I was moving from my house and rented a storage unit from Uncle Bob's, and each time I have to go into the office I am treated with respect, even though most of the time I was a dirty sweaty mess from moving, and Bob at the Enterprise facility in DeBary, has been very helpful. I also bought a bunch of storage boxes and tape from Uncle Bob's and "Bob" was very helpful to me when deciding which sizes I needed for the stuff I was storing.

I want to take the time to thank the ladies that run the Uncle Bobs in Sanford, FL. The day that we were moving into our storage unit, we were moving from Denver, CO to Orlando FL, we were not prepared for the heat/humidity. While unloading our truck into storage my husband became very ill with heat stroke, and my great nephew-18 months and my son-6yrs were also getting ill from the heat. My husband went to the front office with the kids to get some water. After he entered the lobby he clasped in exhaustion. The ladies there got him some water and laid him down on the floor and took care of the kids while my husband regain his strength. I cannot THANK them enough!!!Rose from Sanford, FL

ISO Could Face New Musician Contract Negotiations If $5 Million Not Raised by Feb 3
According to the Associated Press, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra has not yet raised the millions of dollars it needs to fulfill a contract with musicians made following a five-week lockout last September. The standstill began after the ISO told musicians it couldn't keep paying them at their current rates.
Read the original report here.
On Tuesday, January 15, the orchestra reported it had raised $3.2 million of its $5 million goal. If the remainder of the funds are not raised, negotiations with the symphony's musicians will likely be forced to recommence.
The original deal was that a five-year contract would begin if the symphony raises $5 million by the end of its three-month fundraising campaign on February 3. Lead negotiator for the American Federation of Musicians Local 3 union Rick Graef stated the ISO could also lower the goal if they feel all right about the amount raised.
Martha Lamkin, president of the ISO board, said it would take "a lot of hard effort" but that she still thinks reaching the $5 million goal is possible. Many contributions are still being processed, and a $500,000 matching donation has not been added.

Early attempts at snow control involved citizens going to the streets to level the drifts for sleigh traffic.
Enterprising inventors were issued the first patents for snowplows in the 1840s.
In the 1800s, citizens strongly protested salting because it ruined the streets for sleighing and damaged shoes and clothing.
By 1925, more than 17 million cars were registered, increasing the demand for dry, safe streets, even for a snowfall of less than 4 inches.

Time for a tool to prevent any effects coming from them!Did you ever try to run software downloaded from the net on a computer with Turkish locale? I think most of you never did that. And if you ask Turkish IT specialists, they will tell you: "It is better to configure your computer using any other locale, but not tr_TR". I think you have no clue what I am talking about? Maybe this article gives you a hint: "A Cellphone's Missing Dot Kills Two People, Puts Three More in Jail".
What you see in lots of software is a so-called case-insensitive matching of keywords like parameter names or function names. This is implemented in most cases by lowercasing or upper-casing the input text and compare it with a list of already lowercased/uppercased items. This works in most cases fine, if you are anywhere in the world, except Turkey! Because most programmers don't care about running their software in Turkey, they do not test their software under the Turkish locale.
But what happens with the case-insensitive matching if running in Turkey? Let's take an example:User enters "BILLY" in the search field of you application. The application then uses the approach presented before and lower-cases "BILLY" and then compares it to an internal table (e.g. our search index, parameter table, function table,...). So we search in this table for "billy". So far so good, works perfect in USA, Germany, Kenia, almost everywhere - except Turkey. What happens in the Turkish locale when we lowercase "BILLY"? After reading the above article, you might expect it: The "BILLY".toLowerCase() statement in Java returns "bılly" (note the dot-less i: 'ı' U+0131). You can try this out on your local machine without reconfiguring it to use the Turkish locale, just try the following Java code:
assertEquals("bılly", "BILLY".toLowerCase(new Locale("tr_TR")));The same happens vice versa, if you uppercase a 'i', it gets I with dot ('İ' U+0130). This is really serious, million lines of code out there in Java and other languages don't take care that the String.toLowerCase() and String.toUpperCase() methods can optionally take a defined Locale (more about that later). Some examples from projects I am involved in:
- Try to run an XSLT stylesheet using Apache XALAN-XSLTC (or Java 5's internal XSLT interpreter) in the Turkish locale. It will fail with "unknown instruction", because XALAN-XSLTC compiles the XSLT to Java Bytecode and somehow lowercases a virtual machine opcode before compiling it with BCEL (see XALANJ-2420, BCEL bug #38787).
- The HTML SAX parser NekoHTML uses locale-less uppercasing/lowercasing to normalize charset names and element names. I opened a bug report (issue #3544334).
- If you use PHP as your favourite scripting language, which is not case sensitive for class names and other language constructs, it will throw a compile error once you try to call a function with an "i" in it (see PHP bug #18556). Unfortunately it is unlikely that this serious bug is fixed in PHP 5.3 or 5.4!
The question is now: How to solve this?The most correct way to do this is to not lowercase at all! For comparing case insensitive, Unicode defines "case folding", which is a so-called canonical form of text where all upper/lower case of any character is normalized away. Unfortunately this case folded text may no longer be readable text (this depends on the implementation, but in most cases it is). It just ensures, that case-folded text can be compared to each other in a case-insensitive way. Unfortunately Java does not offer you a function to get this string, but ICU-4J can do (see UCharacter#foldCase). But Java offers something much better: String.equalsIgnoreCase(String), which internally handles case folding! But in lots of cases you cannot use this fantastic method, because you want to lookup such strings in a HashMap or other dictionary. Without modifying HashMap to use equalsIgnoreCase, this would never work. So we are back at lower-casing! As mentioned before, you can pass a locale to String.toLowerCase(), so the naive approach would be to tell Java, that we are in the US or using the English language: String.toLowerCase(Locale.US) or String.toLowerCase(Locale.ENGLISH). This produces identical results but is still not consistent. What happens if the US government decides to lowercase/uppercase like in Turkey? -- OK, don't use Locale.US (this is also too US-centric). Locale.ENGLISH is fine and very generic, but languages also change over the years (who knows?), but we want to have it language invariant! If you are using Java 6, there is a much better constant: Locale.ROOT -- You should use this constant for our lowercase example: String.toLowerCase(Locale.ROOT).
You should start now and do a global search/replace on all your Java projects (if you do not rely on language specific presentation of text)! REALLY!String.toLowerCase is not the only example of "automatic default locale usage" in the Java API. There are also things like transforming dates or numbers to strings. If you use the Formatter class, and you run it somewhere in another country, String.format("%f", 15.5f) may not always use a period ('.') as decimal separator; most Germans will know this. Passing a specific locale here helps in most cases. If you are writing a GUI in English language, pass Locale.ENGLISH everywhere, otherwise text output of numbers or dates may not match the language of your GUI! If you want Formatter to behave in a invariant way, use Locale.ROOT, too (then it will for sure format numbers with period and no comma for thousands, just like Float.toString(float) does).
A second problem affecting lot's of software are two other system-wide configurable default settings: default charset/encoding and timezone. If you open a text file with FileReader or convert an InputStream to a Reader with InputStreamReader, Java assumes automatically, that the input is in the default platform encoding. This may be fine, if you want the text to be parsed by the defaults of the operating system -- but if you pass a text file together with your software package (maybe as resource in your JAR file) and then accidentally read it using the platform's default charset... it'll break your app! So my second recommendation:
Always pass a character set to any method converting bytes to strings (like InputStream <=> Reader, String.getBytes(),...). If you wrote the text file and ship it together with your app, only you know its encoding!For timezones, similar examples can be found.
How this affects Apache Lucene!Apache Lucene is a full-text search engine and deals with text from different languages all the time; Apache Solr is a enterprise search server on top of Lucene and deals with input documents in lots of different charsets and languages. It is therefore essential for a search library like Lucene to be as most independent from local machine settings as possible. A library must make it explicit what input it wants to have. So we require charsets and locales in all public and private APIs (or we only take e.g. java.io.Reader instead of InputStream if we expect text coming in), so the user must take care.
Robert Muir and I reviewed the source code of Apache Lucene and Solr for the coming version 4.0 (an alpha version is already available on Lucene's homepage, documentation is here). We did this quite often, but whenever a new piece of code is committed to the source tree, it may happen that undefined locales, charsets, or similar things appear again. In most cases it is not the fault of the committer, this happens because auto-complete in IDE automatically lists possible methods and parameters to the developer. Often you select the easiest variant (like String.toLowerCase()).
Using default locales, charsets and timezones are in my opinion a big design issue in programming languages like Java. If there are locale-sensitive methods, those methods should take a locale, if you convert a byte[] stream to a char[] stream, a charset must be given. Automatically falling back to defaults is a no-go in the server environment.
If a developer is interested in using the default locale of the user's computer, he can always explicitely give the locale or charset. In our example this would be String.toLowerCase(Locale.getDefault()). This is more verbose, but it is obvious what the developer intends to do.
My proposal is to ban all those default charset and locale methods / classes in the Java API by deprecating them as soon as possible, so users stop using them implicit!
Robert's and my intention is to automatically fail the nightly builds (or compilation on the developer's machine) when somebody uses one of the above methods in Lucene's or Solr's source code. We looked at different solutions like PMD or FindBugs, but both tools are too sloppy to handle that in a consistent way (PMD does not have any "default charset" method detection and Findbugs has only a very short list of method signatures). In addition, both PMD and FindBugs are very slow and often fail to correctly detect all problems. For Lucene builds we only need a tool, that looks into the byte code of all generated Java classes of Apache Lucene and Solr, and fails the build if any signature that violates our requirements is found.
A new Tool for the PolicemanI started to hack a tool as a custom ANT task using ASM 4.0 (Lightweight Java Bytecode Manipulation Framework). The idea was to provide a list of methods signatures, field names and plain class names that should fail the build, once bytecode accesses it in any way. A first version of this task was published in issue LUCENE-4199, later improvements was to add support for fields (LUCENE-4202) and a sophisticated signature expansion to also catch calls to subclasses of the given signatures (LUCENE-4206).
In the meantime, Robert worked on the list of "forbidden" APIs. This is what came out in the first version:
java.lang.String#<init>(byte[]) java.lang.String#<init>(byte[],int) java.lang.String#<init>(byte[],int,int) java.lang.String#<init>(byte[],int,int,int) java.lang.String#getBytes() java.lang.String#getBytes(int,int,byte[],int) java.lang.String#toLowerCase() java.lang.String#toUpperCase() java.lang.String#format(java.lang.String,java.lang.Object[]) java.io.FileReader java.io.FileWriter java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream#toString() java.io.InputStreamReader#<init>(java.io.InputStream) java.io.OutputStreamWriter#<init>(java.io.OutputStream) java.io.PrintStream#<init>(java.io.File) java.io.PrintStream#<init>(java.io.OutputStream) java.io.PrintStream#<init>(java.io.OutputStream,boolean) java.io.PrintStream#<init>(java.lang.String) java.io.PrintWriter#<init>(java.io.File) java.io.PrintWriter#<init>(java.io.OutputStream) java.io.PrintWriter#<init>(java.io.OutputStream,boolean) java.io.PrintWriter#<init>(java.lang.String) java.io.PrintWriter#format(java.lang.String,java.lang.Object[]) java.io.PrintWriter#printf(java.lang.String,java.lang.Object[]) java.nio.charset.Charset#displayName() java.text.BreakIterator#getCharacterInstance() java.text.BreakIterator#getLineInstance() java.text.BreakIterator#getSentenceInstance() java.text.BreakIterator#getWordInstance() java.text.Collator#getInstance() java.text.DateFormat#getTimeInstance() java.text.DateFormat#getTimeInstance(int) java.text.DateFormat#getDateInstance() java.text.DateFormat#getDateInstance(int) java.text.DateFormat#getDateTimeInstance() java.text.DateFormat#getDateTimeInstance(int,int) java.text.DateFormat#getInstance() java.text.DateFormatSymbols#<init>() java.text.DateFormatSymbols#getInstance() java.text.DecimalFormat#<init>() java.text.DecimalFormat#<init>(java.lang.String) java.text.DecimalFormatSymbols#<init>() java.text.DecimalFormatSymbols#getInstance() java.text.MessageFormat#<init>(java.lang.String) java.text.NumberFormat#getInstance() java.text.NumberFormat#getNumberInstance() java.text.NumberFormat#getIntegerInstance() java.text.NumberFormat#getCurrencyInstance() java.text.NumberFormat#getPercentInstance() java.text.SimpleDateFormat#<init>() java.text.SimpleDateFormat#<init>(java.lang.String) java.util.Calendar#<init>() java.util.Calendar#getInstance() java.util.Calendar#getInstance(java.util.Locale) java.util.Calendar#getInstance(java.util.TimeZone) java.util.Currency#getSymbol() java.util.GregorianCalendar#<init>() java.util.GregorianCalendar#<init>(int,int,int) java.util.GregorianCalendar#<init>(int,int,int,int,int) java.util.GregorianCalendar#<init>(int,int,int,int,int,int) java.util.GregorianCalendar#<init>(java.util.Locale) java.util.GregorianCalendar#<init>(java.util.TimeZone) java.util.Scanner#<init>(java.io.InputStream) java.util.Scanner#<init>(java.io.File) java.util.Scanner#<init>(java.nio.channels.ReadableByteChannel) java.util.Formatter#<init>() java.util.Formatter#<init>(java.lang.Appendable) java.util.Formatter#<init>(java.io.File) java.util.Formatter#<init>(java.io.File,java.lang.String) java.util.Formatter#<init>(java.io.OutputStream) java.util.Formatter#<init>(java.io.OutputStream,java.lang.String) java.util.Formatter#<init>(java.io.PrintStream) java.util.Formatter#<init>(java.lang.String) java.util.Formatter#<init>(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)Using this easily extend-able list, saved in a text file (UTF-8 encoded!), you can invoke my new ANT task (after registering it with <taskdef/>) very easy -- taken from Lucene/Solr's build.xml:
<taskdef resource="lucene-solr.antlib.xml"> <classpath> <pathelement location="${custom-tasks.dir}/build/classes/java" /> <fileset dir="${custom-tasks.dir}/lib" includes="asm-debug-all-4.0.jar" /> </classpath> </taskdef> <forbidden-apis> <classpath refid="additional.dependencies"/> <apiFileSet dir="${custom-tasks.dir}/forbiddenApis"> <include name="jdk.txt" /> <include name="jdk-deprecated.txt" /> <include name="commons-io.txt" /> </apiFileSet> <fileset dir="${basedir}/build" includes="**/*.class" /> </forbidden-apis>The classpath given is used to look up the API signatures (provided as apiFileSet). Classpath is only needed if signatures are coming from 3rd party libraries. The inner fileset should list all class files to be checked. For running the task you also need asm-all-4.0.jar available in the task's classpath.
If you are interested, take the source code, it is open source and released as part of the tool set shipped with Apache Lucene & Solr: Source, API lists (revision number 1360240).
At the moment we are investigating other opportunities brought by that tool:
- We want to ban System.out/err or things like horrible Eclipse-like try...catch...printStackTrace() auto-generated Exception stubs. We can just ban those fields from the java.lang.System class and of course, Throwable#printStackTrace().
- Using optimized Lucene-provided replacements for JDK API calls. This can be enforced by failing on the JDK signatures.
- Failing the build on deprecated calls to Java's API. We can of course print warnings for deprecations, but failing the build is better. And: We use deprecation annotations in Lucene's own library code, so javac-generated warnings don't help. We can use the list of deprecated stuff from JDK Javadocs to trigger the failures.
Thanks to Robert Muir and Dawid Weiss for help and suggestions!

Colour was pretty but gems too cloudy
By selective shopper
from northern ontario
Purchased this ring as a family gift for Christmas but thought better of it as the citrine stones were just too cloudy to gift. I had to return this item despite the fact that the colour was lovely and the setting unique. I guess it does remain true that "you get what you pay for.." If gemstone clarity is not an issue for you, then you may like to try this ring.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

By Love Shopping
from Paris Ont
I ordered this gemstone in peridot w/gold plating. I received it today and was disappointed in the quality of the peridot. Not much shine, rather a bit cloudy...but I suppose I should have expected that because of the price. So if you are expecting sparkling peridots in this ring, you will not be too happy. I am returning it today.

County offers retirement incentives
County executive, legislature and labor union reach agreement Wednesday
Terms of the incentive
Payments of $12,000 will be made to each employee if up to 100 employees retire. Payments of $15,000 will be made if more than 100 employees retire.
The employee must retire by Nov. 1, 2014.
The department must save at least $30,000 in revenue derived from sales and property taxes next year by: not filling the position, filling it at a later date, or filling it with a lower-paid employee.
The payment may be made into a tax-exempt retirement account at the employee's request.
GOSHEN — Officials see a plan to save money by offering Orange County workers incentives to retire early as a way to reduce the workforce without layoffs.
The county executive, the legislature, and the labor union reached an agreement on the plan Wednesday.
"Massive layoffs are costly to families and can lead to long-term unemployment costs for the county. Having employees willingly leave costs less and ensures that key services can be continued," said a joint statement from County Executive Steve Neuhaus, County Legislature Chair Stephen Brescia, and Orange County CSEA 7900/02 President Sabina Shapiro.
"This is one step in reducing workforce costs, and I am pleased that this agreement could be reached," Neuhaus said.
The retirement incentives are seen as a way to help the county balance its 2015 budget.
Three other Orange County unions — the Police Benevolent Association, the Corrections Officers Benevolent Association, and the Superior Officers Association — have also approved the incentive, which can be considered by the full county legislature as early as Aug. 7.
"Working with the county executive and CSEA, we have helped encourage necessary adjustments to personnel, which can save taxpayers money and is a step toward balancing the 2015 budget," said Brescia.
"After much discussion, I am pleased that we have agreed upon a separation incentive that I am comfortable bringing to my members," said CSEA Orange County Unit 7900/02 President Sabina Shapiro. "This incentive gives employees the choice of leaving county service on their terms, while providing county leaders the budgetary savings they are seeking."
For the terms of the agreement, please see sidebar.

I worked at Giant Eagle full-time (more than 3 years)
Fairly good benefits, generally 45-50 hours for management, company dominates this market and will be around for a long time.
Poor consistency in communication, different level of development and expectations according to what division you work for, and it was highly beneficial to have a very well known last name/relative to help move along your career. Some union areas and some non-union areas...very disjointed.
Clear up the communication channels to give honest and accurate feedback. Honestly, my time there felt like a good old boys club. Not quite the level of professionalism I was expecting after going through the interview process. Training was horrible to say the least.

I have been working at Giant Eagle part-time (more than 3 years)Pros
flexible schedule that is IF you alert them at the time of hiring. Good benefits if you're there long enough.Cons
Workload will increase every 5-6months. raises are union based so basically any and everyone in your department will do varying degrees of work for the same pay.
management is an absolute joke and will always pick favorites. There has never been an instance where I had an unruly, unjustifiably mad customer, and a manager took my side, it has always been, appease the customer in any way possible, regardless of the situation. You get a sense of disconnection, and this creates a barrier between management, and workers.
Most management is unaware of the workload imposed upon you, and will oftentimes nag, and watch you like a hawk until certain, menial things are done, regardless of the literally dozens of other task asked of you daily.Advice to ManagementAdvice

The store manager was often cranky and rude. Dealing with difficult customers is very annoying. Also Giant Eagle wastes a lot of their expired food. Instead of donating flowers or old food (that is stil good) to a food bank, they would just pitch it.Advice to ManagementAdvice

'The Fappening 3': More Celeb Nudes of Cara Delevingne, Jennifer Lawrence, and Others Leak Online
A few weeks ago leaked nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton and many more celebrities were making headlines. People are still talking about what many refer to as "The Fappening." Some people out there felt bad about the scandal so they decided to start a new movement called "The Unfappening." These pictures may not be as sexy, but they're definitely hilarious.
Famous people and their doppelgangers.
Gary Oldman has always been great at the characters he's played but the transformation he made for Hannibal is simply stunning. It looks so real.
Jenny McCarthy is reportedly the latest female celebrity to fall victim to a nude photo leak. Racy snapshots of the former View co-host were posted on sites including Reddit and 4chan
Naked pictures of the Canadian singer hit 4Chan and Reddit today, as the anonymous (and totally disgusting) culprit at the center of this never-ending scandal struck again.
Nude photos that allegedly show South African model Candice Swanepoel have appeared online in the second wave of leaks stemming from the massive celebrity hack.
Emma appears to be the latest victim of the mass photo hacking scandal, dubbed The Fappening.
"Rectify" actress Abigail Spencer was apparently involved in the Fappening in a different way. Instead of nude photos, there are apparently two videos that show the starlet naked, TMZ reported Sunday.
Meagan Good has strong words for anyone who posted the recent nude photos of her that leaked.
New pictures of Scarlett Johansson have leaked online in the massive celebrity nude photos hack, according to Reddit users.
Emily Ratajkowski, the supermodel who stole the show in the Blurred Lines music video, has been targeted as well, with her nude photos leaked online.
Rihanna could be the latest victim of a major hacking campaign involving alleged nude photos that have been leaked online.

Food Friday: Jimmy's Famous Seafood
October 8th, 2010 by Allison Ebner
What better way to get to know Baltimore than to get to know the things it's best known for? That's right. Crabs. And where else would you go besides Jimmy's Famous Seafood to get the lesson. I mean, the name says it all.
Since 1974, Jimmy's has been the nation's staple when it comes to originality and innovation in seafood. Often ahead of the pack, their menu combines the freshest seafood in America for creative dishes, like steak stuffed with crabmeat, and traditional delicacies, like their famed jumbo lump crab cakes. But don't be too intimidated by such a wide selection, they've got classic favorites as well, like monstrous burgers and crab nachos.

Christian Bale Unexpectedly Drops Out of Steve Jobs Biopic
Christian Bale has abruptly pulled out of Danny Boyle's planned Steve Jobs biopic, just two weeks after entering discussions with Sony Pictures and Boyle over playing the iconic Apple CEO. Though Bale hadn't officially signed for the part (and hadn't even begun contract negotiations), his participation was considered a near certainly and his unexpected departure is another casting blow for the project, which already had Leonardo DiCaprio turn down the starring role.
'Fast and Furious 7′ Gets Official Poster, Title and Trailer Release Date
Were it not for the untimely and tragic death of Paul Walker, 'Fast and Furious 7' would have been released this past July and probably would be making its way to DVD and Blu-ray within the next few weeks. But, the release date was pushed back to April 3, 2015 and, after some lengthy reshoots, we're finally ready to see the first footage from the film next week.
'Guardians of the Galaxy' Soundtrack to Be Released on Cassette Tape in November
As successful as 'Guardians of the Galaxy' was at the box-office (and, as the highest-grossing film of the year, it certainly was that), the film's iconic soundtrack was equally as successful. "Awesome Mix Vol. 1" spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and is currently the 10th largest selling album of 2014. You've been able to buy the digital album, the CD, vinyl and even a "Deluxe Edition," but so far, no actual cassette like the mix tape in the film. But, that's all about to change.
There Will Never Be a 'Back to the Future' Sequel or Reboot
It's almost surprising at this point that there has not been a 'Back to the Future' reboot or sequel. When you look back at the popular and successful properties of the 80s, there are few that haven't been modernized. Sony is practically falling all over themselves to get a new 'Ghostbusters' in theaters. This year alone saw new 'RoboCop,' 'Muppets,' 'Ninja Turtles,' 'Jump Street' and 'Transformers' movies. But, despite the frequency of these remakes, it doesn't look like you'll ever see a new 'Back to the Future' movie. And, that's a pretty great thing.
Robert Downey Jr. Clarifies 'Iron Man 4′ Rumors: No Plans, But Another Marvel Movie in the Works
There's been a lot of 'Iron Man 4' talk over the past few days as Robert Downey, Jr. continues his whirlwind promotional tour for 'The Judge' across a multitude of talk shows. He's confirmed it, issued demands, backpedaled, confirmed it again and now, via an appearance on David Letterman last night, he clarified all the recent rumors and (we think?) issued the definitive word on 'Iron Man 4' and his future at Marvel.
Could Spider-Man Be Joining the 'Avengers' in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?
Just yesterday, we heard the very sad and strange tale of acrimony that currently exists between Marvel and Fox, the studio that owns the 'X-Men' and 'Fantastic Four' movie rights. It will very likely be a cold day in hell by the time we ever see the likes of Iron Man and Wolverine pair up on the big screen (regardless of what Hugh Jackman says), but is it possible that The Avengers could actually be crossing over with another superhero from another universe? Namely, The Amazing Spider-Man?
Adam Sandler Signs Deal to Star in Four Original Netflix Movies
Hot off the heels of their partnership with The Weinstein Co. to release their first original feature film ('Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2'), Netflix has announced yet another deal that will bring original movies to their subscription service. The company has just announced a deal with Adam Sandler for the exclusive rights to four upcoming movies that the comedian will star in and produce.
Nicolas Cage's Upcoming Movie is Using Quotes From Satan in Its Ads
Usually when a studio is looking to promote their movie, they'll include a quote from a film critic lavishing superlatives on the movie in question. Nicolas Cage's upcoming movie 'Left Behind' is trying a different approach. Instead of quoting film critics, they're quoting Satan, The Prince of Darkness.
Miles Teller Says Making 'Divergent' Made Him Feel "Dead Inside"
Miles Teller has a movie he's very proud of this year. That movie is 'Whiplash,' a movie about the dysfunctional relationship between a jazz drummer and his demented teacher. He says of all the training he put into the film, "It was, by far, the hardest thing I've ever done." Miles Teller also has a movie he's not very proud of. That movie is the young adult hit 'Divergent,' which Teller says left him feeling "dead inside."
Dan Aykroyd Wants 'Ghostbusters' to Be Like the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Ever since the Marvel Cinematic Universe became a huge success, there were immediate imitators trying to follow that same model. From the 'Justice League' films to 'Amazing Spider-Man' and, heck, even the upcoming 'Star Wars' movies. It all seemed a bit much, to be honest. But, this latest news might take the cake (or donut?) when it comes to biting style. Dan Aykroyd, the only one involved with the original 'Ghostbusters' who seems to want to have anything to do with the new 'Ghostbusters' says he wants to relaunch the franchise following the Marvel "shared universe" strategy.
Who Should Star in an All-Female 'Ghostbusters' Reboot, According to Bill Murray
At this point, any new 'Ghostbusters' movie has been fancasted within an inch of its life. Any actor working today under the age of 40? They've been considered for the 'Ghostbusters' movie. Shoot, there's a chance you were considered to star in the 'Ghostbusters' movie. So, there's no point in going over yet another list of who should star in 'Ghostbusters 3' or whatever it is they're calling it these days. Unless, of course, the person who made that list is Bill Murray. In that case, *in rapt*.
Jessica Chastain Wants to Know Why Marvel Hasn't Made a Scarlett Johansson 'Black Widow' Movie
The desire for (and subsequent lack of) a female-led superhero movie is a hot topic that continues to be debated. Actually, there really isn't much debate; we're all pretty much in agreement that there should be a female-led superhero movie. Well, you can add one more voice to the chorus of people shouting loudly for a female Marvel movie as two-time Oscar-nominee Jessica Chastain took time out from her current promotional tour to support the notion of a Scarlett Johansson-led Black Widow movie.

Belvita hands European account to Droga5
Belvita, the Mondelez-owned breakfast bar brand, has hired Droga5 Europe to handle its pan-European advertising account.
Belvita: earlier campaign was fronted by radio and TV presenter Lisa Snowdon
Droga5 Europe, which is based in London, will create a campaign to run across all European markets that will "showcase the value of small wins in everyday life" and promote the Belvita "morning wins" positioning.
The agency won the account without a pitch. The European incumbent was Havas.
Droga5's work will run across 22 European markets and include TV, digital and social activation for the brand. This win extends the agency's existing work for Belvita – its New York office handles Belvita's US advertising.
Belvita launched in the UK in 2010 and its previous advertising includes a TV campaign fronted by the presenter Lisa Snowdon. The brand has just ended its sponsorship of Capital FM's breakfast radio shows, a partnership planned by PHD and brokered by content agency Drum.
Mike Middleton, the marketing director, biscuits category, Mondelez International, said: "We're very excited about appointing an agency with the creative clout of Droga5 to manage our Belvita brand in Europe. They'll be originating local work to complement the existing USA campaign from Droga5 New York."

Glossary of sports
one capacity to perform work (exercise) of a specific intensity and duration; may be aerobic, anaerobic, or muscular (Mark H. Anshel. 1991. Dictionary of the Sport and Exercise Sciences. Human Kinetics Books Champaign, Illinois)
the fact of being strong and healthy (2006. Dictionary of Sport and Exercise Science. A&C Black Publishers Ltd)
the good physical state of an individual achieved by means of sport training. Fitness has physical, mental, social, and psychological interacting components. In a narrower sense fitness is often understood as "physical fitness". Physical fitness is predominantly based on favourable anthropometric prerequisites (e.g. physical dimensions of the body, skinfold thickness, etc.), good perceptive abilities (visual, auditive, tactile, kinaesthetic), conditional characteristics (strength, speed, endurance, flexibility), coordinative motor characteristics (balance, ability for motor combination, agility, recreation ability) and body experience. Among the numerous models of physical fitness the one developed by E. Fleishman in 1964 is used widely; it defines that physical fitness is characterized by the following factors: static and dynamic flexibility, explosive strength, static strength, trunk strength, total body coordination, balance, and endurance. Sometimes a differentiation is made between physical (as a general foundation) and motor fitness (as the ability to utilize these foundations to produce movement). Furthermore, physical fitness is frequently equated with terms like: health, well-being, balance, etc. Therefore, the following are regarded as objectives of the strive for fitness: prevention of diseases, slowing down the process of ageing, improving professional performance, optimizing the motor system, producing a feeling of well-being, self-realization, and maintaining contact with the environment. Physical fitness viewed under this perspective represents a very complex personality trait, which also explains the emergence (since the 1950s) of the fitness movement (trimm campaign). Among other developments, this movement resulted in the construction of numerous forest, trimm and fitness trails, a large supply of programs for home training, the organization of fitness runs and walks, the development of aerobics, and the emergence of commercial fitness studios (fitness centers). In connection with efforts towards providing a sensible control of the fitness movement, several fitness tests have been developed (e.g. Cooper-test), by means of which the fitness state can be tested objectively; a specific adequate fitness training program can be followed based on results from such fitness tests.

Phrases ending with the word Fitness:
- Fitness is a musical genre.
- Fitness (often denoted in population genetics models) is a central idea in evolutionary theory. It can be defined either with respect to a genotype or to a phenotype in a given environment. In either case, it describes the ability to both survive and reproduce, and is equal to the average contribution to the gene pool of the next generation that is made by an average individual of the specified genotype or phenotype. If differences between alleles at a given gene affect fitness, then the frequencies of the alleles will change over generations; the alleles with higher fitness become more common. This process is called natural selection.

- Outdoor fitness, guerrilla style
A new style of outdoor fitness drags ancient Roman workouts into the 21st century.
The Centurion Method is a new system of outdoor fitness originating from the city of Bath city in the UK (or Aquae Suilis as the Romans knew it), which focuses on natural, functional and health based movement designed to push the average human to their full genetic potential. It is based upon the idea that the toughest and most hardy soldiers who ever lived were the Legionnaires of the Empire of Ancient Rome. They trained, much like the Spartans, with full armour, shield, helmet and weapon, doing long distance runs and marches with little food and exposure to the elements. Their training was hard, painful and designed to make them comfortable with suffering and pain. The Centurion Method seeks to emulate that dedication, asceticism and mental endurance to create athletes and above all humans who can do what they were born to do.
The Centurion Method was created by outdoor fitness veterans Craig and Lucy Fraser from a ten year foundation of outdoor endurance fitness.

Jamie's musings on potty training, parenting and life in general. Be educated, entertained and amused…
The Most Radical Parenting Thing You Can Do
I'm a rebel by nature. I don't do what everyone else does. Haven't for a long time. Lately, I've been SUPER radical in one area of parenting. I think most people don't even think of this thing as parenting. But trust me…it is. You ready? You feeling rebellious? MORE SLEEP. That's it. GET MORE SLEEP. It will change EVERYTHING about your parenting. I promise. I could go on and on about how so many of our kids are lacking enough sleep. I think naps should be National Law for everyone and I think...read more
Potty Training Q + A: How Many Accidents Are Normal?
Question: What is a normal level of accidents? How long should you expect accidents before you go into to really correct them? Answer: This is a great question with a somewhat vague answer. One of the things that makes potty training such a trying process at times is that there really is no finish line. It hard to define the moment you can consider your child DONE. I consider a child DONE potty training when the parents can have 5 consecutive thoughts that don't involve pee, poop, or potty. For MOST parents, this takes about 1-4 weeks....read more
Don't Homeschool! You Can't Shelter Your Kid From The Real World!
So this week, a charming thing happened. Three school districts in Rhode Island received graphic bomb threats that included the beheading of elementary school students. Which of course, put homeschooling in the center of a lot on-line discussions. Which of course led to some pretty stupid arguments against homeschooling. A huge prevailing comment was along the lines of homeschooling shelters children, when they need to be out of the home and gain independence from parents. Ay yi yi. Now, granted, I consider myself a hip, urban homeschooler. I...read more
Rant of the Day: Gluten-Free Haters
Argh. If I see one more article in my newsfeed with the gist of, "You're not allergic to gluten, you're just a whiner", I'm gonna scream. Yes. I get it. I know a lot of people jumped on the gluten-free bandwagon with no clue if gluten is what's making them feel crappy. I get that a lot of folks don't even really know what gluten is. I get that it's become a fad, a "thing", and that some people are using "gluten-free" to be a major PITA. And maybe feel a little special. I...read more
Potty Training Q + A: Fruit and Loose Stools
A reader wrote in: My son is 28 months and we're getting ready to start potty training. Since it's summer, he's been going to town on all sorts of fruit and his diapers have been a bit of a mess. Do you think this will make it harder for him? Do we need to get things back to normal first? Sorry, it's gross. But I want to set him up for success. Answer: Number one, ain't no such thing as too gross or TMI 'round these parts. Number two (all puns are fully intended): great question! Yes, you...read more
NOT back-to-school, NOT the end of summer
This is one of my favorite times of the year. NOT back-to-school. Everyone is lamenting the end of summer and we're not. We'll have another month of going to the beach and weekday camping and hiking and all sorts of fun. There's no scurry to get uniforms or school clothes. We'll be in our bathing suits and pi's for a while longer. Supplies like pencils, notebooks, and dry erase markers are constantly strewn about my house, so there's no rush with a supply list. We homeschool year-round so there's...read more
Limit Testing
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about acting out and what that means with your child. Today, I want to talk about limit testing, which is different than acting out although it can often come with similar behavior as acting out. Limit testing is sort of one of those hot button parenting subjects. I think because limit testing may require another hot topic; discipline. Both these words don't have nearly the power that social and other media would suggest. Limit testing is simply that. Testing where the limits lie. Testing where YOUR...read more
4 Weeks In: No Sugar!
I haven't written about my no sugar experiment in a long while! Other things have taken precedent and honestly, it's not been that big a deal. I started on May 28th and as I reported, there were a few days of crankalicious but other than that I feel pretty great. I had two major events that I got through with flying colors. The first was Pascal's birthday party. Honestly, THAT was easy. This year I took the total lazy way out and booked his kid party at a laser tag place and I let him pick out a crappy cake at the...read more
ARGH. I Could Scream.
THIS. This article in the Washington Post. They call us helicopter moms. Yet they'll arrest us if we leave our kids for 5 minutes. They tell us we over schedule. But if the kids are unsupervised we could again…get arrested. They put memes on Facebook about the utopian freedom of a 70's summer. But they'll drag our kids into family court if we let them play in the street till sundown. "When I was a kid…" I'm so freaking sick of this. I swear it's a big conspiracy to mess with our...read more
The Worst Mistake You Can Make When Potty Training
Many parents make many classic mistakes when they attempt potty training. These are usually minor though and can be easily remedied. There's not too much in the process that you can REALLY mess up, despite what you may be thinking or feeling. I have so many clients who come to me and say, "I really screwed this up." And I'm always like…nah. We can adjust that. But there's a disturbing trend happening and I have to tell you: it's the worst mistake you can make. It can lead to HUGE problems...read more

I am working on a Gnome Panel Applet that displays a pop-up menu on clicking it's icon. The problem is, with lots of entries, the menu does not pop up with the first items visible, but somewhere in the middle. This makes it necessary to scroll up to see the top item (a sub-menu) and the first ones under it. These are really data, not just "menu" choices in the usual sense. Can anyone suggest a fix, other than showing fewer items? This is on Linux. Thanks!

At Monza, in the vicinity
of Milan, the penultimate round of the International GT Open 2014 was
on the calendar this weekend. The SRT team, with Isaac Tutumlu (Spa)
and Archie Hamilton (GB) achieved a second and third place, in fact
this duo' third consecutive podium in their legendary American GT.
SRT will now be preparing for the final round of this international
championship to be held in Barcelona on 1st
and 2nd
November, and at the same time the season's ending of the team's
comeback run by father and son Selleslagh.
Posted Tue, 16/09/2014 - 18:55 by joachim
SRT Corvette team, with their American GT manned by the brand new duo
Archie Hamilton (GB) and Isaac Tutumlu (Spa), clinched a brilliant
victory at Spa-Francorchamps during the sixth meeting of the
International GT Open. For the team run by Patrick and Niels
Selleslagh this was the third victory of the season, and the first
for the new combination of Archie Hamilton and Isaac Tutumlu. SRT now
has insight into the third place in the teams' championship.
Posted Wed, 23/07/2014 - 20:49 by joachim
SRT Corvette team, with at the wheel of the American GT the brand new
drivers duo comprised out of Archie Hamilton and Isaac Tutumlu,
continued on their successful run with a great performance in the GT
Open. Following a fifth and third place in the 5th
of the eight rounds of the International GT Open, SRT is now in full
contention for the final teams ranking, and this as a newcomer to the
series. After ten races the count is now six podium places, a more
than well-deserved performance for an initial season in this
championship. This championship is now enjoying a summer recess and
will be back in action in Belgium at the beginning of September.
Posted Mon, 14/07/2014 - 20:20 by joachim
2014 the Belgian SRT team is competing in the full International GT
Open championship, with a Corvette C6.R GTE. This season the Belgian
team has already won at the Nürburgring and Portimao, with
additional podium places in three of the four meetings. As from next
weekend, at Silverstone the Spaniard Isaac Tutumlu will be joined by
the promising British driver Archie Hamilton, and this duo will take
on the rest of the season for the Brussels-based Corvette team.
Germany the Dutchman Nick Catsburg and the Belgian Maxime Soulet
ensured the yellow Corvette's first success in the International GT
Open, after which Isaac Tutumlu teamed up with the Belgian for the
rest of the season. The fast Belgian won in Portimao and recently
also clinched a podium place with the Spaniard. As from Silverstone
the team will be calling on the services of Archie Hamilton. Patrick
Selleslagh provides a detailed explanation regarding the decision:
Posted Mon, 14/07/2014 - 20:14 by joachim
The Brussels-based SRT Corvette-team and
the driver pair Maxime Soulet - Isaac Tutumlu put the bad luck they
experienced a fortnight ago in Jerez de la Frontera behind them. The
team competed up front in the first race of the International GT Open
on the Hungarian circuit in the vicinity of the capital city Budapest
and finished in an excellent second place in the second race held on
Sunday. In the championship Maxime Soulet remains in fourth spot, but
has reduced his arrear on third place in the intermediate rankings of
Jesus Pareja's championship.

Google Says European Law Does Not Support Mosley Lawsuit To Censor Search Results
Yesterday, Google posted a plea on their Google Europe blog asking European courts to dismiss a lawsuit filed by former Formula One president Max Mosley. The lawsuit requests that Google build a filter to identify and block what Mosley claims is unlawful content.
A report on Bloomberg.com claims Mosley's lawyers filed a suit in a French Court, asking Google to create filters that could identify and remove content referencing "Nazi-themed" sex parties in association with Mosley. A lawsuit has also been filed in Hamburg, Germany.
In response to the lawsuit, Google's associate general counsel authored a blog post saying, "True responsibility for unlawful content lies with the people who produce it," and asked the French and German courts to reject Mosley's lawsuit.
According to Keller:
We sympathize with Mr. Mosley, and with anyone who believes their rights have been violated. We offer well-established tools to help people remove specific pages from our search results when those pages have clearly been determined to violate the law. In fact, we have removed hundreds of pages for Mr. Mosley, and stand ready to remove others he identifies.
Google claims that the E-Commerce Directive already has rules in place that were constructed specifically to handle such content concerns without limiting the freedom of expression online. Google says that a ruling in Mosley's favor would create an "unprecedented new Internet censorship tool," and impose, "an alarming new model of automated censorship."
Google points out that any censorship tool created to identify and block unlawful content from search results would not solve the problem. Not only would the content still be available to access by other means, including following links posted on other sites or directly typing the content's URL address into a browser, but the filter may block lawful content. "A set of words or images may break the law in one context," writes Keller, "but be lawful in another."
The Bloomberg.com article claims Mosley won 60,000 pounds for a similar lawsuit filed in a UK court in 2008 against the former News Corp. that published a related story, and, again, won a ruling in France in 2011, forcing News Corp. to pay Mosley another 32,000 euros in fines.
A lawyer connected to Mosley's case told Bloomberg.com, "The case is very important, not only for Mr. Mosley, also generally for the protection of people's dignity and privacy on the Internet."
"This is not just a case about Google, but the entire Internet industry," writes Google's associate counsel, "If Mr. Mosley's proposal prevails, any start-up could face the same daunting and expensive obligation to build new censorship tools."
