Tireless Lodz, Poland researcher Roni Seibel Liebowitz of New York has been involved for several years in the story of Vernon Tott, his role in the Ahlem Camp's liberation and his important photos. I was privileged to work with Roni on a Jerusalem Post story about Tott and his quest to find Ahlem survivors - he eventually found 30 of them - despite his own failing health.
The late Vernon Tott (deceased 2005) of Sioux City, Iowa, was with the U.S. infantry liberating Ahlem Labor Camp in Hannover, Germany. Most male prisoners (men and boys) were from the Lodz Ghetto, a town of particular interest to Liebowitz, who handles the Lodz ShtetLinks , Lodz Area Research Group (LARG) and Belchatow ShtetLink.
The 18 images Tott took during liberation are the only ones known to exist of that event. The photos sat in a shoebox on a basement shelf until 1995, when an Ahlem survivor contacted Tott via an Army newsletter. From this chance meeting, Tott was inspired to locate and reunite as many Ahlem camp survivors as possible.
In May 2007, the documentary, "The Angel of Ahlem," was screened at Lincoln Center. Guest speaker Dr. Henry Kissinger was a correspondent with the 84th infantry and visited Ahlem following liberation. His comments and the NPR broadcast are on the site below. A group of Ahlem survivors also attended.
National Public Radio aired an interview Tuesday morning with members of the Tott family; it is posted here. See a narrated slideshow of Ahlem survivor Ben Sieradzki's family album, hear other survivors and view several related stories.
NPR correspondent Susan Stamberg spoke with Tott's family and Ahlem survivors in Sioux City during the premiere week.

As I explained last week, the only Japanese Whiskies I've seen for sale in the US are two expressions of Suntory Yamazaki. Suntory's Yamazaki (Suntory is the parent company, Yamazaki is the distillery) gained some fame in the US as the whiskey advertised by Bill Murry in the popular film Lost in Translation.
I have long enjoyed the 12 year old Yamazaki, which I find to be a good middle of the road, sippin' whiskey. It has a nice malty flavor but has some meat to it as well, so it's not as light as, say, a typical Speysider, but more in the vein of a further northern Highlander, to put it in Scotch terms.
I recently tried, for the first time, the 18 year old Yamazaki and really enjoyed it. It has a nice malt flavor and some understated smoke. If I were to compare it to a Scotch, I would say it is similar to Highland Park, one of my all time favorite whiskies. Too bad no other Yamazakis are available here as I have been really impressed with their output.
I hope the Japanese Whiskey industry will eventually start shipping more varieties to the US. They are making excellent stuff and I would love to have an opportunity to experience more of it.
Next week, I will describe a few of the most recent bottles brought to me from Japan.

The only other Yamazaki that is widely available in Japan is the 10year. Like Lagavulins 12 vs 16, the 10 is more expensive than the 12. I have never had it.
There are probably other niche market scotchs they sell, but the 10,12 and 18 are the main ones.

Thanks Ken and thanks for all the whiskies. Next week I'll report on the excellent Ichiro's Malts.

You would think crashing your blown high horsepower '57 Chevy drag car on a pass down the strip would be bad enough, but in this case it was only the beginning.
The destruction shown above was certainly enough to devastate any car lover, but you'll have to continue watching the video below to see the most painful part. Unfortunately after rolling over on a pass, the Chevy caught fire (video below) and didn't stop burning.
Armed only with fire extinguishers, the track staff at Capitol Raceway in Maryland was unable to control the blaze. By the time a local volunteer fire department arrived 20 minutes later and finally extinguished the flames, the car was a total loss.
Luckily driver Vinnie Dirose managed to escape any injury in the crash and resulting fire, besides the pain of watching his tri-five burn to the ground. According to this thread on Yellowbullet.com it appears what is left of the '57 Chevy will be used as a starting point for a full rebuild.

Binary-less distribution is supported for deployments over a shared data store and involves agents that leverage the Vault-based Distribution package exporter (factory PID: org.apache.sling.distribution.serialization.impl.vlt.VaultDistributionPackageBuilderFactory) package builder.
With binary-less mode enabled, the content packages distributed contain references to binaries rather than the actual binaries.
To enable binary-less distribution, deploy with a shared blob store.
Check the useBinaryReferences property in the OSGI configuration with the factory PID (org.apache.sling.distribution.serialization.impl.vlt.VaultDistributionPackageBuilderFactory) that your agent is using.
Check the Network panel (of Chrome browser) where a personal setup (JS has not been minified).
View the Initiator column to determine what the initiator of a request was. It provides the files and the line numbers from where the AJAX calls are made. Later, you can trace the error handling function and change the error message as per your requirement.
To create language copy feature, content-authors need permissions at /content/projects location.
If one requires the authors to manage projects as well, then the workaround is to add the author to project-administrators group.
Create a language root and language copy inside the root, before creating a translation project.
For example,
Create a language root at /content/geometrixx with name as fr_LU (and title as French (Luxembourg)). Subsequently, create language copy of page from the references panel and navigate to Create structure only option in Create & Translate. Finally, create a translation project and then add the language copy to the translation job.
For details, refer to the additional resources below:
AEM has introduced the ability to log administrative changes for better troubleshooting and audit. By default, the information is logged in the error.log file. To make monitoring easier, it is recommended that they be redirected to a separate log file.
To redirect the output to a separate log file, see How to audit user management operations in AEM.
Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) 6.4 ships with the SSL wizard and offers a User Interface to configure Jetty and Granite Jetty SSL support.
To enable SSL by default, see SSL by default.
What is the recommended architecture when using AEM's Content Services from a mobile app, ideally React Native?
The Content Services are based on the Sling Models and the AEM developers must provide a Sling Model pojo for each component that is exported.
To understand how to consume AEM content services from a React application, see Get Started with AEM Content Services tutorial.
Also, if the developers want to export a tree of components they can also implement the ComponentExporter and ContainerExporter interfaces as well as use the ModelFactory to iterate over the child components and return their model representation. See the resources below:
[1] Adobe-Marketing-Cloud/aem-core-wcm-components
You can opt into usage statistics collection by using either the Touch UI or the Web Console. For detailed instructions, see Opting into aggregated usage statistics collection.
Why the Assets workflow repeats itself while uploading MP4 files (for example, using drag-and-drop method)?
If the user, uploading the movie files does not have delete permissions under asset node, the delete chunk nodes fail and the upload restarts.
Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) 6.4 currently lets you upload up to 2 GB of assets at a time.
For additional information on maximum number of assets that can be operated with AEM 6.4, see Assets sizing guide.
When creating language copies through classic UI, Assets are not moved under the new language hierarchy but used from the language master.
Whereas, when you create a language copy through Touch UI (References -> Update Language Copy), a new DAM folder is created under the new language and assets are referenced from there.
This is default setting for OOTB configurations. You can set Translate Page Assets = Do not translate in Translation configurations.
For AEM 6.4, Tools > Cloud Services > Translation Cloud services.
You can disable the OSGi Component Disabler. To use this service, see OSGi Component Disabler.
As a workaround, you can also manually disable the component either via the UI or via a curl command (example below), after every AEM restart.
curl -u admin:$(pass CQ_Admin) 'http://localhost:4502/system/console/components/com.day.cq.analytics.sitecatalyst.impl.importer.ReportImporter' --data 'action=disable'

Vitalize Nutrition
I am a qualified nutritionist with a bachelor degree in health science and a nutrition major. I love helping people to change their lives in a positive healthy way. I am passionate about the potential to have endless energy and living life to the fullest in a healthy body. I want to create a brand and online business, online and onsite health consulting that is motivational and inspires people to embrace new healthy habits. I will have an online store that will sell Only quality supplements that make a difference and are individually prescribed to suit the individual. I will offer full health assessments and programs that help people to change their lives one step at a time with support and ongoing communication via sms, skype and email. I will be there for my clients with positive motivation, encouragement ,support and my extensive health knowledge and positive attitude.
Busy people who don't feel they have time for healthy changes, anyone over the age of 18 that has health issues that need attention, people who need support to lose weight, those who are tired and don't know why. People in corporate life that are time poor and would enjoy the convenience of a nutritionist who will come to them or communicate via the internet. mothers who don't feel they have time to look after themselves and need some support
I am looking for a logo for Vitalize Nutrition. I have already bought a ready made one but have decided that it needs to be unique. I would like to include the tag line Energy . Wellbeing . Weightloss . I like bright colours but am happy for you to experiment. I am open minded. I would like to project an image of Energy and healthy lifestyle but not too hippy or herbal!
I thought Vitalize should be in an energetic colour such as a bright orange And fairly strong lettering.
I thought about "Nutrition" being more of a flowing lettering that might be inspired by nature. It needs to be uplifting and stand out from the crowd. A lot of Nutritionists and naturopaths are quite conservative and I would like to stand out more as this is not me!
Below is the ready made logo I purchased. While I did like it, I would probably like the colours to be a bit brighter and something that is uniquely "mine".
I am happy for this design to be the foundation for a new design that I will have exclusive rights to. I can't wait for my new logo! Thanks a lot

For six years now, Frank Meyers has been doing his best to ignore the elephant on his farm. Ask him about it—the fact that the federal government wants to kick him off his beloved land in order to build a new headquarters for the military's elite special forces squad—and the 84-year-old brushes it all aside, like the dirt on his pants. Meyers, a dairy farmer for seven decades, is dealing with his bad luck the only way he knows how: with pride, toughness and a bit of humour. "What are they going to do?" he asks. "Bring a task force in to take me out? They might have to."
For Maclean's readers, the Meyers legacy has become a familiar one. The direct descendant of a loyalist war hero, Frank Meyers farms the very same plot of land that King George III bestowed on his famous forefather as gratitude for his legendary service during the American Revolution. Now, more than two centuries later, the Canadian government wants it back—ironically enough, to build a new headquarters for Joint Task Force 2, the army's top-secret commando unit. Since 2007, the public works department has been buying up hundreds of acres directly north of CFB Trenton, the country's largest and busiest air force base. But Meyers insisted, over and over, that he would never part with his portion, approximately 220 acres. In February, the inevitable happened: Ottawa filed a notice of expropriation.

At least 2,109 US military deaths in Afghanistan since 2001
As of Tuesday, June 25, 2013, at least 2,109 members of the U.S. military had died in Afghanistan as a result of the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in late 2001, according to an Associated Press count.
The AP count is two less than the Defense Department's tally, last updated Tuesday at 10 a.m. EDT.
At least 1,749 military service members have died in Afghanistan as a result of hostile action, according to the military's numbers.
Outside of Afghanistan, the department reports at least 124 more members of the U.S. military died in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Of those, 11 were the result of hostile action.
The AP count of total OEF casualties outside of Afghanistan is four more than the department's tally.
The Defense Department also counts three military civilian deaths.
Since the start of U.S. military operations in Afghanistan, 18,795 U.S. service members have been wounded in hostile action, according to the Defense Department.
The latest identifications reported by the military:
�Sgt. Corey E. Garver, 26, of Topsham, Maine, died June 23, in Zormat, Afghanistan, of wounds sustained when enemy forces attacked his unit with an improvised explosive device; assigned to the 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, Fort Campbell, Ky.
�Spc. Javier Sanchez Jr., 28, of Greenfield, Calif., died June 23, in Sar Rowzah, Afghanistan, of wounds suffered when his unit was attacked with an improvised explosive device while on mounted patrol; assigned to the Special Troops Battalion, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, Fort Drum, N.Y.
�Four soldiers died June 18, in Bagram, Afghanistan, of wounds suffered when enemy forces attacked their unit with indirect fire; killed were: Sgt. Justin R. Johnson, 25, of Hobe Sound, Fla., assigned to the 10th Transportation Battalion, 7th Sustainment Brigade, Fort Eustis, Va.; Spc. Ember M. Alt, 21, of Beech Island, S.C.; Spc. Robert W. Ellis, 21, of Kennewick, Wash.; and Spc. William R. Moody, 30, of Burleson, Texas, all three assigned to 68th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 43rd Sustainment Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, Fort Carson, Colo.

Well, maybe not entirely, but even a little bit of loss in this department is surely welcomed by all. The undesired dimpling of the skin known as cellulite is experienced by women of all ages, weights and body types (so try to take some solace in knowing most women have to deal with this super common occurrence). There are a ton of products and gimmicks out there that I wouldn't waste my money on, but there's one thing I would highly suggest trying — Before you throw out the grinds from your morning java, consider using them for a very wallet savvy yet effective cellulite treatment. Using coffee as a topical exfoliant has been known to help break up fatty deposits that may cause cellulite (exciting!). Plus, coffee is full of antioxidants so it's great for your skin in general.
You simply want to rub the moist grinds on the trouble spots (this should be done over an old towel or anything else you don't mind dirtying because you definitely do not want those grinds clogging up your drain). Then just shower/bathe after a minute or two of exfoliating. A little messy, but pretty simple.
You can also add some fresh, dry coffee grinds to your body lotion (about a teaspoon for a 12 ounce lotion) and apply daily to those trouble areas (best to do this one at night because it can be a bit messy). If you keep up with this natural treatment you'll likely see some perkier, smoother skin just in time for summer!

Google will now start including celebrity endorsements in its search results -- its paid search results, that is.
That means the top results in a shaded area, usually a paid advertisement, might also be endorsed by celebrities like Kim Kardashian or Charlie Sheen, according to PCMag. Search Engine Land first reported the news at the SMX Conference East, where Google's head of social advertising Christian Oestlien showed off the new feature.
I'm apparently one of the users who can see the celebrity endorsements as they apply to paid ads. The screenshot above is from a Google search for "kardashian collection sears," which includes an annotation that Khloe Kardashian has endorsed an ad about the Kardashian clothing line at Sears.
U.S. & World
Oestlien said the goal of the program is to let celebrities have more control of their brand. "Some advertisers use celebrity endorsement in their ads. This test extends the option of celebrity endorsement to online campaigns," a Google spokesman told the Guardian. "We're always testing new ways to make advertising more compelling to our users and advertisers."
The idea is that the endorsements are meant to be part of Google+, Google's social network, where users can recommend search results to friends with a "+1."
The celebrity endorsements are made only in paid search results, but it's unknown how much of an impact they will have on users. If Khloe or Kim Kardashian endorse their new collection at Sears, does that make more of an impact than the ad itself? We think not, but it does give celebrities some power over their brand, and Google has been courting celebrities for months now. This, combined with its powerful Google Search, could make Google+ more attractive to them.

Myers in Ontario
Thomas (Wm?) Myers came from (unknown - likely Yorkshire) in 1824 to Sidney/Trenton/Northumberland Ontario, Canada. He married Harriet Burton and they had eight children: Wellington, Francis, Thomas Watson, George, Newton, Helena, Silas, William. My G-Grandfather Thomas Watson Myers married Elizabeth Maharg in 1875, and my Grandmother Leah Naomi Myers was born in 1880 in Gravenhurst, Ontario.
Milne family in Wellington County, Ontario
John Milne and Margaret (Anderson) Milne came from Aberdeenshire to Elora, Wellington County in 1836 with seven of their Children - Helen, Margaret, Fairly, John, David, Alexander and my G-G-Grandmother Christian. Christian gave birth to my G-Grandfather, Alexander Gardiner Milne in 1837. Alexander married Anne Milne (d. of James Milne and Annie Mann) in 1858. And, on it goes...

we've got an application which runs on Windows CE 6. Basically hte application is doing HTTP-Request and displaying the result.
When the response of a request is received it will be but in a stream
After the download is completed an event is triggered which causes an other part of the application to runCode:HGLOBAL dStreamMem = NULL; BYTE* dBuffer = NULL; UINT dBufferLen = 0; IStream* dStream = NULL; BYTE* content = NULL; CHAR additionalHTML[2024]; CHAR* pAdditionalHTML = NULL; UINT additionalHTMLLen = 0 additionalHTML[0] = 0; pAdditionalHTML = additionalHTML; ... sprintf(pAdditionalHTML,"<html><base href=\"http://%s:%d%s\" />",reqInfo->host,reqInfo->port,reqInfo->path); ... additionalHTMLLen = strlen(additionalHTML); //Free old buffers if (dStreamMem != NULL) { GlobalFree(dStreamMem); } RELEASE(dStream); dStreamMem = GlobalAlloc(GMEM_MOVEABLE | GMEM_NODISCARD,size - (content - dBuffer) + additionalHTMLLen ); BYTE* dStreamMemBuf = (BYTE*)GlobalLock(dStreamMem); memcpy(dStreamMemBuf,additionalHTML,additionalHTMLLen); dStreamMemBuf += additionalHTMLLen; memcpy(dStreamMemBuf,content,size - (content - dBuffer)); GlobalUnlock(dStreamMem); if (FAILED(CreateStreamOnHGlobal(dStreamMem,false,&dStream))) { LOGTAG(Error_Download_CreateStreamOnHGlobal_Failed); } ... PostMessage(hwndMain,WM_DOWNLOADFINISHED,ret,0);
And here I've got an problem. The call of MultiByteToWideChar is giving wrong result randomly.Code:BOOL ShowPage() { char* pcDocument2 = NULL; uint uiDocumentSize = strlen((LPCSTR)documentData) + strlen(addHTML); pcDocument2 = (char *)malloc(uiDocumentSize); pwcDocument = (wchar_t *)malloc(sizeof(wchar_t) * uiDocumentSize); HRESULT hr = dStream->Read(pcDocument2, uiDocumentSize, &bytesRead); if(FAILED(hr)) { LOG('E', "Read Steam failed with %x\r\n", hr); } else { wsprintf(bufferFilename,TEXT("pcDocument2_%d.html"),pageCount); hFile = CreateFile(bufferFilename,GENERIC_WRITE,0,NULL,CREATE_ALWAYS,NULL,NULL); WriteFile(hFile,pcDocument2,strlen(pcDocument2),&written,NULL); CloseHandle(hFile); } MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8, 0, pcDocument2, uiDocumentSize,pwcDocument,uiDocumentSize); bstr = SysAllocString(pwcDocument); sfArray = SafeArrayCreateVector(VT_VARIANT,0,1); hresult = SafeArrayAccessData(sfArray,(LPVOID*)¶m); param->vt = VT_BSTR; param->bstrVal = bstr; hresult = SafeArrayUnaccessData(sfArray); hresult = doc->write(sfArray); doc->close(); SafeArrayDestroy(sfArray); SysFreeString(bstr); }
The first call always works. After that it is randomly. It could work ten times but then the result in pwcDocument (a wchar_t *) is containing parts which seems to be a leftover from the previous call. I suspect that something is wrong with the length calculation and so the function call MultiByteToWideChar is accessing memory areas which are a random leftover. But I'm totally unsure in this.
Does anyone here have an suggestion or an idea how to fix this?

Ben Barnes, Oscar Wilde, CS Lewis, and Bono
Movie release dates are very confusing. I thought Dorian Gray was out a long time ago. And it's available now on Air Canada, at least it was when we flew Toronto to Frankfurt en route to Nice. So I thought it had already opened in North America but now I'm not entirely sure since Ben Barnes was promoting it today in Spain.
Anyway, Dylan watched Dorian Gray on the plane and said it scared the sh-t out of him. In a bad way. I didn't like it so much either. Not because it was scary, but because it wasn't terribly remarkable. Having said that, Ben and Colin Firth are not bad to look at for 2 hours.
We looked at Ben's huge head on a massive billboard outside the Carlton Hotel on the Croisette in Cannes for two weeks. It was the poster for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader expected in theatres in December. More exciting however is Ben's role in the upcoming comedy Killing Bono alongside the dangerously adorable Robert Sheehan based on the true story of Neil McCormick who started a band with his brother at the same time as U2. It's being readied for release in the fall in Ireland and the UK. I already know that I'll love it. To see more stills from Killing Bono, click here. Yes Lorella, we're going.

03 May, 2010
From Edmonton to VancouverB.C. Place '87 was my first live U2 experience. We booked with a tour company who told us the seats were beside the stage left. When we got there and received our tickets, we realised we were scammed. It turned out our seats were in the top deck at the opposite end of the stage. After watching the Bodeans and Los Lobos from so far away that the video screens looked like a badly dubbed kung fu flick, we decided enough was enough. We decided (along with about 100 others) to jump the retaining wall onto the floor. Big rush as we made the leap and heard the crowd roar their approval before we mixed in with the g.a. crowd on the floor. We managed to get about ten yards from the stage and watched Bono sing New Years Day right in front of us draped in a flag. The show was fantastic top to bottom.
19 April, 2010
Drove All NightThis was my first U2 gig. I drove north from Portland, Oregon, picked up my sister's boyfriend (now her husband) in Seattle, and continued north to Vancouver for the show. Amazing concert. I've seen many since then (including Croke Park twice). However, Vancouver remains a favorite primarily because it the first and also so much less "produced". Everything was simpler and Edge was decidedly less hi-tech. The band was on the front end of that tsunami they're still riding today. The Bodeans and Los Lobos were pretty weak filler (definitely not Snow Patrol). After the show, we loaded up the car, cranked up Joshua Tree and October on the tape deck, and I drove like hell for home. Tired and fighting to stay awake, I began to change the tape and selection after every song. Regardless, I just about killed us 2 or 3 times. By God's grace, we made it home.
02 November, 2009
Vancouver - BC Place '87Came with my new girlfriend (now wife) on a massive magic bus tour - enough buses left Victoria to fill a mall parking lot; BC Ferries even ran a special concert midnight return trip. The concert was great. The sound is generally regarded as less than great in the dome, but I thought it was fine, maybe because the sound of the Bodeans and Los Lobos was so poor and weak. The stage was great, though quite simple by today's Vertigo/360 Tour standards! A large backdrop with the Joshua Tree image, in case anyone forgot this was the "Joshua Tree Tour". They opened with a superb choice, "Where the Streets Have No Name", and ended with a haunting "40" leaving the stage with the sellout crowd continuing to sing, "How Long...to sing this song...." Many fine memories from an awesome night!
11 October, 2009
Vancouver '87I totally remember that show...even though I wasn't there! There was a group from my high school in WA who went, and apparently one of them made a tape of the show and a copy of it ended-up in my hands. Los Lobos and the BoDeans were support, right? Man, I held onto that tape for years and never tired of listening to it. Amazing show! I suppose I'll eventually get around to doing a YouTube search of it, since pretty much anything & everything can be found there, it seems.

rbmoonI recall this concert vividly, I was 19 and a big fan of early U2. I had been at a few concerts in BC Place and the sound was awful (lots of reverberation), but, not this show. I was on the floor with 3 friends and the mood was fantastic! There was a long runway to the left and right of the main stage and Bono frequented the edges of both sides. When they played Sunday Bloody Sunday there was an electric feeling. To this day it was the best concert at BC Place I have seen (Pink Floyd 1987 very close), I am going to the concert on Oct.28th this year and it will be the 5th U2 concert I've attended. Love the band, love the lyrics and thank you for coming back to Vancouver.

Memories - Bitter and SweetI have just watched this video again, 3 1/2 monthes after attending the concert - still brings tears to my eyes when I watch the tribute to the miners and what a special moment it was when we all released the red balloons during One Tree Hill. Brings it all back - what an amazing night that was. Thanks U2, love your work :-)
10 December, 2010
U2 Brisbane ConcertOMG! What an awesome night - I can't believe it's all over - I laughed - I cried and was overcome by the sheer magnitude of it all. Thank you U2 for coming to Australia - it was brilliant! I've been to all your Australian concerts and will continue to do so until my dying day. When I'm 95 years old i'll still be jumping around to your songs - and hopefully you'll still be producing your amazing music. See you in the mosh pit next time U2. Thank you - come back soon :)

Ain't the internet grand? All it took was a single day, less than 24 hours after Icons of Fright's piece on the botched subtitles on the "Let The Right One in" DVD for Magnolia to issue an apology and attempt to rectify the situation. They will have new discs printed up right away with the "theatrical" subtitles. There will be no exchange available, but the new subtitles will be listed on the special features of the new disc so you can make sure you're getting the "right one". We will let you know when they're on store shelves. For now, if you haven't seen the film, wait!
"Ice Cream Man", the horror flick starring Crispin Glover as the titular "man", is still alive despite some false starts and a lot of time out of the spotlight. That's good news. And when it finally comes out, you can have the mindblowing double bill of this and "I Scream Man" starring Clint Howard. that ought to keep you from sleeping.... forever.
Len Wiseman will produce "Nonstop", about "the passengers of Flight 209 [who are] mysteriously abducted by an Alien ship." Sounds freakin' SWEET. It's being described as a "sci-fi/action/thriller". Don't forget that Wiseman, of "Underworld" fame, also has the "Gears of War" trilogy in the works.

(CNN) – After canceling events in Virginia before and after a major storm swept through the region, GOP nominee Mitt Romney will return to the commonwealth Thursday for a campaign rally in Doswell, north of Richmond.
An invitation to the event said it would start at 1:45 p.m.
- Follow the Ticker on Twitter: @PoliticalTicker
- Check out the CNN Electoral Map and Calculator and game out your own strategy for November.
The bottom of the invitation included information on donating to Red Cross efforts, and encouraged supporters to bring bottled water and supplies to collection centers at Romney campaign offices for distribution.
Prior to the storm, Romney canceled plans Sunday to campaign in Virginia, which was in the storm's path, and instead joined his running mate Paul Ryan for events in Ohio. The GOP presidential nominee also canceled campaign events in Ohio, Iowa and Wisconsin on Monday, then in Ohio on Tuesday.
Instead, Romney said he would partake in relief efforts in Ohio on Tuesday.
Also on the CNN Political Ticker
- Obama updated on Sandy through the night; praised by Christie
- Romney to focus on Sandy relief efforts
- Ryan urges supporters to assist in storm relief
- Michelle Obama: President is making hurricane 'his priority'
send romney back to the cayman,s islands
Democrat now Ind........it's not Bush's fault........but you might want to compare how FEMA operates under Obama to how it operated under Bush. That's a direct result of a difference in leadership ability and political philosophy. Since Romney would basically be Bush revisited.......are you sure you want to go there?
OBAMA 2012. Do not waste your vote on Romney. What a piece of work he is! Guess he needs to keep campaigning since he is behind. Sandy is a reminder to all the people of what a worthless piece of a humanbeing Romney is!
We have a great chance to get rid of the tea party. They are a disgrace. The the blindly bipartest repubs will go down next. Romney is the best they could come up with???
Mitt and Ryan already campaigning , just calling it storm relief!!!!
Talk about suspending campaigning they never stopped , Romney just called it by a different name and like magic it is something else .
He ia using this storm and that does not set well with me and hoping other see this man for what he is!
A very bad disaster hits a major metro city, large population areas and Robmey says the states should handle their own disasters? Sorry to the Southern States and the Carolina's for all the hurricanes coming coming your way. Too bad to drought ridding areas. Sorry to the mid west states who suffer from floods and tornadoes. California and Alaska can forget help with major earthquakes. Hawaii will have to help themselves with tsunami's.
This is such a great idea, lets add this to the shut down of PBS, Planned Parenthood, education for the Arts, and all the other stupid cuts that is going to help no one.
Serioulsy, dont the people need time to clean up? Gov Christie said it is worse than Katrina. Then I forgot, queen Annie said it is their turn in the white house. no regard for those who lost most likely their life's possessions.
Va is too smart of a state to re-elect President BO.
The on the job training program is now over, please leave the White House and return to Chicago.
Considering the direction Obama has taken us I can not vote for him.
I hear that the Romney campaign wants to send hurricane relief supplies... but only to battleground states. How creepy can one human being actually get?
@critical thinking........Virginia helped elect Obama in 2008.........were they not as smart then as you say they are now?
I hear that the Romney campaign wants to send hurricane relief supplies... but only to battleground states. How creepy can one human being actually get?
A complete disgusting lie, Fact! And as far as "creepy". What's "creepy" and disgusting is the lies and the cover-up from this administration in the murders of our ambassador and other Americans.
George W. Bush inherited a strong economy, a budget surplus, and a nation at peace.
Eight years later, he left Obama with a shattered economy, a trillion dollar deficit, and two useless wars.
Obama saved the country from another Great Depression, rebuilt GM, reformed healthcare, reformed Wall Street, doubled the stock market, created 12 straight quarters of GDP growth, created 32 straight months of private sector job growth, got Bin Laden, got Gaddafi, and got us out of Iraq.
And now with the automatic spending cuts and the expiration of the Bush tax cuts in 2012, Obama has solved the deficit problem as well.
Obama has done a very good job.
"Romney set to return to Virginia Thursday"
I'd rather he return to Kolob.
ghtbad – Agreed
ght - what seems desparate is a partys attempt to politicize these horrific events. I think it sheds some light on which candidate truly would have your best interest at heart. I for one would not want Romney to be the one calling the shots...
parties - pardon moi...
Maybe Willard should do some manual labor help the hurricane victims. I am sure the people on the coast could use a helping hand from he that would like to be president.
I was a college senior, about to graduate, and from a small town near Kent, Ohio when the shootings occurred It was very personal to me then and still is now. It strikes me as strange that Nixon won election in 1968 saying he had a "Secret Plan" to end the Vietnam War that he would only reveal once he was elected and that Mitt Romney now states that he has "secret plans" for tax cuts, Medicare, Affordable Care and Social Security but he will only reveal them after he is elected. We have been here before and look what happened when the voters blindly voted for secret plans. We should be very wary of electing officials on the basis of something they won't commit to before the election. Those who don't learn from history are condemned to repeat it. Would you hire a guy who said he had a secret plan to turn your business around but would only tell you after he was hired??
I receive phone calls from Obama campaign real people, I receive robo recorded phone call messages from Romney's people, even one recorded call from Ann Romney sounding desperate.
Romney should be putting his "mouth" where his "money" is, in the Cayman Island.

A student's outgoing voice mail message quoting the theme to "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" led to a school lockdown in Ambridge, Pa.
The Times Online in Beaver, Pa., explains what happened. A receptionist from a doctor's office called to remind student Travis Clawson about an upcoming appointment. Clawson didn't pick up, so the call went to voice mail.
The receptionist heard what sounded like a threat about "shooting" and "school" on Clawson's outgoing message. Apparently, the message was intended to quote a lyric from the Will Smith sitcom's theme song that goes, "And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school." It's unclear if the receptionist misheard Clawson's message or if the student altered the lyrics.
The receptionist notified police, who notified school officials, who instituted a lockdown on every school in the county. After 20 frantic minutes, authorities located Clawson in the high school's guidance counselor's office.
Police took him into custody and interviewed him. It was then that Clawson explained his message was just a riff on the popular '90s sitcom about a young Philadelphia man who goes to live with his "auntie and uncle in Bel Air." According to Times Online, District Attorney Anthony Berosh said that after listening to the message closely it was determined that it did follow the Quincy Jones-penned song. Clawson was released and no charges were filed.
No word on whether he said "Smell ya later" upon being cleared.

Your questions still does not make any sense to me. The discussion was about conceptuality. Now you are introducing other (gross) concepts and thus you are veiling the original subject.
The original subject was the understanding of conceptuality. There is no necessary context of "grasping". The subject was - and for me still is - conceptuality and nothing else.

Following the split of Sweden's Entombed, LG Petrov decided to continue the esteemed death 'n' roll band in a second incarnation of Entombed AD, which he then took on tour in late 2014 throughout Europe. Accompanying them were to be British sludge/metalcore acts Hang The Bastard and Corrupt Moral Altar, yet right before the London show at The Underworld venue, both of the aforementioned names had to drop out at least a day before. The reason was that members found themselves having to be hospitalised, for serious spinal injuries. Mercifully, new support bands were found in the form of locals Diesel King and Swedish retro doom set The Graviators.
Yet while these two offered an interesting contrast between musical aggression and groovy melodies, it was Entombed AD who left a mixed reception by the end of the night.

Your vehicle has carried you over miles of daily commutes, road trips and so much more. How do you decide if it's better to fix up or trade up? Here are some key questions to ask:
What does your vehicle actually cost you?
Even if it's paid off, you've got gas, insurance, and maintenance to consider. Total up the last year's worth of spending on all three, plus any taxes or fees, and divide by 12 for your average monthly vehicle costs.
Does it need an expensive repair?
Just one doesn't necessarily mean it's trade-in time. Two repairs close together may. Ask your mechanic for an honest evaluation of current — and potential future — issues. Compare total repair costs and outcomes with what a new vehicle would run you monthly (see below).
What's it worth?
Enter your vehicle's information on a free trusted website, such as Kelley Blue Book® or the National Automobile Dealers Association, to find out how much you'd likely get if you sold it or traded it in. Consider that number in relation to any big-ticket and typical annual maintenance costs.
Does it feel safe?
Do you worry about your vehicle breaking down on the road or often feel unsafe as you drive? Newer vehicles come with many fantastic safety features, from advanced airbags and better handling to backup cameras and lane-departure warning systems.
What would a new vehicle really run you?
Research your next vehicle. Look at price, minus any trade-in value or down payment, and figure out your potential financed monthly payment. Add in estimated monthly fuel costs, insurance and fees.
Compare this monthly payment to your current costs for a clear picture of the difference and its impact on your budget. If it's just too great, consider setting aside whatever you can afford monthly in a vehicle fund for surprise repairs or a future down payment.

In this lesson, students participate in a Directed ListeningThinking Activity (DLTA), in which they listen to "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe and answer prediction questions at designated stopping points during the reading. Students then discuss and write a written response to the story at the conclusion of the lesson, in the form of either an acrostic poem or comic strip. This lesson works well at Halloween or at the beginning of a mystery unit.
- Acrostic Poems: Students can use this online interactive tool to create an acrostic poem as a response to Poes story.
- Comic Creator: Students can use this online interactive tool to create a comic to summarize Poes story.
- 6 + 1 Trait® Writing model: This website describes the 6 + 1 Trait® Writing model, a powerful framework that enhances, supports, and helps students in learning writing techniques.

Taxpayers gripe about tab for Biden's security detail
The roadblocks are gone, the Secret Service is packed up and the airspace restrictions have been lifted.
But the five-figure tab for protecting Vice President Joe Biden on his fundraising swing through Greenwich and Stamford on Wednesday remains the latest reminder for local taxpayers that political clout comes at a price.
Within the past month, Fairfield County's Gold Coast rolled out the welcome mat for not one but two aspiring occupants of the Oval Office, the first being New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and now Biden.
In both cases, a local security detail was assigned to them at taxpayer expense with no mechanism for the communities to get reimbursed.
"I'm really angry about it," Sam Romeo, the Republican chairman of the Greenwich Housing Authority, said of Biden's visit. "It has nothing to do with parties. It has to do with residents and their tax dollars."
Both communities are still calculating the costs of hosting the vice president, who required a much larger security detail than the New Jersey governor. Preliminary estimates have put the total for police overtime for Biden's visit at $10,000 to $15,000 in Greenwich and slightly higher in Stamford. The figures do not include advance work, which started last week.
Stamford, where Biden headlined a $5,000-per-person fundraiser for the state Democratic Party in Shippan, won't be sending the White House a bill.
"By in large, it's just unfortunately a challenge that municipalities have when high profile political and government officials come to their area," said Michael Pollard, chief of staff to Democratic Mayor David Martin.
On Thursday, city resident Michael Miller, the son of a former Stamford police commissioner, requested an itemized accounting from Martin's office of the expenses incurred from Biden's visit.
"I certainly understand why there's the security. I just don't feel it should be on the city taxpayer's dime," Miller told Hearst Connecticut Media.
The state Democratic Party referred questions on the matter to the White House, which did not respond to a request for comment. Neither did the Democratic Governors Association, which put on the Greenwich fundraiser to aid incumbent Dannel P. Malloy in his tough re-election rematch against Republican Tom Foley. The price of admission was $10,000 per person, with a option to be photographed with Biden for an additional $5,000.
In Greenwich, about 40 of the town's 149 police officers were assigned to Biden's detail, with most deployed to block intersections for the vice president's motorcade, according to police Capt. Mark Kordick.
When Christie visited Greenwich in July to campaign for Foley, six officers were assigned to the detail and to handle crowd control from a gun control protest.
"We always incur these expenses," Kordick said. "There's certainly no recourse for us to take."
Officers closed sections of King Street, the Merritt Parkway and North Street in Greenwich for Biden's motorcade, which included 20 vehicles and 16 motorcycles.
Foley said the size of Biden's entourage was excessive and a waste of resources.
"The chance of a vice president getting bumped off in Greenwich, Connecticut, is pretty low," Foley told Hearst.
"I don't think it looks good for America when there's that kind of fortress mentality."
Malloy's senior campaign adviser, Mark Bergman, characterized Foley's comments as hypocritical.
"When he was raising money for President Bush, and he came to Connecticut, was he complaining about security costs then?" Bergman said. "I doubt it."

Dáme jídlo: Scaling with Google Cloud Platform to deliver more meals
About Dáme jídlo
With its app, Dáme jídlo connects customers with over two thousand restaurants. Since 2015, it has been a part of the Delivery Hero family.
About Revolgy
Google Cloud Premier Partner, Revolgy, has helped over a thousand companies in more than 15 countries implement cloud solutions and adapt to change.
Dáme jídlo and its partner Revolgy built a robust infrastructure with Compute Engine and Cloud Load Balancing, while improving transparency with Stackdriver Monitoring.
Google Cloud Results
- Creates a stable platform with Google's robust network and Google Cloud Load Balancing
- Drives transparency with powerful monitoring features from Google
- Saves on infrastructure costs by providing easy-to-use administration features, minimizing the need for DevOps specialists
Reduced unplanned outages by over 95%
Since 2012, Dáme jídlo has been helping people in the Czech Republic get the food they love, wherever they are, whenever they want it, with just the push of a button. With more than 2,000 restaurants on its platform, Dáme jídlo was the first food delivery app to provide its services to the whole country. The company puts particular emphasis on quick delivery and care for its users, but eventually its scale of operations began to strain the limits of its infrastructure, risking its reputation for premium customer service. When the time came to look for a new solution, Dáme jídlo looked to Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
"Our servers were unavailable for long periods of time, so we were losing orders and losing money," says Jan Matějů, CEO at Dáme jídlo. "We switched to GCP because we wanted to move to a robust, high-performance solution."
Google Compute Engine for stability and security
Dáme jídlo acts as an online marketplace, allowing customers to find restaurants and order whatever food they crave. To satisfy its customers as quickly as possible, it is vital for the company to have a smooth-running service with minimal disruptions.
"Our servers were unavailable for long periods of time, so we were losing orders and losing money. We switched to GCP because we wanted to move to a robust, high-performance solution."—Jan Matějů, CEO, Dáme jídlo
By late 2016, Dáme jídlo's infrastructure was suffering regular outages, sometimes at peak hours. At the time, Dáme jídlo hosted its servers in a data center, which meant being removed from the servers themselves. "Whenever we had an outage, we had to raise a ticket with the data center's DevOps team to deal with it," says Petra Tříšková, Head of Development at Dáme jídlo. "That took a lot of time and, ultimately, cost us money especially when the outages happened during lunch or dinner hours."
At the end of the year, the company decided to look for a more robust infrastructure solution that would also allow the company to scale without worrying about stability. Dáme jídlo chose Google Cloud Platform for its superior performance and ease of use. In spring 2017, Dáme jídlo teamed up with Prague-based Google Cloud Premier Partner Revolgy to oversee the move to GCP and help ensure a smooth transition.
After carefully evaluating the company's situation, Revolgy proposed a migration process in two phases. The first phase was a lift-and-shift scenario, where Dáme jídlo's existing architecture was ported to Compute Engine in just over a month. "We were under a lot of pressure to move as soon as possible because of the problems with availability and stability," says Pavel Krejsa, COO at Revolgy.
With infrastructure now on a stable platform, the project team could focus on optimizing the architecture in the second phase of the transition by replacing its original components with the suite of tools from Google. Revolgy helped Dáme jídlo replace its SQL solution with Cloud SQL to help ensure maximum compatibility with GCP without the need to relearn a whole new language. It brought Dáme jídlo a highly available, reliable, and scalable SQL solution as a service, which not only saved the company money but also allowed it to use human resources for business development rather than hosting its own SQL service.
Cloud Load Balancing enabled the website and mobile app to perform smoothly regardless of the load on the servers. Cloud Storage established a more secure way to store important static assets such as pictures or customer invoices. With Cloud Identity and Access Management, Dáme jídlo could extend and restrict permissions with ease, improving data security.
"The administration and billing side of things has really improved for me. With GCP, I can finally see how the servers are performing, how we're using them, and exactly how much each service costs."—Petra Tříšková, Head of Development, Dáme jídlo
Revolgy worked hand in hand with Dáme jídlo to help the company redesign its application architecture into a reliable distributed system leveraging cloud-native concepts and using containers on Google Kubernetes Engine. This allowed for automatic up-scaling or down-scaling in response to traffic changes to maintain an optimal latency and billing cost.
Immediately after the first lift-and-shift project phase, Dáme jídlo gained about a 54.3 percent better average response time from web applications for end users, and applications requests-per-seconds throughput increased by 68.8 percent. (See Figure 1)
Container Registry gave Dáme jídlo highly available, well-functioning, and cost-effective container storage, where images can be pulled from Kubernetes clusters with a single Cloud IAM account and shared across multiple environments and projects.
Stackdriver Monitoring let the company gain insight into what exactly was happening on Dáme jídlo's servers and enabled the company to anticipate any problems that may occur. Revolgy then configured this setup with Slack and SMS for 24/7 alerting, which brought a new transparency to the infrastructure.
"The administration and billing side of things has really improved for me," says Petra. "With GCP I can finally see how the servers are performing, how we're using them, and exactly how much each service costs."
In addition to the added transparency, Revolgy also built Cloud Ops, a managed service that took care of all of Dáme jídlo's infrastructure care from monitoring and alerting, to support, to Site Reliability Engineering. Revolgy and Dáme jídlo simplified the developers' workflow with a new Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline. This consisted of a fully automated software integration and delivery process that builds, tests, and deploys code every time there is a change pushed to the version control system. "As the infrastructure is declaratively defined (as code) in source control, rolling out a new version of the microservice causes no downtime for the app," says Marek Klos, Project Manager at Revolgy. In addition, Cloud Deployment Manager provided comprehensive release management over the entire GCP infrastructure.
"Initially, I just wanted to make the servers more available and more reliable. Now we are already in a phase where we can downscale and upscale the infrastructure based on our traffic. We're so much further along than I expected!"—Jan Pulkrábek, Head of Product, Dáme jídlo
"Thanks to Google Cloud technologies, we were able to help Dáme jídlo outsource its infrastructure operations completely," says Marek. "Now the company can focus on just building its product."
Scaling up and moving forward with GCP
With GCP and Revolgy, Dáme jídlo built an infrastructure that helps it deliver the best possible service to its customers at all times. Unplanned outages have been reduced by more than 95 percent, according to Petra, down from an average of more than one hour per month to only a couple of minutes. Google's easy to use monitoring services combined with Revolgy's Cloud Ops service gave Dáme jídlo an unprecedented level of transparency and management of its infrastructure, allowing the company to concentrate on its core business goals.
In addition to addressing the stability issues of the past, Dáme jídlo's new architecture based on Kubernetes will provide easy scalability as the company grows. "Migrating to GCP has cut our infrastructure costs as we no longer have to pay a data center for DevOps or extra monitoring," says Petra. The company is currently working closely with Revolgy to identify more opportunities for efficiency with Google's suite of cloud tools and create even more savings. For Dáme jídlo, the journey with Google is just beginning.
