Get in[edit]
The A Coruña airport (Alvedro) is located in the Culleredo municipal limits, 8 km from A Coruña. It has national and international connections and it is operated by Iberia, EasyJet, Vueling and TAP Air Portugal. There are some international connections (to London Heathrow, Amsterdam Schiphol, Istanbul and to Lisbon) and frequent national connections (mainly to Madrid and Barcelona, several flights a day). You can get to the airport by local bus (departing each 30 min.) or taxi. The (larger) airport of Santiago de Compostela (Labacolla) is an alternative, 50 Km. from A Coruña.
The train station (San Cristóbal) is close to the bus station. The train service is operated by RENFE, and there are long distance services to Madrid, Barcelona and the French border. Local services connect A Coruña with most other important Galician cities.
The bus station has numerous connections both international (operated mainly by ALSA) as well as numerous local services, operated by (among others) Arriva Noroeste, Autos Cal Pita or Monbus. Some local connections include the immediate metropolitan area (municipalities of Oleiros, Culleredo, Sada, Betanzos...), as well as most of the Costa da Morte area, Ferrol/Rías Altas. There are relatively frequent connections with the Lugo coast (Ribadeo, Viveiro, Foz...).

...the catch at the end of the half in todays Bengals/Chargers game was ruled a catch, while the Calvin Johnson catch against the Chargers a couple seasons ago in the end zone was NOT ruled a catch?
It's these kinds of interpretive rules in football that make me hate this league so much.
To this day I still can't believe the Calvin Johnson-in-the-end-zone catch didn't count.
What happened to the ground not being able to cause a fumble?

text: Plymouth Township-based ProNAi Therapeutics Inc., a maker of cancer drugs, has closed on what is believed to be the largest single round of venture capital funding in state history, a series D round of $59.5 million.The previous record is believed to have been set by Ann Arbor-based QuatRx Pharmaceuticals Co., which raised a round of $44 million in 2007. No official database of venture capital funding exists.ProNAi is expected to be gearing up for an initial public offering later this year. Company President and CEO Mina Sooch declined comment about an IPO. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission frowns on company executives talking about possible public offerings.The round was led by Vivo Capital of Palo Alto, Calif., one of nine new investors in the company.The oversubscribed round included previous investors Milwaukee-based Capital Midwest Fund, Apjohn Ventures of Kalamazoo; the Amherst Fund of Ann Arbor; and the Grand Angels of Grand Rapids."This financing is a transformative milestone in ProNAi's 10-year history and follows the clinical results recently reported by the company and its clinical investigators," said Sooch. "We are pleased to have attracted such an experienced and well-regarded group of investors. Their support of this financing will allow us to execute our plans with greater speed and broader reach."In January, ProNAi raised a VC round of $12.5 million. At the time, Sooch told Crain's that the company would soon raise another round, with a target of $30 million that was easily surpassed. She said, then, the plan was to raise the bigger round and then do an IPO before the end of the year.That's all dramatic news for a company that had struggled for funding for years and was considered on its death bed more than once."This is an impressive round and probably the biggest venture capital round ever raised by a state company. Congratulations for Mina and her perseverance. This is a company that coulda, woulda, shoulda died several times," said Jim Adox, chairman of the Ann Arbor-based Michigan Venture Capital Association and managing partner of the Ann Arbor office of Wisconsin-based Venture Investors LLC.Adox is not an investor in ProNAi.The funding flurry and the possible IPO grew out of a presentation the company made in December at the annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology, a major conference that drew 30,000 to New Orleans.The presentation was on results of Phase 2 U.S. Food and Drug Administration human trials of ProNAi's lead product, a molecule with the working name of PNT2258. Twelve patients had been enrolled who had non-Hodgkin lymphoma that had been treated unsuccessfully with conventional therapies, including radiation.At the time of the presentation, four of the 12 were in remission, and in 10, the tumors shrank. One of those in remission is a woman in her late 60s who had tumors in her abdomen, neck and chest. Another was a 40-year-old man whose tumor was so aggressive it had fractured his spine and packed his bone marrow with cancer cells.Both had life expectancies of between six and 12 months before treatment. After six months of treatment, both appeared to be disease free. And, unlike chemotherapy and radiation, PNT2258 appears to have few side effects.After the conference, the New York City research and brokerage firm of Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. LLC issued a report on the conference that included ProNAi on its list of four emerging companies to watch.The "NAi" in the name comes from "DNAi," a biotech shortcut for DNA interference, which refers to a way of using single strands of DNA to target specific disease-causing genes. In this case, PNT2258 targets the gene BCL2, which produces a cancer-causing protein.ProNAi was founded in 2004, though it traces its history to 2001 and to the work of Reza Sheikhnejad, a scientist at Wayne State University and the Detroit-based Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute.WSU and Karmanos declined to pursue patents on Sheikhnejad's work, so he funded a patent himself and assigned it to ProNAi, an early portfolio company of Apjohn Ventures in Kalamazoo.Tom Henderson: (313) 446-0337, [email protected].

The Hague Transavia Grand Slam | 15 - 20 juillet 2014
The Hague, The Netherlands, July 16, 2014 - After a competitive qualifier to determine the last eight men's berths for this week's FIVB World Tour event in this European country, Wednesday's action continued to provide "seed-break-throughs†as competition was held at three sites in The Netherlands.
With six of the eight qualifying teams posting "seed-break-throughs†to get a spot in the "money†rounds of the US$1-million Transavia Grand Slam presented by Bas Van de Goor Foundation, five of Wednesday's 16 pool play matches were "upsets†where highly-regarded Beach Volleyball tandems from Brazil and the United States were defeated by teams from Austria and Italy.
With the Transavia Grand Slam being the ninth men's event on the 2014 FIVB World Tour, 12 of the men's pool play matches were staged Wednesday on the four sand courts on Scheveningen beach. Two matches each were also played on specialty-made set ups in the Marktplein at Apeldoorn and the Gustav Mahlerplein in Amsterdam.
Alex Ranghieri and Andrea Tomatis posted Wednesday's top "seed-break-through†as the 22nd-seeded Italians scored a 2-1 (16-21, 21-17, 15-12) win over 11th-seeded Ryan Doherty and Nick Lucena of the United States in 48 minutes on The Hague Beach Stadium center court. While the Italians have posted a ninth, 17th and 25th in their last three international events, Doherty and Lucena had earned podium placements in two of the last three FIVB World Tour stops in Germany and Switzerland.
"We played terrible in the first set and at the start of the second one,†said Tomatis. "Since it was the first-time we played them, we had no set strategy at the start of the match. Once we changed our serving pattern, we starting playing better and siding out consistently. Alex's blocking and my defense got better as the match progressed. It was the key to our winning.â€
Austrian "upsets†were posted by the tandems of 20th-seeded Clemens Doppler/Alexander Horst and 21st-seeded Alexander Huber/Robin Seidl on the Scheveningen beach outer courts. Doppler and Horst, who placed third in the 2014 European Championships last month in Italy, scored a 2-1 (15-21, 21-14, 5-12) win in 46 minutes over 13th-seeded Jake Gibb and Casey Patterson of the United States.
Huber and Seidl, who avoided Tuesday's qualifying upsets, scored a 2-0 (23-21, 22-20) win in 48 minutes over 12th-seeded Vitor Felipe and Evandro Goncalves of Brazil. It was the second-straight week that Huber and Seidl had posted a pool play win over the Brazilians after also winning in two sets last week in Switzerland.
Although considered a "seed-break-throughâ€, 19th-seeded Alexandr Dyachenko and Alexey Sidorenko of Kazakhstan won by forfeit over 14th-seeded Michal Kadziola and Jakub Szalankiewicz of Poland in Amsterdam. After his team won the first set 21-18, Szalankiewicz was forced to retire with his team trailing 17-13 in the second set due to a back injury.
"I think we were controlling the game,†said Kadziola after comforting his partner. "We still had some points to gain back in the second set, but this is sport,†he explained. "Injuries always happen. We use our bodies for seven or eight months a year and sometimes these things happen. I'm still not sure Jakub will be ready for tomorrow.â€
In one of the final matches Wednesday at Scheveningen beach, 23rd-seeded Sebastian Dollinger and Lars Fluggen defeated seventh-seeded compatriots Jonathan Erdmann and Kay Matysik Germany 2-0 (21-18, 21-19) in 36 minutes. Dollinger and Fluggen now play reigning FIVB Beach Volleyball world champions Alexander Brouwer and Robert Meeuwsen Thursday morning as the Dutch pair opened pool play Wednesday with a victory over a team from Switzerland.
The action for the final three days of the competition will be staged only at the Scheveningen courts where the medal matches will be played Sunday. The final two teams in both gender's competition with be competing for the gold medals and a share of the $70,000 first-place prize for each winning team.
Following this week's event, the FIVB World Tour returns to the United States for the second-straight year as Long Beach in southern California hosts another $1-million event. The international circuit returns to Europe in August for stops in Austria (Klagenfurt, July 29-August 3) and Poland (Stare Jablonki, August 19-24).

Hey Alaskans! Wanna be in a movie starring Drew Barrymore? Then your dream may come true.
The Hollywood's actress upcoming movie, "Everybody Loves Whales," is scheduled to shoot in mostly Anchorage this September, and the film's production company is looking for extras, The Anchorage Daily News reported. Barrymore will portray a Greenpeace worker and John Krasinski of the NBC sitcom "The Office" plays a newspaper reporter.
In a phone interview to the newspaper, executive producer Stuart Besser said that the filmmakers are looking for Alaskans to fill dozens of roles. "There's at least 1,000 extras, and there are probably about 30 to 40 speaking roles that we would attempt to get in Anchorage."
U.S. & World
"Everybody Loves Whales" is based on a true story about the attempt to rescue three trapped gray whales near Barrow, Alaska in 1988, said the newspaper. Two of the whales managed to escape thanks to a Soviet icebreaker, while the third disappeared and perhaps died.
The newspaper also said that the filmmakers plan to employ construction workers and prop and wardrobe people in addition to the extras and actors. The movie will reportedly cost $30 million.

Joe Bonamassa
Tour De Force: Live In London-
Joe Bonamassa
Tour De Force: Live In London-
Royal Albert Hall
Nr/2 Dvd
Release Date: 10/29/2013
Tour De Force - Live In London chronicles Bonamassa's atmospheric rise from the intimate club environment of The Borderline, to the prestigious Royal Albert Hall. Each individual evening was marked by a unique theme with different set lists, arrangements and ensembles providing the viewer with four unique performances. His journey begins in the intimate setting of the 200-capacity London Borderline with a three-piece band. The result is a jammy tribute to Bonamassa's earlier career, with songs he hasn't played live in years. Next is a blues-themed night at Shepherd's Bush Empire, featuring a horns section to create a soulful, big-blues-band feel. He then moves to the Hammersmith Apollo which opens with a short acoustic set before moving into a rock-inspired evening. Finally, at the Royal Albert Hall, Bonamassa treats the crowd to a half acoustic/half electric show of his most popular and wellknown songs, featuring the acoustic band from his most recent release, An Acoustic Evening at the Vienna Opera House. Each night's performance features a different selection of songs - over 60 in total and some having never been performed live before - from his extensive career beginning with 2000's A New Day Yesterday. The end result more than lives up to its billing as "The Guitar Event of The Year" and sees Bonamassa reliving, revisiting and redefining the many phases and pivotal moments throughout his career over the course of four evenings. It goes without saying that the challenge was daunting, but Bonamassa more than picked up the gauntlet after it was thrown down and delivers a once-in-a-lifetime performance that more than serves as an appropriate career retrospective for an artist who has already achieved so much.

" The PCs are hired by undead to rid their village community of an invasive necromancer. As the PCs make their way, wherever they are going, they spot two zombies. The zombies approach but before the cleric can turn them, one starts throwing coins at the PCs while the other pleads with them, unable to pronounce the letters 'L' and 'H' due to some missing gums. 'Peeth issen...no 'arm...coin...peeth issen!' If the PCs don't slaughter the two zombies immediately, they will eventually come to learn that the two were chosen to find help by their brethren. The zombies want to hire the PCs to rid their community of an unwanted pest. An opportunistic necromancer. Apparently, a small benign community of undead have taken residence in an abandoned village, living out their undeath as peacefully as the undead can. Recently, a malicious necromancer has invaded the village, and plans to enslave the entire populace with his malignant spells, raising a small army. The PCs must battle the vile necromancer, even as he animates the very folks who hired the PCs in the first place, to slaughter them."
" A magic speaking sword of great power-which is also a racist, obnoxious and unpleasent, so much so that those who carry it often *gag* the hilt of it, the taking part, with cloth to shut it up."
" It was common belief in medieval times that goods and property could only be affected by the Fair Folk, the faeries, if it was acquired unlawfully or unfairly."

Eliezer "Elie" Wiesel KBE (English pronunciation: /ˈɛli vɨˈzɛl/; born September 30, 1928) is a Romanian-born Jewish-American writer, professor, political activist, Nobel Laureate, and Holocaust survivor. He is the author of 57 books, including Night, a work based on his experiences as a prisoner in the Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps.
When Wiesel was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986, the Norwegian Nobel Committee called him a "messenger to mankind", stating that through his struggle to come to terms with "his own personal experience of total humiliation and of the utter contempt for humanity shown in Hitler's death camps", as well as his "practical work in the cause of peace", Wiesel had delivered a powerful message "of peace, atonement and human dignity" to humanity.
Wiesel was born on September 30, 1928, in Sighet, Transylvania, (now Sighetu Marmaţiei), Maramureş, Kingdom of Romania, in the Carpathian Mountains. His mother, Sarah Feig, was the daughter of Dodye Feig, a celebrated Vizhnitz Hasid and farmer from a nearby village. He was active and trusted within the community, and in the early years of his life had spent a few months in jail for having helped Polish Jews who escaped and were hungry. It was his father, Shlomo, who instilled a strong sense of humanism in his son, encouraging him to learn Hebrew and to read literature, whereas his mother encouraged him to study the Torah. Wiesel has said his father represented reason, and his mother Sarah promoted faith (Fine 1982:4). In his home, his family spoke Yiddish most of the time, but also German, Hungarian and Romanian. Wiesel had three sisters – older sisters Hilda and Beatrice, and younger sister Tzipora. Beatrice and Hilda survived the war and were reunited with Wiesel at a French orphanage. They eventually emigrated to North America, with Beatrice moving to Montréal, Canada. Tzipora, Shlomo and Sarah did not survive the war.

Rohirrim Bonnet
I made this bonnet up for a swap that I did on Ravelry in the LOTR (Lord of the Rings) group. The Realm of Rohan and the People of Rohirrim were my inspiration.
I used a G hook and worsted weight yarn. Changing hook size and yarn will change the size of the bonnet. Or you can simply add more chains.
Row 1) Leaving a long ch for seaming, ch 65, dc in 3rd ch from hook and in each ch accross.
Row 2) ch2, (counts as first dc now and through out) dc in next st and in each st accross.
Row 3-11) Repeat row 2. You can add more rows for a wider bonnet.
Row 12) ch2, dc in next st, * skip next st, dc in next st, keeping hook towards front go back and dc in skipped st, (this creats an X like stitch) repeat from * accross to last 2sts, dc in last 2 sts.
Row 13) ch2, * skip next st, dc in next st, keeping hook towards fron dc in skipped st, repeat from * accross to last st, dc in last st.
Row 14) ch1, sc in first st and in each st accross. DO NOT fasten off
Folding bonnet in half use long ch to seam up the base ch, weave in ends
Pick up yarn where you left off and ch1, sc evenly accross bottom of bonnet. Fasten off, weave in ends.
I used a double strand of yarn with a larger hook for ties by chaining about 45-50 ch
and attached to sides of bonnet towards the front.
ch5, sl st in first ch, * ch5, sl st in first st, repeat from * 3 more times, or add a few more or less for petals. attatch to bonnet.
Please let me know if there are any mistakes you might find or typos. I sent this out before I wrote it down and hopefully I remembered numbers right!
Happy Hooking

He Meng
Sky-high blood glucose levels, a diet loaded with salt and a tendency to pack away fat sounds like a recipe for a health disaster in a human. But in a Bactrian camel, these are adaptations that may help it survive in some of the driest, coldest and highest regions of the world.
Researchers in Mongolia and China have begun to unravel the genomic peculiarities behind the physiological tricks that camels use to survive in the harshest of conditions. In a paper published today in Nature Communications, the scientists describe the draft genomes of wild and domesticated Bactrian camels1.
When they first explore a new genome, geneticists are most interested in the 'rapidly evolving' sections. These hot zones of activity typically contain genes that define the species, coding for the characteristics that set it apart from its closest relatives.
"We found that many genes related to metabolism are under accelerated evolution in the camel, compared with other even-toed ungulates such as cattle," says Yixue Li, director of the Shanghai Center for Bioinformation Technology in China and a co-author of the paper.
All in the blood
Camels, as ruminants like cattle and sheep, digest food by chewing the cud. But many of the Bactrian genome's rapidly evolving genes regulate the metabolic pathway, suggesting that what camels do with the nutrients after digestion is a whole different ball game. "It was surprising to me that they had significant difference in the metabolism," says Kim Worley, a molecular geneticist at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. The differences could point to how Bactrians produce and store energy in the desert.
The work shows that camels can withstand massive blood glucose levels owing in part to changes in genes that are linked to type II diabetes in humans. The Bactrians' rapidly evolving genes include some that regulate insulin signalling pathways, the authors explain. A closer study of how camels respond to insulin may help to unravel how insulin regulation and diabetes work in humans. "I'm very interested in the glucose story," says Brian Dalrymple, a computational biologist at the Queensland Bioscience Precinct in Brisbane, Australia.
The researchers also identified sections of the genome that could begin to explain why Bactrian camels are much better than humans at tolerating high levels of salt in their bloodstreams. In humans, the gene CYP2J controls hypertension2: suppressing it leads to high blood pressure. However, camels have multiple copies of the gene, which could keep their blood pressure low even when they consume a lot of salt, suggest the authors of the latest work.
This rough analysis is only the start of the investigation into the camel genome. "There are interesting titbits for future work," says Max Rothschild, an animal genomicist at Iowa State University in Ames.

RIAA's Response To Infringement Via Its IP Address... Is To Note Someone Else Did It
from the where-have-we-heard-that-before? deptOh this one just gets better and better. Remember how the YouHaveDownloaded system was used to pinpoint infringement done via an RIAA IP address (among other interesting places)? Well, now the RIAA is using the "someone else did it" defense. According to CNET:
RIAA spokesman Jonathan Lamy had an explanation for that that implies that a third-party vendor was responsible for the downloads. "Those partial IP addresses are similar to block addresses assigned to RIAA. However, those addresses are used by a third party vendor to serve up our public Web site," he said. "As I said earlier, they are not used by RIAA staff to access the Internet."However, as TorrentFreak points out in response, Lamy is lying (shocker). Those addresses are not "similar" to RIAA addresses, they belong to the RIAA.
Now, of course, it's possible some other vendor was using them, but this seems rather ironic, coming from the RIAA, who has insisted for years that IP addresses are sufficient to accurately determine who is responsible for infringement. Apparently it works for everyone... but the RIAA.

Note: This tutorial is meant to be a little more compact that oracles tutorial, directed at beginners.
In this tutorial I will be covering all the basics regarding primitive data types.
I believe this topic is quite valuable when you're writing your Java programs as each data type have their place at some time or another.
In addition to the int primitive data type, which I'm sure many of you will have already encountered, there are 7 additional types:
(In no specific order)
1. float
2. double
3. byte
4. short
5. int
6. long
7. char
8. boolean
Now from here, primitives split into two sub-categories; you have the numeric types, and you have boolean.
All 1-7 are classed as numeric types, and Boolean simply holds true of false.
Now before I delve any deeper, some of you may have noticed that String isn't among these data types, and that's for a very good reason, as String comes under 'Reference types' and not 'Primitive types'.
We will not be going into the differences between the two, but I'd just thought I'd mention it to avoid any confusion.
Some quick facts:
- A variable's data type determines the values it may contain, and the operations that may be performed on it.
- Within Java, each data type is denoted by a reserved word.
- Each type is allocated a fixed amount of Storage
Now to begin;
Byte (8 bits)
A byte is a data type which ranges over integer values between -128 and 127. The attempt of assigning numbers out of that range will result in an error.
Minimum: -128
Maximum: 127
Short (16 bits)
This data type may only contain whole numbers between -32,768 and 32,767. The attempt of assigning numbers out of that range will result in an error.
Minimum: -32768
Maximum: 32767
Note how values are assigned in the form of 32767 and not 32,767.
int (32 bits)
An int is a data type which ranges over the integer values between -2147483648 and 2147483647.
This data type is the most common data type many programmers use when dealing with numerical data.
Minimum: -2147483648
Maximum: 2147483647
Long (64 bits)
A long is a data type which can only have whole number values between -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 and 9,223,372,036,854,775,807.
As you can see, that's one lengthy range.
public static void main(String[] args) { long soLong; System.out.println("Minimum: " + Long.MIN_VALUE); System.out.println("Maximum: " + Long.MAX_VALUE); soLong = 40000; // valid soLong = -600000000; // valid soLong = -6000000000000000000; // INVALID soLong = -6000000000000000000L; // Valid - 'L' @ the end. }
Now, notice how I've noted 'soLong = -6000000000000000000;' as invalid even though it's within range.
Well that's because when dealing with long data types, you should be placing the letter 'L' after the number.
Note that the use 'L' at the end is not case sensitive, so feel free to use the higher or lower case.
Minimum: -9223372036854775808
Maximum: 9223372036854775807
Float & Double (32 & 64 bits)
Float and double and both types of floating point literals, which mean they don't need to be whole numbers.
• Single-precision floating-point numbers
• Seven significant figures
• Stored using 32 bits
• Double-precision floating-point numbers
• Fifteen significant figures
• Stored using 64 bits
public static void main(String[] args) { float myFloat; double myDouble; System.out.println("Amount of bits to represent a float:" + Float.SIZE); System.out.println("Amount of bits to represent a double:" + Double.SIZE); myFloat = 4; myFloat = 12.1; //INVALID myFloat = 12.1f; //valid myDouble = 10; //valid myDouble = 34.5; //valid myDouble = 15.5D; //valid myDouble = -1223222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222.3; //valid }
When using floats, which are not whole, you should always end the assignment with a higher, or lower case 'F'.
When using double, the placement of 'D' at the end is only optional and not a requirement.
Amount of bits to represent a float:32
Amount of bits to represent a double:64
Char (16 bits)
The char data type is used to store characters.
Each character has its own unique internal code value, which you will see demonstrated in the example.
Firstly take a look at the following image, and navigate your way to number 65 under decimal. You should notice that it relates to the character uppercase 'A'.
Hopefully you will be able to see what's going on in this program now:
Notice that the only valid methods of using a char is to:
assign it a number, which represents a character from the ASCII table or
to declare a single character within apostrophes. The use of quotation marks is not legal in this occasion.
A boolean is a data type which can only have two values, true or false.
Both true and false are case sensitive, and should always be the lowercase.
This data type represents one bit of information, but its "size" isn't something that's precisely defined.
Here's an example of how to use the boolean data type, and situations where they can be useful:
public static void main(String[] args) { boolean falseBoolean = false; boolean trueBoolean = true; System.out.println("falseBoolean is: " + falseBoolean); System.out.println("trueBoolean is: " + trueBoolean); int x = 0; while (trueBoolean) { //while true x++; // increment by 1 System.out.println("X incremented to: " + x); if (x == 5) { trueBoolean = false; } } System.out.println("END"); }
falseBoolean is: false
trueBoolean is: true
X incremented to: 1
X incremented to: 2
X incremented to: 3
X incremented to: 4
X incremented to: 5
Now that the basic details of each type has been covered, lets discuss their uses.
byte vs short vs int vs long
For most programs, the int data type should be sufficient for holding numerical data, so in most cases, the only time you need to stray away from int is when:
A) Your values exceed the limit of an int, where you would use long.
B) Your program has memory restraints, so to save memory, you would use, short or byte… depending on the range of the values you need to store.
float vs double
If you wish to store a decimal number to 5 significant figures, a float might be best here, but say
you wish to store a decimal number up to 10 significant figures, you would use a double.
Either way, for decimal values, double is the default choice for most programmers.
Please note that although these data types support decimal values, they should not be used for currency due to the precision loss that may incur.
When dealing with large amounts of currency, the best approach is to use BigDecimal.
Boolean & Char
As the boolean data type only stores true or false, Its uses are to act as flags in basic true or false conditions, such as loop conditions or logical conditions.
The char data type can be used for quite a few things, but usually It calls for a certain occassion when they are actually required. Some of the most basic
times to use this data type can be for the use of a Switch statement.
Arithmetic operations
For all the numeric types, all of the following arithmetic operations can be executed:
• Multiplication ( * )
• Division ( / )
• Addition ( + )
• Subtraction ( - )
• Remainder ( % )
These operators are commonly used while programming, so be sure to make the most of them.
As this tutorial is mean't to be a brief, compact introduction to primitive data types, It obviously won't cover everything.
I would still recommend you visit Oracle's official tutorial to find out more.
Primitive Data Types
All form of feedback, corrections will be appreciated, I'd make sure to correct / improve spelling or factual information.

Dallas Cowboys Safety Barry Church Injured While Eating a Jolly Rancher
In the annals of ridiculous sports injuries, this one doesn't take the cake as much as it takes the candy.
Dallas Cowboys safety Barry Church had to miss training camp on Monday because he hurt his tooth eating a Jolly Rancher.
Yup, you read that right.
Church chipped a tooth while eating one of the candies about a week before camp opened and had been battling the pain since. On Monday, he woke up in agonizing pain and had to go for a root canal.
Church, who is in his fourth year in the NFL, missed the last 13 games last season due to a tear in his Achilles tendon. You know, a real injury.
He said he will stick to soft candies, although everyone knows Gummy Bears can wreak havoc with your teeth, too.

|Review Rating Legend
|Dev: Yukes Media Creations
|1.0 - 1.9 = Avoid
|4.0 - 4.4 = Great
|Pub: THQ
|2.0 - 2.4 = Poor
|4.5 - 4.9 = Must Buy

|3.0 - 3.4 = Fair
|ESRB Rating: Teen
|3.5 - 3.9 = Good
That being said, there is one thing I really wish THQ would bring back from previous wrestling games: the ability to drag your opponent throughout the entire arena, traveling from room-to-room in Hardcore or Falls Count Anywhere matches. Using elements found in dressing rooms as weapons, performing moonsaults off the lobby staircase, and taking it outside to kick ass in the street were always among the highlights of WWE games. There is a backstage level that takes place in a parking lot and a KO is needed to win, but you can no longer make your way throughout the venue as you could in the past, making Falls Count Anywhere matches a nearly pointless feature. As you make your way up the entrance ramp, the only place to go is back down to the ring. Ever since they omitted this feature, I have been wishing they would bring it back each year, and it didnt come true in 2009.
Another thing I noticed that has been a consistent problem with WWE games is that THQ still cant seem to count the ring-out smoothly in a standard match. Depending on how much action is taking place outside the ring, the ref can make a several-second gap between counts, so a ten-count can often take more like 15 or 20 seconds. Its not a big problem, but it seems as though this error has been present for as long as I can remember.
All-new Create A Finisher is something that fans of character customization will absolutely love. It is a comprehensive system that allows you to choose a sequence of up to ten different movements with a long list to choose from that lets you pull off elaborate and destructive moves. All are fully customizable with many possibilities. It is easy to spend hours creating finishing moves with an endless number of sequences to come up with.
Career and Tournament modes make a return. They are pretty much unchanged from last year. Create A Superstar and other creation modes, such as Move-Set and Entrance, are more of the same. With 14 different one-on-one match types to play in Exhibition, improved A.I. in Tag Matches and other classics such as Royal Rumble, SvR 2009 boasts over 70 different match types to play at any time. There are lots of different arenas for a change of scenery as well, including an outdoor military base in the Middle East, as SvR 2009 offers a whole lot of variety and a whole lot of wrasstlin for one game.
With so many years of consistently improving their titles, SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 is an installment wrestling gamers will appreciate, offering enough new features to keep the series fresh without meddling with its tried-and-true mechanics. All of the games newly-added features are welcome additions, without any of them feeling like cheap add-ons to advertise on the back cover. This feels nothing like a dulled-down next-gen title, and wrestling fans will love the variety of wrestlers, match types, moves, and creative features to toy around with. SvR 2009 is one of the best titles released on the PSP or PS2 in months.

U.S. Beach Volleyball Update: Embracing Change
B.J. Hoeptner Evans
Manager, Communications
Phone: (719) 228-6800
E-Mail: email@example.com
@USA_Volleyball - @USAV Beach – USAV Facebook
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Jan. 23, 2013) – Change can be scary, or it can be invigorating… or it can be a little of both.
U.S. beach volleyball players Todd Rogers (Santa Barbara, Calif.) and Ryan Doherty (Toms River, N.J.) are embracing the changes that have led them to form a new partnership for 2013.
Rogers, 39, (in photo at left) has broken up with Phil Dalhausser (Ormond Beach, Fla.), his partner of seven years with whom he competed in two Olympic Games, winning the gold medal in 2008. The pair also won the 2007 FIVB World Championships and the 2010 FIVB World Tour Championship along with numerous international and domestic titles.
Doherty, 28, was pursuing a career as a professional baseball pitcher until 2007, when he was released from the Arizona Diamondbacks farm system. He moved in with a friend in North Carolina and started playing beach volleyball. At a little over 7-feet tall, he found success and moved to Southern California to pursue the sport full time.
When Rogers learned that Dalhausser would be playing with two-time Olympian Sean Rosenthal (Redondo Beach, Calif.) in 2013, he contacted Doherty, who played with Casey Patterson (Van Nuys, Calif.) in 2012. Rogers and Dalhausser had played Doherty and Patterson twice in 2012.
"I met him in Baltimore at the NVL Preakness event," Rogers said. "They beat us in the final.
"I didn't see him again until Cincinnati (AVP). We beat them there. By then, Phil and I had spoken and I knew he was headed toward a different partner."
Rogers called Doherty somewhat out of the blue in September with an offer to be his partner and coach. Doherty quickly jumped at the opportunity to play with Rogers. He spoke with Patterson, who has since formed a partnership with Jake Gibb (Bountiful, Utah), Rosenthal's former partner, for 2013.
"It's worked out unbelievably well for all of us," Doherty said. "My main goal has always been to see how good I can get. I want to see how good at this game I can be."
Now Rogers, who has traveled all over the world in pursuit of volleyball victories, will be partner and coach to Doherty, who has never been out of the United States. The pair plans to compete on the FIVB World Tour as well as domestic events that fit their schedule.
"One of the things I recognize in myself is that I love to coach," Rogers said. "I saw Ryan as a very raw partner, but one that I could coach."
Both Rogers and Doherty know that Doherty (in photo at right) has a long way to go.
Doherty has been doing strength training and conditioning at the American Sports Centers in Anaheim, Calif., but will soon move to Santa Barbara to train on the beach full time with Rogers.
"Being a baseball player, I didn't get the reps a lot of these other players got," Doherty said. "I need to work on the mechanics of passing the ball and the mechanics of setting. I want to make sure my passing is better. I want to open up the court offensively and work on the softer game as opposed to swinging away."
Rogers agreed that Doherty needs to work on "everything" and added that the new team will also need time to develop their communication styles so they can play in synch with each other.
"I think that's really a lost factor on a lot of people; even people who have a good idea of the game," he said. "Creating a bond with a partner on the beach is not something you have overnight. I always say it takes six months to a year. Phil and I were at the point where we knew what each of us was going to do based on a serve or attack.
"I'm sure it will be the same with Ryan. That's just practice and playing. We'll get there."
Over the past week, both UCLA and the University of Arizona have announced that they are adding women's sand volleyball as varsity sports.
UCLA has hired Stein Metzger (Honolulu, Hawaii), a 2004 Olympian in beach volleyball who played indoor volleyball for the Bruins, to coach its team. The UCLA sand team will practice and compete at the Annenberg Community Beach facility in Santa Monica.
Arizona will use Steve Walker, currently an assistant with its women's indoor volleyball team, to coach the Wildcats
Fifteen NCAA Division I universities sponsored the sand volleyball in 2011-12, its inaugural year, and 29 will now compete in 2012-13.
In order to be an officially sponsored NCAA championship sport, there must be 40 competing institutions in two consecutive seasons. Within the Pac-12 Conference, four schools presently sponsor the sport (California, Stanford, UCLA, USC) with at least one other member considering adding the sport.
The inaugural AVCA Collegiate Sand Volleyball Championships were held last April in Gulf Shores, Ala., and that site will host the championship from 2013 to 2015.
Arizona added sand volleyball as a high school varsity sport in 2011-12 with California following in 2012-13.
Canadian Martin Reader has announced he is retiring from the sport to pursue other opportunities.
Reader and partner Josh Binstock finished 17th at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

I'm really upset. I mean, I'm not in this activism thing for the recognition, but being deliberately excluded like this just gets old. When I woke up, word was going around that some subliterate PUA name of "Roosh," which probably rhymes with something funny, had compiled what he no doubt considers an exhaustive list of The 9 Ugliest Feminists In America. [Update: we may have killed his server, which, you know. Dang. Here's the Google cache.] So I went, first thing waking up this morning, to take a look.
Just seeing the title, I was pretty sure I had a lock on at least Mister Congeniality. But no. Despite the inclusion of several of my friends not only was I not included, but there is not a single feminist man in the entire list. I feel so very left out — not to mention offended on behalf of my gender. I mean, come on: look at this photo of yours truly. Tell me seriously I don't deserve a spot on that list.
And yet, in his bio, the author claims to be all about the menz:
Roosh has been blogging for several years over at RooshV.com about travel and women. He has also authored several books on how to get laid in the United States, South America, and Eastern Europe. He launched Return Of Kings in October of 2012 to serve the needs of masculine men.
I just don't get it. My needs have not been served here.
It's worth noting as both observation and trigger warning how quickly the comments devolve into anti-semitism. What a shock that antifeminists can also hate people who aren't all necessarily women!

European Space Agency Astronaut Paolo Nespoli — who first traveled to space aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery in 2007 — photographed a unique and stunning image of the space shuttle Endeavour docked with the International Space Station on a recent Soyuz mission.
During a 159-day mission aboard the International Space Station, Nespoli managed to find time, despite his full schedule of duties, to capture footage for a documentary film, First Orbit. Combining historic voice recordings of cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin's first manned spaceflight, the documentary charts the view that Gagarin saw during his historic mission.
In addition to this footage, Nespoli also took many still images of Earth. LightBox presents a selection of these photos that show our planet as a beautiful abstract canvas.

C'mon. Did anyone really think O was going to pull the plug?
"We think it would not be in the best interests of the United States" to change its aid program at this time, Carney said. Asked if that would mean the administration would be cutting off aid in the near-term, Carney repeated his response: "we think that would not be in our best interests."
"Wait," you say, "aren't they required to cut aid when a country's democratically elected leader is deposed in a coup?" Indeed, but that depends on what the meaning of "coup" is:
While not directly ordering a pre-cooked outcome of a legal review into Mohammed Morsi's ouster last week, the officials said Monday that the White House has made clear in inter-agency discussions that continued aid to Egypt's military is a U.S. national security priority that would be jeopardized by a coup finding. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss internal administration deliberations…
Some officials concede that a "no-coup" finding may become increasingly difficult to justify given the rising violence among Morsi supporters, opponents and security forces that has led to fears of a civil war.
The "no coup" finding isn't predetermined, it's just that the White House … strongly suggests to its subordinates that they not find otherwise. The way they're going to finesse this, I assume, is by claiming that it's not really a coup unless the military seizes power for itself. If they seize it with an eye to preempting an authoritarian power grab and returning power to the people (think Honduras 2009, a coup that Obama, er, infamously opposed), then it's kinda sorta democratic and therefore not a "real" coup.
McCain disagrees:
"I have never favored, and I do not favor, one individual or party over another in Egypt. Who governs Egypt is for the citizens of Egypt to decide. Instead, I continue to stand for democratic values and the creation of effective democratic institutions that can enable the Egyptian people to determine their own future freely and peacefully. I believe the United States must support democracy in Egypt because it is the best foundation for that country's long-term stability and prosperity and for peace and security in the Middle East…
"This is an incredibly difficult decision, but we have to learn the lessons of history and remain true to our values. If millions of Egyptians come to believe that democracy offers them no opportunity to advance their goals peacefully, it will only fuel violence and extremism. That is a path to civil conflict. Indeed, I am deeply concerned by reports today that Egyptian soldiers fired on hundreds of civilians this morning, killing at least 51 people and wounding more than 300, and by calls from the Muslim Brotherhood for a popular uprising against the military.
And so, for the first and maybe last time, the neoconservative view aligns with the libertarian/palecon view on foreign aid. In fairness to Maverick, there is a bona fide strategy at work here: A neoconservative would argue that the only way to keep Islamists peaceful and leave them utterly discredited is to be patient when they win elections and trust that they'll screw up so badly that the voters will turn against them. You can't persuade Egyptians that Islamism is a dead end; they need to see it for themselves, the way Iranians have seen it. ("You don't get to arrive at Thomas Jefferson unless you first pass through Martin Luther.") That assumes, though, that an Islamist regime would submit itself to another popular vote once it was safely elected. Egyptians feared that the Brotherhood wouldn't, which is why they clamored for a coup. And it also assumes that a discredited Islamist movement would remain peaceful once turned out of office and keep plugging away to get reelected rather than start picking up guns. Would they?
Bottom line: Realistically, having just seen some of the largest demonstrations in world history against Morsi and the Brotherhood, there's no way the White House was about to cross the Egyptian people again by yanking aid in protest over Morsi being deposed. Virtually every move that Obama's made towards the Middle East since 2011 has been with an eye to making nice with post-Arab Spring populations after decades of the U.S. supporting regional dictators. (This also explains the White House's anti-Assad posture even though the rebels seem just as dangerous to U.S. interests, if not more so.) He saw that the people wanted Mubarak out, so he sided with them. They elected Morsi, so he accepted that. Then they had a new revolution to depose Morsi, which he initially opposed because he didn't think there was much popular sentiment behind it, but now that the realizes there is, he's going to kinda sorta side with that. If new elections are held and the Islamists win again, he'll accept that too. And none of this will result in any aid being yanked, for fear of alienating Egyptians further. Whatever he can do to build goodwill, in his own stumbling half-assed way, he'll do it.
This point is well taken, though:
Getting the feeling there's nothing that could happen in Egypt that would make admin cut off aid. If true, aid provides no leverage.
— Justin Logan (@JustinTLogan) July 8, 2013
I can think of one thing that would make them cut off aid lickety split: War with Israel, of course. That $2 billion a year that we give them is really just a bribe, nothing more or less, not to make the region even nuttier than it is by starting something new with Tel Aviv. It might also give the White House a bit of leverage in pressuring the army not to postpone new elections, just in case they start to drift back towards a junta and away from a new elected government. But otherwise, our military aid to Egypt is simply polite extortion by the army to keep the Camp David accords intact. We'll never do anything to stop it. They might.

AronRa - even though he only has like one video that talks about Atheism and faith, but I really look forward to his work.
Also Youtubers no one has mentioned yet
Here's one of my favorites of his: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpz8PMcRJSY
If so then Paul should know she isn't Russian. She's in fact Romanian.
well Paul, with due respect you got "baned" from Richard Dawkins' website, and you think Zomgitscriss is "a hot russian chic" ... you're not exactly coming across as the sharpest pencil in the drawer. Best to show respect to women, and not brag about being banned from a website, and use spell check. These things can help enhance your credibility.
Unless of course you really do mean "baned"[sic] as in you ruined or spoiled Dawkins' website, and "chic" as in Zomgitscriss is fashionable.

When it comes to primary course material, though, there are better ways to learn.

Bottom Line: Palacky university entrance exam is the best free online language program. Unique features and a clear structure make it a palacky university entrance exam platform for learning or strengthening skills in several languages. Bottom Line: Offering instruction in 104 palacky university entrance exam, Transparent Language Online is a top language-learning program for self-directed learners. It's a wonderful alternative to Rosetta Stone for those who . Choosing the right language-learning software is a highly personal decision. You want a program that's right for your language education level, whether you're a total beginner or an experienced speaker in need of some brushing up. You also have ww2 rationing primary homework help make sure that the language you want to study is available, which might be easy if it's Spanish or French but quite a different story if it's Cherokee. Do you need virtual tutoring? What about making sure you can study while driving? Do you need to master core grammar or just be able to speak some essential phrases for travel? Is the program you want in your price range? There are so many excellent programs that can teach you a language, no matter what your needs or your budget. Sure, Google Translate is getting better all the time, but you just can't rely on it for everything! Here you'll find information about the ten best options for learning a language yourself, including the best free programs, the best for beginners, palacky university entrance exam the best for those who want to palacky university entrance exam up their skills in a particular language. The best free language-learning app is Duolingo, hands down. Duolingo is available as both a palacky university entrance exam app and mobile app, and it works well whether you're a total beginner or have some experience with a language. If you've studied the language before, you can take a placement test in Duolingo so that you don't have palacky university entrance exam start at square one. Duolingo has a wonderful interface palacky university entrance exam easy to use. It also presents bite-size learning, making it a great tool for studying in short sessions. You can set a goal for your daily learning schedule, and some gamification aspects encourage you to hit that palacky university entrance exam consistently. If you're motivated by leaderboards, points, and in-app rewards, Duolingo will keep you enticed. We highly recommend Duolingo either on palacky university entrance exam own or as a companion to another language-study program. At palacky university entrance exam, Duolingo has programs in 26 languages: Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Esperanto, French, German, Greek, Gender roles in macbeth thesis, Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Swahili, Turkish, Ukrainian, Palacky university entrance exam, and Welsh. There are some language-learning courses in beta, and four more that are "hatching," which means they are in development and not quite open for use: Arabic, Hawaiian, Hindi, and Indonesian. In other words, these languages will be palacky university entrance exam in the future. Among paid language-learning programs, Rosetta Stone Language Learning is hard to beat. Rosetta Stone has an excellent and stable system, and the experience of using it is smooth as glass. While some people may palacky university entrance exam that the content is repetitive and a little dry, the deductive learning method it uses stands out as being much more memorable than most other programs that use, say, flashcards as their primary learning mechanic. We also like that the lessons are consistent in length, so you always know how methodology of generic medicines time you need to invest to complete a section. Rosetta Stone keeps track of your progress, scores you as you complete exercises, and repeats important ideas at the right intervals to help you keep them education university lower mall campus merit list 2017 in your mind. It incorporates reading, palacky university entrance exam, speaking, and listening equally, and it has optional e-tutoring sessions in which you can take a class with a real instructor via a web conferencing setup. Rosetta Stone is available for 28 languages, which are all listed in our palacky university entrance exam you run a business with employees who regularly travel abroad and need some instruction in the languages of their destinations, you should definitely look into Rosetta Stone Catalyst for your company. Catalyst's interface will be familiar to anyone who's used the consumer edition of Rosetta Stone, but it also adds in-depth reporting on employee, departmental, or regional language learning progress for administrators. It isn't quite as polished as the consumer edition, but it's still palacky university entrance exam excellent tool for teaching the basics of a new language. If you already have some experience speaking a language and need to brush up, We recommend two services: Transparent Language Online and Yabla. In our experience with the program, Transparent Language Online is hard. Or rather it's hard if you are a brand-new student to a language. And it's intense. For those reasons, it's really good for getting back into a language you've studied before. Transparent is similar to Rosetta Stone palacky university entrance exam that it covers all the major areas of learning: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Yabla is also very good for brushing up, but for a engineering university of tokyo different reason. Yabla has you watch videos in the language you're trying to learn, with subtitles available in both the foreign and English. After you watch a video, you replay it in segments and answer questions about the content and words used. Beginners trying a new language may find it overwhelming. But when used with a language they have already studied, it became challenging in roger fry an essay in aesthetics positive way for students. Yabla's strong suit is that it lets you acclimate your ear to different voices (you university of amsterdam webmail filter videos by accent or country of origin) speaking at a conversational pace. There are some videos that are slower and for beginners, but msc in university of ibadan real value of Yabla is in the intermediate and advanced videos. I've already mentioned that Duolingo offers bite-size learning, and given that its mobile apps have some offline functionality, it's an miss universe top 16 2017 program to use nearly anytime or anywhere. Interactive mobile apps are great when you can spare the attention of your eyeballs and fingers, but what if your idea of learning on the go is to do it while driving or walking the dog? For that, there's Pimsleur. Pimsleur is somewhat old-school in the sense that the programs are almost entirely audio based, with only a few optional PDFs to help you with spelling and reading. An essay about self confidence you buy Pimsleur, you get a batch of MP3 files that you palacky university entrance exam play on any device that supports them. (Speaking of old-school, there's also an option to buy discs.) Each lesson is about 30 minutes long, and the content is exceptional. There's a lot of listen-and-repeat content, but it's designed in a way that really makes you think and work hard to palacky university entrance exam your language skills. Language-learning software programs are self-paced and sometimes even self-directed. Center of the universe festival learning experience is highly independent. But when it comes to learning a new language, sometimes you need a human being to palacky university entrance exam something to you. Living Palacky university entrance exam is a program that includes e-tutoring in its package. In the e-tutoring sessions, you video-conference with an instructor. The audio is two-way, but the video is one-way—you can see the instructor, but he or she palacky university entrance exam see you. What we like about Living Language's e-tutoring is that the instructors don't stick to a strict script. They have set material to cover, but they are free to answer questions, speak to you in Palacky university entrance exam, and so forth. That's not the case advantages and disadvantages of television short essay Rosetta Stone's e-tutoring, which is good, but a little too rigid for our palacky university entrance exam great program with consumer reports lexus is more human touch is Fluenz. In Fluenz, you don't have a live conversation with a teacher, but you do have videos of a guide who takes you through the program. The guide explains concepts, breaks down pronunciation, and becomes a familiar face on your learning journey. Most language-learning programs for speakers of English can teach you Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese. What do you do, then, if you need to learn Urdu, Igbo, or Ojibwe? The three programs most likely to have a hard-to-find language are Transparent Language Online, Pimsleur, and Mango Languages (which didn't quite mawlana bhashani science and technology university the cut for this "best of" list). Transparent Language Online has programs for more than 100 languages. Some of those programs are short at the moment, but the company is busy adding to them. Pimsleur has 50 languages in its catalog, and ma english ajk university few of them are palacky university entrance exam offered by Transparent. Finally, Mango Languages is an option if you're stuck. Palacky university entrance exam not our favorite program, but it may be the only option if the language you need is impossible to fudan university international dorm elsewhere. If you're just looking to quiz yourself on vocabulary, you can do that for free with Quizlet, an excellent service that focuses squarely on rote learning. That might sound deadly dull, but Quizlet actually offers a bunch of tools to mix up the memorization, ranging from flashcards to fill-in-the-blanks questions, palacky university entrance exam even a few game modes. The tools are nicely animated, and the app offers speech-to-text features for pronunciation help, too. The result is a surprisingly engaging tool that is a good adjunct for any language-learning course. You can create palacky university entrance exam own study set, adding to it as new words pop up, or you can choose from the millions of user-generated sets out there. While languages make palacky university entrance exam just a fraction of the premade palacky university entrance exam, a quick look shows that there are plenty of sets available for Chinese, French, Japanese, Spanish and many other languages. Most software-based palacky university entrance exam programs will help you learn a base of vocabulary and grammar, palacky university entrance exam they won't turn you into a fluent speaker. For that, you need to practice with university malaya specialist centre charges human beings and come up with things you genuinely want to say, rather than words that an app is prompting o que precisa melhorar na educação brasileira to learn. Using the apps listed below can teach you a lot, concept of caring essay, so develop a base knowledge first with them and then go out and use your skills in the real world.

ROCHESTER, Mich. (AP) Ryan Bass scored 20 points to lead all five starters in double figures, helping Oakland beat Nebraska-Omaha 91-79 Thursday night in the first-ever meeting between the schools.
Bass was 7 of 15 from the field for the Golden Grizzlies (7-9, 2-1 Summit League). Travis Bader, who entered leading the nation with 60 3-pointers, made five more and had 19 points. Duke Mondy added 18 points, nine assists and six steals, while Corey Petros chipped in 16 points and Drew Valentine had 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Justin Simmons had 24 points and John Karhoff added 14 for the Mavericks (4-13, 1-4), who shot 54.5 percent and took their only lead, 29-28, on a Caleb Steffensmeier 3-pointer with 8:37 left in the first half.

UPDATE 10/17/2014: There are a few last-minute cancellations. The latest was Dania G, known to us hardcore The Walking Dead fan as the super hero ninja – Michonne! It's a bit disappointing but there's still much to check out and tons to do. See you soon!
With just a few days til Walker Stalker Con Atlanta, we figured it's time to share some love with our fellow zombie fans, podcasters, and cosplay geeks! First and foremost, congrats to Eric and James on their 100th episode of The Walker Stalkers podcast. If you haven't checked it out yet, we've embedded the MP3 player below:
Here are some of my favorite nuggets from The Walker Stalkers Episode 100:
- TWD companion series has been ordered for pilot. It's official! Robert Kirkman can't spill the beans (though he would love to) but he can confirm that it's not in Georgia.
- TWD was one of many projects Kirkman was working in back in around 2003. He admits it was luck that TWD stuck. It was released under the Image label as part of a big horror push. Initial sales were abysmal. Storylines were rushed because Kirkman thought it would not last. By around issue 3, it started to gain traction, much like the show.
- Robert Kirkman says, "The Walking Dead is essentially the Twilight of zombie series… It's essentially a soap opera."
- Robert admits influence from Quentin Terentino, Stephanie Meyer, and others.
- The Kirman workflow: bouncing around projects. This keeps him invested and engaged so he does not burn out on any one project. If you are curious about Kirkman's other projects, check out Invincible.
- Robert Kirkman despises cameos because it ruins immersion. He realizes people seem to love it but he can't do it. He promises he will never do it because it feels arrogant to him.
- Kirkman says, if he had to cosplay as a TWD character, it would be Michonne. The poncho is the closest thing to his "dress for comfort" approach.
- Kirkman on clothing: "Pajama pants are to an extent my work pants… I like to feel to an extent I am naked."
- Kirkman admits he is not a music aficionado. He does dig Neil Young. "My Top 5 is messed up Neil Young, Nick Cave, Presidents of the United States of America, George Michael (Faith album, not WHAM), and AC/DC."
- Tori Amos, Marilyn Manson, and Natalie Merchant are the only three concerts he ever went to.
- Eric and James reminisce about the early days of The Walker Stalkers podcast and how far they've come along.
- The trolls of yesteryear are called out.. Where are they nowadays?
Robert Kirkman is an inspiration to me because he is an everyday kinda dude. He's approachable, down-to-earth, and pretty darn humble.
What's important here is that The Walking Dead wasn't an overnight success but he stuck with it. That's success in simplest terms: it's a marathon, not a sprint. Sometimes, you just get lucky.. So don't give up, geeks!
Similarly, Eric & James experienced great success with their podcast and eventually turned a fan meetup into a massive event. It wasn't always easy. Like many creative works that start off as a labor of love, there were critics and trolls. But here they are.. You guys did it – CONGRATS!

Jake Gyllenhaal and Amy Adams, nominated Best Supporting Actress for "The Fighter," gave the Best Documentary Short Subject and Best Live Action Short Film Oscars.
Gyllenhaal was oddly wooden, seeming almost nervous, while trying to make a joke about the importance of being able to pick the Best Short winners when your doing an Oscar pool.
"Strangers No More," about a school in Tel Aviv with students from 48 countries, won for Best Documentary Short for Karen Goodman and Kirk Simon.
U.S. & World
Luke Matheny next won Best Live Action Short for "God of Love."
"I should've gotten a haircut," opened Matheny. "I want to thank the Academy for this amazing award," before ripping into a rapid-fire acknowledgment of most everyone on Earth--including the NYU Film School his mother who "did craft services on my film," going at such a pace that he was breathless.
"NYU, what up!" shouted Franco upon taking the stage to introduce a totally bizarre and funny collection of short music videos crafted out of auto-tuned dialogue from four different films: "Tiny Ball of Light," from "Harry Potter," "We're All Still Here" from "Toy Story 3," "Fishing for Facebook" from "The Social Network" and "He Doesn't Own a Shirt" from "Twilight: Eclipse."
Really weird--and we liked it. It'll no doubt be on YouTube in the morning.
For reasons that remain unclear, Oprah Winfrey was on hand to give the Best Documentary feature Oscar, which went to Charles Ferguson and Audrey Marrs for "Inside Job," about the events that led to the global finical meltdown.
"Not a single financial executive has gone to jail and that's wrong," noted filmmaker Charles Ferguson.
This no doubt came as a huge relief to the Academy, as they were openly concerned about what Bansky would do if he won for "Exit Through the Gift Shop."
And we were kinda hoping Oprah was gonna give everyone in the audience a new car.

What is this business about a launch party? Well, it's more like a marketing campaign but that's boring. This is a big celebration.
- We are celebrating hitting some big milestones during our soft launch/beta phase – 3K+ fans on Facebook – w00t!
- We are celebrating our awesome shows, collaborators, contributors, and supporters.
- We are celebrating the influx of donations in the form of love, monetary support, games, services, etc.
- We are celebrating YOU!
There's no end date for the campaign. Basically, the better the results, the more we will keep it going. We need your help.
Tell your friends about what we are doing here. The Geeky Antics network is here to help geeks liberate their content and level the playing field. The 1% dominates so many spaces, podcasting and streaming inclusive, and we want to empower others to get A-Lister results without losing their souls. We hope this excites our community as much as our contributors.
I am passionate about our mission to bring quality, authentic geeky content to a more global audience. Our vision is simple: we want to be a Geek & Sundry that will focus more on engagement and niche content with a simple approach, rather than featuring huge personalities or focusing on high production value. We're hoping by celebrating and creating the good kind of hype, we can rally more people behind these core values and ideals.
As part of this campaign, we will launch several events and new content series. This includes, but is not limited to, giveaways, contests, podcasts, streams, marathons, and fundraisers. Nothing is set in stone because we like to stay nimble so we will play off each other. Please help us out by sharing our excitement with your friends and family.
New Features, Content, And Goodies
We have a CRAP-TON of awesome new features and goodies on the new Geeky Antics site. Here's a quick run-through:
- Site registration
- Custom profiles & avatars
- Achievements
- Friending
- Forums
- YouTube sharing
- Twitter sharing
- Open commenting
That's just for starters. We'll go more in-depth during HorsePLAY! LIVE so be sure to join us on the GeekyAntics Twitch channel Thursday at 9pm EDT.
One of the most exciting things we are adding are two new areas. The first will allow us to do fundraising for individual contributors and the network as a whole. The biggest one is our Storytelling section. Here, we will feature community submissions in the form of short stories, fan fiction, haikus, or whatever other creative writing you guys share with us. We will also share stuff from aspiring authors and other awesome geeks you might have heard of (Nika Harper, we're looking at you).
Please keep checking back. We're doing constant updates to the site and they're all kind of a big deal. *grin*
