[[caption-width-right:350: The British Naval and Military salutes, respectively. No that's not a typo. Yes we know that is a US general. See below for details.]]
The Military Salute is a long-standing tradition of military forces around the world, and it is obviously the most visible and known gesture of military protocol to the average civilian. There is an urban myth that it evolved out of a custom in which mediaeval knights opened their visors with their weapon-hand to be recognised and to show that they were not armed; in fact it evolved from the former custom of men removing their hats as a sign of respect. This is the reason that in some military outfits (such as the US Marines Corps) it is incorrect to salute when you are not wearing a "cover". (In other outfits customs are different, and salutes are given when bare-headed; meanwhile, in many armies, including the Russian one, it is expressly forbidden to salute without a hat on) The salute evolved because of the introduction of headwear that could no longer be taken off easily with just one hand, especially bearskin caps and mitre-shaped grenadier caps. In the 18th century, when the military salute was first introduced, there were situation when it was still possible to give it with the left hand, e. g. on parade when the saluting officer was holding a spontoon in his right hand.
Different armies in the world have different small details that distinguish their salutes (as can be seen in the picture above), but most of them still follow a certain pattern: the arm is lifted up perpendicular to the side of the body and bent at the elbow, forming an angle around 30 degrees, the hand is open straight with fingers joined, and the fingers touch the temple (or the lip of the visor when with headgear). The salute is dropped by lowering the hand back to the side of the body.
In the English speaking world, which here means the US and the commonwealth there are two types of salutes. The first, with palm facing outwards, is the "British military salute." This is used by the armies and air forces of most Commonwealth countries. Its origins are with the British Army. The other which is palm downwards, originating with the Royal Navy is the British "Naval" salute. This is used by the Naval forces of the Commonwealth and the US Armed Forces. This is often in popular parlance seen as an American salute, even in the commonwealth. There has been examples of nitpickers and scolds attacking works (or real life) where British or Australians are depicted as saluting palm downwards as an example of EaglelandOsmosis.
Additionally, there are several oddball types of salutes that are given in various situations, mainly where there is something impractical about rendering a normal salute with your hand. These include:
* Saluting with a rifle. Usually done by holding the weapon vertically in front of you, muzzle up, with the underside of the weapon presented towards the person being saluted.
* Saluting with a sword is generally accomplished by bringing the sword's hilt up to the chin with the point facing up, out at a 45 degree angle towards the person being saluted.
* Saluting with your left hand can be acceptable when there is something understandable preventing you from using your right. Having an object in your hand is usually not considered a good reason; having an injury to your right arm or ''missing the hand or arm entirely'' is.
Salutes are usually rendered by an officer (of equal or lesser rank than the salutee) or enlisted soldier to an officer of equal or higher rank. The officer, while not necessarily obligated to return the salute, almost universally does. Not returning the salute is a serious show of disrespect and condescension, which reflects poorly on the salutee. This also has another interesting effect: initiating a salute towards an officer of lesser rank or an enlisted soldier, while not considered insulting (generally), is considered weird and out of place. In the United States armed forces and the armed forces of those countries which award the Victoria Cross, there is one exception to this rule: if you are a recipient of the Medal Of Honor or the Victoria Cross, you WILL be saluted by any member of the armed forces, regardless of rank. So yes, this means that [[BadAss badassery]] is worthy of saluting.
Saluting is SeriousBusiness for any member of the armed forces, and its misuse or improper execution are considered a serious ''faux pas'' at best and a serious ''insult'' at worst. If you're a soldier and you render an improper salute, expect a small lecture on proper execution and a SEVERE butt-chewing ''if you're lucky''. Worst-case scenario, you can even be taken for disciplinary action and get hit where it really hurts: your paycheck. As mentioned above, the salute is a sign of respect, so any kind of corruption, change or mockery in the salute reflects very poorly on the saluter.
Also, a very important characteristic of the salute is that it is a ''privilege'', not a right. While civilians may salute as a sign of respect for a soldier, this is more about soldiers gracefully accepting gratitude than the civilian actually being acknowledged in fellowship. In fact, military prisoners convicted of a crime ''must not'' salute: since the salute, as mentioned above, is an expression of fellowship, saluting someone while being imprisoned is akin to saying the salutee is as much of a criminal as the saluter, which can end in a WORLD of shit for the saluter. However, enemy prisoners of war CAN be saluted according to their rank, and it is seen as a sign of respect and fairness for a soldier of the imprisoning army to salute the imprisoned officer.
There are also situations in which saluting is NOT recommended. When in the field or in a forward operation base, soldiers are instructed not to salute, since it identifies the officer/VIP, which can [[BoomHeadshot provide a sniper with an easy target.]] Some military forces also dictate that salutes should only be used while wearing headgear and doing so while bare-headed is at least improper protocol.
The hand salute is also used in various situations and towards people of importance to the military. These include:
* '''The Head of State'''. Often the Commander-In-Chief of the armed forces, the Head Of State is the highest-ranked representative of the country, and is always to be saluted, regardless whether or not he/she is the real boss or a mere figurehead. This also applies to foreign heads of state on state and/or official visits.
* '''Other High Ranking Civilian Officials''': Different countries have different customs, but generally speaking, a Head of Government, a Minister of Defense or a Governor, are often the among the limited number of high ranking officials who gets this kind of rare VIP treatment. Depending on the context, other officials sometimes get a salute, as a mere courtesy.
* '''Officers of foreign powers''': A soldier is a soldier, whether you serve the same country or not.
* '''National symbols''': The flag should be saluted when one passes it by while walking, and one should stand in attention and salute when it is raised or lowered, or when the national anthem is played.
* '''Reporting''': When a soldier is summoned by an officer, the soldier greets the officer with a salute and an acknowledgment of being summoned. "Sir, Private Smith reports as ordered."
* '''Change of command''': When a soldier or officer is in command of an outfit and another soldier or officer (be it equal or greater rank) arrives to relieve him of command, the commanding officer salutes the newcomer to acknowledge the change.
Interesting dynamics can happen in fiction with the salute, including:
* '''Teeth-Clenched Salute''': This is when a soldier salutes an officer he SERIOUSLY has beef with, often with a grimace or DeathGlare. This is an excellent example of TruthInTelevision: one of the first things taught to a soldier regarding saluting is that you salute the RANK of the officer, not the officer himself. Not saluting, even when you have every reason in the world to not enjoy it, is considered an offense against the protocol and chain of command of the army itself, beyond any disrespect that might be intended against the salutee.
* '''Teary-Eyed Salute''': Both used as a symbol of unbridled joy or deepest grief, saluting with tears in your eyes is a powerful symbol. A soldier saluting with tears in his eyes is NEVER put down for it, it is a completely understandable gesture. Obviously, the tears shed are either ManlyTears or TearsOfJoy.
* '''Ironic Salute''': A corrupt superior officer is brought down by a soldier, and the soldier mockingly salutes him. A sort of TakeThat.
* '''Improper/Exaggerated Salute''': The salute is rendered poorly or in an exaggerated manner. This might be a symbol of not knowing how to properly render it (excusable with a civilian, most definitely NOT excusable with a soldier), or it might symbolize the saluter either is very ignorant or very disrespectful and nonchalant. Sometimes, a character does an exaggerated salute to symbolize joy or triumph, but this is a blatant example of not doing their homework. If the character was ''supposed'' to do the salute right but didn't because the writers goofed or winged it, then it's ArtisticLicenseMilitary (and seriously guys, is it so hard to find a soldier and ask him? You probably have National Guard people working for you, ask around!).
* '''Goofy Salute''': The salute is just plain WRONG. It looks completely ridiculous and badly executed. This is obviously most common in humorous media.
* '''StrangeSalute''': A non-traditional salute that distinguishes an organization or culture as different from the norm.
While in real life organizations other than the armed forces have salutes, in fiction it is almost exclusively associated with the armed forces.
Examples of the salute happening in fiction would probably feature pretty much every series on the entire site, so please limit examples to when the salute is a dramatically powerful or distinctive moment.
[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
* In the ''Manga/{{Akira}}'' manga, after [[spoiler:Akira reawakens and destroys Tokyo a second time]], Colonel Shikishima is one of the survivors and wanders around aimlessly. One of his former soldiers recognizes him and salutes him with tears in his eyes.
* [[InterpolSpecialAgent Inspector Zenigata]] salutes Count Cagliostro when he reports in ''Anime/TheCastleOfCagliostro''. Cagliostro doesn't even acknowledge it, being the asshole he is.
* Marines in ''OnePiece'' frequently salute their superior palm-inward. When asked about it in his SBS Q&A section, Eiichiro Oda explained that this was at one time actual naval practice to prevent showing tar-stained hands to their superiors.
* In ''GundamSEED'', in order to steal ZAFT's new prototype Freedom Gundam, Lacus Clyne dressed Kira up in the ZAFT pilot uniform and taught him their salute so that he could get past security.
* This is common procedure in the Time-Space Administration Bureau in the ''LyricalNanoha'' series. It's done for effect in one scene in Episode 13 of StrikerS, when Nanoha and Fate tell Hayate that they're helping her with her division because that's what friends do, then salute her and tell her that they trust her as their superior officer.
* ''StrikeWitches'' actually pay close attention to details on salutes. Major Miles, who is British, actually salutes in British style of palm facing forward. On the other hand, Fuso (Japan) Navy personnel salute with their elbow tucked in and palm facing slightly inwards. Also, hat/no-hat rules apply depending on rules of their serving forces.
* Oddly enough [[Manga/YuGiOh Seto Kaiba]] of all people gives one when he and Mokuba are flying off to America near the end of the Battle City arc.
* In ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer'', Yukari frequently does this as a greeting. Of course, her ways of interacting with people are strange, to put it mildly, especially considering that she uses the extremely formal and old-fashioned honorific "-dono" on her friends.
[[folder:Fan Fiction]]
* An interesting variation shows up in [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/81159/racer-and-the-geek Racer And The Geek]]. Interesting because noone involved is in the military.
* The NewMeat doing this in the field in [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/90939/shell-shock Shell Shock]] results in a brutal ass chewing by SergeantRock for two reasons. Number one: he's not an officer! Number two: They're in the middle of a guerrilla war."
* ''FanFic/LifeAfterHayate'' tends to note when characters do, or more importantly do not, follow proper protocol for the Time Space Administrative Bureau. Officers of equal rank are not required to salute; flag-rank officers do not salute other officers of flag rank; cover is not a requirement to salute. It is also noted that most of the Navy's admirals no longer expect a salute from the head of Naval Counterintelligence and will wave him down from it if he tries, though he is only a captain: this is a tact acknowledgement he should also be an admiral but his promotion has become politically charged.
* It comes up a few times in ''Fanfic/NecessaryToWin''.
** In Miho's [[OriginsEpisode Interlude]], Saori asks if tankers at Miho's old school, Black Forest, are required to salute their superiors, but Miho says that it isn't entirely necessary and that she believes most of them aren't doing it correctly. Yukari once gives Ami Chouno, their instructor, a salute, prompting Ami to point out that it's not entirely correct, but not a bad effort for a civilian.
** Following Oarai's match with Saunders, Ami gives one to Harue as a show of respect after hearing of Harue dedicating herself to inspiring others, and Harue responds to that gesture in kind.
* ''Fanfic/TheWrongReflection'':
** [[Franchise/StarTrek Starfleet]] doesn't salute, but in chapter two Captain Kanril Eleya, who is a former Bajoran Militia [[SergeantRock NCO]], uses the Militia's palm-out salute when she greets [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Kira Nerys]]. Kira is long since retired from the Militia at this point but Eleya mentions that it's become traditional for any Militiaman to salute anyone who fought in the [[LaResistance Bajoran Resistance]].
** Later in the chapter General Brokosh, a Lethean mercenary serving in the Klingon Defense Force, tosses off a sloppy salute to Starfleet Admiral Amnell Kree after she tells him more specifically what she wants done with his trademark [[KineticWeaponsAreJustBetter "strike package"]]. Cue DeathGlare from Kree.
[[folder:Films -- Animated]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens'', General Monger salutes the monsters just before [[spoiler:sending them off to save Susan]], to show that he is no longer their warden and now sees them as equals. B.O.B., being TheDitz, misinterprets it.
-->'''B.O.B.:''' Well, that's rude! What did we do?\\
'''Dr. Cockroach:''' No, B.O.B. That's a sign of great respect.
[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* Part of the protocol for saluting in the Royal Navy is explained by Jack Hawkins' character in ''Film/TheCruelSea'': "Don't salute indoors: I'm not wearing a hat and can't return it. Correct protocol is to take your hat off when you come inside."
* ''Film/TheRock'' features this several times, but it becomes symbolic. First, it is tragic (saluting a burial detail), then it is a sign of respect and purpose, then it is [[spoiler: noticeably less and less present, until it is gone completely, signifying the breakdown of order and revealing the true nature of most of the terrorists.]]
* In the film version of ''Film/WeWereSoldiers'', and officer chews out a soldier for disobeying his order to stand in formation with his military honors visible. The soldier goes to get his honors and comes back ''[[FullFrontalAssault buck naked]]'' and with TWO Medals Of Honor around his neck. The officer salutes the soldier, ashamed of both chewing out a soldier who had earned the highest military honor the nation bestows ''twice'' and the fact that he HAD to salute even when being completely insulted by the naked soldier.
* The ''Film/MasterAndCommander'' film has a plot point where a character failing to salute is flogged.
* In ''Film/TheLastCastle'', the protagonists have been dishonorably discharged from the armed forces and are serving jail time in a military prison. As such they are explicitly ''forbidden'' from saluting each other, regardless of their former ranks. To get around this, they run their fingers through their hair and claim they are just brushing their hair. Combined with common slang that they use for specific ranks, allowing them to address each other by their previous titles, they retain a sence of personal dignity and a semblance of order.
* ''Film/ScentOfAWoman'' features a mix of "grudging salute" and "civilian doesn't know how to salute". Charlie is being annoyed at Colonel Slade (Al Pacino) and answers to his demands with a poor-man's, somewhat disgusted, attempt of the military gesture while the Colonel is looking the other way. Of course since the Colonel is a blind veteran, he catches Charlie on the act instantly and explains him the basics of a salute.
* ''Film/SavingPrivateRyan'' "Did I live a good life?"
* In ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', Luke Skywalker [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:Thoseabouttojediwesaluteyou.JPG tosses off an ironic salute]] while on Jabba's sail barge. Note the file name: "[[Film/{{Spartacus}} Those about to jedi we salute you]]."
* In ''Film/AmericanNinja'', Michael Dudikoff's character, the American ninja Joe Armstrong, in one scene gets a butt-chewing from his boss, an Army colonel. After being dismissed, he salutes in a limp-wristed way, with his hand curved instead of straight, almost dismissively. Any officer worth his salt would send him to the brig for disrespecting an officer.
* Military salute was one of the many things that Dr. Logan taught to semi-revived zombie Bub in ''DayOfTheDead''. It later comes back as ChekhovsSkill as [[spoiler:Bub uses it to mock Cpt. Rhodes as he is ripped apart by zombies]].
* Played with in ''Film/AFewGoodMen'': Upon meeting Lt. Kaffee, his assigned JAG officer, Lance Corporal Dawson is not impressed and instead of saluting defiantly places his hands in his pockets. By the end of the movie, Kaffee has earned Dawson's respect, and he salutes him without prompting.
-->'''Dawson:''' Ten-hut! There's an officer on the deck.
* In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' book ''Discworld/MenAtArms'', Detritus initially had trouble with saluting and would frequently knock himself out by hitting himself in the head.
* Creator/GeorgeMacDonaldFraser's expy in the ''Literature/McAuslan'' stories, Lieutenant Dand [=MacNeill=] of the Gordon Highlanders circa 1947, suffers a wardrobe malfunction whilst changing the guard in front of a mass of [=VIPs=]. His solution:
--> ''"I was alone, with the worst to come. I had to turn again, march to the edge of the crowd in front of the General Officer -- with royalty beside him -- salute, and march off again. But I couldn't salute! My saluting hand was holding up my nether garments, and if I removed it I should go down in history as the [[NeverLiveItDown Man Whose Kilt Fell Off In Front Of Royalty At Edinburgh Castle]].\\
It wouldn't do. Similarly, I could not march off without acknowledging royalty and saluting. What do you do in this case? I shall tell you. You turn smartly about, arm akimbo -- it gives a Rupert of Hentzau touch, anyway -- march up to the saluting base, salute left-handed, turn about, and march off through the Castle gateway, dead casual, like Caesar at Pharsalia."''
* In ''The Short-Timers'' (a {{Vietnam War}} era novel by Gustav Hasford) the protagonist, {{Genre Savvy}} [[DeadpanSnarker private Joker]], sometimes salutes in a combat zone with some [[RevengeByProxy ulterior motives]].
-->''"Corporal, don't you know how to execute a hand salute?" "Yes, sir." I salute. I hold the salute until the [[ArmchairMilitary poge]] colonel snaps his hand to his starched barracks cover and I hold the salute for an extra couple of second before cutting it away sharply. Now he poge colonel has been identified as an officer to any enemy snipers in the area."'' [...]
-->''"As is my custom, I salute [[SociopathicSoldier Animal Mother]] so that any snipers in the area will assume that he is an officer and shoot him instead of me."''
* In AdolfHitlerMyPartInHisDownfall, SpikeMilligan writes that the battery commander (a Major) tells a soldier that he is saluting the uniform not the man. So, each morning, the soldier brings the Major his breakfast, and then turns and salutes the Major's uniform hanging on a hook.
** Also from the same book:
--> ''We had Saluting Traps. A crowd of us round a corner smoking would get the tip Officer Coming. We would set off at ten-second intervals and [[BotheringByTheBook watch as the officer saluted his way to paralysis of the arm]].''
[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* In ''Series/{{Mash}}'', Hawkeye, Trapper John, and BJ tend to mockingly salute Frank Burns. Played For Laughs most of the time.
** One of the only non-mocking salutes Hawkeye ever gave was to Radar when he was shipping out - Hawk was busy in the OR but gave Radar a salute in lieu of the going away party that the casualties canceled.
** In the finale, [[spoiler:BJ and Hawkeye give Col. Potter formal full salute with full attention as their final gesture to him before they depart their separate ways.]]
* Both ''ThePhilSilversShow'' and its movie version, ''Sergeant Bilko'', had the eponymous character using the salute in comedic ways.
* Creator/BennyHill was famous for his [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jAH3Mz8KFxo/SCBt7-1W5XI/AAAAAAAAAYc/13AD-iqvamY/s320/Benny.gif silly mocking British salute]].
** In one ''Series/TheBennyHillShow'' sketch, he was a WWI army guy who got captured by the Germans. He starts to do the regular (for him) British salute, then realizes who he's dealing with and gives a German salute -- which seems to have been hand on top of the head. The German officer salutes back and stabs himself on his spiked helmet.
* ''TheDickVanDykeShow'': During a FlashBack, when Rob was in the army, he was summoned to his commanding officer's office and saluted. The officer scratched his head and Rob thought it was the officer responding to his salute so he dropped his, which ticked off the CO, who hadn't saluted back. Then at the end of the meeting Rob saluted and the CO just said "dismissed" without looking up, so Rob had to leave still saluting. We then saw him out the office window, still saluting.
* [[Series/RedDwarf A.J. Rimmer]] and his ridiculously [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=al5bErqFrDQ overextended salutes]]. The fact he's apparently completely serious just makes the whole thing funnier.
* The protagonists of ''Series/ThunderInParadise'' are shown in a flashback sharing a goofy salute with their commanding officer.
* Used often in ''Series/DoctorWho'' between the Doctor and Jack, although at the time neither were part of military organisations. (The Doctor is/was a UNIT employee but hates their constant saluting, and Jack has served in both World War 1 and 2. [[TimeTravel More than once.]]) Usually, it shows the respect between the two characters. The final salute given between them shows Jack's thanks, and Ten's final goodbye.
** In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E2DayOfTheMoon The Day of the Moon]], Rory poses as an American military officer and salutes NASA security. He gives the British salute by mistake, which goes neatly with his inability to fake an American accent.
** TheBrigadier and his UNIT troops were portrayed quite realistically on a military level: Sergeant (later RSM) Benton would always salute the Brigadier when reporting something to him. The Brigadier also renders a hand salute to the Doctors when it seems they're about to sacrifice themselves to stop Omega.
* ''Series/{{JAG}}'': In "War Stories", Admiral Chegwidden bawls out a sailor who failed to salute him while passing. The "sailor" snaps at him sarcastically, because it turns out he was an actor in a movie being shot next to JAG HQ.
* ''Series/BandOfBrothers'': When one of the characters declines to salute a superior officer with whom he has personal issues, he is gently reminded "We salute the rank, not the man."
** To elaborate, the salutee was Major Dick Winters, and the saluter was Captain Herbert Sobel, Winters' former CO. Also a case of TruthInTelevision, as Winters actually had this exchange with Sobel in real life.
[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
* JohnCena often salutes on his way to the ring, supposedly as a show of support to the troops. Somebody should tell him that most of the time, [[ArtisticLicenseMilitary he's not doing it properly.]]
[[folder:Video Games]]
* In ''VideoGame/EmpireTotalWar'', western commanding officers would give you a Roman salute when you select them on the campaign map.
* ''Franchise/MassEffect'' features this at several points; given that TheAlliance shares several similarities with the USMC and US Navy, the salute is American style. However, multiple times, they are shown saluting with their left hand, which is improper for pretty much every single military on Earth, which means it should be improper for a military force derived from those Earth militaries.
* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'': The Soldier, [[spoiler:who was never in any branch of the military and thus has no basic training to fail]], "salutes" by making an L with his left hand.
** This is also an insulting gesture in several countries, implying that the salutee is a '''L'''oser.
* ''MetalGearSolid3'' and ''[[MetalGearSolid4 4]]'' has the [[ManlyTears Teary-Eyed Salute version]] in front of [[spoiler:The Boss's grave.]]
* When you liberate a POW in the ''MetalSlug'' games, he'll give you a military salute before running off the screen.
* In the ending of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil0'', Rebecca and Billy, having [[FireForgedFriends come to respect and trust one another]], exchange a salute after Rebecca helps fake Billy's death.
* Ending of ''BattallionWars2'' shows us different salutes of the armies in the game. Solar Empire is left hand raised to chest, palm open and pointing up, followed by a short bow. Western Frontier and Anglo Isles share same salute, similar to real life Britain. Difference is how it is carrier out. Western Frontier soldiers bring their hand to forehead, before straightening their hand to roman salute. Anglo Isles is the same, but in reverse (Hand straight to roman salute, then to head). Finally, Tundran Territories has right hand in fist, arm straight forward before bringing it to chest, hold vertically. It should be noted that apart from Solar Empire, all CO do this salute with their right hand, while soldiers(who carry their weapons in right hand) do them with left hand.
* In ''VideoGame/TheMovies'', actors playing the parts of soldiers will give a British Naval/US Salute, even when being put in British Army uniforms. Justified because it's a game about [[StylisticSuck Hollywood film-making]].
* ''Webcomic/TerminalLance'' [[http://terminallance.com/2010/12/13/terminal-lance-88-shiny-things/ #88: "Shiny Things"]] has a Marine grunt accidentally salute a Navy petty officer, then start complaining about how confusing the Navy rank insignia is. In TheRant the author, a retired USMC lance corporal, explains that any Marine who's never done this is either lying or [[NewMeat a boot]].
--> '''Max Uriarte:''' Hell, Ive accidentally saluted other enlisted Marines with worn out rank. Even further, Marines have accidentally saluted ''me''! It happens.
[[folder:Real Life]]
* A [[SubvertedTrope subversion]]: The Nazi salute (arm stretched forward, palm facing down) is so distinctive and reviled, any use of it in fiction, instead of focusing on the protocol of the saluter, will instead be used to signal the character's morally dubious [[CharacterAlignment alignment]].
** This gesture was commonly ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_salute though mistakenly]]) believed to be an ancient Roman salute, which was why the Italian Fascists adopted it (and the Nazis took it from them). Expect to see it in films set in AncientGrome, especially if they were made before World War II. In fact, that gesture was originally the one used by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellamy_salute American civilians giving the Pledge of Allegiance]], until the Nazis put it dead out of fashion, at which place it was replaced by the modern right-hand-over-heart gesture.
** The Nazi salute (also called ''Deutscher Gruß'' "German salute", because it was reminiscent of an actual gesture of greeting used in Germany in the middle ages) was however not a military salute but originally a party salute and later one expected of civilians and Nazi party members on certain occasions. (For instance, everybody had to give a Nazi salute at the memorial to the Nazis killed in the beerhall putsch of 1923 at the ''Feldherrnhalle'' in Munich, which led a lot of people to take a detour to avoid passing that way). It only became mandatory to the German armed forces after the failed attempt on Hitler's life in July 1944.
* When a great national leader dies, expect many teary-eyed salutes to follow. Many pictures of [[UsefulNotes/FranklinDRoosevelt FDR's]] funeral show US soldiers saluting while weeping.
* At President Kennedy's funeral, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pz5waH25x4U little John John]] does this, and America burst into tears.
* DickClark regularly did this as part of his SigningOffCatchPhrase, "For now, Dick Clark... so long." He gave the salute just before saying the "so long" bit.
* Another alternative to the military salute is the raised fist, which for instance was used by Republican units in the Spanish Civil War.
* Not just military, but also in funerals for public safety, such as police, fire, and EMS. During the funeral of an active firefighter, the color guard calls all in uniform to attention, then calls to "Present Arms," and all in uniform salute. The salute is held as the dispatcher makes the firefighter's "last call" over the radio [[labelnote:*]]''"Firefighter John Doe has answered his final alarm. He is gone but not forgotten, and will watch over us always. Rest in peace, brother. We'll take it from here. Dispatch clear, 11:47."'' [[/labelnote]], and Taps is played. Finally the color guard calls to "Release Arms" and the salute is lowered.

Click to remove items from the puzzles so Pancho can escape the crazy canyon. Try to keep his balloons intact-it's a long way down!
Mouse controls everything.
R-restart, Space-pause.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
It hooked me. Couldn't stop till I finished playing, the mark of a successful game imo.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Average quality.
A good time waster, but it's too easy. You can just mindlessly remove blocks on all but the hardest levels and you'll win. Certain sound effects also would not mute, which really cheesed me off.
On a racial standpoint, it's just as racist as any other foreign-nation-stereotyping game. Still, the big flaws were the absolute simplicity of it and the annoying noise glitch. 7/10 for a game that would otherwise net a fair 8/10.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Well done
Nice. I kinda wish there was more of a lead up to the game, a reason to help Pancho escape the canyon... I also wish that on a couple levels the hanging bandits didn't have a slim chance of sliding the wrong way with their swords and hitting Pancho's balloons even if the level is cleared correctly.
Besides those... fun, interesting. Not too challenging, but still good.
Well done.

The Jazz climbed back into the game in the second quarter behind one of their young players, Derrick Favors, and one of their oldest veterans, Earl Watson. Watson pushed the pace and Favors was a beast inside, hitting 4 of 4 shots in the quarter and corralling three rebounds.
Utah also dominated the paint in the second, holding an 18-8 edge on points.
DeMarre Carroll's fast-break layup tied it at 39 with 5:59 left in the half and Utah took a 51-47 lead into the break, with Millsap finally scoring a field goal after starting 0 for 4.
"We fought last night in the second quarter," guard Roger Mason, who started in place of Gordon, said of a comeback attempt against the Lakers. "Tonight we gave up 32 points. We can't afford to do things like that."
Jefferson had his hands full with Robin Lopez, who finished with 15 points, nine rebounds and four blocks.
"Lopez is a big dude," Jefferson said. "I'm glad his brother is not in the Western Conference because I couldn't deal with both of them. ... He's just a physical big guy. It will always be a battle with me and him because he (will) do the little things. He's going to beat you on the boards. He's going to defend well."
Millsap, who turned up his aggression in the third quarter, scored 11 points on 4-of-4 shooting as the Jazz took a 78-75 lead into the fourth.
He scored on a drive where he hung in the air and was fouled by Davis, then got Davis to pick up foul No. 4 with 8:45 left in the third.
Millsap would get Anderson to pick up his fourth four minutes later.
When the fourth started, Utah quickly bumped its lead to eight, with Alec Burks hitting a 3-pointer on a nice feed from Millsap. The Jazz increased the lead to 90-80 on a pair of free throws by Burks with 7:16 remaining.
Davis then made it a game.
But the Jazz held on, avoiding another embarrassment.
NOTES: Williams said the team continues to follow the medical protocol it set for Gordon, holding him out in the second game of back-to-backs. Gordon has come back from a knee injury that caused him to miss the first third of this season, and all but nine games last year. ... Both teams have five players score in double figures, with Lopez adding 15 and Davis 14 for the Hornets. . Favors added 15 points, Foye 14 and Marvin Williams 11 for Utah. . The Jazz are still without starting point guard Mo Williams (thumb surgery) and third-leading scorer Gordon Hayward (sprained shoulder.). . The Hornets shot 68.8 percent in the first quarter but made just 5 of 18 shots (27.8 percent) in the second. Vasquez was particularly cold, hitting just 1 of 7 shots in the second and turning it over twice. His complaining earned him a technical with 3:24 left in the half.

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Oh those pesky Auditors! Always meddling in other's business. This time they have interfered with Death. He is given a life span, and a short one at that, so what does Death do when he knows his time is running out? This is a great story, full of wizards, undead, Life and Death. We also meet the Death of Rats. On top of all the laughter are the underlying themes of life and death and why it all matters so much. I won't say Pratchett has the answer, but he sure makes the questions fun to ponder. A hilarious look at what happens when Death decides to take some time off from his job: literally all hell breaks loose. This could only be told this hysterical by Terry Pratchett, one of the all-time masters of satire. Parts of this book had me rolling, but I have to say the last 1/4 of the book got a bit muddled, but it was still a very enjoyable book. The scene of Death being asked if he had any experience with a scythe before he goes out to reap corn on a lady's farm is just a freaking riot. 4.5 'Inside Every Living Person is a Dead Person Waiting to Get Out...' Death is one of my favourite Discworld characters and Reaper Man is the second book in the Death novels. I prefer reading in general Discworld reading order though. Still, whether you read these books like I do, or you choose to read them as separate novels about Rincewind, or Death, or witches and so on, you will have lots of fun. Death gets fired. Or something like that anyway. Instead of mopping around feeling sorry for himself (according to the ones who got him fired he shouldn't have taken the he part), he starts living, making friends, being a hero, learning things he only observed before and understanding them, and so on. Meanwhile in Ankh-Morpork, life force is growing, weird little globes are popping up all over the place and things act. Windle Poons, a hundred and thirty old wizard, dies but nobody comes to collect him. Death is not employed anymore. His colleagues try everything they can think of (including burying him in the crossroads), but nothing helps. Windle Poons is still there. He finds his way to a group of life-challenged individuals and there the adventure of his unlife starts. The troubles in Ankh-Morpork and Death's new experiences are the two threads we follow in Reaper Man, both funny and entertaining. Pratchett's greatest strength lies in those one liners he smartly sneaks in in every single story. I would have liked more Death though. As only Terry Pratchett can, we are invited into a world where Death has been canned, Life is building up all around and the undead are needed to save the living if only the living would give them a chance. We're introduced to Mrs. Cake who is a marvelous character that makes dialogue as difficult to read as it is to have a conversation with her. We're given a chance to follow the afterlife of the Wizard Wendell Poons, who's afterlife is far more interesting and rewarding than his life was. And we get to see what happens when a shopping mall tries to pillage an ancient city like Ankh-Moorpork. I definitely enjoyed this one. A nice, quick read... In Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett the Death of Discworld finds himself out of a job when the powers that be fire him for developing a personality. Death is now mortal and must live out the rest of his numbered days among humans until the new Death arrives to take him away. With the Disc temporarily without a Death things can't die properly and a huge amount of excess life force accumulates causing some very strange things to happen. This is a very hilarious book. I enjoyed it immensely and highly recommend it. no reviews | add a review

Of course, the last thing anyone needs is a squeamish Grim Reaper and soon his Discworld bosses have sent him off with best wishes and a well-earned gold watch. Now DEATH is having the time of his life, finding greener pastures where he can put his scythe to a whole new use. But like every cutback in an important public service, DEATH's demise soon leads to chaos and unrest -- literally, for those whose time was supposed to be up, like Windle Poons. The oldest geezer in the entire faculty of Unseen University -- home of magic, wizardry, and big dinners -- Windle was looking forward to a wonderful afterlife, not this boring been-there-done-that routine. To get the fresh start he deserves, Windle and the rest of Ankh-Morpork's undead and underemployed set off to find DEATH and save the world for the living (and everybody else, of course).

Student starts global class action against Facebook
VIENNA (Reuters) - Austrian law student Max Schrems appealed to a billion Facebook users around the world on Friday to join a class-action lawsuit against Facebook's alleged violations of its users' privacy, stepping up a years-long data-protection campaign.
Schrems, a thorn in Facebook's side who has a case involving the social network pending at the European Court of Justice, has filed a claim at Vienna's commercial court and invited others to join the action at www.fbclaim.com using their Facebook login.
Under Austrian law, a group of people may transfer their financial claims to a single person - in this case, Schrems. Legal proceedings are then effectively run as a class action.
Schrems is claiming damages of 500 euros ($670) per user for alleged data violations, including aiding the U.S. National Security Agency in running its Prism programme, which mined the personal data of users of Facebook and other web services.
The 26-year-old is also seeking injunctions under EU data-protection law at the court in data-privacy-friendly Austria. "Our aim is to make Facebook finally operate lawfully in the area of data protection," he said.
Facebook has come under fire before for allegedly violating data-protection laws.
Most recently, Britain's data watchdog began investigating whether a 2012 experiment on unwitting users, in which it tried to alter their emotional state to see if their postings turned more positive or negative.
The world's biggest social network, Facebook now has 1.32 billion users. It posted a 61 percent increase in sales in the second quarter thanks to mobile advertising, sending its shares to a record high and valuing the company at almost $200 billion.
Facebook declined to comment on the Schrems case on Friday.
Users from anywhere outside the United States and Canada may sign up to join the Austrian case, since Facebook runs all its international operations from Ireland, another EU country. The case relies largely on the EU Data Protection Directive.Europe in general has stricter data-protection rules than the United States and considers itself more privacy-conscious.
But its history of enforcing data protection is mixed, bar a few high-profile cases such as the ECJ's ruling in May that compels internet companies to remove irrelevant or excessive personal information from search results.
"We have this habit of pointing the finger at the United States, but we're not enforcing our rights anyway," Schrems told Reuters. "If we can get a class action through like this, it will send out a huge signal to the industry overall."
Schrems has had limited success pursuing cases in Ireland, home to the European or international headquarters of some of the largest U.S. technology companies, including Microsoft and Google, who employ thousands there.
His europe-v-facebook group appealed to the Irish High Court to rule on allegations that U.S. companies helped the NSA harvest private data from EU citizens after the Irish data watchdog said there were no grounds for an investigation.
The High Court referred the case to the ECJ.
Schrems's Austrian court case relies on EU law for the alleged data violations, which also include tracking of users on external websites through Facebook's "like" button and unauthorised sharing of user data with external applications.
The claims for damages will have to be assessed under more financially generous California law, Schrems said, since Facebook says California law governs its terms of service.
A specialist financier will bear the legal costs if Schrems loses the case and will take 20 percent of the damages if he wins, meaning users can join the case at no financial risk.
Schrems himself is not charging a fee but stands to win 500 euros, like the other claimants.

Adventures in Muscle - Part 1Adventures in Muscle (Part 1)By Katrina"Weightlifting? That's the only gym option left??" Milly exclaimed!"That's right Miss… Maybe you should've signed up for your senior year of classes earlier," the guidance counselor replied. "You need two gym credits and both semesters that's the only option left.""Fine! I'll survive the jocks and the amazons somehow…!" she said stomping off.At the start of the semester she made her way to the gym with trepidation. She was a pretty senior but not necessarily fit and had avoided anything active most of her life, which is why she now had to finish off these last two gym credits in order to graduate."Alright everyone, gather around," the weights instructor called out. "This first week we're going to focus on the various lifts you'll be working on this semester and proper form. We're also going to be assessing your strength and putting together a goals chart that will track your progress and be a record of y
Adventures in Muscle - Part 2Part 2 - Tapping into her potentialMilly was super nervous as she filled out her goals sheet for the weightlifting class the Sunday night before it was due. She had done some research and found all the weightlifting records for men and women and not really knowing what she was doing, she split the difference between the men's and women's records. "Hah! There's no way I'll be able to do that…" she thought terrified, yet still a part of her brain that was now suddenly awakened insisted on guiding her hand into the shapes of those impossible numbers.It was the same thing the day of class. Most of her mind was screaming "Don't turn in that ridiculous form!!" while a very quickly growing part of her put one foot in front of the other and turned it in. It was done! She was committed and had set a goal! She nearly bolted from class at what she had done and trembling went to the first exercise for the day's body parts. The instructor had
Jessica and Trent Part 1 (female muscle growth)Jessica and Trentby MagnusMagnetoCommissioned by ZentoulAccording to multiple experts, Trent Smith should have been arrested for vehicular homicide on Tuesday, December 15th, 2015. Others would argue that he would have had his license suspended for causing severe injury to Jessica Chen. Instead, he got her phone number and a hot date for that Friday.Well, let's back up a bit. It was a snowy December afternoon in Central city. Trent Smith, a 25 year old computer programming prodigy was driving his 2016 BossMan XG1 model sports car a bit too fast down an ice slicked back road. As fate would have it, at the exact same moment, Jessica Chen, a 24 year old up and coming businesswoman was driving her 2013 EveryDude LS2 convertible down a road perpendicular to Trent's. Just like Trent, Jessica was also driving a bit too fast for the icy conditions. Both young adults slammed their breaks a tad too late, running directly through the stop signs facing them. Before Trent could do anything, his
Adventures In Muscle - Part 3Part 3 - Bulking Up"Ooooh… He seems to like that I'm all strong and muscley and stuff." Milly thought to herself, "How cool! I never thought my muscles would be sexy to guys… I think I'll work hard for a few more weeks and surprise him with my uber buffness!" The part of her that was freaked out by being all muscular and gross was oddly subdued during this train of thought. Maybe now that it saw that there were benefits beyond just being strong, it was staying quiet to see how it would all play out. It also helped that now she had another goal to meet. Meanwhile the part of her wanting to grow as big as possible was furiously planning how to grow as much muscle as possible over the next few weeks. She went to the weights coach after class, risking a totally worth it tardy to her next class, to ask if she would be able to lift in the gym after school too. He looked at her progress chart and saw that she was mak
Mythbusters - Kari's Growth SerumMythBusters: Growth SerumBy Katrina ZwickerBrwaaap! Brwaaap! Brwaaap! Brwaaap! Brwaaap! Her alarm went off. With a mutter Kari rolled over and smacked it into silence. The first bleary thought that went through her mind was "Time to kick some ass!"Staggering out of bed she stopped halfway to the bathroom, suddenly remembering what today was! They were starting filming for the growth serum episode! A shudder of pleasure and anticipation wrecked her body and she was instantly awake and ready for the day. She'd been looking forward to this for weeks now.The Feminox Vitamins had been out for a while now and the results some women were enjoying were nothing short of amazing! Problem was that only a fraction of the world's women were affected by the vitamins in the way they were supposed to be affected.

All of the recipes I see for Bearnaise call for a double boiler and seem too complicated. This is a very simple method that I have used dozens of times to turn out a Bearnaise sauce that is truly to die for. And, you can make it several hours ahead of time and simply reheat gently when it's time to eat. Wonderful on a nice medium rare fillet mignon!
You can double this recipe with no trouble.
- 1combine first 6 ingredients in heavy bottomed saucepan and cook over medium heat until reduced to 1/3 cup (about 10 minutes)
- 2Strain, discarding vegetables and spices (press with a wooden spoon through a fine sieve to extract all the liquid) and return to saucepan
- 3beat egg yolks in a small bowl with a whisk until slightly thick and lemon colored.
- 4add 1/4 of the liquid to the yolks, whisking as you do. This will 'temper' the eggs
- 5gradually whisk the egg mixture into the sauce pan with the remaining liquid and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk until sauce is very thick. Remove from heat.
- 6whisk in melted butter 1 tablespoon at a time.
- 7Add lemon juice and salt to taste. Finish with a dash of cayenne
- 8To reheat, place saucepan over low heat and whisk constantly until sauce is warm.
