The Mammary Miracle Of Anorei
June 4th, 2012
The first time she appeared at XLGirls, Anorei Collins was quickly voted in the Top Twenty, which is based on those star ratings you click on. We expected as much. As Brian wrote, "Anorei is the standard by which all other busty, curvy models will be measured!" Now that's setting the bar very high. "Wulfric wrote, "I love big women. They make me think of warmth and love." W.W. emailed, "My jaw dropped when I saw Anorei the first time. I could not believe how beautiful and curvy she is, or that she has P-cup breasts! I love that she is such a geek and likes to play video games and dress-up. I like those things, too! I hope one day I bump into Anorei at a comic convention. It would make my life. She is a 10, and sets the bar for hotness." In this pictorial, Anorei does supreme justice to a staple outfit in mens' magazines, traditional lingerie, stockings and garters. Anorei has just completed her first hardcore sex scene for XLGirls so stay abreast because it's full steam ahead.

On 16 November 1855, David Livingstone first laid eyes on the waterfall that would define his life story, and that of an entire country.
As he lay on his belly on an island in the middle of the Zambezi River close to where its waters thunder down a 110metre drop, he observed the rising mist from the falls as it drizzled down on him like rain. Visible from over 30km away, the Kololo people with whom he had travelled downriver called it Mosi-oa-Tunya – the smoke that thunders.
As the first European to witness this magnificent site, he decided to name it Victoria Falls in honour of his Queen and carved his initials into the bark of a tree before leaving the island.
David Livingstone.
As he took one last look at the magnificent sight before him, he thought to himself, "This will tell our story".
At the Royal Livingstone Hotel on the banks of a river that flows through the soul of our continent, your own African story waits to be told.

Attorneys for Marcus Kaarma said his home was robbed two times before the shooting death of a Big Sky High School German exchange student, but Missoula police said only one report was filed for a burglary at the home.
They said a police report of a garage burglary at the Kaarma's home was filed on April 18. Police said according to the report, only small items were stolen out of the garage, but they could not name what was taken. On April 21, police said a suspicious car was reported pulling a way from the home.
In an interview Monday Kaarma's attorney, Paul Ryan, said the family was confused after the first burglary, and didn't report it. Ryan said whoever was entering the home was getting bolder, and stealing credit cards, phones and more.
Police are still investigating the April 18 burglary. They said garage burglaries are not uncommon in Missoula.

Living together while getting divorced
More couples who want to split up are staying under one roof because of the economy. How do they cope?
The divorce rate actually dropped -- a remarkable 4% -- in 2008 and that trend appears to be continuing. Does that mean that during bad economic times, more couples are rediscovering true love and harmony?
Could be, but for many, probably not: Financial strain can be the final straw in a shaky relationship. What's likely is that many people who would otherwise split can't afford to break up. There's too little money for legal fees or operating two households. Also, homeowners can find it nearly impossible to dispose of the family house.
So, many unhappy couples remain together (and many divorce lawyers report that business is the slowest it's ever been).
Here's another strange Great Recession trend: Many couples are forced by finances to live together while going through a divorce. The Washington Post said 20% to 25% of the clients of one area law firm are in that boat, and other news stories reported similar statistics. Doesn't that sound like hell here on earth? "It was torture, a scene waiting for a crime of passion," Nordette, a poster at BlogHer, said about her experience.
If this is your current situation, how can you cope?
- First, make sure your separated-but-living-together (known as SBLT) situation doesn't complicate your divorce. For instance, the Post says, Maryland "requires a full year of separate residences for mutual and voluntary divorce." Other jurisdictions let you cohabitate as long you lead separate lives. What does your state law require?
- Set rules. We read of one couple who hung up a tarp to divide the house. That sounds extreme, but you do want to stay in your space. Get Divorce Advice recommends: "Be it from who takes care of the grocery bill to dating other people, you should try to make clear what your boundaries are. If you choose not to see other people, stick to it." If you do date, be discreet.
- Avoid jealousy. "Your ex is no longer yours, so try not to be paranoid or obsess over whether he or she is dating again," the site says. The situation is bad enough as it is.
If you want to end the marriage but can't afford to hire an attorney, consider a cheapie, do-it-yourself divorce.
- Bing: Do-it-yourself divorces
But what if disposal of the family home is the main obstacle to splitting up? About a quarter of homeowners are underwater -- owing more on the house than it's worth -- and selling in a negative equity situation means dividing up debt.
Refinancing when you're underwater is nearly impossible. SmartMoney says:
If the couple isn't selling the house, the spouse who is staying has to refinance the mortgage -- that's the only way the bank will let the other go, says Richard Iglar, an attorney with Skoloff & Wolfe, a Livingston, N.J., law firm that focuses on matrimonial and real-estate law.
What can you do?
- Postpone the house sale. However, SmartMoney said, "If both spouses are on the mortgage, the one who moves out won't be able to get another mortgage should he or she want to buy another home." That might require renting or moving in with parents or friends.
- Rent the house to someone else and move into separate apartments.
- Consider a short sale. The bank may cancel the rest of the mortgage debt.
Regardless, it appears that history will repeat itself. According to the Post, the darkest days of the Great Depression saw a drop in the divorce rate, followed by a big upswing when times improved.
And look for an even greater spike among blue-collar folks. Men, particularly those with lower incomes, have suffered disproportionate job loss, and a National Marriage Project study (.pdf file) "predicts that the so-called 'mancession' will undercut marriage in working-class communities, furthering a 'divorce divide' that has been growing since the 1980s between couples with college degrees and those with less education."
Are you stuck with a spouse because of the economy or do you know someone who is? How does a person cope?

This book was pretty good, my favorite parts were Bridget's, Carmen's, and Lena's. I really didn't like Tibby's story that much. The end is sweet and sad but it's an enjoyable read.

I liked half of this book. Well, three-fourths. I didn't really care about Carmen, and I lost intrest in Tibby part way through. The ending is sad, and confusing. Lena's boyfriend situation is, and Bridget's life also get's boring. It's a must read though!

This book has an okay plot, but it's well written. I was excited with what could have happned to Tibby, but then it never happened and I was disapointed! The author is really good though, and I love all of her books! I personally like the other books better than this one though, and it's sad that this is the last book in the series!!!

Love the book although it is nothing like the others. This is something you MUST READ, but if you have NEVER read the FIRST BOOK then you HAVE to start there.

Geometric Sequences and Sums
A Sequence is a set of things (usually numbers) that are in order.
Geometric Sequences
In a Geometric Sequence each term is found by multiplying the previous term by a constant.
|2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, ...
This sequence has a factor of 2 between each number.
Each term (except the first term) is found by multiplying the previous term by 2.
In General you could write a Geometric Sequence like this:
{a, ar, ar2, ar3, ... }
- a is the first term, and
- r is the factor between the terms (called the "common ratio")
Example: {1,2,4,8,...}
The sequence starts at 1 and doubles each time, so
- a=1 (the first term)
- r=2 (the "common ratio" between terms is a doubling)
So we would get:
{a, ar, ar2, ar3, ... }
= {1, 1×2, 1×22, 1×23, ... }
= {1, 2, 4, 8, ... }
But be careful, r should not be 0:
- When r=0, you get the sequence {a,0,0,...} which is not geometric
The Rule
You can also calculate any term using the Rule:
xn = ar(n-1)
(We use "n-1" because ar0 is for the 1st term)
|10, 30, 90, 270, 810, 2430, ...
This sequence has a factor of 3 between each number.
The values of a and r are:
- a = 10 (the first term)
- r = 3 (the "common ratio")
The Rule for any term is:
xn = 10 × 3(n-1)
So, the 4th term would be:
x4 = 10×3(4-1) = 10×33 = 10×27 = 270
And the 10th term would be:
x10 = 10×3(10-1) = 10×39 = 10×19683 = 196830
A Geometric Sequence can also have smaller and smaller values:
|4, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25, ...
This sequence has a factor of 0.5 (a half) between each number.
Its Rule is xn = 4 × (0.5)n-1
Why "Geometric" Sequence?
Because it is like increasing the dimensions in geometry:
|a line is 1-dimensional and has a length of r
|in 2 dimensions a square has an area of r2
|in 3 dimensions a cube has volume r3
|etc (yes you can have 4 and more dimensions in mathematics).
Geometric Sequences are sometimes called Geometric Progressions (G.P.'s)
Summing a Geometric Series
When you need to sum a Geometric Sequence, there is a handy formula.
To sum:
a + ar + ar2 + ... + ar(n-1)
Each term is ark, where k starts at 0 and goes up to n-1
Use this formula:
a is the first term
r is the "common ratio" between terms
n is the number of terms
What is that funny symbol? It is called Sigma Notation
|(called Sigma) means "sum up"
And below and above it are shown the starting and ending values:
It says "Sum up n where n goes from 1 to 4. Answer=10
The formula is easy to use ... just "plug in" the values of a, r and n
Example: Sum the first 4 terms of
|10, 30, 90, 270, 810, 2430, ...
This sequence has a factor of 3 between each number.
The values of a, r and n are:
- a = 10 (the first term)
- r = 3 (the "common ratio")
- n = 4 (we want to sum the first 4 terms)
You could check it yourself:
10 + 30 + 90 + 270 = 400
And, yes, it was easier to just add them in this case, because there were only 4 terms. But imagine you had to sum up lots of terms, then the formula is better to use.
Using the Formula
Let's see the formula in action:
Example: Grains of Rice on a Chess Board
On our page Binary Digits we give an example of grains of rice on a chess board. The question is asked:
When you place rice on the chess board:
... doubling the grains of rice on each square ...
... how many grains of rice in total?
So we have:
- a = 1 (the first term)
- r = 2 (doubles each time)
- n = 64 (64 squares on a chess board)
= (1-264) / (-1) = 264 - 1
= 18,446,744,073,709,551,615
Which was exactly the result we got on the Binary Digits page (thank goodness!)
And another example, this time with r less than 1:
Example: Add up the first 10 terms of the Geometric Sequence that halves each time:
{ 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, ... }
The values of a, r and n are:
- a = ½ (the first term)
- r = ½ (halves each time)
- n = 10 (10 terms to add)
Very close to 1.
(Question: if we continue to increase n, what would happen?)
Why Does the Formula Work?
I want to show you why the formula works, because we get to use an interesting "trick" which is worth knowing.
|First, we will call the whole sum "S":
|S = a + ar + ar2 + ... + ar(n-2)+ ar(n-1)
|Next, multiply S by r:
|S·r = ar + ar2 + ar3 + ... + ar(n-1) + arn
Notice that S and S·r are similar?
Now subtract them!
Wow! All the terms in the middle neatly cancel out.
(That is the neat trick I wanted to show you.)
By subtracting S·r from S we get a simple result:
S − S·r = a − arn
Let's rearrange it to find S:
|Factor out S and a:
|S(1−r) = a(1−rn)
|Divide by (1-r):
|S = a(1−rn)/(1−r)
Which is our formula (ta-da!):
Infinite Geometric Series
So what happens when n goes to infinity?
Well ... when r is less than 1, then rn goes to zero and we get:
NOTE: this does not work when r is 1 or more (or less than -1):
r must be between (but not including) -1 and 1
and r should not be 0 because you get the sequence {a,0,0,...} which is not geometric
Let's bring back our previous example, and see what happens:
Example: Add up ALL the terms of the Geometric Sequence that halves each time:
{ 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, ... }
We have:
- a = 1/2 (the first term)
- r = 1/2 (halves each time)
And so:
= ½ × 1 / ½ = 1
Yes ... adding (1/2)+(1/4)+(1/8)+... equals exactly 1.
Don't believe me? Just look at this square:
By adding up (1/2)+(1/4)+(1/8)+...
... you end up with the whole thing!
Recurring Decimal
On another page we asked "Does 0.999... equal 1?", well, let us see if we can calculate it:
Example: Calculate 0.999...
We can write a recurring decimal as a sum like this:
And now we can use the formula:
Yes! 0.999... does equal 1.
So there you have it ... Geometric Sequences (and their sums) can do all sorts of amazing and powerful things.

LED Holiday Lights
Dreaming of a Green Christmas. Inhabitat has a great post on a great alternative to traditional holiday lights:
Compared to traditional Christmas lights, I'll be using 1/10th the amount of electricity to light the small LED's, and 1/160th for the larger bulbs.
For some, the eco-benefit isn't enough. Many of the commenters said "Bah humbug!" the light cast by LEDs is "eerie and cold." Do
ATers have experience or opinions on LED holiday lights? —aaron
20 Comments
Unfortunately the LED Christmas light manufacturers haven't done the greatest job of making the lights look like standard incandescent--yet. Some of the colored versions are indistinguishable and have a much deeper color than their incandescent cohorts. For the white however, it's a very cool white, and as such I can understand people's negative reactions. In the next year or so the color-changing ones will become more affordable, and the 'white' will be much warmer.
Of course my house is lit mostly by LEDs, so I'm sorta biased.
I'll tell you what's "errie and cold" -- our 5 different strings of christmas lights that no longer work because of a burned out bulb, bad fuse, etc. that seem impossible to find/replace. And each manufacturer makes their bulbs/fuses slightly different, making replacing them that much more difficult.
That problem alone makes LED lights superior.
I hope they become even more popular next year. Still looking for white wire LED lights.
I haven't seen any I liked. IMO, terrible.
If you have one of those white (reusable!) plastic christmas trees, I think the cooler color of the white LEDs would go pretty well.
Urged on by my husband and a fit of environmental consciousness, we switched to LED exterior lights this year. I shared the feeling that LED lights are cold and eerie looking, but for power consumption they can't be beat. They now sell LED lights in three different shades of white. The ones labelled "warm white" aren't as warm-coloured as traditional twinkly white lights, but they are much, much better than the usual icy-bluish white LEDs.
I bought a set of multi-color mini-LED lights for my table top tree this year and I'm very happy with them. They don't seem to produce any heat which is good, but the colors are intense not washed out as some I've seen. The only downside is there is no "twinkling" option. Another set I saw did a fade from one color to the next which was not very effective.
do you really see your electric bill increase that much with regular christmas lights?
YAY!!!! The trees on Park Avenue near Grand Central have these lights on them and I love them. Everytime I walk by them I think "man, I gotta find out where they got these". Now I know. Thanks AT!
LED lights can easily last over 50,000 hours! That's good enough for me. Just think, never having to change a light bulb because they're plastic so they won't break, and they won't burn out.
Plus if you have lots of lights, the $aving$ are also pretty good.
'Warm White' will be an option in the future. It's starting to show up as an option in high-end landscape lighting due to the bluish tint of the 'White'.
I don't mind the colored-LED lights. There is a jumbo, cobalt blue LED wreath in front of Chelsea Market that is so vivid.
Depends on what you buy.
We bought two sets last year for our fake tree and the look just fine (but with a smaller light radius).
We bought another, different brand this year to put up in the living room and they were god awful neon white. They looked like HID automobile headlights.
Is anyone else bothered by the flickering of LED Christmas lights?
I don't notice it while looking straight at them, but when I turn my head or move my eyes it's obvious, and annoying. It occurs because the LEDs turn full on and full off 60 times per second and leave little dot-traces as I scan past them. Tungsten-element bulbs glow continuously and don't have this problem.
The blue-white bothers me a bit, too...probably just because it's new and I'm middle-aged...but not nearly as much as the flickering.
My parents have the red LED lights, and I think they look just as good as regular lights.
bathroom sconces.
That is how i would like to use LEDs. Over the bathtub.
No, I don't see a difference in my electric bill - then again, said bill is setup so I pay an average every month.
My little game with the electric company is to see how low I can get the bill. Plus, with LEDs, I won't have to worry about them going out for some strange reason. I'll get some in the future, for right now I am fine.
Since I only use 2 strands for my tree, I doubt the savings would be enough for me to justify paying at least 4x the cost of traditional lights for the LED ones. Maybe if I were lighting up a house or something. I've had my traditional lights for at least 3 years now, and haven't had to replace a bulb yet and I think they were $2 a strand, versus $10+ for LEDs.
Personally I find high electricity bills and global warming eerie and cold.I didn't do decorations this year. but if I do them next year, I'd definitely use LEDs over regular lights.
I sell the LED c7/c9 to commercial and consumers...I can tell you that on commercial applications the "cool clear" looks fantastic. In a residental application they are "so so" I just got my 2007 samples and the "warm white" looks very incandescent like and the color changing is VERY cool.
Happy Holiday's!!!
In response to the question of "do you really see your electric bill increase that much with regular christmas lights". LOL I put up about 20,000 lights with about 150 characters with spotlights. Normally a $600.00 electric bill for december. We only started to convert to led this year. Only about a quarter of the spotlights and half of the christmas light strings. I didn't have to replace one single led. We recieve an elctric bill right after christmas which normally has the $600. part. This year-----$234.
And, our electric company just implemented a 34% price increase. Change is good!!!! And, we love the colors.
I think it's better to buy LED ones once than pay every year large bills for electricity. Look this biggest christmas lights home decorations. There are people who pay $6k/month for the lights.

Strategies for Survival: Dealing with Infant Loss
"My heart is broken, but not my spirit. My desire to be a mother is greater than a fear of another miscarriage," says Gina Mack, of Woodlawn, Maryland, who suffered the loss of three preterm babies in 16 months. "I just think back to when I wanted a baby in the beginning, and that feeling is still there."
Mack never removes her cherished necklace with the word "mother" scripted in gold, adorned with three birthstones in memory of daughters, Nicole and Skyler, and son, James. She and her husband, Tony, attend support group meetings, provide each other with an unconditional listening ear, and find ways to honor their "angels"—all important steps in the healing process say social workers Debbie Johnston and Nancy Campbell, who run a pregnancy and infant bereavement program at Greater Baltimore Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland.
"We're helping to lay stepping stones along the pathway to grieving," explains Johnston. "We can't take away the grief; by taking away the grief, we're denying this baby existed."
These two social workers, who share an office and often finish each other's sentences, have helped hundreds of parents and loved ones navigate through the grieving process, arming them with the following coping strategies. Here's how they help families get through loss.
Allow Yourself to Grieve
"A person is a person . . . no matter how small." Johnston chose Dr. Seuss's words for the opening page of a guidebook she assembled for grieving parents and says the subject of pregnancy and infant loss is becoming less taboo. "This is how you survive, allowing yourself to grieve through it," she says.

was it a choke or did pakistan totally outplay south africa?
was it a choke or did pakistan totally outplay south africa?
They were choked by Umer Gul and Shahid Afridi.
I think there was bit of a choke when the spinners came on, but they recovered and played as well as they could have from thereon.
Pakistan played well & big match pressure on South Africa, wasn't a choke honestly, you would feel for South Africa
Pakistan Outplayed South Africa. Younis Khan made good decisions starting from winning the Toss and electing to bat, sending in Afridi @ 3 and Saving Umar Gul for the crunch time. With a little luck his decisions and the risks he took paid off.
It is not a choke, SA were never in a winning position in this match.
I can't take anything away from Pakistan.
To be fair, whenever they've needed to win a match they've played well.
Big kudos to Gul. The man has nerves of steel and Amir for a 17 year old has impressed me. He's already bowling mid to late 80's and hasn't completely grown. Look at what happened to Broad in the last few months in regard to pace. Promising talent, Wasim needs to grab hold of him and become his mentor.
All-Time Test XI:
Gavaskar, Boycott, Tendulkar, G.Pollock, V.Richards, Sobers, Gilchrist (wk), Warne (c), Waqar/Wasim, Lillee, Ambrose.
Choking would be if they were on their way to win and then collapsed (either bowling or batting). Not the case here.
-My beliefs summarized in words much more eloquent than I could come up with
How the Universe came from nothing
Outplayed by Pakistan? Yes. Choke? No.
If the South African players simply bowled full-tosses all innings, and then batted without any application; then they would have choked. As it turned out, South Africa bowled well, batted with a target in mind; and just ended up falling short of a team that had a couple of starring individual performances.
Of course it was a choke. It was a MASSIVE choke. They had what most described by most as the best team on paper and they couldn't even make it to the finals. That's the definition of a quality choke.
Rest In Peace Craigos
Also, Younus only allowing Gul 3 overs was a howler IMHO. He got away with it, but to leave the star seamer from the entire tournament an over shy was a boo-boo, surely?
Cricket Web's 2013/14 Premier League Tipping Champion
- As featured in The Independent.
"as much a news event as an actual footballer, a worthy stop-start centre forward, but an all-time hyper-galactico when it comes to doing funny things with cars and hats, a player whose signing proves once again that the Premier League is still undoubtedly the best in the world when it comes to doing things with cars and hats."
- Barney Ronay on Mario Balotelli
It's a mixture of both....
The Saffer bowling has been great throughout the tournament. However, the batting has not been impressive, despite the list of stellar names. In six matches, they only passed 150 twice. That's just not good enough....
The bowling is what carried them so far. However, Afridi took them on, and when the Saffers were set 150 to win, predictably, they couldn't chase it down.
The Saffers need to take a long, hard look at their batting line-up for this format.
Definitely a Choke. The best team on paper by miles and they outplayed a lot of quality opposition and come finals, they are back to their routine.

Although you'll also see Fat Gray couldn't even get that right...

Thank you.

Hi Thomas. That's a good list of racquets. I guess this is only current racquets cuz imho the Prince EXO3 Tour is the most arm friendly racquet available due to it's insanely low stiffness rating of 52! The current prince tour pro version has a stiffness of 58 and the Prince Pro 98 has a stiffness of 60. You might take a look at the EXO3 and let me know what you think.
also here is an older post off my blog of arm friendly racquets that might help people. http://lovesetmatch.net/wp/blog/best-tennis-racquets-for-tennis-elbow/
I agree that the Prince EX03 was a great arm friendly racquet in fact it used to be on my top 10 list but is out of production. Prince has come up with a number of new great arm friendly racquets and the ESP line has an open string pattern for an even softer feel
even though it's out of production I see if often on craigslist and on ebay. It's only a couple years old so very attainable and still in demand. I highly recommend it for anyone struggling with arm problems. While the string pattern may be more open, I think the stiffness rating of the racquet has more of an effect on the arm and secondly string type then string pattern, would you agree?
Hi, thanks for your list!
I usually play with ProKennex Ki5 and I pretty much love it!:)
The Pro Kennex Ki5 is an excellent choice, not only does it have all the characteristics of an arm friendly frame such as flexibility, head light balance and mass but it also has proprietary anti vibration technology from Pro Kennex a company known for arm friendly racquets.

Understanding scam victims: seven principles for systems security
Frank Stajano, Paul Wilson
August 2009, 22 pages
The success of many attacks on computer systems can be traced back to the security engineers not understanding the psychology of the system users they meant to protect. We examine a variety of scams and "short cons" that were investigated, documented and recreated for the BBC TV programme The Real Hustle and we extract from them some general principles about the recurring behavioural patterns of victims that hustlers have learnt to exploit.
We argue that an understanding of these inherent "human factors" vulnerabilities, and the necessity to take them into account during design rather than naïvely shifting the blame onto the "gullible users", is a fundamental paradigm shift for the security engineer which, if adopted, will lead to stronger and more resilient systems security.

Juggernaut (character)Talk22
this wiki
- For other uses, see Juggernaut.
The Juggernaut is a heavily armored enemy that first appeared in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's Special Ops mode, with them being subsequently featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
The Modern Warfare variant of Juggernauts are heavily protected by explosive ordnance disposal armor, requiring excessive amounts of damage to kill. When encountered, they are able to deal out massive injuries with a shotgun or a light machine gun. In contrast, the Black Ops variant appears to be wearing body armor, and as a result, doesn't have as much health.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2Edit
Juggernauts only appear in the Special Ops mode of the game, since they do not appear in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 singleplayer campaign and were cut from multiplayer.
Little is known about the Juggernauts. They are probably Russians, as they speak Russian and are seen with other Russian forces in the "Museum" level. It is unknown who employed them or who they officially work for, but it is most likely they are renegade mercenaries, because they are seen fighting alongside Shadow Company in "Snatch & Grab", with Makarov's elite mercenaries in "Estate Takedown", alone in "High Explosive" and "Armor Piercing" and with Russian Armed Forces in "Museum". This is also supported by the fact that they use the M240 and were supposed to use the Striker, as seen in concept art.
The words "Get Sum!" and "Kick Me!" are scrawled on the front and rear groin sections of the Juggernaut's armor. A decal of a skull can also be seen in the armor that covers their shoulders.
They appear in the Special Ops missions "Snatch & Grab", "Estate Takedown", "Armor Piercing", and "High Explosive".
A Juggernaut's tactics differ from a normal enemy in that they tend to approach the player head on and rarely take cover, nor do they aim down their sights, though in some missions, they do take cover (most notably in "Armor Piercing"). Juggernauts are quite fast despite their heavy armor, and will charge the player at a steady jog while constantly "spraying and praying". They are generally accompanied by an sudden ominous musical cue that plays before they appear on screen. Unlike regular enemies, Juggernauts do not lose their footing or become stunned while taking fire due to their heavy armor. Even a direct hit from an explosive will only cause them to stumble slightly. However, a direct hit from a sniper rifle will cause one to stagger or possibly fall over, interrupting his attack.
Juggernauts can survive an incredible amount of damage, requiring almost 80 rounds of assault rifle fire, at least five Intervention sniper rifle torso shots, around 14 shotgun blasts, or five to six direct hits from a M203 40mm grenade launcher to kill.
By far, the best weapons with which to engage Juggernauts are the Barrett .50cal, which only requires three to five shots to kill, and the Thumper, which, if aimed correctly, can kill a Juggernaut with one hit to the head. One must note that the round must explode but not direct impact to one-shot-kill a Juggernaut. Rocket launchers such as the RPG-7 and the AT4 are just as effective as the Thumper, able to neutralize a Juggernaut with a single headshot. 10 blocks of C4 or claymores will kill a Juggernaut quickly as long as the player can get the enemy to approach without prematurely setting off either explosive.
In "Armor Piercing" and "High Explosive", unharmed, newly spawned ones will hold their ground and move only after some time, after the player shoots at them or otherwise makes his presence known to one. When dealing with multiple enemies, a Juggernaut should take top priority. While most enemies will stay behind cover and keep their distance, the Juggernaut will aggressively seek out and attack the player. Juggernauts will take more than 76 rounds of sub-machine gun fire to stumble over and die. They could be killed by one/two shots to the head by a sniper rifle like the Barrett 50 Cal. of the Dragunov.
|The subject matter of this article was cut from the final version of a Call of Duty game.
On April 13th, 2012, the official Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Facebook page confirmed that "Heavy Armor", like the Juggernaut killstreak, was to appear in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 but was scrapped before it was added to the game.
Robert Bowling also stated it was originally to be a level 4 upgrade for the Juggernaut perk in multiplayer, however this was replaced by Pro versions of perks.[1]
Call of Duty: Black OpsEdit
The Juggernauts or "Heavies", as the game files refer to them as, appear in the singleplayer missions "Vorkuta" and "Redemption"
The Juggernauts are visually distinct from their Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 counterparts, equipped with what appears to be riot armor, leading them to somewhat resemble the Flak Jacket character model from multiplayer.
When first encountered, they are Soviet prison guards, sent in to quell the Vorkuta escape attempt by trying to stop Viktor Reznov and Alex Mason as they try to break into the armory. In "Redemption" Juggernauts are part of the Soviet detachment on-board the Rusalka, defending it from attacking American forces.
The ones in Vorkuta wield KS-23 shotguns, while the ones in Redemption use RPKs. The latter can also be put into Last Stand, in which this case they will pull out a Full-Auto CZ75.
They are more resistant to bullets compared to ordinary enemies; and are also highly resistant to explosions. On lower difficulties, they are easy to kill, but on Veteran, the player should try for headshots to quickly dispose of them. Nevertheless, they are not as heavily armored as their Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 counterparts. In "Vorkuta", killing one requires approximately two to three KS-23 shots to the torso or one point-blank shot or a headshot, or roughly 27 to 45 rounds from an AK-47 to the chest and approximately half of a magazine of the AK-47 to the head. Furthermore, it is possible to gib the Juggernaut, although doing so is difficult.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3Edit
- "Yes, there are juggernauts returning from the previous games; there will be several different types of them, too."
- — Rubin discussing Juggernauts in Modern Warfare 3.
Juggernauts appear in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, once again taking the form of enemies in Special Ops, Survival Mode and Special Ops Chaos.
Compared to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Juggernauts in this game are noticeably slower, moving at a steady walk instead of running, although they can sprint (albeit slower than a regular soldier) to catch up with the player if the player is on the far side of the map (they will also sprint when their health is low).
As with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and unlike their Black Ops counterparts, Juggernauts are tough enemies, with the basic variant capable of withstanding at least 70 assault rifle rounds at close range or around 80 to 90 rounds at long range, while the armored counterpart is significantly more durable. Juggernauts also receive a minor health multiplier in later rounds or higher difficulty maps.
Juggernauts appear in three variants: the regular Juggernaut armed with a PKP Pecheneg, the Riot Shield Juggernaut armed with a Riot Shield and said light machine gun, as well as the Explosive Juggernaut which begins to appear in later boss waves and possesses heavier armor (visually similar in appearance to the EOD suit seen in the campaign and multiplayer) which allow them to sustain even more damage than a regular Juggernaut. Juggernauts will never drop their PKP Pecheneg when killed, although Riot Shield Juggernauts will drop their Riot Shield. However, the dropped shield will invariably have its durability almost depleted (note that unlike other modes, player-held Survival mode Riot Shields eventually break from damage).
Because of their heavy protection and armament, head-on firefights are ill-advised. Juggernauts are best dealt with using tactics like flanking, explosives, Predator missiles, and airstrikes. Judicious use of Claymores, C4 and Flashbangs are recommended to minimize exposure to their return fire while wearing them down. A useful tactic is stacking multiple explosives at the spot directly beneath a Juggernaut's helicopter drop-off point to eliminate at least one at the start of a boss wave. High rate of fire automatic weapons directed at the head are recommended when gunfire is employed against a Juggernaut and notably, auto-shotguns like the AA-12 or the USAS-12 will be very good against Juggernauts, especially when two players, each armed with one shotgun, concentrate their firepower against the enemy.
Riot Shield Juggernauts tend to advance toward the player slowly while crouched, keeping their shield facing toward the most threatening player, and are less dangerous offensively as they will not fire their machine gun until they are at very close range. However, the shield cover means that more creative tactics are needed to inflict damage on them. Stunning a Riot Shield Juggernaut with a flashbang will stagger them for a few seconds, providing a window to deal damage; after being dealt sufficient damage, they will permanently drop their Riot Shield and behave like a normal Juggernaut. Alternatively one can easily knife the Riot Shield Juggernaut in the back if said enemies are the only remaining enemies in the wave, since they hold their shield out front and have little protection from the rear, however this will cause them to immediately turn round and return fire.
Explosive Juggernauts bear resemblance to the ones from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's Special Ops, as they wear more or less the same outfit with a slightly different color scheme on their body armor and a striped paint job on their blast helmet. They are incredibly resilient, and in later waves of Survival Mode, even a direct hit from a Predator Missile or airstrike will not kill them, though the damage they receive is nevertheless significant and expedites their elimination (players can try to have one partner fire a Predator missile while the other sticks the AC-130 grenade to the Juggernaut in an open area to kill it faster). Note that all three variants begin to run at a much faster pace when their health is low, and while this makes them more dangerous, they are actually close to death.
Survival ModeEdit
On Easy difficulty, they mostly appear in waves 10 (1 Juggernaut), 15 (2 Juggernauts), 20 (3 Juggernauts), and 26 (2 Armored Juggernauts and 1 Riot Shield Juggernaut). On the opposite end of the spectrum is Insane difficulty, where they first appear in every sixth wave (waves 6, 11 and 16), and from then on, in every third wave (19, 22, 25, 28, etc.); on Insane, they are accompanied by 6 to 12 normal troops, and attack helicopters, increasing the complexity and difficulty of handling the Juggernauts.
They enter the map via an Mi-8 helicopter (which can be attacked but is invulnerable for balance purposes). Once the helicopter is in position, a smoke grenade will be thrown and the Juggernaut will rappel down into the smoke. They will destroy any Sentry Turrets if they see them and/ or if attacked by the turret. The most effective weapons to kill a Juggernaut are explosives (C4 can be deployed under the rope they rappel from and used for an easy kill), shotguns (specifically the automatic models) and light machine guns.
Some types of assault rifles are usable against the Juggernaut, but only high damage ones are able to eliminate a Juggernaut with any practical success, examples would be the CM901 and the MK14, because both possess high damage, and the CM901 is capable of eliminating a Juggernaut at close range with one magazine at earlier waves if the player lands most of the shots in the head, or two magazines if hitting the body. The MK14 can be used if the player is fast enough, and more often than not, will eliminate a Juggernaut probably as fast as any other effective weapon for killing Juggernauts. Another effective method is with the M60E4, you need to get close to it and move around it staying out of its sights and shooting it and knife it a few times to take it down.
Flashbangs are also extremely useful because they can incapacitate a Juggernaut for several seconds and can give the player's team a chance to take it out. Predator missiles and airstrikes are also highly effective against these enemies due to their potential to kill multiple Juggernauts at once. Note that the airstrike will deal much more damage than a Predator, and won't require a direct hit on higher levels, although it is more difficult to use without the Juggernauts killing the player or moving out of the airstrike impact zone due to the wait-time before the AC-130 fires upon them. Flashbangs are useful for pinning them in place while waiting for the airstrike shells to arrive. If you run out of flashbangs, run in circles around them stabbing and shooting an auto shotgun at their general head area. Their extremely low maneuverability will allow the player to escape and never get shot whatsoever.
Special Ops ChaosEdit
Juggernauts also appear in Special Ops Chaos Mode, in all three of their forms (Riot Shield, normal and Explosive).
Juggernaut armor crates can be acquired from the Juggernaut reward for Assault Strike Packages and the Juggernaut Recon reward for Support Strike Packages. All survivors in Infected "Striker vs Jugg" begin with a similar outfit by default and lose it once they are neutralized. The bomb carrier in 'Money in the Denk' is also equipped with heavy armor which disappears when the bomb is planted, when the player is killed, when the player leaves the game or when the match is over. For balance purposes, multiplayer Juggernauts have significantly less health than their Special Ops counterparts, unless they have a Riot Shield, and can easily be disposed of with a heavy explosive, or with headshots; alternatively, players facing these behemoths can simply use team tactics by concentrating substantial amounts of gunfire on them until they fall.
Xbox MarketplaceEdit
A Juggernaut suit for male and females is available on the Xbox Marketplace, a code for which was included in the Hardened edition of Modern Warfare 3. A t-shirt bearing the Juggernaut icon is also available.

- At the Call of Duty XP event, attendees were able to sumo wrestle in Juggernaut suits.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2Edit
- The Juggernaut helmet emblem can be earned by getting a three killstreak with a riot shield without dying.
- The Juggernaut's helmet says R7130.
- Juggernauts do not use melee. Even if a player stands next to one, it will keep firing its weapon. This was amended in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
- Juggernauts speak in the Special Ops mission, "Armor Piercing", and sometimes speak in the Special Ops mission, "Snatch & Grab", where one can hear some Russian dialogues while all the Shadow Company soldiers speak English.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3Edit
- Juggernauts will spawn as close to the player as possible. Unless an allied chopper (not Perk Care Package Chopper, it must be dropping off Delta and Riot Shield personnel) is in the airspace, they will always spawn in the immediate area of the player. This will apply if a player is on one end of the map, and the other player on the other, one Juggernaut will go after whichever one is closest to it. If it is a two Juggernaut round, one Juggernaut will go after each player, with the other one (if on a three Juggernaut round), going after the closest player.
- The Regular Juggernaut is noticeably shorter than the Armored Juggernaut.
- All Juggernaut models present in multiplayer are of the Armored Juggernaut variant.
- A calendar depicting a Juggernaut on a beach entitled "Summer Juggernaut" can be found in various places throughout Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Note the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 model.
- Juggernauts in Modern Warfare 3 seem to wear Multicam, visible when looking at their pants below and between armor plates.

ROCK COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) - Three southern Wisconsin men are due back in court on Tuesday, after being convicted and sentenced for illegally shining and shooting deer.
23-year-old Joshua Beyer of Janesville, 22-year-old Chris Kummer of Milton, and 20-year-old Chris Taylor of Evansville pleaded no contest in Rock County to numerous counts of illegal deer shining.
Beyer was ordered to spend a jail in jail, and was fined a total of almost $11,000 on seven misdemeanor shining convictions.
Kummer and Taylor were both fined around $3,000. Kummer was also given probation for 3 years on 7 shining convictions, while Taylor pleaded no contest to two counts. All three defendants also had their hunting privileges suspended or revoked.
The DNR said they were convicted for illegally shining and shooting at 7 deer – but the numbers of animals were most likely a lot more.
The case began when a Rock County sheriff's officer saw people in two pick-up trucks shining into a field last December. Authorities investigated for 5 months before charges were filed in May.

There are still some hours left to summer 2013, but don't tell that to the Minnesota DNR. The folks at the Department of Natural Resources are already watching for leaves to begin their annual autumn show of spectacular color.
The DNR website shows where the best places are to look for color, and Thursday's map shows the northwest corner of the state is one of the best spots right now, at 10-25% peak.
The website also lists Buffalo State Park near Glyndon as one of this week's top picks to color watch. http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/fall_colors/index.html

clock speed
Also called clock rate, the speed at which a microprocessor executes instructions. Every computer contains an internal clock that regulates the rate at which instructions are executed and synchronizes all the various computer components. The CPU requires a fixed number of clock ticks (or clock cycles) to execute each instruction. The faster the clock, the more instructions the CPU can execute per second.
Clock speeds are expressed in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz ((GHz).
The internal architecture of a CPU has as much to do with a CPU's performance as the clock speed, so two CPUs with the same clock speed will not necessarily perform equally. Whereas an Intel 80286 microprocessor requires 20 cycles to multiply two numbers, an Intel 80486 or later processor can perform the same calculation in a single clock tick. (Note that clock tick here refers to the system's clock, which runs at 66 MHz for all PCs.) These newer processors, therefore, would be 20 times faster than the older processors even if their clock speeds were the same. In addition, some microprocessors are superscalar, which means that they can execute more than one instruction per clock cycle.
Like CPUs, expansion buses also have clock speeds. Ideally, the CPU clock speed and the bus clock speed should be the same so that neither component slows down the other. In practice, the bus clock speed is often slower than the CPU clock speed, which creates a bottleneck. This is why new local buses, such as AGP, have been developed.

Painting with light to show WiFi networks
WiFi is everywhere, floating and whirling around us somehow, but where is it really? In Immaterials: Light painting WiFi, Timo Arnall, Jørn Knutsen and Einar Sneve Martinussen use a rod of blinking lights to visualize signal strength in their college town.
In order to study the spatial and material qualities of wireless networks, we built a WiFi measuring rod that visualises WiFi signal strength as a bar of lights. When moved through space the rod displays changes in the WiFi signal. Long-exposure photographs of the moving rod reveal cross sections of a network's signal strength.
The stronger the signal strength, the more lights that illuminate in that specific spot, updating as the walker/carrier moves. Then using long-exposure photographs, the lights are recorded for beautiful results. Super simple concept, yet very effective. See the device in action in the video below.
[YOUrban via @wattenberg]
7 Comments
'Seamful' is the word. What a clash of meanings when this display of signal strength looks like a security fence…
What is interesting to me is the degree of spatial variability of a single network's signal strength. I also wonder if charting the same network over the same 'path' at different times would show variability; hinting at other variables affecting signal strength. Really interesting concept and a great visualisation.

OK, Bash Attendees
Since this is my first bash, I want to make sure I cover my head with the newspaper and yell "Great Scott!" at the right times. (If you don't understand, you never will.)
Tawn and I will be driving up on Saturday morning. I figure we can leave here about 8, be at her parent's house about 11:15, and be ready to hit the town by 1:00. We're staying at the Mayfair Hotel (Tawn likes antiques, that's why she went out with me in the first place). It's right across the street from the Renaissance, really close to the dome, half a mile from the Arch, and the price isn't too bad.
I know we'll all meet at Jake's sometime Saturday night, but being the noob I'm curious about what goes on besides this.
Oh, and count us out on the after-game party. We've got to drive back home and get Sami ready for school on Monday.

Memorial Day Murder - Colin Cotterill
I hope that all of you had a very relaxing and fun Memorial Day weekend.
Whether you got away for the long weekend or not, it's likely that sand, sun, and perhaps a good beach read were on your mind. 'Tis the season—and it will be for the next few months.
Of course "normal" beach reads transport the reader to sun drenched settings like Sanibel Island, Natucket, or Capri, and are chock-full of romance, great food, or other niceties.
But if you're in the mood for something a little different you can find it in the pages of Colin Cotterill's Grandad, There's a Head on the Beach (available Jun 19). I just love the words of that title! You'll meet our feisty young heroine Jimm Juree, and get acquainted with her small village in Southern Thailand.
Sometimes a visual will be an immediate image, fully formed in my head right away, as was the case for this book. So during my preliminary cover conference meeting I drew my idea (below) for the publisher and editor right in the meeting.
People in the meeting liked the approach. As the sketch reached the far end of the table Keith Kahla, the editor, looked at it. With enthusiasm and excitement in his voice, he joyfully proclaimed "No, I don't think so." This sarcasm is Keith's way—it's actually very endearing.
I left the meeting uncertain of what to do—my notes just indicating that I should keep thinking and try something different.
When we published the first Jimm Juree novel Killed at the Whim of a Hat, the very talented artist Rob Wood had created images for me during early work on that book. Luckily, I still had those photographs, some of which are below.
Using Rob's photos, I put together the crude rough below. Seeing this more-polished version of the original concept, Keith came around to the general idea, but still wanted to see me try a new idea as well.
So I needed an artist to do it for real. I contacted the amazing Hugh Syme, and a few weeks later Hugh gave me the beautiful art at left. Additionally, an extreme cropping of his image provided that elusive alternate idea that Keith had been seeking.
For the final we changed the color of the sky, added a border, and reworked the typography. I'm so pleased with how the visual turned out, and I hope that people enjoy the book.

15 U.S. Code § 2401 - Congressional findings
prev | next
The Congress finds that—
(1) the rate of productivity growth in the United States has declined during four of the past six years;
(2) the decline in the rate of productivity growth has contributed to inflation, to economic stagnation, and to increasing unemployment;
(3) since 1965, the rate of productivity growth of the United States has been consistently lower than that of many industrial nations in the world, adversely affecting the competitive position of the United States in world markets;
(4) growth in productivity of the economy of the United States is essential to the social and economic welfare of the American people, and to the health of the world economy;
(5) growth in the productivity of the Nation's economy is essential to maintain and increase employment, to stabilize the cost of living and to provide job security;
(6) mounting worldwide material shortages and their consequent inflationary results make increased efficiency in the utilization of these resources of urgent importance;
(7) sharing the fruits of productivity gains among labor, management, and owners may considerably influence productivity;
