They've come up in my feed, but having seen WHATS THE MATTER WITH HELEN? and his later RUBY (with a slumming PIPER LAURIE) I have to admit, I'm not exactly hungry for more of his work.
I understand he did a lot for classic film preservation, but damn that dude couldn't direct lemmings off a cliff.
I always found it strange given how far out Harrington's films and shorts were that he was hired to direct a few episodes of Dynasty around 1984.

I remember thinking that Remember My Name was a very good film, with a sterling performance from Geraldine Chaplin (and also the short but striking film debut of the exceptional Alfre Woodard, one of the most dependably good actresses out there working today). It might have been labeled underground, but it also works as a neo-noir. I once remember recommending it to a friend of mine on the internet, but he wasn't as impressed as I was with it, although he didn't hate it. It's also a very rare film. It cannot be released on DVD due to music rights, and was never put on VHS, so the only times when it is visible is when it turns up on TCM.
45 minutes ago, CinemaInternational said:
I'm about 45 minutes into it. It's OK, but Chaplin is interesting, and I actually sat up when I noticed that was Alfre Woodard- And even more so when I learned her boyfriend was played by the guy who played Bubba the hot cop on the TV show IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT.
BUBBA WAS FINE AS HELL!
It's extremely well shot, but I keep thinking of the tragic ends of both Perkins and his wife Berry Berenson (she was one of the victims of the September 11 attacks in New York.)
(Also this is kind of ironic because I know the music is the reason the film has rights issues, but I don't particularly like the music at all. I find it to be a little bit outré !)
I don't know man, DYNASTY Was pretty out there.
There was one season finale where Claudia was kidnapped by a UFO.
If it's never been on DVD, it's baffling that TCM can even run it. Another that TCM ran a couple or three years back that can't be gotten on DVD and is rare as hen's teeth on VHS is a movie called Happy New Year that starred Peter Falk. I missed recording it the one time TCM ran it and have been waiting and praying for a re-run ever since. The reason I want it so badly is because an actress I've long been in love with - Wendy Hughes - is her gorgeous self in it. Another Wendy Hughes film I search and search for, to no avail, is the Australian-made My First Wife.

I watched Remember My Name for about the first half hour so, not feeling like doing anything else at
that time of the night. Talk about slow moving. This thing makes a glacier seem speedy. Maybe it got
better in the second half, but what I saw of it was just another spouse stalker movie and one that
was pretty unoriginal at that. Not underground, just another flick with bona fide movie stars that
never made much of an impact. I did get a kick out of the hair style of a young Jeff Goldblum. I'm sorry
I missed Bubba. Even he eventually grew to be friends with Virgil Tibbs after a rough beginning.
Can't wait to see The Glory Stompers tonight. Who can resist a title like that. Hey mister, you got some
of that glory? You do. Well we're goin' take your glory and stomp on it, stomp it down to the ground

I've seen THE GLORY STOMPERS before. It's a barrel of (very) low-grade fun if you're in the right mood. 😀
@37Kitties: If you live in the USA you can find MY FIRST WIFE (1984-Aus) for sale on Amazon. AMAZON doesn't make it easy to find VHS listings anymore, but the movie was released by 'CONTINENTAL Home Video' circa 1986. It has been OOP for years as you probably have guessed -- but "My First Wife" can be found depending on the budget you have at your disposal.
So should you journey to Amazon and narrow your search to 'Movies & Tv' and then type "vhs MY FIRST WIFE" in the subject line it will come up for sale. You might have to scroll down the listings a little bit -- but the listing is there and there's 2 of them for sale. One is $27.00 + $3.99 shipping and the other is $28.75 + $3.99 shipping.
There are times when Amazon has VHS tapes for sale that are not currently found on eBay; however, nowadays Amazon makes it tricky to find certain VHS releases of movies that are for sale. Maybe the geniuses who run Amazon think every movie that's ever been issued on VHS has subsequently been released on DVD and/or Blu-Ray, which is definitely not the case.
→ Recently, I bought a Columbia VHS tape from Amazon of the 1978 television movie "A FAMILY UPSIDE DOWN" starring Fred Astaire and Helen Hayes. I did not find it on eBay for sale, but I checked Amazon and there was one for sale so I snagged it a few days ago and it will hopefully arrive next week. I'd almost forgotten that the tape I already had of this tele-film was a ropey copy and not a genuine 'Columbia' videocassette . . . so I figured I'd better try and find a *proper* tape before the VHS release just disappears into the mist. It looked to be a genuine tape I bought. I'm keeping my fingers xxx crossed xxx, anyway!
There are lots of hard-to-find VHS goodies sitting for sale on Amazon because it is simply difficult to locate some of them; I have found that it helps if I type
vhs A FAMILY UPSIDE DOWN
on the subject line instead of merely "A FAMILY UPSIDE DOWN".
ALSO: Anyone else remember the 1978 movie SLOW DANCING IN THE BIG CITY? I taped it off Cinemax all the way back in 2004 because it had never been made available on ßETA, VHS, DVD and has not been made available on Blu-Ray or 4K in the years since as far as I know. I suspect the music rights have kept SLOW DANCING IN THE BIG CITY off of any homevideo mediums to date. I remember hearing the song "I Feel The Earth Move" by Carole King in the movie; Anne Ditchburn rehearses to it.
Apparently, music rights issues have kept a small-ish number of movies off of DVD and/or Blu-Ray discs that had VHS releases such as LITTLE DARLINGS (Paramount), LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR (Paramount), AMERICAN HOT WAX (Fotomat).

Harvey once responded to an assertion about himself: "Someone once asked me, 'Why is it so many people hate you?' and I said, 'Do they? How super! I'm really quite pleased about it.'"
I'm kind of neutral on both actors. They both were in some good films, but they pretty much clunkered out
toward the end.
REMEMBER MY NAME would be a lot more interesting if the three leads were black.
Sorry if that sounds a little odd, but for those of you who've seen the movie, think about it.

you might not have recognized BUBBA (aka actor ALAN AUTRY) in REMEMBER MY NAME, he has curly blonde hair!!!!!!
[tried to post the one picture of him I could find in the movie but it will not post]
here he is as BUBBA:
(I'm from North Carolina, it's IN MY DNA to go for men like this....)
honestly, if the movie had been about his and ALFRE WOODARD's relationship, it might've been somethin more memorable!
better in the second half,
all I can say is LUCKY YOU.
My review is in the I JUST WATCHED thread.
That's the man. I didn't even notice his name in the credits (not that I was paying a lot of attention to
them) so I wasn't looking out for him, especially as a blond. I can see the appeal of Bubba--good looking
guy with a working out bod and charming for the most part. IOW, a hunka hunka burning love.
I usually gut it out if I've made it halfway through a movie, but I just had to give up on this one.
I read your take and I agree it would have been more interesting to put the three leads way to the
periphery and focus on other characters. Could have been a dramady about working in a second
tier grocery store. That would have been a whole other movie, but it couldn't be much worse than
the original. Could have changed the title to Remember Your Receipt.

Could have changed the title to "Remember Your Receipt".
I like that!!
(It's also a very valuable life lesson!)
Yes, though it seems stores keep changing their policies about receipts. When in doubt,
don't throw it out.
Was 'ALAN AUTRY' billed as 'CARLOS BROWN' in REMEMBER MY NAME (1978)? I recall the 1981 movie SOUTHERN COMFORT and he was billed as 'Carlos Brown' -- which may be his real name? I suspect he picked 'Alan Autry' as a stage name. ALSO: Didn't he become the mayor of Fresno, California at some time? Without cheating and going to Wikipedia and looking I think Alan Autry won the mayorship of Fresno some 20 years ago.
49 minutes ago, Mr. Gorman said:
YOU WIN THE DOOR PRIZE!
ALAN AUTRY was elected to two terms as MAYOR OF GLORIOUS FRESNO, CA, jewel of the WEST COAST.
He is also a supporter of the 45th (and former) president, so I completely rescind the sexual awakening I had sometime ca. 1990 sparked during the very special episode of IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT where we see BUBBA in a pair of black BVDS.
edit: you also get bonus points because he was indeed billed as CARLOS BROWN for his role in REMEMBER MY NAME. which just adds yet another layer of irony to the title of that film.


The clothing retail industry is affected by diminishing profits in the last few years. Moreover, the degree competition has become more intense as market entries occurred. Against all expectations the selling spaces are growing which leads to a predatory competition that culminates in increasing insolvencies. Basically, the clothing retail industry differs fundamentally from other industries. It is necessary to take these characteristics into deeper consideration before developing a new management accounting concept. The present paper can be seen as a result of a qualitative study that was made in medium-sized enterprises in the German clothing retail industry.

Lieberman: Moses Brought us Here, We won't Budge
Yisrael Beytenu head delivers motivational Rosh Hashana message to faction members.
Moses Syria Intervention
Avigdor Lieberman Hezki Ezra
The chairman of the Yisrael Beytenu faction, MK Avigdor Lieberman, had some motivational words for his faction's members Sunday, in an attempt to defuse tensions regarding the uncertain situation in Syria.
"There is no other country that has to deal with security challenges like the ones Israel deals with," he said, but added: "Moses brought us here and we won't budge."
Lieberman said that there is no justification for panic or for long lines at gas mask distribution centers.
"The entire Syrian civil war didn't begin because of Israel and I do not recommmend that anyone drag us in," he said. "We have no reason to be dragged in and I recommmend not to try us."
Lieberman, who is also the head of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Security Committee, stung Western countries that spend too much time trying to change things in Israel, but stand aside as the carnage in Syria reaches huge proportions. "100 thousand people were slaughtered in Syria and the world talks. And on the other side of the Arab world, Iran is taking advantage of the situation, increasing terrorism and carrying on with its nuclear program."
"We don't need a babysitter," he said, regarding relations with the Palestinian Authority (PA). "Let us take care of this matter on our own. The involvement [of others] only pushes a solution further away. When we see what goes on around us, we understand that we can only count on ourselves."
Lieberman admitted that the unification with Likud in a single list in the last elections cost the two parties Knesset seats. "I read the criticism," he said. "It's true, we lost some mandates, but the national camp is still in power."

Published on Spiegel Onine International, by Sebastian Hammelehle, April 13, 2015 (Photo Gallery: Remembering Günter Grass).
As a writer, he helped define postwar German literature. As a political activist, he helped shape the nation's conscience. For some 60 years, Günter Grass was one of the most influential figures in Germany (on de.wikipdia, and on en.wikipedia).
It was the All Saints' Day holiday weekend in 1958, and a fug of pipe and cigarette smoke hung heavy in the air at the Schwarzer Adler Inn in the Allgäu region of the German Alps, where legend has it that farmers gathered during the German Peasants' War in the 16th century. Standing underneath the stag's antlers hanging on the wall, Hans Werner Richter, president of the famed Gruppe 47 literary association, rang a cowbell. It was time for the assembled writers to quiet down and let the debut novelist seated to his right begin his reading.
As Richter later recalled, all it took was a few sentences for the room to be electrified. Grasping a thick wad of papers, the author with the walrus moustache read out loud two chapters of his book. The novelist was Günter Grass and the book was "The Tin Drum". Thirty-one-years-old at the time, he had been a familiar presence at the Gruppe 47 meetings, but until that day in autumn, his talent had gone largely unnoticed. The reading changed everything. "(It) started a whirlwind," says Richter. Siegfried Unseld, who went on to become the head of the prestigious Suhrkamp publishing company, urged Richter to give Grass the Gruppe 47 literature prize, which had last been awarded three years previously. There and then, the writers present began making phone calls and collecting funds — while Grass himself stood beaming at the bar and downing a homemade fruit brandy whenever Richter came up to him to tell him another 500 deutsche marks had been raised. Before too long, 5,000 deutsche marks had come together.
Grass was born on Oct. 16, 1927 in Danzig's working class Langfuhr neighborhood. His father ran a grocery store and his mother, as Grass was fond of telling and mythologizing, was the offspring of Kashubians, a Slavic ethnic group. As a child, he grew up in a modest two-room apartment with a small kitchen and a toilet shared with other families on the landing. The children didn't even have their own room in the apartment. "My sister and I each had a niche under the window sills of the living room. That's where I put my books and my things," he once said.
Although Grass studied sculpture and graphics at the Düsseldorf Kunstakademie, a famous art school in the city, from 1948 to 1952, following an apprenticeship in stone masonry, he still considered himself to be an autodidactic throughout his life. "I was an uneducated or only partially educated young man," he would recall. "I quit school at the age of 15 and I couldn't even spell properly when I began writing my first longer manuscript." Indeed, the manuscript for "The Tin Drum" was full of spelling mistakes.
After many years spent living in Berlin's Friedenau district and a sojourn in the Algarve, Portugal, Grass settled in Behlendorf in Schleswig-Holstein, where he could often be seen walking along the river smoking the obligatory pipe. He married his second wife in 1979 and was the father of six children from four relationships.
Grass proved he was worthy of the prize. That promising young novelist went on to become a literary icon.
Günter Grass died in Lübeck on Monday at the age of 87.

Cast in lead and iron..
Due to the harbour being neglected over previous years and the much needed improvements to the area of Ramsgate . Kent structural was approached to renovate the cast iron and lead water drainage system throughout the length of Military road that services the road running above the famous arches in the Royal harbour.
Much of the current cast iron and lead work was either damaged through vandalism or due to the harsh environment common with being adjacent to the sea.
Kent Structural was responsible for fabricating, managing and replacing all of the rainwater goods that needed renovating. The lead work had to be specially made and extruded to match existing details that had been there since 1782 .
The royal harbour was constructed in 1782 by John Smeaton and is now a listed structure, it is still used by a small fishing fleet, it has commercial slipways, lifeboats and a thriving pleasure craft mooring facility. The later commercial extension takes cross channel ferries departing to Ostend and services offshore wind farm activities in the Thames estuary and offshore sand banks.

Periscope Users Live-Pirated The MayPac Fight
Posted on May 4, 2015 by Lab Team
Read original story on: The Verge
This past Saturday night, the welterweight boxing championship match between Mayweather and Pacquiao captured the nation's attention. Yet the pay-per-view content providers HBO and Showtime weren't happy when they found out that a handful of paid viewers used live-streaming app Periscope and, to a lesser extent, rival app Meerkat, to re-broadcast the fight to thousands of non-paying fans. Twitter CEO, Dick Costolo, even declared Periscope the "winner" of the night via a tweet, but the obvious piracy issue here no doubt undermined such victory.
Despite the complications it causes in re-broadcasting live events, the rise of live-streaming apps also brings content creators new channels to connect with an increasingly fragmented audience. HBO itself used Periscope to offer a behind-the-scene look into Manny Pacquiao's dressing room via Twitter. When it comes to live-streaming, like many new media platforms before it, there may be more potential that could be utilized by media owners than its downsides.

How BitTorrent Is Wooing Advertisers
Posted on September 3, 2014 by Lab Team
BitTorrent Inc., the company behind the peer-to-peer file-sharing protocol that most torrent sites currently deploy for privacy, is courting advertisers. According to their pitch deck, the company is trying to convince advertisers that their transfer protocol is an ideal marketing platform for publishers and brands alike. Shredding its association with piracy, the company urges advertisers to reconsider it as a "software company that lets users download software, bundles of content and sync content across devices". Leveraging its high brand awareness and its alleged "counter-cultural position", the company might just get some brands on board.

Why Piracy Surges In Times Of Sudden Demand
Since the sad news of Robin Williams' untimely death broke, the Internet has been coping in its own ways. Amazon has seen a sharp rise in sales of DVD titles featuring the nationally beloved comedian. More interestingly, however, a large portion of the grieving Internet has turned to piracy in honor of the late Academy Award winner, highlighting how digital media can meet sudden spikes of demand.

Piracy: It's A Service Problem
Posted on October 25, 2013 by Lab Team
It's a simple question, really: Do people turn to piracy when the movies they want to watch are not available legally? It's the premise of a new research site, Piracy Data, whose stated goal is to utilize data and statistical analysis to answer that question. Piracy Data uses TorrentFreak's effective "Top 10 Most Pirated Movies of The Week" list , in addition to Can I Stream It, who provide an effective search engine for movies that are available for legal streaming, rental, or purchase on the Internet.
The results of this data, albeit only three weeks worth, are intriguing. Just over half – 53% – of the most pirated movies have been made available legally. Over that same three week period, only 20% of the top ten most pirated movies have been made available for digital rental. And if you wanted to stream even just one? No luck: not a single movie in this category can be streamed. Of the past week's top ten, six were available for online purchase; thus if you want to somehow watch any of "White House Down," "Elysium," "The Mortal Instruments City of Bones," or "2Guns," pirating is your only option.
For what it's worth, the MPAA has responded to the early press around Piracy Data in a Washington Post story, saying that, "Today there are more ways than ever to watch movies and TV shows legally online, and more are constantly being added. If a particular film isn't available at a given moment, however, it does not justify stealing it from the creators and makers who worked hard to make it." The founders of Piracy Data see it differently, however; they are of the opinion that instead of complaining about sites like Google showing infringing search results, the MPAA should take action and provide for more legal avenues to access the content that users are clamoring for.
The data, unfortunately for the MPAA, supports Piracy Data's claims. Because recently released titles aren't made available digitally soon after their theater release (say, within days instead of within weeks or months), users who don't want to go out to theaters but still want to see the movies when they're released often have no other option but to stream or download the films illegally. What's more, since these movies are only available illegally, Google has very little option but to display the only search results that that, for example, "Stream Elysium" would return: illegal streams. Because there are no legal sources available to display, Google's hands are tied.
It's a circuitous problem: because films aren't released digitally soon after their theater release, users who expect to be able to stream the content that they want are faced with no other options but to stream or download illegally. The Internet using populace wants to be able to stream video content across mediums, conveniently and immediately. The digital availability of all forms of media has fostered this attitude, but the film industry hasn't really responded. Right now, most movies that are in theaters require lengthy waits, sometimes even months after their theater releases, before they're available for legal streaming on the Internet.
Although it seems like this battle is set to go on for the foreseeable future, can we creatively think of a way out? I would argue that yes, we can, and that we can use two categories as case-studies: TV shows, and PC games. Looking to the former as a guide, it's clear that users are more than willing to pay for quality content. This isn't to say that Internet-savvy TV-show watchers are all innocent; Game of Thrones is the most-pirated show on the Internet, and it's showing no signs of stopping.
At the same time, however, services like HBO Go and Netflix have helped to stem that tide. Netflix has 29.2 million paid subscribers, is rated as being worth double-digit-billions by Forbes and Google; their 2013 Q1 Revenue was $1 Billion, and they made a profit of $3 Billion. Indeed, more users than ever are flocking to the streaming service, now that it's the exclusive place to watch Emmy-winning, original programming. Breaking Bad's director, Vince Gilligan, even went as far as to thank Netflix for saving his show, which was slipping in the rankings and was cancelled in the UK before exploding online.
And as the show made its episodes available on Netflix rapidly, so too did viewers respond: in the weeks leading up to the final season, the pilot of the show was the most watched episode of Breaking Bad on the platform, as users tried to watch the whole series from start to finish in advance of the final season.
Perhaps the most telling statistic is that during peak Internet usage hours, 30% of all American Internet traffic is dedicated to Netflix. It's not just Netflix, either. Streaming service Hulu has 4 million paid subscribers, and is available on over 120 million devices around the world. And at the same time, Amazon Instant Video, in combination with Amazon Prime, allows users to stream videos where they want, across devices and platforms; the service is undeniably on the up, particularly with those who use A.I.V. on physical devices like Apple TV and TiVo.
The point, here, is eloquently summarized by Kevin Spacey. Talking about his experience with House of Cards, he said, "Clearly the success of the Netflix model, releasing the entire season of House of Cards at once, proved one thing: the audience wants the control. They want the freedom. If they want to binge… we should let them binge…. And through this new form of distribution, we have demonstrated that we have learned the lesson that the music industry didn't learn: give people what they want, when they want it, in the form they want it in, at a reasonable price and they'll more likely pay for it rather than steal it." To his point, the number of Netflix unpaid subscribers has rapidly dropped off since House of Card's inception, from 1.7 to 1.1 million over the course of 2013, and according to a recent LSE dissertation, "unpaid forms of film consumption do not necessarily displace paid consumption forms, i.e. they do not always act as a substitute."
It's not just TV shows though. PC game piracy has also been affected by this concept, specifically upon the advent of Steam. For those that are unfamiliar with the service, Steam is a game distribution, game rights management, and multiplayer gaming platform developed by Valve Corporation in the interest of distributing games and other, related forms of media online. It's distributed through a free software interface that allows users to sign into their accounts from the PC and access their games from the cloud.
The capabilities of Steam don't end there, though. The medium allows users to log into their accounts on a friend's computer, and access their game libraries from other devices. One account can only be logged into from one computer at a time, of course, but it's a system that allows users to access gaming content where they want it, when they want it. And according to Forbes, who cited a Northeastern study, "the actual number of illicit digital copies of computer games accessed on BitTorrent is nowhere near as high as claimed, with only around 12.6 million unique peers worldwide sharing illicit copies of games."
Forbes goes on to point out that, both at present and in the future, cloud-based gaming (in a not-so-subtle reference to Steam) is a deterrent to Piracy because of the structure of the platform and because the user is locked into the software system. Indeed, in a separate piece, Forbes cites Valve and Steam's valuation as somewhere between $2 and $4 billion. At any given moment, there are, on average, 4.59 million users on the platform. And in an interesting case study, a game called The Witcher 2 sold around 35,000 physical copies and 10,000 digital copies, while on Steam the game was purchased over 200,000 times.
So what are the implications of these nebulous platforms and programs for the film Industry? The CEO of Steam, Gabe Newell, thinks that Piracy can be, at least in large part, curtailed by a change in philosophy. "Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. For example, if a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable." Internet-savvy users tend go agree. To cite the "Best" (or most up voted comment) in a Reddit thread on Piracy: "I used to pirate video games, then Steam came along and I stopped … I used to Pirate movies, then Netflix came along, and well, I still kind of pirate movies because I find the cinema to be a poor experience and don't want to wait." It's almost a poetic response to Spacey's thoughts on Netflix. If you give the people the quality content they want, when they want it, they're happy to pay for it.
Of course, the logistics of movie distribution and industry standards are large obstacles, and Piracy will remain on the Internet; people still break the law on a regular basis even with the threat of the police and jail time. But if the film industry, or a third party for that matter, wants to get out ahead of Piracy, look no further than a Steam-meets-Netflix-like service for films and shows, with a robust ownership system and multi-device software platform that allows people to access their content when they want it, where they want it, on whatever screen they want it on. If the MPAA, and the film industry at large, decided to use their massive political and financial clout to develop such an affordable, sustainable system, the data from other, similar industries struck by piracy suggest that users would be ready and willing to pay for it.

I went along to my barber, Rebel Rebel, in Glasgow where I had a hot towel shave to remove any trace of my beard ahead of my month long moustache growing. Having had a beard for the past 4½ years it felt slightly odd being cleanly shaven again. Nonetheless, for one month I kept my face shaven apart from my moustache. I had a hard time deciding what style to grow, but after a short vote in the office, I went for the horseshoe moustache, which is also known as a biker moustache.
After a month, this is the final result.
I'd like to say a massive thank you to everyone who sponsored me during Movember, I managed to raise a total of £100 for the Movember charity.
Every year, for one month, perfectly normal men across the globe, begin obsessively competing to grow the wildest, bushiest facial hair they can muster in 28 days to raise money for charity.
As part of my latest fitness drive, I've set myself the triple challenge of not only competing in my first competitive event and raising money for charity, also I have also set a time to complete the run in as well.

Q: Rails: Hidden field in form_for is not sending parameters to controller I have a form_for I'm making in my view helper that is going to let one user promote another user from a group.
  def promote_button_for(group, user)
    membership = group.get_membership( user )
    form_for membership, :url => group_membership_path( group, membership ) do |f|
      f.hidden_field :group_creator

      f.submit( "Promote", :onclick => "return confirm(\"Are you sure you want to promote #{user.email} to an officer?\")" )
    end
  end

When I submit the form via the button, I don't seem to get any of the hidden field parameters sending to the controller.

</form>

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!

A: You are having this problem because the form_for object is only seeing the string that is generated by the last f.submit tag, while everything else between the form_for and the f.submit is lost.
In this case, the form_for tag does not manipulate the view directly, as it is basically just a string that is returned from the promote_button_for method.
The answer is that you just need to chain the generated tags together, like this:
def promote_button_for(group, user)
  membership = group.get_membership( user )
  form_for membership, :url => group_membership_path( group, membership ) do |f|
    f.hidden_field(:group_creator) << \
    hidden_field_tag('test', '1') << \
    f.submit( "Promote", :onclick => "return confirm(\"Are you sure you want to promote #{user.email} to an officer?\")" )
  end
end

Notice the << \, which concatenates all the generated strings together and returns them to form_for.

A: Can you try
f.hidden_field :group_creator, {:value => ''}

These are notes from week 3 of our fall 2012 Spiritual Parenting class, using the book "Opening Your Child's Spiritual Windows: Ideas to Nuture Your Child's Relationship with God" by Cheri Fuller. This week focuses on the theme, "The Wonder Window." Please refer to our class schedule for links to notes from other weeks of our study.
When was the last time you deliberately took time out of your "normal" schedule to experience WONDER at the amazing universe God has created? Cheri points out in this chapter that children seem to naturally "experience wonder" much more than adults do. Have you ever been overwhelmed by number of WHY questions a young child can ask? Kids often wonder about stuff because they're experiencing the WONDER of living in an amazing (and often confusing) world. We need to connect with this experience of WONDER and use those moments to share how we look at the world "through our God lenses." This is an important part of living life as spiritual parents.
Worthy, O Master! Yes, our God! Take the glory! the honor! the power! You created it all; It was created because you wanted it.
For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels-everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him.
Write this down for the next generation so people not yet born will praise God: "God looked out from his high holy place; from heaven he surveyed the earth. He listened to the groans of the doomed, he opened the doors of their death cells." Write it so the story can be told in Zion, so God's praise will be sung in Jerusalem's streets And wherever people gather together along with their rulers to worship Him.
But now, God's Message, the God who made you in the first place, Jacob, the One who got you started, Israel: "Don't be afraid, I've redeemed you. I've called your name. You're mine. When you're in over your head, I'll be there with you. When you're in rough waters, you will not go down. When you're between a rock and a hard place, it won't be a dead end— Because I am God, your personal God, The Holy of Israel, your Savior. I paid a huge price for you: all of Egypt, with rich Cush and Seba thrown in! That's how much you mean to me! That's how much I love you! I'd sell off the whole world to get you back, trade the creation just for you.
In this chapter Cheri encourages us to think about and use all our SENSES to experience wonder at God's world and His creation. Many of the activities she suggests are most appropriate for younger children, but many can be experienced together with older family members too. A big part of Cheri's encouragement, through stories she relates, is to take time to NOTICE and FOCUS on different elements in the natural world. The feel of tree bark or whiskers on dad's face, the smell outside after a rainstorm, the beauty of the clouds as they float by on a summer afternoon. Each season has unique natural wonders to observe and enjoy. Too often, Cheri points out correctly, we are so BUSY with our SCHEDULES and hectic lives that we fail to make time to experience wonder.
Don't make this mistake this week. Your homework, should you choose to accept it, is to intentionally find a time and a place in the next week to experience the WONDER of God's world together with another member of your family. Then come to our meeting next week prepared to discuss and share what you experienced.
Cheri shares a good story (on page 40) about a family who created some special shirts after experiencing an abundance of floral color on a trip to the mountains one year. Those special tie-dyed shirts became a reminder for everyone in the family not only of the trip, but also of the amazing colors God uses to paint our world… because that was something they discussed and focused on together on that special trip. I really like that idea of creating symbols and articles of clothing that we can wear which will serve as physical reminders of these intangible lessons we want to continually remember and highlight. God created an amazing, WONDER-FILLED world for us to experience, and we should live our lives with our eyes wide open to His glory.
One of the activities Cheri mentions is stargazing with our kids. This past summer I learned about and bought the 99 cent iPhone app, "The Night Sky." It's been awesome to use it for identifying planets as well as stars in the evenings. Another iOS stargazing app I have, but don't like quite as much, is "Distant Suns." There is a free "lite" version as well as a $10 fancy, 3rd version. I have an older version so maybe I need to try the new one. Whether or not you download and use apps like these, it's a GREAT idea to get out and stargaze together. Looking up at the heavens together is a great way to experience the WONDER of living in God's amazing creation.
These are notes from week 1 of our fall 2012 Spiritual Parenting class, using the book "Opening Your Child's Spiritual Windows: Ideas to Nuture Your Child's Relationship with God" by Cheri Fuller. In this week's class we got an overview of this book's focus: Helping us be aware of and make time for "spiritual windows" which are opportunities to discuss God and share our faith with our families.
It's amazing to see how different children can be who are raised in the same family, by the same parents, following pretty much the same guidelines and household rules. God makes us each unique and very different! In the same way we are made different, we each have unique spiritual journeys. There is not a single "recipe" or "formula" for how to lead a child to God and to know Christ. This book is full of ideas, but Cheri emphasizes from the start that our spiritual journeys as Christians are each unique and individual. We shouldn't expect the spiritual experiences of our children (or spouses for that matter) to be uniform and standardized. Some kids come to faith at at early age, some people don't get to know God and profess their faith in Him till much later in life. Some people go through intense times of "searching for God" in their college years. Others grow up with a strong sense of faith from a young age and never lose it.
Cheri makes an analogy about raising kids I thought was interesting: She says "raising kids is like nailing Jell-O to a tree." The best laid plans are often derailed. That doesn't mean we abandon our plans, but it does mean we shouldn't expect everything to be "planable" or to work out according to OUR plan. God's plan is perfect, and He choooses when to reveal it to us. His plan for each of us is unique.
Why is spiritual development so different for different people?
Just as children have critical windows of opportunity for learning language, music, and logic, as my book "Opening Your Child's Nine Learning Windows" discusses, they also have important spiritual windows of opportunity… These windows are best opened early in life, though as you'll discover, if a child's personality or circumstances keep her from a specific stage in the process, any time in life can be the right time to catch up.
Cheri points out that kids are natural seekers. "Kids spend a lot of time thinking and wondering about God," she writes. Cheri contends children are "more contemplative and more inclined toward intellectual and moral interests in later childhood," and cites a statistic that "85% of kids' attitudes about God, church, and the Bible develop in the preschool years." This is in line with statistics I've read from George Barna's Research Group, which consistently points out the importance of Kids' Ministries programs for spiritual development. The harsh lesson from studies about spiritual formation is that for MOST people in the United States at least, if they don't "meet God" and form a spiritual connection to God early in life, they will never form one. That doesn't mean we shouldn't evangelize to older people and work to both share God's word and show God's love, but it DOES point to the critical importance of helping children know God early in life.
Cheri doesn't put too much stock in "stages" of development, since each child is unique. Her takeaway and recommendation on this is to not adopt a "cookie cutter" approach to spiritual development. We can't see inside each other's hearts and minds, as God can. We can and should work to create "spiritual windows" for faith conversations, but we can't force the developmental process to move forward by our sheer force of will. Cheri reminds us that some children will naturally progress at a slower or a faster pace that we're expecting or wanting when it comes to spiritual development. Because of this understanding, Cheri recommends a focus on "spiritual windows" for spiritual development.
Cheri recommends Jim Cymbala's book, "Fresh Faith." Jim reminds us that spiritual nurture is far more important than material things we can provide for our kids. I like the "coaching" approach which Cheri recommends for spiritual development: We should strive to "provide support, teaching, and encouragement in our childrens' lives" in much the same way as a coach seeks to help his/her players develop their abilities on a team.
Our goal as "spiritual coaches" of our children is to bring them to Jesus so they will know him and live the life He has prepared for them.
On page 18, Cheri makes a CRITICAL point which many parents don't understand today: The Church alone can't provide the spiritual development our children need. The church can help but this is a PARTNERSHIP between parents at home and our church communities.
Jesus promises in John 10:10 "Life in all its fullness." This is what we should want, pray for and work for with our children: Abundant life. Cheri encourages us to use her book as a "training manual" remembering spiritual development is a LONG process which takes time. We need to become empowered as parents to recognize that WE DO have "the ability to influence, nurture, and shape" our children's spiritual development. This is an important and special role which God has given to use as parents, and we should take this responsibility seriously.
If you have any questions, comments or thoughts about these ideas, please chime in with a comment on this or other posts you find on this site.
May God richly bless you and your family this week as together we seek to follow Him and show the love of Jesus to everyone we meet.

Mueller and Rosenstein show they won't bend to threats from Trump and his allies
ByEric Lutz
President Donald Trump and his allies on Capitol Hill have long shown a willingness to attack both the FBI and Department of Justice figures investigating him and his campaign, repeatedly blasting the Russia probe as a politically motivated "witch hunt."
But a pair of reports Tuesday suggested federal law enforcement officials are just as wiling to fight on the matter, and the heightened rhetoric may now set up a showdown between special counsel Robert Mueller and the president's legal team.
On Monday it was reported that conservatives on the House Freedom Caucus drafted articles of impeachment against Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who has been overseeing the Russia investigation since Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from matters related to the probe in early 2017.
Rosenstein, whose job security has long been speculated amid threats from Trump, responded during an appearance at Washington D.C.'s Newseum Tuesday that the Republican threats amounted to extortion.
"There are people who have been making threats, privately and publicly, against me for quite some time," Rosenstein said. "And I think they should understand by now [that] the Department of Justice is not going to be extorted."
On Tuesday night, the Washington Post reported Mueller, who Trump has directly attacked several times in recent weeks, had threatened to subpoena the president back in March if he refused to testify as part of his probe. This is the first-known subpoena threat Mueller issued against the president, and the episode apparently led to disputes within Trump's legal team and the resignation of Trump attorney John Dowd on March 22.
This posturing by Rosenstein and Mueller suggests top law enforcement officials are not bending to the threats from Trump. The president again went on the attack Tuesday, tweeting that "there was no Collusion (it is a Hoax) and there is no Obstruction of Justice (that is a setup & trap)."
The latest Trump outburst came on the heels of a New York Times report on the questions Mueller is seeking to ask him in a possible interview. The dozens of questions, derived from a list compiled by Trump's legal team and apparently leaked to the Times via a third party, delve into the president's role in key episodes related to his campaign's possible collusion with Russia in 2016 as well as potential obstruction of justice on his part.
Trump on Tuesday said it was "disgraceful" that the questions were leaked. On Wednesday, he tweeted a quote from Joseph diGenova — the former United States attorney he hired in March but ultimately did not bring on because of "conflicts" — that described the questions as "an intrusion into the President's Article 2 powers under the Constitution to fire any Executive Branch Employee."
Trump's legal team, now under the leadership of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, has been negotiating with Mueller about the possibility of an interview with the president.
Trump had been waffling publicly as to whether he'd agree to participate or not, but he reportedly became less willing to do so after the FBI raided the office and residence of his long-time personal attorney and fixer Michael Cohen as part of a separate probe.
That raid, conducted under referral from Mueller and signed off by Rosenstein, touched off a new round of concern that the president would seek to kneecap Mueller by firing Rosenstein or attempting to dismiss the special counsel directly.
In response, the Senate Judiciary Committee in late April passed a bipartisan bill to protect the special counsel from the president; all the panel's Democrats and four Republicans voted to advance the legislation to the full Senate. It's destined to fail there, but it sends a message to the White House that any attempts to undermine the FBI probe could come with political consequences.
The Freedom Caucus' articles of impeachment against Rosenstein — also extremely unlikely to gain a foothold in Congress — seem to be something of a retort to that Senate Judiciary bill, a political document designed to cover Trump in his battle with the FBI and DOJ.
That battle could get uglier in the coming weeks.
CNN reports Trump appears increasingly unlikely to voluntarily testify before the special counsel's team, which could trigger Mueller to compel the president to interview. That, according to CNN, could lead Trump's legal team to challenge the subpoena in court.
The situation underscores the complexity of the Russia investigation in its advanced stage, and it shows that Rosenstein and Mueller are standing firm.
"We're going to do what's required by the rule of law," Rosenstein said Tuesday. "Any kind of threats that anybody makes are not going to affect how we're going to do our job."

About Mrs. Leslie
By CaveGirl,
May 13, 2016 in General Discussions
CaveGirl
If you like the amazing actor Robert Ryan, don't miss tonight's showing of the film "About Mrs. Leslie" from 1954 with the also incredible Shirley Booth.
As a wonderful dramatic actress, whose talents go way beyond those comedic ones exhibited in the tv show "Hazel", this movie is so much more than the IMDB synopsis which reads:
"A rooming house landlady recalls her past in flashbacks."
Seeing Robert Ryan in a part like this, makes one wish he had more opportunities in similar modes.
Besides the very insightful and moving story as directed by Daniel Mann the film also has a supporting cast which includes great character stars like James Bell, Harry Morgan, Philip Ober, Virginia Brissac, Ray Teal, Ellen Corby, Kasey Rogers, Maidie Norman, Ian Wolfe, Joan Shawlee, Percy Helton, Amanda Blake, Mabel Albertson, Nana Bryant, Jerry Paris and even Superman's Jimmy Olson, aka Jack Larson! Even if you don't know all their names, you will recognize them when you see them I bet.
I was only lucky enough to see this movie once, with commercial interruptions but it still sticks in my brain, so I'm really looking forward to tonite's TCM presentation.
Don't thank me now, thank me after you see the film!

I have this set to record in case I can't watch it as it airs.
Yes, you will be very sorry if you don't get to see this film, CF since Ryan is so fetching in it and Booth her usual heartwarming and delightful self.

It's worth noting that for anyone who misses tonight's airing of ABOUT MRS. LESLIE, the film will be repeating on TCM at 8:00 on July 11.

I agree with CaveGirl - this is a memorable film and should not be missed. Unusual pairing of actors, but both are great. FYI this film can also be viewed on Amazon Prime.
midnight08
Thanks for the reminder. I missed the first 30 minutes of the film and forgot to record it.
It's a very sentimental, touching and poignant film. Although Robert Ryan and Shirley Booth make
a very unlikely pair their amazing acting abilities make it work.
I watched this film from the beginning of the introduction and through to the end of the film and the concluding comments.
The movie made me cry.
It made me realize something that I think I always knew.
The great love of my life I met as a teenager. I was about to enter grade 7. He was about to enter grade 9. Our relationship began and ended before he married his girlfriend outside of friendship on his part . The reason why I have never found anyone else is that this man is a faithful husband and father who saw his wife through illness and is what you say - a good catch
For Mrs.Leslie, there was only Mr. Leslie or no one.
For me, it is one man or no one.
He is spoken for - for it is no one.
I would never have loved him if he were any other man.
I need to stop trying to find the right man.
I found him. He is in my past. We live in the same city.
I really liked this movie and I enjoyed reading everyone's commments. Booth and Ryan may have seemed an unlikely pair but they "clicked" and had chemistry. They played off each other really well. Nice to see a softer side to Robert Ryan. I loved how Shirley called him "Mr. Leslie Honey." Thanks, TCM.
JessieB
I absolutely agree with you. Thank you.

(hope i don't o-fend anyone with this.)
i have access to a TV with DVR and- as I have mentioned before- I do not know how to use it. I am, at heart, an artistic, passionate "left brain" individual, and technology is my "trigger." i don't handle the needlessly baroque and esoteric "conveniences" of the modern age very well at all.
it was my full intent to stay up last night to catch MRS. LESLIE, but I conked out halfway thru BILLY BUDD and woke up about an hour or so into it. Still, I watched a good bit and just thought I'd offer up my (worthless) opinion on what I saw.
I am always getting into trouble with folks here because I cannot stand LITTLE SHEBA and consider Booth's Best Actress win one of the biggest wastes in Academy History....and that's not anything against Shirley- although I do not like her in the film- I think she would have had great potential as a second lead, character or supporting actress (along the lines of Ethel Barrymoore) had she NOT won AS A LEAD for her VERY FIRST FILM, that put her in a very difficult spot because she was not a conventional HOLLYWOOD "type" and had roots in the theatuh (and back then, if you won as a lead actor or actress, it was pretty much expected you would not do supporting roles- oh how different things were back then)
. I've also seen THE MATCHMAKER and was unimpressed- but still, I am surprised by how devoted her fans are after all this time when she only made something like four feature films (has any other Lead acting winner EVER appeared in fewer movies?)
the Booth I saw in the little bit of MRS. LESLIE last nite was a different Booth- restrained, honest, genuine- all the things that her bombastic Lola in LITTLE SHEBA is not. I only saw a little of her and Robert Ryan together, but they seemed to click to some degree. combined with TENDER COMRADE (which has a very similar role for Ryan)- I really enjoyed seeing his softer side.
most interesting about what little I saw of MRS. LESLIE though was the direction of DANIEL MANN- who directed Shirley in LITTLE SHEBA and HOT SPELL.) it was almost modernistic in its minimalism- not lot of incidental music, not a lot of "sweep" to the visuals, a lot of restraint all the way around: an interesting (and effective) contrast to the HIGH MELODRAMA any number of directors like mITCHELL leison or Douglas Sirk would've given it.
will mos def check it out again when it airs at 8:00 pm in June (July?)...and sorry for offering my 2 cents on a film that i only saw 20 minutes or so of, but you know me and my opinions, i'm never shy about them.
The great love of my life I met as a teenager. I was about to enter grade 7. He was about to enter grade 9. Our relationship began and ended before he married his girlfriend outside of friendship on his part . The reason why I have never found anyone else is that this mam is a faithful husband and father who saw his wife through illness and is what you say - a good catch
For Mrs.Leslie, there was only Mrs. Leslie or no one.
It's a heartjerker for sure, CF!
Being the blase person I am, I shall not be as revealing and honest as you about my emotions watching this film.
I do think they could have put on Robert Ryan's tombstone though, Mrs. Leslie's comment about him when they meet at the lounge where she sings "I've met many guys, but few men!"
Lorna, I think it is great that you feel free enough to give your true opinion about something without hedging your bets.
I think everyone has such perceptions about certain actors or actresses that go beyond what is perhaps on the screen.
For me, Shirley Booth is an acquired taste. When the movie started, I was thinking that again, just like Mary Astor in TMF, why oh why did they always give poor old Shirley such horrendous hairdos. Again it is an old lady hairdo and if Marlene Dietrich had been onset giving Shirley advice, she would have been wearing a much more appealing do for sure but I digress. In conventional terms, she is not a beauty but as time progresses in a film like AML, I think one begins to see what Robert Ryan is perceiving in her and she becomes much more appealing than on first glance. In fact, if one recalls when she first approaches him in the lounge, while singing her little ditty he is a bit taken aback and not attracted at all, and recoils.
In CBLS, she plays a bit of a blowsy, slatternly appearing woman, though the underneath character is not quite so rough. The one in that film who seemed miscast to me was always Lancaster. Shirley is very naive in that film, so in AML you see a much more adult and savvy woman, which to her credit Booth could convey.
She and Ryan make a totally odd couple at first glance, but their camaraderie and simpatico begins to show as the film progresses.
Again though as a stage actress, I think there is more illusion that can be given a character which is belied on film, due to giant close-ups and the such. So one's allure on stage might not be as easily transferable on film.
Even if you hate it when you watch next time, be sure to give us your thoughts which I always enjoy reading.
Don't feel bad Lorna. I too, "conked out" halfway through BILLY BUDD, although not last night, but just about ANY time I try to watch it, as it never really did hold my interest. I only tried because I thought it interesting to learn that Peter Ustinov, an actor I liked a long time, ever did any directing. But knowing I'd likely zonk out again, passed it up last night. After not wishing to see the Detroit Tigers embarrass themselves again, I opted another viewing of MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON on PBS, and my wife admitted she never saw it all the way through before, so........
As an old HAZEL freak( THANKS ANTENNA TV , for the reruns!), I was fascinated by the MRS. LESLIE movie when I first saw it because it's when I FIRST learned that "Hazel used to make MOVIES!" Never knew that before, as the first time I SAW the movie was when I was about 12 or so, and it was on TV one night. HAZEL was still on TV at that time, and I would be 15 when it finally ended it's run. And I'm still a fan of SHIRLEY BOOTH. Maybe not the FINEST actress, but it's a sort of sentimental thing with me.
I agree ;
Lorna, please let us know what you think of the movie if you ever get to see about Mrs. Leslie.
Shirley Booth is indeed an acquitted taste.
In my case, it took a major dose of that whole "suspension of belief" stuff to think that Shirley's character who seemed pretty darn "street smart" would almost immediately agree to such an arrangement of flying all the way across the country to be with him and regardless the type of "arrangement" made, and after just her first meeting with Ryan's character.
(...and especially because Ryan's character seemed pretty darn creepy to me at first...nope, not "mysterious" but just kind'a "creepy")
Dargo - maybe that is because of the roles Ryan usually played?
Remember the nastiness she got from her employer who never bothered to ask her if, for some reason, she had to go visit a dying relative.
That is when she changed her mind.
And remember the introduction Stowe made where she said that because of the code the "affair" was chaste. But the ending of the film - I'll try not to spoil it - would not have been shot the way it was and take part in that office if it was not an actual affair.
Yeah CF, good point. It DID cross my mind that the reason I got those "creepy vibes" from Ryan in this thing WAS because of his many other roles in which he DOES play one creepy kind'a dude.
And yeah, OF COURSE I remember Madeleine Stowe saying that, and because I hang onto EVERY word that articulate and GORGEOUS woman with that mellifluous voice of hers says in these intros!!!
(...BOY, do I hope she becomes Osborne's permanent replacement when he decides to hang it up for good)
kingrat
Concerning BILLY BUDD, which was mentioned below in the thread: great story, very well cast with Robert Ryan, Terence Stamp, and Peter Ustinov, but alas, Peter Ustinov is not a good director. As in clueless. If you ever see LADY L, you may wonder, "How bad can any movie with Paul Newman and Sophia Loren be?" Answer: really, really bad. Ustinov doesn't understand film pacing, among other things. Actors just saying their lines is not enough.
We had a power outage that wiped out the first half of ABOUT MRS. LESLIE, but the movie will be shown again in July, and I did get to watch the rest of the movie, which I had seen on TV long ago. It was as good as remembered, with Shirley Booth getting to the heart of her character. I believe that when, on the plane to California, Booth and Ryan take hands, that marks the transition to a fully consummated affair, though the movie can never be explicit about this.
I feel sorry for BILLY BUDD, because- I mean, it's basically MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY- I mean, we could quibble on specifics, but y'know: c'mon, tangerines and oranges here, people.
And it came out in 1962, the same year that the BIG (and awful) MGM Remake of MUTINY came out, and I have to imagine that film DOMINATED the press, box office, public interest and managed to at least eke a pity vote for Best Picture at the (galling) expense of THE MIRACLE WORKER...and for all its faults, BILLY BUDD is a HELL OF A LOT BETTER than the Brando-Howard remake.
In the danger of sounding like a broken record here, I love Billy Budd and how Stowe talked about Robert Ryan on purpose put a wedge between himself and Stamp to help their performances. Stamp did not realize this until after the shooting. Stamp had only made one film and Ryan was a pro and knew that if they were friendly off camera it might hurt their performances.
Dargo, you are such a naive and innocent darling and this is what I like about you!
Why I had almost exactly the same offer from a guy I met at a party, who was a government contractor, to accompany him on a trip to LA for a couple weeks, after talking to him for like ten minutes. Men do things like this all the time and many women accept. My problem was that instead of being Robert Ryan-like, he was more Jeff Chandler-like and all I could think of was how they said Jeff Chandler had to have his whole body shaved for his movie roles and I'm not into back hair.
Yes, that prevented me from taking the bait, and besides I thought the guy was really quite boring and he did not even know Civil War facts to boot and did not get my joke when I was asked if I had children, when I said "None that I knew of...".
Did I mention he had also been an engineer for like NASA or something. Oh, he did say of course we would have separate accommodations too, just like good old Robert gave Shirley.
I would have told Lonnie Anderson also not to meet up with Burt Reynolds when he sent a plane to take her to Florida for the first time.
WAIT now, CG! I mention the thing about Shirley's character almost IMMEDIATELY fallin' for Ryan's character's line...and I'M "naive and innocent"???!!!
You DO realize you now owe comedienne and comedy writer Carol Leifer a royalty check after THAT one, now doncha?!!!
Don't hid your naivete, dear boy!
It is very charming, making you just like Gary Cooper in that Stanwyck film.
I envision you as Ryan O'Neal with glasses in "What's Up, Doc?"
Am I close?
Okay, okay...I will pay Leifer a few bucks if it makes you happy.
Not unless you can recall James Coburn in some kind of nerdy role, CG.
(...I thought I've mentioned to you that more than few people over the years have commented upon my resemblance to him...voice and all)
Oh, this must have been before I joined Dargo.
I would have remembered you saying that you resembled one of my favourite actors.

another room! I left my suit case there because I didn't want to take any chances on bringing those nasty bugs home. The hotel manager gave me quarters to wash all my clothes and also gave us garbage bags to put our clothes in. They gave us free breakfast, and took off our parking charge and are supposed to send us a voucher for 3 nights free to stay there in the future, but of course have not seen them in the mail yet. This has scared me to death to ever want to stay at any hotel in the future! A Weekend away, wind up being a nightmare!
My husband and I stayed here from Friday, Nov. 2, 2012 to Sunday, Nov. 4. I discovered bites on my calves this week. This is terrible and overwhelming, having now to rip my house apart to eradicate, not to mention the EXPENSE!!
I stayed in Rosen Shingle Creek from Oct. 29 to Nov. 1, 2012. On Oct. 31 Morning, I noticed many small rashes on my left arm. They are very itching. I was not quite sure if they are bed bug bites. I just told my friend I might get bed bug bites, but did not tell the hotel. After I came home, I got more bites! So I am sure I take the bugs to my home. I washed all cloth and bed sheet today (Nov. 3), and hope to get a good sleep tonight.
I found and took a photo of a bed bug in my room. Fortunately I had not gone to sleep yet. Management moved me to another room. Time to check this room.

Q: How to say that one person shouts after another person? Does it sound normal in English to say that a person shouted/cried/yelled after another person, as in:
Jim packed up quickly and walked away in ignorance and she shouted after him that he must never come back again.
Would this sentence be valid in English? And what would you suggest if it wouldn't?
Are there any idioms for this?
This might be a very silly question, I just can't find an example of it on the Internet and can't recall if I have ever heard it in movies. But it sounds ok, given the way "after him/her" is used, say as in "After him! (go after someone).

A: I would write:

Jim packed up quickly and walked away in ignorance and she shouted at him that he must never come back again.

at because she shouted in the direction of Jim.
In another context, you could use after:

Jim packed up quickly and walked away in ignorance and she ran after him because she wanted him to stay.

The Dave Lloyd Mega Challenge, the UK's toughest cyclosportive, will be run on Sunday 20 June over a slightly easier route than in its first two years.
Last year's 150-mile Mega route has been toned down to a more manageable but still challenging 118 miles with 4,100m of climbing. It still starts in the North Wales town of Ruthin and features the climbs of the Shelf, Horseshoe Pass, World's End, Moel Arthur, Peniel, Lake Vrynwy and the Stingers.
But this year riders will bypass Mold and will also not have to tackle the hard side of the Bwlch-y-Groes. Instead, they will climb the easier side directly up from Lake Bala. There's still a sting in the tail, however. Instead of ending with five miles of downhill to Ruthin, this year's finish will be at the top of the Bwlch Pen Barras, a steep climb that overlooks Ruthin. Seasoned Dave Lloyd riders will remember it as the first climb of the 2008 edition.
For those not interested in the full 118 miles, there's also a 97-mile Midi route, which misses the Bwlch-y-Groes and Lake Vrynwy climbs, and a 50-mile Mini route that takes in four main climbs with a total of 1,300m of climbing.
For full details of the event, visit www.davelloydmegachallenge.com.

The first step to growth: Reject pseudo-economics
Murray Rothbard, economist and political philosopher, wrote in an essay that there is nothing wrong with being ignorant of economics, given the science's specialised and often complex nature. However, Rothbard noted, "it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance."
In a country facing dire economic prospects like South Africa, it is always important to return to basic principles. For this, Occam's Razor – the simplest explanation is usually correct – is a useful rule of thumb, but it is one that has long been abandoned. Nowadays it appears that there is only one accepted 'economic' theory: government intervention will solve the problem.
This nation-wide notion has come about after years of us absorbing frequently-sounded mantra and legitimising pseudo-economics. Our economic growth and stability have suffered consequently.
For example, a dominant meme is that workers are being 'exploited' by employers. This is accepted as a truism without further contemplation.
Marxists believe in the so-called "labour" and "surplus" theories of value. Taken together, these theories dictate that the value of a product is determined by the labour of the producer (the worker), yet the capitalist pays the worker only a subsistence wage. The difference between the "real" value of the product and the wage the worker earns is "surplus" value, which the capitalist keeps for himself. In other words, workers are not paid their fair share and their greedy capitalist bosses keep the bulk of the loot – and thus exploitation is taking place.
These Marxist theories are false – objectively so – and no sincere economist, perhaps excluding some academic economists, would say otherwise. Value is assuredly not determined by the labour put into a product. An individual may spend a month assembling a rickety chair, yet it is the stable, mass-produced chair that will fetch a higher price on the market. Consumers pay for the product they believe is worth their money, regardless of how much labour effort was put into the production. Furthermore, labour often plays a small role in determining the price of a good or service, with the cost of machinery, overheads, and management also playing a decisive role.
This is based on the principle of value subjectivity, which is illustrated well by the 'water in the desert' scenario. If someone who has been stranded in the desert for days comes across two large containers, one containing water and the other blocks of gold, which is more valuable? In most cases (but this is not guaranteed, due to the subjectivity of value), the man in the desert will choose to carry the water with him. Gold is not objectively more valuable than water, as value is in the eye of the beholder.
The "labour" and "surplus" theories of value are drops in an ocean of pseudo-economic fallacies. Another fallacy is the idea that public works programmes create employment, a popular notion from Apartheid days.
The idea of paying people with their own tax money should elicit only scepticism. What happens is that competitive private sector contractors who would have been paid with earned money to undertake the "public" works project and employ workers, are robbed of that opportunity and tax funds are extorted from taxpayers to fund something government need not be directly involved with.
Nationalisation also makes a consistent appearance in South African pseudo-economics, right from the nineteenth century railways to the present. It is also the pet proposal of the new rock-star of left wing "economics", Chris Malikane. But nationalisation has consistently produced detrimental results.
At best, once a company or industry is nationalised, it is marked by inefficiency and a distinct lack of respect for consumers (think Canada's national health service queues, ditto South Africa's Post Office), and, at worst, a complete collapse of the sector and destruction of the economy (think Zimbabwe's mines and the Soviet Union's agriculture). Privatisation, on the other hand, has produced more positive if inconsistent results, depending on how it is implemented.
When privatisation is done in a non-corrupt fashion whereby cronies do not simply replace their government friends, it leads to efficiency. If privatisation is merely a transfer from the formal to the informal political class – with a dash of monopolistic protection – inefficiency ensues. But bad privatisation is still preferable to nationalisation, as these companies become accountable to market forces, and will surely go bankrupt if they continue to perform as they did under state control.
South Africans now know that "white monopoly capital" was a phantom threat concocted by the political class to draw attention away from the failures of government and its private sector associates. Why we continue to dance to the tune of this self-evidently false narrative boggles the mind. But we started dancing to the tune of false economics long before white monopoly capital burst onto the scene, and this actively contributes to slowed economic growth, and worsening destitution.
Rejecting nonsensical pseudo-economics is not going to put South Africa on the freeway to growth and prosperity, but it is certainly a necessary departure point.

Visit Milan
Nation: U.S.A.
Directed by Raoul Peck
Main cast: Samuel L. Jackson, James Baldwin, Martin Luther King
Language: Original English version with Italian subtitles, Italian distribution by Wanted Cinema
Version: DCP
In I Am Not Your Negro director Raoul Peck re-imagines and completes Remember this House, the unfinished work of the civil rights activist of African-American people James Baldwin. Using fragments and quotations from the original book, the documentary, narrated by the voice of actor Samuel L. Jackson, explores the history of racism in the United States through Baldwin's reminiscences of civil rights leaders Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King, Jr, as well as his personal observations of American history.
The film was nominated for an Oscar for Best Documentary in 2017 and won in the same category at the 2018 BAFTAs. Raoul Peck, Haitian director, former minister of culture in his country, finds in James Baldwin a cultural reference to be able to connect the identity of the modern history of the United States to his own painful and bloody legacy, slavery. For the director: "James Baldwin has never finished Remember this House and the ambition of this film is to partially fill this void".

Q: Xamarin mSYM hashes don't match with exception stack trace hashes I'm attempting to use the mono-symbolicate tool (indirectly via this cool helper service) to retrieve the line numbers in my release build exception stack traces (which log to HockeyApp.)
I'm pretty sure my release build config has the proper settings for generating the necessary debug symbols:
<PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Release-Prod|AnyCPU' ">

    <ErrorReport>prompt</ErrorReport>

Below is an example exception stack trace, for the release build 349. The code lines relevant to my application have a hash of d69074b01bdc4aee9b338c440e2a3b69. Note that I added spaces around the hashes, otherwise SO is hiding them.

Release build 349 was archived on August 16, and was the only build archived on that date. (The warning tooltip says that debugging is enabled.)

When I go to the archive folder for this build, and drill down to the mSYM folders, there is no hash folder that matches d69074b01bdc4aee9b338c440e2a3b69.

Due to there not being a matching folder, mono-symbolicate fails to populate the line numbers in the exception stack trace. The question is, why don't the hash folders match up with the hashes in the exception stack trace??
