Bad day for Noel Kahn. Good day for elephants.
Toby: "Oh my God, Noel Kahn!"
Spencer: "Holy shit, we must save him!"
Jenna: "Wait, what's going on? Oh. Yawn."
Three odd responses to Noel Kahn's demise, no? Anyway, it was just a big old joke, and a demon face pops out of Noel Kahn's chest and everybody is like, "Cool joke, bro." It's embarrassing for everybody. Noel Kahn, you don't need to beg for attention like this. You're wonderful just as you are, and you deserve respect. Now go take off that ridiculous getup, put on your slutty cat costume, and twerk it.

He sings his gay vampire pirate song. It's very glamorous. There's a line about shaking off the straitjacket that seems like a pun on "straight" but maybe I'm just putting too much thought into it. The second song he sings is about how drugs induced in him an experience not unlike alien abduction in which cosmic information was downloaded into his brain, I think, so maybe not. He sings the entire song. It takes like a hour.

I just bought a iPhone 3GS. I also own a iPhone 1st Gen.
I want to restore my 3GS with content that was previously on my 1st Gen, but I am having difficulty with performing a backup with my 1st Gen on iTunes. The backup process is very very very slow and it looked as though it's stuck there. I do not have any previous working backup on my iTunes due to this reason.
Now, I would like to know whether is there any manual method that I can extract the SMS database from my 1stGen and subsequently upload it to my new 3GS via either iTunes or manually.
I would really appreciate if anyone can help me on this.

Eagles Licking Wounds After Falling
"We've got a lot more film to watch for it," linebacker Jeremiah Trotter said.
At least that's how some of the rationalization went following Sunday's 24-0 clobbering at Dallas -- the first time the division champion Cowboys have ever produced regular-season back-to-back shutout efforts.
The swirling NFC playoff picture settled enough Sunday to determine that the Cowboys will play host to the Eagles in the wild-card round Saturday at 8 PM ET. And that means a whole lot of things to Philadelphia: revenge, atonement, a gut check.
"I can't wait to play these guys again," said Eagles tight end Brent Celek, whose seven catches for 97 yards were the best single superlative Philadelphia had to offer. "After what they just did to us? I want to come back here. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else."
Philadelphia (11-5) could have entered the postseason on a seven-game winning streak. But an all-too familiar opponent played spoiler and ruined six weeks' worth of growth and momentum. That left the Eagles to ponder numerous theories why Dallas (11-5) has owned them this season, winning both regular-season meetings and limiting Donovan McNabb's prolific offense to 16 total points.
Once viewed as the hottest team in the conference, Philly's Week 17 flop was all-encompassing. The offense had three of its 11 drives end in negative yardage. The longest drive, a 61-yard trek in the second quarter, ended in a botched and lost snap at the Cowboys' 14-yard line.
The Eagles' seventh-ranked defense ran into a Cowboys' buzz saw on offense, one that chewed them up on the ground (179 yards) and spit out 474 total yards. With little or no blitzing to stop him, Dallas quarterback Tony Romo completed 24 of 34 passes for 311 yards and two touchdowns. The Eagles did nothing with his first quarter tipped-ball interception.
"We just didn't take advantage of our opportunities," said Philly cornerback Asante Samuel, who got his hand on that errant Romo pass intended for Patrick Crayton (four catches, 99 yards, one touchdown).
Was this humbling? A wake-up call? It was every bit of that and more. And the Eagles have six days to fix and/or disguise what the Cowboys clearly have mastered regarding the way they play football this season.
"It is a humbling experience," said McNabb, who completed 20 of 36 passes for 223 yards, threw no touchdowns and took responsibility for the fumbled snap just before halftime that the Cowboys converted into a 44-yard Shaun Suisham field goal. He also was sacked four times.
The winning streak may have left many of the Eagles' younger, emerging stars thinking they were untouchable. It certainly perpetuated a sense that Philadelphia was the most dangerous NFC team in the playoff race.
Instead, Dallas controlled the clock, 40 minutes, 23 seconds to Philadelphia's 19:37. The Cowboys dominated at the line of scrimmage, limited dangerous receiver/return man DeSean Jackson to 26 total return yards and 47 receiving yards, and controlled the game virtually from the opening kickoff.
"We showed our youth," McNabb said. "We showed our youth in situations where everybody began to look around and see who was going to make the play, instead of stepping up and making that play."
While coach Andy Reid seemed content to give credit to the Cowboys for completely whipping his team – "I think they out-played us in a lot of spots and out-coached us," he said – both Eagles coordinators vowed to spend the short week shoring up everything that has gone wrong in the previous two meetings with Dallas.
"I'm most disappointed in myself right now," defensive coordinator Sean McDermott said. "I mean, we've got to come back here in this same locker room, in this same stadium, and have a better plan, No. 1. Out-coach them and out-play them."
Said offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg: "I thought this was going to be a tough, physical, tight football game. They normally are between Dallas and us. And they got us. They got us good.
"You've got to give them credit. They were well-prepared and they played at a high level."
There may be more than a few Cowboys who recall the 44-6 rout that Philadelphia laid on Dallas in Week 17 last season. But making Sunday's lopsided Cowboys' victory all about that game would short-change Dallas' strong finish in 2009 – a three-game winning streak and a hard-fought NFC East title.
"It wasn't rewarding because of that," said Cowboys Pro Bowl receiver Miles Austin, who had 7 catches for 90 yards. "It's just rewarding anytime you can go out there and have a dominating performance."

Welcome to The StarWars.com 10, a feature where StarWars.com's editorial staff huddles to discuss — in a committee — various topics relating to a galaxy far, far away. Today we're looking at the top second bananas of a galaxy far, far away.
Archive for 2013
Star Wars Ambassadors to the Gridiron
Star Wars, by its very title, is a tale of epic battles. It's a pageant of good versus evil, a struggle between conquest and salvation. It's not called Star Romance or Star Force-Magic or any other title tied to one of its underlying themes. Those things happen against the back-drop of a good-old-fashioned war story.
People love a good throw-down. It's in our blood to compete. Those of you reading this blog may not engage in tribal warfare like our ancestors, but we still find ways to identify with modern-day "tribes" of a sort. Sports are a clear example of that as an outlet. Sports fans identify with their teams like they are our tribes. We wear their colors, we cheer like maniacs, and we take a lot of joy (and regret) over watching them battle it out.
Two years ago I found a fun way to mash up my love of Star Wars with my love of watching football. I repainted an old set of Stormtrooper armor in Carolina Panthers colors just for fun. I reported in this blog last year the growing number of "Sports Troopers" who decorate their Star Wars costumes to match their favorite sports teams. The responses surprised me.
The Cinema Behind Star Wars: The Dam Busters
The Dam Busters is a 1955 British film set in World War II. It tells the daring true story of an Royal Air Force raid to destroy a trio of German dams, deep in enemy territory.
Conventional weapons simply wouldn't do the job, so scientists had to develop a new way of delivering a bomb: skipping it across the water so it would wedge up against the dam. In order to hit the target, the pilots had to fly exactly 60 feet from the surface of the water and every bomber in the mission had to drop their bomb at exactly the same spot.
The Imperial Warlords: Despoilers of an Empire, Part 1
Did the Rebels truly defeat Palpatine's Empire at the Battle of Endor? The deep roots of the Star Wars mythos continue exploring that subject with tremendous zeal. In the literature of the galaxy far, far away, the conflict between the Alliance to restore the Republic and the crumbling Empire has played out in a multitude of wars for years beyond Return of the Jedi. Though the Galactic Civil War finally came to an end with the signing of a peace treaty almost two decades after the desolation of the second Death Star, this no-holds-barred primer profiles the most memorable and powerful Imperial renegades of those intervening years, the so-called "Warlords," who fought valiantly, viciously, and fanatically for the scraps of the once-glorious first Galactic Empire and whose selfishness ultimately brought about its self-destruction.
Star Wars: The Essential Guide to Warfare Author's Cut, Part 3 – "Xim the Despot"
Welcome to the third of 12 articles revealing — for the first time ever — material cut from The Essential Guide to Warfare before its April 2012 publication. Each section will be preceded by brief comments discussing why the material wound up on the cutting-room floor.
Jason Fry: I've been a huge fan of Xim the Despot ever since reading about this ancient galactic ruler in the pages of Brian Daley's Han Solo and the Lost Legacy back in 1980. I've never missed a chance to fill in Xim's backstory, starting with a write-up of the planet Desevro in Wizards of the Coast's Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds and continuing in The Essential Atlas. The Atlas had barely reached bookstores before I started working up an online supplement about the Tion Hegemony, Xim's old stomping grounds.
I continued this merry obsession in Warfare — among other things, that book features the first-ever look at Xim's warships. But looking over the Warfare manuscript, I knew I'd gone way overboard –– this wasn't The Essential Guide to Xim the Despot. I like this goofball mashup of Hamlet, "Ozymandias," and snobby English 19th century travel narratives. But as was often true with Warfare's "in-universe" essays, it was less important than the more straightforward writing about Xim we already had quite a lot of.
Star Wars Actors Hit Dallas Comic Con Fan Days with Official Pix
What originally started out as strictly a Star Wars event, Fan Days has become something of a pop culture show held each October at the Irving Convention Center in Irving, Texas. This is one of three different shows we put on in the Lone Star state each year. Our media guests range from Star Wars to Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica to The Walking Dead, Back to the Future to Lord of the Rings and everything in between from both film and television.
This past October 4-6, we had a great lineup of Star Wars talent for attendees to meet. As usual, I had each guest into the Official Pix autograph office during the show to sign for us on a variety of items in varying numbers. Personally, this is my favorite time with our guests. It's quiet, the A/C is cranked down, there's an ice-cold water station and comfortable chairs making it one of the more pleasant locations.

The Indianapolis Colts enter into their week 14 matchup against the rival Houston Texans with two things no one expected at the start of the season: a winning record, and a chance to win the AFC South title.
Of course, the biggest obstacle in that second pursuit are the Texans themselves. Houston enters this week with an 11-2 record following an embarrassing loss to New England at Gillette Stadium win week 13. In that game the Texans offense, which averages 384.5 yards per game (6th in the NFL) and 28.1 points per game (4th), was held to 323 yards and 14 points. The Texans defense, which has been almost as good as the offense in giving up 330 yards per game (7th) and 20.2 points per game (6th), was completely blitzed, allowing the Patriots to rack up 419 yards and 42 points.
A lot of that has to be due to the Texans defensive front (and defensive end J.J. Watt specifically) seven being unable to put consistent pressure on Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. The Texans have sacked the op...

Sacred Economics traces the history of money from ancient gift economies to modern capitalism, revealing how the money system has contributed to alienation, competition, and scarcity, destroyed community, and necessitated endless growth. Today, these trends have reached their extreme—but in the wake of their collapse, we may find great opportunity to transition to a more connected, ecological, and sustainable way of being.
This book is about how the money system will have to change—and is already changing—to embody this transition. A broadly integrated synthesis of theory, policy, and practice, Sacred Economics explores avant-garde concepts of the New Economics, including negative-interest currencies, local currencies, resource-based economics, gift economies, and the restoration of the commons. Author Charles Eisenstein also considers the personal dimensions of this transition, speaking to those concerned with "right livelihood" and how to live according to their ideals in a world seemingly ruled by money. Tapping into a rich lineage of conventional and unconventional economic thought, Sacred Economics presents a vision that is original yet commonsense, radical yet gentle, and increasingly relevant as the crises of our civilization deepen.

Just(in) Time
In Time (DVD)
Member Name: Jojoborne
In Time (DVD)
Date: 14/11/12
Advantages: Entertaining. Timberlake puts in a good performance.
Disadvantages: Holes in plot and umph factor could have been better.
In time is a movie that was written, produced and Directed by Andrew Niccol. I had heard of it last year but it only came to my attention again last week when a friend asked me if I could get hold of it for him. It stars Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried and Cillian Murphy and runs for one hour and forty-nine minutes. It was released to cinemas in October 2011 in the United States and a week later Worldwide. The DVD hit the shelves in January 2012. The movie is a fantasy based science fiction story and has a plot that would see it neatly holed in to the thriller genre as well. It is fast paced and entertaining and well worth a watch. A lot of people would cringe at the thought of watching Timberlake in a lead role but I think he is an emerging actor and plays this part really well, regardless of what some of the reviewers with obvious jealousy driven egos might say. More about that later in the review; for now let's take a look at the plot.
The Premise
Will Salas (Justin Timberlake) lives in a world where humans are genetically manufactured to live up to the age of twenty-five. Once a person hits twenty-five they receive a luminous implanted clock on their left forearm. This clock only lasts for a year and then they die. In order to live longer they have to replenish the clock with time credits. They do this by going to work where they are paid in time or by pawning items or taking out a time line. If a person's clock reaches zero, they die. Will lives day to day with his clock running to its last thirty minutes on most days. The government are making everything more and more expensive in order to cull the population; if everyone lived forever the earth would soon become over-crowded. The problem with this system, at least from Will's point of view is that the rich people can live for hundreds of years while the poorer are dying off in their droves. One example is Philippe Weis (Vincent Kartheiser), the father of Sylvia Weis (Amanda Seyfried), a fat-cat who sits pretty in his mansion with heavy guards with thousands of years on his clock and a million in a vault. Salas rescues a man in a bar who is buying everyone drinks. The man has one hundred and sixteen years on his clock. Will knows that time thieves and people in this rough neighbourhood will do anything to get at the man's time. Will helps him escape and they hole up in a derelict building.
The following morning, the man transfers all but five minutes of his clock to Will while he sleeps and after leaving Will a message proceeds to sit on the edge of a bridge until his clock runs out. Will runs towards the bridge after spotting him but his efforts are in vain. He is caught on camera looking over the bridge at the dead body.Will rushes home to meet his Mother at their usual place but she doesn't turn up to devastating consequences. The police are called time-keepers and Raymond Leon (Cillian Murphy) is convinced that Will has stolen the other man's time. What begins is a deadly game of cat and mouse and a determination to break the system. The only problem is does Will have enough time to make a difference.
My Thoughts
In Time had the potential to be a Sci-fi classic but ended up being a run-of-the-mill affair that is entertaining none-the-less. Niccol's vision and concept is brilliant but he didn't quite manage to pull off the complete package. I don't mean to be unfair to all the hard work he has obviously put into this movie but I am merely being honest. I enjoyed the movie and it got me thinking so that is a plus but it just fails with the wow-factor.Justin Timberlake is brilliant as Will Salas and his character is believable. In the opening scene where he gets out of bed with no top on I thought 'here we go' but thankfully the movie centres on his acting skills and his charisma rather than his body.
Amanda Seyfried plays well alongside him but her character is not as defined as Timberlake's and therefore not as involving or believable but she still does a great job and I liked her. She has that strange looking quality about her that reminds me a little of Christina Ricci.
Cillian Murphy is as brilliant and chilling as ever and plays the part of Raymond Leon to perfection. The Murphy, what you see is what you get and you will never see him blag his way through a role.
The movie is beautifully shot and cinematographer Roger Deakins certainly knows what he is doing. The movie often has that apocalyptic feel to it as the cool greys of day turn into the orange duskiness of evening and it all adds to the urgency of the plot. Niccol has got the pacing right for sure and keeps it flashing along nicely. I just wish he could've gone into the corruption at the top level a little more and given a little more history of how it all began to bolster the plot and story.
The concept, as I mentioned, is a really good one. It's not new by any stretch of the imagination and harps back to TV series of old such as 'Logan's Run' to mention one of the better known series. It could also be looked upon as a futuristic or fantasy based play on Robin Hood. The idea of having your time biologically ticking away on your arm is quite a frightening concept. Imagine having nineteen hours left and it costs two hours to get to work on the bus and two hours back. An hour for a coffee and an hour and a half for lunch and that's not to mention your bills. There are moments in the movie where Will's time is almost out and it makes for an exciting ride of how the hell he is going to get more time or if indeed he is. Of course we all know that he will but it is an exciting story-line all the same.I think we just have to hope that something like this never happens, and it is plausible that it could, because the world would be a crazy place. People would be robbed of their time and life in every nook, cranny and corner of the globe. For that reason, the movie is a good demonstration of human nature and what we do to survive. Indeed, the movie does read like an experiment or test at times and is quite frightening when you allow yourself to become involved.
The direction and acting in the movie is top notch but it just comes up short of being really memorable and considered as a top notch movie. I really did enjoy it though, and I can safely say that it is not a dud. The acting saves the plot in a way and it gets through on the concept and likeability of the characters. I just wish that Niccol had added a little more padding as in this case it would've given the viewer the background they needed. Maybe he didn't want to ruin the fast pace of the movie or the continuity, but to be honest, by rushing through it he has managed the very thing he tried to avoid, which leaves the movie struggling to move on at some points. Some of the holes in the plot seem to be over-ridden by the fast pace at times and for Niccol's sake it at least works to a certain extent.There are some flaws in the continuity and there are some bad decisions made by characters but I have never been one to criticise this as directors and writers work very hard and one of my pet hates is the 'That wouldn't happen in real life' line that so often pops out of people's mouths and usually people who don't know what they are talking about. All I can say to that is that movies and books are mostly fiction; fiction, you know that thing that we create using our imagination in order to have people do what they normally wouldn't do in real life. How boring movies would be if people just did what we all do every day.
It is definitely a movie for a Sunday afternoon and is good enough and entertaining enough to be recommended. Timberlake can be safe in the knowledge that he will get more roles on the back of this and rightly so. I think he deserves a lot of credit for his performance and I for one prefer to see him doing this rather than prancing around like a chicken and sounding like an old Sega Mario game.
The DVD is available at all good stores and online stockists and if you shop around you can find it for a really good price. The original release contains about 12 minutes of extras including deleted scenes and theatrical trailers. The Blue-Ray version contains featurettes, making of and cast interviews.

How to learn to care less about what people think?I have a presentation in a couple of days and now I'm worried about practising it with/in front of my group. I have come to the conclusion that it is because I am to worried and care too much about what they might think about me. I've always cared about people's opinions more than necessary and I'm beginning to get tired of it. What are some tips on how to be more at peace with yourself and disregard others' opinions when needed?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker
People will think what they want anyhow and those who are your friends will want you to relax and just prepare well for the presentation. Get it all written down on paper and make it interesting. If you write a good presentation that shows committment and even if you seem nervous when you stand there, that is something...

Answered By: Simon_Aus - 1/10/2011
The best way to get through one of these without worry is rehearsal. Avoid the mistake of thinking that talking to a group is different from talking to one person, which you find easy. Do you think those people care much how you do? Do you care much how they do?
Answered By: RWPossum - 1/10/2011
Don't look at your presentation as a sales pitch. Try to think of it as a chance to educate your audience. Think of yourself as doing a service.

picture them in their underwear. they will now just be a group of people in their undies thinking about how horrible your presentation is
Answered By: Horrible Advice - 1/10/2011
First of all you must be satisfied with your own presentation and believe in it and yourself. Prepare well and think that your IQ and ability is better than many of those would be there. Think of all the questions that you think can be asked and objections may be raised. Prepare in advance to deal with them. You should...

Happy 25th Vanessa Hudgens–Check out Her and Other Big Stars Who Got Their Break in Sundance Breakout Roles
Snakkle would like to wish Vanessa Hudgens a very Happy 25th Birthday. Did you know that Hudgens got an early acting start with the film Thirteen that premiered at Sundance? What started back in 1978 as a small competition for independent American films, and with the help of the star power of its early Chairperson, actor Robert Redford, the event has grown into a week-long celebrity-packed party on the slopes where new and established stars gather to watch (and judge) indie films, fresh faces, and drum up publicity for themselves and their projects, all while catching powder. With so many iconic films coming out of Sundance over the years (Deliverance, Midnight Cowboy and Mean Streets were all screened at the first 1978 festival), Snakkle tracks down the stars of past stand-out and award-winning films from the Sundance festival circuit to see if they ever made it big.

We and others (above all Prof. Lester Brickman) have been consistently critical of the gamesmanship and power plays involved in the "prepackaged" bankruptcies of various companies sued in asbestos litigation, in which asbestos plaintiff's lawyers have sometimes effectively seized control of the bankruptcy process (in cooperation with current management) to frustrate the legitimate interests of non-asbestos creditors and insurers. Now New Jersey bankruptcy judge Kathryn Ferguson has dismissed the attempted prepack of the Congoleum Corporation, a flooring manufacturer, in what American Lawyer's David Bario calls a "feisty" ruling (PDF) that could discourage such attempts in future. Check out Bario's article for reminders of the far from attractive conduct of (among others) Joe Rice of Motley Rice and Perry Weitz of the Sheldon Silver law firm, Weitz & Luxenberg.

Between LIberalism and Democracy
We study a class of voting rules that bridge between majoritarianism and liberalism. An outcome of the vote specifies who among the voters are eligible to a certain right or qualification. Each outcome serves also as a permissible ballot. We characterize axiomatically a family of rules parameterized by the weight each individual has in determining his or her qualification. In one extreme case, the Liberal Rule, each individual's qualification is determined by her. In the other, an individual's qualification is determined by a majority. We also propose a formalization of self-determination, and apply it in a characterization of the Liberal Rule.(This abstract was borrowed from another version of this item.)

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.
~ Bruce Lee
Many of my students are so amazed when they see me perform a jump spin hook kick or a tornado kick. Very seldom do I use these techniques in fighting. Why you may ask. There are quite a few reasons. First of all my front kick is much more perfected than either of these two. I have practiced a front kick 1,000 times for every 1 time I have practiced these kicks. Secondly when sparring I maintain a certain level of control that a front kick affords me. After nearly two decades of training in Tang Soo Do I always find myself going back to my basics. I good workout for me always includes front kick, round kick, side kick, & hook kick. Practice the basics until they become reflex rather than reaction.

Feds Say KC No Longer Tops List For Mercury Storage Site
Kansas City, Mo. – To a neighborhood's relief, the federal government is backing off from the idea of making the Bannister Road federal complex a toxic waste storage site after the defense plant there closes.
The idea of storing tons of toxic mercury at the site drew the unanimous objection of the city council over the summer because the facility is in a residential area and also in a flood-plain, raising the possibility of contaminating the water supply.
Councilman John Sharp called making it a waste dump a stupid idea as early as July.
"I guess we could have found a worse location if they could have found a daycare center somewhere and put it right next to it," said Sharp.
When word came that environmental impact studies suggested there were better places to store the waste mercury, councilwoman Cathy Jolly called it "wonderful news."
But now the Department of Energy says environmental impact studies support community concerns, and another piece of government property near Andrews, Texas is better suited for toxic waste storage.

Statutory Retirement Age and Lifelong Learning
The employability of an aging population in a world of continuous technical change is top of the political agenda. Due to endogenous human capital depreciation, the effective retirement age is often below statutory retirement age resulting in unemployment among older workers. We analyze this phenomenon in a putty-putty human capital vintage model and focus on education and the speed of human capital depreciation. Introducing a two-stage education system with initial schooling and lifelong learning, not even lifelong learning turns out to be capable of aligning economic and statutory retirement. However, lifelong learning can increase the number of people reaching statutory retirement age and hence reduce the problem of old age unemployment in an aging society.Download Info
