This dinosaur looks like some taxidermist is trying to pull a fast one, but it's a model of what scientists think Pegomastax africanus may have looked like. And it's tiny -only about two feet long. You'd hate to get nipped with those teeth!
Covered in porcupine-like quills and sporting a blunt, parrot-like beak, P. africanus would've looked like a "strange little bird," said Sereno, a paleontologist with the University of Chicago.
But its fangs, Sereno argues, were more like those of the piglike peccary (picture) or fanged deer, or water chevrotain (video)—modern-day, plant-eating mammals that use their teeth for self-defense and foraging.
The species, he added, would have lived along forested rivers in southern Africa around the time the supercontinent Pangaea had just begun to split into the northern and southern landmasses.

An unnamed bride sent a group email to her best friends, laying out the requirements for those who decide they want to be one of her bridesmaids. It's quite extensive. You get the feeling that she's already put way more thought and effort into the perfect wedding day than she's put into the marriage itself -and the wedding isn't until August of 2013! Here's an excerpt:
A few girls live out of town so if there is going to be a problem with coming to either one then I need to know now because after this week I don't want to be surprised. I would like everyone to send me any dates they are going away or planning to go away after February so if your going away in January I don't care. I want any dates from February to the day of our wedding in August, that way we know not to plan something when your away. But after this week the dates are set in stone. Also if money is tight and you cant afford to contribute to say the bachelorette party or wont be able to afford a dress etc then L— and Myself don't have time to deal with that, I'm sorry. This includes flights as well, everyone knows the states where the parties are going to be held so if you wont be able to afford a flight then that means you cant make a party which ultimately means I cant have you as a bridesmaid. Obviously we'll get the best deals and were not gonna books flights for $1000 and shit that's why were doing this in advance, that goes for bridesmaids dresses as well everything will be affordable but if you think by affordable its going to be a $25 forever 21 dress then your going to the wrong wedding.
Oh, but that's just a small part of it. You can read the entire email at Gawker. Link -via Uproxx
Neatorama presents a guest post from actor, comedian, and voiceover artist Eddie Deezen. Visit Eddie at his website.
Humphrey Bogart appeared in some 75 movies during his legendary career from 1930 to 1957. He is, in my own opinion, the greatest actor in motion picture history. His performances in Casablanca, Beat the Devil, The Maltese Falcon, The African Queen, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, and dozens of others are brilliant, unique, and unsurpassed. My favorite Bogart film is definitely Key Largo (1948).
Today, I think only the great Jack Nicholson and maybe Robert De Niro can ever approach Bogart's greatness as a film actor. One of the many things that made Bogart so great was his incredible ability to play both a very ethical, upright, honest "good guy" and a craven, unethical, immoral "bad guy."
Probably the single most asked question regarding Humphrey Bogart is "Why did he talk that way?" Bogart had a trademark lisping way of speaking, caused by a scarred-up area of his mouth.
The stories of just how Bogart got his trademark lisp number about a half-dozen. The first is that he got the lip scars from a beating his father, the very strict Belmont Bogart, gave him as a child. Supposedly this walloping occurred when he was a young boy. "Because his dad beat him" is the explanation Darwin Porter uses in his excellent biography The Secret Life of Humphrey Bogart.
Later, Bogart told his friend David Niven that his lip scars were caused by "a childhood accident." Was Bogart trying to cover up for his father when he gave this obtuse explanation? Another version of the lisp cause is that Bogart caught a large wooden splinter in his lip at the age of 12.
Astronomers have discovered a new comet that should be visible from Earth in 2013, and shine even brighter than a full moon at its peak!
The new comet, named C/2012 S1 (ISON) was found by the International Scientific Optical Network (ISON) in Russia on 21 September when astronomers Vitali Nevski and Artyom Novichonok captured it on CCD images taken through a 0.4-metre reflector. Its near-parabolic orbit suggests that it has arrived fresh from the Oort Cloud, a vast zone of icy objects orbiting the Sun, pristine remnants of the formation of the Solar System.
C/2012 S1 currently resides in the northwestern corner of Cancer. At magnitude +18 it is too dim to be seen visually but it will be within the reach of experienced amateur astronomers with CCD equipment in the coming months as it brightens. It is expected to reach binocular visibility by late summer 2013 and a naked eye object in early November of that year. Northern hemisphere observers are highly favoured. Following its peak brightness in late November it will remain visible without optical aid until mid-January 2014.
Better write those dates down when you get your new calendars for 2013. Read more about the comet at Astronomy Now. Link -via Metafilter

The stacking properties of toroids that reflect radiation in the 1.8 to 2.8 eV energy range is investigated. Preliminary results indicate that in the optimal configuration the toroids are oriented vertically with those reflecting lower energy photons having larger gravitational potential energies for toroids of equal mass. The ambiguousness of this solution is tested by experiments performed by a relatively inexperienced researcher (t= 0.9167 yr). These experiments indicate that alternate solutions can be found.
1. Introduction
The significance of toroidal stacking properties in the present society should not be underestimated. A plurality of localities in which dwell immature Homo sapiens contain educational implements consisting of conic surfaces that can be combined with multiple toroids to produce coherent structures. The number of toroids per conic surface is usually five, and there is often an anticorrelation between toroidal radius and the mean energy of photons reflected by each torus.
In this paper, we report on the results of a study of toroidal stacking properties by independent groups. Two of us (ERS and CVC) are experienced researchers, while one of us (EAS) is a relatively inexperienced researcher, having an age of 0.9167 yr at the time the study was performed.
2. Description of Experimental Apparatus
The experimental apparatus consists of six components: A solid with a circular base and a plane curve tapering uniformly towards a vertex, which has a mean reflected photon energy of 2.18 eV, and five toroids of different radii having mean reflected photon energies of 2.76, 2.43, 2.18, 1.97, and 1.80 eV. The experimental aparatus is shown in Figure 1 :
3. Description of Experiment 1
In the first experiment, two of us (ERS and CVC) together attempted to determine the optimal toroidal stacking configuration. It was found that in the most advantageous mode the toroids are arranged in a vertical orientation with those reflecting lower energy photons having larger gravitational potential energies for toroids of equal mass. This solution is listed in column 2 of Table 1.
Pharmaceutical companies often have difficulty enrolling enough volunteers for drug trials in the U.S. and in Europe, but there's a place where volunteers are plentiful: Russia. It's a move of convenience, as authorities see the shortage of health care providers in that country, doctors are stretched thin, and patients cannot afford treatment any other way.
In fact, under a law passed in 2010, ostensibly on health grounds, foreign drug companies must test medicine on Russians for it to be marketed in Russia.
The law has the effect of compelling investment in clinical testing on Russians, trade groups say. And it is working. The number of drugs tested on Russians has shot up over the last year. Russian regulators approved 448 clinical trials in the first six months of 2012, compared to 201 in the same period a year earlier — an increase of 96 percent.
Russia is not alone in opening the doors of hospitals in the national health system to drug companies looking for test subjects, in a quid pro quo with the international industry that conducts tests globally for a better demographic representation.
Testing in Russia is a net benefit to public health, pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into diagnostic work and doctor care that would not have been here otherwise. Much of the business swirls around lower-risk testing of generic replacements for brand-name drugs.
In the U.S., the line between "experiment" and "treatment" is much more broadly drawn. But the Russians seem to be resigned to the way things are. One volunteer gave the article a punch line:
"Why not? I take risks every day," Mr. Maksimov said, noting that he recently flew on a Russian-made airplane.

Two baby gorillas were rescued from poachers in separate incidents in September in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and are being cared for at a shelter in Virunga National Park. Isangi is about nine months old, and Baraka is around five months old. The gorillas are being fed human formula, and steps are taken to ensure they don't catch any human diseases.
"Gorilla mothers are very attentive toward their babies," Eddy Kambale said. "The mothers feed them, sleep with them, carry them on their chest or back, groom and clean them, watch them, and protect them against predators, and even rain, at all times."
In the sanctuary, the orphans spend time outside in the forest yard, but mostly their caretakers carry them, as their mothers would. The caretakers use gorilla vocalizations to calm the infants.
"If no one will try to imitate their mothers' behaviors, the infant gorillas can shortly die from stress, as they are very fragile," Kambale said.
When they are deemed healthy enough, the gorillas will be taken to the sanctuary GRACE (Gorilla Conservation and Rehabilitation Education Center), which is operated by the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International. There, they will be integrated into a gorilla family in preparation for eventual release. See lots more pictures at National Geographic News. Link -Thanks, Marilyn Terrell!

On a list of the 15 heaviest coffee-drinking professions, mine only came in fourth. Scientists and lab technicians are at the top, drinking more coffee than writers, doctors, teachers, and everyone else.
Among those polled, scientists and lab techs were found to be the heaviest coffee drinkers in the country. Anyone who works, or has worked, in science will likely find this result unsurprising. Science, after all, is a 24-hour job. Experiments often run on timelines that are in every way at odds with the circadian rhythms of a normal human being — or any other creature, for that matter. Many scientists work under crushing pressure to publish results before competing labs or research groups. Limited funding requires researchers to put in countless hours writing grant proposals when they could be doing science. (It's not that they're writing grants instead of doing science, by the way. They're writing grants and doing science.)
Not only do scientists do research, but they also research how much research is being done, how much coffee they drink doing it, and how to drink coffee more efficiency. See the rest of the list at io9. Link

There's something about typing your thoughts on the internet that makes some perfectly nice people act like jerks. It's not just the anonymity, because even on social networking sites where our identities are displayed to our contacts, arguments often devolve into name calling and bullying.
According to soon-to-be-published research from professors at Columbia University and the University of Pittsburgh, browsing Facebook lowers our self control. The effect is most pronounced with people whose Facebook networks were made up of close friends, the researchers say.
Most of us present an enhanced image of ourselves on Facebook. This positive image—and the encouragement we get, in the form of "likes"—boosts our self-esteem. And when we have an inflated sense of self, we tend to exhibit poor self-control.
"Think of it as a licensing effect: You feel good about yourself so you feel a sense of entitlement," says Keith Wilcox, assistant professor of marketing at Columbia Business School and co-author of the study. "And you want to protect that enhanced view, which might be why people are lashing out so strongly at others who don't share their opinions." These types of behavior—poor self control, inflated sense of self—"are often displayed by people impaired by alcohol," he adds.
MIT professor Sherry Turkle says we often forget that when we comment online we don't feel as if we are talking to real people, but when we receive such thoughtless comments, we take it doubly hard.
And for Facebook, its very name is part of the problem. "It promises us a face and a place where we are going to have friends," says Dr. Turkle, author of the book "Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other." "If you get something hurtful there, you're not prepared. You feel doubly affronted, so you strike back."

DOD Deploys First GHG Management System At Army Base
The U.S. Army has implemented its first real-time GHG reporting and management system at a military base — Fort Carson, in Colorado.
Developed in conjunction with National Defense Center for Energy and Environment, Enviance, an environmental health and safety software firm, says the system allows Ft. Carson to monitor, measure and track emissions from internal facilities, military vehicles, and various remote activities.
The system allows Ft. Carson to set targets and support an Executive order that mandates 30-percent reductions in energy use and GHG emissions by 2015, Enviance says.

AACN Applauds the VA's Proposal that Supports APRN Practice and Veteran Access to Care
Today, AACN applauds the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Veterans Health Administration (VHA) for issuing a proposed rule that would allow Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) to practice to the full extent of their education and training within VHA facilities. This landmark action underscores the important role APRNs play in providing safe, high-quality care across all settings. AACN, together with its colleagues in the APRN and nursing community, have been advocating for over three years to move this change forward. With over 8.7 million Veterans seeking care in more than 1,700 VHA care sites each year, full utilization of healthcare providers— including APRNs—is a necessity.
The Arnold P. Gold Foundation Renews Commitment to Funding White Coat Ceremonies at AACN Member Schools of Nursing

I've seldom, if ever, negotiated a separation or settled an employment dispute for an employer without insisting that the signed agreement include a nondisparagement clause. The reasoning is simple—it's not in a company's best interest to have a former employee running around bad-mouthing it or trashing its reputation.
The reality, however, is that a clause in a contract is only as good as one's ability to enforce it after it has been breached.
That's not as easy as it once was. In Ohio Education Assn. v. Lopez, an Ohio appellate court has removed a good deal of the bite from nondisparagement clauses in separation and settlement agreements.
A fateful phone call
The facts of Lopez are straightforward. When the Ohio Education Association (OEA) asked for the resignation of Christopher A. Lopez, its assistant executive director and general counsel, it offered Lopez a severance agreement, which he accepted. The agreement containe...(register to read more)

It's back....and this time it's personal! Join us as we hit the ice for an epic battle of Broomball on
February 16, 2014 at the Galleria of Dallas.
For those that don't know, Broomball was invented by Canadians for some "in your face action" but you may like Wikipedia's definition a tad better: "Players hit a small ball around the ice with a stick called a "broom." The broom may have a wooden or aluminum shaft and has a rubber-molded triangular head similar in shape to that of a regular broom. Players wear rubber-soled shoes instead of skates, and the ice is prepared in such a way that it is smooth and dry to improve traction." "A typical game of broomball is broken up into two or three periods. The object of the game is to score goals into your opponent's goal/net. The team with the most goals at the end of a game is declared the winner. In some tournaments, if the scores are tied after regular time, an additional overtime period is played to determine a winner. In the overtime period (in most cases), six players, three on each team, play five minutes without a goalie. The team to score more goals in the overtime period is declared the winner. In the event of another tie, a second overtime period may be played. In some games a shootout period will be played. The shooter has the choice to have the ball placed a specified distance from the net or, like in hockey, can play the ball from center ice."
This will be our third year doing this, and it's always been a highlight of our meetup. It's fun, exhausting and just slightly dangerous. Although this event is capped at 24 people I always encourage anyone to come out and watch the fun. We'll head out and grab a bite afterwards.
PLEASE BRING: For those planning on attending , you will need to bring:
Tennis Shoes (Rubber Soles)
Comfortable Clothes
Water (optional)
Shin Guards/Knee Pads/etc (Optional)
RSVP: A non-refundable* payment of $15.00 / per person is required immediately following your RSVP of 'YES' to this event via our Acceptable Payment Options . This $15.00 will give you 60 minutes of ice time and the usage of their equipment.
Please arrive between 7:15 - 7:30 , we will be starting promptly at 7:45.
PARKING: Even though you're free to park anywhere surrounding the mall , I would highly recommend parking near mall entrances and not department store entrances since they will close their doors around 6:10 If you have any questions let me know. I hope to see you on the ice!
Thanks for an awesome time guys! I'm home cleaning my wounds lol

The subliminal message regarding Memphis, as the town of emphasis, has been established through the game of tennis. It is no accident that the Wimbledon Tennis Tournament is located in Britain. The home of the royals, who are the foundational roots of the royalty of American politics. Tennis originated in England in the early 19th century. Today, the Grand Slam of 4 major tournaments are played out as the Australian Open, the US Open, the French Open and Wimbledon.
The words GRAND SLAM mean (substitute the G for a Y or EYE) EYE RAIN DEATH or I REIGN DEATH joined with SLAM which is I-SLAM. The letter S always refers to ISIS, the fertility river water goddess. Therefore SLAM is IS-LAM, or the religion of ISLAM, the ICE LAMB which is being used by the elite of the world to bring in the new age of the messianic order. The word Grand can be shortened to simpling meaning EYE, as all 3 components, the G (eye), the RAN (light ray, rain, or reign), and the D (the all seeing eye of death), all refer to the eye. Therefore, Grand Slam is a hypnotic suggestion for the term Islam.
From a rational perspective this is sheer lunacy to contemplate anything this way. If you're attempting to establish yourself as the great ruler god of the world through subliminal messaging, then this makes a ton of sense.
Memphis Tennessee is a subliminal meaning Emphasis, Ten Isis, or in rational terms, seismic emphasis has been implanted through the game of tennis, the game of luv. Luv is love, the game of sex ritual sacrifice. The score in this game is measured in Luv or Love. 15, the number of the deity. 30, the number of the christ/antichrist. 40, the number of the foursquare foundation that the church of deception and the double cross was built upon. Only now, in the game of tennis, the intensity number 0 is included with the number 4. The number 4 and 40 both coincide with 4 on the 1st and 4th clockface, once again establishing the subliminal of a new world order with the number 1 and the foundation it stands upon with the number 4.
LUV = LOVE, the game of love, refers to the time when the marriage supper of the lamb is completed, and Mother Mary, (the Mare or Sea), marries her son, Jesus, (or Hey-Zeus), as the Gulf of Zeus (Suez), and the River of Isis (Mississippi) merge as one. Killing the masses is so erotic and sweet to the Bush/Clinton royal bloodline.
The Sea Nile term is no accident, and is repeated endlessly in our culture. To be senile, is to have the infirmity of old age. Geographically however, the term senile speaks of a river valley, etc., reaching the end of an erosion cycle, called senility. The name Clinton is referring to the end of a cycle, the end of an age, or more to the point, the end of an AGENDA.
The 11 states immediately west of the Mississippi represent the number of death. As do the 11 states of the western-most states. These 11 states immediately west of the Mississippi are called Tornado Alley. This includes the state of Kansas. Barack Obama, the other Democratic candidate seeking to take the Democratic ticket, is originally from Kansas. The close fought battle between these two candidates was designed to focus attention on their home states of Arkansas and Kansas. These states are part of Tornado Alley, and on previous pages it's been demonstrated that Tornado Alley coincides with the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem. The Wailing Wall is just outside the temple courtyard where Solomon's Temple is said to have originally stood. This Wall is as close as the Jewish faithful can get to Mount Moriah that lies under the Islamic Dome of the Rock, and was the location of the Holy of Holies of Solomon's Temple. Mount Moriah in Jerusalem is symbolized by the elite luciferian name Moriah Conquering Wind, and Tornado Alley references this notion.
The 11 western United States symbolize that Rock called Mount Moriah, the Rock of Judgment. The 11 Tornado Alley states symbolize the Wailing Walland also inspire the name Moriah Conquering Wind, another alias that the illuminati brotherhood go by. Mount Moriah was a threshing floor rock, where the grain is separated from the chaff, by the wind. That wind is Moriah Conquering Wind, symbolically fulfilled by the Tornado Alley states, whose recent record tornados, (even in the middle of winter, and out of season), have coincided with the Democratic primaries. Not only tornados, but record blizzards and floods, all originating in Tornado Alley. The Wind of Moriah is separating the grain from the chaff in preparation for the coming feast at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Moriah Conquering Wind is conquering the minds of humanity as all are herded into sun god worship under the guise and deception of environmentalism and the green movement. We're manipulated to believe that we must clean up the earth, the water and the air. These 3 parts of the environment are the holy trinity of Egyptian sun god worship. How useless to think that a clean environment can ever be attained when it's very foundation is built upon corruption and lies. The corruption and lies are the thoughts, and thinking process of the luciferian egregore who conjured up energy, light and the whole 3 dimensional space of air, water and earth.
The Wailing Wall gets its name from Old Testament scriptures, (more subliminal messages), where Rachel is found 'weeping for her children' and could not be comforted. Rachel is weeping at the Wailing Wall, the 11 Tornado Alley states, for the sacrifice that the luciferian lord is attempting to fulfill on the Rock of Judgment. The Rock of Judgment is symbolized by the 11 western United States.

Just want to add that I actually got me a sony Tablet... this turned out to be a big hit in regards to WAF.
DNLA support on the backend and the streaming all recorded material in super quality audio and video.
Only 3 things to be mentioned are:
1) no info on "what have I already watched"
2) HD material lags bigtime over wifi
3) viewing content that is being recorded as you watch it it not possible. When opening the file for viewing it - is in some way - limited to the length of the file at the point of opening it. I.e. a recording is 10 min. into the show when opening it and the dlna client sees it as only being 10 min. long and then stops.
I'm interested in the quad-core that Nvidia is coming out with. Also the new android OS ice cream sandwich.
There have been some interesting discussions about this on the mailing list recently, including:
Bubbleupnp with vplayer works for me, as does plex (althoug the android plex player costs a small amount of money, not a huge amount though.
I did my research, knew what I wanted and when I found it, I bought it... Having owned an Android tablets for a couple of years was helpful, the stuff I learned in this forum was helpful, and taking my time was helpful.
Probably the biggest issue with the Android Tablets are companies that are out to make the quick buck, they have low prices on tablets that are not certified for the Android Marketplace, that's a killer.
If you do spend the money, from what I have seen, you get a good product.
My ESPOW bought tablet pc which comes with a 10.1" capacitive multi-touch screen with a resolution of 1024*600, a Android 2.3 OS and 1.2GHz CPU, a 512MB memory and 4GB flash, two cameras including 0.3MP front camera&2.0MP back camera, supports for WiFi, 3G and Bluetooth.
Can it use XP?

If anyone is looking for a fairly decent tablet at a good price, try the Vizio tablet. It has a smaller screen, but for less than $200 USD, it is affordable for most of us. There is a local business where I live that sells Vizio TV's and other refurbished items, and they cannot keep the Vizio tablets in stock. They are flying off the shelves, and they have not seen any returns.
Locally they sell for about $230 USD, but I have seen Overstock.com selling them for $189 with a free case.

I've read a couple of DeLillo novels and found them barely penetrable. There's something about the way he strings sentences together that confuses me. Each sentence seems perfectly formed, but when he links them together he just seems to lose me. It took me three attempts to read Falling Man and when I finally did finish it I'm not sure I got it at all.

In what is essentially the prologue to Underworld that ran in Harper's in slightly different form, Pafko at the Wall describes the events of October 3, 1951, when the Giants came from behind to beat the Dodgers on Bobby Thomson's walk-off home run. This happened way before my time, but I remember hearing Russ Hodges's famous "The Giants win the pennant!" on reruns of MASH and various sports broadcasts and I had a friend named Bobby Thompson when I was kid. So it's an event that kinda sorta feels ...more

I found this insufferable for the same reason I find most Delillo insufferable, his language is just too incantatory and too bloatedly self-important to really take seriously. He wants to attach profundity and portentousness to everything in sight. Baseball, Nuclear War, J Edgar Hoover, Peter Brughel, Frank Sinatra... everything becomes a part of this giant, humorously ritualized mythos, which would be fine, but unfortunately fiction needs to have more to it than the atmosphere of a catholic mas ...more

Yesterday, Jonathan Schwarz was talking about how New York hasn't been the same since the Dodgers and Giants left. I didn't live here back then, but he claims it was perfect, so I'll have to to take his word for it. Anyway, I think that's something DeLillo is trying to get at with this story, a fictionalized account of the 1951 playoff between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Giants. Seven years after this game, both the Giants and the Dodgers would leave for California; the Polo Grounds an ...more

Jan 12, 2011 Edie rated it really liked it
DeLillo begins his novella with the line, "He speaks in your voice, American." Throughout the course of this sleek, condensed narrative, the author challenges his readers to examine the American voice. The mythology of baseball explodes in a crescendo of refuse, all the while underscored by the destructive power of atomic energy. DeLillo examines the reality of historical events, making us wonder if our emotions are the result of nothing more than good narration. It may be hard to find this book ...more

Recommends it for: baseball fans/cold war nuts
This story -- the opening chapter of "Underworld"-- is a dizzying collage of Cold War Americana that plays out against the backdrop of the famous Giants-Dodgers playoff of 1951. (Think "The Shot Heard 'Round The World.") As the game is played, Frank Sinatra, Jackie Gleason and J. Edgar Hoover share a field box, a young black kid from Harlem named Cotter Martin jumps the turnstiles and eventually gets his hand on the famous ball, and the Soviets get ready to test a nuclear weapon. Intense is an u ...more

I think that we care so much about the fight not so much because we love boxing, but because of the sense of community that it brings.

Pafko at the Wall is not about baseball. Instead, it is about the wonders and hysteria of humanity. It puts a human pattern on display: people gather to watch something. Within that something, someone wins and someone loses. Mystery fills the air, and there is no certainty of anything. People show passion toward something that is unclear, and their passion grows stronger near the end of the event. Humans tend to have associations with larger groups, but they don't know why. This trait causes fig ...more

While many may contest that Pafko at the Wall is a novella centered around the phenomenon about America's Pastime, baseball, it's focal point lies way beneath a phenomenal play or a pennant-clinching home run. The reader is exposed to the American aspect of participation and competition through the eyes of a young boy, Cotter. Although there are two other scenes that complement this one, I feel this scene truly paints the picture that DeLillo has in mind, while the other two clean up the scraps. ...more

It has been stated that Pafko at the Wall is not a story about baseball. In many ways, this is true. Although the story uses the baseball game to guide the reader through the story, the book is actually about the creation of unity among mankind by a single, significant event. The story focuses largely on the congregation of different social and ethnic backgrounds that, during the 1960s, would have otherwise preferred to remain separate. In the book, we see iconic figures such as J Edgar Hoover a ...more

A short story originally published in a magazine in 1992, and eventually made the first chapter of the sprawling novel Underworld, Don DeLillo's "Pafko at the Wall" is here published on its own. The setting is the legendary baseball game on October3, 1951 between the New York Giants and New York Dodgers at NY's now demolished Polo Grounds stadium. This ended with the "shot heard around the world", Giants outfielder Bobby Thompson's home run that led to a late victory when it seemed the team had ...more

This book is a very well written and provides vivid imagery on the state of America in the 1950s under the backdrop of a major league baseball game. The author is smart and assertive in his approach, he gives details of the game for the veneer purpose in the aspect of sports. But really the book presents the American physic of the 1950s especially in the mind of J. Edger Hoover, who really steals the show or pages from everyone else. The really meat of the story is with him as Hoover teeters ove ...more

I actually read Underworld, which uses this work as its prologue, but I wanted to leave a distinct review. While I enjoyed Underworld, this short work is the very best part. DeLillo fictionalizes the tale of Bobby Thomson's famous home run, and the recovery of the ball itself. Even if you know just what's going to happen, the excitement builds, and the descriptions are incredible. If you like baseball, or America, this will be a fantastic read.

This book was extremely disappointing. My teacher talked it up to be a very interesting book that directly related to the US in that time period, but I just found it to be a jumbled mess of incoherent thoughts that was supposed to encapsulate the idea of a lively baseball game. The action in the book was incredibly difficult to follow at times especially since the author used multiple names to describe the same person. I wouldn't mind the continuous jumping about if the author had included some ...more

This book gets me wondering on the effect of sports on people of different groups and on cities itself. This weekend is the fight of the century that everyone is dying to see. But why? It is human nature to always be part of history. If you are to miss something historic you will never live it down. Personally I have never bought an HBO fight in my life. I like boxing but I have never bought a fight but for some reason I am buying this fight and inviting people over to watch it. The reason for t ...more

I play baseball and love the games so when I heard we were going to read a book about baseball and in turn find out this book is about the events at a park, I was a little dissapointed. Even though the book did not focus on the actual game, I still appreciated the type of writing Delillo used when writing this. He constantly changes viewpoints of different fans at the game and goes over what is occurring in their life which helps you realize that people come to games and entertainment to get awa ...more

If Pafko at the Wall isn't a novella on a historic baseball moment, it is a stirring and at-times esoteric account of the backdrop that defined post-World War II America. Told from various points-of-view throughout the stadium (fans, announcers, celebrities), the story not only tracks the happenings of the final game in the 1951 pennant race, but also provides a deep inward look into how Americans thought, felt, acted, and shared in experiences during the era. Bordering at times from nostalgia t ...more

While reading "Pafko at the Wall," I found that DeLillo did a great job portraying history and societal norms alongside the renowned baseball game between the Dodgers and the Giants. At first, I felt like the action of the baseball game was more intriguing and I enjoyed reading the second half more because of the outburst in the stadium. But after finishing the book and discussing it in my English class, I came to appreciate all of the intricacies a little more. Things such as Hoover's obsession ...more

Above all, Pafko was one of those stories that kept me reading. I enjoy the concept of a very short span of time, elongated throughout a story that changes perspective and focuses on so many details. The references to people like Frank Sinatra and art like "The Triumph of Death" maintain a fun and informative mood.

In this novella, DeLillo did a good job of encapsulating the mood and feelings of 1950's America. There were countless parallels in the plot of a playoff baseball game to America's status in the world, and our relations with Russia. However, the fact that the entire book was devoted to describing a baseball game made the intensity and emotions of the day run dry. It felt like he tried to place so much gravity on the outcome of the game that the entire country would be changed forever. It was the ...more

Pafko at the Wall is more about being a part of the crowd rather than just watching a baseball game. What people remember most about a game is not only an amazing play that happened on field, but what you were doing at what everybody in the stadium did. For this reason, Don DeLillo chose to focus the plot on characters while rarely writing about what was actually going on in the game itself. DeLillo also chose his characters carefully, adding in characters from different backgrounds to show how ...more

Personally, I was not a fan of this book whatsoever. The writing style, although seemingly genius, did not work for me in this context. If this story was not about people watching a baseball game, the writing choice of multiple points of view could very well be utilized and interesting. However, since it is about baseball, I just found myself very bored with the content. Although the storyline didn't necessarily interest me, I did think that the author did a good job of capturing America's fasci ...more

Pafko at the Wall is a story that anyone, judging it by its cover, would expect to be about baseball. But DeLillo isn't a historical sports commentator. He's a historian who writes. His dedicating a novella to four hours at a famous baseball game isn't to glorify but to interpret where it falls in the United States' 200-year history. Weaving the stories of the American people who did American things during a New York afternoon in 1951 makes a snapshot of what the people of the United States of A ...more

Although it is masked under the pretense of a baseball game, Pafko at the Wall is truly a meditation on the spirit of the American people. Combining the stories of vastly different walks of life, Delillo paints a portrait of the American people by examining a baseball game, a form of democratic, egalitarian showmanship, from they eyes of a poor African American teenager to those of J. Edgar Hoover, founder of the FBI. Through these diverse perspectives, Pafko studies the onset of advanced commun ...more

Don DeLillo does a great job creating a scene and capturing a great moment in sports history. His descriptions can ramble on at parts, but he does a great job of building characters up. There is a character for everyone to relate with, be it Cotter, Russ Hodges, or Bill Waterson. The excitement of the winning run is felt in the pages and the impact that the moment left can be felt just through the character of Russ Hodges alone. This book is about a baseball game; baseball games tend to be socia ...more

Pafko at the Wall is a book based around one moment in history where Bobby Thompson hits a home run or a so-called "shoot heard round the world," yet there is much more going on in the novel then just this and baseball gets overshadowed. The book ends up being about perspectives and how everyone at this game whether the announcer, Frank Sinatra, or a young boy who snuck into the game and how everyone sees/views the game differently. We learn about how much of a hypochondriac J. Edgar Hoover was ...more

I feel pretty neutral about this novella. I think that because I came in expecting and kind of wanting to read about baseball. But despite the title, this book is not really about baseball. It's more of a book about the audience and the fans. The greatest focus of the writer, Don DeLillo, is placed on the announcer, a group of VIP's at the game, and a young black boy named Cotter. DeLillo really manages to capture the atmosphere in the ballpark and the amount of detail he goes into really helps ...more

Instead of hitting a hard ground, Kakusu felt water splash around him as he felt himself being weighed down by an invisible force, deeper into the water until he was disoriented, not knowing which way was up. The force was gone and he panicked, reaching out for someone to help him. Weak and too shocked to help himself, Kakusu sank. He couldn't rely on his own strength nor anyone else. Higoroshi wasn't there for him. He closed his eyes and saw the gray symbol, which was once on his face and opened them to see nothing. It was hopeless... he would be dead soon. How did he end up here? Why wouldn't anyone help him?
These questions went unanswered as Kakusu wasn't even able to vocalize them. He closed his eyes again to see nothing, but the same abyss he would see if he opened his eyes and accepted his destiny.
He was not the master of his own fate...
Kakusu knew he should have been dead by now. Something was wrong, but he didn't know what. His lungs weren't burning like he knew they should have felt and he was almost in a tranquil state.
He was slipping away, that's what it felt like, life was leaving him, but he wasn't afraid; then he remembered: "There was something I was meant to do; somewhere I was meant to be."
Something told him to try to swim up and as he clenched his fist, he felt an intense pain in his stomach.

Teresa Not too bad. Dont like that it still sometimes freezes up or just shuts down. Wish it would go back to where u can find the same words after each shake
Trouble on Galaxy S6 I used to rate this game 4 stars because it is easy to play and quite relaxing but on the S6 it doesn't work right. I can't get to settings or the game report. Now it's a noisy frustrating game that I will probably have to uninstall.
Fun and entertaining Keeps me entertained. Will be even happier when I learn more of their words.
Decent Its okay it was better before the made it where it won't accept the same word after shaking. Shake sensitivity is still bad.
Not for phone:Ads during game, no list of words missed at end I've played this game for years. I've adjusted to not being able to see solutions at the end of a game anymore, which is a bummer, but now ads pop up several times in the middle of game play interrupting the fun. Was so great but now it's ruined. All good things must come to an end.Edit: problems are only with Samsung phone. Works fine for tablet with menu for more options. Uninstalling from phone, which makes me sad to not have it to play when don't have tablet. Adding one star since can use on tablet.
shake? love the game...wastes too much time tryibg to shake...using a Samsung note and I have to shake my wrist so hard..and it still won't change board... sup?
What's New
- fixes menu button on tables
- long press on logo/shake button for abandon/new game

As far as the management control in Taiwanese banks and share sales in Taiwan's state banks are concerned, the government should stick to its bottom line and refrain from making more concessions in the upcoming service sector negotiations under the ECFA, during which further relaxations of financial rules may be agreed upon. Moreover, in the wake of signs that many businesses are starting to relocate their operations to other emerging markets because of rising production costs in China, we must hope our government will be able to reach similar market-access deals with other countries and thus help prepare more Taiwanese banks to enter those markets.

Rey Mysterio called, he wants his hoodie back.
On a more (or less) serious note, imagine the heart palpitations the nanny state will have when they see these.
Looks like lucha libre, but it's a Chinese opera face.
I agree with TNH–Chinese opera. It gives me a really bad impression of a company when they name something "Nippon" (Japan) when the design is Chinese. Do they just not know better, or do they think we don't know better, or do they not care? It happens way too often.
Paris Hilton was wearing one of these, with a skeleton design, in her "Porn Shop Freak Out" security video footage.
I see the skeleton ones (and knock-offs) around Berkeley and Oakland, CA all the time. These are a lot nicer.
I love the striped one since it has a sort of "CAUTION ZONE" thing going on, I just wish it came in a yellow&black version.
Have you guys seen the totally whacky stuff over at Headhoods?
I don't know if I'd ever wear it, but I love the concept.
That's pretty expensive for a sweatshirt with a zipper and a hood.
Strongbad is going to be pissed about this…
Don't wear these in Italy, or you'll get your ass arrested for being a terrorist! (Britain too maybe.)
I suspect that the hood is called "Nippon" due to its strong similarity to the masks worn by some Japanese pro-wrestlers, especially the mask of Masanori Murakawa aka The Great Sasuke.
Murakawa adopted the identity and mask of Ninja Sasuke while touring the Mexican wrestling circuit and he kept the mask and took the name The Great Sasuke upon his return to Japan. In 2003, the Great Sasuke was elected to the Iwate Prefectural Assembly, making him perhaps the first actual masked legislator in the history of representative government.
P.S. I'm not a nerd.
the white model -which appears to be discontinued- was on digg a while back. It would appear that someone let anticon in on the joke.
obviously, the target audience would be the hipster,mac-loving-slacker-type clansman.
How much more dangerous would it be to wear the white hoodie than the black? I would rather be mistaken for a terrorist -my preference being a ninja or a monkey….do they make one with an eye patch?
It's called 'Nippon' because it's a Japanese Kabuki theatre mask.
