Year in Review: Ciena's Top 6 Announcements of 2016
Bo Gowan
Director, Social Media
As 2016 comes to a close, we take a look back at the biggest news from a big year here at Ciena.
As we head into the final days of 2016 (and prepare to turn on those Out of Office notifications en masse), it's time to take a look back at some of the biggest moments we've had over the last 12 months here at Ciena.
And what a year it has been. We've traveled the 7 seas to present at various shows and conferences, talked submarine cables and community gardens, launched a new Ciena website, explained fiber hacks, Ethernet jacks, and, well, a partridge in a pear tree.
Thanks to our partners, customers, readers, and the entire Ciena team, we've kept the conversations going across thousands of social media posts, 80+ videos, and hundreds of blog posts, eBooks, app notes and whitepapers. With all that activity, it's no surprise that we crossed the 50k follower mark for our Linkedin page, crossed half-a-million lifetime video views on YouTube, and expanded into new channels like our CienaCares Instagram.
Yet for all the exciting things Ciena has done this year, a few key moments stand out as the defining moments of the year for us. Here they are in no particular order:
Our 6500 family adds the 24-Terabit T-Series
Built for the Terabit world, Ciena's T-series platform was unveiled in March as a higher density version of the tried and true 6500 Packet Optical Platform. The 6500 T-Series boasts Terabit switching capacity per slot and up to 24 Terabits in a single chassis, all while retaining the agnostic packet/OTN switching, industry leading coherent optics and intelligent software that make Ciena 6500 an industry leader. Verizon is already in the process of deploying Ciena's 6500 T-Series as part of its next-gen metro 100G build-out across the United States.
Ciena unveils new Blue Planet DevOps Toolkit
In May, Ciena's Blue Planet division rolled out a new DevOps Toolkit allowing networking operators to utilize their own product development, IT, and network operations teams to collaborate in the creation and on-boarding of new virtual network functions. Whether it's virtual firewalls or physical or virtual network domains, the DevOps Toolkit opened the door for immediate cost savings and control for today's network operators.
Introducing our new WaveLogic Ai coherent chipset
How do you drive mass scale automation for the self-driving network of the future? Ciena's new WaveLogic Ai next-generation coherent optical chipset, unveiled in October, represents more than just a step-improvement iteration in the evolution of leading optical tech specs. It combines unmatched capacity and reach with the automation and inteligence to bring about the next era of programmable optical networks.
Emulation Cloud brings sandbox-style testing to your network
Unveiled in March, Ciena's Emulation Cloud allows users to create, test, and fine-tune customized network applications in a sandbox-style environment. This DIY playground is a one-stop-shop for customers and third-party developers when creating new tools with Ciena's rich and open Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). A robust solution to address the inefficiencies and guesswork of the past, Ciena's Emulation Cloud is the flexibility-based tool that the world's been waiting for. This sandbox-style environment was met with much interest this spring and continues to be a valuable tool in the capabilities toolbox for Ciena platform users.
Distributed-NFV Hits the Scene
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is the hot topic in our industry these days. But as a service provider, how do you deploy and scale managed NFV services across your customer base? That's where Ciena's Distributed-NFV (D-NFV) solution comes into play, enabling service providers to deploy virtual network functions (VNFs) at the network edge on a customer premise server owned and operated by the Service Provider or by the enterprise itself. Unveiled in November, Ciena's D-NFV solution provides the operating system, vSwitch and orchestration needed to roll out multi-vendor NFV services at scale.
Ciena's WaveLogic Encryption Solution hits 200G
In a world where security is top of mind for just about everyone, Ciena's update last January to our industry-leading coherent optic encryption solution offers new optical-layer encryption capabilities to match high capacity infrastructure needs. With support for our WaveLogic 3 Extreme chipset, WaveLogic Encryption adds 100G and 200G encryptions speeds to is feature set. In fact, The WaveLogic Encryption was just awarded a Telecom Asia Readers' Choice & Innovation Award for Optical Network Innovation of the Year. No small feat!
It's been quite a year. And for a company driven to constantly improve the experiences and outcomes of our customers, these announcements only begin to scratch the surface of the innovation that's taken place this year across the global Ciena community. What might you expect to see from us next year? One thing is certain. We're going to continue letting our customer-obsessed focus drive us to tackle the biggest and baddest of challenges and continue pioneering the most groundbreaking solutions possible.
So from our family to yours, happy holidays. See you in 2017.

BofA Campaign Takes First Step On The Road To Redemption
In its first big ad campaign in years, Bank of America is shooting for humility by shifting focus off itself and onto "connections." But is this the image repair job the bank needs?
A little more than a year ago, BofA circulated an RFP to potential new ad agencies saying the bank was seeking a strategic position that can serve as a "North Star" for all business and marketing decisions, and convey that the bank is in the midst of a transformation.
There was more than the estimated $300 million in ad production costs that were at stake. Some observers in the ad industry felt that the entire BofA brand was on the line.
A Harris Interactive poll in 2012 said the bank's corporate reputation fell more than any other U.S. company. "The general public believes that BofA has been more concerned with operational and financial recovery than with customers. They rate the bank low in levels of trust, ethics, and customer service," Harris noted in its report.
To say BofA's brand was bruised and battered would be an understatement.
"Unless its new agency comes up with a silver-bullet strategy — one that feels humble, honest and wholly unique for the financial-services industry — the exercise could prove fruitless," noted Ad Age at the time.
Skip ahead to early April, 2013, when BofA unveiled its first major brand ad campaign in years.
The crown jewel of the campaign is a spot entitled "Portraits." The minute-long TV commercial rolls back through the memorable moments in one family's life, using portrait photos shot in the family's living room as the visual hook supporting the narrative. The spot starts with an elderly couple sitting down for a selfie on their sofa.
"Before they sat down one more time just for themselves… Before the last grandchild graced the stage… Before Katie and her husband hit that rough patch… Before Kevin finally came home, and the first grandchild arrived… Before the sons in law, daughters in law, and Brad's brief brush with the law… Before the second British invasion… Before Katie, Debbie, Kevin and Brad… Before they became a family… There was a connection that started it all, and made the future the wonderful thing it turned out to be."
One by one the photos roll back through the years: the 90s, the 80s, the 70s, the 60s, the 50s.
Narrated by actor Will Arnett, the spot closes with this: "We know we're not the center of your life, but we'll do our best to help you connect to what is."
( More: 9 Critical Ways Financial Institutions Should Rebuild Trust With Consumers )
The "Portraits" ad tells the story of one family in reverse chronology. It's a somewhat common concept used by marketers — showing lifestages and major milestones — except BofA is flashing backwards instead of forwards (as Bank Audi, ING Investments and John Lewis have done). The video has been viewed around 1.5 million times in under a month.
"Life's better when we're connected," say the new BofA tagline. (In global markets, the tag line will be "The Power of Global Connections.")
The campaign includes a suite of about eight different TV spots, digital advertising, print ads in 16 markets and some limited outdoor.
In one made-for-the-web video, Laurie Readhead, BofA's CIO says, "Nobody gets up in the morning and says, 'The thing I want to do today is bank.'" One after another, a parade of employees explain the importance of "human connections." "We're dealing with more than just dollars and information," says one. "These are people's lives."
Last weekend the bank used its Times Square billboard to feature its partnerships with 12 nonprofits, including Habitat for Humanity, Goodwill, United Way Worldwide and Big Brothers Big Sisters.
The new ads were produced by Hill Holliday, an Interpublic Group company. Rival agency WPP is producing BofA's work in global markets, while also handling CRM and direct mail. Publicis Group's Starcom has remained the media agency of record.
"Before Derek made their anniversary unforgettable…" he was stymied as to what he should get his spouse, so he used BankAmeriDeals to get some ideas. He runs around town buying stuff with cash back discounts. "That's the romance of BankAmeriDeals," segues the narrator somewhat awkwardly. Tagline: "Life's better when we're connected."

Adulation For Ads From Many, But Skeptics Remain
Look around Twitter, and you'll find many average consumers and ad types celebrating the emotive power, storytelling technique and production values of the new "Portraits" spot.
Steve Connelly, president of ad firm Connelly Partners, is one of them. He "loves" the new BofA commercials. "They're the first bank I've seen to admit that banks are not the most important things in people's lives," Connelly told the Boston Herald. "Bank of America was the center of a lot of bad publicity, and I think they needed to come out with a very honest effort."
Ad Age applauds the campaign as "a new, more humble brand positioning" for BofA.
But not everyone is convinced.
"The subtext of the ad is all about Bank of America," said Jeff Freedman, CEO of the ad firm Small Army. "It's another example of a big bank not being able to get out of its own way. I think it's a mistake for them to come out with an ad like that. They were trying to pull at the heartstrings of consumers, but the payoff of that ad was 'It all began with us.'"
Issues of false humility aside, other branding experts express concern that BofA may be applying a cosmetic, topical bandaid to a brand so deeply wounded it needs major reconstructive surgery.
( Read More: Can Advertising Save BofA's Battered Brand? )
"If they're going to restore their reputation, it's going to be done in the trenches not on the airwaves," observed Charlie Elberson, VP/brand development at Wray Ward.
Jim Kim writing for Fierce Finance agrees: "In the end, the power to change the bank's reputation will turn on the thousands of interactions between bank representatives and consumer that take place daily. The ad campaign could quickly become a national joke if there is no follow up by the people actually representing the bank to consumers."
"Sure, the commercials are nice and all that," notes John Maxfield, writing for The Motley Fool. "But they completely miss the point. There's no question that Bank of America needs to repair its image. To do that, however, it doesn't need a fancy and expensive marketing blitz. All it needs to do is apologize to its customers."
Like many, Susan Bodiker with Orion Advertising thinks the spots are beautiful and heartwarming… and would be a triumph if they came from any other advertiser.
"Unfortunately for BofA, it will take more than pretty pictures to dispel the memories of foreclosures, fines and firings now associated with the brand," Bodiker says.
Others, like Edward Boches, Professor of Advertising at Boston University, are more diplomatic. He says the campaign at least doesn't violate the Hippocratic Oath: "First do no harm."
Boches says the "Portraits" spot is both likable and beautifully executed. "That alone is an accomplishment for an institution that has lost so much of its good will with the general public," he says with measured praise.
"This advertising wisely chooses not to reach too far and simply conveys a sense of humanity and connecting to customers," Boches continues. "It's safe, but that may be what the bank needs right now."
But Boches also echoes the concerns expressed by other branding consultants: "Ultimately it will be the bank's actual behavior and treatment of customers that will determine whether this campaign rings true."
Has BofA Really Changed (More Than Just Its Ad Messages)?
Tracy Brady, a spokeswoman for Hill Holliday, defended the ads her firm created for BofA.
"We feel very confident that this campaign is the right way to tell people about the important changes at the bank," Brady said in an email to the Boston Herald.
But what changes are those? Neither Brady nor BofA's commercials make that very evident.
The flagship spot, "Portraits," makes a point about "connections" and hints at the bank's role in life's big moments. But all the other commercials rounding out the campaign are pretty much product spots. The common conceptual thread that binds the campaign together — "connections" — isn't substantively expressed beyond the flashback narrative device.
Meredith Verdone, BofA's head of brand marketing, more aptly captures the campaign's true spirit: "We are a facilitator," she said. "It's not about us. We need to focus on customer needs first and we know our place."
Yes, that's true. Banks take a backseat in people's lives, and BofA's spots reflect that reality nicely. But why is everyone at BofA harping on about how the spots capture "changes" the bank has undertaken?
Verdone swears the campaign imparts a message about some broader cultural shift that the bank's customers should sense. "I think they're going to look at the ads, and look at the people in the ads and relate to them," she explained in an Ad Age interview. "I think they're going to see that we're behaving differently and they'll see a more human company."
The campaign certainly exudes a sense of humanity through its use of emotive imagery and Hollywood storytelling techniques. But does that convey the message of reform BofA is hoping to send? Does the campaign assuage people's thirst for a repentant big bank?
"Coming out of the financial crisis, we were confronted with a serious set of challenges," said Finucane in an internal video for employees. "We have fundamentally reshaped who we are."
That may be so. But it seems folks are still itching for a little more proof.
Bottom Line: It's easier to change your clothes than it is to change who you are and convince the world that you're different.

The mission of the Clerk of Courts office is to provide a wide range of services to law enforcement, judicial systems, county government and the citizens of Bucks County. Employees are committed to providing courteous, efficient and professional service. This is accomplished through maintaining high ethical standards while fulfilling our constitutional and statutory duties.
The primary responsibility of the Clerk of Courts is the custodian of the criminal court records. We also are the keeper of the juvenile delinquency and dependency court records. All 67 Counties in Pennsylvania utilize the Common Pleas Case Management System (CPCMS) to facilitate the transfer of information and data from the Magisterial District Courts, Court of Common Pleas, and PA State Police. The Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts consistently updates CPCMS to maintain compliance with ever-changing legislation and rules. All case processing in the Clerk of Courts is recorded in CPCMS which is critical to facilitate an efficient and effective criminal justice system.
I am proud to present the following financial facts on behalf of the dedicated staff of the Bucks County Clerk of Courts office. The Clerk of Courts office assesses, collects, and disburses restitution and court costs. In 2018, we disbursed $2.2 million in restitution to crime victims and $2.2 million to the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue. We also disbursed approximately $5.1 million to the County of Bucks.
The Bucks County Clerk of Courts was the first in the state to contract with an outside collection agency in 1997. Since the inception of this initiative, we have collected over $5 million in revenue at no cost to the taxpayers.
It is important to acknowledge the decrease in criminal cases from 2017 (8,739 cases) to 2018 (7,461 cases). This can be attributed in part, to new diversionary programs such as Community Accountability Program (CAP) and Drug Court Diversionary Program (DCDP) established by the courts, resulting in a reduction in the number of cases brought forward to the Court of Common Pleas.
We continue to maintain our tradition of quality and public service while maintaining the integrity of our criminal records. Please email us at cocassociates@buckscounty.org if you should have any questions.

Q: What is the correct way to link assembly code with C code using gcc Suppose you have the following assembly files:
  .file "print.s"
  .intel_syntax noprefix

  .text

  .globl _start
  .type _start, @function
_start:
  mov rax, 1
  mov rdi, 1
  lea rsi, hello_string
  mov rdx, 14
  syscall
  mov rax, 60
  mov rdi, 0
  syscall
  .size _start, .-_start

and
  .file "string.s"
  .intel_syntax noprefix

  .data

  .globl hello_string
  .type hello_string, @object
hello_string:
  .string "Hello, world!\n"
  .size hello_string, 14

If you run as string.s -o string.o, as print.s -o print.o and then ld *.o -o hello.elf, you get a executable file which prints Hello, world!. Now suppose that you change the _start label in print.s to print and you have the following C file:
// main.c
void print(void);

int main (void) {
  print();
  return 0;
}

I want to run something like gcc -o main.elf main.c string.s print.s to take my two assembly files and link them into the standard C runtime. This command as written doesn't work. I get the following error message:
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccc1yRif.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against symbol `hello_string' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

I can't figure out how to correctly use the -fPIC flag to make things work. I am not even sure if that is what I should be doing. I could try and use the inline assembler to do this, but for my actual use cases, that would be extremely annoying and I would much rather learn how to correctly link assembly chunks into my C programs. I haven't been able to find much information about this online.

 Question:  How do you correctly use the GNU linker to link assembly files into the C runtime?

EDIT: In How to link a C object file with a Assembly Language object file?, the OP is asking about how to solve a similar linking problem just using ld. I want to use gcc which is the recommended solution in the linked question, but I can't even get that to work.

A: OK, so I have figured it out now. The error message seems to be telling me that  gcc is trying to make a shared object. This lead me to the question gcc 6.2.0 is attempting to create shared object when it shouldn't?
The solution is to run gcc -no-pie main.c string.s print.s -o main.elf
according to the man page, -no-pie tells gcc to not produce a position indipendent executable.

See, I was recently married, new baby in the house, wife quit her reliable and secure job as a senior accountant, and we decided to work together in the photography studio I had started on my own back in '85.
Things were about to get real. I knew that I needed to make the studio work. Mortgages and car payments don't pay themselves.
Being ready is the key word. Being motivated, compelled, eager, ambitious, hungry and driven. All these and more play a key role in being "ready".
And ready I was. I had initiative.
Meaning…. always be learning, growing, expanding your skills, knowledge, information.
These characteristics and more push you to become a 'marketer of photographic services" vs a photographer. Most won't do this.
My suggestion? Be on the right side of the gap.
Being a photographer is fine, if that's your endgame. For me it's more. Way more.
I need to make money. If you're offended by that idea, seriously, think about it. Where does your money come from? How are you paying your bills?
No shame. I'm in business. And in business money is the scorecard.
And in the business of selling photography, I follow other photographers I admire, want to be like, and inspired by and know I can learn the success and marketing skills needed to keep on the rails.
Don't get me wrong. I love the technical side of photography….lighting, photoshop, creative subject matter, cool new trends and all that. And more. I LOVE all things about photography.
But in the end, when I go to the bank, I need to show a nice healthy profit on my bank deposit slip to the teller. He/she doesn't care how good my photography is.
On that note, I am hosting another success webinar with one of my all time favorite photographers, Maggie Habieda. Tomorrow morning, at 11:00AM EDT.
If your dead-serious about being successful in photography, there are NO easy shortcuts. And you need to check your level of initiative.
Maggie defines the word and meaning behind initiative.
Don't take my word for it. Join us and see for yourself. To your success in marketing and in photography….
Being ready is the key word!


I appreciate Dr. Wilson's response to our article and the comments regarding gender typing of professions. As he notes, women have had the ability to enter traditional male professions for many years and there were some trailblazers early in the 1900's. Since the 1970's, women have entered these professions in increasing numbers; some might have chosen nursing in earlier days. During all of this time, men have also had the ability to enter nursing, which is seen as a female profession. Today, nursing still remains a predominantly female profession with a small percentage of men. The question is how to attract men into the profession. I would ask the men who are nurses to teach us how to talk to boys about nursing. Since there seems to be a continued societal bias against nursing as a choice for men, how can we present nursing as an excellent career for the 10 year old, 16 year old, or 22 year old male? I think readers of these articles would be interested to know how male nurses talk with boys about nursing or about successful strategies for helping boys/young men select nursing. I encourage further Letters to the Editor of OJIN on this question.

Home » Inside INF » President's Message
I am thrilled to have been elected as President of the International Netball Federation at the 2019 INF Congress prior to the Vitality Netball World Cup 2019. I have been reflecting on the tournament, all the impressive and committed representatives that I have met and the impact of the event on the world and our sport. The ticket sales, broadcast and audience engagement and the quality of the competition shows that this was a triumph not only in the UK but across the globe.
I have also been reflecting on how well the event and surrounding activity presented netball's unique impact on women and girls – you could see and hear it in audiences, in the Creating Choices campaign, in the BBC Sport Relief footage and in Clare Balding's (UK broadcaster, author and journalist) on court introduction to the Closing Ceremony. Netball is playing its part in changing the landscape of female sport and opening new opportunities around the world which is incredible to see.
On the court, the standard of play continues to rise. Athletes are moving across the world to play in the top leagues in Australia, England and New Zealand. As our sport evolves towards professionalism, we must ensure that decisions taken at a local and global level consider the views of athletes and always demonstrate our duty of care to them.
With the Vitality Netball World Cup 2019 over and New Zealand crowned as the new World Champions, I look forward to the future and what it will bring including the Commonwealth Youth Games 2021 in Trinidad and Tobago, the Netball World Youth Cup 2021 in Fiji, the Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham, and the Netball World Cup 2023 in South Africa which has the potential to be even more competitive and a proud showcase of African talent.
I look forward to meeting with the Board in Singapore as a new team to progress the work of the Federation and build upon the former INF President Hon. Molly Rhone's legacy to drive netball forward to create a sport that is truly a force for good.
Liz Nicholl, CBE
President – International Netball Federation

A few weeks back, I put out an article for a speculation for something new to be announced on May 31st relating to Monster Hunter based upon a site teaser from Capcom Japan.
Just recently, the site was updated and now has a bit more information regarding what is going on at the Monster Hunter event.
Firstly, the event will officially begin at 5pm JST on May 31st, 2015. The event will also consist of various guest stars including comedians, musicians and the development team; all to celebrate Monster Hunter. There will also be new information announced to the public during the event as well! Anything to moisten the enthusiastic crowd that attends is always a fantastic move by the developers! This event will be held at the Tokyo International Forum.
The event will be holding talk shows with the guests, games, performances and mini live events to really get the crowd pumped for the pumping Monster Hunter filled night!
The site's update has also stated that people who attend will also receive a complimentary Blu-Ray disc that features 80 minutes of Monster Hunter footage; consisting of CG and promotional videos for all of the games in the Monster Hunter franchise.
The tickets are to be sold at a price of 3000 yen, and the members of the Monster Hunter Club can sign up for a raffle to obtain tickets to this event if they sign up right now, all the way through to April 19th, Midnight.
Again, this is a Japan only event; but I can only wish and hope for an extremely cool event like this to cross the waters if this franchise would get even more popular than it is now! I'm looking forward to seeing what comes out of this event news wise. If you're in Japan during that time and are a fan of Monster Hunter you should definitely go! And let us know if you are!

Q: Dropbox Display File Modification Date I have an iOS app where I am trying to display a list images found in a Dropbox folder, along with their modification date, in a table. The result would look something like this:

The following is successful in retrieving the file list, but I am stuck on getting file attributes as described in the Dropbox metadata API. I've tried several different ways to get this, as well as different properties. I get an error even before building.: Property 'modified' not found on object of type 'DBMetadata *'
- (void)restClient:(DBRestClient*)client loadedMetadata:(DBMetadata*)metadata {
    NSArray* validExtensions = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"jpg", @"jpeg", nil];
    NSMutableArray* newPhotoPaths = [NSMutableArray new];
    NSMutableArray* fileModified = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
    for (DBMetadata* child in metadata.contents)
    {
        NSString* extension = [[child.path pathExtension] lowercaseString];
        if (!child.isDirectory && [validExtensions indexOfObject:extension] != NSNotFound)
        {

            //[fileModified addObject:child.modified]; // Error
            //NSLog(@"%@", fileModified)
        }
    }
}

Suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Q: multiple or single imports in es6 with webpack I am developing a javascript SPA with React/React boilerplate and material UI.
In the code snippets on the material ui site I see:

import Table from '@material-ui/core/Table';
import TableBody from '@material-ui/core/TableBody';
import TableCell from '@material-ui/core/TableCell';
import TableFooter from '@material-ui/core/TableFooter';

However, this works just as well:

import {Table,TableBody,TableCell,TableFooter} from '@material-ui/core/';

My question is, which is the preferable syntax and why?

A: Without any Tree Shaking or anything of the sort, the difference between these two approaches is that:
import {Table,TableBody,TableCell,TableFooter} from '@material-ui/core/'

Actually adds EVERYTHING from '@material-ui/core/' to your bundle.
If you indeed only use a subset of it, going for the:
import Table from '@material-ui/core/Table';
import TableBody from '@material-ui/core/TableBody';
import TableCell from '@material-ui/core/TableCell';
import TableFooter from '@material-ui/core/TableFooter';

... would result in a significantly smaller bundle!

A: From my point of view, the second one is slightly better, because you don't need to know the internals of the lib that you're using. In that way, if they change the structure of the folders, you won't be affected by that.

Dallas Cowboys Quarterback Surprised a Fan With a Rare Disease
Texas Writer
Dallas Cowboys backup quarterback Cooper Rush surprised one of his biggest fans, 8 year old Gavin Miller, with tickets to the preseason match-up against in-state rival the Houston Texans this past weekend, a game often dubbed "The Battle of Texas".
"Everyone needs perspective in life and he gives me a lot of it, so it's been really good, someone you just always have in the back of your mind you think about when things are tough. Gavin's been tougher than all of us."
Gavin suffers from a very rare disease known as Perthes Disease which affects the hip joint and can lead to complications with walking and even arthritis. Every year Gavin and his mom fly down to Scottish Rite hospital in Dallas for treatment, but this years trip came with a surprise special treat.
It turns out both Gavin and Cooper Rush are from Charlotte, Michigan. When asked about his hometown neighbor Cooper Rush said this about the boy "Everyone needs perspective in life and he gives me a lot of it, so it's been really good, someone you just always have in the back of your mind you think about when things are tough. Gavin's been tougher than all of us."
The Dallas Cowboys won the game against the Houston Texans with a resounding 34-0 score, the team was led for most of the game by Cooper and Gavin was in the stands cheering the whole time.

Torrey Hawkins, owner of Bayou City Angler with a nice early spring red.
The upper Texas Coast typically falls into its spring time pattern by mid-to-late February. This year will certainly not be an exception to the rule after a very mild winter and rapidly warming daytime temperatures. Unfortunately, spring patterns are probably the most difficult to sort out. Fish are transient, temperature swings are frequent, and food sources change on nearly a daily basis.
The easiest transition to see and understand is that of the temperatures, both air and water. There are a couple of fun things to note about the changing temperatures. First, it helps to understand the two basic rules of air and water temperature and how they affect fish and their food sources. The relationship is much like that of a large heat exchanger or radiator. Typically, the water is somewhat constant and much slower to change, while the air temperature is almost constantly changing. Here's where it gets fun; if the air temperature is colder than the water temperature, then the surface water will cool most rapidly. In this scenario, shallow water will cool down much faster than deeper water. If this change is significant enough to cause discomfort in fish or their prey species, they will begin to move to deeper water.
Let's flip the equation: now the air temperature is warmer than the water and increasing. In this scenario, shallow water and surface temperatures will be on the rise and, following in suit, the fish and their prey will be moving toward shallower water. Clearly, you can see how this knowledge will benefit you in narrowing your search for fish.
Keep in mind that this is all relative. Shallower or deeper is relative to current depth, warmer and colder being relative to current temperatures. There are some limits to when this information is useful. Once water temperatures and air temperatures stabilize above 65 degrees Fahrenheit, warming temperatures are not nearly so relevant. Most of the common predator and prey species are well within their comfort range so we need to be more aware of a cooling event at that point than we do of a warming event.
Juvenile crabs start becoming more prevalent as spring returns to the Texas coast.
There is a large food source transition that happens typically starting in late February. Through most of the winter months, predatory fish in the bays are limited in the overall variety of food sources. As the daytime photo period becomes longer and temperatures gradually start to trend upward, we see an increase in the number and availability of prey. Most are the smaller of their respective species, but it's important to know that overall availability of food has increased. These sources come in from the warmer gulf waters or have descended from rivers and creeks, or even emerged from the mud where they took shelter during the winter. We can draw a few conclusions from this knowledge.
Food on average is much more prevalent. Early in spring, the average size of food sources is typically much smaller than what was available through the winter months. Last year, I wrote about some of the species that become prevalent again in spring. Shad, shrimp, glass minnows, worms, eels, crabs and more start to make a showing.
In the winter months we could do well just imitating a mullet or an eel, but in spring it can often be much more difficult to entice a bite from finicky fish. Many of the newly available food sources are not easy to see and therefore not easy to emulate. Some simple ideas that can help; due to increased populations, predators aren't always so quick to jump on every passing opportunity. It is a safe expectation that numerous small meals are within reach and often easier to take advantage of than the single, larger meal. Keeping this in mind, it makes sense to scale down the size of the offering and this often leads to a greater number of bites.
Downsize to smaller baits like the MirrOdine Mini in spring to mimic the easy meals predator fish are feeding on, like shad and glass minnows.
So, we know that our predator fish are moving much more in spring due to availability of new food sources, changes in temperature and movements of their food sources. We also know that if the air is warmer than the water, shallow water will warm faster and conversely, deeper water will offer greater comfort in cooling periods. Mud, especially dark colored mud and areas of deeper mud, tend to retain much more heat than areas with sand or light colored bay bottom. Understanding that last thought, brings light to an interesting spring pattern. This will be disappointing to many anglers as it doesn't fit the "dawn patrol" profile.
Wendell Breazelle with a big 27.75" trout.
Warm spring days with abundant sunshine tend to warm soft mud areas. This may not always draw predator and prey populations during daylight hours, but the heat retaining properties of soft mud and shallow water create a comfort zone for overnight dwelling. In so many areas around the Galveston Bay complex you can watch this take place. As the sun draws lower in the sky, and the temperatures start to drop, baitfish swarm the shallows. Comfort and abundant plant food sources draw them in, followed closely by their predatory brothers and sisters.
Pulling all of this together, be aware of both air and water temperatures and the relationship of change. Be prepared to scale down the size of your offering and perhaps most important, don't get too hung up on being the first boat on the bay. Some of the best spring time bites I have ever experienced were much closer to sunset than sunrise. Many of those days were not really days, but more like evenings or even nights of fishing. There was a time when I would schedule guided trips from February through early April to all continue until at least sunset, if not later. That way we could be there when the fish were most concentrated and active.
There is no guarantee anywhere in fishing, but narrowing the field, so to speak, can only add to our odds.
Torrey Hawkins releases a 29-inch marsh red.
Spring on the upper Texas Coast brings the return of many things, sunshine and warming temperatures are what we tend to notice the most.
As much as those two factors make us rush to the bays, they are not the keys to angling success in the Spring. Though they do in fact play an important role, they are not nearly as influential as most anglers believe them to be.
Conditions, specifically those that we can easily detect above the water, are not the same as those that a predator like a redfish or speckled trout feels below the water's surface. If I was to give my personal estimation of the two conditional factors that have the greatest influence, they would have to be water temperature and daily photo period. These are what both predator and prey feel, and are the factors that drive spawning and the return to shallow bays and estuarine waters.
Beyond sun and rising water temps, wind is probably the most notable factor for anglers, and probably the one that is the most discouraging. We can't change the wind and it isn't always easy to forecast, but we should all understand its impact and learn to use it to our advantage.
Strong southerly winds and powerful incoming tides of Spring are the arteries that deliver the life blood to our coastal bays and estuaries. These will typically start bringing new life as early as February, and continue well into April and even May. These bull tides bring numerous prey species, along with their food sources, back to the shallows. Each of the returning animals' migration, whether large or small in distance, is timed perfectly by the return or resurgence of their primary food sources.
An entire article could be dedicated to prey species, their eating habits and preferred habitat, but knowing a few factors that play critical roles in locating and catching trout and redfish are worthy of mention. Blue and stone crabs, white, brown and to a lesser degree, pink shrimp, glass minnows, menhaden and shad, as well as sheepshead minnows and many more all make their annual return to the estuaries during spring. They wash inshore on incoming tides towards lower salinity estuarine waters where they can thrive and find abundant microbial food sources.
The Bass Assassin Sea Shad in Slammin' Chicken is a good springtime marsh bait. Purple is a common color in juvenile blue crabs.
The Norton Bull Minnow in Texas Roach is good for low visibility marsh water. Use 1/16-1/8 oz jigheads with these soft plastics.
As anglers, we can all benefit from a greater understanding of the life cycles and influences within our chosen fishing grounds.
Just as these animals arrive, due to abundance of food, so do their predators. In nature, every step of the food chain is driven by three basic, instinctual needs: food, safety, and reproduction. Knowing this makes it very clear that to find our target fish, we must find its target or preferred food. As anglers, we can all benefit from a greater understanding of the life cycles and influences within our chosen fishing grounds. We must accept that sometimes the things that frustrate us the most can provide the greatest advancement in our angling skills.
Wind can make our fishing days challenging; knowing where those winds deposit concentrations of prey species can make them more productive. West Galveston Bay's notorious winter "moss" can frustrate us to no end, but the realization that its "decay stage" provides possibly the largest food source for many returning and emerging prey species, might well make you look more closely at the areas most inundated.
Knowing some of the favorite prey species and their preferred habitat and food sources are great. Now, it's up to you as a successful angler to locate them. Most of these small species are difficult to physically locate. Thankfully, there are some larger and more widespread animals that can help us locate the smaller food sources that often lead to greater catches. Since most every angler reading this has likely experienced fishing an area devoid of prey species and the ensuing unproductive day, we probably all can now see the importance of finding the food source.
Focus your efforts, whether on open bay shorelines, or in the marshes, on the areas populated by mullet. They are not only much easier to see, but they also eat the same decaying plant material that most of the smaller prey species dine on. Also, take the time to explore every stretch of water inhabited by shore birds such as egrets, herons, ibis and spoonbill. Areas where terns and gulls are diving are likely to have juvenile surface dwelling animals, riding currents. Many of these are extremely small and hard to see, but don't think that hungry predators would pass up on the opportunity to feast on these helpless little morsels.
Wendell Breazele with a nice fly caught trout.
Don't let the most transitional season deter your efforts, use this season to explore and use your angling skills to locate fish in places you haven't often looked. You will find, that even though spring fishing can be very challenging, it can also be very productive for those who armed with knowledge. You might just find some very aggressive fish that are waiting to reward you with explosive strikes.

Q: Linux Process States In Linux, what happens to the state of a process when it needs to read blocks from a disk? Is it blocked? If so, how is another process chosen to execute?

A: While waiting for read() or write() to/from a file descriptor return, the process will be put in a special kind of sleep, known as "D" or "Disk Sleep". This is special, because the process can not be killed or interrupted while in such a state. A process waiting for a return from ioctl() would also be put to sleep in this manner.
An exception to this is when a file (such as a terminal or other character device) is opened in O_NONBLOCK mode, passed when its assumed that a device (such as a modem) will need time to initialize. However, you indicated block devices in your question. Also, I have never tried an ioctl() that is likely to block on a fd opened in non blocking mode (at least not knowingly).
How another process is chosen depends entirely on the scheduler you are using, as well as what other processes might have done to modify their weights within that scheduler.
Some user space programs under certain circumstances have been known to remain in this state forever, until rebooted. These are typically grouped in with other "zombies", but the term would not be correct as they are not technically defunct.

A: A process performing I/O will be put in D state (uninterruptable sleep), which frees the CPU until there is a hardware interrupt which tells the CPU to return to executing the program. See man ps for the other process states.
Depending on your kernel, there is a process scheduler, which keeps track of a runqueue of processes ready to execute. It, along with a scheduling algorithm, tells the kernel which process to assign to which CPU. There are kernel processes and user processes to consider. Each process is allocated a time-slice, which is a chunk of CPU time it is allowed to use. Once the process uses all of its time-slice, it is marked as expired and  given lower priority in the scheduling algorithm.
In the 2.6 kernel, there is a O(1) time complexity scheduler, so no matter how many processes you have up running, it will assign CPUs in constant time. It is more complicated though, since 2.6 introduced preemption and CPU load balancing is not an easy algorithm. In any case, it's efficient and CPUs will not remain idle while you wait for the I/O.

A: As already explained by others, processes in "D" state (uninterruptible sleep) are responsible for the hang of ps process. To me it has happened many times with RedHat 6.x and automounted NFS home directories.
To list processes in D state you can use the following commands:
cd /proc
for i in [0-9]*;do echo -n "$i :";cat $i/status |grep ^State;done|grep D

To know the current directory of the process and, may be, the mounted NFS disk that has issues you can use a command similar to the following example (replace 31134 with the sleeping process number):
# ls -l /proc/31134/cwd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 pippo users 0 Aug  2 16:25 /proc/31134/cwd -> /auto/pippo

I found that giving the umount command with the -f (force) switch, to the related mounted nfs file system, was able to wake-up the sleeping process:
umount -f /auto/pippo

the file system wasn't unmounted, because it was busy, but the related process did wake-up and I was able to solve the issue without rebooting.

A: When a process needs to fetch data from a disk, it effectively stops running on the CPU to let other processes run because the operation might take a long time to complete – at least 5ms seek time for a disk is common, and 5ms is 10 million CPU cycles, an eternity from the point of view of the program!
From the programmer point of view (also said "in userspace"), this is called a blocking system call. If you call write(2) (which is a thin libc wrapper around the system call of the same name), your process does not exactly stop at that boundary; it continues, in the kernel, running the system call code. Most of the time it goes all the way up to a specific disk controller driver (filename → filesystem/VFS → block device → device driver), where a command to fetch a block on disk is submitted to the proper hardware, which is a very fast operation most of the time.
THEN the process is put in sleep state (in kernel space, blocking is called sleeping – nothing is ever 'blocked' from the kernel point of view). It will be awakened once the hardware has finally fetched the proper data, then the process will be marked as runnable and will be scheduled. Eventually, the scheduler will run the process.
Finally, in userspace, the blocking system call returns with proper status and data, and the program flow goes on.
It is possible to invoke most I/O system calls in non-blocking mode (see O_NONBLOCK in open(2) and fcntl(2)). In this case, the system calls return immediately and only report submitting the disk operation. The programmer will have to explicitly check at a later time whether the operation completed, successfully or not, and fetch its result (e.g., with select(2)). This is called asynchronous or event-based programming.
Most answers here mentioning the D state (which is called TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE in the Linux state names) are incorrect. The D state is a special sleep mode which is only triggered in a kernel space code path, when that code path can't be interrupted (because it would be too complex to program), with the expectation that it would block only for a very short time. I believe that most "D states" are actually invisible; they are very short lived and can't be observed by sampling tools such as 'top'.
You can encounter unkillable processes in the D state in a few situations. NFS is famous for that, and I've encountered it many times. I think there's a semantic clash between some VFS code paths, which assume to always reach local disks and fast error detection (on SATA, an error timeout would be around a few 100 ms), and NFS, which actually fetches data from the network which is more resilient and has slow recovery (a TCP timeout of 300 seconds is common). Read this article for the cool solution introduced in Linux 2.6.25 with the TASK_KILLABLE state. Before this era there was a hack where you could actually send signals to NFS process clients by sending a SIGKILL to the kernel thread rpciod, but forget about that ugly trick.…

A: Assuming your process is a single thread, and that you're using blocking I/O, your process will block waiting for the I/O to complete. The kernel will pick another process to run in the meantime based on niceness, priority, last run time, etc. If there are no other runnable processes, the kernel won't run any; instead, it'll tell the hardware the machine is idle (which will result in lower power consumption).
Processes that are waiting for I/O to complete typically show up in state D in, e.g., ps and top.

A: Yes, the task gets blocked in the read() system call. Another task which is ready runs, or if no other tasks are ready, the idle task (for that CPU) runs.
A normal, blocking disc read causes the task to enter the "D" state (as others have noted). Such tasks contribute to the load average, even though they're not consuming the CPU.
Some other types of IO, especially ttys and network, do not behave quite the same - the process ends up in "S" state and can be interrupted and doesn't count against the load average.

A: Yes, tasks waiting for IO are blocked, and other tasks get executed. Selecting the next task is done by the Linux scheduler.

A: Generally the process will block.  If the read operation is on a file descriptor marked as non-blocking or if the process is using asynchronous IO it won't block.  Also if the process has other threads that aren't blocked they can continue running.
The decision as to which process runs next is up to the scheduler in the kernel.

Evil isn't always without class.
For the classy and suave evil mastermind, we've put together this list of cars we thought were most fitting. Just because you're a bad guy doesn't mean you can't have some style.
It was $300,000 when new, but the SL65 AMG Black Series also had a twin-turbocharged V12 that made 661-hp and an earth-shattering 738 lb-ft of torque. And this car was the epitome of aggressive. It had ridiculously large front air intakes and fenders so wide you could sit on them. It was an ultimate rear-tire slayer. This is the muscle you'd hire to intimidate someone.
The Aero 8 brings vintage looks to a modern day car. You can just see it on a film noir set, with the femme fatale leaning against its elegant fender, smoking a cigarette from a holder. At last year's Geneva Auto Show, Morgan said that it would make a new-generation car. Let's hope that the new car will hit on those vintage notes like the Aero 8 does.
The sleekness of the M6 Gran Coupe alone should have a smartly-dressed and neatly-preened driver to match. BMW dropped the screaming V10 and went instead with a twin-turbocharged V8, which is a little more subtle but still powerful. You wouldn't want to draw too much attention to yourself as a villain, right?
The car itself just looks like a villain. Like Darth Vader. This thing was a beast in straight line acceleration, so it'd be a good getaway car if you ever needed to leave the scene . . . quickly. Buick only built 500 Grand National GNXs, which makes it the perfect combination of rare and sinister for a getaway car.
You can't be surprised that the Hellcat would be one of our choices. Both the Challenger and the Charger Hellcats make the famously hellish 707 horsepower and sent all of it to the rear wheels. It makes a damn good sound, too. And remember, villains always use the red key. Because why would you drive a Hellcat without it?
It weighs 9000 pounds and means some serious business. There probably isn't any type of terrain that could stop this thing. Plus, almost nobody has a six-wheeled car. Nobody as classy as you, anyways.
The only thing that would make the Marauder an even more perfect bad-guy car is if someone put a set of black rims on it. With a name like 'Marauder' and a V8 under the hood, the blacked out features covering its front end made it seem like it was wearing a burglar's mask. Maybe Ford expected this car to be up to no good.
We couldn't make a list of villain cars without at least one of them coming equipped with suicide doors, because that's how you make an entrance. Sinatra and Elvis drove Continentals, but this car looks fitting for a gangster, too. The Continental concept shown at last year's New York Auto Show didn't have suicide doors, unfortunately. Will the production car have the same presence and pull that its predecessor did? We sure hope so.
Just the name makes you think of something dark and sinister. The opulent luxury of the Wraith seems like it could be enjoyed by a criminal mastermind who has made it. You know, the type that doesn't rob bank vaults themselves anymore. The type that has other people doing the dirty work while they sit at home in their châteaus with the twin-turbo V12 Rolls parked out front.
The massive and wicked fender vents on the SLR McLaren looked like the gills from a shark, and the pointy nose was a dead giveaway for a car that was good at slicing through the air to hit 200 mph. The supercharged V8 gave it a thundering 617 horsepower, and the dramatic butterfly doors just topped everything off.

Brits say "FU!" To the EU.
June 26, 2016 / Doug McIntyre
On October 19, 1781, on Virginia's Yorktown peninsula, column after column of British soldiers marched in file as they stacked their arms, the final act of capitulation to a combined American and French army under the command of Gen. George Washington.
This ritual of surrender played out to the accompaniment of the British army band playing a most appropriate tune, an old English ballad, "The World Turned Upside Down." After all, this wasn't supposed to happen. How could 13 backward colonies possibly defeat the world's greatest military power?
On Thursday, June 23, 2016, the world once again turned upside down. What wasn't supposed to happen happened: The British people voted to withdraw from the previously sacrosanct European Union, toppling the government of Prime Minister David Cameron and tanking financial markets from New York to Rangoon.
And this means what?
Well, it could mean a lot to the Brits. The United Kingdom may end up disunited if Scotland and Northern Ireland, two member states of the Commonwealth, hold yet another referendum and decide to split from the country.
Anti-EU movements are growing in France, Holland, Germany, Switzerland and possibly the rest of Europe as well.
While there are a multitude of reasons that millions of Brits chose to vote with their feet, the two key issues in Thursday's election turned out to be a loss of sovereignty and immigration.
Nobody should be surprised.
The elites of England — like their counterparts in America's political, economic and media establishment — have ignored the legitimate concerns of their fellow countrymen left to suffer the consequences of profound social and economic upheaval.
Worries about jobs lost to globalization and cherished cultural identity were/are arrogantly dismissed as provincialism, xenophobia and racism. While change is always greeted with resistance in a democracy, cramming social and economic upheaval down peoples' throats without any attempt to correct excesses is a virtual guarantee of an equal and opposite reaction.
Exhibit A? Donald Trump.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee happened to be in Scotland pimping two of his golf course properties on the very day of the historic Brexit election. This quirk of timing presented Trump with a worldwide audience to spike the football at Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama's expense. Trump correctly analogizes the frustration of long-ignored Brits with the frustrations of millions upon millions of Americans whose jobs have been lost to outsourcing or the abundant supply of cheaper and cheaper labor via illegal immigration.
Had Britain's leaders offered some redress of grievances, Thursday's election might never have happened.
Had Republican and Democratic leaders in this country addressed the real pain and suffering of towns and cities whose economies have been gutted by offshoring and the influx of millions upon millions of foreign workers, both legal and illegal, Donald Trump would still be benignly employed as a reality television goofball rather than a few Electoral College votes away from access to our nuclear arsenal.
My crystal ball is notoriously cloudy, therefore I'll spare you yet another media prediction. I have no idea if last Thursday's vote will turn out to be another Battle of Yorktown or England's finest hour. I am willing to predict the same forces that swept Great Britain out of the European Union can sweep Donald Trump into the Oval Office.
Talk about an upside-down world.

What to watch: 'Marseilles' is Netflix's first French series, plus new arrivals on Amazon, Hulu, Netflix, and more
!Featured, What to Stream 05/06/2016 Sean Axmaker
Marseille is the first French series from the increasingly international streaming juggernaut, a crime thriller starring Gerard Depardieu as the longtime Mayor of the French port city who is ready to do anything to seal his legacy. Critics have compared the show to a Gallic CSI, with a little nudity and cable-level language, and the reviews have not been particularly good.
Hollywood Reporter TV critic Tim Goodman observes that "it's an entirely French production, with French actors speaking their native language and various France-specific nods, plus some gorgeous aerial shots of the city from directors Florent Siri and Thomas Gilou (who created the project along with Dan Franck), but what your eyes actually see, were you to turn off the sound, is a drama series that looks splashy and American and as predictable as any of our midlevel fare."
8 episodes, in French with subtitles.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens recreates the innocence and energy of the original Star Wars for a new generation. It's a blast of nostalgia for adults and an inclusive space opera adventure for kids, with Daisy Ridley and John Boyega as the new generation of plucky young heroes and Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, and Mark Hamill reprising their old roles as the older and wiser veterans. PG-13. Reviewed on Stream On Demand here.
Jennifer Lawrence earned an Oscar nomination as Joy, a single mother who overcomes all obstacles (including a dysfunctional family) to become a self-made entrepreneur, in David O. Russell's drama inspired by the true story of Joy Mangano. Robert De Niro, Édgar Ramírez, and Bradley Cooper co-star. PG-13.
Also new this week: The 5th Wave with Chloe Grace Moretz fighting the alien invasion (PG-13), which failed to launch yet another young adult dystopian franchise, and this season's Nicholas Sparks romantic drama The Choice (PG-13), plus A Royal Night Out with the British Princesses at the end of World War II (PG-13), the Holocaust survivor drama Remember with Christopher Plummer (R), bad babysitter thriller Emelie with Sarah Bolger (not rated), and the foodie culture clash comedy East Side Sushi (PG).
Available same day as select theaters nationwide is The Family Fang, an offbeat drama of performance art, missing persons, and family dysfunction with Nicole Kidman, Jason Bateman, and Christopher Walken (R), plus the drama Mothers and Daughters with Susan Sarandon and Christina Ricci (PG-13) and the documentary Elstree 1976, which revisits the extras and bit players who were on the set of the original Star Wars (not rated).
Available before DVD: Memoria with James Franco (R), the thriller The American Side with Matthew Broderick and Camilla Belle (not rated), and the animated adventure Bling (PG).
Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin are back in the second season of Netflix original sitcom Grace and Frankie with co-stars Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston and guest star Sam Elliot. 13 episodes.
Brit Marling, Hailee Steinfeld, and Muna Otaru are women fending off rogue soldiers in the Civil War western The Keeping Room (2015), co-starring Sam Worthington. R.
Miguel Gomes' Arabian Nights trilogy reworks the literary classic for the contemporary world in three feature films: Arabian Nights: Vol. 1, The Restless One (2015), Arabian Nights: Vol. 2, The Desolate One (2015), and Arabian Nights: Vol. 3, The Enchanted One (2015). In Portuguese, French, German, English, and Mandarin, with subtitles, not rated.
The new month also brings a fresh collection of films to the catalog. This month includes the Oscar winner There Will Be Blood (2007) with Daniel Day-Lewis (R), Oscar nominee Into the Wild (2007) from filmmaker Sean Penn (R), the teen comedies Sixteen Candles (1984) with Molly Ringwald (PG) and Bring It On (2000) with Kirsten Dunst (PG-13), Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible III (2006) (PG-13), and Hitchcock's elegant romantic thriller To Catch a Thief (1955) with Cary Grant and Grace Kelly on the Riviera (no rating).
And here are a couple of films with a Pacific Northwest connection: the superb Oregon Trail drama Meek's Cutoff (2011) with Michelle Williams (PG) and Lucky Them (2013), a light-fingered drama set in the Seattle music scene, directed by Seattle-based filmmaker Megan Griffiths and starring Toni Collette and Thomas Haden Church (R).
The drama Things We Lost in the Fire (2007), with Halle Berry and Benicio Del Toro, is reviewed on Stream On Demand here (R), and Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous (2000) is reviewed on Stream On Demand here (R).
George Clooney is born to be a candidate in Ides of March (2011), a political thriller that can't compete with the real-life insanity of the current political season. R. Reviewed on Stream On Demand here.
Steven Soderbergh's feature debut Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989) is still a startlingly mature film about, yes, sex and lies, but also love, commitment, aggression, retreat, and the terror of true intimacy.
The documentary Cheech and Chong: Hey Watch This catches up with Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong on their reunion comedy tour. No rated.
Streaming TV: from HBO comes Boardwalk Empire: Season Three, from Ireland comes the mini-series Amber, and from Canada comes The Wild Roses: The Complete Series.
Amazon Prime Video and Hulu
Hot Pursuit (2015), starring Reese Witherspoon as an uptight cop and Sofia Varga as an uninhibited mob widow, is one of many films new to both services this month (PG-13), along with the smarter Witherspoon comedy Election (1999), a sharp R-rated political satire set in high school hothouse (R).
Among the other new additions are the absurd spoof Airplane! (1980) and the not quite-so-funny Airplane II: The Sequel (1982) (both PG), the caustic comedy Ghost World (2001) with a young Scarlett Johansson (R), the clever crime thriller Best Seller (1987) with James Woods (reviewed on Stream on Demand here) (R), and another round of James Bond classics, including the iconic Goldfinger (1964), which introduced the spectacular set pieces to the series, and Roger Moore in Live and Let Die (1973), with its Paul McCartney theme song.
Also new to Hulu is a collection of newly-acquired series. From the Lifetime Network comes the complete runs of The Client List with Jennifer Love Hewitt and the legal comedy Drop Dead Diva.
From Britain comes the BBC crime thriller mini-series The Shadow Line with Chiwetel Ejiofor and Christopher Eccleston, the zombie drama In the Flesh, and time-travel therapy comedy Being Erica.
Also from BBC comes the low-key mystery series DCI Banks: Complete Seasons 1-3, the comedy Almost Royal: Complete Season 1, the closed-case mystery series New Tricks: Complete Season 12, and two shows about love and sex in the modern world from Russell T. Davies: Banana: Complete Season 1 and Cucumber: Complete Season 1, which are about as phallic as titles get.
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015), Guy Ritchie's big screen revival of the 1960s secret agent series, hasn't much to do with the original show but it does have fun with sleek sixties spy movie style and shows a charming side of Henry Cavill. PG-13. Reviewed on Stream On Demand here.
2016 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony features performances by inductees Steve Miller, Cheap Trick, and Chicago, but not N.W.A.
Oscar nominated short documentary Claude Lanzmann: Spectres of the Shoah profiles the filmmaker who has spent his life documenting the Holocaust.

The Gothic horror series Penny Dreadful: Season 3 is now underway, with new episodes available every Sunday.
The documentary Brand: A Second Coming profiles comedian Russell Brand and his evolution into a political activist.
Bridgend, the first fiction feature from documentary filmmaker Jeppe Rønde, is inspired by the real-life (and still unexplained) spate of teen suicides in the Bridgend region of Wales. It debuts on Fandor the same day as its American theatrical opening in New York City. I interviewed the director for Keyframe.
Jack Irish: Season 1 follows the successful Australian TV movies, starring Guy Pierce as a once-successful lawyer turned private detective, with a regular series. Two episodes now available with new episodes debuting every Monday.
The CW is making the highly acclaimed but low-rated first season of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend available for anyone with an iTunes account to download for free.

Communication in marriage can be a huge source of disconnect and division. But it doesn't have to be that way.
We can use the following steps to ensure healthy discussions.
Agree. Communicate with your spouse that you want the discussion to bring you closer together and that communication will remain respectful, loving, and God-honoring. Agree to these conditions together.
Affirm. Tell your husband how much you appreciate him – take time at the beginning to remind him of all of the good he is doing (especially if you feel it isn't much). This is an opportunity to verbalize what you appreciate about your husband and puts your own mind in a place of thanksgiving.
Analyze. Don't overanalyze. Identify the frustration. Is it one thing? Multiple? Be specific. Focus on only one single issue at a time. State the action (or situation) followed by how it made you feel.
Ask. Ask the person who has the problem to find a solution. How would they like it to be different in the future? For example, if your husband tells you he doesn't like how you spoke to him, ask him (since he is the one feeling there is a problem) how he would like you speak to him. Communicate with one another until you agree on a reasonable solution, being open and flexible about each other's frustrations or feelings.
Accept. Once you or your husband have communicated about a solution, it doesn't mean things will automatically be different. Accept that you are both human and unable to live perfectly. Give grace, focus again on yourself, and revisit these steps when the Lord allows for the right time. Allow for the Lord to work in the situation.
When in doubt, continue to pause and prepare your mind for action. Go to your Father first and gain His perspective. He will help you navigate the flight and allow for a safe landing.
Wife Step: Print these steps off and post them where you'll see them.

Commerce State Bank
Banking on a Partnership
In the fall of 2003, Joe Fazio, Tom Hopp and David Borchardt, three Wisconsin natives, started planning and setting up their dream business – Commerce State Bank. They set out on a mission to establish a bank with a focus on three critical areas: serving the needs of small and medium sized businesses, providing home equity and mortgage loans and delivering unbeatable deposit rates. Additionally, they would provide all of the other services of a full-service financial institution. On August 31, 2005, Commerce State Bank opened.
From its first location in a small strip mall on Highway 33 in West Bend, Commerce State Bank has grown to four branch locations and $400 million in assets, with plans for significant growth over the next few years.
Commerce State Bank's present commercial banking success and vision for the future is fueled by keeping a concise focus on its target market of small and midsize businesses. Their sweet spot for commercial banking is loans of $500,000 to $5 million to clients with an annual revenue between $1 million and $20 million. While Commerce State Bank has the majority of its brick and mortar presence in Southeastern Wisconsin, they have been very successful in drawing business from all over the state.
Almost 10 years ago, Commerce State Bank partnered with iStream to provide Commerce's Commercial Customers with a Remote Deposit Capture Solution. Remote Deposit Capture became a reality in October 2004 and has truly revolutionized the manner in which deposits come into a financial institution. RDC meets the needs of Commerce State Bank's commercial customers by removing a physical limitation in terms of proximity to a branch location for deposits. Joe Fazio, Commerce State Bank CEO, chairman and co-founder said "iStream has allowed us to recruit commercial clients from areas outside of our branch location footprint, giving customers from all over the state an opportunity to experience first-hand the unparalleled service that Commerce State Bank has to offer. The product truly is a snap to install and learn to use. Our customers love the technology and its ease of use. We love the fact that iStream does all the work and support."
The iStream approach to Remote Deposit Capture has always had a focus on the end-user. Delivering a solution that delivers high utility, efficiencies and an intuitive interface has been a catalyst driving the success of iStream over the years. iStream partners with Financial Institutions to allow them to offer a best-in-class solution to their customers. "Without partners like Commerce State Bank, iStream would not be in the favorable position it finds itself in today," said Fred Joachim, iStream Financial Services president. "The portfolio of RDC customers that Commerce State Bank has cultivated over the years is a testament to both organizations. The two organizations compliment one another and serve a common goal in delivering efficiencies to clients of all size and scope" said Joachim.
Our customers love the technology and its ease of use. Joe Fazio, Commerce State Bank CEO, chairman and co-founder
