Analytical Study of Ecops: E-Governance Project by Government of Andhra Pradesh
The police force in Andhra Pradesh (AP) state, India, introduced a network-based system (eCOPS) in 2002 to help, among other things, improve the openness with which criminal cases are handled.
The concept of e-governance has made its way with Andhra Pradesh leading the country in the field of technological advances. With the launch of eCOPS in June 2002 and later its state-wide deployment on the web-enabled platform in 2008, Andhra Pradesh became the first state in India to introduce a state-wide online police network to improve the performance of state police units in controlling crime, maintaining law and order, and in administration. The connectivity across each of the police locations helps in saving of time on record maintenance, in minimization of duplicated work and in smoothening of processes to reduce the workload of the A.P. police while making it a more friendly organization with better output. What is more of an achievement in equipping the police force to access and deploy data anywhere, anytime and analyse them on real time basis is the extremely cost effective manner in which the process got developed and the wise use of technology and existing infrastructure that kept the maintenance expenses minimum. The fact that the ventures of AP Police have become an inspiration in e-governance has been confirmed by the recent initiatives of the police forces of Karnataka and West Bengal, who have come a good deal forward on a similar road, completing some pilot projects. Other state governments have also planned developments in this direction. E-governance is touted by many as the next great Indian revolution. Beyond the hype, however, is a growing movement in India and other Asian countries to experiment with governance through Internet. Governments of all political persuasions will feel the pressure to adapt their machinery to advances in ICT. The e-government environment meaning- less red tape, more transparent regulations, easier interactions-is where all will need to go and A P Police, through visionary steps and incessant work at all levels, have managed to inculcate the "why" of IT in the minds of the police force all over the state.
Application Description
In India, if a crime is committed, the victim (or a witness) must go to the police station where they live, and report the crime which is then said to be registered. The duty officer in the station fills in a First Information Report (FIR): a statement of details as recalled by the victim. Previously, this has been a paper-based process, and paper records were easily manipulated or lost. With the eCOPS system, a victim could go to any police station (not just their local one) and the duty officer can register the crime direct onto the system. eCOPS' contribution to transparency would arise from that fact that, once a case has been registered on the system server database it cannot easily be changed. The person who registered the case could also get access to case details and progress at any point, either by going to any police station and requesting an officer to access their case on eCOPS, or by accessing their case details online via the AP Police Web site using an FIR code number that is issued at the time of registration. Available case details would include the FIR, actions taken, actions pending, other crime details, etc. The victim could lodge a complaint if they see from accessing case details that the case has not been registered properly, or that there has been no progress made on the case since it was last accessed. Finally, senior officers in the police service could also use eCOPS to monitor case details and progress. All of this affects the transparency of case handling, and the accountability of police officers. The system is still at a relatively formative stage. At present, it only covers a limited number of functions, and only four pilot locations in the state. There are planned expansions to deal with mobile...

Hi Shelly, it sounds like a great book - thanks for sharing a bit of it with us. It reminds me of a seminar I took in the early 2000s (about 5 years before the first iPod Touch was released, so way before smart phones and social media).
The seminar was about how even though technology can be a good thing (it can be useful, it can be helpful, it can save time), we can easily let it waste our time and it ends up "taking control" of our lives instead of us controlling it. That results in less time we spend actually LIVING and less time being with other people, especially our loved ones. The lesson was for each person to decide/prioritize what's an appropriate amount of technology to allow into your life so that you're in control, and what technology you do have is truly helping you, not hindering you. That will be different for everyone, of course - there is no one size fits all.
The message really resonated with me and it has influenced every tech-related decision I've made since then. I know my priorities and I can assess if something will actually benefit my life, or if it will just end up wasting my time.
Thanks for all the posts lately, I'm loving Blog-tober!

Lazio's Cristian Ledesma could be set for a switch to the Premier League.
According to Sky Sports Italia, newly-promoted Watford are looking to strengthen their squad with the acquisition of Lazio's out of contract midfielder Cristian Ledesma.
The Argentine-born one-cap Italian international has spent nine years at Lazio, helping the club win two Coppa Italia trophies, with the latter being a 1-0 final win over bitter rivals Roma.
Yet after 235 Serie A appearances for the club, his contract has run its course and with no new deal in sight, he is free to walk away and join another club.
As per the reports, Premier League newcomers Watford, with the help of the Pozzo family, are looking to extend their Italian links and see Ledesma as an ideal addition.
"Watford are interested in 32 year old midfielder Cristian Ledesma, whose contract with Lazio expired after 9 seasons at the club. The contacts are ongoing," the report claims.
Would Cristian Ledesma be a good addition for Watford?
The 32-year-old offers a wealth of experience, but importantly he has proven in the last two seasons that he still has enough energy to play regular football at the very top level.
A defensive midfielder by trade, Ledesma averaged two interceptions and 1.7 clearances per Serie A match last season, while also chipping in with three assists over the course of the campaign.
Watford will need a big squad to overcome likely injuries and suspensions in 2015/16, and signing Ledesma on a short contract could turn out to be a masterstroke.

Magazine) -- You've been waiting for this moment for nearly 18 years: Your baby is almost ready for college. Your finances, not so much. The market's protracted free fall means that your college fund is now worth just a fraction of what you need. Your home's value has no doubt dropped sharply too - no help there. The only thing that keeps going up, you guessed it, is college tuition. So it's goodbye, Dream School U., hello, Central State, right?

The answer to drastically cutting costs is a method called "Credit by Exam" where students can take tests that are worth college credit. Many have used this technique to get college credit for work they've done in high school.
By the time these students graduate, they have amassed considerable credit and can jump into the college environment as sophomores or better. Credit by exam helps cut costs by more than 50%!
CLEP exams are one such set of tests worth college credit. They cost $80 and are worth between 3 and 12 credits a piece. That's a lot of bang for your buck!
Our organization, CollegePlus!, is one of many voices calling for government funding for credit by exam. We can help you earn your degree for a fraction of the cost of traditional education with none of its financial drawbacks!

Invisible is the first novel I have read by Ginny L. Yttrup, and it definitely won't be the last!! This is a must read-- for anyone suffering with guilt, poor self-image, fear, loss of a loved one and moving on... it hits them all.
From the very beginning, I connected with Ellyn, Twila, Miles and Sabina. I felt the love and support of Nerissa, Paco, Rosa and Antwone. This is a novel of healing, redemption and reconciliation and it is a well written story!! Please check it out! You can purchase the book here: Amazon.com, B&N, CBD.com, or The Book Club Network.
About the Author:
Ginny is an author, speaker and life coach from Northern California. Writing has been Ginny's life-long passion. Since meeting Jesus Christ as her Savior, Ginny enjoys using her talent to convey to others the unconditional love, grace and freedom found in God.
About the Book:
Ellyn, is a talented chef, a warm person and a good friend, but she's not happy in her own skin or comfortable around men. She struggles with her personal self-image and the voice (Earl) that constantly berates her in her mind... especially when she overeats, or thinks she might look pretty.
Twila, is an interesting young woman with a tattoo on her face. To most, the tattoo is off-putting, but she means it as a symbol and reminder for her to remember those who face pain, whether physical, psychological, or spiritual and to pray for them. She knows pain and what it is to lose the battle... she is still struggling to win.
Sabina is a successful psychologist who has been faced with the guilt of someone else's death. Twice. She carries the guilt and it threatens to bury her. She runs... from God, from her husband, from her practice and life.
They all desire to be invisible in one way or another. If they are invisible, they can't be hurt. But God desires more for them... more from them. Imago Dei. Created in the image of God. Each of them is created in God's image - what will it take to for each of these women to realize this?

Want to explore your spanking desires
Here we will cover basic techniques for beginners, to get you started with spanking.
First of all less is more
Warming up is essential, if you go straight in too hard it's game over.start with less force and build up. This will allow the bottom to be gradually warmed, and for your partner to get used to the sting. Once your warmed up, repeat the process remembering it's all about the quantity, and not how hard you can deliver the spanking. This approach can be enhanced with spanking tools like a paddle or feather ticker.
Spanking Areas
Some areas of the bottom are more sensitive, so try different areas to discover which parts of your lovers bottom are most sensitive. usually the lower buttocks are more sensitive on most . So go lightly with those areas that are more sensitive, and always listen to feedback from your partner,
Know when to stop
When using your hands to spank, you automatically know when it becomes painful, if it's hurting your hand, then it's certainly going to hurt the bottom.If this happens , caress the area if the pain is too intense, before you begin again.
Cover up
Spanking the bare bottom can be too intense for some, or if your just starting, you may need to build up some tolerance to the feeling. It's okay to start out wearing something on your bottom, until you feel comfortable with your tolerance for spanking.
Using equipment
When it comes to spanking, there are plenty toys to add to your collection, and increase thrill of spanking. Paddles, whips, feather ticklers and so much more are available to enrich the experience of spanking. it's best to start with something softer such as a paddle or tickler and build up to the leather whips etc.
Position carefully
There are many positions you can adopt for spanking purposes, and you'll find some more enjoyable than others, here a few classic and great starter positions to get you going.
Sapnking Positions
Some of the most popular positions for you beginner's to consider are as follows:
- Bent over a chair or table
- Bending your lover over your knees
- On the bed, laying face down
- Kneeling by the bed
- On all fours
- Standing bent over

As I write this there are no other comments yet on this particular post (but there might be by the time I'm done) and I feel weird being what could be the first comment because I don't know you personally and I have nothing special or inspirational to share.
But I just wanted to say that it's evident to me, one of your readers from far away, that you ARE strong and you ARE a good mother to all of your children and of course a good wife to Josh too. Just the simple fact that you ARE DOING IT (the parenting, the homeschooling, day-to-day routine, etc) shows how wonderful and strong you are. And I hope you will be able to see that too and find your confidence.
I think the doubt you're feeling is normal, though. You're in a situation that would be stressful to anyone - your husband/best friend/parenting partner is in a different state and you miss him, and your kids miss their daddy. Add pregnancy on top of all that (with everything it does to your body, emotions, hormones, etc) and anyone would have a hard time.
But remember this situation will NOT last, it IS temporary and your expanding family WILL be reunited. Your sacrifice now will reap a great reward soon.
Also remember that you and your family are being prayed for daily by people all over the place.

Oh Shelly, we're all winging it! I think some people just hide it better, haha! Remember when I cried at the park about Ferris going to Kindergarten? I was having all of those questions. It's okay to check in with yourself, sometimes an evaluation is necessary, "Is this working?" But most of the time we dont know the answer until after we make the decision and try it out.
I have to remember social media is a highlight reel, like a yearbook. Dirty laundry is pushed out of the frame (literally and figuratively). No one lives that Pinterest-perfect life.
I learned recently that just seeing negative words actually makes us feel bad. So, there's science behind, "Fake it 'til you make it." Also, your formula for happiness might not be the same as someone else's. (Watch Happy on Netflix!)
Find your sunshine! I love you!

I love the comment from W Bryant! And I agree!! I remember with each of my kids thinking i just get a handle on one thing and new stuff happens. And it is still happening. That is life.
Spend your thoughts on what you're doing right. There is no perfection in parenting. Find the joy!
Notice the good. Negative self talk, worry, it does no good. Gratitude, laughter, those are the best.
I loved the poem "Children Learn What They Live". It made me feel good about what you kids were learning. Read it and you will feel good. You are a gift. To them and to me.

Hi, Shelly. I don't know you but I sometimes feel like I do. I really appreciate how you infuse your writing with honesty, including the messy and confusing parts alongside the picture-perfect ones.
I too married my high school sweetheart; we've been married for 15 years and have 2 kids, 12 and 9. When the kids were 3 and newborn, we moved to Germany for 7 months and I blogged about the experience. Not the same as rural Alaska and certainly for a shorter duration, but I can relate to many of your reflections, particularly when you were first getting acclimated to Alaska.
Anyway, we've been back in the U.S. for many years now. Other than a brief 18-month stint as a SAHM after my second was born, I work full-time (happily) and I've never aspired to homeschool.
In general, I'm happy with the life my husband and I have created (are creating), and I think my kids are pretty happy and well adjusted. But not a week goes by that I don't wonder and worry about some of the parenting choices we are making. I think that's okay - healthy, even, to some extent. I like what you said about the inverse relationship between parenting tenure and confidence. I find this to be true in many arenas - the more I learn, the more I realize how much more I have to learn. It's both a blessing and a burden, but it's normal.
Hang in there. And thanks again for voicing what I think a lot of parents feel.

I love the quote at the end! I appreciate that you "take up space in the world" because you are a good example and even if you think you aren't good for anything else your boys think you are the most important person in the world.
Now that my kids are teenagers and pretty good kids I sometimes still agonize over how I did things when they were young. I wish I relaxed more with them and didn't stress out about being "perfect". So far they have turned out just fine. I tried to homeschool and found it was too stressful for me and when we quit I felt so horrible like I was failing them. But they are great kids and I think it was better for our relationship anyway! I'm not saying this is what you should do. This is just an example of something I feel I did right when they were young so I could be a better mom to them.
From what I have observed you are not a quitter of trying to be a good mom and I think that is one of the most important things you can give your kids.

First, OMG do you look like your mom when she was in high school (in the picture with the knitted cap). Secondly, I appreciate your honest writing. You are brave enough to say what all us moms feel and are probably too prideful to admit.
My girls are are 25 and 37, happily on their own and I STILL second guess my parenting. There is no manual for this toughest and most important job in the world. Just do the best you can, sprinkle lots of love around and I'm pretty sure those beautiful children of yours will be just fine.

Okay it's time for a confession and an admission……
I've been sick with a cold, and when I'm sick I turn into a giant baby!! When this happens all rational behaviour and thinking ends and I generally end up giving into a cravings and binge eat. Well this time I didn't really go too far overboard, but I did eat a chocolate bar for the first time in well over a month. Admittedly it was fantastic! Mmmmm the chocolatley goodness was great. I truly enjoyed it and when it was over a funny thing happened…… NOTHING! Nothing happened. There was no guilt from eating it. I didn't turn into a chocolate craving monster eating every ounce of chocolate I saw. I didn't unravel all the hard work I've been putting in trying to loose this weight and getting in better health. I guess the point I'm trying to make is things are okay in moderation. A chocolate bar every once in a while isn't a terrible thing, although I do not foresee me eating one for a bit, but I do see a big piece of Chocolate cake in my future since my birthday is April 24th and my wife's is the 25th.
I also wanted to mention even though I've been sick with this cold I have still been going to the gym for a swim and or aquafit classes and feeling great! I truly feel like I'm getting back to my old self again, but with more knowledge and self awareness ! Thanks for all the support.
Good luck and keep your head up!

*personal-personal blog post, because sadly, there is no more time to write on a diary*
Weird and unbelievable things happened last week.
Last Friday, we had dinner at a sushi buffet place. Along with us were three sisters/nuns. I think I've mentioned it once or twice in my posts that my grandparents have a lot of friends who happen to be sisters. One of them celebrated her birthday.
One of them was Sr. Francis who is based in Taiwan. I'm not sure if she's in the country to visit or has been staying here for quite some time already. It was the first time I met her. Knowing she was from Taiwan, I asked her if she knew Chinese. She said yes, and she asked me something in Chinese. Fortunately, I answered her question correctly! The question is no big deal (what is your name?) but answering it right felt like an achievement, although I didn't answer in Chinese… so I failed! Again. She asked me another question and this time, I got it wrong. She said, "Ni zhu zai nali?" and I thought it was something like where are you or where are you going, because I heard zhu as chu. And I know my logic is flawed by inferring that, because it made no sense at all.
I'm weird. I never bother learning phrases. Ever. Lesson learned.
I also remember having dinner at a restaurant somewhere in Ermita some years back with two nuns as well, but I wasn't too sure if they were the same nuns I was with during this dinner.
"I think I remember you! You were the ones we had dinner with before in that restaurant," one of the nuns told me.
"Diba sumakit pa nga tiyan mo 'nun?" the other said.
"Haha, opo, ako nga ho 'yon!" I replied.
So it turned out they were the same ones I had dinner with a few years ago!
I still clearly remember my stomach hurt so bad that time I couldn't even eat, even if the dessert that time was mango sago. Nothing made my upset stomach feel better, and it was so embarrassing because I kept on having to excuse myself from the table to go to the bathroom. When the sisters found out about how I was feeling, they were sweet and thoughtful enough to give me an ointment to wipe on my abdomen. I still remember my tita telling me how fascinating it is to know that the nuns "believe" in the power (power?) of the ointment.
I never forgot that day, for some reason, because I always had that ointment inside my wallet.
Since the sisters brought the topic up, I opened my wallet and showed to them the ointment they had given me two years ago.
I still had it with me!
I found the happening to be so cool and quite unbelievable.
When I went home and turned the wifi on of my phone, it notified me of my unread messages on WeChat.
One of them was Victor who sent me his location (WeChat is cool for having that feature!) and the name of the airport of Vancouver was written.
I was like, "No way?!?!"
So I messaged him back. Months have passed since we last talked, and thanks to WeChat, my friendships with my Chinese buddies are slowly coming back to life again. No seriously… haha. It's a good and bad thing, really.
So we chatted and I found out that he had just landed all the way from Asia and he would be in Canada to take up his masters! I was very amused and happy for him. We haven't talked for so long and so many things have happened already.
Well, I felt really happy for him because among all my online friends, he's one of the very few I can say I really am close to. Even my friends in real life know of him.
Great adventures are ahead of him and I wish him all the best!
Two days ago, a contact offline messaged me on QQ and said that I have been offline on Skype for so long. I actually forgot about Skype already (hahahaha) so I logged-in again. I've abandoned my account a long time ago. One of my Skype contacts messaged me that very evening even if I was invisible. Skype doesn't have offline messages so him messaging me was something I guess he did by chance. Pretty much a coincidence that I logged-in that time he messaged me.
Well, turns out he was in the Philippines a few days ago! (Was because he already left. Sigh.)
Again, I was beyond amazed. I couldn't believe it!! A language buddy, a thousand miles away, now within the archipelago?
His story was so cool because he had no itinerary at all. He went to Manila and as he was in a bus stop, he met Americans and asked them where they were off to. They told him a particular town east of Luzon, and well, he decided to go to that same place too, although they went their separate ways. He was also telling me how his trip was so unfortunate to have fallen on the week of typhoon Maring, and he kept on repeating the words are you serious… when we were talking. He was telling me how he was swimming (exag? maybe wading?) through the flooded waters in Malate. He also told me that he didn't get what the jeepneys do in the city. How must I explain… lol.
Well, I had to cut our chat short because I needed to go sleep already since I needed to get up very early the next day. It was a pity we weren't able to meet since I could've crossed meet language buddy slash online friend out of my bucket list! An opportunity lost… again.

These are skates; not just any skates, these are my skates. I am planning on joining a roller derby team. I have never been much into sports, especially team sports, but this is my new passion.
I went to my first bout a few months ago and have been skating once a week ever since. I got my skates over the weekend and I am super stoked about this new adventure.
I decided to wait awhile before I posted about it because I didn't want this to be another half baked idea that never went anywhere. It seems like this has stuck, and at the very least I've found a new healthy hobby.
So here we go!

I swear.
The ring tells all. I never notice anyone's ring finger on their left hand. EVER. So, why is mine getting noticed all the damn time?
Because it's blingy.
J keeps saying he wishes it was bigger. (And yes, he means my ring, you perv!)
Honestly, the size is a non-issue. (Seriously, get your mind out of the gutter.)
Clients have noticed. People at the gym have noticed. Today a co-worker noticed. I should just probably go ahead & set up an e-announcement or something.

SAMPLING – Getting Food in Potential Guests Mouths!
FIVE REASONS for On-Going Sampling:
Bottom line: Sampling turns potential guests into frequent guests and drives sales!
Let's do this!
1. Create a plan. Determine when your team will sample and what will be sampled. Pick Day(s) and time(s) and how many?
2. Review the Chamber of Commerce and City websites for upcoming events to hand out coupons for free samples. Passing out offers at local events helps get the word out and makes your brand more visible in the community.
3. Choose the very best employees to pass out the samples. And give them a Sampling Script: what are you sampling and what do they say?
You are not just passing out free food; you are influencing potential guests to form an opinion about your food. Make sure your employees are outgoing, friendly and have extensive product knowledge about the samples being passing out, from cooking preparations to ingredients.
4. Choose a day and time to sample. Whether you are sampling in front of your restaurant or at a community event, be sure to schedule the preparation time needed before the big day. Lunch time is always a great time to sample since people are hungry and giving a bite before ordering may entice them to purchase!
5. Keep track of any comments and feedback from guests when sampling.

I have had a fascination with tilt shift photography for some time. A few years ago, I followed Photoshop tutorials to create fake tilt shift effects on some of my photographs; I still dabble in that from time to time. Tilt shift photographs just look different and fun, but I could never justify buying one of these expensive lenses.
Enter Lensbaby.
I have heard of Lensbaby pretty much since I heard about tilt shift lenses. They create a number of manual lenses that produce different fun effects. Although I loved the effects that it creates, I still couldn't justify its (cheaper) price when I hadn't even tried using one of them. This spring, I decided to rent the Composer Pro with Sweet 35 and Edge 80 optics and have a trial run with them to see if this is something I would still like to purchase.
This was the first time I have rented a lens, and I decided to go with Lensrentals.com. Their selection of photography gear is pretty extensive and the prices are pretty reasonable. The order process is also very simple. Basically, you can either use their search function if you are looking for something specifically, or you can browse through their camera systems (Nikon, Canon, etc.), which is then broken down by types of gear (lens, body, flash, etc.). Once you find what you would like to rent, you just pick the dates you would like it delivered and sent back. There is a $25 shipping fee, which also covers return shipping. They make you sign for the lens on delivery, and since I knew I wasn't going to be home that day, I decided to have it held at my local FedEx office so that I could pick it up when I got out of work that day.
My Lensbaby optics arrived the day before my husband and I took a road trip to Northern California in April. I kept it for two and a half weeks so that I could play with them and get a good feel for them. In addition to the Redwoods, I also took them to a local wildlife refuge and also to Mt. St. Helens.
I will post my thoughts on the lenses next week, but here is a preview of one of the photos I took with the Lensbaby.

What Films Are Out This Weekend? The Only Ones You Need To Know & See Are Reviewed Right Here! By Tim David Harvey. Contact: email@example.com. Or Follow on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram & Pinterest @TimDavidHarvey
Friday, 5 May 2017
Sleepless In Collateral.
95 Mins. Starring: Jamie Foxx, Michelle Monaghan, T.I., David Harbour, Gabrielle Union, Dermot Mulroney, Octavious J. Johnson & Scoot McNairy. Director: Baran bo Odar.
Sleep isn't the only thing lost here in the new Jamie Foxx cop/crime thriller based on the French film 'Sleepless Night'. In this 'Sleepless' a million miles from Tom Hanks' Seattle, Foxx's son is literally being used as collateral. So expect some damage like the time he took Tom Cruise's awesome Mann made assassin for a taxi ride in downtown L.A. But this time it's the debauched city of sin Las Vegas that lays our action scenes like his digital era 'Miami Vice' days. And man how they unfold like a deck of cards across the electro neon strip which now seems to have added London's Eye to it's collector like site exhibits of the Eiffel Tower and Statue of Liberty. Try your hand because this is an explosive killer like heartland rocker Brandon Flowers singing about girls like they were atomic bomb tests in the desert from the back of his Mustang. And as soon as Jamie Foxx's stops at a red light in his G.T.O. he just wishes Ansel Elgort was driving. But fear not! With this and Edgar Wright's forthcoming 'Baby Driver' this double-act looks sets to be Foxx's biggest Summer yet and the actor/singer/comedian triple threats biggest year since he almost did the Oscar double for 'Ray' and 'Collateral' in the same calender the 'Unpredictable' singer pulled a Streisand and won both an Oscar and Grammy. No wonder ATL, King of the South rapper Cliff "T.I.P." Harris-who Foxx collaborated with on 'Live In The Sky' is riding and rolling shotgun as our lead detectives partner in fighting crime the right way...even if a few pages of the book they go by is a little dogeared with some slight foxing on the edges. Don't worry! Try not to lose any sleep over it.
'Django' really is off the chain here too. Running up the hood of cars in a parking lot with a blunderbuss and giving gas mask villains what for (But wait a minute! That stellar scene from the thrilling trailer of our D.I. is M.I.A. presumed D.O.A. in a spate of lost and found footage for films these days). All whilst wearing his necklace chain badge across his chest like a pair of dog tags. In this revenge soaked thriller Foxx puts everyone in the hole, but you can't snare or trap him. His Vincent Downs cop character vehicle is putting anyone in his way down and in the sand as "the baddest finest" ladies and gentlemen drives his enemies in his trunk to the dessert with Drake's 'Energy' on repeat. All in the name of this fathers son and whether he'll see another one. It's pretty serious for some brilliant B-movie material in this genre ignited 'John Wick' age. But as Jamie says "you hurt my son...I'm killing all of y'all" much in the same vein as his "touch your guns, you die" 'Django Unchained' quote you know he aint playing. And just like Tarantino you're gonna love the way he shoots boy. Or just like 'Just Like Me' returning collaborator T.I. says, "yo man that was some 'Reservoir Dogs' s### back there man", as Foxx replies that "it's been a long day"-but not in those words-looking like he's just taken someones ear off (well he is about to play Mike Tyson). And the 'American Gangster' and 'Ant-Man' rapper/actor T.I. who really grew in the aforementioned and the remake of the T.V. adaptation of 'Roots' plants himself next to Foxx perfectly. As Foxx is on a one man manhunt he still needs back up and you can for sure call on Tip in the Vegas air tonight. These two might be another 48 hours away from being at the level of a Beverly Hills Cop but they make for a pretty jam-packed Rush Hour with less jokes but more human traffic.
'True Detective' Michelle Monaghan is the the real draw here too, no stay at home character b.s. assignment. This is the 'Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang' and 'Gone Baby Gone' stars moment to represent like when she took complete character command at 'Fort Bliss'. The 'Mission Impossible III' and 'Source Code' standout knows how to make her own name next to the biggest leading men in the world (Tom Cruise, Jake Gyllenhaal etc). And this leading lady whose character in her 'Due Date' reunion with Robert Downey Jr. was rumoured to be running away with Foxx's part really has something here with Jamie in their own little reunion. You can cut the good cop/bad cop tension with the corners of the book they throw at you. Meanwhile 1980's Hawkins, Indiana Sheriff David Harbour is harbouring more 'Stranger Things' than looking for justice for Barb'. As the character actor of 'Black Mass' and 'The Equalizer furthers his formidable filmography favourbly, despite now-thanks to last year-being most recognisable for being made household face-to-a-name famous in a binge watching minute of an evening. The A-list cast of multiple grades all step up their A-game though. Just like Gabrielle Union bringing it all together. An actress more than merely being Miss Dwyane Wade or another member of the Basketball Wives club. One who brings the most heat since she was in Miami with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence for 'Bad Boys II'. Meanwhile 'August and Osage County' actor Dermot Mulroney who seemingly appears in more films than we realise, recognise or remember plays so much Pesci meets De Niro 'Casino' grease that he should stay in the kitchen with the rest of the condiments bagged up to look like coke. And in this drug run turned cat and mouse Casino chase that races through 95 minutes of run-time like eyes on the ball of a roulette wheel there's even more players. Like 'Killing Them Softly' pain strummer Scoot McNairy who fingers the trigger on his own moment here after being like one of Ben Affleck's best friends that appear in all his films like Sandler's ones ('Argo', 'Gone Girl' and 'Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice'). Playing a vile villain with such inked and scarred conviction, Scoot is ready for his 'War Machine' with Pitt and the 'Aftermath' with Arnie himself. But lets hear it for and hand it to relative 'Coldwater' newcomer Octavious J. Johnson. Coming of age as our lead cops son. Swiss director Baran bo Odar who made his name with 'Who Am I? No System Is Safe' times all of this with precision perfection. Even if this scatter-gun movie moves at an abrupt pace it still keeps you guessing and wondering as to how they will get out of this jam at a shade over an hour and a half before they take the casino. From the sparkler fireworks of bottle service club carnage that could stick it to 'Collateral', to car chases of vehicular manslaughter like when Foxx flipped the very same cab on its top. Or the shootouts in this new Vegas similair to the Wild West. All set to a hauntingly tense score. And let's not forget the flour and cleaver, hells kitchen nightmares of what looks like a fight with Gordon Ramsey...perhaps they didn't like today's special. But here's something else too for your dessert out in the desert. Don't doze because this eye-opener 'Sleepless' is so slick there might just be a sequel in there. What happens in Vegas just stays going apparantly. Time for the next movie franchise to wake up. TIM DAVID HARVEY.

Alaska relies much more on air and water transportation than the Lower 48 states do, so it's especially vulnerable to the kinds of fuel price spikes that happened in mid-2008 and again between 2009 and 2010. A new report analyzes how higher fuel prices affect the costs of transportation in the state and work their way through the economy. It is the first study of this kind for Alaska. The authors are ISER economists Ginny Fay, Tobias Schwörer, Mouhcine Guettabi, and Jeffrey Armagost.

It's been done [wikipedia.org]. Back in '83.
The joke around the place I used to work was that the little smit icon represented the salesguy running away with our money.
Perhaps your front page
Be honest, was this your plan all along?
Seriously, how is this a story? I used AIX back in the 90s and it was okay. What do I use AIX for today? Back-end processing when I can't get a Linux box past the procurement guys.
Do I code on AIX? Nope I code on Mac OSX or Linux.
Do I manage on AIX? Nope the management stuff lives on Linux and Windows.
A story would be IBM pushing AIX on the desktop. But this is just sensible and if you really want an AIX desktop then its an X environment so just run a server and use an old box as an X Terminal.
Personally I've been looking at getting a server as my next box and concentrating on networking, monitor et al on an XTerm running a stripped down Linux. What is this 1995 to say you have to have a box running under your desk?
Seriously, how is this a comment? I've always wondered why people waste time commenting about how a story was not worth posting, let alone reading, but apparently these devoid-of-interest stories are still worth commenting on.
Who on earth would need a 5GHz CPU on the desktop?
Who on earth would need a 5GHz CPU on the desktop?
Who on earth would need 640k of memory! Or wait...did I just "whoooooosh" myself?
Who on earth would need a 5GHz CPU on the desktop?
Somebody without central heat?
Who on earth would need a 5GHz CPU on the desktop?
So how do you heat YOUR desktop?
Who on earth would need a 5GHz CPU on the desktop?
Me, because I don't want an applet that shows me the weather today in a teeny tiny window, I want to simulate today's highs and lows right here, on my desktop!
The new I7 and maybe the new 45 nm AMD cpus are probably a better solution for a workstation then a Power these days. Linux has more hardware and software support than AIX so IBM probably sees the future as an I7 running Linux.
Early on, it was said that Linux would kill more Unixs than Windows ever would.
Newer versions of *nix are killing older versions of *nix.
The exact opposite of what's happening with Windows.
From testing OS & firmware upgrades to just being a great desktop platform, it's proven to be very valuable.
- Tony
Forgive me, because I'm a linux guy (that's all I've ever used and known), and because of that, I don't know what the benefits of having an AIX machine on the desktop would be.
I understand that on certain large hardware, AIX is preferable due to hardware or other requirements, but what is the draw on the desktop? Is there superior software, or stability? Management tools?
I manage Linux servers, and I have linux on my desktop because it seems effortless to me now, but I can't imagine that if I had one of th
I used to be an AIX administrator.
There's not a lot of benefit to having an AIX box on your desk (though I did), other than it being the same as the systems you're administering.
(The following is my personal opinion - fanboys of other operating systems need not respond; I'm sure your OS of choice is just peachy too)
Yes, AIX is more stable and I prefer the management tools and interfaces to other Unix-like operating systems. As such, having it on my desktop was preferable to a Linux system because I was more familiar with the tools and they were the same as the machines I was administering all day long.
If I was running Linux systems for a living, I'd have a Linux box on my desk for the same reasons.
There are some advantages to writing/testing your code/scripts/etc on your local machine before pushing it out to a development/production system. While in theory ksh/bash/csh/etc should be the same on every system, we all know there are quirks to the implementations that cause issues.
So yes, there are some benefits to AIX on the desktop as an administrator.
Finally, there are some shops (a few military contractors I'm familiar with) that use AIX on the desktop for their engineers because the specialized applications they use only support AIX - usually graphic design hooked into large AIX systems on the backend for modeling/redering cycles.
The desktop was under $10k, sits at my desk, and is mine to do what I want with it. Currently I'm testing AIX 6.1 (works great, cool new features). It'll run KDE and an ancient version of firefox, if I want, usually I just have X with m
That's the point really. IBM only makes 2 Power 6 processors, fast and really fast. At a desktop price, they really don't want to sell these anymore. Like you said, they'd rather have you buying LPARs or Blades at better markup if you want to do programming or testing. They've also pulled a lot of the hardware OS locks out with AIX 6.1 and i5/OS 6.1 so they REALLY don't want people figuring out they could run i on this thing and not buying expensive servers.
Very informative summary, considering I was unaware IBM even offered AIX on the desktop. That alone should tell you how much they cared about it.
Many years ago, I could swear I saw IBM (x86) branded PCs in a datacenter that were running AIX. I was handling Novell and Sun systems back then, but I was intensely curious about those machines and what they were doing. They were in the same chassis as my Netware systems, and looked completely different from the RS/6000s.
AIX was available on x86. Years ago (around 1991?) IBM gave my company an AIX package for PS/2 hardware. Gobs of diskettes, pounds of printed docs. It seemed clunky and we never did much with it, but it was there. Of course the PS/2 Model 80 (i386) it was installed on was a slothful piece of crap.
Just in! "Geek wonders why product X that he loves to hack but is only used by 0.0000001% of the market is going the way of the dodo". Film at 11!
Hey, for example, I wanted Baldur's Gate 3 too
It was called Neverwinter Nights.
Seriously, you wanted a direct sequel? Following on from the end of Throne of Bhaal? What would you do? Depending on how you ended the game you're at least an ubercharacter of ridiculously high level, and you're quite possibly the god of murder. You killed Demogorgon as a side quest. Where do you go from here?
Conquering the world
Seriously, I'm sure they would come up with something. And I would be okay with BG3 not following BG2 in terms of story. NWN was nice but it wasn't really a sequel IMO. Little actual roleplaying, and the main campaign was short and kinda weak. Personal opinion anyway.
Just in! "Geek wonders why product X that he loves to hack but is only used by 0.0000001% of the market is going the way of the dodo". Film at 11!
worse, he only fondly remembers hacking it several years ago...
AIX is horrendous. I mean, truly horrible.
Smitty - though it has its uses - is the nastiest piece of manure ever to disgrace an SSH window. Everything even remotely UNXy IBM makes is, IMHO, totally over-priced.
AIX hardware is over-priced, under-powered and totally uninteresting. I have machines running Linux on Opteron right here and they simply out-perform AIX machines (including a 12 CPU Power6 P570 AIX 5.3) at least 10 times.
And don't get me started on the stability of AIX vs Linux or BSD, please. I have software here that can make any AIX machine cry and call for mommy, when most Linux distributions just suck it up and carry on.
AIX machines are essentially dull ultra-expensive big iron. Most programmers I work with would rather have a small machine with Red Hat and tons of GNU goodness on it than a huge AIX beast.
And just in case you are wondering: yes, I do administer UNIX machines for a living. Just check my Slashdot journal, and you'll get a ton of information on AIX, Solaris and so on and so forth.
This being said, I'll take AIX over Windows any day. And either Slackware or OpenBSD over everything else.
AIX is even worse if you do any system programming it. Around here, AIX is pronounced "aches" for a very good reason. We also have a saying "AIX is always different". Anything difficult you want to do on Unix, you need to code up a special AIX-specific version. It's Always Different.
And not different-better, different-holy-crap-this-API-was-designed-by-crack-addled-clowns.
And not different-better, different-holy-crap-this-API-was-designed-by-crack-addled-clowns.
Also better known to the rest of the world as IBM engineers.
It's the biggest circus on earth.
I have an AIX story. Try out this program:
void main(bla bla)
int x, y, z;
x = 1;
y = 0;
z = x / y;
On most versions of unix, this produces a floating point exception. (which is correct) The error you're supposed to get is a clue to explaining why AIX gives you the answer it gives: 15.
Hi! This is offtopic, but as a former slackware admin, I've got to ask. How did you manage to scale it to a large environment?
I got to a few dozen machines and used to spend all my time patching and admining multiple users. I eventually moved to CentOS authenticated over AD with Likewise Open. I'm interested in hearing how other people do it.
I agree with some of your comments.
SMITTY is ugly, but I think it's a good tool. The best feature is that it constructs the command line commands rather than trying to modify configuration files or re-write the tools. This means that anything that you can do via smitty can be easily scripted even if you don't have much AIX experience.
For some workloads Linux will kick the pants of AIX. For others, especially those that require high throughput, the story is different. AIX on pSeries can move massive amounts
Actually the hardware that AIX typically runs on beats the pants off of x86. I have consolidated almost all of my various x86 boxen to POWER (System P 570) running RHEL 4 & 5.
If you think smitty is bad, you've never tried yast.
I sort of snicker at all the wanking over the state of virtualization on x86 when I've already got superior capabilities on my POWER systems in carving up dynamic LPARs.
I used it ages ago and remember thinking it was the most broken software with a version number past 3 I had ever seen. Non-standard and quirky, too.
You are joking, you LIKED smit??!? We used to have bumper stickers that said "Smit Happens" on our doors where I worked a decade ago....the IBM guys REALLY hated those.
If there is any system you don't hate, it is because you don't know it well enough.
So, if you replace "system" with "shit" or "windows", do you still stand by it?
Interesting quote.. Usually you hear it the other way around - where people hate what they don't understand.
I've had a unixish system at home for the last 20 years and managed to score full marks on my RHCE so you could assume I understand unix and I do not feel I'm about to hate it!
One of the strengths of unixish systems is that skills are transferable. The ideas of processes with a parent of "init", a path, shells, forked tasks, everything a socket lets you understand how things work together which helps
Hmmm, and here I thought that old-school 8-bit computing is the future, since more than half of all CPUs sold are 8-bit processors.
Over time, all the cool features from proprietary UNIX versions are getting ported to Linux, either directly or by being re-implemented. As Linux becomes more and more acceptable as a replacement, expect to see proprietary UNIX versions start to go away.
If IBM hires a person to work on Linux, that work helps IBM across pretty much their whole product line. If IBM hires a person to work on AIX, that work has much less value now, and will have even less and less value over time as Linux gathers up more of the market. Also, as Linux keeps getting better, it would take more and more work to add similar features to AIX, to try to keep up. Eventually, IBM is going to stop paying for work on AIX at all; they will end-of-life AIX, and just sell Linux.
I don't know for sure about SMIT but Linux does have LVM and various tools to manage it. AIX gurus, how ready is Linux to replace AIX now?
And, are desktop POWER machines going to be available with Linux?
And, are desktop POWER machines going to be available with Linux?
Fixstars (formerly Terra Soft) offers a power-based workstation called the PowerStation [fixstars.com], running Yellow Dog Linux. I think it's a new product. There was a review in the latest issue of Linux Journal. It mentioned a few problems, including X crashing (but that may have been fixed by now).
And, are desktop POWER machines going to be available with Linux?
Fedora runs great on my System P 520 workstation.
Ubuntu won't even install. That would have been my first choice. But Fedora works great.
AIX still has significant advantages over Linux for us. A lot (all?) of the stuff that is new in AIX has come from the AS/400 390 mainframe stuff, and the hardware for AIX line is now the same as that for the AS/400 line (or whatever they're all called this week).
For our business, AIX is still rock solid, has excellent support (as you'd expect for the cost) and can dynamically switch resources between virtual systems. The CPU allocation is wonderful. It can automatically assign spare CPU to any system that needs it, giving preference to production systems.
The virtual networking and hardware self-monitoring is also far superior to what little I've seen in the Windows area.
While I can't comment on other systems, AIX has given us a lot of flexibility and reliability that the Intel team here (mostly Windows) don't get in their virtual server environment.
Of course all this is changing, and the smaller systems are getting the bigger system stuff.
So the real question is not "how ready is Linux to AIX?" but rather "can Linux do what I want now?" because all the mainframe technology is filtering down to be accessible to consumer grade stuff.
Warehousing costs are an indicator not a base cause. If you have 1000 units sitting in a warehouse for six months depreciating, it's because no one's buying them. Which means you're losing money from a failed projection. Something this seemingly slow moving would likely need a different supply chain, say direct from manufacture, JIT. Also, the margins on such might just not be there. Hardly worth the effort since IBM is not a non-profit.
This is a huge blow to scientific and engineering computing. I know of thousands of POWER based Intellistations at several aerospace companies. CAD and finite element analysis software runs on these boxes, usually CATIA, NASTRAN, and some CFD codes. Engineering modeling and simulation software has been running on AIX for a while. Only now are Windows boxes near the performance that engineers need. The only good that might come of this is that hopefully the surplus market will be flooded with POWER based Intellistations and AIX CDs.
Only now??????? Where have you been in the past decade.
The last outfit I worked that was using CATIA, the windows machines outnumbered AIX dekstop boxes like 10 to 1. And even the high end AIX gfx were starting to seriously under perform compared to the Quadros in the PeeCees.
Same thing for NASTRAN. I am no fan of windows, but Dassault, PTC et al have focused on the Windows versions for a while now. And that is because the price/performance of AIX workstations hasn't been there in a loooooong while.
Where have I been the past decade? In some of the most influential aerospace and aircraft design firms in the world, actually.
Yes, the video performance of the Quadros is undeniably fantastic. I even use retired Quadros in my home machines. Not every engineer needs a POWER based machine, of course. Many engineers could do just fine with a Windows box. But, serious CATIA work, meshing, and analysis were impossible to do on Windows machines; they simply couldn't touch the AIX boxes when you needed to run something that would require more than 3GB of RAM. Right now, Cessna Aircraft is still using POWER based machines for a very large portion of their CATIA work, although they were starting to transition to Windows boxes. Everyone there who supports CATIA and ENOVIA has a POWER workstation.
Now that Windows and the x86 CPU family has gotten with the program, they have barged their way into the engineering computing world. Cheap multicore processors and cheap operating system licensing makes the decision today to use Windows PCs a no-brainer. Now that Windows boxes can do what the AIX boxes have been able to do for a long time, the cheaper Windows boxes are finding their use on engineering desktops, and software developers are writing for Windows. But the point is that this is a very recent development. As of 2005, it was *impossible* for me to do the work I needed to do on a Windows box; the technology (hardware and software) *did not exist.* Price/performance is irrelevant if performance is zero; if a box can't do the work you need it to do, it doesn't matter that it was cheaper than some other box.
To elaborate: He's bemoaning that this beautyfull desktop [jfedor.org] is being discontinued. A true catastrophe that will set back the entire industry by years to come.
CDE is still standard on Solaris (you can choose between CDE and GNOME at install time), which runs on SPARC and x86 systems...
The school I graded from used CDE. First on AIX boxes in the unix lab, then they shifted to Solaris on x86 (cheaper desktops).
CDE is nice in a minimalistic way (though I'd choose blackbox or fluxbox over it). Actually there are tonnes of lightweight WMs I'd choose over it. Basically any that aren't tiled. Of course the choice at that time was between CDE and an early version of gnome. Most windows users would choose gnome, but CDE was the way to go if you wanted to get anything done as gnome wasn't the m
CDE is still standard on Solaris (you can choose between CDE and GNOME at install time), which runs on SPARC and x86 systems.
True, but CDE is no longer supported on OpenSolaris [opensolaris.org]; which is a much better choice for desktop user than Solaris 10. The upcoming OpenSolaris 2008.11 version, and update to OpenSolaris 2008.05 has many more improvements that make it a viable alternative to GNU/Linux on the desktop or laptop.
[My english is better than most other people's german, so please point out mistakes politely. Thank you.]

YellowDog makes a PowerPC based Linux machine. The latest Linux Journal has a review of it:

Not perfect, but workable.
If you're just need an X server on Windows to connect to your *nix box, I suggest using Xming [sourceforge.net]. It's free, lightweight, easy to configure, and one can quickly setup shortcuts to connect to a specific server and run a program. It's also very useful for getting around a content filter if you can access your own *nix server from the internet.
I don't have any affiliation with Colin Harrison, however I've used other X servers on Windows before and this has been the best. Here's my experience with different X servers:
Exceed - Bloated, expensive, extra licensing fee for doing X11 over SSH, unstable copy and paste (in the past versions I used)
ReflectionX - A bit bloated, expensive, funky interface
Cygwin* - Too many unneeded apps included for just an X server, FREE, difficult to configure if you're not familiar with it
Xming - Light weight, FREE, quick install, can use PuTTY's plink to do configure free X11 forwarding over SSH, copy and paste works, it just works
*In regards to Cygwin, I understand that it is more than just an X server, however it has been recommended a number of times to me as a solution for a free X server on Windows
Seriously, what use do you have for this unless you're working in an AIX server environment? Even then it would be of dubious value methinks. I hate to take a question and say use something else like Linux or OS X, but... yeah.
More detail perhaps on why AIX on the desktop is useful? And if there aren't many reasons, then we know why it was killed.
I am outraged!
(Better be careful--I might take my ball and head back to VMS...)
AIX - Ain't Unix anyway
If I have not seen so far it is because I stood in giant's footsteps.

Jennifer Lopez is showing off one of her best assets...her derriere...on the cover of her new single aptly titled 'Booty'.
This lustfully airbrushed cover doesn't make Jenny our motivation for today to get in the gym yet the fact that she actually does work out made her more than fitting for the part.
I believe wholeheartedly Miss Lopez worked out yesterday. Are you motivated?

This morning I also watched the 1958 horror film The Monster of Piedras Blancas, a knock-off of The Creature from the Black Lagoon produced independently in New England and directed by Irvin Berwick, who had designed the original "Creature" makeup, felt he hadn't got either the recognition or the money he deserved, and so decided to concoct his own story of an aquatic monster. It's a quirky movie, with blatant visual quotes not only from Creature but from the original Frankenstein as well (the monster abducts the heroine from her bedroom, and later throws her father from the lighthouse tower the way Henry Frankenstein fell from the burning windmill during his fight to the death with his Monster), unusually well photographed for an independent production from the late 1950's (though there's an oddly Ed Woodian clip of a stock shot of two men running from the shore inserted into a chase scene out of the usual laziness of B-movie producers of this era, which stands out only because the rest of the film has a tightly-lit, well-photographed "studio" look to it, courtesy of Universal, who since they were near financial collapse when this film was made, were only too happy to loan out contract players and technical people to this independent production merely to keep them employed at someone else's expense).
Berwick is perhaps a little too reticent about showing the monster — we see its hand in a pre-credits sequence, then its shadow about 40 minutes later, then its midriff and arm (holding the severed head of one of its victims!) and not until the last 15 minutes of the film do we see it full-figure — and though his actors were several cuts above Ed Wood's, they have to do interminable dialogue scenes in which we're given narrative flashbacks encompassing key plot points (actual filmed flashbacks would have been better, but would have blown the budget). The Monster of Piedras Blancas is one of those movies that is so tightly conceived within the bounds of its genre that it's utterly predictable in structure and plot development — which has a certain appeal, actually; its makers acknowledged that their only intent was to scare audiences, and it probably worked back then. I'd wanted to see this movie ever since my childhood, when I read about it in a Famous Monsters of Filmland back issue from the time it was made — and again when Filmfax magazine gave a full account of its making a few years ago, and put the titular monster on its cover (in a much more brightly-lit still than anything we see in the movie itself!). My brother and I used to take turns enacting the part of the "Monster of Pious Blancas" (that was as close as he could come at the time to pronouncing the title!) and its latest victim — it's an example of how tight a genre film this is that we could pretend to be in a movie we hadn't seen! — and when Filmfax wrote it up, and now that American Movie Classics has actually shown it and I've videotaped it, it's like I've finally completed an unfinished bit of my childhood. — 8/24/96
Charles and I managed to squeeze in a movie last night: The Monster of Piedras Blancas, a 1958 production from a short-lived independent company called Vanwick, after the two partners who founded it, producer Jack Kevan and director Irvin Berwick. I remember reading years ago in an article in Filmfax that this film was shot on location in Massachusetts (it was actually in California, but where in California the sources on imdb.com's message boards disagree: either the fairly well known Point Concepcion lighthouse or the lesser-known one in Cayucos, just north of Morro Bay, where the "white rocks" of the title actually do exist) and that the people involved in it had just been laid off from Universal-International (the studio was in the process of being sold to MCA and the new owners were cleaning out what they thought would be deadwood) and decided to do a film on their own that would aim at the Universal horror market, or what was left of it by 1958. It helped that Jack Kevan had actually designed the costume for the Gill-Man in Creature from the Black Lagoon and its two sequels, and so he made a similar costume for the title character of this one and actually played the monster himself. I first heard of this movie in one of the few copies of the magazine Famous Monsters of Filmland I ever owned, which profiled this film extensively when it was still new; my brother and I got hold of a copy several years later and pretended we were being chased by the "Monster of Pious Blancas" (the closest my brother could come to pronouncing the title) — which the last time Charles and I watched this together (over a decade ago, from a tape I recorded from AMC back when it still was a classic-movie channel) I noted was an indication of how solidly grounded a genre piece this was that my brother and I could pretend to be in a movie neither of us had actually seen. Anyway, the movie holds up pretty well — we were watching a Sinister Cinema DVD and some of it was awfully dark-looking, and I wasn't sure whether the darkness was intended by director Berwick and cinematographer Philip Lathrop or was an artefact of the print we were watching and/or our rapidly fading old-fashioned pre-digital TV set.
It's clearly a monster-movie formula picture, and a bit slow — we're 45 minutes into its 71-minute running time before we finally see the monster full-figure (though the original trailer showed it, which I can't help thinking was a mistake: I've always thought the best promotion for a horror movie was one which "teased" you with a bit of the monster without showing it all; instead you'll have to pay for a ticket to see the whole thing!), and the exposition moves at the speed of a drugged camel as we learn that the village lighthouse keeper, Sturges (John Harmon), was happy and relatively normal until his wife died. Then he became an embittered recluse, hiding out in the lighthouse with only three beings for company: his daughter Lucille (Jeanne Carmen); his dog Ring; and the Monster of Piedras Blancas, the last surviving representative of a water-dwelling reptile called a Diplovertubron, previously thought to be extinct. The idea of a lonely old lighthouse keeper, embittered by the death of his wife, should turn to a man-eating monster for companionship is weird enough as it is, but he also gets into hissy-fits with the owner of the local store, Kochek (Frank Arvidson), when Kochek sells to someone else the "meat scraps" with which he feeds the monster and thereby keeps it from eating humans … not that that always works, since we soon learn from the local police constable, George Matson (Forrest Lewis), that there have been mysterious deaths off the coast before, besides the one he's currently investigating in which two brothers who ran a fishing boat were found with their heads sliced off their bodies and every drop of blood drained out of them.
Eventually Dr. Sam Jorgensen (Les Tremayne, top-billed) and his assistant Fred (Don Sullivan), who's also Lucille Sturges' boyfriend, figure out what the monster is and what a challenge it will be either to kill it or take it alive, which Jorgensen and Fred want to do because a living specimen of a Diplovertubron or something similar will tell us a lot we need to know about evolution. Director Berwick clearly learned something from Jack Arnold's and John Sherwood's work on the Gill-Man movies, and though he's not much for suspense or pace there are times when he shows an interesting eye (notably in the shots of old man Sturges glimpsed through the distorting lenses by which the lighthouse works) and he's quite good at coming up with horrific images and not keeping them on the screen so long they become merely disgusting instead of scary. The most famous scene in the film is the one in which the Monster makes its first full-figure appearance carrying the head of its latest victim — and though just about everyone who's seen this film remembers it, Berwick keeps it on the screen only for a few seconds, just long enough for us to register it without parading the gore in our faces. The ending is a bit disappointing — for a monster whose skin is so tough it broke off part of a meat cleaver, it's hard to believe it could be killed merely by throwing it off the top of a lighthouse (it lands in the water, its natural element, which made me wonder whether Kevan, Berwick and writer H. Haile Chase were setting us up for a sequel) — and it utterly lacks the shards of pathos of the Gill-Man movies, but it's still a fun film in a limited genre even though one could also readily imagine it as Mystery Science Theatre 3000 fodder! — 10/17/12

A Darker Side
Shirley Wells
Soho, Jun 2008, $24.95
Former forensic psychologist Jill Kennedy left police work following a suicide on her last profiling case. She moved to remote Kelton Bridge planning to author books and never to work a police investigation again.
However, her former lover, Lancashire DCI Max Trentham pleads with Jill to assist him on the investigation into the murder of teenager Martin Hayden; the victim had disappeared only to reappear floating in a canal with his head fractured. She reluctantly agrees to assist him and they soon interview Martin's mother, Josie, who admits he was not the biological son of her spouse George, but that of a traveling salesman. Soon after their meeting, someone kills Josie and another teenager. Max thinks serial killer, but Jill feels otherwise as the link remains Martin, which may mean Josie's past is the key element.
This is an engaging British police procedural starring a reliable cop who becomes desperate when his son is threatened (though that subplot seems too off kilter to believe) and a reluctant profiler who works the case differently than the officials. The key to this fine whodunit is that Jill and Max though still attracted to each other don't jump into each other's arms. Although the climax is obvious, A DARKER SIDE is a fine psychological profile police procedural (see INTO THE SHADOWS for Max's previous case).

New&Noteworthy is a feature that details recent releases I'm most excited about! These are first release books! For new editions of previously published books (ex. Paperbacks) I have another feature! So, without further ado, here are the books I'm most excited for!
The Wild Truth: The Untold Story of Sibling Survival by Carine McCandless
Non Fiction, Memoir
Hardcover, 256 pages
Published October 31st, 2014 by HarperCollins
List Price: $34.99 (CAD)
To be honest, I haven't read Into the Wild, or watched the movie. However, with new theories about McCandless' death surfacing, I have become interested in his story. This book sounds particularly good—it's his sister's side of the story, filling in the personal gaps we have never been able to see.
The Retribution of Mara Dyer (#3) by Michelle Hodkin
YA Fiction, Fantasy
Hardcover, 470 pages
Published November 4th, 2014 by Simon & Schuster
List Price: $22.99 (CAD)
I've read the first in this series and really enjoyed it. I have been holding off reading the second one until this one came out! That way if it's a cliff hanger I don't have to wait for the other one.
Revival by Stephen King
Horror, Thriller
Hardcover, 416 pages
Published November 11th, 2014 by Scribner
List Price: $36.00 (CAD)
I'm obviously excited for this one. Stephen King is an auto-read for me. It doesn't matter what it's about, I'm going to read it!
Family Furnishings: Selected Stories, 1995-2014 by Alice Munro
Short Story Collection
Hardcover, 640 pages
Published November 11th, 2014 by McClelland & Stewart
List Price: $32.99 (CAD)
From the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature 2013, comes a collection of stories that have been published previously. It's a kind of "greatest hits" collection.
The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin, translated by Ken Liu
Science Fiction, Chinese Science Fiction
Hardcover, 400 pages
Published November 11th, 2014 by Tor Books
List Price: $29.99 (CAD)
This book is a first—it's the first work of Chinese Science Fiction to be translated into English. It sounds really good—both the plot and the infusion of a different culture!
Area X: The Southern Reach Trilogy by Jeff VanderMeer
Science Fiction, Fantasy
Hardcover, 608 pages
Published November 18th, 2014 by FSG Originals
List Price: $39.94 (CAD)
This series has received some pretty good buzz! A dystopian trilogy with all three parts released in one year! I am looking forward to the release of a hardcover edition, especially since it contains all three novels!
The Book of Strange New Things by Michel Faber
Science Fiction
Hardcover, 512 pages
Published November 18th, 2014 by HarperCollins
List Price: $34.99
This one sound particularly interesting—it's about a minister who becomes a missionary to aliens on another planet. He must leave his wife at home to do this, and while he is away, things go awry on earth where his wife is. I WANT TO READ THIS SO BAD.
What new releases are you most excited about?
Beth is the founder and editor of Fuelled by Fiction. She is a twenty-something east coast Canadian girl who loves writing about books and feminism.

And in the same way, many people evaluate the claims of Jesus and decide there are enough reasons for them to decide to put their trust in him.-------------Then I would have to say that those people already believe that Jesus exists. Otherwise, it makes no sense at all to put trust in someone you don't already believe exists - even though you have never laid eyes on the person and there is no tangible proof that he does now nor ever did exist. At some point, that "light switch" had to be thrown and the person came to believe that Jesus is who it has been said that he is.AM

...oh yeah I have one. You'll have to cut me some slack, the amount of people I'm responsible for increased by 50% this summer. Or is that 100% or 25% if I count Ben? Those are all wrong aren't they? I'm confused. I'm not very good at math.
Today was Aidan's first day of SS. She is a big 3 yr old and doesn't take naps and goes to the potty by herself and has a hook for her backpack. sob.
Aidan loves school. She loves it so much she gets annoyed when I come to pick her up. I love you too.

Make this Lunar New Year a memorable one at Cassia, Capella Singapore's fine dining Cantonese restaurant, where dishes are prepared with full respect towards tradition. At Cassia, only the freshest local Chinese ingredients are used to conjure a gastronomical journey for guests while recipes are based on traditional and regional favourites, completed with haute Cantonese culinary techniques.
We commenced the meal in the traditional fashion to welcome the auspicious Year of the Fire Rooster. The Cassia's Prosperity Lou Hei 百花齐放捞起 is elevated with homemade passion fruit dressing, a refreshing change from the norm. The citrus notes made this Yu Sheng a stimulating start to the meal and I had to remind myself to save tummy space for what executive Chef Lee Hiu Ngai has in store for us. Diners can enjoy the Cassia Prosperity Lou Hei at a promotional price $38++ alongside the CNY set menus ($79++ to $199++ per pax) or on its own for $68++.
Next, we slurped up the Double-boiled Chicken Soup with Abalone, Dried Scallop & Sea Whelk 干贝响螺鲍鱼炖鸡汤u, a fortifying broth with a voluptuous abalone, befitting of the festivities.
There is no wagyument that the Wok-fried Japanese M9 Wagyu Beef with Young Ginger & Pineapple is of top-notch, melt-in-the mouth quality.
I have to admit, that I was very contented with the Baked Chilean Sea Bass with Homemade Special Chilli Sauce 风味酱烤智利鳕鱼. The fatty, flaky and saccharine fillet, smothered with dynamic sauce, was absolutely divine!
No Chinese meal is complete without carbs. Cassia's Lai Wan Fried Rice with Chinese Sausage, Diced Abalone and Prawns 凯嘉荔湾香炒饭 tantalized our taste buds with its nuances of spices, as well as scrumptious kiss of the wok.
We rounded up the meal with Homemade Lotus Seed Tea with Dried Longan 养生园肉莲子茶 a light dessert which boasts many health benefits.
At Cassia, each course is presented elegantly and is so refined. The ambiance exudes timeless sophistication. It's indeed a restaurant worthy of the special occasion dining. Cassia's CNY set menus are available from until 11th Feb 2017.
Many thanks to Capella Singapore for the invite.
