text: Two days had past since Sari had used her key to upgrade herself. She was no longer an eight-year-old girl as she had been before the fateful upgrade. The key's power had caused Sari to grow and age rapidly. She was now a sixteen-year-old girl. Sari looked and felt older, but she was still the same little girl on the inside. Only now, Sari was less rambunctious and more rebellious. Sari was finally feeling better after Ratchet had used the EMP generator on her to keep her from destroying Detroit. Even though using her robotic powers had its disadvantages, there was one thing Sari couldn't argue with, she felt good using them. In fact, she had never felt more alive in her life than when she fought the Rock Lords. She felt liberated and empowered and like many people who crave power, she wanted more. But unfortunately, her father would hear nothing of it, and neither would her Autobot friends. In fact, the Autobots felt that it would be a good idea if Sari were to stop spending time with them for fear of her safety, and her father agreed with them. Sari thought that the very suggestion was unacceptable. Sari let her anger get the best of her and stormed off with tears in her eyes. Sari feared that if she had stayed any longer, she would have done something horrible. Sari is walking through the Detroit City Park. She is trying to pull herself together when she hears a low rumbling sound. All of a sudden, a large mine protected vehicle comes crashing through the trees and barrels straight towards Sari. Sari is paralyzed with fear. Just as Sari is about to get flattened, a mysterious figure leaps at Sari and grabs her. The mysterious figure carries Sari over to a safe place and gently puts her down. Sari gets a better look at her savior. She sees that it is a giant robot wearing a poncho and a Chinese coolie hat. The robot looks down at her. Sixshot: "Are you okay, human?" Sari looks at Sixshot with awe. She nods her head. Sixshot: "Good, now if you'll excuse me, I have a psychopath to destroy." Sixshot takes out two guns and runs towards the mine protected vehicle. He stops in front of it and cocks his guns. Sixshot: "Show yourself, coward!" The mine protected vehicle stalls, and then it transforms into a robot and roars in anger. Bonecrusher: "I hate this planet! I hate this vehicle mode! I hate this lovely weather we're having! I hate all these humans running around! I hate that girl over there, and I definitely hate you, bounty hunter!" Sixshot: "Oh yeah? Well, I hate Decepticons who won't shut up! You're going down, punk!" Bonecrusher: "I hate that you're still alive!" Sixshot opens fire on Bonecrusher. The bullets bounce off of Bonecrusher's armor plating. Bonecrusher swings at Sixshot with his large extendable claw. Sixshot jumps out of the way and transforms into a winged wolf. Sixshot lets out a heart-stopping howl and leaps at Bonecrusher. He claws at Bonecrusher but is unable to cause any damage. He bites Bonecrusher's arm and breaks a tooth. Bonecrusher laughs and slashes Sixshot's belly with his claw. Sixshot yelps. Bonecrusher tosses him into the air. Sixshot transforms in mid-air and turns into a gigantic tripod. Sixshot bellows and fires a death ray at Bonecrusher. Bonecrusher takes damage and bursts into flames. He roars in frustration. Bonecrusher: "I HATE BEING ON FIRE!!!" Sixshot: "Then you're going to hate this." Sixshot grabs Bonecrusher with a large tentacle and swallows him. After a brief pause, Sixshot spits him out. Bonecrusher is covered in slime. Bonecrusher: "I HATE BEING COVERED IN SLIME!!" Sixshot transforms back into robot mode. Sixshot: "Is there anything you don't hate?!" Bonecrusher: "I HATE WHEN PEOPLE ASK ME THAT QUESTION!" Sixshot: "I guess not." Sixshot and Bonecrusher get into a violent fist fight. Sari watches on. They throw whatever random items they can find at each other. Sixshot roundhouse kicks Bonecrusher. Bonecrusher sucker punches Sixshot and then swings his claw at him. Sixshot takes massive damage and collapses. Sari kneels beside him. Sari: "Are you okay?!" Sixshot: "I have a *KZZT* huge bleeding gash on my *KZZT* chest plate *KZZT* that's about *KZZT* eight feet deep. Do *KZZT* I look *KZZT* okay to you?!" Bonecrusher: "It's no use; no one can survive the merciless wrath of the great and powerful Decepticon Bonecrusher, no one!" Sari stands up and clenches her fists. She turns around to face Bonecrusher. Her eyes turn white with anger. Sari: "HEY YOU, DECEPTICHOP, I HAVE A BONE TO PICK WITH YOU!!!" Sixshot: "Oh my Primus, did she *KZZT* really just say that?!" Bonecrusher: "THAT WAS THE WORST ONE LINER I'VE EVER HEARD! I HATE YOU FOR THAT! PREPARE TO DIE, HUMAN CHILD!!!" Sari draws her arm blades and jumps onto Bonecrusher. She slashes him again and again. Bonecrusher grabs Sari and slams her against the ground. Sari gets up and runs around Bonecrusher in circles at mach speed. Bonecrusher and Sixshot get dizzy from watching her. Sari stops running and leaps into the air and onto Bonecrusher's chest. She stabs him in his spark chamber with her arm blade and cuts his head clean of with the other one. Bonecrusher's decapitated body collapses to the ground. Sari jumps off of his body and wipes the sweat from her brow. Sari: "OH YEAH! WHO'S BAD?!" Sixshot: "Speak of *KZZT* the Fallen!" Bonecrusher: "I *KZZT* hate *KZZT* not having *KZZT* a……*KZZT*" Sixshot blacks out for half an hour. When he comes to, Sari is standing over him. He sits up. Sari steps back to give him room. Sixshot puts his hand on his chest plate to feel his wound. To his surprise, it has disappeared. All of his other injuries have also vanished. He feels great, as if Bonecrusher never injured him. Sari: "How are you feeling?" Sixshot: "I feel like a million energon cubes, what happened?!" Sari puts her hand behind her back. It was glowing blue like the All-Spark. Sari: "…I guess you…just needed some rest." Sixshot shrugs and stands up. Sixshot: "What you did to that Decepticon back there was amazing, kid! I have honestly never seen anyone fight as well as you in my life. You're awesome!" Sari blushes and smiles. Sari: "Thanks. You weren't so bad either. Thanks for saving me." Sixshot: "No problem. Well, I'll be seeing you. I have to go see a bot about another bot." Sixshot walks away casually. Sari walks beside him. Sari: "Wait, don't go. What's your name?" Sixshot: "I'm Sixshot." Sari: "I'm Sari." Sixshot: "Oh, don't be, I like my name. It has a nice sound to it, doesn't it? I have five different alt-modes, six counting the one I'm in right now, six different weapons in my arsenal, and I can speak six different languages. I guess you can say I'm obsessed with the number six, hence my name, Sixshot." Sari giggles. Sari: "No, I mean my name is Sari." Sixshot: "What the Fallen kind of a name is Sari?" Sari: "What kind of a name is Sixshot?" Sixshot looks at Sari impatiently. Sari looks at Sixshot innocently. Sixshot laughs. Sixshot: "You're alright, kid. You know, I guess I'll stick around for a little bit. I'm running on empty, anyway. Do you know where I can get some oil around here?" Sari: "Sure, follow me." Unbeknownst to Sari and Sixshot, Bonecrusher is still functioning. His one eye is watching them as they leave. To be continued.

Feb. 6, 2004 - The Small Business Administration is listening to serious concerns raised by the general aviation industry about the FAA's proposed charity/sightseeing rule change. The SBA's Office of Advocacy held a teleconference on Friday after contacting AOPA and numerous other industry groups for background information on the effects of the change. AOPA participated in the teleconference.
"Our numbers helped convince the Office of Advocacy that there's true cause for concern for small general aviation businesses," said AOPA Director of Regulatory and Certification Policy Luis Gutierrez. The notice of proposed rulemaking would, by the FAA's own estimate, drive hundreds of small sightseeing operators out of the business and would more than double the number of hours a pilot must have before being able to fly as part of charity fundraisers, from 200 to 500 - all this with no likely increase in safety.
In fact, the airplane accident rate per million flight hours for sightseeing flights made under FAR Part 91 is nearly one-third lower than commercial air tours provided under FAR Parts 121 and 135.
"This morning's teleconference brought together everyone from individual small sightseeing operators to representatives for major air tour operators," said AOPA's Gutierrez. "This is a battle for which the industry really needs to come together, because, in the words of one of the participants, this rule is an equal opportunity offender. And I think that this meeting shows the FAA a strongly united front."
The smaller operators made clear that the FAA's assumptions about the number of hours Part 91 sightseeing operations are flying and percent of revenue such flights generate is badly flawed. And the larger air tour operators stressed that the combined burden of the cost of compliance and resulting loss of revenue could be enough to drive some of them out of business as well.
AOPA is helping SBA determine the number of Part 91 operators affected by the NPRM and how the NPRM would affect their revenues; determine the cost of implementing the rule; look at how the rule will affect airfields, flight schools, and charity organizations; and examine alternatives that would allow the FAA to achieve its regulatory goals while reducing the burden on small businesses.
SBA also informed participants in Friday's teleconference that the FAA will hold its "virtual" public meeting Feb. 23-March 5, 2004. The "virtual" public meeting is essentially a chat room where interested parties may submit questions and comments 24 hours a day, and the FAA will respond during normal business hours. AOPA has been pressuring the FAA to hold face-to-face meetings with the owners of the small businesses they're proposing to put out of business and will continue to do so.
The SBA Office of Advocacy will use the information from Friday's teleconference to help shape any potential response to the FAA on the charity/sightseeing NPRM.

Still, I had hopes that, if the CAP was successful, Canada could one day be a beacon of liberty to guide us back to freedom. With that thought in mind, I listened to their radio program that I spotlighted in a temporary "Alert" post.
I really didn't like what I heard. The speaker talked of "human capital" and spoke of government financed education. "Human capital" reminds me of the change I witnessed here, starting about 30 to 35 years ago. Personnel departments began changing to departments of "human resources." People were becoming "resources," much like a ton of coal, a pig of iron, or a barrel of oil to be used up in the manufacturing process and then disposed of as industrial waste. Here we have human beings as the capital used to build the economy of the State through education.
I have a special loathing for the idea of government "educating" the people. Both Hitler and Mao are sometimes credited with having said, "Give me the child at three and he's mine for life." The Fabians may or may not have said the same, but they've certainly practiced control through "education." Still, I don't think it's necessary for the state to control the child's mind as early as three. Many parents here have noted a marked change in their children's thinking after attending a few years of college. An intensive indoctrination campaign, even one begun at a later age, can work wonders.
One advocate of universal education by the state was Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson is one of my heroes. He was one of the wisest men I know of, but his wisdom was born of 20-20 hindsight. He was well read in history and was able to learn from the mistakes of the past such as the threat to liberty of combining the power of the state with the power of the church. But I don't think there were enough examples for him to see the dangers of combining the state with education, so he made the mistake of thinking state sponsored education a means to further liberty. Maybe this would be true if we had saints to run the state, but then, liberty might also be furthered by a bank run nation if we had saints to run the banks.
After reading a few more of CAP's newsletters, I couldn't escape the conclusion that the party is a socialist party. I don't think they try to hide it. While there is an element of nationalism, of patriotism, in the Canadian Action Party that can make them a worthy ally in the fight against NAFTA, CAFTA, and the North American Union, beyond that we cannot look to them as an ally in the fight for freedom. Socialism can never be a path to freedom. The four major socialisms of the past century, Communism, British/American Fabianism, German National Socialism, and Fascism are all rooted in the philosophy of Hegel. Hegel saw the individual as worthless except as a cog in the gears of the State machinery. Socialism, in any of its forms, is a negation of the individual. As such, it can never be a beacon of liberty.

Long Lost Lovers. Especially long lost lovers who never quite got it together the first time. Who never quite admitted how weak at the knees and hot under the skin they got around each other. Because it would have been a Bad Idea back then.
And now... now it's going to happen. Even though now it's a really Bad Idea.
Sex with Strangers. Especially strangers with an agenda. Especially when sex with this stranger has all the earmarks of a really, really Bad Idea.
(Oh yeah, as if sex with a stranger would -- in real life -- be anything BUT a terrible idea. But this is real life between the epages of an ebook, where anything goes, and the safety factor is built in. Guaranteed. But it's still a Bad Idea.)
So yes, I like to put my woman in edgy situations.
My first release, Informed Consent, is a Long Lost Almost Lovers book. Tara and Joe have history -- almost. But it ended suddenly and painfully. And now, six years later...
With equal parts determination and trepidation—and a low heat forming in her gut—Tara Calloway risks more than her heart to carry a vital message to her long-ago would-be lover, both hopeful and fearful of the reception that awaits her.
Can she keep it strictly business between them, for everyone's sake, or will Joe Corbett seize this chance to carry out the graphic agenda of explicitly sexual threats—promises?—depicted in the letter he wrote her six years ago in a paroxysm of heat and anger and bruised pride?
And will she let him?Well, of course she'll let him.
Karen from BDSM Book Reviews gave Informed Consent 4.5 Paddles out of 5. "This short story packs a lot of detail and a lot of emotion in just 80 pages.... This is definitely an author to watch."
Which brings us back to love from strangers. A stranger wrote that review. Someone I've never met. That's exciting. And even more exciting, something a first-time-published author realises as those royalty cheques begin to show up in the mailbox....
Strangers -- perfect strangers -- are buying my book.
My fellow Ellora's Cave writer Rea Thomas has generously featured me as a guest today on her blog, http://reathomas.wordpress.com/. Check out her sizzling new book, Pleasure Express, just released by EC for Men.

In Step 2 of this form, in the link "Click here to go to the XE.com website ...", I am trying to pass the contents of the field {selectCurrency} in Step 1 of the form, using this link -
The jotform system has changed it to -
In the address bar, when the XE.com website page is displayed, From={selectCurrency} is shown as being taken literally instead of the contents of the {selectCurrency} field.
How can I pass the contents of {selectCurrency} instead of the literal text?
If I hard code the currency code then the parameter is passed correctly. (as in "Click here" in the 5th pararaph following the header.
Another couple of points -
In the Jotform field {selectCurrency} I cannot remove the blank line at the top of the drop-down list. I just want EUR and USD displayed (with EUR selected) without the first blank line.
How can I reduce the amount of space between Step 1 and Select currency, more like this -
Step 1
Select currency *
and the same as the space under Step 2, Step 3 and Step 4.
Many thanks for your help
Dee Cox

As far as I know it is not possible to pass parameter from form to external URL link.
However there is a possible workaround. First duplicate Step 2 text field inside of your form.
Then inside of first field add hard code link for EUR and in second duplicate field add link to USD.
Then set condition inside of your form which will show field with EUR link if EUR currency is selected and second conditions which will show text field with USD if USD currency is selected.
Here is my demo form: https://form.jotform.com/62165348698974
Feel free to clone it.
I have moved your other question to separate thread and we will provide you an answer there shortly. https://www.jotform.com/answers/898643
Hope this will help. Let us know if you need fuhrer assistance.

A few months back, I was given the assignment by Sinar Bron Imaging (www.sinarbron.com) to produce a series of location fashion shots to illustrate the quality and flexibility of the new Sinar eMotion 75 digital camera back and Broncolor Verso A2 portable Power Pack. So, I decided to put the new equipment through the ultimate test: a series of location shoots in New York City�in one day! This would allow me to test the quality of the equipment, as well as its ease of transport.
Once I received client approval, it was time to turn concept into reality. The most stressful first step was managing the logistics: Talent, location scouting, and making the whole project fit within budget. I put together a crew that would ultimately help translate this concept into real imagery. I found a model with an intriguing look and a sense of elegance, but not someone with a familiar face from a recent ad campaign. I selected fashion, makeup, and hair stylists who understood the mood of the images I wanted to produce. I knew my two assistants would be able to keep up with the fast-paced assignment and multiple technical challenges.
The next step was to secure a permit to shoot in and around New York City from the Mayor�s Office and a special permit for our shoot on the Brooklyn Bridge, a high-security alert area.
Fortunately, the weather was on our side. We had a deep-blue sky and scattered, patchy white clouds. We met the crew at the stylist�s studio and drove our location vehicle to our first stop: the Brooklyn Bridge. Shooting at a specific time to get the look I wanted added to the pressure of staying on schedule.
Equipment was my next concern. The Sinar Bron Imaging equipment was easy to transport and to set up. I was anxious to find out how it would actually perform on location in an environment that had absolutely no room for error and no time for re-shoots or set changes.
Since the back was designed for tethered and untethered operation, I was able to move around freely, a tremendous benefit at this and other locations. The unit�s 6GB shock-resistant, solid state memory holds up to 160 images (RAW, compressed).
I also shot simultaneously onto high-capacity CF cards and the built-in solid state memory for increased file security. The Verso A2 portable power pack provided ample power. I generally shot with the Broncolor Ringflash because it combines natural and artificial light so precisely for critical control of the output. At our next stop, the Flatiron District, I shot with the back, power pack, and Ringflash. The breakdown and setup of the gear was really fast and easy.
Our final location, Times Square at twilight, was the most challenging. The sidewalks were filled with pedestrians, mostly tourists, and the streets had an endless stream of cars and yellow taxis. The same lights that make Times Square a worldwide attraction presented a considerable lighting challenge for us. My stress level was extreme.
Minutes before twilight, my crew and I scrambled to find parking�never an easy job in New York�for our oversized location vehicle. We needed a parking spot large enough to hold the length of four cars! Hair, makeup, and wardrobe had to be done quickly. Model Elizabeth Parker, from Elite modeling agency, was dressed in a sexy, red dress by Emannuel Ungaro, which made �crowd control� that much more difficult.
I had the Verso power pack attached to a rolling hand cart with a couple of bungies. One of my assistants rolled the power pack as I walked and shot in and around Times Square, searching for the perfect location.
Twilight is a difficult and challenging time to shoot. My concept was to capture that excitement in one frame. The Sinar eMotion 75 was mounted to a Hasselblad camera with a 40mm lens. The Broncolor Ringflash connected to the Verso actually allowed for a continuing modeling light�a unique technology developed by Broncolor�that helped the focusing operation and eliminated red eye. I was able to shoot with all this gear, handheld, at 1/30 second exposure.
I focused on balancing the quickly disappearing daylight with the neon lights and the Ringflash. I had to constantly change my settings to adjust to the changing light. Using the RFS transmitter mounted to the hot shoe of my camera let me dial the power settings on the Verso A2 RFS up and down and judge the images instantly and accurately on the Sinar eMotion 75�s 24-bit color OLED. The OLED has a terrific translucent histogram for instantaneous and continuous reading to control exposure accuracy. It was extremely useful in helping me stay on track.
When I got back to the studio and opened the 190MB files, it confirmed that I had consistent exposure and eye-popping colorful images. The clarity of the images and their natural optical sharpness was unbelievable. It was the first time I had digital files that didn�t require any software sharpening prior to printing. The assignment was a big success. We got our images, and it was all much less stressful than we had anticipated.

Offshore Development Opportunities
Source: The Bureau of Ocean Exploration and Management (BOEM)
The states of the Southeast have struggled to fully participate in the American energy resurgence, as the federal government has forced them to the sidelines. As part of the 87 percent of federally controlled offshore acreage that is off limits to energy exploration, potentially significant geologic formations in the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) and Eastern Gulf of Mexico that could hold billions of barrels of untapped resources have been left out of the U.S. energy revolution that is transforming state economies in other regions.
During the 30-plus years federal policy has forfeited energy opportunities in most offshore areas, exploration, drilling and production technologies have advanced so much that previous resource estimates for southeastern coastal areas are obsolete. Revised estimates from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) released in 2014 reveal that 4.72 billion barrels of technically recoverable oil and 37.51 trillion cubic feet of technically recoverable natural gas could be awaiting discovery off the Atlantic Coast. Estimates have jumped just since 2011 assessments, when oil and natural gas estimates were 43 percent and 20 percent lower, respectively. Notably, these revised estimates have been done without the benefit of modern seismic surveying technology, which could reveal even more potential resources.
Voters in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida support offshore energy exploration and believe increased access could help create jobs, lower energy costs for consumers and strengthen American energy security.
Multiple studies confirm significant economic benefits are waiting to be unlocked along with energy resources in the coastal Southeast. Offshore oil and natural gas development is a long-term investment, and decisions made this decade will impact U.S. energy potential for decades to come. To realize the full advantages of our energy resources and maintain global energy leadership, expanding offshore access to new areas is essential.
Offshore Energy Drives Job Growth
After decades of missed opportunity, federal policy is inching closer to opening additional offshore areas to energy development – and major economic growth. Yet a commitment to fully embrace a forward-thinking offshore energy strategy is still lacking. Allowing oil and natural gas exploration in areas in the Atlantic, Pacific and Eastern Gulf of Mexico could create nearly 840,000 jobs and boost domestic energy production by 3.5 million barrels of oil equivalent per day by 2035, according to studies by Quest Offshore Resources. Energy development in these areas could also generate more than $200 billion in cumulative revenue for the government, lead to nearly $450 billion in new private sector spending and contribute more than $70 billion per year to the U.S. economy. Atlantic development alone could create nearly 280,000 jobs by 2035, grow the economy by up to $23.5 billion per year and result in production equal to about 70 percent of current Gulf output, according to Quest.
Development in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico could support nearly 230,000 jobs, produce nearly 1 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, contribute over $18 billion per year to the U.S. economy and generate $70 billion in cumulative government revenue.
Currently, the Department of Interior's Draft Proposed Leasing Program for 2017-2022 barely opens the door to greater OCS access. Promising areas in the Pacific OCS and the Eastern Gulf of Mexico are left out entirely, and the next Five Year Program includes just one potential lease sale for the Atlantic OCS and not until 2021. Two additional steps remain in a leasing program development process that is designed to winnow down the areas offered for lease, so access to the Atlantic is far from assured.
Bipartisan coalitions in the House and Senate have written to Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, calling for greater access. A letter from the Outer Continental Shelf Governors Coalition, which includes Democrat and Republican governors from Atlantic coastal states plus Louisiana and Alaska, points out that "once an area is narrowed, it cannot be expanded without an act of Congress or restarting the entire Five Year Program development process" and urges BOEM to "preserve the full extent of all eight OCS planning areas."
Given the long lead time – as much as 10 to 15 years – required to develop offshore projects, failure to make additional areas available for leasing in the Five Year OCS Leasing Program can set progress back decades. Long-term energy security and economic growth for southeastern states and the entire nation depend on expanded offshore exploration opportunities.
Unlocking Energy Potential Through Seismic Technology
Source: Quest Offshore Resources
Much of what we know about offshore resource potential is based on surveys conducted over 30 years ago. That's set to change with BOEM's July 2014 decision to allow seismic testing to map offshore energy reserves in portions of the Atlantic. Citing "the need to update the nearly four-decade-old data in the region while protecting marine life and cultural sites," BOEM took a step toward preliminary exploration in waters from southern New Jersey to roughly the midpoint of Florida. After an arduous, lengthy permitting process, no seismic surveys were conducted in 2015, but they could commence in 2016.
Seismic surveying is an advanced, carefully regulated technology that works like an ultrasound. Releasing compressed air into the water creates sound waves that penetrate deep into the subsurface rock at the bottom of the ocean and reflect back to the surface, where sensors make recordings that allow scientists to produce detailed 3-dimensional maps that give engineers the information they need to identify the safest and most efficient drilling locations.
Seismic surveying is technology that works like an ultrasound. Releasing compressed air into the water creates sound waves.
Noise levels created by seismic surveys are comparable in volume to the sounds of sperm whales echo-locating for prey, wind and wave action, rain and shipping operations. Surveyors follow strict guidelines to protect marine ecosystems, increasing sound levels gradually to allow sensitive animals to leave the area and halting operations immediately if visual observers or acoustic monitoring devices detect sensitive marine life in the vicinity.
BOEM Chief Environmental Officer William Brown describes the technique's safe track record: "To date, there has been no documented scientific evidence of noise from air guns used in geological and geophysical (G&G) seismic activities adversely affecting marine animal populations or coastal communities. This technology has been used for more than 30 years around the world. It is still used in U.S. waters off of the Gulf of Mexico with no known detrimental impact to marine animal populations or to commercial fishing." Continual improvements in seismic technology throughout its 30-year history make it even more effective today. Seismic surveying is a critical step in understanding offshore resource potential and ultimately realizing that potential through safe exploration.
Center for Offshore Safety: Continuous Progress and Accountability
Comprehensive, continuous efforts implemented by the oil and natural gas industry in coordination with federal regulators are proving effective in further improving safety for offshore energy development.
The Center for Offshore Safety (COS) was launched in 2011 to promote the highest level of safety for offshore drilling, completions and operations. Through effective leadership, communication, teamwork, utilization of disciplined safety management systems, monitoring and independent third-party auditing and certification, COS works to achieve continual safety improvements. The center released a first-of-its-kind annual report in 2015 to measure safety performance. Compiled from industry data and independent third-party audits, the report found that 96 percent of planned critical offshore maintenance, inspections and testing were performed on schedule in 2013, and that rate improved to 99 percent in 2014.
COS has created tools to assist companies in building or enhancing Safety and Environmental Management Systems (SEMS), and three COS guidelines have been adopted by the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) into its own regulations. In 2015, BSEE also formally recognized COS as the first and only organization with the authorization to accredit Audit Service Providers who conduct the BSEErequired SEMS audits, which are required for all offshore oil and gas operators.
In addition to the COS activities, more than 100 standards have been developed or enhanced since 2010 for well design, blowout prevention equipment, worker safety and other elements of exploration and production.
Among the actions taken to ensure effective response in the rare event of an incident is a requirement that advanced systems for capping wells at the ocean floor are now pre-positioned in ports on the Gulf of Mexico, ready to be deployed immediately.
After systematic efforts to examine and improve every aspect of operations, offshore oil and natural gas development is safer than ever. The industry has the commitment and processes in place to build on that progress and move closer to the goal of zero accidents while expanding America's energy security and global energy leadership.

It's common enough to hear that a good night's rest is important to staying healthy. But what does that really mean? How can we ensure we get a sound sleep, and what are the consequences of not doing so? If seniors experience regular disruptions in sleep, it is important to find the cause or causes and address them.
Medications, diseases such as Alzheimer's, and other health issues can prevent a senior from getting the sleep they need. Here's a look at why sleep is so important, what interrupts it, and how to deal with the problem.
It's a normal part of aging for sleep patterns to change. Why circadian rhythms (sleep patterns) change is not completely understood, although studies have shown that light exposure and certain medications may be a factor. No matter the exact cause, it is known that sleep disorders can cause an increased risk in mortality, as well as leading to dementia and cognitive impairment. Alzheimer's disease itself can change sleep patterns. Stress is also a factor, not only in sleep disorders, but in causing dementia.
One thing is for sure: ensuring that the sleeping environment is in the best shape it can be will help a senior go to sleep and stay asleep. A sleep environment which is quiet, and as dark as possible, is the most conducive to a good night's sleep. This means turning off the TV, instead of falling asleep in front of it. Avoid eating too much before going to bed. Avoid alcohol before bedtime. Having a drink or a full meal too soon before sleeping can cause heartburn, and make relaxation a challenge.
A senior who doesn't move around enough can also have trouble sleeping, which is why it's so important to get at least 150 minutes of exercise per week. That may sound like a lot, but it's actually just over 20 minutes of movement per day. It doesn't have to be anything crazy, walking is enough!
A senior who exhibits mood swings, memory loss, or confusion may be suffering from a sleep disorder. One easy way to discover if there is something seriously wrong, and how to treat it, is to see a doctor to discuss what medications may be interfering. The senior may need to develop daytime routines that include some sort of exercise and healthy eating patterns.
A good night's sleep is good for a clear head during the day, as well as increased But don't forget, it's not about the day-to-day, it's about the long-term, and avoiding serious cognitive issues.

Research on Plant Fungi Interactions (PFIs) was initiated in the early 1990s with an extensive screening for novel antimicrobial plant peptides, and resulted in the discovery of several types of novel antifungal proteins. On one of them, named the plant defensins (PDFs), pioneering research was continued. PDFs are small, basic, cysteine-rich antifungal peptides that are structurally related to insect and mammalian defensins. They are active against a broad range of phytopathogenic fungi (e.g. Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium spp., Alternaria spp.) and even human pathogens (e.g. Candida albicans and Aspergillus flavus), whereas they are nontoxic to plant and mammalian cells. Primarily based on PDF studies, research on PFIs was further developed in the late 1990s in two closely collaborating research units, focused on each side of the plant-fungus interaction, being the Plant Unit and the Fungus/Yeast Unit, respectively. Only the first unit is associated to the VIB Department of PSB and as such further described below. The Fungus/Yeast Unit studies the mode of action of bioactive peptides (including PDFs) and small molecules, and uses yeast platforms as model systems for higher eukaryotes.
In our Plant Unit, the discovery of different types of PDFs in Arabidopsis thaliana has significantly stimulated our research on their expression and function. For example, the discovery of the plant defensin AtPDF1.2a and the corresponding signaling pathways involved in its induction broadened the general insight in induced defense mechanisms in plants. The corresponding gene is now world-wide used as a marker for ethylene/jasmonate controlled responses in plants. To support this research, different molecular tools and approaches have also been developed optimizing plant transformation and molecular breeding.
Current research is still focussing on (> 320) PDF-like peptides in Arabidopsis using genome-wide approaches, such as the RNAseq technology, primarily aiming at discovering their in planta role. This research is recently broadened to other types of stress-induced peptides (SIPs). Our expertise on resistance mechanisms, mainly in A. thaliana and focusing on resistance to necroptrophic fungi, allowed us to successfully use this model plant as a source of resistance traits against agronomically important crops/diseases (e.g. Botrytis cinerea in tomato, Fusarium oxysporum in banana, Cercospora beticola in sugarbeet, Cochliobolus heterostrophus in corn). Based on the same expertise some years ago, we also initiated research on defense mechanisms induced by biocontrol organisms, the so-called induced systemic response (ISR). This research is based on transcriptome studies both in a model plant (A. thaliana) and in crops (e.g. tomato, lettuce), involves both biotic and abiotic biocontrol agents and is mainly directed to different necroptrophic pathogens.

It seems to me that when a writer wants to deliver a meaningful punch to the reader it isn't a bad idea to distract him (or her) first—a little levity perhaps or an anecdote, maybe a string of anecdotes. A flashback works. Even a good character description or a peak at the landscape. I'm sure that's not a new idea. Certainly anyone capable of writing The Colony of Unrequited Dreams probably knew that before he started public school. The punch, it seems to me, becomes a low blow, however, when it isn't delivered until the novel is three-quarters finished. By then, the reader has fallen asleep completely, has thought this was a trip to the Ex or a sunshine sketch of childhood in simpler times. A punch delivered at that point immediately seems unfair; appeals surely must be made to the literary gods: a kid too inept to be believably nine cannot score the winning goal in a game with grown-ups, not with seconds left on the clock and the rest of his team in the penalty box. For dreams to work that kind of magic, an analyst is usually somewhere in the background. Alas. The writing was good and the punch was a humdinger.
SummaryAdd a Summary
My first Wayne Johnston book was Colony of Unrequited Dreams and I enjoyed it so much I have been reading his other works. The Divine Ryans are a family who own the newspaper and funeral home in town. The book is about the dynamics in the family when one person appears to run the whole group and how that changes over time.

GUYTON - Construction of a new post office could begin as early as October, according to U.S. postal officials.
The new post office is proposed for the corner of West Central Boulevard and Cemetery Street, near Guyton Elementary School.
The postal service recently agreed to purchase the 2.06-acre parcel from the Effingham County Board of Education for $210,000.
The building will be 5,500 square feet with 23 customer parking places and 25 for employees.
Grant Baker, project manager for the postal service, has told city officials attempts are being made to design a building with the historical look of the early 1900s.
Once design drawings are complete, the postal service officials will meet with city officials for their input. The postal service is planning to use a portion of West Central Boulevard for access to the customer parking area and will pay for the work needed. Once complete, it will be dedicated to the city.
Alderman Les Pevey said while he hasn't had a chance to see what the postal service is planning, Guyton does need a new post office.
"We've outgrown our little post office," Pevey said.
The proposal is up for discussion at a special called council meeting, slated from 8:30 a.m. Monday. The council will vote to draft a letter with any concerns or recommendations to send to postal officials.
No plans have been announced for the current post office.

Gordon Brown is hardly an innocent bystander in this. More on that in another post.In the days since, 10 Downing Street has been redecorated in the colour of its occupant and there's an electric fan in desperate need of a clean. The post I intended to write no longer seems necessary. Brown's attempts to portray himself as above party politics while politicking like Tony Blair on heat were always going to lead to disaster and so they have. His antics even put me in the invidious position of having to agree with Michael Howard yesterday. I feel dirty...
But Howard's point (on Wednesday's Newsnight) was unarguable. No-one, and I do mean no-one, believed Brown's excuses for not calling an election. Let's not mince words. Brown was lying to the British people. No-one likes to be lied too, not least when the lie is so obvious as to suggests that the liar thinks you're a gullible fool. Labour mouthpieces might try to downplay the significance of this moment but that'll only make it worse. It was a major misjudgement.
In fact, it could have been the moment when Brown lost any chance of wining an election but for the fact that Cameron is not entirely honest either. See his "I've not got a script" claim for further details.
What's needed, clearly, is a thorough and expensive review to analyse the reasons why the public feels such large levels of disaffection and distrust towards our politicians. This review will need to come up ways to encourage people to think of politicians as contestants on Big Brother. It should also put forward a number of gimmicks which will make it easier for people to vote. Ideally, it will recommend that people should be able to vote without engaging their brain in the process in any way whatsoever...
We deserve better than this.
Unity has written an interesting post which addresses another segment on Newsnight last night. This related to a documentary which asked politicians to support a bill which would make their lies a criminal offence. I should say that I hadn't seen this part of the programme when I wrote the above because we only get the first 30 minutes of Newsnight up here before cutting away to Newsnight Scotland.
(As an aside, I like Newsnight Scotland but not the fact that the two broadcasts overlap. I missed, for example, Paxman's famously amusing attempts at the weather until I read about them on the interwebs.)
I have now watched the segment and have to say that the proposal to make political lies criminal offences is very silly indeed. It would lead to all sorts of politically motivated court cases from anyone and everyone and it's hard to see how the judicial system could fail to be politicised if this were ever to become law. It's a non-starter.
My own view is that a fundamental reform of the voting system is what's required. The FPTP system creates a closed market in which choices are few and quality is low. It is small "c" conservative in nature so it is very difficult for the public to hold politicians to account in any real way or to express their desire for real change, especially when the two potential parties of government are equally unscrupulous in their politics. There is very little incentive for either party to significantly improve their standing among the general public. All they need to do to win power is to appear to be a little bit less horrid than their rivals in the eyes of a few hundred thousand people in marginal consistencies.
It is a quite perverted state of affairs. Abolishing the closed shop of the FPTP system is essential if there is to be even a chance of "A New Politics" developing in this country. The problem, of course, is that it is exclusively that same closed shop which has the power to open it up. It's going to take an extraordinary campaign to persuade a majority of MPs to vote for something which will open them up to increased competition. In fact, it'd be like persuading them to act like a herd of Ameglian Major Cows. Maybe Deep Thought could do it* but even it would be pushed.
In the meantime, in the absence of the second greatest computer of all time (fictional) designed by a race of pan-dimensional, hyper-intelligent beings disguised a mice (also fictional) and in the further absence of enough MPs who genuinely put democracy and country above career and party (all too real), nothing will really change. The long slow erosion of trust in politicians and the decline in participation and engagement in the democratic process will continue.
This will (and already does) have real world consequences. "Respect Agendas" launched by those who have themselves squandered any respect them might once have commanded are doomed to failure. Laws passed by people whose moral authority is considered highly suspect will become more and more difficult to enforce. And the government's initial inability to halt the Northern Rock crisis was a sign of things to come. Falling turnouts and growing distrust and disillusionment with our politicians is of more than academic interest.
Almost every political speech these days contains at least five gadzillion uses of the word "change". Let's have it then.
* The Omnicognate Neutron Wrangler could argue all four legs off an Arcturan Megadonkey, but only Deep Thought could persuade it to go for a walk afterwards. I'm a bit of a fan of Douglas Adams. I thought I'd mention it because it might not be obvious...

I have the Contact Form and Registration packs and love the products. I have need for a solution and looking for technology to make it happen.
I need a way for clients to log in or not log in to my site, provide specific data into fields that will populate into a formatted form of pages that will ultimulty become a published catalogue of 10-30 pages (or whatever length).
The practical use will be dog owners who will be at an upcoming particular dog show. They come to the site and fill in specific required fields as to themselves and their dogs. The data will then be feed to publish a catalogue provided at the dog show with every entrant animal listed.
I would love to automate the entire process but willing to live with it through to the data in a format ready for publishing.
Does Webassist offer a product that will do this or is anyone aware of another solution?

Getting Started
[edit] Attacking
When you encounter a fiend, your only possible options are to run away, or you have to attack it. To attack a monster, first you will require a weapon equipped(loaded with ammunition if you are using a gun). Press and hold R1 button to aim, then press the action button to attack. Some characters can also attack using their special movement. When aiming with the R1 button, you can choose the attacking level. Hold up on the D-pad and the R1 button to aim up, hold down on the D-pad and the R1 button to aim down. Similarly, you can shift left or right using the D-pad when aiming. When no weapon is equipped, your character will shove using the shoulder instead. Shoving allow more space for your character to escape. Shoving from behind open up more spaces. You can also switch the target while aiming. To do so, press L1 while holding R1. The L1 button can also act as a 'refresh' button when there is only one enemy in the room, useful for aiming fast-moving monster. Beginning the Attacking Portion • To reload a weapon, simply combine the ammunition and the weapon in the Inventory Screen, or tap the L1 button. • Do take note that if there is no sufficient space, any pole-type melee weapons (for example, Iron Pipe) will 'bounced' by the wall, and the attack will not be made.
[edit] Climbing
To climb, simply press the action button next to the thing you want to climb. You can use the climbing function to climb ladder, ledges and object. Note that you can only climb onto certain items and ladders.
[edit] Collection
From here, you can view the collection of the unlockables that the game has to offer. Use L1 and R1 to toggle between the sub menus, and the D-pad to move the cursor around the unlockables. Highlight one that is not blank to get a description and the points needed information, which is shown at the bottom left of the screen. On the right is the "RESULT", which is the points that you have accumulated. You can spend them to purchase the unlockables, and any purchased unlockables will have a "OK" words on it. To purchase, simply highlight any unlockable and press the action button. Press the action button to confirm, or cancel to cancel buying. Below shows what you can do after buying them. • On the "GALLERY", press the action button to view the picture. • On the "COSTUME", press the action button to view a description of the costume. To use them, select them in the CHARACTER SELECT screen when you start a game. • On the "MOVIE", press the action button to choose which movie scene you wish to view. • On the "SOUND", press the action button to choose the sound/music you wish to hear. Use the D-pad to choose the track. At any time, press the cancel button to return to the main menu.
[edit] Network
Selecting "NETWORK" brings you to a menu, where you will be asked to save your unsaved data as 'starting a network game may result in a loss of unsaved system data." Press "X" to proceed. Initially, it will search for a NET file. Without a file you will not be able to save your login name and other players' information. Choose to create one if you want. A NET file requires 123 KB of free space in the memory card to be created.
[edit] Shoving
Some objects can be shove along the ground. The purpose of shoving objects are to build a route so you can advance the game, or build barricade. To shove, stand beside an object, and hold the D-pad against the direction of the object. Beginning the Shoving Proportion: • Note that only some items can be push. Similarly, you can stop the zombies from entering a room by shoving against the door. • Note that the shoving will be terminated should there be any obstacles (be it an enemy, other character or an item) in the way.
[edit] Single Play
The game will search and load any saved data on the memory card. Then, you will be brought to the SCENARIO SELECT screen. Initially, there are only 1 scenario available, which is the "OUTBREAK" scenario. Don't worry, you will unlock 4 more after repeated plays. Use the D-Pad to scroll between the scenarios if you have more than 1 available for play. Below display a brief description of the scenario, and press the triangle button for information on the scenario events that you have done. Initially, it will be blank, but after playing the game and doing tasks, it will be recorded here. Press the action button and you will be brought to the CHARACTER SELECT. Use the D-pad to scroll between the characters, action button to confirm the selection or O button to return to the scenario selection screen. In here, pressing the triangle button shows you the scenario event checklist. After choosing a character, you can select the difficulty of the scenario. Initially, only EASY and NORMAL is available. HARD and VERY HARD needs to be unlocked. After choosing the difficulty, the scenario game starts.

The New Oxford Book of Victorian Verse, edited by Christopher Ricks. New York and Oxford: Oxford University Press. 654 pp. $30. British Poetry and Prose 1870-1905, edited by Ian Fletcher. The Oxford Authors, general editor, Frank Kermode. New York and Oxford: Oxford University Press. 497 pp. $34 cloth. $14.95 paper.
``Have you read Swinburne's `Atalanta' - the grandest thing ever yet done by a youth,'' wrote John Ruskin to Charles Eliot Norton in 1866. Like the great Victorian critic, generations of precocious schoolboys reveled in the rhythms of ``Atalanta in Calydon,'' boldly chanting the famous chorus that begins
When the hounds of spring are on
winter's traces,
The mother of months in meadow or
plain Fills the shadows and windy places
With lisp of leaves and ripple of
rain; And the brown bright nightingale
amorous Is half assuaged for Itylus, For the Thracian ships and the foreign
The tongueless vigil and all the pain.
Swinburne's ``Atalanta in Calydon'' is but one of many Victorian masterpieces missing from ``The New Oxford Book of Victorian Verse.'' Tennyson's haunting lyric, ``Tears, Idle Tears,'' his archetypally revealing ``Lady of Shalott,'' Ernest Dowson's histrionic but irresistible ``Non sum qualis eram bonae sub regno Cynarae'' with its oft-quoted refrain ``I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion,'' Swinburne's beautiful elegy to Baudelaire, ``Ave Atque Vale,'' and William Morris's powerful poem ``The Haystack in the Floods'' are missing as well.
There are, of course, compensations and some intriguing discoveries. John Clare, Emily Bront"e, and Christina Rossetti are well-represented (including ``Goblin Market'' in its entirety). James Henry's social protest verse is a treasure. The dialect poems of William Barnes, though charming, are for my taste overrepresented. And there are many poems by authors (like James Henry) too obscure to have found their way into ``The Oxford Companion to English Literature.'' Some, no doubt, are included as specimens of merely middling writing (although there is nothing by the best-selling bad poet Martin Tupper). Others, perhaps, exemplify what the editor considers the ``true voice of feeling.''
Matthew Arnold has been reduced to a handful of poems, while Arthur Hugh Clough, whom Arnold mourned - and condescended to - in his elegy ``Thyrsis'' (also not included) receives a kind of poetic justice from Ricks, who not only provides a good selection of his shorter pieces, but also reprints in its entirety Clough's interesting verse novel ``Amours de Voyage.'' Ricks is also sensitive to the novelistic quality of George Meredith's sonnet sequence ``Modern Love'': Although he does not reprint the whole, the parts he has chosen reveal Meredith's dazzling ability to combine the lyric and the satirical.
Christopher Ricks, formerly of Cambridge, currently professor of English at Boston University, fits this pattern of eccentricity, although he has not tampered with the time frame. Verse in this volume was either written or published - preferably both - between 1837 and 1900.
It was a period that fell short of the sublimity and originality of High Romanticism, that may have lacked the irony and innovations of Modernism, but that boasted a rich array of styles, subjects, techniques, and outlooks. These ranged from the inspired parodies of Lewis Carroll to the solemn pronouncements of Matthew Arnold, from Browning's rough rhythms to Tennyson's exquisitely Virgilian cadences, from the mystical religiosity of Hopkins to the quieter vision of Hardy. Certainly, there was no shortage of breathtaking poems - something one would not guess from a perusal of this collection.
Indulging his own taste - as have other editors before him - Ricks shows a propensity for the small, the light, the prosaic, and the trivial (not to say the quadrivial). Is this, perhaps, but the latest form of a decadence that willfully prefers the ``average'' verse specimen to the extraordinary poem? Or is Ricks engaged in a quest to rewrite literary history so that centuries of poetic endeavor should seem to lead up to the 20th-century ``heights'' of Larkin and Betjeman?
Ricks's selection of verse from the last three decades of Victoria's reign is substantially different from that offered by Ian Fletcher in ``British Poetry and Prose 1870-1905.'' Even when fishing the same waters, each editor chooses different poems.
Part of the excellent Oxford Authors series, ``British Poetry and Prose 1870-1905'' is something of a departure in that it covers a period rather than a person. Its starting date 1870 is somewhat misleading. In the 1870s, Tennyson, Browning, Meredith, Morris, and the Rosettis were still writing, yet none of their work appears here. (Fletcher does include ``Atalanta'' - even though it was written in 1865!)
The atmosphere of this volume is, I think, redolent of the 1890s, that twilight zone of aesthetes, imperialists, decadents, agnostics, Anglican and Roman Catholic pietists, alcoholics, homosexuals, Celtic revivalists, mystics, dreams, and social realists. Most of its poets were minor ones, or if major (like Yeats) still writing minor poems. The short story - well represented with selections from George Gissing, H.G. Wells, Richard Garnett, and Rudyard Kipling - flourished.
At first glance, the persistence of the minor key from 1870 to 1905 seems more understandable than in the broader period of 1837 to 1900 covered by Ricks. But Fletcher's exclusion of material that does not fit his idea of the era in queston also deprives us of an opportunity to reevaluate our own notions about that period.
Although his anthology is more professional and more cohesive than Ricks's, neither volume really succeeds in furnishing a fresh outlook on an age or in providing a broad enough overview to enable us to attain a fresh perspective of our own. But because each anthology features many intriguing minor pieces not easily found elsewhere, both may serve as useful supplements for readers who already own other collections of Victorian writing.

Product Reviews for Thomastik Erhu Set, ER100
Thomastik Erhu Set, ER100Allan JannMarch 1, 2011The Thomastik Erhu strings I bought from JustStrings are of very good quality. Once I replaced my others strings and put these Austrian made strings on, the sound really improved markedly. JustString delivered my order very promptly and even the back-order items arrived just a few days later. I received the same good service for my second order.

The simple design of the Nightstand Pleaser G Vibe hides a powerful motor capable of amazing stimulation. It's design is completely centred on what a women needs to climax and full input from the star of Showtime's hit television series, Gigolo, has helped make it perfectly equipped to please. Nick Hawk gets paid to pleasure women and he's an expert on helping them get their money's worth. The Nightstand Pleaser G Vibe takes his vast amount of knowledge and gives you a wonderfully firm and sleek vibe that has a sensually soft touch. It allows for use of full pressure when you have its shaft inserted and the angled, tapered tip up against the g-spot for a full on massage. And along with that unrelenting feel the Nightstand also vibrates through an impressive array of stimulation modes. Once in position up against the g-spot all it takes is a press of the single button on the bottom to drive it through its various modes of steady, pulsing, and escalating vibrations. Of course the shape is also well suited for some extremely pinpointed stimulation at the clitoris, nipples, head of the penis, and slim enough that you can add it to foreplay and intercourse without much disruption. There's a seal around the battery compartment that keeps this vibrator safe to play with in the tub, and it's made from ABS plastic that's compatible with any type of lubrication so you can coat it with some slick silicone lube that won't break down in the water for a super slick playtime.

Hello list.People from SSSD would like to have a better information when some TLS operation in OpenLDAP library fails, instead of a general LDAP_CONNECT_ERROR. I already mentioned it on this list some time ago:
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-devel/201105/msg00011.htmlI can write a patch for this, but I would like to discuss it with you before.
I already tried something. I added LDAP_TLS_INITIALIZATION_ERROR (-19) and LDAP_TLS_NEGOTIATION_ERROR (-20) API error codes and slightly modified the TLS code in OpenLDAP to propagate the errors. These two new error codes are sufficient for SSSD.
Currently I have covered only the code for Mozilla NSS backend and it still needs some tunings. I would like to know, if adding the error codes this way is acceptable. Should I proceed? Or should it be done a different way?
Thanks & regards, Jan

It's tough, on the waterfront. Filmed on location in Hoboken, New jersey it is violent, with strong language – telling a priest to "go to hell"? Shocking stuff in 1954. Director Elia Kazan, the cast, and Boris Kaufmann, who took the pictures, all come out of this gritty drama covered in glory. Which is more than can be said for the characters in the story.
New York dock workers struggle to eke a living but they are in the grip of the corrupt unions. Of course, it is not true that labor unions were, or are, always corrupt, but hey, it's a story. Terry Malloy (Marlon Brando), his boxing career behind him, hangs around his brother Charley (Rod Steiger) who is lawyer to union boss Johnny Friendly (Lee Cobb). Neither Charley or Johnny are as nice or as honest as they ought to be. We know Terry is nice because he looks after his pigeons on the rooftop and he once showed promise as a boxer. He could have been a contender.
At Johnny's request, Terry asks a union worker to meet him on the roof. When Johnny's henchmen push him off Terry is shocked:
Terry: I figured the worst they was gonna do was lean on him a little bit…
Truck: A canary. Maybe he could sing but he couldn't fly.
Terry starts to feel guilty when he meets the victim's sister, Edie (Eva Marie Saint). No wonder, she's the sweet sort of dame who would make any red blooded young man feel guilty about something. Through her he meets Father Barry (Karl Malden) who persuades Terry to give the information that will finish the racketeering on the docks.
Method acting triumphs in On the Waterfront.
All this acclaim, plus the box office success, was well deserved. The dialogue is tight and simple, the brooding tenements and docks are starkly and realistically portrayed. The drama unfolds with menace. The actors are all convincing, even the smaller parts for thugs. Cobb and Steiger make truly villainous villains. For Steiger in particular this is perhaps his finest performance.
Brando's performance as the inarticulate former pug whose inherent decency forces him, reluctantly, to take on the hoodlums is magnificent. And yet, in the much-parodied car scene in which he delivers the 'contender' speech, he is almost acted off the screen by Steiger.
Barry Norman, 100 Best Films of the Century
The memorable scene is where Terry climbs into the back of the car with his brother Steiger who wants to do him a favour. He wants him to get the chip off his shoulder and hang out with the thugs as before.
Certainly, Terry does not feel he owes his brother anything:
Marlon Brando
Remember that night in the Garden you came down to my dressing room and you said, "Kid, this ain't your night. We're going for the price on Wilson." You remember that? "This ain't your night"! My night! I coulda taken Wilson apart! So what happens? He gets the title shot outdoors on the ballpark and what do I get? A one-way ticket to Palooka-ville! You was my brother, Charley, you shoulda looked out for me a little bit. You shoulda taken care of me just a little bit so I wouldn't have to take them dives for the short-end money …. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it.

Erik Stam is Professor of Economics at the Faculty of Law, Economics and Governance. Within the strategic theme of 'Institutions for Open Societies', Stam primarily conducts research in the research theme Institutions for Innovation and Welfare, with a specific focus on entrepreneurship. His research is perfectly suited to our open society in which institutions play an important role. Institutions are, in this sense, the rules established by people which both restrict and enable our behaviour – rules with which entrepreneurs are confronted on a daily basis.
"You have to know which rules influence entrepreneurship"
"If you study entrepreneurship and institutions, society is your laboratory. After all, you have to know which rules influence entrepreneurship – whether they're the rules of society, companies or policymakers." To establish which rules are essential, Stam's research leads him to frequently engage with society. Young entrepreneurial companies like &samhoud and UtrechtInc. serve as valuable sparring partners and provide a vast source of knowledge. Stam passes this knowledge on to students who follow his lectures on Entrepreneurship. Consequently, Stam hopes his research can make a substantial contribution to the decision-making processes relating to entrepreneurship, both within companies and the government.

Article continues below ...
Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand is expected to agree a new contract with the club early next week.
Ferdinand, who has spent over a decade at United under Sir Alex Ferguson, has not yet agreed an extension on his current deal that runs out this summer.
And the 34-year-old, who won his sixth Premier League title this season, announced on Wednesday he was retiring from England duty in order to concentrate on club matters.
And United boss Ferguson said: "I think it is something he could have done last year.
"Ending his international career will definitely help him, as it did with Paul Scholes, and hopefully Manchester United will get the benefit of that."

Richard Peacock has joined Kames Capital as co-manager of the £455m Kames Property Income fund.
The appointment was announced towards the end of last year following previous co-manager Alex Walker's decision to leave the firm for a career break.
Peacock is managing the fund alongside existing co-manager and Kames' property investment director David Wise, who he reports to. He is responsible for the team supporting the fund, which includes three assistant fund managers; Gregory Beeson, Karen Fox and Ric Tsang.
The Kames Property Income fund aims to provide income and capital growth by investing in commercial property. While the fund was unusual in remaining open following the Brexit vote, it was the worst hit in the three months following Brexit, according to analysis by Hargreaves Lansdown, with returns of negative 8.8 per cent over the period.
Peacock was previously at Aviva Investors where he had worked since 2005, most recently as the fund manager on Aviva Investors Pensions, a £1.2bn open-ended property fund for UK pension schemes.
Wise says: "Looking back over an interesting year for the UK property sector, our team was able to navigate the post-Brexit property shock which saw many of our competitor funds closing their doors to redemptions, while our fund remained open.
"Property remains a key focus for Kames in 2017, and we believe the appointment of Richard and the wealth of experience he brings, combined with that of the highly experienced existing team, will ensure that we are well positioned to continue maximise the opportunities that the sector presents."
He adds: "Richard's appointment also ensures the continuation of the strength and depth of the Kames Active Value property investment strategies which target properties in the £3 million to £20m price range, where pricing is attractive. These assets are often too big for most private buyers, but too small for many bigger fund managers."

Rating – 5 stars (I received an ARC of this as a cheerleader for Susan Mallery)
I decided a while back that there is a secret club romance authors have never told us readers about. In this club, they get together and decide that when writing Christmas romance books they will scale back the steam considerably. So, if you have an author like Susan who is typically 20-30 shades of gray, those shades are dialed back to about 5-10 for the Christmas book. I don't understand the phenomenon, but that is usually the reason I will never enjoy a Christmas romance from a favorite author as much as their other books.
I'm happy to report this book is the exception. If you've read my previous posts, Two of A Kind is my favorite Fool's Gold romance to date. I loved Gideon and Felicia. I suppose then it's only natural that I'm going to love this book since it's the romance of Gideon's twin brother Gabriel and Noelle, owner of the Christmas store in FG. This book gives us lots more of Gideon and Felicia (loved her freak out about cooking Thanksgiving dinner) as well as introducing us to Gabriel and Gideon's parents.
Gabriel is on leave due to a hand injury. He is also suffering from some burnout. He meets Noelle and decides to help her out in her store through Christmas – mostly to avoid spending a lot of time with his parents and especially his father (the scene where his father finally tries to connect with Gabriel – too funny yet sweet). Noelle and Gabriel each have their own demons to overcome and are going about them in different ways. Gabriel feels it's best to live life alone so you're not hurt when someone dies. Noelle feels you should live life to the fullest because you never know when it will end. Watching her unknowingly yet eventually winning Gabriel over to her side of thinking is sweet and perfect for a Christmas romance.
Now – why did I LOVE this book compared to other Christmas books enough to go to 5 stars? First, the story is so good and engaging you don't miss the steam typical of a FG romance. Second, I love the fact that the town refuses to bow to political correctness and decides to call their tree a CHRISTMAS TREE!! That whole section of the book was great. Finally, Eddie and Gladys. Do I have to say more? Their comments at the end of the book had me laughing out loud. Note to Susan – I will be first in line to by "The Butts of Fool's Gold" calendar. Just sayin'.
Fool's Gold is the land of happy endings so of course you know how it will end, but it doesn't matter because it's worth the ride. I hope you give it a try and enjoy it as much as I did.

WASHINGTON — Drugmaker Medimmune is recalling nearly 5 million doses of swine flu vaccine because the nasal spray appears to lose strength over time.
The Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday that the vaccine is safe and patients who received the product should be protected from the H1N1 virus.
The FDA says the vast majority of the doses have already been distributed and used. Agency officials say the vaccine met potency specifications when it was distributed in October and November.
Last week, another vaccine maker recalled swine flu shots for children because tests indicated those doses lost some strength.
