Let me give some background information:
I'm a high schooler currently enrolled in one of the most prestigious high schools in the country. In this decade it has won multiple awards for being the best high school in the country, although its quality has declined somewhat. It's especially known for its treatment of highly gifted children.
I am a student who has always had it very easy at school, I'm not a genius, I just grasp stuff quicker than others, and when I grasp it, I usually have a better grasp. Throughout my first 8 years (primary school as it's called here) I literally had nothing to do, so I just did my own thing and my teacher would let me. When I went to high school (which is 6 years, I'm now in my fifth), I expected everything to be tougher. It wasn't. In the mandatory IQ test in my freshman year (as it's called in the US I believe) of high school they found out that I (along with some other students) am intelligent enough to be enrolled into their gifted program. I expected everything to be tougher. It wasn't. The program just allows as to take off 3 hours a week to work on a project, but everyone in the program usually just do nothing and take boring classes off.
It's now the fifth year and I've become crazy of this all. Every lesson my teachers tell me I could be so much better if I wanted to, and my classmates being envious and such. Yesterday was the last straw. I was in my math class and I was sleeping basically (I never make homework for my classes, no exception). The girl next to me (which is #1 in our ordinary math class) asked for my help regarding integrals. I coincidentally knew about integrals and helped her. She called me brilliant, and my teacher heard it. He then came in and said 'He is not'. They (the girl and my teacher) had a 10 minute conversation about me and how I'm not doing anything and how I could have stellar grades if I wanted (I didn't even bother to join the convo). He said this because I'm currently like 5th in my ordinary math class (but #1 in physics, chemistry and further math). This really bothered me. I hate this negativity and I just want to show every teacher who is annoyed by me that I can DO something. So my final question:
How can you reach your full potential, eventhough you're extremely demotivated at the moment? I think a lot of people can relate to this

GENESEO, N.Y. - A panel discussion, art exhibition and keynote address by a distinguished University of Pennsylvania history professor will highlight SUNY Geneseo's "Emancipation at 150" observance during February. President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation Jan. 1, 1863, which freed slaves in states remaining in rebellion during the American Civil War.
A panel of faculty members will discuss "The Meaning of Emancipation" Feb. 1 at 3 p.m. in Newton Hall Room 214. On the panel will be Alice Rutkowski, associate professor of English; Cathy Adams, assistant professor history; Rose Marie Chierici, associate professor and chair of the Department of Anthropology; and Justin Behrend, assistant professor of history.
Also on Feb. 1 will be the opening of "Meditations on Emancipation" art exhibition in the college's Bertha V. B. Lederer Fine Arts Gallery in room 203 of the Brodie Fine Arts Building. The exhibit, which runs through March, will showcase contemporary artists' interpretations of the meaning of emancipation. An opening reception is scheduled for 5 p.m.
On Feb. 21, Steve Hahn, a distinguished professor at the University of Pennsylvania, will deliver the keynote address "Slave Emancipation, Indian Peoples, and the Projects of a New American State." His address begins at 7 p.m. in the MacVittie Union Ballroom. Hahn received the 2004 Pulitzer Prize in history for his book, "A Nation Under Our Feet: Black Political Struggles in the Rural South from Slavery to the Great Migration."

Death of Col. J.L. Chatfield.
The following article appeared in The Waterbury American on Aug. 14, 1863.
Connecticut is again called upon to mourn the loss of another of her gallant sons, whose immortal spirit has gone to join that galaxy of heroes — Lyons, Foote, Mansfield, Winthrop, and others — whose valor has shed luster upon the State of their birth, and whose deeds will form a brilliant page in the history of the present war, forced upon the country by the foulest treason that blackens the page of ancient or modern history.

I'm currently running on a Ruby on Rails app with Authlogic handling my authentication and user management.
I'm struggling to find up to date information on the best way to add 3rd party login methods to my site, supplementing the standard sign up and login. There are a number of tutorials out there, but all seem to be outdated or incomplete. Could I get some recommendations on the best way to add multiple 3rd party login methods to Authlogic?
Authlogic appears to be built from the ground up for this type of thing, but it's very poorly documented, and it's own page seems very outdated on this.
They seem to recommend for Facebook using authlogic_facebook_connect plugin, which in turn relies upon the outdated Facebooker gem, which has been replaced by Facebooker2. Is there a way to use Facebooker2 with Authlogic?
I have also found on Google authlogic_oauth2, which is a more modern plugin that can login using Facebook credentials using OAuth2. Unfortunately, the author states that this plugin cannot be used alongside Authlogic plugins for OAuth (Twitter) and OpenID due to conflicts.
What are the recommended gems or plugins I can use together to allow login to my site via Facebook, Twitter, and OpenID?

6 Famous Movies You Can Walk Around in Right Now
For all the time and money it takes to create movie sets, it's kind of a bummer that most of them are discarded like used condoms as soon as the film blows its wad. But sometimes the production crew apparently shrug their shoulders and say, "Screw it, just leave it there." Thanks to that, you can now fulfill your lifelong dream of walking and/or urinating on such famous movie locales as ...
#6. The Fugitive's Train Crash Site
Warner Bros.
The Fugitive (1993) stars Harrison Ford as a wrongfully convicted surgeon named Richard Kimble who is being transported to death row when the bus he's traveling on crashes and gets hit by Thomas the Plot Engine.
Warner Bros
"Choo CHOO, Richard Kimble!"
Before he can be turned into human hamburger, Kimble manages to free himself, and he goes off to track down the man who murdered his wife. So the train scene is really what sets off the entire movie, and it was so important to the filmmakers that they actually demolished a real rail car and bus to film the sequence, which ultimately amounted to 60 seconds of footage. And then, after 10 weeks of preparation and $1.5 million, everyone packed up and ... left the remains of the horrendous crash by the side of the rails. It's still there:
As a warning to other trains and buses.
The crash was filmed outside of Dillsboro, North Carolina, probably because all other locations gave funny looks to the film crew when they said they wanted to destroy a train and just kinda leave it there, you know? While The Fugitive producers weren't total litterbugs and had one of the engines reused by the local railroad to pull a dining car, they didn't know what to do with the rest and figured a friendly junkyard owner would come by and take it all away. But that never happened, and to this day the crash is still on the side of the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, where it has become something of a minor tourist attraction.
So if you're ever in the neighborhood, be sure to book a train ride that goes right past this rusted-out, depressing reminder of everything that can go wrong with the outdated mode of transportation you're traveling on.
"And to your left, you can see the real reason why railroads are failing."
#5. The Diner from Looper
TriStar Pictures
If you remember one thing about Looper, we hope it's the fact that the entire plot makes no goddamn sense whatsoever. Most likely you remember it for the scene where a creepily altered Joseph Gordon-Levitt talks in a diner with his future self, played by Bruce Willis. That scene was freaking everywhere before the movie came out, and since the filmmakers knew that they'd milk it harder than a genetically modified cow that shoots cocaine out of its udders, they just went ahead and built the full diner set from scratch.
TriStar Pictures
"Guys, people seriously like these hamburgers. Maybe we could just scrap this whole movie nonsense?"
But once again, after the shoot wrapped, the set was abandoned in the middle of nowhere in Louisiana because, honestly, who would notice one more abandoned building in Louisiana? It was eventually brought to the Internet's attention by the detective work of a dedicated fan named Bailee Grissom. She once read an interview with the film's director, Rian Johnson, where he mentioned that he was surprised the diner wasn't wrecked by Hurricane Isaac, so Grissom decided to go on an adventure. A few hours, some Googling, and a series of cryptic Twitter exchanges with Johnson later, she had found what she was looking for:
Bailee Grissom
Two hours after that, she was sued by the producers of National Treasure.
Although the interior had been gutted, Grissom still managed to bring back plenty of pictures, as well as GPS coordinates for anyone who might want to see this little piece of sci-fi history, or perhaps rub against a surface that Willis or Gordon-Levitt might have accidentally sweated on.
Bailee Grissom
You too can lick a part of cinematic history!
#4. Port Royal from Pirates of the Caribbean
Walt Disney Pictures
Pirates of the Caribbean's portrayal of infamous Jamaican pirate town Port Royal was pretty impressive considering that the movie was made after the 17th century. Which is to say that the historical town -- where the first third of The Curse of the Black Pearl takes place -- doesn't exist in real life anymore, having been all but wiped out by centuries of earthquakes. But instead of just shooting on a soundstage or in front of a green screen, Disney actually decided to spend millions recreating colonial-era Port Royal in Wallilabou Bay on the island of St. Vincent.
Walt Disney Pictures
Then they recreated the town's residents all Jurassic Park-style.
However, once filming was done, there was a question of what to do with all these elaborate sets. It was then that Wallilabou Bay volunteered to take over the sets and rake in millions of tourist dollars, because that's just the kind of selfless guys they are.
Wallilabou Anchorage
"And if you've got any extra Keira Knightleys, we can be sure to give them a good home."
Although it's been hit pretty hard by various hurricanes over the years, St. Vincent residents have done an admirable job of maintaining their Port Faux-yal. They even converted one of the sets into a working tavern, where presumably you can get drunk on watered-down rum and tell the bartender that public intoxication laws are more what you'd call guidelines, because he surely hasn't heard that joke a million times before.
Jack Maciaszczyk
"Oh, you said, 'Why is the rum gone?' Just like he did in the movie. Hilarious."
To get the full pirate experience, though, you'll have to get in the water, where you can paddle around the iconic galleys seen in the film and sail up to the dock where Captain Jack proudly arrived atop the wreckage of his sinking ship. Even the mast he stood on is on display, among other props and photos taken during the filming. The whole town is a treasure trove of neat relics from the movie, including fortifications, boardwalks, and an array of fiberglass props that bafflingly turned out to be a bigger tourist draw than the fact that St. Vincent is a bona fide Caribbean paradise full of mesmerizing fauna and flora.
Dominion Enterprises
"Fuck that! Check out these plastic cannons!"

Does one translate a word or phrase into another language or to another language? For example:
- Translate the following phrase to Spanish.
- Translate the following phrase into Spanish.
Does one translate a word or phrase into another language or to another language? For example:
In my experience/dialect, you use translate into when you are talking about the target language, but you can optionally use translate to when you are talking about the target text (the specific equivalent for the piece of original text you're talking about).
For example, all of these are acceptable:
Note that translate to is very commonly used intransitively, e.g.:
However, you can't use translate into intransitively, and you can't translate to a language as a whole. Thus, these are unacceptable:
According to the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, the BBC English dictionary and the OED one translates into another language.
Translate to is used alongside translate into in a sentence like :
and translate to is used when translating something to something :
But google gives hundreds of instances of use of "translate to" another language.
As far as translation is concerned, you translate into another language. You don't translate to it.

I cried last night and the night before,
Goin' away, so I don't cry no more.

Doesn't describe me. I just like it.
Here's one that's closer:
Oh, it's a long, long time
From May to December,
But the days grow short,
When you reach September.
When the autumn winds
Turn the leaves to flame
One hasn't got time
For the mating game.
Oh the days dwindle down
To a precious few
And these few precious days
I'll spend with you
These precious days, I'll spend with you.
[from the September Song, (Maxwell Anderson / Kurt Weill)]
You just call out my name, and you know wherever I am I'll come running
Girl in a T-Shirt
i'm a loser, baby.
@zxzgrifterzxz: The devil you say! Pleased to meet you, too. And it's been a pleasure to meet everyone else. What a motley crue!
Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to.
Won't you look down on me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way
Been walking my mind to an easy time my back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground
Oh, I've seen fire, and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you one more time again.

You'll see him in your head,

And hey buddy, I'm warning
you to turn it off
He's a ghost, he's a god,

I get stuck each time I need to write a constructor for any class I design. The reason is that I am not sure what should go into a constructor and what should not.
On googling for this, I got the answer that the constructor need to do only as much as to make sure that the opbect created is valid. But my query is
How do you know if an object is in the valid state?
My class represents a chess board:
public class ChessBoard
List<ICellRow> lstRow;
int cellOffset;
//Other function
public ChessBoard()
//What should go in here?
How do you decide when a class has the minimum information to be in the valid state? In this specific example, makes the board class valid?

I cut the up a fresh pineapple and wanted to freeze a portion, will it last and retain flavor/consistency? Also: is there anything that can be done with the Core - the hard part in the middle?
I usually cut the pineapple into bite size pieces before freezing them.
I cut it into pieces, put it on a cookie sheet, and put it in the freezer of my refrigerator. When it is solid, I put it in bags (1/4 of the pineapple in each) and vacuum seal it. This goes into my chest freezer to enjoy later. If pineapples are a dollar apiece, it only makes sense to freeze them. The cores do make a great ice cream topping if you dice them finely and cook them down in a simple syrup.
If you cut the pineapple core into smaller pieces (say, something like a dice), then it's usable. Cutting against the grain will shorten the overall fibers, too. Also, I'd be willing to bet that the core pieces could be used for a tasty syrup.
You can use the core and skin (wash the pineapple before you cut it up) to make a great tea - put pieces of skin and core into a medium size sauce pan, add a few slices of fresh ginger, cover with water, simmer an hour and then let sit until it cools. Remove all the solid pieces, pour the liquid into a container. Delicious as a cold drink or heated as a tea - the bromelain in pineapple is a great anti-inflammatory and ginger has beneficial digestive properties.
I suppose pineapple should freeze as well as any other fruit as long as it is done quickly else it might go soft when you defrost it.
If you have a good blender, you can use the whole pineapple (without the skin of course as it is coarse) including the core - it is very healthy as it contains bromelain which helps to block excessive coagulation of the blood, reduce inflammation and can reduce the growth of some tumours (from what I have read, I am no doctor so can't say if it is true or not)
I have also heard the core is the most beneficial as it is the part that contains bromelian. After washing then cutting the leaves & the bottom off, I quarter from top to bottom. I then put through the juicer. My grandkids call them smoothies because they are thick & creamy. No one would guess the skin went right in with it also.

Are there 14 or 15 combination attacks in Phantasy Star IV? What is the most powerful combination attack?
There is a nice summary of combinations on phantasy-star.net, stating 14:
To answer the second part of your question, the most powerful combination is Destruction, as described in this article.
I remember seeing a youtube video with a rare combo involving one of the female characters (I'm pretty sure Alys) running in front of the bosses really fast and slashing them while a spell was going.......I'd never found it when I owned the game. ....I'm pretty sure it was Alys so you couldn't use it later. Like her doing a quick slash with her boomerang weapon. So there is a legitimate 15th combo unless this was like a homebrew hack but it looked legit.

At the risk of giving you a bad steer, I thought the guy was James Spader, but I can't find anything in IMDB of his that sounds right. He's playing a disreputable character, I think he has a couple of lovers who he treats pretty badly, one of whom he sticks a needle into to do her in when she is already too drugged/intoxicated to put up much of a fight.
Again risking a bad steer but I thought the unfortunate girl was Anne Heche, or maybe an Arquette, but looking up their work has turned up no positive ID. I'm pretty certain the girl has cropped blond hair.
I saw this film a long time ago so it is certainly last century; I'd put my money on 1980's but it may be first half of the 90's.

JUNCTION CITY, Kan. (WIBW) -- Members of the Junction City community came out Friday to celebrate the long career of the town's top firefighter.
Fire Chief Mike Steinfort is retiring after 24 years of service.
A ceremony for Steinfort was held at the C.L. Hoover Opera House on Friday, November 2, 2012 as community leaders and fellow firefighters recognized him for his leadership and involvement in the community.
He also received certificates of appreciation from the State Fire Marshal's Office and Governor Sam Brownback for the more than two decades he spent serving and protecting the community.
Steinfort started his fire service career with the Junction City Fire Department in June of 1989 as a firefighter and has advanced through every position in the department .
He accepted the position of Fire Chief in September of 2008.
Under his leadership. the JCFD achieved a reclassified fire suppression rating of 4 to 3 by the Insurance Services Organization. This rating improvement reduced fire insurance costs to city businesses and residents, officials said. Additionally, his department received over an 80% satisfaction rating of fire and ambulance services in a recent citizen survey.
"Testaments to his dedication in providing quality services to the city and its residents throughout his career," said City Manager Jerry Vernon.
"You're only a good leader if you have good people and that's the most important thing that we have in our department is our people. They're the ones that are going out there every day doing the job… I'm very proud to have been the fire chief and a 24-year veteran of the Junction City Fire Department," Steinfort said during the reception held in his honor.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (WIBW) -- Manhattan officials say a local company is changing the skyline of the Little Apple as it continues to grow.
CivicPlus broke ground Wednesday on a new five-story, $9 million building at the southwest corner of Fourth and Pierre Streets in downtown Manhattan. The first floor will be used for a restaurant and retail space while the company will occupy the remaining four floors.
The company develops government websites in the U.S., Canada and Australia.
City leaders say CivicPlus is helping boost the local economy, create jobs and attract other businesses to the downtown area.
The company employs 128 people out of its Manhattan headquarters, with goals of increasing that to more than 250 within 10 years.
Ward Morgan, CivicPlus CEO, said: "It's probably a testament to the staff more than anything that have made CivicPlus a reality. Our customers- we have over 1300 cities and counties across US that are using CivicPlus websites and that continues to grow. We had add a new client about every other day at this point."
The new building will be constructed on the plot where Manhattan Appliance and Sleep Source was located. Manhattan Appliance and Sleep Source relocated to the Westloop Shopping Center.
Founded in 2001, CivicPlus was selected by Inc. Magazine as "One of the Fastest-Growing Privately Held Companies in the U.S." in 2011 and 2012.

I thought pronouns were not capitalized except in the case of the formal "Sie". Are all pronouns capitalized, it's only the formal "Sie", or are none capitalized?

Pronouns are not capitalized in German. The only exception from this rule is the formal "Sie" as you suspected.
According to the "Old German Orthography" you also had to capitalize "du" when referring to the second person singular in letters. The new rule is that you can capitalize it or not – but only in letters or other correspondence like emails.
Also, if you're using pronouns as nouns you'll have to capizalize them (see Amtliche Rechtschreibung (2006) § 57.3. Examples:
While the first answer is right, this was a fairly recent change in the spelling reform. A lot of Germans still capitalize "Du" or "Euch" in letters or fliers for example. A lot of people have issues letting go of capitalizing these words as it was considered polite to do so.

Your Academic Adviser
Since your program choice should be connected to your academic interests and four-year plan, you should start by talking with your academic adviser. Your adviser can help you decide whether studying off campus would be beneficial and may have suggestions about subjects you may wish to deepen and enhance. Advisers want to know which programs attract you and may also offer suggestions. If you have not declared, you should also seek advice from a professor within your intended major department about program choice and the best semester to participate.
Campus Program Advisers
A Program Adviser is assigned to every off-campus study program featured by Grinnell College. These advisers are very familiar with the programs they represent and can provide you with detailed program information as well as answering any questions you may have. A list of Program Advisers is provided in GrinnellShare. Program Advisers can also be found in the program database.
Directors of Off-Campus Study
The Directors of Off-Campus Study are available to help you choose a program.

What Scares Us Now: The Horror Movie Boom
How filmmakers are reinventing the genre and reaping huge profits
"The Conjuring," a surprise hit this summer, is an old-fashioned demon-in-the-house story, almost charming compared with the grisly torture films of the recent past. There is a terrifying antique doll, hovering ghost-hands that clap, and self-slamming doors, but nary a meat hook in sight, or even much blood. Its R-rating is just for being scary.
Which isn't to say movie gore is dead. In this year's "Evil Dead," a remake of the 1981 cabin-in-the-woods film, one woman bisects her tongue with a blade, another saws off her arm with an electric carving knife.
Somewhere in between on the carnage meter is the just-released "Carrie," director Kimberly Peirce's remake of the 1976 Brian De Palma classic, adapted from the Stephen King novel. This year also brought "Mama," about two little girls raised in an isolated cabin by a malevolent mommy-ghoul. "The Purge" and "You're Next" slyly take on home-invasion attacks. "Insidious: Chapter 2" continues the disturbing tale of a family that can't shake unexplained household horrors no matter where they move.
Almost any way you slice it, horror is surging. On television, AMC's "The Walking Dead" broke several records when it premiered to 16.1 million viewers in its fourth season this fall. FX's "American Horror Story" continues to build.
Low-budget movies and their sequels which used to look cheesy are now more realistic—and profitable. In a year when big-budget films have crashed noisily, "The Conjuring" was made for only $20 million and grossed more than $300 million world-wide. "Insidious: Chapter 2," made for about $5 million, has grossed $81 million in North America. It had more ticket revenue than any other movie in September.
Horror films so far this year have taken in $495.7 million at the box office, 52% more than at the same point last year. That comes after 2012 was 21% higher than 2011, according to media measurement firm Rentrak.
Amid the remakes and revivals, horror filmmakers are confronted with a question: What's scary now? After years of films exploring dismemberment, torture, and human centipedes, what can still shock audiences? Horror is about fear of the unknown, and audiences have learned the language of horror cinema almost too well. We know what's coming when city folk arrive in a backwoods town. We've seen the fleeting shadows on walls, the ghastly face that flashes in the medicine-cabinet mirror and all the other shockers punctuated by screeching bursts of sound, known as "jump scares"—like the hand that reaches from the grave in the original "Carrie." The audience jumps.
"It's like a bad joke that's been around too long. You don't want to be the one to tell it," says Wes Craven, the director-writer behind the "Nightmare on Elm Street" series among others. "Like the guy who goes to a dark door, and then turns his back to it and calls out somebody's name. And you wait three seconds, and you know the jump is coming through the door. You can't do that. But you can do that if you don't have the jump at the door, and they go into another room and sit down, and the chair falls through the floor into hell."
Filmmakers agree that what makes movies like "The Conjuring," "Insidious" and "Carrie" frightening aren't the jumps or gross-outs. It's our attachment to the characters, our vicarious fear of what's happening to them.
"I mean, look, hanging people from meat hooks is scary," says Ms. Peirce, the "Carrie" director. "The problem is you're gonna run out of road after a while. You can go to excess gore and a level of pornography with violence, or you can make the characters people that the audience care about." Stephen King has said: "Love creates horror."
Scaring is caring. That comes down to old-fashioned storytelling, making characters sympathetic and real. Audiences want to relate to them. But the audience, too, has changed: It's more female.
"The audience that drives these movies is women under 25," says Jason Blum, whose production company Blumhouse has thrived on micro-budget horror with the "Paranormal Activity" and "Insidious" movies. "I'm not talking about 'Twilight.' I'm talking about 'The Conjuring' or 'Insidious'—really scary movies."
Related Video
The new "Carrie" brings its story into the video era. The mean girls who taunt Carrie White in the locker room record her humiliation with camera phones and upload it to the Web. The "Evil Dead" remake adds a contemporary twist too. Rather than arriving at the isolated cabin to party, a group of young adults assemble to help their friend Mia kick a heroin addiction. Of course, they inadvertently summon demons, but here their friend's nightmarish behavior and visions are chalked up to the DTs.
It isn't that today's horror films have abandoned classic scares. Filmmakers have needed to raise their game in almost every sense to sell the scares to a more experienced horror audience. Compared with the classic slasher flicks of the 1980s, today's horror films have subtler scripts, less campy acting, better cinematography, and more intense sound. Low-budget movies don't need to look so low-budget anymore, unless they do it on purpose, presenting their tales as amateur footage that makes us feel as if the victims experiencing paranormal terrors could be us. Gory effects have advanced. Even low-budget actors these days are gorgeous.
In the original "The Evil Dead," which Sam Raimi wrote and directed at age 21, dopey teenagers recite corny lines, then get killed. The remake, gory as ever, features more refined dialogue. "I know I look like roadkill," Mia jokes when her brother arrives. "No, you look beautiful, as always," he says. "And you're a charming liar, as always," Mia says.
Moviemakers have mastered the art of making the mundane terrifying, using little details to make situations feel natural before they get supernatural. "Insidious" finds fright in a baby monitor, which can be an implement of torment for parents even when working properly. It becomes especially unsettling when it transmits a whispering demonic voice.
In "The Conjuring," Lili Taylor and Ron Livingston move their family into a new house on a sunny day. The peppy Zombies song "Time of the Season" plays as they haul boxes and joke around. It's fun.
Soon, the daughters play a hide-and-seek game and accidentally dislodge a wall panel inside a closet, and the dad gripes: "Alright, what did we break now?!" He sees that behind the wall is a hidden staircase to a cellar, lights a match and heads down for a look. There is nothing really new here, but we're sure wishing he didn't do that.
James Wan, the film's director, who also started the "Saw" franchise in 2004, says: "I take something familiar, and I take it up a notch, and supernatural forces start to intervene and I play with them."
Even Eli Roth, who directed "Hostel" and is known for so-called torture porn, says it isn't about the gore. "If you just repel people with violence, people are gonna go 'what's the point?'" he says. "But if you can engage them in a story that gets their blood pumping and gets them screaming, that's the goal. The horror movies that really catch fire tap into a fear that everyone is feeling but no one is articulating."
Horror films have striven to feel disturbingly real for decades. Many, from "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" (1974) to "The Conjuring," have been "based on a true story." Low-budget filming techniques— hand-held cameras and documentary styles —came along to make scenes feel truer and more unsettling. Mr. Craven had worked on documentaries but never a feature film before making the brutal "The Last House on the Left."
It's no wonder horror movie clichés have created a fertile market for parody. The "Scary Movie" franchise, whose fifth installment premiered in April, has grossed an astonishing $896 million world-wide. "Hellbenders," released last week, takes a whack at exorcism movies.
Well-worn horror tropes also have provided a laundry list of gimmicks filmmakers need to work around—or use to misdirect audiences anew.
"It's just a catalog in your mind of things you've seen and maybe have been so successful that they've been imitated time and time again, each time by somebody on a lower budget and with less talent," says Mr. Craven, who made "Scream" in 1986.
What's scary now? How about real life? Zombie dramas like "World War Z" and "The Walking Dead" play to multiple modern fears: escalating global violence, disease outbreak, our fears of losing our own minds as we age. "World War Z," whose giant budget was a glaring exception, is the top-grossing horror movie in the U.S. of the past 30 years, according to IMDb. "The Purge" flicks at fears about our safety in an age of unexpected real-life terror.
Mr. Roth's first film, "Cabin Fever" (2002), had young folks at a rural cabin succumbing to a flesh-eating disease rather than demons. His "Hostel" was about obnoxious Americans who tour Europe seeking women to exploit but end up having their own bodies sold into a torture-for-sport ring. Mr. Roth's forthcoming film, "The Green Inferno," is about trendy eco-activists who travel to Peru to save a dying tribe but end up as victims of cannibals. Turns out the natives were just hungry. ("The irony is, I love to travel," Mr. Roth says about his films.)
"It goes back to Grimm's fairy tales, about children's fears of the world," Mr. Roth says. "I think horror movies are fairy tales for adults. You can't sit there at your job and scream. You have to put on a brave face and carry on. But in a movie theater, for the next two hours, you are allowed to be terrified."

USC fades at finish in loss to Cal
BERKELEY – Leading by 10 points with just six minutes remaining, USC looked well on its way to wrapping up a weekend sweep of the Bay Area against Cal on Sunday night – a victory that would've given the Trojans their first five-game winning streak since December 2009.
But a strong push from Cal – on the court and on the sidelines – was USC's demise against the Bears.
First, it was a motivational push from Cal coach Mike Montgomery, who visibly shoved Bears star player Allen Crabbe during a timeout on the sidelines, hoping to spark the Pac-12's leading scorer — a moment that instantly went viral and lit a fire under Crabbe.
From there, the Bears looked like a new team — their final push on the court in the last six minutes proving to be too much to handle, as Cal finished those final six minutes on a 25-7 run and blew past the Trojans with an arsenal of 3-pointers to win, 76-68.
"They had a lot of momentum," USC interim coach Bob Cantu said. "They shot the ball so well from three during that stretch. We had done a great job defending it to that point. Crabbe and (point guard Justin) Cobbs got going .... It really changed the game quickly there."
Crabbe, especially, was the game's deciding factor in those final minutes. After remaining quiet for the first half and some of the second, Crabbe knocked down a huge 3-pointer that seemed to get the Bears over the hump, bringing them within four points after USC had answered every other comeback attempt. Then, after a Cobbs 3-pointer gave Cal its first lead since the game's opening minutes and a Jio Fontan 3-pointer had taken the lead back, Crabbe drilled another contested shot from long range that sent the Haas Pavilion crowd into a frenzy.
From there, the Trojans couldn't get anything to fall, making just one shot from the field for the remainder of the game.
"We just weren't able to get stops after that," Cantu said of Crabbe's decisive 3-pointer. "That stretch really got us."
USC also wasn't helped by its sloppy execution on the offensive end in those final six minutes, turning the ball over five times in a span of less than five minutes. Before that dreaded six-minute mark, the Trojans had turned the ball over just six times.
And without the help of senior leading scorer Eric Wise, who struggled all game – he shot just 3 of 12 and scored eight points – USC couldn't find its rhythm when it mattered most.
The Trojans did get an impressive bounce-back effort from sophomore guard Byron Wesley, who made 4 of 6 from 3-point range and finished with 16 points after a 2-of-10 effort from the field against Stanford. But Wesley, like the rest of his teammates, couldn't outlast the Bears' final triumphant push.
Still, even with the loss – USC's first since Jan. 26 – Cantu said after the game that he was pleased with a weekend split, noting that the Trojans are "a totally different team" than they were before their four-game win streak.
"We've won four of our last five," Cantu said. "We're shooting the ball better. We're averaging more points. We just have to keep working."

Facebook claims that it is not possible to check all who have viewed or visited your profile, but there are some applications which enable you to find out the profile visitor. How does this work?
migrated from superuser.com Mar 26 '11 at 6:32
This question came from our site for computer enthusiasts and power users.
They don't work. Such apps are rogue apps. You can confirm by seeing that the numbers, counts et al are the same for each person.
The whole idea is to get people to use it so that the app can steal personal data/use it for datamining or sell it off.
As Sathya says, these apps are fakes. Even apps that claim to make your visitors look like stalkers are fake. Never trust any app that claims to do this.
Most either fake the numbers, or use data collected from other people using the app (aka they ask your friends to join as well). Stalking apps just display the person's name - nothing clever.

I checked other questions, but they all had information how to make a callback when one specific image has loaded:
var img = new Image();
img.src = "images/img.png";
if (!img.complete) {
img.onload = function() {
// code to be executed when the image loads
Or a simple check to see if all images are loaded with an 'if' statement. Also, $(window).load (or onLoad or whatever) doesn't work.
In my case I'm loading two images:
var img1 = new Image();
var img2 = new Image();
img1.src = 'images/img1.png';
img2.src = 'images/img2.png';
How can I define a callback similar to the one in the first example, but it gets executed when BOTH images have finished loading?
Thank you for your time.

Students of Other studies need not worry about paying for over-priced textbooks anymore – renting textbooks is an option! Other textbooks – for example Rome and the Classical West (The Illustrated History of the World, Volume 3) by [J. M. Roberts], and Kids On Strike! by [Susan Campbell Bartoletti] – are often some of the most frequently updated books by Publishing companies. The field of Other is constantly changing, and new editions can come yearly and at a huge cost to students who continually buy new books. So why buy when you can rent cheap textbooks? There are plenty of Other books to rent – BookRenter has of them all!
Used book sales can be a cheap option as well, but often can be more expensive than textbook rentals. However, there are very few return policies with used books, and especially when taking Other classes, buying a used book can be dangerous and costly.
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.

I've heard that arrowroot can be used just like cornstarch as a thickening agent. If I have both ingredients on hand, under what circumstances would I choose one over the other?
Compared to corn starch, arrowroot:
Where it doesn't work so well is in many fruit pies and some other baked goods (because it tends to break down under high heat), and in dairy dishes (you'll end up with a "gooey" texture).
Use arrowroot in place of corn starch whenever your needs match the above.
P.S. Many people are also allergic to corn, and this is probably one of the most common reasons to use arrowroot. If this applies to you, and you're making a dish that is not suited to arrowroot, tapioca flour/starch is another great thickener and actually thickens better than corn starch.
Arrowroot is also safe for anyone who has issues with corn.
Some people avoid all grains (including corn) due to either intolerance or due to concerns relating to the (negative) nutritional impact of consuming grains OR a philosophical aversion to "neolithic" foods.
For those folks, like those with corn allergies, arrowroot (and other non-grain-based thickeners) may be a viable alternative.

Federal authorities could be a help
January 13, 2013
To the editor: From the national and local Ohio news reports that chronicle the Steubenville rape case, my contention is that Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla is over his head with this case....
Sometimes it takes more than on camera theatrics to solve a case. Just saying, you can't just talk the talk, you've got to walk the walk.
1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
As everyone in this valley knows, Fred Abdalla has always looked out for the children and elderly in Jefferson County. And I applaud him for that. Every time an incident would happen, he would be on camera telling everyone what a despicable person or persons that committed the crime were. The valley knows what I'm talking about. Why isn't he doing that now? Why isn't he on camera calling them "sick sons a *******" or "I'll make sure they'll get put away for as long as the law will allow." Even though this isn't "his" case, it never stopped him before. Jane Doe's a child. I am also surprised that Channel 9 is reporting on this story as much as they have been. They have always been a political station. You only hear, what "they" want you to hear.

Also, Since these boys took nude photos of the young girl without her permission, and sent them over the internet, that might legally constitute child ****. We hope federal law enforcement will consider getting involved.

My VPN provider gives me the option between using UDP and TCP for connections. According to this site UDP is faster for short distance. I'm on the same contentent as my server, is that considered short distance? Is there a test I can run to compare the two?
A VPN is for wrapping raw IP packets into some kind of "tunnel" between two sites (one of the site being possibly reduced to one computer, i.e. yours). TCP is a protocol which sits on top of IP, and uses IP packets (which are "unreliable": they can get lost, duplicated, reordered...) to provide a reliable two-directional channel for data bytes, where bytes always reach the receiver in the order they were sent. TCP does that by using a complex assortment of metadata with explicit acknowledges and reemissions. Thus, TCP incurs a slight network overhead.
If the VPN uses TCP, then your own TCP connections will use IP packets sent through the VPN, so you end up paying the TCP overhead twice. An UDP-based VPN thus has the potential for slightly better performance. On the other hand, the cryptographic protection of the VPN requires some state management, which may be harder for the VPN implementation when using UDP, hence it is possible that the UDP-based VPN has an extra overhead to contend with.
Therefore, the performance situation is not clear, and you should measure.
You could try downloading a file via either method and seeing if the download speeds are drastically different.
The trade-offs between TCP and UDP (regardless of VPN usage) is always the same: You sacrifice speed for reliability as UDP is connectionless and the server sending the data theoretically (depending on the implementation) doesn't care if it reaches the destination or not. This is fine in things like Internet gaming where each packet might be a movement by a user, but in things like encryption where missing bits of data means that an entire message may need to be re-sent, TCP would be more welcome as the time gained by using UDP might be lost by having to re-send an entire message.
Being on the same continent is not generally considered a short distance. I would consider being in the same building, perhaps in the same city as a short distance but not much further than that. The more hops a packet has to go through, the more likely it will be corrupted at some point along the way. If you want to see how many hops it takes to get to your destination, try running a "trace route" command.
Hope I've helped.
UDP is perferred for VPNs, the overhead is lower. This discussion about unreliability of UDP is moot. Since we're tunelling, there's no difference between a TCP datagram lost on the open internet and a TCP datagram lost in a TCP tunnel or a TCP datagram lost in a UDP tunnel. All will be retransmitted.
A problem with UDP tunnels are that they're stateless, this makes it harder to secure at the firewall. Reply packets are no different than source packets. From a security perspective, TCP tunnels are easier.
This is really the same as TCP and UDP normally are. TCP is a system where by every packet is guaranteed to arrive in order. If a packet is received out of order, it is stored and if a packet doesn't show up to fill in a gap, it is re-requested. This ensures a complete stream with no data lost, but it means that a connection may be held up by one missed packet while the information is requested again.
UDP on the other hand makes no such guarantee and information will arrive in whatever order it arrives and be processed as such. I'm not sure about the security implications exactly, but you would likely still get a similar delay in UDP if using a non-parallelizable chaining stream cipher since it would need all the packets to arrive in order, but this could also be overcome by using an encryption mode that supports parallel decryption.
So basically, the only thing that VPN adds to the typical TCP/UDP mix is that it limits the nature of which encryption modes can be used a little, but is otherwise the typical trade off.
Actual physical point to point distance means nothing in the internet world, it all depends on ISP inter-connections. One time I pinged a server in the rack next to me and it had a 300ms delay because the packets were routed across the pacific and back because that was how the ISPs were connected to each other. If the servers had been directly connected the delay would have been in the microseconds. The servers were inches away from each other but the actual distance that the packets traveled round-trip over all the hops was on the order of 25,000 miles! That is an extreme example, but it illustrates that you can't trust distance.
Rather than distance you need to look at latency, that is the round trip time it takes for an echo sent to the VPN destination to be replied to. As for what round trip time would make UDP a better choice than TCP I do not know, and it isn't that simple as there are other factors:
There are too many factors to give you a definitive answer as it depends on too many factors. You'll simply have to try both methods and see.

FUS tennis wins
WHEELING - The Franciscan University of Steubenville men's tennis team earned a 9-0 sweep over Mount Aloysius College Sunday.
"Games like these force us to be mentally tough the entire game," head coach Jeremy Ellis said. "It can be easy to get distracted and think about other things, but we pushed hard and grabbed the victory."
FUS displayed what Ellis said could potentially one of the strongest doubles teams the program has ever seen. Sophomore John Shultis and Freshman David Freytaq blanked their opponent twice winning 8-0 both times.
"They could be the best team our program has ever had," Ellis said. "It is all about clicking and they move so well together and they are only going to get better."
The Barons visit Bethany at 1 p.m. on April 4.
Men's lacrosse loses
STEUBENVILLE - The Franciscan University of Steubenville men's lacrosse team dropped a 20-3 decision to visiting Hilbert College Sunday.
"We moved some personnel around, and the guys kind of settled down," head coach Pete Rosaschi said about the improvements and changes that were made in the second half.
Daniel Fay, Sebastin Olsen and Sean Wayne scored for the Barons.
After a weekend of games against two experienced lacrosse programs, Medaille and Hilbert, the Barons have certainly gained valuable experience. The team also grew closer together after Saturday a special ceremony that took place in between the two games.
The jersey ceremony, a tradition started by the Sports Leader program, saw the fathers of each team member express to their sons how proud they were of them and presented them with their jersey.
"The guys saw their dads and each other in a vulnerable light," Rosaschi said. "It was a great team building exercise, and we were able to come together."
The Barons will host Mount Union at 4 p.m. on April 3.

Children's Health
Pediatricians Promote Benefits of Recess
Dec. 31, 2012 -- The American Academy of Pediatrics has two New Year's resolutions for schools: Keep the school nurse and don't drop recess.
The recommendations are part of two new policy statements published in Pediatrics.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) says there's a growing trend in schools to take away recess and use the time to teach subjects.
"There is pressure on schools to increase performance on standardized testing, and a lot of times teachers are using withdrawal of recess as a punishment for children," says Robert Murray, MD, a co-author of the recess policy statement and a professor at the Ohio State University in Columbus.
"Recess is an important part of the school day that should not be cast off without thinking," he says.
It is not a reward, he says. Recess is necessary and important to help children learn and grow.
"No matter what kind of recess, whether indoors or outdoors, structured or unstructured, kids need a safe place to play," Murray says. "And the equipment should be good and people who supervise should be well-trained."
Health Benefits of Recess
The benefits of recess are many. "The child who gets regular breaks in the day performs better cognitively in the classroom and gets a lot of social and emotional benefits," he says. "Recess provides kids with the chance to be creative and play with others just for the fun of it."
It doesn't have to be a full hour or half-hour either, he says. Recess can come in shorter bursts of play time sprinkled throughout the school day. "We need to carve out time that belongs to a child."
Recess is not the same as physical education or gym either, says the policy statement's co-author Catherine Ramstetter, PhD. She is a health educator at the Christ College of Nursing and Health Sciences in Cincinnati.
"Recess promotes a healthy learning environment. Importantly, recess should be used as a complement to physical education classes, not a substitute," she says. "It would be ideal if every school had deep pockets to build huge, amazing playgrounds. But every kid will play differently anyway, and every school doesn't have the resources. We need to protect recess as it benefits the whole child."

I'm mildly curious as to what would happen that'd make a bounty "expiration" time change. When I answered a bounty question with the right answer (and it was accepted), the bounty had about 17 hours to expire. Now (about a day later) the bounty is described as expiring 6 more days from now. Does that mean that the question-asking user somehow extended the time horizon?
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
You seem to have been misled by the comments. There is no change in bounty time limit, all that happened is that the author is noting when the bounty can be awarded. BalusC quotes the relevant comment, which I'll repeat for convenience.
However, it is impossible for there to have been a 17-hours-to-expiration bounty; the question was posted on
Since the bounty cannot be awarded until at least 24 hours have been passed, the earliest it can be awarded is
That's odd. All bounties are supposed to be exactly seven days long, with absolutely no exceptions. I don't see an awarded bounty on the question you linked, but I do see the open bounty you referred to and your accepted answer.
When you answered, was there a message like this on the question:
or some other message? As of a few months ago, bounties and accepted answers are completely independent of each other, so I'm wondering if you saw some other message and were still working under the old definition of bounty. More details on the change are described in the blog here.

What does happen?
- I can use Bonds of Loyalty to recruit yet another unit.
- It can be reused as a normal command token (without the special boni).
- It is discarded.
- Your idea.
What does happen?
You can use Bonds of Loyalty to recruit another unit with the bonus it offers.
There is a discussion about this question on BGG. The last poster quotes Paul Grogan, who is the maintainer of the Official FAQ for the game and appears to be at least partially responsible for the writing of the rule book. A unit recruited by Bonds of Loyalty cannot be disbanded, but Paralyze destroys the unit and removes it from the game. This is probably the "clever way" that Paul Grogan was talking about of replacing a Bond of Loyalty recruited unit.
From Paul Grogan's post regarding Bonds of Loyalty, emphasis mine.
Paralysis definition from the Rulebook.
See http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/761808/quick-queries for some useful discussion on this subject.
I would agree with the consensus towards the end of that thread, that if you can find a clever way of getting rid of the unit recruited with Bonds of Loyalty, such as Paralyzing it to death, you can reuse the Bonds of Loyalty, bonus and all.
