>> john: tonight on "viewpoint," john boehner demands an arrest in the i.r.s.
despite the fact that zero laws were broken. tea party hates them, welfare queens. but after this week with the i.r.s. scrutiny, d.o.j., a.p.
and the never ending exploitation of benghazi, this week has been like christmas for the tea party. later, we'll be joined by the world's greatest authority on christmas and the tea party leader in the show who may not like the presidency. s birthday of liberace and janet jackson. this is also my dream wedding band combo. on this date in 1929, the first ever academy awards were handed
5:01 pm
out in hollywood but it doesn't count as the oscars because weinstein wasn't around yet to buy off the entire academy. >> john: i'm john fuglesang. this is "viewpoint." thank you so much for joining us this evening. call it tea party christmas. call it the scandalous week ever. call the apocalypse. this week was definitely one the president and his administration would like to soon forget but that won't be the case for republicans and their base who would like nothing more than to keep this week very fresh in your memories and their campaign coffers all the way through 2014. it began with new congressional hearings on the benghazi attacks and an abc news report that seemed to suggest more of a cover-up than had previously been uncovered. before that could be debunked which it subsequently has
5:02 pm
inspector general report revealed the i.r.s. has been targeting the tax-exempt status of tea party and conservative-leaning groups, forcing president
to confront both charges head-on. >>
: who executes some sort of cover-up or effort to tamp things down for three days? the fact that this keeps on getting churned out frankly has a lot to do with political motivations. if you've got the i.r.s. operating in anything less than a neutral and nonpartisan way then that is outrageous. it is contrary to our traditions. and people have to be held accountable and it's got to be fixed. >> john: because we a all know the i.r.s. has always operated in a nonpartisan way. however, just when it seemed the president had begun to put the scandals back in the bag it emerginged that the department of justice had secretly obtained phone records from "the associated press." while perfectly and abhorrently legal, it forced attorney
5:03 pm
general eric holder to confront the charges in a news conference of his own. >> this was a very serious -- very serious leak. very, very serious leak. it put the american people at risk. and trying to determine who was responsible for that, i think required very aggressive action. >> john: so as the dust begins to settle on this scandalous few days we have a benghazi
that wasn't a
an i.r.s.
that the administration almost certainly knew nothing about, a d.o.j.
that almost certainly wasn't illegal but a real
and a great week for republican fund-raising. to discuss we are pleased to be joined by contributor to forbes.com, the great rick ungar and the host of ring of fire and the majority report, the great sam seder. thank you for joining us. >> good to be here. >> john: sam when we look back on this week, do you think it will be seen as a bad blip on the eight-year
radar or is this a defining week for his second term? >> i think it's actually going
5:04 pm
to have some staying hour but even before addressing that, i think there is more to this a.p. story than i think we're giving credit. it is not clear that what the justice department did was actually legal. they have their own internal guidelines statutory guidelines as to when they are to get a secret subpoena as opposed to informing the media outlet. they're seeking one and giving the media outlet a time to negotiate. with that being said, yeah, look, the republican party i've said this in the context of many other issues, they have created a frankenstein and it is running through the streets. they're going to run with benghazi. they're going to run with the i.r.s. because that feeds nicely into their narrative. i think they're actually going to get tripped up on what i would perceive is the real
because the president this week pushed harry reid to push the shield that which would protect media outlets in this way, provide some statutory
5:05 pm
protection for them which republicans are against. so i think the irony is going to be they're going to push the nonscandals significantly more than at least what i perceive to be the real
. >> john: because that only hurt reporters and they don't like reporters to begin with. >> it is also part of the national security apparatus. whistle-blowers. this a.p. story would not be so big if it weren't forever the fact that the
administration had created a narrative and they have created a record of going after whistle-blowers with an unprecedented zeal. in contrary to what the president had said before he was president. >> john: i would say in the world created by former attorneys general ashcroft and gonzalez, it is arguably legal. we'll see how much the tea party cares. rick, what do you think of the three scandals or kerfuffles? will we see our republican friends make the most hay from? >> right now they're all going to get all three of them in the barrel. i agree with what sam said. we don't yet know that the behavior of the justice
5:06 pm
department was legal. the only thing we really know at this point is that the subpoena was clearly overbroad as compared to anything we've seen before. that doesn't make it illegal. it makes it odd. it remains to be seen. we have to wait and see. the i.r.s., you know, you may have seen i wrote a piece about this today. calling for people to be jailed. we still don't know if there was a crime. we have absolutely no indications. so, you know, they're just pushing this for all that it's worth. benghazi is turning against them. it is turning against them. it is going the wrong way. you watch, in the next seven days, darrell issa and his band of merry people will start moving off of that story toward whichever of the other is getting the most traction. >> john: let's talk benghazi for a second. i agree with you the scandals are great theatre except unlike theatre in new york, this theatre actually creates jobs. this benghazi
may be mrs. clinton's
, if it is
5:07 pm
to be a
. it is a tragedy our fellow countrymen are turning into a tragedy. sam, do you think that if it turns out there is no one to blame, that there was no dishonesty by the part of the justice department, the c.i.a. does not bend to the will, do you think that it matters at all for the g.o.p. when they really care about having something to hit the president with, inspiring the base to get out the vote in 2014 and raising lot of money all summer. >> well, i think they're going to take the benghazi
as far as they can take it. the i.r.s. one is a lot easier in my mind for them to continue to hammer because one the president has sort of -- now this may not stick on the president in the same way but look, they could just demonize the i.r.s. what they've been doing. he's capitulated in a way i think frankly was a mistake. >> john: why? >> first off i'm not even convinced that what the i.r.s. did was terribly inappropriate. i mean, you're talking about they imposed added scrutiny on a myriad of groups, not just tea
5:08 pm
partiers. they used it -- perhaps it was a poor choice. it was politically insensitive. it wasn't politically correct but the fact of the matter is the i.r.s. was faced with having to deal with certain things. the tea party was promoting candidates. it would be incompetence on their part. if they were not scrut nicing those things. we clearly need a change with the system as it is in terms of 501(c)(4)s. >> john: exactly. >> but to come out and be so overwrought about this, i think the president is giving it more legs than it deserves. >> john: rick, do you agree? >> the one thing i would point out, even if benghazi loses its steam in the reality right don't think for a second that they're not going to be able to continue to raise money off of benghazi for years to come. >> john: of course. that's the whole point. this is a perfect representation of what the g.o.p. strategy will be for the remainder of
's second term. throughout as many scandals as possible to prevent any meaningful legislation from having a chance of being passed.
5:09 pm
i think it is going to work, sam. >> i gotta say, i was saying this on my program at the beginning of the week and i've seen other people write it, if this prevents a grand bargain from happening if the president needs to turn toward his liberal base to protect him from these types of attacks and therefore he cannot afford -- he didn't have the good will to expend on getting something like the chain cpi, i'm for it. gridlock from a perspective of someone who wants to see progressive outcomes is, i guess, sort of the best we can hope for. >> john: it is a great point. many have talked about this during bill clinton's second term when he was talking about entitlement reform which is very nice way of saying have no more cat food, grandma. the fact that he was so mired in the lewinsky
during his second term made it impossible for him to do anything to make any kind of cuts in medicare. now we've seen this president essentially put medicare on the
5:10 pm
table. that can't happen now. >> you know what troubles me? unfortunately, you hear me say this too often. the president's communication group is so incredibly awful that we have to fear for what's going to happen in the next six months as they try to reinvigorate a reasonable discussion on healthcare. come october this all happens and i know for a fact that the white house is looking into how are we going to resell healthcare? not like they ever sold it in the first place. >> john: are you tired of seeing your party always playing defense? >> i don't see it as a problem with the party. i see it as a problem of a really poorly operating communications office in the white house. it ran badly in the first term. i'm seeing no signs whatsoever that they've improved in the second. they've handled this all really badly. >> john: sam, we know the g.o.p. is about collecting scouts as well. that may happen very soon. do you think they're going to get any? will the white house give anybody up?
5:11 pm
>> yesterday they got the head of the i.r.s. who was not head of the i.r.s. at the time that the
happened. >> john: exactly. head of the i.r.s. the real one. >> appoint by george bush. >> so look, this is what the politics for republicans are now. it is not dictate by policy. it is not dictate by any real grounding other than these cultural identify --fiedfiers and one of them is fighting barack
on everything even if they agree with it. that's what they're going to keep doing. >> john: rick, do you think this is going to lead to any major scalps? do you see carney ors holder being casualties? >> not jay carney. i think it is interesting. i would not be at all surprised if eric holder was getting close to his expiration date anyway. he said he wouldn't stay through the entire second term. now it will make it hard because
5:12 pm
even if he wants to leave, for him to capitulate, i don't think he's so anxious to do that. >> the other problem of course, is that in this environment what attorney general is going to get confirmed by a republican -- by the republican senate? so, you know -- >> the irony of that, the guy who was really running this investigation was the number two guy and he would be the acting attorney general. >> yes, but you know, we also have to remember that you have to see this in light of the -- of what the department of justice has done since president
has become president and this -- you know, there was an edict that you go after whistle-blowers with an incredible zeal. you know. and we're told that they needed to investigate this leak for something that they were planning to leak themselves the next day. >> john: so short-term gain for the g.o.p. is 2014 and the long-term gain is nationwide corporate deputylism. the medium range is hillary clinton in 2016.
5:13 pm
how does this impact her and her potential candidacy? >> i would even take hum brage with your midterm because the republican party there is the national leadership and then there's really what the republican party is now. which is basically just an aggregate of republicans who are running in very red districts and they're in the house. and so their interest is keeping their house seats. so they're just going to keep running in a direction that may hurt their national chances and that's why i don't think it is going to affect hillary clinton at all. >> john: killing immigration reform -- the fact that this may kill immigration reform guarantees that mrs. clinton is in a good place for 2016. >> if she wants to run there is nothing in her way. >> john: what's this administration's best strategy to putting this week and that's three incidents scandals, controversies behind them? >> you have to be much more aggressive than they have been. much more aggressive. and we're going to see you
5:14 pm
know, how everything ends up playing out in the long-term with the e-mails that have now been released. we'll see. it will be a question of how they communicate. if we're scoring them so far they're getting whipped. if they get up to bat this can change easily. these are not hard "scandals" to do battle with. we've seen much worse and we've seen presidents come out of them way better. certainly ronald reagan comes to mind with iran-contra. he didn't get impeached. they've got to get their game plan together and stop being so stupid. >> john: ronald reagan with iran-contra, much worse. watergate was not up against a bloodthirsty democratic party. >> this is not that hard to manage. they just haven't done it correctly. >> i think they have to go on the offensive. prom october the shield act puts the question in front of the republicans. do you want to actually provide this protection. to the media and i would go in terms of the i.r.s., i would go and start promoting the disclose act.
5:15 pm
501(c)(4)s basically obsolete which saying you have to disclose who's giving you money. >> john: how do we do that? >> it is extremely easy if you push the disclose act and say put your money where your mouth is let's pass the disclose act. i don't think it can. but i think what it can do is it can throw water on the
. the strategy of the white house should be to push legislation and basically calls their bluff on these things. it may be something they didn't necessarily want in the first place, the white house. but it is something that, you know, i think will corner the republicans. >> john: million dollar question to the middle class of america, rick, is there any chance of any legislation passing this congress in the next three years besides naming buildings after ronald reagan? >> i still think immigration is going to pass. >> john: you do? >> yeah. i think the republicans have
5:16 pm
this tainted notion it is going to help their national prospects. they're completely wrong but they seem to believe that this is the only way they're going to get it done. i think they will pass immigration. >> john: sam any theories? >> i think immigration has a pretty good shot because again the dynamics have not changed. this week, they lost their -- their hispanic outreach director in florida. the republicans -- that's a pretty bad sign. he's doing this with some knowledge at least that immigration is still in play. reform is still in play. i think that the metrics have not changed for the republican party. they need to do this. >> john: i think that story was buried. that man is about to become the most famous latino democrat. rick ungar and host of majority report and ring of fire, sam seder. the two smartest guys in class. thank you. >> john: okay. remember the sequester? you know that thing that caused all of the plane to be delayed?
5:17 pm
apparently it is causing real problems. not for congress but for you know who. you know who is coming on to me now? you know the kind of guys that do reverse mortgage commercials? those types are coming on to me all the time now. (vo) she gets the comedians laughing and the thinkers thinking. >>ok, so there's wiggle room in the ten commandments, that's what you're saying. you would rather deal with ahmadinejad than me. >>absolutely. >> and so would mitt romney. (vo) she's joy behar. >>and the best part is that current will let me say anything. what the hell were they thinking?
5:18 pm
5:19 pm
alright, in 15 minutes we're going to do the young turks. i think the number one thing that viewers like about the young turks is that we're honest. they know that i'm not bs'ing them with some hidden agenda, actually supporting one party or the other. when the democrats are wrong, they know that i'm going to be the first one to call them out. they can
5:20 pm
question whether i'm right, but i think that the audience gets that this guy, to the best of his ability, is trying to look out for us. (vo) current tv gets the converstion started weekdays 9am eastern. >> i'm a slutty bob hope. >> you are. >> the troops love me. the sweatshirt is nice and all but i could use a golden lasso. (vo) only on current tv. >> john: so after months of republicans and right-wing media claiming that the president's warnings about sequestration were overblown hype and just fear tactics the spending cuts only hit home with many in congress when it meant they might have to wait a few minutes longer in the first class lounge while awaiting their flights home from d.c. in his press conference, president
took a moment to say, in essence "i told you so." >>
: the notion was that we had exaggerated the effects of the sequester. the president's crying wolf.
5:21 pm
he's chicken little. the sequester no problem. what we now know is that what i warned earlier what jay stood up here and warned repeatedly, is happening. it slowed our growth. it's resulting in people being thrown out of work. and it is hurting folks all across the country. >> john: however, there were a few whoa have been vocal from the start about the seriousness of the sequester cuts. one of whom was recently featured in a segment on the daily show. >> mr. frowny pants, joe berg of the new york coalition against hunger. >> the whole reason the sequestration hasn't gotten more media coverage is because it's affecting poor people most. >> so nobody has been affected. >> the shame on the nation. >> john: recently, i had the chance to sit down with mr. berg to talk about the effect of the sequester cuts and what they're doing to low-income families. i'm please to the welcome back joel berg, the executive director of the new york
5:22 pm
coalition against hunger and author of "all you can eat how hungry is america." joel, welcome back to "viewpoint." >> thanks for having me. >> john: thank you again for your continuing service on this issue. you have been out in front of the crowd on this all along and you've seen it coming. back in march when you were on the show, you told us how cuts were being planned for headstart, meals programs and the women infants and children food nutrition service. i'm pleased to see the media begin to cover this a bit more. are you surprised at how the media hasn't picked up the ball and run with it, how devastating the cuts will be? >> no. unfortunately, the media often ignores low-income people except for some higher paid people if they're cleaning their pools or mowing their lawn. not to be too nasty about it. with the exception of some shows like this, low-income americans are written out of the national their tave entirely. >> john: do you think that's because low-income americans don't vote or do you think it is because they have no influence?
5:23 pm
>> they really don't have the influence. part of it honestly is the media is so segmented now. 40 years ago, more latinos would have been watching mainstream, if i may say anglo tv, more african-americans may have been watching that. now that there's bet and the media is so segmented. if you monitor univision and say cbs for even a month you wouldn't even know you're in the same country. >> john: you mention on the daily show that tens of millions of people have been affected by these cuts. what groups are being hit the hardest? >> low-income people are the ones really being pounded by the sequestration. all this proves is washington can only agree on two things. shorting low-income people and taking care of themselves. >> john: we had when we say low income people, what are he we talking about? >> $17,000 for a family of three. many people would say making more than that still keeps you low income. tens of millions of americans
5:24 pm
who rely on the fema emergency food and shelter program that's a mouthful. but that's the main source of federal funding for soup kitchens food pantries, food banks, cash, as well as homelessness prevention programs. that's been cut by 5% on top of years of cuts. that program is now funded 60% less than it was in 2009 even though the need is higher. those are the kinds of people being impacted. head start children, people who rely on title one funding for schools, people who rely on federal housing help. it is people who are most vulnerable in our society who are easier to stomp down. mostly i think because they don't have campaign contributions. but they don't have the money. >> john: it is incredible to think these cuts are cheered on by the same people who say they want a government basedded on christian values. how badly has your group been hurt by the cuts and were any cuts more devastating?
5:25 pm
>> we had a vistas -- republicans should love it. it is a program that says you don't get a penny unless you work your tail off to get college aid and a small stipend. our entire new york city based vista americorps program was ended due to the sequestration. we have other projects around the country but entire components of our program was ended entirely. the wic money has been put back a little but still not nearly enough. i point out to my conservative pro-life friends, the wic program has prevented half a million children from dying at birth. so if you're really pro-life, you should be really pro--wic. there is funding for food banks has been decreased. funding for head start has been decreased. occasionally the sky does fall and occasionally chicken little was right. that's the case now. >> john: we mentioned the only way congress has rallied so far is to prevent flight delays. how does this conflict end? could congress come up with a deal on spending that doesn't
5:26 pm
rely on harming the most vulnerable of americans? >> i doubt congress will do it on its own. the president has to show some leadership. >> john: what could he do? >> first, he could admit that his idea was the sequestration in the first place and he said it would never happen. he has to admit he underestimated just how unreasonable the other side could be and he could use his veto pen. he seems to have forgotten the constitution does give the president of the united states some power. he makes it sound like he's just an innocent bystander. boy, i disagree with this faa fix. they said oh, i'm going to sign it. we need leadership from the president and we need to hold the american leaders accountable. we need, as the show is doing to point out program by program how people are being hurt by this. and how the wealthy are being let off the hook. donald trump, i'm sure he's a fine man. i've never met him. when he rides a private jet and gets help from a government air-traffic controller and i
5:27 pm
ride a jet and there are 200 people in it, donald trump is getting 200 times the amount of help than you or i might be. we have to redefine the debate to understand how the wealthiest gets far more help. >> john: corporate welfare hurts us a lot more than welfare for poor people. repeal the sequester 80% of the bush tax cuts were made permanent. author of "all you can eat," joel berg. thank you again for your time and your tireless work in getting out the word about this real and manufactured american crisis. pleasure to have you back. >> thank you. >> john: we wrap up our week of wtf alabama with nullification. i thought we settled that like 150 years ago. >> jack, how old are you? >> nine. >> this is what 27 tons of marijuana looks like. (vo) with award winning documentaries that take you inside the headlines, way inside.
5:28 pm
(vo) from the underworld, to the world of privilege. >> everyone in michael jackson's life was out to use him. (vo) no one brings you more documentaries that are real, gripping, current.

fuffles plaguing the
administration all week, it has been like christmas for the tea party. in the springtime holiday spirit, we want to wish happy holidays to the tea party and not just because they've been taught to despise that phrase. joining me now to hand out the presents is the great man himself, santa claus. hey, santa say hi to the kids. >> hi, john. hi kids. >> john: cringle, you seem a little down. >> does this suit make me look fat? >> john: no, it looks like you ignored michelle
's fitness advice. >> i still look better than limbaugh. >> john: you brought a lot of presents for the tea party this week. >> mostly gift certificates after the sequester, i had to lay off some of the elves. >> john: our first tea party christmas present is the
5:57 pm
smattering of credibility the i.r.s. investigation into the tax status of tea party groups has given the tea party. that's a really nice gift of you, santa. >> it is really a gift from the white house. >> john: for the tea party that credibility is the equivalent of the red ryder 200 shot rifle that ralphy got in "a christmas story." >> hey, they can easily buy that at any gun show with no background check. >> john: who can't? what else, santa? our next christmas present, this one's not quite as cool. this is the scandalous d.o.j. surveillance of the a.p. it is a nice gift for the
herit but the tea party doesn't care about journalists so this is basically the socks and underwear version of a tea party christmas present. >> it might be a real
but the republicans can't raise any money off so it is a white elephant gift. >> john: i know what the next one is. this is a special one. the tea party loves it. this is the gift of benghazi, the gift that keeps on giving.
5:58 pm
let's see. oh, wait a second. santa, this isn't benghazi. these are just those e-mails that jake tapper uncovered that show the white house messages in their original accurate form. this is a crappy
tea party present. >> yeah but they still get to exploit four american deaths for cheap political gain so that's all they ask for. >> john: i like how you think santa. the tea party is going to love this next one. this is the suffering the american people are going to have to experience because of the obsessive focus on these scandals over the next three years will prevent any effective legislation from happening in america. no jobs bill no immigration reform, no gun safety reform. the g.o.p. congress won't have to do any work. >> well, that's what john boehner asked for in his chardonnay. >> john: yep it is right. it is a bunch of holiday dvds in a box that is specially re-edited for the tea party. it features a new a christmas carol with tiny tim dying and a
5:59 pm
dvd of it's a wonderful life where george bailey jumps off the bridge to his death and pottersville becomes incorporated with no government regulation. >> wait, so the tea party likes it when heroes die in the end of christmas movies? >> john: not always. this has the version of frosty the snowman where frosty lives forever and never melts because global warming is a myth made up by the scientific community. >> i have to get going. my zz top tribute band has a gig tonight. >> john: this is for you santa. thank you for coming by. merry christmas to all in the tea party and to all, a good teabagging. >> joy: tonight, o.j. simpson is back in court looking 50 pounds heavier. remember when it was the good ole days when it was just the gloves that didn't fit? plus i'll speak with twisted
6:00 pm
sister frontman dee snider and one of my all-time favorite comedians is here, the one and only colin quinn. all of that and more tonight. >> joy: last time i saw

Stars: Ellen MacNevin, Sage Brocklebank, Johannah Newmarch, Steve Richmond, Connor Fielding | Written by Kevin Mosley | Directed by Jeffrey Scott Lando
It would seem I have a love/hate relationship with the work of director Jeffrey Lando. On the one hand he has helmed fantastic direct to DVD movies such as Insecticidal (yes I really rather enjoyed that – even if Lando himself has a little disdain for it on his official blog), but on the other he was the director on House of Bones, a film whose ending, at the time, frustrated me to no end. But that was five years ago and since then we'd had a slew of TV movies from Lando, including the superb Syfy channel horror movie Goblin: an underrated gem that didn't really achieve the same dizzy heights of success as those "other" Syfy monster movies!
Lando's latest, Suspension, is a »

You might have seen your birthday party reflected in their gleaming surfaces once upon a time. As they sang, their glazed eyes may have caught your own lively ones, and perhaps you noticed a little life in the pupils of the animatronic animal on stage. In the Five Nights at Freddy's video game, those robotic performers walk and kill at night, and Warner Bros. has taken notice of this creepy premise, as they have acquired the adaptation rights to the popular survival horror game. In our latest round-up, we also take a look at the release information for Arrow Video's Blu-ray / DVD of 1980's Contamination.

text: FORRETRESS DIALGA ARCEUS GHOST LATIAS KYOGRE HIPPOWDON This team does not have a lot of history, but has beaten many mighty players like donkey, syrim, and trickroom. This team is capable of applying a lot of pressure to standard offense and defensive playstyles. Offensive playstyles often cannot handle the fast hazards from Forretress and the combined pressure of two offensive Calm Mind users. Defensive teams crumble to Choice Specs Dialga in tandem with hazards; 252 HP Arceus is 2HKOed by Dragon Pulse and even those that invest in Special Defense cannot avoid the 2HKO with normal poison damage unless they are Steel Arceus. ~Sets~ (ps: I might lie about EV spreads) Forretress Forretress (F) @ Custap Berry Trait: Sturdy EVs: 252 Atk Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd) - Gyro Ball - Spikes - Toxic Spikes - Rapid Spin IVs: 0 HP / 0 Def / 0 SDef / 0 Spe This is my lead more often than not. The miracle of Custap Forretress will become apparent when in about 80% of your matchups you can get a layer of Toxic Spikes and a layer of Spikes with no hassle. Your standard Deoxys-S pisses itself in fear after being taken down to its Focus Sash by full-powered Gyro Ball as it uses Taunt. The IVs are so that Fire Punch Deoxys puts you into Custap Berry range, as opposed to doing like 60% and making me furious. Reshiram and Kyurem-W leads beat me outright, but Kyogre absorbs their assaults easily, especially with no hazards. The advantage of having Spikes and Toxic Spikes down immediately are huge, offensive teams are extremely gimped by the constant poison damage, and I have the defensive core to switch around or stall Pokemon out with recovery moves. Against defensive teams the advantage is not as immediately apparent, but when you realise I have four Pokemon which call for a lot of predictable switches the residual damage is vital in getting the upperhand. Funnily enough, I will also lead with this in the face of a likely Mewtwo or Rayquaza lead, eschewing one layer if they choose to attack immediately so I can Gyro Ball them. Should they choose to set up they will be met with a 2HKO. Savvy Rayquazas will know to ExtremeSpeed me after Sturdy has been activated, but it's a 50/50 and you can always switch out to Ghost Arceus to preserve Custap Berry. Sometimes it is wise to preserve Forretress, especially if you can get it into Custap Berry range by switching it into hazards later, it's a great last minute check to stuff like CM Mewtwo and DD Rayquaza which my team occasionally struggles with. Dialga Dialga @ Choice Specs Trait: Pressure EVs: 144 HP / 252 SAtk / 112 Spd Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Draco Meteor - Dragon Pulse - Thunder - Fire Blast The big Kahuna. Probably my favourite Dialga set of all time, it is probably the most hazard resistant choice user in the tier, and is capable of dishing out massive damage. Fire Blast deals upwards of 80% to specially defensive Ferrothorn in rain, Draco Meteor 2HKOes standard tank Ho-Oh WITHOUT Stealth Rock (more of an illustrative than a practical example, as Regenerator Ho-Oh can still switch into Draco Meteors without Stealth Rock). Not much prediction is really needed with this set, just weigh up what can switch into the move you decide, i.e., don't use a move that could leave you in a situation wherein the team cannot handle a switch in that can take the move. This means that 90% of the time you'll be fine using a Dragon move; Steel Arceus can't handle Kyogre, Ferrothorn is set up bait, Chansey and Blissey are set up bait, Excadrill takes waaaaaaaaay too much damage. Another cool thing to do to preserve hazards is to break opposing Forretress's Sturdy with Ghost Arceus, then switch immediately to Dialga and use Thunder: 66.38 - 78.24%, saving you the trouble of having to engage Toxic Forretress in a painful battle with Ghost Arceus. Choice Specs Dialga usually has no trouble crushing defensive teams, common switch-ins, such as Grass Arceus in rain, Skarmory, Ferrothorn, Specially Defensive Kyogre can either be taken out with the right prediction, or simply keel over to the insane damage output. Standard Ubers Skarmory takes Draco Meteors worse than Close Combats, suffering from a massive 61.97 – 72.75% damage, a clean 2HKO. 144 SpD Timid Arceus Grass takes 45.94 – 54.27% from Dragon Pulse, making it unable to stall out Dialga when inflicted with normal poison. Specially Defensive Kyogre is easily 2HKOed by Thunder and 3HKOed by Dragon Pulse, making it an iffy switch in at best. Ferrothorn is roasted by Fire Blast regardless of weather, and can be set up on by Forretress. The EVs are just speed-creep with bulk, I usually invest a fair amount to beat out Earth Plate and support Groudons (252/0 Groudon is OHKOed by Specs Draco Meteor), tank Ho-Ohs, support Dialgas, etc. Arceus-Ghost Arceus-Ghost @ Spooky Plate Trait: Multitype EVs: 96 HP / 236 SAtk / 176 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Calm Mind - Focus Blast - Judgment - Recover Your standard spinblocking CM Arceus-Ghost with a few EV tweaks. The difference in bulk is quite minimal, whereas the boost in damage output is huge. Specially Defensive Kyogre and standard Ubers Ferrothorn have much more difficulty checking this beast. Aside from spinblocking, Arceus-Ghost is very important in applying pressure to offensive teams, as it is almost impossible for them to check. It is also a semi-reliable check to Latias, outspeeding it and being able to beat it in a CM war most of the time. Arceus-Ghost also somewhat alleviates the pressure of ExtremeKiller from Hippowdon. If I see the opposing team is weak to CM Arceus Ghost I will not hesitate to lead with it and set up. Latias Latias (F) @ Soul Dew Trait: Levitate EVs: 172 HP / 144 SAtk / 192 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Dragon Pulse - Thunder - Recover - Calm Mind My Kyogre check and second offensive CMer. I was tempted by the all-out attacker set, but needed Latias to reliably beat CM Grass and Electric Arceus. Usually throwing out Thunders early is better to catch over-eager Genesect and fish for paralysis. I only aim to outspeed Garchomp because I like having some bulk and power on my Latias. It is also interesting to note that 4/0 Ho-Oh is 2HKOed by Dragon Pulse + Thunder. Of course, Ferrothorn is a complete stop to this set, but as it is complete set up bait for dual hazard Forretress this doesn't really worry me. Kyogre Kyogre @ Leftovers Trait: Drizzle EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk) - Scald - Roar - Rest - Sleep Talk Kyogre serves a lot of roles on this team, beyond simple weather control and 100% accurate Thunders it provides a valuable pivot and status absorber. Most CM Arceus are stopped cold and phazed out, Ferrothorn risks a 51% chance to be burned in two Scalds (which is great to spam), making it much easier to handle. Roar is great to shuffle on obvious switches, and is capable of getting Palkia poisoned on the switch in, only to have it phazed out immediately. Speaking of Palkia, Choice Scarf barely ekes out 50% with Thunder, making staying in on it to Rest a viable option. Overzealous Scarf Palkia using Fire Blast or Spacial Rend will actually find themselves walled and slowly dying to poison damage. Hippowdon Hippowdon (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Sand Stream EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Stealth Rock - Earthquake - Slack Off - Whirlwind The first thing that probably jumps out at you is the choice of Sand Stream over Sand Force. There are many reasons for this: Kabutops can no longer 2HKO Hippowdon with Waterfall, Ho-Oh becomes a breeze to handle (although the burn is annoying), and I have a way of slowing down Kingdra, which is actually very threatening. Other than that, Hippowdon serves a very important role on this team, walling Groudon, physical Zekrom, ExtremeKiller, and being the only Electric-type immunity. Hippowdon was chosen over Groudon mainly because Ho-Oh would be too much of an asshole otherwise, but the reliable recovery is also very nice. Being able to switch into Ho-Oh and Groudon to set up Stealth Rock is also a great asset. I will also switch Hippowdon fearlessly into Ferrothorn because Power Whip is only a 3HKO. Using Hippowdon requires you to be aware of the fact that should Hippowdon be caught out by a stray critical hit or surprise mix set it will very rarely have the opportunity to heal itself back up unless it used Slack Off on that turn. Being so slow means that there are very few opposing Pokemon that Hippowdon can heal back in front of when in critical HP. Threatlist How do you guys even do a comprehensive one of these lol. Mewtwo can be annoying but Latias + Ghost Arceus is enough, even though one of them might die in the process. Ideally I can use Forretress to weaken it sufficiently then finish it off later. Expert Belt or Lustrous Palkia can 2HKO everything on this team but Latias outspeeds it so it can't outright sweep me. As I don't have anything over (effectively) 111 base Speed anything that is faster or can boost to be faster has the potential to be annoying. Conclusion shoutout to my homies, you know who you are. importable (Move your mouse to reveal the content) importable (open) importable (close) Forretress (F) @ Custap Berry Trait: Sturdy EVs: 252 Atk Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd) - Gyro Ball - Spikes - Toxic Spikes - Rapid Spin Dialga @ Choice Specs Trait: Pressure EVs: 144 HP / 252 SAtk / 112 Spd Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Draco Meteor - Dragon Pulse - Thunder - Fire Blast Arceus-Ghost @ Spooky Plate Trait: Multitype EVs: 96 HP / 236 SAtk / 176 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Calm Mind - Focus Blast - Judgment - Recover Latias (F) @ Soul Dew Trait: Levitate EVs: 172 HP / 144 SAtk / 192 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Dragon Pulse - Thunder - Recover - Calm Mind Kyogre @ Leftovers Trait: Drizzle EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk) - Scald - Roar - Rest - Sleep Talk Hippowdon (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Sand Stream EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Stealth Rock - Earthquake - Slack Off - Whirlwind don't forget to set Forretress's IVs!

John Calipari talks tourney, UK fans and ABBA
If he wasn't focusing on the NCAA tournament, you would have to wonder whether University of Kentucky coach John Calipari would be flying to New York on Monday to watch ABBA's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Yep, ABBA.
"I don't know why, but I love them," Calipari said Monday morning.
ABBA (the four-member Swedish hit machine with catchy songs such as "Dancing Queen" and "Knowing Me Knowing You"), Genesis and The Hollies are among the groups being inducted this year.
Calipari took time out of preparing his team for its first-round game Thursday to talk music, and he helped set up and break down Page 2's music bracket from music in his era of the late '70s to early '80s.
The left side of the bracket had Journey defeating Styx, and Fleetwood Mac defeating Lynyrd Skynyrd. The right side of the bracket had Kiss beating Alice Cooper and ABBA topping Black Sabbath.
Then Journey beat Fleetwood Mac and ABBA beat Kiss in the semifinals.
"In the championship game, it'll go overtime," Calipari said, "and ABBA would hit a half-court shot at the last second to beat Journey by one point."
What a great ending, John.
You'd think that Calipari would be more stressed this week as he tries to win a championship in his first year at Kentucky.
"I'm having a great time. Come on. If you're nuts about basketball, take a vacation this week," said Calipari, who called promoting the Mega March Madness on DIRECTV, which allows people to watch games outside their region. "Sit at home, crack open a couple of beers, eat pizza and watch the madness unfold. Remember, anyone can advance."
And what about those diehard UK fans who want to see a championship?
"Look, what's the worst thing that can happen to me? Get fired? I've been fired before," said Calipari, who previously coached at Memphis, Massachusetts and the NBA. "I know people here in Kentucky want to win national titles. I'm not immune to that. They want it all. I just want us to be in the conversation for the championship."

Sired by Classic Rock and Modern Metal ancestors, Tattermask of Charlotte, NC, commingles melodic relics of Ozzy Osbourne, Led Zeppelin, Boston, and Whitesnake with modern riffage akin to Alter Bridge, Disturbed, Evanescence and Sevendust to forge a fresh sound in the mire of mainstream active rock. Driven by dual lead guitarists Josh Wright and Travis Dry; powered by tight, expressive rhythms from Adam Blackmon on drums and Harley Quinn on bass; and garnished with vocals from Amanda Caines that go from Pat Benatar to Adele to Evanescence at the drop of a hat, sonic variety is the ultimate goal of Tattermask's catalogue of original tunes.
"A top, top band. Every track is well constructed and is built by layers upon layers of solid riffs, thunderous drums and those damn good, addictive vocals." - Dave, Loud-Stuff.com
Anticipation builds among fans and media for the February 24, 2015 release of the band's Carpe Noctem EP, recorded with producer/engineer Cory Plaugh (Weaving The Fate, Crossfade). Listeners from Finland to Japan to Australia enjoy the band's singles "No More" and "Asylum" on Spotify, iTunes, and a variety of radio outlets, while audiences across the Southeastern United States rave about the on-stage energy and party atmosphere of Tattermask's live shows.
"I have listened to the band many times since I started The Pit Unsigned, but being able to see them live brought chill bumps to my arms.It was like finally getting to meet a band you really love to listen to, for the first time and being STARSTRUCK." - Brian Hatchell, The Pit Unsigned
Though Tattermask's claim to fame on their home turf is their knack for putting on creatively themed party shows, the band is no stranger to charitable causes and often donates performances to environmental charity shows, cancer victim benefit shows, and other philanthropy events. The band even organizes its own annual charity show called "Hooterfest" which features rock bands with at least one female member and benefits North Carolina-based Carolina Raptor Center's orphaned owlet fund.
Even some of the national and regional bands for whom Tattermask has been an opening act have paid the band unexpected post-show compliments, such as Righteous Vendetta, Taproot, Soil, Straight Line Stitch, Lacuna Coil, and Eye Empire. After the release of their EP, the band plans to take its live show on the road to meet new fans in the Southeast region of the U.S. and play some conferences and festivals in 2015.
Behind Tattermask's somewhat serious musical exterior lurks a silly side, which the band expresses through a series of ridiculous narrative webisodes on YouTube, Photoshop mash-ups on Facebook and Twitter, and Instagram photos of their off-stage antics. Fans who meet the band at a show or follow them on social media say the band's quirky personality leaves a lasting impression beyond the music itself.
"You can clearly tell that you are all a little close knit family on and off stage." --Aron Acosta, Tattermask fan
Tattermask invites hard rock fans, local music aficionados, and skeptics alike to give the band a chance to delight you at a live show or with a song or two on iTunes or Amazon. The band and their musical colleagues might just change some opinions about what unsigned music sounds like.

I know this is a bbpress template, but I'm not getting any help over on those forums...
I'm trying to make my forum look better on mobile devices. As it stands, if you look at a topic and it's replies, the avatars of the authors take up about half of the screen and the text is all scrunched over to the right.
I've switched the sizing to be 20% for the "bbp-reply-author" div and 80% for the bbp-reply-content div. (this is in loop-single-reply.php)
Anyways, the percentage spacing works great except that the avatars aren't responsive and don't shrink.
This is the line of code that controls it:
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '
', 'show_role' => true ) ); ?>
What can I replace that line with so that it will show the link and avatar but limit the size to maybe 30px?

The plugin shows the list on all pages. So, I have duplicated content. Useless for me...
I tried using with wordpress 3.7.1 and all it showed a links list in boxes. I have put a comment in the support few days ago, but it seems there is nobody there.
Would be nice and easy to handle, but why only 5 posts? I saw also a lot of questions regarding this question, but I didn't find an answer. So I will deinstall this plugin after this review.
Don't expect to get any help if you have a question. The response will be "read the documentation." The documentation is terrible. Very circular without any direct answers on how to do anything. Need to know php to fix the bugs within the display of the posts.

The Tri-State Exposition will be allowed to put a steel roof over livestock pens north of Amarillo National Center, 10 feet closer than fire code allows, as long as conditions are met.
The city of Amarillo's Construction Advisory and Appeals Board granted a variance Thursday to the fairgrounds for the $165,000 open-air roof over existing livestock holding pens, but it placed stipulations on the exposition's certificate of occupancy for the building to keep fire dangers from occurring in future years.
The provisions accepted were provided in a letter from variance applicant, Plains Builders Inc. They include a promise that no combustible materials, including hay, will be stored under the cattle cover at any time. Feed brought in for livestock will be enough for consumption, not for bedding.
The pens will be cleaned "as soon as practical" after the facility has been used, the letter said.
No walls can be added to the structure that would stretch lower than 12 feet above ground, and the facility will only be used as a livestock shelter and only in conjunction with fairgrounds events.
Repairs, such as those involving cutting or welding, must comply with fire codes, and can be performed only after all loose hay and feed is cleared from the pens, the letter said.
Fire code would have required the roof to be erected 40 feet north of Amarillo National Center.
But the pens already existed 30 feet to the north, and to move the roof to the required distance would leave some pens uncovered and would place structural supports in outdoor livestock bucket chutes.

Today's trick is about uninstall backtrack from your duel boot system. Here are some simple step that can be used to remove backtrack from your system .Yes you can'nt uninstall backtrack like other but you can remove it from window and bootloader.
BackTrack was a distribution based on the Debian GNU/Linux distribution aimed at digital forensics and penetration testing use. It was named after backtracking, a search algorithm. In March 2013 the Offensive Security team later replaced it with a successor product, Kali Linux.
While backtrack removing from windows you may lose MBR so it is necessary that
you should have a bootable windows disk or bootable window setup in your usb drive .
Here are the steps how to create a bootable windows setup in usb.
Now here are the steps to remove backtrack from windows system
- Click on start button, right click on computer and then press on manage .
- Go to disk management, there will be either one or two unknown partitions of drive
Their will be two partitions if backtrack is using a separate swap area otherwise there will be only one partition.
They will appear as unknown because Linux use ext file system and for windows they are unknown.
- Delete these backtrack partitions
Please Note that while deleting these partition your boot table may also get deleted.
Now Restart your system if window boot normally, if so then no need to go further.
Else if there is only a command prompt grub rescue then proceed as guided further.
So make sure that you have bootable disk or have an bootable image in your usb drive.
- Boot your system with bootable window disk or bootable window usb disk.
- Now click on repair your computer
- Goto command prompt and execute the commands as shown after this image
- First command is to fix MBR And Second Is For Fix Boot
bootrec.exe /fixMBR
bootrec.exe /fixBoot
- Third Command is optional bootrec.exe /ScanOs, Don'nt worry if it return 0.
- Restart your system Try this and I will appreciate your feedback regarding this post.
Good Luck And Thanks for listening .
Have a nice day.

Jax Cafe: A Nordeast institution
"I think you'll have a better shot on the other side," the manager coached, pointing across the stream and passing me a long-handled net. "They like to hide under the water wheel." And that's how I found myself in Jax's backyard patio, leaping across to the flagstone-lined stream's opposite bank, crouching in some bushes, and peering into the inky water. A couple of shadowy trout darted out from under the churning wheel. I plunged my net in after them, feeling the heady rush of the hunt—and maybe a little too old for all this. But where else could a grownup catch her own dinner in the middle of northeast Minneapolis?
Even in such contrived circumstances, I didn't fare so well as a hunter-gatherer. First, the net got stuck under the wheel. Then, it took the help of two people—my dad and then our waitress—to get the net unstuck before the manager finally scooped up my supper. The waitress snapped a photo of me, my parents, and the still-thrashing fish.
Jax Cafe has been preserving memories since 1933, and after 75 years in business it's believed to be the longest-running family-owned restaurant in the state—or at least the most notable one. When Prohibition ended, Jax Bar and Cafe acquired the city's second liquor license and opened in the space where the restaurant's main bar is today. Over the years, the business passed through three more generations and expanded to become a multistory complex with several dining and banquet rooms lavishly appointed with patterned carpets and stained-glass windows.
Jax Cafe was the first local restaurant, its owners say, to keep live lobsters in saltwater tanks, to open an outdoor patio, and to send buses to Minnesota Gopher games. Bill Kozlak Jr., who took over the business from his parents in 2001, says that on game days in the 1950s, Jax would serve 600 people for lunch and then send 21 buses to an afternoon game. When the buses returned, Jax would already be filling with wedding guests, so Bill Sr. would get on the phone and help the football fans make dinner reservations at other neighborhood restaurants. In its heyday, Jax was the clubhouse of northeast Minneapolis's burgeoning business class. A dinner reservation—for steak and a Golden Cadillac—meant you were a hard-working fellow who had made something of himself.
In 75 years—"That's 400 in restaurant years," Kozlak jokes—the place has hosted celebrations for all sorts of rites of passage, from prom dates to weddings, including Kozlak's own (he met his wife when she worked at Jax as a server). "My dad says that sometimes he'll be shaking hands with a successful businessman and it'll seem like just yesterday he was putting him in a highchair," Kozlak says. One generation might be celebrating its anniversary at Jax, the second its wedding, and the third its post-baptism luncheon.
How old is Jax? Consider this: When the place first opened, a glass of buttermilk cost a nickel; fresh Wisconsin frog legs were $1.50; and a tenderloin steak with salad, beverage, toast, and choice of potato set you back a buck sixty-five. The cocktail list included Sazaracs and Singapore Slings.
Yet, in many ways, Jax's patio still feels like it probably did decades ago: a leafy haven for celebrating life's milestones and enjoying its successes. When I was there a few weeks ago, the table next to me had assembled for some sort of birthday or retirement party. The guest of honor, who wore a U of M baseball cap (one of his gifts), was approached by an acquaintance dressed in sockless penny loafers and a Hawaiian-type shirt with a pattern of cocktail glasses. The two swapped stories for several minutes—"My brother graduated from Washburn in '56," one said as "Summertime" and "Cheek to Cheek" played on the stereo and cigar smoke drifted past. I watched a woman ask a stranger to snap her group's photo in front of the stream. "Just take it from the waist up," she requested. No one was getting any younger.
Jax is so old-school it starts serving dinner at 3:30 p.m. If you order from the early-bird menu, the meals cost about 15 bucks. (I'd recommend the zippy meatloaf with garlicky mashed potatoes, or the Polish dinner, which comes with buttery pierogi, sauerkraut, and a juicy sausage whose perfectly seared skin practically pops when your teeth snap through it.)
Jax's food seems straight out of a vintage copy of Betty Crocker's Easy Entertaining: prime rib, shrimp cocktail, chicken Chardonnay, broiled Parmesan-topped tomato, hash browns, and a steak-house iceberg wedge with blue-cheese dressing. "Sriracha aioli" is the lone trendy phrase on the entire menu. If I were prejudiced against such traditional foods—and sometimes I am—I might complain about them being mushy, overcooked, and indistinct. But at Jax, I was surprised to find the shrimp toast paired with a dipping sauce that was actually spicy, trout so lightly cooked as to seem almost sushi-like, and a side of fresh veggies with an al dente crunch.
Jax's kitchen excels with one-pot dishes that sit on the stove and simmer, such as chicken noodle soup and clam chowder; or short ribs that glisten with fat, their pudding-soft meat infused with a deep, winy flavor (but garnished with fried carrot curls to give the dish a modern touch). But Jax's lighter, more summery fare works just as well. The house salad—Romaine lettuce tossed with creamy garlic dressing, strands of Parmesan, homemade croutons, and cracked pepper—is a plain and simple pleasure. As is the lemony, poppy seed-studded shortcake with an expert crumb that's piled with whipped cream and ripe berries. I'd almost call it Grandma's food—though mine never cooks whole lobster.
Jax is known mostly as a steak place, and its signature cut is the bone-in tenderloin, a more flavorful version of the typical filet mignon. It's sprinkled with Jax seasoned salt (think Lawry's), topped with a mushroom cap, and served with a foil-wrapped baked potato. It's the quintessential meal of American luxury from the blissful days before the words "carbs" and "cholesterol" pervaded the popular lexicon.
Decades ago, everyone said Jax would die off along with its blue-haired clientele, but Kozlak notes that aging generations keep replacing those that depart. The place has beaten back blows that have crushed lesser restaurateurs: the demise of the three-martini business lunch, the citywide smoking ban (though, thankfully, Jax still gives out those cute little personalized matchbooks if you give your names when you make a reservation). In fact, as Northeast's housing stock turns over, Kozlak says the Jax crowd has even started to get younger.
Yet while the city has seen its share of old-school joints invaded by hipsters (Nye's Polonaise), and retro concepts reborn as new ones (Psycho Suzi's), Jax has remained blessedly untrendy, which may be part of the secret to its success. The food's not complicated, but it's consistent. And the restaurant's friendly, family-run mentality continues to make it the sort of place that might retire a waitress with 40-some years of service. Kozlak sticks with what he knows: plain, honest fare for just such folk. "We never try to be anything but what we are," he says. And that's just the way we like it.
Jax is hosting an open house on Sunday, September 21, from 4 to 6 p.m., in honor of its 75th anniversary. RSVP by September 14 to [email protected] or 612.789.7297.

Darryl Geddes 315 464-4828
Bonnie St. Andrews, Ph.D., Distinguished Teaching Professor at SUNY Upstate, dies at 58
Bonnie A. St. Andrews, Ph.D., Distinguished Teaching Professor of Bioethics and Humanities at SUNY Upstate Medical University, died Oct. 21 at her in home Syracuse from a brain tumor. She was 58.
St. Andrews was an accomplished poet whose works were published in The New Yorker, The Paris Review, JAMA, The Georgia Review, Commonweal and Virginia Quarterly. She was founding editor of The Healing Muse, SUNY Upstate's journal of literary and visual arts, which recently published its third edition. Her new collection of poems, "Learning from Renoir", will be published in November by Wells College Press.
She often explored medical issues in her writing. In "Songram," for example, St. Andrews likens a fetal ultrasound to "a camera… exploring amniotic seas." Her poems celebrated the courage of patients and practitioners in medical circumstances ranging from open heart surgery to resuscitation to MRIs.
St. Andrews also developed Kids in Art, an art therapy program for pediatric oncology patients at University Hospital.
St. Andrews received numerous accolades during her 23-year teaching career at SUNY Upstate. She received the highest academic honor from the State University of New York when she was named a Distinguished Teaching Professor in 1997 and won the SUNY Upstate President's Award for Excellence in Teaching in 1992.
St. Andrews received a bachelor's degree from St. Lawrence University, and master's and doctoral degrees from Syracuse University.
She is survived by her partner of 27 years, Deirdre Neilen, Ph.D., associate professor of bioethics and humanities at SUNY Upstate; her mother, Anne St. Andrews of Ogdensburg, N.Y., two sisters and a brother.

I wanted to know how to make SVG from a raster picture in Inkscape. I am in Wikipedia which uses lot of SVG's so I want to make a few. I know how to track those PNG and export the bitmap results as high resolution, take for example 2000x2000 pixels. But the problem is my SVF's get pixelated at low-resolutions that is concentrated, otherwise they are good. Plus how to set nominal resolution?
I use Inkscape to trace
I export the bitmaps at high-res (2000px)
Save them as Inkscape SVGs.

Product Description
About This Book
This concise volume seeks to address the silent void that university students embarking on mathematical coursework inevitably face: How does one apply ideas, concepts, and theory to story problems that at first seem intractable? We pay equal attention to the abstract aspects of problem solving as well as the practical. We discuss common misperceptions of ability and pay close attention to the attitudes and habits employed by successful problem solvers. We reveal problem solving as both achievable and fun, and illustrate these themes with specific examples and stories throughout the text. We also enumerate simple, executable steps that can be implemented when faced with virtually any new problem: understand the problem; draw a picture; define variables; be consistent; utilize principles. Far from trivial, these steps often lead novice problem solvers to error. In sum, we hope you find this charming work to be an indispensable guide on your journey and an effective means to improving and maturing your problem-solving capabilities.

As the trend towards greater adoption and usage of open source expands, Wikibon looks at how open source software and public cloud are reshaping the business models of VCs, Startups, Enterprise IT vendors and Cloud Providers.
HPE visited theCUBE for a conversation about IoT edge processing. We excerpt that conversation, adding our insights into evolving IoT architectures.
Next generation datacenters with all-flash for active data will require much higher performance system networks. These networks will need to be integrated into converged systems, and be completely separate from long-distance networks.
The software, hardware, and professional services markets for big data are still in formative stages, with packaged applications emerging only slowly. But the demand for solutions is sufficiently large and growing fast enough to support a number of large vendors with a variety of packaging and go-to-market approaches. Users should identify their big data starting point -- services, application platforms, or converged infrastructure -- and establish the strategic relationships they need to progress with big data investments.
Wikibon looks at several examples of IT organizations that are actively engaged with open source software communities to help evolve how their business undergoes a digital transformation.

Based on market conditions that we have observed over the past year and the recent public cloud revenue results of Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, and IBM, we expect that public cloud spending will continue to accelerate rapidly, growing from $75B in 2015 to $522B by 2026 (19% CAGR). Each public cloud segment will have rapid growth rates: SaaS (19% CAGR), PaaS (33% CAGR), and IaaS (18% CAGR) during this period. How big will public cloud be? By 2026, cloud will account for nearly 50% of spending related to enterprise hardware, software, and outsourcing services.
Leading CIOs are changing the way they communicate to their boards about cyber security by emphasizing response, not infiltration. Rather than solely focusing on how to thwart penetration, CIOs are treating cyber security as an integral part of business/service continuity and risk management agendas, with a priority on rapidly responding to critical breaches. This research note is based on data gathered through proprietary social analytics, extensive collaboration with CIOs, CTOs, CISOs and business executives; and is designed to assist CIOs in advancing security agendas with boards of directors.

Band history still to come.
More Reviews Current Updates Print article Rating explanation
The first eleven songs on this re-hashed best of compilation from the once veritable QUEENSRYCHE shows just why, in their heyday of the 80ĺs and early 90ĺs, that these Americans where a consistent, impressive and influential Metal and Hard Rock band. The remaining five tracks allude to a band utterly lost; on a road to madness.
Few bands have fallen as hard as QUEENSRYCHE and in 2007 they seem more focused than ever to re-cover old glories, milking whatĺs left of a rich heritage. After all this best of collection is remarkably similar to the one that was released seven years ago and in that time only two studio albums have the seen the light of day 2003ĺs ĹĺThe Tribeĺĺ and 2006ĺs ĹĺOperation Mindcrime IIĺĺ both have struggled to maintain the momentum from the earlier years. However since 2000 we have been treated to a myriad of Mindcrime related products all reflecting the past and stubbornly refusing to ignore the big flashing sign saying give it up!
Of course when it comes to pseudo Prog Metal meanderings QUEENSRYCHE are right up there with the mighty IRON MAIDEN. Itĺs not hard to hear the twin guitar, riff heavy guitars and ever-so-slightly operatic vocal influence from Britainĺs finest but from the outset QUEENSRYCHE quickly developed an original sound that garnered the term Ĺĺthinking manĺs Metalĺĺ True their music was highly technical but sourced with a rich vein of Melody that gave the band a head start. Both ĹĺĺWalk In The Shadowsĺĺ and ĹĺTake Hold Of The Flameĺĺ from ĹĺRage To Orderĺĺ and ĹĺThe Warningĺĺ albums are so infectious they could lead to hospitalisation. ĹĺQueen Of The Reichĺĺ and ĹĺThe Lady Wore Blackĺĺ are the embryonic sounds of a strong Heavy Metal band thriving on confidence, finding there feet and sitting somewhere between MAIDEN and RUSH. Naturally that album is represented by itĺs strongest cuts the driving riff of ĹĺI Donĺt Believe In Loveĺĺ and the gargantuan Melodic popularity of the immense ĹĺEyes Of A Strangerĺĺ The follow up to Ĺĺ Operation Mindcrimeĺĺ the multi-platinum ĹĺEmpireĺĺ is represented by the choice Melodic infusion of ĹĺJet City Womenĺĺ and ĹĺAnother Rainy Night (Without You)ĺĺ and the guilty pleasure of ĹĺSilent Lucidityĺĺ the omission of ĹĺEmpireĺĺ is incredulous but this was the sound of a new, polished up market QUEENSRYCHE who had shed the Prog and Metal tag in one swoop and where fast becoming a straight laced Melodic Rock band. The last album before the fall 1994ĺs ĹĺPromised Landĺĺ continues the Hard Rock vision and even though the band where on the wane the acoustic reverie of the excellent ĹĺBridgeĺĺ and the laid back catchiness of ĹĺI Am Iĺĺ gave the band one last stand in the limelight.
Iĺm afraid after that I lost interest and QUEENSRYCHE lost focus. Theyĺve yet to regain it. But if you want to hear why such a fuss was made of this unique band then this CD could well unlock an interest just donĺt expect the same quality from latter records.

Caution spoilers.
Story: The story in another is very good but can be confusing at times. The fact that another student (hence the name of the anime which I thought was clever) was in the class and that the rest of the students would die every so often just by acknowledging that there was an extra student in the class was a pretty cool idea, it kept you on the edge of your seat wondering who will die next. But was annoying when there's a character who you thought would be a main character ends up dying like early on and makes you think, well crap that was disapointing. And the ending went a bit weird; like how it was kouchi's aunt who was the extra person (kouichi is the main male protagonist). It would have better if it was someone like izumi was the extra student or Teshigawara or even kouichi himself, but none the less the crazy blood bath battle at the end between the students was a very nice touch.
Animation: The Animation is beautifully designed, especially the gruesome deaths. And makes you cringe because they were so horrific, and the amount of blood from each death was crazy. P.A. Works which is the studio that did another has also done Angle Beats, Tari Tari, True tears and is known to be good with the animation. But maybe it was a bit much not that it's a problem, but they really went all out to make the characters die as horrifically as possible which I personally love.
Sound: The opening is very fitting for the anime it was mysterious and dark, which fits the anime to a t. the ending theme is also good not as good as the opening, but still suits the anime. I've watched the anime in dubbed and subbed. The voices in dubbed were ok some of them didn't fit their characters but there were 1 or 2 voices you would recognise. The subbed version I personally think was better for the voices, but if you don't like reading subtitles or you're not good at reading just stick to the dubbed it's not really that much different.
Characters: They didn't use a wide range of character personalities, but at least they were interesting. I liked the relationship kouichi shared with the students especially with Mei, but honestly there's not much to say about the characters except that Mei was probably the most interesting.
Overall: Another is a really good anime and I highly recommend it to them who really love horror anime's like myself, deffinitely try it out.
