Most often, keeping a band of talented individuals together is the toughest thing in the popular music business. The clash of egos, constant travel and close quarters, conflicting ambitions and just simple personal quirks can make working together a chore for even the best musicians.
That's what makes it so remarkable that Sugar Ray & the Bluetones are grinning their way through their 35th year as a band, with a brand new album just out, and summer full of shows at all the best blues and roots festivals.
Sugar Ray & the Bluetones, fronted by singer and harmonica virtuoso Sugar Ray Norcia, also includes Marshfield's Anthony Geraci on keyboards, Mudcat Ward on bass, Neil Gouvin on drums, and the comparative rookie in the group, in 'only' his fifteenth year, Monster Mike Welch on guitar.
Sugar Ray & the Bluetones will be appearing at several area shows in the coming weeks, including next Saturday (August 9) at the Gloucester Blues Festival, and Sunday August 24 at the North River Blues Festival at the Marshfield Fair. On September 20, they're scheduled to perform at the South Shore Conservatory in Hingham. And if that August itinerary of Gloucester-to-Marshfield seems easy to you, consider that the quintet squeezes a week in Switzerland in between those dates, for like many American roots acts, they are exponentially more popular in Europe.
"Living Tear to Tear," the sixth album for the band on Severn Records, and the eighth overall under the Sugar Ray & the Bluetones monicker, will be released on August 19. The CD's dozen cuts include six originals written by Norcia, and another four penned by band members, but overall it is a superbly arranged modern take on classic Chicago blues. If Muddy Waters was still out there in 2014, he and his band would sound a lot like this--and that's a good thing.
Of course, the quintet is coming off a productive 2013, backing Sugar Ray Rayford on his acclaimed album "Dangerous," (and Rayford will join them for a "Two Sugars" set at the Marshfield fest), and seeing Noricia win two Blues Music Awards and a Grammy nomination for his work on the all-star tribute, "Remembering Little Walter."
"You always like to be yourself," Norcia said when we mentioned that classic Chicago blues comparison, "but I would think anyone could hear a lot of the influence of Willie Dixon's songwriting in my music. And I also think part of that similarity comes because we have also had the same band together so long, just as those Chicago guys did."
"We all celebrate the 35 years together, with that seven year gap in the middle from 1991-98 when I was with Roomful of Blues," said Norcia, from his Rhode Island home. "But the reality is that Neil Gouvin and I have been playing together for forty years or more--we were friends in high school. Mudcat Ward, and Anthony Geraci--my fellow Italian, are like brothers to me. And of course Monster Mike Welch, who we all knew as a teenage guitar phenom, is now 34 years old and in his fifteenth year with us--and still referred to as 'the newbie."
Over those years, and even during some of Norcia's stint fronting Roomful (he appears on three of their best albums), the Bluetones backed a long list of the music's icons. Norcia himself has been on sixty-odd albums, and his bandmates aren't far behind. Ward and geraci, for instance, were with Norcia when the band backed the Grammy-nominated 1999 album "SuperHarps," featuring harmonica aces like Charlie Musselwhite, Billy Branch, and James Cotton.
"After all these years together the communication we have is telepathic," said Norcia. "Take a song like "Misery" on the new CD, which is a good example. That tune doesn't follow a traditional 12-bar blues progression, and it deviates with extra beats here and there. That sort of stuff just happens when I'm singing and playing, and when I'm with these guys, there's no need for even hand signals--they know where I'm going. It's like driving a Cadillac."
Norcia is a Stonington, Connecticut native who gained his first notoriety in the blues scene when he moved to Providence. Before long he and his Bluenotes were house band at a local pub, and soon became the unofficial house band at the old Speakeasy in Cambridge. By that time he'd connected with a young guitarist named Ronnie Horvath, who'd left Boston University to chase his musical dreams, and had not yet become Ronnie Earl.
"Ronnie and Mudcat called my drummer for a gig," said Norcia. "The drummer really dug playing with Ronnie and Mudcat, so he suggested me as a vocalist, and we all gelled right away. Later, we heard Anthony Geraci opening a show for Muddy Waters, and gave him a call. Anthony quit school to go on the road with us. That's the group we had until Ronnie left to join Roomful of Blues."
The Bluetones' guitar slot has been a much admired, very demanding but rewarding position, as Earl was followed by Kid Bangham (now a Carver resident), and Troy Gonyea, before Welch came on board.
It is one of those music business anomalies that despite decades of such excellence, both as performer and bandleader, Norcia, 60, might have achieved his biggest recognition from that tribute album last year, where he stood out even among an all-star lineup of blues harp players.
"Making that record was quite a trip, but I've been playing Little Walter songs since I was 18 years old," said Norcia. "What set Little Walter apart was his sense of innovation: his harmonica playing was so very melodic and fresh, sounding just like a horn section all its own. I have listened to his music over and over again, and what people don't understand--because it is blues--is that his music is so joyful. Nowadays with all the re-issues out there, I love to hear his alternate takes. All of his solos, every single take you hear, are just mind-blowing. I still aspire to be one-tenth the musician Little Walter was."
But if the late Little Walter, who died tragically at 37, favored fresh improvisation on every take, some of his fans aren't that adventurous.
"I have learned to stay away from Little Walter covers in my live shows," Norcia pointed out. "People seem to expect you to play exact covers, just like the records, note-for-note. What we call 'the blues nazis' get upset if you improvise on them, but as I said, you have to be yourself."
Yanking the traditional blues style--we are after all, fifty years past Muddy Waters and Little Walter's heyday--into contemporary music with modern lyrics, is a difficult task. But Norcia has always been able to pen smart and memorable tunes, and since his baritone voice is so versatile he can evoke guttural Muddy Waters one moment, and swinging Cab Calloway the next, he can get them across to a widely divergent audience.
"My songwriting tries to tell a story, and it's usually something that has happened to me," he explained. "An examples from the new CD is "It's Never As Bad As It Looks," which was inspired by a buddy of mine, who became paralyzed, but still has the best attitude about his life. 'Our Story' is another true-life one, kind of a synopsis of the forty years my wife and I have been married. On that tune, I figured that blues songs are always about alcohol and cheating, so why not have a love song, about a relationship that works in spite of all the obstacles a musician's life brings? We're on the road an awful lot, and believe me, it is so nice to come back home."
Norcia noted that the band makes an average of three European jaunts every year, and this summer is packed with music festivals, including events in Ottawa and Toronto recently.

The 5 Most Epic One Man Rampages In the History Of War
#2. Leo "Now You're Just Making It Up" Major
A private in the Regiment de la Chaudiere, Leo Major got his first taste of combat during the Normandy landings, where he single-handedly captured a German half-track and had his left eye burned out with white phosphorus. After successfully arguing that he shouldn't be sent back to Canada, since he only needed his right eye to look down the sights of his rifle (an argument as logically sound as it was existentially terrifying), he kept fighting across France, Belgium and Holland.
With a chin like that, how couldn't he?
In 1945, a Canadian army company was captured while patrolling near the German-held Dutch town of Zwolle. The Canadians decided to bring up the heavy guns and level the whole damn town, but first, they needed to know where the Germans were, and perhaps also to contact the Dutch resistance to see if they would terribly mind being exploded today. Major and a friend, Willie Arsenault, volunteered for the exceptionally dangerous scouting mission inside the town about to be blown to hell.
And then they thought: Fuck that. Why waste a perfectly good town? Wouldn't it be better if they just captured the damn thing themselves while they were down there? Seeing no problem with that plan, they each took a machine gun and waited until nightfall. Under cover of darkness, the two man crept toward the first outpost covering the approach to the town. Unfortunately (for the Germans), the sentry heard them coming and fired at the noise, killing Arsenault.
Bad idea, random Nazi.
The Rampage
Major took the gun out of his dead friend's hands and charged down the whole damn town. He shot the sentry and the guy next to him (and probably the horse they rode in on). The rest of the Germans in the bunker fled, leaving behind a small ammunition dump. Major strapped a captured German machine gun, Arsenault's leftover weapon and his own rifle to his back, then filled a sack with grenades and made his way toward the town center.
You call that "armed"?
He spent the rest of the night ambushing patrols in the town, most of which fled (understandably) from the guy swinging the grenade sack dressed in a jacket made out of machine guns. He found the local SS Headquarters, kicked down the front door and killed most of the death squad inside, then set fire to the Gestapo HQ and continued to hurl grenades at isolated groups of German soldiers until the entire force fled the town. Then Major spent the rest of the morning trying to convince everybody that it was safe to come out; the townsfolk were still all in hiding.
Probably not from the Germans.
"Is he gone?"
#1. James Robinson Ain't Scared of No Fire
The time: April 11, 1966.
The place: Viet-fuckin'-nam.
The plan: Use Robinson and 133 other men of Charlie Company to lure out a Vietcong battalion of 400-plus men.
"Sounds like a fair fight."
The result was the Battle of Xa Cam My, where the plan went catastrophically wrong for Charlie Company. They were pounded by both their own artillery and the surrounding enemy forces, with no reinforcements on the horizon. Robinson, being generally just kind of awesome, ran around the battlefield killing snipers with a grenade launcher, rescuing wounded medics and soldiers (while suffering multiple gunshot wounds of his own), and distributing the dwindling supplies of water and ammunition. Then an enemy machine gun opened fire into the American defensive circle, causing heavy casualties.
"Hey Jim? This whole 'war' thing kind of sucks ass, doesn't it?"
The Rampage
Despite his wounds and complete lack of ammunition, Robinson made a beeline for the Vietnamese machine-gunner with a grenade in each hand. Most of these stories involve an insane, lone charge against overwhelming odds and in spite of grievous, life-threatening wounds. And in that respect, Robinson's tale is no different, save for one key element: During his one-man suicide charge, Robinson was set on fucking fire.
Pictured: Fucking fire.
He was shot in the leg (again), except this time with a tracer round that somehow ignited his pants. Tearing off the burning garment, he continued to advance -- a pant-less, burning god of vengeance -- toward the Vietnamese machine-gunner. He was shot twice more in the chest (making that five bullet wounds, if you weren't keeping count) but marshaled his fleeting strength to hurl his explosives into the enemy, silencing the machine gun and saving dozens of American lives.
Damn. War sure seems to involve a lot more insanity, fire and man-nudity than the history books tell us.

Suppose $L/K$ and $M/K$ are algebraic extensions of a field $K$, such that $L\cap M=K$, and $L/K$ is a normal extension. It is well-known that, with these conditions, we have:
$$\text{Gal}(L/K)\cong \text{Gal}(LM/M).$$
However, suppose we now complicate matters by specifying that $M/K$ (and hence also $LM/L$) is not algebraic but transcendental ($L/K$ remaining normal). In this case, am I right in thinking that this identity still holds?
If not, can anyone provide a counterexample, or is there an obvious reason why this doesn't work? What if we specify that $K$ has characteristic zero?

It seems some Area51ers like to be active in a proposal's questions (as in composing questions, commenting, and voting) without following it.
Wouldn't following be the most basic involvement in a proposal, and then asking and voting on questions would be for those a little bit more engaged?
For example the Ebay proposal (actually, ahem, one of mine) has added no followers in two days but ten questions and plenty of voting and comments.
I am not criticising, and I'm glad of the interest in the questions. Just wondering.

Franklin prevents Oak Creek from clinching GMC title, 5-4
They can't break out the Greater Metro Conference baseball championship t-shirts in Oak Creek just yet.
Franklin's Austin Meyer got on four times and Brett Hart's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the sixth scored Tyler Gentz with what proved to be the winning run in a 5-4 decision for the Sabers over the Knights Monday night.
"It's a good old-fashioned Oak Creek win," chuckled the rightfielder Meyer, whose flare single in the bottom of the sixth, his third hit of the night, sent Gentz to third with one out and set up Hart's sac fly. "I was just looking for a pitch that I could do something with and I got it."
With the win, the Sabers stayed in third place in the GMC at 8-5 (15-5 overall). They have now won seven games in a row and five in a row since top player Evan Kruczynski left for college.
"Now go figure that one out," said veteran Franklin coach Jim Hughes.» Read Full Article
Oak Creek man charged after police find 87 pot plants
An Oak Creek man was charged with felony marijuana manufacture after police found 87 marijuana plants, an assault rifle magazine and other ammunition in his home, according to a criminal complaint.
The charge, filed Thursday against Saul Ernesto Vasquez, 34, carries a maximum prison term of 12 1/2 years.
Officers obtained a search warrant and entered the home, in the 2100 block of W. Hope Lane, on June 16 after a neighbor called police expressing concern that the resident might be injured or dead, the complaint says.
Vasquez was convicted of another felony drug offense in a 1997 case in Milwaukee County, the complaint says.

Falls bounces back with 7-4 road win at Oak Creek
Menomonee Falls shortstop and ace relief pitcher Brett Krause must love Oak Creek's Abendshein Field.
Last year, he hit an extra inning home run to beat the Knights there and on Tuesday night, with the Indian baseball team coming off a discouraging home loss to underdog West Allis Central the night before, he came up big again, closing out a 7-4 upset of the defending state champion Knights with two sometimes harrowing innings of relief work.
How harrowing? After a stunning 12-pitches, three strikeouts-looking effort in the sixth, Krause was a fighter backed into a corner in the seventh after a walk, a towering flare that dropped into no-man's land and a soft liner loaded the bases with none out.
How did he react?
"That was kind of fun actually," he said.» Read Full Article

Cudahy schools lockdown was result of suicide, police say
A person was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound Friday inside a home in Cudahy in an incident that forced lock-downs at two nearby elementary schools and the closure of a five-block stretch of E. Grange Avenue.

Police closed Grange Avenue between Lake Drive and Packard Avenue and officers from several other suburban departments were called for assistance.

This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Assuming this question is related to Wordpress, here is answer :- You can update the titles directly into your mySQL database using simple update function.
Using some conditional statements as I mentioned in this code, you can restrict the update for particular user(replace 'user_id').
This will transform all post titles into lowercase by that user.
WP Title Case plugin would a much simpler solution. It automatically transforms titles across your website to show proper case.

Finding Articles
Article Types
Articles can contain news, in-depth analysis, or the findings of a scientific study. Articles are found in a variety of publications. These publications are often referred to as serials or periodicals because they are published on a regular schedule, whether annually, monthly, weekly, or daily. The number of articles available on a given subject will depend on how recently events related to this topic have taken place.
Popular Magazine Articles
You are probably familiar with magazines like Time, Vogue, Wired, Essence, and so on. These magazines are referred to as "popular magazines." Popular magazines provide general information on topics of interest to a wide audience. The articles are typically written by journalists or writers who may or may not have any expertise in the article's topic.
They also have some characteristics that make them easily identifiable in print or online. Articles in popular magazines rarely contain citations or footnotes to sources, and they undergo a limited editorial review. Popular magazines can be a good source for general information on current topics.
Professional Trade Magazines & Technical Articles
Professional trade magazines and journals are aimed at specific professional audiences. The American Psychological Association Monitor, American Scholar, and Science are examples of professional journals.
Articles in these publications are often written by practitioners or professionals who have at least some background in or experience with the topics. The articles tend to cover current issues of interest to the profession and may contain terminology familiar to the profession. Professional journals are usually published monthly and they often include citations to source materials.
Scholarly or Scientific Journal Articles
Scholarly or scientific journals present primary accounts of original research or in-depth analysis of a topic. Scholarly journal articles are written by researchers, scholars, or practitioners who are considered experts in their field. The articles are aimed at other researchers or experts so the language used is often highly technical and may be difficult for an outside or inexperienced researcher to understand.
Scholarly journals are also referred to as "peer-reviewed," "blind peer-reviewed," or "refereed" journals due to the rigorous review process that articles go through before they are accepted and published by the journal. You can often tell an article is scholarly by the extensive bibliography, the credentials or affiliation of the author, and the inclusion of technical graphs, charts, and diagrams.
See How Do I Distinguish Different Types of Journals to view a concise table outlining the criteria of each type of journal.

Bert Matlock
Bert Francis Matlock, age 89, a longtime resident of Boyds, passed away on June 24, 2011 at his home. Bert was born on May 10, 1922 in Marshall, OK, the son of Noah Coleman and Nora Ann (Neuner) Matlock.Bert was raised in Marshall, Oklahoma where he attended school. At the age of 15, he made his first visit to Northeastern Washington and was lured back at age 17 to work in the timber industry. Bert then followed his brothers to Alaska for a time. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy and began active service on Jan. 3, 1943 with the Seabees. He was honorably discharged on Dec. 24, 1945 and returned to Boyds, , where he met Opal Emmaline Carson. Their courtship led to a 61-year marriage that began on April 9, 1950. They started a family and began a cattle ranch in the Deadman Creek area. Bert always worked off of the ranch to help make ends meet. He worked in both the woods and in the lumber mills and in 1959 began work for the U.S. Forest Service. Bert retired in 1985. He had a strong work ethic and always started his day with ranch chores, including milking cows, and finished his day the same way. Bert was a steward of his animals, giving great attention in their care. In September 1967 he relocated his family to their current farm just north of Boyds. There, he continued to raise his large family and even larger vegetable and flower garden. He and Opal have resided there for the past 43 years.Driving country roads and reading western paperbacks were two of his most enjoyable pastime activities. He taught his family the value of hard work, land stewardship, and that caring for your family took precedence over all else. He believed that cutting your own wood "warmed you twice", that hot chocolate was essential on fall woodcutting trips, and that carrying a tune in your heart was better when shared with a whistle. He could often be heard whistling while he was carrying out his daily chores. He was a beloved grandfather who enjoyed his grandchildren's' activities and cherished their visits to the farm.

5 Overused Twist Endings It's Time For Movies to Retire
The twist ending is Hollywood shorthand for when you need to give people a reason to tell their friends about this incredible movie or episode of a TV show they have to see because the ending is just mind-blowing ("Dude, you'll never see it coming!" "Well, I will now").
But the drive to make sure every story has a mindfuck twist means that often we see the same ones over and over again, regardless of whether or not they make any sense whatsoever. So maybe it's time to retire these five ...
#5. It Turns Out Everyone Is Long-Lost Family
Seen In:
Lost, Heroes, The Terminator, the Star Wars franchise, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Glee, at least one recent video game
"I am your father." Boom -- you hear that phrase, or one like it, and you instantly know that the whole game has changed, baby.
Star Wars is probably the most iconic example of this twist, of course -- there is an entire generation that remembers the initial shock of watching that scene in The Empire Strikes Back, and then another a few years later when we found out that Luke and Leia were siblings in Return of the Jedi (and then there was the uneasy feeling when we were rooting around in the refrigerator hours later and suddenly remembered that they totally made out in the previous film, and we couldn't decide if that was gross or only made it hotter).
Then we'd remember this and pass out in the potato salad.
For a writer, it's an easy way to raise the stakes -- these characters suddenly have a whole new, deeper connection you didn't even know about.
Why It Ruins Stories:
This twist tends to come up more often in a series (either TV or movie franchises), and usually it's something thrown in at the last minute (honestly, would Lucas have played up the sexual tension between Luke and Leia so much if he had known from the start that they were brother and sister? For his benefit, let's assume not). And worse, it's usually something they come back to repeatedly.
For TV writers, for example, it's become a go-to twist to drop in at the end of an episode. And in shows that are built on twists, this becomes an issue when they've pulled this one out of the bag every six episodes and by the fourth season everybody is related. We're not exaggerating, by the way -- just look at Lost. Claire and Jack turn out to be half-siblings. Daniel Faraday is also half-siblings with Penny. That creepy Horace guy turns out to be creepy Ethan's dad. The only two Asian characters introduced after the first season turn out to be father and son.
ABC Studios
Thankfully they dropped their planned "they're brothers and brothers" reveal.
In fact, one of the biggest shocks of the series comes when John Locke discovers that a man who he thought was his dad was just trying to scam him out of a kidney -- they had so many surprise relatives in this universe that the twists came from the fact that two characters weren't related. Heroes fell into this pattern, too -- Hayden Panettiere's character is Nathan Petrelli's daughter, then Meredith Gordon's daughter, then Flint's niece (and if you don't know who any of these people are because you stopped watching after the first season, that's a good sign).
Universal Television
The last season involved an evil super-carnival ... seriously.
It's bad storytelling for the same reason the Star Wars prequels were bad (well, one of the reasons): Each new connection makes the universe of the show or movie smaller. Finding out that Darth Vader built C-3PO makes it seem like everything in that vast universe revolves around a few families and friends. It's the same in any story where it's abused -- characters who meet in a cool chance encounter turn out to be long-lost brothers or some shit, because this rich fictional landscape is actually made up of just one very unlucky family.
#4. The Entire Plot Was Just an Incredibly Complicated Ruse
Paramount Pictures
Seen In:
The Dark Knight, The Tourist, The Game, Matchstick Men, Lucky Number Slevin, Shutter Island
So you're wrapped up in the movie, enthralled as the plot takes you through all sorts of exciting turns, until it appears that the heroes are on the verge of accomplishing their goal. But then, surprise! It turns out that absolutely everything that has occurred so far has been part of somebody's elaborate ruse! That's right: Everything -- including all the shit that seemed to happen by random accident -- was deliberately set up like a Rube Goldberg machine by some mastermind.
Sometimes it's the entire story that turns out to be a charade, such as in Shutter Island, where the audience spends the entire film thinking Leo DiCaprio is a cop who has come to an insane asylum to solve a missing-persons case, only to find out at the end that everything that occurred -- the fights, the conversations with witnesses, the clues -- were part of an orchestrated plot by the hospital staff in order to cure him (did we mention that Leo is a patient, and not a cop at all?).
Paramount Pictures
"Medical degree? What's that?"
We would refer to Shutter Island as the world's most convoluted psychological intervention, but that title still belongs to The Game, a film in which Michael Douglas is chased, shot at, nearly drowned, and stranded, only to find out in a shocking twist that it was all part of a "game" orchestrated by his brother to cure his depression.
Universal Studios
Which makes him almost as much of a dick as the real Sean Penn.
But then there is the scaled-back and somewhat less stupid version of this that plays out in half of the blockbuster action movies these days. In The Dark Knight, The Avengers, and Skyfall, the heroes go to great lengths to finally capture the villain, only to find out that everything up to that point -- including the chase, the capture, and every impromptu decision made by the protagonists -- was all part of a carefully orchestrated plan.
Why It Ruins Stories:
Generally you can identify a good twist by how it holds up when you watch the movie again. Does it still make sense the second time around, full of little hints and foreshadowing you didn't catch the first time? Or does it make the whole thing seem kind of ridiculous and tacked on when you realize that any one of a thousand variables could have thwarted the whole thing? ("So the whole plan would have been ruined if the train had been running five minutes late?!?")
Warner Bros.
He's really putting a lot of faith in his ability to get a signal in a dude's small intestine.
This is the problem with universally hated twists like "It was a dream all along!" Once you know that, the whole thing seems pointless in retrospect -- even remembering the story is pointless, since you're remembering something that didn't happen. Well, to some degree, "Your entire reality was actually a carefully orchestrated charade!" is another version of that -- it often renders everything that came before it moot.
Like in Matchstick Men, in which professional confidence man Nicolas Cage is forced to reunite with his long-lost daughter. He's caught between his immoral criminal lifestyle and the desire to be a good role model for his little girl. Eventually, he learns how to be a dad -- that's the point of the character and the story. But then (TWIST!) at the last minute he finds out she's not his daughter, but another con artist. Oh, and his best friend is in on it. And his psychiatrist. Together, they faked Cage's entire life and took us through a whole dramatic arc, just to get at his bank account details.
Warner Bros.
"Shit, I hope that Nigerian prince hasn't wired me his funds yet."
But there's also the fact that unless it's amazingly well written, it stretches the limits of what we're capable of believing. The complexity of these cons requires its architects to program the entire world down to the smallest detail, including factors the bad guy had no control over. What if one of the Gotham cops had just shot the Joker instead of arresting him? What if the Avengers didn't have the Hulk on board the flying aircraft carrier, and instead had him out on some mission? In Shutter Island, Leo's character is mentally ill -- by definition, that should have made it impossible to predict his every move (and adjust their charade accordingly), right?
Paramount Pictures
"OK, slight change of plans, as he's decided to take a break to masturbate in the woods and talk to some squirrels."
Again, it's great while you're watching it -- but usually it's when you're thinking about it later that you start to realize the writers weren't really playing fair. And then it's too late to get a refund.
#3. The Extra-Good Guy Is Evil
Columbia Pictures
Seen In:
The Da Vinci Code, The Dark Knight Rises, Dollhouse, Veronica Mars, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Oh no! The nicest, kindest, least likely to commit theft/murder/genocide-iest one of the bunch turned out to be the most evil! And the one we thought was evil was just a puppet! How could we have seen this coming?
We couldn't -- obviously the point is to throw the viewer off the trail as hard as possible. The Dark Knight Rises worked so hard to play up Bane as the ultimate supervillain that there's no way you could have known that the real threat was Bruce Wayne's dainty lover and colleague Miranda Tate.
Warner Bros.
"And that burning when you pee? That was me, too."
This happens repeatedly in the Harry Potter franchise: In the first film, we're distracted by Snape's assholery, so we don't think to pin crimes on the least plausible (and actual) perpetrator, the sheepish and feeble Professor Quirrell.
Electronic Arts
Depicted in the video game as an anthropomorphic purple dildo.
Then it happens again in Goblet of Fire, when the good-hearted tough guy and Harry Potter protector Mad-Eye Moody turns out to be an imposter who managed to keep up the ruse for almost a year (including fooling people who had known the guy he was impersonating for decades).
Why It Ruins Stories:
This twist becomes a problem when it undoes all of the character development that came before, and thus invalidates the amount of time we spent with that person. Bruce Wayne's entire character arc in DKR is about overcoming his fear and rising to Bane's challenge ... only to find out Bane was never the problem.
Warner Bros.
But punches were always the solution.
And sometimes the effort to throw us off the scent is downright cartoonish. In The Da Vinci Code, we meet Leigh Teabing, the charming, generally harmless Ian McKellen. He's got a gentle British accent, for chrissakes! But two hours later, he's the one pulling all the strings on the psychotic villains. It's fun for a momentary thrill, but that's also two hours of character development we just flushed down the toilet. Everything the film did to endear us to the character was only to set up the cheap twist.
Columbia Pictures
"And that burning when you pee? That was me, too."
But TV can be an even worse offender, especially when (once again) it becomes clear that the writers made it up on the fly. In Veronica Mars (the series with such a devoted cult following that its fans donated $5.7 million to keep it going), the perpetually sheepish Cassidy Casablancas spent two seasons as a shy, victimized high schooler before a sudden twist revealed him to have been the perpetrator of every bad thing that had happened up to that point. Suddenly he was a rapist and a psychopath who ran a school bus off the road and blew up a plane in midair. That's two seasons -- 44 hours -- of character development completely discarded, all in service to one shocking reveal.
The problem with this is that we feel like we wasted our time, because it doesn't change what we know about the character -- instead it tells us a character never existed and introduces a new villain played by the same actor.

Grand County voters elected to retain incumbent James Newberry as Grand County commissioner for a fifth four-year term in the county office.
Newberry defeated challenger Chas McConnell, who throughout election tallies kept within a few hundred votes of Newberry.
The race between Newberry and McConnell of the Fraser Valley district was at times heated, with McConnell calling for commissioner term limits to prevent candidates like Newberry from securing a seat for as long as he has. During debate moments, the two sparred on several topics, such as economic development, water, and the role of the county's attorney.
A high school sports coach besides his career as commissioner, Newberry won the election in spite of McConnell's campaign spending about 15 times more than Newberry's.
Newberry has built a reputation as being an ambassador for the county's water resources. Newberry highlighted the county's progress on water issues, its response to the landfill landslide, and its ability to "run a tight efficient government" as possible reasons why the election tipped in his favor. His long record, he said, "speaks for itself."
"At the end of the day, I had people who believed in me and supported me, and I had to put up a fight for that," Newberry said of the hard-run campaign. "What was disturbing about this election was how negative and polarized it got," he said, adding it was the most difficult campaign season of his long-standing political career.
He spent election evening in Denver at a coach's meeting in preparation for the upcoming basketball season, and said on Wednesday he was grateful he was at the meeting doing something "constructive" rather than nervously watching the numbers change.
"I enjoy this job, because it feels like you can get something done," he said. "Local government is the most efficient and effective form of government. I enjoy people calling me up and saying I got an issue here, and what can we do to get it worked out, and I enjoy getting it worked out."
Will this be the final term for Newberry? He didn't say, but did hint the possibility of someday running for a state office.
During the candidate debate in October, Newberry had closed out the event with a statement of gratitude for the community he has served over the past 16 years, touching on the subject of the sudden loss of his college-aged son Alex less than a decade ago.
"You don't really understand what Grand County brings to the table until you've experienced a loss in your family and how this community comes together and bats for you," the veteran commissioner said. "I will forever repay this county for the blessings they have given to me and my family."
The final unofficial count at around 2 a.m. Wednesday was 4,038 votes to 3,690 votes, with 313 more voters who cast ballots but did not vote that race.
It wasn't the first time McConnell had thrown in his hat. He was defeated in 2008 as a write-in candidate for the same commissioner's office.
This time around, he ran an enthusiastic 11-month campaign in an effort to bring change to District 1. The challenger spent his Election Day evening at Maverick's Grille in Granby with Republican supporters, but did not learn about the race's outcome until about 4 a.m. after he'd been asleep at home.
"Obviously I'm disappointed," McConnell said much later on Wednesday morning. "I'd like to thank everybody who supported me. I'm proud of our positive campaign and the fact so many important issues have been brought to the forefront as a result of this campaign. I urge this new board of county commissioners to find the appropriate results to best address our economy, our water, our landfill situation and our transportation needs," he said. "Now is the time for strong leadership."
McConnell focused on the positives of a democratic process in spite of his loss: "The election process was fantastic, I loved it," he said.
"I learned a lot and I met people I would have never met before. I've driven thousands of miles around Grand County and literally met thousands of people through the process. I thoroughly enjoyed it."
And will he try for the seat again someday? McConnell stated neither yes nor no, but that he needed "some time to digest what happened and how it happened," and that for now, he plans to continuing running his McConnell Printing business in Winter Park and spend much-needed time with his wife Ann and their two children.
At about 11 p.m. Election Day night, it became clear the race between Merrit Linke and Robb Rankin in District 2 would go to Linke, with an estimated 500 or so ballots still outstanding, but the margin too wide for Rankin to close the gap.
A Grand County native, Middle Park High School graduate, former teacher and a local business owner, Linke ran a straight-forward campaign touting "It's no bull."
"I'd like to thank all the people who supported me, especially the Grand County conservatives and Republicans, all the people who helped me with the whole process," Linke said when reached Wednesday morning. Like McConnell, Linke had spent part of Election Day evening at Maverick's Bar and Grille in Granby at an event hosted by the Republican Party. He learned of his victory much later in the night while at home with wife Teri.
"Now the work begins," Linke said. "I'm going to try to do the best I can in supporting the people of Grand County the way they supported me." He listed water, the county landfill and the economy as top three Grand County issues concerning his constituents.
About the county's estimated $21 million in reserves, the county's newest commissioner had said in a candidate debate he would not encourage any capital projects, saying he would be conservative with reserves to be prepared for lower assessed values and less revenue to the county. He also talked of the need for government to help facilitate "resource-based businesses," or products made here in Grand County and exported.
Upon his win, he pledged to analyze situations "objectively and make the best decisions possible as I come forward."
Linke commended Rankin for a cordial District 2 race. "I do appreciate my opponent who ran a very professional race; each of us became better candidates because of the competition."
Linke fills the seat of two-term commissioner Nancy Stuart, who was defeated in the Republican primary.
Linke's challenger Rankin had spent the evening of Election Day at home with wife Molly. "I congratulate Merrit," he said at around 11:30 p.m. "We at least showed that politics don't have to be nasty. I'm glad we had an election here in Grand County other than a Republican primary," he continued. "He'll be a better commissioner because of it, and I learned a lot in the process."
Rankin, former superintendent of schools at East Grand School District, said he likely will continue working for the Boulder Valley School District in helping out in its human resources department. "I'll play retiree," he said, "ski some and still keep busy working with them."
The final unofficial vote count for District 2 was 4,515 votes for Linke to 3,073 votes for Rankin, with 451 more voters who cast ballots, but did not vote that race.
A total 8,077 voters cast ballots in Grand County's 2012 election, with slightly more than 200 provisional ballots yet to be counted on Nov. 15. It seemed the voter turnout was "very impressive," according to Grand County Clerk and Recorder Sara Rosene, but she plans to check past numbers to verify.
Linke and Newberry start their new terms in the early part of January.

The Saudi-American relationship is a strong and special one. It has been so for over half a century: since President Roosevelt and King Abdulaziz met during World War Two. The two countries share interests critically important to both as well as to the international community. We have always reached agreement on a broad and significant range of issues. Excellent working relations exist between officials of both countries at all levels. That close cooperation will continue. When there might be a difference on a particular point, we still have the same underlying objective. And we sort out the immediate matter through close consultation. Almost always, we come to an agreement that serves both countries.
With regard to security questions, the subject is important and sensitive. It cannot be worked out through the media. In any case, Saudi security agencies are responsible for any crime that takes place on sovereign Saudi soil and are doing a superb job, as Saudi Arabia's long-established international reputation for firm and vigorous law enforcement attests. When all investigative procedures have been thoroughly brought to a conclusion, the results will be made public by Saudi authorities.
Saudi Arabia is not accusing or absolving anyone yet as to the tragic events in its Eastern Province last summer. It would be premature to accuse or absolve anyone until the investigation is completed.

5 Ways People Are Trying to Save the World (That Don't Work)
#2. Using Antibacterial Soap
Why People Do It:
Bacteria makes us sick. The only way for us (and our precious children) to stay healthy is to kill the fuckers. We're, uh, referring to the bacteria there, not the precious children.
These days you can get antibacterial anything: hand soap, dish soap, hand lotion, edible panties, gun oil. We'll have those bacteria eradicated in no time!
Why They Shouldn't:
Nature is a funny thing. Not "knock-knock joke" funny, but "horrifying death preceded by agonizing suffering" funny. The thing about biology is that while it is really easy to kill a lot of something, it's a lot harder to kill all of something. And the survivors tend to be a lot tougher and pissed off.
Thus, there is concern that the stronger bacteria will become resistant as the weaker bacteria are killed off by our shelves of antibacterial products, leaving only the resistant ones behind. Darwinism works its magic.
Bacteria. Maybe.
This has already happened with the staphylococcus bacteria, which have developed strains that laugh at penicillin like Superman laughs at bullets, except Superman won't cause you to develop pus-filled boils and kill you afterward.
If the idea of super germs isn't scary enough, it turns out the same chemicals we're using to try and kill those germs may actually be making us sick as well. The active ingredient in antibacterial soap is now thought to have the potential to affect sex hormones and the nervous system both. In fact, the chemicals causing the concern have been found in the urine of 75 percent of people, which means the poison is probably in your wiener right now.
If all this still isn't ironic enough for you, then consider that getting rid of all those bacteria may actually be worse for us in the long run. Scientists believe that kids who are kept in sterile environments develop more allergies. The theory is that these kids are not exposed to the germs and their immune systems never develop the natural resistance to them. Basically it means our immune systems are playing Dungeons & Dragons instead of pumping iron and taking Karate and banging hot chicks.
The final nail in this comedy of errors and mixed metaphors is that studies found that using antibacterial soap is no better than using regular soap. Just one more marketing gimmick.
#1. Buying Carbon Offsets
Why People Do It:
Unless you think it would be awesome to have have Earth turn into freaking Tatooine, you're probably in favor of stopping global warming.
Carbon offsets are supposed to make you carbon neutral, by paying to have someone else reduce their carbon dioxide output in an amount equal to the amount you are putting into the air with your decadent, Hummer-driving lifestyle.
Why They Shouldn't:
At the end of the day, much like buying your girlfriend a bracelet after a night in the champagne room, it's debatable whether you are doing anything except paying to clear your own guilty conscience.
Because I love you?
You're buying a promise from someone else that they are going to reduce their own carbon emissions by a certain amount. The trouble is that currently there is no standard or authority that monitors the offsets.
Investigations found that often, people buying offsets have bought worthless promises. Even when the company offering the offset follows through, there still might not be any additional benefit because the company who took your credits was already planning to reduce its emissions anyway.
They couldn't design a functional one that looked like a middle finger, but they wanted to.
Take, for example, the company that sold carbon offsets based on a plan to reduce methane gas at a landfill. It sounded great until investigations revealed that the methane reduction plan was in place long before the offsets were sold. That part of the plan is all well and good, but it completely destroys the whole concept of buying and selling carbon offsets. Nothing was being "offset."
Man, if we can't trust a painless "something for nothing" scheme to save the world, what can we trust?

The purpose of preseason scrimmages is to gauge your team's readiness for the upcoming season's play. Following the Pratt Community College women's basketball scrimmage against Bethel College Monday evening, head coach Stephanie Thompson believed her team still had plenty to work on in the final remaining practices before the season starts for real on Friday.
Not that the Lady Beavers didn't win the scrimmage, they did—72-63. It was more the WAY they played rather than the outcome that concerned Coach Thompson. "We were not solid on defense," Thompson observed. "On offense, we looked like we were playing too much 'street ball' ".
Bethel led for the first 5 minutes, scoring repeatedly off backdoor cuts. "We didn't move our feet on defense," Thompson explained.
PCC took their first lead of the night on an 'and-one' by Tatiana Grant followed by a Lanina Spence 3-ball. 11-9 Beavers. As the Lady Beavers offense heated up, Bethel was able to keep pace mostly from the free throw line. "We fouled too much, we were reaching and grabbing instead of moving our feet," said Thompson.
With 7:00 to go in the first half, the score was knotted at 23. Down the stretch, Bethel went into a zone. Karissa Pena cashed in, hitting treys from the wing on successive possessions. PCC went to the locker room up 37-33.
In the second half, Bethel closed up the deficit and the game was 41-40 at the 15:00 mark. From that point, PCC had probably their best offensive stretch of the evening. To begin, Grant and Sherry Calhoun executed the pick-and-roll. On the next possession, Calhoun converted a nice post move inside. Then Grant hit two FT after getting fouled in transition off a steal by Shanell Dedrick. Grant then drove the lane for 2, and then Elle Stein knocked down a pair of charity tosses after getting fouled on the block. "Our offense clicks when do our system," Thompson mentioned. "We get good looks when we run our offense."
Meanwhile, Bethel could only manage a few points and PCC had opened up a 51-44 lead by midway through the final period. The rest of the game was played on fairly even terms. Whenever the Threshers tried to make a run, a Lady Beaver would make a big play to give the momentum back to Pratt.
For example, Dedrick and Stein worked the pick-and-roll and Kari Devlin converted an old-fashioned 3-point play to help keep Bethel at bay. When time ran out, Pratt was up 72-63.
"We have the potential to be good," Coach Thompson concluded after the scrimmage was over. "We're not very deep, so we have to quit fouling so much. We also need more scoring out of our bigs if we're going to compete with the better teams."
Page 2 of 2 - The Lady Beavers will tip off the season this weekend with an event at Hutchinson where they will play Labette at 1:30 on Friday and Kansas Wesleyan at 1:30 on Saturday.

Anyone know of a good tutorial (or have a good example) for writing XML using the SAX framework (or something similar) and Java? Searching has yielded very little in terms of useful results. I'm trying to export from an Android app and am looking to avoid as much memory overhead as possible.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
There's a very useful technique for generating XML directly from POJOs via the SAX framework (not a SAX parser, but the SAX framework). This technique could be used to generate an XML document.
Generating XML from an Arbitrary Data Structure
Essentially, you add methods to your POJO or write utility class for your POJOs that turn them into SAX event emitters (emitting events like a SAX parser normally would when parsing an XML document). Now your "SAX event generator" looks like the output side of a SAX parser and can be given any content handler that a SAX parser would take, such as one that pretyy prints XML. But it could also be feed to a DOM parser to generate a DOM tree or feed to an XSLT engine to generate HTML or do a true XSL translation without having to first generate an intermediate XML document from the POJOs.
For example, a Person class might have an
A couple of other references:
A couple of responses to comments:
Yes, but I guess I wasn't clear. I could easy traverse the hierarchy and use
For example, on our program, we sent XML messages over network sockets between distributed components and we also used XSLT to generate our HTML pages. Previously, we traversed our hierarchy to generate a XML document (a string) and then either wrote that XML document to a network socket or fed that document to the XSLT engine (which essentially just parsed it again). After using this technique, we could essentially feed our object hierarchy (using this SAX adapter) directly to the XSLT engine without needing the intermediate XML string. It was also convenient to be able to use one content handler to generate a compact XML representation for the network stream and use a different one to generate a pretty-printed XML document for writing to a log file.
Perhaps, but I think it depends on your needs. If OP's requirement is just to write out an a specific XML document, then this is definitely overkill. However, I thought it worth mentioning if the OP uses XML in other ways on his project that he didn't mention. There's no harm in pitching an alternative idea.
Calling it misuse may be a bit strong, but I agree you're entitled to your opinion. Its documented in an Oracle tutorial, so its not considered abuse by the Sun/Oracle engineers. It was highly successful on our project to help us meet our requirements with no significant downsides, so I'll be keeping this approach in my toolbox for when its useful in the future.
SAX parsing is for reading documents, not writing them.
You can write XML with the XMLStreamWriter:
Also consider JAXB to write/ read XML.
Please refer to my personal blog post: XML Generation In Java - specifically, The SAX method. It references a few other articles concerning this, provides a concrete example, and compares SAX with the other popular APIs for generating XML from Java.
(Realized this is an older question, but felt it necessary to add this for anyone else that may have the same question.)
Below answers "a good tutorial for writing XML using the SAX parser and Java" part of question
I am not sure if you have gone through this. But I really like Java's Really Big Index of Everything.

Nobody knows the bar scene like Sara Havens. In fact, she's built a solid reputation and written a book about her nightlife know-how.
By day, Havens is the managing editor of LEO Weekly, but once the clock strikes happy hour, the Ohio native turns into The Bar Belle, a moniker she adopted in 2006 when she began writing about her evening adventures for the Louisville publication.
Havens' humorous, candid columns were so popular she decided to publish a book featuring her top 100 pieces from 2006 to 2010 (along with a foreword by Congressman John Yarmuth). Thus far, the reception has been overwhelmingly positive.
The Voice-Tribune sat down with the author, who allowed us to fire away with questions – and even offered to buy us a drink.
"The Bar Belle" book is available at Carmichael's Bookstores, Regalo Gifts and Amazon.com. Connect with Sara online at www.facebook.com/barbellebook.
What's your preferred cocktail?
Bourbon on the rocks. A good bourbon. Woodford (Reserve) and Maker's Mark.
Where is your favorite watering hole?
I see all the bars as members of my family. I don't like to pick any over the other, but I do have a long-standing Thursday happy hour at the Back Door.
How long is long-standing?
Twelve years.
How do people react when they meet you?
Most say, "We thought you were going to be some crazy drunk girl," but I'm actually pretty shy. I've got people who want to hang out with me, but I'm like, I'm going to let them down.
What's the best way to get service at a busy bar?
Don't snap or hit the bar. I like to at least have my money out. Don't wave it around. Just kind of make eye contact.
Where did you have your first drink – legally?
It was in college. … I'd seen a commercial for Bud Ice, so I ordered a Bud Ice. It was gross. Then went through a Zima phase. And then I ran out of money, so I turned to crap beers.
Any advice for those of us who like to imbibe on occasion?
Turn your phone off after a certain point. It's gotten me in trouble so many times. If I put you in my phone you should have to sign a waiver that anything that comes out after midnight you have to ignore.
What's the worst drunk text you've ever sent?
I think I booty-called someone.
If you weren't a writeR-editor, what would you be doing?
I think I might like doing PR (public relations). I wanted to be a marine biologist until I figured out lots of science was involved. Or maybe a bartender.
Any last words?
Know your limit. If you don't, then have friends that do. Be responsible. Take a taxi or CityScoot. … At CityScoot, they know me by first name. (Contact CityScoot, a service that gets you and your car home safely, at 502.566.6384.)

Though it sounds like a bit far off right now, AMVETS Post 275 Commander Dan Wilson notes that 2013 will likely fly by like all the others.
And there's no time like the present to be pro-active. In that respect, Ohio Persian Gulf-era veterans, Wilson said, can apply for the Ohio Veterans Bonus through the Dec. 31, 2013, deadline and access information through the Ohio Veterans Bonus website.
Persian Gulf veterans who served in other than a training status from Aug. 2, 1990, and March 3, 1991, have until Dec. 31 to file for the bonus.
This is the first eligibility date that will come up under the latest bonus period, according to Wilson. Veterans can use the Ohio Department of Veterans Service Eligibility Tool to determine if they are eligible and read all the latest information at veteransbonus.ohio.gov/odvs.
If veterans need assistance in determining their eligibility, they can contact their local Veterans Service Office in all 88 Ohio counties or contact AMVETS Post 275 by phone at (740) 317-8646 or by e-mail at email@example.com.
"Our network will be glad to help," Wilson said.
"We want to make sure everyone that is eligible during the Persian Gulf era is aware of the date. Once the date has passed, Persian Gulf veterans won't be eligible any more," he emphasized.

Super Bowl MVP Flacco Gets His Prize: A C7 'Vette
February 5th, 2013
My intent was to leave the Super Bowl alone. I'm not much for carrying on hype, but I forgot about one very important part of the game: the Super Bowl MVP's prize.
As though the elevation to elite status in the league, the Lombardi trophy, the adoration of millions and the guarantee of a multi-year, multi-million dollar contract weren't enough, MVP Joe Flacco got something else.

5 World Changing Decisions (Made for Ridiculous Reasons)
#2. The Motion Picture Was Invented on a Bet
Before Thomas Edison or the Brothers Lumiere, the first guy to ever shoot consecutive images and show them in motion was Eadward Muybridge, who called his invention by the slightly less catchy name of zoopraxiscope.
The development of the zoopraxiscope took Muybridge almost 10 years and was delayed by a complicated personal situation (namely his wife being boned by another dude), but his love of science was stronger than any obstacle and he continued trying until he achieved his objective.
The Arbitrary Reasons:
Did we say his love of science? We meant his love of money. Muybridge and his world changing invention were just pawns in a larger, more complex mission to settle what is without question the stupidest bet of all time.
He was employed by Leland Stanford, the former governor of California, who was apparently a very bored man. He was also very rich; a dangerous combination. Leland was a bit of a horse enthusiast and, in 1872, he took part in a high-stakes bet that sought to solve the age-old mystery: Do all the legs of a horse stop touching the ground at some point during a gallop? A firm believer that horses could for one brief instant fly, Leland offered Muybridge $25,000 to prove this to be true. He didn't care how he did it. He just wanted a picture of a floating horse, damn it.
The existence of the bet has been disputed by film historians, but they all agree that Leland did indeed pay a large amount of money to Muybridge to photograph a horse with its hooves in the air. In fact, the whole endeavor seems even more ridiculous and pointless if there was no bet involved.
Leland was so obsessed with finding the answer that, when his inventor Muybridge murdered his wife's lover, he even paid for his legal defense, ensuring that he was acquitted and could get back to the horse photographing.
The World-Changing Consequences:
Muybridge's work turned out to be instrumental to the creation of cinema. He developed a new method of fast photography for the sole purpose of catching a horse mid-gallop, and later set automatic cameras all over the side of a racetrack to capture every stage of the horse's movement. Later, he created the zoopraxiscope so he could project these images in sequence, thereby producing the first ever motion picture.
Around the same time, famed inventor and Cracked arch-enemy Thomas Alva Edison had created the phonograph. When Edison witnessed the zoopraxiscope in action, Muybridge approached him to discuss the possibility of joining their two inventions to make movies with picture and sound (about 40 years before this was actually achieved). Edison said, "No thanks," and then proceeded to copy Muybridge's invention and market it as the much more popular kinetograph.
One day we'll get you, Edison. We don't know when or even how, but we will.
#1. Nagasaki Gets the Atomic Bomb Over a Honeymoon
You know the atomic bombings at Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended World War II, but have you ever wondered why those particular cities had to get the A-Bomb treatment? It couldn't have been an easy decision, the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians hung in the balance.
So a lot of careful consideration must have gone into choosing which cities to bomb... right?
The Arbitrary Reasons:
Well, it's true that they had a detailed report that included a list of five possible targets... which was topped by Kyoto (where the Emperor lived) and on which Nagasaki wasn't even mentioned (go on, Ctrl+F that shit). So why, then, did the U.S. choose not to bomb Kyoto, the greatest strategic target according to the report? Well, because the Secretary of War had spent his honeymoon there.
Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson had admired the city and its culture ever since he visited it with his wife decades earlier. Perhaps if they'd spent more time "honeymooning" in their room rather than sightseeing, he would've been like, "Kyoto? Oh, right... I remember that... , " before grinning wickedly, thrusting his hips forward for the next 20 minutes and then giving the order to bomb it to hell.
Instead, Kyoto was vetoed by Stimson, and the new primary targets became Hiroshima and... Kokura.
Yep, Nagasaki kept getting snubbed, and it would've been saved if the weather in Kokura hadn't been cloudy that day. Due to the clouds the pilot couldn't get a clear view of his target (a factory), so he moved on to Nagasaki and dropped the bomb there.
"Fuck it."
The World-Changing Consequences:
Did we mention the Emperor lived in Kyoto? You know, the guy who surrendered and ended World War II? It's hard to imagine the military would have surrendered without him seeing as they were so willing to continue fighting that they even tried to overthrow Hirohito when he announced that he planned to surrender. So in other words, all it would have taken to extend the bloodiest war in recent history indefinitely, likely costing millions more casualties on both sides: Stimson and his wife deciding to honeymoon somewhere closer to home, or just having a little better sexual chemistry.Maxwell Yezpitelok lives in Chile, and when he's not being harassed by earthquakes he likes to waste his time writing back to scammers or making stupid comics.
