- Through the looking glass: Teacher uses photography to introduce students to wonderland of creativity, success
A lot more than an image can be captured through the lens of a camera. A glimpse of human interaction can be frozen, a memory can be saved. A photographer is taught to pay attention to detail, to step away from a scene to catch the bigger picture, and how beauty is found in unexpected places. Photography teacher John Burrows teaches students not only how to search for these hidden meanings, but also how to find their own passion and spirit through learning. Because he struggled with school, Burrows' goal is to make learning relatable and interactive for his students so that education isn't as intimidating.
Disney recently released Big Hero 6 in theatres after its inception as a Marvel comic in 1998, giving it a second life. Disney's recent acquisition of Marvel enabled this as they now have the rights to the story. Overall, it was a good, solid film and contained good messages about problems that most people face at one point or another.
It may seem premature to declare the worst album of 2014 while it's only November, but this year I make an exception for Florida Georgia Line's Anything Goes. Florida Georgia Line is a country duo from Nashville that specializes in a newer breed of country music. Coined in 2013 by Jody Rosen as "Bro-country", this frankenstein of a genre is the sour mixture of hip-hop, pop, rock, and whatever's left of country music as each of the contending genres stir together a repulsive witches pot of terribleness.

Thor's hammer is a mythological weapon, said to have been wielded by the Norse god of thunder, allowing him the ability to fly and summon lightning against his foes. Thor was seen as a protector of humanity, fighting for what was just and right against formidable enemies; however, only those who were "worthy" could lift the hammer, thus gaining the power of Thor himself. Bryan High students have proved themselves worthy, lifting high their very own Thor's hammer.

From behind a frozen granite slab, the staff of Cold Stone Creamery uses twin spatulas to blend custom servings of ice cream and creative mix-ins to fit customers? exact specifications. Founded by Donald and Susan Sutherland in 1988, Cold Stone began under the hot Arizona sun, eventually spreading its frosty fingers to encompass more than 1,400 locations worldwide. Despite the size of the company, each location?s staff keeps up the handcrafted quality, making ice cream onsite every day and using those signature spatulas to create delicious pointillist art against the freezer wall.
White Velvet Frozen Yogurt tickles the milk of grass-fed Michigan cows with sprinkles of cane sugar until it giggles out rich, tart frozen yogurt. The tangy handcrafted semi-solid is then swirled into cups along with the tantalizing toppings of your choosing.

Thanks to its simple, natural ingredients, the treat can be low in calories, sugar, and fat, and contains all the health benefits associated with natural yogurt, making it a healthier alternative to ice cream and frozen corn dogs.
In 1989, with memories of his high-school job as an ice-cream shop attendant fresh in his mind, John Ritter founded Ritter's Frozen Custard to share his passion for the dense, creamy concoctions of his youth with a new generation of dessert lovers. Today, the Ritter Frozen Custard franchise remains dedicated to handcrafting frozen custard in batches that blend the treat's French origins with a heaping dose of midcentury Americana.

Saw Seal Machine saws, cleans and seals multiple joints in new concrete
Amanda Bayhi | February 14, 2014
Saw Seal has introduced its Saw Seal Machine, which saws, cleans and seals multiple joints simultaneously in new concrete pavement.
Unveiled at World of Concrete last month, the machine features a blade-only contact method that controls cracking as the concrete cures.
The machine's HEPA filtration vacuum system collects dust and airborne silica and stores it in a 55-gallon drum, while a compressed air nozzle cleans and dries the joint.
A Crafco EZ Series II 1500 melter applies sealant in the final stage based on the joint dimensions and travel speed of the machine.

Who knows about HID lights?
I'm considering running a HID system on my bike, just a thought at this point really, but I have a question...
My lights at the moment, are recommended for 35w H4 bulbs. I went with 55w bulbs, and have been lucky that these have not had any effect on the lights. I was a bit concerned they might burn/melt the surround or lens, but they've been fine.
So my question is, how much heat do HID bulbs generate in comparison to standard bulbs? Anything I search for in google talks about the 'temperature' of HID lights, which is nothing to do with heat (it refers to the colour of the light they give off).
Can anyone enlighten me?
I believe one of the biggest problems with replacement HID bulbs is that the light source isn't necessarily correctly placed within the reflector. You end up with a really bright light but the pattern is all over the place and the coverage a bit iffy.
I would rather add a couple of extra spot / flood lights and keep the bike's headlight as it is. Then you can put the light where you need it which may be different depending on what terrain you are riding.
I have done a few tests with some very special LED lights. They are brighter than 50w halogen but of course draw hardly any power. They are not quite in production yet but will be very soon. If you think you might be interested give me a shout and I might be able to arrange a demo.
We put HID lights on our bike before we left. The heat they generate is said to be less than normal and they are supposed to use less power. I am not finding them very good though. The light is really bright and in a closed space you see everything, but its absolutely true that the reflection is poor and it gets dispersed everywhere, blinding everyone that is coming towards you (and making them angry) whilst doing little to let you see the road. Visibility is much less than with the standard bulb. Everyone thinks you have main beam on all the time. I would stick to the normal bulbs from now on.
However since Turkey I have been on the most crappy headlamp glass imaginable. A rogue stone smashed it back there and I had to replace with the only one that would fit, and it is pants. This probably has a lot to do with reflection problems, but I think the bulb must take some blame too.
My vote is stick to the normal bulb, and get a headlamp glass protector.
All good info, thanks
OK, well that wasn't the response I was expecting, but it's certainly good to know. I'd never really heard any of the negative aspect of HID lights.
Maybe I will stick with the setup I've got at the moment. It just seemed like a double bonus, getting brighter light and having less electrical load on the bike, but there's no such thing as a free lunch eh! (Sorry, maybe an Englishism?)
Yellow Tractor I'd definitely be interested in a test drive, but I'm assuming you're in the UK, and I'm in Washington at the moment. It's a long shot (another Englishism?) but you don't have any LED expert contacts close to Seattle do you?
Thanks nico-la-vo, for your experiences and advice. How did you like Turkey? I spent close to two months there and had an absolute blast.
I had 55w HIDs in the dip and beam lights on my 2008 F860GS twin. I took them out 20,000 miles later when I sold the bike back to the dealer and was surprised to find fogging of the lens. I tried to clean it with a twisted rag and some of the reflective material came off.
I don't know whether this would have happened if I had used 35w HIDs.
New Bike
I know you had alot of trouble with that bike, but what did you get to replace it. Did you go for the same ? or have you had a change ?
I've fitted HID's to a couple of 1150GS's with no issues. Installation is a lot easier if you can understand how they work.
HID's made a massive improvement to the admittedly poor standard lights. I went for 6000k rating which is a very white light. A lower K (Kelvin) rating equates to a more yellow light & a higher rating means a blue then violet light spectrum.
If anyone fits HID's to a non-ABS R1150/1200GS, then also purchase the extension leads as they'll allow you to locate the ballast boxes beneath the tank in the space normally occupied by the ABS pump, more secure & less prone to damage if the bike's dropped. I used 3M Dual-Lock to attach the ballast's to the ECU.
It's worth paying a little extra & getting the 55w HID rather than the 35w.
H4 bulbs: two options: one where the HID bulb has two chambers, this means little light as one chamber goes out & the other chamber takes a few seconds to come up to temperature. A better option is buying a kit with a single chamber bulb and a solenoid that moves the bulb in its housing, creating the difference between dip & main beam. Main benefit is that you've got constant & consistent lighting.
Slim line ballasts are easier to locate but they do come with an additional small box that needs to be secured separately.
Cheap ebay type bulbs will often have the light source in the wrong position. This results in a light pattern not as designed and a lot of glare.
H4 bulb fitments are very difficult to find quality bulbs for. Make extra effort to buy from a quality supplier when it comes to H4.
The new F650 / F800 seems to have a poor reflector and a number of problems have been seen with a loss of sheen on the reflector on this bike alone.
In answer to the original question, HIDs produce lower heat than halogen bulbs. If you can run 55w halogens, you will have no problem heat wise with 35w HIDs. Just make sure its a quality bulb, and be aware that one bike's reflector has been known to suffer a loss of sheen on the reflector.
Hello, Turkey was brilliant, a highlight of the trip. People have been the friendliest yet. Who'd of thought it, with them being on the edge of Europe. Amazing country would love to go back.
UK Source........
try www.hid50.com
A guy called Les runs the company and comes highly recommended in the GS world. Worth a look.
Have them fitted to dip beam and fogs on my BMW GSA and KTM, brilliant kit. Went for 50s in the dips and 35s in the fogs.
I second the comment above. Les is a great guy and knows what he is talking about. He is also a biker.
Excellent, thanks very much
Good to get all that info, thanks.
I'll give Les a call if and when I take the plunge and fork out for a HID set.
Colebatch, I see Les sponsored you for your latest project, was that something that happened because you're good friends with him, or did you approach him and get lucky?
Anyway, thanks for all the feedback. Good to know I should get away with the HID bulbs
I have known him a while. He is a genuinely nice guy, and it was a good chance to demonstrate the durability of his product.
I have a h4 hid bulb (hi/lo beam with a moving capsule) in my x-challenge. Without having a second bike so the 2 can be compared side by side I can't confirm that the beam has not been affected but it seems to be ok. The light output is much greater though and I can see more clearly. Even with a car coming towards me on an unlit road at night I can see enough to continue with confidence rather than having to slow down as I used to.
I also find blue/white hid lights on other vehicles makes them stand out against the yellow/white of normal headlights where a normal bulb would blend in. Having this on a bike can only be a good thing, providing you still get a good beam pattern.

Some people might find this an odd entry in a 'budget TV roundup'. After all, it's actually Sony's new flagship 46in TV. But there's method to our apparent madness. Here's the thing: the 46HX853 produces simply the best pictures we've ever seen from an LCD TV. Yet at around £1400, it's considerably cheaper - by as much as £500 - than the equivalent rivals from LG, Samsung and Panasonic. Which by our maths makes it a steal for anyone who still thinks a TV's first job should be to produce brilliant pictures.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, the follow-up to last year's S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, has officially been dated by the game's creator.
Developed by Ukraine-based GSC Game World, the PC title will ship worldwide on August 29. Set in 2011, Clear Sky takes place before the events of Shadow of Chernobyl, a first-person survival game that put gamers in the role of a mysterious amnesia-suffering scavenger trying to come to grips with the aftermath of Chernobyl's radioactive wasteland, complete with paranormal activity, mutant creatures, and competing scavengers--armed to the teeth, no less.
According to GSC Game World, "S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky introduces an alternative look at the events of the original game and offers the player [the chance] to try himself out as a mercenary S.T.A.L.K.E.R. in search of his own path in the world of S.T.A.L.K.E.R."

(Adds comments by Representative Jordan and Senator Coburn, starting in 14th paragraph.)
Nov. 14 (Bloomberg) -- The congressional committee charged with crafting a plan to cut the U.S. debt may use a "two-step process," agreeing only on a broad framework for deficit reduction by its Nov. 23 deadline, the panel's top Republican said.
Representative Jeb Hensarling of Texas, the co-chairman of the bipartisan supercommittee, said panel members might reach an accord on overall numbers for tax revenue increases, leaving it to other congressional panels to work out the details.
"There could be a two-step process that would hopefully give us pro-growth tax reform," Hensarling said yesterday on CNN's "State of the Union" program.
Lawmakers are trying to break a partisan impasse over tax increases in exchange for spending cuts as the supercommittee seeks to cut $1.5 trillion from the budget deficit. The panel's six Democrats and six Republicans remain hundreds of billions of dollars apart on the tax revenue issue with nine days until the deadline.
President Barack Obama said yesterday the supercommittee must "bite the bullet" and come up with a plan that combines spending cuts with revenue increases.
'Prudent Cuts'
"Prudent cuts need to be matched with prudent revenue," Obama said at a news conference in Honolulu, where he was hosting a summit of leaders from the Asia-Pacific region. He said the threat of automatic budget cuts should prod lawmakers "to move off rigid positions and do what was required to help the country."
Another Republican on the supercommittee, Senator Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, said he was open to compromise on his proposal to modify the tax code to bring in what Republicans say would be $300 billion in additional revenue.
Negotiations are at "a difficult point," Toomey said on "Fox News Sunday." He added: "We've got a ways to go."
Representative James Clyburn, a Democratic supercommittee member from South Carolina, said on the same Fox program that he agreed with "about two-thirds of what Pat Toomey's put on the table."
Clyburn said he expected the supercommittee to reach an accord, while adding, "I'm not as certain as I was 10 days ago."
Sticking Points
The main sticking points are the level of revenue -- Democrats want at least $1 trillion and Republicans have offered about $500 billion -- and how it would be achieved, with Democrats favoring a rollback of tax preferences for higher- income earners. Republicans want a comprehensive tax overhaul that lowers income tax rates while eliminating some exclusions and deductions. They also want to count economic growth from tax cuts as new revenue, a concept Democrats reject.
Representative Dave Camp of Michigan, who oversees the tax- writing Ways and Means Committee in the House, and Senator Max Baucus of Montana, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, have been working to try to forge a consensus.
Anti-tax members of the House Republican caucus loom as a major obstacle, making it unclear whether any supercommittee deal could pass the chamber.
Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio, who the Republican Study Committee in the House, said in an opinion article in USA Today that it isn't time for the supercommittee to raise taxes. "Our economy will have an even tougher time catching its balance if Washington raises taxes," he wrote. Taxes "should not punish success to satisfy some false definition of 'balance.'"
Debt Limit
Congress created the supercommittee in August in legislation that resolved a standoff over raising the federal debt limit. If the panel can reach an agreement, its proposal would be subject to up-or-down votes in the House and Senate. Failure to enact a plan by the end of the year would trigger automatic across-the-board spending cuts of $1.2 trillion in 2013.
Without an agreement, "there will be further erosion in what little confidence remains in our federal government," Toomey said.
Senator Tom Coburn, an Oklahama Republican who was part of a group of six senators offering a bipartisan debt-reduction plan earlier this year, released a report identifying tax breaks he considers "giveaways for millionaires" that could be targeted as part of any deal.
They include $89 million for preservation of ranches and estates; $75.6 million in residential energy tax credits and $9.5 billion in government benefits paid to millionaires since 2003.
"This welfare for the well-off -- costing billions of dollars a year -- is being paid for with the taxes of the less fortunate, many who are working two jobs just to make ends meet," said Coburn in a statement.

I called these guys to get rid of the rats that had managed to get into my attic. Chris Meyer (I think that was his name) came right over even though it was a Saturday. He did a free inspection and told me he found the spots the rats were getting in. There were 6 spots that needed patchwork and the cost was $600 for that and the pest removal. He set traps in the attic that day and scheduled several appts with me threw the week where they would come and do the patchwork and monitor the traps. They came on time when scheduled. Polite and knowledgeable workers at this company. Its now been three weeks since I called them out. I'm not sure if the rats are all out or not I still hear scratches but they could be just trying to get in. The work is warranty for a year so if the critters come back they come back and remove them for free. If this review helped you make the decision to use Jolene, mention it and may save you a few $$.

goto statement is taboo at my work.
So the following question is born...
Is there a situation possible where a
goto is the only valid solution?
Originally GOTO was added to Pascal for error handling, including inter procedural forms that Borland(/Embarcadero) never implemented (example: GOTOing from a inner procedure to the parent), just like Borland never implemented other inner function functionality like passing inner functions to procedure-typed parameters.(*)
In that way GOTO can be considered the precursor to exceptions.
There still some practical uses: The last time I checked, jumping out of a nested IF statement with goto was still faster in Delphi then letting the code exit from a nested if naturally. Optimizations like these are sometimes used in e.g. compression code, and other complex tree processing code with deeply nested loops or conditional statements.
Such routines often still use goto for errorhandling, because it is faster. (exceptions are not only slow, but their border conditions inhibit some optimizations).
One could see this as part of the plain Pascal level of Object Pascal, just like C++ still allows plain C nearly completely.
(of course, since the optimized compression code in Delphi is only delivered in .o form, it is hard to find examples in the Delphi codebase. The JPEG code has some, but that is a C translation)
(*) Original pascal, and IIRC even Turbo Pascal doesn't allow prematurely exiting a procedure with EXIT. Same for CONTINUE and BREAK.
I suppose it depends on what you mean by valid. I suppose you are asking if there exists a program that can only be written with the use of the
However, if we are prepared to widen the discussion to include other languages, there are situations where
Goto is very old. It predates sub-routines like functions and procedures! It is also very dangerous and can make your code less readable (to others, or to yourself a few months later).
In theory it's not possible to have a situation where goto is required. I won't repeat the theory about Turing tape machines here, but using selection and iteration, you can re-order the code so in all possible input values the same output comes about.
In practice though, it's sometimes 'handy' and 'better readable' to 'jump away' from the flow of code in certain conditions, and that's where Exceptions come in.
Something like 15 years ago I used the goto statement in Delphi to convert one of Bob Jenkins's hash functions from C to Pascal. The C function has a switch() statement without breaks after each case, and you can't do that with Pascal's case statement. So I converted it into a bunch of Pascal labels and gotos. I guess you would still have to do it the same way with the newest Delphi versions. Edit: I guess using gotos would still be a reasonable way to do this. Gets the job done, easy to understand, limited to a short block of code, not dangerous.
This is known as the structured program theorem.
For a proof, see the 1966 paper, Flow Diagrams, Turing Machines and Languages with Only Two Formation Rules (PDF) by Corrado Böhm and Giuseppe Jacopini.

Today in Perth, Indonesian Defence Minister Purnomo and I witnessed the signing of a Memorandum of Sale between Australia and Indonesia for five C 130H aircraft and associated equipment.
During my visit to Jakarta in April this year, I confirmed that the Australian Government was willing to sell five C-130H aircraft, along with a simulator and spare parts, to Indonesia at a discounted rate.
This offer was in addition to the four C-130H aircraft that Australia is currently in the process of transferring to Indonesia following discussions between our respective leaders in November 2011.
The sale of a further five C-130H transport aircraft will further enhance Indonesia's capacity to respond to natural disasters and humanitarian crisis.
The Memorandum of Sale was signed by Australia's Chief of the Defence Force, General Hurley, and Indonesia's Head of Defence Facilities Agency, Rear Admiral Lubis.
The Memorandum sets out the arrangements for the sale of the five aircraft, simulator and spare parts to Indonesia.
Australia is pleased to continue to assist the development of Indonesia's airlift capability, which will support humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations.
The sale of these additional aircraft and associated equipment reflects the strength of the bilateral relationship between Australia and Indonesia, and the close ties between the Australian and Indonesian Defence forces.

One-pot meth plague on rise in NH
U.S. Drug Enforcement agents and agents from New Hampshire demonstrate the danger of one-pot methamphetamine laboratories at the New Hampshire fire academy. (DEA)
"We have found them out in the woods; we've found them in vehicles; we've found them in multi-family dwellings; we've found them in hotels; we've found them in commercial buildings. That's how portable they are," said Trooper 1st Class Matthew Partington of New Hampshire State Police.
-- A Thornton man was arrested after allegedly cooking meth just feet from a child's portable crib.
-- A 56-year-old Gilford man was arrested on felony drug charges after a raid by local, county, state and federal authorities.
Then, on April 6, 2010, authorities encountered an entirely new way of producing meth, during a raid at a Franklin apartment building. "They call it the one-pot or the shake-and-bake method," Partington said. "It's a much easier process but a lot more volatile."
But what began as a Lakes Region problem has spread across the state, Partington said. "One person will teach a few of their friends how to do it. Those friends teach other people. It's like a pyramid," he said.
"We're not talking about the 'Breaking Bad' traditional or older-school labs that are creating large amounts of meth, clearly for distribution," he said, citing the popular TV show in which a chemistry teacher becomes a drug kingpin. "You can make this stuff in a very small bottle at this point."
"You can have materials that are discarded on the side of the road, and somebody's picking up the trash on the side of the road, and they could shake up a bottle that ends up exploding on them," he said.
This new kind of meth production also poses a risk to first responders - and unsuspecting neighbors - who may be exposed to toxic chemicals or flash fires, if the materials ignite, he said.
"I don't think most people realize how dangerous the chemicals are and how volatile they can be," said Thornton Police Chief Aimee Moller, where police discovered a one-pot lab just four feet from a child's crib.
Meth use is not confined to one demographic, Moller said. "We're seeing some early 20s up into 40s and 50s," she said.
The toll on the community can be enormous, Adams said, from the costs of health care and the justice system to the local businesses that have to be evacuated while first responders clear a dangerous scene.
Then there's the human cost, how it wrecks the lives of addicts and their families, he said. "Meth takes over their life, and that's all they care about.
"They don't care about eating. They don't care about taking care of themselves. It's just their next hit."
"Methamphetamine is one of the most addictive drugs that is out there. It breaks down the human body. I've seen that. I've seen it break apart families," he said.
"To see these young kids sitting in apartments where drugs are spread out all over the place in the middle of the day...," Adams said. "Not only is it dangerous - they can grab these drugs and consume them - but this is their life. This is the environment that they're living in.

A development company called Heads of the Valleys, led by Michael Carrick, is working through the steps to build a 250-million-pound ($378M US) motorsports facility in Blaenau Gwent, Wales, about 33 miles due north of Cardiff. After more than a year of work so far, the latest success is that the Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council has given approval to the outline plan of the circuit.
Called the Circuit of Wales, the 830-acre site will be a "low carbon automotive center of excellence" that will comprise a 3.5-mile car track, motocross, karting and off-roading tracks, hotel and commercial and retail complexes. To fulfill the low-carbon bit, the facilities will also include an R&D park for entities exploring "the boundaries in environmental technology and energy solutions."
The plan is ultimately to host World Touring Car, MotoGP, World Superbikes and World Motocross. All of the facilities will be available to locals, a motorsports academy will assist new talent, and Welsh universities are expected to be able to tie their expertise in with the stakeholders in the technology park. The next step is for Heads of the Valleys to draw up and get approval for the detailed plan of the circuit.

good luck. There aren't too many mods that are like Industrial Craft. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Either way, there aren't that many mods that require Forge anyways. Why not install Forge? It's not hard. Maybe because Forge is incompatible with Tale of Kingdoms? Is it incompatible?

Scientists reprogram skin cells into insulin-producing pancreas cells.
A cure for type 1 diabetes has long eluded even the top experts. Not because they do not know what must be done—but because the tools did not exist to do it. But now scientists in the laboratory of Gladstone Institutes' investigator Sheng Ding, M.D., Ph.D., harnessing the power of regenerative medicine, have developed a technique in animal models that could replenish the very cells destroyed by the disease. The team's findings, published online today (Feb. 6) in the journal Cell Stem Cell, are an important step towards freeing patients from the life-long injections that characterize this devastating disease.
Type 1 diabetes, which usually manifests during childhood, is caused by the destruction of beta-cells (ß-cells). ß-cells are a type of cell that normally resides in the pancreas and produces a hormone called insulin. Without insulin, the body's organs have difficulty absorbing sugars, such as glucose, from the blood. Once a death sentence, the disease can now be managed with regular glucose monitoring and insulin injections. A more permanent solution, however, would be to replace the missing ß-cells. But these cells are hard to come by, so researchers have looked towards stem cell technology as a way to make them.
"The power of regenerative medicine is that it can potentially provide an unlimited source of functional, insulin-producing ß-cells that can then be transplanted into the patient," said Ding, who is also a professor at UC San Francisco, with which Gladstone is affiliated. "But previous attempts to produce large quantities of healthy ß-cells — and to develop a workable delivery system — have not been entirely successful. So we took a somewhat different approach."

Google Goes Dark For Lights Out San Francisco
On Saturday, Google went dark in San Francisco. No, it didn't lose a data center. It simply turned the home page black for the day to support Lights Out San Francisco. The change from white to black wasn't to actually conserve energy, as Google has determined this doesn't reduce energy consumption. Rather it was a symbolic "turning out the lights" to promote the effort of Lights Out San Francisco to get the city to turn out their lights for an hour. The organization has pictures of the event.
According to the Lights Out San Francisco blog, the organization started in April of this year following in the footsteps of Earth Hour in Sydney, Australia.
If you missed participating on Saturday, you can turn off your lights for their next event on March 29th.

Giant fish latches onto man's arm
There are some things you just shouldn't mess with, like a hungry, not-so-little fish lurking in the water.
Florida man, Ryan Reynolds, thought it was fun to dangle his arm like a fish bait above the water until an enormous tarpon grabbed it.
Reynolds tried to free himself as the fish's jaws clamped down on his right arm, trying to pull him into the water. The stubborn fish wasn't ready to give up and even kept its grip while wriggling on the jetty.
"Baby, get him!" a woman, recording the fiasco, screamed.
Eventually, the fish released the angler's arm and flopped back into the water.
Reynolds' epic tarpon battle has already reached more than 1.2 million views since it was uploaded on YouTube.

Optimo, Nadia Ksaiba, David Barbarossa, Mingo-Go
For NYE 2010 Optimo is returning to its roots, taking both itself and the Art School full circle, revisting and paying homage to one of the cities finest and most influential club venues as it hosts its final New Years Party.
Assembly Hall (upstairs):
"The Optimo Turbo Sound System" with residents JD Twitch and & JG Wilkes host the upstairs Assembly Hall all night!
Vic Bar (downstairs):
Optimo presents: The Hung Up! Ladies Lounge - hosted by Nadia Ksaiba (Say Yes) with DJ Mingo-Go and Madame Barbarossa (Babs to her friends).
Since the very early days of the Optimo parties, the New Year celebrations have been an integral part of the Optimo calendar. The very first Optimo New Year was held on the turning point of the new millennium in 1999 and since then there has been a Hogmanay event every year, initally at the Art School and then for the last three years at the Fruitmarket.
As the end of the first decade of that New Millennium looms Glasgow is on the brink of losing one of its most influential and iconic venues. One week after degree show 2011, the Glasgow School of Art's famous Students Association will close its doors as a massive demolition and rebuilding plan for the GSA begins. The Art School Union as we all know and love it today will cease to exist.
The Glasgow School of Art Student Association has been at the very centre of the city (if not the countries) creative arts and clubbing community for the past 20 years. The Legendary Vic Bar has been the party venue of choice for almost every one of the cities emerging underground clubs, breaking bands and internationally know artists. In light of this significant loss, it seemed only right that Optimo return to the Art School and present the final NYE party that will ever take place in this extraordinary building. There is simply no other place to be.
Optimo thought long and hard about how to best present this night. With so many great past guests to choose from, and so many new acts and friends to ask, the choice of what to programme was a difficult one. However what became apparent was that this event would be something more personal than just a party with a big name guest. Following the "death" of Optimo (espacio) earlier this year, Twitch and Wilkes felt this should be a chance for them to pay homage themselves, to both those early Optimo parties and to the Art School's historic place in the cities clubbing consciousness.
Thus for New Years Eve 2010 Optimo will forego any big name guests and instead will host the upstairs assembly hall themselves with muscular production support from "The Optimo Turbo Sound System". While downstairs in the the Vic Bar will become the "Ladies Lounge" for the night, hosted by the inimitable Nadia Ksaiba (Say Yes), London town's Hung Up! resident along with with DJ Mingo-Go and Madame Barbarossa (Babs to her friends) all playing together to give a rousing Optimo farewell to this great venue.
Optimo NYE 2010 will be spectacular and a fitting farewell to The Art School as we currently know it. More than ever Optimo's efforts will be focused on ensuring this event has the best production of ANY party in the city and this is where they will be concentrating the budget for the night.
Optimo - we love your ears, and we loved your Arty.

In saying over and over again that "Matchstick Men" is one of the most criminally under-rated movies of all time, seeing it left out of this list of best twist endings further proves my point. It was so unpredictable, shocking, brilliant, yet served a purpose in changing the protagonist's life, leading to a surprisingly upbeat ending.
