The Fairy Godmother
Wish granter
Prince Charming (son, deceased)
|"I told you ogres don't live happily ever after!"
The Fairy Godmother is the main antagonist of Shrek 2. She is Prince Charming's mother, King Harold's former boss, and Fiona's Godmother. She also owns her own potion factory business.
During time of Shrek 1 (Shrek 4 flashback)Edit
The Fairy Godmother is mentioned by King Harold and Queen Lilian; while they going to make a deal with Rumpelstiltskin to end Fiona's curse (since she had been in the Dragon's Keep for many years), despite Harold reminding Lilian that Fairy Godmother insisted only True Love's Kiss would break the curse and his discomfort with the deceitful man. The queen then stated "I don't trust that woman, Harold."
Shrek 2Edit
In Shrek 2 she appears as the main antagonist. When King Harold and Queen Lillian ask her to help their cursed daughter Princess Fiona, the Fairy Godmother tells them to lock her away in a dragon-guarded castle to await rescue by her son Prince Charming. Fiona is cursed by a witch, causing her to turn into an ogress at sunset and return to human form at sunrise (though considering the Fairy Godmother's true nature, it is possible that she is the one who cursed Fiona to begin with so that she could manipulate the situation as a part of her plan.).
The Fairy Godmother is first seen when Fiona goes to her bedroom balcony and cries, her tears supposedly calling to the Fairy Godmother. Arriving, the Fairy Godmother is surprised to learn that Fiona is married to an ogre named Shrek. To learn more, she picks up her son and goes to confront Fiona's father Harold, who reveals that Shrek had gone to the castle and freed Fiona first. The Fairy Godmother convinces Harold to find a way to get Shrek out of the picture before returning to her "cottage", which is actually a large factory where she manufactures spells and potions.
While she's there, she is brewing a love potion, which included "a drop of desire, a pinch of passion and just a hint of lust". She is then visited by Shrek, Donkey, and Puss, who come to her for help. However, she spites him by saying that ogres don't live happily ever after.
When Shrek leaves, she later learns he stole one of her potions (the Happily Ever After potion to be specific), and realizes that she could use this to her advantage. She and Charming go to the castle where Charming poses as a transformed Shrek while the Fairy Godmother arranges for the real Shrek (transformed by the potion) to witness a "moment" between Charming and Fiona, making him believe she's fallen for Charming. She uses his grief to seemingly gently convince him to stop living in a fairytale, and that if he truly loves Fiona he'll let her go. The plan works at first but is ultimately blown when she and Charming are summoned by Harold to the Poisoned Apple tavern.
When Charming complains that Fiona isn't warming up to him, Harold wants to call the whole thing off, declaring that you can't force someone to fall in love. Undeterred, the Fairy Godmother gives Harold the love potion from earlier. She tells him to have Fiona drink some, which will make her fall in love with the first man she kisses. She also tells him to make sure that Charming is the one to kiss her. Harold tries to defy her, but she then blackmails him by reminding him that she helped him with his happily ever after and that she can take it away just as easily, making Harold give in. Then when Charming calls her his mother, they hear someone exclaim "Mother?!" and look outside to see Shrek, Donkey, and Puss, the three of them having heard the whole thing.
Realizing the jig is up, the Fairy Godmother captures the trio and has them imprisoned while she and Charming attend a royal ball.
While they're there, the Fairy Godmother notices Fiona is put off due to Charming's behavior. She then declares to the crowd of dedicating a song to Fiona and "Prince Shrek" and sings Holding Out for A Hero, causing Fiona and Charming to dance.
The plan almost works until Shrek arrives, leading to a fight over the Fairy Godmother's wand. She orders her son to kiss Fiona since she's already taken the potion. Once he does, Fairy Godmother is shocked to see Fiona headbutting Charming as a response. It turns out that Harold didn't give Fiona the potion after all. Charming manages to recover his mother's wand and throws it to her. Enraged, she turns to Shrek and Fiona, exclaiming, "I told you ogres don't live happily ever after!"
She unleashes an energy bolt from her wand presumably to kill Shrek, but Harold jumps in at the last moment. The spell reflects off his breastplate and hits the Fairy Godmother. She is seemingly unharmed for a few seconds and attempts try to shoot shrek again, but then her body suddenly bursts into bubbles and sparkles. There's nothing left of her but her broken glasses and her dim wand.
Shrek the ThirdEdit
Although she does not appear physically in the film, Charming keeps an autographed photo of her and plans to avenge her death by killing Shrek. It's also shown that "King" Charming has a doll model based on her. It contains a secret red button to alert his knights and guards of any danger.
"Our happily ever after is almost complete Mommy." - Prince Charming
At the end of the film, when Charming is about to be toppled by a stone tower he cries out "Mommy" before the tower lands on top of him.
Shrek Forever AfterEdit
Along with many other characters of the franchise, Fairy Godmother makes a cameo appearance in the end credits scene of the film.
Thriller NightEdit
Fairy Godmother appears as a zombie besides other deceased villains of the series, such as son Prince Charming, Lord Farquaad and Rumpelstiltskin. Except for the growl she makes when emerging from the ground, she doesn't have any lines in the short film. Here, Fairy Godmother wears a pink dress instead of the usual blue dress. She is voiced by Pinky Turzo.
Video Game AppearancesEdit
Shrek 2: The GameEdit
The Fairy Godmother appears as the main antagonist and final boss in the game, though her appearance is somewhat different. She has a pink dress (instead of blue like the film) and looks far older than in the film as well.
She is faced twice within the game; she fights Red Riding Hood when the player breaks into her cottage and has to fight her on conveyor belts and again at the end of the game. She makes Trolls and Elves do her bidding and players eventually have to fight her in two periods. She fires lightning laser blasts and is protected by a magical bubble. Eventually the players overcome her and she blows up. In the Shrek 2's PC Game, the battle between Shrek and the Fairy Godmother is very simple, Shrek throws food at her and at the point in which she has no life, she blows up.
Shrek Smash and CrashEdit
The Fairy Godmother never actually appears in the game, but pictures and statues of her can be seen around the track. Also, at the beginning of Tournament mode, Donkey finds the Fairy Godmother's wand in which he uses it to turn various objects in karts. Fairy Godmother appears on the billboard in the Downtown of Far Far Away track. Racers can crash through the billboard to find a secret shortcut. Fairy Godmother's potion factory is also a playable race track and is known as Inside the Potion Factory. In this track, numerous pictures and statues can be seen of Fairy Godmother.
Shrek Forever After: The Video GameEdit
Rumpelstiltskin has changed Shrek's world and the ogre is in search for Princess Fiona's tiara at the Dragon's Keep. Rumpelstiltskin realizes that if Princess Fiona kisses Shrek before his "ogre day" is over, life goes back to normal and Rumpelstiltskin wouldn't be king anymore. So Rumpelstiltskin decides to negotiate with a greedy woman who would do his bindings if she could be "queen for a week". The devious woman was the Fairy Godmother.
The Fairy Godmother would be alive in Rumpelstiltskin's new world without Shrek's birth, and because she never met Shrek, she never, ever died.
When Shrek arrives at the "odd" Dragon's Keep, he discovers that Dragon is missing and that someone else is staying at the castle; the Fairy Godmother. She stands before Shrek, Donkey, and Puss in her usual blue dress, but it's ripped and covered in dirt. It seems that as king, Rumpelstiltskin hasn't been good for her business. The Fairy Godmother is also found wearing Fiona's tiara and parsing herself in a mirror (saying, "Ah! Fit for a fairy queen!").
Eventually, Shrek calls her "Granny" and she doesn't respond well, saying that that's no way to treat their "new queen". Soon, an epic battle begins with witches, poison apples, potions, and fire. Eventually, the Fairy Godmother surrenders and gives Shrek back Fiona's tiara and as she flies away from the castle, she screams in anger and says, "This doesn't mean anything, you know! I'm still the queen! You hear me?! THE QUEEN!".
Personality & TraitsEdit
The Fairy Godmother isn't like her classic benevolent counterpart who uses her magic for the right reasons. Instead, she is a conniving businesswoman who is only out to use others to benefit herself and her son Prince Charming. The Fairy Godmother isn't above blackmail; not only did she threaten Harold by taking away his happily ever after, but she proudly admits she that forces others to fall in love all the time. The Fairy Godmother is also very close to some of her previous clients (like King Harold) who she uses to her own advantage many times during the film.
She has no qualms about using her magic to get what she wants, and is spiteful to those who interfere with her plans or business. The Fairy Godmother is no fool; she uses any and every underhanded trick, some that make her appear more benevolent and kinder than she really is. She pretends to be gentle and kindly when the moment calls for it (her first appearance to Fiona, for example), but if there is any interference with her plans she shows her true colors. She is ruthless, vengeful, evil, cruel, selfish and will stop at nothing to remove those who stand in her way.
The only one the Fairy Godmother loves truly is her son, whom she dotes on, and wants to make king by marrying him to Fiona.
- Electrokinesis: As a magical being, The Fairy Godmother has many powers or abilities. Her method of teleportation is Smoke-Sparkling, which is channeled by her wand, like her other powers. She posses the power of Projection, which she uses to grant the people wishes, or whatever she wants. Also in her final scene in Shrek 2, she demonstrated the power of Electrokinesis, combined with the ability of Spell Casting, when she throws to Shrek and Fiona a blast of electricity, and Harold gets in the firing line, causing to the blast to reverse the Happily Ever After potion or spell. She also posses the power of Telekinesis, which she also channels by her wand, to trap Shrek in Fiona's bedroom, and Animation to give inanimate objects a life of their own. Also, as mentioned before, she posses two basic abilities, Spell Casting, and obviously (because of the many potions that she sell) Potion making.
- Telekinesis: The Fairy Godmother has the ability to to move all the objects around her.
- Animation: She can make objects talk, move, and live. She can create animation objects by using magic.
- Flight: She can levitate and hover.
- Cloth Manipulation: She can manipulate her clothes, mean that she can shapeshif ther clothes and any design, shape, and form.
- The Fairy Godmother is the first female villain introduced in the series, the second being Rapunzel, the third being Fifi, and the forth being Jill.
- She is one of only two villains from the Shrek franchise to have been confirmed dead, the other being Lord Farquaad.
- There is the picture of Cinderella in her factory. Many fans think that she is Cinderella's fairy godmother. there has also been theory going around that she is evil twin of Cinderella's godmother.
- The portraits of the Fairy Godmother in her factory, as well as Charming's portrait of her, show her with brown eyes. However, the Fairy Godmother in the flesh has ice blue eyes.
- It is unclear as to what arrangement she had made with King Harold in order to curse Fiona, but it is likely to be the same threat she made to him in Shrek 2.
- The stare down between her and Shrek is reminiscent of the Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant stand off.
- Not including Lord Farquaad, Fairy Godmother is the only villain in the series who did not appear in a previous film before the film in which they were the main antagonist.
- She seems to eat when she is stressed, since she requested food several times in the film when she was stressed. This has caused her to start a diet.
- She enjoys anything that is deep fried or covered in chocolate

Okay, so awhile ago I got it into my head (thanks to FettDad) that I could take a 12" Boba Fett and a 12" Jango Fett, borrow some extras from Jango and make an 12" SE Boba.
The 12" Jango comes with a spare set of gauntlets/hands, as well as both the Arena and Rainbow JP's.
I also have had my ESB Fett sitting on my 1:6 scale die cast Ducati Desmosedici "Troy Bayliss" edition model bike. It fits perfectly, so I decided maybe I should get one and "Bobafy" it.
I got started a few days ago by carefully cutting the ROTJ style flamethrower from the spare Jango gauntlet, the same with the ESB flamethrower from the Boba gaunt. I think glued the Jango flamethrower to the Boba gauntlet.
Next, I removed Boba's girthbelt and painted it red, as well as adding some weathering details to the shoulder bells, and turning the pouches around the correct direction.
Then I got some Krylon Burgandy matte and sprayed the gaunts. I removed the tires from the wheels of the bike, masked off an area of the front fairing on the bike and sprayed those, as well, to represent the gaunts.
I then completely disassembled the Ducati down to the frame, masked off the pre-selected areas and layed down the Testor's medium green, then misted with Krylon hunter green, and weathered by misting with Krylon ultra flat black and Krylon "satin brown boots matte" and let dry. All these areas represent the armor and helmet.
Once dry, I removed the masking and re-masked in order to spray the front rotors, rear over-fairing and front fender. These were sprayed with Krylon bauhaus yellow gloss to represent the shoulder bells and knees. They were then misted with the black, and I added some of the more noticeable black weathering details of the ROTJ shoulder bells.
I masked the frame and sprayed it with Testor's flat light aircraft grey, misted it with black and the brown, in order to represent the flight suit and flack vest.
Then I re-installed the gaunts/ hands on the 12" Boba and sat down with a silver sharpy to replicate the weathering/damage on the ROTJ gaunts.
On the bike... I completely reassembled it and sat down with the silver sharpy, starting with the rims and rotars and began to add weathering/damage to the entire bike.
At this point, All I have left to finish is mounting the rainbow pack to the 12" Boba (after adding some weathering details), and adding "kill stripes" across the bottom of the left fairing, cutting display slots into that fairing, painting the "family" emblem onto the right fairing, adding some more accurate armor damage to the left/right fairings, dremel'ing a helmet dent into the left side of the tank, and finally painting the shoulder bell bantha skull onto the rear over-fairing.
Here's a couple...

With prosperity comes responsibility. That's the lesson electrical contractors in this year's Top 50 list learned in 2005 (click here to see Top 50 chart). For the second year in a row, sales for electrical and datacom services grew in record numbers, totaling more than $7.3 billion. The average gain measured 16.6%, well above last year's average gain of 11.6%. Almost half of the 50 firms reported a percentage change of more than 10%, and only 10 firms accounted for a negative ...

Back on tram 17 this morning, now it seems quite easy to make our way around. We go the other direction today and end up in the main old town square.
We have a look at Beautiful St. Nicholas Church. This threw us for a moment realizing there are 2 churches of the same name. This one at the Old Town Square was completed in 1735. It replaced a parish church, mentioned in records dating back as early as 1273. It wasn't until 1901. It has the most beautiful chandelier that looks like a crown. There is also a statue of St. George slaying a dragon. He was a popular chap all over the world.
We crossed the square to see the Prague Astronomical Clock
There is a huge crowd to watch the clock, the crowd is on the main road and believe it or not a car tries to come through, with people getting mad at him and also at the horse and carriage coming along behind. Silly people, they know what happens each day on the hour – hoards of people come here.
We are now into the Jewish Quarters or Ghetto as it was called. This area has been in existence since the early times of Prague when all the Jewish people had to live together in the same area. I tour the Jewish Museum or the Maisel Synagogue, it is interesting, some old documents, chests, Torah protectors, pointers, crowns, and curtains. No pictures in here and yet everyone was taking pictures.
We then went to the Spanish Synagogue, this is very beautiful inside, the pictures speak for themselves. Upstairs there is the exhibition, History of the Jews in Bohemia and Moravia from Emancipation to the Present. It was interesting how they asked for and got to store most of their silver synagogue pieces during the war, with the permission of the German Army, and got it back after the war.
Next was the Pinkas Synagogue where all the names of Czech Jews, who died during the Second World War, are written on all the walls, also the Jewish settlements that were destroyed.
From here you exit into the Old Jewish Cemetery. The cemetery was established in the early 15th century, along with the Old-New Synagogue it is one of the most important surviving monuments in Prague's Jewish Town. The oldest tombstone of poet and scholar Avigdor Kara is dated 1439. There are just under 12,000 tombstones but the number of persons buried here is much greater.
Next was the Klausen Synagogue, dated from 1689. This was not only the largest synagogue, but also served as Prague's Burial Society
I ended up exiting somewhere far from where Len sat waiting for me at the entrance so now I had to find my way back to the entrance to find him. Frustrating for me.
We look for a place to eat and stop at a little caf� and go over the menu. Len asks the waiter what are potato dumplings, he just looks at us and says potato dumplings are potato dumplings and shrugs his shoulders. We leave.
We go back to the main square to a restaurant we seen when we first came there. We sit down and wait to be served, finally I wave at a waitress. A water comes over and waves his hand at us and tells us if we are in a hurry to go to McD's. I was just floored at his comment, especially since he probably had no idea at how long we had been sitting there. We ordered and get our food. Len's fried cheese and chips weren't really hot, my chocolate milk shake was like chocolate milk. We finished and when we went to pay the waiter tried to talk to us about the waving again. When I slowly said to him 'you had not idea how long we were sitting there and you were more interested in clearing tables than serving us' it went over his head, or he chose not to understand what I was saying. Their potato pancakes weren't as good as the ones in Krakow, they had spices and some seeds in them.
We walked through the square and down to the river and along it to the National Theatre Building. We tried to find a way in but it isn't open.
We are right close to the #17 tram so we hop on and catch a ride back to the campground.
Len made a delicious super of hot dogs. It looks like it might be a nice evening and a little warmer than last night. It is dark by 10 now so it is early to bed.

Here are some of our reasons:
1. Most shipped packages (ups) are small orders which means more work per package: Less secretarial work. less labeling, less complaints in general BECAUSE THE BIG ORDER FOLKS TEND TO KNOW A LITTLE MORE WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
2. Higher risk involved when the packages are not cared for by the producer or the purchaser. (TIME IN TRANSIT ISSUES)
3. In order to keep our success rate high we custom build the shipping boxes with lots of amenities for both ventilation, damage prevention, and numerous other types of bee loss's
a. This is neither cheap from either a time or material expense comparison as opposed to the regular old "packages"
4. Our shipped price includes a nightly trip to visit the UPS planes in either Sacramento or Oakland. We hold on to them till they "have to leave"
No handing them over to a driver. This eliminates the losses in the truck, distribution center and the second truck going to the plane.
5. A dozen other reasons to long to list.
Shipped packages may or may not be more expensive in the big picture. They are certainly can be more convenient for the customer in many situations.
For those who need to drive 100 miles one way to pick up a small order our service through UPS is right on track when all your true costs are included. On the other hand: If you live in bee country and want 100 it would be insane to pay the expenses that UPS requires to get them there promptly.
Like everything else in life people must weigh the cost vs benefit vs risk assessment and go from there.

Bien situé pour les transports urbains et les commerces.
Agence très efficace.

great apartment lived up to expectations. The area is nice although a bit far from the center, but public transport makes it easy.
I recommend!
Lovely apartment and great location!
7 ladies, 60 yrs +, lived in the apartment for one week. We are very satisfied with its location and the nearness to the bakery shop and the butcher close to our entrance.They supplied us with good products for our breakfast.
It was a little more than 10 minutes walk to the Old Town.
The apartment is well equipped, but we missed an extra towel per person when we stayed as long as one week. The service of your office in Miodowa street was very good with helpful personell assisting us.
Very good apartment in secured building. Next to sluzew metro station. you don't need to rent a car. You can buy almost everything in small markets around. we enjoyed very much our vacation in warsaw. But you have to check the arrival time. The company is placed near the old town, far from the apartment and they will give you the key there as written (1600). Also, you have to bring everything needed to operate the washing machine and dishwasher. The dishwasher is leaking. The temperature is warm in september. I guess its hot there during summer. The kitchen is almost empty, you have to bring everything.
Everything was perfect! The appartment is comfortable and clean and it has a great view. The owners are really kind. I recommend it for your stay in Warsaw

A look at the INL's research on hydraulic fracking
IDAHO FALLS - Researchers at the Idaho National Laboratory say the IIntermountain West Region has great potential for unconventional energy resources.
Scientists are in their second year of a three-year project on hydraulic fracking in the Bakken Formation region of eastern Montana.
Hydraulic Fracking begins by drilling a well, about one mile deep.
When scientists reach the level where there is natural gas and oil, drilling takes a horizontal turn for another mile. It's at this level where they do hydraulic fracking.
Scientists inject fluids at a high pressure into the well. About 5 million gallons of water are used for one test. The water pressure cracks the rock. Following the fracture, scientists inject what are called proppants. Proppants are sand or sand-like materials which are injected into the cracks to keep them open and allow for the gas and oil to be recovered.
One of the scientists on the team, Earl Mattson, runs tests on actual shale rock recovered from the drilling wells. "We squeeze it, we get the gas moving through it and we get the fundamental studies to say here's what's really going on this deep into the system," said Mattson.
Department manager for the Energy Resource Recovery and Sustainability Division, Robert Podgorney said the INL has a long history of environmental work in the region.
"Basing around the cleanup work around the Snake River Plain Aquifer. It's interesting to note a lot of the snake river plan aquifer is fractured rock. So we have a decades and decades of experience working with fluid flow and contaminate transport and fractured rock from our historical mission here at the site. So we take that knowledge right over to hydraulic fracturing but now we're modeling the fracturing and studying the fracturing aspects of it as well," said Podgorney.
This team is working with another organization at the Bakken Formation to look into unconventional fossil energy in the Intermountain West.
Podgorney said the idea of hydraulic fracking for unconventional gas will be in the works for decades. He added the potential oil and gas resources in the western corridor would exceed those seen in Saudi Arabia.
"The advent of this hydraulic fracturing and directional drilling have revolutionized the oil and gas industry where now you're looking at, the United States could be an energy exporter by 2020 or 2030. So there's a very huge resource there, but along with that there's a lot of consequences that have to be thought out before you go blindly into doing those type of developments," said Podgorney.
The team did research before moving onto this area, especially since fracking at the Bakken Formation is in a region which has historically supported grazing and agriculture.
"At the end of it, we want to provide the decision-makers in in the area with ways to develop the area and minimize impacts to the aquifer," said hydrologist Tom Wood.
"There's a lot of hype on both sides of the story, but we're just doing the science to truly understand what's going on with the system. We provide unbiased research is what it really boils down to," said Podgorney.
A few of the scientists will be participating in a workshop put on by the Environmental Protection Agency next week to discuss the impacts of hydraulic fracking on the environment.

Posted: April 8, 1999 in ACE Press Releases
SAN DIEGO - Cardio kickboxing, one of the hottest fitness trends to hit gyms in recent years, is quickly replacing step aerobics and indoor cycling as the most popular fitness class in gyms across the nation. Spurred on by the success of Billy Blanks' Tae-Bo video workout, cardio kickboxing and other martial arts-inspired workouts are motivating many people to get off the couch and into a fitness program.
A hybrid form of boxing, martial arts and aerobics, cardio kickboxing is an intense total-body workout. Well-known as an excellent form of stress release, martial arts-inspired workouts also improve strength, aerobic fitness and flexibility. The variety of movements used in kickboxing can sharpen reflexes and improve coordination and balance. In addition, most participants can expect to burn an average of 350 to 450 calories an hour during a typical cardio kickboxing class.
"Some people become bored quickly with linear-type activities such as jogging and walking – making it difficult to stick with an exercise program," explains Richard Cotton, chief exercise physiologist for the American Council on Exercise (ACE). "The variety of movements found in martial arts-based workouts may be enough to pique the interest of the easily bored and keep them working out for the long run."
However, beginners should beware – it's important to have a solid foundation of fitness before beginning martial arts-inspired exercises. Even basic kickboxing classes (including the introductory Tae-Bo workout video) require above average endurance, flexibility and strength. Learning and maintaining correct technique is also very important. The basic kickboxing moves and combinations can be quite difficult, so beginners should expect to spend a fair amount of time mastering proper form and technique.
Some common mistakes beginners make are:
If you plan on taking a kickboxing class, keep in mind that most gyms do not offer classes based on progression. For this reason, an hour-long kickboxing session can be unsafe for exercisers who are not conditioned for high intensity workouts. Even if your current routine features a hearty combination of cross-training workouts, you should take it easy at first and add intensity as your body adapts. The high intensity levels that make these classes difficult for novices is also what makes them an effective, rewarding exercise for the very fit.
Teachers may have boxing or martial arts training, but not the appropriate fitness knowledge and experience necessary to lead a safe and effective class. Before signing up for a class, make sure the instructor is properly certified by an organization such as ACE. Consumers can call ACE at (800) 825-3636 to check if an instructor is ACE-certified.
The American Council on Exercise (ACE) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the benefits of physical activity and protecting consumers against unsafe and ineffective fitness products and instruction.

Toyota Prius Becomes Top Selling Vehicle in California
Brandon Hill
January 23, 2013 11:20 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Ford's F-Series only manges seventh place
The Prius is often the butt of automotive jokes for its oddball styling, pokey acceleration, and tree-hugging persona, but it appears that Toyota is having the last laugh -- at least in California. When the sales numbers were tallied up for 2012, the Prius reigned supreme as the best-selling vehicle in California with 60,688 units sold. In fact, over one-quarter of all
sold in the United States for 2012 were purchased in California.
Economical cars from Toyota and Honda made up the top five sold cars in California with the Civic, Camry, Accord, and Corolla taking second, third, fourth, and fifth place respectively. The
Ford F-Series
, which is the best-selling vehicle for the entire United States, only managed to place seventh on the sales list in California.
Toyota's Prius is rated at 51/48/50 (city/highway/combined), which makes it a perfect fit for California's congested highways.
"Environmental consciousness and changing trends are large contributors," said Peter Welch, Chief Executive of the California New Car Dealers Association. "Eight years ago everyone was driving sport utilities and trucks, now it's almost trendy to drive a fuel-efficient hybrid or plug-in."
Toyota's Prius may be sitting high on its throne right now, but there are plenty of challengers to its hybrid dominance. Volkswagen is looking to win over some consumers who aren't sold on its
TDI diesel engines
with the
Jetta Hybrid
, and Ford has two competent hybrids -- the Fusion Hybrid and the C-MAX -- in its stable that promise 47 mpg combined (although
real world results
suggest otherwise).
All three of the aforementioned models achieve lofty fuel economy numbers with conventional styling that is more appealing to the masses.
LA Times
"There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance." -- Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer

In a surprise announcement this morning, President Barack Obama was named the winner of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. The prize is one of the highest honors given to an individual or a group. The announcement was made in Oslo, Norway, headquarters of the prize committee.
The Nobel Committee said that Obama's efforts to make the world a better place were the reason for the award. They said that the President's goals to reduce the world's supply of nuclear weapons, to improve relations with Muslim countries and to increase the U.S. role in dealing with climate change made him the best candidate for the award. There were 172 other people nominated for the prize.
"I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many [important people] that have been honored by this prize," Obama said. "I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations to confront the challenges of the 21st century."
The Norwegian Nobel Committee's chairman, Thorbjoern Jagland noted: "Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future."
A Big Surprise
The award was a total surprise to the President, who was asleep when the announcement was made. (Oslo time is six hours ahead of Washington, D.C.) White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Obama heard the news when he woke up before 6:00 this morning. The Norwegian Nobel Committee decided not to let Obama know before they made the public announcement. "Waking up a president in the middle of the night isn't something you do," Jagland said.
Since 1901, scientists and scholars have been awarded Nobel Prizes for their outstanding achievements in science, literature and peace. The Nobel Prize was named for Swedish dynamite inventor Alfred Nobel. He left almost all of his fortune to help set up the prizes. In his will, Nobel said that he wanted the prizes to be awarded to those who have had the "greatest benefit to mankind." Since then, the award committee has gone beyond peace in awarding the prize. Now it includes people and groups who are making efforts to fight poverty, illness and environmental issues.
Until Obama's win, the last U.S. President to receive the prize while in office was Woodrow Wilson in 1919. The other was Theodore Roosevelt who was given the award in 1906. Former President Jimmy Carter received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, more than 20 years after he left office.

We enjoyed our holiday in Croatia very Josko. The description of the accommodation met to fully and the apartment was in a fairly clean condition. The bay is the right to relax, if you love peace and want to spend an undisturbed beach holiday. Josko is a very open-minded young sympathetic landlord with whom you like to chat a bit.
We think that the bay Uvala Luka is a place to which you can always take a second times.
Christine & Markus
Wir haben unseren Kroatienurlaub bei Josko sehr genossen. Die Beschreibung der Unterkunft traf voll und ganz zu und die Wohnung war auch in einem recht sauberen Zustand. Die Bucht ist das richtige zum entspannen, wenn man die Ruhe liebt und einen ungestörten Strand-Urlaub verbringen möchte. Josko ist eine sehr sympatischer aufgeschlossener junger Vermieter mit dem man gerne auch etwas plaudert.

To make a girl cum can at times be challenging. Sometimes a lot has to be done to get to this but at times very little need to be done. However the best way for AlexPettyFerWeb.com to make a girl cum or have an orgasm can be best done by stimulating erotic body parts and following clear guidelines of the same. For some girls to cum it does not necessarily require actual penetration of penis into vagina. The following are however some of the procedures need to be observed.
Right conditions
Although girls vary, quite a number needs the following conditions if they are to come.
· Atmosphere must be romantic. This involves the general set up of where the girl is to be stimulated to come or get an orgasm. The environment must be clean and tidy with no foul smell. A little artificial scent can work magic as girls are known to like nice smelling cologne and perfume. This will no doubt excite her.
· The surrounding must also be comfortable and pleasant. Regardless of where the girl is to be stimulated, Alex can do well by making the environment comfortable. For instance, if the girl is to be stimulated on the beech then the sand must be soft enough to make her comfortable. Also a girl can easily come if stimulation is done in a secluded place.
· Make the girl to like you. Girls are different from boys. This is because they can come quite easily if stimulated by the person they like. For Alex he should buy presents, be humorous, take her out, be a good listener and do more to draw her closer. This in addition will make her feel appreciated and wanted. When the final time comes she will no doubt come.
· Use lubricants. If it is clitoris which is being stimulated, sores can result as result of excess stimulation. This can make a girl not to come. This irritation can be avoided by use of good natural lubricant.
Take time with the entire process
The girl also needs to be mentally prepared before stimulation and more clitoris. This process includes doing the following among other things.
· Being patient and avoiding being too demanding. Patience is vital to sexual intercourse. Things need not to be rushed as this will leave a girl far a way from getting orgasm.
· Start by curdling and kissing her passionately in a romantic environment. Do not even be in a rush to touch her private parts. If this is done with care she might as well come even before sexual intercourse. Be gentle while doing this as the girl will guide you of what to do next.
· Should the next step involve actual intercourse be gentle and let the girl continue directing you. You will be shocked at how fast she will come.
Be an expert in clitoris stimulation
Many men believe that girls can only come through sexual stimulation of the clitoris. This may be true in some cases but not all. This is because sexual intercourse alone is not enough. Other suggested ways of clitoris stimulation besides sexual intercourse includes.
· Employ further stimulation of clitoris by finger or mouth.
· Talk to the girl and ask her what exactly turn her on. Alex you will be shocked at how far you were fro the reality. Do not try to force techniques that do not work.
· Seek the use of a sex toy. Vibrators can be handy and trendy in faster clitoris stimulation.
The above discussed processes are some of the most important steps on how to make a girl reach an orgasm and cum.

Chess Programming Part IV: Basic Search
search move moves depth position game possible play minimax
Anyway, this month's installment focuses on the basics of two-agent search in strategy games: why it is useful, how to do it, and what it implies for the computer's style of play. The techniques I will discuss apply equally well to most two-player games, but by themselves, they are not quite sufficient to play good chess; next month, I will describe advanced techniques which significantly increase playing strength and search efficiency, usually at the same time.
Why Search?
Well, basically, because we are not smart enough to do without it.
A really bright program might be able to look at a board position and determine who is ahead, by how much, and what sort of plan should be implemented to drive the advantage to fruition. Unfortunately, there are so many patterns to discern, so many rules and so many exceptions, that even the cleverest programs just aren't very good at this sort of thing. What they are good at, however, is computing fast. Therefore, instead of trying to figure out good moves just by looking at a board, chess programs use their brute force to do it: look at every move, then at every possible countermove by the opponent, etc., until the processor melts down.
Deep searches are an easy way to "teach" the machine about relatively complicated tactics. For example, consider the knight fork, a move which places a knight on a square from which it can attack two different pieces (say, a rook and the queen). Finding a way to represent this type of position logically would require some effort, more so if we also had to determine whether the knight was itself protected from capture. However, a plain dumb 3-ply search will "learn" the value of a fork on its own: it will eventually try to move the knight to the forking square, will test all replies to this attack, and then capture one of the undefended pieces, changing the board's material balance. And since a full-width search looks at everything, it will never miss an opportunity: if there is a 5-move combination, however obscure, that leads to checkmate or to a queen capture, the machine will see it if its search is deep enough. Therefore, the deeper the search, the more complicated the "plans" which the machine can stumble upon.
Grandpa MiniMax
The basic idea underlying all two-agent search algorithms is Minimax. It dates back from the Dark Ages; I believe Von Neumann himself first described it over 60 years ago.
Minimax can be defined as follows:
- Assume that there is a way to evaluate a board position so that we know whether Player 1 (whom we will call Max) is going to win, whether his opponent (Min) will, or whether the position will lead to a draw. This evaluation takes the form of a number: a positive number indicates that Max is leading, a negative number, that Min is ahead, and a zero, that nobody has acquired an advantage.
- Max's job is to make moves which will increase the board's evaluation (i.e., he will try to maximize the evaluation).
- Min's job is to make moves which decrease the board's evaluation (i.e., he will try to minimize it).
- Assume that both players play flawlessly, i.e., that they never make any mistakes and always make the moves that improve their respective positions the most.
Max assumes that Min will always play perfectly. Therefore, he knows that, if he makes move A, his opponent will reply with D, resulting in a final evaluation of -2 (i.e., a win for Min). However, if Max plays B, he is sure to win, because Min's best move still results in a positive final value of 5. So, by the Minimax algorithm, Max will always choose to play B, even though he would score a bigger victory if he played A and Min made a mistake!
The trouble with Minimax, which may not be immediately obvious from such a small example, is that there is an exponential number of possible paths which must be examined. This means that effort grows dramatically with:
- The number of possible moves by each player, called the branching factor and noted B.
- The depth of the look-ahead, noted d, and usually described as "N-ply", where N is an integer number and "ply" means one move by one player. For example, the mini-game described above is searched to a depth of 2-ply, one move per player.
Luckily, there are ways to cut the effort by a wide margin without sacrificing accuracy.
Alphabeta: Making Minimax Feasible (a little)
Suppose that you have already searched Max' move B in the mini-game above. Therefore, you know that, at best, Max' score for the entire game will be 5.
Now, suppose that you begin searching move A, and that you start with the path A-D. This path results in a score of -2. For Max, this is terrible: if he plays A, he is sure to finish with, at best, -2, because Min plays perfectly; if A-C results in a score higher than A-D's, Min will play A-D, and if A-C should be even worse (say, -20), Min would take that path instead. Therefore, there is no need to look at A-C, or at any other path resulting from move A: Max must play B, because the search has already proven that A will end up being a worse choice no matter what happens.
This is the basic idea being the alphabeta algorithm: once you have a good move, you can quickly eliminate alternatives that lead to disaster. And there are a lot of those! When combined with the transposition table we discussed earlier in the series, and which saves us from examining positions twice if they can be reached by different combinations of moves, alphabeta turns on the Warp drive: in the best case, it will only need to examine roughly twice the square root of the number of nodes searched by pure Minimax, which is about 2,500 instead of 1.5 million in the example above.
Ordering Moves to Optimize Alphabeta
But how can we achieve this best case scenario? Do we even need to?
Not really. It turns out that Alphabeta is always very efficient at pruning the search tree, as long as it can quickly find a pretty good move to compare others to. This means that it is important to search a good move first; the best case happens when we always look at the best possible moves before any others. In the worst possible case, however, the moves are searched in increasing order of value, so that each one is always better than anything examined before; in this situation, alphabeta can't prune anything and the search degenerates into pure, wasteful Minimax.
Ordering the moves before search is therefore very important. Picking moves at random just won't do; we need a "smarter" way to do the job. Unfortunately, if there was an easy way to know what the best move would turn out to be, there would be no need to search in the first place! So we have to make do with a "best guess".
Several techniques have been developed to order the possible moves in as close to an optimal sequence as possible:
- Apply the evaluation function to the positions resulting from the moves, and sort them. Intuitively, this makes sense, and the better the evaluation function, the more effective this method should be. Unfortunately, it doesn't work well at all for chess, because as we will see next month, many positions just can't be evaluated accurately!
- Try to find a move which results in a position already stored in the transposition table; if its value is good enough to cause a cutoff, no search effort needs to be expended.
- Try certain types of moves first. For example, having your queen captured is rarely a smart idea, so checking for captures first may reveal "bonehead" moves rapidly.
- Extend this idea to any move which has recently caused a cutoff at the same level in the search tree. This "killer heuristic" is based on the fact that many moves are inconsequential: if your queen is en prise, it doesn't matter whether you advance your pawn at H2 by one or two squares; the opponent will still take the queen. Therefore, if the move "bishop takes queen" has caused a cutoff during the examination of move H2-H3, it might also cause one during the examination of H2-H4, and should be tried first.
- Extend the killer heuristic into a history table. If, during the course of the game's recent development, moving a piece from G2 to E4 has proven effective, then it is likely that doing so now would still be useful (even if the old piece was a bishop and has been replaced by a queen), because conditions elsewhere on the board probably haven't changed that much. The history heuristic is laughably simple to implement, needing only a pair of 64x64 arrays of integer counters, and yields very interesting results.
Iterative Deepening AlphaBeta
If you are searching a position to depth 6, the ideal move ordering would be the one yielded by a prior search of the same position to the same depth. Since that is obviously impossible, how about using the results of a shallower search, say of depth 5?
This is the idea behind iterative deepening: begin by searching all moves arising from the position to depth 2, use the scores to reorder the moves, search again to depth 3, reorder, etc., until you have reached the appropriate depth.
This technique flies in the face of common sense: a tremendous amount of effort is duplicated, possibly 8-10 times or more. Or is it?
Consider the size of a search tree of depth d with branching factor B. The tree has B nodes at depth 1, B*B at depth 2, B*B*B at depth 3, etc. Therefore, searching to depth (d-1) yields a tree B times smaller than searching to depth d! If B is large (and remember that it is about 35 during the middle game in chess), the overwhelming majority of the effort expended during search is devoted to the very last ply. Duplicating a search to depth (d-1) is a trifling matter: in fact, even if it yielded no advantages whatsoever, iterative deepening would only cost less than 4% extra effort on a typical chess position!
However, the advantages are there, and they are enormous: using the results of a shallower search to order the moves prior to a deeper one produces a spectacular increase in the cutoff rate. Therefore, IDAB actually examines far fewer nodes, on average, than a straight AB search to the same depth using any other technique for move ordering! When a transposition table enters the equation, the gain is even more impressive: the extra work performed to duplicate the shallow parts of the search drops to nothing because the results are already stored in the table and need not be computed again.
Computer Playing Style
Iterative deepening alphabeta combined with a transposition table (and a history table to kickstart the effort) allows the computer to search every position relatively deeply and to play a reasonable game of chess. That being said, its Minimax ancestor imposes a very definite playing style on the computer, one which is not exactly the most spectacular in the world.
For example, suppose that the machine searches a position to depth 8. While looking at a certain move, it sees that every possible response by the opponent would let it win the game in dazzling manner... Except for a single opaque, difficult, obfuscated and almost maddeningly counter-intuitive sequence, which (if followed to perfection) would allow the opponent to salvage a small chance of eventually winning the game. Against a human player (even a Grandmaster), such a trap might turn the game into one for the history books.
However, if the machine then finds a boring move which always forces a draw, it will immediately discard the trap, because it assumes that the opponent would find the perfect counter, no matter how improbable that is, and that the draw is the best it can hope for!
As a result, you might say that machines play an overly cautious game, as if every opponent was a potential world champion. Combined with the fact that computers often can't search deep enough to detect the traps which human players devise against them, this allows very skilled humans to "waste time" and confuse the machine into making a blunder which they can exploit. (Human players also study their opponent's styles for weaknesses; if Kasparov had been given access to, say, a hundred games played by Deep Blue before their match, he might have been able to find the flaws in its game and beat it. But we'll never know for sure.)
Next Month
In Part V, we will discuss the limitations of straight, fixed-depth alphabeta search, and how to improve playing strength using techniques like the null-move heuristic, quiescence search, aspiration search and MTD(f), and the "singular extensions" which made Deep Blue famous. Hold on, we're almost done!

When you are friends with someone who you are not technically dating and one person decideds to dump the other, but because you can't dump someone you aren't in fact dating it's friendship dumped.
i.e. "She called me and asked me to leave her earrings and her camera in her car, when we have class in the same building on campus, and clearly would pass each other. And all her text messages lately are one word answers. I think I'm getting friendship dumped because I not ready to be in a relationship."
