Jordan Spiz'ike – Neutral Grey – Varsity Maize – Dark Shadow – Varsity Red
November 19th, 2011 by John Kim | 28 comments
This upcoming colorway of the Jordan Spiz'ike has stirred up quite a debate on the Sneaker News comments corner, regarding the 'Bordeaux' moniker that's been attached to the shoe. Truth is, these are more 'Doernbecher' than 'Bordeaux', as it features quite a hodge podge of tones – Varsity Maize, Sapphire Blue, Varsity Red, and a bright Green on top of the multiple hues of grey. However, this upcoming release holds no bearing on either the famed OG Air Jordan VII colorway or the children's hospital that Nike has collaborated with for several years, but instead spearheads the Jordan Spiz'ike movement for 2012 while leading to the next Spike Lee-centric hybrid – the Jordan Son Of Mars. We've got a new set of detailed images for you below, so take a look and stick with Sneaker News for more Jordan Brand 2012 release information and updates. via RMK.

Watch Fab cop them shits and wear a hot outfit, bet y'all gonna jump on them kicks ASAP
...there is just too much goin on with this model which,i think,ATTRIBUTES to the KNOCK-OFF resemblance.Or,the picture quality is not good.
these are so dope, if you guys want to hate, i dont mind less waiting time for me to get these at any campouts and more pairs for me :)
haha wat happened to the "Bordeaux" name for these smh, i guess they finally realized that colorway aint even Bordeaux, clearly its varsity red
Guess these aren't "Bordeaux" Spiz'ike's after all. Clearly says "Varsity Red". Bordeaux is a shade of burgundy for those that didn't know.
The first photo almost made them look half decent but then after looking at the other pics saw it transform back into a Fisher Price shoe... IMO if you did a lace swap and replaced the yellow accents with the blue it would've probably been a good c/w but this is just terrible.
The downright childish color-blocking is why everyone is hatting but bet if they said they where designed by a child n where a part of the doernbecher releases people would be going crazy a damn shame what hype dose
these bitches is slick AF u slippin if u dont COPP! Watch ima cop && wear em then everybody goin be on em #HYPEBEAST Smh

A Passage to India, director David Lean's final film (for which he also received editing credit), breaks no new ground cinematically, but remains an exquisitely assembled harkback to such earlier Lean epics as Doctor Zhivago and Ryan's Daughter. Based on the novel by E. M. Forster, the film is set in colonial India in 1924. Adela Quested (Judy Davis), a sheltered, well-educated British woman, arrives in the town of Chandrapore, where she hopes to experience "the real India". Here she meets and befriends...more

My grandson was a kid who loved fiddling with things, unable to walk by a stereo without tinkering with every dial and jack. Nothing was safe. Whatever he tinkered with was rendered useless within minutes.
My friend Arthur fiddled for hours to find the optimum angle to maximize the vortex speed of water pouring out of a jug.
I crack up at Rube Goldberg gadgets, the complex devices in Wallace and Grommet claymation comedies and their relationship with over-gadgetized media centers and coffee makers that require instructional DVDs.
A newspaper story caught my attention: Proctor & Gamble spent eight years and hundreds of millions of dollars to make palm-size, detergent-filled "pods" — to take the "messiness" out of laundry.
"Improving" mundane items often takes years and hundreds of millions to develop and market. Still, the story continued, "New products are a tough sell to consumers."
Selling fluffy toilet paper now contributes to global deforestation; P&G's gadget adds a dissolving package that increases water pollution, hardly a cultural contribution. We're learning that some industries create more environmental damage than what they add to the economy.
Our society has few ways to discern which corporate activities are destroyers, reducing Earth's natural wealth while claiming they're just meeting consumer demand.
Even diligent consumers lack the information to make informed choices; witness the battle giant Monsanto is waging to avoid labeling GMO foods.
Researchers free from corporate interests, nonprofits and independent media decry genetic engineering, calling for serious evaluations of its ability to harm Earth's ecosystems.
While futzers fiddled with plant genetics to create "Roundup Ready" crops, Mother Nature leaped ahead, creating Roundup Resistant weeds.
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it," says the proverb. But without simple ways to tell tinkerers to butt out, we can't follow this simple wisdom.
Just because something can be done doesn't mean it should be.
Our national panic about energy has unleashed more corporados peddling an array of techno-fixes — all involving disastrous consequences to our health, fresh and salt water and endangering Earth's ability to sustain us.
Simple measures like making homes, offices and other buildings energy efficient, installing solar panels on public buildings, schools, shopping centers and parking structures can go a long way toward easing future energy requirements.
So can more energy efficient transportation — cars, trucks, ships, trains and buses. To the dismay of some, conservation isn't gizmo-rich.
Fracking, injecting water and chemicals to fracture underground rock formations, evokes our fondness for crashing, smashing and blowing up things, popularized in Hollywood action movies. In reality, fracking pollutes the air, contaminates wells, causes earthquakes and threatens aquifers.
Similarly, biomass incinerators like those proposed by Nippon in Port Angeles and Port Townsend Paper use monster machines to masticate slash and toss it into diesel trucks that roar down local waterfronts.
The toxic gases and life-threatening particles from diesel trucks and the burning biomass threaten our health, our water and our air, researchers find.
Tiny, virtually weightless nanoparticles can enter the blood stream carrying dioxins, heavy metals and other toxins to the heart, the brain and every other vital organ, even crossing placentas to reach fetuses in the womb.
Current technology can't filter out nanoparticles and today's environmental laws don't protect us as the winds carry them into our bodies and our homes, farms and fields, our playgrounds, harbors and bays.
Biomass projects use tax dollar subsidies to make electricity to sell to the highest bidder. Neither the power nor the profits will stay here. Neither mill has guaranteed the preservation of current jobs. Neither has pledged to remove toxins from its site, the water or the local environment.
Citizen groups are asking for a moratorium on biomass incinerators to give people in the community a chance to examine their impact. Port Angeles City Councilman Max Mania became the first official in Clallam County to support a moratorium.
Can corporations be dissuaded from further damaging our health and our environment? Will techno-fixers listen to Mother Nature's needs?
That may be as likely as getting a 5-year-old to abandon an X-Box for a walk in the woods. But it may have much greater consequences for the future of the peninsula.

"A tablet that will replace my notebook."
4.5 starson by TigerJ8Pros: - Fast, 6 seconds boot up
- Small-ish
- Good looking screen
- Stylus - gotta love digital ink!
- Good Wifi performance
- Well made, feels special - rare, at the moment
- Can run all programs and apps I use (Office, Autodesk Inventor, Lightroom, etc.)Cons: - Runs warm, despite having fans
- Need longer battery life
- Stylus off by 1 mm when used at a slanted angle (my normal writing posture)
- Touch cover does not magnetically stick on to the glass, nor the backSummary: I was fortunate enough to be able to pick one up on the release day. So far, I have been very pleased with the purchase. I'm an engineering student looking for a machine that I can use like an iPad, but also have the option to run all my design and programming applications. The surface pro suits the need well. So I decided to give it a try. It's very fast, in fact it feels significantly faster than my 2 year old 15" MBP (w/ Intel SSD). With my software installed, and unnecessary start up programs disabled, the computer starts up in 6 seconds, and shuts down in 1. The user interface is butter smooth. The metro side is good for content consumption, like reading, browsing, listening to music, and watching videos. The traditional desktop is good for getting work done such as office, solidworks, inventor, matlab, etc. I don't mind the small buttons on the screen as I can always use the stylus, mouse, or touchpad. It's worth mentioning that the touch cover takes a lot of practice if you want to type fast. I'm glad to finally see the Apple-like butter smooth, colorful user experience brought to a Windows device.
Aside from my positive first hand experience of the device, there are a few issues I want to mention.
- The device runs warm. Although it feels cooler coming from a macbook pro, which also ran hot, i didn't have to write anything on the macbook. I use the stylus on the surface pro a lot, and having less heat on the glass could significantly improve the experience. It's tolerable, but I hope it ran cooler.
- The stylus is not 100% accurate in day-to-day use, even when calibrated. It is technically very accurate even on factory calibration settings - if the stylus is perpendicular to the screen, but the average person doesn't write like that. We usually write at a 45 degree-ish angle. At this angle, the point on the screen is slightly off - usually about 1mm off depending on the location of the screen. This takes some time to get use to, but once I got used to it, my writing definitely look nicer and cleaner on the surface than on paper. The texts are so smooth and bright that they literally pop out of the screen at you.
- The capacitive start button is annoying in portrait mode as my hand always accidentally hit it when I copy notes (unless i flip the device 180 degrees), or read. I understand that it looks good to place the button at the center of the device, but I wish that it was in one of the corners, or that it was a physical button
- I would also like to have a physical orientation lock. The orientation sensor is EXTREMELY sensitive. Leaving the orientation on automatic is impractical.. and WILL drive you insane! FYI, the lock button is usually 4 taps away
- Battery.. It's usually around 4.5 hours for me. I just plug it in whenever I do anything computational intensive. It isn't a big issue for me as I have access to plugs often. I do wish it lasts several hours longer though. So that I won't ever have to think about it.
- The magnetic power cord takes a little getting used to. Unlike the mac one, which will almost fly in at a distance. It seems that the tolerances on the surface are a little too tight and it definitely takes some getting used to.
- Finally, like all devices with a high PPI, initially a lot of applications not optimized for this will look slightly blurry. This should get better with time.
Overall, definitely one of my favorite computers. The things it can do well far outweighs the things it can't. I would recommend this device for anyone who value content creation as much as content consumption, appreciate good quality design. Also, don't stray away from the power grid too often.
- 3 replies to this review
Do you still feel the same way now that several months have passed?
Not that I know of at the moment. If you really need to charge it in your car, you can find a 12V DC to 120V AC converter online, and plug your surface charger to that. -
do they make a car charger for it

Really? I thought Farouk was doing well for them!
I don't know how you define well in this instance?
The team started scoring goals and collecting points (albeit mostly draws). There was a good sign that with time Farouk was going to get them up the log.
hehehehehe Chilli Boss gave the word 'Well' a new meaning. Well means not enough...
Brokey is lying Mugeyi is not fired
hehehehehe I too did not believe it at first
hahahaha Bhengu was fired just after a week of putting pen to paper. Ink had hardly dried on paper when he was fired
What is this that I hear of Bhengu? He signed two weeks ago and now even before the league resumes he is deemed surplus to requirements.
This Chippa dude is taking confusion to virgin levels
Chippa is an idot... Period...

1. Grounded optimism. For climate action success, we need a scientifically based narrative of what to do. EnROADS helps anyone (not just modelers) create such a narrative.
2. Policy-makers are using it. Jonathan Pershing of the U.S. Department of Energy has asked for specific features and scenarios.
3. A complement to existing scientific models. Prof. John Weyant of Stanford University is the chair of the EnROADS external review committee. We want this simulation to complement the existing suite of research models.

2008 Top Prospects
Patrick Lala
- RHP - 2008 - Marion, IA
Lala's stuff has come a long way since he was a mid 80's high school thrower. He still has effort to his delivery and needs to fine tune his command but he pitched at 90-92 mph with a sharp 80 mph slider.
2009 Top Prospects
Ben Bergman
- LHP - 2009 - Mount Vernon, IA
Bergman is a big framed 6-5, 210 junior college freshman with a polished approach to pitching. His fastball touched 87 mph from an extended ¾'s release point and he showed very good feel for a sweeping curveball.
2010 Top Prospects
Michael Foltynewicz
- RHP - 2010 - Minooka, IL
"Folty" threw outstanding and had to have put himself into 1st round type consideration with his performance. He was steady 93-94 mph for his first set and flashed the power curveball that we've seen frequently outdoors.
Jordan Shipers
- LHP - 2010 - Bethany, MO
Shipers pounded the strike zone at knee level with an 89-92 mph fastball that touched 93. His signature slider was big and sharp, although he didn't have his best command of it. We've never seen a hitter get a good at bat against the young southpaw yet over multiple looks.
Kellen Sweeney
- SS - 2010 - Cedar Rapids, IA
Sweeney was hitting against live pitching for the first time since his TJ surgery last August and looked surprisingly good with the bat. He's also gained at least 10 pounds of very positive, well distributed muscle since last summer.
D.J. Snelten
- LHP - 2010 - Ingleside, IL
Snelten looks the part at an angular 6-6, 215 lbs and has a smooth delivery and extended ¾'s release point. He sat at 88 mph on his fastball, touching 90, and threw a big sweeping curveball for strikes. His release point is perfect to add a slider in the future.
Kaleb Clark
- RHP - 2010 - Baxter Springs, KS
Clark has a strong and mature 6-3, 200 lb build and an equally mature delivery and approach to pitching. He threw four pitches for strikes and worked the corners very well with his upper 80's fastball. Either of his slider, curveball or change up could develop into his second best pitch, all showed quality at times.
Clay Wallace
- RHP - 2010 - Zionsville, IN
Wallace doesn't project much at a mature and strong 6-0, 195 lbs but has three present quality pitches and command of all of them. He sat at 88-89 with his fastball, threw a nice fading change up but his best pitch was a very sharp mid 70's curveball that was nasty at times. He should be an immediate winner at the college level.
Jonathan Musser
- RHP - 2010 - Waukee, IA
Musser's delivery and command gets better every time we see him and his 6-5, 205 lb build is very projectable. He sat at 86-88 mph and showed good depth on a sharp 73 mph curveball.
Bobby Juan
- OF - 2010 - La Crosse, WI
Juan is a tall and angular 6-3, 200 lb left handed hitter. He has a tall, well balanced hitting approach and a smooth, strong swing. He hit the ball hard to all fields and his bat stays on plane with the ball for a long time. Juan should hit right away at the next level with his approach and tools.
Conor Fisk
- RHP - 2010 - Brown Deer, WI
Fisk is a big bodied athlete with a very loose and fast arm. He sat at 90 mph on a big tailing 2-seam fastball and touched 92 mph. Fisk also flashed good tight spin on his curveball, although he needs more consistency with this pitch.
Tyler King
- LHP - 2010 - Republic, OK
The 6-0, 210 lb King has a fast paced, deceptive delivery and a fastball that topped out at 87 mph. His out pitch was a big, hard breaking curveball that will give left handed hitters nightmares when he learns how to command it better.
Matthew Linderer
- RHP - 2010 - St. Louis, MO
Linderer is a slender 6-2, 175 lb right hander with a very sound and easy delivery and arm action. He painted the corners with a very live mid-80's fastball and we've seen him throw harder in the past. Hitters don't get very good swings against him even as he pounds the strike zone.
Anthony (AJ) Gaura
- RHP - 2010 - Suamico, WI
The 6-6, 210 lb Gaura pitched in the 83-85 mph range but hides the ball very well and his late moving fastball jumps on hitters. Both his change up and curveball were good pitches and he pounded the strike zone with all three offerings.
Sawyer Smith
- C - 2010 - Dexter, MO
Sawyer has a broad shouldered and strong build at 6-3, 205 lbs but has very quiet hands receiving the ball and very good footwork fundamentals. He has a busy power oriented approach at the plate that can be toned down but the ball jumps very hard on contact.
Trevor Kenyon
- 3B - 2010 - Davenport, IA
Kenyon has a strong, mature hitter's body and a nice aggressive swing that we've seen steadily develop over the last three years. He took some of his best swings against the top velocity pitchers at the event and hit the ball hard.
2011 Top Prospects
Greg Fettes
- C - 2011 - Madison Heights, MI
Fettes was the best catcher at the showcase and one of the best hitters as well. He has a very mature, quiet set up behind the plate and receives balls effortlessly. His strength gives him very good bat speed and he makes consistent hard contact with a short swing path to the ball.
Danny Heim
- RHP - 2011 - St Louis, MO
Heim has a solid 5-11, 185 lb athletic body and an outstanding delivery that enables him to throw four quality pitches for strikes. He touched 90 mph on his fastball but his upper 70's slider was his strikeout pitch. Heim's combination of command and stuff will make him very successful.
Dakota Freese
- RHP - 2011 - Cedar Rapids, IA
Freese looks like he's developing feel and maturity on the mound to go with his promising raw stuff. He mixed up an 88 mph 4 seam fastball with a sinking 85 mph 2-seamer and worked both sides of the plate effectively.
Ryan Bull
- C - 2011 - Eden Prairie, MN
Bull is a rock solid 6-1, 200 lbs but is quick and athletic behind the plate and a very good blocker and quiet receiver. He has power in his bat and drives the ball hard to the middle of the field and the gaps.
Brandon Platts
- RHP - 2011 - Mason City, IA
The 6-4, 210 Platts has a very strong, durable body that he uses well in his delivery. He throws a very heavy sinking fastball in the 85-88 mph range and hitters will have a very hard time getting the ball in the air off him. Platts' slider showed potential as a solid second pitch.
Braden Shull
- LHP - 2011 - Mt. Pleasant, IA
Schull is a 6-4, 200 lb southpaw with a loose, projectable body and a smooth, under control delivery. He pitched at 84-86 mph with good command and flashed good spin on a soft slider. He's just scratching the surface of his potential.
Andrew Hedrick
- LHP - 2011 - Polk City, IA
Hedrick is a young looking and athletic 6-0, 165 lb southpaw with a loose and quick arm. He was steady in the 84-86 mph range with good late life and should add plenty of velocity with more strength.
Lance Jeffries
- OF - 2011 - Ferguson, MO
The 5-9, 180 lb Jefferies showed surprising raw power and bat speed for his size and does an excellent job of using his lower half to generate power in his swing. He looks like a quick twitch athlete and we're anxious to see him play outside as soon as possible.
Lucas Long
- RHP - 2011 - Minneapolis, MN
Long had a very consistent delivery and release point and very consistent stuff he threw for strikes. His fastball was steady at 85-87 mph with good life, his knuckle curveball hard and tight and he showed good confidence in his changeup for a young pitcher.
2012 Top Prospects
Taylor Wallace
- RHP - 2012 - Maumelle, AR
Wallace is very young but was one of the most advanced pitchers at the event. He has an outstanding delivery that he repeats very well, enabling him to paint with all three of his pitches. Wallace's changeup is a potential plus pitch and he's sure to gain velocity from his present 84-86 mph.
Jonathan Harris
- RHP - 2012 - Florissant, MO
The 6-2, 155 lb Harris may end up being the best prospect from this event in a couple of years. He is very young looking and slender but has a buttery smooth arm action and a present 84 mph fastball. Both his curveball and slider were very sharp at times and he showed feel for his change up.
Brett Sunde
- C - 2012 - Royal Oak, MI
Sunde has a compact and strong 5-10, 190 lb build for his age and outstanding skills as well. He squared up the ball more consistently than any hitter at the event. He uses his quick twitch athleticism to block every ball behind the plate and has a definite maturity about his approach to the game.
Kevin Phillips
- C - 2012 - University City, MO
Phillips a young 6-1, 200 lb receiver with long arms and a strong lower half. He showed quality tools both behind the plate and at bat and should continue to improve as he fills out his upper half.
Zach Arnold
- C - 2012 - Frankfort, KY
The 6-2, 175 lb Arnold is the most physically projectable of the three outstanding 2012 catchers at the event. He had a very polished and patient approach at the plate, with the ability to lay off borderline pitches but aggressively attack balls in his hitting zone.

Online monitoring assists in identifying counterfeiters
Packaging World: In your opinion, what role can packaging play in addressing counterfeit pharmaceuticals?
Shepherd: Packaging has a very important role. It has to signify the authenticity of this product, and not just hold the product or explain the benefits of the product. There are some interesting technologies out there, such as holograms, but let's be honest, industry will constantly be combating counterfeiting. It's just going to keep escalating because pharmaceuticals represent an incredibly lucrative market. So packaging is great, but ultimately the industry will have to keep coming up with other technologies. The biggest problem I see is that packaging is no longer the key to ensuring product legitimacy for gray market and counterfeit concerns. With the Internet, people can represent a product as legitimate and there are few ways to guarantee its legitimacy. We now have a new product that does this called authorized dealer badging. We can instantly give any product page being viewed by a consumer immediate verification of its authenticity and warranty.

I agree with what Peter said about deejay being one good example of skeumorphic design that provides decent user experience. Another example I could find is GarageBand. Real-world metaphors could be good sometimes. And I strongly believe Apple wouldn't go all-out flat with iOS 7. Throwing out gloss and gradient is more than enough in my opinion.

Silver Linings Playbook (2012) Review
A movie review article by: Danny Djeljosevic
While his filmography may seem diverse, there's actually a common theme running through every David O. Russell film -- people yelling at one another. It happens in I Heart Huckabees as politically aware fireman Mark Wahlberg argues dinner with a family of strangers and The Fighter as Amy Adams has to deal with boxing meathead Mark Wahlberg's gaggle of bitchy sisters. You may think it's just a Wahlberg thing, but behind the camera Russell is infamous for going nuclear on Lily Tomlin and getting into a fistfight with George Clooney. His newest film, Silver Linings Playbook gives its characters a lot of excuses to yell at one another.
Our main character is Pat (Bradley Cooper), a former high school teacher with bi-polar disorder who just got out of a state mental health institution as a plea bargain for beating the crap out of the guy who was sleeping with his wife. Cooper gets a lot of hate as one of those people in Hollywood who are too attractive to be taken seriously or even liked by the bitter online critics who look nothing like Bradley Cooper, but if anything you're like me* you remember him as the hapless wiener reporter from Alias and are fully aware he's very susceptible to torture. As Pat, Cooper's amazingly cast -- a well-meaning meathead from working class roots, prone to mood swings and saying the first thing that pops into his head regardless of appropriateness. He's not necessarily meant to be likable, but he is meant to be understandable as he quickly embarks on a self-improvement kick upon his return, choosing to see the "silver linings" in life, rigorously exercising and attempting to read every book his wife is teaching that semester in the deluded hopes that he can win her back.
Soon he meets Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence), a headstrong young woman with baggage and a dead husband who ends up in a mutual infatuation with Pat. Lawrence quickly proved herself an amazing actress with Winter's Bone and The Hunger Games, and here she's just as intense but decidedly less hardened -- more of the kind of intensity that comes from overcompensating. She's an exposed, damage nerve, but she's keeping it together, using amateur dancing as an outlet. Her sister is friends with Pat's wife, so the pair form a mutually beneficial relationship where he serves as Tiffany's partner in the impending dance competition in exchange for her passing on letters to his wife.
Then there's Pat Sr. (Robert DeNiro), a retiree who makes bets on Philadelphia Eagles games to fund a restaurant he wants to open, while superstitiously positioning his son to help win games. It's a great performance from an actor who in recent years has coasted on his prior legendary roles while taking paychecks to portray Somebody's Grandpa. Here, DeNiro perfectly plays an obsessive, anger-prone man who's clearly the father of our main character.
Pat Sr. isn't alone in this movie -- pretty much everyone else likes football too much. Silver Linings rounds out its cast with Jacki Weaver as Pat's understanding but frustrated mother, John Ortiz as Pat's unhappy buddy, Julia Stiles as said buddy's put-together, perfectionist wife (and Tiffany's sister), and a rare Chris Tucker performance. While he's become "that really shrill guy from the Rush Hour movies who had to follow Kanye West during that Katrina telethon" he's actually quite warm and funny as Pat's buddy without any baggage.
I've spent four paragraphs on the actors because they're what make Silver Linings Playbook worth watching. Like Russell's previous film, The Fighter, it's the performances and a script that treats the characters as humans as opposed to chess pieces that bring the film to life -- that keep it from becoming a formulaic romantic comedy. Eventually the football world and the dancing world collide to a point where the big dance competition decides the very fate of pop's restaurant, but even that is handled fairly well.
There's a really big moment of proof that you can make this kind of movie without being cloying -- and this is a spoiler -- Pat's biggest trigger is Stevie Wonder's "My Cherie Amor," the song that was playing during the fateful day he beat a man within an inch of his life. A hack screenwriter would use that song during Pat and Tiffany's climactic dance competition performance, creating this big metaphor as Pat breaks down one of the biggest walls in his recovery. The film even seems like it's setting up for that big moment, but it never happens. That's "Jean Claude Van Damme quitting cocaine cold turkey" levels of restraint.
Silver Linings Playbook is enjoyable, funny, sometimes cringe-inducing but ultimately kind of slight -- hardly what we expect from the often incendiary David O. Russell. I'd return to Three Kings and Huckabees at the drop of a hat, but this one feels less encouraging of repeat viewings. It seems like the awards season love for The Fighter a couple years ago is sending him down a more populist, middlebrow avenue, which would be a shame because we already have a Jason Reitman.

i need the code for md5 in c language...
plz help me
hi mr shabbir, got a question here,, can you increase the maximum input of convertion, if i input 32767+ i get wrong convertion thx for the reply
Why don't you try the same and share it as an article here. I am sure my code is good enough to explain you the concept.
#include <stdio.h> #include <conio.h> main () { int n,r[10],i; clrscr(); printf("Enter a number to get its hexadecimal equivalent\n"); scanf("%d",&n); for(i=0;n!=0;i++) { r[i]=n%16; n=n/16; } i--; for(;i>=0;i--) { if(r[i]==10) printf("A"); else if(r[i]==11) printf("B"); else if(r[i]==12) printf("C"); else if(r[i]==13) printf("D"); else if(r[i]==14) printf("E"); else if(r[i]==15) printf("F"); else printf("%d",r[i]); } printf("\n"); getch(); return 0; }
May be because that is the limit of int and see if changing the data type helps.

Oracle Virtualization Version 188.8.131.52 |
General Information | |
Purpose | Vitualization is a great concept. Occassionally it also actually has value in practice. The point of this page in the library is not to tout the value of Oracle VM (OVM) which now with Version 3+ is turning into something decent, or to say nice things about IBM's VPars and other virtualization technologies whose origins go back to the old IBM 370 mainframe days ... perhaps earlier. Nor is the purpose to slam EMC's VMWare products for their total inadequacy as a production database environment. Rather it is to point out the obvious to anyone wishing to visit this page and read it. The following is taken, verbatim, from Oracle Support. Emphasis on specific points is mine. |
Support Position for Oracle Products Running on VMWare Virtualized Environments [ID 249212.1] | |

Shoe obsession
No longer mere accessory, shoes move center stage
Shoes are having a 21st century moment as they've pushed from mere accessory to the center of the fashion stage.
Sexuality, social status, fashion IQ: The reasons for our shoe obsession are many, but one thing's for sure: more, and more avant-garde, designers are taking on the feet.
"There has been a big emphasis on high designer shoes in the past 10 to 12 years, so more women are certainly willing to spend more money on high-end shoes, but there's also been a real focus on shoes as art pieces," said Colleen Hill, assistant curator of accessories for The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology.
The museum went directly to the source — a Who's Who of shoe designers and some high-profile collectors — for "Shoe Obsession," an exhibition that runs through April 13.
Outlandish beer heiress Daphne Guinness lent some of her favorites. So did jewelry designer Lynn Ban, who owns roughly 800 pairs and says, "I've worn them all, at least once."
The exhibition shows off 153 specimens, mostly from this century, including Ban's silver-platform Chanels with handguns for heels (They came with a warning against packing them in carry-on luggage when flying). From the eerie, bone-white Exoskeleton made of resin and produced through 3-D digital printing by Janina Alleyne to the disco-ballish silver sparklers without a heel by Giuseppe Zanotti (also Ban's); nary a style is left unrepresented by FIT.
Hill and Valerie Steele, director and chief curator of the museum, have co-written a book, "Shoe Obsession," to accompany the exhibit. During a recent walk-through, the two spoke of designer shoes as the new millennium's "It" bag, which has not gone unnoticed by major department stores.
The flagship Macy's in Manhattan expanded floor space for shoes by 10 percent, boasting 250,000 pairs. Saks Fifth Avenue enlarged shoe departments in about a dozen stores around the country, with the Manhattan store's department 40 percent larger, spanning the entire eighth floor and hosting the first Louis Vuitton shoe shop within a department store.
Shoes by established designers and design houses — Manolo Blahnik, Salvatore Ferragamo, Roger Vivier, Chanel, Prada, Christian Louboutin — remain popular — obvi! — but quirky stars have arisen as quickly as heels have gone so high that 4 inches is the new "low," the two curators said.
The new design generation? Modernists Kei Kagami, with art pieces that take on an almost orthopedic terror, and Noritaka Tatehana, working in stamped leather, spikes and tall toe platforms absent a heel, stand out in a strong contingent from Japan.
Brazilian shoe designer Alexandre Birman lent the exhibit three pairs done in painted reptile skin.
"Shoes have a psychological, sociocultural and seductive significance to our culture, from the Hollywood celebrity to the everyday woman, which goes beyond a materialistic obsession," he said in an email.
The centuries have spawned many beautiful shoes, but the masses joining in a more recent phenomenon known as the "Sex and the City" effect continues to ripple in fashion.
Shoes are so popular, in fact, that Hill cited recent data noting the average American woman owns nearly twice as many shoes as she did a decade ago — about 17 pairs.
"What we're seeing in a way is a kind of democratization of the kind of phenomenon that we saw in `Sex and the City,"' Steele said. "At first it was just sort of some people who were really obsessed with high-end designer shoes. This has now spread."
Shoes, she said, have moved from accessories to fashion's main story "to BEING the main story, in part because designer clothes have gotten so expensive. So even if you're spending $900, $1,000 on a pair of shoes, something insane, that's less than you'd be spending by far than if you were getting a dress or something, and people seem to feel that it's more worth it."
Height, Steele said, "has reached this great moment," when compared to a decade ago. "We've gone about as high as most people can walk in shoes, unless you're Lady Gaga. That's about six inches, but some people can do higher."
Ban is one of them.
"I can go maybe 10 inches, but that's, like, standing at a cocktail party not moving. Anything for fashion," she laughed.
While a high toe platform to match rear height remains popular, with Ban and millions of other fashionistas, "we're starting to see a new trend toward what people are calling sexy shoes, by which they mean single-sole shoes instead of a platform, so I think that implies that the heel will get a little bit less vertiginous, and instead the emphasis will be on interesting materials and decoration, and different shoe shapes," Steele said.
There's no way to categorize popularity in shoes today. There's a range of heights, shapes and embellishments — feathers, crystals, beads, spikes, human hair made to look like the tails of ponies, molded and painted resins, painted python. All are included in the exhibition.
Linda Wells, editor in chief of Allure magazine, said in a New York Fashion Week interview that shoe trends are like fashion trends in general — you can find whatever you want: pointy toes, stiletto heels, high platforms, fancy flats, more masculine shapes.
"Everyone likes buying shoes. You don't have to take your clothes off or be a model size to wear them," Wells said.
Overall, Steele said, "high heels have really become the prime symbol of erotic femininity. However high it is, but the concept of the high heel, that's really important. It's such a powerful trope for women and for men."
Shoes, Steele said, are "fierce," but also feminine, high and often striving for that "Cinderella factor" that can transform the wearer. It's all "quite delightful," she smiled. "It just makes you want to run out and go shoe shopping."

Hartford Mayor Pedro E. Segarra said 100 percent of the streets were passable after Blizzard Charlotte, and now the focus is on the sidewalks to make sure students can get to school.
"We are going to be working very hard through the night and into tomorrow to clean up our sidewalks and make our streets a little bit safer for our kids," Segarra said at the Emergency Operations Center Tuesday night.
Hartford Public Schools are closed for Wednesday.
City workers are using 24 contractors, 35 plow trucks and 26 payloaders to haul a lot of the snow out of Hartford.
"We will get there," Segarra said.
A parking ban remains in Hartford until noon on Wednesday in downtown and midnight Thursday for the rest of the city.
More than 200 cars have been towed and about 400 people have received citations.
"But for the most part, all the cars are off the roads," Segarra said.
Segarra told Eyewitness News that the city's snow budget is almost completely depilated and is hoping to get 75 percent reimbursement from the federal government. The Federal Emergency Management Agency would put the city just within the budget.
Members of the Connecticut National Guard were clearing snow on Prospect Street. More guardsmen and women are expected in Hartford Wednesday morning.

With the help of True North Salmon Company, our Canadian supplier, we are working towards WiseSource Salmon meeting or exceeding the standards currently being developed by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC). Check back soon!
Now you can enjoy your favourite salmon raised according to leading practices of aquaculture today*.
*WiseSource salmon is raised using Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) in the Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick. IMTA is a practice whereby Atlantic salmon is grown with other species from different levels of the food chain, such as seaweeds, shellfish and other invertebrates. According to the research efforts lead by Dr. Thierry Chopin from the University of New Brunswick (www.unbsj.ca/sase/biology/chopinlab) and his team, the IMTA process helps provide healthier waters through a balanced ecosystem management approach.
Now available (ON, QUE, ATL in your nearest Loblaws, Zehrs, Provigo, Real Atlantic Superstore.
Watch the video below to learn more about the research effort behind WiseSource™ Salmon and Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA). You'll get a chance to meet the lead of the large interdisciplinary team, Dr. Thierry Chopin, from the University of New Brunswick, as he walks through the True North Salmon Company aquaculture site, describing the various components of the technology. This ten year research effort started in 2001, showing Canadian leadership in the efforts of providing healthier waters through a balanced ecosystem management approach.
This is a diagram of an integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) operation which illustrates how WiseSource™ Salmon is grown. It shows how a combination of varying levels of the food chain share the environment and take advantage of organic and inorganic nutrients made available by the various organisms. IMTA involves cultivating fed species with extractive species that utilize the inorganic and organic materials from aquaculture for their growth. The mix of organisms from different levels of the food chain mimics the functioning of natural ecosystems, and this overall balanced process is what helps to provide healthier waters.

Thread: Greg Jennings to visit Minnesota
Greg Jennings to visit Minnesota
Greg Jennings visiting the Vikings | ProFootballTalk
Haven't been on this site in a while, so I haven't been able to voice my opinion. I'm still pissed about the Percy Harvin trade. I think when you have someone young and potentially the cornerstone of your franchise, its your job to keep him happy. He is most definitely a game changer and I don't see us replacing him with a player of his caliber at his position with the 25th overall pick or with our other 2 picks.
Watching games I understand how he would feel frustrated with play calling (bubble screen or end around almost every other drive). Teams most definitely were aware when it was coming and I think this is exposed him to injury more so taking all these unnecessary hits. And maybe Ponder not being able to make a simple a throw as that was also a big contributor. However its all said and done so there is nothing we can do now.
I do like a lot of moves Spielman has made thus far. Although, he hasn't made any big splashes in free agency, if we can get Jennings for the right price, I'll be extremely pleased.None
If we get Jennings I will definitely consider this offseason a success. That includes the Harvin trade, because I think Jennings + Wright > Harvin + Wright, mostly because they are more complimentary. I would be OK with them opening up the wallet for Jennings too, because our need at WR is that bad.
Zeus wrote:
When are you going to realize that picking out the 20 bad throws this year and ignoring the 300 good ones does not make your point?
We should make a strong push for Danario Alexander too... just saying.
Can't hurt to have a 6'5" wideout that can make plays.Disclaimer: I'm an idiot.
Greg Jennings reportedly visiting Minnesota Vikings - NFL.com
The trip to Minnesota might signify that Jennings and his advisors have acknowledged that the market is scarce on $10 million-plus contracts this offseason.
The Green Bay Press-Gazette reported Wednesday that the Green Bay Packers are still "strongly in the running" to re-sign their star receiver.
I think GB might be floating that 10mil a season rumor just to drive up the price on the Vikings. No way is Jennings worth 10mill a year. 8mill max. Jennings isn't coming here for less money than he could get to stay in GB. I'm hopeful that the Vikings are on top of this and in no way falling for the trap.
How many 1,000yd recievers has green bay had since Rodgers took over the team?
Have to also remember, that Jennings said he wants to play indoors, or somewhere warm. That gives a team like the Vikings the advantage.
Pretty sure I read somewhere that the Pack had an offer on the table in the 10/year range...so, I have to wonder, how much more per year would it take to move him from home and from Rodgers to Ponder!??
Tho he's a great player when healthy, and would instantly be our no.1 option and go-to guy, I'm not sure we can afford it without more cuts...according to my hazy math, we're at about 117 mill now, or about right where we need to be to sign our draft picks...?
Minnesota Vikings - 2013 Cap Hits
It says we're lower, but if you scroll down, you'll see Felton, Berger and Simpson's numbers have not been added yet.
You can't imagine they would just up and cut a guy like Jared Allen do you!? Have to think we'd try to trade him for something if we were even considering it!? Perhaps, K-Will's contract is next up for the chopping block? Hopefully, maybe, they've talked restructuring with both and have at least a preliminary agreement in place...?
Seems to me, that we're likely to see more changes to this team before "off-season" ends...Control the line, control the time, and give your D a chance to shine!!
"Balance it on end and thats the third side of the coin!!" -wookiefoot
just a tidbit of info. Charlie Johnson counts for over 4.3 mil in cap space....

BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Aug. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Bongo International announced today they recently received the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) Level 1 Service Provider Certification, the highest certification level for payment data security in the eCommerce industry.
Ecommerce software provider 3DCart is teaming up with international shipping expert Bongo International to extend its suite of international shipping solutions.

Are you looking for an easy way to accept international orders? does shipping internationally or the possibility of fraud discourage you from servicing international consumers?
The whole world is "window shopping" on U.S. websites, but few offshore shoppers are converted to buyers. According to Forrester Research, 25% of U.S. web traffic comes from international shoppers, but the actual orders from such shoppers are only 4% of total U.S. web sales.
Since Jelly Belly Candy Co.'s redesigned site launched in early June, conversion rate from search engine traffic has jumped 38% and average order value is up 15%, says e-commerce director Jason Marrone. About 65% of total traffic comes from search engines, he adds.
