Q: Do objects in OOP have to represent an entity? Does an object have to represent an entity?
By an entity I mean something like a Product, Motor, a ParkingLot etc, a physical, or even a clear-cut non-physical conceptual object -- something that is well defined, with some core data clearly belonging to the object, and some functions/methods that clearly operate on the core data.
For example, I can have an object of a Demon, an entity in itself, an imaginary one perhaps and not physical but an entity nevertheless
Can an object be just a collection of methods, a common set of procedures that tie in with a common goal?
Example:  can a class be called MotorOperations or MotorActions, where there is no entity, but methods inside the class do things like

*

*getMotorDataFromHTMLForm()

*getMotorManufacturers()

*selectMotorFromUserRequirements($requirements)

*canMotorCanHandleOperatingConditions($conditions)

*computePowerConsumptionForMotor($id)

A class is typically defined as data central to the object + operations on data.  So for a Motor there may be some motor variables relating to motor specifications, and there can be operations that combine those data to produce something.
In my case it is more like I have a class with operations on data + data that is passed through the class, there is no data centric to "Motor Operations", other than temporary pass-through-the-class data.
Question
Can classes represent entity-less objects?
If not, why they are bad/incomplete/non-OOP-centric?  Are there ways they need to be changed/improved conceptually to be in line with OOP?

A: No. (Title edited to ask the opposite question!)
eg:
Public class MyRepository
{
    public MyObject GetObject(string id)
    {
        //get data from the DB and build an object
    }
}

or
Public class MyService
{
    public MyObject3 ProcessData(MyObject1 obj1, MyObject2 obj2)
    {
         //perform a process which is not a sole responsiblity of obj1 or obj2
    }
}

However, in general the ideal behind OOP is to move away from
public struct Car
{
    public Wheel[] Wheels;
}

public int CountWheelsOnCar(MyCarStruct car)
{
   return car.Wheels.Length;
}

to
public class Car
{
    private Wheel[] wheels;
    Public int CountWheels()
    {
        return this.wheels.Length;
    }
}

A: I think that visualizing something in the real world is helpful when coding classes but not necessary.
In fact, depending on how literal you want to be, many objects we work with don't have physical representations at all.  For instance--consider MVC architecture.  In the real world there is no Model or Controller even though they are generally represented by classes.  The three together often represent something, but not always--but as I said you could probably force a fit into something if you really want to (and being able to imagine SOMETHING helps!  I visualize most objects in some way--just not anything you'd ever see in the real world).
Mostly these "Rules" you will learn about OO are just guidelines meant to get you oriented into thinking in OO not necessarily things you worry about much once you are using it to code on a daily basis.
By the way OO itself isn't some panacea and it doesn't help you much at all during your first pass at coding some solution, but I think that if done right it is a truly fantastic way to organize code so it can be more readily understood later. Writing maintainable code is probably one of the hardest tasks in software development and in many cases (anything that requires ongoing debugging/maintenance) it is by far the most important.

A:
Does an object have to represent an entity?

Question: Which entity does a Logger represent?
Not metaphorically - literally.
When explaining OOP to students it is helpful to explain objects with analogies to the physical world.
Alan Kay - one of the fathers of OOP  - wrote the following:

[...]
The original conception of it had the following parts.

*

*I thought of objects being like biological cells and/or individual
  computers on a network, only able to communicate with messages

*I wanted to get rid of data.

  [...]
OOP to me means only messaging, local retention and protection and
hiding of state-process, and extreme late-binding of all things.
almost unbelievable HW architecture. I realized that the
cell/whole-computer metaphor would get rid of data

source
From this, objects are best understood as

*

*autarkic objects encapsulating / hiding data

*communicating with other objects via messages

Can classes represent entity-less objects?

Definitely: Think of Math

Regarding your example:

Example: can a class be called MotorOperations or MotorActions, where there is no entity, but methods inside the class do things like

*

*getMotorDataFromHTMLForm()

*getMotorManufacturers()

*selectMotorFromUserRequirements($requirements)

*canMotorCanHandleOperatingConditions($conditions)

*computePowerConsumptionForMotor($id)

To decide, where to put these methods, you have to take a look at responsibilities: who is respnsible for what.

getMotorDataFromHTMLForm()

The context of such a method would be constructing a motor-object.
It is not the responsibility of the motor to create itself from Data retrieved via a form. There are at least two objects involved; one is the motor and the other is the creator of the motor.

getMotorManufacturers()

The typical context in which one would write such a method is a service.

selectMotorFromUserRequirements($requirements)

This would also be used in a service-context

canMotorCanHandleOperatingConditions($conditions)

This is a question to a motor-object

computePowerConsumptionForMotor($id)

This too is a question best asked a motor itself.

tl;dr
The metaphor of objects as physically objects is more irritating than helpful.

A: Yes, you can do this.  But you're essentially creating a class to provide the same functionality as a procedural library.  The only reason to do that is if your language lacks procedural modules (e.g., Java or Ruby).
In a language with procedural modules (I think PHP has procedural modules), you might consider just using a procedural module.
You could also consider re-designing your class so an instance of the class represents a coherent object.
But only use OO notation when it's giving you extra power, not just for the sake of being OO!

A: In layman's words

*

*What you describe is called an utility class.

*It has no state, meaning you will not ever really need to have several instances of it

*All methods are static, meaning you have to pass everything as parameters

Such classes do exist, for example the Java SDK has the Collections class which consists exclusively of static methods that operate on or return collections.
So the answer would be no, not all classes need to be modelled from a domain entity.
In the other hand, such classes are only a few or should be only a few in a program made in a OOP language, since the real power of OOP lays in polymorphism and encapsulation.
It would be like using a plane to go from one place to another not by flying but by driving it around on freeways. Planes have wheels like cars do, but they are intended to fly.

A:
Can classes represent entity-less objects? If not, why they are bad/incomplete/non-OOP-centric? Are there ways they need to be changed/improved?

In short, you can do anything, but this specific scenario would be against OOP principles :)
What you are describing is sometimes called a "utility" class - usually a sign of code smell. You want to avoid creating classes for the sake of keeping some methods together.
Not every object in your application has to be linked to a real-life entity like a motor, or car; those are business objects. In your application, you are likely to use many of your business objects, but you would also need some more segregation for other operations that are not part of business entities, like the ones you listed.
You should have a look at common architectural patterns - one of them is MVC (Model-View-Controller).
If I was to distribute the methods you listed using MVC, here is what I would do:
View Class:

*

*GetMotorDataFromHTMLForm()

Model Class (Motor Essentially):

*

*GetMotorManufacturer()

*CanMotorHandleOperationConditions()

*CalculatePowerConsumption()

Controller Class(MotorsController):

*

*GetAllMotors()

*GetMotorById()

*GetMotorByUserRequirements()

It seems like you are using PHP; a good MVC framework to have a look at is Laravel. In their examples they illustrate well where what methods belong to.
Another, more generic source of information how to decide where the methods belong are GRASP and SOLID principles.

A: No, a class merely represents something that can be instantiated, has members, and can be inherited from.
In fact, your language may have static classes, which are not even instantiated more than once.
.NET's Math is a great example of a "professional" class that represent no entity (unless you want to get philosophical about what math is...), and also happens to illustrate a legitimate use case of such a class. It has only methods and 2 fields (both representing individual constants).
The class hierarchy of a similar library, Math.Net, groups mathematical/numerical methods into classes by type. Here classes represent not an entity, but a logical category.
I myself often end up creating (static) classes which are nothing more than a bag of related (static) functions, or a bunch of constants conveniently grouped in one central place. I wouldn't claim that this is good design, but sometimes it's the most straightforward solution.

A:
Can classes represent entity-less objects?

Can? Yes. Should? Probably not - or at least, not how you're phrasing things.
Objects actually are best when not representing a physical object directly since reality so infrequently maps nicely to code. But they do need to represent a cohesive concept or code-object. They need to represent a single cohesive responsibility.
Just bundling a bunch of tangentially related functions together is a namespace or a module - not an object in OOP parlance. Those can be useful, but they're not the same, and require a different sort of usage/thinking to work with effectively.

A: No, an object does not have to represent an entity.
In fact, I would argue that when you stop thinking about objects as physical entities is when you finally get the benefits that OOP promises.
This isn't the best example, but the Coffee Maker design is probably where the light started to come on for me.
Objects are about messages.  They're about responsibilities.  They're not about Cars, Users, or Orders.
I know we teach OO this way, but it becomes apparent after a few tries how fundamentally frustrating it is to figure out where things go when you try to do MVC, MVVM or MVWhatever.  Either your models become ridiculously bloated or your controllers do.  For navigability, it's great to know that anything that touches Vehicles is in the Vehicle.ext file, but when your application is about Vehicles, you inevitably end up with 3000 lines of spaghetti in that file.
When you have a new message to send, you have at least one new object, and perhaps a pair of them.  So in your question about a bundle of methods, I would argue that you're potentially talking about a bundle of messages.  And each one could be its own object, with it's own job to do.  And that's ok.  It will become apparent as you split things apart which things really, really need to be together.  And you put them together.  But you don't immediately drop every method in a vaguely appropriate drawer for convenience sake if you want to enjoy OO.
Let's talk about bags of functions
An object can be just a collection of methods and still be OO, but my "rules" are pretty strict.

*

*The collection should have a single responsibility, and that responsibility can't be as generic as "Does stuff to motors".  I might do such a thing as a service-layer facade, but I'm acutely aware that I'm being lazy for navigability/discovery reasons, not because I'm trying to write OO code.

*All the methods should be at a consistent layer of abstraction.  If one method retrieves Motor objects and another returns Horsepower, that's probably too far apart.

*The object should work on the same "kind" of data.  This object does stuff to motors(start/stop), this one does things with crank lengths, this one handles ignition sequencing, this one takes an html form.  This data could conceivably be fields on the object and it would seem cohesive.
I generally build objects of this sort when I'm doing transforms,  composition, or just don't want to worry about mutability.
I find focusing on object responsibilities leads me towards cohesion.  There has to be some cohesion to be an object, but there doesn't need to be any fields nor very much behavior for it to be an object.  If I was building a system that needed those 5 motor methods, I would start out with 5 different objects that do those things.  As I found commonality, I would either start to merge things together or use common "helper" objects.  That moves me into open/closed concerns - how can I extract this bit of functionality so I never have to modify that particular file again but still use it where needed?
Objects are about messages
Fields barely matter to an object - getting and setting registers doesn't change the world outside the program.  Collaborating with other objects gets the work done.  However, the strength of OO is that we can create abstractions so we don't have to think about all the individual details at once.  Abstractions that leak or don't make sense are problematic, so we think deeply (too much, maybe) about creating objects that match our mental models.
Key question:  Why do these two objects need to talk to each other?
Think of the object as an organ in a person - it has a default purpose and only changes behavior when it receives a specific message that it cares about.
Imagine a scenario where you're in the crosswalk and a car is coming fast.  As the brain object, I detect a stressor.  I tell the hypothalamus to send corticotrophin-releasing hormone.  The pituitary gland gets that message and releases adrenal corticotrophic hormone.  The adrenal glands get that message and create adrenaline.  When the muscle object gets that adrenaline message it contracts.  When the heart get the same message, it beats faster.  There's a whole chain of players involved in starting the complex behavior of sprinting across the street and it's the messages that matter.  The brain object knows how to get the hypothalamus to send out the alert, but it doesn't know the chain of objects that will eventually make the behavior happen.  Likewise the heart has no idea where adrenaline comes from, it just knows to do something different when that shows up.
So in this (simplified) example, the adrenal gland object only needs to know how to take ACTH and make adrenaline.  It doesn't need any fields to do that, yet it still seems like an object to me.
Now if our application is designed only to sprint across the street, I may not need the pituitary gland and the adrenal gland objects.  Or I only need a pituitary gland object that only does a small part of what we might conceptually see as the "pituitary gland model".  These concepts all exist as conceptual entities, but it's software and we can make the AdrenalineSender or MuscleContractor or whatever and not worry much about the "incompleteness" of our model.

A: A class should model something - otherwise it's pointless. However, what's being modeled may not be a physical "thing"; instead, it may be a representation of something which is not 'real', but which is needed to control the system being modeled. For example, in a traffic light control system you could very well have some sort of ControlSignal class, representing a signal sent from one portion of the system to another to indicate that some action needs to be performed. In "the real world" these signals might consist of electrical impulses transmitted across wires from one box to another. The process of modeling something which isn't "real" as a concrete object is referred to as "reification".
Best of luck.

A: The answers to your questions ultimately hinge on how precisely one defines terms like "class" and "entity." You did a good job of defining the latter, allowing both physical and conceptual entities. But the term "class" to purists will always be "a factory for instantiating objects with a particular internal representation" and to pragmatists the term will encompass those Java or C++ things despised by purists. Ditto for the term "OOP," which pragmatists might say Java and C++ do, but which purists would take to mean what Alan Kay meant when he remarked ["I invented the term object-oriented, and I can tell you I didn't have C++ in mind"](
So what *did* Alan Kay really mean by the term "object-oriented"?).
If you take the pragmatist view, you can accept your instance-less utility classes. But the purist view is more interesting. OOP, according to Kay, was always more about the messages than the classes. So to your questions:

Can classes represent entity-less objects?

No. Classes classify objects. Classes are by definition those entities to which you send a message such as new to produce an object. An object is an entity made from a class. Classes exist to manufacture, and indeed classify, objects. That's what classes do. Classes make objects. We use classes to classify objects. So if C is just a bundle of methods that does not permit instantiation or subclassing, there cannot be any objects classified by C, so C is not a class.

If not, why they are bad/incomplete/non-OOP-centric?

They're not bad. Just don't call them classes. A bundle of methods is OOPable: something you could send a message to in order to invoke a method, but it's not a class unless it can instantiate an object. Do you know Ruby? In Ruby a module is a bundle of methods. A class is a module that can instantiate objects. There is nothing bad about a module. But the thing that makes a class different from a module (in pure OOP terms) is that a class can have instances. A module is just some methods. The confusion is that C++ and Java and other languages use the term "class" for both class and module.
Now, to look at one of your specific examples, you ask about a MotorOperations class to which you could send the message computePowerConsumptionForMotor with argument id. Is that bad? At least it does not violate the Tell Don't Ask Principle. Do we have to make a motor class and send it the powerConsumption message? Maybe not 100% of the time, but maybe trying to do such things will lead to some nice insights about your code. Or, it can lead to an explosion of little classes which would be bad.

Are there ways they need to be changed/improved conceptually to be in line with OOP?

If "doing OOP" is important to you, then you will want to look for ways to architect a system into components that communicate by sending messages to each other. That is just what OOP is, or at least what the coiner of the term had in mind. Utility classes are not OOP in this view. But to some people, they may be.
Trying to make an entire large system out of millions of living, breathing, objects, all instantiated from classes, may work for some projects. But if you find yourself creating artificial, wrong-sounding classes, then modules should be introduced. Try to emphasize classes, and use modules when instantiable classes would be ridiculous.
TL;DR - method bundles are not always bad. Try to use instantiable classes first. Fall back to "modules" only when needed.

A: Taking the given examples:
getMotorDataFromHTMLForm()
selectMotorFromUserRequirements($requirements)

These look like "factory" methods, that would return a Motor object. The second implies that either you're creating a new object to meet requirements, or you have a database or in-memory collection of motors that you're examining. In which case it should be a method on that. Or it could be a method on the requirements object.
getMotorManufacturers()

From where are you getting them? That's what this should be a method of.
canMotorCanHandleOperatingConditions($conditions)
computePowerConsumptionForMotor($id)

These look like they should be methods on Motor.

A: An object is a collection of methods and data that have high cohesion. They belong in a class because they are highly interrelated and state is retained.
This is true whether you use big up front design and attempt to model everything, or emergent design where you iterate and evolve the object into whatever fits the needs of the system at the time.
If you have no reason to retain state, you probably don't have any reason to instantiate an object which means there is probably no reason to have a class. Unless, the language your using doesn't have the ability to define a namespace other than using class. In which using class should be fine because it would be idiomatic.
I can't think of any negative aspects to using classes in this way other than the typical. Your inviting unnecessary cost and complexity by having to instantiate a "namespace". Anyone supporting this code will wonder where the data is costing additional cognitive load (most likely a one time cost per person). It's an unusual usage without any additional value.

A: Classes are used for several completely unrelated things. First they are used as data types (a class of data), to
be able to collect potentially polymorphic sets of functions or procedures on specific types of data.
Mutability/state here is not so relevant. Some languages have OO without state/mutability but still benefit group grouping, reuse/composition, and polymorphism (which is a property of message sending).
Secondly, they are used to represent/model objects from the real and imaginary/virtual worlds. Thise object representations, or just objects, might or might not be stateful/mutable, here, composition/reuse are still important, polymorphism (message sending) too. But the idea of a class being a data type fades here and classes become more like modules.
Thirdly, they can be used as a form of more programmable modules, potentially in addition to a language's namespace system. Singleton objects (or singly constructable classes in languages where direct object representation is not possible) serve as modules. Singletons can leverage reuse/composition as well as polymorphism, they can also have state in some cases (stateful modules).
If you are applying any of these 3 main categories of OO-ness in your code, you are using OO. There is no need to use all aspects at all costs.
The criticism of OO languages usually boils down to being too state oriented: everything is polished in the OO department, but immutability and algebraic purity have to become mere afterthoughts. Languages such as Scala and F# are good showcases of multiparadigm (holistic?) techniques. Languages such as Haskell, where direct memory mutability, is not just impossible but absurd, yet where polymorphism, reuse/composition and data types excel above all.

KUNA announces pre-Christmas crowdsale of first Ukrainian bitcoin exchange
The Ukrainian bitcoin agency will sell 10% share of its new platform. The auction starts on 13 December and will last till Christmas day. The launch of the new project is scheduled for January/February 2016.
The first Ukrainian bitcoin exchange will be launched by KUNA bitcoin agency without using a centralised bank account or trade volume limitations. This will allow for fees as low as 1%. At the same time the exchange will be legal.
Anyone will be able to take part in seed funding via blockchain, while all revenue will be collected in bitcoins. The minimum amount of investment to be gathered in this round is 100BTC. It will be used to develop software and to launch the new bitcoin exchange. In case the target sum of 100 BTC is not reached, the money will be returned to investors.
The sales statistics will be displayed in open access on the KUNA's website. The marketing of the new platform will be handed to an unnamed market player who already owns another 10% of the shares. The organisers intend to spend 10% of income in bitcoins on social projects related to education, children and e-government blockchain technologies. The investors will be able to vote for specific charity projects on the website of the exchange.
In November Bitcoin Foundation Ukraine announced a project to set up an E-Governance system in Odessa in collaboration with Innovecs, an American business technology outsourcing company. In January 2016 the Ukrainian city of Lviv will become the second town to host Blockchain Incredible Party conference, which will bring together speakers from Cubits, Cointegraph, Kuna Bitcoin Agency, AdaptiveSky,CEX.IO, Kraken, Tembusu Systems, Bitalo AG, KOINA AG, GHash.io, as well as members of the Board of National Depository of Ukraine and Innovations and Development Foundation.

Bild Asks "Is Germany Tired Of Merkel?"
Bild Asks "Is Germany Tired Of Merkel?" 5 out of 5 based on 2 ratings. 2 user reviews.
… Germany's mass-selling tabloid Bild has openly questioned on its front page whether voters have had enough of Chancellor Angela Merkel. "Is Germany tired of Merkel?" Bild asked in a headline, noting the result of the INSA survey.
The SPD, junior partner in Merkel's ruling "grand coalition", has been trailing the conservative CDU/CSU bloc – known as the "Union" – for years in opinion polls. It last won an election under Gerhard Schroeder in 2002. But the SPD has been re-energised by its appointment of Martin Schulz, a former European Parliament president who came home to enter German politics, as its new leader last week.
He replaced Sigmar Gabriel, who said he was standing aside to boost the party's chances. Schulz has vowed to unseat Merkel with a campaign aimed at overcoming "deep divisions" that he says have fueled populism in Germany in recent years.
"A close race between the SPD and the Union is in any case good for German democracy," Bild said in an editorial, adding that the SPD's revival made another grand coalition less likely.
As Reuters notes, unlike other SPD leaders, Schulz has had no role in Merkel's grand coalitions – governments of the two largest parties because no other coalition was mathematically or politically possible – and can more readily critique her record. Merkel, in office since 2005, currently heads her second grand coalition with the SPD. Between them, she led a coalition with the smaller Free Democratic Party (FDP) from 2009 to 2013.
The SPD has held exploratory talks with the environmentalist Greens and the far-left Linke party about forming a left-leaning coalition government after the election, effectively blocking the CDU from a ruling position.
A Schulz-led SPD-Green-Left coalition or a Schulz-led grand coalition would certainly be a huge event in German politics. Such possibilities no longer look like tail risks. A SPD-Green-Left coalition would bias German policymaking towards greater fiscal expenditure and investment, and center-left policies.
Should the SPD's rise in the polls continue, Europe may have one more political not-so-fat tail event to worry about in the coming months.
I truly think that Germany lost so many of the best, and brightest during the 2 world wars that the gene pool is irreparably damaged. The electorate in Germany is influenced by the mentally, and psychologically defective to a point that precludes national, and ethnic survival.
Unfortunately 50 years of Communist-brainwashing and Liberal self-masochism will do that. The incessantly anti-German attitudes of many modern Germans disgusts me, although the rise of the AfD is some cause for hope. Still if Germany was sane they would have run that horrible sow Merkel out of power years ago.
Merkel will be the chancellor. The question of immigrants is only 1 page of agenda. The ecomnomy is flying, the people are satisfied. For most germans there is no reason to look for alternative candidate.


to bring you a few pictures taken before the storm.
Remember that? Life before the storm?

Scroll to the bottom for Monday evening's update to this post.
Dock and boat house as of Saturday afternoon. Nothing unusual here.
Queens Creek as of Sunday afternoon, inching its way into my yard.
Sunday morning the tide was well over the dock.
This is pretty standard whenever we get a good storm.
As of Sunday, the storm called Sandy has caused the standard high water levels and flooding associated with most major storms. The wind hasn't really been an issue thus far, however as of this moment it's picked up substantially. So far we've not lost current (aka power), but it's pretty safe to assume we will at some point. Residents in low lying areas of the county have been asked to evacuate.
For now, we're fine. If you don't hear from me it's only because we have lost either internet or power or both.
I'll post more when I can. In the mean time I hope everyone in the path of the storm stays safe.
I HAD TO GO TO WORK ON MONDAY. THE END.
So, yes, my place of employment was open on Monday. The kids stayed home from school and will be home Tuesday as well. This morning I waited until daylight to make the hour long commute in because of the possibility of standing water and tree limbs. However, neither was an issue.
Although the winds whipped and the rain continued, I stayed at work until 4:00 p.m. My commute home was entirely uneventful. Since I was the only idiot who had to work Since most everyone else stayed home, the drive up the Route 17 corridor was the fastest ever. There were so few cars on the road I wondered if I hadn't entered some parallel universe. I think I only hit two red lights the entire ride.
When I arrived home, the tide was down, and I could see the dock. Most importantly we haven't lost power (yet?). The wind is still blowing (very hard) and the rain is still coming down. It's not over yet and things can change, but so far so good, at least from my vantage point.
I am thinking of my friends up north and hoping everyone is safe.
back when I was in high school.
The Homecoming parade was Friday.
A scream on my part guaranteed eye contact from my son.
I want this car. Badly.
I thoroughly enjoyed Friday's Homecoming parade and my high school reunion.
As I type this Saturday evening, the Storm Called Sandy is knocking on my door. The wind has really picked up.
I hope everyone impacted by Sandy stays safe.
The sign above stands outside of Mathews High School even though here it references Gloucester. The Class of 1492 1982's reunion is tonight at the football game.
Below is the part of the school that housed the gym when my father went to school there. The old gym served as an auditorium when I went there. My son and daughter are there now, and that same space is the library; the auditorium is in the new Harry M. Ward addition. Mr. Ward was my principal, and his son is related to me on my mother's side.
Below is what's left of my varsity jacket. Everything has held up pretty well over the years, but whatever material that is on the sleeves? It's sticky. And gross.
Below is what's left of my mother's very valiant attempts at getting all my patches and varsity pins on the jacket. I had track pins, basketball pins, perhaps even a tennis pin, but most of them fell off long ago.
One spring I played tennis and ran track simultaneously which was sheer insanity. In track I was a high jumper and long jumper; ran the 110-yard low hurdles; 220- and 440-yard dashes; and sometimes the mile relay.
Those dots on the M once held pins.
Meaningless Trivia: In 1982, I high jumped 5'6" and ran the 110-yard low hurdles in 15.1 seconds at the state meet. I remember hitting 14.9 seconds in another meet but Who here cares is still awake?
Before I start writing pages of hot air mostly meaningless words about my high school track days, I will close with a few observations.
It's difficult to believe that 30 years have passed since graduating high school.
It's even more difficult to believe my son and daughter will graduate from this same school in the foreseeable future.
That so many of my classmates still live in Mathews or have moved back speaks volumes about this sleepy little speck on the map.
Completely unrelated, there is talk of The Perfect Storm brewing that could bring us some nasty weather in the next several days.
I'm looking forward to the Homecoming parade, the football game, the reunion, and the possibility of a good storm, whether perfect or imperfect.
Thanks for suffering through this reading.
Welcome to Thursday, the day of the week where I share three thoughts or things or ideas or worries or accomplishments or whatever. And then I encourage you to do the same.
1. Today is the 10K charity run at my work. I'm helping run it, and I'm also running in it. So help me.
2. Then it will be Friday, the day of my 30th high school reunion.
3. If I survive 1 and 2, I'll be happy.
4. (Because 3 is just a suggestion, and even if it were a hard and fast rule, I'd feel obligated to push the envelope.) Last night I had to attend a winter sports meeting with my daughter at the very same high school I left 30 months years ago. Evidently I need to visit the eye doctor. As we were walking down the halls towards the meeting in the cafeteria, I saw a sign that said Athletic Disaster. It was the Athletic Director's office.
5. This reminds me, the other morning on my way to work in the pitch black at ODark:30, I got all the way to Cobbs Creek before realizing I'd forgotten to put in my contact lenses, which I need to see anything at a distance. Normally I can't see well driving at night even with the contacts, but this particular morning the signs were blurrier than usual. Thankfully I caught it before I got much further down the road.
6. Everything except #1 above indicates I'm getting old. However, I'd like it noted for the record that I'm going down with a fight and would like to circle back to #1. I'm running 6+ miles today, daggone it. And I'm signed up for a half-marathon in a few weeks.
And I hope I live to tell about it.
Now it's your turn. Three (or more) things. Whatever is on your mind.
Here are more jetties from Tin Can Alley. Almost all of these One or two of these may have been taken when my feet were planted outside the boundaries of the public beach and oh so briefly in the sands that make up private property. But it was just for a split second. Or two.
I went to high school with the new sheriff in town, so hopefully he'll overlook this slight infraction. To be specific, I actually went to the Prom with him. He was a junior and I was a sophomore. If memory serves, and it may not, he wore a powder blue tuxedo. When I was a freshman, I went to the Prom with someone else who also ran for sheriff.
I'm not sure what any of this means, but one possible extrapolation is that anyone interested in running for Mathews County sheriff should have "Went to the Prom with CBW" on their application.
Sometimes I wonder just exactly what part of my deteriorating brain words like extrapolation are pulled from. Probably the very same section that authorizes and condones a reference to sheriffs, deputies and Prom dates when I clearly started off talking about jetties on Gwynns Island.
Maybe I'm just getting all nostalgic for Friday's 30-year class reunion.
Either way, this word association exercise blog post is now ending.
Over on Gwynn's Island at the end of a road that appears to drop off into the Chesapeake Bay is a tiny square of public beach fondly referred to as Tin Can Alley.
I'm standing to that first jetty. Beyond that is private property.
Click here and here for previous posts on Tin Can Alley, one of which (the second link) includes the story of when my grandmother took us swimming here. After a sweltering hot, humid day filled with scalding sand, eagle-sized, biting flies, stinging nettles, and nothing to eat or drink, she "lost" the car keys. Good times.
Stay tuned for several hundred more photos of the jetties at Tin Can Alley.
Last Thursday, a beautiful fall day, I drove down to Aaron's Beach and took a few pictures. (The actual beach and the bay are behind me; this is facing west.) The normally lush, green swamp marsh grass is now autumnal in color.
This may mark the first time in my life I've used the word autumnal. If you repeat it a few times, it starts to sound weird, sort of like someone is trying to say something else but can't because they've just come from the dentist and they're still loaded up with Novocaine. Or they have a severe speech impediment.
Anyway, the colors were autumnal. Also, I hate dentists. And I did not intend this to be a free association sort of blog post, but it looks like that horse is already out of the gate.
The weekend here was equally gorgeous. Saturday I ran seven slow miles down the quiet back roads that pass near this and Bethel Beach. It was a great day to be outside. That evening I attended a birthday party (I'll try to post a few photos later in the week) and had my first taste of roasted oysters this year. I assure you it won't be my last.
This week will be busier than usual here. At work I am helping to manage a 10K/5K run for charity--and I'm also running in it with a bet that I will beat The Big Boss. Friday is my 30th high school reunion and the Mathews Homecoming parade and football game. (Both Son and Daughter will be in the parade.) Middle Sister flies in for a visit on Friday. Baby Sister will join us at some point.
In between is the normal flurry of activity that is my life which includes long commutes, keeping squalor, spiders and crickets at bay, scratching pets, ridiculously expensive flea medications that don't work, the logistics of who needs to be where and when, preparing for the half-marathon that's breathing down my neck, and hopefully once and for all taking the three Hefty bags of empty plastic water bottles to the recycling bin at the dump. I've only been carrying them around in the back of my car for three months, remembering to go to the dump--and driving all the way there--the one and only day it was closed: Wednesday.
In other words, the usual stuff.
Anything exciting going on with you?

What is this little icon? Tapping on it seems to do nothing.
Nevermind. After clumsily navigating Instagram's unintuitive help section, it means someone tagged me in a photo. Supposedly, I can tap it to see the photo I am tagged in, but nothing was happening when I tapped it before. When I tried it just now, it took about four taps for it to work.

Any time I see an ad on Instagram, I hide it and say, "It's not relevant." The other day Instagram asked me to answer a few questions so they can show more relevant ads. I declined, but I have no doubt there would not be a, "Do not show me ads." or, "No ad will be relevant to me." option.
Well yeah, they're a free, ad-supported service, they're going to show you ads.
Gained a bunch more followers after my latest caricature.
The same user has started following me three times. I can only assume he's following then unfollowing repeatedly in an attempt to get me to follow him back.
Someone just asked me to follow them. I want to say, "Your content should speak for itself." but I have decided to ignore it.
Friday, July 13, I went to bed with 300 followers on Instagram. One of my videos went viral over the week-end and by Monday morning I had 3,000 followers. My momentum has remained pretty steady since then. Almost two months later, I have 16.5K followers with no sign of slowing down. Several of my IG videos have gone viral since. Many freebooters are sharing my videos, which are simply re-edits of my older YouTube videos. That leaves me kind of stymied as to why I do not have the same magic on YouTube. I had several people tell me they do not know how I do not have way more subscribers. "Are there a few zeroes missing from your subscriber count?" That said, I just passed 1,000 subs on YT and there has been a views spike in the last week. I told Lori earlier in the year, "I feel like 2018 is going to be my year. So far, it is looking like it. I am still having trouble selling art though. I think that may come with more time.
High-five. Were you sore on Saturday?

Snacks maker investing in capacity expansion
BOULDER, COLO. — Bars and snacks maker Bobo's announced it is investing $10 million in a new facility in Loveland, Colo. As part of the investment, Bobo's will consolidate its two bakeries (in Boulder and Loveland) and one warehouse (in Loveland) into one building, a move the company said will add 100,000 square feet of production space, allowing it to triple capacity to meet growing demand.
Bobo's said it has experienced 36% compound annual growth rate since 2016, and in 2021 that figure is expected to grow to 40%.
As Bobo's continues to expand, the company said it plans to prioritize sustainability objectives. By consolidating its current facilities, the brand is cutting down the amount of driving needed for materials and employees between facilities throughout the day, which is better for both its people and the planet, Bobo's said.
"Bobo's has seen exceptional growth over the last 18 months," said TJ McIntyre, chief executive officer of Bobo's. "During the pandemic the bar category was hit particularly hard, but through the homemade quality of our products we were able to bring our consumers deep comfort in what was an otherwise challenging time. This 125,000-square-foot bakery build puts us in a great position to continue producing the delicious products our consumers love and will allow us to grow to over $100 million in revenue over the next few years."
Bobo's said it plans to celebrate the opening of the new facility in the second quarter of 2022.
Founded in 2003, Bobo's offers bars as well as oat bites, nut-butter-filled bars, toaster pastries, stuff'd bites and nut butter protein bars. The company's products are gluten-free, kosher and non-GMO certified.

Sweet start: Wilton softball team tops New Fairfield, 9-2
John Miscioscia
April 6, 2016 Updated: June 13, 2019 2:04 p.m.
In the first game of the season, the Wilton High softball team gave its new digital scoreboard a workout. Two big innings provided plenty of runs as the Warriors routed New Fairfield, 9-2, in a non-conference game Wednesday afternoon in Wilton.
The win was the first in a season opener for the Warriors under third-year head coach Brian Jacobs.
Wilton scored five runs in the bottom of the fourth inning and added three more in the sixth. Jacobs watched his team execute some of its goals for the season: Using its speed, limiting errors and big innings by opponents, and getting timely hitting.
"The team worked hard in the off-season and the preseason, and we clearly have shown positive improvements from top to bottom," said Jacobs. "When we opened up a lead in the fourth inning, we went back on the field in the fifth and we shut them down — something we had a problem doing in the past.
"We used good base running and capitalized on their fielding errors to come away with the win," added Jacobs. "The infield played a solid defensive game and made all the smart plays."
Wilton got a run in the bottom of the first without a hit. Leadoff batter Hannah Belanger, a freshman, reached on an error, stole second, and came in to score on an RBI groundout by Sage Zunda.
Wilton carried the 1-0 lead into the bottom of the fourth inning, when the Warriors tallied five runs on just two hits. Belanger had the big hit that drove in two runs as Wilton made New Fairfield pay for its three errors. Taylor Floyd opened the inning with a single and came around to score on one of the Rebels' errors.
Wilton pitcher Zunda held the Rebels scoreless through the first five innings, scattering four hits. Zunda was the benefit of solid defense all game long. Third baseman Cate McCabe caught a line drive and doubled off a runner to end the first inning. In the second inning, leftfielder Pippa Gosden backed up a play at third, and when the ball leaked out into the outfield Gosden was there to shoot down the runner at the plate, with catcher Eliza Ward applying the tag.
New Fairfield got on the scoreboard with a single run in the sixth on a walk and two singles.
Gosden started the bottom of the sixth inning with a double — the Warriors' only extra-base hit of the game — and scored on a fielder's choice and a throwing error. An RBI single by Ward and another fielder's choice plated two more runs for Wilton.
New Fairfield got a single and an RBI triple with two outs in the top of the seventh before Zunda retired the next batter to end the game.
Notes: Zunda allowed seven hits, while striking out seven and walking two in the complete-game victory.
The Warriors had eight hits in the contest.

BrewDog offers paid time off for employees who get a new dog
Emily Rella, AOL.com
Apr 3rd 2017 2:05PM
Working at a brewery is more or less a dream job for most people — a laid back environment with tons of booze keeps the 9 to 5 from becoming monotonous
The job in and of itself can feel like a perk, and breweries and distilleries alike are jumping on the bandwagon of offering flexible hours and perks that offer incomparable work-life balances in order to make their companies just that much better.
SEE ALSO: 6 top reasons why pets should be allowed at work
But Scottish brewing company BrewDog may have just changed the game forever by offering a full week's paid time off for employees who get a new puppy.
How paw-some is that?
Dog days.
Taking time out for paw-ternity leave! 🐶 pic.twitter.com/JhntbnixFo
— BrewDog (@BrewDog) February 13, 2017
The company is calling the initiative "Puppy Parental Leave," (or, as we like to say, "Paw-ternity Leave") and BrewDog's website explains the reasoning behind this rare yet genius benefit:
"We are becoming the first in our industry to give our staff a working week's leave on us to help settle a new furry family member into their home...Puppy Parental Leave will support nervy canines and their owners alike in those all-important first few days of the greatest relationship a person can have."
The early days of bonding between pooch and person are crucial in the development of the relationship between the two, and can make a major impact on the way the animal adjusts into new environment.
BrewDog co-founder James Watt told USA Today:
"We wanted to take the stress out of the situation and let our teams take the time they need to welcome their new puppy or dog into their family."
The new policy applies to all of BrewDog 1,000+ employees globally.
Talk about your employer throwing you a bone when you need a little extra help in your personal life!

Q: How to deploy samza job on a remote Yarn Resource Manager We are running samza job on hadoop yarn. Till now we were manually deploying job by calling run-job.sh on Resource Manager host.
run-job.sh --config-factory=org.apache.samza.config.factories.PropertiesConfigFactory --config-path=file:///usr/share/promo-rules-consumer/config/config.properties

Samza deploy script and samza distribtuion tar "samza-dist.tar.gz" are all placed on Resource Manager local file system.
But now I would like to deploy jobs remotely. For this I am trying to use Resource Manager Submit apps rest API .
Request: POST http://hostname:8088/ws/v1/cluster/apps

Home > Organisation > Naval Committee > Warships Journal
Background and History
This World Ship Society publication first appeared in February 1966 as a naval supplement to Marine News. Originally named Warships Supplement, the journal arose because there was not enough space available each month in Marine News to meet the demand for naval historical articles. The magazine originally had a 10 x 8-inch inch format, and was edited by the late Jim Colledge while Peter Herriott was responsible for production and despatch. This team remained in place until August 1977 (volume 47) which appeared in an A5 format with Ian Grant being responsible for production and despatch from then until June 1979 (volume 57) after which Doug Kinghorn assumed this role. Jim Colledge finally retired as Editor with volume 92 and Tom Adams assumed the editor's role for the summer 1988 (volume number 93). The magazine was renamed Warships in Spring 1992 (volume 108) with Brian Hargreaves becoming Business Manager in Autumn 1996 (volume 126) following the death of Doug Kinghorn. Tom's on-going service as Editor of this successful quarterly coincided with the rapid development of computers and IT and he has taken full advantage of these still-evolving technologies to improve the quality of the magazine's appearance and photographic content. All this has been achieved without diluting the quality and range of articles generated mainly from primary research sources.
Demand for out of print issues of the magazine is such that there are plans to produce digital copies of back numbers Warships in the near future.
This 40 page, A5, illustrated research magazine is published 4 times each year and offers in-depth exploration of naval matters. Warships is aimed at a worldwide and varied Naval readership with the objects being to inform, stimulate, discuss and record. As such, the magazine serves as a forum and welcomes articles, news and photographs concerning a variety of subjects including navies, coastguards, auxiliary services as well as marines and their ships/craft plus naval and marine aviation. The magazine also contains analysis of current and historical naval affairs as well technical information.
This is a compiled list of the articles published in Warships from Issue 1 in 1966 to Issue 182 of 2016 - Warship List
Submitting Articles for Inclusion in Warships
There is no such thing as a typical Warships article. We actually publish to a worldwide and multi-disciplinary readership of warship enthusiasts, researchers, historians, academic, order of battle enthusiasts, engineers and model makers. Hence the magazine also welcomes ship lists, tables of equipment, colour schemes and illustrations. Recent issues have included articles on Admiralty Lifting Craft, destroyer pendant numbers, the Cuban missile crisis of 1962, U-boats surrendered in 1945, the loss of BAYONET in 1939, ships that never were – MTB depot ships and Operation Ration 1940-42, the Royal Navy's last naval war with France.
Warships pay no honoraria for contributions and we assume that the material submitted is free of copyright and/or has no restrictions on its use in the magazine. We reserve the right to edit contributions. If you consider your style is different, for example, because English is not your first language or this is your first attempt at writing a naval-focussed article – do not worry, we can provide the necessary assistance.
If you would like to submit material for publication in Warships please read the (A guide for authors) (PDF 186kb). If you have any further questions or need further advice please contact the editor (warshipsedit@gmail.com) who can provide advice style, presentation, abbreviations and terminology, bibliography and references, use of fonts and submission by e-mail or disk.

X-Centrik is a Copenhagen based band which makes their debut with this cd. It was one of the few CDs left to sign up to review. Most of the time this isn't a good sign. Normally a CD that lays around for a while waiting to be reviewed is a CD which a) isn´t good enough or b) is a style of metal/rock that doesn´t fancy any of the Metalrage reviewers tastes (though this is virtually impossible since Metalrage has a base of reviewers with a very broad taste regarding rock and metal). Or is there something else….
I first listened to some songs on their MySpace and I have to say that these songs give a wrong impression of the music that Xcentrik brings. That brings me to the first problem, how the hell do you describe the music on a CD with such a broad range of influences?!? When listening to the first songs I thought that I listened to a poor man´s version of Chris Caffery and I have to admit that these songs are the weak ones on this outing and they really have to put a big red cross through those influences. After this it seems that I´m listening to a completely different band. I hear some quirky Faith No More influences combined with laidback rock or some heavy riffing. The songs after that sound different again.
These guys are indeed original, but are really lacking an own face and style. They have to drop the heavy metal influences and really have to focus on the Faith No More parts. Their singer is also much better in these parts, because he lacks the power in his voice for the heavy metal songs. If the next disc will be a bit more coherent and a bit better produced (it sounds a bit tame), it will definitely be an upgrade over this disc. This album isn´t bad but it just gives me too few incentives to grab it out of my CD collection and put it on.

La classe Tipo 056 (nome in codice NATO: Jiangdao) è una classe di corvette lanciamissili di fabbricazione cinese, entrate in servizio a partire dal 2013 nei ranghi della Marina militare cinese ed il cui nome in codice è divenuto, in occidente, più noto del nome di progetto.

Progettate per missioni pattugliamento costiero e scorta, sono anche in grado di fornire difesa aerea a corto raggio alle unità adiacenti nonostante non siano indicate per azioni di combattimento di altura.

Caratterizzate da linee stealth ed armate con un pezzo di artiglieria a prua, hanno riscosso un discreto successo commerciale, venendo adottate anche dalle marine militari di Bangladesh, Algeria e Niger, nelle quali sono tuttavia state classificate quali fregate o pattugliatori d'altura; a partire dal 2014 è entrata in servizio una nuova versione, ribattezzata 056A, con capacità ASW.

Al 2022 sono 27 le unità in servizio nelle varie nazioni che le hanno adottate.

Tra il 2021 ed il 2022, le unità di questa classe sono state cedute dalla marina al corpo della Guardia Costiera cinese.

Progetto
Queste unità hanno caratteristiche di bassa osservabilità radar, stazzano dalle 1500 alle 1800 t e sono state prodotte per compiti di scorta e vigilanza costiera, e per rimpiazzare le più vecchie fregate classe Type 053H (Jianghu I). Ne è stata prodotta una versione antisommergibile denominata Type 056A. La Type 056 può assolvere a missioni a medio raggio ma non è adatta per azioni di combattimento di altura.

La nave dispone di un ponte elicotteri, in grado di ospitare elicotteri antisommergibili come lo Z-9 Haitun ma non di un hangar. La sua velocità massima di 25 nodi non le permette di scortare gruppi da battaglia. La nave dispone di un lanciamissili antiaerei ad otto celle e due lanciamissili antinave a due celle, oltre che di un cannone a tiro rapido da 76mm e due cannoncini antiaerei da 30mm.

CARLISLE, CUMBERLAND COUNTY, Pa. -- The Army Heritage and Education Center in Carlisle will celebrate the life of the U.S. soldier during Heritage Days, May 20-21.
The year 2017 marks a special time for the U.S. armored forces.
Meanwhile, the Army Heritage Center brought in something big to celebrate.
Anyone who's been to Heritage Days and thinks they've seen it all, hasn't seen anything yet.
The Army Heritage Center proudly sends the word that the tanks are coming.
Army Heritage Center division chief of visitor and education services Jack Giblin said "we're going to have a whole bunch of different kinds of armored vehicles ranging from World War II, all the way up through current operations today."
Tank operator Col. Al Kose said "you would get to see this many vintage, and contemporary armored vehicles at one location, and not only look at them, but actually see them running, negotiating obstacle course, demonstration firing, and all that."
It's a first for Army Heritage Days as the Army Heritage and Education Center celebrates 100 years of armored forces.
"Between 1916 and 1918, the Armored Core came to be in the United States Army. The first armored school was opened in France in 1917, by captain George S. Patton Jr.," Giblin said.
Even with 31 years experience, having tank maneuvers at Heritage Days also are a first for Col. Kose.
"This is the first time that I'll be driving one here, or crewing one here, and this is really a unique opportunity," Col. Kose said.
"About six or eight of the vehicles are going to run through everything that includes a Stone Mountain, a mud put, beach obstacles, and even a log corduroy road," Giblin said.
"When I retired in 2009, I never thought that I would have the opportunity to get on one again," Col. Kose said.
As the collection of tanks, armored vehicles and trucks rolled in, the sight of a U.S. Army tank is something to be seen and appreciated up close, and in person.
"Ours is 37 tons, the M1 tank that they're using today is near 70, so you get that much mass, moving, I mean you're going to feel it," Col. Kose said.
"They're going to see how loud they are, the kind of impact they make. I don't think many people understand what the capability of this kind of equipment is," Giblin said.
"I can still get them around. We get rusty with age, and because we don't drive them as much anymore, but we can still, we'll get them around the course," Col. Kose said.
Army Heritage Days will take place Saturday, May 20, and Sunday, May 21, from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm, at the Army Heritage and Education Center in Carlisle.
Besides having the chance to see the military equipment in action, the next best thing is the event is put on free of charge.

Escondido confirms new city manager Sean McGlynn
CitiesCommunityEscondidoNews
by Tigist Layne April 15, 2021 April 15, 2021 1280
ESCONDIDO – The City of Escondido officially hired Sean McGlynn as its new city manager last week, replacing former city manager Jeffrey Epp, who is retiring from the position after 35 years with the city.
The nationwide search for a new city manager started back in June of 2020 when Epp decided he was going to retire, but committed to staying on until a new city manager was approved.
McGlynn, who has been serving as the city manager for the City of Santa Rosa for the past six years, will begin his first day in his new role on June 29.
McGlynn has also previously served as the Deputy City Manager of El Paso, TX and was named the 2020 City Manager Foundation's "City Manager of the Year."
Sean McGlynn
According to the staff report, McGlynn will earn an annual base salary of $280,000. The city will pay $20,000 toward McGlynn's moving and relocation costs, and a $750 per month auto allowance.
In the meantime, Epp will continue serving in his temporary position as city manager until June 29, and will earn $137.50 per hour.
"I think he's got a really great community to work with really good people," Epp said. "I think we have an incredibly talented department head team, and I think he's working with just a whole boatload of potential that he can get some great things accomplished that I didn't get a chance to do."
Epp, who has been serving the City of Escondido for almost 36 years, said he's worked alongside at least 7 different mayors during his time.
"I'll mostly miss the people and the ability to make Escondido a better place," Epp said. "I think I'll have to work harder to make a positive difference, but I will mostly miss the pace and the people working together."
Next for Epp is some quality time with his family in Wyoming helping run the family-owned bar, The Outlaw Saloon. Epp also said he hopes to get back into practicing law and maybe do some nonprofit work.
"I guess at some point I think you have to bring an end to some things before you can move on to new things," Epp said. "I've been doing this long enough that it's time to do something new, and to truly do something new, I think I had to bring an end to this one."
Epp said that he has high hopes for Escondido moving forward, which he says will always be his home.
"We've made a lot of progress cleaning up the city. I think we need to get our financial house in order. I'm still a big advocate for a small increase in our sales tax rate. We've made a tremendous amount of progress in addressing the homeless issue and I'd like to see that finish up," Epp said.

Witness appeal after cyclist found injured in Hathersage
We're appealing for witnesses after a cyclist was found injured in a road in Hathersage on Saturday evening.
Shortly before 5.15pm on 27 February we were called to report that a man had been found with a head injury, after falling from his bike in The Dale.
He was treated by paramedics at the scene who described his injuries as life changing.
The man was riding a burgundy road bike, which had a badly damaged wheel and officers are investigating the possibility that he may have been involved in a collision.
Anyone who was travelling in the area around the time with information about how the man became injured, or dashcam which may have captured the incident, is asked to contact PC Joseph Pickering quoting reference number 21*115805.
You can also anonymously contact the independent charity Crimestoppers, on 0800 555 111 or by visiting www.crimestoppers-uk.org.

Father of the Bride | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere
Steve Martin turns in a heartwarming and hilarious performance as George Banks, a befuddled father who has a hard time letting go of his young daughter when she unexpectedly announces her plans to wed. Diane Keaton shines as George's patient, levelheaded wife, while funnyman Martin Short lights up the screen as the off-the-wall wedding consultant. Father Of The Bride vows to deliver fun for the entire family!
Carol Baum, Howard Rosenman
Frances Goodrich, Albert Hackett, Nancy Meyers, Charles Shyer
Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, Kimberly Williams, Martin Short
© 1991 Touchstone Pictures
Critics Consensus: While it doesn't quite hit the heights of the original, this remake of the 1950 classic is pleasantly enjoyable, thanks in large part to winning performances from Steve Martin and Martin Short.
Rachel's Reviews (YouTube)
Rachel Wagner
My favorite performance from Steve Martin especially the scene where he flips out over hot dogs
Beyond its personally threatening nature, and its unnerving idea about laying out a life's hoardings for a single unrewarding day, this new version of the romantic comedy first filmed by Vincente Minnelli in 1950 feels false.
Henry Sheehan
The film's sole dramatic preoccupations are with broad physical comedy and unrealistically offbeat characterizations; a few moments of nominal pathos are really just structural pauses in the joke series.
Groucho Reviews
Peter Canavese
The strengths of these films are not so much laughs as sincerity and heart. [Blu-ray]
Movie Metropolis
James Plath
"Father of the Bride" should bring a smile to anyone who's been in a family that's had a wedding-regardless of your point of view. But the sequel doesn't offer quite the same level of comedy and insight.
Richard Corliss
Neither the '90s nor the husband-wife team of Nancy Meyers and Charles Shyer (they wrote the new version, she co-produced, he directed) can match the original film's grace or wit.
The film belongs to Steve Martin, whose crisp, almost bitter delivery, although frequently off-putting, manages to put an edge to a film that, without him, would be mush.
The film does work, but not quite as well as the Hepburn-Tracy classic that it seeks to replace. Mildly amusing.
A charming, if pointless remake of the Spencer Tracy classic.
Randy White
Steve Martin's sweet-natured wedding weepy.
Common Sense Says
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Steve Martin's comic antics make this remake a sweet confection of a movie. Still, parents should know that this movie mythologizes the high-cost, over-the-top wedding as though it were a requirement for all -- the wedding industry does a fine job of that on its own. Martin Short's flamboyant character is funny, but an unfortunate gay stereotype at the same time.

Home / Implants - Dental News / Teeth implants set new standards for tooth replacement.
If you're looking for an affordable way to replace that missing tooth, then teeth implants may be just the job!
It's one of life's great ironies that we tend to focus our attention on those things which seem different or out of place.
If you're talking to someone, for example, and they smile at you with a full set of teeth, it will barely register with you. But if they should flash a smile and it transpires that a tooth or two are missing, that's a whole different kettle of fish. Your eye will instantly be drawn to the blemish rather than the rest of the perfectly healthy teeth.
No doubt this is why so many people can't accept the prospect of going through life with a 'hole' or two in their smile.
If you went back a decade or more, the chances are that they would address the issue by opting for dentures. This was a perfectly acceptable solution for its time, but advances in dental technology mean that dental implants are the more popular contemporary treatment to replace those missing teeth.
The name is something of a misnomer in that the replacement tooth is not actually implanted into your jawbone. The element that's implanted is a miniature stake that your dentist inserts deep into the bone.
This stake forms a strong and robust basis for the overall implant procedure. A replacement tooth is fixed onto the stake, and the end result is a new tooth that simply won't budge, and that will give you every bit as much functionality as your existing teeth.
Are implants a better solution than dentures?
Implants have a large number of benefits over the traditional denture treatment. Chief among these is the level of solidity that your implant provides. Dentures can sometimes slip out of place, and wearers often find that this can lessen their confidence in social situations.
Another big plus is that implants look a lot more like your original teeth. Your dentist can file the new tooth until it's an exact replica of the one it replaces – he can even colour it to make sure that it fits in perfectly with the teeth around it.
Another beenfit is that implants are very comfortable. Our patients tell us that they forget about them after a few days – they're exactly like the rest of your teeth in terms of how they feel in your mouth.
Also, you brush the new implant at the same time as you're brushing your normal teeth – so there's no having to take themout at night, like dentures, to keep them spick and span.
You might be tempted to think that any new dental technology would be significantly more expensive. That's not the case, however. Here at MyDental, the dental implant process is highly steamlined, so the good news for people out there with a tooth missing is that teeth implants prices in Dublin are now more affordable than ever.
And don't forget that there's no need to write a single cheque for the treatment. You can choose, instead, to spread the cost over three to nime months with our 0% Dental Dinance Plan.
What about those ads for dental treatment abroad?
Sometimes, patients tell us that they've seen advertising for cheap dental implants in overseas locations. Our response is always the same. We ask them to consider the total cost of treatment – including flights, hotel, subsistence etc.
And what happens if there's a problem afterwards and you need to see the dentist again? Your costs will double if you have to travel abroad again.
