So you try to make a movie that adults can see on one level, and kids can see on another."''²²Joseph James Dante Jr. (born November 28, 1946) is a film director known for a string of cult 1980s sci-fi/fantasy films that oftentimes ran on pure [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs crazy moon-logic]].²²Dante's work is notable for the strong affection he has for [[AuthorAppeal '40s and '50s horror movies]] (''Film/{{Matinee}}'' is a love letter to Creator/WilliamCastle, for example), and his taste for black comedy and political commentary. He first got attention for ''The Movie Orgy'', a seven-hour-long collection of weird film clips, ads and trailers that Dante still curates and screens around the United States. After a few smaller successes, he directed ''Film/{{Gremlins}}'', which launched a long, contentious relationship with Hollywood, which didn't seem to understand that Dante had [[StrawmanPolitical a few axes to grind]], especially with the political climate celebrating the '50s as a happy Golden Age and the suburbs as a great place to be. With [[Series/MastersOfHorror a few exceptions]], though, he's relatively subtle about his opinions.²²Actually probably better known to people of a certain age for ''Series/EerieIndiana'' than for his movies; he was an executive producer and directed five episodes.

Review of sexual consent laws: Should the law be changed to require an "enthusiastic yes"?
In May 2018 the NSW Attorney General asked the Law Reform Commission to undertake a review of sexual consent laws to determine if the law needs to be amended. Carolyn Simpson, the second woman ever appointed to the NSW Supreme Court has been appointed to lead the review.
The review follows the high-profile case of Luke Lazarus, who was accused of raping a woman in an alleyway behind his father's nightclub in Kings Cross in 2013. Mr Lazarus was charged with sexual assault, and in 2015 was found guilty after trial. After a successful appeal to the NSW Court of Criminal Appeal, his matter returned to the District Court for re-trial in 2017.
At trial it was not disputed that the complainant had not consented to the sexual intercourse. The issue in the case was whether or not Mr Lazarus knew that she was not consenting. Ultimately the judge hearing the re-trial ruled that Mr Lazarus had reasonable grounds to believe that the complainant had consented to the sexual intercourse because she had not asked him to stop and "did not take any physical action to move away." Accordingly, Mr Lazarus was acquitted.
Following the acquittal, the DPP filed a further appeal to the NSW Court of Criminal Appeal. The Court found that the trial judge failed to properly consider whether Mr Lazarus took any steps to ascertain whether the complainant was consenting, however ultimately ruled that it was not in the interests of justice to order that Mr Lazarus stand trial for a third time.
What does the law currently say?
To be found guilty of sexual assault, the jury must be satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that:
- the accused had sexual intercourse with the victim
- that sexual intercourse occurred without the victim's consent
- the accused either knew that the victim was not consenting to the sexual intercourse, or was reckless as to whether or not the victim was consenting.
What will the review be looking at?
The review will be focusing on the legal concepts of consent and knowledge of consent.
In NSW, the law currently states that a person consents to sexual intercourse if the person freely and voluntarily agrees to the sexual intercourse. Knowledge of consent has a broad definition which includes actual knowledge, recklessness, or having 'no reasonable grounds for believing' that there was no consent.
It is understood that the review will be looking at other jurisdictions including Tasmania and Victoria. In Tasmania, a person does not consent if they do not 'say or do anything to communicate consent'. In Victoria, a person does not consent if they do not 'say or do anything to indicate consent'. In other words, in both Tasmania and Victoria, positive consent is required.
What do you think? Should the law should be changed to require an "enthusiastic yes"?

I want R. Gay on this team and I'm not even talking about Rudy
Posted by Arsenalist on January 4, 2008
Hear me out, just don't flip at the thought of having one of the slimiest players to have ever played be on your team. Just listen. For a second ignore the gayness, ignore the sliminess, ignore the voice, ignore the face and just concentrate on his game. Yeah, I think Richard Jefferson would be a pretty good fit for the Raptors. I've since Day 1 thought that here's a player that is an out and out scorer, a pretty good defender, runs the break extremely well and can finish in traffic. He's a good shooter, an excellent slasher and doesn't settle for jumpers and believe it or not, if you've seen him play you know he's got a high basketball IQ.
Let's look at his stats for a second. He's a career 17 PPG scorer (24.5 this year) and has always shot the ball well at 47.6% for his career and is also a good FT shooter (77.8%). He's rebounding at a 5.5 clip and although he's not a exactly a distributor at 3 APG he's got the vision to find the open man when need be. In NJ Jason Kidd exclusive handles the ball and doesn't leave many assists for his brethren. Finally, the man has an average salary of 13.5M with the contract expiring in 2010/11. As a bonus the man gets to the FT line better than most at his position. Not an unreasonable one by any standard. He's currently in the prime of his NBA career and will be there for the next few years. New Jersey's shown some signs that they're willing to blow it all up and if the Raptors have the ability they should at least offer an ear or even insist upon it.
RJ would play an effective small forward in Sam Mitchell's system of not having a system. He would thrive in an environment where he can go one-on-one to the rim anytime he wants and can feed off the inside presence of Chris Bosh. If you look at the Raptors right now, off a drive 'n kick we almost exclusive shoot the jumper. Just ask AP, Kapono, Delfino and Moon who opt for the springer about 80% of the time. Once the PG has created a shot opportunity for us on the perimeter, we generally simply take it instead of searching for a better one. A player like Jefferson who can attack the rim at will and finish with confidence and accuracy is someone that can open up our offense to the point where we don't go through long droughts as has become our nature. Plus, he's the kind of player that can truly create his own own shot and can move well without the ball. His slashing and finishing ability is something Bosh will appreciate. A cutter to the rim is usually missing on Bosh doubles with Humphries being the only guy who's willing to consistently come across and accept the pass in the paint.
It's become crystal clear that Bargnani will need at least a couple more years to realize about 70% of his potential and that has left the team in a bit of limbo. Not knowing whether to wait on him or get a real second scorer right now is a catch-22 situation, you don't want to be a mediocre team for too long but at the same time you don't want to tie up your cap. Jefferson's a player who will always have good trade value barring injury because of the type of player he is and what he brings to each offensive possession, so we don't need to worry about wasting cap space with him. Let's face it, Jamario Moon is at best a band-aid for the starting three spot and if we have any hopes of contending (second round win), we'll need to upgrade that spot. He's playing way too many minutes for his talent level and we need to at least give 40% of his minutes to someone who can be an offensive threat.
Now I know what you're thinking, why Jefferson? No particular reason, I just think that he's a pretty damn good player who has always been under the radar (insert joke here) because of who he plays with and his personality. Players like Mickael Pietrus and Andris Biedrins might also be great fits but I chose to focus this post on a player who's always been hated on for various reasons not even counting last year's playoff series.
Tonight's Game
I'm going to the game tonight against the Pistons, should be a great one and a win tonight would speak volumes. During the season you don't get many chances to make statements but tonight is different. See, we got our ass handed to us by Boston and Detroit beat Boston in Boston so if we beat Detroit, by some weird mathematical transitivity we might be better than both Boston and Detroit, huh?
The Wallace vs. Bosh matchup should be fun to watch, 'Sheed likes to keep it outside and when he does come inside he's got that unblockable fade which Bosh will have trouble with. I'd say the strategy here is to keep him on the outside and live with his shooting. I get a feeling unless Sam draws up some help schemes for Calderon, Chauncey Billups might just go off. Richard Hamilton's always played so-so against us so I'm not too worried there. The other matchup that I'm anticipating is Tayshaun Prince on Andrea Bargnani, I know they play different positions but the size and strength here are probably even and worth a look if I'm the Pistons. Oh yeah and rebounding, everybody's got to hit the glass. Everybody. Including me.
Game recap later. If you're in the mood to buy some nice Raptors shit, check it. Easy.

What the hell am I reading in my RSS feed? RGay man?? You're probably right about him being a good player and all that but even if he's the second coming of MJ I don't want him near the Raps. (** Fearful Bargnani might flip **)
Game tonight is huge. I'll be there too. Raps win 86-82. AP goes off.
January 4, 2008 at 10:39 am
Don't forget about Delfino tonight. It's time to exact some revenge on a franchise that treated him like Dewey Cox's father treated him.
January 4, 2008 at 12:37 pm
Good 'ol Dinosty, always ready with a joke.
January 5, 2008 at 11:39 am
RJ is, arguably, NJ's most valuable piece… except for 4 years left on a $54 million contract. A screed like this is pointless… without REALISTIC trade scenarios. That's why Bill Simmons is the "millionaire's Arsenalist".
January 5, 2008 at 12:02 pm
^^ You're right. I could come up with a few trade scenarios but Rod Thorn would be insane to do them and the ones he would do involve Calderon. Unless there's a third team of course but it's just not going to happen.
January 5, 2008 at 2:24 pm
nice dinosty, lol. rj would be a nice fit, but i'm actually holding out for pietrus.
welcome back man! we got bidness to take care of ;)

Sunday, March 20th promised a unique opportunity for members of the Guardians of Justice to partake in some crafty fun. WeSpeak for Them and Sydney the Therapy dog hosted an open-house style party and invited our members to join!
The festivities took place at the "Read to Sydney" store-front located inside of the West Oaks Mall. Since we were directly across from the Mall's Easter Bunny he hopped on over throughout the afternoon to participate.
Sydney brought her four-legged friend Toby along to visit with the children. They roamed the store-front ensuring everyone was greeted and Toby handed out a few doggy-kisses. Sydney is a registered therapy dog who helps children read one "tail" at a time.
Because dogs are not judgmental the children she visits feel more comfortable reading aloud. They might have problems pronouncing words or just read at a slower pace. Sydney will patiently sit or lay next to them…content to listen as only a dog can.
Sydney's handler Thom Battisto was on hand to answer questions about his humane education program and show off their book "Sydney Finds a Job." In the book Thom and his volunteers explore humorous situations in which Sydney attempts to find a job until, ultimately, she finds her perfect fit –helping children learn to read.
While adults and children read from the store's library (all available for purchase!) others sat at the crafting table to make super hero masks. Kylo Ren was on hand to assist –although his masks ended up being colored only black and red.
Derek especially loved having Kylo around. He showed off his prized possession (a scale tie fighter) and drew an empire themed mural of tie fighters and death stars on the table.
Tinkerbell had many fans at the event, including a few precious little girls who ran from halfway across the mall for a pixie hug.
One special little girl that Tink had the pleasure to meet was Katelyn. She brought her own superhero mask with her! The adorable purple mask was decorated with glitter paints and feathers. Tink said they reminded her of the fluffy stuff in Pixie Hollow.
It's a little known secret that deadly assassin Black Widow absolutely loves to color so she happily sat down with the children and colored away at the superhero themed pages on hand.
Later in the day as everyone posed for a group photograph Rogue tried her luck at being a doggie-wrangler, and managed to get a wiggly Toby to sit still for a photo. Sydney preferred to turn wrong-end facing the camera and smile at everyone.
As the party wrapped up everyone agreed. Reading to Sydney is a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

Sloane Stephens should definitely be a candidate for Comeback Athlete of the Year.
Stephens defeated Venus Williams on Thursday to advance to the U.S. Open final, which is impressive enough. It's even more impressive considering Stephens was knocked out of the first round of Wimbledon just two months ago.

This is the last of my posts on the intensive study of the marbles conducted in early June (at least for now!). In addition to polychromy, we did something that was never before done at the museum (and probably never will be done again): gamma radiography! Two of our marble sculptures (Bacchus and Hercules) posed questions that could only be answered by radiography. We tried x-rays, which we can do in our conservation lab, but these were not strong enough to allow us to see through the marble. We had to go for industrial strength radiography which uses gamma rays. Baker Testing (the company who worked on the Juno at the MFA Boston) did this for us.
Gamma radiography is radioactive, so we had to find a room at the museum that had thick concrete walls and was away from work areas. We did find one, underground, off the art tunnel. We restricted tunnel access to team members and we stayed well clear of the radiography area—all of us geeky enough to know that Bruce Banner turned into the Hulk after being exposed to the rays of a gamma bomb. (None of us wanted to turn green and Kermit the Frog will tell you' it's not easy being green!) The radiation zone was actually quite small (we checked with the Geiger counter). The radioactive source was contained in a small Ghostbusters-like unit to which was attached a collimator that focused the beam on the part of the sculpture that needed to be studied. A plate just like those used in x-rays was placed behind the limb to record the information.
We spent the whole day with the guys from Baker Testing, checking the radiographs after they scanned them into their computer, discussing what we were seeing, asking for shots at different angles or more penetration. At the end of the day, Hercules did not turn into Hulk-cules (I have been wanting to say this for weeks!), but while some questions were answered with the gamma, others remain for Mark to puzzle out. The knowledge acquired from those gamma radiographs will help us with the conservation of Bacchus, a major project to be undertaken over the next few years. We could see the rather long metal pins and c-clamps we knew would be holding him together, but we also realized that he suffered a major catastrophic incident that shattered his right side—this resulted in more pins, pegs, clamps, which we could not have seen without the gamma.

"…A comprehensive introduction to meditation and very easy to follow. A friendly, pleasurable experience. Mehul and Miti are wonderful yoga teachers."
Liza Timms
Under normal circumstances our minds are generating a constant stream of thoughts, usually reflecting our innermost concerns – worries about our health, our finances, our relationships, about what will happen in the future, or having some regrets about some aspect of our past, etc. The Buddhists liken this chatter in our mind to that of drunken monkeys! Emerged in this chatter, we forget to live in and appreciate the present moment.
The goal of meditation is to gain control over our minds so that we can experience our true nature and gain access to the source of peace, contentment and bliss that resides within all of us.
In the workshop we will spend a little bit of time providing a background to what we mean by meditation, but most of the workshop will be practical. We will look at different techniques to help us with our meditation practice, such as: mindfulness, affirmations, visualisation, chanting (Mantra Yoga). We shall also be offering gentle hatha yoga, suitable for all participants, including beginners.
All our workshops are informative and fun, where you are encouraged to learn and participate in a warm and friendly environment.
Regular practice of meditation can help us to:
- Overcome Stress
- Reduce Anxiety
- Improve Concentration, Memory and Mental Stamina
- Strengthen our Immune System
- Become Calmer
- Reduce the impact of Medical Conditions
- Feel Happier
- Increase our sense of Inner Peace
Some Attendee Feedback…
"..Excellent.. Complex topics presented in a very simple way that enables them to be relevant to everyday life. A great motivation for using the skills, techniques and understanding taught to enhance my life… Thanks for the time and energy you have both put into making the workshop enjoyable and extremely helpful.. The warmth and care that radiates out from you both is a pleasure and delight to be around."
Christine Edwards
"Very well planned and delivered with real feeling and enthusiasm, with no personal agenda but a sense that you are sharing this out of a desire to let others benefit from what you have discovered…Today's workshop gave me so much food for thought. It helped structure and formalize things I already knew on some level, but now I have practical strategies on how I can tap into these ideas about finding calm, peace and wisdom on a daily basis.

Raymond van Barneveld remains hopeful of recapturing his best form in the final four months of his illustrious 32-year career.
The legendary five-time World Champion is building up to one more attempt at winning a sixth world title at the 2019/20 World Championship, after which he will retire from the sport.
Speaking to former world number one Rod Harrington, Van Barneveld revisited the reasons behind his decision to call it a day.
"When I play in exhibitions I feel relaxed with the crowd and want to show them what I can do - I want that Barney back," said Van Barneveld.
"But it's not been happening for three or four years and you need to be honest with yourself.
"When I was the best player in the world I beat Phil [Taylor] in the final and I let everyone know I was the best player in the world.
"Now, I'm realistic and I know I'm not the best player in the world anymore.
"I'm 52-years-old, I would've played on until 55 but my time has come."
Since announcing his intention to retire in November 2018, the ten-time PDC televised event winner has endured a mainly difficult time on the circuit, including an early-elimination from the Premier League for the first time.
Speaking in the midst of his final World Series of Darts tour in Australia and New Zealand, Van Barneveld paid homage to the continued support of the 'Barney Army.'
"The crowd is always fantastic, they love me and they call my name everywhere I go. I will never, ever forget that," the Dutchman continued.
"But the thing is you want to win things, you want to lift trophies - that's what I did in the past and that's still what I want to do.
"When you haven't won things for three to four years it gets in your system; you start to worry more, you doubt yourself and you don't want that life anymore.
"I'm a winner, the same as Phil Taylor, the same as Michael van Gerwen, I hate losing and for the last few years I don't win any competitions anymore."
Following the NZ Darts Masters, the final leg on the World Series tour Down Under, Van Barneveld still has a chance to qualify for the World Grand Prix.
The Dutch legend will then look ahead to competing in the Netherlands for one final time at the World Series of Darts Finals in Amsterdam in November, before attention turns to what is sure to be an emotional final World Championship appearance.
"I'm just going to keep practicing and hopefully one day it will be there," Van Barneveld added.
"I've only got four months left so hopefully it will be there soon.
"After I retire I'm going to stick to the exhibition circuit and I'm pretty sure I will always be in the darts world."

What is Android Safe Mode?
Safe Mode is a special mode for this boot in Android devices that only loads the services and basic applications in the initial configuration (as for instance in / system), and turns off the custom settings and all the other apps installed from user via the Play Store (which of course will not be lost and will be reloaded after restarting).
It is a hidden feature, originally intended for developers; it can sometimes prove very useful to resolve any issues related to app third party.
What is it?
In the event that an Android device (smartphone or tablet) is not working correctly, the safe mode can help you solve them without having to reset the device.
How to get into Safe Mode Android
The procedure to get into Safe Mode is not the same for all devices, and there are different situations:
If your Smartphone is started:
Nexus and Android stock
Smartphones and tablet Nexus (as well as all devices Stock Android or Google Play edition ) adopt a system of access to simple safe mode. It will be sufficient hold for a few seconds on the physical button on and off and when the window appears to turn off, press for a few seconds to choose "Shut Down." Will appear at this point a new window with a warning asking whether to restart the device in safe mode.
Some other manufacturers devices (Samsung, LG, Motorola, etc …), should allow access to safe mode in the same manner just views for Nexus devices. If these do not work, or the device does not start, follow the instructions further down, broken out by brand of your smartphone or tablet.
Safe mode will be signaled by a written semitransparent bottom left of the screen. In some cases instead of Safe Mode may appear the words Safe Mode (Safe mode).
To exit safe mode simply restart your phone.
If your smartphone does not start:
If the method previously seen for Android systems stock does not work, or the device does not start, follow the instructions according to your device brand:
Nexus and Android stock
- Switch off your device
- Turn on the device using the On / Off button.
- Immediately after turning on hold the Volume Down button until the unlock screen appears.
For most of the SAMSUNG devices:
- Turn off the device.
- Turn on the device using the On / Off button.
- Immediately after turning on hold the Volume Down button until the unlock screen appears.
Note: For some models such as the Galaxy S4, in the case the above procedure does not work, try the following:
- Turn off the device.
- Turn on the device normally through the side button.
- During startup, press and continuously release the menu button (left soft touch) until the appearance of the main phone screen.
With LG smartphones the first road to follow is the one described for Nexus devices. If that does not work, you will need to proceed in this way. After turning off the device and waited a few dozen seconds, turn it back on by holding down the power button and the VOLUME DOWN button. When the LG logo appeared, you can leave the power button but not the volume: after entering the safe mode, you can also release the volume key.
For Motorola devices turn the indications given for devices Android stock. If these do not work, turn off the device and wait a few seconds. Turn your smartphone or tablet by pressing and holding the Menu button (if present, in addition to the power button) until the device will not be started.
HTC same thing: if the steps of the Nexus devices do not work, you will need to be turned off and after waiting a few seconds (a few dozen), you can turn it back on while holding down the Volume Down button until you start.
Some models of smartphones or tablet, however, to go into safe mode using a different procedure:
- Turn off the device
- Turn holding the "Power" button.
- Soon you will see the logo of your device (the first short screen), hold down both the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons until you find yourself in Safe Mode.
In all cases, to exit safe mode simply restart your phone.Tags: Safe mode Android

Standing in front of the jumbo tv in downtown West Palm Beach, it was as though the cool temperature suddenly rose a few degrees. The blustery winds seemed to calm. The collective pulse of the crowd steadied.
Today was glorious. There is a lot of journalistic junk food – dress reviews, celebrity spotings, dance moves – that you could get fat on, but let's not. Let's hope that we remember the little things – for me, it was the smile on the young girl's face as she sat on her father's shoulders, and the little tap dance in my heart after President Obama said, "On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics." I hope that everyone – regardless of color, political affiliation, religious belief, preference for automatic or stick shift – let today remind them of how lucky we are to be Americans.
Watch and read President Obama's entire speech here.

Often underestimated in favour of Ooty, the more popular hillstation, Kodaikanal is still untouched by hoards of tourists. While there's been enough to make it a big town, the charm of the hills, misty mornings, evening boat rides and old-world vibes are still strong here. Channelling those countryside feels, are these homestays. From luxury English cottages to more trendy houses, here's where you can check into for a true sense of Kodai.
Magical, Luxury Or Budget: 10 Homestays To Check Into When In Kodaikanal
LBB' Loving
Misty Cove
Readers' Vote
Dalethorpe Homestay
Nestled amidst pine groves, eucalyptus trees and rocks, Dalethorpe is a secret we were loath to give away. A typical English bungalow, the home is built from rock, and there are two rooms in the main house. We particularly love the heritage cottage, however, that is hidden behind a hillock, further away from the main quarters. And the estate grounds are massive, so you can actually hideaway without once leaving the property. More so since they have delicious home-cooked meals on offer. And hookah!
Misty Cove
Mystical, luxurious and sheer indulgence, it's hard to take me away from the 75-year-old Misty Cove. Set on lush, manicured lawns, overlooking the gorgeous lake, four cottages, each with two massive rooms, make up Misty Cove. Throw in a fireplace, stone walls and you've got yourself an English countryside home. But what's great is that inside, the beds, bathroom and even televisions are up-to-date. Looking onto the lake from your private verandah may take up most of your day, but who's complaining.
Serenita Homestay
A cottage-style B&B, the Serenita Homestay wins approval and applause for location — on the hillside with the entire valley for a view! The owners {a charming family of four} will instantly understand why you've escaped the hustle bustle of the city because that is exactly what they did, from all the way from Mumbai. Settle into your fairytale that gives you a secluded spot with a comfy bed, bath and kitchenette. But there's a fabulous chef in-house, who'll whip up everything from Indian and Continental to Sichuan and sandwiches. At night, just take your chair and look at the twinkling lights in the valley, and then for a treat for city folk, just look at the starry skies.
Atman Homestay
Right on the banks of a little stream, this one is homely and spacious. And by homely, I don't mean simple. It exudes warmth, and when you check in, you'll see it's exactly like you're living in a lovely house. There's a large drawing room to unwind in, a chic dining area and rooms with spectacular views. The owners are happy to chat with you and give you touristy tips. And they're equally happy to just leave you be. I'd go back for the bay windows in the rooms, and the rejuvenating rain showers in the bathroom. Oh, plus the fresh breakfast that ranges from dosas and chole bhatura to tuna sandwiches and eggs to order.
Villa Lakeside
A charming homestay from which you can practically wade into the lade, this one is all about old-world charm. The cottage has three rooms and it's great for even groups of 6-8 to unwind at. In winter, make sure to get a fire going and in summer, lounge in the lovely garden, and bask in the sun, but still with a nip in the air.
Lofty Meadows
A restored English bungalow, Lofty Meadows will ensure you check into pages of history. Period furniture, wooden architecture and flooring, expect to be pampered with rooms as large as city apartments, and a garden that will make you never want to leave. Oh, and did we mention they have amazing traditional meals here. Sign us up already!
Villa Rose Homestay
Slightly conservative in that they don't allow alcohol or smoking {but hey, to each his own, right?}, Villa Rose will sort you out with three fully- equipped bedrooms, and a view that you couldn't even imagine. If you're an early riser, head off to the garden balcony armed with a cup of tea {or coffee, we don't judge} as the mist slowly rises with the sun. It's magical, apparently.
Rhythms Cottage
Looking for comfort and location over luxury? Pick this cutesy little cottage that's just 2 kilometres from the lake. With a garden to lounge in, there are two rooms on offer – one that even opens onto the garden. While it's simple, the set menu for breakfast is great. And at just INR 3,500 for up to six guests, this is a real bargain.
Kodai Lake Cottage
A stone's throw from the lake, this one is cosy, wooden and just out of an Enid Blyton book. Ideal for a group of six to 10, there are three large bedrooms and if you're up for some cooking, then the kitchen is also open to you. A proper getaway, especially if privacy is your priority.
Dream Homestay
Two very English cottages made of stone are part of the Dream Homestay property, each with four rooms – perfect for families, large groups of friends or even an informal off-site with colleagues. There's also a single-room cottage if you're planning a honeymoon-esque getaway. Set on a hill, the views from the garden are magnificent. Make sure to catch a sunrise and sunset when here, with a cup of tea in hand.

been executed at the broker.
The synchronous auto trading mode ensures avoiding discrepancies between the market position on the chart and the market
position at the broker. The following conditions must be met in order for the synchronous auto trading mode to work properly:
1. The same symbol cannot be traded from more than one chart. Trading the same symbol from two or more charts
will cause a market position conflict between the charts.
2. The market position at the broker must be 0 at the time when auto trading is launched.
3. A trader must not trade the symbol directly through the brokers platform while trading the same symbol through
MultiCharts platform.[/LEFT]

Professional How Do, Wire A Three, Light Switch Collections - Why do i ask to sign in to ask a question? Nicely simple clearly. One, i need to make sure you are real and that you do get my solution. Seems fair to me. And yes your records is very secure with me. Mr. Dominick, i apprehend the primary wiring for a 3-manner transfer and your video enables to enhance my understanding. My wife asked me to install new led furniture within the hallway. One is on a separate 2-way transfer (works excellent) and the alternative is hooked up to three-way switches. But, i appear to be getting residual/inductive current; the fixture glows when switched-off. The electricity seems to be entering the mild and walking into the switches. I'm able to't appear to segregate the residual current to hold the light from glowing. Any thoughts?.
Hi george, properly without the right testing of the wires to look what's what it's absolutely tough for me over the net to help you. However watch my three way and 4 manner switch videos. I'm they will be a big help. Ok so im just converting switches with new ones. Did it one twine at a time so i didnt get wires combined up. Didnt work. I found your video. Massive help. Now i see what my problem is. I have a 2 twine and a three cord within the first field such as you said. Black and white coming in. Black white and purple going to the other field. However no different wires going to the light? In the first field they have got the incoming white and outgoing purple together? Incoming black to black screw. Outgoing black and white as jumpers? How does that work? Simplest issue i can think about is they both have a junction field inside the attic or it works off the light one way or the other. I just had surgical procedure so i cant get my ladder out to appearance. Any ideas?.
That is a super idea for a video. As quickly as i can i make one. Thank you to your enter. The very best manner to do what you want might be to put in a faraway manage within the mild. In any other case you'll ought to run a new wire from the transfer to the light with a more warm, known as a /3 twine.

This is probably the most boring article I've written for LensRentals. (Personally, I like the Smashed Front Element thing the best.) But, I love a good mystery, and I love debunking DSLR "urban legends". Every so often I run across an online forum where someone makes broad statements about Error 99 which I know are incorrect or at least incomplete. As is my practice, I've boldly charged into these online gunfights devoid of intellectual ammunition (i.e. facts). And predictably, the intellectual level of the discussions quickly spirals down from "Is not", "Is so" into the traditional online-forum sign-offs of "You get Err99 because you're a bad photographer" and "if you've never gotten Err99 you're obviously not taking many pictures". Because Canon Corporate apparently believes that releasing no information about a problem makes it go away, there is little factual information to debunk the online myths regarding Err99 unless you really do a lot of digging. Googling Err99, Canon EOS error codes, etc. brings up several dozen pages of links most of which are the above mentioned "discussions". There are a few nuggets of truth out there, though. The most complete of these is a multi-year 2,300 post discussion of Err99 problems at Richard's Notes. There are also a few thoughtful and factual discussions that have taken place in some of the better forums online. After spending far more hours than I intended looking through these sources to settle an online debate, I thought I'd write a summary of what I found and what we've experienced here-- LensRentals has 700 Canon lenses and 50 Canon bodies, so we have a bit of Err99 experience. The Myths Some of the most common Err99 myths are listed below. Strictly speaking, they are not myths; almost every one is true. The myth part comes from thinking that any one of them is actually *the* cause of Err99. So: Err99 results from an electronic communication problem between the lens and the camera. Err99 results from using third-party (i.e. Sigma, Tamron, Tokina) lenses. Err99 means that electronic circuitry in the lens has failed. Err99 means that electronic circuitry in the camera has failed. Err99 results from using third party batteries.
Err99 is a firmware issue, and can be fixed by upgrading to the latest firmware.
Err99 started with Canon XT and 20D cameras.

I describe myself as living at the juncture of nonprofits/businesses and technology. I am extremely passionate about creating connections for people, to each other and to new ideas. And I love creating those critically important connections for organizations to all kinds of strategy, tactics, and technology tools that help them with their important work.
For 25 years, I worked at nonprofit organizations, building community engagement in educational, social, and issues-based programs. In 2009, when social media began to explode, I started to explore new ways of weaving connections and building community. Since then, I have worked with hundreds of organizations and businesses, both professionally and as a volunteer, to help them connect meaningfully with their audiences in the digital space and learn how to utilize the tools and technology best suited to their needs. I have also helped organizations increase their effectiveness by facilitating the creation of strategic plans that align their efforts (digital marketing, governance, and programmatic) with their mission and vision.website

What's been going on recently at THINK?
So we are over three months in and word is getting out, we have had a few new faces each week.
I'll start with our second meeting, for which we changed the topic at somewhat the last minute. We started off with a discussion of what the rules should be for our little group, I proposed a few which weren't particularly contentious. The three rules I proposed were:
- Everyone has the right to express a view with the expectation of being treated with respect
- Everyone has the right to speak – so the mediation method must be followed by everyone and must be fair
- The aim is not to "win" an argument.
These seemed to be sensible, so thanks to an interesting point about traffic lights made by one of our new group members, we moved on to the kind of rules we perhaps ought not to follow. We discussed education and the pressure to conform to social expectations, as well as the need to consider group safety and responsibility.
So thanks to all that turned up to the second meeting of THINK and help us establish our rules.
And now onto the third meeting, the first presented by my co-founder, Noush. She had read an interesting article from the Guardian (http://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/feb/02/middle-aged-people-least-happy-most-anxious-ons-wellbeing-report) about some analysis from the ONS on statistics they gather periodically. This suggests people around middle age are the least happy. The question Noush posed was whether we could measure happiness.
This was an interesting discussion and one that distracted me from facilitating the discussion. We spoke about how the expectations for the future might impact your perception of your current happiness, ie. being less happy in the short term in the expectation of happiness in the future. We spoke about some individuals perhaps being "naturally" happier and whether there could exist a standard scale. A few times the question was raised of whether hindsight can change how you remember a previously happy event and what that means, as well as the importance of social expectations to an individual's happiness. The initial question, of whether happiness can (or should) be measured, was something there were an array of views on. It is not a question easily answered, though many of us saw the validity, as in these studies, of comparing answers within a group (the importance of linguistics was also flagged up).
The discussion in March will be presented by Robert and Noush will email about that soon. Thanks to all of our participants for your support so far and I hope you will join us for our next meeting, on the 9th March.

It's just trouble waiting to happen.
Believe me, I get it. Your romantic relationship is stressed and you want the best possible therapist to assist you. So, you plan to ask the professional who knows you best — your personal therapist — to also assist you and your partner in dealing with your relationship issues.
Don't do it!
It may seem like a great idea, but it's a recipe for disaster. Here are three reasons why you should not use your current therapist for couples therapy:
1. "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!"
Yes, I'm turning to "The Brady Bunch" for this. Remember how jealous Jan was of her older sister Marcia? They argued a lot! When the parents intervened, their guidance fell on deaf ears, because Jan always assumed they were on Marcia's side.
No matter how unbiased your personal therapist promises to be, your partner is likely to believe that he or she favors you.
Think about it: For months or years, you've been sharing your deepest thoughts and feelings with this person. After a tough joint session, what's to stop you from using your private therapy time to share even more of your side of the story? It makes sense that your partner will think you and your therapist are in cahoots.
For true healing to take place, you must both feel that the therapist is neutral and supports each of you equally.
2. Your relationship comes first
When therapists work with couples, 'the relationship' becomes the client.
Couples therapy examines how both of your actions impact the health of your romantic bond. You can explore who you are as individuals to bring greater meaning, honesty and passion to your partnership, but it's not the place for in-depth, individual work.
It's challenging to keep the focus where it needs to be when some sessions are about you as a couple, and others are about your personal growth. Do that, and you run into that fairness thing again.
Enjoying your personal sessions? Then, keep that therapist for yourself and find a different one for you and your loved one.
3. As a couple, you grow together
Your couples therapist is going to ask you and your partner to do a variety of things. If the therapist is new to both of you, you and your partner may be more enthusiastic to give their suggestions a try.
The therapist may have you role-play challenging situations and identify alternative solutions. They may have you interact with more supportive and less blaming language. For homework, they may ask you each discuss your day using the PAIRS' Daily Temperature Reading:
- Appreciation: Mention something the other has done for you and thank them. Example: "I appreciate that you made my favorite dish for dinner tonight."
- New information: Share something new that happened during the day. Example: "I ran into a friend from college today." Or "I made an amazing sale at work this afternoon."
- Puzzles: Ask about something you don't understand. This helps prevent both of you from making erroneous assumptions. Example: "I wonder why the Johnsons are moving out of town?" Or "Why did you tell me not to invite the Smith's to our party?"
- Concerns with recommendations: Share your feelings about an issue you want to change. Example: "I feel so uncomfortable when I come home and find shoes by the door. If you like leaving your shoes there, I can buy a decorative basket and you can put them inside."
- Hopes, wishes and dreams: Share a wish you have for your future life together. It can be simple and realistic or wild and crazy. Example: "Why don't we sail around the world together?" Or "I'd love to dance with you at our daughter's wedding!"
Keeping the love alive in your relationship is important.
So, search for a therapist who is new to the both of you. Your personal therapist may be able to suggest someone. And give your relationship a real chance for a fresh start.

At last night's dance we floated the idea of offering a workshop in conjunction with one of our upcoming dances, probably in early fall. We want to get some feedback about what people are interested in. We are considering offering 2 or 3 one-hour workshop sessions in the afternoon, followed by a dinner break, and then our dance in the evening. Everyone could sign up for the session(s) they want to attend.
To give us some specific feedback, could you please take a minute to answer the following poll? The link will take you to the poll Web site. Thank you!

The Life of a Military Child
If you are not familiar with the life of a military kid allow me to paint you a picture. This is a recent conversation I had with my daughter:
"I really miss Daddy."
"Would you like to call him?"
"No, I'm really mad at him."
Our [82nd Airborne] Soldier was recently away for a 10-day training, as we say "in the field." When he returns home he'll see the family for a few days but he'll still be working long hours. On the 5th day back from training he returns home with news that he'll be leaving yet again for another 6-week training the following morning. He leaves before the kids wake up.
That's why my daughter is mad. She doesn't understand why he is not coming home again.
After three combat deployments spanning from 9-15 months and countless training missions in and out of country, I could say I am used to this life but I cannot say I am ever "settled." We are not in one place for very long nor is anything ever permanent. My soldier and I are used to the distance, and the long hours, days and weeks without communication but I still don't have a good way to explain how things are consistently inconsistent to my children.
I know they'll grow to be stronger than most by living through these experiences but in the now it feels like living through a never ending natural disaster.
The hardest part of this life is explaining the time and distance to our children. Their bright, shiny eyes see the days as an eternity. When my four-year-old sees a stack of clean uniforms sitting on the table and asks, "Is daddy working forever today or just a tiny bit?" it breaks my heart.
Our children have only known their dad to be in the military. In that time, my four-year-old daughter has already lived in another country and two different states, has visited 11 countries, and has had to move twice while my 16-month-old son has already lived in two states and has moved once. They have said more "see you laters" and "goodbyes" to their daddy than "hello's."
This is part one of two-part series written by Amy Williams, the Communications Specialist for the Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at Cape Fear Valley in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Part two will run on April 12.

Axial-tech Fan Design
Better, faster, stronger
Newly designed for the latest generation of top-end ROG graphics cards, these fans feature a smaller hub that facilitates longer blades and a barrier ring to increase downward air pressure.
0dB Technology
Quiet intelligence
An advanced onboard controller brings fans to a standstill when the GPU core temperature is below 55 Celsius, letting you enjoy light gaming in relative silence. As temps rise past the threshold, the fans automatically start up again.
*To activate 0dB mode, please engage Quiet (Q) bios mode by using the onboard switch.
2.7-slot Design
Sink your heat into this
The ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER leverages a 2.7-slot design to gain more heatsink surface area. The extra thermal headroom increases overclocking potential and allows fans to run at even lower speeds in light scenarios.
Dual Bios
Choose wisely
Do you prioritize low core temps or low noise levels? Performance mode will let the fans spin up to keep the card running cool all the time. Quiet mode keeps the same power target and top-end settings, but offers a less aggressive fan curve for quieter operation at medium temps. For even more customization and control, check out our GPU Tweak II software.
Auto-Extreme Technology
Precision Automated Manufacturing
Auto-Extreme Technology is an automated manufacturing process that sets new standards in the industry by allowing all soldering to be completed in a single pass. This reduces thermal strain on components and avoids the use of harsh cleaning chemicals, resulting in less environmental impact, lower manufacturing power consumption, and a more reliable product overall.
Super Alloy Power II
Premium power components
To deal with varying game and application workloads, the Turing™ architecture can change speeds in an instant, necessitating a power delivery circuit with the reserves to handle the onslaught when you dial up the clock. The ROG Strix GeForce® RTX 2080 SUPER™ is armed with premium capacitors, DrMOS power stages, and alloy-core chokes capable of pushing performance to the max.
MaxContact Technology
Stay close
MaxContact is an industry-first technology that utilizes precision machining to create a heat spreader surface that makes up to 2X more contact with the GPU chip, resulting in improved thermal transfer.
Reinforced Frame
Architecture FTW
A metal brace prevents excessive torsion and lateral bending of the PCB.
GPU Tweak II

Stamford is a coastal community along Connecticut's shoreline located in Fairfield County. It is the fourth largest city in the state with a population of approximately 117,000 residents. Stamford is conveniently located just 25 miles to the northeast of New York City.
Stamford was the ninth-safest city in the United States in 2006 and for the past six years has ranked in the top 11 safest cities with populations of 100,000 or more, according to the FBI. In 2005, Stamford was voted "The Best City to Reside In" by the magazine United States Living.
The population is diverse and interesting, ranging from recent immigrants to college students and professionals. You will find diverse housing too -- urban lofts to gracious homes on wooded acreage to elegant waterfront homes and condominiums on Long Island Sound. In the 2nd Quarter 2007 home prices ranged between the 500's to just over 1 million. Stamford residents pay slightly less for real estate than their next door neighbors in New Canaan, Darien, and Greenwich.
Stamford offers several neighborhoods such as Shippan, Waterside, Glenbrook, and Downtown to the south near Long Island Sound and Springdale, Westover, and Beltow in the center. More suburban neighborhoods can be found north of the Merritt Parkway in North Stamford.
Stamford residents enjoy city-owned beaches, picnic areas, parks, bird sanctuaries, ice-skating rinks, and nature trails.
Stamford has several public high schools, Westhill High School, Stamford High School, J.M. Wright Technical High School and the Academy of Information Technology and Engineering. The city also has several private schools, including King and Low-Heywood Thomas School and Trinity Catholic High School, and Bi-Cultural Jewish Day School as well as two state charter schools: Trailblazers Academy Charter Middle School and Stamford Academy Charter High School, both operated by human services nonprofit Domus. Stamford has branches of the University of Connecticut, University of Bridgeport and Sacred Heart University.
