Warrior Cats
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
|It is requested that an image or images be included in this article to improve its quality.
Although the series follows the lives of many different cats, it focuses on an immortal cat named Firestar and his unique adventures throughout the four "Clans" of cats that live in the wilderness. The Clans are BraveClan, EvilClan, BoringClan, and KindaEvilClan (They are sometimes referred to as ThunderClan, ShadowClan, RiverClan, and WindClan). These Clans are always fighting. Their main conflicts are focused around the trade, production, and consumption of catnip. Throughout the series, Firestar tries to collect as much catnip as possible. He keeps his stash very well hidden and guarded, and each book focuses on a different scheme he has to collect more of it.
Major themes in the books are forbidden love, violence, drug use, racism, forbidden love, and characters doing illegal actions. Erin Hunter has stated that she drew inspiration for the books from several different places, including the streets of Manhattan, the depths of Hell, and her time spent in jail.
These books are a great influence on children, and many parents encourage their kids to read them.
edit Characters
There are roughly 2000 characters in the Warrior Cat's series. Due to this fact, only a few select characters have been listed.
Firestar: The main character of the books. Not only is he the leader of Braveclan (Thunderclan), but he also has a successful (and very illegal) way of collecting more catnip. He has many lovers, and the other cats in the series are very jealous of his life. He is an evil cat who has tricked many other cats to believe he is the god.
Jayfeather: A blind cat who the fandom finds sexually attractive - despite the fact that he is a fictional, talking cat. Reading about Jayfeather makes many fans horny. This is because he makes quite a few sexual remarks, and there have been many descriptive sex scenes between him and another character named Stick. He hates the world, but he can read minds.
Scourge: A friendly kitten who lives on the streets. He visits the Clan cats very often, and he is one of Firestar's closest friends. His favorite things to do are play with dogs and practice his cuddling skills.
Graystripe: Firefart's best friend.
Tigerstar: The Villain In the book series. On many occasions, he tries to steal Firestar's catnip. He always fails though, because Firestar knows his weakness. His weakness is water: whenever he gets wet, he starts melting like an ice cube in the sun. This is why Firestar keeps a moat around his catnip stash.
Bluestar: A dead leader. She used to rule over BraveClan, but one day she ran out of catnip. The withdrawal symptoms were too much for her to bear, so she ended up taking her own life. Rest in peace, Bluestar.
Spottedleaf: Just one of Firestar's many lovers. She sorts Firestar's catnip for him, and she is kind and sweet to every cat she meets. She secretly wants Firestar all to herself, and she plans on killing his other lovers.
Fireheart: A past life of Firestar. He used to roam the forest, and spy on all of the Clans. Some cats think he still does. Humans in the fandom usually call him "Firefart" for shits and giggles, but what they don't realize is that Fireheart actually did fart fire once. He nearly burned down the whole forest.
Hawkfrost: Another villain. Hawkfrost is Tigerstar's son, so his weakness is also water. He plots with his father to steal Firestar's catnip, but of course, it never works because Firestar is somewhat immortal and indestructible.
Ravenpaw: An abnormally thin cat who was banished from the clans for being too skinny.
Midnight: The only non-cat in the series. She put Scourge in a vat of sulfuric acid to get secrets out of him. Scourge didn't have any secrets though, so Midnight ended up leaving him alone and stealing Firestar's catnip instead. She then went crazy and nearly exploded. She is also the founder of a new species of life-prolonging catnip. This new type of catnip is the reason why the characters were all able to live so long.
Squirrelflight: She annoys Bramblestar whenever Squirrelflight is ordered to hunt, and she always catches bricks and expects cats to eat them whole. Even though Squirrelflight can fly (hence the name), she does not fly, mostly due to her chronic catnip addiction.
Berrynose: A stuck-up, obnoxious cat that believes he owns more catnip than anyone else. After thorough questioning, however, he was forced to reveal his secret: He never had any catnip at all and was jealous of Firestar. As punishment, he lost his tail. But he continues to brag about how much catnip he has to this day in hopes of receiving death as punishment.
Missingnose: One of the most significant and prominent characters in the entire series. The sheer number of plots and subplots centered around him is absolutly gargantuan. He was the founder of Braveclan and was there every step of the way for its GDC (gross domestic catnip), it's warriors, and making sure everyone stays faithful to Firestar's god status. In the seventh book of the first series, Braveclan is attacked by both Riverclan and Shadowclan for Firestar's ridiculous stash of catnip, which leads to one of the biggest battles in the entire series. During this, Missingnose spearheads Braveclan's side of the battle and fends off the two clans, saving Firestar from suffering the same ungodly fate as Bluestar.
Lionblaze: Another prophecied cat to use catnip to defeat Tigerstar. He has a power that everyone knows: He is immoral. When he was young, he has sexual scenes with a KindaEvilClan cat called Heathertail. They had two kits named Goldenkit and Gorsekit, but they died. They soon broke up.
edit Plot
Warrior Cats takes place in a forest in a land far away, where four Clans of wild house cats live. The Clans are first formed when a house cat named Rusty escapes from his owner and runs into the forest behind his home. Like most cats, Rusty is able to reproduce asexually, and he does so as soon as he enters the forest. Soon, there are cats everywhere.
These cats split up into four Clans and decide they need to fight each other. Rusty argues with the other cats, and says they can't fight if they don't have something to fight about. So, the cats begin to grow and cultivate wild catnip on their territories. As a consequence, they all become addicted to the catnip and start hallucinating. They give themselves strange names, they start worshiping ghosts, and they think they can talk.
The Clan cats build themselves a delicately balanced economy, focusing entirely on the trade of catnip. Each Clan grows a different variety of catnip on their territory, and each month the Clans get together to trade it at something called a "Gathering." Sometimes things go wrong, and fights break out among the cats. They usually fight over the high prices of other cat's catnip, or they fight in order to gain control of each other's catnip farms.
The entire series happens over the course of many years. Rusty, who now calls himself Firestar, tries to collect catnip from the other cats and create a giant stash of it. He wants to do this because he received a message from StarClan (the cat gods) telling him that the world would end soon. He is determined to collect enough catnip to live off of in a post-apocalyptic world. Each book he goes on different adventures and tries to collect more catnip in different ways, sometimes illegal ones.
The villain of the series is Tigerclaw, a large brown tomcat with amber eyes. He is constantly trying to steal Firestar's catnip for himself, but he always fails. Tigerclaw is more addicted to catnip than any other cat in the series, so Tigerclaw acts very strangely. He is more than willing to kill other cats to get more catnip, and sometimes he does. He even steals from his own Clanmates, who usually try to work together and help each other out.

The Rancid Raven: Allegiances are shifting among the Clans, and it is becoming harder and harder to separate friend from enemy. The warriors are relying on their leaders to guide them now more than ever. Unable to take the pressure, Firestar flees from ThunderClan and eventually runs into Ravenpaw, a friend from his past. He is eager to start a calmer, simpler life with his childhood friend, but Ravenpaw's zombie-like behavior leaves Firestar a little confused. Over the course of the book, Firestar is determined to discover if Ravenpaw has really become a zombie. But as he searches for answers, he uncovers some secrets that would be better left hidden...
A Stickly Romance: Jayfeather's relationship with Stick is really starting to heat up. Jayfeather feels closer to Stick than he has ever felt to anything, and he is certain they are meant to be together. He has even considered proposing, but he can't seem to work up the nerve to do so. Meanwhile, Stick has been having an affair with a sexy bamboo rod behind Jayfeather's back. Will Jayfeather discover Stick's betrayal and return the ring, or will it be too late?
Goodbye and Farewell: The Clans have finally realized that their world doesn't make any sense. They slowly begin to realize that StarClan is a figment of their crazy, cat imaginations. They also realize they don't enjoy fighting, and all they've ever really wanted was a warm lap to curl up on. Throughout an epic journey full of soul-searching and friendly snuggling, the Clan cats find a Twoleg - or a human, as they now call them - who seems willing to adopt them. Crazy Cat Lady Lucy is more than happy to let all of the Clan cats into her home, and the warriors are equally as happy about being adopted. But is this really the end for the Warrior Cat's...? Nope, of course not! This series never ends!
edit Controversy
Certain demographics, including Muslims and rich businessmen, have said that the books are very insulting and extremely crude. There have been many long debates over whether or not "hidden messages" relating to religious topics were strategically placed throughout the books. Many messages have been sent to Erin Hunter over this issue, but the author has not volunteered a response, the bitch.
edit Fandom
Fans of the Warrior Cats series call themselves "Wannabe Warriors."
Most of the Warrior Cats fandom believe in and worship a fictional thing called "StarClan." They think StarClan is equivalent to a religion, and they worship cats as gods. Because of this, they are similar to ancient Egyptians.
The majority of Wannabe Warriors like to spend their free time in unusual ways. A very popular pass-time among this fandom is to take all of their clothes off, run into a forest, and try to build a "Clan." Another thing they like to do is pretend to be Erin Hunter and write ridiculous fanfictions of this series. They also enjoy eating watermelons.

Sochi hockey notebook: Malkin blanked by U.S.
SOCHI, Russia – Evgeni Malkin's odd Olympics continued with a scoreless output in Russia's 3-2 shootout loss Saturday to the United States.
He again was among his team's most passionate performers, and that began even in warmups when he stayed on the ice well after his teammates had left, leaning over with his stick on his knees, head down, barely moving near the Russian net.
Once the puck dropped, he was dangerous on nearly every shift.
And yet, Russia coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov continued to keep him off the top power play — including one that opened the third period with a 2-2 tie — and gave up on him in the shootout after one failed attempt. (Actually a sharp blocker save by Jonathan Quick.) Bilyaletdinov alternated Pavel Datsyuk and Ilya Kovalchuk the rest of the way, also leaving Alex Ovechkin, the world's most dangerous sniper, on the bench.
What Malkin thinks of all this remains a mystery. He hasn't spoken with North American media since the Olympics started. Not that anyone should take it personally. Other members of the Penguins' contingent say they haven't heard from him in days, either.
Orpik, Martin steady
As they'd thought the previous day, Brooks Orpik and Paul Martin played as a pair and matched up — most of the time, anyway — against the Ovechkin-Malkin-Alexander Semin line. Orpik was a minus-1 because a forward failed to pick up Datsyuk early in the neutral zone. Martin had an even rating and was the Americans' coolest with the puck at any position.
Cam Fowler, another defenseman who scored a goal, said he was impressed: "Those two have played together a long time and know what they're doing. I thought they did a great job, as did all our guys and Quick in shutting them down. Lots of firepower over there."
Miller vs. Slovenia?
Bylsma wouldn't divulge his starter for the Americans' final round-robin game Sunday vs. Slovenia, but given Quick's extra workload against Russia, plus the need to keep Ryan Miller sharp if needed in the medal round, it would be surprising if Miller doesn't start.
Kunitz scratch?
On the eve of Canada facing Finland on Sunday, Canadian reporters peppered coach Mike Babcock with questions about possible lineup changes, predominantly whether Sidney Crosby and Chris Kunitz — of all duos — have shown enough chemistry together.
Crosby has one assist, and Kunitz is scoreless through two games.
"From a purely statistical point of view, you'd say no," Babcock said. "From the way they played, I think so. I think they do a lot of good things together. But we're talking about one line. I'm not worried about one line. I'm worried about all the lines."
More unbeatens
Crosby expects a smart, patient game between Canada and Finland, both 2-0.
"We know that they're strong as a team, defensively and in goal," Crosby said. "We expected they'd be one of the better teams here."
Don't be surprised if there's a second consecutive day of Penguins-on-Penguins matchups, as Olli Maatta and defense partner Sami Salo have been strong for Finland.
Record stream
The USA-Russia game was the most streamed hockey game in NBC Sports and NBC Olympics history, surpassing the record-setting 2014 NHL Stanley Cup Final, the network said.

Some users' tracks may not be recognized by iTunes Match even if the tracks are available in the iTunes Store, and those tracks will be uploaded to the users' iCloud storage. Some tracks may also be mis-matched to a different version of the same song on the iTunes Store.
– Music can only be added to iCloud from one computer at a time.
– Updating an iOS device to iOS 5 beta 7 may result in music failing to play. Users should turn off iTunes Match in settings and then turn it back on to restore functionality.

About Us
Potters Cookshop is the extension of the long-established Essex-based 'Potters of Hockley'. The Potters brand dates back to 1909 when it was founded by Inifer Potter who first established a general store and grocery before going on to expand into different departments.
After the war Deny's Potter took over from his father and began a gradual transformation of the business, modernising the shop front in the 1960's and extending again in the 1970's. In 2008 the store was again extended to cater for a growing range of products and in 2009 the brand turned 100 years old.
Since then the store has undergone further transformations to make it even bigger and able to offer more exciting brands and items. To celebrate the launch we undertook a full week of exciting events with special guests including TV chef and School of Wok founder Jeremy Pang and Great British Bake Off Winner Candice Brown.
Even after 100 years, the Potters brand remains completely independent and family run.

I've noticed the last few weeks that I just want to eat and eat and I'm hungry often. I hadn't really thought much of it. My husband suggested it's probably just my metabolism speeding up due to all the running. That makes sense; I hadn't connected the two until he said it. The last few weeks I've been going farther and running longer.
Have you noticed any difference in your appetite or your eating habits since you started C25K?

Please review the following FAQs and then
contact us for further information.
does Inception distribute digital programs?
Inception Media Group is a direct iTunes aggregator to over 100 territories/regions including the United States, Canada, Europe, Russia, India, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia and Japan. We also have direct retail relationships with Amazon (US) and Google Play (US, Canada, UK, Australia), Vudu (US and Latin America), Vimeo (Worldwide), Xbox (Worldwide), Hoopla (US) and Overdrive (US).
Additionally, and subject to each retailer's review, acceptance and negotiation, we distribute programming to Netflix and Hulu. Titles are negotiated on a case by case basis and acceptance is not guaranteed.
Inception Media Group is always looking to expand its customer base and distribution channels and we will notify you as new retailers become active. You will then have the option to have your film delivered.
type of content works best and what are the acceptance guidelines?
Generally feature films are the most successful.
Special Interest programs may do well but we suggest that you spend time
looking on iTunes and other site you are considering to see if similar
programming is already posted. Currently we do not handle episodic programming.
Generally speaking your program should……
Be no more extreme than an MPAA R rating. If
your film is not rated you should still consider the MPAA general guidelines
especially if the program pushes beyond what would get an R.
Have a run time of at least 60 minutes.
Be available in High-Definition and
deliverable on an HD-CAM SR. Standard Definition programs discouraged because they
generally don't sell or rent well. File delivery is not acceptable unless we
discuss and approve in advance. Files delivered to us fail more often than
pass. Failed files will also cost you more money.
Have a trailer in the same aspect ratio and
format as your master.
Have poster art available as a high
resolution .jpeg without a credit block, URL, DVD or BD logo or pricing info on
Have some reason for the retailers to focus
on it (e.g. festival selection or awards, known stars, producers or directors, positive
reviews, timely subject matter)
Your program must NOT be…..
Waiting for any licenses or clearances (music
or otherwise)
A home movie or UGC (user generated content)
that is more appropriate for YouTube.
Instructional in nature, a filmed conference,
a filmed lecture or lesson, an infomercial or anything that is more appropriate
for iTunesU or a podcast.
does it cost me?
Inception charges a flat fee for all that is necessary
to deliver to the first platform, usually iTunes. Our flat fee is based on the
assumption that you deliver a pristine master with no technical issues as well
as all the required caption file, artwork and metadata on a timely basis. If your master
fails there is a "failed master fee". Once the initial platform has been successfully
delivered we charge a lower additional fee for each subsequent platform. Please
contact us to get additional pricing information.
does Inception get paid?
Each retailer is different in timing and
payment structure.
EST (electronic sell-through) is paid per
transaction based on a fixed wholesale price set by us.
VOD (electronic rental) is paid per
transaction based on a percentage of the VOD price paid by the consumer.
Subscription VOD like Netflix is a negotiated
fee for a fixed period of time usually between one and two years. Netflix does
not pay per transaction. During that period Netflix can stream your program as
often as it wishes to its users for the fee they paid.
How do
I get paid?
Inception processes payments to you 45 days
after the end of month in which we get paid. Each retailer pays us on a
different timeline. We generally process inbound payments with a few days of
receipt. On the first of the month we begin processing and finish by the
fifteenth. Inception takes a percentage of the revenue generated each month and
then remits the balance to you. We send you a printed report and check
is my program priced?
Once again each retailer is different. iTunes VOD
pricing is based on two factors: release date relative to its DVD/BD
counterpart and whether the release is HD or SD. iTunes EST pricing is based on
tiers and we, together with you, select the most logical and effective tier
that will generate sales and maximize revenue. After a period of time and based
on activity it is wise to review your film's pricing and consider lowering it
as it becomes deeper catalog. Price changes take a few days to occur. The same
logic applies to Amazon and Google. We work with you to maintain consistent
pricing across all platforms.
long does it take for a program to go live?
We need 8 weeks assuming you have absolutely
no QC issues with your master. More time is better. Once iTunes has your
approved materials, the process moves very quickly. Please remember, Inception
Media does not have control over when your film goes live — but this is an
do I make changes to a program once it is live?
It depends on the change. Pricing and
metadata is fairly easy but if a you deliver a master and it is live when you
discover a problem that requires removal and replacement with a new master you
will be charged a full additional primary platform delivery fee. Be very
careful and deliver accurately from the beginning.
do I take down a film that is live?
For all platforms except Netflix and any
other platform with the same Subscription fee model taking your film down is
fairly simple and generally takes no more than five business days. For Netflix
and similar you will need to return the fee you received before we can remove
the program.

'One Billion Rising' Draws Large Attendance In Effort to Mitigate Violence Against Women
A impassioned crowd gathered outside of the New Mexico State Capitol, Thursday, during a rally to bring change and awareness to violence and abuse of women, both locally and throughout the world. Hundreds of supporters and spectators participated in the One Billion Rising event, which included speeches by state legislators and organizers, poetry readings and a choreographed flash mob dance. The phalanx of impromptu dancers created a near semicircle across the front of the Roundhouse. The group then made its way in a march from the Capitol to the Santa Fe Farmers Market in the Railyard where events continue until 8:30 p.m., including a "One Billion Rising Embodydance" at the Railyard Performance Center at 6:30 p.m.
The One Billion Rising organization and global network empowers local coordinators to create do-it-yourself "risings" to bring attention to violence against women. Other One Billion Strong V-day assemblages took place in cities throughout the U.S., as well as in Iguassu Falls, Brazil; Jerusalem, Israel; and New Delhi, India.
"I have never been more proud to be a part of anything in my entire life," said event coordinator Cecile Lipworth, the executive director of V-Day. "(Seeing) everyone who came out here today – the crowds, the masses – I know in my deepest heart, that we can all join together to stop violence against women and girls. We can do it today. And we can do it now."

In 1947 Marcel, Peter and Gerda, working for a special branch of the secret service, run an escape route from Germany, through France and Spain, to their castle on the Portuguese coast. The clients are minor war criminals; each one carries a case of gold, stolen from their concentration camp victims.
Unbeknown to the escapees, on arrival at the castle these Nazis are taken out to sea by launch to a non-existent freighter, eliminated, and their gold recovered. This is their 'escape to death'...
Karl, a distant relative and protege of Adolph Hitler, hopes to revive the Nazi party and become the second fuhrer of Germany. He arrives in Portugal from South America to find out what has happened to his colleagues and the gold.
Marcel, Helga and Gerda, having survived the motor accident that killed all the clients, arrive at the castle to find total carnage. Stephen, Marcel's boss, arrives from London to help, and to cover-up the operation.
So begins a cat and mouse game in which Karl tries to kidnap the girls and recover the gold. Mick, an Australian survivor of the Spanish civil war, becomes involved with his ketch and a classic battle between good and evil is played out on land and sea.

DryHeatHere, you're missing the point. You have to have some premise of feel good or anyone who isn't fully interested in F1 wouldn't go see the film. The fact he was able to keep the story almost entirely intact is what makes the film good. For 10 dollars I can sit at home and watch the Korean Grand Prix tonight with some popcorn, but that's a sporting event, not a movie.
In the past 60 years there have been at least 20 "Racing" movies produced & in everyone of them "racing" is just the flimsy platform for another love story with the exception of WINNING & Grand Prix which both were littered with "love" as well .
RUSH is just another clone, Hollywood raises the flag of racing but once you've paid your money & invested your time you walk out to the Theater having seen yet another "love story".
I would expect the reputation of Ron Howard to suffer for this alternate premise film and I wish Hollywood would just once produce a Love Story premise with a racing core . This film was made for $39 million which means each minute of screentime cost $325,000.. it sure doesn't show it . Compare it to being lured to see a film entitled "Fort Knox Gold" only to discover it's a love in a vault movie using unpainted concrete blocks for gold bars . There is plenty of "GO Camera " footage on YouTube as good or better than the CGI & Action Shots here & they are FREE with NO love to distract the viewer
For $10 I can buy a 6-pack, sit on my front lawn or at the park, be more entertained & have a better time for 2 hours, and I don't have to pay another $10 for Popcorn either !
RUSH will go straight to the bargain bin at WallyWorld where it will mold along with it's equals DRIVEN & DAZE of Thudner .
Ron Howard's name is worth less today because of films like this, it's sad to say .
Quite honestly Bob I think it more so comes down to the fact you have no idea of the history. If you want a straight biopic, by all means find one. This was for the people who would rather have the romance of he 1976 season played out into a watchable film. In all honesty if you wanted to have a quip with something it should have been the special effects that were forced by this meager budget. The rest of the film, up until the race at Suzuka were almost 1:1.
Wow...you Rush fans are a nasty bunch.
Richard Poole....I had meant to type "documentary" not "autobiography." I clearly made a mistake on that one. The point I was making is that the story was so amazing I would've preferred a recently made documentary rather than this movie. My bad.
"It also had me wishing that the movie was just an autobiography of Lauda, who is still alive, and Hunt, who died of a heart attack at the age of 45."
Does this writer know the difference between an autobiography and a biography?
Clearly you know nothing of the actual history. This film stays completely accurate right up until the last race, and that was only altered so people like you would go see it in theaters. Stay ignorant, Im amazed anyone would give you a job writing reviews you self righteous idiot.
Just because your a minority doesn't make it overrated. It's called an opinion, and just because everybody else's is different than yours doesn't make you right. Pretentious critic
What's with these 'professional critics' calling it overrated? It's called an opinion. Critics love the film, get used to that. If you don't, fine. Don't call it overrated just because your one of the minorities.
Plus that sister was completely covered up the whole time. I contemplated waiting for the tit and ass shot as a reward for sitting through the movie but then I remembered I have the American Apparel ad. And left.
I thought De Niro and Pfeiffer were completely mismatched. I hated hated HATED the daughter. One minute she's telling her brother how she just beat up a girl in the bathroom, and the very next he's asking her, "What's the first thing you notice about a guy?" "His eyes," she says, shoehorning clichéd and out-of-place dialogue down our throats. Also, didn't anyone find it weird that these kids are beating a lot of people up without the principal getting involved? And that everyone in the town magically speaks English without any of the American characters trying to speak a word of French? I walked out after forty minutes.
Ha! Yeah...the Normandy thing baffled me as well.
Lasted less than 30 minutes. You only need to know two things.
1. Michelle Pfeiffer and that hack accent.
2. Mafia relocated to Normandy?
Back in 1961, Newton Minnow, the new chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, you know, the folks that 'used' to regulate broadcasting, made a speech to the National Association of Broadcasters declaring that television was "A Vast Wasteland'.
At the time, he blasted them for the mindless drivel that passed as entertainment and the blaring commercials that interrupted all too often to cajole the viewer into buying something they didn't want or need.
Many years ago, I read a sci-fi story that posited that aliens invented television to dumb down the populace and make them docile. Hm, I wonder if that author knew something?
Well, I loved it.
Like the previous poster said it's told in the movie why Lucas worked at the kindergarten, the school was closed down. Secondly we know all along that the protagonist is innocent. He is and always was. No molesting at any time.
....why his last job didn't work out???! It is in the movie the reason he works at the day care. His last job was a teacher at the local high school where Klara's brother attended. The town closed the school so he had to find employment elsewhere.
Apparently this kid is dead because his father never told him that when being confronted by cops-racist or not-sit the fuck down, shut the fuck up and put your hands behind your back. Do not move until told to.
Shot while attempting to r e a s o n with angry armed policemen?
The only fallacy of the first sentence of this comment is...surprise...the kid had no father and now his daughter has none. That's the African American Way.
Set in the dreaded 70's. The movie opens with "city folk" moving in, perfectly happy, to an old dilapidated farm home far bigger than their needs in the middle of nowhere. And then it gets contrived.
Never seen that plot before.
Walked out of Conjuring and into the To Do List. Insulting. Even to 15 year olds. That floating Baby Ruth in the pool really gets them every time.
For both movies I spent a total of 60 minutes before I gave up.
Cascabel: why do you think they made the Lone Rangel a wimpy loser? Everything in that movie was the opposite of the high standards, of what Clayton Moore, the real "Lone Ranger" fought like hell to establish. If he knew about this movie, ahhh, I'd hate to think what he would have done!! Talk about destroying what the Lone Ranger meant to kids back then. And just who in the hell is Armin what's his face?

Cadbury Statement in Response to Announcement by Kraft Foods of a Formal Offer
Cadbury plc ("Cadbury") notes the announcement of an unsolicited offer by Kraft
Foods Inc. ("Kraft") of 300p and 0.2589 Kraft shares per Cadbury share,
implying a value for each Cadbury share of 717 pence (based on the closing
price of USD 26.78 for a Kraft share on 6 November 2009 and an exchange rate of
1.6609 USD / GBP) (the "Offer").
The Offer's cash price per share and exchange ratio are unchanged from Kraft's
announcement of 7 September. However, due to the fall in the Kraft share price
since then, the implied value for each Cadbury share is around 4% lower. Therefore,
the Offer is worse than the proposal that the Board has previously rejected as
fundamentally undervaluing Cadbury and its prospects.
Accordingly, the Board recommends shareholders reject the Offer and in due
course will be communicating with shareholders to set out in more detail why it
believes the Offer falls well short of reflecting the value of Cadbury.
Roger Carr, Chairman of Cadbury, said: "The repetition of a proposal which is
now of less value and lower than the current Cadbury share price does not make
it any more attractive. As a result, the Board has emphatically rejected this
derisory offer and has strengthened its resolve to ensure the true value of
Cadbury is fully understood by all.
"Cadbury is an exceptional standalone business. It has strong iconic brands, a
sharp category focus and an enviable geographic scope. Our successful financial
delivery and strong business model reinforce the Board's belief in both the
strategy and prospects of Cadbury as an independent company.
"Kraft's offer does not come remotely close to reflecting the true value of our
company, and involves the unattractive prospect of the absorption of Cadbury
into a low growth conglomerate business model.
"I am confident Cadbury will deliver significant value - which should accrue
wholly to our shareholders."

Credit, cheque or....coffee?
Choosing an account when paying for goods and services has just become a little more noteworthy with the latest update to BNZ's award winning internet banking offering – YouMoney. Customers can now link any account they wish to their their eftpos card when making a transaction.
Head of Digital, Stephen Bowe says, "The digital world moves so fast and we need to be constantly on top of what customers want and need; and then be ready to work on ways of making it happen for them.
"YouMoney makes money management so straight forward for our customers who can track their budget and make better money decisions on the go," he says. "When we introduced drag and drop banking, we simply gave customers what they wanted. Now, customers are moving money around easily between accounts, as well as setting and tracking money goals in a simple, visual way."
The update to YouMoney, means that if customers have an account set up for something special, they can swap it over to their Eftpos card when they're ready to pay.

You are right, but only partially right. I spent a whole day digging this issue, and finally found a solution.
xpdf/ipdf don't have a problem rendering embeded fonts, but dealing pdf files with big number of embeded font sets. The file I provided above embeds many sets (90+) of Chinese Type1 font, though each is small in size. xpdf/ipdf are really slow at handling this, while Acrobat Reader and even GS/GV can do the job much better.
This becomes apparent to me when I notice some pdf files created by others that also embed Chinese fonts but xpdf/ipdf won't choke on them. The difference is that they embed Truetype fonts, which unlike Type1 with only 265 max glyphs, may contain thousands in one set. Thus it suffices to embed only 1 or 2 sets of bigger Truetype font in the pdf, v.s., the 90+ smaller Type1 font sets.
The solution to my problem is to create pdf using latex + dvipdfmx, which is able to embed Truetype without rasterizing them (just lilke Type1) in to the final PDFs. I'm attaching the result here. The file size is also smaller than the previous one but not by much, and the speed is blazing fast.
Of course the ultimate solution is to fix xpdf/ipf, but for the moment this little PDF creation trick plays well. I'll document this process in thorough detail on the Content forum, just to help other CJK users.

Although there are seemingly many reasons to return to Oz—money, wondering where the story could possibly go from there in an only slightly fatuous way, money, that cool clock guy, moooooney—at least one person who probably won't be making the trip is Sam Raimi, who told Bleeding Cool that he's not really into directing the now-inevitable sequel. "I did leave some loose ends for another director if they want to make the picture," Raimi said, with the emphasis on "another director." He then added, "I was attracted to this story but I don't think the second one would have the thing I would need to get me interested," presumably referring to the shiny bauble Disney executives dangled tantalizingly just above the set every day, or maybe just the freedom from direct comparisons to The Wizard Of Oz, which the sequel will almost assuredly not avoid.
One sequel Raimi is still maybe somewhat interested in is that long-promised next Evil Dead—the old Evil Dead, that is (the new one is almost definitely getting a sequel), which producer Rob Tapert reminds everyone would more accurately be referred to as Army Of Darkness 2. Under some duress, Raimi recently suggested he'd like to work on a possible script this summer, though he also seems less than enthusiastic about it: "The fans are really forcing me into it," he said, echoing Bruce Campbell's own tentative comments at SXSW acknowledging he's "heard this a thousand times" and "it may happen" (but also saying he'd be fine if his three movies were allowed to stand as is, else "it'll be me and a walker fighting some other old guy"). Look, maybe the solution to getting Raimi interested in both of these things is to combine them, have Ash time-travel to Oz, and slaughter everyone with a chainsaw. Simple, yet elegant.

Haddad Adel, had been a member of a coalition of conservative "Principlist" candidates that included Tehran Mayor Muhammad Baqer Qalibaf and former foreign minister Ali Akbar Velayati. Live Box 201352316512350210 "With my withdrawal I ask the dear people to strictly observe the criteria of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution [Ayatollah Ali Khamenei] when they vote for candidates," he said on Monday. Haddad Adel, who is a close adviser and a relative by marriage of Khamenei, did not endorse a single candidate, but called for a hardline conservative victory. "I advise the dear people to take a correct decision so that either a Principlist wins in the first round, or if the election runs to a second round, the competition be between two Principlists." Haddad Adel was speaker of parliament from 2005 to 2008, but failed to secure the position again in 2012 when Ali Larijani , the current speaker, obtained the most votes. Haddad Adel was approved to run in the election last month by the Guardian Council, a vetting body of clerics and jurists, along with seven other men who are largely conservatives close to Khamenei. The presidential vote on Friday will be Iran's first since 2009. Source: Agencies

Alexander Ovechkin scored three times, Nicklas Backstrom added three assists, and Braden Holtby made 33 saves as the Washington Capitals overcame a chippy Minnesota Wild team and some questionable officiating to earn a 4-3 victory at the Xcel Energy Center.
The Gr8 was dynamite in this contest scoring three times in the middle frame and generating 15 shot attempts, including 10 shots on goal in 19:47 of action. All three tallies were the result of Ovechkin going to the net, and the second marker came on the power play, which was important given the recent slump from that unit (0 for 19 before the Ovi Empty Net PPG in Nashville). Washington's power play looked like its old self on that second goal.
Backstrom is just a wizard on the ice. His play to keep the puck in on the third Gr8 marker was incredible (the Wild unsuccessfully challenged it too), and then he finished it off with some great wall work. The line of Ovechkin-Backstrom-Oshie was excellent and between the three of them, they had 16 of the Capitals 33 shots on goal.
Holtby gave up two late goals after it was 3-1 and then 4-2, the first of which came on a power play that the Wild received when Justin Williams was called for cross checking right after Andre Burakovsky was flattened with a dirty hit from behind. Mike Leggo and Frederick "Ship him back to Quebec" L'Ecuyer failed to whistle the infraction against the Wild. They called a curious contest on Thursday, but once again Washington was too good for the opponents and the bad zebras. Both referees also missed a dirty butt end by Mikael Granlund to the face of Evgeny Kuznetsov after the second Minnesota goal on the neutral zone draw. #92 left the game and did not return, so his status for Saturday's game in Dallas is up in the air.
The last Wild tally came with four seconds left after Jason Chimera had made it 4-2 with an empty net marker with just 52 ticks remaining. That tally, Chimmer's 15th of the season, was set up by great work from John Carlson in the corner and then Tom Wilson, who worked the puck out of the zone to spring the speedy #25.
Carlson had his best game since returning from injury getting an assist and going +2 in 23:46 of ice time. He looked like his old self in this one and helped get the power play to finally score with a keeper in place. His hard shot went off of the back wall right to Ovechkin on the 2nd goal. He had his legs back and was really physical and strong on the puck in the corners.
Ovechkin now has 34 goals and leads Chicago's Patrick Kane by one in the Rocket Richard race. Holtby is now 27-1-3 in his last 32 starts and has 35 wins on the season.
Wins are the important thing there, as both co-MVP's and the others on this club only care about the "W's." Ovechkin has enough individual trophies, and at this point, he only wants that big silver one they give out in June. But make no mistake about it, this club still relies on him to lead the way when it comes to turning on red lights.
Overall, the Caps played a very solid road game and when things looked to go off of the rails with some Minnesota dirty play and shaky zebra influence, Washington maintained their composure to hold off a desperate Wild team. Holtby made some big saves and Backstrom cleared a puck from the door step late in regulation en route to another Capitals victory.
The Caps record is now an out of this world 40-9-4 (84 points) and they close out their three game road trip in Big D on Saturday night. Per CSN's Chuck Gormley, the Caps are 0-6-1 against the Stars since 2008, OUCH! Washington has a chance to finally knock off a very fast Dallas squad, but they'll need a really strong and disciplined game (stay out of the box!) plus good gap control to combat the likes of Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn on their home turf.
Notes: Mike Richards, who was nicked up in the Nashville game, suited up and logged 11:03 on his 31st birthday…the Caps were destroyed on draws, 46-22, but Backstrom was 12-9…Zach Parise had three assists for the Wild…Minnesota out shot the Caps 36-33 and it was 72-56 overall in shot attempts…both teams were 1 for 5 on the power play…Karl Alzner was +2 in 22:07 of ice time. He had a strong game.

MONREAL, Maria Tereza Ferreira Duenhas; CUNHA, Rivaldo Venâncio da and TRINCA, Luzia Aparecida. Compliance to antiretroviral medication as reported by AIDS patients assisted at the University Hospital of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul. Braz J Infect Dis [online]. 2002, vol.6, n.1, pp.08-14. ISSN 1413-8670. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1413-86702002000100002.
Compliance to antiretroviral medication is a problem for AIDS patients. Compliance can be influenced by the characteristics of the therapeutic program, by the health guidance professionals, by the patient, and by society in general. A group of 139 Brazilian AIDS patients from the Infectious-Parasitic Diseases day clinic at the University Hospital of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul were interviewed from September 27, 1999 to January 21, 2000. We identified and evaluated the frequency of noncompliance to antiretroviral medication, as well as the associated motives. Those who ingested 80%, or more, of prescribed dosages during the week previous to the interview were considered compliant. Among the patients interviewed, 70% mentioned loss or misplacement of medicine, and 63% were considered compliant. Average compliance was 75.8%, with no difference between the sexes. The reasons given for non-compliance were: absent-mindedness or forgetfulness (67.7%), lack of medicine (41.9%), side effects (21.5%), complexity of prescribed regimens (12.9%), fatigue (9.7%), and voluntary interruption (7.5%). The non-compliance observed among these patients indicates that health service personnel should promote activities to recuperate these therapeutic programs, employing methodologies appropriate to the characteristics of this population.

Two years ago, Ernestine Morales spoke to SFR about her fear amid rumors of cuts in the state's Medicaid-funded Developmental Disabilities Waiver. Morales' daughter Monique was born with microcephaly, a neurological disorder that has kept her 44-year-old brain at the mental capacity of a 2-year-old. For the past decade, Morales has been taking care of Monique in her Albuquerque home under the DD Waiver for a monthly government stipend.
"If they were to take my monies away, there's nobody that would work for $3 an hour, 24/7," Morales told SFR at the time [news, Aug. 25, 2010: "The Next Waiver"].
This year, some of the cuts will finally take effect, as a rewritten DD Waiver is scheduled to phase in this July.
Every five years, the New Mexico Department of Health's Developmental Disabilities Supports Division reforms the waiver, and 2012 marks another deadline for a rewrite. But DOH has been talking about significantly changing the DD Waiver since 2010, and this time, it's likely for real.
"We knew there was a cut coming," Morales, 77, tells SFR. "We just didn't know it was going to be this severe."
The DD Waiver allows people like Morales to refrain from sending their family members with disabilities to state institutions. It's the result of a 25-year lawsuit that stemmed from Walter Stephen Jackson, a developmentally disabled man who, while institutionalized in 1985, drank a cup of oven cleaner and sustained grave injuries [cover story, Feb. 24, 2010: "Jackson's Legacy"].
The Jackson lawsuit also broke up large mental institutions and replaced them with "community care centers," where developmentally disabled patients live in smaller, patient-focused groups.
Morales cares for her daughter under the Family Living program, a section of the DD Waiver that allows family members, as long as they are certified, to provide their relatives with in-home care. While Morales is Monique's main care provider, her husband and oldest daughter are certified "substitute care providers" who can step in and provide care when Morales needs a break.
Under the proposed DD Waiver changes, Morales' husband won't be able to receive a stipend for taking care of Monique because he lives in the same house.
Morales' older daughter will also see her allotted time of paid care—currently 80 hours a month—cut in half.
Fritzi Hardy, who also cares for her developmentally disabled daughter on the DD Waiver, says cutting family living is "easy picking" for the state because family members often already live together and would care for their relatives regardless of whether the state paid them. Hardy says providing care for developmentally disabled people "takes a certain kind of person" who knows how to approach a patient's unique condition.
"Finding a sub-care provider is very hard," Hardy tells SFR. "If you have family that can and have done it in the past, why cut off the cycle?"
But DOH officials argue that the cuts to the DD Waiver are necessary to keep the program running. In a Feb. 20 public letter announcing the proposed changes, DDSD Director Cathy Stevenson wrote that the "changes are needed, in part, because the cost to serve individuals in the program has continued to increase, even though people's support needs are basically the same." In an email to SFR, DOH spokeswoman Aimee Barabe adds that the amount of federal money matching the state's investment in Medicaid has dropped by roughly 10 percent since 2010, meaning that the state has to invest more money than before to provide the same level of services.
Another elephant in the room: the growing list of patients waiting to get on the DD Waiver, which exceeds the number served under the program. As of October 2011, 5,571 were on the waiting list, while 3,604 were registered on the DD Waiver. Barabe writes that a major goal of the DD Waiver redesign is to get people off that waiting list.
Morales can relate. She didn't even hear about the program for a decade after Monique left high school. (The DD Waiver has been around since 1993.)
"As soon as I found out, I started moving mountains to get her on," Morales says. "I would call Santa Fe practically every other day."
If the cuts go into effect—DOH is accepting public comments through March 14—Morales says Monique's family members will be tightening their belts to stay afloat. But the problem, advocates say, is that people on Medicaid already wear tight belts. For the past few years, state Senate President Pro Tempore Tim Jennings, D-Chaves, has unsuccessfully introduced expensive bills to take everyone off the DD Waiver waiting list.
"This is the poorest of the poor," Jennings tells SFR. "[DOH] really has to be careful with the cuts they make."

Gov. Charlie Crist shook up the board that oversees Florida universities on Thursday, replacing the current chair and three other members — all originally appointed by previous Gov. Jeb Bush.
Gone from the Board of Governors is current chairwoman Sheila McDevitt of St. Petersburg. Still on the board: vice chairwoman Ava Parker, whom Crist reappointed.
The governor also named five new board members, including Realtor Richard A. Beard III, 66, of Tampa, a longtime member of the Florida Council of 100 and founding chairman of the USF Board of Trustees.
Crist attended Thursday's Board of Governors meeting in Tampa to unveil his higher education budget.
Also ousted from the board: former chairwoman Carolyn Roberts of Ocala, businessman John Dasburg and Zachariah P. Zachariah, a Fort Lauderdale cardiologist who donates generously to the Bush family and is under Securities and Exchange Commission scrutiny for alleged insider trading.
The other new appointments:
• Dean Colson, Crist's higher education adviser.
• Patricia Frost, 72, of Miami Beach, a longtime teacher and principal in the Miami-Dade County public schools. She is currently a trustee at Florida International University.
• Daytona Beach developer Morteza "Mori" Hosseini, a frequent donor and member of the Florida Council of 100.
• John Rood, 54, of Jacksonville, chairman of the Vestcor Companies and former U.S. ambassador to the Bahamas.

The climb from the glacier was difficult. At the start, the deep snow continued and with every step, the crust broke underfoot and they sunk into the soft snow. The surface changed to ice causing them to slip, but with being roped together and using ice axes they made the ridge line. Here, mostly free of snow the ridge was covered with rounded or angular blocks of granite. Many eroded by the continual winds in the area and some with hollows containing melted snow. The spaces between the blocks were often filled with deep soft snow. Although the going was easier there was the ever-present danger of slipping into the snow-filled gaps between the boulders. These granite blocks and boulders proved a danger. A slip into the soft snow between the rocks could result in a twisted leg, a sprain or even a broken bone. Any one of these injuries, to a member of a small isolated party, high above a glacier in Antarctica could prove a disaster.
Browning and
Abbot resting during the climb. Browning, in the foreground,
Continuing along the ridge, they reached the first peak. Priestley in his book states:
From the top the view proved to be magnificent in every direction but the north, in which direction we particularly wanted to see. In this direction another and higher hill intervened,...
Now, 3.30 p.m. they made a short halt, took some photographs and had a drink of water from one of the pools found in the granite boulders.
Priestley decided there was enough time to reach the next peak, so they set out. Climbing down they crossed a snow valley ridged on either side, across a small tributary glacier, up to a spur on the other side towards a granite outcrop halfway to the peak. During this crossing Browning found a crevasse, but was quickly hauled out. They followed the out-crop some distance until moving onto a snow slope, they finally reached the crag above the ridge.
Priestley in his diary[i]
describes this crossing to the next peak.
He writes about being so exhausted they had to stop every few hundred yards to
rest because of the constant pushing their feet
through deep-crusted snow then having to lift their feet high to proceed. They went on struggling over
snow-covered Sastrugi, slipping and stopping their downwards slide with
the quick use of their ice axes. Eventually
they reached the next ridge by using their ice axes to slowly pull themselves
up the icy slope. Again, they had to climb
over and around snow covered boulders, slipping into waist-deep snow among the
rocks and those wearing soft finneskoes were continually stubbing their toes.
Following the ridge, they reach a peak 3,680 feet above their campsite. This
height was determined using an aneroid barometer. Having taken readings at the base
camp, Priestley would have read the difference in pressure on peak, and converted this change
into feet.
Unfortunately the view to the North was again blocked, this time by a "convex" snow slope. Although Priestley states that the views were good in everywhere except to the North, his view to the West would have been blocked by the peaks on the opposite side of the glacier. These peaks hid the Corner Glacier which they were to discover in the following weeks. Perhaps not mentioning this is reasonable as his concern was the area to his North and East—the northern and southern slopes of Mount Melbourne where a possible routes to Wood Bay could be found.
Priestley beside a wind eroded rock
containing a pool of water. The sun's heat, absorbed by
Now 5.30 p.m., nine hours since leaving camp at the mouth of the glacier, it was time to return. So after a short rest and a drink of water from a granite boulder Climb-p5 the party started back. Now the going would be mostly down and with the wind at their backs. Priestly writes, "Our progress downhill was quite steady, for every fall was in the right direction..."[ii]
