TMILie TMI Lie YKTTW Discussion
|TMI Lie
Better Name
One of the best types of lies are ones which make people want to stop asking questions all together. A good way to accomplish this is for the lie to be about something You Don't Want to Know. TMI lies are great not only because they cause the person questioning them to lose interest but they are a good cover up for suspicious behavior. Bob might be suspicious if Alice claims she snuck off in the middle of the night without telling anyone to get ice cream, if she claims she did so to replenish her tampon supply on the other hand there's at least a 9/10 chance that Bob will leave it at that. "Womens problems" in fact are a very common TMI Liei. There is even an example of this happening in Biblical scripture, making this trope Older Then Feudalism. For men explosive diarrhea is a much more popular choice. Compare Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick. [[foldercontrol]] [[folder:Live-Action TV]] In an episode of Breaking Bad Walter lies about having explosive diarrhea as an excuse for not helping Hank investigate his meth distributing boss.
- In a Murphy Brown episode, Murphy helps a fellow employee, Hillary, who she recognizes has a drinking problem. After Hillary realizes she needs help after screwing up an assignment, Murphy suggests using food poisoning as a cover story, as nobody wants to know the details.

Fitch Downgrades YPF's LC IDR to 'B' & National Rating to 'AA(arg)'; Outlook to Stable Business Wire BUENOS AIRES, Argentina -- April 16, 2012 Fitch Ratings has downgraded the following ratings for YPF S.A.: -- Local currency (LC) Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to 'B' from 'B+'; -- National scale rating to 'AA(arg)' from 'AA+(arg)'; -- Class III notes for USD50 million to 'AA(arg)' from 'AA+ (arg)'; -- Class V notes for ARP100 million to 'AA(arg)' from 'AA+ (arg)'; -- Two bond programs for USD1 billion each to 'AA(arg)' from 'AA+(arg)'. The Rating Outlook for the above ratings has been revised to Stable from Negative. In conjunction with these rating actions, Fitch has affirmed YPF's foreign currency (FC) IDR at 'B' with a Stable Outlook. Fitch has also affirmed the USD100 million notes due 2028 at 'B/RR4'. The 'RR4' reflects average recovery prospects in the event of default. Fitch has also affirmed YPF's equity rating at 'Level 1'. The rating downgrades reflect the Argentine government's recent announcement that it intends to introduce legislation to nationalize YPF. As a result, YPF's LC IDR has been downgraded to the same level as the sovereign's 'B' rating. Today, the government announced it intends take over YPF's class D shares owned by Repsol and divide the ownership of these shares between the Federal government (51%) and the oil and gas producing provinces (49%). Fitch believes the law to allow the implement YPF's take over will be approved by the Congress within a short time frame. Ownership by the government will likely lead to greater inefficiencies and lower profitability as government owned entities tend to incorporate more social strategies into their business strategy. Fitch also anticipates that a state owned YPF would take an active role in guarantying Argentina's domestic oil and gas supply. This role might include managing and paying for natural gas imports, which in 2011 represented a cost of USD 9.4 billion. The government has also declared oil and gas production is an activity of public interest. The affirmation of YPF's FC IDR at 'B' reflects that the rating was previously moved to the same rating level as the sovereign. The company's bondholders can request that YPF repurchase the notes at 100% plus accrued interest if an event of nationalization takes place and is continuing. Such a request can be claimed by bondholders representing 25% of principal of YPF's outstanding domestic and international notes. Until now, YPF maintained an adequate business profile as Argentina's dominant integrated oil company along with good credit ratios. Key credit concerns center on YPF's weak upstream operating measures, a debt profile concentrated on the short term and exposure to government's interference risk. As of December 2011, YPF's cash position was USD339 million which compares to USD1.9 billion of short-term debt. Following the take over of Repsol YPF's stake in YPF, the government is expected to hold 51% of the company, the Petersen Group 25%, Repsol YPF 6%, while the remainder is traded in the stock exchange. Additional information is available at 'www.fitchratings.com'. The ratings above were solicited by, or on behalf of, the issuer, and therefore, Fitch has been compensated for the provision of the ratings.

Microsoft announced they are running 20 critical internal systems, including
their worldwide sales data warehouse, on SQL Server 2000. In the vendor
world, this is referred to as "eating your own dog food". As is the case
with all software vendors lately, Microsoft is pushing e-commerce on the
Web and support for XML. SQL Server 2000 beta release 2 is available immediately.
In April, Microsoft Corp. announced the worldwide availability of SQL
Server 2000 beta release 2, giving customers the opportunity to start
testing the next version of Microsoft's award-winning database. SQL Server
2000 is a database and analysis offering that enables customers to rapidly
build the next generation of scalable e-commerce, line-of-business and
data warehousing solutions.
SQL Server 2000 is fully Web-enabled with end-to-end support for Extensible
Markup Language (XML) and a new, integrated data-mining engine, allowing
customers to benefit from the efficiencies and opportunities offered by
business-to-business and business-to-consumer e-commerce.
Microsoft Windows DNA platform, including SQL Server already has a strong
presence in the business-to-business e-commerce industry with support
from premier vendors such as Ariba Inc., Clarus Corp., Commerce One Inc.,
Concur Technologies Inc., and Intellisys Electric Commerce LLC.; and with
customers such as AirTouch Cellular, American Express Co., The Boeing
Company, Dell Computer Corp., Healtheon/WebMD, Lucent Technologies Inc.,
MasterCard International Inc., Northern Telecom Ltd., Paccar Inc., Schlumberger
Electronics Transactions, Siemens AG, and Visa U.S.A.
Microsoft states that "SQL Server 2000 will offer scalability and reliability
for the largest Web and corporate applications through groundbreaking
support for software scale-out, high-end hardware platforms and state-of-the-art
networking and storage technologies. With the industry's most modern database
architecture and deep integration with the Microsoft Windows DNA 2000
platform, SQL Server 2000 will offer the fastest time-to-market for building
applications for the Business Internet, helping companies realize the
possibilities of the digital economy."
Windows DNA 2000 is the most comprehensive integrated platform for building
and deploying next-generation Web applications," said Paul Flessner, vice
president, database and middleware development at Microsoft. "SQL Server
2000 will anchor this platform by delivering unequaled support for Web
technologies, deeply integrating business intelligence features, and making
software scale a reality for the most demanding e-commerce scenarios."
With 20 critical internal systems, including its worldwide sales data
warehouse, already upgraded to SQL Server 2000, Microsoft expects over
200,000 customers to test the new version of its database.
Embedded support for XML is becoming more crucial for business-to-business
transactions on the World Wide Web. Companies who would like faster time-to-market
by working with only one vendor, thereby easing integration issues, will
strongly consider Microsoft's offering.
Cost will also remain an issue with respect to Oracle and IBM pricing
in many cases. One major drawback is that once you have begun betting
your business on a proprietary Microsoft solution, it will be difficult
to change your mind.
additional advantage of the new release is the addition of SQL Server
2000 Analysis Server (formerly known as OLAP Services or "Plato"). An
integrated data mining engine will be a strong selling point. The algorithms
are claimed to be extensible via OLE DB for Data Mining (for more information
see the TEC News Analysis, Microsoft Says OLE Data Mining: Is it Bull?,
published in March). The product contains a custom rollup service and
additional levels of security (even to the cell level within the cube)
to make OLAP more flexible. In addition, the OLAP services allow clickstream
analysis and Web data analysis in conjunction with Microsoft Commerce
Customers investigating low to mid-tier data warehouse and data mart solutions
should consider Microsoft SQL Server 2000 in a short list of potential
candidates. Other product offerings that should be investigated include
those from Oracle, Informix, and IBM. It should be noted that the only
platforms on which this server solution can be deployed are Windows NT4
or Windows 2000. UNIX and mainframe-predominant shops should explore DB2,
Oracle 8i, and Informix solutions, as well as other, smaller niche database
In addition, although a company's advanced/emerging technology group may
wish to test the beta, no actual applications should be trusted to this
server platform until it is in general availability. Microsoft has done
extensive testing on SQL Server 2000, but it should be noted that many
customers do not commit to Microsoft products until the first Service
Pack has been released. To the company's credit, Microsoft is strongly
committed to SQL Server, and it will likely evolve into a very strong
product, irrespective of the outcome of the Department of Justice lawsuit
and attempts to break up the company.

Lu designed the new circuits so that the memory function is built into the logic gate itself. With a typical cellular AND gate, the two necessary inputs activate proteins that together turn on expression of an output gene. However, in the new circuits, the inputs stably alter regions of DNA that control GFP production. These regions, known as promoters, recruit the cellular proteins responsible for transcribing the GFP gene into messenger RNA, which then directs protein assembly.
For example, in one circuit described in the paper, two DNA sequences called terminators are interposed between the promoter and the output gene (GFP, in this case). Each of these terminators inhibits the transcription of the output gene and can be flipped by a different recombinase enzyme, making the terminator inactive.
Each of the circuit's two inputs turns on production of one of the recombinase enzymes needed to flip a terminator. In the absence of either input, GFP production is blocked. If both are present, both terminators are flipped, resulting in their inactivation and subsequent production of GFP.
Once the DNA terminator sequences are flipped, they can't return to their original state the memory of the logic gate activation is permanently stored in the DNA sequence. The sequence also gets passed on for at least 90 generations. Scientists wanting to read the cell's history can either measure its GFP output, which will stay on continuously, or if the cell has died, they can retrieve the memory by sequencing its DNA.
Using this design strategy, the researchers can create all two-input logic gates and implement sequential logic systems. "It's really easy to swap things in and o

|Tenkile range
The tenkile (Dendrolagus scottae), also known as Scott's tree-kangaroo, is a species of tree-kangaroo in the Macropodidae family. It is endemic to a very small area of the Torricelli Mountains of Papua New Guinea.[3] Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests. It is threatened by habitat loss and by hunting.[2]
The tenkile is a close relative of Doria's tree-kangaroo. It weighs 9 to 11 kilograms (20 to 24 lb), with males being larger than females. It is predominantly black with some chocolate-brown on limbs and long tail, and whirls of hair on the shoulder. It has a powerful and persistent odour.[3][4]
The tenkile inhabits mountain forests predominated by Podocarpus, Libocedrus, Araucaria and Rapanea. It feeds on epiphytic ferns, green leafy material and vines including Scaevola and Tetracera.[4]
Tenkile has declined greatly over the past fifty years including an eighty percent decline in ten years. It is currently restricted to three remote areas along the summit of the Torricelli Range, the eastern Bewani Range, the Menawa Range, and the Torricelli Mountains in the Fatima area of Papua New Guinea where it is found at altitudes between 900 and 1,700 metres (3,000 and 5,600 ft) above sea level.[3] The animal is hunted by indigenous people for food and the sub-population in the Toricelli Mountains is believed to number fewer than 250 individuals. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed the animal's status as being "critically endangered" and a moratorium on hunting has been arranged with the local community in the Swelpini area.[2]

On Sept. 28, the FDA announced that the makers of almost 200 unapproved prescription medicines containing the ingredient hydrocodone must cease making these products for children under 6 by Oct. 31.
Hydrocodone, a narcotic, is commonly used to ease pain and cough. According to The New York Times, many of the children's hydrocodone products currently on the market have been around for decades but never received approval from the modern-day FDA.

How and what are you going to shoot? The Mamiya 3 and 2 series are great cameras. Lens quality seems to be better with the later versions but even early seem fine. Multiple prime lenses so quality is not compromised. Minus of course is if walking around it gets to be a heavy kit and is not as unobtrusive as most of the fixed lens tlrs. I used to craze a C330f Professional system but as much of my photography is hand held walk around, it had weight against it.
The Yashica and Rollei models are lighter for walking around. But to get to a longer focal length or wider view when you can only do it via a different lens are the auxilary lenses. I've yet to find a set even the Rolleis that do not affect the quality. Yes, you can crop to get around the longer lens issue but in some instances can not get wider when your back is against the wall, no pun intended. Yes, there is the tele-Rollei but, last time I looked at pricing, I doubt you'd carry it around often.
I've had the Yashicamat-G and several Rolleiflexes, no 'Cords. On balance the Yashica is a good starting camera to test the waters with. It uses the Bay I filter set so if you later move up to a Rolleiflex 3.5, there is a good chance the accessories are transferrable. Do'nt get bogged down with the lens too much, the Tessar vs Planar debate, like trying to compare 2 perfects with each other. The 'flex lenses are simply for most part above almost anything you'll likely shoot. This tlr design is easy to carry and shoot with as they are vitually identical except for the Rolleiflex T. The Rolleiflexes I've had were quieter than the Yashicamat-G. If you look at Rolleiflex , look for a T. It is between the 'Flex and 'Cord supposively but in comparing it to both, it is really a 'Flex less the autostart mechanism so the same system as the 'Cord and Yashica, align the arrow on the film to a mark on the camera. It Does use the EV shutter system so the dual wheels are lacking. If you get it CLA'd the interconnect of the shutter and aperature levers can be defeated. I actually like the shutter button on the T better, I find less potential of body movement with less thinking about it. It also has the removeable hood for the 'Flex finders and is easier to replace the screen than the earlier non-removeable hood 'Flexes.
Assume that any camera you get should or will need a CLA to assure shutter speeds and lens alignments. The 'Mat-G and some Rolleis have some form of meter. Make sure they are either accurate or use it a bargaining chip. Repair and replacement of the selenium metering cells (Rollei) is not cheap, figure a trip to Quality Light Metric in California, the non-selenium meters I think all use the PX625 mercury so something like a C.H.R.S. adaptor will get you power.
The limiting factor result wise for each of these will be the user's ability; all are excellent cameras but, only a tool.

Lawyer Oliver Rand marries noted author Elizabeth Town, and for several months they are perfectly happy. On a visit to his friend Charles's art studio, however, Oliver meets the dazzling Catherine and soon becomes infatuated with her. Believing that the same standards of behavior should govern both herself and her husband, Elizabeth protests against Oliver's affair, but in response, he angrily declares that as a man, he may do as he pleases. Embittered, Elizabeth feigns an affair with Charles, and when her baby is born, Oliver assumes that Charles is its father. Catherine becomes jealous of Charles's attentions to Elizabeth and shoots him. With his dying breath, Charles assures Oliver that Elizabeth has remained faithful. Before the couple is reconciled, however, Elizabeth is taught the folly of her rebellion through the death of her child.

Native people are being displaced in Kenya to make way for a conservation project.
The Samburu are semi-nomadic pastoralists allegedly being driven from their lands to make way for a park by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF).
The land is owned by former Kenyan President Daniel arap Moi and is known for its links to Prince William and Kate Middleton's engagement on a safari ranch in the area.
The indigenous peoples' NGO Survival International contend that the Samburu are being brutally evicted, with villages being burned, killing and stealing of their animals and assaults on men, women and children. Survival International has recently received reports of an elder being shot 'in cold blood.'
At least 2,000 Samburu families now live in makeshift squats on the edge of the land and 1,000 others have been forced to relocate entirely.
Conditions are appalling, and resources scarce. A Channel 4 documentary (see below) caught on camera the extreme nature of these evictions in the Eland Downs area of North-East Kenya.
Jo Woodman, a campaigner for Survival, said they suffered constant harassment from police with women allegedly raped, animals seized and an elder shot.
"There has been an ongoing, constant level of fear, intimidation and violence towards the community, which has been devastating," Woodman said.
Following waves of violence from the police, the Samburu began legal proceedings against AWF and ex-President Moi, to plead for their rights to the land. A subsequent court demand for no further harassment of the Samburu has been ignored. Survival has recently received reports that women and children have been sleeping in the bush, despite heavy rains, terrified of police violence.
Although the case is still underway, AWF has recently gave the land to the Kenyan government in a move described by the Samburu as an "affront to the justice system."
The Minister for Forestry and Wildlife said in Parliament, "this piece of land was donated to us … we accepted the donation. This is in keeping with the need to preserve our wildlife which is an economic cash cow to us."
Lawyer Korir Sing'Oei told the Guardian that a local court had confirmed that the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) had secured registration of the land.
"The court has turned a blind eye to the pleas of the Samburu community and allowed these illegalities to subsist," he said. "The transfer [of the land to the KWS] is totally unlawful and it's in flagrant violation of the interests of the Samburu community."
The land supports a wide variety of species, including rare zebras and black rhinos, and the head of AWF has described Laikipia's protection as the perfect way to "stimulate tourism."
One community leader said AWF's actions go "against the very interests of Kenya's children" who, Survival International say, remain the best wildlife conservationists.
Survival's Director Stephen Corry said:
That the Samburu have been driven from their homes in the name of conservation should be vigorously opposed by all who believe in fairness and justice. They simply want to live on and protect this land.
Survival has written to the UN appealing for urgent action to be taken to put an end to the violence and provide assistance to the Samburu.
John Butler, director of marketing for the AWF, told the Guardian:
The African Wildlife Foundation does not condone violence. AWF has a longstanding history of working closely with local communities to ensure that conservation solutions benefit both people and wildlife. Unfortunately, we cannot comment at length on this issue due to a pending court case in Kenya.
Korir Sing'Oei said:
Given the powerful actors who have vested interests in the land, this issue has been really hushed up in the local media.

Yet more land taken from wildlife - Google :
"Leopard sparks panic in Indian city"
"Karuturi and Ethiopia The Fire Next Time"
Would want to see lots more info about the overall situation.
Africa is a continent of Catch 22's. There is endemic poverty (of the 20 poorest nations on earth, 16 of them are in Africa), in some areas, water is so scarce that attempts at economic development in one country that entails more water usage can push the next country down stream over the edge from subsistence to starvation. The idea that these small remote cultures are "natural enviromnmentalists" is to misstate what the above link is saying. The link indicates that preserving the rights of indigenous peoples to occupy traditional lands helps to limit wholesale destruction by commercial interests. While there are certainly examples of indigenous cultures that thrive in balance with their environs, there are also examples of cultures who's traditional methods degrade the environment, who have recurrent or ongoing resource wars with other cultures in the same area (in Darfur, just such a situation allowed the Sudaneese gvt. to carry out a genocide while insisting that it was really the mechanations of a tradititonal tribal resource war) .
None of this excuses the brutality shown to these people. Political corruption,inter- tribal and intra- tribal caste systems,grave inequality of women, general absence of secure human rights, resource competition, a dirth of education, recurrent famines ,maldistribution of resources, chronic public health issues, epidemic levels of HIV infection, international apathy are

New Article: Rapid Web Services Development with Moose XML
We've just published a new article, Rapid Web Services Development with Moose XML, by Michael Quigley. Moose XML is a framework Michael began working on after having "experienced some of the rough edges in existing XML marshalling solutions when used in web services environments." Michael says:
This article will give you a quick tour of Moose XML. I'll start by showing you the basics of creating a mapping. I'll finish by showing you how this can be plugged into Spring Web Services, creating a rapid web services development stack. We'll create a simple "purchase order" web service, allowing for storage and retrieval of simplified purchase order data.
The article has code snippets that illustrate how to utilize the Moose XML framework to both speed up and simplify the task of developing "contract last" web services (support of "contract first" development approaches is planned for future Moose XML releases). Michael illustrates:
- Creating the Mapping (between object data and its XML representation)
- Marshalling and Unmarshalling
- Spring Web Services Integration with Moose XML
- Building the Example from the Source Distribution
Early in the article, Michael notes that:
Moose XML's schema generator is what distinguishes it from the other frameworks. The schema generator can generate an XML schema directly from your annotated Java beans.
In his conclusion, Michael states:
There are many tools and frameworks for getting XML data into and out of Java applications. Moose XML tries to smooth some of the rough edges that are typically encountered when prototyping and rapidly developing XML web services. In these scenarios, generating the schema and contract information from code ("contract last") seems to be the least cumbersome methodology.
Take a look at Rapid Web Services Development with Moose XML if you're engaged in developing contract last web services, and you need a framework that will enable you to be more productive. And if your platform includes Spring, Moose XML is ready to assist there as well.

Modularity is one of the themes for Java EE 6 and servlet 3.0 fragments one often mentioned as one examples of this (see details here). This blog entry is about a small yet very useful new feature of the servlet 3.0 specification to deal with static content such as images, CSS or JavaScript. Before servlet 3.0, images could be made accessible from the root of the web applications but that meant copying the files to the WAR archive and keeping them up-to-date. This certainly meant a solution tightly coupled with the web application development and packaging. The other option was to place this static content in the docroot of the application server...

Overall Experience
Wonderful staff and stay
October 12, 2015
Loved the outstanding, friendly staff and how accommodating they were. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Our suite was very clean and they also let us have an early check-in even though the hotel was booked at the time. Enjoyed using the kitchen with all it's amenities. We liked the fact we could checkout a toaster oven too. We will definitely be staying there again in the future.
nice pillows, noisy rooms!!!
October 04, 2015
worst hotel stay ever! NOISIEST room ever! fridge ran 99.9% of the time, wall climate control unit rattled 100% 0f the time! the people were nice. If you can do without sleep, it would be a GREAT place to stay. like sleeping between two train tracks with trains going by every hour blowing their whistles continually yea, someone really thought this out thoroughly! earplugs were NO help!
Very nice property
October 04, 2015
We had to travle to this location due to a family member having a prolonged hospitalization in the area. Each time the property was everything listed above. Would highly recommend if you want quality at a VERY affordable price. One caveat to be aware of, there is a beef jerky plant right next door so it can be stinky at times.
Always consistent.
October 03, 2015
We have stayed at a candlewood many times and always find everything good. You can describe the room before you open the door and the housekeeping is always up to par.
The staff are always friendly.

House to Consider Association Health Plan Legislation; Proposal Would Weaken State Mental Illness Insurance Parity Laws
July 20, 2005
Later this week the U.S. House of Representatives will consider legislation to vastly expand multi-employer Association Health Plans (AHPs) and undermine existing state laws that require health plans to cover treatment for mental illness on the same terms and conditions as all other illnesses – commonly referred to as parity. This proposal (HR 525) would significantly expand the scope of a federal law (known as ERISA), that exempts self-insured employer health plans from state regulation. By expanding ERISA, HR 525 would encourage employers that currently offer health plans for their workers (and their families) to switch away from coverage that meets a parity standard, i.e. plans that cover mental illnesses the same as all other illnesses.
The AHPs envisioned by HR 525 would be exempt from all state insurance laws, including: state parity laws, minimum coverage standards for mental illness treatment and other consumer protections. The supporters of AHPs assert that HR 525 would help make employer coverage more affordable and ease the growth among the uninsured. However, several recent studies have found that AHPs are not effective in reaching uninsured workers and their families and are more likely to fail as a result of insolvency.
It is expected that during consideration of HR 525, Representative Rush Holt (D-NJ) will be offering an amendment to require AHPs to comply with relevant state mental illness insurance parity laws. NAMI strongly supports the Holt Amendment as an important and badly needed improvement to HR 525.
Action Requested
NAMI advocates are strongly encouraged to contact their House member to urge them to:
- Support the Holt Amendment to HR 525, and
- Oppose HR 525 if the Holt Amendment is voted down.
Remind your House member that this well-intentioned legislation would have enormous negative consequences for workers and their families.
In NAMI's view, HR 525 would:
- Severely undermine the effectiveness of the 34 state mental illness insurance parity laws.
- Fail to address the problem of the uninsured – studies demonstrate that most employers that would switch to AHP coverage already provide coverage on their own.
- Place workers and their families at risk of losing coverage – studies show that AHPs have a long history of plan failures and insolvency (AHPs would not have to meet current solvency and reserve standards enforced by state insurance commissioners).
All House members can be reached by calling the Capitol Switchboard toll free at 202-224-3121 or online through www.congress.org.

Is there any option to set a routing key at message level in Apache Qpid. The way I currently do is
Specify routing key in address string. Create a producer with this destination address.
topic = (Topic) context.lookup("destination"); sender = session.createProducer(topic);
Send messages through the producer.
This way all the messages have the same routing key. What I want to achieve is set a routing key for each message individually.
Let me know if this can be done

From 'Miami Vice' to Felony Charge Police Say Man Was Taping Movie during Midnight Showing at Lombard Theater
Wamble, Michael, Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, IL)
Byline: Michael Wamble Daily Herald Staff Writer
Wearing pastel shirts, designer suits and alligator shoes while cruising the Florida coast to the beat of a Phil Collins song aren't necessary to catch illegal pirates.
Crockett and Tubbs, meet Lombard police.
"I haven't seen the 'Miami Vice' movie yet," Deputy Chief Dane Cuny said Tuesday, who usually waits until movies come out on DVD to rent them.
But some people apparently can't wait to get a copy.
A Chicago man was arrested at AMC Yorktown Theaters over the weekend after authorities said he tried to record the film directly from the movie screen from the audience.
Frank S. Williams, 36, of 4935 W. Lexington, Chicago, was charged with criminal use of motion picture exhibition facility, which is a felony, Cuny said. Williams is scheduled to appear in court Aug. 21.
Cuny said police discovered Williams with a camcorder and a tripod early Friday morning during a midnight premiere of "Miami Vice" at the Lombard theater.
Authorities said a theater employee became suspicious of Williams and alerted police.
After the big-screen bust, Cuny said police searched Williams' home and found 14 compact disc burners and 518 counterfeit DVDs.
"We haven't handled anything like that before," Cuny said.
While the arrest might be unique in Lombard, piracy is an ongoing problem for the film industry, said Elizabeth Kaltman of the Motion Picture Association of America, which represents the six major movie studios. …

Ben Ainslie wins fourth Olympics sailing gold medal
Ben Ainslie clinched his fourth straight gold medal to become the most decorated Olympic sailor in history.
The 35-year-old, who also won silver in 1996, overtakes Dane Paul Elvstrom, who won four golds up to 1960.
Britain's Ainslie came ninth in a tense Finn medal race to edge long-time regatta leader Jonas Hogh-Christensen of Denmark into silver.
France's Jonathan Lobert won the medal race to grab bronze from the Netherlands' Pieter-Jan Postma.
Ainslie was handed a union jack and a flare after crossing the line and sailed past the huge, cheering crowds on the Weymouth shore.
"It's times like this you are supposed to come out with something clever but I can't think of anything," said Ainslie, who won silver and gold in the Laser class before switching to the heavyweight Finn dinghy to win further Olympic titles in Athens and Beijing.
"I am speechless. I am just so glad for everyone who has supported me over the last four years. It has been an amazing Olympics.
"After six races I was in a bit of trouble. Thankfully I turned things around and got it right when it counted.
"It's been incredibly hard - there's a huge amount of pressure to perform at a home Games. It's been the hardest couple of weeks of my life but you just have to get on with the job.
"This was one of the hardest courses I have raced on and I don't want to do anything like that again."
Ainslie had trailed Hogh-Christensen all week and had not beaten the Dane until the seventh race of the regatta. He narrowed the gap to just two points on the final day of fleet racing and went into the medal race needing to finish ahead of Hogh-Christensen, and in the top six if Postma won.
Most observers expected an aggressive match-race between Ainslie and Hogh-Christensen and the Briton tracking his rival around the committee boat in the pre-start manoeuvring. Ainslie got a slow start before sailing off to the right side of the course, which he had identified as being where there was most wind.
He went around the first mark in fifth, with Postma behind him and the Dane in ninth. Ainslie climbed to second at the first downwind mark but then slipped back to join Hogh-Christensen at the back of the fleet.
Overall standings
1 Ainslie 46pts
2 Hogh-Christensen 46pts
3 Lobert 49pts
4 Postma 52pts
5 Kljakovic Gaspic 55pts
But the Briton was perilously close to losing gold with Postma in third and attacking New Zealand for second. Postma, though, hit Kiwi Dan Slater's boat on the final upwind leg and had to take a penalty turn which dropped him to fifth at the finish.
Ainslie and Hogh-Christensen came home ninth and 10th and the Briton's coronation was confirmed.
"You can never say never but I don't think I can sail one of these again, it's killing my body," said Ainslie. "I don't think you will see me in Rio [for the 2016 Olympics]. But it's the best way to bow out at a home Olympics.
"I learned to sail for fun so it's been a long road but I have had a lot of support over the years and I am just so glad to have done it."� �XMo�0��WX��dLBd H�G�ö���V�٦-�~�v��t�T�RD��>�?� @� *�QعIT ���3��~M߁�Z!��l�0���{�5�i�Rcf�-�w1�H�P=.��Q�l�l����๗FO7�zc^��PH&�!�@�^(��v�j���=J��M����1�{`m1s6��QѾHgX_�E��~�Cm��:�� ��>���vy�c�?�L���'g,vԽ�ٹR�/ ]���ʶ�&;V0����������܄:b ,�(�X��Z�sIJ�q�p���,���2$0�i�1A��Q?�Q��;uW���)����?���9?A�V@�EV<��Z�e���J���X���+�, ���B��{eId���� 9�V�d���H4�E%W�r(�ns���WI��$��`��-����^L�8� �vm��A�m���K�����>�и>c�36(���#�ܭ��#;2u?�9<�����-�-�ִ�E5m4 NSX�YS^�x�O M � �F�,�Ȫo��+�g�1��ō2]c{�2�����瑵��lY;�

As we enter our 36th year of operation, I can't help but reflect on how far we have come. When Tom Wood and I started up with Cessna U206, C-GLIZ, in 1977, we never imagined that the company would fly Boeing 737 jet aircraft - nor that we would join forces with the Vuntut Development Corporation and the people of Old Crow - and grow to become such an important part of the Yukon economy.
We have seen many aviation companies come and go during our 35 years and I know that we have faced lots of challenges ourselves. We have always risen to those challenges, and the airline has grown with Yukoners.
In the last year alone, our Boeing 737s have covered 1.9 million miles - and on those flights, our staff have served 60,000 cookies. These figures are a measure of our success. That we've covered that distance is thanks to the dedication of our staff and shareholders - but in greatest part thanks to our loyal customers.
Going forward, we'll be celebrating our 35th Anniversary by thanking Yukoners for their support and carrying ever more people on Yukon's Airline.

text: Were these optical prints from you film negatives, or did the simply process the film to do digital prints from scans? If it was the latter, run do not walk away from that place. I find it annoying, at least, that they wouldn't just make regular prints from your negs. Also pretty disheartening if that is the state of the photo finishing industry. I rarely shoot color film, but recently I have been asked to do some for my day job. I took the film to a local CVS, and got back pretty nice 4x6 prints from my negs. If they are digital prints, there is definately an allignment problem some where.
