Shameless follows Frank Gallagher, an alcoholic, dysfunctional single father of six children living in a tough Chicago neighborhood. Fiona, the oldest, is a 20-something struggling to find her way in the world while serving as the de facto parent to her five siblings. Lip, the oldest brother, is a genius who would rather apply his sharp wit to petty crime than to academics. Ian, slightly younger, is gay in a neighborhood that isn't exactly gay-friendly, and in love with a closeted violent thug. Scrappy middle-schooler Debbie is fiercely devoted to her family, and Carl, only a year younger, has developed a frightening talent for pyrotechnics. Baby Liam is the youngest, and together they'll all go to any extreme to stay together and survive.

1 year, 2 days...
Matt Fraction e-mailed me a reminder Saturday that it had been a year since I updated this thing. Boy, when I called it "the least updated blog in the world" I wasn't kidding. What's more amusing is that so little has changed. Looking back at the February 10th, 2005 post, it feels like I'm still in the same funk I was a year ago and while I know that there have definitely been waves and crests since then, it's still a little troubling to think so much could be the same after a year.
Or maybe it's just the time of year. I suppose it's possible that the dull, grey wetness of Portland in the winter just starts to get to me by this time. I don't know.

Picking Up the Gauntlet...
Jamie S. Rich has issued the challenge. I can't just ignore his e-mail. I have to actually surf one of these internet waves, if for no other reason than it's something to post and get Mr. Rich off my back about how I own one of the most pointless, least updated blogs on the web. So I will answer these questions, even though I could just e-mail the six people who will read my answers directly...
1. Total amount of music files on your computer:
556 MB, 146 songs
2. The last CD you bought was: The soundtrack to Zach Braff's Garden State. I liked the film a lot, but *loved* the music.
3. What is the song you last listened to before reading this message? Luna covering Guns 'n' Roses' "Sweet Child of Mine."
4. Write down 5 songs you often listen to or that mean a lot to you.
1. R.E.M., "Nightswimming": I loved Automatic for the People when it first came out but hadn't listened to it in couple years. Lately Zadie and I have been listening to it once or twice a week before she goes to bed. It's a nice wind-down record, but for some reason she almost always stays awake for "Nightswimming" and then she's out like a light.
2. Weezer, "Good Life": Pinkerton has been one of my favorite records since about a week after it was released. As I grow older, "Good Life" just resonates with me more and more. I love Rivers Cuomo.
3. Bjork, "It's Oh So Quiet": I just find this song to be so completely wonderful as to be beyond words.
4. Black Star, "Children's Story": I love Mos Def. I love Talib Kweli. I love this cautionary tale of sellout MCs.
5. The Killers, "Jenny Was a Friend of Mine": I go through these record benders. I listen to the same record over and over and over and over again until all of my family and co-workers nearly hate the album and definitely hate me. I don't think "Jenny Was a Friend of Mine" would be on this list a year or two from now, but for now, I can't stop listening to it.
6. Who are you going to pass this stick to? (3 persons) and why?
B. Clay Moore, because he happened to just instant message me.
J. Torres, because he needs a distraction and I'm sure he'll have some interesting picks.
Ian Shaugnessy, because I want to see how many times the word "Timbaland" appears on his entry.

"Yes" or "No" Isn't as Important as "Why"
For the last month I've had a really hard time approaching anything critically. Books, movies, comics, food, television, music--I haven't been able to form any specific thoughts about any of it. I feel like I've had to rely purely on my gut because any objective evaluation has been virtually impossible. I'm just intellectually numb save for vague feelings devoid of explicable reason and rendering me completely useless in my job. Maybe I just need a nap.
Ocean's 12: A Discussion
PK: So, what'd you think?
JLJ: I *loved* it.
PK: Really?
PK: I was rather let down.
PK: I mean, I enjoyed myself, but it was too messy.
PK: There was no through-line in the plot.
PK: The script needed another go around.
PK: And that Julia Roberts robbery scene? It was painful.
PK: I give it a C. Mostly for the Matt Damon stuff.
JLJ: You need to pull the stick out of your ass.
JLJ: The characters were so natural
PK: No, they weren't characters.
JLJ: and as much as 11 was "American" this one was "European"
JLJ: B.S.
PK: They were not.
JLJ: I call bullshit on that!
PK: I mean, that shit with Pitt and Jones and Finney was so forced.
JLJ: No way!
PK: It came out of nowhere.
JLJ: I so disagree.
PK: And it was so fucking obvious.
PK: Girl whose father is a thief wants to catch her father.
PK: But they didn't even follow through with that in any way that made sense.
JLJ: Bah!
PK: The only two actors in there that were really being characters were Bernie Mac and Damon.
PK: And the ending was so pulled out of their ass.
JLJ: dude, you are sooo wrong
JLJ: Dude
PK: I mean, at least in the first one, you went... Ah ha!
PK: But this one was like, oh well, we actually pulled it off a long time ago, so all this other stuff was just bullshit.
JLJ: 11 is this superslick glitz glam American heist. It's in the most "American" city--one where everything is facade and nothing is substance and dollar is king
JLJ: 12 is totally old world
PK: I get what you're saying.
PK: But it didn't make sense.
JLJ: It's "European" to a T
PK: It had plot holes all over the place and the editing was crap.
PK: Actually, the editing was okay, but the script was confused.
JLJ: It's the Italian Job and the Lavender Hill Mob and the Pink Panther all rolled into one.
PK: The actors were gliding on charisma.
PK: See, at least the Italian Job had a narrative drive.
JLJ: Dude. Seriously, how do you poop with that stick shoved so far up your butt?
PK: This one just jumped around.
PK: Oh get off it.
JLJ: :-)
PK: You don't have to love everything Soderbergh does.
JLJ: Actually, I do!
PK: Be that as it may, you don't have to.
PK: He was collecting a check on this one.
JLJ: But even if I didn't, I would still recognize this for the quality popcorn that it is
JLJ: No way.
PK: The script was crap.
JLJ: The chemistry is so good! The pit-pat-snap was spot on.
PK: He should have gotten Scott Frank again.
JLJ: I totally disagree.
JLJ: The script was *exactly* what it needed to be.
PK: Lazy?
JLJ: Dude.
PK: Disorganized?
JLJ: Have you been drinking?
JLJ: I'm totally posting this to my blog with the names removed.
PK: The dialogue was great. The plot was miserable.
PK: You can post my name.
PK: Hell, I am a film critic now.
JLJ: Ha!
JLJ: So that's where the stick came from!
JLJ: They install them as soon as you go pro!
PK: Nonsense. You just can't get get Soderbergh's dick out of your mouth long enough to see straight.
PK: Seriously, do you cup his balls when you do that?
PK: Or is he one of those "no hands" guys?
JLJ: I would if he asked me.
PK: Well, you've just lost your credibility there.
JLJ: I love that he isn't afraid to make unabashed popcorn flicks.
PK: I do too, but this one was a mess.
PK: Now The Limey, that was brilliantly plotted. Ocean's 11 was too.
JLJ: Only because you tried to cut it up and shove it into your notion of what it was supposed to be.
PK: This one had too many balls in the air.
PK: Not at all.
JLJ: If you just go with the flow it's a fantastic film
PK: My notion was that it should make sense.
PK: That they should payoff the setup.
JLJ: If it doesn't make sense to you, you weren't paying close enough attention
JLJ: The plot isn't rocket science.
JLJ: There's no faulty logic.
PK: Exactly.
JLJ: Now you're not making sense!
PK: I didn't say there was. I said that the motion of the plot jumped around too much.
JLJ: And I'm saying you'd be fine with the jumpin' if you weren't coming down on that stick everytime you landed!
Currently the Best Live Band in Rock is...
Billy Joe & the boys on Jimmy Kimmel
photo by Wendy Marvel
The first time I saw Green Day live was at least thirteen years ago at a tiny club in Phoenix, Arizona called the Mason Jar. I prolly listened to a cassette of 39 Smooth a thousand times before that show. I was somewhat less prepared for them this time around.
I'd heard the new record, American Idiot, quite a bit in the office and while I admired both the political and rock opera goals the band had set for themselves, I wasn't sure if they'd evolved as far as they'd set out to.
Then my friend and co-worker, Joe, invited me to go with him to their show at the Rose Garden. I'd seen Green Day quite a bit in small venues so I wasn't sure if I really needed to see them in a big arena venue.
I was less sure after we arrived and searched for seats. The show was all general admission, despite there being seats for everything but the floor. It was a weird setup and one that forced Joe and I up to the upper seating area.
The place was dirty with kids. The under-20 set was out in force and ready for a good time. I never know what to expect from a Portland audience. Sometimes they're super into it and sometime they're way too cool for their own good.
And while the general admission setup irritated me a bit at first, it was exactly what these kids needed. They were primed and ready for this and from the "American Idiot" opening through to the obvious, yet perfect ender of "Time of Your Life" Green Day obliged them, playing with more energy, enthusiasm, and contagious excitement than their decade-younger selves could have possibly imagined.
Every song, hell every chord felt like it had been plucked from rock heaven especially for this union between band and audience. New material, sprinkled with songs from every period of their career seemlessly flowing back and forth from four-piece pop to three-piece punk and keeping the crowd coasting on each wave and break. During their cover of Operation Ivy's "Knowledge," Billy Joe went to the audience and picked "a new band." A drummer, a bass player, and a would-be guitar god all picked from the people on the floor jammed through the last verse and a rollicking final chorus cementing an enduring connection between performer and concert-goer. It's a bit that you just know that they do every night, but it doesn't matter. It felt perfect--just for us and more intimate than the tiniest club I'd ever seen them in. Billy Joe was funny and personable and passionate--a viable heir to the dearly departed king of political punk, The Clash's Joe Strummer.
And the production was equally amazing. Light shows, pyrotechnics, flags, banners, and confetti-firing cannons. This was a 70s era rock show for a modern audience. A presentation that would make Kiss proud and Weezer jealous. Anything more I could say on that mark wouldn't possibly do the spectacle justice.
Sometimes when you're "growing old," you just feel the "old" and forget what fun the "growing" can be. Green Day is a band whose growth may not be obvious on the surface but who've still transformed into something greater. They've avoided the tired aches that often plague a punk trio after being together for this long and instead have stretched in unexpected directions, growing into a truly great rock 'n' roll band.

Wildlife Photographer Reveals Terrifying 'scream Face' Of Black-browed Albatross Bearing Its 'teeth'
By Josh Saunders
A wildlife photographer has revealed the terrifying 'SCREAM FACE' of the Black-browed Albatross as it bears its 'teeth'.
Alex Macipe, 49, captured the bird opening-wide to reveal rows of shocking serrated sharp points within its beak called the tomia.
PICS BY ALEX MACIPE / CATERS NEWS
The male used the signal as a defence mechanism to protect his nest from other albatrosses, as he waited for a female.
The Black-browed Albatross spend five to eight years at sea, after their feathers develop waterproofing, and only return to land to mate in the colony where they were born.
To attract a female, the male amasses a mound of mud, excrement, tussock grass and seaweed – and then assembles their love-nest.
Other birds looking for ideal places to entice a mate try to intimidate those with nests in the battle to woo females.
The Falklands are host to more than 75% of the world's Black-browed Albatross population, many reside at Steeple Jason Island, where the photos were taken.
Alex, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, said: "This albatross was fighting with another, he was a bit nervous, when suddenly another passed by and he opened his wings and mouth.
"There was another albatross passing while this one was waiting for a female when he became a bit anxious.
"When the albatross go out to sea for the first time they spend between five and eight years at sea before coming on land again.
"Albatross chicks feathers don't develop a waterproof covering keep them warm, so they cannot fly into the sea to find food.
"This means they spend 16 months to a year in the nest eating what its parents bring from the sea, after that they spend between five and eight years at sea.
"They return to the same colony where they were born and wait for the young females to arrive to become a couple.
"The island had the biggest colony of albatross in the world.
"When you have thousands of albatrosses, you have to check which ones are more active and focus on that animal waiting for them to make a certain move.
"It was a very good picture and no so common situations, that have to be very patient for.
"These kinds of pictures are important because it makes me feel that I am helping the wildlife, in the sense that people can know the different species.
"From there they can understand the issues that animal faces in the wild, with Black-browed Albatross it's fishing nets.
"A lot of these albatross dying when they are caught in big fishing nets in the ocean."
Conservation efforts on the Falkland Islands that visitors stay four and a half metres away from any nest to avoid disrupting the wildlife.
Often birds like penguins will curiously approach visitors, but for the Black-browed Albatross keeping a distance is vitally important for each creature's individual survival.
Alex said: "The problem f you get too close is that the animal will be afraid and leave the nest.
"From that you create a reproduction problem for that bird, as they will need to build another nest to wait for the females.
"If one of the males flies away and goes to sea he will lose that place and another albatross may use his nest."
The sub-Antarctic birds are monogamous, pairing with their mate for life but usually return between once for a premating practice run but not mating until later in life.
Once an egg is laid both parents alternate in incubating it for 70 days, after which the chicks take four months to be mature enough to take their first flight.
The fascinating birds can fly at speeds up to 68mph (110kmph) and while fishing can dive five metres underwater.
There are believed to be more than 1.2million Black-browed Albatross worldwide, with the birds being known to live over 70 years.
Alex said: "The funny thing is that there are no regular services, no plane or ship to get to the island, so we had to go by boat.
"You need good weather to cross into the small islands, it took us one night during very rough seas.
"You see so many things coming into your eyes and your mind, feeling this sensation of just being in nature that is so complete.
"You often don't understand the meaning of your pictures until you are back at home.
"There are several pairs of albatross kissing with their beaks too, this is a more common situation but a beautiful one too.
"Some of the photographs were used in one of my exhibitions in an Argentinian international airport for three months, so could have been seen by five million people."

Capitol Influence
Central Oregon might lose all four of its state representatives. Will the region's clout go with them?
By Christian Trejbal
ep. Knute Buehler, R-Bend, is running for governor. He is happy to discuss taxes, the Public Employees Retirement System and transportation with voters, but there's one touchy topic he does not want to talk about with Central Oregon voters.
When asked what might happen to the region's influence in the Capitol when he and perhaps all of Central Oregon's House delegation leave office in the next year, Buehler and his team go silent. "This is not something that we'll be commenting on at this time," his campaign manager Rebecca Tweed wrote in an email.
That's unfortunate, because the region's voters need to pay close attention to what comes next if they want to keep a strong voice in Salem.
A political turning point?
In recent legislative sessions, Central Oregon has enjoyed out-sized influence thanks to a combination of political circumstances and experience.
Buehler is the early frontrunner to be the Republican nominee for governor in 2018. A $500,000 campaign donation from Nike co-founder Phil Knight helped cement his standing.
He didn't announce his candidacy until August, but during this year's legislative session, many assumed he'd run. As the nominee-in-waiting, then, he had the Republicans' largest megaphone. When he spoke up on Republican issues – and Central Oregon issues – reporters, lawmakers and Oregonians tended to listen.
But running for governor means he won't be running for another term as Bend's representative. Goodbye megaphone if he loses.
It's a gamble for Central Oregon. If Buehler wins, the region will have the strongest advocate in the Oregon State Capitol since the late Ben Westlund was Treasurer. If he loses, the region will have nothing to show for it.
And that's just the start. All four representatives whose districts include large parts of Deschutes County have declared they are not seeking re-election, or at least are considering not running.
Rep. Knute Buehler is running for governor.
Rep. Mike McLane, R-Powell Butte, is the House minority leader. He could land a Trump administration appointment as Oregon's U.S. attorney any day. He's also being floated as a potential challenger to Buehler in the Republican primary.
Rep. John Huffman, R-The Dalles, has announced he will not seek re-election and is a candidate for appointment to be the State U.S. Department of Agriculture rural development director.
Rep. Gene Whisnant, R-Sunriver, is still talking things over with his family and has not decided if he will seek re-election next year.
At least two and potentially all four of Central Oregon's representatives might not be around after the 2018 election. Then what?
Senate Republican Leader Ted Ferrioli, R-John Day, and Sen. Tim Knopp, R-Bend, will continue to be power players. But in the House, the region could lose a lot of influence.
"Whether you love them or hate them, we have political veterans over there now who understand the game," said Erik Kancler, a veteran lobbyist and owner of Kancler Consulting who represents clients from Central Oregon.
Leadership and experience
entral Oregon's entire House delegation is Republican, the minority party in Salem. Nevertheless, they had a decent record this year when advocating for the region's need.
"It's no secret that we are far from the Portland and Salem power base," Kancler said. "Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, it's important to understand that there is a geographic and in some sense a cultural divide that needs to be addressed."

If Kate Brown announces her bid for re-election, she will be against Bend Rep. Knute Buehler, a republican.
Huffman has been in the House for 10 years and Whisnant for more than a decade. You learn a few tricks in that time, including how to compromise.
"I have the experience of 14 years and the experience of being in the majority, in a 30-30 house, and in the minority and super minority," Whisnant said. "I wish my career had more time in the majority but I worked hard to be a contributor to the overall work regardless of the partisan makeup of the legislature."
McLane, as House minority leader, has considerable sway with his party and in negotiations with Democrats.
And Buehler is running for governor.
That combination of experience and leadership helped secure some choice committee assignments. McLane, Whisnant and Huffman all serve on the powerful Joint Ways and Means Committee, making budget decisions. Whisnant is also vice-chair of the House Higher Education and Workforce Development Committee, a prominent position to advocate for Oregon State University-Cascades. Buehler, meanwhile, serves on the Revenue Committee.
The four of them – or subsets of them – frequently collaborate on bills important to Deschutes County and Central Oregon. Not all of those bills pass, but even when they do not they become part of the larger conversation.
This year, there was some of the typical feel-good legislation, like a bill to name Highway 20 the "Oregon Medal of Honor Highway" and another to commemorate Deschutes County's 100th birthday. Both passed.
There were substantive bills, too. One that became law requires the Oregon Arts Commission to consider regional differences when determining eligibility for grants. It should help arts groups in Central Oregon better compete for state funding. Another, which Huffman said he is proud of, will improve economic development opportunities around the Madras Airport.
Others bills from the quartet that didn't pass but drove conversations included changing rules about Urban Growth boundaries after Bend's controversial expansion and a bill to block construction of a trail bridge across the Deschutes River. That one passed the House but died in the Senate.
Sen. Knopp, whose district encompasses Buehler's and Whisnant's, was a frequent collaborator with the four representatives. "It's definitely easier with experienced members and people who have relationships with the other representatives and senators," he said.
Not that experienced lawmakers guarantee success every time.
"Probably my greatest disappointment, and shock, from the session was the gross underfunding of OSU-Cascades," Huffman said. "We got a fraction of what we thought we were going to get and don't really know why."
How will the freshmen fare?
f two, three or four of the delegation bow out, it's unclear how much the region's influence will suffer. The biggest hurdle for freshmen is just figuring out how things work in the Capitol.
"Who's going to coach those guys? Who's going to teach them political lessons?" Kancler asked. He said that in his experience it takes lawmakers at least a couple of years to get up to speed and be truly successful.
Judy Stiegler, a political science instructor at Central Oregon Community College and OSU-Cascades, represented Deschutes County in the House from 2009 to 2011 as a Democrat., (Stiegler is now also a regular contributor to the Source.) She said there will be some challenges for new representatives, but they're not insurmountable.
"It puts us in a little bit of a disadvantage for maybe advancing legislation right from the start, but the way the system is set up and the position that Central Oregon holds in the state mean that people can hit the ground running," she said.
She pointed out that both the Democratic and Republican caucuses realize that time is of the essence, so they train newcomers before the session. Legislative offices are also very helpful at helping new lawmakers.
Lindsey O'Brien, communications director for House Speaker Tina Kotek, agreed that it's in everyone's best interest to train new lawmakers. "The speaker has a track record of working with all new legislators to make sure they have the tools they need to start serving their constituents as soon as they're sworn in," she said.
Knopp sees some reason for optimism in a new group of representatives. "New members bring new energy, new ways to look at things and new perspectives," he said.
That idea was echoed by McLane. "There is certainly a learning curve involved in serving in the Legislature, but I don't think being a freshman precludes anyone from having an impact in the Capitol," he said. "Regardless of my own plans, I am very optimistic that Central Oregon will continue to be well represented in Salem. There are a lot of highly qualified servant leaders in our communities, and I am excited about what the next team will be able to bring to the table."
Voters will decide
ho voters choose to fill vacancies will affect how much influence the region retains.
"It's a question that ought to be on everybody's mind as they consider running and what sort of people they want to elect," Kancler said.
The race for Buehler's seat will be hotly contested. The other seats are in fairly safe Republican districts, but in Bend's District 54, Democrats hold a voter registration edge 36 percent to 26 percent with the remaining 38 percent non-affiliated or registered with a third party.
That advantage is not enough to make the county blue, though. Republicans hold a 2000-seat advantage and the current president carried the county as a whole by more than 3 percentage points.
Patti Adair, chairwoman of the Deschutes County Republican Party, said she's not too worried about the region's influence slipping, because the candidates will be solid.
"There are a lot of really intelligent people in Deschutes County. We just need to get them to run and fill those spots," she said. She hopes those people are Republicans, of course.
"Oregon is surpassing California in what's happening on the negative side, if you're a conservative," she said, pointing to recently passed bills to fund abortions, tax health care and "take your guns away."
Jason Burge, chairman of the Deschutes County Democratic Party, sees some potential improvement no matter what happens. "The last four years have really been Knute Buehler asking what's best for Knute," he said.
He noted that a Democrat will have a seat at the table of the majority party. "Wouldn't it be great to have a Democrat from this side of the mountains who is able to articulate the issues of Bend and rural Central Oregon ... instead of just opposition that is monolithic Republican?" he asked.
If a Democrat wins in Bend and no other House seats flip, Democrats would secure a supermajority in the House large enough to pass tax increases without Republican support.
Voters will have a much better sense of the caliber of their potential next representatives throughout the region as candidates begin to file.
"You don't want someone who is passive. You want someone who will be a vibrant spokesperson for the people of Central Oregon," Stiegler said. "Because of the uniqueness of Central Oregon, there is a desire to ensure legislators from this area have a voice and a little more clout."

Statto's Movie Review Site - A Knight's Tale Review.
A Knight's Tale (2001), Cert PG.
Starring - Heath Ledger, Rufus Sewell, Shannyn Sossamon, Paul Bettany, Laura Fraser, Mark Addy & Alan Tudyk.
Premise - When a knight is found dead before the final round of a joust, his squire, William (Heath Ledger), picks up the lance and discovers he has a natural aptitude for the sport. He decides to impersonate a Knight and compete in various jousting tournaments to make some money. However, when he meets Jocelyn (Shannyn Sossamon) he begins to seek her more than fortune.
A Knight's Tale is about as predictable a film as I have seen in a long, long time. It unashamedly wears it's 'kid from the wrong side of the tracks pulls it off' name badge for all to see. It's 'Rocky', it's 'The Karate Kid' and it doesn't seem to care. You get the feeling the audience would care however as we have seen everything that A Knight's Tale has to offer many times before.
Well, that's not strictly true. A Knight's Tale does bring something new to the plate. Whilst for the most part the film is set in days of 'yore', the soundtrack suggests otherwise. Peppered throughout the film are classic seventies rock anthems from the likes of David Bowie and Queen. It gives the film a hint of uniqueness that the cliched plot could never hope to deliver.
In saying that though director Brian Helgeland (Who also made the Mel Gibson flick Payback, worth a look!) doesn't seem too confident in this gimmick and practically abandon's the idea around halfway through the films (lengthy) running time. He handles the rest of the film fairly unevenly. The jousting scenes are very well handled with swooping camera's and slow motion lance shattering. However put two actors in front of him speaking dialogue and he struggles.
This is primarily Heath Ledgers film and he delivers on the promise he showed in films like 'Ten Thing's I Hate About You' and 'The Patriot'. He looks every inch a leading man for the future and this film will certainly not have damage his prospects. Shannyn Sossamon plays the love interest Jocelyn and acquits herself well in what is her debut feature. She is certainly a nice piece of window dressing and has a wide variety of modern style dresses to wear in the film. Another move (like the music) to give the film a bit of character outside of it's generic plot roots. One of her outfit's looks like something Jackie-O might have worn.
In support you have Rufus Sewell as the by-the-numbers bad guy Count Adhemar. I like Sewell and I don't see enough of him for my liking, he has a very distinctive look that suit's the pantomime bad guy role to a tee. You also get my personal repellent Mark Addy as Williams squire, ugh.
For money though star of the film is Paul Bettany as Williams herald and wannabe writer Geoffry Chaucer (a real life writer who wrote the 'Canterbury Tales). Bettany builds upon his stunning debut in Gangster No.1 to totally steal the show from all and sundry. His WWE style Joust announcements are the highlight of the film.
It's a shame then that A Knight's Tale is just so predictable. As I said this story has been done to death time and time again. The latter parts of the film are so obvious that if I were to tell you what happens I wouldn't bother with a spoiler space. The events that transpire are so blatant that only a blind monkey who has never seen a film before would be surprised by what happens.
Add to that an ending so cheesy and Hollywood that my stomach was turning. But, at the end of the day what do you want from a popcorn fodder summer movie? It's not here to challenge us intellectually or strike up political debate. It is merely there to entertain for the 132 minutes that it runs. And when the credits roll that is what you are, entertained.
5/10 for A Knight's Tale.
Poster Quote - A bit of a tall tale.


EXCLUSIVE: Meet 'Bachelorette' Scene Stealer Aunt Verna!
Amid the drama and the craziness of Monday night's episode of The Bachelorette, someone had to keep it 100 -- and this time, it wasn't Rachel Lindsay.
Lindsay visited Eric Bigger in his hometown of Baltimore, Maryland, and while the experience definitely brought the two close together -- Bigger ended up earning a rose and making the final three -- it also brought Lindsay closer to his scene stealer of an aunt. During their one-on-one talk together, Aunt Verna wasn't afraid to ask Lindsay the hard questions, like what it was like to be the first black Bachelorette, which started an emotional, honest conversation about race both on and off screen.
ET caught up with Verna Myers, a Harvard-educated lawyer who has written books on diversity and is a cultural consultant with a TED Talk under her belt, over the phone on Tuesday. She opened up about America's reaction to her candid chat with Lindsay, and what she hopes happens next.
ET: You went viral after your appearance on last night's episode. What was your first reaction and how did you find out?
VM: It's just a million texts and Twitter is blowing up. My main hope was that the family comes off looking great. It's reality TV, so you don't know. I'm like, "What did I say?" because I had not seen it. I knew the conversation I had, but I didn't know what they were talking about.
People on social media are describing your conversation with Rachel as "productive," "keeping it real" and "adorable." How do you feel about these descriptions?
I'm very excited that I put the "real" in "reality show". I was genuinely curious about how she was dealing with the fact that she's "Rachel Lindsay, the first black Bachelorette".
What have been some of your favorite reactions you've seen or heard?
What I thought was so funny was the whole, 'We love Aunt Verna" or "Aunt Verna is legit." Love and compassion, I strive for that. To know that I made an impact in such a short amount of time, those were my favorite ones. And my son called me and said, "Mom, 'Aunt Verna' is trending. I'm not even lying right now." That was so sweet that somehow the country hears something real on a show that they're hoping for realness on, and they warm up to the aunt so that she becomes everyone's aunt. Suddenly I'm everyone's Aunt Verna. I'm a TED speaker you know, I'm an author and it's like, no, I'm Aunt Verna to the country.
Did you think you were asking such a groundbreaking question about being the first black Bachelorette so bluntly?
It would be impossible for me to not ask a question that's so obviously a part of the show. Was I curious? Absolutely. I'm willing to ask the hard questions in a way that encourages people to share their truth. I feel like so far on every episode there has been a touch of it, but I felt no one was giving her that opportunity on the show to talk about what the impact of race was.
What most people wouldn't know is that you are a Harvard-trained lawyer. You've written books on diversity and culture. Can you speak more about your career and what you do?
What was interesting for me was how many people on my Twitter feed who recognized me from my TED talk recognized me being on The Bachelorette. People recognized me from work. That was how it first got started. My company goes into work places in every industry trying to help leaders understand how to create inclusive, respectful work environments so that people of every background can come in and thrive.
You were so accepting of the reality show. Why did you agree to let cameras into your life for your nephew's hometown date?
Our family is really fun. We're just fun, authentic people and I was happy to host it. The producers said Eric really wanted Rachel and I to meet because Rachel and I are both lawyers. We're both professional black women.
What was your opinion of Rachel after meeting her?
They found this amazing smart, contagiously energetic lawyer who is beautiful. She is raising the standard.
What were your thoughts when you first found out Rachel would be the first black Bachelorette?
By the time I heard about it, my nephew already told me he was auditioning, and then I think I heard from him that she was the first black Bachelorette. Then I started looking at how it was being talked about. In some ways you're thinking, "Really? How long has this show been out?" My second response was that this was going to be interesting. I think they worked hard to have a very heterogeneous group of non-white people, people from different classes and regions.
What do you hope people take away from your conversation they saw you have with Rachel?
Talking boldly opens up a conversation that brings us closer, not divides us. I think that people are so afraid of touching these issues that we spend our time in separate spaces. It's not about necessarily agreeing with everything, but creating a space where you can at least understand and see a person as worthy of that same kind of respect that you ask them to show you.

Republicans view Reagan, Trump as best recent presidents
By Amina Dunn
Ronald Reagan (Cynthia Johnson/Getty Images); Donald Trump (Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)
When asked to name the president who has done the best job over the past 40 years, a majority of Democrats name Barack Obama. Republicans, by contrast, are divided between a president who served in the 1980s – Ronald Reagan – and the one who left office this year, Donald Trump.
About four-in-ten Republicans and Republican-leaning independents (42%) say Reagan has done the best job as president over the past 40 years, while slightly fewer (37%) say Trump has done the best job.
Around six-in-ten Democrats and Democratic leaners (59%) say Obama has done the best job as president of any president of the past 40 years. Far fewer name Bill Clinton (19%) or Joe Biden (5%), who will complete his first year in office next month.
Seven presidents have served in the last 40 years, four Republicans and three Democrats. Among U.S. adults overall, 35% say Obama has done the best job over this period, followed by Reagan (23%), Trump (17%) and Clinton (12%). Relatively small shares among both the general public and among Republicans name either George W. Bush or George H.W. Bush, according to the survey, conducted in September on Pew Research Center's American Trends Panel.
Pew Research Center surveyed 10,371 U.S. adults in September 2021 and asked about Americans' views of U.S. presidents over the last 40 years. Everyone who took part in this survey is a member of the Center's American Trends Panel (ATP), an online survey panel that is recruited through national, random sampling of residential addresses. This way nearly all U.S. adults have a chance of selection. The survey is weighted to be representative of the U.S. adult population by gender, race, ethnicity, partisan affiliation, education and other categories. Read more about the ATP's methodology.
Here are the questions used for the report, along with responses, and its methodology.
Among Republicans, views on who has done the best job as president over the past four decades vary by race and ethnicity, age and other demographics.
Comparable shares of White and Hispanic Republicans say Trump has done the best job as president (38% and 33%, respectively). But White Republicans are more likely than Hispanic Republicans to name Reagan (45% vs. 28%), while a quarter of Hispanic Republicans (27%) say a Democratic president did the best job over the past 40 years. Black and Asian Republicans make up much smaller shares of the public; as a result, sample size limitations mean it is not possible to analyze their views. Half of Republicans ages 50 and older say Reagan has done the best job of any recent president, compared with 32% of those under age 50. There are smaller age differences in the shares of Republicans who name Trump. And while relatively small shares of Republicans in all age groups name Democratic presidents, those under 50 are more likely than those 50 and older to do so (19% vs. 3%).
Among Republicans who have not completed college, comparable shares name Trump and Reagan as the top recent presidents (40% and 38%, respectively). Among Republican college graduates, more say Reagan than Trump by a wide margin (51% vs. 29%).
Among Republicans who name Reagan or Trump as the best recent president, there are sizable differences in choices for the second-best president. Among Republicans who say Trump, about three-quarters (73%) say Reagan is the second-best president of the past 40 years. However, among those who point to Reagan, views of the second-best president are more varied: 54% say Trump, while 34% name other Republican presidents and 11% name Democratic presidents.
Among Democrats, majorities across demographic groups view Obama as the best recent president. Still, younger Democrats are especially likely to say this, and Black Democrats are somewhat more likely than White and Hispanic Democrats to hold this view.
Nearly three-quarters of Democrats ages 18 to 29 (74%) say Obama has been the best president over the past 40 years, by far the highest share of any age group. And while 69% of Black Democrats name Obama, smaller majorities do so among Hispanic and White Democrats (56% each). Among Asian American Democrats, 64% name Obama.
For a more detailed look at how the partisan coalitions differ in their views of the best president in recent years, read Pew Research Center's 2021 political typology report.
Note: Here are the questions used for the report, along with responses, and its methodology.

One of the best things about becoming an HGV driver is that there is no shortage of work out there. In fact, the only thing running short is drivers! With more businesses and retailers popping up every day, the haulage industry is under pressure to hire new drivers to take on the abundance of work.
As an independent HGV driver, you have the power to set your own hours and even your own location. There is high demand for drivers across the entire UK. So if you decide to move across the country with your family, you will be able to pick up work again quickly.
The haulage industry is one that just isn't going away – no matter how advanced technology gets. Good, qualified drivers will always be in demand, so short of you doing something stupid, your job security will always be assured.
HGV driving isn't just about driving around. There are many different ways you can spice up an HGV driving career. You can do anything from long distance 'tramping' across Europe, to local only deliveries or the UK hopping.
Because it's in such high demand, HGV driving is a great way to increase your earning potential. A full time, fully qualified HGV driver can earn upwards of £30,000 a year, depending on whether you're an independent driver or employed with a company. If you go the employed route, many companies also give bonuses for good safety ratings, different licenses and even length of service.
If you're someone who loves their freedom, then HGV driving could be for you. When you're in the cab, you're in control. There's no supervisor standing over your shoulder keeping your hours, no office politics to deal with and no one telling you that you can't listen to your music as loudly as you want in your office.
Most people slave away at work so that they can earn the money to travel. But as an HGV driver, you get to travel while earning money. Your HGV can take you anywhere, and you get to see it all. You choose the delivery routes, and you can see all sorts of exotic locations from the comfort of your cab.
Without HGV deliveries, the country would grind to a halt. So at the end of the day, HGV drivers feel a sense of pride knowing they've made a real difference to people's lives. HGV driver turnover is pretty low because the people who are in it are doing what they love.
You don't need a reel of qualifications to become an HGV driver. In fact, all you need is a regular old driving license. If you've got that, then you can easily become an HGV driver. All it takes is an instructional course, some practical driving time and another driving test.
You Get To Drive A Huge Truck!
Nothing beats being able to do a job most kids dream of when pushing their toy trucks along the floor. There's something about climbing into your cab and turning the ignition that never ceases to put a smile on your face.
At the HGV Driver Training Centre, we pride ourselves on providing high-quality driver and professional training for both new and experienced drivers. So if you're looking to start a new career as an HGV driver, there isn't a better place for you to go.

How Do I Qualify For Legal Aid?
Robert Perez answered
We are seniors, need to sue and do not know what type of court or a low cost attorney. Son in-law signed a note stating he was responsible for 3 accounts which we ended paying off in 1999. Another loan with Household Finance for $29,217.00, we co-signed for a car loan and bal is $23, 054.41, and now is 2 months in the rears (we also have a signed note by Mark Zavala)
And have made many attempts to collect and nothing can be done. Last August 2006, we lent him $2,500.00 and again he signed a note to pay $200.00 per month. We have only being paid $600.00. We live on my husbands retirement and do not have any other means. Our credit is ruined by our son-in-law being delinquent, and he shows no interest in paying us back. He has a full time job in Santa Barbara as a full time employee for Mar Borg Industries, works under the table for a friend in the evening. We need to see if there is a way to garnish his wages, otherwise we will never be paid.
We will now have a lein on our home because of the $23,254.41 owed. We do not have monies but if you could refer us to a lawyer who could help us we sure would appreciate it. Again, we do have signed notes of Mark Anthony Zavala stating he is responsible for all the loans that he asked us for.

Legal Aid involves providing individuals facing a court case with legal advice and counsel if they are unable to pay for their own. Although it does not usually extend to actually providing a lawyer for a case, in some cases other organizations can set this up, while lawyers can work pro bono if they feel that the case merits it. In most cases though legal aid will include advice and mediation, often through solicitors and other agencies. Different kinds of legal aid is common practice in the West, with many practices set up and supported by the government, with the Legal Services Commission in England and Wales as the main service, although they do not handle libel. You would be eligible for legal aid if you can prove that the costs of your case outweigh your resources, while certain cases can fall within different legal schemes set up specifically for them, e.g. family mediation or child disputes. If you have capital of over �8000 in England and Wales you would be expected to pay your own legal costs, while those receiving income support or a pension may in many cases also be expected to cover their payments.

A unanimous Court of Appeal recently allowed the plaintiffs' appeal of the ruling of Brown J., which had stayed their action for recognition and enforcement of their judgment from Equador against Chevron Corp. relating to environmental damage that harmed villagers there: Yaiguaje et al v. Chevron et al.
After the plaintiffs had brought their action, the defendants – Chevron Corporation and its two Canadian subsidiaries, Chevron Canada Limited and Chevron Canada Finance Limited -- brought a motion to stay the action, specifically and only on jurisdictional grounds. The defendants had plainly and emphatically stated they were not attorning to the jurisdiction.
The motion court held that it has jurisdiction over the case, but nonetheless stayed the action on its own motion, exercising its discretion under s. 106 of the Courts of Justice Act. The motion court cited the fact that Chevron Corp. has no assets in Ontario and the view that there is no reasonable prospect that the corporate veil will be pierced in respect of Chevron's Canadian subsidiaries, and concluded that allowing the action to proceed would be "a waste of judicial resources".
The appeal court ruled the case did not meet the test for such a stay, namely that continuance of the action would be oppressive or vexatious or an abuse of process, and the stay would not cause an injustice to the plaintiff. Without commenting on the merits of the plaintiffs' action the court said the plaintiffs ought to be allowed to present their case at trial. The court also noted the motion court had not solicited submissions from either side on the discretionary stay.
The Court also dismissed Chevron's cross appeal. Chevron had argued that the Ontario court could not take jurisdiction over this judgment enforcement action unless there was a real and substantial connection between the defendant and Ontario, as well as between the defendant and the jurisdiction where the original judgment was issued. The court pointed out that the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision in Beals v. Saldanha made clear that such a connection to the jurisdiction where the original judgment was issued is necessary, but not also such a connection to the jurisdiction where enforcement is sought, in this case, Ontario. The Court also discussed the recent Club Resorts v Van Breda decision of the Supreme Court of Canada.
The appellate ruling raises a number of fascinating issues I hope to explore in future posts. In the meanwhile, have a happy holiday!
Unless the collector is using sewer service you should have notice a collector wants to go to court. In Illinois which has exemptions, the bank account would be declared before the judgement goes into effect.

Home/Community/KeyBank Rochester Fringe Festival and Cure team up for 'Shotspeare' on New Year's Eve
KeyBank Rochester Fringe Festival and Cure team up for 'Shotspeare' on New Year's Eve
Alma RoyDecember 23, 2020
"The start of this story could potentially be the trials and tribulations of becoming a different business every month," Donny Clutterbuck says.
Thanks Donny. I'll take it from here.
Clutterbuck is the bar manager at Cure, located at the Rochester Public Market. It's one of the small treasures on the culinary scene here. And like all restaurants and bars in the COVID-19 era, the trial it's been undergoing is the coronavirus pandemic. As an Orange Zone designee, Cure is open only for take-out.
But to sidestep the tribulations, it's trying out other ideas.
For New Year's Eve, Clutterbuck and Cure have hooked up with the KeyBank Rochester Fringe Festival for the return of one of that event's most-intoxicating shows from the last couple of years: "Shotspeare Presents: The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, sort of."
Starting at 8 p.m. on Dec. 31, Cirque du Fringe darlings Matt Morgan and Heidi Brucker Morgan will present a 90-minute show via Zoom from Las Vegas for its Rochester fan base. It's a show with both live and recorded segments that buzz through all of Shakespeare's plays. You and the entire family can crowd around one internet device for $25 and watch the show. And for $75, you can get the full Shotspeare treatment, with the "Hot Sonnet" cocktail — a pre-mixed concoction that's pretty much a mulled wine. It serves six, unless you're not driving. (Tickets are at rochesterfringe.com.) And in the midst of a pandemic that's killed more than 320,000 Americans to date, the advice from COVID-19 superhero Dr. Anthony Fauci, is to not go anywhere.
"My role is the guy who provides drinks when people want to do stuff and tries to logistically make it happen in a weird time," says Clutterbuck.
The first phase of this weird time hit at about the end of March, running straight into June — three months in which Cure and other restaurants and bars had to deal with the state of New York's restrictions. Social distancing means there's not much room for customers in a tiny place like Cure. It means close quarters, in which it's a challenge "to still make money and stay alive," Clutterbuck says.
Many bars and restaurants keep a week's inventory on hand, maybe even a month's inventory, "just because that's the way the ordering cycle works," Clutterbuck says. "So I had to find ways to make the drinks we had been making for people, and bottle them pre-diluted, so they can just be refrigerated and poured, for those three months. We did that."
Then he and co-owner Chuck Cerankosky hit the road. "There was cocktail delivery alongside food," Clutterbuck says. "I drove around a whole bunch of days a week, just driving things to the suburbs of Rochester. Chuck and I were on delivery runs that lasted almost eight hours apiece in the first few weeks."
By June, the restrictions eased. But the state regulations remained a moving target, with seating limited to 50 percent indoor seating, a mask mandate, sanitizing with impunity, and "nobody at the bar, but sometimes people at the bar, there was a lot of re-direction that had to happen," Clutterbuck says.
The Public Market sidewalk in front of Cure, and summer days, were a big help. "We had tons of outdoor seating," he says. "We might have been technically busier than we would have been in a normal summer. Everyone was really itching to get out. And we had to employ a lot more people because there was a lot more walking to do. The physical distance between where the things were made and where the people were sitting was much larger.
"So it was a struggle, but it was really validating, especially after those three months of not being able to serve people in person."
But you've seen the charts. That second big spike in COVID-19 cases arrived. Predictions for the winter are that it'll only get worse. So Clutterback came up with the booze partnerships. Cure created special drinks for companies and organizations that wanted to host events, and needed a specially branded cocktail.
Most recently, it was last month's Anomaly — The Rochester Genre Film Festival. For audiences awash in horror, action, science fiction, fantasy and dark comedy films, Clutterbuck created an appropriate cocktail called the Plasma Sunset. A reddish-hued drink brought to life with the help of common lab equipment.
"It was more or less a centrifuge-clarified, spirit-forward — I know, that's a lot of modifiers — cosmopolitan," says Clutterbuck, aware of how editors despise cluttered sentences.
Next up is New Year's Eve with Shakespeare, featuring the Hot Sonnet, conceived by Rochester Fringe Festival Producer Erica Fee and executed by Clutterbuck. It's a cocktail starting with Gamay Noir, a light-bodied red wine of medium acidic quality. Then some bourbon, cinnamon, nutmeg, citrus, raw cane sugar, and the orange-and-clove accent of amaro del campo. Pick it up at Cure and store it in your refrigerator until it's time to heat it up for New Year's Eve with Matt and Heidi.
Clutterbuck says he's just looking for a little consistency in what the TV commercials like to call "these uncertain times."
"Honestly, it's confusing, because our rule structure in New York state surrounding this particular substance, alcohol, doesn't have any provisions for this situation," he says. "Because this situation hasn't happened since like 1918, pre-Prohibition.
"It's kind of like the Wild West again, we're just hoping that what we're doing is cool, because it's not particularly clear what is and is not correct. I don't think, to anyone, it's clear. I don't even think it's clear to the government what is correct."
Clarity from government? Let's try that next year.
"The theme of the last month for me has been if bars and restaurants are dangerous, close them," Clutterbuck says. "All. And if bars and restaurants are not dangerous, allow them to operate within regulations like they always do. Because our coolers have to be certain temperatures, and the ice machine has to be clean. The health department inspects us twice a year, or once a year, whatever. There's always regulations. And we've been living by these new regulations, happily, and operating. And it's very strange to me that someone can draw lines within city limits — not even as big as the county itself or frankly, the city — where restaurants are dangerous when they're not outside of that.
"I can drive to a restaurant in 10 minutes and sit at it, in it, and eat. But I can't operate one? So where's the messaging there?"
The messaging is not black and white. Or in this case, orange and yellow. Clutterbuck calls the mapping of the various COVID-19 zones a "strangely shaped box," in which Cure draws the tougher Orange Zone regulations, while an establishment in Charlotte, for example, draws less-intense scrutiny in the Yellow Zone. Such designations may determine whether a business survives.
"I just want to make sure that whatever we're doing, we're all doing it, because it seems a little bit unfair to play favorites," Clutterbuck says. "Whether it's geographic or, I don't know, political, I have no idea."
The Rochester Fringe Festival tightrope-walked through September by going virtual, and recently has been creating special events to remind its audience that it still exists. As the year draws to a close, the festival is presenting the local comedy duo of Kerry Young and Abby DeVuyst in "Bushwhacked British Bake Off: Holiday Edition," a sold-out virtual parody of the popular reality cooking show; the audience gets the ingredients to bake along with Young and DeVuyst.
You've got to laugh, otherwise, it may hurt too much to see what the coronavirus pandemic is doing to culture. Now as Cure goes virtual as well, Clutterbuck says it has to await one of only three likely pandemic outcomes: government aid to keep culture alive, force everyone to shut down, or allow everyone to re-open.

The central atom is also usually the least electronegative.
The central atom is usually the least electronegative element in the molecule or ion; hydrogen and the halogens are usually terminal.
The least electronegative elements in the center of lewis structures because an atom in the central position shares more of its electrons than does a terminal atom. Atoms with higher electronegative are generally more reluctant to share its electrons.
thaiduong
The central atom in a lewis structure tends to be the least electronegative atom.
Lewis structures show each atom and its position in the structure of the molecule using its chemical symbol.
In Lewis structure, the central atom tends to be the least electronegative atom. Usually the central atom will be the one that has the most unpaired valence electrons or least electronegative.
Therefore, the best phrase that completes the sentence is "least electronegative".

Q: Conditional merging of row in R I want to create individual transcripts in .txt files for each file of my data set which contains two colones LABEL (the word) and FILE (the file the word was said in).
So my DF (sample) looks like this :
file        label
 bla_1       _
 bla_1       so
 bla_1       we
 bla_1     know
 bla_1     that
 bla_1     right
 bla_2     my
 bla_2     mummy
 bla_2     said
 bla_2     so

I can easily paste everything together :
text <-paste(unlist(sample), collapse =" ");text

Result is
"_ so we know that right my mummy said so"

But how could I insert an if statement that would generate individual text (and save them in separate files) according to the value of file ?
bla_1     "_ so we know that right"
bla_2     "my mummy said so"

Thank you
reproductible DF:
sample <- data.frame(file=c(rep("bla_1",6),rep("bla_2",4)),label=c("_","so","we" ,"know" ,"that" ,"right" ,"my" ,"mummy" ,"said" ,"so"))

A: As lukeA points out, I just forgot about aggregate function that works perfectly in this case.
aggregate(label~file, sample, paste, collapse = " ")

A: Tidyverse approach:
library(dplyr)

sample %>%
  group_by(file) %>%
  summarise(paste(label, collapse = " "))

"Never you trust a petticoat with dollars. They're all as false as water; you keep an eye on her."
Now, this word struck in Keawe's mind; for he was muddled with what he had been drinking.
"I should not wonder but she was false, indeed," thought he. "Why else should she be so cast down at my release? But I will show her I am not the man to be fooled. I will catch her in the act."
Accordingly, when they were back in town, Keawe bade the boatswain wait for him at the corner, by the old calaboose, and went forward up the avenue alone to the door of his house. The night had come again; there was a light within, but never a sound; and Keawe crept about the corner, opened the back door softly, and looked in.
There was Kokua on the floor, the lamp at her side; before her was a milk-white bottle, with a round belly and a long neck; and as she viewed it, Kokua wrung her hands.
A long time Keawe stood and looked in the doorway. At first he was struck stupid; and then fear fell upon him that the bargain had been made amiss, and the bottle had come back to him as it came at San Francisco; and at that his knees were loosened, and the fumes of the wine departed from his head like mists off a river in the morning. And then he had another thought; and it was a strange one, that made his cheeks to burn.
"I must make sure of this," thought he.
So he closed the door, and went softly round the corner again, and then came noisily in, as though he were but now returned. And, lo! by the time he opened the front door no bottle was to be seen; and Kokua sat in a chair and started up like one awakened out of sleep.
"I have been drinking all day and making merry," said Keawe. "I have been with good companions, and now I only come back for money, and return to drink and carouse with them again."
Both his face and voice were as stern as judgment, but Kokua was too troubled to observe.
"You do well to use your own, my husband," said she, and her words trembled.
"O, I do well in all things," said Keawe, and he went straight to the chest and took out money. But he looked besides in the corner where they kept the bottle, and there was no bottle there.
At that the chest heaved upon the floor like a sea-billow, and the house span about him like a wreath of smoke, for he saw he was lost now, and there was no escape. "It is what I feared," he thought. "It is she who has bought it."
And then he came to himself a little and rose up; but the sweat streamed on his face as thick as the rain and as cold as the well- water.
"Kokua," said he, "I said to you to-day what ill became me. Now I return to carouse with my jolly companions," and at that he laughed a little quietly. "I will take more pleasure in the cup if you forgive me."
She clasped his knees in a moment; she kissed his knees with flowing tears.
"O," she cried, "I asked but a kind word!"
"Let us never one think hardly of the other," said Keawe, and was gone out of the house.
Now, the money that Keawe had taken was only some of that store of centime pieces they had laid in at their arrival. It was very sure he had no mind to be drinking. His wife had given her soul for him, now he must give his for hers; no other thought was in the world with him.
At the corner, by the old calaboose, there was the boatswain waiting.
"My wife has the bottle," said Keawe, "and, unless you help me to recover it, there can be no more money and no more liquor to- night."
"You do not mean to say you are serious about that bottle?" cried the boatswain.
"There is the lamp," said Keawe. "Do I look as if I was jesting?"
"That is so," said the boatswain. "You look as serious as a ghost."
"Well, then," said Keawe, "here are two centimes; you must go to my wife in the house, and offer her these for the bottle, which (if I am not much mistaken) she will give you instantly. Bring it to me here, and I will buy it back from you for one; for that is the law with this bottle, that it still must be sold for a less sum.

Title I is one of the largest federal aid programs for school districts in the United States. Begun in 1965 under President Lyndon B. Johnson as part of his "War on Poverty," Title I today is a part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).
This legislation grants federal funds to schools with large numbers of children in poverty to provide extra educational services that help students achieve at higher levels. Specifically, the objective of the Title I program is to enable all students to meet state and local performance standards and for schools to achieve other school accountability goals as set forth by the Indiana Department of Education.
The federal government provides Title I funds to Indiana each year. To obtain the funds, Indiana must submit a plan describing the academic standards children are expected to meet (i.e. Indiana Academic Standards) and how we will measure their academic progress. Indiana then allocates Title I funding to school corporations. The amount of money a school district receives is based on census data indicating the proportion of low-income children. Districts with the highest percentage of children from low-income families receive the most money. School corporations target the Title I funds they receive to the schools with the highest percentage of children from low-income families. In addition, under Title I, participating public school corporations are required to provide supplemental educational services for eligible private schools students.
How Big Is Title I?
Nationwide there are more than 50,000 public schools, approximately 12.5 million students, that receive Title I funds. Title I funds may be used for children from preschool to high school. However, 65% of the students served are in grades 1-6 while another 12% are in preschool and kindergarten. In Indiana, 97% of school corporations receive Title I funding.
What is a School-Wide Title I Program?
Schools with poverty rates of 40% or higher are eligible to implement a school-wide Title I program. The purpose of a school-wide program is to improve student achievement throughout the entire school. Individual students are not identified as eligible to participate. Rather, every child will benefit from the added services and programs that a school-wide Title I educational program provides, which will improve the achievement of all students, particularly those who are low achieving. In addition, a school must develop and implement the improvement plan with the involvement of parents, teachers, principals, and administrators. Essentially, a school-wide program helps a school do more for all of its students.
What Happens at a Title I School?
Implement research-based instruction to supplement regular classroom instruction.
Improve professional knowledge and skills through continuing education.
Involve parents in all aspects of the school's Title I program.
How Are Schools Held Accountable?
Schools receiving Title I funds are evaluated each year by administrators, teachers, and parents using state and local assessments to determine if the school has made adequate yearly progress. If the program goals have not been met, program and school improvement plans are revised.
Parental involvement is a critical component of the Title I legislation. Schools receiving Title I funding are obligated to implement programs, activities, and procedures for the involvement of parents in school-related programs. Schools may also provide opportunities for parents to increase their knowledge and skills related to their children's education. Such programs, activities, and procedures must be planned and implemented for parents of participating children. Parents can also find information and resources on the Parent Portal at the Indiana Department of Education as well as Indiana Partnerships Center.

The Cameron Peak Fire in Colorado is the largest in the state's history
By Artemis Moshtaghian and Christina Maxouris, CNN
Updated 2034 GMT (0434 HKT) October 15, 2020
Airn Hartwig loads a chicken into a cardboard box as she evacuates due to the threat from the Cameron Peak Fire in Masonville, Colorado, on Wednesday.
(CNN) The Cameron Peak Fire, burning just west of Fort Collins, is now the largest wildfire in Colorado history, Gov. Jared Polis said in a tweet Wednesday night.
The blaze has burned through more than 164,000 acres and is 56% contained, officials said Thursday afternoon. It was ignited on August 13 and has since been fueled by high winds and dangerous terrain that's worked against firefighters' efforts to battle the flames and increase containment.
The Zogg Fire is fully contained after claiming 4 lives and scorching more than 50,000 acres
It has now surpassed the Pine Gulch Fire, which burned about 139,007 acres earlier this year and the Hayman Fire, which burned through more than 138,000 acres in 2002, according to the US Department of Agriculture.
The Cameron Peak Fire prompted several evacuation orders Wednesday. In a statement posted on Facebook, the Larimer County Sheriff's Office announced there was a mandatory evacuation order for Lory State Park.
"Residents and business occupants should evacuate the area immediately and as quickly as possible due to immediate and imminent danger," the office said.
"Do not delay leaving to gather belongings or make efforts to protect your home or business. Evacuating immediately not only supports your safety, but also allows emergency crews better access to the area."
Wildfires are increasingly destructive. We need to reevaluate how and where we build our homes
An American Red Cross spokesperson said in a statement volunteers were working to find shelter for evacuees, according to CNN affiliate KUSA.
"The Red Cross is still sheltering individuals that were displaced by the fire before today and with the new evacuation orders we are working hard to make sure everyone who needs a roof over their head will have shelter tonight," the spokesperson said, according to the affiliate.
Officials say they expect the fire to be contained by November 8. Its cause remains under investigation.
