Hello everyone.
I have an app that retrieves information from a web server. Every time that the user launch the app, some stores get loaded at launch time.
I want to make a button that mimics the launch of the app.
I'm trying something like this:
I'm not sure if this is the right aproach to do it.Code:Ext.Array.each(myApp.app.getStores(), function(record) { record.load(function(records, operation, success) { console.log(records); console.log('loaded records'); }, this); });
After that, I need to refresh all the components?
Thanks and regards

Ed Sheeran sought out emergency medical treatment on Sunday after Princess Beatrice reportedly sliced the singer's cheek as part of a fake knighting ceremony gone terribly wrong.
The injury occurred after James Blunt joked about wanting to become Sir James at a party thrown by the princess at the Royal Lodge in Windsor.
According to The Sun, Princess Beatrice granted Blunt's wish and pulled out a sword as the "You're Beautiful" singer dropped down on bended knee. The enthusiastic Royal, however, managed to swipe Sheeran across the cheek as she swung the sword back and was seemingly unaware of his presence behind her.

"The blade cut into his face and it was just a few inches from his right eye," an insider told the publication. "A couple of the guests said it could have been worse and he could have been blinded in the eye, but Ed really played it down."
The paper reports Sheeran was rushed to the hospital where he received stitches before returning to the party.
"Everyone was totally shocked and apparently Beatrice was very upset. But Ed was the perfect gentleman and told her it was just an accident," the source added.

Man this dude needs to take a look in the and see physically and mentally how stupid he is!
I meant that Rod is stupid in a political way! Dont say that Im stupid! Thats rude! (Im just joking)
But anyway that dude seriously needs to have a reality check about what he said last night and what I have heard in the news. (I know you cant believe everything they say) BUT WHEN HE DID WHAT HE DID THEN WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE?
LOL Everybody in his position do what he did. If someone graduated kindergarten believing there exist such thing as an honest politician, they need a serious reality check
I did not really hear what he said last night, this of course could have been stupid, but this does not mean the man is stupid himself. Stupid don't get that high. Dishonest -yes, stupid - no.
I am from IL, and trust me, his craziness and stupidity is nothing new. Last year when the CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) was having financial trouble, and needed a state bail out, he tagged on an addition to the proposed bill at the last second. He seemed to think that since the CTA was not making enough money to stay running without the bail out, it would be a good idea to say that all seniors will ride the CTA for free. Hmmm...does that make any sense?? The CTA doesn't have enough money, isn't making enough money, so...let's let people ride for free. He has truly been a stupid nutcase for a long time. Strangely enough, one of the people involved in his impeachment trial, Jack Franks, is no better than he is. Jack Franks is a Representative in the IL Congress. He represented the area I used to live in, and he is a jerk.
Interesting. I wonder if his stupid hairdoo was getting in the way of his common sense!?

text: New imaging methods have proliferated in recent years and many older techniques have either become more restricted in their applications or completely obsolete. It is difficult for clinicians to keep up with these changes, especially since most practicing doctors have had little formal teaching in radiology. As a result, many requests are received in radiology departments for examination which are either inappropriate or unnecessary. This practical book encourages rational and effective use of imaging facilities, enabling a diagnosis to be reached as quickly as possible and avoiding unnecessary referrals. This is particularly important at a time when health care resources are stretched and the public are becoming increasingly aware of the possible hazards of radiation. The opening chapters discuss the general principles of effective use of the radiology department, the techniques available, the hazards of imaging, and the patient's viewpoint. Following chapters systematically consider good practice in a range of clinical situations. This book will be valuable to all hospital doctors and students in day to day practice, and in preparation for higher examinations.

Appearance plays a significant role in whether a person lands a job after an interview, particularly if that person is an overweight woman, research shows.
People with subtle increases in body mass index (BMI) who are still within a healthy weight range face discrimination, according to a recent research paper in Plos One, a journal that features original science and medical research reports.
The paper noted that marginally heavier job candidates suffered from bias during an experimental job interview in 2013. Researchers obtained images of men's and women's faces from a publicly available database and then doctored the images so the faces appeared slightly heavier. Researchers showed both the original and doctored images to 182 study participants. The participants rated heavier female and male faces lower on hireability than the original faces.
Eliminating hiring bias against overweight people is a cause the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance (NAAFA) has taken on since 1969. Obese and overweight people who are currently employed are less likely to be promoted or to receive salary increases than their peers of normal weight, according to NAAFA, a nonprofit civil rights organization that works to protect the rights and improve the quality of life for overweight people.
According to NAAFA, overweight people earn 1 percent to 6 percent less than nonoverweight people in comparable positions. Further, 43 percent of overweight people report weight bias from employers and supervisors, NAAFA says.
Devay Campbell, SHRM-CP, who provides career coaching and HR consultation services in Pfafftown, N.C., says she has seen the ugly ramifications of this firsthand. Campbell trains hiring managers on interview techniques, diversity and employee engagement.
"One of my previous mentees was a size 8 and was told she had to lose weight to be considered for a role in pharmaceutical sales. I was shocked," Campbell said. "I asked around and people said you have to be 'model-like' to get jobs in that industry. They said it was kind of an unwritten rule." Since then, Campbell said her mentee "has given up and decided to pursue another industry."
"The best way to protect the employee is ensuring your hiring managers are aware that [bias] is not tolerated and let others know that they can report this behavior without fear of retaliation," Campbell said. "You must promptly deal with claims. Although it is not illegal, it is not ethical."
Some companies are deploying a blind hiring process, which can keep those responsible for hiring focused on the potential employees' skills and not their appearance.
[SHRM members-only toolkit: Pre-employment Screening]
"We've heard of some companies doing blind hiring where potential biases are removed and employers evaluate job candidates solely on their demonstrated accomplishments and skills," said Brandi Britton, district president of OfficeTeam, an administrative staffing agency headquartered in Menlo Park, Calif. "While this sounds great and may work for certain organizations, a lot can be learned, especially in terms of fit with the corporate culture, by speaking to applicants in person."
Online skills assessments and telephone screenings can reduce the effect of biases based on physical appearance.
As many organizations emphasize training and celebrate diversity, Campbell said, change is coming.
"Although you cannot erase biases, training and diversity awareness have been on the rise and are shown to be effective," Campbell said. "I have seen a change in one of the toughest industries—airlines. I have noticed more male, mature and not so perfectly-sized flight attendants over the last 10 years and that is a great thing."

In a world where angels are beyond redemption, Alex thinks he's found one that might deserve
mercy. Alex is a ruthless assassin - of angels. Forget everything you've heard about them

force allows them to feed off humans, draining them of their vitality until there is barely
anything left. As far as Alex is concerned, the only good angel is a dead angel...until he
meets Willow. She may look like a normal teenager but Willow is no ordinary girl. Half-angel,
half-human, Willow may hold the key to defeating the evil angels. But as the hunter and the
hunted embark on an epic and dangerous journey and Willow learns the dark and terrifying
secrets of her past, Alex finds himself drawn to Willow...with devastating consequences.

Protestants 'intimidated' by 10ft statue of armed terrorist in Derry cemetery
'Sinister' paramilitary sculpture under fire as graveyard tours considered
A DUP councillor has claimed Protestants are being deterred from visiting a cemetery because of a large statue of an armed paramilitary that forms part of a republican monument.
The statue was erected at the top of the City Cemetery in Londonderry in 2000 by the Irish Republican Socialist Party in tribute to its members who died during the Troubles.
Derry City and Strabane District Council has discussed running tours of the cemetery, but councillor Graham Warke said that while he recognised their potential, people from a unionist background would be put off because of the statue.
"There are members of my family buried in the City Cemetery, as there are many other Protestants' families," he added.
"I know many of them do find the presence of a 10ft statue of an armed terrorist intimidating. A cemetery is suppose to be a place of tranquillity and reflection, but being overlooked by a sinister statue of a republican terrorist adds nothing to that experience if you are a member of my community visiting the graves of your loved ones.
"I recognise the rich history of people from both communities within the cemetery, but it is 2016 and we are supposed to be moving forward.
"A 10ft statue of an armed terrorist isn't included in my vision of a shared city.
"I actually think a lot of Catholics who have loved ones buried near this statue also feel uncomfortable about it.
"No one is trying to deny there are not people buried in the cemetery as a result of the Troubles or indeed the two world wars or that their story should not be told as part of our shared history.
"I just think that this statue sends out the message that the City Cemetery is a cold place for anyone from the Protestant community.
"My point is that as long as this intimidating statue is there, the full potential of this project will not be reached."
The City Cemetery, which dates back to 1853, has fallen victim to increased antisocial behaviour and vandalism in recent months.
The council asked local historian Seamus Breslin to explore the potential of operating tours of the cemetery and the impact it could have on the city.
When he looked at other places offering tours, he found there was a decrease in vandalism.
SDLP councillor John Boyle said these benefits should be the focus of any discussions. "The proposed project by Seamus Breslin has shown that in places such as Glasnevin, Glasgow and Edinburgh, where tours of cemeteries are offered, there has been decrease in anti-social behaviour and vandalism," he explained.
"This is an opportunity for educating people and for teaching our young people about their own local history.
"And after the number of times we have witnessed vandalism in the cemetery, a bit of education could go a long way.
"I think this is where our focus should be, but having said that I do understand where Graham Warke is coming from when he said people from the Protestant community would not feel comfortable with this statue.
"There are issues around that particular statue, but these could only be addressed by the group that erected the monument.
"The other thing we must remember is that everybody has their own way of commemorating their dead, and that has to be respected too."

My dear friend Amy is challenging me to scrap! She must know I need to do a layout once in a while to keep my sanity! I have so many wonderful kits by so many talented designers that I'm dying to use and I always get so caught up in what kit to use and what pictures to use with the kit.............and since I'm a self proclaimed template junkie........I also find myself trying to figure out which template I want to use... Finally after a little prodding from Amy I have completed a layout!! I sure I hope I get the 2nd page done today! I really do like 2 pagers! Oh, I feel a little strange about posting out of season layouts........but considering I'm way behind in scrapping and I felt inspired to scrap some Halloween photos in July; what the heck!
This layout was created with Spookable by Dani Mogstad and the template is by Eva Kipler.
You can pick up Dani's Kit at the Sweet Shoppe!

Life and Salad Greens: a Winter Visit to Sky Farm
Last week on a freezing late-winter day, we sat down with Sky Farm's owner Chris Regan and his partner Ashley Mayne and we talked about life and salad greens.
In this beautiful setting, overlooking the dormant, snow covered fields and the mountains beyond, we talked about how the isolation of the farming life truly fuels the creative spirit.
Chris has been growing salad greens, more than 30 varieties, in Columbia County, New York for over 15 years. Ashley, a writer and musician, became part of Sky Farm several years ago, when the two became a couple.
They live near Millerton, New York, close to acreage where they grow the beautiful greens they sell to area restaurants and in farmers' markets. These super fresh, rich in variety, chemical-free, delicious bags of Chris'greens are always on the list on market day. I usually open the bag and snack on them while I'm shopping.
One thing that makes Chris so different from a lot of the farmers we interview is that he is a visualist. Oh sure, his greens are pesticide free, organic, yada yada, yada, but what strikes me most when dressing a bowl of these greens is how pretty they are."
Last year, Craig and I did an Indiegogo campaign to raise money for our ongoing food films project. We have been shooting short films about real food people for over ten years, and Sky Farm was a story we told when we first came to the Hudson Valley eight years ago. Over the years, the farm has grown and changed as all things do, and it became clear to us that we needed to return to Sky Farm and tell an updated story. The completed short film will be the first of three we produce with the funds that were so generously contributed during our campaign's run.
Let me say it is really different visiting the farm in the winter. The sun was maddeningly bright shining on the snow covered fields, and their dog Loukka was slipping and sliding on the ice as we made them trudge through the snow, take after take, to get support footage for the interview we then shot in an artists' loft overlooking the hoop houses.
The cameras set, we interviewed each of them, asking about life on the farm, the things that are most challenging, the things they love best. It is a philosophical time, winter on the farm, the tasks are different, mending equipment, poring over seed catalogues, and getting ready to begin the more frenetic summer days of growing thousands of pounds of perfect greens and delivering them to the back door of the best restaurants in the Hudson Valley.
Chris spends most of his time during the growing season on the back of his tractor. Ashley is on the trucking side, as she laughingly calls it, driving the van loaded with greens all over the lush valley, to Hudson, Rhinebeck, Woodstock and many others, including restaurants in Connecticut–a short five miles from Millerton.
One thing that makes Chris so different from a lot of the farmers we interview is that he is a visualist. Oh sure, his greens are pesticide free, organic, yada yada, but what strikes me most when dressing a bowl of these greens is how pretty they are. You can tell Chris is a painter when you see all these different varieties, dancing along in the same bowl. Some sweet, some tender, some bitter, some crisp–these greens do not disappoint all those who need to photograph their food before they eat it. And they are tasty, too.
It was a pleasure talking with Ashley–a real delight. We've gotten to know one another at the markets–both Woodstock and Rhinebeck, and she is a terrific complement to the enterprise. A writer, she basks in the privacy that farm life allows to think, to write, to hike in the woods with her dog, and basically weave her short stories. The long days in the van provide her with the opportunity to daydream, to listen to audiobooks, and oh yeah, deliver greens. Lots of them. Too many restaurants to list. I am glad to see their reappearance each spring at our local watering hole, Cucina.
Sky Farm Salad. Yay! When we see this offering on Gianni's spring menu, we know winter's finally over. So here I sit in on a quiet Monday morning in Woodstock, the day after we all sprang forward–and the ground is still covered with snow. But when I go into the editing room and see Craig firing through the support footage we shot last summer and fall at Sky Farm, the green flourishing bits that will illustrate the story told in the dead of winter, I remember. The greens are coming!
Do you miss fresh salads?

MIAMI -- Bobby Valentine wasn't happy with the umpiring in the Red Sox series over the weekend at Fenway, and when the topic was re-introduced Monday at Marlins Park, Valentine picked up where he left off.
"I don't like barking at the umpires," said Valentine, who objected to ball and strike calls Sunday. "I'd like to see a ball called a ball and a strike called a strike. Just play the game. I don't like that idea (of yelling at umpires)."
Valentine went on to hint that it might be time for Major League Baseball to find other ways -- beyond umpires -- to call balls and strikes.
"From the time that people pay hundreds if not thousands of dollars to teach their kids to play this great game of ours," said Valentine, "the No. 1 thing they do is they teach their pitcher to throw it over the plate; they teach their hitter to swing at strikes and take balls.
"When I did the Little League World Series (for ESPN), I thought it was the most criminal thing I ever saw, I wanted to cry, when a kid, in the sixth inning with the bases loaded and his team down by one run, was called out on a strike three that was six inches outside. He couldn't reach it with his bat. I cried for him. And that kid is scarred for life, playing our game, by an injustice.
"And then someone says the most ridiculous words that I ever hear: 'But we like the human factor.' It was criminal that we allow our game to scar a young person like that. And then it continues on. I think, in 2012, it should not be part of the process. I don't think it should be."
When asked if he was advocating the use of cameras to call pitches, Valentine demurred: "I want a ball called a ball and a strike called a strike. Let the humans do it, somehow . . . Our game is not someone else's strike zone; our game is what the book says. And that's how it should be played, from Little League to Cooperstown. To make it fair, to make it right."
Reminded that humans are bound to make mistakes in whatever job, Valentine responded: "Don't make it their job, then. The rule book doesn't say that the game will be played and arbitrarily ruled."
Valentine said umpires are "well-trained and very good at what they do. But I think it's almost impossible to do what they do. So why do we ask them to do the impossible?
"If in fact you can't see the ball the last five feet and now pitchers are throwing pitches that are moving in that zone . . . if you can't see it, why are we asking them to call it? They can't see it. They're humans. We're asking humans to do a feat that a human can't do."

• Hawks-Celtics series scouting report | Series page
In the locker room before Game 3, Boston coach Doc Rivers warned his players "to be ready for anything." He was suggesting the Hawks could pull out any number of tricks in an effort to win their first playoff game at home in a decade. Atlanta did inflate its effort, intensity and focus, but the Celtics didn't look prepared. Huge question marks now exist regarding the Celtics, who know they are heading back to Boston for a Game 5. They weren't expecting that. And that's the problem.
We have to look only at the Detroit Pistons to be reminded how meaningless regular-season dominance is if it's not matched with passion and purpose in the playoffs. And as stated here before Game 2, the Hawks have a huge edge in energy and athleticism. Before any X-and-O adjustments are made in the Boston coaching meetings, the team first must get this message to the players in plain terms. Highlights (or perhaps lowlights) of last season's Golden State Warriors-Dallas Mavericks series might get edited into Boston's film study.
Atlanta made some philosophical shifts in Game 3, asking Mike Bibby to make the extra pass and think about his shot as almost the last resort. It was wise, considering his poor shooting lately, and it worked, giving him eight assists to two turnovers -- just what the Hawks needed. The steady play from their veteran point guard helped to calm the entire offensive attack. Atlanta had just 11 turnovers, 10 fewer than in Game 2. The whole team followed Bibby's lead, making easy passes and taking better shots. The Hawks shot well not only because they made more assists (28, after just 10 in Game 2), but also because they made better decisions with the ball. Getting ball reversal after side pick-and-rolls opened up the entire floor for Atlanta's shooters and drivers. To counter this in Game 4, Boston might decide to blitz these attacks more often, trying to keep the ball on one side of the floor.
But it was Bibby's defense that caught my eye. It was the best I've seen from him in three seasons. He worked to give Rajon Rondo room to entice a jumper instead of letting him drive to the rim -- no easy task -- and he scrambled on defense all game. But most importantly, when he left Rondo, he stayed focus. This was a smart team defensive strategy and one to which Boston must adjust in Game 4. Atlanta often employed what looked like a matchup zone, working to keep its shot-blockers near the rim and not worrying about mismatches, like when Bibby had to defend Paul Pierce or Kevin Garnett on the perimeter. It served to keep Boston from finding an offensive rhythm, and that lack of rhythm energized the Hawks as they scored on runouts, often spectacularly.
Boston must read Atlanta's defense better and more quickly to take advantage of this type of zone and Atlanta's pure "switch on the screen" man-to-man looks. Playing off KG or Pierce in the pinch post when they have mismatches will allow the Celtics to seal off the weak side of the defense and send cutters through it, with either player able to deliver passes over and around the smaller defenders. And if Boston floods the glass with three or four guys, it can rack up offensive rebounds (the Celtics grabbed nine of 40 missed shots in Game 3). Of course, the risk there is it will allow Atlanta to get its transition game up to another level.
Boston also needs to respect Al Horford more than it has. He sometimes has gone unchecked in the paint when Boston has "zoned up" underneath on perimeter ball screens. Both Kendrick Perkins and KG have made that mistake, resulting in a dunk or foul. Finding Horford should be the No. 1 priority in those situations -- his hands are too good and he's too accomplished a finisher to be left unaccounted for inside.
Horford was a larger part of the offense in Game 3 (only about three months late), routinely posting up and making easy kick-out passes when Boston did surround him, or hitting cutters for easy buckets. His six assists added up to 15 points, and his teammates moved smartly after the entry pass instead of standing and watching.
In many ways, Horford already is the best leader on this team. He is its spirit and has a lot of influence on Josh Smith, Atlanta's supreme X factor. Late in Game 3, when Smith seemed to relax and enjoy Atlanta's lead, it was Horford who grabbed Smith's head with both hands and talked with him for a few moments. Smith immediately stopped smiling and plugged back in to the Hawks' huddle. If Boston can do a better job of derailing Horford, it will go a long way toward locking up Round 1.
But Boston also must channel some energy toward Smith, who carried the Hawks with his outside shooting, thunder dunks and everything in between. He still is learning the game, and the Celtics do want him to keep taking outside shots so he's not killing them on drives or on the offensive glass. Channeling engergy toward Smith will be very important if Smith starts out cold from the perimeter and then adjusts back to his slashing game, as opposed to continuing to take deep shots.
Offensively, Boston got KG involved early in Game 3, and Atlanta mixed up its double-looks for him, often arriving too late. Horford in particular made this mistake a few times. Mixing who and where the double comes from is good, but it must be executed correctly.
Ray Allen had a tough time getting easy looks, so some single-doubles or back screening the zone in the first quarter of Game 4 could help him find his groove. His outside shooting can really hurt Atlanta's paint-focused defense.
Atlanta's scramble type of defense might make it tough for Allen to get going, though, putting pressure on Rondo to make plays. And that's Atlanta's intent.
Heading into the season, I didn't trust Rondo to lead this team to 50 wins or a championship. Clearly, I was wrong about the first part, but although he has grown on me (and the league) a great deal, the second part still is very much up in the air. He basically was a nonfactor in his first road playoff appearance -- not a good sign when there are far better teams ahead for Boston. But I think he will harass Bibby and get the Celtics' defense back in control. Atlanta could win if it shoots the lights out again, but that seems very unlikely given its shooting history and Boston's character, provided the Celtics follows KG's lead and come out ready for a fight, because that's what they are going to get.

SANTA FE, New Mexico — A secret city has sprouted in the scrubby hills of northern New Mexico, and its inhabitants are charged with carrying out a crucial mission.
Men wearing fedoras with the brims pulled low rush past women with hair swept into 1940s "victory roll" styles, their high heels clattering on boardwalks. Army jeeps zoom past in a cloud of dust. Somewhere a voice cries out: "Action."
These people aren't toiling away on the construction of a big bomb that will alter civilization forever. Instead, they're part of an effort to create TV's next big hit.
WGN America is hoping it has found the right formula with "Manhattan," a fictionalized retelling of the U.S. race to build the atomic bomb at the top-secret laboratory in Los Alamos during World War II. It premiered its 13-episode first season July 27. The Manhattan Project resulted in two bombs of unprecedented destructive power, dropped on Japan in August 1945, ending World War II and ushering in the atomic age.
The historical record is filled with fascinating real-life characters, from brilliant, controversial physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, who led the scientific quest for the nuclear bomb, to imperious Gen. Leslie Groves, the Army engineer who oversaw construction of the clandestine worksite that eventually employed thousands but was known simply as the Hill.
"Manhattan," filmed on location on the outskirts of Santa Fe, about a half-hour drive from Los Alamos, is using all that as just the backdrop for its story behind the story, however. The series is really about how webs of secrets and lies — some official, others personal — preyed upon project scientists and their families. The dramatic focus is on two fictional characters, volatile veteran scientist Frank (Broadway veteran John Benjamin Hickey) and whiz kid Charlie (Australian newcomer Ashley Zukerman), together with their inquisitive wives (Olivia Williams and Rachel Brosnahan).
"The families of these physicists who were building a device that we're all kind of living in the shadow of — they had no idea what they were proximate to," says Sam Shaw, an ex-journalist who created the show and shepherded it through a lengthy gestation process. "The vast majority of them had no idea what the purpose of the town was. … That was just really fascinating to me, from a human standpoint."
Executive producer Thomas Schlamme, a director best-known for his work on NBC's "The West Wing," joined the project after realizing the dramatic potential. "I'm a history buff, and I did not know the story," he says. "I knew the story of Oppenheimer and Groves … but I had no idea about the story of the wives. I knew it was a secret city, but I didn't quite know how it stayed a secret city."
Though the "Manhattan" tale would seem to have a definitive endpoint, once the bombs level Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the show's creative team says it's still too soon to gauge the full effect of what unfolded at Los Alamos. The war ended, but the bomb goes on.
As Hickey describes his character's irony, "I'm building a destroyer of lives in order to save lives." That statement echoes Oppenheimer. "We knew the world would not be the same," the scientist recalled 20 years after the bombs exploded. He alluded to a line from the Hindu epic "The Bhagavad Gita": "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
Secrets are the real radioactivity on display in "Manhattan," a theme that has special resonance amid the surveillance paranoia of the post-Edward Snowden era in this country.
The original idea for the series was not to write about the 1940s at all, according to Shaw, whose father, a retired criminal defense attorney, took on pro bono cases for the post-9/11 detainees at Guantanamo Bay.
"As you might expect, I had a thousand questions about what that experience entailed for him," Shaw says. "He could answer basically none of them" because of security concerns.
Intrigued, Shaw began researching a contemporary project that would deal with themes raised by terrorism and national security. But he found it difficult to write about that subject without more historical distance.
"Along the way, I did a lot of reading and research about the security state and the military industrial complex in America," he says. "What I began to discover was that all of those roads lead back to the New Mexico desert. The story of the birth of the bomb was sort of the origin story of a lot of the really thorny political questions that we're trying to figure out now."
Shaw soon decided that the best way to tell the Los Alamos story was through invented characters, rather than real-life scientists such as Richard Feynman or Robert Christy, who cast a long shadow at Los Alamos and long afterward. Only a few historical figures appear, fleetingly; actor Daniel London plays Oppenheimer as a slightly ominous, godlike figure. But such moments are rare.
Shaw and Schlamme point to the movie "Ragtime," based on the novel by E.L. Doctorow, which imagined fictional characters whose lives were interwoven in real events from the early 1900s.
"Our hope was … that we (could) capture something of the emotional truth of the time" using that kind of technique, Shaw says. He hopes that viewers who become familiar with the characters will see the parallels between the characters' lives and our own.
"One thing that is really fascinating to me is that a number of the physicists who were there (at Los Alamos) really believed that what they were doing was curing the world of war forever," he says, "that they would build a weapon, (but) it would never be used. The mere existence of (it) would make it totally impossible for countries to go to war" because it would mean mutually assured destruction.
"So we would find other methods of resolving our conflicts," he adds. "It seems so romantic and utopian now, but there is something hugely poignant about that."

Selecting the Proper Dress for Beach Weddingposted on 19 Aug 2013 15:38 by eveningdresses2014 in ceremony
Typical marriage ceremony dresses indicate elaborate materials, intricate types plus a long practice. Nevertheless, today many more people lean in the direction of far more informal wedding ceremony like seashore marriage ceremony. And the development for beach marriage ceremony dresses has been apt to simplicity for your last numerous years. As brides decide on outdoor weddings a lot more today than prior to, seaside marriage ceremony is favored by several individuals.

This beach wedding ceremony gown demonstrates the great thing about the bride as well as the sea of sand and sea gives a pleasant background to accent the situation. If you do not have any thought on seashore marriage dresses, allow me to share some suggestions that you should choose the proper beach front marriage ceremony gown.
As for ease and comfort, ease and freedom that the atmosphere from the beach front exudes, a cotton or linen sundress is absolutely the right seaside marriage ceremony robe. What's much more, bride can move freely in this kind of costume. In addition, chiffon marriage ceremony costume will be a superb option. Just think about yourself in the chiffon gown using a touch of baby's breath within your hair standing on the sandy seashore with the wind from your ocean somewhat blowing your stunning draped costume when you repeat your vows. The beach wedding attire made of chiffon alike can really have a flare for softness. In contrast, a satin dress might be as well large while in the wind and sunshine. Decide on breathable fabrics for humid wedding ceremony area and wrapped up gown for windy temperature.
Also the climate, sand, wind should also be deemed when selecting seaside marriage attire. Make sure the length of your marriage costume permit you to wander simply.

Seaside marriage ceremony is basically a superb notion to acquire cozy, stylish and exquisite and also may be challenging.

1,400 drink driving cases on hold since last year can now proceed
Breathalyser readings do not need to be bilingual, judges rule
Around 1,400 drink driving prosecutions, which have been on hold since late last year, can go ahead following a ruling by the Court of Appeal.
It overturned District and High Court rulings that breathalyser test statements were not valid if printed in the English language only.
The Director of Public Prosecutions had appealed a District Court ruling which found that a failure to produce the other half of a statement showing breath-alcohol levels in Irish was not evidence at all.
Counsel for the DPP, Diarmaid McGuinness SC, had told the three-judge appeal court that the case had its roots in a road traffic prosecution of Mihai Avadenei (29), with an address in Swords, Co Dublin.
Mr McGuinness said it related to a breath test machine, Evidenzer Irl, which reveals the levels of alcohol in a person's breath and produces two identical statements for immediate signature by the person and a garda. The statement would then be admissible under the Road Traffic Act, he said.
However, during District Court proceedings in 2014, solicitor Michael Staines, for Mr Avadenei, argued that the statement produced following the Evidenzer test was not valid because it was in English only.
District Court judge Colin Gibbons ruled that the document had not been "duly completed" and he asked the High Court for confirmation.
Mr Justice Seamus Noonan agreed and ruled that the person providing the specimen "shall be supplied immediately by a member of An Garda Síochána with two identical statements in the prescribed form".
Mr Justice Noonan said a failure to reproduce an entire half of the prescribed form - the Irish language 'half' - meant it was not evidence and could not be admitted.
Allowing the appeal yesterday, Mr Justice John Edwards said the "deviation was purely one of form rather than substance".
What was omitted was the repetition of the information in Irish.
Mr Justice Edwards said he was in complete agreement with the trial judge up until a point. Mr Justice Edwards said the judge erred in holding that Section 12 of the Interpretation Act 2005 had no application.
On the contrary, Mr Justice Edwards said Section 12 would have entitled the District Court judge to conclude that the statement automatically produced, which had been used to analyse Mr Avadenei's breath sample, was "in the prescribed form".
As a consequence, when the forms were completed, they were "duly completed", the judge said. Mr Justice Edwards said he would allow the appeal and answer the question posed by the District Court judge in the negative.
Mr Justice George Birmingham and Mr Justice Alan Mahon both said they agreed with Mr Justice Edwards' judgment.
The court will hear arguments as to costs at a later date.
Mr McGuinness SC said the DPP was anxious to get the order of the Court of Appeal finalised as there was a lot of confusion in the lower courts.
He said District Court judges had been taking different views on the matter.
At the appeal hearing in February, counsel for the DPP, James Dwyer BL, told the court that 1,400 drink-driving prosecutions were being held up across the country as a result of the ruling.
