Description: Terry Loane's period comedy-drama Jonjo and Mickybo (also released under the title Mickybo and Me) unravels in Belfast, Ireland circa 1970, at the outset of the violence that began to erupt at that time and plagued the country for decades. It observes the allegorical friendship that develops between two young boys living on radically opposed sides of the city: Micky Boyle (nicknamed Mickybo and played by John Joe McNeill) - a consummate troublemaker and one child of many in a large Catholic family - and Johnjo (Niall Wright), an only child torn between the attentions of his mother and his maritally unfaithful father. The two boys hatch a plot to swipe a gun and go on the lam to Australia, as outlaws ala Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid.~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Lewis may drive the car but he does have a say in the tyre choice. How often are they going to say it was not his fault but the guys in the pit lane. He knows the rules about the tyres so he should have highlighted this to the team when they called him in. Don't get me wrong it is amazing what he has done and his arrogance when overtaking reminds me of a certain Mr Schumacher. He will be World Champ and probably rival Michael only time will tell. Its a pity that he could not have had Michael in his team to help him with Michaels experiance and Lewis' skill there would be no stopping him.

Managing databases on KDE
Knoda is a user-friendly KDE program that makes database management an intuitive experience. In Part 2 of our workshop, we investigate how to create forms and print reports with Knoda.
Last month you learned how to formulate queries for multiple tables in Knoda. This month, you'll discover how to create tables, forms, and reports. The workshop assumes you will be working with the Sqlite2 driver, although you should be able to follow the examples with any other database. For example, Box 1 shows you how to configure Knoda to interface with MySQL. Users with Suse Linux 9.1 may need to do some repair work. If you updated KDE to 3.3.2, YaST may have installed some older Knoda packages. In this case, you will need to reinstall Knoda.

The Earffel Tower, icon of Walt Disney Studios Park, will soon have a brand new face. As part of a general (and as we seem to always say, much-needed) refurbishment of the water tower in the Front Lot entrance of the park, the opportunity is also being taken to replace the original 2002 "filmstrip" logo with a new-look design.
Based on current progress, the "new" logo appears to have more classic, maroon red-coloured lettering with a simple black outline on a plain background. Without doubt the look has the potential to be much more 1930s in style, boding well for any future changes to the entrance of the park, which lacks any definable time period setting.
In terms of its actual typeface and size, the logo is similar if not identical to before, with only the "Walt Disney" letters flattened out from their wavy design following the filmstrip in the original, which used a modern palette of blue, yellow and red. The typeface, similar to ITC Anna, remains the same as seen around the area, including lettering on Disney Studio 1.
A very rough current approximation of the new logo (typeface not fully accurate)
For Walt Disney Studios Park, it's a wise and very welcome decision to come up with a logo design unique to the very prominent Earffel Tower.
The 2002 logo was created primarily for the promotion of the park in brochures and park guides, not to provide any kind of thematic detail within the park itself. Until now, adorned with just the standard modern park logo, the famous water tower hasn't actually felt part of a specific period or place you're being transported to. After all, you don't see the garish pink Disneyland Park marketing logo on the entrance to that park.
Over in Florida, the Earful Tower remains somewhat hidden away at the back of the park, so less important thematically, though it too had a recent rebranding with the name change from Disney-MGM Studios to Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Elsewhere in the Paris park, a similar maroon colour was used to great effect on the Walt Disney Television Studios building, replacing its cold original turquoise colours.
Main Street, U.S.A. and Frontierland have begun their transformation by ghosts and pumpkins respectively, ahead of Disney's Halloween Festival beginning in just ten days.
Decorations arriving in the two Disneyland Park lands look broadly similar to recent years, following the festival's gradual reinvention from 2010 onwards.
Today's latest photos by InsideDLParis show the ghosts introduced to Main Street in 2012 returning with modest changes. Unlike the Pumpkinmen, who from 2003 painted the street orange with complete disregard for its storyline, one of the best things about the popular ghosts is that they reference numerous Main Street locations — including the Dr Bitz Dental School on Town Square, below.
Plenty of banners and "funky pumpkins" are already present, too.
Over in Frontierland, the Pumpkinmen actually had a slight reprieve, returning as "Harvest Festival" decorations alongside sunflower bunting and softer autumn colours. Their slightly menacing, jagged grins these days replaced by softer smiles, their context here is much more fitting than Main Street, even if the way some are bolted to the ground on large visible plates still seems a little "un-Disney".
A minor revision in Frontierland sees the banners changed from orange and yellow to orange and black, as in Main Street.
One bigger change for 2014 is the scene on Royal Castle Stage. Previously briefly home to Mickey's Halloween Treat in the Street show, now superseded by Mickey's Halloween Celebration parade, the unused Le Théâtre du Château has lost its giant Mickey Mouse-shaped pumpkin, replaced by a smaller sunflower centrepiece.
The green vines entwining its towers have also yet to return, so it looks likely, without any show to present, that the stage overlay will now remain more low-key.
The introduction of a more "Harvest" style of spookiness is perhaps in line with rumours that Disneyland Paris will look to extend the Halloween season in coming years, perhaps having it begin earlier in September. Helping to spread the popularity of the season into an otherwise empty month, this would also support plans to invest more in new and better annual seasons, such as Swing into Spring, in favour of tiresome year-long "non-festivals" such as 2011's Disney Magical Moments Festival.
Disneyland Paris has trialled a live Frozen sing-along event at the indoor Videopolis Theatre in Discoveryland. Taking place five times daily only this past weekend on 13th and 14th September, the 18-minute show — of sorts — saw a duo of live hosts take to the stage and encourage the audience to sing-along to popular songs from the hit movie including, of course, the inescapable smash "Let It Go".
Using only English versions of the film's songs, played out with film clips and classic sing-along subtitles on the large projection screen, the tests at least saw the two highly competent, energetic hosts engaging the audience in both French and English to some surprising success, given Europeans' usual dislike of participation shows.
• Previously — Disney's Oscar-winning, billion dollar Frozen is not just for Christmas anymore
That said, and as announced in advance, the shows featured no live characters from the film and ultimately play out rather too much like watching the sing-along version of a DVD in a music class, right down to the awkward overhead projector.
For a lesson in how it should be done (or perhaps, how it will be done — see below), Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World already hosts the catchily-titled For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration as part of its surprisingly shrewd Frozen Summer Fun season.
• Photos Magiques – Walt Disney World: Frozen Sing-Along Celebration
Though still not the full stage show many desire (and will likely have to visit Broadway to see), the event at least feels close to the film, rather than some unlicensed cash-in, and features the characters you'd expect.
We don't know where Disneyland Paris might take the concept for themselves — whether they'd decide to include the characters instead of these generic hosts or perhaps perform shows with the songs in other languages — but we do appear to know the location that such a show could end up: The Chaparral Theater in Frontierland.
As noted by @InsideDLParis, the theatre is currently behind green construction walls.
Another currently wasted performance space, the former home of The Tarzan Encounter has the benefit of being bigger and, well, slightly more rustic-y. The stage has even previously had a snowy overlay for the long-running Mickey's Winter Wonderland that wouldn't look entirely out of place as Wandering Oaken's Trading Post and Sauna.
What do you think — should Disneyland Paris run with this concept of a fully-fledged Frozen Sing-Along show or let it… well, you know?

Antonella and Jonathan are about to hand over to a new pair of Disney "ambassadors". The Disneyland Paris Ambassador Team for 2015-2016 will be announced on 3rd October 2014 at a public ceremony in Videopolis Theatre, Discoveryland at 11am.
No less than ten semi-finalists have been selected from those who applied for the roles, pictured below, chosen from all corners of the resort to represent Disneyland Paris Cast Members on the public stage for events and promotions.
The 2013-2014 team, Antonella Giallombardo and Jonathan Rabeute, will continue as ambassadors until the end of the year, when the new recruits will take over.
This year marks a special milestone for the Disney Ambassador Program as it records its 50th Anniversary, to be celebrated at the ceremony next month, having begun in 1964 at the hands of master Disneyland marketeer Jack Lindquist.
At Disneyland Paris, the visibility of the programme has improved noticeably in recent years, not least thanks to the use of social media, and helped by a run of enthusiastic and knowledgeable representatives, each truly raising the bar (tip: great Cast Members who also happen to be real fans make perfect ambassadors).
Originally just seeing a single candidate elected, the Disneyland Paris programme now elects two Ambassadors to represent the resort for two years.
• Photos — Every Disneyland Paris Ambassador in pictures
• Ambassadors in action — Ratatouille: The Adventure opening day ceremony
While Osvaldo and Régis got to enjoy the 20th Anniversary and Antonella and Jonathan excelled at the Ratatouille grand opening events, we don't yet know what our next two ambassadors could be cutting the ribbon on in the next two years… but we wish all semi-finalists, and the selected ambassadors, the very best of luck.
Update — The finalists of the 2015-2016 Disneyland Paris Ambassador selection have been announced today; they are: Sonia Demay, Romina Grochow, Anthony Houdinet and Rut Sospedra.
Mickey's Halloween Celebration will receive its third new, original float for the upcoming Disney's Halloween Festival at Disneyland Paris. The daily cavalcade is to be expanded for 2014 with "Raise the Rafters!", a float featuring the Three Little Pigs, Clarabelle and Horace Horsecollar, pictured above for the first time in official concept art.
Those rare characters will stand amongst a spooky purple barnyard, entangled in the branches of trees with crows overhead and colourful mushrooms amongst the pumpkins on the floor of autumnal leaves. This final concept art was released by D23 in a recent feature on the season.

Joining the two dedicated Halloween floats introduced for the event's debut last year, "Raise the Rafters!" will expand the Harvest-themed mini-parade, due to be performed three times daily and featuring up to 60 performers. Certainly a step-change for Halloween celebrations at Disneyland Paris, which previously only featured Halloween as an adjunct the main daily parade on a temporary seasonal float.
Last year's floats were reportedly built from the bones of former Disney's Fantillusion floats, so we can likely assume that a carcass from the thoroughly defunct nighttime parade has been recycled again — any guesses which one?
Original theme song "Vive La Vie" will return after a popular debut in 2013, as will Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Chip, Dale, Clarice, Uncle Scrooge, Donald and all three of his nephews, while Daisy will be promoted to lead the parade as "Miss Harvest 2014".
Watch the 2013 edition of Mickey's Halloween Celebration below
Disneyland Paris has been named a three-star tourist attraction by the famous Michelin Green Guides, the highest distinction from the travel publisher. The accolade was accepted by ambassadors Jonathan and Antonella, dedicating it to the Cast Members who "offer daily hospitality and quality service to our visitors".
Listed separately as Disneyland Paris and Walt Disney Studios, the two Disney parks are now both marked as "Highly Recommended" three-star attractions on Michelin's Paris travel guide. Looking at the competition, Parc Astérix to the north of Paris has only a two-star "Recommended" rating, though the mouse shouldn't be too complacent — Disney Village is marked out by only a single star.
Many will of course remember the excellent series of classic Green Guides or "Guides Vert" and fold-out maps produced by Michelin in the early years of the resort. Providing concise and clear overviews of the resort — and now, a fascinating glimpse into its history — they're well worth hunting down on places like Amazon Marketplace.
Disney's Halloween Festival is just two weeks away from its 2014 season, promising a series of new additions alongside the successful returning investments of recent years. With the call to "Join the Halloween Gang!", Disneyland Paris is focusing its marketing this year on the ever-popular Disney villains — the timely Maleficent in particular — as it launches a new promotional video and website.
Following Captain Hook, the Evil Queen, Dr Facilier and Cruella De Vil as they assemble inside a spellbound Sleeping Beauty Castle, the well-produced teaser video builds anticipation of the upcoming festival and its new Maleficent centrepieces — including a giant bramble structure in the middle of the Castle Courtyard.
Watch the new "Join the Halloween Gang!" teaser below
On the new mini-website, visitors are supposed to answer a few questions to find their perfect villain match, after providing a series of personal details (who knew the villains were so big on data collection?). You can take a look for yourself here.

CEO, president, head honcho — however you say it, Disneyland Paris has a new guy in charge as of yesterday, 15th September 2014. Tom Wolber has begun his role as Président of Euro Disney S.A.S., with outgoing chief Philippe Gas heading for Shanghai Disney Resort as its first General Manager, a sure sign of Disney's satisfaction with his tenure here.
Tom is in fact making a return to Paris, having been a part of the Grand Opening team in 1992. Since then, he has held leadership positions at Disney Cruise Line, Disney Vacation Club and Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, most recently overseeing Orlando's 28 resort hotels and transportation network. Tom is German and speaks 4 languages: French, Dutch, English and German.
It may be notable that Euro Disney badges Wolber as having overseen a number of expansion projections including the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy cruise ships and the masterplan for Disney Springs, the revitalisation of Florida's Downtown Disney. He arrives in Paris at a time of fevered rumour for expansion and revitalisation of our own resort, including attractions such as Star Tours 2, expansion of Walt Disney Studios Park and continued growth of Disney Village.
Departing president Philippe Gas will without doubt be remembered as one of the resort's most successful and charismatic CEOs. Arriving in September 2008 just as the global economic downturn bit and 15th Anniversary expansions such as The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror dried up, he took on a resort that was still all too often unreliable and erratic in the level of "Disney quality" it provided.
Six years later, the list of good decisions is so long as to be impossible to collate and attribute, but it certainly began in April 2009 with the renaming of Disneyland Resort Paris back to a strong and simple Disneyland Paris. The opening of the three lower-spec Toy Story Playland attractions in 2010 may have divided opinion, and gone almost unnoticed to the public, but this summer's grand Ratatouille: The Adventure unveiling proved a pivotal point for the resort and its second gate, expertly led from planning to construction to opening. Meanwhile, the 20th Anniversary of 2012 provided a landmark with Disney Dreams! — both its stunning quality and the adjoining extension of Disneyland Park operating hours continuing to equalise Paris with its international cousins.
Two new websites, new apps, new technology such as PhotoPass+ and the rollout of free wi-fi leaves plenty left to achieve, but huge ground gained. Better understanding of and communication with the fan community has been an icing on the cake, including better merchandise such as The Art of Disney on Demand and more one-off events like the 50th Anniversary of "it's a small world".
An enormous campaign of "cleaning the decks" with endless and huge refurbishment in almost every corner of the resort has coincided with a quiet plotting of future courses — the Villages Nature, Disney's own hotel expansion, Disney Village improvements and plenty rumoured for the parks. The horizon feels ever bigger, if not any closer.
What's needed now from a new president is to actually, at last, see those plans through. Countless times, grand visions have been drawn up for Disneyland Paris and its parks only to fall by the wayside. If Philippe Gas' reign was about steadying the waters and getting the ship up to standard, let's hope Tom Wolber can finally let this resort set sail.
Bring us that horizon, Tom.

Below: Official corporate video introducing Tom Wolber
Disneyland Paris has officially announced its entertainment line-up for the 2014 season of Disney's Halloween Festival, looking set to be one of the most impressive yet. Building on a full-scale reinvention of the festival over the past few years, it adds a timely Maleficent touch to the growing list of popular, and properly "Disney", entertainments.
New additions for 2014 therefore include Maleficent's Court, a villainous transformation of the Castle Courtyard behind Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant in Fantasyland, along with The Maleficent Disney Villains Promenade, a chance to meet the villains in person on Central Plaza.
Successful new features from previous years will also return, such as Mickey's Halloween Celebration parade (with, at long last, its own unique floats) and the ghosts of Main Street, U.S.A., which were introduced in 2012 to much delight from fans who had long requested a more professional, more "Disney" seasonal overlay of the land than the unpopular former Pumpkin Men (now living on in Frontierland's harvest overlay).
This gradual and continued annual investment in the festival has grown it into an incredibly strong asset for Disneyland Paris. Flitting between numerous ideas and concepts since its launch in the late 1990s, so many poorly considered and ill-fitting for a Disney park, the festival has nevertheless remained a popular time of year for visitors. Now, with the right vision and a good foundation of annual investment, it feels like it finally belongs — and lives up to expectation.
Here's the Disney's Halloween Festival 2014 press release in full:
Disneyland Paris is the place to be to meet
during Disney's Halloween Festival 2014
the gang of Disney Villains
From 1 October to 2 November 2014, Disneyland Paris is the place to be to meet the Halloween gang of Disney Villains. Every day, Maleficent will bring together the Disney Villains in a cheerfully ominous atmosphere, promising Disneyland Paris guests encounters to die (laughing) for. The Sleeping Beauty Castle Courtyard will be transformed to welcome the good Disney Villains who will take mischievous pleasure in taking over Disney's Halloween Festival.
And that's not all! During this delightfully frightening month, ghosts and "Disney's Funky Pumpkins*" will take possession of Main Street, U.S.A., astonishing pumpkins will take over the flowerbeds in Central Plaza and Frontierland will be transformed into an autumn garden, where sunflowers and pumpkins will take centre stage. Finally, Mickey and friends will offer guests a special Harvest festival-themed cavalcade, not far from Minnie's Halloween Costume Corner or the incredible candy-making machine invented by greedy Goofy, all designed to ensure Disney's Halloween Festival is a laugh a minute!
NEW: The Maleficent Disney Villains Promenade
With Maleficent in the leading position, the Disney Villains will be the unmissable stars of Disney's Halloween Festival.
The Maleficent Disney Villains Promenade
Every day, the Disney Villains will be happy to have their photos taken with guests to immortalize this fearsomely funny occasion forevermore. Together with Maleficent, the Disney Villains will parade around Central Plaza to welcome
NEW: Maleficent's Court
In the Sleeping Beauty Castle Courtyard, Maleficent and her accomplices will create an unmissable spectacle, which will be the place to be seen!
Maleficent's Court
This year, Maleficent will cast a spell on the Sleeping Beauty Castle and the Disneyland Park and will invite some of the Disney Villains to join her in the Castle Courtyard. Maleficent, surrounded by her friends, the Disney Villains, will take over the place — it has now been invaded by imposing brambles, which guests will be able to pose in front of, next to the Disney Villains.
That is how huge brambles mysteriously appear in the Castle Courtyard. Shaped like the famous horns of Maleficent herself, these brambles form the outline of an imposing dragon. As night falls, the bramble will take on a more disquieting look, immersing guests in a universe of bright, unsettling colours.
Mickey's Halloween Celebration
To celebrate Halloween and to provide guests with a unique party, Mickey and friends will offer guests a cavalcade specially dedicated to the Harvest festival, and have naturally been inspired by the autumn and Harvest theme.
Several times a day, Mickey and friends will parade in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle and along Main Street, U.S.A., surrounded by dancers wearing autumn colours.
This year, the lovely Daisy will open the cavalcade. The Three Little Pigs and Horace will join Mickey's Halloween Celebration on their brand new float "Raise the Rafters!". Surrounded by owls, black cats, spiders and bats, the Three Little Pigs, Horace and Clarabelle will dance to country music in front of their farm. A tree and an enchanted mushroom will come to life as if by magic.
As for the Disney Characters, they will be showing off their most stunning seasonal costumes. Donald will explore the wonders of autumn in a world made of straw and pumpkins, together with his inseparable nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie. Meanwhile, Uncle Scrooge will bring up the rear, determined to keep determined to keep careful watch over a strange pumpkin that appears to be worth its weight in gold…
Mickey and Minnie pay homage to the Harvest season from their huge horn of plenty, filled with autumn leaves, fruits and pumpkins. Behind them, Chip and Dale, accompanied by the charming Clarice, have taken advantage of the Harvest to steal and hoard as many hazelnuts as they can lay their hands on!
Ghosts invade Disneyland Park
They thought they could keep a low profile throughout Halloween month, but guests will only be able to unmask them and immortalise them in a photo!
The ghosts of the former residents of Main Street, U.S.A. will use Halloween as the perfect opportunity to make their grand appearance. Delighted to be able to make an appearance during Disney's Halloween Festival, they will take over Main Street, U.S.A., trying to blend into the scenery. The Park's apprentice ghost hunters will be invited to unmask them, armed with their cameras.
Hilarious encounters with Disney Characters
The Disney characters get dressed up to the nines to welcome guests in a vibrant and colourful Halloween atmosphere for those special photo opportunities with guests.
Halloween Costume Corner
Passionate about sewing and fashion, Minnie will invite guests to discover her amazing sewing workshop, specially created for Halloween. An extravagant, colourful world where everyone is encouraged to let their imagination run wild. Minnie, in her fabulous Halloween-inspired dress will no doubt jump at the opportunity to pose with her admirers.
Goofy Bonbons
Halloween would not be the same without bonbons and spells. For that reason, Goofy has designed and created a truly amazing candy-making machine to dazzle those with a sweet tooth, young and old! Fans of bonbons and Goofy will not miss the opportunity to stop in front of this astonishing machine. Goofy might even join them to make sure everything is in good working order. A moment to treasure and a chance for everyone to persuade him to share his confectionery secrets!
Jack and Sally's Cemetery (from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas © Disney)
The famous couple created by Tim Burton will be at Disneyland Paris during Halloween for a mortally enchanting encounter. The set recreates the universe of the film The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Jack and Sally in person will welcome those who will be courageous enough to meet them. A reproduction inspired by the universe of Tim Burton, Jack and Sally's Cemetery is a unique place.
NEW: Disney PhotoPass+
The perfect opportunity to capture your best moments with the Disney Villains.
Disney PhotoPass+ allows guests to collect all their souvenir photos taken on rides or with Disney Characters by Park photographers at photo locations in high definition in a virtual portfolio.
The photos are also available on a dedicated website (www.disneyphotopass.eu) and on a mobile app that enables guests to download them, share them on social networks and even purchase personalised photo products (photo albums, mugs, calendars etc.). Disney's Halloween Festival will therefore be the ideal time to capture the best poses next to the Disney Villains.
Disney's Halloween Party: the grand finale on 31 October!
Guaranteed screams, even for the bravest guests. The most magical Halloween night will take place at Disneyland Paris!
The now famous Disney's Halloween Party** will be held on 31 October 2014 in Disneyland Park. A unique experience to share with family or friends from 8.30 pm to 1 am.
Disneyland Park will reopen its doors after dark and guests will see it as they have never seen it before — in a more mysterious atmosphere than ever, with unexpected animations, terrifyingly delicious surprises and a "hellish" atmosphere. The moon will bring out the ghosts, Disney Villains and other creatures for the party, who are all ready to play their tricks around the most mysterious of places. After enjoying the many attractions Disneyland Park has to offer, guests will be able to immerse themselves in the magical extravaganza of the Disney Dreams®! night-time show.
Thrilling rides
Hair-raising, high-speed sensations!
Halloween will be the perfect occasion to test guests' vocal chords on rides that will make them tremble with fear! With The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster with Aerosmith, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril, Crush's Coaster and Space Mountain: Mission 2, Disneyland Paris will be the place to be to test the limits of the most overwhelming fears.
The Disney Villains have chosen the right occasion for their largest gathering — Disney's Halloween Festival 2014 has become autumn's unmissable event.
In an atmosphere where laughter mingles with spells cast by Maleficent, guests will find themselves immersed in a strange, delightful world that only Disneyland Paris knows how to create. To celebrate Halloween and the Harvest season with Mickey and friends, come to Disneyland Paris from 1 October to 2 November 2014.

When you've got a big new attraction and a well-received expansion to your subpar second gate, you never have enough ceremonies to celebrate it. So the stage was set in front of Ratatouille: L'Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy for the fourth time this past Thursday, 17th July 2014, for the visit of Anne Hidalgo, Maire de Paris, and one thousand Parisian children through the Disney VoluntEARS programme.
Following the Grand Opening with Bob Iger on Saturday 21st June, the second French ceremony on the same day, and the 10th July Opening Day Inauguration ceremony, this event acted as more of an inauguration for La Place de Rémy itself.
After speaking at the ceremony alongside Disneyland Paris president Philippe Gas, the Mayor of Paris unveiled an oversized dedication plaque for the square with the date of the inauguration — also by chance the anniversary of the original Disneyland.
On Ratatouille: The Adventure, Anne Hidalgo said it is "the symbolic attraction to mark the link between Paris and Disney". She later tweeted that it was the first time a Mayor of Paris has visited Disneyland Paris, and she wishes to strengthen their ties to improve tourism.
Official video — Parisian children experience the world of Ratatouille thanks to Disneyland Paris and Anne Hidalgo
Joining the mayor were 1,000 Parisian children who are members of leisure centres in the capital and aren't lucky enough to be going away this summer. They got to enjoy a full day the park with 30 Disney VoluntEARS, volunteer Cast Members participating in Disney's community outreach programme, showing them around.
Hidalgo even stepped onboard a Ratmobile next to Philippe Gas to experience the new attraction for herself — an important symbolic moment for Disneyland Paris, not least given the Parisian theme. In building a true piece of (fictionalised) Paris within its parks, has Disneyland Paris finally cemented itself as a positive force for the region?

Do you know the term "October Surprise"? It was coined in 1972 when 10 days pre-election, incumbent President Nixon sucked the remaining oxygen from Democratic candidate George McGovern's anti-Viet Nam war campaign message by declaring that peace was at hand. Ever since, the term "October Surprise" has been used to describe pre-emptive strikes by one prospective leader designed to strike a powerful blow to the opponent's election intentions. Or, as in the fun fictional case of "Wag the Dog," to help the candidate deflect attention from his own brewing scandal.
What October Surprises do you predict this year? Let's keep a running list here.

A Hereford man arrested Friday for allegedly killing a 17-month-old girl was arraigned on one count of capital murder.
Daniel Felipe Perez, 32, remained in Deaf Smith County Jail on a bond of $500,000, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Hereford police officers arrived at 402 W. Fourth St. on Friday morning and found Perez bleeding from both wrists and found Kira Tijerina, 17-months, in a crib not breathing.
An autopsy determined Tijerina died about 10 p.m. Thursday of blunt force trauma to the head, police said.
Perez was taken to Hereford Regional Medical Center and treated for self-inflicted lacerations, and was later arrested.

After a sneak peek at the full-length Ender's Game trailer and the first look at Ben Kingsley as Mazer Rachkham earlier this month, Summit Entertainment has released the first full-length trailer for director Gavin Hood's adaptation of author Orson Scott Card's popular science fiction novel.
The trailer, which heavily features stars Asa Butterfield and Harrison Ford, also gives a glimpse of what to expect from the film's take on the book's core concepts — including the final battle with the Buggers (an alien race battling for supremacy with humans), the hallways of Battle School and its children's army uniforms and the hi-tech battle room that pits Battle School students against each other in a display of supremacy and skill.
Based on the novel by Orson Scott Card and directed by Gavin Hood, Ender's Game stars Asa Butterfield as Ender Wiggin, Harrison Ford as Colonel Hyrum Graff, Sir Ben Kingsley as Mazer Rackham, Abigail Breslin as Valentine Wiggin, Hailee Steinfeld as Petra Arkanian, Viola Davis as Major Gwen Anderson and more. The film hits theaters Nov. 1.
Isn't Orson Scott Card like one of the most outspoken Homophobes in the world? Like didn't he say that all gay people should be hung?
Are you like a Valley girl, or like something else? Like, did you like hear something like and repeat like without learning, like anything about it,like?

Seventeen-year-old Jason Weatherby knows exactly why he's at the Lambert School for the Gifted. And it's not for his brains. His dad is an influential state senator. It's this same connection that lands him a spot on the secretive Chamber of Five, the elite group of students who run the school with a shadow government. When he's asked to physically assault and ruin the reputation of another student as part of his initiation, Jason sees firsthand the depravity of the Chamber, and decides to work from the inside to take it down. But Jason taps into a conspiracyand school secretsfar more insidious than he could ever have imagined. From award-winning author Michael Harmon comes a taut, thrillingly paced novel about the perils of privilege.
Editorial Reviews
As the son of a U.S. Congressman, 17-year-old Jason Weatherby knows all about power and influence.
His father's connections secured his admission into the prestigious Lambert School for the Gifted, while the geniuses for whom the school was founded have no such clout. As a sophomore, Jason joined the exclusive Youth Leadership Group, and his invitation to join the Chamber of Five in his junior year is the ultimate reward for his father's generosity. Inclusion in this elite group of upperclassmen comes with a price: Jason must convince an undesirable freshman named Thomas Singletary to leave Lambert, by any means necessary. Until Jason agrees to become a Chamber member and gets rid of Thomas, the other Chamber members ridicule and physically threaten his friend Elvis, one of the novel's few sympathetic characters. Jason's own elitism comes across in his first-person narration and may leave some readers questioning both his decisions and Harmon's choice of protagonist. Jason's decision to stage a coup d'état during the student council elections sets off a chain of events leading to the novel's dramatic conclusion, although perceptive teens may unearth the personal vendetta behind the Chamber's Machiavellian actions before Jason puts all of the pieces together.
With a cast of mostly unlikable characters, this novel of privilege and corruption proves uninspiring. (Fiction. 14 & up)

Jason Weatherby goes to Lambert School for the Gifted. His father is a U.S. Congressman and expects his son to follow him in some sort of political career and going to the elite school is part of that plan. Lambert is controlled by a group known as the Chamber of Five. Jason has just become part of the group, but now that he is one of the insiders, he is learning about the corrupt dealings of this secret group. The leader of the Chamber assigns Jason the task of having a certain freshman removed from the school. The more Jason learns, the more he realizes that something must be done to shut down the Chamber and return to control of the school to the truly gifted students instead of the power-hungry bullies. When his father gets wind of Jason's plan, his temper flairs. Fed up with his father's abusive behavior, Jason continues on with his plan because he knows it is the right thing to do. Author Michael Harmon takes readers into the inner workings of the secret society within a private school. Jason proves that it is possible to stand up to corrupt forces to change things for his fellow classmates.

Surgery Complications Decline 10% After Hospitals Share Data
Michigan hospitals cut surgical complications almost a tenth, reducing medical costs, by pooling data about practices that keep patients safer, a study found.
The portion of patients deemed ill following surgery fell to 9.7 percent after the information sharing, from 10.7 percent before, scientists said today in the Archives of Surgery. Sixteen institutions, led by the University of Michigan Health System, saved $13 million on cases of ventilator-associated pneumonia alone, the researchers said in a statement.
The program, which predated President Barack Obama's effort to cut U.S. health expenses and improve care, gets competing institutions to determine which practices are effective at preventing surgical complications, said David Share, executive medical director for health-care quality at Detroit-based Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, a not-for-profit insurer that paid the hospitals to collaborate.
"Complications are relatively rare, and any one hospital may not have enough data to see the links between processes and outcomes," said Share, a study co-author, in a telephone interview. A specialist in public health and preventive medicine, Share is affiliated with the University of Michigan Health System, based in Ann Arbor.
The study involved more than 35,000 Michigan patients and focused on general and vascular surgeries from April 2005 through December 2007. The complications seen after April 2007, by which time the collaboration was expected to have effects, were compared with those that occurred earlier.
Fewer Infections
Complications reduced the most were blood infections, septic shock, prolonged ventilator use and cardiac arrest, according to the study.
For the same time periods, data from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program, an initiative of the Chicago-based American College of Surgeons, showed no changes in the prevalence of complications for more than 280,000 patients who were treated at 126 non-Michigan hospitals, according to the report.
Under the Michigan program, Blue Cross Blue Shield reimburses hospitals for the "rigorous data collection necessary for the success of this kind of program," and provides "a little extra reward to encourage their active participation," Share said.
The collaboration now involves 34 institutions, mostly community hospitals, and they're paid to review the records of all patients, not just Blue Cross members, Share said.
"If the system was adopted nationally, not just in Michigan, I think you would find a greatly accelerated pace of surgical quality improvement," said Darrell Campbell, the lead author and a surgeon, in a statement. Campbell is chief of clinical affairs in the University of Michigan system.
Besides Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, the American Surgical Association Foundation, based in Beverly, Massachusetts, also supported the study.

VIX Contracts Signal Bigger U.S. Stock Swings Ahead
Investors haven't seen this much volatility in U.S. stocks since April, and options traders are betting there's more to come.
The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index jumped 17 percent to 12.08 last week and a similar measure for European equities surged the most in almost six months. The ratio of contracts wagering that the volatility measure known as the VIX will rise versus those betting on declines is almost 4-to-1, the highest level since before the financial crisis in 2007, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"Fear always comes in waves," Randy Warren, who manages more than $100 million at Exton, Pennsylvania-based Warren Financial Service and Associates Inc., said by phone on July 11. "Over the course of 60 to 90 days, things could get pretty ugly. You could actually see the VIX well into the 20s, 30s, maybe even the 40s."
More than $1 trillion has been wiped from the value of global stocks since a peak on July 3 as signs of financial stress at a Portuguese bank and speculation the recent rally is overdone pulled stocks down from record levels. Raymond James & Associates Inc. last week said stocks are vulnerable to losses and Citigroup Inc.'s chief U.S. equity strategist cited concerns for a "severe" pullback.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index slid 0.9 percent last week and the Stoxx Europe 600 Index dropped 3.2 percent, the worst declines in at least three months for each. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. moved forward its estimated start of Federal Reserve interest-rate increases and the parent company of Banco Espirito Santo SA, Portugal's second-largest lender, missed a debt payment.
Europe 'Illusion'
"I think the illusion that things have improved considerably in Europe is about to be shattered," Jeffrey Sica, president of Morristown, New Jersey-based Sica Wealth Management LLC, said in a phone interview on July 11. "Investors in the U.S. will begin to have to contend with the possibility of another drastic slowdown in Europe soon."
Earnings for companies in the S&P 500 expanded 4.5 percent last quarter, according to analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg that have decreased from forecasts as high as 7.3 percent in April.
Volatility Awakens
The rebound in volatility last week followed a drop in both the U.S. and European benchmark options gauges to the lowest levels in more than seven years. Each is still down more than 5 percent this year as the Fed and European Central Bank reiterated commitments to accommodative monetary policy.
The VIX, which moves in the opposite direction of the S&P 500 about 80 percent of the time, rose to 12.08 at the end of last week from 10.32 on July 3. The VStoxx Index, tracking options on the Euro Stoxx 50 Index, climbed to 16.34 last week from 12.71 on June 19, the lowest level since 2006.
The VIX fell 2.2 percent to 11.82 at 4 p.m. in New York. The VStoxx decreased 8.3 percent to 14.99.
"The volatility levels have been driven by central banks and low interest-rate policies," Juergen Lanzer, a portfolio manager on the global equities team at Alliance Trust, said in an interview. "It has hit a historical low, but it won't stay forever. In the long term, it has to normalize at some point."
Market Top?
The S&P 500 hasn't risen or fallen 1 percent on a closing basis since April 16, the longest streak of calm since 1995.
Investors have been building up protection against potential market pullbacks as both U.S. and European stock markets trade near their highs of the year. The S&P 500, which reached the highest price-to-earnings valuation since 2010 at its last record, has not had a drop of 10 percent in more than two years.
Traders own 2.1 bearish options on the S&P 500 for every bullish one, around the most since 2008. About 3.7 options betting on upside in the VIX are owned for every one wagering on its decline, the highest call-to-put ratio for the contracts since before the financial crisis.
Options betting on a 10 percent drop in the S&P 500 cost 7.56 points more than ones wagering on a 10 percent rise, according to six-month data compiled by Bloomberg. That's around the widest spread in a year, indicating that demand has picked up for protection against a pullback in equities.
'Shrugged Off'
Contracts betting on the future direction of the VIX are not forecasting any big moves in the next few months, according to Dominic Salvino, a specialist on the CBOE floor for Group One Trading, the primary market maker for VIX options.
Futures on the volatility gauge expiring this month ended last week 4.7 percent higher than the VIX's closing price of 12.08 last week, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Contracts expiring in August and September both closed with prices at or below 13.9, the volatility gauge's average over the past 12 months.
"The curve is pretty flat right now," Salvino said by phone July 11 from Chicago. "You had a big move in futures from the Portugal news, but the market has shrugged it off. There's not much on the horizon that people are afraid of."
Still, signs of debt troubles in Europe have some traders wondering if the situation could reach a magnitude similar to the European and U.S. sovereign credit turbulence in 2011. During that year, the VIX more than tripled from its April low to a high of 48 in August and the S&P 500 plunged as much as 19 percent. The VStoxx climbed 190 percent from its low to its high in 2011 as the Stoxx 600 Index dropped as much as 26 percent.
"Volatilities in the S&P 500 are very sensitive, which has not been the case for some time," Mark Caffray, who brokers options for clients at Chicago-based PTR Inc., said by phone July 11. "This could be a sign of a temporary market top."

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Senator Hank Armstrong attempts to have a tryst with Anna Malle. They check into an inexpensive hotel and get adjoining rooms. It can't be expensive because it appears to have only two employees. Michael J. Cox is the reservations clerk, desk clerk, and bellboy, while Dallas D'Amore is the maid, Armstrong's campaign manager and a camerawoman who gets the goods on the senator.
Enough plot. There are four very good anal scenes. Each of the four ladies gets plugged once (Hank does double duty with Anna and Dallas). Each of these two scenes are superior due to the energy of the ladies. Sound and color are excellent in this series that has always done well for retailers.

Pharmacological blockade of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) is the cornerstone of renoprotective therapy, and the reduction of persistent RAAS activation is considered to be an important target in the treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Vitamin D is a steroid hormone that controls a broad range of metabolic and cell regulatory functions. It acts as a transcription factor and can suppress the renin gene, thereby acting as a negative endocrine regulator of RAAS. RAAS activation can reduce renal Klotho expression, and the Klotho–fibroblast growth factor 23 interaction may further reduce the production of active vitamin D. Results from both clinical and experimental studies suggest that vitamin D therapy is associated with a reduction in blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy and improves cardiovascular outcomes. In addition, a reduction in angiotensin II through RAAS blockade may have anti-proteinuric and anti-fibrotic effects. Vitamin D has also been shown to modulate the immune system, regulate inflammatory responses, improve insulin sensitivity and reduce high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Taken together, these pleiotropic effects of vitamin D may slow down the progression of CKD. In this review, we discuss the experimental and early clinical findings that suggest a renoprotective effect of vitamin D, thereby providing an additional rationale beyond mineral metabolism for the close monitoring of, and supplemention with vitamin D from the earliest stages of CKD.

First time homeowner. It's pretty amazing how all those - "We can fix that" problems you noticed during walkthroughs remain undone after three years.
I spent 13 summers as a kid working in my grandpas's woodshop, following around my master electrician/engineer/all-world-handyman dad, or doing random construction crew work. I've dabbled at everything except plumbing, and I'd say I'm an expert at holding. Holding the flashlight, holding the dumb end of the tape measure, and holding heavy things above my head while someone digs in a toolbox.

Hi I'm having a production database and its replicated report database. How to shrink the transaction log files in the production database as the log file size is increasing. I had tried DBCC SHRINKFILE and SHRINKDATABASE commands but it does not work for me. I can't detach and shrink and attach back as the db in replication. Please help me in this issue.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
First check what is causing your database to not shrink by running:
If you are blocked by a transaction, find which one with:
Kill the transaction and shrink your db.
If the cause of the blocking is 'REPLICATION' and you are sure that your replicas are in sync, you might need to reset the status of replicated transactions. To see the status of what the database still think needs to be replicated use:
You can reset this by first turning the Reader agent off (I usually just turn the whole SQL Server Agent off), and then run that query on the database for which you want to fix the replication issue:
Close the connection where you executed that query and restart SQL Server Agent (or just the Reader Agent). You should be all set to shrink your db now.
The database won't let you remove transaction data that isn't backed up. First you have to back up the transaction log, then you can shrink it.
Do you have a regular backup schedule in place?
If not, I suggest you read this excellent article: 8 Steps to better Transaction Log throughput
Shrink the logfile with dbcc shrinkfile
Then truncate the log file using
Then shrink the logfile again
I used Red-Gate's SQL Backup tool to take care of the backing up. Then I just use the management console to issue a shrink command on the log file (telling it to rearrange the pages before releasing unused space).
Works like a charm.

Photos and stories of doctors working in conflict and under other forms of duress are compelling for many reasons. Their bravery and commitment to their patients is admirable, and attacks against those caring for others are unjustifiable in any conflict.

WeeOscar4Life Campaign helps raise in excess of £40,000 as it Steps up fundraising to Next Level
WeeOscar4Life Campaign Confirms Commitment to Directly Supporting Wee Oscar Knox and his Family Through Treatment
Wee Oscar and his family flew to Philadelphia on the 6th October to start Wee Oscar's potentially lifesaving Immunotherapy treatment, unfortunately due to health complications Wee Oscar was rushed into Intensive Care and it appears that these complications have shattered the prospect of receiving this immunotherapy treatment in Philadelphia. The family have said that as soon as Oscar is strong enough they will fly back to the UK. However the fight is not over; other options are being explored and the fight will go on to give Wee Oscar the best chance of beating his neuroblastoma.
The events from the last few days have strengthened the WeeOscar4Life Campaign's resolve to ensure maximum support for Wee Oscar and his family throughout Oscar's treatment. Set-backs such as this mean that it's now more important than ever to raise additional funds. The team are proud to have already raised a staggering £40,000 for the Oscar Knox Appeal and are even more determined than ever to now directly support Wee Oscar and his family during his continued treatment.
"Everybody has been really amazing in the support they have shown Wee Oscar" says Lisa Hague, patron of the WeeOscar4Life campaign, and partner of Celtic and Scotland player Kris Commons. "This is the next stage in our fundraising which will directly support Wee Oscar and his family throughout the treatment and we implore people to keep giving to this incredibly worthwhile appeal."
Local footballing hero, former Celtic Club Captain, Tom Boyd, has also confirmed his commitment to the cause. "It will be my pleasure to support the WeeOscar4Life campaign by attending the race night next month. The backing shown by the Celtic Family already has been nothing short of extraordinary, and has inspired many of us to get involved and help this family through such an abysmal time."
Kris Commons added "Last month, an incredible £32K was raised in just two hours through bucket collections before the Celtic game against Dundee. Everyone is really getting behind this appeal and we want to make sure that Wee Oscar stands the best chance of beating his neuroblastoma."
Lisa concludes "WeeOscar4Life always has and continues to support the Oscar Knox Appeal, and we urge for donations to continue. This recent turn of events just reaffirms to us that our decision to support the family directly was 100% correct! This is not the end – it's just the beginning."
For more information, or to book tickets for the race night please email WeeOscar4Life@

For example:
I want to put descriptions of a cast and crew on a page.... I want all of their names at the top of the page, with descriptions of each person further down the page. When you click on a persons name, it bring you down the page and stops at their name. How do you set these marks on the page...?
I know i have seen it done with a number (#) symbol in the link, but I do not know how to do it.

Wack ass track list. The features look terrible and if Eminem or Dre is producing this then I am not even going to bother. Rap God was dope because of the flow, but the beat was not good, and the other 2 tracks I have heard were pretty bad.
LOL at ppl saying an album is wack by viewing the track list…
I didn't say the album was wack, just judging from who the guest features are, it looks wack. Considering the 3 songs he released all have less than stellar production and only one song has Em going ham, I think it is pretty safe to say that the shit will be wack.
@ the man the myth..Couldn't agree with ya more buddy, lyrics on rap god flippin dope as all hell..Almost makes up for the beat. But whn's Slim gonna do jjust some strait up Boom Bap, Raw Premier style ish? Either way I'll be coppin gthis album first day at the record store

Do you know, how I can realize that.

Ambivalence: Holding simultaneous and conflicting attitudes and emotions about a certain issue.
The refugee/immigrant/illegal alien issue is NOT an all-or-nothing-support-or-reject-issue. If you're an intelligent and reasonable person, you probably have some mixed feelings about this. Just like other Americans, swaying back and forth in this cognitive tug-of-war, I've been vacillating between sympathy and national self-interest for several days.
Dick Morris, political adviser to Bill Clinton said Monday night on the Sean Hannity Show, "Bill Clinton does not was Barack Obama to win."

Out On A Limb
By Luna Loupe
Copyright 2012 Luna Loupe
Smashwords Edition
It was a beautiful day: the sun was shining, the birds were singing, the sky was a brilliant blue dotted with cottony puffs of cloud. Adam tried to appreciate it as he streaked across the stranger's yard, two enormous, slavering dogs hot on his heels.
This wouldn't have been a problem if his prankster friend Gloria hadn't thought it would be hilarious to steal the focus from his collar - the small amber-colored stone that let Adam shift between a handsome young man and a long-limbed, long-haired cream-and-marmalade tabby cat. He had been unpleasantly surprised when he had discovered it was missing, but he'd thought it would be fine. After all, it only meant taking a longer route home, through yards and alleys rather than by car.
The exercise couldn't hurt me, of course, Adam thought bitterly, running as fast as his legs could carry him. Stupid! He should've known better. He'd never made the trip home from the coffee shop where his circle of friends met while he was shifted. He didn't know the terrain, and now he was paying for it - how big was this person's yard, anyway, and didn't their absurdly large dogs ever get tired?
Adam saw his salvation ahead: a tall, thick-trunked tree. As he ran full-tilt at the tree, he tensed his body and leapt, scrambling up to safety in the higher branches. He sat down and began to wash himself self-consciously.
At least they can't get me up here- his train of thought derailed with a horrifying crash as one of the dogs began to scramble up the tree. I'm the one that's supposed to do that! He thought, leaping to the higher, thinner branches, climbing up until he was certain he was out of reach.

See it used here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fed-batch. In the table giving the different strategies to control growth in a fed-batch culture, one finds, for example: "on-line measurement of glucose". What does it mean? Is there an off-line meassurement? What does it mean?
On-line means that's it's generally continuous, or constantly taking the measure, through a tube connecting the batch.
Offline is used for things that are taken out of the reactor, or removed from the process.
Thus it's "on" or "off" the system depending on whether it's contained within the normal piping/fludics of the system: "On" is in the system, "Off" is out of the system.
