The Greatest Films of 1932
Top Grossing doesn't always always mean greatest all though several of them did make the list.
A Bill of Divorcement
Director: George Cukor
Hillary Fairfield (John Barrymore), who had been living in a mental hospital for 15 years, escapes. He returns home to his wife and family on the day his wife Margaret (Billie Burke) is divorcing him so that she can remarry. His strong-willed daughter Sydney (Katharine Hepburn, in her film debut) has always been told that he had been shell-shocked from the Great War, but now discovers from him a family history of hereditary mental illness, and she started to believe that she was next.

Director: Josef von Sternberg
A camp classic and the most outlandish of the Dietrich/von Sternberg pictures. Helen Faraday (Marlene Dietrich), a nighclub-cabaret singer, is a loving mother and wife who prostitutes herself to a nightclub owner and wealthy playboy Nick Townsend (Cary Grant) in order to pay for her scientist husband Edward's (Herbert Marshall) expensive ($1,500) medical bills, so that he can go for cancer treatment in Germany. Her husband is an American chemist dying of radium poisoning. Helen (taking the name Helen Jones) begins a glamorous career as a cabaret singer on the German stage. She was billed as the "Blonde Venus." The film's highlight is her bizarre, gorilla-suited "Hot Voodoo" number, to the beat of an African drum, in which she first takes off her gorilla head and suit to reveal herself. She then sing the throaty song wearing a blonde Afro wig, while surrounded by 'black' dancers. As the Hays Code required, she has to suffer the consequences as a 'fallen woman.' Upon her husband's return from treatment, he discovers her liaison with Townsend and files for divorce and custody of their five year-old son Johnny (Dickie Moore). Forced to surrender Johnny to authorities, she eventually become an impoverished and destitute prostitute. In the end, however her estranged husband realizes that her sacrifice was for his cure, and they are reconciled.

Cabin in The Cotton
Director: Michael Curtiz
A rich, young and wicked Southern woman Madge Norwood (Bette Davis) entrances a poor sharecropper's son Marvin Blake (Richard Barthelemess), who works at her father Lane Norwood's (Berton Churchill) general store as a night clerk. When promoted to bookkeeper, he learns how Norwood is cheating the tenant farmers, caught in the conflict between his loyalty to his employer, his love for Madge, and his roots as a farmer. The film was known for Madge's famous line: "Ah'd like to kiss ya, but ah jest washed ma hair."
A Farewell to Arms
Director: Frank Borzage
A sentimental, romantic, and moving film version of Ernest Hemingway's tragic love story. A wounded American ambulance driver Lt. Frederic Henry (Gary Cooper) falls in love with British volunteer nurse Catherine Barkley (Helen Hayes), while both are serving in the war in WWI Italy. They are both brought together and separated by the circumstances of the war, and the manipulations of jealous womanizer Major Rinaldi (Adolphe Menjou).

Director: Tod Browning
A bizarre horror film, and a cult favorite. This is an amazing masterpiece about a group of grotesquely deformed circus freaks (the film features many real-life circus sideshow freaks, including "pinheads," the "living torso" Prince Radian, Siamese twins Daisy and Violet Hilton, and the half-bodied Johnny Eck, and others). A beautiful but heartless high-wire artist Cleopatra (Olga Baclanova) marries a wealthy circus midget Hans (Harry Earles), but then plots with her strongman lover Hercules (Henry Victor) to poison him to death for his money. In revenge, the group of freaks protects the midget from his bride and gets even with the high-wire artist. The freaks seek retribution against strongman Hercules by crawling and slithering in the mud under the carnival wagons, with knives in their hands, as they pursue him. Off-screen, they transform the tall and sexy Cleopatra into a legless, feathered chicken with a scarred and bruised face, and a squawking mouth as punishment for her greed, cruelty and duplicity toward one of the freaks.

Grand Hotel
Director: Edmund Goulding
World War I was over, and Berlin's beautiful, art-deco Grand Hotel was busy with the intersecting lives and destinies of its glamorous guests in a 24-hour period. The dramatic ensemble cast includes a weary, unloved and lonely ballerina Grusinskaya (Greta Garbo), a financially-destitute nobleman and jewel-thief Baron Felix von Gaigern (John Barrymore) who she fasll in love with, a sexy hotel stenographer Flaemmchen (Joan Crawford) who meet a dying clerk Otto Kringelein (Lionel Barrymore) searching for a last fling, and crude industrialist Gen. Director Preysing (Wallace Beery).
It won the Best Picture Oscar in the year of its release – its only nomination

Horse Feathers
Director: Norman Z. McLeod
One of the Marx Brother's greatest, most zany films, with numerous one-liners. Groucho is Professor Wagstaff, president of Huxley College, who mistakenly hires Chico, the local speakeasy bootlegger and iceman, and his assistant Harpo, a dogcatcher, as professional football players, so Huxley College can beat their rivals at Darwin. In the big game, Huxley wins through madcap maneuvers.
The film, a zany take-off on college education and football, is known for its fast-paced, non-sequitor, inconsistent nature as is typical of all Marx Brothers films. The plot affords many opportunities for the comedic team to show off their anarchic style of humor, with many pun-filled, nonsensical bits of dialogue, insults, idiosyncrasies, and one-liners.
I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang
Director: Mervyn LeRoy
The powerful, realistic drama of an innocent man, a World War I veteran James Allen (Paul Muni) who has been convicted, and sentenced to ten years of hard labor for a crime he didn't commit. He is trapped in a brutal Southern chain gang. Prisoners are treated inhumanely by the guards. After a prison escape through the swamps, he reestablishes himself in Chicago with a normal life, but is discovered and voluntarily returns to the South, with a promise that he will be pardoned. Upon his return to prison, he is again brutalized. The film is known for its chilling climax ("I steal!"), and for its effectiveness in promoting social reform.
The harsh and grim melodramatic film was one of the first of Warner Bros.' films of social conscience, reform and protest during the early 30s. One of the film's taglines described his second escape: "Six sticks of dynamite that blasted his way to freedom…and awoke America's conscience!"
To appease southern film exhibitors and the state of Georgia, there is no mention or hint of the state of Georgia (it was omitted from the title of the picture), but it's clear that the character is imprisoned in a southern state (with large numbers of blacks on the chain gang) and its penal system were being implicated. The film was actually banned in Georgia.
The film earned three Academy Award nominations (with no wins): Best Picture (it lost to Cavalcade), Best Actor (Muni lost his second nomination to Charles Laughton for his performance in The Private Life of Henry VIII), and Best Sound.

Love Me Tonight
Director: Rouben Mamoulian
This is the romantic tale of a Parisian tailor Maurice Courtelin (Maurice Chevalier) who tried to wins the heart of a princess, Princess Jeanette (Jeanette MacDonald). Includes the songs "Lover," "Mimi," and "Isn't It Romantic?"
An adaptation of Rodgers and Hart's Broadway musical, this was a pivotal musical in that it shaped the technical language of movie musicals in the sound era, by smoothly integrating the songs into the film's plot line. It also featured the first zoom shot (into a window) and the first asynchronous sound, and also other dazzling special effects such as slow-motion, fast-motion, and split-screens.
Me and My Gal
Director: Raoul Walsh
In this low-budget, fast-talking, pre-Code streetwise romantic comedy, with crime drama elements, fresh young New York pier beat-cop Danny Dolan (Spencer Tracy) falls in love with sarcastic, strong-minded waterfront cafe waitress Helen Riley (Joan Bennett), while Helen's newly-married sister Kate (Marion Burns) still harbors feelings for an ex-boyfriend – gangster fugitive Duke Castenega (George Walsh, the director's brother), and hid him in her attic. As a pre-Prohibition film, it celebrates drinking. One drunken character, the father of the bride, approached the camera and asked: "Who'd like a drink, huh?"
Night after Night
Director: Archie Mayo
Mae West's first talking film, full of her notable wisecracks and one-liners in a secondary role. Joe Anton (George Raft), a reformed thug, who has many uncouth, low-life acquaintances from his past, opens up a night club, and attempts to woo Park Avenue, upper-class beauty Jerry Healy (Constance Cummings). During a dinner party, blonde Mandie Triplett (Mae West), one of Joe's former girls, bursts in and disrupts the proceedings with her inimitable presence and dialogue.
Director: James Whale
Notable as one of James Whale's bizarre horror films. A theatrically creepy story of a group of stranded travelers who take shelter in the mysterious, haunted dark old house of the Femm family. The assorted collection of guests included Philip Waverton (Raymond Massey), his wife Margaret (Gloria Stuart), their friend Roger Penderell (Melvyn Douglas), Sir William Porterhouse (Charles Laughton) and his companion Gladys DuCane (Lilian Bond). The residents of the house include 102 year-old bedridden Sir Roderick Femm (Elspeth Dudgeon), a son Horace (Ernest Thesiger), daughter Rebecca (Eva Moore), and a psychotic mute butler (Boris Karloff).
Red Dust
Director: Victor Fleming
A steamy classic drama, with hot-blooded chemistry between the two stars. The film was remade as Mogambo (1953), starring Clark Gable (21 years older), Ava Gardner, and Grace Kelly. Dennis Carson (Clark Gable), head of a Indo Chinese rubber plantation, takes in a female house guest – a flirtatious, glib, and earthy platinum blonde Saigon hooker named Vantine (Jean Harlow), running from the authorities. His lusty relationship with the wisecracking Vantine is put to the test when a boat arrives with newlyweds, an engineer Gary Willis (Gene Raymond) and his cultured, upper-class attractive wife Barbara "Babs" (Mary Astor), and Carson turned his attentions toward Barbara. Eventually torn between the two in a love triangle, he returns into the arms of his bawdy girlfriend Vantine, when wounded by a shot-gun blast from a jealous "Babs."
It is the earliest of the Clark Gable/Jean Harlow films. One of the film's slogans proclaimed: "He treated her rough – and she loved it!"

Scarface (aka Scarface, the Shame of the Nation)
Director: Howard Hawks
Released by United Artists, a violent, fast-paced, intense gangster/crime melodrama, the 'first' of the great gangster films, although its release was delayed due to censorship battles. One of the boldest, most potent, raw and violently-brutal gangster-crime films ever made. Based on Al Capone's life, the film chronicled the rise and fall of Roaring 20's tough Chicago gangster and bootlegger Tony Camonte (Paul Muni). Tony was a brutish, primeval character, and the film portrays scandal, violence, and 28 on-camera murders, as he confronts both his rivals led by Johnny Lovo and associates such as Guino Rinaldo (George Raft). The film was also considered controversial because of hints of incest between Tony and his sexy sister Cesca (Ann Dvorak).
The controversial film was in the planning stages in 1930 – to be produced by versatile co-producer/director Howard Hawks and co-producer Howard Hughes. A working script was readied by January 1931, and after about three months of filming, it was completed later in the year. Although the film was scheduled for release in January 1932, its opening was delayed for a few more months due to Hawks' and Hughes' continuing squabbles with industry censors over its sensationalism and glorification of the gangster menace, and issues regarding the film's re-titling. Therefore, this tough, pioneering film could not claim to be at the forefront of the gangster talking film craze in the early 30s. That honor fell to two earlier Warner Bros., director Mervyn LeRoy's Little Caesar and William Wellman's sociological treatise Public Enemy. These films defined the genre and formed a trilogy, of sorts.
To give the violent, tragi-comedy film respectability, to deglamorize the folk-hero nature of the gangster, and to appease the forces of censorship, a number of restrictions or changes were imposed before the film could be released with the MPAA seal of approval
The film was heralded as an example of the kind of protection the Hollywood Production Code of Ethics could provide to the movie-going public when implemented in 1934. Due to squabbles over the film's release and the hue and cry over its depiction of the world of gangsters, the film ultimately didn't do well at the box office. It was banned in several states, versions varied from state to state (due to varying boards of censors) and showings were delayed over a year in Chicago. Foreign sales were also limited, and Nazi Germany permanently prohibited the film's showing. After Hughes withdrew it from circulation, it was rarely seen in the United States for almost fifty years, and wasn't widely available until it was reissued by Universal Studios in 1979.
Once again, a Howard Hawks-directed film was ignored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences – the film received no nominations.

Director: Josef von Sternberg
While on the Shanghai Express train traveling through civil war-torn China, a couple falls into the hands of revolutionaries led by a cruel war lord Henry Chang (Warner Oland). Shanghai Lily (Marlene Dietrich), the mysterious and erotic temptress, meets her ex-lover army surgeon, Captain Donald "Doc" Harvey (Clive Brook), and they rekindled their relationship when they are interrupted by rebels who attack the train. With Shanghai Lily's famous line of dialogue: "It took more than one man to change my name to Shanghai Lily."
One of the best-remembered films of Marlene Dietrich, it was the fourth of seven films the actress made with director Josef von Sternberg, following The Blue Angel (1930), Morocco (1930) and Dishonored (1931), and later followed by Blonde Venus (1932), The Scarlet Empress (1934), and The Devil Is a Woman (1935).
The film was nominated for three Academy Awards (including Best Picture and Best Director), and won Best Cinematography (Lee Garmes). It became Dietrich's biggest US box-office hit, taking in a record amount of $3.7 million for Paramount.
Tarzan, the Ape Man
Director: W.S. Van Dyke
The first sound Tarzan film, and one of the best renditions of Edgar Rice Burrough's classic jungle tales. An expedition searching for elephant ivory treasures in a graveyard is met in the wilds of Africa by ape man of the jungle, Tarzan (Johnny Weismuller). He kidnaps English girl Jane (Maureen O'Sullivan), the daughter of the leader of the British expedition, and the two discover their love for each other.
Film production costs reached $1 million for the studio. This film introduced the chimpanzee Chetah, and provided the Weissmuller yodel yell (produced by MGM's sound department), although the ape-call originated in a 1929 part-talkie serial (starring Frank Merrill). It also marked the first of six Tarzan movies starring both Johnny Weissmuller and Irish-born actress Maureen O'Sullivan (between 1932 and 1942). They are universally acknowledged as the most loved and famous of the many Tarzan characters.
This entertaining film, directed by W.S. Van Dyke, used extensive, left-over African jungle location footage from MGM's early talking adventure film Trader Horn (1931), also by Van Dyke.

Director: Ernst Lubitsch
A sophisticated, witty, comedy farce. The story of two jewel thieves Gaston Monescu/LaValle (Herbert Marshall) and Lily Vautier (Miriam Hopkins), who fall in love as they worked together to fleece widow Mme. Mariette Colet (Kay Francis) of her fortune, by posing as her secretary and maid. However, things didn't go as planned, as Gaston falls in love with Mariette, and is recognized by a former victim.
This treasured comic film masterpiece, a pinnacle of sophisticated romantic comedy, beautifully epitomizes the "Lubitsch Touch" with its flair for pre-Hays Code sexual comedy, witty innuendo-filled, suggestive dialogue, orchestrated grace and charming style, subtle use of details, and sardonic humor. Lubitsch's Trouble in Paradise was his first non-musical sound comedy.
Director: Victor Halperin
The grand-daddy of all modern-day zombie films of the sound era, with effective, atmospheric horror, although dated. This was Bela Lugosi's follow-up film to Dracula (1931), and his second most important movie role. The low-budget film was the archetype and model for many subsequent zombie movies. Wealthy planter and plantation owner Charles Beaumont (Robert Frazer) invites an American couple in Haiti, Neil Parker (John Harron) and his fiancee Madeline Short (Madge Bellamy), to his plantation for their marriage. On the way, they encounter the white sorcerer-master of the Haitian sugar mill, evil voodoo master Murder Legendre (Béla Lugosi), who has stocked the plantation with an army of hollow-eyed zombies under his voodoo spell. Beaumont is the lusting admirer of Madeline, but his unrequited love is rebuffed by her plans to marry Neil. With no other alternative, jealous Beaumont hires witch-doctor Legendre to use a potion to temporarily turn Madeline into a zombie. After the marriage ceremony, Madeline is slipped the potion, apparently dies, and is buried in a tomb. The plan is to have her declared legally dead and have Neil return to the US. Then, Charles could secretly revive or raise Madeline from the dead and romance her. Regretful of his evil deed and due to Legendre's own dark plans for him, Charles is also transformed into a semi-zombie figure, imprisoned in Legendre's fortified, cliff-side castle. Neil joins with missionary Dr. Bruner (Joseph Cawthorn) to rescue Madeline from the castle, where they battle both Legendre and his threatening zombie guards. During the violent confrontation, a repentant Charles break through the voodoo spell he is under and attacks Legendre. Both Legendre and Charles fall from the fortress tower to their deaths far below on the beach. After Legendre's death, Madeline is released from her zombie state, and returns to the arms of her loving husband Neil.

Moderate earthquake rocks Bay area
Little damage reported following 5.6 temblor near San Jose.
SAN JOSE, Calif. | October 31, 2007
Little damage has been reported following a moderate earthquake Tuesday night that struck northeast of San Jose.
The magnitude 5.6 temblor is one of the larger quakes to hit the San Francisco Bay area since the major Loma Prieta quake of 1989 which measured a magnitude 6.9. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the earthquake hit at 8:04 p.m. (PDT) and was centered five miles north-northeast of Alum Rock.
The quake was felt over a wide area. Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) trains were stopped for several minutes following the quake but officials said that was standard procedure following an earthquake that impacts the region. Fire officials in San Jose said they received dozens of calls for broken water and gas lines and cracks in walls, but no major damage was reported.

This report offers a view on 'welfare reform' in recent years from the perspective of the Clydebank Independent Resource Centre (CIRC). It is being written at a crucial moment in the history of welfare in the UK. The Welfare Reform Bill currently going through Parliament represents, in the words of the Social Security Advisory Committee (SSAC), "a major departure from the principles … that have underpinned UK social protection for almost 60 years". The plan is to "shake up the benefit system". The "architect" behind the plan is a former banker, David Freud. He is the banker referred to in the main title of the report. He is also the person to whom 'the bankies' (people from Clydebank) are addressing themselves – though of course they are simultaneously, and every bit as importantly, addressing themselves to the politicians who appointed him as their key adviser.

Penetration testing is a key component of an IT Security program. GizmoFish and other Boston area IT Support companies can offer this service to you at relatively low cost. But it should be part of a larger overall security program. Let me explain what penetration testing is and how it fits into a security program.
You have your internal network inside your company and this is where all your computers and devices reside. Then there is of course the internet - the external network. A firewall is the device that sits in between your internal network and routes traffic to and from the internet to and from the appropriate device on your internal network. The firewall is the device that makes sure that when you click on a link to download a file for example the file downloads to YOUR computer and not your coworker's computer. But the other thing a firewall does as you may guess by the name is to protect your internal network from all the baddies out there. The firewall is configured by your IT Support company or department to only allow in traffic that you specifically want to allow in.
So here is where penetration testing comes in. Penetration testing tries all kinds of approaches to try to breach the firewall and gain access to your network. You are looking for vulnerabilities. This is what the bad guys do all day long so you are essentially doing it yourself to try to find any vulnerabilities before the bad guys do. The penetration test will produce a report showing all the attacks it tried and if any were successful in gaining access to your internal network.
In addition to the benefit of finding security vulnerabilities it is also documentation that you have taken proactive steps to protect your network. If your network is ever breached and there is any regulatory and legal action it may be important to show that you took a proactive approach to security.
If your penetration test finds vulnerabilities your IT Support company can take steps to close those "holes" in your firewall. A penetration test by itself is not enough to tell you how secure your company is. As I said above it is only 1 component of a larger IT Security program. But it is an important piece and can help you ensure your company's security.
GizmoFish can run a penetration test on your network as part of an overall IT Security audit and program. Call GizmoFish at 866-MY-GIZMO (866-694-4966) Ext. 1 or just click on the link below.

Our appointment with the caretaker to return the apartment keys was at 11:00am. On the dot, the caretaker arrived. He returned our precious Euro 300 deposit in exchange for the keys, after satisfying himself that everything was intact in the apartment. Anyway, the washing machine was too big to stuff inside our travelling bag! Ha...ha
Unlike Paris where Mimi had already pre-booked the apartment, we had no accomodation booked for Venice. Somehow Mimi missed this important task in her to-do list. And we would be arriving in the evening in Venice. So first on our must do list was to get to an internet facility to book a place to stay on arrival this evening in Venice.
A 5 minutes walk from the apartment got us to an internet outlet. No French required. The outlet was manned by a Sri Lankan lass. We decided to google for "accomodation near the airport". A few tries and presto, we got one within a reasonable budget of Euro 156. One potential headache cleared and we were soon in the metro heading for Place Monge to visit Paris Mosque.
Exiting the station, I asked a lady for direction. She was obviously French but spoke English ala French and pointed us to the direction. Crossing the street and taking the first turn, the star and crescent symbolising a mosque was in our view.
Where opportunity prevails, I do look forward to visit mosques in a foreign land. I recalled visiting several mosques in Chengdu, China. For one used to see Chinese temples, one could mistake the mosques as temples. That's the beauty of different cultures.
It would be wishful thinking to expect a mosque in France to take the architecture of medieval Europe, ala Notre Dame. So, Paris Mosque was moorish in architecture, built by the North Africans in 1922. Information on the internet recorded that it was build to honor the North African countries that had helped France during World War I. That would be some history to dig.
However, I always feel at home in a mosque, foreign or otherwise. I am sure others feel the same way as I do.
A French Muslim lady then ushered us in, into the courtyard towards the main prayer hall.
The courtyard was square in shape. In the centre stood an ablution pool. Though no longer used in the modern era, the pool would have served its purpose during its earlier years.
A lone student was in the library, rather oblivous to me taking a shot. A library in a mosque is not something we see quite often in our local mosques in Malaysia.
There were several Muslims inside the prayer hall, some reciting the Quran. A few were in supplications. We took the opportunity for sembahyang sunat. My wife told me the Muslim ladies were fascinated by the telekong she wore for prayers.
We spent roughly an hour at the Paris Mosque and also met a group of French Muslims of Algerian descent. One young man offered us coffee which we gladly accepted and struck some short conversations with Mimi and I. He had heard of Malaysia which he spoke highly of and we just let him to continue saying the good things he had heard of Malaysia.
Visit over. It was past lunch time. We had lunch and pretty soon were back in the Metro heading for Port Maillot. The bus left at 5:30 pm and we settled in for the trip to the airport, bound for Venice, with the comfort of knowing that the accomodation awaited us.
At the departure lounge, which was crowded with holiday-makers like us, I cant help noticing this very serious warning.
No Christian Dior for me!

Why Kristen Stewart Is Afraid to Admit She's Dating Robert Pattinson
Even though she accidentally did to 'GQ.'
It's been something of an open secret for years, but yep, Kristen Stewart is dating her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson. The actress accidentally admitted as much at her photo shoot for British GQ, where the reporter assigned to profile her happened to be eavesdropping while Stewart said that she was looking forward to touring the United Kingdom because "my boyfriend is English." However, when the reporter brought it up to Stewart the next day, she immediately went cold: "I never would have said that if I knew you were going to be interviewing me."
Interview w/ Kristen for Nov Issue of GQ (UK) [Strictly Robsten]

SceneSampler is a collaborative game for two. The game invites people to move through the festival in ways that they wouldn't otherwise, and captures traces that give a feel for the flavor of the experience of the 'scene' over time. Each player gets a tech-enabled prop: one wears a 'camera' with an embedded tablet and the other carries a sound 'sampler' built using Adafruit components. Players get collection challenges --e.g. find a silent crowd-- that require them to collaborate to fill up the sampler with the ambient noise at the scene, and to take a snapshot of the scene itself. Then, they return to home base to share what they found with a human game master. Successful samples are marked on a map of the festival's space with a sticker for that particular challenge. Over time, the map builds up a layer of stickers, visualizing a meaningful social soundscape of the festival. Images taken are also uploaded onto social media for interested festival goers to see the locations of various social sounds. Players can take on as many challenges as they like, and when they're done, can pose for a group picture with a placard showing their accomplishments, which also goes into the social media stream. SceneSampler gives players a fun reason to move together through the social space, that also captures interesting traces of the sociospatial scene of the festival.

April 12, 2017 08:00 ET
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - April 12, 2017) - Furnished Quarters, the leading provider of temporary furnished apartments in the Northeastern United States and beyond, is growing its core portfolio with new buildings and additional apartments. Areas of expansion include Connecticut, Brooklyn, Boston, Cambridge and Manhattan.
Stamford, Connecticut has experienced a 40% growth in apartments to accommodate increased corporate client demand. New Connecticut buildings include Element One and Village at Stamford Apartments.
Brooklyn, non-existent in the Furnished Quarters portfolio a year ago, is the fastest growth area for the company. With the addition of a fourth building at 180 Montague Street, Furnished Quarters now has stunning accommodations in Brooklyn Heights, Williamsburg, and Downtown Brooklyn. Each Brooklyn neighborhood is a quick commute to Manhattan and offers a unique style from family-friendly to hipster cool. Restaurants, shopping, and an art and music scene abound in this borough which is often more requested than Manhattan for temporary stays.
The Greater Boston Area, at near full occupancy, is opening up availability with apartment set-ups in Cambridge at Kendall Square and an expansion into the newly popular Seaport District. This special part of the city now boasts everything from an assortment of retail to green spaces and waterways. Fitness Centers Equinox and Reebok, as well as an impressive list of restaurants including Aceituna Grill, Better Bagels, by CHLOE, Yo! Sushi and Mastro's Steakhouse are all scheduled to open in the Seaport by fall.
New York City, home base for Furnished Quarters' sales and marketing, added 101W15, a sleek, modern Chelsea residential building to its Manhattan corporate housing inventory.
"We definitely are seeing a rise in corporate housing reservations now that the election is behind us and we are entering spring," notes Steve Brown, CEO of Furnished Quarters. "It's exciting to see new neighborhoods in our locales become the most requested for short-term stays."
About Furnished Quarters
Furnished Quarters provides stylish, fully equipped temporary furnished apartments, both nationally and globally. The company, established in 1998 in New York City by brothers Steven and Gary Brown, is the largest independently owned and operated supplier of short-term housing in the Northeastern United States, with a focus on New York City and Boston. Corporate clients have one-call access to over 40,000 furnished rentals worldwide that are sourced, vetted and managed by Furnished Quarters' Global Solutions Center. Additionally, the company's Q&A Residential Hotel in Lower Manhattan offers hotel-style stays in full-sized apartments. For more information visit furnishedquarters.com.

text: I don't have my R4, but i've decided to make 12 skins for my R4. I noticed on other peoples work that there are some thing that I should probably watch out for, like, why do people put this horizontal line on the top of the screen on one of the backgrounds? Could someone label a skin layout with what each part of the skin does?

Yes, I'm keeping up with the fascinating end of month reports that you can read instead of all the daily nonsense. Or not.
January 1: 215.2 pounds (15 stone 5.2 pounds, 97.6kg)
January 31: 214.4 pounds (15 stone 4.4 pounds, 97.3kg)
Difference: 0.8 pounds (0.4kg), which is not very good at all. Still, it does show some recovery from the higher weights I reached a couple of weeks ago.
Ah. Yes. Well. Maybe it's the cold weather, or just lack of self-discipline, or whatever, but I've been having a lot of trouble resisting the lure of the sausage rolls at lunchtime. This is no doubt a major contribution to my quite noticeable lack of progress on the weight loss front.
Not that impressive, either. Out of 22 working days, I walked in just 11 times. Walking home doesn't seem to be happening at all.
Well, not bad. I had a strong start to the month, then went quiet for a bit before having a late surge to finish January. Total including this post: 65.

Toronto Snow-Free in November For the First Time Since Medieval Warm Period
Of course weather has nothing to do with climate, and we in Toronto haven't got hockey sticks right since 1967, and everyone says it has been getting cooler for a decade. But we just went through the first November without a single snowflake since they started keeping records in 1847 and I am greasing my bicycle, not waxing my snowboard. But global warming isn't happening, right? Who is denying what? Just sayin'.
More in the Toronto Star: First snow-free November in 162 years?

Featured Artist(s)
Trapper Schoepp
Trapper Schoepp is a young man who's befriended a strange and diverse cast of characters during his 24 years. That small army of rogues and rebels, drifters and dreamers, soldiers and schemers populate his songs, their tragedies and comedies, their lives and deaths recalled in his finely etched musical vignettes.
The Minnesota-born, Wisconsin-based tunesmith and teller of tales (both tall and true), returns with his second effort "Rangers & Valentines" (Xtra Mile Recordings). The record follows his critically acclaimed 2012 debut "Run Engine, Run", with his band the Shades. That LP earned notices in Rolling Stone, American Songwriter and Paste, with the folks at Huffington Post calling him a "master storyteller" and PBS hailing his "story songs that explore and explode the conventions of rock and roll."
On "Rangers & Valentines", Schoepp defies the limitations of the standard-issue Americana platter, hopping genres - you'll hear lots of brass, backing singers and B-3 - as the songs build to delirious musical highs. His narratives, meanwhile, find subjects in the narrow margins of society, the strange twists (literal and metaphorical) in the weather, and the vagaries of a troubadour's transient life - with lyrics that flash a lacerating wit and humanist streak that's at the core of his craft.
Produced by pop polymath and Raconteurs member Brendan Benson at his Readymade Studios in Nashville, the record finds Schoepp handling vocals, guitar and harmonica. He's aided by an array of estimable musicians including his brother and musical-foil-since-birth Tanner Schoepp (providing bass guitar and vocal harmonies), Steve Selvidge (The Hold Steady), John Davis (Superdrag), the McCrary Sisters - even comedian and WTF podcaster Marc Maron chips in on background vocals and lead guitar.
Schoepp shines up the well-worn clichés of singer-songwriterdom and renders them anew. Evoking a series of vivid protagonists and settings (fittingly, each track will have its own accompanying video, solidifying the cinematic quality of this set) his work variously recalls prime Prine (John, that is), the nuances of Newman (Randy, of course), the boozy bonhomie of The Replacements, and the unflinching language of someone well-versed in the Zevonian dialect.
Schoepp mixes fact and family lore to conjure the hardscrabble history "Ballad of Olof Johnson" and chides modern-day wannabes on "Lost Cowboy." The road story "Ogalalla" answers the question: what happens to your mind when you're snowbound in Nebraska with nothing but a bottle of Nyquil and The Hobbit at the local picture show for company? Meanwhile, the arch love song satire "Talking Girlfriend Blues" deftly explains how to preserve your dignity while hitchhiking to a date – and what to do when your ride turns out to have eyes for the same girl.
Elsewhere, "Don't Go" offers a poetic post-9/11 story of love and war; while "Settlin' or Sleepin' Around" questions modern-day swipe right, hook up culture. Schoepp continues his affinity for songs set in hospitals with "Mono Pt. II" – which explores the kissing disease and the institutional runaround of health care in America (unfortunately a familiar subject for the young man). And he pays tribute to old friends and outsized characters with "For Jonny" (dedicated to his longtime drummer Jonny Philip) and the heart-rending requiem "Dream".
Having released his debut on SideOneDummy, Rangers & Valentines is being put out by London-based Xtra Mile Recordings. Hipped to Schoepp's work by fellow singer-songwriter Frank Turner, among others, Xtra Mile honcho Charlie Caplowe quickly signed him to the label. Schoepp - who's already crisscrossed the country sharing stages with fellow travelers like The Wallflowers, The Jayhawks and The Old 97's - will be back on the road throughout 2016 in support of "Ranger & Valentines", starting with a 3-week run throughout the UK and Europe supporting Jesse Malin.
Like the album, it'll be another opportunity to catch a young journeyman at work.

Robbins police were questioning several people of interest today regarding a shooting that left a 22-year-old man dead in the southwest suburb overnight, officials said.
Pilford Jones, of the 3500 block of West 135th Street in Robbins, was declared dead at 12:45 a.m. today at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
The shooting happened at 11:57 p.m. Thursday and stemmed from a physical altercation Jones had with other individuals before the shooting broke out, said Robbins Det. Sgt. D. Hatchett.

Sunday's sermon a few days early
Though the weatherman might disagree, we are into summer and yet another Independence Day soon approaches...
The Gospel has just been proclaimed, a familiar story...Jesus is heavy into his public ministry and scarcely has a moment alone to recharge his batteries.
His dying daughter.
An unclean woman.
Healings abound.
Does one have anything to do with the other?
Is there a connection between patriotism and the Christian faith?
More specifically, is there some connection between American patriotism and the Christian faith?
Independence Day is about being independent. And we Americans are indeed proud of our so-called independent spirit, our individualism. We speak longingly of the frontier where, when the smoke of a neighbor's chimney became visible, it was time to move on.
But Christianity is about dependence -- dependence on the goodness and grace of God -- and interdependence -- dependence on one another as a body of believers. Christianity is about living in community. It is sometimes said that there is no such thing as a solitary Christian; I have to agree with the truth of that statement except, perhaps, in some very extreme circumstances.
We tend to link the words "God and country" together as if they are somehow grammatically and inseparably joined. However, when we think about it, we know the link isn't always there. An honorable person, a Christian, will, of course, perform their patriotic duties because fellow citizens are dependent upon their doing their part -- but only to the extent the nation's demands do not conflict with God's commands.
The First Commandment forbids us from having any gods other than the one true God -- the God revealed to us in Jesus Christ. We are to be loyal to our nation, but as Christians we are not to worship it.
So, we have to be careful when we celebrate nationhood in the church. Some denominations -- I'm thinking of the Mennonites in particular right now -- do not permit a flag in the church. Now the Mennonites I have known are very responsible American citizens, but they are clear on who is being worshiped in the church -- God and not the state.
But, having said these words of caution, I do think there is a clear link between what America is to stand for and what happens in today's Gospel reading from the fifth chapter of Mark. I think we see an intersection of the Gospel and some of our highest national ideals.
The Gospel story begins with Jesus' return from his trip across the Sea of Galilee in which the great storm was encountered and calmed. He gets out of the boat and is immediately surrounded by a huge crowd of people. Just imagine the scene, the masses of people. Imagine it from the point of view of the people in the crowd. You may have been in a similar situation at some time in your life -- in the midst of a crowd of people straining forward to try to see what's going on, to catch a glimpse of the action. You know how difficult it can be to see anything unless you're fortunate enough to be one of the really tall people in the crowd. And you really can't move except in unity with the crowd as a whole. Yet our Scripture tells us that Jairus comes along and steps right up to Jesus, falling at Jesus' feet. I think that says a lot about Jairus' position in the community. He was a leader of the synagogue and the people must've stood aside for him to make his way to Jesus. He was a Very Important Person.
And Jesus takes Jairus' request seriously. Upon hearing about the condition of Jairus' daughter, Jesus "went with him."
But then there's that woman;
that unclean, outcast of a woman;
that woman who is not supposed to be around anyone;
that woman who has, in almost everyone's eyes, been cursed by the very God Jesus represents. She touches Jesus' cloak, and Jesus feels the power go out from him. So he stops and demands to know who touched him.
Jesus knows that her need is greater than just being healed of the bleeding.
She needs to be accepted into the community.
She needs to be assured that she is not cursed by God.
So Jesus stops and listens to her, and calls her "daughter," and tells her to go in peace.
Jesus takes time for the outcast, for the rejected, for the woman pushed to the very margins of society.
That woman is every bit as important as the daughter of a prestigious synagogue leader. For that matter, she is as important as the synagogue leader himself.
Social standing means absolutely nothing to Jesus.
Jesus welcomes all who seek him.
And, at its best, the United States of America welcomes those who seek new life within its borders.
In the harbor of New York City, on a small island stands a lady who waits to welcome the world. Beneath her feet are the words:
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
Oh! How these words reflect the heart of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They speak words of welcome just like Jesus does. They say all are welcome in this great land, just as all are welcome in Jesus' kingdom.
This is something we can hold up as pleasing to God. This is something worthy of God's blessing.
To the extent that we as a nation live by these words, it is perhaps appropriate to link "country" with "God."
For when we are about the business of welcoming people into community with us, we are doing God's work. That is some of the most important work we do for God. For it is in this welcoming that healing and life comes about.
It is in this welcoming that others can find the eternal life offered by God through Jesus Christ.
The greatness of America is, I believe, largely attributable to its welcoming of peoples "yearning to breathe free" -- Germans, Irish, English, French, Italians, Scandinavians, Poles, Hungarians, Russians. Jamaicans, Haitians, Cubans. Mexicans, Salvadorians, Hondurans, and Ecuadorians. Iraqis, Afghans, and Iranians. We welcomed these people, we continue to welcome these people, into America by allowing them to enter. For this God has blessed us. Sadly, the people of America often do not welcome the newcomers -- we are in fact hostile toward them -- and I think for that reason the blessing is less. The residents of America cannot claim the fullness of the blessing that would have been available to America if we truly opened our hearts to all of the newcomers.
We are to welcome people not just because, as the writer of Hebrews warns, we might be entertaining angels unawares, but because all people possess the image of God. God's people are to be a welcoming people. I can think of nowhere else other than this place, this house of God, this community of believers, for this to be true. We people of Epiphany are indeed a congregation of immigrants. My great-great grandfather arrived in NY from Germany on April 24, 1857, maybe your ancestors did as well. Maybe you came to our country 100 years later or so from a Caribbean island. Maybe you've come to the US from a Latin American country post Y2K. Maybe you have more recently arrived from France or Poland. It matters not, for we are indeed a congregation of immigrants and we know what it is like to have been newcomers searching for a welcome.
So, in preparation for this coming Independence Day, I invite you to reflect on your welcoming skills. Our ideals as a nation call us to welcome those from other lands to share in our bounty. But think about welcoming on a more personal level. How welcoming are you to new people in our community? How welcoming are you to our guests or to these new members in our church? Do you greet them at fellowship time and spend some time talking with them? Do you invite them to sit down with you and participate in the refreshments. Or do you just leave that to others? At the potluck, do you make a point of sitting at a table with them and actually talking to them?
Do you do it even if they don't look like your "kind of people"?
Jesus reminds us today that we are not to leave people on the margins, but that we are to welcome them into our fellowship. Let us keep that reminder in our in the front of our hearts and minds as we go out into our world this week.
Our God is a welcoming God. The greatest welcome we can extend to anyone is to invite him or her to join with us at God's table. There is no better way to demonstrate our unity as one people in Christ -- to make the point that in Christ's church NO ONE IS ON THE MARGINS -- than to participate together in the Holy Communion.
As Paul says to the church in Corinth, "Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread." In God through Christ Jesus, there is no distinction.
Black, brown, white, or something in between, we who are many are one body.
We who speak English, nosotros que hablamos Español, we who are many are one body, nosotros que son muchos somos un cuerpo.
Male and female, young and not so young, gay or straight, we are one body.
Let us not, here at Epiphany, push any to the margins but, rather, let us welcome each other to the table, the table where God calls us all to be fed by God with the body and blood of the Son, Jesus our Lord. And strengthened by this Holy Meal, may we take the unity that we share here, at this table, with us that we might truly be welcoming people. Amen

I recently had a client send me a link to a New York Times article that featured a video we had launched a few weeks earlier. Fantastic! Getting media coverage was one of my client's top goals. Yet, rather than being super excited, he was happy but regretful that it was another organization that made the video mention happen.
Yes, the article was not a direct result of this client's media strategy but it is time to celebrate, your video just went viral.
True, the number of click throughs from this particular New York Times article to the video itself may not be high as if the article was just about the video in question. The article was quite lengthy and on a somewhat complicated topic.
That doesn't negate the fact that the video was featured. And on top of that, it was featured without the efforts involved with doing a press release or media pitch.
So, when we talk about video, what does this term "viral" mean?
When we say a video goes viral, people automatically think of a silly video suddenly getting millions of hits.
However, in simple terms, a video goes viral when one or more "carriers" spread it to their audiences so your viewership grows beyond your own original reach.
By "carriers" I mean anyone on the internet sharing your video link or embedding it into their content. These links generally include a few words or paragraphs about why people should watch the video.
The result. Your video is getting more visibility and views organically, from others posting links to it.
Can you help your video go viral?
Yes! Absolutely.
There are several ways that you can help your video become more shareable and in turn go viral.
Come up with a Good Title and Thumbnail
Write a Blog Worthy Description
Share your video with partners and ask them to share it with their audiences
Reach out to Bloggers who write about your Topic
Come up with a Good Title and Thumbnail:
Whether you post your video on YouTube or another platform, be sure to give it a title and thumbnail image that invites curiosity.
Look for future blog posts about this topic. But get creative. Use words that people are searching for. And write something short and sweet that sparks interest but doesn't summarize your entire video so they are inspired to click and discover more.
Write a Blog Worthy Description:
In your YouTube or Vimeo description area, include information on why people should watch your video. This could mean writing a brief paragraph about what inspired the video or including some statistics that are particularly surprising.
Often times bloggers will lift some of your description directly from your YouTube description section. Having a good description helps save bloggers time and energy. Plus you help guide the way your video is presented to other audiences.
Share Your Video with Partners. Then ask them to share it with their audiences:
Yes, sometimes you have to ask people before they'll share your video. So let them know that you are happy to share.
If the video is on a topic that your partners' audiences are interested in, they will be happy to share your video. And most likely so will their audience members.
Reach Out to Bloggers Who Write About Your Topic:
Let the people writing about your topic know about your video. There are so many videos being launched every day, and if the blogger in question isn't following you or is following but misses your post, they will may miss your video completely.
So reach out to them and send them a link and a note mentioning that you thought their audience might be interested in your video. If they think the content is relevant, and you have a good title and good description, you've just made this bloggers life easier.
And readers of blogs are more likely to be in the mindset to click on video link than readers of longer form news content.
Bloggers, a personal story
I started a video series on Tips for Urban Biking for my independent documentary project, Mind the Gap. When I launched the first few videos I was more interested in content creation than getting the videos seen.
So when I got the first spike in viewership I was surprised.
Then I was curious.
It turned out I had two pieces of luck.
First, YouTube featured one of the first videos in my series. Having the video featured got me a lot of views.
Second, a local San Francisco blogger wrote about one of the videos (in which she was featured) in her blog about San Francisco bike fashion, Velo Vogue.
I had no idea that a blog about a topic that seemed so specific would generate so much interest. See, her followers were not contained to San Francisco cyclists.
Her followers included both people interested in fashion and cycling across the world, but also bicycle advocates across the world and many of her followers wrote their own blogs.
Her followers viewed the video and several of her blogger followers re-posted the video on their own blogs. So my number of viewers increased significantly.
What is the value of the New York Times link?
The case of my client's New York Times "mention" shows that the value of a "carrier" may go beyond number and may not even directly cause a great spike in numbers.
Getting your video linked in an article published in the New York Times is not trivial. While it may not drive tons of views, it does give you credibility.
Editors of major news agencies have to vet their stories. I don't know this for sure, but my guess is that they also vet the video content they link out to in order to ensure their reputation.
So getting a link in the NYT is a huge boost of credibility, especially for a politically charged topic.
So having that link can help when you are writing to bloggers. Mentioning the NYT mention helps bloggers feel more confident about sharing your video.
And the viral cycle continues.
It's About Value
In the end, does your video provide value to the end viewer. Is it so valuable others want to watch and share it? Does it provide information, entertainment or an emotional journey?
If it does, people will want to share your video and there are ways you can help them find it.
Have you found success with any of these techniques? Inspired to see to try this out on existing content? Share your goals and experiences below.

June 17, 2015- For immediate release
JEFFERSON CITY -With heavy rain forecasted across the state over the next few days, the Missouri Department of Transportation cautions motorists that some state routes are expected to close due to flooding. The recent heavy rains have also washed out culverts over smaller streams causing roads to be closed. The already saturated creeks and streams are expected to rise with flash flooding conditions across the state. Currently, more than 30 roads are closed across the state, and those numbers are expected to increase.
Current road closures are posted on the MoDOT's Traveler Information Map, located at http://www.modot.org/. The map is also available as a free app for your iPhone or Android phone or device. The majority of flooded roadways are expected on lettered and numbered routes with low traffic volumes.
MoDOT offers the following driving tips that can help avoid delays and unsafe conditions during rainy weather:
• Turn on your headlights when windshield wipers are needed. It's the law.
• Slow down, use caution, and don't use cruise control when driving in rain to avoid skidding and hydroplaning.
• Leave plenty of following distance behind the vehicle in front of yours.
• Never move or drive around barricades placed on roadways due to high water. Barricades are a warning designed to protect you from an unsafe condition. You can put yourself at serious risk if you proceed into a flooded section of road.
• If a road is closed, find another route.
• Do NOT drive into high water. Stop and turn around. Notify local police, the sheriff or the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
MoDOT crews will open roads after the water recedes and routes are cleared for safe travel. For more information, visit http://www.modot.org/ or contact the MoDOT Customer Service Center at 1-888-ASK-MODOT (888-275-6636).

Hailing from the Southside of Chicago, Lester Fitzpatrick (known to many as King Les) has been producing records for over 25 years. Incredibly profflic and never one to let the quality drop, he's set to release his Chi House EP on Dave Maclean (Django Django)'s Kick + Clap label.
Every track is a recipe for the greatest of nights out, a feverish combination of jacking, disco and techno. Lester, a legend in his own right, cites the likes of Farley Jack Master Funk, Larry Heard, Mike Dunn and Joey Beltram as influences.
Check out new cut "Galaxy" below.
Chi House EP will be available on 12" vinyl and digitally on 19 August 2016
