A little light-hearted take on family history. I love to admire someone else's creativity, because I don't have a creative bone in my body. Anyway, I do love family history and apparently, this family does too!
This blog is for anyone interested in family history, especially those who are served by the Grove Creek Multi-Stake LDS Family History Center.

MarineTraffic.com Shows Ships at Sea in Real Time
With MarineTraffic.com, you can pick your patch of sea and see who's out there right now, including naval vessels from various nations, research ships, cargo ships, tankers, and even cruise and luxury ships making way between ports of call. The site is a Google Maps mashup with common sealanes laid out in a grid that you can click on at any time to see where a certain ship at sea is located at any time.
When I drive by one of the cities near me, the highway runs right past the docks, so I get to see a lot of the cargo ships and naval vessels that are docked and in-port for a while. Some of them stay for weeks or months while others are only around for a few days, but all of them get me curious about what their names are and where they're from.
With MarineTraffic.com, and I can visit my city on a Google Map, zoom in on the docks, and see which boats are docked, the flag they sail under, what types of ships they are, and more. MarineTraffic.com even shows me whether the ship is docked or underway, and where the ship is headed if they're already out to sea. The service even shows me the dimensions of the ship I'm looking at.
MarineTraffic.com refreshes every 100 seconds with updated vessel positions and information If a new ship has entered the range of your search area, you'll see information about it, and since the service is built on top of Google Maps, you have all of the features any Google Map has to offer. Hover over the map to and you can mousewheel zoom in and out on a particular area, and you can use the smaller map in the lower right corner of the screen to click and drag the viewable area around.
You can also filter the items displayed on the map so you can see everything, only passenger ships, only cargo vessels, tankers, high-speed craft, yachts and other private boats, buoys and navigation aides, and even unspecified ships where the service has no information (these are usually military or naval vessels). You can also choose to show ship names right under the ships and mark ports and other naval stations on the map.
MarineTraffic.com also has tabs across the top of the page you can click to see all vessels the site has in its database at one time, along with their direction, type, speed, course, destination, and ETA. You can also see similar information on all of the ports of call listed in the site's database, and see photos of ships that users have uploaded.
The site is a collaborative project of universities around the world, non-profit weather and meteorological organizations, and a variety of boating and shipping enthusiasts who help collect the data on ship positions. If you're looking to sail the high seas without leaving your desk, you can take a trip around the world with MarineTraffic.com.

The regional organizations (APT,
Arab Group,
RCC will hold preparatory meetings
for WTSA-08 between May and September 2008 with the aim to coordinate regional views on issues considered
to be of particular relevance to the each region, and develop common regional proposals for submission to WTSA-08.
Participation in these meetings will be in accordance with the internal procedures of each regional organisation.
In addition, ITU will organise in cooperation with CITEL and ATU, regional preparatory meetings for the
Americas and Africa respectively. Participation in these meetings will be restricted to ITU Member States
and Sector Members belonging to the region, and representatives of other regional organisations.
To assist with these preparations, in association with one regional preparatory meeting in each region
ITU will hold a Regional Development Forum on bridging the standardization gap between developed and
developing countries. The Forums are aimed at encouraging greater understanding of, and participation in,
the work of ITU-T. They will explain the status of the current hot topics under discussion in ITU-T, and how
to become involved in ITU-T activities in order to champion the interests of each region in the development
of international ICT standards.
The Forums are intended for executives from Administrations, National Regulatory Bodies, Telecommunication
Operators, Manufacturer and Service Providers in the regions, who need to be familiar with the future
challenges ITU is facing and, therefore, be able to draw up strategies to achieve greater participation
in ITU activities, in particular ITU-T and ITU-D Study Groups activities. Additionally, they will highlight
ways and means to enhance cooperation and participation in ITU's standardization work and standards
implementation in the regions. Standards are an essential tool in bridging the digital divide and bring
vital aid to developing countries in building their infrastructure and encouraging economic development.
Taking part in the standardization process for new technologies will accelerate the deployment
of new networks and services bringing connectivity to cities and towns as well as remote areas. With
next generation networks (NGN) for example, standards work is lowering the capital cost of deployment
in the network core. Operating costs in NGN are also significantly lower than in circuit switched
technologies enabling a more rapid expansion of network capabilities. NGN offers the opportunity
for developing countries to jump several generations of technology, and ITU as well as taking into
account the needs of these countries in producing its standards will seek to provide assistance in implementing them.

You are here: Home ‹ Board index ‹ Movie Discussion ‹ All Other/Older Movies ‹ (2010) I Love You Phillip Morris
I Love You, Philip Morris POSTER
Discuss this movie. Filmed April 29-June 30, 2008
Available on DVD and Blu-ray.
I Love You, Philip Morris POSTER
The Filmfestival of Cannes has started and besides new banners and posters of movies for this summer (and winter), there was one glimp at a movie that is far away. Seems that from now on we'll have to use the ♥ in the title, don't we?
I think it's a bit uninspired, but on the other hand it has something funny like that poster for "The 40 Year Old Virgin" has. Afterall, below the poster there's "In Production", so all of this can change.
* Can't use the ♥ in topic-title?
* It's a funny thing ... a poster for Morris, but not for "Yes Man" ...
It's so charmingly normal i really like it... .....it's what i was hoping for......a movie about love, irrespective of gender.....It's lost the stereotyped gay angst image we usually get in movies.....that cuddle looks really cute and tender...... I WANT ONE!!!!!!!
I was at an Anne Murray concert r yesterday....
Excellent show by the way,
and I think it would be tasteful to have
the couple go to an Anne Murray concert.
I think that's what a "Couple" would do.
Is it just me or does anyone else not really like Jim's hair like this? I like it out and not slicked back... I mean I did like the look in Once Bitten but not really now. I think he'd look really good with the hair from like bruce almighty or 23 (when he's not fingerling)
I like his hair at the....
wax museum. They can do anything with hair nowadays.
He's in character whatever the costume/makeup artists decide, that's what will be.
Remember if this is based on a true story, what does the real Phillip Morris look like? and what are the clothes that he would wear. What type of music did/does he really listen to?
I wonder.
Is the one that keeps escaping from jail...
still in jail? If this is a true story.
Will he get to see the premier?
That's a long time...
Did he get them all tacked on because of his escapes or was what he did really serious?
I think it could be an internal survival mode...
to be free, too bad he couldn't work out his parole another way.
The system is quite uncreative.
This guy sounds pretty intelligent, too bad they couldn't use his intelligence to get the really bad guys, terrorists etc.

As a fan of space exploration, you will have to love this birthday card from Chop Shop. An overly technical acknowledgment of someone's birthday by defining exactly what it is. One additional complete orbital period moving around the sun. Even better, they design is beautifully letterpress printed both front and inside.
Above reveals the inside text — which plays it a little more safe with the messaging.

I've heard of this happening on rare occasions before, including to our own Nick Arnott a couple times while tethered to Xcode, but this is the first time I've seen the iOS 7 blue screen of death captured on video in the wild. It's rare, but given the history of the BSOD, it's also glorious. Bradley Miller grabbed the Vine:
Anyone else seen it?
