June 26, 1922 ~ December 9, 2013
Eleanor Parker started out in film as a Warner Brothers girl. Her most notorious role was as the 'Baroness' in The Sound of Music.
Here at Classic Hollywood Rochellelynn and I prefer to remember Eleanor for one of her lighter Holiday roles costarring with Errol Flynn in 'Never Say Goodbye'. Playing a divorced wife trying to get back together again with her ex-husband over the holidays. Throughout her career Eleanor acted toe to toe with some of our favorite leading men: Dennis Morgan, John Garfield, Errol Flynn, and Clark Gable to name a few. Her diverse roles garnered her best actress nominations for three films; Caged 1950, Detective Story 1951, Interrupted Melody 1955. We'll miss you Eleanor but we'll never say goodbye.

I am linking up with Abby at Third Grade Bookworm for a very merry linky party.
I love, love, love Christmas! It's my most favourite holiday and time of the year. Everything about this festive time (except my Visa bill) makes me happy...even the commercials-I kid you not.
There are a number of books that I read to the kids during December, but one that I especially love is The Jolly Christmas Postman by Allan Ahlberg.
The story is about a postman who delivers gifts and packages to nursery rhyme characters. It is one of a series of Jolly Postman books, all of which are fun, whimsical and enjoyable. Of course, this one has a Christmas theme and is full of lift-the-flaps that hold the little gifts and letters for each character. So cute!

This blog post shows you how to add code completion and documentation lookup support for Appcelerator Titanium in IntelliJ IDEA. This is mostly building on top of the posts made by Amit Kothari and James Low.
The first step is to get your hands on a JavaScript file containing the API and documentation with JSDoc tags by using the utilities described here, or by grabbing the file from my GitHub repository. Note that the file in this repository is specifically for Titanium Mobile.
The easiest method is to simply place the JavaScript within the project directory so that IntelliJ can parse it, as described in Amit's blog post.
The other method is to add the Titanium JavaScript file generated above as a global library in IntelliJ as described here. The steps in the article are summarized below:
JavaScript Libraries item in the
Project Settings section in
Configure global JavaScript libraries available on the right hand pane, which will open up the
Project Structure dialog.
Global Libraries item in the
Platform Settings section.
+ (plus) button on the top of the dialog, which will add a new global library
Attach Debug Version(s) button and selecting the file in the dialog.
Now all we need to do is associate our Appcelerator projects with this library, which is done by:
Usage Scope sub menu under the
JavaScript Libraries item available under
Project Settings in
Preferences. This should show the project in the right hand panel.
This should now enable code completion and documentation lookup as shown below:
Add code completion and documentation lookup support for Appcelerator Titanium in IntelliJ IDEA.
I've been spending some time playing around with Appcelerator Titanium Mobile recently, and been doing most of it using Titanium Studio, which is an IDE built on top of Aptana, which in turn is built on top of Eclipse.
Although I'm a big fan of Eclipse and all the work they've done for the development community, I've found myself recently moving towards the JetBrains suite of products, specially due to their amazing integration with all the major languages and frameworks. Stuff just works!
Unfortunately getting code completion and documentation lookup working for Titanium in IntelliJ was harder that it should be due to the Titanium API being exposed through JSON in a proprietary format called JSCA. I'm guessing the reason for this is due to the various programming languages that they support for Titanium, and maintaining the API documentation for all the different languages in a manner supported for each of the languages would turn into a nightmare pretty quickly. However for my purposes all I needed was a properly annotated JavaScript file that I can use with IntelliJ. Since this wasn't readily available, I resorted to creating my own by parsing the Titanium JSON API.
You can find the utilities I used to convert the JSON JSCA API under my GitHub account here, along with the resulting Titanium Mobile JavaScript file. Unfortunately some of the identifiers used in Titanium do not convert to valid JavaScript, but nonetheless I found the generated file quite useful. I simply added this file as a JavaScript module in IntelliJ and got pretty good completion and documentation working in the projects I was playing around with.
I got the idea of generating this JavaScript after reading about a similar converter in my good friend Amit Kothari's blog post. The script was written in PHP by James Low. Unfortunately this script changes some the identifiers to get around the problem of invalid JavaScript identifiers and the documentation uses ScriptDoc tags, both of which doesn't work very well with IntelliJ.]]>
Unlike Eclipse, IntelliJ doesn't seem to provide a way to export and import code formatters through the GUI. Instead we need to manually copy a particular file from/to an directory created by IntelliJ to store code styles.
The formatting options used by IDEA can be customised through the Code Styles section in the Settings (or Preferences in OS X) window. After customising the styling rules to what you like, click on the Use per project settings radio button, and click on the Export button. This will bring up a dialog asking for the name of the code style scheme that you've created, and once you've entered an appropriate name, click on the OK button to save this scheme. This will now create and save a XML file with the given name within the
codestyles directory and is equivalent to Eclipse's export code formatter option, except you cannot specify the location you want the file to be saved. The directory this file is placed in is platform dependent and is listed in the next section. You can now use this file to share the code formatting rules used in your project with the other members of your team.
The code styles directory is platform dependent, and is available in the locations listed below. Please note that you need to replace
<product-name> with the name and version of IDEA you use. Mac OS X:
\. \config\codeStyles\
If you want to use a code style scheme that was created and shared by someone else, then simply copy the file over to the relevant
codestyles directory for your platform as listed in the previous section. After restarting the IDE, you should see this new scheme under the Code Styles section in the Settings window.
A guide on how to export and import IntelliJ code style formatter settings so that they can be shared within your team.
Some integration tests and almost all acceptance tests require the availability of a deployed application, and it's always a good idea to run your tests by deploying the application into the target container itself. Almost all the applications I develop end up running on JBoss, and given JBoss 7's amazing startup times and Cargo supporting JBoss 7 since version 1.1.2, there's almost no excuse for not running (at least most of) these tests within the main build cycle itself. The following is a brief outline of how you can configure your Maven build to startup JBoss, run integration tests and shutdown the container once done. Since I don't like depending on the availability of a JBoss installation as a prerequisite for a build, we will also download the application server as part of the build and process. More information on the Cargo's Maven integration can be found in the Cargo Maven 2 Reference Guide, and information on Cargo's support for JBoss 7 can be found in the Cargo JBoss 7 page.
We can download JBoss 7, unpack it, start up the container, deploy the app, run integration tests, and shutdown the container by including the following in our
pom.xml and replacing the
deployable section with the details of the application artifact.
Please check the following sections for a more complete explanation of what's been done here.
This section aims to provide a more detailed explanation of the what's been done in the pom file extract above.
Cargo can be configured to download and unpack a container within the target directory by specifying the URL to a ZIP of the container in the
zipUrlInstaller element within the
container section as follows:
Alternatively we can configure Cargo to download the container as a Maven Artifact by using the
artifactInstaller element instead of a
zipUrlInstaller element. More information on accessing JBoss 7 as a maven artifact can be found here. Please note that in addition to the following, we also need to make sure that we can access the JBoss Maven Repository through the pom, which has been described in the provided link.
We start and stop the container in the
pre-integration-test and
post-integration-test phases by specifying the
executions section of the plugin as shown below:
This binds the
start and
stop phases of the cargo plugin to the relevant integration test phases.
We can get Cargo to deploy our application artifact into the container in one of two ways:
deployable within the
configuration/configuration/deployables section of the plugin. Note that there is a second
configuration section in Cargo.
deployable within the
configuration/deployer/deployables section of the plugin
The first has the advantage that the artifact is deployed before the container is started and therefore has a small startup time speedup. However Cargo doesn't wait for the artifact to finish deploying before moving to the next lifecycle phase of the build, and therefore we have to resolve to checking the state of the application within our tests.
The second deploys the artifact after the container starts up, and we can specify a URL for Cargo to ping for a specified amount of time using the
pingURL and
pingTimeout elements. The Cargo documentation says that these elements can be defined in the first method as well, but testing has showed that the plugin doesn't honour these tags. Therefore, we specify our application artifact to be deployed using the second method as follows:
There are a few other matters that should be considered but are outside the scope of this post:
This shows how we can use the Cargo plugin to start a JBoss 7 instance and deploy an application artifact before we run our integration tests. We also configured Cargo in such a way that the we wait for the application to complete deployment before starting.]]>
See how to configure your Maven build to startup JBoss and run integration/acceptance tests against it.
I quite unintentionally happened to find the JBoss AS 7 distribution in the JBoss maven repository while looking for something completely unrelated.
My first thought when I found this was that given the size of the distribution (72MB) and the amazing startup times, I can very easily download the entire distribution, unpack it, and run my integration tests (using arquillian) in the unpacked container itself, without affecting to the build times too adversely. This would allow the project build to be self contained in that it doesn't have to rely on or assume the availability of a remote or local JBoss installation.
The maven artifact information for the AS 7 distribution is:
Before you proceed, make sure that you've added the JBoss maven repository to your POM or nexus repository. More details on the JBoss maven repository can be found here. Using this information, I can download and unpack the server before the integration tests are to run by including the following in my POM:
The unpacked server will be placed in

Sarah Ortmeyer – Macho Amore Roma at Istituto Svizzero di Roma
Continuing her trilogy of exhibitions on chess – at S.M.A.K. Gent, the Wittgenstein House in Vienna and the Dvir Gallery in Tel Aviv – artist Sarah Ortmeyer will display a series of portraits of women who have achieved recognition of the Grand Master or who have won the title of champion of the chess world at the Istituto Svizzero di Roma.
In front of the windows of three adjacent rooms, inside the Swiss Institute, you will find eleven paintings of the Exchequer, representing portraits of the best international players. Susan Polgar in blue (SUSAN I-V), Alexandra Kosteniuk in red (ALEXANDRA I-IV) and Natalia Pogonina (NATALIA I-III) that shines in white.
The MACHO Amore series showcases drawings that come from work Grandmasters World Champions, large-scale prints depicting the most important women players who make love with the camera (GRANDMASTER I-XII and WORLD CHAMPION I-IX).
In contrast to the previous work – in which the identity of the sports seductresses remained hidden – this current series portrays every player as a single piece, in the spirit of Destiny's Child.

From Money & Life interview with evolution biologist and futurist Elisabet Sahtouris
We are living in a huge choice era!
Think global, act local – glocal approach!
In her unique approach, called "Living Systems Design," she applies the principles of biology and evolution to organizational development so that organizations may become more functional, healthy living systems, with increased resilience, stability, and cooperation. She wrote "Earth Dance: Living Systems in Evolution."
Ecology and Economy are both household terms (Greek roots), where as economy relates to the rules of the household and ecology relates to the organization of the household. Therefore they should never be separated as they should go hand in hand.
Nature has millions of years of experience of its closed loop ecosystem. Our economics has to be adapted to that valuable non-waste, learning from the science of nature.
Elisabet demonstrates clearly how economics and financial systems can equally balance as would nature and our own body balance its evolution through constant cooperation and collaboration, sometimes competition. However that competition turns into negotiation, turning competition in friendly creativity.
Taking people and nations to the level of cooperation and collaboration is our true task in human evolution.
The internet is the largest living entity – not of a combination of computers, but of people driving the content and the collaborative dialogue and knowledge sharing.
The transition to a mature collaborative society is happening like the transformation from caterpillar to butterfly, into a total new society, going through a harsh transition (crisises and chaos).
This transition is essential, though frightening, we have the capacity to transform. Humanity will get through that evolution becoming more and more cooperative and create a new human society with different approaches to economics.
There is a lot of work, starting with unlearning and learning new ways of how we live, work and consume. Mainly the Western world needs to adapt, away from our developed mis-values and lacking education about resilience building and creativity during crisis and chaos.
Each individual has to take their responsibility up and act within that transition narrative, rolling-up your sleeves and engaging with local communities and making more use of arriving advanced technologies.
We can also learn from inventive ancient ways of how to withstand the impossible!
Even our democracy system should go back to its roots: for example choosing leaders through wisdom.
We have to create economics that serve the well-being of all people and creatures on earth, through being more pro-active and adjust our education system.
We need to go to a gifted economy using gifted currency, in which we value each other and our gifts we offer in building the new phase in humanity. We are building it but we are limited because we still deal with the debt-based economy. This is part of the Transition Narrative, but it is up to the new generations to fasten the process, using their new ways of doing things through the experience we are building today in the new socio-economic models.
We can make the Transition Narrative happen through building an economy based on motivation and our capacities, not on debt! A community owned economy based on relationships – a living system!

The Super Bowl may sometimes disappoint as a competitive game, but never as an audience grabber. Witness Seattle's 43-8 drubbing of Denver last year. Despite being a blowout, it was the fourth straight Super Bowl to draw 100 million viewers, generating a record 112.8 million.
We know the reasons for the game's appeal: The Super Bowl is a de facto national holiday celebrating the nation's most popular sport. Many viewers focus on the commercials. The halftime musical guests — Katy Perry will headline on Sunday — engage still others. As a one-day event, it is unmatched in American sports; only the Olympics can accumulate such huge audiences, but it takes the Games more than two weeks.
The N.F.L. so dominated the list of the most seen programs in the 2013-14 season that only three were not pigskin-related: the Academy Awards (45.3 million viewers), the 2014 Winter Olympics opening ceremony (33.5 million) and the Grammy Awards (30.5 million).
The league and the broadcasters who carry the Super Bowl believe there are more viewers out there, not only because of population growth, but also because some people who watch the game are not counted by Nielsen: people in bars, restaurants and offices; those at parties and clubs; and, to an increasingly important degree, fans watching on mobile devices.
What if all those viewers were included in Nielsen's calculations? Mark Lazarus, chairman of the NBC Sports Group, said the other day that he thought the number of viewers would be closer to 115 million or 120 million.
"I really believe that the number is underreported substantially," Lazarus said during a news media conference call to promote NBC's broadcast of the Seattle-New England matchup.
"If you take 120 million or so and add the parties, there's no doubt in my mind that one in every two Americans is watching the game," he said. That would be about 160 million viewers.
Not that the N.F.L. or the networks need more Super Bowl viewers. The promise of enormous viewership every year has pushed the cost of a 30-second commercial to $4.4 million.
Whether that viewership or windfall will be tempered in the future by people turning from football because of concerns over concussions or domestic violence cases cannot yet be judged.
Finding a way to measure out-of-home viewing has vexed the networks and Nielsen for more than 25 years. No perfect technology has been developed to determine how many people who are watching are not counted. Bring them in from the cold, networks have implored Nielsen.
In 1988, an ABC survey focusing on a San Francisco 49ers-Chicago Bears "Monday Night Football" game in 418 bars showed that 2.8 million viewers had gone uncounted by Nielsen. During the last two Olympics, NBC found that out-of-home viewing gave an 11 percent lift to its ratings for the 2012 Summer Games in London and a 9 percent ratings uptick for the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.
More recently, a three-month test last year by Nielsen in Chicago of people ages 25 to 54 showed that out-of-home viewing of general programming lifted ratings 7 percent to 9 percent; sports ratings got a 14 percent jump in April.
"We've been doing this for a zillion years," said Alan Wurtzel, president of research and media development for NBC Universal, who was at ABC when it measured the out-of-home "Monday Night Football" viewing.
"Nielsen has said that their methodology was designed to deal with in-home viewing, not out-of-home. The issue now is that as the medium has become more portable and the technology more personal, it isn't about people watching at the health club or bar, but on a smartphone or tablet. And we know this behavior is only increasing. It will be the new normal, and we have to account for it."
Those who are watching a game on a phone or tablet, Wurtzel said, are likely to be paying closer attention to what they're seeing than those in a crowded bar or at a party.
And everyone at every network wants that mobile consumer, and many more, to count in Nielsen's numbers.
In a statement, a Nielsen spokesman described the company's "significant and steady progress" in measuring out-of-home viewers with current technologies — like the portable people meter (a pager-like device that picks up audio signals from the television) — and in measuring viewers "wherever they may be, regardless of device and location."
If out-of-home measurement can elevate Super Bowl viewership to 120 million and beyond, it might also push the game's rating to a 50.0. The previous high of 49.1 was reached in 1982, when the 49ers beat the Cincinnati Bengals, 26-21, in Super Bowl XVI. The next highest, 48.6, came a year later, as Washington beat Miami, 27-17. The rating has stayed in the 40s ever since, except for a dip to 39.0 in 1990, when the 49ers crushed the Denver Broncos, 55-10.
Yet the growing population has pushed the Super Bowl audience from 85.2 million in 1982 to 106.5 million for the New Orleans Saints' 31-17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in 2010. That audience broke the United States viewership record of 105.9 million, set by the final episode of "M*A*S*H" in 1983.
If a ceiling for Super Bowl viewership exists, we don't know where it is. A game like Sunday's, prefaced by the saga of deflated footballs and Marshawn Lynch's bons mots, may set another record.

Today, the reply addresses judgment against divinity by created beings and living creatures. What many take to be Bible accounts of GOD punishing mankind, in fact, are sacred testimonies that report demonstrations of the divine commitment to mankind—even to the extreme of overturning death through atonement, Incarnation, forgiveness, reconciliation, resurrection, and the imparting of divine spirit content from the makeup of Deity. Those grounded in Christ are to remain vigilant against unbelievers who seek to destroy salvation from the Lord by making accusations and appeals against GOD on the basis of family feeling, kinship, and love, or human error, indignation and outrage. The fighter in the "Yahoo! Answers" forum using the ID "Donald Michael Vicks Dog" (Level 6 with 11,065 points, a member since June 06, 2015) posted the following:
Isn't the christian god great? He will let his arch enemy murder your whole family in a bet?
And give you a replacement family as a reward for not complaining?
THE GOLDEN ARROW: For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved. But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities. But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people. (Isaiah 64: 4-9, King James Version, KJV)

(06/26/2016); Called To Be Servants? (11/25/2015)
"Donald Michael Vicks Dog", just as the sacred process of judgment by divinity must address many subtleties (i.e., points of truth that display barely visible differences as well as hidden shifts in meaning, quality and value), and so may only be accomplished by an impartial, righteous, and thorough GOD, judgment against GOD requires a breadth and depth of sacred knowledge instead of secular knowledge, a comprehensive awareness of eternal purpose that generates divine action and serves as the context and focus for examining consequences and results from active presence, and the correct discernment and recognition of spirit substances (and their products) that may only be imparted through the operations of Deity. Included are awe, boldness, faith, gratitude, holiness, and wrath against sin.
The judgment of those in flesh repeatedly expresses bias, presumption, and exaggerated sentiment. Sinners who become "born again" through baptism (death, burial and resurrection of their inborn spirit) are to exist having divine DNA, so to speak, and, therefore, receive a fresh endowment of life essence (breath, spirit, Word) from the makeup of GOD. As children and offspring of GOD, developing believers share a "divine point of view" that allows them to discover, see, and more correctly display the balance, completeness, integrity, lovingkindness, restraint, and wisdom of the Creator.
Mature Christian believers (who have "mellowed" and outgrown their arrogance, defiance, and "self-righteous indignation") immediately recognize there is no victory over GOD by the Adversary recorded in the account of Job. For the account to provide authentic revelation regarding the character, makeup, and substance of divinity, Job must display the absolute dependence on GOD by all living that is not merely for life and death; it is also for access to Deity, for duration, for expectation (we say, hope), for existence, for possibilities, for unchanging value, and more. Divine grace, ownership, prerogative, and sovereign will may not be dismissed, or ignored. See with new eyes: Throughout the holy writings, it is the victory of GOD that mankind can not be overwhelmed and removed from the earth by such devices as betrayal, corruption, death, decay, hardship, lies, persecution, and tribulation. Consider again the following that uses language from the Bible:
(1.) Jeremiah 18: 3-12, King James Version (KJV): 3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. 4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. 5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel. 7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; 8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. 9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; 10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them. 11 Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good. 12 And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.
(2.) Isaiah 29: 16, KJV: 16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
(3.) Romans 9: 14-24, KJV: 14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. 15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. 17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. 18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. 19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? 20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? 21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? 22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: 23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, 24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
There is far more to be said, correctly examined, and made a part of our own developing belief. (For example, (4.) Psalms 149: 4-9, KJV: 4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation. 5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. 6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; 7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; 8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; 9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.

Last week CTV responded to a lawsuit launched by Ross Rebagliati against the network and producers of the television drama Whistler , maintaining network support for the program.
According to a statement from the shows producers and creators, the character of Beck McKaye was not modeled after Rebagliati and the similar physical resemblance between the actor playing Beck and Rebagliati were a matter of chance.
Bill Mustos, the senior vice president of dramatic programming at CTV, also confirmed network support for the show in the same prepared statement.
"CTV is fully aware of the position Mr. Rebagliati has taken against the creative team behind the CTV original series Whistler . As such, we stand 100 per cent behind the production and their comments in response to the accusations. Taking the comments one step further, CTV has never undertaken any promotional efforts whatsoever to link the series in any fashion to Mr. Rebagliati In the final analysis Mr. Rebagliati is not a factor."
Rebagliatis suit alleges that the character of Beck is modeled after him, and portrays him negatively.
The Beck character is an Olympic snowboarder who won a gold medal and lives in Whistler, just as Rebagliati is an Olympic snowboarder that won a gold medal in 1998 and lives in Whistler. There are also a number of obvious physical similarities between the Beck character, played by actor David Paetkau, and Rebagliati.
But while actual citizens of Whistler debated the lawsuit last week, there are some people who feel that the Beck character is not the only negative portrayal in the television series.
Mayor Ken Melamed confirmed he has been approached by a few citizens that are concerned by the way the town itself is portrayed in the show, with themes that include murder, blackmail and substance abuse.
"What Ive assured (residents) is that the RMOW has no say in the content of the show or on how were portrayed, that we cant prevent the show using our name, or going against our efforts to market Whistler as an exciting, positive place thats accessible to everybody," said Melamed.
"The show may be sending a message that isnt consistent with the message that were sending: that were a great place to bring the family and have a good time. This summer is a great example how magical Whistler can be, looking at the success of Crankworx and the buzz in the village."
Melamed said the producers of the show did contact the municipality, and they were allowed to look at early scripts. The RMOW made a few comments and attempted to correct some inaccuracies. As well, they voiced disappointment that the show would be shot in Langley, with some file shots of Whistler scenery, preventing viewers from seeing the real Whistler.
"The producers were not interested in how the community feels about (the show," said Melamed. "Its pretty obvious. They could have chosen any place name but chose Whistler to capitalize on the name recognition and the coming Olympics are working to their advantage, but Im not sure the benefit is reciprocal.
"But it may be, given more time. With the comments and reviews coming forward, we may have a chance to work more with the script and maybe show Whistler in a more positive light."
Tourism Whistler communications director Michelle Comeau agreed, believing the show could be a positive for the community if enough people pay attention to the footage of Whistler and recognize the plot as pure fiction.
"The fact that (Whistler) is showing the beauty to an audience that might not know anything about Whistler is definitely a positive," she said. "Some people might see the show and think thats the real Whistler, which is something well have to live with."
Comeau says she has been in contact with the show producers regarding the second season, and that it might be possible to build in more "real" Whistler content in the future. Given that its a fictional show, she adds that Whistler gets off easy shows like Las Vegas and CSI Miami are far worse when it comes to depicting those cities.
Comeau says people in Whistler are bound to be more sensitive to the way their town is portrayed, but believes the show could actually be positive in terms of garnering international recognition.
"People will recognize that the beauty shots are real, while at the same time realizing that the people and the show is fictional," she said.
CTV has also been sensitive to that distinction, recently bringing the Whistler cast to town to do actual Whistler activities while being filmed for eTalk Daily.
"The came to higYlight the fact that it is a fictional show and that there is a real Whistler and they came to Whistler and did real Whistler things like go up the mountain, do ZipTrek, and show the town in a positive way," said Comeau.

Arsenal In Talks With Robert Lewandowski's Agent
Goonersden brings you news from top football news sites from the likes of ESPN, SkySport, Daily Mail, Daily Star and Metro… We also Analyse football, player, transfer and predict Arsenal starting line-up.
Robert Lewandowski's time at Bayern Munich appears set to come to an end this summer but what remains uncertain is where the Poland international will end up.
As usual, all the top European clubs have seen their names linked with a sensational swoop for the former Borussia Dortmund star, but a more surprising team has reportedly entered the mix.
According to Spanish source Mundo Deportivo, as cited by Sport Witness, Arsenal are in talks with Lewandowski's agent, Pini Zahavi, about a summer transfer to the Emirates.
Arsenal are set to finish sixth in the Premier League for a second consecutive season and barring a miracle run in the Europa League, they are all but certain to miss out on Champions League qualification, which on paper at least, doesn't make them an attractive option for the 29-year-old who is spoken about as one of the best No.9's in the business.
In addition, the Gunners have spent in excess of £110m this season alone on two new strikers, Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, which makes their alleged interest in Lewandowski all the more surprising.
Despite their interest, it is believed there is an agreement on personal terms between Lewandowski and Real Madrid for a summer transfer, but whether they can meet Bayern's demands remains to be seen. The likes of Chelsea and Manchester United have both been linked with a move for the striker.

At the end school I was voted most photoshopped.
This is something which I never thought I'd EVER want to bring up. Not only was this soooooo embarrassing and hurtful but it heightened my insecurities massively. It pretty much summed up my school experience. Of course, it was (and still is) obvious that I edit my photos. Sometimes I narrow my square 'man' jaw. I often blur the 'old lady' lines on my neck. I whiten my teeth, I smooth my skin, I enhance my eyes. It might seem dramatic, but it has taken a lot for me to put up an unedited photo like I have included in this post.
I felt ashamed of how insecure I was of my features by being put down more for trying to fix my flaws.
I finished school 3 years ago. Now it's 2018 and you cannot scroll through Instagram without coming across FaceTuned images. It's the norm for so many girls AND boys. It is a cycle of more and more people becoming more and more insecure about the way they look because our 'beauty standards' are becoming increasingly out of reach. But why put 'normal' people down for doing what almost every celebrity or influencer does? Ok, ok. Maybe they can edit much more professionally. But images are still being distorted towards unrealistic western beauty expectations.
By editing my photos I believe this says more about the society I was brought up in than who I am as a person. I would be made fun of for my square face but also laughed at if I attempted to alter it. I can't afford plastic surgery sorry guys xo, but even if I could, people shame against plastic surgery too. You literally can't win!!! It seems like we live in a society which we are constantly looking to improve appearances, yet we are never satisfied. We always want the next thing whether this is Kylie Jenner's lips, Kim Kardashian's curves or Alexis Ren's …well… everything.
Look. It's ok to edit your photos, or not. In fact, its fucking fab to do whatever you want to do on your social media with photos of yourself. …ok maybe nothing obscene but you get my point.
You do you boo x x x

Sitting down with a delicious treat at the end of a long, hard day is one of life's most simple pleasures. Feeling zero guilt while enjoying said treat is even better.
Last week, we had a craving for something simple and delicious. With our new Dark Chocolate Wink flavor, the amazing is truly possible. We made this sundae the other week while we were craving something restaurant-worthy. The best part about this treat is that's completely guilt free! You can feel naughty while still staying on Santa's nice list.
There is more fiber and protein in this dessert than sugar, all while clocking in at under 200 calories! We guarantee you will not feel weighed down after this!
- 1 pint Dark Chocolate Wink
- 1 cup hazelnuts
- 1/4 cup raspberries
- Dark chocolate (however much you'd like!)
- Chop up those hazelnuts on a cutting board. You can also toast the nuts prior to chopping, but we skipped that
- Scoop some Dark Chocolate Wink into your fave Sundae bowl
- Add on as many hazelnuts and raspberries as you desire
- Using a microplane or a grater, grate some dark chocolate over the entire thing, making a huge mess

As long as those gas price signs display a "$4" per gallon amount, drivers are going to continue to wince.
But national gas tracker GasBuddy.com believes relief could be around the corner.
In this case, relief doesn't necessarily mean jumping out of the $4 range. But it could mean a few cents cheaper rather than more expensive.
Last week, its average per-gallon price for Chico was listed at $4.003, which was actually down from the previous week.
That doesn't seem like much help, especially when the national pricing is more in the $3 range.
Petroleum analyst Patrick DeHaan passed along this evaluation.
"While the West Coast has been particularly hard hit as unexpected outages combined with normal maintenance has led to tight gasoline inventories and skyrocketing prices, prices are about to start dropping in those hardest-hit areas first — with the usual caveat that further outages could interrupt that relief. Gas prices in California will likely drop back under $4 per gallon by the time gas stations have fully passed along the lower prices in the weeks ahead, and hopefully won't see such prices again all summer as refineries ramp up production, leading to an increase in supply."
Young professionals
Knowing that the age of Chico's business community varies, the Chico Chamber is looking at hosting a fall summit for young professionals.
Right now, the chamber is testing the water as far as possible participation and topics.
As far as a description, the chamber notes, "It will be an opportunity to connect, learn and share ideas not only with young professionals in Chico but also the north state."
The survey, available on the chamber's website, is nicely brief.
Also on the survey are preference for possible topics, such as entrepreneurship, gaining clients, negotiating a raise and business strategies, among others.
Manufacturers wanted
Northern California manufacturers are being invited to an event in October that can change the course of a student's career path.
For several years, manufacturers gather at one place — usually Chico State — to show who they are, what they do, and hiring requirements. It's a great opportunity for students, from high school and up, to see what their choices could be.
Considering the technology that's coming into play with manufacturing jobs, it's an ever-changing industry, and one that pays well.
Manufacturers that would like to participate can contact the sponsor Grow Manufacturing, at www.growmanufacturingexpo.com or contact Sabrina Marquez for more information at email@example.com. You can also call 892-9600.
While it's intended to help students understand, many of the manufacturers have job positions available then and there. If you're looking for a job in manufacturing, you might circle Oct. 3 on your calendar. Generally, there's no entrance fee for the public.
Pizza news
Woodstock's Pizza provided an update for information from last Sunday's column. Here's the info:
Our pick-up table is only available from 11 a.m.-8 p.m. each day, but delivery is available during normal hours.
The store will be closed "at least" through May. We cannot guarantee we will be open in June, and we will keep folks updated on our social channels.
Our company name is Woodstock's Pizza (with the apostrophe).
Customers can enjoy their pizza at one of our tables outside, and enjoy the ambiance of downtown Chico.
So now we all know.

Bidvest Wits loan Amr Gamal from Al Ahly
Bidvest Wits have signed Al Ahly striker Amr Gamal on a season-long loan deal, the Egyptian giants confirmed on Saturday.
The Students previously denied any interest in the frontman, but it looks like they were working tirelessly behind the scenes to lure Gamal to Braamfontein.
According to Al Ahly, Gamal will join Wits soon after their Cup game against Al-Masri Al-Borseidi on Tuesday.
Editors' Picks
This means Wits will have the opportunity to register him with the PSL before the start of their league matches next weekend.
Gamal is a highly rated striker, who scored six goals in 23 appearances for Al Ahly last season.
He will be expected to hit the ground running as soon as he lands next week.
Gamal will battle for a place in the starting line-up with the likes of James Keene and Eleazar Rogders among others.

Let's talk skincare.
Today I want to make a quick review I've meaning to do for a while. I've picked that up several months now and I've been using it a lot on and off BUT I'm nearly finished and what's a better time to review a skincare item then once you can see a bottom?
So… REN Vita Mineral Omega 3 Optimum Skin Oil – it's very often out of stock on FeelUnique site and for me it's a good sign. The product must be good if people are emptying the stock, right?
It's an oil based serum which you suppose to use after cleansing and toning but before you PM moisturizer. It supposes to hydrate, replenish, boost the skin yet calming it and improve the overall appearance of the skin – it should looks tighter, fresher and more glowy.
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Germ/ Bran Oil, Camelina Sativa Seed Oil, Rosa Canina Fruit Oil, Plukenetia Volubilis Seed Oil, Bisabolol, Parfum (Fragrance), Tocopherol, Alaria Esculenta Extract, Linalool, Limonene.
As you can see from the list it's full of all sort of oil and that's why I love it. It smell divine and my skin really enjoys it. In the morning I can see the difference. It's looks plumper. Of course I'm not talking about 3o going to 13 that won't be true and fair, and probably my family either won't see a difference, but I know why skin – every pore and pimple, every dry patch and once I see improvements it means they are there. And with a consistent use you and YOUR FAMILY will see them too.
The packaging has a pump with makes things easier and very travel friendly and it's very compact – if you are planning a sleep over this is definitely a thing you will want to take with you.
Will I repurchase it? YES.
Can I recommend it to others and Will I? YES.
Have you died something else from the REN range? I love their concept and won't to try something out. Maybe a Christmas set if I'm lucky? Hope so.

I bought their Feel Ripple and so far I was not disappointed. It really does a good job of informing me what I want to know. Been courting a girl for years now and so far, I am not yet sure if there is an attraction on her side and if my feelings are returned. I am losing hope. But because of Feel Ripple, my hope was returned back to me. – @Lorkan
There is so much to learn about Feel Ripple and their products. I have been purchasing from them for years and so far, with any gadget that I bought, I was not disappointed. They really know how to take advantage of the most advanced technology in the market on their products which really makes their customers happy. They are not like those stores that are only pure talk and cannot back up their statements and claims for great products. Here at Feel Ripple, you will never have a doubt. – @Bea
Their customer service representatives are so great. They are knowledgeable and definitely will never let you down. Been contacting them because I cannot make their product work. Good thing that they are there to the rescue immediately. They are even the one who initiated the call to assist me. They responded within the hour I sent them the email. They walked me through the process which is really very easy and very straightforward. They are very patient with me which is a really good thing because I am the first to accept that I am a very technologically challenged individual. I only bought their products because of good reviews and because I want to try it myself. Truly, dealing with this company gave me a good experience. I really wish that many people would trust them as well. It is worth it I assure you. – @Kandy

I tell myself I am retiring, tolerant, open-minded. I tell myself I can bear, with humor and goodwill, perspectives vastly different from my own. I call myself a Unitarian Universalist, which (in part) means I support the inherent worth and dignity of every person. I fumble and I fail, but I try to accept differences. I try to understand them.
Yesterday, I said aloud (to no one in particular): "I don't think I can handle another election year on Facebook." I'd just read a particularly scathing online altercation between two old friends (are they still friends today?), and I felt a little ill. What sickened me wasn't the political position of either person involved, but each combatant's utter lack of civility and respect. I was mortified for both of them. I wanted to snap my computer closed and walk away from social networking forever (or, at least until 2013).
Instead, I scanned my Google Reader, noticing that one of my favorite bloggers (Megan at SortaCrunchy) had posted a new essay titled "oh, friends. oh, elections. oh, Facebook" on the Christian blog A Deeper Story.
I immediately read her piece, and I immediately felt better.
Regardless of your religious affiliation, if you find yourself engaged in (or put off by) contentious conversations — online or in real life — I recommend you read Megan's brief essay and see what you think. I find her litmus test for online discussions ("Does it promote peace?") encouraging, and I plan to practice it myself.
There is nothing wrong with being opinionated. Believing that Lou Reed's New York is the best album ever, or that milk is disgusting, or that crewnecks look terrible on everyone … strong opinions are grounded in consideration or experience or both, and they are important.
How we share them with others is even more important.
Many thanks to Megan for a well-written post and a critical reminder. Peacemaking as a political view? Maybe I can make it through another election year, after all.
Today, I wish you steady breath through the conflict and a mouth full of kindness. Thanks, as always, for showing up.
March 6, 2012 6:30 pm
Anne, thank you so much for the kind words on my Facebook thing. Seriously, as the election heats up, I have thought SO MANY TIMES, I can't do it again this year. And you really hit the nail on the head. It's NOT that I don't want my friends to have strong opinions. Some of my best friends disagree with me VEHEMENTLY on a variety of topics. It's just – yeah. Can we please not act like jerks to each other. It's so not worth it.
Thanks for your sharing your thoughts on this. Here's to being opinionated without being hurtful!

Navigating the aged care terrain requires much more than information. Families on this journey need a listening ear, acknowledgement, and reassurance. They want to be treated as whole and competent human beings, who can make their own decisions. They need a guide to walk them through options and pitfalls, one who provides direction on opportunities unique to their specific situation and circumstances.
You do however need to ensure that the adviser you work with is a specialist in and accredited to provide advice in the area of aged care. Not all advisers are familiar with the aged care landscape and you will find that Financial Advisers in the aged care space are specialists who have developed skills, knowledge, competencies, and relationships which are of particular relevance to people looking for assistance in the area of aged care. We can't stress this enough. You won't go to your GP to do heart surgery. It's the same for aged care – you need to speak with an adviser who has a specialisation in aged care.
Here is a list of some of the things with which your financial adviser can assist you:
- Facilitate a discussion to help your family decide on aged care priorities for your loved one;
- Help you understand the range of care options and how the aged care system works;
- Outline steps to help you find and access the right care;
- Act as a central point of reference for clear and relevant information;
- Liaise and negotiate with 3rd parties (such as aged care facilities) on your behalf;
- Introduce you to other experts, who can assist with the journey. These can include layers, placements specialists, de-clutter experts, property managers, and real estate professionals;
- Help you establish how much you can afford to pay towards residential aged care;
- Establish what your actual and assessable assets and income are;
- Establish whether you qualify as a supported resident or not and help you to understand the implications;
- Calculate your Means-Tested Care Fee and help you understand aged care fees;
- Assess your cash-flow to ascertain affordability;
- Determine the financial implications of keeping or selling your home;
- Evaluate options and strategies to pay the accommodation payment;
- Evaluate options and strategies to maximise your age pension;
- Evaluate options and strategies to minimise aged care fees;
- Evaluate options and strategies that generate regular and reliable income to cover your expenses;
- Analyse and help you understand all of the interdependent variables, to identify the most suitable strategy for you;
- Help you make confident and well-informed decisions;
- Reduce and manage the stress for you and your family; and
- Help you complete and lodge Centrelink documentation.

The Queer Syllabus: The Ballad of the Sad Café by Carson McCullers
More from this author → She teaches economics and government and her favorite things include cash, wildflower, and compliments.
Rumpus original logo art by Luna Adler. A moth, or Mexican goth, managed the bookstore, and I tumbled into heavy romantic infatuation with her. The novella isn't a love story involving two people; it's a love story that truly involves a village, a village populated by folks whose genders are everything but whose genders are also so beside the point that they aren't told. You see, as a teenager, I hung out at the mall a lot and at the mall, I hung out at an Emersonian place: Walden Books. Cohen and Marisa Siegel. A rural butch wearing overalls, chambray, and a newsboy cap eclipsed his handsome presence. The beloved fears and hates the lover, and with the best of reasons. You can absolutely judge a book by its cover when a masc groomed Vanessa Redgrave tops you from it. Behind those panes, a quasi-shut-in who Sarah Schulman once described as "a pale, sickly writer from the mid-twentieth century," one "who smoked and drank herself to death by the age of fifty," both languished and thrived. At Walden's counter, I handed her a copy of Spin, opened my coin purse, and asked her name. The novella is also a horror show, a grotesque portrait of human hearts rendered in regional vernacular, and it aims a microscope at human attraction, magnifying elements many often ignore: "The beloved can… be of any description. The most outlandish people can be the stimulus for love… A most mediocre person can be the object of a love which is wild, extravagant, and beautiful as the poison lilies of the swamp."
Don't let these lines fool you into believing the novella is a celebration of love. « Previous post like this
The Queer Syllabus: The Ballad of the Sad Café by Carson McCullers
By Myriam Gurba
September 13th, 2018
The Queer Syllabus is a joint project from The Rumpus and Foglifter Press that allows writers to nominate works for a new canon of queer literature. I can't tell you who gets pushed against the ropes or how. Into wet spots I panted onto glass, I could've fingered the Southern genius's name: C-A-R-S-O-N. I also asked her the stupidest question I could think of:
"Do you like to read?"
"Obviously," she answered, and she rattled off what she was currently digging. Walden was too provincial to carry the title so I sweet-talked my dad into taking me on an hour-long pilgrimage to a soap opera: Santa Barbara. The Ballad of the Sad Café exposes romance as a perverse endeavor, as a doomed exercise in violence, and the novella takes a turn toward blood sport when butch Miss Amelia's heart is threatened by competing masculinity. A stern yet protective expression hardened her stare. There, my lonely heart hunted for The Ballad of the Sad Café and I found the paperback sitting on a shelf in a bookshop across the street from the art museum. New entries will run on Thursday, September through December, and then will be collected as a living document on the Foglifter website. The Queer Syllabus is edited by Wesley O. Yes, my favorite queer writer, my favorite American writer period, was a shriveled white lady from a Georgia mill town. As I read The Ballad of the Sad Café, it braided my sensibilities to the moth's, its Southern gothic love story dusting my nonexistent soul with weird, bittersweet pollen. The Ballad of the Sad Café is cautionary, and it warned me not to pursue the moth, not to bring her flowers, smoothies, rhinestones, or roadkill because
…the curt truth is that, in a deep secret way, the state of being beloved is intolerable to many. Share this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)
Myriam Gurba lives in Long Beach, California. They're shown. She's the author of Mean, a memoir-true crime hybrid selected as a New York Times editor's choice. For the lover is always trying to strip bare his beloved. She was the only moth in town, and I saved up my allowance in order to have an excuse to speak to Her Highness. We drove across America so that I could, like a Peeping Tom, press my face against profoundly significant literary windows and fog them with envy. It's appropriate that queer lust brought me to McCullers in the first place. ***
When I was married, I sweet-talked my white wife into making a pilgrimage with me. Among these books was one with the word sad in its title, and since I'm queer, female, and not quite white, that became the book I sought out to impress her. ***
Foglifter is a queer journal and press showcasing powerful, intersectional writing that fosters queer writers and galvanizes the queer community through literary events and programming. When we identify our roots, when we point to the work that shaped us as writers and as people, we demonstrate that our stories are timeless, essential, and important—and so are we. Its cover featured Keith Carradine in a wool fedora and red button down shirt. You'll have to read the book yourself and let it break your heart.

Manufacturing industry across the Midlands – and indeed beyond – can now gain from increased casting impregnation capacity from specialist subcontractor Midland Impregnations Ltd (MIL). The company, based in Lye near Stourbridge, has added a large capacity 'Top-Load' system to complement the smaller 'Front-Load' impregnation facility that was introduced earlier in the year. This latest development, says the company, is based on the success of the original facility and centres on a greater ability to handle far larger components in higher volume.
"The Top-Load concept is well-established in the impregnation field but we have taken this one step further by installing a facility that offers key advantages in terms of both operational and environmental performance," says Chris Arrowsmith, Director at MIL. "The investment is intended to offer impregnation capability which to date, we understand, the engineering and manufacturing sector has found difficult to dual source in the Midlands area. The installation, which uses internationally approved impregnation sealants, offers high levels of sealing performance and cleanliness in a process designed to avoid component damage."
The fully sealed vacuum and pressure impregnation chamber receives baskets suspended and lowered from an overhead transporter crane. A three-tank rinsing and curing process then ensures component loads exit the line in optimised, sealed condition.
"Each basket can accommodate loads up to one tonne in weight," adds Chris Arrowsmith. "Significantly, the process can also handle components in both an 'as cast' condition and machined condition, and is suitable for impregnating ferrous and non-ferrous castings."
The latest installation at MIL builds on the organisation's role as a source of high quality impregnation – the company can now achieve excellent sealing results almost irrespective of component size and configuration.
"Our original focus on smaller loads was centred on the latest high speed front load technology," continues Chris Arrowsmith. "While this continues to process complex machined castings, typically from the automotive sector, the new Top-Load line broadens our overall service. The new facility means we can now provide an impregnation service to all casting manufacturers and users regardless of size and volume."
The broader capability now offered by Midland Impregnations is further enhanced by its role as sister company to Midland Deburr and Finish which is well-established in the region's manufacturing sector. Because this provides a deburring and degreasing capability, using fully enclosed solvent systems with ultrasonics, there is a greater symmetry between the range of subcontracting services now available from the same source. "We also have the ability to clean and dry components ahead of the impregnation service to ensure quality is maximised," continues Chris Arrowsmith who says that customers also benefit from a fast turnaround service – within 24 hours in many cases and even on a 'while you wait' basis.
"We believe this combination of broad capability, proven technology and continued investment brings a key subcontracting capability to manufacturers and engineers across industry and signals our continuing confidence and belief in the services we are now able to offer," concludes Chris Arrowsmith.
