Real Body Fit
Even when she was swamped with a private psychotherapy practice and raising three kids, Bernadette Silva always found time for exercise. For the past 10 years, the certified personal trainer has studied boxing, yoga, and Pilates, ultimately developing her own workout style that fuses the aforementioned techniques with sports drills. In 2008, Silva and a group of local women spearheaded Neighborhood Workouts—the fitness program that would become Real Body Fit.
Today, Silva and her team of certified personal trainers captain a gaggle of fitness classes throughout the week. Their signature boot camp fuses sports drills with high-intensity routines of cardio, strength training, yoga, and Pilates to offload calories, bolster cores, and build more endurance. The class list also includes Zumba and Piloxing fitness classes as well as kids' fitness classes, during which youngsters build self-confidence and the strength to finally confront the lunch ladies who take their money every day.

Recipe by Floofies
This is a no-bake cookie that my sister showed me when I was a kid and they immediately became my favorite. I am not sure why they are called Rochester cookies or where the recipe came from. I kept losing the recipe, so I thought I would post it here for posterity! They cook up fast, so when you have a craving, they won't keep you waiting long. They set-up nicely over time, but I doubt they'll last that long!

J. BLAINE ANDERSON, Circuit Judge:
Missoula White Pine Sash Co. (White Pine) discharged its fourteen most junior employees out of the 94 it had laid off, stating, "[W]e can see no reasonable expectations of being able to recall all our employees who are currently laid off due to the depressed economy." Local Union No. 2812, Lumber Production and Industrial Workers (Union) appeals the district court's judgment that the terminations were not a breach of the collective bargaining agreement between it and White Pine. We affirm, holding that the terminations were not a breach of the express provisions of the agreement nor did the agreement contain an implied covenant that White Pine could discharge its employees only for just cause.
No Breach of Express Covenant
The existence of an employee's seniority rights or any limitation of an employer's right to discharge must find its source in the collective bargaining agreement. Broniman v. Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, 353 F.2d 559, 561 (6th Cir.1965), cert. denied, 384 U.S. 907, 86 S.Ct. 1343, 16 L.Ed.2d 360 (1966). The agreement between White Pine and the Union contains a "Hire and Discharge" provision:
We agree with the district court that this provision carefully protects White Pine's common law unrestricted right to discharge. If the employee believes that his discharge was unjust, the agreement provides for a grievance procedure by which he may air his complaint to the shop committee and the management. If, however, the management does not agree, the employee will not be reinstated. This comports
The Union, however, relies on two other provisions as support for its argument that the agreement restricts White Pine's discharge authority. The first is the "Union Security and Check-off" provision:
The Union contends that if the Hire and Discharge provision already affords White Pine an unrestricted right to discharge, this provision is redundant. It is not superfluous, however, in that unlike in the Hire and Discharge provision, the probationary employee is not allowed to file a grievance nor is White Pine required to notify the Shop Committee of the reason for the discharge.
The second portion of the agreement relied upon by the Union is the "Seniority" provision:
The Union interprets this provision to mean that when there is a slackness of work due to economic conditions, White Pine is required, no matter how dim the prospect of rehire, to lay off, rather than discharge, employees. Furthermore, the Union argues, since the agreement contains no limitation on the length of time an employee may remain on layoff status, the employee has a virtually unlimited right of recall.
In support of a mandatory layoff, the Union singles out the phrases, "In case of lay-off because of slackness of work, employees hired last shall be laid off first ...," and, "Any employee who is laid off shall be returned to work ... when operations are resumed." We believe the Union's emphasis to be misplaced. The provision is entitled "Seniority," not "Layoff," and when read as a whole merely delineates the mechanical operation of the seniority apparatus, i.e., the time at which seniority rights begin to accrue (after thirty work days), and, in the event White Pine chooses to lay off employees, the order in which the work force shall be reduced (employees hired last shall be laid off first), the order of rehire (those laid off first shall be rehired last), and the employee's position upon rehire (regular status).
Seniority rights, moreover, are expressly subject to forfeiture if the employee is discharged and not rehired within thirty days. The agreement contains no "discharge for just cause" qualification nor any limitation on White Pine's right to make good faith economic decisions concerning the size of its work force. White Pine's good faith is not questioned. Thus, we find no basis for
Local Lodge 2040, International Association of Machinists, AFL-CIO v. Servel, Inc., 268 F.2d 692, 698 (7th Cir.), cert. denied, 361 U.S. 884, 80 S.Ct. 155, 4 L.Ed.2d 120 (1959) (citation omitted).
No Implied Covenant to Discharge for Just Cause
Generally, unless restricted by the collective bargaining agreement, an employer may discharge an employee for good cause, bad cause, or no cause at all without violating the National Labor Relations Act as long as the motivation is not to punish protected union activity. L'Eggs Products, Inc. v. National Labor Relations Board, 619 F.2d 1337, 1341 (9th Cir.1980). The Union does not contend that these discharges were connected with union activity. Rather, it argues that the agreement contains an implied covenant that White Pine not terminate an employee except for just cause. It relies on the unpublished opinion in Local 2750 Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union v. Cole, No. 980 (D.Oregon 1978), rev'd in part, 663 F.2d 983 (1981) in which the court implied a just cause standard. The decision in the Cole case was based upon contract language which defined "grievance" as a complaint of "disciplinary action without just cause" and which provided that "[i]f upon investigation it is found that such employee was unjustly suspended or discharged, he [would be] reinstated upon such condition as the Union and Employer agree." (Emphasis added). We agree with the analysis of the district court that the agreement involved here is materially distinguishable from that in Cole:
Moreover, given that this agreement does not provide for arbitration, but does contain an express provision covering discharges, allotting to White Pine the "sole and exclusive right to hire, discipline and discharge any employee," indicates to us that the parties did not intend to limit the common law right of the employer to discharge at will. Had such been the intention, it could easily have been incorporated into the agreement. Cause for discharge is too important a matter to be thought to have been overlooked, and too customarily dealt with expressly, for us to assume that the parties either unconsciously left it out, or intentionally omitted it, thinking it to be implicit. It is not for this court to substitute its judgment for that of White Pine as long as White Pine exercises its prerogatives in good faith and in accordance with its contractual obligations. To do otherwise would be to subvert the collective bargaining process by remaking the collective bargaining agreement. Accordingly, the district court is
FLETCHER, Circuit Judge, dissenting:
I respectfully dissent. The majority holds that White Pine may discharge any or all of its laid-off employees at any time, without regard to seniority. Its interpretation of the collective bargaining agreement
The Supreme Court has recognized that "in common parlance and in industrial parlance" a discharge is quite different from a lay-off, which occurs "when the slackening of work require[s] a reduction in forces." Fishgold v. Sullivan Drydock & Repair Corp., 328 U.S. 275, 286-87, 66 S.Ct. 1105, 1111-12, 90 L.Ed. 1230 (1946). The only sensible interpretation of the contract which gives all of its terms meaning is one which recognizes the distinctive treatment the agreement and the contracting parties give to each of these situations. Provisions relating to "discharge," including Article VIII, which gives the employer the exclusive right to hire and discharge employees, and Article XIV, section G(2), which provides that an employee who is discharged forfeits seniority, refer only to the discharge of an employee who is actively working for the employer. The employer's right to discharge in this situation does not unreasonably conflict with seniority rights because it can be assumed that the employer will not arbitrarily terminate the competent workers it needs to keep its business going. Further, grievance procedures are provided for any such discharged employee who feels himself unjustly dealt with. The same assumption does not apply to the termination of laid-off employees for whom the employer has no immediate need, as the employer's conduct in this case demonstrates. The contract is specific that laid-off employees have an absolute right to be rehired in order of seniority, subject only to the express limitation that they be competent. Because the employer has violated the collective bargaining agreement by discharging laid-off employees, I would reverse.

Hydrofracking is a technique where larger amounts of water, combined with smaller amounts of chemicals and sand, are pumped under high pressure into a drilled gas well. The main purpose to hydrofracking is to form tiny fractures in the rock by using water to force the rock open along tiny fractures that already exist. After the pressure is released, sand is left behind, opening the tiny fractures and allowing the gasses to escape more freely into the well.
Hydrofracking began as an experiment in 1947, but did not become a successful application until completed in 1950. The initial experiment took place in Kansas in 1947. Although, before water was introduced into the procedure, the companies used oil and other thick products to complete the fracturing job. Water was introduced to this process in 1953. Higher pressure and concentrations mean that more fractures are able to be opened, and more gas can be released from the well. Over 60% of all gas drilled wells have been achieved by hydrofracking.
Process of Fracking
Step 1: A well is drilled vertically to the desired depth, then turns ninety degrees and continues horizontally for several thousand feet into the shale believed to contain the trapped natural gas.
Step 2: A mix of water, sand, and various chemicals is pumped into the well at high pressure in order to create fissures in the scale through which the gas can escape.
Step 3: Natural gas escapes through the fissures and is drawn back up the well to the surface, where it is processed, refined, and shipped to market.
Step 4: Wastewater(also called "flow back water" or "produced water") returns to the surface after the fracking process is completed. In Michigan, this water is continued in steel tanks until it can be stored long-term by deep injection in oil and gas waste wells.
Pros and Cons of Hydrofracking
- It is the most efficient energy extraction process
- The United States has abundant levels of shale rock
- It can be a massive job creator
- It can help to create more usable water
- Mostly sand and water are used for the hydrofracking process
- There is a direct impact to the air quality of a region that allows hydrofracking
- Inhaled silicon can cause some major health problems
- Inhaled silicon can cause some major health problems
- There are numerous health risks to the surrounding population
- It has a high risk of oil spills
- Honesty isn't always involved
Any further information or explanation on the pros and cons of hydrofracking can be found on
Fracking Explained
This video can explain anything that is not understood about hydrofracking. It is a lot of use for any help or questions about fracking. Watch this video!
I hope you now have been informed of hydrofracking and understand the things that are happening when you see a fracking cite! Thank you! :)))

Cougar Mountain Software's (CMS) announces that the CMS Professional 2011 product line has received its PA-DSS (Payment Application Data Security Standards) validation as established by the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards Council. This means that CMS customers can now process, store, and transmit credit/debit card data safely and securely and remain PCI compliant.
These new security measures provide software vendors with a definitive data standard to protect sensitive cardholder data, for the general consumer, from identity theft. It is critical for software providers whose applications process, store and, or transmit credit/debit card data receive this PA-DSS validation which went into effect on July 1, 2010 as issued by the PCI Security Standards Council. If businesses and merchants use software that is not certified, they may be subjected to fines if their network is breached and cardholder data stolen.
To achieve this PA-DSS validation for CMS Professional 2011, CMS has been working diligently to ensure that their software meets PCI guidelines so their customers remain in compliancy. In order to do this, several steps were taken in terms of software security, user's rights and the overall protection of credit and debit card data. For a list of all of the requirements for PA-DSS Validation, visit https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/.
CMS Professional products continue to work with PCCharge credit/debit card processing system, which is also PCI compliant. As for Cougar Mountain Software's Denali accounting product line, it too remains PCI compliant because the cardholder data is no longer stored within the Denali software. Instead, Denali has partnered with a PA-DSS validated third party solution to process those transactions.
About CMS Professional — The CMS Professional accounting software line is best suited for businesses that have outgrown their initial accounting solution. The module applications are bundled together offering a sound integrated solution to meet a business' need. This software line has a 3-year fiscal calendar, many reports and multi-tiered security as well.

Fox has the 411 on Rihanna 777
Part documentary and part promotional video, the hour-long special Rihanna 777 (which airs Monday, May 6 on Fox) follows the music superstar as she takes a Boeing 777 filled with fans and media on a seven-day tour through seven countries, in which she performs seven shows aimed at promoting her seventh album, Unapologetic. What time does it air? Why, 7 p.m., of course.
Angels in the Architecture
The trouble-plagued Cube stage in Old Market Square is just spitting distance from Cinematheque. But that doesn't stop the art-house cinema from celebrating the art of architecture next week with the Architecture + Design Film Festival. It runs May 8-11, showcasing films about more functional works such as Bird's Nest: Herzog and de Meuron in China, a film about the five-year construction of the 100,000-seat National Stadium in Beijing prior to the Olympic Games in Beijing. Check out www.winnipegcinematheque.com for the program.
Separating the movie men from the boys
Some of us are looking forward to the new Hollywood adaptation of The Great Gatsby. And others can hardly wait for the Brad Pitt zombie blockbuster World War Z. But the real film fans in town are on tenterhooks for the May 15 Cinematheque screening of Survival Lessons: The Greg Klymkiw Story. Of course, if you don't recall Klymkiw, right, from his glory days in Winnipeg as a producer, actor and general provocateur, you are either charmingly youthful or you don't really care about local film culture.
Don't turn off your cellphones
A handful of American theatres are experimenting with allowing some audience members to tweet their opinions of plays, operas and ballets from their back-row seats during performances. Management is so desperate to engage the digital generation and maintain its dwindling pop-culture relevance that they are willing to raise the ire of most of their other patrons by setting aside tweet seats. If that were to become a widely applied policy, theatres would lose far more ticket-buyers than would be gained.

Directed by
Rob Reiner
"It could be tonight,' he thought as he stood in the corner, pretending to have a good time. He would meet her tonight. All his young life, he had dreamed of a girl like this. 5'6, silky hair, trim, nubile body that really knew how to move. And soft, deeply tanned skin. Now as for personality traits, she needed only one. She had to love sex and all the time. To arrive at this moment, he had traveled vast distances enduring many hardships. Abject poverty, starvation, show tunes, you name it. From across the room, he saw her. She was perfect. He knew almost nothing about her and she didn't know much more about him. It was exactly how it was supposed to be. He brought her to his room. The lights were soft, the moment was right."
Okay guys, you can put your tongue back in your mouth and quit drooling. Gals, don't judge this book by it's cover. The above passage takes place near the end of Rob Reiner's The Sure Thing but it perfectly encapsulates what this film is about. Still it's like putting the cart before the horse.
John Cusack has been one of the most under appreciated actors in American Cinema. Ask any person to make a list of the best actors in the past twenty or so years, and his name is seldom if ever mentioned. I have yet to see him give a really bad performance in any film he has starred in, no matter how dull, lame, or stupefying the material may have been. That being said, The Sure Thing is neither dull or lame, and certainly not stupefying. As romantic comedies go, it's a pure delight.
Like many American males in high school, Walter "Gib" Gibson (John Cusack) rates his success not by how he does on the honor roll but by how many girls he's had sex with. Alas, after a productive sophomore and junior year, his senior year in High School has been a vast and barren wasteland. He does have a pick up line that he uses on occasion:
"Consider outer space. You know, from the time of the first NASA mission, it became evident that being in space has a profound effect on the human psyche. You know, during the first Gemini mission, some thought was actually given to the notion of sending up a man and a woman... together. A cosmic 'Adam and Eve,' if you will. Bound together in a highly sophisticated nerve center, at the head of the largest, most powerful rocket, yet known, it's giant thrusters blasting them into the dark void, as they hurtle towards their final destination: the gushing wellspring of life itself. How would you like to have a sexual encounter so intense it could conceivably change your political views?"
You can almost hear the retort from coast to coast: How would you like to get slapped in the mouth? It's like the old joke where the first guy walks up to these girls and asks, "you wanna screw?" The second guy tells him, "I bet you get slapped a lot." And the first guy replies, "yes I do, but I get screwed a lot as well." Gib would probably have better luck by just going ahead anddispensing with the Star Trek prologue. But his best friend Lance (Anthony Edwards) is sympathetic towards his plight.
Lance: Hey what is this, Lonely Man Sitting on a Hill, huh?
Gib: It's over, Lance. It's gone, I've lost it. High School. I started off so hot. Sophomore year: 2 Times. Junior year was excellent: 4 times. And not all with the same girl. Senior year looked like the best. The first day of classes, then nothing.
Lance: What do you mean nothing your Senior year? What about that time with Barbara Devillebis in the high-jump pit. Huh?
Gib: That was you.
Lance: Oh yeah.
Gib: I just can't motivate myself the way I used to. Maybe I'm past my prime.
Lance: Hey, it's not you! It's these high school girls here. They're simple. They're never gonna stimulate a complex guy like you.
Gib: Maybe you're right.
Lance: Of course I'm right. Anyways, after tonight you'll never have to deal with these simple high school girls again.
Gib: But won't these same girls be in college?
Lance: Yeah. But it'll be different.
Gib: Why?
Lance: Because they'll be college girls.
Lance is headed out to the sun, surf, and excitement of Southern California while Gib is headed to an unnamed Ivy League School in New England to get what he calls a real education.
Gib: I'm gonna miss you Lance.
Lance: It's your own fault you know, you could be coming out to California with me.
Gib: Yeah, right. Get a totally bitchin education out there dude. California! You could be coming to New England with me, you know.
Lance: Are you crazy? The Ivy League stinks man. All they got there are those ugly intellectual girls, with band-aids on their knees from playing the cello. No, thank you!
Gib: I'm really gonna miss you, Lance.
In his freshman year of college, things are downright bleak. He is unable to connect with the life style of the East Coast College Girls.
As Gib explains it, "All they want to do is stay indoors, smoke cigarettes and relate. I don't like them."
It seems as if everybody except Gib, including Gib's chunky roommate Jimbo (Joshua Cadman), is having sex with someone, leaving Gib out in the cold. Still, Gib writes old pal Lance a letter, initially painting a rosy picture of his life in the East, then finishing it off with a flourish:
P.S. All of the above is bullshit. I'm floundering in a sea of confusion, and total despair. But knock on wood, I still have my health.
There is hope for Gib, but not much. Sitting next to him in English class is attractive clean cut, girl next door type, Alison Bradbury (Daphne Zuniga). It's obvious he's attracted to her, although we're never really sure why because clearly Alison is certainly not Gib's type. Well, she is female and she does talk in complete sentences so that much at least fits Gib's low standards. But Gib's foot in mouth disease continues unabated.
"You sure do take a lot of notes," he tells her in one class. To which she promptly gives him the old "Go fornicate yourself" look. A girl like Alison would never ever use the word fuck. They just think it. You kind of have to imagine your own thought bubble.
Alison is everything that Gib is not. She's an uptight ultra conservative straight A student, who does nothing without first jotting down a notation in her schedule book. Her clothes are always neat, pressed, and matched perfectly. There is nary a hair out of place. Alison's most memorable life experience is the fact that she passed out in Elvis's bedroom while touring Graceland and once gave her brother a bloody nose.
The chasm separating Gib and Alison is never more obvious then when Professor Taub (Viveca Lindfors) comments on their essays.
Professor Taub (to Gib while holding his essay): I wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed your paper.
Gib: You did?
Taub: Yeah. I don't remember the last time that I have seen this much detail expressed on "How to Eat Pizza Without Burning the Roof of Your Mouth." Unfortunately, whatever whimsical qualities that your paper evokes are obscured in a morass of marginal grammar, creative spelling, and..uh..as I believe sausage stain.
Gib: Pepperoni
Taub: Clean it up Gibson.
On the other hand, Alison's paper is clean, neat, clear, succinct and to the point. But it has its own problems as well.
Taub: Miss Bradbury, you on the other hand, you express your ideas very clearly.
Alison: Thank you.
Taub: Except that your paper is, well, it's dry. There's not enough of you coming through. Loosen up, Alison. Have some fun! Yes, sleep when you feel like it, not when you think you should, eat food that is bad for you at least once in a while. Uh.. have conversations with people whose cloths are not color coordinated. Make love in a hammock! Life is the ultimate experience. Now you have to experience it, in order to write about it. (Alison raises her hand) Yes, Alison?
Alison (still taking notes): What did you say after hammock?
If I would have had a few more teachers like Ms. Taub when I was in school, I'd be breezing through these reviews instead of squeezing every little syllable out of my meat grinder of a brain. I mean, how could you dare to disappoint a teacher that tells you to make love in a hammock?
Anyway, Gib is not easily deterred. Hoping Alison will take pity on him, he uses his English struggles to prey on her good nature while she is taking a swim:
"I'm flunking English. I was wondering if maybe you could help me out. If I flunk English, I'm out of here. Kiss College Goodbye. I don't know what I'll do. I'll probably go home. Gee Dad will be pissed off, mom will be heartbroken. If I play my cards right, I get maybe a six-months grace period and then I got to get a job, and you know what that means. That's right, they start me off at the drive-up window and I gradually work may way up from shakes to burgers and then, one day my lucky break comes. The French Fry guy dies and they offer me the job. But the day I have to start some men come by in a black Lincoln Continental and tell me I can make a quick $300 just for driving a van back from Mexico. When I get out of jail I'm 36 years old, living in a flophouse, no job, no home, no upward mobility, very few teeth. Then one day they find me face down talking to the gutter, clutching a bottle of paint thinner. And why? Because you wouldn't help me in English! No! You were too busy to help me! Too busy to help a drowning man!"
A speech that is punctuated with Gib stumbling backwards into the pool and Alison showing how much she really cares by swimming around him. It is only when a waterlogged Gib camps out on the steps that she finally relents and offers to tutor him, scheduling Gib for 8:00 and writing it in her daily planner.
And although an unsuspecting Alison sees her appointment with Gib as a tutoring session, Gib has other ideas, and picks up a few pointers from his more sexually active roommate:
Jimbo: It's not what you say that counts but how you say it. Use sincerity. It's the best technique.
Gib: What?
Jimbo: Come here. (Grabs Gib and pulls him over to the bed, sitting him on it. Then gazes into his eyes) You know, I've never met anyone like you before. Usually when I meet someone knew I feel awkward and shy. But with you it's different. I can talk to you. You know what I'm thinking without my having to explain it to you in fancy terms. We speak each other's unspoken language fluently. I love you.
Gib: Oh Jimbo, that is the most enormous pile of horseshit I've ever heard in my life.
And if Gib's quest to conquer Alison wasn't difficult enough, there is one more impediment. Alison has a fiancé that is going to school at UCLA. But if it's an obstacle the one track mind Gib chooses to ignore it. And having had enough of English Literature for one day, Gib manages to get a reluctant Alison to follow him to the roof of the library.
Once on the roof, Gib begins pointing out the constellations to Alison and for the first time she really seems interested. But whereas his interest is in astronomy, her's is in mythology. So I suppose you would call that finding uncommon common ground, but isn't that the way it's supposed to work?
Now, I'm not sure how Gib got into an Ivy league school, but when things are going well between you and your date, one doesn't have to be a Rhodes Scholar to know that one thing you don't do is use a bullshit line on her, especially a bullshit line that you yourself described as being the "most enormous pile of horsehsit you've ever heard in your life" less than a couple of hours earlier.
But Gib's problem is not obstinate ignorance. It's painfully obvious that he doesn't know how to express his real feelings about anything or anyone, unless he's putting it on an English Literature assignment. And Alison lets him know what she thinks of his pick up line by shoving him to the ground and giving Gib a swift kick to finish him off and be rid of him permanently.
Later, on the way to Ms. Taub's English class, Gib apologizes profusely, and this time, since he really is being sincere, Alison forgives him. Unfortunately, the fates are out to do Gib in again, and Ms. Taub picks up Gib's paper to read. That would be fine except the paper is actually one that belongs to his roommate Jimbo, and is a letter to Penthouse magazine bragging about his sexual exploits.
Needless to say, writing an essay about your "ten inches of man meat" after having just convinced Alison that the guy on the roof wasn't the real you, does not go over too well, and in real life, that would be that. But in romantic comedy movie life things are just getting started.
Having given up on Alison, Gib's best friend Lance comes to his rescue. He has already sent Gib a picture of a beautiful young girl in a skimpy bikini, and calls Gib on the phone on the phone to fill in the details:
Lance: There's a certain someone I want you to meet.
Gib: Forget it.
Lance: She's a very special person.
Gib: I can't deal with striking out on both coasts.
Lance: You're not gonna strike out. She was just released from parochial school. She's in her experimental phase.
Gib: Will you forget it Lance.
Lance: She loves sex.
Gib: What does she look like?
Lance: You remember that last snapshot I sent you? The blonde in the string bikini? Get it.
Gib: I can't right now.
Lance: That's an order Private Gibson. (Gib runs into his room, past Jimbo and his girlfriend who in the throes of passion are oblivious to him, and retrieves the photograph we saw earlier)
Gib (looking at the photograph): Yeah.
Lance: You got it? Good, now look at it. Fixate on it. Are you fixating on it?
Gib: I'm fixating.
Lance: Are you sitting down?
Gib: Yes.
Lance: She's a sure thing, Gib. A sure thing. Now I don't need to explain the deep significance of those words. I told her all about you and she's dying to meet you. But you gotta drag your ass out here by the 22nd, because she's leaving the next day for a semester at sea. So you think you can make it?
I'll answer Lance's question for him. Is the Pope Catholic and does a bear....never mind. But you get the point.
Not one to be deterred, Gib catches a shared ride with another couple Mary Ann Webster (Lisa Jane Persky) and Gary (but not the Gary Cooper that's dead) Cooper (Tim Robbins), who have advertised for companions to help defray the costs of a trip to the west coast for Christmas.
And once in the car, Gib finds that there is one other passenger who has taken them up on their offer. If you guessed Alison, you win the prize. So while Gib is headed out to L.A. to get laid, Alison is as well, in a manner of speaking. She's going to meet her fiancé Jason (Boyd Gaines) at UCLA. And when Gib gets in the car she's not a happy camper.
I don't know if you've ever made a long long trip across country by automobile or of any other long distance for that matter. I've taken a few long trips, and at least one of them turned out to be the trip from hell. And I'll put my trip from hell up against anybody's. So I can sympathize, even with the Gary Cooper that's not dead. There are far far worse things that can happen to you other than having to sing a few stanzas of 76 Trombones. Me? I'm partial to hits from the sixties myself, seeing as how when I was growing up I was constantly serenaded by my five sisters every time we got into a car together for a family outing.
It goes without saying that this excursion to the Pacific Ocean will not go well. Gibb and Alison spend most of their time nitpicking, criticizing, and just flat out hating one another. Gary (but not the Gary Cooper that's dead) Cooper and Mary Ann just want everybody to get along and sing their show tunes. There's nothing like a rousing rendition of "Aquarius" in the confines of an automobile. It isn't long before Gib and Alison's bickering ends up getting under the skin of Gary (but not the Gary Cooper that's dead) Cooper and Mary Ann, especially when our quarrelsome duet of Gib and Alison are directly responsible for the Gary Cooper that's not dead getting pulled over and ticketed by the cops.
But as good as The Sure Thing is before it even hits the road, that's how much better it is once those wheels start rolling towards Malibu. In fact, before that point the film has just started which is why I'm leaving it up to you to see how this baby drives down that long lonesome highway.
You don't have to have a Masters Degree in Romantic Comedies 101 to know where this is all going to end up. But with these kinds of films, getting there is often 90 percent or more of the fun. And The Sure Thing is a blast.
Director Rob Reiner and writers Steve Bloom and Jonathan Roberts take their film where other directors might be tempted to end theirs. Just when we think Gib and Alison are on the road to romantic bliss, they throw another obstacle in their path, pushing them even further apart than they were before. It is only when fate and circumstances intervene they have no choice but to try and get along, that they begin to see each other for who they really are.
What I particularly liked about The Sure Thing is that on this trip we see what Alison and Gib can't see. It is that he begins to become just a little more like her, and she in turns begins to loosen up and enjoy life, thus taking on some of Gib's traits. We notice it long before Gib and Alison do. In fact, we actually see it even earlier when Gib apologizes for the incident on the library rooftop. And the screenwriters and Reiner were smart enough to introduce these changes subtly instead of hitting you over the head with them suddenly and having your characters do a 180 degree about face for no particular reason except that it's time for the movie to end.
When The Sure Thing was released, John Cusack did not have a huge list of movie credits. He had been in Sixteen Candles, and although his turn there as Bryce was hilarious, it was not one where you would say, "Who was that fine actor that played Farmer Ted's friend?" The Sure Thing was the first time he had to carry a film, and was one that made many such as myself take notice that there was more to this guy then we had seen previously. He would follow The Sure Thing up with Better Off Dead, a film that has been widely panned by most critics, but is one that I could make a good case for being at least worth watching. Yeah, a review of that film is somewhere in the back of my mind gestating. A couple of years later, when he played Harry in The Journey of Natty Gann, Cusack showed that he wasn't limited to doing comedic roles. And since then, he may very well have been the busiest actor in Hollywood.
Daphne Zuniga's next big role would be in Mel Brook's Spaceballs as Princess Vespa, a hilarious satirical slant on Princess Leia of Star Wars. And although I really liked her in Gross Anatomy, she would go on to mostly make her mark in televison starring in shows such as Melrose Place and One Tree Hill.
What really makes this film work is the final twenty minutes or so. You can have the best journey possible but if it all flat lines at the end it was a wasted trip. And I have to say, it's the best ending possible for a film like this, meaning you may think you know how it's all going to end, but you don't really. It's where smart writing revisits earlier scenes for the big payoff, thus giving more relevance to the fact that what goes around comes around and sometimes it's not so bad after all. And that alone would be enough for me to praise any film, but there very are few romantic comedies that gets everything exactly right. The Sure Thing is about as sure a thing as one can get in this genre, and for that reason alone I have no choice but to render my grade of an A. And if they were all as good as this, I'd never complain.
You can view more of The Sure Thing by using the clips at the bottom of the video screen once you watch the trailer.

Side effects
Complications can occur after laser hair removal, but can be reduced through an understanding of the fundamentals of laser treatment. The goal of laser hair removal is to damage the stem cells in the bulge of the hair follicle by targeting melanin, the endogenous chromophore used by laser and light devices to remove hair. The competing chromophores in the skin and hair—oxyhemoglobin and water—have a decreased absorption of between 690 nm and 1000 nm, thus making this an ideal range for laser and light sources.6 Typical complications include scarring and pigmentary changes; less obvious ones include reticulate erythema and ocular complications (Table 1). Periorbital epilation should be performed with caution until further studies have been undertaken regarding the potential damage to the intraocular structures with this procedure. Until then, patients need to be informed of the rare but potentially serious side effects of this particular laser cosmetic procedure.

I need a way to find out if there are any bottlenecks on my network. I have at least one user that complains about the response time for an email or a dcoument opening when coming from the network. Can Spiceworks run some kind of diagnostics on the network to see if there are any issues?
3 Replies

akp982 is an IT service provider.
Its mainly called user error...
If you have smart switches with SNMP you could use Spiceworks to look at bandwidth charts to see where the traffic is highest.
Also try things like sending a large ping and checking the response time, it maybe something as simple as a dodgy cable.
Sometimes network speed issues on just one machine can be virus or maleware related try running a maleware and AV scan
Hope this helps
Feb 25, 2009 at 7:47 UTC
Sometimes the users just don't understand what is involved, they expect a 30 tab spreadsheet to open as quick as starting a new spreadsheet.
One thing that does come to mind is check that the users that complain do not have any mapped network drives or printers that they can not connect to. For instance, they used to have the F drive mapped to \\Foo\bar but that share no longer exists, or they don't have access to it anymore. I have seen that cause slowdowns, simply Disconnect Network Drive. Same thing with printers,and probably more likely as most users don't pay any attention to them, just use the default.

"I have at least one user that complains about the response time for an email or a dcoument opening when coming from the network. "
If it's one user out of three you may have a network problem but if it is one out of two hundred then it's probably what's already been posted; either user issues or cable issues.
If you have a site wide ant-virus solution then you can probably take virus infections out of the scenario but not necessarily; depends on how good your protection is.
I have also in the past run into a situation where a user installed a website on his PC and that slowed his connection down tremendously. That was also before we had hardware appliuances or software to go and look for such things.
If you have "Lightspeed" or something equivalent you might want to look at the type of traffic going to and from that IP address.

So i've seen all the fuss about the reviews and how AC Unity seems to be getting low scores and blah blah blah...so i've decided to make my own review and post it here,if you've played the game and have any complaints about this review feel free to share them.Also if you haven't got the game and wanna ask a question about it,i'll answer it when i have time.
The story is on par with Black Flag,not amazing,but good enough.What really shines here though is the improvements Ubisfot has made.The combat is now an actual challenge and you can't just jump in a place with 100 guards hoping to survive,the feeling of being overpowered has been removed but that doesn't make the game worse,in fact it makes you feel more like an assassin,you're not just a badass running around killing people,you actually gotta think to overcome your oponents.
The graphics are the best i've seen on open world games so far,and the city is huge,i'm almost 5 to 6 hours into the game and haven't even got the Assassin outfit yet.I don't think i've seen the same place twice outside of story missions.
The new controlling scheme takes a while to adapt to but it makes navigation way easier by including the "Parkour Up" and "Parkour Down" buttons,still sometimes Arno just decides he wants to climb on a wall instead of chasing after a guy...but those kinda things are way less frequent than in past games.
The engine is completely changed from what it was in Black Flag/Rogue.This game deserves way more than the 6 and 7s it's been getting.Some improvements just don't work the way they should but they've tried to inovate.Take the Call of Duty series for example,another annual series,hardly any innovation and a poor story and still gets high scores.
AC Unity has an average story but many innovations,maybe some of its potential haven't been achieved,but it is the first game in the new generation of consoles,same way the first AC on PS3 wasn't the best and AC2 is still considered by many the best in the series,i have faith most of the improvements made in this game,will be improved upon in next year's installment.What's important is the innovation it tried to bring.
Don't be fooled this isn't an average game,you may not get engaged in the story as you were with Ezio but it isn't another AC3.AC Unity is good in it's own merit,with many fun things to do even if you don't count story missions.
Haven't experienced multiplayer yet thanks to DNS issues so...can't review that.
Well i ain't gonna attribute a score to this game,i'm gonna list the bad points,and the good ones about the game and you can decide for yourself if it's worth it
Good: (Innovation) (Graphics) (Huge City) (Many Sidequests) (More Freedom In Missions)
Bad: (Falls Short Of It's Potential) (Average Story) (Protagonist Feels Like An Ezio Clone)
So what you think about the game so far,if you played it?
If you didn't,do you plan to after seeing all the reviews and stuff?

Solomon Schechter High School of New York was a coeducational Jewish high school located in the New York City borough of Manhattan. The school, which was affiliated with the Conservative Movement of Judaism and a member of the Solomon Schechter Day School Association, merged in 2006 with the New Jersey-based Schechter Regional High School, to form the Metro Schechter Academy, which in turn closed permanently in 2007. SSHSNY was a laboratory school of the Jewish Theological Seminary, and provided students with a dual general and Judaic studies curriculum.
The school's core curriculum included studies in English, history, math, science, Hebrew, Tanakh (Bible), and Talmud. In addition, students learn foreign language (French or Spanish), the arts, and physical education. A high priority was placed on scientific inquiry, on integrating Jewish and general studies, and on promoting Hebrew both as a living language and as a portal to advanced Jewish study. The core curriculum was complemented by a variety of elective courses in the arts and sciences.
Extracurricular activities
Extracurricular activities included student government, mock trial, yearbook, and sports teams (cross country, soccer, volleyball, basketball, soccer, softball). Community service was an integral part of the school program, and was required for all students in grades 10 and 11.

Biography & autobiography
Dear Leader contains astonishing new insights about North Korea which could only be revealed by someone working high up in the regime. It is also the gripping story of how a member of the inner circle of this enigmatic country became its most courageous, outspoken critic.
Jang Jin - Sung held one of the most senior ranks in North Korea's propaganda machine, helping tighten the regime's grip over its people. Among his tasks were developing the founding myth of North Korea, posing undercover as a South Korean intellectual and writing epic poems in support of the dictator, Kim Jong-il.
Young and ambitious, his patriotic work secured him a bizarre audience with Kim Jong-il himself, thus granting him special status as one of the 'Admitted'. This meant special food provisions, a travel pass and immunity from prosecution and harm. He was privy to state secrets, including military and diplomatic policies, how the devastating 'Scrutiny' was effected and the real position of one of the country's most powerful, elusive men, Im Tong-ok. Because he was praised by the Dear Leader himself, he had every reason to feel satisfied with his lot and safe.
Yet he could not ignore his conscience, or the disparity between his life and that of those he saw starving on the street. After breaking security rules, Jang Jin - Sung, together with a close friend, was forced to flee for his life-away from lies and deceit, towards truth and freedom.
About the Author
Jang Jin - Sung is a former court poet and propagandist, for North Korean leader Kim Jong-il. Since leaving the country he has become a best selling author and media sensation. He has been awarded the Rex Warner Literary Prize and read his poetry at London's cultural Olympiad in 2012. He now lives in South Korea and is editor-in-chief of new focus international, an authoritative website reporting on North Korea.

Infographic: So Is Marvel Destroying DC Comics at the Box Office?
by Ethan Anderton
September 28, 2012
Source: The Daily What
Even as you read the headline, doing a quick checklist in your head, it's clear that Marvel has been beating the hell out of DC Comics at the box office. Obviously the comic house for The Avengers has kicked out many more movies than DC Comics, but the Batman home also has a few you've probably forgotten about (or desperately erased from your memory). Thankfully, Fancy Dress Costumes (via The Daily What) has found a very long infographic comparing the box office history of DC Comics and Marvel's properties that have hit the big screen. While the results aren't surprising, it's a nice visual to see all the figures and films.
Here's the infographic of Marvel vs. DC at the Box Office via The Daily What:
What's almost sad is that DC Comics had a 20 year jump on bringing their first superhero to the big screen. But the action from Marvel lately, especially in bringing Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Incredible Hulk together in their own films before uniting in The Avengers, has done wonders for the studio. DC Comics might have some competition if they ever get their gestating Justice League film off the ground, but they still have a lot of catching up to do (even with the box office behemoths that came from Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. However, quantity doesn't necessarily mean quality. Is there a chance DC Comics films are better than Marvel's, despite not making as much money? Discuss below!

This is a partially working driver i didn't test the tuner, but is certainly able to capture video from svhs or composite in. Audio doesn't work instead -- you have to plug audio cables from your source directly into your sound board's line in. Included is AMcap to help you in the configuration of the video input after the installation. Also remember that you must install this driver paying attention to the tuner you have - choose the tuner from the list yourself, don't let windows do it (wrong! -) ) for you.
It will pop-up three times during install. This is the original driver for a board called provideo pv951. Enjoy!!

If you wish there were more privacy in your front or backyard, a lattice panel fence may be the solution. A lattice panel may be constructed in a variety of ways, from building a gazebo to adding a decorative touch to a fence or deck. You may also use a lattice panel as a trellis for climbing plants such as ivy or clematis.
Sectioning off the pool from the view of surrounding neighbors will not only keep your backyard more private, but also create a relaxing getaway in the backyard. Surround the pool with lattice panels along its length, leaving an open area for access to the pool. The most suitable style lattice for this design is the closer-weaved privacy design, which allows only minimal view. Or use the standard lattice panels. Add to the décor by planting vines and tropical plants within the enclosed portion of the lattice.
If you have an existing wood fence in the yard but don't feel that it offers enough privacy, add more height by installing lattice panels to the top of the fence. Fasten the lattice panel to the top of the fence with galvanized fasteners, which will last years without rusting. A lattice enhancement to the fence will improve the look of the yard.
If you like the idea of privacy but not the thought of being encompassed by solid wood paneling, use a lattice panel as a trellis for a climbing plant such as ivy. Build the lattice panel across the front yard to block the view from the street, and plant several ivy or flowering vine plants next to it. Once the vine has overtaken the lattice panel, you will essentially have a plantlike wall filled with greenery and flowers.
If you have a patio in the backyard, create privacy around the area by installing lattice panel fencing around the perimeters of the cement foundation that serves as your patio. Fencing in the patio will allow you to entertain guests more intimately, especially if you have an open backyard or minimal fencing. Using a lattice panel around the patio will offer the illusion of an outdoor room, which may be used year-round. Complete the look by adding patio furniture, and think about adding an above-ground fire pit in a copper fire bowl to make entertaining in the evening comfortable and luxurious.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I would like to see if I can have the parental rights of my son's biological father terminated. He has not seen his son in over 5+ years and is a convicted felon and drug dealer. My current husband of 4 1/2 years is ready to adopt my son as well. Since I applied for Medicaid, they have contacted the attorney general to try and collect child support from the biological father, however I do not want to start collecting money from him as I believe that will give him some ground to stand on as far as custody and visitation (if he still wants it). I have not spoken to him in 5+ years and he has not contacted me either. I live in Texas and I believe he is living in Illinois. He also did not sign the birth certificate. Do you think it is possible to have his rights terminated?
You should speak with a local family lawyer about your options to involuntarily terminate the biological father's rights and have your husband adopt him. Different family courts in Texas treat these cases differently so it's important that you speak with a local attorney.Ask a similar question
In all cases involving children, the court is obligated to do whatever it finds is in the best interest of the children. If you ask a court to terminate his parental rights, you need to be prepared to show that terminating his rights is in the best interest of your son. The fact that your husband is willing to adopt him would help your case. Cases such as this are very dependent on the surrounding facts, so I recommend you visit with an attorney experienced in this area and give him or her all the facts you can think of.
This is a general answer and does not constitute legal advice. By answering this question, I am not creating an attorney/client relationship, and no such relationship will be created unless a representation agreement is signed by both you and me.Ask a similar question

Creekside Middle School softball star a rare recruit
By Mark Ambrogi
Stormy Kotzelnick won't turn 14 until Dec. 29, yet she already has plotted her college future.
The Creekside Middle School eighth-grader became the first softball player nationally to make a commitment for the class of 2020 when she accepted the University of Washington's offer of a full scholarship in September. College coaches are not permitted to comment on a player's commitment until the athlete signs a national letter-of-intent. For Stormy, that time won't come her senior year at Carmel High School.
"Normally the youngest players to get offered are pitchers and they're the first to go," said her father, John Kotzelnick. "It's rarest of situations that a player other than a pitcher has been recruited as a eighth-grader."
Stormy mainly plays third base for the Beverly Bandits (from Chicago), but she has also played second base, shortstop and outfield. Heather Tarr, a former Huskies player, is in her 12th season as Washington coach, winning the national title in 2009. John said Tarr has 11 years remaining on her contract.
"I've been on several other school's campuses and many unofficial visits," Stormy said. "This one was special to me. As soon as I stepped on the campus, I got the feeling this is where I want my new home to be. Another that made me know in five years I want to go there is the coach, Heather Tarr, is amazing. I never met anyone like that. She is so inspiring. She inspires me every time I talk to her to be getting better."
Arizona State and Oregon also were recruiting Stormy heavily.
Stormy said she didn't feel pressured by any college to make a decision.
"This is such a good fit for me, and my parents did help me with this decision," she said.
John was impressed SuperScholar lists Washington as the No. 1 softball program nationally, based on academics and athletics.
"It was a no-brainer decision for me after talking with other schools," John said. "It all just made sense."
Stormy, who has a 3.4 GPA in eighth grade, is thinking about majoring in health science or sports medicine.
"I thought it was kind of far away at first," her mother, Kathy, said. "But once I got there and met the coach, she really cares about the kids."
Stormy, who is nearly 5-foot-4 and is projected to grow three more inches, also plans to play basketball in high school. Her mother, whose maiden name is Miller, was a top girls basketball and softball player at CHS, graduating in 1988. John played basketball at Lincoln (Ill.) College and St. Leo's (Fla.) University.
"I'm blessed to have parents with athletic ability which has come to me," Stormy said.


text: Last night was Halloween, and it was... alright. I, being to old to beg for free food, handed out candy, and I came to the realization that my neighborhood has almost no children left in it. Through out the night, only about 12 people showed up and of those 12 people about 5 or 6 of them were just one large family trick-or-treating. It's slightly depressing to think that no one really cares anymore. It is odd that when I was younger I'd go house to house asking for candy, I never really saw anyone else trick or treating, but now that I am handing out candy I see how small and how their isn't that many kids in my neighborhood.

EliteCon is everything you want in a collectibles convention, and nothing you don't.
EliteCon is a premium collectibles marketplace, catering specifically to advanced collectors of certified and raw comic books, toys, Pops!, Legos, and pop-culture related artwork. We strive to recruit only the finest collectibles vendors to meet the demands of our discriminating attendees. Our vendors are asked to bring only uncommon, desirable, and hard-to-find material in the $50-$50,000 price range. We also ask our attendees to fill out a survey as part of the registration process, on their collecting focus(es) and buying habits. We aggregate the responses from all of our attendees and provide it to our vendors several weeks before the convention, so they can better tailor their show inventory to you, the customer.
And unlike other conventions, we encourage attendees to bring material to the show to trade or sell, either directly to our vendors or to other attendees. While we know many collectors don't have any interest in becoming dealers, we all have items that drift out of our collecting focus or are upgrades or duplicates to others we already own ...EliteCon can help you pass along those items in a free and open marketplace atmosphere.

Precocious talent doesn't come the Cubs' way too often. It seems that every breakout performance by a young player who tempts the gods by teasing at elite production is summarily followed by a trail of tears leading down tragic paths like "Shoulder Injury" and "Impatient Hacking".
Following in the prospect footsteps of guys like Mark Prior and Corey Patterson Starlin Castro cratered after an impressive 3 year start to his career. We know the songs and the verses from last year, .347 SLG, 70 wRC+, big jump in K% -0.1 fWAR, all tied in with mental lapses on defense to create a depressing 2013 for Castro.
Here is a heat map showing where Castro hit the ball last year (all graphics courtesy of mlbfarm.com)
That's not a pretty picture. By comparison let's look at Hanley Ramirez's heat map from 2013.
You'll notice a spray chart with more balls being hit into the outfield with authority for Hanley compared to the groundouts Castro generated. Perhaps Hanley isn't a fair comp. Let's compare Castro to Andrelton Simmons:
Again, we see a healthy spray of hits with good distribution that really makes Castro's heat map look anemic. There was a lot made of how the Cubs may have confused their young shortstop with a change in approach. Castro is a reactionary quick twitch hitter with pretty good plate coverage. The Cubs attempted to make him into a more patient player and it did not work out very well. I do believe that if Castro returns to his old approach he will regain some of the losses he sustained in 2013.
Hope is pretty hard to find among the shambles of this franchise. I don't like to peddle false hope around as I think doing so undercuts my purpose on this blog. I do feel an obligation to provide readers with an honest assessment of what's happening with the Cubs.
However, there is some optimism to be had from a few different sources regarding Starlin Castro. Let's start with Baseball Prospectus's projection for Castro.
- 651 PAs
- .280/.318/.411
Here's what ZIPS has for Castro across the same stats:
- 683 PAs
- .280/.319/.413
- 3.0 zWAR
And here's what Steamer has for Castro
- 604 PAs
- .277/.320/.411
- 2.6 fWAR
Average that out and you have a player who slashes .279/.319/.412 with 50 XBH a 4.62 BB% against a 16.45 K% all while playing shortstop. The thing to remember (especially with PECOTA) is that these are the most likely outcomes with wiggle room either way. Given that valuation, the projections present a decent package. It's not the superstar level production we were all predicting at the start of the 2013 season by any means. It is, however, a marked improvement over the valley that Castro sunk to over that stretch. All projections have him taking a major step forward from last year and improving in virtually every statistical category.
I don't think either projection is made with rose colored glasses either. Those are very realistic and perhaps conservative estimates for the level of production Castro can return to without too many voices pulling him in too many different directions. I've long thought that he had .320/.360/.470 potential. That estimation took a hit last year and he'll have to work to earn it back but I'm pleased that the projection models think he can return to form. There's also room to grow with a young 24 year old player. Age is still on Castro's side and early career struggles are a fact of baseball life for many players. A lot of people forget how players like Robin Yount and Alan Trammell struggled in their age 23 seasons. I'm not saying it's an absolute certainty that Castro will improve, but writing him off this early was always folly.
Javier Baez is looming in the minors and this will be a key year for Starlin and the Cubs organization. If he struggles again all year it's all but certain that Javier Baez will get a crack at becoming the Cubs' long term solution at short. Castro has a pretty tradeable contract that will still entice teams willing to bet on the upside. PECOTA, ZIPS, Steamer and myself believe in the polarizing shortstop, but ultimately it'll be up to him to produce.
