I've built a fenced area in Minecraft in which cows, pigs and over wildlife I intend to congregate. Only problem, how can I make them happy? In that they quite often bounce by the fence, wanting to get out. Any recommendations?
Cows (along with all passive mobs) have no AI other than "wander". They will blissfully stumble head-first into lava if given the chance.
As of Beta 1.6.6, there is no way to encourage Passive Mobs to stick around; even "happy" cows will disappear into the ether if you wander far enough away that the chunk gets unloaded from Memory.
On the other hand, fence-escaping can simply be halted by making the fence taller.
As of Beta 1.8, passive mobs no longer despawn. If you fence a cow, sheep, or pig, and keep them safe from wolves / aggressive mobs, they should stay fenced-in indefinitely.
You can prevent the cows bouncing by simply making the fence taller. Their pathing AI seems to think they can make what should be a one block jump; however, the fences' unusual collision check ends up blocking them. Thus, they start bouncing whenever they wander near.
You can't make them stay though, they will despawn eventually (as of 1.6.6).

6 Places You Should Never Twitter From
#3. From Guatemala
Alright, so tweeting from Guatemala in general probably isn't a problem, but you may want to limit your activity to details of your previous night's dinner exploits or mourning the death of Billy Mays. For example Twitter user Jeanfer, or @Jeanfer if you're a trendy fuckstick, will have a good long while to think about what happens when you get too comfortable with the idea of Internet anonymity. Check out this saucy tweet...
Seriously! That takes some cojones! What's that? You want us to translate? Jesus tap dancing Christ you're lazy. Fine, it says, "The first action people should take is to remove cash from Banrural, and break the banks of corrupt people #escandalogt." Also, cojones are testicles, or "balls" as the kids like to say.
As for the #escandalogt thing, that is a Twitter hash tag used to identify tweets relating to the assassination of Guatemalan attorney Rodrigo Rosenberg. You see, shortly before his death, Rosenberg posted a YouTube video claiming that then Guatemalan president Alvaro Colom was going to have him killed. Not one to back down from a challenge, Colom did just that (allegedly). Rosenberg was indeed assassinated a few days later. A video of Rosenberg's plea mashed up with a Black Eyed Peas song has yet to be posted, but give it time. Anyway, because Banrural was linked to the scandal that led to Rosenberg's assassination, Jeanfer suggested a run on the bank in an effort to bankrupt them.
In response to the tweet, Jeanfer was subjected to the most efficient criminal justice prosecution in history when he was raided, arrested, sent before a judge and sentenced all in one day. Apparently, recommending a run on banks is a crime in Guatemala, and Jeanfer was sentenced to prison until he is able to pay a $9,600 fine. Never mind the fact that this is more cash than most Guatemalans bring home in a year, what we want to know is exactly how the 37-year-old IT guy is going to scrape together the money while being simultaneously incarcerated.
Or maybe we don't want to know.
#2. From an Illegal City Council Meeting (at a Bar)
You know what really gets under people's skin? Having their entire neighborhood annexed into oblivion by way of a city council vote. When shit like that jumps off, folks tend to want to have some say in it before the bulldozers show up to reduce their happy home to a pile of lead paint and asbestos.
On the bright side, free Starbucks for life!
It's a good thing that most states have laws in place that prevent city council meetings from taking place without the public having the ability to attend. And it's a good thing for the sake of this article that Mukilteo, WA city council member Jennifer Gregerson either doesn't know these laws exist or, more hilariously, has no idea what "debrief" means.
After sending an unnecessarily high number of tweets during a city council meeting on a proposed plan to annex 11,500 residents from their homes, Gregerson followed up with this ill-advised message:
"City staff and some council now Debriefing and relaxing at ivars for late night happy hour. Time for dinner, I think!"
"Hey, what goes good with getting rid of 12,000 residents? Would that be a red, or white?"
Four council members were present at the late night soiree along with Mayor Joe Marine and City Attorney Angela Belbeck. According to Washington's Open Meeting Act, debriefing among four or more members of the city council constitutes a quorum and the public must be allowed to attend. By including the word "debrief" in and/or failing to add "LOL! Plz to come join us you guyz!" at the end of her tweet, Gregerson implied that the city council was breaking the law. Naturally, people noticed. Among those who were less than impressed with the clandestine meeting was the awesomely named Mukilteo resident, Christine Awad Schmalz, who had this to say:
"I've lived in other cities in the U.S. and I've never seen anything quite so blatant as sitting in your local restaurant one goes and sitting there like that."
Fucking government hotshots, always sitting in restaurants one goes and shit. It's enough to make a person form a militia. But instead of rising up in arms against her oppressors, Awad Schmalz said she was going to file a formal complaint. So far, no action has been taken against the city council members, but in a nice twist that says, "This shitty town only has one goddamned bar," Mayor Jim Marine's opponent in the upcoming mayoral election, Pat Smith, was at Ivar's that night also and used the incident as campaign fodder. According to Smith, he believes Gregerson, "spoke the truth, that her Twitter was accurate, and that misbehavior that broke the law did occur." As for Pat, he was just there to quietly get trashed in the corner.
#1. From Your Specific Goddamned Location in Iraq
Among the discussion about why the terrorists hate us, there should probably be a sidebar about why the terrorists choose to fuck with us so much. If we're giving our two cents, we'd say that it's probably because sometimes, just like the fat chick who wears spandex pants and tube tops for no discernible reason, we're easy targets.
Michigan Congressman Pete Hoekstra demonstrated this with a series of ill advised tweets about his specific locations during a trip to Iraq, including a 12 hour advance notice of his plans to visit the war torn country. After touching down, he made sure to let the insurgents--his loving public--know that he "just landed in Iraq." Shortly thereafter came news that he "Moved into green zone by helicopter, Iraqi flag now over palace. Headed to new U.S. embassy." That was followed up with "Cake boy in Citgo restroom just outside Basrah. Looking for twinks for rough play in next 30 minutes." Fine, maybe we made that last one up.
Anyway, in all fairness we're pretty confident that terrorists aren't planning their activities around Twitter updates, but the controversy surrounding this story might lead them to consider it. There is a reason why most politicians make "surprise" visits to Iraq, that reason being that they don't want some grammatically challenged Afghani 14-year-old commenting on their beheading on YouTube.
After democrats cried hypocrisy over Hoekstra's tweets (he previously spoke out against the unauthorized leaking of information), the Congressman responded in typical political fashion by blaming opposition party members of doing the same thing before adding a completely not plausible defense. "You don't know it's the exact time, you don't know whether I sent that the minute I got in the car, whether it's halfway to the embassy or after I got that." Pete, nobody tweets about the past. That's the entire point of Twitter. If you said you were at the embassy at 11:56, you were. Just be glad you didn't get abducted and stop using Twitter. That goes for the rest of you too.

Police responded to a complaint on Thursday morning (June 5) about a 63-year-old Cohasset man who had been observed walking around his yard naked and defecating outside. Officers went to his address and the man denied the allegations, police said. Police said there have been prior reports that the man was defecating and using his waste as compost. Police warned him that if there were any more reports, he would be reported to the Board of Health and could possibly face criminal prosecution.

text: I will start my day right by uploading yet another lesson on a sports logo from a team that is based out of Detroit. Here is "how to draw the Detroit Lions", step by step. This silhouette of a pouncing lion is one of my favorite logos I have recreated thus far. The simplistic design and clean lines helps make this lion easy to replicate when it comes to drawing it on paper. I will try by hardest to breakdown the Detroit Lion's logo so all you fans out there have an easy time with drawing the Detroit Lions lion. This team was established back in 1929 with the owner being William Clay Ford Sr. it became part of the NFL or National Football League in 1930, and has Honolulu blue, silver, black and white colors. There is an actual name for the lion too it's 'Roary the Lion'. So go ahead and have fun with this sports tut and I will prepare my next tutorial. Have fun and good luck.

This is the normal design of manfrotto center columns.

This is the normal design of manfrotto center columns.
You can take off the rubber cup and replace it upside down with this accessory: http://www.manfrotto.com/product/837...ter_for_055DCL.
Type B fits 32mm tripod center column natively. It can be adapted to 28mm or 26mm with a plastic fitting. Customers can select one of 28mm or 26mm fitting to each order.
Type A has a price of $49.95.
Type B has a price of $59.95. additional fitting sells for $5.
Type B will work for Manfrotto tri-facet center column.
We listen. We try harder.
Hi Nick,
that's great and makes the use of the clever designed Tripod Adapter much more easier by connecting it to the center column directly. Don't forget to place this info to panoguide as well.
You know there are lot of sharks int the basin.
Regards, and thx for all your time to develop the whole system on and on.
I know this is an older thread, but if you see this Nick, which tripod adapter for a pole would work with my Induro CX-214?
You can send me a private message too if you like.
Jeff Ellis
Hi Jeff,
May be I can help you in between.
This looks difficult to me. Using the tripod in a "normal position" the center column sits aside the top plate in between the legs, right? This would be the "normal position" of the pole adapted with the tripod adapter. Because of stability specially with longer poles Nick has stated in another thread, that you might not extend the distance between center column and pole by using extensions to the tripod adapter. Using the tripod adapter on your center column, will place the pole far outside the center of the top plate of your tripod. This is unstable and I am sure Nick will not accept such a use of the Tripod Adapter.
Is is possible to replace your "center column" with a normal center column? Then you need Type B which can be adapted to center columns directly with diameter 32mm natively, to 28, 26 and 25 mm diameters with an insert.
As long as it fits the requirement of tripod adapter A/B, your tripod can be used. Mount the adapter in an orientation that the pole is closest to the center of tripod.
We listen. We try harder.

I'm new to QGIS.
How can I combine multiple raster layers into one layer?
The raster images are of different areas with very little overlap.
The goal is to bring numerous town plats into one project.
Similar to the merge function is building a virtual raster:
This leverages the GDAL Virtual format (.vrt), which is an XML file that defines how the files are positioned, etc. Virtual rasters can save considerable disk space, and QGIS 'sees' them as a single file. This is very useful for rasters that do not need blended together to create a new image file, i.e. just connected together in a mosaic. Many options beyond the GUI tool exist, if you use the underlying GDAL command line gdalbuilvrt utility.
A .vrt can be quite large. To increase the speed of rendering in QGIS, you can create an external overviews 'sidecar' file.
When using this tool with a .vrt, or with a merged file, I opt for external TIFFs with slight to no JPEG compression, which will create a file with the .ovr extension. The tool leverages GDAL's gdaladdo utility and provides fairly complete coverage of its options.
You may want to read both GDAL utility pages to fully understand what the GUI tools are doing and how you might want to override the options (by clicking the pencil and directly editing the command).
I would advise against celenius' suggestion (with respect) for the very reason he mentions plus the 'interesting' results you can get in some systems where some rasters have NoData (NoData is not the same thing as zero). Use the merge tool provided (its a lot easier and safer):
This essentially does the same thing as the GDAL utility gdal_merge; which is another alternative approach using the command line (or run as a sub-process under Python). BTW I'm using QGIS 1.9.90-Alpha, but this tool has been around for a while so I presume that it is available under 1.7x.

I'm just getting started with GeoPy and have been running some tests
to determine the quality of the different available geocoders. I have
noticed that Bing's geocoder is more accurate than Google's (for my
purposes, at least), but instead of returning a zip code, Bing returns
<built-in function zip> rather than the zipcode. Any thoughts as to
why/ways to correct this?
Here's my test code:
from geopy import geocoders
g = geocoders.Google()
b = geocoders.Bing('<DEV KEY HERE>')
services = [g, b]
def search_list(addylist):
for address in addylist:
for x in services:
for place, (lat, lng) in x.geocode(address,
print "%s: %s: %.9f, %.9f \n" % (x, place, lat, lng)
addy1 = '513 N 36th Ave , Seattle'
addy2 = '121 S First Street , La Conner'
addy3 = '854 NE 58th St, Seattle'
addylist = [addy1, addy2, addy3]
My output is:
<geopy.geocoders.google.Google object at 0x18e75d0>: 513 36th Ave,
Seattle, WA 98122, USA: 47.606811900, -122.287247300

Seattle, WA 98103, USA: 47.651385400, -122.351573800
<geopy.geocoders.bing.Bing object at 0x18e76d0>: 513 N 36TH St,
Seattle, WA <built-in function zip>, United States: 47.651340485,

<geopy.geocoders.google.Google object at 0x18e75d0>: 121 N 1st St, La
Conner, WA 98257, USA: 48.394719800, -122.494525700
<geopy.geocoders.bing.Bing object at 0x18e76d0>: 121 S 1ST St, La

<geopy.geocoders.bing.Bing object at 0x18e76d0>: 854 NE 58TH St,
Seattle, WA <built-in function zip>, United States: 47.670978546,
Bing seems to be more consistent, only returning a single correct result rather than two results. The only issue is that Bing doesn't seem to want to return a zipcode, for some reason, rather it returns a string containing the address and
<built-in function zip>.

Top 100 Films
Seeing David Gibson's piece on Top 10 Rules of Writing made me realize that you-all might be interested in the just-released "Arts & Faith Top 100 Films" list.And yes, it's been released in the week leading up to the Oscars for that very reason....The list grows out of an online community, ArtsandFaith.com, which the journal I edit, IMAGE, recently adopted.The posts on the site are wide-ranging in terms of art forms and interests but it's become a haven for a lot of cinephiles and they've been producing Top 100 Films lists now for a number of years.This year's list is pretty amazing. While the list is specifically intended to highlight films that have some sort of engagement with spiritual or religious matters, you're not going to find The Ten Commandments or The Passion of the Christ here.It may skew a bit toward the more challenging end of the cinematic realm, but it's a thoroughly global list and there are very few duds on it. IMHO.Check it out here.I'd be curious to know what people think of the list. Like/dislike? Which of your favorites got left out?

At the risk of being labelled pedestrian for my tastes, off the top of my head I would add:The MatrixLord of the RingsAvatarDoubtJoy Luck ClubHouse of Sand and FogThe Kite Runner
If I had to cite on glaring omission though, I would have to cite The entire Matrix trilogy for sure which had clear spiritual themes rooted in Christianity albeit with a slight Gnostic twist.
Where is Robert Duval's "The Apostle"?
Number 33, Joe. It's too bad this list wasn't compiled after Lourdes made it to the Left Coast (or at least DVD). The film closed last night in New York. Here's hoping it finds wider distribution soon. Superb.
"The Apostle" is on there, #32. One of my favorites. Ditto "Black Narcissus."Glaring omission is Roberto Benigni's "Life is Beautiful" and his somewhat less harrowing "The Tiger in Snow" (with soundtrack offerings by the beautiful and talented Tom Waits).Given the way the list-makers seem to be defining "faith and spirituality," I'm not sure why "On the Waterfront" didn't make it. Or "Night of the Hunter."I'll go pedestrian with George D and admit that I found "Into Great Silence" utterly unwatchable. Which I'm sure says lots more about me than the film, but, given that it's Lent, my friends here will doubtless forbear.
Love Babette's Feast! Hate Black Narcissus.I love The Bishop's Wife. The great Gladys Cooper. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0178066/bio A lovely boys choir. And Cary Grant as an angel, performing miracles with tinsel, brandy, the coin, the chair, etc.
I'm glad Jesus of Montreal is there, though barely. The Apostle is superb. George D, my apologies, but "The Matrix" trilogy I found as incomprehensible as most Gnostic writings. Greg, thanks for posting this...I just finished editing a "Faith & Film" edition at ReligionLink:http://www.religionlink.com/tip_100302.php(We included "Image," but I'll put in the Top 100 list link too.) As I set about writing on this topic for PoliticsDaily, I am interested in the question of what makes a spiritual and/or religious film? Many selections are about overtly religious topics (even without "Passion of the Christ" in there), yet many are not. They have spiritual "themes" and "motifs"...But are such things really spiritual or are they just the stuff of drama? Suffering, redemption, character development...Again, what makes a film religious or spiritual? Is preaching by indirection more "artistic" than a blatantly "religious" film like "The Song of Bernadette"? Thanks for indulging me. While I love the spirituality of films, and think the best ones have such themes, I also wonder at times if we aren't stretching the category too much. Rowan Williams thinks -- along with many, including me --that "Babette's Feast" is a great religious film. But it could also be read as much else.
"But are such things really spiritual or are they just the stuff of drama? Suffering, redemption, character development."Yes, great question. I've seen maybe a third of those on the list, and I'd say that those without religiously overt themes consciously use religious imagery or referenceto make meaning. I don't like "Babette" much, but I could appreciate how "communion" plays out in the food throughout the film (not to mention the contrast between the "Protestant" and "Catholic" food).Hope you will post your PolitcsDaily so we can get more food for thought.
I don't recognize many of the films on the list, but I was glad to see The Apostle, Diary of a Country Priest, Chariots of Fire, and Into Great Silence. I think The Mission should have been on the list. Robert DeNiro and Jeremy Irons were excellent, as was the screenplay by Robert Bolt of A Man for All Seasons fame.
Oops, my mistake.
I agree with William Collier that The Mission should clearly have been on the list. I also find Romero to be a powerful movie. I also consider Entertaining Angels, a movie about Dorothy Day, to very well done, and better than some of the movies on this list.
No 'On the Warerfront'? fogettaboutit list
Two by Tati, but no Chaplin? At the very least, Bedazzled with Cook and Moore should be on any list of films on faith that includes comedy.I suppose now I will have to make time to see Andrei Rublev and The Decalogue, which have been waiting for me to set aside sufficient blocks of time. At least then I will have seen half of the top ten, better than just 3.I am also surprised that a group that put Ordet at the top of its list did not include another Danish film, Adam's Apples
I'll put in another plug for "Tree of the Wooden Clogs," a great Italian film about life in a rural community around the turn of the 20th century.I don't quite see why "Mr. Hulot's Holiday" is on the list, but it's forty years since I watched it...
Interesting list! I was glad to see three classics I've seen quite recently and been haunted by: "The Passion of Joan of Arc", "Wild Strawberries", and "Diary of a Country Priest". Having just read the wonderful Wolf Hall, I'm afraid I'll never be able to enjoy "A Man for all Seasons" again (the book plays the movie More's sanctity as sanctimoniousness). And how many best of lists have "Punch Drunk Love" 10 spots behind "Rashomon"?
Gee. I was disappointed to find that "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey" didn't make the cut although "The Seventh Seal", on which it was based, did (of course).Station!
I guess all omissions are "glaring," right?I particularly missed "The Lives of Others."David: I don't think "preaching by indirection" should somehow be elevated to a principle on its own, but I do think that "human drama" when enacted at the highest level is inherently religious. Mark: sorry to disagree with you about "Wolf Hall," which I thought was so appallingly biased as to be nearly unreadable. According to Mantel, More is a monster and Cromwell a hero. Not even Robert Bolt made things that lopsided, since he at least demonstrates respect for Cromwell's brilliance as a Machiavellian politician.
Antonio! Excellent!
Iagree with Bill Collier!Looking down, i couldn't help thinking of the deeply powerful Rod Steiger in the Pawnbroker.Footnote" I loved Tati but don't think he fits here.
Also, where is "Wise Blood"?Also happened to see John Frankenheimer's "Seconds" a few days ago. As a cult film, I'm not sure it belongs on the top 100 but its surreal evocation of death in life and its casting against type, with Rock Hudson as a doomed soul and Will Geer as an unctuous satanic figure, was truly scary.As added bonus was the casting of Keigh Dheigh, of "Manchurian Candidate" fame. as the aptly named Davalo.
David Gibson --You ask, "Again, what makes a film religious or spiritual?" ". ISTM that "spiritual"in its narrow sense means "real but not material". A movie about godless hero who dies out of his pure love for his countrymen could be spiritual in that sense. "Spiritual" in a deeper sense refers to "that which is transcendent', the ultimate, the fullness of actuality, i.e., God, even if not named."Religious" is a specifican of spiritual" in either sense as well as specific beliefs and practices having to do with God.The movie about the monks and silence is spiritual in both senses and religious as well, "The Song of Bernadette" also fits all three descriptions. (Are there any anti-religion movies?)At the other end of that spectrum, there is that perfect "little" Japanese movie "Shall We Dance?" It's spiritual in the fullest sense, but not at all religious. I think deserves to be on the list, but it isn't. It's about a company man who longs for transcendent beauty, as does his wife who appears only for a minute at the very end. It also includes the glorious character of Mr. Aioki. (I don't know how the theologians would classifies him, though surely God loves him in a very special way.)
Well, at least no one mentioned "The Sound of Music" or "The Passion of the Christ" so I suppose there's something to be thankful for.
I didn't like The Sound of Music, except for one thing: the abbess's beautiful chirothec.Agree about the Cook/Moore Bedazzled and The Tree of Wooden Clogs.
I, too, wish that "Wise Blood" made the cut.Keep in mind that these films were chosen through the votes of 44 people -- there was no point in the process where we could step back and say "No Chaplin?!" and then put one Chaplin in and take one Tati out.That's what you get with the anonymous vote method....
Lists like this are fun. Glad to see It's a Wonderful Life on there (but should be higher than #45) and Magnolia (not too many familiar with this excellent film. But "The Shawshank Redemption" should be on there (did I miss it?). Andy tells the warden, "Salvation lies within..."
(Sorry, hit submit too quickly). The escape from the prison, the ability to maintain hope and dreams in that hellhole of a situation... Shawshank is a great parable of redemption and Justice (1st last and last first...). And would have loved to see The Mission on the list [ even if I'm pushing my own community :) ]
How many of these movies are about self-sacrifice plus love of God?

I'm having a rather Oatmealesque experience with a particular client's website. The latest 'feature' they have requested is that background music play automatically when the site loads. What should I say to gently convince them that this is a bad idea?

My client wants me to add background music to a site. How do I tell them this is a terrible idea? [closed]
closed as primarily opinion-based by gnat, GlenH7, Dan Pichelman, MichaelT, Kilian Foth Oct 23 '14 at 9:30
Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I would introduce them to A/B testing. Then A/B test this feature.
If you're not familiar with it, https://www.google.com/analytics/siteopt/splash?hl=en can set it up for free. Alternately http://visualwebsiteoptimizer.com/ and http://www.optimizely.com/ are easier to use. Or you could learn the nuts and bolts of it, for example from the tutorial I did at OSCON a few years back, http://elem.com/~btilly/effective-ab-testing/.
Odds are good that the A/B test will tell them what you already know. If the A/B test doesn't tell them that, then they may be one of the small minority of websites where this feature actually makes sense.
Just speak is the only language they understand -> "buzzwords"
just respond thus:
Watch them, immediately drop it like a lead balloon.
I've done this countless times, it works because NO-ONE want's to "think" they are behind the curve.
If I were you, I would send an email with a few articles written by usability experts explaining the problem.
Use the subject line "Suggestions about background music". Make it neutral and friendly.
If they insist, put in the background music.
Client is king, but you have the right to decline any further collaboration if it really hurts you.
Update: few links as requested:
Imagine that you are listening for your favorite online radio, and have a dozen of tabs open in your browser. Then, suddently, a weird music starts on the background and you don't know where is it coming from so that you could turn it off and continue listening for the radio. You then shut down the whole browser and become angry. Describe this use case to your client.
Go with the really simple, "If you want music I will be happy to give it to you, but I think its a bad idea for this reason ." and then give them a few articles about it.
For one thing i would show them that picture :)
You could give them a list of reasons such as it's annoying, not all browsers might support it if you code it in flash vs html5 web player and it would slow down the loading of the website. Most of all it's not a modern thing to do.
Reload the page a couple of times and navigate around to hear the music restart over and over.
This usually helps...
I think your best bet is to advise them on exactly why music is a bad idea..
ie, Different people have different tastes, takes longer to load, etc..
But ultimately, if they still insist, I would go ahead and do as they ask. They are the client and your job is to advise, the choice is ultimately theirs.

5 Wacky Internet Pranks That Can Get You Jail Time
#2. "Joke" Threats
Raise your hand if you have never in your life said about a co-worker, "I'm gonna kill that guy!" or about a football team, "They're gonna get killed in the playoffs."
On the Internet, where everything is exaggerated and everybody feels a little more free to talk shit, we're even more prone to this kind of meaningless murder talk. It's a form of stress relief. We've all wrapped up a bad day by getting home, sighing and logging on to the Web. By the time we run out of porn and stop crying, we're good and drunk and ready to vent some frustration over Facebook or Twitter or whatever tab we happen to have open.
Hey, it beats screaming into the neighbors' open window.
That brings us to Paul Chambers, who as far as we know wasn't even drunk when he was traveling to meet his girlfriend. He was excited. His boner was primed and ready to go. He was probably all prepared to sling some dick ... when he arrived at Robin Hood Airport in Doncaster, U.K., and found it closed.
He logged onto his Twitter account to vent, saying "Crap! Robin Hood airport is closed. You've got a week and a bit to get your shit together otherwise I'm blowing the airport sky high!"
He had neither the intentions nor means to blow up the airport, any more than millions of fans in sports bars across America had the means to actually choke Brett Favre for throwing that interception that cost the Vikings a trip to the Super Bowl. Like those guys screaming over their beers, Chambers was just talking shit.
"I'm getting laid if it means taking out your whole fucking country!"
But you can guess what happened next. The "threat" was found in an Internet search by an airport employee who passed it on to police, and a week or so later, Chambers found himself in jail. His home was raided, his computer was confiscated as evidence, and he lost his job after the trial was over.
Then you have Walter Bagdasarian, who was participating in the most common pastime in Internet political discussion: talking shit about the president. Two weeks before Barack Obama got elected, Bagdasarian tied one on and logged into a Yahoo Finance board, unleashing a flurry of racial slurs and empty threats, including, "Fk the niggar, he will have a 50 cal in the head soon."
What good would a 50's calendar do?
Well ... that's pretty bad, but the "let's hope Obama is murdered" thing is an entire industry, complete with T-shirts advocating it. Calls for assassination are constant at FreeRepublic.com. (Sample: "all the speculation about 0bama being the actual Antichrist will either be confirmed or denied if someone gets off a lucky shot at the SOB.")
But, as you can guess, several Yahoo members reported Bagdasarian's post, and it made its way to the Secret Service. Before he knew it, Bagdasarian was balls deep in a river of fucked. He was arrested and later posting a $100,000 bond.
The secret service isn't known for fucking around.
But that's expected, because you can't threaten the president, right? Even if it was just one of millions of drunk guys spewing ridiculous bile?
But how about something a little more common, like online gaming trash talk? You can pretty much say whatever the hell you want on an online game and get away with it. That's why Xbox Live is 80 percent racism and 20 percent violent threats.
"You don't play video games very well! Raaarr!"
Well, Allieu Shaw was playing Call of Duty 4 when he started trash-talking about "shooting up the school." One of the other players contacted the police, who traced Shaw back to his dorm and the next day, several schools in the area were put on lockdown status. Shaw's own campus was reported to have more than 40 cops patrolling at one point.
They arrested him and took him away in handcuffs, then proceeded to search his room to find exactly no weapons. The university suspended him, pending its own investigation.
Public Enemy No. 1.
Just to be clear, don't think for one second I'm trying to give the other guy shit for turning him in. I'd have done the same if somebody said he was going to shoot up his school -- even if you're only right one time in a thousand, it's better to let somebody know. That's a hell of a lot better than saying nothing and seeing it on the news later.
It's just that it's so easy to forget that, when talking to strangers online, nobody can tell the difference between legitimate threats and what (to you) is exaggerated or "ironic" trash talk.
"If you don't stop camping, I swear to God I'll paint myself silver and shoot you in the face.
#1. Sneaking Into Other People's Email Accounts
In my spare time, I fix computers for people. Mostly just cleanup work, clearing off all the porn malware. But by far the most frequent question I get is, "Can you hack into my girlfriend's email?" You know, not to do anything illegal or anything like that. Just to see if she's talking to other dudes!
Jealousy is the basis of all healthy relationships.
Most of you probably wouldn't do that. But if, say, your roommate or classmate left himself logged in to Gmail or Facebook or Twitter, why, who could resist using his name to post tons and tons of dongs?
And you know what would be even more hilarious? Doing it to someone famous! Like the Frenchman who password-guessed his way into Obama's Twitter account ... and into a possible two-year prison sentence.
Twitter crimes don't put you in a high place in the prison pecking order.
He wasn't doing it to be malicious or to run a scam, and he wasn't doing it to facilitate some larger crime or to steal state secrets. Guessing the password is all he did. And while it's true that the authorities cared more because it was the president of the USA, under the law it makes no difference -- he was prosecuted under a French law that prohibits unauthorized access to databases (pretty much every country has that law or at least a form of it on the books).
So whether he logged in to Obama's Twitter, or yours, or John Cockspank's, the consequences would be the same. It's just a matter of whether John Cockspank is willing to press charges.
And let's not forget that 4chan poster who famously got into Sarah Palin's Yahoo email account. David Kernell is serving a year in federal custody for that stunt. Wait a second ... he did it on 4chan, right? Isn't it anonymous? Don't they call themselves Anonymous? They don't even have user IDs there.
Or toilet paper, most of the time.
Well, not only that, but he was behind a proxy when he posted.
Remember what I said earlier: You can always be found. So there's your lesson for today: Participate in 4chan tomfoolery and you, too, might find yourself in court watching 4chan's owner, Chris "moot" Poole, testifying from the witness stand.
Even if you use a proxy.

With Mountain Lion providing integration it is possible to have a contact's twitter username listed as a part of the contact. I don't see any way to manually do this before an account has already been added.
There seems to be two separate social media lists available. The first looks like this.
As you ca see it provides a list of quite a few networks, but no twitter. Once a twitter account has been added a second list seems to become available though, and lists different networks
This second list doesn't become available until an account has already been added. Which causes issues if none of your contact's details match with their twitter account, but you know their account and would like to add it.
Anyone know of a way around this?

I've heard the term "flat earthers" mentioned in regards to Christians. Does the Bible suggest that the earth is flat or that the earth is round?
What scripture is there that suggest a round earth or flat earth?
I've heard the term "flat earthers" mentioned in regards to Christians. Does the Bible suggest that the earth is flat or that the earth is round?
What scripture is there that suggest a round earth or flat earth?
closed as off-topic by curiousdannii, Mr. Bultitude, Dick Harfield, Matt Gutting, bruised reed Apr 15 '15 at 5:18
In addition to Isaiah 40:22, which Ashansky pointed out, there's also Job 26: 7, which states that the earth is hung "upon nothing". This is quite a difference from, for example, the Greek idea of Earth supported upon Atlas's shoulders, or the Hindu notion of Earth resting upon the back of an elephant which stands on the back of a turtle which swims in a vast ocean.
Also, Luke 17:31-36 speaks of people being taken away into heaven at (or before, but that's a matter for a different question) the time of the Second Coming, and states that some will be taken at night, and some in the daytime, even though it's supposed to happen all at once. That's not possible on a flat earth model.
The idea of a flat earth is not found in the Bible or in ancient Christian thought. The notion that people thought it was was invented almost simultaneously, but apparently independently, by two 19th-century authors. One came up with the idea for dramatic purposes; the other did so quite maliciously for the specific purpose of slandering and discrediting Christianity:
Also, from an extrabliblical source, it seems that Clement, bishop of Rome from the early Christian period, had correct knowledge of the earth. He spoke of antichthones (Greek, literally "people on the other side of the world") and stated that:
The passages that most suggest a flat earth are those that describe something geometrically impossible if interpreted literally for a spherical earth.
Daniel 4:10-11 (ESV)
Although the tree that is everywhere-visible due to height is repeated in Daniel 4:20 (by Daniel), it's a dream, so could be metaphorical, and anyway is just the opinion of Daniel and Nebuchadnezzar, who are probably not authorities on celestial geometry and are really talking about Nebuchadnezzar's impending fall due to unrighteousness.
Matthew 4:8 (ESV)
This certainly implies that the reason to go to a very high mountain is that you can see all the kingdoms of the world from a sufficiently tall mountain, but it doesn't flat-out say so. Perhaps it's just to gain an impressive if not worldwide perspective.
There's a verse in Isaiah that suggests that the earth is round.
The debate about whether this proves the bible taught the earth is round, seems to hinge on the hebrew word here used for circle "חוּג" (chug), the opposition argues that the Hebrew means a specific geometrical shape. While the pro side argues that the Hebrews at the time didn't have a proper word for sphere.
Ultimately I believe God revealed things to his people within the context of what they were able to understand and at that time it was a simple circle.
The claim that the Bible depicts a flat earth is out of misinformation spread against the Bible. Some of the Scriptural references are used with an aim of justifying this hollow claim. Some of the verses such as:
However, this passage makes reference to the cardinal directions as seen on a compass – i.e. north, south, east and west. Terminology to a similar effect is used today when we speak of the sun rising and setting each day, even though we know that it is, in fact, the earth which orbits around the sun.
Another passage often referred to is:
Here it speaks of God holding the pillars firm. However, the psalms are written in the poetry genre. Rather than referring to literal pillars, this is representative of God's guaranteeing the earth's stability. Even when the moral order of the world seems to have crumbled, God will not fully withdraw His sustaining power.
In contrast to the supposed "flat earth" verses, there are numerous Scriptures that clearly indicate otherwise. The earth is described in:
Here it depicted as being suspended over empty space, implying a spherical figure. This notion is further entertained in:
This refers to "the circle of the earth." This is further supported by:
Here it speaks of God drawing a circle on the face of the deep. From a "bird's-eye view" of the ocean, the horizon is seen as a circle. Such an observation indicates that where light terminates, darkness begins, describing the reality of day and night on a spherical earth.
The round-earth idea is further supported by Jesus in:
This would seem to indicate the phenomenon of day on one side of the globe while darkness abides on the other.
In conclusion, the curvature of the earth is certainly a biblical concept, and there is little or no basis for the charge that the Bible teaches a flat earth. The Scriptures that seem to present a flat earth can all easily be explained when correctly interpreted and understood.

We'd heard about newscasters getting airbrushed makeup and were quite intrigued. And afraid. According to Pinion, airbrushing covers the skin with lightweight pigment that stays put for up to 12 hours. He aimed various airbrush guns of concealer, golden foundation, and nutmeg-colored eye shadow on our face (holding stencils to protect our lips and brows), but wisely applied mascara and eyeliner the old-fashioned way. Airbrushing feels like a soft breeze, takes minutes, and looks more natural than our usual makeup. Since we'll never be able to duplicate it ourselves, we'll be returning to Pinion when we need to be camera-ready.
Washington, D.C.: Facials

1604 K St., N.W.
Luci-Eliza Straubel
1180 F St., N.W.
Only when we sat down for our lunchtime facial did we realize we'd forgotten concealer to cover the inevitable blotchiness. And aesthetician Straubel couldn't reassure us, especially when the apple-pulp exfoliator stung like needles and the paprika-infused mask brought blood rushing to our cheeks. We're not sure whether it was Straubel's gentle massage or the Stonecrop plant mask that calmed and moisturized our face, but when we left, it was shining without the help of makeup.

Ray exudes the calm confidence of a man who has worked on the faces of countless local celebrities and powerful politicians. After evaluating our features, he announced that we should emphasize our green eyes and spent a full 25 minutes blending sage shadows with short, deft brush strokes.

The cars whizzing down Wisconsin Avenue are no competition for the traffic inside this Georgetown spa. We jostled our way up three crowded flights of stairs to a treatment room. "We're gonna make you look good," chirped Smith, as she smoothed on the warm wax. Several yelps later, our once bland brows were curved and thin. Our face suddenly seemed alive with expression. But maybe that was just because we couldn't stop smiling.

The feel: The entire space is lavender, both inside and out.
The treatment: Eastman used three masks (one to remove impurities, one to soften dry spots, and one to calm), interspersing extractions and massages in between.
Bottom line: There was nothing cutting-edge about our facial, but we loved the radiant results.

We Energies plant fire deemed minor
Oak Creek — Firefighters from Oak Creek, Cudahy, South Milwaukee, Franklin, Saint Francis and Greenfield responded to reports of smoke and fire at the Oak Creek We Energies power plant on Tuesday.
The fire was caused by a loss of control systems to two of the plant's boilers, causing cooling fans to shut down and igniting coal dust around insulation Oak Creek Fire Chief Thomas Rosandich said. Plant operators shut both boilers down and called 911.
Two small fires resulted, and they were put out within an hour, Rosandich said. No firefighters were injured. He added that the logistics of getting personnel to the right portion of the 1,400-acre plant was the most difficult part of the operation.
"The guys stuck to their plan inside, and everything went very well," Rosandich added.
We Energies spokesman Brian Manthey said the plant was evacuated and no employees were injured. The two boilers will remain offline until plant operators run through a total inspection and fix the control systems.» Read Full Article
Man found passed out in turn lane arrested for fourth drunken driving offense
A man was arrested for his fourth drunken driving offense within a five-year period after he was found passed out in his vehicle on Howell Avenue during the early morning hours of Oct. 13.
According to the Oak Creek police report:
Police were alerted to the intoxicated driver after a 911 caller reported the driver of a Jeep appeared to be passed out or sleeping in the left-turn lane on Howell Avenue at Rawson Avenue about 4:45 a.m. Oct. 13.
An officer found the vehicle just past the left-turn lane with its brake lights on. The officer waited through one cycle of lights but the vehicle didn't move, and the officer's first attempts to wake the driver were unsuccessful.
The driver finally woke up after the officer shook his vehicle. The driver was arrested for drunken driving after he registered a 0.22 on breath test. He was taken to Wheaton Franciscan Hospital for a blood draw.» Read Full Article
Couple cited after complaint of sex in Cudahy apartment building
A 25-year-old Cudahy woman and a 27-year-old Milwaukee man were cited for disorderly conduct after police received a complaint about a couple having sex in the hallway of an apartment building Oct. 17.
According to the Cudahy police report:
Someone in the building was alerted to the activity when his dog began to bark. He called police, who found the woman and man in the hallway of the apartment building in the 3800 block of East Edgerton Avenue at 4:54 a.m. Oct. 17.
The Milwaukee man said the couple was "just making out," and were in the hallway because "there were children in the apartment and they did not want to do that in front of them."
Franklin home likely a 'complete loss' after fire
Franklin — Six residents were evacuated from their home after a fire ravaged the structure Sunday, according to the Franklin Fire Department.
The department responded to the home fire in the 6800 block of South Dory Drive about 7 p.m. Sunday, Franklin Fire Chief Adam Remington said.
"The fire was pretty extensive," Remington said. "We believe it began on, or under, the deck and spread to the house. All three floors, including the basement, were pretty well involved by the time we got there.
"The house will probably be a complete loss."
Three of the residents were evaluated for smoke inhalation, but did not require further medical treatment, Remington said.» Read Full Article

Indian Trail's fast start too much for Oak Creek in 52-28 playoff decision
Towards the end of an already alarmingly bad first half for the Oak Creek football team in its eventual season-ending 52-28 WIAA Division I Level I playoff loss to host Kenosha Indian Trail Friday night, some wag in the stands offered this advice for the defense:
"What you're doing isn't working, try something else!"
Easy for him to say, because the Knights, who had been looking for a bit of revenge against the Hawks for a regular season defeat two months ago, were often caught in what seemed to be a Halloween movie-style nightmare all evening long.
Because just like a ghost, everytime they tried to grasp an Indian Trail receiver or back, that player seemed to disappear into the open field and right into the end zone.

Oak Creek house fire sends one to hospital
One man was taken to the Wheaton Franciscan Hospital for treatment of smoke inhalation and neck pain after a house fire in the 200 block of East Forest Hill Avenue on Oct. 13.
According to the Oak Creek police report:
The Fire Department and police responded to the home when a passerby called 911 to report flames coming out of the roof of the house at 6:24 a.m. Oct. 13.
The Franklin and Greenfield fire departments also assisted in extinguishing the fire, which caused major damage to the home. A damage estimate was unavailable at the time of the report.
The resident told police he had multiple electrical cords in the house, and that he woke up "to the sound of the electricity coming on" before realizing his attic was on fire. He stated he had run outside, gotten a garden hose and gone back into the residence to try to put out the fire but was overcome by the smoke.» Read Full Article

The members of the Greendale football team clustered near the end zone at Steve Gavinski Field, posing for pictures and holding high the first Woodland Conference championship trophy.
The Panthers had just rolled past South Milwaukee, 41-7, in the initial meeting of the champions of the Woodland West and East Divisions on Thursday night.

Sabers affirm elite status in Southeast, clinch title tie
"You're not ready!" chanted the Kenosha Indian Trail student section as the visiting Franklin Sabers took the field just before kickoff Friday at Jaskwhich Stadium.
It would turn out to be wishful thinking for Hawks fans.
Senior quarterback Sean McGuire tossed two first-half touchdown passes to receiver Nick Plath, and the Sabers (7-1, 6-0) held off a furious Hawks rally in the final two minutes to prevail, 28-21, over Kenosha Indian Trail (7-1, 5-1) in a battle between the top two teams in the Southeast Conference.
The victory clinches no worse than a tie for the league title for the Sabers, and their first crown since 2010. They have a chance to clinch the title outright in the regular season closer when they host Racine Park (0-8) at 7 p.m. Friday. The WIAA playoffs will follow.
Franklin will go in with a large head of steam following its critical win over Indian Trail, which was vying for a historic first league championship in just its second year of existence.» Read Full Article

A 15-year-old Cudahy boy suffered a facial fracture and three loose teeth after he was punched in the face over a racially offensive comment Oct. 1.

Print Globe really bailed us out! We had a customer who slammed us with a difficult project that we couldn't fulfill in house, and our regular vendor was dragging his feet and couldn't even get us a hard price to tell our customer. Print Globe was able to create a solution for us and our customer and delivered on time and without complaints.

Who knows two hundred eighty-nine?
?תשעה ושמונים ומאתים - מי יודע
In the spirit of the song "Echad - mi yodeya", please post interesting and significant Jewish facts about the number 289.
There's probably a specific rip-off gematria available.
Check out mi-yodeya-series for the previous two hundred eighty-eight entries in this ongoing series.

The sefer Bris Kehunas Olam writes that ברא אלקים equals 289, which is 17*17 (as in Gershon's answer), representing the two kinds of good that Hashem performed during the six days of Creation: the revealed kind ("G-d saw that it was good") and the concealed one ("G-d saw the light that it was good" and, as Rashi says, hid it away for the future).
Some of this light, he goes on to say, is revealed on Shabbos, represented by the phrase ויברך אלקים, which equals 18*18 or 324. The total of these two numbers is 613, the number of mitzvos, which are all included in Shabbos.
There are 289 absolute Hapax legomena (words that appear only once) in the Tanach. An absolute Hapax legomena is a word where even the shoresh is a Hapax legomenon.
289 can only be divided by 17 and 289 divided by 17 = 17 so 289 is Tov x Tov
Unfortunately, I could only find a sad reference:
There are 14 possible Jewish calendar combinations. In a year where the following combination happens - זח"ג - there are 289 days that are not Shabbos or Yom Tov (Chutz L'Aretz) and you may do Melacha.
An explanation of what זח"ג mean.

IN (SELECT comments_fbid FROM link_stat WHERE url='*** EVENT HREF ***')
After tinkering with the FQL test console, I can see that the replies are being added to this 'comments' field. However, rather than trying to retrieve ALL of the replies, I'm trying to lookup the specific one whose ID I received in the comment.create event handler. The problem is, since 'comments' appears to be a field rather than a linked table, I don't think I can query it.
Anyone else run into this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Video from the Collapsed Bridge
See our video team's footage of the scene yesterday and listen to John Piper talk about why there is suffering in the world.
The audio is from the message "Where Is God."
(If you would like to read further, please see the article and the poem that John Piper wrote in response to the tragedy.)
Don't like what John Piper is saying? Or perhaps it just doesn't seem to make much sense. Here are some more resources that might be helpful in understanding what we believe God has to do with tragedies:

Good afternoon everybody.
I am reading on a book about semiconductor mobility. I have fully understood the definition, but I also noticed that often one talks about high or low mobility. My question is: what are the advantages of having a high mobility? I mean, in the technological applications or experimental uses of the semiconductor/etherojunction. Do you know any main methods to improve mobility (in Si and/or Ge semiconductors for example)? Any bibliography about them?
