"In this film version of Clifford Odets' play, Jack Palance plays big-time movie star Charlie Castle, who refuses to sign a binding, $3000 per week contract with mogul Rod Steiger. Steiger tries to blackmail Palance into re-signing by revealing that Palance was behind the wheel during a hit-and-run accident."
From Rotten Tomatoes
"The original trailer in high definition of the big knife directed by Robert Aldrich and starring Jack Palance, Ida Lupino, Wendell Corey, Jean Hagen and Rod Steiger."

I saw this movie last night ( the TCM version with Ben Mankiewicz ) in preparation for this post ( to give you and idea what we do for our readers at this blog ) and this movie was already one of my favorite movies going in, even though it had three years since I scene it last and it's not just one of my favorite movies now, but I love the movie even more.

Words like great and perfection ( or if you prefer, awesome ) get thrown around a lot and overused a lot, but when I think of great or even perfect movie I think of movies like this. Think about it: great cast when you're talking about Jack Palance one of the best Hollywood toughmen ever, as well as someone with a real dramatic flare and quick wit. Ida Lupino, not just one of the best actresses of the World War II generation regardless of genre, but one of the best ever and a helluva of a director and one of the first successful female directors ever. Hollywood Hall of Famers like Shelley Winters, and Jean Hagen, playing supportive roles. You're talking about an all-star team here.
If Jack and Ida aren't enough for you as far as leads, how about Rod Steiger and Wendell Corry. Steiger to me is sort of the Al Pacino of his generation where he can make small, almost seem unimportant roles and lines look like the best roles that we ever given and lines that were ever written, just because of his delivery. And also like Pacino he can make serious roles and lines seem very funny and have you laughing with him when you're not supposed to, because of his comedic timing, improvisation, and dramatic ability. Wendell Corry as Stanley Hoff's chief counsel, is simply one of the best character actors ever: like the great role player on a great basketball team, give him an assignment and he knocks it out of the park, regardless of what it is.
Shelley Winters, essentially plays herself in the movie: the big mouth Hollywood actress who knows too much about too many important people, who is frustrated with her studio bosses, who is as adorable and funny as can be, that everyone wants to be around, just as long as they don't say anything that could hurt them. Jean Hagen, the beautiful, sexy, adorable slut of a wife who is unhappily married and wants to be involved with a Hollywood Stud like Charles Castle. ( Played by Jack Palance )
The marriage between Charlie Castle and his wife Marion of course is the main event: they both still are in love with each other, but are both very disappointed with each other. Marion, wants Charlie to leave the corrupt studio that is run by Stanley Hoff ( played by Rod Steiger ) and Charlie does too, but is not ready to make that break. And doesn't like his wife interfering into his career that has made them rich and economically secure.
The Big Knife, is that great and even perfect movie where you have the all-star cast, as well as writing, where the whole story makes sense. And like a great soap opera, it has all the great backstories and subplots behind it with people who have something on someone else and keep each other inline like Stanley keeping Charles inline by not telling the police about a certain accident that he was involved in several years before, just as long as Charles keeps working for him. And other back stories like that. One of the best movies to ever come out of Hollywood, The Big Knife.
Blogger on a whole host of subjects.

Super Typhoon 17W (Usagi) remains active…located about 324 NM south-southeast of Taipei, Taiwan (Sustained winds of 130 knots…with gusts to near 160 knots)
PDC Global Hazards Atlas displaying 3 hour precipitation accumulation, JTWC forecast positions, segments, error cones for Super Typhoon Usagi over the Philippine Sea
Super Typhoon 17W (Usagi) remains active in the northern Philippine Sea…located approximately 324 NM south-southeast of Taipan, Taiwan. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) reports that this system has tracked west-northwestward at 09 knots over the past six hours. Here's a satellite image of this very powerful super typhoon.
This most powerful typhoon of 2013 is in the process of passing between northern Philippines and southern Taiwan.
This Super Typhoon is a very large and dynamic storm, that according the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) is headed for a landfall near Hong Kong on September 22nd.
Usagi formed in the open waters of the Philippine Sea ~620 miles east of the Philippines back on September 16th. Usagi rapidly intensified and became a typhoon on September 18th, before attaining the Super Typhoon status yesterday (September 19th)…when it had estimated maximum sustained winds of 140 knots (161 mph).
The TRMM satellite captured an incredible picture of rainfall, as it passed over the Super Typhoon yesterday.
There are warnings in effect in Taiwan, the northern Philippines and China. Typhoon Warnings are up for Taiwan, especially for southeastern and southwestern areas, as Usagi is forecast to move south of that island. In the Philippines, warnings and watches were posted for the northern provinces of the Philippines…which include flash flooding, heavy rain, land slides and storm surges.
In China, the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) issued an orange alert. The CMA's website noted that Usagi is expected to move across Bashi Channel today, then enter northeastern South China Sea to approach coastal Guangdong Province.
Today, Usagi's maximum sustained winds dropped to 130 knots (149 mph)…down from the recent spectacular 140 knot level.
The latest Joint Typhoon Warning Center forecast projects that Usagi will pass north of the Philippines in the next couple days and then pass very close to the southern tip of Taiwan on September 21st. This path exposes southern Taiwan to the most dangerous part of this tropical cyclone.
PDC Global Hazards Atlas displaying 3 hour precipitation accumulation…and a tropical disturbance over the Western Pacific
Meanwhile, there's a tropical disturbance located approximately 195 NM north-northeast of Andersen AFB, Guam. This area of disturbed weather is currently moving northward at 05 knots. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center is giving this area a high chance of developing into a significant tropical cyclone within the next 12-24 hours. Surface winds are estimated to be 18-23 knots (21-27 mph).

War memorial. Erected 1919. Designer unknown.
DESCRIPTION: Located on the edge of St Mary the Virgin churchyard, next to the road between Hillborough and Reculver approximately 30m from the west end of the church. It is in the form of a tall (approximately 3m including plinth) stone of remembrance of rough-hewn granite set on a similarly rough-hewn rectangular granite plinth facing north-west across the road. On the graveyard side it is surrounded by a low semi-circular rustic stone wall. The tablet has a carved Latin cross directly below its slightly curved top and beneath this the inscription is placed on a large incised rectangular panel, again with a curved top. The inscription reads: THIS STONE / WAS ERECTED BY THE PARISHIONERS OF / RECULVER IN MEMORY OF THE MEN / CONNECTED WITH THIS PARISH / WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY / IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918 // GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS / THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE / FOR HIS FRIENDS. The names of the 18 Fallen in World War I are inscribed below divided between the navy and the army with surname, year of death and ship or regiment. Below, on the plinth beneath the inscription 1939 -1945 and again divided by service (Royal Navy, Merchant Navy, Royal Air Force, Airborne Division) are the surnames and year of death of the 9 Fallen from World War II. The inscriptions were renewed in 1994.
HISTORY: The memorial was erected in 1919. As was often the case, the names of those killed in World War II were later added to the names from World War I. The inscriptions were renewed in 1994.
* It has group value with the listed Church of Saint Mary The Virgin.
* This stone of remembrance has a robust simplicity heightened by its prominent location on the edge of the churchyard, looking out across fields towards the sea.

Q: Uploading an SQLite database to Google App engine? In my application I am saving user's data within an SQlite database on their device. I want to  add the functionality that whenever WIFI is available the contents of the Database can be uploaded on to Google App engine's Data Store.
I want to know if this is possible? And if so, how difficult is it to implement?

A: Of course it's possible to do that, even more, it's an easy stuff. All you have to do is to create a web application with google app engine, than your android application sends its data to GAE. You can do that using HttpURLConnection to send your data and java servlets to intercept your requests and save your data in datastore. You can also use web services.

A: On GAE side, you need to create backend API using Cloud Endpoints and generate client library for Android devices. Your backend will be responsible to receive the data and save it in datastore. Another alternative will be to use Cloud Datastore API Client Library to interact with datastore directly, but endpoints is a much better option.

Brisbane South PHN has been working in partnership with Metro South Health, Children's Health Queensland and Queensland Health to develop a new regional strategy that guides the way we commission mental health, suicide prevention, and alcohol and other drug treatment services.
As an outcome of the strategy Brisbane South PHN has worked with service providers, people with lived experience and their closest supporters, general community members and government agencies to co-design an improved service model for mental health, suicide prevention and alcohol and other drug treatment services and supports in Brisbane south.
One issue we've heard is that the system is fragmented and there doesn't seem to be a front door people can access to get the services they need. We also know that the system is strongly geared towards a crisis response and eligibility framework that isn't meeting people's needs.
sees people and their families informed, respected and supported at every stage of the journey.
Brisbane South PHN will recommission mental health, suicide prevention, and alcohol and other drug treatment services from July 2019 onwards. The recommissioning process will be based on a new service model that has been co-designed with people who have lived experience of mental health issues, including those who identify within priority population groups, people who have experience supporting someone through a mental health journey, service providers and General Practitioners (GPs).
Please find the most current information regarding the recommissioning effort via the links below.

Q: How do I compare rows of a table against all other rows of the table? I would like to create a script that takes the rows of a table which have a specific mathematical difference in their ASCII sum and to add the rows to a separate table, or even to flag a different field when they have that difference.
For instance, I am looking to find when the ASCII sum of word A and the ASCII sum of word B, both stored in rows of a table, have a difference of 63 or 31.
I could probably use a loop to select these rows, but SQL is not my greatest virtue.
ItemID | asciiSum |ProperDiff
-------|----------|----------
1      | 100      |
2      | 37       |
3      | 69       |
4      | 23       |
5      | 6        |
6      | 38       |

After running the code, the field ProperDiff will be updated to contain 'yes' for ItemID 1,2,3,5,6, since the AsciiSum for 1 and 2 (100-37) = 63 etc.

A: This will not be fast, but I think it does what you want:
update t
    set ProperDiff = 'yes'
    where exists (select 1
                  from t t2
                  where abs(t2.AsciiSum - t.AsciiSum) in (63, 31)
                 );

It should work okay on small tables.

Refrigeration-Engineer.com forums > REFRIGERATION DIVISIONS > Training > Company Background?
View Full Version : Company Background?
I recently started a thread 'Desperate to work' in hope of getting a foothold in the industry.
I've been offered a job today via 'cold calling' on a local company and I'm a little concerned as they interviewed me there and then for a total of five minutes before telling me i can start straight away.
The wage is less than i'm on now but i did expect this considering my lack of experience so thats not really an issue although I haven't been told anything else about the job re: pensions, holidays and healthcare due to my not wanting to change their mind!
With my current job i do get all of the above and i am concerned over whether i'm jumping from the frying pan into the fire.
Its a vicious circle as I want to work for a refrigeration company but don't want to be out of work in 3 months due to not checking out the company first.
My reason for starting this thread?
Assuming some members of this forum are familiar with this company would it be unfair to post the companies name in this thread to get feedback on them?
It's Refrigeration Concept Ltd of Humber Street Grimsby, anyone heard of/dealt with them?
Why don't you spend a pound and see how they stand financially?
Thanks for that, yea they seem to be ligitimate as a company but as you say they could be the employers from hell!
The other thing is you say that they're down as equipment renters and I'm now going to come across as very stupid as I 'cold called' them in a hurry whilst out working, I knew that they were there and had been meaning to call them for a couple of weeks but when i called today i didn't notice any company sign displaying a name just a couple of their vans outside which were sign written but when i got outside they'd gone so i never took the name.
I've searched for companies down the same road and thats where i came up with Refrigeration Concepts but I'm not entirely sure it's the same company.
Also the place is on the corner of Humber Street and Riby Street but again a search through both of these only came up with the above.
I will be going there tomorrow to establish this!
In the meantime does anyone know of a Refrigeration Company on the corner of Humber Street and Riby Street in Grimsby?
If anyone has anything they can share with me on this I would be more than grateful.
They seem more keen to get you on board than you are.
as for pensions,holidays,healthcare = non existant in my case.
Thanks for that krups, well I've gave my notice in today and I start with them in a months time after one of my college tutors called me to say he'd been asked for a reference.
He'd worked for them for the past seven years prior to teaching and couldn't speak more highly of them.
Frank I checked the link you gave me and there is an entry for REFRIGERATION ENGINEERING LIMITED It's probably not the same one but if they're not a limited company is that a bad thing? My tutor has worked all over Europe with them so I know they exist as a company but obviously I don't know personally how my time with them is going to be!
As i say I've now put my notice in and so all I can do is give it 110% and if I get nothing back then design a plan B!
Thanks to Frank, Argus and Krups for your feedback so far.
Thanks for your help folks and yes I'll let you know how I'm getting on.
All I can say is good luck to you, and I mean that in good faith mate. We all have to take a risk at some time in our lives so just go with the flow, I you have any question after starting then you can suss them out as well and stay if you still want to! Or if you think your better than the average engineer that you should never be out of a job in the trade.
Again good luck in you future.
My guess is that he has it well sussed out by now.
This tread is 2 years old.
woops sorry mate! did not read the small print. at my age, eye site goes as well!
I did exactly the same thing: looked at the month and not the year.
Why put this on a 2 year old post ?

THE PAJAMA GAME - YOUNG AT HEART PLAYERS
Tacoma Musical Playhouse
7116 6th Ave Tacoma, WA 98406
The Pajama Game was awarded the 1955 Tony for Best Musical and, over half of a century later, claimed the award for Best Revival of a Musical, proving that the story is truly timeless. With an energetic score by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross (Damn Yankees), The Pajama Game is brimming with songs and dances that have become musical theatre standards, including "Steam Heat" and "Hernando's Hideaway." Conditions at the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory are anything but peaceful as sparks fly between new superintendent, Sid Sorokin, and Babe Williams, leader of the union grievance committee. Their stormy relationship comes to a head when the workers strike for a 7 � cent pay increase, setting off not only a conflict between management and labor, but a battle of the sexes as well. Featuring plenty of fun and splashy production numbers, including a comic "dream ballet," The Pajama Game is filled with standout featured roles and a large ensemble, making it a perfect choice for high schools and community theatres. This perennial favorite is a surefire crowd-pleaser and a glowing example of solid, classic musical comedy.
The Young at Heart Players is an educational program for adults age 50 and above. They produce one to two musical performances a year at Tacoma Musical Playhouse. Many of the performers have been on stage before and some have never been on stage. They all long to participate and strive for a wonderful production open to the public.

Academic leftists tried to kill survey finding 96% of biologists admit life begins at fertilization
Eighty-five percent of the respondents called themselves 'pro-choice' and 92 percent of Americans were Democrats.
Mon Oct 21, 2019 - 4:51 pm EST
Follow Calvin
October 21, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – The biological beginning of human life has never been as controversial as the political battle over abortion would suggest, with research released this summer finding that even biologists who vote for and support legal abortion admit the procedure's victims were alive at the moment of fertilizaiton.
Steve Jacobs is a recent Ph.D graduate from the University of Chicago's Department of Comparative Human Development. For his dissertation, he chose to attempt a "Mixed Methods Mediation of the U.S. Abortion Debate," which sought to obtain a comprehensive understanding of both sides' answers to numerous factual and legal aspects of the issue.
Jacobs detailed his findings this month with an article in Quillette. He found that 82 percent of Americans recognize "when life begins" as important to understanding an issue, that 93 percent agree human life should be legally protected once it begins, and that 80 percent believe biologists were most qualified to answer when it begins. So he designed a survey and sent it to the biology departments of more than a thousand academic institutions worldwide.
"As the usable responses began to come in, I found that 5,337 biologists (96 percent) affirmed that a human's life begins at fertilization, with 240 (4 percent) rejecting that view," Jacobs wrote. "The majority of the sample identified as liberal (89 percent), pro-choice (85 percent) and non-religious (63 percent). In the case of Americans who expressed party preference, the majority identified as Democrats (92 percent)."
He added that, despite taking pains to phrase his questions technically and neutrally, he received a number of hostile responses from academics who dismissed the survey as "some stupid right to life thing," a "religious survey," and even a "studied fund (sic) by Trump and ku klux klan," with one respondent noting that he or she would "do my best to disseminate this info to make sure that none of my naïve colleagues fall into this trap."
Jacobs added that such views could be attributed to respondents experiencing "cognitive dissonance when they recognize that their view of a fetus as a human complicates their political convictions," fear that a straight answer "could lead to other people supporting abortion restrictions," and fear that acknowledging the science "may serve to estrange them from pro-choice liberals, on whom they might rely for social, emotional, or financial support."
Despite the hostility of abortion defenders, Jacobs' findings are consistent with long-settled biological criteria, reflected in numerous mainstream scientific and medical textbooks, which establishes that a living human being is created upon fertilization and is present throughout the entirety of pregnancy.
Many abortionists and pro-abortion activists and philosophers admit as much, granting preborn babies' humanity while either claiming a mother's "bodily autonomy" trumps a baby's rights or drawing a philosophical distinction between humans and persons (subjective value claims which pro-life philosophers have extensively challenged).
Jacobs also found that a majority of both "pro-life" and "pro-choice" Americans said they could accept a "comprehensive policy compromise that provides entitlements to pregnant women, improves the adoption process for parents, permits abortion in extreme circumstances, and restricts elective abortion after the first trimester," akin to the abortion regimes of various European countries.
Jacobs' work first garnered national attention this summer over an intermediary paper released ahead of the dissertation itself, which highlighted his findings related to when life begins. In July, he told the Daily Wire that he had to wade through intense opposition – not just from fellow students and survey respondents but from faculty, including his own thesis adviser – to conduct his research, including repeated halts to his work and accusations of ethics violations.
"Academics' fear of balanced research on the U.S. abortion debate cost me five years of my life," he said. "I spent those five years in anguish at the realization that representatives of one of the finest academic institutions were willing to sacrifice their principles of academic freedom to protect their ideology; that they were willing to jeopardize their reputation of open inquiry to kill research that explored the dogma surrounding abortion rights. Despite those bad actors, stewards of the UChicago tradition displayed courage in putting aside their biases, upholding their academic principles, and helping me conduct my research."

Congratulations to our AUFEIS Hockey Skater of the Month, Nhi Do! Nhi Do passed the US Figure Skating Senior Freestyle Test on February 28, 2018 to become a US Figure Skating Double Gold Medalist. This is the highest honor a figure skater can earn from US Figure Skating, qualifying her for Championship Level events. Nhi began her journey more than 10 years ago in the Learn to Skate program at what was then the Westminster Ice Palace. Along the way, Nhi has qualified for 2 National Championships, won 2 Sectional Medals, and 7 Regional Medals, 3 of them Gold! An Honor Student Senior at Pacifica High School in Garden Grove, Nhi continues to balance training before and after school at Westminster Ice with preparing to attend University. She is an inspiration to the young skaters with her amazing work habits! Nhi is coached by World and Olympic Team Coach Doug Chapman and World Champion, Olympic Silver Medalist Dianne DeLeeuw. Congratulations and keep up the good work Nhi!
Audrey started skating at the age of 4 at The Rinks in a Mommy and Me class at Westminster ICE. Since then she's been an ice-girl! Early on she joined synchro-skating for two seasons with The Rockers team and has made so many life-long friends from The Rinks. She's been competing in individual ice skating for 5 years now and remains a member of USFS, currently working on her Moves in the Field levels. When Audrey was 6 1/2 she tried Try Hockey for Free day at The Rinks and with some besties, started Learn to Play Hockey and Hockey Initiation. From there she joined The Rinks In House league, and moved on to join club hockey in 2017. This year marks her second season playing for the Jr. Ducks. She enjoys hanging out with her friends both on and off the ice. Her goals are to continue to train and improve her skating in both sports, balancing her love of school along the way.
CJ is a team player with great sportsmanship. CJ started playing just a few months ago in the Adult Learn to Play Hockey program and quickly progressed to join the Rookie League. After making a few friends, CJ went above and beyond with putting a group together to join the Ducks 25 hours of Hockey; with some help from last month's player of the month, Chip Lehman! The time, dedication, and effort to get a group of random hockey players out to skate for a once in a life time event at 2 in the morning is not only impressive but shows the dedication and passion he has for this sport. Congratulations, CJ!


The annual senior walk allows elementary school students to see the senior class in their cap and gowns.
A group of Carlsbad High School graduates revisited the beginning of their education as they walked through the halls of Joe Stanley Smith Elementary on Thursday.
For Misti Fernandez, principal at Joe Stanley Smith, this year's walk was special.
She worked at Early Childhood Education Center, when the graduates were just kindergartners.
"That is, to me, an incredible experience, to see that they stuck it out and they set goals. We feel like we gave them the foundation and they've made it," Fernandez said. "That is the beauty for me, that I got to see them as little ones. Some of them I recognized, some of them I didn't."
Fernandez hoped that seeing the graduates would motivate the younger students to continue their education.
Carlsbad High School graduation is scheduled for 8 p.m. Friday.

"Kabiyesi, the Deputy Governor has called you for a meeting twice and you refused to show up. I've deployed security personnel to Ago-Alaye and nobody will be allowed to move until you (Abodi) curb those perpetrating the atrocities. And if care is not taken it will be forever. We'll do it and nothing will happen. This is government.
"How? People will just wake up, destroy people's property and maim them, how? How do we do this?
"Even if the whole of Ondo State belongs to you (Abodi) we'll chase ourselves over what?
"Kabiyesi, I just felt with all reluctance to come here. Even when I called you on phone, you said the line was bad. I got information that meetings were called and you did not come, the Deputy Governor said it and others came. You claimed to be observing a traditional festival that forbids you from coming out. If that is true or not, I don't want to know about it, because I don't know about any festival that will not allow one to come out.
With all respect sir, with due respect that is why I had to call your son, Dayo who is close to me to call you to order.
"Today we're here, the government must be there to protect the lives and properties of the citizens, no matter where they are.
We (government) are not scared. We have said what we wanted to say. On the day of election, if you (Ikales) wish, don't give us your votes, no problem about that. And if we lose the election, we will go back to where we came from. We are not scared. What are we scared about? Nothing.

According to him, "There have been several attempts by Boko Haram to take over Monguno since the beginning of this year. But last night attack was deadly. We do not know the number of soldiers or Boko Haram that were killed, however, stray bullets killed five civilians and injured many others. It was too bad. Most of us are just returning from hiding. "
A source within the security operative in Monguno told our Correspondent that, the attackers came through Kuya village to attack soldiers' location at Charlie1 near the stadium.

Omoyele Sowore, summoner of the #RevolutionNow protest, spoke about his arrest by the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Revolution Now protests.
Sowore assured his followers that they would remain firm in their convictions and express their gratitude to the Nigerians for their support. He said his intention is to conduct a peaceful protest against the bad government in the country, also calling for the release of arrested protesters.
According to The Nation, he made his statement Monday when members of the "Take It Back Movement" visited him in the DSS facility where he was detained since his arrest on Saturday.
"I would like to assure everyone that I am being treated well and in very good health.
"I am pleased that the peaceful #RevolutionNow protests went ahead.
"However, knowledge of the sheer number of innocent Nigerians being arrested for exercising their civil rights bothers me.
"I join others in demanding for the immediate and unconditional release of all those arrested by the police on Monday," Sowore said.
Rachel Onamusi-Kpiasi, Director, Media and Communication of the movement, confirmed in a statement released on Monday evening that the group has been able to see Sowore and that he was in high spirits.

9. DSS arrests top Journalist over Facebook Post
The Department of Security Services (DSS) arrested a former editor of the Daily Trust newspaper, Ibrahim Dan-Halilu.
Latest Nigeria News understands that the journalist was arrested for allegedly supporting RevolutionNow activities in a Facebook post.
Monday night DSS agents broke into Dan-Halilu's residence in Rigachikun, Kaduna state, and took him at 2 am.
The former political director had supported the activities of the #RevolutionNow protesters in a Facebook post.
The DSS source, however, stated that the arrest of Dan-Halilu was not a serious problem.
"Contrary to the speculation going rounds, DSS just wants to get some necessary clarification from Mr Dan-Halilu on vital security issues. That's all and nothing more," he said.
Dan-Halilu's Facebook post reads:
"I feel I should share because it resonates with me. If resonates with you too, please share until all oppressed people of Nigeria get the message and domesticate it. This is #Not the Nigeria of My Dream.
"Somebody asked me why we need a revolution now, this was my reply: The aim of the revolution is to challenge the uncommon hardship why we have 16m children on the street; challenge why we have become the poverty capital of the world; challenge why we have 20 persons with corrupt cases as federal legislators and would-be Ministers
"We need to restructure the country. We need to put an end to trillions spent on electricity while we live in darkness and pay estimated bill for electricity and meters. Why do we have huge oil reserves but our refineries are dead and we are re-importing what we exported as crude oil? It is time to ask why those in government travel abroad for medical care when they have left our hospitals dilapidated; why they send their children to school abroad when our children learn under mango trees.

It's sort of like the first day of school over at the NovaCare Complex today.
Like many teams today, the Eagles are beginning Phase One of their offseason workout plan. While this is all voluntary, many Eagles will be reporting to the team facility, including backup quarterback Nate Sudfeld.
That shouldn't come as a big surprise. Sudfeld, 25, has barely played in the NFL and that second-round tender will pay him around $3 million to be Carson Wentz's backup in the 2019 season. Sudfeld was a sixth-round pick of the Redskins back in 2016, but has been with the Eagles since 2017 and has been on the 53-man roster since midway in that season.
The Eagles could have used an original-round tender on Sudfeld and paid him about $1 million less for this upcoming season, but that would have left open the possibility for another team to poach him. The Eagles again showed their commitment to the QB prospect by slapping that second-round tender on him, which pretty much tells other teams to back off. If another team wanted to sign Sudfeld to an offer sheet, the Eagles would have been able to match and if they couldn't, the team that signed him would have to give up a second-round pick to the Birds.

Not too long ago I was commissioned by LX Magazine to do a bridal fashion shoot. It was a great experience, partially because they don't normally do bridal work and run their artist spotlight "Behind the Lens" features infrequently. After having worked with LX before, the beautiful and talented Loni Hale recommended me, leading them to approach me about the project. The shoot they followed me through was a fun, all day affair of dresses, glamor, and feathers, and you can see the results in the images below. What you see are the actual spreads that were printed in the magazine. You'll also find a transcription of a the published interview, and after the spreads you can read parts of the interview that weren't included.
LX: The images have a very definite look and feel to them. Even if one didn't know you shot them all, it's readily evident the same photographer did. In other words, you have a clearly identifiable style. How did you develop it? How has it evolved since you began photographing?
Emily Gualdoni: I've always had this in me. Over the years I've just been fine tuning it. But, having said that, I've never been a very "technical" photographer. I do things intuitively, which I suppose gives me more of a distinct style.I want someone to look at my photography and see pieces of art without focusing on the elements of the image. I feel I've accomplished a successful shoot when someone can look and think; "Wow, that's just beautiful." and maybe not even be able to explain why. I've always found it fascinating when you look at an image and have to wonder if it's a painting or if it's a photograph. I incorporate this into my efforts first by creating beautiful lighting and then polishing the resulting photos with a clean—but light—edit.
LX: This work is quite striking. It's like the images are black and white—but in color. Did you see that before you did the shoot?
E.G.: Contrast was one of my main ideas when putting together this shoot. I really wanted the beautiful gowns to pop out, but while remaining very simple and elegant. I think it makes these photographs more fascinating when, at first glance, you think you're looking at some black and white photos. But then, when your eyes take in the skin and hair, you realize they are color photographs.
LX: Looking at your work, one can see your vision is reflective of haute couture. Is fashion the foundation of your entire photographic approach?
E.G.: I love coming up with a concept and gathering the right team around me to execute the vision and create a piece of art. I have a hard time expressing myself with words, but people can get to know me by just looking at my work. I like inspiring people with things they haven't seen before. Fashion photography interests me because you have control over the outcome. Instead of waiting for a moment to happen, you create it.
LX: How does that inform or affect your wedding work?
E.G.: I make my wedding clients feel beautiful, glamorous, confident and ideally like they have a little fashion model in them as well. It's their wedding day, they should experience it feeling exceptionally attractive. Within that, I also want to reflect their personalities. So while I try to glamorize the images as much as possible, I also make sure I capture the personalities of the subjects—along with the overall beauty and joyousness associated with the time.
LX: With that said, how do you unobtrusively capture a wedding day?
E.G.: When I'm photographing the couple or the wedding party for posed portraits, I relax everyone with humor. I let them see my dorky/goofy side. This humanizes the situation and loosens them up so rather than focusing on the camera, they relax and enjoy being in the moment. During the reception, I use my telephoto lens to photograph people from a distance so they don't realize it because people tend to get a bit nervous when they know they're being photographed. The act differently than they would normally. With these techniques, I can easily capture their love, fun and friendship. Meanwhile, they remain completely unaware I'm doing it.
LX: What is the theme you were after with this shoot? How did that drive the choices of wardrobe, lighting, makeup and etc?
We wanted a create an editorial/ commercial shoot that had elements of a fairy tale making it look like a piece of art rather than two models wearing gowns against a backdrop. We tried achieving this by using dramatic lighting, extravagant gowns, contoured makeup, flowing hair, a few added props, and models who could evoke emotion with their posing. Along with the fairy tale theme we wanted to incorporate the different cultural regions by using different Scandinavian and Mediterranean inspired gowns. We wanted to show that some of the styles of the gowns were more structured while others were more ethereal and flowy. We wanted simple, straight hair to not distract from the dresses but added a fan to the hair in some of them to go along with the ethereal/flowy feel.
LX: How are these images lit?
They were shot on a black muslin backdrop so the black would be as rich as possible and wouldn't reflect any kind of light. I used two very tall white boards on the left side to bounce a little light off from the strip box that was on the right side. They were positioned to maintain contrast. There was a strobe with barn doors placed behind the model on the left side to highlight the hair and create a nice separation between the model and backdrop. A beauty dish was overhead giving the overall face and upper body a dramatic and contoured effect. I used another strobe with an umbrella diffuser in the front aimed downwards to light up the details at the bottom of the dresses.
LX: Please describe in detail the process you went through to create these images. Walk me through from the very first conversation about the assignment through all of the moving parts of conceptualizing with your stylist, makeup, wardrobe, hair and crew.
Loni, the makeup artist originally contacted me about the project. She had previously worked with Jon on another project and once she heard that this one involved fashion/wedding photography she instantly thought of me. Typically the makeup artist usually doesn't have too much input into what the models will be wearing but Loni was inspired by a European fashion show on TV that highlighted different wedding gowns from various cultural regions. She approached me with this and the ideas started flowing. Loni got in contact with the wardrobe stylist and expressed her inspiration to her. I have always been intrigued by photos that have an element of fantasy to them. I did some research and was inspired by a few other editorials online and really enjoyed the dramatic contrast between the white gown and dark background. The feathers added in some of the photos made to look like petals just give it a little bit more of fantasy feel. We then all met in person and tossed our ideas around and picked out the models together that we felt suited the shoot. The wardrobe stylist then went to the bridal boutique and kept what we had talked about in mind and picked the dress out. We felt like an art director was unnecessary because between the three of us we had a pretty clear idea and direction of what we wanted.
LX: What did you see in these particular models that made them right for the shoot?
My team and I really wanted women with long hair to create a dramatic fantasy effect along with strong facial features. We also wanted one of the girls to look more Scandinavian with blond hair and fair skin and the other to look more exotic and Mediterranean with darker features.
LX: Describe your dream assignment.
I love highly conceptualized shoots where there are no rules or boundaries and you can let your imagination run wild. Working with a full team of artists who are talented and have the same vision is also very important so you can bounce ideas each other and feed off one another's energy. I would love to shoot a fashion editorial for Vogue and create not just a pretty picture but a visual masterpiece where every little detail was very well thought out and takes the viewer into another realm in their imagination. Creating visual fairy tales is my passion. Taking your vision and translating it to something that someone can physically hold and touch separates a true artist from an imposter.
LX: Your dad gave you your first camera…was he a photographer too? What did he shoot? How did he encourage your career choice aside from placing the camera in your hands?
My dad used to travel a lot overseas for fun and document his adventures. He really enjoyed taking pictures of the beautiful architecture and capturing the small moments with my mom. At home, my dad would photograph random subjects that he thought was interesting whether it was of their cat at the time, nature, landscapes or portraits. My dad actually received his masters in history but always found photography intriguing. Although photography was never his profession, he always kept his 35 mm readily available and once I expressed an interest in photography, he encouraged it and let me use it whenever I felt inspired. My parents have always been very emotionally supportive of my photography and has always encouraged me to follow my dreams. They always have and still take the time to listen to my excitement about every single shoot and view my work and give me constructive criticism. I have always known since second grade when I sat inside at recess to draw a photo that I wanted my life to be consumed with art. It wasn't until I had access to a camera that I knew I wanted photography specifically to be my life.
Here are some additional shots that didn't make it to the magazine.

Same waves, same pay: World Surf League announces historic move to close gender pay gap
Tarla Lambert September 6, 2018
The World Surf League announced an historic move today that it will close its gender pay gap once and for all.
The League announced that from next year onwards, female athletes will be paid the same prize money as their male counterparts across 180 global events. The decision will make the World Surf League the first and only US-based global sports league to take such a leap.
"The WSL is a progressive, forward-thinking organisation. I think this just re-underlines that," said WSL CEO Sophie Goldschmidt.
"It is an important statement, and it is celebrating what is happening in society. It is a movement that has been needed and our female athletes deserve it."
The World Surf League currently allocates prize money based on the number of competitors in any one event. Because there are still significantly more men competing professionally, women are at a persistent disadvantage.
This pay-system came up against sharp criticism early in the year when a viral photo of a Billabong Junior Surfing Event in South Africa showed a female surfer, Zoe Steyn, accepting a cheque with half the money of her male counterpart who stood beside her.
Goldschmidt stresses however, that WSL's decision to change the system is not a result of backlash from the photo.
"This is a natural next step for us. We always said it was a question of when and not if. It has always been a part of the conversation since the new ownership group took over in 2013," she said.
"Since I came on board we've had a focus on all aspects of the business, and this has been one. But that is not where it ends. Prize money is an important step, but there are still other things that we want to continue to invest in."
In correspondence with this decision, the WSL is also ramping up marketing activity highlighting the women's tour and is focused on boosting viewership. The League will also be honouring female surf legends through its Pioneers Program.
"We are rightly acknowledging and awarding these women for their amazing athletic achievements. For the next generation of surfers to feel that they are being fully compensated equally is inspiring," says Goldschmidt.
"Hopefully it will inspire more girls of tomorrow to want to become professional and get into surfing."

Texas Will Back US Airways/AMR Merger, Sources Say (Update 1)
US Airways and American will announce Tuesday that the Texas attorney general has withdrawn support for a lawsuit the opposing merger.
Ted Reed
Oct 1, 2013 1:39 PM EDT
Story updated to say that U.S. District Court judge denies Justice Department request for a stay in merger hearing.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (
TheStreet
) -- The U.S. Justice Department lost two battles Tuesday in its effort to prevent a merger between
( AAMRQ) and
(LCC)
The department lost the support of Greg Abbott, Texas attorney general, for its lawsuit opposing the merger, sources said. Also, a U.S. District Court judge denied the DOJ's effort to delay the scheduled Nov. 25 trial date.
The airlines and Abbott scheduled a joint announcement for 3 p.m. EDT at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. They promised "an important development related to the merger of the two airlines." Abbott will withdraw his support for the Justice Department lawsuit opposing the merger, sources said. He will appear with American CEO Tom Horton at the news conference.
Additionally, U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly quickly rejected the department's request to stay the case.
The Justice Department reacted quickly on Tuesday morning to the government shutdown, saying it needs more time to prepare for a U.S. District Court hearing on its lawsuit opposing the merger.
But in a hearing prior to the conference, Kollar-Kotelly "indicated she is aware of the merger expiration deadline of January 18, 2014 and will do her best to render a decision prior to that time," according to a newsletter for US Airways pilots issued by their union, the U.S. Airline Pilots Association.
The Justice Department had argued that the shutdown "is creating difficulties for the department to perform the functions necessary to support its litigation efforts and, accordingly, the department's policy is to seek a stay in all pending civil litigation."
In mid-afternoon trading US Airways shares were up 68 cents to $19.64.

When I was young(er), I opened a credit card account. This was when I lived in the United States and had a US checking account. I sent in my payments faithfully every month, more or less, and even had zero balance on it at several points.
Then I became a student, and the balance slowly went up, and up, and up, to where it is today: an authorized credit limit of $8180. It was maxed out more often than it wasn't, but I (almost) always managed to make payments on it. When I moved to France, it became a bit more difficult to send in the monthly payment, but eventually I started the same system I use for my student loan payments.
A little over a year ago, we got tired of the uncertainty of making payments. Oh, the monthly due date and minimum payment were always the same, but the payments weren't always promptly deducted from our checking account. We were also fed up with sending the credit card company lots of money, but never actually seeing the balance decrease.
So we decided to take out a loan to pay off the credit card. First of all, this simplified things immensely. We were making payments to a French bank, and they were automatically deducted from our French checking account. Second, it was much, much cheaper. We are now paying 5.89% interest, instead of the 22%+ that we were paying before. And third, we have ease of mind: we know that this loan will be finished in February 2011; we have no clue when the credit card would have been paid off.
As a side note, I've had the chance recently to go over my past credit card statements. There was recently a class action settlement and I'm entitled to some money. To get it, I have to give them the total amounts charged on my US credit cards abroad from 1996 to 2006, year by year. I've been looking at all my statements in amazement! What did I spend all this money on? A lot of Starbucks, books, clothes… some travel and more living expenses than I care to admit. The travel I will always remember, but the rest? Ephemeris.
I found your blog through a link on Frugal Homemaker Plus. I've enjoyed reading through your past posts.
I'm recently unemployed (and in debt) so it's good to read that there are other people in the same situation. I totally related to a lot of your comments because I have lots of debt from things that are probably now at the thrift store.

Add new variety to your lunchtime routine with these 10 wheat berry salad recipes.
Nutty, chewy, robust wheat berries work well in stews, stir-fries, and hearty salads. Cook as you would pasta, in a large pot of boiling water. Check for doneness after 30 minutes, but know they may take as long as an hour to reach desired tenderness. Drain when done. One cup uncooked yields about 2 cups cooked. Per cooked cup: 320 calories, 14g protein, 12g fiber.
First up is our Cherry, Chicken, and Pecan Wheat Berry Salad. What a fantastic combo! If you can't find fresh cherries, add ¼ cup boiling water to ¼ cup dried cherries. Let stand 10 minutes; drain and chop.
Be sure to seek out a sustainable type of tuna. We like Wild Planet's wild albacore tuna in extra-virgin olive oil; a 5-ounce can, once drained, gives you the correct amount here.
Thinly sliced cold-smoked salmon pairs perfectly with our refreshing, tangy dressing.
We were blown away by this intriguing mix of fresh, crunchy, and juicy produce with chewy wheat berries and creamy cheese.
Taking a cue from traditional tabbouleh, this dish uses lots of peak-season vegetables, tart lemon juice, and pungent fresh herbs. Serve with toasted pita wedges.
This colorful salad will be a bright addition to any table. It's light and flavorful, making it perfect for an alfresco dinner.
Bold flavors of both sweet and savory varieties make a statement in this salad chock-full of dried fruit.
This recipe is full of good-for-you nutrition — save leftovers for an easy lunch option.
This salad is all about crunch, with toasted walnuts, crisp apple, and celery. Save your celery leaves for a beautiful and delicious garnish.
