Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures Review
~ Lots of jokes and references for fans of the Nerd, multiple characters with unique abilities, nostalgic sound and visuals
~ Extreme difficulty at times, poor playability when using a keyboard
This is definitely a game for hardcore Nerd fans. Newcomers to this style of game or to the world of the Nerd might be put off by the price, the sometimes-crazy difficulty and the jokes they won't get. But for an old-school side-scrolling platformer, it is a decent game.
Sometimes you have to return to the games or styles of yesteryear and experience some nostalgia, reflect on the gamer you have become and revisit some beloved favorites. Other times, you have to go back and play the shittiest games imaginable. Fortunately for those of us who don't want to partake in the latter, James Rolfe, also known as the Angry Video Game Nerd, takes it upon himself to play the worst games from our childhoods, placing the burden of frustration and obscenity shouting on his own shoulders. For fans of the Nerd and of Rolfe's other works, Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures holds exciting possibilities of inside jokes, cursing, 8-bit-style fun and great music. For everyone else out there, it is simply another infuriatingly frustrating experience filled with jokes and references they won't understand.
The Nerd and his friends are playing shitty video games one day together when suddenly they are sucked into the game itself! To escape, the Nerd must enter into the levels of the worst game ever made, find his friends and defeat the one responsible for this shitload of fuck. On his way through the worlds he will mow down enemies with his light gun, enlist the unique abilities of his friends such as Bullshit Man and conquer the bosses of each horrific stage. Although a very simple plot, what else would you expect from a game based on the life of a reviewer of bad video games? It evokes memories of the bare-bone plots of NES or Master System games from decades ago when side-scrolling platformers ruled the land and games didn't need epic stories to be really good (see Super Mario Bros. or Contra). If we place this skeletal plot next to the games of today, it fails miserably. However, if you place in the context of the Nerd universe and compare it to the retro games it is drawing its creative inspiration from, it's certainly passable. Lacking contextual comparisons such as this, it is a bland plot indeed.
For gamers who grew upon Batman or GI Joe on the NES, this game will feel both nostalgic and familiar. You progress by hopping over pits of death, gunning down enemies of varying difficulty and sometimes flying in order to reach the end of the level and the fight its boss. One difference I'll point out here between most retro games and this one is that you can play the levels in any order you like, very much like Silver Surfer (except you get a whole bunch of lives here, not just one). As you progress you can unlock new playable characters by finding them in hidden sections of levels. You can find Couch Guy, Mike or Bullshit Man and make use of their unique skills and abilities to vary the gameplay and unlock normally unreachable areas of the game.
The enemies are usually not what you have to worry about. Most of them can be killed with a couple hits and are generally easy to avoid. The environmental obstacles are what you need to fear. Whether it be a pit so large you can just barely jump it or a block that kills you instantly, you will be screaming bloody murder at the level design. Occasionally, the enemies will actually pose a real threat when they attack en masse as you are floundering through the level and dodging brutal obstacles. One thing that really ground my gears was the fact that when you get hit, your character can be knocked into other enemies, obstacles or pits causing you further damage or death. It reminded me of my days playing Ninja Gaiden and getting super pissed at the brutality of the difficulty. And just wait until you encounter some of the bosses, especially the final boss. Talk about incredible difficulty!
It's not all an anger fest, however. If you're familiar with the world of the Nerd, you will be laughing and appreciating the inside jokes, fun references to various Nerd material and guest appearances. The game is very cognizant of itself and the Nerd often makes comments about this idea throughout the game. While enjoying the fun (but deadly) levels, the tunes and the destruction being wrought by your light gun, you will also enjoy the hell out of the fan-targeted elements of the game. Even the death screen (which you see a lot) features Nerd-esque dialogue driven by fan suggestions. Although funny, these screens can be tiresome and may eventually just be annoying if you are in a bad mood and die enough.
Graphically this game nails retro 8-bit. As the song goes, "He's gonna take you back to the past…" If you have ever played any game from the late 1980s or early 1990s then you know that the graphical capabilities of that era were pretty modest compared to today. Since the Nerd mostly reviews games for the NES or related consoles, it only made sense to put the Nerd in this kind of graphical environment. The graphics here are certainly sharper than those older games and you can enjoy playing this game on the big screen with no loss in quality.
The sound effects and music aren't quite as faithful to the era the game is mimicking, but this isn't unwelcome. The audio is somewhere between classic NES and polished late 90s electronica. While playing, you definitely feel like you're in a retro game, but the sound quality is just better than what you would get on a Master System or NES. You'll encounter enemies that audibly shit projectiles at you, flamethrower obstacles that sound like they're sure to roast you and, unfortunately like a lot of older games, some sounds that are just downright annoying. When you get to the disappearing death blocks and vanishing platforms, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. The sounds, although respectably attempting to emulate those old games, can be irritating enough at times that you will want to mute the sound altogether. I played this game with my wife in the room and she would groan when I would approach some of those damn vanishing platforms, for they are the nails-on-chalkboards of this game. Generally speaking, you'll enjoy some good tunes and decent sound effects, but what is annoying is super annoying.
If you plan on playing this game, be certain that you have a functional game pad, preferably the Xbox 360 controller. Trying to play with the keyboard is like trying to drive without power steering fluid while covered in molasses. Just trust me on this one, you will hate your life if you play with the keyboard. It lacks the fluidity and precision of a game pad. Playing with something like the 360 controller is the ideal way to go and you will thank yourself for choosing the most comfortable, enjoyable option.
Make no mistake about this game. It can be hard as balls. This is a game you will get good at by playing it a lot, memorizing the layout and where the enemies/obstacles are and dying a fuckload. By the time I beat the final boss, who is probably the most frustratingly difficult boss I've faced in many years, I had died a whopping 777 times throughout the game. When I first started playing, I took the difficulty of some levels or areas in stride. It's the Nerd, right? This should be a super hard gaming experience to reflect the true world the Nerd lives in. But after a while it just got downright ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I'm no newbie when it comes to gaming and I dominated my share of this game on my first try, but I warn you that you will encounter some areas where you are scratching your head, shouting at the screen and nearly throwing things across the room. Fortunately there are easier (or harder) difficulties to try out. The longer you play, the more easily you will be able to run through the levels. I'm at the point now where I can get through most levels without getting hit, but boy was it a long road.
If you're a fan of the Angry Video Game Nerd, chances are you have bought or are considering buying this game. If you are at the other end of the spectrum and you don't know anything about the Nerd, consider this an interesting platformer that I would recommend at least trying. It's not the best game out there, but it's a fun experience. The current $15.00 price tag is certainly a deterrent. The game is currently available for PC via Steam, but it should also be making its way to 3DS and Wii U at some point for all you Nintendo fans. Now go play some shittastic games!

The high cost of riding around in brightly-colored underwear
Why is (Radio) Shack -- a company that only markets to North Americans -- spending $20 million sponsoring Lance Armstrong and his team as he spends a year racing bicycles mostly in Europe? "Somewhere, someone has a Venn diagram showing the crossover between electronics geeks and cyclists. I'm sure those two sets have a lot of crossover." [more inside]
Bikes as art as bikes as art as etc
The bike racing world has a tradition of attention-getting designs, but some spectators at this year's Tours of California or France might have done double-takes at some of the art on Lance Armstrong's rides. As it turns out, Trek and Nike have commissioned custom designs promoting Livestrong, and as I write this Lance is cycling into Paris on a bike covered with butterfly wings, courtesy of Damien Hirst. [more inside]
The Amazing Flying Scotsman
The hour record is one of the greatest challenges in bicycling, with seemingly the simplest rules: Ride as fast as you can for exactly sixty minutes, zero seconds. If you go farther than anybody else, you hold the record. In 1993, Graeme Obree held that record for one day. Fifteen years later, at the age of 44, Graeme Obree will fly again. [more inside]
Raise one for the red lantern
As the Tour de France concludes, let's spend a moment commemorating the derrière garde of world-class cycling, those bad enough to come in last but never bad enough to fail, les Lanternes Rouge. If Wim Vansevenant can retain his tenacious hold on 145th place in Sunday's stage he will be the worst cyclist to complete the Tour de France for three consecutive years and set a Tour record. You can, indeed, win by losing. [more inside]
'I think there is a good future for this type of system...'
A new generation of bike rental is here, where you pick up the bike where you start your ride and drop it off at the destination. Vélib' and Vélo'V are the high-profile, wildly successful products of the JCDecaux ad firm in the cities of Paris and Grand Lyon. Velib' provides 10,000 bikes for cheap hourly rental beginning this past summer. In exchange for fully underwriting the €90 million of expenses, JCDecaux wins exclusive rights to all the city's billboards. JCDecaux' rival Clear Channel beat them out of the gate by a couple months, opening Bicing in Barcelona to similar success, although at a smaller scale. [more inside]
"Addicted to speed, I mean"
Bjarne Riis, current coach of premier cycling squad Team CSC, used drugs to win the Tour in 1996. His protege, Ivan Basso, was suspended from Team CSC before last year's Tour for suspicion of doping. Team Discovery hired Basso to fill Lance Armstrong's seat as captain, but Basso quit shortly before he had a chance to win his second consecutive Giro d'Italia, and is out for the season, if not permanently. The conclusion of Floyd Landis's appeals to reinstate his 2006 Tour victory will wait until some time after this year's Tour de France. Jan Ullrich capped a good but unsatisfying career by retiring early and under a cloud. Several of Ullrich's former Deutch Telekom/T-Mobile teammates, including Erik Zabel, admitted to doping, and the team masseur claims to have personally administered EPO to Ullrich. Ullrich, Basso, numerous other leading riders, and the majority of some team rosters continue to be under suspicion as the Operación Puerto EPO lab investigation grinds onward. It might be the best time ever to market a competition road bike called the Addict. (previously, previously, oh-so-very previously, )

The Transportation Security administration says a passenger tried to bring a grenade that was inert, a replica or a novelty grenade in checked baggage this week at the Honolulu International Airport.
The inert grenade was one of six discovered at airports across the nation this week.
The TSA says agents continue to find inert hand grenades and other weaponry on a weekly basis.
TSA officials say that if an item looks like a realistic bomb, grenade, mine, or other weaponry, it is prohibited -- real or not.

Most Florida felons will have their voting and other civil rights restored after release from prison under a rule approved today by Republican Gov. Charlie Crist and the state clemency board.
Felons had been required to go before the board to get their civil rights restored – a process that can take years, the Associated Press reports.
Republican Attorney General Bill McCollum was the lone dissenter on the four-person board.
"Florida is one of three states – the others are Kentucky and Virginia – that still deprive felons of civil rights for life. Most other states automatically restore felons' rights when they complete their sentences, probation or parole." the news service reports.

Our company provides cheap SR22 insurance quotes for high-risk drivers all over United States. Based on your driving history and current status – we are able to find affordable solutions to any cases. Select Insurance Group shops multiple sources, can meet the needs of even the most difficult to insure drivers. Our agents will professionally assist you in getting cheap rates on SR22. To get started – fill out our quote form and we will contact you at our first convenience.
What is SR22 insurance?
This is not your normal auto insurance policy or a substitute of the same. Actually, it is an official document otherwise known as a Statement of Responsibility or Certificate of Financial Responsibility (CFR). In some states, the document may be referred as an FR-44.The court or state's Department of Motor Vehicles will request for this document if they want to verify that you satisfied the minimum auto insurance liability coverage. The SR22 insurance is an important document when you need to reinstate driving privileges, after being convicted of a DUI or DWI or cited for multiple traffic offenses.
How do I get an SR22 insurance?
Your insurance company is responsible for filing the form with the state's DMV on your behalf. The insurance provider must be licensed in the state that requires the document. You must be servicing a policy with the insurance provider or they might require you to purchase one if they are willing to file the request for you.
Is an SR22 insurance necessary?
Regulations of obtaining an SR22 insurance vary with the state, so not everyone needs the certificate. However, if you are involved in a DUI and DWI (first or repeated) convictions, driving without a license, being involved in an accident without a license and reckless driving, it is the state or court's mandate to obtain an SR22 insurance. The SR22 insurance details vary by jurisdiction.
What is the cost of obtaining an SR22 insurance?
You will need to pay an average filing fee of about $15 - $25, in other states it can even be higher. The cost might be high in terms of the policy you purchased, especially when the insurance provider considers you as a high-risk driver. You will have to pay high premiums until your carrying period expires.
How long does one carry an SR22 insurance?
The nature of your traffic offense(s) will dictate the duration of an SR22 insurance obligation. Some can be as short as 1 year other as long as 5 years, but on average it lasts for a period of 2-3 years. You will have to maintain your insurance coverage during this period of time.
How does one reinstate driving privileges using an SR22 insurance?
The state DMV will require the certificate to renew, issue and reinstate a suspended or revoked driver's license. You are expected to honor the auto coverage policy premiums and meet other SR-22 insurance requirements. If you let your policy lapse or cancel your insurance, the insurance provider has the mandate to report the change of events to the state- you might have to meet the requirement a fresh or get additional penalties.
How long does it take to file an SR22 insurance?
All you need is to use our auto quote form to get started. Filing can take as low as 5 minutes of your time. Once you leave your information - our licensed agent will be calling you. Right after e-file process you'll be able to print ID cards, filing & policy info instantly.

Leak: Asha 206 Dual Sim; Taking Design hints From Lumia
What we have here is a supposed leak of an Asha 206, a dual sim candybar with Asha with a keypad instead of full touch, meaning it's probably aimed at the super cheap end of the market. Interestingly it seems to take some design hints from the Lumia/N9 design with the ceramic plate around the camera; and what might be a ceramic/poly-carbonate back (like the 808 perhaps?), also is it just me or is the glass on the front of the screen curved?

Home occupation bylaw back on the drawing board
The Planning Board is once again wrestling with the language for a home occupation bylaw to bring before voters at a town meeting.
At the annual town meeting in May 2004, voters rejected the board's proposal to add a new section to the zoning bylaws that would have allowed home businesses in agricultural/residential districts.
Planning Board members Rick McCowan and Jim Lachance submitted draft versions for a new home occupation bylaw that were discussed by the board at its July 15 meeting. "I don't think my draft and Rick's are far apart," said Lachance.
Lachance expressed concern that without a definition of a home business or a list of examples, something could "sneak" in that the board wouldn't know about.
"It's a bad idea to say any kind of business can operate in an agricultural/residential district," said Lachance. "If there is a doorway you can drive through, then people will. Without definitions people could come up with things other people won't like as their next door neighbor."
The existing bylaw has restrictions on noise, vibration, smoke, dust, odor, and limits the number of employees allowed on the premises (other than occupants). There are also prohibitions against the display of good or products, storage of materials or equipment, and limits on parking. The intent is that there be no exterior indication that the premises is being used for any purpose other than residential.
"A list really means nothing," said McCowan, "It's all about the impact."
"We could have a list of things we want to exclude," said board member Tom Daly.
"That's just as difficult as listing all the things that are acceptable, said Chairman Brian Jackson.
McCowan suggested maintaining a general list of occupations. "If someone is worried about whether what they want to do needs a special permit they could go to the building inspector and ask," he said.
"I'm concerned about potential things that could be done. What about a biologist that works in his home," said member Mark Canfield. "That could be dangerous and we wouldn't even know about it. Listing everything is next to impossible.
"Could you run an adult bookstore out of your house if it was web based?" he asked.
"What prohibits it now?" asked Jackson.
"If we start listing things that are specifically excluded and then someone comes up with something equally as onerous and it's not specifically excluded, we're in a worse situation," said Lachance.
Board members agreed they'd try and come up with a list of prohibitions. They also discussed placing a limit on the number of parking spaces that would be allowed for home businesses.
Members will look at the draft, add their suggestions and the board will review the bylaw's language at the next meeting.

As the ACC season winds down, the talk about bowls is hitting full stride. As of now there are currently nine teams eligible to play in bowl games.
Those bowls include everything from the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl to the Champs Sports Bowl.
Of course there are still three teams vying for the ultimate prize, which is the right to be the ACC representative in the Orange Bowl.
Unfortunately for the ACC, another year has gone by without a national title contender, but at least some familiar faces are on top and one not so familiar face.
Here is a look at each bowl and where the bowl eligible teams might land.

Almost Unsweetened Applesauce ( Homemade )
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 20 mins
Very tasty applesauce that's easy! Why buy processed when you can make it? I often make this up and freeze in small containers to use up those apples that are just past their prime. This recipe has very little sugar in it and you can always use Splenda instead if you like.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 8 apples, peeled, cored & sliced (I use whatever is in my fridge)
- 1 cup water
- 2 -3 tablespoons sugar (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 pinch ground cloves (optional)
- Put apples and water in saucepan.
- Cover and bring to boil.
- lower heat and simmer, stirring occasionally for 20 minutes.
- Stir in sugar, cinnamon and cloves (if using).
- Cook until all sugar is dissolved.
- Serve warm or let cool.

I doubled this and got 12 1/2 pint jars, which I canned with a hot-water bath method. I used apples from out own tree, which are a pie apple, so not sweet. I was looking for a low-sugar recipe because I used the applesauce to bake with, as a fat replacer, and didn't want the extra sugar in it. Turned out great. Made for Fall 2012 PAC game.
We love it. I used 8 gala apples, a couple of which were pretty big. I kept spritzing my apples with fresh lemon juice as I peeled and sliced them, and that hint of lemon came through in the end. Yum. We don't like sweet applesauce, so I just used 1 T. sugar. I used my stick blender for a uniform consistency; my 8 year old has complained that it's still "lumpy" but maybe I can tweak it next time for his taste. Otherwise, the rest of us think this is wonderful!!
This came out very well, though I only did a half-recipe. Loved the flavors and the smell of these apples cooking on the stove; the sugar amount was just right. Thanks for a great fall recipe PennyG! Made for FALL 2008 PAC.

Circumcision. It's just a little snip, right? It doesn't really hurt. Especially with the numbing shots they give for it nowadays. And besides, it's for his own good.
Circumcision is as American as apple pie. For the most part, it is not questioned but rather accepted as the standard of care given to newborn babies. Why is this the case? Is the foreskin such a hideous invention of nature that must be stricken from the body as soon as possible after birth?
Or is it a parental choice? "Excuse me madam, would you like your son with foreskin or without?"
Circumcision is surgery. Like any surgery, it involves a scalpel, blood, and the cutting of flesh. Unlike other surgeries, it is done in the absence of pathology. Unlike other surgeries, it is done without adequate pain management.
You would think that an intelligent society such as ours would have realized that it is not wise cut the genitalia of babies. Looked at objectively, it doesn't make much sense. But I do realize that it is hard to look at sex organs, or sex, objectively. Perhaps that is why this tradition, once implemented, has taken such a strong hold on the collective unconscious of our society.
What are the arguments used to justify newborn circumcision? Are babies really better off from having had part of their penis surgically removed? No medical organization in the world advocates newborn circumcision. Arguments in favor of newborn circumcision claim reduced rates of urinary tract infections, penile cancer, foreskin ailments, and "getting it over with" while the child is still a baby so they won't remember the trauma of the surgery should it become necessary later in life.
If newborn circumcision does indeed reduce the risk health problems, does this reduction far outweigh the risks of the surgery itself? The American Academy of Pediatrics claims the potential benefits and the risks are about equal. This means that any given child has the same chance of experiencing a reduced risk of the above ailments as he does of experiencing a short-term side effect of the surgery. Side effects that develop later on, such as meatal stenosis or painful erections, are not entered into the equation. When long-term risks are added, the risks outweigh any potential benefits.
This is not even taking into account the psychological trauma of the procedure itself. It used to be believed that infants could not feel pain. As a result of this erroneous belief, babies were forced to undergo invasive, traumatic procedures without anesthesia. We now know that babies do feel pain, and that they feel pain more profoundly than adults or children. We also know that babies who have undergone painful experiences react more strongly to pain later in life.
What is the purpose of the foreskin? Since every mammal except bats have a foreskin, it would seem logical that it is there for a reason. The foreskin provides mammals penile protection, sexually sensitive nerve endings, and a gliding action that enables non-traumatic copulation.
What is circumcision? Circumcision is the surgical removal of the prepuce, or foreskin of the male penis. The baby is first strapped down so that he cannot move, which is a necessary intervention. Babies are human and do try and move away from a painful stimuli. At birth, the foreskin is adhered to the glans much as the fingernail is adhered to the finger. A probing instrument is used to break the connection between the foreskin and the glans. A clamp is then applied to the foreskin in order to prevent hemorrhage. Once the skin is blanched white, showing that circulation has been effectively cut off, a scalpel is used to cut off the foreskin. How much skin to cut off is not a science but rather an estimation on the part of the doctor. No one knows how much skin will be necessary for the child to comfortably grow into as his penis enlarges at puberty.
This is still sometimes done with absolutely no pain medication whatsoever. Little or no post op pain management is given, and the open wound must then attempt to heal itself while constantly exposed to urine and feces. Many doctors are now using pain medication for newborn circumcision. However, we know that even the most effective method, which is EMLA cream applied topically, then an injection called a penile block, is not so effective that 60% of babies still experience excessive pain. Other countries defer circumcision until the baby is old enough to undergo sedation anesthesia and be given effective pain medications in the post op period.
Cultural blinders can be so opaque that they block even the blindingly obvious light of common sense. This is the case of newborn circumcision. Circumcision is a big deal. It is not just a little snip. It does remove numerous nerve endings and blood vessels. It does really hurt. And it may not be for his own good.

What a great article. I did not circumcise my son for this exact reason. Why would anyone subject pain to their newborn baby? I would never forgive myself. My son is 8 and is just fine. He knows that we left him the way God created him..... why would we mess with his creation?

Suspects sought in attempted assault
WARREN – Warren police are searching for suspects after a verbal confrontation between two women in a gas station parking lot led to one woman being pepper-sprayed and the other nearly run over by a vehicle.
Just after 9 p.m. Tuesday, police were dispatched to the USA Gas Mart on South Pine Street.
Barbara Jackson, 17, reported she was accosted by two women driving what was described as a green SUV.
Officers later identified the vehicle as a 1999 Ford Expedition.
While waiting for a car driven by Nathaniel Fugate to leave the gas station, Jackson said a woman in the SUV waved at her.
She waved back.
At that point, Jackson said the SUV pulled forward and attempted to block her in, the police report states.
One woman got out of the SUV and started yelling at Jackson and told her to get out of the car. The woman opened the door to drag Jackson out.
That is when Jackson pulled out her pepper spray and discharged the spray into the woman's face.
The woman returned to her car, pulled forward and rammed the front of Fugate's car. The police report lists $5,000 in damage to the front passenger's side of the vehicle.
When Jackson got out of the car, the driver of the SUV backed up and attempted to run her over, the police report states. Fugate pulled Jackson out of the path of the vehicle, and the SUV left, the report states.
Police reviewed the security footage at the station and were able to verify the initial report. Police were also able to obtain a license plate number and partial physical descriptions of the suspects.
The investigation is ongoing.

RUSH: Navarre, Ohio, and Patty. Great to have you. You're up first today. Hello.
CALLER: Hello. What I wanted to see is I can't thank you enough for the children's book. I have your two books, and my granddaughter has read some. She's 15, but I love the children's books. You know, our children are just like lost out there, and I'm --
RUSH: Patty, you haven't even seen the book yet.
CALLER: Well, no, but I've ordered like 20 of 'em, and most of those will be gifts to young people.
RUSH: Well, God bless you, but, I mean, you're giving us a rave review on the book, and you haven't read it yet.
CALLER: It doesn't matter, because I have your two other books, and I'm a hairdresser, I've been in business almost 40 years, I'm 64 years old, and for some reason I feel like I'm the pied piper. All these young under 18-year-old kids attach themselves to me, and I got a little girl about 12 years old, and she just loves me, and she said, "I asked my teacher if you can come and talk to our class," but I have to tell you, I'm not a good speaker, so the book can do the work for me.
RUSH: Well, you know, I hope it helps. I really do. What she's talking about, Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims, which comes out October 29th. We have set a record, short of Harry Potter, that's nonfiction, of pre-orders for this book. Excitement is just building out there and people are waiting with great anticipation for this. It's one week from today when the book comes out, and I know it's gonna help you because it's just truth, it's truth of American history, the founding, the Pilgrims, for young people.

What is the lim as x--->2 of g(f(x)) with reference to this diagram:
ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting
My reasoning thus far is that there is no limit because as x approaches 2 in the first graph, f(x) approaches 0. But in the second graph, of g(x), the function is not continuous at x = 0.
Is it DNE?
Hey all,
This question is free game for anyone. In regards to the diagram referenced in the first post, to which I posted a link, is the value of c that makes [f(x) + c g(x)] exist equal to the same value of c that makes f(x) + c g(x) continuous at x = 1.
I approached the problem this way:
For to exist, both the left and right limits must exist.
(The question mark is there not because this limit is unknown, but I leave it to you to figure it out.) Also, the left and right limits must be equal to each other. After finding the second limit, set the two of them equal to each other, and solve for c.
Now refer to the definition of continuity to complete the question, and proceed in a manner similar to above.

Kylie Faith Halter is a red-headed goddess from Fairfax, Virginia who loves puppies, wine, feminism, food, historical fiction, historical non-fiction, France, warm beaches, yoga, alpine skiing, social work, and somehow... John Mallory. After graduating from Fairfax High School in 2004, she made her way down to William & Mary where her time was evenly divided between the Accidentals, The Christopher Wren Singers, traipsing around France, attending occasional Kappa meetings, and being awesome. After graduating with fancy Latin honors for her double major in French and History in 2008, Kylie sacrificed 2 years of her soul to work at some corporate law firm in DC. One small perk of this experience (besides a steady paycheck in the midst of an economic crises) was the beginning of her relationship with John. As their relationship grew with nauseating speed, she continued to cultivate another love... her passion for helping others by volunteering at the DC Rape Crisis Center. This experience solidified her desire to make a career of helping others by moving to the windy city to pursue her Master's in Social Work at the University of Chicago. John might be foolish, but also knew a good thing when he saw it and promptly followed her to Chi-town where they live in an awesome little apartment 7 blocks from Wrigley field.
For those who don't know her:
1) Why are you looking at our wedding website your creepy stalker?
2) She's the most wonderfully empathetic intellectual feminist you can imagine. Her love of others is only paralleled by her love of cooking for others. She's a fierce thinker hidden underneath a deceivingly friendly facade, and John loves the hell out of her... even though she actually thinks Monopoly is a fun use of time.
John Laurence Mallory is a gangly running fool from Parkersburg, West Virginia (or southeast Ohio... depending on when you ask him) who loves big cities, big wide open spaces, travel, red wine, dark chocolate, marathons, preventing sexual violence, comedy, preventing sexual violence through comedy, soccer, NFL players who display actual signs of character (Drew Brees, Scott Fujita, Darrel Green, etc), classical music, new adventures, and a lovely little ginger named Kylie Halter. After graduating from Parkersburg High School in 2000, John somehow snuck into William & Mary where he over-committed to singing, fraternity, tour guiding, and sexual assault prevention. After academically limping out of college with a bachelors in Physics, John continued to work in violence prevention with a few organizations who sent him to Colleges, Communities, Military Instillations, and even 10 months living on an RV. All these adventures eventually brought him to Washington DC where he fell for a flirtatious young woman named Kylie. When she discussed her interest in moving to pursue her master's degree, John started packing and now lives in Chicago where he keeps most of his stuff (and his fiancee) while continuing to travel around the world to educate others about sexual assault.
For those who don't know him:
1) See sub-section 1 of "About Kylie"
2) He's the most organized mess you'll ever know. When given 3 options, John will ask for all 5 while still sneaking out the door in his running shoes to crank out a few miles. Even though he loves his work and the new places it brings him, John always looks forward to coming home to Kylie where she'll complain about the 72 degree weather being too cold while serving up something amazingly delicious that she created in some MacGyver-esque fashion from the 4.2 random ingredients found in their kitchen.
If you've gotten this far (and done the math), you'll realize that although Kylie and John are both proud graduates of William & Mary, their college years never actually overlapped. They probably met several times at various college homecomings over the years, but they're interest in each other didn't finally spark until May of 2009 when both were living in Washington DC. Despite her terrible skills at mixing drinks and general social awkwardness, John repeatedly made attempts to see the lovely red head who had caught his eye. Kylie was delightfully oblivious to his intentions and they were getting nowhere. However, on one fateful Friday, John found out that Kylie was meeting some friends at a post-work happy hour and made the necessary arrangements to meet up. That evening both John and Kylie independently decided to to try and win the other over by being overly flirtatious and out-going. As they attempted to one-up each other with exaggerated interest and flattering compliments, the rest of their friends watched in adorable disgust.
A few weeks later as their infatuation reached near-epic levels, John left for a 6 week backpacking trip to Spain and Thailand. Absence truly makes the heart grow fonder because once he finally returned, they could scarcely be found apart. Leaving town for work became less of an adventure and more of a test in patience away from the woman he loved. They found an apartment, she found a graduate program, they found another apartment, he found a ring, and the rest is about to begin.

well you want a value x
such that the sides and height
are divisible by x
(since you want all same sized squares)
and you want the biggest squares possible
so gcd(640,480) = 160
which means you can make squares 160x 160 and fill the whole screen
I just don't understand what is being asked of me? Here it is:
A computer screen is divided into little squares called pixels. The number of pixels on the screen is called the monitor resolution. A common monitor resolution is 640 x 480, which means that there are 640 pixels along the length of the screen and 480 pixels along the width of the screen. If a computer program divides the screen into equal size squares, what would be the length of the side in pixels of the largest possible square?
My first approach was to multiply the resolution and see if that answer had a perfect square and that got me nowhere. I am sure the computation must be straightforward. I just don't even get what "square" they are referring to and whether I am supposed to start with a 640 x 480 monitor or not. Help!

Easter eggs: the ultimate symbol of man- and bunnykind's insatiable need to hide neat things in plain sight. For the last ... our entire existence, Cracked has cataloged the craziest Easter eggs ever hidden in film, television, ancient art, religion, and even the very websites you use every day. Think of this as our obsessive love letter to the obsessed maniacs responsible for all of this ...
Much of the art made during the Italian Renaissance was specifically commissioned by the Catholic Church to adorn the walls of Catholic cathedrals for the everlasting edification of Catholic God lovers. And up until the mid-1500s, the Catholic Church was pretty cool with artists getting a free hand on their walls.
Sometimes "free hand" meant tastefully rendered imaginings of the heroes of the Bible. And sometimes "free hand" meant literally having a free hand to masturbate with after viewing said pictures.
Wait, What the Hell?
Renaissance artists often used their art to get their freak on.
At least until the Counter-Reformation, when the church put the kibosh on the flagrant display of holy genitalia and hired a loincloth painter to cover the most offending penis action, such as the scene above, from Michelangelo's "Last Judgment." Prior to the cover-up, Mr. Red Robe back there was full-on naked and looking down at the badonkadonk of St. Lady Gun, who was also naked. And considering her bent-over posture, it totally looked like he was getting some from the backside.
But the Catholic Church wasn't the only game in town, and plenty of other Renaissance artists used their prodigious talents to prove it. Once these guys were out in the secular world, things started getting explicit. Such as:
Giulio Romano
Snaky guy on girl.
School of Fontainebleau
Girl on girl.
Alonzo Cano
Hans Baldung
Jusepe de Ribera
And finally:
You'd think that was piss until you noticed that curators catalog it under "Ejaculating." If you are one of those people who never really appreciated old-timey artwork before now, we beg you: Look at the expression on that horse's face. Who among us hasn't worn that very expression, in that very situation?
39Call of Duty: Black Ops -- Subtle Reactions and Secret Codes Reveal the Main Twist
Call of Duty: Black Ops is a heartfelt and touching look at the physical and psychological cost soldiers pay to defend their country told while you mow down seven or eight thousand foreigners across several decades. But the plot has a clever, Shyamalan-esque twist at the end.
You play a gruff badass called Alex Mason, who early on gets captured and imprisoned in a Russian gulag alongside a man called Viktor Reznov, but (SPOILER!) it turns out Reznov is only a figment of Mason's imagination. The real guy died years earlier. See, you thought you were just shooting a bunch of dudes in the head, but it was your mind that just got blown (sorry).
The Foreshadowing:
Sure, astute players might have noticed that, aside from Mason, not one single person in the entire game talks to Reznov. Mason and Reznov are accompanied by several other soldiers, but none of them so much as even look at Reznov, let alone question why a freaking Russian is hanging around guys tasked with exterminating as many of his countrymen as possible, one shotgun shell at a time.
They could've at least asked him where he got that sweet-ass jacket.
But then there are the little touches. For instance, not only do they not talk to him, but on several occasions while you and Reznov are talking, the other soldiers will stare at you like you've lost you fucking mind (which you totally have). They'll interrupt the "conversation" with noises like "Huh?" "Hmm ..." and the incredibly succinct "What the fuck's wrong with you?" This is exactly how most of us would react if we witnessed one of our comrades talking to his imaginary friend during a goddamn shootout.
But the game also drops its own hints in a manner entirely appropriate for a game set in the espionage-filled Cold War era: by using code. At the beginning of each level, a small briefing appears on screen, revealing your location, your mission, the date, and a few items your wife wants you to pick up at the market on your way home.
"And don't forget ears. That necklace is almost finished."
Now, see that circled word next to "Designate"? That word changes every level. If you take the first letter of each designation ("X" in this case) and arrange them in the order they appear in throughout the game, you get XREZNOVXXISDEDX: "Reznov is dead." Or "gzreznovgkzgkzisdedix" if you're an asshole who takes everything literally.

RUSH: I want to go to this Romney business. Romney went to the UK. He's over there for the obligatory foreign trip for presidential candidates. And here is supposedly Romney's big gaffe. This was Wednesday night on the NBC Nightly News with the anchor Brian Williams who said, "In the short time you've been here in London, do they look ready for the Olympics to your experienced eye?"
ROMNEY: You know, it's hard to know just how well it will turn out. There are a few things that were disconcerting, the stories about the private security firm not having enough people, the supposed strike of the immigration and customs officials. That obviously is not something which is encouraging.
RUSH: Wait a minute. Apparently that kind of honesty is a, no, no. See, political correctness means you can't tell the truth. You get the question, "Are they ready here, Mitt?" and you're supposed to say, "Oh, yeah! I have never seen a more ready to go group of people, and I've got experience. I have run the Olympics, and let me tell you something, Brian, not only are you a boring white guy, this bunch of people is probably better than anybody else to run an Olympics I've ever seen."
That's the politically correct answer.
Romney said, "You know, it's hard to know just how well it will turn out. There are a few things that were disconcerting, the stories about the private security firm not having enough people, the supposed strike of the immigration and customs officials. That obviously is not something which is encouraging." I understand. It's widespread. Now, Romney coulda played dumb. He coulda played it safe. He coulda said everything is peachy and moved on. But he didn't. So here's David Cameron, who is the UK prime minister, and his response to what Romney said...
CAMERON: We are holding an Olympic games in one of the busiest, most active, bustling cities anywhere in the world. I mean, of course it's easier if you hold an Olympic games in the middle of nowhere. (snickering)
RUSH: (impression) (chortling) "Like Salt Lake City! Ha-ha-ha! By Jove, you hold an Olympics in the middle of nowhere amongst a bunch of boring people, well of course! Ha-ha-ha." Now, here's Boris Johnson, mayor of London.
JOHNSON: There's some people who are coming from around the world who don't know about all the preparations we've done to get London ready in the last seven years. I hear there's a guy... There's a guy called Mitt Romney who wants to know whether we're ready. He wants to know whether we're ready. Are we ready?
CROWD: (roaring)
JOHNSON: Are we ready?
CROWD: (roaring)
JOHNSON: Yes, we are!
RUSH: Okay. So that's Cameron and that's Johnson. Then yesterday, CNN's Newsroom. Anchor Brooke Baldwin spoke to Piers Morgan. Piers Morgan is now the new Larry King, and he's from the UK. She said, "I gotta ask you first. We played the Romney sound bite. I believe the word he used describing the Olympics and the preparation or lack thereof in terms security is 'disconcerted.' I'm just curious. How are the Brits feeling today over Romney's comments?"
MORGAN: I thought he was absolutely right, wasn't he? I mean, it's no secret over here that for the last three weeks the security around the Olympics has been a shambles. I thought he was perfectly entitled to be critical. Clearly (chuckling) he had to slightly change his rhetoric after the Brits pointed out, "Hang on a second, old boy. You know, you gotta talk us up a bit." But I thought it was a bit of a fuss about nothing. They have had some issues here, especially about security, and he was just speaking the truth, which sometimes can be rather unpalatable.
BALDWIN: Mmmm.
RUSH: I'll tell you, the most politically incorrect thing going today is the truth. You just don't get anywhere near it. Mitt's supposed to have said, "Hey, I've never seen anybody better. Yep." Now, the mayor of London, Boris Johnson, is already walked his comments back. If Romney had sugarcoated everything and then something terrible had happened, who would have been attacked? Romney. "Ah, he comes over here, he looks around, and he thinks everything is cool. This guy, he's no good for security!" It's amazing. Truth is a hard thing to lose, folks. It just bothers me that truth is becoming a casualty of political correctness.

What's That Saying About Old Dogs...
I'd never for the world call Hubby an old dog, or even an old man, but he is getting to that older fella category. He and I have been on a new adventure this week; Joanne had foot surgery on Tuesday morning, with him acting as the guide and chauffeur, though not the surgeon.

Help me not hate my new Aeron chair
Due to long-standing back/shoulder/neck pain, I received an Aeron chair at work a couple of months ago. It has helped in one way (namely, the armrests can be adjusted lower than any other chair I've had, which has helped my shoulders) but otherwise has completely aggravated my lower and mid-back pain. Help me figure out a hack so that I can actually sit at my desk for longer than 10 minutes at a time without going nuts. [more inside]

Skip to comments.Glenn Beck 'doubles down' on George Zimmmerman's "guilt"
Posted on 03/29/2012 10:23:33 AM PDT by vikingrinn
Now, let me be clear: I am not defending George Zimmerman in any way. Right now I think hes most likely guilty, Glenn said.
Lets pray the system takes its course before some lunatic decides to listen to the words of The Black Panthers and try to get an eye for an eye.
(Excerpt) Read more at glennbeck.com ...
While the death of this young man was tragic, wouldn't the possibility of death of the survivor from the unfortunate altercation weigh equally prior to the grand jury receiving (and in turn the rest of us) all the facts/pre-trial?
In fact, revelations thus far seem to indicate more inflammatory rhetoric from yourself are, at best, superfluous:
Again, so much for your being an 'objective', 'enlightened', 'truth-seeking' pundit...
Beck's stupidity knows no bounds.
I really liked his book, Arguing with Idiots, but that was about it. Something happened to him. I'm not sure what.
You're falling down on the job again, Mr. Beck.
Stick to truth and objectivity and your ratings will do just fine...
There are lots of folks here, there, and everywhere who like Beck. It surprises me, I think he's tremendously unimpressive when compared to thinkers and articulators like Rush and Levin and whomever you might think are prescient or insightful in the economic/financial realm. Beck is what Levin calls a back bencher IMO.
I can't believe I used to like Beck.
None of us should be trying this case on the radio or on Twitter from a thousand miles away.
Everyone needs to take a deep breath, shut the heck up, and let the investigation take its course.
He turned into the idiot he was arguing with.
I never listen to him anymore.
Watch a few of his shows on Fox before we divested from Obama's MSM.
The red phone to the White House stunt was clever.
His radio show f'in sucks.
Glenn Beck sucks.
I used to listen to him mostly everyday, until he went off the rails. Breitbart, or whoever called him Elmer Gantry, was right.
Same here.
'Right now I think hes most likely guilty, Glenn said".
When will these "influential" members of the media(sic) obtain the facts before publicizing their moronic opinions?
He became a god.......... in his own mind.
Its the Oprah affect.
I can't listen to him anymore.
If you're going to play the race bait hang an innocent man game, Glenn, then you can do it without me.
Of all people, you should be able to see media manipulation, but surprisingly not only can't you, you are also engaging in it.
Goodbye, Glenn.
Well now we know what will happen to the first CCW holder who is attacked by a flash mob and defends himself. Crucifixion by the public.
I think Glenn is out to lunch on these comments about Zoimmerman's guilt.
From all I have seen and read now, I believe Zimmerman to be completely innocent of wrong doing and that he justifiably defended himself when he shot Trayvon who had attacked him, knocked him to the ground, broke his nose and bloodied his face and was in the process of trying to repeatedly slam his head against the ground.
In such a circumstance, if armed woith a gun, I would have done the same thing.
I am open to the investigators finding different mitigating evidence, and the decision of a grand jury should one be needed...but at this point based on all the testimony and evidence I have heard, seen, and read about, that's what I think happened.
...and I believe the left, from the President through congressional members down to the New Black Panthers are making a dispicable spectacle of the whole thing for purely political and ideological reasons in an attempt to deflect attention away from Obama's pitiful record.
The Florida law authorities, particularly the Attorney General should grow a pair in this circumstance and send the State Troopers after those New Black Panthers who have come to Florida and who are inciting violence and commiting conspiracy to kidnap and injure a man not charged with any crime to this point. That should not be allowed...or ignored because it is blatantly illegal, and it will lead to an even worse set of circumstances than they already have.
The Man Who Despises America
America at the Crossroads of History
Seems like about the time he left FNC his sanity left him.
Because when the Catastrophe took place, he was the only one (one of a few anyway) who stepped out and reminded us that We Surround Them. He was willing to get in their faces, with his dedicated phone line for the white hut to call on and challenge anything he was saying. His call for "deep throats" to come in and blow the whistle on the administration. His modeling of the behavior of every joe sixpack out there reading the real documents for themselves for the first time.
Look, I had to stop watching him, or listening too much talk radio, no more watching FNC, because I was too upset and too angry all the time. It wasn't good for me. I wish him all the best, and pray his continued good health, such as it is—I think he contracted some pretty bad health condition, IIRC. He's not the best, but he's far from the worst.
I damned sure haven't heard enough to form a solid opinion one way or the other.
If Zimmerman had been killed the mantra would be, courageous black youth stops crazed redneck gunman.
I have the feeling, from conversations on a local forum, that some "conservatives" would rather throw Zimmerman to the wolves than risk race riots. American law is being held hostage by thugs, foreign and domestic, making threats of violence.
He lost me when he went Mormon...
Glenn is a slut.
beck is an archtype....a loner....has no sense of loyalty to a cause or a team. e.g. he lied and stabbed breitbart in the back..... never trusted him.
Beck is an idiot.
I believe Zimmerman is innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt as a result of a fair trial in a Court of Law, before a jury of his peers as finders of fact.
Such peers would obviously not include the tattered likes of Jackson, Sharpton, Obama or Glen Beck.They cannot tell shite from shinola, obviously.
Beck just wants his ratings among people of color to remain high. What a sell out.
I detest that man.
I could not believe what he said regarding Newt Gingrich about 3 days ago on his radio show. He said Newt Gingrich is the enemy of God. That is correct. Remember when he said if the tea party votes for Newt it must be racism because Newt is the same as Obama and it is better to vote for Ron Paul or Romney over Newt? He is truly off the deep end over Newt. A few months ago I heard him say "I don't like him. I believe he has nefarious plans."
When Al Sharpton, Hollywood Stars and NBA players all jump on an explosive issue, smart and sane people run the other way.
Its best to say nothing at all while the facts are being collected.
" "... Right now I think hes most ***likely*** guilty," Glenn said. "
Likely? Uh....based on what?
"I cant believe I used to like Beck.
Same here. "
Same here.
Glenn Beck "apologized" for calling Obama a racist, just so he could get Martin Luther King's daughter to speak at his Lincoln Memorial rally.
He threw Andrew Breitbart under the bus over the Shirley Sherrod video.
Glenn Beck is a self-serving creep.
Where did Beck receive this revelation? Has he been doing that 'look at the stone in the hat' trick again?
Fool, that is not the least bit funny.
Because Newt stands in the way of Mitt establishing the Mormon Caliphate.
Glen Beck has become a blabbering fool.
I would really like to see that babbling brook go broke.
Beck, a Romney supporter, has become a putrid shock jock.
That is coming from a man that I once admired him, I'm embarrassed to say.
Beck should be careful whom he declares an "enemy of God". From what I understand, Gingrich has asked Christ for forgiveness and to be his Lord and Savior, and as such, has become a child of the Most High.
Who is YOUR God, Beck? Hmmmm?
Had Beck on in the car on my way to work today. Actually had to turn him off. He'd overflowed my stupidness by a talk show host capacity.
Does Glenn have syphilis?
First, his eyesight goes. Next his brain goes.
I've never seen anyone deteriorate faster than him.
"Because when the Catastrophe"
Are you referring to the financial crisis of 2008-2009 or the election of 0bama? (honest question)
I think Beck has had his moments. I agree, he's not the best nor the worst. He has done some good work, primarily during the financial crisis. But I think that he's not an originator, he's not an original thinker. He's never the first one to see nor articulate something. So, I'm just saying....there are better sources, far better sources. And, if I was in love with his delivery, then that would be that. But I'm not. And he has some goofballisms that negate his strengths, so overall, I'm sub-lukewarm on him.
Mormon Beck supports Mormon Romney and so lies about Gingrich.
No surprise there.
I see. No wonder he said "Damn you tea partiers!" We were enabling Newt in supporting him.
a lot of people were fooled. .... Huckabee is another one. ....they're of a type. .... it takes experience to spot them.
.....Sincerity is everything. If you can fake that, youve got it made.
I heard him say this on Monday's show and I was hoping like heck he would walk it back on Tuesday and Wednesday when more facts were coming out. But he is not. I like Beck's show, but he is in total knee-jerk reaction mode and not following his own "Being George Washington" cawlmer-heads prevail philosophy.
That's everyone of the leftist medidiots from Steffie to Scarborough to Rosanne Barr to Spike Lee to include dingbat Beck who needs to shut up because the evidence does even come close in supporting their contention that Zimmerman is guilty.
It has been since February 26th since this incident took place. Any real new evidence coming out now is about a 1 and billion chance that will change anything substantial. The police cleared Zimmerman. The DA cleared Zimmerman. Beck or any other OBot wishing guilt is not going to happen. If a grand jury somehow indites Zimmerman on the known evidence, which does not support an indictment, Zimmerman will easily win in court. No DA wants to be the big loser in court as what will happen if this goes to trial.
That being said, the OBots and useful idiots like Beck wants to stir the race relation pot for no good. Beck that village idiot, wants his "Revolutionary Holocaust" to come to reality. Beck wants to prove himself right and seems not to care if he has a hand in it, albeit a lame attempt. Other hidden motives from leftist like Al Sharpton wants to rally the black vote for Obama in November.

The Price of Beauty
Since Fred and I have been watching Nip/Tuck on dvd and Heidi Montag just admitted that she's addicted to plastic surgery, I thought I'd touch on the subject of plastic surgery.
First off, I do not see anything wrong with plastic surgery if you want to reconstruct or enhance yourself, especially when you're older. I don't think I could ever do it, but I don't judge people who do. Well, maybe I won't want to look at ALL of my wrinkles at 75, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there. :) I'd love to have the "quick fix" of lipo, but I think it's better for me if I work it off and try to eat better!
It is just so sad that these 20-somethings are going in and getting all of this work done and completely changing the way they look. Heidi was a beautiful girl. Now, she just looks, well, plastic. It's really sad. And to be "addicted" at such a young age (23) is not a good thing. Well, at least I don't think it is. She had 10 procedures in 1 day. That can't be good for your body and the recovery must be horrific!
According to Fox News, she has had: a nose job revision, chin reduction, mini brow lift, Botox in her forehead and frown area, fat injections in her cheeks, nasolabial folds and lips, neck liposuction, ear pinning, liposuction on her waist, hips, inner and outer thighs, buttock augmentation and breast augmentation revision.
What?! She is a stick and she got liposuction. So, ladies all of this hard work that we've been spending at the gym or at home doing our "Shred" to get bodies like her's might not get us that Heidi Montag body because her's is fake. In order to have Heidi's body, we too need to go and have plastic surgery. I wonder how many other coveted celebrity bodies are fake?
Do you think she's gone too far? Would you consider this?
Also, please don't forget to vote for Knox in Bissell's MVP Pet Photo Contest here. Today is the last day to vote. Thank you to all of you who have voted for him!

Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day!
I 100% agree with you...getting plastic surgery at a young age is a horrible idea. But I'm not against getting liposuction after I have a baby! (That is only if I can't to were I want to be by working out!)

I must admit there is only one thing that I would love to have done and that is a nose job. But to be addicted to plastic surgery at such a young age is soooo sad. I am not a big fan of Heidi at all but she was never ugly and now I just don't think she looks that great anymore.
- January 14, 2010 at 1:41 PM
- Cee said...
Ugggg...she looks freakish. I don't get why young people get plastic surgery either. I am not against a little bit (maybe a breast reduction/lift or some botox) when I get older/after I have kids but not until I am in my 30s or 40s! I actually could get a nose job now (paid for by insurance) b/c I have a deviated septum and minor breathing problems, but I don't feel like having a needless surgery. Why go under the knife if you are healthy? My nose is a little crooked but it is hardly noticeable and someday I will probably just do it. I have a friend that just good a boob job and spent 7k (on a credit card.) That's just stupid to me.
Sorry this was such a long comment...this topic just gets me fired up!

To me - it's the guilt of what the money is going for - how do others not feel such guilt? How many starving children could that money feed?
On the flip side - geeze, I could totally cut back on the luxuries I buy and feed many starving children as well - so torn!
In the end - it's just scary. Not just that she looks scary - which she does now, but the fact that you may never wake-up from some vain elective surgery or that follow-up complications may arise like the pulmonary embolism Kanye West's mother died from after breast augmentation! So sad...

She does look like she is made out of plastic! And I love your puppy! I too have a dachshund, except mine is really fat!

This is sick. I have no comments on Heidi, hate her and her douche husband/boyfriend, whatever.
- January 14, 2010 at 5:27 PM
- Jen said...
This is just awful. She looks heinous. And she used to be decently cute. I can't believe that list of the 10 things she got done - just horrific!
I'm with you on the plastic surgery views!
- January 14, 2010 at 5:50 PM
- PaigeR530 said...
I definitely thing she's gone too far...she looks so fake. Have you seen a picture from the first season on The Hills? It's incredible how different she looks even from her first plastic surgery "session."
- January 14, 2010 at 6:37 PM
- Alison said...
That girl is a freak. Seriously. I actually really feel sorry for her. What has gone wrong in her life that she feels the need to change her entire body with plastic surgery??? It's sad.
- January 14, 2010 at 8:01 PM
- allison @ designing woman said...
i am a big fan of plastic surgery because a. i know i will need it one day and b. i reallllly hope i can afford it. BUT, I don't want to EVER look like i've gone too far... i would just like to be "well preserved". I need to see a close up before/after of heidi...
i think the botox has gone to her brain

She is a foolish foolish girl! I don't think she looked bad before. I bet Spencer is pumping these crazy thoughts about her body in her head.

- Erin said...
I really can't even handle her anymore. This is OVER the top. I am not scared to "fix" what is broken, but seriously. She had liposuction to her neck????? Hello- that is crazy at 20 years old. She needs HELP.

I am all for plastic surgery
but there s a point that shouldn't be crossed.
Mainly God made you the way you are.
I just think that she went a bit to far.
I am all for having breast implants, nose jobs, getting one or two face lifts and some liposuction....etc
but I am not for is as a way of "staying fit"
I think that when you young (up to 50 ;)
you should be able to upkeep your looks with a healthy life style.
I think that it should be the doctors job to tell their patient when they have had enough.
People see plastic surgery as a way of staying fit what is wrong.
It's a way of changing one or two things and that's that.
I mainly blame doctors for allowing people to get addicted to plastic surgery.
