Consumed by his need to "finish the hat," Seurat alienates the French bourgeoisie, spurns his fellow artists, and neglects his lover Dot (Annaleigh Ashford), not realizing that his actions will reverberate over the next 100 years.

Forsyth man, cousin land 650-pound gator
Exhausting adventure unfolds over 13 hours

Gator meat likely will be a staple on the Padgett family meal plan for some time after two cousins caught a 656-pound alligator Sept. 29.
"Fried alligator is about the only way I know how to eat it," said Kenny Padgett of Cumming. "A lot of the family wants to try it."
Padgett and his cousin, Ben Yarbrough of Buford, were in a boat on Lake Eufaula along the west Georgia-Alabama line, hunting on a state alligator permit they get every three or four years.
Over the course of the weekend, Padgett said he'd seen about 60 alligators, but none big enough to beat their personal record. The cousins were hoping for a 9-foot prize.
"I was in complete shock. I had no idea that we had hooked into an alligator that big," Yarbrough said. "It made us more determined because we knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime gator."
Measuring about 150 inches, or 12.5 feet, their catch was short of the state's 166-inch record holder. But the overnight adventure of trying to get the gator aboard the boat was worth it.
"We hooked him at about 9 p.m. and we actually got him out onto the boat at about 11 a.m. the next morning," he said. "We had two fishing rods trying to pull him up after a while, we got him tired and got him up beside the boat and I got a bigger line on him and that's when we decided to shoot him."
Padgett thought without having to wrestle the gator, it would have been easier to get him on the boat, but that was just the beginning.
"He was so heavy, he started straight to the bottom and both fishing lines broke and the rope we had him tied with broke, so I tried to grab him, and I grabbed a leg, thought I could hold him, but he pulled me over the side, so I was in the water, sinking, trying to figure out what to do," Padgett said.
They spent the next two hours with ropes and hooks trying to drag the alligator onto the boat, but the hooks would either straighten out or come loose. Then, it came down to a coin toss.
"[Yarbrough] definitely lost," Padgett said. "He jumped in and swam down the 10-foot to the bottom of the lake, got a rope around the alligator, got back to the boat and we pulled him up."
Yarbrough, who was exhausted after hours of wrestling, said he was anxious about diving after the gator.
"I knew in my mind that the gator was dead, but it was still pretty scary," he said. "It took me a while to get in the water and it took me a little longer to get the rope around the gator."
Yarbrough was successful and, after much struggle, the cousins finally got the gator tied to the side of the boat and back to land.
"Then we couldn't get him in the truck," Padgett said.
Fortunately for the cousins, a ranger happened to be in the area with a tractor and was able to lift it onto their truck.
After having their catch officially weighed and measured, the cousins had the gator processed for meat. They took the head to a taxidermy professional and are still deciding how to use the hide.
Padgett, who shot a 300-pound bear by himself joked the weekend's catch may be the end of his gator-hunting days.
"I shot a bear a long time ago and it was almost as much work, but I think the alligator actually won out," he said. "But we'll go again next time, I'm sure we will.
"We'll just be a little more prepared and have at least one more person on the boat. Us two together were not quite enough."
The cousins were planning a weekend feast of gator, which Yarbrough said is tasty if prepared correctly.
"It will definitely be a little sweeter knowing how much it took to get him," Yarbrough said.

"The Chosen" Brings Tears to Phil Robertson's Eyes
The former "Duck Dynasty" star sings the praises of the streaming show about Jesus.

Dallas Jenkins, the man behind The Chosen, swung through Louisiana recently to visit with Phil Robertson and his sons Jase and Al on their Unashamed podcast. It turns out that the family members, who shot to fame on A&E's Duck Dynasty reality TV show, are big fans of the program about Christ's earthly ministry.
Phil, the patriarch of the Robertson clan, in particular has been touched by The Chosen, telling Jenkins during the podcast that he and his team "did an outstanding job." Robertson also acknowledges that though he doesn't cry often, the series has made him emotional "more than once," saying that, "I don't cry easily, but after watching that: it was real."
A devout Believer for decades, Robertson knows the Bible well and consistently and boldly shares his Christian faith. The authenticity of the scripts and performances in the show nonetheless had a surprising effect on him.
"I learned that seeing something is far more powerful than reading something, reading about something (touches Bible). The Scriptures - you all were able to bring that to life."
Jenkins, for his part, praised the Robertsons for their authenticity, which became such a hallmark of Duck Dynasty, pointing out that that served as a model for him in his approach to The Chosen. He also addressed the awesome responsibility that he and especially lead actor Jonathan Roumie feel about portraying Christ in their show, sharing a poignant moment that took place between them during production of season one.
"He (Roumie) pulled me aside and he got emotional and he says, 'This is making me nervous, preaching to these people. I don't feel worthy of this.' And I said, 'Gosh, Jonathan, none of us are. I'm not worthy to be here either. Let's embrace that. That's the whole point. That's the whole point of the show, that's the whole point of the Gospel, that's the whole point of Jesus, is none of us are worthy. So let's hold onto this for the rest of the time we're filming the show.'"
The Chosen is currently five episodes into the second of an anticipated seven seasons. Episode 6 should release later this month and Christian Film Blog will let you know the date once it is announced. In the meantime, we recommend you check out the Unashamed podcast with Jenkins. It runs just over 55 minutes and we've included the YouTube version below.

SummerWorks Review: Greenland [The Greenland Collective]
Posted on August 18, 2009 by Brian in Everything, Reviews, Summerworks, Theatre | Leave a comment
It's been a few days now, and aside from finding new and creative ways to put off writing my last couple of SummerWorks reviews, I've been thinking about Greenland, and trying to come up with reasons why it's such an amazingly spectacular show. Certainly, along with Melancholy Play, it's the best show of the festival, at least out of the ones I saw.
Really, it's all about the characters.
Jonathan (Andrew Musselman) is one of the world's leading glaciologists (yeah it's a real thing, look it up). He's discovered an island off the coast of Greenland, previously unknown because it was covered by a glacier. He relates his story of being interviewed about his discovery. He talks about his father, about getting his Dad ice for his belts of rye when he was small. He talks a little about his own family, particularly his wife Judith. It's all quite interesting and funny and just a bit sad.
Judith (Clair Calnan) is Jonathan's wife. She's an actor, and desperately wants a kid by Jonathan. She talks about feeling like her ovaries are drying up. How she and her husband are not really a good match, that they don't really understand each other's occupations. And she talks about her sister an brother-in-law, and how they were killed in an accident, when a piece broke off a bridge and crushed their car while they were in it, orphaning their two teenage kids. About her and Jonathan taking them both in. And she smokes like a chimney while doing it. It's really sad, rather sexy, and compelling as hell.
Tanya (Jajube Mandiela) is their niece and adopted daughter. She's doing a school report on Greenland. She talks about her twin brother, about dealing with death, about living with Jonathan and Judith, and makes up a fable on the spot for Jonathan's newly-discovered island. It's REALLY sad, but also inspiring and stunning.
And that's all there is to it, really. The three of them come up, one at a time, with a spotlight on each, and they tell their stories. They don't interact with each other on stage, they don't speak to each other. The story comes out through their respective soliloquies, and it paints a complex, sad family picture.
It's just a terrific piece of work, and all three actors in it are wonderful. The details of their stories is fantastic and the performances so nuanced that's it was impossible not to be completely drawn in.
The show was an hour long, but flew by.
If you see that there's a production of this show upcoming, see it, especially if this cast is reprising their roles. Hopefully it'll be in a bigger space, since the 55-seat Passe Muraille Backspace couldn't accommodate everyone who wanted to see it (I felt bad, some people waited in line for an hour and still didn't get in, while I had advance tickets).
SummerWorks: Capsule Reviews (Piano Tuner, Gilgamesh, Parrot/Tennessee, Apricots)
Posted on August 16, 2009 by Brian in Everything, Summerworks, Theatre | 1 Comment
I'm pretty behind in my reviews and SummerWorks is nearing completion. I'm also getting burned out on plays after seeing four plays yesterday (I was scheduled to see Doppleganger and Underneath today but am passing on both from theatre over-exertion, so I apologize to those shows and to SummerWorks for cancelling on them) and 15 in just 7 days.
I'm also getting a little tired of writing full-length reviews of shows I didn't love. Contrary to what some might think, I really do wish I could write rave reviews of every show. It sucks to write poor reviews, it's way more fun to write good ones. As such, I'll have full-length reviews of Greenland and the Sunparlour Players show shortly, and here's some quick thoughts and capsule reviews of four shows I've seen since Friday: The Piano Tuner, The Epic of Gilgamesh, Under the Parrot/Over Tennessee, and Apricots.
SummerWorks Review: Melancholy Play [Project Undertow]
Posted on August 14, 2009 by Brian in Everything, Summerworks, Theatre | Leave a comment
Man, this reviewing gig is tough sometimes. How can I write a coherent review of a show when all I want to do is rave about it and call it the best I've seen at SummerWorks, at least so far? I think it's easier to write a detailed review of a show you hated…
So what can I say about Melancholy Play? It centres around a woman named Tillie who is embroiled in a very deep melancholy. The funny thing about it is, during her melancholy she says the most enchanting (and absurd, but that's part of the reason it's so funny) things about her sadness and suffering and the world around her that the people around her, both men and women, can't help but fall in love with her. These people include her psychiatrist, tailor, hairdresser, and a nurse who's involved with the hairdresser. They all fall for Tillie, but when Tillie suddenly becomes a happy person, their love for her fades and they become miserable.
It's silly, but it's a show that has a lot of heart, too, with an understanding of the certain kind of sadness and depression that makes up melancholy. The kind of sadness that leaves one staring out the window in the afternoon, doing nothing more than observing the passage of time, or leads you to see the beauty in another person's tears and makes you want to keep them forever.
There's a lot of talk like that in the show (in fact, these two examples are relatively tame and straightforward), and it takes a very skilled cast to deliver those sorts of lines without sounding just ludicrous and totally beyond what a person would actually say. Fortunately, Melancholy Play has just such a cast. Ennis Esmer (Frank) and Pamela Rhae Ferguson (Frances) have a couple of scenes where they speak the same lines in concert without looking at each other, which is a whole lot harder to do than it looks. Anna Hardwick has some memorable lines as Joan. There's a woman on stage, Cheryl Ockrant, who plays cello throughout the show, giving it some very proper melancholic ambience. Salvatore Antonio is a hoot as Lorenzo, Tillie's psychiatrist, who speaks with an over the top accent ("I am from a eur-OH-pee-an country") and keeps bringing up that his mother abandoned him as a child in a candy shop. And both actresses who play Tillie, Ingrid Rae Doucet as melancholy Tillie and Melissa-Jane Shaw as happy Tillie, strike just the right notes.
And if I can be slightly lewd for a moment, I don't need a play to have several beautiful female cast members with very lovely legs who mostly wear short skirts throughout the show to enjoy it, with two of them in a relationship and living together and spending one scene trying to seduce a third. I don't NEED that to enjoy a play, but it certainly doesn't hurt…
Really, though, it's a wonderfully absurd script by Sarah Ruhl, directed nicely by Rosa Laborde with a superb cast. I laughed the hardest that I've laughed all festival throughout, and don't have a single bad thing to say about Melancholy Play. Sounds like a 5/5 to me.
Melancholy Play has just one show left at SummerWorks: August 15 at 10:30 at Factory Theatre Mainspace. See it if you can.
SummerWorks Review: I'll Always Be There to Kill You [Pure Cassis Productions]
I really liked Patricia Marceau's production of I'll Always Be There to Kill You, or Je serai toujours là pour te tuer in its original French, for much of it's hour-long running time. It's a cute show, with an attractive, talented two-person cast with good on-stage chemistry.
The setup is quite cute too: Helen (Geneviève Trilling) decides she wants to die, but can't do it herself, so she places a newspaper ad, answered by Simon (Christian Smith), and contracts him to kill her before the end of the summer. All she wants is to not see it coming and to go peacefully.
It sounds kind of dark, but it's really not. Trilling plays her character's resulting paranoia and fear of this stranger who's living in her house and is supposed to eventually kill her to great comic effect. Smith, meanwhile, plays the straight man, but his character also not-so-subtly tries to convince Trilling's that what she really wants is to live. Their interactions are, for the most part, quite cute, occasionally delving into the more serious matters like why she wishes to die and why he would accept such a job in the first place. And, inevitably, they fall in love. Aw.
Did you notice I said "cute" a whole lot in the preceding paragraphs? Ok, good.
Not that there's anything wrong with cute, mind you. Sometimes I like a good piece of romantic fluff theatre, especially if the actors are good.
When I'll Always Be There to Kill You falls down a little, though, is when it's reach exceeds it's grasp. It seems like at times, the play wants to be something more: a look at mortality, at the occasional desire that some people have to end their own lives vs. the fear of the unknown beyond this life. Which is great fodder for a play too, of course, and has been for centuries, but it seems like I'll Always Be There to Kill You wants to explore this kind of heavy subject matter while at the same time keeping things as light as possible, and it's a balancing act that doesn't quite work. The characters are drawn in pretty broad strokes, with some fairly vague backstory offering few details about why Helen wants to die, or why Simon might agree to kill her, which is fine for a romantic fluff piece, but not for serious life and death talk. The ending, too, just doesn't sit right; it goes from cute to serious in a split second and, without giving anything away, seems like a forced, concrete ending when something a bit more ambiguous might've been better.
It is distinctly possible that the play loses something in the translation from French to English, and if I knew enough French to follow it I'd probably see the French performance. Still, Trilling and Smith almost make it work.
I'll Always Be There to Kill You or Je serai toujours la pour te teur has two performances left at SummerWorks, one in English on August 15 at 6 PM and one in French on the 16 at noon, both at the Factory Theatre Studio. See the SummerWorks website for schedule and ticket info.

Listen to the Morbidly Wistful New Single from Brooklyn's Nicholas Nicholas
Nicholas Nicholas' new single is a triumph of morning dew and melodrama.
By Patrick D. McDermott, Patrick D. McDermott
In addition to playing in Heavenly Beat's live band and collaborating with Steve Sobs, Brooklyn songwriter Chris Masullo makes narcotized new wave as Nicholas Nicholas. His recently-released single "Meet Me in the Park" is very promising, a triumph of morning dew and melodrama, pitched-down vocal layers and a morbidly wistful guitar tone. The little details he chooses to highlight in the lyrics resonate strongly: you're like a wolf reading Jack London, he observes, it doesn't make any sense in my brain/ you just rip it to shreds. The track is taken from his forthcoming second full-length; hopefully that record is full of perfectly isolated moments just like this one.

The Kougra's words chased Cassie out of the room. As soon as she could, Cassie took to the sky, flying to the air-docks. Kazeriu's Pride was the pride of the military. Their fastest ship, but also the smallest. Cassie loved it. It took her bare minutes to arrive, and it took off almost as soon as she landed.
A day passed as they raced the wind to reach Faerieland. Over the mountains of the Divide, past Neopia Central and the burned remains of Kiko Lake, over the twin kingdoms of Meridell and Brightvale, and to the cloud city of Faerieland, right next to the hovering Darigan Citadel. Even before Kazeriu's Pride landed, Cassie was flying to the Faerie Palace.
Wings spread wide, she landed right in front of the palace. The Faerie Kougras guarding the entrance let her in as soon as she told them who she was and why she was there. One led her to a conference room, and she entered the room and stepped into an argument.
Glancing around, Cassie met the calm eyes of the Techo Master. He raised a hand, gesturing her over to where he sat, along with a number of other leaders. Carefully avoiding the arguing group, Cassie joined them.
"They forget," the Techo Master said softly.
Sighing, Cassie looked around, figuring out who was there. Jeran was standing up, blue fur mussed by endlessly running his hands through hair. Tormund was beside him, the young yellow Lupe standing with his arms crossed and a determined expression on his face. Sabre-X spoke little, but he agreed with his fellow Lupes. On the opposite side, Torakor and Galgarroth were staying firm. The two Grarrl, blue and orange and both dressed in elaborate armour, wanted each land to stand on their own.
Judge Hog was on Jeran's side too, of course. Cassie shook her head, half-wondering why the Grarrls weren't just giving up, with two of the most influential leaders arguing against them. Even with Magax and Scarblade adding in their own words about standing alone, it didn't quite make sense.
Cassie sighed, glancing around at the group scattered around the edges of the room. They weren't part of the argument, and seeing them was, in a way, more interesting. Talek sat in his chair, looking bored. He blended in with the pastel colors of the Faerie palace, too, all cream and tan and soft purple, with blue-gray maractite armour and blades.
Commander Valka was slouching in his chair, twirling his moustache with one green finger. Beside him, Prince Jazan of Qasala sat, leaning forward over the table. The Kyrii kept looking like he was about to say something, but never quite did. The Techo Master and the Keeper of Time both seemed like they were meditating or asleep.
Aethia nodded. "I will bring back the others. Choose someone to inform them of your decision." Without another word, she left.
Cassie stared at him in shock for a moment before looking around the table. Nobody spoke.
"Why?" she finally asked, breaking the silence.
The green Techo looked up. "You hold power," he said simply.
Talek smiled. Nobody said anything until Aethia returned, the still arguing leaders trailing her. Cassie waited until they'd all sat down, even Sabre-X, who had been pacing and adding his comments earlier. When they'd all quieted, Cassiel stood.
Cassiel spread her hands. "It's your choice, in the end. Realize the consequences of your actions before you say where you stand, however. We cannot be united if even one of us lets pride overwhelm sense, or prejudice overcome love for this world that we all belong to." Words exhausted, she sat, almost collapsing into her chair.
"Meridell will stand with Neopia," Jeran said.
"As will Brightvale," Tormund added quickly.
"The Defenders pledge their strength to this cause." Judge Hog's voice boomed out in the contained room, and the blue Moehog smiled, pride obvious on his face.
"We will fight with you," Sabre-X growled, nodding his head once.
A blue hand hit the table. "Altador will help you," Torakor said.
"As will the Citadel," Galgarroth rumbled.


Menus basically consist of categories, pages and links.
When constructing a menu for my site, over time my menu will grow as I expand the site.
This growth is reflected in the number of categories, pages and links.
To make the menu appear smaller than it is, for efficiency and efficacy reasons we separate and categorize some of our menu items into drop down menus.
For instance you may want to put all of your links under one main heading, all the categories under a different main heading, all the pages under a different main heading and so forth.
We all do it eventually if we're adding to the site and redesigning how we want to organize our posts to make the retrieval of them more efficient for the reader.
This is not a problem when using a computer or a laptop or tablet.
However, when using a hand held device aka mobile device matters change.
Fixed/Sticky menus are menus that don't scroll out of sight when you scroll down your blog or website. They stay fixed at the top of the page, taking space away from your content, but they also are always there on the page, no matter how long you scroll, so that when you want to select a different category, you don't have to return to the top of the page to do so.
Fixed/Sticky menus are fine for the beginner who only has one line of categories across the Homepage.
For blogs and websites with much larger menus the 'fixed' menu gets in the way, taking up way too much of the reader's view, sometimes as much as half or more of the page.
People want to see more than a few lines of text at a time, even though they read only one line of text at a time. The overall view that the reader experiences is important to their enjoyment of the post they are viewing.
To accommodate both the small sites and the large sites, it would be practical and efficient to give all free and all premium themes the option of a fixed/sticky menu or a menu that scrolls with the page.
Because I have large menus, I can't use a theme that has a fixed/sticky menu, unless I'm given the option to disengage it.
In addition, content options currently included for some, but not all, themes in the WP Editor, should be available across the board of themes (free and premium) and should be expanded to include the fixed/sticky header option.
Consistency across themes in areas that are important to the experience of the reader is advantageous to Word Press in that more sites can make use of a greater number of themes, whether paid or premium.
Word Press lies like a Persian rug in Texas.
One day I checked how my Word Press sites looked on my Kindle tablet.
Was I ever surprised to see the ads popping up for foot fungus and a bunch of other creepy stuff next to my food posts. Food, non-food, it didn't matter. Grotesque stuff. Who would even make an ad like that if they truly wanted to sell a product? I can't imagine, except by those who didn't really want to sell a product at all but wanted to hurt some other person's intellectual material or the person or their company.
When I had one of my own images at the end of the post, which I often do, that flippin' fungus foot was practically on the plate of my beautifully prepared meal.
When checking around the internet, I found I wasn't the only one whose material was being assaulted by that rotted foot. That fungus was everywhere, and the impression of the sites where I saw it was always the same – disgust. So it worked to turn a person against where it was placed – next to your post. Very, very close to your own lovely image. These ads don't fall out of the air.
So what I did was make a signature banner that I placed beneath the last photo or text in all my posts.
The two seen above are examples. I placed them on all posts on all sites. It took a long time. Then I realized that my name was being associated with those Assault Advertisements. Now I had to remove them all. I still haven't completed that task with thousands of posts and pages, but I did devise a simpler way to keep the flippin' fungus foot off my plate.
I now insert 5 horizontal lines beneath every post and page. That way if somebody hacks into my site dislodges all the images leaving a ? box in their place, I don't have to go back and reinsert thousands of this particular signature image. And it keeps that flippin' foot off my meticulously prepared meal.
See if that gives you a wee bit more peace of mind.
Remember, without the bloggers, the ad agencies would not be placing any ads at all. We're their money, not the other way around. How many bloggers make money off of ads on Word Press? Not many. So considerations need to be given to 'we the blogger' whose material gets assaulted by unscrupulous people and other entities warring against our brand.
We need a say in what can and cannot be placed next to our posts.
We need a say in what we find offensive.
If somebody wants the privilege of advertising on my sites and beneath my posts and in my sidebar for free, interrupting the flow of my presentation, startling the reader with pop-ups that don't belong to me, or videos that automatically start playing, to make the reader look away from my site, then they need to abide by some rules. They need to show a little respect.
Word Press or the person who owns it does not own me nor my material. Sometimes I get the feel that that's how WP regards it's bloggers who don't pay high prices for their sites. We get the crumbs.
I'm not looking for an advertisement-free site. I believe in advertising. But these Assault Ads go too far.
I am nobody's slave and nobody owns me nor my work. Although Word Press gives me free usage of some of their themes with which to build my sites, they're a billion dollar company with very few employees and very little overhead. That's a lot of money. And all they do is sell advertisement space. That's their business. The Word Press bloggers are cash cows for Word Press.
'We the blogger' deserve a better product and 'we the blogger' deserve a say in who hitches their wagon to it.

Wow! Look!
« #24 Earth Geeks Must Go!
Look Back in Languor »
#25 Ghost in the Mirror
April 28, 2011 by bhuhuh
"She even torments him by mocking the fact that he still has to sleep in modified baby furnishings because his family can't afford to upgrade his bedroom set. This is just adding insult to injury, though, as suffering through Tiny Furniture is certainly punishment enough already."
Tiny Furniture is a 2010 semi-autobiographical independent film by auteur Lena Dunham, with a supporting cast of family members played by family members. Recent post-graduate Aura (Dunham) returns to New York City to live with her family after college, finding herself in a self-imposed rut. In the film, her mother, a successful artist, spends the film photographing dollhouse furniture and other tiny things in her atelier.
"Jason admires the new additions but finds himself uncomfortably drawn to the mirror, despite possessing neither a digital camera nor a MySpace account."
– Myspace, previously mentioned. Profile pictures for social networking websites are notorious for being taken directly in front of a mirror or from the most flattering angle possible (with the help of the looking glass).
"They assure him that it's a "scary" one, but Jason wisely opts out of watching Topaz."
– Hitchock's 1969 film Topaz, a Cold War espionage thriller, was ill-received by audiences. The plot involves a French intelligence operative's family troubles; a defecting Soviet agent and his family; the eponymous Topaz; a spy ring inside the French secret service; and Cuban missile launch sites. From what I remember of Topaz, it was a bit of a disjointed affair that rapidly introduced characters and then dropped them just as abruptly.
Upon opening the door, a red-eyed creature leaps out at him, causing him to respond, "Oh no, not an esoteric representation of the impermeability of death in Thai culture! Turns out it's just Sister Claudia Who Can Recall Her Past Halloween Costumes…"
– a reference to the 2010 film Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives. Boonmee, played by Thanapat Saisaymar, is visited by his wife's spirit and his son (in the form of a red-eyed monkey) during his reminisces as he dies of renal failure.
"Fred reappears at school the next day, only, like Shirley MacLaine and Audrey Hepburn before him, he's… different."
– The tagline for the 1961 drama picture The Children's Hour, starring MacLaine and Hepburn, was an insinuating "Different…" They starred as the heads of an all-girl boarding school whose professional and personal lives are ruined when they are falsely accused of lesbianism by a malicious student. It was directed by the prolific William Wyler and based on the successful play of the same name by Lillian Hellman.
"His sports abilities go from Lane to Kobe Bryant"
– Lane Bryant is a franchise retailer of plus-sized women's clothing. It was established by one Lena Bryant in 1904 and given the misnomer by a banking clerk who switched the letters of her first name during paperwork. Kobe Bryant (b. 1978) is an accomplished NBA player for the Los Angeles Lakers. He has the current record for second-highest number of points scored in a single game (2006) and is consistently rated high in player rankings.
"And the rule of threes applies"
– Common and contrived folk legend asserts that tragedy comes in threes, usually the deaths of celebrities. Alternatively, the comedy and rhetoric technique by the same name also asserts that this number has the most impact or inherent humour of all the values. It's just a big popularity contest. The Rule of Three was what I imagine the Gang of Four called themselves before Jiāng Qīng joined the group and it all cocked up.
"To be fair, maybe he though someone had brought a DVD copy of The Green Hornet into his room, which would certainly threaten the well-being of even the bravest among us."
– The 2011 movie The Green Hornet is the latest superhero movie and latest incarnation of the 1930s-1940s radio and serial vigilante. It stars Seth Rogen as the Hornet and Jay Chou as the valet-bodyguard-superhero of malleable ethnicity Kato. The character was created by Fran Striker, also responsible for the Lone Ranger.
"Late 90s Cultural References
Jason has some sweet WWF posters on his wall– it's eventually revealed to be the wrestling one, but for a while there I was having fun picturing this kid bragging about having some kick-ass panda pix up in his room."
The wrestling entertainment organisation WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) was called the World Wrestling Federation during the 1980s and 90s. After a legal dispute with the environmental and conservational organisation World Wide Fund for Nature over use of the "WWF" initalism in 2000, it was changed to the current name. The World Wide Fund for Nature logo is a panda of cuddly contrasts.
"We've traced the bark, it's coming from inside the mirror!"
The cold closing punchline, "the calls are coming from inside the house", from the well-known urban legend about the babysitter who constantly receives threatening phonecalls. She calls the police, who stay on the line and prepare to trace the next call. After the next phase of threats, the officer frantically tells her, "Get out of the house! The calls are coming from upstairs!" The ending is usually left open to the imagination. The story and phrase have been used as a foundation for countless films and television shows, the most well known being the original versions of When a Stranger Calls and Black Christmas.
While visiting "HorrorLand", keep an eye on your valuables, don't leave your children unattended, and just… just stay away from the Bat Barn.

I regretfully concede that I did not make a single Freddy vs Jason reference. But I also resisted the very strong urge to pun on the lyrics to Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror," so let's call this a draw

– "The Rule of Three was what I imagine the Gang of Four called themselves before Jiāng Qīng joined the group and it all cocked up."

Thank you both for the… reflections.
Glad to have it clarified and to commend you, Troy. I note that you also held fast against a Nico reference in both Goosebumps mirror titles. That truly boded chills in the night.

Walker Joyce, Acting

As a New York-based actor he performed in the city and across the country, most notably in the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical BIG RIVER, Roger Miller's take on HUCKLEBERRY FINN, playing the villainous "King." During the national tour, Time magazine's Pulitzer Prize winning critic William Henry wrote an essay entitled "How Does Broadway Play in Peoria?," and praised his performance thusly: " As a scalawag conman, Walker Joyce malevolently out-performs his antecedents."
Another signature role is Benjamin Franklin in several productions of 1776, a part he can't out-grow and he hopes to play again!
After a spell in Los Angeles pursuing movies and television, Walker moved home to New Jersey and founded The Bickford Theatre, an Equity company now in its 23rd season.

He continued to appear on other local stages, including NJ Rep, Luna and 12 Miles West. Nowadays, he's a freelance director, writer and consultant. As the Showcase Magazine Arts columnist, he continues to keep a sharp eye on performances and trends here and around the country.
Walker is also a life-long history buff, with a particular interest in the American Revolution and the Founding Fathers. He's forever chagrined
at how New Jersey's rich legacy has never been properly taught or even preserved by the state, as his "Milestones" column in the Showcase has shown.

Q: Plain vanilla Hadoop installation vs Hadoop installation using Ambari I recently downloaded hadoop distribution from Apache and got it up and running quite fast; download the hadoop tar ball, untar it at a location and some configuration setting. The thing here is that I am able to see the various configuration files like: yarn-site.xml, hdfs-site.xml etc; and I know the hadoop home location.
Next, I installed hadoop  (HDP) Using Ambari.
Here comes the confusion part. It seems Ambarin installs the hdp in /usr/hdp; however the directory structure in plain vanilla hadoop vs Ambari is totally different.  I am not able to locate the configuration files e.g. yarn-site.xml etc.
So can anyone help me demystify this?

A: All the configuration changes must be done via the Ambari UI. There is no use for the configuration files since Ambari persists the configurations in Ambari Database.
If you still need them, they are under /etc/hadoop/conf/.

A: It's true that configuration changes must be made via Ambari UI and that those configurations are stored in a database.
Why is it necessary to change these configuration properties in Ambari UI and not directly on disk?
Every time a service is restarted and it has a stale configuration the ambari-agent is responsible for writing the latest configuration to disk. They are written to /etc/<service-name>/conf. If you were to make changes directly to the configuration files on disk they would get overwritten by the aforementioned process.
However the configuration files found on disk DO still have a use...
The configuration files (on disk) are used by the various hadoop daemons when they're started/running.

A: Basically the benefit of using Ambari UI in Cluster Hadoop deployment. It will give you central management point.
For example:
10 pcs Hadoop cluster setup.
Plain vanilla Hadoop:

*

*If you change any configuration you must be changed in 10 pcs

Ambari UI :

*

*Due to configuration store in db. you just change in management portal all changes effect reflected on all node by single point change.

Process automation today is seen as a way to help businesses steer through changing and complex regulatory requirements as well as bolster transparency and trust in the financial results of the company.
Process automation of course is more complex than one might think. It requires skilled people, streamlined processes, and a company culture that encourages stakeholders in the process to admit mistakes and own up to them.
There are several aspects of accounting that can be automated although certain aspects tend to benefit a lot more from process automation such as automating journal entry, automating the reconciliation process, and automating variances.
One of the many benefits of process automation in finance is that it lets you standardize the application of rules across the organization. This means that if there are exceptions to company-wide rules, they can be explained because they were consciously thought out.
You remove the old ways of certain departments being exempted without truly knowing why except a vague explanation of "it has always been this way".
The problem of many businesses today is that most still perform manual reconciliations or that their internal culture punishes mistakes done by people that it makes stakeholders think twice about admitting mistakes.
In the ideal world, a company´s financial close process should detect certain problems so they can be immediately fixed. This is why it is crucial to close books fast and on time because a few days of delay because of a need to correct identified errors can erode the trust of the management team especially the CFO.
CFOs and finance managers must have enough time to analyze the results, communicate it publicly, and then reforecast.
However, the reality is that sometimes a company´s close process is not very efficient that they miss out on certain errors. This is then where the auditors come in. If they are good, they should be able to spot these errors and question the process.
When auditors question the process, it will cost the business time and money because backtracking needs to happen and more questions need to be answered.
However, the worst-case scenario for any business would be a case of having a substantive error that manages to get passed the finance department without being detected, through the board, and through the auditors. Then you have a scenario where the market cannot trust your business´ financial results. This will open the floodgates to more problems for the business.
This is why an effective process automation and an effective financial close process must never be taken lightly by any business. It not only has an effect on time and monetary costs for the business, you also put the business reputation on the line.

German govt to present climate action programme for all sectors
(Clean Energy Wire, 11 Jul 2022) Germany's government will make good on a key coalition agreement promise this week and present an "immediate climate action programme" with measures in all economic sectors, reports Tagesspiegel Background.
The programme will include measures and rules for energy, industry and agriculture, as well as for transport and buildings. Both the transport and the buildings (heating) sectors failed their annual emission reduction targets in 2021, and the climate action law stipulates that the government must introduce immediate action programmes to ensure they would reach targets in the future.
Tagesspiegel also writes that measures the government had promised as part of a "summer package" of climate and energy legislation are not published in bulk, but rather be decided step by step.
As part of their coalition agreement, the three government partners – Social Democrats (SPD), Green Party and pro-business FDP – had said they would introduce the immediate action programme "with all necessary laws, regulations and measures." During a first stock take and presentation of future policy measures, economy minister Robert Habeck in January 2022 said that Germany was failing its emission reduction goals in 2021 and 2022 and was headed for a 15 percent target miss in 2030 if no new measures were deployed.

Structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been used increasingly to investigate typical and atypical brain development. However, in contrast to studies in school-aged children and adults, MRI research in young pediatric age groups is less common. Practical and technical challenges occur when imaging infants and children, which presents clinicians and research teams with a unique set of problems. These include procedural difficulties (e.g., participant anxiety or movement restrictions), technical obstacles (e.g., availability of child-appropriate equipment or pediatric MR head coils), and the challenge of choosing the most appropriate analysis methods for pediatric imaging data. Here, we summarize and review pediatric imaging and analysis tools and present neuroimaging protocols for young nonsedated children and infants, including guidelines and procedures that have been successfully implemented in research protocols across several research sites.

Prince William Posts Prince Louis' Adorable Birthday Pictures
Social Mediatop stories
Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge shared new photos of their youngest child Prince Louis, on social media on the occasion of his 4 years birthday. Prince Louis turned four on Saturday.
Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge marked their Instagram handle with the beach photos of their son Louis. In the picture, Louis can be seen enjoying and playing at the beach with an orange-colored cricket ball.
The pictures were previously clicked by Prince Louis' mother, an ardent photographer, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge while they visited Norfolk, England. Last Friday four photos of Prince Louis were shared by Kensington Palace.
The post is captioned "4 years old tomorrow!" Prince Louis is found to be wearing a grey shirt marked by coloring stars and teal-colored shorts.
Prince William's Youngest Child Looks Adorable And Grown-Up In Photos
Prince Louis was born to the royal parents on 23rd April 2018, at a private maternity Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital in London. Louis was christened by the Archbishop of Canterbury in the Chapel Royal at St James's Palace on July 9, 2018.
Prince William and his wife Kate have continued following the tradition of sharing pictures of their beloved children to wish them on their birthdays. Last year as well the Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge shared pictures of little Prince Louis. He was on his bike visiting the nursery for the first time. Louis started his schooling at the Willcocks Nursery School, in April 2021. The school is near his family's home in Kensington Palace.
Prince Louis, being the youngest child of the Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge, stands fifth in line to the throne. He would be following his grandfather Prince Wales, father Prince William with his two elder brothers Prince George and Prince Charlotte.


Bowyer finished second in the 2012 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series standings and third in the 2008 NASCAR Cup Series standings. He has earned eight NASCAR Cup Series wins and won the 2008 NASCAR Xfinity Series title after leaving his hometown of Emporia, Kansas for racing glory in 2004. He's NASCAR's everyman, whose collar is as blue as his Kansas City Royals hat and has a smile as wide as a wheat field.
The last two seasons of Bowyer's career have been quiet, proving how much of a team sport NASCAR is these days while simultaneously testing Bowyer's trademark smile. Midway through 2015, his two-car Michael Waltrip Racing team announced it was going out of business at the end of the season. Bowyer needed a temporary home in 2016 before joining Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) in 2017, so he drove for HScott Motorsports, a team that was still early in its development. Results were scarce, forcing Bowyer to persevere until he was back front and center with SHR.
He'll now climb into a car worthy of his skill as he replaces future Hall of Famer Tony Stewart in the No. 14 Ford Fusion. Stewart retired from his NASCAR driving duties upon the conclusion of the 2016 season, ending an 18-year NASCAR Cup Series career that netted three championship and 49 wins. Stewart chose Bowyer as his heir apparent to the No. 14, pairing Bowyer with the meticulous Mike "Buga" Bugarewicz, who in his first year as a crew chief, engineered a victory for Stewart at Sonoma (Calif.) Raceway that put Stewart into the Chase for the NASCAR Cup one final time.
Bowyer isn't the only new addition to SHR in 2017.
Since its inception in 2009, SHR has posted 36 victories and two championships with Stewart (2011) and Harvick (2014). And to stay ahead of the curve and continue its title-winning tendencies, SHR announced on Feb. 24, 2016 that it had reached an agreement with Dearborn, Michigan-based Ford Motor Company as its new manufacturer and would field Ford Fusions beginning in 2017.
While the team and driver are starting fresh with new Ford Fusions powered by Roush-Yates Engines, Bowyer and the No. 14 team are buoyed by the resources available from Ford.
Bowyer's return to prominence will be a boon to NASCAR. The former dirt racer boasts success on every type of track the series visits. Three of his eight career NASCAR Cup Series victories have come on short tracks, with a pair of wins on restrictor-plate tracks, another pair on ultra-fast 1.5-mile tracks, and a road-course victory. He's won everywhere and he's won in everything. He's twice finished in the top-five in the standings and earned eight victories in NASCAR's Xfinity Series and three in the Camping World Truck Series.
There's more to Bowyer than his skills behind the wheel of a racecar. Family, roots and racing seem to be at the heart of all of his endeavors.
Growing up, their three Bowyer boys were never far apart. Andy, 39, Clint, 37 and Casey, 35, were racing dirt bikes in Emporia dreaming of motocross careers. As they grew older, Andy went to California and enjoyed a successful motorcycle racing career before injury sent his career to the much safer work of race promotor. Clint moved to NASCAR and Casey started a family in Kansas after running a car dealership at the age of 20. As Clint's NASCAR success grew, he knew he needed help from people he could trust, so Andy and Casey moved to North Carolina to help their brother's growing career. Casey is president of Clint Bowyer Racing while Andy now works for Feld Entertainment as a digital marketing specialist and host of Supercross Race Day Live.
There's a new generation of post-Kansas Bowyers, as well. Clint and wife Lorra welcomed Cash Aaron Bowyer to the world in October 2014, and joining Cash was little sister Presley Elizabeth in December 2016. A weekend doesn't go by inside the driver motorhome lot at racetracks when Clint or Lorra aren't supervising Cash's laps around the neighborhood in his battery-powered racecar.
Bowyer's current home is in North Carolina, but he hasn't turned his back on Kansas, especially the 25,000 residents of Emporia. He returns often to deer hunt, visit friends or just be part of the community. In March 2013, he bought the Clint Bowyer Autoplex car dealership on U.S. Highway 50, where he once worked as a lot attendant, dent specialist and detailer.
Across the street sits the Clint Bowyer Community Building, constructed in 2012 thanks to a $1.5 million donation from his foundation. Inside are 25 new computers at the public library, a scoreboard at the aquatic center, a video camera at the auditorium, shoes for the Big Brothers-Big Sisters program, backpacks for kids, Christmas trees for needy families, and in nearby towns, playground equipment and the reconstruction of a tornado-ravaged community center – all of it and more paid for by Bowyer\'s foundation, or out of the driver's own pocket.
Bowyer's loyal to the short-track, grassroots racing that's prevalent across the country. It gave him his start and he's paid that luck forward by starting Bowyer Dirt Motorsports (BDM) in 2008 after he built cars fielded in Tony Stewart's Prelude to the Dream charity dirt Late Model race at Eldora Speedway. Bowyer finished second and Jimmie Johnson finished 10th in that 2008 edition of the Prelude in Bowyer-built cars. In 2010, Johnson won the Prelude and Bowyer finished second in BDM cars. Since its inception, the two-car BDM team has won scores of dirt races and captured the 2014 championship in the Late Model dirt series with driver Don O'Neal. BDM is set to field cars for O'Neal and Darrel Lanigan in 2017.
Dirt is where Bowyer came from. He began racing motocross in 1985, collecting more than 200 wins and several championships. After moving from motorcycles to cars with success, Bowyer was gaining a reputation with success at Lakeside and I-70 Speedways in Kansas City. Scott Traylor and some local Kansas City businessmen built and put Bowyer in an ARCA car at Nashville (Tenn.) Speedway in August 2003, and Bowyer led 47 laps before finishing second.
Watching on television that night was Richard Childress, who liked what he saw and later called Bowyer, offering him a chance in NASCAR with his Richard Childress Racing (RCR) team. Childress's call to Bowyer, who was working in the body shop at the car dealership in Emporia is now legendary. A woman with a Southern accent asked if he would take a call from Richard Childress.
The woman, who turned out to be Childress' secretary, said, "No, no, no. I'm serious." The next voice on the phone was Childress, who laughingly asked Bowyer if he really was about to hang up?
"No, sir, no, sir," Bowyer replied on the other end of the line, stuttering.
They story ends with everyone living happily ever after. Bowyer drove in 17 Xfinity Series races for RCR in 2004, then full-time in 2005 and 2006. He won three times, finishing second and third in the standings those years. RCR realized Bowyer's talent and added full-time NASCAR Cup Series racing in 2006. The following season, Bowyer earned his first career victory at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon on Sept. 16, 2007 on his way to a third-place finish in the championship standings.
After reducing Bowyer's Xfinity Series schedule so he could concentrate on the NASCAR Cup Series in 2007, RCR returned him to full-time work in both series in 2008 with even better-than-expected results. Bowyer won the Xfinity Series title in 2008, plus the NASCAR Cup Series race at Richmond (Va.) International Raceway in May. In his time with RCR from 2004 to 2011, Bowyer won eight Xfinity Series and five NASCAR Cup Series races.
In 2011, Bowyer was in demand in the garage and moved to Michael Waltrip Racing (MWR), where he rewrote the performance expectations of first-year drivers and teams. Bowyer won the road-course race at Sonoma (Calif.) Raceway, then won the Richmond (Va.) International Raceway and Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway races in the fall. Bowyer finished second in points that season. In 2013 at MWR, he posted 10 top-five results on his way to a seventh-place finish in the standings. The 2014 season saw the team and organization struggle, but Bowyer put up five top-five and 15-top-10 finishes.
Bowyer's 2015 season began with promise, but MWR co-owner Rob Kauffman announced in August he was closing the team at the end of the season. That left Bowyer looking for a place to race in 2016.
"It was like one door was closing and, as you were getting over the shock, another opened to probably the best opportunity of my life," Bowyer said, referring to SHR's decision to hire him to replace Stewart in 2017.
While waiting for his 2017 driving duties to begin, Bowyer drove for HScott Racing as he helped the upstart team. The results certainly didn't reflect his abilities, but Bowyer hasn't lost any of the skills that made him one of the sport's top drivers when he was in equal equipment to his competitors.
When that happens, everyone will welcome back Clint Bowyer.


A friend asked me this week, "How do you get to inner stillness?" I thought it was an interesting question, since stillness isn't actually a place to get to, but rather a whole eternal internal infinite dimension out of which our life experience and the third dimension arises.
Taking our attention off of the cacophony of the external world, taking our attention off of the noise of the daily routine, taking our attention off of the drama of everyday life and the incessant inner monologue of the intellect, returns us to stillness.
So many of us love to be in nature. Being in nature elicits stillness from us, because nature reverberates Stillness. And, like a tuning fork, if we stop and listen to the quietness of nature, whether in our backyard or, taking in the beauty and quietness of a vista view, the reverberation of nature catalyzes that Stillness realm within, through the tuning fork of its own Stillness. Stillness is not static, it is alive and pulsing with the music of beauty and joy.


Happy Wednesday, beauties! Today we were feeling extremely inspired by the color purple. So we decided to create a collection of all of the beautiful and unique ways this vibrant color can be incoorporated into your sacred space! Purple is usuaully a color that is used as an accent, but we've been seeing it used more and more as the main color scheme and we have to admit, it's kind of fabulous. Symbolically, purple is usually associated with royalty, power, nobility, luxury, and ambition. Not only is it a bold and wild color, purple also carries significant benefits to us; physcially, mentally and emotionally.

Q: How to read each line of a textfile into a 2D array in Java I am trying to create a login system in Java and I have saved admin information in a text file in this format:
Hannah,Joshua,Female,373ac,admin123

Leena,Kevin,Female,3283c,admin123

The fourth index (373ac) is their username and fifth (admin123) is the password. Each admin will get a new username and a separate line in the file.
Each time an admin logs in, they will input their name and the program should search through the file with the line that starts with their name and compare the username and password, so they can log in. I think the best way is a 2D array. I have this code so far but it's not reading it as a 2D array but just one array with all the lines. Like this:
[Hannah,Joshua,Female,373ac,admin123,Leena,Kevin,Female,3283c,admin123]

Can you please help me out?
public class ReadFile {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        BufferedReader bufReader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("Admin.txt"));
        ArrayList<String> listofLines = new ArrayList<>();

        String line = bufReader.readLine();
        while (null != (line = in.readLine())) {
            listofLines.add(line);
        }

        bufReader.close();

        int [][] map = new int[bufReader.size()][];
        int q = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < map.length; q++) {
            String[] rooms = bufReader.get(i).split(",");
            map[i] = new int[rooms.length];

            for (int w = 0; w < rooms.length; w++) {
                map[q][w] = Integer.parseInt(rooms[w]);
            }

            System.out.println(Arrays.toString(map[q]));
        }
    }
}

A: You're populating listofLines but never using it
Instead of iterating based on bufReader, why not utilize listofLines?
Also, why are you using both i and q as indexes? One seems sufficient
Edit: The int[][] array should also be String[][]
String [][] map = new String[listofLines.size()][];

for (int i = 0;i<map.length;i++){

    String[] rooms = listofLines.get(i).split(",");
    map[i] = new int[rooms.length];

    for(int w = 0; w<rooms.length;w++){
        map[i][w] = rooms[w];
    }

    System.out.println(Arrays.toString(map[i]));
}

Also, if you want to make your code more succinct
String [][] map = new String[listofLines.size()][];

for (int i = 0;i<map.length;i++){

    map[i] = listofLines.get(i).split(",");

    System.out.println(Arrays.toString(map[i]));
}

For your bufReader try changing the code to this
String line = bufReader.readLine();
while (line != null) {
    listofLines.add(line);
    line = bufReader.readLine();
}

A: You can use Files.lines() to read the file as a Stream<String>.
static String[][] readFileAs2DArray(String fileName) throws IOException {
    try (Stream<String> stream = Files.lines(Path.of(fileName), Charset.defaultCharset())) {
        return stream
            .map(line -> line.split(","))
            .toArray(String[][]::new);
    }
}

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    String[][] result = readFileAs2DArray("Admin.txt");

    for (String[] line : result)
        System.out.println(Arrays.toString(line));
}

output:
[Hannah, Joshua, Female, 373ac, admin123]
[Leena, Kevin, Female, 3283c, admin123]
