The project Let's Dream Together / All Children Together aimed at integrating youth with special needs in the community and at raising public awareness of their rights, talents and capabilities to be productive and independent.
Fifteen students (ages 18-30) with special needs were trained in the use of cameras and the techniques of film editing. Nine talk shows presenting success stories and discussing special needs issues, problems and facilities were produced and broadcast on AQTV. The show's moderator itself was an individual with special needs. The students participated in developing the concept, the filming and editing of the programs, thereby learning theoretical and practical TV production techniques, which will increase their chances of finding a permanent employment in media in future. Furthermore the Institute produced a DVD on special needs youth's integration and distributed copies over schools and youth clubs to promote the rights of special needs youths in the broader community.


After the death of a loved one, you must go through the probate court process to prove the validity of a will or trust. The probate process involves assessing assets, repaying debts and distributing remaining assets to heirs. Without a well-designed will or trust, probate may be a costly and time-intensive process. Our attorney will represent you if you are facing problems with probate.
At the Law Office of Suzanne T. Terada, our seasoned probate litigation lawyer will guide you through the legal process and work to get you appropriate compensation. Attorney Suzanne T. Terada has over two decades of courtroom experience and a long history of favorable case results. Ms. Terada assists both litigants and defendants across Oahu and beyond with their estate litigation and probate cases.
Ms. Terada also handles numerous ancillary probate cases, where the deceased lived on the mainland but owned a timeshare or another property in Hawaii that the family wants to keep.
Probate is a court-mandated process that families must go through after a death. If the departed had a well-designed will or trust that accounts for debts and other obligations, then probate is straightforward. If the estate documents are not clear or other problems arise, a party may bring a claim against the estate. The executor will then agree or disagree with the claim, which may lead to litigation or an out-of-court settlement.
Probate and litigation cases have unique circumstances and there is no catch-all solution. Attorney Suzanne T. Terada will provide you with personalized representation by thoroughly investigating case details and estate documents. She is a compassionate estate planning and probate lawyer who works closely with clients to resolve their disputes.

Our experienced attorney protects trustees and administrators facing litigation. We will help you resolve disputes with co-trustees, estate recipients or other parties.
Courtroom battles between family members or estate claimants are difficult and stressful. At the Law Office of Suzanne T. Terada in Honolulu, our attorney will manage all aspects of your case and represent your interests in court. To speak with a knowledgeable probate attorney, call 808-379-3534 or send us an email.

Penge is an area in south east London, situated within the borough of Bromley. With a number of historical buildings, it's an interesting district. However, it is most known for its high ratio of pubs and taverns, with some such as The Crooked Billet dating back to medieval times or before. The A234, A214 and A213 all run directly through the town, providing access by road while train users have the choice of three railway stations.

Winter is upon in the East, and this weekend will be lots of snow and cold. Many complain at this time of year, but I wonder, winter for me, is a time to slow down, to think more about whether or not I want to drive, and just to be.
A dear friend sent me this article in the New York Times on Kristianstad. The city has crossed a crucial threshold: the city and surrounding county, with a population of 80,000, essentially use no oil, natural gas or coal to heat homes and businesses, even during the long frigid winters. It is a complete reversal from 20 years ago, when all of their heat came from fossil fuels. It generates its energy from biogas, a form of methane, using all of its waste products from agriculture, its landfills and so forth, to generate its energy. Kirstianstad didn't create a new industry, it closed the loop, although a significant infrastructure investment was initially required, Kristianstad has gone further, harnessing biogas for an across-the-board regional energy makeover that has halved its fossil fuel use and reduced the city's carbon dioxide emissions by one-quarter in the last decade.
The start-up costs of the centralized biomass heating system cost $144 million, including constructing a new incineration plant, laying networks of pipes, replacing furnaces and installing generators. The payback has already been significant: the city now saves approximately $4 million each year to heat its municipal buildings rather than it would spend if it still relied on oil and electricity. If the costs of GHG emissions was factored into its savings, they would be even more each year, as we are still far away from having the real costs of production included into the costs of doing business.
So what is stopping us, why do the United States and Canada at the national level drag their feet and resist embracing what is clearly the emerging new economy and social innovation of the future? Reduce your input costs, control your output costs, both of which are going to become increasingly more expensive, now and get a jump start on your competitors.
This amazing, empowering video shows how web video is changing and can change the world, using the ideas of crowd, light and desire. Desire is the critical key and together they form a lethal combination (medium) to attracts people to new ideas, simply invite the crowd, turn up the light and build the desire. Based on a new paradigm of openness, millions of people could be empowered to change the world. The speaker reminds us that the dark side of the world allergic to the light, so how can we use this concept of crowd accelerated innovation for sustainable community development? I throw that challenge out to all of us. Innovation comes from groups, social innovation does not happen without collaboration, a picture, music file, software, under-reported significance of the rise of on-line video, share talent digitally. Its conclusion is one of the powerful visions of how we can remake our world sustainably.
When I started my social capital research over four years ago, my purpose was to try and discover how to use network formation before a crisis to try and mobilize action around environmental issues. We humans are an odd species, in spite of our language, our ability to predict, we seem to respond best to crisis, especially when we can't see, feel or smell them until it is too late, climate change being one of the big ones. This video is a wonderful in terms of explaining how network formation could be used strategically for social change. It also relates to my theme of how to communicate in a meaningful way, what is happening to our world. I would very much appreciate your ideas on how to advance this as a meaningful strategy.
Catch this video that talks about redesigning third places, retrofitting the suburbs. Interesting facts, in American suburbs, households spend over 32% of their budget on transportation, their housing is less, ends with three challenges for the future. Excellent research and hope.

Loughborough Lightning Netball are excited to reveal that captain fantastic Nat Panagarry will return to the side for the upcoming 2019 Vitality Netball Superleague season.
As the first name to be announced in the 2019 line-up, Panagarry was pivotal in ensuring Lightning topped the Superleague table at the end of the regular season in 2017, took the side to a second Grand Final in 2018 and will be hoping it's third time lucky and that the Loughborough University franchise can lift the series crown in 2019.
After a series of departures from the side, including fan favourite Peace Proscovia, Panagarry, who has lead the side for the past two years, will return to Loughborough for her fourth season in purple, fresh off the back of an autumn tour with the England Roses.
Currently in Australia competing in the Quad Series and then the Fast5 World Series, the 27 year old's success at international level has no doubt stemmed from her development whilst at Loughborough and success in the domestic league. With the national side also based on campus, Nat has combined her role as captain for Lightning perfectly, bringing a wealth of knowledge, leadership and experience to the side.
"I'm really excited to sign for Lightning for a fourth season. I feel like as a club we still have unfinished business within the league & that excites me.
"Lightning have an unbelievable set up for us as athletes and the club is always pushing to be better and grow. I think you can really see how far the team has come in the last two Superleague seasons. With Sara Bayman now taking the role as Head Coach, she's going to bring a huge amount of experience and knowledge to the club. Plus, combining with Assistant Coach Liv Murphy, I can't wait to see their dynamic together.
Lightning's new look team will have their first outing at the British Fast5 All-Stars competition in October, where they will look to defend the title they won 12 months ago.
This announcement comes as the first of many - keep your eyes peeled next week to find out who will be joining Nat in 2019.


While many farmers have been suffering from overdue payments under the rice-pledging project, Mayom Chan-In, a rice farmer in Sing Buri province, is happy with her income and financial stability.
For the past three years, Mayom has been growing an organic variety called Rice Berry. She has no need of any subsidies from the government, as Rice Berry sells in the market for two to three times as much as normal white rice.
Not only that, she says she does not need to queue at millers' warehouses to sell her produce, as traders have already signed contracts to purchase it in advance.
Farmers sell Rice Berry for about Bt70-Bt80 a kilogram. That compares with the current price of white paddy rice at Bt9-Bt10 a kilo.
Mayom says Rice Berry is also less costly to produce. Although it can be difficult to use natural techniques to get rid off pests, Mayom is happier with the living quality and lower cost of production that result from avoiding chemicals. For instance, Mayom does not need to purchase chemical fertiliser, which is very expensive.
The price of Rice Berry seeds is about Bt800 per 15kg tank, while normal white rice grain is only Bt200 per tank. But Mayom says she uses less Rice Berry seed per rai than would be required for regular white rice.
Rice Berry can grow twice a year. Each crop needs about 130 days, slightly more than white rice's 120-day requirement.
Total cost of production for Rice Berry is about Bt3,000 a tonne. At present, the cost of producing a tonne of white rice has climbed to Bt6,000.
In Sing Buri, more than 20 farmers now enjoy stable living costs as they grow Rice Berry. In Mayom's community, the plantation area of more than 200 rai (32 hectares) is owned by more than 20 farmers.
Mayom says her small community is one whose residents have thought about their children's future. They don't want to rely on unpredictable government subsidies, so they have found an alternative rice grain to raise the community's income.
In Nakhon Nayok province, another group of farmers has found an alternative to being at the mercy of unstable rice prices, without relying on the whims of millers or government policy. Farmers in Baan Bu-yong community have established their own mills and warehouses, and encourage their fellow members to grow organic rice.
Ubol Chabathong, president of the community, which produces unpolished organic rice under the Krok Kra Duang brand, says farmers there can sell their organic rice at Bt13,000 a tonne. Each farmer is paid in cash and need not be afraid of high humidity, as the community does not impose any price reductions. They can adjust the quality of their rice on their own.
Farmers can also earn Bt200 a day for collaborating in the community's work, such as packing rice. A small pack of Krok Kra-duang organic unpolished rice sells for Bt45 a kilogram.
The community currently has about 80 farmer members cultivating more than 100 rai of organic-rice plantation area.
Ubol says that since the farmers in her community quit using chemicals in their fields, they had to be very patient, as rice output decreased initially. But over time, after the soil adapted to the use of natural methods, production gradually increased.
Previously, the yield per rai was about 600kg, but now is as high as 900kg per rai (5,625kg per hectare).
"Farmers need to be patient when growing rice with chemical-free methods. They may suffer from lower production at the beginning, but in the long run, higher output will be seen, with a better environment and good health," Ubol said.
According to the Public Health Ministry, chemical toxicity is a risk to farmers. Ubol says that to improve farmers' standard of living and ensure sustainable incomes, the government needs to put more effort into educating them about organic rice and the impacts from using chemical substances.
In the past, when she used chemicals and joined the government's subsidy projects, Ubol saw low returns on her investment, a low quality of life, and illness from the products she was using. But after joining a provincial training programme five years ago, she adopted organic methods under the sufficiency-economy principle. Today, she is quite happy with her life, as she has no debt. Meanwhile her neighbours also have better living standards after making the same changes she did.
According to the Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives, the government has issued pledging documents to about 1.91 million farmers, but fewer than 800,000 have been paid in full, covering about 5.86 million tonnes of the total 11.61 million tonnes of pledged paddy. The arrears to almost 1.2 million farmers amounts to more than Bt90 billion.
Wanlop Pichpongsa, former president and secretary-general of the Thai Organic Trade Association, says that growing organic or premium rice grains could be the answer for some farmers, but not all. As most farmers live outside irrigation areas, they still have to rely on government support.
Moreover, the market demand for organic rice and other premium grains is still small, accounting for only 1-2 per cent of the total, he explained.
"Organic and premium-grain rice are very much a niche market, though rising health consciousness has increased demand in some markets," said Wanlop, who is also deputy managing director of Capital Cereal, one of the country's leading rice traders.
Capital Cereal sells organic rice locally and overseas, but its sales account for less than 1 per cent of the company's total.
Wanlop says cultivation of organic rice can boost farmers' incomes as well as improving their living standards and protecting the environment. However, the government should help find markets to warrant higher production.
He agreed that the pledging programme was unstable and created a major fiscal burden for the country, and was continued for too long. But the government still needs to give some assistance to farmers.
So the bottom line is that growing organic or premium rice may be a small solution for some farmers. But Thailand spends a huge amount of money on agricultural subsidies each year. Are there any long-term and far-reaching ways to increase and stabilise farmers' incomes? We examine this question next week in the final instalment of this three-part series on rice policy.

Editor's Note: When is vacation pay supplemental wages and/or reported as a special wage payment?
Overview: Payments made to employees while they are on vacation are subject to federal income (FIT) and FICA (Social Security and Medicare) tax withholding and federal unemployment (FUTA) tax as if they were regular wages. However, vacation pay paid in addition to employees' regular wages is treated as supplemental wages. This includes bonuses paid to employees who work through their vacations, lump sum payments to employees of their accumulated leave paid on termination, and annual payments to employees of their unused vacation time.
Vacation pay paid to employees from a fund established under a union agreement is subject to income tax withholding by the union when employees take vacation. The employer is required to withhold and pay FICA and FUTA on these payments.
Supplemental wages. Employers must keep track of employees' supplemental wages because different income tax withholding rules apply depending on the total amount of employees receive in a year, i.e., $1 million or less or over $1 million. Employers should also check the law of the states in which they pay employees. Many states allow flat rate withholding from supplemental wages at rates that vary widely, while other states require supplemental wages to be aggregated. A handful of states do not provide a supplemental wage tax rate at all.
Special wage payments. Payments to current or former employees of accrued but unused vacation pay may also be considered special wage payments (SWPs) if the amounts were earned in one year but paid in a subsequent year. Employers need to notify the Social Security Administration (SSA) about SWPs because of the effect they have on Social Security benefits received by those under age 65. For these individuals, when SWPs are included in earned income, the amount of their monthly benefits is reduced. SWPs must generally be reported by employers on Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, in the year they are received by the employee. Employers also must report to the SSA any SWPs made in a year to fully retired employees and employees who are collecting Social Security benefits but are still working. Reports are not required for employees under age 62. Reports must be filed with the SSA by April 1.
Updated to include the Michigan paid sick leave law, effective March 29, 2019.
Alaska employers seeking to indicate that Alaska employees will receive pay for vacation upon termination of employment should consider including this model policy statement in their handbook.
North Dakota employers that provide paid vacation or paid time off (PTO) and seek to indicate that North Dakota employees will receive pay for accrued but unused vacation or PTO upon termination of employment should consider including this model policy statement in their handbook.
This section helps HR professionals understand the value of offering different forms of paid leave (e.g., vacation time, personal time and holidays). This section also discusses the use of paid time off banks.
Illinois employers that provide paid vacation or paid time off (PTO) are required by state law to pay employees for accrued but unused vacation days or PTO upon termination of employment and should consider including this model policy statement in their handbook.
Massachusetts employers that provide paid vacation or paid time off (PTO) and seek to indicate that Massachusetts employees will receive pay for accrued but unused vacation or PTO upon termination of employment.should consider including this model policy statement in their handbook.
Louisiana employers that provide paid vacation or paid time off (PTO) and seek to indicate that Louisiana employees will receive pay for accrued but unused vacation or PTO upon termination of employment should consider including this model policy statement in their handbook.

Do You Love Your Dog More Than Anything? You Can Now Clone Them and Make Another One!
Barbara Streisand isn't a celebrity we mention very often here, but this story literally feels like it's out of the Twilight Zone. Streisand told Variety that she cloned her dog. As in, she took DNA from her late dog Samantha, and cloned two new dogs using those genetics. This isn't Jurassic Park, this is actual science that is possible in 2018.
While it might sound a little morbid and definitely strange, I'd consider doing this. I love my corgi Marky Mark to absolute pieces, and when he passes away (even though he promised me that he never would) I'd do anything to have another day with him. Good news is, you don't need to be some Hollywood elite-type to clone your dog. But you are gonna need about $50,000.
If you actually are interested in cloning your doggo, this company in Texas will happily take your American dollars in exchange for a new (but, old?) pup.

I like that jbganswers site - not. It tells you how you can send a comment to TWC, but nowhere does it allow you to leave a comment to JBG. I'd really like to tell JBG how much I think TWC should be paying them.

mrschimpf
Well, today's rhetoric from Journal has gotten very nasty, worse than anything involving last year's Hearst/TWC situation. Now they're saying on the glacial ticker 'Don't be fooled by the exaggerated claims of your cable provider; TWC threatens to take TMJ4 off the air on July 24. For a half-penny more they could wrap up this negotiation and keep the channel on the air for you.' Then a phone number drop to annoy Time Warner; the boilerplate is the same on WGBA.
So...now it's only a half-penny. Of what? Per day, per week? And how much extra does this 'half-penny' add to your fee? I wish we knew the answer, but Journal isn't telling us. And now they're bringing in the completely unrelated CBS-TWC dispute in, which at least has the threat of Showtime and Smithsonian getting pulled and is a little more involved. Here, it's Journal lying that Time Warner will take the station away on the 24th, when it's Journal who pulls the signal without an agreement.
As far as I've known from these disputes, the station groups who get greedy about disputes usually don't end up getting too much and get pulled for longer periods of time. This looks like one of them.
Quote from: REVM1M;59490 So, if i could get programing from NBC on demand, why would I care , about TMJ4 , because all they have is: NEWS, WEATHER,NEWS, WEATHER, NEWS, WEATHER...............
Or Weather, Weather, News, News, Infomercial. Infomercial, Weather, Weather, News, News. The Tonight Show, occasional weekend sports that are good TV. I think may account for about 25% of their shows. 75% is a big weather, news, infomercial station. Where do they get this "Half a penny more, vs. TWC's claims of a 200 or 250% increase?" Who is right in these figures? Can anyone show how "a half a penny more equates to a 200% increase, (some sites have said 250%.) I suck at Math, but still say that is a HUGE disparity on each side.

Time Warner taking TMJ4 "off the air" ? What air? Does Time Warner Cable control WTMJ's broadcast antennas now?
I was under the impression that the entire point of a cable provider was not to use "the air" as their transmission medium.
Time Warner is taking WTMJ "off the wire." There'll be plenty of their crappy channel remaining "on the air."

Looked like TWC as a whole is playing hardball with retransmission fees.

You can tell the truth by how he answered the first question, and by the 2 questions they chose NOT to allow to be posted and refused to answer:
https://twitter.com/MilwaukeeHDTV
Q: 1 So if there's no agreement by midnight who really physically takes the TMJ4 signal off the lineup, JBG or TWC?
A: At midnight, without an agreement, they have the option to drop the station from their lineup.
Following two questions were submitted but not allowed to be posted, nor were they answered:
Q: Sure they have the option. But you know they won't take you off if you're still feeding them the signal at midnight. If 4 is not available, won't it be because you stopped feeding it to them?
Q: If my math is correct, your "pennies per subscriber" extends out to a demand that TWC pay JBG hundreds of thousands of dollars more per year than what they have been paying. Is that close?
I hope TWC doesn't give in and pay those greedy TMJ4 people.
I thought Time Warner received TMJ's signal via antennas just like we do?
Or do they have a fiber hookup to them?

Quote from: Tom Snyder;59499 You can tell the truth by how he answered the first question, and by the 2 questions they chose NOT to allow to be posted and refused to answer:
I could see things a slightly different way than you. Like you, I note his specific phrasing "they have the option to drop the station." My followup question to him would have been "If TWC continued to carry the signal following the deadline as you suggest, would that put them at risk of legal or financial repercussions from Journal Communications?"
In other words, sure TWC "has the option" to carry TMJ without a contract. And Journal "has the option" to seek penalties from TWC if they choose to do so.
Journal isn't going to just allow TWC to carry WTMJ without a contract. That's part of the whole upshot behind the Aereo dispute, that Aereo hasn't entered a re-transmission consent agreement with the broadcasters. For Journal to imply that TWC could continue on rebroadcasting WTMJ after the contract is disingenuous at best. Even if WTMJ leaves their fiber feed to TWC up and running, which I fully think they might do, TWC would be daft if they continued to use it without a contract.
Quote from: PONIES;59501 I thought Time Warner received TMJ's signal via antennas just like we do?
I think for the full-power stations in Milwaukee, they have a fiber link. They also have an antenna farm in Brookfield (Town) at the dead-end of Janacek Ct. that is primary for those they don't have a fiber link to, and backup for those they do. It also is at least one of their satellite downlink facilities.
I posted the following at TWC's Untangled Blog regarding the fee dispute between TWC and Journal Broadcasting and the fee dispute between CBS channels in some markets, (not ours) as well as Showtime and their sister channels, which because they are owned by CBS could be dropped in all markets:
I posted this at TWC's Untangled Blog:
I support TWC in the fight to keep the costs of cable reasonable. I understand and appreciate that both businesses have to be compensated for their programing due to inflation and rising costs, but at an increase of 600%? That's INSANE! The 200% demanded by Journal Broadcasting for its stations is bad enough.
CBS and Journal Broadcasting need to realize that their enemy is NOT TWC. It is the fact that station credibility is lost when businesses hold customers hostile in these negotiations, where good people who pay potentially hundreds of dollars a month are being treated like pawns with each side going to war. It is frustrating. Remember that ALL Cable, Dish, Telephone, and mobile companies are bound by Retransmission Contract disputes, so if customers switch providers, they could face the same blackout consequences when CBS comes up for renewal on Direct TV, or Dish Network, or ANY third-party TV provider.
In some respects, Ala Carte programing may help for small one to two-person households who are in agreement with what they like to watch. The problem is with larger families who rely in TV for entertainment, news, and educational services. How many people can actually agree on what services they would want to watch in an Ala-Carte channel model? How many channels are loved by some people, and hated by others even in the same household? In larger households, interests in what channels represent value may be too diverse where one may have to question how much money would be saved, over the conveyance of TWC Triple Play bundles. In my experience, I like the Triple Play better than Ala Carte. However, I use Internet, Cable TV, and Phone every day. For people that don't, smaller packages might help.
Regardless of service levels, customers want a fair and reasonable price to pay for cable that they can afford. CBS SHOULD LOOK AT THE LOSS OF REVENUE FOR THEM FROM TWC IF THEY CHOOSE TO DROP SHOWTIME FROM ALL TWC SYSTEMS! IN FACT, CBS LOSES MORE REVENUE AND RESPECT FROM THE PUBLIC TRUST BY THREATENING TO REMOVE THEIR PROGRAMING, THAN CHOOSING TO NEGOTIATE A FAIR AND REASONABLE DEAL THAT REPRESENTS THE BEST INTEREST OF CABLE CUSTOMERS IN TRYING ECONOMIC TIMES.

Well, it happened this week. I gained. 1.8 pounds. Erasing two weeks' worth of loss. I'm frustrated. I'm not exactly surprised since I ate heavily last weekend and went over my daily points almost every day this week. But I also exercised a lot more and never felt like I was going overboard, eating as much as I would have used to. I kind of expected a gain, but not almost two pounds. I'm mad at myself. And mad at how good food tastes, continuing to tempt me.
Anyway, there's no use obsessing over what I did wrong, I just need to refocus and do better next week. I started by taking a ninety minute walk pushing the boys in the double stroller this afternoon. It was completely exhausting, but energizing at the same time. I figured I better take advantage of these last few days of nice weather before I'm stuck inside all the time. Winter is the time to resort to exercise videos, not when it's beautiful outside.
Overall, it's just been a pretty rough week around here. I've had an extremely hard time getting motivated to do much of anything. Caden and Shepard are both still sick and have been in terrible moods. I have no patience for it anymore. I did try and turn things around a few times, like when we went to a petting farm on Tuesday for a few hours. I went on a brisk walk alone last night which was nice. And of course our long walk today which included a stop at a pumpkin stand and tiny dishes of ice cream for the boys. We usually have good days when we leave the house. Being at home is when things get rough.
At any rate, this next week should be exciting. Tomorrow I'm going to Cranberry Fest with my parents – one of my favorite days of the year! If you like craft fairs and live within a few hours of Warrens, WI you NEED to go to Cranberry Fest. It's amazing. Then next week is our first week of Caden needing to be somewhere every single day. I'm not really looking forward to that much running around, but it'll be good for all of us sticking to a more regular schedule. Then next weekend is my birthday! Lots of happy days coming! I'm just trying not to focus on my weight gain this week and think about how much better I'm definitely going to do next week. I can't get stuck only five weeks in.

I was looking on the Disney Rewards site to print out a coupon for the new Bambi blu-ray release coming out this week and was very surprised to also see an offer for Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind as well. So the deal is this: If you own ANY Studio Ghibli film (I assume only those put out by Disney), you can enter the UPC code on the Disney site and get a coupon good for $10 off the March 8 release of the Nausicaa blu-ray/dvd combo.
You have to register with Disney Rewards, which is free. I bet Disney ends up doing this with all upcoming Miyazaki blu-ray releases since it's called an "upgrade" offer. You can only print out one coupon. The added bonus is that Disney usually gives you a $10 off coupon for almost every new release of their films if you are a member.

Escape from New York Appreciation Thread
HelloKitty February 19, 2003, 10:04pm #1
Caught this one on a cable movie channel this afternoon. What a great flick!!! Snake Plissken kicks much ass, Kurt Russel is perfect in the role. One drawback was the tres cheesy 80's synthesizer soundtrack. And the president played by…Donald Pleasance!!! Yeah…it could happen.
The Harry Dean Stanton rule is in effect, and we even get treated to Ernest Borgnine!!
I never saw Escape from L.A.; something tells me it would pale in comparison with this one. I think along with John Carpenter's The Thing EFNY rates as an underrated sci fi classic.

IIRC The cheesy synth music was written by Carpenter himself.
Also, I remember my friend at the time being rivetted by the 3D computer display on the glider as he flies it around the NY skyscrapers. I didn't find out for nearly 2 decades that Carpenter did this by putting reflective tape along the angles of cardboard boxes and sweeping a camera through them. Love it!!

I read this on IMDB this afternoon and was totally mesmerized during this scene because of it. How ingenious!! They don't make effects like they used to, huh…?
It also says on IMDB that none other than James Cameron painted the matte of a darkened NYC skyline for the movie.

December of this year, apparently. From Corona's Test Pattern:
The features at this point include:
Retrospective Documentary
NEW Audio Commentary by John Carpenter and Kurt Russell
10 Minutes of Deleted Scenes (including the "lost" original opening of the film)
Does anyone know if the original commentary track from the laser disc release is on the current, bare-bones DVD? I might grab a copy of it for that, but I'm waiting for December otherwise.
[sub]And personally, I liked EFLA, too. Yeah it was cheesy and hokey, but so was EFNY once upon a time. Though Carpenter really should have gotten Jamie Lee Curtis back to do the intro, again. They're both still fun flicks.[/sub]

DO NOT see Escape from LA. The movie is an almost exact remake of the first (I am not kidding, you really wonder to yourself who they thought they were kidding.) that is ten times more expensive and three times as bad (I did the math).
Skip February 20, 2003, 10:41am #15
Yeah this was a cool film. And as an added trivia, Jamie Lee Curtis is the voice of the narrator/computer in the beginning.
airdisc February 20, 2003, 1:49pm #16
God, I used to worship Escape From LA when I was in sixth grade. I watched it again a few months ago. It was hilariously stupid.
Escape From NY however, is still a good movie.

Ahem. **And ** it has Adrienne Barbeau at her foxiest. Can't ask for more than that.
Jonathan_Chance February 20, 2003, 2:27pm #18
Hey, EFLA has Bruce Campbell.
That alone gives it cool points in my book.

No commentary on the current DVD. No-frills release.
There were rumors that MGM's negotiations to license the old laserdisc commentary had gone nowhere, so it's possible they recorded a new one for the upcoming SE.

This is how strong the wind will get during the Met Office warning
The wind warning spans over FOUR days and will reach up to 70mph in some areas
Updated 08:55, 7 FEB 2019
The Met Office has issued two weather warnings for wind which span over four days - and forecast speeds of 70mph in some areas.
The yellow warning comes into place for the whole of Devon and Cornwall this evening (February 6) at 10pm through to Thursday at 9am, returning again at 12pm on Friday until 6pm on Saturday.
The warnings say to expect delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport while high-sided vehicles such as lorries and caravans may be temporarily banned from bridges - including the Tamar Bridge.
There could be power cuts, and drivers are likely to find trees down and debris in the road on Thursday morning.
Four day double wind warnings issued by Met Office
A Met Office spokesman said: "A period of very strong and gusty winds is likely on Wednesday night and Thursday morning. Strongest winds will be across South West England and South and West Wales late evening, with gusts of 60 to 70mph on coasts and 50 to 60mph inland.
"Elsewhere winds will be strongest after midnight, with gusts of 60mph on coasts and 50mph inland before easing during Thursday morning."
It comes as a low pressure system sits off the South West coast bringing days of worsening winds and persistent rain. Heavy rain and high winds are forecast for the whole of Devon and Cornwall by Friday.

The strongest winds will be at around 12pm on Friday.
Saturday wind speeds will be around the low to mid 20s with gusts reaching a maximum of 40mph.
On Wednesday evening, heavy rain is forecast from 9pm and wind speed will reach a maximum of 34mph with gusts of 52mph.

Saturday wind speeds will reach 31mph with gusts of 45mph.
Winds will then average at around the mid 20s with gusts reaching a maximum of 36mph.

Q: Explaining the index expression of a random variable list This is my question, I have random variables with index i = 1, 2,...,k.
I want to understand what this expression l = k - i, means in a simple form.
I think l is the total number of the variables from 1,...,k.
Can some assist me to interpret what l is from the expression above?
Thanks in advance

A: Cleansing my crystal ball, I see the next:
l = k - i

is number of items after i-th one.
 1   2   3     4   5  :   k

Well, except for my cat. But basically, I live alone. I have lived alone for the past 5 years, and in that time I've come to believe that living alone is a very, very important life experience. There's something indescribably gratifying about knowing that I can keep a household running all by myself. Every piece of furniture in my apartment is where it is because I put it there – and I also picked each of those pieces out and paid for them myself. There's food in the fridge because I bought it. I alone pay the rent every month, plus all the other monthly bills. I've learned how to hang pictures, how to paint walls, how to unclog drains.
In short, living alone has taught me – in very concrete terms – that I can successfully lead an independent home life, and I really believe that this experience has been priceless.
But that doesn't mean that it has come free – or even cheap. I'm currently paying $1,007 per month for the privilege of living by myself, and at 38% of my take-home pay, I know that this is way too expensive. Living alone is an ostensibly bad financial decision, especially when you're in your 20's and living with roommates is still socially acceptable. But even when I had my financial "awakening" a few years ago, I refused to give up living by myself. In fact, I never even seriously considered it as an option.
In short, I chose a good life decision over a good financial decision. I think even the most ardently frugal among us have done the same at some point in their lives, whether it was the decision to get divorced, have a child, move cross-country, or quit a toxic job. These decisions are sometimes deeply painful and, again, costly, but most of us end up better off as a result of forging ahead with them.
What about you? When have you made a good life decision over a good financial decision? Tell me your story!


4pm EDT. Can we shut this down now officially?
2nd half was weird for sure given how good they looked in the first. Jags came out start of 3rd and ran a 17 play drive eating a ton of clock. Colts had a holding penalty and went three and out their first 3rd qtr Drive. That was really all they got in the 3rd. Lucks INT in the 4th should have been a huge gain but it was a bad drop/tip by Mo Alie-Cox. They turtled up a bit rest of the 4th with short drives and ineffective running. Luck has looked great and no reason to see it stop as the line continues to improve.
Well what do you know. Another Colts receiver has a ball go through his hands and results in an INT. Colts skill players have just awful hands.
I think a lot of us are in that same boat. Greg the leg simply has too much upside to not try and hold him for a week or two. Plus LAR play against Bears and Eagles in weeks 14 and 15. Both good defenses which could mean more stalled drives in the redzone.
He is going to absolutely destroy PIT next Monday night at home.
Plugged him in with Fournette out. So pleased with the result. Didn't get to see any of the game but can't wait to see his snaps. Hopefully SSND does his highlights this week!
Lol. Team quitting on fat Matt?
Guy is just shook. Need to sit him at this point.
Safety's who will spend some time at LB?
From what I have read he isn't filling in for Jones..he beat him out for that slot during camp and offseason. Norton had that in his preseason week 3 Eyes of the Guru article too https://subscribers.footballguys.com/apps/article.php?article=2018-eyes-guru-preseason-wk3 Jones was inactive w ankle injury so maybe it's more of a timeshare going forward but we will have to monitor.
Totally agree. It was only a 4 yard or so pass but TD to Hilton was definitely gunned in there. Perhaps best thing for me was knowing he threw it 53 times and was looking better as the game went on. Throw to Doyle at the end was a strike and likely would have led to a Colt W if Doyle doesn't fumble it away.
Wasn't looking to do,it but he is just too good of a value this year so I'm onboard again. Hoping to get 10 games out of him.
Tagging as I got him super late last night. Feels like a lottery ticket type player that I couldn't resist.
Lots of talk about what owners might think of him and who might give him a chance in the future. I think the bigger problem he will face is who on earth would agree to be his coordinators after seeing what he did to the guys he brought on board for the Colts. Would any hot prospect OC or DC want to trust and work for McDaniels? I doubt it. And that means as a HC he's going to have trouble assembling talent.
Jury is still out on O'Brien but 3 seasons at 9-7 in a weak AFC South and then 4-12 last season. Not exactly stellar stuff. Yeah they had a ton of injuries but still not impressed with them yet.
In. As you guys have already said, I'm also hoping they trade down and pick up some additional picks. It does seem like McDaniels is our guy. Not sure I feel about that. He flamed out in DEN and no BB coach has had success outside of NE. Can Josh be the first in Indy?
***OFFICIAL NFC CHAMPIONSHIP THREAD*** Eagles going to the Bowl!!!!
Ajayi wasn't a huge factor but man does he run hard. Sets a tone for the offense.
dominant performance by PHL tonight. Super impressive. Defense is legit and incredible offensive play calling.
As one of millions who will be rooting for PHL against NE I sincerely hope their DL can pressure and hit Brady all game. JAX did great first half but wasn't touching him in the 4th quarter when Brady did what Brady does.

Q: Get href value of itemprop with JQuery I am trying to get all the href values having itemprop="url", inside main div
HTML :

 Hello 1

 Hello 2

JQuery :

$(('meta[itemprop="url"]'), '#main').each(function(){
  var url = $(this).attr('href');
  console.log (url);
});

A: You don't need the 'meta` part in your selector.

$(('[itemprop="url"]'), '#main').each(function(){
            var url = $(this).attr('href');
            console.log (url);
        });

 Hello 1

 Hello 2

A: Change the selector like this $('#main').find('a[itemprop="url"]') .

*

*find () target the innerElement of main .Apply the attr selector with itemprop="url"

*No need to add meta with in a selector

$('#main').find('a[itemprop="url"]').each(function() {
  var url = $(this).attr('href');
  console.log(url);
});

 Hello 1

 Hello 2

A: You can use the overview-top class as a JQuery selector and then the attribute selector as [itemprop="url"] inside the find

$('.overview-top').find('[itemprop="url"]').each(function(){
    var url = $(this).attr('href');
    console.log (url);
});

 Hello 1

 Hello 2

A: HTML
Example
Example

jQuery
$(document).ready(function () {
  const array = [];
  $('.link').each(function() {
    array.push($(this).attr('href');
  });
});

Fiddle:
https://jsfiddle.net/9fg6bb85/1/

A: Jquery can't find element meta with attribute itemprop so your example not working. You can search for any element that has attribute itemprop as in my example... or instead of meta set a element which will find only link elements

$(function(){
  $('[itemprop="url"]', '#main').each(function(){
    console.log($(this).attr('href'));
  })
})

 Hello 1

 Hello 2

HomeCOMMENTARYJeremy Corbyn Accused of Being Russian "Collaborator" for Questioning NATO Troop Build-Up on Border
Jeremy Corbyn Accused of Being Russian "Collaborator" for Questioning NATO Troop Build-Up on Border
January 18, 2017 Pam Barker COMMENTARY, GOVERNMENT 0
THE LEADER OF the UK's Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, called for a "de-escalation" of tensions between NATO and Russia, adding in a BBC interview on Thursday: "I want to see a de-militarisation of the border between them." Along with the U.S., the UK has been rapidly building up its military presence in the Baltic region, including states which border Russia, and is now about to send another 800 troops to Estonia, 500 of which will be permanently based.
In response, Russia has moved its own troops within its country near those borders, causing serious military tensions to rise among multiple nuclear-armed powers. Throughout 2016, the Russian and U.S. militaries have engaged in increasingly provocative and aggressive maneuvers against one another. This week, the U.S. began deploying 4,000 troops to Poland, "the biggest deployment of US troops in Europe since the end of the cold war."
It was in this context that Corbyn said it is "unfortunate that troops have gone up to the border on both sides," adding that "he wanted to see better relations between Russia, NATO and the EU." The Labour leader explained that while Russia has engaged in serious human rights abuses both domestically and in Syria, there must be a "better relationships between both sides . . . there cannot be a return to a Cold War mentality."
The response to Corbyn's call for better relations and de-escalation of tensions with Moscow was swift and predictable. The armed forces minister for Britain's right-wing government, Mike Penning, accused Corbyn of being a collaborator with the Kremlin:
"These comments suggest that the Labour leader would rather collaborate with Russian aggression than mutually support Britain's Nato allies. As with Trident, everything Labour says and does shows that they cannot be trusted with Britain's national security."
This is the same propagandistic formulation that has been used for decades in the west to equate opposition to militarism with some form of disloyalty or treason: if you oppose military confrontation with a foreign adversary or advocate better relations with it, then you are accused of harboring secret sympathy and even support for those foreign leaders, and are often suspected of being an active "collaborator" with (or "stooge" for) them.
This lowly smear tactic was, of course, deployed over and over during the Cold War with regard to those who argued for improved relations or a reduction of conflict with Moscow, but it has been repeatedly used since then as well every time it comes time to confront a new Foreign Villain (those opposed to the invasion of Iraq were pro-Saddam, those who opposed intervention in Libya were Gaddafi apologists, those who objected to War on Terror programs are terrorist-sympathizers, etc. etc.).
But this template has recently become super-charged, more widely invoked than ever, as a result of the starring role Russia now plays in U.S. domestic politics, where many Democrats blame them for Hillary Clinton's defeat. Putin now occupies the role of Prime Villain in western discourse, and this Cold War rhetorical template – anyone opposing confrontation is a Kremlin operative or stooge – has thus been resurrected with extraordinary speed and ease.
The compelling justifications for Corbyn's concerns about NATO/Russia tensions are self-evident. The U.S. and Russia have massive arsenals of nuclear weapons. As Lawrence Krauss detailed in the New Yorker in October, the two countries have come horrendously close to full-on, earth-destroying nuclear war on several occasions in the past, and the systems they still maintain are conducive to apocalyptic error through miscommunication and misperception, let alone direct military confrontation. As Krauss noted:
"In general, during the Obama Presidency, we have only deepened our dangerous embrace of nuclear weapons. At the moment, around a thousand nuclear weapons are still on a hair-trigger alert; as they were during the Cold War, they are ready to be launched in minutes in response to a warning of imminent attack."
It is not hyperbole to say that perhaps nothing is more reckless, more dangerous, than ratcheting up tensions between these two countries. That's what makes it so repellent and toxic to demonize those such as Corbyn as "collaborators" or traitors merely because they oppose this escalation and belligerence. But this is the script that – once again – is quickly becoming mainstream orthodoxy in both Washington and London.
Let us, for a moment, imagine if this framework were applied consistently rather than manipulatively. Democrats have been alarmed – rightfully so – by the preliminary belligerence of Trump and his top aides toward nuclear-armed China: accepting a call from Taiwan's president, openly questioning the decades-old "One China" policy, suggesting the U.S. would militarily intervene to prevent Chinese control over nearby uninhabited islands (the latter was also suggested by the current head of the U.S. Pacific fleet).
But applying the prevailing Russia logic to these concerns, should one not accuse these Democrats objecting to confrontation with China of being "collaborators" with and apologists for the dictatorial regime in Beijing, which imprisons dissidents and tortures ethnic and religious minorities? Should we publicly ponder whether the liberal writers demanding that Trump cease his aggressive posture are being clandestinely paid by the Chinese Politburo or merely acting as "useful idiots" for it? Should those objecting to Trump's belligerent policies be accused of siding with a dictatorial regime over their own President and country?
Of course none of those things should happen, because it is not only rational but morally compulsory to be deeply wary of those who seek to escalate tensions between countries with large nuclear arsenals. At the very least, one should be free to debate these policies without being smeared as a traitor. That applies to China, and it applies to Russia. And those who voice such concerns should not, as Corbyn just was, have their loyalties and integrity be impugned by our new Cold Warriors.
For the crucial context on NATO/Russia tension that is very rarely heard in the western press, I highly recommend these two items:
(1) This Foreign Affairs article by University of Chicago political scientist John J. Mearsheimer on the west's relentless, aggressive march eastward up to Russian borders and its consequences;
(2) The passage of this interview with Noam Chomsky by German journalist Tilo Jung – beginning at 40:30 – that explains the crucial historical context of NATO's march eastward toward Russia, how that is perceived in Moscow, and, most important of all, why the dangers this behavior creates are incomparable:
