Mergers & acquisitions (M&A business transactions) are simply the transfer of assets, liabilities and ownership from one business entity to another. Businesses are complex on every level and as such, mergers & acquisitions can be equally intricate. Even a standard transaction– for example a private company looking to transfer an existing business to a newly created separate subsidiary– although a seemingly simple business transaction on its face, the above scenario is full of complexities. Our business attorneys in Chicago regularly provide legal counsel to seller's selling a business in Illinois and to buyer's purchasing a business in Illinois.
Mergers & acquisitions are the legal methods by which distinct corporations become one corporation, unified through shared assets. In spite of the popular phrasing of mergers & acquisitions, there is a subtle, yet important distinction between the two legal devices.
An acquisition occurs when one company absorbs the assets, debts, rights and liabilities of another one. An acquisition may also be thought of as a complete purchase of all the stocks and/or assets of another company. A merger, on the other hand, takes place when two distinct companies mutually agree to become a single business. The mutual agreement component of a merger is the primary distinction from an acquisition, which is predicated on a transactional behavior between two parties. Acquisitions by merger result in the surviving entity succeeding to all of the rights and obligations of the acquired entity.
Most acquisitions can be consummated either as an asset purchase or a stock purchase. Where an asset purchase transaction is favored, a variety of issues must be considered as the transaction is truly one of the sale of each of the individual assets of the business and an assumption of agreed upon liabilities. Conversely, where the transaction is structured as a stock purchase, by its very nature the acquisition results in a transfer of the ownership of the business entity itself (as a going concern), but the entity continues to own the same assets and have the same liabilities.
When determining whether to structure a business acquisition as a stock purchase or an asset purchase there are a number of advantages and disadvantages of each that will need to be weighed by the seller selling a business or the buyer purchasing a business. Our Chicago corporate attorneys have experience handling mergers and acquisitions and representing buyers and sellers alike. Contact our law firm to learn more about the legal process of selling or buying a business in Illinois.
For example, in an asset acquisition business transaction, the liabilities of the business from which the assets are being purchased generally do not follow the assets, except where successor liability is imposed. In a stock purchase business transaction, the buyer will inevitably take on unknown liabilities that may greatly reduce the value of stock. In the latter transaction, incorporating certain indemnification provisions can reduce the risk the buyer will assume somewhat, but only to the extent that the seller is able and willing to honor those indemnification obligations.
On the other hand, in an asset acquisition business transaction, assets need to be assigned, and often titles, deeds, commercial leases, customer and vendor business contracts, and the like, need to be transferred to the acquiring entity, which can add additional cost and expense. Further, more often than not, certain business licenses, registrations and certifications will not be able to be assigned and the acquiring entity will need to apply for such licenses, registrations and certifications independently, which can sometimes be a burdensome process. In a stock acquisition, title to the assets, including the company's business licenses, registrations, certifications, commercial leases and customer business contracts, will be maintained in the acquired entity, so generally no transfers will be needed.
Which Business Acquisition Structure is Best?
When determining whether to structure a business acquisition as a stock purchase or an asset purchase there are a number of advantages and disadvantages of each that will need to be weighed by the seller selling a business or the buyer purchasing a business.
Tax issues are not always the most important factor in determining whether to structure an acquisition as a stock purchase or an asset purchase. Other non-tax reasons generally are more determinative in deciding the appropriate acquisition structure. That said, when taxes are an important consideration, the buyer and seller generally consider the amount of the owner's net after-tax proceeds, the buyer's desire to assign a high basis to the assets for depreciation purposes, and any gain recognition by the company.
The seller's liabilities (also termed successor liability) connected with the business is usually the most important factor when deciding whether the acquisition will be structured as stock purchase or an asset purchase. In most transactions, the buyer has a heightened desire to avoid responsibility for the seller's liabilities. Every buyer's nightmare is that, after closing, an unknown or undisclosed and costly liability arises and attaches to the acquired business.
If an entity acquires the stock of another business, the transaction results only in a change of ownership of the acquired company and all of the obligations, liabilities in existence prior to the transaction remain with the acquired entity. While creative efforts by the buyer's attorneys can push back on the assumption of some of the seller's liabilities in this scenario, such as contractually excluding certain obligations, strengthening seller's representations and indemnification provisions, or providing that a certain amount be set aside in escrow, the buyer will still be left holding the bag at the end of the day.
Buyer's pursuing asset purchases, on the other hand, may avoid many of these seller liabilities by forming a new entity to acquire the assets to be transferred. In general, the liabilities of the business from which the assets are being acquired do not follow the assets. There is no substitute for throughout and thoughtful due diligence to identify the potential liabilities that may be transferred in an acquisition transaction.
It is important that all of the business contracts to which the company is a party be carefully reviewed to make certain the proposed transaction will not violate existing duties or obligations. Every business is party to a host of business contracts that affect its operations. From real estate leases to client contracts to employment agreements, companies obligate themselves to continuing relationships with third parties. In the acquisition context, these contractual relationships must be addressed to ensure the benefits of these business contracts are not lost, or that the seller is not in breach of these agreements as a result of the acquisition transaction.
When a buyer desires to take advantage of the target business' existing business contracts (such as customer contracts, vendor contracts, commercial leases, and insurance), intellectual property rights, permits, certifications or licenses (which may be unassignable), a stock purchase can be more attractive, because it avoids the need to assign each of the business contracts (and to get permission to assign the business contracts). On the other hand, a buyer contemplating an asset purchase will need to ensure that the business contracts are freely assignable or else it will need to obtain the consent of the third party bound to the contract.

Who Needs Fancy Pasta When You Have D.I.Y. Hamburger Helper?
It's silky. It's satisfying. And it contains no dubious ingredients. What's not to like?
By Amiel Stanek
Photo by Chelsie Craig, food styling by Kat Boytsova
Bon Appétit editor at large Amiel Stanek has spent years trying to help readers get dinner on the table as quickly and efficiently as possible. So when he gets to cook for himself, he likes to slow things down and be a little...extra. This is Not So Fast, a column dedicated to his favorite ingredient: time.
Say what you want about Hamburger Helper, with its dubiously long and unpronounceable ingredient list, but it is my suspicion that it is in many ways the best pasta dish that many Americans have ever had at home. This was certainly the case for me, for the first two decades of my life, anyway. Because the few times I enjoyed the iconic 1970s meal-in-a-box were probably the only times I experience macaroni and sauce together as one, gloriously unified, rather than a pot of Prego and bowl full of spaghetti as distinct and dissatisfying elements of a weeknight meal. Before I discovered the game-changing pleasure of the real Italian pasta protocol in my early twenties—that is, cooking noodles until al dente and allowing them to finish in a pan of sauce goosed with a splash of starchy pasta cooking water—there was Hamburger Helper. And it was mind-altering in its deliciousness. Could a lip-smacking dose of MSG contribute to the appeal? Surely. But I would argue that this lowly-seeming "meal solution" is so beloved because at its core it contains a sparkle of the divine: pasta swimming in a creamy, generously emulsified sauce.
And that sauce. Rich ground beef. Umami-packed tomatoes. The gentle tang of onion and other assorted aromatics. Ample quantities of melty dairy. I mean, what's not to like?! It's a slam dunk of a flavor profile, the basis of countless regional American skillet pasta favorites. American Chop Suey in the Northeast. American Goulash in the Midwest. Chili Mac in the Southwest. Each slightly different but comfortingly similar (and similarly comforting). Betty Crocker didn't invent it; she just put it in a box.
As with many convenience foods and church cookbook classics, an improved version—which is to say, more complexly flavored and perhaps a smidge more wholesome—is simply a matter of better ingredients and technique. I've been making my own version of a cheesy hamburger skillet pasta at home about once a month for the last year, and a little bit of extra care and attention to detail has, IMHO, made all the difference in the world without "elevating" the dish in an annoying or pretentious way; it just tastes more like itself. Taking the time to brown the ground beef so that it's actually brown adds a layer of complex meaty flavor. Sizzling out the tomato paste so that it's ruddy and caramelized creates depth and umami where there would otherwise be raw tinniness. Quality sharp cheddar (good brick stuff, nothing too crumbly or age-y) provides just the right amount of funk, with a handful of parm playing backup. And the sneaky additions of soy sauce and chopped pickled peppers add just enough umami and acidity to bring the whole beautiful thing into focus.
But more than anything else, it's building the dish as a restaurant cook would build any proper pasta dish that ups the ante. The cooked noodles (I prefer squiggly cavatappi, like elbow macaroni someone forgot to cut) go straight from their bath into that Dutch oven full of lovingly-cooked meat and aromatics, along with a healthy scoop of starchy, salty pasta cooking water. The cheese is incorporated slowly, a handful at a time, stirring all the while until a silky emulsified sauce appears like magic—"saucy-glossy" as BA is fond of saying. Served hot, ideally out of wide shallow bowls while binge-watching the newest season of Stranger Things, it's perversely satisfying and almost impossible to stop eating. (I have found that four people can easily polish off a recipe that should by all accounts serve six.)
At home, I've taken to calling the resulting dish Pasta alla Americaine—an appropriately fake-fancy moniker for what is just a gussied-up version of America's favorite noodle-meat-tomato-and-cheese dish. Call it Bougie Chili Mac. Call it Hamburger, Helped. Call it All-American Cheeseburger Pasta. But don't you dare call me late for dinner.
All-American Cheeseburger Pasta
Whether you know it as American Chop Suey, Chili Mac, American Goulash, or even D.I.Y. Hamburger Helper, this deeply flavorful, super-comforting pasta dish is greater than the sum of its humble parts. Taking the time to brown the ground beef well and cook out the tomato paste makes a huge difference. You'll notice that none of the fat gets drained off after the meat is seared, which is intentional—there's no other fat added here, so if you're using a leaner blend of ground beef, you may even need to add a knob of butter or a drizzle of olive oil to compensate.

Is there a major difference between the crash dumps in release and debug mode now that you have reverted the commit that disabled crash dumps in release?
The reason I ask this, is because I would like to support ArcEmu by submitting any crashes that occur, but when the server is built in debug, a crash can cause a message box to open asking whether to abort, retry or ignore. Whichever option you pick, it then logs the crash dump and shuts down (and starts back up with a auto-restarter). The issue with this is that the server hangs until a option is picked, which can cause long periods of downtime until I get on and respond to it.
If I am able to submit crash dumps in release mode then I can run the server normally without having to worry about possible downtime. However, if a release mode crash dump is not very useful then I will keep using debug mode.
In debug values are preserved and there are lots of checks so it crashes right where the problem is ( usually anyways ) so it's easier to track the issues down.
The reason why we re-enabled this is simply that we plan on having more official binary package releases and in a more orderly fashion, but we can't release debug builds, since you can only run that on a machine that has visual studio installed ( the debug libraries cannot be redistributed either technically or legally ), but we'd still like to be able to get at least some feedback about crashes, even if they are a lot harder ( if not impossible ) to sort out.
but when the server is built in debug, a crash can cause a message box to open asking whether to abort, retry or ignore.
Okay, thank you both for the reply.
Actually the new commit doesn't solve that problem.
Also no crash dump is created now.
can you post the last lines of the logs, so we get an idea of why it crashed?
You should also disable WER (Windows Error Reporting).
Windows error reporting is already disabled.
Will post last few log lines, but I have to wait for it to crash again. Will update this post when it does.
So it cancels out halfway through printing.
No crash dump is created since I applied that rev which removed the abort/retry/ignore message box. Though I'm guessing it's a Lua engine crash, since about 30 seconds before it frooze, all Lua scripts just stopped registering new functions.
also what's the behaviour of http://archive.msdn....DownloadId=9679 sample?
which Visual Studio version are you using?
I'm using Visual C++ Studio 2010 Express.
I have applied the patch and am awaiting for the server to crash again.
I linked that project to see if it would hang with the "has stopped responding" error message.
If used with s (/EHsc), catches C++ exceptions only and tells the compiler to assume that extern C functions never throw a C++ exception. /EHca is equivalent to /EHa.
Now, do we know any extern C function? OFC!!!
// we're C++, and LUA is C, so the compiler needs to know to use C function names.
now, let's guess, will these throw any C++ exception? Silly me, it's just so obvious.
so, we first tell the compiler that "that extern C functions never throw a C++ exception" and then throw them? this feels like trahison!
Stay tuned on our trac to see when we will set the right flag to cmake, then remove the patch I posted and try again.
try latest rev (r4504), cmake should recreate the project files automatically from VS (I had to stop the build and start it again after it recreated the projects) and then tell if you still get the "stopped responding" popup message.


In changeset 1963 you have the line 'SSLPORT=getattr(settings, 'SSL_PORT', None)'. Why not just default it to 443. E.g. 'SSLPORT=getattr(settings, 'SSL_PORT', 443)'. No use in making a massively large config file any bigger.
This is not necessary. Without the setting, resulting URL will have no port number, and default for https: schema is 443.

Survive The Zombie Apocalypse
From the Book to the Movie – Zombies in My Blog
Posted on December 23, 2018 by zombieman
Sci-fi, smuggling and sabotage in a city on the moon! Set in the near future, the second novel by Andy Weir (The Martian) takes place in a lunar colony named Artemis. It follows a smuggler, Jazz (short for Jasmine), who takes a job and gets in way over her head. This book is gonna make for a great movie. I recommend you read it, so you can see what all the excitement is about from the same author who gave us The Martian.
While The Martian was like Robinson Crusoe or Cast Away on Mars, Artemis is like a heist movie on the moon. For me, my favorite moments were the two big capers: one in the middle of the book and one at the end. In fact, the lead-up to the end felt like an Ocean's Eleven flick — assembling a team for an impossible job — which I found thrilling to read.
The beginning of Artemis starts out with a thrilling life-or-death situation, but after that, there's a fair bit of world-building before the first caper. I encourage you to bare with the book as the payoff is… astronomical. It's also important to get to know the characters and their skills before Jazz assembles her team in this unique setting.
Reading about a colony on the moon is certainly unique. Typically, when we see colonies in science fiction, they'll on Mars, like in the movies: Total Recall or Ghosts of Mars. Other times, we'll see people living in space, like on TV shows The Expanse or Star Trek — author Andy Weir said in an interview that as a Star Trek fanboy, he watches Star Trek: Discovery and also The Orville. But when it comes to the moon, we typically see journeys to the moon and not its colonization. At best, we'll get something like Sam Rockwell's movie, Moon.
One exception I can think of are the episodes of Futurama, where the crew visits the moon. Similarly, the colony on Artemis does cater to tourists: tours of the lunar surface are available. You can visit the original Apollo landing sites, gaudy merchandise is sold, etc. But while Futurama also featured farmers on the lunar surface, the colony on Artemis deals in scientific studies, the harvesting of the moon's minerals and the manufacturing of technical materials in low gravity.
Much like those Futurama episodes, chases in low gravity are where Artemis gets interesting. Take a movie like Run Lola Run or Salt (with Angelina Jolie), where the female protagonist is on the run… now give her the gift of one-sixth of the Earth's gravity. She can run and ricochet off the wall of the colony like she was in The Matrix. When she flips a table over at someone, it hangs in midair and gives her a longer-lasting barrier so she can escape her pursuer. When she drops an item of important value, it doesn't immediately smash to the floor, it falls slowly. Wouldn't that look cool as a motion picture?!
Most of the third quarter of Artemis has Jazz on the run from both the law and nefarious forces — it's gonna look amazing as a movie!
One scene I can't wait to see on the big screen doesn't even spotlight Jazz. It has a local lawman jumping and crashing through a window three stories up to pursue a bad guy. When one of the onlooking tourists is aghast at how the lawman survives, Jazz reminds us of the one-sixth gravity on the moon. It's a pretty great visual and one I look forward to seeing realized on film. Because the gravity on Mars, unlike the moon, is more similar to Earth's, the movie The Martian couldn't explore these kinds of cool visuals the way a movie for Artemis can.
While Artemis could easily take place in the same universe as The Martian, it is not a sequel. However, much like the epic on Mars, everything that happens on the moon exists within the realm of possibility. I'm no scientist, but what Andy Weir writes seems pretty accurate. It's refreshing to read some science fiction that's not set thousands of years in the future or has aliens giving humans some revolutionary technology — we as a people have developed the ability to travel to and colonize the moon with what we have right now. It's very inspirational. I believe that once the movie comes out, it'll reignite interest in lunar travel the way The Martian sparked the imagination of traveling to Mars, even more than movies about missions to the moon.
Thanks to my friend Kyle, who works for NASA, for letting me know that Andy Weir had written a new novel. He's also the one who let me know that a studio scooped up the movie rights right away, before the novel was even published.
I've done some research on the upcoming movie, but only have a few facts. Simon Kinberg, who also produced The Martian, is producing Artemis, along with Aditya Sood. Phil Lord and Chris Miller (21 Jump Street, The Lego Movie) are directing — if you've read Andy Weir's style of humor in The Martian, this decision makes sense. Initially, the duo directed Solo: A Star Wars Story, before being replaced by Ron Howard, so you know they like sci-fi. Geneva Robertson-Dworet (2018's Tomb Raider, Captain Marvel) is the screenwriter; considering her previous work, it's only logical to have her write the treatment for Artemis' female protagonist. Because both 20th Century Fox and New Regency had acquired the film rights to the book, I don't expect the Disney-Fox merger to throw off the planned release in 2020 for the Artemis movie.
You have plenty of time to read the novel or listen to the audio book before the movie comes out. Do what I did and picture how cool the great moments on the moon will look as a movie.

No new product today, Garmin launches Instagram account for running
March 6, 2022 March 28, 2022 Ivan Jovin 506 Views 0 Comments 3 min read
Garmin has launched today an Instagram account for running. No new product announcement as was initially hoped.
It looks like we got all hyped up for nothing. Garmin has teased on one of its official Twitter accounts that something new will be coming on Monday, March 7th. Most were hoping it would be a hardware or a software related announcement. It turns out it was an Instagram account for runners.
Several videos were released promoting the launch. Here's one of them.
After a rather slow 2021, the company has landed quite a few devices so far this year. The list includes the Venu 2 Plus, Fenix 7, Instinct 2 and Descent G1.
The teaser tweet was posted a couple of days ago. You can see it below. What's interesting is that this did not appear under the main Garmin Twitter account. Instead it appeared on the Garmin Fitness account which is linked to the Forerunner range.
run·ning: adjective
The action or movement of a #runner.
It's easy to define, but harder to explain.
You'll see what we mean on March 7th. #RunWithGarmin pic.twitter.com/iaypbZZUlp
— Garmin Fitness (@GarminFitness) March 5, 2022
There was some speculation that this might be a reference to the upcoming Forerunner 955. We know it is in the works as there has already been a leak that mentions the 955 LTE a few weeks ago on Garmin Australia. As with all leaks, there was some debate on its validity.
The Forerunner 945 was released in April 2019 and the 945 LTE followed last summer. If you ignore the interim version, the typical two year Garmin cycle falls this spring. So there was an outside chance it could be this watch. In our mind, a launch this summer was always more likely. Some thought we could see the Forerunner 255 today.
Another line of thinking was that the product announcement was something to do with Running Power functionality. Similar to the high-end Polar range and devices such as Stryd, this shows athletes how hard they are working. It is a nice addition to standard heart rate tracking that accounts for terrain, form, and fatigue to tell you how hard to move. Garmin has been rumoured for some time to be working on this.
Then there was the possibility that it was software based functionality that was coming to current crop of sports watches. It would not be logical to release the Forerunner 955 or 255 with Running Power so soon after the Fenix 7. Unless, of course, the same functionality would come to other devices via future firmware updates.
Another interesting bit of information is that there is a Garmin smartband that was registered with the FCC a few months ago. It goes under the number 04352.
The confidentiality clause on that one runs out on March 30th. The device didn't drop today but it should in the weeks ahead. The hope of many is that this could be some kind of Whoop competitor, something for those that are primarily interested in recovery insights.
If Garmin does, indeed, release such a device – it would be bad news for Whoop. Because such a product would probably lack the subscription model of its device. Garmin does not charge for any data.
Then again, there's also the chance the smart band might be a reference to Vivosmart 5. The current generation Vivosmart was launched back in September 2018, so is well due for a refresh.

#PlaysOnATrain: Strangers on a Dart by Maureen Penrose
Photograph by Chandrika Narayanan-Mohan
On Sunday 24th June 2018, Fishamble and Irish Rail partnered to create a day-long playwriting workshop between Dublin and Bray called #PlaysonaTrain, taking place on train carriages and in Bray itself. 9 playwrights were chosen from a social media competition, and by the end of the day these playwrights had each written a short play based on trains.
Strangers on a Dart by Maureen Penrose
Bea sits on the Bray train, staring out the window. Leo gets on and sits opposite.
Both are in and around their sixties. Bea has three or four bags with her. Leo carries the morning paper.
Bea: (sings)
Bray trains, Bray trains
Going so fast
Leo: What's that yer singing?
Bea: It's a real old song. Me Ma used to sing it when I was a kid. I never heard who sang it?
Leo: Jeez, ye have me there. Never knew there was a song about the Bray train. Good to know. I must google it and learn it. I like a good Irish song.
Bea: Any good song'll do me. I don't care what nationality they are.
Bea looks back out the window. Leo looks at the front page.
Leo: What do ye think of yer man coming to Ireland? Pope Francis? Do ye think ye'll go to see him? There's not so much excitement this time, is there? Anyway, they say ye shouldn't discuss religion or politics.
Opens his Daily Mail and takes out his pen to do the crossword. Silence for half a minute.
Bea: Well it won't suit me to have him coming. No offence to the man, but my hotel will be putting me out to make way for "real" guests. I don't know where I'll be staying. I'm sick of moving around and not knowing where I'll be tomorrow night. I'm too bleedin' old for this. Ye can tell your Pope I won't be on his welcoming committee………..Mind you……….I remember when Pope John Paul came. I went up to the Phoenix Park to see him. Me and me Ma had little Pope stools, so we could sit down. It was a great day. My cousin was selling tea and sandwiches. She made a fortune.
Leo: (nostalgic smile) Ah now! I was there too. I think the whole of Dublin was there. That was a great celebration. Like Italia 90! Great times. Jeez, we were a different country back then. A more innocent country. We didn't know about Bishop Casey, or Father Michael Cleary. And they were just seeing women. Worse was to come. A lot of very sick priests and a very sick church. "God" bless our innocence. Rotten to the core! Yes, and not one black face in the Phoenix Park. We were a poor country and nobody wanted to immigrate.
Bea: We had houses. It was a poor country, but the County Council was building houses. Blanchardstown, Clondalkin, Tallaght. Thousands of houses. I had a house in Blanch. I had it lovely. Never done cleaning, polishing and washing. Ha! My fella used to be afraid to put his butt in the ashtray! I think I had OCD. I got rid of the OCD when I went on the Prozac. Mother's little helper. Do ye remember that song? The Beatles sang it. Back in the 60's. The swinging 60's. I was told the 60's were great, but my 60's are not great. They are shite!
Leo: I'll be 60 next month. I'm looking forward to my 60's, retiring and taking it easy. Are ye not living in Blanchardstown anymore? Did you say you live in a hotel? Sounds like the lap of luxury. I might win the Lotto and retire to the Shelbourne, or the Gresham.
Bea: Do ye know nothing?
Do ye know nothing?
Leo: (hands raised in surrender) Okay! Okay! Okay! Tell me, and then I'll know…
Bea: Ye don't want to know. Nobody wants to know. Do ye not read the papers? Put your nose back in your crossword there. Leave me alone. I'm sick of ye!
Leo puts the head down and focuses on his crossword.
Leo thinks: Mind your own business Leo. That's what the missus always says: Mind your own business Leo.
Leo: (mutters) GEGS (9,4) What's that? 9 letters and four letters? What sort of a clue is that?
Bea: My bastard of a husband used to pulverise me. It's how he kept fit. None of yer gyms for my Tony. Oh no! I was his sparring partner. I was his punchbag. I had to run for me life, after thirty years. I knew it was my time to die. He was getting worse and worse, the more lines of white he shovelled up his nose. I got to live in hotels, after I left the refuge. He got my lovely house. Oh, I took him to court, but the Judge wasn't impressed that I was taking Prozac. Tony made me out to be mad. The Judge thought I was of unsound mind, I think. Maybe I am? I am the result of an unsound life.
Ha ha! Did ye ever hear this one? Who's the nicest guy in the hospital?
Leo: I don't know. Who is this paragon?
Bea: The Ultrasound guy! Get it? The ultra-sound guy? Ha ha!
Bea giggles, maybe a little manic
Leo thinks: Don't ask about her children
Bea: I'm a granny, and a great granny. Would you believe that? I do drop out to see the family, but I wont live with any of them. I'm not putting that on them, no matter what they say. Anyway, they don't like the way I sing all the time, in public or in private. Does that mean I am of unsound mind? It can't really, can it? I hear the sound of music in my mind. I have a surround sound mind. Everything reminds me of a song. I'm sitting here and thinking of TRAIN songs. Can you think of any? What's your name anyway? (holds out her hand to shake) I'm Bea. Queen Bea that was ha ha!
Leo: I'm Leo. Very pleased to make your acquaintance.
Bea: Folsom prison blues, (sings) I hear that train a-coming, rolling round the bend….
(sings) Pardon me miss, is this the Chattanooga Choo Choo
Gospel songs do ye like them? I love black peoples gospel songs. They sound right to people who have been sad. (sings) This train is bound for glory, this train….
And yer man Chris De Burgh: Do ye remember The Spanish Train? I used to have that LP. It was brilliant! Probably worth a few bob now, that old LP.
Leo: The Monkees. The Last Train to Clarksville
Bea: Yeah! Brilliant! Did you watch the Monkees on telly? Peter Tork was my favourite. All me friends loved Davy Jones. But I liked Peter Tork. The quiet one. My ex looked a bit like Peter Tork. Blond, blue eyed, lanky, shy looking. See where that got me! Stupid girl that I was! They were right. It's the quiet ones ye have to watch. So now I'm homeless and anxious and living inside my sound-ful mind ha ha! Off to Bray to smell the sea. To see something beautiful. At least I have my bus pass. I love my bus pass. I can get on the train and go anywhere. I can step out of my life and be someone else, somewhere else, for a few hours.
Leo: I was a Blondie fan. She was beautiful. I am a lucky man. I get to live in Bray, beside the sea. I'm glad to meet your good self and have a nice chat. That's the thing about the train. If you're not stuck into your mobile phone, you get to meet people. Good people. People with stories to share.
Bea: You look a little bit like Peter Tork. Did anybody ever tell you that?
END.

#PlaysOnATrain: Play on a Train by Saoirse Anton
On Sunday 24th June 2018, Fishamble and Irish Rail partnered to create a day-long playwriting workshop between Dublin and Bray called #PlaysonaTrain, taking place on train carriages and in Bray itself. 9 playwrights were chosen from a social media competition, and by the end of the day these playwrights had each written a short play based on trains.
Play on a Train by Saoirse Anton
Characters: Áine – An older woman. Dressed in earthy, ethereal clothes.
Síofra – A younger woman. Dressed with hints of the ethereal, but with more concession
to conventional fashion.
Early morning, between moonlight and sunlight.
A train carriage, two seats facing each other with a table in between. Áine pre-set in one sat. Some time before Síofra enters. Síofra enters, a black box clutched tightly in her arms. She is nervous but determined. She has the air of someone who was once strong but has been worn down. She is a woman escaping something. Áine notices Síofra, she knows something that we (and maybe Síofra) don't know yet. Síofra notices Áine and there is a moment of strong connection, verging on recognition between them. Síofra sits opposite Áine, the box still clutched in her arms.
Áine (A): Morning
Síofra reacts. More silence.
A:You know there is a luggage rack. Indicating to the box.
Síofra shakes her head.
A: Or the table?
Síofra refuses again.
A: Right, can I ask what it is that you won't put it down?
A: Ah, ok, I should have guessed the answer to that one. Where are you off to anyway?
Síofra (S): Wherever I get off.
A: That's the best place to go. I've been there myself, a good few years ago now. And I'd imaging you, like me, came from wherever you got on at?
Síofra reacts, a little nervous or confused, definitely not comfortable.
A: Well, we can't help but keep going where we're going. Have you had your breakfast yet?
S: Not yet.
A: Want some? Offers some food she has just taken out of her bag.
S: No, thanks, you're grand.
A: Ah sure, yer one with the trolley will be round soon.
Silence for a while. Not uncomfortable. After a bit Síofra slowly places the box on the table, not being comfortable holding it on her knee. Áine acknowledges it.
A: I wonder where that trolley's gotten to. The train's not the only thing that needs fuel!
Síofra laughs, the first really open, comfortable response she has given. Suddenly the train stops. An announcement apologises for the delay. Síofra sighs.
A: Looks like we'll be here a while. Should have brought some tea.
S: Yeah, hope it gets moving again quickly.
A: Ah sure, we'll get there eventually. No rush, is there?
S: No, I suppose not.
They both look out the window again. Síofra fidgets a bit.
A: You haven't told me your name.
S: You haven't told me yours.
A: Áine.
S: Síofra.
A: Well Síofra, who are you?
S: What sort of a question...? How am I meant to answer that?
A: Well surely you, of all people, should know the answer to that one?
Siofra snorts and looks out the window, unnerved or unsettled. A crow flies past the window.
A: Morrigan. There's a battle to be lost or won today.
Síofra is becoming more unsettled. A pause as they look out the window.
A: So Síofra (reaching for the clasp on the box) who are you?
She flicks the clasp open with click. At the sound Síofra whips around to look at her.
S: Leave that alone!
She tries to shut the box but it is already too late. The contents have been revealed. It is a model box of Síofra's home.
A: Home?
She clearly already knew what was in the box.
Síofra is angry. Looks back out the window.
S: Yes.
A: Why did...
S: Don't ask.
A: Síofra
S: I said don't ask.
Áine watches Síofra surreptitiously as Síofra begins to play with and rearrange items in the box.
S: I didn't have a choice.
A: Who made you leave?
S: Well, no one, I decided to go.
A: You decided but you didn't have a choice?
S: I just had to, alright?
A: Alright.
S: I wasn't right for it. It's my home, god, I know it like the back of my hand, been there all my life, but I shouldn't be there, have been there. Wasn't right, not welcome.
A: Or maybe it wasn't right for you?
S: No.
Looks out the window. Begins to speak slowly as Áine begins to move items around in the model box.
S: It's me. I never fitted. I suppose I belonged elsewhere. The girl who was sick so often they didn't think she'd survive, but then when she did was too strong, too alive for them to accept. I remember one day in junior infants, I was the youngest in the class, only just turned four when we started, and the teacher was standing over my desk, with the disappointed look she reserved just for me. I can't remember what I had done that time, there was always something, coloured a white horse that should have been brown, sang the wrong song that no-one else knew, mentioned a memory she didn't believe, noticed something more than I should have. I don't know. But that look followed me everywhere, on different faces, in different guises – at home, at school, at mass, at work.
A: Followed?
S: Follows.
She moves the Síofra figurine to the edge of the box, the others to the far side.
S: Follows. Changed, changes. Took on a new tone. Confusion and disappointment to, disappointment and...something else... I walked too tall, talked too surely, knew too much. Everywhere I turned, every face I knew wore this disappointment and... oh I don't know. Why am I telling you this?
She tries to shut the box, but I won't close. Áine looks on, knowingly. We get the sense that she is stopping the box from closing. Síofra gives up, confused and frustrated, and looks out the window again.
A: Fear.
S: What?
A: Fear, disappointment and fear.
S: Don't be stupid. Fear? Who would be afraid of me? The sickly girl who can't quite get things right, and the strange woman who sort of gave up trying? Yeah, right, so scary.
Áine just watches her.
S: Fear? No it's more like, oh I don't know, it's like, disappointment and...
She gradually realises that Áine is right.
A: People fear what they don't know, what they can't know.
S: What do you mean? I've lived there forever, they know me, I know them.
The train begins to move again at some point during this piece.
A: Do they? Do you? You know that Catherine Keane had a baby last week, that Paulie Mahony is cheating on his wife, that Maura Casey is going to go out of business soon if she doesn't stop giving everyone everything on credit. They know you just finished your leaving cert, that you've worked in Brady's two years and five months next week...
S: Hold on, how do you...?
A: You know about them, they know about you. But you don't know them and they don't know you. The understanding isn't there because you haven't found your tribe yet, your people, the ones who know you as well as you know yourself when you stand with your feet on the ground and feel the energy of yourself, your past, your future, your place flowing through you. We fear what we don't know, it holds a power we can't contain.
Síofra has been listening intently, a change coming over her that has been brewing since she first saw Áine.
"The Changeling's Lullaby" begins playing softly as an instrumental.
The train stops.
After a moment Síofra slowly stands, looks at the box. She leaves it on the table, turns and leaves the train with the walk of a queen.
Áine softly sings "The Changeling's Lullaby" as the lights draw inwards to her, then just the light on/in the box as she finishes the song.

#Plays on a Train: Love on a Dart? By Eamonn O'Shiel
Photograph by Chandrika Narayanan-Mohan
LOVE ON A DART? by Eamonnn O'Shiel
A quite full Dart Carriage at Pearse Station, the station piano is playing the 'Marino Waltz'. A man carrying a large bunch of flowers enters the carriage. He stands near centre stage and holds onto the strap above his head.
V.O.: This train is for Bray, Bre.
The tune changes to 'Something Stupid', a woman enters. The carriage is now packed She struggles through the 'crowd to stand facing the man, close but not touching. She carries a handbag. She reaches up to hold the strap above her. She takes a step backwards, he takes a step forwards as the train starts to move. The flowers touch her face and as they return to original positions she sneezes.
Together they say:
HIM: Bless you.
HER: Excuse me.
She looks at the flowers.
HER: Oh, I'm sorry I think I dead headed your tulip.
Although their eyes never meet except when actually talking they are constantly looking at each other then away.
HIM: It's alright I can afford to lose a tulip or two.
HER: They're really beautiful.
Again we hear 'Something stupid' being played on a piano as the woman closes her eyes and waltzes around the carriage holding her handbag as if it were her dance partner. She returns to where she started from.
HIM: I'm glad you think so,.......serious brownie points needed.
HER: Ah, I see.
HIM: No, it's not what you think, they're for my sister.
HER: Really!!?
HIM: Yes, for Mother's Day.
HER: UhHu.....that was last Sunday week.
HIM: Yes, I've been away. Sarah, my sister minded the twins for me. She's a hero.
HIM: She's been great really ever since......
HER: Ever since?.....Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to....
HIM: Pry? No I'm sure you didn't.
She steps closer to him as the train stops. They are very close, touching.
HER: God I'm sorry, this train is so damn packed
HIM: It was.
HER: What?
HIM: It was packed. It's loosened out quite a bit now.
He takes a step backwards. We hear 'Marino Waltz' on the piano again and this time he waltzes about her, dancing with the flowers. He dances back to where he started from.
HIM: See?
HER: OH,....yes.
He steps back in to her as the train starts again. She doesn't retreat. Neither move. They are looking into each other's eyes.
HER: The twins?
HIM: Hmm?
HER: You said your sister minded the twins for you?
He takes a half step backwards.
HIM: Oh, yeah, she's great. Loves them like they were her own, and those boys can be a handful sometimes.
HER: Twin boys? Really? What age are they?
HIM: Four…….and three quarters!
V.O. Next station, Sidney Parade.
HER: Oh shit I've missed my stop.
HIM: Oh, don't worry, so have I.
'Can't Take My Eyes Off you' plays as they drop the flowers and handbag to the floor and waltz together around the carriage.

#PlaysonaTrain: A Short Play by Linda Butler
A SHORT PLAY by Linda Butler
A young woman, mid-twenties, sits on the DART, alone. She is crocheting. We can't see what she's making as she has just recently begun. The wool is white. Her eyes are red and swollen.
Two small boys under five years old are running up and down the carriage, screaming and playing. Their mother is standing at the connecting door between carriages, shouting at someone in the next carriage. There is a child's buggy beside her.
MOTHER: "And where were you while I was raising your boys?
(a pause, indistinct shouting from next carriage)
You were not working – you haven't done a tap of work in your life.
I want to know where you were for three years!"
ANNOUNCEMENT: "The next station is Shankill. Sean Chill"
The train stops and the doors open. An elderly man gets on and sits opposite the crocheting woman as the train pulls off again. The indistinct shouting continues as the man takes a bottle of sunscreen out of a backpack, removes his cap and glasses, lathers his face with sunscreen, and replaces his glasses.
MOTHER: "You can go to fuck! I'm keeping it, and you'll never find us, you bleedin' lazy shite!"
The mother slams the connecting door, barricading it with her buggy. The others on the train have frozen with shock, but go back to what they were doing after a second. Then, in a Kerry accent:
OLD MAN: (awkwardly, to crocheting woman) "'Tis a beautiful day."
The woman feigns a brief smile and continues crocheting.
OLD MAN: "I'm off to the seaside for a bit of icecream. And a bit of a tan I suppose. Haha!"
WOMAN: (reluctantly) "Yeah, it's a lovely day all right."
OLD MAN: "Bit warm for a scarf. Or what is it you're knitting?"
WOMAN: (stops crocheting, doesn't look up) "Em...it's a blanket"
OLD MAN: "Ah, very good. My wife did a bit of knitting herself, Lord rest her. Was very good at the baby stuff. Did all the Communion cardigans, Christening robes. Baby blankets for all the grandchildren. Is it for a boy or a girl?"
WOMAN: (pause) "...a girl"
OLD MAN: "Oh very nice. Very nice.
(The two boys run past. The first one screams as his brother chases him with a foam sword.)
I suppose you're happy not to be having a boy! Haha!"
WOMAN: (stops crocheting and looks up at the two boys) "I wouldn't mind either way."
MOTHER: (to boys) "Wha? No, I've no more bleedin' crisps. You'll have to wait till we get to McDonalds.
(boys start to cry)
"Shurrup! Or the man will throw ye off the train!"
OLD MAN: "So, have you made a lot of blankets?"
WOMAN: "No, actually this is my first one.
(does the wrong stitch)
Shit! Sorry, I've lost count."
OLD MAN: "Oh God, sorry, that was my fault distracting you! Sure, we're coming into Bray now. Take care now. Congratulations again! Take care."
The old man gets up, grabs his backpack and walks to the door.
ANNOUNCEMENT: "This train terminates at the next station, which is Bray. Bré"
The crocheting woman unravels her work and throws the crochet hook and wool back into her bag. The train doors open. The old man gets out, followed by the boys and their mother.
MOTHER: (leaving, ushering the boys outside) "Gerroff the train!"
The crocheting woman sits, staring out the window, leaning on her hand. She sniffs, but struggles not to cry. She's alone. A train worker enters the carriage by the connecting door. He picks up crisp packets left by the boys, and checks the remaining seats. He sees the woman still sitting.
WORKER: "Sorry love, did you not hear the announcement? We're terminating in Bray. If you're going any further, you have to get off here."
WOMAN: (looks up at the train worker, on the verge of tears) "Terminating?"
WORKER: "Yep. You have to get off and wait for the next one."
WOMAN: (gathers her stuff together and stands up.) "Yeah....I'll wait for the next one."
She leaves the train.
Linda Butler is a mother of two who enjoys crochet, science fiction and thinking about writing. She keeps meaning to write that mini-series, and already has her IFTA dress picked out.

The cup-shaped flowers on tulips (Tulipa) may be confused with some other blooms, though tulips grow on single stems and have sword-shaped leaves, unlike most of the blooms that they resemble. Tulips, which are grown from bulbs, usually bloom in spring and require some winter cold for best performance. Some flowers that look like tulips grow on trees or shrubs, though one is also a member of the Liliaceae family.
The bellflower 'blue clips' cultivar (Campanula carpatica) has blue-violet cup shaped flowers that resemble tulips, though the plant itself does not look like a tulip plant. The blooms, which have petals that come to a point at the end (tulips are rounded at the top of the petal) sit among the dense foliage of this mounding perennial. Bellflower blooms appear in clusters between July and September. Often used as a border plant, bellflower is low-growing and spreads. It can reach about 12 inches tall. Hardy in U.S. Department of Agriculture Plant Hardiness Zones 3 to 8, bellflower may be planted in full sun in cooler climates to filtered sun or part shade in warmer climates. It requires moderate water.
The crown imperial (Fritillaria imperiali) is a member of the Liliaceae family and bears some resemblance to the tulip, though the blooms hang upside down, unlike tulips, which open at the top. The crown imperial, which is considered an "old fashioned" flower, according to AllAboutFlowers.org, has a cup shaped bloom with wide petals that are pointed at the top. This plant grows from a bulb, like the tulip, and is available in orange, red or yellow.
Crown imperial bulbs may be left in the ground in most climates, and are hardy in Zones 5 to 8. Bulbs should be planted in full sun to light shade and require regular water during growing season.
Also called saucer magnolia or tulip tree, the Japanese magnolia (Magnolia soulangiana) produces fragrant, cup-shaped blooms in pink, white or red-purple. The flowers resemble tulips in shape, but can be up to 6 inches across. The plant blooms in spring. The plant itself is a deciduous tree that can grow to 25 feet and is hardy in Zones 5 to 9, but best planted where the risk of frost is minimal, as blooms may be burned. Japanese magnolias have coarse, dark green, oval leaves that average 6 inches in length. This tree thrives in part shade to full sun and requires moist soil.

The restrictions preventing Israel's infamous nuclear whistle blower Mordechai Vanunu from leaving the state expire this November.
Vanunu's Norwegian wife, Professor Kristin Joachimsen applied for his asylum in 2015 after their wedding in Jerusalem.
Asylum applications in Norway average four months to be approved. Norway finally approved the Vanunu family reunification application in September 2017, after the Norwegian Media reported on their delayed asylum process.
Don Hewitt created and produced Big Event television news with anchors on location who reported on a Big Get: facts delivered with guts.
Sixty Minutes from the United States from the beginning they wanted to do a program, but because of the censor situation they decide not to do it. Many journalists come here to the American Colony, from CNN and NY Times. They all want to cover my story, but their EDITORS say no. CNN wants to interview me; but they say they can't do it because they don't want problems with the Israeli censor. BBC is doing the same thing. Also big media from Germany, France, Italy, Japan. None of them wants problems with the Israelis.
On January 25, 2006, Vanunu was convicted by the Jerusalem Magistrates Court of 15 violations of a military order that prohibited him from talking to non-Israelis and because he supposedly attempted to leave Israel by taking a cab to go from Jerusalem to Bethlehem to attend Christmas Eve mass at the Church of the Nativity in 2004.
The original indictment included 22 different violations; Vanunu was charged with 19 and acquitted of four. He was acquitted of speaking to foreign nationals on the Internet and via video and voice chats.
On July 2, 2007, Israel sentenced Vanunu to six more months in jail for speaking to foreigners-who happened to be media-in 2004.
Although released from 18 years behind bars in 2004, Vanunu has been held in Israel under the Emergency Defense Regulations, which were implemented first by Britain against Palestinians and Jews after World War II.
The reason given is security but it is because Israel is not a democracy unless you are a Jew. This administration tells me I am not allowed to speak to foreigners, The Media, and the world. But I do because that is how I prove my true humanity to the world. My freedom of speech trial began January 25, 2006 for speaking to the media, the same day as the Palestinian elections.
The Israeli media demonized me, they published many lies about me. Israel kept me totally isolated in prison for most of the 18 years [behind bars].
I am also regarded as a traitor because I was baptized a Christian. My Christian conversion was also considered as treason and led to me receiving more time in jail than any murderer has ever served. The Israelis have this very beautiful article about freedom and liberty but they want to destroy anyone who criticizes them for revealing the truth to the world. The world must look and see what kind of democracy Israel is when one speaks out the truth.
It's very sad that Hilary Clinton went to the Jewish Wailing Wall and forgot the real crying wall is the Palestinian wall-the apartheid wall. The wall is not for defense, but to keep this conflict permanent. The people who need the help are the Palestinian Christians.
Israel propaganda portrays all Palestinians as Muslim extremists and Hamas terrorists and neglect that Palestinian Christians are following the true message of Jesus Christ with nonviolent resistance. We need all Christians to come and see the true facts on the ground.
The Dimona is 46 years old; reactors last 25 to 30 years. The Dimona has never been inspected and Israel has never signed the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty but all the Arab states have.
Twenty years ago when I worked there they only produced when the air was blowing towards Jordan ten miles away. No one knows what is happening now.
The Israelis have 200 atomic weapons and they accuse the Palestinians and Muslims of terrorism. The world needs to wake up and see the real terrorism is the occupation and the Palestinians have lived under that terror regime for 40 years.
The only way to peace is peace; the only way is nonviolence. The only answer to Israeli nuclear weapons, their aggression, occupation and oppression, and the wall and refugee camps is to answer them with truth and a peaceful voice. When I became the spy for the world, I did it all for the people of the world. If governments do not report the truth, and if the media does not report the truth, then all we can do is follow our consciences. Daniel Ellsberg did, the woman from Enron did, and I did.
The United States needs to wake up and see the truth that Israel is not a democracy, unless you are a Jew. Israel is the only country in the Middle East where America can right now find nuclear weapons.
America can also find where basic human rights have been denied Christians: right here in Israel. The time has come for the United States to see the truth of Zionism. It began as a secular nationalist movement, not a religious one.
Then some Christians believed that when Israel became a nation, it was the beginning of the second coming. They are deluded if they believe peace will come through atomic weapons. Atomic weapons are holocaust weapons. Christians should be the first people against them. We need all Christians to come and see the truth for themselves.
Vanunu also informed me that, "All the secrets I had were published in 1989 in an important book, by Frank Barnaby, The Invisible Bomb: Nuclear Arms Race in the Middle East.
A few days before Vanunu was lured from London to Rome by the Mossad, he spent three days being interviewed by Nuclear Physicist, Frank Barnaby.
Barnaby had been employed by the London Sunday Times to review the 57 photos Vanunu had obtained at various restricted locations in the Dimona.
I found the fact that Vanunu was able to smuggle a camera and films into and out of Dimona and photograph highly sensitive areas in the establishment astonishing.
I very vigorously cross-examined Vanunu, relentlessly asking the same questions in a number of different ways and at different times…I found Vanunu very straightforward about his motives for violating Israel's secrecy laws he explained to me that he believed that both the Israeli and the world public had the right to know about the information he passed on. He seemed to me to be acting ideologically.
Israel's political leaders have, he said, consistently lied about Israel's nuclear-weapons programme and he found this unacceptable in a democracy.
The knowledge that Vanunu had about Isreal's nuclear weapons, about the operations at Dimona, and about security at Dimona could not be of any use to anyone today.
He left Dimona in October 1985 and the design of today's Israeli nuclear weapons will have been considerably changed since then…Modern nuclear weapons bear little relationship to those of the mid-1980.

I know that in some communities and in some circles, it is not politically-correct to say anything positive about now ex-New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu.
Ever since he fought the battle of the confederate monuments, to a large block of Louisiana voters, he has crossed the wrong side of the proverbial Mason Dixon line. Even worse, he spent time at the Aspen Institute the weekend that the water pumps failed, causing significant damage to innocent people who entrusted him and city government to protect their properties from the wet.
Prior to New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu making Confederate monuments the signature issue of his second term, there was no controversy. New Orleans citizens of all races rarely mentioned the Confederate statues and the Mayor did not include the issue in the platform for his re-election.
Even though there are six weeks left in his term as Mayor of New Orleans, Mitch Landrieu has already set his sights on a bigger prize: the White House.
With the launch of his book, "In the Shadows of Statues: A White Southerner Confronts History," Landrieu has been all over the national media. In recent days, he has been interviewed on the CBS Morning Show, the National Geographic Channel, 60 Minutes, This Week, The Daily Show, andMeet the Press, to name only a few. This Friday, he will be a guest on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher.
Did Hardball's Chris Matthews just kinda endorse Mitch Landrieu for President?
Was that a political endorsement for Mitch Landrieu for the position of President of the United States we heard last night coming out of the mouth of MSNBC's Hardball's Chris Matthews?
Well, let me explain. First, a little history.
The competition is always spirited for there are so many potential turkeys to consider in 2017. Previous winners have included former President Barack Obama, documentary filmmaker Michael Moore, former House Speakers Nancy Pelosi and John Boehner, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, former Florida Governor Jeb! Bush, Ohio Governor John Kasich, U.S. Senator Lindsay Graham of South Carolina, former Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, former New Orleans Mayor and current federal inmate Ray Nagin and former U.S. Congressman and recently released federal inmate William "Dollar Bill" Jefferson.
Landrieu's cry to US Mayors and Governors, "Tear down those confederate monuments"

Q: Kendo UI - Batch editing row copied from different grid results in rows in both grids being updated What I am doing is copying rows from one grid to another.  The origin grid is not editable, but the destination grid is.
So, when I load in a row and change it, it changes the values within the original grid as well.
Further more, if I add a row from the original grid to the destination grid twice, I get further issues.  One data change on either of the rows within the destination grid changes the data within the other row on the destination table, as well as the 'read-only' version within the original grid.
I have a suspicion that this is caused by all copied rows retaining the data-uid of the parent from which it was copied.  If someone could confirm/deny this and maybe give me a workaround, I'd be incredibly grateful!
Side note: Because of implementation requirements, all of this code MUST be client side, so I can't do this work through controller methods.  I did get it working this way, but it's not good enough for what I need it to do.

A: You can use the toJSON method to get the raw data:
var dataItem = productBookGrid.dataItem($(this));

itemGrid.dataSource.add(dataItem.toJSON());

A: var userListGrid = $("#grid1").data("kendoGrid");
var selectedUserListGrid = $("#grid2").data("kendoGrid");

//Clear data.
$("#grid2").data('kendoGrid').dataSource.data([]);

for (var i = 0; i < userListGrid._data.length; i++) {

    var dataitem = userListGrid._data[i];
    //Some condition before add [IsChecked is a model property]
    if (dataitem.IsChecked == true) {
        selectedUserListGrid.dataSource.add(dataitem);
    }
}
