In my model I have an array of objects called events. I would like my controller to be notified whenever a new object is added to events.
I thought that a good way to do this would be use the KVO pattern to get notified when the events changes (from a new object being added)
// AppDelegate
// events is a NSMutableArray @property/@synthesize etc...
[appDelagate addObserver:self
But the observeValueForKeyPath method wasn't being called and I discovered that Arrays are not KVO compliant :-(
One option is to manually trigger the method by calling willChangeValueForKey for the keyPath
// ViewController
[self willChangeValueForKey:@"events"];
[self.events addObject:event];
[self didChangeValueForKey:@"events"];
But this feels heavy since I should probably also keep track of the before and after state of my events array so that it can be accessed from the observeValueForKeyPath method.
One approach could be to use a standard array (instead of mutable) and create/set a new instance of events each time I want to add an new object, or I could make a separate property that keeps track of how many items are in the mutable array (I wish you could observe @"events.count" ).
Another option would be to use NSNotificationCenter. I've also read some answers that suggest using blocks (but I have no idea where to start on that).
Finally, could I keep an instance of my controller in my delegate and just send a relevant message?
// Delegate
[myController eventsDidChange];
Is it odd to keep a reference to a controller from a delegate?
I'm struggling to understand how to choose which is the best approach to use, so any advice on performance, future code flexibility and best practices is greatly appreciated!

This may or may not be a real TeX/LaTeX question but rather a general question on punctuation:
How are the different dashes

-- "–" and
--- "—" supposed to be used?
This may or may not be a real TeX/LaTeX question but rather a general question on punctuation:
How are the different dashes
The grammar school version (for English usage) is:
As Charles notes in the comments, you should probably consult whatever style guide you use (or are required to use) for a more comprehensive and detailed treatment. Especially for the tricky cases.
The answers and comments I have seen so far are incomplete and not entirely accurate in some regards. Rather than hiding all the information in comments, here is a summary. Note that I'm listing only the cases that occur most frequently and that seem to raise the most questions. I am not saying that my answer is exhaustive. (For example, I'm omitting discussion of the various uses of dashes in dialogues or quoted speech because (1) they pop up rarely in the (La)TeX world as they are mostly relevant to copyeditors of fiction (who can be assumed to have learned the rules otherwise) and (2) their usage is rare and thus not necessarily governed by hard-and-fast, rigid rules.)
The em-dash has very few recommended use cases nowadays.
(Note that usage of either em- or en-dashes for parenthetical purposes includes many cases where you visually see only one em/en-dash, simply because of the implicit orthographic rule that the beginning or end of a sentence "eats" one member of the "dash-dash parenthesis symbol pair".)
The en-dash has two frequent usages:
Q: Are there constraints against line-breaking around dashes?
(Now you might ask: Why would anyone want to forbid line breaks on either or both sides of a dash? I can think of two possible reasons: (1) Perhaps someone would want to treat all dashes like hyphens, by visual analogy. (2) One could think of the two hyphens in a parenthetical pair as an "opening hyphen" and a "closing hyphen" and by analogy with other parenthesis types forbid the former line-finally and the latter line-initially. But such a distinction is never made in practice.)
Wikipedia claims en-dash usage for "relationships and connections", but Chicago does not recognize that; this "relationships and connections" usage is IMO newfangled and not generally accepted. But then, note as a disclaimer that I don't agree with all of Chicago. (Because many of its statements are prescriptivist recommendations, but I am trying to be descriptivist. Prescriptivism can be good, but many recommendations I've read - here and elsewhere - are neither descriptively accurate nor backed up by argument.)
Some thoughts and observations about page ranges:
Note that Wikipedia offers some "prescriptivist poppycock" (that expression is taken from the Language Log blog, which I highly recommend): "The figure dash is used when a dash must be used within numbers (e.g. phone number 555‒0199). It does not indicate a range, for which the en dash is used [...]." It is actually quite unclear where these prescriptions come from. I definitely can say that such usage is not widespread, and I do not see an obvious reason: the hyphen doesn't have the same semantic status as a digit, neither in a digit string (where it acts as a separator) nor in a range (of page numbers, units in physics, ...). Semantically the only intuitive rule is that the separator should be wider than the digit separation (that is, wider than zero) and that it should ideally be narrower than other surrounding orthographic divisions, to make clear that the digit group is a close unit (on the phrase structure level). That is, it would be odd to use an em-dash in a page range (since a sentence containing that page range would then have the largest visual separator token be just that em-dash), but by the same reasoning an en-dash is also not appropriate. So, a hyphen seems entirely fine, and I am somewhat surprised that the oft-heard (in the (La)TeX community) statement that ranges necessitate an en-dash isn't supported by either solid references or a good linguistic argument that talks about tokens, orthography, and phrase structure. As for non-range digit groupings: dots and colons can also function as separating elements in a sequence of digits, but noone would ever think about wanting to set them in a monospaced font with equal-to-digit width.
Usage of the em dash, since that's what dmckee's explanation doesn't tackle: it's nicest to think of the em dash as a dramatic pause in a sentence, and it need not be used parenthetically. Chicago (6.87) calls it "the most commonly used and versatile of the dashes", and lists among its uses:
Don't overuse it! Em dashes stand out more than any other piece of normal punctuation and too many on a page can make the text look absurd. Use it only to add force to your writing, or to solve tricky to parse punctuation problems — and those are often best solved by finding a less complex way of making your point.
Bringhurst says (The Elements of Typographic Style, v3.2, pp80-81):
In (La)TeX, (1) - gives you a hyphen, (2) -- an en dash, and (3) --- an em dash.
Wikipedia has very comprehensive articles on these topics:

Venetian Glass 12mm Round - Abstract Gold Foil, Aquamarine and Peridot
Gold foil at the center of this Venetian glass bead warms the aquamarine glass above it and adds a metallic gleam. Above the first layer of gold foil, two separate pieces of gold float in peridot glass. The result is a unique bead with a beautiful play of green, yellow and blue colors. Use two of these beads to create a unique pair of earrings or try adding one or two as accents in larger designs. Be sure to explore the rest of our

What are things Brought down in Halacha that we do not do because of Danger?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 4:2 - Not urinating when one has the urge
Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 6:5 - Not pouring out water in homes next to where a person died
Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 32:17 - Drinking very cold water when tired
Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 33:
Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 161:20 - Cutting of Polish plaits
Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 177:
Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 199:13 - Leaving a freshly dug grave open overnight
What things are dangerous?
A.) Anything currently recognized by today's conventional medicine as dangerous.
B.) Anything codified into Halacha as dangerous.
The majority of medicinal statements in the Talmud were not codified into law by the Rambam or others. (In the 900s, the head of Babylon's yeshiva of Pumbedisa, R' Sherira Gaon, wrote: "the rabbis of the Talmud were not doctors, and wrote down the medicine of their day; do not attempt any Talmudic medicine unless our expert doctors today have established that it could do no harm.) The Rambam himself wrote in his medical advice as Halacha (parts of chapter 4 of Laws of Personality Traits), and again much of that did not make it into later sources of straight Halacha.
Something like "don't put coins in your mouth because diseased people may have handled them" appears Talmudically on down, and makes sense from our medical perspective today. "Don't eat fish and meat together" is the interesting exception, something that doesn't seem to be borne out by medicine today, but clearly made it into all the halachic sources (Shulchan Aruch etc.). The Magen Avraham (commenting on OC173:2) acknowledges this is the exception to the rule, and shrugs his shoulders at how it came to be halacha (though he accepts it as such).
Today, if you have a custom about these other safety things that appeared in non-canonical sources, by all means keep your custom, or talk to your rabbi if you feel you can't. Many such customs are described in the other answers here. Works such as the Hassidically-inclined Kitzur Shulchan Aruch have incorporated many such customs, and today we've seen a literary explosion of new books on these topics. If you have no such customs but feel it's right for you to adopt some of them, talk to your rabbi. If you have no such customs and don't want to adopt any, you're fine sticking with A. and B. above.
1) Eating onions or garlic left overnight - there are ways around this, and some are not stringent about this nowadays
2) There are the various things mentioned in Tzavaas R' Yehudah Hachassid, such as not closing up a window or door, not having two brothers live in the same city, being careful about identical names when considering a shidduch, etc. etc.
3) Drinking water from a stream without checking for leeches
4) The practices mentioned in Yoreh Deah 116 - not putting money in one's mouth, not to eat sweat, and others.
5) The Sefer Shemiras HaGuf V'Hanefesh discusses just about everything on this topic.
There are also things that are only "semi-dangerous" that should be avoided during the 9 days, like certain travel. I have a friend who broke up with a girl he was dating because she went sky-diving during the 9 days. I wonder what category that would have during the rest of the year...
Rabbi David Sedley has two pdf files on his website, where he brings the sources for different dangerous foods in Gemara and Halacha. Scroll down to the bottom of the page. These are from classes given at Midreshet Rachel v'Chaya.
Halachically Speaking Volume 3 Issue 9 (Avoiding Danger) also talks about many things that Torah considers dangerous.
1)There is of course Fish and Meat
2)Milk and Fish according to Sefardim and Minhag Chabad and some other Chassidim
3)Drinking water immediately after eating fish.SH"UT Rabbi Akiva Eiger says that the warning against drinking water shortly after eating fish is even today.It is also brought by the Kaf Ha'haim and the Aruch Ha'shulhan

The 15 Most Unintentionally Hilarious Bootleg Toys
#7. Polystation 3
You could do a whole article on just sad knockoff game consoles, but this one seems to be on another level as it combines the disappointment of a knockoff with the lame graphics of cheap portable with the inability to take it anywhere.
Your new Polystation comes with its most popular game, "Soccer", on a 3" by 4" "Hygh Defunitian" screen. If you want to play a different game, you have to buy a different Polystation (other titles include "Formula 1" and something called "Space Guardian", which likely doesn't really exist).
#6. Transformatrix Optimus Prime
Source: Dollar Store Toy Box
This dandy of a knock off can be found at a number of dollar stores, probably right next to the can labeled "Meat Product." It actually resembles Optimus Prime, at least until you try to transform him, at which point you must remove his head and arms. This makes it less a "transformer" and more "a robot with leprosy".
If you leave the arms and head on, you end up with a nightmare tractor holding a battle ax, which admittedly is kind of awesome.
"Yeah, it only gets about four miles to the gallon. But, by God, the gridlock just melts away."
#5. Toy Story 3 Woody and Buzz Lightyear
At first glance these don't seem that bad, aside from the fact that Buzz is roughly the size of Herve Villechaize. But some failures only become apparent when you see them in action:
For some inexplicable reason, Woody screams "FIRE! FIRE! DROP THE GUN!" complete with machine gun sound effects while his chest lights up like Iron Man. Either he has serious PTSD or a rampaging crystal meth addiction. If this is an indication of the quality of the rest of the bootleg Toy Story line, we might have to take the packaging's advice and "collections them all".
Only for unlimited times.
#4. Superman Returns (with a Dinosaur)
Source: KnockingOff.com
Superman Come Back is probably the best toy ever associated with Superman Returns because it had the good sense to have absolutely nothing to do with the movie and instead put Superman on a goddamn dinosaur.
We'll even forgive that fact that Superman appears to be wearing a "C" on his chest instead of an "S", because they went all out and gave him a mullet and a face that looks like the result of melting Sylvester Stallone's head. But best of all? The tag pointing up the dinosaur's anus inviting the customer to "TRY ME."
#3. Super Hero Batman
Source: DollarStoreToyBox.com
Super-Hero Batman looks like a racist joke in body paint and comes with a light on his chest in case he can't find himself in the dark. He also has a giant bow and arrow, presumably so he can stand in it like Wiley Coyote and launch himself at criminals.
#2. Silverbat and Superbat
Source: BootlegActionFigures.com
At first glance, we're not sure what Batman is doing on a skateboard or why he's gleefully punching his fist through gravel with radio antennae on both sides of his head. The description on the box, however, is incredibly instructive:
It's not just amazing, it's hasa amazing!
We're confused as to what the twice mentioned "non-fall action" could mean, especially since "not falling" isn't an action. Presumably his skateboard has training wheels. We especially like how the toymakers put "edge" in quotation marks, like they're referring to a metaphorical edge. We think the edge represents the line between Batman's need for vengeance and his sense of justice. It's a tortured, tormented line he must ride everyday...on his skateboard.
Silverbat is no less a mystery, although the box assures us that it's battery operated. Batman is wearing a random pile of mismatched clothing, presumably because it's laundry day at Wayne Manor, and it appears from looking at the horse's front legs that all the batteries do is make it kick itself in the face over and over again. Which, again, makes it a toy we'd totally buy.
#1. TMNT Gun
Nothing says "Turtle Power" like filleting your enemies with 200 rounds of searing metal death. Almost as baffling is the fact that the toy boasts a "moving barrel", which you may notice is something a gun should never, ever have.
The fact that the gun isn't turtle colored or green or branded in any way, indicates that this is a gun designed for shooting teenage mutant ninja turtles. Now look at the turtles at the bottom of the box. Specifically, look at the expression on the face of Leonardo, on the far right. "Billy? Why are you pointing that at us? Billy? We can talk about this..."

I was wondering if there's a given gold drop rate formula based on the rarity/hp/level of monsters and if anyone might happen to know what it is.
I can't say I know a particular formula, and I'm sure that an official source would never divulge it, but from what I am noticing it seems that the "gold ceiling" continues to get higher as you progress in difficulty.
For example, in Act I - Normal difficulty you may never see a gold drop higher than 60 gold or so, and they can be as low as 1 gold.
In Act I - Nightmare difficulty, I have seen gold drops as high as 300 gold in just the first half of the act, but have also still seen gold drops in the single digits.
My theory, is that the range expands to include higher potential values, but it is random anywhere within that range, meaning you can still get 1 gold drops later on but you could just as easily get 1000 gold drops.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln journalism professor Joe Starita spoke March 16 at the native American night at the MRB Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center.
Starita is author of the Chief Standing Bear story "I Am A Man," which depicts the chief and the Ponca's people deportation from their homeland in northern Nebraska to the Indian Territory later known as Oklahoma.
He said the Ponca had lived over 200 years in the region where the Niobrara and Missouri rivers meet and the the land had become an inseparable part of their culture.
The Ponca "sunk very deep and vibrant cultural tap root into the soil of the Niobrara River valley and it began to define them," he said.
He said the Ponca had signed two treaties with the United States, confirming their legal right to the land.
By 1879, the United States had signed 371 treaties with the native people, but violated them all.
When asked "where are your lands? The Lakota Sioux Chief Crazy Horse answered, "my lands are where my fathers are buried," Starita said.
"Ponca culture was interwoven to the land and it was their religion. Their religion was their way of life. The two were inseparable," he said.
In 1877, the 750 people of the tribe were ordered to take a 55-day, 550-mile march in the snow, rain and heat to the Indian Territory.
Many died on the trip and a third died from malaria within a year of arriving. Standing Bear's only son died at the age of 16.
The chief promised to bury his son in the native land and left the reservation without government permission.
Starita's novel depicts the Ponca life, the exodus from the land, Chief Standing Bear's attempt to bury his son and a historical moment when the first Native American sat at the plaintiff's table in a U.S. court.

When you install a tub, you try to build the surround such that water can't get through to the wall. That's great.
Nothing is perfect, and eventually small amounts of water will seep through. Then the water will be trapped in the wall or floor, and have a hard time getting out.
Is there a way to install a tub so it can dry out behind & underneath?

Legal Textbooks students will inevitably study Constitutional Law, and in doing so need to obtain Constitutional Law textbooks. But students of Constitutional Law often spend far too much money every semester purchasing Constitutional Law textbooks. Constitutional Law books can be very expensive when you buy new textbooks, while a rented textbook can be half the price or less. For example, a rental copy of either The Constitution & Its Amendments, 3, Constitution and Its Amendmen, Volume 4 (Constitution & Its Amendments), or Major Acts of Congress ( 3-Volume Set ) can be 75% less than what you might pay in a college bookstore.
Textbook rentals are easy (and even cheaper than buying used textbooks! And there are a number of ways to find the rentals themselves. If you wanted to rent Government and the Citizen: The Citizen's Means of Redress (Aspects of Britain), the best way would be to find the ISBN number (in this case, ISBN9780028648569) from your Constitutional Law class guide and search for it on BookRenter.com. Whether you're studying Civil Rights, Discrimination, or any other subject within Constitutional Law, renting textbooks is the way to go.
Since launching the first textbook rental site in 2006, BookRenter has never wavered from our mission to make education more affordable for all students. Every day, we focus on delivering students the best prices, the most flexible options, and the best service on earth. On March 13, 2012 BookRenter.com, Inc. formally changed its name to Rafter, Inc. We are still the same company and the same people, only our corporate name has changed.

Just a few comments:
- not sure what sort of alternative memory approach is being considered. The current approach was selected for two reasons:
- If something like anonymous memory is being used, one can only inherit access to the shared files, so one process needs
set up the shared memory regions, and then fork() the procs that will use it. This usually implies that to do this portably,
this needs to happen inside of MPI_Init(), so up to that stage only one process runs on each host. Also, unrelated procs can't
access this memory – can't use this in the context of Fault Tolerance.
- The approach used here is very efficient for small systems, so alternatives should be added to what is in place here, so we
don't loose the performance potential on small SMP's, which still describes the vast majority of systems.
I concur - however, note that the segv occurred on a 4ppn system, which I think we would all agree constitutes a small SMP. I believe that the alternative memory approach needs to be a separate component, but I also believe that we need to modify the existing component so it doesn't segv if adequate memory isn't found.
Just my $.002

6 Iconic Scenes Ripped Off From Lesser-Known Movies
Some movie scenes are more famous than the movies they come from -- did you know, for example, that there's a whole film of Dustin Hoffman crossing streets with a dude dressed like a cowboy? However, it turns out that the most iconic scenes in some classic films (or even in the entire careers of the guys who directed them) are totally lifted from other movies you probably haven't seen. Like ...
#6. Pulp Fiction -- Sam Jackson's "Bible Quote" Is from a Sonny Chiba Film
Tarantino movie plots are usually like his soundtracks: an eclectic selection of scenes from older movies (usually from the '70s) and put in a different order. However, if there's one thing that's 100 percent original about his films, that's his dialogue -- that combination of profanity, Seinfeldesque observations and intricately worded threats of violence sort of makes all the cinematic thievery OK, because no one but Tarantino could write that shit. As Tarantino's biggest fan once put it, "There's a poetic quality to my dialogue."
"'Shit' rhymes with 'tits.' See? I'm a poemer."
And easily one of the most famous lines of dialogue in a Tarantino movie ever is the scene at the beginning of Pulp Fiction where Sam Jackson delivers a menacing recitation of a made-up Bible passage (a combination of the real Ezekiel 25:17 and Psalm 23) right before killing a guy who in all likelihood would have died anyway a few seconds later out of sheer terror.
"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Yes, I am going to recite all this."
Who Did It First:
As Tarantino himself admits in the very same interview where he says his dialogue is like poetry, the whole monologue is lifted almost word-for-word from the intro for a 1976 Sonny Chiba movie, The Bodyguard. Check it out:
Holy shit, it's the exact same speech Sam Jackson said, except they replaced "the Lord" with Sonny Chiba's name in the movie (fair enough). Although it's conveyed through a Star Wars-like text crawl instead of a Jacksonian shout, the menacing inflection of the guy reading the text is pretty much the same.
Whoever wrote that tagline poets the balls out of Tarantino.
This intro is only present in the English version of the film, which is the one Tarantino saw. Presumably he also saw the '80s TV series Shadow Warriors, where Sonny Chiba's character has a habit of lecturing his enemies about good and evil before killing them, just like Sam Jackson's hit man character in Pulp Fiction.
So the question is: Why didn't Tarantino just cast Sonny Chiba? He actually did ... in Kill Bill, as sword-maker Hattori Hanzo.
Who had grown up and decided sushi was much cooler than killing people.
#5. Star Wars: A New Hope -- The Final Scene Is from a Nazi Propaganda Film
As far as gleefully triumphant movie endings go, you're not going to do a lot better than the last scene from the first Star Wars. Not only do they get a medal, but Luke and Han also get a steamy look from a hot girl who totally isn't the long-lost sister of one of them.
What good is the Force if it doesn't warn you about these things?
In fact, this is the only Star Wars film that gets a perfectly happy ending (Leia's whole world was blown up at one point, but she seems pretty OK with it by now). It's such an epic and emotional moment that a lot of people use the same song in their weddings. They might not be so eager to do that if they knew the next part, though ...
Who Did It First:
Hitler. Hitler did this one first.
A terrifying glimpse into the future of the Rebel Alliance.
Those are stills from the Nazi propaganda film Triumph of the Will, which, like The Birth of a Nation, is considered to be an important milestone of cinema, despite being pretty racist (it includes some of Hitler's speeches). But hey, at least D.W. Griffith didn't kill 6 million people. Now, we're not saying that Darth Vader is supposed to be Hitler or something like that -- we're pretty sure that's Luke.
Han is a thinner, less morphine-addled Goering, Threepio is Goebbels and R2 is (obviously) Himmler.
Look at the pillars, the position of the soldiers, the podium at the end -- the Star Wars scene is at least inspired by (if not directly lifted from) a film personally commissioned and executive produced by Adolf Hitler. We need to sit down for a moment.
This might also explain why they gave everyone a medal except the brown character.
#4. E.T. -- The Flying Scene Is from an Old Italian Film
The flying scene at the end of E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial is probably the most iconic Spielberg has ever directed -- hell, he even put it on the logo of his company.
Personally, we would've gone with Quint being swallowed by Jaws.
In the scene, Elliott and his friends hop onto their bicycles to help E.T. escape from government agents armed with guns/walkie-talkies, but soon they find themselves cornered. E.T. then uses his alien magic to raise the kids into the sky, bikes and all, and we see them flying off into the sunset as the classic John Williams theme plays.
Afterward, the group lands in the woods, where they say goodbye to E.T. forever, provided the terrifying planned sequel doesn't happen.
OK, let's all take a moment to collect ourselves before moving on.
Who Did It First:
A 1951 Italian movie by Vittorio De Sica, Miracle in Milan, ends with a pretty similar moment: The characters find themselves cornered by the authorities, and then one of them uses magic to lift everyone off and escape (in this case, with broomsticks). Compare:
The only difference is that E.T. has fewer people holding their boners.
No, we didn't just pick out some random other movie where people happened to be flying -- Miracle in Milan is one of Spielberg's favorite films. The movie is about a guy who is given a magic dove by a ghost and uses it to grant the wishes of his friends at the shantytown he lives in. The dove is taken away by angels, and then oil is found in the shantytown, causing the protagonist and his friends to be kicked out by greedy capitalists. But other than all of that, it's exactly like E.T.
Another difference is that in Miracle the flying characters never touch down to offer heartfelt goodbyes to their magic friend -- they just keep flying off into the sky, like E.T. himself, except without the protection of an alien spaceship.
These people all froze to death, is our point.
But when it comes to the specific moment of flying off into the sky, the only major difference is bicycles -- and coincidentally, De Sica's previous and best known film was all about bicycles.

ALLIANCE, OH (December 8, 2012) -- The Mary Hardin-Baylor football team's season came to an end with a 48-35 loss to Mount Union in the NCAA division three national semifinals Saturday.
The Cru took a 28-14 lead over No. 1 Mount Union at halftime, but the Raiders scored twice in less than a minute to begin the fourth quarter to tie the game at 28.
The 28-14 deficit was the first time Mount Union trailed at halftime, outside of the Stagg Bowl, since 2005.
The Cru forced five turnovers on the day and forced a fumble midway through the fourth quarter that led to a go-ahead touchdown that made it 35-28 with six minutes to play.
After the Raiders tied it with 3:42 to play, UMHB was forced to punt after a three-and-out. Mount Union then marched downfield and scored with five seconds to play to take a 42-35 lead.
On the final play of the game, UMHB turned it over on a lateral attempt and it was returned for a touchdown as time expired.
This will be Mount Union's eighth straight appearance in the Stagg Bowl.
UMHB ends the season 13-1.

The 10 Worst Fictional Products in Pop Culture History
#5. Blue Milk (Star Wars)
A long time ago on a dairy farm far, far away, the backwoods residents of Tatooine consumed this azure-tinted beverage. Even Luke Skywalker, future Jedi and hero of the Rebel Alliance, was a slave to blue milk, downing plastic tumbler after plastic tumbler of the stuff on his aunt and uncle's farm after a hard day of repairing moisture vaporators.
What's Wrong With It?
The Empire may have found its way to the deserts of Luke's remote home planet, but apparently the Food and Drug Administration didn't. According to the official Star Wars Databank, blue milk is extracted from the tits of a bantha. For those who didn't major in intergalactic zoology, you might recognize banthas as the hairy, yak-like beasts of burden used by Tatooine's ill-tempered (and seemingly unhealthy) Sand People. As the primary source of drink in Tatooine's global desert, blue milk explains why so many of the planet's inhabitants are driven to boozing their credits away at various Mos Eisley cantinas.
#4. Anything by the Acme Company (Looney Tunes)
If the Looney Tunes universe were contemporary Midwestern America, the ACME Corp. would be Wal-Mart. Virtually every product used by Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd and the rest of the two-dimensional consumers of Toon Town (Anti-Nightmare Machines, Do-It-Yourself Tornado Kits, etc.) comes from the ubiquitous ultra-conglomerate that rules over the Warner Bros.' economy with an iron fist.
What's Wrong With It?
Like the anonymous evil power company in Erin Brockovich, the ACME Corp. is an irresponsible manufacturer behind faulty products responsible for numerous injuries to its customers--specifically the gullible bird hunter Wile E. Coyote. Taking advantage of the carnivore's greed and desire for an unattainable, lightning-fast goal, ACME sells the starving Wile faulty product after faulty product, compounding their already hazardous policy of strapping a high-powered rocket to virtually every mode of transportation known to man.
#3. Foot-Powered Automobile (The Flintstones)
At first glance, these early automobiles probably seemed like a worthy investment to any modern, family man of the Bedrock community. While these cars may not be able to support a giant Brontosaurus rib, they seem to be adequate at supporting and transporting a family of three and their purple, shrieking dinosaur, which is more than we can say for most modern Honda Civics. Also, unlike the cars we drive today, the Flintstones car had a very simple design; if something went wrong, you could generally tell what it was at an immediate glance (wheel fell off, crushed by giant dinosaur, lack of transmission fluid, etc).
What's Wrong With It?
The loose-fitting, hole-ridden top makes this car totally useless in any weather conditions that aren't perfect. And, the total absence of a windshield makes the potential of swallowing giant, prehistoric bugs much more likely than anyone wants to admit. Also, we buy cars today so we don't have to walk and so we can get to our destination faster. In Bedrock, transportation via car is subject to the same speed and endurance limitations of the driver when he's on foot. Actually, given the fact that you have to lug around an enormous stone car with you when you travel, "driving" one of these cars is actually more work than walking on foot. Let's not forget that a flat tire today means you get a new tire and a flat tire in Bedrock means you probably have to amputate your foot.
Furthermore, the floorless nature of these cars makes accidentally dropping your baby about a billion times more dangerous than it already is.
#2. The Three-in-One Bagpipe/Flamethrower/Machine Gun (The World is Not Enough)
The Bond universe is loaded with devices that seem boner-inducingly awesome when Q describes them. It's really amazing how adding "Oh, also it shoots shark bombs" can turn even the most boring pen or watch or cigarette lighter into Product of the Year. Really, The Sharper Image doesn't need to come out with a new product for the rest of time; they can just equip all of their preexisting products with ray gun or grappling hook capabilities and watch the profits roll in. The bagpipe that isn't just an ordinary bagpipe introduced by Q in The World is Not Enough goes the extra mile by shooting flames and machine gun bullets, making it seem like the perfect gift for anyone who's been ridiculed for carrying bagpipes (as statistics show, anyone who's ever carried bagpipes).
What's Wrong With It?
The idea behind it is deceit, as in, fooling your enemies to think it's just an ordinary set of bagpipes. The problem is, why the fuck are you carrying around bagpipes in the first place? If secrecy is the name of the game, you won't fool anyone by carrying around something as pointless as bagpipes unless your target enemy's base of operations is in the center of the St. Patrick's Day Parade. Given the unlikelihood of that particular scenario, the Bagpipe Destruction Trifecta is absolutely useless everywhere else.
"Don't worry Renard, as you can see, I'm completely unarmed. No guns, no knives, just my lucky set of regular, old, incredibly heavy bagpipes that smell suspiciously like lighter fluid. No reason to keep your guns trained on me or anything, I'm just gonna play a quick song or two."
Also, at this point in Bond's career, every single henchman must have known that anything he carried could probably explode or fire bullets or fill up gaping plot holes at the touch of a button. For Christ's sake, Bond has been known to hide a machine gun in the full-sized mannequin of a sleeping Mexican. There's no way he's getting past an evil bad guy security check with a set of bagpipes.
"Look, I don't even know what the hell those are, Bond, but you're not getting in here with them and that's final. They're clearly designed to explode or drill a hole in the floor or make me shit my pants or something, so just put them down."
#1. Paulie's Robot (Rocky IV)
Given to Paulie as a gift, the robot in Rocky IV splits it's time between being genuinely terrifying and fawning over Paulie. At first, the robot sounds like a Speak and Spell and looks like a vacuum. But Paulie (who was apparently taking extremely advanced electrical engineering classes in between shifts at the meat factory), somehow manages to change its voice and bestow it with the capacity for love. Shortly after learning how to love, the robot teaches itself to nag and proceeds to bother Paulie about his poor hygiene and excessive tobacco usage.
Pay attention to the thick, almost suffocating sexual tension between Paulie and the robot. Note the robot's sincerity when it says "You're the greatest." Look at the tenderness in his eyes when Paulie says simply, "She loves me."
They're totally fucking.
What's Wrong With It?
On the surface, there's nothing wrong with robotic sex slaves. It can be argued that the siren call of sex-bots has been the main driver of technology ever since Blade Runner (after all, the sun-deprived lab rat who made this didn't do it because he thought it'd get him laid by a human.).
But robotic sex slaves would only be useful in so far as they reduce the baggage that comes with an actual sexual relationship. Paulie's robot nags and worries just like an ordinary wife, with the added social stigma that comes with having a sexual relationship with something that looks like a trashcan. Pay close attention to the look the driver gives Paulie when he jokes that he's going to get the robots "wires tied" when he gets back.
This is the face of true disgust.
As an aside: The "wires tied" joke is baffling on a number of levels. While something about getting her voice box taken out would seem more appropriate here, Paulie instead uses a play on words that would seem to imply that he's going to prevent his robot from reproducing sexually. This raises a Phillip K Dick novel's worth of questions, none of which should be implied by a throw away line in a PG-rated movie about a boxer ending the Cold War.

As Advertised By Dynamical Models...Debby Is Moving Faster Toward
The East-Northeast And The Initial Motion Estimate Is 070/05.

Awesome series and a great deal.
On a related note, it's bizarre watching Stargate: SG-1 where Richard Dean Anderson's character is technologically challenged after watching so much MacGyver.
Me: "That's awesome, but I don't have a DVD Player"
MacGyver: "I got this, get me a box, a flashlight, a magnifying glass, a small thread spindle... (and so on)... and Finally some AA bateries"
30 Minutes later
@kainis: and with short hair. My kids saw SG-1 first and when I showed MacGyver to them, they didn't believe it was the same person.
I have my 6 and 7 year old ADDICTED to MacGyver!! We have a channel that plays it ALL day Monday, and they get excited about "MacGyver Monday!" lol
Thanks for sharing this steal! I'm in for one... I loved MacGyver as a kid and I can't wait to share it with my own little monkeys!
Just as a heads up for anyone with Netflix - the entire series is currently available there on instant

Yes, it's possible by defining the class of the bar, and making that class include an image. Easiest done if you implement sass css styling.

3 Questions from the Community
If you're looking at the tub in a bird's eye view facing the tub, The Jacuzzi SGS6042 BCX XXX drain is at the 6 o'clock position. It will be closer to the skirted side.

Project RamRodder Rollcage Install - RamRodder, Part XIIWritten by on June 1, 2011 A rollcage for more than just looks
When we began Project RamRodder the intention was to build a gasser for the street that we could also bracket race from time to time--in other words from the outset it was obvious some concessions in the car's design would have to be made. We turned down the boost on the Weiand-huffed Hemi to make it docile around town and chose a Gearstar overdrive automatic so it could be driven on the highway. The straight axle up front and the ladder bars in the rear aren't the ideal combination for corner carving or ride quality but they are necessary for the attitude the Plymouth just had to have. Something else we knew we would include was a rollbar, both for the look we were after as well as the protection it would provide.
While most race sanctioning bodies have similar rollbar requirements, anyone thinking of running their car at the drags, Bonneville, or on a road course should check with the sponsoring organization for specific requirements. In our case we were going to install a simple rollbar adequate to meet NHRA's requirements for the speeds and e.t. we expected this car would achieve, but after looking through the Art Morrison Enterprises catalog we changed our plan.
Art Morrison offers a variety of rollbars and 'cages all in kit form. We originally planned on using either a four- or eight-point rollbar (points refer to the number of attachments to the chassis) made from 1-3/4 inch, 0.134-inch wall steel tubing but opted to go for a full 10-point 'cage made of 1-5/8 inch, 0.134 inch wall tubing. While it's certainly overkill, we felt this design would add to the strength in part for the chassis.
Ordering any of Art Morrison's rollbars or 'cages is simply a matter of filling out a form that asks for all the pertinent measurements. Art Morrison's engineer then turns out a CAD blueprint that is then fed into a computer-guided mandrel bender--not long after a pre-cut kit will arrive at your door.
Although all the necessary bends are made, the various lengths of tubing will have to be cut to the proper length and where necessary the ends have to be notched. The most effective way to do that is with a tubing notcher, ours came from Speedway Motors.
Building a rollbar from Art Morrison's kit is simple enough, the trick is to measure carefully and tack-weld all the pieces in place before making them permanent. Also keep in mind that every sanctioning body we're aware of wants to see the welds, so no grinding or filling is allowed.
While a rollbar (or 'cage) isn't something most of us think of as a necessity, in reality for many street rods they make sense--for fiberglass cars, anything without a roof, or with enough horsepower to get your attention they can add structural integrity and they may even prevent injuries to someone you care for when the unexpected happens.

The selection of tubing leaning against our project RamRodder is actually a pre-cut and formed rollcage kit from Art Morrison Enterprises. CAD designed, it was bent and cut to the dimensions we supplied on Art Morrison's spec sheet.Rollbars are a good idea in any street rod. This coupe uses a single hoop—for support braces below the package tray running back to the framerails would be advisable.The rollbar adds an aggressive element to this roadster—and from a safety standpoint the benefits are obvious as well.Art Morrison's rollcage kits have all the right bends in all the right places, but the tubes are cut long so some trimming is required. Our first step was to measure for the hoop behind the seats.Art Morrison rollbar and 'cage kits are designed for specific applications using CAD technology, while the tubing is precision mandrel-formed on Art Morrison's sophisticated bending equipment.The four-point rollbar kit is made from 1-3/4x0.134-inch steel tubing and is designed for weld-in installations. This kit can be bent to retain a stock rear seat, if desired, however this particular configuration is not NHRA "legal" (eight-point 'bar required).For seriously fast cars, Art Morrison offers this engineered eight-point 'cage. It's available in mandrel-bent 1-5/8x0.134-inch wall mild steel tubing or in 4130 chromoly (1-5/8x0.083 inch) for those applications where weight considerations are of primary importance. We chose this 'cage not because our RamRodder will be fast enough to require it, but for the chassis rigidity it would add.To fit inside our Plymouth's confines, the legs of the main hoop were shortened 4 inches. This is definitely a case of measuring twice and cutting once.
A couple of C-clamps and some scrap tubing were used to secure the hoop to the frame—an angle finder told us the legs were 90 degrees to the 'rails.Next came the forward tubes that attach to the top of the hoop and tie into the frame. These were simple as the frame ends were cut square, however notches were required where the supports join the hoop.To fit the ends of the tubes we used a Speedway Motors tubing notcher in our drill press. These straight cuts were simply a matter of making sure the centerline of the notch were 90 degrees to the tube.With the forward tubes tacked in place the header tube was cut and put in place. All our measurements were taken at the narrowest point between the tubes being connected—that gave us the location of the deepest point of the notch and the tubing was cut accordingly.An additional tube in front of the dashboard ties the rollbar braces together. This will also serve to mount the steering column.The goal is to make the notches fit the tubes as tight as possible as it will make welding easier and produce the strongest joint.One of our goals was to use the 'cage to strengthen the stock Plymouth chassis. To that end we added an additional crossmember and it to the rollbar brace with diagonal tubes.For a novice this is where things get tricky, cutting tubes at an angle. While it's overkill for this car, we decided to add diagonal door bars.
Another challenge was running the forward brace through the firewall and attaching it to the frame stub at an angle. We used a string to determine the length of the tube.With the tube cut to length the end that attached to the frame was cut at an angle—that was determined by how much clearance was necessary to allow the removal of the valve covers.Once the first firewall tube was in place it was simply a matter of duplicating the angles on the other side.

Rodgers' interview was good. He got choked up talking about the reception he got when he came back on the field. As Wilde said, (and I paraphrase): thanks for making the show happen; you didn't have to do this, and everybody would have understood.
Class act.Hide replies
Rodgers will get paid around $750,000 per week whether he's playing or not. Meanwhile hundreds of thousands of Americans are going to work today in spite of their injuries and aches & pains simply so they can pay their bills and put food on the table.
Don't want to minimalize Rodgers' injury, but I have to wonder how many of these professional athletes would play through their injuries if it meant them being paid or not.
I doubt that most people going to work today are in danger of being hurled to the ground by a 300 pound lineman.
I think he's trying to say that most people get up in the morning with pain and would just rather roll over and go back to sleep, instead they get up, deal with the pain and go to work.
Rodgers might be in pain but he's not paid like a king to play through it, even in circumstances like these. He plays one damn day a week, if he gets hurt again -- well then so be it, it wasn't meant to be. But if the guy is healthy enough to run to and from the field and stand on the sideline with no sling and (didn't look like he was in much pain standing there), Brett Favre wouldn't sit that's all I know.
Yes Favre would have sat! No one is saying he wasn't a tough SOB but there is such a thing as being just plain stupid. The chance of losing him for the season is not worth the risk. I know Favre played with the broken finger but there was no chance of further injury in that case. Favre himself admitted that there were a couple times when he lucked out and got a by e week or he would not have been able to go. Any one who says Favre would have played through it is just to stupid to be believed!
McCarthy can scheme so that Rodgers is kept safe. It has been done for important injured QB's for decades.
Unless Rodgers returns in a couple weeks, the season is lost.
propacky and shivas-
what ridiculously dumb and ignorant things to say.
eddie and bob-
quite the opposite.
Shivas, there is no way you would go to work with a fractured collarbone and be as effective. That is basically what is happening here. And you would especially not go to work if you job put you at risk to injure yourself further. Your employer would be crazy to allow you to work. The Packers are not letting Rodgers play because he could injure himself even further, putting the entire team and season in jeopardy. This is the best decision like it or not. And Rodgers has no say in whether he plays or not this week. That is up to the doctors.
Yawn. Pain and a broken bone are two different things. Dumb and ignorant? Consider the source.
I know, right? Pro football is an easy living. Ask Nick Collins. JMike. Earl Campbell. Dick Butkus. Jim McMahon. Ad infinitum.
These guys get paid well, but not for long. They do things on the field that at my physical peak (many years ago) I couldn't even dream about. If I had ever played one play in the NFL I would not be alive to comment on here.
Are they heroes? Heck no. But you don't get to the NFL unless you are incredibly talented and work incredibly hard.
Shivas, Rodgers said he wanted to come back in the game last night. The decision of whether he plays or not isn't on him deciding to play through injury or not. The Packers won't play him until he is healthy.
Eddie has it right. NFL is elite. Bigger, tougher, faster than most could imagine. Nothing easy about it. It is brutal.
Pro football is well-paid and easy compared to the guy rucking a SAW through the Afghan mountains on bleeding feet. Read "The Outpost".
Lot of respect for the man in uniform and his toughness but the NFL is tougher than that.
Gravy, good point, and I am sure Aaron would be the first to acknowledge that. There is a reason he showed up. He is a class act and honors his commitments if he can. I think the point Wilde was making is that there are plenty of uncommitted pro athletes out there that may not have shown up. He was appreciative that Rodgers was not one of them.
As for Rodgers playing, I am sure he would have played through the pain if he wasn't at risk of being lost for the season. As others have said, the decision was probably taken away from him by the medical staff and McCarthy so the point is moot. If the decision was his, it would have been stupid to re-enter the game and take the risk.
PROPACKY -- really? Favre wouldn't sit? Ha! Must be you've already forgotten the sterno-clavicle sprain from a hit by Alfred Moats in 2010 that forced him out of the Buffalo game. That's "clavicle" as in "collarbone". Bromance can make you stupid ... .
Where's McGinns byline? I warned him he was mess'in with the gods when he wrote that article on Wallace the other day. Who says superstition is dead? I told McGinn if anything happened to Rodgers, he'd be tarred and feathered and exiled to Minnesota.Hide replies
bama, you need to put a disclaimer in there, some may think you are serious and really believe that. There are those out there with no sense of humor, or no sense at all. :-)
I dont care if seneca wallace had a week to practice or not. His record as a starter is completely abysmal, his stats suck, and he can hardly throw the ball more than 10 yards. There should have been 2 pick 6's last night and that play he missed Nelson wide open, and that play where he missed an open Quarless in the end zone pretty much sum him up. I understand injuries can happen, but out of the 300 million people in the United States of AMerica I am sure there is at least 1 option far more viable than Wallace. He is still living off of 2 good games he had like 10 years ago, and the last start he won was in 2010. Dont doubt he is a great person, and he has made quite a career out of being a backup, but seriously.... I am usually on board with THompson's conservative nature, but there is no way you can say this guy is better than VInce young, or even that scrub Graham Harrell for that matter.Hide replies
300 million people, but roughly half of those are females. Now what? You only have 150 million to chose from.
I, for one, am not on board with Thompson's conservative style - but I agree with your take on Wallace.
Wallace sucks.
Well, he's going to get that week and then we'll see, huh? Not a big Wallace fan here either, but look at the difference in Boykin from a cold start to a full practice week.
That said, it's clear the Pack is high on Tolzien. I fully expect if Wallace flops, you'll see Scott in short order. No way are TT and MM going to just let this season go out the window.
If Wallace flops? Did you miss the game Monday night?
Go break your collarbone and be sure to let us know how that works out for you.
Hindsight is 20/20 however, the offensive line has been a problem for a very long time. Favre took too many unnecessary hits and Rodgers has taken a bunch of punishment as well. He is the franchise and needs to be protected. Do you see pretty boy Brady taking hits like that on a weekly basis? No. He sets up shop in the pocket and just passes at will. ARodg would carve defense's more than he already does with that kind of protection. The Bears protect some second string cast-off and make him look like a superstar. Getting tired of hearing how the O-line has improved and "loves" to run block blah blah blah...... Gotta protect Arodg. Period.Hide replies
the o-line has been playing very well this season.
they were 12th in the league in sack percentage before last night.
Too much scrambling, too many hits. All I'm saying is give him a pocket like Brady or Breese ..... or McCown last night and he's unstoppable.
Rodgers can get rid of the ball, he chooses to scramble and also to hang on to the ball to make plays. That's just the way he plays.
Yes and the way he is most effective.
That play was past 6 seconds when he was sacked. 2.5 is considered the "standard" for release time in the NFL; anything beyond that is on the QB. AR extends plays, yes, but that's the risk.
We are very lucky to be talking 3-6 weeks and a non-throwing shoulder. AR has gone down in quite a few ugly heaps right at the knees. Let's count our blessings.
thanks for the compliment, bub.
i may be a clown but i aim to be the best clown.
And even at that you fail. A clown entertains. You simply distract.
Joesph F Chris! The Culture of Wimps continues to grow bigger and bigger everyday in Green Bay.
Ted Thompson had it coming the moment he traded away the toughest of them all, Brett Favre.
Rodgers throws right-handed. Type up that Jean-Claude-Van-Damme LEFT shoulder and PLAY!!!
Wallace sucks! Why isn't Flynn signed yet? Oh, right. Ted Thompson is the mother of incompetence.
Time to start looking ahead toward the draft. The Packers are now guaranteed a top 10 pick, much to Thompson's pleasure.
In the NFL, quarterbacks determine wins and losses. Beginning with the 2008 season, the Packers have always ranked dead last in the league in toughness. Having just a single bona fide QB is not enough.
Draft Johhny Football.Hide replies
Tape up.
Sumptuous, did you stand and cheer Rodgers when he came back out?
Nah, Mushroom, I was too busy throwing F-bombs and Mom-F-bombs at Wallace.
Tim Tebow could've played better than Wallace did last night. Heck, I coulda played better, and I was a shutdown corner who shut down Darren Charles in a game in HS, not a QB.
Wallace sucks. Plain and simple.
With 2 pulled hamstrings?
Jason Wilde twittered that the Packers actually have not yet put Tolzien on the 53 so maybe something is in the works.
So stay tuned for possible word on Flynn, Favre, Tebow, or George.
Yep. On two pulled hammies, plus a broken thump, plus a slightly torn ACL, plus a broken left shoulder.
No way I was gonna let injuries shot down my chance of shutting down the best HS wide receiver in the state of Wisconsin in 2002, Darren Charles.
Favre would've played the following week with Rodgers' current injury. No doubt.
what a tool you are, TED.
i tackled jim brown once with one arm tied behind my back as i fought off lou groza.
and both of my shoes were untied.
The last part of your post I believe and explains why your mother went to velcro this year. Tackled someone? Packer blood sounds like the kind of guy who struggles to put his pants on.
TED you are so humble. You did not even tell them how your father had just died, your brother was diagnosed with cancer and your house went up in flames the night before the game. Your feat was truly remarkable. I watched the game on ESPN.
btw, Mushroom, George? Jeff George? Jeff George, at his current age, would've played better than Wallace did last night.
Alas, now I know how Packer Blood feels. You know, to have witness godawful QBs play in person for the Packers. I am sure Blood still have fond memories of Jerry Tagge.
Wallace sucks.
Favre was a tough son of a gun, no doubt, but speaking in hypotheticals is pointless. There is no way the training staffs in 2013 will allow their starting QB to go back on the field with a fractured collarbone. This is not 1994.
....Tape up......
You go, gurrlll..
Wow, nothing better than rising early, having that first cup of Joe, and a good belly laugh. Thanks for the humor Ted.
Yeah, Favre would have played through it, and then throw 4 picks. Making good decisions on and off the field is not his forte. But he sure is a tough SOB, and I still appreciate everything he was able to accomplish with the Packers.
Nothing like a Bears loss combined with a major injury to bring out the nattering nabobs, whiners, and Bear phags.. err, fans... in droves. It also brings out the couch-bound tough guys who know how to play hard with broken bones, despite never having had one.
Enjoy your little hollow anti-victory and opportunity to vent to the world what sorry little souls you are. I'm going to a) go bass fishing tomorrow morning and b) enjoy watching this team get it together once again. Will Tolzien pull out the bacon (check out what Keenum did the other night, if you don't believe in 3rd stringers)? How fun would that be?
Really, the loss of Lang was just as big last night in some ways, because then we lost the other weapon we had - the run game. The run game went 14-36 once 2-yard Newhouse entered the game proving once again that he's been where he belongs - on the pine.
Tape yourselves up, people. Gawd...Hide replies
This is the NFL in 2013, what do you mean "tape yourself up"? Was Lang supposed to tape his head since he sustained a concussion? Was Rodgers supposed to tape his collarbone? Please try and make some sense.
bob, I believe that tape yourself up was for the whiners and that other name he mentioned and not the injured players.
wow, "get it together once again"? talk about whistling through the graveyard. heck, though, tough for rodgers, tough for the pack. I got my own dern problems.
Leptod, you make good points regarding Lang but you are speaking like Cleetus the slack jawed yokel
Newhouse is horrible.
mvitch, you have started your NFL scouting career off with a 100% correct rating. Although admit it, that wasn't a tough call to come to that conclusion yet we did win with him last year over there, surprising though.
You'll see him in 5 weeks. Even if he is good to go for Lions they know they have 10 days after that game and given the way this team babies injuries they will give him the extra time. Of course there is a good chance they will be 6-6 by then.Hide replies
Ray you are always the optimist. Who will they beat?
Yeah I am a bit surprised Ray. I thoroughly expected you to say 5-7. Earlier you said they can't win with Wallace, so who will they go with to get that one win?
Totally agree.....I see one victory until his return.
If Wallace is still with this team in 2 weeks then that means TT has given up on the season.. They cant win with this guyHide replies
So, do you think TT will say to himself "aw, heck.. AR's down.. guess we'll just pack it in (..yawn..) til 2014"? Personally, I think we'll see Tolzien before AR re-takes the field.
Yawn. Yes he will definitely yawn.
Yes. Yes I do.
you need to get more sleep.
Yawn. You need to get a writer.
As depleted as this team was Monday and losing Rogers, they still should have won this game. Poor coverage in the defensive backfield, poor tackling, and linebackers who didn't cover one of the best backs (Forte) when he slips out of the backfield. Still should have beaten them.
Our defense stunk...period.
There's no telling about Wallace yet, no matter what he looked like last night. Recall when AR went down with the concussion in the Lions game? Flynn came in and looked terrible. The next week, with him getting all the reps, they almost beat NE. We'll see.Hide replies
The troubling thing was the lack of athleticism. His whole game is predicated on that.

The 6 Real and Terrifying Spider Superpowers
#3. Spidersault
Not all spiders laze the day away in a fortress of adhesive webbing, surrounded by the dying screams of mummified insects. Some actually go out and hunt for a living. And while you've got to be fast to catch prey, you've got to be even faster to escape predators.
Enter the golden wheel spider, which has a special defense to escape its erstwhile archnemesis: cartwheels.
Absolutely Wild Visuals
It might not be the most dignified or manly escape method, but it is effective. "Taking advantage of the steep slip-faces of the dunes it lives on, when threatened, the golden wheel spider will curl its legs around its body to make a ball." It will then basically tire roll down the slope to safety.
The damn things can transform. It's a spider with a friggin vehicle mode! The enemies can only shake their fists at the sky while the daredevil spider drunkenly staggers away in victory to puke his guts out.
#2. Blade Fangs
Grasshoppers, beetles and spiders all have something in common: They crunch when you smash them. That's because they're covered in chitin. Insects, arachnids, crustaceans and lots of other creatures have exoskeletons composed of this material -- it's the bug equivalent of bone, only it's on the outside.
Rainer Altenkamp, Berlin
If people had these, we wouldn't need police. Or locks.
To kill its prey, a spider has to get through this armor. And since spiders are composed of the same stuff, their fangs are also made of chitin ... which is a problem. To pierce an object, your blade has to be harder than the substance you're going through. Scientists, wondering how spiders dealt with this quandary, looked at the fangs of the feared Brazilian wandering spider, one of the deadliest arachnids in the world.
Joao P. Burini
The man in this picture is already dead.
Chemical analysis and X-ray detection showed that their fangs have metal atoms dispersed throughout, mainly copper, magnesium, iron and zinc. The metals accumulate each time the spiders molt, meaning that older spiders have harder fangs.
Biometals in bugs isn't new; leafcutter ants have a small percentage of zinc in their mandibles. But amazingly enough, almost no chitin was found in the tips of wandering spider fangs. The points, which have to endure the most stress, were composed almost entirely of metal. They literally have evolved hypodermic needles for fangs. Wandering spiders have metallically reinforced poison-injecting blades built into their faces.
Because plain ol' poison-injecting blades weren't nearly terrifying enough.
#1. Bionic Ninja Legs
In the pantheon of superpowers, one normally doesn't put "super legs" at the top. At first blush, it would seem fairly unlikely that this would ever be useful.
But in reality, spider legs have a number of incredible adaptations. Spiders are designed for crawling, climbing, skittering and all-around creepiness. Jumping, not so much. Leaping about is more the domain of muscular-legged bugs like crickets and grasshoppers. Which is why it's all the more amazing that the spider known as Portia fimbriata can essentially catapult itself at prey.
It can hurl itself up to 50 times its own body length (if you did it, it would be about 300 feet, or the length of a football field). That's farther than most grasshoppers can hop.
Suck it, grasshopper.
This is essentially what it would look like if humans could jump as far as the Portia spider (skip to the 35-second mark). More impressively, this ability doesn't even stem from unusually strong leg muscles. Instead they have hydraulic-powered legs that launch them like pistons. Somehow this much compressed power doesn't blow their little spider legs off, but research has shown that they would be OK if it did. Certain spiders can hunt just as well with six legs as with eight. They've got spares ... which in some species even grow back.
But the most amazing ability found in spider legs goes to the tarantula, which logic would dictate is far too large to do things like walk up a wall.
Incredibly, they have micro spinnerets on the bottom of their feet (not that spiders have feet, but looking up the scientific term for spider stumps sounds too much like work). To walk up walls, they can actually shoot small amounts of webbing out of their feet to stick, which helps them adhere to nearly any surface, including glass. Where most spiders rely on tiny fibers on their hands to gain traction, spiders like the tarantula are busy out-climbing Ethan Hunt.

since I have so many good reviews of the NN rotators I finally ordered an RD8 as a change for my Manfrotto rotator which is by far too heavy.
I received it today from a local dealer and the built and quality are exactly as expected. Great!
But to my great surprise I will need a 6mm screw to mount my panohead on top of the rotator.
While the whole photographic world uses 1/4" and 3/8" screws for mountings I wonder what made you use M6? This causes me now a lot of headaches since there are no off the shelf adapters nor any simple, lightweight and cheap solutions to mount a 3/8" thread to an M6 thread.
Since M6 is not a problem here I am curious how the "anglo" world will solve this issue.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., July 25, 2016 - Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) has named a national research university and a consortium of New Mexico universities to its team competing for the Sandia National Laboratories Management and Operating contract. Purdue University, New Mexico State University and the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology will play key roles in Sandias specialized research and development and technology transfer initiatives. Each university will provide expert personnel and facilities to advance Sandias dynamic research and development programs, which are on the cutting edge of nuclear deterrence, cyber security, energy technologies, non-proliferation and advanced computing. In addition, the new team arrangements will allow students and faculty from the universities to interact more strategically at Sandia to promote collaboration, innovation and talent development. Sandias hallmark is nationwide impact coupled with strong New Mexico roots, and weve built a team that reflects that character while positioning the Labs to meet the needs of a dynamic national security environment, said Rick Ambrose, chair of the Sandia Corporation board of directors and executive vice president of Lockheed Martin Space Systems. Our goal is to help the National Nuclear Security Administration further solidify Sandias role as a national asset by bringing in even stronger R&D partnerships, improving the national security talent pipeline and sparking small business growth through a robust commercialization program.Read Full Story
