Taken with my mobile phone so it's a bit grainy. Only changed brighness and contrast a bit, and removed a small patch of white wall from the background.
I'm just doing this fun - I don't want any prizes
Just for fun for a fun competition! The first sign of winter for me is the robin (and of course snow most importantly) in our back garden - I was lucky to capture him with a couple of male chaffinches all in a row in our snow covered hedges which I thought was unusual so I took a quick snap earlier today on my camcorder!

The picture shows a modern art statue in the square in front of the sport palace in EUR (Rome). I'm not sure what it is supposed to be, but in this holiday season it might be considered a modern christmas tree
This one has not been corrected at all.

I don't like Christmas
Even if this one needs translation for those non-Spanish speakers:
"Merry Christmas and happy new year" in Spanish we say "Feliz Navidad y próspero año nuevo" (prosperous, wishing economic wealth to all).This graffiti says "Merry falsehood and prosperous new trick" (In English it doesn't make sense as it makes in Spanish)

GoDaddy.com recently changed their website - disappointing like Yahoo - and one of the changes they made is how the log-in feature works.
Now when you click on the "Login" link on the Home Page, you get a Pop-Up Window (i.e. "Lightbox") asking for an Account # and Password.
How do I know where my "Log-In Credentials" are going in that pop-up window, since there is now "Address Bar" associated with it?!
For all I know, I could be sending things over an UNENCRYPTED connection to someone in Nigeria?! :eek:
This whole new setup makes me very nervous... :shifty:
No the most elegant solution; just view the source of the form using firebug and look for the action attribute of the form. You can see it's sending it to godaddys website using SSL.
That doesn't change the fact that on the backend the data could be sent to someone in Nigeria. Any way you slice it once you give them the data GoDaddy could be sharing it with anyone including the government. Though that goes for any company really. It just comes down to trusting your provider.
You're not following me...
On a normal website, you would click on the "Log-in" link, and be taken to another page (e.g. https://www.Debbie.com/log-in.php ) with a Web Form on that same page.
So when you submitted that form, you would be reassured that your Log-In Credentials were going directly from the web form at "log-in.php" to Debbie, Inc.'s server's. And, you would know that the data "in transit" was travelling safely over HTTPS.
With GoDaddy's website, first of all, you start off on http://www.GoDaddy.com/# which is NOT secure.
Next, after clicking on the link, you get the is Pop-Up Form and have no way of knowing if that Form is secure?! :-/
If you are on an unencrypted page to start with, and then you get a Pop-Up Form, would you trust that your Username/Password are being encrypted before they go to GoDaddy??
I wouldn't!!
And GoDaddy provides no way to get around this new "cutesy" design... :mad:
That is my concern!!
GoDaddy's login form is already acknowledged by security experts as hopelessly insecure: http://www.troyhunt.com/2013/05/your-login-form-posts-to-https-but-you.html
That's actually not the case. Imagine that https://www.Debbie.com/log-in.php contains this HTML:
<form action="http://www.somewhere-else.com/somewhere-else.php">
Just because you're viewing the form securely doesn't mean that it's submitting securely. Likewise, just because you're viewing the form at log-in.php doesn't mean that it's submitting to that same place.
So, how then can you know ahead of time whether your submission will be secure? Probably you can't. Sorry. Best you can do is to check after the fact by watching the network console.
Good point.
That's pretty screwed up!!!!!!!!!
I don't understand what you mean??
So, back to my original post...
Would YOU trust GoDaddy's Popup Login Form?? :-/
Did you see the link I posted? It answers your question.
What do you think, Jeff??
Your screenshot above seems to imply that the Log-In Popup is okay...
(Although that is a hell of a lot of work for "Jane User" to do to feel safe...) :rolleyes:
Ralph certainly doesn't seem to be a fan of GoDaddy!! :lol:
Did you have some bad experiences with them in the past??
[ot]Maybe I would have been better posting this in the "Security Forum"??
I'd be really interested to know what any "security gurus" out there think about all of this...[/ot]
The plot thickens...
I just found out from someone else that there is another way to login to your GoDaddy account here...
On the surface, it looks much better to me, but when I poke around using FireBug, I don't even see an HTML Form?!
Apparently that Login Form uses all JavaScript to log a person in. That probably scares me even more than the Popup Login?! :eek:
What do you think??
I think ralph's link is definitely worth watching and learning from. It talks about a security issue that isn't often covered. Their premise is that the security of the submission isn't all that matters, that sending the form itself must also be secure. Otherwise the form's markup could be altered in transit, for example, to insert a script that logs your keystrokes.
Which of these logins would you trust more...
1.) http://www.godaddy.com/# with a Pop-Up Form which supposedly uses Java "in an out of the norm process for logging in to prevent malicious activities"
2.) https://mya.godaddy.com
Also, would you ever use GoDaddy to Host a website?? (I have a VPS with them currently).
For all of my bashing in this thread, there are some things that attracted me to, and have kept me with GoDaddy...
a.) All Staff based in U.S.
b.) All Servers based in U.S.
c.) Affordable Servers for someone on a "shoe-string budget"
d.) 24/7 Phone & Chat Access
(Yeah, I think a lot of their technical people are clueless, but for a beginner like me, the 24/7 access is in some ways as important as having access to "experts" 9-to-5, if you follow.)
I hate to let something like a Log-In Form make me upend my life, but it does bother me...
And the last thing I need to to have issues with my Virtual Private Server when I "go live" soon...
At least the second page is https protected, so that looks better to me.
In the past, I've always heard it's not a good idea, as they are mainly a domain host. I've seen lots of people here having problems with various things like sending email, and it turns out that GD was limiting what they could do. However, things may have changed. Surely a VPS should give reasonable quality. I guess you should judge from the service you get. But there are thousands of good hosts in the US, so US-based is not much of a reason to choose GD on its own.
Would the fact that they don't use an HTML Form - I didn't even know you could do that - but instead entirely use JavaScript, freak you out as far as security goes?
Who does SitePoint use to host this website?
And are there any U.S.-based web hosting companies that you'd recommend?
I'm looking for ones that are reasonably priced, yet deal with serious hosting (e.g. businesses, e-commerce).
There is actually a form there in the HTML.
Not sure, but some kind of cloud hosting I think—too complex for me.
I used to use KnownHost. After a lot of research, I settled on them as the best and most cost-effective option for a VPS. After being with them for about 4 years, I can honestly say they were excellent, and I'd highly recommend them. The only reason I left them was because it's slow uploading stuff from Australia to the US, so I decided to move to a local host.
Oops, I took a second look, and see I missed it in FireBug.
So, it looks like JavaScript determines the Action location, right? (But, of course, how would I know it is going to HTTPS other than assuming GoDaddy cares about security?!)
Must be a "secret"?!
I'll have to check them out.
I don't think so.
action="login.aspx?spkey=GDMYA4+-130117125906001&target=https%3a%2f%2fmya.godaddy.com%2f"
Geesh, Ralph, you're starting to make me think I need glasses!!! :o
You know, after poking around some more, it looks like both of the Log-In Forms above ultimately point to...
The difference, of course, is that it is better to type in this...
...and get re-directed here...
...and then have the form submitted here...
...than it is to start here...
...than it is to start here... http://www.godaddy.com
Yes, that's the real problem.

Whispered in Heaven, Muttered in HellRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
'Twas whispered in Heaven, 'twas muttered in Hell,
And echo caught faintly the sound as it fell;
On the confines of Earth, 'twas permitted to rest,
And in the depths of the ocean its presence confessed;
'Twill be found in the sphere when 'tis riven asunder,
Be seen in the lightning and heard in the thunder;
'Twas allotted to man with his earliest breath,
Attends him at birth and awaits him at death,
Presides o'er his happiness, honor and health,
Is the prop of his house and the end of his wealth.
In the heaps of the miser, 'tis hoarded with care,
But is sure to be lost on his prodigal heir;
It begins every hope, every wish it must bound;
With the husbandman toils, and with monarchs is crowned;
Without it the soldier and seaman may roam,
But woe to the wretch who expels it from home!
In the whispers of conscience its voice will be found,
Nor e'er in the whirlwind of passion be drowned;
'Twill soften the heart; but though deaf be the ear,
It will make him acutely and instantly hear.
Set in shade, let it rest like a delicate flower;
Ah! Breathe on it softly, it dies in an hour.
AnswerThe letter "H"
This riddle was written by Catherine Maria Fanshawe, an English Romantic poet.

Bear Prefers Quizno's to Subway
A bear walks into Subway and then decides there is nothing worth eating there. Then as is expected he's hunted down and shot. I've walked out of Subway disappointed too, but i've never gotten shot.
Also, doesn't it look the bear didn't need the wheel chair access button? I think he used his hands.

DETROIT - Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano announced Thursday the resignation of his deputy chief and three new faces he was bringing in.
At a news conference, Ficano said he had accepted the resignation of Azzam Elder, who had been serving a 30-day suspension in connection with a severance scandal. He will be replaced by former U.S. Attorney General Jeffrey Collins.
The county has been under public and federal scrutiny since a severance scandal broke involving the county's former economic development head, Turkia Mullin.M
Mullin voluntarily left her job with the county to become CEO of Detroit Metropolitan Airport, but was given a $200,000 severance package. She and Ficano were criticized about the amount of the payment. Last month, she repaid the after-tax amount of $135,900.
Ficano has said protocols weren't followed in the severance deal. He suspended two officials involved in the deal and fired a contract worker. The FBI is investigating, too.
Ficano also announced former Ford employee Ray Byers would be the county's new director of economic development and Zenna Elhasan would be the new director of corporation council.

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) -- A bitter custody battle that included an international kidnapping and prison sentences for a former optometrist and his mother ended in gunfire at a Delaware courthouse, with the doctor's father killing his former daughter-in-law and another woman before fatally shooting himself.
Delaware State Police said 68-year-old Thomas Matusiewicz walked into the lobby of the New Castle County Courthouse on Monday, pulled out a .45-caliber semiautomatic pistol and shot 39-year-old Christine Belford and her 47-year-old friend Laura Mulford. He then exchanged fire with police, hitting two officers who were protected by armored vests.
Authorities were working Tuesday to understand how the killings were planned, questioning former optometrist and convicted kidnapper David Matusiewicz (muh-TOO'-suh-wits) about his father and searching the older man's home in Edcouch, Texas. The yard of the small single-story home was filled with a crime scene investigation truck and unmarked grey pickup trucks commonly driven by federal agents.
Sheriff Lupe Trevino said they were searching the premises on a request from Delaware authorities.
Belford and Mulford, both from Newark, were at the county courthouse on Monday to attend a child support arrears hearing for David Matusiewicz.
During the shootout, Thomas Matusiewicz suffered two gunshot wounds but died from a self-inflicted gunshot, said Delaware state police spokesman Sgt. Paul Shavack.
Strife over the divorce, custody battle and kidnapping stretched back years. In a bankruptcy filing in Texas last year, Thomas Matusiewicz noted that he and his wife, Lenore, along with his son and daughter, Amy Gonzalez, were defendants in a Delaware Superior Court lawsuit filed by Belford.
Amy's husband, Juan Gonzalez, said the acrimony had stressed out the entire close-knit family, but that they were shocked by Monday's shooting. Gonzalez said Lenore Matusiewicz told his wife she saw no signs that her husband was planning violence.
Gonzalez said he last saw Thomas Matusiewicz about a week ago as the family was preparing to drive east for Monday's court hearing and to visit a family member in New Jersey.
"I guess Tom had other plans," Gonzalez said. "We're still trying to figure out why he did that."
Gonzalez said his wife told FBI officials that her father had a brain tumor that went untreated for years and she wondered if it could have played a role in the shooting.
"He was changing, forgetting things," Gonzalez said.
At the heart of the long-running custody and child support battles are the former couple's daughters, ages 7, 9 and 10. In 2009, two of them were pictured with their mother in the Wilmington newspaper after returning home from Central America, where federal prosecutors said David Matusiewicz took his daughters after kidnapping them. They were shown as blonde, smiling youngsters. One sat in Belford's lap as her mother stroked her hair.
David Matusiewicz pleaded guilty in 2009 to federal fraud and kidnapping charges after fleeing to Nicaragua in a motor home with his mother and the three girls. Investigators said Matusiewicz, who was released from prison last year, kidnapped the girls after forging his ex-wife's name on a loan document.
According to court records, Matusiewicz took the girls to Central America in 2007 after telling Belford they were going to Disney World for two weeks. The two were divorced and sharing custody at the time.
Prosecutors say he forged his wife's signature to obtain nearly $250,000 from a Delaware bank, then sent the money to his parents' bank account and had his father transfer the money to a Bank of New Zealand account.
Thomas Matusiewicz was not charged in the scheme, but Lenore Matusiewicz pleaded guilty in state court to endangering the girls' welfare and was sentenced to 18 months in prison.
The attorney general's office on Tuesday obtained a court order forbidding Lenore Matusiewicz, 67, from having any contact with her grandchildren.
As investigators continued their probe into Monday's shooting and workers repaired shattered glass at the courthouse, David Matusiewicz made an initial appearance in federal court on charges that he violated his probation on the fraud and kidnapping convictions.
Matusiewicz was escorted into court wearing an orange jumpsuit with his hands cuffed behind his back. A federal magistrate ordered that he remain in custody pending a probable cause hearing Friday on the government's allegation.
Prosecutors say Matusiewicz sought permission on Jan. 8 to travel from Texas to Delaware, telling officials he would be staying with an uncle in Bayville, N.J., and that he failed to disclose that he spent Sunday night, the night before the shooting, at a home in Elkton, Md.
Telephone messages left at the New Jersey and Maryland addresses were not immediately returned.
Prosecutors also claim Matusiewicz is behind on child support payments of $2,200 a month and that he has yet to pay $9,674 in restitution and a $200 court assessment from his 2009 criminal case.
Lenore Matusiewicz attended Tuesday's hearing with another family member, but they declined to comment about Monday's shooting.
Ken Ryan from the Baltimore Field Division of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said the weapon used in Monday's shooting, a Glock Model 21, was purchased lawfully last year from a gun dealer in New Jersey. Ryan said about three other weapons were recovered from Matusiewicz's vehicle.
Sherman contributed from Edcouch, Texas. Associated Press writer Brett Zongker in Washington also contributed to this report.

HOUSTON - Bidders at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo went head to head, battling it out Houston style.
In the end, Chappie the steer, the junior market grand champion, sold for $350,000.
Kelton Long, 15, was the proud exhibitor of the steer. He said raising a grand champion takes lots of sacrifice and hard work.
"Hard work during the summer," said Long. "Waking up, taking care of them, getting them ready for the show every day during the summer and after school. Making sure they're really prepared."
Long said it was his father who inspired him to get into the steer-raising business.
"My dad did it when he was a child, and I thought it would be cool to follow him and do it to," said Long.
Long said he also competes in Fort Worth, the Dallas State Fair and also in San Antonio.
After Saturday's event, Long said he plans to use some of the winnings for a college fund, and save the rest. He said he hopes to go to Texas Tech with a major in agriculture.
Long has some advice for anyone who's thinking of getting into the business.
"If you're going to do it, you've to to make sure you're focused on it," said Long. "You have to want to do it and have a passion for it."

Bath shower mixer taps can be fixed to a bathtub so that you can perfectly control the temperature of the water that flows into the bath or shower with one easy motion. This single body style mixes cold and hot water; so that it comes out in a single stream. There are two handles fitted on either side that are used to control the water flow, which makes it very easy to regulate the temperature. Check out this definitive buying guide for bath shower mixer taps to find out more.
The Origins
Mixer taps are most commonly used in bathrooms and kitchens where the temperature of the water needs to be controlled quickly and conveniently. The first mixers were invented in 1880 by Thomas Campbell in New Brunswick and this style quickly became popular due to its sleek design and ease of use. The varieties used in baths and showers usually feature a special pressure balancing element so that the water pressure will not affect the chosen ratio of hot and cold water that is selected.
Water Pressure
Before installing one, it is important to check your water pressure. Bear in mind that relatively high water pressure of 0.5bar is required to make this type of faucet work optimally. It is recommended that it should be installed by a professional plumber, who will be able to check the water pressure if you are in any doubt.
Popular Styles of Bath Shower Mix Taps
These can be made from a range of different materials. We have included the main benefits of each of the most popular materials:
- Brass: this attractive material features a warm and inviting look and can transform a plain bathroom into a stylish room. Brass taps are ideal for country or Victorian themes and will give your bathroom an extra touch of class.
- Chrome: this material gleams and gives the bathroom an extra look and feel of cleanliness. To get the most out of shiny chrome brassware, they must be cleaned and regularly polished so that they do not appear to be dirty or tarnished.
- Matte and Satin Finishes: these materials are much easier to care for than chrome while still supplying the clean and fresh look. Stain and matte finishes will give the bathroom a modern and sleek look that works well with a wide range of different styles.
Some of the Leading Models
With so many different styles to choose from, below we have listed few examples to get you started.Porcelanosa Noken Lounge
This top of the range product is sure to be top of the list. Its design is crisp and very modern, making it suitable for modern homes. The four-hole deck mounted tap is very striking and is created in highly polished chrome. The model has been designed by renowned Italian designer Simone Micheli and features a diverter as well as a bath spout; while the flexible hose makes this model ideal for the shower as well as the bath.Synergie Deck Mounted Single Lever Four Hole Tap
This product comes from Vado, which is known for its top of the range bathroom furniture and accessories. This mixer tap features sharp lines that work well in any modern bathroom while polished chrome has been selected as the material. One of the great things about this product is that it comes with a twelve-year guarantee, proving that it has been built to last. The product is supplied with a modern shower kit and is H2ECO compatible. The waterfall effect spout provides a very satisfying shower experience that the whole family will love.Grohe Spa Allure Floor Standing Model
Not only is the design of this tap is very appealing, it is also strikingly modern. The design features both a hand shower and a mixer tap, making it ideal for use. The flexible design makes this model ideal for families that have different requirements, and a special Sena hand mixer is included. The model has been specially designed so that it is protected from backflow and comes with a five-year guarantee. Another special feature that makes this model stand apart from its competitors is the swivel spout that boasts a stop limiter while ease of use and control is supplied by the automatic diverter. The modern chrome finish resists tarnishing and soiling to keep the model looking bright and new for a long period, making it very easy to clean and care for even with heavy duty use.
Of course, the above listed faucets are just a few of the most popular options. There are a lot of different varieties to choose from, so it is a good idea to take a look at the various options and select the right one for your washroom.

HOUSTON - Houston police are looking into a burglary that happened at a Montrose-area day care center.
The incident happened at the Avalon Academy Day Care in the 1600 block of Indiana Street over the Labor Day weekend. The day care director stopped by one of those days to drop something off and made the discovery.
Houston police said it appears the crooks used a child-sized chair to boost themselves up. They were able to get in through a window, officials said.
"They got all of our computers, some laptops and cameras," said Connie McGrew, the academy's director. "I didn't know if I wanted to scream or cry because we're a nonprofit organization and everything we have is donated to us."
McGrew said the thieves stole five computers and were selective in which ones they took. In the children's library, they stole a new computer but left the older one. They also busted down the door to the office and unhooked a computer from McGrew's desk.
McGrew said the burglars were careful not to leave any fingerprints behind. She said she thinks the thieves wore a pair of rubber gloves usually intended for staff members who change diapers but they found the box of gloves on the floor.
Workers at Avalon Academy are hoping police catch the burglars, but HPD officials said they have no leads at this time.
"Now we're starting all over again. We're asking for donations and are trying to get everything back together," McGrew said.

Apple's flirtation with the top spot in the list of the world's largest companies by market capitalisation – which would end a six-year reign by ExxonMobil – is the sort of market trivia that we journalists love.
Perhaps it's because rankings are so easy to understand, and a ranking voted on every day has added spice. Apple nearly went under a decade ago, which further enlivens this tale of corporate success. But given the capriciousness of markets, the other main point of interest is that Exxon has managed to hold the top position, with brief interruptions, for so long. Read more

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/22/13 -- The Honourable John Duncan, Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development, today announced new regulations that will allow the proposed Kitimat LNG liquefied natural gas facility on the Haisla First Nation's Bees Indian Reserve No. 6 to proceed.
The Kitimat LNG facility will provide Canada's energy producers with a doorway to overseas markets, in addition to creating jobs and economic growth opportunities for the Haisla First Nation and the entire northwest region of British Columbia.
"Our government continues to take steps that will contribute to job creation, economic growth and Canada's long-term prosperity," said Minister Duncan. "The Kitimat LNG facility will create well-paying jobs in British Columbia, while giving Canadian energy producers access to important overseas markets. I applaud the Haisla First Nation for their vision, leadership and commitment to seizing this opportunity for their community."
The Haisla Natural Gas Facility Regulations were created under the First Nations Commercial and Industrial Development Act (FNCIDA). FNCIDA was a First Nations-led initiative that allows the government to work with First Nations and provincial regulatory authorities to create regulations for complex commercial and industrial development projects on reserve.
In addition to the Haisla Natural Gas Facility Regulations, the Government of Canada, Government of British Columbia and Haisla Nation have also signed a tripartite agreement that ensures administrative, monitoring and compliance activities for the LNG facility are performed and enforced by provincial officials.
"The BC Government is working with industry and First Nations to foster economic growth through the expansion of our province's natural gas sector," said British Columbia's Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Bill Bennett. "I would like to thank the Government of Canada and the Haisla Nation for working with us to move the Kitimat LNG facility another step forward."
"Kitimat LNG offers new, important and sustainable economic opportunities which the Haisla people are eager to embrace," says Haisla Chief Councillor Ellis Ross. "We have seen new jobs, business opportunities, and skills training come to our people since KM LNG signed its agreement with us, and we know that the agreement signed today with Canada and BC is a milestone in making the project a reality. On behalf of the 1,700 Haisla people, I thank both governments for their commitment to this important agreement and the better future it is bringing our people."
The key commercial proponents for the project are Apache Canada Ltd. and Chevron Canada Ltd. operating as Kitimat LNG.
"The Government of Canada, Government of BC and the Haisla Nation have shown exceptional leadership and support towards BC's new LNG industry" said Tim Wall, President of Apache Canada. "This regulatory agreement builds on the many other agreements with the Haisla that has led to jobs, training, education and economic development in Kitimaat Village."
"I want to congratulate the Haisla First Nation, the Governments of Canada and British Columbia, and Apache Canada for their shared leadership in finalizing the regulations governing the Kitimat LNG facility site," said Jeff Lehrmann, president, Chevron Canada Limited. "We look forward to working with the Haisla First Nation, both governments, other First Nations and local communities to realize the project's long-term economic potential."
The Kitimat LNG facility is being constructed on Haisla Nation reserve land at Bish Cove, approximately 650 kilometres (400 miles) north of Vancouver. The proposed two-train Kitimat LNG Project, currently progressing through the Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) phase, has a Canadian National Energy Board license to export 10 million tons per annum of LNG.

Post-traumatic stress disorder is caused by exposure to a highly traumatic experience. Symptoms usually include nightmares and flashbacks where the event is re-experienced over and over again. These recurring memories can become overbearing and interfere with the brain's ability to learn and consolidate new information.
PTSD is considered to be primarily an anxiety disorder that should subside after several months, but in extreme cases symptoms can last much longer. Long term stress like this can cause permanent damage to the brain due to the build up of the stress hormone, cortisol.

In looking through our game techniques to see which techniques we have and which we don't (refer to Forum:Video game jutsu overhaul), I noticed that we have a couple articles on the game's awakenings. Do we really want to keep those? Cause most of the time's they're just something a character does with another technique we already have, and when it's not, it's something really vague, case in point Sannin Mode and Tsukuyomi Mode. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:27, March 8, 2013 (UTC)
Hmm, maybe a mention in the jutsu's article or trivia? There isn't technically a Sannin jutsu, or a Tsukiyomi that creates a sphere of influences that slows things down in the real world in the anime or manga. While they borrow names their effects are different from what the more canon material has shown.Umishiru (talk) 23:32, March 8, 2013 (UTC)
- I'd say just remove them entirely. There isn't really a need to mention some awakening mode anywhere. If we were to mention them, just put it in a trivia note on the character's article. --Speysider Talk Page | My Image Uploads | Tabber Code | Channel 23:37, March 8, 2013 (UTC)

Talk:1120: Blurring the Line
This comic might refer to the movie Adaptation --Mambro (talk) 10:53, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
- There's a whole host of movies that white hat might be referring to. We can't know just from one theme present in the play, as there's a bajillion possible movies that it could be. Best to leave it unnamed.Davidy22 (talk) 11:54, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
- Or we could just mention the best-known (recent enough that a plurality of modern First-Worlders remember the ad blitz for it, yet old enough that many of those already probably regard it as a classic) example of such a movie, "Inception". I could say a lot more on the subject of MNG, but I'm not exactly an unbiased witness, so I'll leave the topic alone for now. 126.96.36.199 19:53, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
I don't think he was "passing the conversational ball" so much as it was meant to be a humorous blurring of the line between metaphor and reality (he's the "Michael Jordan" of blurring the line between metaphor and reality and then he has an actual basketball). Also, what is "masturbatory naval gazing" supposed to mean? If someone could explain that portion, that would be great. Trek7553 (talk) 14:51, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
Referring to the basketball's orange color in the transcript could make a more accurate transcript. The appearance of the coloured basketball in the otherwise black and white panels is a very dramatic intrusion of "more reality" into the black and white 2D panel. "More reality" since color is an important property most of us experience in our real lives. A very abstract 2D drawing of people discussing 3D movie depictions of our shared actual reality (i've never considered xkcd to reference Flatland) seems to be playing with levels of abstraction visually, in addition to the self-referential language.Rashby (talk) 07:07, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
Wow! Really?
Is sexual self arousal the goal of masturbation? I used Google News BEFORE it was clickbait (talk) 17:33, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
- Yes. Entirely so. I mean, literally what other function could it have? -Pennpenn 184.108.40.206 03:07, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
"Masturbatory navel gazing" is a contradiction in terms, hence the cursor text.
From Merriam-Webster: Naval-gazing is useless or excessive self-contemplation. One could define a movie about movies in this way. Masturbation is self-love, and a movie about movies could be thought of as a form of self love too. --Johngardner (talk) 15:44, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Julian Speroni, Adlene Guedioura, Marouane Chamakh and Christian Barrionuevo owner of Buenos Aires Restaurant
Tony Pulis and other members of the coaching team opted out of dining with the players and instead went next door to the Buenos Aires Restaurant owned by Cristian Barrionuevo.
Gisele Orellano, who works at the restaurant, said: "It was a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere where some friends were enjoying homemade food and a lovely evening."

Mr Orellano added: "Unfortunately they couldn't have wine because they are in the middle of the season, but they certainly enjoyed the food.
"For starters they had croquettes and antipasti. For their mains they could choose between 5 dishes. But most of them had the Rib eye steak."
The players seemed to enjoy their night out with striker Dwight Gayle tweeting after that he had enjoyed a nice meal and top food.

What's your family's favorite neighborhood tradition?
One of the most fun traditions occurs every Memorial Day when the kids in the neighborhood decorate their bikes and have a bike parade from the monument to the pool, led by the Chesterfield Fire Department, to celebrate the opening day of the Chesterfield Family Aquatic Center.
Neighborhood Notes
Mark Gellman, The Gellman Team, Coldwell Banker Premier
Chesterfield is a warm and welcoming municipality, offering a fantastic mix of shopping, dining, entertainment, parks, athletic teams and high-rated schools. There are homes and condominiums that range from very affordable to ultra-luxurious. The progressiveness of Chesterfield can be seen in the new developments, including town center, with walking paths, Riparian Trail and Chesterfield Amphitheatre. The location is excellent, with convenience to interstates 40 and 270. It is a great place to call home for out-of-towners or locals.

Dunay Nets Five; Lacrosse Wins Season Opener
The Liberty women's lacrosse team used a nine-goal first half on its way to an 11-10 defeat of St. Francis, Pa., on Tuesday afternoon at Osborne Stadium in its season-opening home contest. The win gives head coach Regan Denham's squad a 1-0 record, equaling their total from last year in their inaugural season.
Freshman Nina Dunay proved to be a formidable offensive threat in her first collegiate contest, as the Ashburn, Va., native found the back of the net on five occasions, while also assisting on two more Liberty goals. Fellow freshmen Karis Walborn, Emily Dinsmore and Jen Moyer also were able to tally a score in their first collegiate game. Walborn notched two goals, while Dinsmore and Moyer each added one. Returners Kristin Crowley and Candice Parsons rounded out the Flames attack, each scoring one goal.
After nearly seven minutes of defensive action, the visiting St. Francis Red Flash (0-2) earned a 1-0 lead with a goal from Sheri Fort at the 23:23 mark. However, the Lady Flames responded quickly and often, netting three goals in less than two minutes of game action, all coming on transition plays.
Dunay picked up her first goal with 22:58 remaining, on an unassisted play. Shortly after, at the 21:54 mark, Dinsmore shot one past the St. Francis goalkeeper with Dunay providing the assist. Immediately after the ensuing draw control, Dunay broke down the field to score a goal, giving the Lady Flames a 3-1 edge with 21:54 on the clock.
The Red Flash's returning leading scorer, Kate Simmons, halted the Flames run with a goal at the 21:02 mark on an assist from Kara Ledgerwood. St. Francis then rolled off two more goals at the 19:40 and 17:37 marks of the first period to take the lead, 4-3.
Liberty then owned the remainder of the first half, scorching the net for six of the final seven goals of the opening 30 minutes of action.
Moyer and Dunay scored unassisted goals (17:11 and 16:44) to start five-consecutive goals from the home team, and give Liberty the lead once again, 5-4. Dunay added her fourth goal of the first half after being set up by Annessa Jamison with 14:26 remaining, while Crowley then assisted Walborn for her goal at the 10:00 mark.
Jamison tacked on her second assist of the game, providing Parsons with the set up this time, to give Liberty an 8-4 advantage with 9:24 left in the opening half.
After a stretch of no scoring, Simmons once again stopped the Lady Flames' run, pulling St. Francis within three at the 2:32 mark with her second goal of the day.
Walborn closed out the first-half scoring by extending the lead back to four, hitting the back of the net with 2:16 on the clock and allowing Liberty to take the 9-5 advantage into the locker room.
Despite being outshot 19-15 in the first half, Liberty found the net on more occasions. Kristen Masullo assisted the Flames effort in goal, as the freshman saved nine shots in the opening 30 minutes of action.
The Red Flash paced the opening ten minutes of the second half, scoring three goals. Simmons scored two of those for the visitors, with her last coming at the 19:24 mark in the game and edging St. Francis within one, 9-8.
Co-captain Crowley stopped the charge, however, netting her own goal at the 12:34 mark on an unassisted play and up the lead to two.
St. Francis added one more offensive attack, netting back-to-back goals just ten seconds apart. The first came at 12:19 when Danielle Cornwell scored, while Fort added her second of the game at 12:09, tying the contest at 10-all.
Dunay would have the last say for the Lady Flames, however, tacking on the final goal of the game at the 5:32 mark on a free position shot.
Masullo once again played tough in the closing minutes saving three shots in the final five minutes of the game, and tallying nine more in the half. Masullo denied 18 Red Flash shots on the afternoon to pick up her first collegiate victory. The Berkely Heights, N.J., native picked up 10 groundballs while in goal as well.
Danielle Pokuso blocked away 15 shots and picked up 11 groundballs in the game for the visitors in the defeat, dropping her to 0-2 on the season.
Aside from Jamison's two assists, the junior led the team with three caused turnovers. Co-captain Chloe McIntosh, Dunay and Cammille Little each picked up three groundballs on the afternoon.
The Lady Flames will get comfortable at home this season, as the team hosts nine contests in Lynchburg for their 2011 campaign. They hit the field at Osborne Stadium once again on Sunday, when Monmouth comes to town for a 1 p.m. contest.

Driving down the road a few days ago I saw some man riding a weird "bike". It was very hard to describe, and it had a large name/logo on it, and I said I'll have to remember that so I can Google it.
I remember the logo had some bright green in it. And I think you stood on the device rather than sit.
Anyone had a clue on this?
PS - I'm not drinking. I swear

Looks like Brad Pitt has been taking child care lessons from Britney Spears. Last Thursday he went for a bicycle ride in Namibia with Maddox and Zahara but didn't properly secure Zahara in a child trailer, instead strapping her to his back in a blue papoose without a helmet. According to the author of The Safe Baby:
"[Zahara] needs a helmet and closed-toe shoes," Holtzman tells Us Weekly, which features photos of the outing in its new issue. "And I highly recommend toddlers ride in a child trailer pulled by a bike. It's more stable and secure." Baby Talk senior editor Christina Vercelletto agreed. Makers of the baby-pack "specifically say, 'Do not use while riding a bike,'" Vercelletto told us. "[It] will affect your balance. The safest place for her would be in a toddler bike seat."
It's encouraging to see Brad Pitt isn't as good at parenting as he is at looking really really good without a shirt on. The only hope the rest of us have as human beings is that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will be so bad at parenting their child doesn't make it past age 12. Because if that genetically perfect son of a bitch reaches adulthood it'll pretty much rule the world. Imagine the power of supermodels, but multiplied by 86 bazillion.

EXCLUSIVE | Vicem 67 Flybridge — By Jeffrey Moser
— May 2006
Under the Crescent Moon
From the land of the Ottomans comes a Downeast-style, cold-molded beauty.
Every afternoon at just before sunset in Tuzla, Turkey, a small town approximately 15 miles outside of Istanbul, loudspeakers summon Muslims to Magrib, or sunset prayer. If you were just offshore in the Sea of Marmara at this time, the prayers coming from the loudspeakers would certainly float over the onion-shape minarets of the city's numerous mosques to reach your ears. Looking towards the shore, with the sun setting over the ancient boatbuilding city, would surely be an awesome sight.

WHEN Ezra Lee makes his theatrical debut in the Jerry Lee Lewis tribute show Last Man Standing next April there won't be a whole lotta shakin' goin' on - not from nerves, anyway.
At 26, Lee is a musical veteran. He was born and bred in the country capital, Tamworth (he now lives on the family turf farm in Newcastle) and has played in countless blues and rockabilly bands over the years, including in a trio with his 15-year-old brother on drums and their father on bass.
In fact, his Wikipedia entry claims he started playing aged four. Is that true? ''It's true,'' he says. ''But I was s---house.''
His direction was set early. Visiting his uncle's house, he says, he heard a 78rpm recording of Memphis Slim, fell in love with his blues piano, and ''I've been into it ever since''.
Live, Lee pounds the keyboard and stomps his foot and backside on it in true Jerry Lee Lewis style. But despite the physical resemblance and musical similarities, he will not be playing ''the Killer'' in Last Man Standing so much as channelling him.
That's a pragmatic decision as much as an artistic one, writer-producer Jim McPherson, 78, confesses. ''We can perform the songs and all we need to do is pay the APRA fees. But the minute you have someone on stage saying, 'I'm Jerry Lee Lewis', you have to get permissions, you have to pay publisher royalties, which are much higher, and it all takes so much longer. It's a nightmare.''
As writer-producer of the Johnny Cash tribute show Man in Black (as well as tributes to John Denver, Dudley Moore and Eva Cassidy) McPherson is clearly an expert in the distinction between playing a star and paying tribute to them.
In Last Man Standing, Lee gets to play some of his own songs as well as Lewis ones. It is, says McPherson, less a narrative than his earlier shows and more an attempt to join the dots between gospel music and rock'n'roll, between black American ''church'' music and the white ''devil's music'' it helped spawn. ''It's a gospel rock opera,'' he says, ''complete with libretto.''
It's hard to know what Jerry Lee Lewis would make of that, but he may yet share his thoughts.
At 77, Lewis is still playing. In fact, he and Lee shared the bill at a rockabilly convention in Las Vegas last year.
Lee recalls seeing Lewis come on stage to calm a crowd of Hells Angels, who were throwing bottles at the support act - Lewis' sister. He says he saw Lewis open with a beautiful rendition of Georgia, despite the rowdiness of the bikies he'd just told to ''shut the f--- up'', and then kick the piano stool away just like he did in his glory days to launch into Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.
And the old foot on the keyboard stunt - does he still do that too? ''He does,'' Lee says. ''But these days he has a guy who comes out and helps to put his leg up there. But he still played great, man.''

A kaleidoscope of moving parts
Tier 2 and 3 operators are adopting new business strategies to deal with a rapidly changing TV environment.
The once heavily tech-driven business model of small Tier 2 and Tier 3 cable and broadband service providers is morphing into a kaleidoscope of moving, interchangeable parts.
Pushed by fierce competition, drastic cost cuts for technology and equipment, rising customer expectations, and shrinking video margins, smaller operators whose subscriber counts number in the four- and five-figure range are fiddling with and tweaking their business models like never before.
A recent ABI Research study predicts a slow migration away from pay TV to online video. ABI found that 20 percent of online consumers consider online video as a replacement for pay TV.
No surprise there, but it does emphasize that business model evolution is necessary today, not tomorrow. It is why the smaller cable operator community is being encouraged to incorporate a healthy dose of edgy new strategies and advanced technologies to survive and thrive in a competitive new business environment.
"There are now several things smaller operators must embrace in the new business model – multi-room DVRs, advanced user interfaces, TV Everywhere and more. Clearly, these require capital, so the challenge is to find a way to monetize the technology, like usage-based billing, and develop strategic vendor relationships. Those are two important components to the new business model," said Ken Wright, principal of Wright Solutions, an industry consulting firm.
Just as important, says Mike Paxton, senior analyst for the research group MRG, is investment in technology.
"The cost of technology is dropping, but it's still a significant investment for smaller operators. They already seem to be the last ones to roll out new technologies and services, but in today's competitive environment, they must invest. They're under pressure to deliver new services customers want, and that is forcing them to change their business models."
The crucial new service, he noted, is high-speed Internet. "No matter what capacity, it's the anchor service. It gives them a sustainable advantage over DSL and is critical to their business models and profit margins."
At BendBroadband, a small operator in central Oregon and widely considered to be one of the more progressive operations, sustainable and growable are the operative words.
"The key for us in the evolution of our business model has been the lower cost and simplicity of technology," explained Amy Tykeson, CEO and president of BendBroadband. "It has helped facilitate meaningful change. We've continued to evolve the business services model, and in the past few years have focused on wireless spectrum in two auctions, giving us growth headroom. And we've added a last-mile connection with a 10-gig ring and PON in select markets. So much of the business model evolution is based on needs."
Needs indeed, with some risk-taking near the top of the list.
Added Tykeson: "It's a complicated business, and there are no sure things. But being smaller, we're nimble and can turn opportunities around quickly. We've taken some risks and are first movers with technology like 4G LTE fixed wireless. It gets us out there with customers and vendors early on. The challenge is defining the new business model and then changing it. It gets faster and faster. But we're not waiting until the story is written."
One story in progress is unfolding at TV Cable of Rensselaer in Indiana, which serves a number of small communities between Indianapolis and Chicago. Its business model lacks the diversity of Bend's but requires similar components.
"Today, technology changes with the seasons. We've invested in a fiber-to-the-home upgrade since the cost of FTTH has dropped drastically, even lower than coax, and maintenance is near zero. But it must be built right. It's not like cable," said Eric Galbreath, vice president of operations for Rensselaer.
Cable video isn't what it used to be, either, he admitted, and not the revenue generator it once was. Not by a mile.
"We probably couldn't do video without the help of the NCTC (National Cable Television Cooperative) lowering program costs. Now we're looking at VoIP and business service-class VoIP and active with Internet services for businesses. We're just doing video to pay wages and minor expenses," Galbreath said.
He added that Rensselaer's model now includes a partnership with Indiana Fiber Network and sales of "tons" of backhaul services to libraries, schools and hospitals.
"Building a fiber infrastructure is crucial to a smaller operator's evolving business model. It's had the biggest impact on our business," he said.
High-speed Internet has also been a game changer for Rensselaer, he noted. Albeit with some early consternation.
"It was a scary gamble. Do we eliminate video? With CMTS costs at $150,000, it was very risky initially. But you've got to do it all, and Internet service probably saved us from losing subs, or worse. TV Everywhere is our next golden mug," Galbreath added.
Business services are also projected to be golden for a smaller operator's business model, according to Daniel Howard, senior vice president of engineering and CTO for the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers.
"The business service play is attractive for RFoG in greenfields, since the reach is much greater. Margins for business services are much better, so it's a good play for smaller operators," he said.
Developing close relations with vendors is also a good play, Howard added.
"There's help with vendors like Avail-TVN and others. Aggregating content delivery is making its way into the Tier 2 and 3 markets," Howard said.
And it's video that needs the most help, experts maintain. With shrinking margins and rising customer expectations, it's no secret video needs a boost.
"Subscribers in Tier 2 and 3 markets now expect the same level of service and content as their friends and families in larger markets, so there's pressure to deliver these services. There's a significant role for technology and managed services in their evolving business models, especially with video at a compressed margin point," said Mike Kazmier, CTO for Avail-TVN.
A business model with a managed service component and robust platform to launch new services is paramount for Tier 2 and 3 operators, Kazmier said. And it definitely should be a non-proprietary ecosystem.
"Break away from a proprietary ecosystem," he recommended.
A must-have element in the new ecosystem is HD, said Joseph Nucara, CEO of Adara Technologies. And for Tier 2 and 3 operators, switched digital video (SDV) could be the answer.
"Customers expect HD content, and most Tier 2 and 3 service providers don't have the bandwidth. We can add several additional services and more HD channels. It's scalable because we host and manage it," he explained.
SDV, he added, uses a fraction of RF spectrum, which frees up QAM slots, allowing an easier upgrade to DOCSIS 3.0, and eventually 3.1.
Yet for smaller operators, the pesky, age-old nemesis of economies of scale, or lack thereof, continues to haunt even the most progressive of companies.
Said Nucara: "It permeates the Tier 2 and 3 business models and is a common thread throughout their businesses. We've solved it from a video perspective, but it will creep into other services."
In the meantime, services such as next-generation user interfaces and electronic program guides (EPGs), linear content upsell, DVR programming away from home, whole-home DVR, and other incremental services are being enabled.
That's good news for smaller operators such as Buckeye CableSystem, another smaller operator on par with BendBroadband when it comes to being proactive and progressive.
"We're seeing hardware platforms that will allow us to 'skin,' or deeply customize, the applications within our network and on our customers' client devices. And, new products such as smart home could play into our expansion and new business model. As we move toward whole-home solutions, our service model will need to expand," said Joe Jensen, CTO at Buckeye.
Massillon Cable in Ohio, which has multi-room DVR and other technologies on its radar screen, is feeling similar pressure to meet rising customer expectations and the ever-changing technologies driving them.
"We've just launched multi-room DVR and have a proactive maintenance program that empowers supervisors in the field to fix the problems. And we've reduced the cost per stream from $10,000 to $300 by moving it in-house, along with streaming content to multiple devices. The HFC network is a great platform, but you must ensure it has enough capacity and speed. And the demand for speed is going up and up," maintained Kelly Rehm, technical operations manager for Massillon Cable TV, which serves 45,000 customers in central Ohio.
And for Massillon and others, speed counts. Big time.
Added Rehm: "The challenge is to do things as fast as we'd like. We get bogged down implementing multi-room DVRs and getting equipment because we're small and don't get the attention the bigger operators get. And technology changes so fast. But we're a small group that makes decisions quickly, and that is a real advantage."
Another advantage that seems to be getting the attention of smaller operators is for a hosted/managed service model. Designed to lower both the capital and operational expenses, proponents see it as a real upside to a smaller operator's business model.
"It makes more sense than in-house for smaller operators. There is definitely still some difficulty in transitioning from legacy equipment to managed services. But if Tier 2 and 3 operators have already rolled out DOCSIS 3.0 and have the IP connectivity to leverage the new services, along with the technology and equipment, they can offer additional services. But it's tricky to put them on legacy systems," said Bob Van Orden, vice president of corporate and business development for Clearleap.
Yet for most Tier 2 and 3 operators, tricky doesn't necessarily translate into not-doable, particularly when it comes to their changing business models, which can change as fast as the technologies driving them.
Concluded Paxton: "Smaller operators must decide to invest in their plant because competition is forcing them to. And some smaller operators relish the changes in their business models. But some don't."

Jon Lovitz beat up Andy Dick last week at the Laugh Factory after Dick made a comment about the murder of Lovitz' SNL friend, Phil Hartman. Apparently last year Andy Dick went up to Jon Lovitz and, according to Lovitz, "looked at me and said, 'I put the "Phil Hartman hex" on you – you're the next one to die.' I said, 'What did you say?' and he repeated it. I wanted to punch his face in, but I don't hit women." Then when the two ran into each other at the Laugh Factory last Wednesday, Lovitz was expecting an apology for the comment and when he didn't get one he flipped out. Page Six reports:
Laugh Factory owner Jamie Masada, who witnessed the assault, said, "Jon picked Andy up by the head and smashed him into the bar four or five times, and blood started pouring out of his nose." Lovitz told Page Six, "All the comedians are glad I did it because this guy is a [bleep]hole."
This one's a no-brainer. Andy Dick is the biggest waste of human life since OJ Simpson and Jon Lovitz is awesome. Plus he was in those Subway commercials. Trying to figure out who to root for in this one is like trying to decide between a cute little kitten playing with a ball of yarn and Hitler.

Afternoon snack (particularly if I have an evening run) – Greek yogurt
Dinner – Whatever we cook. Generally real food leaning towards the vegetable end of the food spectrum with an spirited avoidance of overly processed junk.
Coffee – by the bucket
Wine – sprinkle liberally

Compared to what others eat, I found Trent and PG's "discussion" much more entertaining. Can we get back to that?
Breakfast--small bite if I'm running 8+ miles. Otherwise, just tea thanks.
Lunch--sushi with brown rice. Probably 5 days per week. How's that for creature of habit?
Dinner--wholesome meals, light on carbs (and then only complex grains, legumes, etc). Lots of sea food. Tons of veggies. On the weekends, we tend to eat out.
