There's something gratifying about kindling a flame with the embers of an old crush. It's a vindication of the humiliation endured in that paper shredder of the ego called "high school.â€
I was sitting at a table at the Grape Leaf, having a mini-reunion with two women from my graduating class. One of them looked good. She was a JAG attorney with wickedly long legs, framed by tight shorts and a pair of peep-toe sandals. Her friend, Frumpy Jane, looked just like she did in 1988 (albeit with a better haircut).
I remember Sexy Lawyer Lady as a rebellious teen with a Motley Crue haircut in tight pink spandex, defiantly puffing a Marlboro on the smoking patio with the outcasts. I thought she was hot, in an acid-washed denim kind of way, but I was an awkward pudgy teen desperately clinging to the coattails of the "popular†crowd.
There are two groups of people from high school. Those that were popular – and all the rest.
The people that were attractive were popular. The ones who weren't, weren't. Let's face it; high school isn't exactly a high-level social structure. Looks are all you have to go on. You haven't had time to accomplish anything else.
Twenty years later, all of the ugly, fat, or awkward people in high school have filled out, slimmed down, and learned how to complement their features from watching Makeover Reality shows and Dr. Phil.
Thankfully, most of the popular people from high school are now fat, bald or disgusting. They still see themselves as that same attractive person, no matter how gross they've become, because they hit their high note in those formative years. The rest of us still look in the mirror with disgust because we can hear Jerry Cronwald mocking our fat rolls in the locker room. Thanks to that ruthless motivation I've been able to keep slim since college. Jerry, on the other hand, looks like he's been living on doughnuts and bourbon since 1998. C'est la vie.
Sexy Lawyer Lady had connected with me on Facebook and asked me out to the Grape Leaf for dinner with herself and Frumpy Jane, as a kind of "pre-reunion†reunion. The actual event was two weeks away.
We caught up on classmates and gossip. Moving back to Louisville after being gone for 14 years left a pretty big gap in my social life – most people I once knew had completely different lives.
The ladies suggested we take the party somewhere more exciting. We headed down to Glassworks to see a show up on the top of the city, looking out at the city lights and watching the moon rising over the Humana Building. The bands were terrible, so we quickly zoomed off to the Z-Bar.
As we packed in the dance floor Sexy Lawyer Lady got close and personal, using her long legs to her advantage. I was a little giddy – somebody who had never paid me a nanosecond of attention in high school was now making up for it in a very direct way.
I've never gotten used to Louisville's 4 a.m. closing time – it took four more Tanqueray and Red Bulls to keep my stamina up until the wee hours of the night, when the three of us took a cab back to her house.
Just like in high school, the unattractive girl passed out on the couch as the other couple stumbled up the stairs into bed. Not even drunken exhaustion could keep me from channeling that adolescent angst as I consummated a twenty-year old crush.
But in the aftermath of nostalgia, was there anything left?
Not really.
You can't forge a relationship based on vindication of the ego. It doesn't serve anyone. We never had a second date. She didn't even show up to the actual reunion.
There was no real connection – more time has passed between 1991 and now than I had been alive when I graduated. Those awkward teenagers have been replaced by adults, with an entirely different set of needs and desires.
We should create relationships based on mutual interest or romance, and not who sat next to us in homeroom twenty years ago. There is a temptation, as we get older, to search for the familiar.
But in our search for the comfort of familiarity, we may find that it was never very familiar in the first place.
High school is over. You have to leave it behind at some point.
Why let four years of your life define the next forty?

LITTLE ROCK — Days before the BCS standings are released for the first time, the number of teams with a clear path to the national title game is down to a half-dozen or so.
Gone from the picture are Stanford, Michigan, Oklahoma, and Georgia, all whacked on a wild weekend that turns up the attention on the Atlantic Coast Conference face-off between Clemson and Florida State on Saturday. The Tigers and Seminoles are Nos. 3 and 5 in this week's AP poll and the winner will be no worse than fourth when the BCS rankings are revealed Sunday.
At ACC headquarters in Greensboro, N.C., folks had to be smiling over the victories by Utah, Penn State, Texas, and Missouri that positioned the Florida State-Clemson winner to be the first ACC team in the championship game in more than a decade. Plus, waiting in the wings is Miami, giving the ACC and the SEC the same number of teams in the Top 10.
The team that prevails at Clemson can add bonus points deeper in the regular season — Florida State by beating Miami and Florida, and Clemson by defeating South Carolina.
Florida State and Clemson are each 12-1 to win in Pasadena on Jan. 6, according to Bovada.lv. Miami is 25-1.
Other teams that can win out and make an argument for a spot in the title game include the obvious — Alabama, Oregon, and Ohio State — and a couple of less obvious from the Southeastern Conference.
On the second list is once-beaten LSU, already victorious over Florida, with a trip to Tuscaloosa on Nov. 9. The Tigers could be forgiven for the 44-41 loss to Georgia if they beat 'Bama and the Eastern Division champion.
The other SEC possibility is the team that trounced Arkansas 52-7 in Fayetteville. South Carolina lost to Georgia in early September, but an 11-1 record would include victories over unbeaten Missouri, Florida, and unbeaten Clemson. If the Gamecocks, who have found a running back in Mike Davis to complement quarterback Connor Shaw, finish with 10 Ws in a row and defeat Alabama or LSU in Atlanta, it would be difficult to deny Steve Spurrier's team in light of the SEC's success the past seven years.
As good as Florida was against Arkansas, the Gamecocks looked like a more complete team. Maybe that perception goes to the fact that the Razorbacks offered no resistance in the second half when they made only three first downs.
At 100-1 in the latest odds, South Carolina offers value. So does LSU at 14-1 although there is a danger in reading too much into the Tigers' defensive performance vs. Florida. The Gators' offense is not on par with the one that Alabama will employ on Saturday against Arkansas.
At less than 2-1, Alabama offers no value. Ditto Oregon, at barely 2-1. The third choice is Ohio State at 6-1. Those three teams have the easiest road to perfect although Oregon has UCLA (5-0), Stanford (5-1) and Utah (4-2 ) during a 20-day period.
The preseason prognostication that Alabama's schedule consisted of Texas A&M in September and LSU in November remains accurate although Auburn has done enough to be perceived as a threat. Same for the idea that Ohio State's challenges were Northwestern and Michigan with Penn State advancing to the role of potential spoiler.
Yes, I am aware that Missouri, Baylor, and Louisville are unbeaten. Quarterback James Franklin's season-ending injury removes Missouri from the title talk. Baylor will not score 70 each time out against Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, and Texas who are a combined 19-4. Because of the company it keeps, Louisville will get no respect even at 12-0.
More than two unbeaten league champions is likely, fodder for a fitting send-off of the BCS. Next year, chairman Jeff Long and his College Football Playoff committee would welcome four unbeatens.

Asterix or The Adventures of Asterix (French: Astérix or Astérix le Gaulois, IPA: [asteʁiks lə ɡolwa]) is a series of French comics. The series first appeared in the Franco-Belgian comics magazine Pilote on 29 October 1959. It was written by René Goscinny and illustrated by Albert Uderzo until the death of Goscinny in 1977. Uderzo then took over the writing until 2009, when he sold the rights to publishing company Hachette. As of 2015, 36 volumes have been released.
The series follows the exploits of a village of indomitable Gauls as they resist Roman occupation. They do so by means of a magic potion, brewed by their druid called Getafix in the English translations, which gives the recipient superhuman strength. The protagonist, the titular character Asterix, along with his friend Obelix have various adventures. The "ix" ending of both names (as well as all the other pseudo-Gaulish "ix" names in the series) alludes to the "rix" suffix (meaning "king") present in the names of many real Gaulish chieftains such as Vercingetorix, Orgetorix, and Dumnorix. (See below for further explanations of the character names.) Many of the stories have them travel to foreign countries, though others are set in and around their village. For much of the history of the series (Volumes 4 through 29), settings in Gaul and abroad alternated, with even-numbered volumes set abroad and odd-numbered volumes set in Gaul, mostly in the village.
The Asterix series is one of the most popular Franco-Belgian comics in the world, with the series being translated into over 100 languages, and it is popular in most European countries.[1]
The success of the series has led to the adaptation of several books into 13 films: nine animated, and four live action. There have also been a number of games based on the characters, and a theme park near Paris, Parc Astérix. To date, 325 million copies of 34 Asterix books have been sold worldwide, making co-creators René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo France's bestselling authors abroad.[2][3]
Prior to creating the Asterix series, Goscinny and Uderzo had previously had success with their series Oumpah-pah, which was published in Tintin magazine.[5]
Astérix was originally serialised in Pilote magazine, in the very first issue published on 29 October 1959.[6] In 1961 the first book was put together, titled Asterix the Gaul. From then on, books were released generally on a yearly basis. Their success was exponential; the first book sold 6,000 copies in its year of publication; a year later, the second sold 20,000. In 1963, the third sold 40,000; the fourth, released in 1964, sold 150,000. A year later, the fifth sold 300,000; 1966's Asterix and the Big Fight sold 400,000 upon initial publication. The ninth Asterix volume, when first released in 1967, sold 1.2 million copies in two days.
Uderzo's first sketches portrayed Asterix as a huge and strong traditional Gaulish warrior. But Goscinny had a different picture in his mind. He visualized Asterix as a shrewd small sized warrior who would prefer intelligence over strength. However, Uderzo felt that the small sized hero needed a strong but dim companion to which Goscinny agreed. Hence, Obelix was born.[7] Despite the growing popularity of Asterix with the readers, the financial backing for Pilote ceased. Pilote was taken over by Georges Dargaud.[7]
When Goscinny died in 1977, Uderzo continued the series alone on the demand of the readers who implored him to continue. He continued the series but on a less frequent basis. Most critics and fans of the series prefer Goscinny's albums.[8] Uderzo created his own publishing company, Les Editions Albert-René, which published every album drawn and written by Uderzo alone since then.[7] However, Dargaud, the initial publisher of the series, kept the publishing rights on the 24 first albums made by both Uderzo and Goscinny. In 1990, the Uderzo and Goscinny families decided to sue Dargaud to take over the rights. In 1998, after a long trial, Dargaud lost the rights to publish and sell the albums. Uderzo decided to sell these rights to Hachette instead of Albert-René, but the publishing rights on new albums were still owned by Albert Uderzo (40%), Sylvie Uderzo (20%) and Anne Goscinny (40%).
Although Uderzo declared he did not want anyone to continue the series after his death, which is similar to the request Hergé made regarding his The Adventures of Tintin, his attitude changed and in December 2008 he sold his stake to Hachette, which took over the company and now owns the rights.[citation needed]
In a letter published in the French newspaper Le Monde in 2009, Uderzo's daughter, Sylvie, attacked her father's decision to sell the family publishing firm and the rights to produce new Astérix adventures after his death. She said "...the co-creator of Astérix, France's comic strip hero, has betrayed the Gaulish warrior to the modern-day Romans – the men of industry and finance".[9][10] However, René Goscinny's daughter Anne also gave her agreement to the continuation of the series and sold her rights at the same time. She is reported to have said that "Asterix has already had two lives: one during my father's lifetime and one after it. Why not a third?".[11] A few months later, Uderzo appointed three illustrators, who had been his assistants for many years, to continue the series.[8] In 2011, Uderzo announced that a new Asterix album was due out in 2013, with Jean-Yves Ferri writing the story and Frédéric Mébarki drawing it.[12] A year later, in 2012, the publisher Albert-René announced that Frédéric Mébarki had withdrawn from drawing the new album, due to the pressure he felt in following in the steps of Uderzo. Comic artist Didier Conrad was officially announced to take over drawing duties from Mébarki, with the due date of the new album in 2013 unchanged.[13][14]
In January 2015, after the murders of seven cartoonists at the satirical Paris weekly Charlie Hebdo, presumably for their controversial work, Astérix creator Albert Uderzo came out of retirement to draw two Astérix pictures honoring the memories of the victims.

Asterix Conquers Rome is a comics adaptation of the animated film The Twelve Tasks of Asterix. It was released in 1976, and was the 23rd volume to be published, but it has been rarely reprinted and is not considered to be canonical to the series. The only English translations ever to be published were in the Asterix Annual 1980 and as a standalone volume in 1984.
In 2007, Les Editions Albert René released a tribute volume titled Astérix et ses Amis, a 60-page volume of one-to-four-page short stories. It was a tribute to Albert Uderzo on his 80th birthday by 34 European cartoonists. The volume was translated into nine languages. As of 2010[update], it has not been translated into English.[17]
Synopsis and characters
The main setting for the series is an unnamed coastal village (rumoured to be inspired by Erquy) in Armorica (present-day Brittany), a province of Gaul (modern France), in the year 50 BC. Julius Caesar has conquered nearly all of Gaul for the Roman Republic. The little Armorican village, however, has held out because the villagers can gain temporary superhuman strength by drinking a magic potion brewed by the local village druid, Getafix. His chief is Vitalstatistix.
The main protagonist and hero of the village is Asterix, who, because of his shrewdness, is usually entrusted with the most important affairs of the village. He is aided in his adventures by his rather fat and slower thinking friend, Obelix, who, because he fell into the druid's cauldron of the potion as a baby, has permanent superhuman strength (because of this, Getafix steadily refuses to allow Obelix to drink the potion, as doing so would have a dangerous and unpredictable result). Obelix is usually accompanied by Dogmatix, his little dog. (Except for Asterix and Obelix, the names of the characters change with the language. For example, Obelix's dog's name is "Dogmatix" in English, but "Idéfix" in the original French edition.)
Asterix and Obelix (and sometimes other members of the village) go on various adventures both within the village and in far away lands. Places visited in the series include parts of Gaul (Lutetia, Corsica etc.), neighbouring nations (Belgium, Spain, Britain, Germany etc.), and far away lands (North America, Middle East, India etc.).
The series employs science-fiction and fantasy elements in the more recent books; for instance, the use of extraterrestrials in Asterix and the Falling Sky and the city of Atlantis in Asterix and Obelix All at Sea.
The humour encountered in the Asterix comics is often centering on puns, caricatures, and tongue-in-cheek stereotypes of contemporary European nations and French regions. Much of the humour in the initial Asterix books was French-specific, which delayed the translation of the books into other languages for fear of losing the jokes and the spirit of the story. Some translations have actually added local humour: In the Italian translation, the Roman legionaries are made to speak in 20th century Roman dialect and Obelix's famous "Ils sont fous ces romains" ("These Romans are crazy") is translated as "Sono pazzi questi romani", alluding to the Roman abbreviation SPQR. In another example: Hiccups are written onomatopoeically in French as "hips", but in English as "hic", allowing Roman legionaries in at least one of the English translations to decline their hiccups in Latin ("hic, haec, hoc"). The newer albums share a more universal humour, both written and visual.[18]
In spite of (or perhaps because of) this stereotyping, and notwithstanding some alleged streaks of French chauvinism, the humour has been very well received by European and Francophone cultures around the world.[citation needed]
Character names
All the fictional characters in Asterix have names which are puns on their roles or personalities and which follow certain patterns specific to nationality. Certain rules are followed (most of the time) such as Gauls (and their neighbours) having an '-ix' suffix for the males and ending in '-a' for the females, for example, Chief Vitalstatistix (so called due to his portly stature) and his wife Impedimenta (often at odds with the chief). The male Roman names end in '-us', echoing Latin nominitive male singular form, as in Gluteus Maximus, a muscle-bound athlete whose name is literally the butt of the joke. Gothic names (present-day Germany) end in "-ic", after Gothic chiefs such as Alaric and Theoderic, for example Rhetoric the interpreter. Greek names end in "-os" or "-es"; for example, Thermos the restaurateur. British names end in "-ax" and are often puns on the taxation associated with the later United Kingdom, such as Valuaddedtax the druid and Selectivemploymentax the mercenary. Other nationalities are treated to Pidgin translations from their language, like Huevos y Bacon, a Spanish chieftain (whose name, meaning eggs and bacon, is often guidebook Spanish for tourists) or literary and other popular media references, like Dubbelosix (a reference to James Bond's codename 007).
Most of these jokes, and hence the names of the characters, are specific to the translation, for example, the druid Getafix is Panoramix in the original French and Miraculix in German.[19] Even so, occasionally the wordplay has been preserved: Obelix's dog, known in the original French as Idéfix (from idée fixe, a "fixed idea" or obsession), is called Dogmatix in English, which not only renders the original meaning strikingly closely ("dogmatic") but in fact adds another layer of wordplay with the syllable "Dog-" at the beginning of the name.
The name Asterix, French Astérix, comes from astérisque, meaning "asterisk", which is the typographical symbol * indicating a footnote, from the Greek word αστήρ (aster), meaning a "star"). His name is usually left unchanged in translations, aside from accents and the use of local alphabets. For example, in Esperanto, Polish, Slovene, Latvian, and Turkish it is Asteriks (in Turkish he was first named Bücür meaning "shorty", but the name was then changed). Two exceptions include Icelandic, in which he is known as Ástríkur ("Rich of love") and Sinhalese, where he is known as සූර පප්පා (Soora Pappa), which can be interpreted as "Hero".
For explanations of some of the other names, see List of Asterix characters.
Ethnic Stereotypes
Many of the Asterix adventures take place in other countries aside from their homeland, Gaul. In every album that takes place abroad they meet (usually modern-day) stereotypes for each country as seen by the French.
- Goths are disciplined and militarists, they are composed of many races that fight each other (which is a reference to Germany before Otto von Bismarck) and they wear Pickelhaube helmet of World War I.
- Helvetians (Swiss) are neutral, obsessed with cleaning, accurate time-keeping and banks.
- The British are phlegmatic and speak with early 20th century aristocratic slang (like Bertie Wooster). They stop for Tea every day (making do with hot water and a drop of milk until Asterix brings them actual tea leaves), drink lukewarm beer (Bitter) and eat tasteless foods with mint sauce (Rosbif).
- Corsicans are irritable patriots who have vendettas against each other and always take their siesta.
- Greeks eat gyro, drink retsina and always have a cousin for the right job.
- Normans (Vikings) drink endlessly, they don't know what fear is (which they're trying to discover) and in their country night remains for 6 months.
- Belgians have a weird accent and snub the Gauls.
The various volumes have been translated into more than 100 languages and dialects. Besides the original French language, most albums are available in Estonian, English, Czech, Dutch, German, Galician, Danish, Icelandic, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, Spanish, Catalan, Basque, Portuguese, Italian, modern Greek, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Turkish, Slovene, Bulgarian, Serbian, Croatian, Latvian, Welsh[20] as well as Latin.[21]
Some albums have also been translated into languages such as Esperanto, Scottish Gaelic, Indonesian, Persian, Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, Bengali, Afrikaans, Arabic, Hindi, Hebrew, Frisian, Romansch, Vietnamese, Sinhalese and Ancient Greek.[20]
In France, Finland, and especially in Germany, several volumes were translated into a variety of regional languages and dialects, such as Alsatian, Breton, Chtimi (Picard) and Corsican in France, Bavarian, Swabian and Low German in Germany, and Savo, Karelia, Rauma and Helsinki slang dialects in Finland. Also, in Portugal, a special edition of the first volume, Asterix the Gaul, was translated into local language Mirandese.[22] In Greece, a number of volumes have appeared in the Cretan Greek, Cypriot Greek and Pontic Greek dialects.[23] In the Italian version, while the Gauls speak standard Italian, the legionaries speak in the Romanesque dialect. In former Yugoslavia, "Forum" publishing house translated Corsican in "Asterix in Corsica" into Montenegrin dialect of Serbo-Croatian (today called Montenegrin language).
In the Netherlands several volumes were translated into Frisian, a language related to English spoken in the province of Friesland. Also in the Netherlands two volumes were translated into Limburgish, a regional language spoken not only in Dutch Limburg but also in Belgian Limburg and North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Hungarian-language books have been issued in Yugoslavia for the Hungarian minority living in Serbia. Although not a fully autonomous dialect, it slightly differs from the language of the books issued in Hungary. In Sri Lanka, the cartoon series was adapted into Sinhala (Singhalese) as Sura Pappa, the only Sri Lankan translation of a foreign cartoon that managed to keep the spirit of the original series intact.[22]
Most volumes have been translated into Latin and Ancient Greek with accompanying teachers' guides as a way of teaching these ancient languages.
English translation
The translation of the books into English has been done by Derek Hockridge and Anthea Bell, and their English language rendition has been widely praised for maintaining the spirit and humour of the original French version.
The series has been adapted into various media.

Influence in popular culture
- The first French satellite, which was launched in 1965, was named Astérix-1 in honour of Asterix. Asteroids 29401 Asterix and 29402 Obelix were also named in honour of the characters. Coincidentally, the word Asterix/Asterisk originates from the Greek for Little Star.

- In the episode "Goodnight Mr. Bean", Mr. Bean and Teddy are reading an Asterix comic book.
- Obelix is referenced in The King Blues' 2008 single "My Boulder". The song features the lyrics, "If I'm Obelix, you are my boulder".

02. Be Healthy[edit]
Niko won't heal himself, so if you take damage during a mission, that damage will stay with you indefinitely until you do something about. The easiest way to cure what ails Niko is to feed him something. Find a hotdog vendor on the streets, or head to a fast food joint or a restaurant. At these places, you can find various foods that will heal Niko. By following a regimen of eating regularly, you'll allow Niko to stay at his healthiest for the duration of the game.
03. Use Armor[edit]
Armor allows you to effectively double the amount of damage you can take from firearms. And since damage in the game will be mostly dealt with firearms, it's incredibly important that you wear armor when it becomes available to you. You can buy it for a pretty penny at some shady establishments throughout Liberty City, but you're better off finding it at random locations in the city and revisiting those locales as you need to re-up on spent armor.
04. Stay Strapped[edit]
Staying equipped with weapons at all times will increase your likelihood of survival tenfold. It's important to try to have a variety of weapons at your disposal, too, so you can approach situations from various angles. For instance, having a baseball bat, pistol, uzi and shotgun will allow you to kill enemies in all sorts of useful ways, from the monotony of a melee attack to the pleasure of a multiple-kill shotgun blast. Remember that if you're arrested, you'll lose your weapons, but they're easy enough to replace. You can use earned cash to buy them, or better yet, collect weapons from downed enemies.
05. Nurture Your Relationships[edit]
Building relationships in GTAIV is an integral part of the game. Without properly building relationships with the people you meet, you're missing a huge part of the game. Be sure to take up your friends' requests to hang out with them, and try to cater to what they like to increase their fondness of you. You should also reciprocate with calls of your own to hang out. As far as women are concerned, you should definitely pay attention to your relationships with them, but be responsible! There's nothing a woman dislikes more than an overly-aggressive man. Well... most of them, anyway.
06. Explore![edit]
Liberty City might not be as vast as San Andreas, but there's a lot more to see, believe it or not. There are few areas of Liberty City, if any, that are empty. There's something happening everywhere, and there's a lot to see. Take the time to explore the various boroughs and find out what they have to offer you. Not everything is immediately available, of course, but enough is from the beginning that you'll find things worth seeing if you take the time to look.
07. The Cops Are the Enemy[edit]
Remember -- you're playing as a hardened criminal, not a law-abiding citizen. You do anything wrong and a cop sees it, and you're gonna be in trouble. GTA games are notoriously fun when you have it out with the cops, but don't get out of control, especially when you're in a mission or you haven't saved in a while. You can kill whoever you want and do whatever you want as long as it's not excessive and not in front of a cop. You break either of those rules, and you're in for a chase of varying degrees. Remember that it's better to be killed than to be arrested. Being killed will make you lose cash, but you'll retain your arsenal. If you're arrested, you'll lose your weapons... and your pride.
08. Save Often[edit]
Whether or not you have auto save enabled or not, you should still manually save often by visiting your safe house from time to time. Auto save is a great feature, but don't trust it. Before you shut off your game after a lengthy session, be sure to do a "hard" save before shutting your game off. It's better to be safe than sorry.
09. Mini-Game Madness[edit]
There are numerous mini-games in GTAIV that should be explored. In fact, many of them, such as bowling and darts, are introduced to you as part of the relationship mechanic of the game, and are great places to bring friends and dates alike. But they're also just fun to play. Take the time to stop by the pub and chuck some darts, or go to Memory Lanes and bowl some frames. As with all GTA titles, it's the stuff that's not mandatory that gives the game its depth and replay value.
10. Make Cash[edit]
Finally, we'll leave you with this pearl of wisdom. Money isn't exactly hard to come by, but there's not millions of dollars just lying around and waiting to be picked up. If you need cash, there are two great ways to make it. The first is to do jobs for your friends, such as doing cab rides for Roman or delivering drugs for Little Jacob. The second, more annoying and difficult way to collect money is to kill citizens on the streets. The amount of money they carry is random (if they're carrying any at all), and this is a great way to draw unwanted attention to yourself, but hey... desperate times call for desperate measures.
However, if you kill a bunch of citizens while you are near your house, when the cops notice you, you can run back inside your house and save in the bed, and when you wake up, the cops will be gone.

Man faces murder charges in death of ex-wife
Amy Warf found dead at N.H. concrete plant
A New Hampshire man charged with killing his ex-wife is being held without bail.
Prosecutors have charged 36-year-old Aaron Desjardins of Epping with first-degree murder in the death of Amanda "Amy" Warf, whose body was found in a vacant concrete plant last week. Her neck artery was severed.
Uncut video: Desjardins arrested by police at gunpoint
The shackled Desjardins was arraigned in a brief court appearance in Seabrook on Wednesday.
Police searched Desjardins's house over the weekend and he told the media he had nothing to do with his ex-wife's death.
The couple divorced in February 2012. They have a 1-year-old son.
Warf's body was discovered by Exeter firefighters after they put out a fire Thursday morning at the concrete plant, which has been vacant for more than 20 years.

Wigan captain Gary Caldwell has stressed to the club's fans that he and his team-mates are working hard on their warm weather training camp.
The Latics - currently second-bottom of the Barclays Premier League, three points adrift of safety with 12 games to go - are in Tenerife this week and pictures have been posted on Twitter of squad members lying by the pool.
Regarding those images, defender Caldwell has issued a statement on behalf of Wigan's players on the club's official website, saying: "Like many other teams at this time of year, we have travelled abroad to undergo a warm weather training camp.
"We are training twice a day in the heat and the squad is really being put through its paces, more so than we probably could have done at home, judging by the temperatures back there.
"Some of the long-term injured boys have travelled with us too and there is a fantastic spirit of togetherness in the camp when we go away on trips like this, the sort of spirit that got us through last season and will help this one too.
"We've been on similar trips before to Oman and La Manga and it's always worked for us.
"Obviously, you need your downtime, but we realise that one or two pictures of players lying by the pool that appeared on Twitter may have came across as disrespectful to our supporters, and so we have decided ourselves as a group to take them down to avoid confusion.
"I can assure each and every one of our fans that the players are totally committed and focused on the fight to keep our club in the Barclays Premier League.
"The fans have been different class all season, as they have been since I came to Wigan.
"We are all fighting together, fans and players, for the good of our club and I'm sure we will continue sticking together in the crucial weeks and months ahead."

The City Commission was not swayed Monday night by arguments that its ordinance on pit bulls and other "dangerous" dog breeds is ineffective and
even counterproductive.
The ordinance, which was passed several years ago, effectively bans breeds that are or once were bred for fighting and guarding. Dogs that have been crossed with wolves are also regulated.
But breed-specific legislation doesn't achieve its aims, said Jenna Lewis, who works at the office of Pratt veterinarian Dr. Clinton Skaggs.
"Putting a ban on a breed is not effective, as (Police Chief ) Gary Myers
can attest," Lewis said. "People just hide them. It turns responsible pet owners into criminals."
Pet ordinances with teeth are necessary, she acknowledged, but such ordinances should focus on owners who don't properly train and control their pets. Stiff penalties should be put in place for owners whose dogs are proven dangerous. Blanket sanctions for particular breeds are unwarranted.
The Commissioners disagreed.
Commissioner Jeff Taylor said his son has an Australian shepherd cross that regularly tries to herd the family's other dogs by nipping at their heels. Such
behavior is proof that breed tendencies do matter, he said.
"Pit bulls are bred to be fighters," Taylor said. "Otherwise you wouldn't have cities all across the United States passing ordinance to control these breeds."
Mayor Bill Hlavachick, a former wildlife conservation officer, cited his own experience with wolf hybrids.
Without breed-specific regulation, Pratt would probably have to require mandatory registration for all dogs, Commissioner Lucus Kumberg said.
In other business, the Commission:
• Approved more than $300,000 in upgrades to the city's power grid to accommodate Pratt Regional Medical Center's expansion and renovation.
Each of the commissioners — with the exception of Kumberg, who works for the hospital and excused himself from the debate and the vote — took turns expressing their disappointment with PRMC for not alerting the city to their needs sooner and for not including the cost in the bond issue passed by voters in August.
Hospital representatives countered that while the broad strokes of the project
were known before the vote, more detailed planning only came about after the public gave its OK to proceed.
The upgrades will leave the city with little cushion in the reserve fund for such projects.
• Approved the purchase of a sewer pipe camera from Key Equipment for $62,890.
• Tabled an appointment to the Pratt Area Economic Development Corp. board.

Currently featured are two common agents of bacteria illness. Other bacteria and agents of disease will be featured in the future.
The bacteria E. coli 0157:H7 lives in the intestinal tracts of mammals and man. It can be transmitted from animal to animal, animal to man in food, and from person to person through close contact or food. E. coli 0157 can survive refrigeration and freezer storage. If present, it can multiply slowly even at 44°F. Thorough cooking of food to an internal temperature of 155°F for at least 15 seconds is a safeguard against infection.
Undercooked hamburger and roast beef, raw milk, improperly processed cider, contaminated water, and vegetables have caused fatal outbreaks in this country over the last 10 years.
The samonella bacterium includes many strains of bacteria, but only 10 strains cause most of the reported salmonella infections. The bacteria are common in the intestinal tracts and waste of livestock, poultry, dogs, cats, rats, and other warm-blood animals.
Salmonellosis is the illness that can occur if the salmonella bacteria enters the body; usually through improperly cooked or uncooked food that we eat. Chicken, turkey, pork, beef, eggs, raw milk, and even raw fruits and vegetables such as sprouts and melons may carry salmonella bacteria. The strain that is associated most frequently with food borne illnesses is the strain found in poultry.


text: The former South High School teacher accused of "sexting" and kissing a teenage boy was placed on paid administrative leave almost two weeks before she resigned her position, The Pueblo Chieftain learned Thursday. Larisa Oringdulph, who taught language arts and instrumental music, was placed on paid leave Oct. 28, three days after the district was notified by police it had concluded an investigation into complaints against Oringdulph made by a South parent. A letter from Paula Chostner, Pueblo City Schools (D60) director of human resources, to Oringdulph dated Oct. 28 stated that Oringdulph was being placed on administrative leave so school administrators could complete the investigation of the allegations against her. That information was released only after The Pueblo Chieftain's attorney compelled the district to make the letter public by making a formal Colorado Open Records Act demand. Oringdulph was on paid leave from Oct. 28 through Nov. 7, at which time she resigned for personal reasons, according to district records. A police investigation was prompted after a parent contacted officers on Oct. 1 about her concerns with Oringdulph having an inappropriate relationship with her son after the mother found some text messages from her on his cellphone. The mother told police she had earlier spoken with South Principal Aaron Bravo about her concerns and he told her he would start an investigation. District officials refuse to comment on the investigation into complaints against Oringdulph or when that investigation occurred. Oringdulph told police she had gotten into "trouble" in September with an assistant principal after a parent found text messages from Oringdulph on the boy's cellphone. Police reports indicate their investigation into the allegations began on Oct. 1 and concluded Oct. 24. On Oct. 25, police notified South that there was no criminal wrongdoing and that they considered the case closed. Oringdulph admitted to police to kissing a student and sending sexual text messages to a student but denied sending any photos of herself. Police did find semi-nude pictures of Oringdulph on at least two students' cellphones. Oringdulph said she was sending the photos to her personal trainer and accidentally sent them to an unknown number. email@example.com

BioShock 2 SE Unboxing Video Packs Surprises
Of course, this being BioShock, there is naturally a twist you weren't anticipating until someone told you about it--much as I am doing now. Watch out for the twist, you guys!
As we now know what's in the SE, the workings of multiplayer matchmaking and why there are no dedicated servers, the PC system requirements and its scaled-back DRM, all that remains is to wait for it to arrive for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on February 9. And to watch for the launch trailer on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon tonight, apparently?

Most people try not to associate themselves with bad breath, let alone the smells of purifying flesh. But that doesn't deny the fact that your body naturally contains the same chemical underlying both of these smells—and in the future, people may even pay good money for that chemical, as new research shows that it helps (amphibian) victims of epileptic seizures.
The chemical is called putrescine (1,4 diaminobutane), a malodorous organic compound within the polyamine family—a group of molecules already known to play a crucial role in important functions like cell division. In large doses, it is quite toxic, and scientists weren't so sure why this rotten-smelling compound shows up in the brains of seizure-stricken patients. Until now.

Just two days after she returned home, actress Zsa Zsa Gabor was taken back to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center today after developing complications during her recovery from hip-replacement surgery, according to her publicist.
John Blanchette said he had no details about what type of complications Gabor may have developed. He said he was informed shortly after 1 p.m. by Gabor's husband, Frederic Prinz von Anhalt, that an ambulance had been summoned to take her to the emergency room at UCLA.
Gabor, 93, had just returned by ambulance to her Bel Air home Wednesday.
Gabor fell at her home while reaching to answer a telephone July 17. She underwent hip-replacement surgery two days later.
Francesca Hilton, Gabor's daughter, also had no details about the actress' return to the hospital, according to her publicist, Edward Lozzi.
"She's extremely upset about this and is trying to race over to the hospital," Lozzie said.
Lozzi said Hilton was also upset that word about her mother's condition was released to the media before an ambulance had even arrived at Gabor's home.
Zsa Zsa is the last of the three Gabor sisters, all of whom had careers in show business. Magda, who was the eldest, died in 1997 at age 82. Eva, who starred in the 1960s CBS sitcom "Green Acres," died in 1995 at age 76.

Sometimes life throws you a few curve balls. In case you've been wondering if Tattered Style fell off the face of the planet, I didn't and I've missed being here. I"m getting back in the swing of things and as I promised in my previous post ~ I'm putting up additional pics of Reagan's living room.
The cool art and vintage chair belong to Reagan's roommate, Chris. While many of the other furnishings were in Reagan's previous apartment. Read more about them here.
One of the primary requests for the living room was for it to be edited and clutter free. I think we achieved our goal.
Additionally, the breakfast area was converted into an extra sitting/living area. Bar stools at the counter and a table and chairs on the patio meet dining needs. The best seat in the house is pictured below ~ it's an old vibrating massage chair that still works!
I'm happy to share that Reagan and Chris are quite pleased with their new mid-century styled living room. And in case you are interested, there's a plethora of mid-century modern treasures to be found. Patience in locating the right piece for the right price is all that is required. As proven above ~ a good number of the furnishings were found at wonderful vintage stores.
I hope today you are gearing up for a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend.
XO ~ Dana

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- More snow is ahead on Wednesday for residents of northern New England, a day after a fast-moving storm brought about a foot to many communities, but rain and warmer temperatures could present new problems for other states.
A rain and snow mixture is possible Wednesday afternoon along the northern New England coast, but inland communities could see between 1 and 4 inches of snow, said Eric Schwibs, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine.
That won't be nearly as much as the snow from Tuesday's storm, which packed an unexpected wallop. Forecasts originally called for 4 to 7 inches in the heaviest hit, southern part of New Hampshire, but data collected by the National Weather Service show totals of 15.5 inches in Chichester, 14 inches in Rochester and 12.2 in Concord. Nearly 10 inches fell in Kennebunk, Maine. There were no reports of any major traffic problems caused by the weather.
Elsewhere in the country, as warmer temperatures bring rain and melt snow, concerns are being raised about the potential for flooding and collapsing roofs.
In Chicago, the weather service says people who live along rivers and in flood prone areas should prepare for possible flooding as the mounds of snow in yards and along streets melt.
In Ohio, where meteorologists predict a Thursday thunderstorm, there could be up to an inch and a half of rain in parts of the state, causing flooding.
Flooding is not expected to be a concern in New England. Meteorologist Mike Kistner in Gray, Maine, said the warm-up is expected to be short-lived, with another bout of arctic air headed into the area after a few days. It's expected to last well into next week.
The weight of snow on top of buildings in Pennsylvania and Michigan has officials worried after several roofs and awnings have collapsed this winter. One person in southeastern Pennsylvania suffered minor injuries Tuesday when a home's carport caved in, and two women in western Michigan suffered injuries described as non-life-threatening when a roof collapsed Wednesday.
Temperatures above freezing in places where the storm passed through Tuesday should move up to the 40s to mid-50s for the rest of the week, said meteorologist John Cristantello, of the National Weather Service in New York.
In snow-struck northern New England, "Saturday will be a beach day," in the 40s, said Schwibs. "We've lowered our standards."
The latest storm came days after the Southeast and Northeast were paralyzed with heavy snow, ice and massive power outages.
On Monday, several inches of snow fell across the Great Lakes, causing Chicago's two airports to cancel more than 1,000 flights.

Process accounting is a security method in which an administrator may keep track of system resources used and their allocation among users, provide for system monitoring, and minimally track a user's commands.
Process accounting has both positive and negative points. One of the positives is that an intrusion may be narrowed down to the point of entry. A negative is the amount of logs generated by process accounting, and the disk space they may require. This section walks an administrator through the basics of process accounting.
If more fine-grained accounting is needed, refer to Chapter 16, Security Event Auditing.
Before using process accounting, it must be enabled using the following commands:
touch /var/account/acct
chmod 600 /var/account/acct
accton /var/account/acct
sysrc accounting_enable=yes
Once enabled, accounting will begin to track information
such as CPU statistics and executed
commands. All accounting logs are in a non-human readable
format which can be viewed using
sa. If
issued without any options,
sa prints
information relating to the number of per-user calls, the
total elapsed time in minutes, total CPU
and user time in minutes, and the average number of
I/O operations. Refer to sa(8) for
the list of available options which control the output.
To display the commands issued by users, use
lastcomm. For example, this command
prints out all usage of
ls by
trhodes on the
ttyp1 terminal:
lastcomm ls trhodes ttyp1
Many other useful options exist and are explained in lastcomm(1), acct(5), and sa(8).

Mel Gibson Can't Be Blamed for Every Ripped T-Shirt in Hollywood
You thought you'd go your whole day without some belligerent Mel Gibson news? Never! At a nightclub, with his pregnant girlfriend last night, Gibson got into a kerfuffle with a "pushy report". Then a T-shirt got ripped.
It's hard to be a member of the fourth estate when Mel Gibson is involved. A reporter from Life & Style magazine spotted Gibson his and soon-to-be-birther-friend at the Playhouse in Hollywood. The reporter tried to snap a picture. When Gibson's "security team" intervened the reporter sent in her buddy to pose as a camera wielding fan. No dice! The buddy tried several times to get a picture then Gibson allegedly ripped at the guy's T-shirt
The man with the perforated shirt filed battery charges against Gibson this morning. But TMZ reports that the cops think the victim's story is bullshit, "Gibson was wedged in a booth with his pregnant girlfriend and couldn't have grabbed the guy's shirt."
Not to get all judgey on behaviors of others here, but what was a recovering alcoholic like Gibson doing in a night club with a preggers girlfriend? Doesn't he know that's where trouble lurks? Hollywood nightclubs are filled with offensive, unsightly T-shirts that demand tearing. Didn't Gibson know that he would be tempted to strike? I mean, given the proliferation of bedazzled Ed Hardy tees, wouldn't any of us?
Think about it, you guys.

The Engineers will continue league play on Wednesday, April 22 when they host Wheaton College under the lights on Senior Night. Both squads are currently tied for second place in the conference standings as the outcome will be a factor in hosting rights for next week's semifinal game of the Pilgrim Championship Tournament.

All 4 Dust & Dust 4 All
I am sorry for being late to answer
But there were many things that made me late,
Today I will talk about the dust!!
Once my cousin said "from dust to dust Redemption" on the 8th of August 2005 I saw the most dismal weather ever been, I saw the dust every where in Iraq & Baghdad, on the table, on the cars, in the sky, under my bed, in my nose!!!
In Saddam regime's time that day, 8th of August I mean was a holiday cz he pretended that he defeated Iran & return back AL-Faw city in the most south of Basrah. & Saddam used to made a speech that day in every year & he used to talk about the victory Iraq made in that war & also he also used to gave a threatening message to his enemy telling them that he will punish them as he had punished The Persian Regime at that time & he meant USA ! so today when I remember those past days I can't imagine how he was able to talk like that when he is a man without the enough courage face death as defeated leader. U all know Hitler & how Dictator was he, but in my point of view Hitler is braver than Saddam cz he face his fate bravely.
Never mind but at that day, 8th of August 2005, it was a semi-holiday cz the dusty weather wouldn't let the people to go to their work places. For me It was one of the most bad days bcz a lot of Asthmatic-patients died in the hospital bcz respiratory tract collapse cz of dust, we helped many of them but still the oxygen shortage which stand against us that day & the enormous no. of patient too.
To Saddamist, they were happy cz it was a holiday & they said that even though that the new government delete that date from the holidays list but God made it a holiday !! but I couldn't understand that. ( narrow minded isn't they?)& they say also that the troops moving in the desert cz this dusty weather but I say the destruction of the green zone (not the American one :) but the zone of trees that lines Baghdad & seperate it from the desert) led to all this dust, Sorry for that but it seems that we will complain for long time in the next years from this thing until a clever government discover out the right cz & correct it & that is 20 years from now :) & I guess I will be dead in that time from Asphyxia :)
I took many pics on that date in our house, so see by urself
Teacher:Nice way ti start a conversation is to say something about the weather
Student:Dismal weather is not a good thing to start a conversation about!
This is How Our garden look
This is the roof of my car
[if u see both photo Successively, it will become HELP HUMANITY, so even dust want to help humnity, All want but Terrorist :)]
Some people ask me for email, It is in my profile & u can send me on

Photoshop ICO Plugin, How To Open Windows Icon Files In Photoshop
Earlier this afternoon I needed to modify a .ICO, also known as Windows Icon, for some testing I was doing with X-Chat which is a GUI based IRC (Internet Relay Chat) client. Anyhow it slipped my mind that Photoshop does not even recognize ICO files by default. Adding Windows Icon (ICO) support to Photoshop is really easy though and I remembered from a previous experience the process to add a ICO plugin to Photoshop. Follow the directions below to open, edit, and save ICO files on Windows.

Cynthia Short Hurley
Canadian (born in U.S.A.), b. 1949
White Bird Angel, 1985
charcoal on paper
203 x 304 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of the artist
Like her sculptural work, Cynthia Short Hurley's large-scale drawing exhibits traces of her penchant for working in three dimensions. The large, central figure of an angel seems more built up than actually drawn on the paper, and there is an inherent sensitivity to volume and space. With her hands outstretched, this nude female angel reaches out to the semicircle flock of birds that moves fleetingly across the surface of the work. The entire composition evokes a sense of transition as if the angel is standing on the threshold between life and death. Stemming from mythology and allegory, this work references the ancient tradition of human fascination with animals portraying human qualities and humans and deities possessing animal-like traits.

text: I have a friend who managed to compress his HDD, the thing is, he compressed the HDD with his OS on it. Now it won't boot. Every time he tries he gets the screen "NBCQR is compressed press ctrl alt del to restart". Even with a Windows disk in the disk drive with boot priority set to the drive, he still can't get passed that screen. Any idea on what he can do?
