Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales' Review
Without saying much and wasting much time, I'll hit the nail on the head concerning Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales movie. Honestly, the movie is a great movie and of the best action-comedy film I've watched so far in 2017. I would say it's the best pirate film I've seen. Jack Sparrow nailed his character as usual with his drunkard style adapted from the popular iconic Asian actor, Jackie Chan in his movie titled 'Drunken Master', who seem to be really smart when drunk.
To give you an overview of the movie- Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales centers on Capt. Jack Sparrow, who feels the winds of ill-fortune blowing even more strongly when deadly ghost sailors led by his old nemesis, the evil Capt. Salazar, who escaped from the Devil's Triangle. Jack's only hope of survival lies in seeking out the legendary Trident of Poseidon- god of the seas, but to find it, he must unite with a brilliant and beautiful astronomer and a headstrong young man in the British navy named Henry, who also is in the task of braking the curse on his father, who is condemned to the heart of the sea.
The movie's introduction scene was quite interesting and epic, when the ghost sent Henry a message to Jack that he's coming for him and to tell him how much he would have loved to tell him the tales of what has happened to him and his men in the heart of the sea but dead men tell no tales. This is one of the best opening scenes I've seen in movies. The movie entails comedy, action, love and betrayal. No any dulling moments at all from the beginning to the end. I wouldn't say much like I mentioned earlier, but I recommend that you try watch the movie if you've not, you'll really enjoy it.
I'm scoring the movie 9.5 because I saw some how some scenes were made in the movie without watching the behind the scenes, this shouldn't be so, movies are meant to cover the tracks of their makings by all means to make it look real. The scene where the sea divided into two and Jack's men sent an anchor from the ship into the heart of the sea to rescue jack, Henry and the girl, was obvious that Jack and others were just on one spot as the camera was rolling around without them actually climbing up at some point. This could have been covered by having another camera moving in the vertical direction up and down as the other camera was going horizontally round. But nevertheless, the movie is a very great movie.

Score: 9.5/10

Frequently Asked Questions - All FAQs
Twin Oakers are involved in a variety of activist work. Some social justice activities that members have participated in include serving food to the homeless with Food Not Bombs, working at a battered women's shelter, going to demonstrations, animal rights work, protesting the School of the Americas/Assassins in Georgia, writing letters for Amnesty International, participating in Lesbian/Gay/Bi/Trans/Queer Pride marches, and more. While many individuals at Twin Oaks engage in activist activities, as a community we do not officially endorse any particular course of political activism (i.e. members do this work as individuals, not in the name of community).
We collectively own about 15 public computers, many of which are networked with each other and connected to the internet. They are available for both community work and personal use. We share a T1 connection--with the dozens of users we have though we generally can't stream video and we don't allow file sharing.
Many members have their own personal computer (laptops and desktops) kept in their bedrooms, which they can use for either community work or personal use. Most members have email accounts and use them for both internal (within the community) and external communication. As you've discovered, Twin Oaks has an extensive webpage and several members have their own webpages.
In any group of people living or working together, some amount of conflict is inevitable. At Twin Oaks, there are different types of conflict. Conflict can spring from values differences, from communication difficulties, from different assumptions of what's "normal" or "acceptable" and from having different perspectives on the same set of events. Some conflict is work-related, some is interpersonal. There are different ways we deal with conflict as it arises. Sometimes the people involved simply talk to each other to resolve differences. Sometimes the people prefer to have a mediated meeting, in which a third party is present either as a facilitator with skills in helping resolve conflict, or simply as a witness, creating a feeling of greater safety. Our Process Team offers support and resources for people in conflict, and also keeps an eye on "hot" issues in the community which might cause conflict to come up. We try to keep in mind that it isn't the existence of conflict that determines the health of a group, but rather the manner in which a group does or doesn't deal with conflict which determines it's health.
Twin Oaks culture places a much higher value on cooperation than mainstream culture. Sometimes, this can mean we need to learn new skills, and we strive to "raise the cultural bar" around communication skills. To a large extent, the expectation at Twin Oaks is that if conflict does arise, members be willing to engage in working it out,and to use respectful communication in doing so. The ability to see and understand (although not always agree on) more than one perspective of "the truth," and each of us being able to take responsibility for our own behavior in partially creating the conflict are skills that can go a long way in resolving conflict. We're still learning. Conflict resolution exists here along a spectrum; different members have different opinions. We find common ground in our hope that ultimately we can find a way to work out our differences and work together.
Members can be as connected to the mainstream as they desire. A few prefer to live a quiet life on a farm, while many others are quite connected to the mainstream. We get newspapers from Louisa, Charlottesville, Richmond and Washington DC. Many members listen to the radio, especially NPR. We have chosen to not have television here, as we want to avoid it's influence in importing mainstream values such as consumerism, violence, pre-packaged "canned" entertainment, etc. However, we are not purists, and we do rent and watch various movies, including documentaries and independent and foreign films.
We have more than a dozen public computers, all linked to the internet, and many members read news, surf the net and email with friends. There are almost daily trips to town for social, volunteer, or political activities, to go to the library, to visit friends, to take a day off, etc. We shop at local shops and know the people there. There are also quite a few ex-members who have settled in the town and city near us, and so we are further spread out into the larger community in that way. Although we are interested in creating a culture that is distinct from the mainstream, we are not interested in isolating ourselves from the mainstream.
We have a mixed diet at Twin Oaks--some members are vegetarian, some are meat-eaters, and some are vegan (people who consume no animal products at all e.g. no butter, no eggs). Diet can be pretty fluid at Twin Oaks; members often follow their dietary instincts, and eat differently at different times over the months and years. We produce a significant portion of our own food including vegetables, fruit, beans, and meat, and this means some people make diet choices based on knowing they are eating organic, free-range, locally-produced food.
Twin Oaks incorporates a variety of ecological practices. Our choice to share houses and cars reduces our footprint on the earth; our 18 vehicles and 7 residences for 100 people are both well below the national average, and use substantially less resources per person. Because we work in our community-owned businesses on our land, our commute involves a short walk through the woods instead of using fuel. When we do drive (for business or social reasons), we carpool extensively.We build our own buildings, and although our building techniques in terms of structure of the building are fairly conventional, we incorporate a wide variety of alternative energy features. These include passive solar features (large south-facing windows to light and heat the building), super-insulation, skylights and sun tubes for natural lighting, cellulose insulation in some places (instead of fiberglass), wood heat (using wood from our own forests and scrap from our sawmill) in almost all of our buildings, solar hot water, photovoltaic solar electricity in one residence, multi-use of most spaces, permaculture landscaping around buildings, and more.
Growing a significant portion of our food in our organic garden also helps us be more sustainable, by not using pesticides, and by reducing the amount of food we buy that needs to be transported by trucks. We also buy most purchased food in bulk, thereby reducing packaging.
Twin Oaks feminist values manifest on at least two different levels--systemically and culturally.
Systemically: Much of the organizational infrastructure here is classically feminist in nature; for example, our decision-making process is egalitarian (as opposed to hierarchical) and the community's labor system equally values traditionally women's work (cooking, cleaning, laundry, some amount of child-care) whereas in the mainstream this work is often undervalued when done as paid labor, and/or is done over and above paid labor.
Culturally: We have much less division of labor based on gender. Women and men both do traditionally women's and men's work. Both men and women prepare food, fix cars, do child-care, use power tools, etc. Unlike the mainstream, there are no cultural barriers to being a manager or being involved in our system of self-government. It's assumed that personal boundaries will be respected and that all people (especially men towards women) will be sensitive and tuned into interacting with and treating each other with appropriate respect. We largely ignore mainstream values of clothing choices, make-up, hair (including body hair), etc., instead opting for a fashion of self-determination. Whereas in the mainstream, certain relationship styles tend to be socially and economically rewarded (most notably a man and woman married to each other), at Twin Oaks a much wider range of relationship choices are accepted as normal and are not remarked upon.
Twin Oaks has members of various gender identifications. We have transgender members, cis female and cis male members as well as people who identify as genderfluid or non-binary.
Twin Oaks is sufficient in size to have developed our own holiday culture, including rituals and ceremonies which are unique to our village life. We have one member who serves as our Holiday Manager, who coordinates the organization of each holiday activity. Read about specific examples.
One of our primary values is non-violence. Our culture is one that values resolving conflict in a cooperative, peaceful manner, and living one's daily life in line with those principles. We do not tolerate physical violence at Twin Oaks, and verbal violence (this can mean different things to different people) is discouraged. We have members who have been involved in the war-tax resistance movement, and our choice to not have television here is partially rooted in wanting to avoid importing the violence often found in that medium.

Another Assassin's Creed game for iOS appears to be in the works, after an apparent slip from Uplay this morning.
Touch Arcade reports that a screenshot from the Uplay app showed briefly showed a promotional image for an upcoming game called Assassin's Creed Memories. According to the description, it mixes card battle, strategy, and RPG elements. You'll recruit both Assassins and Templars to your cause, and assert dominance over rival guilds.
The image also says it's "Coming Soon," but doesn't mention a release date or price. The name and description both sound similar to Assassin's Creed Recollection, a card battler that received a positive review from IGN.

I respect that the OpenLDAP community works hard that OpenLDAP is a secure solution for centralized authentication on its' own, but respectfully, it would scare me if the OpenLDAP community was not aware that LDAP was not intended to be an authentication store. LDAP's job is Authorization. To call such a statement empty and FUDly is pretty rude - it's fact. LDAP is a directory, it's designed for tracking information about things. It can store secrets, but it isn't designed, like Kerberos, to carefully control access to secrets.

In Guatemala, mothers have a 7 to 10 times higher risk of death due to pregnancy-related conditions.
In the rural indigenous communities in which we work, women usually receive prenatal and delivery care from a traditional birth attendant (TBA), or midwife. Birth attendants are usually the only healthcare system available when life-threatening complications occur. That is why we at MHA|WK created a smartphone application program to collaborate with midwives to recognize maternal and neonatal complications and make sure indigenous women in rural areas can receive life-saving care, right when they need it.
Two months ago, a TBA – who is receiving training with our nurse Enma to detect pregnancy complications – brought Julia to our clinic. The midwife was worried about Julia's pregnancy because she was diabetic. Julia was scared. She lost her last pregnancy due to diabetes-related complications four years ago. And this time, when she went to the government-run health center to get advice and treatment to prevent this from happening again, the nurses yelled at her, telling her, "You are so irresponsible: why did you get pregnant again if you know you are diabetic?" She left, not knowing what to do and worried that she or the new baby could die this time.
Due to diabetes, Julia had a high risk of developing pre-eclampsia and its complications. Pre-eclampsia, a syndrome that affects 3-5% of pregnancies, is usually diagnosed when a pregnant woman has dangerously high blood pressure. It is a main cause of death for both pregnant mothers and their babies, especially in low-resource settings like the rural indigenous communities in which we work, since hospitalization is necessary to make sure the mother and baby survive.
A trip to the hospital often takes 2-3 hours, and once they get there, indigenous women are likely to face discrimination, long wait times, and not receive care in their native Mayan language. To make sure indigenous women aren't locked out of life-saving care, we give TBAs the tools to check their patient's blood pressure, the fetal heart rate, and be able to contact us immediately with any questions and concerns—all within the comfort of the patient's home. Julia's midwife was able to check her blood pressure and condition, and we stayed involved.
When Julia started to feel ill, our midwife called us to describe the symptoms and arrange an emergency appointment. Enma and Sandy (our women's health manager) found that Julia's blood pressure was high: she had pre-eclampsia. They sat with Julia to explain the risks of preeclampsia in Kaqchikel, her native language. But she was scared to go to the hospital, back to the system that had treated her so poorly. But once we explained that we would check in on her, be in constant communication with her husband and the doctors, and be there for any need that may arise, she agreed to go.
We transferred her to the hospital, stayed in communication with her, and provided and paid for lab testing. She told us that at the beginning, she was shivering, scared of dying, but that with time she began to have more trust in our care, and started to feel like she was going to live…
And after a few days, her blood pressure was controlled, labor was induced, and she delivered a cute, healthy little girl weighing 6 pounds 6 ounces with no complications.
We all celebrated the success. These were just two lives saved, but two important lives. Not always does someone identify the signs of complications. Not every day do front-line health workers find a doctor or nurse to check on those complicated patients. Not all the time do patients feel that they can trust and communicate with their doctors and nurses in their own language. Not always are conditions detected early and lives saved. Not every day you find a team of dedicated people that are always there for their patients.
A few days after delivery, Julia came back to our clinic for a check up, accompanied by her husband and older son, and carrying a beautiful, healthy baby girl wrapped in blankets. Julia's condition is improving. And, as a complete coincidence, the newborn's name is Enma, the same name as our nurse that cared for her and allowed her and her mother to emerge from a scary pregnancy, happy and healthy.

U.S. Supreme Court
Fretz v. Bull, 53 U.S. 12 How. 466 466 (1851)
Fretz v. Bull
53 U.S. (12 How.) 466
The extent of the admiralty and maritime jurisdiction of the courts of the United States, as explained in the preceding case, again affirmed.
In admiralty, the party entitled to relief should always be made libellant, and the practice of instituting a suit in the name of one person for the benefit of another to whom the right has been transferred only obtains in particular cases. But all persons entitled, on the same state of facts, to participate in the same relief, may join as libellants, whether the suit be in personam or in rem.
Hence, where the cargo of a boat was partly insured, but not the boat itself, and the insurance company paid for that part of the cargo which was insured, it was competent for the owners of the boat to file a libel for the use of the insurance company.
In this case, where a collision took place between a steamboat and a flatboat, both descending the Mississippi River, the steamboat was in fault.
The flatboat was in an eddy of the river, and impelled by it towards the steamboat, and the latter should have kept further away.
The facts in the case are stated in the opinion of the court.
The cargo of Flatboat No. 2 consisted of 3,136 sacks of corn, 31 barrels and one keg of lard, 315 sacks of oats, of which there were insured.
1,643 sacks of corn 4,125 bush. at 75c. . . . . $3,093.00
158 sacks oats 353 bush. at 40c. . . . . . . 141.20
17 barrels of lard . . . . . . . . . . . . . 333.63
which was paid by the insurance company, with a small deduction. When paid, there was an argument between the insurance company and John C. Bull & Co. that the latter would include the insurance company in the libel.
The libel was filed by John C. Bull, William J. McClure, and Thomas S. Foreman, trading under the firm of John C. Bull & Co., in the district court of the United States. They were the owners of the boat and of the corn, and filed the libel for the use of the insurance company. A variety of testimony was taken, the important parts of which are stated in the opinion of the Court.
The district court gave judgment in favor of the libellants in the sum of $3,753.45.
The defendants appealed to the circuit court.
The circuit court affirmed the judgment of the district court, and the defendants appealed to this Court. chanrobles.com-red
MR. JUSTICE WAYNE delivered the opinion of the Court.
Two objections were urged in the argument of this cause by the appellants' counsel against this Court's giving a decision upon its merits.
The one, that the court had not jurisdiction on account of the locality of the collision, it being beyond tidewater, and the other that the libellants could not prosecute this suit for the benefit of others, as the libellants have no interest in it.
The first may be disposed of because the Court at this term has decided, in the case of The Genesee Chief v. Hitzhugh, that the constitutional jurisdiction of the United States in admiralty was not limited by tidewater, but was extended to the lakes and navigable rivers of the United States.
The other objection is not sustained by the proofs in the cause. Mr. Atwood, p. 39 of the record, states what was the amount of insurance which was paid upon the cargo, by the Firemen's Insurance Company of Louisville, and that nothing was paid to the libellants, Bull & Co., for the loss of the boat.
In admiralty, the party entitled to relief should always be made libellant; and the practice of instituting a suit in the name of one person for the benefit of another, to whom the right has been transferred, only obtains in particular cases. But all persons entitled on the same state of facts to participate in the same relief, may join as libellants, whether the suit be in personam or in rem. Benedict 211, § 380.
Mr. Atwood, in his testimony, says how Bull & Co. became united with the insurance company in this suit, though it is not stated in the libel with the precise formality it should have been, yet it appears sufficiently plain in other parts of the libel and from the proofs in the cause that the parties named in the libel have respectively an interest, which is covered by the principle just stated, that the same state of facts which will give relief to one will permit others to be joined as libellants. It is no substantial objection, then, that the suit has been brought chanrobles.com-red
in the name of Bull & Co. for the use of the Firemen's Insurance Company. The insurance in this instance was upon the cargo of boat No. 2, and not upon the boat. The cargo, however, was not fully insured. The insurance company, upon being informed of the loss of it from a collision with the Memphis, paid their policy upon it, and that placed them in a condition to bring this suit for its recovery if it could be ascertained that the collision was produced by the fault of those who were in charge of the steamer belonging to the appellants.
We will now inquire from what cause the collision happened, or who was in the fault.
In the second article, we have a description of its locality. It was at a point in the Mississippi River opposite Prophet's Island, in the State of Louisiana, and took place on 11 April, 1847, on a clear day, between the hours of nine and ten o'clock in the forenoon, whilst the flatboat, No. 2, was going downstream in the usual and proper channel. It seems that she was drawn in towards the shore by an eddy, and that whilst there, the steamer Memphis, also descending the river, and the flatboat came in contact with each other, from which the flatboat was capsized and sunk in less than four minutes, losing her whole cargo excepting sixteen barrels and one keg of lard. The allegation is that the steamer, with proper care and skill, might with great ease have been kept clear of said flatboat, and that the flatboat could not possibly get out of the way of the steamboat, but was run against by the steamer with great force and violence, striking her on the starboard quarter and causing her to fill rapidly. The answer of the respondents to this allegation is that the steamer was carefully going down the Mississippi, being at the time in the proper place for a descending boat, and that the officers on board of said steamboat observed two flatboats in the eddies, on both sides of the river, one in the eddy on the right side of the river, the other in that on the left, the latter being the flatboat No. 2. It is further stated that when the flatboats were discovered, there was ample space for the steamboat to pass safely between them. The flatboat on the right had side of the river was nearest the steamboat, and was first passed. It is also stated that in order to leave ample room for passing in safety flatboat No. 2, which was on the left side, that the Memphis was steered as closely to the first flatboat as it was prudent or safe to go; that after that boat had been safely passed, the flatboat, No 2, appeared to be some two hundred yards in the eddy from the course of the steamer, the captain of her requesting that a Louisville paper might be thrown into the river for him, stating that he would send his skiff out for it. Up to this time there was not the slightest apprehension of a chanrobles.com-red
collision. The captain of the Memphis not liking the position of the flatboat, she being at the time off to the left of his boat, with her bow nearly at right angles to his boat, requested the persons on the boat to throw down her stern. The captain of the flatboat seized the helm and endeavored to do so, but could not succeed. A moment before this, no one could have supposed a collision possible, but just about the time the bow of the Memphis passed the flatboat, she being then a considerable distance to the left of the course of the Memphis, a sudden change in the current of the eddy, or some other cause unknown to these respondents, threw the said flatboat against the larboard wheelhouse of the Memphis, nearly bow foremost, which started one of the planks of her bow, causing her soon to fill with water and sink. That previous to and at the time of the collision, the Memphis was running in the current of the river between the two eddies.
From these allegations of the appellants and respondents, substantially agreeing with each other, as to the eddies, the locality of the collision, and the relative positions of the boats to each other at that moment, it would be difficult to determine by the fault of which of them the disaster was occasioned. But from the antecedent navigation of the Memphis from the point where the flatboats were first observed, whether it shall be taken from the narrative of the respondent just recited or from the evidence in the case, it cannot be doubted that the collision was produced by the carelessness or ignorance or disregard of her pilot of the consequences which those eddies might produce in the positions in which the Memphis and flatboats then were. It is not denied by the respondents, and it is asserted by the libellants, that the flatboat was, from the time the Memphis first saw her until she was sunk, in the proper channel of downward navigation, floated onward only by the current. The captain of the Memphis, in his downward course, was the first to discover the danger resulting from the position in which his vessel had been placed relatively to the flatboat. He says he did not like it, and requested those on board the flatboat to throw down her stern. He admits, that the captain of the flatboat endeavored to do so, but could not succeed. He had approached the flatboat without any change in the position of the flatboat up to that moment. Now if according to his own declaration the collision occurred but a moment after, before he can be excused for his near approach to the flatboat, he must show that there was not water room, and of sufficient depth, to have run the Memphis further off than he did, and that there was not, on either side of the flatboat, a sufficient width of water for him to have passed the flatboat at a distance greater than the length of the chanrobles.com-red
Memphis, for it is plain, if that had been done, whether the eddy turned the flatboat or not, that the two boats could not have come into collision. The evidence on the part of the respondents confirms this view of the case, for Galusha says that at the time of the collision, there was room enough for the Memphis to pass without interfering with the flatboat at all, and Thomas testifies that the flatboat was floating with the current and the steamboat running with the stream, and though that at the place of accident there was an eddy on both sides of the river, that the river was very high and broad, and the Memphis might have passed on either side and thereby prevented the accident. It is further stated by this witness that the Memphis was coming towards the flatboat, and
"if we had pulled from her, we should have got into the eddy towards her, and she would have run over us; we did everything we could to prevent said accident, and it was not caused by the carelessness or want of skill of the crew of the flatboat."
Yourd, another witness, confirms this statement, and that the Memphis had "a plenty of room to avoid her." Henry Moore, another witness, says that the accident was caused by the fault of the pilot or crew of the steamboat Memphis, that it occurred in daylight, when there was no fog on the river and no wind, that on the left side of the steamboat there were three hundred yards of water and on the right side one hundred yards, that the steamboat might have passed on either side with perfect safety to herself and the flatboat, as there were neither bars nor snags in that part of the river, but that
"instead of passing around, she undertook to run between the flatboat and a hay boat that was floating between us and the right-hand shore, and struck our boat as he has stated."
The respondents' witness, Bentley, confirms the statement of the last witness that the steamer ran between the two boats, running as near to the boat on the right in order to leave as much room for the one on the left as possible, and that he did not, after he had passed the boat on the right, apprehend there was any danger of collision with the boat on the left; that the Memphis kept a straight course down the current of the river, and did not suppose, when the Memphis passed that first flatboat, that he would run within a hundred yards of the boat No. 2. He further states that the flatboat No. 2 did not change her relative position to the course the Memphis was running, but it was caused by the eddy forcing out the flatboat into the current of the river; that he, as the pilot, ran the Memphis in such a manner as he thought would prevent a collision. He thinks the Memphis was fifty yards from the flatboat when the bow of the Memphis passed her; at that time, witness was running, quartering into the bend on chanrobles.com-red
the left. About that time, he was apprehensive of a collision, and that it was caused by the approach of the flatboat. But this witness says that the river at the place of collision was from three quarters to a mile wide. Now with this fact, stated by himself, why was it necessary to run the Memphis on such a course as that such a collision should have happened? Or why was she not run at such a distance as that it could not have occurred? Added to this, this witness knew the force of the eddies, and should have guarded cautiously against their effect.
This is a cause of collision happening in broad daylight after the steamer had observed the flatboat for more than the distance of half a mile. The evidence shows, that the steamer could have been differently navigated from the manner in which she was, and that the course she was run, though in the judgment of the pilot was the best under the circumstances, yet that it was a course which caused the collision, and that another might have been taken by which there would have been no possibility of a collision.
The judgment of the circuit court is
MR. JUSTICE DANIEL dissented from the decision in this case on the ground of the want of jurisdiction in the admiralty courts of the United States, in cases like the present.
This cause came on to be heard on the transcript of the record, from the Circuit Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Louisiana and was argued by counsel. On consideration whereof it is now here ordered, adjudged, and decreed by this Court that the decree of the said circuit court in this cause be and the same is hereby affirmed with costs and damages at the rate of six percentum per annum.

I think that it is about time we get back to doing some writing…and publishing. Writing isn't always the issue. Finishing what I start and starting pieces that get finished so that they can be published is much different than getting bogged down writing a year in review that is now many thousands of words long and many months overdue! Sometimes it is best to just start fresh, bringing it back to square and doing what you do and like best. For me, writing wise at least, that is biographing Junior's life with plenty of cute, fun and even funny stories from our life that is!
The best way to start off a Dad's Point of View New Year is some fun verbiage DIRECT from Jr's Brain.
The other day I'm sitting around minding my own business when Junior whose mother has recently been referring to as, "Sir Talksalot" approaches me out of the blue and unprompted says, "My brain has a factory and it has big machines and little machines. The big machines make pooh and the little ones pee. And I have a big whole and a little one. From the big one comes pooh and the little one pee. And I also have a boy brain, a man brain and a person brain."
Then he goes off again to play, like nothing happened, yakking away to himself the entire time, leaving me to digest what he just said.
Such things happen all day every day. Such is my life. Life is good.
There are more machinations going on in Jr's World too. To point; this past weekend he and I went pond skating and we followed that up with some sledding. On one trip down the hill together our sled tipped and we banged legs. Of course there was no harm done but he took the opportunity to blame me for "breaking" his leg! He then progressed to explain to me that the wheels (gears I guess!!) in his legs had stopped and that the paper in his leg had ripped. After more explanation from Junior about the finer points of his anatomy I asked him, "If he would like to go down the hill again?"
"Yap," he replied!
Here is another story straight from Jr's brain. Are you starting to see a theme develop here? It seems to me that Jr believes he and his brain are separate entities. In fact when trouble strikes Jr often blames his brain for any impropriations that occur. Like this; the other day Jr approaches me after what was a day of many father-son lectures. He says (I am paraphrasing), "Dad. My brain is broken…and the reason my brain is broken…I mean the reason why I had troubles…I mean…the reason I had many troubles the last two days is that my brain is broken…now it is being repaired…my brain was broken and now it is being repaired (pause, deep breath). My brain will be repaired tomorrow and I will be good and behave. When my brain is repaired I can behave and be good a lot better. The reason my brain was broke is because it had bad water in it. Now I need to hydrate! and get the good water in and the bad water out. When I hydrate my brain will be repaired. AND that is what is happening!!!!!"
Also happening last weekend was a birthday party for one of Jr's friends. It was a princess themed birthday party and the host had a real live princess (pretend of course but not to the kids) attend. She told stories, sang songs, played games and made balloon animals (you know Princess stuff!!?!). All the kids both boys and girls were enthralled by the princess. The parents marveled at how calm they could all be when they perceived that something good was happening just for them. Sir Talksalot certainly let his "feelings" for the young lady be known with wide eyes and non-stop chatter. The princess was themed from a popular kid's movie one most everyone had seen. Jr had not seen her movie in a while and told her so but unprompted promised to watch it again so that he (paraphrasing again), "could see her again/spend more time with her in the future." (Something along those lines at least.)
Later, after we had arrived home we were watching the previews to a video I had put in to distract Jr with while I attended to the household chores. Low and behold a preview came on for the Princesses' movie! Jr was shocked by his good fortune. He turns and says to me, "Dad, dad, Dad, DAD, Daddy! Guess what????? The Princess from that party! Do you remember the Princess from that party? She sent me her movie on the TV so that I can see her. Now I can see her in her movie…and I can go see her in her home!!!"
A little later this exchange took place.
"Yes pal."
"Dad. Is my birthday tomorrow?"
"No son. Your birthday is in month X."
"Oh. When it is my birthday can I have a princess party like that girl had? With that princess?"
"Yes son. When it is your birthday in month X you can have whatever party you like."
When you ask Jr how old he is he replies 4…and a half! That half is very important. I think this is how it works for 4 and a half year olds. Half of their time stream occurs in our reality and the other half is lived in an alternative reality called Imagination Land. There is more! These two realities are not mutually exclusive in a 4 and a half year olds' eyes. They coexist! In this weird and wild way the 4 and half year old truly does live a fairy tale existence. An existence where incredibly anything can and does come true. A miracle to us is mere reality in the eyes of a child.
Peace and love all.

Unfortunately, it's harder than that. On such systems, the only way to solve the problem is to map each page twice, at different addresses. As far as I know, the only way to do that is to use mmap() on a named file on some device. In practice the easiest way to do this is to map the pages independently of the gc and use finalizers to recycle pages once they're no longer reachable. Andrew.

Using observations from NASA's WISE orbiting observatory, some scientists believe that after searching 100,000 galaxies, there is no evidence of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations.
"The idea behind our research is that, if an entire galaxy had been colonized by an advanced space-faring civilization, the energy produced by that civilization's technologies would be detectable in mid infra-red wavelengths—exactly the radiation that the WISE satellite was designed to detect for other astronomical purposes," said Jason T. Wright, an assistant professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the Center for Exoplanets and Habitable Worlds at Penn State University, in a statement.
NASA's WISE mission finds new stars, but no 'Planet X':
The paper will be published in the Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series on April 15, and talks about Glimpsing Heat from Alien Technologies Survey (G-HAT).
The team has also discovered some new phenomena within our own Milky Way galaxy.
A statement released by Penn State Science said: "Whether an advanced space-faring civilization uses the large amounts of energy from its galaxy's stars to power computers, space flight, communication, or something we can't yet imagine, fundamental thermodynamics tells us that this energy must be radiated away as heat in the mid-infra-red wavelengths," Wright said. "This same basic physics causes your computer to radiate heat while it is turned on."
Using space-based telescopes similar to the WISE satellite, we are now able to put Freeman Dyson's theory into practice. The theoretical physicist said in the 1960s that advanced alien civilizations that are beyond Earth could be detected by the telltale evidence of their mid infra-red emissions. With satellites like WISE, we are now able to make sensitive measurements of this radiation emitted by objects in space.
All about NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer:
Roger Griffith, a post-baccalaureate researcher at Penn State and the lead author of the paper, said that he had gone through nearly the entire catalog of the WISE satellite's detections, nearly 100 million in total. He was looking for objects consistent with galaxies that were emitting too much mid infra-red radiation. Griffith then categorized around 100,000 after individually examining the most promising galaxy images.
Wright stated: "We found about 50 galaxies that have unusually high levels of mid infra-red radiation.
"Our follow-up studies of those galaxies may reveal if the origin of their radiation results from natural astronomical processes, or if it could indicate the presence of a highly advanced civilization."
Some of the new discoveries included a bright nebula around the nearby star 48 Librae, and a group of objects that were easily detected by WISE in a patch of sky that seams totally black when viewed with telescopes that only detect visible light.
"This cluster is probably a group of very young stars forming inside a previously undiscovered molecular cloud, and the 48 Librae nebula apparently is due to a huge cloud of dust around the star, but both deserve much more careful study," Povich said in the statement.
"As we look more carefully at the light from these galaxies," said Wright, "we should be able to push our sensitivity to alien technology down to much lower levels, and to better distinguish heat resulting from natural astronomical sources from heat produced by advanced technologies. This pilot study is just the beginning."
It will be interesting to see what their second study brings out. I think to say there is nothing out there would be a bold statement as our understanding of space is still limited.

I love basketball. I grew up in the mecca of B-Ball — West Philadelphia – where we played the game all year round, even in the winter when it was snowing. In fact, we used to shovel the snow off the courts so we could play on the concrete surface. Okay, maybe not in a blizzard, but once the snow stopped coming down, and the sun came out, we started playing half court.
Those were the days of Wilt Chamberlain, Tom Gola, Hal Lear, Guy Rodgers, Paul Arizin, Walt Hazzard, Neil Johnston, Herb Magee and Jimmy Lyneham – all names most Philadelphians of a certain age would know. Basketball players who could shoot and run and loved the game. It meant teenagers like me would stand in their concrete backyards and dribble the ball with the left hand, then the right, and when they got to a court, they would shoot layups, driving into the basket, with their right hands, then their left. In another hotbed of basketball, the Midwest, former New York Knicks star and US Senator, Bill Bradley, practised each day as a teenager in Crystal City, Missouri, shooting hundreds of free throws. It was a labour of love.
When I first came to Sydney in the early 1970s, basketball wasn't a big sport. There was no National Basketball League (NBL), and the main games in Sydney were played in Alexandria Stadium … a glorified tin shed, hot as hell in summer and cold in winter (not as cold as a Philly winter, of course). I played basketball there and at Mitchell High School in Parramatta. The conditions weren't great and you had to chip in a couple of bucks (it's hard to remember as it was 40 years ago!) to pay the referees. But it was fun and the legendary Ken Cole was leading the way for the expansion of basketball from a national club championship to the NBL, from his base in South Australia. He played for four different State teams from 1961 to 1972 and was an Olympian at the 1964 Melbourne Games. http://bit.ly/1invbkY
In 1979, the NBL was launched and basketball has been on a roller coaster ride ever since, with its shares of ups and downs. There have been great players like Andrew Gaze and Luc Longley, both of whom also starred in the US where the sport still reigns supreme, even with the rise of European teams in recent decades. One player who also made a name for himself was Danny Morseu, the first Torres Strait Islander to represent Australia at the Olympic Games in 1980 and 1984.
And this week, he's known as Patty Mills' uncle. Yes, the same Patty Mills who helped the San Antonio Spurs win the National Basketball Association (NBA) Championship this week, scoring 17 points in 18 minutes against the 2013 title holders, Miami Heat. Morseu was one of Mills' basketball mentors and was in San Antonio to watch his nephew take on players like LeBron James, acknowledged as probably the best basketball player in the world today. Patty Mills was draped in the Torres Strait Islander flag after the game, along with another Australian, Aron Baynes, also a Spurs player, celebrating with an Aussie flag over his shoulder.
Patty Mills and his family are great role models for Indigenous Australians. His mother Yvonne was a member of the Stolen Generation, taken from her brother and three sisters at the age of 2 and a half and forced to live with a white family, thinking her mother had abandoned her. But she didn't find out until 1997 that her mother always wanted her children back. Patty's father, Benny, also a Torres Strait Islander, started a basketball club in Canberra for Indigenous kids who couldn't afford to play with a regular team.
Benny and Yvonne taught Patty to stand up against racism when he was growing up in Canberra, attending Marist College before getting a scholarship to the Australian Institute of Sport. Benny told The Australian's Will Swanton this week: "We told him, the best thing you can do is walk away." http://bit.ly/1spgMJx
When you see Patty Mills play basketball, you can tell his days of walking away are over. The photo above shows him scoring a layup against LeBron James, and his all-out hustle has endeared him to his team, his fans and his coach, Gregg Popovich, who paid him this compliment after the championship game: "He's a special guy. His energy has been important to us all year long. He's a real significant reason why we got to the finals. Obviously he's also played well in the finals but the energy, that team sense that he has, it has been infectious."
Mills' team play fits in well with the Spurs. They remind me of the New York Knicks' teams of the early 1970s, coached by Red Holzman and starring Bill Bradley, Willis Reed, Walt Frazier, Dave DeBusschere and Dick Barnett, with several other lesser known hoopsters who played the role of Patty Mills – coming on as substitutes and busting the game wide open. There is a wonderful book about the Knicks in that period called When the Garden was Eden, written by Harvey Araton. I've written about it in a previous post http://wp.me/p1Ytmx-a6 but if you are a big fan of basketball I'd suggest you get the book from Amazon or somewhere in the States. It's also about racism and social unrest in the late sixties and seventies, and how basketball helped change the face of racial relations in the Big Apple and the US in those tumultuous times.
I'm hoping the same thing will happen here where we also suffer from racism. I know young Indigenous athletes tend to play Australian Rules, and Sydney Swans coach John Longmire said he tried to get Patty Mills to switch from basketball a number of years ago to play for the Swans, but admitted "it's fair to say he made the right decision." And there are certainly two strong Indigenous role models on the Swans: Australian of the Year, Adam Goodes, and Aussie Rules superstar, Buddy Franklin.
But Patty Mills is now a free agent, and is likely to get a lot more than the $2.2 million he earned this year with the San Antonio Spurs. The New York Knicks are one of four teams who'd like to have Mills as a starting point guard, and he would be a perfect match for Madison Square Garden – the famous home of basketball in Manhattan. And, as we all know, if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere!
Yet, I have seen a number of players just go for the money, and regret not staying with a team like the Spurs, with a great coach, teammates like Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili and loving fans. Whatever his decision, though, 25-year-old Patty Mills has a bright future.
And basketball in Australia has a special role model to attract young Indigenous athletes to shoot for the hoops … and the stars.
Patty Mills: A role model shooting for the stars
I love basketball. I grew up in the mecca of B-Ball — West Philadelphia – where we played the game all year round, even in the winter when it was snowing. In fact, we used to shovel the snow off the courts so we could play on the concrete surface. Okay, maybe not in a blizzard, but once the snow stopped coming down, and the sun came out, we started playing half court.

Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Tyson Food, Inc. All opinions are entirely my own.
The best Mother's Day gifts are those that show you care and also put in some thought and effort. To think about the right gift for my mom I first thought about our relationship. I am fortunate to have a great bond with my mom, we still chat on the phone all of the time about the most important things in life. We also catch up on things that aren't the slightest bit important, like what movie I watched last night or catching up on gossip from the old neighborhood. Even though she can occasionally push my buttons like nobody else on the planet, my mom will always be my best friend and the one person I still go to for questions about life
Growing up my mom always used to make me breakfast in bed for my birthdays. What a way to kick off my special day in style, having a nice feast brought right to me without even having to set a foot on the floor. I thought that breakfast in bed would be a great way to pay back a little love this Mother's Day. My mom would never expect it which makes it all the more fun. That's so like her though, to be so unselfish and giving all of the time so that she is surprised and truly heart-warmed when something is done for her.
I encourage you to also try making a special breakfast in bed for your mom, or maybe a nice brunch together on her big day. There's actually a great sweepstakes going that started on 4/18: www.tysonlovesmom.com where participating shoppers will be entered for a chance to win one out of five $200 Walmart gift cards. It's easy to enter, you just need to post a picture of any of the following on Instagram or Twitter and hashtag it #Sweepstakes #TysonlovesMom and tag @TysonFoods:
- Your mom
- Your brunch with mom
- Breakfast in bed for mom
The Tyson Foods Mother's Day at Walmart sweepstakes is going to be a great one. Tyson Foods and Thomas'® have both been household brands that I grew up with. My dad never bought an English muffin that wasn't Thomas' brand, and I too reach for the orange and black bag every time. You can pick up the Thomas' The Original Nooks & Crannies English Muffins 12 oz. bag at Walmart. I love the taste of these with just a little butter on them, but they make for an amazing breakfast sandwich too, as you can see in my picture. For this I added Jimmy Dean® Regular Premium Pork Sausage, 16 oz. another brand and item that's been a clear choice for as long as I can remember. When commercials from the 1980s pop into my head then you know it's a brand that's been around and must make a darn good product. These sausages have all of the flavor to do breakfast right. I personally love the taste of an egg on top, preferably a little runny so the yolk runs down as it tastes so good with the sausage and English muffin. The big question for me was whether to make them open-faced or not. And what better way to round out a breakfast in bed meal than with Sara Lee® Pound Cake All Butter, 16 oz. Everyone loves Sara Lee, including my mom and me!
So show you care with a meal made up with these or others from the www.TysonLovesMom.com site. I am very happy with how my breakfast turned out and it was fast and easy to put together. It's nice being able to grab everything at Walmart, too. Moms deserve our very best, and I can't wait to share this Mother's Day gift.

Not long now, Saturday is fast approaching so as my last 'all about me' Wedding Wednesday it could only be THE DRESS! Although I have to say it's been a funny week so far that's very much replicated our first Wedding – Mr Bijou leaving everything to the last minute and thus me getting annoyed that I have to do all the organising for both of us. It's only Wednesday but I've already shopped and paid for the Mr's outfit (as he couldn't work out ASOS!), ordered drinks, finished all the decorations, made music playlists, organised a dog sitter, booked our taxi home whilst he simply played around with his DJ set. People don't change but what's suddenly dawned on me is that after 6 years together I know Mr Bijou inside out, I'd planned for his tardiness, his panic moments and his general lastminute dot com existence. And more surprisingly, I know myself a lot better than I did at 25yrs rather than flap around like a headless Chicken, I'm a lot more organised and calm knowing that we have the most wonderful friends who would turn an ice cream in the rain into a party.
Of course as a complete fashion addict the thing I have obsessed most about and organised before anything else has been the dress. I knew I wanted something special and unlike anything in my wardrobe or in fact my original Wedding dress. I also thought it would be nice to incorporate a hint of blue, as something blue, true blue and also my engagement ring's centre stone is Aquamarine. Apparently Aquamarine is the stone of 'courage and serenity', which I only discovered whilst writing this post perhaps that explains my new found calm! My thoughts manifested into…
You will have heard me say it before but I have met the most amazingly talented people working in the Wedding industry and one of them is Charlotte Wilden owner of Wilden Bride London – read all about her here. Charlotte amazingly found time in her hectic schedule to create a bespoke dress for me. Charlotte is the most softly spoken and gentle person I've ever met, she kept my crazy in check throughout the whole process. First we started with above board and a lengthy discussion from which Charlotte came up with these sketched ideas.
The middle design was by far my favourite it incorporating the big skirt I so wanted, short sleeves (which were a must as I'm self conscious about my arms) and the most bananas idea – a burn hole pattern around the hem. Charlotte and I had been discussing how amazing the Giles Deacon LFW show (read the post here) had been and being the incredible designer she is, Charlotte fancied putting her own spin on it with a bespoke Bijou design.
All the way through the process Charlotte would share images with me like the above to show how the bespoke patterns were coming along or what the fabric layers would be like together. As much as I trusted Charlotte to make something with wow factor my biggest fear was how it would suit my body shape and if I hated it what could I do about it. My only previous experience of bespoke design was funnily enough at my Wedding. The two bridesmaids couldn't find a dress that suited them both and whilst having my final Wedding dress alterations the seamstress mentioned that she could whip something up. My sister found a designer grecian style dress and asked her to use that as a basis but to add sleeves and use a grey fabric. As it was all rather last minute (seems to be a running theme with my family) the girls went to collect them on the morning of the Wedding. They came to pick me up from the hairdressers hysterically relaying how awful the dresses were – nothing like the picture, frumpy etc etc. We raced home and they showed me… they were dreadful and we fell about laughing. I tell my client's that there will always be one thing that doesn't go to plan on the Wedding day and this was mine. My styling skills came into good use though and I found two black dresses in our combined wardrobes, adding the only salvageable thing from the bespoke dresses the middle sash and they looked fab. So as you might expect I was nervous when it came to the first fitting.
The dress was in two parts and given the plain toile it was hard to picture how all the colours and patterns etc would come together. Most importantly though the shape was lovely and Charlotte was very accommodating with my suggestions of a slightly lower neckline and dipped hem. Charlotte having got my style so perfectly found these awesome shoulder pads for me too.
I'm happy to report that I had the final fitting 10 days ago and the finished article is stunning and has exceeded all my expectations. I cannot wait to get it home on Thursday night and try it on with all the accessories. As it is so beautiful I'm going to change into something else for the riotous disco in the evening, this dress has been so carefully crafted it deserves some respect. And as a final sneak, I can reveal that it is going to have feathers just like the Louis Vuitton dress I so adore.
I cannot sing Wilden Bride London's praises highly enough, Charlotte is an absolute doll and definitely one to watch. If you want to ask Charlotte as the expert or myself as a client, any questions about bespoke Wedding dress design do leave a comment below. Or just wish me luck for Saturday!

Take your time getting to know people. Chat, discuss, flirt make new buddies. Although our chatline is structured for telephone you never have to meet with anyone for a date. Many of our members favor just to chat. If you are interested in relationship (as most of our members are) there isn't any reason to run into dating someone. There are thousands of girls and guys . If by chance someone behaves inconsistently or oddly, simply quit discussing with them. Go on. Remember that everyone likes to describe themselves in the greatest manner … and a few people go to much with this and just out right lie. If someone just appears 'wrong', trust your instincts, go chat with another person. You are totally possible to make a link that is fantastic that's many others at Girls Chat Free Chatline. Don't waste time with women or guys you just don't enjoy.
WHEN YOU'RE prepared only authorization to a date. You constantly have the right to alter your mind if you decide to organize a meeting. You have got every right to stay anonymous if you determine that's finest for you. Trust yourself. Go with your instincts. As with any dating service, our free chatline cannot determine for you if or when to meet with someone. That is completely your responsibility. As such, you have got every right to decide when, or if, you should meet with anyone.
Doing some background checking account is advisable. We don't infringe anybody's privacy by doing background checks because solitude and being anonymous is what Chat Line Call is founded upon. However, there isn't any rule that you aren't capable to assess the history of someone's. Especially when you decide to meet afterward. If fact, we had support members to do their own research before dating. And, that should apply to any dating service. You should begin by altering some private information if you consent to meet. Subsequently, using Internet search engines, do some background checking account. Use your heart along with your head. Effort Dating Security Test or Instant Background Checks if you have to get seriously interested in doing a background check. For a bit of cash, you can get lots of information on as many as you need relationship partners. NOTE: If you strike someone underage be responsible and alarm our customer service team.
Get people get your trust. In a perfect world, everyone would tell the truth. Yet, in this world, some people do not. Take all the time you must analyze the trustworthiness of someone's. If you suspect someone is lying, they probably are. If you decide to take your relationship to the next amount, be smart and take the time to ensure this man is worth spending intimate time with.
If you see any warning signs, slow down or halt. Pay attention to displays of unneeded anger, intense frustration or attempts to drive you. Acting in a passive aggressive manner, making demeaning or disrespectful comments or virtually any improper, competitive behavior are all warning signals. You should be concerned if your date acts in an unacceptable manner, particularly without supplying an explanation that's satisfactory. This comprises lying about age, marital status, employment or profession, family history. If someone needs to keep some things private, great. If someone always fails to provide true answers to direct questions (or becomes overly delusory), that is a huge warning signal. Do not disregard it.
Consistently meet in a safe place. Always tell a friend where you are going and when you may return if you decide to meet someone. Leave your date's name and telephone number with your pal. Never arrange for your date. Provide your own conveyance. Active, public place make brilliant assembly places for example eateries, a coffee houses, art galleries, public parks or big celebrations for example a concert. Refrain from drinking excessively. This will impair your ability to make selections that are excellent. Take your own car, if at some point you and your date decide to go to another place. Consider making a phone call to tell someone (or leave a message all on your own mobile) that you're going with your date to a brand new place. It really isn't impolite to let your date.
When traveling to another city or town to meet with someone make sure you have your own automobile and hotel room. DO NOT disclose the name of your hotel and never allow your date. Call your date from the hotel or meet at a public place you agree upon. If the location seems inappropriate or dangerous, trust your instincts and shift the place. Always make sure a friend or family member knows your plans and has your contact information. And if it's possible to do thus take a mobile phone in the least times. Traveling to meet with someone in another city is an interesting encounter. Keep a fun, memorable experience to it by being smart about security.
In case you are feeling dangerous or uncomfortable at any time, leave. Meeting and relationship new folks is all about having fun. That is not enjoyment if a position, place or individual makes you uneasy or unsure. Never do anything that makes you feel dangerous or doubtful. Use your best judgment to diffuse the situation and get out of there. Excuse yourself to telephone a friend for guidance; ask someone for help; simply say you are done for the night or call a cab and leave. Never worry or feel embarrassed about your selection to not be dangerous. In case it turns out you over reacted, so what? Apologize and proceed. Your security is consistently more important than anyone's view of you. Again, relationship and meeting folks is about romance, experience and having an excellent time, if this changes, the date is over, go home.
Have as much fun and fulfill as many people as you need. Flirting and relationship is about loving yourself, having fun and linking. We wish you safe and a fun chatting and relationship encounter.

Originally known as Buckingham House, the building which forms the core of today's palace was a large townhouse built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1705 on a site which had been in private ownership for at least 150 years.
It was acquired by George III in 1761 as a private residence for Queen Charlotte, and known as "The Queen's House". During the 19th century it was enlarged, principally by architects John Nash and Edward Blore, forming three wings around a central courtyard.
Buckingham Palace finally became the official royal palace of the British monarch on the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837. The last major structural additions were made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the East front, which contains the well-known balcony on which the royal family traditionally congregates to greet crowds outside. However, the palace chapel was destroyed by a German bomb in World War II; the Queen's Gallery was built on the site and opened to the public in 1962 to exhibit works of art from the Royal Collection.
The Palace at the time of the above map had a facade of soft French stone that became blackened over the years due to pollution. The familiar white Portland stone facade of the Palace that we see today wasn't added until 1913 by Architect Sir Aston Webb.
