Ten years old
Morgan Horse
Purcellville, Virginia, USA
hat makes Flower special: Flower was part of one of the largest equine rescues in the US. 31 pure breed Morgans were rescued in 1991, Flower being the weakest... she couldn't even stand on her own, and had to be carried from the horse trailer by her rescuers. She recovered and became the "posterchild" for the Equine Rescue League which had saved her. The Morgans' case was heard in court and the man who had owned them got the harshest sentence that had ever been given for the abuse of animals. Flower overcame her fear and distrust of humans and is today a sweet and loving pet, and an educator against horse abuse and neglect. She has been in HorsePlay magazine twice and is featured in a book called The Magic of Horses: Horses as Healers. I adopted Flower four years ago and she has been my best friend ever since!
Her physical rehabilitation took almost a whole year. She had so little nutrition that she had stopped growing a coat, and when she first started getting fed on a regular basis, her old dead coat fell out and she was bald! Luckily it was during the summer. She also coliced very badly from suddenly getting food. By a year later though, she looked like a totally normal three-year-old, with a beautiful shinning coat. The emotional damage was much worse however. She was terrified of everyone and everything! I worked with her on the ground for a full two years before she was able to be taken into a boarding situation. She is now completely approachable by strangers, and is actually very friendly. I cried the first time a complete stranger walked into her paddock and Flower went over and demanded a scratch and/or treat!
She starting her riding training last summer and is doing
well! She is a very good jumper, and really excels at dressage! I ride her four to five times a week. I am amazed at the condition of her body after such abuse - she has always been in perfect health and has never been lame. She has the toughest hooves I've ever seen and has never needed horseshoes. She hasn't had any problem with colic after that first time. My only concern with her is to keep her from getting
Flower's favorite game is "feed Flower treats" followed closely by "scratch Flower's bottom!" She likes jelly beans, sugar cubes, peppermints, carrots, apples, pears, oranges... !!! She also likes to play our version of "Simon Says." I will walk and she will follow me, if I jog, she will trot, when I stop, she stops, etc.
She is an excellent representative against horse abuse. (The photo I sent is actually not the worst, she had been rescued for some time at that point.) It makes a great impression on people to see her before picture, and then to see her in the flesh... and to touch her. She and I go back to the rescue league that saved her for their open houses and I have actually used her for pony rides, where the children can sit on her and be lead around. The effect she makes on people is profound, and I am not exaggerating when I say that people come up to me and hug me with tears running down their faces after petting her. They look at her with awe, and touch her carefully, as if she may break. Most people know me as "Flower's Mom"... she is pretty well known in this area!!

When Kevin Gates raps, he makes his emotions as clear as his tattoos. His breakthrough EP The Luca Brasi Story positioned him as the Nicolas Sparks-reading thug and tatted up crooner who valued love to an almost painful degree. He was just doing what came naturally, and "100it Gang" proves that his songs can navigate hip-hop radio's trippy anthems just as intriguingly as his own character.
Rapping Gates duets with his dancehall-inflected singing side over a glittering party anthem from the Mike Will Made It School, but don't think that the only affection is reserved for the substances he and his tight-knit crew are abusing; Gates is looking for a groupie that "bumps india.arie...not the average girl from the videos." Gates has passed his first big test of maintaining artistic integrity since signing to Atlantic Records, but what about commercial viability? On that, he speaks plainly: "Video coming on MTV? Could really give a fuck / 'long as every hood know it."

The repertoire is largely Celtic and American traditional standards among players of traditional music. While the playing is rather straightforward compared to subsequent Helicon recordings, this is a very sweet recording with lovely moments. Some fans still say that it is their favorite.

Assiniboine "those who cook with stones" (Algonquian). Canadian Assiniboines are also known as Stoneys. Their traditional self-designation is unknown. See also Nakota.
Location The Siouan people probably originated in the lower Mississippi Valley and moved north through Ohio and into the Lake Superior region (northern Minnesota/southwestern Ontario). In the seventeenth century, the Assiniboine lived near Lake Winnipeg. From the eighteenth century on they have lived in present-day Montana and Saskatchewan.
Population The seventeenth-century population was roughly 10,000 people. In the 1990s about 8,000 Assiniboines, Gros Ventres, and Yanktonais lived on the two Montana reservations. There is also a Stoney population on Canadian reserves.
Language Assiniboines/Yanktonais speak the Nakota dialect of Dakota, a Siouan language.
Historical Information
History Assiniboines separated from the northern Yanktonai by perhaps the late sixteenth century, moving north from the Ohio Valley through Wisconsin and Minnesota, along the edge of the Woodlands into southern and southwestern Ontario. They became involved in the French fur trade in the early seventeenth century.
By later in that century they had made peace with the Plains Cree, joining them near Lake Winnipeg, and were trading with Hudson's Bay Company posts there. Assiniboines ranged over an extremely wide territory during that period, from near the Arctic Circle to the upper Missouri River and from James Bay to the Rocky Mountains. When trade with the Hudson's Bay Company declined, in the later eighteenth century, the Assiniboine became fully nomadic, continuing the westward migration and hunting around the Saskatchewan and Assiniboine Rivers and across much of the northern Plains.
Major smallpox epidemics struck the people in 1780 and 1836, and alcohol and venereal disease also took a heavy toll. During that period, the Assiniboine divided into a lower and an upper division. Decimation of the buffalo herds as well as their own sharp population decline forced them to sign the 1851 Fort Laramie Treaty, limiting Assiniboine lands to parcels in western Montana.
Some Assiniboines worked as scouts for U.S. and Canadian armies in their Indian wars. In 1887, upper division Assiniboines (and the Gros Ventres) were confined to the new Fort Belknap Reservation; Fort Peck, which they shared with the Yanktonai, was created in 1873. Several hundred Assiniboine died of starvation at Fort Peck in 1883-1884.
Meanwhile, in Canada, unregulated whiskey sales were taking a great toll on Indian people. In 1877, as a result of national police intervention in the whiskey trade, the Stoneys and some other tribes signed Treaty Number 7, exchanging their traditional territory for reserves in Alberta and Saskatchewan, although some groups attempted to maintain their autonomy. Much of the reserve land was alienated in the early twentieth century owing to allotting and permitting of non-Indian homesteads.
Religion Male and female specialists provided religious leadership. Ceremonial implements and techniques included rattles, chants, charms, and songs. In the eighteenth century, the annual Sun Dance became the people's most important religious ceremony, although the custom of self-torture was not generally present.
Wakonda was worshiped as a primary deity, although the Assiniboine also recognized natural phenomena such as sun and thunder. Sweat lodge purification was an important religious practice. Spirit visions could be obtained through quests or in dreams. Some ceremonies featured masked clowns.
Government The Assiniboine were composed of up to 30 bands, each with its own chief. The chieftainship was based on leadership skills and personal contacts rather than heredity. Each band also had a council, whose decisions were enforced by the akitcita, or camp police.
Customs The people valued hospitality highly; they enjoyed visits with each other and with friendly tribes. There were a number of men's and women's dance societies with various social and ceremonial importance. There may have been clans.
The dead were placed on tree scaffolds with their feet to the west. When the scaffolds fell through age, the bones were buried and the skulls placed in a circle, facing inward. Cremation was also practiced. All burial areas were treated with great respect. Dead souls were said to inhabit a paradise to the south.
Assiniboine and Gros Ventre chiefs adorned for the Grass Dance in Fort Belknap, Montana, circa 1906.
Dead warriors were dressed in their finest clothes. Their faces were painted red, their weapons placed beside them, and one of their horses was killed for use in the next life. Women's tools, such as those used for dressing skins, were placed beside them. Mourning practices included cutting hair, dressing in rags, and sometimes slashing limbs.
Pubescent girls were secluded for four days, during which time they observed dietary and behavioral restrictions. Brides were purchased. Marriage consisted of a simple gift-giving ceremony between parents. The people played lacrosse and games of skill and dexterity, such as shinny and the cup-and-ball game, and held athletic competitions. Most games were accompanied by gambling.
Dwellings A village might contain up to 200 skin lodges or tipis. The average, which held two to four families, had roughly a 30-foot circumference and was constructed of about 12 sewn buffalo hides. Assiniboine tipis had a three-pole foundation. A temporary brush field shelter was also used.
Diet Assiniboines on the high plains lived mainly on game such as buffalo, elk, and antelope. Women often accompanied hunters to butcher the animals and cut meat into strips to dry. Fresh meat was usually roasted on a spit, although it was sometimes boiled with hot rocks in a skin-lined hole. Other foods included wild berries, roots (turnip), fruits (grapes, plums), and nuts.
Key Technology The buffalo was the basis of all technology. Most items, such as clothing, tools, and utensils, were made of buffalo and other animal products. The flageolet, or flute, was used in part to convey surreptitious messages between young lovers. Assiniboines also played the rasp and the drum.
Trade The people were known as shrewd traders, especially in their role as middlemen with the Hudson's Bay Company. Before trade began with non-Indians, they generally traded pelts and meat with farming tribes for agricultural products.
Notable Arts Significant art included decorative beaded quillwork (nineteenth century) and designs on tree bark.
Transportation Dogs (later horses) carried saddle bags and travois. The people acquired horses in about the 1730s. They also used snowshoes.
Dress Dress on the high plains was similar to that of other tribes, particularly the Plains Cree. Men often wore their long hair coiled atop the head.
War and Weapons The Plains Cree were traditional allies, with whom the Assiniboine regularly fought the Dakota, Crow, Gros Ventre, and Blackfeet. The Assiniboine were recognized as highly capable warriors. Counting coup was more important than killing an enemy; four people might count coup on the same enemy, in descending order of prestige. Weapons included war clubs (a stone in a leather pouch attached to a stick), bow and arrow, and buffalo-hide shields.
Contemporary Information
Government/Reservations Fort Belknap (Blaine and Philips Counties, Montana), established in 1887, contains roughly 616,000 acres, about one-quarter of which are tribally owned. The 1990 Indian population was 2,332. The reservation is governed under an Indian Reorganization Act (IRA) constitution and by-laws.
Fort Peck (Daniels, Roosevelt, Sheridan, and Valley Counties, Montana), established in 1873, contains about 981,000 acres, about one-quarter of which are tribally owned. The 1990 Indian population was 5,782. Their 1927 constitution is not based on the IRA. The reservation adopted a representative government, the Tribal Executive Board, in 1960.
Canadian communities include Carry the Kettle, Pheasant Rump, and Ocean Man in Saskatchewan and Elexis, Paul, Wesley, Big Horn, and Eden Valley in Alberta.
Economy Both reservations lease land to non-Indian farmers and ranchers. Fort Peck owns and operates a profitable oil well. It also contains other mineral resources and has encouraged industrial development.
Legal Status The Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the Fort Peck Reservation is a federally recognized tribal entity. The Fort Belknap Indian Community (Gros Ventre and Assiniboine-Sioux) is a federally recognized tribal entity.
Daily Life Maintaining their cultural identity in a community shared with other tribes as well as non-Indians is a major challenge facing contemporary Assiniboines. The Bureau of Indian Affairs, which has long dominated the Fort Belknap Reservation, has traditionally viewed both Indian groups as one community, to the detriment of Indian cultural identity. Fort Peck has traditionally enjoyed stronger political leadership and consequently greater self-determination and economic opportunity.
Diabetes is an ongoing and serious health problem. Traditional religion is maintained in the form of the hand game and the Sun Dance. There are also a number of important ceremonies associated with funerals and sweat lodges. The sacred pipe remains central to Assiniboine religion. Some members of the tribe participate in the Native American Church as well as in Medicine Lodge (called Rain Dance in Canada) ceremonies. The Assiniboine language is spoken by young and old alike, although it is used primarily in ceremonies. Assiniboine women continue to make museum-quality star quilts for secular and religious purposes.

Cowboys remove Brent from roster, not team
Updated 9:00 pm, Wednesday, December 12, 2012
Josh Brent won't play another down for the Dallas Cowboys this season, but that doesn't mean the team has cut ties with the troubled nose tackle.
Far from it, in fact.
After consulting with the NFL, the Cowboys on Wednesday removed Brent from their 53-man roster and placed him on the reserved/non-football illness list.
The move allows him to continue to have access to the team's facilities and personnel.
Brent, 24, was charged with intoxication manslaughter after the death early Saturday morning of practice squad linebacker Jerry Brown, 25. Irving police say Brent was at the wheel of a speeding 2007 Mercedes when he lost control on the service road of State Highway 114 with Brown as a passenger.
"Josh is part of our family," coach Jason Garrett said at a news conference in Irving. "We have unconditional love for him, and we're going to make sure we support him every way we can … having him be here and knowing people are around him to help him and that he can call us, just be around us, cry, laugh, do whatever he needs to and we'll be there to help him."
Players echoed Garrett's comments.
"He's got our support," defensive end Jason Hatcher. "He is our brother. He is family.
"Like I told him, he is going to play football again. We are going to do what we can to fight for him and keep him on the right track. … I love him with all my heart."
Filling the roster spot
The Cowboys signed free-agent defensive tackle Brian Schaefering to fill Brent's roster spot. A third-year pro from Lindenwood (Mo.), the 6-4, 292-pound St. Louis native has experience with Rob Ryan's defensive scheme after logging nine starts for Cleveland in 2010, Ryan's last season with the Browns.
With Brent's football fate decided at least for this season and Tuesday's memorial service for Brown behind them, the Cowboys returned to work Wednesday with at least the beginnings of a sense of closure.
Their healing process received a major boost from the actions of Brown's mother, Stacey Jackson. After arriving in Dallas from St. Louis on Tuesday morning, Jackson rode to the memorial service with Brent and also insisted he sit on the same row with her during the service at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship.
Brent and Brown, former teammates and roommates at Illinois, were best friends. They also roomed together after Dallas signed Brown on Oct. 24.
"You can tell she has so much love for Josh, and there's been a real connection there for a long time," Garrett said. "She too wants to supports him every way she can. … It's like nothing I've ever seen."
The Cowboys declined to give details of the hour-long service, but Garrett called it "incredible on so many different levels. … There was a lot of love in the room."
It all began with Jackson.
"Jerry's mom … it was as remarkable a thing as I've seen in my life," Garrett said. "I got a chance to visit with her prior to the memorial, and the strength she demonstrates, the faith she has, her ability to understand and have peace in this situation so quickly is remarkable. She has been a rock for everybody."
Moving forward
Brent's removal from the active roster capped a turbulent four days for the Cowboys in which they coped with the sudden death of a teammate and the knowledge that another had entered a world of emotional pain - all while preparing for and then beating Cincinnati 20-19 on a field goal as time experienced.
Executive vice president Stephen Jones praised Garrett for the leadership he showed during the ordeal.
"As a leader of our team, he certainly did well in the face of adversity," Jones said.
Possibly fearing an emotional letdown, Garrett cautioned the tough times aren't over as the team prepares to host Pittsburgh on Sunday in a clash of 7-6 playoff hopefuls.
"The big thing we have to do is balance remembering and honoring Jerry, supporting Josh and also getting back to living our lives," he said.

From Golf Magazine [1] (April 2011)
Category: Game-Improvement Irons
We tested: 20° and 23° hybrids plus 4-GW with Aldila NV-3 graphite shaft
Key Technologies: Long and mid-irons (3-7) have a high-strength steel face that's 20 percent thinner and more flexible than the S2 irons, resulting in higher ball speeds (+1.5 mph) and longer distances (2-4 yards). The sweet-spot area transitions in each club based on typical ball impact patterns -- elliptical in the long irons to more circular in the short irons -- to improve forgiveness and feel.
OUR TESTERS SAY: These are solid, reliable sticks. One of the highest-rated clubs in terms of accuracy/forgiveness.
PLAYABILITY: Consistent high, straight shots throughout the bag; clubheads handle rough with ease.
ACCURACY/FORGIVENESS: Very good directional help; high-launching irons that know only straight.
DISTANCE CONTROL: Many testers find these on par with their sticks, while a few get serious distance gains.
FEEL: Good head stability; full-cavity, thermoplastic urethane insert cushions impact.
LOOK: Muscular, compact head looks powerful at address; silver face and topline frame ball well and provide handsome contrast to black head.
Some testers find the bold graphics to be too much; club numbers written on the toe make it difficult to see in the bag.
$599, steel; $699, graphite
Cobra S3 Max Iron-Hybrid
From Golf Magazine [1] (April 2011)
Category: Max Game-Improvement Irons
We tested: 3h, 4h, 5h, 6-PW with UST Mamiya iHS graphite shaft; 3h, 4h, 5-PW with S3 Max steel shaft
Key Technologies: The low-profile irons have a new face thickness design (slightly thicker than S2 Max) that places more mass behind the hitting area for improved ball speed and feel. Cobra's largest, most forgiving hybrid (S3 Max hybrid replaces long irons) has redesigned rails for more consistent ball contact.
OUR TESTERS SAY: Playable combo set offers above-average accuracy and forgiveness.
PLAYABILITY: Solid contact yields straight shots with higher-than-normal height; some testers find it easier to hit fades than draws.
ACCURACY/FORGIVENESS: Hybrids provide ample help across the face; irons retain accuracy more than distance on mis-hits.
DISTANCE CONTROL: Average to slightly above-average length, though many testers find yardages to be pretty consistent throughout the set.
FEEL: The hybrids are stable through impact while the mid- and short irons provide a softer than expected sensation on full shots.
LOOK: Oval alignment aid on iron face helps with aim; thick topline frames the ball well.
Many testers experience a lack of feedback at impact; others don't care for the club's performance out of rough and from tricky lies.
From Sports Illustrated Golf+ [1] (February 7, 2011)
The set features low-profile, wide-sole irons and larger Baffler-style hybrids, which deliver maximum forgiveness and promote a high launch angle.
$499, steel; $599, graphite

By Ryan Burton
IBF junior middleweight champion Cornelius "K9" Bundrage (31-4, 18KOs) appeared on the most recent edition of The Boxing Lab, BoxingScene.com's official podcast. K9 faces Cory Spinks on June 30th in a rematch of their 2010 fight which he won via fifth round knockout.
Bundrage has been inactive since his points victory over Sechew Powell last June. He says that the lack of big fights prompted him to sit out his contract with Don King so that he could become a promotional free agent.
"I was with Don King and I had to wait for the contract to run out. He just didn't produce. I signed a contract and he didn't get me the fights. Now I just need to take care of Spinks again," Bundrage revealed.
Even though their first fight was one-sided, Bundrage insists that he will take Spinks seriously.
"God works in mysterious ways. You never know what he has planned. I take Spinks seriously. Bute was supposed to steam roll Froch and we saw what happened there. You never know."
Golden Boy Promotions won the purse bid for Bundrage-Spinks 2 and has placed the bout on Showtime's ShoBox series on June 30th. Bundrage is thankful and likes his position being promoter less.
"I'm a free agent like Lebron (James) when he left Cleveland. Thank God for what Golden Boy did. I feel like I'm out of jail not being with Don King," Bundrage concluded.

A friend got me some Omaha Steaks for Christmas. Awaiting the arrival of eight filets any day now.
Grilled my first steak of 2017 last night.
Grilled ribeye this evening.
Grilled my first strips last night. Sucker were super thick. First time ever I felt like I might have undercooked them.
Last night was Mahogony's to celebrate our daughter's college graduation, 8 months removed. Better late than never I guess.

And its no diff than any other steak pic in this thread. Sorry if my photography is not studio perfect. I don't hire someone to take pics of my steaks.
What a coincidence, I just happen to have a pic of when it was pulled
The sear over lump charcoal
The standard is pull at 140 and rest until 145.
You should be able to tell temp by feel rather than jabbing a hole in it.
med rare is 135...
if you remove from grill at 140 or 145.....it's gonna end up medium to medium well....

Dan Haren is by far the most accomplished pitcher in the Nationals' rotation, with 119 career wins and three All-Star Games on his resume. He holds the fifth-best strikeout-to-walk ratio in major league history. But that doesn't mean that he isn't trying to add a new wrinkle or give hitters a different look.
That's why he's made working the inside part of the plate to right-handed hitters a focus this spring.
Haren admits that he stayed away from the inner half to righties in past years, but in doing some self-evaluation, decided that he was going to work on coming in more during spring training. It's something that's a work in progress for the 32-year-old, but he felt good about how he was working the inside part of the plate to righties today.
"I gave up a hit today to (Jhonny) Peralta, but it's just something I've got to work on, focus on," Haren said. "I got a couple outs against Torii (Hunter) with it. I've just been stubborn in the past, just stay away to righties, but now's the time, if any, to work on that because the results really don't matter. But I've been getting in there pretty good. Wilson (Ramos) likes to call it inside, too. I've noticed that he likes to call fastballs inside, so threw quite a few today.
"There would be games (in past seasons) that would go by where I wouldn't throw anything inside to righties. So, yeah, it's a matter of keeping hitters honest, too. Being able to work both sides of the plate. Like I said, I was just stubborn in the past. I felt like I'd want them to beat me out over the plate, but I was getting beat out over the plate. So I had to just make adjustments. I came into spring - if there's any time to work on something, it's now."
Having a little bit of confidence in something in spring training is one thing. Having confidence enough in that aspect of your game to use it in regular season games is something else entirely.
Haren will continue to work on coming in to righties over the final three weeks of spring, and depending on what he sees from batters, he'll determine how much he wants to be working inside on righties during games of actual consequence.
"You judge by the way hitters react, really," Haren said. "For the most part, I feel like it's opening up the outside part of the plate for me a little bit. Just if you move guys' feet, it always helps. If you move a batter's feet in that at-bat, a lot of times you're going to have success. So it's just about making hitters uncomfortable, really."
Haren threw 61 pitches today, and got through four solid innings of work. Despite back and hip issues that nagged at him a bit last season, Haren says he feels strong and healthy this spring. He's been spending more time in the training room in between starts to prep for his mound work, but doesn't feel anything is holding him back from a health perspective.
"Physically, I feel really good now," he said. "The ball's coming out of my hand really good, almost as good as it did at any point last year. I still haven't necessarily gone 100 percent effort, but the ball seems to be getting on hitters a little bit better."

Dakota Fanning enrolls at NYU
Actress Dakota Fanning has enrolled at New York University, according to a report.
The star graduated from high school in June, and reports emerged suggesting she was set to head to the East Coast university.
Now, student website nyulocal.com has fuelled the speculation by discovering Fanning's email address in the campus' online directory.
The actress was first spotted checking out the university last year
Dakota Fanning graduates high school
Dakota Fanning donned a traditional cap and gown to attend her high school graduation ceremony on Monday.
The child star joined her classmates from Los Angeles' private Campbell Hall school for the passing out event, held at the city's Walt Disney Concert Hall.
Fanning, 17, wore a bright blue robe with yellow trim for the ceremony, which marked the end of her high school career. She reportedly plans to enroll at New York University in the autumn.
Dakota Fanning put school test before "Twilight" screening
Teenage movie star Dakota Fanning missed out on a cast screening of "Twilight" sequel "Eclipse" last week – because she was too busy with school exams.
The 16 year old was too focused on passing her latest school test to sit and watch her latest movie with castmates who were preparing for Saturday's junket interviews with the media.
The actress revealed she was studying for a college admissions test – and she admits it was tough.
She tells news show "Access Hollywood," "I did some guessing… I didn't know one question on the science section… I don't even know how it's scored."
Fanning now hopes to see the latest "Twilight" film before it opens in movie theaters on June 30.
Kristen Stewart banned from 'groping' underage Dakota Fanning
Kristen Stewart was banned from "groping" Dakota Fanning during their onscreen kiss for new movie "The Runaways" because her co-star was just 15 when they shot the steamy scene.
The pair puckered up for a same-sex smooch during the film, about the 1970s rock group and featuring the "Twilight" actress as Joan Jett and Fanning as her band mate Cherie Currie.
And Stewart, 19, admits she was restricted by working practice regulations when they filmed the kiss, because Fanning was so young.
She tells "Access Hollywood," "She was 15, and I wasn't allowed to grope her. I'm actually not kidding, there are major restrictions that I don't remember (from) when I was younger.
"I don't want to give anything way. It's a really passionate, hardcore scene."
Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning are surprise guests at Joan Jett concert
Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning whipped crowds into a frenzy at Joan Jett's concert in Utah on Saturday when they joined the rocker onstage to celebrate their new movie biopic, "The Runaways."
"Twilight" star Stewart rocks out as Jett in the film, about the singer's 1970s band The Runaways, with Fanning portraying bandmate Cherie Currie.
The actresses were the guests of honor at the Joan Jett & The Blackhearts show in Park City at the weekend and the "I Love Rock N' Roll" hitmaker surprised fans by bringing the stars up onstage to thank them for their work on "The Runaways," prompting the audience to break out into cheers and applause.
Stewart and Fanning enjoyed the rest of Jett's concert backstage.
The Runaways premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on Sunday.
Fanning Set For 'Twilight 2'?

Dakota Fanning has been offered the role of a vampire in the "Twilight" sequel, according to Internet reports.
The teenage actress is in talks to play an Italian vampire opposite Kristen Stewart and brooding Brit Rob Pattinson in "New Moon."
If she accepts the role, the "I Am Sam" star will play Volturi vamp Jane, according to Eonline.com blogger Marc Malkin.
A source says, "There were no auditions. They just offered it to her outright, and now they're in negotiations."
The casting news will delight "Twilight" fans. One devotee of Stephenie Meyers' books recently started an online petition calling for the powers that be to sign up Fanning as Jane because she would be "perfect" for the role.
Filming on "New Moon" is scheduled to begin in Italy this spring.

Blizzard's Unreal Real ID
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 NEXT
They've cancelled the forum thing and the friend thing you list in your article Shamus is not entirely telling the truth, sensationalising, the internet news sites become more like fox everyday, you can still add people as normal in-game friends in WoW, you can also choose to add them to your Battle.net friends via Real ID and then see whatever there doing on Battle.net.
Nice lol
The whole concept of having people's real names on a forum just seems like ten tons of suspended "oh no" waiting to happen.
I've been curious if Shamus is still playing Champions Online. I ran into him twice in there, funny toons. My favorite was "Allison Chains"
I really LOL'd at the Felicia Day paragraph and I'm at work.
This article is totally relevant, despite Blizzard taking it back, just because an otherwise sensible corporation was even thinking of doing that. I can only blame the Activision part of this equation.
I recall clear as day a previous quote on these forums that if somebody on the Internet wants to know your identity, that is probably a good reason not to give it to them. Anyway the whole thing is a thinly veiled invasion of privacy issue so thanks for, as usual, taking the right side in this. I'd add you as a friend on Twitter and Facebook but I'm too paranoid to have accounts in them.
I'm sorry Shamus I love your articles but Felica Day was in "Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog." I don't think you can win.
Again Shamus, I'm in total agreement. It's not about 'us', but more about those of 'us' that have a legitimate reason to anonymity.
But thanks for letting me in on this one...
It all makes sense now...
Ouch, that must kind of suck to write such a great article only to have it made null and void by a sudden change of mind.
I'd hate for this system. I played LOTRO and acquired a stalker without knowing it. I sent her a chat log once, long ago, through e-mail and she went back through her e-mails to e-mail me about the game since I haven't logged on in a long time. I think it may have been possible for her to get my real name and all through the facebook group for our Kin. But at the same time, I'm glad I had that extra barrier of protection that Blizzard wanted to take away.
As I've said before I think anonimity is one of the strengths of the Internet, and while Blizzard backed down here, what they wanted to do is part of what seems to be an increasing trend for businesses and such to want to "open up" The Internet so to speak. Oddly I've long felt that if anything the Internet needs more levels of anonimity and identity protection.
What's more I've been of the opinion for a while that there should actually be tighter laws put into place governing what kinds of personal information businesses and such are allowed to gather from customers. I consider it something of an annoyance when you can basically wind up with either providing tons of unnessicary information (if I'm dealing in a purely digital transaction, why does someone need my real life address?, that should only be needed if they are going to be mailing me something). I admit part of why I'm nervous about this is that while I don't do anything wrong, I've noticed there have been lots of shakedowns internationally with ISPs and other online prescences being forced to hand over user information and the like.
The ramifications mentioned above about a totally open Internet are the tip of the iceberg. All outlandish problems aside, I can see this kind of thing leading to a certain amount of guilt by association (ie a site you call has a 'sealed' section that carries Kiddie porn, it's busted, and despite the access flags not being on all accounts everyone on the site gets filed as potential pedos), or simply the fact that for all guarantees of sites not sharing this information with anyone, the laws that back those guarantees are not global. The company goes to China, someone raids the personal info database, and then the next thing you know your on 4600 more Spam lists (and this is part of how it happens).
A lot of the above happens now, but as I said I think even the current semi-anonymous internet is not anonymous enough. Blizzard backing down is a minor victory, and simply the fact that they tried is a bit disturbing.
Blizzard saying they will look into it means they're going to feed the complaints to a Zerg, I think. This column would really foretell doom for this overkill feature, if Shamus' columns weren't almost always spot-on and so almost always ignored.
I'm not sure I want to see John Funk in a one-piece purple Lycra swimsuit.
Then again I'm not sure I want to see Shamus Young in a one-piece purple Lycra swimsuit, either... sorry, Shamus!
I posted a good number of points against RealID in Andy Chalk's thread, and I'm glad to see that you understand the risks as well, Shamus. Quite honestly I'm also glad to see you got ninja'd by Blizzard in this- they couldn't have rescinded this policy too quickly for my tastes. However, like others have said, the fact that they even considered it at all- and that they're not dumping RealID entirely, nor divesting themselves of their Facebook partnership- is worrisome. I want to believe that Blizzard has learned its lesson and can wield the anger of its customers like an epic-level Furious Mace of the Meerkat (+30 to Privacy, +12 mana per five seconds) against Activision's terrible influence, but I just don't have quite that amount of faith at this time.
Interesting article but I have a question which is and isn't related to it. The screenshot on the 2nd page...whats that from? if its WoW...where is that? Cataclysm stuff?
Okay, to play devil's advocate here, what is wrong with the basic RealID and Facebook integration as currently implemented?
RealID's chat is GREAT, since it means I can talk with friends no matter the server, and I found out that like four of my Facebook friends were also in the SC2 beta and was able to add them easily.
That Obama NASA Twilight RROD Gay Military comment!!
You just killed the Internet!
And my sense of humour too. I'll never ever read anything funnier. Curse you Shamus.
Ehh the RealID system in-game is entirely optional, whereas with the forums it was going to be mandatory. So it's no big deal for right now, and I can imagine some people will still find use for it.
Damn gays in the military breakin my xbox.
Nah I don't have an xbox, that'd be silly.
Ask the Germans, they're the ones trying to sue Facebook.
I'm sure there is a lot of good that can come from RealID; but there's also serious problems that come along with it. And simply saying "Well...I've had no problems and I use my real name." is like telling RTA victims that it's their fault because you own a car and have never had an accident.
Sorry, but I feel very strongly about this and simply stating singular benefits (a lot of which aren't even provable) seems to condemn the very issue of having anonymity.
It's there to protect us. Think of it as taking firearms away from the US. Yeah, there's a lot of trolls/gunmen out there, but they'd still find a way to troll/fire without legal ways. And for those who use them for safety, they're stripped of that power - and can't get that power back.
And much as us Brits can live without them, that's because we've adapted.
Voluntary: I've no argument with. Mandatory: I will fight against with all my strength.
This may be obsolete now, but I nevertheless found that this was a very excellent article. I too didn't think too much about famous people, but now that you mention it, I can only imagine how much hell they would go through. I was sorta-famous on the server I played on in WoW, and I would get a lot of messages from people about it that eventually led me to staying away from major cities to try to limit the number of people who knew I was online. I can only imagine what that would be like for someone who is famous in the real world and not just in a small community like I was.
I enjoyed this article, despite it being obsolete.
I still say you should write your dissent if you truly believe that RealID should be implemented as the way Blizzard intended with the forums.
However there is a nuance to your defense of RealID, control, property, and privacy. There is a massive difference in you utilizing RealID to benefit you in which you control who you want to connect to and communicate which allows RealID to be powerful in social networking. Now compare that to you not having control of having your identity simply being given away to a community in which you do not know the people that is freely being given away by Blizzard. The question is, who has control of your property and you privacy between these two situations?
I do agree that there is a very powerful idea that stems from RealID that allows communication between multiple games or servers possible and Blizzard is essentially going that next step further that Steam already has. Blizzard wants the next level of social networking to be an even more open form of Facebook where you will not be able to have those barriers or control that Steam or even the current mess that Facebook offers that has blurred the line between public domain and private domain. There is a high level of marketing that is possible from Blizzard's RealID system should they start to sell that information to other social network sites and companies but that information could of easily been done and has been done behind the scenes but Blizzard wanted to just steamline socializing and marketing into one bazaar.
So I think that if you truly do support RealID that you should write your op-ed on this because of how important an event like this is.
You've never heard of Fox News in the US?
Er, okay, what part of "I've had heavily mixed feelings" on it isn't coming through?
I support personal accountability on the internet. I also recognize that it has problems. RealID had pluses and minuses and people who refuse to see either are... well, either being willfully ignorant or have an agenda.
The sad part here is that people actual fear a bunch of disgruntled geeks on the internet. When did pour society crumble to the point where people are willing to inflict harm because of internet squabbles? Why can't be people just not be assholes?
Hotness, Shamus. Just hotness. You've got the "being a geek" part down, already.
I'm sorry but I didn't get to read everything on the website today so I probably missed a lot going on not only on this topic but in other news posts today as well. So yeah you feelings didn't get through because I didn't read them :P. I love the work you do Funk as well as the rest of The Escapist Staff but even I'm not that obsessed :P.
I would also agree to support accountability on the internet but for me the border is drawn differently on the where. I personally don't want to be held accountable to any employer or police of my posts over a video game comparing to actually posting entries related to my employment or advocating for legislation.
I'd actually guess as you have quoted me that there are some very strong positives to the RealID idea but I disagree on the plan and execution that Blizzard took.
EDIT: I completely forgot to simply put this in my first paragraph. I'm sorry Funk.
I don't have any issue with RealID in that iteration. In fact, I agree with you that as a communications tool, it's awesome.
My whole issue was with the "real names are mandatory" approach combine with the "you have to allow it in order to post" declaration. Yes, real names ARE a powerful thing on the Internet; while it's all well and good that folks such as yourself don't mind having your names out there, some of us feel very differently. I, for one, have a unique name (the site "howmanyofyou.com" tells me I'm the only one with it that it knows of) and much prefer to remain private and "compartmentalize" my online and real-life identities. Why? Several reasons, one of which being that is quite simply how I am. (To be honest, if I were ever offered a position in the Escapist, the fact that I would be writing/posting under my given name would be a significant factor against my acceptance. That, and the fact that I can't really hold a candle to the fine staff here, but I digress.) There is abundant proof that stalkings, attempted kidnappings and rapes, and even murders have occured due to fallout from online gaming into the real world- and giving nutjobs a stepping-stool towards their sick goals is not to be encouraged.
And what would this have gained? "Accountability"? What accountability would my real name grant me on gaming forums that a single, unified "handle" wouldn't? With their new vision of RealID, all my posts would be trackable under a single nickname. If I create an alt called "PalliesRTehSux" and troll the Paladin forums, anyone would be able to look up my universal nick, see that I'm also Streetsweeper who runs in a lot of raids, and react to me accordingly. I would be ruining my own reputation in the gaming community. No real names involved.
And, to be absolutely honest, it seriously seemed to me that more than a few supporters of Blizzard's original plan wanted that to happen- they seemed to have some sick, perverse need to see "trolls" harassed in real life, or even harmed physically. No one here (that I saw, anyway), but there were a few posts on the Blizzard forums that gave me the feeling that their writers were almost smirking with glee at the thought of some poor soul "getting what's coming to him". Do I even need to say what's wrong with that?
I have nothing against opt-in sharing of information. I dislike Facebook and its ilk immensely, but I don't go about decrying it on every street corner- it has its uses and the people who are "into" it get something out of it. But it's not for me, and to tell me that "you have to give up your information or give up a significant part of the game" is a no-go with me. Especially considering the lack of gains and the multitude of issues.
EDIT: For spelling, because I do not wish to anger Zombie Noah Webster.
Just like Facebook, if you don't want your personal information on the forums, you don't use the forums. Problem solved.
I'm still waiting for anyone to give me a real, logical reason why my personal information has to be ON the forums in the first place.
While we are at it, can we:
get rid of everything that requires an internal combustion engine to work(flying machines, mechanohogs and cars) and can we kill Garrosh and Varian? Please Blizzard?
Actually, I know a guy in wow whose real ID and real name I now have...
Celebs probably wrote in under a false name also, so getting their realID junk out won't change a thing...
Still, anonimity is king for all!
Yeah, this is not a hypothetical.
I have a friend was stalked by someone she knew from an internet forum, stalked to the point where the stalker was calling her boss trying to get her fired. The person from the internet forum was a bit crazy and was trying to get my female friend to broken up with her husband so that this crazy stalker could date the husband. Keep in mind, neither my friend, her husband, or the crazy stalker ever met in real life. This happened over an internet forum.
I won't use any system that puts my real name and reputation at risk to the whims of individuals of unknown mental stability.
The Blizzard forums? If that's the case, it's because it's part of Kotick's latest scheme. He doesn't want his loyal customers to have to trouble themselves by going all the way to the game store, or go to all the trouble of logging into a digital distribution service, so he's going to take your personal information and access your credit cards and bank accounts, so he can take all of that money for you.
In all honesty, I think it's part of them trying to eliminate bots in the forums and whatnot, but still, there are much easier ways of doing that.
Don't worry, pretty much every decision that Blizzard has hinted at in the past 3 months has been met with worldwide rage. There'll be plenty more to write about :p
Why do most papers publish editorials unless they are attributed to an identifiable person?
If I go up to you in person and call you ethnic slurs, berate your parentage and make fun of your intelligence, chances are I will have to face the ramifications of my actions then and there. On the internet, where people like to remain anonymous, I can do all these things (and more!) and never have to deal with the reality that my actions have consequences.
I can see why so many people are up in arms about this, it seems that this generation in particular is so self-involved that the very concept of being held accountable is alien to them. How else can you describe the loud backlash against something that is actually normal in our day to day lives; ergo: being identifiable, either through name or face and having our actions associated with our identity?
In terms of the forum rules - I think that the privacy argument here is obviously bullshit. If you do not want your "personal information" on a public forum, then don't post anything to the forum! There, your "privacy" is intact, although I have to admit that I find the idea that you name being associated with your opinion is a violation of "privacy" to be utterly laughable- what's next, complaining that people who are looking at your face on the bus are "violating your privacy?"
Look, my "real id" is associated with this post. It's attached to my Facebook and any escapist columnists complaining about Blizzard in this case are hypocritical bastards. I'm sure the argument they would use is, "Well you have a choice to participate or not and participate in this way - and that's absolutely farking true. People also have the choice to participate in Blizzard's services. I make a choice to participate here, and I make a choice not to hide who I am - this is an easy decision for me since I am an adult and fully acquainted with having to deal with the consequences of my decisions.
So, basically, you're saying that the real problem with the internet is that there isn't the ability for people to do things to offenders in real life? If only those that used racial slurs could be punnished in real life for the things they say on the internet.
And what of minor transgresions? Such as the transgression of being married to a man that a not-all-there internet admirer decides would be happier with her such as the case I wrote about above? Is that just an acceptable loss? Acceptable risk?
And what of the permenance of the internet? As things such as the "Way Back Machine" demonstrate, any small statement is captured for enternity on the internet. In real life, an off-color comment over drinks with friends expires the moment it's said except in the minds of those that hear it. However, on the internet every such a comment is now on public display for eternity. The words never dispear and are archived for anyone in the world to find and see. Currently, that's not a huge issue because pseudonyms create a level of anonymity. But strip that away and every hiring manager, relative in-law, and co-worker can find that off color comment you made 30 years ago.
But I guess all of these are just acceptable losses.
You may be surprised how many celebrities' "names" have little to nothing to do with the names on their credit cards. Would you invade the privacy of "Hedwig Kiesler Markey" or "Laurence Tureaud" off-hand?
Well yes, some celebrities do tend to use aliases when in public. That said, though, it isn't that hard to check what their real name is if you make even a rudimentary search.
Having said that, I have no idea who the two people you mention are. But then again, I am from Europe and not much into mainstream culture, so chances are I wouldn't know of them either way.

Electivire and Magmortar looks like each other (body shape), and they both evolve on the same way. They're pretty similar. I can't see a connection between Houndoom and Luxray, other than their body shape.

If a class definition does not declare a parameterless constructor, a copy constructor, a copy assignment operator, or a destructor, the compiler will implicitly declare them. These are called default operators. A C-like struct has these default operators. When the compiler builds a default operator, it knows a great deal about the work that needs to be done and can produce very good code. This code is often much faster than user-written code because the compiler can take advantage of assembly-level facilities while the programmer usually cannot. So, when the default operators do what is needed, the program should not declare user-defined versions of these operators.
Default operators are inline functions, so do not use default operators when inline functions are inappropriate (see the previous section). Otherwise, default operators are appropriate in the following situations:
The user-written parameterless constructor would call only parameterless constructors for its base objects and member variables. Primitive types effectively have "do nothing" parameterless constructors.
The user-written copy constructor would simply copy all base objects and member variables.
The user-written copy assignment operator would simply copy all base objects and member variables.
The user-written destructor would be empty.
Some C++ programming texts suggest that class programmers always define all operators so that any reader of the code will know that the class programmer did not forget to consider the semantics of the default operators. Obviously, this advice interferes with the optimization discussed above. The resolution of the conflict is to place a comment in the code stating that the class is using the default operator.

Incarcerated rapper Lil' Boosie has obtained his high school diploma while serving time for drug charges.
The hip-hop star, real name Torrence Hatch, was sentenced to eight years behind bars in 2011 and it appears he has been using his time wisely to brush up on his studies.
A photo of Boosie and his family recently surfaced online, depicting the 30-year-old rapper in a traditional cap and gown as his mum proudly shows off his graduation certificate.
The troubled musician recently opened up about his time in prison, telling Spin Magazine he has faced some struggles with security officials.
He told the publication, "It's been hard at times. Some guards hate me with a passion and it shows in some of the things."
Boosie is currently serving time in Louisiana for attempting to smuggle codeine syrup into jail on three separate occasions while imprisoned for a previous drug and gun possession charge.
Corgan took to Instagram to confirm rumours of new Pumpkins material, saying the first songs could arrive as early as May.

Crushers Beat teams from Delaware, Richmond
The '99 Virginia Crushers from Woodbridge started the week disappointed to learn that they would not be able to play up in 14U for the 2012 USSSA Blue-Gray Summer Shootout in Ellicott City, Md. due to an uneven number of teams in each age division. The Crushers understood the tournament directors need to even out the divisions for timely tournament play. Twenty six teams competed in the 12U division this year and even though the temperatures reached triple digits each day, the Crushers perspired and persevered to win the 12U Gold Championship by going 6-0-1.
Submit your news to PotomacLocal.com!
The Crushers got things started in pool play with a 4-1 win against the Tri-State Thunder from Hagerstown, Md. Then a 7-7 tie against a team that has always played us close since 10U, the Diamond State Swoop – Blue from Laurel, Del. The final pool game resulted in an 8-4 victory over the Delaware Magic.
The Crushers went into elimination bracket play as the sixth seed knowing they would have to win four games back-to-back in the heat to win the championship. They started with a 6-0 win against the Maryland Stars from Winfield, Md.
Next came a hard fought 5-3 win against the number three seeded Maryland Magic from Ellicott City. The semi-final game resulted in an 11-3 (5 innings) win over the number two seeded '99 Virginia Glory Elite from Lorton. The championship game was not only against the number one seeded team, but against the only 12U team to defeat the Crushers so far this spring/summer season.
The Virginia Legends from Richmond came into the championship game with a record of 5-0, having outscored their opponents 54-8. The Crushers jumped to a 5-2 lead after the first inning, but the bats cooled down for both teams until the fifth when the Crushers added two and the Legends answered with one.
The Legends found home plate one more time in the sixth, but the Crusher's defense held on for the 7-4 championship win.

Underworld, U.S.A. Reviews
January 18, 2016
good mystery suspenser
½ September 3, 2014
Sam Fuller's films tend to be RAW. That is, they are filled with RAW emotion as characters confront difficult realities. In Underworld U. S. A., Cliff Robertson's criminal father is killed by four shadowy men and as an adult he determines to track them down and wreak his revenge. Performances in Fuller films are stylized (and sometimes amateurish) with blunt pithy dialogue that might get to the point too quick or too overtly. Yet, all of this makes his films compulsively watchable - they are different. Underworld U. S. A. takes a typical noir/gangster plot and runs it through Fuller's brain where it comes out just a little bit weirder. Not intentionally weird, mind you, but RAW.
½ August 18, 2013
Revenge and characters with no redeeming qualities. A stark little yarn about bad people meeting bad ends. Good stuff!
March 19, 2013
Early 60's Noir at its best
December 15, 2012
Action and intensity make up for some second rate aspects--The underworld in glossy B&W!!
½ August 13, 2011
Não existem muitos filmes com um título mais fixe que �Underworld U.S.A.�? e Samuel Fuller nunca falha a marca mínima de três ou quatro momentos antológicos que apetece ver vezes sem conta. No outro prato da balança está uma história de vingança que nem sempre � (C) muito capaz de manter o equilíbrio (entre romance e balas) e o enfoque. Os criminosos são muitos e nem por isso muito carismáticos. Perdoa-me, Sammy, mas este � (C) o teu mais fraquinho que vi at� (C) agora.
March 19, 2011
A tough little gangster noir and quintessential Sam Fuller film.
December 13, 2010
Very, very good. Fuller's strong visuals aside, it's a very good revenge story, more complicated than the usual [i]Yojimbo[/i]-stock, since Cliff Robertson is playing both sides on one level, and then both sides within the criminal organization. He's actually very good in this, and most of the cast is solid. Very strong thriller.
½ December 12, 2010
Another cracker. Fuller's take on the gangster underworld. Great characterisation and dialogue, as per normal, plus a cracking ending. Recommend!
½ October 9, 2010
The early going is quite strong, with plenty of gritty low-life crime action. However, once the protagonist Tolly, a two-bit safe cracker, starts infiltrating the highest echelons of a powerful national crime syndicate, the film strays well beyond the realm of suspend-your-disbelief. Robertson's hammy gangster accent--which comes and goes throughout the movie but grows stronger as the movie weakens in the final acts--doesn't help things (his death scene is so over the top it plays as satire). Also, all the scenes with the federal prosecutor and the crime syndicate bosses are clunky with exposition--i.e. people explaining their jobs and their various scams in ways they'd never have to if they weren't explaining who they were to a movie audience. Still, it's Fuller and so it's worth watching. The plotting, frame composition, and pacing are strong in the first act, and the pacing and composition remain strong throughout even when the plot goes off the rails.
September 28, 2010
A solid revenge film written and directed by the great auteur director Sam Fuller. Cliff Robertson does a swell job playing Tolly Devlin, an ex-convict looking to avenge his father's killers. Richard Rust steals the scenes he's in especially when he is about to kill someone and puts his sunglasses on just before he does so. My first Sam Fuller film and I look forward to watching more of his films. 8/10
September 18, 2010
I know that it is made about 20 years past its prime for the genre, but still, being crafted by Fuller means one thing: it's got balls to spare! It's a great noir, with great direction, and snappy dialogue.
½ August 17, 2010
good ol' revenge plot
April 2, 2010
My judgement might be clouded on this one, I'm predisposed towards disliking Sam Fuller. I tried to consider it on its own merits. Still, I had some issues with it. The performances and characters were very bland to me. I just didn't think any of these people were interesting and I didn't get invested in them at all. Also, and this is harder to put into words, but I got the feeling that Fuller was trying too hard. The roughness, crassness and cynicism seem forced, or too on-the-nose. As a late period (1961) noir, perhaps Fuller was just trying to push the boundaries. But there are some excellent moments and touches: the "shadow murder", the fate of Merkin's daughter, Dolores Dorn sucking on a piece of ice in the most suggestive manner possible. I didn't really enjoy it that much but I can see the appeal for some.
½ January 10, 2010
Another tight crime film by Sam Fuller. This one differed in that in stead of using the format to pass a message about social injustice, it's instead about the obsessive drive to stop the ones who cause it. Robertson seems doomed from the start, and the whole thing plays out in a clever way to keep you interested.
October 19, 2009
A taut and well-photographed crime film with a great lead performance by Cliff Robertson.
February 9, 2009
a pretty gritty gangster/noir. a boy witnesses his father's murder and vows revenge on the gangsters who killed him. it seems a bit graphic considering when it was made. well worth seeing.
September 9, 2008
Wonderful revenge movie that doesn't fall for the cliche' character. Strong movie from beginning to end and Cliff Robertson is a fantastic lead.
August 12, 2008
Tough and uncompromising Sam Fuller movie, with one of those intricate revenge plots that were common in gangster and mob thrillers of the 1950s; this movie came near the end of the cycle in 1961, and it's also interesting because Fuller uses the schema from his PICKUP ON SOUTH STREET (1953) to provide the story with its romantic underpinnings. With Fuller, it's not so much that he's unsentimental as he swings through extremes, so that the sentimentality is caught up short by the in-your-face brutality. A typical example of his approach is the scene where Dolores Dorn and Cliff Robertson discuss getting married: it's done in such an off-hand way that any sentiment is held at bay.

Hi All,
I have 2 Java Programs on 2 different machines , say J1 and J2 Programs on M1 and M2 Machines respectively..
I want to call the J2 Program on M2 to be called by J1 Program on M1 ..
Could someone please suggest someways to do that ?
One of the possible ways I could think if J1 Program is logging through ssh on M2 and call the Java Program J2 , but as I need information to be passed between the 2 programs at different intervals i.e. one program should wait for an input from another program (sometimes J1 has to wait for some information from J2 and vice-versa) , I need some way I could achieve this ..
I will be grateful if someone could suggest some tutorial where I could see this happen , or suggest something that could help me out ..
Looking forward to your response.

For almost five years now, more than 1.5 million people in Gaza have been living under a blockade, a measure imposed by Israel, and later tightened by Egypt, to weaken Hamas and end rocket attacks into Israel. By restricting imports and exports, the blockade has created severe economic hardships. The United Nations says it perpetuates "an unsustainable and unacceptable" situation for the Gazans. So the Gazans have come to rely on an elaborate network of smuggling tunnels to get supplies.
Enter the tunnels of Gaza.
The National Geographic magazine's James Verini and photographer Paolo Pellegrin spent some time six stories down in the vast network of underground tunnels that stretch from Egypt into Gaza -- a network that has become the lifeline for everyday domestic products like wheat and cooking oil, lamb and calves for special occasions, as well as a lion for the Gaza zoo.
Verini portrays a detailed picture of the dangers that are involved in working inside one of these tunnels, many of which are "lethally shoddy" in construction. Despite the dangers involved, he says people operating these tunnels show no fear.
It's no secret that Gaza's tunnel operators are brazen, the more so since the Arab Spring began. Just how brazen was not apparent until we emerged from the market, and an expanse of white tarpaulin tent roofs opened up before us. It stretched along the border wall in both directions, tent after tent as far as the eye could see. Beneath each was a tunnel. They were all in the so-called Philadelphi route, the patrol zone created by the Israeli military as part of the 1979 Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty. All were in full view of Egyptian surveillance towers and sniper nests.
The tunnels provide an opportunity for both aspiring entrepreneurs and those looking for cash. One of the men who had lost his job working on a farm in Israel decided to dig his own tunnel, which was 400 yards long. According to Verini, five to 12 men work in half day shifts inside his tunnel, six days a week and earn about $50 per shift.
You can read the full story by James Verini here. Click here to see more images by Paolo Pellegrin, which are featured in the December issue of the National Geographic.

Eliana and I made this super easy Cat in the Hat lunch to celebrate!
The Cat in the Hat hat is a Wowbutter and honey sandwich on wheat bread. I made her sandwich into a long rectangle--she ate the scraps :) The red stripes are red bell pepper, the white stripes are cheese. The lip of the hat is string cheese. We only had the double twist string cheese so I placed the cheddar side down :) Since the hat wasn't enough food alone we put together an easy bento for lunch which I shared on Instagram yesterday :)
In our EasyLunchboxes we put our Cat in the Hat hat (string cheese had to be slightly trimmed). Our "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish" goldfish are in a fish silicone cup (found at Christmas Tree Shops). On the bottom Eliana chose blackberries for her fruit. This was SUCH an easy lunch to put together and Eliana loved it! I don't have much skill when it comes to drawing so we went with very simple :)

However I didn't realise you could get a simple plastic adapter that plugs into the drive and takes full size sata power and data cables. If you have plenty of sata power points spare use the adapter it's neater, if you've run out and have spare molex, the cable does the job.

Our curriculum program is customized for teen and adult men and women. Unlike a children's program, our teen and adult programs focus on high-intensity fitness and real self-defense that applies in today's world. Most adults can only do so many aerobic classes or run so many solo miles before they start dreaming of something more enjoyable and exciting to do to stay in shape.
This program is also a great way to stay in shape that doesn't become dull or routine because as soon as you get better and learn more there are always more challenges ahead to keep you inspired and coming back to the school. Men and women often join to for the ability to take care of oneself in any potentially dangerous, or uncomfortable situation, even though most of our adults seldom, if ever, get into a fighting situation. They often find themselves, however, in an uncomfortable situation, such as walking to their car late at night or escorting their spouse or friend in a less than secure neighborhood. It's at times like this that martial arts training greatly enhances your ability to take care of yourself, or someone you care for when the time arises.
