Chevy Colorado
The world-debut of this mid-size truck at the LA Auto Show made sense. After all, more mid-size trucks are sold in California than any state -- except for Texas. (Makes you wonder why it's named after Colorado.) The sporty Colorado is targeting a younger demo as one might glean from its curvy design. It's slated to go on sale in late 2014.

readOGR {rgdal}
The function reads an OGR data source and layer into a suitable Spatial vector object. It can only handle layers with conformable geometry features (not mixtures of points, lines, or polygons in a single layer). It will set the spatial reference system if the layer has such metadata.
If reading a shapefile, the data source name (
dsn= argument) is the folder (directory) where the shapefile is, and the layer is the name of the shapefile (without the .shp extension). For example to read
bounds.shp from
C:/Maps, do
map <- readOGR(dsn="C:/Maps", layer="bounds"). The logic behind this is that typically one keeps all the shapefiles for a project in one folder (directory).
As noted below, for other file type drivers, the
dsn= argument is interpreted differently, and may be the file name itself, as for example with the
GPX driver for reading GPS data as
layer="tracks" lines or
layer="track_points" points.
readOGR(dsn, layer, verbose = TRUE, p4s=NULL, stringsAsFactors=default.stringsAsFactors(), drop_unsupported_fields=FALSE, pointDropZ=FALSE, dropNULLGeometries=TRUE, useC=TRUE, disambiguateFIDs=FALSE, addCommentsToPolygons=TRUE, encoding=NULL, use_iconv=FALSE, swapAxisOrder=FALSE, require_geomType = NULL, integer64="allow.loss") ogrInfo(dsn, layer, encoding=NULL, use_iconv=FALSE, swapAxisOrder=FALSE, require_geomType = NULL) ogrFIDs(dsn, layer) ogrDrivers() OGRSpatialRef(dsn, layer) ogrListLayers(dsn) ## S3 method for class 'ogrinfo': print((x, ...))
- dsn
- data source name (interpretation varies by driver --- for some drivers, dsn is a file name, but may also be a folder)
- layer
- layer name (varies by driver, may be a file name without extension)
- verbose
- report progress
- p4s
- PROJ4 string defining CRS, if default NULL, the value is read from the OGR data set
- stringsAsFactors
- logical: should character vectors be converted to factors? The 'factory-fresh' default is
TRUE, but this can be changed by setting
options(stringsAsFactors = FALSE)(see
- drop\_unsupported\_fields
- default FALSE, if TRUE skip fields other than String, Integer, and Real; Date, Time and DateTime are converted to String
- pointDropZ
- default FALSE, if TRUE, discard third coordinates for point geometries; third coordinates are alway discarded for line and polygon geometries
- dropNULLGeometries
- default TRUE, drop both declared NULL geometries, and empty geometries with no coordinates; if FALSE, return a data frame with the attribute values of the NULL and empty geometries
- useC
- default TRUE, if FALSE use original interpreted code in a loop
- disambiguateFIDs
- default FALSE, if TRUE, and FID values are not unique, they will be set to unique values 1:N for N features; problem observed in GML files
- addCommentsToPolygons
- default TRUE, may be set FALSE for legacy behaviour; used to indicate which interior rings are holes in which exterior rings in conformance with OGC SFS specifications
- encoding
- default NULL, if set to a character string, and the driver is "ESRI Shapefile", and use_iconv is FALSE, it is passed to the CPL Option "SHAPE_ENCODING" immediately before reading the DBF of a shapefile. If use_iconv is TRUE, and encoding is not NULL, it will be used to convert input strings from the given value to the native encoding for the system/platform.
- use_iconv
- default FALSE; if TRUE and encoding is not NULL, it will be used to convert input strings from the given value to the native encoding for the system/platform.
- swapAxisOrder
- default FALSE, if TRUE, treat y coordinate as Easting, x as Northing, that is the opposite to the assumed order; this may be needed if some OGR read drivers do not behave as expected
- require_geomType
- , default NULL, if one of:
c("wkbPoint", "wkbLineString", "wkbPolygon"), then in input with multiple geometry types, the chosen type will be read
- integer64
- From GDAL 2, fields to be read may also take Integer64 values. As R has no such storage mode, three options are offered, analogous with
type.convertfor numeric conversion: "allow.loss" which clamps to 32-bit signed integer, "warn.loss" - as "allow.loss" but warns when clamping occurs, and "no.loss", which reads as a character string using the formatting applied by default by GDAL. The use of 64-bit integers is usually a misunderstanding, as such data is almost always a long key ID.
- x
- ogrinfo object
- ...
- other arguments to print method
The drivers available will depend on the installation of GDAL/OGR, and can vary; the
ogrDrivers() function shows which are available, and which may be written (but all are assumed to be readable). Note that stray files in data source directories (such as *.dbf) may lead to suprious errors that accompanying *.shp are missing.
A Spatial object is returned suiting the vector data source, either a SpatialPointsDataFrame (using an AttributeList for its data slot directly), a SpatialLinesDataFrame, or a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame.
The bases for this implementation are taken from functions in Barry Rowlingson's draft Rmap package, and from Radim Blazek's v.in.ogr program in GRASS.
Please note that the OGR drivers used may not handle missing data gracefully, and be prepared to have to correct for this manually. From rgdal 0.5-27, missing value handling has been improved, and OGR unset field values are set to NA in R, but drivers and external files may vary in their representations of missing values.
In addition, from 0.6-9 date and time fields are read as strings rather than being treated as unsupported; NULL geometries are identified and dropped. There are differences in the reporting of NULL geometries between
ogrInfo and
readOGR - in
ogrInfo, only declared NULL geometries are reported, but in
readOGR, any line or polygon geometries with no coordinates are assigned NULL geometry status as well. An attempt is made to close unclosed rings in polygon geometries.
For reading GPX files, refer to the OGR GPX format documentation for the use of layer tags: "waypoints", "tracks", "routes", "track_points" and "route_points" - reading GPX files requires a build of GDAL/OGR with the expat XML library.
From 0.6-10, attempts are made to detect deleted features still present in the layer, but not read. Apparently features deleted in Qgis are only marked as deleted, but are still in the layer. These are not NULL geometries, but still need to be handled. An attempt is made to check the FID values, and
ogrFIDs now returns attributes permitting this oddity to be detected. Such deleted features were seen as NULL in 0.6-9, but are not such.
From 0.7-24, if the layer has no fields, a single field containing the FID values is placed in the data slot of the returned object.
From 0.7-24, attempts are begun to provide users with arguments to control reading from OGR/shapefile driver when the encoding is inappropriate (especially the setting of LDID in shapefile DBFs, and the SHAPE_ENCODING environment variable).
While there is no certainty, newer drivers such as KML, GML, SQLite and Geopackage (GPKG) may encode string fields as UTF-8. Users are advised to explore this on a case to case basis using
Encoding on string fields of input objects.
Because of the representation of DateTime data in OGR, decimal seconds in input data are rounded to integer seconds, see: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2680.
Because some drivers support reading string, integer and real list fields, support has been introduced into
ogrInfo from version 0.9-1 to report their presence and the maximum counts of list items. This may lead to the introduction of the
-splitlistfields facility from the command line utility
ogrinfo. In addition,
ogrInfo reports that there are no features when counting FIDs in a while loop over features in
ogrFIDs never enters the loop, despite the layer feature count reporting at least one feature.

The insurance calculator has been an excellent tool working with clients - a huge improvement on the 'back of the envelope' calculation the client had experienced with a previous adviser.
Excellent tool for adviser value proposition and client engagement. Best risk calculator I have seen in 20 years in the business.
I found the Risk Calculator to be highly intuitive and the client will ultimately end up with more significant cover by moving through this
I received responses from 30 prospective new clients. Of the 26 that I met with I would estimate that for at least 10 - 15 there is further work.
I met with a local solicitor for the first time and I took her through the Astute Client Engagement platform to show her our methodology when meeting a new client. She confirmed she would be referring every client to me.
There is no doubt that the only way to really see how powerful the software to be is to take it for a test drive. I can truly say that it has reopened my eyes to the ways we can make a difference to clients lives by taking on a combination of strategies simultaneously.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful
Highly recommended for most NFL fans,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pro Football Prospectus 2007: The Essential Guide to the 2007 Pro Football Season (Paperback)
Like its sister publication `Baseball Prospectus', this book is stuffed with information. `Standard football statistics are heavily context dependent - the down, distance, the location on the field, the time remaining - all of these elements influence both the goal of the play and its outcome.' The Football Prospectus team strives to improve conventional football statistics by `filtering out context-dependent effects' with mathematical formulas to best anticipate the results of the coming season. The authors claim to have predicted more playoff teams over the last three seasons than any other major football medium.
`Defense-Adjusted Value Over Average' (DVOA) is the primary criterion - this compares specific plays, players and teams to the league average. Top players have DVOAs near 30%. DVOA skews negative for better defenses, so top defenses approach a -30% DVOA. The authors also use Defensive-Adjusted Points Above Replacement' (DPAR) to measure a player's impact for an entire season. For example, if a player dominates in his first few games but then suffers a season ending injury, he is of little overall value to his team that season. Accordingly, he will have a high DVOA but a low DPAR. The introduction offers simple explanations of the complex statistical analysis, but the book can also be enjoyed without studying the authors' methodology.
The first half of the book contains an informative and entertaining write-up for each NFL franchise, often supplemented with short essays. Each team's entry further lists statistics and analysis of the 2006 schedule, five-year trends, strategic tendencies, and rankings at all positions.
The book's second half includes expanded capsules for all individual quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends and kickers. Each capsule lists both statistics for the past three years and a projection for 2007. This year players are also assigned a risk value of green, yellow or red (with one player earning his own ranking of blue).
The last few pages show top 200 player rankings for Fantasy Football, my only resource for my low-intensity preparation for FF 2007. With this information I took Frank Gore at #2 overall in two separate FF drafts.
Last year FP picked within 1.5 wins of the actual total for 14 of the NFL's 32 teams. They missed six teams' respective win totals by 4 or more wins (picking the 10-6 Saints to win 4 games and the 2-14 Raiders to win 8 were the biggest mistakes).
Based on the 2007 projected win totals, FP picks New England, Pittsburgh, Jacksonville and Denver as AFC divisional winners and Philadelphia, Green Bay, Tampa Bay and San Francisco as NFC divisional winners. New England, Jacksonville and Philadelphia were the only teams projected to reach 10 or more wins in 2007.
While the few grammatical and spelling errors are unfortunate, consideration must be given to the timeliness of the information and accompanying rush to printing. This book has been an outstanding preseason resource and I plan to reference it often during the coming season. Very highly recommended for any NFL fan looking for more than the standard cliches from the major media outlets.

I was given a room by the Wyndham Santa Barbara Staff when they knowing were aware there was a very bad odor in the room. How do you knowingly place someone in a room that doesn't meet air quality standards? Plainly put bad customer service. I am a very well-travelled person who intentionally disregarded the several other hotel options and paid more with the Wyndham because I was confident the name would guarantee me a comfortable safe stay with my son. This was a special time for Mommy & Son to get away.
I booked a vacation pkg for my stay in Fort Lauderdale through my airline. Upon arrival there wasn't any guest check in parking in the front of the hotel and the front desk staff was slower than normal but helpful. I notated details for my room request on my vacation package months in advance and upon check in reminded the concierge of my request. It appeared the request was disregarded or missed. Hmm. This was disappointing but nonetheless I was excited to begin my vacation with my son. Upon entry to the floor while exiting the elevator there was a strong potent odor. Once in the room there was an even stronger horrible smell. I advised the front desk manager. A housekeeping supervisor immediately came up. I initially thought it was pets or a wet dog or Bacteria. I was concerned as my 10 year old son with me has allergies & would have to breathe the heavy unsanitized air through the night. The housekeeping manager completely agreed with me about the odor & apologized -I believe her name was Mary, she was familiar with MY ROOM and commented that she tried to remove the smell earlier that day before my check in. She sprayed the room again with a deodorizer --curtains, bed and floor. The spray helped for about an hour a manager came by but shortly thereafter, to no avail the odor returned and was still present. Mary was passionate about her job but the situation wasn't her fault at all. A maintenance man later brought a square medium size air filtering machine (noisy) for me to run through the night in hopes it would help. They BOTH indicated that someone burned something in a neighboring room & they couldn't get the smell out. They both showed me the vents where there was evidence of gel air freshener clips that were placed inside of it before my arrival to help with the smell, but nothing helped. For 2 nights of my stay they didn't have a room to move me. My PROBLEM WAS: Why would you put a guest in a room when you KNOWINGLY are aware of the intense ODOR? To their advantage they were fully booked. The smell was so bad I bought candles to try to eliminate the odor. I advised the manager of this. Mary did a superior job with the set up – the kitchen, floors, the bed and the tub, but the odor was relentless. Not what I envisioned my first night the horrific smell and then 3 people in & out of your room & the tele ringing! Vacation? They hurriedly were inquiring about my room but NO ACTION WAS given. We tried to stay out and venture Florida mostly to avoid the room as much as possible. The last 2 nights of my stay a room became available and we were finally moved. It was fresher!!! Upon check out I was encouraged to contact Wyndham's corporate office & was provided a wrong number-perhaps a simple mistake. I found another # online and left a message. Weeks later without any return calls I followed up with Wyndham's corporate office & was curtly advised by Brandon at 800-407-5200 to contact my airlines vacation planner. Why would my airline address a problem that occurred at a local hotel? Odd. Weeks had already passed and if I was given the proper direction in the beginning from Wyndham or received a returned call I would have contacted the airline first. I actually thought the hotel resort would be receptive to any concerns brought to their attention. After discussing my concern with my airline they were so kind & understanding. I wish I called them Day 1 upon check in. They also shared with me the written response from the hotel manager which surprised me as they lied about their accommodations that were offered to me. This particular property I encourage everyone to stay away from. The business practices for Wyndham Santa Barbara were unheard of and completely unethical. It's unfortunate and inexcusable.

My biggest issue with my family have been organizing clothes. And when everyone is in a hurry clean clothes get mixed with soiled clothes and so on. I purchased several of these for the laundry room. Each person in the household has their name on it in great big letters. I purchased one for clean laundry when it comes out of the dryer we have a dumping ground and one for soiled laundry waiting to be sorted. This eliminated clothes being put on the floor of the laundry room. These basket are durable, the roll around easy and they are big. I even purchased one for household linen, towels and misc stuff so everyone has their own hamper and no more confusing over what's clean or soiled or who clothes are being washed. I love this!!! This also helped me to get over washing every day since I know all clothes are seperated by individual and if that person does not want to assist or makes me upset in any manner, I just rolled their hamper out to the garage!!! A must buy for the wanna be neat freak but never knew how to organize.
I love this product! We bought 2 of them because we have a large laundry room and we have 4 children. We go through a LOT of laundry and we needed hampers that could handle it all. These are sturdy and a great size! You can fit quite a bit of laundry in each one. The hamper bag is very sturdy and can be removed to wash. These hampers have made doing laundry so much more pleasant to deal with. I cannot say enough good things about this product!! They are worth the money! My only regret is that we did not get them sooner!
The price is what first prompted me to purchase the hamper from Walmart, I had originally found it on another stores website for almost twice the price. Although the measurements were clearly posted in the product description, I didnt grasp the enormity of this hamper...it is HUGE. I bought it for my daughters closet, it fits in the space we had intended, but it holds more clothes than she could wear in a week, I think we would need to put her bedding and some towels in to actually fill it up. Once I assembled it, my kids decided to climb inside and push each other around in it over carpet and the hamper met the challenge. All in all, I would say that this is a heck of a hamper for the price.
Very nice construction. We use ours to catch laundry that we send down our laundry chute. It's a good size, and will hold a few loads of laundry. Very easy to assemble, and take apart (If you want to wash the bag).
My wife has a neurological condition that affects her balance, so carrying laundry from room to room was very challenging. This hamper has solved our problem with a very sturdy frame, high quality rollers, and the easy to remove canvas for washing when needed. The product costs a little more than I wanted to pay, but after seeing and using it, it is worth every penny.
Well made. Holds 2-3 loads of laundry.
Item is very large make sure to check dimensions.
This is a high quality hamper with excellent size capability. It holds about 6-7 loads of laundry which I needed for a large household. And it's a great price for the quality. I highly recommend it.
We put this under our laundry chute, it holds a weeks worth of laundry for us including bedding. Then the large wheels just let me push it to the washer. It is exactly what we wanted to keep the dirty laundry contained in the basement.
I have had several rolling laundry baskets and this one is by far the best! It is very large and will hold a weeks worth of laundry for three people. It is sturdy and well made.
We just moved into a large one story home that has hardwood floors, tile and a lot of area rugs. I wanted something that rolled over all of those floorings without being a problem and this hamper fits the bill. It is deep, well made, and very easy to roll, even over the transition from carpet to wood/tile. I had read the reviews on this and they were all really good, so I purchased it. I did have one BIG problem, it would not fit through the door to my very large walk-in closet. My master bedroom closet must be a smaller size than normal, but since no one mentioned it in a review, I never really compared the dimension of it to my door way. My husband tried to pull it in, but it is very sturdy and did not budge enough to get it through the door. However, my son is very strong and was able to bend it an inch or so and I can keep it in our closet and roll to the other bedrooms to collect any towels, sheets, or dirty items. I was afraid it would cause a problem with the balance and rolling of the cart, but it worked out for us. Even though we had a problem, that was not the product's issue, but mine for not measuring our closet door where I wanted to keep it. This product definitely earned a 5 star and well worth the money.
Bought a cheaper one and had to return it same day. The wheels broke off as soon as you tried to roll it. Seen this one for a little more and was worth it. Cheaper is not better in this case. Very happy with this laundry hamper. Sturdy. Will last a long time.
This is a solid hamper. We are a family of 6 and require a hamper that will hold it's own in this house! This one is easy to assemble, rolls nicely even on carpet and the material is not thin and cheap.
Nice heavy duty rolling basket. Holds everything clothes, sheets, blankets, towels bathroom rugs. Getting a second one for hubby's closet.
well made--wheels high quality.....makes laundry more accessible as I don't have to pick up a heavy laundry basket any more.
this is a great hamper..holds lots of towels and blankets..well made..
Great for large loads. Sturdy and easy to assemble.
Commercial Hamper on wheels. When I ordered I guess I didn't pay any attention to the word "Commercial". Even though I wash once a wk I wanted a basket on wheels so I wouldn't have to wait for my husband to lift it to the laundry rm. Much bigger than I expected. 32" tall. The lining is very very heavy duty and the wheels are commercial size. It is definitely worth what I payed for it.
It's Oaky
My wife had been looking for a good hamper for 2 or 3 years. We had purchased two or three different ones. The others either didn't hold enough laundry, weren't sturdy enough, or didn't roll well. This Whitmor hamper is sturdy, holds a ton of clothes, and rolls very smoothly. It's just the right size--deep enough but not too deep to retrieve clothes from the very bottom.

Behind the Gate: Inventing Students in Beijingby Fabio Lanza
View All Available Formats & Editions
On May 4, 1919, thousands of students protested the Versailles treaty in Beijing. Seventy years later, another generation demonstrated in Tiananmen Square. Climbing the Monument of the People's Heroes, these protestors stood against a relief of their predecessors, merging with their own mythology while consciously deploying their activism. Through an investigation
On May 4, 1919, thousands of students protested the Versailles treaty in Beijing. Seventy years later, another generation demonstrated in Tiananmen Square. Climbing the Monument of the People's Heroes, these protestors stood against a relief of their predecessors, merging with their own mythology while consciously deploying their activism. Through an investigation of twentieth-century Chinese student protest, Fabio Lanza considers the marriage of the cultural and the political, the intellectual and the quotidian, that occurred during the May Fourth movement, along with its rearticulation in subsequent protest. He ultimately explores the political category of the "student" and its making in the twentieth century.
Lanza returns to the May Fourth period (1917-1923) and the rise of student activism in and around Beijing University. He revisits reform in pedagogical and learning routines, changes in daily campus life, the fluid relationship between the city and its residents, and the actions of allegedly cultural student organizations. Through a careful analysis of everyday life and urban space, Lanza radically reconceptualizes the emergence of political subjectivities (categories such as "worker," "activist," and "student") and how they anchor and inform political action. He accounts for the elements that drew students to Tiananmen and the formation of the student as an enduring political category. His research underscores how, during a time of crisis, the lived realities of university and student became unsettled in Beijing, and how political militancy in China arose only when the boundaries of identification were challenged.

What People are saying about this
A complete reconceptualization, this book challenges us to think about many of the categories of historical analysis to which we have become accustomed. An unsettling and, for that reason, stimulating read.
Rebecca E. Karl, New York University
Lanza makes student politics come alive by presenting in vivid detail the everyday routines of going to class, taking exams, finding a place to live, buying books, socializing, and even choosing what to wear, and then explaining how these lived realities contributed to the extraordinary movements and events authored by students and in which they were swept up. To be young and modern in the old capital's avant-garde universities was a complicated business and deserves the nuanced and theoretically sophisticated methods Lanza musters to get inside the heads and habits, dreams and anxieties, of a generation of political activists and educational pioneers.
David Strand, Dickinson University
Fabio Lanza's study of student activism in early-twentieth-century Beijing explodes the boundaries of our understanding of the critical intellectual revolution that we refer to as the May Fourth movement.
Madeleine Zelin, author of The Merchants of Zigong: Industrial Entrepreneurship In Early Modern China
A well-crafted and thought-provoking work. Lanza compels us to confront the historical legacy of the May Fourth movement in China-and student politics in general-in a radically new light. This is the most sophisticated attempt by a historian to reinterpret an episode that has always occupied a central place in the historiographyand in the imagination-of modern China.
Michael Tsin, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
The May Fourth movement is one of the most studied events in modern Chinese history, yet Lanza has come up with a strikingly original and compelling new way to approach it. Theoretically sophisticated but written with verve, Behind the Gate places campus life and campus politics of the early 1900s into an exciting perspective that shifts our attention to issues of space, highlighting the process by which 'the student' emerged as a significant social type and political actor. This book is an important addition to the rich literature about one of the great turning points in China's recent past.
Jeffrey Wasserstrom, University of California, Irvine

Lovely 1813 O-109 Half, MS651813 50C MS65 NGC. O-109, R.3. This is a late die state with extensive obverse and reverse flowlines that tend to obscure certain details, such as the leaves in the branch on the reverse. For that reason, this example could be called a "Single Leaf" variety, although a shadow of the second leaf above the branch is still visible. Ivory surfaces exhibit full luster with pastel green and blue toning at the border.(Registry values: N4719) (NGC ID# 24EZ, PCGS# 6103)

The Draped Bust Half Dollars of 1796-1797 by Jon Amato is the culmination of more than 10 years of research into the Draped Bust Small Eagle half dollar series, one of the most coveted type coins in American numismatics and one about which remarkably little has been written.
This work will be the premier reference for 1796-1797 half dollars for years to come. Institutions having an extensive numismatic library or coin cabinet will find it a valuable complement to their holdings, and catalogers charged with writing up specimens for auction can now have an indispensable source of background and pedigree information. Likewise, coin dealers seeking to purchase one or more '96 or '97 half dollars for a client or for inventory, and collectors who own, have owned, or desire to own one will want this important reference work for their libraries.

Product Description
Product Description
In Ron Howard's thrilling follow-up to The Da Vinci Code, expert symbologist Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) follows ancient clues on a heart-racing hunt through Rome to find the four Cardinals kidnapped by the deadly secret society, the Illuminati. With the Cardinals' lives on the line, and the Camerlengo (Ewan McGregor) desperate for help, Langdon embarks on a nonstop, action-packed race through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, and the most secretive vault on Earth!
If the devil is in the details, there's a lot of wicked fun in Angels & Demons, the sequel (originally a prequel) to The Da Vinci Code. Director Ron Howard delivers edge-of-your-pew thrills all over the Vatican, the City of Rome, and the deepest, dankest catacombs. Tom Hanks is dependably watchable in his reprised role as Professor Robert Langdon, summoned urgently to Rome on a matter of utmost urgency--which happens to coincide with the death of the Pope, meaning the Vatican is teeming with cardinals and Rome is teeming with the faithful. A religious offshoot group, calling themselves the Illuminati, which protested the Catholic Church's prosecution of scientists 400 years ago, has resurfaced and is making extreme, and gruesome, terrorist demands. The film zooms around the city, as Langdon follows clues embedded in art, architecture, and the very bone structure of the Vatican. The cast is terrific, including Ewan McGregor, who is memorable as a young protégé of the late pontiff, and who seems to challenge the common wisdom of the Conclave just by being 40 years younger than his fellows when he lectures for church reform. Stellan Skarsgard is excellent as a gruff commander of the Swiss Guard, who may or may not have thrown in with the Illuminati. But the real star of the film is Rome, and its High Church gorgeousness, with lush cinematography by Salvatore Totino, who renders the real sky above the Vatican, in a cataclysmic event, with the detail and majesty of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. --A.T. Hurley

"We will destroy your four pillars. We will brand your preferiti and sacrifice them on the altars of science then bring your Church down upon you. Vatican City will be consumed by light. A shining star at the end of the Path of Illumination."
The above comes from this thrilling movie that was directed (and co-produced) by Ron Howard. This movie is based on Dan Brown's novel of the same name. (Brown was also co-executive producer of this movie.)
This film is a sequel to the movie "The Da Vinci Code" (2006). (Note that Dan Brown's novel "The Da Vinci Code" (2003) was actually written after Brown's novel "Angels & Demons" (2000)).
The quotation that opens this review is actually a message sent to the Vatican from a secret and ancient scientific organization called the "Illuminati." This organization wants to kill the four favourite cardinals (or senior priests) considered to be Pope (the "preferiti"). As well, the Illuminati want to destroy Vatican City in a blaze of light using a bomb--not just an ordinary bomb but an "antimatter" bomb. Note that:
(ordinary matter) + (antimatter) = (annihilation)
At his point, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks reprising his role) is summoned by the Vatican. His along with a woman scientist's (Ayelet Zurer) mission is to save the four preferiti and locate the antimatter bomb.
I liked this movie because I found it to be an interesting blend of the ancient with cutting-edge science. This movie is also beautifully filmed with equally beautiful background music.
One word of caution: you have to pay careful attention when watching this movie. If you don't, you will likely get lost, and the rest of the movie will not make sense.Read more ›
Famous symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to Rome to decode threats to the Vatican being made, apparently, by an ancient secret society that was once condemned, hunted down and killed by the Roman Catholic Church for it's idealogical differences, and is now seeking its long-awaited revenge. A higly volatile and extremely explosive container filled with the world's first suspended anti-matter is the their weapon of mass destruction that also bears a perfect symbolic metaphor used in the sects arcane writings. Call in Robert Langdon ...
In retrospect, all the familiar Dan Brown formulae are there, for Brown clearly writes from a very standard template. After reading a few of his books his pre-set structure makes itself pretty apparent, making them less engrossing reads as you can begin to predict what benevolent character is going to turn into the bad guy, and what enormous, world-shattering mystery is NOT going to be explained finally, but in a taunting and manipulative way, is going to be whipped out of your grasp and left to dissipate in a classic "Brownian" refusal to pay up. That the movie version of "Angels and Demons" is so UTTERLY engrossing and involving to the point where you suspend all critical analysis while watching is as much a testament to Howard's skill as a top-notch director as it is to Browns writing, brilliantly suspenseful as it is.Read more ›

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2016 Ford Fiesta
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.4
2012 Ford Fiesta sub-compact is the first American in the sub-compact segment that can actually run in the same circles as the
Honda Fit,
Toyota Yaris and
Nissan Versa. The 2012 Ford Fiesta is available as both a 4-door
sedan and 5-door
hatchback (Ford calls it the "Hatch"), and runs the price range from entry-level bare-bones to a nicely-equipped commuter pushing into the $20,000 range. Beyond its slick European good looks, impressive 40-mpg fuel economy, and fun-to-drive factor, the 2012 Ford Fiesta sub-compact is loaded with features uncommon in this class, including a wide variety of wild interior and exterior color choices, a watered-down version of Ford's popular SYNC audio and communications system, and more interior room that one would expect.
If you're looking for a fuel-efficient small car, but you don't want to sacrifice the interior quality or modern features usually only found on larger, more expensive cars, the 2012 Ford Fiesta sub-compact is an easy choice.
If you're all about room and high resale, the Honda Fit trumps the Fiesta in both categories. Newer models such as the
Hyundai Accent and
Kia Rio offer just as much styling and features as the Fiesta, but at a lower price.
The 2012 Ford Fiesta sub-compact sedan and hatchback adds two new interior option packages to the SEL and SES trims, sees a revised Sport Package with more features, and makes integrated side blind-spot mirrors standard on all models.
Having driven the European Ford Fiesta, we were certain Ford would water down the car's excellent chassis to better suit American drivers. But, to our surprise and...
... delight, the 2012 Ford Fiesta subcompact remains intact. On the highway, the Fiesta delivers a ride that is both comfortable and controlled, with only mild wind buffeting outside the windows to distract from an otherwise quiet interior. Push the Fiesta through a curving on-ramp or twisting back road and you'll discover a little slice of heaven on four wheels. We're not big fans of electric power steering systems, which generally deliver better fuel economy at the expense of driving feel, but the Fiesta's qualifies as one of the less-compromised units. If there is one drawback to the 2012 Fiesta's playful nature it can be found in the rather anemic 4-cylinder engine. With the 5-speed manual transmission, the driver can keep the rpm high enough to get some decent acceleration on level surfaces, but Fiestas equipped with the dual-clutch automatic lack a manual-control option, meaning you're at the mercy of the transmission computer for your fun.
Ford's voice-controlled SYNC infotainment system continues to grow ever more robust and desirable.
Integrated Blind Spot Mirrors
Standard on the side mirrors of every 2012 Ford Fiesta are small secondary mirrors that find cars hiding in those nebulous areas between peripheral vision and mirror coverage.
If you're looking for a reason to purchase the 2012 Ford Fiesta over its Japanese and Korean competitors, it can be found in the car's interior. Ford has done a masterful job with both the Fiesta's interior styling and execution, offering a number of interior packages, including white/black leather seating, black leather with contrasting piping, and plum leather seating surfaces. Soft-touch surfaces reside where you'd expect and require them to be (armrest, console lid, steering wheel) and high-end options include heated front seats, push-button start and multi-color selectable ambient lighting. Missing from the 2012 Ford Fiesta's option list is navigation, something most of is competitors offer. However, given the affordability of aftermarket units from Garmin, not to mention the widening use of Google Maps via most smart phones, this omission is not a glaring one.
The 2012 Ford Fiesta subcompact can be had in either 4-door sedan form or as a 5-door hatchback - the "Hatch." While the sedan's trunk does offer a bit more security, we think in this segment the Hatch makes much more sense. We applaud Ford for not handicapping entry-level Fiesta models with cheap-looking unpainted parts and ugly wheel covers, an attribute that makes even the least-expensive 2012 Ford Fiesta sub-compact appear upscale. Of course, the more money you're willing to lay down, the fancier the Fiesta becomes. Upper-end trims include such nice details as chrome-bezel surrounds for the LED parking lamps, sporty 17-inch aluminum wheels and a host of bright paint colors. Also worth noting is the Fiesta's capless fuel filler that negates the need for a twist-off fuel cap.
A 2012 Ford Fiesta S sedan includes air conditioning, 4-speaker AM/FM audio system with auxiliary audio input jack, four-way adjustable steering wheel, a 5-speed manual transmission and the same fun suspension and powertrain found in every Fiesta. It also gets all the safety goodies, like electronic stability control and seven airbags – including the category's first driver's-side knee airbag. Base model shortcomings include 15-inch covered steel wheels, roll-'em-up manual crank windows and not even the option of SYNC or SIRIUS Satellite radio.
A fully-loaded 2012 Ford Fiesta includes a 6-speed automatic transmission, leather seats, moonroof, keyless entry and start, voice-controlled SYNC smart phone integration, steering wheel-mounted audio and cruise controls, heated seats, satellite radio and a trip computer. Step back five or 10 years, read that list again, and try to imagine the price – and badge – on such a car.
The 2012 Ford Fiesta's 4-cylinder engine is relatively smooth and strong, but it's more notable for its fuel efficiency than its power. Transmission choices include a 5-speed manual and Ford's first dual-clutch automatic transmission. Compared to a traditional automatic, the 6-speed "PowerShift" unit delivers more direct engagement, faster shifts and greater fuel economy. To attain Ford's much-hyped 40-mpg highway fuel-economy rating, you have to pay for the Super Fuel Economy (SFE) Package, which makes the car a bit more aerodynamic, a tad lighter and probably compromises handling to some degree, thanks to special mileage-maxing tires.
1.6-liter in-line 4
120 horsepower @ 6,350 rpm
112 lb-ft of torque @ 5,000 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 29/38 (manual), 29/39 (automatic), 29/40 (automatic w/SFE package)

"This was the car that I received during a rental. It is a nice car, I will admit, however there are some things that could be desired. Driving is great in it - turns are very easy and smooth. Braking is a breeze, as long as you don't press down onto the break too hard. As for what could be desired, the seats are uncomfortable for me. I am used to the seats in the Nissan Versa that when I sit in this car, it is very stiff and rigid, and I am one of those who enjoys sitting up straight. Another thing that annoys me is the annoying dashboard humps. Seriously, when you are short, it doesn't matter how much you pump up your seat, it can make it rather hard to see. Yes, it adds to the appearance but its effectiveness is a no go."

"Owned this car for two years. Avg 39 mpg since purchase; includes stop and go Seattle rush hour traffic. Fun to drive and look at. This is an ideal car for the economical commuter, and for doing city trips where tight, nimble parking is required. It handles well in elements and we've taken it camping. Hatchback fits a surprising amount of stuff. Great to couple with a more utility vehicle if you're in a 2+ car household. Love the manual ecoboost; DO NOT recommend the automatic. I frequently travel for work (meaning I drive a lot of compacts), and the experience difference between the auto and the manual is jarring. I also appreciate that you can downgrade the sync system (i.e. not use MyFord Touch). I like the downgraded version a lot as it syncs well with my iPhone and isn't overpowering. Though it can be a little finicky. (I strongly dislike talking cars and computer screens in cars etc; they do not age well and I do not enjoy them) The comfort upgrade is nice, too. Warming seats, without an excessive price-tag or too many other unnecessary features (I'm a low feature guy)."

"This car was my very car. I loved it when it had less miles. I took this car into several ford dealerships during the 36000 warranty for transmission problems. The car shutters really bad after you've driven it for a few miles in a day. It was pretty bad, the car felt like it was going to break down but luckily to this day it has not. There were several other issues that arose as the car aged. I had the radiator fan go out on me, one of the door latches went out, and lastly one of the speakers went out. The car handles beautifully though. This car has some of the best tuned steering I have ever driven. It stops fairly well, it handles, though it is a bit slow, it is pretty good considering it is a sub compact. In comparison to the rest of the subcompacts, I find the Fiesta to be the best. I would recommend this car to someone who wants something nice but is on a budget. I definitely recommend purchasing this car within warranty because of the little issues that have come up, the car has not depreciated very well either. Bought it in 2013 with 15k miles at about $15k and 3 years later the kbb value is less than half that (about $6k) I know that's somewhat expected though."

I am one who usually never goes to urgent care because I have a great family doctor. It was a Sunday and I was feeling pretty bad. It was the worst decision and waste of money. First off, my bp was really high and nurse didn't seem to be concerned. 159/94 when my norm is 122/72. Then rather than a doctor I had to see a nurse practitioner. She was very young and only spent 10 min with. Told her I was having sinus infection symptoms. Made the mistake of telling I just had one before New Years and was on an antibiotic. She assumed I did not have one because I was on an antibiotic five weeks prior. I was also having flu symptoms, but she refused to test me. Sent me home saying it was viral. She said no need to worry about my bp and sent me home. Saw my family doc Tuesday. Prescribed me Bactrim for a sinus infection. I lost three days of work and wasted money going there. Do not waste your time!

in python it is common to define user-defined exceptions so they can return some user-defined test/output/whatever when an error happened in a user-defined class. But I wonder, if there is a good practice to handle exceptions for a given class in python? In detail, I have the following questions:
Should all the class-related exceptions go into the file that defines the python class, or should they go into a specific file?
Should exceptions be defined for any conceivable case of things that should rise an exception, or is it 'ok' to just define a general exception for a class and to print out details of where and what happened in the wrong way by giving some additional text?
I would appreciate if someone could post an example of how a user-defined exception could/should look like, so to see the reason why it is a good thing to define your own specific exception class.
