The city's major brokerage firms reported that prices in 4Q2009 in the Manhattan property market had decreased from a year ago while sales had risen. I expect this trend to continue into early 2010.
Prudential Douglas Elliman and Miller Samuel reported that the median sales price of an apartment in 4Q2009 was US$810,000 (RM2.7 million), down 10% compared to a year ago. There were 2,473 transactions, up 8.4% compared to last year, and 11% compared to last quarter. The activity is more than double the 1,195 transactions in 1Q2009. Average price psf was US$1,176, flat compared to a year ago. Brown Harris Stevens and Halstead, both owned by Terra Holdings, reported median price of US$800,000, 9% lower than a year ago. There were 2,519 sales, 9% higher than a year ago.

Q: How can I get data tables to be refreshed in Spotfire if I am using a data function to import data from Qualtrics? I am using the package qualtRics in TERR in Spotfire to pull in data directly from specific surveys in Qualtrics. The code I am using is:
registerApiKey(API.TOKEN = "xxxx")
df <- getSurvey(surveyID = "xxxx",
                root_url = "https://az1.qualtrics.com", verbose = TRUE)

My output df is a data table. I have 2 different surveys that I am pulling in 4 different times, 2 of those times I am unpivoting data, for a total of 4 data tables.
I want to be able to refresh this data. If I click Reload Data or try to refresh each table individually, nothing happens. I'm assuming I need to add some code that refreshes the data function (?), and I am trying to avoid replacing the data tables each time because, for 2 of those, I have to manually select which columns I am unpivoting (and I have 75+ columns).
Is there a way I can accomplish what I'm looking for? I am a beginner Spotfire/R user, so I am learning as I go!

A: I am not able to reply to your question as i dont have enough permission so keeping it as separate answer.
Replacing table each time is good idea,
By This you can fix your no of columns for pivoting/UnPivoting.
------R Code
row <- data.frame(Data_Points = nrows,
    Col1 = col1, Col2 = col2, YStart = y1, YEnd = y2)
row <- cbind(df, row)
  return(row)
And also you can list your fix columns into DocumentProperty and loop it into your DataFunction.

A: Instead of using spotfire's pivot/unpivot, you can try doing the unpivot within the R code of the data function.


Saracens Women travel to Gloucester-Hartpury for the first leg of the Tyrrells Premier 15s semi final.
Rob Cain has made one change to the starting squad that toppled Bristol Ladies last week as Hannah Botterman comes in at loose head prop to replace the injured El Perry. Kat Evans and Sam Martinez Gion join her in the front row. Sarries veteran Sonia Green continues in the engine room alongside Tessa Wijmans and the formidable back row trio of Marlie Packer, Bryony and Poppy Cleall remains unchanged.
The back line remains the same with Lotte Clapp wearing the captain's armband on the wing, joined by Emma Uren and Nina Vistisen in the back three. Helena Rowland and Lauren Cattell partner up in the midfield with Georgie Gulliver and Zoe Harrison selected as the half back pairing.
England U20's lock Rosie Galligan returns from injury to feature amongst the replacements along with Sarah Barber who is called into the match day 22s.
Gloucester-Hartpury have made three changes from the line-up that defeated Loughborough Lightning last time out. England international Ellie Kildunne returns at full-back, Wales international Cerys Hale will start in the second row in place of the injured Molly Morrissey while Milly Wallis gets the nod at blindside flanker.
Sarries came away with a comfortable 33-7 win last time they travelled to Gloucester-Hartpury in round six, thanks to a brace from winger Garnet Mackinder, scores from Sonia Green, Rosie Galligan, Harriet Austin and points from the boots of April Brown and Zoe Harrison.
The return leg at Allianz Park in February was a different affair as Gloucester-Hartpury clawed back a fourteen point deficit, scoring two late tries through Ellie Underwood Mary-Ann Gittings to earn a 29-29 draw in a thrilling encounterr.
Rob Cain told Saracens.com: "With knock out rugby anything can happen so we want to make sure we that we really focus on the small details to make the big things happen. We've grown together throughout the campaign and are now ready for the challenge ahead.
Gloucester-Hartpury coach Suzie Appleby told their club website: "Saracens are an excellent side and have been the most consistent in the league this season, they have big ball carriers and a lot of pace in their back line. They are also one of the best defensive teams in the league. However, we scored five tries against them up at Allianz Park which gives us a lot of confidence and self-belief. We know we may get limited opportunities and we need to be accurate and ready to take them.

Jack Sperling (17. august 1922 i New Jersey – 26. februar 2004 i Los Angeles, Californien) var en amerikansk trommeslager.

Sperling huskes nok bedst som klarinetisten Pete Fountain´s trommeslager, men han har også spillet med feks. Henry Mancini, Frank Sinatra, Glenn Miller bigband, Ella Fitzgerald, Dean Martin, Benny Goodman, Chet Atkins, Harry Belafonte. etc.

Han har også været sideman på film indspilninger og tv. serier såsom Bonanza, Peter Gunn etc.

Sperling var meget alsidig stillistisk, men må huskes nok mest for sit egagement i bigband´s.

Just four days after Jackie Hudson died the Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action came together for its annual Hiroshima/Nagasaki weekend gathering. Jackie's spirit was present throughout. Singer/songwriter/peace activist Holly Gwinn Graham was there and was moved to write a song for Jackie. She named it Jackie's Waltz, and she sang it for us for the first time on a lovely Summer's eve on the lawn in front of the Ground Zero meeting-house where Jackie lived and worked. Here is a rare opportunity to hear Jackie's Waltz as Holly first shared it with us.
Indeed, it is hard to tell. Yet one of the keys, as Jackie so often reminded us and does so even now, is remaining faithful if we are to stay the course and do the hard work in such difficult struggles as the one to abolish nuclear weapons.
Thank you Jackie for your faith, your hope, and your clarity of vision that always kept you centered and a beacon to us all.
Click here to read the obituary in the Grand Rapids Press.
This tribute to Jackie Hudson, 1934 to 2011, includes video clips from 2010 and 2011 captured by Rod Herold, Cascadia Media Productions.
Editor's Note: Anabel and David Dwyer sent this in honor of Jackie's life, and it was included as an insert in the memorial bulletin on Saturday, August 13th.
So many years of faithful, courageous, kind, steadfast and joyful work to rid ourselves of hideous, grotesque nuclear weapons. Can we now take up your skillful lead to stop this idiocy?
Jackie Hudson, Order of Preachers, Presente!
Peter starts to walk on the water, and the strong wind frightens him, and he begins to sink.
The winds of violence, the winds of discouragement, of indifference and contempt for human life are all around us. It's hard to even breath sometimes, much less keep on walking on unchartered waters.

Q: How to perform wildcard search in MongoDB using Java I am just getting to use MongoDB!
Was trying out with variety of search features supported here.
I could search for a document, say containing name=MongoDB with the following options (irrespective of the case) - goDB, Mongo, go. Working out to search for the document in the following options - Mon*DB, *on*DB. That is, having multiple wild-card in the same search text.
Any pointers would be appreciated!

A: You can do a Regular expression match on fields in Mongo, here's how you'd do the first of your patterns:
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("Mon.*DB", CASE_INSENSITIVE);
BasicDBObject query = new BasicDBObject("name", p);

// finds all records with "name" matching /Mon.*DB/i
DBCursor cursor = collection.find(query);

Be careful, though, many regular expression matches require a full table scan. This means that if you run them against a large collection, the engine will have to iterate over all the documents (probably hitting disk) and check each individually for a match. This is much slower than queries that use indexes.
The only regular expressions that will hit an index are case sensitive prefix matches. You could search for all "Mon*" like this and use an index:
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("^Mon.*");
BasicDBObject query = new BasicDBObject("name", p);

// finds all records with "name" matching /^Mon.*/
DBCursor cursor = collection.find(query);

Delta Force is configured into three levels of troops. The smallest unit is a single team consisting of four to five members. Each team is formed by their specialized skills in HALO/HAHO, SCUBA and many other talents and abilities.
The next level of Delta Force is the Troop Level. This rank consists of four to five teams and like the smallest unit, the teams are formed by the individuals specialized skills.
The Squadron level, the third level of the Delta Force, has four squadrons consisting of two troops, Assault and Sniper. These squadrons are broken down into troops and teams, as needed, to fulfill the mission requirements.
Although not known for certain due to the secrecy of the unit, it is rumored that Delta Force consists of having nearly 1,000 operators. Approximately 250 of those operators are trained to conduct investigation and direct action missions. These 250 soldiers are sectioned into three troops. Two of the troops are assault troops, as the third troop (commonly known as the "Recce" troop) specializes in exploration and surveillance. The remaining 750 Delta Force soldiers are highly trained specialists in mechanics, communications, intelligence and other support divisions. It is also reported that Delta sustains an aviation platoon consisting of civilian looking aircraft with false identification numbers, obviously to blend with other aircraft and not draw attention. It is rumored this aviation platoon consists of as many as twelve aircraft.

Only Arabica coffee is grown in Nicaragua. The production area occupying more than 100 thousand hectares takes place primarily in the northern and central areas of the mountains.
The highest plantations (600-1500 m) of the Central American countries may be found here, for which the tropical climate and volcanic soil is favorable. So, the Nicaraguan coffee is of good quality, with distinctive, fruity aromas.
In spite of the excellent environmental conditions, the coffee came to Nicaragua relatively late, in the second half of the nineteenth century. The newcomer spreaded quite fastly; the government offered a reward of five cents for the planting of each coffee shrub, thus encouraging the establishment of plantations.
One hundred years later, in 1992, they have planted more coffee than any other crop. The coffee recompensed the confidence invested in it and contributed significantly to the economic and environmental development of the country. However, the road to success was very long.
The economic growth was followed by a devastating earthquake, authoritarian regimes, insurrections, the Cold War and the Civil War. The coffee industry barely managed to survive this series of misfortunes, it soon faced another difficulty: in 1998, a hurricane destroyed the coffee plantations ensuring the livelihoods of tens of thousands of farmers and roads required for the transportation of crops.
The next disaster was the coffee crisis in 1999-2003, which, together with frequent droughts put an end to the rise of coffee industry. Coffee prices have sunk so low that even the harvest was loss-making, so the fruits were not harvested. The farmers had no money for the maintenance of their lands and their children's education, so they mostly emigrated or lived by social assistance.
Thanks to the land reform fought out by the trade unions, finally thousands of families obtained plantations again. The co-operatives began to organize themselves to adapt more easily to the new demands of coffee.
Today, the largest umbrella organization is the Nicaraguan Coffee Small Producers Co-operatives Association (Asociación de Cooperativas de Pequeños Productores de Café de Nicaragua, CAFENICA) compacts more than 80% of the smallholder businesses committed to Fairtrade.
It also represents their economic and political interests at national and international level both. 95% of the workers are working at the 45-thousand small, micro and small enterprises who produce high quality specialty coffees.
In the eighties, the organic coffee culture of Fair Trade began to spread in Nicaragua. A growing emphasis was put on infrastructure development, quality assurance programs, vocational training, scholarships, environmental projects and the boosting of agro-eco-tourism within the framework of export-oriented small farmers' organizations.
The transportation of the coffee became to grow faster due to the continuous development of infrastructure, so the coffee quality also improved.
Coffee is Nicaragua's main export, which provided approximately $ 200 million in revenue annually and created more than 280 thousand jobs, which is a considerable achievement in a country of six million people struggling with a nearly 50% unemployment.
The vast majority of Nicaraguan coffee is cultivated in the shade (95%) of trees. This results in a tastier, sweeter coffee, whereas the fruits grow slower in the shadow, while it's natural sugar content remains higher.
On the other hand, the coffee will also be healthier, because the plant may grow up in it's natural environment, in an organic way (without the need of a fertilizer). The family-run businesses plant the coffee in the shade of different exotic, indigenous tree species -such as avocado or orange- to preserve forests and maintain biodiversity.
The coffee compensates the persistent efforts by Nicaraguan coffee growers by creating jobs and high-quality exportable products, the protection and sustainable management of soil and water and the promoting of wildlife.

What do you notice on her CXR?
Our patient has a lapband. This device was used in the past for weight loss surgery but is no longer favored because of band migration and erosion. This is an important part of the history to obtain because of the complications associated with weight loss surgery.
A brief synopsis of the evolution of weight loss surgery follows. These surgeries are intended for those with a BMI of 30 or greater.
Vomiting-- be aware the anastomosis with the stomach can stenose causing the equivalent of an esophageal food impaction. Internal hernias, and edema of the anastomosis can result as well as anastomotic ulcers.
2. Lap band- is much less invasive but done less often now because of migration of the band and erosion of the esophagus. This occurs in about 2% of patients. These patients present with vomiting.
3. Gastric sleeve- removes 80% of the stomach. Consider a ruptured staple line if the pt presents with a GI bleed.
4. Duodenal switch- leaves the pyloris intact and is associated with fewer anastomotic ulcers. It is more effective at curing diabetes. These patients are more likely to develop malnutrition and thiamine/vitamin deficiencies.
5. Intragastric balloons- are having a resurgence but the Orbera Intragastric balloon and ReShape integrated dual balloon system have recently been implicated in 12 deaths including perforation of the stomach, perforation of the esophagus , pancreatitis and spontaneous hyperinflation of the balloon.
this procedure leads to weight loss with the possibility of malnutrition especially thiamine deficiency.
Our patient had esophagitis with thickening of the distal esophagus found on CT. The CT was done to ro rib fractures since she would be predisposed to malnutrition.. She was referred back to her bariatric surgeon. Remember, any patient with a gastric bypass can present with Wernicke's.

Mine, 1:00 PM, 1/1/2013, Nelson, New Zealand, 41°18 0"S / 173°13'10"E.
Sample Loom: it is not that I dislike the loom nor the warp that this loom has the same warp as it did in 2011, but it must mean I have not done much contemplative weaving in a while. I do vacuum the top of the warp often, in fact.
Klik: Nth sample for the Friendship piece is still on. I have plans for this warp.
Thorp: toddler blanket to be.
Off to a wonderful, colorful, productive or relaxing, even-tensioned year, everybody!
Meg, I love the warp on your sample loom. Please work on it. Is there enough for a scarf or is it wider for fabric.
Wasn't sure if we were doing "what's on the loom". We spent most of the afternoon walking in the Kaimai bush but I made it!
Oh, no, I fully intend to weave it. It's just that sort of umplanned, supposedly spontaneous weaving requires a bit of... ummm... planning in terms of mindset, you see.
Happy new year and I love your multi coloured warp.
Thanks, Marion, and a lovely 2013 to you, too.
I couldn't leave a comment on yours today, Jane. I wanted to say... "I hear backstrap loom is hard on the body, so take it easy, but it's something I've always wanted to do because if one feels so closely involved on the RH, backstrap must be even more so! Your 30yearsagotoday sounds fascinating. It's a far more personal version than my reading The Assassin's Cloak. Did your grandmother leave without her handbag on 1 Jan?? I hope you have a lovely 2013, Jane."
It started out not so much as "what's on the loom" but more "in appreciation of our looms" but what the heck, thanks, ladies.
Hi Meg, not quite weaving in progress so hopefully the view of my loom will change before too long!
Hi, Meg, I've posted my "state of the loom" report on my blog (sandrarude.blogspot.com). Hope the ankle is better today!
We're all weavers, so no need to qualify! Glad to see you all.
My foot is in a hilarious predicament - it's very purple and hot in spite of the anti-inflamatory cream, it's so swollen it won't go inside any shoes, walking on it doesn't hurt at all, but it feels like a latex glove filled with grape juice - it vibrates when I put my foot down. It also looks like a toddler's foot - so puffy and soft and no wrinkles. And not a lot of my anatomy has got no wrinkles, so there is a plus side after all!
Tomorrow perhaps I'm hoping it will turn all purple and more dramatic. For now it just looks a bit... silly.
New Loom for the New Year! (And hopefully the clean, de-stank heddles!) I hope you have a lovely time with your first warp.

'E-nose' could deliver perfectly cooked chicken every time
Posted: 14 January 2021 | Joshua Minchin (New Food) | 1 comment
A research team from Moscow says it can identify when your chicken has been grilled just right, without even smelling or seeing it…
Researchers from Skoltech (The Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology in Moscow) have found a way to use chemical sensors and computer vision to determine when grilled chicken is cooked just right.
These tools could help restaurants monitor and automate cooking processes in their kitchens, and perhaps one day even end up in your 'smart' oven, say researchers.
Safe to eat chicken
How do you tell that chicken breast on your grill is ready for your plate? You probably look at it closely, check the colour and temperature, and smell it to make sure it is done the way you like it. However, if you are a restaurant chef or head cook at a huge industrial kitchen, you cannot really rely on your eyes and nose to ensure uniform results up to the standards your customers expect.
As such, the hospitality industry has been actively looking for cheap, reliable and sensitive tools to replace subjective human judgment with automated quality control.
The e-nose
Professor Albert Nasibulin of Skoltech and Aalto University, Skoltech senior research scientist Fedor Fedorov and their colleagues decided to develop an 'e-nose': an array of sensors detecting certain components of an odour, to 'sniff' the cooking chicken and a computer vision algorithm to 'look' at it.
According to the research team, 'e-noses' are simpler and less expensive to operate than, for example, a gas chromatograph or a mass spectrometer, and they have even been shown to be able to detect various types of cheeses or pick out rotten apples or bananas. On the other hand, computer vision can recognise visual patterns – for example, to detect cracked cookies.
"To determine whether food is 'done' or not, one cannot rely on an 'e-nose' only, but instead has to use computer vision. These tools give you a so-called 'electronic panel' (a panel of electronic 'experts'). Building on the great experience in computer vision techniques of our colleagues from Skoltech CDISE, together we tested the hypothesis that, when combined, computer vision and an electronic nose provide more precise control over cooking," Nasibulin said.
The team chose to combine these two techniques to monitor the cooking of food accurately and in a contactless manner. They picked chicken meat, which is popular across the world, and grilled chicken breast (bought at a local Moscow supermarket) to 'train' their instruments to evaluate and predict how well it was cooked.
The researchers built their own 'e-nose,' with eight sensors detecting smoke, alcohol, CO, and other compounds, as well as temperature and humidity, and put it into the ventilation system. They also took photos of the grilled chicken and fed the information to an algorithm that specifically looks for data patterns.
To define changes in odour consistent with the various stages of a grilling process, scientists used thermogravimetric analysis (to monitor the number of volatile particles for the 'e-nose' to detect), differential mobility analysis to measure the size of aerosol particles, and mass spectrometry.
But perhaps the most important part of the experiment involved 16 PhD students and researchers who taste-tested a lot of grilled chicken breast to rate its tenderness, juiciness, intensity of flavour, appearance, and overall 'doneness' on a 10-point scale. This data was matched to the analytical results to test the latter against human perception, who will after all end up eating the chicken.
The team have reported that their system was able to identify undercooked, well-cooked and overcooked chicken quite well, so much so that it could potentially automate quality control in a kitchen setting. The authors do however note, that to use their technique on other parts of the chicken – such as legs or wings – or for a different cooking method, the electronic 'nose' and 'eyes' would have to be retrained with new data.
The researchers now plan to test their sensors in restaurant kitchen environments.
Smelling spoilt meat
One other potential application of this technology could be 'sniffing out' rotten meat at the very early stages when changes in its smell profile would still be too subtle for a human nose.
"We believe these systems can be integrated into industrial kitchens and even in usual kitchens as a tool that can help and advise about the 'doneness' degree of your meat, when direct temperature measurement is not possible or not effective," Fedorov said.
The paper detailing the results of this study, which was supported by a Russian Science Foundation grant, was published in the journal Food Chemistry.

Top Ten Tuesdays – Bruce Willis
September 15, 2015 September 15, 2015 carlosnightman
Greetings, glancers! Today's TTT post unveils my favourite 10 films by Mr Bruce Willis, a man primarily known for his action movie work but who has had a massively varied career and is an accomplished comic and dramatic actor. Possibly this list will be the first to get a lot of varying opinions when compared with the previous actors and directors I have covered precisely because Willis has appeared in so many different genres. Willis has effectively towed the line between blockbuster and smaller/indie film perhaps better than any other actor, appearing in an incredible number of successes and of course contributing to those successes thanks to his ability. I won't comment on his work as a musician (I haven't heard any), though I will remind everyone of his Emmy-Award winning beginnings as a comic actor – he has returned to TV regularly over the years including memorable work in Friends and Bruno The Kid (as a voice actor). I will add that there are quite a few films I have not yet seen by Willis so if you add your favourites in the comments I will reply to let everyone know which ones I've missed.
10. Death Becomes Her
I'm going to cheat a little with this first one – it's by no means the best film Willis has made, and I was torn between including this and any number of his other action or thriller oriented movies, but I felt that the list needed a little comedy so here we are. Death Becomes Her sees Willis at his most un-Willis – there is little of the world-weary wise-cracking hard-ass persona we know from his most famous features, instead he is a broken down, weak-willed husband who wants an easy way out of a loveless marriage. Turning the tables later though he refuses to consume the elixir of life as that would meaning spending an eternity with women he despises. Willis is very funny in the frustrated husband role, acting as a great foil to Streep and Hawn, and he picked up a Golden Globe nomination in the process.
9. Hostage
I'm sure many of you will be surprised at this selection, and many of you may not have even heard of the movie. Indeed, when I first chose to watch it I assumed it was going to be an average thriller, Willis just cashing a cheque, so I was happily surprised at how good it actually is. I should say at the outset that while Willis is very good, it is Ben Foster who steals the film in an alarmingly good performance – why this man hasn't won an Oscar yet is a mystery – I hear he is set to play Lance Armstrong in an upcoming film which has Oscar-bait written all over it. Back to Hostage, and we follow Willis as a former Hostage negotiator (Talley) who denies an order and sees a family slaughtered. Living as a small time police chief some time later, he again becomes embroiled in a hostage crisis as three teenagers hold a family at gunpoint during an apparent failed robbery. Talley is reluctant to get involved, but as the violence escalates he is forced into action.
The film is an effective action thriller with a few twists as we learn more about the motives of the hostages. Willis plays the tortured figure well, and his call to arms feels genuine, and while the surrounding cast is strong the film is owned by Foster, whose mysterious killer character is never truly revealed. With a less effective lead, or in the hands of one not as convincing as Willis the film would not have been as watchable – it's a difficult one to describe to entice your typical action fan into watching, but there is a fair amount of tension and gun play which is both gripping and brutal. I would heartily recommend everyone giving this a shot.
8. Beavis And Butthead Do America.
Given that the TV show which the movie was based on is one of my favourites of all time, it was a given that this be included in my list. While movies based on TV shows are rarely much good, this feels like an extended episode given the fact that the same main players are fully involved. The film follows our awkward teen pair across America in search of sluts and their stolen TV. Along the way they get mistaken for hitmen by Muddy (Willis) who wants them to 'do' his wife (Demi Moore). Believing they are getting paid to have sex with a hot woman, they pair accept not realizing that they are supposed to kill her. This kicks off a chain of events as every cop in the country chases them down, they meet the President, laugh at place names, drop peyote with possibly their own parents, annoy Mr Anderson etc etc. Willis plays the gruff, alcoholic Muddy well – the in-joke of Willis and Moore being married in reality is not overplayed – and he even manages to get a few laughs. The film is packed with stupid jokes and funny moments so it's one to enjoy again and again.
7. Unbreakable.
While not nearly as successful, critically or commercially, as their previous outing together – M.Night Shyamalan and Willis struck gold again with Unbreakable – a film which feels on the surface to be another supernatural thriller up until its closing moments when the classic Shyamalan twist comes in. The twist here isn't as much of a shock as in The Sixth Sense, indeed most viewers should have worked it all out before the end of the film, but that isn't what sets the movie apart. It's a slow burning, gloom-riden, rain-soaked drama featuring two stellar turns from Willis and Samuel L Jackson. It's also arguably the greatest origin story of a superhero ever told, with Willis as a downbeat, life-going-nowhere family man who realises his remarkable gifts and begins to slowly use them to save people, but also be drawn into a horrific good versus evil battle. As with such films, I don't want to give too much away if you haven't seen it, but Willis is superb as the man whose family is falling apart only to realize the power he has possessed and possibly ignored his whole life. Equally strong is Jackson as the man who finds and mentors Willis, a wheelchair bound comic book fan who has been bullied for much of his life and sees meeting Willis as a chance to give both of their lives purpose. There isn't a load of action on show here, but in the same way The Sixth Sense weighed up its light number of scares to give the impression of an efficient whole, the films rumbles along as we hope to see Willis become the hero he was born to be.
6. Sin City
The most visually impressive and stylized film on the list is also one which sees Willis play a smaller role in a much larger ensemble cast. Willis once again plays the downtrodden, battered cop – this time Hartigan – a man whose selfless, or couldn't-give-a-damn-about-himself nature allows him to sacrifice himself multiple times to save the life of an innocent, tracking down a ruthless and untouchable killer and trying to bring an end to corruption in a city borne of it. It's difficult for any single cast member to stand out in a film whose visual nature means that those characters with a certain look will instantly be the most memorable, but amidst Rourke, Wood, Alba, Stahl and the rest, Willis does stand out as one of the few good guys, a plain cop just trying to do his job in a world that couldn't be less black or white.
5. Die Hard With A Vengeance
One of the finest action sequels ever made, this third outing reunites Willis with the original's director John McTiernan and reunites John McClane with the Gruber clan. The film sees McClane as a washed-up alcoholic shade of his former self, having lost his marriage to Holly and become estranged from everyone he cared about. Living on his past glories and pissing off everyone he meets, McClane is reluctantly forced back into the line of fire after a terrorist asks for him specifically. Sporting a delightfully racist sentiment in the middle of Harlem, McClane is 'rescued' by Zeus Carver (Samuel L Jackson) and the two find themselves in a deadly game of cat and mouse with a psychotic terrorist named Simon.
The film is split in two parts – the first focusing on the race through New York to foil Simon's plans – and the second being the realization of who Simon really is and the plan to take him down. While the second half cannot maintain the frantic mayhem and momentum of the glorious first half, the wit of the main players and the stellar script from Jonathan Hensleigh. Willis is at his fast-talking, quick-thinking best once again and his interaction with both Jackson and Irons are a joy to watch. Taking the one-man army trope to the streets of NYC and giving it the full 90s makeover leaves DHWAV as one of the best action movies of the decade.
4. Pulp Fiction
Similar to Sin City in that Willis has a smaller role in an ensemble cast, it proved again that he could branch out into areas unknown – his character in Pulp Fiction being different from both the comedy and action performances he was known for up to this point. It isn't the first dramatic role or indie film Willis appeared it, but it was arguably the first that brought his talents to the attention of an up and coming breed of fans and filmmakers who saw that they could use him as more than just a gun-totting maniac. Here he is an opportunist, a man who decides to not take the easy way and instead try for once to be noble and heroic, even if it may cost him his life. Willis doesn't get many lines, but does contribute to a few of the movie's most memorable scenes.
The film which made him a movie star, and one which is frequently cited as the best action movie ever made, Die Hard is as flawless a film as you are ever likely to see – a spectacle of carnage with gripping story, wonderful characters, timeless action, and a superb cast. I won't spend too much time talking about this one as I assume everyone reading it has seen it, but it contains Willis in his most iconic role giving maybe his best all round performance. Alan Rickman does his best to steal every scene he is in, but Willis holds his own and cements his place as one of the best action performers ever.
2. The Last Boy Scout
An all-time personal favourite of mine, and easily one of the best action movies of the 90s, The Last Boy Scout is a self-referential, ultra-violent, misogynistic riot – taking all of the elements, good and bad, of the 80s action movie and turning them inside out. Willis is excellent as Joe Hallenback, yet again a washed up version of former glory. He was a secret service agent who once saved the President's life but has since become disgraced, bitter, and drunk, with a wife and daughter who despise him. Joe takes a job as Halle Berry's bodyguard to the annoyance of former NFL star Jimmy Dix (Marlon Wayans). Berry is murdered shortly after, and Joe and Jimmy uncover a case of corruption and murder whilst trying to not get themselves killed.
The partnership of Wayans and Willis is superb, so much so that I'm annoyed that they haven't starred together again. It seems like a match made in heaven here, and when you thrown Danielle Harris, Taylor Negron, and others into the mix we have one of the best acted films of its type. This would not be enough to make the film a classic – it takes the assured direction of Tony Scott, and the glorious screenplay by Shane Black – again one of the best of the decade – to ensure it reaches the highest level. It's rare that such a violent film contains so many one-liners and hilarious moments, but this one is literally a laugh a minute with quotable dialogue from all quarters. If you can look past the nasty stuff, and of course the fact that almost all of the women are treated as fodder, then you should absolutely adore this. I've no idea why this isn't as revered as Willis' more famous action work – I implore all action fans to seek it out.
1. The Fifth Element
Recalling any number of sci-fi films, from Blade Runner to Stargate, from Star Trek to Metropolis, The Fifth Element is nevertheless a triumphantly unique tour de force by Luc Besson. A stellar cast, a visionary director, and a brilliant story ensure that this is a feast for the eyes, mind, and heart – an endlessly entertaining, camp, futuristic film which is certain to be seen as both a cult film and a culturally significant one in decades to come.
Willis stars as Korben Dallas, a washed-up (even 200 years in the future Willis can't get clean) 23rd Century former marine turned taxi driver whose life is interrupted by the literal dropping in of the perfect Milla Jovovich – an apparent alien who is being chased by all manner of cops and critters. After (and before) that the plot gets a little too convoluted to cover in a brief blog post, but basically Dallas has to protect Jovovich from Gary Oldman and The Great Evil and save the Universe. Along the way we meet Ian Holm, Chris Tucker, Luke Perry and others, and we learn that love is the key.
Aside from the strong action, great dialogue and performances, the film is one of the most visually stunning that I've seen – a detailed, realistic future world with all of the decay, pollution, vanity, and wealth/status gap we are familiar with today, just with more aliens and flying cars. Willis is playing his usual robust self with a little more heart, and while his own comic turn is dialled down a little, he is allowed to increase his manic everyman side and show some lighter emotions. It is a film which may polarize, but is a rampant, challenging, always brilliant dream brought to life.

He's very funny in Moonlighting too. I think Die Hard is my favourite film with him in.

Thanks for the comment! I only ever saw a few episodes of it when I was younger, he doesn't get as much credit for being a funny guy

He doesn't, does he? He got a bit typecast after Die Hard. 🙂
carlosnightman September 16, 2015 / 11:54 am
He plays a lot of similar roles, but has at least been in a very wide variety of films

Adam Schiff wanted reporter Paul Sperry's account suspended
US Rep. Adam Schiff tried to get a journalist suspended from Twitter and to have "any and content" related to House Intelligence Committee staffers removed from the site, according to the latest document dump authorized by new owner Elon Musk.
In Tuesday's installment of the ongoing "Twitter Files," independent journalist Matt Taibbi posted a Nov. 20, 2020, email regarding a request from the California Democrat's office to suppress free speech on the social media platform.
Taibbi called it an example of the "astonishing variety of requests from officials asking for individuals they didn't like to be banned."
The journalist in question was Paul Sperry, a Post columnist who in January 2020 wrote an article for RealClearInvestigations about the purported "whistleblower" behind former President Donald Trump's first impeachment, for which Schiff served as a House manager.
In the article, Sperry said then-CIA analyst Eric Ciaramella was overheard talking in the White House with Sean Misko, a holdover staffer from former President Barack Obama's administration.
A former official who reportedly heard the conversation told Sperry, "Just days after [Trump] was sworn in they were already trying to get rid of him."

Misko later left the White House and joined the Intelligence Committee, which Schiff chaired, Sperry reported.
The email posted by Taibbi shows that Schiff's office asked Twitter to take five specific steps that an unidentified company employee said were "related to alleged harassment from QAnon conspiracists."
They included, "Remove any and all content about Mr. Misko and other Committee staff from its service — to include quotes, retweets, and reactions to that content."
In response, another unidentified Twitter employee wrote, "no, this isn't feasible/we don't do that."
Schiff's office also asked for suspension of "the many accounts, including @GregRubini and @paulsperry_, which have repeatedly promoted false QAnon conspiracies and harassed" someone whose name is blacked out.
Paul Sperry wrote an article for RealClearInvestigations about the purported "whistleblower" behind former President Donald Trump's first impeachment.
The Twitter employee responded to that by writing, "we'll review these accounts again but I believe [name blacked out] mentioned only one actually qualified for suspension."
In an email Tuesday, Sperry told The Post, "I have never promoted any 'QAnon conspiracies.' Ever. Not on Twitter. Not anywhere."
"Schiff was just angry I outed his impeachment whistleblower and tried to get me banned," he said. "I challenge Schiff to produce evidence to back up his defamatory remarks to Twitter."
Sperry also said, "This is a scurrilous smear, but par for the course for the unscrupulous Chairman Schiff."
Sperry told Glenn Beck he was permanently suspended from Twitter.
In August, Sperry told conservative commentator Glenn Beck that he was permanently suspended from Twitter in the wake of the FBI search of Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Fla.
"They kicked me off the day after Trump's home was raided, and I was in the middle of tweeting more about the raid and I got a message popping up saying I was permanently suspended. No reasons were given," he said at the time.
On Tuesday, Sperry suggested that Schiff may have been behind that move, saying, "Looks like Schiff's office initially got friction from Twitter gatekeepers. Still, I was banned just a few months after this 'request.'"
"Were there subsequent demands from Schiff? May explain why Twitter would never give me a reason for banning me," he added.
Elon Musk hired a group of journalists to review company records.

Schiff's chief of staff, Patrick Boland, didn't immediately return requests for comment.
After buying Twitter for $44 billion in October, Musk hired a team of independent journalists to review internal company records and report on its prior "free speech suppression."
"The public deserves to know what really happened," the billionaire Tesla founder said in November.
The Twitter Files' first installment focused on The Post's Oct. 2020 reporting on Hunter Biden and his now-infamous laptop.
The first installment detailed Twitter's crackdown on The Post's Oct. 14, 2020, scoop about Hunter Biden's now-infamous laptop, including how the decision was "just freelanced" without the involvement of founder Jack Dorsey, then the company's CEO.
During testimony before a House committee in March 2021, Dorsey said that barring users from sharing the story was a "total mistake."
Other "Twitter Files" documents showed how the FBI reportedly treated the company as its "subsidiary," including through extensive correspondence with Yoel Roth, then Twitter's head of trust and safety, and by flagging accounts that "may potentially constitute violations of Twitter's Terms of Service."
In a statement last month, the FBI downplayed the communications as "nothing more than examples of our traditional, longstanding and ongoing federal government and private sector engagements, which involve numerous companies over multiple sectors and industries."

How Singapore's offshore & onshore sector is keeping in the game while the chips are down.
Over the years, Singapore has leveraged on its strengths in shipbuilding and engineering, steadily growing to become a major player in the offshore sector. Today, the Republic is the largest manufacturer of jack-up rigs, and commands 70 per cent of the global market share. Singapore also has 70 per cent of the global market for the conversion of Floating Production Storage Offloading (FPSO) units.
It must be said that Singapore has been a beneficiary of high oil and gas prices over the past years, which have driven the growth of the marine and offshore engineering sector. In 2013, the industry achieved a record milestone in rig construction and delivery, with the delivery of 31 newly built rigs. Overall, the industry also performed well, hitting a total turnover above the S$15 billion mark.
Within the sector, two companies stand out: Keppel Offshore & Marine and Sembcorp Marine, which are the world's number 1 and number 2 maker of oil rigs. Singapore is also home to a large number of firms in offshore solutions and services such as offshore & marine engineering and construction, vessel owner-operators, shipyards, offshore machine, systems integrator, turnkey engineering and oilfield equipment and tools.
While the oil and gas sector has always been susceptible to boom and bust cycles, the plummet in oil prices in 2015 has nonetheless caught many off-guard with its swiftness and severity. While there has been much debate on the specific factors behind the decline – from more than US$100 per barrel in late 2014 to its current lows of US$30 per barrel – we can trace it primarily to overcapacity from oil-producing nations, as well as a decrease in energy demand from many major economies around the world.
The resultant fallout has severely impacted upstream exploration and production. With oil prices at record lows – and looking set to remain there for some time – most of the oil majors are pulling back on the heavy investment required for such exploration and production activity, preferring to wait it out. In all, the scaling back of exploration and production has resulted in many jobs losses for the sector globally. At the same time, makers of offshore and onshore equipment and platforms, are beginning to see orders dry up – along with cancellations and postponement – putting their bottom lines at risk too.
Having benefited from the upswing in oil prices, Singapore has not been spared from the decline.
Across the board, Singapore's marine and offshore sector has been badly affected, with record low oil prices depressing the demand for exploration and production activities. For 2015, new orders at Keppel Offshore & Marine and Sembcorp Marine fell to their weakest level in six years. In addition, both companies are facing the possibility of major project cancellations from one its major South American clients, Sete Brasil. The Brazilian firm has been facing a corruption investigation involving its client, state-run oil producer Petrobras. Having failed to secure long-term financing, Sete Brasil is now facing the possibility of bankruptcy.
As Sete Brasil is one of the largest clients for jack-up rigs at both Keppel Offshore & Marine and Sembcorp Marine – about 40 per cent of both companies' backlog, according to analysts – the potential fallout is expected to be significant. Across the rest of the industry, investment analysts are also concerned with heightened default or cancellation risks from smaller clients, should oil prices continue to stay depressed.
There are significant differences between drilling for oil and gas offshore and onshore. Fundamentally, offshore oil drillers require more long term investments in floating platforms and rigs. This has translated to opportunities for Singapore's marine and offshore engineering sector, with multi-year contracts to build these deepwater exploration and production platforms. Meanwhile, onshore oil drillers can turn on or off their drilling depending on the price of oil and gas.
Building on its base as a leading oil refinery centre, Singapore has grown to become the regional headquarter of choice for many oil and gas firms. With many decisions affecting regional explorations and production made here, this has attracted oilfield services firms such as Schlumberger, Halliburton, Baker Hughes and Weatherford. Considering everything, Singapore's exposure to the onshore sector is relatively small.
Currently, there is no real consensus as to whether oil prices have truly bottomed out. While some analysts are predicting doomsday scenarios of US$10 to US$20 per barrel, there are also those who have opined that the market has bottomed out with prices set to recover in 2017. Those holding a more optimistic outlook point to the possibility of leaders in oil producing countries coming together to broker a deal to cut oil production output. Meanwhile, US shale oil producers are starting to slash their 2016 capital spending plans, and this could result in a curtailing of the current oil glut that is flooding the market and bringing down prices. With these possibilities in mind, 2016 could yet see a recovery of the market.


Ready … Set … File!
Filing. No one likes to do it. So what happens?
lots of wasted time searching for things.
It's not just the fact that no one likes to file (dang paper cuts!) – many new to filing have no idea what to keep and how to organize it.
I've been filing for 20+ years and when I opened my home based business, I wish I had something like FreedomFiler to get me started off right.
Less than $40 (with shipping) and you not only get pre-printed labels but an easy to understand and follow filing system.
Once you have received your labels, you'll need 25-75 hanging folders, along with a file cabinet or other container meant for hanging folders. Set up takes about an hour to get everything in place. That's it. $40 + about an hour of your time and 2010 is the first you are actually are organized!
When implementing something new, it is always best to look forward and not back. That means all the crap that you have accumulated in whatever system, leave it. Don't try to organize. You can certainly cull out the important stuff (like your original mortgage documents); however, box everything else and label it by year. Chances are, you won't need anything, but if you do, you only have to look through a year's worth of papers, rather than your whole life.
The beginning of a new year is a great time to change. It is natural to believe that things will improve in the next year. Put in place a filing system, and they will.
A huge percentage of the paper that accumulates is literally garbage. Put a wastebasket by the door you bring in the mail. Toss every piece of junk mail before you walk any further. You don't need it cluttering your world and you won't get to it later.
Place one inbox on your desk/counter where all paper goes to be filed.
It is better to file in small batches – 10 minutes here or there can do wonders. You certainly don't want to let the filing stack up so the mere thought of filing makes you feel overwhelmed.
2010 will be my first year as a FreedomFiler. I will continue to use D-A-F-T for my on going projects and e-mail organization; and my financial binder for the accounting stuff. I am adding FreedomFiler to be the end of the process and for those items requiring long term storage.

JSU junior right-hander Ben Tootle already is on the radar screen (and radar guns) of the most major-league scouts. Friday, he was named to the college Player of the Year watch list.
The Oxford product was named to the preseason Brooks Wallace Player of the Year Award Watch List as announced by the College Baseball Foundation.
After leading JSU to the OVC regular-season title, he went to the Cape Cod League in the summer and was simply sizzling. Regularly hitting the radar gun in the high 90s and ocassionally hitting 100, he went 3-3 with five saves and a 1.97 ERA in 22 relief appearances.
After that summer, Baseball America called him the fourth best prospect on the Cape and ESPN listed him as the 13th best prospect in the country.
