Ranchi: Night train services on the key Tata-Kharagpur section have resumed 19 months after a horrific rail crash in Jharkhand left 148 people dead, an official said.
The Purusottam Express, the Tata-Kharagpur passenger and other trains services were resumed Thursday night. The Purusottam Express left at 12.10 am and the Tata-Kharagpur train left at 12.40 am from the Tatanagar station.
Night trains were halted on the Tata-Kharagpur and Rourkela-Chakradhapur sections after the Gyneshwari train accident in May 2010.
Night train services on the Rourkela-Chakradhapur section were resumed on December 20, 2011.
The resumption of night train services has brought relief for the passengers.
"We had to face difficulties. The passengers had to wait the whole night at Tatanagar station. Now we are feeling relieved," said Santosh Kumar, a passenger.
The night train services were to resume from December 13 last year, but this was put on hold due to security reasons.
Political parties like BJP and others on many occasions had disrupted train services to demand the resumption of night services.

Book Review: The Goddess Inheritance by Aimee Carter
Goodreads summary:
Love or life.
Henry or their child.
The end of her family or the end of the world.
Kate must choose.
During nine months of captivity, Kate Winters has survived a jealous goddess, a vengeful Titan and a pregnancy she never asked for. Now the Queen of the Gods wants her unborn child, and Kate can't stop her--until Cronus offers a deal.
In exchange for her loyalty and devotion, the King of the Titans will spare humanity and let Kate keep her child. Yet even if Kate agrees, he'll destroy Henry, her mother and the rest of the council. And if she refuses, Cronus will tear the world apart until every last god and mortal is dead.
With the fate of everyone she loves resting on her shoulders, Kate must do the impossible: find a way to defeat the most powerful being in existence, even if it costs her everything.
Even if it costs her eternity.
My review:
This is a satisfying end to the Goddess Test series, but I have to admit it wasn't my favorite out of the series. I think the first book is the best, and the second went downhill. However, the third-ish book in this series, The Goddess Legacy, is definitely my favorite. I enjoyed it most because it's a collection of novellas, so we get to read about many of the other gods and goddesses, and I didn't have to suffer through Kate.
I think that's what kept me from completely loving this series. I simply can't stand Kate. She's not terribly whiny or selfish like some heroines I've read about, but she's definitely annoying to me. She's just way too naive at times. It makes her come across as a little girl who has no idea what she's doing.
I do like most of the other characters, though. Especially the gods. Greek mythology is one of my absolute favorite things to read about, and the gods in this book are just so fascinating! (But I'm still not totally crazy over Henry. He seems a little too wimpy to be Hades at times!) I also like the addition of Kate's baby. He was so cute and, even though I didn't like Kate much, I thought the way she loved and took care of her child was so sweet.
The Goddess Inheritance definitely starts off with a bang. The first 50-ish pages or so have lots of action and plot developments, and it was a great opening to the book. But after the opening, there's not a whole lot of major action until, of course, the end. Some parts of the storyline were a little slow or took too long to happen, but I did like the action scenes quite a bit.
Lastly, I just wanted to mention the writing. I'm not sure why, but I don't particularly care for the writing style. Sometimes, it was hard to keep my focus on the page and what was happening. This doesn't usually happen to me, and I can't pinpoint exactly what it was about it that I didn't like.
Although I've criticized this book a bit, I did enjoy it overall. It's a good, solid ending to the series and I enjoyed the mythology twists in it. I'm looking forward to reading what Aimee Carter writes next.
My rating: 7 out of 10 (3.5 stars)

James Murphy Working on LCD Soundsystem Final Show Live Album
Murphy also building a studio where he'll work on new music
LCD Soundsystem's last show ever, at Madison Square Garden on April 2 2011, has already been documented with the feature film Shut Up and Play the Hits. But, as James Murphy said last year, a four-hour concert film of the complete show
is also in the works, for which Murphy mixed the audio himself. Now, speaking with Rolling Stone, Murphy has confirmed that a live album of the show will be released in early 2014. Update: The concert film was included in the Shut Up and Play the Hits DVD/Blu-ray release.
Of the film and live album, Murphy said:
And finally, Jesus, the fucking live album. It's killing me. That's been just murder... I mixed it significantly differently than the film [Shut Up and Play the Hits], because the film is mixed for your eye and the record is mixed for your ears... It was like the concert happened, and then I spent the next year and a half fucking with it. I was like, "I'm done! Ah, shit. I gotta go deal with the fucking movie." I had to do Shut Up and Play the Hits, and dealing with the live footage, and mixing all the sound for the live footage, and then I had to do the whole four-hour concert and edit all that footage and mix everything. It was great, but also, like, shitting hell. It really just refused to die. I guess somebody else would just have someone else deal with the movie, but I'm an idiot and wanted to mix all that audio.
Murphy also told Rolling Stone that he plans to begin making his own music again next year. He's building a studio where he'll work, and it should be completed sometime after June. He's also still working on his massive undertaking of making New York City subway turnstiles sing.
Along with producing the Arcade Fire LP this year and remixing Bowie, Murphy produced a Julie Ruin song, directed a short film, worked with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, made a signature blend of coffee, wrote music for a play, and created a sound system called Despacio, among other things. Reflecting on the year, he said, "I was feeling irrelevant in not a bad way at all—I was like, 'Oh, I'm just a guy on the sidelines now,' which is great."

The app was launched earlier this week and it's an excellent app with a gorgeous interface. Let's have a look at the features and functions of the app below.

So, you can sync events and activities from both the applications. Once you install the app, it will ask you to connect the app with your Facbook or Google account. As soon as you finish the process, all your calendar events will be synced automatically. Also the U.S holidays will also included by default. It can connect with Facebook and LinkedIn to show the upcoming birthdays and events of your friends.
By default, the app will be in month view, you can tap on any day of the month to add events. Also, you can change the month and day view in the top right corner. To add an event or activity for today's date, tap "+" icon near to the "View" button. Settings of the app will be available in the left top corner. You can change notifications, preferences and add more Google accounts in there. Adding Events to the app is very simple. Just long press on the screen, you will get an event creation window with all the options.
In new events, you can add more people from your Google contacts, location, notes and much more. Share events in iMessage and Email by just tapping on the created events.

Disaster was imminent: The bride was due to arrive at any moment and the pianist called to say he wouldn't arrive in time. Fearing his fiance would have to walk down the aisle in silence, the frantic groom ran into the concert hall adjacent to the wedding venue – with stupendous results.
His luck led him to the music director of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, British conductor Bramwell Tovey. Disheveled and dressed in shorts, he agreed to act as substitute, dashing up to the piano ready to play the required Cole Porter's Night and Day… He even chose the closing piece.
"No one had told me what to play as the bride and groom walked out," he said. "So I decided to be traditional and went with the Mendelssohn march, which I finished with a big flourish."

gvfs fuse mount is not functional after logout and subsequent login

Bug Description
Binary package hint: gvfs
GVFS-backed mounts are working perfectly on fresh OS boot. After logout and following login every attempt to access $HOME/.gvfs (i.e. with ls or df) results in 'Transport endpoint is not connected' error message. At the same time $HOME/.gvfs is present in /etc/mtab. Also GVFS-mounts are accessible through FUSE when /usr/lib/
Branch of Ubuntu involved is hardy (with all current updates installed), version of gvfs, gvfs-backends, gvfs-fuse and libgvfscommon0 packages is 0.2.2svn2008040
- log into GNOME
- browse a network location using nautilus
- verify that the location is fuse mounted under .gvfs
- close your session
- switch to a vt and look to .gvfs or log again and do that, you should get an error saying that .gvfs is not connected
- install the update
- try those again, now .gvfs is correctly unmounted on logout, and on next login it's still usuable
I noticed that manual unmounting of $HOME/.gvfs before logout resolves the issue. Probably it should be automated somehow?

I have asked the same question in multiple places without answer. To further the question, why isn't gvfs-fuse installed by default? When a user mounts a share, they expect it to be accessible by ALL their applications, not just the core Gnome ones. I know that gvfs is a userspace filesystem, so why not mount it somewhere obvious in the user's home folder. Something like this maybe: "/home/

|Ross Peoples (deejross) wrote :
In Hardy Beta, you had to manually install it. I was not aware they had included it by default in the official release, but I am very glad they did. The only other real complaint (besides stability) that I have with it is the location of the shares. I really think they should be somewhere more visible, contained in a folder with a more meaningful name (e.g. ~/Volumes).
Like everyone else, I am also experiencing this bug. However, I actually have all my important stuff mounted using the /etc/fstab file. People tell me it's archaic to mount SMB shares using fstab, but it's the only reliable way to mount shares. I know they are thinking about phasing out the fstab file, but they really need to get gvfs reliable and matured before they do. Thus far, aside from bugs like these, they have done surprisingly well with its integration.
|Sebastien Bacher (seb128) wrote :
nobody is wanting to replace fstab, there is no only desktop users running linux
to get a stacktrace you can attach gdb to process and see if that's crashing, the issue there is that the mountpoint is not unmounter between session, if you get crashes that's a different issue

The only computer I am having this problem on is a fresh install Hardy 64 bit (DellXPS410.) (The problem just started a few days ago.) Previously this computer was a Gutsy to hardy update with no problems. My laptops were fresh hardy installs but do not suffer from this problem. The hardy-proposed does not correct the frequent gvfs mount point failures for me. I'll try to reinstall and see if the problem reappears.
|ma2412ma (ma2412ma) wrote :
Yes, it's installed by default now. However, please make the mount point more visible - I suggest not to mount it within the home directory, but for example in /Volumes. Would that create problems for a multi-user environment? In Mac OS X, that's exactly the central location where everything gets mounted.
|Sebastien Bacher (seb128) wrote :
why do you think that it would be better to have the mountpoints displayed? those are listed as mounts and the .gvfs mounts should automatically be used in a transparent way when you use an application not handling the gvfs locations directly
|Ross Peoples (deejross) wrote :
Try opening a file located on a gvfs mount using VLC or some other non-gnome application, and you'll see why. Even though the applications may use the Gnome file dialog, the dialog itself sometimes hides connected shares, depending on the application. VLC is one example of such an application. They only way to access media on a remote share is to connect to the share using the mount command.
Another use case for visible, and easy to find mount points: What if I need to access an something on a remote share via a command line application? The only way to get to those shares from the terminal is to find the mount points.
Also, I noticed something interesting...I don't even have a ~/.gvfs folder, even though I have gvfs-fuse installed and shares connected.
ma2412ma: Though it would be nice to have a /Volumes at the root of the filesystem, gvfs-fuse is a userspace file system, meaning that once you log out, those shares are disconnected. There would also be permissions issues, which is why it's best to have it in the user's home directory.

I think that ~/.gvfs is an appropriate location for fuse mounts. If
you want them to be more visible, then do: ln -s .gvfs Volumes. To
have gvfs create a real directory called "Volumes" in the home folder
doesn't seem like the "right" thing to do. To have it mount them in
/Volumes is definitely not the right thing to do. It violates the
linux filesystem hierarchy standard, which, i hope, is still followed.
Linux is not OSX, thankfully. Also, being that it's a user-space tool,
it only belongs in the home folder.

|Ross Peoples (deejross) wrote :
VLC is a widely used application and even though this may be their problem, don't count on them to fix it because they still haven't fixed a simple gui bug reported 5 years ago. But I'm not singling out VLC here, there are other applications I have come across that have the same behavior when it comes to gnomevfs/gvfs. The Gnome dialog simply won't let you select the shares. You have to manually navigate to their mount points. This in itself is frustrating enough, but having to right-click, show hidden files, and find .gvfs in my home folder (which I personally don't have for some reason) every single time you want to open a file with a non-gnome application is just plain stupid. Not to mention that I would have never found it if I didn't know how gvfs works.

About the comments regarding the 'hidden' .gvfs directory etc., what's stopping you from creating a symlink called "My Nice Shares" or whatever that points to the .gvfs directory, then it will be visible?

Ok, as mentioned, for NEW users or others who are not as computer literate, having to explain that their share is in a hidden using a seemly strange name is not user-friendly. It's supposed to be Linux for Human Beings. If I shared out my movies folder, and set it up on my girlfriend's laptop so that she could watch them with VLC, or mplayer, she would immediately ask me why she can't find any of the movies in VLC, but she can find them in the file browser (Nautilus).
I have given plenty of reason as to why it should default to being easy to find, so now I ask why everyone is so against it? If it helps users, why is it such a bad thing?
So to answer your question, sure, I could make a symlink.....I COULD....not my girlfriend, not my grandmother, not my father, etc. And these are the people Ubuntu is targeted to.
|Sebastien Bacher (seb128) wrote :
could you describe exactly in what situations those mounts are not accessible, using in preference an application installed in the default installation?
openin something from nautilus should transparently call software which don't support vfs uris using the .gvfs directories, the fileselectors have those mounts in the sidebar and those should work transparently the same way, how do you access those shares if that's not by using nautilus or a fileselector widget?
don't get those comments wrongly, that's not a refuse to fix the issue but it's not clear than having an extra directory is the right way to deal with the issue, having those listed as normal mounts and available in nautilus, in the GNOME places, etc should be transparent for the users and they should not have to figure where are the mounts, if you face issues there might still some work to do though

Of course I can make a symlink, but as Ross Peoples correctly writes, Ubuntu is for human beings and not (just) for Linux nerds. That's why it should just work. I understand that /Volumes is not the right location, but then it should be ~/Volumes and not a hidden folder.
Concerning the question why we should need to access the folders in .gvfs directly:
1. Try to open an OpenOffice document on a samba share.
2. Try to compile a LaTeX document on a samba share with gedit and the LaTeX plugin.
3. Try to do anything with the shell with stuff on a samba share.
Replace samba share above with SSH, FTP, ...

ma2414ma said it better than I probably could. I even have problems opening files in gedit for editing using gvfs via FTP. It tries to load them, then just stops and leaves you with a blank window. Another directory in the home directory may not be the best way to do it, but neither is a hidden folder in the home directory. I think ma2414ma's suggestion about having a symlink to .gvfs by default would work pretty well. It would certainly make it easier to find, as well as make it possible for someone like jmcantrell to remove the symlink in case you want to hide the directory. Also, it sounds like something that could be easily implemented by the devs.
jmcantrell: I don't think it is obvious at all why it should be hidden. Out of curiosity, what is your reasoning for having the directory hidden? I'd like to get a different point of view on the subject.

those comments are not really constructive there, gedit has issues because it's still using gnome-vfs and claim supporting vfs uris so nautilus call it using those uris, the way to fix that is to switch gedit to use gvfs and not to display implementation details to the user. try opening a text file over ssh using emacs and the fuse mount will be used automatically for example, do you have other issues examples?

the reason why it's not a standard directory is because implementation details should not be showed to the users, they don't care what a mount is and what is the mountpoint, those should simply listed as mounted locations and being easily accessible in the file manager, file selectors and other desktop locations where they are required
|Ross Peoples (deejross) wrote :
I agree that it should just work without ever needing to know how, but because of examples like those already given by myself and ma2414ma, not all applications are using gvfs (and some, like VLC don't play nice with it) yet, and it could be quite some time (or never) before they do. Providing a visible location for the mount points provides a workaround for the problems that currently exists. But even if those problems all got addressed, you'd still need the mount points in order to use the terminal with connected shares. Though it has already been mentioned that Linux is not OS X (and I too am glad it's not), Apple is all about the user experience and obviously they felt that having a /Volumes folder was sensible.

clear on what the difference is, other than gnome/nautilus sees one
and not the other.
we've already established that mounting user-space volumes outside of
the home folder is a no-no. exposing the mount points as a visible
directory in the home directory does not exactly follow with the gnome
standard. it doesn't exactly fit with what I, personally, would want,
but if you were following gnome's lead, it would have the volumes
visible on the desktop (similar to other mounted volumes), which could
be turned on/off via gconf editor
whether or not to create a symlink to ~/.gvfs seems pretty pointless.
If you want the link, create it.. if not, don't.
also, i don't mean to be a party pooper, but does any of this

Hm, I'm not so sure that mounting user-space volumes outside of the home folder is a no-no - if there's a folder for that purpose, I think it should be used to mount also the .gvfs stuff (just as it is used now to mount USB drives and so on). There are some folders outside the home that are writeable for non-root users (such as /tmp) right now. So why not mount everything in /media?
Second, it seems to me that all non-Gnome applications would benefit from this. Since not even all Gnome apps can handle it now (gedit), this would be really helpful. My second example went unheard - OpenOffice.org. It's strange that emacs supports gvfs, probably a Gnome GUI version? Can you really open a text file from nautilus on an smb:// address and emacs doesn't complain?
Seems stupid to me to "enhance" each program with the gvfs support when it'd be so easy to just mount the SSH/samba/FTP/... stuff to a regular location in the file system hierarchy - IMHO, gvfs would be a real killer feature then.

Does this also fix the problem with CIFS mounts?
They are not properly unmounted on logout either, resulting in the system hanging on logout waiting for server responses and flooding the terminal with CIFS communication errors.
One has to manually unmount them before logout to circumvent this.

The fix in hardy-proposed doesn't seem to fix my ftp mounts. They still disappear and I have to re-mount them after logout/login. Is that supposed to work that way? It's really annoying and seems like a definite regression from Feisty/Gutsy. I much prefer having my ftp mounts stay available.
Please take a look at bug 235390 (https:/
The latest 'fix' doesn't fix the bug for me. This is my situation for if you want to try to reproduce it:
1. Make a Samba share on another server. Mine are unpublished i.e. you don't see them when browsing the network, but you can "cd" and log into them after which they become visible in Nautilus.
2. Use Gnome Commander to open a source code file in gedit.
3. Edit and save the file. After a couple of saves at most you get a "Transport endpoint is not connected" error and an "ls -al" of the .gvfs directory returns this:
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? .gvfs
Elaboration about point 2 above: I use Gnome Commander to open a source code file by navigating via the ~/.gvfs directory

I'm seeing this issue in Natty.
It is a fresh install, my home directory is encrypted and it has annoying consequences, such as Déjà-Dup failing to backup my home directory because of ~/.gvfs ("Transport endpoint is not connected"). And since the .gvfs folder cannot be browsed to, I can't even add it to the list of excluded directories in Déjà-Dup (I figured out how to work around this by manually editing the corresponding GConf key though).
bash: cd: .gvfs: Transport endpoint is not connected
Should I re-open this bug, or should I file a new one?
I can confirm the bug on natty with the same symptoms that osomon is seeing.
I have the same behaviour as osomon, pretty annoying. is there any chance to get it fixed?

If someone could instead point out what command(s) are used to do the magic service's initialization, we might be able to "restart" it within a session instead of cycling through "logout -> login".

I'd like to confirm sighting of the .gvfs "Transport endpoint is not connected" bug in Xubuntu 11.10 Oneiric.
The problem is as described in the post from 2008-06-20 in this thread:
Thunar won't show the contents of /home/ubuntu, due to the issue with .gvfs .
And ls -la of /home/ubuntu shows broken permissions for .gvfs :
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? .gvfs
Additionally, I see the same broken permissions on /etc/mtab and ~/.bash_history . I can "fix" the broken permissions on ~/.gvfs with "umount .gvfs". But, due to the corruption related to .bash_history , Thunar still will not display the contents of $HOME. It fails with:
Error stating file '/home/
Corruption in mtab prevents Thunar from displaying the contents of /etc :
"Error stating file '/etc/mtab': Input/output error."
On the command line, a simple attempt to see what's in mtab with "sudo cat /etc/mtab" results in:
cat: /etc/mtab: Input/output error
Now, I'm far from an expert in these matters.
But I suspect that losing I/O access to mtab, even for root, is not a good or desirable feature.
I'm running a more or less out-of-the-"box" Xubuntu Live install from a USB drive.
This is a stock Oneiric install, as installed to an 8GB Kingston DataTraveler drive by Universal USB Installer, with 2GB persistence file. It's running on an Asus branded Intel Atom eeePC netbook.
The workaround from this thread (posted originally on 2008-04-27 and re-visited more recently on 2011-11-07) has been reposted various places around the 'net:
fusermount -zu ~/.gvfs
from eg.,
But this doesn't address whatever the underlying problem is with GVFS.
It appears that this has been a known bug in GVFS since early 2008, when this thread was opened, and an identical bug was reported in the Fedora 9 forums:

the Wakefield Doctrine (…really? jeez a little caught up in this thing?…)
'All Along the Watchtower' (…slight return)
Yeah, I know. How do you think I feel, I'm the one stuck with an idea that won't go away and stays until it finds it's way into a Post.
But re-writing song lyrics? Dylan??!! mf the things this Doctrine makes me do. Damn. Not that it matters, but every now and then I get a glimpse into the process that has been created by the Wakefield Doctrine in general and by this blog in particular. And sometimes it scares me. But then it passes, because the Doctrine will be served and melodramatics aside, I do this thing because I want to, for myself (and my people, of course). Will not name them but only one of the three (types) see a value in the Doctrine in changing (oneself). (As we say out here in the damn troposphere: read, learn and buy a hat).
(…so hum the melody, preferably the Hendrix version, and sing along!) (…and don't tell Bob)
the thing called the Wakefield Doctrine
this is our blogs name
theory of clarks, scotts and rogers
it will soon find fame
so hum the tune in your head
as you continue to read
it will all come to make sense by the time you are through,yeah
there are just three kinds of people
among all that are alive
clarks and scotts and the rogers
I swear this ain't no jive
each can be seen out in the world
if you just know what to look for
keep humming Jimi in your head, I have a whole lot more, yeah
clarks are the first of the three
they all live in their heads
they make up all kinds of stuff
they are really creative
but they barely ever relate
almost nothing is true
their only hope for a normal life are the other two,yeah
then we have friends that are called scotts
talk about a clear type
they might bark and they might bite
but they are a whole lot of fun
give them credit they know how to live
from them we can learn
to live and not think too much, always on the run, yeah
finally we have our rogers
the third of our three types
they are the exact ones, the engineers
the judges and the lawyers
they keep life civilized
if it were not for the rogers
we would not not have the damn internet and this would not be here, yeah
so my apologies to Zimmerman
for using his Watch Tower song
am getting near to the end, it won't be too long
I can't believe I get like this
trying to just write a blog
but that is in fact my fate
let us end this now, isn't the Wakefield Doctrine great, yeah
…excuse me getting me kinda nervous now. I may be a developing fictional character, so am not easily surprised but wtf was that? Teacher! CSR101 Teacher, you might want to get some of that reality sawdust that janitor uses, have slight spill outside artsy class! not that I don't admire the effort but don't these Progenitors have lives? I did say that I was fictional, right? yeah developing too, grow up Mr. Miller!…really I just think that these Doctrine people…including those Downstreams? Handstands? whatever they call themselves ought to get together and chip in for a life for these poor people …either that or work a lot harder and get this blog thingie a lot more famous than it is…maybe more with their Fashion line, btw I love their hats…maybe tee shirts too!…I know! I know! how about: "I (heart) Janie Sullivan", no! wait! even better…"Janie is a figment of your imagination…you wish" lol get that out and sell a million of them on the internet and maybe these poor Progenitors can have a quiet time in their golden years…I understand there is a retirement home, Weber Old Folks Home I think it is called where the decor is done in mid-20th C college dorm and all the meals are served cafeteria style…they even have 'stereos' in the rooms – whatever those are…so all you Readers write something so these guys can get some rest…I am not going to stay an imaginary high school student forever you know…ta
OK. That about wraps up this late night edition of the Wakefield Doctrine. Oh, oh, before I forget…big shout out to our newest RITC (Reader Willing To Comment) Lance. Hey thanks Lance! Let us know if you liked the Post you were Commenting on because it was written in 'French' and you live there or because it was written in French and you couldn't figure wtf we were up to…in any case thanks for the Comment. (btw went to your blog, I really, really hope you are a physician or at least someone in the medical field, lol)
Want to thank Mr. B for his video to accompany our little 'blog as lyrics', totally still prefer the Hendrix version. Something a little light to take us out?

Thanks for sharing, I found this story while surfing for music events, interesting comments and good points made.
…and why not get "caught up in this thing"? Thank you for the good Post today:)
Look at my moniker. Says "Downspring". Implies I have a level of understanding of the Wakefield Doctrine that goes beyond novice. This is true. I have been privy to the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers for many years however it was not until this blog that I started to pay closer attention and be more conscious of applying the theory in my day to day people dealings and I must admit I have been rather enjoying it.
Here is an example for the skeptics out there – and REMEMBER- the Wakefield Doctrine is NOT limited by age, gender, economic status, social status or any other type of status you can come up with.
So here it is.
I just picked up a part time gig in a grocery store. As you can imagine not a pleasant thing and yet what a fine petrie dish it is. One night early in my first week(only worked there for a week but feels like years) I ended my shift by buying some groceries. A young cashier (high school) cashed me out. We chatted a bit. Keep in mind I had been "observing" her interacting with the other young people working there (cashiers and baggers) throughout the shift.(rogers aplenty).
We are chatting pleasantly and as she bags my groceries she asks me how I like working there. As I start to give her my diplomatic clarklike answer of "oh, it isn't so bad, etc" I noticed the very slightest of change in her look, in her eyes. "Quick", I tell myself, "she is looking to see if I am one of them"!" So I amended my answer to include "yeah, not bad but they screwed up my first day and already called me on my day off to see if I would come in to work".
Got the expected commiserating look and response. Whew! I slid by on that one:) Rogers are rogers no matter their age and if I couldn't stand there and bitch about "the man" well then I wasn't one of them.
Guess I was out of practice.
Have identified one bagger as a clark. We have never spoken a word to each other. When he comes to bag for me I look at him and do the head nod. Understood.(yes, clark, his shoulders are slightly hunched)
The only scott I have identied is a pleasant guy maybe ten years younger than myself who is mainly doing stuff somewhere else in the store but is occaisionally called upon to help bag. He is always "on" in that the energy level exceeds those around him – not in his movements – his voice – his exuberence – the way he talks to people or rather he "tells" to people. I jokingly asked him the other day while he was bagging for me (and telling me what a good job I was doing), with the "you can do its" (thank you my scottian friend) if he was a life coach in his former life. Just a smile from him and he left.
Glenn? Are you there baby? My store director is indeed a roger and unfortunately you would not like him. One bit. He be a candy ass and needs some lessons in how to properly run the joint.
Thank goodness he hired me….
Yo! I hears you, baby. You shouldn`t be bustin`that fine Clarkian ass slavin`in no man`s market. Come on over my side the street, sister. Make some real bread, yo! You feel me?
I wanted to thank you for this excellent read!! I definitely enjoyed every little bit of it. I have you bookmarked your site to check out the new stuff you post.

Tim Roth stars in this suburban tale with an otherworldly twist as Skellig, a seemingly weakened bird-like angel who young Michael finds living in a shed at the far end of his parent's garden. Distraught by the news of his baby sister's congenital heart problems, Michael is in need of a friend, and Skellig may be the unlikely soul to fulfill that duty. Funny, fantastic, and rooted in reality, this unconventional family-friendly mystery-fantasy is based on an award-winning novel by David Almond and co-stars John Simm (Doctor Who), Kelly Macdonald (Transpotting), and Bill Milner as Michael.

Customer Service Tips for Moving Companies
We rarely hear about moving companies doing an excellent job – we only hear when things go wrong. And typically, when things go terribly wrong.
We're lucky enough to have a few friends over at the American Moving and Storage Association (AMSA) who are doing things right. Today, AMSA's quarterly newsletter reached inboxes nationwide, featuring our tips to help moving companies "move" from good customer service to great customer service. We've written a guide for improving customer satisfaction, reviews, and feedback which we hope you'll find useful.
To our moving company friends, read our post in Supply Line and see if you can implement our best practices to improve customer experience. Let us know if you see great results!

Bucket List trailer
Despite starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, the Rob Reiner directed dramedy THE BUCKET LIST has pretty much flown completely under the radar. In it, the veteran A-list Hollywood heavyweights play men afflicted with terminal cancer who escape their hospital "confinement" in order to fulfill an extensive "to-do" list before they die. Even though not a lot of people are paying attention to this film, it could sneak up on everybody and start racking up awards come awards season. It's a decent enough story and considering both of these guys have a knack for absolutely shining in understated roles in smaller indie films, what more could you ask for? Check out the trailer over HERE. The film opens January 11th of next year (with a limited release starting Christmas Day).

HURRAH for six-year-old Hula Hoop champion Faith Simms – who stunned onlookers by doing 4,409 rotations in a Churchtown primary school competition.
Faith swivelled her way to success in the contest which was set up as part of a health initiative to keep pupils active at lunchtime.
The Year One pupil, who lives with her proud mum and two sisters on Vernon Road, out-spun children much older than herself and was named 'Churchtown Champion'.
Elaine Pursall, lunchtime coordinator, organised the competition in the playground at the St Cuthbert's Road school.
She said: "Faith is a lovely bright and bubbly kind of girl and is full of energy.
"The way she focused on the task in hand was amazing – because you can imagine after a couple of hundred it would get pretty tiring.
"We told her that she could stop if she wanted to, because she had already won, but she just kept on going.
"I think it was the wind that blew it at the end. She had a big crowd around her and everyone was cheering her on."
All pupils at the school were given the chance to take part in the competition if they wanted to.
Elaine said:"It was an excellent school effort from hundreds of children in the school. I hear Tesco are selling hula hoops like hot cakes now!
"Some of the adults even tried, but they weren't very good, and the headteacher was there to cheer Faith on."

U.S. Open: Leader Kaymer bends, but hardly breaks with Saturday's 72
PINEHURST, N.C. — It's often been said that a person's eyes represent a window to their soul.
But in the case of Martin Kaymer, the wire-to-wire leader of the 2014 U.S. Open after three rounds (54 holes), it may be easier to gauge his under-pressure personality by simply asking about a chance encounter with a squirrel.
Here's the scene: During Saturday's round, Kaymer had repeatedly flirted with danger, through a series of missed fairways and squandered birdie opportunities. But while playing at the 15th hole, Kaymer was seemingly on the brink of pulling things together and perhaps finishing with an even-par 70.
That is, before he engaged in a friendly, but territorial battle with the aforementioned squirrel.
When queried about the meeting at the 15th — a hole Kaymer would eventually bogey — the one-time majors winner (2010 PGA Championship) affably smiled and said: "Oh, the squirrel? I mean, they live here (in the Pinehurst woods). We are just distracting their home."
At this point, it's going to take more than a feisty woodlands creature to derail Kaymer's chances of winning this U.S. Open. Yes, he floundered a bit with Saturday's 72 (2-over par) … but it still trumped the Day 3 field average of 73.82 strokes.
And through it all, Kaymer, who established a 36-hole record at the U.S. Open on Friday (lowest aggregate score: 130), still leads the tournament by five strokes (over Rickie Fowler and Erik Compton).
"I made three bogeys the first six holes. Therefore, I (eventually) kept it very well together," said Kaymer, who is currently one of six golfers below par. "I didn't play as good as the first two days. Today … I think the USGA, they listened (Friday), unfortunately, and they put the pins in very, very tough positions.
"I think 18 was the only pin where you could be aggressive. The other flags, if you hit it to 25 feet, it was a good shot."
On the flip side, Brendon Todd, Kaymer's playing partner, struggled mightily at Pinehurst, carding a 79 and tumbling 28 spots down the leaderboard (from 2nd to 30th).
In the first seven holes, Todd tallied one birdie, one double bogey and four bogeys.
"I wasn't trying to shoot 65, I was going out there to try and shoot a solid round and see what happens," said Todd, who will be paired with Phil Mickelson on Sunday. "I was really still playing for pars. And they were just that difficult for me to get."
Kaymer, in turn, had a few seminal moments on the day: His bogey at the par-4 4th hole could have easily ended up as a 6 or 7 — thanks to an errant tee shot and subsequent difficulty with the sandy regions left of the fairway.
"The struggle was I didn't really understand the English that the referee was trying to tell me," said Kaymer. "So I said to my caddie, 'You have to take over here,' because he speaks better English than me, even though he's Scottish.
"So it was an unplayable lie, really. I was hoping for a free drop, but didn't get that one."
On the green, Kaymer was staring at a 25-footer for bogey, a putt that few of his fellow pros would have made on this day. But he coolly drained the putt and exalted from the moment.
The positive vibes carried over to No. 5, where Kaymer eagled the par-5 hole with a simple 15-foot putt serving as the culminating shot. It would serve as his only below-par experience for the next 12 holes.
At 18, Kaymer put some distance between himself and the other below-par challengers, making a 15-foot putt to clinch his first birdie of the round.
On earning birdie over par, Kaymer said, "it's only one shot. If you lead by three, four, five, six, seven shots, at the end of the day … the biggest challenge is that you keep going, that you don't try to defend anything.
"If you try to (swing defensively), then you change your game plan and you don't swing as free as usual. So that would be (my) biggest challenge (for Sunday)."
From a numbers standpoint, Kaymer and Brandt Snedeker (1-under for the week) currently share the tournament lead for birdies with 12 each. Digging deeper, Kaymer hit 10 of 18 greens in regulation (above the Saturday field average) and reached 10 of 14 fairways (also above the Saturday field average).
Kaymer, who'll be joined by Rickie Fowler for Sunday's final pairing, then added: "Five shots. I started (Saturday) with three bogeys, so that (lead for Sunday) could be gone quickly."
Fowler, one of only two golfers to break 70 on Saturday (3-under 67), doesn't hold any public proclamations of overtaking Kaymer on Sunday. But he isn't conceding defeat, either.
"The greens are fairly receptive when you are playing out of the fairway or if you have a clean lie in the native area. So the big thing is good ball-striking, to have control of your golf ball and landing it in the right areas," said Fowler, who strangely only connected on six of 14 fairways Saturday.
"… If you hit good shots and have control of your golf ball, it's definitely a playable golf course right now."

Start a Successful Summer Business Selling at Outdoor Markets
The summer is the perfect time to start thinking about doing something crazy, like starting your own business. School is out and people are taking vacations. This is the perfect time for you to start thinking about taking a vacation from your job and potentially making a lot of money. This is not to advocate quitting your day job. Instead, you should endeavor to create a side job you can get started with right now. Getting started will not require a major investment from you. Rather, all you're really going to need to invest is your time and your energy into making the business a success, and you can make a lot of money.
Where You Can Sell
One of the things that many people worry about when they're thinking about starting a business is where they will set up to start selling. If you're not sure about setting up a website and learning how to be an e-guru, and you don't want to draft a business plan so you can borrow the money to purchase a building, you can simply sell out outdoor markets. The summer is the perfect time for outdoor markets, and according to FOX Business, it is an ideal situation for you to establish your brand and start developing a following of people interested in buying from you all the time. If you look online, you're sure to discover plenty of festivals and markets happening all around you. All you have to do is contact the people putting on the festivals, markets or events to learn how you can get a booth space. You will need to pay a booth fee, and in some cases you may have to provide your own tent, but this is a much smaller investment than paying for a permanent location.
Get the Hardware You Need
As you're getting ready to show up to your first market, you need to make sure you have all the hardware you're going to need to sell your products, according to the Small Business Administration (SBA). Among the things you should have is a credit card reader that can attach to either your smartphone or your tablet. This will allow you to take credit card payments for everything you're selling. The more expensive your merchandise is, the more important having this kind of hardware is. Of course, you should also make sure you have a receipt printer from ecommerce service providers like Shopify to go along with the credit card reader. This way, you can provide a copy of the receipt to your customers if they want it. On the receipt you should make sure to include information about your business, including your website, social media connections, phone number and any other ways you would like to invite your customers to connect with you. Keep the information as brief as possible as you don't want to overload the receipt. These printers do not need wires or a power source as they run on Bluetooth connections and batteries. Just set it up and start using it.
Stop Hesitating and Start Acting
The first step is always the hardest when it comes to starting your own business. This is why ABC News suggests that you put down what you're looking to accomplish in writing. You don't have to get as detailed as writing out a business plan, but you should set goals, including dates when you're looking to accomplish certain milestones in the life of your business. If you're planning on attending your first event in a week, you'll have to look at all the steps you're going to need to accomplish on the days leading up to the event. By putting your plan down in writing, it is no longer a thought, it is now a plan. Putting a plan into action is a lot easier than putting a thought into action.
Keep It Going
The first time you go out will never be flawless. Even with all the planning in the world, you do not have the experience of actually showing up to the markets and selling to the crowds. Take stock in this and don't give up after the first event, even if it was a disaster. Instead, you should analyze what went wrong and how you can make it better the next time around. Each time you go out to the markets, you will sell more and be more effective in your role. You will start to learn what the customers are looking for and how you can make more money. If your new business starts to take on a life of its own, you may consider quitting your day job. Fast Company recommends you only consider quitting your job after the side job has proven itself, and not a moment sooner. Either way, you're going to have a lot of fun trying something new this summer.
