Brad Pitt slays 'em in a raucous WWII flick
By THELMA ADAMSOPENS: FRIDAY 8/21

Quentin Tarantino's exciting WWII tale centers on a band of handpicked Jewish guerrilla warriors who kill Nazis behind enemy lines in occupied France from 1941–44. An energetic Brad Pitt sets the tone as the group's rowdy lieutenant, who encourages his men to literally take the scalps off their enemies. This leads to many gory moments — close-ups of knives, skulls and brains — though they're dialed back by blood-loving Tarantino's standards. Filled with vigorous acting (Christoph Waltz could get an Oscar nod for his smooth-talking Nazi) and dense, comic dialogue, the flick satisfies. One quibble: Since the movie is told in episodes, it doesn't build to the big bang that audiences crave.

Quest Software’s Unicode (UTF-8)

Please make note of the following caveats Toad for Oracle supports any single-byte character set. Enabling UTF-8 does not automatically cause issues with Toad. The use of double-byte or multi-byte character does not automatically result in issues with Toad, provided that the Oracle database Client/Server configuration settings are in synch. For instance, Toad for Oracle is used extensively in Korea and it works well. Issues can arise with certain combinations of the Oracle client NLS settings and Windows regional settings. However, they seem to occur only when inserting or updating data (there are some scenarios in which data retrieval can cause issues). This makes it crucial for the database, client and OS to be in synch with any internationalization settings. In addition, when using UTF-8 data in the editor or a grid, a font that supports the desired characters must be selected as the default font. Mono-space fonts (also known as fixed-width or non-proportional) will not support...
