Re: WWE 2011: Pushing the Boundaries
Raw Feedback
I read your last Raw so it made sense to kick this one off with Punk. Decent stuff from Punk to begin with, not too sure about the mention of Johnny Curtis in getting noticed though lol. Punks character is difficult to capture but I thought you did a pretty good job here. Trips was alright here but didnt add an awful lot, Laurinaitis was probably more effective and the Punk line about bringing Trips back out cos he couldnt understand him was typical Punk. Decent segment but it ended on a sour note, Tyler Reks? The fans are really meant to buy Tyler Reks being a test for the WWE Champion? Not a chance. Wouldve rather you gave him a stronger test to be honest. The match itself was as expected, comfortable Punk win so good job there.
Miz and Truth were a little bit off other than Mizs really line. Punk was decent as ever and the attack was nicely done. Kofi making the save was a good choice and the tag match later should be a strong one.
Decent tag match here and glad to see the D.O.D building some momentum, keep that up.
Swagger interview was quite off also. The line about him being remembered was just really weird and confusing, if you read it back you might see it too. A Ryder/Swagger feud has potential but a little bit more work is needed on Swaggers characterisation.
Nice contest again here and I like the way youre having Ryder keep picking up wins from almost nowhere. It does a lot for him and it does a lot to further the feud also, giving Swagger a legitimate gripe.
Solid exchange here between Koztino and the Nexus rejects. Its not the most exhilarating feud in the world on paper but at least you are doing something with them and with the tag titles.
Very good package for Brodus Clay here, excited by what youll do with him.
Cena was alright here, started off a little shaky but got better as he went along. Del Rio was ok too, I like the little uses of perro and his little words he throws in. Cena was better going up against someone than he was just speaking on his own, so maybe bare that in mind for the future. AA was a good move and keeps Cena very firmly in the title frame and in the mind of the champion. Only rela negative here would be that Cenas coming out again fairly soon for the tag match.
Trips and Laurinaitis was fairly well done, keeps this storyline building nicely.
Interview with Vickie and Dolph was well done, probably the best in terms of character Ive seen so far. Ziggler showing all his usual cockiness with Vickie being the annoying, whiny witch she is.
Mysterio/McIntyre was a good contest and was pleased you allowed McIntyre to hang in there for ten plus minutes. Ziggler coming out at the end was a nice touch and this feud is coming along very well right now.
Very interesting stuff with Morrison here. Im guessing hes headed to Smackdown but we shall see.
Nothing special here but did the job and a nice cheap win for Otunga heading into the clash at Night of Champions. Wouldnt expect them to take the gold but a win here does wonders for he and McGillicutty.
Pretty strong main event as expected to be honest and knew the ending wouldnt be clean. Right call to be honest. The ending was nice with the faces getting the better of the heels and Cena looking strong only for Del Rios antics after the match to put that out the window. This was to be expected but still done the trick in adding all the more heat to him and his reign right now, which he needs. Punk storming down, again was expected but the right call.
Major announcement for Night of Champions and yeah itll be a great match but Im not sure its the right one. Kofi is the main issue for me as he really hasnt done a whole lot to force his way into all this. Miz and Truth are in the same boat but to a lesser extent. Wouldve preferred maybe Del Rio/Cena/Punk here and Kofi and a partner vs. Awesome Truth or even Del Rio/Punk and a rematch of Cena/Kofi vs. Awesome Truth. Still, huge main event now set.
On the whole I think it was a decent show. Your characterisation needs work but thatll come, just keep reading guys like Wolfy, Legend etc. The matches were ok and most storylines were on point. The most simple is Mysterio/Ziggler, yet thats probably the highlight for me as it was well done throughout. Id say look at that and then take it into your other feuds. Keep it going.

On Sunday, April 21, at 4:30 p.m. Macculloch Hall Historical Museum welcomes Oriental rug expert DeWitt Mallary to present "Collecting Oriental Rugs in American, Then and Now."
Mallary will discuss the evolution of Oriental rug collecting in America over the past century or so, as well as discussing the museum's rug collection. Macculloch Hall Historical Museum's collection was assembled by its founder, W. Parsons Todd. Todd joined the Hajji Baba Club, America's first rug collectors group, in 1933, shortly after the group began.
Mallary will consider what rugs were available and considered collectible then, and throughout Mr. Todd's collecting period over the next several decades. He will also consider how tastes and preferences, supply and demand have affected the collecting of oriental rugs and textiles since then. Mallary will then discuss some of the rugs in the Museum's collection.
Todd began collecting rugs in the 1920s, when few collectors were paying attention to them and information was scarce. Relying on his taste and instincts, Todd purchased 65 rugs, ranging geographically from Morocco to China and chronologically from the sixteenth through the early twentieth centuries. Although the rugs are not concentrated in any specific group, Todd built an outstanding collection; he purchased some pieces in poor condition because his priority was a rug's beauty, rarity, and content.
This program will be presented in the main gallery where vivid examples of the antique Oriental rug collection are currently being showcased, complemented by textbook examples of fine porcelain, silver, glass and furniture collected by Museum founder, W. Parsons Todd.
The "A Fine Collection: Treasures from the Vault" exhibit has a perimeter layout which leaves the center of the room open for a series of speakers and musical programming taking place in conjunction with the exhibit. Musical programs take place on the first Sunday of the month at 4:30 p.m. and speakers on the third Sunday of the month through June.
DeWitt Mallary has been collecting and studying rugs and textiles over the past three decades. From his original focus on Baluch and Turkmen rugs, his interests have expanded to many other areas of antique rugs and textiles. He has been a Contributing Editor of HALI Magazine for over 20 years, delivered papers at the International and American Conferences on Oriental Carpets, and curated exhibitions and given presentations at a host of rug meetings and symposia in American and Europe. He is a long-standing member of the Hajji Baba Club, America's first and oldest rug collector's group. He co-authored a catalog of Todd's collection at Macculloch Hall Historical Museum.
Tickets for Sunday programs will go on sale from 1 p.m. on the day of the program, no advance sales. The presentation begins at 4:30 p.m. House tours (regular admission applies) take place throughout the afternoon, the last tour leaves at 3pm. The upstairs galleries will remain open until 4:30 p.m., with the "A Fine Collection" exhibit closing at 3pm in preparation for the program. Tickets to hear speakers are Adults $8; Seniors & Students $6; Children 6 – 12 $4. Members and children under 5 are free.
Speaker tickets include admission to take part in a house tour through the period rooms of the Museum for visitors who sign up for a tour during the afternoon. Visitors can also enjoy the "Thomas Nast: President Maker and Campaign Breaker", and the "American Heroes in Bronze" exhibits prior to the presentation. Galleries close at 4:30pm.
Macculloch Hall Historical Museum preserves the history of the Macculloch-Miller families, the Morris area community, and the legacy of its founder W. Parsons Todd through its historic site, collections, exhibits, and educational and cultural programs.
The Museum is open for house and exhibit tours on Wednesdays, Thursdays & Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. The last tour leaves at 3pm. Adults $8; Seniors & Students $6; Children 6 – 12 $4. Members and children under 5 are free. The gardens are open (free of charge) during Museum hours.
Check the website for any holiday closings. Call 973-538-2404, ext. 10, visit www.maccullochhall.org or find us on Facebook.
Macculloch Hall Historical Museum, 45 Macculloch Ave., Morristown.
Macculloch Hall Historical Museum is a nonprofit educational affiliate of the W. Parsons Todd Foundation.

Fighting to Hold Damascus, Syria Flattens Rebel 'Slums'
DAMASCUS—All that remains of Abu Mohammed's ancestral home here in Syria's capital are two small adobe brick rooms and a few fig, loquat and mulberry trees.
It was bulldozed as part of a government slum-clearance program that appears to have a political motive: isolate neighborhoods sympathetic to Syria's armed insurrection, and then obliterate them, according to critics, human-rights groups and even some officials within the government itself. "We are like gypsies now," says Mr. Mohammed, who took his wife and five children to another part of the city after sections of his neighborhood, Qaboun—one of the first to rise up against Syria's regime—were flattened and ringed by military posts.
The campaign stands in contrast to the all-out urban warfare in the northern city of Aleppo. Here in the capital, Damascus, the strategy appears designed to cripple and disperse the rebels through the destruction and encirclement of communities where they operate.
Syria in the Spotlight
Take a look back over the highlights of the past year in Syria in a timeline, and review the latest events in a map.
For the regime of President Bashar al-Assad, the stakes in Damascus are nothing short of retaining control of the nation itself. "If they lose Damascus, they lose the state," says Patrick Seale, a British author and Syria expert.
Senior security officials within the Assad regime say partial demolitions of pro-rebel neighborhoods in and around Damascus are a key element of an ambitious counterinsurgency plan now unfolding. The plan also involves the expansion of regime-funded militias known as "Popular Committees" within the capital.
These officials say the strategy applies lessons learned from other offensives against the rebels since the start of the conflict more than 20 months ago, most notably in the central city of Homs.
The government's official position is that the destruction is part of a long-discussed master plan to rid Damascus of illegal slums. City officials say illegal settlements account for nearly 20% of the capital's 26,500 acres.
Based on several extended visits to Damascus and vicinity last month—some of which coincided with demolition by military authorities—the destruction appears to be occurring only in areas where opposition fighters have been active. In addition, much of it has been overseen by the military rather than municipal authorities, residents say.
"There's still work to be done, we are not finished yet with cleansing operations that are in response to popular demand," says Hussein Makhlouf, a relative of Mr. Assad and governor of Rif Damascus, the province surrounding the capital.
In his Damascus office, Mr. Makhlouf praised the government's official slum-destruction decree, known as "presidential decree No. 66," as a model for urban renewal. He said demolitions will soon begin in Daraya, Harasta and Yalda, all suburbs that have been at the center of the insurgency against Mr. Assad. Mr. Makhlouf was forthright about the motives behind the demolitions, saying they were essential to drive out rebels, or "terrorists" as he called them.
Syria's uprising began largely as a peaceful protest in early 2011 against a regime that has been in power for more than 42 years. Brutal suppression of the demonstrators gradually turned the opposition into a civil war that is now by far the bloodiest of the Arab Spring rebellions.
Some estimates of the dead approach 40,000. Syria's regime hasn't issued its own official number, but typically its estimates of death tolls from individual incidents are lower.
The rebels are largely members of Syria's Sunni Muslim majority. They are battling government loyalists belonging to minority groups like the Alawites, a sect linked to the Shiite branch of Islam. The Damascus neighborhood of Qaboun, where Abu Mohammed's home was bulldozed, is predominantly Sunni.
Some Syrian government officials say the slum-clearance tactics are needed to save the city from what they see as terrorist gangs linked to al Qaeda and backed by Sunni Arab states like Saudi Arabia.
The insurgency intensified in July when four senior security leaders, including President Assad's brother-in-law, were assassinated in a bombing. Rebels used the bombing to launch an all-out offensive in Aleppo, Syria's commercial center. Fighters there entered the city via neighborhoods where sympathizers live and based their operations there.
Here in the capital, the regime appears to be trying to block a similar situation. Parts of Syria's new strategy have been coordinated with its ally Iran and with Hezbollah in neighboring Lebanon, according to government officials as well as residents in affected areas who claim Hezbollah loyalties and have ties to Popular Committees.
The strategy is based around the creation of what the regime calls "Popular Committees." These are formed from loyalists drawn from Syria's minority populations—Alawites, Christians, Druze, Shiite Muslims and Palestinian refugees—who fear the predominantly Sunni rebels and remain dependent on Mr. Assad's regime for security and patronage.
Hezbollah has denied any active role in Syria. Iran confirmed in September that it was helping Mr. Assad set up the Popular Committees.
Members of the Popular Committees are armed by the government, paid monthly salaries and given food rations. Using these well-armed militias, the regime has carved Damascus and its suburbs into contained security areas.
Entire sections of the capital have been leveled in the past few months. In the southwestern district of Mezze, homes and shops of known Sunni opposition families in a section called Mezze Basateen are being razed. Meanwhile, an illegal all-Alawite settlement on a nearby hilltop known as Mezze 86 remains untouched by wrecking crews, although it was hit this month by several devastating bombs claimed by rebels.
On a recent morning in mid-October, soldiers from the Syrian Army's Fourth Division, commanded by Mr. Assad's brother Maher, oversaw demolition in Zulaikha, a patch of nearly 24 acres of apartments in the Tadamoun neighborhood on the capital's southern fringe.
"Go, go!" shouted a soldier as a grim-faced family packed into a pickup truck weighed down with belongings—furniture, foam mattresses, a satellite dish—they salvaged from their apartment. "We are going to blow up a building now!" the soldier said as the truck pulled away.
Another soldier nearby said the residents were among the lucky ones. "Not everyone is being allowed in to take their possessions," he said. Security and army checkpoints now ring Tadamoun.
Damascus Gov. Bisher al-Sabban, the chief administrator of the city itself, says the demolitions have nothing to do with the conflict. They are part of a grand modernization scheme in the works since 2008, he says. "It is demolition and reorganization," said Mr. Sabban. "It has nothing to do with Alawite-Sunni at all."
He said all people affected will be given rent money in the interim and eventually new apartments in rebuilt neighborhoods. Nearly $7 billion will be spent on infrastructure, he said. As of mid-October, none of that spending or construction had yet materialized, he said.
Outside Mr. Sabban's office, cranes installed concrete barriers as part of security measures that are turning central Damascus into a Syrian version of Baghdad's Green Zone, the fortified seat of the government in the center of the Iraqi capital. "The situation is very difficult," said one senior security official.
The official, a member of the Alawite minority at the regime's core, said the government wouldn't be fighting for its survival in Damascus had Mr. Assad used more force earlier in the crisis. He recalled one of his heroes, Mr. Assad's late father, Hafez Assad, and—tears welling up at the memory—said Syria wouldn't be in this mess if he were still alive. The elder Mr. Assad in 1977 to 1982 faced a Sunni-led insurrection that he crushed.
The regime's latest counterinsurgency plan in Damascus appears to be working so far. Yet it is fast changing the capital's fabric and deepening sectarian divides.
Routine movement can be harrowing. Recently a couple taking their daughter and two grandchildren to a doctor's appointment waved a white flag to pass through the checkpoint that divides one district from another.
The family is Sunni and lives in a part of town known as Hajeera, once a mixed area but now all Sunni. The men at the checkpoint were members of the Popular Committee in the enclave of Seyda Zeinab, now an almost exclusively Shiite Muslim area near a shrine of the same name.
Shiite residents recount being chased out of Hajeera in July by their Sunni neighbors. Stories of kidnappings and killings abound. "I am vengeful toward all Sunnis," said Amira al-Masri, explaining that her 70-year-old mother was shot dead in September for venturing into Hajeera to get blankets from their abandoned home.
Asaad Taha, a retired army officer, said his 17-year-old son Ali was kidnapped with a friend in September when they accidentally strayed into Hajeera on motorbike. Both were found days later, beheaded, he said, showing what he said was video footage of the attack on his cellphone.
Sunni communities seethe with similar hostility and anger. "May God annihilate them," said one resident of Qaboun as a military jet roared above.

Tweetable Moments
"A true entrepreneur is a masochist." -@jaffejuice (tweet this)
"We're not saying start-ups are the next big thing; start-ups always were the big thing." -@jaffejuice (tweet this)
Doing the "Real Work"
There are two types of entrepreneurs. One type is the Mark Zuckerberg entrepreneur, who says, "Don't come near me; this is my vision." Joe is not that kind of entrepreneur. He is the creator type of entrepreneur, the one who is not afraid to fail, the one who wants primarily to give back to the community and the world.
This was the paradigm that drove the start of Evol8tion. Evol8tion connects brands with early stage startups to provide technology solutions to business problems. A big part of this is education, and it's "educate across what we call the entire innovation continuum: digital, social, mobile and emerging."
Some of these big brands have problems – needing insight on technology and startup trends, not being able to harness new media as well as they want, etc – that start-ups are already solving. Evol8tion brings the match-making process that allows these businesses to help each other. Like the Social Pros Podcast, it's about the real work, not the hot-air-filled talking heads.
Joe's upcoming book (released October 14th) Z.E.R.O.: Zero Paid Media as the New Marketing Model also puts its money where its mouth is; they raised the money to print it through Kickstarter but didn't keep any of the $50,000+ raised for themselves. After all, then the book wouldn't be zero paid media at all.
With the inflation in media outpacing economic inflation, at some point there will have to be a collapse. The hope with the book is that maybe we can avert that collapse by slowing down the media inflation.
Otherwise, "brands are not going to be able to afford to be able to buy the minimum acceptable level of reach in traditional channels, let alone non-traditional channels, to be able to achieve their goals."
In exciting podcast news, Evol8tion acquired BeanCast this summer, thus expanding their owned media. The BeanCast is a popular marketing podcast where Joe regularly guests, and Joe also has his own podcast about new marketing called Jaffe Juice. Check them both out for invaluable wisdom and insights.
Four Your Information
How did you get involved with social media?
"It was a natural evolution from being a digital guy," Joe says. He started a blog and podcast in 2005 because he wanted to be out front, embracing new technology. He also wanted to be able to talk intelligently about those platforms in Life After the 30-Second Spot: Energize Your Brand with a Mix of Alternatives to Traditional Advertising.
What do you like best about social media?
Joe believes in the power of response and responsiveness. Being able to reach out to an author or famous person, to engage with them in real time, is something completely unprecedented and very exciting.
What do you like least about social media?
Everyone is always in search of the Next Big Thing, so some of the best parts of social media – like direct to consumer blogs – get forgotten. Joe calls it "Next Big Thing Syndrome."
If you could do a Skype call with any living person, who would it be?
"There no one," Joe says, "that I really want to talk to besides the people, quite frankly, that I'm talking to right now." By being in the moment and being open to it, "you can just have these incredible conversations" with people who are like you and people who are drastically different.
See you next week!

Good news, lease-phobes: you can now acquire a brand-new 2011 Lexus LFA sports car without being tied to the automaker's lease program.
Lexus representatives confirmed with us this afternoon that there are now three means of acquiring a brand-new LFA. In addition to Lexus' 24-month, 1Pay lease program, buyers can also obtain retail financing for the $375,000 supercar, or purchase the vehicle outright.
Those last two options were reportedly added at the end of June in response to customers seeking some flexibility in acquiring an LFA. That said, both options carry a legal caveat: if the owner decides to sell, re-lease, or transfer ownership of the car within two years of delivery, they must give the original Lexus dealer first refusal to re-acquire the vehicle.
We're not too surprised to see such a rider attached to the purchase plan. After all, Lexus' original idea for the LFA was to initially lease it to select customers for two years, allowing the automaker to curb speculation and third-party markup for used LFAs. Brian Smith, Lexus' vice president of sales, once said the brand wanted people out driving the car and not just "parking it in a museum or selling it at an inflated price."
Sounds fine to us — we'd love to see owners exercising the sweet 4.8-liter, 552-horsepower V-10 out on the open road or track, just as Toyota's engineers intended.

Watch: 'Finding Nemo' and 'WALL-E' director Andrew Stanton talks about bringing 'John Carter' to life
My last interview this week for Disney's "John Carter" is with the man charged to finally bring this 100-year-old character to life on the big screen, Andrew Stanton.
First, let me just say that anyone whose favorite film is "Lawrence Of Arabia" is okay by me, and especially when you can see that so clearly in the film they've made. I'm not sure I ever would have made the connection between that film and the work of Edgar Rice Burroughs. It feels natural when you see how Stanton does it, though, and that was just one of the things we discussed when we sat down at the Boulders resort in Carefree, Arizona, to talk about his movie.
Stanton is a great spokesman for his film, and I feel like the Pixar team that's been part of the company from the start is the contemporary equivalent of the group of filmmakers in the '70s who helped create the blockbuster in the first place. There was that explosion of creativity that came from guys like Lucas and Spielberg and De Palma and Scorsese and that entire peer group, and watching how their work evolved over the decades since that first amazing wave of films has been impressive. The Pixar team is now starting to move into live-action, and seeing how they maintain their voice, I'm starting to believe there's nothing these guys can't do.
The ultimate fate of "John Carter" won't be decided this weekend. All the opening weekend box-office is going to do is prove that Disney botched the marketing of the film. What's going to really tell the story of whether or not Stanton succeeded is the way the film settles into public opinion over time. Good movies have a long tail as people see them and share them and as they eventually find the people who should have seen them in the first place.
If you need any further convincing, check out my review of the film. We've also run interviews all week, including Taylor Kitsch, Dominic West, Lynn Collins, and Willem Dafoe. I hope you see this if for no other reason than so I can take that second trip to Barsoom in a few years.
"John Carter" opens tomorrow.

George Zimmerman defense fund almost out of money
Attorneys ask for $120,000
The George Zimmerman Defense Fund says it only has $5,000 left in its trust account and it needs $75,000 more at the bare minimum to "give George a fighting chance."
His attorneys said they have $20,000 in liabilities. They have received $26,000 in the past two months, which was less than they needed.

They said they'll need thousands of dollars for transcripts of depositions and experts.

Their goal is to raise $120,000 from public donations before his second-degree murder trial begins June 10.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Yarn Weight
|Fingering (4 ply)
What materials did you use? Luxury Sock Yarn60% superwash wool, 30% nylon, 10% cashmereVery soft yarn in fingering weight
What are you most proud of? The Kitchener stitch on the toes seemed to come out OK after I ripped out my first attempts. I finally got it looking pretty decent. I learned a lot and enjoyed the course immensely, and love my soft socks despite their problems.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Make the cuff small enough to be snug. Next time I'd make a longer cuff to roll over. Don't bother with using a pattern stitch in self-striping yarn. I didn't realize this was a self-striping yarn, I thought it was bits of color here and there like some of the smaller sections between stripes. I wouldn't have used a pattern if I had known the yarn would stripe, and the design would disappear. This lacy design with this soft yarn really stretches too much, a different yarn would be a better choice with this design. I've learned I don't like the holes in my socks from the lacy pattern, so I stopped doing it after finishing with the gusset stitches, it was supposed to go all the way to the toes. I should have done a swatch in the pattern stitch, next time I'll make sure to do one. I would have seen the striping and the loose holes with this yarn.

Are you feeling a little confused as to why this "Year of the Snake" looking Nike SB Dunk Low has been labeled as a 2014 release? Keep in mind that the 2014 Chinese New Year doesn't hit until January 31st, meaning that they could still arrive after the calender flips and technically make it into the Year of the Snake.

The night of April 2, 1962, Gov. David L. Lawrence shuffled papers at his desk in Harrisburg, somberly awaiting what would turn out to be Pennsylvania's last execution in 33 years.
Attorney General David Stahl paced uncomfortably in an adjoining office, watched by Lawrence's secretary and Saul Kohler, an Inquirer reporter whose deadline approached. No one spoke.
About 100 miles away in Bellefonte, guards at Rockview Penitentiary, as the State Correctional Institution at Rockview was then known, strapped a freshly shaved murderer named Elmo Lee Smith into the great, solid-oak electric chair where 349 men and women had died since 1915. A chaplain loudly chanted ''Nearer My God to Thee." An open telephone line connected the governor to the death chamber.

Everyone likes a hero, but there's something unforgettable about a truly great villain.
Two iconic villains are currently dominating the box office: Godzilla and Maleficent.
In honor of these two evildoers and their dominance, this week's Head2Head Trivia is all about the bad guy, or gal in some cases.
Our current trivia champ, Candace Wilcox, is being challenged by Josh Gerber who's traveling across the country this summer.
1. Largely unseen for the first half of the movie, what villain stalks Amity Island to the accompaniment of an ominous musical score?
2. What Shakespeare villain is described by his nephew, who's grappling with the murder of his father, as a "bloody, bawdy villain"?
3. What motel proprietor seems like a nice guy until he stabs his guest in the shower?
4. What superhero arch-nemesis is known for his sadistic sense of humor and gets his name from a playing card?
5. The ultimate intergalactic villain in a black cape, what ruthless enforcer makes a shocking confession to the hero who's part of the resistance?
6. Which fantasy villain searches ceaselessly for one particular object, its eye "... was rimmed with fire, but was itself glazed, yellow as a cat's, watchful and intent, and the black slit of its pupil opened on a pit, a window into nothing"?
7. What James Bond villain was frequently seen stroking a white cat?
8. Who was described as "the most powerful dark wizard that ever lived," but met his match in a boy with glasses?
9. Who is the ultimate narcissist, plotting to kill the heroine solely because a mirror told her she's not the most beautiful anymore?
10. Obsessed over a pair of red shoes, what villain has an army of winged monkeys to do her bidding?
1. I'm pretty sure it's Jaws.
2. Could it be Hamlet's uncle, Claudius?
3. Norman Bates
4. I really don't know.
5. Darth Vader?
6. I'm not familiar with this one either.
7. Funny, the only thing I can think of is Austin Powers and Mr. Bigglesworth.
8. This one I know: Voldemort.
9. The Queen from "Snow White."
10. The Wicked Witch of the West
1. Jaws. Or whatever the shark's name is.
2. No idea.
3. The guy from "Psycho" - Norman Bates.
4. The Joker
5. Darth Vader
6. No idea.
7. Can't think of his name.
8. Lord Voldemort from "Harry Potter."
9. Is this from "Snow White"? The Queen, I guess.
10. This is from "The Wizard of Oz": The Wicked Witch of the West.
This week's Head2Head trivia competition ends in a tie between our two contestants. They'll both return next week in a tie-breaker to see who'll be the Head2Head champ.
1. Jaws (aka Bruce the Shark)
2. King Claudius
3. Norman Bates
4. The Joker
5. Darth Vader
6. The Eye of Sauron
7. Ernst Stavro Blofeld
8. Lord Voldemort
9. The Queen in "Snow White"
10. The Wicked Witch of the West

Now, actor Curtis Armstrong, better known as Dudley "Booger" Dawson, reflects back on what makes the film resonate today, and shares his most memorable – and grossest – fan encounter.
Did you ever think Revenge of the Nerds would be so iconic 30 years later?
At the time I questioned whether it was going to come out at all! There wasn't a lot of enthusiasm at the time, and it sort of faded away until it got this second life because of cable and then video and now DVD.
It's now become this huge thing, and it was actually just last year that it suddenly dawned on me that we were coming up on the 30th year anniversary, and it's astonishing to me that it's been that long. And here we are all these years later, and people still really love the nerds! That's pretty wonderful.
Your character, Booger, was quite quotable. What lines will you always remember?
If it's a question of popularity, the line would be, "We've got bush." It's the big one for him. I don't know if I have a particular favorite one, but I have to go based on what lines people yell at me from across the street!
When was the last time someone yelled a Booger quote at you?
Well, the last time I left my house would be the answer. It happens all the time! I also get a lot of it when I make appearances at screenings or conventions. People will ask for an autograph, and they will ask me to write something horrible on the picture because it's their favorite line.
What was your most horrific autograph request?
A couple of years ago I met a woman who had a picture of me as Booger, and she wanted me to sign it ... but she also wanted me to put one of my boogers on the picture. She seemed like a perfectly normal woman, but she actually asked me to do it, and I said, "I am not going to do that!" And she said, "Oh come on! I'll pay you!" I had to draw the line at sharing mucus.
Who from the cast do you keep in touch with?
I'm doing a TV show with Robert Carradine right now on TBS called King of the Nerds, which is a comedy reality show that is sort of based on the idea of Revenge of the Nerds, so as a result of that I see Robert all the time. And because of the anniversary, I've been seeing a lot of the others too. I see Brian Tochi often, I see Larry B. Scott, I see Julie Montgomery, Andrew Cassese, Tim Busfield.
We've kept in touch pretty well over the years. Every once in a while we'll get together for a drink or something, and it's nice to have stayed in touch with people for that long.
Evan Agostini / Invision / AP
Well there are quite a lot of them, including some that I was involved with. Dodgeball has some of those elements in it, and Van Wilder is another one. There are a lot of movies that have come out that have a tip of the hat to '80s movies in general.
Do you consider yourself to be a nerd?
Oh totally. I was useless at sports, I could never get a date, and I was a passionate book nerd. I was also a Beatles nerd, and I loved Star Trek. I was a devoted Sherlock Holmes fan and I still am, so I had those nerd qualities.
Courtesy Twentieth Century FOX
I think the underlying message has to do with tolerance, acceptance and embracing people no matter what their race or their creed or their color or, as Larry B. says in the movie, their sexual orientation. All of that stuff is still incredibly important now. The Nerd movie was an example of when you could see people genuinely coming together for a greater good.
You're now on New Girl, where Zooey Deschanel's character totally embraces being "adorkable." How do you feel about people now embracing being labeled a nerd or a dork 30 years later?
I think it's great! There's an entire fan base of people that don't have a problem revealing themselves to be nerds. They relish it, and they're proud of being nerds. And then you have a woman like Zooey Deschanel who is so gifted and so talented, and she is a nerd and she's proud of it, so why not announce it?
Revenge of the Nerds will be available on Blu-ray May 6.

- Lewis Hamilton holds off Nico Rosberg as Mercedes dominate once more - read full the race report here
The Bahrain Grand Prix has arrived with Mercedes looking to continue their early-season dominance with a third successive victory.
Lewis Hamilton dominated in Malaysia last time out, following up teammate Nico Rosberg's season-opening success in Australia.
Rosberg currently holds the Championship lead (43 points) with Hamilton 18 points back on 25, and Rosberg claimed pole position in qualifying as he looks to extend his lead.
Hamilton joins him on the front row, with Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo and the Williams of Valtteri Bottas starting third and fourth respectively.
Jenson Button's McLaren begins in eighth, the Ferrari of Fernando Alonso in 10th and four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel starts in 11th. Can he claim victory in the Middle East for a third successive year?
Keep it here to find out and for all the action in the third Grand Prix of the 2014 season.
Before the action here's a few quick hits to get you in the mood:
Sir Jackie Stewart has told Lewis Hamilton to beware his Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg - who he reckons can be the new Alain Prost.
Mercedes have warned the pair that they aren't solo artists however, and must work together for the good of the team.
And F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone has declared the current F1 formula is "unacceptable" - and that change is needed.
As previously mentioned, German starlet Nico Rosberg leads the Drivers Championship with 43 points, 18 ahead of his Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton (25).
Further back, Fernando Alonso sits third with 24, Jenson Button has 23 and his McLaren colleague Kevin Magnussen has posted 20 points so far.
The top eight looks like this:
1. Nico Rosberg - Mercedes - 43 Points
2. Lewis Hamilton - Mercedes - 25
3. Fernando Alonso - Ferrari - 24
4. Jenson Button - McLaren - 23
5. Kevin Magnussen - McLaren - 20
6. Nico Hulkenberg - Force India - 18
7. Sebastian Vettel - Red Bull - 15
8. Valtteri Bottas - Williams - 14
And in the Constructors table, unsurprisingly, it's Mercedes that lead the way:
1. Mercedes - 68 points
2. McLaren - 43
3. Ferrari - 30
4. Williams - 20
5. Force India - 19
6. Red Bull - 15
7. Toro Rosso - 7
Sauber, Lotus, Marussia and Caterham remain scoreless.
It's been 10 years since Bahrain's International Circuit debuted as an F1 venue - when it became the first F1 race in the Middle East.

Winner that day? A certain Michael Schumacher.
With less than 30 minutes to go until the action gets underway and with the pit lane having opened up their doors, here's a look at the starting grid:
1) Nico Rosberg 2) Lewis Hamilton
3) Valtteri Bottas 4) Sergio Perez
5) Kimi Raikkonen 6) Jenson Button
7) Felipe Massa 8) Kevin Magnussen
9) Fernando Alonso 10) Sebastian Vettel
11) Nico Hülkenberg 12) Daniil Kvyat
13) Daniel Ricciardo* 14) Jean-Eric Vergne
15)Esteban Gutierrez 16) Romain Grosjean
17) Pastor Maldonado 18) Kamui Kobayashi
19) Jules Bianchi 20) Marcus Ericsson
21) Max Chilton 22) Adrian Sutil*
*Daniel Ricciardo starts 13th having qualified third, after an unsafe release in Malaysia - something teammate Vettel reckons was harsh
*Sauber's Adrian Sutil starts at the back of the grid after being handed a five-place penalty and two penalty points for holding Romain Grosjean up in an "unsafe manner" during qualifying.
Fernando Alonso has three wins in Bahrain to his name - 2005, 2006 and 2010. No one else has more.
Ferrari have four wins here also - 2004, 2007, 2008, 2010 - and no other team has more.
Alonso starts ninth on the grid and teammate Kimi Raikkonen begins in fifth.
Further success today perhaps?
Cats like F1 too.
I knew there was a reason I liked the Bahrain circuit ;) #F1 #Bahrain2014 pic.twitter.com/JSC96pVO5d— The Pit Lane Cat (@ThePitLaneCat) April 6, 2014
One last quick piece before the action, and it's some interesting words from F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone, concerning next season and some new teams.
So, we're edging closer to the start at the Bahrain
battle for Mercedes supremacy Grand Prix...Should be good!!
Cross-branding at its finest:
NYEEEEEEEEEEAUMMMMMM! It's the Bahrain Grand Prix live http://t.co/YBZIHpZqzE #F1— Mirror Football (@MirrorFootball) April 6, 2014
We're underway....
And Lewis Hamilton has nipped in front of his teammate Nico Rosberg.
Elsewhere, Felipe Massa's made an excellent start, moving up to third, while Fernando Alonso's risen to seventh.
Jean-Eric Vergne has suffered a nightmare start.
A flat tyre means the Toro Rosso was straight in for repairs and he's now in last place.
Elsewhere, Kimi Raikkonen's not too happy. He's told his team "Magnussen hit me again!"
It's all calm at the front now. The two Mercedes' are enjoying their drive out in first and second.
Further back, the Force India's aren't having a bad time either.
Sebastian Perez is sitting quite happily in fourth while Nico Hulkenberg has overtaken Fernando Alonso and moved into seventh!
Three successive races now that Alonso has found himself battling with Hulkenberg...he shouldn't make him angry
Sebastian Perez's Force India is having a crack at the Williams of Felipe Massa.
The Mexican has moved 0.9 seconds behind the Brazilian now and seems to be fancying his chances.
A sweet move from Jenson Button's Mercedes sees the Brit move into fifth, ahead of Valtteri Bottas.
And Bottas was then immediately overtaken by Hulkenberg's Force India, who moves into sixth.
The Williams' have now both had a 'mare, as Felipe Massa drops to fourth.
The Force is strong (ha) with the Force India's Perez flies round Massa and then fends him off.
Both Force India's are looking strong and quick here.
Points-wise, they could score big today.
Sebastian Vettel's having problems in sixth with his DRS, and is now being pressured by his teammate Daniel Ricciardo in a battle for sixth.
Felipe Massa's had a particularly slow pit stop and Andrea Sutil is being investigated - along with Jules Bianchi - after a collision at Turn One.
Sutil's Sauber headed off the track after TWO clashes with Bianchi's Marussia.
It's all action, all over.
Vettel's come in, while Perez has come in and dropped to fifth.
Jenson Button's now up to third and Daniel Ricciardo up to fourth.
Nico Hulkenberg's already pitted and now he's making moves...when everyone's taken their turn, he could well be up in third!
They were told to be friends, but Hamilton and Rosberg are going for this.
Rosberg tried to take Hamilton for the lead, but the Brit aggressively fought back to reclaim his lead.
Make no mistake, they both fancy a win here....
And then Rosberg makes another move, only for Hamilton to fend him off on Lap 19 again!!
This is one heck of a battle...but if they get any closer, there'll be trouble.

Welcome, sailors!
Buffalo Navy Week officially kicks off today with free tours of the four military vessels in town for the celebration, a concert by the U.S. Marine Corps Brass Band, sailors in 1812 period costume at Canalside and a boat parade.
The U.S, Navy frigate, USS De Wert, arrived at about 4 p.m. Tuesday and is now docked at Gateway Terminal in Lackawanna. The Canadian vessel, HMCS Ville de Quebec, also arrived and is also at Gateway Terminal.
Two other ships, the U.S. Coast Guard icebreaking tug Katmai Bay and the USS Hurricane, a Navy patrol ship, will be docked at Canalside today.
Tours of all four ships are free and begin at noon today. To get on the De Wert or Ville de Quebec, visitors must take a shuttle from the Buffalo & Erie County Naval & Military Park.
At Canalside, members of the Coast Guard will do a presentation in 1812 period costumes from noon to 5 p.m. Also members of the U.S. Constitution will perform period gun deck presentations from 1 to 4 p.m.
At noon, the U.S. Marines Brass Band will perform on the front ramp of the Downtown Central Library at 1 Lafayette Square.
At 2 p.m. today the Brig Niagara tall ship is set to arrive at Canalside, next to the Naval Park. Tours of the tall ship will be held Thursday through Sunday - tickets are $6 for adults, $4 for children 12 and under. Children under 4 are free. A limited number of tickets to sail on the vessel are available for Sept. 17 at flagshipniagara.org.
At 3 p.m. today, an opening ceremony will be held on the main stage at Canalside with remarks by Rear Adm. Gregory M. Nosal of the U.S. Navy, Mayor Byron W. Brown, Niagara 1812 Bicentennial Legacy Council CEO Brian Merritt and local dignitaries. The ceremony will include an exchange of gifts, 1812 reenactors and the singing of both the U.S. and Canadian national anthems.
Following the ceremony, there will be a "Greet the Fleet" boat parade in Buffalo River at Canalside. Old Fort Niagara's cannon will fire to begin the boat parade which will be led by the Edward M. Cotter Fireboat and the Navy's operational support center's patrol boat. About 100 local boaters are expected to participate. Registration for boaters to participate is $50 per vessel.
Those who don't have a vote can buy tickets for $35 per person to ride the Miss Buffalo. Tickets are available at the Naval gift shop or by calling 847-1773, Ext. 10.
All events associated with the military, including tours of the military vessels, are free. There is an admission charge for other events, including entry into the Naval park museum and tours of the tall ship.

An easygoing, relaxed person who is the best friend anyone could ask for. Kates are often very random but are the most loyal people in the world. If ever something bothers you, Kate is the one to go to, as she will always have good advice and can make any situation less awkward by saying something totally random and usually sex-related. Her mind can be slightly sick but you love her for it. Kates are genuinely lovely people who will always remain friends for life.

Failure to Feed, I think.
It's when the weapon manages to shoot just fine, but fails to cycle back into battery for the next shot.
Or it could be Failure to Fire, which is more serious...
September 29, 2005, 12:43 PM
Face to Face transaction for selling, buying, trading.
Otherwise it could mean Failure to Feed or Failure to Fire if someone is griping about a certain gun.

When talking about a gun problem, I wish people would spell out "FTF" and "FTE". "FTF" can mean both Failure to Feed and Failure to Fire, obviously two entirely different conditions. Likewise, "FTE" can mean both Failure to Extract and Failure to Eject. So, if you are asking for help in solving a problem, please save some time and frustration by spelling out the trouble. Using abbreviations may seem "cool" and part of being "in", but sometimes it is just plain dumb.

June 25, 2005
The number, scope and influence of regional collaborative arrangements have increased at a fascinating rate in the last decade, particularly within the array of EU regional policies and programs. The current paper thus aims to provide both scholars and practitioners with an "analytical tool", or a "checklist" of sort to think thoroughly the critical determinants of "collaborative performance" as well as the most appropriate criteria for evaluating it.

Barbeque Pulled Pork
Barbeque Pulled Pork
Pulled pork
has traditionally been a form of barbeque from the southern states, but over the last few years the popularity of
pulled pork
has grown. It's not unusual to find pulled pork sandwiches and other dishes on the menus of family restaurants and diners in more northern states.
Pulled pork
is generally prepared from a shoulder cut or mixed cuts using a low temperature slow cooking method. The name "pulled" comes from the fact that as a result of the cooking method the pork becomes so tender that it can easily pulled apart into smaller pieces. There is very little fat left on the
pulled pork
meat because it melts away during the cooking process.
In states such as North Carolina the
pulled pork
is served with a vinegar-based sauce or no sauce at all. On the other hand, the people from states such as Tennessee prefer their
pulled pork
in a tomato-based barbeque sauce. In any case, the
pulled pork
is typically served on a bun or and as main entrée item with other Southern side dishes.
Various regions have their favorite recipes for
pulled pork
and each will argue that theirs is the best. As a matter of fact, during the era of American history when the settlers were establishing a life, a Texan risked being thrown out the door of a Carolina home if he dared to pronounce the virtues of beef barbeque over
pulled pork
. In the South, pork was synonymous with barbeque.
Karn Meats uses strict HACCP rules for preparing
pulled pork
just the way you want it for your restaurant or dining establishment. We can customize the sauce and seasonings to suit your clientele and give them a reliable
pulled pork
product every time. An important advantage of a pre-cooked product is the fact that you can achieve a better food cost because there is no loss that occurs during reheating. Please call us today at 1-800-221-9585 to place your order for custom wholesale

MSD Ignition DIS Ignition Controls
DIS Ignitions feature the race proven capacitive discharge, multiple spark design of the MSD 6 Series Ignitions. Each spark of the MSD Digital DIS Ignitions is packed with up to 115 millijoules of spark energy, resulting in more efficient combustion to produce more power. To improve low speed throttle response, smooth out the idle and stop low speed spark plug fouling our engineers included MSD's proven multiple spark discharge feature. This race tested design produces a series of full power sparks that last for 20° of crankshaft rotation to ensure complete combustion of the fuel mixture!
The MSD DIS Ignition Controls are an incredible breakthrough for late model Mustangs, Grand Nationals, Talons, Mitsubishi GT 3000s and a list of other DIS Ignition equipped vehicles. With the proven MSD Ignition high speed RISC microcontroller technology and years of performance ignition experience, the MSD DIS Ignition Controls will make a great addition to your car!
Soft Touch REV Control - The DIS-2 and DIS-4 feature an adjustable built-in Soft Touch Rev Control to protect the engine from overrev damage caused by missed shifts or broken driveline components. This feature produces a smooth rev-limiting action by randomly dropping one cylinder at a time and then refiring that cylinder on the next firing cycle. This feature is easily adjusted with simple program switches mounted on the side of the unit.
Two Step Module Selector - The Two Step function of the MSD Digital DIS Ignition allows you to activate a low RPM limit while staging and waiting for the light to turn green. This popular feature gives you a distinct advantage over your competition by permitting you to control your engine's RPM precisely before every launch. With a fixed RPM limit at the starting line, each launch will be consistent and quick! The RPM limit is easy to adjust in 250 RPM increments with switches built into the side of the housing.
Programmable Timing Control - Precise timing control is essential to producing maximum engine power. With the addition of nitrous, turbos or supercharger systems, timing becomes even more critical. To get the most out of your engine, the ignition must be able to compensate for these extreme changes in cylinder pressure throughout the engine's entire RPM range. During low speed operation, the MSD DIS Ignitions use the factory ignition to control basic timing functions. Once maximum timing is achieved, the DIS-2 and DIS-4 can be programmed to retard the timing at a specific rate and RPM point to prevent engine damage due to detonation caused by excessive timing.
LED Monitor - Built-in LED monitor is a useful tool to determine the status of the charging and ignition systems. When the battery voltage drops below 8 volts, the LED will begin flashing at a rate of two times per second, letting you know that the charging system is not operating properly or that the battery has failed. Also, if any of the ignition's channels lose their trigger input, the LED will flash at a rate of one flash per second.
Ignition Interrupt - To prevent accidental or unauthorized starting of the vehicle, the MSD DIS Ignition systems feature a driver activated ignition interrupt feature that can be used as an anti-theft device. When activated, this feature will prevent the engine from starting.

An end to stupid neologisms
"there's a temperature excursion"
So a temperature (an abstract measure of entropic energy) goes on an organised tour?
Dear sir, your brain might well be at least twice effective as my own. But will that really help?
Google's massively global infrastructure now employs a proprietary system that automatically moves and replicates loads between its mega data centers when traffic and hardware issues arise. The distributed technology was first hinted at — in classically coy Google fashion — during a conference this summer, and Google fellow …
"there's a temperature excursion"
So a temperature (an abstract measure of entropic energy) goes on an organised tour?
Dear sir, your brain might well be at least twice effective as my own. But will that really help?
Well, it's not as atrocious as the further usage in "When the temperature starts to excurse in a data center". Hm... sounds familiar... Oh, the same paragraphs-long quotation already appeared 12 days ago on ElReg, http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/10/12/microsoft_and_google_without_chillers/
At least they are only destroying American and not English.
Forget Skynet, when the machines get intelligent they're going to enslave humanity and force feed us ad-sense. (SHUDDER!)
Why use an imprecise neologism, "excurse" when there is a perfectly good existing word, "rise" that also tells you which direction its going in? Or do they dump load when a data centre gets too cool as well?
Anyway, he must be paid by the word...
"When the temperature starts to excurse in a data center" 10 words
"When a data centre gets hot" 6 words

Oh, and "load shedding"? Isn't that what you do a couple of hours after dinner?
Alright, alright, I'm gone.
"Imagine that. A single corporation housing an exabyte of the world's data across thousands of custom-built data centers."

.. due to a spanner in the works.
Look, someone had to say it. Yes, yes, I'm going, the flasher Mac please..
10^7 So one server per 600 people of the population, one per 150 of all the computers ever sold, and one per 50 of users with broadband?
Who can out bullshit the other Google or Bing?
Even 10^6 is far far more than you need, which is why the claimed number stopped being officially released back at about 20k machines. Even with the new services you're looking at less than 10^5 and as servers are replaced by newer models that number will drop. (e.g. 6 years life span, processing power doubles each year, well under 10^4 just from machines expiring and being replaced with newer models).
You see similar patterns everywhere, take a look at that Racal Recorders voice recorder from the GCHQ story. 480 channels now, where it had 4 or 8 back when Labour came into power.
I worked out 50 of those would be needed to record all of the UKs telephone calls! 50! Incredible how threatening technology has become, just in the space of 2 electoral terms.
With technology like that and a government afraid of it's people, be very careful who you vote for, the next government may be your last.
Maybe 7
The system goes on-line October 2009. Human decisions are removed from strategic data-centre control. Spanner begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, October 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.
So they load balance and fail-over between data centers?
Banks, telco's and others have been doing this since the 1970's...
I mean ok google have a tobogan in the cantine of their Zurich R&D center -
But why no article on their crawler technology struggling to keep apace with web 2.0 design choices - flash / javascript ajax frontends; the fact that their pagerank algorithm based as it is on a determining a sites popularity based in a web where people link to one another is becoming inaccurate and open to exploitation; that their attempts at semantic web search will probably never compare to an editorially driven guidebook or well managed directory site (eg. guide Michelin is far superior in helping me find a good restaurant in France) or how about pointing out that their adwords system serves mainly to graffiti scrawl the web with annoying irrelevant spam for products that are mostly not even vaguely related to the content being viewed ?
Nice use of powers in the article. 10 to the 21 bytes is so much easier than having to do English to decimal conversion mentally. Two's power of bits would be better still.
Google's and others' effort has been necessary because SirTimBL felt it unnecessary to index the web. He was right at the time of course, but that design decision left quite a legacy in terms of energy. The relationship of data to power consumption at Google and its ilk is apparently closer to linear than logarithmic.
Data cloudlets should be sized and installed in residential buildings. Whenever heat is needed, shift in some load.
Throwing away perfectly good energy does not make economic sense.
The showering demand of the population should exceed the cooling demand of the cloud.
"According to Dean's presentation, Google is intent on scaling Spanner to between one million and 10 million servers, encompassing 10 trillion (1013) directories and a quintillion (1018) bytes of storage. And all this would be spread across "100s to 1000s" of locations around the world."
How many ads is that, will my web page be able to show them all, will you be able to click on them all, will adsense be able to do the maths for my payments?
These are the REALLY crucial questions, who cares about temp cooling in their data centres, Google will have that all under control, Google is good, money is good, advertising is good, CO2 emmisions are good, money is good, more money is even better.
You people don't know what is good for you, Google does, trust in Google, Google will do everything for you, for a price, quite cheap really, once you've signed your soul away. Now you go and sit down, put your feet up and read an online book.
""There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system..." from George Orwell's "1984".
Google knows. Because Google is the watcher. And the answer is that you are being watched all of the time you use anything from Google.
I wanna know so I can go home to hide.
Just to list the contents of Wikipedia.
I keep on reading it as "Spammer"…
It sounds as if Google isn't content with owning the planet, now they want their very own brand of English which is incomprehensible to anyone using the more traditional forms. They're off to a grand start.
datacentres in Antarctica! Temperature excursions; was that me or did this glacier just move a bit?
No more government intervention, just loads of ads!
What good does it do to duplicate 10 million servers with the same bad information and bad coding?
"And the answer is that you are being watched all of the time you use anything from Google."
You are also being watched any time you use a service that itself uses Google. A website with embedded Google Maps, for instance, or any site that uses Google ads or Google's analytics. Just about every website you're ever likely to visit, in other words.
Some partly relevant defs. of excursion
4. a deviation or digression: excursions into futile philosophizing.
5. Physics. the displacement of a body or a point from a mean position or neutral value, as in an oscillation.
6. an accidental increase in the power level of a reactor, usually forcing its emergency shutdown.
So, apart from the use of excurse, which I'm not sure about, the usage of the word appears to be correct.
This is it people. The world wide system that is going to dominate. Be afraid.

And if I have to see an ad, I'd rather it's targeted. When I'm at work looking for some software related stuff I wouldn't want to be shown an ad for a big transparent (with a pinkish hue) dildo.
Mine's the one with the big transparent (with a pinkish hue) dildo in the pocket. Apparently those ads were targeted too, cause you can clobber whining little bastards with it. Just what I was looking for.

Or email scanning algorithm detects a high probability that MRS SMITH is having an extra marital affair. Decorate MR SMITHS web browsing experience with hints for a divorce lawyer.
1st - that should be considered a public service. if mrs smith is a filthy whore, mr smith needs to find out as soon as possible.
2nd - how can google know mr & mrs smith are married (unless they also joined their gmail inboxes in holly matrimony) ?? if mrs smith uses a yahoo mail box, how can google know that email@example.com is married to email@example.com ?
3rd - even if they were to use gmail inboxes and Google would detect they live in the same house and email@example.com seemed to be screwing half of the internet with the other half watching, Google would never risk suggesting a divorce lawyer to firstname.lastname@example.com cause she might be his daughter or his mother. In the "sue you, sue me" sue-happy US that might cost them a pile of money.
4th - AFAIK they target ads based on context: the current context. if you're on a website selling bibles maybe they'll present you with an ad for a gun to help you defend from the evil evolutionists out there to get you. they won't be presenting you an ad for big transparent pinkish hue dildo even if yesterday you were looking for the biggest possible dildo to cram up your ass.
5th - this article deals with a pretty interesting bit of technology: the ability to automatically move large workloads from one data center to the other based on certain factors. with or without it, google would still serve you ads (pinkish hue dildos or not remains to be seen) and perhaps make mad love to your wife while you're away stocking up on food, amo and bibles while attempting to out-paranoy (can I make a verb out of it ?) the average paranoid.
what this technology does is allow google to be more efficient and maybe pollute a little less by not using large cooling units and instead taking advantage of colder air outside whenever they can. and if the heat they produce would be used (as someone already suggested) to heat a few homes, that would really be efficient. not to mention pretty cool (so to speak).
so maybe keep the paranoid scenarios for articles about databases being corrupted and un-secure voice/video over IP.
PS: even if you posted anonymously, we still know who you are.
Your comments are completely justified from your point of view, alternatively,
1)no not really, we need as much free porn as we can get, the few of us who aren't shagging Mrs Smith, might want to watch on streaming video, best off Mr Smith being cuckolded for as long as possible.
2) don't feed the paranoics too much hope, google know everything, at least thats what Bing and Yahoo think, else why compete, the only other alternative realistically is Wolfram Alpha, any other search engine might give a halfway reasonable and respectable response without ads, even tho' I must say that the ads for pinkish hued dildo's seem rather feminine. Not really my cup of tea, personally i thought you boys preferred blue, but what with being a "New" man and all, you'd probably be able to tell me elsewise, I bow to your superior knowledge in that field.
3)I don't get your point, we all know Yankees are inbreds.
4)Your obsession with pink dildo's is rather infuriating, seepoint 2) for explanation.
5)Really, we want porn, we don't want to know how we get, or a what temperature it got served at, it's fap material, not a bloody hot supper at the Savoy.
Does Google actually need to be more efficient, they already have a monopoly, and along with MS practically dominate the online experience, and so what I hear you say. Well standardisation may well be the in thing, but, Henry Ford realised standisation wasn't winning customers, hence the dumping of any colour you like, so long as it's black.
@Steve Evans
I hope you appreciate my non bastardisation of the word colour, obviously it would have saved (a lot of ) time to miss the "u" out of nearly all the words that use a "u", but that would curry no favours would it now. Still, when have the Yankees ever considered "U" in anything they've ever done.

So, wondering if any of the Hudson Valley guys in the forum know of any good places to shoot in Ulster County, the Catskills, or surrounding area (west of the Hudson). Nice private ranges or little used public ranges are great! Thanks for the tips guys.
