(October 19, 2012)—Northbound traffic backed up on Interstate 35 Friday afternoon after a fiery seven-vehicle crash.
The accident happened early Friday afternoon in the area of the Wiggins Road exit between Waco and West.
One car was on fire under a highway bridge, but authorities said all of the occupants escaped safely
Firefighters from several area departments responded to the scene.
The car fire was extinguished, but the northbound lanes of the highway remained blocked in the area of the accident and by around 3:30 p.m. the backup extended about 12 miles.
A preliminary report indicated the chain-reaction crash occurred after an 18-wheeler ran out of fuel and the driver stopped.
There were no reports of injuries.

Leah got inspired after reading "A Christmas Carol" in school this year and then seeing the Disney Jim Carrey version of "A Christmas Carol". She thought "This isn't like the book! It's creepy! They're scaring Scrooge in to believing in whatever they want him to believe in! In this case, Christmas! (I am paraphrasing here)" As with Thanksgiving, I had little influence over this one. Color me proud.

Scientists at Morehead State University have made contact with a satellite built by the school that was launched into space in September.
The next step will be to assist the Cosmic X-Ray Background Nanosatellite perform experiments, including taking measurements that could add insight to physics of the early universe.
The satellite was one of many launched on a U.S. Department of Defense rocket on Sept. 13. Scientists expect it to remain in orbit for about a decade.
If the device is operational, it will be the first satellite built entirely in Kentucky to be launched and deployed.

Dungeon Runners
TOG Score
Members (av.)
The Good
- Free!
- Very Diablo
- Funny
The Bad
- A little gimped if you don't pay the monthly fee
- A little repetitive
Dungeon Runners is a free MMO from the publishers/developers of City of Heroes/Villains, Guild Wars, Lineage and Tabula Rasa. That's a pretty impressive pedigree and it shows the moment you launch the game and realize this isn't your typical free MMO. Something else that separates Dungeon Runners from the pack of even pay-to-play games is the sheer amount of humor in the game. The whole thing is pretty much a parody of typical MMOs and other dungeon crawlers like Diablo.
The game plays a lot like a mix of Guild Wars and DiabloThe game plays a lot like a mix of Guild Wars and Diablo. There are hub "towns" where you can shop, group with other players and collect quests. Once you enter a dungeon you are in an instance with just you and your party. Instances are persistent until you quit the game or manually reset it. Dungeons are randomly created and populated so each time you reset its something new. Combat is also a mix of the two games…pound on enemies until they die using either your default attack or skills you can purchase. There are three character classes to choose from…the stereotypical fighter, ranger and mage. Once you choose a class, however, you can buy skills from the other two archetypes to create a custom character. I created a fighter that can shoot chain lightning (Mage) and emit a poison gas cloud (Ranger)…like a Sith with gas.
Once you load up on quests in town you head to the local dungeon. Inevitably, you will acquire more loot than you can carry. You have two options at your disposal…well, one unless you buy the box version of the game. You can purchase scrolls that open up a two-way door back to town. (think Town Portal in Diablo) This will let you unload your loot at the merchant or in your bank and return to where you left off. If you buy the boxed version of the game you have another option…more on that later. Death is also pretty easy to deal with. You end up back in town and once you are ready to go back you can use one of the travel obelisks to travel back to the entrance of the dungeon level you died on. You also use these obelisks to travel between town hubs. Its all about getting you back to the fight as quickly and easily as possible.
Feverish Polished Cereal Box Ring of the DonkeyOne of the draws of the game is the humor. Dungeon Runners is hilarious...if you are big into MMOs there are a lot of inside jokes about other games. The first merchant you meet in the beginning town greeted me with "Everything I've got is CRAP!" Beyond the quest text, the humor is even reflected in the items you loot. "Feverish Polished Cereal Box Ring of the Donkey" is just one of the items currently equipped on my character. "Dismal Cardboard Scrap Pick of Taint" is another. (Wanna see what I have now? Check out this link: http://demosthenez.100webspace.net/d...rname=Arepfoot)
Keep in mind, however, that the whole game isn't available to you noble cheapskates out there. Membership does have its privileges. Signing up for the modest $5 per month plan gives you access to more bank slots, members-only items, experience and gold bonuses, plus freedom from the ad banner at the top of the screen. If you go a step further and buy the $20 (US) retail box you get Bling Gnomes which are little hip-hop sidekicks that follow you around and, um, "process your loot" into gold. You also get six months of game time. So, you spend $20 and get $30 worth of game time plus the gnomes. Not a bad deal. If you play for free you are constantly reminded of that fact but it's not as intrusive as, say, Pirates of the Caribbean which throws up a big window in your face every time you encounter something you can't do for free.
I was able to join the members-only server which went a long way towards getting rid of the "Barrens Chat" feel in the "noob" channelAfter playing for a few days I decided to buy the retail box. While waiting for the box to arrive (along with my Bling Gnome!) I upgraded my account to become a member for $5 a month. Doing so removed the ad banner from the top of the screen and gave me all sorts of goodies. I was able to join the members-only server which went a long way towards getting rid of the "Barrens Chat" feel in the "noob" channel. I immediately noticed an upgrade in the quality of the loot that was dropping. There was also a nice boost in the gold I was collecting which helps since skills cost a bundle. Some of the rewards you get for quests are these things called Kings Coins which you can turn in for random class-specific loot. When you are a member the conversion rate is cut in half so I spent the Coins I was hording away in order to outfit my character with some really sweet level-appropriate stuff. However, all of these things are just bonuses for becoming a member…you can still have a blast playing for free but it will just take more time and luck to find the good stuff.
I haven't played around with the PvP yet but there are dedicated servers for PvP (you choose your server after you select your character and not the other way around, like in most games) and there is also a portal in town on PvE servers that takes you to a PvP zone. In the PvP worlds you can go head to head against an opponent or join a group for team deathmatch. Recently a system was added to help balance players by effectively raising everyone's levels to one over the level cap regardless what your original level was. Unfortunately, the folks who come in with the best skills and gear have an overwhelming advantage even with the level balance.
Whether you are sitting there impatiently waiting for the recently-announced Diablo III or are just looking for some cheap, quality entertainment you should do yourself a favor and check out Dungeon Runners. There is a little bit here for everyone to enjoy and the price is certainly right. The humor actually had me laughing out loud on more than one occasion. The only question is will the game still be in my play rotation when other titles release later this year? If you find yourself enjoying the free version, it'll be almost insane to pass up the retail box deal. Now, if you'll excuse me I need to clean up after my Bling Gnome.

A Louisville lawmaker is pressing for changes to Kentucky's domestic violence laws to allow them to apply to dating couples.
Democratic Sen. Denise Harper Angel said 48 other states already have amended their domestic violence laws to protect victims of dating violence and that Kentucky should follow suit.
She has pushed similar legislation unsuccessfully over the past three years.
Current Kentucky domestic violence laws apply only when victims have either lived with or had a child with their abusers. Harper Angel said victims of dating violence can't get an emergency protective order, regardless of the degree of intimacy involved.
She said she's hopeful the measure will pass the Senate this year.


text: Well folks, I've reached my last lesson for the day and as you can see it's going to be on another chibi figure from the Adventure Time series. I am having so much fun creating the chibi versions of all of the animated cast. Up next I will be showing you "how to draw chibi Rainicorn", step by step. In all reality her real name is 'Lady Rainicorn', and she is as you know the loyal steed to Princess Bubblegum. Not only is she her main means of transportation, Rainicorn is also her friend, and trusted companion. This is going to be an incredibly easy and colorful lesson to tackle. I absolutely love the way she came out, and I just know that all you who requested her, will fall in love with drawing chibi Rainicorn. Well, that is all I really have to say since there is a regular or normal lesson on this Adventure Time character already. Have fun and be sure to come back tomorrow to see what else I will upload. Adios people!

In my work environment I have to connect to 3 or 4 machines simultaneously via windows native remote desktop. I have to spend a lot of time in switching between the different client windows. Is there a better way to manage multiple simultaneous connections? I am looking for a freeware tool as I cannot convince my management to buy a tool just for my needs.
migrated from stackoverflow.com Sep 30 '09 at 7:56
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
I use RoyalTS for just that situation. The current version requires payment for a license but you can download an older version (1.5.1) that offers almost exactly the same functionality but is free.
That said, I ended up paying for the latest version as it was cheap as chips and had some nice additions.
Try Terminals, it's a remote control tool that supports VNC, RDP, SSH, Telnet, ... And it's free!
What about VNC? Looks like they have a free edition on the site.
You can also try TeamViewer.
People at work seem to be zoning in on Mremote
Since VNC was mentioned, I want to mention UltraVNC which is FOSS.
If you have a Windows 2003 Server, install the AdminPak.MSI file - this includes most if not all of the administrative tools available on the server. One of them is "Remote Desktops" - which is an MMC console that lists all systems and can be connected to multiple systems at the same time. There may be other apps (some of them could be recommended by others) but this is a free utility that can put all connections in a central location.
personally i use royalTS, but there is another option if you don't want to install software on your PC. There is a remote desktops MMC snap-in which does the same thing.
or altenatively
I use sysinternals' desktops which create multiple local desktops on your PC. You can then open "remote machine desktops" in the different local desktops. This tool is multi-purpose and is not limited to manage remote-desktops only. You can have a couple of remote desktop open in local desktops and can have local app windows open in another local desktop.
The local desktops can be accessed with simple shortcuts like Alt-1, Alt-2 etc. and is configurable with Alt/Ctrl/Shift/Windows and [1-4] OR [F1-F4].
You can get it from following link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/cc817881.aspx
I created a folder in My Documents and put all my .rdp files in it. Then I created a custom taskbar toolbar and pointed it at the folder with my rdps in it. I put it all the way to the right by the clock and when the taskbar is locked, i just click on the little ">>" next to it, and it acts like a popup menu.
You can use RealVNC or TeamViewer

with free agency officially under way, the steam doesn't hhave a RB or WR
on the roster drafted in the first 2 rounds
is there another team out there that can say that?
Printable View
AB84 was one the biggest reason Steelers lost Oakland and Dallas games. Can you believe a WR making so much of an impact??
Mike Wallace is a one trick pony...can catch the ball unless its perfectly thrown...
Sanders well he is afraid to get hit. He is a wussy.
Steelers made a big mistake signing AB84 to that contract. Steelers acted like a ditched lover and went to the next chick available and that was AB84 when MW rejected them. AB84 is a career No.2 WR. Steelers need to get a No.1 WR somehow.
Steelers WR are not a good fit if they want to implement Haleys Offense. WRs need to get open quickly...run crisp routes and well make catch in traffic. Steelers WR just cant do it. No toughness in them.
Anyways its not like Haley had a great system..Haley was way too predictable. DBs were just sitting on the routes and daring Steelers to throw deep. Obiviously no running game did not help.
Big Ben had every reason to question the play calling. I would have done the same thing. Maybe not in media but yeah i would be pissed off with rubbish play calling towards the end of the season games.
I hope Haley and Ben work out things in this offseason but i would like to some more deep passes called in a game.
I can't wait to see a full season from David DeCastro, and I believe Mike Adams will improve as well. The Steelers should draft another G so the overhaul of the offensive line will be complete. I look forward to a day when we can say that Marcus Gilbert is the worst starting offensive lineman on the team.
..and a WR fumbling is no different than a QB throwing a game ending INT or a RB fumbling in crunch time. It happens from time to time but it shouldn't define their career.
Right now Joe Flacco is the elite quarterback "du jour", because of his performance in the playoffs. At the mid-point of the season Ravens fans were discussing not giving him a contract and to look in a different direction, now they're all amped up to give Joe the keys to the city. Joe Flacco has made positive strides as an NFL quarterback form year to year and now in his fifth year he is playing at a high level. Kaepernick was all that for a few weeks, Ryan was the greatest thing since sliced bread, they were measuring Wilson for his HOF jacket along with RGIII, what all these guys have in common and not in common with Ben is that they haven't proven to be able to sustain a high level of play over a 16 game season and then into the playoffs.
And, while Ben has made some throws that make you say hmmm recently he still has proven that he's more than capable of taking a team into the playoffs. Everyone has bad games, bad stretches of games,etc, but Ben's overall statistics and success for 9 years is top shelf. The Steeler offense has never had the compliment of players that other top tier quarterbacks have. Burress, Holmes and now Wallace, players that had to be accounted for never saw their second contracts, Bettis was at the tail end of his career, Parker was a one-trick pony running back, Mendenhall has been injured, Ward and Miller have been the only constants at the skill positions for Ben, the offensive line has been decimated at times by injuries and in a constant state of flux and yet, Ben and the Steeler offense has succeeded well enough to to be in three Super Bowls, winning two of them.
I can't speak to other teams offensive line situation, but during the Super Bowl it was said that the 49ers offensive line didn't miss one single game all year, that's unbelievable. And, in reality, can't really say for sure that the skill players for other top tier quarterbacks have been constant, but it seems anytime the Steeler are playing top teams the names that need to be defended are typically playing and are the same players year after year.
Lets see how Joe does next year and if he can sustain the level of play he put on tape in the playoffs, same with RGIII, Luck, Wilson and Kaepernick. The Ravens started the process of defending the read option by hitting anything that moved in the backfield and, since, its an option and the quarterback could be a running back he isn't protected as well. It will be interesting to see how defenses adjust to this style offense.
Sorry Pap but Flacco has been getting better every year... that logic works for the rookies but I dont buy it for Flacco. Seems like every yeqr we hear the "lets see what he does next year"
Give Flacco credit. If they go 9-7 next year what will it prove? The guy has a SB mvp, tied montana with 11 tds and no picks... and has an impressive playoff record.
I have a feeling it will be 9 year or 10 years into his career and a few fans will still try the "wait til next year" with this kid.

1964 Dodge 330 - Bluesmobile MoparWritten by Brandan Gillogly on May 22, 2014 Contributors: Jesse Kiser Blue on Black
Kenny Wayne Shepherd has made a name for himself as a blues guitarist and a Mopar fan, and the two seem to go hand in hand. His success as an artist has allowed him to indulge in his love of American muscle cars and build a new car just about every year, while his appearances at car events have led to new opportunities in his career. "My two passions have collided and feed off one another," he told us.
If you've seen any of Kenny's other Mopars, you'd notice that many of his cars have a Pro Touring theme, with low-profile tires and sturdy sway bars. This car has neither. It's a throwback to quarter-mile speed, creature comforts be damned.
Kenny first talked to Mopar about building a '64 Dodge 330 at SEMA in 2008. That year, Mopar's booth had a definite slant toward practicality and a lack of excitement, yet those in the know at Mopar could see what was on the horizon. Kenny spoke to Mopar's Pat Muldoon about some of his favorite cars and the two got on the topic of the Max Wedge era of Mopar's dragstrip dominance. They put their heads together and schemed up a retro, drag-race-themed B-body that would showcase the best of Mopar's fuel-injected crate engines while still keeping an early '60s, factory-backed, drag-race vibe.
Many of Kenny's cars represent a family connection, and this car is no exception. Kenny's grandfather owned a 330, so the search began for a suitable donor that would stand in for the car that was sold years ago. Pat discovered an abandoned, slant-six-powered '64 330 in a field in North Carolina and convinced the owner that it could be put to better use. The car was shipped to Detroit, where a team of Mopar Performance specialists did the dirty work to convert the car to a daily driving homage to a time of Super Stock and factory lightweights.
The Ramchargers began as an informal group of Chrysler engineers who wanted to make Mopars more competitive on the dragstrip by taking a scientific approach to chassis and engine modifications. From their meager beginnings (with the low-buck High and Mighty '49 Plymouth business coupe they campaigned in '59 and '60), they received factory support from Dodge and the team built its first factory-backed car in '61—a 413ci-powered Dart—but it wasn't until 1963, when the team built two Polaras, that the full factory support came to fruition. The pair of 426-powered cars were named Candymatics after their white-with-red-stripe paint scheme and automatic transmissions. Unlike the earlier cars, the '63 models came from the factory with real race parts installed: aluminum block and cylinder heads, and aluminum front sheetmetal. At the'63 Winternationals, Stock Eliminator Mopars dominated the field, with Al Eckstrand taking home the trophy and claiming the title of Mr. Stock Eliminator by running 12.44 at 115.08 mph.
Wedge Facts
The 426ci Max Wedge was fist made available in 1963 when the Ramcharger 426 was an option in all Dodge B-body models from 330 to Polara 500, even wagons.
The Plymouth version of the Ramcharger engine was dubbed Super Stock.

Chemotherapy Resistance
OncoLink Team
The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: May 7, 2013
Why do chemotherapy drugs stop working or need a period of time before they can be used again?
AnswerJames Stevenson, MD, Medical Oncologist, responds:
Cancer cells can find ways to become resistant to chemotherapy through different mechanisms. This is an intensive area of research. Specific resistance mechanisms (such as a gene mutation) can potentially be targeted with a treatment designed to inhibit it. Sometimes resistance is irreversible, but other times we find that the same treatment can be used again with success after a period of time off of that treatment.

WHEELING - Employers couldn't stop workers from legally bringing firearms in their personal vehicles to their workplace under legislation proposed by Del. Ryan Ferns.
Ferns, D-Ohio, first introduced the measure last year. It is now before the 81st Legislature as House Bill 2294. The measure prohibits an employer from terminating employment or imposing sanctions on a worker who brings a legally stored gun onto the workplace property in their personal vehicle.
The provision would ensure the right of citizens to transport firearms and store firearms for "lawful purposes in any place where the vehicle is otherwise permitted to be," its language states.
The measure wouldn't supercede existing laws where prohibitions of guns on the property already are in place - such as on public school property, Ferns noted.
"A local person had an issue with their employer," he said. "The person felt if he complied with all state laws for transporting firearms, he shouldn't be at risk for loss of employment" for bringing a firearm on the workplace property in a personal vehicle.
"If you take your car to work and abide by the laws, you shouldn't be fired," Ferns added.
The West Virginia Legislature this year likely will see a number of bills pertaining to firearms in light of recent mass shootings. Some of these could seek stricter regulations on weapons, while others may seek to ensure the rights of gun owners.
"I don't see anything in West Virginia being passed that would mean greater enforcement," Ferns said. "West Virginians, by and large, are serious about their gun-owning rights. The general public is not interested in stricter gun laws."

The Cork-born businessman Martin Murphy dominates Irish enterprise as President of the Dublin Chamber of Commerce and leader of the Dublin Employers Federation but his energy is also focused on blocking the proposed Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery which results in a cultural war between him and poet W.B Yeats as author Ciaran Wallace details.
Actor Barry McGovern depicts Murphy through his lengthy letters to his own newspaper the Irish Independent where he attacks both Lane and the proposed gallery while we hear WB Yeats' response in his poem September 1913. Murphy's biographer Thomas Morrissey brings us into the mind of the man who refused a knighthood in 1907 and leads, not just the employers in 1913, but the newly launched Rathmines and Rathgar Musical Society.
Ruth Dudley Edwards shares her critical take on the leadership of Larkin, James Connolly, Larkin's second in command, and Constance Markievicz, "Larkin was a terrible leader. He was utterly ruled by emotion. He didn't know where he was taking people. Connolly wasn't much better." Labour historian Francis Devine brings to life the songs and stories of the labour movement from 1911-1913 including ballads written by Connolly himself and the song which became the anthem of the workers 'Who Fears to Wear the Red Hand Badge'.

What do you think pandas dream about?
22 Answers answer
My guess, probably food. :)
Food and taking a #2. Ahhhhhh that's the life!!
Bamboo flavored muffins
other pandas...OH...@jsimsace beat me to it....
Kung Fu?
@jsimsace: Rolls eyes. O.O Typical male. Now for my idea of the typical female: She may dream of a tall, dark (& light) handsome male panda. One who provides her w/unlimited bamboo. Exciting conversation. Trips to visit her relatives in zoos around the world.
Or..... perhaps she revels in being self-sufficient and dreams of a quiet life. One w/o commitments and obligations.
OTOH, she may dream of lovely lingerie from @ohcheri in red to complement her black/white complexion. Hey! One can dream, right? ;-)
(Buy Pandemonium @ shirt.woot.)
... or dinner?
(Buy Sad Panda Wants a Hug @ TeeTurtle.)
really good take out food.....
@gmwhit: You mean like this?
@mkentosh: Ah, so you're looking for this shirt instead:
@jsimsace: Plump????? Cute.
What do pandas dream of when they take a little panda snooze.......
@gmwhit: I'm thinking pregnant...◔_◔
Panda cuddling
Or the ideal pet
@jsimsace: Not sure where to buy them, but you can memorialize this post with a pair of these:
@belyndag: Wow....you should get top vote for that one. I am stunned, mystified and appalled by that depiction. BTW, when you figure out where to buy them LMK...I know a widow in Florida that would probably wear them. ;)
@jsimsace: You are, at times, a cruel person. And wrong, too. :-/
@belyndag: I thought those were from Urban Outfitters but they aren't appearing on their website. They've probably sold out.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters for Sony PS3 Move - Electronic Arts - Toys "R" Us for $44.99
It's $60 most other places. The Toys R Us store I called told me that I'd have to pay the retail $60 if i bought it in the store. I didn't want to wait for it to ship from the website, though, so I called my local Best Buy, and they matched the price and told me they'd hold it for me. I'm picking it up tonight after work. Sweeeeeeeeeet.
They also have Wii and Xbox 360 versions.

Spa News: Christine Heathman Appointed to Utah State Board
Christine Heathman has been appointed by to the Utah State Board of Cosmetology/Barbering, Esthetics, Electrology and Nail Technology Licensing. Christine Heathman played an instrumental role in establishing the first Master Esthetic License in the country in 2001 and is thrilled to be nominated to the board where she can continue to affect the requirements for state licensing. The appointment comes from Utah Governor, Gary Herbert.
The three-year appointment charges Ms. Heathman with carrying out a number of important responsibilities relating to licensing and in protecting the interests of the people of Utah. The opportunity to review current licensing issues and work on legislation related to state licensing is something that Ms. Heathman takes seriously. Working alongside staff members from the Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing, Christine Heathman will have a number of duties and responsibilities to perform over the coming months.
Utah was the first state to enact a Master Esthetic License in 2001. Since then Virginia, Washington and California have each passed legislation requiring licensing for aestheticians and master aestheticians. The current requirements for a license in Utah are 600 hours for an esthetic license (LE) and 1200 hours for the master esthetic license (LME). In 2000, Christine Heathman worked tirelessly with other business leaders in the community to lobby the Utah State Legislator to require licensing for everyone using chemicals in the treatment room. She keeps the original signed House Bill, HB105 as a treasured memento of her work.
Christine Heathman is a skin expert and esthetics pioneer who has helped to shape American skin care throughout her 30-year career. She helped pass the first state Master Esthetician license, has appeared as a guest expert on popular national television, and has been described as a "legend" in the profession. Christine is the owner of GlyMed Plus Professional Only Skin Care and remains an innovator in research and development of unconventional and progressive skin care protocols, used in skin care and medical clinics all over the world.

Warren County's Lighthouse Academy uses one of the most progressive computer-based curriculums in the state, but it's expensive to maintain.
Thanks to the Hometown Partners, WBKO, Leachman Buick GMC, and Greenview Regional Hospital, the financial burden has been eased.
Teacher Angela Lawlor was this week's recipient of "One Class at a Time." She says $250 will go a long way.
"When we order from other suppliers, it's very expensive and we can take this money and go to Wal-Mart and purchase a lot of things for our students."
There are only two weeks left for "One Class at a Time." If you would like to nominate a teacher, click on "Helping Your Hometown."

NONE, Dunsparce looks better
Pokémon Smash is a tv show that airs at around 7:30 am JST, another source of news~
MyAnimeList | School Idol Tomodachi
< - (Not bad for a first attempt at a banner eh? banner's mine)
I just want to point out that there's three things in France that are involved with their culture, especially in certain regions, for example, in certain parts of France there's a chestnut day, I think I know where they got that idea, also, there's a huge trend for small exotic pets that are fashionable (or is that done already?) like the fennec fox. and there's lots of rivers in France, bound to be a whole lot of Frogs... so there's my two cents. More importantly I forsee a lot of moves that have to deal with slashing invovled with chespin, and moves that are mainly special with fennekin. Froakie's sort of a mystery. it's seen using special and physical moves in the trailer so... I don't know. I mean if you look at the pokemon designs you could almost always tell. I mean generally those with pointy things are good at attack right?
Hey fellas, I was browsing around Pokemon-related and found this on 4chan. Just wanna share with you guys and get your opinions.
Spoiler:- Behold:
I find it legit.
Everything else is agreeable.
Edit: Actually, Close Combat in the anime is just like the one Froakie is using...

It could easily be a new move, so we can tell what it is for now, guys...
❝I don't want to forget.❞
Even if it is Acrobatics, I don't mind seeing as it most likely means that Froakie will have high Speed, and there's the fact that a lot of the non-bulky Fighting type Pokemon can learn it.

Even after seeing that evidence, people think it's night slash?? Wowwwwww
I mean isn't peoples problems with Digimon because their too complex or whatever? These designs are incredibly simple.
No sig. Deal with it.
trailer, pause at 0:41. You can see there are two strikes, one upwards and one downwards. (in the direction of the red background) Those purple lines, I think are actually part of Golurk's animation. You can see (pause trailer) at 0:57, there are similar lines/animation (maybe different Pokemon types different colour?) when Froakie is attacking Patrat. What I concur is that those animation will appear when a pokemon is attacked by a physical type move and the colour of those so-called 'lines' differ to their types. (My two cents)
Though I could be wrong though, just my analysis.

I think people shouldn't go by the moves In the trailer to determine the types

I was thinking.. We actually don't have the starters types yet.. Don't know if there are other corocoro leaks but no mention in the trailer or in the official site, which is actually strange. Also usually the firts shots show the starters fighting each other, now they fight pokemon like Golurk, Kirlia, Patrat.. I mean what if the starters are already dual-type on the first stage (like bulbasaur did)?

And you questioned my sanity. My Anime List
In other words, I really like these evo fanart for Froakie.
Dem staches
However this one needs to downsize the middle stage in size. It's too big for a middle stage compared to its first stage for a starter Pokémon.

Crunch time at Llandudno – Flickr pic of the day
This great action shot was taken by our Cape Town. Live it. Love it. group member Greg Beadle aka through-my-lens.
Greg says, "This image was captured at the annual Llandudno 8 Man Challenge. Teams of eight lifesavers participate. Team members' names are drawn out of a hat for various lifesaving disciplines.

WACO (December 17, 2012)--A Waco man pleaded guilty to multiple counts of sexually abusing children and was sentenced to seven life terms Monday.
State District Judge Ralph Strother sentenced Jack Edward Stone to seven concurrent life terms Monday after Stone pleaded guilty to four counts of indecency with a child by contact, two counts of failure to register as a sex offender, and one count of aggravated sexual assault of a child.
Stone was indicted in September for indecency with a child by contact and for failing to register as a sex offender.
Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said the charges stemmed from the abuse of three different children on at least two separate dates in June.
Arrest affidavits showed that the charges stemmed from the sexual abuse of two brothers, both younger than 8, at a home in south Waco.
Stone was previously arrested in connection with similar incidents in Bellmead, according to Bellmead Police Detective Michael Miller.
The Bellmead incident involved a 4-year-old girl.
Stone, according to his criminal record, already has served a 10-year prison sentence after his conviction in 1988 of abusing a 3-year-old.
He won't be eligible for parole for 30 years.
"Our community is now safe from this sexual predator due to the courage of the three child victims as well as the tireless efforts of Detective Anne Cyr from the Waco Police Department and Detective Haywood Sawyer from the Bellmead Police Department," said McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna.

Generally, what is is the name for the non-vocal parts of a song that are not interludes or preludes and not a guitar solo or instrumental verse/chorus? For example, right after the acapella vocal intro in Kansas' Carry on My Wayward Son.
Lots of people, particularly in the rock and roll idiom, would call this the riff. It's an easily recognizable component that defines the song.
Lots of rock songs are similarly defined by, and built around, a particular riff, so it makes sense that one would refer to that section of the song as such.
In pop/rock music, the commonest terms are:
Pop/rock are informal; rules are made to be broken and you can invent your own names for parts if the de facto standards don't fit. Some songs have more than one verse melody, or more than one type of chorus, and it's quite common to see things like "chorus II".
In your example, you might choose to refer to the "vocal intro" followed by the "guitar intro". Indeed I'd write down the structure of the start of *Carry On Wayward Son" as:

Hollywood and vine
Wineries with celeb connection abound in California
|A car enters the Francis Ford Coppola Winery in Geyserville, Calif. Part resort, part winery, this property in Sonoma County has a lot of extras including a swimming pool, cabines equipped with showers for rent, bocce courts and two places to eat including RUSTIC, which has an outdoor patio with a great view of the Alexander Valley. (AP Photo/Eric Risberg, File)
Kate MacMurray, Fred's daughter, just smiles.
"This was our home," she explains.
What visitors will find at the ranch is a place that's not much different than when the MacMurray family lived there, right down to the rocking chair with the wide flat arms just right for holding the actor's drink as he sat reading the paper in the evening, close enough to the window to keep an eye on the Black Angus cattle he raised.
MacMurray and his wife, actress June Haver, bought the ranch in 1941 from the Porter family, pioneers who established the farmstead in the 1850s — their old wagon still stands in front of the house. The MacMurrays used it for diversified farming during World War II and later raised cattle.
The MacMurray Ranch is now owned by the Gallo wine family and open to the public only during the Sonoma Wine Country Weekend in August, but it's one of several California wineries with celebrity connections, including wineries owned by "Godfather" director Francis Ford Coppola, the late "Davy Crockett" star Fess Parker, and the late "Perry Mason" star Raymond Burr.
MacMurray, star of such classics as "Double Indemnity" and "The Apartment," and later the star of the popular TV series "My Three Sons," spent his free time at the ranch and was deeply involved in the local agricultural scene. Photographs displayed in the property's refurbished barn show the couple with their prize cattle (owners and beast looking very spiffy). There are also a series of historical photographs following the evolution of the ranch from hops and prunes to livestock and now vines.
"If you held a mirror up to our ranch what would reflect back is the whole history of agriculture in Northern California," MacMurray points out. "It's quite remarkable."
Part resort, part winery, this property in Sonoma County has a lot of extras including a swimming pool, cabines (cabanas) equipped with showers for rent, bocce courts and two places to eat including RUSTIC, which has an outdoor patio with a great view of the Alexander Valley. These days, wines from the director of such classics as "The Godfather" are well-established, including the winery's the popular Diamond Collection. His film career is on display here as well with the Movie Gallery featuring lots of memorabilia, including several Academy Awards, Don Corleone's desk from "The Godfather," and the original automobile from "Tucker: The Man and His Dream."
This winery in California's Central Coast wine growing region has two claims to celebrity fame. It was founded by the late Fess Parker, star of the "Davy Crockett" and "Daniel Boone" TV series and was also featured, under the name Frass Canyon, in the 2004 wine road trip movie "Sideways." (It's where Paul Giamatti's character, Miles, has his meltdown with the spit bucket — funny onscreen, highly inadvisable in real life.) You'll find memorabilia like coonskin caps at the winery gift store, and you can also stay at the Fess Parker Wine Country Inn & Spa, an upscale retreat.
The star of TV's "Perry Mason" and "Ironside" also had a passion for wine, which is still celebrated at this small winery in Sonoma County's Dry Creek Valley. There are lots of old photos, "TV Guide" covers and awards in the small tasting room and guests can take their glasses outside to the deck and enjoy sweeping views of the vineyards.

Steinbrenner, right, sitting with his daughter, Jennifer Steinbrenner Swindal, as the pair sit in the family' private box watching the Yankees defeat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-5 in a spring training baseball game at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Fla. A person close to George Steinbrenner says the Yankees owner died Tuesday morning, July 13, 2010 . (AP Photo/Kathy Willens, File)
NEW YORK (AP) - The man who rebuilt the New York Yankees into a sports empire -- through a combination of bluster and big bucks -- has died. George Steinbrenner was 80 years old.
A person close to Steinbrenner says he had a heart attack and was taken to a hospital in Tampa, Fla., where he died this morning.
For more than 30 years, he lived up to his billing as "the Boss" -- a nickname he earned and clearly enjoyed as he ruled with an iron fist.
He was known for feuds -- including his firings of manager Billy Martin, and his clash with Yankees great Yogi Berra.
Steinbrenner was in fragile health for years, resulting in fewer public appearances and pronouncements. His sons Hal and Hank took over the operation of the family businesses.

The 6 Most Psychotic Rip-Offs of Famous Animated Films
#3. Plan Bee
What better subject to teach kids about politics and sex than a shitty rip-off of Bee Movie? Plan Bee weaves a subtle tapestry of both topics - the bees fly in front of famous landmarks and comment on how important the former presidents were while decrying the evils of monarchal rule. However, the message loses some of its meaning when it's delivered by insects speaking like illiterate 12-year olds.
Also, he looks like a guy that wore Big Johnson T-shirts in the 90s.
The whole movie is motivated by the idea that bees make sweet, sweet love to many flowers, flinging pollen left and right. Unfortunately, an evil queen is trying to force the bees to mine one particular flower until it's all dried up, making metaphorical insect rape the central plot point in a children's movie. The bees complain about being forced to pummel a single plant over and over again before finally rallying together to overthrow the evil queen, with what no one will ever convince us is not a gang bang:
And just when you're convinced that this whole experience cannot get any worse, right before the credits roll we are left with an image of bees sticking their stingers into honey, thrusting back and forth and producing queen jelly which they guzzle in ecstasy.
Jesus, it's like a party at Tom Sizemore's house.
#2. A Car's Life
Inspired by the raging success of Cars, SparkPlug Cartoons decided make their own Pixar rip-off. The end result is exactly what you would expect from a children's movie animated, written and directed by a single person in a sweatshop, and who also has never seen a child.
Kids like the desert, right?
The whole movie is a zoomed out shot of a Road Warrior-esque wasteland where Sparky, a teenage car, is going through his rebellious years, breaking the speed limit and smoking cigarettes behind 7-Eleven.
Sparky starts sneaking out at night to watch drive-in movies with a female car that seems to be at the very least mildly retarded, and we get to watch his dad fume with disappointment as his completely unentertaining antics become more and more annoying to him and us both:
By the time Sparky sneaks out into the Bad Lands with a smooth talking car that actually wants to turn him into scrap metal, we're pretty much cheering for Sparky's horrible demise. Unfortunately, the girl car gets chopped to pieces instead while Sparky has some dialogue about responsibility.
"Her horrific death has taught me an important lesson!"
Afterwards, the evil car reveals he had absolutely no motivation for his actions and the cops show up to give him a ticket for driving without a license (they let the whole "murdering a female" thing slide). For some inexplicable reason everyone starts laughing and the credits roll. Though there is an upside: We like to think that at least one toddler was inspired to a life of film-making when they realized they could actually have made a better movie themselves as an infant with no training, only a dim understanding of the differences between still images and reality, a budget of four Cheerios, and the power of imagination instead of a camera.
#1. Titanic: the Animated Movie
So as misguided and downright mean-spirited as it is to try to make some quick cash off the back of bitter childhood disappointment, at least the horrible knockoffs were knocking off movies intended for children.
And then we have the Titanic animated movie, an attempt to jump on board the popularity of a blockbuster without first checking to see if 90 percent of the characters drown horribly at the end. And yet that, friends, is the least bizarre thing about this production. Please take a moment to enjoy this rapping dog:
See, while the main plot loosely follows the story of James Cameron's Titanic (and Cinderella, we suppose), they needed to rework it for the kiddies. So, the rest of the movie is made up of disjointed, nightmarish elements from completely different cartoons, with characters ripped straight out of 101 Dalmatians, Tom and Jerry and Speedy Gonzalez.
The end result is pretty close to what you would get if you randomly taped five minutes of 25 different Saturday morning cartoons, edited them all together and called it Titanic. Despite being only an hour long, it manages to introduce around 35 different characters and about 10 plotlines. And a rapping dog.
Who looks kind of like Sam Elliott.
The boat does sink, long past the point where we are begging for the deaths of everyone involved. But as everyone--including that goddamned dog--is floating in the icy water, a pack of dolphins appears out of nowhere to save them all. Just in time to give all of the children a grossly inaccurate idea of how boating safety works, and to instill in us a sudden appreciation for non-dolphin-safe tuna.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ More than two dozen job openings in the Kansas Department of Revenue could lead to a drop in the collection of delinquent taxes this year.
The Kansas City Star reports (http://bit.ly/YBNAdW ) delinquent tax collections could drop by $18 million _ about 10 percent _ because the department's collection division as 28 unfilled job openings.
The administration is asking the Legislature to raise or impose new fees on delinquent taxpayers to pay to fill those positions.
Revenue officials say the unfilled jobs grew because the department can no longer move people from other areas to collections.
In its current form, the bill before the Legislature would allow the revenue department to fill 12 to 14 positions for collections.

We have a large (10,000 plus) repository of spatial data (shp/gdb/tab vectors and ecw/tif rasters and also las, xyz and DEM data) where some have metadata records in xml using anzlic metadata editor. I want to check if each spatial dataset has an associated xml record and check the projections, spatial extent, source and size against the associated spatial file.
I have created a arcpy based script to extract this info from ESRI readable formats but am unsure on how to handle tab files and more importantly how to check it against the anzlic metaeditor based xml record.
So if we have citypoints.shp/.tab then we should have citypoints_metadata.shp/.tab.xml as the metadata record -this is separate from the citypoints.shp.xml that some software autocreate.
Another similar forum question is ANZLIC Metadata in ArcGIS 10 but it doesn't cover the requirement to check for the existence of a valid record and dealing with .tab (other non-esri) formats in an opensource/creative commons workspace as per my question (http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/13676/how-to-read-mapinfo-tab-files-in-arcpy). I also looked through the software mentioned in Looking for a Metadata Editor but none of them autogenerate the base metadata file or allow comparing of existing records against the source.

I have a tile engine I have made. I can detect collision between the ball(the player) and the tiles. When a collision is detected all the colliding tiles are stored inside a list. My question now is, how do I figure how should I change the velocity of the ball using the collided tiles? I tried to figure out a way to calculate the direction the ball is hitting but I am lost.
The ball's new velocity will be it's incoming velocity reflected about the collision normal. Assuming you already have the normal,
To further get into the pseudo-physics, you might want to add in some damping to the collision response in order to simulate energy lost to heat and sound:
This value,
A final heads up: things will get more complicated if your ball has angular velocity.
If you already have some basic physics knowledge, you just need the normal of the surface collided by the ball and the original speed.
If S is the original speed, N is the normal and Aplha is the angle of those 2 vectors, then if Cos(Alpha) => 0 the ball vector is moving away from the surface and you should let it go.
Otherwise, adding a speed of S*-Cos(Alpha) to the ball in a direction parallel with the surface's Normal will get you a simple rigid bounceback effect.
If it's parallel (Cos == zero) it's your choice to apply any resistance, same goes for any coefficient due to the tiles being elastic or whatever effect you want to add.
Edit: If the ball is colliding with more than 1 surface, just calculate the resulting collision force for each surface, combine them together and you'll get the resulting force.

There is a german website about preppers: http://prepper.de/prepper

I don't know if I'm an average ordinary German person, but
I found this definition:
In German it could be
http://prepper.de/prepper contains also no translation, only explanation of the word. They introduce
I had another idea:
Prepper is a relatively new word in English as well. Therefore it is of little suprise that there is no German equivalent. Given recent language history I bet this will not come up but instead Prepper will stay an English loanword until it has become out of fashion again.
Closest to the main characterisics of a Prepper, and in case we desperately need to translate this word to a German-only expression we may take
