Sen. Collins says she will not vote for Donald Trump
by Reuters August 8, 2016 Updated August 9, 2016
WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Susan Collins said Monday she will not vote for fellow Republican Donald Trump for president.
"This is not a decision I make lightly, for I am a lifelong Republican. But Donald Trump does not reflect historical Republican values nor the inclusive approach to governing that is critical to healing the divisions in our country," Collins said in an opinion piece in The Washington Post.
"With the passage of time, I have become increasingly dismayed by his constant stream of cruel comments and his inability to admit error or apologize. But it was his attacks directed at people who could not respond on an equal footing — either because they do not share his power or stature or because professional responsibility precluded them from engaging at such a level — that revealed Mr. Trump as unworthy of being our president.
"My conclusion about Mr. Trump's unsuitability for office is based on his disregard for the precept of treating others with respect, an idea that should transcend politics. Instead, he opts to mock the vulnerable and inflame prejudices by attacking ethnic and religious minorities."
Before the conventions were held, Maine's Republican senator said she wasn't ruling out the possibility of voting for Democrat Hillary Clinton, though pointing out that it was "extremely unlikely."
In her opinion piece, Collins said she did not support either major-party candidate.
The New York Times reported Monday evening that Collins' opposition could make it more difficult for Trump to compete in Maine, where he campaigned last week in an effort to capture at least one Electoral College vote.
Several of her Senate colleagues — including Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham and Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk — also have ruled out voting for Trump. Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake has repeatedly said he cannot back Trump yet, reports CQ-Roll Call.
Former U.S. Secretary of Defense and Maine U.S. Sen. William S. Cohen also has criticized Trump's recent performance, Maine Public Broadcasting Network reported last week.
Cohen, who served as secretary of defense under President Bill Clinton from 1997 to 2001, is a Republican who says he continues to support Republican candidates. But Cohen said it is unlikely that he'll be voting for Trump. Cohen himself represented Maine in Congress from 1973 to 1997, both in the U.S. House of Representatives and as a member of the Senate.
Cohen said he finds it "very difficult" to have Trump at the top of the ticket. "I have found very little, if anything, that I could find supporting him as a commander-in-chief. … That's not the leader I want to see for this country," MPBN reported.
Also on Monday, a group of 50 former national security officials, all of whom have served Republican presidents from Richard M. Nixon to George W. Bush, signed an open letter calling Trump unqualified to be president and warning that, if elected, "he would be the most reckless President in American history."
The letter offers a withering critique of the GOP nominee, saying he "lacks the character, values and experience" to be president. The signatories declare their conviction that he would be dangerous "and would put at risk our country's national security and well-being."
They state flatly that none of them intend to vote for Trump in November. Some have decided to vote for Hillary Clinton, while others intend to sit out the election or write in another name, said John Bellinger III, a former legal adviser to Condoleezza Rice and the writer of the letter's first draft.
"We also know that many have doubts about Hillary Clinton, as do many of us," the letter says. "But Donald Trump is not the answer to America's daunting challenges and to this crucial election. We are convinced that in the Oval Office, he would be the most reckless President in American history."
In a statement, Trump said the letter writers share the blame for "making the world such a dangerous place."
"They are nothing more than the failed Washington elite looking to hold onto their power, and it's time they are held accountable for their actions," he said.
Trump said the former officials — along with Clinton — took part in the decisions that led to the invasion of Iraq, the deaths of Americans in Benghazi, Libya, and the rise of the Islamic State.
"Yet despite these failures, they think they are entitled to use their favor trading to land taxpayer-funded government contracts and speaking fees," he said.
Although no former secretaries of state signed the letter, it carries the signatures of Michael Chertoff and Tom Ridge, former secretaries of homeland security; Michael Hayden, a former director of the CIA and the National Security Agency; John Negroponte, a former director of national intelligence and deputy secretary of state; Robert Zoellick, who also was a deputy secretary of state and president of the World Bank and the U.S. trade representative under George W. Bush; Carla Hills, the U.S. trade representative under George H.W. Bush; and William H. Taft IV, a former deputy secretary of defense and ambassador to NATO under the elder Bush.
Also signing the letter were several aides who were senior advisers in the White House, State Department and Pentagon. Among them were Eric Edelman, a national security adviser to then-Vice President Richard B. Cheney, and Bellinger, who worked closely with Rice when she was secretary of state and when she was on the NSC.
Bellinger said that some involved with the letter wanted to wait until September to release their views but that the candidate's behavior in recent weeks — from his comments on NATO to inviting Russian intelligence to hack Clinton's emails — galvanized them to move sooner.
"This is not about NATO, it's not about trade, it's not about Russia, it's not about cyber. We really wanted to focus on the character, temperament and judgment that we have seen are required of good presidents," Bellinger said.
Although the signatories all served Republican presidents, many of the criticisms echo those being leveled by the Clinton campaign.
"He appears to lack basic knowledge about and belief in the U.S. Constitution, U.S. laws and U.S. institutions, including religious tolerance, freedom of the press and an independent judiciary," the letter says of Trump.
Later on, it adds, "At the same time, he persistently compliments our adversaries and threatens our allies and friends. Unlike previous Presidents who had limited experience in foreign affairs, Mr. Trump has shown no interest in educating himself. He continues to display an alarming ignorance of basic facts of contemporary international politics."
The letter said Trump "lacks the temperament to be President," and gave a scathing assessment of his ability to take advice, discipline himself, control his emotions and reflect before acting.
"He is unable or unwilling to separate truth from falsehood," the letter states in a particularly pointed criticism of Trump's personal traits. "He does not encourage conflicting views. He lacks self-control and acts impetuously. He cannot tolerate personal criticism. He has alarmed our closest allies with his erratic behavior. All of these are dangerous qualities in an individual who aspires to be President and Commander-in-Chief, with command of the U.S. nuclear arsenal."

Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" Hits #1 on Billboard Hot 100
What doesn't kill you makes you…WIN!
Kelegendary Clarkson just hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)," the second single (and title track) from her fifth studio album, Stronger.
From Billboard:
In what an RCA Records representative terms a "perfect storm" of radio airplay, digital sales and pop culture prominence, Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" rises from No. 2 to No. 1 on this week's Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. The uptempo pop anthem becomes the original "American Idol" champion's third leader on the list.
Not only is this Clarkson's first #1 since 2009's "My Life Would Suck Without You," but it's also producer Greg Kurstin's first #1 single ever–a long overdue achievement. In other words? A whole lot of celebrating is in order!

Armed Man Dies After Hurling Incendiary Devices at ICE Detention Center
Hundreds of people gather in lower Manhattan for a "Lights for Liberty" protest against migrant detention camps and the impending raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) this coming weekend in various cities on July 12, 2019 in New York City.

A man died early Saturday morning after he reportedly tried to attack a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Washington state. More specifically, the man was targeting the Northwest Detention Center, which is the holding facility in Tacoma for ICE. The man apparently approached the privately run facility that is used to hold migrants while they await their deportation proceedings at around 4 a.m. That is when an employee at the prison reported that a man armed with a rifle was throwing homemade incendiary devices at the detention center as well as cars in the parking lot. The man was also allegedly trying to set a propane tank on fire.
Law enforcement officers went to the scene and reported seeing a man holding flares and a rifle. Officers called out to the man and then reported "shots fired." It isn't clear whether the gunman also opened fire on police. When medical help arrived, officers confirmed the gunman had been shot and killed but said it remains unclear whether he was killed by officers or whether he shot himself. The gunman has yet to be identified and there is no word about a possible motive. GEO Group, which runs the facility in Tacoma, said in a statement that incorrect claims about mistreatment of detainees at the facility "have led to misplaced aggression and a dangerous environment for our employees, whose safety is our top priority."
The shooting came a day before the national raids by ICE are set to begin. The effort that had been delayed is meant to arrest 2,000 undocumented migrants with deportation orders. A few hours earlier, protesters had gathered at the detention center in Tacoma to protest. The raids were originally planned for 10 cities: San Francisco, Los Angeles, Houston, Denver, Miami, New Orleans, New York, Baltimore, Chicago and Atlanta. Officials, however, said that due to Hurricane Barry, Houston and New Orleans will not be targeted.

Ten (10) days into the hosting program, Host Parents will be asked to complete a Mid-Point Feedback Survey to evaluate how the placement is going. At this time, we also ask our families to make their adoption intentions known. If the Host Family plans to adopt their host child, an adoption application must be immediately submitted to Madison Adoption Associates accompanied by a $500 application fee. Madison Adoption Associates as your adoption placement agency and will send you the necessary paperwork needed to begin your adop tion process.
If you are still unsure at this mid-point, that is fine! However, the overall goal of this process is to find each child his/her own family, so we may need to start actively introducing the child to other potential families in the community if you do not feel that this child is the best fit for your family.
Ultimately, this program is designed to benefit disadvantaged children who may not get another chance to experience family life. All of us are touched by meeting and getting to know each one of these children. Their faces and stories stay with us long after they have returned to the China.
Please contact us at any time, with any additional questions!

Tan Dhesi MP for Slough
Gatka Federation Meeting
Gatka Meeting
A meeting was held in the British Parliament between office-bearers of the Gatka Federation UK and Guru Nanak Satsang Sikh Temple to discuss preparations for this year's UK Gatka Championship. The national championship has been held on an annual basis, with about a dozen Akharas (teams) participating, in a different town/city each year, commencing in 2013 with Gravesend, then Derby (2014), Southall, Smethwick (Birmingham), Ilford (London) and Slough (2018). This year it will be held at Guru Nanak Satsang Sikh Temple (Cannock Road, Wolverhampton) on Saturday 21 September, between 10am and 6pm.
I'm delighted that for the first time Wolverhampton will be the host city. This is very much a family occasion and provides girls and boys, along with men and women, the platform to show their prowess of this centuries-old Sikh martial art. In addition to the Cannock Road Gurdwara Committee, I would like to thank the Gatka Federation UK Secretary Herman Singh Johal and the entire Committee, who put in so much hard work to make this a reality. Any UK based team that would like to participate should contact us.

RI TRANSIT MASTER PLAN
Rhode Island Releases "State of the System" Report for All Modes of Public Transportation in Rhode Island
Prepared as part of the RI Transit Master Plan Project
How do Rhode Islanders use public transportation? That's just one of the questions answered in a new report which details how well current forms of public transportation – including bus, rail and ferry – are performing in the state.
The "State of the System" report is being released as three state agencies continue their work on Rhode Island's first Transit Master Plan. The Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA), the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) and the Division of Statewide Planning began working on the Master Plan a few months ago and the new "State of the System" report is an important part of the process as they look to determine how public transportation can best serve Rhode Island in the future.
Called "Transit Forward RI," the Master Plan will envision how Rhode Island's transit network should be enhanced and developed to best meet the public's needs. It will recommend near and long-term investments to achieve these goals. The Master Plan is expected to be finalized by the end of this year.
The new "State of the System" report can be viewed on the website
www.TransitForwardRI.com
and the public is encouraged to review the report and share comments.
"In order for us to plan for the future, we have to have a solid understanding of all our current transit services and how they are used today," said Scott Avedisian, CEO of RIPTA. "This 'State of the System' report is extremely valuable in its own right and includes a wealth of information on the different modes of transit service we have," he said. "It's even more valuable because it is providing a foundation for the future as we continue to work with our partners on the state's first transit master plan."
The 100-plus page State of the System report provides a comprehensive overview of all bus, rail and water transportation services operating in the state today.
It looks at factors such as who uses transit in Rhode Island, which bus routes have the highest ridership, and where there will be a need for new or expanded services over the next few decades.
The report also examines some of the challenges affecting the use of transit, and infrastructure improvements that can made to support transit.
"The Division of Statewide Planning looks forward to continuing a close working relationship with RIPTA and RIDOT as we develop components of a long range transportation plan that addresses both present capabilities and future needs" said Meredith Brady, Associate Director of Statewide Planning.
"This State of the System report is an important component of the Transit Master Plan that stands alone as a comprehensive evaluation of existing service, but will also inform future updates to the State Guide Plan."
The www.TransitForwardRI.com website now features an interactive transit map that allows the public to tag existing parts of the state's transit network and add their own comments.
They will have the option of drawing suggested new elements such as bus routes, transit hubs, train stations, park-and-ride lots or ferry routes.
The website will also soon host an interactive forum for public comment.
Here is a sample of some of the many interesting facts that can be found in the new State of the System report:
 Overall public transit ridership in Rhode Island is higher than other southern New England cities such as Worcester and Hartford, and higher than some larger cities around the United States such as Kansas City and Indianapolis.
 There are several areas of the state beyond greater Providence (e.g. Newport, Woonsocket, Narragansett, South Kingston, Warwick, Cranston and Westerly) where the density of activity could support additional transit options.
 The urban core surrounding Providence could effectively support more frequent bus service, and faster, more frequent rail service to Boston.

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and I'm also new in terms of scenery design with FSX KML. I know that there are tutorials available for FSX KML, but I would appreciate some tips in terms of creating coastal cities, such as large coastal cities with different beaches, landclasses as well as islands, shallow water and coral reefs offshore. For example, some tips about the general methods of exclusion polygons would be appreciated. Also, when I create a polygon in Google Earth, do I put the tag in the title or description box? Also, is scenery created with FSX KML compatible with FTX Global? Any help would be appreciated.
The tag goes in description.
I dont well know FSX Global but I think it is compatible because it's just replacement textures.

His writings on theatre have appeared in publications such as Canadian Theatre Review, The Boards, Transmissions.
Patti Allan (appearing with the permission of the CAEA) & Spencer Atkinson, Old Goriot
Don't get excited. Stay calm. Watch. Listen. This seems to be director James Fagan Tait's advice to the spectator in his production of Old Goriot — restrain yourself. His adaptation of Balzac's 1835 novel is starkly placed in the dark expanse of the Telus Studio Theatre. Just a few essential set elements and a large cast decked out in period dress evoke Balzac's Paris, while the dialogue, transposed to recent North American vernacular keeps us anchored in the present. A large scrim forms the back of the playing space, variously taking on a sombre palette of projections, which include baroque wall paper, an opera house, and a Parisian boulevard. To one side, a three-piece chamber orchestra of marimba, double-bass, and bass clarinet remains quietly present. A massive dining table drives forward from the scrim. The action of the play takes place on or around this stage-within-the-stage.
In the opening scene, about fifteen actors, inhabitants of Madame Vaquer's lower middle-class boarding house, line three sides of this table, spooning and slurping their soup in unison, heads falling and rising mechanically. Individual heads then swivel one by one toward the audience as each character makes an introduction. But you've got to listen carefully, don't rustle in your seat — these actors are deliberately keeping the volume down, forcing you to lean forward to catch every word.
What unfolds, in this hushed manner, is the story of Rastignac (Spencer Atkinson), a social climber seeking to marry any moneyed socialite who will have him. Despite the most calculating advice offered by his upper class cousin, the Comtesse de l'Ambermesnil (Anna Hagan), and criminal but advantageous arrangements made under the corrupting influence of the worldly Vautrin (David Mackay), Rastignac keeps getting tripped up by his romantic desire for true love. His affections end up falling on one of the daughters of Old Goriot (Richard Newman), a sombre and mysterious geriatric who also lives in the boarding house despite the fact that his daughters are fashionable ladies of Paris society. Rastignac will learn harsh lessons as he witnesses the daughters' unfeeling betrayal of their father's blind devotion. At one point Rastignac and Delphine (one of Goriot's daughters, played by Cecile Roslin) argue across the body of the dying old man, she wanting to hurry off to the ball, he complaining, "I can hear your father's death rattles."
Despite this melodramatic sounding plot, almost every actor tenaciously underplays his or her part. No emotional ostentation — just simplicity of movement and an almost filmic vocal delivery. Director Tait establishes a tone of dispassionate observation and sticks to it. Even the musical numbers, composed by his longtime collaborator, Joelysa Pankanea, and hauntingly performed by her trio and the actors, are spare and contained. It's Brechtian — that is if Brecht were to produce a period piece and perform it in slow motion. Old Goriot is full of Balzac's shrewd analysis of the grim reality of France's brutally stratified society, and Tait keeps us in an observer's frame of mind by refusing to build dramatic momentum, and undercutting sentimental identification with characters that remain composed, slightly casual, offering only reference to anguish rather than fully embodying it.
Tait's been working this aesthetic since Crime and Punishment, his 2005 adaptation of Dostoyevsky's novel, which was a landmark production in modern Vancouver theatre history. One of the defining features of that production was the inclusion of five actors from the downtown eastside, a neighbourhood that has the dubious claim of being Canada's poorest postal code. Of that production, Vancouver director/dramaturge D.D. Kugler remarked that watching the twenty-five member cast was like seeing a cross-section of the city on stage, something he'd never experienced before. Goriot is a mirror of that show, the main differences lie in the absence of the downtown eastside actors and the much more cynical bent of this play. Where Dostoyevsky's novel builds to a spiritual crescendo, Balzac, through Tait's filter, stays firmly planted on the unrelenting ground of modern class warfare.
In the case of Old Goriot, based on a novel some consider the father of the realist movement in literature, Tait's approach serves the realist's mission of looking at life 'objectively'. He certainly strips Old Goriot's death scene, masterfully played by Newman, of any sentimentality. Realizing his beloved daughters won't be joining him for his final moments, the old man meanders between curses and expressions of undying love, as he tries to come to terms with the lonely predicament of his demise: "They're not coming. I'm going to die like a dog." His monologue is both interminable and engaging — I felt like I was watching the death of giant insect that had suddenly become aware of its own mortality: I was curious, mildly disturbed, and feeling just enough of an ache to raise a flicker of empathy. This scene was the highlight of the production for me. But a kind of low highlight. After all, Tait wouldn't want us getting carried away by grief or laughter. Just stay calm. Listen. Assess.

Katelyn Ohashi – Net Worth, Boyfriend, Height, Parents, Age, Ethnicity, Perfect 10
June 30, 2020 April 8, 2020 by Famous People Today's Staff
Katelyn Ohashi (birth name – Katelyn Michelle Ohashi) is a former artistic gymnast who was the winner of the 2013 American Cup. Katelyn also competed for the University of California, LA.
Ohashi was born on April 12, 1997, in Seattle, Washington, USA, to parents Diana and Richard Ohashi. Her mother is a former high school gymnast.
She is of Japanese and German descent.
Ohashi has three older brothers, Kalen, Kyle, and Ryan.
Katelyn began training in gymnastics at 3 years old. The former gymnast said in an interview:
"I started gymnastics when I was 3 years old."
Ohashi went on to say:
"My mom used to say I did cartwheels in her stomach."
At the age of four, Ohashi was able to do a back handspring.
At age 9, Katelyn moved to Kansas City, Missouri with her mother so she could train at the Great American Gymnastics Express with Al Fong, an American gymnastics coach who coached two Olympic silver medalists – Courtney McCool and Terin Humphrey.
In 2009, she made her debut at the Junior Olympic National Championships. At the competition, Katelyn finished 10th all-around, placed sixth on beam, and won the silver medal on floor exercise.
She won silver medals in the all-around and on bars, beam, and floor in the junior division of the 2010 US Classic in Chicago.
In 2012, Katelyn placed first in the all-around, on uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise at the Pacific Rim Championships.

In April 2013, Katelyn had shoulder surgery.
In 2014, Ohashi suffered from a spine injury and two torn shoulders that required surgery.
In 2015, she graduated from Plano Senior High School. In the same year, she placed 17th at the Pikes Peak Cup in Colorado Springs.
For the 2015-2016 season, Ohashi joined the UCLA Bruins Gymnastics team.
For the 2016-2017 season, she received two perfect 10s and finished the regular season at No. 1 on Balance Beam.
At the 2019 Collegiate Challenge, Ohashi earned a Perfect 10 for a floor routine. A video with her performance went viral – it had more than 100 million views on YouTube and over 44 million views on Twitter.
She said:
"I didn't know what was happening. When I got home, I refreshed my Twitter page and I had 50,000 new followers."
Ohashi later added:
"It was crazy. I got screenshots from friends of celebrities tweeting about me and retweeting the video."
Later, Katelyn criticized NCAA for its rules and said she couldn't make any money from her image. In a video for the New York Times, Ohashi said: "Everyone Made Money Off My NCAA Career, Except Me." She also said:
"The NCAA is a billion-dollar industry built on the backs of college athletes."
Ohashi continued:
"How different would things be for me had I been able to use my image and name my last year of school in order to promote the things I want to further my future?"
Here is a list of all her Perfect 10s:
Pac-12 Championship – March 23, 2019;

During her career as a gymnast, she became a victim of body-shaming. During a 2018 interview, Katelyn confessed:
"I had a horrible relationship with food and didn't really understand why I was supposed to hate it, but I loved it so much at the same time."
She has a rare skin condition, granuloma annulare (a rash that looks like a ring of small pink or skin-colored bumps). The former gymnast explained: "It covers my entire body. Some look like bruises; some are complete circles."
Her hobbies include going to the beach, working with homeless shelters, shopping, photography, poetry, and writing.
She supported California's Fair Pay to Play Act, a bill signed in 2019, but only goes into effect in 2023. The bill permits college athletes to be paid for endorsements. Ohashi said: "It's about empowering student-athletes to rightfully earn off their individual name."
Katelyn Ohashi – Net Worth
Ohashi earned most of her wealth from participating in gymnastics competitions. Ohashi also makes money from sponsored posts on her Instagram account (katelyn_ohashi), which has over 1 million followers. Therefore, Katelyn Ohashi has an estimated net worth of $0.3 million.

Classic Hollywood, Entertainment
Spotlight on Rags Ragland
When I heard about the What a Character! Blogathon focusing on character actors I knew just who I wanted to write about – the gentle giant, 'Rags' Ragland.
'Rags' Ragland was born John Lee Morgan Beauregard Ragland in 1905. Hailing from Louisville, Kentucky he worked various odd jobs (boxer, truck driver, film projectionist) before becoming a comedian on the burlesque circuit. Burlesque was one of the main outlets for early 20th century comedians and 'Rags' honed his skills on various stages around the country. Eventually he made his way to the top of the burlesque circuit becoming the featured comic in the famed Minsky's revue. In 1940 he made his "legitimate" theatrical debut in the Broadway show Panama Hattie starring Ethel Merman. Shortly after he moved west to try his hand in the picture business.
Essentially typecast as a lovable oaf 'Rags' Ragland spent his entire film career at MGM starting with the Ann Sothern vehicle Ringside Maisie. In 1942 he would rejoin Sothern and reprise his Broadway role in the film adaptation of Panama Hattie.
Thinking back I can't recall my first introduction to Mr. Ragland. It may have been Abbott and Costello in Hollywood – one of the duo's few MGM films. Or it could have been Anchors Aweigh – Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra's first pairing. I do know I first became a fan of his gentle comedic talent in the Whistling film series starring Red Skelton and Ann Rutherford.
This trio of films truly showcases 'Rags' comedic skills. Playing the dual role of Chester and Sylvester 'Lester' Conway 'Rags' really shines.
Neither character is particularly bright but Sylvester is a legitimate hood while Chester is his above board twin brother. Interestingly, both brothers are featured in only one of the films. In Whistling in the Dark we only know the criminally minded Sylvester, in Whistling in Dixie both brothers are continually mixed up and in Whistling in Brooklyn we enjoy Sylvester alone as he acts on the right side of the law. It's a true delight to watch Ragland shine in these madcap roles.
'Rags' Ragland continued his career in supporting roles in such classics as The Canterville Ghost, Du Barry Was a Lady and Girl Crazy.
Girl Crazy is a particular favorite of mine. In it Ragland is cast as…wait for it…'Rags.' A ranch hand at rural Cody College he pairs well with the film's stars Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney. In one particular scene Ms. Garland sings the Gershwin classic But Not for Me to a visibly moved 'Rags.' I dare you to watch the scene without shedding your own tears.
Sadly, 'Rags' film career would end a few years later with his untimely death at the age of 40. A longtime carouser he grew suddenly ill after a bender in Mexico with Orson Welles. His liver and kidneys destroyed from years of alcohol abuse he died of uremic poisoning on August 20, 1946. A beloved figure in Hollywood his funeral was well attended by his peers including Frank Sinatra who sang in tribute.
Although his film career was very short his talent endures. A skilled comedian his performances are a joy to watch nearly 70 years after his death. He remains an integral part of Hollywood's Golden Age.

You know, I can't remember ever discovering "Rags", either. It seems like he was always there.
It's always to sad to read about this talented man dying so young… 🙁

He was a true presence onscreen.
Kim November 24, 2015 at 1:03 am
Thanks for sharing this tribute! I love him in WHISTLING IN THE DARK – he nailed both of those roles, and that can't be easy playing two characters in the same film. Very sad that he died so young.
Ah, I meant WHISTLING IN DIXIE for the dual roles!
It's easy to mix the two up:-) I love him in the films, too!

Football boot release: Adidas launch Pibe de Barr10 – signature boots for Lionel Messi that pay homage to star's hometown
Posted on March 16, 2015 March 16, 2015 by samsportlocker Posted in Adidas, Football, Football boot releasesTagged adidas, Football boots, hometown, Leo Messi, lionel messi, Pibe de Barr10, sport-locker.net
2015 so far has belonged to Leo Messi. No player in any major league has scored more goals than the Argentinian.
Now, adidas has unveiled the new boots that will be worn by the great man, and Sport-locker.net has all the details…
Behold the new Pibe de Barr10, inspired by the Barrio of Las Heras, Rosario, where Messi learned to play the game.
Las Heras was where Leo Messi first began his journey to becoming the greatest player on earth. The streets and pitches of the Barrio are where he first shaped his game.
The new Pibe de Barr10 were designed in collaboration with Rosario-born graphic artist Ignacio Valenti in a style that pays tribute to Messi's childhood. Fusing urban-inspired raw brush strokes with polished sleekness on the synthetic hybrid touch upper, the Pibe de Barr10 embodies Leo Messi's footballing style; beautiful, yet dangerous.
Speaking about his new signature boots, Leo Messi said: "I did leave Rosario when I was young, but I still have my people, my neighborhood, and my favorite spots. Pibe de Barr10 have a lot to do with my life, my childhood and a lot to do with me."
The boot has been created as part of the #therewillbehaters series that celebrates the "hate" at the heart of football. There were some that never believed Leo Messi would leave Rosario, but he has gone on to break records and win trophies. You don't get to be the best in the world by listening to the doubters. Messi wears the Pibe de Barr10 and there's nothing the haters can do to stop him.
The Pibe de Barr10 contain the latest product innovations demanded by the best in the world. The speed traxion stud alignment and outsole are modeled on sprinters' spikes, to provide the speed and agility to dominate on the pitch. 360˚ DRIBBLETEX coating provides for unprecedented control. In wet or dry conditions, the ball will stick like glue.
The world's best player Leo Messi will wear the new Pibe de Barr10 from Wednesday 18th March, with the boots available to purchase the following day. For further information please visit www.adidas.com/messi or go to www.facebook.com/TeamMessi or follow @TeamMessi #ThereWillBeHaters on twitter to join the conversation.

Test and fix SSLv3 on Debian.
First test if your SSL will allow SSLv3.
Everything is fine and SSLv3 is not available. If your Server sends a correct handshake then you have to disable it !
Having configuration hints for disabling SSLv3 on all major services in one place saved me lots of time.
The first option is generally NOT a good idea since many mailservers do not support encryption.
actually does not work for OpenSSL on Debian Stable, cause this disables TLSv1.0 and TLSv1.1 too. I don't know what the hack is the problem with the openssl library in Debian but it does not sperately list TLSv1.0 and v1.1. So if you place !SSLv3 in your CipherChain you will only be able to talk to TLSv1.2 capable clients. Trying to connect e.g. With the webkit browser in Android 4.3 will fail, chrome instead works as it seems to bring its own SSL library.
Hmm, I can't confirm this problem.
only disables SSLv3 and I can still connect using TLS 1.0.
And I have restarted the apache service.
And please check if you configure your module not in other config files.

Q: Generic delegate or generic cast problem How can i make the following code compile?
    Action<MyClass<object, object>> func = x => Console.WriteLine(x.ToString());

    public void Apply<T1, T2>(MyClass<T1, T2> target)
    {
        func.Invoke(target);
    }

I know it doesnt work because a MyClass<T1, T2> isnt a MyClass<object, object>, but what can i do?
Can i make the function generic?
or
Can i cast target?
either way, how?
If it helps, nothing in the func will ever do anything T1 or T2 specific. I know this assumption could make it fragile, but unit tests should catch any issues.
Edit: I'm avoiding the problem at the moment with loads of empty interfaces that i'd rather do away with!
Thanks

A: Well, one option is to write a generic method to return the right type of function:
public void Apply<T1, T2>(MyClass<T1, T2> target)
{
    GetFunc<T1,T2>().Invoke(target);
}

private Action<MyClass<T1,T2>> GetFunc()
{
    return x => Console.WriteLine(x.ToString());
}

Alternatively, if you really want to be able to declare an "I can work with any MyClass" action, I suggest you create a non-generic type MyClass, and make MyClass<T1,T2> derive from it:
public class MyClass
{
    // Put common stuff in here
}

public class MyClass<T1, T2> : MyClass
{
    // Put stuff using T1 and T2 here
}

Then you can just use an Action<MyClass> instead.

A: In the particular case you have mentioned, you simply need to change Action> to Action, because you are not using any methods particular to 'MyClass'.
If you want to use methods particular to 'MyClass' which do not depend on the generic types, then you should define a base class containing those methods, derive MyClass from it, and use the base type as your argument type for the delegate.
If you want to use methods particular to 'MyClass' which do depend on the generic types, then you should create a delegate with the correct types at call-time.

Spiritual Healing Trail at Darebin Parklands
The spiritual healing Trail is located at the Darebin Parklands in Alphington. The trail was a gift from the Aboriginal community as a gesture of Reconciliation. The Spiritual Healing trail aims to promote good health and wellbeing by providing a sense of connection to the land. The trail was established by Aboriginal Elder, the late Uncle Reg Blow in partnership with us. See Spiritual Healing Trail Map.
Stolen Generation Marker
The Stolen Generation Marker is a project initiated by the Aboriginal Advisory Committee. It gives recognition to members of the Aboriginal community whose lives have been affected by the assimilationist policies of previous governments when Aboriginal children were taken away from their families and fostered to White Australian families. The impact of such policies has been devastating and still felt down the generations of today. The importance of this Marker is very significant and was launched on Sorry Day 2015.
National Sorry Day 26 May
National Sorry Day is an annual ceremonial event that is held in Australia on 26 May and coincides with the launch of the 1997 'Bringing them Home' report. This date has great significance for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who were forcibly removed under the assimilation policies of past Governments. Sorry Day is about commemorating and raising awareness among politicians, policy makers, and the wider public about the significance of the effect upon those forcibly removed under those policies by past Government and marks their impact that this policy has had on those children that were taken from their families across Australian Aboriginal communities.
National Reconciliation Week 27 May – 3 June
National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is celebrated across Australia each year between 27 May and 3 June. The dates commemorate two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey: the anniversaries of the successful 1967 referendum and the High Court Mabo decision. The week is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures and achievements and to explore how each of us can join the national reconciliation effort.
National Reconciliation Week is 27 May – 3 June
2021 marks twenty years of Reconciliation Australia and almost three decades of Australia's formal reconciliation process.
This year's theme, More than a word. Reconciliation takes action, urges the reconciliation movement towards braver and more impactful action.
It calls on non-Aboriginal people to always privilege and amplify First Nations' voices in the call for reconciliation and justice. It encourages us to take concrete actions to progress reconciliation and justice for all First Nations peoples.
Watch Reconciliation Australia's video to learn more about the theme.
National Reconciliation Week #NRW2021 reminds us that we all have a role to play when it comes to reconciliation, and in playing our part we collectively build relationships and communities that value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, cultures, and futures
The dates for NRW remain the same each year; 27 May to 3 June. These dates commemorate two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey— the successful 1967 referendum, and the High Court Mabo decision respectively.
Local activities to engage our community

Indonesia Confirms Boeing Plane Crashes Near Airport with 62 People Onboard
BY :THE JAKARTA GLOBE
Jakarta. A Boeing 737-500 with 62 people onboard crashed shortly after takeoff from the Soekarno-Hatta Airport in Tangerang, Banten on Saturday afternoon, a senior official has confirmed.
Transportation Minister Budi Karya Sumadi confirmed when asked if the plane operated by Sriwijaya Air has crashed after Air Traffic Control reported that it lost contact with the plane at 2:40 p.m. Jakarta time, just around four minutes after takeoff for Pontianak, the capital of West Kalimantan.
"It crashed near Laki Island," the minister told local news website Detk.com.
Located only 24 kilometers northwest of the airport, the island belongs to Thousand Islands District, Jakarta.
A district official identified as Surachman told Kompas.com local fishermen had reported that they heard twin explosions in the waters near the island. There was a heavy rain at the time of the incident, he said.
According to the passenger manifest, the plane carried 62 people including 12 cabin crews, Minister Budi said.
Sriwijaya Air said it was still gathering information from the ground and said it would soon issue an official statement.
Data shared by Flightradar, a Swedish internet-based flight tracker, showed the Boeing 737-524 aircraft lost more than 10,000 feet of altitude in less than one minute.
The aircraft was 26 years old, starting operation in May 1994, Flightradar data showed.
Sriwijaya has operated the plane since 2012.

"Shark Tank Week" #1 in Ratings
Shark Tank Week Shatters Rating
There's been a lot of talk about changing the normal Shark Tank Friday Night time slot on ABC to a more preferred time. But as Shark Tank Week is proving to show some of the best reruns, it doesn't matter which night they air the show; it still beats everything else on TV.
With extreme competition last night from NBC's new show hosted by Ryan Seacrest "Million Second Quiz" that's making its premiere showing this week, Shark Tank was able to beat the ratings by double digit numbers on the third night.
Fox's "X-Factor" also had its season premiere last night, but was no competition for The Shark Tank Show. Not even a new episode of "Big Brother" was able to come close to the rating's posted last night. Shark Tank clearly was the #1 Show beating all the competition on a Wednesday night.
In fact, Day 4 of "Shark Tank Week" has gained viewers every single night so far this week with yesterday's number's being the highest it's been in over 4 months. Considering the best ratings before last night was Season 4 Finale, this is a very impressive record indeed. It's one of the few shows I can watch multiple times and always seem to learn something new.
Can Shark Tank keep this record going and improve on the numbers featuring Daymond John's favorite episode tonight? Tonight's episode was the season 3 finale and the episode when I became a big fan of Daymond John. I have seen every Shark Tank Show ever produced and some seem to stand right out of the crowd. Tonight's Show's definitely one of them!
My money's on Tonight's Shark Tank Week will improve it's already impressive number's and be the #1 in the ratings yet again. No doubt about it, Shark Tank is Definitely the #1 Reality Business Show ever seen on T.V.

The giant 63 gallon main fuel tank is discreetly hidden underneath in the stock location. The heavy gauge steel fuel tank made by Transferflow weighs about 220 pounds empty, and is exponentially stronger than the small 38 gallon stock plastic tank.
The Fast Fill feature allows you to use the larger big rig fuel filler nozzle at the gas station to fill the first 60 gallons at full speed. The last 3 gallons only take a minute to fill. Previously the last 7 gallons would take 5-10 minutes to complete the fill.
The underside is also very clean. To the left is the Gearvendors 2 speed auxiliary overdrive transmission that mounts behind the stock transmission and transfercase, which doubles all of your forward gears and splits shifts in between them. To the right it the hi volume hi pressure air pump the supply the rear air bags as well as to a air tank for airing up tires, etc.
The newly built Ford 5 speed overdrive transmission with only 20k miles on it, is seen under a very clean front Dana 60 solid axle. The underside was washed with an underbody flush 2 to 3 times every week at the same time the truck was washed, which was every few days. A beautiful truck like this deserves 360 degree care which is one of the reasons it still looks like new everywhere you look!

6 new BF Goodrich rugged Trail tires were installed only 9,000 miles ago and were balanced using internal balancing beads so you will never have to balance them again for the life of the tire, which should be a long time. The last set lasted 66,000 miles and still had safe usable tread on them.

Mikel Arteta reveals the one reason why Emile Smith Rowe hasn't been an Arsenal regular recently
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has been speaking about Hale End graduate Emile Smith Rowe's game time
Aaron Catterson-ReidFootball Trends Writer
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has explained why Emile Smith Rowe has been in and out of the starting lineup in recent times.
Smith Rowe is the Gunners' leading goalscorer this season, netting eight times in the Premier League and twice in the Carabao Cup.
Despite his excellent exploits in the final third, the England international hasn't started a league match since the 3-2 loss to Manchester United over four weeks ago, with Gabriel Martinelli preferred on the left flank whilst Martin Odegaard has been starting as the number ten.
Now, Arteta has revealed the reasoning for this, admitting that the youngster has struggled with some fitness problems.
Arsenal news and transfers LIVE: Wijnaldum latest, Dusan Vlahovic twist, Bruno Guimaraes blow
Arsenal's two Dusan Vlahovic alternatives named amid major transfer boost
"Well the main reason (behind) that was because he wasn't completely fit to playm," Arteta said when asked why Smith Rowe hasn't been starting recently.
"He's been carrying an issue, and that hasn't allowed him to train regularly, to play regularly, and that was the main reason. Because in his performances, and what he did before that international break – there is no question that he was one of our more important and consistent players.
"The only reason that changed the dynamic was that – and obviously now that the team (has been) doing well, there are other players who are doing well, and have been performing well. That changed the situation, but I am very happy with him."
The Spaniard added: "This is why we need that, we raise the level. Each player raises the level of the player next to him, and this is how you evolve as a team.
"How you create a culture around the team, that when I get the opportunity I have to grab it. That a statement should be done on the pitch, and not talking or making comments, and when you have the opportunity, grab it.
"Then show how good you are, and then if you do that you continue playing."

TWO amazing concerts THIS WEEK!
Any ideas? Mum's FaceTime and "Some Enchanted Evening"
Well I'm beyond excited as this Wednesday I leave for the UK to see my family whom i've not seen for a year!! Doug is staying here to take care of the Homestead and leave me to run riot and polish up my Julie Andrews accent!!
I am so busy with teaching as of late and up to 30 students now in my studio. I cannot tell you how rewarding it is to see them practice and improve. Consequently their confidence and self-esteem grows and that is just a magical thing to behold ESPECIALLY when you consider that most vocalists err on the side of being introverted.

Graveman tosses 2-hitter, Davis homers as A's rout White Sox

Nam Y. Huh
CHICAGO (AP) Kendall Graveman was so dominant it left Oakland Athletics manager Bob Melvin searching for a clock.
''I was looking to see what time it was. It felt like it was an hour and 55-minute game, at least on his end,'' Melvin said. ''We've seen him pitch well. We've seen the sinker, we've seen the cutter. We just haven't seen a shutout like this.''
Graveman faced one batter over the minimum while throwing a two-hitter, Khris Davis hit his 31st home run and Oakland beat the Chicago White Sox 9-0 on Friday night to hand James Shields his 15th loss.
Graveman (9-8) allowed leadoff singles to Jose Abreu in the third and Adam Eaton in the seventh. Both were immediately doubled off first on line drives. Justin Morneau reached on an error by first baseman Yonder Alonso in the eighth.
Graveman struck out five and needed 97 pitches for his second complete game of the season and his first career shutout.
Time of game: 2 hours, 23 minutes.
''I thought we mixed pitches, especially second and third time through,'' Graveman said. ''I wanted to kind of keep some guys off balance and then went right back to the bread and butter, the sinker.''
Stephen Vogt and Alonso also homered for the A's, who snapped a five-game losing streak.
Shields (5-15) matched a career-high for losses in a season set with Tampa Bay in 2010. The three homers allowed gave him a major league high-tying 29 and the six earned runs in 4 2/3 innings gave him a major league-high 91.
The right-hander has allowed 27 earned runs in 14 innings over his last four starts for the White Sox, who have dropped 10 of 13.
''Lately, I'm not getting the job done with runners on base,'' Shields said. ''When you give up homers it's fine, as long as no one's on. That's not what I'm doing right now. I need to get better at that.''
Shields walked three, including .211-hitting Max Muncy in the second to force in a run. Davis hit a solo shot to left in the third and Vogt and Alonso connected with two outs in a four-run fifth.
Davis also singled, doubled and scored three runs and Vogt added an RBI double for the A's, who had scored three or fewer runs in 12 of their previous 19 games.
Graveman came in having allowed five home runs in his last four starts. But the 25-year-old righty set a career-high for wins as he takes over a bigger role with the A's disabled list loaded with 15 players, including Sonny Gray.
''We're seeing a guy grow. We're seeing a competitor,'' Alonso said of Graveman. ''We're seeing a guy pound the strike zone, tons of ground balls. It's a lot of fun.''
Athletics: RHP Jesse Hahn (shoulder) will come off the DL and start Sunday. That moves RHP Zach Neal to the bullpen. . RHP Henderson Alvarez (shoulder surgery) is scheduled to throw a 25-pitch bullpen Saturday with Josh Phegley (knee) catching. . LHP Sean Doolittle (shoulder) will throw again Saturday for Triple-A Nashville and could rejoin the team next week.
White Sox: 2B Brett Lawrie, on a rehab assignment for a hamstring injury, experienced quadriceps soreness earlier in the week. He was scratched from the lineup Friday for Double-A Birmingham. . OF Avisail Garcia (knee) is expected to begin a rehab stint in the next few days.
CRISP PLAYS
A's LF Coco Crisp led off and went 0 for 5 in his 95th game of the season. He will need to play in 35 of the final 40 games to reach 130 and trigger a $13 million vesting option for 2017. Crisp told reporters earlier in the week he feels the A's are intentionally trying to keep him from that mark.
SEMIEN'S STREAK
A's SS Marcus Semien had an RBI single in the eighth while playing in his 124th consecutive game. But that streak may soon end.
''His wife is going to have something to say about that,'' Melvin said.
Semien's wife is due Saturday.
White Sox ace Chris Sale (14-6, 3.30 ERA) seeks his first win since July 2 when he faces fellow lefty Ross Detwiler on Saturday night. Sale has allowed eight earned runs and 15 hits in his last two starts.
