It's a Bird. It's a Plane. It's a Sky Penis. Report Explains Strange Phenomenon
On November 16, 2017 a huge outline of a penis appeared in the sky near a training area in western Washington at the Naval Air Station on Whidbey Island.
A local television station KREM 2 reported the story after a woman sent along pictures of the sky drawing, along with expressing being upset by the images because she would need to explain them to her young children.
The photos created quite stir with attention paid right up to the Office of the Chief Naval Operations,
reports NavyTimes.com this week.
"Aircrew maneuvered an EA-18G aircraft in a pattern that resulted in contrails depicting an obscene symbol when viewed from the ground," it warned. "Media attention is expected."
The perpetrators of the sky high prank were revealed to be "the work of two junior officers with the 'Zappers' of Electronic Attack Squadron 130, who had sky time to kill and noticed that the white contrails their jet produced were particularly robust that afternoon.
"But they never counted on those contrails lingering long enough for folks on the ground to see their phallic rendering, according to a copy of the military's sky penis investigation obtained exclusively by Navy Times."
The officers — both lieutenants — were on a standard training mission when one of them came up with the plan for the giant penis, which was captured on the cockpit video recording system.
"What did you do on your flight?" the pilot joked. "Oh, we turned dinosaurs into sky penises."
"You should totally try to draw a penis," his co-pilot advised.
"I could definitely draw one, that would be easy," the pilot boasted. "I could basically draw a figure eight and turn around and come back. I'm gonna go down, grab some speed and hopefully get out of the contrail layer so they're not connected to each other."
They discussed the design as it was being completed.
"Balls are going to be a little lopsided," the pilot advised.
"Balls are complete," he reported moments later. "I just gotta navigate a little bit over here for the shaft."
"Which way is the shaft going?" the EWO asked.
"The shaft will go to the left," the pilot answered.
"It's gonna be a wide shaft," the EWO noted.
"I don't wanna make it just like 3 balls," the pilot said.
"Let's do it," the EWO said. "Oh, the head of that penis is going to be thick."
Once completed, they located a spot where they could view it in full and "cracked up" upon viewing it; but soon realized the gaffe they had made and they attempted to cover it up.
"I remarked that we needed to take steps to try to obfuscate it," the pilot wrote. "I flew one pass over it essentially trying to scribble it out with my contrails. That pass was ineffective."
Upon landing, the pair was confronted as to their actions and the two immediately fessed up and apologized, according to the report that the Navy Times received.
As for being reprimanded, "Navy officials said at the time of the incident that the two would go before a disciplinary board, the investigating officer recommended they receive 'non-punitive letters of instruction," writes Navy Times.
The pair's Executive Officer defended the wayward lieutenants, calling them both "fine officers and capable aviators."
"They 100 percent need to be held accountable, but if they are allowed to continue in naval aviation this is not a mistake they will repeat," he wrote. "Minus the current circumstances, they have never given me a reason to doubt their trustworthiness or their resolve to be officers in the Navy."
One squadron officer statement in the investigation appears to sum up the sentiment of the command regarding the historic act:
"This was a really bad decision by some really good guys in a really good squadron," reported the NavyTimes.com.

Thankfully one of that handful has been in touch to point out that this was the episode featuring Worcester Park - filmed back in the good old days when our houses were earning more than we were.
Kirsty described WP as having "Good train links, good schools and a fantastic high street" whilst Phil said "As an area it's quite exciting".
Quite exciting? Quite?? It's terribly exciting. He clearly doesn't read this blog.
Those of you who missed it have 7 days (and counting) to catch it here. But be warned, it does contain a brief shot of The Huntsmans Hall and footage of New Malden which some viewers may find distressing.
In the meantime a once serious posting of mine has degenerated into an exchange of terrible meat/butcher related jokes - such as:
"I went into the butchers and asked if he kept dripping. He said yes it's really embarrassing!!"
Feel free to add your own meat jokes here.

Brigid O'Reilly was a police detective in Manhattan, when she learned that Cloak and Dagger were attacking criminals in her precinct. At first she wanted to bring the pair to justice, but eventually she learned to trust the young crime-fighters.[2]
Later, she took a squad of police officers to investigate a warehouse belonging to the same pharmaceutical company that was responsible for giving Cloak and Dagger their powers. Some corrupt policemen, led by Roger Falcone, exposed the other police officers to a gas to asphyxiate them. With her dying breath, Brigid swore vengeance on Falcone. As Brigid laid dying, Cloak and Dagger found her. Although they were too late to save the other police, Cloak surrounded her and Dagger with his darkness while Dagger tried to revive her with her light. When this appeared unsuccessful, the pair abandoned her body to search for those responsible. Though Brigid O'Reilly died, she was reborn as Mayhem. She helped Cloak and Dagger find and fight the corrupt police, and she killed Falcone as promised. She is now herself a vigilante, showing no mercy to the drug dealers and other criminals she pursues.[3]
Powers and Abilities
Mayhem exudes a green gas from her pores that constantly surrounds her. When others are exposed to the gas, it can create a paralyzing effect. O'Reilly often employs her claws in an effort to expedite the absorption of her gas by exposing her opponents' blood to the air. The gas can have hypnotic properties that O'Reilly uses to withdraw information from informants.
Mayhem is also capable of flight under her own power.
As Mayhem is technically dead, it may be possible that she cannot be killed.
- After the Civil War, Mayhem was listed as a potential recruit for the Initiative.[4]

Video is a fantastic way to augment class lectures and let students see examples of habitats, organisms, and various physical/chemical/biological phenomena. Instead of just listening to a lecture about mangrove forests, students can go on a virtual field trip by watching a video. Quite a few educators are now using videos routinely to illustrate scientific concepts. The number of videos suitable to accompany science lectures is growing (here is a great list of videos for teaching ecology). Many of these are produced by professional filmmakers, but some are created by science practitioners and students.
Ecologists who work in different types of ecosystems and study various processes can make an important contribution to science education by making short documentaries (three to five minutes) focused on a particular topic. You may be doing research in an alpine forest, a grassland, or a coral reef. Or, you may teach a field course in a tropical rainforest or a desert. By shooting some footage and putting it together with a brief explanation, you can provide a unique insight into that ecosystem. If you get into the habit of creating short videos during such excursions, you will eventually build up a library of footage to augment class lectures. Students who take field courses or who are conducting field research can also produce informative videos in which they share their experiences and insights with other students or the general public.
I recently visited a unique ecosystem in southern Japan and decided to make a short video about it. I spent about two hours at the site shooting footage with my iPhone (attached to a monopod). I would have spent that much time anyway taking photos and just exploring the site. I additionally spent about five hours over the subsequent three days editing the clips (with iMovie) and incorporating information from the literature. Whenever I had a few minutes during my travels (waiting for a plane or bus), I trimmed the footage or searched the internet for information to include in the video. I did most of the initial editing on my iPhone, but finished the video on my computer using the desktop version of iMovie.
The resultant 4.5-minute video would be suitable to show in a lecture about climate controls on plant distributions or a more specialized lecture about mangrove ecosystems.
Now, some of you may be hesitant to make such a video, thinking that it will take a lot of time or will never be as good as professional science documentaries. Well, your videos don't have to be of BBC quality to be effective. Also, you don't need fancy equipment or a film studio to produce an informative and high-quality video. I used an iPhone 6 to film this video, which was rendered in high definition (1080p). As I've mentioned in previous posts, the iPhone is easy to use to capture video, especially if you know a few basics. Movie-editing is also quite easy with applications such as iMovie. Video-sharing sites allow creators to easily upload their videos online where they are readily shared with others.
The main point here is that with a little effort, I was able to create a mini-documentary about a topic of interest to students and researchers studying mangrove forests. Students may read about the distributional limits of mangroves, but text descriptions are dry and often not very interesting. A video, on the other hand, takes the viewer across oceans to a remote site they will likely never have the opportunity to visit and creates a memorable example of mangroves growing near their northernmost limit. The video is also understandable by non-specialists who might travel to southern Japan and want more information about unique coastal vegetation found there.

What happens when foreign influences come knocking on your door? Do you turn your back and hold your traditions more tightly? Or do you find a way to adapt new ways and form a unique cultural hybrid?
Those questions, faced by many societies throughout history, are examined within a Middle Eastern context in an intriguing new exhibition at Toronto's Aga Khan Museum.
Transforming Traditions: The Arts of 19th-Century Iran captures the country at a time when it was being pulled by outside forces, both Western and Asian, even as it sought to consolidate its territories and identity. The resulting conflict is writ large in the fascinating arts and crafts produced under the Qajar dynasty (1794–1925).
The exhibit is now open and runs until Feb. 10, 2019.

Printing Not Among the Industries Worst Affected by the Recession
PARAMUS, NJ—March 5, 2009—According to the NAPL Printing Economic Research Center (PERC), while the printing industry has been hit hard by the economic downturn, it is by no means alone. Based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau's Manufacturers' Shipments, Inventories, & Orders report, printing was one of ten major manufacturing groups in which shipments fell in 2008. However, printing's 3.9% decline for the year was far from being the worst: Seven other industries recorded steeper declines, with textile products (-12.3%) and transportation equipment (-10.3%) topping the list. Total manufacturing shipments were up 2.0% for the year.
The steepening of the recession is certainly taking its toll on most manufacturers. In December 2008, total manufacturing shipments were down 12.0% from their year-ago level. Only two of the 21 major industry groups in the Census Bureau report showed December 2008 shipments above December 2007, with beverage and tobacco products rising 5.4% and food products up 0.4%. Printing industry shipments were down 5.9% December over December, significant but again far from the steepest decline among manufacturers.
Obviously, manufacturing isn't the only area feeling the brunt of the recession. National income data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)—the same folks who give us the GDP results—show that several sectors other than manufacturing were already experiencing strains even before the steep fourth quarter decline. Among the larger sectors recording sharp third-quarter to third-quarter declines in 2008 were construction (-7.0%), transportation and warehousing (-6.7%), finance, insurance, and real estate (-5.5%), and retail trade (-3.7%). Fourth quarter data aren't available until the end of February, nonetheless, it's clear that conditions for these and most other sectors worsened during the final three months of the year.
Lower prices have certainly contributed to the decline in manufacturing shipments and other economic activities. This is evident most in petroleum and coal shipments, which recorded the steepest decline—47.7%— between December 2007 and December 2008. But sour business conditions and disappearing demand get the lion's share of the blame. This is certainly true for printing: Nearly 76.0% of the NAPL Printing Business Panel report business conditions slowed in January 2009 and 27.0% report conditions slowed "a lot."
Of course, results vary dramatically from company to company. According to NAPL's economists, recessions redistribute market share and coming out on the right side of redistribution requires becoming more productive, more competitive, and more valuable to clients. It also requires finding opportunities in the structural changes that continue to redefine the commercial printing industry. Finding opportunity in change—both structural change and cyclical change—is a defining characteristic of NAPL Leaders, companies that have grown nearly nine times faster than the industry over the last nine years.
PERC has been providing action steps for coming out of the recession on the right side of redistribution with its comprehensive State of the Industry Series. The series includes the NAPL State of the Industry Report, Seventh Edition; SOI: Strategic Perspective, 2008; and Printing Business Conditions. The State of the Industry Series is sponsored by Heidelberg (www.heidelbergusa.com).
Other NAPL economic response resources can be found at www.napl.org, or on the association's economic blog at www.NAPLBizTrends.org. Additional action step ideas are discussed in the association's white paper "Choosing Not to Participate in the Recession," a new white paper due out in March entitled "Finding Opportunity in the Recession." Both are available free at www.napl.org/requestform.
About PERC:
Under the direction of Chief Economist Andrew Paparozzi, NAPL's Printing Economic Research Center analyzes data for the entire commercial printing industry in North America, monitoring business and financial data monthly to track and project industry status and trends. The Printing Economic Research Center is considered the most comprehensive and accurate resource on industry data.

Matt Bellamy put a ring on it.
The Muse front man proposed to model girlfriend Elle Evans in Fiji earlier in December, she announced Saturday.
"Just a few days after my birthday, on the most romantic holiday of our lives, the man of my dreams asked me to marry him! After tears of joy, gasps of shock, and a split second of disbelief, of course I said YES!" Evans wrote on Instagram.
"I can't imagine our lives apart. What I can imagine is a bright future full of love & light, family & friends, moments that turn into cherished memories, and a lifetime of pure bliss."
The couple has been dating for about two years.
Bellamy was previously engaged to Kate Hudson, with whom he has a 6-year-old son.
He was also engaged to Italian psychologist Gaia Polloni before splitting in 2009.

I do know what… a thought: years in the past I watched that movie. In a 2 half collection. On the second night time I needed to get my boyfriend to stay over because I used to be too scared to fall asleep. I lived alone on the time. I was 24, he was about 22. He asked his mum, she is a faithful calothic (lives within the worry of God, to be sincere). She wasn't too happy however agreed. I ended up marrying this guy. This disease kicked in once I married him. Go determine hey?? – They were northern Italian too.

Spend attention to which dogs aren't suggested for 1st-time owners. For instance, some bigger breeds, such as Doberman Pinschers, Dalmatians, and Great Danes, could not be kid-protected due to the fact they can grow to be far more than 50 pounds. Also, bites from extremely huge dogs can do a lot far more harm than these from smaller dogs. And, of course, avoid choosing a dog that is been specifically bred to be an aggressive fighter (such as some Pit Bulls or Rottweilers).
If all that's needed to maintain your animals is a USDA exhibitor's license, I never consider that's significantly of a hurdle. Anybody can get and keep 1 by doing a few totally free shows a year and paying a tiny yearly charge. I consider the huge question for me would be whether the state will let me maintain them with a USDA license if you happen to be open about maintaining them as pets.
Pros: Although they are medium-sized, Cayuga ducks nevertheless cannot fly. They also lay black eggs, which is fairly cool. Cayugas have a wonderful and friendly disposition, especially if hand raised. They are also mentioned to be really hardy and can tolerate colder temperatures and significantly less-than-excellent weather. They tend to be reasonably quiet compared to other mallard-derived breeds.
Make sure your spotted green puffer is happy in its watery home. You can do this by monitoring your water quality especially the ammonia level. Like we described, puffers create a great deal of ammonia, so its important to periodically test the level of ammonia, to see if you want to add any conditioner to the water. We use the Aquarium Pharmaceuticals 401M Salt Water Aquarium Master Test Kit for Testing High Variety pH, Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate Levels This has everything you need to make sure your puffer stays healthy. A black belly is a sign of distress, a sign of poor water quality.…

Im back after several years and yes.. im still playing this game! and modding for fun, anyone who cares....i dont mind just thought id say hi before i go an ask for help!
anyways ...heres my problem with Borg Fusion Sphere(http://armada2.filefront.com/file/Borg_ ... here;87060) :
it gives me this error: out of memory increase file swap size
my details:
running armada 2
windows 7 and a2 demo in xp compat...all other mods work all for fed no borg
clean and modded install
yes my odfs of the ships are in my station file for the demo version
my prob is im crashing after loading before i see the game but after the loading bar is full and before asked its in the tech tree.. particularly the demo tech.. as ive used this to preview all mods and cant afford a new copy of a2
my idea its the sprites particularly :
hears what was stated in the read-me the last part looks wrong and i believe its causing the prob
1. Extract all files to their respective folders.
2. Find the file gui_global.spr in the sprites directory and add the lines in their
respective places.
Under special weapon buttons:
b_gsphereintegrator gbsphereintegrator00 0 0 64 64
Under Borg wireframes:
bfspherew1 BfsphereW 0 0 64 64
help please ive included the link to the file on a2 thanks
edit: its the odf of all things ...cant have two bcruise1 unlike fcruise3 which i have 2 one in ships stock.. one in stations odf file modded for voy Armour
very weird ??
so i believe if i change the file names of the build buttons and copy them rename them including the bcruuise1 which i will leave its stock model in the odf folder ships and make a clone change the name to sphere lol including the demo tech and add its stock build button renamed and copy-ed it should work

This seems to be ok, if a little incomplete. Normally wireframes have 5 components, but this one only has one. Will still work fine.Under special weapon buttons:
b_gsphereintegrator gbsphereintegrator00 0 0 64 64
Under Borg wireframes:
bfspherew1 BfsphereW 0 0 64 64
Watch out for anything that follows the wireframe entry. The above entry changes the reference to 64x64. Stock wires are set on 256x256 size textures if I'm not mistaken. One way to fix this would be to change the reference back to 256x256:
What did you mean by having two bcruise1? To avoid confusion, try to name all files pertaining to one unit with similar file names: bcruise1.odf, bcruise1.tga gbcruise1.tga, etc.
Sometimes this is difficult to do if you're assembling different mods together, but do try to keep naming consistent.
Increase Swap File Size means you are missing a " in an ODF file. I have used the Borg Fusion Cube and that is the exact same ship and I've never had any problems. There was a missing " but I fixed it way before I even put the ship into the game.

With the weather we've had this winter, writing an article about the benefits of walking in New Westminster feels a little awkward! However, it is the New Year, a time full of opportunities as well as challenges, and prioritizing walking is a big theme for the City of New Westminster in 2017. So, off we go!
The simple act of walking somewhere together brings so many benefits to the family. It's a chance to get some fresh air and clear everyone's head; a bit of exercise to boost everyone's energy (without sugar or caffeine!); opportunities to make choices and share tasks (such as choosing which way to go and carrying groceries); the chance to make new discoveries about your neighbourhood; the chance to actually talk (always easier when there are no screens ); and, the opportunity to teach or learn new skills, such as road safety. And these are just some of the benefits.
Walking is what your four-legged family members also enjoy most, which makes it an ideal multi-tasking activity that packs a great dose of daily learning and enrichment for everyone involved. It's also free, which makes it one of the most family-friendly activities there is.
In New Westminster, we are lucky to have a highly walkable city. Walk Score (www.walkscore.com) is a data-driven program that analyzes "walkability" information for destinations such as grocery stores, parks, schools, and cultural and entertainment destinations. Analysis of this data produces a Walk Score between 0 and 100. New Westminster has an average Walk Score of 70, which means that most errands can be accomplished on foot, and we also have good public transportation.
Walking is free, family-friendly, fun, and challenging all at once. It is also fairly easy to build into our busy lives, because the city is quite compact. Walking can take many forms in New Westminster; walking to school, walking to local grocery stores, walking to the park, or just walking around the block in your neighbourhood after dinner. The city has lovely destinations to walk to (think the Quay and River Market, Sapperton Landing, or Port Royal's Riverfront Walk) and it can be easily combined with other ways of travelling, such as taking transit or driving, but parking further away from your destination.
We lament the transportation situation and threats to the liveability of our community, complaining of noise and air pollution, traffic gridlock, and transportation inconvenience such as a lack of parking, and rightly so. The stress and strain of getting around can be bad in New Westminster, and indeed in the Lower Mainland as a whole. But how about cutting one car trip a week and walk together instead? You could also just shorten a car trip and walk the rest of the way. "Weird!" you may say, but this is mindful walking and it is good for you, for your family, and whole community.
It is ironic that we are so excited when our child learns to walk, but we very often spend the next 18 years driving them everywhere; to the shops, to school, to appointments, and activities. Children sit passively in the car as we drive to all our own obligations as well. How can traffic gridlock, stress, and pollution be a fair trade-off against family health and wellbeing and setting both you and your kids up for a successful day? What defines "quality time" in your family? You have to concentrate on the road when you are driving, so you cannot focus on your kids. But when you and your family are walking, you can all take in the sights and sounds along the way, notice other people and connect a bit with the greenery (or the snowy vistas) around you.
There is already lots of walking going on in New Westminster. About 17% of commuting trips (to work or school) are on foot, as opposed to 14% in Metro Vancouver overall. Likewise, 25% of errands are completed by walking or cycling here, as opposed to 20% in Metro Vancouver overall. (*Source: New Westminster Community Health Profile, my Health my Community survey, by Fraser Health Authority/Vancouver Coastal Health/University of British Columbia, 2014). And yet we can walk more.
You may say that it is impossible for you to walk more because you are too busy or it is too inconvenient. However, if you want to get a little closer to that wonderful goal of being a healthy, happy, grounded, and connected family, you should look to increasing the walking you do in your community. With a long list of health and wellness benefits such as increased fitness and flexibility, stress reduction, and feeling more connected to the people and place where you live; simple walking should not and cannot be ignored as a worthwhile activity to build into your family's daily routine. There is coverage everywhere of how our sedentary lifestyles are making us sick and weak. Heart disease, diabetes and obesity are inactivity-related, as much as they are related to an unhealthy diet and other factors such as smoking, drinking alcohol, stress and genetics. Today's car-centric patterns and behaviours can and should be challenged at every level for the good of us all. What do we need to be able to walk around more? Is it more flexible work hours, some infrastructure improvements, a good shopping trolley, a helpful map, or just a genuine intention? Find out by walking somewhere with your family and get involved in the walking conversation that is starting in New Westminster at www.walkerscaucus.ca.
New Westminster could become the walking capital of the Lower Mainland if we fully engage with being pedestrians here. Putting pedestrians first makes roads safer, public spaces more numerous, and promotes public transport for everyone's benefit, young or old. This is exactly what the City of New Westminster is focusing on through our Master Transportation Plan and Official Community Plan during 2017 and beyond (www.newwestcity.ca/transportation).
So what is the City doing to make the city more walkable? Last year, we worked on improving routes to school and made several intersection and pedestrian crossing improvements. In 2017, curb extensions/letdowns, sidewalks, and spot improvements to improve walking connectivity are just some of the projects planned. Alongside Fraser Health, the School District, and the community, we want to raise walking awareness and engagement in our city, starting in February with a Walking Mythbusters series, followed by an eight-week Walking Challenge in the spring, that we hope everyone will take part in.
It takes courage to commit to a set of values and actually live by them, to "be the change you want to see in the world," as Gandhi said. But as individuals, parents, and caregivers, isn't it time to start doing things a little more mindfully, for the benefit of ourselves, our kids, and our future? There's a simple way to make the first step towards changing our world for the better: discover walking in New Westminster this year.

PROVIDENCE — The day after Rhode Island launched legalized sports betting, a top Democrat said he's looking to expand it by allowing for mobile wagering.
A casino in Rhode Island became the first in New England to accept bets on professional sports Monday. Bets must be placed in person.
Democratic Senate President Dominick Ruggerio said Tuesday he's working on a bill to allow people to place bets from anywhere in Rhode Island. He plans to introduce it when the new legislative session begins in January.
Ruggerio said mobile gambling would be a convenience that would generate more revenue for the state. He's the biggest advocate for legalized sports betting in the legislature, having lobbied for its legalization for decades.
"A lot of young people, millennials, are getting into sports gaming. DraftKings, fantasy football, things of that nature," he said. "There is an interest and I think we can pursue that interest by offering mobile gaming."
Rhode Island moved quickly to legalize sports betting after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a federal law this year that made most sports gambling illegal.
Twin River Casino's two locations are the only places where bets will be accepted, for now. Sports betting began at the Lincoln casino Monday and it's expected to begin at the Tiverton casino in December.
Ruggerio envisions a system where in-person and mobile bets are done through Twin River. For mobile wagering, a person would have to be in Rhode Island and have an account through Twin River so their age is verified.
Democratic House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello said Tuesday he's aware that mobile wagering is a priority for Ruggerio, so that makes it an important issue in the upcoming session.
Latest Business
"If his proposal enhances the gaming experience for Rhode Islanders while providing additional revenue for the state, it is certainly an idea worthy of a thorough review," he said in a statement.
Twin River spokeswoman Patti Doyle said they're "actively engaged in conversations" with legislative leaders about what might be possible for mobile gambling.
To kick off sports betting in Lincoln, Ruggerio, Mattiello and John Taylor, chairman of Twin River Worldwide Holdings, each wagered $20 on Monday night games.
Ruggerio said he returned to the ticket window after the ceremony and placed a second bet of $110 on the Houston Texans beating the Tennessee Titans. They did. Ruggerio said he's donating his winnings to the Rhode Island Community Food Bank.

Working GirlDVD - 2001
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
a very slow, very boring start. Be aware of full nudity in this film
According to the film, despite bosses like Weinstein et. al., the fate worse than death is a woman boss.
This is smooth propaganda
and explains how misogyny rolls and why, as Bernie said , a woman can't be president. Misogyny is why we have Trump
Enjoyable romantic comedy movie.
Oh, god. The bad poofy hair sported by the working girls & 80386 computers of the late 1980s.
Fluffy light film? No way on sexual harassment, backstabbing office politics, revenge, wheeling dealing & the excesses of the 1980s.
Equal opportunity ogling. Note the body language of women behind supposed privacy window of Harrison Ford character changing shirts while talking on the phone to Mel's character on the phone & the clapping after he hangs up. Classic.
Such a cute movie with a great cast. Harrison seems a bit out of his element but he pulls it off. I might be in the minority but I absolutely love the horrid 1980s hair, makeup and shoulder pads. I can never get enough of that!
WORKING GIRL is a great film that exhibits the state of affairs for women in the eighties who deign to want a career. Skilled in her field but taken for granted by those around her, Tess McGill is a secretary by name but brings so much more to the table. When her boss ends up in hospital for an extended stay, Tess assumes her office without permission, bending the rules to get ahead. Taking the lead on a radio network acquisition, Tess has her designs on being the one who proposes mergers and sits in on the meetings (and not just to take notes). But she faces a hell of a lot of obstacles. And sadly not much has changed in terms of the barriers to rising up the corporate jungle gym for ladies. That's why WORKING GIRL is so fascinating still. It's not an historical document yet; it's a mirror. Watching the lengths that Tess goes to in order to rise up and be taken seriously makes me root for her. It makes me a little livid that these are steps she has to take to ever get promoted, but I certainly appreciate that her efforts are deserving. I like WORKING GIRL immensely and love coming back to it every handful of years. For anyone who's worked hard but to no avail, I'd recommend it.
Can a working girl from Staten Island make it in the rich investment world of Manhattan? Good fun and frequent humor--Sigourney Weaver is an arrogant, deliciously evil villain--and also a good look at what women's career paths were like in the 1980s. Those horrible little bow ties; the big hair; the overt "sleep with me & you'll get a job" experiences (with a hilarious response from Melanie Griffith, who plays Tess). On a serious note, this film surfaces class levels in the U.S. While not as ossified as say, the U.K. or other cultures, it's there. Americans like to pretend it's not. :-) You wind up rooting for Tess as she carefully practices acquiring the right "voice" and attitude. Cleverly crafted ending...and who knew Twinkies from Harrison Ford (who plays the love interest of both women) could be such a romantic gift?
"I've got a head for business and a bod for sin."
One comment says "classic seventies," but this came out in 1988. OK. Brings together romantic comedy with women in the workplace ("Baby Boom") and a Wall St. setting ("Wall Street"). It's hard to believe there was a time when the pneumatic Melanie Griffith was considered a good actress. Luckily, Sigourney Weaver and Harrison Ford are in it. And, in very small parts, Kevin Spacey, Nora Dunn, and David Duchovny. Alec Baldwin is skeezy as her skeezy boyfriend. It's all very 80s and a kinda fun time capsule, but it's hardly a very good movie. Sigourney Weaver was nominated for both this and "Gorillas in the Mist," which came out the same year. Poorly directed by Mike Nichols ("The Graduate"). Songs by Carly Simon.
1988's "Working Girl" may well be Melanie Griffith's finest hour: her Tess McGill is sweet, sexy, funny and determined as a secretary who wants more from life than her present circumstances and boorish, unfaithful boyfriend Mick (Alec Baldwin) can offer.
When her sophisticated new boss and "mentor" Katherine (played with haughty relish by Sigourney Weaver) breaks her leg skiing and is laid up for a few weeks, the plucky Tess sees her chance and grabs for it, winning along the way Katherine's boyfriend, Jack Trainer (Harrison Ford at his dashing, post-Indiana Jones/Han Solo best). There are nice supporting turns as well by Joan Cusack as Tess's girlhood pal, and Kevin Spacey in a tiny role as a slime-ball named Bob, a guy with whom you never want to ride in the back of a limousine.
Add to this director Mike Nichols's expert pacing and the rousing, infectious theme song by Carly Simon, "Let The River Run," and you have one of the great date movies of the 1980s. Highly recommended.
Although I haven't seen all of her movies, Melanie Griffith is a great actress. This one is no exception. Funny and quite enjoyable!
Classic seventies. The hair, makeup and costumes make this worth a peak if you want to see what women wore in the seventies and early eighties. A very funny but real portrayal of why women hate being secretaries. Melanie Griffith and Ms. Weaver shine in the prime of their youth.

Larry Page, co-founder of Google and CEO of Google's parent company Alphabet, promised in his annual shareholder's letter that there would be exciting things happening with Project Wing this year. Project Wing is the company's drone delivery project.
On Wednesday, the project shared some news via a post on Medium.
The update reveals that Wing took part in a set of nationwide tests conducted by NASA and the FAA alongside other drones from other manufacturers like Intel and DJI.
The Wing team was testing something that could wind up being just as important and potentially just as lucrative for Alphabet as the drones themselves: the software that will automatically manage all sorts of drones from many manufacturers as they whiz around the sky.
Project Wing, which is operated under Alphabet X, the R&D unit, has created software for managing robot drones, otherwise known as "unmanned aircraft systems" or UAS, explained Wing's co-leader James Ryan Burgess.
"Within a few years, Wing and other companies are likely to have fleets with thousands of UAS in the air at any one time, so we'll need systems that can dynamically route UAS not only around each other, but around manned aircraft, buildings, terrain, weather patterns and special events.
These tests featured three of Wing's delivery drones, flown by one person; two Intel Aero Ready to Fly drones flown by another person and an automated DJI Inspire drone doing a search and rescue mission. Burgess explained:
"Operators have historically had to steer their aircraft away from obstacles manually; instead, we demonstrated yesterday that our UTM platform can automatically manage the flight paths of all these different types of UAS, planning new, clear routes for each aircraft if and when conflicts arise."
The software makes use of Google Maps, Earth, and Street View, Burgess said.
Project Wing has had its share of troubles since it began in 2012, including the ousting of its original team leader, layoffs, the scraping of its original drone design, and complaints by some of its workers of internal political turmoil and long, harsh working conditions.
Sources close to the project have told Business Insider that the drone itself is on track to become a commercial product, but isn't particularly ahead of rivals in the market like Amazon and DJI.
That may not matter much. The drone delivery market is incredibly nascent. Not only are multiple companies working on the technology, but various regulators are working on the rules to keep the skies safe. The market for delivery drones is projected to remain tiny through 2020, less than 1% of the total drone market, Gartner predicts.
This test hints that X may not need to wait until delivery drones themselves catch on. It could potentially launch some sort of commercial drone management software first, and be ready with a delivery drone if and when a market for that does materialise.

ARMY Technical Officers have made safe a viable device found during a security alert this morning.
The security alert was sparked in Westlake on the outskirts of Derry city.
It followed the discovery of what police said was a "suspicious object" at around 7 am behind a car in the estate.
Army Technical Officers were tasked to the scene and a number of residents were asked to leave their homes while the object was examined.
Several controlled explosions were carried out before ATO made it safe.
The police say the object was a viable device and residents are being allowed back into their homes.
The device is now being taken away for forensic examination.
Detectives say they are keeping an open mind as to the motivation behind this morning's alert.
They are appealing for witnesses or for anyone with information that could assist the investigation to get in touch with them.
Officers can be reached at Strand Road CID on 101.
If someone would prefer to provide information without giving their name, they can contact the Crimestoppers charity anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Introducing the all new Fendt 1000.
This tractor is the first of its kind. Never before has there been so much power on a standard, row-crop tractor frame. You now have 500 horse in a maneuverable and versatile format. The Fendt 1000 Vario is changing the game. Its a tool that opens the door to new opportunities, new operations, new room to do more. The technology and efficiency the Fendt brand is known for is not skipped out on with the 1000 series. Fendt is leading the way again, with a tractor that can take you places you could never go before.

Design Philosophy
Before the Fendt 1000, the standard tractor market only went up to 400 horsepower. Getting bigger than 400 horsepower meant using a different kind of machine. Articulates and track machines come with a much heavier unladen weight. These bigger tractors are usually at least 17T and have inflexible ballast options. Often without CVT, and poor operator comfort and visibility, there is room for improvement. Fendt wanted their world class efficiency and comfort to improve this category. The priority with the Fendt 1000 series was to provide high land coverage with lowest cost per acre. The Fendt 1000 offers a brand new segment of standard tractors. The comfort and flexibility of these tractors addresses the weaknesses of the current market.
The Fendt 1000 breaks new ground in its demand for efficiency. There are a few main innovations that make up the Fendt iD standard. There is a new engine, fan concept, drive train, and hydraulic configuration. These systems combine to make up the low engine speed concept (Fendt iD) of the 1000 series.
The Fendt 1000 uses a MAN six-cylinder 12.4 L engine (pronounced as letters M-A-N). The engine is Tier 4 final compliant and uses a VTG turbocharger. The benchmarks of this engine is what sets the tractor series apart. The Fendt 1000 idles at a fuel saving 650 rpm. The speed range is from 650 to 1700 rpm. At 40km/h the engine runs at 950 rpm, and increases to a mere 1200 rpm for 50km/h travel. There is maximum torque at 1100 rpm, which remains almost constant up to 1450 rpm. The greatest torque and power are both available at fuel efficient engine speeds. These capabilities make the 1000 series different from other tractors. They are ideal for high efficiency in field work situations.
The Fendt 1000 series has a precise fan mounted with less than 2mm of clearance from the blades to hood. This concentric air system (CAS) is in front of the cooler unit under the hood. The fan is hydraulic drive. It runs independent of the engine speed, which also allows it to sit at an angle, sucking air from above. This angle results in an optimized air stream pulling air through the shaped hood. The air is free of dirt from below. It is also cooler air which is higher in density and provides more force as it goes through the radiator. This system offers superior cooling to traditional methods.
The most innovative feature of the Fendt 1000 is the VarioDrive drive train. It uses the same principle as other Fendt models, but has a second hydraulic motor on the front axle as well. The motors on the front and rear axles are both connected to the same hydraulic pump.
This new drive train works because force always takes the path of least resistance. The oil motors will thus take more or less oil depending on the resistance on each axle. An intelligent four wheel drive clutch shifts the torque between axles as needed. This is Fendt torque distribution. If the front axle experiences slip, the front hydraulic motor begins to take more oil. A sensor measures this change, and the four wheel drive clutch closes. This clutch allows torque to divert to the rear axle. Likewise, if the back axle slips, the clutch is closed and torque diverts to the front axle. This intelligent torque distribution allows for continuous traction. The clutch remains closed until the oil flowing to the two motors equalizes.
Out on the road, the motors on the axles are also at work. At about 25km/h the front axle motor disconnects from the pump. As the tractor accelerates more, the rear pump is also disconnected. At this point the rear axle has completely mechanical power. This eliminates the drag losses of the hydraulic motors and improves efficiency. Fendt torque distribution will still kick-in at mechanical powered road speed if required.
Variable four wheel drive is the way the front and rear interact. The hydraulic pump feeds the two motors of the two axles with equal oil. But as the tractor turns, the front wheel needs to travel a farther distance than the rear. Because the oil is free to transition between axles, it shifts to the front tire and that wheel speeds up. This transition pulls the tractor through the corner. Because the hydraulic pump feeds both axle motors, there is room for this change. This interplay acts as a front to rear differential as needed.
The hydraulics of the Fendt 1000 are also tailored for this low engine speed concept. The available pumps are able to provide high litre capacities at low engine speeds. The biggest single load sensing pump option can provide flow of 220 L/min. The Fendt 1000 can also have two load sensing pumps that combine for a capacity of 430 L/min. The right block gets exclusive use of this dedicated second pump option. With this two pump system, separate demands can receive separate quantities and pressures. A small oil consumer with a high pressure need (like a cylinder) can use the left block. At the same time, a high quantity consumer with a low pressure need (like an oil pump) can use the right block. Having these demands separated increases efficiency. This way a single pump does not need to be adjusting its speed all the time.
VarioGrip is an option on the Fendt 1000 series. It is a system that allows the operator to regulate tire pressure right from the terminal. The preferred tire pressure for road transport is higher than for field work. The farmer can select a lower tire pressure in the field. This flattens the tire out, giving the tractor better grip, and decreasing soil compaction. There is the potential for significant savings both in fuel and in caring for the soil. Back on the road, the tire pressure increases again. Running a higher pressure on the road reduces wear and fuel consumption. In both applications there are savings to be had.

text: Paramount's 'Transformers' Marketing: From Oreo to Uber 8:24 AM PDT 6/28/2014 by Austin Siegemund-Broka FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Mondelez International. The fourth installment in the Michael Bay franchise is "the big daddy of partnership opportunities," said Paramount worldwide marketing partnerships executive vp LeeAnne Stables. Uber rides, viral videos, "Action Fruit Creme" and "Prime Berry Creme" Oreo cookies — Paramount has struck a diverse array of promotional partnerships to launch Transformers: Age of Extinction, which opened in theaters on Thursday night in the U.S. To promote the fourth film in the Michael Bay franchise, the studio is working with two global and four national partners as well as a wide range of regional and international partners. "For us, Transformers is the big daddy of partnership opportunities," LeeAnne Stables, Paramount worldwide marketing partnerships executive vp, told The Hollywood Reporter. The exec estimated that those partnerships add up to a global promotional value of more than $200 million. Extinction stars a new cast led by Mark Wahlberg, and tracking suggests that it may have a $100-million opening weekend in North America, where it brought in $8.8 million in midnight showings Thursday night. And while Paramount has worked with a similar number of partners —like Burger King, Mountain Dew, Nokia and M&Ms — on past installments, this time most of the brands it has enlisted are new to the series. PHOTOS: 'Transformers' Hong Kong Premiere Chevrolet, which makes the Camaro that transforms into the robot Bumblebee, is the franchise's one returning global partner. The carmaker has been partnered with Transformers since the first installment in 2007. "It's really one of the most longstanding movie partnerships in the business," said Stables, who oversaw the deal. "I'd be hard-pressed to think of another franchise that has been through four films with a partnership of that magnitude." Mondelez International, through its Oreo brand, is Extinction's new global partner. The deal is Oreo's first global partnership with a movie, and it involved no payments, a Mondelez spokesperson said, only media spending by Mondelez. The campaign includes a globally aired TV spot directed by Bay. VIDEO: Nicola Peltz on the Explosions in 'Transformers' There also happens to be just about one degree of separation between Mondelez and Extinction. Earlier this year, activist investor Nelson Peltz, whose Trian hedge fund holds a large stake in Mondelez, joined the Mondelez board. Nelson's daughter Nicola Peltz has a prominent role in the film, in which she plays Wahlberg's daughter, although both Paramount and Mondelez say that connection is coincidental. Additionally, Paramount has locked in national partnerships with Big Red (the soft drink maker), fuel company Valero, Western Star Trucks and Waste Management. The partnership roster supplements marketing by Hasbro, the toymaker whose "robots in disguise" provided the inspiration for the films. Hasbro has more than 300 licensing agreements for Transformers merchandise. It has released its own line of Extinction toys, a video game by Activision, a mobile game and it has made almost 20 new retail agreements with vendors worldwide. FILM REVIEW: 'Transformers: Age of Extinction' This time around, Paramount's promotional partners for Extinction are cross-marketing this installment differently than earlier entries in the series in two key areas — digital promotions and mainland China. The importance of digital and social media marketing has increased steadily in the three years since Transformers: Dark of the Moon, says Stables. "The digital strategy in content creation has come to the forefront of the conversation," Stables explained. Partnering with brands like Oreo, the Transformers campaign has customized the digital marketing tools those brands had in place already — for instance, Oreo's Twist, Lick, Dunk mobile game app includes new Transformers-themed gameplay. The partnerships have produced new digital and social initiatives, too, like Oreo's integration of its Transformers retail displays in China with the social app WeChat. Big Red released a Transformers video online created by the comedy duo Beef & Sage, who also are behind a couple of online video campaigns for the soda. "The thought was, 'how can we engage the Transformers fan, and engage Big Red fans that are familiar with this tongue-in-cheek humor?'" Big Red marketing svp Thomas Oh told THR. PHOTOS: Mark Wahlberg's Rise from Star to Mogul Paramount has enlisted the driving app Uber, offering users in Dallas, Phoenix and Los Angeles the chance to request a ride from the Western Star truck that appears in the movie as Optimus Prime. "We're in the business of promoting the movie. Sometimes that's through millions of dollars of paid advertising, and sometimes it's just a great idea that garnered a lot of publicity. I'd put the Uber stunt in that category," Stables says. In a bid to attract the growing Chinese audience, the new film was produced in cooperation with the Chinese Movie Channel and its Sid Ganis-founded partner Jiaflix Enterprises. The film's cast includes well-established Chinese actors Li Bingbing and Han Geng and four performers chosen through a Chinese reality show. The Transformers series has performed well at the Chinese box office since its first installment in 2007. China was the highest-grossing international territory for both the second installment in 2009 and the third, and Extinction is looking to attract even more business there. The film's Chinese launch hit a bumpy patch earlier this week when the Beijing Investment Co., which operates Beijing's Pangu Plaza hotel, stated that a product placement deal it said it had struck for the film had not been honored. The company tried to halt the movie's opening. But Paramount and Bay reached a compromise that satisfied Pangu, and Jiaflix said Pangu's claims were false, saying in a statement, "We do not understand why Pangu, which is presented in an extraordinary manner to the world in Michael Bay's Transformers 4, would make such inaccurate assertions." Meanwhile, Paramount's two global partners have also both aimed promotions exclusively at China. Oreo has its WeChat integration and custom retail displays, while Chevy made a stop at the Beijing Auto Show in April, its first to cross-promote a Transformers film. The automaker used the appearance to launch a version of its Trax model, which plays a part in Extinction.

Turkey hosts Russian, Iranian FMs ahead of Sochi talks
Turkish, Russian and Iranian foreign ministers on Sunday met in Turkey's Mediterranean city of Antalya ahead of a trilateral meeting on Syria, scheduled to be held in Russia's Sochi city next Wednesday.
On Saturday, high-ranking officials from the three countries also met in Iraniancapital Tehran to make preparations for the Sochi meeting, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told reporters on Sunday after meeting Russian Sergey Lavrov and Iranian Javad Zarif.
Cavusoglu said they discussed the topics that may come up during the summit with his counterparts. He said the purpose of the summit was to evaluate what the three guarantor countries have succeeded about Syria so far, and the steps that should be taken in the future.
"With the Astana process, we have come a long way with Russia, especially in terms of the establishment of peace on the field and forming de-escalation zones. Situation on the field is much better compared to last year, Cavusoglu said.
When asked whether PKK/PYD terrorist organization was invited to the Syrian National Dialogue Congress, Cavusoglu said the participation of the terrorist group would be unacceptable for Turkey. Our sensitivity about PYD/YPG is obvious, he added.
The PYD and its military YPG wing are Syrian branches of the PKK, which has waged war against Turkey for more than 30 years.
Since the PKK launched its terror campaign in Turkey in 1984, tens of thousands of people have been killed, including more than 1,200 since July 2015 alone.
The U.S. and the coalition have largely ignored the PYD/PYG links to the PKK, which the U.S., EU, and Turkey list as a terrorist group.
At the Sochi meeting, leaders of the three guarantor countries will discuss developments in Syria and the recent situation in the region.
The three countries had brokered a cease-fire in Syria in December 2016, which led to the talks in Astana, Kazakhstan. The talks are being held in parallel to UN-backed discussions in Geneva to find a political solution to the six-year conflict.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will take part in the meeting hosted by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani will also attend the meeting.
The eighth round of Astana talks is expected to be held in the second half of December.

The first piece of major research on adult apprentices in this country, carried out by the UCL Institute of Education (IOE) and funded by the Nuffield Foundation, has found that 45% of all apprentices are 25 and over, with 3,000 taken by the over 60s in 2012/13.
The study, Does apprenticeship work for adults? looks at the key factors that motivate employers to provide adult apprenticeships as part of their workforce planning and the views and experiences of adults on training schemes.
Researchers carried out case studies and face-to-face interviews in the five main sectors employing and training apprentices: social care; health care; hospitality; transport and energy. They found that while under-19 apprentices are predominately male, women comprise 61% of adult apprentices aged 25 and over.
In many instances 'adult apprentices' were existing members of staff with employers with a 'grow your own skills' policy who wanted to retain their experience.
Employers saw apprenticeships as a good vehicle for staff retention and used them to develop a workforce capable of adapting to their business challenges. One manager said apprenticeships: "pushes them further…the apprenticeship takes them to that next level, so you're not just getting a good employee, you're getting a great employee and that's what makes the difference".
The report highlighted the demand from the 25s and over for apprenticeships and the study showed that both employers and employees benefit. However, it was clear that there was a lack of consistency in the quality and the substance of the apprenticeships on offer. Some of the apprentices in the study were merely accredited for the skills and knowledge they had already while others were building new levels of occupational expertise and a grounding for career progression.
Professor Alison Fuller said: "Currently, the term 'apprenticeship' is being misused. Accrediting adults for existing skills is worthwhile. However, this should not be classed as an apprenticeship. The study shows that adults value qualifications that give them access to new learning experiences.
"Employers and training providers need to work together to develop appropriate publicly funded courses for an ageing workforce. In this way we will fully capitalise on the long-term value of workforce development and retraining."
Adult apprentices had often been employed (and in some cases for many years) before being given the opportunity to take an up an apprenticeship. Many welcomed the chance to gain formal qualifications to improve their confidence and career opportunities. Those who undertook apprenticeships with a structured learning core and off-site training combined with a workplace supervisor were the most enthusiastic about the quality and extent of their learning. One apprentice said: "Well I like to think that it gives you something to show for what you've done, it gives you credit, so you know after four years I'm getting recognition for everything I've learnt, and these are the things I can do and this is the paper to prove it."
All government-supported apprenticeships include a mandatory requirement to achieve credits in English and mathematics. Many adult apprentices were negative about this aspect as they had poor school results in these subjects. However, once they started their apprenticeships they found that their new work-related skills increased their job capabilities and confidence. Adult apprentices saw the opportunity to develop computer skills as extremely valuable and this had a positive effect on how they saw themselves as learners.
The Office for National Statistics predicts that by 2020 people over the age of 50 will comprise 32% of the workforce. Employers want to offer apprenticeships to their older employees as well as new recruits. The UK and Australia are unique in allocating government funding to support apprenticeships for adults in employment. However, the types of apprenticeships currently on offer are of a variable quality. Does apprenticeship work for adults? shows that it is vital that adult apprenticeships include substantial training leading to career progression.

Paxton eating breakfast in mama's bed. He looks so cozy under the covers!
One happy baby! He's enjoying the mess his brother created!
Brotherly love!
Paxton loves coloring and he loves being outside so it's hard to beat coloring outside!

Paxton tells me what to write or draw. He loves having me write names!
Our Weston man is quite the little drooler. One evening we got him out of the high chair {we sit him in his high chair while we eat since eating is social!} and there literally was a puddle in the bottom. It was all drool…ick! He got a quick sink bath!
The beginning of June was unseasonably cool. We had cool days and rainy days. I just had to take a picture of John David when he came home on June 10th in Georgia wearing a fleece jacket! Who would have thought?!?

exit program
1) In computer programming, an exit program (or exit routine) is a named unit of programming code that is entered when a particular condition occurs, such as one that requires some screening for authorization. An exit program may be part of an operating system or part of an application program.
2) In the IBM AS/400 operating system, an exit program is a supplemental security measure that controls user access to applications, and prevents access outside of authorized applications. An AS/400 exit program (so called because the system exits to the program in the middle of a request from the user) is not used - as might be expected - to exit from a program, but to process user requests: it monitors user activity, checks to see if user requests comply with installation rules, and rejects those requests that contravene those rules.

After 4 fabulous years of studying on and off campus, the highlights would probably be studying abroad in Mexico, Spain and Jerusalem and producing my short senior capstone film, Cricketless. I graduated from BYU in Theater & Media Arts with an emphasis in Film Producing and a minor in Spanish. But just because I "graduated" I still have so much more to learn, so my Spanish es muy peor and the next couple of days are packed with me tying up strings in Provo so I can move to Boston for a summer internship with Walden Media and my best friend Carmen is coming along for the ride and we can't wait!
So the blog begins...
for those of you who actually care to read the rants and ravings of above said "Rave", welcome! Honestly, I have always been reluctant to begin a blog because:
1. I don't think I'm so cool that everyone and their dog wants to read about me.
2. I am a lousy journal writer and...
3. I like to amuse and usually I'm much more entertaining in person.
But anyhow, this blog is for my friends and family who are interested in my latest news and therefore I don't have to compile chaotic emails with pixilated pictures etc. Hopefully this "exercise" will keep me organized and documented for all intents and purposes. Enjoy...or not. Love ya! :)
