Do you link photos you find without permission?
Photos, pics, whatever...
A lot of websites don't like this. People link up their photos and eat up their bandwidth. Then they make a big deal sometimes about people "stealing" their photos and linking them without permission onto other websites (like this one :) ).
I think it's stupid. And by "it" I mean complaining about it. As someone who's a web designer I figure it's just a fact of the internet. There's nothing unethical about linking something you find in a public place (the internet) somewhere else as long as you don't take credit for it, aren't purposefully killing their bandwidth and it's not something like a Comic book which is out there for the money (stealing)!
A lot of websites try to protect from it and largely fail. I say stop trying. If it's online it's fair game. :)
Yousa talking about everyone linking to pictures on Ex Astris Scientia?
Not specifically but it's a good example.
I personally try not to. If I'm linking a picture, it's either one of my own creation or hosted with permission from the original author, and it's in my Photobucket album.
if you mean do i go onto google and type a name in, then link the first picture i see then yes i do.
if people dont like it they should not leave their pictures all over my internet connection.:rolleyes:
I'm with Revo on this one. I take no credit for what's in the photo and it illustrates or underscores my point. It's like making a collage for a social studies class in high school. Besides they should be happy for the increased awareness of their material or product. At least that is the way I see it.
It's against forum rules to deeplink images without hte user permission.
However, most of said images are extremely hard to find on the page their embedded in....
The only link for photos is the one in my Signature and i tool them from my home in Sydney, and BTW plase leave comments, as i take good quality photos ill post them :P :) :P :) and BTW its blooming hard they move like lightning, so i can waste 50 minutes in a set up, on other days they lounge around and i can get easily a few dozen shots but only worth to them is the memories of the green army.
please enjoy my work :)
"Deep Link" means you're imbedding the image without linking the site (i.e. bypassing the page it's on)

Muchinga province deputy minister Charles Banda yesterday confirmed that he was leaving the province for his new appointment as Zambia's new High Commissioner to Malawi.
Mr. Banda who could not elaborate said president Michael Sata has sent him to Malawi.
The Watchdog yesterday revealed that Mr. Sata has appointed a fellow old relic Daniel Munkombwe as the new Minister for Southern province after he (Munkombwe) made some nice sound-bites of denouncing the UPND on tribal lines that were good to Mr. Sata's ears.
Mr. Sata has reached a sealing on the list of eight nominated MPs and had to sacrifice the youthful Banda to accommodate his old people's home in PF by appointing Munkombwe.
106 Responses to "Charles Banda confirms being sacrificed for old Munkombwe"
Wow! You should have joined Up n Down big man, may be you could have been spared from the insults………. lol…………
Mr Munkombwe needs counseling ounce more.He has lost direction,he is one of those few old people who do not deserve any respect at all he is a mole.To hell with you chi Munkombwe.
its a shame bringing munkombwe back in government.
Am afraid no retirement age in pf coz maddaala's are taking positions of youths and youths will continue languishing in streets walking long distances searching 4 employment but only to find oldies on the parnel of interviewers who will owaz reject u in fear dat u may challange them coz of technology.Youths wake up.2016 Vote wisely coz no old will want to be in the midist of youths but wth fellow oldies.How many youths're search of employment and are tired of searching ?2016 cast wisely to prevent this.
I have read alot of concerns over respect on top but the elders that I used to leave with taught me one thing, they said respect comes as a result of you as an individual making decisions that will progress others and they should pick up some sense in atleast every word you speak, otherwise even the infants shall laugh at you despite having grey hair. remove respect, let everyone put in their expectations from these guys (old), to which extent are they helping us progress?????

Pliz we berg u politicians, WHEN ARE WE GOING TO WORK IN GOOD POSITIONS AS YOUTHS? Please HH I berg you buy this man a farm so that he can be at the farm, please I am on my knees!
Munkombwe can't be ashamed of himself where is his children? Does this man have childrens? Why can't this man give room to his children. This man was in unip government was in mmd was in upnd b4 now in pf. pathetic
So it is a mail.
just shoot this old man out of the scene, he should retire to the farm.
Has he got a farm? He used to have one
He has a farm. but he has failed to manage it.
this is rubishi,this old fool can't even use a computer,atthe rate we are moving as a nation,we should forget about development,we respect elders but we can not respect these fools who have noyhing to offer, jumpingfrom one partyto another, this is the reason why ihave decidedto sentle here in canada because the leadershere make sense and i can see where my taxe goes.
If one can't respect their elders then they have an up bringing problem.in home when a bally trips u can point a finger but u chaps who were brought up like wild dogs have the courage to insult papa daniel?shame on you!!let's respect our elders.
Politics of the belly. Emulate the former Pope, Mandela, and others who have left for others to take over. This retirement age issue should be employed in politics. Eventually you find that someone aged 55 years is still a cadre and called a youth. All top positions are held by those in their eleventh hour.
So popes are also politicians? I thought they are annointed men of God who vow to serve Him till death. What happened is a rare case in the history of catholism and I don't know why you have brought this issue on such a topic.
Munkombwe politics of the belly,the old man is rily a fool,jumping from mmd to pf nxt it wil b upnd.
Remove this fool from this site
If you are an idiot dont insult elders. we respect elders where i come. i dont know wat plot would be wit an infant.
I didn't know you guys abuse elderly Tongas also, or is it part of your culture to abusive towards senior citizens? Where i come from old people are respected.
If you want respect from young ones you must first respect them in turn they will give you respect unlike the foolish behaviour of Daniel Munkombwe.
Not even that, if u want respect you shud first respect yourself. Munkombwe is not respecting himself. He is therefore stupid
We respect respectable elders not those who are fools! We wont call you wise when you are an idiot. We call a spade a spade.
I like Tongas. They don't tolerate nonsense. This is one section of Zambia where if a politician is useless cannot make it. They choose their leaders on merit unlike some of us…as long as niba kumaba we sing pelete along. This time around i will not vote on party lines. I will surely cast my vote on HH. He is more sobre
Nonsense this is not helping the country in anyway, the problem of voting for finished politicians who luck proper thinking capacity.What do you expect from him and his friends.
It was decision of zambians and are reaping for their decisions
Let the old rule guns

Fighting Against Luigi [FAL] 7. Updates [UPDTS] 8. Credits [CRED] Copy the codes to the right and use Ctrl+F to jump straight to the section you need. =========================================================== 1. Introduction [INTRO] Welcome to the fight! The long awaited third game in the Smash Bros. series has finally arrived, to much fanfare. Naturally, players quickly began gravitating towards the characters that suited them best. That, my friends, is the very purpose of this guide. This is for those who aspire to be the best using the one and only man in green, Luigi. Luigi has evolved quite a bit over the course of the series. In the beginning, he was for all intents and purposes identical to Mario. The only things that set him apart were different properties as far as his speed, weight, and strength/effect of attacks. Melee changed things up a bit, giving him several new techniques that were all his own, (and giving birth to the goofy fan term "Luigified") as well as lowering his traction a great deal. Finally, Brawl came along, and Luigi has been diversified enough that He and Mario no longer play anything alike. As a fighter, Luigi is floaty, and his movements are a bit slow, but most of his attacks come out ridiculously fast, and you can abuse this to build up some major damage. He also has multiple recovery options, and a couple of very versatile moves that can be used effectively in many situations. The following is a list of Luigi's major strengths and weaknesses. PROS: Great aerial attacks. Attacks come out fast. With the right moves, can kill at low percentages. Good combo ability, primarily while airborne. CONS: Slow movements. Somewhat lightweight. Can be KOed quickly if you're not careful. Certain techniques leave him terribly vulnerable. Most of his moves aren't well suited for KOs until damage is fairly high. ------ Here is list and description of Luigi's available costumes/color swaps. Green/Blue (Green team) Classic Luigi. White/Green Luigi as seen when using the fireflower power up. Light Blue/Dark Blue (Blue Team) Pink/Red (Red Team) Some people call this Luigi's pimp clothes. That's neither here nor there, I just thought I should say it. Orange/Blue Purple/Black Waluigi's colors. ------ Methods for unlocking Luigi: -Play 22 brawls in group mode. -Beat classic without using continues. -Get Luigi to join you in Subspace Emmisary =========================================================== 2. Movelist [MOVE] Ah, the movelist. Strategy will help you later on, but like any fighting game, the most important weapon in your arsenal as a player is total mastery over your characters techniques and abilities. The following reveals every one of Luigi's moves, including important info such as Damage percentages, knockback range, and a minor description of the moves strengths and weaknesses, in some cases including the more appropriate times to utilize them. Study up. It should be noted that I tested these damage percentages myself. No reference was used. ------ Standard A button attacks _____ A 3% AA 5% AAA 10% So, there's your standard A button combo that every character has. It should be noted that you don't ever have a reason to tap the A button only once or twice. If you're going to use this standard attack, then use the whole combo. This will benefit you anyway, as the whole 3 hit combo is very fast, and surprisingly enough the final hit has low but decent knockback. It's a quick, nifty way to get someone out of your face for second. If you're fast, after you've knocked someone away you can follow them with a Down B special, and deal some damage before they can recover. _____ Dash Attack Individual hits 1% each Final hit 2% If you connect with the entire animation, you'll hit 7 times for a total of 8%. I've heard talk that this move is useless, but not really. Once caught in the flurry, a character can't escape the rush until the move is over, and the final hit has very low knockback (larger at higher percents), but it's enough to get people away for a brief moment. If you're in a Free for all battle, and you have multiple opponents in front of you, the move can catch all three of them at once. However, this is difficult to do, and it's not recommended. But the option is there. Be careful with this dash attack. You can use it, but do so sparingly; it's one of the moves that leaves Luigi horribly vulnerable if it doesn't connect. _____ Forward Tilt 10% Damage builder. Low knockback at higher percentages. Up Tilt 9% Low knockback, but very good for setting up aerial combos. Send your opponents up and hammer with them with Luigi's superior aerial ability. Down Tilt 9% At low percents, this move will typically only cause your enemies to flinch. Occasionally, they may lose their footing and fall to ground, but it's a quick recovery from there and you really won't be able to take advantage of it. Around 90%, this'll start causing some very, very minor knockback. Use it to set up a quick smash attack. _____ Aerial Attacks Aerials are one of Luigi's greatest assets. His general floatiness and quick attacks make it simple to pound out two attacks in a single jump with time to spare. In two jumps, you can hit with four attacks, and quickly build up the damage. Abuse fast falling while doing this (while falling, tap the control stick down to fall much faster) and with some quick reactions, you can combo your enemies to hell and back. Neutral Air 14% This move has been strengthened since the last game. It comes out very quick, and at higher damages (around 100) it can actually be used as a reasonably effective kill move. This is a decent option for approaching an opponent from above, but don't rely on it too much. Out of all of Luigi's aerial attacks, this one is the most laggy, meaning it takes much longer after using this for Luigi to revert to "normal" and be able to use other attacks. It's not hard to do, but try to only use it when you're positive it will connect. Up Air 13% Mid range knockback at higher percentages. It's best used for racking up damage during combos. Down Air 11% Good for approach from above, and mid range knockback. Most often, when this move hits, your enemy will fly to the side of you. However, on occasion this move will count as a meteor smash, and can be used to spike your opponent down into oblivion. UPDATE: I was previously having problems getting the spike to work reliably, as the conditions seemed to have changed since Melee. However, my personal method was flawed. Thankfully, reader TheUnruly1 stepped in and helped me get my ass in gear. Here's what he had to say: "It actually needs to connect *above* his knees and up, or at least above the most useful, downward-reaching part of the move. And during the first couple of frames the attack is out." That's right as rain folks. This is harder to do than it was in Melee, and the window of oppurtunity seems to be shorter. The range he gives is accurate, but can be tough to actually manage. It almost makes it easier to do if you are rising up to meet someone falling towards you, and it may help to start out trying to use it that way so you'll get a sense of it's range. As for the timing, you'll want to start the attack the instant before it would connect. Practice this and get the timing down to an art, and you'll be able to pull off the Meteor Smash just about anytime you need it. Forward Air 10% How disappointing. In melee, this was a very powerful kill move. It has been downgraded severely. The speed of the attack is as great as ever, with mid level knockback, but it will only KO at very high percents, nearing 150 even for lighter characters. You can use this move to get people the hell away from you, but do not try to rely on it for kills. Back Air 12% Mid knockback. Fun to use when edge guarding, and more likely to kill than Forward Air. ______ Other attacks Attacking when hanging from a ledge This is the move you use if you press the A button when hanging from a ledge. If your own damage is lower than 100%, then this attack will do 8% to your opponent. If your own damage is higher than 100%, then this attack will do 10% to your opponent. Down Taunt 2% Luigi was once the only character who could do damage with his taunt. Nowadays, Snake can as well (thanks to theblackbreath for alerting me to this fact). Luigi's, however, is still more fun to use, heh. If you somehow manage to connect with this little kick, you'll do 2% damage and send your opponent straight up in the air. The knockback however, is set, and your opponent will fly the same distance whether their damage is 0% or 999%. An interesting bit though, is that if your enemy is hanging from a ledge, and you manage to kick them with this taunt while they are hanging, they will be instantly spiked straight down to their deaths, damage ignored and unable to recover. This is undeniably fun. Unfortunately, this move has no practical use. If you have the guts to attempt to use it as an attack during a heated fight, and you actually manage to connect with it, consider it a humiliation tactic. ------ Smash Attacks Forward Smash Uncharged 14% Fully charged 19% This move is deadly. Use it for kills. The knockback is fantastic, and it can kill as low as 50-60% when fully charged, give about 10-15 for the heavier characters. For reference, Bowser, the heaviest character, will die from this attack at about 75%. Even the quick uncharged version of this smash will start killing in the 70% range. If you can sweetspot this smash and hit with the very tip of Luigi's fingers, the knockback will be slightly greater. The added distance is moot, however, as by the time an opponent's damage is high enough for it to matter, the move will be capable of killing them anyway. Up Smash Uncharged 12-15% Fully Charged 16-21% Mid range knockback. The uncharged version of this attack won't be useful for kills until much higher percents. The fully charged version will start to kill around 80-90%. Try to use this to hit people who may be on platforms above you. It can work pretty well as a surprise attack this way. Down Smash Uncharged 16-18% Fully Charged 22-23% Mid knockback. A full charge will start to kill in the late 80s. If you're quick, this move is good for clearing space around you to create some breathing room. ------ B Special Moves B - Fireball 6% This is a fairly short range projectile compared to others in the game. It's too slow to abuse it, but throwing fireballs during small breaks in the action can help to build up damage over time. Keep in mind that Luigi's fireball is not affected by gravity, and will fly straight and true until it disappears. Up B - Super Jump Punch/Fire Jump Punch Standard hit - 1% Perfect "Fire" hit - 25% Usable for Recovery As attacks go, this move is very dangerous to use, but the payoff is immense if you succeed. If you hit the opponent, but your aim is off, the move will do a measly 1% damage and leave you horribly vulnerable. However, if you get a perfect hit, it will ping, Luigi's fist, and subsequently, his opponent's whole body will set on fire, and the enemy will be sent flying straight up at high speed. The perfect hit will do 25% damage. 3 Fire jump punches will rack up 75% damage, and will kill anyone, anywhere. The thing is, the speed and distance of the knockback for this move is ridiculous, and if you're good enough to hit somebody with it in the air, you can kill them at very low percentages. Make absolutely sure to use fastfalling (again, tap down on the control stick while falling to fall faster) after performing this move as an attack, especially if you miss. It takes a long time for Luigi to hit the ground again, and you'll be wide open until he recovers. Out of all of Luigi's moves, this technique has the highest payoff, but with the greatest risk. Be careful! As a recovery move, it's best for gaining height if you're trying to return from below the stage. Luigi has become more mobile while falling after this move than he was in the last game, so you can use it a little bit farther away from the edge than you might think is safe. However, it depends on your distance and your height. Experiment so you can feel what the limits are. Forward B - Green Missile Anywhere from 5 to 26%, depending on the charge. Misfire will hit for 25% Usable for recovery This move is chargeable. Hold the B button to start the charge. When it's full, Luigi will start flashing, but he won't be able to move. He'll still in the squatting, pre- launch position until you release the B button to fire. The higher you charge, the greater the resulting speed and distance that be reached when you release. There is a small chance that this move will "misfire". When this happens, Luigi will explode, and fly very far, very fast. The distance and speed will vary depending on how much you charged before you released. When the misfire happens, Luigi will catch fire, and any opponents he hits in the process will be sent flying, potentially to their deaths if the damage is high enough. There's no way to be sure when this will happen, but a misfire won't be able to screw you up nearly as bad as it could in Melee, so don't worry about it overmuch. The Green Missile is Luigi's best method for horizontal recovery. Down B - Luigi Cyclone 5 hits First 4 - 2% each Final - 4% Usable for recovery. This move is incredibly versatile. When this hits, the opponent is sucked into the cyclone to take each hit. The first four build damage, and the final hit low to mid knockback. Use this on the ground and hold left or right, and will Luigi will zip off in that direction while spinning. This is harder to control than it was in Melee (you can no longer move back and forth in a smaller range) but it's still very effective. You can use this method for crowd control, combo setups, and as a very speedy way to close the distance with your opponent. Something special about the cyclone is that if you repeatedly and quickly tap B after activating it, you can use it gain height. This has a couple of different uses, but you need to remember how to use it properly. If you started the move on the ground and you start tapping, you quickly gain a good amount of height. This allows you to safely attack from below. If you started the move in the air and start tapping, the result depends on your inertia. If you were moving up, say out of a jump, the height gain is fantastic, and can be used for attacking and recovery. However, if you were falling at the time, the move will hold you in the air for the duration, but you won't gain any real height. Remember not to use it while falling if there isn't any ground beneath you! You can use the Cyclone for pursuit of an airborne enemy. This will be discussed further in the strategy section. As a recovery move, this is great for getting some height while far from the stage, and works wonders for catching the ledge from below the stage. Again, make sure you're moving up when you start tapping during the spin. If you're falling, you won't gain any height. _____ Throws Grab Attack - Headbutt 3% Up Throw 8% Mid range. Use it to set up combos. Forward Throw 9% Low range. Back Throw 12% Very high range. This move has been beefed up again since Melee. At high percents, it is definitely capable of a KO, especially closer to the edge of a stage. Luigi's grab range isn't real great though, so be careful when attempting to use this. Down Throw 6% Will give you enemy some bounce! This can be used to chaingrab, but it's slow, and Luigi's short grab range makes it difficult. It's not all that useful, but it can be done. ______ Final Smash NEGATIVE ZONE Damage Varies When Luigi's Final Smash is activated, things get trippy, and Luigi performs a strange dance that has a number of effects. Once the dance is complete, you'll be able to move and attack your disadvantaged enemies. The following list, referenced with thanks from smashbros.com, are the possible status effects that can happen to the enemies that are caught in range of the Negative Zone. Lowered attack power. Lighter weight. (Will fly farther when hit) Increased tripping. Low level, but constant, damage increase. Flower on head. Dizziness. (dazed and unable to move) Taunting. Sleeping. Slowed movement. (similar to the watch item) It won't cause all of these every time, but rather a varied mix of them each time. Negative Zone is far more effective than one might think. However, this Final Smash does have an area of effect. Don't hammer the B button the moment you get the smash ball, if your opponents aren't around you, they won't get caught in the circle, and the smash will be wasted. First thing to note is this, if you catch your enemies in the smash, but none of the side effects halt their ability to move, they will still be able to attack you. Thankfully, it doesn't matter, as Luigi is entirely invincible. Hopefully though, the smash will stop them in their tracks, and even if it doesn't, you'll be in a good position. You can now systematically visit each of your downed opponents, and nail them with a perfect Super Jump Punch, or alternatively, a fully charged forward smash. If you're in a free for all and you're quick, you can easily kill all three of your opponents this way. One caveat. This Smash is good for one KO per opponent. If they come back from their death and the Negative Zone happens to still be active, there is no way you'll be able to KO them that way again. =========================================================== 3. Strategies [STRAT] Combo potential - Luigi is a beast in the air. He falls slow enough and has fast enough attacks that it's easy to get out several standard aerial attacks in two jumps. Use this to your advantage to rack up the damage and control where your opponent flies. Learn the versatility of Luigi Cyclone - Use this to close the distance with your opponent quickly, and use it to clear crowds. The last hit has knockback, so use it to quickly surprise your opponent and send them up to set up combos. One useful thing about the Cyclone is pursuit. Quickly tapping the B button after starting the move will let you gain a lot of height. You can, for example, use an Up throw on an enemy, then chase them up with the cyclone and nail them before they can react. If you hit an opponent high enough straight up, quickly jump, and while you're still moving up, start tapping the cyclone. If you're quick and you time it right, you can interrupt their fall with your attack, and if their damage is high enough the final hit can score a KO. If you learn how to do this well, you can get a lot of vertical KOs. Finishing Moves - You're best finishers are as follows. Forward Smash - Charge it up if you can. Perfect (Fire) Super Jump Punch - Devastating. But be careful with it. Aerial Neutral A - This has surprising power. Experiment with it and you'll see what it can do. Back Throw - It has the power, just use it sparingly. Luigi's grabs aren't the greatest, and you'll be vulnerable if you miss. Aerial Down A - It has the potential to spike. Use it often, especially while edge guarding. Don't be afraid to meet your opponent with this. Even if it doesn't spike, the sideways knockback is effective. Recovery - Luigi has three different recovery moves, and can return from very far away if you use them properly. Here's an example. First off, when sent flying, immediately use directional influence (hold the control stick in the opposite direction of your flight) to slow yourself down. Once heading back towards the stage, start charging the green missile. Charge time depends on your distance and height, so use your best judgment, just know that you'll rarely have time to charge it all the way. Once you've reached the length of your missile, use your double jump, and near the height of your jump, start up the Luigi cyclone and tap to gain as much height as possible. This will put you close enough to either get back to safety, or put you in range to successfully recover with the Super Jump Punch. Mix things up, depending on where you've been sent, and eliminate unnecessary moves if you're close enough to not need them. One last note on the Cyclone. If you're returning to the stage from above and your opponent is waiting for you, use the Cyclone rather than an A attack. The priority is better, and you'll have a better chance of coming out on top after the clash. Team Battles - The most effective partners for Luigi are those that make up for his weaknesses (range, projectiles,), and are strong enough to be able to cover him in return when he's vulnerable. Ness and Lucas are both good choices for coverage, strength, and range. Sonic and other speed characters are also effective to help set up kills. Rack up the damage and finish them off before they can blink. Luigi can also effectively cover a primarily projectile user, providing the close range dominance while his partner builds up the damage while afar. Super Jump Punch Combo- Thanks to Booken The Blue and Daniel for writing to me on this subject. I added the comments, but the moves are all them. The gist of this combo is using the A standard attacks to set up the Fire Jump Punch. Booken's version (1 tap of the A button) and Daniel's (2 taps) can be equally effective based on the situation, but can be dangerous for you if you screw it up. In short, get up close, tap A once, or twice for a longer stun, and while the opponent flinches from the attack, quickly use the Super Jump Punch. It works pretty well, and is good for building damage provided you can hit with it, but it is kind of reckless. If you're slightly off on your aim, or the opponent is able to shield the jump itself, you'll be entirely vulnerable to an enemy that is in the perfect position to counterattack. Take note though, that while it can work on any character, it's much easier to use on larger slower characters. The faster your opponent, the more likely they'll be able to dodge this. You can probably spam it on the likes of Bowser, but use it sparingly on the likes of Fox. They'll punish you horribly if you miss. =========================================================== 4. Stadium [STAD] The Stadium has four mini events that can be played solo or with a friend. These are: Home Run Contest Multi Man Brawl Break the Targets Boss Battles I've included strategies for the Home Run Contest, Multi Man Brawl, and Boss Battles. However, I do not intend to include anything for Break the Targets. The reason for this is that while I'm fully capable of beating the times required for challenges, it's not a difficult task. There will eventually be a dedicated FAQ that will do a far better job at Break the Targets, with far better times, than I possibly can. Besides, Luigi really isn't the best character to use to get the fastest times in that mode. However, if you feel like the guide should include some BtT strategy, and you have a good one with a good time, please send it in. Be clear and concise. I'll be happy to add a Break the Targets section to the guide if anyone sends in some info. I will use the most effective strategies I receive, and you will of course be credited if I use yours. Again, if there are no submissions for Break the Targets, I will not be adding such a section to the guide! Now, on to the stadium! ------ a. Multi Man Brawl [amult] 10 man/ 100 man Brawl If you can pick up the controller, you can handle 10 man brawl. There's no doubt about that. 100 man is a bit more difficult. Utilize your smashes; you don't need to charge them. All of them will kill here. Avoid the Super Jump Punch, it's too slow to be worthwhile here, and you will end up eating the damage. Your aerial attacks will be a life saver, so stay up. And don't be afraid to abuse the items. That's why they are there. If you're unable to beat this the typical way, then try going for the cheapo way. Luigi cyclone is very effective in this fight. Now, if you use the Luigi cyclone on the ground, it'll react like always, pulling in for multiple hits, and knocking back on the last hit. That won't do you much good in this fight where you can have as many as 5 guys on your back at once. However, since your enemies are very lightweight they react differently to certain attacks. The properties of the Cyclone are different in the air here, and EACH HIT WILL KILL ANYONE IT TOUCHES. In short, jump up, spam the cyclone in the air, and watch the explosions as your enemies die. If you're quick enough, the cyclone method can clear out the game in less than 3:00 minutes, unlocking one of the challenge windows. _____ 3-minute Brawl This is simple. If you beat the 100 man brawl, you can survive the 3 minute brawl. Use the same strategies. You'll be fine. _____ 15- minute Brawl Believe it or not, the same method used on the 100 man Brawl and 3 minute Brawl will work here. It's just much more difficult, and takes a lot more patience, and spamming of Down B in the air. If you're lucky enough to get a situation where you only have 1 or 2 enemies onscreen, rather than kill them right away, try to avoid them. You can burn up a lot of time this way without having to fight. If you start taking damage though, knock them out and try again later. Above all, stay on the attack. And if you see a bomb, don't be a hero. If you can manage it, detonate from a safe distance, but don't pick it up. It's often too hard to set up a situation where it's actually safe to use a bomb, and that applies double to the smart bomb. You'll be hating life if you get blown to smithereens by a stupid mistake a mere minute from the finish. 15 minute Brawl and Cruel Brawl (shown next) are NOT easy. Patience will serve you best here. _____ Cruel Brawl This is terribly hard to do. Keep moving constantly, and stick to aerial attacks when you can, especially the neutral B. Cyclone will help you clear the crowds in some cases, but it can also bunch them together and set them up for a quick smash attack. You don't have time to charge smashes, so don't bother. Also, never use your Super Jump Punch for anything but recovering from below the stage. You are far too vulnerable here for this move to even begin being useful as an attack. If you get knocked off, you can attempt to trick your opponents into following you down before grabbing the ledge yourself. The Alloys are incapable of recovering outside of jumps. If you hang from a ledge and drop off, the aggresive alloys will often follow you down. Use your own recovery to return back to the ledge, while the alloy falls to their death. That bit is more effective for other characters, but Luigi can utilize it to a degree. Combine these things carefully. It can be tough to get a lot of KOs in this mode with Luigi, but it can be done well enough to at least unlock the challenges. ------ b. Home Run Contest [bhome] Again, I am accepting strategies for Home Run Contest, provided they beat my own score. Send'em in if you got'em folks! Alright, so here's my method. Start off by grabbing the bat right away. Immediately throw the bat at Sandbag, and the moment you throw it, toss off a Fireball. When Sandbag ricochets off the wall, the Fireball will stop him in his tracks so you can quickly hit him again. Grab the bat, throw it again, and Fireball again. Now grab the bat, throw it yet again, then immediately turn left and throw a Fireball. Sandbag will hit it from above when he bounces over there. Grab the bat, and throw it at Sandbag a final time, then quickly turn right to hit him with another fireball and stop him close to the right edge. Now grab the bat, hit him with two or three more fireballs, depending on how much time you have left, and then Smash him with the bat. Try to sweetspot the tip of the bat, it'll help a bit. With this method

New to gingers
cannafreak(z7 NY)October 4, 2004
Does anyone have any experience with costus cuspidatus? I need to know growing habits, diffulculty in taking care of it, any information would be great. Tara
GingersRus(Tallahassee z8B)
It is certainly not hardy outdoors at your location. Most sources indicate it is hardy zone 8, but I have found it to be prone to rotting of the rhizomes. I have grown it in various light conditions and it seems to prefer about 3-5 hours of direct sunlight - at least in my north Florida climate. It is small enough to be grown in a pot and taken indoors in winter.
Here is a link that might be useful: Costus cuspidatus at GingersRus website

Use your golf balls. They'll help
I've never met anyone who could think in radians. Everyone converts to degrees. They are a pain. 57.3 degrees per radian… makes it soooooo simple…
You'll get nothing and like it!
Radians are important in some disciplines, such as electrical and electronic engineering. We think in multiples of pi, degrees don't usually come into it so the conversion factor is not important.
Jason is too smart for his own good sometimes.
To Jason, that's a big… whew!
Au contraire, most electrical engineers, mathematicians, and others who have to deal a lot with trigonometry and Fourier analysis end up preferring radians.
It becomes easy once you realize that the circumference of a circle is 2πr, so a complete turn is 2π, a half-turn is π, and a right angle is π/2. From there, any interesting angle becomes a fraction of π.
With a BS & MS in physics and a career in physics, I not only learned to think in radians and the metric system, once I started programming in machine language using an Assembler, I learned to think and do arithmetic in hexadecimal — base 16. I can do calculations in base 2 (1' & 0's) or any base if I take my time. FULL DISCLOSURE: Now that I've been retired for 14 yrs and do a lot of sailing with a magnetic compass and a GPS, I've reverted to thinking in English units, degrees, knots, and nautical miles. If you don't use it, you lose it. That's what my wife keeps telling me.
Math is not my forte.
Use mills – 1 yard at 1000 yards – works if you are shooting artillery.
Computing loft and imparting loft are two different things. That's the difference between planning and execution.
thinking in radians isnt bad; it's the conversion thats a pain.
MMM … Pie
re: I stand corrected on electrical engineering.
But why use it elsewhere? It gets more than a little messy trying to design anything civil or mechanical with radians. Surveying would be all but impossible. I can't imagine doing a property lines survey translating the decimal degrees (DMS is not now as far as I know) from the instrument to radians and back again. Imagine turning an angle of 0.315363246 radians, vs. degrees. Or designing a tool with radians. The measurement is far too large for convenience. Or requires conversion, such as using a unit of mass like a kilogram vs. a unit of weight like the lb. Extra steps.
Interesting that Grads didn't take off— the military used something similar in the past. The circle being 360 goes back to the Sumerians. For a base-60 number system like theirs, it made perfect sense. One based on tens has it a bit more difficult.
Neither is golf. The most boring "game" in the world.
It does use mathematics, plain geometry and skill. But I have never played it to find out.

The Supreme Court decided its most important religious-freedom case in decades yesterday. And President Barack Obama lost, 9-0.
The case, Hosanna-Tabor Lutheran Church and School v. EEOC, concerns whether religious groups should be free from government interference when choosing their religious leaders. For decades, the lower courts have applied a doctrine called the "ministerial exception," which prohibits the government from using discrimination laws to force religious organizations to hire or fire particular individuals for jobs with important religious functions. All the lower courts agreed that the ministerial exception existed, but there was some variation as to whether employees...READ MORE

I'm having real trouble with Code Igniter. I have tried to enable errors which displays nothing useful and as far as I am aware, I am following the docs correctly. The problem I am having is that the validation_errors() function in the template does not echo validation problems. The validation process is working (it returns to the form if validation fails) however no error message is shown. Also, the set_values() function does not populate the fields with the information just entered and populates with the default value instead.
The tpl file is very basic and have the correct functions etc so that is not included (large), I have however included the method from the controller below.
// Setup Error Specifics
$this->form_validation->set_error_delimiters('

FAILURE: ', '

');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('company_name', 'Company Name', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('telephone_no', 'Telephone Number', 'required|is_natural');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('email_address', 'Email Address', 'required|valid_email');
// Begin Validation
if($this->form_validation->run() === false) {
$data = array();
$data['company_info'] = $this->company_model->get_company($this->input->get('company_id'));
$this->load->view('company/edit', $data);
} else {
$this->session->set_flashdata('success_message', 'You have updated the company record(s)');
redirect('customer/company/listing', 'location');
I appreciate your help, Thanks!
After digging around the core of CodeIgniter, I've narrowed my search for the problem down to some hooks I am using. I have fully commented out the method code for each of the two hooks (both are post_controller_constructor hooks). Even with the code of each hook commented out, the form validation still fails. It appears (unless I'm heading down the wrong path) that post_controller_constructor hooks cause problems with form validation.
Any Ideas??

wet ground
My ground is too wet to plant anything. It literally looks like a swamp outside. How can I go about fixing this problem so I can attempt to do something nice with my lawn?
hmm- that's several big questions.
one is -why is it wet? or 'where does the water come from?'
the answer can range from a leaking septic system to a high water table, to a clay layer that's creating a small 'wetlands' in your back yard...and those are just the answers off the top of my head.
do you have a basement? if so, is it damp as well?
is this a new problem? are you new to the house? area?
honestly, if it's not something human caused (leaking water pipes, septic issues, runoff from your neighbor's sprinklers) the 'best' solution very often is to create a bog/wetland or even a pond at the furthest corner of the wet area, and channel the water there, where it can be water, and not get in your way.
number three is to find out if your locale's legal requirements will affect you. One poster (from Mass.) has had quite a bit to say on the subject, and indicated a considerable control by the local authorities over possible re-direction of water and changing of wet areas (apparently they were mostly against it).

Menopause...the musical!!!
Hi Ladies, I ususally lurk on the home decorating forum, but am having my own issues with female stuff too and came here looking for ladies with same issues. Great site, wish there was more action though. I just got home from dr. today and will be scheduling surgery very soon. I will be getting the works! Hysterectomy, bladder sling, cystocele and rectocele repair...woohoo! I am 46 and bled for 200 days last year. Decided enough was enough!
But! Just wanted to share that I just saw Menopause the Musical and it was wonderfully hilarious!!! They took songs from the 60's and 70's and changed the words just enough to fit all the symptoms/stages of menopause! If you get the chance, go see it!!! I figured if I was fixing to enter menopause, I and my DH needed to see it. He enjoyed it also!

Definition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary
- The following documentation is located at Template:ja-put-in-scriptcat/documentation. [edit]
- Useful links: subpage list • transclusions • redirects
This is meant to be called from within Japanese headword templates like
{{ja-noun}}. It requires PAGENAME as the single unnamed parameter, and using that it returns the appropriate script category. At the moment there are three:
- Category:Japanese hiragana for terms that are entirely hiragana, sorted with the Module:ja|jsort key
- Category:Japanese katakana for terms that are entirely katakana, sorted with the Module:ja|jsort key converted back to katakana (note that previously this category was not given a sort key)
- Category:Japanese terms written in multiple scripts, where "multiple scripts" is taken to mean Roman letters or numbers in combination with a kana or Han characters.
The code (hopefully) always does the right thing, so it cannot be overridden, and templates that use this can ignore the values ka, h, k, and kk which previously served to do the same thing manually.

Do you love anyone enough?
After just being announced the winner of the Best Consumer Brand Campaign at the Nestle supplier of the year awards for our work with Rolo, we wanted to take a look back at the campaign as a whole.
The brand came to us looking to rejuvenate their well known campaign "Do you love anyone enough to give them your last Rolo" with the brief asking filmmakers to capture the tension of whether a Rolo lover should share their last Rolo with a loved one.
As you'll see from the winning films below, the results may surprise you…
First up, "To the moon and back" by Thomas Ward. Tom won first prize for this film and partied in Cannes with us last summer. Bring on the Rose for this year!!!
Next up we have the office hottie, by old MOFILM friend Sean Cunningham. Sorry MOFILM boys, but this is what us girls are really dreaming about… *cringe*
Caribbean Castaway is ready to whisk you off to the sunshine islands, pass me a Pina colada! Nick Bartleets first MOFILM entry really blew us all away with this stunning production.
Oli Kember has quickly moved up the MOFILM ranks working on various other projects and recently moving into Pro (check out Ryan on MOFILM News talking about Pro) His nostalgic theme and beautiful style really allows this emotional tale to shine.
Finally to complete the set we have our favourite Scandinavian pair Phie Hanson and Torben Kjelstrup. Their film was a humours take on the "First time"…

Some of the readings in this book came right from George's stand-up but that is perfectly fine with me! Full of short stories, thoughtful sentences, and vulgar comments, this audiobook is definitely for the George Carlin Fan.
If one George Carlin audio is funny, then two are funnier and three must be funniest, right? That's our thinking behind this new collection. t's a HighBridge library of laugh-out-loud, award-winning recordings featuring George himself performing many of his best bits.
"Like a Cast of Thousands"
The Fran Lebowitz Reader brings together in one volume, with a new preface, two best sellers, Metropolitan Life and Social Studies, by an "important humorist in the classic tradition" (The New York Times Book Review) who is "the natural successor to Dorothy Parker" (British Vogue). In "elegant, finely honed prose" (The Washington Post Book World), Lebowitz limns the vicissitudes of contemporary urban life - its fads, trends, crazes, morals, and fashions. By turns ironic, facetious, deadpan, sarcastic, wry, wisecracking, and waggish, she is always wickedly entertaining.
"Wonderful in her own voice."
American writer Samuel Clemens, better known by his pen name Mark Twain has given us some literary gems with Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn and his travel adventures in 19th-century Europe and to Australia and New Zealand. In How to Tell a Story and Other Essays, Twain discusses the telling of stories, rather than providing more stories.
"Great Stuff!!"
Yes, George Carlin is here with more of what he did better than any other comic: uproarious observations, laser-targeted crankiness, linguistic legerdemain, and inspired weirdness. ("If the shoe fits, get another just like it." "When you sneeze, all the numbers in your head go up by one.") Napalm & Silly Putty is just what his fans have been waiting for—another generous helping of notions, nonsense, assertions, assumptions, mockery, merriment, silliness, sarcasm, and, to be sure, plenty of disturbing references and toxic alienation.
From Lewis Black, the uproarious and perpetually apoplectic New York Times best-selling author and Daily Show regular, comes a ferociously funny book about his least favorite holiday, Christmas.
"Seemed a little forced (though he warns you)"
Beloved movie and television stars Bud Abbott and Lou Costello made their name on the radio, and the resulting long-running radio show preserved a rich vaudeville tradition and sensational comedy sketches. The sarcasm of Abbott's stern straight man is the perfect comedic compliment to the muffled screams of Costello's blustery "baaaad boy."
"Great retakes on entertaining the troops!"
Remember Those Fabulous 20s?; Land A Million Game Show; Butter In Taxicabs; Wish Fulfillment Playhouse.
Celebrity Primal Screams Contest; Chit-Chat with Pat Nixon; No-Eyes, Blind Detective.
Continue the tale of Ragged Dick as he becomes Richard Hunter in Fame and Fortune. Horatio Alger was once crowned "America's best-selling author of all time." His works are back and they read like never before. You will fall in love with these stories of success!
Grammy Winner for Best Spoken Comedy AlbumPerformed by George Carlin himself, and filled with thoughts, musings, questions, lists, beliefs, curiosities, monologues, assertions, assumptions, and other verbal ordeals, Brain Droppings is infectiously funny.
New! Don't miss our AudibleComedy combo, featuring original humor from standups Greg Proops and Steve Marmel.
This collection features 18 classic radio episodes of "Our Miss Brooks", starring Eve Arden in her famous role of Connie Brooks, Madison High's 10th grade English teacher. Co-starring Gale Gordon as Principal Osgood Conklin, Jeff Chandler as bashful biologist Philip Boynton, Richard Crenna as Connie's student Walter Denton and Jane Morgan as Connie's landlady Mrs. Davis.
"Great listen"
Mark Twain composed this short essay on the "art of lying" in 1885 for a meeting of the Historical and Antiquarian Club of Hartford, Connecticut. In the essay, Twain laments the four ways in which men of America's Gilded Age employ man's "most faithful friend". The essay, Twain notes, was "offered for the thirty-dollar prize," but it "did not take the prize."
Among radio comedy's most enduring features were its running gags - and few gags ran longer, or more hilariously, than the legendary feud between two of its great masters: Jack Benny and Fred Allen. For nearly 20 years the mere mention of Benny on an Allen program was guaranteed to produce an escalating laugh - just as bringing Allen up with Benny had listener in stitches at the mere anticipation of a response. This collection brings together the classic episodes that started it all, to the showdown that was supposed to end it once and for all.
Tom Swift and his Electric Runabout takes us back to gentler times when the bad guys weren't really that bad, didn't carry Uzis, and being an inventor like Thomas Edison was the dream of many young boys. In this book our hero creates an electric automobile with a top speed of over 100 mi./h, saves the bank, gives the bully two black eyes, wins the prize for the fastest automobile in a 500 mile race, only stopping once to recharge his batteries. Without a NASCAR pit crew, it only took Tom 25 min.
Neil Simon's darkly funny memoir of his family in 1930s Brooklyn is presented here by a full cast featuring Valerie Harper, Jonathan Silverman, and Max Casella.
"Brighton Beach Memoirs"
Five classic examples of the sheer comic genius of Mark Twain. "The One Million Pound Bank Note", "The McWilliamses and the Burglar Alarm", "The Stolen White Elephant", "Cannibalism in the Cars", and "The Awful German Language".
All my life, I've been a man-magnet. Everywhere I go, guys drop at my feet. After all, I have a perfect body, insatiable sex drive, and a razor wit. I'm also modest (can't you tell?). Trouble is, I've never been lucky in love. I only attract guys who forget their wallets and show up to dates wearing #@%#-stained clothes. With my best friend's wedding around the corner, I finally decide enough is enough. I'm not only going to find the perfect date to her wedding, but I'm going to find Mr. Right: a gorgeous man with a great sense of humor, a chiseled bod, talent in bed, and a big...(ahem) wallet. Is that too much to ask? If all goes right, my quest will lead me into the arms of my perfect match...or will it?
"Simone can't catch a break!"
A guy walks into a bar.From here, the story could take many turns. A guy walks into a bar and meets the love of his life. A guy walks into a bar and finds no one else is there. When this guy is David Sedaris, the possibilities are endless, but the result is always the same: he will both delight you with twists of humour and intelligence and leave you deeply moved. In Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls, Sedaris remembers his father's dinnertime attire (shirtsleeves and underpants), his first colonoscopy (remarkably pleasant), and the time he considered buying the skeleton of a murdered Pygmy. The common thread? Sedaris masterfully turns each episode into a love story: how it feels to be in a relationship where one loves and is loved over many years, what it means to be part of a family, and how it's possible, through all of life's absurdities, to accept oneself. With Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls, David Sedaris shows once again why he has been called 'A humorist par excellence, he can make Woody Allen appear ham-tongued, Oscar Wilde a drag' (Observer).

"Annoying narration"
Unlike most editions of Poor Richard, this one includes essentially all of the text, not just the aphorisms and sayings. This gives you, Courteous Listener, a much better appreciation of how Franklin wrote and thought. In particular, you will find that the full body of the Poor Richard almanacs contains a great deal of religious and spiritual thought in which Franklin laid out and propounded his understanding of Christianity as it stood in his day.
