Hearts and Minds [DVD]
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 1974
"We must be ready to fight in Vietnam, but the ultimate victory will depend upon the hearts and the minds of the people who actually live out there."--President Lyndon B. Johnson
In the nearly three decades since U.S. troops were withdrawn from Vietnam and the U.S.-backed South Vietnamese government fell to the communist North Vietnamese, there have been a plethora of explanations for why the United States failed to win that war. Cultural scholars, military historians, and others have spent years trying to explain why, with the involvement of no less than five Presidents during three decades of various levels of involvement, the greatest military superpower in the world was defeated by the smaller and less-equipped army of a third-world nation struggling out from underneath colonialism.
As Peter Davis' landmark documentary Hearts and Minds shows, the primary problem was that, as Lyndon Johnson said, victory could only be achieved if the U.S. could win the hearts and minds of the Vietnamese people, and that was, in the end, the greatest failure of all. Simply put, the U.S. could never fully justify its involvement in Vietnam, particularly to the civilians whose world was turned upside down in the name of anti-communism. Or, as one person in the film puts it, we weren't on the wrong side, we were the wrong side.
Originally released in 1975, a year after U.S. troops had finally been pulled from Vietnam, Hearts and Minds was a deeply controversial film, particularly when it won that year's Oscar for Best Documentary. Rather than looking at the war solely from the U.S. point of view, Davis looked on both sides, interviewing a vast range of people, all of whom had been involved in the war in one way or another--soldiers, generals, military advisors, politicians, and, most importantly, the Vietnamese people whose hearts and minds were at the epicenter of the conflict. Davis bookends the film with scenes that show some form of disruption on both sides, opening with shots in a small Vietnamese village whose idyll is disrupted by troops marching through and ending with footage of a U.S. parade temporarily disturbed by Vietnam veterans protesting their lack of jobs.
However, Davis avoids a simple us/them dichotomy, showing how there were both Americans and Vietnamese who were for and against the war. Just as there were many U.S. citizens protesting their government's actions, there were Vietnamese who profited from the war and didn't want it to end. And, of course, some people changed their positions over time, evidenced most clearly by several veteran soldiers whose enthusiasm for their job slowly soured into regret.
On the whole, though, it is striking just how stark the difference was between how U.S. officials and ordinary Vietnamese civilians viewed U.S. involvement in Vietnam, and Davis makes expert use of visual juxtaposition to show how the two sides had virtually no chance of finding common ground. While the U.S. politicians and military brass talk of strategic targets and the need to limit the spread of communism, Vietnamese peasants lament the destruction of their villages and croplands, the deaths of their family members, and the painful, desolate tasks of building coffins and digging graves. Probably the most striking and sickening moment in the film is when General William Westmoreland declares in all confidence that the Oriental simply doesn't put the same high price on life that the Westerner does, and Davis then cuts to a Vietnamese man stricken with grief because his children have been killed by a U.S. bomb. In that simple juxtaposition, Davis exposes both the deep-seated xenophobia that fueled much of the war and the ultimate meaninglessness of military terms like "collateral damage."
Davis' camera is trained most often on U.S. soldiers who had returned from the war and were not happy about what they had done. Some of them were paralyzed, others were just resentful at the thought of what war had forced them to do. It is clear that Davis is using their testimony as a way to reach out beyond those who were already against the war in Vietnam at that point, to offer firsthand testimony of just how unconscionable much of war is in general, but particularly one with such vague and unsupportable aims.
Davis does focus on one soldier who doesn't have the slightest hint of remorse--Lt. George Coker, who spent seven years as a prisoner of war and declares that he is willing to go back if asked. He is shown returning to his hometown amid parades and celebration and later giving a deeply xenophobic speech to schoolchildren about how beautiful Vietnam would be if it weren't for the people there. Yet, having endured what he did, it is hard not to feel sympathy for him, which makes his cruelest comments all the more ambivalent, as they have the cadence of something programmed, not felt.
Viewed almost 30 years after it originally debuted at the Cannes Film Festival to great acclaim, Hearts and Minds has not lost its power to provoke and challenge our conventional understanding of patriotism and the necessity of war. It is, no doubt, a deeply antiwar film, although it doesn't point fingers and lay blame in simplistic fashion. Davis wisely realizes that the causes of Vietnam War and its prolongation over three decades are far too complex to cover in 112 minutes. Instead, as the title suggests, he focuses on the people, the human beings whose lives were forever altered by that terrible moment in history, regardless of which side of the world on which they live.
Hearts and Minds Criterion Collection Director-Approved DVD | ||
Aspect Ratio | 1.85:1 | |

Release Date | June 25, 2002 | |
1.85:1 (Anamorphic) While the majority of Hearts and Minds is composed of original footage, there is quite a bit of stock footage and old newsreels, so the visual quality of the film is understandably uneven. Transferred from the Academy Film Archive's restored 35mm interpositive and supervised by both director Peter Davis and cinematographer Richard Pearce (who shot most of the original footage himself), this is an outstanding transfer. It has a solid, very filmlike appearance, and use of the MTI Digital Restoration System has ensured that it is almost entirely clean of any nicks, scratches, or dirt. A first-rate job. | ||
English Dolby Digital 1.0 Monaural The one-channel Dolby Digital soundtrack, which has also been digitally restored, is clean and pleasant. | ||
Audio commentary by director Peter Davis Davis offers a compelling audio commentary that is absolutely required listening. He offers a great deal of additional background, not only about the historical context of the documentary and the people who appear in it, but also about his own work as a documentary filmmaker and the particulars of this film's production. Davis is well-spoken and consistently engaging. 32-page insert booklet |

Most compliments ever
By Amanda

About Me Stylish
Comments about SHINEYY COGNAC:
I legitimately get at least one compliment every single time I wear these out in public. All different kinds of people and anywhere I go...they really stick out in a good one. Not very good quality though as many others criticized..the sole and bottom and sides of the shoe are all worn and discolored after a few wears.

cute but the mesh breaks very easily
By Pola
from Spain
The sandals are beautiful but after wearing them just for a couple of times the metal mesh ripped apart...I bought them in another country during my holidays so there is no way of going back to have them replaced or my money returned. It is a shame....
Pretty shoe but not durable

About Me Stylish, Trendy
I love these shoes, and have received many compliments on them. However after a few weeks of having them the crystals on the shoe started to tear apart. I was very disappointed in the quality of the shoe because they are so pretty.
Very Nice!

About Me Casual, Stylish, Trendy
I have never received more compliments on a pair of shoes. They stand out in a crowd and are very beautiful. The only two negatives are that they are a bit slippery and they need some breaking in.
Breaks very easily
By DT
These sandals look amazing on but they break very easily. I bought a pair one morning to where at night and after about ten minutes of walking in them the metal started to rip apart not only cutting my foot but destroying the sandal. They didn't even last me a day.
Lovely Shoe

About Me Bohemian chic
I saw this shoe on a stranger and hunted it down! It's the perfect sandal because it can be dressed up or down. I wear 8.5 and I have almost flat feet and they're still very comfortable. Definitely a shoe you'll wish you had 2 of!

Okay, this is the discussion thread. Please use it for out of character chatter, questions and anything not pertinent to the current in-game scene.
I'd like to know a little more about your homeworld (Make up a name, big or small? Desert, forest, water, earth-like what?) What did your family do there?
I'm giving you the Dirty Fighter and Dealmaker traits based on your background. Can we say that he was a smuggler, but he got caught, and due to his parent's money was able to enter the FEF instead of going to prison?
Your defense bonus should be +7, +6 for martial hero, +1 for 3rd level. I didn't clarify that well enough, editing the multiclass blurb to make it clear.
Also, can you list your gear?
Traits wise, you get Magical Knack and Born Damned.
Background looks good, except remove the last line you haven't actually served on the ship yet, but you will be soon. Can you make up your home planet (Name, size, general ecology, etc)? I will insert it into the Federation.
Traits are Rough and Ready, and Killer
Background wise, Engineer and COO work closely together. The two of you will be responsible for keeping the ship running and well supplied. I'd like to see a couple lines about the Academy and FEF in there, but otherwise I already told you I like it :) If it's not too much to ask can you create a homeworld for Grunk too? Just the basics, name, size, general climate/populations. I'll work it into the federation.
You should have 2 more skill points
BAB should be +1, CMD +1, CMB 10
Traits wise, you're gonna get Charming and Focused Mind
Background looks good, if you want to make up a name and brief couple line description for your homeworld I'll work it into the Federation.
Traits wise, I'm giving you Courageous and a trait I just made up called Well Educated (+1 to two knowledge skills, and they are always considered class skills)
Can you give a couple more lines on Madae III? That way I can work it in to the Federation.
So excited!!!!!!
Checking in, will get the character adjusted and post some info later to day.
@Jelani, Do you want Well Educated to refer to knowledge history and geography?
Checking in, will get the character adjusted and post some info later to day. @Jelani, Do you want Well Educated to refer to knowledge history and geography?
I'm leaving the two skills up to you. Whatever he would have been interested in during his studies.
---------- Can I have everyone put their character info like this
HP xx | AC xx | T xx | FF xx | CMD xx | F +x | R +x | W +x | Init +x | Per +x
in the gender line of their alias? You can leave the race and class lines blank. I find it helpful to have all the combat info available next to people's names when they post.
This is just to cover formatting, for people who might not know:
"Bold text." is text spoken aloud Italicized text is inner thoughts
OOC for mechanical descriptions of actions (ie. I move to A4, and cast fireball)
If you want something to be happening at a time or place that is different from other people's posts please label it clearly. For example:
Time:Morning Kimefe talks to Leo in the lounge
Time:Now (Bridge) After having spent the morning in the lounge Kimefe will sprint to the bridge as the shipwide alarm begins going off. Blah blah blah...
------------------ In combat I want to see something like this
Round:XX Init:XX HP:XX/XX (Buffs, if any) Location:(only needed for non map combats)
SuperLeo runs forward and fires his BFG at the giant slug while screaming, "Die you slimy bastard!"
Leo moves to C6, shoots at Giant Slug 1.
Attack 1d20 + 900 ⇒ (8) + 900 = 908 Damage 1d1000 ⇒ 98
Finally, if you feel like something is unfair, unclear or just not the way the rules are please feel free to speak up.
If there's something you don't like, feel free to bring it up. I'm not guaranteeing I'll change anything at any point but my door is always open. I hope we can all have some fun and tell a good story here.
Sure will make the changes now
Then I'm going with history and geography as I think those two are the ones my character has been most interested in.
Updated to third hopefully everything should be right. Will get to work on the planet creation shortly :)
The numbers next to the name look good, but now I don't know what levels you took. Can you list them in the stats somewhere? Also you should have at least two feats. 3 if you took Martial Hero 3. If you did take Martial Hero 3 your HP would be 25 (28 if you took HP for favored class).
Checking in, will have character updated shortly.
Jelani- I was disappointed at first, because you forgot to put my name under excepted people...
Signing in; did you want any more on the planet in my backstory, or is what I have sufficient?
Thanks forgot to add constitution onto the HP and also forgot to upload feats but everything you asked for should be there now.
Also edited the background, added a description of Grunk and also put some Home planet stuff on. Let me know if you don't like any of it or any other changes need to be made ;)
Ok. Pretty sure I'm good to go.
So are we just waiting for walter to make the changes, then we'll start?

yup took martial hero 3, used the feats to pay for sneak attack, bombs and evasion as well as toughness, favoured class bonus was put to skill points
Whoops. My mistake. >_<*
Alright, looks like everyone has chimed in. I'll be finishing up the opener today and then we can get started. Planet stuff all looks good, Leo you can leave Madea III at just a name for now if you don't have time to write more about it.
Horus, gotta ask, are you Australian? Your planet made me think of Australia blown up to like a planet wide phenomena. Lol...
Not Australian, but was definitely thinking of Australia when I wrote the the planet up ;)
Okay, gameplay thread is live. Just a note while I'm thinking about it, miraculously the time units used in the Vega Federation are exactly the same as on earth! It happens to take 365 days to orbit its star, and have a 24 hour clock. Minutes, seconds and hours.
If I write Vegan, I'm not referring to vegetable eaters. It's pronounced (Vay-gen) and is the adjective for things from Vega.
Madae III's first draft is done, I put it in the profile, let me know if you need me to expand on something.
Madae looks great. Thanks.
Okay, there is more to getting on the ship etc. But I won't have time to finish posting it until probably tomorrow. I'll let people catch up and roleplay a little more until then.
Am I going too fast? Too slow? This is my first time DMing PBP, so feedback would be appreciated.
Yea its always hard to tell what speed pbps should run at, maybe a little slow but i'm good with this pace
As Chief of Security, I'm kind of curious what the rest of my team looks like: how many and with what equipment and all that.
Jelani, you're doing great...
I am quite enjoying it so far :D I like the way you describe :) Speed is just right for me.
I have no concerns atm quite excited to get investigating I have awesome images of this ship :D got like a Halo/Star Treck/Star Wars theme going on in my head!!!
No complaints here.
I'm just waiting the right opportunity to bust out a "We cannae do it Cap'n, we dinnae have the power."
Sounds good...-gets back to posting gameplay posts-
Details about crew coming in next post...gonna take me a little while to finish.
Later tonight I will get things rolling.
Would you mind taking a look at the picture of the bridge I am getting an error message stating that the picture should be hosted on anther website.
Hmm, I will investigate.
Edit: Apparently that guy doesn't like people linking to his images. Let me find another image.
Hey guys, really sorry to say, but I'm going to be gone most of this week, from today till next Wednesday, I'm really sorry, and if the only option is to drop so be it, Wish I could stay...
Oh. That's fine, thanks for the heads up. If you want to stay in the game I can NPC you till you get back. I just posted something to you in gameplay before I saw this, but I'll work it out. You won't die unless everyone does :P
I am going to attempt a primitive map for this fight using google docs. We'll see how it goes. Just to clarify a couple things that I'm thinking of now w/ ship combat.
1)You can always take the aid another action, you still need to say who you're aiding with what but it's always an option.
2)If you're manning a weapon you can fire it
3)Shield DR is per round, IE your shields will block the first 100 points of fire or electricity damage each round. So if one shot hits you for 60 damage it won't do anything, but if you take another 60 damage the same round 20 will go through.
This is my first time running ship combat, so we'll take it slow and work out any kinks as needed.
I should give everyone a heads up--I just started working full time and so my post count will drop a bit. I still should be able to post every day, but feel free to GMPC me if you need to keep things moving.
Sounds good.
I might have missed it somewhere, but what stat is used for shipboard based attacks. Also, there any advantage to firing manually, versus just letting the AI find the firing solution?
AI has a +0 to hit. You use your ranged attack bonus (BAB+Dex+Feats if you took any for starship weapons).
Already took my turn earlier to get my stuff so I will stick with that :)
I've been thinking about this, and I haven't addressed the issue of communications yet. I've just been letting ship's intercom handle it, but I've changed my mind. You all have a communicator badge on your uniform. It's shaped in the emblem of the Federation.
I drew a picture of the excelsior and the Federation emblem. I'll try to get them online soon. But for now, I'll just describe it.
The emblem is a central circle, with three short lines projecting out from it as if aligned with the corners of an equilateral triangle with the point facing up. Surrounding this is the classic celtic trinity knot symbol, but the form is broken at the ends of the three lines and where they all meet the central circle. Like this biohazard symbol but replace the ring underneath with lines as described above.
Edit: They're fashioned from mithril, and lacquered with brilliant electric blue. (Mithril and arcanicite Blue are the federation colors by the way. The flag is a blue background with the symbol in the center in mithril thread.)
Okay, here is a poorly photographed sketch of the Excelsior that I did a while ago. Hope it helps give you a good mental image.
Here is a quick sketch of the FEF symbol. The white bits are mithril, the blue should be this electric blue color.
Back guys, looks like I have some catching up to do...
Your new recruitment looks interesting and I would have applied instantly but I doubt I would have the time to play it :( I just thought I would say nice idea ;) I have recently been toying with doing the Rise of Genghis and Mongolia with my Real Life group.
Yeah, I was in a lot of PBPs as a player, then I got really busy for a while, and dropped out of a couple, then a couple died.
So now I'm down to this and like 3 others again. I enjoy running PBP games, since you don't have to do all the prep at once and I've been devouring history lately. So I figured what the heck.
If Syarha doesn't post by the time I get home from work tonight (about 5 hours from now) I'm gonna DMPC her actions this round. Gotta keep things moving.
I'm a bit away from the internet atm feel free to gmpc as needed.

I added some updated pics with minor corrections
not a land map, but rather a sky map - the skies of my world, Elyden, as mapped by the Astromancers Almagest, c. 3000 RM. Most of the constellations are the remnants of classical constellations as charted by ancient stargazers, and as such many denote mythical or otherwise extraordinary creatures (many of which are now extinct), such as Maocarhl (sphinx), Aehari (demon), Balaur (feathered drake), Azaraota (ashterath - the dragon), Indrik (indricothere), Haagenti (the winged bull), Opinicus (griffin) etc. Others mark out features and objects, like Calu (the tower), Haidu Okhe (the Inner Sea), Sesal (the Pyramid) and Shibboleth (the World-river).
With Elyden I've created a star map with a catalogue of all the stars and constellations and other extraterrestrial objects (satellites, planets, comets etc.). Like much of the world, I'm still deep in creating these facets of Elyden's skies, though I have completed a star chart. the above map was created in the nation of Almagest in c. 3000 RM (the present day is 4008 RM). Though very far removed from the neolithic stargazing culture of its past (extinct now by around 4000 years), the great city Almagest remained a hub of astronomical knowledge, with astromancers remaining in power throughout its existence. The city was once one of the great gems of the Korachani empire (with over 8,000,000-bodies at the peak of its influence), though the so-called Artifex Wars left it an independent entity. sundered from the empire, it died a slow death of disease and starvation, and the city remains now as a ruined metropolis with the descendants of degenerates populating its haunted streets. These are the constellations as recognised by the Korachani empire. Much like western and eastern constellations bear little resemblance to one another, the constellations detailed here are those as recorded by the Korachani empire, based off of ancient knowledge from people it has subjugated over the years. Also, much like our own constellations,those of the southern hemisphere are more 'artificial' as they come from far later in history and were first recorded by sea explorers (indeed there are far fewer in the southern hemisphere as the exacting requirements of the Order of Astromancers in almagest has failed to recognise most of the newly-named constellations).
I had fun messing about with noise/blur/levels/hue&saturation to get the galaxy rim in the background. the original map is the one with the black background, then i grunged it up a bit by adding some paper layers, 2 subtle displacement layers (one with folded paper and another with crumples) and some stains,for the 'old' version

I really like these, they look awesome! As I said before, I think it's great that you go into such detail into creating your world. I especially like the old looking map. It really looks like something you might have found while researching a long forgotten culture on some distant world

This issue only arose after last patch. When I join queue if I don't press any button/click anything I can get into the hero select, and even then I can't click on a hero or press any button or I'll get disconnected. So I'm forced to random and when I do finally get into a game, I can't press any buttons/move my hero anywhere or I'll crash. Running game as admin doesn't help. This happens with probably 4 of 5 games. I do NOT get a K2 error. I get a Windows error... I'll replicate the crash and get exactly what it says in a second.
edit: its just a generic "Heroes of Newerth has stopped responding... Windows is trying to find a solution yadda yadda" thing.
edit 2: I've already tried uninstalling/reinstalling. Did nothing. I was able to play a few games last night but can't get a game going today.
edit 3: To clarify, this is exactly what happens from the moment I log in. I can use the client just fine UNTIL I try to join queue or sit in a lobby. Once I'm in queue or lobby if I press ANY button whatsoever I will crash. Usually I will queue up and start right clicking to see if it crashes me. It almost always does. On the rare occasion that it doesn't, I'm usually good to play. SOMETIMES I will crash during the game even though I was able to get past the queue bullshit. When that happens, I cannot reconnect in time because I will always crash.
Console.log from last crash.

if you can play some games at night after a reinstall and then it completly changes, its most likly not HoN which is causing the crash but any other programm you use.
I'm gladly try to help you find the cause.
I looked over your consolelog and i dont think you actually played one game or even attemd to play a game with the second one.
You have to know that the consolelog gets overwritten everytime you start hon.
Could you upload a consolelog right after the crash happens.
Or just save it so you dont get the disco.
Then i'll be happy to look into them again.
Regards, r00t
The second console log was from a crash when I was in queue. I've only reinstalled once and I've been able to play some games every day so its not JUST after a reinstall.
http://tools.heroesofnewerth.com/vie...7b&action=view Crash just happened after I managed to get in a game.
Is anybody out there?
I've spent so much goddamn money on this game and I can't even play it anymore. What a waste of hard drive space...and to think I was going to get stat resets for both my accounts. Lol.

Are you first given a "wait for program to respond" message, or is it crashing immediately?
Also, it's crashing when doing graphics stuff. Are your graphics drivers up to date?
Last edited by IAmRoot; 03-16-2012 at 11:30 AM.
The client immediately crashes, screen goes black, and this message comes up.
"Heroes of Newerth Has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem."
And the new patch didn't help
Graphics drivers are up to date. That was one of the first things I did. It crashes when I'm in queue as well. Is that related to "graphics stuff?"
Last edited by RapeFactory; 03-16-2012 at 12:49 PM.
Hmm. It seems like some sort of driver problem. HoN sets a crash handler to make crash dumps (k2 exception message). Windows popping up a message is due to a crash happening in external code that hon doesn't even directly call.
I might have found a work around.... 5 games and no crashes yet... We'll see. I'll update if it proves to work for an extended amount of time.
So the game won't crash if I open it going from Start - All Programs - Heroes of Newerth - and use that icon. Any desktop shortcut or start menu shortcut won't work. Any reason for this?
What are the targets of each shortcut?
S2 Games: Dedicated employees serving dedicated gamers. Continuous development. Never-ending improvement.
Including the shortcut located at?
The reason I ask is the shortcut should have nothing to do with the way the game runs. That is just windows directing a icon to a program. Unless the shortcut has a different target or boot option the program should run exactly the same as another shortcut pointing to the same location.Start - All Programs - Heroes of Newerth - and use that icon

Winemaker Christopher Tynan credits much of his success in the wine business to his degree in English.
"Like most English majors," he says with a big laugh, "I was unemployable after graduation." He continues, "It was fortuitous that I ended up running a fine dining restaurant after graduation and that's when the wine "fire" was first lit." As wine buyer for the restaurant, he got to taste wines from every corner of the wine world. Inspired by what he tasted, he began collecting wine for his own cellar. "I am an avid wine collector and look upon older wines as textbooks. Not only is it a great way to rationalize my wine spending, but it is also a chance to commune with the pioneers of the industry, if only for a few brief glasses." After an especially memorable tasting of well-cellared 1974 Napa Cabernets, Christopher was inspired to pack his bags for California. "I remember thinking to myself, "I have to go to Napa and learn how to make this. And I want to do it at the highest level." So he did. He spent his first summers in Napa doing cellar internships at Cain Vineyards and Blankiet Estate and doing irrigation management for vineyards all over Napa and Sonoma. In 2006, Christopher brought his tireless work ethic and commitment to excellence to Colgin Cellars. During Christopher's 5 year tenure as Assistant Winemaker, Colgin received 4 perfect 100 point ratings from renowned wine critic Robert Parker Jr. "The philosophy at Colgin was low yield farming and no compromise winemaking. It was an inspiring place to work." It's that same lofty philosophy that led Christopher to Cliff Lede Vineyards in the summer of 2012. "When Cliff asked me to join the team, I couldn't say yes fast enough. He's got that same passion to make the greatest wine in the world. And he backs it up with investments in the right vineyards and people." Christopher is thrilled with opportunity to continue working with viticulturist David Abreu's Madrona Ranch and Thorevilos, vineyards he considers two of the greatest in the Napa Valley. Christopher brings exceptional experience in making artistically hand crafted world class wines to Cliff Lede Vineyards and he promises, despite his English major yearnings, not to reference Melville or Dostoyevsky in our company tasting notes."When Cliff asked me to join the team, I couldn't say yes fast enough. He's got that same passion to make the greatest wine in the world."

Wart removal freeze is among the various methods used to get rid of warts from the affected skin. The method makes use of frozen nitrogen to suppress the wart .The method is mostly applied by medical practitioners to remove warts from the affected skin .After cryogen is applied to the wart, the wart frees after a short while. The method has some complications such as making the skin become swollen and turning red .It can cause variation of skin color from where the wart was healed and the nearby skin. Cryotherapy can lead to complete disappearance of the warts if it is applied appropriately. The method requires a qualified medical practitioner to carry it out due to the great pain experienced during its application.
Mechanism of operation of the wart removal freeze
It is based on the mechanism of depriving the warts of the blood supply. Warts are usually fed by blood vessels from the circulatory system. Without blood supply they will die. After the application of frozen nitrogen which is too cold, it leads to the blockage of blood supply to the warts which lead to their death and subsequent falling off from the skin.
Advantages of using wart removal freeze in treating warts
When applied well it does not break the outer layer of the skin .This is highly beneficial as you will not be exposed to the risks of contacting other infections that may take the advantage of the broken skin. Other methods of removing warts such as cutting leads to exposure of the body to the risks of conducting diseases that are transmitted through openings to the body.
The method is simple. When using the method on treating your warts it will involve an instant operation where you will see the results within the shortest time possible. It is more convenient in terms of the time you will need to wait for your warts to disappear as compared to in other methods where it can take several weeks.
It makes use of the doctor which is safer for your life .This is mainly because the doctor will be more cautions and ready to treat any complications that may develop during its application. After its application the doctor can even prescribe for you some medicines to help you recover in the shortest period of time.
Disadvantage of wart removal freeze
It involves some pain during its operation .You can feel some pain during its operation and that is why it is highly recommended that you use a qualified medical personnel in carrying it out. The doctor will be in a good position to know the necessary painkillers to administer to you.
It can be expensive as compared to other methods of treating warts such as natural methods. This is mainly because the liquid nitrogen used will need to be transported and maintained in the low temperatures which require some investment. It will also require you to make use of a qualified doctor; this will require you to pay some amount which is an added cost as compared to other methods which you can apply safely without any assistance.

Season: 1 | 2
Swimming With the Fishes Setting up contestants in a tank filled with tons of dead squid was one of the most complicated gross stunts that we've ever done. But it was definitely worth every minute of preparation. When you're looking for a lot of dead fish - and we mean a lot of dead fish -- you can't just go to a supermarket. You need to go right to the source. In Los Angeles, that means a trip to the fishing boats of San Pedro. Actually, it means several trips to San Pedro. Fishermen, you see, are not the easiest guys to communicate with. They kind of live by their own set of rules. For example, when a southern California fisherman catches his first yellowtail, tradition dictates that he rips out its still-beating heart and eats it raw. See what we're getting at here? Eventually, we hooked up with a great crew on a fishing boat called the "Eileen." Unlike a lot of the crusty old fishermen of San Pedro, this crew was made up of cool surfer dudes. In fact, some of them were actually Fear Factor fans. Now that we had a boat, we had to figure out the right mix of fish and water needed in the holding tank. Associate producer Molly Weiss bravely volunteered to don a wetsuit and climb down into the squid-filled tank as we raised and lowered the water level. Even more bravely, she went into the boat's dingy little shower to clean off after the test. As a result of the test, we realized we'd need about 10,000 pounds of squid. Still, there were many variables. Even though it was squid season, there was no guarantee that the fishermen would be able to catch enough in time for the stunt. Also, if we didn't shoot the stunt right after we caught the squid, there was a good chance it would turn ripe and cause bacterial problems. And, to top it all off, the squid fishermen of San Pedro decided to go on strike just days before our scheduled shoot. Somehow, everything fell into place. The captain of the boat convinced the fisherman's union to let them catch the squid for our stunt. Then, just 12 hours before our scheduled shoot, he called us from his satellite phone out at sea to let us know they had hauled in tons of the stuff. Finally, with the help of the boat's refrigeration unit, we managed to keep the squid from rotting. Now we were ready for the stunt. Each contestant would get three minutes to dive into 10,000 pounds of smelly, slimy squid mixed with ink, blood, and guts and try to retrieve as many five pound weights as possible from the bottom of the tank. Adding to the difficulty, the refrigeration placed the water at an unbearably cold temperature in the low 30s. Needless to say, the contestants did not have a very good time with the stunt. We left San Pedro with another great stunt...and a lot of seagull poop on our cars.

High Chairs
Some of our 147 Baby Gear Reviews View All Baby Gear Reviews »
User Review for Melissa & Doug Chomp & Clack Alligator Push Toy
My son won't leave this toy alone. He pushs it all around. It is very high quality - only the best from Melissa and Doug - I buy all of their products. High safety rating and very durable. Doesn't scratch walls either. We'd definitely recommend this item!
User Review for Fisher-Price Zen Collection Cradle Swing
The amazing swing is the ONLY reason I got ANY sleep for the first 3 weeks of my sons life. It is by far my favorite piece of baby gear, I recommend it to EVERYONE when I hear they're expecting. It recline fully which is so nice and it is nice and deep so baby can snuggle in. My son loves it! We use the seat in every room of our house. The ONLY downfall to this swing is that the mobile doesn't spin and the rocking noise is a bit loud...but it has never kept my son up. He loves the sweet bird noises too :) It is beautiful and looks great right in our living room! BUY IT AND GET YOURSELF A NAP :))
User Review for Fisher-Price Space Saver High Chair
As a family of 3 in a 2 bedroom apartment, who has the space for an actual highchair? This one is fabulous! Fits onto our Ikea chair with no problems, is light enough to carry over to Granny & Granddad's and is a great feeding height.
User Review for Baby Bjorn Carrier Cover
We have two Baby Bjorns of different eras and it works great with both of them. I wish the hood had tie strings as it does flop around bid. It's made out of the good kind of finely woven water/wind resistant fleece. Good product for sure.
User Review for ciao! baby go-anywhere-highchair
Absolutely love it! Great for taking to friends' houses that don't have a high chair to borrow or even in the living room to put next to the couch! We will use this as much indoors as we do outdoors. Easy to clean and very lightweight.
High Chairs
When feeding your child, you want them to have the "best seat in the house". Whether you have to spoon feed them or they can feed themselves, a high quality highchair is important to any parent. There are so many different choices for you to pick from. Highchairs come in all different sizes, colors, and styles. With our wide selection of highchairs, we guarantee that you will be able to find the one that fits your needs and your budget.
Typically, you do not need to purchase a highchair until your baby starts to eat solid foods. This usually occurs around the 6 month period. You can of course buy a highchair earlier on. Many parents like to buy them earlier and keep them at the dinner table so they can keep a watchful eye on their little one while they eat.
There are several things that you should look for when purchasing a highchair as well. First, make sure that the highchair is safe. Pick a model that has a Juvenile Products Manufactures Association certificate on it. This certificate is found on mostly all reputable highchair manufacturing companies.
Look for a highchair with height adjustment if you plan to use the chair long term. This way, you can adjust the highchair to be easy on your arms for feeding and adjust the height as your baby grows older in age.
Also, check the straps on the highchair. Try to find a highchair where the straps are strong, durable and machine washable. Steer clear of models that only have a loop that goes around the baby's waist. It is very easy for the baby to slip out of these and get hurt.
Highchairs can also get dirty very quickly, so choose a model that will wash well. Vinyl cushions are easy to be wiped down. Also, if you choose a highchair with cloth cushions, make sure they are removable for easy cleaning.
Some of our bestselling models include:
Safety 1st Vineland Solid Wood Highchair
Gracco Classic Wooden Highchair
Whatever your needs are, you are sure to find them with our huge selection at BabyAge.com!

April 26—Apple Inc. is set to build a new employee-only cafeteria building after the Cupertino (Calif) Planning Commission gave its approval earlier this week.
The company gained approval to build a a new 21,468-square-foot cafeteria exclusively for Apple workers. The aim of the eatery will be for it to be a place for employees to freely talk business without fear of eavesdropping. Apple already has five employee-dedicated cafes, plus roughly a dozen smaller cafes that offer grab-and-go breakfast and lunch options.

I have a SaaS app aimed at small businesses, and I am considering an affiliate marketing program to help me reach customers, but have questions:
- Is it customary to give an affiliate a commission on the initial month of subscription, or the first year, or the entire life of the customer?
- If a customer upgrades at some point, should the affiliate earn a commission on that as well?
- Are there affiliate programs out there that are well-suited to SaaS developers?

Got a salt water kid to nominate? Go here to find out how!
Nicholas Chen, 13
Kingston, Jamaica
Nicholas has fished in Belize, England and Ireland; on the west coast of Florida; and in the Florida Keys — in addition to on his home island of Jamaica — but he enjoys catching small fish from the beach or wherever he can wet a line. He caught this nice wahoo, estimated at 45 pounds, off Port Antonio, Jamaica. Nicholas also won a kids fishing tournament out of Tropic Star Lodge in Panama. "I have released two Atlantic sailfish, two Pacific blue marlin and one Pacific sailfish," Nicholas said, "but I still enjoy fishing for reef fish. Even though I like to eat fish and do keep some, I love to release fish when I catch them so they can grow bigger and increase the population of fish. I hope that more fishermen will learn to release fish so that we will always be able to catch them." Good idea, Nicholas!

MATTER AND ANTIMATTER annihilate each other on contact. Experiments hint at a subtle difference between them that may explain why antimatter is so rare.

Gravity's Engines
One of The Barnes and Noble Review Editors' Picks: Best Nonfiction of 2012 Selected by The Christian Science Monitor as one of "21 smart nonfiction titles...
Read More »
Nature may have handed scientists a new clue in a longstanding mystery: how matter beat out antimatter for dominance of the universe. Early data from twin experiments at the Tevatron, the world's reigning particle accelerator at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Batavia, Ill., suggest an unexpected chink in the hugely successful standard model of particle physics.
The twist comes from odd behavior in a particle called the BS (pronounced "B-sub-S"), which flips back and forth between its matter and antimatter forms three trillions times per second. Researchers believe that such a breakdown, known as CP violation, is required to explain why matter is so abundant.
Researchers say the finding is well worth following up to make sure it is not a random clump in the data, as frequently happens in particle physics experiments. "This is exciting, definitely," says physicist Jacobo Konigsberg of the University of Florida in Gainesville, cospokesperson for CDF, one of two detectors that may have glimpsed the effect.
Antimatter is well-known to science fiction fans as the stuff that explodes on contact with regular particles such as protons and electrons, which have the same mass as their antiparticles but the opposite charge. The hot, early universe contained equal parts matter and antimatter. Yet somehow, as the cosmos cooled, matter was not completely annihilated.
Researchers strongly suspect that the key to this riddle lies in the weak nuclear force, which governs radioactive decay, along with more exotic reactions created in particle accelerators. In nearly all cases, matter obeys something called CP symmetry, which states that a particle ought to behave identically to the mirror image of its antiparticle. Not so when acted on by the weak nuclear force.
The amount of CP violation observed in experiments (and enshrined in the standard model), however, is far too little to explain why matter should have prevailed in its ancient war with antimatter. To get a clean look at CP symmetry, DZero and its sibling detector, CDF, focus on the BS, which consists of a bottom quark and a strange antiquark. (Quarks are components of protons and neutrons.) Working independently, the two detectors both found an extra dose of CP violation beyond what the standard model predicts.
Neither result on its own was very convincing, so a team of European researchers combined the data, similar to the way medical researchers cull information from independent clinical trials, to look for rare side effects. Together, the data make it 99.7 percent likely that the discrepancy is real, not due to chance, says physicist Luca Silvestrini of the National Institute for Nuclear Physics in Rome, who took part in the study submitted to Physical Review Letters.
Such analyses require making judgment calls, but Silvestrini says he is confident in the finding. "Everything points in the same direction, and so I think it's rather unlikely this is a statistical fluke," he says. Konigsberg says that if it is a fluke, that should become clear by the end of the summer as the Fermilab teams analyze more data.
Whether the hypothetical CP violation would fully explain matter's dominance over antimatter depends on the new physics that gave rise to it. According to theoretical physicist Robert Fleischer of CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Geneva, Switzerland, the simplest explanation would be a massive, photonlike particle similar to known members of the standard model and capable of interacting directly with bottom quarks and strange antiquarks.

About Last Night: Saints Too Much for Falcons
By Spike Friedman atIn case you were busy really thinking about Michael Jordan's trademark celebration; he was just sticking his tongue out, right? How did he make that cool? That's kinda just gross, yes? Yeah, anyway, here's what you missed in sports on Thursday:
- Despite being held to three second-half points, the New Orleans Saints did enough to beat the Atlanta Falcons, 17-13, to keep in pace in the race for the top seed in the NFC. "I almost wish we'd let them win that, but the damn Seahawks " Saints quarterback Drew Brees said while shaking his head. When asked why he would possibly want to lose a divisional battle in the heat of the playoff race, Brees suddenly clammed up, but the wind whispered, "Clowney," as a shudder ran down his spine.
- A late 3-point barrage from guard Nate Robinson and forward Jordan Hamilton was the difference as the Denver Nuggets pulled away from the Chicago Bulls in a 97-87 home victory. "Hamilton and Nate, you say?" said Robinson after the game, as he arched an eyebrow. "That sounds like a great idea for a buddy cop drama starring me, Nate Robinson. I call it Nate and Hamilton. I'm a young bad boy, and Hamilton's a grizzled veteran. And he's all like, 'Gimme your badge, Nate,' and I'm all like, 'Gimme one more chance, Hamilton,' and he's all like, 'You're a loose cannon, Nate,' and I'm all like, 'This whole city's a loose cannon, Hamilton.'" Hamilton then piped up to ask who would play Hamilton, because it sounded like a juicy part, and he wondered if Robinson had anyone in mind. Robinson considered for a second, before pointing at Hamilton and saying, "Carl Weathers."

Sources familiar with investigation say American prosecutors close to arresting individuals over Libor scandal
American prosecutors and European regulators are close to arresting individual traders over the Libor scandal and charging them with colluding to manipulate global benchmark interest rates, according to sources familiar with the investigation.
Federal prosecutors in Washington DC have recently contacted lawyers representing some of the individuals under suspicion to notify them that criminal charges and arrests could be imminent, said two sources speaking anonymously.
Defence lawyers representing individuals under suspicion said prosecutors have indicated they will begin making arrests and filing charges in the next few weeks. In long-running financial investigations it is not uncommon for prosecutors to contact defence lawyers for individuals before filing charges to offer them a chance to co-operate or take a plea, the lawyers said.
Alongside the investigation into how traders allegedly sought to influence the London Interbank Offered Rate, or Libor, and other global rates there in an effort by regulators to punish major banks with fines.
"The individual criminal charges have no impact on the regulatory moves against the banks," said a European source familiar with the matter. "But banks are hoping that at least regulators will see that the scandal was mainly due to individual misbehaviour of a gang of traders."
"More than a handful of traders at different banks are involved," said the source.
There are also probes in Europe concerning Euribor, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate.
It is not clear what individuals and banks federal prosecutors are most focused on. A top US Department of Justice lawyer overseeing the investigation did not respond to a request for a comment.
Reuters previously reported that more than a dozen current and former employees of several large banks are under investigation, including Barclays, UBS and Citigroup, and have hired defence lawyers over the past year as a federal grand jury in Washington DC continues to gather evidence.
The activity in the Libor investigation, which has been going on for three years, has quickened since Barclays agreed last month to pay £290m in fines and penalties to settle allegations with regulators and prosecutors that some of its employees tried to manipulate key interest rates from 2005 through 2009.
Barclays, which signed a non-prosecution agreement with US prosecutors, is the first major bank to reach a settlement in the investigation, which also is looking at the activities of employees at HSBC, Deutsche Bank and other major banks.
The Barclays settlement sparked outrage and a series of public hearings in Britain, after which Barclays chief executive Bob Diamond announced his resignation.
The source familiar with the regulatory investigation in Europe said two traders who have been suspended from Deutsche Bank were among those being investigated. A Deutsche Bank spokesman declined to comment.
The Financial Times reported on Wednesday that regulators were looking at suspected communication among four traders who had worked at Barclays, Credit Agricole, HSBC and Deutsche Bank.
Banks also face a growing number of civil lawsuits from cities, companies and financial institutions claiming they were harmed by rate manipulation. Morgan Stanley recently estimated that the 11 global banks linked to the Libor scandal may face £9bn in regulatory and legal settlement costs through 2014.

With thousands of frame and mat samples, The Great Frame Up can satisfy any and all framing fantasies. The expert framespeople can make diplomas radiate (diploma framing starts at around $100), personalized jerseys glisten (starting around $300), and dorm-room movie posters sparkle (24" x 36" pieces are under $100). The design wizards can also find a home for any prized possession, such as shoebox photos, baby booties, ticket stubs, medals, and really good pot roasts. The Great Frame Up's no-hassle guarantee and assurance that all work is done on-site means your frameables won't be subject to mistreatment at underground commercial framing facilities.
The winner of seven consecutive Best Custom Framing awards from CityVoter users, Masterpieces Fine Art & Custom Framing stocks more than 2,300 frames, including work by industry mainstay Larson-Juhl. Its skilled framers meld function and aesthetic form to secure works of art in everything from American hardwood to 22-karat-gold-leafing frames to metal handcuffs. Aside from framing, the staff also restores faded or creased photos to their original vivid states and brings photos to life by converting them into imitation oil paintings or watercolors that look like they were born from hours of meticulous brushstrokes.
Ultrazone Laser Tag might be familiar to fans of The Real World, whose cast members—fed up with drama—blew off steam by ducking colorful laser beams in the sprawling multilevel arena's fog-filled maze. There's enough space for 45 vest-clad players to face off at one time, and plasma monitors let the next wave watch the game as they eagerly await their turn. The expansive recreation center also hosts sleepover parties that grant exclusive overnight use of the laser-tag facilities, the plasma-screen theater, and the room that's inexplicably full of doorknobs. Outside the arena, an arcade keeps synapses ablaze with video games, air hockey, and golf simulators, supplemented with slices of Papa John's pizza from the cafe.
Born out of the three core principles of public engagement, collaboration, and design excellence, the Philadelphia Center for Architecture stays true to its founding vision by connecting professionals and community leaders through activities ranging from exhibits and competitions to charitable functions and workshops. The center also reels in a wider audience with public walking tours scheduled in conjunction with the Preservation Alliance of Greater Philadelphia, revealing the secrets of some of the city's most notable buildings with the help of trained guides. As a chapter of AIA Philadelphia, the center also hosts public forums between architects and community members, promoting dialogue about the importance of sustainable neighborhoods and the need for public spaces dedicated entirely to sack races.
At The Adventure Aquarium, patrons can not only look at sharks in a tank, but be surrounded by them. At the Ocean Realm Exhibit, great hammerhead sharks, swim through a 750,000-gallon tank, their 7-foot bodies passing all around onlookers in the 40-foot shark tunnel.
Of course, Adventure Aquarium also houses a wide variety of marine animals. Their two Nile hippos each weigh in at approximately 3,000 pounds, and their mouths can open up to four feet—enough to swallow most wedding cakes in a single bite. At the aquarium's West African River Experience, visitors marvel at these hippos as they plunge into the water and swim right up to the glass. The Jules Verne Gallery, meanwhile, houses a giant pacific octopus. This cephalopod mollusk stretches out eight tentacles, each covered in some 280 suction cups.
The Elmwood Park Zoo surrounds its guests in a microcosm of North and South American habitats. American bison roam a grasslands area, bobcats prowl over the wetlands exhibit, and bald eagles soar within the confines of Olivia's Eagle Canyon. These are just three of the roughly 300 animals that call the zoo home. In addition to frolicking across exhibit spaces, many of these creatures also interact with zoo visitors at the ZooBowl outdoor amphitheater.
The extraordinary Grounds For Sculpture (GFS) in the heart of central New Jersey offers tons to do for adults and children alike. With 270 contemporary sculptures on 35 stunning acres, galleries, concerts, festivals, lectures, amazing dining, shopping and more, there's something for everyone at Grounds For Sculpture.

Working with Access Control Lists
Access Control Lists offer extremely flexible permission management. At the same time, ACLs take some of the workload from the administrator's shoulders by shifting responsibility for access permissions to the file owner. Thanks to default ACLs and masks, the administrator still keeps control.
Data exchange remains a major problem. Because almost every operating system uses a different ACL variant, the various versions are typically incompatible or only partially convertible, so permissions are often lost in the conversion process. Administrators in heterogeneous environments therefore have to keep on their toes.

wow.... that's a stretch. i think if they got slash and it was for some crappy daughtry song there'd be a riot or something.
besides, slash is the face of that other "real guitar" game that's not RB or RS and is supposedly coming out soon, so i doubt we'll be seeing any slash on RS for a while.
