"Why so serious?"
God quote from the Joker
- Wesley Gibson, Wanted
1- This is not me following my destiny. This is not me following in my father's footsteps. This is definitely not me saving the world. ... This is not me. This is just a mother-fucking decoy.
2- This is me taking control — from Sloane, from the Fraternity, from Janice, from billing reports, from ergonomic keyboards, from cheating girlfriends and sack-of-shit best-friends. This is me taking back control — of my life. What the fuck have you done lately?"
- Joker, TDK

Simple Conversation with a Corny Dialog that became a Classic:
================================================== =========
John Connor: No, no, no, no. You gotta listen to the way people talk. You don't say "affirmative," or some shit like that. You say "no problemo." And if someone comes on to you with an attitude you say "eat me." And if you want to shine them on it's "hasta la vista, baby."
The Terminator: Hasta la vista, baby.
John Connor: Yeah but later, dickwad. And if someone gets upset you say, "chill out"! Or you can do combinations.
The Terminator: Chill out, dickwad.
John Connor: Great! See, you're getting it!
The Terminator: No problemo.

mmm......I think I already posted some in the quotes thread, but for the missing quotes thread.
S'all about Keyser Soze from the Usual Suspects
Verbal: Who is Keyser Soze? He is supposed to be Turkish. Some say his father was German. Nobody believed he was real. Nobody ever saw him or knew anybody that ever worked directly for him, but to hear Kobayashi tell it, anybody could have worked for Soze. You never knew. That was his power. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that, poof. He's gone.
Dave Kujan: First day on the job, you know what I learned? How to spot a murderer. Let's say you arrest three guys for the same killing. You put them all in jail overnight. The next morning, whoever's sleeping is your man. You see, if you're guilty, you know you're caught, you get some rest, you let your guard down.
Verbal: He lets the last Hungarian go. He waits until his wife and kids are in the ground and then he goes after the rest of the mob. He kills their kids, he kills their wives, he kills their parents and their parents' friends. He burns down the houses they live in and the stores they work in, he kills people that owe them money. And like that he was gone. Underground. Nobody has ever seen him since. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. "Rat on your pop, and Keyser Soze will get you." And no-one ever really believes.
Why don't more people read these mangas?
Billy Madison(adam Sandler)
Bus Driver: That Veronica Vaughn is one piece of "ace". I know from experience, dude, if you know what I mean.
Billy Madison: No, you don't.
Bus Driver: Well, not me personally, but a guy I know...him and her *got it on*! Whoooooo-eeeeee!
Billy Madison: No, they didn't.
Bus Driver: No, no, they didn't. But you could imagine what it'd be like if they did, huh?
Billy says something really stupid in a contest
Game Show host
Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Thanks Blue hime!

No Signature for You!
To the man of famous quotes, Nicolas Cage, and one of the movie I believe was filled with some of his best quotes on the silver screen.
================================================== =============
Nicolas Cage (Lord of War): I sell to leftists and I sell to rightists. I even sell to pacifists, but they're not the most regular customers.
Nicolas Cage: Back then, I didn't sell to Osama bin Laden. Not because of moral reasons, but because he was always bouncing checks.
Nicolas Cage: I sell guns to every army but the Salvation Army.
Nicolas Cage: Of all the weapons in the vast Soviet arsenal, nothing was more profitable than Atvomat Kalashnikova model of 1947. More commonly known as the AK-47 or Kalashnikov. It's the world's most popular assault rifle. A weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple nine pound algemation of forged steel and plywood. It doesn't break, jam, or overheat. It'll shoot whether it's covered in mud or filled with sand. It's so easy, even a child can use it; and they do. The Soviets put the gun on a coin. Mozambique put it on their flag. Since the end of the Cold War, the Kalashnikov has become the Russian people's greatest export. After that comes vodka, caviar, suicidal novelists. One thing is for sure, no one was lining up to buy their cars.
Nicolas Cage: The first and most important rule of gun-running is: never get shot with your own merchandise.
Nicolas Cage: There are over 550 million fire-arms in world-wide circulation. That's one fire-arm for every 12 people on the planet. The only question is.... how do we arm the other 11?
Nicolas Cage: Bullets change governments far surer than votes.
Nicolas Cage: There's nothing more expensive for an arms dealer than peace.

Parks Canada
Home > National Parks of Canada > Glacier National Park > Visitor Information > Brochures > Bears and People
The Canadian Rocky and Columbia Mountains are home to both grizzly and black bears. You can run into a bear anywhere here, be it on a busy trail close to town or in the remote backcountry. Bears generally prefer to avoid people. However, encounters between bears and people do occur. Knowing how to avoid an encounter with a bear is the best way to enjoy the parks, safely. In the event you do come across a bear, it is important to know a bit about bear behaviour. How we respond in an encounter with a bear really depends on the type of interaction that is taking place.
Avoid an encounter | Bear spray | If you see a bear If the bear approaches | Handling an attack
Cyclists and trail runners | Backcountry camping If you see a bear by the side of the road
What happens to a bear when it encounters people? | How you can help protect bears
Bears are extremely sensitive to the stress of human activity. You can help protect these animals by avoiding encounters with them.
Carry bear spray with you at all times on the trail, and know how to use it. Bear spray can be effective with some bears when used properly. Be aware that wind, spray distance, rain, freezing temperatures and product shelf life can all influence its effectiveness. Familiarize yourself with the proper use of bear spray (including the manufacturer's specific instructions) and keep it readily accessible.
What is bear spray and how do I use it?
Stop and remain calm. Get ready to use your bear spray. Do not run away.
Move away quietly without getting its attention.
Bears may bluff their way out of an encounter by charging and then turning away at the last second. Bears may also react defensively by woofing, growling, snapping their jaws and laying their ears back.
If you must proceed, make a wide detour around a bear or wait at a safe distance for it to move on.
Stop and remain calm. Get ready to use your bear spray. Do not run away. Assess the bear's behaviour and determine why it is approaching.
The bear is feeding, protecting its young and/or surprised by your presence. It sees you as a threat. The bear will appear stressed or agitated and may vocalize.
A bear may be curious, after your food, or testing its dominance. In the rarest case, it might be predatory–seeing you as potential prey. All of these non-defensive behaviours can appear similar and should not be confused with defensive behaviours.
The bear will be intent on you with head and ears up.
Most encounters with bears end without injury. If a bear actually makes contact, you may increase your chances of survival by following these guidelines. In general, there are 2 kinds of attack:
This is the most COMMON type of attack.
PLAY DEAD! Lie on your stomach with legs apart and position your arms so that your hands are crossed behind your neck. This position makes you less vulnerable to being flipped over and protects your face, the back of your head and neck. Remain still until you are sure the bear has left the area. These defensive attacks are generally less than two minutes in duration. If the attack continues, it may mean it has shifted from defensive to predatory—FIGHT BACK!
FIGHT BACK! Intimidate that bear: shout; hit it with a branch or rock, do whatever it takes to let the bear know you are not easy prey. This kind of attack is very rare, but it is serious because it usually means the bear is looking for food and preying on you.
Your speed and quietness put you at risk for sudden bear encounters.
To stay safe and protect wilderness, travel with two goals in mind: limiting your impact by avoiding encounters and managing your food, food smells and garbage.
How to keep a "bare" campsite.
Slow down—consider not stopping. Bears need to forage undisturbed in order to gain enough fat to survive the winter. Your decision to drive on by gives bears the space they need to make a living in this challenging landscape.
Tips for Roadside Bear Viewing
The best thing you can do for bears is to limit their exposure to you.
Conservation is not just about bears; it is about protecting the whole ecosystem. Parks Canada has a responsibility to protect wildlife and their habitats. As a national park visitor, you can help protect bears and reduce the likelihood of an unpleasant bear encounter by learning more about bear behaviour. For more information talk to Parks Canada Visitor Centre staff or check out the selection of books on bears and other wildlife at Friends retail outlets in the parks
Give bears the space they need to make a living!

Area hospitals named on top 100 list
March 1, 2013
Residents' health care in northern Colorado apparently couldn't be in better hands.
North Colorado Medical Center in Greeley, McKee Medical Center in Loveland and Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins have all landed on the Truven Analytics list of 100 top hospitals in the country. The results were announced Monday.
The Truven study evaluates 10 areas to make its findings: mortality; medical complications; patient safety; average patient stay; expenses; profitability; patient satisfaction; following clinical standards of care; and post-discharge mortality and readmission rates for heart attack, heart failure and pneumonia, according to a news release. The study has been conducted annually for 20 years.
NCMC is operated by Banner Health, a nationwide nonprofit health care system with 23 hospitals in seven states. The health system also owns and operates McKee.
It's the eighth year Poudre Valley has made the list, as well, according to a news release. Poudre Valley is now aligned with University of Colorado Health.
"The desire to create a safe and ideal outcome for each individual who entrusts their care to us is what drives Banner and all of its hospitals. We hope to build on this success as we enter the era of healthcare reform," Sheldon Stadnyk, Banner Health Western Region chief medical officer, said.
Rose Medical Center in Denver was the only other hospital in Colorado that made the list.
Last week, McKee and NCMC both were recognized by Healthgrades in the top 5 percent of hospitals nationally as Distinguished Hospitals for Clinical Excellence. NCMC was recognized by Healthgrades as a Top 100 Hospital, placing it in the top 2 percent of hospitals nationally.

Skip to comments.Americans 'snapping' by the millions ( record fear, stress, suicide)
Posted on 04/21/2013 2:04:54 PM PDT by Perseverando
Terrorism. Chaos. Fear of the future. In the age of Obama, America is undergoing a fundamental transformation that much everyone knows.
But what few seem to realize about this transformation is that the sheer stress of living in todays America is driving tens of millions to the point of illness, depression and self-destruction. Consider the following trends:
Suicide has surpassed car crashes as the leading cause of injury death for Americans. Even more disturbing, in the worlds greatest military, more U.S. soldiers died last year by suicide than in combat;
Fully one-third of the nations employees suffer chronic debilitating stress, and more than half of all millennials (18 to 33 year olds) experience a level of stress that keeps them awake at night, including large numbers diagnosed with depression or anxiety disorder.
Shocking new research from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that one in five of all high-school-aged children in the United States has been diagnosed with ADHD, and likewise a large new study of New York City residents shows, sadly, that one in five preteens children aged six to 12 have been medically diagnosed with either ADHD, anxiety, depression or bipolar disorder;
New research concludes that stress renders people susceptible to serious illness, and a growing number of studies now confirm that chronic stress plays a major role in the progression of cancer, the nations second-biggest killer. The biggest killer of all, heart disease, which causes one in four deaths in the U.S., is also known to have a huge stress component;
Incredibly, 11 percent of all Americans aged 12 and older are currently taking SSRI antidepressants those highly controversial, mood-altering psychiatric drugs with the FDAs suicidality warning label and alarming correlation with school shooters.
(Excerpt) Read more at wnd.com ...
Top radio talker Rush Limbaugh recently picked up on this normally unspoken aspect of Obamas modus operandi: I think he wants people to snap, opined Rush. I think Obama is challenging everybodys sanity. Obama [is] literally pushing people to snap, attacking the very sanity of the country.
Obama is powerless to affect me in any meaningful way.
All part of the plan to keep us disoriented
Barry and the 'RATS' plan is working just as planned. The phony, banana republic style "election" we had last November really screwed a lot of people up in the head. A lot of people in this country are really depressed.
Yet in 2012, only 6-7 people became mass killers. The FBI defines a mass killing as any single event where 4 or more die, excluding the perp.
Hang in there— the devil ALWAYS overplays his hand. The pendulum swings to the opposite direction too. The roots of deceit can never last.
Passive aggressive people will make people snap.
Not me. I'm becoming more... focused.
"If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for everything" and I'd say Obama's plan for "Fundamental Change" is working well for him.
That's not a "snap" it is surrender.
I know people like this.
As a culture, we have thrown out the living God. As a result, we are without shelter and meaning.
At any time, we may freely repent and return, and God can heal us. If we don't, expect more confusion.
Has anyone looked at the relationship of the huge increase in the prescribing of psychotropic drugs (Ritalin, Effexor, Xanax, etc) and the increase in the suicide rate of people taking them?
I must be pretty tough, been pissed off for over 50 years and haven't snapped yet.
"...Suicide has surpassed car crashes as the leading cause of injury death for Americans..."
Just Damn.
Of course car crashes are down because the Baraqqi Depression has greatly reduced miles driven.
Maybe it's time to offer free handguns for self extermination!!
Lets face it. Collectively, we're pu$$ies. Life is risky. Life has always been risky. And right now, life is the least risky its ever been.
I seriously wonder sometimes what the people who conquered the west, moving to unknown places with nothing more than a wagon, their meager possession, and a hope for a better future, would think if they could see us. Probably disgust and amazement at how we're afraid of our own shadows.
Snap, Crackle & Pop
I have the same basic philosophy as you. I do not give my enemies or anybody else for that matter any power over me whatsoever. I rely on my own self for my health, prosperity and happiness.
That's just it. Those pioneers had hope. Hope that if they got to their destination, if disease didn't take them, if the natives didn't kill them, life would be better. They didn't have to worry about their own government putting them in jail if they dug a well, or drained a swamp, or defended their land, or didn't give half their earnings to the taxman.
What do you do when hope is gone?
Translation....... American women, inherently unstable and unmarried have lost it. Unable to have it all and knowing self esteem is a false goal they are falling apart. Their recourse, the daddy state can not deliver.
Woe is them, woe is them, loser ,loser , loser.
Public Schools are to blame: Bell tells you when to sit. Bell tells you when to stand. Bell tells you when to shiite. Bell, bell, bell. All this in a highly controlled, highly protected and predictable environment. Text books organize every lesson into predictable little bites. End of section quizzes are predicatively included in end of chapter tests. End of chapter test questions are included in finals.
Every thing is neat, easy, wrapped in a bow. Stress is whether or not you are late for the bus. We are a nation of people who expect everything to be safe, easy and predictable. When that doesn't happen... MELTDOWN
Worrying about anything else? Not so much.
Learning how to manage stress and increase resilience during times of economic depression or hardship is important. Honestly I don't know anyone who voted the right way that are simply too unbalanced to accept life when it smacks them around.
Bump. I'm with you guys. And there's lots more of us. We just don't make a lot of noise. Until we're pushed.
Tunnel in the Sky by Robert Heinlein
But Obama did not do any of these things for me. I did them.
Yep, you nailed it. Everyone is crying over hangnails apparently unaware of how lucky and rich (yes, rich) they are compared to their ancestors.
It's ridiculous how upset and worried people are about really trivial and superficial bullcarp, yet have no clue and no skills in the event things really go sideways.
Classic example of misuse of statistics. Suicide rates have been remarkably stable since the 50s. Indeed the male suicide rate per 100k in 2005 was identical to that of 1950: 17.7.
The female rate, however, doubled in that period, but is still WAY below the male rate.
The reason we now have more suicide deaths than auto crash deaths is because crash deaths have gone down, despite many more total miles driven, while suicide rates have remained the same.
in all honesty I think its turned many people from just a flickering candle to virtual spotlights and laser beams of directive energies.
people were in most willing to accept Muslims, not anymore, all I hear is questions of where are any locally and how can we get rid of them.
And how to keep it that way, free from Islamic infiltrators.
Don't worry, raising CAFE standards for gas mileage will put things back in balance.
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose?
Meantime Israel has the lowest suicide rate of all the industrialized countries.
0bama's constant bashing has earned him the title of "Demotivator-In-Chief".
Let's see. Is there more than one possible explanation for this?
Are there more children with ADHD than in the past? Or could this be a case of over-diagnosis of a fashionable new "disease?"
Or, of course, it could be both.
If anybody thinks these standards will be implemented as written he is totally nuts.
We will have multiple extensions and exceptions put in so we can pretend they're being met when they're not.
FORTY FIVE YEARS ago I read about stress then. The article started with how a man missed a stage coach in the 1880s and said,
"Oh well. Another will be along next week!"
But now, the article said, "a man goes into blind rage if he misses the revolving door."
****Maybe its time to offer free handguns for self extermination!!****
In the 1880s cheap $2.00 guns weren't called "Suicide Specials" for nothing.
My wife worked 28 years in Special Education, all I can say is follow the money.
**Suicide has surpassed car crashes as the leading cause of injury death for Americans.**
I don't think this is totally a true statement. How about all the babies killed through abortion?
Yes, the fetus is a baby, the mother is not expecting any longer......the baby is there! And the baby has a soul.

Another great Pair of Matisse Boots
"My first pair of Matisse boots were bought in the DSW store located in Sherman Oaks, Ca.Thank GOD for DSW. I've found my brand for boots. These boots are my 4th pair of Matisse and I love, love them. When I first open the box they looked pretty small, I got nervous and of course, they fit like the most expensive, most comfortable and best looking boots in town. They are made in Brazil. They go with long and short skirts, jeans, and tights. Bravo! Matisse and Thanks DSW for your existence."

"I got these boots for Christmas and they were EXACTLY what I wanted. Since they were leather, I thought the heafty $130 dollars I payed for them was justified. I wore these for two months, and just yesterday THE ZIPPER RIPPED OUT. I am so sad that my favorite pair of boots are unfixable now. I wish the quality would have matched the price."

cute comfy bootie
"Toe is darkened leather vs rest of boot leather for distressed look. Leather upper appears textured/grainy like its not really leather but otherwise a cute bootie and comfy although runs about a 1/2 to full size too long. Love the side zip access. Bought in brown. Will be returning for different size."

Test Reviews
The MINOX ZX5 525x56 scored nicely in 14-scope test review
The precise red illumination helps reticle visibility, and the German glass is bright and clear. We loved the lustrous black finish of the 30mm tube and its mounting dimensions.
Les jumelles BL 8x56 pour l'affût en lumière difficile (FR)
Les jumelles les plus utilisées par les chasseurs pour l'affût crépusculaire du sanglier sont celles à objectifs de 56 mm. Elles sont également appréciées pour la chasse du gibier d'eau à la hutte. Test de terrain des MINOX BL 8x56.
MINOX ZP5 5-25x56 tested in Shooting Sports magazine
2016 has been a ground-breaking year so far and started with me going Metric. For some time I have used a variety of units on a number of scopes but whereas it didn't bother me too much when hunting, my high magnification and precision optics were always M.O.A., no Miliradian. With new metric rangefinders and 1st focal plane delivered into my life, the day has come and I am now an mRad dialler, with 1cm@100m clicks on ALL my scopes and this was the last big decision.
I have shot this MINOX scope type for over 18 months now on several guns, my own personal unit going ont a custom Remington in 260.

The MINOX DCC 14.0 among 4 fun compact cameras with special powers
For more composed shots | Minox DCC 14.0
This Lilliputian shooter looks like a toy or perhaps a gadget the circa-60s James Bond might have carried to surreptitiously snap nefarious goings-on. But the DCC 14.0 is actually a fully functional 14-megapixel camera, styled to look like a classic German-made SLR.
Given its specs, the DCC 14.0 might appear limited at first. The camera has no built-in flash and struggles in low light (not surprising given how tiny its sensor is). Video is captured at a paltry resolution of 640 by 480 pixelsa far cry from your smartphones HD movies.
So beyond its very charming form, why bother toting the DCC 14.0 around? For its surprisingly accurate optical viewfinder, a feature usually found only on larger cameras. Instead of thoughtlessly tapping a touchscreen, you bring a camera with a viewfinder up to your eye and take the time to frame your shot.
Its a small shift that can change the way you think about photographyand its available in a camera thats small enough to pack as an afterthought.
[SHOT 2016 Range Day] Review of the MINOX ZP-8
One scope to rule them all is how I would describe the MINOX ZP-8. Walking by their booth on SHOT Range Day, I was approached by a friendly MINOX representative who said, Want to see a cool riflescope? Sure! I responded. The MINOX representative handed me what appeared to be a low powered rifle scope. The representative told me to dial it up to 8 power, and dial it down. Cranking the scope up to 8 power, then dialing it down, I was pleasantly surprised when I dialed the reticle down to around 3 power and an illuminated red dot appeared on the reticle.

Alarmed by plans for nuclear reactors and long-term storage of highly radioactive fuel rods just four miles from the majestic Green River, more than a dozen organizations and Indian tribes will assemble in Green River, on May 19 at 6 p.m. to protest the plan and launch a national campaign to save the Green and Colorado Rivers from nuclear contamination.
"This issue affects more than just southern Utah residents," said Sarah Fields, director of the citizen group Uranium Watch. "That's why we're seeing involvement from downriver residents like the Fort Mojave and Colorado River Indian Tribes, along with those who live downwind in Colorado and points beyond. The effects of nuclear power are farther reaching than the reactor site and stretch decades if not centuries into the future."
Protestors will assemble at Green River's east end, Exit 164 on I-70, at 6 p.m. on May 19 for a march to "Celebrate and Protect the Green and Colorado Rivers and the Colorado Plateau." The parade will be set against the backdrop of the Book Cliffs and the proposed construction site for the reactors.
Those organizing the protest are motivated by a number of concerns, including finances of the company (Blue Castle Holdings, LLC), the secondary impacts of mining and milling radioactive minerals, and potential threats to regional safety. However, the biggest issue is water. As the Green River flows directly into the Colorado River, the proposed nuclear plant threatens the drinking and agricultural water for people in the Southwest.
"It's foolish to build thirsty nuclear reactors in a desert like this," says John Weisheit, Conservation Director of Moab-based Living Rivers. "The Green River is unreliable. Even the state engineer, when granting the project rights to nearly 48 million gallons of water a day, recognize there will not always be enough water to operate the plant."
To further highlight themes of water, on May 18, at 7 p.m., organizers are also hosting "A Celebration of the Colorado River System: Discussion of Threats and Actions." This event, held at the Moab Arts and Recreation Center, will include traditional singing and dancing from members of Native Nations along the Colorado River, a panel discussion on threats to Colorado River Basin water, and a documentary film about the long-term impacts of nuclear accidents like Fukushima.
Barbara Galler, a Moab resident and spokeswoman for No Green River Nuke says, "It's true everywhere, but especially in the desert: Our survival is dependent on rivers. Granting so much precious water to a company with no experience or credibility in the energy business, for use in the riskiest form of power production, is an enormous mistake. That's why I'm marching."
The company behind the reactor proposal, Blue Castle Holdings, is currently seeking permits from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to site and build the 3,000-megawatt reactors, a process expected to take at least several years. Meanwhile, a coalition of groups, small businesses and individuals opposed to the reactor proposal, many of whom are involved in the protest, has filed a suit in Utah District Court to have the decision to grant the project water rights overturned.
Protest organizers include: Canyonlands Watershed Council, Canyon Country Rising Tide, Colorado River Indian Tribal Members, Fort Mojave Indian Tribe, Greenaction for Health and Environmental Justice, HEAL Utah, Living Rivers, No Green River Nuke, Sierra Club, Peaceful Uprising, Uranium Watch, the Utah Rivers Council and others.

Coffee Crumb Cake
This recipe is long overdue for an upgrade on this site! It was one of my first recipes that I shared when I started blogging way back in 2009. I wrote a cute story about where the recipe came from (my Aunt Nancy B) but didn't even include a photo, wow, not cool!!
This is one of our family's favorites and has been in the family for decades. The best part is that it actually uses COFFEE and adults and kids like it equally, it never lasts long on my counter…
Coffee Crumb Cake
3 cups flour
1 1/2 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground flax seed*
2/3 cup shortening
2 eggs
1 1/3 cups cooled, brewed coffee
3/4 cup chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with non-stick spray; set aside.
Mix all of the dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Cut shortening (I use butter) into dry ingredients. RESERVE 3/4 cup for topping. Add the eggs, and the coffee, stir until mixed well. Pour into a 9 x 13 pan. Top with the flour/sugar mixture and sprinkle the pecans on top. Bake for 35-40 minutes
*I have been trying to add ground flax seed to everything that I can and this is one of those recipes, it wasn't in the original recipe, it's my addition
From Aunt Nancy B.

Los Angeles, CA, June 11, 2012 – Conceptual design studio Buster has produced the worldwide promotional trailer behind Ubisoft's "Just Dance 4" videogame. The work involved both live action production and motion graphics. Brad Roth and Mark Feldstein, principals of Stun Creative, the parent company of Buster, made the announcement.
To view this work, please see:
And Via Youtube:
The trailer announces the worldwide release of the 4th iteration of the best-selling video game franchise from Ubisoft. "Just Dance 3" was the #2 best-selling game worldwide in 2011.
The "Just Dance" franchise is the number one selling dance game brand – an interesting social phenomenon because the real action of this video game genre is inside the room among the dancers/players – as opposed to most video games, where the key action is on the screen. "Just Dance" is a social catalyst, and Ubisoft wanted to express how the newest version of the game truly creates the world's best party.
Said Jonas Morganstein, Buster's Chief Creative Officer, Buster Design, "To visualize how 'Just Dance 4' creates the world's best party, our concept was to create one continuous party sequence – seamlessly taking us from location to location with everyone joining in on the fun. We even brought the avatar coaches out of the video game and into the real world—joining in as part of the continuous dance sequence. This trailer was a great showpiece for Buster's new Creative Director, Joel Lava. He directed the live action, as well as overseeing the animation and compositing."
Adds Kelly Piatanesi, "Just Dance 4" Associate Brand Manager, "'Just Dance 4' is the catalyst for the ultimate party that everyone wants to be part of—with the hottest tracklist, new modes, and quirky, cool dances. The Buster team did an amazing job with the creation and execution of the 'Just Dance 4' announcement trailer, not only by maintaining the essence of the brand, but also by evolving it in a way that truly surprised and delighted our fans. We needed to make a big splash at this year's E3 Conference, and Buster rose to the challenge, by delivering a buzz-worthy trailer that both stands out in an extremely competitive environment, and has gotten the media and consumers excited about the coming of this new game. Mission accomplished and well done!"
The "Good Feeling" (Flo Rida) track is one of the songs on the "Just Dance 4" playlist – the trailer features a cameo from Flo Rida (who currently holds the #1 pop song position with "Wild One.") Rida rapped along live with the trailer at a live launch event at this year's E3 Conference.
Additional cameo appearances within the "Just Dance 4" trailer include many
E-lebrities with multiple million followers on Youtube:
-Harley -- From Epic Meal Time, who wields a gigantic sandwich
-D-trix – A Judge from "So You Think You Can Dance"
-Lindsey Stomp – The World's only dancing violinist
-Shane Dawson - Pop culture comedian
-Cimorelli Sisters – Seven acapella sisters
The new "Just Dance 4" trailer is being released globally this week online (via multiple web distribution channels). Buster released translated versions for multiple regions to support the worldwide release – including the U.S., UK, France, Spain, Austraila, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and Russia.
Buster is a division of the LA-based advertising agency Stun Creative, helmed by principals Mark Feldstein and Brad Roth. Buster is a conceptual design studio, specializing in design and animation for the advertising and broadcast industries.
Led by Chief Creative Officer / Executive Producer Jonas Morganstein, Buster provides its clients with a one-stop solution, by developing and delivering dynamic ideas driven by innovative imagery that always tells a story.

Noreen, affectionately known as Grandma by her family, was very active in Eastern Star, The American Legion Auxiliary, and the Green River Bible Church. She enjoyed playing card games and most especially enjoyed playing Scrabble. She was the core of our family and was always there for the good and bad times and in the end possessed the wisdom to help make even the hardest issues easier to overcome.
She lived her faith and passed on her core values of  treating all people with dignity and respect, not based on their status but on the quality of their character. Her motto as a teacher was "there is no bad child".
She will be dearly missed by those who survive her. Three sons, seven grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren and many friends and former students. Her favorite scripture was John 14:27 and her deep Christian faith guided her through life; a life that was positive, productive and one that brought happiness to those who truly knew her. She now rejoins her husband and one true love of her life; may God bless and keep her forever.
Funeral Services were conducted at 1 p.m. Saturday Oct. 18 with a graveside service immediately following at the Elgin Cemetery.
The family requests no flowers but if anyone would like to make a remembrance donation, please do so in Noreen's name to the Green River Bible Church.

text: I have a wireless setup, I have it encrypted using WEP, I know this isnt that secure but it will keep the majority of people that dont know that much about computers off my internet. But we just got a new neighbor and im worried that he may be using it. What I'm wondering is if there are any network monitoring software, that is free, that I can run while im sleeping/away and it will track who logs onto my network, time, etc... And would there be anyway to mess with his computer if he is on my network? I'm not talking about formatting it or hacking it, just a little warning. Thanks

Mitchell Road Surgery9 Mitchell Road Canford Heath Poole Dorset, BH17 8UETel: 01202 772540
It is best for a patient to follow the same illness through with the same Doctor if at all possible. Evening surgeries are primarily intended for those at work or at school who are unable to get to morning surgery.
Our Nurse Practitioner is available for minor illness of a short term nature. She is able to examine, diagnose and issue prescriptions.
Please note you are now able to book appointments to see your Doctor directly. Please call into the surgery with photographic identification (either passport or driving licence) and your Online Service Registration Details will be issued to you. Thank you.
Smoking is not permitted on practice premises. No dogs except assistance dogs are permitted on practice premises.
We can usually offer you an appointment for routine problems within 24 hours but will always offer one within three working days of your request. If your problem cannot wait that long, you will be offered an appointment at the next available surgery but, in some cases, you may not be able to see your own Doctor. If the problem is of a more minor nature, our Nurse Practitioner is available for examination, diagnosis and treatment.
In some circumstances, you may be put through to the Doctor who may be able to help with a telephone consultation.
If the problem is genuinely urgent and no appointments are available, you will be "slotted in" as an extra for the current surgery. Please telephone the receptionist first so you can be advised of the best time to come, making the urgent nature of the consultation clear. Although it may be helpful to have some idea of what may be wrong, you are not required to discuss the specific nature of the problem with the receptionist.
An appointment system is in operation on the following telephone numbers :
If possible please try to telephone reception before 10am if you require a home visit.
A doctor or nurse may phone you back as it may be that your problem can be dealt with by telephone advice, or that it would be more appropriate to send a District Nurse, or indeed arrange a hospital attendance.
House visits are only available for patients who are housebound because of illness or disability.
Please remember that several patients can be seen in the practice in the time that it takes to make one home visit. There are also better facilities for examining and treating patients at the Surgery.
A Doctor is always available for urgent cases. Please telephone 01202 772540 giving your name, address and telephone number together with some idea of the nature and urgency of the visit. In extreme emergency or case of severe chest pain dial 999 and ask for an ambulance.
In cases where a nurse opinion over the telephone is required, ring NHS Direct on 1 1 1.
The "morning after pill" is available and effective up to 72 hours from unprotected intercourse but the sooner it is taken, the greater the chance of success. Please ask for an appointment to see a Doctor or the Nurse Practitioner at the next available surgery. In certain circumstances the coil can be fitted after this time.

"Traitors to the Chinese race (hanjian)": Political and cultural campaigns against collaborators during the Sino-Japanese War of 1937--1945Xia, Yun, 1982- (University of Oregon, September , 2010)[more][less]Xia, Yun, 1982- 2011-05-20T22:07:47Z 2011-05-20T22:07:47Z 2010-09 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/11185 xv, 322 p. : ill. A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries. Search the library catalog for the location and call number. This dissertation examines formal and popular campaigns against collaborators during the second Sino-Japanese war of 1937-1945, considering the role of these campaigns in the political struggles of the Nationalist (Guomindang) government, the interplay between discourses of law and morality, and the interactions of legal professionals, intellectuals, and commoners in the development of Chinese nationalism and anti-imperialism. During the Sino-Japanese war, the Japanese army occupied vast areas in China and sponsored puppet regimes at central and local levels in areas under its occupation. These regimes variously attracted, persuaded, or forced a large number of Chinese officials, intellectuals, and local elites to work in their administrations. The Nationalist government under Chiang Kai-shek, which was the central Chinese government since 1928, retreated to the inland city of Chongqing to organize resistance against Japan. The Nationalist government labeled collaborators as hanjian , "traitors to the Han." The word became widely used in legal regulations, popular literature, and newspapers and became the most derogatory and politically disastrous title possible for a Chinese citizen. Individuals designated hanjian were exposed to public humiliation, confiscation of land and property, and the threat of assassination. Chiang Kai-shek's government also called for the common people to expose hanjian . Most such accusations were then transformed into legal procedures. These accusations resulted in varying and often unfair sentences. Designed by the Nationalist government to harness the force of popular nationalism and to restore justice, the anti- hanjian campaigns instead inadvertently exposed the corruption and incompetence of the Nationalist government and damaged the post-war construction effort.

The Easton Synergy EQ50 hockey gloves offer a modern twist on a traditional 4-roll glove.
Easton has used both nylon and anodized synthetic leather on the exterior of the EQ50 glove. The anodized synthetic leather has been used on the outer portion of the EQ50 glove to increase durability while the nylon offers a lightweight and increases the overall breathability of the glove.
As far as protection the EQ50 features dual density foams for great protection. Easton has also given the thumb a flex feature but it also has a dense plastic insert so protection is not compromised. The EQ50 features an adjustable cuff similar to the S19 glove. This is a great feature because it really allows for you to customize the cuff as well as differentiate the length of the cuff on your upper and lower hand. Say you want a longer cuff on your lower hand for protection but would like it shorter on your top hand for mobility. With the Easton adjustable cuff they have you covered.

- Heritage: Synergy Glove
- Level of Play: Ideal for advanced to pro level of play

Comments: Got these after my S19's wore out and i like these much better! Great durability and good mobility with the 3 piece fingers!
From: Simon, Canada
Comments: I bought these gloves from Ice Warehouse about half a year ago. I used them right out of the box and they felt great for a brand new gloves, they pretty much felt like they were already broken in. To this day the gloves are holding up strong. The feel the glove gives you when you stick handle is great. I have always bought Easton products because I know they will last. The gloves leather palm hardly wears from the grip on your stick. Also my gloves still don't smell like the rest of my hockey equipment yet. The only problem I had with the gloves was when I bought them I ordered the royal color but when the came they said that they where royal it just looked really dark for royal. I am extremely satisfied with this product, next time I have to purchase hockey equipment I'm going with IW.
From: Luke, PA
Comments: Gloves are incredibly comfortable, durable and provide excellent grip of any stick due to the palm construction. Also fairly light and great protection. However, the "Adjustable cuff" is ridiculous. If you adjust it to the shorter length, you stuff the extra material into the glove and restrict your wrist movement. If you leave it extended, the glove is too long and the already small/narrow wrist cuff becomes longer and thus extremely cumbersome and restrictive as well. I bought these hoping there would be enough room for my wrists (on the longer setting) after they broke in but I was sadly mistaken. I bought a pair top of the line Easton synergy gloves in 2004 and used and loved them for at least 6 years so I wanted to stick with Easton, but it looks like I'll be switching brands as soon as I can afford it.
From: Dominic
Comments: I've had these gloves for almost a full season now and so far, I love them! But, first let me talk about the negative stuff. The adjustable cuff is a joke. It can adjust to an inch less or more off the glove. If you adjust an inch less, the excess material is shoved into your glove which restricts your wrist movement. It seemed like a good idea, but doesn't quite work out. The seamless index and pinky finger aren't exactly seamless. There is another piece of leather that goes over your entire palm. So you can feel a gap in the two leathers. The gloves bunch less, but they didn't fit that tight around my fingers at first. Now that I have played with them for a while, they feel much better. The best part about this glove is its weight. They are super light and airy. My old CCM Vector 10's were heavy and they held a lot of moisture in them. These Eastons seem to air out faster and even during gameplay they stay dryer than my other gloves. They still get wet from the sweat off my hands, but they don't hold much moisture. The gloves look freaking awesome too. They are super shiny and the construction of them is pretty decent. The leather used in these gloves are very soft. I feel like I have a lot more control with these gloves than other gloves I've used. The gloves fit nicely on my hands. They aren't too tight and they aren't too loose. I guess they did the sizing right, or I just have the perfect Easton glove hand size haha. Overall I would get these exact same gloves over again. If you can't afford them, the eq30's are probably just as good. The difference is the adjustable cuff that doesn't really work, the goat leather, and the shinier fabric. I'm guessing both gloves are pretty awesome.

Skip to comments.Sahara Desert Greening Due to Climate Change?
Posted on 08/02/2009 6:38:05 PM PDT by reaganaut1
Desertification, drought, and despairthat's what global warming has in store for much of Africa. Or so we hear.
Emerging evidence is painting a very different scenario, one in which rising temperatures could benefit millions of Africans in the driest parts of the continent.
Scientists are now seeing signals that the Sahara desert and surrounding regions are greening due to increasing rainfall.
If sustained, these rains could revitalize drought-ravaged regions, reclaiming them for farming communities.
This desert-shrinking trend is supported by climate models, which predict a return to conditions that turned the Sahara into a lush savanna some 12,000 years ago.
Green Shoots
The green shoots of recovery are showing up on satellite images of regions including the Sahel, a semi-desert zone bordering the Sahara to the south that stretches some 2,400 miles (3,860 kilometers).
Images taken between 1982 and 2002 revealed extensive regreening throughout the Sahel, according to a new study in the journal Biogeosciences.
The study suggests huge increases in vegetation in areas including central Chad and western Sudan.
The transition may be occurring because hotter air has more capacity to hold moisture, which in turn creates more rain, said Martin Claussen of the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, Germany, who was not involved in the new study.
"The water-holding capacity of the air is the main driving force," Claussen said.
He added that the greening trend is supported by other satellite data.
Not a Single Scorpion
While satellite images can't distinguish temporary plants like grasses that come and go with the rains, ground surveys suggest recent vegetation change is firmly rooted.
Throughout North Africa, new trees, such as acacias, are flourishing, according to Stefan Kröpelin, a climate scientist at the University of Cologne's Africa Research Unit in Germany.

global warming ping
I remember reading a while back that increasing level of C2O is causing our planet to become greener. It makes sense, as plants require c2o the way humans require o2.
Don't know about the Sahara but I'm pretty sure that climate change brought an end to the Ice Age.
Simply amazing!! /sarc
...deserts returning to forests?...sounds good to me...I'm already thinking about an orange grove in my backyard....and I presently live in USDA plant hardiness zone 6 (0 to -5)minimum range.
'The desert crocodiles have adapted to the changing environment in northern Africa; 8,000 to 10,000 years ago, what is now desert was probably lush savannah and grasslands. Today the Sahara is hot and arid, the land sandy, rainfall minimal, and vegetation sparse.
"The extension of range almost certainly reflects climatic changes," said Ross. "We know that even in Roman times, the Sahara was much wetter and greener than it is now. As these places slowly dried up, remnant populations became isolated from the other crocodiles on the continent. How these populations adapted to the changing conditions is most interesting." '
Shocking how there is climate cycles. /S
Why can't these GW scientists admit that the earth has always changed, and species have always morphed into new species and died off.
Why did I take science in elementary school?
More recently, the fall of the Western Roman empire was precipitated by (among many other things) the Vandals in their sweep through what is now Spain and their capture of northern Africa, significant because that was Rome's granary. Yes, they grew wheat there ("corn" if you're reading Gibbon), enough to support an imperial city. That was not quite 1600 years ago.
Wheat in North Africa. Wineries in Britain. These things are all a part of the historical record, and any climate model that can't account for them is simply inadequate.
I guess the chariots stirred up a lot of global warming back then.
The ice caps can't melt and submerge Washington DC soon enough!
"The transition may be occurring because hotter air has more capacity to hold moisture, which in turn creates more rain, said Martin Claussen of the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, Germany, who was not involved in the new study."
Let me get this straight. The desert is already hot. But, if it gets hotter it will become greener. OK, got it.
Is this like boiling something until it freezes?
Interesting, that in the "end times":
Isa 35:1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
I watched the series "Rome"...Cleopatra's Egypt was the primary grain supplier for all of Rome. Right?
[Let me get this straight. The desert is already hot. But, if it gets hotter it will become greener. OK, got it.
Is this like boiling something until it freezes?]
Deserts are defined by their being dry - not by being hot - there are plenty of cold deserts. If the global atmospheric temperature rises by a small amount, then the moisture carrying capacity of the air will increase by a proportionate amount. More water vapor in the air = more precipitation worldwide. And more precipitation worldwide = shrinking deserts.
The era when Rome flourished was also a period of relative warming. Hmm.
At that time, it was Rome's primary source of imported wheat.
Other important sources were Sicily and Africa - that would be mostly modern Tunisia.
There are many remains of rich Roman towns in Tunisia and eastern Algeria, that once thrived on agriculture.
The climate can change for the better? Who knew?
Unfortunately for them, this particular story cannot be spun negatively.. The Sahara even lacks that old standby of climate-change hysteria, cute animals threatened by a greening climate. So they are forced through gritted teeth to report it straight.
Science detached from politics. What a concept.
They also left out the fact that greening the Sahara is a negative feedback.
Oh no not rain in the desert. This could be the end. /sarcasm
"What's up doc?"
"Global warming"(aka "climate change") is just a tin pan that the elitists bang on to scare the sheep into the pen. Ever notice that whatever the crisis is at the moment, the solution is always the same?
Tells me that it's all about the "solution", and not about the crisis.
Now, if we could only get him... to pee in the ocean to complete the cure for global warming!
Hey? I'm doing... my part!
Acacias are more like thorn bushes than trees. They are adapted to dry conditions. They resist evaporation and hoard water, making them able to survive on little. They stand up well to constant drying winds. They are small and stunted.
I have seen them everywhere on desert islands like Bonaire, NA. They remind me of our own prickly ash, useful mainly to goats and burros, of which there are lots in areas full of acacias. They make good livestock fences. I do seem to recall some sort of seed pods, which perhaps are an animal/bird feed. They will hold the soil, however, such as it is in these sorts of places, where it is mostly sand that needs to be sifted to remove the donkey dung before being amended in order to be used for anything.
But, maybe this is just to get started on NatGeo remaking its credibility.
Thanks for this post! I am sending the link along to some friends of mine.
>>>This desert-shrinking trend is supported by climate models, which predict a return to conditions that turned the Sahara into a lush savanna some 12,000 years ago.<<<
~~~During the last ICE age.~~~
I was thinking the same thing. The last ice age was also a great time to live in the American West, too - huge freshwater lakes, forests in the hills.
However, the headline talks about "climate change," which is constant and would occur without humanity. The nice thing about climate as a propoganda weapon is that, as the cliche goes, everyone talks about it, and in a nice twist, only centralized leftist policy can do anything about it.

Comfy and Cute but Cheaply made
"I love the sparkle on these sandals! I bought them to wear on vacation in Las Vegas. I was going to be doing a lot of walking so I wanted pretty sandals that were also comfy. These are really comfy and I love the style. However, after only about 2 days, many of the gems began to fall off and the sole on the bottom started to come apart. I still love them but I wouldn't recommend doing a whole lot of walking in them. Also, I bought these in the store, so I was able to try them on. I usually wear a 7 but I bought these in a size 6 because they run big."

These are the best artichokes I have ever tasted. The price is great. The quality of the brand is excellent. I tell my family and friends about this. Of course, not everyone is in to artichokes. I used to eat them raw as a child. I never forgot the taste.

This was my first time trying Artichoke Hearts in a tin. Flavourwise, they didn't compare to nicely prepared artichoke hearts at a restaurant which I love. However, I love the fact that they were all natural, just organic artichoke hearts preserved in water, salt, citric acid and ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Bought them as part of my liver/gallbladder healing protocol, but will stick to artichoke heart extract for the best bang for the buck.
