An important part of maximizing your travel is minimizing your costs. Today, TPG Senior Points & Miles Correspondent Jason Steele explains how you can trim your car rental budget by avoiding excess toll charges.
Toll roads are becoming increasingly common in many major cities. Sometimes these tolls are imposed to fund new construction, while other times drivers are offered the choice of using "express" toll lanes that may have less traffic. When this trend was combined with the move toward cashless tolling systems, rental car companies smelled a new profit stream that reeked of a scam to their customers. In this post, I'll explain how certain rental agencies handle these charges, and what you can do to avoid paying more than your share.
How this scam works
To visit my grandmother in Coral Springs, Florida (about a half hour north of Fort Lauderdale), I have always taken the Sawgrass Expressway and forked over two quarters each way for the privilege. But in January I was forced to drive my rental car through the automated toll plaza, as the cash toll booth was being demolished before my eyes.
As a result, I was stuck paying both the toll itself and Alamo's "Convenience Charge" of $3.95 per day, which is quadruple what my round-trip cost would have been if I had been able to pay cash. Adding insult to injury, my account was charged for the full toll price rather than the discounted price paid by all other vehicles with transponders. Furthermore, from the moment I triggered the first toll, I would be charged the $3.95 daily fee per day (or fraction of a day, with a maximum of $19.75) regardless of whether I passed through another toll during my rental.
You can rest assured that the $3.95 fee does not go to an army of skilled bureaucrats sifting through a mountain of toll invoices that arrive in the mail — it's all handled electronically, and nearly all of these charges are retained as profit.
That's not even the worst of it. In Florida, Dollar and Thrifty charge a $15.00 administrative fee per toll unless customers opt in to the $8.99 per day "all inclusive" plan (so I can come out ahead if I visit grandma 10 times each day!). And most egregiously, Fox Rent A Car is facing a class action lawsuit for adding an undisclosed $50 service charge to each toll.
Other aspects of the scam
The key elements of any scam include making it as hard as possible for customers to be aware of any potential charges. Here, the rental car companies employ a well worn playbook that looks like this:
First, they provide little (if any) information on the company web site, so customers are blindsided once they arrive at their destination. For example, consider Fox Rent A Car. If this company is trying to be more transparent about its tolling practices in light of the class action lawsuit, I can't find any evidence of it online. The only reference to tolls on the Fox website is in the FAQ under What if I receive a Parking Ticket or use a Toll Road? (as if they're the same thing). The answer warns of an unspecified "service charge," and cautions driver to "Only access Toll Roads that allow for payment when entering." To top that off, Advantage Rent A Car's website makes no reference whatsoever to tolling charges.
Next, companies make sure that any required disclosures at the rental counter are as vague as possible. If you're lucky, you'll see a small placard pointing out that some roads may have a toll that cannot be paid with cash, and that customers will be automatically billed for the toll, along with any "applicable service fees," or some such understatement.
Finally, companies pull an old classic by burying any legally required disclosures deep, deep within the fine print of a contract that no one ever reads.
How different rental car companies handle tolls
Advantage and Hertz use the PlatePass company, which charges a $4.95 daily fee plus tolls at the higher cash or toll-by-plate rate, with a $24.75 maximum fee per month. There is no opting in or out of this system; it's billed automatically to all drivers when using an eligible cashless toll road.
Avis/Budget automatically charge a $3.95 daily fee, ($16.75 maximum per month) plus tolls at the higher cash or toll-by-plate rate.
Dollar/Thrifty are supposed to give customers the option of an all inclusive toll package or a per toll charge of $15.00 (both of which seem to vary based on rental location). Yet on my most recent visit to Florida, no one volunteered this information or offered me any choice. Thankfully, I made sure to opt in to the daily flat rate, which still billed me several multiples of the actual toll charges, but far less than if I had to pay an additional $15 per toll.
Fox seems to be inviting future lawsuits by not disclosing anything about tolls (at least on its website). As best I can tell, Fox considers driving on a toll road some sort of violation, and hands things over to a company called Violation Management Services (VMS). If you have any doubt about what's going on on here, consider that VMS advertises to potential new clients that receive toll charges (the rental car companies, not you) that they can turn the "cost center into a self-sustaining component" of the business.
National, Alamo, and Enterprise automatically charge a $3.95 fee per day ($19.75 maximum per rental period) plus tolls.
Silvercar is once again the exception that proves the rule. It is the only rental car company that I'm aware of that simply passes along the toll costs with no markups! (Check out this recent review of Silvercar for more info.)
Tips for avoiding this scam
1. Education. You may want to spend a few minutes learning about toll roads at your destination as part of your travel planning. Before leaving home, sit down with Google Maps or your favorite mapping site, plot your course, and see whether it necessarily involves cashless toll roads.
2. Avoid toll roads. Google Maps (and presumably other mapping sites) allow you the option to avoid toll roads. You might find a free option that's just a few minutes longer than a tolled option. For example, I live in Denver, where we have an outer beltway that charges a toll by scanning your license plate and mailing you a bill. Nevertheless, I often drive for years without using it, as it rarely saves me much time.
3. Choose the right rental car company. At the top of the list is Silvercar, which imposes no "convenience charges" on its customers. Next, I find Avis and Budget to be the least obnoxious about extra charges, as they add $3.95 per day with a maximum of $16.75 a month. All else being equal, this is substantially less than the competition. At the bottom of the list are companies like Fox that don't even disclose policies, and treat toll charges like some sort of a legal violation with stiff penalties.
4. Check out the toll road's website. A great resource for finding out what fees to expect with various rental car companies is the toll road's website. To the credit of the agencies that operate these toll roads, many are at least trying to be more transparent, presumably after having to deflect intense criticism from travelers who were taken by rental car agencies. For example, Florida's SunPass program clearly discloses far more in one simple web page than all of the major rental car company websites combined.
5. Pay for it yourself. Before cashless tolls took over, smart travelers would simply bring change and avoid rental car charges the way hotel guests use their mobile phones to avoid inflated telephone bills. But it may surprise you to learn that you can pay for a toll directly, if you take a few steps in advance.
For example, in Florida, you can buy your own SunPass portable transponders at supermarkets and drug stores for about $5, plus a minimum cash load of $10, for a total cost of $15. At that price, most travelers (except those renting from Silvercar), will come out ahead after just two days! New York and other states that are part of the EZ Pass network also sell transponders at retail locations. This solution makes great sense when you plan on visiting the same location more than once.
In other states, you can simply register your rental car with the local tolling authority. For instance, in the Denver metro area, the ExpressToll system (which operates the E-470 beltway and other express lanes) allows you to register your plate and set up direct billing before going through the tolls. The easiest way to do this is to create an account ahead of time, and then simply add the rental car to the account at the time of rental.
While I love the concept of cashless tolls, I hate companies that seek to underhandedly extract profit at the expense of travelers even more than I hate toll booths. From now on, I'll just have to plan ahead to either avoid toll roads or choose the least expensive rental car option. On my last trip to Florida, I ended up paying an extra $20 in fees to use toll roads; next time I plan to pick up my own SunPass transponder and opt out of the inflated charges.

Chamber holding Business to Business event
A Business to Business networking function will be held Wednesday by the St. Mary Chamber of Commerce.
Business to Business is open to 25 to 30 chamber members from 8 to 9 a.m. at Hampton Inn & Suites, 6365 La. 182 East in Morgan City.
The function provides a fast and effective networking opportunity because, rather than a quick introduction and exchange of business cards, each person has time to give a sales pitch about what distinguishes their business or service from others in their field, Donna Meyer, chamber president, said.
Prior to the event, the name of one of the businesses is drawn to give a 10-minute presentation about the business' products or services. Other attendees each give a one-minute presentation about their business.
Attendees exchange business cards and brochures so that they can follow up with the new people they meet, Meyer said.
Coffee, juice and pastries will be provided by Hampton Inn & Suites of Morgan City.
To attend, reservations are requested by Monday by calling 985-384-3830. Seating is limited.

TESO is going to launch as Pay to play. Unlike Wildstar on the surface TESO looks to have pay to play quality, it technically does but lacks the content and long term appeal to remain that way.
So expect this one to launch as a pay to play and in the not to distant future convert to buy to play or free to play/freemium model. I don't see a model as bad as SWTOR though when it does convert.
If they are not going B2P or F2P right from the start it will just end up being one in a very long line of failed P2P games going cheap and ruining it with a sudden F2P change over that isnt well thought out.
Go in with a B2P mindset now and have a good Cash Shop set up at release like GW2 did and maybe, just maybe you wont end up with 500,000+ TES fans that got suckered into buying the game thinking its an actual TES game getting royally pissed off at you and end up NOT getting TES6 when its released...and who knows, if you do it right, you may end up making far more than you thought you ever would.
This game has no chance of retaining most of its playerbase if it sells well, its the DaoC model and it isnt popular due to its gameplay limitations. Most MMO players have never tasted it, many have voiced they dont like closed off faction lands and its already well know what TES fans think of it.
They already shot themselves in the foot with the design model, why now take a shotgun and blow your leg off at the knee with p2p?
buy to play, or subscription based
why? bercause from reading all these forums all these years i am convinced 75% of the people that play these games nowdays are bums, cheapos, users and abusers, out for the free ride and trash on everything they can, if it impedes their free ride , because each of those 75% are convinced they know it the best, they have the right answer, and they are the smartest.
it doesnt matter that any game, no matter how good, has to tie into a players inborn imagination to really become great in that players eyes.
most of us that started out playing 20 years ago also played things like dungeons and dragons, warhammer, ect.
nowdays lol most people dont even know what D&D really was or is, outside of the online line game for which it stands.
no loyaty
no retention
no responcibility
and internet anomnymity (sp?)
the four horsemen of the decline of the industry.
Gonada Dahung,over 20 years of mmorpg's and counting....Please Lord, let someone make a game that had all the awesomeness of UO, EQ and EVE...
Articles like these are why I typically end up relying on other sources (websites) for information related to MMOs.
I don't care what model Elder Scrolls chooses - If its a good game that delivers on what's expected then odds are it will succeed. Sure the IP helps draw people in, but in the end as with any MMO the content AND its delivery is what matters.
If the UI is lousy (and unmoddable on top of that - if its a great interface then allowing mods won't matter as much), character responsiveness is horrible, or its seriously lacking in MMO staple features (e.g. it plays like a single player game, doesn't flesh out the guild/clan system, etc.), then odds are it will still fail, regardless of what its intended revenue stream is.
As pointed out by others, SWTOR was a horrible example. Most F2P MMOs I won't even touch to be honest - sure they may have a great point of entry and even be entertaining early on, but as soon as I see you need to buy X to enchant or power up Y and the only reliable way to get them is $ (plus an inherent chance of failure) ... odds are I go another direction.
If you truly can't afford the $15 a month, then I do feel for you, but let's be honest most other forms of entertainment can't come close (Netflix or w/e streaming service at ~$7 does beat it if you're into watching TV). I'd also hope if you don't have $15 of budgetable money per month, you're accessing these forums on someone else's device with someone else's broadband Internet connection.

SW:TOR couldnt sustain a subscription payment model because it was a really bad game. People beat the singleplayer portion of the game then quit rather than stick around for the horribly buggy and unfinished endgame.
A good article would have expounded on that rather than just say "subs failed for TOR which automatically means that subs will fail for ESO".
And to say that subscription based were always failing is just ....laughably bad. I dont even have the words to express how wrong that is. "Always a losing proposition" is definitive statement which means he's saying that WoWs subscription are a failure ....I mean ....really ...how can you
*brain explodes*
Yeah, the article is really just another in an increasingly obvious (and annoying) series where the authors are clearly trying to sell the idea that "P2P = bad; F2P = good".
Difference is, in most cases, they at least try to be somewhat subtle about it, so as to not show their hand.
MikeB, in this case, just cranks the 'rhetoric dial' to 11 and lets it fly. It reads more like a propaganda piece than an opinion column.
Subs have always been a losing proposition? Are you kidding me, MikeB? MMOs survived just fine on subs for over a decade, and some are still around longer than that, still charging subs and maintaining active playerbases. New MMOs are being released with subscriptions, and people are perfectly fine with that.
Many MMOs that go F2P maintain a "membership option" (aka "subscription"; a rose by any other name) for those who'd rather pay a flat monthly fee than deal with the nickel-and-dime, "pay as you go" approach of F2P/Cash Shops. A monthly sub option is still offered because there's still a demand for it.
Calling something a "failing proposition", when there's still a very clear and demonstrable demand for it, is one of the most blatant reality-distortion efforts I've witnessed in a long time. Some serious mental gymnastics at work there.
No P2P/Sub-based MMO has ever failed because of its revenue model. They fail - like any product - because they weren't good enough to maintain an adequate player/customer-base. Just like any service that requires a membership/subscription fee. You don't provide a good enough service, you won't maintain loyal customers - or at least not for very long.
Subscriptions are still popular. They're not going anywhere, nor do they need to. People, like MikeB, who keep perpetuating this myth that P2P/Subs are some horrible, out-dated thing, just need to snap out of it, let it go, and just be satisfied with the F2P options they already have.
Originally posted by Ayulin Subs have always been a losing proposition? Are you kidding me, MikeB? MMOs survived just fine on subs for over a decade
And compared to the revenue of F2P games, they failed.
If a BAD F2P game can make more money that most P2P games, its a fail model which is why it is finally dieing in the west and it only took so long because companies just couldnt let go of the massive greed they had.
Too bad for them they lost so much of the market to South Korean companies I doubt they will ever get it back...even Blizzard is targetting the eastern market more now...pandas...lol.
If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.

Source? I haven't seen an announcement for either and it's quite a heated debate for Wildstar at least.
Also, I didn't know TESO was releasing this year... seems like it was just announced. I thought it'd be '14 or '15. Then again, I haven't followed that closely.
I really do like the Guild wars 2 model and would like to see it become the norm in the MMO industry. (Buy to play with cash shop, cash shop currency buyable with in game gold).
They can sugarcoat the whole F2P is best BS all they want...reality is that the very people that will find a tri realm in depth mmorpg will be will to pay a sub. Those same people will be turned off by the ever abusive CASH SHOP TO WIN BONUS XP PACK blah blah crap that permeates and is a literal cancer to the creative side of the industry.
I can't believe any rational person believes they'll pass up the opportunity to try and sell a million+ $60 boxes. There may be a slim chance they'll go with gw2 style over subscriptions, but I've got to think that is very very slim.
The more likely question is will they still be selling subscriptions two years from now, and that will depend largely on the quality of their product.
And... SWTOR's f2p is bad even by f2p standards. I'm also having a hard time believing anyone would even sugest that any other company would emulate that model... I mean... Gpot, Nexon, and PWE have to look at SWTOR's f2p model and snicker.
if its just an 'ok' game then i dont mind what payment method they will implement. but if its a great game that it will be my main mmo (i hope), then imo p2p is the only way. i hate cash shops, i really hate them.
in most mmo's i have played, the only stable community, either to my guild or to the entire server, is when there is a sub in the game.
I play MMOs for the Forum PVP
If you make a bad game and you are sub based, you will fail.
If you make a bad game and you are F2P, people will still play it because it is free and you can still make money on vanity crap. Not to say there aren't any good F2P games, because there are plenty. It's simply F2P let's the developer be lazy if they want to, and still make money.
Personally I prefer sub games, because they are provide value and quality or go home. I play some F2P games too, but what they offer is limited, I grow tired of all the store advertisements in game, and the fact that 90% of new content are store items. For me F2P is something to kill some time, sub games are for games I want to really sink my teeth into.
Problem with subs in this day and age. Is there are so many MMOs out there that if you play more than one a sub makes you feel like you're wasting that sub time by not playing every single day. Like WoW for instance, sometimes I just like to pop back in and check out a new patch or play whatever for a couple days. I have to pay $15 for a whole month of game time every time I do that.
F2P or B2P makes it so much easier to play multiple games and not worry about if I've wasted half a months sub because I was playing something else or busy at work/out of town etc.
Best model (though I doubt they'd ever do it) would be some type of game time purchase that only ran down as you used it. Pay for X amount of hours like a prepaid cell phone and every time you log in you star to use up your time. That would be really nice, but P2P kinda bank on people paying for more than they use so they wouldn't want to do it.
Ah the good old days when everything you had in-game came through honest work.
I don't have respect for item shop games. I don't care if it makes you the most profit, in my opinion it is unethical business practice. If your monetisation methods start affecting the design of your game, then I aint playing it. You make your game insanely grindy, and basically bait people to play with the aid of the item shop. A game is a game, why should one person have any kind of edge (and yes, reducing the time it takes to reach max level is an edge) on someone else just because he has more money irl. Any xp potions and such are pay to win. You don't have to put in the same effort as everyone who did it normally, thus devaluing their honest work.
Age of wushu for example. There is a gathering book in the item shop that doubles the amount of resources you get for 30 days. Otherwise a solid game, but any kind of motivation I had to be a crafter went straight down the toilet when I found out about their monetization schemes. You can stick your book up your ***. I'm not choosing between either paying, or gimping my character. Extortion is the word for it. They advertise free, but then you have extreme disadvantages, and end up paying more than a sub model, just to play the freaking game.
My sincere middle finger to all item shop games. Hope you burn.

Risk Management Lessons from Madoff Fraud

In December 2008, as the financial and economic crisis continued on its devastating course, a new scandal bursts. After the 1998's failure of Long-Term Capital Management, Madoff's fraud brings once again the discredit on the hedge funds industry. This one is however of a different kind. Indeed, Madoff's firm is not a standard hedge fund but a developed Ponzi scheme. By explaining Madoff's system and exploring the reasons to its collapse, this paper draws risk management lessons from this fraud, especially for operational risk management. Risk management rules as applied nowadays partially failed to prevent Madoff's scandal. This paper presents the issues for risk capital requirements raised by Madoff collapse. Implications for due diligence processes, including the use of quantitative replication to assess hedge fund performance's credibility, are also considered. Finally, consideration is given to the regulatory and standardizing approaches of the hedge fund industry as an answer to frauds of Madoff's kind.

Safeway Inc. (NYSE:SWY), with its vast range of grocery channels, stands as one of the leading retailers in the U.S. The company's flat top-line growth trend for the past few quarters is a result of its less competitive pricing policy, in comparison to competitive pricing policies offered by its peers. Moreover, increasing input costs have been shrinking the company's gross margins. However, despite its pressurized earnings base and shrunk margins, the stock has a lot to offer. SWY's merger with Albertson and significant remodeling of channels will prove to be major growth drivers for the company in the long run.
Financial Performance
Over the years, growing competition among key retail chain sector players has led to an intense price war in the retail market. Whoever wins the price war, wins the game. SWY has been adversely affected by its inability to cater to the intense price competition among key players in the sector. The company's sales base has suffered due to competition; the company reported flat sales for the recent quarter. SWY's revenue increase of only 1% year-on-year in the recent quarter is lagging behind its close peers', Supervalu (NYSE:SVU) and Kroger (NYSE:KR), revenue increases of 1.4% and 2.4% year-on-year, respectively. Both SVU and KR are driving more consumer traffic by offering competitive prices to customers. SWY needs to reduce its prices to get more customers and drive up its revenues.
Moreover, the company's recent quarter's gross profit was down 64 basis points year-on-year, mainly caused by the escalated input costs for the company and the inability to fully pass on this inflation impact to consumers. Also, the rise in cost also weighed heavily on the company's bottom line results and the company's EPS once again missed analyst estimates by $0.12. However, the company is planning to pass on these higher input costs to consumers by further raising their product prices. The initiative to increase prices and pass on inflation to consumers will definitely increase margins and improve bottom line results for SWY. However, in the given competitive pricing environment, I fear the initiative to increase prices could lower store traffic and could continue to pressurize top line numbers.
Carving Out the Road to Success
Grocery retailers in the U.S. are continuously fighting to lead the market with a greater market presence. To increase their access to customers, grocers are continuously thriving to open new stores at new locations. At present, Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) leads the market with its 25% share and KR stands second with its 8% share. SWY is currently squeezed between these high-end grocers and I believe the company needs to put in a lot of efforts to effectively compete with its peers.
I believe that the company's decision to merge with Albertson will definitely help in addressing competition and expanding its presence. The company's merger worth $9.2billion is going to increase its market presence. The combination of two companies will create a company with 2,400 stores, along with 20 manufacturing plants and 27 distribution facilities; however, the combined new company with 2,400 stores will still be smaller in size than KR, which has 2,640 stores. The company not only expects this merger to result in the expansion of its market presence, but also plans on generating significant cost saving synergies. Also, I believe the combined new company will be able to generate stronger cash flows and grow its top line results.
Other than increasing the number of stores through the merger, SWY has carved out a plan to remodel its existing stores to get more customer traffic by making the store more attractive and easy to navigate. The company's Chief Executive Officer, Robert L. Edwards, recently said in the 1Q earnings release: "We will continue to drive sales momentum through our center of store remodels, as well as merchandising premium, Hispanic and Asian products to meet local demographic needs." I believe SWY's store remodeling program is going to help the company better its long pressurized top-line results in the near future.
SWY's current picture may look disturbing. But perhaps the company has successfully carved out its strategy for getting a promising stake among key retail grocers in the U.S. The company is planning well to grow its top-line results, with its plan of increasing its efficiency and improving its market share by increasing the number of stores through a merger. Moreover, I believe SWY will get more customer traffic directed in the near future, with its strenuous remodeling efforts for existing stores.

Fairness and squareness: fair decision making rules in the eu council?
In this paper we analyze the following problem: assuming that the distribution of voting weights in a simple voting committee is fair (whatever this means), how should we set up a voting rule to guarantee that the distribution of influence (relative voting power) is as close as possible to relative voting weights.

An Oshkosh Correctional Institution inmate is not entitled to a book entitled "Modern Sex Magick: Secrets of Erotic Spirituality," a book deemed pornographic by prison officials.
David C. Myers, 51, said in a lawsuit that he is a practicing Wiccan, a pagan religion whose practitioners are commonly known as witches. He ordered the book which he described as a "legitimate spiritual publication" related to his beliefs. Prison officials confiscated the book upon delivery.
He appealed to the Winnebago County Circuit Court took a narrow view of the case and found that Myers should have named the secretary of the Department of Corrections, not the prison warden, as the defendant in the case. Judge Scott Woldt also said the lawsuit was frivilous and filed as harassment.
Myers also argued that he should have been allowed to see the book to prepare his lawsuit.
Judge Harry G. Synder, author of an appellate decision released Wednesday dismissed all of Myers' arguments.
"Myers cannot circument security policies regarding injurious materials by demanding discovery of a prohibited book," he said.

Subject: Larry LaPrise dead at 93
With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed last week.
Larry LaPrise, the man that wrote "The Hokey Pokey" died peacefully at the age of 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in. And then the trouble started.

from Jacksonville, NC
even though we were careful with it, it still ended up with small holes and i really don't know how, plus it stained very easily.
Does the job
By PurpleGram
from O'Fallon, MO
I like the table cloth. I didn't realize it was shear though. I have a table protector that is like cardboard and you can see it through the cover so I have to put another cover under it. It looks elegant otherwise, makes a wonderful new look in the room.

Wasn't what I ordered
By Cece
from Lineville AL
About Me Quality Oriented
The labels were supposed to be like this: HANDCRAFTED by Rodney MorrisonThis was the way I ordered over the phone. When verification was emailed I changed it then. When order came in: HANDCRAFTED byRodney Morrison
Directions weren't followed
I ordered these labels over the phone. I gave detailed instructions on how I wanted these printed. An email was sent to see if changes needed to be made. I typed out how I wanted the labels done. When order was received the spacing was wrong just like what was shown in email. I wanted the labels to be like this: HANDCRAFTED by Rodney MorrisonMy husband wanted this labels to put on some furniture he had made for me. Instead I got HANDCRAFTED by Rodney MorrisonSo I was disappointed in the labels.
Great New Home Gift
By GloryGirl
from Holliston, MA
When my daughter was moving to a new apartment, with thow new roommates, I ordered three sets of these, one for each! It was a thoughtful "New Home" gift, they all appreciated them, and as they send out cards, and other mail, makes for an easy way to let friends and family know their new address! The clear labels look nice on any envelope color!

NICE But Print A little Too Small

I'm disappointed with this product.
By Forest Dweller
from Blairsville, GA
I liked the idea of it being clear and the adhesive is very good,however it's not what I thought I was ordering. Firstly the font is much too small and I always choose the italic font for any labels I've bought in the past. This was the first time I've purchased labels from Miles-Kimball.
love these labels

A recent item in Los Angeles' scurrilous Hollywood insider website Defamer started this way: "There really is no point in resisting Adam Sandler". The comment prefaced that weekend's box-office results detailing Adam Sandler's spot at No 1 with $40m for Click. Nobody in town was surprised. Four of his last five films opened in excess of $40m on their first weekend and did better than $120m.
He reportedly earns at least $20m every time he stars in one of his signature comedies, and has the sort of uncommonly profitable "back end" deals [earning a percentage of a film's gross] reserved for the likes of Jack Nicholson. Sandler, for once, is not joking on why being Adam Sandler currently rocks: "I'm filthy rich!"
Before Sandler's latest hit opened, we met at a Beverly Hills hotel, his beloved if rather unattractive English bulldog Matzoball in tow. In the film he plays stressed architect Michael Newman whose inflexible boss (David Hasselhoff) makes it virtually impossible for him to achieve any approximation of a personal life with his wife (Kate Beckinsale), two kids (and inevitably a dog). When he meets the very peculiar Morty (a deliciously weird Christopher Walken), Sandler discovers the elixir he thinks he needs to salvage his ongoing time-management crisis - a universal remote control that will allow him to fast-forward through duller moments of life.
Did the film imbue him with any revelatory bolts from the blue?
"I did learn a lesson from this film," he says. "My wife throws it in my face whenever I'm at work. She says, 'What about your movie? Did you learn your lesson?' I do love the premise. My friend Steve and his buddy came up with the idea and wrote it. I definitely connected to the fact that life gets out of control and you end up doing things and wishing you were doing other things instead. Sometimes you can't prioritise family and you feel guilty."
Click begins as vintage Sandler comedy but metamorphoses into something much less funny: the death of Newman's father whose later years he fast-forwarded through. Sandler was close to his own father, Stan, who died in 2003, not long after his son's wedding. He credits both his father and grandfather with instilling in him an unconventional sense of self-worth which prevails to this day.
"I've been called a moron since I was about four. My father called me a moron. My grandfather said I was a moron. And a lot of times when I'm driving, I hear I'm a moron. I like being a moron."
The birth announcement for his now four-month-old daughter Sadie, read, in typical Sandler prose: "Sandler had a kid. Kid is healthy. Wife is healthy. He's still a moron and that's all that counts." And he takes delight in recounting what his father's reaction might have been to his having prayers said for Meatball, another of his bulldogs, after his demise. "He'd have said, 'It's just a dog, you moron'."
Of his father's death, he says: "Some things get bombed on you in life, but I still enjoy it. I'm happy to be here and I don't want to fast-forward anything. You know, some parts are boring, some parts are tired but it goes away and you get back to having good times again." He says he would rewind to "when that first pubic hair came. The second one was good too".
Sandler is by all accounts one of Hollywood's good guys, up there with Hugh Jackman and George Clooney. He surrounds himself with a loyal, supportive, funny troupe of guys - actors, writers, directors, producers - and hires or works with them whenever he is able. Sandler's Happy Madison production company is one of the West Coast's most prolific, producing both his own films and projects for the likes of Rob Schneider, David Spade and Chris Rock. "Having friends around you is great," he says. "That's what makes me happy."
Two weeks ago Sandler turned 40. Why wouldn't he be thrilled at how life has turned out in the 23 years since he crashed a Boston comedy club stage and discovered he had a natural talent for stand-up comedy? A small role on The Cosby Show was the prelude to a run on Saturday Night Live, America's still-revered if patchy TV sketch show staple, which earned him a movie career.
And then there is his sideline - drama. He recently filmed Empty City playing a man destroyed by the loss of his entire family on September 11, who eventually finds some measure of peace with the help of a friend, played by Don Cheadle. He was also a revelation opposite Emily Watson in 2002's critically acclaimed art house hit Punch-Drunk Love directed by the not remotely comedic Paul Thomas Anderson. "Paul and I learnt a lot from Adam," said Watson at the time. "He just opens the door and sees what falls through."
Sandler's last film, a remake of The Longest Yard, made substantially more money in the US than Mission: Impossible III, and its American TV rights recently sold for an unprecedented $27m.
For young men in America, Sandler is in every sense a hero, at a time when Americans across the board really need a laugh. They love the fact that despite not having typical movie-star looks, his winning charm often gets the girl. But mostly, they love his puerile lavatory humour. "My favourite scene in the whole of Click is the one with Hasselhoff [where Sandler farts in his face]. Putting my buttocks near his face was fun. It was good for me and him, and the crew. Everyone enjoyed that moment. It took about nine takes to get right."
He notes that another co-star, Walken, "terrorised" the children on Click's set. Sandler on the other hand is a sort of Pied Piper character who gets on famously well with every child in his films, while joking that he is yet to meet his four-month-old daughter Sadie. "I hear she has a really good shaved head and does something in her underwear. Right now it's all about Click and she knows that."
It is also apparently about the women at home being in charge. "I have been with my [ex-model] wife for eight years now. I had control of that remote for seven years and then I gave it over this year because she was complaining about the shows we were watching. It's been the worst year of my life. I have watched shit I've never wanted to see. Of course every show we watch is about how bad men are. I tend to walk out to the kitchen and read a lot now while the TV is on."
He earned "research" privileges to watch some of Beckinsale's father Richard's work before filming Click. "Beckinsale's dad was a great comedian and a good-looking man. And Kate is a good-looking woman and also funny. Her husband actually made a DVD for me and I loved Porridge."
As for more contemporary British comedians, Sandler, like Ben Stiller, appears to idolise Sacha Baron Cohen. "We like him," he says, as if speaking for the comedy frat pack. "By the way, he is getting good at basketball here in America. I played with him and he fouls more than anybody I have ever seen. Then he says, 'I didn't know you're not allowed to do that'. I met him a bunch of times though, hung out with him and I think he's a great guy.
"He is one of the funniest guys I've ever met, too. He's different. He has got more balls than anybody I've ever seen. I had those balls when I was 12. And then I just said, 'I don't want to get beaten up any more'. He just keeps going. Someday I hope we'll do something together. And, of course, we all love The Office."
Why exactly is Sandler so liked by Hollywood and an audience, which evidently without hesitation buys tickets to every single film he makes? Perhaps because he appears to care little about the gold, but rather about life (witness the space afforded his dad's letters and his dogs' photos on his official website). His biggest kick in Click, for example, was having Henry Winkler play his father.
"He's a great man. Honestly, when my father was sick, Henry Winkler was a great guy. He called him all the time when he was fighting cancer and left so many messages for my Pap. He's just a good person. At my wedding to Jackie, he gave a toast and it was one of the most memorable moments. He was so sweet to everybody. After that, I was like, 'Man, I have to make sure I have a movie where Henry plays my dad because I feel so close to him'. And then this came along. What an honour for me."
'Click' opens on 29 September

Loic, that's an interesting comparison. On this one the main reasons for
rejecting the Vavoom ID were that Vavoom doesn't lighten much if any toward
the edges on the falls, which is very noticeable on this one, and Vavoom has a
higher contrast in colors. I have two of these plants, and both, in different
locations and sun conditions, were decidedly light in color, as shown in the
original photo. Vavoom has those very saturated falls that really stand out.
So I suspect this one, like the other I posted, was labeled by a name that it
roughly resembles rather than what it is. Nice shot of Vavoom, by the way.
Here''s a close-up showing how saturated and solid the color is out to the
edges on the falls:
Incidentally, I got both of these mislabeled irises from someone who sells
quite a variety of irises and has a fine website. (And I'm happy to have
them, whatever they are--I didn't pay too much.)
----- -----
I've fluffed it up a bit with more contrast and a bit more saturation, and it
looks like the pictures of Vavoom i've found on internet, with even the
lighter stripes close to the beards.

Subject: [iris-photos] NOID SDB yellow very early
Any ideas what this could be? It was the first iris to bloom last year,
short even for an SDB, but most of my first-year plants bloomed short, so
don't think that counts. It was labeled Vavoom, but doesn't match the
description. I don't expect a definite ID, but some suggestions might
me to call it "that one that looks like [insert likely suspect]."
Francesca, thanks for letting me know my message came through. It didn't
it to me, oddly enough (maybe the system doesn't send to the sender
but your reply came.
Note on color: I'll be appending a version of this to every shot. The
was processed on my Mac, which means that while it looks right on my
it's likely to look a little darker, with more saturated color, possibly
shifted a bit more red, on the typical PC monitor. This isn't a defect in
either type of monitor, just a typical difference. For this photo the
difference is minor, but in some it's very noticeable, enough to describe
colors differently.

Maybe Jonathan can look at this...
I'm not seeing this assertion with the youtube page. I suspect it was triggered by some particular (unusual) text string, perhaps in an ad or some transient listing of videos or comments. It'd be good to have a cut-down test case that reproduces it....
Ah - looks like I can reliably trigger this by loading the Unicode sample page at http://alanwood.net/unicode/unicode_samples.html. Should be able to narrow it down from there.
(That page triggers several other assertions too....)
Created attachment 420323 [details]
testcase, generates 4 assertions with current trunk build
The assertion can be triggered by the presence of particular Unicode characters. This testcase has 4 characters (U+FEFF, FFF9, FFFA, FFFB) that each trigger it.
I'm guessing the occurrence on youtube was probably temporary, caused by a character present in some dynamic content at that time.
Created attachment 420347 [details] [diff] [review]
patch v1: update lastRunIndex variable when deleting a run
The problem arises when SanitizeGlyphRuns deletes the last glyph run from the array, but fails to update the "last" variable; then on the next iteration it would try to look at the no-longer-valid "last" element of the array. Simple fix is to decrement "last" when deleting an array element.
This patch does that, and the assertions no longer occur. I've also renamed "last" to "lastRunIndex" just because I think it's clearer.
Incidentally, the problem only occurred with the Core Text backend, not ATSUI, because they generate different glyph arrays in the case of invisible characters such as those in the testcase here: Core Text deletes them (resulting in empty glyph runs, which SanitizeGlyphRuns is designed to eliminate), whereas ATSUI leaves a "deleted" placeholder glyph in the glyph array.
I think we should take this on 1.9.2 as well, as soon as it's landed on trunk. The chance of the bug actually being exploitable seems pretty slim, IMO, but I see no reason NOT to fix it; it's clear what the error is, and the patch is simple and safe.
Hmm, does my patch in bug 533393 fix this? I forgot to land it :-(
Oh, it's the same patch actually. Sorry about wasting your time.
Let's take your patch.
*** Bug 533393 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
If this isn't a hard release blocker, which I don't think it is as per comment 6, then I don't think it would cause a RC respin on its own. If we have to do a new RC we'll take it as a ridealong, otherwise, 3.6.1.

Right - sorry, I didn't mean to suggest this needs to affect RC now, it's clearly not critical. Just that we should take it on the branch when we have the opportunity. Blocking was the wrong flag to request; how about approval188.8.131.52 on the patch?
Does this affect the 1.9.1 branch? It doesn't have the regression keyword so it might, and we don't want to land in a 3.6.x security update and not the corresponding 3.5.x security update if it affects both.

No, it doesn't affect 1.9.1 because this bug is in code that was added specifically as part of the CoreText support, and we don't have CoreText support in 1.9.1 / 3.5.x.
