Luminary Micro represented by Cutter Electronics has introduced 34 new Stellaris microcontrollers (MCUs), bringing innovative networking and expanded control capabilities for real-time applications in motion control, fire and security, remote sensing, HVAC and building controls, power and energy monitoring and conversion, network appliances and switches, factory automation, electronic point-of-sale machines, test and measurement equipment, medical instrumentation, and gaming equipment.
Introduced now are 20 members of the Stellaris LM3S1000 high pin count real-time MCU series, 11 members of the Stellaris LM3S8000 Ethernet+CAN internetworking series, and 3 new members of the Stellaris LM3S6000 Ethernet series featuring hardware assist for IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) support.
The new Stellaris LM3S1000 series extend the benefits of the Stellaris family with real-time networking, larger onchip memories, enhanced power management, and expanded I/O capabilities. Evaluation kits for the new MCUs are available immediately through Luminary Micro's global sales channel. All of the new MCUs will be available in volume production later this quarter.
The LM3S1000 series feature new combinations of expanded general purpose I/O, larger on-chip memory, and low-power optimisation for battery-backed applications.
The LM3S8000 series features a fully-integrated 10/100 Mbps Ethernet with Controller Area Network (CAN) connectivity in a single-chip solution with ARM architecture compatibility.
The LM3S8000 series combine both Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) and Physical (PHY) layers with up to 3 CAN interfaces on-chip, marking the first time that integrated internetworking connectivity is available with an ARM Cortex-M3 MCU.
Professional grade motion control hardware is included in many of the new configurations, providing some of the industry's most powerful solutions for connected motion applications.
Stellaris family MCUs are based on the ARM Cortex-M3 processor, the microcontroller member of the ARM Cortex processor family. Designed for serious microcontroller applications, the Stellaris family provides entry into the industry's strongest ecosystem, with code compatibility ranging from $1 to 1 GHz.
Additional advantages include:
- Easy and cost-effective to upgrade from 8- and 16-bit applications, requiring less flash code space and delivering a 10x improvement in performance over 8051 cores and an 8x improvement in performance over PIC24F cores
- Extends ARM7 family processor capabilities in critical MCU applications with a 4x improvement in control processing performance, real-time interrupt response capability, and predictable deterministic interrupt behavior, while typically requiring just half the flash code space of ARM7 control
- Greater than 50 MIPS with a demonstrable 20x performance roadmap in the Cortex processor family, allowing for a no-worry migration path
- Good development environment and debug tools
MCUs with hardware-assisted IEEE 1588 PTP support
Three of the new Stellaris LM3S6000 Ethernet series MCUs and six of the new Stellaris LM3S8000 Ethernet+CAN internetworking MCUs feature hardware assist for IEEE 1588 PTP support.
The IEEE 1588 standard provides a mechanism for synchronizing distributed real-time clocks in a packet-based multicast network such as Ethernet.
Time-based synchronization is the preferred method for synchronizing control systems (especially motion control) over networks because it is not as susceptible to jitter as other synchronization methods and is also based on absolute time, making it easier to program.
Additional benefits of IEEE 1588 standard include the use of inexpensive network components, fault tolerance, hot plugging capability, and self-configuration.
Networked variable frequency drives require synchronization accuracy in the tens of milliseconds, and servo-controlled systems require accuracy in the few hundreds of nanoseconds. Stellaris implementations using the open source lwIP TCP/IP stack and open source 1588 PTPd stack achieve within 500nS synchronization accuracy, a greater than ten fold improvement over typical software-only implementations.
Stellaris offers integration for internetworking applications
Eleven of the new MCUs feature both on-chip Ethernet MAC and PHY and up to 3 integrated CAN controllers, making Stellaris ARM-based MCUs which offer this useful combination for real-time internetworking applications.
With Ethernet features including 10/100 Mbps full and half-duplex operation, automatic MDI/MDI-X cross-over correction, programmable MAC address, promiscuous mode support, and generous single-cycle 2KB transmit and 2KB receive buffers, and Bosch-licensed CAN controllers featuring bit rates up to 1 Mbps, 32 message objects per controller, and automatic transmission disable for TTCAN (time-triggered communication on CAN), the powerful communications capabilities in the LM3S8000 series offer more options for both control and internetworking applications.
New Stellaris MCUs optimised for battery-backed applications
Thirty-two of the new MCUs feature a battery-backed hibernation module that includes a real-time clock, a generous 256 bytes of non-volatile battery-backed memory, and the ability to wake on a real-time clock match, external pin interrupt, or low battery event.
Even using the real-time clock in hibernate mode, a standard CR2032 watch battery can support a Stellaris microcontroller in hibernate mode for over 3 years.
Evaluation kits have developers up and running in 10 minutes or less
This announcement includes the immediate availability of two complete evaluation kits: the Stellaris LM3S1968.
Evaluation Kit and the Stellaris LM3S8962 Ethernet+CAN evaluation kit
Each feature rich evaluation kit includes evaluation boards, all required cables, a choice of evaluation tools suites for popular development tools, documentation, the Stellaris Peripheral Driver Library (providing a convenient, no-hassle method of initializing, programming, and controlling peripherals), applications notes, and everything a developer needs to get up and running in 10 minutes or less.
Both kits span the design spectrum from evaluation to prototyping to application-specific design by functioning both as an evaluation platform and as a serial in-circuit debug interface for any Stellaris microcontroller-based target board.
Evaluation tools suite choices for the kits include ARM RealView Microcontroller Development kit (MDK), IAR Embedded Workbench Kickstart Edition, and CodeSourcery Sourcery G++ GNU tools.
In addition, ported demos of RTOSes include FreeRTOS.org, Micrium µC/OS-II with µC/Probe embedded system monitoring, Express Logic ThreadX, CMX Systems CMX-RTX, Keil RTX, IAR PowerPac, and SEGGER embOS. Communications stacks available for the Stellaris LM3S8962 Ethernet+CAN Evaluation

To the great state of wyoming!
And welcome to you, mike from texas!!
repost from here
(I'm posting this here, not on the Wyoming board, because it has national implications.)
March 12th, 2010
'This does draw a line in the sand'
(note, theres an error in this, Wyoming is the fourth state to pass such a law, Utah just passed one. But Wyomings IS the first with penalties for federal officials who violate it.)CHEYENNE With some trepidation, Governor Dave Freudenthal on Thursday signed into law a bill asserting that Wyoming-made firearms are exempt from all federal laws and regulations.
The legislation, which takes effect in July, is meant as a shot across the bow of the federal government. But its unclear whether the new law will remain a symbolic declaration of states and Second Amendment rights, or spark a real-life confrontation between state and federal officials.
Under the law, any firearms made from scratch in Wyoming besides automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenade launchers are officially exempt from all federal gun laws so long as the gun isnt taken out of the state.
That means no three-day waiting period to buy a Wyoming-made gun, no Federal Firearms License needed, no federal taxes to pay ..
Wyoming is the third state to pass a Firearms Freedom Act, after Montana and Tennessee. The laws are all based on the argument that since the federal government justifies its ability to regulate firearms on a section of the U.S. Constitution allowing Congress to regulate interstate commerce, any guns that never leave a state are exempt from federal control.
But Wyomings Firearms Freedom Act is harsher than the other states laws, as it says that any state or federal official who tries to enforce any federal gun law on firearms made and sold in Wyoming could face a $2,000 fine and up to a year in prison.
The problem with States Rights gun bills
By Michael W. Dean
The Wyoming Firearms Freedom Act-2., Wyoming bill HB0095 has been signed and will become law in July. Its a Tenth Amendment treatment of the Second Amendment, i.e. it is a States Rights deceleration.
The Tenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Wyoming bill HB0095 will allow our state to circumvent the federal governments gun laws for guns made and used in the state. (Most federal gun laws use the Interstate Commerce Clause to insert the feds into state business.) HB0095 rightfully applies the 10th Amendment (States Rights) to declare that if guns & ammo are made here and only ever used here, and not shipped out of state, they do not come under federal jurisdiction.
Both Tennessee and Montana tried this last year. But the feds basically said No, youre wrong. The states said Why?, the feds said BECAUSE WE SAY SO!, and both states basically said OK. Were sorry never mind.
The Wyoming bill, HB0095, is different in that it allows the state to prosecute federal agents who ignore this law.
Im all for this bill. But the problem with it is that in order to be more than a piece of paper, it would have to go to be tried in the courts. For that to happen, it could require a Wyoming citizen to get arrested by the feds, so Wyoming can arrest the fed who arrested the Wyoming citizen. Because that would give it teeth. Otherwise its just like the Tennessee and Montana bills: a nice start, but just a piece of paper in reality.
I think it has to be tested to make it stick.
My prediction: a Wyoming citizen will make a few silencers in his barn on his lathe, sell em at the swap meet, get arrested by a fed. Wyoming will arrest the fed who arrests the Wyoming citizen. It could likely turn into a hostage negotiation and prisoner exchange. With one side trading a prisoner to the other side for their prisoner. And the new law might get muted as a condition of the process
Wyoming will likely pick and choose who to use as a test case probably find the least gun nutty person arrested to make the case .like was done in DC in Heller, and like is happening in the Supreme Court now with that old grandpa in Chicago. So I wouldnt count on smooth sailing for everyone who decides to test this if/when it passes. I think it also might have to do with timing in relation to the upcoming elections.
Or the feds might keep their prisoner, and just bring in an army to take back their prisoner.
There may be someone willing to be a martyr for it. Im not going to volunteer for that job. There are generally no conjugal visits in federal prison. But if there are people willing to die for liberty, there must be someone willing to face prison to test a law. (Though Id wait until after the election. No reason to get thrown to the lions just to get someone votes.)
To be clear, I am NOT encouraging anyone to try be the test case. Encouraging that could be illegal.
The way this will likely be tested will be the way the Supreme Court case District of Columbia v. Heller was done. Someone (in this case, probably the state attorney general) will review cases and find the most non-gun nut candidate whos already been arrested.
For District of Columbia v. Heller, a wealthy libertarian attorney (Robert A. Levy, a Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute) who has never even owned a gun hired a team and looked at and vetted a bunch of people who had been turned down for a permit in DC. They settled on a policeman, a regular guy who didnt rock the boat in any other area of his life.
Levy and team didnt want much involvement from the gun lobby either. They figured (probably correctly) that the case would have a better public face if it were more about rights not guns, even though it was about gun rights.
The gun lobby, at least the NRA, would likely NOT touch this Wyoming one. Its a little too libertarian of a bill and not Republican enough for them. (My prediction? They wont give it much ink.)
The GOA or JPFO, and WGOA would likely jump all over it though, so there is that.
There are other possible ways this could be tested. A corporation could ignore federal law and be prosecuted by the feds. A corporation would have to risk having all their assets seized. And if that corporation started making machine guns and selling them over the internet with people driving within the state to pick them up at the factory, the feds would likely also arrest the guys at the loading dock filling orders, and the customers picking them up.
The third way I could see is the feds testing it simply on the State of Wyoming, just for passing it. But win or lose, that would risk having federal funding cut off, like the feds usually threaten to do when states have raised their speed limits in the past. The state would likely risk that anyway if they defended an individual or corporation on this, too. Dads gonna cut off your allowance if you dont behave.
That might just be what it takes. Losing federal funding. Because nailing some paper to the church door is a nice start, but it doesnt have teeth.
Its one thing to yell GET OFF MY PROPERTY! at trespassers. Its another thing entirely to keep trespassers off your property.
Right Arm of Wyoming - RKBA rock and roll.
To the great state of wyoming!
And welcome to you, mike from texas!!
I'll gladly contribute to the defense fund of any individual, gun shop owner or corporation who stands up to the Feds on this! It's way past time for the states to begin taking back the rights that they never really gave to the Federal Govt. but the Fed. Govt. just took it upon itself to usurp states rights. Using the Interstate Commerce act they correctly can influence and control sales of firearms between states but they have extended that to ALL guns and/or ammo made anywhere and that is, in my opinion, is where they over-stepped their boundaries and we let them. So to Wyoming, Montana and Tennessee my hat's off to them for having the courage to fight back; I hope more states follow suit.
What we're seeing happening now is a further grab of state and individual rights in the name of Health Care when it's
actually about personal control and more taxes. It appears that, if this crap is crammed down our collective throats, that
it's going to be up to the states to fight back on this and not participate in National Health Care, which would further
bankrupt states.
If the Fed threatens to pull Federal funding then let them, they're already broke anyway and the economy is going to
collapse so the Fed has no teeth to bite back with. States need to take back control of their own finances and solve their
own problems anyway and quit relying on the Feds for solutions to their own problems.
Just a thought.
Kill them all and let God sort them out!
I think it's time that We The People sent the federal government a message by stop paying into the federal tax. They would have less of my money to waste and we could pay more in state taxes so our states would not need the feds money, thus the state are not held hostage.
Amen to the power of invoking the 10th Amendment!! Woo-Hoo!
Armatissimi e liberissimi
So, it now seems we have Health Care and Firearms being tossed around by the Feds.
I understand there are roughly 34 states ready to sue over the Health Care thing. Now 5-states have declared Firearms Freedom. When will the Fed get the message? Will the Housing Bill be next?
Interesting fix we are in for sure.

Dolphins splash into semi-finals
Dolphins 235 for 5 45 overs (Watson 53, Klusener 43*) v Lions 42 for 0 7.4 overs (Bacher 24*) - No Result
Rain at Kingsmead in Durban has virtually finalised the final four places for the Standard Bank Cup semi-finals starting in the new year. With the Lions innings washed out after 7.4 overs, the three points gained by the Dolphins almost ensures them the fourth spot.
The other thee teams, Titans, Eagles and Lions are still fighting it out for a home semi-final while the Warriors have a very slim chance of knocking the Dolphins out of the fourth spot. They have to beat the Lions and gain the bonus point, and then hope that the Titans beat the Dolphins well enough to deny them a bonus point. The sixth team, the Cape Cobras, have no chance of reaching the semi-final stage.
The Dolphins innings of 235 for 5 was also interrupted by a 49-minute rain delay after 16.3 overs with the Dolphins then on 66 for 1. With the resumption of play, the rate steadily increased but it was left to Lance Klusener to once again do the damage as he hit an unbeaten 43 off 24 balls which included four towering sixes. Earlier Doug Watson had propped the innings up with a steady 53.
With the weather continuing to threaten the Lions got off to a brisk start. In the end it was all to no avail as the rain resumed, leaving the Lions on 42 without loss and a no result.

National Car Care month is just a couple of weeks away and the Car Care Council has some good advice.
They recommends setting aside a little time during National Car Care Month in April to get your vehicle ready for the spring and summer driving season.
Extreme cold, potholes and road salt take their toll in the winter months, so spring is a great time to show your vehicle a little care with a little maintenance. It could save you time and money in the future.
The non-profit Car Care Council recommends that motorists follow three simple steps during National Car Care Month in April.
- Keep your vehicle clean. Regular car washes and waxes protect the paint and body of your car from corrosive debris. In parts of the country where salt is used on the roads, regularly washing is especially important.
- Keep your car on schedule. Every vehicle has a manufacturer recommended maintenance schedule. Whether you choose to do your own maintenance or patronize a local repair shop, following a routine service schedule is essential to keeping your car in safe and dependable working order.
- Keep an eye on the little things. Your windshield wipers aren't cleaning as well as they should? Your gas tank is missing its cap? There's a warning light on your dashboard? When you see your car needs attention, don't delay. Repairing small things now can help avoid more costly problems down the road, and add years of useful vehicle life.
The Car Care Council offers many free tools on its website to help consumers drive smart, save money and be car care aware, including the popular 60-page Car Care Guide and a custom service schedule and email reminder service.
The Car Care Council is the source of information for the "Be Car Care Aware" consumer education campaign promoting the benefits of regular vehicle care, maintenance and repair to consumers. For a copy of the council's Car Care Guide or for more information, visit www.carcare.org.

Stay with it as he goes from "tro-los" to falsetto yelps to terrifying guffaws, finally waving and smiling as he eerily trills his way offstage.
And see if you can come out of this not only alive, but sane.
I couldn't. This clip was the last straw!

I'm afraid to say my only knowledge of The Shard was limited to how much it cost to go to the summit (£25!) and had no idea that it was situated at London Bridge. Impressive as it is, we were not tempted to part with fifty quid and made our way on Shanks' pony to the National Theatre on The South Bank to view the exhibition where admittance was free.
For me, his photographs just exude style, show his unique eye for glamour and beauty and have a timeless appeal.
You can see more of this great photographer and his work as tomorrow 21st April, on the centenary of his birth, Arena are presenting a profile of him on BBC4.

Leeahn Griffin-Scott Brisbane
"Ok, this is going to be a long one, so my apologies on the outset.
My wonderful husband has 2 X's. The first sofalofadrphilwatchingchocolatemunchingreligiouszealotpasinducingwelfaretheivingobeseoxygenthief, is the egg donor of my wonderful husbands first 3 children. Now these kids are now 17.16.13. We have not seen these kids since 2003, when the eldest decided that I was the cause of all the wars currently being waged in the world. In her not coming she decided that the other younger children shouldnt come also. Henceforth, no contact AT ALL since Xmas 2003. Twas convinent that she came intime for Xmas...hmmm
Anyways I digress.
The 2nd X is a psychopathicredheadedfreakofnature. I kid you not. This woman is an unmittigated lunatic. My wonderful husband partnered with her as he walked out the door of his first marriage. Long story. My wonderful husband has a 9yr old child to this fool.
Now the 1st X and the 2nd X absolutely loathed each other with every breath in their rather rotund bodies.
When my wonderful husband and I got together they decided to pal up and make our lives a living nightmare.
You need to understand some history here between the two X's. When my wonderful husband was with the psychopathicredheadedfreakofnature, his youngest at the time was 2 ( this was the child with the first X), the 1st X decided that she didnt want the children coming over for contact any longer and lodged sexual abuse allegations against the 2nd X. An investigation ensured, and all was found to be unsubstainted.
The 1st X was apparently so terrified of the 2nd X, that she went into hiding ( but still allowing contact to continue), had the silent number yada yada yada, had the AVo against my wonderful husband and the 2nd X.
Fast forward to my wonderful husband separating from the 2nd X. Well the 2nd X decides that she is going to return the favour to the first X by lodging sexual abuse allegations against my wonderful husbands son ( at the time 9) for interferring with the child from the union between my wonderful husband and the psychopathicredheadedfreakofnature ( the child was only 3). Again this was investigated by the police, Docs and I dare suggest the toothfairy. Again this allegation was found to be vexatious and unsubstainted.
Fast forward to 2003, after my wonderful husbands elder children decided that they didnt want any more to do with him, other than his wallet. Well the 1st X and the 2nd X decide that all allegations that they had against each other were just misunderstandings, and now they are bosum buddies!!
Well the first X and the second X decide that they are going to lodge sexual abuse allegations against my wonderful husband and myself over ALL the children....hmmmmm...can anyone see where I am going with this. Mind these allegations only came to light in 2005 when we were almost at trial for change of residence for my wonderful husbands child with the psychopathicredheadedfreakofnature. Apparently these allegations were backed up by ALL of his kids.
I know this is an awful thing to say, but if I never saw his children again it would be too too damn soon. I cannot and never will forgive them for what they have done to their father. I on the other hand, can and should expect some problems. But what they have done to the only parent that loves them more than life itself, is absolutely without question unforgiveable.
My wonderful husband would welcome them back with open arms, regardless of what they have done.
I should mention that my wonderful husband and I are foster carers. We have a sibling group of 4 ADHD kids. We have had these kids since 2003 and they arent going anywhere. We are Mum and Dad to them. they range in age from 11-4.
Both the X's have done their level best to have the children removed from our care. It bothers me that in their efforts of destroying our life, they are just using the children we have as collateral damage.
What gets me more than anything I guess, is that they all porport to be absolutely godfearing christian people.
I am furious. I just want them out of my life.
My wonderful husband still has contact EOW and half of all hols with the child from the psychopathicredheadedfreakofnature.
I find her deplorable. I can find absolutely nothing redeeming about her. I know that sounds horrific to say, and to be honest it bothers me beyond belief that i feel this way about the child.
My wonderful husband is currently awaiting trial in Jan07 for change of residence regarding the 9yr old. I am terribly concerned should he get residence as to how I am going to able to deal with her on a fulltime basis.
I know I am the adult. I know I should set the example, but I literally cant bear to be in the same room as her. The kids we have are being tormented by her on a reg basis.
Help needed folks.
Again sorry for the length
Wonderful stepmother who got custody of the child.

text: The Farm Bill Now coalition hosted a bipartisan rally at the U.S. Capitol encouraging Congress to pass a five-year farm bill before the current farm bill expires on Sept. 30. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), chairwoman of the Senate Agriculture Committee said, "The Senate passed a bipartisan farm bill that achieved major reform months ago. Now the House needs to pass a farm bill to help provide economic certainty for our farmers and ranchers and critically needed disaster assistance. Michigan's farmers know that when there is work to be done on the farm, you can't put it off for another day. The House of Representatives shouldn't put off its work for another day either." Bob Stallman, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) said, "Perhaps never in the history of farm legislation have so many diverse farmer and rancher voices joined together for such a common call for action on a farm bill. We gather here under a banner adorned with three words – farm bill now! And we are here to raise our voices toward Capitol Hill for a shared purpose." Roger Johnson, president of the National Farmers Union, reminded Congress that the farm bill is a bipartisan issue and that it is a farm, jobs, energy, conservation and consumer bill. Other congressional speakers included Congressman Collin Peterson (D-MN), ranking member of the House Agriculture Committee, Senator Jerry Moran (R-KS), Congresswoman Kristi Noem (R-SD. Agricultural speakers included representatives of the Agricultural Retailers Association, American Farmland Trust, American Soybean Association, National Association of Wheat Growers, National Consumers League, National Corn Growers Association, National Farmers Union, Michigan Milk Producers Association and the Untied Fresh Produce Association. The House Republican leadership has been reluctant to bring the farm bill to the floor for consideration because of a split within the Republican caucus as some members want deeper cuts in the bill. The "Farm Bill Now" coalition is comprised of over 80 agricultural, conservation, energy and consumer organizations

"Oz, the Great and Powerful" is not a remake of "The Wizard of Oz," but the trailer would certainly like us to make a connection to that beloved classic.
Many of the characters are the same (Oz, Glinda the Good Witch, etc.), and the trailer even transitions from black-and-white to color, just like Dorothy did on her "Wizard" journey.
Like "Wizard," "Great and Powerful" is also about an attempt to defeat the Wicked Witch of the West. It stars James Franco in the title role, as well as Rachel Weisz and Michelle Williams (pictured), and the eye-popping trailer promises one thing for sure: When the movie opens March 8, we'll see colors as surreally beautiful as the ones in the "Avatar" forest.

The primary purpose of premier tryouts is to evaluate and to place individuals onto teams that are developmentally appropriate for each player. Children develop at different rates and it is important for players developmentally to be placed onto teams that have other players at very similar levels of technical, tactical, physical, and psychological abilities and/or knowledge. One of the primary responsibilities of our coaching staff is to collectively group players of similar abilities at this time in their development onto teams. Our coaching staff, within specific age groups, works together collaboratively to not only design the tryouts themselves but to help place each player appropriately on a team within our club. There are numerous variables that go into placing each child (ie. developmental ability, player potential, positions of need or abundance, commitment level, etc.). At SKV, our premier coaching staff is composed only of individuals who have soccer specific coaching licenses and/or are individuals who have exceptional amount of playing experience. Our coaching staff is committed to developing players the right way and they take that commitment very seriously when placing players on specific teams.
We know you have many questions about our organization, our philosophies, our coaches, and much more so we have
spent a considerable amount of time preparing this Premier Tryout Manual for you. Please click the link to view our Sporting Kaw Valley Premier Tryout Manual.

Re: Best movie death scenesDiS has become a film board! I'm lovin' it!
Besides Godfather which has the monopoly on good death scenes, I think Tony Montana being taken down by what seems an entire army's bullets in Scarface is something else.

Re: Best movie death scenesLook at us all, we've become totally immune to violence. ;)
Re: Best movie death scenes- end of Resevoir Dogs, obviously
- the shootings at the end of both The Outsider and Rumblefish are great for emotional reasons and also leave you feeling appropriately hollow.
- plus the Vanishing (I think) - someone gets their head lopped off with a spade - that's quite a funny death scene.
Re: Best movie death scenesi clicked on this thread with only the thought of the exploding head in scanners. classic!
and yeh, final destination had some excellent deaths. my personal favourite was when the lady got her hair stuck in some hooks in the lift. AWESOME
Re: Best movie death scenesCube...haha. Nah, um...yeh.

this film also contains a man getting his fingers cut off and having the bloddy stumps sealed up with a cigarette lighter!!
Re: Best movie death scenesIt's not a film, but some of the deaths on Six Feet Under are good as well. The one where that block of blue ice falls out of a plane onto that woman's head...
Re: Best movie death scenes2 really great deaths from one film: The Omen.
A woman high in a building at Damien's birthday party shouts out joyfully to the party on the ground "it's all for you Damien!" and jumps off, hanging herself in front of loads of children. Chilling.
Another one later in the film where a guy is standing at the bottom of a hill, and a flatbed truck carrying sheets of glass is at the top. The handbrake is released, the truck rolls backwards down the hill, one sheet of glass is released at speed and decapitates the guy at the bottom.
Re: Best movie death scenesI seem to remember a priest getting impaled by a falling pole too.
Or was that Omen 2?
Re: Best movie death scenesThat was 1 i think. And it was actually a shard of frozen piss.
Re: Best movie death scenesGreat thread!
I'm going for:
- Tommy in "Goodfellas" - just totally unexpected and shocking
- Opening of "Citizen Kane" - obvious choice maybe, but still one of the most beautiful scenes in the history of film
- "Fargo" - you know the scene I'm talking about
- Sir Lancelot storms the castle in Monty Python's "Holy Grail" with humourously bloody consequences
Argh! So many wonderful deaths to choose from :D

Along with the treasure the bandits had hidden in Kuto's Well, they had also stashed two elven captives: a ranger, Inigo (Bob), and a wizard, Ginallath (John, in his first night playing with our group). Grateful for the rescue and in desperate need of a fresh infusion of cash, the elves agreed to join the party: with their numbers bolstered and access to an arcane spellcaster, the PCs began to consider a return to Sokol Keep to settle accounts with the Orcs. They discussed their options, then rested in the chambers beneath the Well.
Climbing out of the well the next morning, Inigo was greeted by a shower of rancid, regurgitated alcohol. This was, of course, Beck Darkmantle, who had chosen Kuto's Well to void the combined aftereffects of a night on the run from Vola as a werewolf, and his natural Tucker Max-ian penchant for alcohol. A fight almost ensued, but fortunately Beck recognized MacTavish and Wulf, and rejoined the party as it made its way back to New Phlan. Here, they split up again, with most of the group stopping at Jerome of Melvaunt's shop for supplies before heading back to their rooms at Nat Wyler's Bell while Beck roamed New Phlan seeking a refill of his keg and a hot bath. Instead, he had to make a hasty escape from Vola at the Bitter Blade (a hangout for political malcontents with all the worst aspects of a caucus and an open mic night), was turned away at the Cracked Crown (a more upscale inn catering to locals), and after a cold bath in the Moonsea vowed revenge.
In the meantime, Ginallath had identified the magical items from the bandits' stash (a +1 suit of chainmail, a +1 bastard sword, and various potions) and the party decided they would indeed return to Sokol Keep. Accordingly, they bedded down for a good night's sleep at Nat Wyler's…except for Beck, who convinced Aeryn to help him rob the Cracked Crown. The two arrived at the Crown, and Aeryn picked the lock. As they searched for the cashbox, Beck (not good at moving silently at the best of times) bumped up against a table, sending a mug crashing to the floor. The innkeeper woke and called for the Watch, and Beck made a hasty exit (but not without leaving some caltrops behind) while Aeryn hid in the Crown's kitchen. Aeryn waited in hiding for the innkeeper to leave, and Beck managed to talk his way out of being arrested by the watch by convincing them he was looking for a lost puppy (the New Phlan watch must like puppies…Beck rolled amazingly well on his Bluff check). Finally, both characters slunk back to Nat Wyler's Bell around 3AM…40 GP richer, as Aeryn had found the Crown's cashbox.
The next morning, the party visited the New Phlan City Council and, while unable to see their patron Poryphrys Cadorna, obtained a writ from the Council Clerk for a new rowboat. Loading themselves and their gear inside, the party rowed out into the harbor towards the Keep.

Gemballa has built a 911 Turbo with 809bhp called 'Avalanche'
- By topcarpics
- On 27/05/2017
A 'standard', 540bhp Porsche 911 Turbo is already quite indecently fast out of the box. If cars came in boxes. It'll happily launch from 0-62mph in three seconds flat, and rock on to a top speed of 199mph, where permitted of course.
So what Gemballa has achieved here is nothing short of frightening. Internet, today we bring you a small bit of news about a big bit of car: meet the Gemballa 'Avalanche'. That name referencing the effect its acceleration will likely have on the environment.
For this modified Porsche 911 Turbo (honestly, who modifies a 911 Turbo?), packs a whopping 809bhp. Which is an entire Peugeot 308 GTI more powerful than a regular Porsche 911 Turbo. If you're fond of big torque, then you will be pleased, because it has Big Torque: 709lb ft.
"The Gemballa Avalanche is an indefinable creation of engine sounds, power and acceleration to blast you across the horizon," explains Gemballa, and we're frightened. And though no acceleration or top speed figures have been quoted, well, you don't have to guess too hard.
There's literally no more information other than that which you have just read, and the two rather purple renders you have just seen. You'll spot the new bonnet, front bumper arrangement, new wheels, new exhausts, and, um, what we think is a rear wing but could very well end up being some kind of inter-planetary communications system.
Ah, there is one more snippet. The Avalanche - so named after Gemballa's original 1984 Porsche 911 Turbo with 385bhp - will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show next month, joined by another similarly-powered sibling. "We will be presenting two supercars in Geneva," explains Gemballa boss Steffen Korbach, "the Gemballa Avalanche and Gemballa GTR 780 Evo-R, which both set new standards in performance and style."
Cryptically, he added that both cars are "set to break some records". Hmm…

WildStar Engineer Class Announced
Recently, Carbine Studios gave us an up close and personal introduction to their final tank class, the Engineer.
Meet The Engineer
Engineering class will be available to the following races:
Exile: Human, Granock, Mordesh
Dominion: Human Chua, Mechari.
The Engineer may be a tank class, but it can still dish out damage. They're flexible, able to jump right into the thick of battle, or pull back and let their bots (pets) and comrades take the hits while they do long range DPS damage. Engineers can cast on the move, but their movement speed is slowed when casting, unlike the Medic class.
"More of a shock trooper. Your DPS won't be as high as a Spellslinger, but you will be able to take more punishment."
Unlike Warrior and Stalker classes, Engineers are made for continuous ranged attacks. They can also restore their own shields and health, whereas Warrior class can only restore shields and Stalker classes can only restore health.
Target acquisition: Engineers can aim this attack and mark up to 12 different targets for damage... or put all 12 targets on a single target. For each mark, damage dealt increases. You get all 12 from marks from the get go with no need to level up to acquire more (though we're guessing that damage will increase as skill increases).
Launcher: Engineers can use their Launchers, a heavy cannon that's highly unstable and builds up Volatility with use to charge more powerful attacks. This generates unstable energy focused on dealing high damage.
Engineers are a Heavy Armor class. In addition to the highest rated armor class, they also boast an Exo-suite, or as one WildStar developer put it:
"Armor on top of your armor."
Exo-suites are useable with Engineer stances, and changes effect based on different stances. For instance, when you use a Tank stance paired with Exo-suite:
"It just makes you awesome... you're almost invulnerable"
Using the Exo-suite with a DPS stance increases your Volatility, allowing you to more quickly build up a big attack. As of now, the Exo-suite has over a 2 minute cooldown, starts with 20 second active time and increases as your character improves.
Pets: "The one true pet class we have in WildStar"
"We wanted control for the bots to be fairly fluid to match our faster paced gameplay."
Engineers will have access to Bots, making them the only pet class. Engineers get four bot pets to choose from (though you begin with less and unlock the full set through progression), and can have any two out at one time. Pets are summoned and permanent until the pet is destroyed.
(Names are subject to change)
Bots scale directly off the Engineer's stats. The pets are intended to take a beating, and the WildStar dev team is watching closely throughout testing to see if tweaks need to be made. Presently, there is a 15 second cooldown on death for each bot.
What do you think?
If you got your hands on WildStar tomorrow, is Engineer the class you'd want to try first?
GabrielKrossDecember 4, 2013, 1:01 amFeatured Columnistlooks like we just got to wait for the Engineer devspeak next week :O
SynzerDecember 3, 2013, 4:59 pmGuide EditorThis class sounds so epic. I'm definitely playing Engineer when the game comes out.
RothalackDecember 3, 2013, 3:20 pmMaster O' BugsI hate to do it, but SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY


text: Hello everyone. Im on the AT&T network and I just purchased a Milestone that came from Canada and its running perfectly. Is the Milestone exactly the same as the Verizon Droid? Any operating systems that work for the Droid, will it work for the Milestone? I had the Droid last year when it came out when I was still with VZW, but had to switch over to AT&T and missed my Droid. My phone only has 2.1 so I was wondering if I could get the 2.2 on it or not?

Spinning Friday tunes since 2010...
For anyone who wants to join in, simply choose five pieces of music and post them for other bloggers to enjoy. Then check out the set posted by the other 5 on Friday blogger -- you can sign in over at Golch Central's Rambling Stuff.
This week's set is dedicated to Misha Collins and all GISHWHES participants.
Misha plays the angel Castiel on my favorite show, the show for which I drop everything, sitting to watch it properly rather than staying on the computer and half-watching out of the corner of my eye: Supernatural
This is what Misha looks like in character as Castiel.
This is what Misha looks like, normally.
Pretty good arms, actually.
Shouldn't lean so much, though.
Hard to keep the center!
Much harder than it looks. Those ballet dancers are doing themselves no favors, most of the time, making it all seem so effortless.
Anyway, because Misha's big scavenger hunt is beginning tomorrow, today's 5 on Friday goes out to all GISHWHES participants. Good luck! Have fun!
1 - The Final Countdown - Europe
2 - Seven Nation Army - White Stripes
3 - Fishin' Blues - Taj Mahal

City Of God
One of the best films I've seen for quite a while. In fact, like a breath of fresh air after all the over-stylised, content-free Hollywood gumph I've sat in front of in the last week. I remember why I got so obsessed with good films lately, by being exposed to bad ones. For every awful, tawdry piece of thoroughly meaningless turd (I'm looking at you, Pirates of the Carribbean 2) there's a Paris, Texas or a Wings of Desire or a City of God waiting to be watched.
I prefer Back To The Future
I was impressed by it when I saw it but actually thought it was a bit Hollywoodish and not really as great as everyone went on about it. (I am not gonna be able to back this point up I can't remember why I thought it)
COG I mean
youre right though
it is quite hollywoodish and over-stylised, its quite entertaining viewing nontheless.
City of God
is one of my favourite ever films. True fact. I've been trying to get my mate Mike to watch it for aaaaaaaages now and I think that tomorrow will be the night where I finally corner him
Great film
It's quite good
although all the jerky camera work seems a bit unnecessary at times.
I'll jerk your camera
if you carry on like that
I wanted to see what was happening
in all the kerfuffles. Or am I missing the point?
as i said earlier
it is pretty much my best (favourite) film ever. well it's not actually, but it is a brilliant piece of western yet foreign cinematography. i wish i had seen it again tonight. but at least it was on at all
I loved it.
I might get it on DVD. Then I might reaaaaaaally love it.
first time ive seen
it, can't believe i was contemplating not actually bothering to watch the thing.
got completely wrapped up in it, on the edge of my seat througout, not a boring scene it. fantastic
you actually saw
pirates of the carribean 2? you deserve your fate then...
other movies worth seeing:
bad education (it's a spanish title, malo educacion perhaps?)
science of sleep
motorcycle diaries
the fountain (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! darren's best one yet)
fast food nation (read the book as well)
pirates of the caribbean 2
was really good. much better than the first one. Sea monsters OMG.
keira knightley is right annoying in it though.
city of god i hadne seen before, and stil havent really. this late at night i cant really be bothered reading subtitles. but i find most roadtrip type movies annoying and i find most crime type movies annoying, so probably not really my kind of thing.
it's better than most
crime type movies. It's GRIPPING, in fact. But like, in foreign.
i do
still want to give it a go when im paying attention.
i might rent it in the new year.
if i can deal with the foreign-ness, that is.
you should do this
it is a great film. it's like the first time i watched the godfather, and i'd heard everyone say how good it was, and i was thinking it'll be crap, but then it was great.
that^ x ,you know, a lot, maybe 5.
i havent seen the godfather either
because i was thinking it'd be crap....
(I've seen bits of it it but i didnt understand what was going on, and it seemed a bit boring. just old men in suits.)
set aside some time
to sit and watch them all, even the 3rd one which is a bit rubbish.
i did it over a weekend once, re-watching them all i mean.
i think you need to do it with no distractions, and it was as satisfying as reading a really good book.
i probably should
in fact, if i made new years resolutions, which i dont, then mine would be to see more films.
i dont really like films. but i think they deserve more of a chance. also, i can watch them while doing other stuff like reading... i think.
I saw it on the bigscreen
when it was released and have the dvd, which has an interesting documentary after it.
I lent both City Of God and Ghost World to a friend months ago and he has watched neither of them. The total alienation from my friends makes more sense in light of that :p
I ordered City Of God
yesterday from here:
Great price.
Arghgh I forgot to watch it
that Pirates of the Caribbean thing that was on on boxing day was the worst thing i've ever seen though. Plotless, overlong boredom saved only by being able to look at Kiera Knightly for 2 hours (yes I know it's an unimaginative crush and she looks like a boy...)
she was hotter in the first one
dunno.. she just really annoyed me in the second film. Which is a shame. Because the second one is miiiles better.
It's great, yes.
My Mum talked all the way through it and wouldn't let me turn the sound on last night though. Boo!
I'm not sure it's as good as Jurassic Park though, which I am convinced should be in every top 10 film list ever. I like dinosaurs a bit.
I watched Together which is a swedish film set in a little commune house thingy and is nicely quirky and stuff the other night. That's good too. It involves Marx, sex and swedes; there's nothing not to like.
Jurassic Park is cool
JP2 much less so. I've not seen the third one.
They have a four-disc pack going cheap at the moment, you know?
I've never seen it but I'd quite like to
But I tend not to watch films on TV unless I know they're rubbish as I don't trust them to get the aspect ratio right.
Perfect distillation of what it is to be Theo
As the director intended, man
as the director intended...
I love you Theo.
I saw it in the cinema
and thought it was incredible. I wondered if it has the same impact on the small screen, I'm guessing...... yes.
Does anyone know
if City Of Men is any good? It's a TV series spin off thing apparently.
sounds hilariously pastiche
in a gay porn way. I've never seen it, I'm just pontificating.
Not as good
just ok.
It was well good Brainlove.
And you know it.
red road
is ACE. :D

On the way to growing up, there is always something that is meaningful to us. For different people, there are different things which do not have to be significant, but are memorable for them. For me, there is one special of them thing, I call it "my scale," a height scale on the wall. I know a lot of people have it because it is not only a scale, but also records the memories of different time periods.
I used to live with my paternal grandparents before sixth grade. My grandparents' house is an old condominium in a military base, because my grandpa worked in the military. In this old condominium, the poor walls were destroyed by my drawings. I remember I drew birds on the wall, because I thought that the wall looked like the sky. Compared to all of these drawings, my scale is pretty outstanding as it is made of tons up of pencil lines drawn by me or my parents.
The scale is not the normal height scale that we see in a physical examination room, for it is drawn by hand. When I was little, we did not have a height scale in our house. So it was necessary for me to use a tape measure to measure my height. That is what I did; I stood up against the wall near the doorframe of my room. Either my mom or my dad would put a ruler on my head and use a pencil to draw a line on the wall, then use the tape measure to measure my height. Therefore, my scale is not like a ruler because it is not very precise. I used colored pencil to make the scale pretty colorful. Last summer when I went back to Beijing and my grandma's house, my scale was still on the wall, and it carries all of the memories of my childhood like a full Easter-egg basket. When I look at the scale, all of my memories come to my mind like waves which engage as thousands of pictures. For example, I can picture that I am annoying mom to buy a toy or crying while I was doing math given to me by my dad as punishment.
The bottom of the scale was so indistinct because it was a long time ago when we drew on that wall. Many times touching the scale, I made it hard to tell which one is the most bottom-most line as the bottom lines are so low. I must have been four or five when my parents measured my height for the first time. I remember when I was little, I was a troublesome tomboy. I climbed a tree; I caught a bumble bee; I jumped off the wall. I spent most time with boys instead of playing dolls or role playing with girls. Today, I can still see some scars on my arms and legs that I got when I was little. They are the most profound brands on my body which recorded all the memories of my childhood, just like my scale marked on the wall.
As time flew by, I grew up strikingly fast. My height changed speedily from grade five to grade six. In one year, I grew more than ten centimeters. I do not know how my bones grew that much in one year, but I guess maybe they were tired of stretching a little bit every year. So they decided to boom in one year. On the scale, there is a huge space between two lines. I didn't change only by my appearance, but I had emotional changes as well. I thought I was tall and old enough to be a teenager, so I paid more attention to my clothes and beauty and started arguing with my parents about everything. I tried to speak out, and tell all my opinions, because I did not want to listen any more. I remember once I went to my friend's holiday village to play, which is owned by her family. While we were in this holiday village, my mom called me on my cell phone so many times, which really upset me. I could not understand how she still treated me like a little kid. I thought I was mature enough to be an adult in my family, but I guess I was not.
My scale had stopped at 161 centimeters (5 feet and 3 inches) at the time I left my grandma's house to live in my parent's new condominium. I had a hard time in middle school, because my school was very competitive. I did not like it very much.
Therefore, I took my feet to the land of the United States to study in another country. I thought it would be much easier than China for academic studying. Honestly, I was right, but the difficulty is I have to manage everything independently. My poor English made me embarrassed so many times. One time, I learned a new expression, when people get mad, they will say "I am pissed off." Instead of saying "pissed off", I said "Oh, I am pissed out." My friends laughed so hard after I said that. I was so embarrassed that I wanted to dig a hole on the ground and bury myself. But I could not do it. When this kind of thing happens, I can't run away and avoid facing it. Thereby, Instead of escaping from it, I laughed with them. Then, I did not feel so embarrassed.
I can not remember how many awkward situations or problems I had before, but all these experiences really made me mature a lot. There is no crutch for me to rely on any longer. By the time I chose to study abroad, I knew it would be my best chance to grow up independently.
I am really proud of myself about an air ticket issue I solved a couple days ago. I planned to go back to China during Thanksgiving, but there was mere a five-day break for Thanksgiving. Therefore, I tried my best to find the cheapest air tickets on Airfare.com. However, things never go fluently with me, I don't know whose mistake it was, but, they put my host mom's first name for my middle name, though I do not have a middle name. I called the airline so many times, but they could not figure out my issue until the day before my departure. I was like a burning ant who did not know what to do. I was so anxious that I could not concentrate on my studies, though I had the SAT coming soon. I felt so hopeless, because there was no one who could help me with it. I had to solve this problem myself. So I called the airline's agency a couple of times. Finally, the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) helped me to remove the middle name, and I got on the air plane with no trouble at all. When I tried to solve this problem, I was scared to death, for I couldn't get on the air plane. However, I was not like a couple years ago when I had just become a teenager. I know when I meet some difficult situations, I needed to calm down and use my brain to think instead of being flurried and make silly mistakes. I learned not to ask my parents to do everything for me like an immature baby. Honestly,I hated dealing with things individually, because I always want to get some help from others. But as I grew up, little by little, I felt that I should take this responsibility to take good care of myself. I am really proud of myself, solving the air ticket issue, which was one of the biggest challenges I have ever had.
In these short two years, I have been like an eyas being pushed out of the nest, flying freely in the sky; like a beginner swimmer who is pushed by the coach. I am not like a baby, lying in my parent's arms. I am willing to deal with everything individually. "Be the change you wish to see in the world." This quote by Gandhi, is one of my favorite quotes, because I am a teenager, and I am changing into a person I wish to see in the world.
I am 166 centimeters tall now, which is about five feet and five inches, and I grew about two inches since sixth grade. Although I did not change a lot in height, all my feelings about myself are different from five years ago. Once, in my dream, I wished I could go back to my grandma's old condominium to see my memorable scale to recall interesting events. I wished the time could fly back so that I would not have had the period of hard time when I was immaturely arguing with my parents and making a lot of silly mistakes. Now, I am eighteen. I have truly become an independent young adult.

Innocence Project of Florida Innocence Project of Florida
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
The Innocence Project of Florida (IPF) helps innocent prisoners in Florida obtain their freedom and rebuild their lives. Our mission is to:
- Screen and investigate cases in which meritorious innocence claims are identified;
- Secure DNA testing when biological evidence exists;
- Advocate for the release of each inmate excluded from criminal responsibility by this highly critical analysis;
- Provide transitional and aftercare services to exonerees; and
- Advocate for necessary criminal justice reform to avoid wrongful incarcerations in the future.
IPF has three over-arching programs: Find & Free the wrongfully convicted, provide Transitional Support for those who have been exonerated, and Reform the Criminal Justice System so wrongful convictions don't happen in the future.
Find & Free: Investigation & Litigation: The Innocence Project of Florida (IPF) screens and investigates cases in which credible innocence claims are identified, secures DNA testing through litigation when biological evidence exists, and advocates for the release of each inmate proven innocent by this highly critical scientific analysis.
Transitional Support for Exonerees: The Florida exonerees, those whose innocence has been proven and who have been released from prison, spent an average of 19.5 years wrongfully incarcerated. Upon their release, the State of Florida provides them nothing - not a change of clothes, not a bus ticket, no support through a re-entry program. IPF has a full-time social worker on staff who arranges for and provides aid to exonerees, which may include medical, psychological, and social support; occupational training and assistance; housing assistance; family support; and education.
Criminal Justice System Reforms: IPF works with people from across the criminal justice system - including prosecutors, victims, law enforcement agencies and defense advocates - to enact meaningful reform. Improving fairness and accuracy in the criminal justice system benefits all segments of society. Victims and their families can see justice; prosecutors and police can have the tools to do their jobs well; the public can have more confidence in the system; and innocent people and their families can avoid the tragedy of wrongful convictions.

It seems that Toyota is all too happy to promote their heritage in any country except the US. When the twelfth generation S180 Crown debuted in J-land, Toyota brought out eleven of its ancestors to promote one of the longest-running model names in their lineup. Here's the display from Megaweb, Toyota's uber-showroom in Tokyo.
As you all very well know, this year is Toyota's 50th anniversary in the US, but nary a peep will be made by the Mr, Big T, much to the dismay of classic Toyota enthusiasts like us. The closest thing is they've done is release a 50th anniversary Camry hybrid. The Crown, the first Japanese car ever officially imported to these shores while pioneering 50 years of Toyota's involvement in motorsports, was celebrated at the recent Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK. At least we can gaze on these machines from afar.

There were many more stars in attendance at the BAFTA Los Angeles Tea Party, joining Diane Kruger on Saturday (January 6).
Michelle Williams: As we might have predicted, the actress was dressed in a Louis Vuitton design—this one a basic variation on a sheath dress with a graphic pattern to add visual interest.
Issa Rae: Continuing her sunny-yellow mood from the 2018 AFI Awards, Issa donned a Rosie Assoulin Spring 2018 frock that featured a sense of girly playfulness in the oversized ruffle detail. With Monica Vinader jewels to round out the look, she kept the styling simple and sleek this time around.
Emma Watson: Emma debuted a short set of bangs that had a certain Sofia Boutella influence to go with her Osman Resort 2018 ensemble. The sharp look prominently celebrated the menswear trend, with Susi Studio loafers contributing to that theme.

Loaded Baked Potato Dip
My dearest mother claims this is her favorite appetizer I've ever made, so you know it's absolutely delicious! If you like loaded baked potatoes, you will L-O-V-E this appetizer.
The original recipe was a little bland for my tastes, so I added a heap of garlic, parsley, basil and pepper, my go-to herbs and spices, to add a little flavor. The extra ingredients are what gave the dip its WOW factor, and I would suggest adding any herbs and spices that satisfy your tastes to really make this a delicious appetizer.
16 ounces sour cream
16 slices (12-ounce package) bacon, cooked and crumbled
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (about 2 cups)
1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions or chives (I used both for extra flavor)
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving to allow flavors to meld together. Garnish with extra shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped chives. Serve with your favorite potato chips or pretzel crisps. Dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Mascaras don't come much more full-on than this one. Two coats will have your lashes blacker than Donald Trump's soul, and longer than the list of people he offends.
I am late to the party with this highly coveted, top seller for YSL. Nic and Sam from Pixiwoo raved about this to me, so I decided to grab one… and see if it lived up to all the hype. My previous mascara loves are all tubing formulas, simply because I am really fussy about ZERO smudging. No panda eyes in the morning for me please. Some mascaras let you think you have removed your eye makeup, only to leave you with black smudgy peepers the next morning, à la Jack Sparrow. This is genuinely one of my biggest concerns, and I am thrilled to tell you that YSL Effect Faux Cils Mascara does NOT budge or leave panda eyes. Hurrah!

It's one thing for the NBA to relegate the Magic to persona non grata (no national TV love and unfavorable schedule). It's quite another for the league to perhaps take away the one club in the bag that they've used since Dwight Howard departed.
If commissioner Adam Silver has his way, he'll make changes to the draft-lottery system in an attempt to reward winning and curtail tanking, perhaps as early as this season.

It's an honour usually only reserved for hats, but at the Brandt Centre Friday night people will be tossing teddies onto the ice for a good cause.
Fans are asked to bring a stuffed animal to the game and when the Pats score their first goal of the evening everyone will toss the toys down to the ice.
According to Pats defenceman Connor Hobbs, a lot of bragging rights goes to the Pats player who scores the first goal.
"That one's a special goal for the boys and for the fans," he told the Green Zone's Jamie Nye on Thursday.
After the game the teddies end up in very special homes.
Before Christmas Pats players will drop many of the stuffed animals off at the children's ward at the hospital with the remainder being donated to the Salvation Army and Palliative Care's Caring Hearts Camp.
For the players who go out to deliver the toys, it's special too.
"It's incredible. It makes you feel good," Hobbs said. "I know that the kids enjoy it and it's a great thing for the city, for us and for the team."
Pats fans set a new standard at the toss last year by throwing more than 2,000 animals down to the rink, but this year there is a little extra on the line.
Saskatoon's Mayor Charlie Clark has issued a challenge to Regina Mayor Michael Fougere: The mayor whose city accumulates the fewest numbers of stuffed toys will have to wear the winning city's jersey at a city council meeting.
"We all know that the Regina Pats have the best team in the CHL and the best fans anywhere so we accept your challenge," said Fougere in a social media video posted by the Pats this week.
"You're going to look really good in a Pats jersey," he added in a taunt to Clark.
There will be a limited number of teddies available for purchase at the game for fans who can't make to the store before heading to the Brandt Centre.
Puck drops at 7 p.m. – don't be late or you might miss the first goal and your time to toss the teddies!

In the last two hundred years more zinc is incorporated into brass making the finish smoother, stronger and easier to polish to an excellent finish. These stunning chandeliers are stylish and elegant. This is a small selection of the type of products available, if you require something larger all these products are hand-made to order so the manufacturer can produce a fitting to your specification.

Charlotte's Library has a great entry about Girl, Hero, in which she identifies a little-recognized benefit of Carrie's novels:
"That being said, here's another reason why I am going to try to get my
boys to read the works of Carrie Jones. She writes the nicest high
school boys ever (in this book, it's Paolo, who's cool and sweet and
understanding), and I want my sons to be that nice too."
True, but why, if Carrie is capable of such great boys (and she is), is her one super-bad boy named Andrew?

Sometimes, you run in to a requirement where you would like to change the layout of the screen based on another field, for instance if a dropdownbox contains a certain value, you would like to show different input fields from when the dropdown box contains another value, or in some cases the existence of a value in one field might require input in another field.
There are several ways to implement this, where one of the most flexible ways is implementing the DO_CONFIG_DETERMINATION. Standard SAP does not contain many implementations of this class, but the best example is probably in component BP_HEAD in the AccountDetails view.
If you look at the code, the do_config_determination first reads the values from the typed_context.
You can of course read values directly from the context, or first retrieve them from the relations.
Then, using a simple method call, the values are sent to the config keys:
me->set_config_keys( iv_object_type = lv_object_type
iv_object_sub_type = lv_subtype
iv_propagate_2_children = abap_true ).
iv_object_sub_type = lv_subtype
iv_propagate_2_children = abap_true ).
As you can see in the BP_HEAD/AccountDetails view, the object_type and subobject_type are set. You can only use the object_type and subobject_types that are available in the system, so, in the example, SAP uses BP_ACCOUNT, INDIVIDUAL and GROUP. So, the logic to determine the object type in this case is hardcoded.
Another good example of variable configuration determination can be seen in BT126H_APPT. Here, SAP decided not to use the do_config_determination of a particular view, but to implement it in the window BT126H_APPT/MainWindow.
The downside of using the configuration determination using the object_type and object_subtype, is that while adding new configurations, the values that are available are limited to what has been defined in the hardcoded valuehelp.
If you want to be implement dynamic configuration determination independent of hardcoded objects and subobjects, you can use the field 'Component Usage'. If you move the value from a field to the component usage, you will be able to differentiate in the configuration based on the value you have entered in the screen. If the values in the screen are limited to a few values (for instance in a radiobutton, or a dropdown listbox), this could be a perfect solution to your requirement.
If you want to check whether a value is present in a field or not, do not move the exact value to the component usage, but move 'X' or 'Blank' to the field for instance. Otherwise, you would have to create configurations for all possible entries in the field.
You can set the component usage in the do_config_determination, by implementing the following statement:
ME->CONFIGURATION_DESCR->SET_COMPONENT_USAGE( [your variable] ).
As the do_config_determination is called on every roundtrip, you can choose to force a roundtrip after changing the value in a DDLB or a radiobutton by implementing an event as described here. You do not necessarily have to implement the actual corresponding event handler, as all you want to do is force a roundtrip.
For ordinary input fields, a roundtrip is triggered upon enter.
Using this dynamic usage determination, you are able to move for instance the user status of an object to the component usage field, and then differentiate in the view configuration per status. In some cases you might have different mandatory fields for different statusses.
