A character gets in a car, or similar vehicle designed/intended for medium-to-long-distance trips, but the trip doesn't even leave the street. Usually a comedy trope, as it's really hard to have a legitimate dramatic reason for it unless a character is Too Important to Walk.
Not to be confused with driving because a poorly planned road makes it more dangerous to go on foot. May be justified if the character is using the vehicle because they have something to transport besides themselves, such as furniture or a whole lot of groceries.
The phone version of this is the Short-Distance Phone Call.
Examples
- There was an advertisement for the lottery that had a man kiss his wife goodbye from his car as he went "to work." He drove around his circular driveway to pick up his check from the mailbox, then drove back and greeted his wife, who asked, "How was your day?"
- An ad discouraging drunk driving has Allison Brie leaving a party at Adam Scott's house by getting in a limo (thereby avoiding drunk driving) and being driven to her house... across the street. She even waves to Adam as she walks from her driveway to her front door.
- Baby Blues: The kids want to drive to their mailbox, so they can get in the car.
- Zits has Jeremy gaining driving experience by going back and forth on his driveway enough times in one sitting to deplete an entire tank of gas.
- In Penguins of Madagascar, after mistaking Shanghai for Dublin, the penguins mail themselves to Shanghai, where they think Dave will strike next. The mail truck picks them up and drives off... then drives back and drops the penguins back where they started.
Skipper: So this is it; Shanghai's famous Little Dublin District.
- In Toy Story 2, Al lives in an apartment right across the street from his toy store and still drives there. And he gripes all the way about having to drive to work on a Saturday!
- Leonard Part 6: Leonard gets into his luxurious car to drive to his ex-wife's house, which is revealed to be immediately next door.
- L.A. Story: Steve Martin gets in his car to go and visit a friend, drives for about the length of three cars, and gets out again.
- In Not Another Teen Movie some kids announce they are going on a road trip to the party, which is down the block.
- Steve Martin's character Navin in The Jerk hitchhikes to the end of the block.
Navin: Thanks for the company. I hope I can repay you someday!
- The opening to The Gods Must Be Crazy shows a middle-class woman using their car to post a letter in the mailbox just down the street.
- In The Diamond Arm the protagonist supposedly visiting a bakery on a taxi (in USSR, no less) is vaguely suspected by his nosy house-manager — after all, he got a broken arm, not a leg. But that's just a very clumsy cover-up for meeting with a police operative.
- In Casino Royale, James Bond invites Solange Dimitrios in her husband's own Aston Martin DB5, in front of the Bahamas hotel, telling her that his place is very close. He takes off, turns at a roundabout and stops 10 seconds later... at the same place. The valet's nonplussed "Good evening, sir, and welcome back" is priceless.
- Early in Bang Boom Bang, Keek gets into his 1970s Ford Taurus and drives to the video rental store. The video rental store is about 100 meters down the same street as his place.
- In the 2004 film version of The Phantom of the Opera musical, the Phantom places Christine on the back of a horse and uses it to carry her the length of a short corridor before abandoning it again. This a reference to the original novel, though in that the ride through the cavernous basement levels actually took some time.
- An extreme example turns up in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. It's not just that the tour party travels down a modest corridor to the Wonkavision room via the Wonkamobile — a curious car-like contraption. It's also that, while supposedly powerful, it moves no faster than walking pace and leaves everyone Covered in Gunge until they pass through the Hsaw Aknow ("Wonka Wash" spelled backwards). Upon disembarking, Mike asks Wonka if they couldn't have just walked and his reply is "If the good Lord had intended us to walk, he wouldn't have invented roller skates."
- In Dumb and Dumber To, Lloyd and Harry ride a bicycle to visit Harry's parents, whom he hasn't seen in many years. The song "On The Road Again" starts to play, but is cut short when they stop at the second house down the street.
- In The Big Bus, reporters covering the launch of a nuclear-powered bus are asked to board a minibus, driven around in a circle, then asked to get off.
- In The Navigator, Buster Keaton gets in his limo and is driven across the street to his girlfriend's house.
- Spaceballs has President Skroob decide to beam directly from his office to his command center, but the beam gets botched and he had to get beamed back. Rather than try again, he decides to walk... into the command center right next door.
- The Wrong Box has two brothers who have been feuding and haven't spoken for over forty years; the adult grandson of one delivers a message to the other by first dressing as for a long trip- then walks next door.
- The Untouchables. Malone takes Ness and the other recently recruited Untouchables to bust one of Capone's breweries...which involves them walking out of the police station to the building across the road.
- A man gets into the taxi. "Drive me, please, for one millimeter". "Are you kidding?" "If I was kidding, I'd request stops along the way".
- Bill Bryson brings up a few real-life examples in Notes from a Big Country, one example involved some of his neighbours being invited to his house for dinner one day and despite living a short way down the street they drove there. Bryson mentions jokingly asking if they go shopping via light aircraft. He then brought it up again in A Walk in the Woods, in an even more ironic/ridiculous example - a friend who complains about how tough it is to get parking at the gym when she lives only 5-10 minutes away on foot. When he points out that she should just walk, and save herself the parking headache (as well as spending a little less time on the treadmill) she looks at him as if he's crazy, saying that the treadmill has her whole "program" on it, and it can be adjusted for difficulty.
- On a The Daily Show segment about gas prices and fuel guzzlers, Rob Corddry gets in a car to travel the distance from one end of a stretch Hummer to the other.
- A couple of times on Get Smart.
- Once in The Pilot when Max drives from the concert hall to CONTROL HQ — he gets in his car, does a big U-Turn, and stops in front of the building across the street (getting Rockstar Parking each time); this example made it to the opening credits.
- In a later episode, where they get in a cab and tell the driver to go to X address: the driver pulls forward about 10 feet and says, "Here we are."
- In How I Met Your Mother, Ted takes Stella on a two-minute date. This involves them getting in a taxi two separate times in order to go one building down the street.
- This happens on The Andy Griffith Show when a famous musician returns home to Mayberry. Barney insists on giving him a police escort from the courthouse to his hotel—which is four doors down the block.
- Combined with Short-Distance Phone Call in a sketch on You're Skitting Me. A schoolgirl calls her mother and begs to be picked up from school. When her mother finally relents, it's revealed that their house is literally across the street from the school.
- In an episode of the Comedy Central series Strangers with Candy titled "The Blank Stare", the protagonist Jerri Blank has been brainwashed by a cult, but the cult's leader quickly grows tired of her and wishes to return her back to Jerri's school. After the cult leader calls Jerri's teachers Mr. Noblet and Mr. Jellineck and Principal Blackman and tells them to meet them at a rendezvous point, Noblet, Jellineck, and Blackman are seen exiting the school, getting into the school van and driving to the rendezvous point... at the other end of the school parking lot. They then take Jerri, beat her senselessly, throw her in the van and drive her back to the door at the other end of the parking lot.
- A segment on The Chaser's War on Everything featured Chas Licciardello attempting to get ridiculously small taxi fares. He quickly learned that taxi drivers who've been in queues for some time do not like being told to stop less than a block away. Especially when they're at the airport.
- A Christmas special of The Vicar of Dibley has Geraldine eat four Christmas lunches, so as not to disappoint any of the people who had invited her to have Christmas lunch with them. After the third lunch, she's forced to take a taxi the short distance to the next house.
- In A Series of Unfortunate Events, the Squalors take an Absurdly Long Limousine absurdly short distances - most of which are shorter than the limo itself. In one case, they get into the limo only to immediately get out on the other side. When the Baudelaires try to sneak back into the penthouse, they just walk there.
- "Pinch Me" by the Barenaked Ladies:
There's a restaurant down the street
where hungry people like to eat
I could walk but I'll just drive
It's colder than it looks outside! - In Mitch Benn's song "I Want", his ridiculous contract riders include a limo in his hotel room, to take him to the toilet, and another one between his dressing room and the stage.
- Episode #156 of Strong Bad Email features a road trip where the car doesn't even move, thanks to Bubs having sold Strong Bad a car with no keys and whose windows and doors can't be opened from the inside. Strong Bad describes it as "our car trip, since we didn't go on any roads. Or, even more accurately, our car, since we didn't go on any trips either."
- In Avatar: The Last Airbender, Zuko's servants make him take the palanquin to Mai's house— which is less than twenty yards outside the palace wall— because they believe he's Too Important to Walk. He only relents when he realizes it is a good way to get past the mob of Fangirls.
- Justified in The Spectacular Spider Man: Harry insists on picking up Peter, Gwen and Liz for Flash's birthday party... and winds up driving them all half a block down Peter's street. When Peter said Flash lived nearby, Harry hadn't expected it to be THAT close.
- The Simpsons
- In "Home Sweet Home-Diddly-Dum-Doodley", Bart, Lisa, and Maggie are taken away from Marge and Homer to live in a foster home. We see them driven away from the Simpson residence and taken... next door to live with the Flanders family.
- In "Bye Bye, Nerdie", Marge drives Bart and Lisa to school after missing the bus. She goes after the bus, but Otto thinks she wants a race. It ends when Marge stops the bus just a few feet away from the school but still wants her kids to be on the bus. Subverted when Otto forgot to pick up the new kid and drives back to pick her up.
- "Homer the Great" showed Homer's commute to work; several miles over a heavily-trafficked highway, a gridlocked detour, a huge, full parking lot with the only remaining space being at the very far end next to the chain-link perimeter fence...abutting his own backyard. Annoyed Grunt!
- In Bobby's World an episode is dedicated to the drama of Bobby's family moving to a new house. When the time for the move actually happens, Bobby promptly states Are We There Yet? to his father, who immediately replies "Yes". Kind of raises the question why no one told this to Bobby until they were already packed up in the car, but eh, just roll with it.
- In the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Pizza Delivery", SpongeBob drives Squidward back to the Krusty Krab after making a delivery right next door. This after having gotten lost for hours trying to make the delivery in the first place.
- Occurs in an episode of Dave the Barbarian. The Narrator even lampshades this at one point.
Narrator: And, so our heroes set forth on a long and perilous journey to find the Master of Evolution...
- In The Angry Beavers, Norbert gets in a boat along with Stump and a crapload of supplies in order to rescue Dagget from the female raccoons. It turns out the island on which their domain is located is... just three feet away from the Beavers' dam.
- Implied on the Looney Tunes short Show Biz Bugs. Daffy Duck arrives at the theater in a cab and complains about how high the fare is. Said fare was 25 cents for one block.
- An episode of Cow and Chicken has the family making a huge, tearful deal out of moving to a new house to escape an ant infestation. The new house is literally next door and looks exactly like the old one. The ants follow them, too.
- An episode of The Get Along Gang had Bingo Beaver find out that he was going to be moving house. He spent the whole episode making the rest of the gang feel sorry for him, so they decide to throw him a big leaving party. Then they all turn up on the big moving day to wave him off, as his family gets in the moving lorry and drive.... about 3 houses down the road. The gang all has a go at him for the theatrics, but to be fair he didn't know (and using a moving lorry to shift furniture three houses down the street is logically a bit of a waste).
- Hoodwinked! appears to have this when the Wolf hails a taxi in order to catch up to Red after she runs away. The ride only lasts under fifteen seconds.
- In The Fairly OddParents episode "Vicky Loses Her Icky", Timmy's parents decided to eat at a restaurant (without him) and drive there (after waiting in the car in the driveway for hours before Dad is hungry). As they leave the house, it's shown the place is, as the trope's name suggests, across the street. Literally.
- In one Mickey Mouse cartoon, Goofy asks Mickey to take him to the airport early in the morning. After being driven bananas all night by the clock Goofy loaned him, Mickey arrives at his house...and finds out the airport is right next door. Mickey is not amused.
- Speaking of Mickey, in one House of Mouse short, Pluto is chasing Mickey's Jerkass rival, Mortimer Mouse. Mortimer hails a taxi and tells the driver to take go "to the other side of town and step on it!" The Taxi moves about half a block, stopping at the intersection of "Other Side of Town St." and "Step On It Lane".
- Subverted in one episode of Chowder: The catering team and Gazpacho make a delivery to Mr. Fugu, who is down the street. However, due to unexpected work on Mr. Fugu's driveway, they're forced to take the long way around, turning it into an actual road trip, much to Chowder's enjoyment.
- In one episode of Goof Troop, Goofy and Pete have to go into Witness Protection after seeing some mobsters fitting a guy for a cement overcoat. Unfortunately, due to budget cutbacks in the program, their safe house is right across the street from Pete's house.
- In one episode of Rocko's Modern Life, Rocko was about to park in a spot in front of the comic book store he worked at, only for it to be taken by none other than his boss, who happened to live next door to the store, forcing Rocko to park further away in a bad neighborhood where his car is stripped. Then his boss has the gall to deride him for being late.
- Variation in the short "I Was a Teenage Bunnysitter," from the Tiny Toon Adventures episode "The ACME Home Shopping Show"; when Babs leaves to go to the Potter's rabbit hole, she walks down a long road into the distance...which ends at the Potter's hole which is right next to Babs' own.
- In the Arthur episode "Poor Muffy," Muffy has to live with Francine's family. When Francine offers to walk to school with her, she refuses and instead gets in her limo. It turns out that the school is right down the street from Francine's apartment building, close enough that her mother can shout out that she forgot her lunch.
- In one episode of Pepper Ann, the Pearsons go on a mother-daughter feminist weekend retreat. They climb into the bus, which drives all the way to a hotel on the next block. Pepper Ann lampshades this when she says she wants to leave, as she can just walk home.
- Liberace once bought a Rolls-Royce which his chauffeur only ever drove once — across the stage where Liberace was performing, in order to deliver the robe he wore for the next song. The car is now in the Liberace Museum in Las Vegas.
- Railroad transportation:
- Note that none of the following applies to wheelchair users, who may find the elevator at the station they want to enter or exit is out of service, potentially requiring either they go to another station to get on, or get off at a station near their exit and take a shuttle to the stop they wanted, which might be only one block. This can also happen to wheelchair users when the elevator is down for maintenance.
- If you were to ride the Chicago 'L' around the central Loop and you entered at one Loop stop, then got off at another Loop stop, chances are this trope might play out. If you enter at State/Lake and get off at Clark/Lake one stop west, you've taken a train for the equivalent of 500 feet. If you got on at LaSalle/ Van Buren and got off at the very next stop, Harold Washington Library-State / Van Buren, you've gone about 600 feet, or the equivalent of two blocks east. That said, the station intervals outside the Loop are much larger, which is especially noticeable on the freeway sections of the Red and Blue Lines.
- The Blue Line under Dearborn Street doesn't have separate stations but just one long continuous platform, stopping three times along the platform: Jackson Boulevard, Monroe Street, and Washington Street.
- The London Underground has some central stations at very tight intervals.
- Try going from Monument to Bank. This means 5 stops and 2 changes by the route plan. However they are actually directly above each other, with an escalator connection, but this was edited off during construction of the Docklands Light Railway in the 90s and some installations STILL don't show this as a result.
- If the abandoned extension of the Northern City Line from Moorgate to Lothbury had been completed, the front of the train would have arrived in Lothbury before the back had left Moorgate.
- Brompton Road on the Piccadilly Line was abandoned after the adjacent Knightsbridge station received an entrance that cut into its service catch area in 1934. The same fate befell Down Street, famous for its later use in World War II where Prime Minister Winston Churchill and his Cabinet temporarily set up headquarters until the Cabinet War Rooms were readied.
- A one stop journey on the Piccadilly Line between Leicester Square and Covent Garden takes only about 20 seconds and measures only 260 metres (280 yds), the shortest distance between two adjacent stations on the Underground network. The stations are so close that if you stand halfway between them on Long Acre, you can see the roundels for both tube stations by simply turning your head around. The proximity means that the standard £4.80 single cash fare for the journey between these two stations equates to £29.81 a mile, which is more expensive per mile than the Venice Simplon Orient Express.
- This phenomenon is likely to be endemic to municipal rail systems in general. The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, for example, has a light rail system with some ridiculously close stops, especially downtown; walking from the Santa Clara station to the St. James station doesn't take more than 30 seconds plus whatever time you spend waiting for the crosswalk signal to change. The BART stops in San Francisco aren't quite this close, but when it's not rush hour, you can still walk from one to another in less time than it takes to wait for the next train.
- The Washington Metro averts this in the suburbs, where there can be gaps of several miles between stops (especially on the Orange and Silver Lines), but it's played straight in central D.C. Most specifically, get on the Red Line at Metro Center and go one stop east to Gallery Place / Chinatown to transition from the Orange, Silver or Blue Lines to the Green and Yellow Lines. You've gone all of less than 1,000 feet. There have been proposals to build a pedestrian corridor here so that people can walk this distance and alleviate crowding.
- The New York Subway has taken some efforts to avert this. You can find several stations that were decommissioned as a result of adjacent stations' platforms being lengthened to match current train lengths.
- 18th Street on the IRT Lexington Avenue Line closed in 1948 due to the opening of an entrance to 23rd Street station at 22nd Street, and an entrance to 14th Street - Union Square at 15th Street.
- 91st Street on the IRT Broadway Seventh Avenue Line closed in 1959 after platform lengthening at 86th Street and 96th Street.
- The original subway line's southern terminus of City Hall lost passenger service at the end of 1945. It was on the sharp curve of a balloon loop, couldn't be lengthened for the longer trains, and was very close to the Brooklyn Bridge station. As a result, City Hall closed, and Brooklyn Bridge became Brooklyn Bridge - City Hall. The station is still intact, on the National Register of Historic Places, and the loop itself is used to turn around 6 trains after they discharge at Brooklyn Bridge - City Hall.
- Worth Street, also on the IRT Lexington Avenue Line, closed in 1962 after platform extensions at Brooklyn Bridge - City Hall.
- One Man's 90-Foot Uber Ride
- In the early days of Hollywood, there were actors/actresses who insisted on this because the car service was one of the perks in their contract, and if they didn't insist on using them, the studio would think they could be pushed around.
- New Jersey Governor Chris Christie reportedly used his official helicopter to fly to the site of his son's baseball game. Once he landed at the high school's football field, he was picked up by a limousine, which drove him a grand total of 100 yards to the baseball field where his son was playing. [1] Somewhat justified in that those 100 yards consisted of an incredibly steep hill that many people have difficulty walking up.
- In 2003 the London press reported on Jennifer Lopez using six limos to travel 100 yards between hotels.
- Bertolt Brecht's trips to the theatre were apparently this, due to his love of his car.


This Starter Guide gets you up and running with creating mobile applications for the Physical Web using the Evothings JavaScript Eddystone API. When you attach a beacon to an object, it becomes part of the Physical Web, and object that a mobile app can monitor and track. It is easy to write Eddystone apps using the fast workflow of Evothings Studio. Read on to learn more!
Eddystone beacons are based on a new type of beacon technology. At the of this article you will find links to introductory articles that explain what Eddystone is. The Eddystone protocol was developed by Google, and is an open and extensible standard for beacons. Beacon vendors have embraced the standard and offer Eddystone compatible beacons.
Real-world example - a beacon attached to copier can provide information and how-to guides via a clever mobile app!
In comparison with iBeacon technology, Eddystone gives you more information, such as the URL of the beacon (hence the concept of the "Physical Web"), signal strength, temperature and battery level. The standard also has room for extensions such as data from embedded sensors, for example motion, orientation, temperature, humidity, light and sound.
With the Evothings JavaScript API for Eddystone, it is very easy for web developers to develop beacon applications.
With Evothings Viewer and Evothings Workbench, you can develop Eddystone apps directly on mobile phones and tablets. When you connect multiple phones to the Workbench, all of them will run the app and reload updates as you edit the code. Any changes you make to the code will instantly be sent to all devices each time you save any of the files in the app. It is easy to develop mobile applications in JavaScript for Eddystone beacons with this fast workflow.
The Eddystone functionality is implemented as a Cordova/PhoneGap plugin. This is an open-source plugin you can use to build a native app for publication on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. This plugin is included with Evothings Viewer, so you don't need to do anything special to run an Eddystone app when using Evothings Viewer. When your app is ready to be published, build it using Cordova. More on this below.
Here is what you need to get up and running:
The easiest way to get started is to explore the Eddystone Scan example app that comes with the Evothings Studio download:
A quick way to create your own app is to copy the example app:
Experiment by making some changes to the code:
To change the label that appears in the "My Apps" listing, alter the title tag in index.html.
The Eddystone JavaScript library is packaged as a Cordova plugin. Cordova is a build tool that enables creating native apps you can publish on Apple App Store and Google Play.
If you visit the GitHub repository for the Eddystone Cordova/PhoneGap plugin you will find helpful documentation about the Eddystone JavaScript API.
In addition, the tutorial Detecting Eddystone beacons in JavaScript made easy introduces the library and provides background information about Eddystone.
The Eddystone library is implemented in a JavaScript source file called eddystone.js. This file is included with the Cordova plugin.
JavaScript files for the Cordova plugins are bundled with Evothings Viewer, and these are not visible in the Evothings app folder. Including the link to cordova.js will in turn include eddystone.js and the JavaScript files for all installed plugins.

Our unique approach to bringing a mobile payments platform to Colombia starts with philanthropy. With our app coffee drinkers worldwide will be able to send a tip, or a propina in Spanish, directly to the farmer and laborers who brought the coffee from seed to cup. We are establishing pension accounts in a partnership with Colpensiones, a division of the Ministry of Labor, for the farmers and workers of Colombia. The pagPropina tip will be deposited directly into the pension accounts, which will provide compound returns in much the same way as the trees that continuously harvest coffee in Colombia all year-round. Inequities remain a sad reality in the coffee world. A single Arabica coffee tree can produce beans for up to 100 years, but the farmers and laborers in Colombia still struggle to feed their families from harvest to harvest. Our technology will disrupt the Fair Trade model and provide a self-sustaining alternative.

Ready to go
Celtic star Sinclair looking ripped and ready for comeback and so is his missus Helen Flanagan
by David FowlerSCOTT SINCLAIR may be out of the picture at Celtic but he says he's focused and ready - and his missus Helen Flanagan has joked she's ready too.
The Hoops star uploaded a snap to Instagram looking ripped as he continues to work hard to force his way into Neil Lennon's side.
Sinclair has only featured in six times this campaign from the bench and has hit two goals.
The 30-year-old attacker is currently in Dubai as the domestic action takes a short-break due to the international break.
And he's showed he is in peak physical condition.
He wrote: "No matter what the situation, I'm focused and ready...!"
His partner Helen Flanagan was clearly excited and joked: "I'm ready too 😅😜 xxx"
Aston Villa assistant boss John Terry, who knows the attacker from their time at Chelsea together joked that his legs needed some work.
He added: "💪 Don't forget the legs geez 😂"
Sinclair has found squad time difficult to come by after falling behind Mohamed Elyounoussi and Mikey Johnston in the pecking order.
Since his arrival in 2016, he's played over 160 times for the Scottish champions netting 62 times.
He was the subject of English Championship interest on deadline day in the summer, but ended up staying at Parkhead.

THE CROSSING GUARD
A film review by Billy Bud Vermillion
Copyright 1996 Billy Bud Vermillion
The Crossing Guard, a film by Sean Penn, starring Jack
Nicholson and a bunch of other people who don't count
cause Nicholson't in it(just kidding). Also starring
Robin Wright, David Morse, Angelica Huston. Produced by
Sean Penn and David Hamburger. Executive Producers, Bob
Weinstein, Harvey Weinstein, Richard N. Gladstein. Miramax
Pictures
This is definitely the best movie to be released last year(hey, I didn't see Crumb, so sue me). It speaks to the soul, humming softly at you, urging you to look inside and see if you'd do the same thing as the figures on screen. Really. A powerful, moving piece of work every one who's ever felt the need for vengeance or justice in an unjust world should see just to show you how justice can be unjust, too.
The film opens as John Booth, convicted of manslaughter in a drunk-driving accident, is released from prison. We meet his parents, who love him very much, and obviously miss him. We see him as a tortured soul, guilty for what he did, for killing a little girl.  He is a horribly depressed man,a man in a lot of pain.
Then we meet Freddy Gale, one of the most complex characters Nicholson's dealt with in a long time. He is obsessed with fantasies of revenge. He's been counting off the days on a little wall calendar, waiting for Booth to get out. He's planned to kill him since the trial, for his daughter's death. He is man lost to his dreams. All he has is revenge, liquor, and the strip bars where he picks women up from time to time. His wife(Huston)has long-since divorced him an married another man(Robbie Robertson)and thinks Freddy has forgotten her and her other kids for what she sees as selfish wish-fulfillment fantasies. Huston looks more haggard in this role than I think I've ever seen her. She's been worn down by her husband's madness.
Booth meets a woman(Wright)at a party his friend(David Baerwald, nice touch)throws for him, and she falls in love with him, though he can't love because of his oppressive feelings of guilt. Gale eventually makes his way to Booth's trailer and tries to shoot him, but the gun won't fire. He gives Booth three days to live. The movie then follows both characters during the three days, with Wright's character trying to bring Booth back to some semblance of life and Nicholson's moving farhter and farther from life into a kind of dead-eyed obsession. The three days pass, and Booth decides he wants to live, so he runs. The best scene in the movie comes during this part.Nicholson chases him onto a bus, but, polite jewelery store owner and former family man that he is, he decides to sit down and wait for the bus to stop before pursuing Booth(he knows the consequences of killing Booth will probably be the chair, but he still can't bring himself to go nuts on a bus--brilliant!). The ending is one of the most touching I've ever seen(though a little predictable). Penn has proven himself a fine director, and Nicholson has reaffirmed his status as a damn fine actor, too.
Coincidence, perhaps, that this film deals with the same basic idea as dead man walking(starring Penn)? I think not. And this one was released first. Hmmm....
This film may not be out in theaters any longer, but wait for it on video, because it's definitely worth your time. A fine film.

A CA is a third-party entity in a network which issues digital certificates and manages security credentials and public keys for message encryption. A CA issues a public key certificate which states that the CA attests that the public key contained in the certificate belongs to the person, organization, server, or other entity noted in the certificate. The CA verifies applicant credentials, so that relying parties can trust the information in the CA certificates. If you trust the CA and can verify the CA signature, then you can also verify that a certain public key does indeed belong to whomever is identified in the certificate.Important: Before adding a CA, it is critical to verify that it is genuine; a malicious CA can compromise network security by signing fake certificates.Your organization has an internal CA that signs the certificates or peering certificates for the back-end server. The server certificates are signed by an intermediate or root CA unknown to the Steelhead appliance (perhaps external to the organization). The CA certificate included in the trusted list of the Steelhead appliance has expired or has been revoked and needs replacing.

We're no longer closing down and instead are selling to a competent and capable company who will continue operating the service.
Following our initial closing down announcement, we were contacted by various parties interested in purchasing the business.
I had previously considered selling the service as an alternative to closing down, however I wasn't certain how easily I could find a buyer who would be capable of operating the service competently and in the same spirit.
We were recently contacted by Purple Tiger Media Ltd with a proposal to purchase Hosting Reborn.

We're yet to agree on the details of the sale, however I'm certain that the service will be able to continue to operate.

Web page backgrounds used to be commonplace, but they became unpopular once designers figured out that visitors to web pages didn’t want their eyes wrenched out by gaudy tiled background patterns. With text being as hard to read on-screen as it is, it’s adding insult to injury to inflict some nasty paisley mosaic background (or worse) on the poor reader, too.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture A Review by Joe Chamberlain
Starring William Shatner; Leonard Nimoy; DeForest Kelley & James Doohan
This is the film that Star Trek fans waited for ten years for. They were so thrilled that Paramount made the damn thing that fans went in droves to see it, and made it a hit. At least that's my theory, because nothing else about this movie could explain its success. I could be being a little hard on this film -- for its day the special effects were amazing -- possibly the best that had ever been in a film. The problem is that it's now 20 years later and the special effects don't stack up quite as well today, so this film needs a little more to hold an audience. Unfortunately, it doesn't have it.
Now before I get thousands of angry letters from Star Trek fans, I have to point out that I am a big fan of the series. As a matter of fact, I still remember going to see Star Trek: The Motion Picture when it was released back in 1979. I, like everyone else in the theater was thrilled with the movie. That was then, and this in now. I usually like to judge films on their own merits, but it is extremely hard to do so when dealing with the Star Trek franchise. It seems as though you can turn on your TV any hour of the day and catch a rerun of the original series or one of its spin-offs. So Star Trek: The Motion Picture almost has to be judged by the quality of the writing that has come before and after it. Even in comparison to the sequel, Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan, which is arguably the best of all of the Star Trek films, Star Trek: The Motion Picture pales in comparison. I was shocked as I screened this movie in order to review it. I hadn't seen it in several years and I was astounded as to how draggy it was. From the extended sequence of music before the opening credits, to the long flyby shots of the Enterprise as Kirk sees it for the first time this movie gives boring a new definition. To be fair, the Enterprise flyby shots were included to give millions of Trekkies the chance to see the restyled Enterprise and marvel at what ten years of special effects advancement and many millions of dollars can do in terms of a facelift. Unfortunately, after almost twenty years of these movies we all know what the Enterprise looks like, so it just amounts to extra minutes of pointless nothingness.
I'm not even going to get into the Klingons, who ten years earlier had looked like humans who hadn't bathed in a few months and then go from that into having a spiny ridge down the center of their heads. I guess the make-up artists were so concerned with impressing the audience that they forgot to bother watching the original television series.
OK, on to the plot. A huge cloud is heading towards Earth, wiping out every thing in its path and the only vessel that can reach it in time is the newly refitted U.S.S. Enterprise. Star Fleet gives command back to James Kirk (William Shatner) and he and the gang go off to save the galaxy. Another thing that I should point out is that the first half of this movie is just like one big reunion show with the typical "Hi, how are you? How long has it been?" Now that was fine and dandy when the movie first came out, but kinda monotonous now. One high note of this movie is that Willim Shatner gives one of the most understated performances of his career -- this isn't saying that he still doesn't give overacting a whole new meaning at certain points, just that he keeps it to a minimum. Of course many might argue that it is just that quality that made Bill Shatner the star he is today.
The plot is weak, and the movie is slow to the point of tears at some points in order for director Robert Wise to get in as many special effects shots as he could. It is obvious that the producers figured that between the spectacular special effects and the reunion aspect of the movie, the audience wouldn't care if there was a plot. I'm not going to gripe anymore about this movie -- did a mention the uniforms? -- They all look like they are wearing pajamas. I'm not saying that this is a bad movie, although, it is far from being a good one. It's just that the years have not been kind to it. Combine that with the fact several of its sequels have been many times superior (Start Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home) and you get the feeling of being a little cheated by people who made a name for themselves because of the top notch writing so long associated with Star Trek. If you are a Star Trek fan who wants to get a little nostalgic, it's not a bad choice. If you aren't interested in nostalgia, or not a particularly big Star Trek fan, do yourself a big favor and watch Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan -- a better film (albeit darker) in every respect.
No where near as good as some of its sequels 5/10

HIGHLANDER 2: THE QUICKENING A film review by Mark Santora Copyright 1991 Mark Santora
Well, in Miami last night HIGHLANDER 2:THE QUICKENING premiered. And I must say that I paid no heed to the warnings given by the European members of this VAX system to the nature of the movie. I was determined to give the film a fair chance. And I did. However, a fair chance from a man who loved the first HIGHLANDER immensely could not save it from the inevitable failure it would end in.
First, let's start with the title. Or better yet, the subtitle; THE QUICKENING. I still know nothing about it after seeing this film except that both Ramirez and MacLeod put their fingers in this glowing orange stuff. They referred to the quickening a few times and that was it basically. There wasn't anything new about it that we didn't learn in the first film.
Next let's start with the plot. In the opening minutes we see a young MacLeod with another man as they stand in a bunker raising a shield over the now ozoneless Earth. We cut to 25 years later, MacLeod is an old man and sitting in an opera house. He dreams of being from the planet Zeist; a super tells us this is 500 years ago. He was a rebellion leader with Ramirez. This is where they dunk their fingers into the glowing orange stuff. Than we see the rebellion killed off by Michael Ironside and the troops of the planet. Ramirez and MacLeod are captured and sentenced to life on Earth as immortals until only one remains. Once that one is left, he may return to Zeist. They send them to Earth.
Now, 500 years later, they don't want them back.  They don't. He dispatches their heads and becomes young again. Immediately after this he jumps into bed with Virginia Madsen, who plays an environmental terrorist who believes the ozone layer has repaired itself and that the shield can be turned off. Her character is worthless and has less depth than a saucer.
In fact, the entire plot and dialogue is horrible. I winced every time something was said. It was painful to watch them try to find some reason in the script. Fortunately for the writers of the first HIGHLANDER, they were not involved in this script. Which is a major problem with it. The new script just suffers too many inconsistencies. A major one is at the end where MacLeod and Ironside are sword-fighting. MacLeod loses the sword he is using. In the next scene, all of the sudden he has the Japanese sword back from the original film. This sword hasn't been seen in the entire film. It makes a cameo for the last two minutes.
Connery has some good lines and his return is well-handled. Granted, they could have made him a little more crucial to the plot, as he really wasn't needed the way the story was handled.  Connery must have been paid very well to act here.
Filmically, it lacks greatly from the first film. The first had beautiful scndapes and wondrous transitions between scenes, the fishtank. This didn't have any. It was boring to watch. Not to mention the sets were horrible. It was like watching Batman again. They didn't look real. They had a fake quality to them. I was not impressed.
As for Russell Mulcahey, when his name appeared before the film, there was a lot of cheering. However, now I wonder what possessed him to accept a script this bad. Why did he not use his, obviously, talented camera work? This film might set back the help that RICOCHET did to his carrer.
Stuart Copland did the music. It was uninteresting and neither moving nor suspenseful. A song by Queen, "Who Wants to Live Forever?," is played by MacLeod on a jukebox in a bar. Also a piece from Michael Kamen is used when Madsen is going through MacLeod's attic. Here we Americans get to see a still picture of MacLeod in WWII, the scene deleted for HIGHLANDER's original release here. Aside from that, there is nothing special musically.
I don't think I can stress how unimpressed and disappointed I was by HIGHLANDER II: THE QUICKENING. I had extremely high hopes that the film would at least bear some resemblance to the original. It does not. If you loved the first one, you can wait to see H2 on video. You won't miss much. Trust me. There is no "MAGIC" in HIGHLANDER 2. Do something good with your money, go purchase the original.

The opinions expressed in this review are my own and I have no affiliations with the film in any way.

Help for domain administration: Index
A user group allows the Domain Administrator to designate a collection of users who share a special set of privileges for designated projects on this site. This lets you assign roles, and the permissions associated with those roles, to a select group of users in a single operation. Roles can also be removed from user groups in the same manner.
Assigning or removing user group privileges is handled within the context of project groups. More information about this is available in Creating and editing project groups. The document you are currently viewing covers how to create and edit user groups.
As an example of how you might apply the user group feature, suppose your site includes projects which require some users who contribute to projects only for a limited time. You could define a "Contract Project Group" for all those affected projects. Then you could create a "Contractors User Group" and assign modified roles to this group to limit their access and privileges.
You could also define user groups in alignment with your organizational structure, such as by departments or development teams, then tailor the roles and permissions to suit the types of site activities you want to allow these groups of users.
To create a user group:
After you have submitted the new user group, the All User Groups page displays with the new group added.
If you need to view, add, or remove members from a user group:
Because user groups are designed to work in conjunction with project groups, you must assign a particular set of roles and permissions to users in a group en masse within the context of creating and editing a project group. See Editing project groups for more details.

Instagram 2010
Instagram was another similar social media website to Twitter. However, Instagram
could not be used from a computer. You had to download an app and use it on your mobile.
Similarly to Twitter when it first was launched, Instagram was another messaging platform. Although,
it was more of a picture sharing site.
This is what the website looked like before.
A bit different design template to the other social media websites. They simply had a download button that directed you to a mobile app store. However, they kept a simple design to their homepage.
Instagram 2020
Compared to the other social media platforms, Instagram is new. They have kept their features
very similar to when it was first introduced. Same goes for the website design. Now you can
use Instagram from a computer. The reason is because websites are becoming more important each
day since we have everything we need in one single place.
This is what it looks like now.
The website look almost the same compared to the old one. The only thing they have changed
is the color. White is becoming a more reliable color for websites today. It makes things easier to
see. It makes other design pop up more.
Instagram in the other hand has kept their way of uploading pictures and commenting the same.
unlike Twitter which has become more for sharing stories. Instagram is becoming more of an advertisement
site today. If you use the application you will be flooded with people promoting stuff for other
websites. Even ads are appearing in your timeline. Things are changing a lot in the social media
industry. The main reason is commercial and advertisements.


Blogging Software
09 Apr 2014So you want to have a blog (who doesn’t, right?) and you’re wondering which software you should use. Should you use an existing web site or roll your own? Perhaps a CMS (Content Management System) so you can go hog-crazy and add all sorts of stuff to your blog, videos, photos, plugins, cats, etc.
Well, I’m here to help you. I’ve had my blog for a while in blogger and it’s fine, but recently I wanted to create another blog to post the chapters of a novel I’m working on to put it out there and maybe get some feedback, you can check it out at novel.kakuweb.com. So I started hunting around for the best way to do so.
I looked at all the major blogging software out there and tried most of them, some I won’t even mention here, what’s the point of going on and on about something I didn’t like? I’ll just talk about the top 3.
TL;DR
The Too Long, Didn't Read
version is:
- if you know nothing about coding and don’t care to learn, go with blogger easy and quick to set up.
- if you love Markdown and don’t mind getting your hands a bit dirty, use Poole or more specifically Poole with the Lanyon theme (read the rest of the post to know what this means).
The long version
Why not blogger then? Easy: blogger is a bit limited in your options, and the worst sin of all: it doesn’t support Markdown, plus the code hightlighting is crap, it just supports the
or

HTML tags, so I needed an alternative.
Wordpress
Of course, the first thing I tried was Wordpress, the king of blog software out there, there must be more Wordpress blogs in the world than all of the other options combined.
Wordpress has a wealth of options and plugins and themes and what not, it’s fine, go ahead and use it, but it has some things I hate:
Complexity
- You need a Mysql database and user to be able to use Wordpress, this in itself can be very daunting to some people and means your web hosting company needs to support it. Of course, Mysql support is fairly common these days for hosting companies.
- It runs on PHP, if you want to make a change not covered by your theme, you need to know PHP and find a hosting company that supports it. Like Mysql, hosting companies with support for PHP are a-plenty.
- It stores everything in a database, moving you Wordpress blog can be pretty hard depending on your level of expertise.

PHP
I’ve worked with PHP for years, on and off for about 12 years, it’s an OK language, very quick in execution but after switching to Ruby I now hate it. Can’t stand it, don’t want to ever see it again, let alone work with it. Wordpress is written entirely in PHP.

Other PHP-based blogs
There are a ton out there, each purporting to be the next best thing since sliced bread. I didn’t try them for all the same reasons outlined with Wordpress.
Ghost
Ghost is the new kid on the block, the latest blogging software and is quite en vogue right now. It’s based on Node.js and is open source.
I tried it, I liked it, simple, pretty, easy to use, no user setup since it relies on SQLite, but it has some issues:
- SQLite is not supported on Heroku where I wanted to host the blog.
- You can pay as little as $5 a month and have your blog on ghost.org, that’s great, but I’m already paying monthly for my website hosting, didn’t want to pay twice.
Ok, so host it on your regular website, what’s the problem? I can’t, the problem is Ghost is written in Node.js and my current web host provider, Site5.com, does not support Node.js for shared accounts, meaning you need a private server all to yourself, forget it.
Also, there aren’t a ton of customization options, so if that’s your thing, look elsewhere. If not, and you don’t mind paying $5 a month for your blog or can find a provider that supports Node.js and want to install it yourself, it’s a good option.
Jekyll
Jekyll creates static pages, no database, no users, no PHP, no Chemical Brothers, just your blog pages, and it’s based around Markdown, you can write all your pages in Markdown and nothing else, great. It’s actually a Ruby gem but you don’t have to know Ruby or do any programming to get it going, you just install it with:
And you have an instant blog. All you need to do is edit the pages inside _posts
and Jekyll will refresh everything automatically (provided you used the --watch
flag when you started the server). The best part, to publish your site, the easiest thing to do is copy everything inside the _site
folder over to your server and that’s it, no configuration of any kind, no database, no weird languages, etc. your pages are live. Name your posts with the date and name and Jekyll will pick it up automatically from the name, for example:
2014-04-05-the-best-blogging-software-ever
It comes with a lot more bells and whistles and themes and things and you can publish to different places, including github for free , but it’s great that you can create a blog so easily and quickly and with so little pain. In fact, I had my blog being updated just by pushing to my remote repository with git, how awesome is that?
However, Jekyll is pretty bare-bones, you’ll want to grab the Lanyon variant of Jekyll (technically Lanyon is a variant of Poole which is Jekyll with some added files), it comes complete with a nice minimalistic theme that puts text first and foremost.
Make sure you installed Jekyll with gem install jekyll
, download Lanyon to your machine, open a terminal, cd
over to that folder and type:
Boom, brand new, awesome blog!
I love this thing, it’s really wonderful the lack of complexity and hassle, you just type your posts in Markdown and push your remote repo and you’re done! Nothing can beat that. If you don’t do git, no worries, just FTP the content of the _site
directory over to your site, you’ll still end up with a beautiful blog with minimum hassle.
It even has support for drafts, just create a regular _drafts
folder in the root of your blog and create your drafts there, just don’t put the date in the name since you don’t know when you’re going to publish them, and you can keep working on them until they’re ready.
It comes with a templating engine (yeah, I know, yet another one???) called liquid
which is pretty easy to use and allows you to customize your site in a jiffy.
I was so excited by this that I initially had it publishing to my github pages simply because it was so easy to do, I was in heaven. However, for a novel, probably putting the whole manuscript up on github is not such a great idea, all it takes is one bastard to download the whole thing with one click and then sell it as their own, leaving me destitute. So it was with a broken heart that I decided not to publish the novel to github (oh the pain) but rather to my own server where it’s a bit harder to download all the chapters. I mean, sure, anyone can copy/paste but there is no link to download the whole thing with one click as there is on github.
So the conclusion is that Lanyon is your best bet, get it, use it, love it.
But wait, what about Jekyllbootstrap or Ruhoh which are both based on Jekyll?
They’re both valid options but I even though Jekyllbootstrap adds a number of options to get you up and running, it’s more complex than Lanyon and I found it poorly documented, plus the guy who wrote it is no longer maintaining it, he moved over to Ruhoh which is even more complex and also doesn’t have great documentation. I’m not saying don’t use them, or that they’re too hard to figure out but I’m saying that with the amount of time I had to dedicate to this project, Lanyon hit just the right balance, not as bare-bones as Jekyll yet not as complex as to the others, the sweet spot.
If you use Rails and want to incorporate Jekyll, here’s a good article on how to do that.
Thanks to Joshua Lande for pointing me to this variation of the Jekyll blog software.

Smoked river trout works well with a celeriac, kohlrabi, apple and ginger coleslaw - but the ginger broth takes it to another level.
For the broth, place the chilli, ginger, stock and coriander stalks into a large pan. Simmer for three hours.
For the slaw, grate the kohlrabi, celeriac, apple and ginger into a bowl. Add the mayonnaise and horseradish and stir to combine.
For the fish, preheat the grill to hot and grill the river trout until cooked through, turning once.
For the squid, heat the oil in a deep fat fryer until a bread cube sizzles and turns golden-brown when dropped in the oil. (CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.)
Combine the jerk seasoning and cornflour on one plate, pour the milk into a shallow bowl and put the panko breadcrumbs onto another plate.
Dip the squid rings in the seasoned cornflour mixture, then the milk and finally the panko breadcrumbs.
Deep fry until golden-brown. Carefully remove from the deep fat fryer and drain on a plate lined with kitchen paper.
Slice the grilled smoked trout. Place the slaw into small bowls, topped with the broth. Place the trout slices and the squid on top.


Characterization of amyloid fibril beta-peptide in familial Alzheimer's disease with APP717 mutations.
Amyloid fibrils were isolated from the brain tissue of two individuals who died with familial Alzheimer's disease, one with the phenylalanine 717 mutation in amyloid precursor protein (APP) and one with the isoleucine 717 APP mutation. After solubilization in guanidine hydrochloride and fractionation by sieve chromatography, low molecular weight fractions were treated with cyanogen bromide to generate the beta-peptide fragment starting after the methionine at position 35. Amino acid sequence analysis of all resultant peptides identified the peptide Val-Gly-Gly-Val-Val-Ile-Ala which represents residues 36-42 of the beta-amyloid peptide. No sequence beyond position 42 was found. These findings show that the amino acid substitution at position 717 is not incorporated into the amyloid deposits and suggests that the mutation may have metabolic affects which determine pathogenesis.


Culture and Arts Unit is a functional arm of the Office of Student Welfare and Services responsible for developing and honing the students’ talents, skills, and values for appreciation, and promoting the culture and arts. The official culture and arts organization of the college was formally established in the 1st semester of the Academic Year 2010-2011 and named as the Performing Arts Student Ensemble (PASE). Its primary duty is to organize groups of students inclined in vocal (the PASE Voci), instrumental (the PASE Cuerdas), dance (the PASE Ballo), theater arts (the PASE Teatro) and visual arts (the PASE Visual).
As part of the college’s commitment to the holistic development of its students, the Culture and Arts Unit was created and continuously developed. In addition, as stipulated in the Gordon College Student Handbook under the Student Services Section X, “The College shall provide opportunities for the appreciation of culture and arts through the different performing arts group in the college and participation to various cultural competitions and activities.”
In response to the College’s mission to produce well-trained, skilled, dynamic, and competitive individuals imbued with values and attitudes and responsive to the changing needs of the local, national and global communities, the students are encouraged to actively involve and participate in all fields of their talent.
Our aim is to support the artists’ leadership through group regular trainings and workshops, maintain harmonious relationships among the members, and finally, to provide scholarship grants for those qualified members.
A creative and excellent unit that harnesses and optimizes the potentials of both student-artists as well as educators, through significant programs that promote and develop artistic talents in performing arts; supporting the atmosphere of unity, equality and prosperity, the culture and arts enhances academic awareness and vigilant participation in campus affairs promoting Filipino culture and establishing national consciousness in Gordon College community.
To endorse communal undertaking responsibilities and cooperation among students to become a talent development and management organization in the college that will promote student’s artistic talents and literacy in the field of arts.
