Operation Greenhouse took place on Enewetak Atoll at the Pacific Proving Grounds, with the aim of exploring methods for expanding the destructive capacity of nuclear weapons while reducing the amount of fissile material needed. There were four tests—above you see an image of the third of those, codenamed George. It occurred today (some sources say yesterday due to the time difference) in 1951.

In the photo above, department store manager Hillman Lee checks out a group of battered mannequins he had helped the U.S. government use in a nuclear test. The mannequins were placed inside House No. 1 at the Nevada Proving Grounds and subjected to the blast effects of the sixteen-kiloton shot codenamed Annie, which was part of Operation Upshot-Knothole. The images below show up on all sorts of websites identified with all sorts of tests, but these come from the Nevada Department of Energy website and are identified there as the actual House No. 1 that wasblown to smithereens along with Hillman's mannequins (those may seem in strangely good shape to you, but keep in mind that fiberglass melts at about 37,000°F, whereas human flesh burns at about 120°F and melts shortly thereafter).
For an interesting indication of the bizarro world some people lived in during the nuclear 1950s, consider this quote from Hillman concerning the use of mannequins (which, by the way, he dressed differently as a tribute to American individuality and choice): "The outcome of this test is unpredictable, but the results of the evaluation may be a powerful factor in deciding fashion trends in the years to come." That's right—he thought he could learn from the test how to make nuclear blast-resistant clothes, market them, and make money selling them. Kind of makes you wonder whether humans are simply destined to fail on this planet, doesn't it? Nuclear test Annie occurred at 5:20 a.m. today in 1953.
Note: We got an e-mail, and the question was whether the mannequin photo was really made after the test, or before. If the photo were larger you'd be able to see that the mannequins are, in fact, a bit battered. Of course, that raises the question of whether they're radioactive. Being the morbid guys we are, we did check historical records on Hillman Lee to see if maybe he developed health problems, but there's nothing on him. Presumably he made a fortune on his nuke resistant garments and retired to a life of quiet but comfortable obscurity. Or not.

Police Gazette editors hit the panic button with this November 1961 cover claiming the Soviets have a death ray bomb. For a mere twenty-five cents readers were able to acquire new nightmare material by reading about this superweapon, which in the story is called an n-bomb. They're of course referring to a neutron bomb, which by releasing deadly unshielded neutrons would minimize destruction and contamination of property but maximize human death. Not quite rays, so much as a wave emitted by a massive air burst, but still, the new element it brought to the nuclear party was wantonly scattered neutrons, so, okay—rays it is. It must have been a real stunner for Gazette's millions of readers to learn of this horrific weapon, but unless the Russian scientist who brainstormed it into existence was named Sam Cohen we have to call bullshit on this tall tale, for it was Samuel T. Cohen—an American physicist—who conceived and developed the neutron bomb.
many stories about Hitler living in bitter, defeated isolation in South America, here readers see happy Hitler, socializing during the 1930s with friends and compatriots. Next up, Gazette gives readers their fix of celebrity content with Rita Hayworth, who had been married five times and whose problem the editors are only too happy to diagnose—in their esteemed opinion she's just too wild to be tamed. And lastly, Gazette presses panic button number two by tying the nascent civil rights movement to communist agitation from overseas. This is a tabloid tale that was told often in the 1960s because, well, we don't know why exactly—presumably because who besides the puppets of foreign governments would ever deign to demand equal rights? Anyway, we have a few scans below, and an entire stack of early 1970s Gazettes we hope to get to soonish.

Today in 1966 France tested a nuclear bomb codenamed Rigel, a 150-kiloton device detonated on oft-blasted Fangataufa Atoll, and above you see a photo of the pyrocumulus debris cloud from that event. We're aware this is the third French nuclear test we've posted in a row, but we aren't singling them out—it's just that the French, artsy as they are, take such interesting photos, even of the horror that will one day bring about the end of civilization. But there's a silver lining to all this. When the scabby old men who have their fingers on the nuclear buttons finally unleash these terrible weapons, the male survivors roaming the frozen landscape of nuclear winter can take solace in the fact that genetic mutations will have made actual, authentic tri-boobed women the norm. As for any benefits for women, well, we figure humanity will have finally learned that males should not be—and should never have been—in control of anything important. Oh, and double penises. Plenty of those.

We shared an interesting photo of the French nuclear test Canopus a few years ago, and today we have another image showing the blast from many miles away. Even more than the numerous close quarters photos we've posted here, this really shows the titanic and awful power of the weapons that may eventually destroy us.

The Apache nuclear test, which was part of Operation Redwing, is one of the archetypal post-Hiroshima atomic images. We've even seen it described as beautiful. Based on pure aesthetics, perhaps that's true. But of late, global events have reminded many people that these weapons are still the number one threat to human life. In fact, the current state of geopolitics makes the use of nuclear weapons inevitable—i.e., all the nations that have them, such as the U.S., Russia, China and others, routinely break international law, while those that don't have them are routinely bullied and attacked. In such a two-tiered system, non-nuclear countries believe ultimate security can be derived from only one thing—the acquisition of nukes. It's a recipe for global failure. The Apache nuclear test occurred at Enewetak Atoll in the South Pacific today in 1956.

This debris cloud was generated yesterday in 1952 by the nuclear blast codenamed Dog, which was part of Operation Tumbler-Snapper, a series of tests that occurred at the Nevada Test Site that year. The people you see in the image are just a few of the 2,100 marines who observed the explosion. Last month Chatham House released a sobering nuclear study showing that there have been thirteen incidents since 1962 that qualify as "near use" of nuclear weapons. In two of those—the famed Oleg Penkovsky incident and the less famous but more serious Stanislaw Petrov incident—nuclear holocaust may have been averted only because individuals disobeyed orders. Chatham House also details many instances of "sloppy practice." Two examples: President Jimmy Carter once left the U.S. nuclear launch codes in a suit that was taken to the dry cleaners, and in 1981 when Ronald Reagan was shot, his bloody pants containing the launch codes ended up in the hands of FBI agents who had no authorization to possess them. There are instances of sloppy practice from as recently as 2013. If you're in the mood for some sobering reading, the report is here.

I STILL play this ****. Absolutely love it.
"Get him!"
Haha oh god, I remember playing this back when I still did mapping for Doom and Doom 2.
i think this is work with zdoom
It doesn't work with any new versions of ZDoom or Doomsday. Use Risen3D if you want to use a more modern source port or Marine's Best Friend if you want the Classic Doom feel.
If you load it though the game Action Doom 2 it loads the levels.
Batman in doom!
Does it work on zdoom or doom95? I have both.
I tried Doom 95 with no luck. I think I read somewhere that it didn't work with older version of zDoom either.
For all those looking for a place to get the mod (and check out some reviews), visit the following link:
My problem is fixed! But i dunno whut happened. Did i see right? whas it just for Mac?!?!!

The Urban Edge Apartment Living Blog
Musings on living in NYC... oh, and real estate too
on April 5th, 2013
Urban Edge is a FREE no fee apartment website. Apartments for rent are listed by the owners, property managers, and leasing agents. Many of them connect their database directly to ours, so you're not looking at listings that have already been rented.
Here's what you WON'T find: bait and switch ads, brokers pretending to be owners, the same apartment posted by 20 different agents, and scam postings. How, you ask, do we do that?
This is how: no one posts an apartment for rent without their account first being approved by our top notch staff, trained to sniff out evil-doers (and brokers charging a fee).
Nabes we cover: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island, Westchester County, Nassau County, Northern New Jersey (Hudson, Bergen and Essex Counties), and Fairfield County in CT.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Glen Mutel, campaignlive.co.uk, Friday, 27 June 2003 12:00AM
"Cog", said to have received only two votes, is thought to have been penalised for the controversy surrounding its similarity to the short film Der Lauf Der Dinge. Although the ad missed out on the Grand Prix, it won a gold Lion in the automotive category.
"Lamp" was created by the Miami-based Crispin Porter & Bogusky and directed by Spike Jonze, the man behind Hollywood films such as Being John Malkovich.
The other favourite for the main accolade, Euro RSCG MCM's "the sculptor" for Peugeot, took both a gold Lion and the Journalist's Award.
The president's Titanium Lion, awarded for the first time this year for groundbreaking multimedia work, went to Fallon Minneapolis and Optimedia New York for BMW's The Hire short film series.
TBWA/London's John Smith's campaign featuring the comedian Peter Kay defied expectations by winning a gold Lion. Although the campaign performed well in the UK, it was thought that it would prove too British for an international jury.
Bartle Bogle Hegarty's London office pulled in golds with its "fish" execution for Johnny Walker and the "fluent in finance" campaign for Barclays, which featured the Hollywood actor Samuel L Jackson. It also took a gold for its "ear tennis" execution for Microsoft Xbox.
Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO's "two things at once" road safety campaign for the Department for Transport won its second gold of the festival, having already taken one in the Press and Outdoor section. And Clemmow Hornby Inge scooped a gold for its Tango campaign.

Information / Sources, Las Vegas
19 Reviews
19 Reviews
Quick guide to the top clubs in Las Vegas and how they work on a Friday / Saturday night.
1. Are you a world famous celebrity ?
2. If female - look like a glamour model ?
3. If male - accompanied by at least two of No. 2 above ?
4. Finally, are you willing to slip the door staff $50 a head to get in ?
If you have answered yes to any of the above questions, Congratulations ! Move straight to the front of the queue and onto the dance floor. If not, hard luck and expect a lengthy wait like everyone else.
Free "VIP" passes can be found for most venues, but at best these will only get you free admission. DO NOT EXPECT TO QUEUE JUMP WITH THEM.
I bought some off a guy on Ebay (lasvegashookups - although his account has now been cancelled) for about $2 each, and all of them worked. Just be aware of the small print for date / time restrictions - and that if you search / ask about, you can probably find these passes for free once in Las Vegas.
Also, most of the passes in circulation are for the less popular venues on quieter (Thursday or Friday) nights. i.e. DO NOT EXPECT TO FIND A VIP PASS TO BODY ENGLISH ON SATURDAY NIGHT.
Entrance is also at the discretion of the door staff, and we were turned away from Studio54 with some, even though it clearly stated "FREE ADMISSION - ANY NIGHT". (We had blagged the guest list anyway so it didn't matter).
For guaranteed entrance (and especially if you're in an all male group) - I suggest using one of the VIP Guest services. Someone will meet you outside the venue and walks you in to a reserved table. Will be pricey though as each table requires bottle service - basically they make you buy a bottle of booze (up to $400) and then provide free glasses, mixers and ice all night - however it can prove cost effective for larger parties. Several companies offer this service with wildly differing costs - expect to pay about double the entrance fee + bottle service costs.
Dress Code: Las Vegas Nightclubs.Com Ranges from free guestlist places to full personal VIP Host escorted entry. (Line Pass+ Admission). After you see the queue in The Palms on a Saturday night you'll realise it was $40 well spent.

Vegas Resource Not much of a site - instead you sign up and they email you news letters. Only worth it if youre a Vegas regular, but interesting to find out what new hotels are about to be built / clubs opened etc.
Vegas is a nightlife city. In addition to the bars, clubs and casinos, there are shows for every budget (from the free entertainment to the very very expensive) and interest. The city has lots of adult themed shows and nightclubs, which is probably part of the reason why there are so many bachelor parties in town.
Since the closest I got to one of these shows was Zumanity, which had some nudity but was not risque adult entertainment, I'd suggest looking at 24/7, the free magazine provided to tourists. Every cab driver has copies in their cab and you can probably pick up a copy in stores or on the street as well.
One of the most interesting things about Las Vegas nightlife is that its really across the boards. The range of activities (gambling, eating, drinking, seeing a show, clubbing, etc.) is overwhelming. Like Vegas in general, there's some type of nightlife pursuit which will suit everyone.
Vegas is also unique in the range of opportunities to dress up or dress down. People in casinos wear shorts and tank tops feeding quarters into machines while men in suits walk past, along with a broad spectrum of attire on the various sighseers, club goers and everyone else.
So whether to dress up or not really depends on what you like to do or where you want to go. Some restaurants require it, as do the popular clubs, but everything else falls somewhere in between.
So, everywhere you look, there's a lot going on in Vega$. It's all so very entertaining as long as you don't think about it too much. The professionals working there help maintain the illusion with sweet and sexy ways.
Dress Code: Men: dress to impress
Women: skin is in

Any of the casinos are open 24 hours a day. If you want dancing or live bands most offer this too, in addition to shows almost every night. Las Vegas doesn't have hours and most clubs, restaurants and hotels are open whenever you want to go.
All the hotels have a theme - visit a tourist information centre and pick up a programme of events - there are a number of what's on guides given away on the street - but be aware some contain adult content
Dress Code: Normally anything goes which surprised me a bit - the classier hotels expect you to dress for dinner
I've bought the nightclub passes and STILL had to wait in line!! I think it depends on if the club is busy, what night it is, and what "celebrity" they have partying there that night. Seems like there is always some sketchy guy trying to bring us into "the best club." Was looking on youtube and found this iphone app thats supposed to help you get into the nightclubs...anyone tried it?

Dress Code: Dress as you like for the most part if you are just cruising The Strip or wandering the Casinos and shops. Most of the restaurants, even the high end will now accept patrons in most any garb (yes, I've seen torn jeans and t-***s in $200/plate restaurants), but in the higher end locations "dress" is considered a recommendation.
If you act like you can buy the place and are polite but not dressed you will probably get in however if you act like you "own it" without the manners, don't be surprised if you are less than cordially asked to remove your self from the premises.
If you're going to Vegas there are so many clubs to choose from.. Most hotels have clubs and bars inside their hotel or casino. There is usually something for everyone. Most clubs have dresscode, so dress fancy. No sneakers, often no jeans, no caps, no flipflops. Bring nice shoes, pants and a nice shirt with or without a jacket. Make an effort! Also it's easier to get in if you're in company with girls.
I had trouble buying alcoholic beverages because apparently Americans don't think I look a day older than 21.. even though I'm soon turning 26. So everywhere I went I was asked for ID. The only valid ID for foreigners is the passport and there's no way I'll go clubbing with my passport! It's definitely out of the question.. My boyfriend had a driver's liscense so it worked out okay, but I wouldn't be too positive that it's valid everywhere..
There are a handful of companies that employ photographers that go out and about to the hottest destinations in Vegas and take high quality photos and then post them on the company website for you to enjoy. To some, I'm sure, they love being photographed having some Vegas good-times, and I'm sure there are others that could use less evidence of their Vegas frolics. Either way, these websites are great tools to use to plan your Vegas nights out- they usually list A-Listers and celebrities attending the clubs on which nights- a great way to make sure you are in "the place to be" on your Vegas nights out. The best website in my opinion is Napkinnights.com, but there is also SpyonVegas.com, and a few other photog sites to help plan your night out...and then go back to and search out your party photos!
Dress Code: Dress to impress at any A-List event
I wouldn't say I have a favorite night spot in Vegas. But I would say that where ever you go it is going to be expensive so be prepared.I suggest you have a few free ones in the Casino first ,complements of your hotel.

The Starkville School District should have a list of semi-finalists — possibly even finalists — for the superintendent position sometime next week, school board President Keith Coble said Tuesday.
The school board narrowed down the list of 22 candidates during an executive session Tuesday night, though Coble could not confirm an exact number. The board president will submit the names to the Mississippi School Board Association today.
MSBA will handle contacting the candidates to confirm their spot as a semifinalist and perform the background checks. Once the candidates are confirmed and their background checks are cleared, the board will release a final number and a list of names to the public. Depending on the number, those candidates may be confirmed as finalists.
"We're going to start that process (Wednesday) and assuming we get that information back next week, we're going to call a meeting next week and we will declare our list of semi-finalists," Coble said. "Depending on how many names we get — and we're not sure yet — if we get down to a real short list, the logistics are easier than if its longer. We're probably going to talk about logistics in that next meeting as well, in terms of, can we do it all in a one-step process or is it going to be two steps? It depends on a number."
Coble said board members had a good discussion on the applicants and feel good about the candidates they've chosen so far.
"We could have gone deeper than we did, but it kind of fell out comfortably that we had a set of candidates that we wanted to look at. We want to move forward and not let them get away from us," he said. "People came in with different perceptions. People put different weights on different things that they were looking for, but in terms of coming up with who we were comfortable with, it wasn't that hard."
Once the list is confirmed, the board president said he'd like to see the interviews get started as soon as possible.
Coble said the board has decided to include some sort of public event, though the logistics of that event have not been confirmed.
"There's going to be a public aspect to this so the community can see the candidates, hear the candidates and give feedback," he said.

Disabled Veterans' Care:
Better Data and More Accountability Needed to Adequately Assess Care
HEHS-00-57: Published: Apr 21, 2000. Publicly Released: May 16, 2000.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) compliance with the requirements to maintain capacity and access for veterans with special disabilities, focusing on: (1) the accuracy of the conclusions in VA's fiscal year (FY) 1998 annual capacity report; and (2) challenges facing VA in managing its special disability programs.
GAO noted that: (1) VA concluded in its annual report for FY 1998 that it had maintained its capacity to treat veterans with special disabilities; (2) however, VA's data are not sufficient to support that conclusion because of extensive data problems, such as the use of unreliable proxy measures to identify veterans with special disabilities; (3) moreover, VA based its conclusion on national statistics that indicated more special disability veterans were served with fewer resources expended in 1998 than in 1996; (4) however, there is considerable variability among the Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISN), and, in fact, some VISNs reported serving fewer veterans; (5) in addition, VA attributes reduced expenditures and the use of fewer resources to efficiency gains--however, because it lacks outcome measures, VA cannot tell whether it has maintained, enhanced, or diminished quality of care; (6) VA faces challenges in maintaining its capacity to serve special disability populations; and (7) in particular, the lack of a single VA headquarters unit accountable for ensuring compliance with the capacity legislation may have caused delays in: (a) monitoring and investigating locations where capacity appears to have declined; and (b) fully implementing congressionally mandated performance standards for VA employees responsible for allocating and managing special disability program resources.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: VA created a position in the Office of Patient Care Services to serve as the national coordinator for special disability program activities. The person will work with field and headquarters' offices responsible for service delivery, data, quality, resource and reporting issues, and will serve to provide increased emphasis on VA's continuing efforts to better coordinate responsibilities among the various offices. In addition, each Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) designated their clinical manager as coordinator for special disability programs to work with the headquarters' coordinator.
Recommendation: To help ensure compliance with the law, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs should direct the Under Secretary for Health to assign lead responsibility to a headquarters unit for initiating efforts to monitor and determine the causes for apparent declines in capacity.
Agency Affected: Department of Veterans Affairs
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: VA has appointed a national coordinator for special disability program activities located in the Office of Patient Care Services. This coordinator has been assigned the task of ensuring that the job performance standards for employees who are responsible for allocating and managing the resources used to serve veterans with special disabilities are completed and implemented. Performance standards, related to the quality of care provided to special disability program patients have been implemented for VA's 22 network directors. In addition, performance standards related to the maintenance of capacity to treat all types of special disability program patients have also been implemented.
Recommendation: To help ensure compliance with the law, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs should direct the Under Secretary for Health to assign lead responsibility to a headquarters unit for developing job performance standards for employees who are responsible for allocating and managing the resources used to serve veterans with special disabilities.

dual external monitors attached to docking station - please help

dual external monitors attached to docking station - please help
let me start out by stating that this configuration worked previously using ubuntu 8.04. i just upgraded to 9.04 and neither the supplied drivers nor the latest official (180.51) work with the original configuration with or without tweaks. i'm basically giving up and hoping for some help. here is what i have:
compaq 8710p laptop with quadro nvs 320m (g84) with 1680x1050 display,
connected to hp docking station providing dvi and vga output.
i have two identical hp l1940t flat panel monitors, 1280x1024@60 native;
one is directly connected to the dvi port on the docking station,
one is connected to docking station vga port via kvm switch.
my goal is to use both monitors simultaneously (laptop lid closed, no need for built-in display). the nvidia driver seems to be mapping the displays as follows:
DFP-0 : laptop display
DFP-1 : external dvi
CRT-0 : external vga
on bootup, DFP-1 is the active screen. as soon as X starts, that goes black and CRT-0 becomes the display. in most cases, DFP-1 is not detected at all; the only way i've been able to utilize it is to force with ConnectedMonitor and UseDisplayDevice options. the best resolution i've seen appears to be 640x480 or so; any attempt at forcing the mode to 1280x1024 or 1024x768 results in the monitor turning itself off and the desktop being confined to CRT-0 (which can be made to use 1280x1024).
i'll attach the originally-working xorg.conf (from ubuntu 8.04) as well as the current config. currently CRT-0 is 1280x1024 and DFP-1 appears to be 640x480. both are quite ugly as i hacked quite a bit to get the end result.
any help / hand-holding / whatever that gets me to the goal would be_greatly_ appreciated!

Self-help books don't seem to work. Few of the many advantages of modern life seem capable of lifting our collective mood. Wealth--even if you can get it--doesn't necessarily lead to happiness. Romance, family life, and work often bring as much stress as joy. We can't even agree on what "happiness" means. So are we engaged in a futile pursuit? Or are we just going about it the wrong way?
Looking both east and west, in bulletins from the past and from far afield, Oliver Burkeman introduces us to an unusual group of people who share a single, surprising way of thinking about life. Whether experimental psychologists, terrorism experts, Buddhists, hardheaded business consultants, Greek philosophers, or modern-day gurus, they argue that in our personal lives, and in society at large, it's our constant effort to be happy that is making us miserable. And that there is an alternative path to happiness and success that involves embracing failure, pessimism, insecurity, and uncertainty--the very things we spend our lives trying to avoid. Thought-provoking, counterintuitive, and ultimately uplifting, "The Antidote "is the intelligent person's guide to understanding the much-misunderstood idea of happiness.
In his new book, Oliver Burkeman shuns motivational seminars and the power of positive thinking in favor of uncertainty, insecurity and even pessimism. "Trying to let [negative] feelings be and not always struggling to stamp them out is a more fruitful alternative," he says. More at NPR.org

Originally written on SteelerAddicts | Last updated 7/20/13
The Pittsburgh Steelers signed Jerricho Cotchery before the 2011 season to add another veteran presence to the receiving core. I thought the Steelers made a good decision to sign Cotchery and thought that he would end up helping the team at some point. Cotchery then missed some time during the season due to injury and ended up with 16 receptions for 237 yards and two touchdowns. Though once healthy, Cotchery looked to have the potential to become a factor in the Steelers' offense. His last reception of that season being a touchdown and coming in the heart wrenching defeat to the Denver Broncos in the playoffs. Going into the 2012 season, Cotchery was seen as the third receiver and at worst the fourth depending on how Emmanuel Sanders had developed. The team had just parted ways with Hines Ward in the offseason and Cotchery was the lone veteran with Mike Wallace, Antonio Brown and Sanders. Cotchery then ended up injured again for a portion of the season and was irrelevant in the off...

CitationShares Adds Programs, Cuts Staff
Business Jet Traveler » August 2009

Greenwich, Conn.-based CitationShares has announced partnerships with TerraPass, a retailer of carbon offsets, and Corporate Angel Network, a charity that arranges free flights to treatment for cancer patients. CitationShares customers can now donate flight hours to the charity and can balance their "carbon footprint" by purchasing carbon offsets from TerraPass for hours they fly.
Meanwhile, CitationShares has laid off 41 office staff and furloughed 52 pilots because, said CEO Steve O'Neill, the company had had "too much capacity." He added, however, that "the decline in selling and flight activity has begun to level off."

hey, hey, hey....
After 14 years in LA, I moved to NYC 3 years ago. Originally I'm from NJ, but I really think of LA as home. I'm honest, independent, passionate, affectionate, kind, sassy, well-mannered, curious, resourceful, sarcastic, and witty with a dry sense of humor. I am well-traveled. I love music, film, Broadway, Lincoln Center, Central Park picnics, Turner Classic Movies, and sitting at the bar to eat. I can dress up or dress down and I enjoy both equally. I laugh a lot, am completely down to earth and don't take myself too seriously. Right now I'm enjoying the energy and spontaneity that NY offers. I'm very social and have many friends, but I'm really ready to meet that one person I want at my side from this point on.

New Lotus Evora GTE vs the Stig
The most powerful road-going Lotus ever vs our tame racing driver
Posted: 12 Jul 2012
It never happens. The GTE eventually starts to understeer, and, if especially provoked, flare into brief drifty arcs, but it never really wants to showboat, or teach short but violent lessons in the physics of snap-back. The rear diff has a habit of gifting traction but pushing the nose, and throttle trimming does all you need to tidy up.
It promotes fast rather than furious, is calm, precise and - frankly - a surprise.
It is not, as you might have assumed by looking at it, particularly hard work. Quite reasonably, in my opinion, I had decided - before actually setting foot in one - that it would be vicious, hot, vein-pulsingly fast and about as forgiving as a landmine. Horror-movie adrenalin. That the engine would scream and make power in inaccessible strata. That the suspension would be that misguided concept of sporty that conflates fast with viciously rigid, and tries to underline hardcore credentials by punching your spinal column through the roof of your mouth when you run over a cat's eye. That the steering would be twitchier than a caffeinated gerbil, and that I would hate it completely for being none of the things I like, and then have to ham it up a bit, or risk sounding like James May.

Though I've referred to this as an Art Appreciation "text," it is by no means dry.The author's viewpoint and writing style are never boring and she continually exhibits great perceptiveness, and wit, in her commentary. The progression of the book's sections from a well-done "Introduction" to the "Language of Art," a look at the varying media of art, and finally a series of chapters on historical style, is well done and logical. Accolades to Fichner-Rathus!
The book takes you throughout the history of art, starting from the earliest forms, throughout the middle ages, native traditional art, to the renaissance, to post modernism, to surrealism, to art deco, bauhaus, dada, and everything else. There isn't a form of art that isn't covered and illustrated, which is extremely beneficial, as you truly do learn how art forms evolved throughout the years. Another benefit to this book is that it covers the different medias in art - sculpture, paintings, print, masks, archetecture, and more.
The photographs of the artwork are present throughout the book, and the text gives you insight and background knowledge of each art era that you wouldn't otherwise see. One might usually associate art history text as boring and monotonous, but this is not the case. The text is informative and exciting to read all at the same time.
It's a great book for someone who's starting out in art history, but even long-time art fans will enjoy it too.

For Sam Lui, coming home to an empty New York City apartment is still wrenching even after more than a decade. His son Ezra was abducted in 1999. Lui said Ezra's mother has since changed his son's name. The father said the e-mails he receives from his now 13-year-old son are typically requests for money and expensive gifts.
"There's no closure to this issue. It's not like as if someone died where you find the closure. There's no closure," Lui said. "My kid's been gone for 11 years. Do I have hatred for my ex-wife? Of course I do."
For all of the fathers' efforts to find and communicate with their children, many of their ex-wives are living openly in Japan.
It took ABC News less than 24 hours to locate Ryoko Uchiyama, a woman who is on the FBI's Most Wanted list for parental kidnapping, after she fled in 2006 to Japan with baby daughter Melissa, from the California home she shared with American Patrick Braden.
Uchiyama's mother confirmed over the house intercom at their front gate that Ryoko Uchiyama lived there, but said Ryoko was not home. She also confirmed that Melissa, who is now 5 years old and goes by the name Hinako, lived there as well. As ABC News was speaking with Uchiyama's mother via an interpreter, a little girl's voice was briefly heard calling for her grandmother over the intercom.
Ryoko Uchiyama's sister, Seiko Azuma, who lives within walking distance, told ABC News that there was a story to tell, but that she had to follow the wishes of her parents and remain silent.
South of Tokyo, in a more rural town in the Chiba prefecture, ABC News found the family of Reiko Nakata Greenburg Collins, who is also listed on the FBI's Most Wanted list for the 2008 kidnapping of Keisuke Collins, now 7 years old. They declined to comment.
A neighbor confirmed that Nakata and Keisuke had moved from the family home in a suburb west of Tokyo, but returned for visits.
When local police were called to investigate ABC News' filming in the neighborhood, they were shown a copy of Nakata's wanted poster and Keisuke's abduction poster. When asked whether they would do anything about it, they said no -- that Nakata, despite an active federal U.S. arrest warrant, was not violating Japanese law.
Keisuke's father, Randy Collins, who has not seen or heard from his son since Nakata disappeared with him from their southern California home, called on President Obama to get involved.
"He took an oath to protect the citizens of this country. Why are our children not a priority to you?" he asked. "Please explain to me why my son doesn't mean anything to you."
For Braden, who also hasn't seen even a picture of his daughter since her abduction, the solution starts on U.S. soil.
"If we can break the back of this issue by enforcing the laws that are broken by Japanese citizens on U.S. soil and returning those citizens to face justice … it can be very simple," he said. "And that will open the floodgate to resolve every single case and it will help worldwide."
Though several of the fathers admitted to fleeting moments where they considered hopping on a plane to Japan and getting their children back, only one has tried it -- and failed.
Christopher Savoie, whose children were abducted by his ex-wife Noriko in 2009, was arrested by Japanese police as he tried to take Rebecca, now 8, and Isaac, 10, to an American consulate in southern Japan.

Various things that help Fallout 3 to avoid crashes on windows vista.
VC++ 2005 x64 Package (only for vista x64 users)
My notes, derived from list below and some other things I've done:
Reinstall your PC's .net 3.0 distribution by going into Programs and Features, clicking Turn Windows Features On or Off, and then unchecking the .net 3.0 box. After closing the panel and allowing it to complete, do the same thing and recheck the box. Fallout 3 installs a BETA version of .net 3.0 which is not stable. Reinstalling gets it off your system.
In relation to the above note - it also helps to completely uninstall .net framework v3.5 from your PC (and leave it uninstalled as long as you want to play Fallout 3). It does not appear to be compatible with fallout 3, and will generate crashes even when .net 3.0 is installed correctly. If you have programs you need to use that require .net 3.5, the only workaround I can think of is to keep the redistributable package on your hard drive and reinstall it whenever you need to use those programs.
Reinstall your PC's visual C++ 2005 redistributables, both x86 and x64 if you are running windows vista x64. Link to the redistributables on the sidebar. Same reason as above - Fallout 3 uses a BETA version of the VC++ redist which is not stable. Reinstalling it gets it off your system.
Reset your controls to default at the game's main menu and get used to playing it like that. Curiously, many people have reported that this stops some crashes to desktop. No logical reason, just seems to work.
It helps whether you own an ATI or nvidia graphics card to set your desktop resolution to the same resolution as you play the game in. For whatever reason Fallout 3 doesn't much like running in especially higher resolutions than the desktop.
In FALLOUT.INI (located in Documents / My Games / Fallout3) find bUseThreadedAI=0, and change it to bUseThreadedAI=1. As well, add a new line below it that reads iNumHWThreads=2 . By default Fallout 3 tries to run as many threads as you have cores since it's a multithreaded game, but quite often has a tendency to hard lock on CPUs with more than 2 cores (eg. Phenom II X3, X4, Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Extreme, Core i7)
An addendum to the above - even with this fix applied, having a quad core CPU in my PC causes crashes (confirmed by the use of a dual core CPU - crashes disappeared). The workaround is to use msconfig (click start, type msconfig into the search box, press enter), click on the Boot tab, click advanced options, check off "Number of processors:", and select 2, apply the change, then reboot. When you're done with fallout 3, do the same in reverse (uncheck "Number of processors:") and reboot again to use your extra cores.
In the compatibility options for the actual fallout3.exe file, select run in compatibility mode for Windows 2000, and check Disable Desktop Composition. Click Apply. Many people report that this helps, but compatibility with XP SP2 actually causes more problems, so they selected 2000 and it worked.
In your Steam options (if you use Steam), disable the in-game overlay. I suspect it's not fully compatible with the Windows Live overlay.
If you have any codec packages AT ALL installed, including those that may have come with a third party media player (such as winamp or anything used to play audio / video other than Windows Media Player), uninstall them. Fallout 3's internal MP3 codec appears to be much more stable when there simply isn't any other codecs present. Unfortunately, this means you'll have to watch your media on another PC, at least as long as you want to play Fallout 3.
Make sure the latest graphics drivers for your graphics card(s) are installed. Links at side. Reasons are fairly obvious (fix bugs in the actual gfx drivers).
Quote copied from a forum somewhere:
I have found the primary issues causing the CTD and other crashes. I've sent 3 e-mails
1.) Fallout 3 Installer installs an older version on C++ Visual 2005 that appears to
2.) Fallout 3 Installer installs a Beta release of DOTNETFX3.0 (.NET Framework 3.0). For
3.) Fallout 3 Installer installs a non Plug'n Play DRM device manager (not driver but a
4. Fallout 3 Installer installs SecuROM Root kit as well as 8 hidden non Plug'n play
5.) Fallout 3 also has its own built in MP3 codec coupled to its DRM to protect MP3's on
6.) Fallout 3 has 14 memory leaks that we found. Most are small, but there are a few that
7.) Fallout 3 video graphics buffer needs to be adjustable in the options and an automatic
8.) Most games were fault free with a basic XP Pro SP2 reload, and only Critical updates
Hopefully, Bethesda will address the issues more than 100,000 people are having.

Heated Performance Pinnacle Gloves with PrimaLoft
Recently, my husband has been plagued by cold sensitivity in his fingers. This winter has been a cold one, and being out and about in ordinary gloves has become very uncomfortable. In fact, some of our trips have been cut short due to his cold fingers (especially thumbs). It had gotten so restricting to our activities, that I suggested he try heated gloves. Gloves in his size (2XL) are not easy to come by, especially high performance winter gloves, but eventually I found a pair of Cabela's Heated… Full review

The Cabela's Dry-Plus MXP pants are lightweight, waterproof, and breathable, and work equally well as rain pants or an outer shell for snow sports.

DETROIT — There was no turning back the clock this time for Bronco McKart.
Father Time caught up with the Monroe middleweight Friday night as he lost to unbeaten Tony Harrison of Detroit in a fight that was stopped at 1:32 of the first round at the Cobo Center in downtown Detroit.
McKart went down to the canvas three times in the opening round before the referee called the World Boxing Union middleweight championship bout. Two of the falls appeared to be slips.
He came out like a football player hitting a tackling dummy, hitting Harrison with a series of body shots. But after getting hit early, McKart seemed off balance and couldn't stay on his feet.
Nearly 20 years separated the former WBO world champion and the young fighter Emmanuel Steward said could become another Floyd Mayweather.
The main event at Showdown 4 Motown 4 was scheduled for 10 rounds.

The course shows how to use Git, the popular open-source version control software, to manage changes to source code and text files. Using a step-by-step approach, author Kevin Skoglund presents the commands that enable efficient code management and reveals the fundamental concepts behind version control systems and the Git architecture. Discover how to track changes to files in a repository, review previous edits, and compare versions of a file; create branches to test new ideas without altering the main project; and merge those changes into the project if they work out. The course begins by demonstrating version control in a single-user, standalone context, before exploring how remote repositories allow users to collaborate on projects effectively.
In the previous movie we saw how we can use the amend option with commit in order to edit our very last commit, the commit that the HEAD still points to. We also saw how it's difficult to amend older commits, because that would violate the data integrity, which is an important feature of Git. Instead, if we need to make changes to those older commits, the best advice is to make new commits, commits that undo what was done in those older commits. Not only does it maintain the data integrity of Git, but then the log file also accurately reflects the changes that were made over time, and it shows that a 1.1 change was made and then several commits later another commit was made.
That information might actually have some importance, especially if the commits in between played off of those changes in any way. Now, what it doesn't do is allow us to hide our mistakes. Instead, you'll just have to record the mistake you made and then record the fix that goes with it. In order to make new commits that undo changes, there's a number of different ways that we could do it, one would be we could simply manually make those changes just like we did the first time and then commit the result. But I want to show you another way that we can do it that's a little bit faster too.
Let's take a look at our git log, and let's take a look at this last commit that we made. Now we could use amend to just edit this commit. But this is the one where we change our resources.html file. We rearrange the items that we're going to list there. Let's say we made two or three more commit since then and we wanted to go back and we wanted to rework this file and get it back to its old state. What we can do is we can check out this file, check out the old version of resources.html from before you made that change.
So, if the change was made in this commit, then the commit that has the version previous to that is this version, and probably all the versions that are before. But we'll take the one that's immediately before. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to copy part of this S-H-A at the top. Now, you could take the whole thing, but it's not necessary, these numbers are unique enough that you can usually just grab the first 10 or so characters and copy those and use those for a reference. And then I'm going to say git checkout, I'm going to use that reference to the commit that I want followed by a dash, dash, that's that bare double dash that we used before with checkout to let it know that we're not talking about a branch, we mean the current branch, and then the file that I mean, resources.html.
So now I've told it to check that out. Let's take a look at git status, and you'll see that it moved it into my index. So I've checked it out and here it is ready to be committed. Now, this behavior is slightly different. Before when I did a check out, it put up my working directory. Here it went ahead and put up my staging index. When you check it out from our particular revision, it puts it into your staging area. Now, if we do git diff --staged, we can see the comparison, and we can see that this is the old file, the old version, and if we were to commit it, it would revert those changes.
It would change it so that sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent move from the top back down to the bottom where they were originally. So there it is ready to be committed, I can just do a regular commit now, and it will undo that change that I made previously. It's a good habit when you're reverting a particular commit to actually refer to the SHA for that commit. So, it would be a good idea to take part of the SHA and copy it and then say this commit reverts commit, and give that SHA, so it's a reference.
So people can look it up and figure out what you were trying to revert. We could go ahead and commit that, but I'm going to instead bring up the status again. Let's do git reset HEAD on resources.html. That will put it back in our working directory, and then we'll do git check out -- resources.html, and that now removes it from our working directory so that now our working directory is clean. And the reason I don't want to do it here is because in the next movie, I'm going to show you how we can use a command called git revert to do something very similar.
