Everyone loves a nickname, and Supernatural has plenty for the characters, the actors, and of course the fans ourselves.
The Show
When Supernatural started, SN was used as an abbreviation for the show on things such as Livejournal community names, for example the original sn_newsletter. However some fans found it could be confused with the TV show and fandom for "Sports Night", while SNL was associated with Saturday Night Live. So SPN became the commonly used abbreviation. Its usage spread even more widely with the advent of the letter economical Twitter.
SPN (pronounced "ess pee en") is usually capitalised and is used to refer to the show and the fandom.
For other Supernatural slang, and the mashup pairing names such as Sassy or Megstiel check the entries in the Vernacular category. For aliases and fake ids used on the show see Aliases.
Sam and Dean
While not exactly a nickname, the most common term used to refer to Sam and Dean by fans, and occasionally by Bobby, is "the boys". Crowley says on several occasions "hello, boys".[1][2][3][4][5] Abaddon and Irv Franklin refer to them as "boys" on a few occasions in 9.02 Devil May Care.
Sam and Dean have a ritual where Dean calls Sam a "Bitch" and Sam responds with "Jerk". While this is strongly associated with the characters, it has only been referenced six times on the show.[6][7][8]. (video compilation of references).
Bobby's affectionate term for the boys is Idjits. In 7.10 Death's Door, Bobby's dying word to the boys is "Idjits".
Most commonly it is the Winchester's adversaries who refer to them by a variety of pejorative epithets:
- Uriel refers to Dean, and all humans, as "mud monkeys"[9]
- Atropos, Crowley and finally Castiel himself, refer to Sam and Dean as Cas' "pets".[10][11][12]
- Interestingly, Sam is called Chachi by Gordon [13]. and Dean by Pamela[14]. This is a reference to Chachi from "Happy Days" and "Joanie Loves Chachi".
- Abaddon calls the boys "Howdy and Doody".[15]
Probably the most expressive term is used by the ever articulate Crowley who calls them "denim-wrapped nightmares".[11]. He also calls them the Hardy Boys[16], a term long-used in the Television Without Pity recaps of Supernatural. That forum also referred to the boys in 2005/06 as The Brothers Dean. This related to Jared's previous role as Dean Forrester on Gilmore Girls. Occasionally Sam was referred to as Cute!Dean and Dean as Hot!Dean.
Crowley also calls Sam "Moose" and Dean "Squirrel", referring to the cartoon duo of Bullwinkle (the moose) and Rocky (a squirrel)[17] and Timon and Pumbaa who are a cartoon meerkat and warthog duo who first appeared in Disney's 1994 animated film The Lion King.[18] Crowley's caller id for Dean is Not Moose. [5]
Cole Trenton refers to the boys as Sammy and Deano. He wrote about this character choice here.
Dean: House rules, Sammy. Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole.
Sam: You know, Sammy is a chubby 12 year old. It's Sam, okay?
– Sam and Dean, 1.01 Pilot
Dean's nickname for Sam is Sammy, generally used either for teasing or in moments of great emotion. While Sam initially protests its use after he and Dean first reunite in 2005, it becomes clear it has as much meaning for Sam as it does for Dean when Gordon Walker uses it and Sam retorts "He's the only one who gets to call me that."[13]. For a count of every time Dean uses this nickname see Sammy.
Michael refers to Sam as Dean's "darling little Sammy".[19] and Cole Trenton also calls him Sammy at their second encounter[20]
Darling Sammy was also the nickname for Sam in the Television Without Pity recaps by Demian.
Most of the nicknames for Sam both in canon and fandom refer to Sam's Height:
Crowley in particular has a number of nicknames based on Sam's height including:
Rowena refers to him as "Giant" and a "bampot" (idiot) in 10.19 The Werther Project. And "Big and tall" in 10.22 We Happy Few.
In 8.02 What's Up, Tiger Mommy? Crowley calls Sam "Samantha", possibly a reference to his long hair in Season 8.
In 7.09 How to Win Friends and Influence Monsters, the waiter Brandon refers to Sam as Big Bird. Meg calls Sam Bullwinkle in 7.21 Reading Is Fundamental.
Billie refers to Sam as "The Big W" in 11.17 Red Meat.
There are also nicknames for the various incarnations of Sam:
- Evil!Sam - the name given by fans to Sam when he was possessed by the Meg!Demon[22]. Over time the term has come to have a broader use, especially in fanfiction where there is a whole genre based on the premise of Sam, for some reason, becoming evil.
- RoboSam - used by Dean to describe Sam when he didn't have a soul.[1] and was widely used by fans and TV reviewers. Other terms used included Soulless!Sam or Not!Sam. Sam with a soul was occasionally referred to as soulful Sam and Care Bear Sam Source.
- Samifer - used by fandom to describe when Sam is Lucifer's vessel.
- Sampala - used by fandom to describe when Sam is transformed into the Impala by Gabriel.[23]
- Leviathan!Sam - for when a leviathan poses as Sam.[24]
- Sammich is a fan nickname for Sam and is also used in Keith R.A. DeCandido's tie-in novel Nevermore by Dean as a nickname/pet name for Sam.
Dean doesn't really have a nickname. Sam calls him Dean. A lot.[25]
Occasionally others use terms that refer to his good looks: Ghostfacer Ed Zeddmore calls him "chisel chest"[26], and Brandon a waiter at Biggerson's Restaurant refers to him as "Ken Doll" as he serves him a turducken slammer.
In 7.11 Adventures in Babysitting Frank Devereaux gives Dean a variety of nicknames; Sweetie pops; Buster Brown; My Little Lamb; Tarzan; Grasshopper; Cupcake. Frank also compares the two of them to Cheech and Ed from Ma Bell while they are costumed as electricians while undertaking surveillance.
In 4.16 On the Head of a Pin the demon Alastair also calls Dean 'Grasshopper':
- Alastair: Now we're getting somewhere. Holy water? Come on. Grasshopper, you're gonna have to get creative to impress me.
Gabriel and Cole are known for calling him "Dean-o".
Fannish nicknames include: Deen, Ducky lips, El Deano, Li'l Stumpy and Puddean. At the start of Season 10, when Demon Dean appeared, the CW tried to get "Deanmon" up as a nickname. Like "fetch", they couldn't make it happen.
Dean: Woah!! Listen to her purr! Have you ever heard anything so sweet?
Sam: You know, if you two want to get a room, just let me know, Dean.Dean: Don't listen to him, baby. He doesn't understand us.
– Sam and Dean Winchester, 2.03 Bloodlust
It wasn't until 2.01 In My Time of Dying that Dean's car was referred to as "the Impala", by Sam. Most notably she's called the Impala in the monologue by Chuck in 5.22 Swan Song.
Dean's term of endearment for his beloved Impala, first used in 2.03 Bloodlust, is "Baby". This is commonly used in fandom and by the cast and crew. Dean uses the diminutive in the following episodes: 2.03 Bloodlust, 2.05 Simon Said, 3.08 A Very Supernatural Christmas, 6.15 The French Mistake, 7.06 Slash Fiction, 7.01 Meet the New Boss, 8.02 What's Up, Tiger Mommy? and 9.04 Slumber Party.
Fans often refer to the car as "the Impala" or "Baby" partcularly in fan fiction. When Sam is transformed into the Impala by Gabriel, fans dubbed it the Sampala!
The nickname Metallicar originated on Television Without Pity on October 11, 2005 source. It was coined because Dean enjoys listening to classic rock music like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and, of course, Metallica while driving. It became commonplace throughout fandom, and has appeared on merchandise. It diminished in usage over later seasons, replaced by "Baby".
Cas is a nickname for Castiel, first used by Dean in [27] and later commonly by other characters. Before its use in canon there were relatively few instances of this diminutive in fandom, and when it did appear it was generally pilloried. Subsequently its use became widespread.
The show's writers spell the nickname "Cass" (example), and it also appears that way in Tie-in novels. It is spelled Cass in the Season 7 promo. In fandom, and particularly in Fanfiction, it is almost exclusively spelled "Cas".
One theory as to the spelling "Cass" is that the writers based Castiel on the angel Cassiel, best known in popular culture from the movies Wings of Desire and the American remake City Of Angels. ays as a Soviet invader in Am The demon Meg refers to Castiel as Clarence in a reference to the angel in the movie It's a Wonderful Life[16][28][29][30]. In 9.03 I'm No Angel, Castiel adopts the name Clarence as a cover when he is human.
- Tree-topper is a nickname Meg used for Castiel[29]
Other nicknames include My Sweet Baboo on TWOP and Hot Wings, which was coined by TV Guide in their 2009 Hot List.
Fannish nicknames for Castiel include:
- Godstiel - after he has absorbed the souls of Purgatory and proclaimed himself a god.[31]
- Thingstiel - Castiel in his true form
- Clairestiel is the mashup nickname for Castiel while possessing Claire Novak as a vessel.
- Casifer or Lustiel are nicknames for Cas while he is possessed by Lucifer.
The other demons call him Lucky the Leprechaun, a description suited to an Irishman.[32]
In repsponse to crowley referring to him as "Squirrel" Dean on one occasion calls Crowley "Boris" and refers to Rowena as "Natasha", In the animated series The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show starred a moose called Bullwinkle and a squirrel called Rocky - the source of Crowley's nicknames for the Winchester's. Their nemesis were secret agents of the nation of Pottsylvania: the rather diminutive Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale.
When Genevieve Padalecki (then Cortese) was cast as Ruby in Season 4, her version of the character became known as Ruby 2.0, New Ruby or its contraction Nuby. Katie Cassidy's Ruby became known as Old Ruby.
Rubella was a mashup name of Ruby and Bela used by fans who were not keen on the two new characters introduced in Season 3. source.
The demon Casey reveals that Azazel is the true name of the demon the Winchesters have been hunting in Season Three[33]. In Season 1, he is referred to as "the thing that killed Mom and Jess" and subsequently, after John reveals he knows what it is, as The Demon. In Season 2, Dean refers to him as The Yellow-Eyed Demon. Fannish shorthand for this was YED.
Another fannish term was Celine Demon coined on the TWOP boards on September 14, 2005, and derived from a misreading of the words Ceiling Demon as Celine Dion.
Other characters
- John Winchester : By fans as Papa Winchester and on TWOP - as the Lying Liar That Lies. Reviewers at TV Guide have been calling John Winchester "Big Daddy Winchester" since Season 1 Source.
- Lucifer: Gabriel called him "Luci" in 5.19 Hammer of the Gods and he is often referred to as such by fans too. He is called Samifer when possessing Sam. Hallucifer is a fan-created nickname for Sam's hallucinations of Lucifer which originated in the LJ community ontd_spnparty's 7x01 Party Post. source
- Gabester - mashup nickname coined after the Trickster was revealed as the archangel Gabriel[23].
- Sampa: Term coined by fandom in early Season 6 for Samuel Campbell to distinguish him from Sam.
- Victor Henriksen - who needed a nickname because no-one could spell his real name - dubbed "Agent Scooter Javert Bad Assitude" on Television Without Pity
- Abaddon - dubbed by Crowley as "the world's angriest ginger".[34]
Cast and Crew Nicknames
Well obviously we both call each other J, and when anybody says "Alright J, they're ready for you", they generally get both of us. (Points to Jared) J-Rod. I call him J-Rod. The crew, he gets J-Rod. And then I get Jackles. Yeah J-Rod and Jackles are probably the two most commonly used.
The most popular fannish terms are J2 or J-squared. The term "J-squared" was used by Misha in the episode 6.15 The French Mistake. Jared and Jensen are also referred to as "the boys" by both fans and fellow cast and crew. The portmanteau "Padackles" was popular in the first couple of seasons of the show.
Fartacus is a nickname Jared created for himself referring to his prodigious production of gas source.
In a January 2007 issue of Pop Star magazine, it reported that Smeckles was Jared's nickname for Jensen. At EyeCon April 2008 Jared listed some nicknames for Jensen, including Smackles and Ugly, and mentioned Stretch for himself. (Video)
In fandom, Jared often attracts many of the same nicknames as Sam, which is not surprising given they are the same height. Moose became popular after its use in the show and at conventions, and especially following Jared joining Twitter. Puppy is another commonly fannish nickname, referring to Jared's boundless energy, affectionate nature and good humour.Also J-Pad.
Adding the prefix "Pada" to anything is a common fannish habit: Padacock is a fannish nickname for Jared's penis, while his and Genevieve's first child Thomas was referred to as the Padabump and as mini-Moose after he was born. The on-set logistics around the impending birth were known as "Operation Moose Drop"
Jensen is called Jackles by his costars and crew members. On the Tough Mudder video he is listed as J-Money. Frackles is a fannish nickname for Jensen's freckles.
- J2 be used in combination with other actors eg J2M refers to Jared, Jensen and Misha, J2M2 refers to Jared, Jensen, Misha and Mark Sheppard.

- Mark Pellegrino: Marksha - an nickname of complex origins from Mishaland a CAPSLOCK COMMUNITY.
- Chad Michael Murray: Mayhem - a nickname arising from RPS fanfic.

Fandom Nicknames
Then most commonly used term for the fandom is SPNFamily.
When the Supernatural fandom began, fans would occasionally discuss collective terms that could be applied to Supernatural fans, similar to "Trekkies or Trekkers" for Star Trek fans, or "Whovians" for fans of the Doctor Who. Discussions were had, polls conducted, suggestions such as rocksalters, saltgunners, renegades and roadies canvassed, but nothing ever stuck.
Super fans has been used occasionally - possibly coined by TV Guide reviewer Matt Roush is response to a fan postcard campaign in February 2007 source. In the show Becky Rosen is referred to more than once as Sam's "super fan" [35][36]
Around early 2011, the term "Supernatural Family" came into circulation, used at first by Jared to describe how he felt about the relationship between the cast, crew and fans: "It's like my third family," he says of his fans. "I have my family, my on-set family, and then our 'Supernatural' family, so I love them. My 'Supernatural' family's the biggest and strongest, so I love 'em." [37]. He also used it at the Comic Con 2011 [38] The usage spread amongst other crew members on Twitter such as Jim Michaels.
For the 2013 People's Choice Awards, there was also a new category for "Favorite TV Fan Following". The Supernatural fandom was referred to as "Dean Girls, Sam Girls, and Misha Wives". Within hours of the polls opening, fan complaints about this led to it being changed to SPN Family. We won the award!
Supe Nazi is a term coined by TV critic Michael Ausiello. The term SPNers has some currency and is often used by Clif Kosterman on Twitter. Some fans have used the term Super Freaks.
Fans particularly intensely attached to certain characters are variously called Sam Girls, Dean Girls or Cas Fans.
Although not widely used, Jensen fans are sometimes called (usually by themselves) Ackleholics, and Jared fans are Padafans or Padaphiles.
Fans of Divine: The Series have been dubbed Divinites.
Of course most fans have individual online 'nicknames' or handles that we use on the social media site, message board or websites we are involved with.
Anyway, I'll think of you as friends not followers. But then again, maybe minions is a better term... I'll percolate.

JAOtech Uses Embedded Intel® Architecture
Simplifying the Integration of Point-of-Care Clinical Information and Patient Entertainment
Today as people's expectations with regards to multimedia access continue to intensify, hospitals and clinical care environments are looking more and more into investigating and addressing the multimedia requirements needed to take patient care in to the future. Patients now want more than just a hospital television with standard channels. They want individual bedside terminals that provide state-of-the-art entertainment and communication facilities. The deployment of terminals in a hospital-based environment can help ensure that a hospital stay becomes less monotonous and time consuming, resulting in increased patient comfort and satisfaction.
However, there are other significant benefits to be gained. Bedside terminals also help achieve greater efficiencies by deploying staff in such a way so as to ensure that new and more efficient procedures can be more easily implemented. While a hospital will ultimately be judged on the quality of medical care it provides, looking ahead, as patients' needs continue to evolve, they will also be evaluated on the quality of multimedia access and other services they offer.
In fact, other healthcare environments such as diabetes/dialysis clinics, retirement homes, hospital waiting rooms, etc., will be judged on their ability to provide similar multimedia services. However, that is only part of the story. A smart terminal system also can positively impact on the role of medical staff members within a hospital environment. The capability to access all patient information at the bedside while talking to a patient, to display an ECG profile, or to discuss the specific treatment pattern based on a MRI image can be considered extremely beneficial by medical staff members.
Today Intel® architecture-based platforms are enabling leading-edge companies such as JAOtech to accelerate the delivery of feature-packed patient bedside terminal solutions. That's all due to Intel's scalable family of processors that can support the various networking protocols, software stacks, and multiple I/O interfaces essential for current and future bedside terminal designs.

text: I have noticed that a lot of people are using names such as Rivendell and Waterford and others to sell there items on eBay. I have no problem with using a word or name like Rivendell to sell your product if you bought it from them but should they be allowed to use the name in the in the Title field to get people to notice. I often like to search for stuff on eBay and get tired of sifting through loads of junk. Like search Rivendell and click bicycles and you will see one Rivendell and more bikes not Rivendell then are Rivendell. Now if your selling something ok fine but I think eBay is infested with junk auctions. If your selling Rivendell fine but don't say Tomac Rivendell or Trek Rivendell or another name in the title field. Cross reference is fine but do you think that eBay is over run with misleading auctions. I think if you have a Japeneese frame its ok in the description but not to say Nishiki Rivendell and you look and its for a set of wheels that are no namers. The above is things I have seen and maybe not on eBay now.

Okay, maybe not all of Russian Fashion Week, maybe just the YanaStasia show. I don't know anything about this YanaStasia designer and my Google search turned up a Cyrillic Rubik's Cube. But what I do know is pretty… colorful. Let's learn about this mysterious collection and use excerpts from great Russian literature as a helpful guide to its philosophies along the way More

James E. Key II, MD, Department Editor
This year's ARVO offerings in the realm of contact lenses share a better understanding of the corneal changes induced by corneal refractive therapy and further elucidate the effect of care solutions on the cornea and the lenses themselves. Study continues on comfort and compatibility of silicone hydrogels, and on the changes in tear film vis-à-vis contact lens wear. The 2004 papers offer good guidance for the contact lens practitioner, especially in difficult cases, but don't represent any dramatic breakthroughs in new products or clinical usage.
Tear FilmIn healthy people, the functional behavior of the tear film should not be affected by contact lens wear, say researchers in Glasgow. Nineteen pathology-free subjects (mean age 31.5 years) wore biweekly disposable lenses in a daily-wear modality. After three months of wear, tear stability, evaporation and production rate showed no change from that seen initially. The one exception was tear composition, where significant increases in tear protein production levels were observed with adaptation to lens wear.1579Study at the Schepens Eye Research Institute in Boston showed that neither the mucin RNA in the epithelium nor the free mucin proteins in the tears are altered by long-term contact lens wear. Researchers compared the tear fluid of 20 long-term (longer than five years), tolerant CL wearers with that of 20 non-CL wearers. No significant change was detected for any of the mucins (MUC1, 4, 5AC, and 16) when analyzing the expression of mRNA from CL and non-CL wearers. This indicates that in normal, healthy individuals without some pre-existing dry eye or other morphological change to the eye, contact lens wear appears to be fairly well-tolerated by the tear film.1567
Corneal Refractive TherapyStudies presented this year on corneal refractive therapy focused again on safety and efficacy issues, but expanded as well into examination of CRT lens design and involvement of higher-order aberrations.Even one hour of orthokeratology lens wear produces a measurable response on the cornea of young adults, say Australian researchers. Subjects wore reverse geometry lenses under open-eye conditions for one hour in one eye only. They were divided into two groups by age: Group I with a mean age of 24.3 and Group II at 43.9 years. Statistically significant changes from baseline were found in both subject groups for unaided visual acuity, corneal asphericity, apical corneal radius and central corneal and epithelial thickness. Of note, the older lens wearers (Group II) showed a reduced or delayed response to ortho-k lens wear. This research indicates that a one-hour open-eye test might be a good in-office screen for patient response to and toleration of reverse geometry lenses.1546
Care SystemsAs in last year's abstracts, several 2004 papers weigh in on the question of cytotoxicity of contact lens multipurpose solutions containing polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB). The research has become more specific, looking at both levels of PHMB and at the other components of the MPS that contain it. The clinician might keep MPS in mind for a patient who is not comfortable after a period of adaptation with silicone hydrogels.In an Alcon-sponsored clinical trial, adapted lens wearers wore conventional hydrogel (Group II or Group IV) or silicone hydrogel lenses that had been presoaked in one of four commercially available multipurpose solutions. Results showed that patients wearing Group II conventional hydrogel or Group I silicone hydrogel lenses could have corneal staining within even a few hours after insertion with a PHMB-based system. It is important to note, however, that while levels of staining were clinically significant, few associated subjective symptoms were reported by study subjects. For patients who do complain of contact lens sensitivity, a substitution of care solution might be a simple first step before swapping of lenses is considered.1538A paper by Houston researchers attempts to get beyond corneal staining and look at actual epithelial cells to determine any toxicity from MPS. Eight healthy subjects were selected to receive one drop t.i.d. of one of two multipurpose solutions (labeled MPS-A and MPS-B). MPS-A contained polydronium hydrochloride. MPS-B contained poloxamine. Using a ConfoScan3 confocal microscope, neither MPS-A or MPS-B showed evidence of acute increase in corneal exfoliation or damage when compared to the saline control.1533A study from CIBA Vision examined the dehydration rate of hydrogel contact lenses in order to determine the effect of care solutions on this rate. Lens dehydration is connected both to patient comfort and stability of vision. In this study, the dehydration rate was more dependent on the type of lens material than it was on the contact lens solution used. Researchers tested five commercially available contact lenses from Groups I and IV with three commercially available MPS, one investigational solution (CIBA's AQuify) and saline as a control. AQuify had steady state equilibrium water content levels that were 50-percent higher than the other lens care products, indicating that new solutions may be on the horizon that may be of help to the dry-eye contact lens patient.1545Another CIBA Vision study suggests that cytotoxicity may be relative to the absolute concentration of PHMB in an MPS. Investigators used colorimetric assays to determine the quantitative factor-induced cytotoxicity within a 24- to 72-hour period of cell culture. They tested soft contact lens products with PHMB, the corresponding excipient solutions, and PHMB diluted by phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Results revealed that only PHMB at 10 ppm was cytotoxic. Since PHMB of marketed contact lens solutions is approximately 1 ppm, this study suggests that other components of the solutions and/or the way PHMB reacts with these other parts may be responsible for cell damage.1534
Silicone Hydrogel LensesThe availability of a choice of silicone hydrogel lens material becomes important to the clinician who tries to satisfy a preservative-sensitive patient. A CIBA Vision-sponsored study actually looked at the uptake of PHMB by two types of commercial silicone hydrogel soft contact lenses. Focus Night & Day (CIBA Vision) and PureVision (Bausch & Lomb) lenses were soaked in PHMB-preserved solutions for one or seven days, followed by measurement of the lenses' PHMB uptake. Regardless of soak time or type of solution, PureVision lenses took up more PHMB than the CIBA Vision lens. Also of note, this research showed that, while all of the tested care solutions contained 1 ppm PHMB, uptake of the preservative by the lenses was not equal. Just as not all silicone hydrogel lenses are alike, neither are the care solutions.1573

Lack of U.S. credit history can result in higher utility deposit
Posted on Feb 12 2014 by experian.team
Dear Experian,
I'm a visiting J1 exchange professor at the University of Hawaii, and I'm being asked by the Hawaiian Electric company to pay a pretty hefty deposit for service to the house I'm renting. They have told me that Experian is the company they use for credit ratings and that the deposit is based on a rating provided by you. I have a very good credit rating in my home country. Could this rating not be used by your company?

A neighbor and good friend of mine has jumped in with both feet. Two FCR3's one for him and one for his wife, a tag along for his son and a new used bike for his daughter. He and his family have been on a few rides and today he went out with me for a 26 mile ride. This was his first ride of any distance and the "jerk":) had absolutly no problem keeping up with me. Finished at 14.2 mph. I guess the fact that he is a runner and is in very good shape especially for a 45 year old played into it, but did he have to ride so strong? I could not keep that pace earlier this year.
Oh well, it was a good ride, but next time I am going to have make him hurt a little.

News: Marines, sailors reach out to local Japanese children on Okinawa
Story by Pfc. J Nava
OKINAWA, Japan - Marines and sailors aboard Camp Schwab spent a day with children from the Nagomi Nursing Home for Children at Oura Wan Beach, Sunday.
A day filled with fun in the sun, including a cookout, where children from the Nagomi Nursing Home for Children interact with Marines and sailors has been an annual tradition aimed to serve as an intercultural outreach program for the past nine years, according to Fumio Iha, Camp Schwab's community relations representative and event coordinator.
"It's a morale booster and definitely good for everyone," said Navy Lt. Jeff Parks, 3rd Marine Division chaplain.
It shows Marines many of life's problems can be solved by helping other people, and it provides the children with parental figures that some of them might not have, Parks added.
The Marines and sailors began the day playing with the children on the beach and in the water.
"At first they were a little timid, but they soon became comfortable with us," said Petty Officer 3rd Class Luke Rhoades, a hospital corpsman with 3rd Medical Battalion, Combat Logistics Regiment 35, 3rd Marine Logistics Group. "We had a lot of fun out there playing with them."
The Marines and sailors cooked and served hot dogs and steak for the children after playing on the beach, which was promptly followed by more fun and games along the shore.
"Events like this promote good relations with our host country and local community," said 1st Sgt. Stennett Rey, first sergeant, 4th Marine Regiment, from Queens, N.Y. "It also helps show them [local nationals] we are here to support them."
When the children see and interact with Marines and sailors who are successful in life, it helps them aspire and dream to become the best that they can, according to Parks, a Bryan, Texas, native. Events like this help the children see things in life that are good.
"What we do here is for the kids," said Iha. "We show them that there is always someone out there that cares."

They're off and … walking
SACRAMENTO - Congress began 2007 with something to prove.
In roughly 45 hours of debate, the new Democratic majority opened the session by passing six major bills.
Granted they were approved without the normal reviews, but it was astonishingly fast by government standards.
In Sacramento, the pace has been substantially slower.
The state Legislature was sworn in a full month before Congress, on Dec. 4, but has done little except pass measures to help the families of five dead firefighters.
In fact, through the end of January, the Senate and Assembly combined had met just 15 times for a total of 9 hours, 14 minutes.
That's little more than a half-hour every time they met.
"It's crazy. It's crazy," Senate Republican Leader Dick Ackerman of Irvine said when I asked him when the Capitol pace would pick up. He echoed conventional wisdom and said it would be several more weeks. "That's just government," he said.
Insiders say the inaction is unavoidable. Veteran lawmakers need time to develop bills. Rookies need time to hire staff.
It sounds reasonable, except for one fact: Lawmakers begin their session in December specifically to avoid this sort of thing.
State law prohibits the Legislature from acting on bills until they've been in print for 30 days. To work around that, lawmakers started meeting for one day in December to get a jump on bill introductions.
Sessions "begin in December not for any other reason but bill introductions, so that by the time we come here in January there's work to be done. And that has been ignored," said Assemblyman Mervyn Dymally, D-Compton, the Assembly's senior-most member.
The Legislature this year introduced 163 bills and constitutional amendments before returning in January and then introduced another 253 that month. That's about average for the past seven sessions - but not a lot when you consider the deadline for introducing bills is Feb. 23 and the Legislature debates far more than 1,000 each year.
What's more, many of those bills don't say anything of substance. A quick look at all 416 measures revealed that at least 105, or 25 percent, were "spot bills" or "intent bills." That means they don't contain a real proposal - the language within is merely used to hold the bill number or outline a vague goal that will be detailed later.
I also found many lawmakers simply wait to introduce legislation. As late as last Feb. 2, 19 lawmakers still hadn't introduced a single bill, and an additional 24 had introduced only one.
"I don't think new members know why they came here in December," said Dymally, who had introduced 19 bills as of last week, more than any other lawmaker. "The whole point was to expedite the process."
California is one of 11 states to employ a full-time legislature. Others, like Washington state, get their work done in just a few months or, like Texas, every other year.
During their last regular session, in 2005, Texas lawmakers passed 1,389 bills. For their work, they are paid $7,200 a year.
In California, lawmakers passed 1,172 bills in 2006. They make more than $110,000 a year.
I asked former Assembly Speaker Bob Monagan if voters were getting their money's worth. Monagan led the Assembly in 1969 and 1970, just after voters approved the transition to a full-time Legislature. He said no.
"We have too many people in the Legislature who are not concerned about being in the Legislature but what their next job is going to be," he said.
Monagan, a Republican, was careful to blame both parties for the problem. He said laziness had infected everyone in Sacramento.
"I'd sure like to see them do more work," he said.

I suppose I'm not really your typical woman. I'm a bit of a geek, I like the outdoors quite a lot and I cannot cook. I used to buy readymeals and pizza all the way through university and it sufficed for years. I didn't even put on too much weight, surprisingly. Must be good for me. But I decided that I'm going to start learning how to cook, properly.
What convinced me that it is a good idea? Well, it's the boyfriend. We've been together for 2 years now and I still haven't cooked a single meal, even though he's done it many times. The reason why I said I need to start cooking properly, is because he is vegeterian. And it's still quite hard to buy a wide range of vegeterian meals, especially at the cheaper supermarkets. I mean there's choice in pretty much every store, but the problem is variety. You don't really want to eat the same thing over and over again. So I started looking up vegetable recipes and I came to a few conclusions:
– they are quicker and easier to make then I thought,
– vegetables don't have to be boring,
– vegetables work great with pastries (not just pizza!),
– a girlfriend who can cook makes a happy boyfriend.
There's a new app for the iPhone and iPad as well which came from the BBC and it's totally free. It's called BBC Good Food and it has tons of recipes to match your taste or mood. It's accompanied by pretty photography which always helps to make for a great user experience. I will defnitely be cooking more often now.
Happy eating John

"Leather Jacket" Success Story: A Conversation with director
David DeCoteau
by Aaron Krach
"Leather Jacket Love Story" is a guilty pleasure. The brain says, "don't
like this movie. It's light and giddy like the California sun." While the
heart says, "hey, this is kind of cool. Good looking men, a plausible story
and some sexy black and white photography." Some people may only go and see
"Leather Jacket Love Story" for its plentiful nudity and blatant disregard
for politics. And that's just fine for director David DeCoteau. After years
of b-movies, DeCoteau's first true personal film is an ultra-low budget
homage to 1940's romantic comedies.
After a year of traveling to festivals around the world, "Leather Jacket
Love Story" opens in New York, February 20 before traveling to a planned 25
U.S. cities. indieWIRE talked to DeCoteau in his Los Angeles office while
he was packing for a trip to Romania.
indieWIRE: Your resume is filled with action movies like "Prey of the
Jaguar" and "Skeletons." How did a gay director end up directing all these
tough "straight-guy" movies?
David DeCoteau: I got started as a production assistant working for Roger
Corman, Wim Wenders and James Cameron. I've been working as a director
professionally for 10 years It's how I make my living. I just finished,
"The Journey: Absolution" with Richard Greico and Mario Lopez for the Sci
Fi Channel. It's an action thriller set in a military academy in the
future. So having an openly gay director direct a movie that takes place in
a military academy, somehow all that gay subtext is no longer subtext. It's
overt, rarely does a guy wear a shirt. Shirtless and shower scenes, it's
pretty campy but action packed.
iW: How did that work lead into making a low-budget, black and white,
independent gay romance?
DeCoteau: I came out 3 years ago after making numerous horror movies and
began work on my own personal film, "Leather Jacket Love Story". We sent
the script around to all the major studios and the response was really
good. But the way we wanted to tell the story was a very honest way. We
wanted to make a movie where no gay people die or are abused or are the
brunt of every joke. The scary part for everyone was that we wanted to be
very honest about the sensuality of everyone. In 1997 it was time to be
honest. I didn't want it to be pornographic, I wanted it to be a lot of fun
and almost funny. It took a couple of years to get the script in shape and
then we made the movie. It really is more a labor of love than a job.
iW: Who's Goldeco, your distributor?
DeCoteau: Goldeco is actual Goldberg and DeCoteau, Jerry Goldberg and David
DeCoteau. We're doing it ourselves. Mike Thomas, from Strand, whose
specialty was distributing these kinds of films, was looking for something
to distribute on his own and our film was the first one he chose. He really
fell in love with it at a festival and basically we all became partners on
this film. He's going through the function of distributing the film even
though we're going through our label.
iW: And self-distribution has been all fun and games?
DeCoteau: Self distribution is a pain in the ass. But that's ok. 'Cause
everything about this movie has been a pain in the ass. We wanted it to be
perfect, and it's just not easy. Jerry and I just want to make the movies
that we want to see. We really don't want to emulate anybody. If we did we
would want to emulate the master who is John Waters. John Waters is the
master and he makes the most entertaining movies ever made.
iW: In the script, did you actually describe having so much nudity. And did
you have any trouble casting?
DeCoteau: Yes, in a way. That is what made it so hard to cast. Any actor in
LA will play gay but to kiss another man is a whole other thing. We read
hundreds of actors and cast Chris Bradley in the role of Mike. He was
really special and terrific and we were all on the same page. But we had a
tough time with Kyle, finding someone who looked 18 and had that naivete
and understood the character and was willing to do all the intimate love
making scenes. Everyone passed. Then I met Sean Tataryn, who had just got
in from Canada. He was in "The Boys of St. Vincent," and I had seen him in
that. He's a real special actor. Both of those guys gave really brave
performances. 'Cause here's a movie that's not going change the world, but
what they trusted me and they understood what I was trying to do. They
really had to carry the movie.
iW: Christopher Bradley, who plays Mike, called the ten day shoot "intense"
and "amazing." Why?
DeCoteau: Jerry the producer raised the money and then we went and made it.
I put together my crew that I used from all my other movies I had made.
They liked working with me in the past and they knew it was a special thing
for me so everybody gave a 1000 percent. That's the only way to get a movie
this done in 10 days. It was barely six figures.
iW: What about shooting in black and white?
DeCoteau: We shot it in black and white, which is more expensive, but was a
creative choice on my part. I felt that the old architecture of Silver Lake
and the nostalgic vibe the movie had, the leather jackets would be better
in black and white. And some of the greatest love stories ever told have
been shot in black and white. But it's been a positive and negative thing.
A lot of lazy distributors have been afraid to handle a black and white
movie cause people might not understand what it means. They didn't
understand what we were trying to do.
iW: So let's talk about the sex. Where did that come from?
DeCoteau: There have been a couple of bad reviews saying I have an
obsession with penises. Which I absolutely don't have. It just seemed
right. I don't have a problem with penises, I don't have a problem showing
them. I just think the taboo is ridiculous. For me the nudity wasn't an
issue. It's stupid to strategically place the sheets and the pot of
flowers. Once your in the bedroom, you might as well be as honest as
iW: So how did you end up with a cast that was so well endowed?
DeCoteau: It's so bizarre, 'cause I had no idea.
iW: Yeah, but law of averages, that would not happen.
DeCoteau: That was weird, once the pants came off. I had never seen these
people. I would never have had them take there clothes off first. But I
thought, well... and it worked out for the best.
iW: Any "Leather Jacket Love Story, Part II" in the works?
DeCoteau: We have a gay vampire movie that we want to shoot in Romania at
the end of the year. It will be the first gay picture ever produced in
Romania. We want to actually shoot it in the Transylvania Alps. We have the
first pass on the script and then it's time to go and raise the money.

Justin Timberlake Enters Billboard Hot 100 But Bruno Mars Keeps The Top Slot
By Jessica Rawden 3 years ago
The last week has been a big week for Justin Timberlake, who has managed to jump back into the music business, debut a new song and website, and try to make MySpace relevant, again. The actor and music-makers new track, Suit & Tie only debuted a few days ago, but its been popular enough, entering the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Still, Timberlake hasnt managed to even come close to beating smooth crooner Bruno Mars.
Locked Out of Heaven retained its position on the Hot 100 charts, although it did falter a little bit on some of the other charts, including the digital sales chart, which saw the single drop 31%. Still, for fans of the singer and the song, it was a hard-fought battle to earn the #1 slot, eventually beating Rihannas Diamonds, and Locked out of Heaven probably deserves at least a few more weeks of extra love. However, as Billboard is noting the songs overall numbers are slipping, it might be time sooner rather than later for a new song to enter the charts at #1.
In the interim, however, I expect Timberlakes Suit & Tie to continue to creep up the charts. The song entered at 84, which is good for a song that only entered the fray on Monday, but the track has a long way to climb before it is even in contention for a top slot. On the way it must pass Macklemore and Ryan Lewis Thrift Shop, which has been steadily closing in on Locked out of Heaven. Other tracks in the way of Suit & Ties success include The Lumineers Ho Hey and will.i.am and Britney Spears Scream & Shout. The song is the first single from Timberlakes upcoming third studio album The 20/20 Experience

Holy Month of Ramadan 2011 in Pictures
Friday, August 12, 2011 Community and Lifestyle , Photography , Ramadan 2 comments
Ramazan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, which lasts 29 or 30 days. It is the Islamic month of fasting, in which participating Muslims refrain from eating, drinking and sexual intimacy with their partners during daylight hours and is intended to teach Muslims about patience, spirituality, humility and submissiveness to God. Muslims fast for the sake of God (Arabic: الله, trans: Allah) and to offer more prayer than usual.

One of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World is now under threat, experts have warned, after Australian authorities approved a project to dump dredged sediment in the Great Barrier Reef marine park.
In what could be an environmental disaster with global implications, controversial plans have been approved as part of a project to create one of the world's biggest coal ports.
The decision was made by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA), but experts have warned Australia's already fragile Great Barrier Reef could be permanently damaged as sediment could smother or poison coral.
Australia's Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, who once famously said that climate change is "crap," has been accused of removing climate policies that protected the environment to allow the rich to become richer.
READ MORE: 'Tony Abbott Risks Destruction Of Australia's Great Barrier Reef'
In a potentially disastrous "double-whammy," Greenpeace previously told HuffPost UK that Australia's reef not only faces being irreversibly marred, but, additionally, as a result of the mining, the country's coal production threatens to spark carbon emissions on an unprecedented level.
Environmental experts today branded the approval "a disgrace."
The permit to dump spoil on the Reef will increase the likelihood that UNESCO lists it as "in danger" later in 2014, Greenpeace said.
"The government's priority should be to protect a reef which took millions of years to form, not take active steps to damage it," Greenpeace Reef Campaigner Louise Matthiesson said.
The expansion of destructive coal facilities in the World Heritage Area are being driven by the potential development of nine mega-mines in Queensland's vast Galilee Basin.
The Basin represents the world's second largest reserve of unexploited fossil fuel and the approval will likely result in thousands more coal ships passing through the Great Barrier Reef every year - a move branded "environmental madness."
But the disposal operation would be "subject to strict environmental conditions", GBRMPA claimed in a statement.
Abbott's government has come under fire for a raft of environmental decisions lately, including an election pledge to rescind expansion of Tasmania's World Heritage-listed forest reserve which has united environmental campaigners and the forestry industry, who see the plan as unworkable and damaging in the long term.

WWF Australia spokesman Richard Leck said the latest development marked a "sad day for the reef and anyone who cares about its future."
"We are devastated. I think any Australian or anyone around the world who cares about the future of the reef is also devastated by this decision.
"Exactly the wrong thing that you want to do when an ecosystem is suffering ... is introduce another major threat to it and that's what the marine park authority has allowed to happen today."

TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY PIERRE PRATABUY A scientist diver discovers the flora and fauna located on artificial reefs, by 30 meters deep (98.42 ft) on July 8, 2012 off shore of southern city of Marseille. The immersion in 2008 of nearly 30,000m3 (1.059.439 ft3) of artificial reefs in the bay of Marseilles rose to a return of the species. The presence of such some 200 hectars (494 acres) of artificial habitat for flora and fauna, located between the islands of Friuli and the Prado Bay, is 'the largest artificial reef made ??up in Europe,' said Didier Reault, French right wing party Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) City delegate to boating, beaches and national park of the Calanques.

Buckeye Balls Candy Recipe
By Monica Resinger
A great way to save money each holiday season is to give homemade candy. I have received homemade candies as gifts and I always love it when I do. It gives me a chance to try new candies and appreciate the fact that the giver spent time on me! How thoughtful! I have also given homemade candies as gifts and found it to be a fun tradition.
With all of the following packaging ideas, be sure your candies have cooled first before packing them. If you don't, they will stick together and become a mess. As a bonus, include the recipe. Write it out on a pretty recipe card, or print from the computer and include with the candies. Be sure to include a note with the recipe that it is the recipe for the candies you gave them whatever year it is. There are many ways to present candies as gifts, a couple I'll mention here. One way is to save coffee cans large or small; clean them, decorate them (if you wish), line them with wax paper, then fill with fresh cooled candy. You can decorate the coffee cans with a coat of spay paint and holiday stencils, or wrap it with wrapping paper. Just use your imagination or search the Internet for ideas.
Another great container for candies is a tin that previously held something else such as tea, purchased cookies or candies, etc. You may have some already, but if not, thrift stores have an abundance of them (many are decorative) for very reasonable prices. Clean first of course, then line with wax paper and fill with cooled fresh candy. These are great because there's a variety of sizes that will suit your giving needs and if you look for decorative ones, you will not need to do any decorating yourself... just add a bow and voila!
Pretty plastic holiday plates will also work. Just neatly present the candy, cover with colored plastic wrap and top with a bow.
Here's a delicious candy recipe to get you started:
Buckeye Balls
24 ounces powdered sugar
Position knife blade in food processor. Add half each of powdered sugar, peanut butter, and butter; top with cover. Process until thoroughly mixed. Shape into 1-inch balls. Repeat process. Combine chocolate and shortening in top of a double boiler; bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until chocolate melts. Dip each ball in chocolate until partially coated; place on waxed paper until chocolate hardens. Store in airtight container in refrigerator. Yield: about 7-dozen (4 per serving).

I was originally trying to follow this algorithm to create a little simple roguelike dungeon in C#. But I guess I'm just too stupid, because my result always came out a jumbled mess of crap.
I then switched over to my own algorithm, which produces not-great but semi-recognizable-as-a-dungeon results.
Does anyone have any examples of doing it the BSP way, as described in the linked article? It would be best if it weren't encumbered by a bunch of game details/library calls, because (again) I'm stupid.
(If you're especially masochistic and want me to post the code I had, I can, but I figured it'd be too much for an SO question.)

If you have an Asus Router with Firmware 184.108.40.206.220 you can now use its embedded DDNS client to update your No-IP hostname. By doing this you will no longer need to run our dynamic update client (DUC) on a local computer because the router will now be acting as the update client. TO do this follow the steps below.
Step 1: Open up your favorite browser and go to the router's default gateway address.
- http://192.168.1.1 (Default Address)
Step 2: Login to the router (common default values listed below).
- Default Username: admin
- Default Password: admin
Step 3: Click on "WAN" on the left hand side, then "DDNS" at the top.
Step 4: Enable DDNS functions in your Asus router and make sure you select "www.noip.com" as your server for DDNS.
You will need to use the following settings:
- DDNS Server: You will select your DNS service provider www.noip.com.
- Username or email address: Enter in your No-IP account username or email address.
- Password or DDNS Key: Enter your No-IP account password.
- Hostname: Enter your No-IP account hostname or domain.
That's it! As long as your Asus router is actively running, the device will check your IP address every few minutes and if it has changed we will send a notification to your account and update the desired host with the new IP address. This will prevent you from losing a connection simply because your IP address changed.
Note: No-IP free users need to manually post an update once a month in order to avoid the pending deletion state. Free hostnames are deleted after 30 days of inactivity. Inactivity is defined as when a host has not been updated or "touched" via the web interface or a DUC/DDNS with a new IP address. If your Internet service provider has not issued you a new address in the past 30 days your host will most likely be set to inactive.
Logging into the website and modifying the hostname manually also counts as an update and will reset the 30 day counter on the host. To eliminate the 30 day expiration notice you may wish to upgrade to the No-IP Enhanced service.

If you're looking to immerse yourself in Barcelona's edgy, backstreet cultural scene while still hanging on to your creature comforts, then Barcelo Raval is the hotel for you. Situated right in the heart of El Raval, the city's trendiest barrio, but still within a couple of minutes walk of Las Ramblas, the hotel offers the perfect combination of stylish living combined with high-design, panoramic views over the city and neighbouring cafes, art galleries and bars.
The sophisticated design concept of this avant-garde hotel focuses on open spaces and minimalism – whether it's in the shape of pleasing egg-shaped chairs, sleek curved furnishings or plate glass and mirrored finishings. While the open-plan bedrooms offer little in the way of privacy (not ideal if you aren't staying with your significant other) the floor-to-ceiling windows – which offer stunning views across the city – and the king-size beds, 32" flat-screen TVs, iPod loaders and Nespresso coffee makers more than make up for this minor inconvenience.
