HAPPY GILMORE A film review by Michael John Legeros Copyright 1996 Michael John Legeros
(Universal)
Directed by Dennis Dugan Written by Tim Herlihy & Adam Sandler Cast Adam Sandler, Christopher McDonald, Julie Bowen, Frances Bay, Carl Weathers, Dennis Dugan MPAA Rating "PG-13" Running Time 92 minutes Reviewed at Mission Valley Cinemas, Raleigh, NC (13FEB96)
==
Has it really been 16 years since CADDYSHACK? In the better days of comedy-- yes, even the eighties-- the course was played a mix of seasoned pros and young upstarts, like Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, and Rodney Dangerfield. Directors such as Harold Ramis (CADDYSHACK), Ivan Reitman (STRIPES), and John Landis (THE BLUES BROTHERS) were making very funny movies about very silly people, and *everybody* was having a good laugh. Now, too many years later, in what might be called the Chris Farley/Jim Carrey decade, the funniest person on the block is Adam Sandler. Has it really come to this?
Mr. Sandler, a player on TV's "Saturday Night Live," is actually pretty good here. He stars as a hockey player wannabe whose supersonic slap shot lands him on the pro-golfing circuit. His putts are a putz, but he can cross the green in a single stroke and his juvenile antics are bringing the highest ratings to the game in years. There's also a grandmother involved-- and her tax money-- but HAPPY GILMORE is less a mission from God than just an excuse for Sandler to hit things. Such as pucks, balls, and fellow golfers.
Director Dennis Dugan (PROBLEM CHILD) does a great job of sustaining momentum. Though his timing is often off, the seemingly one-dimensional story doesn't grow tiresome until the last twenty minutes. Several familiar faces also give a boost, including Christopher McDonald, Carl Weathers, and Richard "Jaws" Kiel. And don't miss Bob Barker in a priceless bit that starts as a round of golf and ends up as a fist fight with Mr. Sandler. Come on down!
As co-written by Tim Herlihy (BILLY MADISON), HAPPY GILMORE has a rather mean-spirited streak that most of my fellow audience members didn't seem to mind. They laughed at any occasion for Sandler to punch, slug, hit, or curse somebody. Only when I turned around in my seat, did I realize the source of such support: rows and rows of young males, all wearing baseball caps. There must have been a hundred of them.

The Cubs losing baseball games hurts. The Cubs losing to Dusty Baker really hurts. The Cubs bullpen blowing a lead late in the game to Dusty Baker...that makes me want to circle Wrigley Field drinking my pain away. I can handle losses like the one the Cubs were dealt on Opening Day. These blown games are tougher to swallow.
There are no Cubs fans Esmailin (har har) after this game. Caridad became a true part of this 2010 bullpen by giving up two walks, an infield hit and a grand slam to allow the Reds to come from behind and take the series opener, 5-4.
There are many frustrating aspects to last night's game:
- Losing to Dusty Baker
- Giving up 5 runs on only 5 hits.
- Yet another blown save. That's 2 in 4 games.
- Ramirez and Soriano going a combined 0-9. Ramirez seemed to be swinging for the fences with every at-bat. If I remember correctly, he flied out deep twice.
- Ending the game with the bases loaded and a weak dribbler to the mound by Chad Tracy, after benefiting from two Reds errors, is yet another deflating way for the Cubs to wrap up a game.
There are a few positives to take away from this game:
- Silva pitched a great game. He pitched 6 innings and gave up one run off three hits. Given how Silva pitched, I am hoping that health/injury is not the reason he left the game after 6 innings. Silva benefited from a very impatient-at-the-plate Reds team and threw only 71 pitches. I was definitely reminded of the Cubs under Dusty Baker with the way these Reds were hacking early in the count. He's pitched well and I hope Silva is fine. After the game, it was reported that he was experiencing some soreness.
- Derrek Lee had a very un-Derrek Lee-in-April like performance. Lee went 3-4 with an upper-deck shot in the 9th to bring the Cubs within a run.
- The Cubs managed 11 hits against the Reds and forced Homer Bailey out after 5 innings with 106 pitches. I am a fan of patience at the plate.
 Though I am, admittedly, of the panicky and pessimistic breed. At work, I am known as the doomsday Cubs fan. "Eeyore", they call me. Well, it's interesting that two Cubs were quoted saying the exact same things I have said in the last few days. These are from Carrie Muskat's post-game article.
"It's hard -- we should be 3-1 right now," Silva said. "I think we're playing good enough. This is hard, because later on, you're going to need these wins, especially in this division."
"I hope the games we lost now we don't need in September," Alfonso Soriano said.
After the game, Paul Sullivan, of the Chicago Tribune, tweeted that the Cubs are considering bringing Ted Lilly up after one start in Iowa and moving Gorzellany to the bullpen. I hope to see some movement from the organization if this bullpen stuff continues.
If you are in the Chicago-area, you need to get to the Wasting Away in Wrigleyville Pub Crawl today. You know it’s going to be epic if I am driving 360 miles round-trip. Follow Ivy Envy on Twitter for a little commentary (possibly drunken) and photos during the pub crawl.

The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, usually shortened to just Hamlet, was written by William Shakespeare sometime between 1599-1602. It is arguably one of his most famous tragedies. The lines from Hamlet's monologue in act three that begin "To be, or not to be..." have been studied and are widely known even amongst those that are otherwise unfamiliar with Shakespeare's work. Even in Shakespeare's own lifetime, Hamlet would have been performed multiple times and considered remarkably influential. Its appeal has not lessened over time. .

'The China Syndrome' (1979)
A retrospective movie review by Walter Frith
Member of the 'Internet Movie Critics Association' http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Studio/5713/index.html
Propelled with no music score, the heart pounding drama of 'The China Syndrome' carries the entire film. For younger readers, in the spring of 1979, on March 28 to be exact, at 4 a.m., a serious accident occurred at the Three Mile Island nuclear facility in Pennsylvania, outside of Harrisburg. In today's day and age of electronic media where breaking news is almost instant after a major event happens, the fury over this fiasco would have been ferocious. The public didn't need the electronic media in 1979 in the well known forms of the Internet, modems, cell phones or faxes because there was something else interesting to talk about. 'The China Syndrome', starring Jack Lemmon, Jane Fonda and a very fresh Michael Douglas, was released on March 16, just twelve days before the actual nightmare in Pennsylvania. Experts scoffed, critics charged that the film was an unrealistic portrayal of a potentially serious matter, comparing it to what they thought was the impossible scenario painted in 'Dr Strangelove' where a U.S. general goes insane, and on his own, launches a nuclear attack on the Soviet Union using an alternative war plan. It was, perhaps, one of the most under rated controversies of all time in terms of timing a motion picture with an actual occurrence.
I saw the film on my own and again one week later with relatives and ended up seeing it a total of four times in the theatre and I own a videotape of it which is well worn. It's plot would make a great episode of television's 'The X-Files' by working in some paranormal phenomenon to subdue fans of the show, such as myself. 'The X-Files' did a two-part episode in Season 4 based on the TWA Flight 800 tragedy which took place in the summer of 1996. I think the Three Mile Island story was over shadowed somewhat by Russia's Chernobyl disaster in 1986 where a nuclear facility actually exploded and that incident was far worse and had far reaching consequences for parts of the entire planet. One of the reasons I'm writing this review is so that the memory of Three Mile Island and Chernobyl will be activated in the minds of people everywhere from time to time, whenever they log on to this review no matter where they live in the world.
A veteran of two Academy awards and multiple nominations, Jack Lemmon starred as a conscience stricken nuclear plant worker who, along with others by his side, discovers that a serious accident may trigger an even worse one later on. When Lemmon is on the screen you don't care about anything else that's happening, he's that good and he's the best one in the film.
The setting is Southern California, in the Los Angeles area, where a television news reporter (Jane Fonda) and a camera man (Michael Douglas) are filming a documentary on the day to day activities of a nuclear facility. They are escorted by a public relations man who keeps them informed and watches their every move, every step of the way. The television crew arrives at the room where Lemmon and his co-workers are employed. The t.v. people are on the above floor and witness the accident mentioned in the above paragraph while looking through a glass window, commonly found in factories, separating the clerical offices from the other work stations. Douglas secretly films the entire accident through the glass and as he and Fonda arrive back at the station, the unauthorized photography is a matter for serious debate with their employer. Douglas is furious that the station won't air the footage, alleging a cover-up between the station and the executives at the nuclear plant.
The investigation into the disaster is swift, relatively thorough but misses something. This troubles Lemmon, as he cannot accept the plant being back in operation so soon. At a loss of $500,000 a day to the company that operates the facility, money seems to have a language all its own. That's not news. What is fascinating about 'The China Syndrome' is that it moves not only as a stirring drama, but as a well placed thriller that is thought provoking and is undeniably entertaining. It looks so realistic as it moves from scene to scene and its harrowing climax involving Lemmon's suspicions of danger actually happening is comparable in feeling to the atmosphere experienced by a multiple alarm fire or a military ambush.
The lacerating tragedy of the film is developed well from the start by director James Bridges and by the script written by him and two others, T.S. Cook and Mike Gray. They all received an Oscar nomination for their screenplay. Lemmon and Fonda were nominated for Best Actor and Actress, respectively, and I still say that Lemmon gave the best performance of the five but lost to a deserving Dustin Hoffman in 'Kramer vs. Kramer'. Lemmon was still more deserving. If he had more screen time in the film then I believe he would have won. Compounded with the fact that Lemmon had won before for Best Supporting Actor in 1955 for 'Mister Roberts' and in 1973 as Best Actor in 'Save the Tiger', his defeat was more understandable but not necessarily excusable. Lemmon's penchant for playing good guys made his portrayal of a decent man getting stiffed all the more powerful. Jane Fonda and Michael Douglas shine strongly in their roles and if Michael Douglas were more well known to movie audiences in 1979, he might have received a Best Supporting Actor nomination but Douglas did win in 1987 as Best ACTOR in 'Wall Street'. Jane Fonda had also won twice before being nominated in this film. She won in 1971 for 'Klute' as Best Actress and in 1978 in the same category for 'Coming Home'. In my opinion, 'The China Syndrome' should have received a whole fistful of Oscar nominations in such categories as Best Picture, Director for James Bridges and several technical categories but it never happened. I suppose the film will have to live on without peer recognition but audience recognition can be just as significant.

Griezmann has the chance to recover his smile while on France duty
The striker has scored four times for Barcelona but hasn't yet taken off
by sport.esIf the international break is going to do any player any good, it's Barcelona's France forward Antoine Griezmann, who hasn't had the greatest start to life at Camp Nou.
Griezmann works hard, fights and gives his all, but the goals have dried up. It's been weeks since his last strike, which was against Eibar. In total, he has scored four goals since his summer move from Atletico Madrid.
The Frenchman has been sad with how recent games have gone for his club but he now has a chance to rediscover his touch in front of goal. He has been called up by Didier Deschamps for games against Moldova and Albania, opponents who, in theory, he will get chances against and could recover his confidence.
Remember that against Celta Vigo on Saturday, despite not being able to score, Griezmann did have a good chance after linking well with Lionel Messi, the hat-trick hero on the night. Shoots of encouragement in his adaption at Camp Nou.

R.Kelly’s Manager Ex-Tour Manager To Testify In Court
by Modupeoluwa AdekanyeR. Kelly’s former tour manager, Demetrius Smith, will testify on the singer’s marriage to Aaliyah in one of his federal trials but he doesn’t want to see Kelly thrown in prison according to TMZ.
In a statement by Demetrius, he claims he purchased a fake ID for Aaliyah back in 1994, when she was only 15, so she would be able to marry Kelly but he says he doesn’t want that to be the reason Kelly gets convicted.
Prosecutors say the fake ID purchase constitutes bribery, and they’ve added the allegation to the racketeering charge against Kelly in the Eastern District of New York.
The way Demetrius sees it, Aaliyah’s parents have known about the allegation for over a decade Smith wrote about it in his book and spoke out about it in “Surviving R. Kelly,” however, they made their peace with it and moved on. He wants others to do the same.
Demetrius also says he hates to see Aaliyah’s name getting dragged into Kelly’s case all these years after her tragic death, and he thinks prosecutors are just trying to lock Kelly up without looking at the bigger picture.
Instead of a prison sentence, Demetrius thinks Kelly needs to get mental help.
Since the 1990s, Kelly has been the subject of numerous allegations of sexual abuse and misconduct, often with underage girls, all charges he denies.
In 2002, he was indicted on 13 counts of child pornography but was acquitted of all charges in 2008.
In January 2019, a widely viewed Lifetime docuseries titled Surviving R. Kelly detailed allegations of sexual abuse by multiple women, allegations Kelly denies.
Facing pressure from the public using the Mute R. Kelly hashtag, RCA Records dropped Kelly. On February 22, 2019, Kelly was indicted on 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse.
On July 11, 2019, Kelly was arrested on federal charges alleging sex crimes and obstruction of justice.
Kelly faces a total of 18 federal counts, including child pornography, kidnapping, and forced labor, as of July 12, 2019.


Hong Kong officer hit by arrow; police fire water cannons
by KEN MORITSUGUHONG KONG (AP) - A Hong Kong police officer was hit in the leg by an arrow Sunday as authorities used tear gas and water cannons to try to drive back protesters occupying a university campus and surrounding streets.
Police said the arrow struck a media liaison officer, who was taken to a hospital. Photos on the department’s Facebook page show the arrow sticking out of the back of the officer’s lower leg through his pants.
Water cannon trucks drove over bricks and nails strewn by protesters and sprayed them at close range in a bid to drive away protesters on the streets outside Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

The push came in an hourslong standoff that followed intense clashes the previous night.
A large group of people arrived in the morning to try to clean up the road, but were warned away by protesters.
The water cannons arrived in the early afternoon, one using blue-dyed water to drench the protesters.
The daytime faceoff came after a pitched battle at night in which the two sides exchanged tear gas and gasoline bombs that left fires blazing in the street. Many protesters retreated inside the Polytechnic campus, where they have barricaded entrances and set up narrow access control points.
Protesters have largely retreated from occupations of several major campuses last week, except for a contingent at Polytechnic. That group is also blocking access to the nearby Cross-Harbour Tunnel, one of the three main road tunnels that link Hong Kong Island with the rest of the city.
Opposition lawmakers criticized the Chinese military late Saturday for joining a cleanup to remove debris from streets near Hong Kong Baptist University.
Dozens of Chinese troops, dressed in black shorts and olive drab T-shirts, ran out in loose formation and picked up paving stones, rocks and other obstacles that had cluttered the street
The military is allowed to help maintain public order, but only at the request of the Hong Kong government. The government said that it had not requested the military’s assistance, describing it as a voluntary community activity.
The Education Bureau announced that classes from kindergarten to high school would be suspended again on Monday because of safety concerns.
Classes have been canceled since Thursday, after the bureau came under criticism for not doing so earlier.
The city’s anti-government protests have been raging for more than five months.
They were sparked by a government decision to submit legislation that would have allowed the extradition of criminal suspects to the mainland. Activists saw it as an erosion of Hong Kong’s autonomy under the “one country, two systems” formula implemented in 1997, when Britain returned the territory to China.
The bill has been withdrawn, but the protests have expanded into a wider resistance movement against what is perceived as the growing control of Hong Kong by Communist China, along with calls for full democracy for the territory.

THE GARDEN OF THE FINZI-CONTINIS (IL GIARDINO DEI FINZI-CONTINI) A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1996 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****): *** 1/2
This is the twenty-fifth anniversary of the widely praised THE GARDEN OF THE FINZI-CONTINIS. Director Vittorio De Sica won the 1971 Academy Award for Best Foreign Film for his depiction of fascism and romance in Italy.
If you think you've seen this material covered before in innumerable other films, you haven't. THE GARDEN OF THE FINZI-CONTINIS looks at both of its subjects from overlooked perspectives.
For the anniversary, Sony Pictures Classics is releasing to the theaters a beautifully restored print with a new Dolby Stereo sound track. In the press kit they gave me, they cite twenty-six international awards the film won at the time. I could not find a single problem with the print unlike some other recent restorations I have seen. Since the images are central to this film's effectiveness, the restoration is an important part of what I hope will be a successful rerun.
Simply stated, THE GARDEN OF THE FINZI-CONTINIS is a dream. Not a dream in any conventional sense, but a dream nevertheless. It is set in Italy just before and during the start of World War II. The aristocratic Jewish families in the story live in a dream world believing fascism will leave their plush existence untouched.
The young Jewish people in the story are full of illusions about romantic love. This causes them almost as much pain as their denial of the consequences of fascism. The whole texture of the film is ethereal, and the lush cinematography by Ennio Guarnieri uses a soft haze to enhance the mood.
Based on the autobiographical novel by Giorgio Bassani, the story starts in 1938 when Mussolini's racial laws are beginning to take force. Like similar ones of his Nazi brethren, his laws start to clamp down on the rights of people of Jewish lineage. The proscribed list includes no servants, no phone listings, no library privileges, no public schools, and no obituaries. And it goes on and on.
As the show opens, however, the law's harshness seems irrelevant to our protagonists. Biking through spectacular scenery, a group of affluent college students is the embodiment of serenity. Their solid white tennis clothing shines in the slightly overexposed images. Backed by the green of the forest about them, they appear as deities.
As they make small talk at their tennis club, they are as innocent as forest nymphs. Their superrich existence must be forever secure. The luxurious sets by Giancarlo Bartolini Salimbeni and Mario Chiari show their castles and large homes to be magnificently appointed.
Giorgio (Lino Capolicchio) talks to his father about the troubles starting to affect them. His father (Romolo Valli) begins to worry that even though he is a Fascist member in good standing, he may not be able to escape the evil net that is engulfing others.
A second aspect of the story starts with the blossoming of a romance between Giorgio and his now grown up childhood sweetheart Micol Finzi-Contini (the gorgeous Dominique Sanda). Micol is a member of a Jewish family even richer than his own.
After a sudden rainstorm, they find themselves alone. Her blouse has become see-through, and naturally, his heart turns to love. "Children are always prisoners of grownups," she remarks about how she has now broken the shackles of her parent's control. He figures that this is his opening, but it is not to be. She is an ice goddess to him, which drives him crazy. The scene, which happens in a carriage, is a forerunner to the one in THE AGE OF INNOCENCE (1993).
Like the Christmas glass ball with the idyllic snow crusted cottage inside, their world is picture perfect. The troubles around it continue as nothing more than mirages to them. Surprisingly, most of the show takes place before there are any major fissures in the ball. Certainly the rich and respected Prof. Ermanno Finzi-Contini (Camillo Angelini-Rota) and his family are safe from the tyranny on the streets. Indeed, when Giorgio begins to be shunned, the Finzi-Contini retain most of their privileges, and Micol continues playing tennis with her Aryan friends.
Even as the whole world begins to collapse, it is no one's fault. As the director of the library explains to Giorgio when he tosses him out, it is not up to him. He is just following the rules somebody else devised.
This is not a perfect show. For one, by today's standards it seems curiously dated at times. For another, there are some hard to believe sequences.
Micol says she views Giorgio like her brother Alberto (Helmut Berger) and has no interest in having any romantic attachment to him. Where does she say this? She has her servant bring Giorgio to her bed when she is lying in her nightgown and partially under the covers. She is stunning in this setting. This incongruity perplexes Giorgio and me. His reaction is probably what mine would have been.
The music by Bill Conti (THE RIGHT STUFF) and Manuel De Sica is worth the effort put into its restoration. It takes the audience on a journey from romantic to bittersweet to tragic and finally, to hopeless sad.
 So it is with the wealthy Jews in the movie.  A simple and beautiful, but completely tragic ending.
THE GARDEN OF THE FINZI-CONTINIS runs just 1:34. It is in Italian with English subtitles. In 1970, the picture was rated R, but today it would get a PG-13. There is no sex, bad language, or violence. There is only two brief scenes of partial female nudity. This year's THE NUTTY PROFESSOR got a PG-13, and this show is a hundred times tamer. This film would be fine for kids say ten and up. I strongly recommend the movie to you and give it *** 1/2. To be honest, if I had not considered when the film was made, I would have given it a half star less. Perhaps some of its approaches do seem dated, but the show is full of simple truths and great beauty.
**** = One of the top few films of this or any year. A must see film. *** = Excellent show. Look for it. ** = Average movie. Kind of enjoyable. * = Poor show.  Totally unbearable.

THE TRUTH ABOUT CATS & DOGS A film review by Mark R. Leeper Copyright 1996 Mark R. Leeper
Capsule: THE TRUTH ABOUT CATS & DOGS is a modest, pleasant trading-identity comedy with at least a little serious thought at its core. The plot is a bit contrived and far-fetched but its anti-lookist theme sets this film apart from many romantic comedies. If only Michael Lehmann's film practiced what it preaches, this comedy would be a lot easier to recommend. Rating: high +1 (-4 to +4)
"The Truth About Cats & Dogs" is a popular radio talk show for pet owners to call in and ask questions of veterinarian Abby Barnes (played by Janeane Garofalo of "The Larry Sanders Show"). Abby is intelligent and very funny, but she feels she is short and plain-looking. (Garofalo herself is actually attractive, but perhaps is plain by Hollywood actress standards.) To put it mildly, Abby is extremely self-conscious about her looks, particularly when compared to her tall, blond neighbor Noelle Slusarsky (Uma Thurman). When a listener to her program, Brian (Ben Chaplin), becomes interested in Barnes and wants to set up a rendezvous with her, he needs a description, and on a lark Abby describes Noelle. So begins a love triangle in which Brian thinks he loves a single woman with Abby's personality and Noelle's body. He believes Noelle is actually Abby and that Abby is the veterinarian's friend Donna. If the basic plot sounds familiar, it borrows no small amount from Rostand's play "Cyrano de Bergerac" or perhaps that play's reframing in modern terms, ROXANNE. The result is the sort of light romantic comedy with the two women trying to pull off the charade and keep Brian from suspecting. But eventually the plot gets beyond the charade into the question of what is it that is the source of the real attraction? Is it the physical beauty of Noelle or is it the personality of Abby? The film makes some very serious, albeit sugar- coated, observations about how our society discriminates by degree of attractiveness.
And if one wants to see examples of that discrimination in action, one need only look at the billing of this film. Top billing goes to Uma Thurman who is not the main character, has fewer lines than Abby, and who has less personality on the screen. The practical fact is that Thurman is more of a star, particularly after PULP FICTION. As such she has more marquee value. Viewing audiences are perceived as having precisely the same set of misplaced values about which the film is complaining. Had Janeane Garofalo gotten top billing one might feel a little better about the film. This is not to say that Thurman does a bad job, by any means. This may well be her best role to date. She is in some ways a mirror image of Garofalo's character. Garofalo is actually attractive but believes she is ugly. This may have been an artifact of bad casting or it may be intentional. Thurman's character is relatively bright but has convinced herself that she is all looks and hairdo with nothing of any substance inside of her. In any case Thurman, knowing she has top billing, is content to let Garofalo be the real star. And Garofalo easily fills the vacuum with sparkle and wit.
This is a first produced script by Audrey Wells whose previous work includes being a jazz disk jockey and producing and directing political commercials. Some of her dialogue is very funny, though often one gets the feeling that real people are not this witty spontaneously and the conversations are too polished to be credible. Of course the same complaint could be leveled at Woody Allen's screen writing. Probably more bothersome is the character of Brian who seems to be incredibly dense not to realize that the shorter woman has both the voice and the quick wit of the woman on the radio. He seems perfectly willing to believe that the tall blond who is afraid of his dog and the radio veterinarian who has explained to him how to handle and calm that dog could be the same woman. The fact that Uma Thurman's character has to consult with Janeane Garofalo's character before treating a turtle does not seem to tip him off that there is anything strange going on.
The film boasts a bouncy score by Howard Shore, who is good when he does his own composing, but the film relies a little too much on source music. Telephones seem to play a large part in THE TRUTH ABOUT CATS & DOGS and it would not surprise me to hear that this film has contributed greatly to the sale of cordless phones. There is even an advertisement for an identifiable long distance phone company played in the background of one scene, which seems a somewhat crass touch. Direction of this somewhat spotty is by Michael Lehmann whose own career has been spotty, having directed HEATHERS, MEET THE APPLEGATES, HUDSON HAWK, and AIRHEADS.
THE TRUTH ABOUT CATS & DOGS could have stressed its more serious theme a little more, but it is an enjoyable comedy and rates a high +1 on the -4 to +4 scale.

The YSlow rule yimgnoscale doesn't work with PhantomJS. The new rule compare the image browser width and the real image width and if it differ, you will get that in the output.
You can now test multiple sites and compare them using the sitespeed-sites.io script (you can choose what kind of data to compare).
There are now two different rule-sets, one for desktop & one for mobile.
The main script (sitespeed.io) has been cleaned up & Velocity templates has been restructured.
The new Bootstrap version is mobile first and will render the page faster than before.
Say hello to the new sitespeed.io logo:
See the changelog for changes done in the past.


This guide will help you understand how to transition from
React Router to
file-system based routes with
Next.js. Using
next/link
and
next/router
will allow you to:
First, uninstall React Router. You’ll be migrating to the built-in routing with Next.js.
npm uninstall react-router-dom
The Link
component for performing client-side route
transitions is slightly different from React Router.
// Before (React Router)
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom'
export default function App() {
return <Link to="/about">About</Link>
}
// After (Next.js)
import Link from 'next/link'
export default function App() {
return (
<Link href="/about">
About
</Link>
)
}
Most React applications that use React Router have a top-level navigation file, containing a list of routes. For example:
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Switch, Route } from 'react-router-dom'
export default function App() {
return (
<Router>
<Switch>
<Route path="/about">

About

</Route>
<Route path="/blog">

Blog

</Route>
<Route path="/">

Home

</Route>
</Switch>
</Router>
)
}
With Next.js, you can express the same application structure in the file
system. When a file is added to the
pages
directory
it’s automatically available as a route.
pages/about.js
→ /about
pages/blog.js
→ /blog
pages/index.js
→ /
In the example below, routes like /blog/my-post
would render
the Post
component. If a slug was not provided, it would
render the list of all blog posts.
import {
BrowserRouter as Router,
Switch,
Route,
useRouteMatch,
useParams,
} from 'react-router-dom'
export default function Blog() {
// Nested route under /blog
const match = useRouteMatch()
return (
<Router>
<Switch>
<Route path={`${match.path}/:slug`}>
<Post />
</Route>
<Route path={match.path}>

All Blog Posts

</Route>
</Switch>
</Router>
)
}
function Post() {
const { slug } = useParams()
return
Post Slug: {slug}

}
Rather than using the :slug
syntax inside your
Route
component, Next.js uses the [slug]
syntax
in the file name for
Dynamic Routes. We can
transform this to Next.js by creating two new files,
pages/blog/index.js
(showing all pages) and
pages/blog/[slug].js
(showing an individual post).
// pages/blog/index.js
export default function Blog() {
return
All Blog Posts

}
// pages/blog/[slug].js
import { useRouter } from 'next/router'
export default function Post() {
const router = useRouter()
const { slug } = router.query
return
Post Slug: {slug}

}
Next.js has built-in support for
Server-side Rendering. This means you can remove any instances of StaticRouter
in
your code.
Next.js has built-in support for Code Splitting. This means you can remove any instances of:
@loadable/server
, @loadable/babel-plugin
, and
@loadable/webpack-plugin
.babelrc
for
@loadable/babel-plugin
Each file inside your pages/
directory will be code split
into its own JavaScript bundle during the build process. Next.js
also supports
ES2020 dynamic import()
for JavaScript. With it you can
import JavaScript modules dynamically and work with them. They also work
with SSR.
For more information, read about Dynamic Imports.
Next.js has built-in support for
Scroll Restoration. This means you can remove any custom
ScrollToTop
components you have defined.
The default behavior of next/link
and
next/router
is to scroll to the top of the page. You can also
disable this
if you prefer.
For more information on what to do next, we recommend the following sections:

<mat-menu>
is a floating panel containing list of options.
By itself, the <mat-menu>
element does not render anything. The menu is attached to and opened
via application of the matMenuTriggerFor
directive:
The menu exposes an API to open/close programmatically. Please note that in this case, an
matMenuTriggerFor
directive is still necessary to attach the menu to a trigger element in the DOM.
class MyComponent {
@ViewChild(MatMenuTrigger) trigger: MatMenuTrigger;
someMethod() {
this.trigger.openMenu();
}
}
Menus support displaying mat-icon
elements before the menu item text.
By default, the menu will display below (y-axis), after (x-axis), without overlapping
its trigger. The position can be changed using the xPosition
(before | after
) and yPosition
(above | below
) attributes. The menu can be forced to overlap the trigger using the
overlapTrigger
attribute.
Material supports the ability for an mat-menu-item
to open a sub-menu. To do so, you have to define
your root menu and sub-menus, in addition to setting the [matMenuTriggerFor]
on the mat-menu-item
that should trigger the sub-menu:
By default, the menu content will be initialized even when the panel is closed. To defer
initialization until the menu is open, the content can be provided as an ng-template
with the matMenuContent
attribute:
<mat-menu #appMenu="matMenu">
<ng-template matMenuContent>
<button mat-menu-item>Settings</button>
<button mat-menu-item>Help</button>
</ng-template>
</mat-menu>
<button mat-icon-button [matMenuTriggerFor]="appMenu">
<mat-icon>more_vert</mat-icon>
</button>
When using lazy rendering, additional context data can be passed to the menu panel via
the matMenuTriggerData
input. This allows for a single menu instance to be rendered
with a different set of data, depending on the trigger that opened it:
<mat-menu #appMenu="matMenu">
<ng-template matMenuContent let-name="name">
<button mat-menu-item>Settings</button>
<button mat-menu-item>Log off {{name}}</button>
</ng-template>
</mat-menu>
<button mat-icon-button [matMenuTriggerFor]="appMenu" [matMenuTriggerData]="{name: 'Sally'}">
<mat-icon>more_vert</mat-icon>
</button>
<button mat-icon-button [matMenuTriggerFor]="appMenu" [matMenuTriggerData]="{name: 'Bob'}">
<mat-icon>more_vert</mat-icon>
</button>
Menu triggers or menu items without text or labels should be given a meaningful label via
aria-label
or aria-labelledby
.

Array types are not supported by Moshi, please use a List instead.
Arrays are expensive to manage in JSON as we don't know lengths ahead of
time and they are a mutable code smell in what should be immutable value
classes. Otherwise, moshi-gson-interop will hand serialization of this
property to Gson, which may or may not handle it. This will eventually
become an error after GSON is removed.

(##) Including
!!!
This is not a built-in check. To include it, add the below dependency
to your project. This lint check is included in the lint documentation,
but the Android team may or may not agree with its recommendations.
```
// build.gradle.kts
lintChecks("com.slack.lint:slack-lint-checks:0.3.0")
// build.gradle
lintChecks 'com.slack.lint:slack-lint-checks:0.3.0'
// build.gradle.kts with version catalogs:
lintChecks(libs.slack-lint-checks)
# libs.versions.toml
[versions]
slack-lint-checks = "0.3.0"
[libraries]
slack-lint-checks = {
module = "com.slack.lint:slack-lint-checks",
version.ref = "slack-lint-checks"
}
```
0.3.0 is the version this documentation was generated from;
there may be newer versions available.
[Additional details about com.slack.lint:slack-lint-checks](com_slack_lint_slack-lint-checks.md.html).
(##) Suppressing
You can suppress false positives using one of the following mechanisms:
* Using a suppression annotation like this on the enclosing
element:
```kt
// Kotlin
@Suppress("MoshiUsageArray")
fun method() {
problematicStatement()
}
```
or
```java
// Java
@SuppressWarnings("MoshiUsageArray")
void method() {
problematicStatement();
}
```
* Using a suppression comment like this on the line above:
```kt
//noinspection MoshiUsageArray
problematicStatement()
```
* Using a special `lint.xml` file in the source tree which turns off
the check in that folder and any sub folder. A simple file might look
like this:
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<lint>
<issue id="MoshiUsageArray" severity="ignore" />
</lint>
```
Instead of `ignore` you can also change the severity here, for
example from `error` to `warning`. You can find additional
documentation on how to filter issues by path, regular expression and
so on
[here](https://googlesamples.github.io/android-custom-lint-rules/usage/lintxml.md.html).
* In Gradle projects, using the DSL syntax to configure lint. For
example, you can use something like
```gradle
lintOptions {
disable 'MoshiUsageArray'
}
```
In Android projects this should be nested inside an `android { }`
block.
* For manual invocations of `lint`, using the `--ignore` flag:
```
$ lint --ignore MoshiUsageArray ...`
```
* Last, but not least, using baselines, as discussed
[here](https://googlesamples.github.io/android-custom-lint-rules/usage/baselines.md.html).

And the Premier addressed with his usual frankness his decision to go to the U.S. instead of having the procedure done in Canada.
“I was warned by my staff that this could be an issue,” he told Mr. Hutton. “But from my own perspective I said look, here’s our communications plan. It’s quite simple. This is my heart. It’s my health and it’s my choice,” he said.
And only the super rich have that choice in Canada - the regular people don't have that option. We can't opt out of health care taxes and it's illegal to use our own money to pay for something that's medically necessary.
So we're stuck with a broken system and he flies off to Miami.
Hypocrite.


This archipelago of over 30 subtropical and tropical islands lie in the Pacific Ocean some 540 miles south of Honshu.
If you are voyaging to Japan from the East it is a natural Port of Entry to Japan.
Because the Ogasawara Islands have never been connected to a continent, many of their animals and plants have undergone unique evolutionary processes. For this reason the islands are often referred to as the 'Galapagos of the Orient'and in 2011 gained World Heritage Natural Site listing.
The islands have an interesting history being claimed by various countries, with the first permanent settlement established by ex-whalers from the USA in the 1830s. The islands changed sovereignty a couple of times through various colonial period machinations and Pacific activities of the second world war, with them being returned to Japan in 1968.
Ogasawara is the administrative center of the island group, with most major government agencies centered here.
Ogasawara has the intriguing status of being both a closed port and a port of entry. Upon entry the Coast Guard will direct you to a slot on the concrete pier (fender well) and then you will be visited by all the normal government representatives.
At least 24hrs notice of arrival is required as per regular first entry to Japan, and having a list prepared for your following ports within Japan with marina names etc. will smooth the paperwork no end.
See Japan Entry Formalities for more details.
The port in Ogasawara (Futami Ko) is home to both the fishing and tourist boat industries and is all concrete docks. Some charts show a sector light for port entrance, this was not functioning in July 2014. The local Coast Guard office in Ogasawara does not stock Japanese charts for sale or duplication, so ensure you have charts with you for your landfall in the main island chain.
It appears that a resident local high pressure system offers some insulation from typhoons that regularly visit the main island chain, however the port is somewhat open to the west, so typhoon activity in that area may make the port uncomfortable and at times untenable.
The islands are serviced by a twice weekly ferry from Tokyo, their only commercial passenger link.
Toilet facilities abound on the island, all being clean, lit and
safe, with two public outdoor showers at the beaches, the
closest being 10min walk from the main harbour, making a day ending swim and shower a nice precursor to dinner at one of the many great local restaurants and bars on the way back to the boat.
Fees: The cruiser who passed on this port information was not charged a docking fee for his stay, however it was unclear if this was policy to offer short term visitors a free stay, or if the language barrier made it a difficult subject to approach.
A note re. Rubbish Disposal
Most prefectures in Japan separate their rubbish prior to disposal. To save yourself a very messy job on arrival, try to organise your rubbish into the following categories en route;
- plastic PET drink bottlers;
- tin cans;
- aluminum cans;
- general waste.
Whilst the exact categories may vary slightly from prefecture to prefecture, sorting as you go into these four groups should make things easier on arrival.

WOMAN ON TOP
Reviewed by Harvey Karten Fox Searchlight Pictures Director: Fina Torres Writer: Vera Blasi Cast: Penelope Cruz, Murilo Benicio, Harold Perrineau Jr., Mark Feuerstein, John De Lancie
The Age of Miracles is not over. Maybe in the corporate- driven U.S. and highly industrialized areas of the world the closest thing to a miracle is a cell phone or a hand-held computer, but in the magical, mystical town of Bahia, the colonial capital of Brazil, marvels still happen. A single such wonder occurs when an incredibly beautiful woman reverses the usual fairy-tale cliche by wishing AWAY her love, petitioning the goddess of the sea to delete the intensely romantic feeling she had held for what could only be called the human equivalent of a male god in the guise of a man who sings like the angels.
Since "Woman on Top" is a fairy tale, Venezuelan-born director Fina Torres evokes the proper magic from Vera Blasi's frothy script to put across a film that can scarcely help enchanting the crowds who come to see it. The story opens in Bahia, Brazil, as the eponymous woman, Isabella Oliveira (the Madrid-born Penelope Cruz) is almost literally walking on air, now married to her partner in the restaurant business, Toninho Oliveira (Murilo Benicio). As in all legends, Isabella has a flaw: she has motion sickness. She cannot hold down her lunch in the back seat of a car: she must be the driver. Nor can she tolerate even the movement of a trolley car, and, most detrimental of all, she becomes ill while engaging in sex unless she can be in the driver's seat, that is, the woman on top. Her macho husband is tired of being--as he put it--flat on his back for years, and when caught in flagrante with a neighbor, Isabella bolts for San Francisco where she hooks up with her child friend, transsexual Monica Jones (Harold Perrineau Jr.). She lucks out with a job teaching a cooking course which leads her to take a role with Monica on a local TV program--eventually to go national. Meanwhile back in Bahia, the miserable Toninho curses the sea goddess, Yemanja--the very same deity invoked by his wife--leading to a dearth of catches for the local fishermen. As Toninho flies to San Francisco to reactive Isabella's lost love, even sneaking into the TV station with a crew of troubadours to romance her while she is carried live before the cameras, Isabella develops a relationship with her producer, Cliff Lloyd (Mark Feuerstein), who is eventually to forsake his uptight American ways for the unleashed live-for-life culture of Brazil.
If this movie does not get you to call Varig or American Airlines to book the next flight to the world's coffee capital, perhaps nothing will. "Woman on Top" is as flamboyantly romantic as it is bubbly, helped enormously by the staggering good looks of its two principals. Director Torres must have had as much fun as the cast, watching flowers spring to life at the drop of Isabella's tears or wilted blossoms priapically coming erect as she walks past on the hilly streets of San Francisco. One riotous scene will remind movie fans of a similar one in Gary Sinyor's "The Bachelor," as Chris O'Donnell in the role of a 30-year-old man with a $100 million inheritance is followed by a veritable army of women in bridal gowns, all seeking his hand in marriage.  Torres knows how to stage a food fight as well, as colorful fruits and vegetables are hurled during an outdoor TV filming of a cooking lesson as though the contenders were mano a mano in the bar of a tough San Francisco neighborhood.
Elisabeth Tavernier's costumes do much to show off Ms. Cruz's drop-dead figure while the CD of the music, featuring ballads like "Cinzas," "Nos Bracos d'Isabelle," and "A Flor E O Epinho" should do a brisk business at the Virgin Megastore. The production notes indicate that "Falsa Bahiana" is about a woman trying to pass as Bahian and lacking the sex appeal to pull it off. A magical town indeed. An enchanting movie!
