Facebook scammers punt fake 'sexy vid' of Emma Watson
Re: That talk
Let it all out, dude. Squeeze all that bile and pus right out. It's good to talk.
ARM gives Internet of Things a piece of its mind – the Cortex-M7
Re: This is a great time for tinkerers
Yea, it's better times for pros, too. The market for embedded sw engineers, and especially those with some low power and/ or security knowledge, is looking quite rosy at present. Most good people have been sucked in and blown out of the mobile industry over the last few years. That's now a nightmare, as mobile races to the bottom.
But just recently, it's become clear that we may be able to avoid Linux just a bit longer...
Google grand fromage Eric Schmidt: Backing climate denier lobby a 'mistake'
They are the worst.
Those who make money from scientific achievement, and then deny science when it comes to climate, those people should be the first against the wall. Let's remember their names. And we certainly won't find that particular history on Google, in a few years...
ENTIRE UNIVERSE created in supercomputer. Not THIS universe (probably)
Re: We could be in a simulation
We could be. But that theory adds no new explanations for what we observe. Moreover, it would require additional explanations, if true. Hence, we choose to drop it. Please just drop it. It's old and boring. Like me.
Great picture - good work.
Chip daddy Mead: 'A bunch of big egos' are strangling science
Re: Ego
...unlike the rest of human kind, which acts with selfless, imaginative, quiet humility, content to spread happiness and peace throughout the land.
ICO: How 'sensitive' is personal data? Depends what it's used for...
How 'sensitive'? Not very.
It seems to me that the IT industry will be always be utterly, incompetently, and completely incapable of implementing these subtle rules.
The only realistic way ahead is to "get down with the kids". We have to start accepting that we won't have private information, except that which we keep in a diary, maybe. Once the psychological hurdle is jumped, it's easy. All the Information Commissioners, lawyers and "security specialists" [haha] lose their jobs. So what?

Boeing 787 fleet grounded indefinitely as investigators stumped
control and actuation are different things...
No. You're confusing control with actuation. Electronics cannot do what hydraulics does. And most car breaking systems these days are controlled by electronic detection of a loss of traction - a skid.
If this problem is the battery, then it should be relatively easy to solve, although the logic of using a battery capable of sustaining its own combustion is very questionable.
If, as seems more likely, it's the charge and management electronics, then it could be total nightmare.
I genuinely wish you Good Luck, guys.
Anti-virus products are rubbish, says Imperva
Re: @DJ
Ok, wow, so it seems the evidence is overwhelming. And you present it so well. Thank you.
Yes, hundreds upon hundreds of websites CAN all be wrong
Re: Comprehension
Haha great story! Mind you, that's how many people approached Bob Dylan's music, including me. It was that wonderfully awful nazal grind he made - it just seemed to grow on you, like smoking.
It's not an Interweb thing...
This is not an Internet phenomenon. There have always been sources you can trust, and sources you can't. It's nothing new. That's why in science and medicine for example, the peer review "chain of trust" is fundamental. (Of course, it too breaks down sometimes.)
So the Internet just gives us more and quicker, not better. But I thought everyone knew that..?
2012: The year that netbooks DIED
Re: I remember the whole matter differently
Agreed. It's an odd article.
Also- "Underpowered Intel Atom processors made netbooks useless as number crunchers..."
Well, duh. The clue is in the name.
Netbooks died because the functionality 99% of people want is now standard in phones and tablets - even cheaper and more portable.

Since you have "had the luxury throughout my life never to have experienced what he went through." then why the hell do you find his views "remarkable"? There's more to life than being a diplomat. Idiot.

Re: Always nice to see an oscilloscope

Bash Street bytes: Do UK schools really need the Raspberry Pi?
Re: @blcollier
"Are you really suggesting we should be teaching school children how to program an OS?"
If he's not, I certainly am. The point about the Pi is that a few hundred lines of bare-metal code can make it flash an LED, beep a speaker, detect a finger, detect a light source etc etc. And that is where it all starts for kids. On that simple beginning everything else can stand. Over a number of school years, a complete school OS could be built, and the relevant hardcore Computer Science introduced as appropriate. That's how to teach computing.
We have forgotten that an "OS" can be simple and elegant. Of course, any single board computer could have fulfilled this role equally at any time over the last 20 years.The noise and b'llsh't of the likes of corporate MS have perverted what happens in schools. (And for balance, Linux is far too large and complex to play any part of early school learning. These are tools.)
Businessweek: 'It's Global Warming, Stupid'

We draw our own conclusions.

O2 network staggers across UK
Re: Don't mean to be a bore..
The HT is required at very low power, and easily derived from step-up conversion. 90 volt batteries for HT valve supplies were common for this purpose in the after-war years. Now of course, electronics is used to generate it from the 12 volt vehicle supply. That step-up conversion electronics *could* be valve, in the extreme case. And then you would only require semiconductors to get things going. (I'm not saying I've got such a set-up... but it's all feasible!)
Re: Don't mean to be a bore..
I guess you don't know much about CB. And yes.
Don't mean to be a bore..
...but can anyone point me to govt. policy over what happens when the sh't really does hit the fan? [Pick 1 or more of early AM asteroid strike/ terrorist A bomb/ volcanic eruption/ Resident Evil scenario etc]. Given any national emergency, we know the mobile networks and internet will disappear faster than Jimmy Savile's CRB pass certificate. And I don't have any greater faith in digital broadcast. So what do the people do? (Personally, I'm keeping my valve CB in working order.. breaker break..) But is anyone on this case??
Google's Nexus 7 tabs 'can't perform' if flash RAM crammed
Re: WTF...
Errr, what? My comment was flippant...
As far as I can see, the forum discussions concern what happens when the file system starts to fill up, (so flash is implied). The article here is fine - it quite reasonably assumes we're discussing flash. The title is confusing, that's all.
I don't see what relevance that link has, unless the world is already more complicated than I thought... which could well be the case!
....is flash RAM?
NZ beaks give climate skeptics the bird
Don't tell anyone but...
...just because climate sceptics have a setback, or even, ultimately, are shown to be completely wrong, do not for one minute be misled into thinking that means there is no global scientific conspiracy to promote the theory of man-made climate change. That would be a big mistake…

Online Christmas orders from retailers go titsup
There's a FAQ on Fortnum's website which reads...

would be more FA. Odd how these useless sites are always ASP stuff.

Intel 320 SSD bug causes forum despair
So wear levelling is required...
in a HDD? Maybe I'm missing something.
Failure modes in HDDs...
are well understood, and by and large unrelated to usage patterns. OTOH writing to a flash cell accelerates its failure, making it inherently harder to predict. Wear levelling slows things down, adds complexity, and virtually removes any hope of secure deletion. It's a bodge to fix a poor technology.
SSD... SSucker's Drive.
Recipe for faster, smaller and more reliable drive:
1) Take one fundamentally dodgy technology. Ideally, this should exhibit at least 2 complex failure modes: i) random failures which exist at the point of manufacture, ii) random failures which develop over random time.
2) Add a complex software layer to mask failures from application.
3) Slowly realise that complexity reduces reliability and speed.
4) Suddenly realise that software layer makes secure deletion impossible.
5) Stop and wait for something better.

macho men of "science"
What I find most scary in the debate on here is how people with such a supposedly solid grasp of the science have such utter contempt for those expressing natural human fears.
This contempt seems to be a macho thing: Hey, I understand everything, and therefore fear nothing. Oh, and look at my huge dick.
Those who do dangerous things know it's often fear which keeps them alive. Brave people finding leaks in reactors fear. But they also know more about the job in hand than anyone spouting their macho garbage on here.

The concept of 'cis' privilege falsely situates gender-conforming men and women as equals, relative to self-identified trans people. This is problematic for radical feminists because trans politics prioritises the oppression of gender non-conformity through trans as the primary source of gender oppression. Conversely, feminists prioritise women's oppression as the primary axis of gender-based oppression (ie. gay men being in danger because they could be perceived as women-like). Certainly, gender non-conformity is dangerous for everyone—trans identified or not (ie. butch lesbians). But gender-conformity is dangerous to women in ways that it is not dangerous to men, according to the radical feminists: women are targeted as women regardless of whether they gender conform or not while men are never targeted as men. Men are only targeted when they are gender non-conforming.
Julian Vigo, Gaslighting in the Age of 'Misgendering'
Such a beautiful, lucid, and concise refutation of cis privilege. Love it!

Teenager Chris Kreis Hitches a Ride on a 30 Foot Whale Shark
Chris Kreis, a 19-year-old native of Florida, has captured the headlines for his adventurous encounter with a 30-foot whale shark while he was out fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. The video of Kreis jumping out from his boat to take a ride on the 30-foot shark has gone viral on Youtube and has been viewed by 277,161 people.
Like Us on Facebook
On spotting the world's largest fish, Kreis grabbed the opportunity and jumped onto the whale shark's fin and rode on it for 20 seconds before it disappeared in the water. This journey of Kreis was recorded by his friends aboard the boat who later posted the video on Youtube.
"When I started holding on I felt the whale shark, it started moving itself, it felt the drag and it didn't really want me on there so I let go and that's it," Kreis was quoted in NBC2.
Kreis didn't violate any laws by hitching a ride on the whale shark as they are not endangered or a protected species. But a marine biologist Bruce Neill is not happy and says that it was not the right thing to do as he could have inadvertently injured the fish.
"When people spend a lot of time and pressure on a fish it takes away a slime that covers the fish. They need that layer to stay healthy," Neill said to NBC2.
He continued explaining that these fish feed only on plankton but their large size could have been dangerous for Kreis.
Whale sharks are slow moving and extra large fish that grow to more than 40 feet in length. They live in the open sea have a lifespan of not more than 70 years.

UK.biz lax on web app security
Web application security among UK corporates is getting worse, according to audits carried out by CESG-accredited security consultancy NTA Monitor. NTA Monitor reports a ten percentage point increase in the total number of web applications found to have at least one high-risk security issue. A quarter (27 per cent) of all web …
Apache / Mod Security
If you're using Apache then also check out "Mod Security". This can help block many types of http attack and prevent information leaks if someone does manage to break in.
"DOS Evasive" is also a good one to try, but it seems to have gone AWOL from (what was) its offical web site so you will need to do some digging to find it. Alternatively, you could configure your firewall (pf, if you're using OpenBSD - and why wouldn't you?) to help mitigate DoS attacks.

"And I hope you've learned to sanitize your database inputs."
All user-supplied data should be properly sanitised
If you have a free text input field then it should accept all characters no matter which ones they are. You can't tell someone their name is wrong because it contains something that conflicts with your shitty coding/database.
Parameters...That is all.
How in God's name ...
... are SQL injection attacks even still possible these days and who are these numpties that are churning out these shitty webapps that swallow any old user input and without bothering to sanitise it? HOW are they even getting past the interview stage?
I mean, even trusty old Python running as CGI (nothing fancy, nothing cutting edge) can automatically and reliably sanitise the stream if you ask it to, without any further work from the developer.
This is simply silly. Anyone doing such piss-poor development should be not only dismissed but also possibly be held legally accountable for their irresponsible work.
Its not the development language in use or the paradigm, its simply not knowing what they are doing.
Don't get it.
Developers commission security test. Test finds vulnerability. Vulnerability is fixed. Fuss over nothing.
One explanation of the results might be that people who didn't take security seriously before are now doing testing for the first time.
Let's see some results from a survey of hackers to get a true picture of the security landscape.

Talk:Halloween Spells
So what can stack on a single item?
Well, as the subject says, what can stack and what can't?
This would probably be important for the main page.
BeAuMaN 01:22, 28 October 2012 (PDT)
I believe that up to three spells can stack on a hat or weapon, though there are some restrictions. For instance, you can't use multiple voice changing spells to deepen your voice even lower, but you could combine one with Halloween Spell: Headless Horseshoes and Halloween Spell: Sinister Staining. So, overall, you can't combine two of the same type of spell.
Alloid, 2:43, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
Merge all potions info into this page?
It seems a lot more convenient that way, than to have individual pages of each potion. It could look like this:
I apologize for the weird format I made up (editing-wise), but I'm not really that intelligent at making formats, and I'm sure there's probably some kind of better format than this... AbeX300 07:46, 28 October 2012 (PDT)
- Support I think it's appropriate, rather than having 7 different almost empty pages for these time-limited tools (I'd personally extend this to the voodoo-cursed items and the past Misterious Treasures from the Pyromania update BTW).--Kid Of The Century 04:50, 31 October 2012 (PDT)
Paint Spells
When Paint spells expire do they revert back to a previous paint or do they revert to default no paint? Nintyuk 10:49, 28 October 2012 (PDT)
Good question. I suppose someone with skills can debug and find this out? BeAuMaN 12:06, 28 October 2012 (PDT)
I used a spell on my painted gibus, and it reverted back to the paint. When using third party inventory viewers, it was the additional effect of being under a spell, not a paint effect. Pognet 08:16, 11 December 2012 (PST)
I think we should make a demonstration video for these effects. At least some images of the effects if this isn't a good idea. Neg 11:15, 30 October 2012 (PDT)
I agree. Perhaps we can start with pictures and then example videos. DC64 (talk) 15:13, 26 January 2014 (PST)
Requested move
Halloween Items like Halloween Masks, Halloween Costumes and Voodoo-Cursed Items used in plural.
So, I don't see any reason for not making this article in plural too (by the way all spells with Vocal Effects using the word «spell» in description in plural).
ANGEL_UNDEAD 05:39, 26 November 2012 (PST)
Next halloween event
Does anyone know that the spells will be available during the next halloween event? If yes, after the event, will the glitched spells from 2012 expire, or only the new, which will have the "This item will expire on Nov 10 2013" attribute? Klenium (talk) 04:03, 20 September 2013 (PDT)
- We wouldn't really know. Most of that is valve's decision. Also, This kind of discussion would better on SPUF. Ashes (talk) 06:35, 20 September 2013 (PDT)
High time we merged some of these
Most pages, such as the paint spells and voice changers can easily fit on one page. Many of them don't even have correct backpack icons, just showing a blank bottle. I can start merging these as soon as the paint overlays can be duplicated outside of tf2. Maybe in hlmv? --Piemanmoo 02:25, 12 November 2013 (PST)
- Yes, I agree. Most of these sub spells page are stubs and cannot put any information. Also I think if merge, it'll be a lot easier to update the history. Rikka Takanashi (talk) • (contributions) 03:16, 12 November 2013 (PST)
Voice change spells?
The spells that lower the pitch, can the percentage of change be found in game files or by an educated guess? Do the different voice spells (ie: Medi or Heavy) differ in pitch change? DC64 (talk) 18:10, 30 March 2014 (PDT)
more merge talk
having read the conversations regarding merging the individual spell pages into Halloween Spells, I took it upon myself to make a test page within my userspace.
for spells that apply the same effect to different classes (i.e. voice spells, pumpkinbomb spells) I used the name of the attribute they grant in their item entry on the right of the page. what does everyone think? --Kincyr (talk) 19:08, 13 May 2014 (PDT)
I think we should add the colors that spells use. Like #E7B53B for gold paint, and #476291 for vintage items. Is there a list of them? Klenium (talk) 08:55, 21 June 2014 (PDT)
- The colors are difficult to do as some of them change colors which require a .gif which on the wiki, kinda eats up a bit.... So its best to hold on it for now. Ashes (talk) 12:26, 21 June 2014 (PDT)

Viviana Celeste is absolutely beautiful. The flow and imagery are fabulous. Viviana is also a nice bridge between familiar and uncommon, as Vivian and Vivienne are heard a lot while Viviana is not. My second choice would be Cecelia Carys, but it's far behind Viviana Celeste. Celeste Araceli is also beautiful, but the double celestial meaning is a bit much for me.Loving right now:

Welcome to BurritoBison.org. Burrito Bison is really a simplistic and fun game. This simplistic game uses only the left mouse button.
Just once you thought you're totally free of Candy Land forever,it becomes clear that those gummy bear-stards stole your wallet. Launch Burrito Bison as far as possible, bounce on enemies, destroy as many gummies as you can, kick smash giant doors and gummy bear butts to flee the dreadful Candy Land.
You do this by bouncing on escaping gummy bears and gaining as much speed as you can. The issue here is the ability to keep up with the speed you have. Because you will lose the speed by bouncing on the ground (ouch) or getting on police man gummies.
After every run, you can use the money you have collected on purchasing new kinds of special enemies and upgrading skills. By upgrading and purchasing them, you are making them arrive more regularly during runs.
Each some of those special enemies are associated with a Mini-game of sorts.Basically, the Mini-games in Burrito Bison request you to perform certain actions using your the mouse button. If you do this successfully, you will get more height and speed So land on those as frequently as is possible.
How to Play Burrito Bison Game:
- Use your left mouse button or Press SPACE BAR at the white part of the spinner to launch Burrito Bison as far as you can.
- Use the mouse click or Space bar to use the rocket slams gummies, boost and keep your speed.
- More detail will display while you play to get a speed boost.

Boehner's debt ceiling crisis would be so much worse than you think
There's some chance that House Speaker John Boehner's threat to provoke another debt-ceiling crisis doesn't much matter. If it does matter, it's only because fiscal policy has already gone very, very wrong.
As Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Tuesday, "we're likely to hit the debt limit sometime before the end of the year, but Congress has given the executive branch a set of tools that buy them some time. And those tools will probably take us into the early part of 2013, thus separating somewhat the timing of the expiry of the tax cuts and the sequester with the ultimate need for Congress to act on the debt limit."
In other words, the Bush tax cuts expire on Dec. 31. The automatic spending cuts begin on Dec. 31. The debt ceiling likely won't come due till February, or perhaps even March. So the scenario in which we reach a debt ceiling showdown is a scenario in which the two parties have already failed to come to an agreement on spending and taxes.
That is to say, it's a scenario in which we've already reached the fiscal cliff and fallen over the edge. It's a scenario in which the Bush tax cuts have probably expired, and the spending cuts have probably begun. It's a scenario in which the markets are already in some amount of turmoil, and the forecasters are already sharply warning that Congress is dragging the country into a double-dip recession. It's a scenario in which the two parties are already under tremendous pressure, in which Washington has been in some sort of semi-crisis for months, and in which all the possible deals have already been tried and failed. (It's also a scenario, incidentally, in which our projected deficits are much lower, because our expected tax revenues are so much higher.)
The alternative possibility is that Congress has passed, and the president has signed, some sort of short-term patch to prevent the tax cuts from expiring and the spending cuts from triggering. But Boehner just radically reduced the odds of that: Why would Democrats patch the Bush tax cuts, which give them leverage, just so Boehner could provoke a debt-ceiling crisis in order to give his party leverage?
So we're not likely to have a "debt-ceiling crisis." We're either likely to solve our fiscal problems early in the year in way that defuses Boehner's debt-ceiling threat or we're likely to spend 2013 in a state of permanent crisis in which Congress lights the economy on fire by failing on the Bush tax cuts, the automatic spending cuts, the debt ceiling, and the appropriation bills needed to keep the federal government open.
That's not a scenario that looks like August 2011, when the debt ceiling was the only thing on the docket. It's an economic crisis that looks more like September 2008, when Lehman was collapsing. And in that world, it's so hard to predict the resulting financial chaos, public outrage, interest group pressure, and political terror that it's almost impossible to say anything about how the crisis would be resolved, or who might benefit.

With both the Republican and Democratic National Conventions over, the next two months are going to be all about the importance of going out to the polls and voting on Election Day (November 6th--mark your calendar if you haven't done so yet)!
Actress Scarlett Johansson spoke at the DNC last night about why you, the younger generation, have an important voice in this country that can be heard loudly by voting.
"In 2008, less than half of all eligible voters between the ages of 18 and 24 voted," Scarlett declared. "Young America, why are we only speaking with half our voice when so many issues at stake directly affect us?"
She went on to add, "Today there are people out there trying to take away rights that our mothers, our grandmothers and our great-grandmothers fought for...our right to choose, our right to affordable quality education, equal pay, access to health care. And we the people can't let that happen."
Have you been following the election? Are you old enough to vote? Will you be getting to the polls on November 6th?

I don't know what God is, or what God had in mind when the universe was set in motion. In fact, I don't know if God even exists, although I confess that I sometimes find myself praying in times of great fear, or despair, or astonishment at a display of unexpected beauty. There are some ten thousand religious sects — each with its own cosmology, each with its own answer for the meaning of life and death. Most assert that the other 9,999 not only have it completely wrong but are instruments of evil, besides. None of the ten thousand has yet persuaded me to make the requisite leap of faith. In the absence of conviction, I've come to terms with the fact that uncertainty is an inescapable corollary of life. An abundance of mystery is simply part of the bargain — which doesn't strike me as something to lament. Accepting the essential inscrutability of existence, in any case, is surely preferable to its opposite: capitulating to the tyranny of intransigent belief. And if I remain in the dark about our purpose here, and the meaning of eternity, I have nevertheless arrived at an understanding of a few modest truths: Most of us fear death. Most of us yearn to comprehend how we got here, and why — which is to say, most of us ache to know the love of our creator. And we will no doubt feel that ache, most of us, for as long as we happen to be alive.
— Jon Krakauer
I love you, not just for now, but for always, and I dream of the day that you'll take me in your arms again.

THURSDAY, Nov. 10 (HealthDay News) -- A program that helps
elementary school students develop cooking skills while learning
subjects such as geography, math, science and cultural studies may
be one way to fight the growing problem of childhood obesity in the
United States.
In a new study, researchers assessed an experimental
food-and-nutrition education program called Cooking with Kids, in
which students explore, prepare and enjoy fresh, affordable foods
from a number of cultures. The program also teaches students the
social skills of working together to prepare a meal and then
enjoying it together.
The study included 178 fourth-grade students and their teachers
who were interviewed before and after a series of
cooking-plus-tasting or tasting-only classes that were integrated
into the normal school curriculum.
Teachers and students who took part in both types of food
classes found it to be a positive experience, and those who had the
cooking classes said it gave them opportunities to improve their
social skills.
Students who had the cooking-plus-tasting classes did not regard
cooking-related tasks at home as chores, unlike those who had the
tasting-only classes or those who had neither type of food class,
the University of Colorado researchers said.
The study appears in the November/December issue of the
Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior.
"This study describes student and teacher perceptions about the integration of nutrition education programs with academic curriculum topics, which is essential in justifying nutrition education's continued place in the school curriculum. It documents the importance of including cooking in school curriculum as it is a practical mechanism to promote health, social and educational skills to better prepare students for adulthood." said Leslie Cunningham-Sabo, an assistant professor at Colorado State University, in a journal news release.
Childhood obesity in the United States has tripled over the past
30 years, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, the release noted.

Decemberists in January
Today brings us the first taste of the Decemberists next LP, The Hazards of Love, in the form of a free song from the album titled "The Rake's Song." In case you might begin to think Meloy has gone off the deep end singing about garden tools, remember of course this is Colin Meloy so he's actually using the more literary sense of the word, a man habituated to immoral conduct. Now that sounds more like it.
The Hazards of Love arrives March 24, 2009. The Decemberists will be announcing spring tour dates shortly.

Today the New York Yankees placed starting first baseman Mark Teixeira on the 15 day disabled list. Teixeira suffered a strained right hamstring during the Yankees game Friday night against the Toronto Blue Jays.
It has been reported that Tex will undergo an MRI on Monday when the team returns to New York for their first home game of the season.
Teixeira said he is "not super optimistic" about his hamstring, but hopes it feels better tomorrow. MRI on Monday in NYC.
— Bryan Hoch (@BryanHoch) April 5, 2014
I would not be "super optimistic" about Teixeira returning in only 15 days with his injury history and that statement, but the team, and its fan base, should hope that he is back sooner rather than later.
It has also been reported that the Yankees will use Kelly Johnson at first base the majority of the time until Teixeira can return.
Teixeira has been an extremely productive player in his career, but in recent season he has had a hard time staying on the field to help the Yanks having played only 123 games in 2012 and a meager 15 games in 2014. The Yankees were hoping to have Tex healthy all season this year to help ease the loss of Robinson Cano from the Yankee lineup. He also is a tremendous defensive first baseman, arguably the best in the game, having won five gold glove awards in his career.
Teixeira averages 33 home runs and 119 RBI in his career per 162 games played as compared to Johnson who averages 19 homers and 68 RBI per 162 games played.

Books for a Summer Season: Some Recommended Reading
- Friday, June 07, 2013
7. Allen C. Guelzo, Gettysburg: The Last Invasion (Knopf).
The Civil War, historian Allen Guelzo reminds us, was a war. Yes, it was a great turning point in American history and a transformative event that reshaped the nation. But, it was a war, after all, and wars are determined by battles. The battle of Gettysburg is not only the most famous of those battles, but perhaps the most determinative. In this magisterial new account of Gettysburg, Guelzo brings his vast knowledge of the Civil War to the story of this singular battle. The background to this crucial battle was both military and political. Had Robert E. Lee succeeded, an invasion of the North would have been difficult to stop and demands for a political settlement of the war would have gained massive momentum. Lincoln knew that his political prospects and his conviction that the Union must be preserved were on the line.
In telling the story of Gettysburg, Guelzo considers the raft of controversies that remain even today. More importantly, he puts Gettysburg within the context of the larger war — a story he told so well in Fateful Lightning: A New History of the Civil War and Reconstruction. Readers will find Gettysburg: The Last Invasion to be a definitive account of the battle and its legacy. Guelzo, Henry R. Luce Professor of the Civil War Era and Director of Civil War Studies at Gettysburg College, is uniquely qualified to write this ambitious and worthy volume. Guelzo ends the book with an elegant and moving chapter on Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.
"And then came Gettysburg. It was not merely that Gettysburg finally delivered a victory, or that it administered a bloody reverse to Southern fortunes at the point and in the place where they might otherwise have scored their greatest triumph, or that it had come at such a stupendous cost in lives. It was that the monumental scale of the bloodletting was its own refutation to the old lie, that a democracy enervates the virtue of its people to then point where they are unwilling to do more than blinkingly look to their own personal self-interest."
8. Dean King, The Feud: The Hatfields & McCoys, The True Story (Little, Brown).
Last summer, I recommended Blood Feud by Lisa Alther, a very interesting account of the famous feud between the Hatfields and the McCoys. Now, just a year later, I am recommending a second book on the same historical event. Why? Because the real story of the feud between the Hatfields and the McCoys deserves a second account — this one even more detailed and expansive than the last. Like Davy Crockett, the Hatfield-McCoy feud exists as a cartoon of sorts in the American mind. In reality, it was nothing of the sort. The feud was a representation of the feudal culture that existed on the border between Scotland and England, now transferred to the border between Kentucky and West Virginia. As Dean King notes, the bloody conflict has spawned a feud of arguments ever since.
King is an experienced writer. His previous works, Skeletons on the Zahara and Unbound were adventure tales, and The Feud is told in a similar style, but with a depth of research and detail that sets it apart from previous accounts of the feud. King's research for the book involved extensive interviews with surviving members of both families. He traces the context of the Civil War, deep Appalachian poverty, and an honor culture that sounds more like something out of Afghanistan today. The Feud is filled with an unforgettable cast of historical characters, even as the story of their lives unfolds in such great tragedy.

However bittersweet the end is, there is also a great reward in the three-day long celebration of 'Eid ul Fitr, where we can enjoy ... Read More »

Keema {Delicately Spiced Ground Beef}
The first time I ever had Keema (that wonderful Indian-spiced ground beef dish) was during one of my very first Suhoor (pre-dawn) meals with family friends.

Re: WWE: 2014 - Rise & Fall
JuulDK, to answer all your questions:
First of all regarding the matches being short. They're much longer now. I don't like to bore people with tons and tons of paragraphs. I'd rather keep it in the middle of short and long. Not too short but not too long either. With Pay-Per-Views I'll go a little bit more in depth with the matches.
Opening Segment: I thought that people would get that there could potentially be a match later in the night. With the confrontation between Punk and Cena. A match seemed highly likely. I would have done that, but Stone Cold interfered. What I'm doing with Cena is for a reason, you'll just have to keep reading to find out why. I have something planned for him. Punk fleeing was to generate him heat. If Punk began to run away from Stone Cold in real life, he'd get major heat for it. Just building him more up as a heel really. That's what I wanted to accomplish. Stone Cold coming out and giving a Stunner to Punk would have made him look weaker.
I wanted to get the rematch clauses out of the way. I know that sounds strange but it left the field open for me then and I didn't have to stick to the rematch clauses. It would have turned out to be a very predictable PPV and I didn't want that.
Edge as GM was done because I've always wanted to see Edge as the GM. There may be something down the line for him and he may have an involvement in some storylines, keep watching for that.
Regarding the world title match, Ziggler uses the neckbreaker, mostly does it when swinging. I've already established about the matches being short. I'm improving that in later shows.
Regarding Undertaker and the streak match, keep reading. I'll be dropping hints along the way. I agree with you on the Shield segment, it didn't turn out how I'd planned and became cluttered. I probably rushed it and didn't think about it.
No, I established Reigns was the US Champion, he won it in June of 2013. It says it in the original post. Reigns was involved in the WrestleMania match and his title was being defended under a freebird rule.
Kaitlyn gets her rematch because of Paige causing a DQ early on. Read SmackDown and you'll see!
Keep watching Team Rhodes Scholars, I have plans for them. Keep reading on and you'll get what I mean!
The match ending with an emotionless Cena was done for a reason too. This is all leading to a huge Cena storyline down the line.
My matches get better through the shows and better laid out.
Thanks for the feedback. I hope you enjoy the other shows more! I'll definitely check yours out!

Re: WWE: 2014 - Rise & Fall
April 21st, 2014
Michigan; Detroit – Joe Louis Arena
TONIGHT ON RAW: We will discover the reason behind the WWE Champion CM Punk's absence and who will be the challenger to the WWE Championship.
Michael Cole welcomes the viewers to RAW and CM Punk's music hits and he makes his way to the ring. There is huge excitement in the arena. Punk has a microphone in hand ready to talk.
So I've been told that there's some big announcement tonight regarding my WWE Championship. I don't care what it is and more importantly I don't care who the challenger is either. Give me anyone and I'll just embarrass them. Just like I embarrassed Steve Austin at WrestleMania. Instead of booing me right now you should be chanting 'Best In The World' because that's what I am and I deserve--
Edge's music hits and he makes his way to the ring with Punk, Edge has a microphone in hand.
So, Punk as you know I'm making an announcement tonight regarding that (Edge points to the WWE Championship) and that announcement is going to be right now. At Extreme Rules you're going to defend your championship in a Championship Scramble the participants in that match will be determined tonight in a series of qualifying matches. Good luck, Punk.
Punk is raged at this announcement and angrily watches Edge as he leaves the ring.
~Commercial Break~

~Commercial Break~
Back from Commerical Break, Striker is with Christian backstage.
Please, welcome my guest at this time, Christian. So, Christian you didn't manage to capture the Intercontinental Title last week because of what Ryback hitting you with the steel chair and getting disqualified. What are you thoughts on that and do you think he'll do it tonight?
Matt, I encourage him to get disqualified or counted out tonight. Edge last week stated that if he does either of those, I'll gain the Championship. There's no way I'm letting the Championship slip from my fingers tonight. I've got this.
Thanks Christian, good luck.

: John, it was a cheap way to win.
~Commercial Break~

~Commercial Break~
We are back from commerical break and to a backstage segment with Team Rhodes Scholars
: I should have had won that match, I was *that* far away from capturing the win. I could have been the next WWE Champion.
: Listen, don't worry about that. We should be thinking about The Shield right now and also those Tag Team Championships. We rightfully deserve them.

Re: WWE: 2014 - Rise & Fall
Okay, Im about to take a look at those of your shows which I havent read yet. Ill comment as I read, but it wont be full reviews show for show like the first one I gave you, since it would take forever :P
SmackDown April 11th, 2014
I can already see that you have improved a lot from the show I first reviewed. Better length on the matches, more segments, and also improvements on hitting the characters although some of the superstars still werent in character all the time For example Ryback in the opening segment. As for the matches Im kinda starting to like how you make Paige look very furious and dangerous. The other matches were of good quality as well, but I didnt like how you made Reigns lose that quickly and how you keep making Ziggler look bad
Ryback defeating Jericho again, this time in a NO DQ match, was a good decision, but I wouldve liked to know that the match were gonna be for the Intercontinental Championship when Booker T booked it.
RAW April 14th, 2014
I have to say that I didnt get the Triple H segment, and he wasnt in character either. Triple H is a guy that can talk for hours without it getting boring, but here you just went from him talking about Evolution to suddenly out of nowhere saying that what he meant was that he wanted Shield to come down and fight. That didnt make sense. What happened next was okay though, with an Orton heel turn. Im not sure that Triple H would be knocked unconscious by a single RKO, but I get the picture. Id wish you would write with more emotions/feelings, as you kinda make everything sound very bold. As they are surrounding Triple H in the ring, Randy Orton runs out to aid Triple H., and The Shield looks like they were about to walk off when suddenly Orton hits an RKO on Triple H.. It all sounds like its no big deal. Christian returning was interesting, and a feel-good segment as he returns while Edge is GM. I dont know what it is, but the fact that you mention the Battle Royal in Christians return segment, and then afterwards have the commentators talk about only Christian, it makes me think that he will win it. Another match between Paige and Kaitlyn, and again for the Divas Championship?? Well, the match was good and again Paige looks dangerous and crazy. The Battle Royal was good to read. It was fairly well described, and as I said earlier I foresaw Christian winning. The segment with Ziggler and Bryan was okay, but again none of them were in character. And then Ryback vs. Christian?? I didnt read anywhere that you announced that the Battle Royal winner would be getting an Intercontinental Championship shot right after the Battle Royal?? Anyway, the match itself was quite good but I dont think Christian would be able to do so well against Ryback right after a Battle Royal. Ryback getting DQd was a good decision since Christian winning the championship would be too earlier and Christian loosing would ruin his return. I didnt get the Christian hits the Kiilswitch on Ryback and begins to build momentum-sentence Ive never heard of building momentum with your finisher. I thought you build momentum up to hit your finisher :P The last match was the match of the night, even though I think that a match like a 2-out-of-3 Falls match is too big for a normal televised show, especially when its not even in a feud. Ziggler winning 2-1 was great in my opinion, and Ziggler vs. Bryan at Extreme Rules could be good. Intrigued to hear the stipulation.
SmackDown April 18th, 2014
I have to applaud you on the Orton promo. In character, spot on, vicious. Good heel promo. But What happened afterwards I didnt get. Triple H attacks Orton from behind and then laughs, but moments later he leaves the arena inraged? Great Tag Team match with some good action and the right winner, as Shield retained. Booker stopping Orton from going home and then booking him against Sheamus was good. Good Divas Battle Royal action as well, and I like Natalya winning and then Paige attacking Natalya. I get the picture about Barretts promo, but he wasnt in character at all. The match itself was good and of course Ryback wins. Orton vs. Sheamus was good, but in my opinion too short. Orton winning was the right choice.
RAW April 21st, 2014
The opening was interesting with Punk returning and Edge then revealing that Punk will defend the WWE Championship in a Scramble match at Extreme Rules. I got a bit confused though as the quote before RAW got underway sad that we would discover the reason behind Punks absence, but no such reason was revealed?? Anyway, interested to see who Punk will be facing. Great match between Orton and Sheamus, although I wouldve preferred both of them getting in the scramble. Orton winning was obvious. Christian vs. Ryback again was okay. One thing though Never use the word kayfabe in a BTB. Ryback kicking out of the Killswitch makes him look strong. Ryback winning was okay and interesting way Dont get why Cole and Regal would call it cheating to slam someone onto the announcers table?? Rhodes vs. Del Rio was interesting and a decent match. Del Rio winning was good. Jericho vs. Big Show was good as well, but I dont like Jericho winning though. Cena vs. Henry was good reading as well, and interesting the way you had Cena win with a clean pinfall win over Henry. Punk vs. Orton vs. Del Rio vs. Jericho vs. Cena Interesting. I see Punk retaining.
Overall I think youve improved a lot. Your shows are way more interesting to read now. I like some of your storylines as well, but you do still have some work in front of you. For example if you insist on writing the shows in full format, you need to improve your skills to hit the superstars characters better. Study their ways to talk and compete. Also, make sure to announce stuff during the shows. What I mean is that you for example announced a Battle Royal for the #1 Contendership to the Intercontinental Championship, but nothing was said about the Intercontinental Championship match taking place right after the Battle Royal. And last, be very careful overusing stuff. In my opinion, and yes this is still just my opinion, I think youve been having way too many title matches and grudge matches in your five shows. Aftermatch attacks as well, or attacks in general. Youve had at least one title match per show so far, and an average of average of two-three attacks on each show. Thats way too much, and takes the interesting part away from it.

Re: WWE: 2014 - Rise & Fall
Thanks so much. Really appreciate it! I'll answer all your questions:
SmackDown – April 11th, 2014
Yeah, having Reigns lose that early was probably a bad decision. Ziggler doesn't look as bad in the future shows. Probably made a few bad decisions there too.
RAW – April 14th, 2014
I agree with you on the Triple H segment after re-reading it. I think you got what I was trying to accomplish though. I'm glad you liked the Orton turn, I've got a good storyline to go with this and it's going to be a slow burn one so you'll have to watch out for it in the upcoming weeks. Yeah, I agree with you on the emotion thing. I'm going to try and add more emotion in future shows.
Yeah I think I made Christian winning a bit obvious, but I don't think anyone would have thought I'd have him lose on his return. Christian gaining momentum after a finisher probably was stupid.
SmackDown – April 18th, 2014
Triple H was still in a raged state and I'd say it was sort of an evil laugh with Triple H saying "You don't know what you've got yourself in too." Triple H walking out raged was him fired up. Probably should have used 'Fired up'
RAW – April 21st, 2014
Ah, sorry about the absence part. Probably should have fixed that up. Cole and Regal called it cheating because Ryback didn't win cleanly and won by Count-Out. I wanted Jericho to win because Jericho and Punk have more history and it makes it interesting. H
Yeah, sorry about the title matches, grudge matches and way too many attacks. I'm still improving! Thanks so much for all the feedback it means a lot. I'll give detailed feedback on your Be the Booker too. I'm really trying to improve and this feedback helps a lot.
