World fury at North Korea nuclear test

For information regarding communism as a form of society, as an ideology advocating that form of society, or as a popular movement, see the communism article. , which stunned the world with its first atomic bomb atomic bomb or A-bomb, weapon deriving its explosive force from the release of atomic energy through the fission (splitting) of heavy nuclei (see nuclear energy). The first atomic bomb was produced at the Los Alamos, N.Mex. test in October 2006, made good on its threat to stage another test after the Security Council censured it for an April rocket launch A rocket launch is the first phase of the flight of a rocket. For orbital spaceflights, or for launches into interplanetary space, rockets are launched from a launch pad, which is usually a fixed location on the ground but may also be on a floating platform such as the San Marco .
The North "successfully conducted one more underground nuclear test on May 25 as part of the measures to bolster up Verb 1. bolster up - support and strengthen; "bolster morale"
reenforce, reinforce - make stronger; "he reinforced the concrete" its nuclear deterrent A nuclear deterrent is the phrase used to refer to a country's nuclear weapons arsenal, when considered in the context of deterrence theory.
Deterrence theory holds that nuclear weapons are intended to deter other states from attacking with their nuclear weapons, through the for self-defence in every way," the official Korean Central News Agency The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) is the state news agency of North Korea and has existed since December 5, 1946. The reports mainly consist of propaganda, the personality cult of Kim Jong-il and his father.
KCNA is headquartered in the capital city of Pyongyang. (KCNA KCNA Korean Central News Agency

"The current nuclear test was safely conducted on a new higher level in terms of its explosive power and technology," it said.
The foreign ministry in China, the North's most important ally, said it was "resolutely opposed" to the test.
"China strongly demands that North Korea keeps its promise of denuclearisation and ceases all actions that could further worsen the situation," it said a statement.
Russia's foreign ministry said the test threatened regional stability, violated the Security Council's will and impeded non-proliferation efforts.
China and Russia -- both part of a six-nation forum working to persuade the North to give up its nuclear programmes -- had in the past resisted efforts at the UN to punish the North harshly over its nuclear activities.
The force of Monday's blast was between 10 and 20 kilotons, according to according to
1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians.
2. In keeping with: according to instructions.
3. Russia's defence ministry, vastly more than the estimated one-kiloton blast three years ago.

The science that deals with the phenomena of the atmosphere, especially weather and weather conditions.
[French météorologie, from Greek Agency said that based on recorded seismic activity, the energy level of the test was four times bigger than the last one.
Baek Seung-Joo of the Korea Institute for Defence Analyses told AFP (1) (AppleTalk Filing Protocol) The file sharing protocol used in an AppleTalk network. In order for non-Apple networks to access data in an AppleShare server, their protocols must translate into the AFP language. See file sharing protocol. that if rough estimates by some private analysts are right, "the power of the second blast is comparable to the bombs which hit Hiroshima and Nagasaki."
The Security Council, which sanctioned the North for its previous test, planned to meet Monday afternoon in New York New York, state, United States
New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of .
The North also test-fired three short-range missiles Monday, South Korea's military said.
"North Korea's attempts to develop nuclear weapons, as well as its ballistic missile programme, constitute a threat to international peace and security," US President Barack Obama said in a statement.
"The danger posed by North Korea's threatening activities warrants action by the international community."
The North informed the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. and China in advance of the test, a South Korean official said on condition of anonymity.
South Korea called its neighbour's atomic test an "intolerable provocation" and a serious threat to regional peace and put its military on heightened alert.
Japan's Foreign Minister Hirofumi Nakasone Hirofumi Nakasone (中曽根 弘文 Nakasone Hirohumi, b. November 28, 1945) is a Japanese politician from Takasaki, Gunma. He was Minister of Education under Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori. He is former Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone's son. said that his country, as the only "atomic-bombed nation", needed to take stern action.
Japan asked UN Security Council chair Russia to call an emergency meeting.
The KCNA report did not say where the nuclear test was conducted. South Korean officials said a tremor was detected around the northeastern town of Kilju, near where the first test was staged.
Japan, South Korea and the United States -- along with China and Russia -- have been negotiating since 2003 to persuade the North to abandon its nuclear programmes in exchange for energy aid and security guarantees.
In a 2007 pact the North agreed to dismantle its nuclear plants. The deal bogged down last December over ways to verify its declared nuclear activities.
In April the North fired a long-range rocket for what it called a satellite launch. Many nations saw it as a disguised ballistic missile test, while the Security Council condemned the launch and tightened sanctions.
A defiant North vowed to conduct a second nuclear test as well as more ballistic missile launches unless the world body apologised.
It also announced that it was quitting the six-way talks and would restart its plutonium-making programme.
Analysts believe the North has currently stockpiled enough plutonium for six to 12 small nuclear bombs. The first test was seen as only partially successful.
KCNA said Monday's test had resolved "scientific and technological problems arising in further increasing the power of nuclear weapons and steadily developing nuclear technology."
North Korea said Monday's test would help defend the country and "ensure peace and security on the Korean peninsula and the region."
In remarks made at the White House before heading to a Memorial Day ceremony, Obama said North Korea's actions were "deepening its own isolation and inviting stronger international pressure."
Pyongyang has expressed disappointment at the Obama administration, calling it no better than its predecessor.
"The second test was earlier than expected and reflects the North's growing anger at Washington," said Kim Yong-Hyun
- This is a Korean name; the family name is Kim.
Kim competed for Korea in badminton at the 2004 Summer Olympics in men's doubles with partner Yim Bang-Eun. of Seoul's Dongguk University.
"Or some internal problems may be forcing Pyongyang to take a strong attitude."
North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il, 67, was widely reported to have suffered a stroke last August, prompting speculation overseas about the succession. The North's position has noticeably hardened since then.

The Friendly Creeper Part 2"Hmm," I thought. Something was funny. The creeper didn't seem angered, saddened, or any sort of resentment towards me. I decided to leave it in its bucket, as it seemed rather content in there. Then I sat in my bed, pulled the red sheets over me, and fell asleep to the sounds of Courage's whimpering."Moan."Damn blurry eyes, I thought. I rubbed my eyes and looked. Straight in front of me was a zombie. No worry. My wolf could take care of it. Then it hit me."Woof!"I chained Courage up earlier."OH NOES."The zombie swung at me. I pulled an egg from behind me and smacked it across his face. He flew back. I fumbled under my bed for my diamond sword. I found a wooden one instead. It could do the trick. I slashed at the undead man, who flinched back. I rolled out of bed, and back slashed at the monster, hitting it, causing it to groan once more.The sword apparently couldn't take any more strain, and dissolved within seconds into a pile of dust, which blew away from my hand. The zombie
Acceptance Part 9Finally, we had made it to the treehouse."Here we... are," Doctor Whooves said, confused, and I turned to see him and Derpy, a few paces away, pointing towards the library.The door had been smashed open. As we moved closer to get a better peek inside, I could see piles of books, knocked to the floor."Get off of me!" I heard a child-like voice say from inside."SPIKE!" I heard in response. Walking in, I could barely distinguish the dragon with a sobbing Rarity lying on top of him."I'm so sorry!" she wailed. Her voice was scratchy, whinier almost, a sound produced as she tried to talk through her crying. "You saved my life!""I...did?" Spike said, bewildered.Meanwhile, a few piles of books away, a pony I guessed to be Mr. Cake was in a similar situation."I was so worried!" Mrs. Cake bawled above Mr. Cake's thin structured body."How did you forget I was going to return the cookbooks I borrowed for Pound and Pumpkin?" he asked, upset, and slightly perplexed. As they embraced each ot
I was Not a Bad RulerFor those who can hear me,I am simply misunderstood,For underneath my armored shellI'm just trying to do good.So I took over the Crystal Empire,it's just a bunch of rocksI didn't break their crystal heartI let them keep their socks.I chained them up so the windwouldn't blow them all awayAnd I made everything dark for Lunawhat more could I possibly say?I felt really bad for Princess Cadence, soI let her stay alive.Also I'm sorry for Shining Armor's hornI really really tried...I'm not a bad ruler, the poniesjust didn't like what they gotAt least my song is less repetitive thanQueen Crysalis's, is that not?Nobody expected my speech impedimentto stall my slow returnBut I guess that's what you getwhen your public opinion's underscored.Seriously, give me another chanceand I promise I'll make things right.Despite my sharp horn and fangs,Don't worry: I won't bite.
Acceptance Part 10"I'm so sorry," Fluttershy said for the fiftieth time as we crossed the bridge into Ponyville. "I couldn't do anything...""You don't have to apologize," I repeated for also the fiftieth time. "The fact is, we made it out alive, and you're safe. And hopefully whoever else they find in the forest..."We had long left the cottage, and Highlight had volunteered to find the other group that had set out to find the other element. Meanwhile, we had escorted Fluttershy (on the road this time, with no fear of getting lost) to Ponyville, and I had decided the first order of business was to get her to Rarity as soon as possible."But what about Canterlot?" Fluttershy squeaked, drawing my attention to her again. "What about... Princess Celestia?"Her mention of the princess reminded me. I looked at the sun again. Now, it was clear that the ponies were starting to notice it was not moving. The thatch roofing of many of the houses were beginning to scorch, and many ponies that were awake (many seem
(MLP) To Save a Cadence - 1Chapter OneMarking off the last item on her daily checklist was always a relief for Twilight Sparkle, and even for her assistant Spike. Today's was no exception, and the little dragon was glad to toss the rolled-up parchment in the garbage. Twilight stirred them both up a mug of hot chocolate, smiling as whipped cream clung to Spike's upper lip when he took a sip. He licked it away while both of them giggled quietly.After spending some time playing a card game together and finishing their hot chocolate, they each set to work - Twilight on some studying and Spike on some chores around the library. The sun continued lowering through the sky until it disappeared behind the horizon and the moon rose to replace it. Twilight walked back out into the main room of the library to find Spike asleep on the floor, his face resting on top of an open book. The purple unicorn smiled to herself and trotted over, carefully picking the little dragon up on her back. She put the book he had been
Big Mac's injuryBig Mac was pulling the plough through a new plot of untamed land he had recently obtained the deed to. Few ponies ever farmed this close to the Everfree Forest. In fact it was only the Apple Family who currently farmed in any part of what generally is considered the "neutral zone" around the Everfree. Still, profits were down and the crop yield from last summer had been below expectation, it was time to let that soil rest and move to fresh ground. The ground was stony, but the earth found here was rich and well rested, perfect for a new crop of corn. Ol' Slicer (as he affectionately named his plough) was tearing up the ground behind him as he heaved it forward. Suddenly there was a metallic twang as the harness he was wearing suddenly went fully taught. Turning, he saw that Slicer had been caught on something. Pawing the ground with his hoof, Big Mac tried to dislodge the stone that was blocking the plough. Getting a hoof under an edge of the flat stone surface he strained
A Knight's Tale CH1 - Equestria Expanded S1E1//-----------------------------// Story: A Knight's Tale// Chapter: Chapter 1// Author: lionel23//----------------------------- Knight Light gasped for breath as he slid down the slope of the hill to the foliage below. With deft precision he kicked himself off just before hitting the bottom of the earthen slide and landed squarely on his hooves. "Knights, where art thou?" he called to his fellows, two of whom slid down shortly after him. While each of them were dressed similarly in long, sea blue caparisons decorated with their homeland's livery, Knight Light's own outfit differed slightly. He was the only 'knight' to wear a steel helm over his face, while the other knights wore cloth face coverings. Of the two other ponies sliding down to join him; one was a regular pony knight of his homeland while the other was a proud unicorn with a dazzling white coat.
Wedding of Deception - Ch. 1: Wedding Notice"Well, well, well... it seems that things are about to change around here."There are, of course, many changes in a pony's life. Sometimes it's a day-to-day difference like that of the weather, and sometimes it's a big change which leaves a lasting impact on a pony's life.There are many events like these which have importance - weddings, births, holidays, causes of celebration and good tidings. And along with the importance of these events comes others bringing it up as their topic of current discussion.The speaker was talking about a major event such as this - a wedding. And not just a wedding of two ordinary ponies, but a grand union of Equestrian royalty.With royalty, a momentous occasion is never shared with simply a few close friends and family. The celebrity status of the ponies in question guarantees that the entire surrounding area will be alerted about the event sooner or later. Especially the celebration that was fast
Ties that Bind: ch. 1: PerseusThe Ties That Bind"Almost all of our sorrows spring out of our relations with other ponies." - Arthur Schopony.Chapter 1: PerseusThe crisp autumn air rushed past his wings and tussled his cropped mane, which had lost most of its blue color to the gray of age. The chill of the wind was a welcome contrast to the heat of his exertions. Perseus lazily flapped his wings, keeping a steady cadence and getting as much efficiency as possible out of every wing beat.Perseus seldom had the pleasure of flying without his armor. Command of the Royal Guard brought him innumerable duties. With spot inspections, court appearances, and advising both Princesses on matters of security, along with the daily routine of running the guard, he frequently went from before dawn to long after dusk wearing the uniform of Celestia's personal guard.The freedom of flying without the encumbering armor almost made him feel young again. It wouldn't be long befor
Ponies meet Boy Part 1Ponies meet Boy Part 1By StoltzyAll was as it usually was at peace in Equestria. Discord had been stopped and recovery was coming along nicely as what had happened that day had only become some bad memories. What was different this day however was that the residents of Ponyville were to have a new Pony among them. A few miles away from ponyville there was a slow moving wagon making its way down the road. It was an old looking but stable wagon that sort of looked like a moving carriage. This pony was fairly large, only slightly shorter then the likes of Big Macintosh, he wasn't particularly muscular more along the lines of slightly heavy. Even so, this pony was strong enough to pull that big thing all by himself. The pony was a deep dark blue from his head down to his hooves, his mane was brown, short and kinda messy. His cutie mark was an open book being written with a quill. On his face he wore a pair of glasses which along with his deep blue eyes po
Luna Plays... Chapter 1 - [Insert 1 Bit to Play]Pumpkin Fest was feeling good today. She's on a roll. Nothing can stop her from cleaning out those cobwebs on the ceiling. She worked as a maid servant for the Royal Sisters in Canterlot Castle for only a couple of days, and she enjoyed her work. There were times when it went difficult before, but now she knew where the ladders were being kept. Those clingy, dusty webs won't know what hit them!She grabbed the end of the ladder with her teeth, wishing she was born a unicorn. Earth ponies don't exactly have more useful abilities the unicorns have, but they are sure darn stronger than most others. Still, it placed quite a toll on her neck. She halted underneath her objective and released her bite. Pumpkin felt an uncomfortable cringe in her neck and paused for a moment to relax her bones. She felt like an old mare, which is bad. At least she's young enough to not be confused as one. She grunted a bit as she lifted the ladder to a stand-up position and started climbing up the steps
FlutterxMac-- IntrusionIntrusionThe red stallion couldn't get away from his little sister fast enough. Big Macintosh could still taste the deliciously sweet apple on his tongue that was left over from the apple fritter. It was the Apple Family's Reunion, and the young adult colt couldn't be happier... or more overwhelmed.He was happy to see Granny Smith with her friends and Apple Bloom chat away with Babs. Even though Applejack was in overdrive with the festivities, the filly couldn't be everywhere at once. So wherever Applejack wasn't at the ponies were having a fine time.This was not Big Macintosh's first reunion, his last one was when he was just a small filly like Apple Bloom. But he was the same as he then, now. Walking around slowly, smiling kindly to each family member he saw, yet still too shy to have a conversation. It was odd, because even though there were other stallions his age, Big Macintosh was still as shy as ever. He wanted this reunion to be different, he wanted to step

5 dead, 5 injured after Calif. shooting rampage
Eds: APNewsNow. Updates with ID, will be expanded. Police briefing set for noon PDT, will be updated. With BC-US--Santa Monica Shooting-Chronology. AP Video. With AP Photos.
Associated Press
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) - Los Angeles County coroners have identified one of the people gunned down at Santa Monica College in a shooting rampage that killed four people before police shot and killed the gunman.
Investigator Joyce Kato says 68-year-old Carlos Navarro Franco of west Los Angeles was killed in Friday's shootings.
Franco was the driver of a red Ford Explorer that the gunman sprayed with bullets, killing him and wounding his passenger, who was in critical condition after undergoing surgery at a UCLA hospital.
The violence lasted about 20 minutes and started about a mile away from campus, where the gunman is believed to have killed his father, brother and another person in a house. That house burned down, and investigators are determining whether that was arson.

Hans Ruedi "H.R." Giger (February 5, 1940-May 12, 2014) was a Swiss surrealist painter and sculptor.Known for this works' disquieting, biomechanical, often sexual imagery, Giger has achieved much of his fame from his work in films as a set and creature designer. Among the film projects he's worked on are Alien, Alien�, Dune, Poltergeist II: The Other Side, Species, and Prometheus, which actually dusted off some unused concepts from Alien. Before this he provided two paintings for Emerson, Lake & Palmer's album Brain Salad Surgery, one of which had to be airbrushed for purposes of censorship. The Dead Kennedys included a poster of his painting Penis Landscape with their album Frankenchrist — for which they got in a little trouble — and Danzig used his art for the cover of Danzig III: How the Gods Kill.Giger also contributed art to the Dark Seed games, has a number of bars in Switzerland themed after his art (which are probably nice, comfortable places to get a drink), and designs incredibly menacing furniture.Giger sadly passed away in May 2014 after sustaining injuries in a fall.And his name's pronounced GHEE-ger.
Common themes in Giger's work include:


text: OverviewBack to top of page EcoNugenics - Detox Complete - 60 Vegetarian Capsules Code#:109253 Manufacturer:EcoNugenics Size/Form:60 Vegetarian Capsules Packaged Ship Weight:0.25 Servings:30 Dosage Size:2 Capsule(s) Click here to read a PDF brochure on this product EcoNugenics Detox Complete - 60 Vegetable Capsules Detox Complete is a comprehensive dietary supplement containing vitamins, nutrients, and herbs specially blended to promote cleansing and removal of heavy metals from the body. Detox Complete is part 2 of the EcoNugenics Toxin Removal System, and is designed to be used together with PectaSol Chelation Complex. The key components of Detox Complete include sulfur containing groups of phytonutrients, as well as herbs selected for their specific ability to detoxify and protect against heavy metals and toxins. This herbal blend also provides critical antioxidants and supports the liver during the detoxification process. Prominent ingredients include garlic, cilantro, milk thistle seed extract, dandelion leaf extract, L-glutathione, and N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine. A total of 22 herbs are synergistically combined to create a truly powerful nutraceutical supplement for cleansing and detoxifying. EcoNugenics recommends the use of PectaSol Chelation Complex for a minimum of four weeks prior to beginning use of Detox Complete. The use of Detox Complete in conjunction with PectaSol Chelation Complex provides a full spectrum detoxification from heavy metals and environmental toxins. Detox Complete: For comprehensive detoxification Designed for use with PectaSol Chelation Complex Remove heavy metals and environmental toxins safely and naturally Supports liver and kidney health during detoxification Phase II Detox CompleteAfter taking the full dose (6 caps daily) of PectaSol Chelation Complex for at least 30 days, we recommend adding Detox Complete for 1 to 3 months to increase chelation and further support the liver and detoxification systems. Taking Detox Complete in combination with PectaSol Chelation Complex provides full spectrum detoxification of heavy metals and environmental toxins. It is important that these products are taken at the same time, as Detox Complete will mobilize the movement of heavy metals and toxins from deep within the body, while PectaSol Chelation Complex will ensure systemic removal of these toxins without redistribution. Toxic Heavy MetalsToxic heavy metals are a significant health concern because they tend to bio-accumulate, meaning their concentration can build up in the body over time. Heavy metal compounds like lead, arsenic, mercury and cadmium, as well as radioactive particles like cesium-137 and strontium-90, accumulate when they are absorbed faster than they can be broken down (metabolized) or excreted. Unfortunately, exposure is hard to avoid as our environment is full of toxins and heavy metals which are found in water, air, food, household products, and other common sources. Why Phase II?Detox Complete provides detoxification support with antioxidants and key nutrients. The botanicals in Detox Complete are selected for specific tissue affinities, so they can reach "stagnant" areas of the body where toxins may have been stored over the long term. This unique formula combines the traditions of Tibetan and Chinese principles with Western naturopathic herbology. Synergy among the ingredients adds to the benefits of Detox Complete to make this a powerful yet gentle formula for comprehensive detoxification support. Case report studies using PectaSol Chelation Complex and Detox Complete have demonstrated effectiveness in the removal of heavy metals and toxins. Key IngredientsDetox Complete contains a total of 20 natural ingredients chosen for their specific ability to detoxify and protect against heavy metals and toxins, such as garlic, cilantro, milk thistle seed extract, dandelion leaf extract, L-glutathione, N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine, and others. The botanicals and nutrients in Detox Complete are carefully combined to support to the organs of elimination, promote the cleansing and removal of heavy metals and toxins from deep within the tissues, and provide support to the body during the detoxification process. Cilantro, Milk Thistle, Sulfur Amino Acids & CompoundsCilantro binds both inorganic and organic forms of mercury, and there is scientific evidence that consumption of cilantro can reduce mercury deposits in the body. Milk thistle has been used for over 2,000 years to support the liver and detoxification organs. GSH (glutathione), MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), cysteine, NAC (N-acetyl cysteine), and ALA (alpha-lipoic acid) each have important roles in detoxification, as these sulfur containing compounds are known to chelate heavy metals and suppress free radicals. The ResearchScientific Research has demonstrated the ability of specific herbs and extracts, specifically garlic, coriander, cilantro, Ginkgo biloba, and antioxidants, as well as minerals such as zinc and selenium, to combat the accumulation of toxins and gently promote their removal from the body's tissues and organs. Many of the detoxifying herbs and antioxidants also support the actions of the liver and kidneys so that the body can better detoxify naturally. Why is it necessary to wait at least one month before adding the Detox Complete to my heavy metal chelation program?It is necessary to take PectaSol Chelation Complex for a minimum of 1 month prior to adding Detox Complete as these products were formulated and designed to work synergistically. Detox Complete is a more aggressive chelating compound, but lacks the binding capacity of PectaSol Chelation Complex, resulting in a 2 step detoxification process requiring both formulas.

Building A Business Case For Unified Communications
The hype surrounding any emerging technology often shrouds the private sector with mixed feelings, as decision-makers try to decipher whether new offerings will enhance operations, hinder productivity or introduce some bizarre mixture of the two.
Instant Cashflow Improvement and Rapid ROI with Unified Communications
The up-and-down economy of the past several years has highlighted the need to operate more effi ciently and cut costs wherever possible. In most situations, these two notions would seem contradictory, but a number of emerging technologies - cloud computing, virtualization and the bring-your-own-device movement among them - are helping companies accomplish these goals.
The Top Four Pitfalls of Unified Communications
Today's enterprise needs to be agile if decision-makers wish to remain competitive and relevant in the eyes of consumers. As more companies and customers around the world begin leveraging innovative devices like smartphones, tablets and next-generation laptops, the need to deploy unified communications grows alongside it. Neglecting to implement the technology may result in dire consequences that could spell the end of an organization.

Newberry: Manning decision doesn't end NFL drama
As far as a superstar changing teams goes, this Peyton Manning saga went off pretty well, beginning with his classy press conference as he said good-bye to the Colts.
The good news for the NFL, which tries to take the headlines 12 months a year, is that the drama didn't end with Manning's decision to go to the Broncos.
Alex Smith, who for most of the past seven years the 49ers couldn't have given away, is now in NFL demand, if you count the Dolphins as an NFL team.
The 49ers would have loved to have won the Manning sweepstakes, but they'll probably move quickly to try and mend fences with Smith, who won 14 games, including a playoff victory, a year ago.
Oh, and that Tim Tebow guy, remember him? He has two or three fans I think who will be wondering what will happen to him next.
Jacksonville and Miami look like good options there, and Minnesota would be a good fit if the Vikings realized it.
Manning is the headline act, although I'm not sure he took the best talent combination out there. He will make their receivers better immediately, and maybe John Elway will find him a tight end.
The Tebow haters in the media will rewrite history about the Broncos having a great defense and offensive line a year ago. It's a defense and a line that were horrendous when Kyle Orton was quarterbacking and really inconsistent with Tebow as their leader.
I never believed that Elway or John Fox deserved the good fortune that came their way last season. They didn't want to play Tebow. They really didn't want him to succeed, handicapping him at every turn.
They made the AFC final four despite their preference for a top-five draft pick instead of going to the playoffs.
Their honest approach this offseason to upgrading the position is commendable in that the organization wouldn't likely succeed with them pretending to be behind their quarterback.
Tebow may or may not be good enough to be a long-term starter, but it was obvious the Broncos weren't going to give him that chance. And if he's going to back up a legend, it'd be better for him to go to New England and learn behind Tom Brady than stick around in Denver.
It's possible the 316-yard upset special over the Steelers might be the lead paragraph to the Tim Tebow NFL story when it's all said and done. But I don't expect Tebow to give up on his dream that easily.
And for the NFL, the Manning decision just kicks off a few more weeks of drama, which should just about take us to draft weekend.
The summer lockout of 2011 seems so long ago, while reminders of NBA's work stoppage hit us at every turn.
The NFL does drama better than just about anyone.

The Golden West: An Interview with Daniel Fuchs
July 16, 2014 | by Aram Saroyan
In early 1989, I telephoned Daniel Fuchs (1909–93), then in his eightieth year, in Los Angeles to ask about the possibility of interviewing him for The Paris Review. The novelist and screenwriter—heralded for his Williamsburg Trilogy of the 1930s (Summer in Williamsburg, Homage to Blenholt, and Low Company) and Love Me or Leave Me, for which he won an Academy Award—was cordial and open, but stipulated that he preferred to have the questions sent to him; he would mail back his answers. I sent the questions, twenty-seven of them, to Fuchs that February, and at first there appeared to be clear sailing—the writer said he would soon have something.
At the same time, Fuchs expressed a concern about the handling of the copyright when the interview was printed, and over the next several weeks it became increasingly difficult to allay or understand his fears. Although I'd assured him the rights would revert immediately to him upon publication, he remained concerned, asking for a signed warranty from George Plimpton. When this wasn't quickly sent—owing to office delays rather than any disinclination—the writer grew vehement, and then abusive. Reluctantly I let go of the idea of seeing through an interview with Fuchs, whose work remains too much of a secret to this day.
A year or so after Fuch's death in 1995, having been informed that the writer's papers were in Special Collections at the Mugar Memorial Library at Boston University, I phoned Dr. Howard Gotlieb, the Special Collections librarian, to ask if, by any chance, there was an interview circa 1989 among the papers. Indeed there was. Fuchs had constructed an interview that, while based on my questions, departs from them in unexpected and telling ways. It amounts to a late work by the distinguished, if unexpectedly irascible, "magician," as John Updike once pronounced him.
You have been identified by Irving Howe, Alfred Kazin, and others as one of three Jewish novelists of the 1930s whose work has survived a half century now, the other two being Henry Roth and Nathanael West. Would you comment on the literary climate of the thirties?
Survived, rediscovered—a peculiar occurrence. A man sits in a room writing novels. Nothing happens. The books don't sell—four hundred apiece, the last one a few more. There are scattered reviews. Then thirty years later, suddenly, the books are brought out, again and again, acclaimed. A small-sized mystery. Of course, I'm talking only of my own books. Call It Sleep and Nathanael West's work attracted attention from the start and were well known all along.
Did you read Call It Sleep when it came out?
With pleasure and pangs of jealousy.
Nathaniel West went to Hollywood and wrote B movies and worked on his last novel, The Day of the Locust, which in its final sentence seems to indicate that the protagonist has succumbed to the furies around him in Hollywood and gone mad. Henry Roth moved to rural Maine and hasn't, as of now, published another novel. You gave up a literary career for several decades to write movies. Is there a common thread in all this?
No, I don't think so. West kept working on his own material up to the end, while he was doing the pictures at Republic. Roth had his own reasons. I liked it in Hollywood and stayed on. I found the life most agreeable. Mordecai Richler went out of his way, in a book review, to say I bragged about the money I made in Hollywood. Actually, I never made a great deal of money in the movies. Sixty thousand dollars a year was about the best I could do, if Richler doesn't mind my saying so. In fact, I went nearly broke, had to sell my house, and then an amazing thing happened, another one of those mysteries. A benefactor, a character out of a Molnár play—I can't say his name, he once asked me never to bother him or intrude—stepped forward. He's been watching out for us over the past number of years and we're quite comfortable. I guess I mention all this to get a rise out of Richler. Hollywood strikes a nerve in some people. Read More »
The Origins of Barbecue, and Other News
May 5, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- The secret libraries of New York. (None of them are technically secrets, but "the comparatively less well-known libraries of New York" doesn't have the same ring to it.)
- "A surveillance society … threatens our interiority, our right to a private self that ensures we can never be fully transparent, to others or to ourselves. In a culture driven to render us ever more transparent to one another, literature and art may be among the few spaces in which to keep hold of this understanding of the private self."
- On the disappearance of spectacular cinema: "As the bulk of filmmaking has shifted away from studio productions and virtually all movies except for franchises have become, in effect, independent films, movies have fallen into conflicting extremes of artifice and of reality, and the idea of reality has become a sort of critical cult."
- "The first indigenous tribes Christopher Columbus encountered on the island he named Hispaniola had developed a unique method for cooking meat over an indirect flame, created using green wood to keep the food (and wood) from burning. Reports indicate that the Spanish referred to this new style of cooking as barbacoa: the original barbecue."
- These statues are very, very, arrestingly large.
River of Fundament
February 12, 2014 | by Andy Battaglia
Matthew Barney's singular new film.
Matthew Barney's studio, the birthing place of some of the biggest and most ambitious art of our time, sits in an industrial New York netherzone by the East River in Queens. A couple blocks down is a garage for cast-off food carts in states of obliteration and disarray. On the streets stroll workers whose sturdy coats solicit calls to 888-WASTEOIL, for the service of all waste-oil wants and needs. Alongside the studio the mercurial river flows, its current changing direction several times a day.
Inside are forklifts to move things like six-ton blocks of salt and sculpturally abetted Trans Ams. Football jerseys hang on a wall, including one for the fabled Oakland Raiders center Jim Otto (his number, 00, puts Barney in mind of extra-bodily orifices). A staff of a half dozen studio hands oversees projects of enterprising kinds, from building and bracing large architectural oddities to disrupting and destroying sculptures and letting objects rot.
It was here that Barney completed River of Fundament, a new epic film project premiering this week at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, with a running time of nearly six hours (including two intermissions) and passages that play as extravagantly abstracted and absurd. The film was inspired by Norman Mailer's 1983 novel, Ancient Evenings, set in ancient Egypt and invested in stages of reincarnation that come after death. The story would not seem to be eminently filmable.
But River of Fundament is not exactly a film. It draws on a series of site-specific performances and elaborate happenings—live actions related to the project date back as far as 2007—and all of them, however cinematically presented in the end, fit as sensibly within the traditions of theater and opera. Shoots lasted for days, doubling as rituals or séances, with characters performing for an audience that would come to be part of the work. Read More »
Don't You Forget About Me
August 6, 2013 | by Jason Diamond
Some people revere Jean-Luc Godard, others obsess over finding subliminal messages in the films of Stanley Kubrick. Much as I love the work of these masters, the filmmaker whose work I tend to think the most about is John Hughes. From the iconic films he both wrote and directed (The Breakfast Club, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles) to those he wrote and produced (Home Alone) the movies Hughes helped create between 1984 and 1991 are all classics in my eyes. (Even I will admit that after that his work gets really iffy: 101 Dalmatians, anybody?) I grew up laughing at his films, and when I eventually found myself homesick for the Chicagoland area I knew growing up, I'd revisit the copies of his films that I still watch on a monthly basis. Eventually I'd come to the realization that while David Kamp rightfully called Hughes the "Sweet Bard of Youth" in his 2010 Vanity Fair piece on the late director, I came to realize—thanks in large part to the distance between me and the place where I grew up—that Hughes was something even more; that he was to Chicago and its northern suburbs what Woody Allen was to Manhattan in the seventies and eighties. He made being from those bland suburbs seem more interesting than I recalled.
Watch Richard Wright Act in Native Son
July 15, 2013 | by Sadie Stein
In 1948, Richard Wright starred in this screen test for the film adaptation of his classic 1940 novel, Native Son. Says Studio 360's Amanda Aronczyk, "if that sounds like a bad idea, that's because it was"—not least because the non-actor was twice as old as twenty-year-old Bigger Thomas—but this clip remains a fascinating piece of literary and cinematic history.
The International
June 7, 2011 | by Richard Brody
One of the distinctions of Film Socialisme in Jean-Luc Godard's oeuvre is its near-absence of cinemacentric references (the most prominent visual citation is from Maya Deren's Meshes of the Afternoon, a film from the so-called experimental-film tradition, one that has played a slender part in Godard's lifetime of cinematic reflections). This time around, Godard comes to the history of cinema from the outside, as in a sequence that features the voice-over remarks "My friends, I've found the black box: here's why Hollywood is called the Mecca of cinema—the tomb of the Prophet—all gazes turned in the same direction—the movie theater." Likening the movie screen to the Kaaba, Godard suggests that the secular Jews of Hollywood were also founders of a faith, of a devotion to the guided gaze, sacralized by the prophetic power of the image itself. Yet calling the discovery the "black box" suggests that Godard considers the definitive record of Hollywood's influence also to be a disaster and its prophetic influence to be fraudulent. It also suggests the loss of faith that accounts for the absence of references to the classic cinema and, in particular, to the Hollywood movies that were the core of the tradition he inherited and perpetuated.

Too many pounds can impact effectiveness of some forms of contraception
BY DR. LAURA BERMAN email@example.com December 4, 2013 4:22PM
Updated: May 29, 2014 4:30PM
Did you know that your weight might increase your chance of unwanted pregnancy?
A new European study has found that emergency contraceptive becomes less effective as a woman's weight increases. The study found that emergency contraceptive starts to lose its effectiveness if a woman is 165 pounds or above, and it is greatly compromised — with what's described as an "absence of effectiveness" — at around 176 pounds.
Although the study was performed on a French drug, the emergency contraceptive in question is identical to Plan B here in the United States. Teva, the company that makes Plan B, has yet to comment on the findings.
Sadly, the search for effective and safe contraception is not over. In fact, recent data from the National Center for Health Statistics found that some women try up to five different forms of birth control before they find one that works for them and their body. And, Plan B is a popular option. According to new data released by the National Center for Health Statistics, 5.8 million women report that they have used the morning after pill on more than one occasion.
But the good news is that birth control options are plentiful (such as the IUC, hormonal birth control, diaphragms, etc.) but you might need to try a few different methods of contraception before you find the method that best works for you. And, no method is foolproof, so know your options as well as the limitations of your options. Ask your doctor how effective your form of contraception is and learn if there are other choices that might be more effective for your body and your lifestyle.
And, as always, Plan B is definitely a plan b — especially for women who are 165 pounds or up.

63' After signing on Saturday, Mata said he couldn't "wait to play alongside him" and now the wait is over, as Wayne Rooney comes on as substitute for Robin van Persie. That trio working together in tandem remains a treat for Old Trafford to look forward to.
75' From Patrice Evra's pass, Mata clips a delicate shot towards goal, only for a Bluebirds defender to intervene and head it wide.
85' An impressive debut comes to an end as Mata is rested for the closing minutes, with Adnan Januzaj coming on to replace him.
Full-time: The Reds have beaten Cardiff 2-0 and Juan Mata can feel pleased with his performance.
Post-match: Mata is voted Man of the Match on the club's official Twitter account. The Spaniard received 68 per cent of the votes, well ahead of fellow nominees Chris Smalling and Ashley Young.

Germany, 1980 (MIFF 1981, Children's Session (1))
Director: Werner Meyer, Usch Barthelmess-Weller
The Children of Number 67 is a debut feature co-directed by Usch Barthelmess-Weller (born 1940) and Werner Meyer (born 1 948).
The idea for the film came from a favorite children's book of one of the directors and is about kids growing up shortly before and during the period of National Socialism. The film centres on two 1 2-year-old boys, Paul and Erwin, living in a working-class apartment block. The film follows the lives of the residents for a year in 1932-33.
In its story of these changes, the film attempts to explore the experience of childhood in relation not only to the personal and family circumstances that shape it. but also the wider social and political framework that surrounds it. The solidarity in the gang of children gradually disintegrates as unemployment, political persecution and anti-semitism take their toll.
"We have tried to build up the film in such a way that there is always a story-line which leads the younger audience through the film and lets them participate in the lives of Erwin, Paul and the children from number 67."
Usch Barthelmess-Weller, Werner Meyer

LOVE THIS SO MUCH. I have been competitively figure skating since i was 9, so we've always had to have good makeup remover in the house. You'd be surprised how much makeup they can cake on a 9 year old's face :P We go the Mary Kay remover through the makeup orders for the team, but that one stings my eyes really bad. I tried both Almay and The Body Shop Chamomile removers, but those stung a bit too. Enter Neutrogena. I bought this last year, my freshman year of high school, and have really never looked back. It takes off my mascara and waterproof eyeliner in a snap, and eye shadow if im wearing it, in one gentle swipe across my eyelid! My mom received a sample of Lancome's bi-facil remover, and i would still see smudges of eyeliner after my shower. with this, i get it all out of my lashes, so quickly and easily, and it DOESNT STING! That's the biggest factor. the only gripe i have about this is that it's $6.49 for a bottle at Target, and i would like to pay a bit less, but i havent tried the target version yet(:

This was the first makeup remover I've ever purchased. It costs around $5 at drugstores. It works well at taking off eye makeup. I can't say about waterproof makeup because I don't wear it, but I do know it works well at taking off regular eye makeup. The only problem was is was really oily, and blurred up my vision. When I would wash my eyes, my eyes would still stay a bit blurry, but it would eventually calm down. I just didn't enjoy how oily my eyelids and my under-eyes were, so I will not purchase this product again.

Good budget product.
Gentle, leaves a slight slick residue when cleansing, which is good as it stops you pulling on the delicate skin around your eyes. This is easily removed with a tiny bit of normal face cleanser.
Unfortunately does not remove my mascara, but this may be because I use a tubing macara, and I don't think drugstore products are really formulated for removing that (given most drugstore mascaras are not tubing).
May need better packaging, but nice, inexpensive product that really does remove eye makeup.

Ok this does remove eye MU, wp mascara, eyeliners and ALL the colors of ES you could every apply on your eyelid. BUT.... *drum rolls* it irritated my skin and my eyes (I accidentally opened my left eye a little bit and it burned). Also, it leaves a film of oil on my skin, yucks....
With this product you really get a bang for your buck! At my local CVS i picked it up while on sale so it came out around $4-$5 so it's very cheap for the amount you get.
I usually only apply this with a cotton ball if i'm wearing heavy eye makeup, or waterproof mascara. You just need to work it into your eye area for maybe 20-30 seconds, not too rough (you don't want to take out any lashes) & it'll take off practically all the makeup you were wearing!
The only downside to this is it's oily/greasy, even if it states it's oil-free. It shouldn't be a problem though since you should wash your face afterwards anyways.
As a remover in general, this product is the best. It is about $6 at Walgreens. When I used this to take off all of my eye makeup (while washing my face at night), I noticed I went through a lot of the product, so I try to only use this for fixing smudges and makeup mistakes. However, if I do have a hard time removing an extra stubborn mascara, this will do the trick! My only issue, is despite this being oil-free, this is VERY greasy feeling. Overall one of the best eye makeup removers I've found, though!
This works very well. I have a cute trick. I kept an old mascara brush and cleaned it off with Dawn. I stick in the bottle and use that to get it on my eyelashes. That way I don't have to rub as much or risk getting in my eye as I try to apply it to the part of the lash with the mascara with my finger or a Q-tip. You don't need to use as much. Before I had to use a lot and rub a lot. I was almost ready to give up on mascara, because of the hassle of removing even non-waterproof.
I have tried other make up removers and I like this. I don't need oil free, but some of those oily ones get in your eyes and make you see blurry. Mary Kay and L'Oreals version work too. So far I like this best. There probably is CVS or Duane Reade Equivalent that is just as good.

Overall, excellent product at a decent price. This is my go-to drugstore remover. I would like a smaller opening, but other than that, it's fabulous. When I can't splurge on my Mary Kay remover (fave!!) or Clinique, this is my best option. Apply it with a cotton round, not cotton ball and you use half as much product. I wear a lot of eye makeup and it does the trick! No irritability either. :)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Works well to remove most eye makeup. I put it on a cotton ball/pad, swipe my lids, and work it into the lashes/lash line for about 20-30 seconds, then rinse with water. Sometimes need to repeat, but really not often. It does leave a greasy film. I find that that doesn't last long enough to really be bothersome. The product doesn't irritate my skin or eyes.
The opening of the bottle is too large, but I can deal with it!
Overall a good product and very affordably priced.
I think this can be the best eye makeup remover I've ever used, and I've used a lot, from expensive (Lancome, Clinique) to cheap (Neutrogena, Boots Botanics).
This removes my eye makeup with ease, all I have to do is wet a cotton round, and put it on my eye, and wait about 20 seconds. It removes my waterproof mascara really well too, and it doesn't irritate my eyes ( I wear contacts too). It's less greasy than some other highly rated removers like Boots Botanics, Lumene, or Clinique, and works just as well if not better.
The only thing I don't like is the packaging. I really wish they put a cap on the bottle opening to make the opening smaller, so it'll be easier to control how much remover you want.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. History The game was originally released in arcades by UPL under the name Task Force Harrier in 1989. Two years later, Treco added the 'EX' and brought the game over to the Sega Genesis and Megadrive. The console port contained a number of significant differences, including altered cutscenes and the ability to place your 'wingman' allies in four positions on screen instead of one as it was in arcades. Task Force Harrier EX was not a large commercial success, and has faded into relative obscurity in recent years. Story Task Force Harrier has players take control of a Harrier Jump Jet and battle communist Russian forces bent on world domination. The Russians have the TU-190 bomber at their disposal, and pose enough of a threat to cause the United Nations to declare Defcon 2. The player is forced to unleash the full power of their Harrier jet to defeat the enemy before they achieve their nefarious goal. Gameplay Task Force Harrier is a classic vertical scrolling shooter, and plays very similarly to Raiden. The player's Harrier jet is equipped with machine guns, flash bombs, ground weapons and missiles, many which can be powered up throughout the course of the game. Additionally, the player has access to 'wingmen'- allies that can be positioned strategically onscreen and that will attack enemies with their own set of weapons. The stages of the game range from low to the ground battles to high altitutde encounters, all of which take place inside Russian territory.

NEW YORK (AP) - Pablo Sandoval drove in three runs with three hits, including an RBI double with two outs in the ninth inning that sent the San Francisco Giants over the New York Mets 4-3 Monday.
The Giants took three of four at Citi Field. The Mets lost a home series for the first time since June 10-12 against Milwaukee.
Sandoval hit a two-run double in the third, then delivered again in the ninth.
Gregor Blanco singled with two outs off Jenrry Mejia (5-4) and stole second, and Buster Posey drew his fourth walk of the game. Sandoval followed by slicing a ground-rule double into the seats down the left-field line. Mejia hadn't allowed a run since June 30.
Sergio Romo (5-3) got the win and Santiago Casilla pitched a perfect ninth for his ninth save.

Why authentic hand engraving? The many years required to develop the hand and eye coordination necessary for traditional hand engraving cannot be avoided. Electric powered or compressed air "engraving" tools wedded to a 20x micrcroscope will cut a lot of very narrow lines with a minimum amount of skill required by the operator. While these types of mechanical assist engravings when executed by good artists sometimes take very good photos, they may seem lacking when viewed "in the hand".
The claim that employing an electric or air powered tool is "hand engraving" is inaccurate from the perspective of the general public. For example, "hand polished" is not the result of polishing using a polishing wheel because the part is held in the hand.
Some non-traditionalists use photo-engraving whereupon a little acid resist, prepared film and light will instantly give a highly detailed result. The operator can deepen a few lines here and there over the photo-engraving with an air impact tool to improve the depth of some of the shallow etched lines. In some cases the engraved lines are still not deep enough so the operator/engraver rubs black ink into the engraving to better define it so that it takes a good photograph.
Acid etching, stamped engraving, and plating are valid methods for creating beautiful designs on firearms but, traditional hand engraving using the time proven techniques of a hammer and chisel always achieves a more authentic and better result for most of us.
William Morris (father of the Arts and Craft Movement) put this issue to rest over 100 years ago
Welcome to our world of gun dogs and gun engraving. Our karma is
our faithful dogs,
the excitement of the flush,
the beauty of figured wood,
gold on polished steel.
and clean engraved cuts forming lines of beauty.
For some of us
these are the things of love and art in our lives
that bridge heaven and earth.
The hammer and chisel with the hand burin are the only tools used for true hand engraving
"Set yourselves as much as possible against all machine-work
(this to all men). But if you have to design for machine-work, at least let your
design show clearly what it is. Make it mechanical with a vengeance, at the same
time as simple at possible.
Don't try, for instance, to make a printed plate
look like a hand-painted one: make it something which no one would try to do if
he were painting by hand, if your market drives you into printed plates: I don't
see the use of them myself.
To sum up, don't let yourselves be made machines, or
it is all up with you as artists
no man is so clumsy or base a workman that he is not fit for something better than
that. " ("that" being
the use of machines to replace hand work.
Art and Beauty of the Earth
, by William Morris
