Is there any common language that is used to create Play Station 1 Games? Or how can I find out what programming language is used for one of those games?
Most PS1 games were probably written in C, with some assembly and possibly some light "C with classes." This isn't a universal truth, necessarily -- for example Crash Bandicoot had a good portion of its gameplay logic built in a LISP variant.
In general, you can only find out what languages were used for a game by asking the developers of that game. However, some technologies leave tell-tale signatures or watermarks of a sort that can help you make educated guesses.
For native languages, certain compilers or linkers may leave signature patterns or whatnot in the final binary (for example a tendency to store static data at a particular address, or a certain pattern of bootstrapping machine code instructions for the binary. On the PC, you can often run tools like Dependency Walker against an executable to see which runtime libraries it links against, and from there make educated guesses about which compiler was used to build it.
Similarly, games build in managed languages will require their runtime environments and usually complain loudly if they aren't found when the program is launched (this complaint is usually accomplished via a small bit of native bootstrap code in the executable, which you could also look for if you were so inclined.
Of course, this information is generally of little practical utility, since it doesn't really help you solve any particular problems related to your own game in most cases.
I was first party at SCEA when we launched the PS1, and the overwhelming majority of games were written in C, with some time critical bits in assembler. All of the library calls were C as well.

Sulley and Mike are the best duo characters/best friend figures that I have seen since Woody and Buzz. There is no better way to capture the cuteness of these fabulous figures then you give you a lesson on drawing baby Sullivan. In his baby form her is less hairy, and less scary. Although, I never really thought that Sulley was scary. Anyways, have fun and keep a lookout for Mike Wazowski in baby form as well.

Back in the good old days of Automan, The Greatest American Hero and Manimal, I remember watching another (probably) tv-series featuring a sort of Aquaman. I think I watched just a few episodes of this series, maybe only the pilot, so I just remember this man with webbed hands and feet, trapped in some sort of lab, saying he was cold (or warm?) because he was mutating.
Can someone help me in identifying this series and, maybe most important, tell me if it's worth watching today?

They continue their crying
Back in the good old days — late October — when the projected state deficit was one-seventh of its most recent underestimate, and when the Malloy administration was waiting until after the legislative elections to spring the bad news about the dawn of the next era of annual billion-dollar-plus deficits, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy promised his old pals in the Conference of Crying Mayors (CCM) his administration intends to remain their partner. Except:
"I can't make any promises" when it comes to the nearly $3 billion in annual municipal aid in the budget, and "I don't intend to raise taxes."

What would it take for me to build something similar to the mockup below?
migrated from avp.stackexchange.com Jan 24 '14 at 18:30
This question came from our site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of video, and media creation.
An Arduino is a great choice if you want to dabble in a little DIY MIDI. I've got a Mega here that I'm building a foot controller around for some outboard MIDI gear. There are plenty of libraries out there already for sending MIDI CC and PC messages from Arduino. And there are some USB shield modules already that make it easy to interface with your PC.
One of the big benefits of using an Arduino for this stuff is it has built-in encoders that take a differential voltage signal from a standard potentiometer and convert it in to a digital value you can sample from your code. Most of the Arduino models have 5-10 of these analog sampling lines on them. Makes it way easier to build this sort of stuff when you don't have to figure out how to do the analog value sampling or fuss with digital rotary encoders.
There's a great tutorial on RogueScience's site that walks through building a MIDI-sending Arduino project with a MIDI-USB bridge and everything. It assumes very near to zero experience with Arduino and programming.
There are MIDI controller kits you can use. I haven't used this, so I can't recommend it, but it seems to fit the bill:
There are also midi kits for the Arduino project, but it seems like overkill:
I'm almost finished a midi controller using one of these.

The Rambam lists waiting for Moshiach as one of the 13 principles of faith. We have a tradition that there will be two Moshiachs, Ben Yosef and Ben David, which one was the Rambam referring to?
Sign up

Based on the notion of R. Saadia Gaon, found in Emunos V'Deos 8:5. that the MBY is not a sure thing, I'll go with MBD.
The 13 principles of faith found at the end of the morning service are a revised version of Rambam's more detailed formulation of the of Foundations of the Faith, which he published in his commentary to the Mishna, as an introduction to Perek Chelek in Sanhedrin. This being the case, it is always worthwhile to check the original regarding any questions about the meaning of any particular principle.
In this case, if we say the Rambam was referring only to Mashiach the person, it would seem that he refers to Mashiach ben David, since he ends off saying that included in this principle is the assertion שאין מלך לישראל אלא מבית דוד ומזרע שְׁלֹמֹה בלבד; that there is no king to Israel but from the house of David and the seed of Solomon alone.
However, I must add that from the gist of his words it would seem that the belief required of us is not simply about a man, but about an era. The belief that a person will help usher in that era is certainly part of it, but the main idea is a belief about the overall picture. As he starts off the principle: היסוד השנים עשר, ימות המשיח; the twelfth foundation, the days of the Mashiach.

Enable IE6+ to work with Sencha Touch!
Like most large development shops, we need to write apps that run on iE6+ browsers. Since IE does not use WebKit... Touch is impossible on IE right? No. Google created an IE plugin to solve this. I've tested this and it works great.
I found a great plug-in for IE6+ called "Google Chrome Frame" and it adds a Chrome frame to your application... using a simple meta tag in your Touch application will enable it (because Chrome has WebKit).
Google Chrome Frame is not new and has been out for quite a while. Currently, it requires Administrative privileges to install, but looks like Google is working on a User level installation that should be coming out soon.
Steps to get IE6+ 'Chromified'
(1) Install the Google Chrome Frame plug-in
Close and Re-open IE
(2) Add metatag to the top of your index.html
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="chrome=1" />
That's it... your app should now work on IE.

Why would you want Sencha Touch app to run in IE6?Eugene

Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should do something. Yes, you might be able to make IE6 jump thru hoops to do that, but it's probably a bad idea. IE6 is already very slow and adding more layers on top of it to emulate another browser and then render HTML5 is going to run so slow as to be not worth it. And, just like everything else about IE, it's probably not going to be 100% functional, so you'd just have to add yet another set of workarounds to get it right.
If you're serious about supporting both IE6 and Sencha Touch for your apps, you're efforts are probably better spent separating you UI layer from the rest of your app's JS so you can swap frontends more easily.
I don't speak for Sencha, but if I think if they were to devote resources to supporting other platforms, I'd rather see Mozilla compatibility.Tim Ryan

WHY IE: because not all Touch apps are small phone apps. Tablet apps (like iPad) actually look very nice on a desktop browser thereby widening the target audience.
WHY BOTHER: because its worth it and it works The plugin only works on pages that have the meta tag, so you don't have to worry about it causing other issues.

Easier process: 1.) Install Chrome. 2.) Done.
Seriously, if someone's already installing Chrome Frame (and has the sufficient privileges to do so), it's likely they have the same privileges to just go ahead and install the real thing. So why bother with giving them what is going to ultimately be a sub-prime experience?
The longer people keep stringing along IE6 on life support, the longer people will keep using it. Just pull the plug already.
But honestly, like others have pointed out, I'm not really sure what the point is of getting Sencha Touch apps to work in IE6. The main point of Sencha "Touch" is to provide a super sweet mobile app framework. While it's certainly a bonus that a lot of Sench Touch functionality works in a regular ol' browser (well, real browsers at least), it's kind of missing the point of it all to focus on the non-mobile, non-touch side of things, IMO. Seems like a lot of unnecessary work and effort to try to get it working in an environment that it's not meant for; why not take the other poster's suggestion, abstract your apps a bit more, and maybe use regular ExtJS for IE6 support within the browser app? That makes much more sense from an application perspective than trying to make an HTML5-infused mobile framework play nicely with something that is old, slow, and needs a special, modern browser plugin to even get it work at all.

Actually I've found Chrome Frame for IE to have decent performance, especially compared to stock IE.
Sure Chrome Frame wouldn't be my personal browser preference over Chrome itself. The point is it works for those who want the IE "look and feel" for whatever reason they might have...
24 Apr 2011 7:10 AM #9
If you just want a grid component to act similar to a Touch nested list, that would probably be relatively easy to do with ExtJS.
If you want the exact "look and feel" of the nested list from the Touch kitchen sink demo I doubt ExtJS would be your friend for implementing this as it has significantly different opinions on design to Touch. You could probably punch it repeatedly until it reluctantly agreed to do what you wanted, or you could just implement it with a lower level framework like jQuery+Backbone.js (simply an example, not a recommendation).

Visiting dance faculty members Nora Chipaumire and Richard Siegal have been awarded a 2008 Annual New York Dance and Performance Award, more commonly known a 'Bessie' Award. The 2008 Bessies, which aimed to highlight individuals for exceptional achievements during the 2007-2008 season, were presented by the Dance Theater Workshop, the Danspace Project, and The Joyce Theater, along with the 2007-2008 Bessies Committee.
A native of Zimbabwe, Chipaumire is a graduate of the University of Zimbabwe's School of Law and holds a master of arts in dance and a master of fine arts in choreography and performance from Mills College. Chipaumire is also the recipient of numerous awards, grants and fellowships, including a Maggie Allesee National Center for Choreography (MANCC) choreographic fellowship and a Mariam McGlone Emerging Choreographer Award from Wesleyan University Center for the Arts.
She was recognized in the 'Choreographer/Creators' category of 'The Bessies' for her work on Chimurenga, which was presented at Dance Theater Workshop. The piece has been hailed as both a "testament to a troubled state, and a troubled state of mind" and a masterpiece in "humanity, humor, and striking sensuality."
Fellow visiting dance artist Richard Siegal also received an award in the visual design category during the 2008 Annual New York Dance and Performance Awards for his production design of As If Stranger. As If Stranger played at Danspace Project and was acclaimed for evoking "a dark, virtual world inhabited by a lone dancer." Siegal shares the award with Antoine Seigneur-Guerrini, Phillip Bußman, and Norbert Pape.
Siegal has been widely recognized for his achievements in the world of dance. He was named 'Outstanding Dancer' by Balletanz's Annual Critics' Survey (1998, 2000, 2003) and was made an honorary member of the Bolshoi Ballet's Benois de la Danse in 2004. In 2007, he was honored with the prestigious Mouson Award for his production Stranger/Stranger Report, which was shown at the Festspielhaus in Hellerau (Dresden).
He is the founder of The Bakery (2002) and danced with William Forsythe's Ballett Frankfurt from 1997 through its final season in 2004. Siegal was a guest choreographer at New York City Ballet's Choreographic Institute during the 2007 fall season. He is on the faculty of D.A.N.C.E. and at American Dance Festival, for which he also curates an annual Forsythe Festival.
The Bessie award is named after Bennington alumna and former dance faculty member Bessie Schonberg '36.

15 Grossly Misleading Movie Posters
#7. Aliens - Poland
Aliens, as we all know, was the brave story of a woman trying to retain her beauty and confidence despite her crippling case of acid reflux disease.
#6. Ewoks: The Battle for Endor - Ghana
If you never saw the made-for-TV Ewoks: Battle for Endor, let us just assure you that it doesn't feature a deformed Han Solo blowing away sword-wielding ape-demons. Something that awesome never even comes close to happening in this movie. Things that awesome don't even sit at the same table in the cafeteria as this movie. Things that awesome are actually required to stay 100 feet away from this movie at all times.
#5. The Aviator - U.S.
This is a prime example of taking one scene entirely out of context and basing all of your marketing around that. In this case, Aviator appears to be an action movie about World War II era stunt pilots trying to kill the desert with kamikaze missions. In fact most of the movie was about Leonardo DiCaprio pissing in jars. But hell, we're not going to argue with a movie that won so many awards it had to dedicate half of its poster space to praise. Just look at all those prizes; someone should give them a prize for winning so much.
#4. Nightmare on Elm Street - Japan
If you can't throw a robot on an Asian movie poster, at the very least you can imply it all takes place in the Matrix.
#3. The Day the Earth Stood Still - U.S.
The Day the Earth Stood Still was a harsh critique of humanity's tendency to resort to violence before asking questions. A friendly alien of the non-anal probing kind arrives with a message for mankind, so we immediately try to kill it.

#2. Mad Max: Road Warrior - Ghana
"Quick we need a poster for a movie called Road Warrior!"
"Well, I have this half finished Rambo drawing..."
"Ha ha, shit! That is terrible, what do you have, spinal meningitis?"
"Shut up! I had a hard time to start with: Somebody had already drawn a sassy Latino woman on my canvas. Frankly I'm astounded I got it as close to Rambo as I did."
"Well, hell, might as well go whole hog. Throw in Hugo Weaving having a stroke in a thunderstorm and let's just hope the confusion attracts the stoner crowd."
#1. Crocodile Dundee - Poland
Crocodile Dundee was a light-hearted movie, sure, but at no point was it anything resembling an installment of Curious George where The Man in the Yellow Hat takes LSD, hallucinates multi-colored reptiles and abducts a black woman.

We have a web application with a dozen or so icons for various functions. The icons were provided by a web design company during a redesign of the site two years ago. The company no longer exists.
We have a growing need for new icons as new functionality is added. If at all possible we want to avoid replacing all the existing ones.
What is a good way to find a set of stock icons that matches the existing icons?
I know there are countless libraries out there and I have gone through a few of those listed on http://ui.stackexchange.com/questions/956/what-are-good-stock-icon-packs. However, nothing really matched.
Any advice on a better approach than clicking through dozens of libraries would be appreciated.

The הגדה says:
במצרים לקו חמשים מכות, ועל הים לקו חמשים ומאתים מכות
In Egypt, they were struck with 50 plagues, and by the Sea [of Reeds], they were struck with 250 plagues
What were these 300 plagues?
The הגדה says:
What were these 300 plagues?
Alongside Alex's answer, I would posit that they never had in mind specific identified plagues, and might even look at you strangely for trying to identify them. it strikes me more along the lines of 'kol ha-marbeh lesaper bitzias mitzrayim, harei zeh meshubach'; as well as what immediately follows these deductions in the haggadah, kamma maalos tovos laMakom aleinu. in other words, creative derashot + math to stress how much Hashem did for us. trying to identify each one would be missing the forest for the trees. Certainly so if Rabbi Yossi, Rabbi Eliezer, and Rabbi Akiva intended no specific trees.
R' Moshe Cordovero (Ramak), in his commentary Tefillah Lemoshe on the siddur, lists the following:
The Lubavitcher Rebbe brings down in his Haggadah, quoting the Rambam's Pirush Hamishnayos Avot Chapter 5 Mishnah 4, that while tradition tells us that there were many more plagues by the sea than in Egypt, there were only 10 types of plagues. They were all the same types of plagues which happened in Egypt, and at the Sea they split into numerous parts (how many depends on who you ask). The Rambam tells us that this is hinted to us from the verse in Shmuel 1 (Chapter 4, Verse 8):
The Rambam says that "every sort of plague in the wilderness" refers to the plagues that happened in the desert by the Red Sea (since it is self-understood that Egypt was not a wilderness).
The Rebbe points out that this way the Haggadah doesn't contradict what it says in Avos deR' Nosson (Chapter 33), and in (at least) one version of the Mishnayos in Avot Chapter 5, that there were 10 plagues in Egypt, "and 10 plagues visited on the Egyptians at the sea" (The version of the mishnah found here, for example, does not have this line).

Effects of Head and Neck Radiation in the Elderly
David I. Rosenthal, MD
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
My father-in-law, age 87, recently had surgery to remove squamous cancer in his neck (just below jaw line). He is scheduled to begin radiation tomorrow but is now hesitant to undergo this treatment. His oncologist has told us that he has an 80% chance of survival following the surgery, and a nearly 100% survival-chance w/the radiation. However, with the radiation is likely to cause xerostomia and other side effects. At his age, my father-in-law believes that he does not want his quality-of-life further impaired (he is actually quite healthy and active and does not want to suffer through excessive dry mouth). He is now wondering weather the extra 20% is worth the discomfort and possibly permanent side effects of the radiation treatments. Can you help me understand better what he faces in both scenarioswith and without radiation?
Thank you.
David I. Rosenthal, MD, Director for Head and Neck Radiation Oncology at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Dear MB,
It is a tough decision to make. There are never any guarantees about survival with any cancer treatment. After head and neck surgery for squamous cancer, we know certain tumor and pathology findings suggest a higher than desired risk for relapse. The consequences of relapse are often devastating, life-threatening or can be fatal. In certain circumstances, postoperative radiation can be used to substantially reduce the risks for the tumor coming back at the original site and surrounding the lymph nodes.
The trade off is a price in terms of acute and chronic toxicities and side effects, including xerostomia (dry mouth). There are some drugs that can be used to help prevent xerostomia. Amifostine (a radiation protector) may reduce the chances of developing this problem. If dry mouth develops, a medication called Salagen may help some patients increase salivation. These medications can help some people with this problem, but you need to ask his physician if he is a candidate for these treatments. As with any medication, there can be specific contraindications in any individual case.

I workout daily for half an hour to gain some muscles(e.g. chess and weight lifting). I have a nice physic except a little bit belly fat, so for that I daily do some half an hour walking and 15 minutes sit-ups.
So please suggest me some nice diet(i.e. what things to eat and what to not), so that I can achieve my both goals, i.e. burn and reduce belly fat and gain some muscles at the same time.
And my exercise varies in time and effort because it depends upon my mood and time when I sleep last night, so I don't want the suggestions like e.g. eat 20 gm fat and 50 gm protein, cause I can't measure it, but I want some simple suggestions like eat more of this kind of food and avoid eating this etc.

I workout daily for half an hour to gain some muscles(e.g. chess and weight lifting). I have a nice physic except a little bit belly fat, so for that I daily do some half an hour walking and 15 minutes sit-ups.
So please suggest me some nice diet(i.e. what things to eat and what to not), so that I can achieve my both goals, i.e. burn and reduce belly fat and gain some muscles at the same time.
You can (and I did month after month) burn fat on a calorie surplus. I'm currently on a 150% calorie surplus and since I'm doing heavy weight training, I'm telling my body to put on muscle to adapt to my ever-increasing intensity in the weight room.
As for your plea to not talk about food in weights or calories, well you can't really expect to do random things and expect specific results. I can only achieve fat loss + muscle gain at the same time because I've carefully tuned a diet that enables enough calories to put on muscle. Your body is constantly both burning/storing fat/muscle. It is constantly in both a catabolic and anabolic state. The key is to gain an overall NET catabolic state in the fatty tissue and NET anabolic state in muscle.
If you are training hard your body will utilise excess calories for muscle before it does fat. That said, if you eat too much you will put on fat as well as muscle. So the key to a clean bulk is to find that happy caloric intake that SLIGHTLY under optimises protein synthesis for the purposes of burning fat stores for the net difference. Good luck trying to do this eating haphazardly!
If you want general advice for food, eat more protein rich foods (naturally lower in calories) and stay away from sugary things. Eat fresh food - stay away from junk food or food that is overly processed. If you aren't getting stronger (or bigger), then eat more! If you are getting fat or not losing fat then eat less.
That said, if you want to look like a sports model, you have to train like a freak and eat very clean. I'm 8% body fat because I REALLY watch what I eat and I train very hard. You can't obtain an impressive physique by eating any old thing and doing sloppy training unless you have very impressive genetics.
Cutting fat from your diet does not mean you will by virtue lose fat, in fact the very opposite could hold true! Good fats (poly- and monounsaturated fat) are good for your body and great sources of nutrients and calories. Some examples include avocado, nuts, seeds, and fatty fish like salmon. As an added bonus, a lot of these good fats also have a high protein count as well. In fact, many diets (such as the paleo and atkins) advocate a high fat intake and low carbohydrate intake because carbs are often nutritionally deficient and arguably bad for you in the levels of consumption recommended by the FDA today (think: food pyramid). Instead of thinking of things in terms of carbs, proteins, and fats, I would suggest a far simpler approach to your diet: eat unprocessed foods. Cook your own meals and try to eat whole foods whenever possible.
If you follow a healthy diet and run at a caloric deficit (take in fewer calories than you burned that day) then eventually you will burn off the fat in your belly. You can approach this three ways: eat less, cardio more, or both.
There is a caveat, though, as YYY pointed out. Gaining muscle and losing fat are to a degree mutually exclusive. To gain muscle you need three things: weight training to stimulate growth, energy to fuel growth, and rest to facilitate growth. The problem is, when you run at a caloric deficit (which is needed to lose fat), then by extension you are starving your body of the energy it needs to fuel your muscle growth. Will your muscles still grow as you continue your cardio/diet fat loss routine? Yes, but not nearly as much if they were properly fueled (usually a caloric excess of 500-1000 calories is recommended).
Micro carb cycling, as described in Tom Venuto's Holy Grail, sounds feasible. Essentially putting your body into a caloric surplus on your workout day, and into a deficit the days between workouts. Also trying to get a lot of your protein and caloric requirements directly around your workout, with other meals during the day much smaller.
He suggests a 3-1 ratio (3 days caloric deficit, 1 day surplus) when the primary goal is fat loss, secondary strength gain, and a 3-(2-3) ratio (3 days deficit, 2-3 days surplus) when the primary goal is strength gain, secondary fat loss.

6 Obnoxious Old People Habits (Explained by Science)
#3. Lipstick Teeth
So you're a kid, and your decrepit Great Aunt shows up in her nearly purple hair and a massive floral-print dress. As her support hose bunches around her ankles like the wrinkly legs of an elephant and she complains about another bout with the rheumatism, she'll arch her crackly back, lean forward to plant a kiss on your chubby, scared shitless cheek, and spread her massive maw, painted in classic Whore Red, to reveal quite the same shade smeared across her dentures as though this morning she had opted to have lipstick for breakfast rather than simply apply it as is customary.
What you may not have known at the time is that Granny Red Tooth wasn't necessarily insane or trying to start a new fashion trend, but is instead suffering from any number of neurological disorders characterized by shakes and spasms making it remarkably difficult for her to manage the application of that insanely inappropriate shade near her choppers.
According to research, over 10 percent of people over 65 suffer some manner of shaking. That means tasks as simple as the application of make up, eating with a fork or even throwing a ninja star accurately can be more of a chore than you'd think.
Combine that with eyesight problems beyond what can be fixed with a simple pair of old lady glasses, and it's easy to imagine how you can leave the bathroom looking like a bizarre combination of the Joker, and someone who just ate the Joker.
#2. Hard Candy
You may have noticed that grandpa always had a pocketful of butterscotch candy. No, it wasn't so he could entice bag boys at the local supermarket to reach into his pants. Indeed, there's a reason the vast, slow moving, creaky army of elderly people insist on keeping that massive lead crystal bowl of ribbon candy until it has melded into one giant, sugary art installation on the coffee table.
As you age, the sense of smell and taste tend to fall by the wayside, giving up on your rickety frame and jumping ship before they go down with you. Smell goes much more quickly than taste, but since the two are so closely linked, and by virtue of the fact that smells interact with receptor cells to help you fully understand the actual taste of what you just ate, when they leave you all you have left is a basic understanding of the taste of sweet, salty, sour and bitter.
Elderly people tend to choose sweet as the taste of choice, since it's the most pleasant, and also because scientific evidence indicates old people with pants full of salt licks are often assaulted by deer and left confused and disheveled at local malls.
#1. Driving at Walking Speed
It's interesting to note that old people driving skills bare a striking resemblance to objects approaching the speed of light. Physics tells us that the closer you get to the speed of light, the slower time goes until, presumably, time would hit a dead stop. Likewise, the older people get, the closer their driving speed gets to being slow as shit. We can theorize that the oldest human in the world, if placed behind the wheel of a car, would somehow be able to burn an entire tank of gas whilst going absolutely nowhere.
This sad state of affairs is actually caused by a delightful stew of decrepitude faced by all of us as we age. From the top down, elderly drivers get to experience a variety of ills like glaucoma and macular degeneration which cause eyesight to degrade; thus limiting their ability to gauge what's coming on the road ahead. Hearing loss further kicks you in your old guy crotch by taking out another sense necessary for drivers to be fully aware of what's going on.
Ignoring the road would be dangerous if they were actually moving.
But worst of all, the rest of the human body follows suit. Age takes its toll on the muscles and nervous system, causing a lack of flexibility and slower reaction times. Knowing your reactions are slower makes it seem like the outside world is going terrifyingly fast.
Thus your grandfather is now deathly afraid to go above 30 mph, knowing he can't see or hear what's ahead or behind him and can't get out of the way fast enough even if he could.
So when you're late for work and get stuck behind one of these guys, and swear out loud that you'll never be a slow driving, high pants-wearing, hard candy-sucking Yoda, just remember: at your age, that's what they said, too.
"I'm you! From the fuuuture!"

Did you hear the one about when Bozo the Clown ran for President and two assassination attempts were made on his life?
How about the time Bozo flew into the perilous jungles of New Guinea to see if he could not just survive but actually bond with dangerous cannibal tribes?
Well then, you must know about the time his size 83 AAA shoes saved him from being swallowed whole by a giant, murderous python in Thailand, right?
Then I guess you might not know as much as you think about the world's most famous clown. Sure, you know the giant shoes, the red bulbous nose, the big ruby smile, and the twin shocks of red yak-hair bursting from the sides of his head. And obviously you know the many clowns inspired by him, from Ronald McDonald to Krusty the Clown.
So perhaps it's time you learned about Bozo, and the man behind the nose. Because the wild, inspirational stories in this book are all true. As real as the nose on your face.
One day, Larry Harmon, a World War II private harboring dreams of becoming a doctor, met the most famous entertainer of the time, Al Jolson. After seeing the young man on stage, Jolson told him he shouldconsider a career change.
"Being a doctor of medicine is honorable," Jolson advised. "But you'll touch so many more lives as a doctor of laughter "
A decade later, Jolson's prophecy came true when Larry Harmon, trying to make it as an actor in Hollywood, auditioned to portray a character named Bozo the Capitol Clown.
The character spoke so much to Larry that he simply became it--overnight. He soon turned Bozo into a cultural icon, creating one of the biggest children's television franchises in the world. But that was only the beginning.
In this unputdownable book, which Harmon completed just before his death at age eighty-three, are far more incredible stories of astronauts, cannibals, celebrities, assassins, and deep-sea divers--all encountered in full Bozo regalia, and with photos to prove it.
Not only is Harmon's life by turns incredible and hilarious, it's also an inspirational testament to the power of one man's positive attitude, dedication, and work ethic--and how he changed the world.
About the Author
Larry Harmon produced some 50,000 hours of local and international live children's television shows. He is best-known for his fifty-year-plus run as the driving force behind Bozo the World's Most Famous Clown. After purchasing the rights to the character, Harmon spread Bozo to almost 200 television stations all over the globe, including Greece, Thailand, and Brazil. Harmon also owned the Laurel & Hardy characters, produced the 1974 biopic It's Good to be Alive directed by Michael Landon, and made many other contributions to the entertainment world and popular culture. In 1996, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences awarded him a special outstanding achievement award for a long career that touched the hearts, mind, and funny bones of millions of people. Larry Harmon passed away on July 3, 2008.
Thomas Scott McKenzie has written for Premier Guitar, Tin House, Stuff, Paste, Sync, Inked, and other publications. McKenzie runs Slushpile.net, and he coauthored The Man Behind the Nose, the autobiography of Larry "Bozo the Clown" Harmon.

I'm a self-employed IT guy at the moment. My self discipline is quite decent usually, I plan and think a lot before implementing something. I got stuck at some point now, because I didn't foresee a small detail and need to fix it at many points of my project now (should require me 2-3 working days to fix). For the last 4-5 days my coding productivity hit the bottom, I went on to deal with other parts of the project such as graphics, sound effects. But as you can imagine it is not a permanent solution, I have to go back to coding and fix the issue.
I know after it is fixed, I will get back to my previous pace. Any ideas how to motivate myself? Looking back at past I found myself in this situation a couple of times sometimes dropped the project sometimes it took me 2-3 times more time. Anybody found himself/herself in a similar situation and has a working solution?

I have heard that me gusta usually has a romantic connotation when referring to people (as opposed to just saying that you get along well with someone). What about me encanta? Does it always have romantic undertones or can it be used non-romantically to refer to a close friend or someone you deeply respect?

Personally, I would not use me encanta to refer to somebody I just respect (however deeply). I would use it, however, to refer to somebody I admire very much or something that I like very much:
Generally speaking, if you are encantado by somebody, it means that you admire that person in the sense that you like them very much, not necessarily in a romantic fashion. You might have the deepest respect for a person like Ghandi, because you admire his passion, but if you don't agree with his ideas, you'd probably never say that you are encantado by him.
In other words, you may respect somebody very much without considering them role models, but if you are encantado by somebody, that person is likely to play some kind of model for you: it is somebody whose example you'd follow.
The romantic point of view is also correct, but mostly in a context of two people who are very close and probably sharing an intimate moment (not necessarily sexual):
A girl might say to her boyfriend me encantas in public (or a guy to a girl, or other combinations), perhaps in front of a group of close friend or relatives. For example, after receiving a birthday present during a family reunion, something like "¡Gracias! Me encanta el regalo y me encantas tú" sounds natural and would not make other people feel uncomfortable. However, saying me encantan tus caricias in front your partner's parents would probably end up being an awkward moment.
I hope that answers your question!
Contrary to Janoma, I've used the expression me encanta many times to refer to some girl I liked a lot, usually in confidence to some friend, as in

According to Denshi Jisho, いい and よい share the same kanji, and that both roughly mean "good". Why are there two different pronunciations despite the similarity, and what are some ways to figure out which one to use?
Sign up

The original form is definitely よい, and that's what you'll find in old texts. As often happens with common words, the pronunciation was simplified a little in its most common form, the Rentaikei form (which is the dictionary form), and became ええ in western dialects (Kansai-ben) and いい in the Tokyo dialect, which serves the basis for Standard Japanese.
Today, いい is no longer considered colloquial, and it can easily be found in formal speech or writing, alongside 良い (よい). It is actually 良い which is now considered formal-only, and its effectively gone in everyday speech, and replaced entirely by いい in the Rentaikei, while all other forms are still conjugated as if the base form was よい.
The conjugation of いい is instructive here. If you want to use the past tense, the conjugation is よかった. You can't say いかった to mean "was good". Furthermore, the first item in goo confirms that they have the same meaning.
goo also says that よい is the original word, but いい came about because it's easier to say. So I imagine it's a kind of slang from a long time ago that has simply grown to be acceptable.
I am not sure about the origin, but the difference in usage is you can use よい as another forms よくない、よかった、... but いい normally cannot in Standard Japanese.
For what it's worth:
よい is an i-adjective and can then be modified like any other adjectives in い
いい is an adjective that can be used as:
->That's an interesting idea.
->That idea is interesting.
Thus like any -ing adjectives cannot be modified.
ii and yoi use the same kanji but are usually written in kana. Origin of 好い 善い 良い is obviously Chinese with different nuances for each of them.
i believe that よい is the more polite form of いい. But it coudl also just be an ease of pronunciation thing that they are different.

Hi Vibes,
have a look to this : http://wiki.panotools.org/Entrance_Pupil_Database. Measure ( H ) and add 13 for you lower rail setting. I proofed this for my equipment several times. Test with this:
http://www.easypano.com/forum/displa...1&TopicID=4162. You have to move the camera to the side where the "tooth cuts".
For the lens setting measure L1 : lens flange to tripod mount, and add L2 from the lens. Test the setting.
Feel free to ask, not being sure you no my email.
Success Heinz
for the frist steps:
Zoom 18mm: 4 rows 36° 10 stops 57.5° pitch
30° 12 stops 20°
" -12.5°
" -47.5°
Calculated with 30% overlap , avoiding panohead to have less work for the nadir. Please tell me if there are problems with these setting. I can not test it personally.Nikonian . You have to shoot +/- 90° as well.
A lot of pics to take. Choose a calm place like the nice pano in the valleys.
http://www.dofmaster.com/doftable.html for hyperfocal distance. Just to compare cause the 550d is missing.
Try to shoot bracketing in continous mode, makes your job quicker. Be aware bracketing 3 asks 138 shots. A lot of ghosts, moving leaves, clouds etc in windy or busy situations.
The next goal should be a 15mm canon fisheye, or, without contacts, totally manual a 8mm samyang for low budget.
Thank you very much! I will work from those great suggestions and help and yes I am planning next purchase to be the 15mm wide angle, I believe it is right around $650.

"Anna McLaughlin and Amanda Dia each won one game in their singles matches," said Coach Dan Holmberg. "As the girls get more experience, we hope they'll learn the situations to be more aggressive, and when to play more defensive. It just comes with experience and confidence."

I have a 2009 model Honda unicorn motorcycle. It's very difficult to ride during rain or cold weather, because of missing. I asked service center but they did not do anything. I have changed the CDI, ignition coil and air filter but the problem persists.

Check the spark plugs and plug wires. Maybe you've got a bad plug or a wire with a crack in the insulation that's letting in moisture.
Sounds like you're on the right track. Water/cold missing issues are usually ignition related. I've been down this road a number of times myself. It can be quite hard to pinpoint. Look for cracked ignition components that might be letting water in/support condensation.
Another (but somewhat remote possibility) is water in the fuel. Bad seal on the gas tank?
I had the same issue. That was because of water getting in carburetor .

From what I recall - it's been 23 years - you have 3 choices:
Better yet - read the Misrad HaKlita's current instructions online.
We started with #1 and got as far as the Medical Check Up. Then we did #3 - and were never asked for the Medical Check Up results.
Documents you may need during the process:
Give Nefesh B'Nefesh a call - 1-866-4-Aliyah. Since 2002 they have helped 33,000 People make Aliyah. (Including Jamie Geller in the post above) They have pre-Aliyah counselors, an employment team ready to help you find work and many other resources. Their web site is full of helpful articles about finances, employment, Israeli communities and the Aliyah process. B'hatzlacha!
Something you may want to want to watch to get a feel:
It's a 10-part series that documents the Aliyah of Jamie Geller and her family.
well I have heard that many anglo speaking people from America and others made aliyah what was not known was that many of them do not know Hebrew and moved there and made aliyah. that however was wrong. because they are not suppose to be able to make aliyah until they do speak Hebrew read and write Hebrew that takes more then a year to do all this language study in college or university they have to take those courses. and do that and then complete the courses. then they have to send a document to jewish agency for Israel and must show proof that they completed that course for Hebrew before being able to make aliyah as they work closely with ministry of interior they will not be moved with anyone to make aliyah until that meet that requirements and all documents presented and send in to them also go to the ministry of interior.so just to make sure that anyone wanting to make aliyah must take up Hebrew courses in u.s. first at a college or university campus for at least 2 years or so Hebrew is very very very hard to do you cannot do it alone. you need to have the courses that's approx. how long it will take to learn it,that also applies to all who converted to Judaism they are required to take Hebrew no exceptions by the government of Israel they are tough and will not allow any aliyah to anyone until they prove they can speak the language period....

Fubini's theorem states that if you have a double integral over a function $f(x,y)$, then you can compute the integral as an iterated integral, if $f(x,y)$ is in $\mathcal{L}^1$. But to find out if $f$ is in $\mathcal{L}^1$ you need to compute the double integral.
What am I missing? The examples I found all apply Fubini's theorem without checking that $f(x,y)$ is in $\mathcal{L}^1$. Many thanks for any clarification!

When I do a fresh install of Ubuntu 13.04 on a computer with an older Nvidia Quadro FX 500 128mb agp card, I cannot get the display to work.
There are a number of things that happen: On some fresh installs the screen goes completely yellow. After other fresh installs the screen goes completely black.
I have tried to install the Nvidia drivers titled: current, current-updates, and nouveau. When I install one of these drivers, the desktop becomes visible with a 640x480 resolution and no unity. I can right-click on the background and navigate up to the settings, where I see the display settings only recognize the monitor as "laptop" and stay stuck in that one resolution option.
The farthest I have gotten is using this answer which allowed me to see the entire desktop at the proper resolution, but no unity launcher or top panel. Upon restart the resolution reverts back to 1280x1024, which does not conform to the monitor (leaves about 3 inches of blank space on either side of the image) and unity is still not present.
??????????? Which is the proper driver for an older Nvidia card? How do I restart Unity so that appears again? What is the display setup process once I have done a fresh install (since it is not auto-detecting)?
Many thanks

DataNucleus Enhancer integration
Products: IntelliJ IDEA
Vendor: sourceheads Information Technology GmbH
License: http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0
WARNING: THIS (1.1.0-beta) IS A BETA RELEASE!
Read the rest of this plugins' description carefully before upgrading. If peculiar with stability stay with 1.0.8!
Also if updating-/trying to use- DataNucleus 3.1.x continue reading this description!
Before adding negative comments, try to get your setup straight and inquire help at the forum ( DataNucleus Forum/Tools) - most of the problems occour due to erroneous mapping configuration or invalid usage of the underlying persistence implementation.
Integration of the DataNucleus JDO/JPA class enhancer in IDEA, including automatic class post-processing after compilation.
Since version 1.0.5 officially part of the DataNucleus project - Thanks to Andy Jefferson for all the help.
Due to the vast changes made since the last release and the limited time for testing this project, this beta is let out into the wild, knowing that it won't/can't be a final version.
If you find this plugin useful/helpful please at least provide a rating on it's site (DataNucleus Enhancer integration) as there seem to be people out there who try to downrate without an appropriate reason (maybe just out of plain missing knowledge or inability to read documentation provided, but who knows? - just have a look at the comments).
Keep in mind that DataNucleus 3.1.x requires asm-4.x, which conflicts with any prior version. Sometimes asm is shipped even inside regular jar files or is included in a transitive fashion (e.g. via maven). As a result, get your dependencies cleaned up and also look inside the jars you include!
The datanucleus enhancer is not packaged with this plugin, but it's, by default, taken from (each) project module to avoid version conflicts.
When inquiring help, please -at least- provide environment information (IDEA version, Plugin version, DataNucleus version,...) and a stack trace (from IDEA 'Messages' tab and/or IDEA log).

Fort Lewis College fired two athletic department employees Wednesday, surprising both of them and the FLC and Durango communities.
Two days after FLC�s women�s volleyball coach Shelly Aaland found out she was going to lose her job, college officials fired her and her husband, Chris Aaland, assistant director of athletics for communications.
�I can confirm that both Shelly and Chris are no longer with Fort Lewis College,� FLC spokesman Mitch Davis said Wednesday afternoon. �Since it�s a personnel situation, I can�t comment much beyond that. ... They were both let go.�
Davis would not say what the reasons were for the firings, adding that he knew that would �frustrate folks� because they�ll only get one side of the story. Athletic Director Gary Hunter did not return phone calls from The Durango Herald.
Chris Aaland declined to comment. Attempts to reach Shelly Aaland were unsuccessful.
The longest tenured member of the college�s athletic department, Chris Aaland worked at FLC for 22 years.
Shelly Aaland spent 10 years as the head women�s volleyball coach and previously served as an assistant coach and played college volleyball for the Skyhawks.
Shelly Aaland found out Monday she was going to lose her coaching position.
�I didn�t see this coming at all and am still trying to wrap my head around it,� Shelly Aaland said in a text message sent to a Herald reporter Monday night. �I am very disappointed to leave the program. I have been a part of this program since 1995 and am very proud of my conference title and two appearances in the national tournament.�
Chris Aaland graduated from FLC in 1991. During his more than two decades working there, he served as sports information director from 1992 to 2001, as director of communications and publications from September 2001 to February 2006 and as the college�s director of alumni relations from March 2006 to August 2010.
FLC head men�s basketball coach Bob Hofman said he has known Chris Aaland since the 1980s and worked with both Aalands as they became fixtures in the Skyhawks community.
�They�ve just been tremendous friends to me,� Hofman said.
Others who worked with Chris Aaland praised him.
�He�s a great guy. He was the (sports information director) when I first came on as a coach back in April of 2000, and (he) made me feel right at home right away, and I won�t forget that,� said Ken Flint, a former FLC cross country coach and current voice of the Skyhawks sports radio broadcasts.
�He was a big member up here, and I�m sure he�ll be sorely missed by the coaching staff up there because he�d go the extra mile,� Flint said.
FLC head women�s soccer coach Damian Clarke had worked with Chris Aaland since he helped score basketball games as an FLC freshman in 1994.
�In general, they�re both very good people,� Clarke said. �People who have obviously dedicated a good portion of their lives to Fort Lewis and Fort Lewis athletics.�
Clarke said Chris Aaland�s institutional knowledge was an invaluable asset.
�To be honest with you, I think we�ve always felt pretty lucky to have a guy like Chris around. And at the end of the day, he�s an encyclopedia of Fort Lewis athletics,� Clarke said. �You never regain what Chris holds in his head. ... At the end of the day, that�s one of the biggest losses � that piece of history.�
The spirit of Skyhawks sports is another casualty, Clarke said.
�(He had) a big impact in terms of (me) understanding and continuing to understand what the college and the athletic community meant � not just to him but all of us.�
�All of us� extends into the larger Durango community.
Flint organized the Community Cares 5K in mid-February to benefit the Aalands after Chris Aaland had life-saving heart surgery in December for an aortic aneurysm.
The Aalands had health insurance but not all of their expenses were covered, including a helicopter flight to Albuquerque.
�We assumed some pretty steep out-of-network charges,� Chris Aaland told the Herald in April.
At the time, the surgery was the latest challenge in a trying stretch for the Aaland family after their 5�-month-old son, Gus, died in November 2011 at a Denver hospital of a sudden illness.
�It was amazing to see,� Flint said of the turnout at the Community Cares 5K. �Chris has been in the community for a long time, and the outpouring of support for him was refreshing or just reconfirming about what a great community we have but also the impact Chris has had on the community and the people he�s been around.
�Two quality people,� Flint said.
Shelly Aaland is the only FLC coach to take a Skyhawks volleyball team to the NCAA Tournament.
During her 10 years of coaching, her teams posted an overall record of 129-148 and 89-99 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. The team went 11-16 overall last year and 7-12 in the RMAC for a fourth-place conference finish.
�I�ve always enjoyed them. They would both give me a tough time about being a (Chicago) Cubs fan,� said Duane Smith, a former professor and FLC Athletic Hall of Famer. �She�s had some good seasons. At Fort Lewis, anything close to .500 � kind of like the Cubs � is good. And she�s had some excellent seasons.�
Those 129 total wins place Shelly Aaland, who also served as an assistant coach from 2001 to �03, third all-time in program history.
In 2006, Shelly Aaland�s Skyhawks earned a berth to the program�s first-ever NCAA Division II Tournament. They repeated that feat in 2007, when the Skyhawks won their first RMAC title since 1994 as well as the RMAC West Division title.
Each of Shelly Aaland�s teams also maintained grade-point averages higher than 3.19.
�Shelly�s someone that�s absolutely always cared about her kids, and they�ve obviously always performed in the classroom and graduated, and she�s done a lot for a lot of people,� Clarke said.
Shelly Aaland also was a four-year letter-winner for the Skyhawks from 1995 to �98, when she led the RMAC in service aces as a junior with 0.48 per game and was second in the league as a senior with 0.40 per game.
As the starting setter her senior year, Shelly Aaland was chosen by her teammates as the 1998 team�s most valuable player.
Shelly Aaland ranks second among the Skyhawks� career leaders in service aces with 0.42 per game, fourth in total service aces with 106, fifth in assists per game with 5.79 and sixth in total assists with 1,447.
Davis said the college hopefully would begin conducting searches to fill both positions within the next few weeks.

Baylor's Britney Griner is blessed with the ability to dunk in other girl's faces, but cursed because she punches those faces. Since this behavior isn't condoned, this newscast will only replay the punch three times from two different angles.
Griner was ejected from this game for punching Texas Tech's Jordan Barncastle in the face after a mild scuffle. Thus confirming that girls fighting remains the only reason anyone ever hears about women's basketball.
