I saw this film last night by accident.
I have only two comments:
1) This is, arguably, the dumbest film I have ever seen in my life. And I've seen a few.
2) The Times review of the movie is much more entertaining than the movie itself.

This movie was a very good street racing movie for the people who like the modified import cars. To review it on a basis of people who don't like the "loud" cars can not rate a car movie. I personaly love this movie it shows just how many peaple like this kind of cars.

I think that 2Fast 2Furious is an awesome movie. It's filled with edge of your seat, nail biting action. I think that the people who are currently dissing this movie are just jealous for one of two reasons. Either they're jealous that they are not as good looking as Paul Walker (or Tyrese for that matter), or they're jealous that they can't afford one of those sweet cars. The only thing that I did not like about this movie is...who in their right might would even consider destroying that Mustang like that. It's a classic car, no matter how new it is, just by association with the Mustangs that came before it.

I'm sick of people knocking this movie because "Vin Diesel" wasn't in it. WHO GIVES A FLYING F__K!! I saw that he couldn't really act in "XXX", because that movie really was the pits. I think Tyrese and Paul made a great team in the sequel. They didn't overpower the movie with cars racing and the plot was well set.
John Singleton did a superb job in directing this movie. I just have this eerie feeling the critics don't wanna give him his props cause he's black and talented.
Well money talks, and it's number one at the box office so eat that u HATERS.

The NY Times editor is a bit 2 conceited. Granted this movie is no work of art, but it succeeds at what it was meant to accomplish. The first movie had great action scenes, and Vin Diesel carried the thin plot. However it fell short. 2F2F is better written and, believe it or not, has better action sequences. The beginning and ending scenes make it worth buying a ticket. Granted Paul Walker's acting ability is a joke, and Tyrese isn't much better, but it works for this movie. Anyone into cars will enjoy this movie!

Contrary to the first review I read, I don't agree that this movie has lost it's edge from the 1st one. From my experience watching this movie, I must say that the storyline has improved overall, and you can tell that the writers have beefed up the action alittle to keep the edge, and viewers interested. It sure kept me interested, as with all of the other movie goers sitting in the packed theatre with me, raising there hands and getting into the movie as if they were part of it. I think when it comes to judging a movie; in the real world, that's all that matters. And me; who is a very strict critic of what sucks and what is good, I give it a thumbs up. The movie was alittle short on the edges in areas, but the continuous action sequesces and glamorous details of the speed kept the interest high, thus overshadowing any negative effects that this movie may have shown as defective. The crowd most of the time doesn't pay attention to character traits, the details of action scenes, and which takes are good or not. They just want to see a good movie, and feel the thrill, and when you get the crowd watching involved and iterested, all the rest of the bull is just that. I came out of it with a smile, and that's all that matters, and most of us will agree. So what else is there to say.

TUESDAY, Oct. 12 (HealthDay News) -- New research suggests the
short-term ability to remember bits of information involving
spatial reasoning is not jeopardized by injury to the part of the
brain that is central to memory.
The observation, which runs contrary to previous thought,
concerns what researchers refer to as "working memory," namely the
ability to remember in the short run, rather than the long
This would mean that patients should be able to retain the
ability, for example, to recall where they just put their keys even
after suffering damage to a part of the brain that researchers have
long identified as critical to memory function.
"The findings provide strong evidence for a fundamental distinction in the brain between working memory and long-term memory, even in the realm of spatial information and spatial-object associations," lead author Larry R. Squire, a professor of psychiatry, psychology and neurosciences at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, said in a university news release.
Squire, who is also a scientist at the VA San Diego Healthcare
System, reports his team's findings in the Oct. 13 issue of
The Journal of Neuroscience.
The researchers worked with four patients with damage to their
medial temporal lobes (MTL) in the cerebral cortex region of the
brain where the hippocampus is located. The MTL is linked to
long-term memory, and all the patients were categorized as
After studying object arrangements on a table, the patients were
asked to reconstruct the same arrangement on another table.
The patients had no problem doing so when only three or fewer
objects were involved, thereby only requiring short-term memory
function. But when the number of objects exceeded three, long-term
memory function kicked in, and the patients started to have
difficulty recreating the table arrangement.
"Their performance abruptly collapsed when the limit of working memory was reached," Squire said.
"It indicates that patients with memory impairment due to MTL damage, including early-stage Alzheimer's disease, have a narrower difficulty than what one might have thought," he noted. "They have an intact ability to hold information in [the] mind, and an ability to work with it on a temporary basis."

There is a beacon of light in the Cleveland area peaking through the smoldering ash clouds of torched Lebron James jerseys. Though still in the developmental phase, the Cleveland Indians are writing their own "Major League" script this season. While Lebron and the likes of Rachel Phelps moved south for reasons of taking talents or Cha-Cha having to eat real dog food, the Indians are staying strong in a city where most of the athletes are sponsored by U-Haul. Have another Jack Daniels, Harry Doyle, the Central Division crown may just be a headdress this year.
Yes, it is too early to get all worked up and make predictions, but, this is the A.L. Central. The Royals only win for "nicest Sunday uniforms," and the Twins are indoor dogs still acclimating to life outdoors. It's a three-team race and even Jimmy the Greek could not give you a definite winner. So, you're tellin'' me there's a chance!? Yes Lloyd, I am.
Unlike successful Indians teams of the past, this current roster does not have any high-priced talent or egos that jump off the paper. I'm sure at one point Indians management said, " We forgot about Lowe and Hafner because they are only high-priced." Don't tell the Yankees this, but it is not a terrible tragedy to win with a collection of talent as opposed to superstars clogging the line-up with self-centered toilet tissue. Get the plunger, A-Rod.
The entire Indians batting order has provided small pieces of offense thus far, and players like Casey Kotchman are beginning to make it a trend, not a one-hit wonder. When the concept is team batting average, the pressure of a single person carrying the RBI keg is lifted. Travis Hafner looks like Shrek, sans the green paint, but he doesn't have the cartoon muscles required to carry the offensive output of the whole club. This was the idea in years past and why he struggled. It's not easy to swing a bat when there are 24 other guys on your shoulders with no talking donkey to provide comic relief. Hopefully, Joe Boo received his shipment of rum and the long ball numbers will mimic 2006 for Hafner.
The only questionable piece of the puzzle would be the pitching staff. Derek Lowe has decided to show he has talent to go with his price, but it would be a stretch to think the 38-year-old sinker-baller can keep up the barrage of ground ball outs later in the season. He may want to rub a little jalapeno in his nose and use it when the umps aren't looking. Jimenez was a winner against Seattle, tonight, but that's just the Mariners. Can Ubaldo and Masterson crank out wins against the Tigers as the summer heat rises in Progressive field? Do they hear 'Wild Thing," playing in the back of their minds like the rest of Cleveland? If the staff can get it together, and keep it together, the Indians have a real chance.
With a payroll in the bottom half of the MLB bank, and no expert giving the ole "snowballs chance," why not take a line from Jake Taylor, " And win the whole f&%#ing thing." The King left, but that is in the past. Save your matches and lighter fluid, Cleveland, you must now overthrow the prince - or help him change his hair color.
Cleveland Indians Are Back?

V. Stiviano won't cooperate with the NBA Commissioner's investigation in regard to Donald Sterling and his racist comments caught on tape. According to NewsOXY, the Los Angeles Clippers owner is in hot water after a tape of him making very inappropriate remarks while talking to his girlfriend (Stiviano) surfaced.
"Shelly Sterling claims in her lawsuit Stiviano embezzled $1.8 million by scheming to get as much as she could from an old man -- Donald Sterling. Stiviano claims everything she got was a gift," reports TMZ. Naturally Sterling could be removed as owner of the Clippers pending this investigation -- but Stiviano could be a key player in that move.
V. Stiviano won't cooperate with the NBA but her decision to stay quiet reportedly has nothing to do with the tape. According to her attorney, anything that his client says to NBC Commissioner Adam Silver could affect the outcome of the lawsuit brought against her by Sterling's estranged wife. In many ways this is a smart idea but in order for the NBA to complete their investigation, they really need to talk with Stiviano -- and they will likely make that happen.
Stiviano's attorney says that if the NBA agrees to certain terms (major limitations during the questioning), he might allow his client to sit down and talk. However, that's not where he's focusing his attention right now.
More on why V. Stiviano won't cooperate with the NBA in the video above. Also, TMZ has just released audio tape in which you can hear Sterling making racist comments.

Oilers Recall O'Marra
Oilers recalled Ryan O'Marra today. He's a checking center and a guy who has spent a lot of PK time in the minors. He's 20, 4-4-8 +5 but wasn't the callup of choice among Oiler fans. What happened?
Teemu Hartikainen would have been my choice, but he's out 4-6 weeks with a shoulder injury (by the way, Taylor Hall's injury is now 2 to 4 weeks). I mentioned the other day that there were several worthy candidates in OKC and the choice of O'Marra is curious based on box cars.
Some possible reasons they recalled another checking C:
- This move was made as a reward for all the hard work. As you may remember, O'Marra spent a long time in the outhouse with this organization after coming over in the Ryan Smyth trade.
- The organization is serious about players spending years in OKC before getting a callup. This was a featured item in the first Oil Change episode this fall, the organization feeling they needed to impress on young players that the AHL was part of the plan.
- They aren't going to use Sam Gagner at center in the Renney regime.
- Anton Lander is going to move to the wing for awhile
- A center is injured and we haven't been told about it.
- A trade is coming (hey, at least I'm consistent).
- They aren't that high on Phil Cornet as an NHL player.
- They are worried about Gilbert Brule's waivers.
However, I don't think it is any of that stuff. No, my theory is that Ryan O'Marra is getting this NHL shot as an agitator/fighter, and that if he is successful then someone else will get sent out. O'Marra has been adding fighting to his resume over the last year or so, and I'm convinced this is the reason he got the call.

Advantages of RAID
The foremost advantage of using a RAID drive is that it increases the performance and reliability of the system. The RAID drive is a credible example that could be used in a server. The RAID increases the parity check and thus it regularly checks for any possibility of a system crash. Disk stripping is also a hot topic when we discuss about the RAID drives. The performance is much highlighting and increases a lot when the disk stripping is done. How the performance increases a lot by the disk stripping? This is actually done by the interleaving of the bytes or the group of bytes. The interleaving of this sort is done across the multiple drives. By this procedure only one disk is reading or writing the data. The reading and writing of the data are done in a simultaneous process.
The mirroring is the complete duplication of the data. Or in the other sense the mirroring is the 100% duplication of the data on two drives. The drives may be considerably the RAID 1. The concept of parity comes after the concept and application of the mirroring. The parity involves that the data from the crashed system be matched up with the data that is stored in the other disk. The parity check is the term allotted for the work it carries out. The procedure involved is done as described below: the parity is used to calculate the data in the two drives and store the results in the third drive. In case there are more than two drives the parity check is done on all of them and the results are stored on a completely altogether different drive. The preferable device may be the RAID 3 or the RAID 5. And the failed drive is replaced.
Disadvantages of RAID
A major disadvantage regarding the RAID drive is that there needs to be written the drivers for a Network Operating System (NOS). Hence the major fact and also the most important usage of the RAID system is that it is essentially designed and extensively used in a server. So when the server comes into the picture, there obviously has to be a network.
Hence the device drivers should be included so as to design the system. The design is a quite complex process as far as the RAID is concerned. Another disadvantage regarding the RAID is that it is very much difficult for an administrator to configure the RAID system. The ability to dynamically enlarge the RAID server is also complex process; especially for those administrators who are the IS managers and also the LAN administrators.
Also the major disadvantage is that the system should support the RAID drives. Most of the RAID drives include the different types like the RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 2 etc. Hence if the server system is using a different type of RAID drive and that is not supported by the system then the problem of availability may arise.
The situation involves the determination of the RAID drives that are needed because some of the systems might support some different types of RAID drives and the other systems may support some different types of RAID drives. The DGR technology allows the administrator of any network system to reconfigure the Storage Dimensions RAID System. The DGR here stands for the Storage Dimensions Dynamic Growth and Reconfiguration. Along with the disadvantages also the RAID system offers a lot of growth and stability and the advantages override these things. Hence RAID is still the most widely used server even along with the above mentioned disadvantages.

FOXBOROUGH — We'll see.
The Patriots finally joined the draft Friday night, nearly 24 hours after it started, with the selection of Southern Miss linebacker/end Jamie Collins with the 52d overall pick. He'll make an instant impact on special teams and will likely get into the mix as a coverage linebacker with some situational pass-rush ability.

Passports Arrive!
Well it's the first day being temporarily unemployed. Feels weird knowing I won't be going back to the hospital to work. Got a lot accomplished. My passport arrived finally. We got the hitch installed and the trailer reserved. We got to spend the morning with sweet friends and their 12 horses and numerous cats. Had a blast feeding carrots and apples to the horses. I'm sure going to miss these wonderful ...
Tennessee and North Carolina
... to let them bicker and not let it ruin our trip. We passed Mammoth National park but time would not allow us to stop. The hills were beautiful as we entered North Carolina! That would be our 6th state so far! We drove through tunnels through the mountains that had signs to take our sunglasses off, ok, we did. We stopped at the welcome center for North Carolina and saw the Hells Angel biker gang South Carolina ...
Harrah's horrible service.
... they were trading shifts but i think they were just to lazy to come to their rescue. They were in a hot metal elevator burning up until someone came and pried them out. I would never go to this hotel again. We told them to give us more than fifty dollars but they refused.
Smoky Mountains!!
Took a family vacation to Gatlinburg, TN!! Don't have many pics on this computer but it's wonderful there. We stayed in a huge cabin. The scenery is out of this world. Pigeon Forge is great! We went to a local steakhouse, The Peddler, and it was awesome! They have great wine to choose from as well. We went for the 4th of July. It was beyond crowded but everyone had a blast, and we would go back in a heartbeat. ...
Day 7: Pigeon Forge is a kids' Vegas
Day 7: Leaving. Wonderworks in Pigeon Forge. $23.99 adult, $14.99 kid = $75 (after $2 off coupon). Overnight stay in Sleep Inn Sevierville.
Pigeon Forge is about a 20-30 mins from the entrance of the Smokies. But it took us over an hour to drive from the park to Pigeon Forge because it is bumper to bumper traffic. Worked out to do it on the way out. Stayed a night in Sevierville (2km from Wonderworks). ...

My favorite GIF. I think I made this last year. KHR. :D
My favorite GIF. I think I made this last year. KHR. :D
From this awesome person.
(via damagectrl)
Mukuro Rokudo (六道 骸, Rokudo Mukuro) is one of the main characters of Reborn! and is the first season's primary villain. Although, he later became the Guardian of Mist.
Portrayed as the series' first primary antagonist, Mukuro Rokudo is introduced as a 15-year-old Mafia criminal wearing a Kokuyo school uniform with a so called "pineapple" hairstyle. He is the leader of the Kokuyo Gang, which consists of heinous criminals who have recently escaped from Prison. However, later on in the series, he takes on a more supportive role for the series' main characters, becoming somewhat of an ally rather than an enemy. Although, he prefers to not consider himself as one of their allies and tries to avoid any involvement with Mafia organization.
As revealed in a flashback sequence, Mukuro Rokudo was born into the Estraneo Famiglia and was one of the children experimented on by the Estraneos. One day, Mukuro killed his captors with his Abilities and offered Chikusa Kakimoto and Ken Joshima, two children who were also experimented on, a chance to join him in his new quest to destroy the "insignificant" world.
Later on, Mukuro was adopted into a Mafia Family in Northern Italy. However, unbeknownst to the Family, Mukuro was periodically controlling one of its Members, Lancia, and using him to kill others, eventually making him kill his own Family. Since then, Mukuro had Lanchia under his complete control, using him as a "Fake Mukuro" who is eventually mistakenly identified as the real Mukuro in a picture, whereas the real Mukuro is said to have never been photographed.
What else Mukuro did in recent years remains a mystery, but it is mentioned that he, along with Ken and Chikusa, had been locked up in a high security Italian prison, which is reserved for the most dangerous of Mafia criminals who have even committed crimes against the Mafia itself. Two weeks prior to the Kokuyo Gang's appearance in the story, they staged a jailbreak on the eve of Mukuro's execution, resulting in the death of several wardens and prisoners, and later the escape of other dangerous criminals.
Despite often being shown with a playful smile, Mukuro is seemingly apathetic to the suffering of others. Appearing as the series' first antagonist, Mukuro is not averse to disposing of those who get in his way and is not easily intimidated, usually speaking to others in a very direct and arrogant manner. He cares little for others, and simply considers people to be "toys" or "tools" he can sacrifice in order to get to what he wants.
However, despite claiming that people are just toys, he seems to tolerate both Ken and Chikusa, and even protects them when need be, though he does not directly do so in front of them.
He later sacrifices himself in order for Ken and Chikusa to safely escape from the Vendicare, and he also agrees to be the Guardian of the Mist in exchange for the two's safety.
Mukuro, along with Ken and Chikusa, is implied to have a strong dislike for the entire Mafia underground, possibly due in part to the experimentations he suffered as a child. However, not only does he have the desire to destroy the entire Mafia, he also wants to invoke world suffering by starting a world war, claiming to want to cleanse the world with darkness. Even after becoming the Mist Guardian, Mukuro still claims to no longer be part of the Mafia, having been exiled from it, and continues to view the organization with great contempt, though he now prefers to avoid any involvement with them. Mukuro is also quite knowledgeable of the Mafia's dark secrets, possibly even the secret behind the Arcobaleno, a group of the Mafia's most powerful infant hitmen.

Isolating Basis for a Roth Conversion
By Kaye A. Thomas
Current as of April 17, 2014
If you've made after-tax contributions to a retirement account, you may benefit from isolating the basis in that account for a Roth conversion. The tax law creates obstacles to achieving this goal, but there are methods for overcoming them.
After-tax contributions to a traditional retirement account create basis, an amount that will be tax-free when distributed. When your account holds both pre-tax and after-tax dollars, the tax rules generally treat any distribution as a blend of the two, preventing you from taking a tax-free withdrawal consisting only of the after-tax dollars. The discussion here concerns methods that may make it possible to isolate basis so that after-tax dollars can be converted tax-free to a Roth account.
- This page provides an overview of the topic. An index to pages providing further details appears at the bottom of this page.
Basis and Roth conversions
A Roth conversion moves assets from an account in which investment earnings are tax-deferred to one in which they can be permanently tax-free. We have to weigh this benefit against the price of admission: income tax paid on the amount converted.
Depending on individual circumstances, the benefit may outweigh the cost even when the conversion is fully taxable. When a conversion includes after-tax dollars, the up-front cost applies to only part of the sum converted, while the benefit of eliminating tax on future investment earnings applies to the entire amount. The scales tip more and more in favor of a Roth conversion as the basis percentage increases.
The cost-benefit analysis for a conversion consisting only of after-tax dollars may appear to be simple. In this case the up-front tax cost is zero, while the benefit (tax-free future earnings) can be substantial. Achieving this result may require you to incur transaction costs, however. What's more, the current state of the law creates uncertainty as to the tax consequences of some of the transactions described here.
- The IRS has indicated that guidance in this area may be forthcoming, but we have no clear indication of when that may occur.
Rules and techniques differ depending on whether you have basis in an IRA or in an employer plan such as a 401k.
Basis recovery from IRA
When you have basis in a traditional IRA, we divide the basis by the value of the IRA to determine the percentage of any distribution or conversion that escapes taxation. If you have more than one traditional IRA you have to aggregate them, using the total basis and total value rather than the figures for any one IRA.
Isolating IRA basis
A rule designed to improve the portability of retirement accounts creates an opportunity to isolate basis in an IRA. If you participate in a 401k or other employer plan that will accept a rollover from an IRA, you can roll just the pre-tax dollars. After that, you're left with an IRA that holds only after-tax dollars, which can be converted to a Roth tax-free.
- The chief drawback to this technique is that it requires access to an employer plan that will accept a rollover from an IRA, so it isn't available to everyone.
Basis recovery from employer plans
The rules for recovering basis from an employer plan are much friendlier. You don't have to aggregate accounts if you participate in more than one plan. What's more, it should be possible to have your after-tax contributions, together with their investment earnings, treated as a subaccount that you can withdraw or convert separately from other funds (pre-tax contributions, employer matching contributions, and earnings produced by these amounts). Employers aren't required to offer this opportunity, however.
If you can convert this separate subaccount, and the ratio of investment earnings to basis is low enough, you may conclude that the tax cost is acceptable without taking any special measures to achieve a tax-free conversion. Basis isolation becomes more important when earnings represent a large fraction of this subaccount, or when the employer doesn't offer the opportunity to withdraw (or convert) this subaccount separately.
Isolating 401k basis
Tax professionals have come up with a number of possible ways to isolate basis in an account in a 401k or other employer plan. Unfortunately the rules that apply to these transactions are not entirely clear. Experts — including the experts at the IRS — may disagree on the interpretation. Here are the possibilities we've identified:
- Direct conversion of after-tax dollars. We're going to see that in most cases after-tax dollars are distributed pro rata with earnings generated by those dollars. Some have suggested that you can avoid that result — or the uglier one in the less common situations where after-tax dollars would come out pro rata with all other dollars, including pre-tax contributions — by designating the conversion as coming specifically from the after-tax dollars. This simple idea won't fly with the IRS. We discuss it here only because initially some people thought it was viable.
- Isolate basis in IRA. Roll the employer account to a traditional IRA, and then use the IRA basis isolation technique described earlier. This is the most desirable approach, but it requires access to a 401k or other employer plan that will accept a rollover of pre-tax dollars from the traditional IRA, which may not be available.
- Split rollover methods. These approaches roll part of a distribution to a traditional IRA and the rest to a Roth. There are three variants, and no direct guidance from the IRS regarding any of them. The one that would be most difficult for the IRS to challenge requires the employer to withhold income tax against the pre-tax dollars, which may present a problem in completing the rollover.
It may be helpful to keep in mind the tax policies behind these rules.
- The technique that involves isolating basis in an IRA runs counter to the policy of requiring proportionate distributions of pre-tax and after-tax dollars from IRAs, but the opportunity is clearly available due to a rule that was created for a different purpose.
- Separate account treatment for after-tax contributions to 401k plans, together with their investment earnings, is not contrary to policy; it is precisely what Congress intended.
- Less clear is the policy concerning the technique in which you receive a distribution, roll part to a traditional IRA, and then roll the remainder to a Roth IRA. Congress clearly intended to make it possible to roll the pre-tax portion of a distribution to a traditional IRA and retain the after-tax portion free of tax. Arguably this implies that Congress intended to permit a tax-free conversion of the after-tax dollars, but the point is debatable.
It is perhaps understandable that the IRS has placed a low priority on offering further guidance that would serve as a roadmap for accomplishing a result Congress may not have intended.
Revision: It was called to our attention that an earlier version of the paragraph with the heading "Direct conversion of after-tax dollars" had been interpreted by some as indicating that distributions from a subaccount limited to after-tax dollars and their earnings was not permitted. Elsewhere in this guide we explain that this is possible, and we revised the above paragraph to clarify its meaning.
