Under the Radar: 5 Need-to-Know Names from This Weekend's Sequel-Fest
When you go to your local multiplex this weekend, you will have a host of brand spanking new releases to choose from; all of them either sequels, threequels, or even the prestigious…fourquel? If you pull an iron man and marathon through all three sequels in one day, you will notice, in addition to their gargantuan movie star headliners, a parade of faces and names that may be less familiar to you, but with whom you should definitely acquaint yourself post haste. Here are a few whose talent is on full display:
Noomi Repace
Noomi Repace will be appearing in Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows alongside Robert Downey, Jr., and Jude Law, playing a fortuneteller teaming up with Holmes and Watson to stop a criminal mastermind. This Swedish actress is well on her way to becoming a household name stateside—Repace played the tragic and, if I may unintentionally rhyme, enigmatic Lisbeth Salander in the original film adaptation of Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. She would go on to star in the adaptations of the rest of Larsson's Millennium Trilogy: The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. Last year, the first film made a huge splash on the festival circuit here in the U.S. and is about to see its American remake released in theaters under the direction of David Fincher. I cannot recommend the original Millennium trilogy more highly. Next year, Noomi will be appearing in Ridley Scott's Alien prequel Prometheus.
Brad Bird
The Mission: Impossible franchise has had a fascinating variety of directors at its helm. Brian De Palma kicked things off in 1996 and was followed in succession by John Woo, J.J. Abrams, and now Brad Bird. You may recall hearing some surprised reactions when Bird was selected to take over for the fourth installment. The reason for this surprise is simple: Bird was known for his animated films, almost exclusively. Bird directed Ratatouille and The Incredibles for Pixar as well as serving on the creative team for Toy Story 3. While these films from the unquestionably masterful Pixar Studios are phenomenal, I highly recommend checking out Bird's earlier film The Iron Giant as well; so much power and heart on display in that animated gem. Bird will also be directing the historical epic 1906 in 2012.
Alan Tudyk
If you find yourself attending a screening of Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chip-Wrecked this weekend, hopefully due to your having small children in tow as you arrive at the theater, there will be a name in the credits that will likely be as hard to place to a face as it is to spell. Alan Tudyk, who provides the voice of Simone in the film, is an actor you'll definitely want to research. Tudyk garnered a major genre fanbase with his turn on the woefully short-lived TV series Firefly from creator Joss Whedon (the man directing next year's highly, highly anticipated The Avengers). Tudyk is also off-the-wall amazing in last year's terrific horror comedy Tucker and Dale vs. Evil. We'll be seeing Tudyk again in next year's Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.
Jared Harris
If you're a fan of the classic Sherlock Holmes stories, or have ever read a single one, you were probably surprised that the villain in the first Holmes film from Guy Ritchie did not feature the villainous Professor Moriarty. He was mentioned, sort of looming in the background, but was not the principal antagonist. Rumors about who should play the legendary foil for Sherlock began to flood the web when it was announced he would be the focus of the sequel. When it was decided that Jared Harris would play the role, I was positively delighted. Harris is probably best known on this side of the pond for his work on AMC's Mad Men. On the show, he plays Lane Pryce, the sort of ambassador for the British company that purchases the advertising firm for which Don Draper works. Harris portrayed Pryce as a cool, collected strategist who was fearless and conniving when the proverbial crap hit the fan. These traits will definitely serve him well as the sinister Moriarty.
Simon Pegg
Perhaps the most recognizable on the list, Simon Pegg is another name to which you should continue to grow accustomed. Pegg, who will reprise his role as the tech-savvy Benji in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, has been steadily building his reputation from geek icon to legit box office draw ever since his breakout role in 2004's Shaun of the Dead. In addition to the Mission: Impossible franchise, Pegg managed to land the role of Scotty in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek. After he provides his signature (read: hysterically funny) brand of comic relief in the new M:I, he'll reboard the Starship Enterprise in 2013's Star Trek sequel. His career is similarly boldly heading into the stratosphere so keep an eye on this rising star.

Although Walt Disney initially purchased the film rights to The Ill-Made Knight in 1944,[6] he eventually produced an adaptation of The Sword in the Stone, released in 1963. This movie reflects more the sense of humour of Disney's team of animators than White's. The movie adds a more comical side to the original story, including song and dance, as in most Walt Disney films. Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe's 1960 musical Camelot (which was made into a movie in 1967) is based mostly on the last two books of The Once and Future King, and features White's idea of having Thomas Malory make a cameo appearance at the end, again as "Tom of Warwick".
BBC Radio 4 serialised the book in six one-hour episodes dramatised by Brian Sibley beginning on Sunday 9 November 2014 with Paul Ready as Arthur and David Warner as Merlyn.[7]
Other references
- In the Marvel Universe, the X-Men comics mention The Once and Future King several times, notably in the first issue of the "X-Tinction Agenda" story arc, which mentions that the book is Professor X's favorite, and that Xavier always saw himself as Merlin, the teacher guiding the hero(es), rather than as a hero himself. In the Ultimate X-Men comics, the book is a metaphor for Magneto, an extremely powerful mutant terrorist. This is carried over into the 2003 film X2: X-Men United, which begins one scene with Magneto reading the first edition of The Once and Future King in his prison cell. At the end of the film, Xavier is using the book as a teaching tool. It is mentioned again in Ultimate Comics Spider-Man.
- In Rodman Philbrick's "Freak the Mighty", Max Kane and Kevin Dillon bond through the book; and, inspired by Dillon's fits of fancy, the two embark on a quest to embody the heroic qualities of King Arthur.
- In Bobby (2006) Edward Robinson (Laurence Fishburne) relates the novel's depiction of King Arthur to the selfless and chivalrous qualities of Jose Rojas (Freddy Rodriguez).
- The Magicians by Lev Grossman includes a long sequence where magicians-in-training are transformed into geese, a "direct and loving homage" to Wart's transformation in The Sword in the Stone.[8]
- George A. Romero's film Knightriders references The Once and Future King as the inspiration for a traveling Camelot of motorcycle-riding knights aspiring to the code of chivalry.
- The animated series Gargoyles references The Once and Future King when King Arthur is awakened in Avalon.
- The TV series Merlin talks about The Once and Future King throughout the series, the first time said by the Great Dragon to Merlin about his destiny.
- The film The World's End draws heavily on White's work, with aspects of the story mirroring Arthurian legends and the main character, Gary King, referring to himself early on as "the once and future King".

LEADERS of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and lawmakers elected on the platform of the opposition party, yesterday, gave President Muhammadu Buhari hard knocks over his comments that he inherited nothing from the PDP administrations of former president's Olusegun Obasanjo, late Umaru Musa Yar' Adua and Dr Goodluck Jonathan.
The trio ruled Nigeria between May 29, 1999 to May 29, 2015 when Buhari took over on the banner of the All Progressives Congress, APC. Buhari made the comment on Monday after attending Eid prayers in Daura, Katsina State on the heels of the economic recession in the country. "
I want Nigerians to realise that what this government inherited after 16 years of PDP government was no savings, no infrastructure, no power, no rail, no road and no security," he said. The comment elicited caustic remarks from PDP leaders, who accused the president of reversing the gains and achievements of the PDP within 15 months of coming to power and flinging the country into economic recession.
They challenged him to publish Dr Jonathan's hand-over notes for Nigerians to read and take a stand. While some PDP leaders they would not dignify the president's misinformed comment with a response because he has clearly shown incapacity to lead, those who spoke include, pioneer National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Senator Aniete Okon; Former National Publicity Secretary of the PDP and former Minister of Information, Mr John Odey; former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode; Senators Rowland Owie, Enyinnaya Abaribe, Senator Biodun Olujimi, Senator Sunday Ogbuoji, Reps Leo Ogor and Uzoma Nkem-Abonta
The only voice that supported President Buhari was that of Senator Joseph Waku, who nevertheless urged the president to back up his comments with a probe of the Obasanjo and Jonathan administrations. Jonathan, Buhari and Obasanjo Jonathan, Buhari and Obasanjo His administration is made up of third class ministers – Leo Ogor House of Representatives Minority Leader, Leo Ogor, said: "First and foremost, let Mr President show us what the PDP administration left behind so that we can pin-point all we achieved in those years.
"Let me not go too far, the rail stations he commissioned recently, can he lay claim to it or the telecommunications industry he met on ground that is second to none in Africa? He chose the PDP left overs that he appointed as ministers to help him run his government and that has led us to recession. "PDP had the best of the best in terms of economy management and governance and he decided to take the remnants and they have showcased their expertise in making us a poor nation within a very short period.
Let him give us back the economy and see how we'll re-grow it within a short period. PDP left robust democratic institutions, laced with the rule of law but today, it has been jettisoned. "Before his emergence, Nigeria was the highest exporter of cement and the Agriculture sector was already developing to a world standard. Today, the former Agriculture and Finance ministers work in international organisations a clear testimony to the fact that PDP had top class administrators. "The dollar was N150 to a US dollar but today, how much is the dollar to the Naira? This government came with policies that have made Nigeria a pauper nation in less than two years. "This is definitely the product of bad policies and clear indication that APC needs our support to stabilise our policy battered economy." Let him publish Jonathan's hand over notes – Nkem Abonta Chairman, House Committee on Public Petitions, Rep Uzoma Nkem-Abonta, spoke almost in the same vein and challenged President Buhari to publish the hand-over notes of former President Jonathan to enable Nigerians properly assess the situation on ground.
He said: "This government actually needs all hands on deck to move Nigeria from recession. There is no doubt we must double-leap to beat recession and we must primarily focus on food production. If I may ask, are there no PDP members helping to run the affairs of this government? "Half of APC governors had worn PDP shirts, are they not part of this administration? PDP had rule of law and, to some extent, good governors.
I agree that there is no house without mosquitoes but there must be ability to manage the mosquitoes not to cause malaria. "GEJ was definitely a better manager of mosquitoes as he made sure we did not go into recession. If we must get out of this nightmare, then we must rally round Buhari now to get the desired results. Blaming PDP for these woes will not solve anything because it's like blaming a goalkeeper without attack and defence.
Dollar was stabilised for five years at N150 and to get out of this doldrums, we must have an economic summit to look inward and focus on agriculture to get us out of recession." No sitting president makes such sweeping statement – Odey Former National Publicity Secretary of the PDP and former Minister of Information, Mr John Odey said: "I want to believe that he was reported out of context because no sitting president can make such a sweeping statement. Government is a continuum and I strongly believe he never meant that he did not inherit anything from previous governments since 1999. Maybe he meant that if previous administrations were prudent in investing and diversifying the economy, we would have been better."
The statement is un-presidential – Sen Olujimi Senator Biodun Olujimi, PDP Ekiti South, said the president may be out of tune with development in the country, else he would not say what he was credited to have said. "To say that, it therefore means he is not a Nigerian because we know what Nigeria was before now and we know what it is now. If he did not inherit anything, what happens to GSM, what happens to the number of universities that we increased, what happens to the infrastructures in Abuja? What happens also to increased number of experts who came to invest in Nigeria? What happens to all the roads that lead to his state, Katsina and the ones into Abuja? "I think he just spoke out of context and that is unpresidential of him. That is not what a president should say. A president should appreciate those that had come before him and add value to whatever they had done and not to be continuously running them down. I think he's just playing politics with everything and that is bad of him. " Nigerians are going through difficult times because of what he created and there is need for him to sit up to address their suffering. There is no need playing politics with everything, governance is a serious issue."
He crashed economy built over the years by PDP – Sunday Ogbuoji On his part, Senator Sunday Ogbuoji asked: "Has Buhari been using GSM at all, is he still calling with land line? When did satellite phones come into Nigeria? The GSM Nigerians are using now, who brought it to Nigerian? Was it APC? "The GSM he, Buhari, is using today is one of the benefits of the PDP government.
It is very wrong of him to have said that. When we say that the man is confused and doesn't know what he is saying, it is not as if we are saying so as an opposition, it is a statement of fact. He should be ashamed that he crashed within few months in office the country's economy built by the PDP for 16 years to become the largest economy in Africa. "PDP government made Nigeria to be the largest economy in Africa only for him, Buhari, to crash it within his few months of being in power. "What does it mean to be largest economy, does he really understand what he is talking about? You can go on and on counting achievements of the PDP successive administrations for 16 years but he chose to be making unsubstantiated statements."

If you've heard our local Austin radio spots on KUT 90.5 (NPR) and KUTX 98.9 (Austin's most unique music station), you are probably familiar with our tagline, "No Flexibility Required."
Read our latest contribution, Myths & Miracles of Bikram Yoga, in the Natural Awakenings Magazine, Austin Texas Edition, a locally owned guide to a healthier, more balanced life. Here we tackle the two most frequent questions / myths about Bikram Yoga:
- It's too dangerous to practice yoga in 105 degree heat
- I am not flexible enough to do these poses. This can't be a beginner's class!
Mardy and I have been serving up this authentic and original hot yoga system in Austin since 2003, introducing Bikram Yoga to over 30,000 people. Over the years, we have seen remarkable change in students' lives, even after just a handful of classes. We know that a regular practice of Bikram Yoga will improve your life, just as it has for ours.
We love partnering with the Cedar Park and Austin communities to share our passion for yoga practice. Through our locally-based nonprofit organization, PURE Action, Inc., we've funded yoga research studies and brought yoga (non-heated) directly to under-served communities right here in Central Texas. Through PURE Action, we've served the addiction recovery community for the last three years and will begin offering classes in the Austin Public Library system at eight of their branches under their My Library Keeps me Healthy – Yoga is Medicine program.
With more people practicing yoga regularly, we will all share a happier and healthier world. See you in the hot room!

The fire was started at a bus shelter on the Vivalla estate shortly before 3am, the newspaper reports.
"The fire was intentional. Newspapers don't just burn by themselves," police spokesman Thomas Ginghagen told Nerikes Allehanda.
Some 200 to 300 newspapers are reported to have gone up in flames. Police have not made any arrests in connection with the incident.
It is the second time in a few days that copies of the newspaper at the centre of the Muhammad caricature row have been destroyed. At the weekend a number of newspapers were thrown into a fountain in protest.

Clinton Haughton moved from Jamaica to Atlanta, Georgia, nearly two decades ago and came to New Orleans in 2008. After years of cooking on cruise ships, Haughton started to sell jerk chicken on the street before launching his food truck, Johnny's Jamaican Grill, in 2013. Now, Haughton has nabbed one of six spots at the Central City outdoor food court, Roux Carre (www.rouxcarre.com), which is slated to open in mid-October. An initiative by the Good Work Network, the program aims to help entrepreneurial food service workers start businesses while offering the neighborhood affordable food options. Haughton spoke with Gambit about his project.
How does your setup at Roux Carre work?
Houghton: With the food truck, I almost only work at night. But at the food court, it's going to be more of a daytime thing, for the lunch crowds and also some dinner. So for people who don't do the nightlife thing, it will be a nice way for them to try it out.
It's like a big, outdoor food court. The vendors will all share one big kitchen. There will be music; it's outside and there will be a lot of international food. The first year, (the vendors) pay a small percentage of our sales to the project.
I think it's going to be a blast. Why not try something new? I've traveled a lot in the United States, but I've never seen a food court like that: six different chefs, six different types of food, there's no reason to go anywhere else — you can stay right there and try everything.
It's going to be good for the city. It's going to be good for the area, and it will bring jobs for the people who live there. It goes all the way around. It's good for us, it's good for the system, and it's good for the people too.
Are you sticking with Jamaican food?
H: For now, yes. Jamaican food is a lot like New Orleans food. New Orleans is a spicy place, let's put it that way. We use a Jamaican jerk sauce, which has fresh thyme, fresh herbs and lots of spices. Jerk chicken is spicy and certainly has a different flavor, but people love it; they say (mine) is one of the best they've had so far.
Jerk chicken will be the No. 1 dish I sell. I'll also have rice and peas, which you call red beans and rice, but we cook it a little differently. We use coconut milk, thyme, onions, cayenne and then just cook it down, so it tastes right. We'll have fried plantains, curried chicken and rice, brown stew chicken, jerk fish ... and whole red snapper and jerk shrimp. I'll also have some greens, a type of salad and macaroni and cheese.
What's next for you?
H: I see (Roux Carre) as a stepping stone, a place for someone to start out. Then, after a year or two, you pass the torch to someone else. You spread the wealth.
I want to get established; I want to make life better for me and for everybody. Right now I have a guy who I'm training to be the second in command over there when I'm not around, so I will probably still run the truck at night.
Right now I'm refurbishing the truck, putting in a new stove and a new fridge. Later on in life I'm thinking about opening my own restaurant — I'm thinking like three years from now. That's my plan.

A Transportation Solution for Municipalities
If you could solve your region's commuting problems without any of the disadvantages of major construction projects would you be interested?
How about providing door to door transportation on demand for the majority of the area's commuters?
How about implementing such a program that would provide immediate benefits not only to commuters but to everyone in the region through cleaner air, less congestion, and reduced taxation?
And what about doing all this with a program that came with no net cost to taxpayers?
There is a solution that will achieve all these things. How? Simply by replacing a proportion of single-occupant commuter vehicles with cars that are half their width. Narrow Commuter Vehicles (NCVs) double roadway capacity and quadruple parking capacity. NCVs have the footprint of a motorcycle but with all the comfort and safety features of a four-wheeled car. They give drivers the flexibility to go where they want, when they want, taking what they want along with them.
Some of the Issues
We all know the problem. Fixed route public transportation is of limited use in suburban areas. That's because buses work best in high-density areas, while rail—either above or underground—has a limited geographic range. It goes efficiently from point A to point B, but people have to get to point A. And low-density suburban housing means that commuters would have to travel extended distances just to get to public transit stops. Add to this the fact that the majority of commuters travel during two peak times—morning and evening—with very limited transportation demand during the rest of the day. This means that fixed-route transportation has limited practical application for suburbanites.
Suburbanites also tend to have higher than average incomes. With that comes an expectation that time is valuable. They justify the need for the flexibility of having their own vehicles. Note that roughly 90% of commuter vehicles are single-occupant and that approximately 80% of workers travel alone to and from their jobs.
There's an old saying that the three things that matter in real estate are location, location, location. For commuters, the three key issues are convenience, convenience, convenience. Ask any of those commuters who travel alone, why they don't use public transportation. Despite many answers, they all come down to convenience: public transportation doesn't get me where I need to go in a timely, cost-effective, comfortable manner. It takes away my independence, I can't carry the items I need with me, it doesn't take me directly between my home and my destination. I still have to travel to/from the transit stops, and I can't deviate from the scheduled route.
No matter how fast we build roads, private vehicles expand to fill them. Part of this is due to the nature of the construction itself. Every new highway removes existing housing and forces people to move further out from city cores. Extending roadways further out to serve these people encourages more housing development in the outskirts. Eventually, capacity is reached on the new roads and the process repeats itself.
Meanwhile, every new project creates bottlenecks during the construction process. Commuters who live through the inevitable construction-related slowdowns may see the ultimate benefit, but are frustrated in the process—not frustrated enough, though, to consider alternative commuting options.
The Boston, Massachusetts "Big Dig" is a classic example of the wastefulness of this approach. A projected couple of billion-dollar tunnel project wound up taking 20 years and costing $20-billion. It only makes way for 130,000 cars per day from one point to another, ignoring the rest of the traffic and parking problems throughout the city. And it only helps during peak commute time—maybe four hours a day. The rest of the time it is a significant overbuild for traffic requirements.
Traffic lanes carry approximately 2,000 vehicles per hour. As they reach capacity, traffic studies show that a 10% addition in number of vehicles drops the average speed by half. What is needed is a solution that doubles lane capacity during peak commuting hours but doesn't disrupt the surrounding areas by adding travel lanes that are unnecessary for the remaining 20 hours per day and on weekends.
The Solution
This is where Narrow Commuter Vehicles come into play. NCVs more than double lane capacity from 2,000 to 4,400 vehicles per hour according to a University of California-Berkeley and Booz-Allen-Hamilton study funded by the California Department of Transportation. Had they been available in volume production, it would have cost a tenth as much and taken one tenth the time to simply give away 100,000 NCVs for free in Boston. In volume production, the Tango NCV would cost about $10,000 plus a battery with 100-mile range for an additional $10,000. Furthermore, giving away Tangos would not have caused any disruption due to construction during those 20 years.
In a recent study in Belgium, it was determined that adding just 10% of the number of motorcycle-sized vehicles to the traffic mix would reduce bottlenecks by 40%. A study of the Auckland, New Zealand, area showed that if 25% of single-occupant-vehicle commuters switched to NCVs congestion would be eliminated.
So How Do We Get 25% of Commuters to Switch to NCVs?
Of course, as people see the benefits of driving NCVs—the reduction in congestion, the time savings, the reduced parking costs because four will fit into a standard parking space—and as the production volume results in affordable vehicles on the open market, people will choose the option for themselves. The fastest way to facilitate a switch, though, is for government entities to purchase a fleet of NCVs, which could be done for a fraction of the cost of a typical infrastructure construction project.
Looking at the numbers, let's imagine that commuter traffic flow in your area is 60,000 vehicles a day. 25% would mean 15,000 standard-sized cars to be replaced with NCVs. If the government entity covered the entire cost of $10,000 per vehicle plus $10,000 per battery pack, that 15,000 cars would require an investment of $300M.
Of course, for maximum benefit, 25% saturation should be achieved as quickly as possible. The beauty of this solution, though, is that even a significantly smaller saturation (10%) will show immediate benefit. And as the benefit becomes more clear, more people will want to participate.
Cost Recovery Potential
All taxpayers, not just commuters, would benefit from the program through improved traffic flow, reduced air pollution, and elimination of the disruption caused by normal road-building projects. However, there are certain distinct benefits for anyone willing to participate in a program like this. First, they would have a car that is safe, affordable, enjoyable to drive, and dedicated to their use. Second, their parking requirements would be quartered, which should come with a commensurate cost reduction. Third, because the Tango NCVs are electric, they don't have the gasoline or oil change costs associated with standard cars, just the cost of the electricity. At a $0.10/Kwh rate, this equates to $0.04/mile fueling cost. (At $3/gallon and 30 mpg, on the other hand, fuel would cost $0.10/mile). Finally, commuters would save the wear and tear on their own vehicles.
These user-specific benefits open up the possibility that governmental agencies could actually recover some or all of their investment in a fleet of NCVs by leasing them to participating drivers. Assuming the average commute is roughly 30 miles per day round trip, fuel for this daily trip is approximately $3.00 or $15/week. The same trip can be made in an all-electric Tango NCV that has a 200 km range, for only $1.20 or $6/week. If only used for commuting, the savings would be $9 a week, to which could be added the potential savings in parking fees. If an individual saved half of a $50/week parking fee, or $25, total savings for fuel and parking would be $34/week. By charging that amount of rent to participants, the commuter would be cost-neutral; the governmental agency could recoup 85% of its investment over a 10 year period. Most commuters would probably be willing to pay more for the convenience the program would offer them, meaning that governments could break even, or even make a profit on their initial outlay.
Added Benefits
NCVs lend themselves to car-sharing programs that allow users to reserve and utilize vehicles for limited times as needed. Such programs are beginning to be found in major cities and are popular with urban-dwellers who don't want the nuisance of owning a car in the city. Providing a fleet of NCVs would add yet another level of personal public transportation service that meets the needs of those who aren't adequately served by fixed-route public transportation.
Governments themselves can also benefit from a fleet of NCVs. Because of their small footprint, a few dedicated parking spaces near government offices can hold enough NCVs for a number of trips by staff members. NCVs make ideal vehicles for inspectors, parking enforcement staff, and others who spend a lot of their days in their vehicles, need the security to carry material with them, and travel alone.
"The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them."
"The formulation of the problem is often more essential than its solution, which may be
merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skill."
"If I had an hour to solve a problem I'd spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5
minutes thinking about solutions."

Otherwise, it kind of gets teadious to go: start...programs...winscp...winscp, everytime I get disconnected, or can't reconnect for a short period of time.

If you say not to reconnect, WinSCP should display login dialog. It does not for you? Which version are you using? Have you tried the latest one? Log file can be also useful.

I'm sorry, I should have re-phrased my request.
What I mean to say is..
It would be a lot more intuitive if, under the file menu, there was an exit object to select (in replace of the current "diconnect" object). And the program would ONLY exit under explicit call of exit. Disconnect is already listed where it should be under session. However, disconnect exits the program, which it should not do (it should only close the connection/bring up the connection dialog for reconnection).
In other words, there is currently no way to disconnect and then reconnect without exiting the program or creating a new connection window.
I was considering just doing this myself in the code, but it would be much better if it was actually implemented in the current version, thus, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

I do not know to which program interface are you referring.
Norton commander interface - "Disconnect" command is in Session menu. "Quit" command is in Commands menu.
Explorer-like interface - "Disconnect" command is both in File and Session menu. "Quit" command is in Commands menu.
"Disconnect" command disconnects current session. If there were other sessions connected, one of them is activated. If not, login dialog is shown.
"Quit" command closes all sessions and exits application.
Does it work for you this way? If not, are you sure that you have the latest version installed?

I must have had an earlier version.
I downloaded the latest version today.
Every works as expected now, except when I click the close button on the login screen. It exits me out of the whole program. My suggestion might be to rename the close button to "exit" or "quit".
Coming from a windows user's perspective, traditionally the "quit" or "exit" command is under the file menu. If this were linux, I'd say do whatever you want.
My suggestion here, might be to move the "quit" command from the commands menu, and place it in the file menu. Then remove the disconnect command from the file menu under the explorer-view. this seems more intuitive, but of course, it's just a suggestion, and I don't have the time to build my own version.
Posted: 2003-11-18 09:58
I would have to agree. I think you should rename the close button to quit. This took me off guard the first time.
Quit should also belong in the file menu.
It took me a while to figure out how everything works too.

Sydney - Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard said on Saturday that reports of a hunger strike among Malaysia-bound asylum seekers would not deter her from the controversial refugee swap plan.Immigration officials played down claims from refugee activists of the protest among the first group preparing to set off for Malaysia under Gillard's deal with the Southeast Asian nation."There is no one on hunger strike of which we are aware," an immigration spokesperson said."Just because someone misses a meal or two does not mean they are on voluntary starvation."Refugee activist Ian Rintoul said a man from the group had made brief contact via mobile phone to plead for help and announce that some people had begun a hunger strike to protest against their expulsion to Malaysia.Gillard said she was "aware" of the reports but they would not sway her determination to see the newly-finalised policy through."As we've made clear all along, the returns to Malaysia aren't a question of volunteering, this will be done," she told reporters."Our aim is to smash the people smugglers' business model, our aim is to not see people put themselves in boats and be at risk of losing their lives," she added.Under the plan, signed off in Malaysia last month, Australia will send 800 boatpeople to the Asian nation in exchange for 4 000 of its registered refugees in a move intended to send a deterrent message to people smugglers.The United Nations children's agency slammed the scheme as "inhumane" on Friday after it emerged that 18 of the 55 people in the first contingent were minors, 13 of whom were believed to be travelling without a parent or guardian.Gillard said Canberra had "worked through" the issue with the UN and there were "protections" set out in the agreement with Malaysia, noting also that there would be children among the 4 000 refugees resettled in Australia.The immigration department said a departure date had not yet been set for the group but they would be transferred "as soon as practicable."Refugees are a thorny political issue in Australia although relatively small numbers of boatpeople make for its shores by world standards.The government has a mandatory detention policy for asylum seekers who arrive by boat through a popular people-smuggling corridor from Indonesia.A record influx of almost 7 000 arrivals last year has put the system under pressure, with detainees rioting at a number of centres and processing times blowing out to 18 months or longer.
Congralutations Australia! It shows you have guts,unlike our government who open the doors for every criminal.Less than 10% of refugees today are really refugee cases.Why not tackle the systems in the countries of origin instead of taking in more and more till the whole system collapses?!
SA should get a wake-up call too
I hope that they will be more lenient to white SAs
typical oz rasists. If they were white it would be a different story. But because they a harded skinned - they put them on a boat and make them to the next continent.
Go Australia!! Well said! It is time that Africa stop being dependand on the colonials they seem to hate and accuse so often. Somehow, SA Gov has no idea hot to deal with similar situations!
WTF did you even read the article? Last time I checked Malaysia was nowhere near Africa. This country has really produced loads of woodwork failures.
Please send this guy a map
You go Aussie, I wish South Africa would adopt the same policy
Actually, it has taken OZ quite a few years to wake up. They have followed NZ with regards to this when NZ refused a boatload of Sri Lankans. Well done eventually OZ. I agree with these posters here. SA government - do your job !!!
Well done again! Packing my bags...
bye bye. Good riddens and you wont be missed by anyone
People must learn to stay in their countries. We have faced hardships but did not run to other countries. This is a wake up call for RSA to tighten its immigration laws. There were no problems before 1994 now we have become a charity state at the expense of own citizens.
Yea, wish I could leave this country and become a refugee in Oz!
a sheep suit is a sure way in
Please do not send these children back to the desperate situations they escaped from! Are you willing to sacrifice these children just to send a message to the human traffickers? I understand these countries must regain control of the violence and care for their own people, but, truthfully, I do not see it happening. It is a scary thought and I do not have a solution.

W.E. is loosely based on the relationship between American divorcee Wallis Simpson and King Edward VIII. Madonna (who also co-scripted the film with Alex Keshishian) fashioned it into a split-level story of two couples: the Windsors, and the growing attraction between Wally Winthrop (Abbie Cornish), a contemporary Manhattan woman, and Evgeni (Oscar Isaac), a handsome Russian working security at Sotheby's.
The singer said she had a long-standing curiosity of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and spent two years doing research for the film.
"I just was always intrigued by ... this twice divorced American woman from Baltimore, who was not considered a conventional beauty, and who grew up poor, who on the outside didn't seem like anything extraordinary," she said.
Although W.E. is her first attempt at directing a feature film, the singer said her past relationships and friends taught her a lot about heading a film crew.
"I've been on a few film sets in my day and I've been married to a few directors and I've been friends with a lot of directors and I've picked up some tips along the way – paid attention."
Andrea Riseborough, who plays Wallis Simpson in the film, could not find fault with the first time director.
"She was extraordinary and so passionate and she worked so hard and she's so insightful and inspiring and nothing but admiration and respect for her, she's wonderful," she said.
W.E. goes on general release in the UK on 20 January 2012.

St. Patrick
For Catholics, Episcopalians and some Lutherans, March 17 is the Feast Day of St. Patrick. For the rest of us, it's St. Patrick's Day — a midweek excuse to party until we're green in the face. But who was Patrick? Did he really drive the snakes out of Ireland or use the shamrock to explain the Trinity? Why should this fifth-century priest be remembered on this day?
Q: Was St. Patrick a real guy, and would he approve of green beer?
A: Yes, Patrick was a real person, but not much is known of his life. He was born in the late 300s when the Roman Empire extended to England, so he was not "really" Irish — like the vast majority of people who celebrate his day. In his "Confessio," one of only two surviving documents attributed to him, Patrick wrote that while his father was a Christian deacon, he was not devout. At age 16, Patrick was captured by Irish marauders, carried across the Irish Sea and enslaved. Patrick spent six years alone in the wilderness tending his master's sheep, praying constantly. "It was among foreigners that it was seen how little I was," he wrote. He began to have visions and hear voices that told him: "Look, your ship is ready." So Patrick left his first flock and walked 200 miles to the coast. It's a pretty safe bet he would have loved a beer, green or otherwise, as he stepped into a boat bound for England.
I love St. Patrick's Day.
The one day of the year when, for better or worse, Western culture allows me to claim my non-existent inner Irishman.
Kiss me, baby.
Okay. I'm done.
There are many stories and legends about the fascinating life of St. Patrick. One of the most famous legends recounts how this great 5th century saint banished all of the snakes from Ireland. Bad snakes. Bad.
My work at the Raven Foundation during the last few years has taught me to be suspicious of such legends. In fact, we might call them myths. Myths cover up scapegoating of human beings by telling the story in a more innocuous way. So, instead of saying we banish humans, we say we banished snakes.
Interestingly, the last glacial period (some 10,000-100,000 years ago, depending on whom you ask) beat St. Patrick to the snake banishing. But, Christian tradition has given Patrick all the credit. So, if there weren't snakes around during Patrick's day, what's with the legend?

One of the hallmarks of Weyl semi-metals is the existence of unusual topological surface states known as 'Fermi arcs'. The formation of these states is guaranteed by the existence of bulk Weyl points with opposite chirality. I will present our recent findings on two types of Weyl semimetals: the non-centrosymmetric Weyl semimetal TaAs and the candidate magnetic Weyl Semimetal GdPtBi. The surface of tantalum arsenide, similar to that of other members of the Weyl semimetal class, hosts non-topological states that obscure the exploration of the Fermi arc states. We use the spatial structure of the surface states' wave function to distinguish the surface Fermi arcs and to visualize their unique properties and their correspondence with the bulk states [1]. We find that in contrast to non-topological surface states, the Fermi-arc wavefunction is weakly affected by the surface potential: it spreads rather uniformly within the unit cell, and penetrates deeper into the bulk. We find that the arcs' energy dispersion shows clear correspondence with the Weyl nodes. I will show how we extract from quasi particle interference information about the structure of the Bloch wave function and how we use this information to distinguish between topological and non topological states. We further visualize magnetic response in GdPtBi in which Weyl cones and Fermi arcs are predicted to form under the application of magnetic field.

You might think that this post is going to be about the utter redundancy of candles on a table that is clearly being lit with a photographic light with a mega wattage resembling that of the sun. The vegetables are practically cowering from it as their shadows attempt to escape.
"What we need here to complete this picture are several candles," someone thought as they adjusted their shades. "They will set just the right tone by providing a warm and cozy glow to offset the harsh reality of being served an entirely raw vegetable platter." Perhaps the cook imagined that the camera lights would flash-cook them when the photo was taken.
There was a time, in the late 1970s, when food stylists reflexively added candles to every shot, as if candles suggested class and comfort. But every type of candle has clearly been lit only seconds from the shutter clicking, so that no wax be allowed to spoil the elegance. The candle, perhaps is also meant to suggest the hearth, the cooking flame from whence the food has so recently been removed.
But you're wrong.
This isn't about that at all.
It's about using untoasted sesame seeds for a garnish. Dandruff, anyone?

The title of this blog entry may seem a particularly dumb question. Coastal legislators, the simple answer proceeds, want the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association to keep rates low because it helps their constituents' pocketbooks. But is that really true? Or, more precisely, under what circumstances would that be true?
The first thing to recognize is that low premiums have a somewhat different effect when they go to Allstate than when they go to TWIA. One can quite understand policyholders not wanting to pay Allstate very much money because its profits simply go for the benefit of Allstate's shareholders. TWIA, on the other hand, has no shareholders. To the extent TWIA collects "too much" in premiums, that is extra money available to pay future claims of future coastal policyholders. Over collection by TWIA favors future coastal residents in a way that over collection by Allstate does not.
One can get at a better answer to this question by asking why TWIA insists that policyholders pay much or, indeed, anything in advance premiums at all. Since the risk of tropical cyclones is difficult to quantify, why not just have a post-disaster assessment scheme? It would work as follows: when we know how large the damages are from some hurricane relative to TWIA cash on hand (which might be zero if there were no premiums), TWIA simply "post-assesses" its policyholders to pay in that much money over some period of time. We wouldn't need no stinkin' models; we'd just see what happens. Take imaginary Hurricane Barry that creates claims (plus lost adjustment expenses) of $1 billion above any cash TWIA happens to have on hand. Because TWIA has about $70+ billion of property under its control, if TWIA could spread the payback period over 5 years, some back of the envelope math suggests that the consequence of this scheme would be that someone with $200,000 worth of coverage would have to pay roughly $571 per year to take care of the claims caused by Barry.
This proposed post-assessment alternative sounds pretty good. I bet many TWIA policyholders with $200,000 properties would be delighted to pay only $571 per year for tropical cyclone coverage.
Unfortunately, the proposed alternative won't work as inexpensively as described. This baseline figure of $571 is a significant underestimate. There are two reasons: interest expenses and post-assessment shrinkage.
The interest issue is easy to understand. Few policyholders with demolished properties want to wait 5 years living in a tent or in a home decorated with blue tarp until all the assessments are collected before getting their claims paid. So, to pay for Barry, TWIA has to borrow the $1 billion. But now TWIA policyholders don't have to just pay back $1 billion, they have to pay it back with interest. Interest expenses alone can raise the annual payback amount substantially.
There's also a shrinkage problem. Once the price of being a TWIA policyholder jumps due to the assessment, TWIA will no longer be assessing the amount of property it did prior to the storm. Thus, to continue with our example, to compute the necessary assessment, TWIA won't be dividing the amount of damages by the $70+ billion; the denominator will be smaller. And this means that the assessment, because it will be spread over less property, will have to be larger. But the larger assessment means that yet more people will drop out of TWIA, which means that the assessment will have to be yet larger. One can't easily say whether and if this spiral will stop, but one can be confident that the size of the assessment will increase significantly due to both the interests costs on the loan and due to the reduced size of the TWIA pool.
Footnote here. There is another way to run an assessment scheme: don't assess future policies; assess policies in place at the time the disaster struck. Such a method avoids shrinkage as I've described it, but it creates another problem: collection. Instead of just cancelling policies that don't pay assessment, TWIA now has to actually track down over a period of many years former policyholders some of whom just will not have the money to pay what is due. That's expensive and will not yield a 100% recovery rate. And, as I read the Texas statute, it's not what's contemplated in the event of a large storm. Anyway, whether done by assessments on future or in-place policies, post-assessment has problems.
I don't think it's unreasonable to believe that for something like Hurricane Barry, interest and shrinkage would raise the post-assessment by about 25% over its baseline cost. But no one knows this number with any certainty. And this means that there is a substantial risk that the scheme won't work or, that conservative lenders, will worry that it won't work and will accordingly charge very high interest rates. Indeed, TWIA appears to have discovered that, although the Texas statute will let it borrow $1 billion following a disaster to be repaid with policyholder assessments, the market appears willing only to lend $500,000. So, post-assessment schemes are risky.
There's an additional problem, however. And, this one is a killer. I just provided an example with a $1 billion Hurricane Barry. If we start increasing the size of the storm to, say $2 billion (over cash on hand) hypothetical Hurricane Tanya (or we add another smaller hurricane in the year such as $1 billion hypothetical Chantal), the shrinkage problem starts to grow. Indeed, with a more serious storm such as Tanya (or Barry + Chantal), there is a significant risk of a death spiral in which there are not enough TWIA policyholders left to repay the assessment.
What this means is that a sensible insurance scheme has to balance at least two factors: you don't want insureds paying too much because — well — that's money out of the hands of insureds and doing so could needlessly depress the coastal economy. On the other hand, you don't want insureds paying too little because that creates the risk of a storm large enough to plunge any assessment scheme into a death spiral.
So, what an intelligent discussion of this issue needs to do is to discuss a balance of these two problems with actuarial and climate science in mind. By focusing only on the over-collection issue, certain coastal legislators are sadly distorting and deterring an intelligent political debate. The consequence of this distortion could be quite serious for coastal residents. They may find that the assessment scheme they counted on to help TWIA pay for losses just does not work. They will then need to come begging to the state or Uncle Sam for a bailout. Indeed, that is precisely what the latest actuarial study engaged by TWIA/TDI predicts will occur a substantial percentage of the time if coastal premiums are not raised substantially.
Now, what I could imagine a coastal politician saying in response to this blog (I do hope they read it — and read it all the way to the exciting end), is that the post-assessment problem is overstated because the Texas statute limits the size of assessments that can be made. Moreover, they might say, TWIA does not depend exclusively on policyholder assessments to pay for tropical cyclones that cause damages in excess of cash on hand. And, to some extent, this rebuttal is true. But, if we break it down, what the politicians are really saying then is that small premiums aren't a problem because they expect someone else to pick up the pieces if a big storm hits. That is, TWIA policyholders aren't to be treated like ordinary policyholders who are in serious difficulty if their insurer (predictably) goes insolvent after charging too low premiums; TWIA policyholders stand in a privileged position relative to other Texans.
I have a lot of problems with this rebuttal. First, there is still a problem because, as I have pointed out at some length, the other sources (limited assessments on non-TWIA coastal policies; limited assessment on Texas insurers) will not yield enough cash to pay fully for losses incurred after serious storms in the densely populated parts of the Texas coast. Even the coastal politicians now appear to recognize this fact but poo-poo what they believe is a 1.5% annual risk of this occurring. But even if there were zero risk of a TWIA default, the rebuttal rests on the dubious premise that coastal residents are entitled to some special privilege that the rest of Texas does not enjoy.
And, here, we get to the core of the issue. After you put all the smokescreen rhetoric aside, what certain coastal politicians are really saying is that the coast is indeed special. But why? Yes, many find the coast lovely, but so too do many find the Texas Hill Country or even the stark beauty of the northern panhandle with its silos, vistas and hints of ancient vulcanism. Yet neither Kerrville nor Dumas insureds have the benefit of getting full insurance on their $200,000 property while paying the premiums sufficient to cover only a policy with a $50,000 limit. If the preference for the coast is based on aesthetics, then let us be explicit and subsidize coastal beauty. Yes, the coast contributes to the Texas economy. But so does Houston, so does Dallas, so does El Paso, so does Stephenville and so does Dalhart and Childress and Texarkana. Dollars are dollars. Should Galveston residents assume the risks posed by locating property in Dallas because Dallas contributes greatly to all of us here in Texas?
So, in my opinion, the "coast contributes" justification is completely bogus.
Are coastal residents disproportionately afflicted by some imperfection in the insurance market from which the rest of Texas is exempt? Might that justify the privilege? I see no evidence of any special, irrational animus towards the Texas coast on the part of the insurance industry. Greedy insurers would as much enjoy profiting from coastal consumers as they do profiting from those in Stephenville. Why, if they could do so at a rate they thought profitable, would insurers collectively sit back and let a government entity take over the coastal insurance business? The fact that many (and not all) companies won't write on the coast is more easily explained by the low prices of its publicly subsidized competitor — TWIA — or by feared regulatory price constraints than by some vast conspiracy. The most likely reason prices are high on the coast is because risks there are particularly uncertain and particularly correlated and because stockpiling the requisite cash to pay for large claims is expensive.
Now, is it the "fault" of a Galveston policyholder that they live in a place subject to uncertain, correlated risk? No. There is no moral failing. Is it a "choice?" That depends. For some, such as the owner of a second home, quite probably. Moreover, even for a first home, people choose to have a million dollar home rather than a $500,000 home. For others, however, less so. The current scheme in Texas, however, treats TWIA insureds as special regardless of the degree to which their ownership of property is a choice. In general, it's a good idea for insurance prices to reflect risk accurately because that, in the long run, encourages intelligent investment decisions. Societies that subsidize risky activities for long periods of time end up with more risky activities and become, as the pandering of some coastal politician suggests, addicted to them at great expense to the rest of society.
The better rebuttal — and the one I actually hope starts to gain prominence — is that giving TWIA lots of money has enabled it to waste money purchasing incredibly expensive reinsurance in a market whose competitiveness is open to question. Because reinsurance has cost TWIA something like six times the actuarial value of the risk it assumes, policyholders would do better, this argument proceeds, for TWIA to charge less in premiums or to charge the same in premiums, pray for a few good years, and to stockpile the extra funds. This argument, by the way, has some support in the recent report of TWIA's actuarial consultants. But, if wasting money on reinsurance is the issue, the better solution is to restrict TWIA's discretion in using its funds for this purpose. TWIA could, after all, buy reinsurance even if premiums were reduced. Now, how exactly to intelligently restrict TWIA's discretion in reinsurance purchasing is the subject for another day. In the mean time, however, the purported advocates of coastal policyholders had best be very careful lest their concerted advocacy in support of what they wish for, lower premiums, succeeds and a large insurer has insufficient resources to pay claim as a result. Pity the coastal politician seeking another term after they deprived the insurer of residents in their districts the resources that insurer needed to pay claims fully.

One of the most interesting concept cars coming from South Korea, with the Kia logo on it, has been revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show and the new four-door coupe could enter production. Kia says that its GT Concept is powered by a 3.3 liter T-GDI turbocharged gasoline direct injection engine, which is delivering 395 horsepower and 535 Nm of torque.
"This concept allows us to explore exciting new design directions, as using a rear-drive layout creates very different proportions compared to a front-wheel drive car. The classic front-engined, rear-wheel drive layout of a performance saloon has distinct appeal not just for the domestic Korean audience, but also for the European and American markets", said Kia's chief design officer, Peter Schreyer.
The South Korean automaker also said, thru Peter Schreyer's voice, that the GT Concept could hit the production line, highlighting the car's four-seat layout and good luggage space.
"One of the great things about working on this project was that this is a very real car. It felt good to be working on a car that could roll down the road tomorrow. Yes, it would be a dream to put this into production – it has a logical layout, with four seats, and good luggage space, and it's also engaging and dynamic makes a strong statement. It's exactly the kind of car Kia should be making", added the company's chief design officer.
Kia says that its GT Concept is 4.690 mm long, 1.890 mm wide and has a height of 1.380 mm, while its wheelbase measures 2.860 mm.
The South Korean officials didn't say when the car could hit the production line but the next year's Geneva Auto Show would be the perfect place to present it in a different form.
