Q: Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare() Exception in aynctask I am getting this error for the below code . How do i fix this ? why is this happeneing ? I'm new to android and java . Please explain.
public class UpcomingMovies extends Activity {

    ArrayList<String> moviesList = new ArrayList<String>();
    ListView moviesListView ;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_upcoming_movies);
        moviesListView= (ListView) findViewById(R.id.upcomingMoviesList);

        UpcomingMovies.this.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                new MovieInterface().execute() ;
            }
        });
    }

    public void setUpcomingMovieList(MovieResultsPage upcomingMovies) {
        for (MovieDb result : upcomingMovies.getResults()) {
            Log.d("api", result.getTitle().toString());
            moviesList.add(result.getTitle().toString());
        }
        ArrayAdapter movieAdapter = new ArrayAdapter(getApplicationContext() , android.R.layout.simple_selectable_list_item , moviesList) ;
        moviesListView.setAdapter(movieAdapter);

    }

    class MovieInterface extends AsyncTask<String , Void , MovieResultsPage>
    {
        @Override
        protected MovieResultsPage doInBackground(String... strings) {

        TmdbMovies movies = new TmdbApi("d2e5d02fe295efc00bad8da4dc384edf").getMovies();
        MovieResultsPage upcomingMovies = movies.getUpcoming(null, 1, "IN");
        int totalpages = upcomingMovies.getTotalPages();
        Log.d("api" , "totalpages = " + Integer.toString(totalpages)) ;

        return upcomingMovies;
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(MovieResultsPage movieDbs) {
            super.onPostExecute(movieDbs);
            setUpcomingMovieList(movieDbs);
        }
    }
}

A: It seems the issue was trying to run execute method on new AsyncTaskCLass().execute() directly without a reference to the object .
Replacing :
UpcomingMovies.this.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                new MovieInterface().execute() ;
            }
        });

By :
   MovieInterface movieInterface = new MovieInterface() ;
   movieInterface.execute() ;

Fixed it .

A: You just have to use runOnUiThread in onPostExecute, starting a thread in other thread sometimes cause this error which if you must use it this way you have to release the looper but in this case I think my way is lot easier:
public class UpcomingMovies extends Activity {

ArrayList<String> moviesList = new ArrayList<String>();
ListView moviesListView ;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_upcoming_movies);
    moviesListView= (ListView) findViewById(R.id.upcomingMoviesList);

    new MovieInterface().execute() ;
}

public void setUpcomingMovieList(MovieResultsPage upcomingMovies) {
    for (MovieDb result : upcomingMovies.getResults()) {
        Log.d("api", result.getTitle().toString());
        moviesList.add(result.getTitle().toString());
    }
    ArrayAdapter movieAdapter = new ArrayAdapter(getApplicationContext() , android.R.layout.simple_selectable_list_item , moviesList) ;
    moviesListView.setAdapter(movieAdapter);

}

class MovieInterface extends AsyncTask<String , Void , MovieResultsPage>
{
    @Override
    protected MovieResultsPage doInBackground(String... strings) {

    TmdbMovies movies = new TmdbApi("d2e5d02fe295efc00bad8da4dc384edf").getMovies();
    MovieResultsPage upcomingMovies = movies.getUpcoming(null, 1, "IN");
    int totalpages = upcomingMovies.getTotalPages();
    Log.d("api" , "totalpages = " + Integer.toString(totalpages)) ;

    return upcomingMovies;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(MovieResultsPage movieDbs) {
        super.onPostExecute(movieDbs);
        UpcomingMovies.this.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
              setUpcomingMovieList(movieDbs);
            }
        });
    }
}

Mentally Incompetent Man Wins The Lottery, Spends Half His Winnings In Four Weeks
Malcolm Ramsey, 55 and mentally incompetent, hit it big when he won the lottery prize of "$500 a week for life" in October 2013. He took the lump sum option, granting him $403,288 before taxes, and within four weeks has spent more than half of the winnings, reports Tampa Bay Times.
Ramsey winning the lottery was not known to the staff of the Loving Care assisted living facility in St. Petersburg where he lives until relatives, who had never paid attention to him before, began showing up en mass. Bags from T.J. Maxx and Bealls began filling his room and boxes of new athletic shoes were stacked against the wall. Only then did the rumors begin that Ramsey had won the lottery.
A diagnosed schizophrenic, Ramsey is under the guardianship of nonprofit Aging Solutions, but can come and go as he pleases. He does not take medication. A judge appointed Aging Solutions as the responsible party to pay Ramsey's bills and monitor his care. They were not made aware of his winning the lottery until after he had spent half the winnings, and only because of his family visiting.
"It was people who were around that had never been around before," says Lona DiCerb, director of operations at Aging Solutions, "That's troublesome when family he'd never spoke of prior began coming around."
DiCerb and the judge handling the case think the Florida Lottery should be checking to see if a winner has been adjudicated incompetent before handing over winnings, just as it checks to see if winners owe child support. A simple search on the internet will tell them whether someone is under financial guardianship.
Ramsey was a regular lottery player, buying scratch-off tickets for $1 each frequently from Quick Pick gas station, a lottery retailer with $101 million in annual ticket sales.
When Ramsey bought his winning ticket he tucked it away for a few weeks before reaching out to Charlie Springer, a driver for Bat's Taxi who sometimes parks at Quick Pick when business is slow. Springer called lottery headquarters in Tallahassee on behalf of Ramsey to see what was needed to claim his prize.
With money borrowed from Springer, Ramsey rode a bus to Largo to get a copy of his birth certificate from the Pinellas County Vital Statistics Office. He then used the certificate to get a new ID card from the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. Springer loaned him another $50 to open a bank account at Wells Fargo so a place for his winnings would exist, reports Tampa Bay Times.
All of this was done by Ramsey without the knowledge of his guardian.
Springer drove Ramsey to Tallahassee to collect his winnings from lottery headquarters. He presented his ID and refused to have his picture taken. The lottery's press release simply read, "St. Petersburg man turns $1 into $500 a week for life."
When Ramsey gained possession of the money a few days later he got a cashier's check from Wells Fargo for the full amount and cashed it at an Amscot store. Tampa Bay Times reports Ramsey was charged more than $14,000 in fees by Amscot.
Ramsey walked away with $19,678 in cash and 268 money orders, each for $1,000. Then the shopping sprees began.
Ramsey cashed 21 of the money orders on November 6, and multiple money orders were cashed every day after that, according to Financial Juneteenth. On Black Friday he got $8,000 and bought flat-screen TVs at Wal-Mart. A trip to Tyrone Square Mall, the Ellenton outlet mall and the Wagon Wheel Flea Market resulted in so many new clothes purchased he had to get plastic bins to hold them all. Ramsey also purchased about 40 Timex watches for his family, at $19.95 a piece.
When Ramsey showed up at the St. Petersburg courthouse December 3 to receive a copy of his 662-page guardianship file, with $662 in cash to pay for it, Judge Laughlin took action.
"I got suspicious when they told me he was downstairs with a pocket full of money," the judge says.
A detective was called out to Loving Care, where Ramsey handed over $118,000 in money orders from his locked closet. A court investigator was assigned to determine where the rest of the money went. Ramsey's family admits he bought them things, including new phones and cash gifts.
"Giving $300 here, $400 there, that wouldn't account for the amount of money that is missing," Laughlin says.
Police are investigating whether anyone took illegal advantage of Ramsey as exploitation of the disabled or elderly is a felony.
Due to Ramsey's windfall he is in jeopardy of losing his Medicaid benefits, which pays for his medical bills, and SSI, a needs-based program that covers his $1,000-a-month room and board and would cover expensive nursing care he may need in the future.
"There are certain income and resource restrictions in order for you to be eligible for the benefits," says Patti Patterson to the Tampa Bay Times, a Social Security Administration spokesperson. "So you can only have so much in the bank."
Had Judge Laughlin known about Ramsey's winnings sooner she could have set-up a special needs trust that would have allowed the money to be spent for his benefit but not jeopardized his government assistance.
Ramsey only has one response to the entire situation: "They took my money."

LLB Law
The LLB is a law degree that qualifies you for exemption from the academic stage of professional legal education, recognised by the two main legal professional bodies: the Bar Council (barristers) and the Law Society (solicitors).
This course meets the requirement for the first step of your training to become a fully qualified lawyer or barrister in England and Wales.
In the study, you will develop your knowledge of all aspects of law at lectures and seminars, and supplement this with your own independent study. Lectures are often interactive, involving exercises and informal assessment by other students, and by you of your own work. Seminars are small group discussions which you will need to prepare for in advance. Here you will learn to analyse legal principles and apply them to practical situations, assess competing arguments and choose between alternative approaches. Group work and moots (pretend courts) will hone your verbal arguing and presentation skills.
The course will also teach you to do legal research, and to review information from academic sources, journals and electronic resources. As you progress, you will have the opportunity to do your own research into an aspect of law which the course has not covered.
You can opt to extend the course by a year, and spend a year doing a legal work placement, which we will help you to find. The course also includes careers events and talks by guest speakers from the legal profession.

On a snowy winter day, we crammed 18 people into a Chicago barbershop built for a dozen, so we could shoot the foldout magazine cover of Positively Aware's annual HIV Drug Guide. It is always a challenge when you have to work with 13 subjects and have them all engaged, while maintaining the identity of the space and leaving room for the magazine logo, text, and the fold.
When I received a Photek Softlighter II for Christmas in 2015, it quickly became one of my most treasured tools. I first became aware of this miraculous modifier when I discovered my favorite photographer, Art Streiber's work on Instagram and I noticed him using a ten sided umbrella while shooting Placido Domingo for Vanity Fair. I loved the way it looked and rather than just asking him in a comment what he was using, I went on a day long journey to find it and once I did I never looked back.

born on 22/5/1930 in Ilford, Essex, England, United Kingdom
died on 7/3/2013 in Basildon, Essex, United Kingdom
Biography Biography
Kenneth Daniel Ball (22 May 1930[1] 7 March 2013) was an English jazz musician, best known as the bandleader, lead trumpet player and vocalist in Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen.[2]
Ball was born in Ilford, Essex. At the age of 14 he left school to work as a clerk in an advertising agency, but also started taking trumpet lessons.[2] He began his career as a semi-professional sideman in bands, whilst also working as a salesman and for the advertising agency. He turned professional in 1953 and played the trumpet in bands led by Sid Phillips, Charlie Galbraith, Eric Delaney and Terry Lightfoot before forming his own trad jazz band - Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen - in 1958.[1][2] His dixieland band was at the forefront of the early 1960s UK jazz revival.[3]
In 1961 their recording of Cole Porter's "Samantha" (Pye 7NJ.2040 - released Feb. 1961) became a hit,[1] and at the end of 1961 they reached No. 2 on both the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and the UK Singles Chart, with "Midnight in Moscow" (Pye 7NJ.2049 - released Nov. 1961) .[3] The record sold over one million copies, earning gold disc status.[4] Their next single "March of the Siamese Children" (Pye 7NJ.2051 - released Feb. 1962), from 'The King and I', topped the pop music magazine, New Musical Express chart on 9 March 1962,[1] further hits followed and such was their popularity in the UK that Ball was featured, alongside Cliff Richard, Brenda Lee, Joe Brown, Craig Douglas and Frank Ifield, on the cover of the New Musical Express in July 1962, although in the U.S. they remained a 'one-hit wonder'.
In January 1963, New Musical Express reported that the biggest trad jazz event to be staged in Britain had taken place at Alexandra Palace. The event included George Melly, Diz Disley, Acker Bilk, Chris Barber, Alex Welsh, Ken Colyer, Monty Sunshine, Bob Wallis, Bruce Turner, Mick Mulligan and Ball.[5] The same year, Ball became the first British jazzman to become an honorary citizen of New Orleans,[4] and appeared in the 1963 film Live It Up!, featuring Gene Vincent.[1]
In 1968 the band appeared with Louis Armstrong during his last European tour.[1] Ball later appeared on BBC Television's highly rated review of the '60s music scene Pop Go The Sixties, performing "Midnight In Moscow" with his Jazzmen on the show broadcast on BBC 1, on 1 January 1970, and his continued success was aided by guest appearances on every edition of the first six series of the BBC's Morecambe and Wise Show. He later claimed that the peak of his career was when Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen played at the reception for the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana.[1]
Ball and his band enjoyed one of the longest unbroken spells of success for trad bands, and his status rivals contemporaries Acker Bilk and Chris Barber. Their joint album, The Best of Ball, Barber and Bilk, reached No. 1 in the UK Albums Chart.[6][7] He has charted fourteen Top 50 hit singles in the UK alone.[3] All such releases were issued on the Pye record label.
In 2001 Ball was part of the recording of an album on the Decca label. It featured Don Lusher, Acker Bilk, John Chilton and the Feetwarmers, John Dankworth, Humphrey Lyttelton and George Melly, and was entitled British Jazz Legends Together.
Ball continued to tour until shortly before his death, his last scheduled concert being, aptly, with Acker Bilk and Chris Barber at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall on 21 February 2013.[8] He died at Basildon Hospital, Essex, where he was being treated for pneumonia.[9]

Q: Moving the server to new location We just moved our dedicated server to a new DC (Colocation). I modified the ifcfg-eth0 with the new IP and gateway but the server is not responding yet. As far as I know adding the new IP in eth0 would be enough to make the server online. Is there anything else to be modified?

A: Hopefully you restarted networking services after modifying the network IP and gateway information. A service network restart will do this for you.
You'll also want to edit your /etc/hosts file.

Thailand's new civilian government will retain the power to arbitrarily detain critics despite the imminent easing of junta-era security controls, prompting warnings from rights groups of enduring "martial law".
Nearly 2,000 people have been tried in military courts since now-prime minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha seized power in a 2014 coup.
The junta eased a ban on political activities last year in the run-up to national elections and the former army chief phased out dozens of additional junta-enacted orders Tuesday, transferring military cases to civilian courts.
But the government retained over 100 orders — including the right for the military to detain suspects for seven days on national security grounds.
"This is martial law used during an emergency crisis, but we've had elections and a new government so why is it still imposed?" said Anon Chalawan, of the legal monitoring group iLaw.
Prayut, who was also officially endorsed by Thailand's king Wednesday as defence minister, has called his original invoking of junta-era powers as a way of "solving problems".
But political analyst Titipol Phakdeewanich said the continuing restrictions showed that full democracy remained a distant prospect for Thais.
"I think they know people will be more critical of this government," he said.
Thailand held elections in March, and Prayut holds a slim majority in the lower house through a coalition of almost 20 parties, which — together with a military-appointed Senate — voted him in as civilian prime minister.
Prayut's political opponents slammed the process, which included the temporary suspension from parliament of his biggest rival.
Despite questions over his legitimacy, the ex-army chief got down to the nitty gritty of forming a cabinet.
The picks endorsed by the king Wednesday include junta number two Prawit Wongsuwan as deputy prime minister and pro-marijuana Bhumjaithai party leader Anutin Charnvirakul as health minister.
They still need to be sworn in and present policy statements.
The flurry of political activity came after a rash of attacks on pro-democracy activists that remain unsolved.
In late June, activist Sirawith Seritiwat — known for staging anti-junta protests — was put in hospital after being set upon by stick-wielding men.
Police on Wednesday charged eight people for allegedly posting "false information" on Facebook which accused authorities of being behind the attack.
The charge carries a maximum sentence of five years.

Inspired by BLDGBLOG 's recent project of scanning and blogging about books found in the CCA archives, I am now going to do the same with books I come across.
The first is one I purchased for 50 cents on Friday: "National Geographic on Indians of the Americas; a Color-illustrated Record" by Matthew W. Sterling.
Mostly, what I find endearing about this - and other National Geographic records from the 1950's - is the staging and coloring. Apparently this type of photography is called the "red shirt school of photography " which used kodachrome film that enhances reds to brilliant levels.


Selecting a career is one of the biggest decisions you will ever make. It will affect where you live, how much you make and the lifestyle you will enjoy. So you want to choose a career that is best suited to meet your expectations, needs and long-term goals. Here are some common mistakes people usually commit while choosing a career.
Good decisions are made by taking ample amount of time. With good peace-of-mind and solitude to look at different options, a person is able to make the right career choice. Plan in advance of what you want to do. The very first step is to list down the things you are interested in doing. It is necessary to assess your own personal characteristics ie your skills and interests, your likes and dislikes, your strengths and weaknesses. When you match this, you will be able to get closer to your career goal.
For most people figuring out their purpose in life and their dream career can be a simple and easier process while for others it may take a lifetime. Setting goals and just believing in them do not always work for everyone, which is why it is important to know who you are and where you want to be in life before deciding on your dream career. So try to understand what works best for you, don't get swayed by predictions of industry trends, career counsellors, aptitude tests, parental expectations or peer pressure. It is good to take advice from people but don't let them dictate terms to you.
Jobs in certain occupations are concentrated in specific cities - New York or Los Angeles for example - or in certain types of locations - such as cities versus rural areas. If you live somewhere that doesn't offer many opportunities in your field and you aren't willing to relocate, you will have trouble getting a job.

California Pizza Kitchen opens at New Salt Lake City International Airport
Restaurant located in Concourse A West of The New SLC
California Pizza Kitchen (CPK) opened at The New Salt Lake City International Airport in Utah. A $4.1B project, the unveiled airport features two concourses—North and South—that are connected by a tunnel and will replace five existing concourses at the older airport when all is said and done. The first phase has opened and CPK has debuted in the $4.1B project. The second phase will open in 2024.
Hand-tossed pizzas, salad, sandwiches, and craft cocktails make up a good portion of the restaurant's menu. Plus, CPK's newest unit, which can be found in Concourse A West, also offers a specialty breakfast menu.
Concessionaire HMSHost operates the restaurant at the new SLC between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. The design of The New SLC CPK permits a lot of light to enter the unit from tall, rear windows. The light catches the casual-dining chain's signature bright yellow tile wall, providing for an energetic environment, according to an announcement.
"CPK opening at The New SLC is a cause for celebration on so many levels—from our dedicated team at HMSHost, whose steadfast commitment to this project has been unstoppable, to the new state-of-the-art airport terminal with a development team determined to provide only best-in-class amenities for the most discerning travelers—we can't wait to bring our innovative and globally-inspired cuisine to everyone who visits this unparalleled cutting-edge hub from all over the world," said Giorgio Minardi, EVP, Global Development & Franchise Operations for CPK.
The breakfast menu includes the CPK Classic Breakfast Sandwich, which features a choice of Applewood smoked ham or Nueske's Applewood smoked bacon with cage-free eggs, prepared omelet-style, with mayo and melted Cheddar on a toasted Brioche bun, served with Crispy Parmesan Potatoes. Guests can select the Crispy Brioche French Toast. This golden-brown cornflake-crusted Brioche comes topped with seasonal fresh berry compote, vanilla bean yogurt and powdered sugar.

Blue Jays drop first series
[Peter Paul Media] — Home runs from third baseman Maicer Izturis and right fielder Jose Bautista weren't enough as the Cleveland Indians defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 3-2 Wednesday at Rogers Centre.
Indians DH Mark Reynolds hit a one-run shot in the 11th inning on a 1-2 count, sealing the victory for the tribe, now 2-0 on the season. The homer came just two innings after Blue Jays right fielder Jose Bautista hit a homerun of his own in the bottom of the ninth to lock the game at 2.
Brendan Morrow pitched six innings, fanning eight batters and allowing six hits in a no-decision. Cleveland's starter Ubaldo Jimenez allowed 3 hits and 1 earned run across 6 innings in a no-decision.
Shortstop Jose Reyes and left fielder Melky Cabrera collected their first hits as Blue Jays and second baseman Emilio Bonafacio struck out three times during the game despite making some timely defensive plays during the game.
Maicer Izturis hit the teams first home run of 2013 to right field in the bottom of the third, tying the game at one after being charged earlier in the inning with a throwing error to first base attempting a double play.
The Blue Jays have opened 0-2 this season for the first time since 2004 and their nine hits to start off the season ties a Jays record set by the 1990 and 1998 ball clubs. In a post-game press conference, Manager John Gibbons said his team was not pressing the issue of winning due to the high expectations set by the organization adding that Indians pitching "Shut us down".
"There are going to be stretches when we're not going to score six, seven runs a game," said Bautista after the game. "We haven't been getting on base too much and we haven't been getting a lot of hits. But it's only two games and I don't think anybody in here is concerned about that."
Toronto will send lefty Mark Buehrle to the mound Thursday in the final game of the three-game set. Cleveland counters with RHP Brett Myers. Game time is set for 7:07 p.m.

I enter a swamp as a sacred place, a sanctum sanctorum… I seemed to have reached a new world, so wild a place…far away from human society. What's the need of visiting far-off mountains and bogs, if a half-hour's walk will carry me into such wildness and novelty."
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden and Other Writings

Our excitement grew as we approached the Museum of Flight. We could see planes parked all around the building and parking lot. My 11-year old step son quickly dropped the DS and became interested in looking around us. Tell your son we are going to a museum - not so interested. Tell your son we are going to a museum where he can sit in the cockpit of a fighter jet - interested!
The Boeing Museum of Flight is one of the largest flight museums in the world. It hosts over 150 historically significant planes and space crafts, includes the Red Barn (the original Boeing manufacturing site) and serves more than 400,000 visitors annually.
We spent over four hours at the museum and saw less than half of the exhibits! We went straight to the modern era, as we were lured by rockets and the history of space flight. If you are only going to see half of the museum, this was a good half to see. We promised our step-son we would return next year to check out the other half.
We had a real blast. There are so many hands on activities. For younger kids, they have a separate little play area that looked from the outside to be geared towards younger children. However, all three of us enjoyed hanging out in there! It had lots of hands on information about materials, a hang gliding simulator, a hot air balloon, and some small aerodynamic models.
In a hallway in route to the flight control tower, there is a hallway lined with videos on the history and origins of flight. We could have spent all afternoon watching those videos, but after spending hours before getting to them, we were too tired to keep standing and had to press on.
The largest room in the modern section houses a ton of original planes, both parked on the ground and hanging from the ceiling. It's an adventure just exploring this one room. Several planes are open to walk inside of or climb into the cockpit. Smaller rooms showcase the history of space travel. In one room, you can actually walk into a replica of a section of the international space station and see how they work and sleep in space.
Several volunteers were available to ask questions. These volunteers had a history of working in the industry and wore badges asking us to ask them questions. Overall, the whole museum was inviting for hands on learning and interaction. Perfect for an 11 year old boy!
There were several types of simulators spread throughout the modern flight exhibit. These were the highlights of my son's experience. He did the hang glider simulator, moon lander simulator, EVA simulator plus the two flight simulators.
My fiance and son getting out of the second flight simulator.
The first flight simulator we did (all three of us!) was a "4D" simulator that was similar to a roller coaster/theater type simulator. We wore 3D glasses and sat in roller coaster type seats on a platform that moved in two axis parallel to the ground. The simulator ran like a movie and simulated a fighter pilot performing a mission. After the simulation, my fiance and I were both incredibly nauseated! Luckily, seats were strategically placed for people exiting the simulator.
The second flight simulator is a two person manned vehicle. One person flies while the other can either be a passenger or shoot enemies. My fiance really didn't want to do another flight simulator, but my son was so eager to do it, they decided to give it a go. Lucky for me, I got to observe only.
This simulator required training, since the participants actually get to maneuver the "vehicle" and interact with the simulation. The simulator was able to spin 360 degrees around two axis, a horizontal axis and a axis through the nose and tail of the simulator. I watched as they spun upside down, dived straight down and climbed straight up. So glad I wasn't in that simulator! My fiance said it wasn't so bad, as long as you were the one in control. As soon as he gave control to our son, he almost instantly felt motion sick and took the controls back. That's OK though; my son enjoyed shooting down enemy planes.
The simulators are better suited for older kids. I watched a very young child who just barely made the height/weight requirement back out once he was actually in the cockpit of the second simulator we tried. He started crying while his older brother was just grinning with excitement. Unfortunately, the simulator does require 2 participants, one willing to drive. Thankful for the older brother, an employee was willing to ride with him. The dad did not want to ride (I don't blame him!).
Balsa wood glider - pick them up at the gift shop!
Don't forget to leave time to shop! We arrived at the gift shop right at closing time (sorry!). The gift store is an experience in itself. They have lots and lots of toys, models, accessories, clothes, science kits, and more!
Make sure to get your kids these wooden gliders (pictured to the left). They are $2 and are hours of entertainment! Might want to pick up a spare, as my son broke his within a few minutes and was given his dads. The broken one actually still flew, but you know how kids are about broken things! Make sure you fly them in a large grassy area. My son and fiance were trying to do it in the street in front of our apartment, but stopped early as they were scared they might breaking something.
We also picked up a model plane as a souvenir for my son. These models are meant for looking only, not playing. My son discovered that as his model came apart within a few minutes of playing with it. I super glued it back together and now he knows. That's why it was great to buy the glider in addition, as it was something he could play with for hours on end!
We also picked up a couple post cards, as we have decided to start a collection of post cards from our summer activities. I'm going to write the dates on them and maybe make a memory book of them. Post cards are so cheap, so they are a great collectors item!
Flight Activities - flight simulators, learn to fly, aviation learning center, jet city air tours, old thyme aviation or fly your own plane to the museum!
Low on funds but really want to go? The first Thursday of every month from 5-9 p.m is FREE!

Tokyo 2020: Budget uncertainty will continue to 2019
By Sherry Zheng, Associated Press | Posted - July 18, 2017 at 4:30 a.m.
TOKYO (AP) — Uncertainty over the final budget for the 2020 Olympic Games will continue until 2019, the head of the Tokyo Organizing Committee said on Tuesday.
"We will continue to explore more cost efficiencies," Tokyo 2020 CEO Toshiro Muto told the foreign media amid concerns regarding the higher-than-projected costs.
The estimated cost of hosting the games has doubled to 1.4 trillion yen ($12.6 billion) from the 730 billion yen ($6.6 billion) that was proposed when Tokyo won the bid in 2013.
Tokyo has cut some costs by shifting to temporary facilities and pre-existing ones, including some outside Tokyo, instead of building new facilities.
Muto said 60 percent of the venues are existing ones, and 40 percent are outside Japan's capital.
This includes plans to hold some baseball and softball games in Fukushima prefecture, the site of the nuclear plant meltdowns that followed the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Muto noted that a major theme for Tokyo 2020 will be recovery from the devastating disaster of nearly a decade earlier.
Muto said construction of the controversial main stadium is well underway.

Solicitors told to stay behind and explain late guilty pleas
Criminal defence practitioners will be required to discuss, in open court, with a judge the reason for a late guilty plea as part of government measures to reduce a 'disproportionately high' number of cracked trials.
HM Courts & Tribunals Service wrote to solicitors this week, informing them of changes in court practice across Thames Valley after conducting a three-month data collection exercise of cases involving a guilty plea entered on the day of the trial.
The letter, seen by the Gazette, says: 'You will appreciate that we are still double listing our trial courts because less than 50% are effective on the day. Whilst looking at trial performance, the local criminal justice board noted a disproportionately high number of our cracked trials were due to late guilty pleas (to the original offences charged) on the date of trial.
'Whilst it is accepted that there will always be cases that crack on the day of trial for various reasons, it is fair to say that a large number of cases where guilty pleas were entered could have been dealt with in advance of the trial, thereby freeing up valuable trial time.'
After reviewing 120 cases, HMCTS proposes seven steps to reduce the number of cracked trials and 'capture accurate information to identify the root causes of the problem'.
Magistrates will be required to ensure the reason for a late guilty plea being entered on the day of trial is recorded accurately on the Cracked and Ineffective Trial Form. 'All parties will therefore be required to remain in court at the conclusion of the hearing to participate in a discussion (in open court) led by the presiding justice to ensure the reasons for the late change of plea are recorded,' HMCTS says.
The amount of enhanced costs likely to be sought by the Crown should the matter proceed to trial will be identified at the trial fixing hearing and recorded on the Preparation for Effective Trial form.
The court should award appropriate uplifts in costs to reflect late guilty pleas and ask for an explanation for the timing of the plea to help the court decide what, if any, sentencing discount should be given.
The letter states that the court will continue to monitor the number of trials where guilty pleas are entered on the day and reason why they are late.


25. Far from us is the thought of materializing divinity. The image of an intelligent universal fluid is evidently only a comparison, but adapted to give a more just idea of God than the pictures which represent him with a human face. Its object is to make us comprehend the possibility of the presence of God everywhere, and of his occupying himself with everything.

Recommendation ITU-T H.264.2 provides accompanying reference software for Rec. ITU-T H.264 | ISO/IEC 14496-10 as an electronic attachment. The software is an integral part of Rec. ITU-T H.264.2.
The purpose of this Recommendation is to provide the following.
• Reference decoder software capable of decoding bitstreams that conform to Rec. ITU-T H.264 | ISO/IEC 14496‑10 in a manner that conforms to the decoding process specified in Rec. ITU‑T H.264 | ISO/IEC 14496‑10.
• Reference encoder software capable of producing bitstreams that conform to Rec. ITU-T H.264 | ISO/IEC 14496‑10.
The use of this reference software is not required for making an implementation of an encoder or decoder in conformance to Rec. ITU-T H.264 | ISO/IEC 14496‑10. Requirements established in Rec. ITU‑T H.264 | ISO/IEC 14496‑10 take precedence over the behaviour of the reference software.
The edition approved in 2009-05 incorporated changes made to the reference software for Rec. ITU-T H.264 | ISO/IEC 14496-10 advanced video coding. The changes contain improvements of encoder compression capability, bug fixes, speed and memory resource usage improvements, restructuring of the software for readability and ease of software maintenance, and the addition of support for new profiles of ITU-T H.264. The new profiles are from the set of profiles targeting professional applications that were added to Rec. ITU-T H.264 | ISO/IEC 14496-10 in 2007. No changes were made to the text of the Recommendation.
The edition approved in 2010-06 contained improvements of encoder compression capability, bug fixes, speed and memory resource usage improvements, restructuring of the software for readability and ease of software maintenance. In addition, this edition includes support for the Scalable Baseline, Scalable High, Scalable High Intra, Multiview High, and Stereo High profiles.

ITU-T H.264 | ISO/IEC 14496-10 (Multiview High and Stereo High) are provided in separate software solutions.
The edition approved in 2012-01 only introduced changes to the reference software of Recommendation ITU‑T H.264.2 (the text is the same as of the edition approved 2010-06). The changes in the reference software improve the encoder compression capability, fix bugs, and improve speed and memory resource usage. The software was also restructured for better readability and ease of maintenance.
The edition approved in 2014-07 contains bug fixes for the profiles specified in Annex A of Rec. ITU-T H.264 | ISO/IEC 14496-10. In addition, the edition includes support for the MFC High profile specified in Annex H of Rec. ITU‑T H.264 | ISO/IEC 14496-10, support for the Multiview Depth High profile specified in Annex I of Rec. ITU‑T H.264 | ISO/IEC 14496-10, and support for the Enhanced Multiview Depth High profile specified in Annex J of Rec. ITU-T H.264 | ISO/IEC 14496-10, which are provided in separate software packages.
This edition includes support for the MFC Depth High profile, which was included in the MFC plus Depth extension in ITU‑T H.264 V10. It also includes miscellaneous minor improvements and bug fixes relative to the prior approved version. This Recommendation was developed jointly with ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29/WG 11 (MPEG) and corresponds to part of ISO/IEC 14496-5, up to and including ISO/IEC 14496-5:2001 Amendment 39.

G.E. Smith The Riff Raff w/ Shane Theriot
NEW YEARS GIFT
Episode 38 with GE Smith
My guest today is Mr. G.E. Smith.As one of the most seen and heard guitarists in the heyday of late 70's - 80's era SNL (when the show was at it's peak) you would have no doubt seen G.E. on your TV set, mugging it up for the camera and playing a variety of cool vintage guitars while rubbing shoulders with the likes of guest guitarists Eddie Van Halen, Eric Clapton and David Gilmour. What a lot of people don't realize is that during this time (and often the very same day) GE was working with Bob Dylan, flying around the world and coming in for his "day gig" on SNL. He had just departed a huge 6 year run with Daryl Hall and John Oates.This episode of Riff Raff is particularly interesting because I get to interview the guitarist that once not only stood in my shoes but basically formed the mold-GE was the guitarist with Daryl Hall and John Oates in the era of MTV and those huge radio hits that we still hear on the radio today- Maneater, Private Eyes and Kiss is on My List just to name a few. But his resume doesn't stop there- he also worked with Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Mick Jagger and many many others.These days G.E. has a new album coming out with newly found collaborator and singer LeRoy Bell- Their new project is called "Stony Hill". It's a rootsy, raw pairing that is perfect for GE's guitar playing and songwriting. Check out "America" and "Black is the Color of my True Love's Hair" for a taste of this great pairing.We talk about guitars, Hall and Oates, Dylan, SNL, T-Bone Wolk, Stony Hill, guitars, why Eric Clapton took his pickup covers off of his Les Paul pickups in 1965 and all things in between.Shout out to my manager Charles Driebe (Blind Ambition Mgmt. for connecting the Riff Raff podcast w/ G.E.

LACEY Act, Wood Bugs, Cabinet Maker's $82 M Capital Spend
By Bill Esler February 08, 2012 | 11:36 pm EST
Acquisitions, regulation, and capital investment and reallocation in wood manufacturing topped the stories again this week. Furniture maker Knoll acquired two firms; HNI's earnings rose; a LACEY Act modification gained steam in Congress following Gibson Guitar's run-in with the Federal police over undocumented exotic wood.
Fortune Brands Home & Security upped its capital investment plans to $80 million for 2012, about a 17 percent rise from the $65 million it spent last year. Chris Klein, CEO, says the market is improving.
"It isn't off to the races yet," Klein told the Wall St. Journal, "but it is definitely firming up."
MasterBrand Cabinets parent Fortune Brands Home & Security, whose holdings (Simonton Windows, Therma-Tru Doors, Fypon Mouldings, etc.) are a barometer of the housing market revealed the increase as it announced a 3 percent rise - to $3.3 billion - in year-end earnings, up from what the division delivered last year before it spun from Fortune Brands. Kitchen and bath cabinetry cales totalled $1.256 billion for the year, up 5.7 percent.
But Fortune Brands Home & Security took a $90 million write-down, swinging to a loss in the fourth quarter. MasterBrand Cabinets scheduled an auction of equipment at its North Las Vegas production plant, the former Capital Cabinets, acquired during the go-go years of new home construction in the Western U.S.
