John and his staff met and exceeded my expectations. They kept me and my fiancee well informed. I am quite certain we would not have been successful in our K-1 Fiancee Visa (China) without the help of The Roth Immigration Law Firm. Every case is unique. In our circumstance, the age factor was considerable. I was 58 and my fiancee 24 when we started the visa process. John would did not accept our case until they had interviewed both of us. When John was satisfied that we had a bonified relationship and that we would "go the distance" because we loved one another, the full resources of his office and vast experience in immigration law, were made available to us. Accept no immitations when you have such important matters as an immigration visa. John and his staff are the "Real Thing"! Thanks Joh, Laurie and GayLynn! From "MO & Sunny" Oh, we'll send along some wedding pictures soon.

We would like to thank Laurie Wu and her staff at Roth Immigration Law Firm for their excellent assistance in obtaining a K1 visa for Sera and her daughter to come to the US. Sera and I began corresponding about two and a half years ago when Sera wrote to me on a dating web site. After writing almost daily for a long period I visited her in China and confirmed that she was the woman of my dreams. Knowing that we loved each other was easy, but getting her to America proved to be a daunting task. I had been married three times previously and during the last brief marriage there had been unsubstantiated public charges of "abuse" when I defended my daughter against her. Sera was, because of her work, a member of CCP. So we both had issues that could complicate obtaining a K-1 Visa.
Laurie worked with us from the beginning, going through the risks of each issue and helping us to prepare to deal with these issues. She and her staff assembled our documentation and warned us of the latest issues that could become mistakes for us in our application. We made it through the application process without problems and only a peculiar request for further documentation of Sera's "international" travels caused an initial rejection at the interview stage. Sera had never traveled internationally but had taken one trip with her daughter to Hong Kong. The Guangzhou office also appeared to treat the application as one for a work Visa and demanded Sera provide a resume and work plan. Laurie patiently guided us each step of the way relieving us of great stress and preparing us for application risks along the way. She guided us through the request for additional information process insuring that our "additional information" would be adequate to meet the often peculiar needs of the Guangzhou office. She warned us, for example, not to "marry" in China as that would prevent Sera's daughter, then age 19, from coming to the US with her.
Laurie and her staff were always quick to respond to our questions and concerns. She quickly followed up when the Guangzhou office sent out a second Request for Information denial but did not request any information thereby insuring that our application was still on track. While we did not make our goal to marry this last July, Guangzhou finally approved Sera and Sandy's Visas and we will marry this November 6. I know because of the complexity of our case that we would have made many mistakes without Laurie's guidance. Her ability to smooth the bumps in the road to approval seems impeccable and we will be forever grateful to her for her assistance and expertise in making that wedding possible. I would recommend anyone to use her services. The K-1 visa process with the Guangzhou office can get complicated, even for the simplest application. Those complications can drag the process on for ever. We learned of many disappointed and frustrated applicants on various web sites and internet conversations during our application process. Often their speculation and advice turned out to be erroneous. Because of Laurie's advice and careful guidance of our application through the process, our relatively complicated case made it over all the potential bumps in our path and we will marry within one year of our initial application.

I hired John Roth for my fiance's K-1 visa. While John was involved in the entire process, I worked primarily with Laurie. Laurie always responded to my emails within 24 hours – even on Sundays. I was always able to reach her on the phone, and spoke to her many times throughout the process. Our case was quite complicated because my fiancé has previously been affiliated with the CCP (she is from China). Laurie ensured that we prepared all of the necessary paperwork to prove that her affiliation with the CCP was in fact non-meaningful. Other lawyers assured me that her membership would not be an issue, but John Roth informed me otherwise. After a smooth process through each stage, when we went to the US consulate in Guangzhou, they did in fact ask her to provide supplementary documentation about the nature of her previous involvement in the CCP. Because Laurie and John Roth had us prepare everything in advance, rather than extending the process by another few months, my fiancé handed in all of the documents at the interview itself. My fiancé received her K-1 visa last week and we have already hired John Roth for the adjustment of status process. I offer my strongest recommendation on behalf of John Roth and Laurie.

My name is Naima and I am writing to express my fullest thanks to John F Roth Firm for having made the process of my Fiancé Visa so easy. It was just a piece of cake. We found John Roth's website on the Internet and we decided to go with it. Not one time during the entire process have we been discouraged. There was this lady called Mrs. Gay Lynn Smith who always kept the lines of communication open. Not one time have I tried to get in touch with her all the way from Morocco and she didn't reply back. She was very nice and helped us and my fiancé understand every detail. Her patience and kindness cannot be described in words. I got my VISA in less then 6 months and it was great! I am so thankful that we hired the services of John Roth Firm and guess what? When I came here to the U.S and I got married to the man of my life, my husband and I decided to hire the Firm again to speed up my Green Card and Work Permit pocess. It was just too much papers to do on our own. We felt that we needed some assistance again and we were right. One more time, it was a wonderful decision to hire John F Roth Firm. We didn't have to struggle with the papers or anything else. We called Mrs. Gay Lynn Smith again and she and her wonderful colleagues made things easy for us. I got my Green Card and Work Permit in the twinkling of an eye.
Believe me if I say that when my Green Card will be about to expire, we will hire this Firm again. We are so thankful for all the support they have provided us with and we will never forget it as long as we live.
If you need your file to be dealt with professionally, hire John F Roth Firm, you will only be satisfied.

After using Roth Immigration firm I will never recommend them to anyone. They did not do any call to the NVC or the USCIS. My Fiance and I had to inform the every step of the way. They always used excuses that it was the first time for this. And repeatedly the paperwork was done incorrectly. They even sent us a Petition from another client containing personall information by mistake. They never even appoligized for the mistakes they made. I asked for money back and they laughed. So now my Fiance and I did not get her visa approved because they did not look over the paperwork completely. This was after I asked Lauri to personally look over all the paperwork after they made many mistakes previously.

My Chinese girlfriend just got her fiancee visa in her mail last week! Her interview was the 4th of August, and I'm so proud and happy to say she got through her interview and only a week later her passport came in the mail with her K-1 visa pasted inside! Thanks to Mr Roth and Laurie Wu, our visa became a reality! In late October, my sweet girlfriend, Juan, will be here. Many thanks to Mr Roth!

John Roth and his wonderful staff represented my wife and i with our K1 visa. They worked with us to bring my wife from the Philippines to here in the USA. I hired them Jan 31, 2010 and my fiance (now wife) was eligible to enter the USA on August 19, 2010. John, Laurie and Gay Lynn guided us through the process and submitted our paperwork done perfectly the first time. They left no stone unturned and made the whole process so easy. When ever we had a question they answered the phone and gave us the answer. This is not just a typical law firm, this firm goes above and beyond and cares about the client likethey are family. I highly recommend this firm , they are the best.

I used this lawyer after speaking with numerous K1 attorneys. John roth is not the cheapest K1 attorney out their,But as the saying goes "you get what you pay for". John's firm was Very Throughul from the first day I contracted them to help me,get my fiancee's k1 visa to the day she received her k1 visa. My k1 visa was very complicated and I did not think she would receive it as fast as she did. Johns firm says it all about his Success rate in obtaing k1 visas. Last of all if he accepts to represent you for visa, consider yourself lucky he is doing it for you and not the money like alot of attorneys do.

I would like to thank the office of John F. Roth for assisting us with our fiance visa. They informed us and helped us every step of the way. Gay Lynn was awesome and we are so thankful. For those contemplating whether to hire a lawyer or not for the fiance visa process, some things are better left to a professional, especially a matter so important as this. You will not be disappointed, BELIEVE me.

Having no experience with visas, immigration law, etc., I was very pleased when I first contacted Rohn Roth's office and very quickly received a call from Gay Lynn Smith. After the initial consultation and instructions regarding the filling out of forms (with detailed instructions) from John and Gay Lynn, I felt comfortable to give these guys the reins. I found Rohn Roth and Gay Lynn to be accessible to my queries and worries (there were plenty) and feel I truly got my money's worth. Navigating the immigration process is difficult, confusing and frustrating. Their knowledge of the system, careful instructions of what to do, and when, and near immediate responses to my myriad of questions helped me through this process. Thank you guys for all your help!

and pursuant to the employment contract entered into, all legal matters must be adjudicated in CA. Would the courts in CA apply CA law, or NY law, where I physically worked as an independent contractor?
You say you have a claim against your "employer," and then you say worked in New York as an "independent contractor."
The employee vs. independent contractor distinction is a gray area of the law and can be tricky, even for experienced employers.
California law is generally employee-friendly You may be better off applying California law, if it is more favorable to your case.
On the other hand, if New York law were more favorable than California law on your case, you may want to consider filing suit in New York if you have a legal basis for suing in New York, because New York courts may have an overriding interest in protecting New York residents if New York law is more favorable than California law.
You should talk to a lawyer on this one. It will take a little bit of research to answer this question.

Can a California court apply New York law?
Courts uphold forum selection clauses so if you have a contract that says any suit must be in California a New York court will dismiss your case if the employer makes a motion for that relief.

I can't bring an action in NY, so it's irrelevant about NY court involvement. Which state's labor laws would apply?
I looked into a similar issue once. If the claim is based on New York Labor law rather than the contract specifically, there may be a chance that an NY court will keep the case here. It may be worth a shot to look into that. No guarantees though. Forum clauses are usually enforced.

I am owed commissions, for which I was supposed to be paid in "x" number of days after termination, so that's my only concern re venue. There are huge penalties for non-compliance w/each state's laws. Wouldn't the commission issue itself, well over $100k, (I'm legally entitled to commission in both states) dictate a California resolution, pursuant to the employment contract?
The answer to this question will depend on the employment contract, the specific wording of the clause and the underlying facts of your claim. So the short answer is: "it depends."
Moreover, you may WANT to litigate this under California law rather than New York law, despite the fact that it may be inconvenient. Why would you want this? The law may be more favorable to you in California. Generally speaking, California state law is more favorable to employees than New York for certain legal issues. So what you really need to do is contact an attorney who has experience in both states' employment law and have them review this employment agreement.

RMI can be used to send objects over the wire where the far end doesnt have the .class files.

Sort of, but its mainly getting machines to talk to each other without having all the artifacts pre-installed at the far end. I think OSGi works best if whoever assembles the bundle knew exactly what was going to be needed at all times. anyway, this is a digression from the issues of building/using OSGi. I think Ivy and Ant could be made OSGi friendly. -have manifest information that can be used for both setting up the classpaths at compile, and for making OSGi manifests -at compile time, you only want the service interfaces -tasks to do the packaging, create the metadata in the manifests -A new ant resource, say, <osgipath> that sets up classloaders right -an osgi-aware version of <java> that runs OSGi apps by setting things up right. just some thoughts; we may discuss this at apachecon in may, if you are going to be in Amsterdam -steve

How can I change the Page Title?Asked by scaehungary on January 16, 2017 at 04:39 AM
Dear Developers,
If I clone a form the label of the page is not changed however the form name is changed.
It still shows the older form name on the label(or tab) of the web page.
Is there any special field where it can be change or it should updated automatically based on the form name?
Thanks for your support,

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding SettleMe Calming Support For Dogs, including answers from our team.Ask Your Own Question
Hi. My 11 month old puppy suffers from separation anxiety when I leave her in the day. Is it safe to use this long term until she calms down? Thanks.
Yes SettleMe chews are safe to use at the maintenance dose long term. You could also try an Adaptil diffuser to help her settle. Leaving the television or radio on can sometimes help as well. You may find some other useful tips on www.apbc.org.uk.
Did I miss something on the advert - what is the dosage for Settle Me?
There is a tab on the product page listed "Directions for use". If you click on there it will show the dosing guidelines. For the first 4-5 days it is recommended to double dose and then go down to a maintenance dose after that. So for a dog under 10kg it is 2 chews initially then 1 chew daily, 10-20kg dog is 4 chews then 2 chews, 20-30kg dog is 6 chews then 3 chews and over 30kgs is 8 chews then 4 chews daily.
Can you please how many of these little treats I should give to my border collie per day. she weighs about 22 kgs.
A loading dose is recommended for the first 4-5 days so your dog would intially need 6 chews a day reducing to 3 chews a day at the maintenance dose.

Marki is a prehistoric settlement in central Cyprus. Excavations were carried out at the site between 1990 and 2000 by David Frankel and Jennifer Webb. These showed that it was occupied from the earliest (Philia) phase of the Early Bronze Age (about 2400 BCE) until well into the Middle Bronze Age. It is the most extensively excavated site of the period, and the only one with a long sequence of occupation
The household compounds consisted of rectilinear buildings constructed using rectangular mould-made mud-bricks set on substantial stone foundations with associated open courtyards. There were changes in the size and structure of houses and the layout of the village as a whole. In the earlier periods buildings were less complex, with fewer interconnected rooms. Later houses commonly had three or more rooms. Especially in the later buildings there was a strong continuity of orientation and alignment of walls, some of which were retained in use through several building episodes, while others were entirely removed.
The settlement began as a very small village which gradually expanded as the population increased from a founding group of 40 or 50 people in about 2400 BCE to some 400 inhabitants some 400 years later in Middle Cypriot I.
Marki was primarily an agricultural village. The archaeologists found large quantities of animal bones. A little over half were from sheep and goats, with cattle, deer and pig and donkeys making up most of the remainder. The sheep and goats were probably kept primarily for meat rather than milk and wool. Cattle were at least as important as sheep and goats, proving more meat and milk, as well as having other uses, such as pulling ploughs. Only small quantities of seeds survive, sufficient to indicate a broad agricultural base, with fruits, such as grapes, olives and figs, nuts and legumes, and with wheat and barley as staple cereals.

How can I access the custom CSS tab?Asked by jvanpolysol on August 29, 2016 at 12:46 AM
Is anyone else having issues accessing the custom CSS tab?
From form designer, when no field is selected, click "Design".
This used to be three distinct tabs, and now it's just blue text.
For good measure, I cleared my cache + cookies, disabled various extensions and even switched to Firefox to test. This is happening on more than one form, I should add.
Using Chrome 52 on Windows 10.
Any thoughts/ideas? Is there any other way I can edit the CSS of the entire form?
The new Advanced form Designer tool is recently launched, and not available for all the users. So I would suggest you to inject or edit custom css code, according to the below steps:
1. While editing the form into the form builder, click Preferences from the toolbar
2. In the Preferences window, go to Form Styles > Custom CSS tab and then insert your CSS Code under Inject Custom CSS Box.
3. Click the "Save Changes" button to save your form.

This is my all-time favorite movie. I've probably watched it 300 times
and I can recite it line by line. I once wrote the script during the
course of one semester in a class I hated. I still have the notebook.
Demi Moore definitely is the film's weakest link, but the acting is superb and Aaron Sorkin's story sucks you in from the opening minute. There is so much great dialogue, headlined by Tom Cruise's courtroom battle with Jack Nicholson at the movie's climax.
Too many people say the movie is average because it's "too slow," but I really believe anyone who appreciates good acting and good stories has to put this one near the top of their list.
In one of the most telling scenes in this movie, Navy Lieutenant Commander
Jo Galloway (Demi Moore), a lawyer who is helping to defend two Marines on
trial for murder, is asked why she likes these guys so much. And she
replies, `Because they stand on a wall, and they say nothing is going to
hurt you tonight, not on my watch'.' Which veritably sums up the sense of
duty and honor which underscores the conflict of `A Few Good Men,' directed
by Rob Reiner, and starring Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise. There is a code
by which a good Marine must live and die, and it is: Unit, Corps, God,
Country. But to be valid, that code must also include truth and justice;
and if they are not present, can the code stand? Which is the question
asked by director Reiner, who examines the parameters of that code with this
film, which centers on the murder of a young Private First Class named
William Santiago, who was killed while stationed at the Marine Corps base at
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The case draws the attention of Commander Galloway,
Special Counsel for Internal Affairs in the Judge Advocate General's Corps
in Washington, D.C. Galloway, taking into consideration the impeccable
service records of the two Marines charged with the crime, convinces her
superiors that a thorough investigation is warranted in this case, though
there are those in high places who would rather see this one plea bargained
and put to rest.
Galloway persists, however, believing that Santiago's death may have resulted from a `Code Red,' a method of disciplinary hazing employed in certain circles of the Corps, though illegal. And if this was a Code Red, the real question is, who gave the order? Ultimately, her tenacity prevails, but though Galloway is a seasoned lawyer, she has little actual courtroom experience, so Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee (Cruise) is assigned to the case, along with Lieutenant Sam Weinberg (Kevin Pollak), with Galloway, as ranking officer, to assist. Kaffee, the son of a legendary lawyer, has skated through the first nine months of his Naval career, successfully plea bargaining forty-four cases. Outwardly upbeat and personable, Kaffee seems more concerned with his softball game than he does with the time he has to spend on the job. But underneath, he's coping with living his life in the shadow of his late father's reputation, which is an issue with which he must come to terms if he is to successfully effect the outcome of this case. And on this one he will have a formidable opponent: Colonel Nathan R. Jessup (Nicholson), who commands the base at Guantanamo.
As Jessup, Nicholson gives a commanding performance, and once he enters the film you can sense the tension he brings to it, which begins to swell immediately, and which Reiner does a great job of maintaining right up to the end. Jessup is a soldier of the old guard, a man of narrow vision and a particular sense of duty; to Jessup there's two ways of doing things: His way and the wrong way. He's a man who-- as he says-- eats breakfast three hundred yards away from the enemy, and he's not about to let a couple of lawyers in dress whites intimidate him. And that's exactly the attitude Nicholson brings to this role. When he speaks, you not only hear him loud and clear, you believe him. It's a powerful performance and, as you would expect from Nicholson, entirely convincing and believable.
Cruise, also, gives what is arguably one of the best performances of his career as Kaffee. He perfectly captures the aloofness with which Kaffee initially regards the case, as well as the determination with which he pursues it later. Cruise is convincing in the role, and some of the best scenes in the film are the ones he plays opposite Nicholson in the courtroom, the most memorable being one in which Kaffee exclaims to Jessup, `I want the truth!' to which Jessup replies, `You can't handle the truth!' And the atmosphere fairly crackles.
Moore is outstanding, as well, and she manages to hold her own and make her presence felt even in the scenes dominated by Nicholson and Cruise. It's a fine piece of acting by Moore, who deserves more than just a passing mention for it. Also turning in notable performances are Pollak, whose dry humor adds such an extra touch to the film, and Wolfgang Bodison, who makes an impressive screen debut as Lance Corporal Dawson, on of the Marines on trial for the murder of Santiago.
The supporting cast includes Kiefer Sutherland (Kendrick), Kevin Bacon (Ross), James Marshall (Downey), J.T. Walsh (Markinson), Cuba Gooding Jr. (Hammaker) and Christopher Guest (Dr. Stone). A powerful drama, superbly delivered by Reiner, `A Few Good Men' is a thought provoking, unforgettable motion picture that makes you take pause for a moment to consider some things that are for the most part out of sight and out of mind. Like who is on that wall tonight, and are we safe because of him. And it makes you reflect upon some things perhaps too often taken for granted. And that's what really makes this film so good; and it's all a part of the magic of the movies. I rate this one 10/10.
Guantanamo Bay is, apart possibly from the 38th Parallel in Korea, the
only place left on earth where the US Military still confronts hostile
Stalinism, eyeball to eyeball. Ceded to the USA after the Spanish-American
War of 1898, Guantanamo is America's only outpost on the island of Cuba.
Marines guarding the perimeter of the naval base are under immense pressure.
Here in the Cold War's last remaining hotspot, they are responsible for
protecting the Free World.
A border incident has occurred. A marine sentry has fired a 'live' round in the direction of the communists. One of his colleagues has informed on him, bringing on himself a 'code red'. The 'code red' is an unofficial disciplinary measure, imposed by a marine squad when a member offends against the unit's esprit de corps. Having been gagged, bound and beaten, the marine dies at his colleagues' hands. There will now be a court-martial.
Demi Moore plays Lieutenant-Commander Joanne Galloway, a lawyer in the Navy's Internal Affairs Department. A deft plot device has her rehearsing to herself a request to be assigned to the case as she walks across the parade ground, efficiently conveying necessary information to the viewer.
Dan Kaffee (Tom Cruise) is a smart, flippant, good-looking young Navy lawyer. His father was a renowned jurist, and Dan feels the burden of his father's reputation. Indeed, his casual, tongue-in-cheek attitude to the law is his way of avoiding comparison with his father. You can't fail if you don't even try.
Kaffee is assigned to defend the two marine privates accused of killing the informer. Why a junior officer should be given conduct of such a serious case is baffling, unless of course the Marine Corps wants these men to be found guilty, in order to protect somebody more important...
Colonel Nathan Jessep is fascinating. Jack Nicholson always turns in a magnetic performance, but this one is special. He makes his character by turns urbane, self-assured, sarcastic, professional and menacing.
Gradually, Demi and Tom start to pull together and to function as a defence team. The 'code red' doctrine is exposed as a pernicious practice.
If the film is a stock courtroom drama pretty much like all the others, it certainly has qualities which set it apart. Three outstanding performances from the stars, Nicholson, Cruise and Moore, make it a bit special. The denouement is very hard to believe, but there are things in the film which linger in the memory and compensate for the exaggerations of the plot.
The opening credits roll over lovingly-filmed images of a precision-drill rifle squad in action. The viewer is, from the very start, placed emotionally in the context of a severe, inflexible discipline which is both admirable and unnerving. Kaffee indulges in some sparkling legal jockeying. Though he may lack trial experience, we feel that he will defend these men ably. He is nobody's fool. The flirtatious bickering between Kaffee and Galloway is well done. Jessep's walk to the witness stand is a moment of high drama, with Nicholson filmed from a low angle, emphasising the formidable authority of the man.
This clever, highly-polished film finally convinced me that Cruise can act. As for Demi, I am still unable to figure her out. What is it about her that remains stubbornly unsympathetic? She has abundant intelligence and talent, and is exquisitely beautiful, and yet is is impossible to warm to her. Does she get these parts because of her dark personality, or do the roles colour our perception of her?
A good film is what A Few Good Men is. It is not perfect but especially the
performances take this film to a higher level. Tom Cruise and Demi Moore as
the 'good guys' are good, as is Kevin Bacon. But the 'bad guys' make this
movie really good. Kiefer Sutherland and most of all Jack Nicholson are
The story is interesting and well told. We all know the truth from the beginning, or we think we do, but the movie is still exciting in its own way.
I liked this movie very much, it was never boring, and I was real pleased that some of the cliches you normally see in a movie like this one were left out. If you like a good story, good directing and perfect performances this is your movie. 9/10.
A young hotshot naval lawyer (Cruise) is given what seems to be an open
and shut case of two marines murdering another while he slept. Cruise,
who has a reputation for plea bargaining was assigned by division, to
defend the accused. Could it be so it never sees the inside of a
Over seeing the defence of the accused is Demi Moore, from internal affairs, who is renowned for her attention to detail. She believes their innocence and suspects a cover up.
In charge of the marine unit in question is Jack Nicholson, a hard-ass marine who commands respect and demands the best.
With outstanding performances from Jack Nicholson, Tom Cruise, and Yes Demi Moore as well. The plot develops, and the conspiracy surrounding the case becomes apparent. And its up to Cruise to lay his career on the line to find the truth.
This movie is a powerful drama, and is fantastically well made.
I love it 10/10
Starring: Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore This movie is for
people who like lawyerly stuff and military type stuff. This movie is
an episode of Jag on crack. This movie was made by Rob Reiner. Really,
after that last statement, need I say more? If you didn't know that Rob
Reiner did The Princess Bride, then hang your head in shame now.
It starts out in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, when a couple marines enter the room of another marine, stuff a rag down his throat, duct tape his mouth shut, duct tape his hands behind his back, duct tape his legs together, and so on. Then the credits roll and we cut to D.C., where we find out that the marine getting gagged and tied died that night. The two marines that were doing the gagging and tying are charged with murder and flown out to D.C.
The task of lead counsel is assigned to Daniel Kaffee (Cruise), a lieutenant junior grade with a track record for plea bargaining and smooth talking. Lt. Cmdr. Jo Galloway (Moore) is assigned to be co-counsel, despite the fact that she tried to get in as lead counsel. They start the investigation down in Cuba where they meet Col. Nathan Jessup (Nicholson), the man who ordered the two men to give Private Santiago the Code Red, which accidentally led to his death. Of course, Jessup doesn't tell this to Danny or Jo. Why would he? He'd look pretty bad for it, right? So when they get back to D.C. and do some legal maneuvering with their clients and the prosecution, Danny manages to get a deal for a mere two years of prison time, where they are actually home in six months. And the two that are charged turn it down on principle, because they still believe they have done nothing wrong. Danny decides that he wants to get a different lawyer assigned to the case because he doesn't want to go down with them, but then has a change of heart after talking to a few people and thinking about it.
So the trial starts, and that's when the movie really picks up speed. The skill that Danny has as he strides around the courtroom asking all the right questions and probing in just the right ways is phenomenal. It almost makes you want to be a lawyer.
There are some major setbacks along the way, some things go right, a lot more go wrong, but eventually everything turns out okay in the end. But like so many movies where we know how it's going to end, it was never really the ending we were banking on, but the fun of getting there.
Bottom Line: 4 out of 4 (own this movie)
this movie kicks. it's one of my favorites. i like courtroom drama, and in my opinion, this is the best courtroom movie ever. i love the part when tom cruise, during his redirect, asks noah wyle how he knows where the mess hall is if it isn't in the marine guidebooks. is that a great scene or what? and of course the climax, when cruise has JACK on the stand, is exhilarating to watch, even after repeated viewings. nichalson may be slightly over the top as colonel jessup, but that's why he's so good in this movie. kieffer sutherland is perfect as kendrick. and of course i have to mention jt walsh as markinson, just because i think walsh was a great character actor, and he'll always be one of my favorites. my score-10.
This is one of the movies, I have watched many many times. First few
times, Tom Cruise seemed to be giving an ordinary performance; probably
my shortcoming that I was not able to understand his character. But,
then I realized that he was playing exactly the character he was
supposed to portray and he did it in a impeccable manner - wow!!!! He
was just second to Jack Nicholson.
I could not imagine if anyone else could have replaced Jack Nicholson - his stellar performance (as always) and the intensity and ferocity with which he delivered his dialogues - man, even his facial expressions at times were worth a watch.
Story line and plot don't seem to be so strong and there will be many people who would not agree with its end and even with the message of the movie, which is although not so clear but definitely points towards some of the not so best practices being followed in any country's army (over discipline in the name of straightening the people and getting things in order or even avoiding any further chaos or things being run by certain people just to settle their personal scores and run in a way they think is the best, even disregarding other people's reasonable opinions). However, the other things apart, movie was a treat to watch. Director Rob Reiner and writer Aaron Sorkin didn't leave any stone unturned when it came to dialogues in the movie - in fact, the dialogues delivered by each and every character (not only Jack Nicholson) have been simply stunning.
I'm not the greatest fan of Tom Cruise, yet A Few Good Men along with
Jerry McGuire would have to rank as one of his best performances. Owing
to a transition from stage to celluloid, the movie has the intimacy of
drama written all over it.
The emphasis on facial expression, the length of dialog and the sheer drama make the watching of the movie a unique experience. The writer doesn't cater for the unenlightened, doesn't drawl over or repeat facts. Afterall, it is the experience of watching A Few Good Men that is a winner over and above all else.
Demi Moore is gorgeous alluring and vulnerable all at once. Worth a watch and perhaps another.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Many powerful dramas have been made throughout the history of motion
pictures. This is one of few to combine intense meaningful drama with a
funny script, full of witty dialog. The ensemble of nothing but renowned
competent actors ensures excellent performances throughout the movie. This
would have been an almost perfect film if it wasn't for one little
consistency issue regarding Colonel Jessep. Until the very end of the
the script portrays the events from Jessep's point of view with gruesome
accuracy, but after his confession he becomes a man with no apparent sense
of causal relations. The fact that the man who formerly went to such
extremes as to make entire flights disappear to protect his secret,
understand the consequences of him confessing that secret, in the court of
law, makes me confused. Of course you could argue that the colonel lives
the rules and notions of the Marine Corps and doesn't fully comprehend the
world outside. I still don't accept it completely though, but that doesn't
matter much overall. This is an excellent film. Watch it, watch it again
then re-watch it. You won't be disappointed.

In this section:
Key Staff
Director of FLaG
Professor Sarah Irwin (School of Sociology & Social Policy)
I am interested in family life, parenting, youth transitions, educational pathways, and socio-economic inequalities. I have recently completed a mixed methods and qualitative longitudinal research project into parenting and family life, with a particular focus on parents' values and practices as their children grew up through their teenage years. I have a longstanding interest in transitions from youth to adulthood, and am developing research into pathways through technical and vocational education and training. I am developing international comparative research work in areas relating to youth, transition and socio-economic inequalities. I have also published work on subjective experiences, and perceptions, of inequality. I have previously been Director of the ESRC Timescapes Secondary Analysis Project, and Deputy Director of Real Life Methods, part of the National Centre for Research Methods. See my profile on the School website for further details, including a list of my recent publications.
FLaG co-directors
Dr Kahryn Hughes (School of Sociology & Social Policy)
Most of my time is spent in research, and I have been funded by the ESRC for the past eleven years in research primarily aimed at methods innovation and development. My current research interests are related to three overlapping areas: the sociology of health inequalities; sociological theory; and research methodology. More specifically, I am interested in: addiction, poverty, time, relationality and identity.
Professor Pia Christensen (School of Education)
My research focuses on children and young people's agency in everyday life through the lens of ethnography. I have worked with children aged 3-18 years old in families, day-care settings, schools and local communities in England and Denmark. My main research has investigated different aspects of children and young people's everyday experiences including health, well-being and self-care; time and transitions; the meaning of food; risk engagement and management.
Dr Sharon Elley (School of Sociology & Social Policy)
My research broadly falls under the sociology of education, critical youth studies and widening participation to education. I combine previous professional experience as a youth worker with my academic interests in researching inequalities associated with formal and informal education, young people and their families. I have worked with children, young people and parents in schools, higher education and local communities. My research has investigated young people's everyday lived experiences of sex and relationship education; parents' experiences, motivations and aspirations around parenting, family-life and education; youth transitions and imagined futures.

Research Fellows
Dr Anna Tarrant, Leverhume Research Fellow
I am a Leverhulme Early Career Research Fellow in the School of Sociology and Social Policy. The project, which is funded for three and half years, is entitled "Men's experiences of family life and multiple care responsibilities in low-income localities". The study will explore the impact of economic insecurity on the everyday care practices of men (including fathers and grandfathers) and the extent to which socio-cultural and historical factors influence the practical, moral and ethical decisions that they make in relation to providing care in contexts of constraint.
Prior to the Leverhulme award I have worked on a number of research projects that have developed my research expertise in men and masculinities, grandparenting, and informal care and family practices. As a project member of the ESRC funded 'Beyond Male Role Models' project, I have interviewed young men and staff in different welfare settings, examining the part played by gender in their relationships. I was also a researcher for an urban regeneration project in a low-income community in Milton Keynes, exploring the impact of a housing scheme on residents' health and for an evaluation of an advice and advocacy service that supports family and kin carers who are raising children when their parents are unable to care for them.
This research built on expertise gained during a three year PhD project that examined the geographies of contemporary grandfathering. Findings based on in-depth interviews with grandfathers in families where care arrangements were informally organised, indicate that the association of care with women impacts on how and where men grandfather and consequently how men construct their identities.

PhD Students
PhD students belong to a flourishing and extensive PhD community with access to a variety of resources through their departments, the University of Leeds and the White Rose Doctoral Training Centre. Below we list some of the students linked to FLaG to give a flavour of the kinds of PhD projects being undertaken.
Helen Williams
My research examines the intersections between school based sex education, popular culture and new digital technologies. Focusing on young people's perspectives, I am principally interested in what and how young people in contemporary Britain learn and communicate about sex. I also examine how young people negotiate the "sexualisation" of modern culture and how this affects the development of their own sexual identity. I aim to use my research to make recommendations for the improvement of sex and relationship education in school taking into account the changing cultural landscape.
For further information please see: http://www.gender-studies.leeds.ac.uk/research/current-research-students/williams.php
Joy Walker
My research interests include: Evaluation of health programmes; parent & family health education; sexual health & teenage pregnancy, (in)fertility, kinship, origins and reproductive technology, adult -child interaction, generation exchange, Qualitative methodologies including qualitative longitudinal methodology. These research interests have inspired my proposed part-time PhD study drawing on a qualitative longitudinal perspective to explore how emergent thinking about infertility, in contexts where infertility is managed, shapes peoples' understanding of infertility, continuity and change, and subsequently how these are lived and given meaning within intergenerational relationships.
My student page is here: http://www.sociology.leeds.ac.uk/people/students/joy-walker
Julian Bowers-Brown
My PhD, to start in 2014, will explore the making and remaking of ideas about responsible parenting. Through case studies of past and contemporary debates and programmes surrounding the parent/parental role I hope to better understand the formation of parental knowledge and how parental subjectivities are constituted. Likely case studies include ideas of 'feckless mothering,' child welfare and the 'Mothercraft' programme in the 19th century and contemporary debates and programmes that centre on children's readiness (or lack of it) for school.
Linzi Ladlow
My research project, Housing Young Parents: A Micro-Dynamic Study of the Housing Experiences and Support Needs of Teenage Mothers and Fathers,is an ESRC Collaborative Award studying the housing support needs and experiences of young parents. Working with a local housing charity, I am interested in exploring the housing pathways of disadvantaged young parents and how they develop parental identities and practices.
My research is affiliated with the ESRC Following Young Fathers Study, my profile can be found here: http://followingfathers.leeds.ac.uk/people/
Lynley Aldridge
My research focuses on the overseas gap year/ working holiday from a cross-cultural comparative perspective. In particular, I am interested in exploring what motivates graduates from Britain and Japan to undertake overseas working holidays, and what graduates, employers/ recruiters and other informants see as the perceived consequences of such overseas gap years and working holidays.
My student page is at the following link:
Ruth Patrick
My research explores the lived experiences of welfare reform, and I am particularly interested in how welfare reform impacts on the social citizenship of out-of-work benefit claimants and their in/exclusion from mainstream society. Taking a qualitative longitudinal approach, my doctoral study has involved talking to a small group of claimants as they experienced and responded to a range of welfare reforms between 2011 & 2013. I have employed aspects of participatory research; with a sub-group of participants (the 'Dole Animators') making an animated documentary about the study's key findings.

Celtic Christianity: the form of Christian faith that flourished among the people of Ireland during the Middle Ages has gained a great deal of attention lately. George G. Hunter III points out that, while the attention paid to the Celtic Christians is well deserved, much of it fails to recognize the true genius of this ancient form of Christianity. What many contemporary Christians do not realize is that Celtic Christianity was one of the most successfully evangelistic branches of the church in history. The Celtic church converted Ireland from paganism to Christianity in a remarkably short period, and then proceeded to send missionaries throughout Europe. North America is today in the same situation as the environment in which the early Celtic preachers found their mission fields: unfamiliar with the Christian message, yet spiritually seeking, and open to a vibrant new faith. If we are to spread the gospel in this culture of secular seekers, we would do well to learn from the Celts. Their ability to work with the beliefs of those they evangelized, to adapt worship and church life to the indigenous patterns they encountered, remains unparalleled in Christian history. If we are to succeed in reaching the West . . . again,then we must begin by learning from these powerful witnesses to the saving love of Jesus Christ.

Classical music's calming powers
High blood pressure? It's time to tune into some classical music, says new research.
Cardiologists at Oxford University have found that the tempo of classical orchestral pieces are in sync with the body's own rhythm and worked to lower listeners' blood pressure. But if you're a fan of something a little more upbeat beware, as this type of music can actually increase pulse and blood pressure.
A group of participants were played different music styles, and their cardiovascular response, including blood pressure and pulse, were examined.
Music from Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi, Beethoven's 9th Symphony and Indian sitar music were effective at lowering blood pressure, which researchers say could prove a powerful therapeutic tool.
More up-tempo pieces did not have the same impact.
Lead author Professor Peter Sleight presented the findings at the British Cardiovascular Society, explaining that blood pressure in humans rises and falls roughly every ten seconds. He noted that composers such as Verdi were able to replicate this in their music.
"Verdi may well have been a physiologist – he hit on this ten-second rhythm in blood pressure and you can see it in his music. You also see it in the Ave Maria – which any Catholic could recite by heart," Professor Sleight said.
"Music is already being used commercially as a calming therapy but this has happened independent of controlled studies into its effectiveness.
"Our research has provided improved understanding as to how music, particularly certain rhythms, can affect your heart and blood vessels. But further robust studies are needed, which could reduce scepticism of the real therapeutic role of music."
A separate study also recently found that listening to music improved both short-term and long-term memory in people with dementia.
Helen Odell-Miller, professor of music therapy at Anglia Ruskin University, found that many dementia patients who had heard a live performance by a singer then listened to the artist's songs and other pieces on MP3 players were able to recall where they were, the time of day and people's names. Memory of recent events was also boosted.

The Syro-hexaplar version (also Syro-hexapla) is the Syriac translation of the Septuagint, as revised by Origen of Alexandria in his Hexapla.
This version is important for the study of the Septuagint, for it often includes the symbols Origen used to mark the differences he observed between the Septuagint text and the Hebrew text.
Being a direct version from the Greek into Syriac, it must be distinguished from the Peshitta, which is a Syriac translation directly from the Hebrew.

But behind the Republicans' embarrassing grandstanding and the critical labels
was a point to ponder. Calling corporate executives who are under criminal
investigation to a meeting with chief law enforcement officers who will decide
whether to press for indicting them present, along with the chief executive who
holds clemency power over all federal criminals, and pressing them to put up
billions of dollars of prospective unadjudicated damages should raise questions
to people who respect the due processes of civil and criminal law enforcement.
One need not be sympathetic to BP — I'm certainly not — to question such a
high-level legal powwow. How did BP's lawyers allow this to happen? Should
their lawyers have participated in this quick "settlement"? How did government
lawyers permit this? According to The Wall Street Journal, the White House counsel involved in negotiations
criticized BP lawyers for "lawyering." Doesn't the unorthodox procedure raise
serious questions about BP's future responsibilities for its horrific
misconduct? Will people who participate in these damages be precluded from
future claims?
President Obama's actions were, at once, too strong and not strong enough. He needed some Harry Truman attitude. Conditions are so extraordinary that some form of government takeover and management of BP's cleanup, under a court injunctive order, to allow coordinating all efforts and assets would be more effective. The attorney general should have privately assembled top officials in the departments of Justice and Interior, along with experts recruited from the private sector, to create a one-time task force to use all available laws and regulations to coordinate ending the leak and developing all appropriate redress — civil and criminal — to cope with the losses — including short-term emergency losses — occasioned by BP's misconduct.
Professor Robert Reich, former secretary of Labor in the Clinton administration, suggests — as one example — that the government move to put BP under a temporary receivership to manage the cleanup. BP's duty is to its stockholders; the government's is to the public. The strategy and management of it, under such a notion, would be the government's; the costs and manpower would be BP's, Reich posits.
The study commissions should come later. Real action is called for now. Taking charge of the necessary remedial, corrective and punitive action is what still is required.
Ronald Goldfarb, a Washington attorney and author, worked in the Department of Justice in the Kennedy administration, and was on the task force that created the Office of Economic Opportunity.

Office attraction. I think he is interested and I am too. He's tried to ask me out about 3 times and I have about twice. Each time we tried to ask each other out something got in the way like we were unavailable or I said something that made him decide not to ask me... e. g. last time he was about to ask me out to this concert and just before he did I said something silly like 'jazz is not really my cup of tea'. And it made him change his mind :( :( :( (I know I know)
So I bought these tickets to this concert that I really want to go see. I think he would be interested too. I was thinking of saying to him: "hey I've bought these tickets to see _______ and my friends aren't really keen on coming with me. Would you like to go with me?"
I want to make it seem more casual which is why I put in the 'friends aren't keen on it' thing. With all that's gone on it does seem like he doesn't want to be cornered into a date or something. I'm confused... as you can see! Any thoughts appreciated :)
- Say "hey I've bought these tickets to see this concert and my friends aren't really keen on coming with me. Would you like to go with me?"Vote A
- Don't ask him and just wait for him to make the next move.Vote B
Most Helpful Guy
Sure why not I like the idea I voted A00|00|0
this is the complication. he's divorced but not 100% ready to date yet I think. I asked him out once to a party (the last time) and he turned me down. So I don't want to be putting myself out there again... or I'm just worried I'll get shot down. I think he doesn't want it to be a 'date date' ?
- Show AllShow Less
Ok well since you both already asked each other out already Its no longer about pride. You ask him out to something very simple, tell him lets get lunch or dinner sometime and just tell him what days you have off and what's a good time for you. Its best for you and tell him what days you have off leaving the ball in his court to make the move. Try not to be so picky next time about things you don't like, guys don't really think about oh she does not like Jazz, they take it as an excuse the female is making to get out of it when everything is new at first. The whole Idea is to get together and get the ball rolling
Thanks :) yeah i think i might ask him. I have to prepare myself for a 'no' but I'm a big girl I can take it.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I signed a 202 day employment contract with a School District and agreed to a change in payroll to compensate for the oveerlap between my old and new contrcts. The district followed through with the compensation plan, but two days after the new contract should have begun I was told that I would be transfered to a different position that only worked a 187 day term. The district refuses to pay the the additional compensation for the 15 das that I would have been paid on the contract that I signed, because during the transition from one superintedent to another, the contract was never signed by the superintrendent. Does the fact that the district still took action, through payroll, based on an agreement related to the contract, obligate them to continue with the other financial agreements?
Maybe. Contracts can be oral, written or "implied in fact," meaning by the parties' conduct. You seem to be describing an implied in fact situation, based on the change in payroll.
The issue of the school being obligated to honor your original contract, whether signed or not, depends on what its language says, and no lawyer on Avvo or otherwise can guess what that is without reviewing it. If the school had the right to transfer you to a different position, then the action of changing payroll is less important than their subsequent exercise of their right to transfer you.
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU COMMENT, EMAIL ME OR PHONE ME. I'm only licensed in CA. This answer doesn't make me your lawyer, and neither do follow-up comments and/or emails and/or phone calls, and you shouldn't expect me to respond to your further questions if you haven't hired me. We need an actual agreement confirmed in writing before any attorney-client relationship is formed. This answer doesn't constitute legal advice, and shouldn't be relied on, since each state has different laws, each situation is fact specific, and it is impossible to evaluate a legal problem without a comprehensive consultation and review of all the facts and documents at issue.Ask a similar question
Contracts with a Texas public school district have to be written and duly signed to be enforceable under Texas law. Texas law will not enforce an oral contract with a school district, as it is a governmental entity with sovereign immunity.
If the contract as signed by the district calls for 202 days, you should be paid for 202 days, particularly if you worked 202 days. If you only worked 187 days, the answer may be different. I recommend that you check with your local teacher's organization to see if other teachers have been similarly shorted, and have the teacher's organization go to bat for you. Keep in mind that Texas is an at will employment state, which means that the district can lay you off at the end of your contract for any reason or no reason at all, just not an illegal reason. (Retaliation under the right circumstances may be an illegal reason.)
Good luck.
