Sacastic clap, often becomes a standing ovation. See golf clap
After the guy finished his speach he was sweating like a pig. To really rub it in we gave him a slow clap. When he finally got it over with he got a standing ovation.

After they hoisted their broken sled to their shoulders, the jamaican bob-sledders slowly walked towards the finish line. Much to their surprise, the dick-head East German began the slow clap. Soon, the whole crowd was riotously cheering them on.
作者 Weektit
Evenly spaced applause from a single individual, typically used to call attention to the clapper's presence rather than as a genuine accolade. A classic maneuver for any Samuel Jackson character.

An insult. Used to offend or make fun of.
That prick gave me the dreaded slow clap as I walked by him.

Hans Reiser led authorities to the location of his wife's body in exchange for a lighter sentence in his ongoing murder trial. Looks like the centerpiece of all these dumb conspiracy theories being spouted by Jade have been proven false... Hans Reiser is a murderer. I fully expect Jade to come up with some crazy type of explanation though as to why some secret Jewish order has both told Reiser of this location and convinced him to tell authorities about it.
On a different topic, I would like to see the reiser filesystem's name changed to something more fitting... possibly one of these:
ninaFS (I like this best... named after Reiser's victim)
killerFS (although that makes it sound like a good OS, as in a killer FS)
Of course, changing the name could potentially give it more attention than is warranted at this point. Keeping the Reiser name could very well keep this bit of code deservingly far away from kernel inclusion in the future.
EDIT: This is a little funny, sad, true, etc: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?...29437#Features
In case the above link gets edited before anyone clicks on it, the table has a new column labeled "Murders your wife". The reiser filesystems are appropriately labeled.

Well, there goes the saga. Story ends, let's move on...
I don't think there is a need for that. Though I like Reiser3 (I use it in majority of my systems), but I think it would fade away as we move towards ext4. Just like ext2, still there in the kernel, but I have not heard anyone using it in any production machines.
EDIT: After re-read your post, I think I need to increase level my "funny" detector.

Jade!! Where are you!?!? the conspiracy-alliance is on the way to impose it's own truth!!
"A worker at the office of Dubois told NBC11 that Reiser was shackled to his lawyer, so he would not run away, as Reiser WAS LED by authorities to the buried body off of the 8200 block of Skyline Boulevard."
Since Reiser has no way to tell the real story, maybe the above statement is more accurate than the actual one run by nbc11, namely;
"A worker at the office of Dubois told NBC11 that Reiser was shackled to his lawyer, so he would not run away, as he led authorities to the buried body off of the 8200 block of Skyline Boulevard."
From http://www.nbc11.com/news/16815295/detail.html
There are still all the very serious problems with the trials.
There are also many problems with the nbc11 story:
1) Reiser had to carry Nina some 500 meters through very rough terrain (perhaps possible, but at the time, he was very overweight and not very fit).
2) He had to carry her at night without being seen by the local residents (ie without light). He had to carry shovels from his house, ie, at least two trips, or find them elsewhere in the dark. He had to dig the hole.
3) The cadaver dog didn't smell any evidence of the body at Hans house or its surrounds. These dogs are amazingly good at doing their job. They can smell a body on a surface that has only come near (but not touched) a body. How many areas in Reiser's house and car got close to (but did not necessarily touch) Nina's body?
Something is seriously wrong here.
Tracker dogs (dogs with different training) are also amazingly good. You can give these dogs an item of clothing and they can track the trail left by even a dead dragged body.
4) It shows that the "evidence" of the missing car seat, the washing of the car, etc, etc,... in fact, all the evidence the verdict was based on, was totally irrelevant and did not point to murder at all.
5) It shows that the jury had to have be rigged. There is no other explaination, the jury reached a verdict based TOTALLY on what is now clearly NOT EVIDENCE AT ALL.
It seems more likely that someone else led the police to her body and police then led Reiser there to make it appear that Reiser was leading them.
The same people who framed Reiser in the first place are still framing him now.

Classis story, worth owning on hardback! Nook and Kindle is one thing, but I will always have this book! We had a slight complication with shipping. We received the books the first time and it looked as though the carrier had just thrown the box around and damaged the product! We contact O and they sent another set, no questions asked, given that we returned the damaged! Everything worked out great!
Love the books, love the films! Great set to have for fans and collectors. I took the dust covers off. The books are red with gold lettering. Arrived fast and in great condition.

I perchance this as a gift. The first seat arrived damaged. Called overstock they sent out new set arrived in time for Christmas. I was very happy with Customer service they where great help. My sister was very happy with this set. Thank you Overstock for every thing.
I looked for a nice Lord of the Rings boxed set for my husband for quite a while before I came accross this set. The price was good so I bought it for him. It looked very nice in the pictures but I was a little hesitant that the quality would not be that good. I sure was surprised! The quality is excellent! The pages of the book are very smooth and kind of shiny like you would find in an encyclopedia. The books are a little taller than I expected and very substantial. If you are just looking for a set for reading quickly, this is not the set for you. This is a set to read, cherish and display!

MELBOURNE, Australia � The opponent was different, the match three rounds earlier.
Still, the result gave Novak Djokovic a familiar feeling, and another chance to rip off his shirt in celebration.
Djokovic needed 5 hours to beat Stanislas Wawrinka 1-6, 7-5, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 12-10 in a fourth-round match Sunday night at the Australian Open, on the same court where he needed 5:53 to beat Rafael Nadal in last year�s final.
�I just had flashback of 2012,� Djokovic said. �It was maybe 45 minutes less this match than the one 12 months ago, but still it was still as exciting. I tried to enjoy the moment and couldn�t ask for more. What a match point ... unbelievable.�
He wasn�t exaggerating about the match point. On his third attempt to end it, his backhand cross-court shot zipped past the valiant Wawrinka, who, Djokovic conceded, had outplayed him for most of the night.
�He came up with great tactics,� Djokovic said. �He didn�t give me a lot of the same rhythm that I could get into the match. He was the one being in charge. I was passive.�
The win was Djokovic�s 18th in a row at Melbourne Park after winning the last two Australian titles and advanced the Serbian star to the quarterfinals of his 15th consecutive major tournament.
Wawrinka, who had been receiving treatment to his upper leg muscles from late in the fourth set, said he would take more positives than negatives out of the match. He led 5-2 in the second set after outplaying Djokovic in the first.
�For sure, I think the best match I have ever played,� Wawrinka said.
�I fought like a dog like always. At 4-4 in the final set, I thought I might have won the match, but he was just better.�
Djokovic will next play No. 5 Tomas Berdych, who needed five match points in the tiebreaker before beating South Africa�s Kevin Anderson 6-3, 6-2, 7-6 (13).
Fourth-seeded David Ferrer won 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 over No. 16 Kei Nishikori of Japan to set up a quarterfinal against fellow Spaniard Nicolas Almagro, who was leading 6-2, 5-1 when No. 8 Janko Tipsaveric retired from their fourth-round match.
The Djokovic-Wawrinka match overshadowed Maria Sharapova�s accomplishment earlier in the day.
Sharapova advanced to the quarterfinals with a 6-1, 6-0 win over Kirsten Flipkens in another impressive display � last year�s French Open champion has lost just five games through four rounds, breaking the Australian Open mark of eight held previously by eventual champions Steffi Graf and Monica Seles.
�A couple that I�ve won, I felt like I was playing great from the beginning, and I was able to carry that through the whole tournament,� said Sharapova, who won titles in 2004 at Wimbledon, 2006 at the U.S. Open and 2008 in Australia before completing her career Grand Slam with a victory at last year�s French Open.
She can�t remember winning so few games through four rounds of a tournament, but realizes this means nothing if she doesn�t make it to the latter stages.
�Well, I�m certainly happy to be playing this well but ... it only gets tougher from here,� said Sharapova, who is playing her first tournament of 2013 after withdrawing from a warm-up event at Brisbane because of an injured right collarbone.
She next plays fellow Russian Ekaterina Makarova, who beat fifth-seeded Angelique Kerber 7-5, 6-4. Sharapova defeated Makarova in the quarterfinals here last year on her way to the final, which she lost in straight sets to Victoria Azarenka.
Li Na, who reached the final here in 2011 and won the French Open later that year, saved a set point in the tiebreaker before beating Julia Goerges 7-6 (6), 6-1. She�ll play No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska, who beat No. 13 Ana Ivanovic 6-2, 6-4 for her 13th consecutive win. Radwanska won the Auckland and Sydney titles before coming to Melbourne.
Today, Roger Federer plays Milos Raonic, and U.S. Open champion Andy Murray faces Gilles Simon.
Azarenka, Serena Williams and fellow American Sloane Stephens also have their fourth-round matches.
They will have a tough time matching the spectacle of Sunday�s late-night encounter.
Djokovic had beaten Wawrinka � the perennial No. 2 among Swiss tennis players to 17-time major winner Roger Federer � in their 10 previous matches.
He hadn�t lost a head-to-head since 2006 and had won 11 consecutive sets between them.
Wawrinka stunned the top-ranked Djokovic with three service breaks in the first set and had that 5-2 lead in the second before the 25-year-old Serb rallied by winning six consecutive games.
But just as Djokovic seemed to be taking control, Wawrinka launched his own comeback to win a long tiebreaker and force a fifth set.
Djokovic got to serve first in the fifth, giving him a psychological edge as long as he held his serve.
Wawrinka had game point in the 22nd game but let Djokovic get on a roll. He saved his first match point with a service winner, then saved another two minutes later.
At 1:40 a.m. local time, Wawrinka was whacking his head with the racket and biting the ball after giving Djokovic another match point.
Moments later, he was slumped on the court, exhausted.
Djokovic raised both arms, walked to the net and embraced his beaten rival, then pulled of his shirt and flexed.
�Give him credit, he made me run all over the court,� Djokovic said. �He never gave me the same ball. He was aggressive from both sides. I didn�t know what was coming next.�

Bianca's Emboar
this wiki
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
As a Tepig, Bianca had to train it at home because of her father. Her father made her a deal to get a Starter Pokémon, she had to stay home and wait until she turns 12 years old to start her journey with Tepig. So later she trained her Tepig at home and later evolved into Pignite.
It made its first on-screen appearance in Minccino-Neat and Tidy! where it battled a wild Minccino but was defeated by its Hyper Voice and Tickle combo, and it also battled Ash's Pikachu but it was defeated by its Volt Tackle attack.
In BW024 Pignite was used by Bianca to help her track down an Emolga she wanted to catch, but unfortunately while looking it made a wild Scolipede angry after he attacked it with flamethrower. In the next episode it battle Iris's newly caught Emolga, Emolga used Attract on Pignite and used Volt Switch, which instead of calling out one of Iris's other Pokémon it call out Ash's Snivy, the battle continued but no winner was seen.
Pignite has been in 2 gym battles by himself since it was the only Pokémon Bianca had. That made him a powerhouse Pokémon in her team since its battle against Elesa's Zebstrika in Enter Elesa, Electrifying Gym Leader! He was the only one who is strong enough for him and stayed in the longest in battle but eventually lost as the final Pokémon.
It appeared in BW073 where it was shown to have evolved. Everyone was surprised to see this. It was used to battle Trip's Conkeldurr in the 1st round of the Clubsplosion, it was shown to have a lot of difficulty in landing a hit on Conkeldurr and was getting beaten by it, but it was able to counter against Conkelldurr by using its newly learned move fling to throw back its own boulders, knocking it out off the battle. Later it was used again in the 2nd round battle Georgia's Bisharp where it was easily able to defeat it with a powerful Flamethrower, letting Bianca go in to the semifinals. In the semifinal match it went up against Stephan's Sawk, it first used its hammer arm but it could land it and was hit back by a combo of Sawk's Bulk Up and Karate Chop, its attacks again proved too slow against Sawk's fast movements and was finally taken down by a close combat knocking Bianca off the tournament.
Emboar once against appeared in BW105, it was used in the first round of the Unova League against Michael's Watchog and won the battle easily. In BW106, it was used again in Bianca's battle against Cameron. Emboar defeated Cameron's Samurott, but was quickly defeated by Cameron's Riolu, resulting in her losing the battle and her elimination from the tournament.

Bridge House
Sometimes it's necessary to step outside the box a little in order to get a client what they want. That's exactly what Mark Kohler and his team at Kohler Homes did in order to give this Clifton, Va. family the addition they wanted. With a creative design, Kohler Homes added needed space without upsetting water drainage on the property.
Challenged with a natural swale that wasn't to be disrupted, Mark Kohler's group had to figure out how to build a $600,000 addition that would include a living room, master suite, office, deck and add more basement space to the carriage house. Luckily, this is what Mark loves to do and by developing a plan to platform the living room over the swale he was able to bridge the old and the new for this home.
"I grew up with my dad as an architect and he actually tried to discourage me from becoming an architect," says Mark Kohler, president and CEO of Kohler Homes and Kohler Associates Architects. "Ever since we were little kids we were building tree and underground forts. We had a shop at our house and whenever I wasn't at school I was building something.
After three weeks in architecture school I just loved it and never looked back. I just couldn't see myself doing anything else."
Kohler Enterprises, started in 1963 by Mark's dad, Karl Kohler, specialized in design-build at a time when it was frowned upon by the American Institute of Architects. "Of course Thomas Jefferson did the same thing, so that's come about full circle," adds Kohler
Kohler Homes spun off as sort of an extension of Kohler Enterprises in the early '90s. That way Mark Kohler would have exclusive ownership of the company and it allowed his father to retire. No money had to exchange hands and Mark could continue doing what he was doing.
Until 1990 or so Kohler Homes, a Class A general contracting company, did a mixture of light commercial and residential, then after the recession of 1990/1991 the company made the switch over to all residential work. "Kohler Homes is the company where we construct our projects," explains Mark. "It's a design-build company and even though we don't build every project, we built about 90 percent of them."
Kohler Homes generally builds 15 to 20 projects a year. Out of those, there are usually two or three custom homes, with the rest of the work usually in high-end additions and renovation projects.
Bridging the Gap
Mark met the owners of the project, David and Phylicia Wright, at a home show and through a big renovation Kohler Homes did for David's business partner. When they decided to move forward with the project, Dave contacted Mark with some preliminary drawings of what he was thinking about. Dave is president of a large masonry company, specializing in commercial work, so he wanted to do the masonry work on his home but have the rest of it contracted out. After meeting and liking Mark's ideas, Dave hired Kohler Homes as an architect to take the home to the next level.
Dave had built his carriage house home when working for a contractor in the early 90s. The existing three-bedroom house was originally constructed as a carriage house to serve a future estate home that would be located further up the hill on the property. After the contractor went belly up, the property was sold at auction and Dave bought the property. After living in the house with his family for many years, Dave felt it was time to look at expanding the existing house.
With the Wright's desire to expand, they wanted a new family room area, an entry that would bring people into the house instead of just walking in the door and something that would also integrate the carriage house into the new proposed addition.
So as part of the new layout Kohler Homes designed a stone tower with a copper roof that included an all wood look on the inside for the entry feature. From there the team went on to create the family room, new master bedroom suite and an office for Dave.
"Part of the reason we ended up with the design that we did — they wanted to stay in the house that they had, but the house is on a steep hill and the only direction that we could build was to the left of the house," says Mark. "It's set back in a wooded setting and a good chunk of the forest there drained right next to the house. In order to preserve the forest and take more of a green design approach, we thought it might be nice to make the house a bridge and bridge over the swale. We figured that would allow everything to drain through there and we would not have to cut down any more trees than what we needed for the footprint of the addition."
Kohler Homes envisioned the bridge portion to be sort of light and airy with the addition and the stone tower to act as anchors for the bridge family room. A deck was also added with wire railing so it wouldn't stand out too much and take away from the bridge portion. This idea for the design was perfect for the Wrights since they want to develop the water features that will run under the bridge portion of the addition and have a series of waterfalls in the future.
In the family room, Kohler Homes took the stone wall, originally the stone exterior of the carriage house, and transformed that into a main focal point in the family room. Being a contractor himself Dave knew specifically the kind of materials he wanted to use, and in other cases both parties would meet and discuss them to look at different options.
"On the inside of the house I wanted it to take on a more timber frame look after the house was framed up so I brought in one of my craftsman to talk about the different options," explains Mark. "We played with some old rough-sawn white oak and cut it out and created the beams. If you look at it you can't tell that that's not conventional timber framing, but it was an economical way to get that look and integrate it into the structure otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to afford real timber framing."
For the floor, a combination of soapstone and quarter-sawn white oak was used. The Wrights did want radiant floor heat throughout the project. The main floor of the project ended up being steel panned construction with a concrete slab integrated with the radiant floor heat, and so was the slab in the basement. The white oak turned out to be a good look as well as particularly stable with the radiant heating. The soapstone idea came from the kitchen remodel done just previously to this project and the soapstone countertops that were used in there. Dave found some nice soapstone that blended in and defines the space and circulation between the family room and the kitchen.
As part of the exterior, the original house had a cedar shake roof that doesn't really hold up very well in this area at all. After looking at different types of roofs it was decided to use Ecostar that looks like slate that is low maintenance and has held up very well. In association with that Kohler Homes added the copper roof features over the bump-out off the master bedroom and entry tower. For the other exterior surfaces that included the gables and the other side of the bridge living room Hardie plank board and baton panels were used to complete the look.
A New Home
"One of the problems working on this project was getting things up the gravel driveway which is twisty, narrow and steep," says Mark. "Just getting the products physically there because there was not a lot of room to store materials or turn around was a logistics problem. And we just couldn't manage more than three cars up there at a time." But Mark and his team at Kohler Homes were able to get the job done and walk away with some happy homeowners.
"They were wonderful to work with," explains Mark. "We started a program a year ago where we identify and vote on who our favorite client is and present them with an award we call Client of the Year award. The Wrights were selected because they were very pleasant, very interested in design and we worked very well together. They were as close as I could say to the perfect client. They had great ideas and we all worked well together to take the project to the next level from the design standpoint."
The Wrights loved their addition. Mark even keeps the two page letter they wrote to Kohler homes going on and on about how happy they are with the project.

Housing & Residential Living
Alcohol and Other Drugs Policy
The Carleton College policy on alcohol and other drugs exists within the context of local, state, and federal laws. The regulations contained in this policy are designed to comply with all applicable City of Northfield ordinances and the laws of Minnesota and the United States, including the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989.
Philosophical Statement
Carleton College is committed to promoting responsible behavior regarding the use of alcoholic beverages. As an educational institution, the College provides resources through which students are empowered to inform themselves about the physiological, psychological, and sociological effects of alcohol and other drugs upon the individual and the community.
In a civil, safe, and healthy community, members take responsibility for their own actions, and consider the impact that their choices will have on others. All members have a duty to accept their obligations to the group, and to act for the common good. As members of such a community, Carleton students, faculty, and staff will be held accountable for upholding the standards set forth for appropriate behavior.
Above all else, in all actions, both on and off campus, members of the Carleton community shall:
- Demonstrate respect for others in their actions.
- Acknowledge the impact of alcohol on communal living, and work to limit its negative effects.
- Retain autonomy, and thereby accountability for their choices and the outcomes of such choices.
The policies which follow, and the philosophy upon which they are based, are intended to foster the continued growth and development of a respectful and responsible community.
The provisions regulating student conduct in the Community Standards Policy apply. The following regulations apply to alcohol and other drugs:
1. Notwithstanding this or any other College regulation or policy, the provisions of Northfield city ordinances and laws of Minnesota and the United States including the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989 (Public Law 101-226), shall govern.
2. The College prohibits the unlawful possession, use, and/or distribution of alcohol and illicit drugs by students and employees on College property or as part of any College activities. (see also Smoking Policy)
3. The college will confiscate any unlawful or unauthorized items. This includes, but is not limited to paraphernalia, bongs, pipes, drugs, kegs, beer bongs, etc. Once confiscated, the items will not be returned. Persons under 21 years of age are prohibited from drinking alcoholic beverages. Persons 21 years of age or older may drink alcoholic beverages only in their private residential rooms or at registered events. Alcohol is not permitted in any public area without prior registration. Public areas include but are not limited to: Sayles-Hill, Severance Great Hall, dining halls, residence hall and house lounges/living rooms study rooms and corridors, all academic buildings and athletic areas, and all outdoor areas owned and operated by the College, including outdoor recreational areas.
4. Possession of open containers of alcohol is prohibited at all times at all campus locations, except at registered event locations or in private residential rooms.
5. All kegs or common containers (e.g. punch bowls, garbage cans, inflatable pools, etc.) of alcohol are allowed on campus only if the following two criteria are met: 1) the event is registered in advance through the Social Event Registration process through either Student Activities or Residential Life, and 2) the alcohol is served by a College approved licensed third party vendor.
6. No kegs or common containers of alcohol are allowed in private residential spaces (village apartments, residence hall rooms, floor lounges, etc.)
7. Hard alcohol is allowed at registered events, but must be approved and served by a College approved licensed third party vendor. For the purpose of this policy, Carleton defines hard alcohol as anything other than beer, wine, or malt beverage.
8. All alcohol which is unauthorized will be confiscated along with all other related items (taps, kegs, cups, etc.). Note: This may result in loss of any purchaser's deposit(s). The student host or residents of the event will be held responsible and will face disciplinary action.
9. Public areas may be registered for an event at which alcohol will be available by submitting the appropriate event registration form to the Office of Residential Life (for events in residences) or the Student Activities Office (for all other events). A full description of the regulations and responsibilities to which event sponsors are subject is found on the following websites:
Residential Life - https://apps.carleton.edu/student/housing/forms/ and/or
Student Activities Office - https://apps.carleton.edu/campus/campact/planninganevent/eventregistration/

Facebook app crashing for some users
My Twitter stream is being swamped by people claiming the iOS Facebook app is crashing for them today. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the recent iOS 6.0.1 or iOS 6.1 beta 1 firmwares either, and people who haven't gone near either of those are reporting the problem. It also doesn't seem to be a problem for everyone, as other people are saying they're just fine.
Maybe some piece of content is causing a problem for those folks unlucky enough to have loaded it? Who knows. Let's hope it fixes itself, or Facebook fixes it, as soon as possible.
In the meantime, if you use Facebook for iOS, let me know if it's working for you, and if it's not, how it's not.
And if it's not, remember, you can always use facebook.com to get at least some of your fix in the meantime...

Facebook app crashing for some users
Has anyone heard anything about this from Facebook? I'm on an iPhone 4S with iOS 5.1.1 and can't use the Facebook app at all since I installed Facebook's last update. It crashes a second after opening. I've uninstalled and re-installed, rebooted, nothing works and they didn't respond to my help request.
It is crashing for me on both my iPad 2 and iPhone 5. This started before I upgraded the OS to 6.0.1 from 6.0.
I've been using it on & off all day with no issues. Then around 3:15pm (est) the crashing began. Tried deleting and re-installing but same results.
Crashing on both my iPad 3 & iPhone 5, right after updating both. I was using FB on both devices prior to the update, with no problems.
My Facebook app started crashing seconds after launching before I was even aware of the new software update. It was around the time that most sites are saying it started. I tried checking it at about 2:29 central time and that's when it crashed. Hasn't loaded since.
Mine keeps crashing on the news feed, if I'm quick enough I can get to another page and it works fine. When I go back to the news feed it crashes.
Crashing on my iPad, updated to 6.0.1 already too. I was just accepting that probalby was some content that some friend posted causing some problem but now that I see this on my RSS, probalby is a bigger problem ;)
Updated (iPhone 4S) then Facebook would not load, kept crashing. Closed app, still crashed. Deleted app at redownloaded. Now my Facebook works fine.
I have been having problems with mine lately as well (pre 6.0.1, iPhone5). Just last night it crashed seconds after opening and comments are frequently not showing up under statuses. I often have to comment on something before a slew of comments will show up. Have now updated to 6.0.1 and it has opened w/o crashing on one ocassion, time will tell on future crashes and comments showing up.
So I haven't updated to 6.0.1 and my FB app was crashing when scrolling to the bottom of the newsfeed on my iPhone 5. Solution for me seems to be to logout of the FB app. Once I pressed logout, the app recognized I was still logged in via iOS and gave me a 'Continue' button to log me back in. After that it has let me go to the bottom of newsfeed and will show older posts. Try it.
Crashes for me when I sign in to the app every time on both my iPod touch 5 and iPhone 4S running iOS 6 and this starting happening around noon eastern time for me
Updated my iPhone 5, and Facebook is the same. And by the same, I mean I am in month two of no Facebook post alert sounds. It sucks.
Didn't even know about ios 6 update until tonight.......but my FB app DID crash for no reason earlier today. iphone 4, ios 6, verizon, and was on wifi. It would open up, load a bit, then BAM home screen and icons. lol. even restarted it, and same thing. but just checked it now (still have not updated to ios 6.0.1 and it did not crash). wait lemme try again.....ok yep still good. Phew!
Ditto here. Updated today to 6.0.1 0 iPhone 5 and Skype has yet to fix their app on the iPhone 5....yet nobody wants to talk about Skype???
Why are you all still using Facebook?
"Eben Moglen on Facebook, Google and Government Surveillance"
Not only is my facebook app crashing since yesterday afternoon, my music and podcast apps are doing it as well. I am about to lose it! I did update to the new software but it isn't only my facebook that is affected.
While it's nothing in relation to Facebook, my iPhone 5 keeps crashing when I use Siri. It did not do this before updating to iOS 6.0.1
Off topic: Do we really need to have "Ads by Google" sprinkled all over discussion threads as well! Could we have at least that without advertising? Just how far will websites go to make a buck anyway?
App crashes on my iphone after seconds of trying to open it. However on my ipad 3, i am able to open the app and then it crashes. Both running on ios 5.1.1
Been using Facebook app on my iPad 3rd Gen wifi iOS5.1.1 for a long time and it's been fine but as of yesterday it started to crash the minute I start the app, tried to remove it and install a fresh copy but still no luck. My brother's Facebook app works fine on his iPad 3 iOS6.0.1 so I'm not sure what the problem is....but I have to note, my Facebook app has been getting really buggy especially after updating it to facebook v4.2 onwards...I think it was 4.2 and then 4.2.1 can't really remember what the version numbers. Hope it gets a fix soon, funny thing is Facebook still works on my MyPad+....
My Facebook app won't even start up after I updated it to the newer version. Frustrating as I am traveling and only have my phone for Internet access at the moment. I'll try getting the full site on my phone. Hopefully Facebook fixes this soon :)
I am having the same problem with my facebook app but i think its a problem with their login system for the app. I hav deleted the app many times and reinstalled it and it opens asking me to login. Once i put my login info in and hit login, the second it starts loging in it crases and crashes everytime i reopen it until i reinstall it again. I think thats because the login data is saved and it automatically logs in once the app is open and it crashes.
Mine also crashing (using 4s with latest updates). Was working fine until an hour ago. Reinstalled app, soft reset on phone...no luck. Facebook App..........well & truly broken on my phone, the wife's however is fine?!
Anyone having this problem also have a Jailbreak? I do and facebook app is crashing after login. I noticed however that you can restart your iPad in safe mode when jail broken by holding the volume up button while restarting. When started in this safe mode the Facebook app works for me again! Off course the jailbreak/cydia tweaks do not work in this mode as they are no longer loaded. They will load again after normal restart.
Here's a temporary to fix that first download ifunbox (http://www.i-funbox.com/) after download and installation connect idevice launch ifunbox expand the left panel where your device is shown go to user application open facebook folder in right panel then go to documents folder from there open prefrences and then open "com.facebook.Facebook.plist" in notepad use ctrl+f and find "mozilla"(quotations not included) after finding that you will see Mozilla/5.0 all you have to do is to replace that 5 by 4 so it should look like this Mozilla/4.0 close notepad save changes and reboot your idevice and congrats mission accomplished launch facebook to test it
(same thing can be done with ifile)
NOTE:This fix is not from officials.I just figured it out by figuring log files nerdy stuff :D
Facebook seems to be crashing while I am logged in but I logged in under my wife's FB account and it works fine? Could it be a setting in my FB account?
I've got one 4S and an iPad 2, both on 5.1.1 jail broken.. I delete the app and re install it on both devices, it asks for login credentials and after than it crashes.. each and every time I try after that it crashes, but, when another app asks for perms on my account, it works, after that still crashes!
anything guys..?
My crashes shortly after opening on both my iPhone 4 and iPad 3. Have updated OS on both, but crashes started before I updated.
The app crashes on opening, iPad 2. Both before updated and after. Also Facebook.com in safari doesn't function properly either. Can't tap on comment, like, see more :-( ........
Hoped for update so I can use Facebook app on iPad again, still crash after opening, if I m logged in. deinstalled and new install, open close no issue until I try to do more then opening, so after entering login data. Good bye on 5,1,1 and ipad2
I have an IPAD 3 with the new OS. As of late through Safari, I am unable to share posts, respond to posts, or "like" posts. Have reset iPad without success. Insight?
Just updated to 6.0.01 on iPhone 4, and the Facebook app crashes upon opening. Have tried: removing and replacing app; rebooting phone; initializing phone as "new"; changing password on computer, then re-installing app and restarting; have tried everything I can think of to get Facebook to work. Visited three Apple Stores: King of Prussia, San Francisco, and Philadelphia: no one can solve the problem. The Philadelphia store said it was a hardware issue and wanted me to buy a new phone to solve the problem. So as a test, I updated the app on my iPad 3. Now it crashes, too. Grrrr! Is there no solution to this problem?
Jailbroken Iphone 4 Facebook crashed right after login screen. I tried turning my Iphone off then back on and facebook app still crashed. I uninstalled the facebook app and installed desktop facebook from installous. Now facebook works.
I have kind of a weird case. So, I was using Facebook, and then it crashed as usual. (What else do you expect from Facebook?) So I tried to log back in, but it kept crashing. Finally, I reinstalled the app and logged in once it downloaded. It crashed, and I had to reinstall again. This time, however, I logged in with a different account and it worked just fine. I logged out and logged back into my original account, and then it crashed again. I haven't been using the Facebook app since then, and I use an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1.1.
I am having this same issue. Have you gotten this problem resolved? My phone is new and this is the only problem I am having. I am thinking it must be some setting in my Facebook account but I have tried to mirror the settings in the account that I could use to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.
iPhone 4 5.1OS - Facebook app crashes a few seconds. Installed a second time, still crashes. Have not been able to sign in yet. Makes me wonder how they let it crash. What is it attempting to do - to have such a bug?
I installed the update for facebook yesterday. I have not been able to open fb since. It acts like it's going to start to open and then crashes after about 2 seconds. I deleted it and re-installed it twice. Turned my iPod off in between. Still crashes.
I downloaded the latest Facebook update-now crashing prior to actually starting the app. I've not downloaded the IOS update- still on 5.1 I think. Any fixes yet?
Crashes everytime i open facebook!! I thought it was the new update this confirms it. why do they change a good thing ? Just let it be!!!
white&neonGreen iPhone 4s iOS 5.0.1 Jb untethered LOVE IT
I updated my facebook app last night. Hadn't done it in a long time. Did not update my phone to the 6. Now Facebook closes as soon as it opens. So frustrating
Mine won't even load the app, it goes to a white screen with the Facebook blue strip at the top of the screen and it kicks me out like as soon as I try to go in. It's like in the matter of 5 seconds it kicks me out.
I've just updated Facebook on my iPod touch now it won't work at all just goes blank when I click on it. I've taken it off and reinstalled it loads of times now even rebooted my iPod . What can I do now
grrr i have the 6.0.1 installed was working fine until i signed out of facebook on my iphone and tried to sign back in, thought i'd try on my ipad but that didn't work either so i followed the instructions to try to "fix" the problem but cannot open the help center on my iphone either. even if i just try to go to anything with the word "facebook" in it in my safari it will not open, every other site works just fine. super frustrated. even tried to uninstall and reinstall and that didn't work. any ideas, anyone?
I am still using the older iOS and have not updated to 6.0.1. Today I updated my apps, including my Facebook app on my iPhone 4 and now the app starts, has a blue bar at the top and then disappears without connecting to FB. I have uninstalled the app and reinstalled with no change. I have rebooted the phone, no change. When I double click on the start button the Facebook App shows as started, but if you select it is does the same thing again. When I check my account on Facebook online through my laptop the iphone session is shown as active. Would say there is a problem with the new updated app. Help!!!
I haven't updated my Iphone 4s 5.1.1 but after I updated the Facebook App Facebook stop working. It crashes two seconds after I try to open so it wont even open all the way for me
Updated to 6.0.1 on iPhone 5: Crashing seconds after launching. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, tried power off and then on and still crashing. wth
My fb app opens and works until I try to type anything (commenting or status updates). I can get 6 letters in and it freezes. I can't do anything other than close the app and try again. I have to open it twice to see anything. This has been going on for about a week.
Just downloaded FB app on iPad and iPhone, both crash on the opening. tired everything from deleting app and re-installing to hard re-boot. other than setting it back to factory settings which i dont want to do, what could be a answer.
I didn't have any problems with the app before upgrading to iOS 6 and after upgrading. It starred suddenly without notice, the Facebook started crashing and it is not launching either until I keep pressing the icon several times until it works but it crashes after minutes of using, I was wondering if there's anyway to remove the cache of the application because even removing it and downloading again doesn't work too.
Just insane!! it crashed, then now i cant see the fb icon on my phone!!! tried to reinstall fb...i have the icon on itunes but wont come out on my phone!!!fix this!!!!!!
Yesterday i updated Facebook apps in my iPhone 4, but now the apps is not running . Its terrible, why so ?
ok the same thing happened to my ipod, it worked again when i synced my ipod to the computer, hope it helps c:
I don't think it's an issue with the ios 6.1 as I've not been able to use the facebook app for weeks, if i use app version is never loads fully anyway before crashing and i use the web-based version though safari that will crash after a minute or so, also using games on the iPad that need to log-in to facebook is impossible as it stalls. Oh and I'm still on the 5.1.1
Just got the iPhone 5 and installed Facebook but crashes every time I click on someone's status or picture to comment. I can browse absolutely fine without seeing comments etc (I'm nosy like that!). I'm on iOS 6.0 but have an update waiting for iOS 6.0.1. I don't think it's the software that's the problem it seems to be facebook. Strange that its fine on the iMac and iPad? Someone please find a fix its driving me insane!
Luke, I am having the exact same problem. It's been going on for nearly a week. It's completely Facebook account-related, as my wife can sign in using my phone and not have a problem. But the second I log back in to my app, it crashes when I open someone's feed to comment. Updating to iOS 6.1.2 didn't help, either.
Ever simce I upgraded to IOS 6.1.2 facebook has been crashing in a few seconds factory restore did not help either
Mine crashes and freezes temporarily. It will just stop working when I click a pic and after rubbing around all over the screen, the app crashes or it backs me up a screen. Also it's impossible to type comments n such when it's slow like that because every letter takes about 7 seconds to register and appear on the screen
My heart is broken since I upgraded to IOS 6.1.2. Facebook completely useless. I can open it & read for max of 10 seconds. I can't post anything. I feel I've lost my family as its how we all communicate.
I have deleted & put on again several times. Rebooted & done everything advised. Still unusable.
Same problem here i just got my new iphone5 and already updated ios6.1.2 same problems facebook notification photos :( i think the problem is facebook facebook application need to update..
My Facebook app won't open at all!!!! I've tried the getting more free apps suggestion and rebooting- nothing!
facebook is crashing on my iphone 3gs with ios 6.0.1 i have to open facebook 3 times before it will actually open up, and it will open up on the 3rd time everytime.......
Got an ipod touch and facebook has NEVER worked without crashing or messing up. I can't wait to get a non apple device to replace this thing.
I am 99% sure that Facebook should be made by android partners and they make this app a nightmare for IOS hardwares, because they can not be such an idiots to make a bad runnig app for so long...f...them
I just downloaded the new update for 11-8-2013 and it was for bug issues. I tried to load it but it changed my ap to a dark color and now unusable. So I deleted the app and plugged in to the Itunes to sync with the phone, no good either. So I went to the app store and tried to re-download it and it says its doing it but its not then I get a pop up yo try again later this is for Iphone4S with IOS7
I tried everything and still crashes. I searched the app store and I found this great app: Facefull https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/facefull-for-facebook-full/id408260441?m...
You can use Facebook like on your PC or desktop.

Today, Dry Creek Vineyard is committed to vineyard diversity, vinifying individual lots of fruit separately, and then blending carefully for each final cuvee. Dry Creek Vineyard is also a leader in the stewardship of pre-Prohibition Zinfandel vines and vineyards, and has isolated a clone, called the "Heritage Clone," which is bottled separately from their "Old Vines" Zinfandel (containing wine only from vines no younger than 50 years old), and which has made very promising wines. View all Dry Creek Vineyard Wines
About Sonoma County
View a map of Sonoma County wineriesTwice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about a half the amount of wine as her northeasterly neighbor. But Sonoma, with her size, is able to vouch for more diversity within her borders, including sub-AVAs that are climatically varied. The atmosphere of Sonoma is decidedly laid back and down home country style. But in wines, they are keeping up with the Joneses, or Napa-ites if you will. Grape varieties are more varied here, from Pinot Noir and Zinfandel to Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
Notable Facts
The largest sub-AVAs of Sonoma include Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley and Sonoma Valley. Each sub-AVA, with its own micro-climate, is unique in its grape varieties and styles of wine. Dry Creek makes a mean Zinfandel while Russian River produces stand up Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Alexander Valley makes some of the better Cabernet Sauvignons in the county and Sonoma Valley creates excellent wines from all the above varieties. Other grapes found throughout Sonoma include Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Syrah.About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Masterson faces Nationals as Tribe returns home
Indians end road trip with series win; Gonzalez starts for Washington
The Indians spent more than a week in free fall, losing eight straight games to go from a half-game out in the American League Central to 5 1/2 behind the Tigers. But manager Terry Francona's crew might just be headed back in the right direction.
Cleveland won its second straight to finish off a series win against the Rangers on Wednesday in Texas, regaining a game on Detroit to pull 4 1/2 games back. The Tribe comes home for a nine-game stand, beginning Friday night against the Nationals.
The Indians, who are 18-12 at home and 14-21 on the road, will hand the ball to Justin Masterson as they welcome the Nationals for a rare meeting. The teams have split six games all-time, with Washington taking two of three at Progressive Field in 2010.
Masterson (8-5, 3.68 ERA), like his team, has been much more effective at home. He has a 2.36 ERA in seven starts at Cleveland, compared with a 5.12 ERA in seven road outings.
On Sunday at Detroit, the right-hander gave up four runs on six hits in seven innings, walking three and striking out four. Most of the damage came on one pitch, which Don Kelly hit for a go-ahead three-run homer in the sixth.
"Masty competed," Francona said afterward. "I didn't think he had his best command, but he still navigated his way through that lineup."
The Nationals, who will turn to Gio Gonzalez, moved back over the .500 mark with Thursday's 5-4 win in Colorado and have won four of their last five. One thing they have done is find success against the American League. Washington is 8-4 so far in Interleague Play.
Gonzalez (3-3, 3.59) has turned his season around after a slow start, even if he doesn't have many wins to show for it. The left-hander owns a 2.36 ERA and .196 opponents' average over his past seven starts.
Gonzalez has enjoyed pitching at Progressive Field even more than Masterson, albeit in a much smaller sample. In four career outings there, from 2009-11 with the A's, he is 4-0 with a 0.68 ERA and 27 strikeouts in 26 2/3 innings.
Nationals: Desmond on all-around roll
• Ian Desmond has been getting it done on both sides of the ball lately.
He went 4-for-4 Thursday to extend his hitting streak to 15 games, and that performance came on the heels of a two-hit, three-RBI night Wednesday. It's the longest streak of Desmond's career and his second reaching double digits this season.
Meanwhile, Thursday marked Desmond's career-high 46th consecutive errorless game. Desmond last committed a defensive miscue on April 21 and now owns the longest active errorless streak by a big league shortstop.
• Catcher Wilson Ramos suffered a setback with his strained left hamstring while doing running drills, and manager Davey Johnson called him a "long shot" to return before the All-Star break. Ramos has been on the disabled list since May 15.
Indians: Santana moving around the field
• Carlos Santana was at his natural position behind the plate on Wednesday, but Francona has been making more of an effort to give him starts at first base and designated hitter of late.
Wednesday marked only the fifth time in 13 games Santana was in the lineup at catcher. The Indians want him to stay fresh, and it seems to be working. After a down period at the plate, Santana is 12-for-36 (.333) over his past 10 games.
"I think it will help [Santana]," Francona said. "I think his body will feel fresher. I know he loves to catch, but I think it'll be good for him in the long run. He is [still] going to catch the bulk of the games."
• Slugging first baseman Mark Reynolds has been going through an uncharacteristic power outage. His 0-for-4 game Wednesday was his 12th straight without a home run. Since May 10, Reynolds has two home runs and one double while hitting .180.
Worth noting
• Masterson has never started against the Nationals, facing them only in a relief appearance in 2009, when he was with Boston. Washington center fielder Denard Span is most familiar with Masterson, going 7-for-28 (.250) with three doubles, a home run and a .382 on-base percentage during his days with the Twins.
• Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman had a two-run homer and an RBI double Thursday against the Rockies. It was the fifth time this season Zimmerman has driven in at least three runs in a game.

Korobeynikova is tall now, and she is 16 years old (born 12 apr 1996), so it's not very probable to grow much.
Kostner is even more tall, and her jumps before 22 years old were very good.
Korobeynikova's only problem is stability, if she will be more stable, she will become one of the best in the world.

One of the greatest NBA coaches ever, Pat Riley, and two of the best players in the game today, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, still couldn�t convince Baron Davis to sign with the Heat last December.
Davis already knew where he wanted to sign for the veteran�s minimum: the New York Knicks.
�I spoke to Pat Riley. D-Wade, LeBron, they texted me and asked me what was up,� Davis said. �But I pretty much knew I wanted to come here and play in the Garden and play in front of these fans and play for this organization. I always wanted to play here, so this was really like my first choice.�
James Plans on Guarding Jeremy Lin
February 23, 2012
Thursday could be the ultimate test for Jeremy Lin. Not because his Knicks will be taking on Miami Heat. But individually, because LeBron James, one of the best on-ball defenders in the game, says he�ll likely guard Lin some.
�I know I�m going to end up guarding Lin at some point,� LeBron told reporters Wednesday.
LeBron, as I�m sure you recall, switched to guard Derrick Rose for lage parts of the Eastern Conference Finals and essentially locked down the MVP. And while Jeremy Lin has had quite the start to his time in New York, he�s not Derrick Rose.

Typically done by prostitutes and crack whores. This means to remove a man's pants to his ankles and then run off with his money leaving him waddling after you like a penguin.
Man 1:"Dude, you got 5 bucks I can borrow?"

Oswald Chesterfield "Penguin" Cobblepot is a fictional character, a supervillain who appears in comic books published by DC Comics. He is known as one of Batman's oldest and most persistent enemies. Artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger introduced him in Detective Comics #58 (December 1941). The Penguin is a short, round man known for his love of birds and his specialized high-tech umbrellas. A mobster and thief, he fancies himself as being a "gentleman of crime;" his nightclub business provides a cover for criminal activity, which Batman sometimes uses as a source of criminal underworld information. According to Kane the character was inspired from the then advertising mascot of Kool cigarettes – a penguin with a top hat and cane. Finger thought the image of high-society gentlemen in tuxedos was reminiscent of emperor penguins.
The Penguin is a Gotham City crimelord with a deformed physical appearance who fights Batman. Despite the penguin-like appearance that led to his nickname, he is a ruthlessly cunning criminal genius operating out of his nightclub the Iceberg Lounge. Having dealt with mockery of his stature from an early age, he has dedicated himself to inspiring respect and fear through his exploits. His standard weapon is an umbrella with different gadgets lethal and otherwise hidden inside of it. He has been a member of the Injustice League, Secret Society of Super-Villains and Suicide Squad. Penguin was created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger, first appearing in Detective Comics #58. (1941)

When a girl gives a guy a blow job then pretends to swallow only to come up for a kiss and dump his load into his mouth. Much like a penguin feeds their young.

"I was sick of swallowing so I did The Penguin to him instead. Can you say in your face any louder?!?!"

Josh Smith scored 10 of his team-high 23 points in the third quarter to lead the Atlanta Hawks to a 95-86 victory over the Hornets on Tuesday night.
New Orleans was outscored 28-14 in the decisive period, turning a 50-44 halftime lead into a 72-64 deficit. The Hornets were 6-of-16 in the quarter, committed four turnovers and were outscored 6-0 in the final 2:22.
On Dec. 22, Indiana held the Hornets to seven points in the third quarter, resulting in an 81-75 loss.
"We just didn't put up much of a fight," Hornets coach Monty Williams said. "We just didn't have execution and didn't play with a lot of force tonight. Their bigs did a very good job of dominating the game.
The Hawks' frontcourt of Smith, Al Horford and Zaza Pachulia combined for 55 points, 26 rebounds, 10 assists, three steals and five blocked shots.
"We had a letdown in the first two quarters," Smith said. "I wanted to come out with energy and effort, so I was happy when I made some shots in the third quarter and was very efficient."
Kyle Korver added 14 points for Atlanta, which spoiled the homecoming of Hornets guard Eric Gordon.
Gordon, playing in his first home game this season, scored 11 points on 5-of-17 shooting. Gordon, who had spent most of the season recovering from a knee injury, made his season debut in a victory over Charlotte this past Saturday.
Ryan Anderson scored 23 points, Greivis Vasquez 17 and Robin Lopez 10 for the Hornets, who had won two of their past three. Vasquez, selected the NBA Player of the Week on Monday, recorded his eighth double-double of the season with 10 assists.
Gordon, logging 23 minutes, and was of 2-of-10 in the second half.
"I felt like I missed some shots I should have made," he said. "In the second half they did a good job keeping me from getting to the goal."
The Hornets' Anthony Davis struggled from the floor, making four of nine shots for nine points but had 12 rebounds and four blocked shots.
New Orleans also struggled from the free-throw line, going 4-of-12, the .333 percentage setting a franchise record.
The Hornets had defeated the Hawks in six of the past 10 meetings and appeared to be in control early, leading 21-10 late in the first quarter. But Atlanta closed on a 12-5 run with Vasquez and Lopez on the bench for the final three minutes, cutting the lead to 26-22.
In the fourth quarter, New Orleans twice cut the lead to two points, the last coming on Vasquez's free throw with 4:14 remaining. But Korver answered with a trey off of a Horford assist to put the Hawks up 87-82 with 3:57 left.
"I think everyone was waiting on (Gordon) to do something, be Superman," Williams said. "That's not what we're about. We're a team and I got to find a good rotation."
NOTES: Smith's 13 rebounds put him over the 5,000 mark for his career. ... Vasquez's nine rebounds left him one short of what would have been his second triple-double of the season. ... Atlanta has two days off before traveling to Detroit, the final leg of a three-game road trip.
