Externalization serves the purpose of custom Serialization, where we can decide what to store in stream.
Externalizable interface present in java.io, is used for Externalization which extends Serializable interface. It consist of two methods which we have to override to write/read object into/from stream which are-
// to read object from stream
void readExternal(ObjectInput in)
// to write object into stream
void writeExternal(ObjectOutput out)
import java.io.*;
class Car implements Externalizable {
static int age;
String name;
int year;
public Car()
{
System.out.println("Default Constructor called");
}
Car(String n, int y)
{
this.name = n;
this.year = y;
age = 10;
}
public void writeExternal(ObjectOutput out)
throws IOException
{
out.writeObject(name);
out.writeInt(age);
out.writeInt(year);
}
public void readExternal(ObjectInput in)
throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException
{
name = (String)in.readObject();
year = in.readInt();
age = in.readInt();
}
public String toString()
{
return ("Name: " + name + "\n" +
"Year: " + year + "\n" +
"Age: " + age);
}
}

Some protection products interfere with TCP connections. For example, a product named X3 Protect has been known to block connection attempts to local PostgreSQL servers. If you are having trouble connecting to a local PostgreSQL server, try disabling your firewall, or add an exception for port 5432.
This error message usually appears when there is a problem with the /etc/hosts file. Make sure there is an entry for localhost. As a workaround, you can also type “<IP_ADDRESS>” into the host field instead of “localhost”.
There are two ways to connect to a local PostgreSQL server:
Postico always uses TCP connections. Postico can't use socket connections because sandboxed apps are not allowed to access unix sockets outside their sandbox.
By default, PostgreSQL is always configured to listen for TCP connections on localhost, so that should not be a problem unless you explicitly disabled TCP connections.


Jeffrey Epstein’s death the result of ‘a perfect storm of screw-ups’
US attorney general comments on case after prison officers charged with falsifying records
The death of Jeffrey Epstein was the result of a “perfect storm of screw-ups”, US attorney general William Barr has said.
His comments came days after two prison officers responsible for guarding Epstein were charged with falsifying records.
Tova Noel and Michael Thomas are accused of sleeping and browsing the internet instead of checking on Epstein, who killed himself in his jail cell in August.
Manhattan federal prosecutors had charged the 66-year-old, whose influential circle of friends included Donald Trump and the Duke of York, with sex trafficking of girls as young as 14. He denied the charges but had been dogged for decades by claims that he had paid dozens of girls for sexual acts in Florida.
Mr Barr said he initially had his own concerns about Epstein’s death due to numerous irregularities at the Manhattan prison. As the FBI and justice department investigated the matter, he said he realised there were a “series” of mistakes made that gave the financier the chance to take his own life.
“I can understand people who immediately, whose minds went to sort of the worst-case scenario because it was a perfect storm of screw-ups,” Mr Barr said.
Epstein’s death has cast a spotlight on the Bureau of Prisons, which has been plagued by chronic staffing shortages and outbreaks of violence.
The indictment unsealed this week against the officers offers a damning glimpse of safety lapses inside a high-security unit at the Metropolitan Correctional Centre in New York.
Mr Barr said federal prosecutors in New York are making good progress while they continue to investigate allegations against Epstein, and he is hopeful people “will see results soon”.
A lawyer for Mr Thomas claimed both guards are being “scapegoated”.
Mr Noel’s lawyer said he hopes to “reach a reasonable agreement” with the government to avoid a trial. – AP

Graphic Generation Pipeline¶
Leland Wilkinson identified that there is a pipelined process in graphic generation.
Source¶
The data source
Variable¶
Variable represents a property of an object.
Algebra¶
Varset algebra: there are operations between varsets. (e.g. cross, nest, blend)
This concept is not properly adopted into G2. Therefore it is not included in pyG2 also.
map of variables is closely related to cross operation. e.g name*cyl
Scales¶
Scales are mapping values of the variables to dimensions of a coordinate system.
Statistics¶
More oftenly what we want to visualize in the graphic is differs from raw data points. (Remember linear regression) Therefore statistics is to alter positions of data points.
Geometry¶
Geometry is to map data with unbounded dimensions into bounded graph dimensions.
Coordinate¶
Coordinates are coordinates of the graph space.
Aesthetics¶
Aesthetics are the observable physical properties of the graphics.
Renderer¶
Renderer generates the graphic
Variable vs. Varset¶
To define a variable we need three things.
Set of objects
Set of values
Function mapping objects to values
To define a varset we need,
Set of values
Set of objects
Function mapping values to objects
What is the difference? In varsets value has more priority than objects. In a graph basically we represent values. An object may be a certain data point. Coordinates are values. Therefore graphs are made of varsets.
Graph vs. Graphic¶
Graph is a mathematical representaion of a bounded multidimentional space. A graph is an abstract entity.
Graphic is to represent a graph in observable physical properties (aesthetics) such as position, color, shape.
Explanation of Pipeline¶
Pipeline is the process of generating any graphic. First we have to get data from a source. Then we have to create variables and turn them into varsets. Then using varset algebra we create complex varsets. Thereafter you have to map variable into a dimension. (Dimension gives a direction or order to the values.) Then you have to alter positions of the data points to find the points that are to be visualized in the graphic. Upto here we worked with arbitrary dimension. Then we should specify coordinate system related to the graphic space. Then we can choose aesthetic to visualize the graph. Finally we render the graph through a rendering mechanism.
We cannot by-pass these steps. This is the way we naturally generate a graphic visualization.
Wilikinson suggested to go through this pipeline and to provide functions to work on relevent steps of the pipeline instead of giving ad hoc functions for certain chart types.
Instead of providing list of specific usages, this architecture provides a grammar to generate any graphic as you wish.

"It was great to see Ben Holder so well received, he is an extraordinary talent."
Click here to read the full review"One of the most gifted and exciting young jazz violinists in the UK"
Ben Holder is one of the most gifted and exciting young jazz violinists in the UK. Taught classically from the age of six, he studied at the Birmingham Conservatoire. During his classical studies, Ben began listening to Jazz - classic masters such as Benny Goodman and Oscar Peterson and of course the great jazz violinists including Grappelli, Joe Venuti and the awe inspiring Stuff Smith.
Alongside his early studies and later at college he embarked on a detailed analysis of these musicians techniques and the way in which they merged this most classical of instruments into the jazz idiom.
Ben's innate sense of swing rhythm (something which often eludes classical players) stems from those early listening sessions - and his various awards bear testimony to his abilities. A first call jazz violinist for many of the North's top bands and studios.
For Ben's upcoming public gig dates please see the calendar below.

DELTA OF VENUS "Life is Too Short for Soft-Core Porn" A film review by Greta Christina Copyright 1995 Greta Christina
New Line. Directed by Zalman King. Starring Audie England and Costas Mandylor. Written by Elisa Rothstein. Produced by Evzen Kolar. Rated NC-17.
When I told a friend of mine about DELTA OF VENUS, his response was to describe a cartoon he once saw in the New Yorker. The caption read, "Life is too short for soft-core porn."
That's DELTA OF VENUS in a nutshell. The actual review of this movie is going to be very short. In a word: Stinkeroo.
Directed by Zalman King (the same genius who wrote 9 1/2 WEEKS and wrote and directed WILD ORCHID), DELTA OF VENUS is a quasi-mainstream art-sex movie loosely based on the wonderful collection of short stories by Anais Nin. There's a vague plot about the erotic and artistic awakenings of the main character Elena (Audie England), who is loosely based on Anais Nin, and her torrid and painful relationship with Lawrence (Costas Mandylor), who seems to be loosely based on Henry Miller. But the plot is pretty much a joke, a frayed and tenuous thread whose sole function in life is to string together the various erotic stories and fantasies that Elena experiences and/or imagines.
Hmmm.  Sound familiar?   So why does DELTA OF VENUS fall under my jurisdiction as the Spectator's mainstream film critic? In one word: NC-17.
One might ask what difference there really is between NC-17 and X. There does seem to be a distinction of some sort, although, like many of our culture's distinctions having to do with sex, it gets rather hazy and inconsistent when you examine it closely. There's the obvious legal difference, of course; NC-17 is copyrighted by the Motion Picture Association of America, whereas the X rating is not. In practical terms, this means an NC-17 movie is one that the studio bothered to submit to the MPAA and get rated.  (It also means, in theory, that movie theaters and newspapers that won't exhibit or advertise porn flicks should be able to handle the NC-17 stuff. However, in practice, the theaters and newspapers have been pissants, and an NC-17 rating makes it almost as hard to get access to the mainstream movie infrastructure as the dreaded X does.)
There is, of course, another difference, one that has to do with the somewhat murkier world of marketing and promotion. To a potential audience, NC-17 signals some degree of serious artistic quality. This seems to translate as no insertion shots, reasonably high Hollywood-style production values, and a somewhat better pretense at "redeeming social importance" than most porn flicks have. (That may be a bit unfair of me; HENRY AND JUNE, the first film to get the NC-17 rating, has more than just a pretense at redeeming social importance; and, in fact I would argue that many porn flicks do as well. That aside, I think the point still stands.) X, on the other hand, signifies ... well, X signifies smut. And more power to it.
But if DELTA OF VENUS and SHOWGIRLS are any indication, there's another, more significant difference between NC-17 and X. The difference: X is better. X is hotter, X is more interesting, and much of the time, X is smarter and better made.
I do realize that there's a big problem inherent in making an NC-17 movie, and that's getting acting talent. After all, Michelle Pfeiffer and Meryl Streep probably aren't going to do arty soft-core porn flicks, even if you ask them nicely and offer them lots of money. (Neither are Antonio Banderas or Ralph Fiennes, more's the pity.) And if you're trying to make a nice respectable NC-17 art-sex movie instead of a nasty old X-rated porn flick, you're probably not going to hire Nina Hartley or Jeff Stryker.
Unfortunately, non-porn people who'll do sex stuff doesn't seem to be the deepest talent pool in the business. If the quality of acting in DELTA OF VENUS (or SHOWGIRLS, another recent NC-17 loser) is any indication, it's a very shallow pool indeed. Audie England's performance as Elena is just terrible, the worst of both worlds; she can't do a hot sex scene, and she can't act. Her idea of deep emotional expression is to pout.  Costas Mandylor as Lawrence isn't much better; his performance consists primarily of a whole lot of smoldering stares. Very blank smoldering stares. He seems to think that smoldering consists of lowering the chin, staring very hard at the camera, and emptying one's mind of all conscious thought.
And the overall quality of the movie is peculiarly dispassionate. It's infested with scenes of people dancing wildly through the streets of Paris, supposedly signifying a mad impetuosity and a surrender to sensual possibilities. But the execution is so fake, so forced, that it winds up having the exact opposite effect. It doesn't have the feel of people giving themselves over to the moment; it feels like people making a stilted and self-conscious attempt to give themselves over to the moment.  Tepid. At best, one or two of them were sort of pretty, interesting to watch, kind of. Not one of them made me wet, and not one of them gave me something to think about the next time I whacked off.
Which leads me to the most important quality that I feel makes X a better animal than NC-17: honesty.  That's not to say that porn filmmakers are never trying to express themselves artistically or politically; I think, at least sometimes, they are. But there's a straightforward quality to X- rated flicks, a direct and unabashed appeal to the audience's desire to look at people having sex, that is almost completely lacking in the world of NC-17. (An odd tangent: My computer's thesaurus program gives the synonyms for "explicit" as "definite, distinct, precise, specific, candid, frank, outspoken, unreserved." Well, maybe it's not a tangent. Maybe it's exactly the point I'm trying to get across.)
So if I like X-rated films for their honesty, the obvious implication is that NC-17 movies are, to some extent, dishonest. (Or, at any rate, that DELTA OF VENUS and SHOWGIRLS are dishonest.) I realize that these are fightin' words, and I'd like to give an example of what I mean. That example, the one that annoys me to the point of infuriation, is the lack of what I call "nudity parity." By "nudity parity," I mean that male and female bodies are exposed roughly equally, with roughly the same degree of vulnerability. To put it more bluntly--if a movie shows pussy, it should show cock as well. And not just one or two brief teasing shots flitting by, either. If there are buttloads of full-frontal female images, there should be buttloads of men in their full-frontal glory as well.
Now, nudity parity is tricky to do if you want your film to get an R rating.  So when I review R-type movies, I do cut them a bit of slack on this issue.
But DELTA OF VENUS isn't rated R. It never stood a chance of being rated R, and I doubt that anybody expected it to.  But in scenes where male frontal nudity would be appropriate, it pulls every coy trick in the book; covering the guy with sheets, having him stand behind sofas, shooting him from the back or from the side or above the waist. (SHOWGIRLS, another NC-17 loser, did the same thing.
Now, if nudity is so important for the movie's artistic statement about sex, then why is all the nudity female? I can only think of two reasons, and I don't think much of either one.  Either way, it's sexist and dishonest.
If Zalman King and Eszterhas/Verhoeven (the writer/director of SHOWGIRLS) are any indication, the guys who make NC-17 movies want it both ways.  They want to make smut, but they want some degree of respectability as well. And for all my criticism of the NC-17 aesthetic, for all my criticism of these filmmakers' lack of courage and vision, I can't argue too much with this desire. In a better world, they should be able to do that ... and other filmmakers, better filmmakers, filmmakers with a serious erotic vision, should be able to do it as well. The distinction between NC-17 and X is, in essence, the distinction between erotica and pornography, between art and smut. And as such, it is useless, pointless, arbitrary, and ultimately damaging to the creative process.

I start by just doing a layer solve with either the white, yellow, green or blue face as the first layer. Ignore the two 1x3x3 layers that pad a 3x3x3 as you restore both shape and color. The next step addresses the finaly layer of the well-known layer method.
The final layer becomes interesting only because the corners don't necessarly solve, though the edges do. To remedy this case, you must realize that there is ambiguity in two of the four edges in the final layer. Two of those edges can be positioned on either side of the cube. The edges mentioned here are those that connect with the 1x3x3 extraneous layers. What you simply need to do is swap their positions, and then the corners will tri-cycle into place.
With the inner 3x3x3 solved, you now need ony solve the two 1x3x3 layers. I solve edges, then corners in one layer, then the same in the other.
Adapted for this puzzle, a useful and well-known sequence for edge perumtation
is A,B,Ai,Bi
where A=2R,U,2Ri,Ui
and B=2Li,Ui,2L,U
.
Tri-cycling corners in the last layer may require a setup of 2F
if you
are using some varient of 2[U,2R,Ui,2R]
.

Ferry service repairs to disrupt service to some communities
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) - The state ferry system plans to halt service to several small southeast Alaska communities until work is completed on one of its vessels.
According to the state transportation department, the ferry LeConte needs costlier work than expected.
The Aurora is scheduled to be brought into dry-dock Monday. It had been scheduled for an annual overhaul.
The department said it can’t afford to fix both and will proceed with repairs on the ferry requiring the least work.
Sam Dapcevich, a spokesman for the ferry system, said Friday that the ferry not repaired would remain laid up. The one that gets work will return to service when the work is done, he said.
Meanwhile, the department said there will be no service to Angoon, Tenakee, Pelican and Gustavus. Haines, Skagway and Hoonah will have reduced service.
The department, in a release, said potential alternatives to continue service while the ferries are offline are being explored.

suppress_stdout_stderr
[source]¶ Bases:
object
A context manager for doing a “deep suppression” of stdout and stderr in Python, i.e. will suppress all print, even if the print originates in a compiled C/Fortran sub-function.
This will not suppress raised exceptions, since exceptions are printedto stderr just before a script exits, and after the context manager has exited (at least, I think that is why it lets exceptions through).


Use this tool to test out different versions of UglifyJS2 (v2.4.5 and newer). Note that there is no support to use UglifyJS3 or uglify-es at this moment.
This tool has access to the latest versions of UglifyJS by typing in a version
in the bar on the top of the page and picks by default the latest stable version.
# How it works
Minified code will appear here after pressing the compile button
Shortcuts can be found on https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace/wiki/Default-Keyboard-Shortcuts
A nicer looking one can be found on https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ace+editor+cheat+sheet&iax=1
You can jump around between many UglifyJS2 versions by typing the reference in
the adress bar above on the web page.

Good: This photo displays good affordance because the door knob is self explanatory. Someone who is looking to turn the knob or enter or exit through the door knows which way to turn in right away. There is no second guessing involved.
Bad: This photo represents a bad image of affordance because the doors are labeled "pull", but there is no handle there for people to pull. This arrangement does not make sense.
Good: This Nike site has virtually no outside noise/distractions on the site that could distract consumers and cause them to leave Nike.com.
Bad: This site for the latest celeb gossip is full of distractions from coupons to other adds that pop up at the top and bottom of the site. That causes users to become annoyed and distracted easily.
Good:This screenshot is the website of a UX consultant.It is very simple, clean, and neat. It gets right down to the point with no distractions along the way.
Bad:This screenshot is from a design website and it is extremely busy! It is hard for a user to come to this site and use it becasue of everything going on. There is not a simple design implemented here.
Good: This image is displaying good mapping because the eyes on the stove and the burners match up with one another. Each eye has a burner that turns it off/on and its effident as to what turns on what.
Bad: This image is displaying bad mapping becasue we do not know what turns what on. The eyes are not correlating with the burners.
Good:On Linkedin the drop down menus display a minimal of 2-4 options for users to choose from. There are not a ton of options that could through users off and make them sit and think about what they should pick.
Bad:This image displays a bad use of Hick's Law because there are more than 2 directions to pick from and it would cause confusion for drivers if they ever came across this. This would also cause serious accidents!

Abstract:
Data mining as the most advanced data analysis technique is gaining popularity. With modern data mining engines, products and packages, like SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS), Azure ML, and R, data mining has become a black box. It is possible to use data mining without knowing how it works. However, not knowing how the algorithms work might lead to many problems, including using the wrong algorithm for a task, misinterpretation of the results, and more. This session is the second of the two sessions that explain how the most popular data mining algorithms work, when to use which algorithm, and advantages and drawbacks of each algorithm as well. Demonstrations show the algorithms usage in different products.

Speaker(s): Dejan Sarka,
Abstract:
Data mining on-premises has a long tradition with Microsoft SQL Server and Machine learning in Azure is the cloud based brother, both supporting a hand-full of great algorithms for your business to grow. This session will be focused on benefits of building a predictive model using Azure Machine Learning (ML) studio and exploring its capabilities. We will cover from 1) Quick introduction to ML to 2) creating ML workspace with data upload, 3) training the data-set and evaluating the solutions/models and 4) using this solutions with ML API Service. With a great support to R language in Azure ML, we will also explore the usage of R script in Azure ML.
Speaker(s): Tomaž Kaštrun,
Abstract:
SQL Server 2014 comes with dozens of new improvements in various areas. Some of the performance features introduced with the 2014 release did not get the needed attention for some reason, though. In this session we will see five new ways to make our applications dramatically faster. And no, neither of these is Hekaton tables nor clustered columnstore indexes.
Speaker(s): Boris Hristov,
Abstract:
The prevailing opinion is that the optimizations for SQL Server are usually only done on the server itself. But is there anything we can do on the client to gain more speed? In this session aimed at .Net and SQL developers, we'll dive into the workings of the .Net SqlClient and give you insight into way more than just SqlCommand.ExecuteReader() and SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery().
Speaker(s): Mladen Prajdić,
Abstract:
SQL Server 2005 made much of information necessary for performance available through easily accessible DMVs. Ad-hoc performance tuning is possible simply with direct queries to the DMVs. Many database today actually show signs of having too many indexes. A degree of index consolidation is possible by visual examination. A more ambitious objective is to build a set of good indexes with no more indexes than necessary. To do this, it is necessary to catalog the index usage of hundreds if not thousands of SQL statements. Impossible or impractical? This can be done by automating execution plan analysis using ExecStats (free on QDPMA.com)
Speaker(s): Joe Chang,
Abstract:
In this session we will advice how to avoid common developer mistakes and show how bad designed queries reduce the SQL Server optimizer's capabilities for choosing an optimal execution plan.
Speaker(s): Miloš Radivojević,
Abstract:
Its quite easy to find business cases where IoT, Stream Analytics, Machine Learning and PowerBI are used as standalone technology or in a synergy. As biologist I am using “Microsoft glasses” to look, understand, and change ecosystems around me. By using this technologies I will show you that their purpose is not just to make your business better but to make the Earth a better place to live.
Speaker(s): Tanja Vukov,
Abstract:
Microsoft released SQL Azure more than three years ago - that's enough time for testing. So, are you ready to move your data to the Cloud? If you’re considering a business (i.e. a production environment) in the Cloud, you need to think about methods for backing up your data, a backup plan for your data and, eventually (sic!) restoring data. In this session, you’ll see the differences, functionalies, restrictions, and opportunities in SQL Azure and On-Premise SQL Server 2008/2008 R2/2012/2014. We’ll consider topics such as how to be prepared for backup and restore, and which parts of a cloud environment are most important: keys, triggers, indexes, prices, security, service level agreements, etc.
Speaker(s): Tobias Koprowski,
Abstract:
In this session I will speak about the various experiences that I made while implementing SSAS Tabular models in enterprise environments over the last years. I will cover all classical steps of BI project: design, development, testing, deployment and maintenance. At the end I will highlight my most important findings and pitfalls which hopefully helps you when you build your own models.
Speaker(s): Gerhard Brueckl,
Abstract:
SQL Server 2014 introduces Extreme Transaction Processing, a brand new memory-optimized data management feature, targetting OLTP workloads. In this session you will learn about two new, and not very well known, features that you can use to share sets of data between modules - either within the database, or between client applications and databases: - Memory-optimized Table Variables; and - Memory-optimized Table-valued Parameters.
Speaker(s): Matija Lah,
Abstract:
From time to time on the forums emerge people in really tough situation: data is deleted, database is in SIMPLE recovery model, and as a cherry on top - there is no backup! It might be boss's private database that nobody has put into backup scheme yet, or some new database that was missing from the backup scheme. It is nearly impossible to recover the lost data from that situation. But I will show you at least three methods. After this presentation, you will be prepared to solve such a tough case. It is really important to know two simple steps you must do really fast, and after that you can relax and extract the data with peace of mind and without time pressure.

ADAMO LECTIO
Humans looked for the gold city of El Dorado for decades, when the real gold was buried in the deep shelves of their own dusty old city libraries. Books have been part of human leisure for centuries now and never in the past have they been so easily accessible. Books contain an overwhelming amount of information narrated through the first hand experience of people via which we can learn and grow. It is a blessing that one can read about the experience and philosophy of likes of Marcus Aurelius, the great Roman Emperor and once upon a time, the most powerful man in the world and learn from his advice about mental health. The huge amount of information available has made it difficult for us to decide which book to read and which not to.We specifically curated a list to make the choice easier for the user.

Stereotype
In your post, consider whether you can identify times when you have been impacted by it.If you have, how did it affect your achievement?
Yes, as a minority in this country, there are certain stereotype that we face in the workforce. I learn to cope with it and not let it bother me. I believe is just something that this generation will have to deal with until the years past and everyone more liberal about the situation.
What questions did you ask yourself? Did you feel it physically?
I didn't ask myself any questions and didn't have any physically attachment with it.
If you don't think you've ever felt it, can you imagine how it would feel to?
I believe that someone can somewhat feel or put them in someone shoes but they will never truly understand the harness until they have to deal it themselves. Like how someone who rich will never know the feeling of struggling for a meal until they experience it themselves.
If you thought others were suffering from it, what could you do to help others in that situation?
People would always think that they would but I think most people won't. In a working environment, a lot of pressure is already place upon the person and adding additional stress to the workload would only turn them away even further.
Can you identify ways to change your behavior or the environment you're in to make it more welcoming and reduce the impact of stereotype threat?
I think the basic kindness is always the key. It doesn't matter the situation, being kind and understanding of someone situation is what is means to be a humble person.

If you’re like me, you’re interested in the web and its overwhelming reach, but you’re also inundated with the mess of information that is learning HTML and CSS. The thing is, these languages are unlike other domains, like Word Processors and Programming Languages. The web is another world, and it’s not the prettiest thing around.
Having learned me some web, I’m here to give a gentle push of encouragement, because, with a little guidance, these domains can be a lot easier than you imagine. Continue reading, and we’ll build a beautiful blog from scratch. We’ll also learn some CSS Grid, Flexbox, and Responsive Design.

LIAR LIAR A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1997 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****): *** 1/2
Life is short so time is precious. From that axiom we derive a fundamental rule of movie going: Don't waste your time at movies starring people whom you know you hate.
Well, as of two weeks ago, I knew that I could not stand Howard Stern or Jim Carrey. The former was merely foul mouthed and the latter was an incorrigible overactor. Since I knew this to be so, I studiously avoided listening to or seeing them. There were more than enough alternatives so skipping their acts was a prudent and obvious decision for me.
Last week I saw Howard Stern's PRIVATE PARTS and found it one of the funniest and sweetest films in a long time. This week it was Jim Carrey in LIAR LIAR, and again, a complete surprise. One of my fellow critics suggested I see LIAR LIAR and the trailers did look promising, but still this was Jim Carrey, whose last appearance was in THE CABLE GUY.
A second confession in as many weeks is in order for my readers. Although his incessant physical comedy can easily exhaust his audience, I thought Jim Carrey's performance was hilarious. I hate slapstick because it usually dissolves into mindless stupidity, but Carrey manages to take this brand of humor to a new level. Carrey has so much skill and dexterity that he could breathe life into a bad comedy, which LIAR LIAR is not. The intelligent script by Paul Guay and Stephen Mazur utilizes Carrey's talent masterfully. I expected his antics, but was surprised by the quantity and effectiveness of the one line repartee.
Director Tom Shadyac has the good sense to let Carrey set the pace. In the not-to-be-missed outtakes during the ending credits, you can see how Carrey was the star around which the other actors revolved. The film's cast has actors who can complement Carrey without ever attempting to upstage him -- probably an insurmountable feat in any case.
As LIAR LIAR opens, five-year-old Max Reid (Justin Cooper) is busying explaining to his class what his father does. Although Max claims his father's profession is being a liar, the teacher corrects him by saying Max must have meant lawyer. The story demonstrates that Max was right. His dad, Fletcher (Jim Carrey), lies non-stop. Like Mitch McDeere in THE FIRM, Fletcher is an insatiable workaholic, who will do anything to advance his career. Also like Howard Langston in JINGLE ALL THE WAY, Fletcher has trouble making the key events in son's life. Unlike these pervious films, however, where the family relationship was not credible, Fletcher is convincing about his love for his son. The chemistry between them, especially in "The Claw" routines, is genuine. Divorced from his wife Audrey (Maura Tierney), Fletcher's part-time relationship with his son has just enough pathos to make the humor more involving.
Fletcher's busy schedule causes him to have to take Max with him one day to the office. "Why don't you go play in the office a minute," Fletcher tells him. "Sue someone for everything they've got."
The film takes the time to setup the long running big joke. Along the way we meet Virginia Cole (Jennifer Tilly).  In a telling bit of dialog, Fletcher interviews Virginia in his office to show her what a hotshot lawyer he is.
"Mrs. Cole, the only problem here is that after you've provided years of faithful service and loving support raising his children --," says Fletcher. "They are his?"
"Oh yeah," she replies. "One for sure."
"After all that, your husband wants to deny you a fair and equitable share of the marital assets based on one single act of indiscretion," explains Fletcher showing how he will frame her case.
"Seven," corrects Virginia. "Seven single acts of indiscretion."
Shrugging Fletcher says, "Whatever."
Max does not approve of his father's lying so he makes a single wish as he blows out his birthday candles, "I wish, for just one day, Dad couldn't tell a lie." Like the simple premise in GROUNDHOG DAY from this one fantasy element springs the charm of the rest of the story.
Feeling compelled to tell the absolute truth can get a person in more trouble than you would imagine. Fletcher meets a woman in the elevator who says it is her first day on the job, and she is surprised that men have gone out of their way to be nice to her. Fletcher takes one look at her bulging breasts and low cut dress and tells her why the men have been so obsequious to her. She belts him one.
Max informs him that, "My teacher tells me beauty is on the inside."
The heart of the show is Virginia's divorce trial. Beside being a sometimes touching and always sidesplittingly funny film, the movie becomes something of a mystery as well as you try to figure out how the trial will end. Suffice it to say that the ending is as imaginative as the rest of this delightful picture.
LIAR LIAR runs a fast hour and a half. It is rated PG-13 for sexual humor and language. This is a mild PG-13. If your kids are old enough to know about sex, they will probably love the film since it is just as likely to amuse a ten-year-old as a fifty-year-old. A good spirited film that had me doubling over in laughter. I give it a strong recommendation and *** 1/2.
**** = A must see film. *** = Excellent show. Look for it. ** = Average movie. Kind of enjoyable. * = Poor show. Don't waste your money. 0 = Totally and painfully unbearable picture.
