The new vette... what else?By Joe McKenney


Apart from referring to us as The Swallows and The Amazons, our director Claude Whatham always called us his artistes – 'My art-istes!' This was, of course, because far from being trained actors we were just the children who made up his cast.
It was Saturday morning on 16th June 1973 and a day off from filming. We'd all been working hard. Instead of resting, Claude took us all to Blackpool, the famous holiday destination of the north east. None of us had ever been before. It was a great treat and hugely exciting. I can remember choosing the clothes I would wear, and putting on a shell necklace Daddy had brought back from Africa, for the occasion.
A complete contrast to camping and sailing in the wilds of Westmorland, Blackpool proved a day trip to remember.
It must have taken more than an hour-and-a-half to travel from Ambleside to the Blackpool promenade in those days. Jean McGill, our friend and driver, drove us down in the unit mini-bus. We were joined for the day by Ronnie Cogan, the hairdresser on the film crew, and of course Mum and Jane came as our parents and legal chaperones. I'm pretty sure Ronnie smoked the whole way there and back, but we all adored him and were thrilled he wanted to come too.
I think Claude must have liked fun-fairs. Before Swallows and Amazons he directed That'll be the Day, a rock and roll movie produced by David Puttman, set at a fun fair of the 1950s. It starred David Essex and Ringo Starr with Billy Fury singing "A Thousand Stars", "Long Live Rock", "That's All Right Mama" and "What Did I Say". Claude gave me the LP, which I played again and again.
We did it all. I was most impressed – and terrified out of my wits – by the big dipper but have always loved going in a pony and trap and racing donkeys. Looking back it seems we took a number of risks. What EMI's insurance company would have said I do not know. Falling off a donkey could have cost quite a few expensive filming days but then EMI did own the circus we went to. There we saw true artistes, with snakes and crocodiles. The mind boggles.
We were exhilarated by the whole experience. Whilst it was tiring, it energised us, bringing us together as a family, all looking up to Claude as our father figure. He had two children of his own, but they must have been at college by then. Paul had been about sixteen when we made Cider with Rosie – Mum remembers him as a curly haired boy talking to his father about the casting. He sadly died in a motor cycle accident driving home from Oxford Polytechnic when he was only about nineteen. Claude never got over it. I weep for him, even now.
It looks to me like a great example of team bonding — keep these lovely pics coming. So evocative!
Oh, completly. Team building before it was invented, showing Claude Whatham had the energy and natural charm of a good leader.
Thank you for your comment on which is hardly a post about 'Swallows and Amazons', although of course the books are all about team bonding, aren't they?
It has been very interesting to follow you in Swallows and Amazons.
I had the pleasure of meeting you at Swallows relaunch last year.
Thank you for taking the trouble to write in.
As it happenes, received an e-mail from Suzanna Hamilton yesterday, but sadly I have not seen either Simon West, Stephen Grendon or the Amazons since the Premier of the film in 1974.
I only just chanced on these blogs. I've also just watched the "Behind the Scenes" footage on YouTube. Both are brilliant and, for me, inspiring.
My gran lived in Windermere most of her life and the Lakes have a huge place in my heart.
I moved from Blackpool to Grimsby 10 years ago and married the woman who caused the move last year. I have taken Anna (my wife) to the Lakes a few times and we are now saving to move to Cumbria.
It is the original film, books and your blogs that keep me going on my quest to move.
Thank you so much for sharing your memories. It is very generous of you.
It is wonderful to read! Thank you so much for posting your news. You must let me know if you have any comments about the making of the 1973 film.

Q: Windows 7 RAM says only 16 GB of 24 GB of RAM is available I have Windows 7 on a gaming PC. I have an Asus Rampage Formula 3 motherboard with 24 GB of RAM. When I go to system properties, it shows that I have 24 GB of RAM, but it says in parenthesis that only 16 GB are available to use. How do I get it to be able to use all 24 GB if needed?

A: It sounds like you are running Home Premium, which has a limit of 16 GB. You will need to upgrade to Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate to get access to the remaining 8 GB.

St Michael's Pre-School - Brantham
St Michael's Preschool has been running for over 30 years and operates from the Institute building opposite St Michael's Church in Brantham. We welcome children from all faiths and ethnic backgrounds and are open Monday to Friday 7.00 – 6.00 pm. This setting has children from birth to 3 years, after which they tend to progress to Brooklands Young Explorers in preparation for primary school.
We are proud to have been awarded 'good' across all areas in our Ofsted Inspection in December 2016, with 'outstanding' in the area of personal development. The Inspector also noted some 'outstanding' teaching.
Care for children age 0-2 years
Our large and newly refurbished baby area is equipped with a wide range of play and sensory equipment, it provides a wide variety of resources that promote early learning through play, exploration and discovery.
We employ qualified baby practitioners who are skilled and experienced, able to meet the needs of young babies and we like to continue home routines wherever possible to help the younger members feel safe and secure.
The 'key person' scheme which CCC operate across all settings is crucial in the baby room as we feel babies learn to be independent by having someone they can depend on, therefore a secure relationship with the key person is essential.
The key person is responsible for the baby's routines, nappy changes and other individual needs.
We aim to offer a home from home provision and after continuous risk assessments and if deemed safe to do so may integrate babies with the toddlers if they wish to participate with, for example, siblings, cousins or older friends.
Care for Toddlers
Rising 2's occupy the remaining half of the main room (the babies have the other half and the room is partitioned), children age 2+ are situated in a separate room with bi-fold doors leading to the outside area.
We have a computer suite, a 'cosy' reading area and a huge selection of age and stage related toys and resources. Most of the equipment in the area is at a low storage level so that the children can choose freely when playing or selecting activities.
All children are encouraged to learn through play and children here are encouraged to share, interact and help their peers in activities such as tidying up, role play and story time. The children will also have access to the outside play area which includes an all weather canopy and a vast amount of play equipment.

Two separate abduction attempts reported
DON MARKUS AND JONATHAN PITTSThe Baltimore Sun
Police in two counties were investigating attempted abductions of boys about the same time Friday, authorities said yesterday.
Law enforcement officials in Howard and Harford counties said they had no indication that the incidents were related.
An 11-year-old student of Howard County's Glenwood Middle School reported that he was approached by a maroon GMC sport utility vehicle shortly after getting off a school bus on Hipsley Mill Road in Woodbine about 2:50 p.m., county police said. The boy told police he heard a man ask for help finding a lost puppy. The boy said he could not see the man's face because the window was tinted and lowered only a few inches. The boy ran home and told his mother, who called police.
Howard County police said patrols in the area have been increased, and asked that anyone with information call 410-313-3200.
In Bel Air, an 8-year-old boy was walking home from his bus stop in the 500 block of E. Broadway about 3 p.m. Friday when he was approached by a man in a red pickup truck, the Harford County sheriff's office said. The truck's driver, opened his door and asked the boy to help find a lost cat. The boy ran home and told his mother, who called police. Anyone with information was asked to contact the Northern Precinct at 410-692-7880.

Lack of Moral Fibre or LMF was a punitive designation used by the Royal Air Force during the Second World War to stigmatize aircrew who refused to fly operations.

By early 1940, RAF commanders were concerned about mounting psychological casualties in Bomber Command and Coastal Command.
A letter circulated to commands on 22 April 1940 recommended that squadron commanders identify men who had forfeited their confidence, distinguishing medical cases from those "lacking moral fibre".
By the summer of 1940, senior commanders became concerned that medical officers were removing too many men from flying duty.
More detailed guidance was given in the Memorandum on the Disposal of Members of Air Crews Who Forfeit the Confidence of Their Commanding Officers S.61141/S.7.C(1) issued on 28 September 1940, signed by Charles Evans, Principal Assistant Secretary for Personnel in the Air Ministry. This "LMF memorandum" was revised on 19 September 1941, 3 February 1943 and 1 March 1945.

Under this procedure, aircrew refusing to fly operations were to be classified as (i) medically fit, (ii) medically unfit on nervous grounds (introduced in the 1941 revision) or (iii) medically unfit for other reasons.
Aircrew would not be placed in the first two categories if they had been subject to "exceptional flying stress", and to be assigned to category (i), they "had to be proved to be lacking in moral fibre". From February 1943, aircrew on their second tour (30 operations in Bomber Command) could not be classified LMF, though commanders were urged not to publicize this provision.
According to Wing Commander James Lawson, the Air Ministry officer who handled all cases under the Memorandum, 746 officers and 3,313 non-commissioned officers were referred. Of these, 2,726 cases (including 2,337 NCOs) were classified as LMF.

A man classified in categories (i) or (ii) would lose his flying badge, "to prevent his getting a lucrative job as a pilot in civil life".
The service records of those classified LMF were stamped with large red "W" (for "waverer").
Officers would lose their commissions and be refused ground jobs in the RAF, while NCOs would be reduced to aircraftman second class and assigned menial tasks, such as latrine duty, for at least three months.
From 1944, men released as LMF could be called for the coal mines or drafted into the army.

Contemporary opinion of the system was divided.
Though severe, it was less harsh than a court martial.
Senior commanders such as Air Vice-Marshals Keith Park (11 Group) and Arthur Harris (5 Group and later Bomber Command) considered it essential.
Squadron commanders such as Leonard Cheshire viewed it as justified in a desperate situation.
RAF psychiatrists, while acknowledging the deterrent effect, considered it harsh and deficient in failing to take account of individual situations.
Many Commonwealth countries resented the application of this procedure to their personnel scattered throughout the RAF.
Canadian Air-Vice Marshal Harold Edwards was particularly critical.

As the end of the war approached, the LMF procedure became politically sensitive, and was officially dropped in 1945.
However, the term remained in popular use in the RAF until the 1960s. Veterans continue to discuss lack of moral fibre as part of a victim narrative.

Q: Which twin produces more widgets? Two twins are identical in every way, including their widget production.
One twin goes on a long space trip at near the speed of light to produce widgets during the trip.
When space-twin returns he has aged less than earth-twin. But, who produced more widgets?

A: The answer is as straightforward as it seems at first glance. If the twin's ability to produce widgets is the same then the widget, $w$, is effectively just a unit of time related to the second by some constant of proportionality $w = at$, where the constant $a$ is the same for both twins. So the accelerating twin produces fewer widgets than the twin who remains on Earth.
Were you thinking there should be more to it than that?

At Storgama, increased precipitation in the growing season increased the fluxes of total organic carbon (TOC) and total organic nitrogen (TON) in proportion to the water flux. In winter, soil temperatures near 0°C, common under a snowpack, induced higher runoff of inorganic nitrogen (N) and lower runoff of TOC. By contrast, soil temperatures below freezing, caused by little snow accumulation (expected in a warmer world), reduced runoff of inorganic N, TON, and TOC. Long-term monitoring data showed that reduced snowpack can cause either decreased or increased N leaching, depending on interactions with N deposition, soil temperature regime, and winter discharge. Seasonal variation in TOC was mainly climatically controlled, whereas deposition of sulfate and nitrate (NO3) explained the long-term TOC increase. Upscaling to the river basin scale showed that the annual flux of NO3 will remain unchanged in response to climate change projections.
A high-resolution chemical transport model, driven by meteorology representing current and future climate, was used to investigate the effects of possible future changes in climate on nitrogen deposition in northwestern Europe. The model system was able to resolve the climatology of precipitation and chemical properties observed in northern Europe during the 1980s, albeit with some underestimation of the temporal and spatial variability of meteorological parameters and chemical components. The results point toward a substantial increase (30% or more) in nitrogen deposition over western Norway as a consequence of increasing precipitation but more moderate changes for other areas. Deposition of oxidized nitrogen will increase more than the deposition of reduced nitrogen. Over Sweden, oxidized nitrogen will increase only marginally and reduced nitrogen will decrease, although annual precipitation is expected to increase here as well. This is probably because more reduced nitrogen will be removed further west in Scandinavia because of the strong increase in precipitation along the Norwegian coast. The total deposition of oxidized nitrogen over Norway is expected to increase from 96 Gg N y−1 during the current climate to 107 Gg N y−1 by 2100 due only to changes in climate. The corresponding values for Sweden are more modest, from 137 Gg N y−1 to 139 Gg N y−1.
To provide baseline data for climate manipulation experiments in 11 small (30–268 m2) headwater catchments at Storgama, Telemark County, Southern Norway, we assessed the natural variability in site characteristics and runoff quality. Annual average concentrations in runoff at the sites have coefficients of variation between 26–61%, with the smallest values for total organic carbon (TOC) and carbon to nitrogen (C/N) ratios and the largest for inorganic nitrogen (N). The catchments have between two and five times higher concentrations of inorganic N, TOC, and total phosphorus than the larger (0.6 km2) Storgama watershed nearby. Concentrations of TOC and TON in runoff tend to increase with soil C and N content and with the volume of soil in the catchment. For nitrate (NO3) and ammonium in runoff, the reverse is true. In wet years the proportion of bare rock is a major predictor for the annual average NO3 concentration in runoff.
We have manipulated the winter-time soil temperature regime of small headwater catchments in a montane heathland area of southern Norway to study the possible effects on concentrations and fluxes of inorganic nitrogen in runoff. The experiments included extra insulation of soils in two catchments to prevent subzero temperatures during winter, and removal of snow in two other catchments to promote soil frost. Increased soil temperatures during winter increased the springtime concentrations and fluxes of ammonium (NH4) and nitrate (NO3) in runoff. By contrast, snow removal with development of significant soil frost showed no systematic effects on mean concentrations or fluxes of inorganic N. The results from our experiments suggest that warmer soils during winter caused by exceptionally mild winters, or alternatively a heavy snowpack, imply a greater risk for inorganic N leaching in this region than a possible increase of soil frost events because of reduced snow cover.
Projected increases in winter temperature due to future climate change may cause decreased snow accumulation at lower and intermediate altitudes in northern temperate regions. The resulting changes in soil temperature and water regime may affect the leaching of total organic carbon (TOC) and total organic nitrogen (TON). We manipulated the snow cover of small headwater catchments in a montane heathland area of southern Norway to quantify its effect on concentrations and fluxes of TOC and TON in runoff. Manipulations included snow removal, to promote soil frost, and insulation, to prevent soil frost. Snow removal resulted in increased TOC and TON concentrations, but decreased fluxes. Insulation caused a slight decrease in concentrations and fluxes of TOC. Our experiments show that a change in snow depth, and thus soil temperature, is not likely to have serious effects on TOC and TON leaching in the montane heathland area studied.
Projected changes in climate in Southern Norway include increases in summer and autumn precipitation. This may affect leaching of dissolved organic matter (DOM) from soils. Effects of experimentally added extra precipitation (10 mm week−1) during the growing season of 3 years (2004–2006) to small headwater catchments at Storgama (59°0′N, 550–600 m a.s.l.) on leaching of total organic carbon (TOC) and total organic nitrogen (TON) were assessed. Extra precipitation did not have a significant effect on average TOC and TON concentrations in runoff. Thus, fluxes of TOC and TON increased nearly proportionally with water fluxes. This suggests that a store of adsorbed and potentially mobile TOC and TON in catchment soils buffers the concentration of DOM in runoff. The size and dynamics of the pool of TOC and TON depends on the balance between production and leaching rates. Infrequent short droughts had only small effects on TOC and TON fluxes in runoff from the reference catchments.
Fluctuations in the 20-year record of nitrate (NO3) and total organic carbon (TOC) concentrations and fluxes in runoff at the small headwater catchment Storgama, southern Norway, were related to climate and acid deposition. The long-term decline in NO3 related to reduced NO3 deposition and increased winter discharge, whereas the long-term increase in TOC related to reduced sulfur deposition. Multiple regression models describing long-term trends and seasonal variability in these records were used to project future concentrations given scenarios of climate change and acid deposition. All scenarios indicated reduced NO3 fluxes and increased TOC fluxes; the largest projected changes for the period 2071–2100 were −86% and 24%, respectively. Uncertainties are that the predicted future temperatures are considerably higher than the historical record. Also, nonlinear responses of ecosystem processes (nitrogen [N] mineralization) to temperature, N-enrichment of soils, and step-changes in environmental conditions may affect future leaching of carbon and N.
The mass transport model TEOTIL was used to project nitrate (NO3) fluxes from the Tovdal River basin, southernmost Norway, given four scenarios of climate change. Forests, uplands, and open water currently account for 90% of the NO3 flux. Climate scenarios for 2071–2100 suggest increased temperature by 2–4°C and precipitation by 3–11%. Climate experiments and long-term monitoring were used to estimate future rates of nitrogen (N) leaching. More water will run through the terrestrial catchments during the winter but less will run in the spring. The annual NO3 flux from the Tovdal River to the adjoining Topdalsfjord is projected to remain unchanged, but with more NO3 delivered in the winter and less in the spring. Algal blooms in coastal waters can be expected to occur earlier in the year. Major sources of uncertainty are in the long-term fate of N stored in soil organic matter and the impacts of forest management.


Travel in Lament happens in one of two general situations: inside stand-alone areas, such as cities or caves, which are represented completely by text, and in the vast expanse of the wilderness, which is also expressed as an ASCII map. While travel within areas is usually based solely on how fast a character is moving and how high their natural land speed is, travel in the wilderness takes into account another set of factors: how high their hiking skill is, what terrain they're moving through, and how high their terrain-specific travel skills are.
Travel skills also include climbing, navigation, and swimming due to their use in getting a character from place to place.
In addition to traveling on foot, a character can also take a ferry from Liidhaga to the mainland and back.

N-Day5: Lessons of History
by Max Barry
Tue, 22 Sep 2020
Nuclear conflict: Are there any winners? I mean, yes, there are. We have a leaderboard. But what about the 549 out of 574 Factions who failed to finish last year's N-Day with a positive score? That's a lot of nations who wound up as radioactive dust.
I think the lesson here is that for most people, nuclear war is brief and fatal. You can do your best and still wind up flattened because larger forces decided to swat you. Something to ponder.
Not here, though! Here on NationStates, your citizens are only temporarily annihilated when some madman decides to extinguish millions of lives. So that's different.
Nuclear resolution begins in:

N-Day: What You Need to Know
by The дСвобода Мысл of Testlandia
N-Day is an opportunity for nations to come together and exchange nuclear weapons in a fiery Armageddon of mutually assured destruction.
Once N-Day begins, join a Faction. Nations outside a Faction can't attack or be attacked. You can join a Faction when you're ready and leave when you're not (to stay safe).
Watch your nation automatically generate Production at a rate of 1 every 2 minutes. Use it to build Nukes and Shield.
Launch Nukes at other nations and use Shield to shoot down Nukes that are launched at you.
The simplest way to play N-Day is to join whichever Faction seems most fun and start targeting Nukes at its enemies while shooting down anything incoming. Your Faction page's icon bar shows everything you need to know, including who's targeting anyone in your Faction, and who your fellow Faction members are targeting.
Attacking: Step by Step
On your Production screen, spend some of your Production to build Nukes. These go into your Stockpile.
On another nation's Nuke page, click/tap the TARGET button and select the number of Nukes to use.
Once Targeted, it takes 10 minutes for your Nukes to reach a READY state. Note that your Targeted page is public: All nations can see who is targeting whom.
When your Targeted Nukes are ready, click/tap LAUNCH.
Your Nukes are now categorized as Launches for you and Incoming for your target. Launched Nukes take 3-5 minutes to reach their target. When they do, they earn Strikes for you and inflict Radiation on the target, which reduces their rate of Production. This also earns Score for your Faction and reduces the enemy Faction's Score.
Defending: Step by Step
On the Production screen, spend Production to build Shield.
Find Launched Nukes to destroy. Your top priority is any Incoming Nukes launched at you. Secondarily, you may wish to target Incoming Nukes on anyone in your Faction (see your Faction's Incoming page), and also keep an eye on Targeted Nukes that may threaten you or your Faction in the near future.
Click/tap DESTROY to deploy 1 Shield per Nuke.
Strategically, it may be wise to avoid attacks on nations or Factions until you are confident of obliterating them, since this eliminates the possibility of counter-attack. Smaller-scale attacks, which damage but don't destroy an enemy, can lead to an escalating series of grudge-related nuclear exchanges.
On the other hand, targeting an enemy can be an effective warning. And it takes Nukes 10 minutes to be ready to launch, so you can't leave it too late.
Each Nuke that reaches a target causes Radiation damage, which reduces the target's rate of Production generation and counts as a Strike for the attacker.
A Faction's Score is Strikes minus Radiation.
N-Day lasts for 24 hours, after which point, an Arms Control Agreement means that no Nukes can be launched. (In-flight nukes can still land, however.)
The "winner" is the Faction with the highest score; if, that is, nuclear war can be said to have a winner. Which we say it can. It's the Faction with the highest score.
Once N-Day begins, Factions can be founded by a Regional Officer of any region. Any and all Regional Officers of that region can update the Faction's official text to issue instructions to Faction members.
Factions can be made open to all members, or restricted to the region's members only.
You can leave your Faction, which is a good way to stay safe if you're signing off for the night. However, you can only do this if you're not engaged with the enemy! That means:
You must not have any nukes targeted or launched at another nation; and
No nukes can be targeted or incoming on you.
Note that in practice, this can make it challenging to leave a Faction, since you may be frequently targeted.
While outside a Faction, you cannot be targeted, and do not generate any Production.
Before joining, it's worth making sure a Faction isn't currently under mass bombardment.
Nations are randomly assigned a specialty.
Military Specialists build Nukes faster: They receive 50% more Nukes when converting Production.
Strategic Specialists build Shield faster: They receive 50% more Shield when converting Production.
Economic Specialists can accumulate more Production: Their cap is 200% higher.
Cost of Nukes/Shield in Production Points
Military Specialist
Strategic Specialist
Economic Specialist
1 Nuke
1 Shield
Nations generate Production automatically at a rate of 1 Production per 2 minutes.
Production can be spent on Nukes or Shield.
If not spent, Production accumulates up to a maximum of 50 for Military and Strategic Specialists and 200 for Economic Specialists.
Nukes are purchased with Production, kept in stockpile until ready, then targeted and launched at an enemy nation.
Launched Nukes take 3-5 minutes to reach their target. While in-flight, they can be shot down by any nation using Shield. If they're not, each Nuke generates 1% of Radiation in the target and earns 1 Strike for the attacker.
Shield can be used to knock out Launched Nukes. You can shoot down any in-flight Nukes regardless of who they are aimed at.
Locate in-flight Nukes under Launches or Incoming, and use the DESTROY button to eliminate them at a rate of 1 Shield per Nuke.
It is possible to waste Shield if multiple nations deploy Shield simultaneously to knock out the same Nukes.
Target a nation by viewing their Nuke page and clicking/tapping TARGET. You may then select how many Nukes to target from your Stockpile.
It takes 10 minutes for a Targeted Nuke to reach a READY state, after which it may be launched.
If not launched after 1 hour, Targeted Nukes automatically return to your Stockpile.
Radiation is generated in a nation when it is struck by a Nuke.
Radiation proportionately reduces a nation's Production generation rate. For example, 20% Radiation reduces Production generation by 20%.
When a nation is 100% Radiated, it is destroyed and no longer able to launch any Nukes nor use any Shield.
Radiation is irreversible.
You can leave a Faction when irradiated, but this does not affect your Faction's score.
A Faction's score measures strikes and radiation that occurred while those nations were a member. It is unaffected by nations joining or leaving the Faction.
Used to buy Nukes and Shield. Automatically generated by all non-destroyed nations in a Faction.
Unholy instrument of death and destruction.
Stockpiled Nuke

Q: Win32 API TerminateProcess() returns success but process is not killed I'm using TerminateProcess() to kill another process (I know it's not the best way, but it's existing code that is already deployed). In most cases everything works as expected, but in two specific machines, the process is not killed, even though the TerminateProcess() return a non-zero value which means success.
We tried to kill the process from the task manager and it was killed.
The documentation says that the process will terminate only after all IO operations are finished or canceled, so we thought that maybe there is some pending IO operation, but if that was the case, task manager would also be unable to kill the process.
The process that calls TerminateProcess() is running under the system account, so we don't think it's a permission issue (also, if it was a permission issue we would expect the function to return ACCESS_DENIED).
The process that we are trying to kill is running as an initial program in an RDP session.
Does anyone have an idea about what can cause this behavior? Or maybe suggest ways to troubleshoot? We tried Process Monitor and Process Explorer but we didn't find anything.

Tours can provide a unique perspective to any city, and of course, New York City is no different. There's a wide array of exciting, engaging, and even eccentric tours available to cater to everyone's unique interests, including hard-to-please teens! Here's an eclectic list of some of my favorites.
KidTripster Tip: As a general rule, most tours are conducted "rain or shine" and normally won't give refunds. So when booking, make sure to check the weather forecast or be prepared to brave the elements, if necessary!
For budding detectives out there, Watson Adventures offers a completely different way to tour some select sights around New York City via a scavenger hunt! Here's how it works: each team gets a list of riddle-like clues to decode in order to identify an object at a number of locations and a 90-minute time limit to unearth the answers. When time's up, the teams reconvene with their Watson guide who reveals the correct responses. Your team earns a point for each correct answer, and the team with the most points gets a special prize. Because I'm sure that Sherlock Holmes and I would have been totally besties, this tour is one of my favorites! Themes for hunts range from Harry Potter at The Met to Daring Dash through Grand Central Station. It's seriously fun and surprisingly tricky. So bring your razor-sharp intellect and your sneakers for some sleuthing! Cost: Varies depending on tour.
KidTripster Tip: You're asked to pick a team name at the start of the hunt, and your guide may award extra points to the team with the best one. So brainstorm in advance to edge out the competition.
Did I have you at gold vault? The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is housed in a fortress-like structure appropriately nestled in the heart of the financial district and is one of only 12 Federal Reserve banks. Perhaps surprisingly, this high-security government bureau offers tours to the public. The friendly and informative staff will guide you on an hour-long experience through a handful of exhibits about the history of the Federal Reserve and how the American banking system works. After a session of questions and answers, you'll be ushered five floors below ground to see the marvel of engineering that is the gold vault. Here, you'll get to glimpse a portion of the nearly $241-billion in gold that's currently kept here. It's truly an amazing sight to see and definitely the highlight of the tour! The icing on the cake is the souvenirs that visitors receive on their way out – small bags of shredded money! Cost: Free.
KidTripster Tip: Though this tour is free, tickets are a bit tricky to secure because of the limited number of spaces available for each tour. Blocks of tickets are released a month in advance, so plan ahead and be sure to make a reservation early.
If you're traveling with fans of the paranormal, sign up for a tour with New York Ghosts to see the best spots in Greenwich Village for a ghoulishly, good time. To prompt apparitions and supernatural activity, this venture is only conducted at night. The 90-minute tour will have you stalking the eerie streets, as your guide provides bone-chilling details about the sites where the area's most gruesome deaths and malicious murders occurred and also shares well-documented stories about the spooky spirits that still linger here. Be warned, this tour is so spine-tingling that afterwards, you may find yourself sleeping with the lights on! Cost: Youth (12 & under) $14; Adults $25. Recommended for ages 10 and up.
KidTripster Tip: Unless you're touring in the "dead" of summer, be sure to layer up or risk being colder than the deceased that surround you!
Calling all cape-wearers and Comic-Con crusaders! This is your chance to find out everything that you ever wanted to know about your favorite superheroes. This tour was created by one of DC Comic's former cartoonists who used to draw Batman and Superman! In 1-1/2 hours, you'll hear the history of the golden age of comics and discover details about the epic rivalry between DC and Marvel. As a huge Avengers fan, I was completely geeking out when we visited the spot where Captain American and the crew fought their first battle together. The guide gives you time for a photo op, so you and your tribe can strike your most heroic poses! If you or your family love superheroes, this tour is a must-do. Cost: $35.
Graff Tours showcases the street art and graffiti scene in New York City. The tour is given by actual graffiti artists, so you're getting the real inside scoop. By the end of the 1-1/2 hours, you'll know the difference between a throw-up, floater, and burner (that's graffiti lingo). You'll also learn some theories about how and where graffiti art originated and hear stories about several prominent artists, as well as see examples of their amazing work. I'll caution you that after taking the tour, you may feel the urge to pick a spray can yourself. If that's the case, you can sign up for the graffiti art lessons that they also offer! Cost: Youth $15; Adults $20.
If you're as obsessed with "A Dot Ham" as the rest of the country is, you've gotta do this tour. Jimmy Napoli, the tour's creator, is a self-proclaimed "edutainer" with a seemingly infinite knowledge of American history and all-things-Hamilton. He and the other guides fuse history and humor to present a fully engaging and entertaining tour devoted to the man that inspired the musical. I loved learning all the little-known facts that they shared. And they stole my musical-theater heart when they inserted lyrics of songs from the show during the highly informative, three-hour tour. (Sometimes our group would even break into a full chorus which, as you can imagine, attracted stares from strangers on the street!) There are two Manhattan tours that you can take – Hamilton's Wall Street and Hamilton's Harlem. Both are fascinating and informative but cover different aspects of his life. If your feet tend to give out easily, definitely take the Harlem tour, as there's less walking involved. Cost: $50.
You probably won't find folks more passionate about pizza than these guys. In fact, the founder of the tour, Scott Weiner, holds the Guinness World Record for the largest pizza box collection – 595 to be exact. (Mama mia, that's a lot of pizza!) The business offers several different walking tours where you visit three pizzerias and sample a slice from each, all while listening to your guide explain the distinctions between wood and gas ovens and different types of doughs and how these things and more affect how your pizza tastes. I recommend the Original Crosstown Pizza Walk as it originates in Little Italy, where this country's love affair with pizza all began. Cost: $45.
KidTripster Tip: If you have an allergy or dietary restriction, let them know ahead of time, and they'll do their best to accommodate you. However, if you want to ensure a fully, allergy-free experience, schedule a private tour and mention your allergy. They'll take you to the best pizzerias for gluten-free, vegan or any food challenges that you may have.
No sports fan's stay in New York would be complete without a trip to the home of the most storied franchise in baseball. The new Yankee Stadium has only been in use since 2009, but it still has a ton of memorabilia that pays homage to the history of this celebrated team and its past players. Though the itinerary may change depending on the day and time of your visit, the hour-long tour gives you exclusive access to some of the coolest parts of the ballpark including the Yankee Museum, the press box, and even the dugout. For true baseball fanatics, it's sure to be a hit! Cost: Youth (under 3) Free; Youth (under 14) $23; Adult $25.
KidTripster Tip: If you happen to visit when the team is in town and plan to see a game, take the pre-game tour. You'll most likely end the tour by watching batting practice from section 105. Sometimes the players will even come say "hi" to the crowd. If you're a die-hard fan, it's totally worth the higher price tag!
KidTripster Tip: Save money by buying your tickets online before you head out. The online cost is the same for all ages - $20/ticket.
Have a future crimefighter in your midst? This tour is definitely for them! These excursions are led by retired NYPD cops, and boy, do they have stories to tell! While giving the history of some of the biggest corruption cases in the city over the last two centuries, they also add some stories about their own crazy experiences from their time on the force. During this 3-hour outing, you'll learn about all the dirty deeds done by different gangs and politicians as you visit the "scene of the crimes." Be advised, they often offer up some pretty gory details, though the guides say they'll paint a less vivid picture if younger kids are present. Cost: $59. Recommended for ages 10 and up.
For those who are up for something unique, try this experience that takes the traditional tour bus to a whole new level. The vehicle itself is like nothing that you've ever seen before. From the LED light show and stadium seating to the floor-to-ceiling view, you'll see the city in a whole new way. Oh, and did I mention, this bus also talks? The streets become the stage on this 75-minute trip, as you cruise through midtown Manhattan learning about some of New York City's most famous sites while watching dramatic dance and music performances along the way. This highly stimulating tour is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. Nothing can really prepare you for what's about to happen, so just kick back and enjoy The Ride! Cost: $55.
KidTripster Tip: No food or drinks except for bottled water are allowed on The Ride.

Singer Rory Feek, of the husband-wife country duo Joey & Rory, confirmed on his blog yesterday that his wife Joey Feek has been moved into hospice care, where she will spend her final days.
In a post titled "an answer to prayer" on the family's "This Life I Love" blog, Rory Feek wrote that his wife was hospitalized on Nov. 6, and by Nov. 9 the family had arranged for a hospital bed to be delivered to their house. During their stay at the hospital, Rory snapped a bittersweet photo of the couple's 20-month-old daughter Indiana in Joey's arms.
In June 2014 Joey Feek revealed that she had been battling cervical cancer, but last month she announced she was no longer undergoing treatment after the diagnosis was deemed terminal, People.com reported.


Rice Krispies are possibly the best gluten free cereal out there for kids. They snap, crackle and pop – always a great mood lifter in the morning – and are easy to eat for children. These bites are the perfect gluten free after school treat or party food.
Line a large tray (you may need an extra one) with baking parchment. Melt the marshmallows, toffee and butter together in a pan over a low heat. Once melted, take off the heat and allow to cool for a couple of minutes before adding the rice krispies to the mix and placing in the fridge.
Leave your Snap Crackle and Pop Rice Krispie Bites in the fridge for a couple of hours, overnight would be even better, before serving. You can also drizzle them with melted chocolate to make them extra naughty!

Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974, Michael Cimino)
2 January 2017 Andrew Wickliffe	Leave a comment
Thunderbolt and Lightfoot is the story of men in all their complexities. Their desire for money, their desire for women, their desire for stylish clothes. Whether a young man–Jeff Bridges–or an older man–Clint Eastwood–how can any of us truly understand these deep, complex beings.
I wish the film had that level of pretense, but it doesn't. Writer-director Cimino has a lot of machismo issues to work out and he also wants to draw a lot of attention to Eastwood's character's Korean War valor. Is it a commentary on the Vietnam War? It would suggest a deeper level to the film, which is otherwise initially Bridges and Eastwood's comedic misadventures avoiding George Kennedy, while the second half is Bridges, Eastwood, and Kennedy teaming up to rob a bank. Thunderbolt and Lightfoot's Eastwood-lite second half is a sequence of questionable sight gag "comedy" and boring car chases. Oh, and the lamest heist sequence ever. Cimino's direction is all about the Idaho and Montana vistas. He doesn't pace well, though editor Ferris Webster does no favors.
Frank Stanley's photography is fine. It's occasionally too impersonal, but it's not like a better lighted pool hall was going to fundamentally fix the film. Cimino's script–and his resulting film–are real shallow. Kennedy's the closest thing to a full character just because Kennedy has to contend with big contrary actions. Cimino forcefully shoehorns them into the script, complete with dialogue to foreshadow, and Kennedy manages to make them work. No one else is as lucky.
Except maybe Geoffrey Lewis. He's the film's comedy relief, someone everyone–Kennedy, Bridges, and Eastwood–can bully. Men like to bully. It makes them men. Bullying and knowing almost nothing about concussions, even though all implied backstory is to the contrary of the latter. Lewis actually works in the background, just because Cimino treats him like scenery. But Lewis stays busy.
Eastwood's got a nothing character. Initially he's just running away from Kennedy. Then he teams up with Bridges and they have cinema's lamest bromance. Cimino forces in some exposition on Bridges, which Bridges delivers in an annoying, obnoxious, insipid fashion. Eastwood gets none. He has no character. He delivers a decent performance nonetheless, apparently able to pretend there's some depth to not just his character, but the film itself.
And Bridges. As it turns out, Bridges maybe gives the film's most appropriate performance. He's doing something, it's not working, so he just does more of it. Also the perfect description of Cimino and Thunderbolt and Lightfoot.
A weak score from Dee Barton rounds it out. Besides the Montana travelogue, which is gorgeous, a lot of cameos from seventies character actors, and Kennedy's performance, there's not much to the film. It needs a better director and a much, much better script.
Written and directed by Michael Cimino; director of photography, Frank Stanley; edited by Ferris Webster; music by Dee Barton; produced by Robert Daley; released by United Artists.
Starring Clint Eastwood (Thunderbolt), Jeff Bridges (Lightfoot), Geoffrey Lewis (Eddie Goody) and George Kennedy (Red Leary).

Airport (1970, George Seaton)
14 December 2011 Andrew Wickliffe	Leave a comment
While it did start the seventies disaster genre, Airport barely qualifies. The first hour of the film is excruciating soap opera melodrama—airport chief Burt Lancaster is stuck in a loveless marriage with harpy Dana Wynter, so he's got a flirtation going with widowed Jean Seberg. His sister, played by Barbara Hale, is stuck in a loveless marriage with pilot Dean Martin, who's carrying on with stewardess Jacqueline Bisset.
Lancaster is only stepping out on Wynter because she's awful to him… Hale's great to Martin, but she's barren, so it's tacitly agreed he's expected to step out. Seaton's script is really direct about that point—it's Hale's fault.
Casting Martin as a megalomaniac pilot is an interesting choice. His performance is awful, but it's appropriate. Once the disaster kicks in, however, he gets a little better.
Lancaster looks disinterested and bored with the film; Seberg is okay, though her role is seriously underwritten. The first half of the film belongs to Helen Hayes, playing a stowaway. She's the best thing in the film.
Maureen Stapleton's good (though the script fails her); Whit Bissell probably gives film's second best performance.
The second half, the disaster part… is actually somewhat worse. It moves faster, but it's less competent as Seaton make Martin into an angel.
Seaton's direction is awful. Though the film clearly has a budget, he shoots the interiors like he doesn't. His Panavision composition is shockingly inept.
Combined with Alfred Newman's truly atrocious score, Airport is a miserable viewing experience.
Directed by George Seaton; screenplay by Seaton, based on the novel by Arthur Hailey; director of photography, Ernest Laszlo; edited by Stuart Gilmore; music by Alfred Newman; produced by Ross Hunter; released by Universal Pictures.

The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988, David Zucker)
Oh, okay… it's less than ninety minutes. I was wondering why The Naked Gun felt so fast. It's because it's short.
That observation isn't a negative one—the film is a constant delight, with Zucker, Abrahams, Zucker (and Pat Proft) coming up with a good laugh or gag every thirty to forty seconds. Someone should sit down and figure out how the humor's paced. Some of the gags get amusing because they keep them up (Leslie Nielsen being a terrible driver) as opposed to being particularly original, but then there are these fantastic inventive gags….
About halfway through, I realized Zucker (the directing Zucker) let the camera sit on his actors. His composition isn't great—it's not bad, but it's not particularly dynamic—but his direction is excellent. He has these long shots in this one exchange between Nielsen and Ricardo Montalban where he holds the shots to give each of them the maximum opportunity. While Nielsen's amazing—his performance in Gun is sometimes unbelievably good, he even holds it up as the script's approach shifts (from other people realizing he's a dimwit to the film's reality being slightly conked)—Montalban is great too. Zucker gives his best actors—Nielsen (obviously), Montalban and George Kennedy their own segments. Montalban and Kennedy's both involve food.
Unfortunately, even though she's not bad, Priscilla Presley is out of her league acting-wise.
Nancy Marchand is excellent in a smaller role and John Houseman's cameo is wonderful.
The Naked Gun is a superb comedy.
Directed by David Zucker; screenplay by Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams, David Zucker and Pat Proft, based on a television series created by Abrahams, David Zucker and Jerry Zucker; director of photography, Robert M.

The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (1991, David Zucker)
23 September 2011 Andrew Wickliffe	Leave a comment
Watching The Naked Gun 2½, its's almost immediate clear the missing Z-A or is it A-Z (being Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams) are the ones who made the first film funny. They don't contribute to this one's script—instead it's just the other Z, David Zucker (who also directs) and Pat Proft. The script is so 1991 topical it's painful… and it's lame too.
The topical stuff—George H.W. Bush is a character (being the president and all) and there's a lot about the Democratic Party being in trouble—would probably be funny on a sitcom. Or maybe on a "Saturday Night Live" sketch (why they didn't get Dana Carvey is beyond me). Then there's some stuff about evil energy companies. That aspect is still topical, I suppose.
Particularly stupid is the film taking place in Washington, D.C. They explain Leslie Nielsen is just visiting from Los Angeles, but apparently George Kennedy and O.J. Simpson transferred.
Nielsen's able to keep it together, even though the script only gives him a good laugh every three minutes (instead of every thirty seconds like the original), but Kennedy looks exhausted. Simpson's good. Priscilla Presley is weak too (Zucker and Proft break her and Nielsen up off screen so they can reunite in the story—awful decision). Robert Goulet's awful.
The film also has a stupid female police commissioner character just like the first one. It's a subtle bit of misogyny.
The jokes occasionally work, but it's a lukewarm, lousy sequel.

NDC Quashes Kwesi Dawood's Suspension
/ Politics, Politics
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) says its Functional Executive Committee (FEC) has overturned the suspension of its Central Regional Communication Officer, Mr. Kwesi Dawood.
The Central Regional Executive Committee of the party had suspended Dawood for alleged incest, however, the Functional Executive Committee says the decision of the regional executives is prejudicial as Mr. Dawood is standing criminal trial in court.
A statement issued by the party said the Functional Executive Committee at a meeting held Wednesday, 13th October, 2021 took the view that the suspension of Mr. Kwesi Dawood was not only prejudicial to the matter pending in Court, but that it also violates the rights of a criminally accused person to a fair trial, the rules of natural justice and Article 46(1)(a)(c)(d) of the NDC Constitution.
The statement signed by the General Secretary of the party, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, said only the Functional Executive Committee at the national level of the party has the power to suspend an office holder of the party at the regional level and that Dawood's purported suspension by the Central Regional Executive Committee of the party is wrongful and without regard for due process.
"As a law abiding party, we do not and will not condone crime of any form. Neither will we judge an accused person unheard nor presume him guilty until proven innocent. Thus, the Functional Executive Committee will abide by the decision of the Court hearing the matter on the guilt or innocence of the accused person, before we decide on whether or not he should be subjected to disciplinary proceedings of the party.
"The leadership of the party will be meeting with the Central Regional Executive Committee in the coming days to resolve all outstanding issues. We urge all officials and members of the Party in the Central Region, particularly members of the Communication Team to stay focused and work hard with a united sense of purpose towards the Victory 2024 Agenda of the party."

'It's karma,' says alleged victim of former N.J. priest found shot to death in Nevada
A 1985 photo of then-Rev. John Capparelli when he was head of a Catholic youth group. He was later removed from the priesthood after allegations of sexual abuse of young boys. (File photo)
By Kelly Heyboer | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
Rich Fitter wasn't sure how he was supposed to feel when his phone started lighting up late Monday night with the news that the former priest he said sexually abused him and other young boys for years was dead -- shot to death in Nevada.
But Fitter said he knows one thing: John Capparelli, the former New Jersey priest and teacher who was dogged by abuse allegations for years but never prosecuted, will never be able to hurt anyone again.
"The world is a safer place without him," said Fitter, of Sparta. "The guy had a 40-year record of abuse. Whatever lead to his death, it's a certain amount of karma."
Capparelli, 70, was found shot to death in his house in Henderson, Nevada, Saturday morning after police were asked to conduct a welfare check, local law enforcement officials said.
"Preliminary investigation indicates the victim died of suspicious circumstances, and the incident is being investigated as a homicide," local police said in the statement. "A suspect has not been identified at this time and police are following up on developed leads."
Capparelli was one of 188 priests and deacons in the state who had been "credibly accused" of child sexual abuse, according to a list released by New Jersey's five Catholic dioceses last month. But the allegations against him were well known.
He was accused of groping, photographing and brutalizing young boys, often asking them to wrestle in tight swimwear. He was also linked to a fetish website he allegedly ran. He was removed from ministry in 1992 and eventually defrocked by the Catholic Church.
However, he was able to get a job as a public school teacher in Newark until a report by The Star-Ledger detailed his past. He eventually surrendered his teaching licenses in New Jersey and moved to Nevada.
Despite multiple accusers who came forward with similar stories of abuse, Capparelli never admitted to any wrongdoing.
Fitter filed a civil lawsuit against him and the Catholic Church in 2011 in part to hold the former priest accountable for the alleged abuse that he never had to answer for in criminal court. The case was settled for an undisclosed amount.
Richard Fitter speaks to the media at a protest of priest sex abuse victims in front of the Statehouse in 2011. They called for New Jersey to lift its statute of limitations on sex abuse civil lawsuits.(Star-Ledger file photo)
Fitter, who works as a personal trainer and writer, said he did not know Capparelli had moved to Nevada. He wants to know if the former priest continued his pattern of alleged abuse or had any contact with young boys in his new state.
"I can't see a change," Fitter said. "I'll be very interested to see what police find in his house . . . I don't see that type of sociopath and predator changing."
Fitter said he is still processing the news of the death of the former priest he says haunted his dreams for decades. But, his thoughts keep returning to one explanation.
"It's karma," he said. "I do think there's a certain karma."

Q: Custom SimpleCursor adapter BindView calls I wanted to know if there is a way to make the BindView work only once per item?
Are items that we scroll away from the screen getting destroyed? and when they come back we must run bindview again?
The reason is I got my adapter to Download an image and set it on the item.
when i scroll the image is getting downloaded again, even if i didnt quit the application.
the bindview is called each time an item "returns" into display so even tho i already downloaded it, it will preform the asyntask again ( the asyntask is called in the adapter)
I even tried saving BLOB on my database after each download, to know when to call the asyntast and when just to make a bitmap out of the array
if(photoBArray != null){
            Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(photoBArray, 0, photoBArray.length);
                holder.icon.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
            }else{
            holder.icon.setImageResource(R.drawable.loader);
            String urlString = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/photo?maxwidth=100&photoreference="
                    + c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(PlacesDBHelper.PHOTO_REFERENCE_COL))+"&key=API_KEY";
            Log.e("Photo REFERENCE", c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(PlacesDBHelper.PHOTO_REFERENCE_COL)));
            try {
                URL url = new URL(urlString); // create new URL object from url string
                new ImageDownloader(holder.icon, this).execute(url);
            }catch (Exception e){
                Log.e("Error in url", e.getMessage());
            }
            }

I am using chrisbanes pulltorefresh listview as well, im not sure if thats the casue for the problem
Bottom line question: how to make an item look steady and ready when he gets back into the screen and not beeign created again? ( cause even if i dont dowloand an image and only setting a bitmap, the action of setimagebitmap might be visible on a slow phone)
Thanks in advance!

A: The entire point of ListView is to recycle row views. They aren't destroyed, they are passed back to the adapter to be bound with new data for another row. It is expected that getView (or bindView in the case of cursor adapters) will be called again if you scroll an item off screen far enough and then scroll it back on screen.
What you need is an image caching layer between the download task and the adapter. When bindView happens, first check the cache to see if the image is there. If it is, use it. If it's not, download it and add it to the cache, then use it.
