New James Bond Movie Plot and Title Revealed?
In a recent interview, Serbian cellist Jelena Mihailovic has confirmed she has been hired to compose and perform the theme song for the upcoming James Bond film, which she also claims might be titled "Carte Blanche".
Just a few months ago, author Jeffrey Deaver released an official James Bond reboot novel by the same name that redefines the literary character of James Bond as a young agent, veteran of the Afghanistan war, in modern day MI6. Jeffrey Deaver's novel takes 007 to several locations across the globe including Serbia, India and South Africa, all locations that director Sam Mendez has chosen as locations for the upcoming movie. Also in the book, Bond deals with "a train carrying deadly cargo", a story point that coincides with reports of large train set pieces on location in India.
In Deaver's reboot, Bond is a brash, troublesome young agent (such as Craig portrayed in "Casino Royale") who has been drafted by a secret government agency and given "carte blanche" ("a blank check") to deal with an escalating threat by any means necessary. If this is truly the basis story for the upcoming film, Daniel Craig's new rough and gritty James Bond would be a perfect fit in the story.
Still tentatively titled "Bond 23″, the film is set for release on November 9th, 2012 with Daniel Craig and Judi Dench returning as Bond and M respectively, Ralph Fiennes (Voldemort from the Harry Potter series) and Javier Bardem ("No Country For Old Men") joining the cast as the new Bond villians, and Niaome Harris ("Pirate of the Caribbean: At World's End") rumored to be the new Moneypenny, M's assistant.

ST. LOUIS (KMOX) – Saturday was one of the hottest days of the year, but hundreds of bicyclists who rode through the streets of south St. Louis in the local version of the World Naked Bike Ride didn't seem to mind at all.
Most of the St. Louis riders Saturday night wore something, but for some, it was only a smile.
The St. Louis ride was part of a worldwide effort to promote bicycling and a positive body image.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of BP (BP) are up 1.33% to $47.83 inn pre-market trade after it was reported that the oil and gas company has tried to remove the administrator of compensation payments under its settlement for the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster, accusing him of a "clear-cut conflict of interest" that he had failed to disclose fully, the Financial Times reports..
In a filing to the U.S. court in New Orleans hearing the case over the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, BP said emails had recently come to light revealing that Patrick Juneau, the compensation claims administrator, had previously "advocated vigorously on behalf of individual and business claimants seeking compensation from BP for alleged spill-related injuries," the Times said.
The cost of the settlement, which BP originally estimated at $7.8 billion, is now expected to be $9.2 billion or more.

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.
TheStreet Ratings team rates BP PLC as a Buy with a ratings score of B-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate BP PLC (BP) a BUY. This is driven by several positive factors, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its increase in net income, attractive valuation levels, good cash flow from operations, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and increase in stock price during the past year. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat disappointing return on equity."

People often think that couples who have been living together for a long period of time are 'common law' husbands and wives; but there is no such legal status in the UK. The Law refers to 'living together' relationships as Cohabitation; people living together are called 'Cohabitees'.
Our Cohabitation Agreement Solicitors can advise you on the cohabitation issues you should consider, where you stand legally; and how a Court would view your arrangements.
Cohabitation Agreements are increasingly popular as more and more couples are living together, and want to protect their individual assets and income in case of separation.
A Cohabitation Agreement can record details such as:
Your Cohabitation Agreement can be tailored to meet your individual needs and circumstances.
A Cohabitation Agreement can also provide a framework for what will happen if the relationship breaks up.
It can deal with how equity in the property will be divided, who will be responsible for debts and so on. The Agreement can also set out what will happen if one person dies.
For more information read our online legal advice guide about Cohabitation Agreements which you can download and print.

great, great, great!
i have your flash book. and i would buy the iphone version too.
but i guess it would take too long to write it. the topic is hot now.
what about doing more tutorials. collecting them in a pdf or whatever?
i would be happy to help with a donation. and i am sure many more would too.
May I volunteer a useful tidbit about cocos2d?
It has a sound engine (experimental) which I found very useful when I needed Ogg Vorbis support in my iphone app. It uses the Tremor Vorbis C library.
You can even disconnect it from cocos2d by commenting out import cocos2d.h in the header files and commenting out a couple references to the Director class in PASoundSource.m.

You are great. Looking forward to get more tutorial from you.
The best tutorial I have found on cocos2d by far! Thank-you for using your strong teaching skills to help remove the mystery from this simple process that can seem so daunting and complex due to the way it is normally presented. I'll promise to keep playing your games if you promise to keep writing these;-) I would buy articles about this if you ever choose to follow that path compared to a full blown book, also something I would buy. Thanks again!!
Thanks a lot for your effort in putting these together. I appreciate it.
Splendid! Thanks so much for introducing me to cocos2d in such a beginner-friendly way. I had very little problems going through the tutorials and learned enough to strike out on my own. You do great work my friend!
[…] Bit101 – a few good tips […]
This is an excellent tutorial series! Especially coming from the perspective of start with OpenGL and then discovering Cocos2d, it can be quite refreshing.
When I started learning Cocos2d, I loved all of Ray Wenderlich's examples. They've helped out in a lot of ways. Yet I found a that I learned a lot better from this Cocos2D tutorial site. For me at least, it's a bit better to learn from something that puts it all together, instead of everything being scattered online.

WASHINGTON (JTA) — President Obama condemned the "unjust actions" of the Iranian government, but said it can still engage with the United States and the international community.
"There is a path available to Iran in which their sovereignty is respected, their traditions, their culture, their faith is respected, but one in which they are part of a large community that has responsibilites and operates acccording to norms and international rules that are universal," Obama said Tuesday at a White House news conference. "We don't know how they're going to respond yet."
Obama also said that if Iran chooses such a path, "we are interested in healing some of the wounds of 30 years in terms of U.S.-Iranian relations," but "that's the choice the Iranians are going to have to make."
The U.S. leader added that "what we've been seeing over the last couple of weeks is not encouraging in terms of the path this regime may choose to take."
Obama used his strongest language to describe the situation in the Islamic Republic, saying the United States was "appalled and outraged by the threats, beatings and imprisonments of the last few days."
The president also called "patently false and absurd" Iran's accusations that the United States and others are instigating the protests, calling them "an obvious attempt to distract people from what is truly taking place within Iran's borders."
"This tired strategy of using old tensions to scapegoat other countries won't work anymore in Iran," Obama said.
Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei blamed foreign "enemies," including "the media belonging to Zionists," for the protests by supporters of presidential candidate Mir Hussein Moussavi in a June 19 speech. The protesters are demonstrating against what they say was the rigged re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Budget airline Ryanair announced today it is to set up a new base at Glasgow International Airport.
The airline will make an investment of around £360m in Scotland as it looks to expand its operations in Glasgow.
The move means Glasgow will have two new business routes to and from Dublin and London three times a day; seven winter routes to and from Bydgoszcz, Derry, Riga, Warsaw Modlin and Wroclaw; and 55 weekly return flights.
The existing one daily flight from Glasgow Prestwick to Dublin will now switch to Glasgow International as the airline expands the service to three times daily.
Ryanair, however, insist that they remain committed to their long standing base at Prestwick where the airline has a major maintenance facility and is currently in discussions with Glasgow Prestwick and the Scottish Government, its new owners, to explore growth opportunities to/from Prestwick.
Glasgow Prestwick will still run seven winter routes (to/from Alicante, Barcelona Girona, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Malaga & Tenerife), and 13 weekly return flights.
Ryanair celebrated its Scottish growth and three new business routes by releasing 100,000 seats for sale across its European network, at prices from £19.99 for travel in August, September and October.
These low fare seats are available for booking until midnight Monday, July 7.
Ryanair's new Scottish routes go on sale on the Ryanair.com website tomorrow at fares from just £19.99.
A new business route will also run at Edinburgh to/from London Stansted three times a day.
David O'Brien, Ryanair's chief commercial officer, said: "Ryanair is pleased to launch three new Scottish routes, between Edinburgh and London, Glasgow and London, and Glasgow and Dublin, starting this October, with three daily return flights on each route at fares starting from just £19.99, which are half of BA's fares and 40% cheaper than Easyjet's, in response to strong demand for Ryanair's low fares from Scottish consumers and business customers, and increased competition between Scottish airports.
"Ryanair will also open a new base at Glasgow International this winter, with seven new routes and will deliver more than 500,000 new customers through Scottish airports this year.
"Scottish consumers already choose Ryanair for our low fares, industry leading customer service and great route choice."
He added: "However, Scotland cannot fulfil its true tourism potential until Air Passenger Duty is removed and we would urge Scotland to follow the example of Ireland, where Ryanair has launched 21 new routes and will deliver over 1.2m new customers this year, in response to the Irish Government's welcome decision to scrap APD. Regardless of the outcome of the referendum, Scotland cannot unlock its full potential until APD is repealed."

Final binding offers for the close to $9 billion ($US8.4 billion) in assets including leasing and other loans were due on Monday. The sale includes Lloyds's Capital Finance unit and corporate loans valued at more than $2 billion, Bloomberg reported on its web site. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. is advising on the sale.
Australia & New Zealand Banking Group earlier dropped out of bidding for the Lloyds assets. Initial offers have valued Lloyds's commercial-lending and asset-finance units in Australia at more than $1 billion, Bloomberg said.
Lloyds International Pty, the Australian unit, said its financial 2012 loss shrank to $148.3 million from $1.2 billion the previous year, according to company filings, the report said.
Macquarie is also considering a bid for Lloyds's Scottish Widows Investment Partnership, the asset-management arm of Scottish Widows, the report said.

Ever since going primal I've had the urge to take hunter safety classes, and pick up a license for November (I don't have a bow, so that negates the upcoming archery season).
The "me" six months ago would have probably thought "dude, that's soooo hick" but now, you see, it makes a lot of sense. I grew up in a hunting family, and I think I may carry on the tradition.
Anyone else contemplating this? Anyone else an avid hunter (or fisher)?

Living in London means learning to say goodbye
The scourge of the Kiwi in London isn't the lack of freely available Watties sauce.
It isn't even Infernos in Clapham. (Hangover-stricken expats are likely howling in protest at this as we speak.)
No, the scourge of the Kiwi in London is the never-ending churning of visa expiration dates.
The ebb and flow of life in the UK means you constantly find yourself saying goodbye to mates - mates from back home, mates you've known just three months - all people you share memories of what will be the most nostalgia-inducing years of your life, when you're in the mortgage slog.
(If you're lucky.)
The thought of saying goodbye to our flatmates Hannah and Matt filled me with dread. For a while, it was easy to not think about it.
Then as the months dwindled into days, and we finally reached their last evening in Chiswick, it became slightly less ignorable, and more sad-face-emoji- keyboard-sad.
(Our flat WhatsApp will not be the same. Although I am unsure if they will miss my proclivity to bombard everybody with - I think, at least - hilarious pictures of animals pretending to be human. All I can say is, count yourselves lucky I have so far resisted introducing you to the mole rat. Some things just cannot be unseen.)
Our own experience moved beyond the anecdote that your flat dictates how you view your time in London: after moving west, Mark and I found ourselves in the middle of a friendly, welcoming group of people - which made a nice change.
London can be a brutally unfriendly place, exacerbated by going from what could only be termed a "boisterous" crew to a lifestyle reminiscent of the Dr Evil rendition of Just the Two of Us.
Although you're meeting new people regularly, it can be disheartening when you don't feel the same level of buddiness immediately - however illogical that is.
The decision to spend their last night at Gordon's wine bar was all well and good; still, it wasn't quite enough to make my case of the glums subside completely.
So to Hannah and Matt: I will miss you, dudes.
After I was tucked up in my bed back home, the muted whirr of tiddly snores beside me, I succumbed to the two-wines- too-many habit of self-reflection.
In London, people leave. All the time.
Soon we will be saying goodbye to another good friend - the Cuttsville Express will be pulling out of the station, so to speak.
(And where will I get my fill of puns or Simpsons humour?)
Others will follow suit.
Tomorrow morning, I will be saying guten tag to new flatmates.
Hopefully they dig pictures of dogs in stockings.

The Medical Science of House, M.D. : The facts behind the addictive medical drama starring Golden Globe winner Hugh Laurie. Week after week, House, M.D. has held viewers' attention with brilliant cast performances and intriguing diagnostic mysteries often solved with daring treatments. But how much of the medical detail is real and how much is fabricated? In The Medical Science of House, M.D., Andrew Holtz, a well-known medical journalist, reveals how medical detectives work - how they follow symptoms to their source. He examines each case in detail and provides answers to such questions as: How can a teenager adopted at birth nearly die because his biological mother didn't get a vaccine? How can a husband's faith in his wife's fidelity determine whether radical treatment will cure her or kill her? How can a missed eye-doctor appointment reveal a genetic disease? How can doctors choose the right course for a pregnant woman when one may kill her and the other would abort her fetus?

The Las Vegas Wranglers have promotions down to an exact science; this year should be no different.
The promotions schedule includes four post-game concerts, eight post-game skating sessions with the team, opportunities to meet Marvel superheroes Thor and Spider-Man and, of course, silly, out-of-the-box events.
"We've tried to diversify and have two or three events for kids and families, two or three for those who like a good event and two or three for folks who like music," Wranglers President Billy Johnson said. "We were satisfied with what we got."
The Wranglers start their season at 7:05 p.m. today against the Utah Grizzlies — all fans attending will receive a schedule magnet.
Some of the team's older promotions return this season, such as the "World Famous Midnight Game," which has taken place every year since the Wranglers' inception, and the fourth annual "Regrettable Tattoo Night" where a lucky fan will have the opportunity to have an awful tattoo changed for free.
"We're creating a series of mini-brands," said Johnson, whose goal is to make the promotions synonymous with his team.
The Wranglers are also bringing back their spoof of the NHL's Winter Classic by hosting the "Indoor Winter Classic 2."
Last year, the doors in the Orleans Arena were left open and faux snow fell from the ceiling to replicate the NHL's annual outdoor hockey game, which was canceled because of the NHL labor dispute.
"It was utter silliness, which is the way we like it," Johnson said. "We're doing it again because we can see it and turn it into a Midnight Game."
There are also some new and wacky promotions.
The Wranglers plan on giving away "Hux Pucks," which are special hockey pucks honoring Adam Huxley, one of the team's beloved players.
Then on Valentine's Day, the Wranglers are hosting "Dump Your Ex's Stuff" night, where fans are encouraged to bring their ex-lover's items and get rid of them in a highly public manner.
Johnson wasn't thrilled with getting Feb. 14 on the schedule since promotions haven't done well when it came to couples.
So for this season, he and his marketing staff opted to target singles.
"Not everyone will be in love that day," Johnson said.
While the schedule is set for now, don't put it past Johnson to come up with something midway through the season that takes a dig at something in the news.
"Most of the ones we're famous for have been an instant reaction to the news cycle," he said. "So, never say never on the idea of adding more promotions."

Sfouf is by far one of my favorite Lebanese desserts. It's a moist cake characterized by its intense yellow color from the turmeric spice. It is made from semolina, flour, oil, sugar, and aniseed which gives it a distinctively awesome taste. Some people say it has a "magical" taste – and hey, I don't disagree. It is also very easy to make, you just have to mix all the ingredients in a single bowl, pour the batter in a cake pan, and garnish the cake with slices of blanched almonds before putting it in the oven.
Lebanese sweets are usually heavy with sugar, cheese (like kashta), and lots lots of butter! But this spongy cake is light and slightly sweet with a dense melt-in-your-mouth texture. After tasting it from renowned Lebanese bakeries, restaurants, and even home-made cakes, I found out that typical Sfouf are dry and lack the unique turmeric/aniseed flavor. So after reviewing and adapting my grandmother's recipe, I finally found the perfect balance of ingredients for an insanely moist, rich, and flavorful cake. The secret ingredient is the addition of brewed anise tea to the batter. Typical recipes call for plain water or milk, but I found that freshly brewed tea enhances the taste and texture of the cake.
The cake is traditionally cut into squares or diamond shapes in the baking pan, that's why it is called Sfouf, meaning "Rows" in Arabic. After taking the first bite, I knew that this is THE recipe to follow every time I plan on baking Sfouf. And it tastes so much better the next day! It's unbelievably good!
Let me take you through the step-by-step recipe – as usual 🙂
This is aniseed. It smells awesome. So will your cake.
Make some Anise tea by mixing boiling water with the seeds and letting it steep for a few minutes.
Transfer tea to a bowl and let it cool.
Finely ground aniseed using a spice grinder.
Mix the fine semolina (above) with the flour, turmeric powder, ground aniseed, and baking powder. Then add the tea and oil.
Cover the cake pan with some Tahineh (Sesame Paste)
Pour the cake batter into a 23 cm (9 inch) round pan. You can also use a rectangular pan.
Decorate it. Lovely.
Bake it.
Turn it on a wire rack and cut into squares.
And that's the best part. Yum.
Makes ≈ 26 squares.
Preparation time: 25 minutes.
Baking Time: 40 minutes.
2 cups boiling water
2 Tablespoons aniseed
2 cups fine semolina flour
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
2 tablespoons turmeric powder
1 tablespoon finely ground aniseed (you can use a spice grinder)
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 cup canola oil (or vegetable oil)
2 tablespoons Tahineh (sesame paste)
Blanched Almonds, halved (for decoration – you can substitute with pine nuts or 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds)
1. Boil water then add the aniseed and let steep for 10 minutes.
2. Strain tea and put aside to cool a little bit.
3. Preheat oven to 180ºC (355ºF)
4. In a large bowl, mix the fine semolina, flour, turmeric powder, ground aniseed, and baking powder until homogeneous.
5. Add sugar to the tea until dissolved.
6. Add oil and tea/sugar mixture to the dry ingredients, then mix well. The batter will be slightly thick.
7. Cover the bottom and sides of a 28 cm (11 inch) round pan (or a rectangular pan) with Tahineh.
8. Decorate with blanched almonds (or substitutes – above)
9. Bake for 40 min, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
10. Let cool in the pan for 30 min then invert on a wire rack.
11. Cut into square or diamond shapes, and store in an airtight container.

If there's a downside to the staggering amounts of broadband traffic Netflix (NSDQ: NFLX) is responsible for generating, it's the boundless creativity of those intent on punishing the company for that privilege.
The latest comes from Consumer Federation of America director of research Mark Cooper, who was quoted Wednesday by technology blog Hillicon Valley suggesting Netflix be taxed to subsidize the Universal Service Fund, which the FCC is currently trying to transition from its original mission of financing phone use in rural areas to doing same for broadband.
"The Internet is not an infant industry anymore. It can certainly bear the burden of making sure that wires and the communications mediums are there," said Cooper.
"Netflix takes up about 10 percent of every telco's bandwidth," chimed Shirley Bloomfield, chief executive of the National Telecommunications Cooperative Association.
Cue teeth-grinding from Reed Hastings. The Netflix CEO is finding it increasingly difficult to ignore the outstretched hands being waved in his face, even if they're not looking to collect from him directly.
First there's the matter of Netflix's backbone provider Level 3, which is embroiled in a nasty dispute with Comcast (NSDQ: CMCSA) over who has to foot the bill for the traffic Netflix generates on its network. Hastings alluded to the matter last month on the Q4 earnings call, noting that cable operators were looking to make life more difficult for his company simply because Netflix represented competition for their own video services.
Then there's usage-based billing, which is already instituted in Canada where Netflix launched a streaming-only service last year. With metered broadband a distinct possibility in the U.S. as well, Netflix has to face the harsh reality that its subscribers can't just consume all the video they want each month without risking an additional charge above and beyond their monthly Netflix bill.
Hastings was forced to break his silence on this subject as well, criticizing internet service providers in a letter to shareholders in January. Netflix and ISPs are clearly headed for war, especially after Netflix had the temerity after its last earnings call to distribute a chart grading their streaming performances.
But as this sudden call for a Netflix tax indicates, the company is facing multiple pressure points on its business model. While analysts tend to dwell on Netflix's increasing programming costs, its distribution strategy is looking troubled as well. It's starting to seem unrealistic that Hastings will be able to cram broadband networks with his product without some concession on his part.
Something's got to give, and it just might be Netflix.

Just the two of 'em: Shayne Soderstrom, vocals, guitars, synths, programming and drum machine; John Crayon, vocals, guitars, synths and keyboards.
Home base: Lakeland.
CD: The Uncanny Valley (LP, Go Fidelity).
What's the Uncanny Valley? "The Uncanny Valley was a theory that was released in a book by the same name by a Japanese roboticist in 1970," Soderstrom says. "It basically says that when something is synthetic, people will respond positively to its human traits." But when it gets to a certain point of being humanlike, people suddenly respond negatively. "When you graph out the response, there's a sudden drop. That's called the uncanny valley.
"I found that the concept applies to more than just robots or computer-animated people. People will respond to electronic music if you add just the right bits of organic sounds. I used the uncanny valley as sort of a guide when recording the record."
Timeless pop: "Well, we really try to focus on melodies first," Soderstrom says. "We're both a bit obsessed with the '60s and '70s, so using modern instrumentation helps to keep things from sounding too dated."
IS IT Live . . .: "Obviously our recordings involve a lot of overdubbing," Crayon says. "But most of our performance is absolutely live. This surprises people sometimes. A guy at our last show didn't believe we actually played all of the synths and guitars onstage. Apparently we're decent mimes."
Outside the band: Crayon is studying toward a master's degree in American studies at the University of South Florida. Soderstrom plans to get married in August and go back to school to be a teacher.
Hear 'em: 10 p.m. Saturday with Dead Maids and Attachedhands at New World Brewery in Ybor City. $6. (813) 248-4969.

Thai cuisine is intense and complicated, like the reasons your uncle is staying with us for a while. Make room for this Groupon.
$15 for $30 Worth of Thai Cuisine for Dinner Monday–Thursday
The menu includes steamed tapioca balls filled with sweet radish and peanuts ($6), crabmeat stir-fried with curry powder, egg, and scallion ($23), and mixed veggies sautéed with chicken and garlic in a house sauce ($12).
Pad Thai Restaurant
To create Pad Thai Restaurant's namesake dish, chefs stir-fry thin rice noodles, shrimp, bean sprouts, and crushed peanuts into a house sauce, the recipe of which is a closely guarded secret. It's one of more than 100 authentic Thai items that the culinary team creates using ingredients and herbs predominantly imported from Thailand. Along with coconut, ubiquitous bean sprouts and crushed peanuts fill the authentic thai pancake. Pineapple curry coats succulent cuts of duck, and a housemade sweet and sour sauce balances sesame-covered chicken. Glasses of thai iced tea or iced coffee wash down meals, but the BYOB restaurant also allows diners to supply their own drinks, rather than sip from a straw that connects to an opened soda in their car.

This beautiful New England homestead was built by Elijah Phelps in 1820. To fully understand the family who lived here and some aspects of the house itself, however, it is necessary to know something about Elijah Phelps' father, Noah. It was Noah who owned this land, and gave it to his son to build on. He also gave him a legacy of patriotism and public service that stemmed from his own role in building the new republic.
Noah was a Yale graduate, a lawyer and a judge, and served in the Continental Congress. He was a friend of, and fought under, George Washington in the Revolutionary War. Most important, he was a war hero. His heroism was connected with the battle of Fort Ticonderoga. The British were holding the fort, and the colonists needed to know how heavily protected it was in order to a plan their attack. Noah Phelps, a Major General, disguised himself as a peddler, and was admitted to the fort. He observed how many soldiers were in the fort, how well armed they were, etc., and reported back to General Ethan Allen. Using this information, Allen and his men were able to take the fort and win the day. The family's pride in this heroism nurtured a strong sense of patriotism that motivated much of the family's interests and even the architecture of their home.
When Elijah built his house, he was, like his father, a Yale graduate, a lawyer and a judge, and he served in Congress as well. The house took 3 years to build, and was an imposing building for its rural location. Placed on a rise on the main road through town, an American eagle was painted over the front door, a symbol of the patriotic family who lived there. The first four consisted of the center hall with two rooms on either side. (Today's 101, the library, the inn-keeper's office, and the entrance hall.) At the end of the center hall stood a one-story kitchen. The second floor had the same configuration of the center hall and two rooms on each side. It was a simple floor plan, in keeping with the architecture of the time, but the richly detailed woodwork, numerous fireplaces, generous use of decorative glass around the entrance were unmistakable signs of wealth.
Elijah and his wife, Lucy, had three children: Mary, John and Lucy. John moved to Missouri and later became its governor as well as a United States Senator. Mary married a man named John Allen, and his son later served as United States Senator as well. Lucy was married to Amos Eno, a Simsbury boy who began in the dry goods business in Hartford, then moved to New York City where he made a handsome fortune in banking and real estate.
He and Lucy lived in New York, but they and their ten children came back to Simsbury every summer. It was during one of these summer visits that Gifford Pinchot, a grandchild, was born in the house. Gifford Pinchot later became the founder of Yale School of Forestry and an important part of Teddy Roosevelt's administration, where he organizes the formation of the U.S. Forestry Department. In addition, he served as Governor of Pennsylvania three times. The tradition of public service was still an important part of family life.
In 1890, when Amos Eno was 80, he retired from business and decided to go back to the family home in Simsbury. His wife was deceased, and, not wanting to be alone, he built a large extension on the house to accommodate his children and their families for long visits. The downstairs bedroom was converted into a new entrance hall, the north porch modified, and the porte cochere added. The old kitchen became a spacious dining room extending the full width of the house, with a new kitchen and other service areas behind it. A multitude of bedrooms were added on the second and third floors of the building, bringing the total number of rooms in the house to 30. At this point, the building looked very much as it does today.
When Amos died in 1898, the house passed a one of his daughters. Antoinette Eno Wood, who was a young widow with no children. She was a wealthy woman, having inherited money from her father and husband, and she spent a great deal of it on adding her own improvements to the house. First of all, she gave it and name -- Eaglewood. The Eagle stood for the American Eagle, symbol of United States, and the Wood, obviously for her name. Colonial Revival was a popular architectural style around the turn-of-the-century, but it was more than fashion that motivated her decisions in altering the appearance of the house. She was very conscious of the famous patriotic heritage and wanted to express it in every way.
She changes the plain peaked roof line of the original building to a gambrel roof, added a Colonial Revival cornice, and inserted palladium windows on each side of the gable ends. Inside, she added Colonial Revival cornices in most of the rooms of the original building. It is possible that she may have had put a palladium window and a fan light in the carriage house, surely elegant details for such a utilitarian building. She also contacted the Frederick Olmstead landscaping firm to develop a plan for the grounds.
Frederick Olmstead had designed Central Park in New York City, among many other famous parks. But this time (1903) he was dead, but his business was carried on by his son and stepson. We have the plans that Olmstead submitted, but whether they were carried out as described, is not known. However, photographs in this period show the grounds with naturalistic plantings, garden walks, etc., -- similar to areas of Central Park. It is not known whether Amos Eno or his daughter built the large greenhouse which stood where the new Simsbury Public Library stands now, although very likely it was Eno. There were also beds for cut flowers, a rose garden, and vegetables growing on that part of the property.
In keeping with the Eagle symbolism, Mrs. Wood commissioned rugs with eagles woven into the pattern, and hung a large bas relief panel depicting eagles in flight on the mantle in what is the present parlor. Outside, on either side of the walk leading to the front door, were gateposts topped with life-sized bronze eagles, and, of course, there is our one remaining Eagle carved on the parlor mantle.
Mrs. Wood spent only her summers in Simsbury. Winters were spent in Washington DC, where she acted as hostess for her cousin, Senator McLean. But Eaglewood was a busy place during her summers here. Besides family members, guests arrived from all over the world, sometimes overflowing the house and causing the guest house (now the Bank of Boston on the corner) to be pressed into service. A large area the third floor (rooms 301, 302, 303) was assigned to storing the guest trunks.
From the standpoint of the Simsbury 1820 House today, probably are most important legacy in terms of patriotism is the ritual of the Fourth of July Ice Cream Social. Each year Mrs. Wood entertained the entire town of Simsbury with a party celebrating our country's birthday. It was the social event of the season for the town, especially for the children. The grounds were decorated with bunting, there was band music and dancing, and unlimited ice cream for everyone. Ice cream was a much bigger treat then than it is today, and, at our own Fourth of July Ice Cream Socials we are often visited by some old timer who delights in describing the excitement of those occasions.
In 1933, Mrs. Wood died, and the property passed to a nephew, was not yet of age, who lived in another state. All through the 1930's the empty house was kept cleaned and heated by the remnants of Mrs. Wood's staff. The nephew served in World War II, and after that, decided to sell the property. In 1948, it was bought by a group of Simsbury businessmen, who were concerned about its future, and leased to a restaurant operator, who named it The Simsbury House. It remained in business until 1960, when a developer bought the property, about 200 acres at that point, and built Heritage Glen behind the house. His plans the house itself were unknown, but it looked ominous when he held a tag sale at which mantelpieces, marble sinks, and other parts of a house were sold. The alarmed Town of Simsbury quickly moved to buy the house to save it from an uncertain future
Unfortunately, the town could never decide what to do with the building, and so nothing was done. Some public spirited citizens dismantled the greenhouse, which was being vandalized, numbered all the pieces, and stored them in the house. Unfortunately, the pieces and the house, continued to be vandalized. In 1976, as part of the town's Bi-Centennial celebration, the exterior of the house was painted, but nothing else was done, and deterioration continued. In 1985, Simsbury House Associates was formed and made a proposal to the town to buy and renovate the building.
The proposal was accepted at a town meeting, in the fashion of Simsbury's traditional New England form of government, and the renovation began. Since the house had already been listed on the National Register of Historic Places, great care was taken to make sure that all the work complied with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for listed properties. Craftsmen were located to duplicate missing architectural woodwork and replace and renew the decorative glass in the entrances and windows. Original doors and window sills were stripped of more than a century's accumulation of paint. When the wooden mantle in the innkeeper's office was removed for repairs, the initials EP and the date 1822 were discovered scratched in the stonework of the chimney. (And subsequently covered again when the mantle was replaced.)
Great care was taken to make the interior, furnished with a mixture of antiques, reproductions, modern textiles, approximate the setting that the family enjoyed when they were here. And now, everyone is welcome to enjoy this house which has stood watching over Hopmeadow Street through good times and bad and still feels like home.

Anglers, rafters and bird watchers have been fighting for public access of rivers and streams for decades, arguing all waterways belong to the public. But that notion rankles some private property owners, who don't want recreationalists traipsing onto their land. HB37 has been presented as a compromise, but will the bill satisfy the various parties?
On Wednesday at 12:15 p.m., Kris Olson of Utah Stream Access Coalition, Randy Parker of the Utah Farm Bureau, and Tribune outdoor editor and environmental reporter Brett Prettyman join Jennifer Napier-Pearce to discuss balancing public access with private property rights.
You can join the discussion by sending questions and comments to the hashtag #TribTalk on Twitter and Google+, or submit comments in the comment section below this story.

20 extra kilos for Honda and Chevy
According to the calculation of the Compensation Weight based on the three previous events –Hungary, Slovakia and Austria – the Citroën C-Elysée remains the reference model and receives the maximum compensation weight of 60 kg in addition to the minimum weight of 1100 kg.
However, for the first time since the Compensation Weight has been applied at the Hungaroring, Honda and Chevrolet will carry ballast as well.
This is the consequence of the fact that the Civic and Cruze cars have further reduced their gap from the French vehicles to 0.7 seconds.
Only the LADA Granta cars will keep on running with no compensation weight added.
Compensation weight Moscow Raceway:
+ 60 kg : Citroën C-Elysée
+ 20 kg: Chevrolet RML Cruze, Honda Civic
± 0 kg : LADA Granta

North Korean Cinema: A History
Paperback: 215 pages
Publisher: McFarland (August 13, 2012)
Language: English
Author: Johannes Schonherr
Korean cinema expert and frequent Japan Visitor contributor, Johannes Schonherr's book on North Korean cinema is a fascinating insight into the little-known world of film north of the 38th Parallel and opens a window onto the little-known society of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
After a chance meeting with North Korean delegates at the Berlin Film Festival in the late 1990s, Johannes was twice invited to North Korea to study film and attend the Pyongyang Film Festival. Later he promoted a tour of North Korean movies in Europe in 2000.
Schonherr's book reveals how Kim Il Sung and cinema buff Kim Jong Il both used propaganda movies to rally the masses behind the regime and how social problems in the DPRK are shown in the movies reviewed in the text.
North Korean Cinema: A History sets out the story of North Korean cinema from its early origins to the present day and chronicles the development of the genre in analyses of both major and minor North Korean movies. Don't miss the references to Pulgasari, the ideologically-upstanding DPRK version of Godzilla.
Johannes will discuss his book at the Foreign Correspondents Club of Japan in Tokyo on Monday, November 19th, from 6.15pm to 8.45pm

Dinnertime Disclosure
Meredith Hurst Friday, February 22, 2013
In Hill v Governing Body of Great Tey Primary School [2012] UKEAT/0237/12 the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) considered whether a Polkey deduction had been correctly applied and whether the Employment Tribunal (ET) had approached issues of confidentiality correctly.
The Claimant was a school dinner lady with the Respondent primary school. One day during the summer of 2009 the Claimant was on duty in a school playground when she discovered that a seven year old pupil (C) had been attacked with a skipping rope by two older male pupils. During the incident, C sustained red marks on her legs and rope burns and scratches to her wrists. The dinner lady reported the incident to the head teacher. The school reported the incident to C's parents in writing, referring to it as 'a minor incident'. That evening, the Claimant spoke to C's mother at a Beaver Scout group. C's parents subsequently involved the police who investigated the incident. C's parents informed the Claimant of that the police were involved, telling the Claimant that the police may need a statement from her.
Following this the Claimant prepared a statement which she delivered to the Respondent school head teacher's secretary also providing copies for the governors of the school. The EAT found that the Claimant did not give this statement to the police. The next day the Claimant was suspended by the Respondent's head teacher pending investigation into alleged breaches of confidentiality. Following her suspension the Claimant contacted the local press to tell them that she had been suspended. The Claimant subsequently faced disciplinary charges, which alleged that she had:
- Broken confidentiality by speaking to the parents about the incident;
- Broken confidentiality by speaking to the local press;
- Acted in a manner likely to bring the school into disrepute by contacting the local press.
A disciplinary panel of governors from the school found that the three charges were proved and decided that the Claimant should be dismissed. The Claimant appealed against her dismissal however the appeal was also dismissed.
The Claimant brought an ET claim. At first instance the ET held that while the Respondent had potentially fair reasons to dismiss the Claimant the investigation and disciplinary process which they had followed was unfair. The ET found that the investigation was unfair because it had been carried out by the head teacher who was 'intrinsically involved' in the events. In addition the head teacher reported to the governors who sat on the disciplinary panel with a recommendation that the Claimant be dismissed. The ET found that this recommendation was likely to have an 'undue adverse effect' against the Claimant. In addition the ET found that the investigation was not as thorough as it might have been and that it was inappropriate for governors at the school to conduct the disciplinary hearing. Finally the ET found that the disciplinary panel was not impartial.
At the remedies hearing the ET found that the Claimant would have been dismissed fairly after two months if proper procedure had been followed and that the compensation for that two month period should be reduced by 80% on account of the Claimant's contributory conduct. The Claimant was awarded just over £300 in back pay and £49.99 in compensation.
The Claimant appealed arguing that the ET took an erroneous approach to making a Polkey deduction and in addition that the ET approached the issue of confidentiality by applying its own paraphrase of the qualifications to article 10 of the ECHR (Freedom of Speech) rather than using the legislative words. The EAT upheld the Claimant's appeal. It found that the ET did take an erroneous approach to making a Polkey deduction and that in relation to confidentiality it should have adopted a structured approach rather than using its own paraphrase of the qualifications to article 10 of the ECHR. The EAT found that this might have affected the assessment of contributory fault. The EAT remitted the matter to the Employment Tribunal to decide how much compensation the Claimant should be awarded.

I've been having this issue for a while but the multi-resolution technique that was provided by the SimpleGame sample doesn't work on all devices. My game works perfectly on all ios devices, and most android devices except few. I own an HTC sensation android device (540x960) and the resolution of the game on that device is screwed up and I can't figure out a solution that works on all!
Anyways here is my code that I took from the sample game and modified it to work on my game:
//——— code starts here—————-
static Resource smallResource = { cocos2d::CCSizeMake(320, 480), "textures/1x" };static Resource mediumResource = { cocos2d::CCSizeMake(768, 1024), "textures/2x" };static Resource largeResource = { cocos2d::CCSizeMake(1536, 2048), "textures/3x" };
// the design resolution size is 320x480pEGLView~~>setDesignResolutionSize;vector searchPath;// if the frame's width is larger than the width of medium resource size, select large resource.if { searchPath.push_back;}// if the frame's width is larger than the width of small resource size, select medium resource.else if { searchPath.push_back;}// if the frame's width is smaller than the width of medium resource size, select small resource.else { searchPath.push_back;}pDirector~~>setContentScaleFactor(frameSize.height/designResolutionSize.height);
//——— code ends here—————-
I've attached two screenshots showing the game on an iphone4 and how it looks like on my HTC sensation android phone.
Is there a way to solve this? How is everyone else solving this issue?

Actually it's not the matter of resolution. It's the matter of aspect ratio.The best solution is to place UI elements relatively to windows dimensions. In your case, I'd place the 'timer' icon relatively to the left border of the screen and the 'pause' icon relatively to the right side. The white bar in the middle should be placed in center and it's width should be relative to the width of the screen, if you want it to fill all the free space between those two icons.Another solution is to fit the elements to the narrowest aspect ratio (I guess its 16:9 nowadays) and use 'Fixed Height' scaling policy.Well, it seems that you are doing things right except that you should set the content scale factor accordingly to the width of the screen, not height.
You're right it's a matter of aspect ratio. I'm using fixed height scaling policy and I did test on fitting the elements with the narrowest ratio and it kinda works for most of the resolutions… I guess for the rest of the resolutions maybe I need to hardcode them
Try fixed width policy.
Actually I'm using fixed height because for my game i'm more concerned about the height than the width. As for the width I have to handle it using the ratio.
Oh, sorry. My previous message is totally wrong.I meant this
Try replacing the height with width, thus content scale factor depends on width, not height.
yeh tried that but it doesn't work. Anyways found a solution by separating ios and android. So for ios i'm using the previous code that posted because it works on all ios devices (as for the bar at the in the screenshot was a bug in my code).As for android I looked at all the resolutions out there (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_displays_by_pixel_density), picked the most common ones for the android devices and came up with this and this and it works perfectly:
if (frameSize.width > mediumResource.size.width) { searchPath.push_back(largeResource.directory); CCDirector::sharedDirector()->setContentScaleFactor(4.8f); }else if (frameSize.width > smallResource.size.width) { searchPath.push_back(mediumResource.directory); if (frameSize.width 768 && frameSize.height 1024) CCDirector::sharedDirector()->setContentScaleFactor(frameSize.height/designResolutionSize.height); else if (frameSize.width 768 && frameSize.height 1024) CCDirector::sharedDirector()->setContentScaleFactor(2.15f); else CCDirector::sharedDirector()->setContentScaleFactor(2.4f);}else { searchPath.push_back(smallResource.directory); if (frameSize.width 240 && frameSize.height 320) CCDirector::sharedDirector()->setContentScaleFactor(1.075f); else if (frameSize.width 240 && frameSize.height 400) CCDirector::sharedDirector()->setContentScaleFactor(1.2f); else CCDirector::sharedDirector()->setContentScaleFactor(frameSize.height/designResolutionSize.height);}
Ok, thanks for sharing your experience.
Hey Karim,
I m also in search for optimal solution of multiresolution handling, can u please attach here your multiresolution handling code/files only.

Habs get set for playoff push
by The Upper Canadien on 04/08/14 at 09:39 PM ET
Comments (0)
After four days of rest, the Canadiens take the ice Wednesday night in game 80. And after writing 800 words on their season thus far, the strategy of resting players, and PK Subban's place in the Michel Therrien landscape, I accidentally deleted it. As such, I'll keep my comments brief in advance of tomorrow's game. Resting Price, Markov, etc al makes sense. Look at what happened to Ben Bishop tonight against Toronto. As for Subban, he's clearly got a special place in Therrien's heart. Is his play hurting because of it? Is his play being effected because he's hurting? We'll know the answer to the latter soon, based on his icetime over the final three games.
With three games left, Montreal has a chance to lock up home ice advantage for the playoffs. Does it matter for a team with as strong a road record as the Habs have had this year? I would argue it does, but I also think being the visitor has its advantages. Regardless, Montreal clearly wants it, and may top 100 points for the first time since Guy Carbonneau was walking the bench.
Enjoy the final stretch. Hard not to be optimistic with the playoffs so close. With a core of Pacioretty, Price, Markov, Subban, Plekanec and Vanek, things are looking up. They've got one of the hottest lines in hockey. Daniel Briere is one of the best point-per-game players come playoff time. Brandon Prust, if he's in, will be as rested as can be. Montreal arguably has their strongest team in two decades.
As Morrisey would say, a rush and a push and the land is ours. It looks like they are Canada's only hope this year. I'm pretty excited to see how this all plays out.

I've come to Kukla's Korner with four years of campus radio and three years of sportswriting from my time at Mount Allison University on Canada's East coast. Not only do I not have any professional journalistic training, after five years in the corporate world, I've spent much of the past two years completing an MBA. Business by day, hockey by night, I'm a Canadiens fan through and through. I hope you enjoy reading as much as I do writing.

text: So I visited a CPA firm yesterday, and now I'm completely disillusioned with the whole accounting field, and just jobs in general. I'm in college and am having a hard time grasping the fact that I'll soon be working that much. How do people keep from going nuts? We were all in college once, right? How did you go from the partying, sleeping in late, spending all day laying by the pool, to working all day, every day? Are there any jobs in the accounting field that still allow some semblance of a home life? Does a private accountant work fewer hours than a CPA? Bear in mind I didn't do any actual WORK at the CPA firm yesterday, so maybe the work is super-interesting and exciting and I'll love being there 10 hours a day LOL

Ordered one of these bars as a gift to my Wife for our 7 year anniversary. This is a very beautiful bar with excellent detail on it. Super fast shipping and awesome service from APMEX. Thank you....A4....
I purchased ten of these beautiful bars for 60 dollars each. They are in original plastic as pictured and the ten bars are still intact.....sheet of ten sealed bars. The bars are in perfect condition BUT: The plastic has a VERY STRONG MUSTY smell that will not come off with soap and water or vinegar.........very strong odor....can smell them from across the room. Otherwise would have been a five star....you could take them out of the plastic and I am sure they would be odor free then. Beautiful bars and apparently quite scarce.

LANSING, MI -- As Gov. Rick Snyder implores residents to shout about the state's greatness, there's now a little incentive.
The new Pure Michigan contest, MIplace Sweepstakes, offers Michiganders a format to share on Facebook their stories about why they chose to live, work and play in Michigan – and buy a home.
The payoff could be a $3,000 shopping spree courtesy of Michigan retailer Art Van.
The winner of this summer-long contest – at facebook.com/MIplace2012 – will receive a $3,000 shopping spree courtesy of Art Van Furniture. Michigan's largest furniture retail chain also will give every resident who enters a $50 Art Van gift card good on minimum purchases of $499.
The focus on home ownership may have something to do with the other sponsors, including Michigan Association of Realtors (MAR) and the Michigan State Housing Development Authority.
"Building Pure Michigan places begins with celebrating great places," said Joe Borgstrom, director of MSHDA's Michigan Main Street programs. "The goal of the MIplace Sweepstakes is to inspire individuals, communities and organizations to develop awareness of even more great Michigan places by sharing stories of why they are proud of where they live."
Michigan residents have until Labor Day to post their stories, which can be video or essay format – although no longer than 2 minutes or 250 words, respectively.
Sponsoring the contest is a good fit for the Warren-based retailer, said Diane Charles, director of corporate communications for Art Van Furniture.
"We have been a champion of Michigan's great places for more than half a century, and we're encouraging all of our Art Van guests and Facebook fans to share their vibrant communities and why they believe they're so special," Charles said.
The contest s part of an effort to promote "place" as a way to spur economic development and restore prosperity.
Placemaking is a new buzzword the Snyder administration is using to describe the growing consensus that people, companies and talent do not move to specific communities – they move to regions.
The thinking is that thriving communities and successful regions are places that are attractive to employees, where connections can happen, where productivity and creativity increase, and where professional networks foster collaboration and innovation.
Michigan's placemaking education campaign includes efforts such as the MIplace Sweepstakes and the debut last month of MIplace.org, which is intended to be Michigan's one-stop website for everything about placemaking, from what it is to where it is happening across the state.

Kathy-I will definitely look into that. I felt like such a terrible mom when it first started. We thought it was athletes foot since it was only on her feet, so we tried to keep her feet as dry as possible. When her toenails started getting loose we took her to the dr and he said it was ezcema and what we were doing was making it worse!! I felt awful!! Since then it's socks and shoes and cream and lotion everyday!
There are printable Aveeno qs and in addition to the Aveeno deal at CVS, there is an Aveeno deal at Walgreens that is specifically for the Aveeno baby Eczema products. They're on sale 10% off and if you buy two, you get 4,000 balance reward points (like $4 in your BR account).
THE aveeno coupon expired today.
shelleycole, your daughter may have excessive yeast in her system. My youngest (now 16) had bad rashes on her body and itched so bad all the time (mainly back and bottom, behind knees, etc.) from the time she was born. One year she had it so bad on her shoulders that he looked like she had something serious. It looked like she had a bad sunburn that peeled and never healed. Then a friend suggested I give her acidophilus and caprylic acid. The acidophilus replenishes good bacteria and the caprylic diminishes the bad bacteria or yeast in the system. It took a good year but we finally got it under control much to her relief. This was about 6 years ago and now virtually has no sign of it now. Now we drink kefir shakes (high in acidophilus) to keep the good bacteria in check.
DianeNC that $5.00 foodlion took an email to redplum and they replied with all the things I had to check on my computer, don't feel bad you are not the only one who could not find it, finally got it printed, felt like I earned it:)
Thanks for checking boogboomer!
shellycole....sorry, I don't have the paper from that far back. There are a couple of Aveeno coupons in the printable SmartShopper Coupons, maybe one of those would help. Sorry again.
