Kaine Homes (http://www.kainehomes.com)
We're a small home building company that's being building communities in the Washingtion DC burbs for over 50 years.
This is designed for real estate agents.
Home buyers are using agents more than ever in our area and we find ourselves competing against previously owned homes (resales) because they offer a quicker turn around time for the agents commission as the agent doesn't have to wait for the house to be built and settlement to take place.
We're changing that paradigm with the following program:
More = we're offering a quarter point more on the buyers commission for a total of 3.25%
MONEY = We will pay a $2,000 bonus for the second buyer an agent brings to us within a year of the first contract signing, and another $10,000 for the third buyer an agent brings to us within a year of the first contract signing.
NOW = The agent now gets their money when we break ground to start building the house.

Matador Alcove is a place where men get to be, well, men.
One step into the place and it's clear: top-shelf liquor prominently displayed on a bar, sports flickering on a television and plenty of dark, richly colored furniture and decor, including the key leather couch.
A cave-like wooden door halts visitors, who, like at an underground speakeasy, must display the secret knock in order to be let in.
Talk about a dream mancave.
The mastermind is Costa Mesa resident David Zimmerman, 52. He opened the private gentleman's club — a cross between a hair salon and social club — at 333 E. 17th St. #4 about five years ago, coming up with the idea with stylist John Alanouf.
The name and the decor stem from a youth soccer club Zimmerman ran years ago, called the Toros. His office back then was filled with matador paintings and bull horns, many of which were gifts from the parents.
"I wanted a name with Latin flavor," he said. Matador means "the killer" in Spanish and alcove, or "little opening," depicts the space accurately.
Fittingly, several pieces of artwork feature matadors and bulls, and a bull's horn adorns one wall. Much of it stems from the Toros.
Now, the entrepreneur has taken his style and gentlemanly sensibilities to design the club's first men's shoe line, appropriately called Bull + Tassel.
"I made them for myself," said Zimmerman, donning a rather stylish outfit of a button-down white shirt, gray plaid vest, multi-colored tie, dark slacks and, of course, his own pair of Bull + Tassels on a recent Friday at Matador Alcove. "I started wearing them, and everyone loved them."
Most designer tuxedo slippers "hurt," he noted, holding a Ralph Lauren tuxedo slipper he used to wear. They offer little comfort, so he revamped his beloved shoe, adding cushion and a rubber bottom.
People noticed the prototypes he was wearing; many wanted to know where they could nab a pair.
"I was stopped by people everywhere I went," he said. "At Neiman Marcus, in Europe — I wore them in a Ralph Lauren store in Paris — walking the streets in Paris...people noticed them and asked me about them."
That led Zimmerman to design the line, which he officially launched in October with three styles: the Skip (a white shoe with light blue repp stripes and an embroidered anchor on the toe), the Biff (navy shoe with white repp stripes and a red Bull + Tassel logo embroidered on the front) and the Glen (a gray, white and red plaid pattern with black trim).
The name "stands for strength and refinement; two traits that should define the modern gentleman, no matter what manner of living he decides to pursue," according to the website.
They clean up nicely and can handle getting a bit wet, Zimmerman said. They're a yachter's shoe, he added.
In the world of designer shoes that often can run in the $500 range for velvet tux slippers, Zimmerman took his shoe line one step further, selling a pair for a mere $195. The line is sold at Matador Alcove and through http://www.bullandtassel.com.
Zimmerman, a former semi-pro soccer player, has so far gotten positive reviews. He has several Bull + Tassel prototype shoes in his personal collection. More styles are in the works for retail in the future.
He and wife, Patty Zimmerman, are rooted in Newport-Mesa. They opened Shanghai Salon about nine years ago and grew up in the area, both graduates of Newport Harbor High School.
Zimmerman and Alanouf, who has been in the hair business for some 15 years, saw the need for a guys' place while at Shanghai.
"My old office [in Shanghai] had all this stuff in it: a bar and projection screen," Zimmerman said. "John said, 'Why don't you put chairs in here?'... that's how the idea and whole concept came about. Guys love coming and hanging out, and it's kind of an old club."
Merv Griffin's former personal stylist, Dean Tompkins, also is a stylist there now. He just walked in and asked if they needed someone, Zimmerman said.
Hair is just one piece of Matador Alcove. The big part is the social club aspect, or societies, as Zimmerman calls them. Just about any society exists: a society of thinkers, artists, auto enthusiasts and even a tasting society (food or wine and such). Zimmerman said there are about five to 10 societies right now.
"If someone expresses an interest, we go out and create a society around it," Zimmerman said.
About 300 members are part of Matador Alcove. Membership prices range.
"It depends on your involvement," he said.
There's the monthly hair membership that affords members "proper" cuts, and then there's the social club membership. A mid-range membership is about $500 a year, he said. Other levels of membership exist, including junior ones for youth.
Zimmerman was mum on details about members, but did say one is an Indy race car driver and another is a master tequila creator. Rock stars are members as well, according to Zimmerman.
"They come from all walks of life," he said, shortly before a man walked in wheeling a baby stroller to get his haircut.
Membership and knowledge of the place grew from "word of mouth, really," starting with about 100 members. "It's about building a community of guys," he said.
Two salons, a men's social club, shoes — what's next? More shoes under the Bull + Tassel line, Zimmerman said.
"There's so much I'd like to do...right now, I need to start talking to people financially and I'm open to that," he said. "I'm more of a designer, not operations necessarily."
What he does isn't all about fashion, although he's been exposed to trends in Europe from traveling and his days of soccer over there. That gave him a more gentlemanly approach to his tastes and likes.
"Men are taking pride in how they look," he said, citing retired Japanese soccer player Hidetoshi Nakata, who often appears at runway shows and sports designer threads.
And yes, sometimes, Zimmerman is the guy they turn to guide them on style.

Harvard University researchers' recent studies of how brain cells form visual system connections revealed an unexpected finding: a family of immune system molecules appears to play a critical role in directing the process. The molecule family is called major histocompatability class I (MHC I). In the immune system, these molecules identify and trap an invading pathogen and display it to certain innate immune cells so that they can orchestrate an immune attack. Now, it turns out, MHC I molecules are apparently involved in the development of synapses that enable brain cells to communicate with one another.
According to the researchers, it is essential to learn more about this gene family in both normal function and dysfunction of the central nervous system. The investigators hypothesize that MHC I genes are involved in modeling brain cell synapses during brain development, and re-modeling of some synapses (called "plasticity") that can occur throughout life.
Their preliminary evidence suggests that subsets of brain cells have a receptor on their surface that binds to these MHC I molecules. The researchers plan to investigate the functions of this class of molecules in normal brain development and to determine how these brain cell subsets also may be more vulnerable to degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
To explore the role in the brain of these previously identified "immune system" molecules, the researchers will undertake three studies in mice. First, they will identify the family members of the MHC I genes involved in the central nervous system, and determine whether these genes are distinct from classical MHC I genes found in the immune system. Next, the investigators will examine whether a single neuron expresses multiple MHC I genes, and whether certain MHC I genes are restricted to certain types of brain cells. Then, the researchers will explore the role of the MHC I genes in growth and termination of brain cell synapses in the visual system. They will compare normal mice to those with MHC I mutations to explore whether the mutant mice have unstable MHC I expression, or lack MHC I signaling, which prevents nerve cell axons from projecting from the retina to the thalamus in the precise way needed for producing visual function.
Significance: Through this three-step animal study, the investigators will determine whether MHC I molecules function at neuronal synapses and participate in synapse formation and stabilization. If so, the research should provide new information on how MHC I molecules function normally in the central nervous system, and also how these molecules may participate in degenerative diseases that destroy nerve cell connections.
The specific goal of this research project is to examine the hypothesis that activity-dependent synaptic remodeling in development, and synaptic plasticity in the adult hippocampus, involve a family of molecules with well-known function in the immune system: MHC Class I genes (the HLA genes in humans).
We discovered neuronal MHC Class I (MHC I) mRNA expression unexpectedly in an unbiased PCR-based differential screen for genes regulated by the spontaneous neural activity present in the developing visual system (Corriveau et al, 1998). In the healthy brain, MHCI genes are dynamically regulated in neurons during development, and expression remains high in specific regions of adult brain, including hippocampus. mRNA for the Beta 2 microglobulin (β2m) light chain, required for cell surface expression of most MHC Class I proteins, is also present in neurons. In a preliminary search for potential Class I MHC receptors, subsets of neurons were also found to express mRNA for CD3 zeta (CD3ζ) (Corriveau et al, 1998), a required signaling component of immune receptors known to bind MHCI, including the T cell receptor (TCR). Recently, we have also discovered a novel unrecombined TCR transcript expressed in subsets of neurons (Syken and Shatz, 2003).
Genetic studies in my lab have revealed a functional requirement for Class I MHC in CNS development and plasticity (Huh et al, 2000). Experiments were performed in mice with a deletion of the gene encoding β2m, or in double mutant mice also lacking TAP1 (required for the loading of peptide into Class I MHC). In addition, CD3ζ knockout mice were studied. All mutants, but not wildtypes on the same genetic background, share significant defects in developmental remodeling of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons in the LGN that resemble deficits known to result from blocking neural activity directly. In addition, hippocampal synaptic plasticity in adult mutant mice is abnormal: long term potentiation (LTP) is enhanced and long term depression (LTD) is absent. The phenotypes of all these mice are consistent with the hypothesis that neuronal MHC Class I proteins, possibly signaling via a CD3ζ-containing Class I MHC receptor, are involved in synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus and structural regression of synapses during development. This purpose of this study is to learn more about how Class I MHC functions in the normal, uninjured CNS
Through this study, we plan to learn more about the distribution and function of Class I MHC in the normal mammalian CNS. In the clinical context, however, it should be noted that the presence of MHC1 in neurons also suggests new approaches to the study and treatment of neurological disorders, including and beyond those with known or suspected autoimmune components. For example, the molecular diversity implied by complex expression of various Class I MHC family members could help to explain the selective vulnerability of subsets of neurons in neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's or ALS in view of the fact that nigral neurons and motoneurons express MHC Class I (see Boulanger et al, 2001).
A number of diseases are known to be linked genetically to MHC1 (HLA in humans) including multiple sclerosis, ALS, certain ataxias, narcolepsy, Parkinson's, dyslexia, autism, and schizophrenia. Perhaps even more provocative, it is well known that cytokines can upregulate MHC Class I cell surface expression in neurons, implying that dysregulation of normal MHCI expression might occur in viral infections where cytokine levels are often high. To what extent Class I MHC expression contributes to the cause or course of these disorders is currently unknown (see Darnell, 1998). It is clearly essential to learn more about this gene family, both in normal function and in dysfunction of the CNS.

Proxy Advisers Pressed for More Transparency
Proxy advisory firms are being pressed for more information by companies, governance experts and investors about how they come up with their shareholder recommendations.
As public U.S. companies head into the third year of "say-on-pay" shareholder advisory votes, the biggest proxy firms, Institutional Shareholder Services and Glass Lewis, are changing some key policies in their executive compensation assessments, including how they construct peer groups for pay comparisons and incorporating analysis of the pay an executive could actually take home in a given year, in addition to the pay data companies are required to provide each year.
"The real issue is whether these voting recommendation policies really create shareholder value or not," David Larcker, a professor at Stanford University's Rock Center for Corporate Governance, said at a an event organized by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington D. C. this week. Larcker advocated more testing of the performance of proxy firms rules.

Contact: Karen V. Gregory, Secretary (202-523-5725)
At its meeting on December 8, 2010, the Commission considered and approved for immediate action a number of recommendations contained in the Interim Report for Fact Finding Investigation No. 27. The Commission initiated this non-adjudicatory investigation on June 23, 2010, to develop a record on the nature, scope and frequency of potentially unfair, unlawful or deceptive practices in the shipping of household goods or personal property within the Commission's jurisdiction. Commissioner Michael A. Khouri, the Fact Finding Officer, presented the Fact Finding Team's preliminary observations and conclusions about the nature and scope of the problem, recommendations for immediate action, and topics for further development.
Each year, the FMC receives a substantial number of complaints from individuals that have experienced various problems with their international household goods shipment. Between 2005 and 2009, the Commission received over 2,500 such consumer complaints related to household goods moving companies transporting personal effects and vehicles between various locations in the United States and foreign destinations. Typical complaints allege failure to deliver the cargo and refusal to return the pre-paid ocean freight; loss of the cargo; significant delay in delivery; charges to the shipper for marine insurance that was never obtained; misinformation as to the whereabouts of the cargo; significantly inflated charges after the cargo was tendered and threats to withhold the shipment unless the increased freight was paid; or failure to pay the common carrier engaged by the company as another intermediary. In many cases, a shipper has been forced to pay another carrier or warehouse a second time in order to have the cargo released.
During the first phase of the Fact Finding, the Team interviewed individual shippers, ocean transportation intermediaries (OTIs), local and national trade associations representing OTIs and household goods movers, vessel operating common carriers, and other government agencies. The Fact Finding Team conducted interviews and meetings in Washington, DC, New York, NY, Miami, FL, and San Diego, CA. The Fact Finding Team identified two distinct and separate cargo trades: 1) the international movement of household goods for relocation by individuals who use the internet to find a moving service or the "internet-based market"; and 2) the "barrel trade" where individuals -- primarily from various local communities -- send small shipments of personal goods to relatives or friends in their home countries in Latin America and the Caribbean Basin on a semi-regular basis.
Commissioner Khouri presented the following recommendations for immediate action, which were approved by the Commission:
Consumer Education:
Industry "Best Practices" and Model Forms:
Licensing Issues:
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR):
Additional options will be developed for consideration by the Commission during the second phase of the investigation and will be addressed in the February 15, 2011 Final Report.
Commissioner Khouri stated that "I am pleased that the Commission undertook this investigation because it seeks to address a consumer protection issue that affects many average citizens who are most often first-time or very occasional users of international shipping services. The steps approved by the Commission today will result in the immediate focus of agency resources on educating and assisting consumers, facilitating industry 'best practices', and targeting enforcement efforts on rogue household goods movers. I look forward to developing additional measures to protect the shipping public during the second phase of this investigation."
Chairman Richard A. Lidinsky, Jr. said: "Commissioner Khouri and his team members have produced excellent findings and recommendations that will significantly advance the Commission's mission to protect the public from unfair and deceptive practices. I look forward to working to implement these thoughtful measures, and to the team's final report in February."
The Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) is the independent federal agency responsible for regulating the nation's international ocean transportation for the benefit of exporters, importers, and the American consumer. The FMC's mission is to foster a fair, efficient, and reliable international ocean transportation system while protecting the public from unfair and deceptive practices.

I've posted a long explanation of what I've been up to on my webcomic site. Lots of changes afoot: http://quarterlystories.com/a-much-needed-update/
Category Archives: Uncategorized
The Next Big Thing is a global blog tour, started in Australia, to showcase authors and illustrators and their current work. I was tagged by my friend, fellow illustrator, rock n'roller Kevin Cross, fans and friends of mine might recognize him from the podcast Big Illustration Party Time which he co-hosts with me! After I answer the interview questions, I'll pass the Q&A along to some others who'll pick up the tour and have their Next Big Thing's posted by August 6th, 2013.
My Next Big Thing is my in progress graphic novel, that I'm serializing at QuarterlyStories.com
1) What is the working title of your next book?
I hope to release it serialized online at QuarterlyStories.com
I then hope to release a series of comics, each containing two stories that function on their own and also function as chapters in the overall narrative for the graphic novel. These comics will be titled "Two Stories"
The full graphic novel will be called "Quarterly Stories"
2) Where did the idea come from for the book?
The idea for the book came about when I was working on my final show and thesis for my MFA in Illustration at CSULB, which forced me to really think long and hard about what I loved about comics, and what I really wanted to say. It turns out, I love creating confessional autobiographical works. I felt that there were issues that people rarely discuss with openness and honesty about mental disorders, depravity and faith which I was really wanting to talk about, and thus, Quarterly Stories was born.
3) In what genre does your book fall?
Literary Non-fiction.
4) What actors would you choose to play the part of your characters in a movie rendition?
I'm mainly hoping to make it function alone as a comic. There are things that can be done in comics which film can't do, and I'm planning to implement those things to the fullest. Assuming it was adaptable to film, and to play ball with the next big thing:
Since it's autobiographical, possibly a young Steve Buscemi as the main character. I'm a scrawny fellow, with particularly large eyes, so that might wind up working out. The only celebrities folks ever seemed to think I looked like was Tobey Maguire and Steve Buscemi, and I tend to think I'm much more on the Steve Buscemi side. Plus, there's lots of subtle humor and acting with the character, so I think Steve would fit it best.
5) What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
Forced to confront the fact that his life isn't working out like he planned it, a young artist struggles to escape severe depression after his fiance leaves to move to a different state, causing him to look for ways to fix his relationships and find purpose for his life, and ultimately finding them in an unexpected, shocking, and candid autobiographical journey of faith, love and friendship.
6) Who is publishing your book?
At this point, I'm still in the process of creating the work. I'm serializing the story as I create it on QuarterlyStories.com, then planning to release each comic, titled Two Stories, as a limited run comic in the store section of the site, which I'm probably going to self publish, but if other options arise, I'll consider them. Once the book is finished (this might take years to do), I'll then be shopping it to publishers.
7) How long did it take you to write the first draft of the manuscript?
It takes quite a bit of back and forth with revisions, ect. However, I'm writing each story before executing it, then going through rounds of revisions, as I go. So, basically, each chapter takes a few weeks to complete in the writing stage, then I start creating the comics. The over all arc is worked out as well.
8) What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?
I believe this will be similar to a lot of the autobiographical work featured in RAW, Blankets by Craig Thomson, and Fun Home by Allison Bechdel. There's a huge influence from American Splendor by Harvey Pekar.
9) Who or what inspired you to write this book?
My wife, my family, and God.
10) What else about the book might pique the reader's interest?
It's an extremely honest, embarrassingly candid, and truthful account of what it is like to suffer from mental illness. It's also dark, humorous, and will definitely appeal to anyone who's into strongly constructed non-fiction human narratives, philosophy, and comics as a literary art form. It's all about total depravity and redemption. Lastly, I think for anyone who's struggled with depression, or who didn't fit in with the cool kids, this book will ring true. Lastly, it's definitely not for kids, as it's got a lot of adult subject matter, and heavier themes.
You can read the comic here: www.quarterlystories.com
You can also GREATLY support it, by writing a review, subscribing to it, or donating by clicking the donate button on the site. All of this will help see this project through to completion.
That's it! Now its time to tag some other rad and talented people. Please stop by the following blogs Tuesday, August 6th, 2013 for their Next Big Thing:

Scouts Canada
Scouts Canada, a not for profit organization, is the country's leading youth organization offering challenging programs for boys and girls ages 5 – 26 in thousands of individual groups in most cities and towns across Canada. Over 74,000 young people enjoy Scout Canada's programs, which are provided by 23,000 caring and dedicated volunteers. We offer programs for seven distinct groups:
• Beavers – Boys and Girls 5-7
• Cubs- Boys and Girls 8-10
• Scouts – Boys and Girls 11-14
• Venturers -Young Men and Women 14-17
• Rovers - Men and Women 18-26
• Scouts About – Girls and Boys 5-10
• Extreme Adventure – Young Men and Women 14- 17
In 2009 we brought forth an aggressive Action Plan to grow our membership. For more background information on our programs and our Action Plan please visit our website at http://www.scouts.ca. We are looking to replace our current t- shirt design which has been in place for the last 7 years with a dynamic, fun and modern design. We'll introduce a hoodie as well.
This uniform item will be purchased and worn by both male and female members between the ages of 11 – 26. We want a youthful design that is attractive to our younger members and represents our organization.It will be printed on the t-shirts shown in photo 34311.jpg replacing the text. Our members will wear a neckerchief (39187-197 copy.jpg) with the t-shirt and some will also wear a vest (40540.jpg). See attached pictures. The design will not be printed on those items. We intend to produce a hoodie with the same design as well.
Please visit http://www.scoutshop.ca to view more of our current designs. We feel we need something radically different.... fresh, bold, exciting.
The UK Scouts have recently launched the i.SCOUT line of activity wear, for reference please visit http://www.scoutshops.com. (We like the UK font too.)
The same design would need to be applied onto three different colored t-shirts and hoodies. The short sleeve t-shirts that we have selected are from AAA (Alstyle Apparel and Activewear, website http://www.alstyle.com) and the colors are as follows:

The designs would be screen printed.
We are prepared to look at designs that incorporate more than one colour.
The design location should be limited to the front of the t-shirt.
We would like to see a cutting edge design. It should in some way incorporate a fleur-de-lis, maple leaf and the brand name Scouts Canada, but they certainly do not need to be dominant. Be creative and imagine yourself as a Scout participating in adventurous programs that contribute to personal growth. The design needs to reflect adventure, discovery, and youthful energy.

MDT/UML2/Getting Started with UML2
Copyright © 2004, 2011 International Business Machines Corp. and CEA
This article describes how to get started with the UML2 plug-ins for Eclipse. In particular, it gives an overview of how to create models (and their contents) both programmatically and by using the sample UML editor.
Kenn Hussey and James Bruck Last Updated: October 12, 2011
To start using UML2 (and to follow along with the example in this article), you must have Eclipse, EMF, and UML2 installed. You can either download the Modeling Tools Package or follow these steps:
- Download and run Eclipse.
- Select the Help > Install New Software… menu item.
- Select a software site to work with, e.g., Indigo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo.
- Expand the Modeling tree item.
- Select UML2 Extender SDK and press the Next > button.
- Review the install details and press the Next > button.
- Accept the terms of the license agreement and press the Finish button.
- Restart Eclipse when prompted to do so.
At this stage, UML2 and all dependencies should be installed.
This article will walk you through the basics of creating models using UML2. Using a simple model (the ExtendedPO2 model, shamelessly "borrowed" from the EMF "bible" [1]) as an example, we'll look at what's involved in creating some of the more common elements that make up a model. For each type of element, we'll first explain the creation process using the sample UML editor and then explore how to accomplish the same thing using Java code. The ExtendedPO2 model is shown below.
Getting Started
Before getting started, you'll need to create a simple project in your workspace. This project will serve as the container for the model that we'll create using the UML editor. To create a simple project for this article, follow these steps:
- Select the Window > Open Perspective > Other… menu item.
- Select the Resource perspective and press the OK button.
- Select the File > New > Project... menu item.
- Select the Project wizard from the General category and press the Next > button.
- Enter a project name (i.e. "Getting Started with UML2") and press the Finish button.
At this point your workspace should look something like this:
OK, that should be enough to get us going with the UML editor. Now, to follow along with the programmatic approach to creating models, we'll assume that you've created a class (named, say, "GettingStartedWithUML2") in which you can write some code to construct our sample model. The code snippets we'll show assume you've defined the following utility methods to give the user information on the program's status:
public static boolean DEBUG = true; protected static void out(String output) { if (DEBUG) { System.out.println(output); } } protected static void err(String error) { System.err.println(error); }
A static debug flag can be used to enable or disable verbose information printed to the system's output stream. Errors will always be printed to the system's error stream.
All righty then! In each of the following subsections, we'll look at how to create a different kind of UML element, starting with models.

Subscribe To Great Debate: Is Eddie Murphy's Comeback Still Possible? Updates
I've already subscribed
Just four months ago, a comeback for Eddie Murphy seemed not just possible, but likely. He was co-starring opposite Ben Stiller in Tower Heist, the first movie he'd made in years that got anything from critics but outright disdain, and he was set to host the Oscars, a chance to return to his stand-up roots and remind millions of people how funny he could still be. But that all fell apart with astonishing speed, when Tower Heist disappointed at the box office and Murphy bailed on the Oscar gig after Brett Ratner was fired as a producer.
Now that the dust has settled from all of that, Murphy is back in theaters with A Thousand Words, a comedy filmed back in 2008 that, based on clips, seems to be the same watered-down humor we've been getting from Murphy for years. So with his big Oscar chance gone, is Eddie Murphy's comeback over before it could even start? Kristy and Mack got together to argue about just that, with Mack a Murphy diehard who believes anything is still possible, and Kristy too burned by the awful movies to have faith in him anymore. Check out their Great Debate below, and vote in the poll to let us know who you think is right.
MACK: After Tower Heist was released last November, people began tripping all over themselves to tell the world Eddie Murphy was back. Now, four months later, many of those same people have used the Thousand Words trailer to declare him dead. I don't understand why there's suddenly so much negativity. Whether this movie winds up sucking or not, I know Eddie Murphy has more than a few great movies left in him.
?KRISTY:? See, because I've seen Tower Heist I have no faith left in him. I wanted that to be his comeback too, but it was awful.
MACK: That's where we disagree. As an entire film, I found Tower Heist to be disappointing, but there were several five minute bursts in which Eddie simply outclassed and outperformed his co-stars. There's plenty of blame to assign for why Tower Heist wasn't better, but I have a hard time putting any of it at Eddie's feet.
?KRISTY:? I didn't find him funny at all. His approach to Tower Heist seemed to be "more yelling means more funny." I was not only not amused, I was disappointed. Saying he was better than the rest isn't saying much. He used to be incredibly funny. But my love of Beverly Hills Cop 1-3, and Coming to America isn't enough for me to ignore that he hasn't done anything exceptional outside of his voice work for more than 20 years.
MACK: I'm more than willing to admit Eddie has made a lot of horrible movies in the past two decades. Frankly, some of them were unwatchable, but being a horrible decision maker and suddenly sucking at acting are two entirely different faults.
?KRISTY:? But he's guilty of both. I think he doesn't care anymore about making a good product, and its affected his performance. There was an enthusiasm to his earlier movies, and I don't feel that anymore. Norbit, The Nutty Professor etc. all feel like paycheck movies. They practically exude a contempt toward the audience. Like they say, "You don't deserve any better."
MACK: Paycheck movies? Maybe. But a lack of enthusiasm? No way. Take Saturday Night Live as an example. Will Ferrell was in hundreds of absolutely horrible sketches. At the end of the day, were those sketches his fault or the writers? You see a movie like A Thousand Words and say, "Wow, Eddie Murphy has fallen." I see a movie like A Thousand Words and I think, "How awful would this be without Eddie?"
?KRISTY:? After Tower Heist, I'm done. I've been burned too many times before. I mean his bad comedies are so bad that they have become common fodder on 30 Rock as the kind of choices a total hack makes. And rightly so. He's lost his integrity. I think he lost momentum as soon as he tried to go family friendly, and aside from the Shrek movies the result is lazy comedy.
MACK: Look: there are very few comedians who we can fairly call brilliant. I think we can both agree, at least during the early 1980s, Eddie Murphy belonged in that category.
?KRISTY:? But I haven't felt that way in ages.
MACK: But people don't lose their talent. They just lose their ways.
?KRISTY:? They most certainly lose motivation to use it though. He was nominated for an Oscar in 2006, and followed it up with Norbit. I don't know a bigger way to say "fuck you" to movie lovers.
MACK: But doing something for money and being incapable of doing something are totally different things.
KRISTY:? I'm not arguing Murphy couldn't be great again. I'm saying he won't because he doesn't care.
MACK: And that's where I disagree. He might not care at times, but given a great script, he has the talent to be wonderful. You've already admitted that. So, it's just about finding the right script. You're telling me Eddie will never come across a good script again?
?KRISTY:? Why would anyone trust him with a great script? Some of his peers look to explore their craft--like Bill Murray who took on dramas and offbeat comedies--some don't. Like Dan Aykroyd is hanging on to relevance by relentlessly pursuing Ghostbusters 3, which would likely mar the former films just as Blues Brothers 2000 did. He's going more the way of the latter than the former.
MACK: That's fine. I'm not trying to defend all of the choices Eddie has made. He's picked a lot of terrible movies. He's not Bill Murray, but he is every bit as wonderful and captivating with the right material. I would never, ever write Eddie Murphy off even if he made another 10 bad movies.
?KRISTY:? Wow. See, I do miss the Eddie Murphy we all saw in the 80s', but he's gone so far from what I found exciting about him. Outside of playing cartoon characters, I've totally lost interest in him. And I don't think I'm alone.
MACK: I don't think you're alone either, but talent has always been and will always be more important than drive.
?KRISTY:? Well, what would you like to see Murphy do? And what does he have?
MACK: Eddie has the ability to make every other person on the screen disappear. When he's on, I, like most other people, could listen to him talk for hours. He's that good. He's not Adam Sandler good or Chris Farley good. He's Chevy Chase during the last 70s and early 80s good. So, what I want from Eddie is 5 more incredible movies before he retires. I don't care if they're mixed in with 15 shitty ones. It doesn't matter. I'll keep showing up because I know one day, he's going to make something else every bit as masterful and hilarious as Beverly Hills Cop.
?KRISTY:? But what kind of movies would those be? For me, he'd have to go R-rated again before I'd even consider seeing it.
MACK: Sure. I'm all for Eddie spewing f-words. You think he'll never go that route again, right?
?KRISTY:? I think he lost his way when he went family-friendly/more marketable. But we've somehow sidestepped this issue: Do you think A Thousand Words will be good?
MACK: Meh. I think it'll probably be okay, but once again, I don't think Eddie will be the problem.
?KRISTY:? And I don't think he'll be its savior.
Is Eddie Murphy's comeback still possible?

Hollywood actor Ryan Gosling turned real-life action hero by saving a journalist who was almost mowed down by a taxi.
British writer Laurie Penny was left stunned after actor swooped in to save her when she stepped into a busy New York City street on Tuesday.
Penny immediately took to her Twitter.com page to share her lucky escape with followers and to hail Gosling a hero.
She tweeted, "I literally, LITERALLY just got saved from a car by Ryan Gosling. Literally. That actually just happened. I was crossing 6th Avenue in a new pink wig. Not looking the right way because I am from London. Ryan Gosling grabbed me away from a taxi. … He said, 'Hey, watch out!'"
Penny then joked, "I would also like to thank the several other, more anonymous New Yorkers who have saved me from cars since my stay here."

The team responsible for keeping big wagons, mini-buses, gritters and mobile libraries on the road have been praised by a council watchdog.
Fleet services recently appeared before the council's scrutiny board for resources and council services to report on how they keep around 1,200 vehicles in top condition.
Councillors on the board heard about fleet services plans to replace vehicles, go green with alternative fuels, offer training and apprenticeships, generate income from MOT tests and ensure drivers are fully up to speed with the latest training.
Fleet services plan to replace a wide variety of vehicles throughout 2012/13 to help meet the needs of various council services at a cost of £5.2million.
The service has also been at the forefront of testing new alternative fuelled vehicles. Leeds City Council was the first UK local authority to install its own gas refuelling station and fleet services have continued to explore how greener vehicles operate, how easy they are to maintain and if they are reliable enough to withstand the demands of a busy council service.
While going about their daily business, commercial services have offered work placements, work experience and apprenticeships, helping a total of 45 people.
And as well as keeping council vehicles roadworthy, council mechanics have been offering impartial MOTs to members of the public for everything from cars to buses. An additional MOT testing station has been installed and will be up and running once approved by VOSA.
As an approved training centre, fleet services has also delivered driver certificate in professional competence for HGV drivers to over 1,100 people.
Councillor Pauleen Grahame, chair of the scrutiny board (resources and council services) said:
"Without a fleet of safe, reliable vehicles the council wouldn't be able to deliver a range of vital services to residents. As well as the core role of managing the fleet, it's very encouraging to see the benefits of jobs and apprenticeships offered by the team, the positive impact on the environment from reduced emissions with greener fuels and the opportunity to generate income from providing MOTs to the public.
"We've had a really positive response to the recommendations of the scrutiny board; recommendations we've made have been endorsed and taken up by the team and we're delighted with the progress being made by fleet services."

1. Re: Can Arquillian be configured not to enhance OSGi @Deployments?Thomas Diesler May 3, 2012 4:31 AM (in response to David Bosschaert)1 of 1 people found this helpful
The ARQ deployment is always enhanced - this is because it needs (at least) the test case that it runs.
In the case of an OSGi deployment we also need a boat load of imports to make that work.
If you need more control you can use the Deployer API - have a look at SimpleArquillianDeployerTestCase
2. Re: Can Arquillian be configured not to enhance OSGi @Deployments?David Bosschaert May 3, 2012 6:34 AM (in response to Thomas Diesler)
Thanks Thomas, that helped. In my case the test is actually one that drives the management API, so the test itself is not run from within OSGi, hence I don't need the test enhancement for ones that do. The test simply needs to be able to do a remote deployment of an OSGi bundle as-is.
I found that decorating the annotation with 'testable = false' does the job, i.e. like this:
@Deployment(name = "test-bundle", managed = false, testable = false)
public static JavaArchive createTestBundle() {
return ... the archive ...

Hi everyone,
Traffic analysis plays a big role in watching intruders and tracing unwanted activity.I am going to introduce traffic analysis the home grown way using tcpdump / windump. So here we go
1. Getting Tcpdump /Windump
For linux users tcpdump generally ships with the installation if not get it from
for windows users get windump from
2. Tcpdump/Windump operates by putting the network card into promiscuous mode in order
to capture all the packets going through the wire.
3. Note you have to be root or member of Admininstrative group too run tcpdump/windump.
4. open shell / command prompt type
5. If everthing goes well you will see something like the following
23:21:33.174141 IP 22.214.171.124.53 > maximus.4993: 1 NXDomain 0/1/0 (114) (DF)
23:21:33.236647 IP maximus.4994 > 188.8.131.52.53: 2+ PTR? 126.96.36.199.in-
addr.arpa. (45)
23:21:33.305759 IP 18.104.22.168.53 > maximus.4994: 2 NXDomain 0/1/0 (114) (DF)
23:21:33.309055 IP maximus.4995 > 22.214.171.124.53: 3+ PTR? 22.214.171.124.in-
addr.arpa. (45)
23:21:33.369485 IP 126.96.36.199.53 > maximus-4nikqbi.4995: 3 NXDomain 0/1/0 (114) (DF)
Without any options tcpdump displays output in the form
timestamp protocol source.port > destination.port : flags
(a) timestamp: it is the time at which packet is being monitored.
(b) protocol : the protocol(not very specific) being used IP,TCP,ICMP,arp-who-has etc.
(c) source.port: originating ip and port separated by a dot.
(d) > : signifies the packet flow
(e) Flags: they can be of the form
S 4183223882:4183223882(0) win 64240 <mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK> (DF)
ack 4183223883 win 8190 <mss 1460>
S meams a SYN packet was sent (I will expain this later)
ACK means an acknowldgement packet was recieved etc.(I will expain this later)
The numbers are tcp sequence numbers of the form(I will expain this later)
starting sequence number : ending sequence number (data bytes)
Windows size etc.
6. A few other options are
-X : Display ascii data
-v : verbose output
-vvv: very verbose
Next time detailed description of packet format,connections etc and traffic analysis.

Hello! My name is Kimberly from My Brown Bag Studio and I'm so excited to be here! This is my first time in the Bake Shop kitchen and I really hope you enjoy this recipe for my About Town {Hometown} Ruffle Scarf! It makes me think of all my blogging friends from near and far… and if you make a scarf of your own, please be sure to let me know!
1 Hometown Jelly Roll
2 packages twill tape to coordinate (mine were 'camel' color)
Basic sewing/quilting supplies
1. Unroll your Jelly Roll, iron all the strips out, and gasp in delight as you discover your hometown in Hometown. I found mine {Abbotsford} right between Calgary and Hamburg.
2. Divide strips into four-color combinations – I did yellow/cream, blue, gray, and red. You'll need 40 strips in total, divided into sets of 10.
3. Reserve 1 strip from each color grouping for ruffle pieces. I set aside 4 solid color strips in cream, blue, grey, and red.
4. Cut off the selvedge edge and cut strips to 37″. I did this in stacks of 5 strips to save time.
5. Arrange 9 strips per colorway the way you like them and sew each set together lengthwise with 1/4″ seam allowance. Press your seams open.
You'll have 4 striped sections when you're finished, and a coordinating strip set aside.
6. Create ruffles: I make my ruffles by hand. Stitch a long running stitch down the centre length of your jelly roll strip leaving a tail of thread on either end. Yes, I'm a lefty!
Pin your strip 2″ up from the end of your scarf section. Pin pin pin! Pin both ends in place the same way.
Gently pull the thread tails from either end to create your ruffle. Adjust to your liking and pin all along to hold it in place. Pin pin pin!
Machine stitch from one end to the other, down the centre of your ruffle. Remove your pins as you go… oops, I forgot!
Centre the twill tape on your ruffle and machine stitch along each side of its length.
Repeat for other 3 scarf sections.
7. Sew 2 of your color sets together end-to-end (not the ends with ruffles). Repeat for the other 2 sets. Press seams open. I paired the yellow and gray, and the blue and red together.
8. With right sides together, match the centre seams and twill tape sections and pin well.
9. Sew all the way around, leaving a 6″ opening near the centre seam to turn right side out – as shown by the purple pins.
10. Carefully snip the tips of the 4 corners off to reduce bulk, being careful not to snip into your stitches.
11. Turn scarf right side out through opening and press well. See how great it looks from the side?
12. Slip stitch opening closed by hand.
13. Put on your new scarf and enjoy a day in your hometown… or even in your own backyard… just enjoy!
I really love my Hometown scarf and with the cooler weather upon us, I think I'll get a lot of use out of it! It would even be a fantastic gift for a friend or family member who lives across the miles… make sure both hometowns are visible and you'll feel close despite the distance!
Feel free to stop by My Brown Bag Studio anytime for a visit… I'll be there, and the coffee will be on!

Unofficial Samsung Remote is an app that does exactly what the title suggests. The Windows Phone app enables users to control their Samsung Smart TV sets to take advantage of the television's advanced functionality that may not be available with the standard remote.
As well as changing channels, adjusting volume levels, navigating around the Smart Hub and inputing data into fields using the keyboard, the app boasts a number of features that's going to make any Samsung television owner drool.
It's noted on the app's Store listing that it supports the following Samsung televisions:
- LED 6500 series or higher (model code starts with 'U')
- LCD 650 series or higher (model code starts with 'L')
- PDP 6500 series or higher (model code starts with 'P')
Unfortunately there is a downside to the app (though it's reportedly down to the television itself, and not how the app is coded). The app cannot turn the TV on as its wireless remote server is only running when it's already powered on. Furthermore, this is not a licensed, endorsed or approved Samsung solution, so be sure to use at one's own risk.
The latest version (1.6) upgrades the app to fully support Windows Phone 8 hardware, as well as the implementation to make holding down volume up / down keys to register continuous manipulation of the volume.

Halfbrick Studios, the fine folks behind such classics as Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride, announced a brand new property at GDC 2013 called Fish out of Water. It takes the highly-recognized long-toss type of game and adds in a bunch of interesting elements, including weather and crafting.
Players pick from six different fish to skip across the sea as far as possible. Okay, fine, the whale and dolphin are technically mammals, but they each have their own unique properties: one explodes into a school of multiple fish, another has smooth scales to maximize skippability, the whale is light (for some reason) and bounces particularly high, while the dolphin can dive beneath the waves and come out the other side with plenty of velocity. Just to mix things up a bit, the game's weather changes hourly, so during one match, you may have perfectly calm waters, while the next day you may be wrestling against massive waves.
Along the skipping path, players pick up boosts tokens which fill a meter along the top. By tapping and holding the screen, players can eat into that boost bar for an extra shot of speed. Players that have spent any time with Tiny Wings will quickly get comfortable with the boost mechanic. Players will also pick up gems along the way for completing certain missions, which can be combined in various ways to create power-ups that are used in your next run. After three tosses, a panel of judges come out to give you a score based on how much distance you've covered, how many skips you've made, and other criteria. Players are able to issue challenges to their buddies through Game Center to see if they can beat their scores.
There's no firm date on release, but Fish out of Water will be going for $0.99 when it launches. Personally, I really enjoyed this one as a casual, colorful time-waster with a nice mix of familiar but fresh elements. What about you guys? Do you see this one taking off as well as Jetpack Joyride or Fruit Ninja?

Charity must be voluntary. Very simply, you get what you subsidize. If you give money to people who have certain characteristics, you will find more people trying to achive those characteristics. Rather than government aid working to eliminate poverty, it functions to create more poor people.
If, on the other hand, charity is voluntary, and human judgement is applied to the decision to help someone, then that human can evaluate each need on its own merits. Sometimes some people are helped most by the kick in the butt that poverty provides. Other people are not, and no blanket rule (as governments have to apply) will get it as right.
