Pixar's new film Ratatouille has a dash of humor, combined with a savoury plot, with a pinch or two of good animation. This movie is an interesting computer animated film with a good message of be yourself and follow your dreams no matter impossible they might seem. It has a solid plot, great voicing and good animation.
Remy, the main character, is a rat unlike any other, he has a delicate nose that can sense any smell. He also has a secret wish to become a chief. When circumstances bring him to Paris and the restaurant of the chief he so admires, all he needs is a chance. That chance comes in the form of the new garbage boy, Linguini, at the restaurant. Linguini gets mistaken for a cook when he messes up a soup and Remy fixes it and makes it better than before. Linguini and Remy come to an understanding and decide to work together with Linguini as the human front and Remy as the secret cook. Can these two be successful at the facade or with they get caught?
The animation is great. I love the way the rats move. The animators have them jumping from object to object and scampering up things. I thought their movements were very well done and sort of lifelike. It was artistically done and I found it fun to watch.
The voicing was well done. Each voice matched its characters perfectly. Patton Oswalt is the voice of Remy, the troubled rat trying to follow his dreams and please his family at the same time. We all know how difficult that can be. Lou Romano voices Linguini who is at his one last chance and knows it. Peter O'Toole makes an appearance as the evil food critic that could be the end of the restaurant. Brad Garrett plays the chief that Remy admired who is deceased but visits Remy in his imagination to give him advice. Janeane Garofalo plays Colette another chief in the restaurant's kitchen who becomes Linguini's love interest.
Overall, I thought this a well done family film. There is enough movement and action to keep the kids interested and enough plot to keep the parents interested which is how it should be in a good animated film. This would be a great film for a family night outing!

I've begun to notice a pattern. I imagine if you've read my blog for any length of time you will know what I'm about to talk about.
I begin to lose weight. I'm all fired up and finding success, incredibly motivated, and inspired. It's evident that I've "got this". When I'm doing well, my thoughts are positive and I believe in myself. This drives me to see positive results.
And then BAM—it happens.
You read about my journey here on the blog but don't get a glimpse into the thought pattern that begins to emerge at the times when I begin to struggle. And it's a constant in many areas of my life when I begin to find success. Actually, the reason I stumbled upon this pattern is because it began to happen in regard to my ability, talents, hopes, and dreams.
I am finally beginning to accomplish what I've always dreamed of as far as a "career" goes. It really is happening. I'm beginning to be a paid writer, I'm helping other people meet their goals, and I'm able to be a SAHM at the same time. I have wanted this for a really, really long time. You've probably even read my posts about this!
And you know what has started to happen? These negative thoughts start popping into my head.
Maybe you should just quit Alissa. I don't know if you can handle this.
What if I'm not good enough?
What if I fail?
How can I help other people when I can't get it together myself?
I'm not pretty/fit/skinny enough to be doing this.
I don't know why people are putting so much faith in me—I hope I don't disappoint them.
You can't do it all—maybe you'd better not do any of it.
Maybe I'll just do it later.
I'm sure everyone else does a better job than I do.
Why does this begin to happen? The only reason that I am in the place of feeling at risk of failure and disappointment is because I had the courage to seek after that which makes me afraid and, now that I've made it there, I begin to doubt my ability.
I doubt myself and it would be easier to just quit. To get rid of the fears of failure by allowing myself to fail.
This is the same for my weight loss journey. I've lost 26 lbs. and now I feel stuck because of negative thought patterns which lead to negative, self-sabotaging behaviors.
I don't know what the solution is to this problem yet, but I just wanted to put it out there and get my thoughts out about it.
I think it's time that I get back to the counseling that I started for my emotional eating issues. I've only been able to go once so far! I will have to schedule an appointment soon.
Do you self-sabotage?

It was January, just weeks after I had graduated from college with a degree in Writing, and a minor in Social Justice and Advocacy. I had dreams of traveling the world, getting my hands filthy with dirt and mud and my feet covered with stories of helping people I loved—kids in India, mothers in Somalia, young girls in New York…really, I was open to anywhere. Anywhere but here (Orange County in Southern California).
It was a season that taught me, the hardest things in life are usually the ones that are the most worth it. And it was the start of me knowing, for certain, what I was always meant to do. I just needed a little reroute to hold my face and look me square in the eye…
I remember driving home from work, coasting on the 405 South one night, reflecting on my life—where it was at and where it was headed. The family I was staying with was smack in the middle of fostering the sweetest one year old, who, for some divine reason took a particular liking to me. She would only cease crying for her siblings with I would snuggle and rock her (did I hate it? Um…nope). I was applying to work in a safe house for teenage girls taken out of trafficking situations in New York, and for jobs with International Justice Ministry in Washington D.C. I was freshly single after breaking up with the guy that held my heart for three (way too) long years, and was free to learn and grow and go wherever I wanted. I don't know why that memory of driving, just driving, on the freeway with my thoughts has stuck with me for close to four years…but what I do know is that just four months later, I was rushing on the opposite side of the freeway after the police called with news that pushed me out of bed and en route to the hospital, eventually landing three boys (my brothers, ages 2, 7, and 12) into my full time care as a foster parent. Twenty-two. Single. Aspiring traveling humanitarian.
To…full-time mom overnight.
Since that day, my life has taken some crazy turns—from court dates, to giving two of the three boys back into their birth moms custody, to adopting a teen, meeting my husband, and having a baby of my own…These past three years have been _full…_to say the least. Full of nights with tears and anxiety and fear. Full of hardships that I still can't fully process. But so so full of beauty and joy and laughter. It was a season where tears reaped joy, and the beauty of the time (that's still so ongoing) far outweighed the pain.
It was a season that taught me, the hardest things in life are usually the ones that are the most worth it.
And it was the start of me knowing, for certain, what I was always meant to do. I just needed a little reroute to hold my face and look me square in the eye and say "Girl, those things are _good, traveling and helping and going…_that's good good work. But it's not the work for you."
When we pause, whether willingly or kicking and screaming, we're given the opportunity to examine our dreams, and to reevaluate where we are headed. And sometimes, go in the completely opposite direction.
Taking a step back gives us the freedom to refine our journey to reach our ultimate destination.
My step back was not intentional, nor welcomed. I grieved (and, hear me, grieving is a good thing to do when you're dreams are challenged and you are eventually asked to completely let go…in fact…it is 100% necessary). I wanted to see other places, and love people that were different than the people I'd been surrounded with my whole life. But, as life would have it, that glorious interruption showed me that my major calling in life was to be a Mommy (with that capital M), and to defend the orphans that are here. In 2014, there were over 62 thousand kids in the foster care system, two thousand of them being in Orange County alone. My home.
Once I became aware of this, how could I turn around and jump on a plane without a blink? This was my cause, and it took a good slap in the face to wake me up to it.
My step back was not intentional, nor welcomed. I grieved (and, hear me, grieving is a good thing to do when you're dreams are challenged and you are eventually asked to completely let go…in fact…it's necessary).
But it went even further than that. I was determined to work for either a ministry or organization that would let me blabber out my ideals for foster care, share my experience, maybe even (still…I know) let me travel or move away. Then, I married someone who's job relies on his location. Beyond that, welcome sweet little honeymoon baby Scout…You guys…my dreams of moving far far away are becoming further than the miles I'd hope to have moved by now.
But then, something clicked.
I started sharing my story on my blog. I started inviting people in, and I started writing more and more. I applied for the Yellow Co. and was offered a writing and editing position that has become one of those key puzzle pieces in my life. I fell into my dream job, before ever thinking I would want to edit and write full time for a career.
And here I am! Happy with where my life is headed, all because some tragic, hard, and demanding circumstances decided to weasel their way into my life.
Life forced me to pause and redefine my mission, where I am headed, and to take a completely different course. And I cannot imagine it any other way.
Through writing, by saying yes to the opposite opportunities than I thought would come, I found my passion for life. I found healing and processing. And I found a way to speak up for those I've always wanted to be a voice for, just in a very different way than I imagined.
I fell into my dream job, before ever thinking I would want to edit and write full time for a career.
Don't be afraid of those speed bumps… Those circumstances that may be disheartening or robbing of what you are pursuing. It will all work out—just take a breath, grieve if you need to, and really take a close look at the road before you. Don't be afraid of your road's turn. There's no such thing as wasted time learning. You're in process; we are all in process, and you will find your way, whether by your own epiphany or by a set of unforeseen circumstances that will push you off that diving board, and into the pool you were created for. Take heed to the shifting winds, and embrace the change, and you'll find your purpose soon enough.

January 02, 2009; Volume 05, Number 01Click here for a transcript of today's program
Happy New Year to you and yours, from all of us in Columbia, South Carolina. I hope you will find for another year enough of interest on the Japan Considered Podcasts to bring you back for more. Now that I'm an officially retired person, I can no longer use the "day job got in the way" excuse for not producing programs on time. So hopefully we'll have even more of them this year. No promise! But I'll do my best.
This week I have a real treat for you. Dr. Jim Auer of Vanderbilt University agreed at the last minute to do an interview to explain the ins and outs of the collective self defense issue for us. Even though he was in the midst of year-end and year-beginning family festivities over there in Tennessee. Thanks, Jim!
Quite a few of you wrote in after the last program asking for more detail about this subject. And since it's well beyond my area of expertise -- even my presumed area of expertise -- I thought it best to call in an expert.
I'd hoped also to consider the timing of Japan's next general election. But that didn't work out. Next time for sure. There's lots of interest for us to consider there. Even though Japan's media has been full of the topic for the past couple of weeks.

Father God in Heaven, I confess my sin. Please forgive me for not loving You with all my heart, mind, body and soul. Forgive me for not loving my neighbor as myself.. for my selfish pride and arrogance in living my life independent of you . Forgive me for allowing the little "gods" of this world to distract me and steal my dedication to You. Please forgive me for being judgmental and not loving the fatherless and widows. Forgive me for making life all about ME. Forgive me for the sins of my land and my generation. Forgive me for not standing when opinions are against YOUR WORD. Forgive me for having my own agenda. Forgiving me for not loving You as I should . Forgive me for my anger and bitterness. Forgive me for not humbling myself in Your sight. Father most of all forgive me for my self-righteousness instead of walking always in Your ways. Father, please forgive me of my sin and heal my land. Please, Father God, heal my land.
2 Chronicles 7:14
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

text: Huntington Memorial Hospital and Pasadena Fire Department Partner at Paseo Colorado for CPR Hands-Only Training June 8, 2015 Last week, Huntington Memorial Hospital and Pasadena Fire Department hosted a free, Hands-Only CPR Training at the Paseo Colorado in Pasadena. CPR instructors demonstrated the basics and proper techniques of Hands-Only CPR for teens and adults. Over two hundred participants practiced the technique on mannequins and received additional information about CPR certification. Thank you to all who participated! According to the American Heart Association, cardiac arrests are more common than you think. Nearly 300,000 out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrests occur annually and only 32 percent of cardiac arrest victims get CPR from a bystander. Effective bystander CPR provided immediately after sudden cardiac arrest can double or triple a victim's chance of survival. For more information about Hands-Only CPR, please visit the American Heart Association website at www.Heart.org/HandsOnlyCPR. Categories News Previous Next

To truly know anatomy, you must be able to discuss in anatomical parlance.
Layman terms are usually ambiguous. If I need to communicate detail, I need the science terms.
For example, if I want to talk about how a client's humeral position is affecting their glenoid labrum, describing it with the word "shoulder" is not enough. Whereas I think the shoulder joint is the glenohumeral joint, others may think I'm talking about the deltoid muscle, upper trap, rotator cuff, etc…
This video will quickly go through the terms we use to describe anatomical location.
Sorry, there is no free preview of this video.

Hey Guys,
Ive done a search but everything comes up with how to Sync maschine and traktor.
What i want to discuss is what we do 'After' we have got them synced...
Last night i gave this sync a go and got it up and running in a jiffy...
Fun - YES, Annoying - YES
It seems the levels on the Maschine running through the 4th channel on my DJM were just soo loud, even after turning the output from maschine down to the same as my track decks it still sounded like a kick drum was distorted.. (maybe this is just my levels on the maschine software)
Hi Hats and Snares worked well layered on to my track decks, although i found the whole sound of the maschine channel to sound quite gimmicky, is this because the sounds are all midi notes and not been mastered down?
Anyway what im asking is how do you, (those that actually do) incorporate maschine or any other sequencer, apc etc etc into your dj sets?
I cant see myself using more then the occasional drum sequence here and there??

Can you incorporate existing features of the site to enhance play?
In 2010 we were commissioned to develop a Masterplan for McNaughton Kindergarten. The site had a number of fixed items and the plan developed needed to take into account some difficult level changes. It allowed for a new enlarged sandpit, with a natural waterplay area, relocated swing area, new whare play space, open flexible play area and natural play areas including lawn beneath a large oak tree which was successfully crown thinned to reduce heavy shade.
Our designers prepared, developed and detailed design for the staged development of the works. The first stage at the rear of the site was developed with swings, whare and some natural area. The second stage was built in association with a building project, where a new office and storage shed were built at the front of the site. A new entry and flat concrete play area were installed in association with these works. The third stage included the new sand pit, flexible play area over softfall surface, grass area and planting.
Site Masterplanning, developed and detail design and documentation and supervision of implementation.

Redneck Nutz was started in 2013, in the Queen City of the Ozarks, Springfield Missouri, by Mary and David San Paolo. After talking to a close family member who suffers from Celiac Disease, we were surprised to discover seasoned nuts often contained gluten and MSG. Who would have thought that a healthy food was off limits to so many people? We decided to make nuts a healthy option for many people again by making them an MSG-Free and Gluten-Free Snack!
We like to have fun in life and never take ourselves too seriously! Most of our nuts are named after our nutty family members - some names have been changed to protect the "innocent!"
As well as in our online store, Redneck Nutz are also sold at many retail outlets.We offer products y'all want for yourselves as well as gifts for special occasions and corporate gift giving.
Feel free to contact us, we love hearing from you!
If you are interested in purchasing wholesale, contact us by email with your company information at email@example.com or by phone at 417-612-7097

Behind the Names
We all have family and friends who we admire and have fond memories of and us at Redneck Nutz are no different. When we were trying to decide on what flavors to make, we started thinking about our family and friends and what kinds of flavors their memories conjured up. You know, like from the picnics and family dinners that you always looked forward to because aunt so-and-so would bring her specialty.
Well, we tapped into those memories and some might be exaggerated a little-just like any good family story. We also had to change a couple of names to protect the innocent or those in the witness protection program.
Curious Joe's Curry - Joe is the eldest son and has always had an adventurous side. He not only left the Ozarks to go off to college but he traveled Europe. Along his travels, he developed a taste for curry, so naturally, he wanted his nuts covered in curry.
Bubba's Smokin BBQ - It's hard to even recall how many times our family has enjoyed Bubba's smoky bbq meats. All we know is that we had Bubba's sweet smoky meats at all the family gatherins. Now, we can't jar the smoky barbequed deliciousness of Bubba's brisket but, what we can do for ya, is to coat our nutz in his tasty seasonings.
Uncle Homer's Hot Wing - Bubba might be famous for his smoky meats but, Uncle Homer was nearly as famous for his hot wings. Uncle Homer would make a mess of wings for Sunday football and we would wash them down with a few beers. After an afternoon (preceded by Sunday morning church of course) of eatin wings and throwing back beers, Uncle Homer would start telling stories of this glory days on the high school gridiron. We kids didn't mind though, a few stories, heard over and over, was worth the price to munch on those wings.
Charlie Bob's Cheddar Bacon - Now we always thought Cousin Charlie Bob was a little off in the head. He would eat bacon with everything. His paw raised pigs, and we suppose he raised them pigs to keep Charlie Bob in bacon. One of his favorites was a 2 slices of cheddar cheese with the bacon slices sandwiched between. We remember Cousin Charlie Bob everytime we eat a handful of these tangy nuggets.
Moe's Mouth Puckerin Dill - Now, you can't grow up in the country without enjoying some good homemade pickles. Uncle Moe was the Peter Piper Pickler of Walnut Grove, formerly known as Possum Trot. He had a garden full of cucumbers and he would pickle them all summer. He made dill, butter and sweet pickles but, the favorite was dill.
Uncle Moe's Halipeen-Ya Dill - Uncle Moe had a wife named Trixie. Well, she liked her pickles hot, so Uncle Moe had to kick em up a notch with jalapeno peppers to keep Aunt Trixie happy. We did the same with these Halipeen-Ya Dill nuts. Warning: even more addicting that Uncle Moe's Puckerin Dill.
Harley's Habanero & Lime - Harley has always done things his way, he's a little bit rebel and a little bit stubborn. Harley wanted a delicious sack of nuts that he could take with him while he was riding the wide open highway on his hog. Harley wanted something hot with a twist. This flavor has Harley's approval, an explosion of habanero, followed by the tingle of lime. Hey, what Harley wants, Harley gets, one way or another!
Cousin Miller's Ghost Pepper -Cousin Miller thinks everything has to be hot, hot, hot. Cousin Miller bugged the heck out of us until we made something that would water his eyes and put his mouth on fire. We made a flavor that is sure to keep him awake during his long crappie fishin trips. Now, if it would just keep him from telling those tall fishing tales!
AJ's Sriracha & Garlic -AJ got hooked on this chili sauce called sriracha back when he was working in an Asian restaurant in school. Ever since then, he's been eatin it on just about everthing-rice, beans, eggs, taters and now he can enjoy sriracha on his nuts.
Amanda Beth's Gingerbread Spice Cashews - Named after Amanda Beth, these cashews are full of sugar and spice and will make you all warm and fuzzy inside. Amanda Beth is the purdy ginger who lives down the road. All the boys love her because of her beauty, the girls love her because of her genuine sweetness.
Sissy's Cin'mon Sugar Cashews -The sweet crunch of Sissy's cashews, is yummy goodness. Sissy has a sweet tooth almost bigger than her heart. Her cin'mon sugar cashews will satisfy most any folks sweet cravins with the perfect blend of cinnamon and sugar on a whole cashew.
Granny's Fancy Maple Pecans - Granny is the beloved grandmother of the founder. Everyone needs a grandma like her! The only thing better than Granny's pecan pie, was her fancy shmancy pecans. Granny would use the pecan halves to make her delicious pecan pies for Thanksgiving. With the broken pecan pieces, she would coat them in pure maple syrup and roast them until the maple syrup bubbled up like road tar on a hot day. We use pecan halves to recreate Granny's delicious treat.
Wilma's Maple Black Walnuts - Ahh, Wilma's maple black walnuts, now these brings back some tasty memories. Back in the day, we not only picked the meat out of the walnut shell for her but, we also picked the walnuts up from under the trees. Sometimes we'd even have to send little brother up the trees to give 'em a shake to bring down the stubborn nuts. Our reward was holidays full of Wilma's baked goods, maple and chocolate fudge, banana bread, cookies, she made it all. Wilma is the founder's Mother, besides being the best mom anyone could ask for, she is an awesome baker/cook.

A Missouri appellate court has ruled that a legal malpractice claim survived the death of a client. In Roedder v. Callis, a client caused a serious motor vehicle accident, which left the other operator paralyzed. The victim sued the client for negligence and the client hired an attorney to defend him in the case. Following a trial, the court entered judgment against the client in the amount of almost $25 million.
The client then brought a legal malpractice suit against the attorney. Shortly after filing his complaint, the client died. His wife, acting as personal representative of his estate, successfully moved to substitute herself as plaintiff. The attorney then moved to dismiss the claim on the grounds that the claim abated with the client's death. The trial court granted the motion and the wife appealed.
The appellate court reversed the dismissal and remanded the case. The court found that under Missouri law, causes of action arising from either personal injuries or damage to property, survive the injured party's death and may be brought by a successor. The court determined that a legal malpractice claim could be construed as both a personal injury claim, because of the nature of the attorney-client relationship, and also a property damage claim, because of the failure to protect the client's financial interest. The court thus found that the client's claim survived his death and could be pursued by his wife.
Decision: Roedder v. Callis
If you believe that you or your company has suffered damages as the result of the negligent conduct of a lawyer, contact Boston Legal Malpractice Lawyer, Keith L. Miller, to arrange a free consultation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by telephone at (617) 523-5803, or click here to send him a confidential email. You will receive a response within 24 hours.

St. Augustine on how we should proceed in the study of Scripture (On Christian Doctrine, Book II, Chapter 9):
"And in pursuing this search the first rule to be observed, as I said, to know these book [of Holy Scriptures], if not yet in understanding, still to read them so as to commit them to memory [emphasis mine –Antiochian-Thomist]…. Next, those matters that are plainly laid down in them, whether rules of life or rules of faith, are to be searched into more carefully and more diligently…. For among the things that are plainly laid down in Scripture are to be found all matters that concern faith and the manner of life, –to wit, hope and love…. After this when we have made ourselves to a certain extent familiar with the language of Scripture, we may proceed to open up and and investigate the more obscure passages, and in doing so draw examples from the plainer expressions to throw light upon the more obscure…. And in this matter memory counts a great deal."
St. Augustine on knowledge of languages for Sacred Scriptures (On Christian Doctrine, Book II, Chapter 11):
"The great remedy for ignorance of proper signs is knowledge of languages…. And men…need two other languages for the knowledge of Scripture, Hebrew and Greek [emphasis mine]…. For in some languages there are words that cannot be translated into the idiom of another language."
St. Augustine gives counsels on how and what to study in Sacred Scriptures. From the context, it should be evident that our Latin Father of the Church is addressing the clergy and learned laity. Nonetheless, his pronouncements should still ring true for our clergy and apt laity of today. Consider the instruction of Pope St. Pius X in his letter Quoniam in Re Biblica (24 March, 1906) which established the rules governing education in Holy Writ in the seminaries. It is as though he read St. Augustine, put down the book, and picked up the pen and scribed the following:
"In all of the academies, the candidates for the academic degrees of theology must answer certain Scriptural questions concerning the historical introduction of the Bible and its critique, and also concerning exegesis; and they will show by an examination that they can interpret Holy Writ with relative ease and understand Hebrew and Biblical Greek [emphasis mine]."
Further, consider this from Pope Leo XIII in Providentissimus Deus
"It is necessary that professors of Holy Scripture –and the same applies to theologians– know the languages in which the canonical books were originally drafted by the sacred writers, and it would be excellent if the ecclesiastical students acquire the same knowledge, above all those who aspire to academic degrees in theology. It will be necessary to take special care to have, in all Academies, teaching chairs in the languages of antiquity, above all the Semitic languages [emphasis mine]."
How many seminaries, 'traditional' or otherwise, Latin or Eastern, can claim to train at least the better part of their seminarians in this manner (admittedly, probably more Eastern than Latin)?
It should be noted that the Church continues to encourage the laity to delve into the infinite riches of Sacred Scripture. Although many of the faithful do not have the time or the aptitude to memorize Scripture or the learn Scriptural languages, much wisdom can be gleaned from the prayerful rumination of Holy Writ translated into one's vernacular. Further, there exist several good translations of Scriptural commentaries composed by various Fathers of the Church and St. Thomas Aquinas, so one need not worry about lacking good guides through some of the complexities of Holy Writ.
In the words of Our Lord to St. Augustine as the latter was pondering a theological issue: "Tolle et lege!" [Take and read!]

Over the past few years, we have been hearing plenty of talk about Apple entering the TV business. This may finally be happening now. A report suggests that the company is planning to step into web-based pay-TV business soon.
According to re/code, industry sources say that Apple is currently talking to TV programmers to work out deals so that it could offer TV content to consumers over the internet. The company would bundle up several TV channels and sell it directly over the web to consumers in its own way, using its own interface and consumer experience.
Sources say that Apple would not offer the whole TV channel lineup that the Pay-TV providers usually provide, but it will offer specific TV programming, trying to revolutionize the pay-TV business in its own way.
As re/code puts it, "The theory is that Apple would put together bundles of programming — but not the entire TV lineup that pay-TV providers generally offer — and sell it directly to consumers, over the Web. "
Although Apple has shown demos of its proposed pay-TV service to the programmers, talks are still in initial stages with some programmers yet to even begin talks with the company. So terms such as timing and pricing are still a long way from being considered.
Apple has been trying to get into the TV business since many years and has tried several different strategies in the past to no avail. It had earlier tried to plan out something with cable providers but it didn't work out. So now Apple has apparently decided to leave them alone and work instead with TV content owners.
Sony and Dish have already set up deals with programmers to offer linear TV and video-on-demand via internet. So far, Apple's role in the TV business was limited to Apple TV box that streams web content to traditional TV. Now Apple wants to sell the actual TV content as well.

Its groundbreaking animations have captivated us for over two decades. But can it survive growing competition from its rivals?by Francine Stock / May 16, 2017 / Leave a comment
To Pixar and Beyond: My Unlikely Journey with Steve Jobs to Make Entertainment History by Lawrence Levy (Oneworld, £18.99)
The story begins in 1994. Lawrence Levy, a tech executive in his thirties, is at home with his wife Hillary discussing his new job. Go and see Steve, she says—tell him your concerns. Cut to exterior, early evening, in the amber light of Old Palo Alto. Levy approaches the entrance to Steve Jobs's Tudor-style "cottage." In Jobs's den the two men mull over Pixar, the tech company Levy has just accepted Jobs's invitation to run.
Levy is worried: Pixar, founded in 1986, has many promising divisions (advertising, RenderMan graphics software and an unfinished feature film provisionally entitled Toy Story); but no profits even after Jobs has sunk $50m into the company. How can it be viable for Pixar to go public? Would Jobs interfere? Would they be allowed stock options? Meanwhile, Pixar's distributor Disney is waiting to gobble up or even crush the upstart start-up. Will this be an edgy thriller or will the story end happily, like a feel-good family film?
To Pixar and Beyond, Levy's memoir of his time heading the most dazzling entertainment studio of our times, has all the twists and turns of one of Pixar's own films. You will know the films even if you don't recognise the studio name. Most famously Toy Story, the film that brought an adult sophistication to the animation genre; Finding Nemo (2003), which followed a single-father fish in search of his lost son; and the topsy-turvy Inside Out (2015), a kind of Being John Malkovich for children.
As Levy describes it, the first intimation that Pixar would be saved was in 1995, when hardened Hollywood bankers and lawyers saw an early version of Toy Story. They emerged dazzled and enchanted, though they didn't initially produce the finance. In just two decades, however, Pixar's 17 animated films have earned $11bn at the box office and won 13 Academy Awards, eight of them for Best Animated Feature.
Levy's account of his Pixar years—though he ceased to be an executive in 1999, he remained on the board until the company's sale in 2006—makes a good companion to Creativity Inc, the bestselling 2014 guide to…

Nearly half a million dollars worth of marijuana has been seized by the Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard says that on Tuesday around 6:37 am, an interceptor, while on routine patrol, intercepted a 28-foot white pirogue in the Third Boca with two occupants on board.
The pirogue, occupants and contents on board were escorted back to Staubles Bay where further searches were conducted.
During the search two crocus bags with 59 packets of a "plant-like substance" were discovered, weighing approximately 32 kilograms with an estimated street value of TT$440,100.
The two Trinidadian occupants were detained by the Coast Guard and subsequently handed over to the Organized Crime, Narcotics and Firearms Bureau of the Police Service to continue investigations.


text: Greetings reader of this journal. I'm here to rant about how good Brooks West's new cd is. Brooks is an old friend from Fargo, ND and we used to do a lot of shows together back in the day. He's since relocated to Pennsylvania. He just put out his second cd, and it is just awesome. He's got so many great lyrics that I wish I had written! I'm hoping he'll be touring around the midwest some to support this disc, as it's been too long since I've seen him play. In any case, do yourself a favor and look into purchasing this cd. You can find a link to Brooks' website on my link page. Check it out!

Alternatives to Herbicides & Pesticides
Herbicides and pesticides used to control weeds and kill garden pests can be toxic to humans and to the environment. Toxins from chemicals used in the garden seep into the ground and can harm wildlife and beneficial insects. Pesticide and herbicide alternatives are available. A combination of treatments will prove the most successful.
Organic Pesticides
Unfortunately, organic pesticide treatments can also kill off natural pest enemies, good bugs, while ridding you of your problem insects. Consider the effect of the organic pesticide and where it will be used. For instance, mineral oil is sometimes sprayed on plants to get rid of aphids. However, mineral oil also kills ladybugs, which eat the aphids.
Certain plant oils have insecticidal qualities, either killing or repelling pests. For example, jojoba oil kills whiteflies and cinnamon repels ants, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Spice-based organic products are currently in use by farmers 2. These organics have shown success in protecting strawberries, spinach and tomato crops. The spiced-based pesticides are a combination of rosemary, thyme, clove and mint. Other plants that show insect-fighting potential include lavender, basil, bergamot and patchouli oil. They are sprayed on the plants but tend to degrade rapidly and therefore must be reapplied often. Another benefit of the spiced-based oils is they do not kill beneficial bugs.
Insecticidal soap made from coconut oil and bacillus thuringienis, Bt, which is a disease to insects, is another organic option. Insecticidal soap can be toxic to fish, so use caution if you have a pond near your garden.
Predator Insects
Predator insects, such as ladybugs and praying mantises, are a natural solution to controlling garden pests. They reduce the need for pesticides and do not have a negative environmental impact. Beneficial bugs also include:
- the western damsel bug
- lady beetle
- green lacewing
- minute pirate bug
- assassin bug
- hover fly
- tachinid fly
- according to the University of Oregon
Mechanical Control
Mechanical control is just what it sounds like, hand picking weeds. A 2007 study by the Rodale Institute asked organic farmers what they did about weeds. Hand weeding was the most common method used by farmers to control weeds. Mulching, flame weeding and animal grazing are other mechanical control practices that are effective. Mechanical control eliminates the need for chemical herbicides.

For the first time ever, the Freeride World Tour will stop in the ski Mecca that is Haines, Alaska. The field has been reduced in all categories leaving only the top 60% for this historic first.
It has long been a dream, for organizers and athletes alike, to have an FWT stop in the grandiose terrain around Haines, where the first ever freeride competitions emerged. It's now a reality and the battle in the Alaskan mountains will be decisive for the athletes who wish to compete at the 20th edition of the prestigious Xtreme Verbier.
"The community is very excited to welcome the Freeride World Tour to Haines," says Leslie Ross (USA), Haines Tourism Director. "The Freeride World Tour features the best skiers and snowboarders in the world and this will be a historic occasion for the town and surrounding region. We can't wait to introduce them to our world class skiing and riding and our Alaskan hospitality."
This contest not only provides the athletes with a chance to ride the amazing terrain around Haines, which many athletes have already qualified as one of the highlights of the season. It also gives one more result to base the qualification for the Xtreme Verbier on – and of course, better odds for qualifying for the FWT 2016. As for the snow conditions it looks promising, as Freeride World Tour Americas Manager and newschoolers stalwart Tom Winter reports:
"According to the Haines Avalanche Information Center, we are returning to an onshore flow and snow and colder weather is expected into next week. This will help prime the venue for the athletes and I can't wait to see them turned loose in Alaska."
The historic event in Haines will be broadcast live just as the other FWT stops on http://www.freerideworldtour.com. It has been very important to the FWT organizers to provide fans with the opportunity to follow the action real-time, although it is both costly and demanding to set up for live coverage in this extreme and remote location. As always, weather plays an important role and since it can be particularly tricky on this latitude, a nine-day 'weather window' has been assigned with the expected competition date being March 14. The bonus for the majority of NSers is that the event will take place at a US friendly time thanks to the move to Alaska, so make sure you tune in!

One of the scripts I've used quite a lot over the past few years is the community driven vCheck PowerShell HTML framework script:
Most if not all of my clients have this script setup to run daily so that reports could be sent to them to either identify potential issues before the start of the day or lingering issues that they may not have been aware about. I highly recommend implementing this in all vSphere environments at some capacity to gain insight into the hosts and vCenter.
One of the most common issues clients tend to face is how to set this script to run automatically in a Windows Task Scheduler so this post serves to demonstrate the way I usually set it up.
Begin by launching Task Scheduler on a server you would like to select to execute this task:
Select the folder you would like to create the task in, then right click in the window and select Create New Task...:
Enter a name for the task, select Run whether user is logged on or not and enable Run with highest privileges in the General tab:
Navigate to the Triggers tab and then click on the New... button:
Configure the trigger with the frequency you'd like the task to run:
Navigate to the Actions tab and then click on the New... button:
Fill in the following fields:

A Scottish ballad book
Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Folklore series
The popular appeal of the ballad is perennial, and few literary genres give so much pleasure to so many kinds of people.
This anthology, first published in 1973, is drawn from the richest ballad tradition in Britain, that of the Northeast of Scotland.
It provides a fresh and original choice of songs that ranges from the old ballads like 'Gil Brenton' and 'Willie's Lady' to the bothy ballads like 'The Tarves Rant'.
The collection illustrates the development of a tradition over the centuries from the oral stage down to the modern, and exemplifies the methods of composition and transmission, the kinds of ballad-story, and the types of ballad-text found in the various stages of a ballad tradition.
It illustrates the variety of subject matter, and indicates lines of relationship with other genres of Folklore Studies.
A substantial section, containing what are widely acknowledged as the best of all British ballads, the oral ballads of Anna Brown, demonstrates clearly that the ballads are not merely simple or crude poems; in their oral form, they are narrative songs of some complexity and sophistication.
This anthology is complementary to Dr Buchan's The Ballad and the Folk.

Rihanna's body is now actually a work of art. At this year's Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art, Colombian mixed media artist Juan Sebastián Peláez presented a giant cutout image of the star with her head removed and face superimposed onto her chest. The piece, titled Ewaipanoma (Rihanna), is the latest in a series of works featuring headless celebrities and athletes with facial features placed on their upper bodies. The image, inspired by "drawings from sixteenth-century explorers of the New World, who on returning home described having encountered so-called 'Blemmyae,' headless natives with faces on their upper, naked bodies," has flooded the internet from Twitter to MTV.
Peláez's series represents the giant nature of celebrity, as well as the objectification of celebrity culture. The artist uses images of superstars in bikinis or invasive paparazzi photos for his work and in doing so, exposes the microscope celebrities exist under, while maximizing it through display. By removing their heads, Peláez suggests the shallowness of our culture's obsession—the specifics of these people, their reality, don't matter when their primary role is as an object for us to gawk at. The imposition of the subject's face on their chest is representative of the "sometimes monstrous body modifications typical of celebrity culture," while also referencing "longstanding projections of otherness."

Research and Development
Finding new and better solutions
Innovation is at the heart of our business, so we make a huge investment in research and development, both locally and around the world.
Our latest local initiative, the major wheat and oilseeds breeding centre in Horsham, reflects our total commitment to the future of Australian farming as well the need to broaden the scope of our research.
Bringing new chemical compounds to market is now much more difficult than in the past. Thirty years ago, an average of one in every ten thousand compounds that was tested could be developed for commercial release. Now the rate is only one in every fifty thousand, which means inventor companies like ours have to be even more committed – and we are even more dependent on our customers' support for the innovative products we are able to launch.
While it can cost more than $1.5 million in local research to bring a new product or active ingredient to market, there are long-term rewards for everyone in Australian agriculture:
- Higher returns on investment for farmers through increased yields and quality.
- New modes of action with improved environmental profiles that help to manage resistant pathogens, pests and weeds more efficiently and sustainably.
- Assured access to world markets through the introduction of modern, more targeted chemistry.
Partners in innovation
With fewer new molecules being discovered and made available, we are diversifying our research and development program to include breeding new varieties, developing biological products and integrating our products with other management tools and strategies.
That diversified approach encompasses working with other innovative organisations such as CSIRO and the GRDC. In 2012 we announced a partnership with both organisations to increase the yield of Australian wheat crops – a project in which the new Horsham centre will play a significant role.

Published at Monday, July 08th, 2019 - 02:45:00 AM. Wedding Venue. By Amall Vogel.
Most wedding venues in Essex not only hold the wedding ceremony, but also allow you to hold your wedding breakfast and of course your evening reception. Again, consider how many guests you will be inviting, and check with the wedding venue how many people they can comfortably seat for the meal. You certainly don't want your wedding guests crammed in, nor do you want guests shoved somewhere at the back of the venue too far away from the top table. Check with the wedding venue if they have their own caterers or whether you need to look for wedding caterers yourself. This will have a significant impact on the costs of hiring the wedding venue.
Then, from this position you can start to focus your search on wedding venues that befit the general style or styles(s) you have in mind. For instance classic or vintage would tend to lead you toward old historic venues, such as castles or stately homes. Whereas contemporary might lead you toward venues that are more of a blank canvas, such as art galleries. And if you are considering funky or maybe chic, you might focus your search on appropriately styled boutique hotels.

Remember four years ago when newly elected President Barack Obama told us to look at the European countries who had socialized medicine as examples of what America should have? He mentioned England and Canada and then referred to other countries as models for us to follow.
Virtually every one of those model countries are facing financial shortfalls in their national health programs. Great Britain is cutting covered services and treatments to help offset the rising costs.
Now, socialists in France and Belgium are pushing for ways to reduce the cost of national healthcare.
France's new socialist President Francois Hollande just announced that he will allow doctors to accelerate the death of terminally ill patients. His proposal will be reviewed by a medical ethics board who hopes to have a formal plan of implementation ready by June of 2013. In addressing the issue, Hollande said:
"The existing legislation does not meet the legitimate concerns expressed by people who are gravely and incurably ill."
In Belgium, the socialist party just introduced legislation that would allow minors and Alzheimer's patients to request permission to die. Belgium passed an euthanasia law in 2002, but it only applies to people over the age of 18. The current plan is to amend the existing law to include minors that 'are capable of discernment or affected by an incurable illness or suffering that we cannot alleviate.'
Historically, euthanasia starts with the terminally ill and dying. Then it expands to the physically and mentally disabled that they deem to be a burden on society. Before you know it, unwanted children and the elderly will be included so that they aren't a burden on their families or society.
Yeah, I know the argument about ending someone's suffering, but I don't agree with it. My own father is 91 and dying. He is in terrible pain because most of his lower spine had disintegrated. Yes, I hate to see him suffer and I do pray that God would intervene and take him, but I would never entertain the thought of seeing him take his own life or being involved with anyone who helped him do it.
I'm 61 years old and have lived in constant pain since I was 17. There are days that I hurt so bad that I can hardly stand it. To top it off, I have a genetic immunity to about 80% of pain medicines so there isn't anything I have found that really helps. Yes, there have been times that I have prayed for God to take me if it was HIS will, not mine. He hasn't acted on that option, so I continue to strive on, write my articles, be with my family and do what I can to help others and make a difference in their lives.
Why do I feel this way about my dad and myself? It's because we both believe in Jesus Christ and know that He will not give us more than we can bear. When God is ready, he will call my dad home and I expect it to be soon. As for me, I've had eight incidences in my life where I should have or could have been killed, but for some reason, God has chosen to keep me here. So until He calls me home, I will continue to serve Him and my family to the best of my ability.
No euthanasia or accelerated death for us, no matter what our socialist government says.

We all use reference when we draw; sometimes it's from an image from a book or a photo we took. But the best reference — whenever possible — is to draw from real life.
Doodle Tip: Draw from Real Life
We were especially lucky to live in Brisbane, Australia, where the climate was mostly warm year-round — a great place for doodling outdoors. It's also fantastic for bird watching. Not only do you see (several kinds of ) pigeons roaming the neighborhood, but there are cockatoos, rainbow lorikeets, and kookaburras. Birds are terrific drawing subjects; we enjoyed taking the ferry to Ascot, a suburb near the Brisbane River, or venturing to the Wynnum waterfront to draw pelicans and seagulls.
Pelicans are much larger than you'd expect, and their distinctive long beaks make them easy to draw, because it's a very recognizable feature.
- Start with oval shapes for the head and body.
- Then draw the long, pointy beak, skinny legs, and feathered wings.
See more drawing tips for drawing birds here.
Little Dude had his own interpretation of the pelicans. He drew their soft throat pouches, webbed feet and textured wings.
Seagulls are easy to spot anytime you're near the sea. You have to be quick to capture them, but if you're patient, you might catch one standing around. Here's a video of me drawing the seagulls:
One floating in the bay by Little Dude:
Go outside in your backyard, or to the nearby park and see if there are pigeons, crows, or squirrels to draw. Often there may be people walking their dogs, and they make terrific models too. Hope this inspires you to draw from your life too!

This sounds..
Amazing! It's so much fun to create something if you have an actual goal! And also it's very entertaining ;P
Couldn't we, the dayknights, do this, even though it wouldn't make it into a show?
I'd love to hear day9s oppinion on the projects, but if doesn't have time for this (and this seems really time consuming: looking into the code, seeing game flaws (meaning he'd have to play most of those) and talking about things which probably aren't fully his métier like graphics and music might make this really hard for him)

Be Our Guest Restaurant has enchanted us since we first glimpsed the concept art and heard from the Imagineers in these videos.
Counter-Service (fast-casual) for breakfast and lunch, then Table Service (sit down) for dinner.
Breakfast and lunch are unique at Be Our Guest Restaurant in that guests can make Advanced Dining Reservations for this Counter Service experience (and it is advised to do so, as these experiences remain incredibly popular).
And for lunch, guests can pre-order their meals using "My Disney Experience" within 30 days of their dining date. For those who choose not to pre-order their lunch, touch-screen, automated terminals are available for guests to customize their orders. For special dietary requests and cash orders, cashiers are also available.
Once your order is placed (either online or via the My Disney Experience app in advance or at the restaurant), you'll sit down and your order will be delivered to you on real tableware — no paper and plastic around here. 😉 Guests who have eaten at Wolfgang Puck Express in Downtown Disney will understand the process here.
At dinner, guests will be seated and served as in other Disney table-service restaurants. Keep reading to find out about the lovely dining rooms you'll be dining in! The restaurant seats 546 total.

Click these links to see a Be Our Guest Restaurant Photo Tour, and Photos of Be Our Guest Restaurant's West Wing and Rose Gallery. The restaurant is nestled underneath the mysterious castle (home to Beast from "Beauty and the Beast") in the new Fantasyland "countryside"! Passing through an old gateway to a stone bridge and through wrought-iron gates with six beastly figures along the sides, guests are reminded of the story of the Beast's transformation.
The doors inside the lower rocks (on the right) and between the green trees lead to Be Our Guest. Knock, knock!
When arriving for lunch, guests are directed through the Armor Hallway, where six suits of armor stand along the wall (listen closely for an occasional whisper from the metal figures). Wow! In the Beast's Parlor, lunch orders are placed at five guest-activated terminals (for those who have not participated in the pre-order process).
For dinner, guests enter directly into the majestic Ballroom. Medieval windows extending to the ceiling enchant diners seated in the delicate Rose Gallery with twirling, larger-than-life figures of Belle and Beast, forbidden, dramatic West Wing featuring an enchanted rose, or the two-story stately Ballroom styled with a domed ceiling, twinkling chandeliers and views of softly falling snow. The Ballroom conveys the film's elegance with a coffered, 20-foot ceiling with fluffy clouds and cherubs, sparkling chandeliers and a terrazzo floor. At the far end of the room, 18-foot-tall arched windows look out to the French countryside, where special effects create a light snowfall through the starry sky. Stepping into the West Wing, guests will find a darker and more mysterious atmosphere. The glass bell jar containing the enchanted rose slowly drops petals as time runs out for the beast. Over the fireplace, a portrait of the young prince in human form is slashed by the beast's claws. With flashes of lightning, the image in the portrait transforms from prince to Beast. The Rose Gallery features a large music box centerpiece nearly 7 feet tall with Belle and the Beast slowly twirling atop. Paintings and tapestries adorn the walls, celebrating the characters from the story, with four of the tapestries inspired by background art from the film. Carved roses are featured throughout the room! From the mysterious cracked door arch into the Beast's Ballroom…
…to these gorgeous entryway mosaics, even the floor is tiled with intricate mosaics!
With imagineered details, guests will feel as if they've been transported inside the beloved film. Check out a video of the massive mural that serves as the ballroom's backdrop!
Guests will be enchanted with original artwork and theme elements like this incredible portraitof the Beast himself.
We love this decor motif — the enchanted rosefrom Beauty and the Beast!
Any fan of the film knows that the symbol of the rose plays a significant role in the telling of Beast's story.
When you arrive for the first time, take note of the roses carved into the backs of restaurant chairs.
Gilded roses add to the motif.
And be sure to look up when passing through the restaurant to take in the rich detail of the ceiling, as well as the roses on the capitals of these pillars.
This stunning stained-glass rose chandelier resembles cathedral windows! The stocky candles that flank the middle panel really convey the feeling that you're in a castle. And check out that gorgeous blue and gold mosaic domed ceiling!
As in all Disney films, music is an important element throughout the Be Our Guest restaurant. Musical themes from the film add to the ambiance. In the Ballroom, a 50-piece orchestra recorded the music from the film. The Rose Gallery, features special music box arrangements of the same pieces heard in the Ballroom, in perfect synchrony, so that guests moving from room to room will hear the same tune transformed from one style to another. It's in the West Wing, that a somber, melancholy arrangement will be heard.

Ashley Hyndman
Master of Counselling (MC)
Registered Clinical Counsellor
Ashley is a Registered Clinical Counsellor and holds a Master of Counselling degree from City University of Seattle. She understands that counselling can sometimes be a very difficult process. This may be so true at times, that we put it off for years. Even so, the minute you decide to take that first step, Ashley will be right alongside, motivating, gently pushing, listening, and working hard to ensure that you get everything you need to be successful in your journey.
An area that Ashley is very passionate about, is working with youth and their families. It is her belief that strong relationships are the key to a great life. She works tirelessly to create these healthy relationships, both within the family and within the youth themselves. She spent many years working with youth outside of counselling, so this was a natural transition for her. Ashley finds great importance in taking the time to understand and appreciate the difficulties each individual child and adolescent may struggle with on a daily basis, and helps them establish coping strategies to gain a sense of control over their ever changing lives. She works with the youth on understanding and accepting all parts of their individual identity to construct genuine and authentic confidence and self-esteem. Ashley encourages parents and/or guardians of the youth to establish a therapeutic relationship with her as well, to ensure that there is a fully supportive and loving foundation from which the young person can gain strength and understanding.
Ashley also has a depth and breadth of knowledge and experience working with individuals and couples. Her goal is to assist them to find their desired path and direction in life; together or independently. She works to help people understand their own identity, which in turn boosts their self-esteem and confidence. And with this new information, Ashley is able to assist people in finding more direction in their lives and teach them how to maintain constant forward movement.
Ashley's key areas of focus include: bullying of all types, self-harm, youth-parent struggles and relationship building, anxiety, depression, compassionate communication for individuals and couples, anger management, trauma, grief and loss, addiction, and establishing direction in life.
Practicing from a client-centered approach, using Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Ashley strives to create a safe, supportive, calm and compassionate environment to allow people to be their full selves and share their experiences as their own.
Ashley provides counselling in English.
Vancouver counsellor, Ashley Hyndman, not accepting new referrals at this time.
