Angle up through the water from the bottom of the pool, as the body floats face downwards. It is a well-dressed young man. A timeless tale of ambition and faded glory, "Sunset Boulevard" begins with a screenwriter bobbing lifelessly in a Hollywood swimming pool, a death shrouded in questionable circumstances. Starting with a floating corpse, the opening shot sets the grisly and noir tone for a tale about the darker side of fame in Tinseltown. The movie goes on to show how aspiring author Joe Gillis (William Holden) met his demise at the hands of silent film star Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson) and her eerie butler (Erich von Stroheim). In Gillis, we see hope, however jaded, ultimately shot down by greed and jealousy. His body's suspension in the water reflects our own suspension of disbelief at this anti-hero's death and downfall. Funnily enough, this iconic moment almost wasn't, as it was not in the film's original edit. Joe Gillis was still dead, but he had been dead for a while before the opening shot. An early version, shown to a preview audience in Illinois, began in a morgue. As each of the corpses explained how they ended up there through voice-overs, the audience members roared with laughter. Clearly, it wasn't working. Director-screenwriter Billy Wilder and producer-screenwriter Charles Brackett went back to the drawing board. Lucky for us, the opening shot we all know and slightly shudder at was added and well-received by another preview audience in Poughkeepsie, New York.
Those turning up to Paul Thomas Anderson's Great American Novel of a masterpiece inspired by its name, reminiscent of a horror movie tagline, and hoping for some gore would likely have been bitterly disappointed. Still, Anderson's true to his word, come the film's conclusion. The epilogue, set many years after much of the film, sees Daniel Day-Lewis' Daniel Plainview, now wealthy and drunk, finally reject his son H.W, who's off to marry his sweetheart. Now with nothing left to keep him human (if he ever was), he's visited by his old adversary Eli (Paul Dano), who's in need of money, and offers to broker a deal for the last piece of land that Plainview needs. But the older man, after humiliating his nemesis by forcing him to call God a superstition, reveals that he's actually long since drained the oil from the property in question, and then attacks Eli. It's pretty funny, at least at first, as Day-Lewis chases Dano around his private bowling alley like a pair of children, flinging a bowling ball at him ineffectually. But then he catches him, and it's not so funny anymore: grabbing a wooden pin, he then beats Eli to death with it. As the oil-like plasma bleeds from the preacher's head, Plainview simply sits down, and tells his butler, "I'm finished."
In the classic film, James Cagney stars as criminal gang leader Cody Jarrett. The character is cruel and ruthless, but still has a soft spot, albeit an over-attachment, for his mother. We discover that Jarrett suffers from debilitating headaches and what does good ol' Ma do to help him? Get him some Tylenol and a cold compress? Maybe seek some psychiatric help considering the family history of insanity? Nah, she slings him a shot of whiskey and toasts "Top of the World". This was a ticking time bomb. While in jail, Garrett finds out Ma has died and flips his lid. After being dragged to the prison infirmary, he takes hostages and manages to escape. Eventually, the police catch up with him as he attempts to rob a California chemical plant. The place is surrounded. The police call him to surrender. His henchmen are dropping down like flies, being shot at by both sides. Jarrett flees, only to end up at the top of a gas tank. After being shot a few times, Jarrett takes his death into his own hands and shoots at the gas tank. His last words are "Made it, Ma! Top of the world!" And then Jarrett leaves this world in an explosion of flame that could have come from the depths of hell -- where he is undoubtedly heading.
Firstly, a giant wicker spoiler alert for those who have not seen the movie that is frequently cited as being "the 'Citizen Kane' of horror movies," one that has influenced things that are incredibly great (like Ben Wheatley's indescribable and terrifying "Kill List") and things that are not (the painful Nic Cage remake). "The Wicker Man" concerns a faithfully religious policeman (Edward Woodward) who goes to investigate a missing young girl on an island. It's an island run by a charismatic cult leader (British horror icon Christopher Lee), who leads a pagan group with an ideology even more out-of-step with modern society than most religions. Eventually, his investigation leads him to the conclusion that the cult is dangerous and even deadly. Of course, the clues add up a little too late – and in one of the most shocking deaths (and endings) in movie history, the policeman is locked inside the titular, sculptural wicker man, where he is promptly burned alive. It's an incredibly bold (and amazingly bleak) conclusion – and one that is totally, utterly unforgettable. And all without a single drop of blood.
Thoughts? Your favorites? Ones that are conspicuously missing? Annoyed that Hans Gruber's slo-mo, free-fall death in "Die Hard" isn't included? Maybe Marvin in the back of the car in "Pulp Fiction"? Sound off below.

FCS foes are weak, not cheap
Southern Utah will receive $200,000 for game at SDSU
Thirty-eight different major college football teams opened the season last week with the same general idea. They wanted the equivalent of an automatic victory.
So they scheduled a game against an opponent from the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), which has fewer scholarships, fewer financial resources and smaller, slower players.
As expected, Goliath beat David in 35 of these 38 matchups (92 percent). The average margin of victory was 27 points.
"This is nothing short of a scam," said Jay Christensen, proprietor of the popular college football blog Thewizofodds.com . "Coaches are making millions of dollars and would schedule 12 creampuff games if they could get away with it."
Even though these games are not very appealing to fans, bringing in these supposed lambs for slaughter has become increasingly common after an NCAA rule change in 2005. The demand has driven up their price to the point that San Diego State is paying $200,000 to Southern Utah to play the Aztecs Saturday at Qualcomm Stadium.
"Those schools are figuring out that if they're going to come play you, they're looking for a good pay day," SDSU Athletic Director Jeff Schemmel said.
The money helps numb their many other disadvantages. For example, Southern Utah and other FCS schools are limited to 63 scholarships. SDSU and other major college teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) are limited to 85. By the same token, Southern Utah's football program had $544,523 in operating expenses last year. SDSU's had $1,526,027.
Call it a mismatch, but it works for both schools. Southern Utah Athletic Director Ken Beazer acknowledges that FBS schools view games against his school as a "tuneup" but said the money can be too good to pass up.
"We also use it in recruiting," Beazer said. "Recruits really like the idea of playing the FBS schools."
For SDSU, the benefit is a game at home and an increased chance to make progress toward the minimum six wins needed to land a postseason bowl berth, its first since 1998.
"Without the ability to play FCS schools, there might be less bowl-eligible (FBS) teams," Schemmel said. "The goal is to get to bowl games and build momentum that way, so I think it's a good thing."
It's become such a popular scheduling strategy for FBS teams that FCS athletic directors' phones frequently ring with offers. As a result, their fees have gone up. SDSU paid $150,000 to bring in one of the best teams of the FCS last year — Cal Poly, which beat SDSU 29-27. Southern Utah finished 0-11 in 2007 but could demand even more money from SDSU this season.
FCS powerhouse Appalachian State even received $550,000 to play at Louisiana State last year. LSU won 41-13.
Overall, FBS teams played 87 games against FCS teams last season, winning all but two.
But such games weren't always this common. In 2004, there were only 48 such games. That's because before 2005, they didn't help them get into bowl games more than once every four years. That was the rule: Once every four years, major college teams "may count one victory against an (FCS) opponent toward the six-win minimum" for postseason bowl eligibility.
Then on June 23, 2005, the NCAA changed "once every four years" to "each year." The only requirement was that the FCS opponent be a full scholarship program. NCAA membership did so because they said it provided "significant enhancement" for FCS teams and it would help increase the number of bowl-eligible FBS teams. An increase in the number of bowl-eligible teams was deemed necessary after the NCAA increased the number of bowl games from 28 in 2005 to 34 now.

Robert Allen launches new hues with Maison&Objet debut
UpholsteryJournalMag.com | January 16, 2013
Robert Allen is starting 2013 with its Maison&Objet debut. Through the introduction of its 2013 Spring Color Library collection, the brand is showcasing its color and vision for the future of design. The collection's colors draw inspiration from the saturated tones found in an artist's pure pigments. New introductions Turquoise, Cobalt, Fuchsia and Viridian will take the stage for the Maison launch.
"The cornerstone of the Robert Allen brand is color," notes CEO Philip Kowalczyk. "This collection marks the 30th year of Color Library introductions, showcasing our long-term dedication to being at the forefront of color."
A luscious and vibrant green, Viridian recalls the deep spring green used by artists like de Kooning and Van Gogh. Viridian stems from the Latin word "viridis," meaning "green," and was first recorded as a color name in 1860s England. This shade falls in line with current trends but maintains a classic and livable tone.
"This collection reflects two key trends - tone on tone and pattern on pattern," remarks Robert Allen Vice President of Design Christy Almond, "Viridian is a punchy green that's perfectly in tune with the current bold and bright design aesthetic you find in cutting-edge interiors and on today's runways. It is unexpected, yet easy to understand."
With the addition of Turquoise, a gemstone green-cast blue, and Cobalt, a take on a traditional blue with roots in ceramics, Viridian can be mixed to create a lush space of blue hues. When paired with Fuchsia, a pink harkening to summer flowers and modern art, Viridian allows for a pop of color in a combination.
The line includes statement designs and unique coordinates that encourage pattern-on-pattern mixing for practical canvas, velvet and linen solids.

Farther Than the Eye Can See: Basma Alsharif
Starts: Sun, 18 March 2012, 07:00 p.m.
Ends: Wed, 18 July 2012, 08:00 p.m.
Location: Sharjah Art Foundation
Street: Bait Al Shamsi, Arts Area, Heart of Sharjah
Basma Alsharif's work explores how we relate to and internalise the geo-political shifts that occur within our lifetimes and those we carry with us from past generations. Through experimentation with multiple media in single channel and video installations, she uses the anonymous individual as a vehicle for navigating through political history and collective memory.
Alsharif is interested in how near and far away geo-political issues affect us physically and/or emotionally; how they can simultaneously affect us just as easily as we can disregard them. Using visual codes that weave us through forests of a carefully selected range of materials, her aim is to decentralize place, content, and medium. There is never one point of focus in her work but instead an attempt to create spaces where facts, numbers, photographs, songs, language etc become interchangeable and ultimately manifest as information to be experienced rather than understood.
Farther than the Eye Can See is a new multi-channel video installation developed during Alsharif's 2011 Sharjah Art Foundation Residency that uses a story from the past to question what lies ahead in the future.
Basma Alsharif was awarded a Jury Prize at the Sharjah Biennial 9 for her 2009 video work We Began By Measuring Distance. She received an MFA from the School of Art and Design at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2007 and works between Cairo, Beirut, Amman, Sharjah and Chicago. Her work has shown in exhibitions and film festivals internationally.
Farther than the Eye Can See was commissioned by Sharjah Art Foundation and co-produced with the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture.
Please note that this exhibition will take place in Bait Al Shamsi, Arts Area, Heart of Sharjah

How to Create the Next BIG App!
Have you ever had an amazing idea for an App and were overwhelmed with the idea of getting started? When I decided it was time to build an App for my business
Moms Pump Here started with a passion and an idea. It is and was the only online GPS tool for moms to find, rate and share nursing room locations to breastfeed and breast pump in the United States. Because of our own personal experiences as professional women who had to breastfeed or breast pump in the oddest, uncomfortable or dirtiest places and we were not alone, other women were experiencing the same things. We knew we had to do something about it. With some market research and tons of brainstorming we enlisted my husband, who runs a digital media company, to build the website and mobile web with the intention to eventually turn our database of locations into an Application (App).

The Denver Nuggets' Danilo Galinari's circus shot Tuesday night against the Milwaukee Bucks went from "shot of the century" to "shot of the year" in mere seconds, according to the Mile High broadcast crew.
And, yet, the big man coach George Karl calls his team's best player on almost any night put up a memorable shot to draw the foul in Denver's 112-104 victory. Gallinari's shot pushed the Nuggets to 110 points, which reduced taco prices to only $.25 for fans.
Shot of the century? Shot of the year? Or just really fun.

I stopped in to a liquor store in Eagan, MN yesterday, to pick up some Scotch. My favorite swill, Clan McGreggor. They had liters for $12.99 or 1.75 liter for $26.99. Say What?!? Bought a small bottle.
Worked at the client's last night from 6:00 – 11:30. Drove home in wet, sloppy, snow, but safely. Had a couple of scotches while watching TV, until suddenly all the channels went away. Called the front desk. "Oh, it must be because of the storm." said the gormless twit behind the desk. Ha, Storm?!? This is ef-ing Minnesota, and a little teeny snow storm knocks out their satellite feed?? No excuse if you ask me.
Drove down to Kansas City today. Currently ensconced in the Holiday Inn at the Country Club Plaza, which if you know KC you know is a tony address. The Nelson-Atkins is just a short walk away.
Speaking of arts museums, went to the Walker yesterday. Had to pay the $12, as I left my MAM membership at home (grrr). Great new building — much different than the last time I was there, maybe 20 years ago. Had a huge exhibit on Cindy Sherman. WOW! Did you read the profile of Lena Dunham's mother, the artist Laurie Simmons, in the New Yorker recently? In it, they talked about her knocking around Metro Pictures and other "in" galleries in the 70s & 80s, and she talked about learning to make good looking prints, and what a change that made to her work. Well, the same can be said for Sherman, a regular member of the Metro Pictures stable of artists. Her "Hollywood Film Stills" project is amazing, and the later, larger, work is simply arresting. So glad I got to see the show.
They also have a large installation called Midnight Party, which is a sprawling conglomeration of hundreds of works by over a hundred artsists, mostly pulled from their collection, and arranged brilliantly across several galleries on 3 floors. Some rooms are given over to curio-cabinet style displays, like a natural history museum, but all art. Quite good.
My only complaint was that the lighting, in general, was abysmal. Very hard to appreciate some of the work for all the glare.
I just got home from a fabulous dinner at Oklahoma Joe's Bar-B-Que, in KC, KS. Here's about 1/4 of the line of people waiting to order:
That line twists and turns all the way to the street door. If it weren't Valentine's Day, I was told, the line would be out the door and down the block. Thank God I was dining alone on V Day, I say!
Here's my dinner. I ordered a full rack with a side of coleslaw. The grill man hollered out, "Special Creamy!!" I almost blushed. 😉
That's either mighty fine eatin', or a piece of Christopher Dorner. You be the judge!
This nice older couple came and sat next to me. Had a nice little conversation with them until the woman explained, "I talk to two kinds of people in this world; those who have accepted Jesus Christ Our Lord into their lives and hearts, and those who are just about ready to. Which type are you?"
"I'm the type who doesn't believe in discussing religion with strangers over dinner." I replied, and turned back to my food. What I wanted to say was something witty, like "If we're going to discuss deeply personal and private matters, let's talk about masturbation habits, instead. I'm sure it'll be way more interesting!" 😉
Now back at the hotel, after trying to navigate dense, cryptic KC traffic and roadways without GPS. I was currently busy trying not to run down the horse drawn carriages that look like Tiffany Pumpkins festooned with garish lighting, slowly ferrying their cargo through the self-same cryptic streets. Thank god the other drivers were so busy gawking that they ignore my severe traffic transgressions.convert this post to pdf.

Some of today's brides want to feel as though they're living their impression of what a Victorian wedding might have been like, and thus they go in search of Victorian wedding dresses. What they find is that, the dresses are glamorous, and their wedding ends up exactly how they always imagined it might.
One misconception about Victorian wedding dresses is that they were all white. In reality, until the wedding of Queen Victoria, most wedding dresses were anything but white. Though white was considered the color if one came from a family of means, wedding dress colors often depended not only on one's social status, but also what a bride was hoping to represent for her wedding. For instance, very young brides used to wear light green, which signified fertility. Blue was also a favorite wedding color, because it meant brides felt that they were marrying their true love. Many dresses were brown and black because those types of fabrics were easiest to obtain. But brides also wore other colors, signifying things both happy and sad, if they had the money.
Victorian wedding dresses had fitted bodices that lifted the breasts, formed a very small waist, and had full skirts over hoops and petticoats. They wore veils and hairpieces of fine gauze or other sheer materials that almost always went at least the length of the floor. They would have all sorts of tatting, which many know as knotted lace patterns, and were very elaborate in style. The fancier wedding dresses could be made out of tulle, lace, silk, linen or cashmere.
For those brides who didn't have the money during the Victorian period, it wasn't unusual for them to have linen or wool dresses in lots of different colors, including plaids. Instead of veils, they'd wear shawls, which were actually preferred because they could always use the shawls again. As a matter of fact, only the rich never used their wedding gowns again. Everyone else would cut up and re-stitch their wedding dresses so they could be used for everyday purposes afterwards.
Today's brides, however, see the Victorian period as one of regality and elegance, and thus the craving for Victorian wedding dresses. These days, most Victorian wedding dresses are going to be white, have lots of embroidery, and be very modest. No cleavage in a Victorian wedding dress, but brides will definitely have a shape while wearing one. And it will bring something very special to their wedding.

World-historical questions such as these, the subjects of major works by Jared Diamond, David Landes, and others, are now of great moment as global frictions increase. In a spirited and original contribution to this quickening discussion, two renowned historians, father and son, explore the webs that have drawn humans together in patterns of interaction and exchange, cooperation and competition, since earliest times. Whether small or large, loose or dense, these webs have provided the medium for the movement of ideas, goods, power, and money within and across cultures, societies, and nations. From the thin, localized webs that characterized agricultural communities twelve thousand years ago, through the denser, more interactive metropolitan webs that surrounded ancient Sumer, Athens, and Timbuktu, to the electrified global web that today envelops virtually the entire world in a maelstrom of cooperation and competition, J. R. McNeill and William H. McNeill show human webs to be a key component of world history and a revealing framework of analysis. Avoiding any determinism, environmental or cultural, the McNeills give us a synthesizing picture of the big patterns of world history in a rich, open-ended, concise account.

The correlation coefficient can be larger than 1 (r>1).
In recent discussion, the correlation coefficient has been mentioned several times. This led me to remember a buried article published years ago in Eur J Drug Metab Pharmacokinet 2003; 28: 85-92, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/quer ... med_docsum.
This article, entitled "An extremely strange observation on the equations for calculation of correlation coefficient", shows that the correlation coefficient can be larger than 1. A reprint is available by emailing [email protected].

As our Sun has been in the news, this week ….
……. this post, from last year, has been updated ….
""A giant "hole" covering nearly a quarter of the Sun's atmospheric surface has been caught on camera by a Nasa telescope.– The darker section at the top of the Sun in the above video is a coronal hole – part of the star's atmosphere where its magnetic field bursts open and spurts streams of solar material out into space. It appears as a dark "hole" on the surface of the sun because the process makes its atmosphere cooler and less dense than those around it.""" — Daily Telegraph LINK

Don arrives at the office where he is immediately greeted by Stan, who wants in on the Sunkist account. The job would require a move to Los Angeles, which Stan is hopeful can flourish into a new branch of the agency which he will spearhead. Don tries to talk him out of it, viewing it as a demotion with a lot of risk attached if Stan fails, but Stan is undeterred.
Outside Roger's office, he concludes a meeting with his son-in-law and daughter, who invites him out for lunch. Her husband had been trying to talk Roger into investing in his business, but when Roger won't bite Margaret flies off the handle, asking what she has to do to get on the list of women he gives money to. She storms off and her husband apologizes on her behalf. In Don's office, Ken and Cutler enter to see if he would be interested in pursuing Hershey's as a client, seeing it as another potential cash cow. Downstairs, Pete returns from Detroit and runs into Roger, letting him know of his and Bob's success on the trip. Roger spots Bob talking to Joan. Bob brought back a model car for Joan's son, prompting Roger to get jealous and make an awkward joke.
That evening at the Draper apartment, Megan brings Don a letter which might force Sally to testify to the D.A. regarding the burglary. Don looks at the letter with a worried expression, promising to talk to Sally as soon as possible. The next day, Roger arrives at his office still in a mood regarding Bob and Joan when Bob abruptly comes in. Roger berates Bob under the guise of a performance review, insinuating that Bob is having an affair with Joan. Bob is apologetic but confused, thanking Roger for his candor.
Don has an awkward phone conversation with Sally, who is still upset with him after witnessing his adultery. He relays the contents of the letter, but she flippantly tells him her calendar is full and she can't testify. He tells her it's the law, and she coldly responds that she would hate to do anything 'immoral' before hanging up on him. Back at the office, Cutler calls a busy Ted to a meeting with a client, saying that they can't find Don anywhere. Don has returned to licking his wounds at a local bar, drinking heavily as a man attempts to preach religion to him. Don tries to brush the preacher off to no avail. He dreams of his childhood, his father throwing out another devout man from their household as young Don looks on. Don awakens in the drunk tank after evidently punching the preacher when he wouldn't leave him alone.
At the office, much of the staff is heading home for Thanksgiving. Peggy sees Ted leaving with his wife and sons, and Ted gives her the cold shoulder when she tries to say hello. Elsewhere, Pete is shocked to receive an emergency telegram that his mother fell overboard during her cruise with Manolo.
Don is still in shambles at the apartment the next morning. He tells Megan he spent the night in jail and it made him realize he is out of control. He sees it as a wake up call to get out of New York, telling Megan he wants to move to California. Megan can pursue opportunities in Hollywood while Don heads up the Sunkist account, taking Stan's idea to set up a satellite office for the firm. Megan cries as Don tells her he just wants them to be happy like they were before. The next morning, the agency partners gather to learn of Don's decision, thoroughly confused that he is taking a substantial step backward in his career. Ted is annoyed that Don made the decision without them, seeing it as another case of Don doing things his own way. Stan butts into Don's office, angry that Don scooped up the job from under him. Don attempts to apologize, saying he could find something for Stan eventually, but Stan refuses.
Pete is shocked to learn that his mother and Manolo got married before she was lost overboard. His secretary interjects to tell him he is late for his flight to Detroit. He runs into Bob on the elevator, livid about his friend's actions, alleging that Manny killed his mother and Bob is now an accessory. Bob insists he knew nothing about the situation, saying that Manny wouldn't hurt a fly. Peggy is in her office, dressed in a low-cut top and applying some makeup. She interrupts a meeting with Harry, Cutler and Ted to tell them she is leaving early due to plans as the men ogle her.
In Detroit, Pete and Bob butt heads while meeting with the Chevy executives. Bob attempts to embarrass Pete, putting him behind the wheel of a stick shift Camaro even though Pete has never driven one. He mistakenly puts it in reverse and backs into a showroom display as the Chevy executives laugh at him.
Meanwhile, Ted waits for Peggy in the lobby of her apartment building. They argue over his treatment of her since Don almost exposed their interest in each other. Ted tells her he doesn't want anyone else to have her, telling her he loves her and promising to leave his wife. They kiss.
Later that evening, Don is woken by a phone call from Betty alerting him that Sally has been suspended for buying alcohol. She asks Don to pick her up, unable to do so herself since she is out of town. She feels that she is failing Sally and is at a loss as to how to help her. Don agrees to pick her up. Back at Peggy's apartment, she and Ted happily snuggle in bed. He promises that they won't need to sneak around, but Peggy tells him she can wait, saying he should go home to his wife to avoid suspicion.
The next morning, Pete returns to the office early. The embarrassment in Detroit got him kicked off the Chevy account. His secretary lets him know that his brother has been calling, possibly with news about his mother. Meanwhile, Joan talks to Roger's secretary and she lets on that Roger is depressed. Don is in his office when Ted comes in to speak with him. He tells Don that he wants to go to California, telling him that he needs the opportunity to start over with his family. He is second-guessing his affair with Peggy and can't continue to work with her. Don says he needs the move as well.
At the Hershey's meeting, Don presents to the company executives. His pitch relates Hershey's to childhood love and nostalgia, Don making up a story about his father taking him to the drugstore and buying him a chocolate bar after he finished his chores. Don gets the shakes as he sees that Ted is still morose over their meeting. As the executives glow over the campaign, Don confesses the grim reality of his childhood growing up in a whorehouse. In actuality, his first experience with Hershey's was when he would rummage through the customers' pockets to steal their money as they were with a prostitute. Everyone is speechless as Don says it was the only sweet thing in his life. Cutler tries to cover for him, calling the story "theater" before ushering them out of the meeting room. After they leave, Don tells Ted that he can take his place in California. Roger confronts Don before he leaves, wondering what happened. Don goes home, telling his secretary to have a Happy Thanksgiving.
In Pete's office, he and his brother talk to an investigator who fills them in on his mother's apparent death. They learn that since it was done over international waters, prosecution and investigation of the crime is incredibly tricky, even moreso since there is no body. When the investigator hints at steep legal fees to bring Manolo to justice, Pete and Bud balk. They agree that an investigation won't bring her back, both clearly not willing to foot the bill. Meanwhile, Ted meets with Peggy to tell her about his impending move to California. She blames it on Don, but Ted admits that he has to choose his family over her. He says he loves her so deeply that he can't be around her, telling her that one day she will be thankful he made this decision. She tells him to get out.
At the Draper household, Don relates the news about the canceled move to California to his wife. Megan is furious, saying she already quit her job. He promises that she can live and work in Los Angeles and he will frequently visit -- they will be "bi-coastal." She sees it as another excuse for Don to not quit drinking and leaves it a huff.
Thanksgiving morning at the Campbell house, Pete arrives and is met by Trudy. She is about to leave for her mother's for Thanksgiving dinner, while Pete insinuates that he is moving to California. Trudy tells him that his mother's death will ultimately set Pete free to be his own man. Pete goes in to say goodbye to his sleeping daughter, and Trudy watches from the doorway. Meanwhile, at the office, the partners have called an emergency meeting to discuss his questionable behavior at the Hershey's meeting. The partners are forcing Don to take a sabbatical to get his head on straight. Don seethes, saying that he has tolerated just as much from them. As he goes to the elevator, he runs into Ducky and a man who appears to be Don's prospective replacement.
At Joan's apartment, Roger shows up for Thanksgiving dinner. Joan agrees to let Roger be a part of Kevin's life, and Roger is surprised to see Bob Benson carving the turkey, smiling as always. Back at the office, Stan runs into Peggy catching up on work in Don's office, as she is set to run the agency while Ted is in California. Elsewhere, Don brings his children to a derelict house in a terrible neighborhood. They look at the house in disbelief as Don tells them it was where he grew up. Sally and her father look at each other, his daughter perhaps wary of this sudden show of honesty.

The City: Whitney Port Shows Off Her 'Sexy Side' For Maxim Photo Shoot
August 21, 2010 08:00 AM by Nancy Floyd
Whitney Port, the sweet and cutesy star of MTV's The City, is ready to shed her squeaky clean image and show off her sexier side. The aspiring fashion designer posed this week for a racy photo shoot for Maxim magazine. Keep reading for more details about Whitney Port's sexy shoot, her fears and anxieties about the racy pics, and why she's excited to show off a new side…
Prepare to see a new side of Whitney Port, the adorable girl-next-door star of MTV's The City! The young fashion designer is preparing for a super sexy photo shoot with men's mag, Maxim and she's a little nervous about it! On Thursday, she blogged about the racy photo shoot, writing, "Ready to channel my sexy side!!â€
Whitney Port shared the big news with her fans moments before the photo shoot on Thursday. "I have some very exciting news! Today I will be doing a shoot for Maxim!!!!" she blogged. "This is a pretty big deal for me because  I've never done ANYTHING like this before. I've done my fair share of photo shoots in my career, but none of them were at the level of sexiness that Maxim is recognized for."
Although the sexy photo shoot is out of the norm for Whitney Port, she's eager for the opportunity to showcase a different, more mature side of herself. "I've always been classified as the cutesy, girl next door type, so doing this shoot will give me the opportunity to step outside my comfort zone and show people an entirely different side of me," she says. "I'm definitely nervous but I know that this will be an incredibly empowering and liberating experience. Those thousands of pushups and sit-ups better pay off! Maxim, here I come!!!"

The "install" goal copies the artifact to the target directory and to the local repository.
How can I tell Maven to copy it also to a given directory (like the deploy directory of JBoss for example).
The goal copy of maven-dependency-plugin does what you want, see the example.
It is however not a good idea to copy anything outside your target directory (or
As @Andreas_D notes, there is a better alternative for JBoss deployment purpose; similarly for deploying to other appservers.
If you want to copy file to a webserver (local or distant) you can use Maven upload plugin :
And to configure parameters in a smart way, I use maven profiles :
I've created an "ant launcher", to use it by clicking under Eclipse ant view :
But you can simply run it on a command line :
By the way, for distant deployment, you may need a login password for scp to work. You have to add them to you Maven settings.xml file :
According to http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/examples/copying-artifacts.html you can copy the just built artifact to a specific directory:
The best approach would be to use a plugin which will actually deploy your application, such as cargo or jboss-maven plugin (credit to @Andreas_D for that one).
This would be a better approach to using a copy or generic upload tool since deploying is what you are actually trying to do.
With the cargo plugin you have the option to deploy to a variety of running servers. We took this approach to test locally in jetty using the jetty plugin during the build and had a profile to deploy to tomcat on demand via cargo.
Note: If you have your target server (JBOSS) installed locally on the dev box as well then you can also use cargo to start/stop your server during your build process as well. The downside of this approach is that you will need it to reference it's location in the pom file, so either all devs install it in the same location or a system property that defines where it is located (similar to JAVA_HOME).

Friday - Sunday: hosted a three-day "winning campaigns" training held by the old Thunderhead Alliance, teaching 37 advocates/activists from Arkansas, Texas, Missouri, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Australia (yes, Australia) to plan, coordinate, and achieve tangible improvements in bike infrastructure and policies in their home communities. Wrote the grant to bring this class here back in February sometime.
This week is writing thank-you notes to the folks who helped us put on the training class, a 2-hour seminar on improving mountain biking here, a follow-up meeting on the local campaigns laid out in the training workshops, and hopefully a little time to work on some class material for next month.

An Attempted Kidnapping Via C-Section is Thwarted; Teen is in CustodyMeredith Carroll
It doesn't happen often, but on rare occasions I am without words. This is one of those times.
According to law enforcement officials, an 18-year-old girl in Arizona has admitted to attacking her nine-months-pregnant friend in an attempt to steal her unborn child.
Kassandra Toruga of Maricopa was apprehended by firefighters at her friend's home while in possession of butchers knives, scissors, diapers and a bag of baby clothes.
Toruga, who has a history of mental illness, was fixated with babies, telling friends she was pregnant and used an ultrasound image as her MySpace profile picture, according to KPHO TV in Phoenix. Saying she wanted a baby of her own, Toruga admitted to police she planned to perform an amateur C-section.
Her friend has since given birth to the baby without incident. Toruga is being held in lieu of $500,000 bond on charges of first-degree attempted murder, arson and burglary. The arson charge stems from a fire she set to her friend's closet during the attack.
Pregnant women worry about many things, but having a violently mentally ill friend trying to steal their unborn child isn't on the regular list of concerns, thankfully. And thankfully her friend and baby escaped alive. Here's hoping Toruga gets the help she so desperately and clearly requires.

Broccoli Miracle Food Commercial
The Television Bureau of Canada (TVB) set out to demonstrate that TV ads can still sell. They chose broccoli as the subject of their ad campaign, but the real product they're promoting is TV commercials themselves. The quirky commercials promote the health benefits of broccoli, dubbing it "the miracle food."

Sign up for Office 365
Learn more about Office 365
My Samsung Galaxy SII has been receiving email until yesterday afternoon. Outlook connects fine on my laptop and web (not a 90 day expired password issue??). I removed exchange account from Droid, cleared all cache, restarted and tried adding account again. I checked for any updates possibly installed on Droid and found none (Android 2.3.6). ActiveSync allows email@example.com and password, authenticates and comes back with blank domain, enter domain and receive "Failed to search Exchange server automatically.Errored password purposely and receive auth error instead.
Enter setting manually", do so (pod51***.outlook.com) and receive error "Unable to connect server". Have deleted phone from Office 365 Admin and tried several times, also using m.outlook.com. HELP.... Thanks
Thanks for the feedback.
1 out of 1 people found this post helpful.
Ok. After working on it for the last 7 hours here is what just worked for me. Instead of using the server name automatically found by the email app and suggested by Microsoft, I used the same server address at it shows on the OWA address bar. I didn't think it would work, but it did!!!!
Exact same issue here. Please help. Thanks.
Exact same problem here. Just spent two hours trying to figure this out. It's affecting two of our Android tablets (both Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1) that have been working perfectly until this. I removed one of the tablets from its associated account in 0ffice 365. That didn't help. Then I deleted the account on the tablet itself. Same error: Unable to connect.
The weird thing is that our two Android phones (Samsung Captivate, froyo) continue to sync fine.
This might get more attention if it was posted to the Exchange online forum...
None of the suggestions has solved this for me on our Galaxy Tabs yet. Phones still working fine though.
Having the same problem with my Galaxy Nexus. My post is here:
OK, Weird…. I tried Harrison Carvalho solution (Thank You). However, I added the account through the "Settings, Accounts, Add Account" of my Galaxy and it actually went through and added the account using the OWA address (ch1prd0404.outlook.com is mine??) but would not sync. When I click on my email button it wanted me to add an account (????). I removed the account from settings and added it through email and it finally worked. Not sure if something changed with Office 365 or my Samsung Galaxy.
FYI, it's been reported that the ch1prd fix wears off and also that ch1prd server may ignore your Outlook folder sync settings if you've set any.
Edit: This observation is incorrect. The fix that wears off is the one related to creating a new default policy, which in my case didn't work at all anyway. The part about syncing too many folders (when syncing to the OWA server) remains true for me as of this time.
I posted this in a few other threads, but I think it aplies here, too:
I am also seeing this problem, using a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
On the tablet, I have two Exchange accounts set up, one to an Office 365 Exchange server (pod51009), and another to a different corporate Exchange account. The corporate exchange account still works fine, but the Office 365 account stopped working on 1/7.
I have these two accounts set up on my Windows Phone 7(HTC HD7), and they both still work fine on the phone. The problem for me seems to be limited to the Office 365 Exchange account on the android tablet.
FROM ANOTHER THREAD--THIS SOUNDS LIKE AN ACTUAL EXPLANATION/FINAL SOLUTION FOR THIS ISSUE. For most people I've seen, however, m.outlook.com doesn't work--I'd just go straight to the instructions for using the site name in the KB article, if I were you. That's what worked for me.

Noting that the disability of a sizeable number of population being bereft of a bank account was the main factor hindering all development activities, Prime Minister Nareandra Modi exhorted bank officers to put their shoulder to the wheel and ensure that no household in the country is left without a bank account.
In an email to all bank officials ahead of the August 28 nationwide launch of the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY), or the National Mission on Financial Inclusion, Modi said, "We need to enroll over 7 crore households and open their accounts. This is a national priority and we must rise to meet this challenge.
He said as a first step, under the PMJDY, every account holder gets a RuPay debit card with a R1 lakh accident cover. "As we go along, they will be covered by insurance and pension products," Modi added.
He said the PMJDY lies at the core of the NDA government's development philosophy of sab ka sath sab ka vikas. As we move rapidly forward in this knowledge era with modern banking and financial systems, it is untenable that a large majority of our population is deprived of basic banking facilities, he said.
Modi said he wonders whether matters have been so complicated that the poor and the marginalised are trapped in a perpetual cycle of exclusion and deprivation. We need to break that cycle and the Jan Dhan Yojana is the first step in that direction. With a bank account, every household gains access to banking and credit facilities. This will enable them to come out of the grip of moneylenders, manage to keep away from financial crises and most importantly, benefit from a range of financial products," he said.

Vendors > Damon's Seven Lakes
Poorly planned trip to Damon 7 Lakes
I had to miss out on the TFF SW outing, but Nilo wanted me out of the house for a while. My local ponds were muddied up from all the rains, so Joe C. and I took a quick trip to Damon 7 Lakes. We actually had a great time. A total of 3 dozen small LMB, and the double handful of bluegill all on a yellow Sam's One Bug (S1B), size 6.
The water at D7Ls was clean, and clear. Weed control this year left every lake we were in was very fishable.

MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) - The man accused of threatening to eat a judge's children has been denied bond and is ordered to undergo psychiatric evaluation.
James Edward Satterfield appeared before a Douglas County judge in Cobb County Superior Court - Cobb County judges recused themselves from the case.
In a warrant, authorities said 58-year-old Satterfield sent a letter to the wife of Cobb County Superior Court judge Reuben Green saying he would kill and eat their children. Satterfield was arrested in late December on charges of terroristic threats and stalking.
The Marietta Daily Journal reports Green presided over his divorce case.
A court date has not been set and a call to Satterfield's attorney was not answered Thursday.

Is it just me or are these announcers drunk on the RG3 juice? Every time something good happens for ISU, they sound like someone stole their girlfriend, shot their dog and crushed their pickup truck. Every time Baylor has something good happen? They sound like they are having the best 2 seconds of their lives.

For pianist-composer Neil Cowley, improvisation has always
been a bit of fun in a live situation but an artistic no-go when it comes to a
studio recording. That was until the trio's previous 2010 release Radio Silence proved otherwise. Cowley
has always had the knack of coming up with catchy tunes but on Radio Silence structures were loosened (largely evolving out
of playing the repertoire 'in' live) to create breathing space for group
improvisation. Yet those expecting more of the same on the new release The Face Of Mount Molehill will be
disappointed. At first, anyway. Cowley has gone back to writing no-messin' tightly-arranged
"songs without a singer" on their fourth recording and second for the Naim Jazz
Label. But The Face Of Mount Molehill is
the equal of Radio Silence for other
reasons that involve Cowley's new recruits. One is Australian bassist Rex
Horan, a sometime funky indie rocker, who ups the kick-arse factor with his
energy and strength of groove; in a contrasting dynamic effect Brian
Eno-collaborator and guitarist Leo Abrahams' ethereal effects and sonic
manipulations create an overall subtle ambience. Thirdly, there's Cowley's
arrangements for chamber string section which though far from ground-breaking,
largely resists the filling - out - the- sound function strings often perform
in the rock world. There are some typically strong tunes here that occasionally
recall Cowley's initial inspirations The Bad Plus (without the anarchic
fragility) and EST, but then you're more likely to hear echoes of REM, Beatles,
Radiohead, Philip Glass and Rufus Wainwright, than those of Keith Jarrett or
Brad Melhdau. Having said that, The Face
Of Mount Molehill is occasionally reminiscent of the latter's brilliant
2010 post-jazz recording opus Highway
Rider, especially as the studio has been an integral part of the creative
process with rock producer Dom Monks at the helm. A different kind of album to Radio Silence but another high quality

Jessica Biel And Justin Timberlake's Wedding: One Of The Most Expensive In Celebrity History
October 20, 2012 07:11 AM by Lisa Princ
Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake finally tied the knot in Italy after a five year long on and off relationship. Now, as details of the Punk'd stars big day are slowly leaking out, we've learned that the couple have left their mark as one of the most expensive celebrity weddings in history!
Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake surprised fans by tying the knot recently in a hush-hush ceremony that took place in Italy. And now, it's being reported that the couple, who have been dating for somewhere near five years, spent an estimated $6.5 million dollars on their big day! That's approximately $500K more than Kim Kardashian's wedding, and only falls short to the Royal Wedding that cost nearly $34 million. Even the extravagant wedding of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise cost only about $3.5 million. Wow, and to think the average American couple spends somewhere between $20-$30K on their special day!
So, what did they spend so much money on? Details are still emerging, but apparently, the couple have been celebrating all week long with their close friends and family. According to People Magazine, the pair have been hosting parties all week long leading up to their special day. Some of those included a wine and cheese party, as well as a firework filled beach bash! People also reports that they will have more details, including pictures and details of Jessica's dress this upcoming Wednesday. Stay tuned!
What do you think of Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake tying the knot? We know you have an opinion, and we want to hear from you! Join us in congratulating Justin and Jessica on their special day by posting a comment below.

BOSTON -- It started the way most storms do, with a couple faint drops that hint at an upcoming downpour.
Defenseman Wade Redden scored the Boston Bruins' first goal of the Stanley Cup Playoffs late in the first period of Game 1 of the club's Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
By the time the Bruins had won that game, Johnny Boychuk had also scored. Then the drops just kept on coming. Boychuk scored again in Game 2, Adam McQuaid scored in Game 3. The Bruins won that series in seven games, then the eye of the storm hit during the second round against the New York Rangers.
Torey Krug, just up from Providence of the American Hockey League, scored four goals as the Bruins eliminated the Rangers in five games. The deluge kept coming during the Eastern Conference Final, capped by McQuaid scoring the only goal in the Bruins' sweep-clinching win.
As they get ready to face the Chicago Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup Final, which starts Wednesday (8 p.m. ET; NBC, CBC, RDS) at United Center, the Bruins hope the offense from their defensemen continues to rain on the Windy City.
Through 16 playoff games, Bruins defensemen have accounted for 15 of the team's 50 goals (30 percent). They've registered 35 of the team's 138 points (25.4 percent). In the regular season, the Bruins' blueliners scored 23 goals, 18 percent of the Bruins' 127.
"Again, I think everyone preaches that they want their D to get up when they can," McQuaid said after the Bruins practiced at TD Garden on Monday. "I'm not sure, I don't know if we've necessarily changed anything as much as at times guys are doing a good job of working it back to the point and getting to the net for rebounds and opportunities and stuff.
"It's important for us when we get it back there to try to make a good play. The shot's not always there, but when you can, you try to get your shot through because you never know what can happen when you get a shot through on net. And you never know which shot, in the playoffs, could make a difference."
McQuaid scored one goal in the regular season and has two in the playoffs. Boychuk's five postseason goals, the most by any Boston blueliner, are five times as many as his total from the regular season. Neither Krug nor Matt Bartkowski (one playoff goal) had scored an NHL goal before the playoffs started.
While the Bruins' defensemen are making a concerted effort to contribute, they might also have luck on their side.
"I don't know. … I think that guys try to get involved and obviously find the opportunities to make the smart offensive chances happen. Obviously Torey coming in and getting his goals gives a big shot of offense in that Rangers series," defenseman Andrew Ference said. "Sometimes they go in. Sometimes they don't. I think it's as simple as that sometimes."
The Bruins have still gotten plenty of scoring from their forwards. Center David Krejci leads all playoff scorers with nine goals and 21 points. Nathan Horton has 17 points (seven goals), and Brad Marchand has emerged from a first-round slump to pour in 13 points, including four goals.
"It's great," Marchand said about the offensive support from the defensemen. "It really takes a lot of pressure off the forwards. I mean, having to go out there and score goals every night, it's tough sometimes. And I mean when the Ds step up the way they have in the playoffs so far, it's great for us. It adds another element to our game and it opens up things for us down low because guys have to respect our defensemen. It creates more room out there."
In the regular season, when the Bruins ranked 13th at 2.65 goals per game, they could've used some help from their defensemen. It took a while, but now the team is drenched in offense from the blue line.
"I think we'd rather it be this time of year as opposed to not," McQuaid said.
