BERLIN (Reuters) - German politicians urged tough action Thursday against a surge in arson attacks on cars in Berlin, blamed by some on the far right or far left, but by the police on common criminals.
Nightly car-burnings have been going on for years in the otherwise relatively safe German capital but the number has recently surged, reaching 47 in the past three nights alone.
Mayor Klaus Wowereit said the attacks had once been politically motivated, targeting luxury cars in neighborhoods such as Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg where there are active youth scenes linked to anarchists and the far left.
"But the latest incidents are different. The fires are being lit across the area," he said.
German media have speculated the arsonists might be from the far right or left, or possibly just youths out for a thrill, raising concern that Germany might suffer violence similar to the riots seen in London and other British cities this month.
But Wowereit, who is seeking re-election in September, said the burnings had "nothing to do with" the British riots.
Already more than 130 cars have been engulfed in flames this year, similar to the annual totals since the phenomenon appeared in 2007. But Berlin police are at a loss to profile the arsonists or explain their motives.
Dieter Wiefelspuetz, member of parliament and crime expert for the center-left Social Democrats who govern Berlin, called the attacks "a precursor to terrorism." He recalled that the far-left Red Army Faction active in the 1970s and '80s began with arson and before resorting to bombings and assassinations.
RAF founder Ulrike Meinhof once said: "If one sets a car on fire, that is a criminal offence. If one sets hundreds of cars on fire, that is political action."
But the president of the German police trade union, Bernhard Witthaut, warned against reading too much into the arsonists' motives, saying this could encourage copy-cat crime.
"Anyone who talks up the arsonists as quasi terrorists is just encouraging more nights of fires and is stabbing the Berlin police in the back," he said.
Despite extra patrols and helicopter surveillance, nine vehicles were destroyed by fire in the early hours of Thursday and three damaged.
The cars appear to be chosen at random, not particularly new expensive models, in areas varying from wealthy neighborhoods like Charlottenburg in west Berlin to working-class suburbs like Neu-Hohenschoenhausen in the east.
Chancellor Angela Merkel said she believed Germany would be spared British-style riots but was "very troubled" by the arson attacks in Berlin. "What kind of behavior is this?" she asked. "People's lives are being put at risk in cold blood."
Only one person has been convicted for burning cars so far, a 43-year-old unemployed Berlin man who got a 22-month suspended jail sentence and 300 hours of community service last week for setting fire to a BMW.
A prosecutor involved in such cases, Tobias Kaehne, told Reuters that convictions for car arson were rare, partly because witnesses were hard to come by, and most cases that went to court resulted in acquittal.

Its a question I've been bugging around since many weeks but haven't found a proper answer.
So; I have a traffic monster site with few hundred pages that I occasionally change.
My current language is PHP just to keep headers, sidebar, some boxes and footer in a separate file where I occasionally make minor changes. That's the only job of PHP on my site.
The problem is my 16GB DDR3 RAM never drops below 95% usage!
I have APC installed so my server doesn't needs to render PHP on every request.
If I switch to HTML, will it give me noticeable advantage? (performance and memory consumption)
Ofcourse editing the site would a pain but I can sacrifice that for performance.
Also I'll be using a CDN soon. Does CDN pull HTML and PHP (or atleast PHP caches from APC)?
I hope someone can throw in a proper reply rather than 'I think..' versions!

8 Things Young Athletes Wish They Could Tell Parents
- I like it when you come to my games and practices but I want you to be silent most of the time.
- I often value my coach's opinion more than yours.
- I hate being late. It is important to me that I arrive at games and practices on time.
- I only want your input when I ask for it.
- It is nerve racking and distracting when you yell out instructions to me during an important moment in my game.
- Just because you played the same sport, doesn't mean your experiences are the same as mine.
- Winning isn't what I enjoy most about playing.
- Sometimes I wish you would let me be the authority, the one to teach you a skill, rule or technique.

Man at His Best
How To Drink Without Bingeing
Yes, you can keep it moderate without losing any street cred.
BY EDITORS | May 13, 2016 | Food & Drink
Heineken's recent survey done with millennials showed that over 70 percent of the respondents (aged 21 to 35) believe that moderate drinking reflects a positive image. Even so, as much as we aspire to enjoy a night out without heading into dangerously drunk territory, it's not the easiest thing to do. Here are some tips that will help you get a grip on drinking in moderation.
1 | Eat up
The most basic and welcomed tip. Everyone knows that it is a bad idea to drink on an empty stomach, but the seasoned drinkers know that it's carbohydrates that do the job. To really prep yourself for a long night out, load up on carbohydrates prior, or even enjoy snacks between drinks (nachos, fries, etc). Besides slowing alcohol absorption, the carbo load also means more energy to party the night away.
2 | Drink up
Nope, not just alcohol. We're talking about the other life-giving beverage: good ol' water. By alternating your drinks with water, you stay hydrated and suffer less from the diuretic effects of alcohol. It also helps you keep a good pace, and you can even pass it off as vodka to keep the forces of peer pressure at bay.
3 | Keep count
This one's a bit of a no-brainer. Counting the number of bottles or glasses you've had is basically reminding yourself of how much closer you're getting to your limit. Avoid top ups to your drinks, so it makes counting easier, even when you're clouded in a beer haze.
4 | Stress less
A sniff around the office will probably unfold all-permeating whiffs of burnout that they seep from other cubicles into yours. That's usually followed by, "I need a drink, man" and, before you know it, you're six pints in and feeling worse than you did before. It's common for people to use alcohol to unwind but because alcohol, itself, is a depressant, too much of it could very well worsen already bad moods. So take it easy. You'll enjoy your night out so much more.
5 | Rope in allies
Not everyone is going to understand your new found 'drink moderately' philosophy. Hell, some people are probably going to undermine it by offering you more drinks. It's important then to have family and friends who understand and can tell you when you're approaching your limit. With your homies on the same page, it's easy to achieve a great night out that you can actually remember.
Special feature by Heineken.
Share with Heineken how you would drink moderately on Instagram, simply a photo and include "#ModerateDrinkersWanted" and "#HeinekenSG" in the caption and stand a chance to be rewarded with a year's worth of cab rides. Contest ends May 25.

Mr. KIND. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the resolution.
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend the outstanding service provided by our men and women in the armed forces for the terrific job they do for us across the globe each and every day, often in very difficult and dangerous circumstances. This is especially true today in places such as Afghanistan and Iraq.
Active military, guard, and reserves forces from western Wisconsin have answered the call to service in the most recent conflict with global terrorism. I have been to numerous deployment ceremonies and witnessed the anguish in the hearts and faces of family and friends as they say goodbye to their loved ones being deployed abroad for lengthy stays. I have also been to numerous welcome home ceremonies to honor their service and to thank them for their sacrifice.
During my three visits to Iraq, I met with our military command and troops in the field, as well as numerous Iraqi leaders and civilians. I can honestly say that nothing made me prouder to be an American than seeing the performance of our troops in the field. They are well-trained, well-motivated and an inspiration to us all. They are, in short, the best America has to offer. I am sure everyone here today wishes them godspeed and safe travels as they carry out their missions.
Specifically, I would like to take a moment to recognize the soldiers from the Third Congressional District of Wisconsin who have lost their lives in the Iraq war: First Lieutenant Jeremy Wolfe of Menomonie, Major Christopher Splinter of Platteville, Private First Class Bert Hoyer of Ellsworth, Private First Class Andrew Halverson of Muscoda, Staff Sergeant Todd Olson of Loyal, Staff Sergeant Andrew Bossert of Fountain City, Specialist Charles Kaufman of Fairchild, Sergeant First Class Trevor Diesing of Plum City, Benjamin Smith of Hudson, Private First Class Anthony Gaunky of Sparta, Sergeant Andy Allen Stevens of Tomah, and Petty Officer 2nd Class Jaime S. Jaenke of Bay City. I would also like to recognize Christopher Lem of Lyndon Station who lost his life while working in Iraq as an independent contractor.
Furthermore, I would like to highlight the good work of the 128th infantry division out of western Wisconsin; the 1158th transportation company out of Tomah, Black River Falls, and Beliot; the Wisconsin Army National Guards' 229th Engineer Company out of Prairie du Chien and Platteville; the 829th Engineer Detachment out of Richland Center; the Army Reserve's 652nd Engineer Company out of Ellsworth; and the 32nd Engineer Company out of Onalaska. These units have served or are serving in Iraq, and I am extraordinarily proud of their service to our country.
But as good and capable as our troops are, it is incumbent upon us policy-makers to do everything in our power to get the policies right. We must ensure that they are fighting on our behalf for the right reasons and with the support and resources they need to do their job as safely and effectively as possible.
That's why this discussion we're having today is a disappointment. This resolution is a political document timed just before the fall elections rather than a serious substantive debate about our involvement in Iraq, Afghanistan and across the globe. Why else would the majority republican party prevent amendments from being offered or even the right of the others to offer an alternative resolution. Such an alternative resolution would more honestly focus on the shortcomings of this administration's policies, which has been highlighted by numerous retired military officers in recent months. Only through an honest assessment of those shortcomings will we have the ability to find the solutions and make adjustments to the goals being pursued.
As someone who supported the Iraq resolution in the fall of 2002, I believed it was important that we get weapons inspection teams back in Iraq to check on the status of Saddam Hussein's WMD capability. I also believed at the time that Hussein would not allow inspection teams back in unless there was a credible threat of force hanging over his head.
To this day, those who opposed the resolution have not been able to explain how they would have accomplished getting inspection teams back in Iraq or whether they viewed that as an important objective.
After we were successful in getting inspection teams back in, however, I led the effort in congress, with representative Sherrod Brown, to send the president a letter signed by 150 of our colleagues to give the inspection teams more time to do their job. At that time, we were informed in intelligence briefings that we were cooperating with those inspection teams by directing them to suspected sites of WMD. They, however, were not finding what the president suspected Hussein was hiding.
I felt increasingly uncomfortable with what I perceived to be faulty intelligence information given to us members of congress and the manipulation of intelligence to fit a preconceived ideological outcome.
Rather than have the intelligence facts shape our policy, I believe today that it was preconceived notions or ideology that distorted the intelligence to make the case for war. Even former Secretary of State Colin Powell has acknowledged his disappointment with the intelligence information he used to make the case before the United Nations. Numerous intelligence officers and State Department Officials have expressed similar reservations.
I also felt increasingly concerned about the President's haste to go to war, the lack of real effort to build international support, the lack of a plan for the day after or even a clear exit strategy once we got there. We now know by many retired generals, the president ignored the advice of our military leaders. My big regret is in believing the president when he said that the decision to go to war would be a matter of last resort. That is what the resolution required but instead the president ordered the inspection teams out of Iraq, even though they wanted to stay and finish their work, and then he ordered our military in. Today, our troops and our country are paying a very high price in loss of lives and resources due to this rush to war.
I was concerned that the main threat against the United States, Al Qaeda, was still a global threat with global reach, and that the person who was directly responsible for 9-11, Osama Bin Laden, was still at large and safe. I believed the President was taking his eye off the ball in Afghanistan and not doing everything in our power to bring those responsible for 9-11 to justice. It sends a terrible message to would-be terrorists who may be interested in striking us that all they have to do is go in hiding and lie low until we get distracted on another adventure.
Instead, the President should have, with the support of the American people and international community which we enjoyed at the time, made it our mission to never rest, never sleep until those responsible for 9-11 were brought to justice. Instead he diverted precious resources and personnel from Afghanistan and redirected them into Iraq. As a consequence, Osama Bin Laden is still at large, the Taliban are reconstituting themselves and Al Qaeda remains a global threat.
But we are where we are today. The question now is how do we move forward and what is at stake. Now that we have gone into Iraq, I believe the outcome in Iraq is important, not only for the Iraqi people, to whom we owe a duty to be responsible, but also for the region and for our Nation's long-term security interest. If the Iraqi people are successful in establishing a representative government, a government that respects human rights, religious tolerance, minority rights and the empowerment of women in their society, then Iraq could become a powerful model for change and reform in a region of the world that's in desperate need of reform.
I believe that a precipitous withdrawal from Iraq today will leave chaos, bloodshed and civil war in our wake. I believe that setting an artificial time for withdrawal will force our policy to merely revolve around that date rather than on the mission to be accomplished. And I've been informed by our military command in Iraq as well as our troops, that they do not desire a date certain because we could be setting them up for failure. They fear that conditions could change on the ground that they have no control over which might make adhering to that date difficult or ill-advised. They do not want artificial dates for the sake of political expediency.
I also believe, however, that this must be a crucial year of transition for us. Now that the Iraqis have established a coalition government and now that we have helped train over 250,000 Iraqi security forces, now is the time to put pressure on the Iraqi people to take control of their own future, through self-government and security responsibilities. We cannot do this for them; we cannot stay there indefinitely as the President proposes; we cannot want a free, stable and secure Iraq more than the Iraqi people want it. Such a change in tactics will enable us to begin the redeployment of our troops first within Iraq, off the front lines, then within the region and eventually back home to their families. It's time for a responsible and successful exit strategy to be implemented. In short, it's time to take the training wheels off.
There have been recent successes in Iraq that we all can applaud. Thanks should be given to our troops in their successful campaign against Abu Musab Al Zarqawi, the notorious and ruthless terrorist whose goal was to create chaos and destruction and fan the flames of civil war.
The Iraqis should be commended for finally, 5 months after national elections, forming a coalition government in which to govern, as well as making the important appointments to the interior and defense ministries.
Yet, even though our forces have proven they can kill the likes of Zarqawi, the question remains whether we can defeat Zarqawism? That is a question that should be discussed and debated.
Purple fingers alone do not make a democracy. Democratic institution building is vital, yet this administration is slashing funding for these programs dedicated to creating viable, long-lasting democratic institutions in Iraq. Getting support for the new Iraqi government from the United Arab League and the international community is also crucial to Iraq's ultimate success or failure. But again, it is difficult to work together and leave together when you didn't go in together.
Clearly, current conditions do not lend for much optimism. Over three years into this conflict, electricity generation is still below prewar conditions. Oil production is still below prewar conditions. Access to safe, clean drinking water is still below prewar conditions. The level of violence against coalition forces and the Iraqi people are at an all time high. Sectarian militias within the country and police forces and growing in numbers and strength. Unemployment, at 45 percent, is at an all time high which creates abject poverty and provides fertile ground for militia recruitment and more sectarian violence throughout the country.
Crime and corruption is rampant and increasing. Iraqi reconstruction is way behind schedule and infected with corruption and fraud. In my last visit to Iraq in October of 2005, I specifically sought explanations for the administration's failure to account for 9 billion dollars of missing reconstruction funds. No explanation could be given.
We're losing approximately 600 military personnel every month due to death or injuries. The administration is literally breaking our military with no plan to save it. We are spending 9 billion a month in Iraq with no plan on how to pay for it other than more borrowing and spending and legacy of debt for our children to inherit.
If there is a big winner in Iraq, it is Iran. The record high oil prices that Iraq helped bring is directly benefiting Iran. Iran continues down the path of developing nuclear cap ability because we have no leverage over them. Iran's influence grows in the region with the majority Shiite population in southern Iraq and their support of Hamas who recently won Palestinian elections.
What our involvement in the Middle East clearly demonstrates is the need for a new energy policy for a new century so we can break our dependence on foreign oil. Today we are financing both sides of global terror, the huge costs of our military excursions but also, through the petro-dollars flowing to many regimes in the Middle East, to charities and schools that support the teaching of radical Islam and helps turn a new generation of young people against us in the region. And again, there is no plan by the administration for a new direction.
Equally disturbing is a recent study that shows that anti-Americanism is rampant and growing throughout the world, not just throughout the Arab and Muslim world but also in those countries that have been traditional friends and allies of the United States. No matter how good and capable our military is, we cannot fight this battle against global terror without help and assistance in the international community.
And still, here today, there is no plan by this administration to turn these conditions around. Iraq and these other challenging issues deserve an honest and open debate. Unfortunately, that opportunity was taken from us today by the majority who would rather whitewash conditions and pretend we're heading in the right direction. The American people deserve better than this, our troops and their families deserve better than this and this Congress deserves better than this. We must reassert our role as a co-equal branch of government, capable of conducting proper oversight, demanding accountability of this and future administrations, and willing to make policy changes to address and overcome the challenges we face today.
I end as I began, by offering heartfelt thanks and undying admiration for our men and women in uniform for their service to our country. May God provide his special blessings and care for those who fell in the line of duty. And may God continue to bless these United States of America.

In Brazil, only individuals who have the higher education degree in Physical Education and register with the Federal Council of Physical Education have permission to work on the sports, physical education, and fitness areas. In higher education, the coordinator of the course is responsible for pedagogic projects and curriculum, which should include general and specific cognizance, based on scientific knowledge. This study aims to analyze the profile of the coordinators of Physical Education courses in higher education institutions in Brazil. The method used was documentary research and content analysis of legislation and official documents of the federal government. Information from 288 coordinators and 318 institutions was analyzed. We found the educational degrees held by coordinators included 12.8 percent with specialists, 62.8 percent masters, 21.1 percent doctors, and 2.7 percent postdoctoral level. Concerning experience in the position, 56.1 percent worked as coordinators less than three years and 49.7 percent had no previous expertise in this position. The results suggest some incompatibility between course coordinators' profile and the characteristics needed for the development of appropriate and academically grounded pedagogical projects. This dissonance may influence the education of the future generation of professionals in Physical Education and Sports.

Box Cakes Using Sugarshack's Method
Decorating By Ladybug09 Updated 14 Oct 2009 , 4:26pm by Ladybug09
I am doing box style cakes for a wedding & will be making the box tops using Sugarshack's method for the first time. My question is regarding stacking & dowels. I'm assuming that you put the dowels in the cakes & then place the tops on? I'm concerned about the weight of the tiers, potentially cracking the tops. Is that a valid concern? Anything I need to do to try & prevent that? All info you can give would be GREATLY appreciated!
Send sugarshack a pm and ask her. She's very nice and always answers my pm questions.
Ok...I'll do that too. Thanks!

2016 Preview: September
September 1st, 2016
August continued to pad 2016's lead over 2015 in the year-over-year comparison. It managed this feat almost entirely due to Suicide Squad, which is on pace to hit $300 million. The next best film was Sausage Party, which might make $100 million, if it gets a push over the top. September won't be as strong as that. This is no surprise, as the month is one of the biggest dumping grounds on the calendar. That said, studios have been working to make the end of the month a lot more productive and there are a few potential hits. The biggest of these is The Magnificent Seven, which is expected to crack $100 million, maybe even $150 million. Meanwhile, Sully and Storks both have a limited chance at $100 million. Last September, the biggest release of the month was Hotel Transylvania 2 with pulled in $169.70 million. I don't think The Magnificent Seven will match that, so we might need a surprise $100 million hit for 2016 to come out on top.
2016 Preview: July
July 1st, 2016
It's July 1st, which is Canada Day. To celebrate, I wanted to give a gift to my American readers down south, so here's a bunch of "u"s. U, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u. Now you can spell words like "colour" and "neighbour" correctly. As for the July preview... June wasn't a good month, despite Finding Dory being on pace to become the biggest hit of the year so far. Most other films failed to match expectations and as a result, 2016's lead over 2015 has nearly evaporated. In fact, ticket sales are below last year's pace. So how does July look in comparison? Well, last July, there were five films that earned more than $100 million, led by Minions, which earned more than $300 million. This July, there are five films that should earn more than $100 million, led by The Secret Life of Pets, which should earned around $250 million. I don't think July 2016 will live up to July 2015, but it should be close. Maybe if one of the expected midlevel hits is a surprise $100 million hit, or if two more of the $100 million hits crack $200 million, then the month will look great. Or one of the expected $100 million hits could flop and 2016 will actually fall behind 2015, even without taking into account ticket price inflation.
2015 Awards Season: Oscar Winners... And the Oscar Goes to Spotlight for Best Picture
February 28th, 2016
It's Oscar day and, if all goes to plan, I will be live-blogging the ceremony tonight. Here is the list of nominees marked according to predictions from our readers, and my personal wishes. Nominees in Bold are the ones predicted to win by our readers (we'll have a full rundown of the predictions at noon, after the contest ends). If I am predicting a different film, those are in Italics. Meanwhile, the nominees I want to win, but don't think will win, are Underlined. There are a few categories where the film I really think deserves the award was not even nominated, plus a few I don't have a real opinion on.
Oscar Predictions: Mad Max Heads Technical Categories, Revenant Favorite for Best Picture
February 28th, 2016
Voting in our annual Predict the Academy Awards contest is now closed, and we can reveal the final vote totals in each category, along with the rough probability for which film will win each award. This is a year where readers are very confident about the outcomes in many of the categories. In fact, there isn't a single major category where less than 50% of readers picked the same winner, and there are five Oscars where 90% or more of readers agreed on the outcome, including a massive 97% of the vote for Inside Out for Best Animated Feature. That makes The Revenant a rather more uncertain bet, with 70% of readers favoring it for Best Picture. That's actually theoretically the closest call among all the major prizes…

This year, Best Supporting Actress is a two-horse race, making it one of the more competitive categories of the ones we are going to look at.
2015 - Awards Season: BAFTA - Winners - Revenant and Mad Max Lead the Way
February 15th, 2016
The BAFTA awards were handed out over the weekend. There were two main winners, The Revenant, which won most of its five awards in the high-prestige categories, and Mad Max: Fury Road, which earn all four of its awards in technical categories. It appears the Oscars will be very similar in that breakdown.
2015 Awards Season: SAG Winners—Oscar Picture Clarifies, Mostly
January 31st, 2016
The Screen Actors Guild winners were handed out last night and for the most part the winners here will likely walk away with an Oscar. There is one major exception.
2015 Awards Season: Oscars - Nominations
January 15th, 2016
The Oscar nominations were announced at 5:30 am Pacific time. Nothing is good that early in the morning. Worse still, this was a terrible year for snubs, especially when it comes to diversity of the nominees. The voters for the Oscars are 94% white and 77% male... but that's still more diverse than the list of nominees. The Revenant led the way with 12 nominations and it is expected to win a few of those, while it is a serious contender in most of the categories it was nominated in.
2015 - Awards Season: Golden Globes - Winners
January 11th, 2016
The Golden Globes were handed out on Sunday evening. There were a few minor surprises and some infuriating results. On the other hand, no one film truly dominated, with The Revenant leading the way with just three wins. Only two other movies earned more than one win, The Martian and Steve Jobs.
2015 - Awards Season: BAFTA - Nominations
January 9th, 2016
The BAFTA nominations were announced and you can read them on their site... in alphabetical order. Alphabetical order is very useful in most circumstances, but not here. On the other hand, the nominees within each category are not presented in alphabetical order. ... Are the BAFTAs trolling us? As for the actual nominees, the big winners here are Bridge of Spies and Carol, both of which earned nine nominations. For Carol, this is just another impressive score, but this was a pleasant surprise for Bridge of Spies.
2015 - Holiday Gift Guide - Part III - Limited Releases, Foreign Films, Classics, and Canadian Films
December 13th, 2015
The third installment of the Holiday Gift Guide focuses on smaller releases, movies that opened in limited release, foreign films, classics getting new releases, and a few Canadian films. This year the list looks different to the previous guides for a simple reason. While there were only eight releases on the TV on DVD installment of the holiday gift guide, the first pass had more than 30 films on this list. I tried trimming the list, but that resulted in me remembering more films I wanted to add to it. Even after getting rid of the ones that won't be released until after Christmas, like Bone Tomahawk, there are still way too many releases to deal with. So let's not delay anymore and get to the list, starting with the biggest release...
2015 - Awards Season: Golden Globes - Nominations
December 10th, 2015
The Golden Globes nominations were announced this morning and we are already beginning to see a trend for this year's Awards Season. For the most part, the same films are coming up over and over again. Carol led the way with five awards, while there was a three-way tie for second place with The Big Short, The Revenant and Steve Jobs each picking up four.
2015 Awards Season: SAG Nominations
December 9th, 2015
The Screen Actors Guild nominations were announced today and there are at least a few surprises to talk about. Trumbo led the way with three nominations, but there were six films with two nods apiece. Six!
Weekend Estimates: Mockingjay Rules Thanksgiving Roost
November 29th, 2015
The combined forces of a 50% weekend-to-weekend decline at the box office and two strong rivals wasn't enough to knock The Hunger Games: Mockingjay—Part 2 off its perch at the top of the box office chart this Thanksgiving. With a three-day total of $51.6 million (and $75.8 million over five), the franchise-capper will finish the holiday just shy of $200 million at the domestic box office. With a reported $242.4 million overseas, the film is hurrying towards $500 million worldwide, and sits at $440.7 million as of Sunday evening.
Limited and VOD Releases: Dressing Up for the Holidays
November 27th, 2015
Thanksgiving Weekend is not a good time to release a limited release. There are too many other distractions for moviegoers to deal with. This year is no different. If we limited the films to only those with ten reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, there would only be two films on this week's list. One of them is The Danish Girl, which was earning some Awards Season buzz. Its reviews are good, but not Awards Season good.
2015 Preview: August
August 1st, 2015
It is still a little too soon to tell how July will finish, as we don't have any numbers for the final weekend at the time of writing. We know Minions was a monster hit and that Ant-man will be a financial success. However, until we see how Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation does, it will be impossible to call the month a true success. If Rogue Nation bombed this weekend, then the month is only a partial success. It would also mean the summer of 2015 could be coming to an abrupt end. As for August, only Fantastic Four has a better than 50/50 chance of reaching $100 million; although some people think Straight Outta Compton also has a shot at that milestone. Besides those two, only a couple of other films even have a realistic shot at becoming midlevel hits. Worse still, last August was amazing with Guardians of the Galaxy breaking records. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles also did better than expected with a domestic haul of nearly $200 million. No release this August is going to match that figure. There's a good chance the top two releases combined won't do so. Fortunately, 2015 has a sizable lead over 2014, so even a soft month will keep 2015 ahead in the year-over-year comparison.
Featured Blu-ray / DVD Review: Ex Machina
July 13th, 2015
Ex Machina is a high-concept Sci-fi movie that I thought had a chance to do well in limited release. ... It earned just over $25 million in theaters and is currently one of the biggest limited release hits of the year. The fact that it found an audience is excellent. Did it deserve this success? And does the DVD / Blu-ray live up to its theatrical success?
Limited and VOD Releases: Some Lovely Limited Releases
June 5th, 2015
In another improvement to our news this week, the Limited Releases column is expanding to cover both limited and VOD releases. I know what you are thinking. You are thinking, "aren't you already talking about VOD on the Home Market Releases column?" Yes. However, those are for VOD releases for films that already played in theaters some time ago. This column will include films that debut on VOD either before, or simultaneously with, their theatrical release. We think this it an important change, as too often the Limited Release column was "Limited Releases Playing in New York City and Possibly Los Angeles." For people in most of the rest of the country, there were no films on the list playing anywhere near them. This week, there are at least a few films worth checking out, including We Are Still Here, which is playing on VOD and Love and Mercy and Testament of Youth, which are theatrical-only releases that both have a shot at mainstream success.
Limited Releases: Forecast is Cloudy
April 10th, 2015
It is an excellent week for limited releases with two films earning stunning reviews and loud buzz: Clouds of Sils Maria and Ex Machina. I think the former has a better chance to expand significantly, but hopefully both will find audiences in theaters. There are also a number of other limited releases earning amazing reviews: About Elly, Black Souls, The Sisterhood of Night, etc. In fact, there are too many to think all of them will thrive.

Practical MongoDB Training - San Francisco
Thursday, March 25, 2010 from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (PDT)
Event Details
Course Overview
Are you interested in learning a practical and powerful NoSQL technology? Have you been researching databases that more easily scale, or that simplify application developement? If so, MongoDB may be worth your time.
This is an intensive, one-day course led by one of the developers of MongoDB. We'll present the fundamental principles of MongoDB, how to set up and interact with the database, and what to consider when building applications using a document-based data model. We'll contrast MongoDB with relational databases and with some NoSQL counterparts.
Most significantly, we'll spend a lot of time actually using the database. Through a series of experiments and mini-projects, you'll come away comfortable using MongoDB and well-prepared to start building applications with it.
In this course, you'll learn:
How to install and configure MongoDB
Basic administration via MongoDB's JavaScript console
How the MongoDB drivers work, and how to use them to build applications
Data modeling with MongoDB documents
When to use MongoDB, when another database type might be a better choice
Scaling with MongoDB (master/slave configurations and auto-sharding)
Unique database features, including capped collections, large file storage, and atomic updates
In addition, there will time throughout the day for questions, discussions, and hands-on learning.
To get the most out of this course, you'll need at least a passing familiarity relational databases and some experience building applications with them. You should be comfortable writing programs in a modern scripting language: Perl, PHP, Python, and Ruby, are all acceptable.
If you've used MongoDB before, this course is an opportunity to delve deeper into the inner workings of the database and learn from an expert from the MongoDB / 10gen team.
This session is limited to 22 attendees.
About MongoDB
MongoDB (from "humongous") is a high-performance, open source, schema-free, document-oriented database. Trading off a few traditional relational database features (notably joins and transactions) in order to achieve much better performance, MongoDB is fast, scalable, and optimized for web development.
Kyle Banker works at 10gen, where he maintains the MongoDB Ruby Driver and supports the Ruby developer community. Previously, Kyle built e-commerce and social networking applications, and he once thrived as teacher of languages and literature. Kyle has presented MongoDB in numerous forums, including Chicago Ruby, DC RUG, and NoSQL East.

This is a fantastic recipe from Mollie Katzen's "Still Life with Menu Cookbook." This is probably my personal favorite recipe in the book - easy, quick, low in fat and good for you! Freshly ground parmesan and black pepper may be added at the end of preparation Greens portion of the recipe can be made 1 or two days head.
Top Review by VegSocialWorker
Yum, yum, yum. This is a simple yet tasty dish. I just love chard and kale, so this recipe is going to be a keeper. Made the greens the night before and also added two cloves of garlic. Made a great work night quick meal. Thanks for posting this, will make again for sure. Leftovers were great even cold.

A Boom Tube is a slang expression for an extra dimensional point-to-point travel portal opened by a Mother Box used primarily by the New Gods of New Genesis and Apokolips. The moniker derives from the loud "BOOM" that erupts when a tube is created.
Orion once said that a boom tube "stems from the waves of the mind"[1] but they allow people to travel interstellar distances almost instantaneously by creating a wormhole through space. The tubes need to be generated or opened by another device, commonly a Mother Box. Boom tubes are powered by the mysterious element X, which serves as a matter threshold.
- The initial Kirby comics depict boom tubes as a sort of quasi-technological equivalent of Bifrost, the Rainbow Bridge linking Asgard and Earth; indeed, boom tubes are described as a "bridge to Earth." Subsequent writers have allowed the tubes to be used for point-to-point transport between various locations on New Genesis, Apokolips, Earth and other planets, thereby making them near-ubiquitous for the travel of the New Gods. Boom tubes replaced other mostly undefined concepts like the Electron Road, the Matter Threshold and the Star Gate, all of which have been used by the New Gods for travel from either New Genesis or Apokolips.
- Later canon is unclear on whether it is even possible to travel from the regular universe to that of the New Gods without a boom tube or similar device. For example, an issue of Justice League International shows the JLI reaching Apokolips using a normal spacecraft, but Cosmic Odyssey explicitly states that one cannot reach Apokolips or New Genesis without a tube.
- The "tube only" idea was reinforced when later writers introduced the idea that the New Gods were, in fact, giants, and that the boom tube would appropriately shrink or enlarge people who traveled through it. For example, if Superman were to travel to Apokolips in some manner under his own power, he would be miniature (if not microscopic) in comparison to Darkseid.[2] This has apparently become canon in the 52 mini-series, demonstrated by the great size of the New God Devilance the Pursuer. The precise size ratio has varied, with New Gods in their "original" size being depicted as anywhere from tens of feet tall, to tens of thousands of miles tall (as in New Gods #10, 1996).
- In Grant Morrison's Mister Miracle run, it was revealed that the technology is actually referred to as 'boom lanes' by the New Gods. However, the noise disorients the character, so he later calls it "'boom tube', or something."
- In Brad Meltzer's Justice League of America #1, a villain named Dr. Impossible uses a "father box" to summon "hush tubes".
- A little known example of mechanized size alteration is the Boom-Tube. The technology used in a Boom-Tube automatically compensates for a traveler's size and mass when teleporting them from one galaxy to another. Beings native to the realm of the New Gods for example are actually many times the size of a normal Earth human, but their volume, mass and density decreases when they travel to Earth, and returns to normal when they return home.

Our first day on the Wego in Bangalore was an eventful one. Now, as the sun started setting down on the last day of 2016, we head out once again into the city to welcome the New Year with the rest of Bangalore.
After a few in-depth conversations over a meal with friends born and bred in Bangalore, the team decided to meet up at Smallys, (one of the branches is the smallest full-fledged operating restaurant in India) for a bite before heading out on the TVS Wego to the most happening places in the city on New Year's Eve.
After sating our stomachs, we rode off into the night, stopping on the way to top up the Wegos for the upcoming trip across the city.
Thankfully the external fuel filler cap on the TVS Wego ensured that we didn't have to get off the seat while filling up for the ride ahead.
Bangalore is known as the pub capital of India and zipping past the streets of the city on the Wego, we went past quite a few places where the city's denizens had gathered to bring in the New Year together with a friend and a pint.
Many more were seen heading towards the churches, which were still in a celebratory mood post-Christmas and lit up the area around them.
Next, we hit Church Street or as Bangalore knows it Pub Crawl Central. As we rode down the narrow street, the Wegohad to manoeuvre its way past the crowds who were queuing up outside some of Bangalore's finest watering holes.
Thankfully, the Wego's long wheelbase ensured that we easily squeezed past crowds awaiting entry into the various pubs and clubs that dot the street which were blaring out the latest hits for the partygoers who were rocking the year out.
With the year's last hours quickly running out, we rode away from the city centre towards Indira Nagar which is also known for its watering holes and is a hit among the younger crowd, which the Wego targets as well.
2017 roared into life as the city celebrated the dawn of a new year with firecrackers and we invoked some divine help for the year ahead, before heading home with the Wegos for the first time in the new year as we celebrated a new year together with some good food and much-needed siesta.
However, our adventures on the Wego are not yet over and we'll soon be heading to out celebrate the harvest festival of Pongal in Chennai.
Keep your eyes glued to this place as the final adventure in our crazy ride aboard the Wego starts in a few weeks time.
So, here we come Chennai or rather here #WegoChennai.

Resident Evil has at least four separate continuities going right now: The main games
The movies
The novels
The comics
As it stands, despite the fact that they aren't related, multiverse articles are all crammed together under the same tab. Looking at Leon's tab, for example, would lead one to assume Gaidan is part of the movie continuity, because they're on the same page. Further, no characters have separate tabs for their novel or comics portrayals.
This what I propose: When you click on the "other continuities" tab for a character, you get taken to another portal with links to different pages for each one. Obviously, this isn't necessary for every character, but for those who have significant differences between their game and non game timelines (such as Rebecca in the novels, or Leon, Jill, Barry, and Chris in the comics), this would be worthwhile.

SeeMeEducate FAQ
Why should 3D printing be used in the classroom?
It's simple, 3D printing can motivate, captivate and unleash the creative possibilities that
our students are yearning for. When a student has a 3D model on the computer it's neat.
When they print their design, hold it in their hands, manipulate it, find its strengths and
weaknesses, well that's just incredible.
3D printing is quickly gaining attention in many different industries especially education.
This is due to its ability to meet a broad range of needs by quickly and affordably
producing quality products that until recently would have required a significant
What Grades would 3D printing appropriate for?
3D printing can be an excellent addition to any elementary, middle school, high school or
post-secondary classroom. The grade level will typically determine the complexity of the
resulting prints and how much overseeing of printing is needed, but the SeeMeEducate
curriculum is easily adaptable by the classroom teacher to meet the specific needs of their class.
What classes are best suited for 3D printing?
The Orion Delta printer is well suited to meet the needs of a broad range of classes
including but not limited to: STEM Programs, Engineering Technology Education
courses, Computer Graphics and other Art classes.
What size objects can the Orion Delta 3D Printer Print?
The Orion Delta can print a broad range of designs within a cylindrical build envelope of
6" in diameter and 9" tall (175 cubic inches).
How long will it take to print an object?
Print time varies by part size, shape, complexity and final application requirements.
Small prints, such as the SeeMe Dog Tag (included in the curriculum) have been
optimized to print in less than 15 minutes.
What type of file is required to 3D print an object?
.STL or .OBJ are the standard file types required to 3D print an object. Most 3D
modeling software is capable of exporting in this format, meaning you won't need to
invest time and finance to purchase and learn new modeling software. If you aren't
already using any 3D modeling software, there are multiple options available to get
started, many that are free. Additionally, ready to print objects can be downloaded from

needs. From the beginning, SeeMeCNC has aimed to provide the most affordable yet
high quality 3D printing solutions on the market. We take pride in giving you the best
machines and support that are available anywhere.

adhere the print to the surface it starts printing on. There are other materials to use for
this such as Kapton tape (more expensive), Hair Sprays (cheap and easy) and even PET
tapes. All of these surface prep materials can last for dozens or more prints if care is taken
to let the prints cool before removing them and handling with care.
What kind of materials can I print with?
The educational package comes with three rolls of PLA and one roll of ABS filament.
The Orion Delta printer is capable of printing single color parts, but we offer a range
of colors in both types of filament to meet your aesthetic design needs. We also offer
Taulman Nylon and Taulman T-Glase filaments, but we recommend these for more
advanced users. To learn more about choosing filaments read PLA VS. ABS Plastic –
What is the difference between the Orion Delta and other SeeMeCNC 3D printers?
The Orion Delta comes fully assembled and ready to print. It has gone through assembly,
calibration, and even printing test at the factory before it ever leaves the shop. The kits
require a typical minimum of 30 hours to assemble and calibrate before being ready to print
as well as a much larger learning curve. The are for the DIY guys and gals that want to
"build not buy" their own 3D Printers.

Double Exposure Blackjack is a card game played with multiple standard decks of 52 cards each. These decks are usually shuffled before the start of each game.
The game is sometimes known as Dealer Disclosure or Face Up 21. Invented by Bob Stupak (the former owner of the legendary Stratosphere and Vegas World casinos), Double Exposure Blackjack differs from traditional blackjack in that the dealer's cards are revealed to the player from the start of the game.
This obviously gives the player a huge advantage over the house and, as a result, certain rules of traditional blackjack had to be changed and modified to bring up the house edge.

If so what sort of clothing style or whatever makes you initially notice a guy? I'm only asking because I got a new jacket and I feel like I keep getting looks from girls more often now. its like this jacket has powers or something its crazy. Do clothes really make the difference?
Most Helpful Girl
Yes they do. Remember pants on the ground guy from american idol? I feel the same way about guys with their pants hanging on the ground as he does, it looks ridiculous and it makes whoever's wearing them look like an idiot who doesn't have enough sense to go put a belt on. But yeah, I definitely take into account how guys are dressed especially when I go out on the weekends. If you show up to the bar in jeans and some random T-shirt I'm not gonna think too highly of you. I was at the bar the other week and there was some guy there in a ninja turtle t-shirt and all I could think was wtf. Generally I think guys look best in jeans (jeans that fit) and button down shirts, whenever I go out and I see a guy wearing that I just think it looks good and like the guy at least cares about how he looks when he goes out. I think how you dress says a lot about you.10|10|0

Saturday Night At The Liberal Curmudgeon: Eva Cassidy Sings "Autumn Leaves"
Eva Cassidy sings the most beautiful rendition of "Autumn Leaves" I've ever heard–a perfect interpretation of the haunting lyrics. This performance reminds us how much we lost when this outstanding vocalist and guitarist passed away much too young at 33.

Jeff you are right, Eva is a treasure that was taken away from us way too soon.
You may already have it,but if not, I highly recommend Eva's "Live At Blues Alley" CD. In addition to "Autumn Leaves" there are 12 more gems.
That is a must have in any music lovers collection.
Thanks for posting.

I respect the musical tastes of both of you and am in agreement. Listen to how stirring her performance is here. Eva was a tremendous artist whom we lost much too early.
