- 1 Better Startup Experience (Graphical Boot Sequence)
Better Startup Experience (Graphical Boot Sequence)
The startup experience needs to be flicker-free, seamless and shiny.
- Name: RayStrode, JonMcCann, PeterJones, DavidAirlie et al
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 10
- Last updated: 2008-06-18
- Percentage of completion: 33%
F9 has kernel modesetting for Intel hardware. Ray has been working on a prototype rhgb replacement called Plymouth. It was put on hold while kernel modesetting was maturing, and has been revived after F9.
The current plymouth sources can be found here: http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=plymouth;a=summary . There are plymouth packages in rawhide already, but they are not useful for trying it out until the necessary mkinitrd changes land.
The new startup sequence (including quiet kernel, quiet grub, plymouth, smooth transition to the login screen) has been demonstrated at the Red Hat Summit and will also be shown at FUDcon.
Usage cases/rationale
Requires changes to grub, mkinitrd, initscripts, gdm, X, possibly other packages. rhgb will be replaced by Plymouth. The extent of this project is getting a graphical boot sequence that is polished and professional looking.
Boot up could be made faster, too, but that issue is orthogonal and should be tracked separately .
Test Plan
- Verify that boot without rhgb in the kernel cmdline gives a traditional text mode boot sequence
- Verify that failure to set a mode in initrd falls back to a traditional text mode boot sequence
- Verify that the graphical boot sequence contains only a single mode switch from blank text mode
to graphical mode, and that there is a smooth transition from the startup animation to the login screen
- Verify that entering encryption passwords works both in the graphical case and in the fallback case
- Verify that specifying a mode in the kernel commandline works
- Verify that failure messages from service startup can inspected after boot
- Verify that dropping to a shell on critical errors works
This feature depends on plymouth getting into F10. It also depends on a ton of other things...
For a smooth and shiny experience, we want
- the mode should be changed early from text mode to the most optimal graphics mode available
- the mode should not be changed more than once
- there should be no other uncontrolled transitions
- there should be no text messages, unless the user presses Escape to see them
- there should be good, smooth transitions
The fallback if mode-setting is present in the initrd but fails, is a standard 1024x786 mode. The fallback if mode-setting is not in the initrd is text mode.
Timeline of the current bootup
|grub info
|kernel boot
|initrd drivers
|text login
|gnome startup
|user session
Plan for improving this
- do away with mode switch for grub menu by default (ie, don't show the image unless "needed")
- make kernel, nash and init obey the quiet option
- switch to graphical mode in the initrd, draw an animation and keep it running until gdm starts up
- rhgb goes away
- make the X server started by gdm take over the existing vt, mode and framebuffer content
- improve the transitions animation -> gdm -> session
- firstboot runs on the gdm X server
This lets us start with a blank screen in text mode, then a single switch to graphics mode, then an animation, then the login screen fades in.
|kernel boot
|initrd drivers
|gnome startup
|user session
One complication is support for encrypted disks. This may require us to ask for a password in the initrd, before we have X or toolkits. The proposal for acceptable input-handling (at least as far as keyboard layouts are concerned) is to write an xkb-to-console-converter.
- Make grub not display a splash image unless the user enters the menu. It has been pointed out that a timeout of 0 is not ideal for this, the current timeout value of 3 may be just fine.
- Make grub not report which choice was selected if the user didn't pick a choice #239760
- Make drm drivers/mode-setting happen in the upstream kernel (see http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0705.2/0893.html)
- Put drm drivers in the initrd
- If rhgb is in the kernel commandline, switch mode in initrd, use drmfb on vt7
- Put animation drawing app in the initrd, keep initrd mounted until that app exits
- For selecting the mode, make s-c-d set a kernel commandline like rhgb=1600x1200
- Open question: what about multihead ? answer for now: clone mode
- Display animation all the way from initrd until gdm comes up, keep initrd mounted until it exits
- Redirect init output early on to a pseudo-terminal
- Have something that buffers the output, can buffer it on the initrd
- If something happens that drops us to a shell (filesystem errors), hook up a framebuffer console with
the pseudo-terminal
- If there are warnings in the saved bootup messages, show a "Show boot messages" button on the login
screen and/or in the notification area
- Need to start X on the existing vt, not set mode (unless we are still in text mode), preserve existing
framebuffer content
- Coordinate session startup. fade in ? might be able to do something nice if we have compositing
Contingency Plan
If things don't work out as expected, we can bring back rhgb from the dead.
Release Notes
- LuyaTshimbalanga: What happened to early-login project?
- "Ray Strode: early-login was ditched a while ago, though, Jon Nettleton recently started something similiar. See fedora-desktop-list"
- MartinJürgens: The shutdown experience should also be nice and shiny. Would be nice if this spec would include that.
- "Ray Strode: potentially, although I'd like shutdown to just be 'kill all processes that have open files' and cut power"
- MikePetullo: There is an effort to bring encrypted root filesystems to Fedora. One of the weaknesses of our work so far is that we can't provide an internationalized encryption key prompt very early in the boot process (i.e., in the initrd). Could this better startup feature allow us to do this?
- "Ray Strode: Given that encrypted block devices are slated for F9, i think we have to bring this into account. I talked to Jeremy Katz about this last week some. The answer to the i18n problem, may be to use icons instead of text. We could potentially have text, but it means bringing in my libraries, potentially translations, etc"

Area of Walker car crash known for street racing
LOS ANGELES — Police say the area where "Fast & Furious" star Paul Walker died in a car crash is known to attract street racers.
Walker and his friend and financial adviser Roger Rodas died in the one-car crash Saturday in the Southern California community of Valencia.
The street where the crash happened forms a loop amid commercial buildings that is isolated from traffic, especially on weekends.
California Highway Patrol Sgt. Rick Miler calls the neighborhood "a hot spot for street racers."
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is still investigating, but already has said speed was a factor.
Walker's publicist said the action star was Rodas' passenger.
Fans of Walker continued to gather Monday at the site about 30 miles northwest of Los Angeles, leaving flowers and memorabilia from the movie franchise about fast cars that made him famous.

Oliver and Max and Meeko man, i will meet you at the Rainbow bridge. I love you all. Miss you more then you'll ever know.
wait for me...
Yeah because I have kids stuffed animals have never been a doggie toy in my house but Fletcher has killed one or two. Be careful they make stuff less animals Fletcher likes those.
"Please will someone get me out of here, pronto.
Here am I, an innocent young tricolour and there, right next to Mum's bed,
and just by where I rest my weary head, I found it. IT, was a lovely
little stuffed lamb. Couldn't believe my luck when I saw it, thought that
some divine power had sent it as a special Christmas gift, knowing that I
had run short of toys to destuff. It was just sitting there waiting for
me to find it and I was so happy.
I jumped up to my side of the big bed - very carefully so that I wouldn't
mess up Mum's nice smooth bed. I had a good sniff at the lamb, just to
make sure it wasn't still alive. It was definitely cold and not breathing
- great for carrying, chewing and sucking on - 'later I will get the
stuffing out', so I took it gently in my mouth and walked onto the landing
with it.
I sat on the carpet at the top of my stairs to admire my find and saw Mum
and Rebel coming up towards me. I wagged my tail to say how pleased I was
to have this delectable little present, which was when all hell broke
'WHAT HAVE YOU GOT' - 'Can't I leave ANYTHING where you can't get it?'
'It's MINE, not YOURS and it's going back where I put it.' 'Look what you
have started' Rebel said, fixing me with a steely glare.
The lamb was returned to the bedside table, to sit next to the fairy clock
but the worst was yet to come. Mum sat down on the bed while I sat on her
lap. I thought she was going to apologise for the confusion and for
shouting at me like that. WRONG, BIG TIME.
'I do love you very much' she said 'but I don't think I can trust you near
my pretty Mumsie things any more - perhaps you should sleep downstairs
WITH THE BOYS?' Oh my dawg, not with THEM - NO WAY - NO HOW. I can't do
this thing. They SNORE. It's just like hearing trains thundering by at
the station. They argue a lot too and Winston spends the other half of
the night plotting mischief with Little Joe.
I CANNOT DO THIS, I am a sensitive young lady, grossly misunderstood.
There's nothing else for it - I must get out of here before tonight -
otherwise I will have to go in THERE, with THEM. Na na, noooooooooooooooo
no no, definitely not. Auntie Viv, please help me. I want OUT and NOW.

Funny you wrote this. Poor Rupert is no longer (sorry Nikki but Rupert brought me Elton). I had a stuffed Rupert and when Ella died, I slept with him every night. I brought him to Atlanta when I stayed at a friends house for an Atlanta show.
Elton, who was a foster at the time, took to me and would follow me around and slept with me. I thought it was destiny. I learned it was Rupert he was I'm love with. I know they are not meant for animals but he LOVES his Rupert. Now his head is gone, legs, and is just a piece of him left. Poor Rupert...

Its Web site buries the blow-by-blow of major layoffs at the Times-Picayune while showcasing a feel-good video from the papers editor. Tues., June 12, 2012.
By Rem Rieder Rem Rieder (email@example.com) is AJR's editor and senior vice president.
To minimize the damage to New Orleans of Newhouse's plan to convert the Times-Picayune into a three times a week newspaper, it's critical that the company's NOLA.com be a robust, highly informative Web site, shining a bright light on the important news of the day.
The way it treated today's bloodletting at the paper was not encouraging.
At 3:15 p.m., the third most prominent news item on the site was a video in which Times-Picayune Editor Jim Amoss discussed the company's plans for the future. There wasn't any news there. Amoss simply revisited the May 24 announcement that the Newhouse operation would become digital-first, reducing the print publication schedule and cutting the staff.
He did so in a very reassuring manner, accentuating the positive, such as it is.
But what about all of the layoffs that were being carried out today inside Times-Picayune headquarters? That's what New Orleanians wanted to read about. How sharp were the cuts? Who were the casualties?
This is a city with a particularly close relationship to its newspaper, as the paper's impressive penetration numbers and the protests that have greeted the new Times-Pic game plan make eminently clear. Surely, if the company felt the need to once again justify its new approach way above the digital fold, the report on actual news from the front would come next, right?
Batting fourth: "Man fatally shot in Gentilly Monday is identified." Then came the news that Ann Rutherford, who played Scarlett O'Hara's sister in "Gone with the Wind," had died at 94, followed by the latest on the Eric Holder and Jerry Sandusky sagas; "'American Idol' sets New Orleans auditions for July 17; "Federal judge seeks records related to Danziger Bridge leaks probe."
Well, we're getting pretty low, but surely now the latest on the cuts?
Not so fast.
Next, a couple of side-by-side ads, one a house ad, and to the right the ever-popular photo of the day, a PG shot of the World Naked Bike Ride.
Next up: "Firefighters report progress on Colorado, New Mexico wildfires."
Finally, the 11th top story on NOLA.com: "Times-Picayune lays off nearly one-third of its staff."
Among the casualties: award-winning restaurant critic Brett Anderson, in a town that worships its food as much as it worships its music. Others going away include Managing Editors Peter Kovacs and Dan Shea, sports columnist Peter Finney and religion writer Bruce Nolan.
One of the true tests of any news organizations is how well it covers itself. It's a test many frequently flunk. But here was a golden opportunity for the embattled Times-Picayune to step up, to emphasize its commitment to transparency by giving prominent treatment to an uncomfortable story.
Instead, it pushed it well down the homepage.

Algonquin BridgeEdit
[1]The Algonquin Bridge.Added by ZSThe Algonquin Bridge is a major river crossing in Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto IV. It is based on the Manhattan Bridge suspension bridge in New York City, with noticeable omissions of the arches between the two halves of each tower on the bridge. Its location more closely approximates the Queensboro (59th Street) Bridge.
[[[]]hide]*1 Location
Location [2]EditEdit
The Algonquin Bridge crosses the Humboldt River between Downtown Broker and Lancet, Algonquin. It passes over Colony Island and the Algonquin end of the Bridge is directly next to the CC Building. The Colony Island tramway runs directly to the south of the bridge, terminating on Colony Island. The bridge is north of the Broker Bridge and south of Charge Island and the East Borough Bridge.
Traffic [3]EditEdit
The Algonquin Bridge carries four lanes of heavy traffic on two sections of road, the northern-most road carrying traffic to Algonquin, the southern-most road carrying traffic from Algonquin. The Algonquin Bridge connects to Kunzite Street on the Algonquin side, and onto the Algonquin-Dukes Expressway on the Broker side of the river. Beneath these two roadways of traffic are four subway tracks, the 3/8 Broker Line which connects to the A/J Algonquin Outer Line. There are also three pedestrian walkways, two side walkways on the north and south edges of the bridge and a central walkway in the middle.
Due to hardware limitations, the GTA Chinatown renditions restricts the bridge's traffic to road vehicles only.
Trivia [4]EditEdit
- While the GTA IV rendition of the bridge features only two suspension towers, the GTA Chinatown Wars features four.
- Cars somehow tend to "evade" oncoming trains from below by swerving to other lanes. Notably the ones going to Algonquin near the second suspension tower.
- Found on the bridge, (on the side which traffic will be travelling towards Broker), is a Flying Rat which is on the right side of the lane near the entrance to Broker.

Current Areas of Research
Dr. Parsons' general research interests are health behaviors (e.g., HIV prevention, HIV medication adherence, sexual behavior, substance use/abuse); GLBTQ issues; interventions designed to change sexual/drug using behaviors among various populations; club drug use (ecstasy, cocaine, methamphetamine. He is the Director of the Hunter College Center for HIV/AIDS Educational Studies and Training (CHEST). All CHEST projects are based on theories of health behavior change and are designed to reduce the spread of HIV and/or to improve the lives of persons with HIV. CHEST's research is conducted off-site at our research center located at 142 West 36th Street.
Active Research Projects
CHEST is currently engaged in a variety of research projects that are at different stages of the research process—some are just beginning to recruit and enroll participants while other projects have completed datasets that are undergoing analyses. For additional information about active projects, see our website: http://chestnyc.org/research-active.html.· For information about becoming an intern or a volunteer, see our website for more details: http://chestnyc.org/about-internships.html.
- One Thousand Strong – We are conducting a nationwide study of 1000 gay men to better understand resilience. So many HIV-focused research projects with gay men focus on all the "problems" – drug use, depression, violence, etc. We want to understand the factors that make the vast majority of gay men capable of engaging in healthy sexual behaviors and living satisfying lives. We are enrolling men online, and will follow them longitudinally for three years.
- T-Talk – Epidemiological data show that transgender women are at significant risk for HIV infection. Yet, there are currently no CDC-approved "best evidence interventions" to reduce HIV risk for transgender women. This study will be the first in NYC to formally evaluate the utility of a scalable peer-delivered intervention aimed at reducing HIV-related sexual risk behaviors and substance use among transgender women. The Girlfriends intervention utilizes motivational interviewing (MI) and cognitive behavioral skills training (CBST) techniques and builds on a successful CDC-funded pilot peer-led group intervention that was designed by Dr. Parsons and his team for transgender women.
- Wellness in Spirituality and Education (WISE) – WISE is an intervention designed to help HIV+ men and women ages 50 and over improve their adherence to HIV medications. WISE is an intervention in which participants will meet one-on-one with a staff member to focus on improving medication adherence, while also considering options for reducing or quitting alcohol and/or drug use and other associated risk behaviors. The primary goal of the project is to test a 12 session intervention that aims to reduce alcohol and drug use and improve HIV self-care among older adults with HIV. A sample of 180 participants will be randomly assigned to one of three study arms. Participants complete two baseline assessments and follow-up assessments at 3 and 6-months with 50 participants also completing a 10-month follow-up.
- Positive Living through Understanding and Support (PLUS) – PLUS is an effectiveness trial where we are testing to see if an intervention we developed to for HIV+ men and women to reduce their alcohol use and improve their HIV medication adherence works in real-world settings – specifically clinics in NYC. We are working with clinics, to train their staff in the delivery of the intervention. We will also be analyzing electronic medical records of clinic participants to assess effects of the intervention.
- The Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity (MITI) Coding Project - CHEST has been subcontracted with several universities and organizations to supervise and give feedback on their intervention counseling sessions that are based in the principles of Motivational Interviewing. To provide the most efficient feedback, videos of treatment sessions are coded using the Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity (MITI) Scale, a brief measure of treatment integrity that focuses specifically on therapist behavior rather than the therapeutic process. To be trained in MITI coding, interns must commit to at least two semesters at CHEST due to length of training, meetings and coding of tapes. This is ideally suited for those students interested in pursuing graduate work in clinical or counseling psychology.
Completed Research Projects with Ongoing Data Analyses
- Pillow Talk – This longitudinal study examines the link between sexual compulsivity (SC) and risky sexual behavior in a sample of 400 sexually active gay and bisexual men recruited in NYC. Assessments include a 30-day daily diary of mood, sexual behavior, and substance use, as well as neurocognitive testing and qualitative and quantitative interviews. Utilizing a multi-methods research approach, the primary aim of the study is to identify predictors of HIV-related risk behavior and risk-reduction practices that may distinguish highly sexually active gay and bisexual men who exhibit symptoms of SC and those who do not in order to inform the development of appropriate HIV prevention interventions for both groups of men.
- Young Men's Health Project (YMHP) - The primary aim of the project was to test a brief four-session risk reduction intervention, based on Motivational Interviewing for the co-occurrence of club drug use [i.e., cocaine, LSD, GHB, ketamine ("K"), MDMA ("Ecstasy"), and methamphetamine ("Crystal")] and sexual risk taking behaviors among non-treatment seeking young men who have sex with men (YMSM) in NYC. A sample of 300 YMSM (ages 18-29) who report risky sex and club drug use in the past 90 days were randomly assigned to one of two study arms and completed a baseline assessment and follow-up assessments at 3, 6, 9, and 12-months in order to assess short-term and longer-term effects. Data analyses are ongoing.
- Project Rx – This study is designed to understand non‐medical prescription drug use among young adults in NYC. This project has 2 key phases. During Phase 1 of the project, the ethnographic field team has immersed itself in various bars, nightclubs, and other key venues in order to understand how various subcultures shape the use of prescription drugs by young adults. Phase 2 involves individual interviews and surveys with 400 young adults to better understand patterns and trajectories of prescription drug use and to gain an understanding of the role of social context in these patterns.
- Drinking and Sexual Health (DASH) – This study is designed to test an integrated theoretical model of the association between alcohol consumption and sexual risk behavior among 300 young adults. This model posits that one's conflicting feelings about sexual behavior, coupled with sexual expectancies related to alcohol use, interact to influence sexual behavior that occurs under the influence of alcohol. The results of this study will have direct implications for intervention development at the individual, social, and contextual levels.
- The COUPLES, Dads, and Dads2B Projects – The COUPLES project is an online research study of male same-sex couples. We are seeking to learn more about men in same-sex romantic relationships, their sex lives and substance use. The Dads Project is for gay and bisexual fathers living in the NYC area.· Finally, the Dads2B project is for gay and bisexual men living in the NYC area who are currently pursuing fatherhood via surrogacy or adoption.
Student Opportunities
Students work with us in a variety of capacities - as volunteers, for Independent Study or Independent Research credit, for Work Study, or to gain access to data for Honors Theses or Masters Theses.
Essental and Desirable Background Knowledge and Skills
Required skills vary depending on the project. Overall, however, what is listed below is a good general background.
Reliability, ability to work independently, comfort with ethnically diverse persons, gay/bisexual/transgendered persons, and with sexually explicit language used in our surveys and interviews.
Statistics, typing, English comprehension and writing
Expected Responsibilities
All new interns are expected to attend an orientation seminar in the beginning of the semester and a research seminar near the end of the semester. Specific responsibilities will vary depending on the project. However, students may be involved in the following:
Recruitment of potential participants through field-based work
Data entry
Transcription of qualitative interviews
Coding of qualitative data.
Expected Benefits
Students will be trained in basic information about HIV, sexual risk behaviors, and substance use. Students will have the opportunity to learn about all phases of community-based research, including recruitment, screening, enrollment, and data collection/ analyses. Students will work with the faculty member, as well as other staff with varied backgrounds (clinical psych, social psych, developmental psych, sociology, public health). Advanced students will have the opportunity to be involved in writing of journal articles and presentations at conferences.

Ricardo Vaz Tê praised West Ham United's spirit after his late strike at Wembley sealed an immediate return to the Premier League and an estimated £90m windfall, as they beat Blackpool 2-1 in a dramatic Championship play-off final.
The club were relegated under Avram Grant a year ago but Sam Allardyce had promised to lead his side back to the top flight at the first time of asking after becoming the Israeli's successor. His side did not disappoint, with the Portuguese striker's goal three minutes from the end sinking Blackpool and making West Ham the first team since Leicester in 1996 to bounce straight back through the play-offs.
"It was a great effort from the lads," said Vaz Tê, who joined West Ham from Barnsley in January. "It's not about the goal, we showed great character. I think we deserved it. We're a Premier League side and we deserved to go up.
"I feel like I have been blessed with a second chance in my career and it's great to be here. It is another step, a big challenge. We must get there with the mentality that we're a Premier League side and not there to fight for relegation."
Carlton Cole opened the scoring for West Ham in the 35th minute, smashing home Matt Taylor's cross from inside the six-yard box, before Thomas Ince levelled three minutes after the break. The game looked to be heading to extra time until Vaz Tê fired in from close range after a goalmouth scramble.
Allardyce was sacked in December 2010 from his previous job at Blackburn, who have just been relegated under his successor, Steve Kean. The West Ham manager said that promotion meant everything to him. "We managed to swing it, just. It's 49 games and it's the first one we've won in the last few minutes this season. It's everything to me. It was difficult at the start to turn the club around with the relegation problem but we came good at the end."
The West Ham captain, Kevin Nolan, who sported a T-shirt declaring "nothing beats being back" as he lifted the trophy, believes the side's young players will light up the Premier League next season. "I'm delighted," he said. "It's been special. Jack Collison and those boys are going to bless the Premier League.
"We were favourites from day one. We said we wanted to win the league and go up automatically. This was plan B. Thankfully we did it and I think we deserved it. It was a lot of relief more than anything."
Ian Holloway, the Blackpool manager, was left to rue missed chances after his side fell at the final hurdle. "We've got to bounce ourselves straight back. But they should be very proud of their efforts, this is a fantastic group of people and I'm proud to be a small part of it."

My second cousin Evelyn has seen a lot in her 95 years and one shocking day 8 decades ago still replays vividly in her mind.
Back in 1933 When she was in 7th grade, Evelyn was walking to school on a country road and that's when she saw a car whiz by. Windows were down something was being thrown out of the car. Nails and tacks were left in the wake of the speeding car, to ensure police trying to catch them would get a flat tire.
News of the robbery and getaway traveled quickly through the southwestern Minnesota community of Okabena. Further investigation revealed the robbers to be Bonnie & Clyde and the Barrow Gang who pocketed $1,500. Despite locals exchanging fire, no one was hurt.
I can relay more of her story, but better yet hear Evelyn tell it to you in less than 2 minutes.
The getaway car(s) were driving south and would soon approach a T intersection. The question I have is which way did they turn; east through Minnesota, or west toward South Dakota on old highway 16, which would have joined what is now East Madison in Sioux Falls?

Love is in the air this season! Celebrities like Ashlee Simpson, Mila Kunis, and Jenny McCarthy have recently announced that they are tying the knot! We all know that springtime is the season for weddings! And with summer quickly following, we can't help but think of all the romantic honeymoons being planned! If you're a bride-to-be, you not only want to look amazing on your big day, but you want to look even better afterwards- for your honeymoon, of course! We have the sexiest designer swimwear suits that will have your new hubby will go crazy about!
On April 16, 2014 Jenny McCarthy just announced her proposal to New Kids on the Block's Donnie Wahlberg. Talk about a match made in heaven! Jenny, The View Host, has been spotted in Miami Beach rockin' a super cute white bikini. Her sun-kissed skin against the white hue looked completely flawless. Our Call Me Maybe Suit has the same side hip ties as the bikini Jenny was spotted in, which add a girly flare. This is a must-have luxury swimwear suit for your honeymoon getaway!
At the end of March, Ashlee Simpson and fiancée, Evan Ross celebrated an intimate engagement party with friends and family. Ashlee Simpson has already walked down the aisle once before with Pete Wentz and the two currently share custody of a 5 year old son. Ashlee has been spotted on at Malibu Beach spending time relaxing with her son. As a mother, her beach look was cool and breezy as she wore a neutral colored maxi dress. For the brides that are more reserved, we have the perfect Irresistible Tunic beach cover up. It is a blue and white snake skin print with a low-cut neckline. This sexy appeal is the right amount of coverage while still giving a little to the imagination!
That 70's Show co-stars, Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are definitely a couple everyone was rooting for. They announced their engagement at the end of February as Mila spent the day in Los Angeles sporting a huge diamond ring on her engagement finger! Mila is a guy's girl with her sexy but classy appeal. Mila definitely knows how to rock a bikini and I have no doubt she would look amazing in our Summer Siren white bikini. The solid white is paired with teal embellishments on the hips and neck straps which add a tasteful pop of color. We can't wait to see this starlet walk down the aisle in white!

|A treasure trove of used bikes at the Phoenix Bike Co-op in Arlington, Va. Credit: Phoenix Bikes.
Now that we've got our out there, we've been getting lots of mail requesting advice on bike purchases. I'm always reluctant to get overly specific with bike-buying advice, because bikes preferences are so subjective. In fact, that's one of the things I love about bikes -- there are so many options.
Here's something that may be surprising: When I respond to these emails (I can't help myself, I love talkin' bikes), I rarely recommend any of the bikes featured on our blog. The fact is, there are so many used bike bargains out there. Imagine, for a moment, that you're in the market for a car, you respond to an ad on the cars/trucks section of craigslist, and you have the following conversation with the owner after checking out the car:
Buyer: Wow, your car seems to be in mint condition. It looks like it's never seen the outside of your garage!
Seller: Actually it's been out a few times, but only for short drives around the block. But then I got busy with ping pong and other hobbies and lost interest in driving, so it's been sitting in my garage ever since. At this point, I just want it out of here. How does $50 sound?
Buyer: I'll take it!
A very improbable scenario for a car purchase, yet in the world of used bicycles, this conversation happens all the time. I know, because I've been the buyer in that scenario way too many times.
Because these bargains are out there, I often ask people who are in the market for a new bike whether they would consider getting a used one. Here's a recent email exchange I had with Eric from Indianapolis. He's given permission to share, and maybe you'd like to chime in with your own wisdom in the comments.
I stumbled across your blog yesterday and have found it very useful and interesting! I could use some help in putting a bike project into action. I have a basic understanding of bike styles but am a little foggy on which direction to go. Here's what I'm after; a commuter bike that will be mostly on pavement, but could go off road on grass, dirt, or possibly even easy trail, something I would have to be afraid of being a little aggressive with. Here's a few parameters...
*My commute to work is 18-20 miles one way
*I want the bike to be as simple as possible in form and function
*The least amount of gears to handle a few moderate hills
*Able to be aggressive (mildly... no drops or jumping of logs!) off the pavement, as in cyclocross?
*Trying to avoid a suspension fork
*29's or 700c?
*Able to bear some weight, ie light touring
*I love flat black or gray! I would love to customize it as much as possible
*I have about $700 on the top end to put towards it, so I'm a little limited
So, If you think you could offer some pointers or stere me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate your advice!
Kind Regards,
Eric in Indiana
Hi Eric,
Thanks for following our blog!
There are so many directions you could go based on your criteria. The first thing I would need to know is whether you are willing to consider a used bike. If so, you have many more options and your $700 will go a long, long way. For example, and this is just an example, you could get a rigid steel mountain bike from the '80s or '90s like a Stumpjumper or a Bridgestone MB-1. You could put on 26 x 1.50 slicks and it would make an excellent commuter.
Other questions:
What's your handlebar preference? Do you like drops, riser bars, flat bars? Do you want to ride upright or a bit lower?
How fast do you want to go? 18-20 miles is a lot of ground to cover; a sport tourer might be an option for you to consider.
Are you planning to ride in all types of weather?
How "moderate" are those hills? (I know Indiana is mostly flat, but I recall a few immoderate hills in places like Brown Co.)
Are you going to carry stuff on your bike? How much stuff?
I realize I haven't give you any answers, but I hope this helps you narrow in a bit more.
Hey freewheel,
Thanks for the reply! I was hoping we could get a conversation going about this. I open to any option.. whatever will get me the best bike for the most efficient use of my limited cash! I am sure open to a used frame/fork and put a little more money into better components. I looked up the Bridgestone MB-1... that looks great. Now if I can just find one around here reasonably.
I'm thinking riding somewhere between low to upright, but closer to low. I've had drop bars on a bianchi road bike I had recently and I really enjoyed it, though for this one, I'm thinking more upright, but not cruiser up right. Does that make sense? I want to be comfortable but efficient. I'm leaning toward a flat or riser bar. Open to suggestions
As for the hills, I'm in Indianapolis. The hills that I would ride through are not to the level of Brown Co. hills, but a gear or two would be nice! I've been looking at single speeds a lot and I really like the simplicity of it, but I think a 3-5 gears would be prudent.
I'll cary some stuff. I'm a firefighter so when I go to work, it's for 24hrs. I can fit more overnight stuff in a back pack easily enough. I doubt I could fit my turn-out gear in any bag though! Luckily, I don't often have to transport that. I see a rack on the back and that's probably all I'd need. I'm thinking I'd put a milk crate on the rack to put the back pack or a water proof bag in, in case I don't feel like wearing the backpack, or to put a couple bags of groceries in.
Thanks again and talk to you later,
I just found a bridgestone mb5 for $100....good bad or ugly?
Now I'm getting a clearer picture. You want to carry stuff, and you're going 18-20 miles. Based on that, I'd recommend a bike with a rear rack, and maybe a front rack as well. So you'll want to look for a bike that has braze-ons for the rack, or one that already comes with the rack attached (but avoid rear racks that attach to the seatpost). There should also be eyelets in the fork and in the rear for attaching a rack. In fact, the best set-up would be double eyelets front and back -- then you could run fenders and racks.
If it were me, I would invest in waterproof panniers and attach them to the rack. I wouldn't want to ride 18-20 miles carrying stuff on my back. That takes some of the enjoyment out of the ride. Here's a recent post by Tom called Bags for Bikes.
Also, I recommend investing in some lights so that you're visible in Indy traffic.
OK, so if you're looking for a bike that will take fenders and racks, or will come already set-up that way, that should eliminate quite a few bikes right there. A carbon fiber racing bike is lightweight and designed to go fast, but most of them are expensive, won't take fenders, won't allow for fatter, cushier tires, and aren't designed to carry stuff.
There are a lot of older steel road bikes that would work, but again, make sure you can attach a rack. Some of the so-called "entry-level steel bikes of the 70s and 80s don't even have pegs for a water bottle, which is another thing you'll want to carry along on your 18-20 mile commute.
Here's our post on buying a used bike, which was really just an excuse to re-publish Gene Portuesi's excellent article on the subject.
An MB-5 or something like it might work - I can't remember the details of an MB-5 but I'm pretty sure it will take a rack. You can replace the handlebars with whatever you want, including drops. There's some work involved, because you will need to recable the bike once you have the new handlebars in the position you want them.
One final piece of advice - test ride whatever you're thinking of buying and make sure it fits you well. There are a lot of bikes that will work for what you want to do, but a poor-fitting one will take the enjoyment out of riding.
Hope this helps. Let me know what you end up with!
p.s. if you're OK with it, I could put our discussion up on the blog and you'll get a whole lot of free advice in the comments!
Great! Thanks, and please do put it up. I'm sponging up info! Eric
OK, now it's your turn. What would you recommend for Eric?

Walt Disney Co. is implementing a new policy to use less paper from environmentally threatened areas, a year after it was targeted by environmental protesters.
In May of 2011, activists from the Rainforest Action Network hung a banner outside Disney's Burbank headquarters charging the entertainment giant with "destroying Indonesia's rainforests."
At the time, Disney called the protest a "publicity stunt" and said it had already made a commitment to "sustainable paper" in a 2010 corporate citizenship report.
However, the company started talks with the Rainforest Action Network and, on Thursday, unveiled a new paper policy. The company promised to eliminate the use of paper products from "irresponsibly harvested fiber," much of which is in Indonesia, as well as to minimize the overall use of paper and to maximize its recycled content and fiber sourced from operations certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.

Student Services | News
Mohave Community College is streamlining its student verification process with software from Regent Education. The Arizona institution serves more than 13,000 students a year at four campuses and online.
With Regent Review, Mohave is automating the collection of student verification documents, C-code processing, task assignments and workflows. Students and staff receive real-time notifications throughout the process, such as acknowledgement of receipt of documents and updates on the progression of verification. The automation allows Mohave's student services staff to focus on advising, personal outreach and increased "touch time" for students.
"Verification is one of the most costly tasks we perform in the administration of Title IV financial aid," said Ana Masterson, dean of student services for Mohave, in a press release. "With Regent Review we will be able to streamline the process for students, reduce processing costs and implement additional compliance controls."
Regent Review's compliance-oriented features include:
"With Regent Review we will have one system for processing, customer service inquiries and a single source for retaining information for compliance and auditing purposes," said Shannon Sheaff, director of financial aid for Mohave, in a prepared statement. "Regent Review pre-populates information for students to make the process simple, and prevents frustrating and time-consuming conflicting information errors. The increased regulatory compliance and the annual policy changes have made verification increasingly challenging. We wanted to be sure we had a process that ensures compliance while also driving our customer service initiatives."

|Neurologic recovery after treatment for latent Syphilis
Aug 6, 2013
My partner is about to be treated for latent secondary stage syphilis. He is 54, his HIV levels are zero/t-cells are 800-1,000. Within the last 18 months he has been experiencing more frequent moments of forgetfulness -short, middle and long term, Confusion under even low to mild stress, and cognitive problems with adding columns/reading a calendar. After a second neurological testing exam from his high scoring base line, he was one point from cognitive impairment. A follow up blood scan now is indicative of latent syphilis. Our question is how much neurological recovery is possible/likely with successful treatment of the syphilis infection
Response from Dr. Young
Hello and thanks for posting. Sorry for the late reply.
Your question poses a number of interesting aspects. First, cognitive impairment (both symptomatic and asymptomatic) is disturbingly common among people living with HIV. There are multiple causes and a lot of controversy about how to best manage screening and treatment of this condition. myHIVclinic.org has a review of current medical thoughts about cognitive problems.
Regarding syphilis, one has to know if your partner has neurosyphilis before opining about whether treatment will help. A spinal tap (lumbar puncture) is required to look for evidence of syphilis in the spinal fluid to determine if this is a problem or not. If he does indeed have neurosyphilis, the recommended treatment is IV penicillin; and I'd expect some degree of cognitive improvement after treatment. If he doesn't have neurosyphilis, then there's no reason to think that penicillin will improve cognition.
If syphilis isn't the explanation (or perhaps even if it is), a comprehensive look for other causes of mentation would be warranted. Looking for HIV in the spinal fluid, and if detected, examination for drug resistance is reasonable. Some experts also advocate switching to HIV medications that penetrate into the spinal fluid.
I hope that's helpful and wish your partner well. BY

Photos taken out and about buy the public
THERE has been an eighteen-fold increase in north-east Atlantic commercial stocks now fished at sustainable levels compared to 12 years ago, new scientific data has revealed.
The EU figures show that 36 stocks are now fished at maximum sustainable yield (MSY) levels – a key indicator of the sustainability of a particular fishery. This is compared to 27 fisheries at MSY in 2014 and just two in 2003.
THE National Fish & Chip Awards 2016, organised by SEAFISH, were launched today, marking the start of the nine-month trawl of the UK's best chippies.
Now in their 28th year, the awards are recognised as one of the most prominent and respected seafood industry events in the UK, aptly known as the frying Oscars.
Celebrating the great British tradition of fish and chips, they showcase the best talent, quality and choice offered by fish and chip businesses across the UK.
The Northern regional heat of the 19th UK Young Seafood Chef of the Year took place on Friday 6th March 2015, with student chefs from across Scotland and northern England taking part.
The opening heat of the 2015 competition was held at New Lanarkshire College, Motherwell, Scotland. Each team of two young chefs had to prepare and present three appetising dishes comprising a starter course using salmon and/or haddock fillets, an intermediate course using whole sea bass and/or mackerel and a main course using cod and/or pollack fillets.
A TWITTER campaign urging consumers to be more adventurous in their fish consumption has been backed by rising culinary star John Whaite, winner of the Great British Bake Off. The campaign dubbed #CatchOfTheDay is being run by the National Federation of Fishermen's Organisation (NFFO) and aims to champion the diversity of the UK fishing fleet and encourage consumers to venture beyond the seafood staples of cod, haddock and salmon.
INERTIA in government circles means that fisheries policy on a number of key issues has stalled, according to the Executive Committee of the National Federation of Fishermen's Organisations (NFFO).
The Committee, which met recently in York, concluded that the forthcoming General Election meant that it was unlikely that progress would be made until the second half of this year.

The typical holiday shopper has rallied through six entire weekends – at least – scurrying through malls, shuffling through Christmas Village and surfing the Internet with the ultimate goal to see that smile on the faces of mothers, sisters, children and husbands.
But now there are neighbors, distant cousins and stocking stuffers to take care of.
Look no further than your backyard – or Germantown Avenue – for your last minute gift ideas.
The star-on-the-top-of-the-tree of buying in Chestnut Hill? There are plenty of unique knick-knacks from these locally owned and operated businesses. And it keeps your money local.
Local business owners have no doubts that Chestnut Hill residents have a preference for buying locally.
Buying local, from locals
Fran O'Donnell, who owns O'Doodle's Toys Unplugged at 8335 Germantown Ave., said he's lived in the neighborhood for 16 years and sees dedication in residents when it comes to buying local.
That dedication, he said, keeps the neighborhood afloat.
"If you have a healthy business district, then you're going to have a healthy neighborhood," he said. "It adds to the well-being of the district."
O'Donnell said he also thinks of customers as neighbors, and is willing to go an extra mile further than larger businesses will.
"We offer free gift wraps," he said. "And we'll even deliver [an item] to someone's house if they can't fit it in their car or something like that."
Besides extra gift services, O'Donnell said there are some items available at his store that aren't just for kids.
Namely, he said magnetized Bucky Balls "are like building blocks for adults," as well as an office toy and stress reducer. They're offered for $27.99 and could make for a good stocking stuffer for "kids" of any age.
O'Donnell also said the shop has marshmallow shooters that make for good "dad gifts" and small how-to books — teaching anything from palm reading to origami.
Further up the Hill at George Hobe's Antiques, 8407 Germantown Ave., customers are greeted with a sign in the window reading "it's all about you, shop small."
"It's an unsaid thing," he said of the value placed on buying local. "People come in a lot around this time of the year and I'll see them come back."
Hobe, who lives above his shop, has an interesting edge over other antique shops, mainly because of the unique, odd items he snags.
When it comes down to getting his products, Hobe said he looks for what he thinks are the best, most authentic items. But he does do a fair amount of business with locals.
Among the things available in his shop are various vases, miniature grandfather clocks, framed stained glass windows for hanging on walls and small hand-painted soldiers that look like they're from the movie "The Patriot."
He also has several Fiesta plates and teacups, as well as a cookie jar, which would make good gifts for admirers of the brand.
Meanwhile, at the Chestnut Hill Cheese Shop, 8509 Germantown Ave., Dan Weiss said his father, who opened the shop in 1963, placed a high value on shopping locally.
"My father always said 'if you want local stores, you'd better shop locally," Weiss said. "It's very important that people buy local."
The Chestnut Hill Cheese Shop has a few items that were made locally — such as Gilda's Biscotti, Cherchies mustard and a few cheeses from New Jersey and Lancaster County.
Weiss said the shop makes custom-made holiday baskets starting at $50. The baskets can include anything from cheese and crackers to jams and coffee.
Made in Chestnut Hill
Sure, there's buying locally in a sense that a local owns the store, but Chestnut Hill also has a few local storeowners that make their own goods.
Karen Boyd Rohde, owner of Bredenbeck's Bakery at 8126 Germantown Ave., said she thinks customers do value buying locally, and the holiday season is no different.
"There's not enough elves around here [to help during the holidays]," she said.
Regardless, Boyd Rohde said she's more than happy to help customers warm the heart of a friend or neighbor with the bakery's sugary treats.
Besides cookie trays, Boyd Rohde suggests gingerbread houses, which can be bought decorated for $53.95 or undecorated for $24.95.
She also offers a gingerbread man kit for $6.95.
"It shows the customer's creativity," she said. "It's something different and there's a lot of love going into it."
Boyd Rohde said she could ship items wherever customers need.
This will be the first Christmas on the Hill for Inside Threadwill, 8617 Germantown Ave. But co-owner Kate Newport said she's already received a flood of business and has gotten a good sense of the Chestnut Hill mindset.
"People in Chestnut Hill place a premium on quality," Newport said. "And they'd rather keep it local. We get that all the time."
Newport said she thinks customers not only take a sense of pride in their community, but also have a good story to tell when they give gifts that have been locally made.
Although Newport said the store is no longer taking custom-made orders for embroideries, there are several ready-made items.
Little mats that say "muddy paws" and "dirty shoes" sell for $64. Bags sell for $40-84 and cosmetic cases are available for $20-70.
But for the customer who wants to give a custom-embroidered item, Newport suggests buying the item and giving it with the promise of embroidering it after the holidays.
Across the street at 8620 Germantown Ave., Chestnut Hill Coffee Co. not only sells gift cards to help pay for a morning pick-me-up, but roasts a special Winter Blend coffee, priced at $12.80. Winter Blend is a mix of Hawaiian and Honduran coffees.
Lauren Harrington of Heirloom Fine American Cookery, 8705 Germantown Ave., said the restaurant, which had its soft opening on Friday, buys mostly local ingredients and products.
"We use mostly local ingredients," Harrington said, adding that most are from Lancaster County, Delaware and New Jersey. "People are subscribing to the idea of buying locally. Businesses are supporting each other."
Harrington said the restaurant brews coffee from Chestnut Hill Coffee Co. and serves bread from Baker Street Bread.
She also said that, moving forward, the restaurant is looking into using cheeses from the Cheese Shopand seasonal crops from Philadelphia and its surrounding counties.
But Harrington said her family has a tradition of giving an I.O.U. gift of going out for dinner and going to some sort of play or show. Since Heirloom doesn't yet offer gift certificates, she suggests this method.
"Some of the members from my own family would rather share an experience than an item," she said. "[It's] more than a physical object. It incorporates spending time together and getting out to do something."
Going along with the idea of giving a gift of experience, 3000 BC at 8439 Germantown Ave. makes for a good, relaxing treat. The spa is offering holiday deals of buying in bulk and receiving 15 percent off. Also, a discount series offering 10 percent off any three services is offered until January.
Last, but certainly not least, Millennium Nails and Spa at 8000 Germantown Ave., offers $40 pedicures and $15 manicures.

Rumours say Microsoft could buy EA
If this morning's news that Warner or Viacom might be interested in buying ailing publisher THQ, now rumours on the stock market are pegging EA as a potential acquisition target - from Microsoft.
According to Reuters, shares in EA jumped over than 4 per cent to $19.36 today on as the chatter spread.
"There's talk that Microsoft might be interested in acquiring Electronic Arts. It's unsubstantiated chatter, but it's out there," the wire site quotes Frederic Ruffy, options strategist at WhatsTrading.com, based in New York, as saying.
Reuters added that 'a London-based trader also cited similar talk as making rounds in Europe'.
Around a year ago speculation briefly circled that Disney was interested in buying Electronic Arts.

Hi all,
I've been programming in common-lisp for a couple of years now, and in that time I've grown somewhat frustrated with (MACROEXPAND ...) for debugging macros, because quite a lot of symbols in COMMON-LISP are macros with ugly expansions. e.g. (AND ...) and (OR ...) are changed to (IF ...) chains, (DEFUN ...) is defined in terms of a number of different sbcl internals, etc. This means that any reasonably complicated macro will expand into a lot of detail that you only need to see if you suspect that there is a bug in the macro provided by your implementation. So I decided to try and write my own version (How hard could it be?) that would special-case the COMMON-LISP macros, and call (MACROEXPAND-1 ...) only for unknown macros.
After quite a bit more effort than I expected (symbol macros interact with every form that binds variables, and I still need some kind of test suite to be sure that I've got it right for all of them) I've now got it working "good enough for me", and my next step is to figure out how to get it hooked up to C-c Ret in slime (my first attempt produced only errors).
I'm wondering whether this would be useful to others?
There are some caveats: some macros I wrote expanders for purely from my (mis?)understanding of the hyperspec (most of the condition handling stuff and PROGV spring to mind here), there may easily be some bugs in the ones that I *have* used regularly, and I've not even attempted expanders for DEFCLASS, DEFINE-COMPILER-MACRO, DEFINE-METHOD-COMBINATION, DEFINE-MODIFY-MACRO, DEFINE-SETF-EXPANDER, DEFSETF, DEFSTRUCT, DEFTYPE and (probably most important for people that choose to use it) LOOP.

University of Hawaii System Receives Recommendations on its Reorganization Plans from WASC
WASC review of UH system is first-ever visit of an accrediting organization to a university system officeUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Kristen Cabral, (808) 956-5039
Public Information Officer
HONOLULU — The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), at the request of UH President Evan S. Dobelle, conducted a special review of the University of Hawaiʻi system and the President's Office, and recently informed the university of its opinions and recommendations regarding the system reorganization and the changing of a status quo bureaucracy.
The Spring 2003 visit by a team of peer university members was suggested to WASC by Dobelle in an effort to provide a context for WASC visits to UH campuses including UH Mānoa, UH Hilo and UH West Oʻahu. A reorganization plan for the university system approved by the UH Board of Regents (BOR) in December 2002 included the creation of new system offices and a Council of Chancellors. It was designed to create a seamless university system and allow for the implementation of a strategic plan that will transform the university. It was a direction adopted by the BOR in early 2001 for whomever the new president was to be.
In its review of the system, the WASC team found promise in the reorganization model and noted that the new system-wide structures are "important new undertakings that have great potential for communication, the sharing of good practices, and policy development." It also recognized the strategic planning efforts of the university system as an effective and particularly inclusive effort of constituencies both in and outside the University.
"I requested this report to provide us with the knowledge and expertise to challenge the status quo that UH has operated under in past administrations. I greatly appreciate the recommendations of WASC through this first-ever system level review," said Dobelle. "WASC's validation of the principles behind the system reorganization provides significant outside confirmation of our efforts to reform the bureaucratic processes that have plagued the university, and move forward in developing a true system-wide organization." The review team and the WASC Commission did confirm several items of concern for which further action taken by the university was requested, though processes addressing many of the issues raised have already been put in place. Most of these were identified in the first few months of the new administration in separate reports authored by consultants Linda Campanella, Peter Goldstein and Christopher Small at Dobelle's request. In addition, the WASC report emphasized a need for further development in defining roles as well as clearer communication at the campus levels regarding new positions and policies brought on by the system reorganization.
With the BORs' recent approval of the appointments of Sam Callejo as Chief of Staff (Chief Operations Officer) and David McClain as Vice President for Academic Affairs (Chief Academic Officer), two key individuals are in place as the university moves forward in implementing the system reorganization while also addressing the WASC concerns raised. Also, a senior staff task force on reorganization implementation was convened by Interim Vice President for Academic Affairs Deane Neubauer and a report was submitted in early June with recommendations already underway. In addition to the Council of Chancellors, appropriate representatives from all campuses meet regularly as part of the Council of Chief Academic Officers and the Council of Financial Officers in an effort to improve communication and policy development in these areas.
The commission also noted a need for an improved"partnership" with the BOR in light of recent significant changes in board membership (as of July 1, 2003, only 2 of the original 12 BOR members who hired Dobelle remained on the board) to ensure the board understands the changes underway, which will be addressed through extensive orientations currently being coordinated and developed for new board members. Other concerns related to budgeting and resource allocation, though the commission did note that it recognizes financial constraints caused by the availability and allocation of resources by the State. A renewed institutional focus on budgeting and resource allocation issues has been underway over the past few months with a review of the university's financial accounting system, a system that has been in place for over 25 years and in great need of reform and replacement, just completed. With these recommendations, the WASC Commission requested a follow-up visit to be scheduled for spring 2004.

Misuse of alcohol can lead to serious consequences. Alcohol-use disorder differs from alcoholism. Alcohol-use disorder is a pattern of drinking that results in failure to meet work, home, or school responsibilities, among other things.
Alcoholism is more severe form of alcohol-use disorder. It is considered a disease with symptoms that include an extremely strong craving for alcohol, loss of control over drinking, or physical dependence.
Learn more about the effects of abusing alcohol by taking this quiz, based on information from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA).
Alcoholism is also called alcohol dependence and has symptoms that may include:
An alcoholic cannot simply use "will power" to stop drinking; his or her need for alcohol can be as great as the need for food or water. Most alcoholics need treatment and support to recover. For someone who abuses alcohol but has not become dependent, intervention and education often will be enough to stop the abuse, although sometimes professional help also is necessary.

What is your prediction?
You are here: Home ‹ Board index ‹ Movie Discussion ‹ Upcoming Movies
Which of the new movies coming up will be the most ..
Discuss other upcoming Jim Carrey movies (not confirmed/rumours).
11 posts • Page 1 of 1
Which of the new movies coming up will be the most ..
What is your prediction?
I guess Yes Man would be a HUGE hit during the summer, but now it's up against the great christmas-releases. It's still going to be huge, but a little less. (+ in most of Europe it's coming out early 2009)
I don't know what the second best hit will be ...
I wonder if A Christmas Carol will have a huge audience. Okay, it's a big animation release, but to be honest ... how many times have they filmed this tired story already? I think they will have to do a realy great job on every level to convince the most of the people, not? Ofcourse there's the important names in the cast. So I guess it will do just fine, but not huge.
As for I Heart You, Philip Morris ... I don't know. In Europe by example the movie will be released one month after 'Yes Man', that will automaticly split a part of the people that want to see a comedy. Also, I doubt if this gay-issue is going to score realy, realy big. It will all depend on how strong and what kind the humor is and how good the trailers and stuff will sell it. If this film didn't have Jim Carrey, who is still a lot more succesfull then all those others new comedians overhere, I think it wouldn't be a solid hit. But we have Jim Carrey, so ... that could change everything.
My guess,
1. Yes Man (huge)
2. A Christmas Carol (fine)
3. I Love You, Philip Morris (Okay)
As a die-hard Jim Carrey fan myself, I'm up for any movie Jim is in!
"Snakes! Why it had to be snakes?"
-Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
If you mean sucsessful as like Ace Ventura, or Bruce Almighty...
Then none.
I believe they're going to be the movies that people have heard about but didn't go and see at the movies, and they finally notice it in the video store where theres a few copies on the shelf and just decide to rent it.
That's just my opinion. I'm sorry but i'm just a little down that there have been no smash movies with Jim anymore. A lot of people around here, when I say the word Jim Carrey, they're like "Oh.. I remember him yeah, he was awesome in these old movies". I want Jim to star in a movie like the Davinci Code, or a Harry Potter movie.... one of those movies that are just..... written extremly well, and are well detaild. I would love to see him in the movie "Angels and Demons" the prequel to the Davinici code.
My point. I want Jim to win an Acadamy Award... I want him to be recognsed again by the people of the world.
Jim Carrey has had 3 huge successes in the 2000s so far. They grossed more than 1 billion total. I will say that "The Mask" is Jim's most successful movie ever.
I think "A Christmas Carol" will be a huge success worldwide. We haven't seen the art style, but it will be something like "Beowulf" and "Polar Express". There should be a good chance that it can gross between $300-400 million worldwide.
"Yes Man" is up against the comedy "Marley and Me" (Jennifer Aniston/Owen Wilson), the family movie "Bedtime Stories" (Adam Sandler), the action movie "The Spirit" (Samuel L. Jackson), the drama movies "Revolutionary Road" (Kate Winslet/Leonardo DiCaprio) and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" (Brad Pitt/Cate Blanchett) and the animation "The Tale of Despereaux".
It will be very interesting to see how this goes. I think it will do good. But lets hope they soon begins to promote it. We need the first trailer this Summer. My prediction is $200-300 million worldwide.
Still very early to say something about "I Love You Philip Morris". Great that they made a poster for the Cannes Festival. Between $150-250 million worldwide is good.
A possible "Horton Hatches the Egg" will be a huge success. $350-450 million worldwide.
Jim Carrey Movies/Series/Books in 2018:
True Crimes, I'm Dying Up Here (Season 2), The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling (documentary), Kidding (Season 1), Homey Don't Play That! (Book) and Untitled novel
Join Jim Carrey Online on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, VK and Snapchat
I think Yes man will surpass it's competition because....
1) It has a positive titile
2) Sounds light hearted (after work most people just want to be entertained)
3) Jim is usually good in whatever he does, no risk factor, he makes it good.
4) Hopefully kids can see this, generally an
underlying message, possible family movie (like Majestic/more modern)
5) People feel they get value for their $.
But it will be very close with Scrooge, very close.
Still thinking about "I love you. PM"
If Benjamin Button is a comedy(unless Jim is involved in
any advice on comedy in the movie)
Yes man will be the one who sings..
There was two in the bed and the little one said roll over and
Brad falls out of the bed,
leaving Jim with a great big bowl of icecream( or frozen yogurt, not sure which he likes best) or sherbert.
I agree with tommys post. Jim has had 3 big films this year... am I correct to say they are a series of unfortunate events, bruce almighty and horton hears a who?
Yes Man, even though it sounds like a great movie, I don't think it will do that well. As in.. yeah it's not gonna be a smash. You wont be able to say to people "hey you remember that movie yes man???" like you can do with say "bruce almighty" now.
I think the top movie out of all of them will probebly be the xmas one because yes, they are in cg, and its an xmas film.... AND it will be good for the kids. Sounds like a smash if you ask me.
All the others.. well.. Yeah on par with yes man. They will average to be pretty average I think. I'm just thinking of what other people may think, i'm sure i'll love the movies, as I have with all of Jim's ones.

Essays on the Economics of Higher Education
Tang, Hui-Hsuan
MetadataShow full item record
Tang, Hui-Hsuan
This dissertation is comprised of two essays that broadly consider the role human capital plays in the matching process between individuals and institutions and builds on prior education literature that has found growing evidence that economic choices and opportunities are inextricably linked to human capital investment. The essays in this dissertation also build on the labor-economic tradition of bringing to bear new data sources that involve both collecting new data and combining these data with previously existing data sources in new ways so as to permit the study of interesting issues that could not have been addressed in the absence of these data. Using recent institutional data from the oldest stand-alone honors college in the country, Chapter II of this dissertation studies how the application and enrollment decisions of honors college students differ from the general population of students considering a large public university. Overall, the results suggest that honors college applicants and enrollees are drawn from the right-tail of its host institution's ability distribution, independent of residency status. Nonetheless, honors college applicants are still more likely to enroll in selective and liberal arts institutions than the general pool of admits to a large public university, which is only partially offset by the effect of honors college admission. Chapter III exploits the attributes of the higher education industry to examine the role of training and ability in the placement of university presidents within the hierarchy of U.S. institutions. The empirical analysis uses two data sets, the American College President Survey conducted by the American Council on Education and a digitized sample of 2009 curriculum vitae for presidents at 212 top U.S. universities, to model the factors that determine who among the pool of university presidents place at Carnegie-classified research institutions. The findings suggest that the rise to the presidency of a research institution depends on the investments in research-specific human capital over the entire course of a career, which is consistent with prior evidence that the knowledge of the research enterprise is critical to the success of such institutions. This dissertation includes both previously published and unpublished, co-authored materials.

Today's post is by Kristine Ong Muslim, brought to you by Couplets: a multi-author poetry blog tour. It is part of Kristine's daily series during National Poetry Month on poetry she likes.
On Arlene Ang's "Living Without Water"
Arlene Ang is one of my favorite poets. She has an amazing eye for turning the most innocuous of objects to menacing things, and vice versa. That, in itself, is a unique skill. She has a remarkable sense of humor, too. Her early poems, which I've read and reread, exhibit wit, sensuality, and grace.
So, for this Couplets post, I will share with you an Arlene Ang piece. It was a toss up between another Ang poem called "Want" and "Living Without Water." I chose the latter.
Here's why:
Published in Boxcar Poetry Review, "Living Without Water" is nourishing and emotionally lacerating. Here, Ang characterizes the horror of abject poverty by pointing out the difficulty of controlling rats because "the objects we can use against them / are limited." She could have described a decrepit house or a pile of bills. Ang didn't. She deliberately decided to highlight the helplessness in the face of rats and the un-rats (if we think of the rat as a metaphor).
Note how Ang begins with an as-a-matter-of-fact declarative statement: "The kitchen is a city of tin cans." Then she talks about sauces. Then the rats. Then the (possibly illegal) activities of the mother. And finally, the mystery of a dead infant.
This piece is impressive because it has a clear narrative thread, it has a central idea, and it does a great job of implying what would have been easier to plainly describe.
There is a clear narrative thread. In short, the poem works like a story. This is why it captivates. It invokes a logical train of thought and not a simple juggling of raw ideas and situations.
There is a central idea: dark family secrets of the urban poor.
The morbidity is implied. Aside from the tragic final lines, please take a look at this section:
Girls, our mother says every day,
don't stop for me. When you reach the 7-Eleven,
go on walking. Don't look back.
The mother probably shoplifts every day from 7-Eleven or somewhere in the vicinity. It is also possible that area is her usual hustling spot. Whenever I reread this poem, it changes. I imagine a different back-story to it.
That's the charm of "Living Without Water."
