In light of this year's worsening drought, the town of Culver is looking into the possibility of drilling an extra well for the town's water supply.
According to Town Manager David Schoeff, the town board had discussed the idea a while ago and had a study done regarding the project, but nothing had come of it. Since then, some comments had been made at the last board meeting that some residents thought the board should look into the idea once again because of the dry weather.
Schoeff says the dry weather isn't causing concern for the water supply, but they're instead looking into the possibility to ensure that as the town grows, the water supply can accommodate the expansion.
So, while town officials aren't concerned about wells "drying up" or presenting other problems, there is a possibility of plant improvements and the drilling of another well. Schoeff says it's important for the town to be prepared to grow physically, but they want to take cautious steps as they plan for the future.
Because the previous study was done some time ago, Schoeff says they will likely do more planning and update some of the costs that were presented previously. Once they've determined how much such an expansion is likely to cost, Schoeff says they will discuss how to pay for it and determine what grants are available to cover some of the costs.
Schoeff emphasized that no decision about expanding the plant or drilling new wells has been made, but they are evaluating the idea thoroughly to ensure the right decision is made.

My fiance and I stayed at this hotel on Sat March 29, 2014 and it was horrible!!!!! We booked our room checked in which the lady at the front desk was sweet and fast in checking us in. We went to our room walked in and it was freezing in the room (which I understand since it was vacant). We proceeded to turn to on the heat and 30 mins later it felt colder than when we first arrived. Called down to the over 15 times with no answer. So we went down stairs (3rd floor) and let the front desk know we had no heat and that there was pubic hair in the bath tub which was completely disgusting!!!!! We were informed that the maintenance would be up to in the next 30 mins. This was around 6:30, he DID NOT show up for over 2 hours! By then I was completely froze. We had booked a smoking room he walked in and walked right back out and told us to our face that he did not work in a room smoking! He proceeded to tell us he would change our room for us. The employee went and opened the room right next door to the one we were in so we could move our luggage. He said we would need to go down stairs to get keys for the new room. We did and walked back up the 3 sets of stairs for the 3rd time to find out the key didn't work. Walked back down and the front desk reprogrammed our keys and told us that they would work. So we went back upstairs and THE KEYS DID NOT WORK STILL!!!!! All of our belongings including my purse was in the new room. By this time I was pissed so I went back down and informed the lady the keys still didn't work. She called the maintenance man back and we were asked to meet him at our room. His key barely worked and he plain out said something was wrong with the lock that if we wanted to leave for anything we would have to go back down stairs to have someone to let us in!!!! They wanted to move us again and we refused to move because by this time it was 10:30. I was ready to go to bed. By this time I was furious I asked for the managers name and number and asked when he would be back in. The clerk wrote his name down for me. The next morning went down and spoke with the "manager" and he point out called me a liar about the PUBIC HAIR in the bathtub and that he would give us 25% off our stay!!! No we dealt with this for over 4 hours. I asked the "manager" if he was indeed the manager and he lied to my face and said no. I told him he needed to let me back in the nasty room to get our belongings. I still had the paper where the clerk had written his name down. I took that paper back down to him after getting our belongings. I specifically asked him if that was his name (which was the same name on his name tag) and he told me NO!!!! I was furious and told him he needed to learn to tell the truth and needed to learn how to treat his guest. I do not RECOMMEND this hotel to anyone not even one night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't make the same mistake as we did.

Age gap between couples 'is bigger than ever'Posted on: November 25, 2011 08:32:46
Lonely hearts looking for love online may be inspired by a new study that shows more couples than ever are marrying despite an age gap of ten years or more.
According to relationship counselling group Relate, the age gap between married couples has increased from two years in 2000 to eight years at present.
The Daily Mail reports on four couples who have crossed the age gap and found their perfect match, including one woman who married her father's best friend and another man, aged 44, who got together with a pensioner.
Jay Urquhart-Pettifer, 31, a housekeeper who lives in Coventry, got hitched to her dad's best mate, Anthony, 53. They now live together and despite initial unease from Jay's family, their relationship is very stong.
Furthermore, a 22-year age gap was no obstacle for Dilys Mulhearn, 66, and Austin, 44, from Lancashire. Although Dilys feared that Austin would want children, the pair have made their relationship work for them.
A couple who have stood the test of time in the world of celebrity are Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, despite their 25-year age gap. The couple began dating in 1998 and Douglas popped the question on New Year's Eve.

Testing the activitystat hypothesis: a randomised controlled trial protocol
Health behavior, health promotion and society
The activitystat hypothesis proposes that when physical activity or energy expenditure is increased or decreased in one domain, there will be a compensatory change in another domain to maintain an overall, stable level of physical activity or energy expenditure. To date, there has been no experimental study primarily designed to test the activitystat hypothesis in adults. The aim of this trial is to determine the effect of two different imposed exercise loads on total daily energy expenditure and physical activity levels.
This study will be a randomised, multi-arm, parallel controlled trial. Insufficiently active adults (as determined by the Active Australia survey) aged 18–60 years old will be recruited for this study (n=146). Participants must also satisfy the Sports Medicine Australia Pre-Exercise Screening System and must weigh less than 150 kg. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups using a computer-generated allocation sequence. Participants in the
This protocol has been specifically designed to test the activitystat hypothesis while taking into account the key conceptual and methodological considerations of testing a biologically regulated homeostatic feedback loop. Results of this study will be an important addition to the growing literature and debate concerning the possible existence of an activitystat.
Trial registration
Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry ACTRN12610000248066
There are many well-documented benefits to participating in regular physical activity, with national guidelines on physical activity levels being implemented in many developed countries for a number of years
First described in 1998, the activitystat hypothesis suggests that when physical activity (or perhaps energy expenditure) is increased or decreased in one domain, there will be a compensatory change in another domain, in order to maintain an overall stable level of physical activity or energy expenditure
The postulation of an activitystat was primarily founded on plausible biological mechanisms in both humans and animals
As outlined by the review, a purpose-designed study investigating the activitystat hypothesis should be experimental in nature and include an imposed stimulus for compensation. The study should employ objective measures of both physical activity and energy expenditure (including measures of resting metabolic rate) to ensure that both variants of the regulated variable are monitored. Ideally, this would include the gold standard methodology for measuring total energy expenditure in humans, doubly labeled water
Therefore, this paper presents a protocol specifically designed to test the activitystat hypothesis in adults, taking into account these key methodological considerations. The primary aim of this study is to determine the effect of two different imposed 6-week exercise loads in previously sedentary 18–60 year olds on total energy expenditure and physical activity. The secondary aims of this study are (a) to determine how participants adjust their daily activity patterns to accommodate the imposed exercise load, and (b) to investigate dose–response relationships between physical activity and anthropometric and physiological variables.
'Testing the ActivityStat Hypothesis' is a multi-arm, parallel and single-blinded randomised controlled intervention trial. Participants will be allocated to one of three groups, a control group or one of two intervention groups: a
Ethical approval
This study has received ethical approval from the University of South Australia Human Research Ethics Committee prior to study commencement and is registered with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (Trial Registration: ACTRN12610000248066). All participants will be required to provide written informed consent prior to screening assessments.
The participants will be males and females aged 18–60 years who meet the following selection criteria:
• Insufficiently active, defined as participating in less than 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in the last week as determined by the Active Australia Survey
•Satisfy the pre-exercise screening guidelines for commencing exercise as determined by the Sports Medicine Australia Pre-Exercise Screening System
• Body weight <150 kg
Participants must weigh less than 150 kg due to the increased risk of injury during a moderate or extensive exercise program. Any potential participant who is excluded on this basis will be referred to the University of South Australia Exercise Physiology Clinic.
Recruitment and activity screening
Participants for this study will be recruited via email and print advertising in a metropolitan university, a tertiary hospital and several government departments. Potential participants will be encouraged to contact the researchers for further information and will then be forwarded details regarding participant commitments and expectations. Participants who remain interested will then be invited to attend the Exercise Research Laboratory at the University of South Australia to undertake the Active Australia Survey
Pre-exercise screening
Pre-exercise screening will be carried out using the Sports Medicine Australia Pre-Exercise Screening System
Randomisation and blinding
Participants will be randomly allocated to one of the three groups (Moderate exercise group, Extensive exercise group or Control) by a person external to the study using computer-generated allocation sequence. This will be carried out once baseline testing is completed to ensure that allocation concealment is satisfied. It is not possible to blind participants to group allocation due to the nature of physical activity, however all participants will be blinded to the activitystat hypothesis. All research assistants carrying out physical and questionnaire measures will be blinded to the participants' group allocation.
The two intervention conditions are based upon a six week group-based physical activity intervention - a program previously developed and tested within the University of South Australia, known as the 40-DAY Physical Activity Program
This intervention was designed within the framework of several theoretical components important for long-term behavioural change, including an intra-personal focus on self-efficacy, outcome expectancy of health and fitness benefits, inter-personal and cultural factors (group work), physical activity monitoring, goal setting, identifying barriers and enablers and health and fitness testing
The Moderate intervention is designed to involve approximately half the load of the Extensive group. Participants in the Moderate group will attend instructor-led group classes of 60 minutes duration three times per fortnight. Participants will then be required to carry out a minimum of 30 minutes of self-directed activities on a further two days per week. The Moderate exercise intervention is designed to increase MVPA by approximately 150 minutes per week (equivalent to approximately 4000 kJ/week). This dosage is consistent with the minimum level of energy expenditure recommended for exercise beginners by the United States Surgeon General (600 kJ/day)
Participants in the Extensive group will attend instructor-led group classes of 60 minutes duration three times per week. Participants will then be required to carry out a minimum of 30 minutes of self-directed activities on a further four days per week. The extensive exercise intervention is designed to increase MVPA by approximately 300 minutes per week (equivalent to approximately 8000 kJ/week). Overall, participants will be required to complete at least 30 minutes of activity every day for 40 days. Table
Both intervention groups will be required to keep a physical activity diary and to wear a heart rate monitor for all physical activity sessions greater than 10 minutes (Polar S610i). Participants will be asked to record information for each exercise session including activity type and rating of perceived exertion
Participants allocated to the control group will be given no specific instructions regarding their lifestyle. They will be wait-listed to receive the UniSA PA program upon completion of all study assessments.
Outcome measures
All participants will undergo a number of measurements at five time periods during the study: baseline or week zero (before the program begins), mid-program (weeks 3–4), end-program (week 5–6), and at 3 month and 6 month follow-up. These measurements will include doubly labeled water, resting metabolic rate, use of time recalls, accelerometry, various anthropometric and physiological measures and submaximal VO2max tests. Figure

Overview of protocol by outcome measure
Overview of protocol by outcome measure. MARCA = Multimedia Activity Recall for Children and Adults (use of time recall) RMR = Resting metabolic rate DLW = doubly labeled water.
Doubly labeled water
Measurement of total energy expenditure by doubly labeled water will be carried out at baseline and end of the program. Doubly labeled water is considered the gold standard method of energy expenditure measurement in humans
Participants will be administered a dose of doubly labeled water after providing a pre-dosing urine sample. The dose will be administered as 1.55 g per kg of body weight from a stock dose that will combine 1.5 g.kg–1 body weight of 10% 18O and 0.05 g.kg–1 body weight of 2H, with the stock dose prepared based on a body weight of 300 kg. Participants will be instructed to collect a post-stock dose urine sample 4–6 hours following dosing, as well as daily urine samples for the following 14 days (excluding sampling from the first void of the day). Participants will be asked to store the samples in a domestic freezer until they are returned to the university at the end of the collection period. Samples will be analysed for isotope enrichment using isotope ratio mass spectrometry
Resting metabolic rate
Resting metabolic rate will be measured using indirect calorimetry via a ventilated hood at baseline and end of the program. Participants will be instructed to be rested and fasted for a minimum of 12 hours prior to the measurement of resting metabolic rate and will be tested while lying down in an environmental chamber with an ambient temperature of 24° C and relative humidity of 60%
Accelerometry will be used to objectively assess the physical activity of participants at all measurement points using the Actigraph GT3X (Actigraph, Penascola, FL). Participants will be required to wear the accelerometer on an elastic waist belt aligned with the right anterior axillary line for seven days at each measurement period at all times (including sleep), except when showering, bathing, swimming or engaging in contact sports. Participants will be asked to complete a brief log to record whether and when they removed the monitor for any reason. Accelerometers will be set to capture 30 second epochs and minimum wear time will be defined as 10 hours per day for four of the seven days, one of which must be a weekend day. Non-wear time will be defined as 60 minutes of consecutive zeros. Total counts and minutes spent in sedentary, light, moderate and vigorous physical activity domains according to the vertical axis will be calculated using the Actlife 5.5 software (Actigraph, Penascola, FL) using cut-offs previously described by Troiano and colleagues
The Actigraph has demonstrated inter-device reliability (r=0.98)
Multimedia activity recall for children and adults
Use of time will be measured via telephone interview using the Multimedia Activity Recall for Children and Adults (MARCA). The MARCA is a computerised 24-hour recall tool and will be administered at all measurement points of the study. The MARCA asks participants to recall their previous day from midnight to midnight using meal times as anchor points in a segmented day format. Participants recall their day in time slices of five minutes or more by choosing from 520 different activities organised under a number of categories, such as "Self-Care", "Occupation" or "Sport/Recreation". Each activity in the MARCA is assigned a metabolic equivalents (METs) value based on an expanded version of the Ainsworth compendium so that energy expenditure can be estimated
Originally designed for use in children and adolescents
At each time point, the MARCA will be administered on two occasions, each time recalling two consecutive days, which must include one weekend day and one weekday (such as Friday and Saturday) resulting in a total of four recalled days at each measurement period. For analyses, the four recall days will be averaged using a 5:2 weighting for weekdays: weekend days. Moderate to vigorous physical activity minutes will be calculated as the average number of minutes spent in activities expected to elicit ≥3 METs according to the MARCA compendium. Physical activity level (PAL, in METs) will be calculated using the factorial method, that is by multiplying the rate of energy expenditure associated with each activity (in METs) by the number of minutes for which that activity was performed, summing them across the day, and dividing by 1440 (minutes per day). To determine time spent in zones of energy expenditure, minutes spent in five mutually exclusive and exhaustive energy expenditure zones: 0.0-0.9 METs (sleep); 1.0-1.9 METs (very light physical activity, VLPA); 2.0-2.9 METs (light physical activity, LPA); 3.0-5.9 METs (moderate physical activity, MPA); and ≥6 METs (vigorous physical activity, VPA) will be calculated. Finally, to determine a time use profile, minutes spent in major "activity sets" will be determined, including Physical Activity, Computer, Active Transport, Passive Transport, Quiet Time, Self-Care, Socio-cultural, Work/Study, Chores, Sleep, and TV/Videogames.
The following anthropometric measures will be taken at baseline, end-program and at the 24-month follow up: standing height (Leicester Height Measure, Invicta Plastics, Oadby, Leicester, United Kingdom) and mass (Tanita UM-108, Tanita Corporation, China), waist and hip girths, skin fold measurements (triceps, biceps, subscapular and iliac crest) and thee dimensional (3D) whole-body laser scans (Vitus Smart XXL, Human Solutions GmbH, Kaiserslauten, Germany). All physical measurements will be taken according to the International Standards for Anthropometric Assessment
Physiological measures
Several physiological measures will be collected at baseline and end-program: blood pressure, total serum cholesterol and fasting blood glucose. Blood pressure will be measured using a non-invasive automated sphygmomanometer (Dinamap Pro 100, GE Medical Systems Information Technologies and Critkon Company, LLC, United Kingdom). Blood pressure will be repeatedly measured until there are two measurements within 5 mmHg for both systolic and diastolic pressure. Total serum cholesterol and fasting blood glucose will be measured using a finger-tip blood sample with automated lancets (Accu-Check Safe-T-Pro Plus, Roche, Australia). Blood specimens will be processed using a Reflotron Plus analyser (Woodley Equipment Company Limited, United Kingdom). Participants will be instructed to be rested and fasted for a minimum of 12 hours prior to the physiological measures.
Cardiorespiratory Fitness
VO2max will be estimated at baseline and end-program using the Physical Work Capacity 75% (PWC75%) sub-maximal bicycle ergometer test
Statistical analysis
As this study is aiming to address a mechanism rather than test the effectiveness of the exercise intervention, analysis will be carried out on a per protocol basis where only those participants who complete the intervention will be included in the analyses. Subsequent analyses will also be carried out based on 50% and 75% compliance thresholds with the prescribed volume of physical activity according to objectively monitored adherence (based on heart rate monitoring).
Socio-demographic and anthropometric data will be analysed descriptively. Baseline characteristics of the three groups will be presented but not formally tested for differences. Random effects mixed modelling will be used with time (0, 3, 6, 12 and 24 weeks) and group allocation (
Response variables for secondary analyses will include use of time derived from the MARCA to determine how participants adjust their daily activity patterns when commencing an exercise program and anthropometric (height, mass, girths, skin folds, volumes) and physiological variables (blood pressure, fasting blood glucose and total serum cholesterol, VO2max) to investigate dose response relationships between physical activity and anthropometric and physiological variables.
A priori power calculations determined that a sample of 26 participants per group (n=78) should be able to detect small to moderate effect sizes (Cohen's d=0.2-0.6) for within groups (time effect) and group x time interactions, at 5% alpha level and 80% power. Due to documented dropout rates of physical activity interventions
The possible existence of an activitystat is gaining increasing attention in the physical activity literature. However to date, evidence is largely observational and there has been limited experimental research specifically designed to investigate its existence. To our knowledge, this is the largest experimental, randomised controlled trial to date that has been specifically designed to test the activitystat hypothesis while taking into account the key conceptual and methodological considerations of testing a biologically regulated homeostatic feedback loop.
This study aims to contribute significantly to the physical activity literature by primarily determining the effect of two different volume six-week physical activity interventions in previously inactive adults on total energy expenditure and physical activity. In addition, this study is aiming to comprehensively chart time use patterns in accommodating a new exercise program and dose response relationships between physical activity and anthropometric and physiological outcomes.

Such an amazing place! THE best place to be in Cayman… could not fault this place. We stayed in the Tower and loved it. The views were just outstanding
Such an amazing place! THE best place to be in Cayman… could not fault this place. We stayed in the Tower and loved it. The views were just outstanding.
We just spent 5 lovely days in a Penthouse Tower Ocean Front suite at the Caribbean Club to celebrate my 40th birthday. Emma and Noreen were so helpful when planning this trip. They provided me with so much information about the Caribbean Club, Cayman and excursions. It was my first trip to Cayman but will be going back every year from now on and staying in the Caribbean Club...there's no place else like it in the world! Right on the most pristine beach I have ever seen in my life... I think it's the closest thing to heaven I have ever felt! The sunsets from our balcony were just magical.
Our family of 6 are currently staying at The Caribbean Club in a 3-bedroomed Penthouse Suite. This will be a place to return to. Our suite is spacious and comfortable with amazing beds, pillows and furnishings. We have a superb kitchen, equipped with just about everything needed to prepare any type of meal. The food in LUCA is out of this world. We had Sunday Brunch yesterday and grazed for 2 hours - the quality and choice offered has to be seen to be believed. Emma highly recommended this property to us and everything she said about it is true. Noreen arranged our car rental and tomorrow we are looking forward to a snorkelling trip to Stingray City which she also arranged for us. Our kids love it here - they are in the pool every morning at 8am. Our suite overlooks the Caribbean Ocean, sunset is spectacular. We don't' want this trip to end, but when it does, we'll be booking our next one as soon as possible. Exceptional Villas are indeed Exceptional - highly recommended.
We stayed at this 6th floor condo on 7 mile beach, and we thought it was perfect. Exactly as billed, and in many ways, better. Very large, very nice 3 bedroom condo with very large living room and kitchen and a great deck looking West, right at the sunsets. The building was spotless, the staff great and very unobtrusive. We really liked where it was on the beach, a quieter area than some of the bigger hotels, but really accessible to some good restaurants and a grocery store 1 block away. (The building staff would even return the grocery carts for us). Excellent restaurant on site. Nice pool, but not overrun. The cost of this unit was very worth it for what you get.
The Caribbean Club is located directly on Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman.
The most famous of all the beaches in the Cayman Islands is 7 mile beach. The beach offers 7 miles of the purest and softest white sand with the wonderful calm azure sea beyond. Seven Mile Beach offers visitors an abundance of water sports activities from para-sailing to jet-skiing. Along the beach you will find some of the best resorts in the Caribbean as well as a wonderful selection of restaurants and beach bars.

Published: March 2, 2011 at 4:24 PMI *was* excited. Now Joseph's comment made me sad.
Also, Robert, is there a way you can please start posting a link to the source article in future posts? I've wanted to go to the source on a few other posts in the past as well, maybe you have your reasons for not doing so.
Published: March 2, 2011 at 4:29 PMImpending apocalypse. Sounds like Tom owes Disney a favour. With the exception of Toy Story, Tim Allen hasn't done anything worthwhile in film. Roger S.H. Schulman's writing isn't exactly worth getting excited over, either. Shrek was great, but what else has Roger done?
On the other hand... If Disney decides to make the film as surrealistically humorous as the ride, it could be good. They may have a Rocky Horror thing going on.
Published: March 2, 2011 at 4:36 PMTotally agree with you Joshua.
Tom's an awesome actor, but who knows how he'll end up in this one. Tim Allen is good too, but I agree with your reasoning. Wild Hogs? *barf*
Shrek... to me was too "edgy", kinda reminds me of what Toy Story originally was with the douchie Woody.
Published: March 2, 2011 at 4:45 PMAlmost always, when I don't post a link to source material, it was because it was an e-mail, or from a release that's hidden in a password-protected press website. Sometimes, though, companies post their e-mailed press releases publicly online somewhere, so I'll try to link those when I can find them.
Published: March 2, 2011 at 4:48 PMBig question: Is Weird Al attached to this? :^)
Published: March 2, 2011 at 4:58 PMThis movie has potential. Tim Allen is underrated; it's not his fault that he is given bad scripts. Shrek was edgy, so what? That was what made it so great. Disney should also bring Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio from Pirates of the Caribbean; that would make it a promising project.
Published: March 2, 2011 at 5:25 PM"Skipper Dan" is my, and many of my friends', mini biography. So true!! The script for this has got to be solid, or no amount of star power will save it.
Published: March 2, 2011 at 5:25 PMI think this could make a great movie. What concerns me is that it further propels the idea that every attraction in the parks needs to link back to a successful disney movie. Why do u think they're exploring a second haunted mansion?
I think I actually like attractions made into movies more than attractions made from movies. First, I feel like original attractions fit better into lands than attractions that were movies first. Pirates and Jungle cruise define adventure land whereas buzz lighter, for example, feels forced into tomorrowland. Second I like learning more about the story, hearing it fleshed out, rather than having it forced into a quick attraction.
That being said, this idea (that theme park rides need to be linked to movies) is disheartening to me because I feel like it will stiffle the desire to create new, unique, original attractions. Obviously, that hasn't completely happened yet - the cheetah coaster at busch gardens in proof of that. But I fear for the future
Published: March 2, 2011 at 6:37 PMBruce Campbell...excellent idea. Equip him with a chainsaw, we're all set.
Hanks hasn't been doing much in recent years. I like him, but I won't go see something specifically because he's in it.
Allen? I find him annoying. And Daniel, receiving bad scripts and choosing to sign up and make the movie are two different things. He doesn't have to be one of those actors who makes everything he's offered.
This movie, if it indeed gets made, stands more than a fair chance of being successful due to three factors:
Brand Recognition
Disney's Marketing Genius
Hanks' Track Record
Published: March 2, 2011 at 7:28 PMI forget how old it was, but Wild Hogs was actually a decent Tim Allen movie. As for a Jungle Cruise movie, well.. let's just say I'll save me $10 for another movie. ;P
Published: March 2, 2011 at 7:32 PMBut now for the real question - does this mean the Jungle Cruise will be getting audio-animatronic Tom Hanks & Tim Allen in a few years? Yikes!
Published: March 2, 2011 at 7:39 PMAs long as they avoid using any writers, directors, actors or producers involved in The Haunted Mansion, I'd say we should be OK.
On the other hand, Hanks and Allen are risky choices because of their distinctive voices. Let's hope it doesn't turn into Buzz and Woody on the Jungle Cruise.
I am looking forward to it -- I enjoy both actors' work, and JC is one of my all-time favorite attractions. I'm also hopeful we'll get to see "Night in the Magic Kingdom" sometime soon...
Published: March 2, 2011 at 9:19 PMMaybe this is to attract more people to the Jungle Cruise? Last time i was at disney world, the jungle cruise was empty...
Published: March 3, 2011 at 2:06 AMMy immediate reaction was....its another Haunted Mansion!! (although I do have a lot of hope for the G Del Toro version).
But...done properly, as mentioned, if this retains the offbeat humour and character of the ride, I guess it could work.
But then I am a Wild Hogs fan so Tim Allen in a comedic, light hearted role does kind of appeal to me. Although I wouldnt predict this to ever be a box office smash.
Published: March 3, 2011 at 4:51 AMI was hoping there would be more of a push to go back to the adventurous, mysterious, mostly joke-free, African Queen theme of the original Disneyland attraction (some would argue the ride's current narrative is mostly joke-free already!). But, with this duo there is no doubt the bad puns (are there good puns?) and corn-filled jokes (?) will continue. *Sigh*
Let's just hope the movie is a big enough hit that at least the WDW attraction will get the complete makeover it has so desperately needed since Kilimanjaro Safaris came along and made it completely irrelevant in 1998.
Published: March 3, 2011 at 5:22 AMJC does have movie attachments ..Walt Disneys Nature Series, they were shown on The Wonderful World of Color, and sometimes in theaters. The Captians are based on the narator. But most theme park readers are to young to remember them or the show.
Published: March 3, 2011 at 9:39 AMIt sounds good to me. I want to see it along with the Magic Kingdom movie. As far as the Haunted Mansion movie is concerned, I don't understand the negativity toward it. I enjoyed it a lot and own it on DVD.
Published: March 3, 2011 at 3:39 PMTH! You're dreams are finally coming true!
Published: March 3, 2011 at 5:43 PMRoger Schulman was hired to write the most recent draft of the script. Any hope I had for this movie is lost now that the guy that wrote jungle book 2, mulan 2, and fox and the hound 2 is writing it.
Published: March 4, 2011 at 2:44 AMSurely TH has to get a cameo in this hippo-fest movie.
He's been quiet..........is he in denial ?
Published: March 4, 2011 at 11:40 AMI apologize for bringing a negative aspect to this... but "Edgy" and Disney don't mix. Disney = family fun... as in where everyone can enjoy the movie, from 2 to 92 year olds... just like the parks.
Edgy's fine for Shrek, but "edgy" doesn't belong with Disney movies. Edgy doesn't mean innovative or cutting edge. I think there's a negative connotation with the buzz word "edgy". Like how everything was "EXTREME" in the 90's.
A Fraggle Rock movie is delayed because the Weinsteins want an Edgy version.
The word may have come from the phrase "cutting edge", but "edgy" to me, means trying too hard, like the Shrek sequels. Edgy does not mean better. Edgy means let's include pop culture, make characters have cleavage where it doesn't belong, "rock out", and give guys douchie facial expressions.
That's what almost made me not see Tangled. The trailer was "edgy". "She's grounded... like forever!" That's the best they could come up with? Luckily, the movie was nothing like the trailer and was awesome.
Published: March 4, 2011 at 11:43 AMAnd if the movie does great, we can guarantee Hanks and Allen will be added to the attraction.
Personally, I hope the movie does well as I've met Tom Hanks in person a long time ago... seemed very genuine. And from what I've been told, he's one of the coolest people in Hollywood. If he meets you once in the studio or on set, he remembers your name immediately and loves to chit chat.
Published: March 4, 2011 at 5:54 PMBrandon -
You're right and possibly wrong. Yes, edgy doesn't necessarily mean better. A comedian that overuses certain swear words for the purpose of compensating for mediocre or predictable material is a hack. However, a comedian that discusses that swear words or race or religion or politics or human suffering and offends some people for the purpose of making a point can be brilliant, e.g., Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, Richard Pryor. Saying that Disney and edgy don't mix is not entirely true. Edgy can be satirical. It can be humor or expression with a purpose. Edgy can point out the flaws in something seemingly good, or expose the brighter side of something terrible. Most of Disney's animated films are formulaic. A character suffers some fairly menial problem and deals with it in a happy-ending manner with a couple of quirky (sometimes nonhuman) sidekicks. Some people can watch that over and over and not get bored with it, usually with help from catchy music and beautiful animation. An example of this is Aladdin. When was the last time an Arabic street urchin sung like an American teen pop star? They catered to the audience while sacrificing realism. However, the best films include something edgy, something new. My favourite Disney animated film, Pinocchio, is among their edgiest. It doesn't sugarcoat an important message. If you skip school and/or over-imbibe, you'll be chopped into pieces, forced into performance slavery, or turned into a donkey and sold to the salt mines. It may not be edgy by a modern filmmaker's standards, but it certainly scares kids straight.
If the Jungle Cruise offers nothing more than the crotch injury and fart jokes seen in movies like Wild Hogs, then it's doomed. If they play their cards right and employ some good wordplay, like paraprosdokians or garden path sentences, along with some good visual gags, then the movie may work. It may also work on an ironic level. However, I highly doubt they're going to put much work into the jokes.
Published: March 5, 2011 at 9:23 AMJoshua -
I actually hated Wild Hogs, but in no way do I think it's even in the same realm as Aladdin, Lion King, etc. I'd consider Pinocchio to be cutting edge for its time, but also timeless. You can still watch it to this day and be impressed and take something away from it.
What I'm talking about is how Shrek, Madagascar, or Ice Age always have to use pop music, pop culture references, and always have that jerk character. In other words "trying too hard to be cool." That's what seems to be associated with "Edgy".
"Edgy" is also an overused term that even execs don't even know what they mean. Again, the Weinsteins and especially Michael Bay/ Bruckheimer all strive for "edgy". I'm sure Transformers 2 had some sort of notes of someone wanting it to be "edgier".
But to me, there's nothing wrong with Disney films being like Aladdin as the music is more of a mix... it's not 100% pop sounding music. At least it's not rock music that completely doesn't fit with the locale. We could argue that Beauty & the Beast should be all French music, or Mulan should be traditional Chinese music for realism... but to fair, Aladdin's music has elements of music from the Middle East and Lion King has an African music feel.
Unfortunately, with the Shrek guy at the helm of the script, I think we'll get Wild Hogs more than anything clever. I hope I'm wrong.
Published: March 5, 2011 at 3:28 PMWow..and here I thought "Edgy" was a nickname for U2's guitarist...shows how much I know.
Published: March 5, 2011 at 4:24 PMBrandon -
You're absolutely right. It's become a buzz word. It's meaning is not singular. The pop culture references in animated movies drive me batty. They're rarely funny, and in the rare event they do make me laugh, I feel awkward hearing them again a few years down the road. The Smash Mouth ending of Shrek is beyond annoying. The Matrix fight scene makes me groan.
Also, for the record, I love a good crotch and/or fart joke.
Published: March 5, 2011 at 10:12 PMJoshua-
Agreed about the crotch or fart joke! I just saw Dumb and Dumber a few days ago... love that movie. And I saw Hall Pass today... not their greatest, but it still had a few LOL moments!
The fights in Shrek were poorly animated as well. It's like they didn't really know how to animate fights, so they skipped all of the inbetween frames, and just went for the end of each movement/ attack. Reminds me of how the first Transformers had horrible fight scenes too. They didn't understand that you have to slow down fight scenes in movies so people can see what's going on. I'm not talking about slow mo like in the 2nd TF Movie, but slight reduction in speed. Think of how a real boxing match looks totally different than The Fighter.
I agree... this movie has sparked good discussion.
Industry Buzz words are annoying... "edgy", "challenge", "More Megapixels"... it doesn't matter what industry. Bleh.
Published: March 6, 2011 at 12:29 AMLet's not forget other industry buzz terms: proactive, team player, self-starter.
Dumb and Dumber is a revelation in crotch/fart jokes. The Farrelly brothers were at an apex in their career at that point - There's Something About Mary, Kingpin, Dumb and Dumber...
I agree about the fights, too. Transformers left me with a migraine. It's not necessarily the speed that bothers me - it's the style. Transformers just looked terrible to me.
Pretty bird... Pretty bird...
Published: March 7, 2011 at 8:46 AMNow I'm a little worried about the next Transformers movie too... every Transformer has to do a spin move to shoot or fight... they're spinning just to spin. Didn't they learn something from Jackie Chan or Jet Li? Every move has to have a reason other than aesthetics.
But anyway, I just hope Jungle Cruise doesn't turn into Land of the Lost either. That movie is the typical bad Universal Studios movie like the 3rd Mummy Movie. No flow, flashy, and bad script/ action.
Published: March 8, 2011 at 4:18 AMThis venture isn't ( or I hope it isn't ) going to try to be anywhere near as worthy as the truly great jungle cruise films "The African Queen" or " Sanders of the River".
For Crosby and Hope read TH and Rao ??

Your answer is one click away!
I'm trying to filter a list in ansible in Jinja2 when the elements contain a string, but the Jinja documentation doesn't seem clear enough for me to figure it out.
This is what I have so far:
- name: run script
command: /usr/tmp/run_script.py
register: script_results
- name: display run info
var: "{{script_results.stdout_lines | select(\"'running script' in script_results.stdout_lines\") }}"
But all I get is the error:
"<generator object _select_or_reject at 0x13851e0>": "VARIABLE IS NOT DEFINED!"
So for example, if
stdout_lines contains
["apples","running script one","oranges","running script two"], I want to print
running script one
running script two
They have documentation for select and documentation for built-in-tests, but they don't display the "in" test, and I don't know how they work in the context of this ansible variable.
I tried solving it like this:
- name: display run info
var: item
with_items: "{{script_results.stdout_lines}}"
when: "'running script' in item"
But that displays "skipping" for every line that doesn't pass the test ... kinda defeating the purpose!
I understand there may be more than one way to do this. Will this work for you?
- debug: var={{item}}
when: item.find('running script') > -1
with_items: script_results.stdout_lines
select filter would take another filter. Like in the docs
odd, which will return only the odd elements of the list. The filter you would like to combine
select with is
Now here's the thing. Ansible bundles a very old version of Jinja2, which simply does not contain the
equalto filter. Yes, that renders it useless unless you want to filter odd elements. (Which nobody ever in history wanted to...)
Furthermore I was yet unable to make custom filter plugins work in Ansible 2. So you're pretty much forced to hack something ugly together.
helloV already showed one option. Here is another idea:
- name: run script
shell: /usr/tmp/run_script.py | grep "running script"
register: script_results
I recently discovered you can use
match (not a standard Jinja2 filter but added by Ansible) together with
select. Thats a good replacement for the
eualto filter plus you can use regular expressions. This should work:
{{ script_results.stdout_lines | select("match", ".*running script.*") }}
I ended up writing a python script to do it, because I couldn't get ansible or ancient-jinja2 to make the cut.
Ansible tasks:
- name: gather run info
command: "{{role_path}}/files/print_results.py {{script_results.stdout_lines}}"
register: script_print_results
delegate_to: 127.0.0.1
run_once: true
- name: display run info
var: script_print_results.stdout_lines
delegate_to: 127.0.0.1
run_once: true
Python script:
for result_line in sys.argv[1:]:
if "running script:" in result_line:
print result_line[1:-1]

Amber Tamblyn writes about dead actresses. Icons like Jean Harlow and Marilyn Monroe people her powerful poems, but so do lesser-known starlets, such as Li Tobler, whose acting career was overshadowed by her relationship with a Swiss painter. Depressed, she died tragically at the age of 27.
That Tamblyn herself is an Emmy-nominated actress doesn't influence her thematic choices directly; these women, she says, aren't so different from other women, who due to social norms are expected to perform in their own ways. Tamblyn's acting career has influenced her writing in other ways; her poe...

The goal of this workshop is to introduce the concept of interval training and explore how the technique could be introduced in a group class. Many clients are not able to tolerate a full 45 to 60 minute high intensity interval workout, so the technique should be introduced slowly in group class settings. Utilizing the innovative design of the Halo Trainer and Stability Ball, participants will learn an introductory-level group class and explore how to transition smoothly from one exercise to another to maximize flow and build a solid foundation. Help novice clients or those new to Halo training get the most out of their workout by learning and understanding how to implement this system in an interval-style class.

The Unnaturalists by Tiffany Trent
In an alternate London where magical creatures are preserved in a museum, two teens find themselves caught in a web of intrigue, deception, and danger.
Vespa Nyx wants nothing more than to spend the rest of her life cataloging Unnatural creatures in her father's museum, but as she gets older, the requirement to become a lady and find a husband is looming large. Syrus Reed's Tinker family has always served and revered the Unnaturals from afar, but when his family is captured to be refinery slaves, he finds that his fate may be bound up with Vespa's—and with the Unnaturals.
As the danger grows, Vespa and Syrus find themselves in a tightening web of deception and intrigue. At stake may be the fate of New London—and the world.
Goodreads Summary
What would you do in a world where magic was evil and science mandatory, the only logical explanation? Would you still believe? Vespa doesn't want to mold herself to the role expected of her, but having to find a husband and settle down is looming ever near. Those readers expecting romance in this story may be disappointed, however, as Vespa does not focus much on romance at all. The world the author created is richly detailed. The reader will learn of Pedants and Unnaturalists, of worshipped scientists and hated supporters of magic. The first in a series, this book lays the ground work for more books to come and leaves a few questions unanswered to draw readers in.
The story has alternating view points. Vespa's character is easy to like. She strives to become someone she can respect and is determined to become a Pedant. Syrus provides both comic relief and some explanations for the reader. The world seen through his eyes is informative. It is interesting to see how Syrus and Vespa's decisions affect each other and how their fates really do seem to be intertwined. The other characters are interesting and add to the plot point, but are not as memorable. The plot may sound familiar, but the author puts a new twist that will make for a quick read. Overall, this book is recommended to young adult/teen readers.

3. Applications to Census Undercount Estimation
The results of Section 2 provide guidance about the likely size of errors due to heterogeneity in the Census Bureau's small-area estimates of undercounts from the 1990 PES. They provide such guidance to the extent that the P-12 variables provide meaningful analogues to undercounts with respect to place-to-place variability, and to the extent that P-12 resembles the PES in sample design and post-stratification. The P-12 variables were chosen specifically to provide such analogues. Like undercounts, they are Census coverage indicators, and the Census Bureau goes so far as to call them "proxies" or "surrogates" for undercount. The P-12 sample design was chosen to be essentially the same as that for the PES, and the post-stratifications are identical. These considerations all support the idea of taking P-12 as a guide to the effects of heterogeneity on 1990 undercount estimates.
On the other hand, there is no direct validation of the posited similarity between P-12 variables and undercounts. The main available comparisons are in terms of overall levels and indices of dispersion. These are presented in this section. It turns out that undercounts fall well within the range of alternatives spanned by the four P-12 variables, but no single P-12 variable is a close match in both level and dispersion.
Net undercounts can be negative (when there is an overcount) but the P-12 variables are always non-negative. This is an important difference which weakens the analogy. The net undercount is approximately equal to the difference between two non-negative variables, the rates of "gross omissions" (e.g., missed persons) and "erroneous enumerations" (e.g., duplicates or fabrications). The P-12 variables may be better analogues for these two components of undercount than for their difference, but the overall picture is complicated by the correlations between gross omissions and erroneous enumerations which extend within post-strata all the way down to Census blocks.
Information on levels and indices of dispersion for undercount variables are shown in Table 4. They are to be compared to the corresponding rows for P-12 variables in Table 1. In Table 4, following common Bureau practice, centered adjustment factors are used in place of undercount rates. The centered adjustment factor for any unit is calculated by taking the estimated true count, dividing by the Census count, and subtracting one. The centered adjustment factor is close to the undercount rate itself. The first column in Table 4 pertains to the Bureau's "smoothed" adjustment factors, the factors actually used for the Bureau's calculation of adjusted counts. The second column pertains to the "raw" adjustment factors. These are dual-system estimates from PES data, calculated post-stratum by post-stratum. The raw factors were transformed into the smoothed factors by an empirical Bayes smoothing algorithm [Freedman et al. 1993]. The final two columns pertain to the gross omission and erroneous enumeration rates. Neither Table 4 nor Table 1 is weighted for post-stratum size.
The level and dispersion of a variable undoubtedly affect the numerical values of for the variable, so the comparisons between Table 1 and Table 4 are important indicators of the relevance of P-12 to undercounts. With one exception, we see that all entries in Table 4 fall between the corresponding values for substitutions and for allocations in Table 1. The exception is the 5.9% sampling standard error for the raw factors, which falls above the standard error for allocations and just below the high estimate of standard error for multi-unit housing. Thus, in terms of the quantities shown in Table 4, the P-12 variables do span the relevant range, but none matches on all dimensions.
An important conclusion is suggested by comparing the figure of 2.0% in the lower left of Table 4 with the figures in the first row of Table 1. The 2.0% is the RMS of the Bureau's estimates of sampling standard error for its smoothed adjustment factors, and it is lower than any of the RMS values of for local areas in Table 1. If the P-12 variables are at all valid analogues, then the estimated PES sampling variances are evidently dominated by the variance due to heterogeneity measured by 2. Sampling variance is the contribution to error which the Bureau did include in its error margins for adjusted local counts [U.S. Bureau of the Census 1991]. Variance due to heterogeneity is one of the contributions it did not include. The data here suggest that what was left out is more important than what was put in.
It is likely that some part of the true contribution from sampling variability was also left out. The 2.0% figure for sampling standard deviation is believed to be a considerable underestimate [Fay and Thompson 1993, Freedman et al. 1993]. In principle, sampling variance can be traded off against variance due to heterogeneity by adopting a coarser or finer post-stratification. But the variances due to heterogeneity implied by Table 1 are so large that the leeway for such tradeoffs appears rather slight.
The particular use we are making of P-12, with our concentration on heterogeneity alone and our direct calculation of within post-strata, avoids certain difficulties which would confront more ambitious uses. We are not calculating measures of overall error for local counts or shares. Thus we are not engaged in assessing the augmentations or cancellations of error that take place when the positive or negative estimated adjustments for different post-strata in the same local area are added together to yield the total estimate for the area. We cannot do so with P-12, because P-12 superblocks for different post-strata do not coincide. Heterogeneity implies error both in Census counts and in adjusted counts, and the balance between these errors appears to be a delicate function of patterns of cancellation when post-stratum contributions are summed. We are also not engaged in studying the interaction between errors in local counts due to heterogeneity and errors at all levels due to bias in post-stratum-wide adjustment factors. We are studying errors in an idealized, bias-free setting. This setting would correspond to a PES in which the post-stratum-wide adjustment factors were known perfectly. Our counterparts of post-stratum-wide factors, that is, our s, are unbiased.
The post-stratum-wide adjustment factors in the real PES are known to be biased. There is, of course, some ratio-estimator bias. That is a side-effect of heterogeneity, and should be distinguished from the heterogeneity studied in this report, which affects estimated rates for local areas within post-strata. There are other, more important, biases in the adjustment factors estimated by the PES. Attempts have been made to measure some of these by quality-control and followup studies, but only at the level of large aggregations of post-strata. Biases are quantified in [Breiman 1994] and in Table 15 of the Census Bureau's P-16 Project Report. Unfortunately, this crucial table is omitted from the published version [Mulry and Spencer 1993]. There is also unmeasured "correlation bias" resulting from the tendency for people missed by the Census to be more likely to be missed by the PES estimates. Essentially nothing is known about how the measured biases are distributed among the post-strata, and even less about the size and distribution of correlation bias. Thus there is not yet a basis on which definitive assessments of the relative accuracy of adjusted and unadjusted counts for local areas could be made - unless some rather heroic assumptions are to be imposed on the data. For recent reviews, see [Brown et al. 1999, Wachter and Freedman 2000], but those findings seem to be disputed in [Prewitt 2000].
In short, at the local level, what can be made are assessments of components of error like heterogeneity, not assessments of relative accuracy. To strengthen the assessments, it would be valuable to relate P-12 more closely to the PES. The Census Bureau (as far as we can tell) has not released data sufficient to calculate place-to-place correlations between the variables studied here and undercounts. In principle, substitutions, allocations, non-mailback rates, and multi-unit housing rates exist along with undercount estimates for the 5392 PES block clusters. Even more relevant than such cross-correlations would be autocorrelation functions for the variables, calculated as functions of physical or notional distance between areas. The PES sample size is small for this purpose, but some insights could be gleaned. At present, the correlations that can be computed are those that are least relevant - across post-strata. Smoothed adjustment factors correlate 0.60 with non-mailback rates, 0.23 with multi-unit housing rates, 0.18 with substitution rates, and 0.07 with allocation rates, across post-strata. Substitution and allocation rates correlate 0.61 with each other.
The PES sample is too small to give estimates of heterogeneity of the precision obtained from P-12. At the local level, the data for an calculation are not available to us at all for most post-strata. At the state level, using weighted data by post-stratum and calculating as if the sampling weights were uniform within post-strata, we find RMS values for for state-to-state heterogeneity of 10% for gross omissions and 7% for erroneous enumerations. These figures fall near the upper end of the RMS state-level values in Table 1. The PES estimates for single post-strata are unstable to the extent that about 25% of post-strata come out with negative estimated values of 2. The RMS values over all 1380 post-strata are bound to be more stable, and the figures suggest that heterogeneity in components of undercount is at least as great as heterogeneity in the P-12 variables.

You'll forget it isn't a real minnow. It's hard for large fish to resist the slow-rising Shadow Rap. They can flawlessly mimic a minnow in distress with a horizontal struggle with a vertical "rise" on pause. You can fish from a finesse all the way up to an aggressive retrieve. Plus, the larger profile has more flash. Cast one of these and see what behemoths are living in your lake.
Available in numerous different patterns
Color patterns can make all the difference. Whether you're fishing in one of the Great Lakes or in the pond out back, the pattern and color of your lure can mean the difference between hooking the big one and go home empty handed. Rapala® knows this and has released the Shadow Rap in numerous different colors and patterns to fit with the way you fish. Find your perfect minnow today.
Struggle is a good thing
It kicks up to almost 180° right and then left. This continuous motion means it moves forward very little in the travel. This allows the lure to stay in the strike zone longer.
Going down... face first
