Consults with Julian - UPDATE
Hi everyone... We're trying something a little different so please read this post!
- Instead of calling the shop to book a consult, you will now send Julian an email at firstname.lastname@example.com
- Please put "consultation request" as the subject line of your email
- In the email, give a brief description of your idea and where on your body you want the tattoo. (If it is a cover-up, please include a picture of the work to be covered.)
- Put your phone number in the email so he can call you back.
- Due to being a really busy guy, Julian will only be responding to the emails/ideas he is currently interested in taking on. If you don't hear back in 2 weeks please understand that he won't take on your project at this time but you are welcome to ask again later, refine your idea, or make a request for something else.
- If he is interested in your project, he will email or call you to set up a consultation time.
Our hope is that not only will Julian be able to focus more closely on projects that inspire him artistically, but the wait times will also get shorter for the people getting tattooed.
* The process for getting consultations with Sarah and Rhonda remains the same as usual, call the shop or email them directly.

How to Build a Discovery Feature for Course Platforms with PredictionIO
17 Sep 2013
Many startups of late are taking the education industry by storm. Take Coursera as an example. It partners with top universities and colleges in the world to offer free higher education courses to anyone in the world. More examples of online course platforms include Udemy, Memrise, edX, Codecademy, Udacity, Treehouse, Lore, Chegg, 2u, Knewton and Minerva Project.
With the increased number and variety of courses on offer, users often have to spend a lot of time browsing the courses and picking what they want. If you are building a similar service, you can make this discovery process more time-efficient by integrating PredictionIO into your app.
We are going to use two examples to show you how to give more relevant choices to users while they are browsing courses, and how to suggest courses to users personally based on their own previous choices, and the preferences of other users who have similar studying patterns.
1. People who like this course may also like….
Udemy and others recommend related courses when users are browsing course information pages. It is similar to Amazon's famous "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought" feature.
Building this feature with PredictionIO takes just a few steps:
Step 1: Install PredictionIO Server
Follow the instructions in http://docs.prediction.io/current/installation/index.html to install PredictionIO.
When the installation is complete, go to the PredictionIO Admin Panel to add a new application (app) for the service you are building. You will then obtain an App Key, which is needed later when you integrate the PredictionIO SDK.
Step 2: Install the SDK in Your Development Language
PredictionIO provides SDK in various languages. Python is used in this example. Execute the following shell command. This will install the SDK package on your machine:
Step 3: Integrate the PredictionIO SDK into Your Application for Importing Data
Now you have finished the integration which handles the data import.
Step 4: Create an Item Similarity Engine
To build this "People who like this course may also like…." feature, you need an Item Similarity Engine.
Go to PredictionIO Admin Panel, add an Item Similarity Engine. Specify an engine name that will be used in your code to retrieve prediction results from this engine (this will be explained in the next step). The default algorithm will be deployed automatically. You can fine-tune it later.
When the engine status changes to "Running", it means the prediction results are ready.
Step 5: Query Prediction Results
By adding the above code, you have fully integrated PredictionIO into your application and have built a new feature of suggesting similar courses for your users!
2. Courses We Recommend to You Personally
Not only that, PredictionIO can help predict users' future study preferences personally by analyzing their previous choices. These choices are closely linked to the users' previous choices and truly reflect their interests. This is how Memrise's course recommendation looks like:
Building this feature with PredictionIO is also straightforward.
Assuming you have installed PredictionIO and have integrated the SDK for importing data as described above, all you need to do is to add a new Item Recommendation Engine, and add code to retrieve prediction results from it.
Step 1: Create an Item Recommendation Engine
The steps are exactly the same as the ones taken for adding the Item Similarity Engine.
Step 2: Query Prediction Results.
With the above code, the personalization feature has been built!
In fact, PredictionIO can go one step further and make it even more personalized for your users. For example, after a user has finished a course, why not send a congratulatory email to the user alongside a few course suggestions? Based upon what other users with similar learning patterns and interests have studied, or simply some popular choices in a related subject. It is up to you what you want to do with PredictionIO to make your app smarter and easier to use!

NDEL1 is a binding partner of LIS1 that participates in the regulation of cytoplasmic dynein function and microtubule organization during mitotic cell division and neuronal migration. NDEL1 preferentially localizes to the centrosome and is a likely target for cell cycle-activated kinases, including CDK1. In particular, NDEL1 phosphorylation by CDK1 facilitates katanin p60 recruitment to the centrosome and triggers microtubule remodeling. Here, we show that Aurora-A phosphorylates NDEL1 at Ser251 at the beginning of mitotic entry. Interestingly, NDEL1 phosphorylated by Aurora-A was rapidly downregulated thereafter by ubiquitination-mediated protein degradation. In addition, NDEL1 is required for centrosome targeting of TACC3 through the interaction with TACC3. The expression of Aurora-A phosphorylation-mimetic mutants of NDEL1 efficiently rescued the defects of centrosomal maturation and separation which are characteristic of Aurora-A-depleted cells. Our findings suggest that Aurora-A-mediated phosphorylation of NDEL1 is essential for centrosomal separation and centrosomal maturation and for mitotic entry.

By Helen Freund, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune
The cab driver gunned down in the Treme neighborhood Thursday morning
was weeks away from bringing his wife and two children from Ethiopia to live in New Orleans, friends of the slain driver said. Sheicho Delbar, 35, who was found shot several times, slumped over the wheel of his American Taxi cab, had moved to New Orleans from his home in Addis Ababa to make a better life for his family, friends said.
Police said officers responded to a call of a vehicle that had crashed into a tree around 1 a.m. and found Delbar's body in the driver's seat of the taxi, which had smashed into a tree in the 900 block of North Johnson Street. He was dead on the scene, authorities said.
Delbar had been shot in the chest, said John Gagilano, chief investigator for the Orleans Parish coroner's office. He did not appear to have suffered any injuries as a result of the crash, Gagliano said, and the death has been ruled a homicide.
Delbar was in the process of completing the paperwork necessary to bring his family to New Orleans, a close friend said. "He had two young children and a wife. He was getting ready to fly home next month and bring them to live here with him," said Enku Tadesse, who drives a Veteran's taxicab in the city.
"He was such a sweet person, such a nice guy. I'm so very sad," said Tadesse.
Tadesse said Delbar, who began working as a cab driver in New Orleans in 2010, was part of the close-knit cabbie community in the city and was well-liked. Many drivers are concerned about the funeral arrangements, and whether to fly Delbar's body back to Africa, since he has limited family in New Orleans, Tadesse said.
Delbar is the 23rd cabdriver in New Orleans to be killed on the job since 1994, according to City Hall statistics.
The most recent was Dec. 16, when 56-year-old Joseph Wilfred was found shot to death inside a cab near the corner of South Claiborne Avenue and Hollygrove Street after his car hit a construction barrier. Wilfred worked for a Metairie-based cab company and police believe he was slain during a robbery.
In July 2012, United Cab driver Ali Husnain, 44, was found dead inside a cab in eastern New Orleans after picking up a fare in the Central Business District. Again, police said they believe Husnain was shot after a robbery.
While NOPD investigators have not publicly named a motive in Delbar's slaying, other cab drivers said armed hold-ups are all too common.
"I've been driving a cab in New Orleans for 10 years and a lot of my friends have been held up and threatened with guns, knives — but this is the first time one of my homeboys was killed," a teary-eyed Tadesse said.
Under an ordinance passed in April 2012, all taxis in New Orleans are required to have a security camera, a panic button that triggers a silent alarm that notifies dispatchers of danger, and GPS tracking systems.
"We believe that our drivers are safer today than they were before," Malachi Hull, director of the New Orleans Taxicab and For-Hire Bureau, said in a statement.
Delbar is the first New Orleans taxicab driver to be killed since the reform ordinances were passed.
Some cab drivers say that the security measures — which cost cab owners approximately $2,000 to install — aren't enough.
"Our safety is in jeopardy whether we have the cameras or not," Tadesse said. "The city has said that these things are supposed to make us safe, but clearly they are not doing the job."
Taxicabs with bulletproof partitions, which are common in cities like New York and Chicago, are absent in most New Orleans cabs.
The car Delbar was driving was equipped with all the required security measures, but did not have a partition, an employee of American Taxi who wished to remain anonymous said. "He had all of the equipment, but in the end it didn't do him any good," the employee said.
Another common complaint from New Orleans cab drivers is that according to city law, drivers are not allowed to refuse a ride to anyone. One provision cab drivers hope will help to lower the number of drivers killed is a bill passed in August 2012 which makes killing a working cab driver first-degree murder. The bill requires that the killer have a specific intent to kill or inflict harm on the cab driver.
Homicide Detective Timothy Bender is in charge of the investigation.
Police ask anyone who has information on Delbar's murder to call Crimestoppers at 504.822.1111 or toll-free at 877.903.7867. Tips can also be texted to C-R-I-M-E-S (274637); text TELLCS then the crime information. Callers or texters do not have to give their names or testify and can earn a $2,500 reward for information that leads to an indictment.

ZiL is a major Russian truck and heavy equipment manufacturer, which also produced armored cars for most Soviet leaders, as well as buses, armored fighting vehicles, and aerosani. The company also produces hand-built limousines and high-end luxury sedans in extremely low quantities, primarily for the Russian government. ZiL passenger cars are priced at the equivalent of models from Maybach and Rolls-Royce, but are largely unknown outside the CIS and production rarely exceeds a dozen cars per year.
Let's visit its limousine production department and find out what their secret and plans for the future are.
They stopped their limo mass production in 1999. Actually, they never put their limos into mass production because each car is individual and handmade. In the Soviet time, they would produce about 25 limos a year. However, in the early 2000s there was no necessity to produce these cars anymore because government officials switched to the Mercedes. They resumed the work in 2007 and now they manufacture and repair their old or damaged models.
"Be careful while working!"
So, how and who they assemble their limos for?
Hand assembling.
Right now, this old limo with bullet holes on the windows is being repaired. After the reconstruction, it is going to look just like new.
Most of the limos by ZiL can be found in private collections. They are really very valuable because each limo is handmade and unique.
ZiL limos are equipped with 8-cylinder 7.7 l 315 hp engines! Their fuel consumption is 30 to 40 l for 100 km; maximum speed is claimed to be 200 km/h. It's almost a sports car which costs ZiL from 100 to 150 thousand dollars to produce (each). They sell their limos for about 250 thousand dollars which is obviously overpriced.

It always takes courage to take up the subject of restructuring—whether it involves just the personal life, or our very society. Openness takes even more courage…and humility. We are talking about the state and the individual and the relationship between. Well, structuring, in general, is a big question which involves the relationship of what we might call the "without" to the "within"… and how that might remain always alive and fluid.
How to go to the core of principle and then think outward to application is a big task indeed, and obviously (in the temporal and the spiritual world) the structures we build eventually come apart and have to be rethought/rebuilt, I follow the news and I wonder if this is indeed what we are doing now? Is that what we are doing in this country—in the whole world?
I remember the huge tent villages my children used to create in our living room during the hot desert summers. I just watched with utter fascination and admiration as I saw those encampments grow bigger and bigger, taking up the walking space so that we had to tiptoe along the walls to get across the room at all, but I certainly had not the heart to interrupt their process. Eventually, and this would happen several times throughout a summer, the structures would come apart, as the quilts, fastened onto card tables by encyclopedias and other improvised objects, would begin to slip from their alignments. The disarray would spread across the entire 'village' and then when it got too unmanageable for them, they would take it all down and begin again. It was an amazing process to watch. They all just worked together, the three of them, and no one seemed to be the "boss."
This really big and deep macro question of how to bring about the optimum development of society and the individual, at the same time, has been with me since I was fairly young. I might mention here Sophocles' Antigone (rights of the individual vis-à-vis the state), and the work of Edward Deming (in his development of group work practices) in helping Japan rebuild after WWII. For my personal spiritual journey, in their contemplation of evolution, Loren Eiseley (evolving out of the tidepools) and Teilhard de Chardin (radial energy), have helped me along the way to come to some comforting thoughts within myself. I treat of this more specifically and at some length in our book Conscious Evolution: The Dance of Intuition and Intellect in the section entitled "Unity: Drawing Together from the Within"…from Chapter Five, I share this excerpt here below:
Unity: Drawing Together from the Within
When we speak of the "within"—what are we meaning? Sri Aurobindo often said that, even in our very cells, we are lit by God Light at the core. We are lit by god light…what does that mean?
Richard Grossinger, contemplates this phenomenon we call light in his book The Night Sky. In his chapter on occult astronomy he discusses with a characteristic look at the writings of others [especially Pierre Teilhard de Chardin--who wrote so much about the "within"] and then makes his own intuitive mystical synthesis:
So we can look at the sky as a screen of hydrogen fires, or we can look at the same light as the divine component of creation transmitted eternally. The sun is the local embodiment of this material, and the Earth is constructed of solar material. When we imagine the primordial seas with their millennial rains and steam, the upheaval of the molten core, the emergence of bare rock, and the clinging life mantle, we can intuit an inside to this process so that the astral is transmitted through the elemental.
… We are encouraged to look anew into the night sky, and it is a hive of cells and souls traversed by divine light and the archetypal data of creation. In Gurdjieff's system, light carries information from higher worlds into lower ones, information which can be transformed by physical nourishment and breath back into astral thought. (Richard Grossinger in The Night Sky, pp.49-50) (77:49-50)
"When we imagine the primordial seas…" Can we then be like the ancient small creatures (as so eloquent described by Loren Eiseley in The Immense Journey) learning to survive in the residual tide pools as the oceans receded and withdrew from the land. These small creatures internalized the seawater—that which had been their supporting environment—and developed the circulatory system. Through individuation, having internalized the supporting environment, the codes and mores of our evolving social institutions, we can draw together by using the force of radial energy from the heart. We might think of this radial energy as 'entropised' energy which has built up our 'within'—rather than having been dissipated throughout the aeons—radial energy now makes a rich conserve within the heart of humanity. Radial energy allows for the drawing together from within rather than being pushed together from without—thus allowing the optimum development of the individual as well as, and simultaneously with the whole, the collective, the community, the society,
It is basic to an evolving consciousness to understand that, to a more or less degree depending on circumstances, all persons are bound together in ties of consciousness. We are unified from our initial creation as a spiritual being. Our energy source is shared, thus enabling us to communicate without verbal speech. Reality extends beyond time and space.
Spiritually, we know that we must transcend the i of singularity and appreciate the ties to all life. By transcending the small i we begin to fully appreciate the spiritual bonds uniting us. This is a turning point in our lives, in our very consciousness. We finally know ourselves in togetherness. The isolation of the i has led to greed, aggression and war. Togetherness corrects those ills and accounts for so much more. Relating as companions for the journey, we can move the world forward to an entirely new dimension of being. Of this we are sure, a simple awareness exists within nature, evolving into higher forms as the spiral ascends. We have moved from that simple awareness to a human consciousness that, at this time on earth, must evolve into a higher consciousness of oneness with all that there is, if we are to fulfill our destiny and evolve humanity from the darkness of our age. Aggression, greed, self-centeredness, and war can now be seen in the light of horrible negativity and immaturity. Our evolving consciousness ushers in a new era of maturity and life.
We believe that the unity we seek can begin to be found if we first establish a dialogical connection with the expanded consciousness of what we call "the inner dimensions." This direct knowledge of unity can be experienced and lived. It is our inner and our outer which together form our authentic essence. Understanding and experiencing this requires an openness filled with courage to change and transcend, to evolve and mature. To be locked into previous immature beliefs is to live within a cage of past shadows.
Again, we come back to the discussion of meditative practice for access to the "within." The source of this experience is not physical. It is far greater than that. This knowledge, awaiting to be found, now gained by experience, is attained by a leap beyond our physical body, utilizing deep contemplation and/or meditation in order to pierce false blinders and limitations.
By having the courage to go beyond the traditional, the very core of our awareness is expanded. We can learn to live, even for brief moments, in a higher more integrated state of consciousness. Veils are pierced as a greater degree of knowing is lived. The gateway to reality is found as we encounter and go beyond the human made web of appearances and hurdles.
We all have come into the physical dimension for individual, positive goals. We don't know of any and we can't seek a supposed God's plan by e-mail. No such plan has ever been known. It would be the height of folly to suppose that we can find one. We are not slaves, even to God, and can only conceive of individual plans, developed deep within ourselves and with help from our guides, hinted at in mystical experiences. These plans are always developed for our greater good and the good of humankind.
Our goal and that which leads us to a human unity is an internal, intuitional knowing, through individual experience at a higher level, that we are all part of the family of living beings. We can and must make our unique contributions to that in our own unique way. The grand goal is the fulfillment of our individual missions in that grand togetherness—the blending of our temporary world of appearances with that of the everlasting Reality. When we, on this planet, commit to the fulfillment we can begin, step by step, project by project, relationship by relationship, to finally move forward on a beauty path that is a winning one for each inhabitant, and for our individual and collective existence on this Earth. When that inner knowing, accelerated by contemplation and meditation is experienced, the march forward will be one with the hurdles overcome. As we move along the path we slowly gain deeper appreciation and understanding, leaving behind the commitment to a narrow world view.
Immersion and total commitment to a specific institution or world view, although helpful and even necessary in providing early scaffolding, structure and support, if allowed to monitor or censure our thoughts, can also be a barrier. Such entanglements must be cast aside if we are to go forward with complete freedom of unrestricted thinking.
The above recommendation may be viewed as suspicious by those who are afraid of thinking itself. Ralph Waldo Emerson provided a profound response to that thought years ago. He suggested that if we are all meditating on the same source we will achieve answers appropriate for each individual and always moving us toward the common unity where it all began. Meditation can overcome differences in intellectual reasoning since it can take us beyond a school or book or belief driven interpretation of encounter.
If a new self is to be found there must be courage and love in the attempt to ascend the ladder. We have often said that we must go "naked" toward the spiritual domain in meditation. We clearly meant that we go with an open mind, free from all intellectual persuasions or biases. All who have succeeded in meditation would support that recommendation. It is foolish to draw strict parameters if one is seeking a truth beyond the human. That experience is one of an intimacy with our birthright, that final awakening of our expanded consciousness, the experience of inner, loving relationships with all levels of creation, including the Divine. It is the majestic experience of loving knowledge that binds together the unity of humankind and the spiritual where false subjectivity has no home. There, only love and harmony are to be found. Now, here, that time has come.— (Sheldon Stoff and Barbara Smith Stoff are also authors of a new book—The Akashic Field: It Makes Every Place in the Universe Part of the Neighborhood)

Reading manager Brian McDermott is still waiting for his first Premier League victory after nine attempts.
Saturday, November 10, 2012
Reading boss Brian McDermott is confident his side will soon stop throwing away leads as they go in search of their first Premier League win of the season against the Canaries.
The Royals are 18th in the table and are yet to register a victory since their return to the top flight, despite taking the lead in five of their nine league outings so far.
Reading were pegged back yet again last weekend after taking the lead at fellow strugglers QPR, but McDermott insists that precious win will come as they look to avert a swift return to the Football League.
"This is the Premier League, you don't expect to go 1-0 up and everybody to go 'oh ok the game's over' it isn't like that," said McDermott. "It isn't necessarily concentration that is the problem, I've been through situations; when I first took the job we were drawing an awful lot of games and couldn't win.
"I've been through situations where we couldn't score a goal in the first-half, 18 games I think last season where we couldn't score in the first half. I've been in situations where we have conceded late goals and we have always addressed it. We have always tried to address things and it is the same now, once we get in front we want to address that situation - once we get in front we want to keep a clean sheet and win the game and that is another challenge."
Clean sheets have also proved elusive this season with the Berkshire club not managing to keep their opponents at bay in any competition to date and McDermott is keen to improve on that statistic.
"Well we would definitely like to keep clean sheets, obviously every team would like to keep clean sheets and we are no different," he said. "Last year we kept a load of clean sheets so that is something we really need to be working on – we went in front again the other day against QPR and unfortunately they got a 60-odd minute goal and that is something we need to do, we need to keep clean sheets and we have worked on that and will be working on that."
Despite not seeing his side pick up three points from a Premier League game after the latest episode at Loftus Road on Sunday, McDermott has been pleased with the attitude of his charges to the huge challenge of stepping up into the big time.
"Every performance has given me heart, bar Spurs (a 3-1 defeat)," he said. "If you look at what has actually happened in the nine games in this league we have drawn five games and lost four. By definition if you have drawn five you could have won them, I definitely think of those five, three of them we should have won. You can't be selective in your choosing, every time we go out and play we are trying to win that particular game. It is not a target of 'this is this team, we are going to win it' that is disrespectful and I would definitely not do that."
Reading's Russian owner Anton Zingarevich has reportedly told the media in his homeland that he has a list of 10 players he hopes to take to the Madejski during the January transfer window.
McDermott played down those reports and wants to keep focused on today's match with Norwich City, who he believes have started to find their form after a shaky start to the campaign.
"It is November, let's talk about November, let's talk about Norwich," he said. "You'd have to ask the owner about the 10 players, sometimes Anton might say something in Russia and it will get broadcast.
"What we wouldn't do and would never want to do is talk about players at other clubs.
"I watched them (Norwich) when they played Spurs at White Hart Lane and they played really well, I think they drew the game but they possibly could have won.
"They have just picked up and have got seven points from the last three games so we know that they are about and they will know what we are about, I'm just looking forward to the game now, I really am."

Cherenkov Radiation
Name: Clarence Status: student Grade: 9-12 Location: CA Country: N/A Date: 2/1/2005
Hi, I am a curious 12th grade student. I was searching the Internet and came across "Cherenkov radiation". I looked it up and started to understand the "sonic boom" effect and the interference. This is one of the web sites I went to:
But there is some things I do not understand.
1 How can a charged particle be traveling faster than the speed of light?
2 If it is possible for something to travel faster than the speed of light, what medium would it have to be traveling through?
3 What is an "optically transparent medium"? http://www.britannica.com/nobel/micro/120_33.html And finally, how do electrons and positrons relate to the Cherenkov radiation?
A charged particle, say an electron, that is generated -- say in a vacuum -- passes through water shielding the particle accelerator its speed may exceed the speed of light IN THAT MEDIUM, WATER, NOT IN A VACUUM. The charged particle emits the characteristic radiation you have found at the web site you cited. The "faster than the speed of light" must be modified by (in the medium). If instead of an electron, the particle is a gamma ray the decays to an electron/positron pair the momentum of the gamma ray can be determined directly.
See: http://dept.physics.upenn.edu/balloon/cerenkov_radiation.html
What is meant by an "optically transparent medium" is the common definition of the term. It means a medium like water that is essentially transparent to visible light. Of course, no medium is absolutely transparent, there is always some scattering of the photons.
Vince Calder
Two things are meant here by the "speed of light":
1) the rate at which light propagates in vacuum. This is the speed that no particle or information transfer can exceed (we think)
2) the rate at which light moves through a volume of space that includes charged particles. (Anything you can touch fits this description.) This speed can be slower that the speed of light in vacuum because it includes effects of light interacting with those charged particles -- being absorbed and re-radiated, etc.
An optically transparent medium is a material that is transparent to visible light -- i.e., anything you can see through.

In Libya, perfecting the art of revolution by Twitter
Every generation's revolutionaries have harnessed the latest technology, from patriots pamphleting in 1775 to Egyptians texting in 2011. Thanks to YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook, today's Libyan rebels are having a dialogue with the globe, not just each other.
Social media website via Reuters TV
An Egyptian cab driver tells this joke to foreign reporters: President Hosni Mubarak dies and is greeted in the afterlife by former Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, who asks him how he died. Mr. Mubarak answers, "Death by Twitter."
Much has been written about the role of new media such as Twitter and Facebook in the so-called "Jasmine Revolution" that has swept the Middle East. But political rebels using the latest communication technology – from hand pamphlets to fax machines – is as old as tyranny.
What's new is the speed and exponential power of today's new media to jump over traditional boundaries of time and space, says Philip Howard, author of "The Digital Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy: Information Technology and Political Islam."
Non-violent protesters and armed rebels all over the region have begun marshaling this unprecedented power to their cause.
"The media war is as important as the battlefield … if not more important," a Libyan businessman, known only as Mohammed, told NPR. He is spearheading a delegation from Misurata to Qatar in search of weapons and money.

The date was January 1, in the first year of the Anno Domini era. Someone — a peasant? an apostle? those talking bushes the Bible was always mentioning? — turned to someone else and remarked wryly, "Hey. It's 1/1/1." A chuckle was shared. The date was sanctified.
And for millennia since, the practice has carried forth, reveling in its timeless glory. Today marks December 12, 2012 — 12/12/12 — a particularly magnificent embodiment of the phenomenon as it marks the last time we'll see such numerical poetry overrun our calendars until the turn of the 22nd Century... and we'll probably all be too busy serving the tyrannical Zorlog by then to even enjoy it. So we must make the most of today! As such, we at Hollywood.com (a regular gaggle of duodecaphiliacs — and it's not often we get to grab ahold of this passion: it truly is eXIIting) have mustered together our 12 favorite "12" movies. Movies that represent the philosophy of the dozen. That uphold the glory of the square root of 144. That understand what it truly means to be the largest single-morpheme number in the English language. So without further ado, we present do you: The 12 Best "12" Movies!
12 Angry Men
Proof that 12 is the only number of jurors that can adequately determine the verdict in a case of justice.
Twelve Monkeys
When a pandemic overtakes a human planet, there is only one number of monkeys that can save the day: 12.
Ocean's 12
Sure, they knocked over a casino just fine with 11 dudes. But 12 dudes? That's what it takes to steal an egg, people!
Twelve and Holding
13 gets all the star power for being the scariest number. Even 23 got its shot at the title a few years back. But this movie proves that no number holds a candle to 12.
12 Rounds
Don't mess with 12! It's all about the action in this crime thriller.
The Twelve Tasks of Asterix
This German cartoon teaches us that 12 is the only appropriate number of tasks one might endure to overtake the Roman Empire.
The Twelve Chairs
Mel Brooks made this movie. It's about 12 chairs. The best number of chairs ever.
Twelve O'Clock High
War. What is it good for? Who the hell knows. But 12? That's good for everything. That's what America is all about.
Twelve Years a Slave
Michael Fassbender's Shame follow-up expresses that sometimes, 12 can be a solemn number.
Need we say more?
Barbie and the 12 Dancing Princesses
When all conceivable joy is stolen from King Randolph's empire in an effort to subjugate the young women of his lineage, the stakes escalate beyond fathomable height. Never before have Princess Genevieve and her oppressed sisters known this degree of misery, being robbed of their only creative outlet, their only true connection to themselves and one another: the art of dance. The time-honored practice of melding oneself with the air around and floor beneath her. The injection of symphony into ones veins as a superpower of sorts courses directly through the heart and mind, transforming the very entity of life itself into a dynamic miracle. In the absence of this divine right, this unsung glory, renegade heroine Barbie is charged with restoring hope to the audacious king's reign, salvaging the viscerally maimed princesses from the hell that has absconded with their souls. It's 12-tastic.
Untitled 12-Year Project
Richard Linklater has been making this movie for the 12 years. He knows the drill.

So, I play a lot of bot games. If anyone checks my records, they will see that I hardly play PVP at all. In a PVP centric game, this is a bit of a cardinal sin. I admit this. Social anxiety is my dearest foe, and though I am slowly killing off those damned butterflies in my stomach with more and more PVP ques, the vast majority of my LoL experience is against bots. I know several people like this and have met many good friends via bot games. We are by far a minority, but there are enough of us out there that I felt I'd give some feed back on the Twisted Treeline bots. For those who don't play a lot of SR bot games (or, as much as I have, anyway) there are certain advantages that the programmers give to the AI that we as Summoners don't. They have passive gold accumulation, for example. They also occasionally see through stealth and brush, and though I haven't actually observed evidence of it, I suspect they also get reduced death timers as well. All of this is to make up for the fact that the AI programming is fairly limited, though it certainly can be brutal at times. For the most part this works well, but it feels a little cheap when you totally dominate a lane for a few minutes, go do a little shopping, and then come back to a bot just as geared as you, with only 1/4 of your farm or kills. But, I digress. No AI is going to be perfect. Anyway, I just played my first Twisted Treeline bot game (my first one, proudly, as my other games on that map have all been proper PVP) and I noticed that the AI is very similar to the SR AI, though certainly more dynamic. The AI will try to capture both altars, for example, and will chase you away from theirs if they are close when you try to cap theirs. They also generate gold at a fairly rapid pace, which, given the pace and structure of TT, seems a little off to me. But overall, the AI seems fairly well done--I do have one nagging question, though, and I would love to get an answer, trivial or not. See, in the SR bot games, if you lose a fellow summoner due to disconnection, whether system problems or just quitting, the bots actually accommodate your loss. If you lose one member of your team, the bots will pull back one of their own into base, so instead of a 4v5, they adjust to make it 4v4. This is an appreciated service, and one that makes perfect sense to me--if I am playing PVP, I'm obviously looking for a more stable environment, and the bots do that wonderfully. However, in my Twisted Treeline game, we lost our third summoner and to my surprise, the game then became 2v3--the bots didn't alter their behavior. This made for a fairly stressful game, simply because the odds were stacked against the two of us remaining. Fourty Five minutes later, we finally pulled through with a slim victory. So, my question is, why does SR adjust for summoner's dropping from the game, but Twisted Treeline does not? Is that an intentional bit of design, or is it simply an oversight?

you sissy.
sounds like an oversight to me, I'm sure they'll address it.
It's something that they'll probably add eventually. I've tried a couple of the intermediate 3s bots and winning becomes very difficult if someone feeds hard and/or afks... much more than with the SR bots. Unless you're using a champion with A to S class carrying potential it can be tough to win against intermediate bots 2v3. As for your issues with PvP, people are going to rage, there is nothing you can do about that. It's unfortunate but you just gotta learn to work with those people. It will make you a better player and you'll gain higher levels of patience. This is coming from someone that enjoys bot games as well... albeit for slightly different reasons. I've mainly played bot games for testing builds and mastering champion mechanics. Once season 3 comes along with its new jungle and items, I'll probably be in customs/co-op once again testing champions, routes, and build paths.
Why did you wall of text me to say plz fix 2v3 bots?

Does it ever drive you nuts that candy companies will slap a "Fat Free!" starburst on their packages, tempting sorry dieters to indulge in a snack that is anything but "guilt free?" I can't help the sarcastic smirk on my face when I see the words "Fat Free!" emblazoned across sugar-filled indulgences.
What's the deal with fats? People are so afraid of consuming fat, likely because they assume they will then become fat. You are what you eat, right? Not necessarily, my friends. The first Food for Thought of the Fat Full Fall at Kitchen Stewardship will cover how fat is metabolized by the body and the role it plays in our bodies.
Some other topics you can look forward to:
- Are Saturated Fats Healthy or Evil?
- My Family's Journey to Full Fat Dairy
- Polyunsaturated Fats – Are they Healthy?
- Canola Oil: Friend or Foe?
- Fats you Don't Always Hear About: Coconut Oil, Ghee
- Animal Fats: Tallow, Lard
- Reading the side of your Oil Bottles (Cold-Pressed vs. Expeller-Pressed)
- Baseline Fats: What Fat do you Use for What Purpose?
For today, let's start by looking backward. A few of our Monday Missions have touched on fats. It's time to review:
Trans Fats: If there's one thing you want to learn to avoid in the quest for healthy eating, I'm convinced that this is the winner. Search Out Trans Fats is a must-read post to make sure you understand the label-reading fiasco surrounding the issue, plus why to avoid them in the first place.
Omega 3s: Americans need more of them, plain and simple. Read up on health benefits plus the scoop on salmon and flax, two big ways to increase your omega 3s.
- How to Buy Safe Salmon: Give it a skim if you're going to increase your omega-3s with salmon.
- How to Use and Store Flax Safely: Again, skim it if you use it (or want to learn how).
Monounsaturated Fats (healthy fats): Review the health benefits of monounsaturated fats and some fav foods in this category.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil: A Super Food Healthy Fat
- How to Buy, Use and Store EVOO (be careful!)
- Can You Sautee with EVOO?
Phew! Hopefully you've already read some of those. If not and you don't have time for them all, start with trans fats and EVOO.

This also isn't the first fake interview from wow.com, there was a really funny interview with Arthas right before LK came out. And, the entire AAFL series...
Non-existent characters in a game vs an actual person, yes, but it still says in the first two paragraph very clearly that this is fake.

Hands = +60 (iirc) passive haste or +1-2k fire damage. I like the haste personally, but check the ss.
Boots = +24 crit/3min CD super speed boost. Better point for point than the AP or Icewalker and the boost is crazy useful.
Belt = Frag belt, Its on a 6min CD, but eh, not that great. Nothing else can go there so its not a complete waste.
All the engineering enchants work out to be better than the plain ones, even if slightly.

Twitter developer chat for April 16, 2010, organized by category {WoW}
Apr 17th 2010 12:26PM Q: How will "active spell is more powerful" be handled with no more dot clipping?
A: How about we get rid of "a more powerful spell is active" altogether? If you have some bonehead overwriting your more powerful buff or debuff, we'd rather you handle that issue socially
Have you ever had to deal with someone overwriting the more powerful hunters mark with the untalented one? Over and over again? They dont listen, otherwise they wouldn't be a bonehead.
Reminder: Twitter developer chat today {WoW}
Apr 16th 2010 11:52AM And at least one of the class previews each day was 11:00 pm to 2:00 am US time.
Its a dev chat, it makes sense that It would be on California time.

New scam targets the WoW Launcher {WoW}
Mar 31st 2010 12:04PM I'm going to go out on a limb and say the whole launcher program is compromised, which is to say that the wow executable, is also probably compromised. Good chance theres a keylogger embedded somewhere in that mess too.
So if you see this, your probably already screwed.
I'm of the camp that common sense and education goes a long way.
Get an authenticator, pay attention to what your clicking, and teach those who share your computer to do the same.
Scattered Shots: Hunter trinkets {WoW}
Feb 22nd 2010 12:31PM Personal speculation fails me again :)
Thank you for the updated info.
I still stand by my point that its a good starting trinket, but not as good as greatness and definitely inferior to WFS, which is why it was not included on this list.
Scattered Shots: Hunter trinkets {WoW}
Feb 22nd 2010 10:08AM Whispering Fanged Skull is basically an upgraded version of Mirror of Truth.
84 Crit
1000 AP [on proc]
Procs on Crit strikes (High uptime, if you have a lot of crit - I dont have a number but on my pally its always up)
Whispering Fanged Skull
131 Crit
1100 AP [on proc]
Procs on all damage (33% [high] uptime)
Not equal but definitely not bad, especially if your still running around with blue or green trinkets - a great trinket until you can get on of the others to drop or buy greatness.
I think the reason it was not included was because greatness is a better trinket and that was the basis of the article: where to go from greatness.

Wales' income tax powers set out by the Treasury
Wales will not get the power to vary individual income tax bands - even after a referendum, the Treasury says.
It means changes to the basic rate would also have be made in tandem to the higher rates.
Earlier this month Prime Minister David Cameron said Wales would be offered some control over income tax subject to a referendum.
Meanwhile, the chief secretary to the Treasury has announced business rates will be devolved in full.
The announcement came after the Silk Commission, set up by Westminster to look into devolved powers, said Wales should be responsible for raising some of the money it spends.
In June, the commission recommended the Welsh government should have the flexibility to move each tax band independently of each other.
But the UK government will only allow what is called a "lockstep" system.
Cut in higher ratesUnder this system, every band has to be moved in tandem, so a 1p cut in the basic rate would also mean a 1p cut in the higher rates.
Scotland has never used its current income tax varying powers. Its "lockstep" powers do not come into force until 2016.
UK officials also decided against devolving Air Passenger Duty to Wales.
Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander also announced that business rates would be devolved in full to Wales and also confirmed early access to borrowing powers.
Two commissions - one conclusion.
Both Gerry Holtham and Paul Silk were tasked with examining how some income tax powers should be devolved to Wales.
Both came down firmly against importing the Scottish 'lockstep' model - so called because under this system, all three rates have to move in tandem, severely limiting policymakers' ability to deliver targeted tax cuts or rises.
Instead, they said each of the three should be independently variable to deliver maximum flexibility.
Taking their cue from Holtham and Silk, all three opposition parties in Cardiff Bay have already floated proposals for changes to individual bands.
But it seems even after a referendum, these are likely to remain a pipe dream.
Today, the Treasury's announced that the "lockstep" model is to be offered to Wales, ruling out the more flexible system.
This has important implications for the Welsh parties. It means that income tax cuts or rises will become a very blunt instrument, and the cost of a tax cut of 1p in the pound or more will run at least £150m, because it would have to cover all income tax payers in Wales.
Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander said while the UK Government was keen to offer the Welsh government powers over income tax, the "progressivity" as he put it of rates between bands should remain a matter for him and his colleagues at Westminster.
Scotland have never used their income tax varying powers.
It will take a brave politician in Wales who would shift the whole income tax system up or down under the lockstep system - no matter how popular a tax cut might be with Welsh voters.
He said: "Since the formation of the Welsh Assembly 15 years ago, it's been in a unique position and not necessarily for the right reasons.
"It's been able to spend money and make laws but it has never had any control over how it raises through tax.
"For too long Westminster hasn't been treating the Welsh Assembly like an equal partner.
"Today's detailed response to the Silk Commission represents a major step forward of Wales within the United Kingdom.
"We are delivering tax and borrowing powers to the people of Wales to help their nation flourish in partnership with the rest of the UK.
"We are providing twin tools which can drive investment, rebuild infrastructure and secure a more prosperous future.
"These are decisions that demonstrates that all parts of the UK benefit from working closely alongside one another and another demonstration that we are better together."
A referendum will ask the people of Wales if they would like to see a "lockstep" system introduced.
The Welsh Secretary David Jones urged the Welsh government to hold a referendum soon. He said his party would campaign for a "yes" vote in order to cut tax rates by 1p or more.
Paul Silk, chair of the commission, said he was "pleased" the majority of the recommendations had been taken forward by the UK government.
Strong case"In our first report we presented a strong case for allowing the Welsh government to set the rate for each band of income tax separately. We note that income tax devolution will be taken forward based on the Scottish model and look forward to the debate that will follow.
"Today's response is an important step forward. The implementation of our recommendations will bring the empowerment and responsibility we believe is necessary for devolved government in Wales."
Since the Assembly was formed in 1999, there has been growing calls for its powers to be expanded.
In 2011, a referendum was passed giving the institution the ability to pass its own laws in 20 areas - without having to get permission from Westminster first.
Five months later, the Silk Commission was set up.
"Start Quote
End Quote Jane Hutt Wales' Finance MinisterThe Silk Commission and the Welsh government put forward strong cases in favour of the tax being devolved"
Wales' Finance Minister, Jane Hutt, said she was pleased with the devolution of non-domestic business rates to Wales.
Ms Hutt joined Mr Jones and Mr Alexander at the press conference in Cathays Park, Cardiff.
She said: "This is another important lever to support the economy.
"It will give us the same flexibility already enjoyed by Scottish ministers."
However, referring to long-haul air passenger duty, Ms Hutt said she "could not pretend" that the Welsh government had got everything it asked for.
She said: "The Silk Commission and the Welsh government put forward strong cases in favour of the tax being devolved.
"It has already been devolved to Northern Ireland, so I will continue to press this case."
Ms Hutt also said it would be a Welsh government priority to get the income tax referendum "on the statute book".
She added: "I've always been clear that any new powers coming to Wales should be for a purpose - to help create jobs and support the economy."
Paul Davies AM, shadow Conservative minister for finance, welcomed the announcements.
"Under these plans, the Welsh government will be made fully accountable for its spending decisions for the first time and forced to deliver value for money for taxpayers," he said.
"We back the enabling of a referendum on the devolution of income tax and look forward to working with other parties to set out a clear roadmap to giving the people of Wales their say."
Mr Davies said the proposals would "bring an end to the Welsh Labour government's culture of whingeing and blaming Westminster for its problems".
Kirsty Williams, leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats, called it an "important step forward" for the country.
"At every stage we have been pressing, and we will continue to press, to bring more accountability and responsibility to the Welsh government," she said.
"We want Wales to have further powers to drive forward Wales' economic development, creating jobs and prosperity for our people."
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood called for the UK government to reconsider and follow the commission's recommendations in full.
"The Silk Commission's recommendations were a package which should be accepted by everybody and not cherry-picked," she said.
"It was recommended that Wales should have income tax varying powers that would allow us to change the three rates of income tax according to what is best for Wales, rather than the UK Government's lockstep that would force us to raise or lower all rates together at the same time."
On the devolution of business rates, the Federation of Small Businesses in Wales said it had been "consistently and forcefully" campaigning for it.
"The full devolution of powers over non-domestic rates to Cardiff Bay now opens the way for the reform of the current Welsh business rates regime, which is the most onerous for small businesses in any constituent nation of the UK," said the FSB's Iestyn Davies.
CBI Wales director Emma Watkins added: "Businesses will hope that full devolution of business rates will encourage the Welsh government to support development and attract new investment."
