Shameless Excuses for Doomsday 2012 Failure
What do you do when you promise something but fail to deliver. You ask for pardon and humbly take blame and say sorry after admitting you were wrong. But what doomsday expert does when he is proven wrong, he brings more excuses.
I BET YOU WOULD NEVER HEAR A DOOMSDAY EXPERT SAYING SORRY. They never do. They come up with something or the other excuse claiming that they actually saved humanity.
JONATHAN EASLEY wrote a fantastic article in 2011, I would like share that piece here. It is in fact a very good article to read.
Doomsday claims by experts have the problem of accountability. Nobody takes responsibility now. Free speech does not mean you would spread rumors and cash on that.
However a smart doomsday expert would always tell you that he has corrected the calculation mistakes and according to him the new date would be announced soon.
It is very common to read the claims by the experts who say something like this; aliens have said something to him, god told secretly something or some souls whispered something to him only. Or the tall claims that he accidentally discovered a secret which he must tell the world.
Who is responsible for this mess. The publishers are to be blamed first. All leading publishers must not publish anything which is not founded by solid proof. The doomsday claims are not opinions, they are statements of con-man. Publishers like the spicy content which can create sensation and sell in the market. Do they care about public health? No.
Here is a sample of what people think of these jokers aka doomsday experts:
Washington Post Published an article in 2o11 on what sort of excuses Herald Camping can offer. The same applies for yesterday's failure as well.
So, what the doomsday 2012 theme did for the general public. It created panic. It flooded Bugarach with the people who were never supposed to be there. It also created serious problems for parents all over the world.
Were doomsday experts worried because they are creating problems? No they were not. They liked because panic was helping them to sell their books and doomsday supplies.
How about bunker companies; That news was already fake. Did media see them or for that matter did anyone see them. No. They were all on paper. They were never a reality. So nothing lost on that matter.
Where do we go now from here. Wait for next doomsday date. The new smart conman would arrive sooner who would float a new date.

Doomsday Live Blog for Exclusively on Twenty First December 2012, Updated As it Happens on the Road
Live Blog : Doomsday 12-21-2012. The Page will be updated with every news as it happens around the world. It is pretty clear, nothing is going to happen. Doomsday is Hoax. Just watch this page. All updates will have EST – New York Time.
It is now 22nd December at most of the places. It is the new day. Everything failed which was told to us using the doomsday theories. Poor doomsday experts were taken too seriously. The doomsday experts must be the happiest creatures in universe because they are alive. Since they are alive, it is the best proof that their theories were crap. We are yet to read an example of doomsday expert who had sold everything and came to streets to wait for doomsday. That does not happen in capitalist economy. Doomsday experts are part of bigger problem which is known as exploiting the fear to generate the money. Now they stand EXPOSED.
I had kept this blog up since 2009. I have written many entries here and thousands of the readers have been with me for all these years. We come close to when site like this would become irrelevant. Owner of one forum has already decided to shut down the site. This site has been signed up to November 2013. So, it is going to be up for good 11 months from now.
This is the last entry in this live post. Here are two new updates.
The new doomsday dates have been announced:
Some claims that it has been shifted. No need to take it seriously.
And If you love Doomsday Jokes, read this:
Its well said by someone that world just passing through a phase when it would be difficult to distinguish between fake and real. Fake is so real that it looks real. Real is so original that it looks fake. This is the game played by con artists aka doomsday experts.
Here is one Mayan expert speaking on the subject.
Does it mean banks will no longer be greedy?
The 24 hours have passed which were allocated to doomsday event as per the hyped theories. The blame game has started. Will the world take the doomsday experts seriously ever? Well, the acceptance will depend on how much polished crap is. There will be new wave of the experts who will sell their theories under something or the other.
Many people want to know who are the experts of doomsday. Here is that short list for you: http://www.2012hoax.org/ Check in Proponents Section, you will get several names. Yes Patrick Geryl is there.
This is what news papers have reported at the end of the day.
The newspaper Deccan Herald reports no casualty from all over the world. http://www.deccanherald.com/content/299959/mayan-doomsday-sweeps-across-world.html
Mexico welcomes new ERA — http://www.contracostatimes.com/california/ci_22238679/mexicos-maya-heartland-greets-dawn-new-era
I have to go to market for purchasing few things. It may take around 2 hours for me to return. As soon as I come back, the next update will be posted for sure.
There is no way to enter into Bugarach town. Police has sealed it.
NASA has released new video for debunking the claims of doomsday. Here you can read complete story. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2251535/End-world-Nasa-issues-SECOND-YouTube-film-attempting-dispel-rumours-impending-doomsday.html
It is 3PM here at my location. The day is approaching evening. The kids are watching TV and I am on my laptop writing this. Everyone happy around me. Have changed the TV Channels several times, there is no trace of doomsday news. Many readers have reached this website looking for live updates on doomsday around the world. This is the only site where you can find the most current events placed at single resource.
I have been watching the traffic stats, those are not very much encouraging. Last year May 21, 2011 was rather busy time. Anyways, lets continue to see whats new with doomsday related stuff. News and Media sources are still writing the stories which are either neutral or just informative. The latest such is here : http://www.delmarvanow.com/article/20121221/OPINION01/312210004/Will-world-end-today-
CNET has got into the mode which is exploring doomsday gadgets. They discovered ORB. http://asia.cnet.com/preparing-for-the-mayan-apocalypse-62219887.htmThere are no disturbing news from any corner of the world.
Is 18th August 2013 new date for doomsday? One of the readers reached this site using those words. It caught my attention. That date is being promoted as alien invasion may take place that time. If we believe the online reports, there are very few sources which tell you why it is so. This date is not credible and it is coming from most of the people who had not been in doomsday circles in the past. Take it seriously. No, not at all. This is an absurd idea like doomsday itself is.
Checked the Weather Charts and Ice Data at various websites. It is normal there. Also checked the earthquake stats for today. Nothing reported so far. The reports from UK have begun to arrive. The leading news paper publishes the mocking news. It is candid humor. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/mayan-apocalypse-surprise-surprise-its-1499705
Jill Burcum, a Star Tribune editorial writer nails it down correctly. If you still are clueless why doomsday hoax, read her article, it is good and on the line which we had taken from the beginning of time with this blog site.http://www.startribune.com/opinion/commentaries/184351941.html
Indian News Paper Times of India calls it Mania: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/people/Doomsday-mania/articleshow/17703965.cms
Emirates 247 says NASA has come forward and clarified on the issue for next many years. http://www.emirates247.com/news/emirates/mayan-doomsday-2012-nasa-busts-11-apocalypse-myths-for-another-300-billion-years-2012-12-20-1.488132====================================
Mainstream media picked up the first story of the day. Here it is for you: http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2012/12/doomsday_2012_arrives_in_some.html
CNN has posted some running commentary on this phenomena. http://edition.cnn.com/2012/12/20/world/doomsday-coming/index.html Very religious people are advising the masses, not to believe any of the doomsday rumors. http://insidecostarica.com/2012/12/20/cartago-bishop-asks-costa-ricans-not-to-believe-doomsday-predictions-set-for-tomorrow/ Sara Knight joins the talk on why some people have psychology to believe the doomsday. Here you can read what she has to say : http://commonhealth.wbur.org/2012/12/apocalypse-psychology It is certainly a very informative page to read. Indian Astrologers, Tarot Experts and Numerologists say, 21 December 2012 is perfectly a very happy day. They are good people and they have been in the business of prediction for many years. Here is what they told WSJ: http://blogs.wsj.com/indiarealtime/2012/12/20/india-to-mayan-doomsday-types-cheer-up/ AOL Jobs site says, the phenomena can help the people to grow in their career. It is an interesting page http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/12/20/mayan-calendar-if-the-world-is-ending-tomorrow-would-you-still/ Meanwhile, China has cracked on Doomsday Cult. More than 1000 have been arrested for misleading the people. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-20794276 Do you think doomsday experts are waiting for their shame moments? They are like politicians. They will give you another date for sure. Just watch those fat experts speaking except from their head. Don't listen to them.
20-December, 2012 8:10 AM ET :Where I am right now, it is still 20th December here. I traveled on my bike today. I watched sky clearly. If there is anything which makes sense doomsday wise. Sky is very clear. It is winter time here. Wind has chill factor. The traffic on the road is was not very heavy. Just sometimes back, we have switched on TV. It is absolutely normal. No news channel is showing anything related to doomsday. I just went in a forum to see if people are discussing anything about doomsday. There are not many people talking about it. Will be back with more news. Keep watching this page.
Silently Experts in November With No big Doomsday News made no headlines
November has been very silent month for the doomsday and its features. So, there had not been many news pieces arriving from the close quarters. So, what it means. It simply means that public is no more interested in this theme. The public can go on having fun with the hoaxes.
Next month is December when this event is supposed to appear. Like me, there are many people who are pretty sure that it would never come. What we can draw from here. It is the shame time for the theorists who have been shouting from the roof tops. It is certainly the doomsday for their wisdom.
The themes lead no where and it takes to perfect round circle where we see it does not make any sense to be in this theme. What it means for the people who invested. Blame Herald Camping for exhausting the theme prematurely. Part of the blame also goes to movie 2012 because it came too early.
How to read for the people who are still there in Bugarach. Well they need someone to go there and explain the things clearly.
How Chinese people are taking the doomsday news. They are serious and the disturbing news have begun to arrive from there. Nothing is happening in our skies for sure. Be assured that it is still the fine days for us all. You need to believe your wisdom and move on.

May 2012 Doomsday Daily Update for World and its Cities
There are many new pieces which are being reported in various sections of the media this time. May 2012 for doomsday theories has been a very slow month. The internet traffic is slowing down to low numbers. It is getting to a point when keeping doomsday site would be difficult. It is the economics of the sites which is not allowing the doomsday theorists to survive at this time. It is an estimate that doomsday theories will return to mainstream soon after July 2012 this year.
We are going to report the doomsday news daily now. And we would update the pages until December 21, 2012 this year. Beyond that we will see what needs to be done with this site.
31 May 2012
Guardian Express reports that a body of mermaid has been discovered. It may not be related to doomsday at all. There are wide spread doubts whether this news is true. The month of May ends with this update. We will move to June tomorrow.
30 May 2012
Someone named Rocco Leo is again in the news because he has been abandoned by his lawyers. Rocco Leo is considered to be one of the doomsday theorists. Mayan civilization is again in focus but this time for the correction of history and various records.

28 May 2012
There are some stories in new sections arising from Germany advising what to do if doomsday occurs and how to prevent it. Some people are trying to convert the empty shells of Missiles into shelters. That is not very much of great news. Yes, it is different but not useful.
27 May 2012
Wyoming realty sector is seeing the spiked demand of the houses which can withstand the doomsday scenarios. It is good to note that people have become safety conscious due to doomsday theories. Though the news pieces also reports some unpleasant happenings due to doomsday theories. It is good that these things are not reported here. To note a happening here, Jesus did not return as claimed by Paul Begley and this event also proved to be mere speech and words gone waste.
26 May 2012
CNET reports that doomsday proof houses have been sold already.
25 May 2012
Paul Begley is making some waves with the claims of Jesus returning to the world. It is not very huge claim, may be there is some basis behind this. Though, it may not be true but it is certainly interesting. Some local media picked it up. Rest of the world is just ignorant. A big question, Are we ready to receive Jesus if he decides to return? May be Paul Begley has an answer.
24 May 2012
Economic problems arising from Greece are being equated with Doomsday and some experts think that it is a doomsday of finances there. Some experts are pointing the differences between what Mayan Calendar explains and what doomsday theories are. So, there is clear divide among the theories.

Discovery News Network mentioned something about Planet X 2.0. It gets no where for other theories. So, for today, that's what made news.
22 May 2012

21 May 2012
Doomsday is not in the news today as it gets to the core that doomsday clocks are wrong. So, what is correct? Nothing is right as far as doomsday is considered. It does not get straight from here but it gets more over beyond making any sense now. Same day last year, Harold Camping had predicted the end of the world. It did not end because
20 May 2012
Bugarch a French town is again in the news. This time it is in spot light because of rising issues there. You could very well imagine what would happen in town which was not disturbed prior to the hyped doomsday theories. One still fails to understand where it all started.
19 May 2012
Doomsday Superman series may be on the corner to come and of course it would be instant hit among the movie lovers. There are some great news pieces circling around this theme. It makes great reading material for any one who is interested in doomsday themes.
18 May 2012
Some doomsday clocks are running at great speed. The irony is that all of them are false. There is no doomsday and if it is there, then it is not being reported rightly. Everything you heard about doomsday is false. The doomsday news from mainstream media is dying down with each passing day.
17 May 2012
Doomsday Smallville may be a game but it is not relevant what we perceive as doomsday. You may be mistaken to believe many other things which are not even related to the theme. The Mayan may be somewhere in heavens and they must be thinking what they meant in their scriptures and what world is understanding.
16 May 2012
There are many songs which appeared either mentioning doomsday or something about that. Nicki Minaj has a song which features doomsday. There are other singers who have written doomsday lyrics. So, wait for sometime when you would get the full albums featuring doomsday.
15 May 2012
Are there any more movies planned on doomsday? May be some movie productions are taking place. Though we do not hear the news about sequel of 2012 movie, the main movie had some prophecy and some weird cartoons featuring and showing you what happens in Yellowstone Park. In the movie, there was no doomsday device and of course there is no such thing in reality.

Is Doomsday Confirmed? No It is Bad News.
One friend A tells another friend B that he is afraid because he got a bad news. He goes on explaining because he saw a doomsday documentary on TV which had the theme that world is going to end in 2012. Visibly upset friend B asks A to replace the old TV by something like LCD. Friend A jokes, LCD would not turn bad news into good news. This scene was there in the Bollywood movie titled "4084″. It is also true that LCD or LED would not stop the doomsday from occurring if it all so true. But for sure, the advanced TV would certainly give you the clearer picture when you watch doomsday documentaries aired by dubious channels.
4084 or be it something else. The real doomsday has been poured upon the doomsday writers by Harold Camping. The doomsday preppers may be still in the beautiful town Bugarach. The worst part is logics fail to deliver the wisdom. Even the staunch supporters of doomsday theories are on their knees now. It is not doomsday is longer a threat. Who knows doomsday is credible threat and may occur. These are so theories which have no confirmation from anyone. The mainstream media is not either interested or the disinterested. Yes, John Titor still makes news.
So, it does not lead anywhere now. So what is there in the doomsday stuff now. Some TV channels in Nepal are still showing those doomsday programs. People in Nepal may not be believing this crap which is making news and being pushed to them in the name of news and entertainment. Is doomsday worth of entertainment value? This question was relevant some years before.
Doomsday's entertainment value has been exhausted by the movie already. There is nothing there. The public may not be ready for another movie on doomsday of 2012. It is not happening anymore. No big studio would risk investing in doomsday movies now. There is no money in this theme any more.
How media looks at this scenario now. There is deep sense of disappointment among the sections of media. Harold Camping took away everything and electronic media and news publishers are now empty handed. It is a thought that a guy came and he took everyone for a ride including that person who sold his everything to wait for failed doomsday of may 21, 2011.
Doomsday has not been confirmed. Is it a bad news? Yes it is for newspapers and TV channels along with websites which support doomsday. A failed doomsday is certainly a good news for rest of the world which include you and me.

So, Why we are picking up the BorderLands 2 Doomsday for reviewing. Well, because the game looks better than the doomsday theme in real. There are many trailers which are doing rounds on the web. The main game also looks better and the final review would reveal whether the game is successful with sales figures. It takes great efforts to develop such games with heavy budget and manpower to work on such ventures. The trailer which has been posted online goes about 3 minutes of time and as you watch it, there is only one word which describes it all "Wow". So, this game would certainly make your game collection adding to a new level.
BorderLands 2 Doomsday will be a new installment of excitement and fun. The game would be available on various platforms. There are heavy characters with matching gears. You have to survive to fight and live on until the game ends. Such games certainly last very long and keep us busy with the console. The BorderLands 2 is also one of the leading game. The doomsday branding of BorderLands 2 will make it more over one of the best sought after games. There are more controls and of course a new background score. The game loads with great theme and goes to opening scene where you put yourself to readiness for the battle ahead.
BorderLands 2 Doomsday may be released sometime in September 2012. The trailer is doing good right now and it would lead to various other posts which would write about it in some details. The people who have seen this trailer are all praises for the new piece of the game which would put the heavy characters in play once again.
Why this is related to doomsday 2012. There is no apparent relationship except its name. The name of the game suggests that it would en-cash on the doomsday theme. The market is being filled with the things which have doomsday branding for 2012. There are various ways to look at it. BorderLands 2 Doomsday in 2012 would be the game which has doomsday word attached to it. The survival tactics will not work in real life in the world. So, let it in the bounds of the game only. The real world may not see doomsday at all but you have got the game which lets you play the them. Watch out for more news which comes from GearBox.
Review of BorderLands 2 Doomsday would certainly be written in details when ever this game becomes available. The game would certainly be tracked with auto alerts to know the dates on which the important announcements are made related to this game.
Why does Public not think Doomsday 2012 is Real?
It has been chaos in the doomsday theories and theorists are going mad because journalists and media are not picking up the noise anymore. As the date draws closer, the noise is fading away. There are various reasons behind the death of doomsday theme. Public does not think it is real. The main reason behind this thought is because Harold Camping lied to public and supporters or made some genuine mistakes in calculating the doomsday date; the result is the theme is gone. There is no game now. It has all evaporated in thin air. Everyone hoped to have various colorful views from the crazy doomsday experts. None of that is happening now.
The public perception is playing big role here. The maya calendars and some of those invisible planets have been pushed back to history. The public has begun to think that everyone who speaks about doomsday is a hoax and is trying to get the money by misleading lots of people. So, the public does not believe what an expert is trying to say. The doomsday forums used to be full of threads until last year, now the situation has changed as nobody is posting any material now.
It is the time for the people to return from Bugarach as well and leave the beautiful town the way it feels natural. Public's patience has run out now. The biggest and worst hit has been taken by the stores which thought they will be able to sell the things. Those supplies of doomsday are no longer in circulation. It is all because public is not ready to listen to what lots of people have been saying. Or the either way, the public expects better liars. The existing doomsday experts are bad liars. They are not not even entertaining now. They have become dull and media has lot interest in them.
The cover on secret doomsday theories was blown out of proportion and too early. Like move 2012 doomsday was released much before its actual time to do so. Now is the time for all those movies. The doomsday experts are not even looking better than the jokers in circus. There is nothing in this 2012 doomsday theme now.
The world is slowing down a bit and the acceleration of events is losing its speed. It is expected that over next 5o years the development aspects of the world would tend to become slower. The doomsday theories can not be left behind and of course the theme needs a super hero to get it revived again. So far, it is not going to happen.
Why Doomsday Bunkers News is Fake and Hoax?
There are many possible reasons to believe Doomsday Bunkers are hoax.
If you go by the information presented here logically, the bunkers do not make sense at all. Search on the web in the news sections of the search engines with the keywords doomsday or doomsday bunkers, you get nothing. The media attention is gone. There is no news reported on doomsday by the newspapers and news channels in the recent past. Now, consider the cost of those hyped doomsday bunkers in the realms of present calm realities, only crazy would buy those bunkers. Since the world is not full of crazy people who would buy the bunkers worth of millions, there are various possibilities. The first strongest possibility is that companies which were constructing these bunkers may have abandoned the project already because it does not make sense commercially. Yes, you guessed it right, Bunkers are not piece of art or the painting on the papers. The bunkers cost real money and if there is no danger why to get in the deep space for no reasons.
Ok, even if you believe, those bunkers are reality, the business sense does not make them proposed worth of business and money to even attempt. The layouts, prints and online images of the bunkers are very different from the real bunkers if they exist. The existence of those bunkers is doubtful. Has anyone seen those bunkers in real? Those companies which are supposed to build those structures, must bundle the media together and take them to tour the underground facilities. What is the harm? nothing. If those bunkers exist in reality, it would generate more publicity for the companies. Just one question to exist. The bunkers must exist to examine. The commercial proposition puts lots of doubt on basic question.
Now think of someone buying the bunkers and doomsday does not occur. Who is going to maintain those bunkers in future. Doomsday bunker project would not sell beyond media hypes. Almost all the doomsday sites are reporting heavy losses because public attention and media focus have been diluted since Camping made the noise. The steam is gone and the doomsday bunkers if they exist must be waiting for the customers. The cost of an average bunker is $200000. Are you ready to invest such money in something which will become zero soon after December 2012? Are those company brave enough to offer buy-back options if doomsday does not occur. I bet nobody does that in business. Since nobody does that, the doomsday bunkers news may be fake. Some one should validate the claims of those bunker companies. If you are a buyer or have found or discovered the truth which is different from what has been written here, it can be promised that this piece of article would be changed for sure.

The Bastrop-Morehouse Fire Department received a phone call right before 8 p.m. Wednesday, concerning a house fire on N. Alvin Street, according to chief Eric Montgomery.
Firefighters arrived at 7:51 to find the home of Robert Randle, 108 N. Alvin, was engulfed in flames on the back side of the residence, according to Montgomery.
Randle, who wasn't home at the time of the fire, said he received a call from his neighbor who told him his house was on fire.
"I'm the only person who lives here. No one was here [during fire]," Randle said. "I'm not sure who called the fire department, but I'm glad someone did."
Although the fire is still under investigation, Montgomery said it was obvious it started in the back room.
"The house wasn't a total loss, but the back part of the home is heavily damaged," he said. "We had the fire under control at 8:32. I'm glad no one was home and no one was injured."

Wargaming is something that I have always fancied having a go at. In the main, it has been time and expense that has precluded me having a go. Similarly, I tend to steer clear of wargaming PC games, as I find it all too easy to spend all weekend playing them! Therefore I was very interested to see this book by Sutherland and Canwell which is, in essence, wargaming in a book. And obviously, with my personal interest in the Battle of Arnhem, I was doubly fascinated to have a go at wargaming Arnhem.
The concept is thus. You play in the role of either of the opposing commanders – in this case, either Major General Roy Urquhart or Waffen SS General Wilhelm Bittrich. After reading the opening entry, you are given a series of choices, which usually entail making a tactical decision. Each step entails going on to another decision if you decide on a particular course of action. In essence, it is kind of like a giant flow chart, but only listed in a book. As far as I can tell it is pretty accurate to history, militarily and in terms of the geography and the 'feel' of the battle. I've walked over the ground at Arnhem a couple of times, as well as reading every book about the battle more than once, so I guess I'm as much an expert about Arnhem as you can get. Of course, it is quite simplistic, compared to say a PC game or a school hall long board wargame, but that's the beauty of it – you can sit on the train and play it with yourself, or maybe in conjunction with another fellow military history nerd.
Oh, and if you're wondering, I won! Playing as Urquhart, I stayed at my HQ initially on the first day, but went ahead to switch the Recce Squadron and the rest of 1st Parachute Brigade to the southern route once I hit opposition on the way into the town. As a result the 2nd Battalion made the Bridge, and more of the Brigade than did in reality. Of course, I know that on the evening of the 17th Urquhart got himself trapped in Arnhem, so I prompltly pulled myself back to main HQ. The rest of the 1st Brigade were held up in the town, but on the second day I switched the 4th Brigade (Grandad included!) to the southern route, down through Oosterbeek. Along with the balance of the 1st Brigade, they made it to the Bridge. The 1st Airlanding Brigade remained on the drop zones, where the Poles later landed. With enough men on the northern end of the Bridge, I sat it out – too many Germans on the south, my probing recces found that the opposition there wasn't worth wasting too many men on. However, once I heard that XXX Corps had taken Nijmegen Bridge and were advancing up the Island, I charged the south bank in an all or nothing coup de main – and took it!
Having read plenty of Arnhem books, I think that plan might well have worked – but of course, that takes a lot of hindsight. But then again, isn't that what we do, as historians? Take account of hindsight where others could not at the time? When you consider how it must have been trying to make decisions back in September 1944 – when Urquhart et al knew none of this – you can see how success and failure were divided by such a thin line. A very sobering realisation indeed.

Macbeth has been done many times on stage, and many times on the silver screen. Here are the classic Macbeth movies on DVD:
Macbeth Movie 1971: Roman Polanski
It is surprising that so few films have been made of Shakespeare's Macbeth, given that the play is such an exciting drama, filled with all the ingredients that would keep an audience on the edge of their seats.
Certainly, when Poanski's 1971 Macbeth movie came out in 1971 it was a blockbuster. The cinemas filled up with groupbookings by schools as teachers crocodiled their students to the local theatre. It met the cinematic expectations of movie-goers of the time, with its extreme and vivid violence, nudity, close-up face to face fighting and special effects. And it was a brilliant resource for students coming to Shakespeare for the first time. If you watch it now it's almost laughable in its datedness.
More serious, though, is its illustration of Polanski's misunderstanding of the play. When Macbeth is on his way to murder Duncan he is drawn to his chamber by a dagger that he sees, leading him on. It's clear that Macbeth is imagining the dagger but Polanski can't resist the opportunity for a special effect – a dagger that hangs in the air, glowing, and moving forward, literally leading Macbeth. Although Shakespeare has the stage direction for Banquo's ghost to appear it is clear in the text that it's an image of Macbeth's fear and guilt and the appearance of an actor is a distraction from Macbeth's reaction. It's a matter of judgment as whether to have an actual ghost and in this case it's bad judgment.
One of the great aspects of this play is the way Shakespeare manipulates audience response to Macbeth throughout the text. Your sympathies are entirely with Macbeth at first, even and especially after the murder of Duncan, until the brutal slaughter of Macduff's family. After that you see Macbeth for the brutal, power-hungry tyrant that he has become. When he eventually accepts his condition and puts on his soldier's uniform and becomes something of his old self your sympathies return. In the first part of the play Shakespeare takes you deep into Macbeth's mind and you travel down his path, identifying with his ambition and desire, hardly unaware of the horror you are entering into. And after Duncan's murder, you are still deep in there, experiencing Macbeth's fear and guilt for yourself. It is important, therefore, that you do not see Macbeth killing Duncan. That's why Shakespeare has the murder take place offstage. Polanski can't resist inserting a murder scene, thus spoiling the play entirely. When, in the exact middle of the play, you see a little child brutally murdered on stage – one of the most horrifying things that can happen in human life – you are shocked and appalled and you're jerked out of Macbeth's mind. Shakespeare helps you by showing Macbeth through the eyes of others for the first time. Polanski misses all of that.
This may still be a way of introducing students to the play but there are better ways available now, and better film versions, particularly The Royal Shakespeare Company's 1978 version with Ian McKellen and Judi Dench.
Macbeth Movie 1978: Trevor Nunn
Nunn's 1978 Macbeth movie is not cinematic in any way – it's theatrical, a television version of the Royal Shakespeare Company's stage production – but nevertheless a brilliant film.
The actors sit in a large circle and come forward for their performances. Most of the time you are unaware of the circle of actors as the filming is always close-up with the focus on the characters, isolated and lit, with darkness all around them. The language of the play indicates the perpetual darkness, as this is a vision of Hell. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth have turned their castle into a hell and when Duncan enters beneath its portals that's what he is going into. The comic scene with the porter at the gate spells it out, even if the images of Hell throughout pass you by, which they won't because of the way the actors deal with the poetry.
The emphasis is therefore on the acting, and you wouldn't find better acting anywhere, especially as this is among the finest performances of these two great actors.
There are no sets, only imaginative lighting and camera work. Colour is muted, the only real colour being the blood on Macbeth's hands after he has murdered Duncan. The focus is mainly on the faces, which fill the whole screen. McKellen, particularly, conveys Macbeth's emotions with language combined with facial expression.
One of the most striking and memorable moments is when Macbeth says 'What hands are here? They pluck out my eyes.' His hands, gleaming with blood, fill the screen as he contemplates what he has done. As blood is the most important poetic idea in the text much attention is given to that scene.
When Banquo's ghost appears, twice, all you see is McKellen's face as he suffers extreme guilt and emotional pain. He is physically sick as he confronts the ghost, which, of course, no-one else sees. When he goes to the witches to find out more about his fate, instead of a parade of spirits, which you see in Polanski's film of 1971, once again the focus is on McKellen's face. He makes the language work in the way he deals with it.
Judi Dench, dressed throughout in a tight black body suit, appears for the most part, as a white face, the darkness in which she exists being the main feature.
This is a version that you must see. It's entirely faithful to the text, uncut and complete. Trevor Nunn and the two actors show an impressive understanding of the text and their interpretation of it is as definitive as any interpretation could be.

NORTHFIELD, Mich. -- President Obama's re-election campaign has jumped in to the fratricidal battling ahead of the Michigan Republican primary, airing an ad that attacks the GOP candidates for opposing the government bailout that saved General Motors and Chrysler from bankruptcy.
"When a million jobs were on the line, every Republican turned their back, even said 'Let Detroit go bankrupt,'" the narrator says in the 30-second spot. A freeze frame photo of Mitt Romney, who was born in Michigan and whose father was governor, appears with the headline of an op-ed Romney wrote in the New York Times that uses the word "bankrupt."
Romney and his fellow candidates say that it's not the government's job to pick winners and losers. They argue that a private process of bankruptcy reorganization could have saved GM and Chrysler without taxpayer involvement.
Now, the auto industry is retooled and coming back strong, the spot argues, thanks to Obama, who shoved through the bailout. "Don't bet against the American worker," Obama says.
Romney is fighting former Sen. Rick Santorum for the lead in the Michigan primary, which will be held along with Arizona's on Tuesday. Texas Rep. Ron Paul also is running ads but has not campaigned here yet, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says he is going to skip both states and concentrate on Super Tuesday March 6.

On Mary's death record it states he was a saddler and that her mother was Ellen Fleming, after many years of searching I ended up putting in her first name only with her fathers name and with the process of elimination I found her record, it turned out her mother's name was different to that on Mary's death certificate. birth record has her mother as Jane Allen

There are some interesting spelling variances on a lot of surnames, not to mention the months and other words like chayld (child). Trying to fathom the years is feat in itself as the year is shown as "in the sixth reign of our sovereign" etc you have to work out the king or queen of that period.

Goodbye, healthy habits. Hello, truffle popcorn!
All throughout her pregnancy, Kendra Wilkinson has made eating clean a priority for both her and her family, but the mom-to-be — who's expecting a girl in mid May — is temporarily calling it quits.
"I'm 33 weeks right now. I'm at the point where I give up. I threw in the towel," she told PEOPLE while snacking at the launch of Jennifer Love Hewitt's L collection for A Pea in the Pod on Tuesday in Beverly Hills.
But while there are some areas the Kendra on Top star is willing to ease up on during her pregnancy, prepping her son Hank IV for the arrival of his baby sister isn't one of them.
"He is still my baby. That's the one thing we keep telling him, 'No matter what, you're still our baby.' We're going to always treat him that way and empower him," she explains.
"Just because we're having another baby doesn't mean he's not our baby anymore."
Wilkinson and her husband, Hank Baskett, have made it a point to include their 4-year-old since the start of the pregnancy, and the expectant reality star shares that their hard work is paying off.
"Every day is about his sister. Anything he learns — like not talking to strangers or crossing the street — he's like, 'I want to teach my baby sister, I want to make sure we protect her,'" the proud mom says.
"I want to make sure he knows to always watch her because she's special. I want to make him feel empowered and strong. I want to make him feel like he has a role."
Baby girl's birth isn't the only cause for celebration. On June 27, Wilkinson and Baskett will celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary, a milestone the mom-to-be is hoping to honor with more than just a date night.
"I'm waiting on Hank to propose to me again! We're thinking about a vow renewal," she explains. "We might do it on the show for my new season … [but] that might be cutting it too close to the birth."
Wilkinson, 28, has always been open about her hesitation to have another baby, but the couple have found their rhythm — in both marriage and parenting — and things have never been better.
"We never thought we would even have kids, but here we are having our second child. Reality is smacking us in the face, but it's such a beautiful thing," she says. "If it didn't work out with little Hank — with the parenting, how we're doing it and how he's turning out — we probably wouldn't have done this again."
Wilkinson adds, "We are so great. Our parenting skills, marriage, partnership, everything is just there so why not have one more? We're welcoming her with open arms and love and blessings. It's a celebration."

Animal Species:Long-nosed Bandicoot
The Long-nosed Bandicoot is probably best known for the small, round conical holes it leaves behind as it forages at night.
Standard Common Name
Long-nosed Bandicoot
About the size of a rabbit, the Long-nosed Bandicoot has pointed ears, a short tail, grey-brown fur and, of course, a long nose.
Size range
31 cm - 43 cm
Long-nosed Bandicoots are found in eastern Australia, from Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. They were once widespread and common in Sydney. Today, their range and distribution in the Sydney region is reduced, and isolated populations remain in bushland areas to the north and south of Sydney. A small colony at North Head, Manly is classified as an 'endangered population'.
Long-nosed Bandicoots live in forests and woodlands, and heath.
Feeding and Diet
Long-nosed Bandicoots eat insects and other small invertebrate prey.
Other behaviours and adaptations
The Long-nosed Bandicoot is probably best known for the small, round conical holes it leaves behind as it forages at night. These holes are dug with the front feet and are big enough for the animal's long, sensitive snout to reach in and detect insects and other small invertebrate prey. During the day they sleep in nests made from grasses and other plant material.
Life cycle
Long-nosed Bandicoots are solitary for most of the year. The gestation period of only 12.5 days is one of the shortest known of any mammal.

Your explanation could well be correct. The best way to confirm would be to send an image to Search & Discover; firstname.lastname@example.com if you see it again.
Hi Gilbert,
the long-nosed bandicoot population is the inner west of Sydney was listed in 2008 as an 'endangered population' under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/determinations/longnosedbandicootfd.htm. This means that anyone proposing a development that may impact the endangered population needs to determine the likelihood of a significant impact (known as a '7 Part Test' under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979) as part of their DA.

How do I find out how many servers there are on a network? Other than scanning, oh and is there a specific port I should look for other than 8080(Standard http proxy)?
if you're running windows, maybe the "net" command could help?
try typing "net view" into the command line...
When you connect to your ISP, you are potentially opening your computer to the world. There are \'naughty people\' out there who enjoy breaking into other people\'s computers. Give some thought to the security of your computer...
Unless you steal a network map from the WAN group, scanning is the best way to discover boxes.
The way I would do it is with NMAP. It will scan an entire network and guess at the OS of every machine that it hits. Grab yourself a Linux box or get NMAP for Windows and plug away. Note that you will need libpcap installed *before* you can use NMAP for windows. You can get everything you need from here:
Specifiying ports assumes that you are looking for a particular service, not just if the server is alive. 8080 is a popular proxy port. Are you looking for parimeter machines? Remote Webserver Management Consoles?
Hope this helps out.

Depends really, MOST networks these days are setup with a DMZ. A Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is used by a company that wants to host its own Internet services without sacrificing unauthorized access to its private network. The DMZ sits between the Internet and an internal network's line of defense, usually some combination of firewalls and bastion hosts.
Typically, the DMZ contains devices accessible to Internet traffic, such as Web (HTTP ) servers, FTP servers, SMTP (e-mail) servers and DNS servers.
So basically, IF a network has DMZ set up, all you get is the DMZ network. not the whole network. i have set up networks myself and i do recomend putting in a DMZ coz it always works. THE only way u can bypass a DMZ is by accuiring the routing tables.
Hey thehorse13 : NMap can't count the number of server in a specific website. I has used it !
that could be because a specific website is only one ip, therefore one server.
a website is not a network...
Never argue with an idiot, they\'ll just bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience
tranthanhtung : By scanning using NMAP or whatever you'll be able to find TCP/UDP open port in a range of IP addys.
The bigger the range is, the longer tha scan is!!! & UDP can take ages.
NMAP will tell u the service associated to the port, but if you want to know by yourself have a look in this prvious thread
[shadow] SHARING KNOWLEDGE[/shadow]
one of the nice way to network map a site would be to use a tool like etherape and view the actual protocal transversing across the network, since you know that only specific port and protocol would run from the server. even this is still a long shot since many honeynets could spoof this as well.

Why Apple axed Xserve, and how it can reenter the server market
iOS Explosion: 2006-2010
When the iPhone was announced, Apple targeted a goal of taking 1% share of the phone market. That sounded like either a modest goal or a presumptuously aggressive one, depending on how much one knew about the mobile market.
More important than achieving some percentage of the overall phone market however, Apple targeted and successfully acquired a strategically significant chunk of the smartphone market; it was the most sophisticated and profitable segment, and the one where most growth was and will be occurring.
Sales of iPhones ramped up dramatically, followed by supporting sales of the iPod touch. Both were in fact Mac OS X devices, even if Apple chose to brand them independently. Apple also chose to count its existing iPod sales separately from iPhone sales, obscuring the fact that iPhone were adding to iPod sales, rather than growing along independently.
Seeking for something negative to report, pundits had fixated on the flat growth of non-iOS iPods, failing to realize that Apple had actually expanded the premium MP3 player market it had essentially invented, adding (in the most recent quarter) over 14 million iPhones and 4.2 million iPads to the flat 9 million iPods it sells in a quarter.
They also seem to have failed to realize that Apple not only ramped up its sales of Macs from 0.8 million computers per quarter in 2002 to 3.89 million Macs in the last quarter, but that it has also added nearly 25 millions new mobile devices that run a version of Mac OS X's Cocoa, albeit disguised as the iOS brand.
Evolving strategy and opportunity costs
Today, Apple's decade-ago investments in notebook design, consumer electronics, direct retail, and software development all seem prescient, and clearly paid off very well. In contrast, the company's efforts in servers haven't done very much at all, largely because Apple's core competencies in managing user experience don't translate well into the business of selling server hardware. Other companies do a much better job of selling server hardware, with service and support options Apple can't (or doesn't care to) match.
Somewhat ironically, Apple differentiated its server products largely by being inexpensive, such as using consumer grade SATA drives rather than more expensive, enterprise-tier SAS drives. The enterprise market is less cost sensitive, so in most cases they preferred better service over cheaper components. That's the complete opposite of what Apple is criticized for in the PC market, where rivals brand Apple as too fancy and too expensive and too focused on personalized service.
In the market the Xserve was attempting to address (rack mounted servers), nobody cares too much about how the equipment looks or how attractive the server software it run is. Most servers in such an environment are managed remotely and collectively rather than being navigated using a standard desktop GUI.
Xserve hardware briefly held a unique advantage in delivering better performance per watt compared to Intel's Pentium 4 servers, but that edge offered by PowerPC CPUs was erased both by Apple's transition to Intel and Intel's own leaps in providing much more performance and efficiency in its high end CPUs.
At this point, the only advantage offered by Xserve hardware is Apple brand affinity, something that is rarely expressed in corporate server closets. At the same time, Apple has made both its Mac OS X desktop clients and its new mobile iOS devices much better at accessing enterprise file, messaging, and VPN services, limiting the need for an Apple-branded server just to sell Macs.
Additionally, Apple is no longer trying to sneak into the enterprise market via the server room; today, it's being welcomed in the front door as a mobile device vendor. Continuing to focus on Xserve development because of a 2002 decision to sell Apple branded servers would be foolish given how much has changed since. Apple can drop the Xserve and continue to sell its Mac OS X Server product on its Mac Pro and Mac mini, meaning very little lost revenue but much lower development costs.
Who was using the Xserve?
It's often been said that Apple was the biggest client of the Xserve. The company doesn't break Xserve sales out of its "desktop" figures, but it's clear the number wasn't very high. This year, slightly more than half of all Mac sales were desktops rather than portables. The majority of those machines were iMacs and to a lesser extent, Mac minis. The Mac Pro is a relatively small market, and the Xserve is even tinier.
Apple does not use mass quantities of Xserves to run its own business; the online Apple Store and iTunes once ran on Apple servers, but the backend of MobileMe is Solaris hardware. There's little benefit in Apple using Mac OS X Server for any of its major online services, let alone unique Xserve hardware. The company's new server operations in North Carolina certainly do not use Xserve hardware.
The SproutCore front-end Apple used to build MobileMe is based upon web standards capable of running on any server platform, and the same goes for Gianduia frameworks used to build Apple Store web apps and the WebObjects app servers used to run iTunes, the App Store, and the online Apple Store. The backend email and messaging servers of MobileMe run Oracle's Solaris and its Java System Messaging Server software.
Outside of Apple, there were some interesting appellations of the Xserve. The company flirted with the hospitality industry in using Macs to serve on demand video to clients in hotel rooms and cruise ship cabins, all powered by racks of Xserves. Replacing these with Mac Pros would be rather difficult. Other users in conventional IT departments also deployed Xserves as an easy way to add Apple's own brand of network services to their existing server infrastructure.
However, while there is enough annoyance with Apple's discontinuation of the Xserve to sponsor a website petition, there does not appear to be enough of a market for Apple to continue to address with its own hardware. Apple does however have the capability to relax its Mac OS X Server licensing to allow partners to install it on third party hardware, which would be a bigger win at lower costs for the company than continuing to develop unique hardware at a loss.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — NATO's chief said for the first time Friday that the alliance has no plans for military action in Syria because of the alleged use of chemical weapons against its civilians.
Asked about the alleged deadly attack in a suburb of Damascus on Aug. 21, NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen pointed the finger at Syrian forces. "It demands cynicism beyond what is reasonable to believe that the opposition is behind a chemical attack in an area it already largely controls," he said.
On Wednesday, Fogh Rasmussen said, "Any use of such weapons is unacceptable and cannot go unanswered. Those responsible must be held accountable."
But on Friday he told reporters in Denmark that NATO has no plans to intervene in Syria, which would require the approval of all 28 of its members.
Supporters of a proposed no-fly zone in Syria have pointed to the one that was established by NATO over Libya in 2011. It overwhelmed Moammar Gadhafi's air defenses and attacked tanks and military vehicles that threatened civilians.
NATO's top decision-making body, the North Atlantic Council, struggled for days to reach an agreement on using its military command and control capability to coordinate the operation in Libya, and the governments of the United States, Britain, France, Italy and Turkey helped coordinate that breakthrough.
But no such cooperation is emerging regarding Syria's civil war.
Backing the Obama administration, French President François Hollande offered strong support on Friday for international military action against the Syrian government over evidence of chemical munitions' use in the Syrian civil war. But on Thursday the British Parliament rejected Prime Minister David Cameron's call for intervention.

It's been a memorable few days to say the least and yellow has been the joyful colour woven throughout.
Firstly, Bradley Wiggins winning the Tour de France, the first Brit ever to do this. Obviously yellow is always the colour associated with this race.
Then on Thursday I went to London with my family to attend my book launch. On the way there, struggling in a very tight yellow dress to match the bright yellow of my new book cover, we were caught up with the Olympic flame at Hyde Park and came within feet of it. We took cabs, walked, and got propelled along by the crowds and eventually made it to Great Windmill Street to the launch venue, kindly hosted by Red (yes, I know) Consultancy.
I was worried no one would turn up as they would be put off by the Olympic crush but gradually the room filled and I was so grateful to everyone who made the epic journey to come out, including one lovely friend who I hadn't seen in over twenty years since our PGCE.
Red are based right opposite the Windmill Theatre which was the place where Sir Bruce Forsyth started his long career as a teenager. He was the inspiration for my first novel 'The Generation Game' which was launched from the same place almost exactly a year ago. And on the day of the launch of 'This Holey Life', Brucie carried the Olympic torch, representing the BBC.
Back in Devon yesterday, we watched the amazing opening ceremony, kicked off by Bradley Wiggins in his yellow jersey and watched on by Michelle Obama in a yellow dress. All these splashes of colour will stay with me for a very long time.
And finally: if you have an unpublished novel lurking about, do think about entering it for this year's Luke Bitmead Bursary award. But don't think about it for too long as the closing date is August 3rd. I wouldn't have got to wear that yellow dress had I not entered two years ago.

The International Research Centre of Investigative Psychology compiled a report on the eyewitness testimony that was crucial in convicting Al Megrahi as the Lockerbie Bomber. Professor Canter and his team carried out a detailed analysis of all aspects of the testimony of the main witness, a Maltese shop-keeper Mr Gauci. They also carried out an experiment to test key aspects of his identification evidence. The full report here was to be used in Al Megrahi's appeal, which was dropped when he was allowed back home on medical grounds.

Professor David Canter has written the latest edition in the popular Oxford University Press series entitled Forensic Psychology: A Very Short Introduction.
The book covers lie detection, offender profiling, jury selection, insanity in the law, predicting the risk of re offending , the minds of serial killers and many other topics that are all aspects of the rapidly developing area of scientific psychology broadly known as Forensic Psychology. The book discusses all the aspects of psychology that are relevant to the legal and criminal process as a whole.
April 18th, 2012
The Faces of Terrorism – Multidisciplinary Perspectives, edited by David Canter is now available to buy online. The text unravels the different facets of terrorism, investigating what it means to be a terrorist and what terrorism means for society. It also looks at the perspectives and views of terrorists.
In The Faces of Terrorism, an international selection of experts, from a variety of disciplines, provide professional perspectives on a range of issues surrounding terrorism today. While focusing on current concerns with terrorism that has its roots in Islam, the book also explores links between organized crime and radical violence, and examines a variety of terrorist acts beyond bombing, such as kidnapping for ransom and cyberterrorism. The contributors also examine the dynamics of social networks, which have come to play an essential role for terrorist groups. The subtleties of all these processes are illustrated with fascinating case studies of terrorists around the globe.
This book offers a much needed account of a growing consensus across different disciplines about the variegated nature of terrorism. Bringing together state-of-the-field perspectives on this increasingly important topic, it shows that counter-insurgency activities need to embrace the public rhetoric that castigates terrorism, as well as engage with processes that could potentially place people on pathways to violent political action.
April 18th, 2012
Professor David Canter, director of the International Research Centre for Investigative Psychology, has been honoured by his professional body, The British Psychological Society by being made an Honorary Fellow of the Society. This award, currently held by just 25 people, is reserved for psychologists whose work in the application of the disciple of psychology to the practical problems of our society is outstanding.

Woman dies after collapse in Toronto Marathon
TORONTO (AP) — An 18-year-old woman died after collapsing near the end of the Toronto Marathon on Sunday.
Police say attempts were made to revive the woman, whose name was not immediately released, but she was pronounced dead after being taken to a hospital. The cause of death was not immediately known, and police said only that the woman had suffered a medical emergency.
Another male runner also collapsed during the race, but bystanders and paramedics were able to resuscitate him and he was later reported to be in stable condition.
Before the race, runners paused for a moment of silence to honor the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings and also wore bibs featuring a "Remember Boston" ribbon image.
Terry Gehl of Quebec won the men's title, while Montreal's Mylene Sansoucy won the women's title.
