It sucks being with Grandpa in this new town. It sucks that they left the old place without finding Rosco. Travis doesn't want to do anything, especially try to get by in his classes, which never seems possible, anyway. He's a Bluefish - stupid, angry, alone.
Then, suddenly, there's a girl. Velveeta. She's up in his face and she's not backing down. She is as loud as he is quiet, as outgoing as he is shut in. She's pretty, in a funky, scarf-wearing sort of way, and she's smart - way smart - smart enough to figure out that Travis has a secret. And she should know. She has a few of her own. She's not sure what's up with him, but she's determined to find out. So is McQueen, the teacher who might just be the one to unleash something in Travis that has been held back for a very long time.
With a cast of utterly believable characters, Pat Schmatz has crafted a story rich in moments of trust and connection, told with humor, heartbreak, and fearless honesty.

LG G5 launch LIVE: Is this unique new smartphone bonkers or brilliant?
LG UNVEILS its new LG G5 smartphone which includes an always-on display, dual cameras and interchangeable accessories.
LG have never been scared to try something new.
The Korean firm has tinkered with buttons on the back, stiched leather covers and has even attempted to revive the flip phone.
Now they are trying something completely original with the launch of the LG G5.
The firm has just unveiled the new device at a major event in Barcelona and if you fancy something different this could be the phone for you.
Never go asleep while others do.LG G5, Always ON.#LG #LGG5 #G5Posted by LG Mobile on Tuesday, February 9, 2016
Firstly, LG has ditched it's previous plastic and leather cases and opted for a sleek all-metal aluminium, uni-body construction.
And this new design has some neat tricks up its sleeve as the new modular design will also come with its own ecosystem of companion products.
These are added by simply slotting them into the removable base on the bottom on the phone.
LG has confirmed the first two accessories which include:
CAM Plus: This mini snapper can be attached through the battery slot to "deliver a comfortable grip and convenient control of a DSLR."
The LG CAM Plus offers auto focus, exposure lock, and provides physical buttons for power, shutter, record, and zoom.
It also gives the G5 additional battery capacity of 1,200mAh.
Hi-Fi Plus with B&O Play: This portable Hi-Fi audio player developed in collaboration with B&O Play supports 32-bit, 384KHz high-definition audio playback.
It can be used as a module with the LG G5 or even as a separate Hi-Fi digital audio chip (DAC) that connects to any smartphone or PC.
More accesoories are thought to be arriving in the coming months although LG is yet to reveal more.
As well as the new design the flagship also boasts a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, a 5.3-inch Quad HD IPS Quantum display, and dual cameras on the rear: a standard angle 16MP lens, and a 135-degree wide angle lens, the widest available on any smartphone.
Other specifications include a USB Type-C charging port, a weight of 159g and it will be available in four colors: Silver, Titan, Gold, and Pink.
Alongside the new smartphone, LG is launching a range of accessories.
Dubbed LG Friends, these approved third-party accessories will enhance the LG G5 with a range of new capabilities – including a virtual reality robot and high resolution B&O Play speaker. There is even a dedicated pair of Bang & Olufsen headphones that ship as part of the LG Friends pack, too.
LG 360 Cam is another Friend available at launch. It syncs with the smartphone and brings a 360-degree camera, which can then be viewed on the LG G5.
Like Samsung before it, LG has decided to launch a Virtual Reality headset alongside the LG G5.
LG's lightweight VR headset looks more like a pair on glasses when compared to rival's over-bearing goggles. VR films, games and apps will also run through the new headset, which connects to the smartphone via the USB Type-C connector.
But the strangest addition to the LG Friends line-up has to be the LG Rolling Bot – a small droid that roams your home like a miniature security guard. Aside from the home security aspects, LG also claims the Rolling Bot works well as a pet monitor.
The South Korean firm has even included a small laser, so you can remotely play with your feline friend via the Rolling Bot.
Action cameras and more accessories are on the way, LG teased the audience at Mobile World Congress, in Barcelona.
"The new LG G5 will encourage owners to rediscover the true joy of a mobile life," said Juno Cho, president and CEO of LG Electronics.
"The G5 and LG Friends are the result of many experts inside LG asking themselves if it was still possible to be innovative and unique in the smartphone space.
"I think once customers spend a little time with the LG G5, their answer will be a resounding yes."
Consumers will be able to pre-order the LG G5 from EE on March 17th with an exclusive pre-order offer to be announced nearer the time.
EE has also confirmed the G5 will be available with WiFi Calling and 4G Calling on EE's superfast 4GEE network.

Scripts & Books
"When I first played Ted it changed my life. I tapped into something in myself I hadn't really seen. There's a lot of joy in that guy. Playing him for three months, every day for fifteen hours - it's like having the experience of a best friend, how you change when you hang out with that best friend, how you start sounding like him." – Keanu Reeves
I am in the process of searching out scripts of Keanu films, and they'll appear on this page as I find and upload them. If you know of a script that is not on this list, it would be great if you could e-mail it to me, either as a link or an attachment to admin(at)whoaisnotme.net, along with its details - draft number, authors, year written - unless the info is on the script itself.
Not all final drafts or shooting scripts are exactly the same as what finally appeared on screen. Sometimes lines were ad libbed or scenes cut from the final film. Any confirmations would be appreciated.
The transcripts appear to be fairly accurate, but most of them were typed by people while watching the films and as such may be prone to the occasional typo error or misspelling.

Tracy opts not to weigh in on Petco changes
Tracy opts not to weigh in on Petco changes
SAN DIEGO -- Petco Park favors pitchers to an extreme, even to the point that Padres hitters become frustrated, and it's tough to attract hitters via free agency. There has even been talk about moving the outfield fences closer to home plate. The Rockies, of course, play in such a hitter-friendly environment that the club began storing baseballs in a temperature- and atmosphere-controlled chamber, so they don't shrink and harden in the high desert climate. That has helped normalize the park to a degree. But Rockies manager Jim Tracy refused to weigh in on any ideas for normalizing Petco by reducing the home run distance. Besides, his hands are full trying to help the Rockies even out their home and road hitting, which has been a problem throughout the history of the franchise.
"You go from here to Dodger Stadium, what's the difference?" Tracy said. "Is it a smaller ballpark? It plays very similar. From there, we're going to play a couple games in [San Francisco's] AT&T Park. You see any difference there? It's the same baseball. "Rather than me weighing in on what an organization should do with their fences, it's more us being mindful that there are some adjustments we have to make collectively as far as our approach is concerned, or it's going to be a frustrating thing coming out on the road."

There was a time in my life when I would have a garage sale every few months to make extra money for my family. This was back when I had a toddler and a baby to take care of, as well as a fledgling business. To say the least, I had plenty on my plate. Over time, I learned some garage sale tips that make the process much easier for a frazzled mom.
For example, the biggest time saver I have used is pre-printed sales tags from an office supply store. These little sticky tags have $1, $5 and $10, as well as numerous values under a dollar, and a few blank ones for custom prices. Just stick an item and go. I love them because I'm always loosing my pen during the rush to get everything organized. I suspect the kiddos run off with it, but I don't have proof!
These stickers are great, but setting prices still makes me so nervous. I worry that it's too high and no one will buy it. But then, what if the price is too low and I'm not getting as much as I could? Baby items seem to be the hardest for me to price. My precious baby used that, after all! I've learned to imagine that you are at a yard sale looking at this item: What would you pay?
When I'm tired of pricing items and the kids are getting fussy, this is my I-just-don't-care-anymore solution. Take a lot of items that are the same price and throw everything into a box. Write on the box "Your Choice" and the price. This is also a good trick if you have limited table space.
Another trick for clearing up table space is stringing a rope from one tree to another to act as a quick place to hang clothing. Learn from my mistakes and make sure it is high enough the kids can't swing from it, though.
Speaking of kids, let your kids sell lemonade during the garage sale to keep them busy. If your child is too young to count out change for customers, suggest that people give a "donation" instead of a set price. My girls love to feel like they are little business women and they are so proud when they make a sale.
Even a lemonade stand can keep a kid's attention for so long. To keep the kids from melting down, only have your sale during prime time. Most sales hunters show up between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Once you're done, call your local charity and have them pick up what you didn't sale. I did this with my last sale and it felt so good to get rid of everything.
With these garage sale tips I have been able to get rid of clutter while raising money for my family. Even if you are a mom pressed for time, you can, too.
Do you have tips for making garage sales easier? Tell us below in the comments section!

Appealing an Eviction - What Rights Do I Have?
Authored By: Southeast Louisiana Legal Services (New Orleans office)
What If I Lose My Eviction Trial?
You have the right to appeal to a higher court.
Make sure you read the instructions for appealing an eviction judgment from the kind of court that ruled in your eviction case. The way you appeal can be different, depending on whether you were in a justice of the peace court, a city court or a parish court.
What Does An Appeal Do?
A "suspensive appeal" stops the eviction until the appeal is decided by the higher court. It can take several weeks to a year for the appeal to be decided. During this kind of appeal, you get to stay in your apartment.
You are not allowed to take a suspensive appeal unless you filed a written notarized (verified) answer to the eviction before the eviction trial. Your answer must have raised what is called an "affirmative defense."
To take a suspensive appeal, you must post an appeal bond within 24 hours of the court's eviction judgment.
If you can't take a "suspensive" appeal, you can still appeal. But this other kind of appeal won't stop the landlord from evicting you.
How Do I Appeal An Eviction?
To appeal, you must file a written appeal and an appeal bond within 24 hours of the eviction judgment. Where you file and what you file depends on which court first decided your case.
If you were evicted by a justice of the peace, your appeal is to the parish court or, if there is no parish court, to the district court. This is generally done by filing a law suit for "trial de novo" in the parish or district court. Sometimes this is called a "petition for suspensive appeal by trial de novo." The parish or district judge will hold a new trial, hear the evidence and legal argument, and decide whether you should be evicted. You may make new arguments and bring new evidence for the new trial.
If you were evicted by a city, parish, or district court, you must file a "Motion for Suspensive Appeal" with that court. The appeal will be based on the transcript of your trial and will be heard by a panel of three (3) judges of the court of appeal. You do not get a new trial with the court of appeal. But you must show that the lower court made a mistake about the law or a clear mistake about the facts. To do this, you must write a written brief explaining why the lower court's decision should be reversed.
How Much Does An Appeal Cost?
For any suspensive appeal, remember that you also have to post an appeal bond.
The other costs depend on which kind of court hears your appeal.
The cost to appeal a judgment from a justice of the peace court will be the filing fee of the parish or district court that hears the appeal. The fee can be hundreds of dollars, so be sure to call the clerk of court ahead of time to find out. You may also have to pay for subpoenas of witnesses.
An appeal to a court of appeal will require payment of its filing fee and the cost of the transcript of the trial in the lower court. Again, you should call the clerk of court for the court of appeal you are filing in to find out the amount of the fee you have to pay to file your appeal. The cost of the transcript depends on how long your trial was. The clerk of court will send you an estimate of the costs of the transcript. Expect the transcript to cost more than $100.
What If I Can't Pay The Appeal Costs?
If you can't pay the appeal costs, you may ask the court (generally the parish, city or district court) for an order to let you appeal in forma pauperis. The court should grant your in forma pauperis application if your income is below 125% of federal poverty guidelines.
You must complete the in forma pauperis affidavits and have a notary notarize your signature and the signature of your witness. There is more information about in forma pauperis requests on a separate LawHelp question and answer page.
An in forma pauperis order will excuse you from prepaying court costs. But the order will not excuse you from the requirement of posting a "suspensive" appeal bond. You still have to post the appeal bond on time for your "suspensive" appeal.
If you do not pay the costs of appeal or get an in forma pauperis order, your appeal will be dismissed.
What Is An Appeal Bond?
An appeal bond is set by the court to protect the landlord during your appeal. Generally, the amount of the appeal bond will depend on your monthly rental and how long the appeal takes.
An appeal bond generally may be a cash bond or may be a "surety bond." A surety bond includes an affidavit signed by you and a friend or relative that says you are indebted to the landlord for any damages he suffers because of your appeal. There are strict rules about how a surety bond is done, so be sure to check the rules before trying to use this kind of bond. The clerk of court may have a form for this kind of bond.
Sometimes the court will allow another kind of bond, such as one to let you pay the monthly rent to the court (to hold for the landlord). Courts sometimes use this last kind of bond for low-income tenants.
How Do I Get An Appeal Bond?
If you want to use an affidavit, commonly called "surety bond" or "appeal bond", check with the court clerk's office. They often have surety or appeal bond forms for the public's use.
If you are asking for an alternative bond where you pay the rent to the court's registry every month, you should file a written motion asking the court for such an arrangement.
You must ask the appropriate court to set the appeal bond.
If you are appealing from a parish or city court judgment, you ask that court to set the appeal bond. Generally, these bonds are higher because the appeals take several months.
If you are appealing from a justice of the peace court, you generally ask the higher court, either the parish or district court, to set the appeal bond. Generally, these bonds are lower since the appeal can be heard in several weeks.
Remember you must file your suspensive appeal bond within 24 hours of the original eviction judgment in order to stop the eviction. Be sure to keep proof that you filed the bond on time.
What Are My Rights During the Appeal?
Both the landlord and tenant must perform their duties during the appeal. You, the tenant, must continue to pay rent and the landlord must continue to provide you with basic services. The landlord cannot lock you out or turn off your utilities during the appeal.
Many landlords will refuse to accept your rent during an appeal. To be on the safe side, you should offer to pay the rent as it becomes due. If the landlord won't accept your rent, you should document his refusal in writing. It may be wise to ask the court to accept your rent payments each month. If you miss a rent payment, the landlord could file a new eviction despite your appeal.
A landlord may try to evict you for the same lease violation that the appeals court is reviewing. The landlord can't do this legally. Still, you must protect your rights by defending against any new eviction suit over the same lease violation as the case on appeal.
Where Can I Get More Information On Appeals?
Check the court rules for the appeals court that will hear your appeal. These rules may be available on that court's web page.
The Louisiana Third Circuit Court of Appeal web page has a Pro Se Manual that provides information for persons who represent themselves in appeals. Click here to see the manual.
Are There Any Other Ways to Stop an Eviction?
If you can't appeal or don't want to appeal, you may be able to ask the trial judge for a new trial, but this might not keep your landlord from evicting you.
WARNING A motion for new trial does not stop an eviction. It does NOT extend the time for filing a suspensive appeal (which must be filed within 24 hours of the judgment). If you choose to file a motion for new trial, do so right away and ask the judge to give you a written order that stays the eviction until the judge decides your motion.
Asking for a new trial is done by filing a motion for new trial with the judge who heard your case. The motion must state why the judgment is contrary to the law or evidence or state other good cause for a new trial.
If your case was decided by a justice of peace, you must file your motion within 7 days of the notice of judgment. If your case was decided by a city or parish court, you must file your motion within 3 days of the judgment or notice of judgment if notice is required. Again, filing a motion for new trial, on its own, does not stop the landlord from enforcing the judgment to evict you.

Photographer's Note
The Church of Saint Jacques-sur-Coudenberg (French) or Sint-Jacob-op-Koudenberg (Dutch) is a neoclassical church located in the historic square of Place Royale in central Brussels.
The medieval abbey church that originally stood on this location was demolished by command of Charles Alexander of Lorraine during his expansive urban planning projects, despite having escaped the great fire of 1731 that destroyed the nearby Coudenberg Palace. The new church was built in line with rue Montagne de la Cour/Hofberg on its present location at the Place Royale. Construction of the facade was started by architect Gilles-Barnabé Guimard after the designs of Jean-Benoît-Vincent Barré (1775). The present building was designed to serve as the Church of the Abbey of Saint-Jacques on the Coudenberg and therefore has a deep extended choir with place for choir stalls for the monks.

Hello Malgorzata,
A very well presented black and white composition. The detail is excellent and the image benefits much from a lovely range of tones. The passing cyclist contributes much to the atmosphere.

Hi Malgorzata
we don't get to see too many monochrome photo's from you, so this one is a pleasant surprise.
its also a surprise to see that the photo has been under appreciated!
it has excellent symmetry, and having the woman going by on the bike gives it an old' time feel.
lovely subject.

Writing about Italian wines always reminds me of that Monty Python sketch where game-show contestants in swimsuits are asked to give a two-minute precis of Marcel Proust's A la Recherche du Temps Perdu. How do you start to sum up a place that makes roughly a fifth of the world's wine?
The first thing to bear in mind is that Italy, like France, is capable of producing some of the greatest wines on the planet. Conversely, it also churns out some of the worst plonk of all. If you've ever had a bad bottle of Italian rosso, served from a wicker fiasco (you couldn't make up a name like that) in a badly lit trattoria, then you'll know what I mean. How could it be otherwise in a country where 800,000 people grow grapes and there are more than 1,000 different varieties?
The Italian wine laws aren't much help, although they make a bit more sense than they did 10 years ago, when many of the country's best wines were sold as Vini da Tavola (a designation reserved for supposedly humble table wines).
According to current legislation, the best wines are produced in 24 DOCG areas (short for Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita). This makes sense when the wines in question are Barolo, Barbaresco, Brunello di Montalcino, Chianti Classico and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, but not when they're Albana di Romagna, Asti Spumante or Gavi. You'd be better off with something from one of the 297 DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) areas. You'd certainly save some money.
Italian wines are sui generis. There have been attempts to export Italian grapes to other countries, but most have been unsuccessful. For whatever reason, Italian varieties have not travelled as well as their French counterparts: if you want to drink great Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Barbera, Fiano or Aglianico, go to the source.
The diversity of Italian wine can seem bewildering on first acquaintance. One estimate is that there are more than 1,800 different styles in Italy. You could spend your whole life studying nothing but Italian wine and never work out the precise difference between, say, Colli di Faenza, Colli di Imola and Colli di Rimini.
What advice would I give to someone eager to appreciate Italian wine? For a start, I'd avoid most of the whites, unless you're eating in situ. Most Italian bianchi are bland by international standards, with a few exceptions in the Veneto, Trentino, Campania, Sicily and Friuli. By and large, Italians regard white wines as something to rinse their palates with before they move on to reds.
Italian reds can be sublime, but if you're used to drinking French or New World wines, you need to approach them with a different mindset. They tend to be higher in acid and tannin content than most other red wines. They also have less overt fruit sweetness. Drunk without food, they can taste bitter and dry, which is why they are best appreciated with the local cuisine.
The best Italian reds - and the majority of these come from Piedmont, Tuscany and the Veneto - are almost as pricey as top Bordeaux and Burgundy. But lower down the scale, Italy offers stupendous value for money, especially if you avoid the DOCG regions.
It also offers flavours and aromas that are unique, as well as a host of characterful grape varieties, from Lagrein, Primitivo and Dolcetto to Nero d'Avola, Montepulciano and Negroamaro. These have never tasted better than they do today, thanks to recent advances in the vineyard and the cellar, not to mention in the minds of producers who are no longer content with mediocrity.
It's not exactly a mainstream point of view, but I am particularly fond of the wines coming out of Puglia and Sicily, two southern areas whose combined production is far greater than Australia's. Both regions have been traditionally regarded as headache-providers, but they have made enormous improvements in the past decade and now rank among the most exciting areas in Europe. It started from a higher level, but Tuscany, too, has upped its game, especially in 1997 and 1999, two excellent recent vintages.
Learning about Italian wines can feel like trying to bottle mercury at times. The names and flavours can be unfamiliar, the laws don't make much sense and the sheer diversity of what's on offer can be bewildering. But persevere. Like reading A la Recherche du Temps Perdu , your effort will be rewarded in the end, with or without the swimsuit.

Miami-Dade detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett blow a fuse when $100 million worth of heroin they recently confiscated is heisted from station headquarters. Suspecting it was an inside job, Internal Affairs gives them five days to track down the drugs before they shut down the narcotics division. Action meets farce when Marcus is compelled to masquerade as his partner in order to gain the trust of a call girl, a key witness in their investigation.

Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi delivered remarks at press availability following a bipartisan meeting with human rights activist Chen Guangcheng. Below are Leader Pelosi's remarks:
"What an honor it is for all of us to be in the same room with a person of such courage and such bravery and such commitment to the rule of law and human rights as Mr. Chen. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for making that possible for many of us here today. Thank you for bringing us here together in a bipartisan way to see how we can help shine a bright light on the situation as it affects Mr. Chen, certainly an investigation into the situation into which he was held and also now, his nephew.
"I would also thank the Obama administration and Secretary Clinton for her doing the good work necessary for Mr. Chen to leave China and come to the United States to plead his case here. A case that is about the rule of law in China, about the rights of people with disabilities, about the human rights as spelled out by the Speaker and about, again, this investigation. I don't often say this, Mr. Speaker, but I do wish to associate myself with your remarks because I think that you said very well, all that our country stands for, and our relationships with other countries, and in relationship to Mr. Chen's case. You have afforded us the honor, many of us here have been working in a bipartisan way for decades now on the subject of human rights in China, and this manifestation of it in person, Mr. Chen, calling attention to the situation there is an opportunity that we are just so privileged to have. Thank you Mr. Speaker, for making that possible.
"Thank you Mr. Chen for your courage and for joining us, giving us the opportunity to welcome you to the Capitol of the United States of America."

Prevent executables from running on mapped network drives
In our company, we are using Windows 7 and my goal is to prevent users (also administrators) of specific workstations from running executables which are located on mapped network drives (servers).
I tried different things (e.g. Software Restriction Policies or Applocker => in both cases I tried the UNC address as well as the drive letter to set up the rules) but nothing worked.
I would really appreciate any suggestions.
Kind regards,
|My System Specs

Windows 7 Pro x64 SP1
In our company, we are using Windows 7 and my goal is to prevent users (also administrators) of specific workstations from running executables which are located on mapped network drives (servers).
I tried different things (e.g. Software Restriction Policies or Applocker => in both cases I tried the UNC address as well as the drive letter to set up the rules) but nothing worked.
I would really appreciate any suggestions.
Kind regards,
As mapped drives are just another letter in the drive listing, I don't believe that you can prevent users, especially administrators from running programs that reside on the mapped drive. If you could then all they would have to do would be to copy the executable to their local drive and run it from there.
Removing administrators rights is a tricky wicket because you might not be able to reverse changes.
you could go to the server where the maps are located and change the permissions on each of the executables.
outside of that, I am not sure why you want to do this.. Take them off the share if that's a problem.
|My System Specs
|13 Jan 2013
You should move the executables inside a different folder then change the permissions so they cannot even view the content of the folder.
Remember that applocker wont work unless the service is started on the client machine default is set to manual. Once its tested and working correctly is the only time to change it to automatic.

Hi all!
Thank you a lot for your responses.
"If you could then all they would have to do would be to copy the executable to their local drive and run it from there."
This is exactly what I want to archieve. Users (also administrators) should not be able to run any executable on the network drive.
If they have to, they must copy it to the local drive.
I also do not care if the administrators could turn-off any feature that restricts them not tu run executables on the mapped network drive.
I simply trust them that they will not do it.
"You should move the executables inside a different folder then change the permissions so they cannot even view the content of the folder."
This is not possible in our use case. However, I will try your hint with activating the applocker service.
Kind regards,
|My System Specs
|14 Jan 2013
What kind of applocker policy are you trying to create? If the files are digitally signed you should consider using a publisher type.
|My System Specs
|14 Jan 2013
Hello parman!
I would like to create a permission which denies running executables for any user by defining a specific path.
The path should be the letter of the mapped network drive (e.g. K:\) or the corresponding UNC address. I do not really know what to use...
However, it is important that that this condition works recursively meaning that all subfolders which may also contain executables should be processed, too.
Setting up a condition by means of the publisher is not possible because I do not know it a priori. I want to block any executable regardless of its publisher.
Kind regards

What happens when the user moves the file... then they can run the .exe That's the downfall of using a path rule.
|My System Specs
|14 Jan 2013
Hi parman!
As long as the user moves the file and runs it from the local hard disc it is not a problem.
Basically speaking: I do not want to prevent users from running executables. I only want to forbid running executables on mapped network drives.
|My System Specs
|14 Jan 2013
Okay, well then i guess path would be fine for you. I dont remember exactly if there are any recursive options when setting it up but i can look into it if you want. I has been a while since i worked with it.
I wonder if you can use the * metacharacter inside the network path. I would also use the corresponding UNC address.
|My System Specs
|14 Jan 2013
Hi parman!
You would do me a great favour because I have never worked in that field.
I will possibly go back to that problem on next Thursday.

Technology and Devices
Longacre offers a multi-year growth experience, with a focus on communication.
Our campers are developing skills they can use in the real world — and this includes technology.
Given the ever increasing use of technology in our society, it should not come as a surprise when children grow attached to devices that are as all-consuming as smartphones.
At Longacre, we want to help our campers develop a sense of balance with their devices, so they can better manage their behavior.
That is why, with strict limitations, we allow devices at our camp.
We believe that technology should bring us closer together. It should promote conversation and strengthen relationships.
Technology should not drive us apart. It should not stifle conversations or weaken relationships.
The purpose of the Longacre tech policy is to help campers develop a sense of balance with their devices.
You may bring your devices, and you may access them on your own time, which means not during activities or crew, or after lights out.
Blackout Period
There is one big caveat: no devices for the first week (for MiniCamp it's five days).
We refer to this week as the blackout period, during which we hold your devices. This ensures that your Longacre experience starts off on the right foot.
We want you to begin developing relationships immediately. If you feel anxious, which everyone does at first, we'll help you confront your anxiety, reach out to people and start making friends. We don't want you disappearing into your device. After the first week the devices are all yours.
We should also note that during the blackout period campers are not allowed to call home, or anywhere else, using the camper landline. This is a new rule for 2016.
After the Blackout Period
After the blackout period, the devices are yours, but we ask you to keep them tucked away during activities and crew, and after lights-out.
Outside of those times—like before and after meals, during meals, during rest hour, etc.—you can use your devices however you want. If you forget the rules, we'll remind you.
There is no WiFi on the farm so you'll be relying on 3G, which means no gaming, but if you need to make a call, send a text or get online, you can do it.
Exceptions to the Restrictions
There are a few exceptions we have agreed to over the years.
For example, you can use your camera phone during activities and crews, as long as it isn't disruptive, and during kitchen crew you can play your music.
I think you'll find that we're not unreasonable. Remember, the purpose of this new policy is to help campers find balance with their devices.
Press Attention
After we adopted our new policy in 2013, we soon realized how controversial the issue of 'technology at camp' is, both for camp directors and for parents. If you are interested in how this issue has been covered in the press, check out press attention.

VALLETTA, Malta, Feb. 21 (UPI) -- Two jet fighters landed in Malta, with the Libyan pilots saying they defected because they were ordered to dive-bomb protesters, Maltese officials said.
The pilots cited a fuel shortage when they requested permission to land in Malta Monday, Di-Ve.com, Malta's Web portal, reported.
The military planes were held at Malta International Airport and the pilots were detained for questioning, officials said.
Maltese officials also said two French-registered civilian helicopters landed Monday, one with three people and the other with four. The passengers said they were French, Di-Ve.com reported.
Sources told the Web site the helicopter passengers "escaped from Libya with no official clearance."

Germany ease, Delie downs Nigeria
Hosts Germany kicked off their Women's World Cup campaign with a comfortable 2-1 win over Canada, thanks to goals from Kerstin Garefrekes and Celia Okoyino da Mbabi.
The current champions were in fine form early on, overpowering their opponents and taking advantage of some sloppy defending from Canadian Marie-Eve Nault to go ahead through a Garefrekes header in the 10th minute after a cross from Babett Peter.
Germany struck again three minutes before the half as Da Mbabi kept her cool after being sent through on goal to slot under goalkeeper Erin McLeod.
Two changes for Canada at half-time did not make a difference as Germany continued to dominate and they should have been further ahead but for the miss of tournament from Garefrekes with an empty net gaping.
Still, Canada kept going and, with seven minutes left got their reward as captain Christine Sinclair scored her 117th international goal with a glorious curled free-kick that saw Germany concede their first goal in the competition for 678 minutes, dating back to the 2003 final in the USA.
Earlier, Marie-Laure Delie scored the opening goal of the tournament as France took all three points in Group A, beating Nigeria 1-0.
The French were on top throughout, although Nigeria posed an occasional threat on the counter attack, and the deadlock was broken 11 minutes after the break as Eugenie Le Sommer beat her defender to square for Louisa Necib who missed the ball, only for Delie to hammer home.
France held on to pick up their first win since the group stage at USA 2003, while the result saw Nigeria's winless run extended to eight matches dating back to 1999.

Album Rating: 4.0bro they set the standard
Album Rating: 3.5so did death dont mean scream bloody gore is better than sweven tho : /
Album Rating: 4.0what
Album Rating: 3.5point is it may have set standards but on its own its nothing special imo
Album Rating: 4.0this album manages to be extreme but retains the rawness which was lost on the next 2 records, most records inspired by this and darkness descends were made when the production became cleaner, this is unique in the fact its fast as fuck AND raw as fuck
but yea my fav is extreme aggression
Album Rating: 3.5oath i jammed EA for the first time today and it was defs better than this or TC. THis is great for sure, featuring smashing riffs and not-that-tight instrumentation that contribute to the overall raw sound, it just doesnt have much standout songwriting or standout riffs
Album Rating: 4.5"Imagine this.
It's 1986, you're somewhere in a bar, listening to Reign in Blood/Master of Puppets/Peace Sells/etc...
While you're headbanging to Angel of Death/playing air guitar while listening to Peace Sells some German dude comes up and turns it off.
He puts on another record. You're willing to give this a chance, but you only hear some weird choir like shit. You, being pissed of at this dude are heading over to him to tell him to fuck off and put Reign in Blood back on when suddenly, BAM.
The utter heaviness of this track knocked you against a wall, and now you're writhing in pain. Halfway Death Is Your Saviour you somewhat recover manage to get back up and stumble back to your seat. But two minutes later when the title track starts, without having any control over it whatsoever, you start headbanging like a maniac.
For the remaining thirty minutes or so you punish your neck muscles relentlessly. You don't want to but you can't stop. You ask the German while panicking 'WHAT THE FUCK DUDE? WHAT IS THIS? MAKE IT STOP!' Amused by your pathetic weakness the German does nothing but laugh maniacally at your despair. During the last 5 seconds of the album you feel your head tearing from your neck and just as Mille says 'guillotine' for the last time your head flies through the room, smiling because this album IS SO FUCKING AMAZING."
Best RYM review ever!

Skip to comments.Obama visits Teamsters in New Hampshire
Posted on 10/27/2012 2:40:25 PM PDT by Arthurio
NASHUA, N.H. President Obama arrived in this northeastern swing state for the second time in nine days and quickly made a pit stop at a Teamsters office in Manchester.
A group of about 60 members greeted the president with loud cheers and chants of fired up, ready to go! Obama addressed the group briefly, telling them the state will be very important on Election Day on Nov. 6.
We dont know how this thing is going to play out, Obama said. These four electoral votes right here could make the difference.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
Probably getting their ballot stuffing game plan in order.
Real Teamsters wouldn't show up.
That's cool, on Nov 6 we'll be telling Obama "Fired you, time to go!"
Obama screwed the Teamsters when he stopped the Keystone pipeline, killing tens of thousands of Teamster jobs. Why not? They support him anyway.
I think Obama was greeted with "fed up, your ready to go".
The columnist misspoke.
James P. Hoffa and the teamsters union are a totally owned subsidiary of the DOJ.
Since the teamsters signed off on the Consent Decree the DOJ effectively runs the union under a federal trusteeship
Hoffa Lite doesn't sneeze without an OK from DOJ
James Riddle Hoffa was the father ... James P. Hoffa is there now after Government stooge Ron Carey was caught swaping cash for campaign contributions with leftist groups like Project Vote, ACORN Rich Trumpka and Andy Stern ....

The Teamsters Union is no doubt owned by the Democrats and others. But the members are not. Yes they are told how to vote and probably nod they will, but voting is very private.
It is my belief the typical union guy is not a thug like the upper agitators and democrat lovers are. Many are informed beyond the propaganda fed to them and are smart enough to know the difference. If they have been screwed out of work because of obama, they certainly will not vote for him.
I think the only unions obama can count on are the government and auto worker unions.
Real former Team-o here saying Barack Obama can KMA!!!

XML Web Services and the MSDN Pencil Company
Matt Powell
Microsoft Corporation
March 18, 2002
In the three previous At Your Service columns, Scott and I have demonstrated how an industry could create a common XML Web service interface for purchasing the standard products for the industry. Our approach was quite simplistic in order to demonstrate with minimal overhead the technical aspects of:
- Defining a common interface.
- Creating an XML Web service that implements the common interface.
- Registering that service with UDDI.
- Creating a client application that searches the UDDI registry for companies that implement the interface and then access their particular services based on the data in the UDDI registry.
In the coming months, we will build on this barebones application scenario to demonstrate a number of other XML Web service technologies, ideas, and best practices. In the process, our simplistic application will become more and more realistic. In this article, I'll lay out some of our plans, so you can see the sort of topics we will be covering to show how you can use XML Web services in new and powerful ways.
Evolving the Infrastructure for the MSDN Pencil Company
One of the main ideas behind the Microsoft Solutions Framework is the time-proven practice of performing incremental updates to a solution in order to achieve key requirements in shorter intervals, so that value is realized faster for the customer without losing sight of an application's development vision. We have created an initial architecture for the MSDN Pencil Company based on the XML Web service we created in the Building XML Web Services Using Industry Standard WSDLs column. We will be building upon that initial infrastructure to create an architecture that supports authentication through digital message signing, payment processing, asynchronous message handling, and approaches to message forwarding. Updates to the application will be made incrementally to illustrate the various technical messages of the column, and to add key capabilities for our application.
Current Infrastructure
As mentioned earlier, the current application infrastructure is quite simplistic. It is illustrated in Figure 1.
Figure 1. The current MSDN Pencil Company application architecture
The current application exposes two XML Web services: the Pencil Discovery service and the Pencil Order service. Both of these services perform simple interactions with a SQL Database in order to implement their logic. The XML Web services are exposed for anyone to use in order to purchase pencils from the MSDN Pencil Company. We show a couple of applications submitting their discovery and order request messages to the two services, and the services returning response messages.
The problem with this model is that it is pretty unrealistic. The client is not authenticated in any way, there is no support for any sort of monetary transaction, and the backend infrastructure is non-existent. So we are going to look at what options we have for molding this baseline infrastructure into something that is more realistic, and will demonstrate just how we might use XML Web services to enable our application to take that next step.
The Backend
Our main concern with our previous architecture was simply creating an XML Web service that exposed the particular interfaces defined by the Industry Standard WSDLs. Therefore, reading and writing to a simple database interface was all we really required for our backend. In a more realistic scenario, the Pencil Order service would have to communicate to the company's warehouse to inform them of the request. In fact, the customer may have three warehouses scattered across the country in order to minimize shipping costs. The MSDN Pencil Company could take advantage of the ease of development and the inherent interoperability of XML Web services and implement a simple order shipping service that it could host locally at the three different warehouses in order to receive shipping requests. The distributed warehouse architecture is shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2. Adding shipping services for the three warehouses
You might have noticed that messages are only being sent to the warehouse services and return messages are not indicated. This is because an XML Web service that might be running over the HTTP protocol cannot wait for the warehouse to gather the materials, package them, and ship them before they send the HTTP response. The shipping requests must be queued while the manual labor to package the material is accomplished at its own rate. But this definitely raises the question of how the shipping entities are going to report their status. The Pencil Order service supports the ability for a customer to check the status of their order, so we need some mechanism that allows the shipping entities to report back to some central authority their status in fulfilling the order. The answer, of course, is to use an XML Web service. Figure 3 shows an additional status notification service in our MSDN Pencil Company backend.
Figure 3. Adding an Order Status service
Notice that our Order Status service is not just receiving SOAP status notifications from our shipping entities, there will also be status changes coming from our Pencil Order service. The Pencil Order service will tell the Order Status service when a new order has been received, so it plays a key role in initializing a new order for the Order Status service.
Handling Payments
So we have a more realistic asynchronous messaging scheme for a couple different parts of our application architecture. You might already be thinking about how having a central status location service might work for other business processes. One such process would be the handling of financial transactions. If someone is going to order pencils from us, they must certainly pay for those pencils. One straightforward approach: we could modify the pencil order schema in such a way as to include a bank account number, and the amount of the monetary transfer. However if we define a couple of extra fields for our current Pencil Ordering interface, we run the risk of the person's bank account number being found out by others. The bank would not know for certain whether it was the owner of the account that approved the financial transaction, nor could the bank be certain whether the amount of the transfer had been changed since it was properly authorized. Therefore we need to make some key changes in the way that our XML Web services handle orders to insure proper payment validation. Figure 4 illustrates our additional architecture for including payment processing.
Figure 4. Adding payment processing
Changing the Pencil Order interface to include encrypted and digitally signed payment information is indicated in Figure 4 by the envelope with the lock on it. The encrypted payment portion of the message will be forwarded to an external partner, First MSDN Bank, through an XML Web service. Of course the bank will not be able to immediately transfer the funds, so the request will be queued. When the transfer does complete, we use our asynchronous callback mechanism with the Order Status service to receive notification from the bank that the funds have been transferred. This requires that the Order Status service has an external interface accessible to third parties. The external interface might be defined differently than the internal interface, in order to allow for authentication and schema differences that might be defined for financial transactions.
Now if we consider adding an auditing service, several reporting services, services for interacting with a third party shipping company, and a system monitoring service, we might get something that looks like Figure 5.
Figure 5. Options for adding new services internally and externally
My goal was not to inundate you with grey arrows and to show off my pixilated artistic capabilities. What I hoped to illustrate is the flexibility and agility that building applications on XML Web services provides you. Obviously the grey boxes with funnels on their sides illustrate that XML Web services are everywhere in this vision. More importantly, however, they map directly with the business functions of the departments and third-party companies that the MSDN Pencil Company interacts with when handling pencil orders. And crucial to the success of the XML Web services vision for the MSDN Pencil Company is the ability of XML Web services to provide secure, private, irrefutable communications, so that things like financial transactions can take place with confidence by all the parties involved. We may not ultimately implement all the grey arrows shown in Figure 5, but we do plan on covering the topics involved that would allow a system like this, based on XML Web services, to be successfully implemented.
Future At Your Service Topics
The process of incrementally developing XML Web services in a manner consistent with the Microsoft® Solutions Framework raises a number of common issues. These are the issues that we plan on delving into for future At Your Service columns. Issues such as how to evolve an XML Web service interface, caching strategies for XML Web service content and applications, merging the XML that might be returned from a number of XML Web services, message routing strategies, digitally signing SOAP messages, encrypting portions of a SOAP message, options for asynchronous XML Web service communications, and how to implement centralized services such as auditing. These are some of the topics we will hit on over the coming months. Some of these involve delving into new technologies, while others are simply common development challenges that inevitably arise when creating an application architecture using XML Web services.
The advances in XML Web service technology, and the ease of development made possible by great tools like Microsoft® Visual Studio® .NET, makes creating entire business solutions based on XML Web services an efficient reality. As we continue to look at the issues involved in making interconnected business solutions with XML Web services, we encourage you to give us your feedback. Click on the "Read User Comments" link at the top of the page, and you can add your own ideas on topics for discussion, or give your opinions on the vision we have created for the MSDN Pencil Company. In the next issue, Scott will be taking the first step into the world of MSDN Pencil, and will be talking about evolving XML Web service interfaces.

Version 6.0 has web-based controls for remote print management
Smooth Screen: Version 6.0 also includes several new screening patterns, including a new Smooth Screen technology that reduces the visible banding that can appear on 10 ft. and 16-ft. wide inkjet printers. Banding isn't such a big deal when the superwides are being used as billboard printers, but if superwides are used for museum-quality murals and wallcoverings, clients deserve not to see glitches in the prints. With the Smooth Screen pattern, the image itself may appear a little less sharp, but superwide owners are likely to consider that a worthwhile tradeoff for the reduction of visible banding.
Additional default screening patterns for silk screening, newsprint, and Standard Web Offset Printing enable PosterShop and ProductionHouse 6.0 to be used in proofing and prepress workflows.
Support for Contour-Cutting: Some print businesses have established profitable niches by using their print-and-cut inkjets to output short runs of small stickers and labels. With the contour-cutting feature in Onyx software, shops can output the labels on adhesive-backed vinyls on their wide-format inkjet printer, then finish the job on contour cutters from Graphtec, Mutoh, Roland, Summagraphics, and other companies. Sign shops can also produce contour-cut adhesive-vinyl signs instead of combining multiple layers of cut vinyl. Support for contour-cutting is included in ProductionHouse and available as an option in PosterShop.
Contract Proofing Workflow Tools: Companies equipped with high-resolution, 6- and 8-color superwides are selling the output with the promise that they can deliver prints that more closely match many of the spot colors used in brand-marketing. Interrupting other jobs to output a proof on the superwide isn't very efficient. But the brightness and whiteness of the proofing media developed for commercial offset workflows often don't match the vinyls output from superwides. For contract-proofing purposes, Onyx ProductionHouse 6.0 makes it possible for smaller inkjet printers to accurately simulate on a smaller version how colors will look when the big graphics are output on vinyl.
Onyx's new proofing tools also include a Media Analyzer tool with which users can qualify media and measure gamuts before calibration or profiling.
Support for New Printers: Onyx is a leader in large-format graphics production because they support as many makes and models of professional-grade inkjets as possible. Prior to announcing the release of 6.0, Onyx announced support for Mimaki's new 98-in., JV3-250SP solvent system inkjet, Encad's 36-in. VinylJet, and HP's 24-in. multiformat Designjet 120. Users of Onyx Proof Prepress Color Workflow Solution Software will be able to generate color-accurate press proofs on the HP Designjet 120.
Pricing and Upgrade Policies: Onyx PosterShop sells for $2995 for the base product. Registered users of PosterShop 5.6 can upgrade for $995. Onyx Production House lists for $4995 for the base product. The price to upgrade from 5.6 is $1495. Version 6.0 of each the Onyx products will automatically import the settings, printers, media profiles, quicksets, and jobs from the 5.6 version. Customers who bought Version 5.6 after June 1, 2003 can receive an upgrade at no additional cost, with proof of purchase and registration. (Onyx Graphics: www.onyxgfx.com)

Hello world, I guess the title explains my plight, please follow my lead. Today I plan to wear a smile on my face. Not just wear as in an article of clothing, yet a true smile because there is a positive future to look forward to guaranteed. Truthfully, I do not feel like smiling, yet I believe upbeat energy creates positive power. The goals you set today will be the accomplishments you celebrate tomorrow. So why reside with your lips twisted south, give yourself a moment and reflect upon the positive desires of your heart.tÂ
Whether you are reading this article from a custom leather chair or sitting on paper because the person who used the seat before you was inconsiderate and left a mess, find an obligation to smile. Whether it is a display of all thirty-two pearls, a bulge from the lips or a small flex of the cheeks, find that smile that offers yourself peace. Today you should wear a smile that reflects, hope, possibility and the potential of gratification to come. As corny as it seems, positive energy comes from within. What better way to produce your desire for satisfaction, than just simply, smiling.
Observe the energy around you and add to it with a smile! Believe me I understand the ills of our current society. You can be experiencing situations that seemingly offer no hope. Stop the cycle with a smile and continue on in spite of the negative. I encourage you to do so for these reasons. I know from past experiences that one can allow positive change in their life just as easy as relying on an unhealthy vise to cap an uneventful day. I am not asking you to portray perfection, nor am I encouraging you to walk blindly led by false hope. "I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul, (William Earnest Henley)". I am asking you to take responsibility of your own good fortune and start with a smile, "the softest thing in the universe overcomes the hardest thing in the universe, (Lao Tsu)".
I can smile
Smile upon greeting with out condescending meaning
With out flex of my chest, intimidation without request
I can smile
Even though life has not a comforting seat
Like a young man failing to offer his to a woman dying to get of her feet
The upward flexion of my lips reminds me not to clench my fist
To think first than dismiss negative arrogance
I can smile
Knowing my thoughts wrinkle my face
Twisting my eyebrows south, depiction of an angry mans grace
I am happy, just caught up with emotion, hoping I'm not too late
Even though I can smile, I waitÂ
I wrote that poem years ago, waiting to offer my smiles to better days. I know that those better days will not come unless you strive to obtain them your self. So, don't wait, because one never knows how long the wait will last! Create a smile for yourself today and generate a greater possibility that you will never regret your past. Trust me, it works!
