The information about "inverse characters", is misleading, and the image illustrating it is plain wrong. The ATASCII character set consists of characters 0-127 "normal", and 128-255 inverse. 220.127.116.11 15:09, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Table needed[edit]
The main article could be improved if a table of equivalencies were added, comparing the Atari, Commodore, and PC ascii sets. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 23:24, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, I agree with you. And maybe a discussion of what sets Atari graphics apart from the Apple II of the day. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 20:54, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
- My experience with the Atari is limited to the 520 ST, which doesn't use ATASCII. Instead, the 520 ST uses some kind of a "plain vanilla" ASCII, which is kind of disappointing since all my prior experience was with the Commodore series of computers. Now, as for the eight bit Atari, that is something that I am curious about. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 00:30, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
- I've added a character chart, but I haven't been been able to find the Unicode value for RIGHT ONE QUARTER BLOCK (ATASCII 02) or UPPER ONE QUARTER BLOCK (ATASCII 0D). DanBishop (talk) 01:56, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
- Yellow background is for ATASCII-specific graphics characters. White background is the same except that you have to press ESC first or they get interpreted as control characters. The rest are the same as ASCII, classified by letters, digits, and punctuation. DanBishop (talk) 05:40, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
Quote Mode for the Atari?[edit]
Did Atari ever have a "quote mode" like Commodore had with its PETASCII? 184.108.40.206 (talk) 08:57, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
- Where? In the Commodore quote mode, control codes become visible as "inverse" or "reverse" bytes when you type a quotation mark. (The "inverse" or "reverse" byte is only a switching of colors, so instead of black on white, the character is drawn white on black.) With the Commodore quote mode, there is no need to press the Escape key. You can actually add a long series of control bytes, one after another, until you decide to get out of quote mode. But to get the same effect on an Atari, you'd have to press an Escape key for every control code you want to make visible. Am I right? But I am not sure, as I have never had an Atari 8 bit computer. I am basically guessing, according to what I am reading in the main article. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 00:36, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
- Good question. And your above discussion should maybe be a little section, as you validly point out the differences. On the Atari, you can go into Graphics mode, I forget the name of the key but essentially it lets you access all the keys including inverse video, quite similarly to the C64. I am just doing this off the top of my head so I can't quite remember either, but Ataris had one or two graphics characters on each key (as I think C64's did?) accessed by a special "shift" key (whose name I forget). So, I reckon, your comments are very useful but I dunno how we get to find the facts. Sometimes this kind of information is not easy to find. If you can do so, go for it! And actually, if not, what you already have is better than nothing at all.
- Sounds like the C64 inverse video system was pretty much the same as the Atari's. I had a C16 but that, despite being superficially similar, was completely different architecturally. }}}}
- I have no real experience with the Commodore PET computers, but from what I gather from talking to my friends, the Apple II treated Bit 7 a little bit differently. It had something to do with flashing the character. For instance, if you set Bit 7, the character would flash. If you cleared Bit 7, the character would stop flashing. This is what makes me raise an eyebrow about how, exactly, the Atari 8 bit flashed its cursor. Was it a graphical feature, as part of the graphics chips on the Atari 800? Was it part of the way Atascii implements its control codes? Why, it could be just about anything. (And seeing as how webbrowsers like to use "unicodes" here at Wikipedia, the question becomes that much harder to address. I remain curious about how ATASCII does its thing. It is really hard trying to find an Atari 8 bit programmer who actually knows what is going on in his machine, and why. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 02:57, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
- The Atari did NOT flash its cursor. It displayed it in inverse video. (There was, however, a POKE you could do to change the display of inverse video to normal text or invisible text, so if you really wanted to, you could write a program that had a flashing cursor.) DanBishop (talk) 02:11, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
Yeah I think perhaps we are talking about different things.
If I remember (this is all just from memory) the flashing was used on Apple II with bit 7 but not on Apple I. By "Quote mode" I had assumed was meant being able to stuff things into the program, and I've documented that at Atari BASIC. I've no knowledge of COmmodores though I owned a Commodore 16 once but they were very different from Commodore 64s and had a very different architecture, I think. It would be great to great to get this all kinda in order. The C64 used the 6502 and variants thereof, as did the Ataris, I am not sure what the C16 used, it was a bit weird as it was kinda badged like the C64 but very different.
The Atari had no quote mode in the sense I think you intended as being able to make non-printable characters printable, because all characters were printable. That is mentioned in the article but if it is not put clearly then it needs to be edited to say so.
SimonTrew (talk) 22:11, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
- ATASCII did have control characters. However, these characters could be printed if they were preceded by the escape character. For example, the BASIC statement PRINT "A→B" would display "A B" on the screen, but PRINT "A␛→B" would display "A→B". And to write that last line in the BASIC editor, you had to type Esc+Esc to get the symbol for Escape, and then Esc+Right to get the right arrow. AFAICR, there was no "quote mode". DanBishop (talk) 02:25, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
- But that is not to say ATASCII had escape characters in the sense that the escape sequence was stored in the string, in the way, say, we store HTML tags or & for writing literals. The E: driver had an escape toggle so that the following character entered was treated as a literal, not a control character. BUT the "escape" did not actually appear in the string as stored; it was simply a data entry meethod, and not part of the ATASCII character set. Some ATASCII characters just had one particular meaning (up, down, enter etc) for one particular editor. SimonTrew (talk) 08:15, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
How did the Atari cursor flash its characters?[edit]
The main article could be improved by explaining how characters over 128 are displayed in "inverse" colors. That is, by switching the colors so that black on white becomes white on black, presumably in a one-to-one relationship with the bits inside the character definition. Am I understanding this right? Is this related somehow to the flashing of the cursor? I assume that movement of the cursor over a particular row and column results in the flashing of the character located at that location. Is there a timer involved, so the cursor returns the character to its original state once it moves on?
The main article could be improved if it described how the Atari cursor worked. It is probably quite a bit different from that of modern Macs and PC compatibles. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 20:53, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
- The curor was simply implemented by inverting the character at the character position (by XOR with $80). It didn't flash. I will add this. SimonTrew (talk) 22:25, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
- Wasn't there an ATASCII code that turned the cursor off, and then later another one that turned it back on again? 188.8.131.52 (talk) 00:25, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
- Strictly speaking, no. There were codes specific to the E: and S: drivers that turned the cursor on and off, but these were not ATASCII as such (they were in ATASCII but were specific to those drivers). I forget the numeric values of the codes. I wrote an 80 column driver so I used to know all this stuff, but it was 20 years ago.
- There were no flashing cursors through interrupt or timer routines.
SimonTrew (talk) 01:29, 14 March 2009 (UTC) amended SimonTrew (talk) 02:56, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, I think I understand what you are going at. You stored a byte in screen memory, and if bit 7 were clear, you would the get two regular colors, but if it were set, the two regular colors would be switched? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 05:36, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
- Exactly that. The text cursor location was stored in two bytes of memory (one each for X and one for Y); a vertical blank (or display list) interrupt routine could be written to flash this cursor by flipping the bit every so often at the cursor, or indeed do something else such as turn the cursor off and use a sprite instead to overlay it. However this was not part of the standard OS behavior, and as far as I know was not widely used (I think at one time I wrote a routine to do it but I didn't like it myself, preferring the steady cursor).
- There were a couple of difficulties with flashing the cursor in an interrupt: first, the interrupt essentially had to track the previous cursor in case it moved (so that it could unflip the old location, not the current one), second, and related, if the Return key was hit, the character would be interpreted wrongly if it was not inverted the way the OS expected it to be. So it was easier in a sense just to turn the cursor off and use a sprite to do it, which could more easily track the cursor position independently, and also be in a different color (and shape). But setting up sprites was a bit of a faff, and it seems most people were really quite happy with the steady cursor. The only time it got at all tricky was if editing a lot of mixed inverse and normal video, but then the usual trick was simply to move the cursor around a bit to find out where it was, a bit like we do these days with the mouse when we lose the mouse cursor. Most people seemed quite happy with the steady cursor. SimonTrew (talk) 08:06, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
- I think that the Commodore 64 could change the cursor color to match the character color, and have them both match the foreground (or is that the background?) screen color (mapped into memory address $D021), but that is arguably cheating as it involves a bunch of pokes and peeks. It was harder to do it when the program was actually "running" (being interpreted by the BASIC ROM). I would guess the same thing was probably done with the Atari 800. (?) So far as I can tell, it was probably impossible to do with the PC compatibles of the era. (?) 220.127.116.11 (talk) 03:03, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
- The Atari 8-bits could do color using sprites, but generally did not. The flashing cursor on PCs is hardware generated and IIRC is controlled through an INT 8 call. I would not be surprised to learn it flashed a bit faster on American NTSC machines than European PAL ones, but I don;t know.
- The Atari 8-bit in text mode (GRAPHICS 0) only had one colour, with two levels of luminence. So it was actually (by default) light blue on dark blue. One could POKE a location to change this color (I think 204 or 205 but I am guessing) to make it black on white, but it was basically one color with two levels of luminance. SimonTrew (talk) 03:27, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
- The main article needs to be rewritten so that non-atari users don't happen across it, and go away with the wrong idea.
- Did the Atari cursor flash five times a second, four times a second, or twice a second? Was this determined by the IRQ line, which pulsed periodically from a timer (so that the sytem ROM could be served regularly), as was the case with the C-64? I'm assuming there were only two states for the cursor, positive and inverse, and the flashes were sufficiently regular that they seemed to be in synch with the keyboard scan? 22.214.171.124 (talk) 06:09, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
List of Control Codes Needed[edit]
Aside from the carriage return, linefeed, and ESC characters, what other characters were considered control codes in ATASCII? 188.8.131.52 (talk) 00:11, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
- None. The article says so, I think quite clearly and concisely. Some characters had special meanings to some programs, but the whole character set could be rendered graphically. Believe me I know cos I had to squeeze them in to 4x8 characters for my 80-column driver.
You could register so that I am not talking with an anonymous IP I can't reply to. It's a bit rude IMHO. SimonTrew (talk) 06:20, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
- Like you, I hate anonymity. Registering with Wikipedia is simply not as good as just signing your real name, with a street address, city, and zipcode. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 09:07, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
- It's just the way some of us protest the theory of "anonymity" and "identity" as it relates to Internet, where authentication depends largely (but not always) on password passing (and even password sharing, when it is done by operatives of clandestine (sometimes Federal) organizations). Authentication should be guaranteed across the board, and not just dependent on agreeing as to which kind of protocol is used for passing data between Internet Points and Gateways. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 20:18, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
European (Latin-1) characters[edit]
I am trying to recall now, but somehow on Rev C. the graphics characters were replaced with accented Latin letter characters, àèìò etc. I can't remember (a) how it did this-- I think it was a completely seperate font back-- and (b) how it was accessed-- you hit the OPTION button or something to switch between them (it just changed the register that pointed to the font location). Any clues? SimonTrew (talk) 22:19, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
- I remember. It was a separate font. The OPTION button must have just flipped the fonts. I am pretty sure it was OPTION. SimonTrew (talk) 08:18, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Is metadata a better term than control code?[edit]
Would the main article be improved by changing all the references to "control codes" over to "metadata"?
It seems that someone somewhere came up with a neologism - "metadata" - and started using it instead of the historically more accurate "control code" - probably in response to the decline of proprietary ASCII sets, and the rise of some kind of universal HTML-ready "script" of commands, however misleading that might be.
How much "control" can Atari control codes actually deliver anyway? 220.127.116.11 (talk) 09:13, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
- Well I suppose "control" has so many senses as a word we could argue that one till the cows come home. It would seem best to use the more contemporar names i.e. the ones Atari used.

Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) bacteria can cause illness (fevers, low blood counts, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss) in persons infected with HIV. The CD4+ count is a measure of immune cells; high CD4+ cell counts are better than low ones. When HIV infection causes patients' CD4+ counts to fall below 50 cells per cubic milliliter of blood (cells/mm3), the risk for infection with MAC bacteria increases greatly; guidelines recommend that at that point patients should take antibiotics that prevent MAC infection. Powerful anti-HIV drugs can allow CD4+ cell counts to rise. It is not known, however, whether it is safe to stop treatment with the antibiotics that prevent MAC infection in persons taking anti-HIV drugs once their CD4+ cell counts have risen.
To see whether it is safe to stop treatment with antibiotics that prevent MAC infections in persons taking anti-HIV drugs whose CD4+ cell counts have risen to over 100 cells/mm3.
The investigators studied 643 persons with HIV infection whose CD4+ cell counts had been below 50 cells/mm3 but then rose above 100 cells/mm3 while they were taking anti-HIV treatment.
The researchers randomly assigned study patients to continue their anti-MAC antibiotics or to take a placebo that looked like the antibiotic but contained no active ingredient. They then followed the patients to see who developed MAC infections; one method they used was testing blood samples for MAC every 8 weeks.
During an average of 16 months, 2 cases of MAC infection occurred among the 321 study patients taking placebo. No MAC infections occurred among the 322 study patients who continued taking anti-MAC antibiotics. However, statistical tests showed that these results could have happened by chance, suggesting that it is safe to stop treatment with antibiotics to prevent MAC infection in persons taking anti-HIV treatment whose CD4+ counts rise above 100 cells/mm3.
Because so few MAC infections occurred, this study cannot exclude the possibility that more MAC infections could really occur without anti-MAC antibiotics than with them. In addition, while the study required that participants have CD4+ cell counts above 100 cells/mm3, the average CD4+ cell count was actually 230 cells/mm3. These results may not apply to patients with smaller improvements in CD4+ cell counts.
Stopping treatment with antibiotics that prevent MAC infection in persons with HIV infection who are taking anti-HIV drugs and whose CD4+ cell counts rise above 100 cells/mm3 does not appear to cause a significant increase in MAC infections.

A dog rescued from intense temperatures and dangerous conditions is recovering.
Oso was rescued late Friday night, after an anonymous caller alerted Mesa County Animal Services officers to the dog's conditions.
When Oso was rescued, his collar was so tight, it was cutting into his neck and causing him to bleed.
The dog has since had stitches and careful medical treatment to nurse him back to health.
Penny McCarty with Mesa County Animal Services says whoever called in on the dog, likely saved his life. "Oso was very fortunate in that someone cared enough to call, and so that's what we ask people to do, when you see a situation that just doesn't make sense, even if you're not sure, better be safe than sorry, give us a call, and we'll go out and do a welfare check," she says.
Animal Services officials say although calls in the past year for animal abuse are up, its more so that Mesa County residents are finally willing to pick up the phone to stop it.

i meant make a sandwich using the spider as a filling? haha :P(Original post by Kallisto)
And then a spider, which is scrambling on a wall, falls down into your sandwich what would you do? eating a sandwich which smacked on spider?
What do YOU do when you see a spider in your room?
|Posted on
Smash it till its a flattened mess with my slippers.
Drag the cat in and have him chase it down.
literally JUST found a spider in my room, it was caught up in my pile of clothes on the floor guess that teaches me that i should hang my clothes up after i wear them! anyway, i just yelled for my dad to come and get it out :P
Freak out, then try and get someone to get rid of it. (I can't even bring myself to trap them!) Failing that, throwing heavy objects at it. I find the Encyclopedia is usually a strong candidate.
I pick up the cat and put him/her next to the spider so they become interested when it moves, I try to encourage them to 'GET IT' but it usually ends with them rolling onto the floor and the spider escaping to some dark crevice somewhere in the room.......my cats obviously don't love me enough
Demand my mother or father to protect me.
I set my cat on it, or put a glass over the top and get someone else to get rid of it.
If it's a small one I ignore it. If it's a big one I yell for my sis to get rid of it.
Pray for my life to every god ever conceived.
Seriously though, I really don't like spiders. People say they're harmless but I've had really bad spider bites at least 4 times; they're all hard and painful and last for weeks.
Sit in a corner watching its every move and cry when i take my eyes off it for a second, and realise it's scuttled away
I once killed a medium-sized spider with my slipper after staring at it in abject fear for a long while, gathering enough courage I then went absolutely ape **** on its freaky looking ass, thus breaking my finger. True story...
British spiders are nothing compared to Australian spiders
I'm not scared of spiders myself don't get why people are so scared, they can't hurt you and they're not hard to kill.
Now if I opened the door of my house and a tiger was sitting there then I would be scared but over a silly bug. People in the UK need to man up, in China they eat them.
I agree with u, I be seen that a lot of people are scared of spider. It's fun.

I kill it if I'm going to be going to sleep, otherwise I leave it.
I don't like bugs in my room when I'm about to sleep.
Give it a name and a home
Well, I've slept on the sofa a few nights this week due to a massive spider running across my bed then out of sight. Urgh.
If I can kill it, I usually will. I used to try to capture them and put them outside, but I usually failed (even with the paper and cup technique) because I'd panic if it moved then I'd accidentally knock some legs off with the cup. It's probably more humane for me to just kill them.
I was just in a confined area with hundreds of spiders around me... I was freaking out a tiny bit since most looked like black widows. I took one photo.
^Is this an actual black widow or a look-alike? Most of the ones I saw looked blacker than this one...
Start to sing;~

"If we truly want to create a life that is grounded in basic well-being, we must decide to commit ourselves to learning what it takes to thrive instead of merely survive."

Occasionally in life there are those moments of unutterable fulfillment which cannot be completely explained by those symbols called words. Their meanings can only be articulated by the inaudible language of the heart.

Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)
The average Westerner, some would label civilized, (I would not choose that word), is caught in a life of mediocrity and unhappiness. The magic has been lost on most. We are sucked into the spell of consumerism, to be left with many things in our garage but nothing in our hearts. We live frustrated, desperate lives of hopelessness, which are only occasionally sprinkled with moments of hope and clarity. The most we look forward to is the next thing we can add to our already bulging pile of stuff. We somehow go to jobs we don't choose, day in day out, wondering if there isn't something more to life. We skimp and scrape to get by, never thinking about the next person. It does not often cross our minds, that giving away our time, energy and love to another, gives us more happiness and hope in our own lives. We live in fear – fear of dying, fear of living, fear of losing our stuff, fear of our neighbors, fear of the environment, fear of change, and fear of ourselves, really."Sherman continued as the others focused their attention on him. "If we compare this type of existence to the type of existence the owner's of these handprints lived, we see a dramatic difference. They sought out, discovered and lived in harmony with their purpose, with each other and in their environment. These symbols physically remain to demonstrate to this day, their connection to personal power and purpose – and to the spirit world that brought them that purpose. When we know our purpose we are happier, more centered people. We have direction, hope and something to look forward to, each and every day. Something to work toward. When we meet people who are living on-purpose we revere them, call them heroes and envy their lives. But we each have out own gifts to bring. Like the "Little Drummer Boy" our personal gifts are all that God wants from us. When our personal purpose is expressed in how we make a living, we are fulfilled and happy. When that purpose also reveals our individual method of service to our fellow man, fear falls away and peace and satisfaction take its place.

We're all torn between the desire for privacy and the fear of lonliness. We need each other and we need to get away from each other. We need proximity and distance, conversation and silence. We almost always get more of each than we want at any one time.
Andy Rooney (1919 -)
SETH said: The magical approach takes it for granted that the human being is a united creature, fulfilling purposes in nature even as the animals do, whether or not those puposes are understood. (pause.) The magical approach takes it for granted that each individual has a future, a fulfilling one, even though death may be tomorrow. The magical approach takes it for granted that the means for development are within each individual, and that fulfillment will happen naturally. Overall, that approach operates in your world. If it did not, there would be no world. If the worst was bound to happen, as scientists certainly think, even evolution, in their terms, would have been impossible, of course - a nice point to put somewhere (all intently).

Man's search for meaning is the primary motivation in his life and not a "secondary rationalization" of instinctual drives. This meaning is unique and specific in that it must and can be fulfilled by him alone; only then does it achieve a significance which will satisfy his own will to meaning.

Talk:Death Proof
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
At the begining of the extended edition, there's a title card with the title "DEATH PROOF" over the "real" title (rpobably a pun of how foreign films get their names changed), but I haven't had a chance to check it frame by frame, what does it say? I believe it's Rolling Thunder, but I can't remember as I've only seen it once.Vicco Lizcano (talk) 15:03, 18 January 2008 (UTC) (Hey! Listen!)
- It's Thunder Bolt. (Sugar Bear (talk) 15:33, 2 March 2008 (UTC))
and its not about foreign films changing their title, its supposed to be like two separate movies cut together into one, thats why there are tw casts of characters for the separate segments and there is an obvious change in cinematography and color halfway through —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 06:53, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
Arlene's death[edit]
"and Arlene's face is torn off by Mike's front wheels". The sound of motor makes it more like rear wheel to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 15:49, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
Added to Kill Bill References[edit]
Right after the dialogue where the Bride says "and she took part in the assassination of 9 people... she should have made it 10" in Kill Bill, they're portraying the Viper Assassination Squad punching the Bride by turns, with Lucy Liu's character ending with a kick. This was repeated in Death Proof, against Stuntman Mike. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 05:23, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
Just like an exploitation filmmaker to rip-off a riff from a better movie. Naaman Brown (talk) 18:10, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
Article status[edit]
I have cleaned up the articles for Planet Terror and Death Proof, deleted parts that were either unsourced or were not specific to each individual film, and have basically tried to rework each article into something respectful into each individual work and to try not to treat the films as a single work, as the article had previously done due to the fact that the articles were copied out of the Grindhouse (film) article, and not properly. Basically, the articles are now a lot better looking and more specific to each individual film. As the "missing reel" title card only appeared in the US "double feature" version of Death Proof did not appear in the non-double feature version of that film, the "missing reels" info only appears in the Grindhouse and Planet Terror articles. The information about the fake trailers only appears in the Grindhouse article, as the separated version of Planet Terror only contains the Machete trailer, and Death Proof does not feature any trailers. I have also added development information from the Grindhouse article to the Planet Terror and Death Proof articles. (Sugar Bear (talk) 15:40, 2 March 2008 (UTC))
Trivia Sections[edit]
The reverts I made were with respect to WP:TRIVIA. Those lists were nothing more than trivia. Some relevant, most not. If you want, include it into the body of the article, otherwise, it stays off the page. Tool2Die4 (talk) 18:07, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
More Trivia/Cultural References[edit]
Added a trivia entry regarding Nicky Katt's role as the convenience store clerk. The store he works in is called the Circle A. This is a very obvious reference to the 1996 film subUrbia, in which he starred, where a group of teenagers in the movie convene around a convenience store of the same name. I invite you to clean up my presentation of the fact, as I'm no english major. I'm sure someone can make it sound better. But because of how obvious this fact is, (possibly could be classified as a cultural reference), I feel it should be included.
The appearance of characters from Kill Dan, such as Jasper the Rapist, should not be included in the plot description of this film unless it is actually germane to the plot of Death Proof. What happens to Jasper the Rapist in Kill Bill is not really part of the plot of Death Proof at all. ChargersFan (talk) 20:52, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
Mickey Rourke[edit]
Mickey Rourke was to supposed to play the lead in this film. For undisclosed motives, he withdrew from the project. The film's script includes his name, along with Zoe Bell, as the lead actor and actress. I'm not sure we should include this information in the article.
Plot Summary[edit]
Should it not be noted that the plot summary is for the single release version of the movie, and not the "Grindhouse" double feature? Naaman Brown (talk) 15:07, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
In the unrated version of Death Proof, Zoë Bell is the one who lands the final blow before the credits roll. Can anyone confirm that Abernathy landed the final blow in the theatrical release? Dan the Hat (talk) 02:49, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
How come there's no reception section? -mattbuck (Talk) 03:12, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
Merge with List of characters in Death Proof[edit]
This article provides more information about the characters in Death Proof than the character list does. There is no need for the duplication of this information on a separate page. As such, List of characters in Death Proof should be merged here. Neelix (talk) 13:57, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
Abernathy Ross - Kill[edit]
In the section on Abernathy Ross it says that she delivers the kick that kills Mike. This is wrong. If you look at the scene, it's actually Zoe who performs the lethal kick. --18.104.22.168 (talk) 17:30, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Incorrect. There's a short scene after the 'Written and Directed by' that shows Abernathy kills him with the axe kick. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYt9AlsgPCo#t=1m05s — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jbc564 (talk • contribs) 09:00, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

"In law, defamation (also called vilification, slander, and libel) is the communication of a statement that makes a false claim, expressively stated or implied to be factual, that may give an individual, business, product, group, government or nation a negative image. Slander refers to a malicious, false, and defamatory statement or report, while libel refers to any other form of communication such as written words or images. Most jurisdictions allow legal actions, civil and/or criminal, to deter various kinds of defamation and retaliate against groundless criticism. Related to defamation is public disclosure of private facts which arises where one person reveals information which is not of public concern, and the release of which would offend a reasonable person."
As a result of what Amazon did to me I made sure I closed my account with them, I could think of nothing else, I think I can no longer access information about my account now, yet I took pictures of my account for tax purposes, because:
I tried to sell a Sony DVD / VCR Recorder / Player that was new and rarely used, mother said to sell it, I looked to see how much it cost, I decided on a low price, I then created as realistic of an ad as I could, I created much detail about it, yet some one emailed me about it, the answer was written in my ad, yet asked, it came from amazon, therefore I answered it, was this a set-up, get me to answer then blame me for answering the email, blame for selling outside Amazon, I found it did not completely work as good as new, therefore I refused to sell it, they sent me an email telling me, I can no longer sell at amazon, because they wrote and presumed I sold it outside Amazon, its collecting dust where it was to begin with.
Hello lawyers out there, I have the evidence, the pictures of my account, if I check I may have the email they sent me, I still have the Sony DVD / VCR Recorder / Player to prove it.

If you're expecting the upcoming 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and 5.5-inch iPhone 6L to cost the same as an iPhone 5s, think again. That extra display could be coming at a $50 premium, according to a new report.
China Is Not Impressed With The iPhone 5c
Over and over again over, most of the pre-launch chatter about the iPhone 5c was that this was Apple's "budget" iPhone, meant to help Cupertino squeeze into the mid-range, and especially penetrate the emerging market in countries like China by being released at a price around $349.
So imagine China's surprise when it turned out that the iPhone 5c wasn't meant to be any more of a budget iPhone than the year-old iPhones Apple has sold before. In fact, in China, an iPhone 5c will cost, in dollars, more than what an iPhone 5s would cost an American unsubsididized. And the Chinese are underwhelmed, to say the least.
Vodafone U.K. Confirms It Will Roll Out 4G Network This Summer
Vodafone has confirmed that it will roll out its new 4G LTE network in the United Kingdom this summer, ready for a launch "later this year." The move follows the carrier's £790 million ($1.2 billion) acquisition of a chunk of 4G spectrum back in February.
Tim Cook: Declining AAPL Price Over Past Few Quarters Has Been Very Frustrating
Apple just released its Q2 2013 Financial results, and even though Apple beat its own estimates, Tim Cook started the Quarterly Financial Call on the defensive.
Cook started the call by explaining how exceptional Apple's 2012 financial results were for Apple, so it's hard for the company to improve sales this quarter. Then Cook commented on Apple's struggling stock price by saying he's "very frustrated" with the stock's declining value the last few quarters, but they're staying focused on the future.
Hoping to appease investors, Apple announced today that it will payback $100 billion to investors by 2015. Apple has yet to release a major product in 2013, but Cook reassured investors that Apple can't wait to release new hardware and software this Fall and throughout 2014.
Apple Announces Faster Processors, Lower Prices For Retina MacBook Pro, MacBook Air
Apple has today announced that it has updated its 13- and 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro to add faster processors and lower prices. The 13-inch model now starts at $1,499 with 128GB of flash storage, rising to $1,699 for a new 2.6GHz processor and 256GB of flash.
The 15-inch model now offers a faster 2.4GHz quad-core processor as standard, while the top-of-the-line model gets a new 2.7GHz quad-core processor and 16GB of memory.

FCW Forum — Acquisition
Intensified oversight undermines support for procurement staff
Let's talk baseball — or at least baseball as it relates to federal acquisition.
The acquisition community needs a comeback. Like the recently returned Pedro Martinez, it needs some rehab to get back to the majors.
Let's imagine that each federal agency is a team. Together, those teams form a league. Each team has an owner or owners, and the league has a head office.
The head office for the federal government resides in Congress. And that head office has changed its name from the House Government Reform Committee to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
Normally, an organization's name change doesn't affect employees. But because Congress changed the committee's name and is seemingly focusing its efforts on oversight instead of reform, it has cast a cloud of doubt over the entire league.
Given the intensified focus on oversight, agency leaders are now leery of voicing their support of a contracting officer's decisions. That would be like team owners not supporting their managers' decisions. That's not good baseball, and it's not good business.
This cloud of doubt goes even higher, to the "replay officials" — the inspectors general and Government Accountability Office. What will these entities do if an agency leader makes a decision they feel is questionable? The focus on oversight has led to more incidents of decision reviews — or instant replays.
The umps "call 'em as they see 'em," but they can only see some of what has happened. It's as if the video on an instant replay cut off just as a line drive was nearing the foul pole. Was the hit fair or foul? It's tough to say when you can only see where the ball landed.
Let's be clear here: No one is promoting bad acquisition planning. Those on the field try to make good calls — and usually do. Everyone wants a clean and well-played game. The point is that many of the acquisition-focused decision-makers do not have the support they need from their superiors. And Congress has slowed down the acquisition community at a time when the clear signal from the paid attendees — taxpayers — is for government to speed up the process.
To ensure they can be successful, contracting professionals need the training, latitude and support necessary to do their jobs.
It is time for Congress to move to the second part of the committee's responsibility: government reform.
Give the agencies the authority to elevate the acquisition community to professional status. Give them the tools to hire, train and keep training. Remove the oversight fear factor of making a bad decision. Yes, Congress, continue your overall responsibilities of oversight, just let the professionals carry out their assignments.
Believe me, you'll see a great game that will give the taxpayers their money's worth.

The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
Bill - interesting comparison. Like baseball, most of acquisition's woes come from really bad "front office" or management decisions. These decisions make it harder for the players to come together as a team (read acquisition team) and execute their mission effectively. Add about 70 more umpires per game and you have the environment that today's acquisition professionals are laboring in. Unlike baseball, you can't simply send players down to the minor leagues to hone their skills or easily fire managers and owners for their decisions. Anyway, play ball!

CHICAGO — Pity the San Jose Sharks.
Could have won Game 1, should have won Game 3, and yet they're down 3-0 in the Western Conference final to the Chicago Blackhawks, though everyone knows they deserve a better fate.
That is, unless you consider that the Blackhawks are doing it essentially without Marian Hossa, the $7.9-million-a-year US winger whose inability to pull the trigger in this series — indeed, throughout the playoffs — is reaching epic, nearly comic, proportions.
It's not merely his salary that makes Hossa stand out, although it accentuates the apple that appears to be lodged in his throat. It's also his history, as a hired gun who couldn't help the Ottawa Senators win when they had as much talent as any team in hockey.
And who also couldn't help the Penguins win when they got to the finals against Detroit in 2008, so he switched sides just in time for Detroit to lose to his old team in the 2009 rematch. And who, now, has hitched up the old black cloud and dragged it over to Chicago, where happily it's had a minimal effect on the young, lavishly-gifted Blackhawks.
But at the moment, overshadowing even history is comedy. Hossa is like an artist whose muse has run off with another man — in this case, perhaps his gargantuan teammate Dustin Byfuglien. Big Buf scores for fun while Hossa misses two chances to score on an empty net in Game 2 — skating offside on one of them as his teammate was about to pass him the puck — and has a clean shot at a near-empty net in Game 3, only to hit Sharks defenceman Rob Blake.
"Yeah, Blakey made a nice toe save on him . . . I thought that was in, too," said a smiling Hawks coach Joel Quenneville, who gave his team the day off Saturday with a chance to close out the Sharks Sunday afternoon. "And then he hit the post in the game prior to that. I think when you're that close, eventually you're going to get one. Certainly I think his overall game is solid as you could ever want in a forward, in a player. But right now he's a little snake-bitten around the net."
Quenneville can afford to laugh, because the Hawks' incredible depth has made Hossa's near-absence as an offensive force — he has two goals in 15 games — less of an issue. That's a luxury the Sharks have not had with their own $8-million sniper, Dany Heatley, who's also firmly in the tank.
It's probably a coincidence that the two were traded for one another in 2005, when Heatley needed a change of venue after the car crash that killed his passenger, Dan Snyder in Atlanta, and was dealt to Ottawa for Hossa, who was about to become too expensive for the Sens in the new salary cap world.
The Sharks — who landed Heatley last fall after he requested a trade from Ottawa (and turned down a deal with Edmonton, infuriating two Canadian cities simultaneously) — have scored five goals in three games of the conference final. Four of them, the last four, have been by Patrick Marleau. None by Joe Thornton, none by Joe Pavelski, none by Devin Setoguchi . . . and none by Dany Heatley.
He's obviously hurting — reportedly with a bad groin. That would explain why he can't get to prime shooting position, and why such a big man is so soft on the puck — though it doesn't cushion the fact that Heatley has stood around watching Byfuglien's two game-winners in this series, as if he didn't know what his assignment might be on either play.
But that's the difference between the two silenced snipers. Hossa plays, as Mike Babcock would say, a 200-foot game. So even when he's not scoring, he's contributing with puck possession, defensive position and backchecking. His two goals, therefore, are more than offset by his plus-8 rating. Heatley, with 13 points in as many Shark playoff games, is minus-7 after making no move to stop Byfuglien from skating into Dave Bolland's pass in the slot Friday night, in overtime.
"I think we all have to find a way to get one more past (Hawks goalie Antti) Niemi and not leave it on Dany Heatley's shoulders," said Sharks coach Todd McLellan. "But he does have to find a way to put the puck in the net, especially on the power play.
"As coaches, we're always aware that there's 19 others who play the game, as well. We need that from some others. But Heater has the skill and the ability and in the past he's proven he can put the puck in the net. That's what he's here for."
Quenneville, with Jonathan Toews and Byfuglien and Patrick Kane and Bolland producing nicely, can afford to give Hossa a pass, for now, but at some point before these playoffs are over, even a guy with as many facets to his game as Hossa is going to have to score some goals.
"'It's definitely bugging me when the puck's not going in,'' he said the other day. "It is in my head. But I try not to put too much pressure on myself because it's not going to do any good, right?
"Sometimes it's a little thing. Just a little break when the puck goes off your shin pad or something, and all of a sudden you score another one and things are going your way.''
In the meantime, while McLellan can only pray Heatley breaks out, and quickly, Quenneville can wait for his sniper to click. Paycheque season is over, so Hossa's $7.9 million ticket isn't an issue.
Ottawa paid half of Heatley's salary this season, $4 million up front, but the Sharks — down to one life left — are feeling 100 per cent of the pinch.

I wonder if anyone can help me. I have used Adventure Journal as the basis for an old business website, which was temporarily hosted on a subdomain of another (completely unrelated) business website, giving it a rather clunky URL. I recently bought a new domain name and built a duplicate site. The old site has quite a decent Google ranking, which I don't want to lose, so I thought I would do a 301 redirect, nominating the identical pages on the new site as canonical. I thought I would be able to simply download a plug-in and have that do the dirty work for me. However, it appears that the original site was built using some sort of cut-down version of WordPress with the result that the folders on the server are read-only. So I can neither update WordPress, nor access the full library of plug-ins.
The html code for the redirect is easy to understand,
'<link href="http://www.example.com/canonical-version-of-page/" rel="canonical" />'
Since I can't alter the code for the (4) individual pages, could I simply enter 4 html link tags into the header.php file? Would the search engines pick it up or do I need to write a snazzy bit of php to automatically insert the URLs for the individual pages into the redirect code?

text: I'm sure there must be loads on this, but I don't really know where to start, and the bits I have seen I'm just not yet technically able to understand the comments. I'm using WordPress, and SEO Plugin, other WP sites I've put up seem to show the SEO Plugin description in Google searches, but my latest one jamesbondbluray.co.uk seems to want to put something like "Welcome to WordPress etc...". Is there an easy way I an sort this? I can't even see where this text is appearing in my WP admin or the SEO Plugin Admin. Any help appreciated.
