Hi all, I have a problem at my company, the computers are all running windows XP Pro and Internet explorer but when the computers type in a URL of a website (Any website) it goes to MSN and only gives out search results with links to the website, but when they click on the link it shows that it cannot show the page or cannot open the search page?? How can I fix that? I thought that installing firefox will solve the problem but I need to be sure about that before I do. The branch is far and I need to have a couple more solutions than only firefox before I go there. Please help me ASAP! Thank you.
IE Problem BIG!!! HELP Please!
Why don't you install FF on a PC and see if it works.
Also,from all programs,choose IE +tools and change the homepage.Also look into the internet connections,somebody must a reset them.
just my 2 cents
Pssst= IE is not as safe as FF. Too many exploits wherever you browse.
Also,may i recommend Opera,now you can edit cookies

I now that FF is safer and all, and I can edit cookies with FF but the thing is that I need to be sure that my solution will work before I drive all the way out to the branch office... But thanx. I will just install FF.
If u wanna browse in a very secured way. U can try using "Browzar". The whole exe file is around 200KB. NO need to install anything. It doesn's saves anything (History, cookie, etc) in the Local disk. I'm not sure that sites that needs cookies to be enable like Gmail works with this or not.
CHeck---> out
CHeck---> out
I am using FF such a long time and it works good with me, hope it will helps to solve your problem.
I switched from Internet Exploer to Firefox Recently and its 2x as fast and runs alot smoother.
I've been such a foul when i accepted the update to IE 7 .. don't make the same mistake .. use FF.
i think it depends upon you.How much security measures you take while browsing. IE 7/8 can be safe too. If you say FF is safe. Let me tell you Mozilla regularly updating security flaws in FF, same thing is with IE too. FF is free basically and more customizable, that;s why it is getting popular. More you Customize the FIREFOX, more memory will it take. More over, some extensions are also use virus ways to access ur pc. FoxTorrent Extension is one of such examples.If I am wrong somewhere, do let me know. It wud help me to update myself.
I suggest Reinstall jst your IE, it will fixed

Georgia Southern routing opponents heading into Wofford game
Published: Thursday, September 12, 2013 at 11:29 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, September 12, 2013 at 11:29 p.m.
Georgia Southern head coach Jeff Monken seemed a little grumpy for a guy whose team has won its first two games by an average of 68-13.
What: No. 10 Georgia Southern (2-0) at No. 16 Wofford (1-1)
When: 7 p.m. Saturday
Where: Gibbs Stadium
TV: None. Radio: 910 AM, 105.7 FM
Internet audio: www.woli-am.com
Internet video: www.woffordterriers.com
Series: Georgia Southern has won three straight, including 17-9 last season in Statesboro. GSU leads all-time, 12-7.
"We've been playing like garbage," he said.
The 10th-ranked Eagles, who are in Spartanburg at 7 p.m. Saturday to play 16th-ranked Wofford at Gibbs Stadium, opened the season by beating up on neighbor Savannah State, 77-9, and then easily handling Saint Francis (Pa.), 59-17.
"The two teams we've played are not the two strongest on the schedule," Monken said. "We're going into conference play this week and it's going to get a lot tougher. So we've got to play a lot better."
"…I'm not happy with the way we've been playing. All you've got to do is be around after the ballgames and hear me talk about our team. I mean, we've got a team that's capable we we've just been playing sloppy, missing tackles, missing assignments, missing opportunities, dropping interceptions, missing blocks…"
Monken's frustration comes from the fact that Savannah State and Saint Francis have been weak teams in their respective FCS conferences. Savannah State is 1-15 in its first two seasons in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference after playing as an independent since 2002. Saint Francis was 4-4 in the Northeast Conference last season and that was more wins than the school compiled in the previous four seasons combined. The Red Flashes are 17-98 in league play since 1995.
"If they were the two toughest teams on our schedule, we'd be feeling pretty confident," Monken said. "But right now, I have no idea of what kind of team we have."
Georgia Southern does not appear in the FCS official statistics — or the coaches' poll — because the Eagles have exceeded the scholarship limit as they transition into the FBS level with the Sun Belt Conference. If they were in the stats, they would be leading the country by 13.5 points per game and rushing offense by 78 yards per game. GSU is averaging more than 600 yards of total offense.
Monken rejected the notion that his team has not performed up to his expectations because of the level of competition and that the scores have not stayed close for very long.
"It doesn't have anything to do with the opening drive of the first game, missing an assignment," Monken said. "It doesn't have anything to do with the opening drive of the second game, fumbling the ball, losing eight yards and you've got to punt. It doesn't have anything to do with missing tackles. You've got to make tackles, it doesn't matter who you're playing against, especially against a team we should be better than. So it doesn't have anything to do with the opponent. It has everything to do with us."
Wofford, meanwhile, opened the season with a 69-3 loss at Baylor and Southern Conference game at The Citadel, where the Terriers did not allow an offensive touchdown in a 21-10 win. They've been tested, at least, in some difficult situations.
"We've learned some hard lessons," Wofford head coach Mike Ayers said. "Some of our young players are starting to season a little bit because of the intensity of the first two ballgames."
And while Georgia Southern has not felt much resistance on the first two Saturdays, the Eagles get it during the week, he said.
"Yes, they opened up against Savannah State and Saint Francis," Ayers said. "But they've worked a gazillion reps against each other. They have one of the best teams in America. That's what really matters. So do I think they'll be ready? Yes."

Authorities say 30 Tennessee counties have received false bomb threats to courthouses or other government buildings.
The threats began Tuesday morning and forced evacuations while authorities searched for bombs.
Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security spokeswoman Dalya Qualls said no explosives were found and no arrests have been made.
A spokesman for the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency said the threats were made in phone calls to county clerk offices.
In Memphis, police said an unknown woman called and said she had information that someone was going to blow up three buildings in the city, including the federal building and a post office.
Tennessee became the fourth state this month to deal with widespread bomb hoaxes. Oregon, Nebraska and Washington all had similar threats reported to courthouses.

I am benchmarking a database schema with a dozen workers processes and was wondering what a SELECT FOR UPDATE does in a master-master configuration.
For the moment it seems to work, but I am either doing INSERT on one and SELECT FOR UPDATE + UPDATE on the other, or doing it on both at the same time.
There is a big lag in the replication (the numbers shows that it keeps growing over time). What would happen if I do some SELECT FOR UPDATE + UPDATE on both while still doing some INSERT on one and not both ?
Can the database be corrupted ?

Very simple question - I have two database roles (Basic, Admin). Say I explicitly deny the Basic role from deleting from table A and grant that to the Admin role. If I am a user who is in both roles, can I delete from table A?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Never a simple answer...
For a direct DELETE, a user in both roles won't be able to DELETE
For indirect via a stored procedure, the permissions may not be checked if both table and proc have the same owner. So both GRANT and DENY will be ignored. This is called "ownership chaining"
Personally, I don't really use DENY. Here's why:
In your case, you only need to

Are You at Risk for Metabolic Syndrome
Given how common metabolic syndrome is -- it's estimated that one out of four people meet the criteria -- everyone should be worried about their risk factors. After all, metabolic syndrome can dramatically increase your risk of serious health problems, such as diabetes, heart attacks, and strokes -- yet often people don't even know what it is.
Metabolic syndrome is generally defined as a cluster of risk factors, including high blood sugar, extra abdominal fat, high blood pressure, and unhealthy cholesterol levels.

Glycemic Index
Learn about the glycemic index and how it can play a role in healthy weight loss. The articles in this section will teach you the difference between the glycemic index and glycemic load.
If you're one of those people who can't stand all the counting and tracking and adding and charting that some diets require, you could find a refuge in one simple numerical scale: the Glycemic Index. On the other hand, you might find it another frustrating component to complicate the simple act of eating.
The glycemic index is a measure of the quality of carbohydrate foods. It's kind of a good carbs/bad carbs measure based on how certain carbohydrates affect your blood sugar. Though it is not new, it did start getting a lot of press when the anti-carb movement took hold.
It works like this: in the glycemic index, pure glucose is arbitrarily assigned the score of 100 as a reference point for how a certain food affects your body about two hours after consumption. Then all other foods in the index are given a number relative to glucose and its affect on the blood sugar.
Foods with a low index typically break down slowly and don't cause drastic fluctuations in blood sugar. Foods with a high index typically do. For instance, green peas have an index of 39, while corn flakes have an index of 92.
Originally developed to help folks—particularly diabetics—control their blood sugar, the index includes mainly carbohydrate foods, because protein and fat don't have much immediate effect on blood sugar.
But assigning numbers to different foods based on their glycemic effect just happens to create a scaled list of foods that ends up being a very useful tool for people dealing with obesity and other health issues, as well. That's because simply maintaining a low-glycemic index diet tends to guide people toward healthier eating and weight loss, even when that is not their specific goal.
Consider: Type II diabetes, as well as various cancers and cardiovascular disease, are all highly correlated with high index diets. There's abundant research that shows that reducing foods which rank high on the glycemic index in our diets also reduces our risk of developing these conditions.
That's because, almost by default, a low-index diet will include more fresh fruits and vegetables, more fiber, more dairy--all foods that offer essential nutrients, and are more likely to be lower in calories. All that usually adds up to weight loss, no matter what the program.Proponents of the index say it's more helpful than counting calories or grams of fats or carbs, and actually offers a simplified approach to learning to eat better, but some experts caution that people shouldn't get too wrapped up in worrying about the precise numbers. Instead, they urge that people pay attention to whether the foods they're eating have a low, medium or high index.
That's because, as with any rule, there are exceptions to the fairly consistent physiological rules that underlie the index. For instance, watermelon has a pretty high glycemic index, about 75, which is even higher than table sugar. Does that make it bad for you? No. Because in spite of its high index, watermelon actually has a pretty low glycemic load. That's a measure based on the amount of food you'd actually consume, not just an arbitrary quantity used in testing, as with the index.
The glycemic load of a food can be determined using the glycemic index number for a food, divided by 100 and multiplied times the available carbohydrate you'd eat. With most foods, low index is consistent with low load, but there are the quirky exceptions. Of course, to find them, you'd be back to doing a bunch of math again, and that's just not the way people normally eat.
That's why doctors and nutritional experts encourage people who are trying to develop a healthy diet to avoid getting caught up in the numbers game and look more generally at the foods in the index, leaning toward those at the low end. Anything over 70 is considered high index, 55 through 69 is medium and below 55 are foods with a low glycemic index.
And look what's in those groups: high index foods include most breakfast cereals, white breads and other processed baked goods, most potatoes, ice cream, candies and table sugar--your veritable Atkins nightmare.
Lower index foods include cherries, grapefruit, broccoli, legumes like lentils and beans, most whole grain baked goods and most dairy foods. So even without counting calories or keeping track of specific index numbers, you can see that steering your diet toward the low end of the index is bound to do you good.
We like to encourage patients to think of glycemic index and glycemic load as just two more tools that can be helpful in developing healthier thinking and planning about dietary habits.
A final thing to remember: there's not one standardized glycemic index list and most indexes include brand-name items that people buy on a typical shopping trip, as well as the more generic items like vegetables and fruits. This is one of the more helpful aspects of the lists, but only if you get one that relates to where you live.
If your average American looked at an index created in Australia, it wouldn't be much help, because really, when's the last time you had a couple Golden Pikelets with a nice glass of Milo?
THROUGH THICK & THIN: Glycemic IndexFruits tend to have a high glycemic index, so I recommend that people take their fruits with a meal, or with some protein like cottage cheese or regular cheese. These protein sources help mitigate the fruit's glycemic effect. Don't let a high index number keep you away from your apple a day.

The 5 Most Terrifying Diseases That Doctors Can't Explain
#2. Brainerd Diarrhea
If you've ever experienced the horrible consequences of a bad sushi restaurant, then you'll know the pain of shitting like a garden hose for a miserable day or so. Imagine doing that for months on end, and you'll have some idea of what it's like to come down with Brainerd diarrhea.
Time at last to catch up on How I Met Your Mother.
The disease gets its name from the town of Brainerd, Minnesota, where the first known case occurred, and which has the dubious honor of being the only town to lend its name to an explosive case of the buttsquirts. People afflicted with this condition typically experience 10 to 20 episodes per day, often accompanied by nausea, cramping and fatigue, possibly caused by running a daily toilet marathon while screaming "Oh God, oh God."
And these spells can last up to a year.
Eight outbreaks of Brainerd diarrhea have been reported since 1983, out of which six occurred in the United States. The original was the largest, with 122 people inflicted with a yearlong fire-hose butt. Beyond that, nothing much can be said about it -- there's some evidence that you get it from unpasteurized, raw milk, but doctors can't identify any specific reason for it beyond God's cruel imagination.
"You know what you did."
Hey, speaking of terrifying poop diseases ...
#1. Porphyria, the Vampire/Purple Shit Disease
People who suffer from porphyria experience a constellation of equally terrifying symptoms: Their gums recede to give the appearance of fangs, their skin bubbles and boils when exposed to sunlight and they can only be treated with injections of blood. If this sounds familiar to you, you're not the only one -- it has been theorized that porphyria sufferers contributed to the vampire legend.
The garlic thing is just because garlic is tasty.
Unlike most of the vampire tales we grew up with, however, sufferers of this particular disease tend to poop purple. There's also crippling abdominal pain and "mental disturbances," which probably come as a result of squeezing out a bright-purple turd.
Porphyria is caused when heme, a part of hemoglobin, isn't produced properly. As to why is literally anybody's guess. Scientists state that this could be because of a mutation in the DNA, but that doesn't explain why alcohol, drugs, infections and even estrogen could trigger attacks of certain types of porphyria.
Fortunately, sex and rock-and-roll still just cause STDs and tinnitus.
Scientists note that they've identified a gene mutation that's associated with having the disease ... in 20 percent of people. They also note that 80 percent of cases have no such mutation, which they probably reported with a bewildered shrug. What we're saying is there's always a chance that, one day, you too might crap purple and then develop an unstoppable urge to bite your neighbor.

I'm not very far into Disgaea yet. I've only made it to Map 1-4: Hall of Caresses, and the mid-boss keeps beating me there. I figured it's because I just bought my first new characters (3 of them, a healer, a red skull, and a brawler) and they're all only level 1. They keep getting one-shotted and die. The ranged enemies seem to specifically seek them out.
My thought was that I should go back to the previous map, Map 1-3: Corridor of Love and try leveling them up there. This walkthrough seems to support the idea that it's a good spot to level characters up to level 5.
However, the problem I'm having is that I don't fully understand how experience gain works. It appears that I only get experience by doing damage, or maybe even just for killing blows. So my plan of bringing my level 1 newbies onto the map while my level 5s ran around and killed everything ended up not working, as none of the newbies leveled. I had the level 1 healer following them around and healing, but the act of healing also doesn't seem to grant experience (or if it does, very little, as she's still level 1 too after burning off all her spell points on heals). So I tried the map again, this time attempting to get the newbies into the fight, but just like in the Hall of Caresses, they keep getting one-shotted and die.
This seems like a problem that's only going to get worse as I get further into the game. I'm hoping I have more options than just sticking them on the easiest map possible and building my way up from there. That seems like it will drive me nuts if I keep having to play the tutorial maps whenever I create a new character, and I'm hoping there are better options.
What exactly governs when characters earn experience points, and what's a good strategy for leveling up new characters?

What is a good example of a simple, physically useful nonlinear symplectomorphism $\kappa: \mathbb{R}^{2n} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{2n}$? I'm not much of a physicist, and all the examples I've worked have been purely mathematical and not connected to any physical problems. Obviously linear examples are well known and useful.
Actually, it would suffice if I could see some nice example of a nonlinear diffeomorphism (i.e. change of coordinates) $\varphi: \mathbb{R}^3 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^3$ given by $x \mapsto y$, as one can then lift this diffeomorphism to a symplectomorphism by transforming the momenta via $p_y := (d\varphi^{-1})^{*}p_x$.
Thanks in advance.

Exercise: If $a+2b=125$ and $b+c=348$, find out $2a+7b+3c$. Here $a$, $b$, $c$ are natural numbers.
The answer is: $2a+7b+3c = 1294$
I tried but just can't figure out how to get to this answer. I have a lot of exercises similar to this one but don't know how to aproach them. Can anyone write the steps in order to get to the answer above? Also it would be great if you can write in a general way so I can apply it to other exercises similar to this.

I organize my Japanese ebooks and manga using the respective Japanese titles as filenames. I then access this content from my Anrdoid device by mounting a cifs share with cifsmanager. However I cannot open the media using my Android 4.1 (AOSP) device. The non-ascii characters in my filesystem show up as just question marks, e.g.
You are facing this issue because (as @liamwli said) you lack the required font and also possibly because of lack of sufficient libraries in your present ROM.
Due to this reason, it is unable to display the file name properly and as a ramification of this issue, different apps behave differently based on how the developer handled this situation.
What can be done?
This depends on few factors:
If your phone is rooted, extract

In case if you are still unable to open such files, please revert back the backed up TTF file.
you will need to install a japanese font onto your device.
To do this, you would have to be rooted.
Another workaround: See if you can change the system language to Japanese.
You may be able to download an app from Google Play that will automatically install the font onto your device.
If you are rooted I think the answer of Narayanan said it all; just copy a Japanese font to the
However, if you are unrooted you can install a file explorer app that includes a Japanese font. I did a quick google search and the following file explorers (say that they) support Japanese:
I'm not entirely sure if this solves your problem opening the files. You might need to install viewer programs with Japanese support as well.
BTW, are you sure you have Android 4.1? I remember reading that Jelly Bean has (improved) native Japanese support.
I do not think that this is a font issue. Applications do not need to be able to display the characters to handle files using those characters. Moreover, Droid Sans do support Japanese characters. In my stock Galaxy Nexus (not a Japanese phone), Japanese file names are handled and displayed fine using OI File Manager and ES File Explorer.
File names in Linux and Unix filesystems (e.g. ext2/ext3/ext4) are just sequence of bytes because the Linux kernel is encoding-transparent, i.e. the kernel does not care about filename encoding. Filename encoding is considered an application-level issue. In contrast, Java File API (and, therefore Android's Java File API) is encoding-aware and will attempt to decode file names according to system default encoding. The system default encoding in Android is utf-8. The situation is different if the files are stored in an SD card that is formatted using Windows filesystems, e.g. VFAT or NTFS. These filesystems specifies a certain on-disk encoding for file names.
Applications that directly handle files coming from another system, such as file transfer programs (FTP, etc) and decompression programs (Tar, Zip, etc) are supposed to translate file names from the remote systems or inside archives to the local system's default encoding. However, this isn't enforced by the kernel, so it is possible for poorly written (native) application to produce files with filename encoding that does not match system's default encoding.
My guess is that you have file names that are not encoded in utf-8, and the Java File API were not able to decode these filenames. Try to rename and reencode the file names or use a file transfer program that knows how to translate the filenames to the system encoding.
I should have identified that this problem only occurs when mounting the media remotely using cifsmanager. Better late than never, I suppose. The solution is to pass a parameter using the options field:
The parameter tells the cifs module to use utf8 as the character set when it mounts the samba share. This may become unnecessary in the future, as it would make sense to have this set by default in the first place.

I know there was conflict between Protestants and Roman Catholic nationalists due to their difference of opinion on Home Rule, but why would the protestants in Ulster and conservative party want to coalesce with England? They weren't exactly 'gaining' anything from it. Did they come from England?
The problem started with the "flight of the Earls" in 1607. After losing a war to England, the Catholic Ulster nobles Hugh O'Donnell, Hugh O'Neil, and others, fled Ireland for Europe. Meanwhile, England brought in Protestant "settlers" from Scotland to "pacify" Ulster. Thus, the formerly most rebellious province of Ireland became the most pro British.
These tensions were exacerbated in the 17th century, first with Cromwell's "to Hell or Connaught" policy that drove many Catholics out of the two eastern provinces, Ulster and Leinster, to Connaught in the northwest, the poorest of the four Irish provinces. Protestant domination of Ulster was further reinforced when Catholic King James II was defeated at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 by his Protestant son in law, William of Orange in a civil war, (which is why the Protestants call themselves "Orangemen").
Basically, Ulster Protestants were England's "catspaw" in Ireland. As such, they did not want to be part of an independent, Catholic, Ireland. Their preference, which lasts to this day, was to be part of the "United Kingdom" with English Protestants,
The principal reason that Protestants in Ireland opposed Home Rule was fear of extermination.
In every uprising from the Irish Confederate Wars of 1641 to the 1798 rebellion there were numerous massacres of Protestants, and this bred a fear of rule by a Catholic Church dominated majority.
After the establishment of the Free State there was a church/state policy to discriminate against Protestants, evidenced by the decline of the Protestant population from around 10% in 1900 to around 3% today.
Don't agree with a lot of the conclusions drawn in this link but the statistics don't lie. http://www.wesleyjohnston.com/users/ireland/past/protestants_1861_1991.html
The Protestants in Ireland were a small (but wealthy) minority. This put them in a precarious situtation, since an uprising could deprive them of power. If they unite with the United Kingdom of Great Britain, then they are in a much safer place.
If we are talking about the 1800's then you will find a lot of Irish Protestants were in favour of Home Rule, with the Home Rule League being led by Isaac Butt in the 1860's. Many Protestants were against the Act of Union which had abolished the Irish parliament and essentially meant more taxes going back to Britain.
The successor to the Home Rule League, the Irish Parliamentary Party, led to a gradual shift towards a Catholic backed Home Rule and positions hardened. Unionism can be traced back to 1885 with the Irish Loyal and Patriotic Union.

I want to remane a group of photo of my holidays. For example, I have:
And I want to obtain:
Malta is the name I choose and
(date) is the date of the photo. In addition, I want to add a number that rise with time of the day (a photo taken at 9.00 is 001 and a photo taken at 9.01 is 002). I want to fill the number with
0 in order to obtain always the same name length (for example, if I have 1500 photo the first is 0001, if I have only 56 photos the first is 01). The number will restart each day.
Is there any free software (or command line tool) that can do that? I use Mac OS X Lion.
Ps: I can use the hour when the photo is taken instead of numbers.
EDIT: I used Apple's Automator but I had to choose between data or number. It is impossible to use data and hour.

The 6 Most Depressing IMDb Pages
#3. F. Scott Fitzgerald Was to Movie Scripts What Babe Ruth was to Movie Scripts
Considering that he's been dead for 70 years, F. Scott Fitzgerald's career is going pretty well. His short story was the inspiration for Best Picture nominee The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Baz Luhrmann is currently preparing a big-budget version of his most famous work, The Great Gatsby and Keira Knightley will star as his wife Zelda in an upcoming biopic of the couple. Throw in Martin Scorsese's upcoming Gatsby remake starring Vincent Chase, and the movie career of this great writer has never been hotter.
"I've committed myself to the following of a grail, E."
Which is a problem, since there was one time when it should have been: 1937-1940, when he was trying to earn a living as a Hollywood scriptwriter. There had been a early stint in 1927, when United Artists paid him a $3500 advance (about $65,000,000 in 2009 money) to write an ultimately unproduced flapper comedy, but this was when he and Zelda were still the Jazz Age darlings who made bathtub gin and sat on flagpoles with Charles Lindbergh. A 1931 stay led to nothing but more arguments and rejected scripts.
When he returned to Hollywood in 1937, he really needed the work. Zelda was in the mental ward and Fitzgerald (or "F" as we like to call him) had suffered a series of "Crack-Ups," highlighted in a 1936 Joaquin Phoenixesque New York Post interview that includes the line, "His face twitched. 'Successful authors!' he cried. 'Oh, my God, successful authors!' He stumbled over to the highboy and poured himself another drink."
Seen here, in a rare moment of not-being-crazy.
Had TMZ been around in 1936, they would have been staking out his home Britney-style. Meanwhile, his record in Hollywood reads a bit like Michael Jordan's baseball stats. His IMDb credits for this period include eight "Uncredited" listings, compared with one actual screen credit for a 1938 adaptation of the novel Three Comrades (for which his dialogue was heavily rewritten). Uncredited sounds okay, but in Fitzgerald's case it's essentially a euphemism for "His script sucked, but he sure is famous." The IMDb page also doesn't list his piles of unproduced screenplays, or rejected dialogue for numerous movies, including Gone With the Wind.
The really sad part of all this? Fitzgerald was apparently working his ass off. In 2004, two thousand pages of Fitzgerald's previously unknown Hollywood notes were sold, detailing just how much effort utter failure takes. In retrospect, he could have just hung around the house and waited for somebody to invent some really convincing old-man makeup to slap on a midget.
#2. Burt Reynolds
Let's face it, except for extremely rare cases like Clint Eastwood and Jack Nicholson, very few stars remain at their peak level of popularity for decade after decade. There's nothing inherently depressing about falling back to earth a bit, and even a big fall means they reached great heights in the first place. Still, there are heights so great and falls so far that looking at them makes you a bit queasy, which brings us to the career of Burt Reynolds.
Burt Reynolds was riding high and driving fast during his late-70s/early-80s Smokey and the Bandit and Cannonball Run peak. He won eight People's Choice Awards for Favorite Male Entertainer and Motion Picture Actor, and would have won another eight if there was one for Awesomest Mustache. For five straight years he was the top draw in Hollywood, tied with guys like Clint Eastwood and Tom Hanks. You'll notice that neither of those guys ever ended up 13th-billed in a Uwe Boll film.
Bad career choices, expensive divorces and bankruptcy sent Reynolds spiraling in the 80s, though in the 90s he at least worked steadily on TV in Evening Shade, a decent hit despite being seen by absolutely nobody under 50 or above the Mason-Dixon Line. Then, out of nowhere, his 1997 appearance in Boogie Nights earned Reynolds his first Oscar nomination and was the comeback story of the year.
Mustache Mustache Mustache.
Or maybe not. "My being nominated this year is no comeback story because I simply refused to go away," Reynolds said. As it turns out, it was no comeback story because his career didn't come back even a tiny little bit. It didn't help that Reynolds and director Paul Thomas Anderson didn't get along, leading Reynolds to refuse to appear in Anderson's next picture, Magnolia. It would be the last time Reynolds was within shouting range of quality.
What a sneaky mustache!
IMDb shows an astounding 52 entries since Boogie Nights with only a handful you've heard of, including crappy remakes, one-shot sitcom appearances, the worst wide-release opening in movie history (that would be Delgo, which literally averaged two audience members per theater) and straight-to-video comedies with plots like: "A washed out former star in need of money has a get rich plan...start a volleyball team whose players consist of group of beautiful athletic strippers."
It's quite a comedown for a man with his own freaking museum.
#1. Fuad Hageb, the Ishtar Guy
Most IMDb pages tell simple tales, like the world-famous superstar with humble beginnings or the scattered small roles in unknown movies that speak of a broken dream. Some IMDb pages are mysteries, however, and none more than those with a single, lonely entry. What happened after that one shot at stardom that turned out to be the entire battle?
Such is the case with Fuad Hageb. Much like Archibald "Moonlight" Graham, immortalized in Field of Dreams for his one career major league appearance, Fuad Hageb is immortalized on IMDb for his one career film role. That movie? Ishtar, the 1987 comedy still synonymous with "Box Office Bomb" (and still unreleased on DVD in America). It's as if he had one career at-bat and used it to club the batboy to death.
Hageb played Abdul, the young, pipe-smoking tour guide who repeatedly saves Dustin Hoffman and Warren Beatty from certain death (a role far less appreciated by the audience as the movie progressed). It was a decent-sized part in a big-budget, albeit infamous, film. And then...silence.
So what's the story behind this enigmatically awful resume? Was that one credit enough to get him laughed out of future auditions? Was the experience so horrifying he quit the industry? Did notorious perfectionist Beatty strangle him at the wrap party for blinking at the wrong time?
Well, to solve this burning mystery we did some actual, honest-to-goodness reporting and tracked him down through his later charity work (that'll show him!). He kindly informed us that he did in fact land a follow-up role in a Broadway musical, but was attacked on-stage by a bear.
OK, that's not true. He actually bailed out of the production for family reasons and wound up becoming the Vice President of a $30 billion dollar investment management company. The company was even sold two years ago, before the whole economy went Ishtar. The fact that he did all of this rather than wind up in a Uwe Boll film, tells us the dude is just a master of getting out at the right time.

At the Monday afternoon GPA technical forum on facility design, companies discussed gas plant designs, export considerations and shale gas processing operations, among other topics.
By ADRIENNE BLUME
Managing Editor
DALLAS -- The GPA Annual Convention
featured technical sessions on Monday afternoon that were
devoted to a variety of topics, including gas processing
facility design. At the design forum, companies discussed gas
plant designs, export considerations and shale gas processing
operations, among other subjects.
Dryout designs for cryogenic gas
plants. Process engineer Scott Miller of Ortloff
Engineers spoke about dryout practices and design
considerations for cryogenic gas plants. "Completing a
successful dryout begins during the detailed design stage of
a project," he noted.
However, proper attention to dryout is
not always achieved at the design stage, which can lead to
blockage of process flow in equipment. For this reason, all
water must be removed prior to cooldown. Any dryout-related
design work that can be done beforehand shortens the time
needed for dryout.
Dryout system types.
Effective dryouts accomplish several goals. They move free
water to low points, absorb the remaining water in a dryout
gas stream, finish in a shorted time period and allow
monitoring progress of the dryout operation. Design options
for dryout systems include pressure cycling with nitrogen,
once-through dryout, and closed-loop recirculation using a
residue gas compressor.
Nitrogen pressure cycling is costly, Mr.
Miller explained, and it does a poor job of removing free
water. Similarly, once-through dryout drawbacks include the
requirement of a dryout feature to be added during design,
the loss of hydrocarbon product, dictation of the
dryout rate by flaring limitations, and the requirement of an
outlet that can handle wet inlet gas.
With the closed-loop recirculation
option, warm, dry gas is recirculated through the loop using
a residue gas compressor. This loop includes an air cooler, a
dehydrator, a dust filter, and the coal plant. Any water is
removed by dehydrators.
Mr. Miller also outlined basic criteria
for dryout design and used examples of closed-loop
recirculation systems at propane recovery plants to show
attendees how these criteria can be met to ensure the
shortest dryout time. The installation of a temporary inlet
valve, low-point drains, a moisture analyzer, a recirculation
line and a secondary source of dryout gas are all features of
the cold plant that must be considered when examining dryout
Optimizing the dryout
process. Before beginning dryout, the
expander/booster must be isolated, the deethanizer bottoms
must be isolated, the orifice plate must be installed, the
dryout moisture analyzer must be put in place, the cold plant
must be pressurized to 450 psig, the dehydration beds must be
regenerated, and all parties must agree on a maximum water
content (with a recommended target level of less than 10
To initiate dryout flow, the
Joule-Thomson valve first must be opened. Recirculation
should continue through the main flow path. Cold plant
temperatures must be supervised, all low points must be
drained and water content at the cold plant must be
monitored. Then, stagnant areas remaining after the main flow
path is clear can undergo dryout.
considerations. However, Mr. Miller warned to
"Expect water content spikes during the course of dryout."
Completion of the dryout of the main flow path and stagnant
areas should be followed by an extended dryout as a "due
diligence" measure, "just to make sure no water was missed,"
he said. If the water content remains below 10 ppm, then the
dryout is finished.
The total length of time of the dryout
depends on the water content in the cold plant; Mr. Miller
pegged the average time at 26 days. With a
well-executed dryout, startup and cooldown are smoother, and
the time needed to reach normal operation is minimized. The
closed-loop recirculation dryout removes water more
efficiently, monitors dryout progress more easily and allows
for a quicker transition to plant cooldown, he said.
Refrigeration and compression
for NGL exports. Paul Danilewicz from Enerflex
discussed refrigeration and boiloff compression system
considerations for natural gas liquid (NGL) products export
facilities. He presented an
overview of the sources and types of productsparaffins
and olefinsand discussed how product is transported to
facilities via pipeline and rail car.
Mr. Danilewicz cited two NGL products as
being ideal for transport overseasHD-5 propane (with a
propane content of 90%95%) and purity propane (with a
minimum propane content of 98%). He also noted that there has
been some discussion of transporting ethane (as a purity
product above 98% ethane) overseas.
NGL export facility
design. The components of a typical export facility
for NGL products include optional inlet separation,
filtration and storage; an optional dehydration system (if
the product arrives over-saturated); refrigeration and
boiloff systems; product storage and loading systems; and
product metering facilities.
Typically, throughput rates differ from
loadout rates, Mr. Danilewicz said. Feed can be continuous if
the product is supplied via pipeline or from storage, or it
can be processed in batches if brought in by rail car.
Loadout rates, on the other hand, are determined by vessel
Refrigeration and boiloff
systems. These systems convert warm, high-pressure
liquid feed into a cold, low-pressure product stream. For
purity products, direct refrigeration systems are preferred.
Indirect systems are preferred for HD-5 and products having
various compositions; these systems utilize closed-loop
refrigeration independently of the product. Separate
compression equipment is required to handle boiloff gas and
ship vapors.
Cascading systems, on the other hand,
are typically a mix of direct and indirect refrigeration
systems in a cascading arrangement. They use a propane system
to chill the incoming feed, and are complex compared to
direct and indirect systems.
Mr. Danilewicz gave an overview of the
typical system components required for all refrigeration
systems, including pressure requirements, compression
requirements and other design details. He also considered the
benefits of air coolers vs. evaporative coolers. For
compression systems, oil-flooded screw compressors are the
most popular design. These compressors include positive
displacement machinery and off-the-shelf designs, among other
Modular LPG facilities. Lastly, Mr.
Danilewicz discussed the modularization of liquefied
petroleum gas (LPG)i.e., propane, butane and
isobutaneexport systems. Modular systems can be built
in controlled manufacturing environments, where the modules
are fitted, piped, tubed, wired and painted. This process
minimizes field installation costs and time while providing a
fully integrated design for an LPG export facility.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Get off disability in 2013
The National Bureau of Economic Research declared the U.S. recession ended in June 2009, yet 2012 didn't look like much of a resurgence.
To me, the number that sums up the year's doldrums is the 1.27 million increase in the number of disabled Americans without jobs from November 2011 to November 2012. This statistic reflects not only the sluggish recovery but also a drifting nation, badly in need of tough medicine.

Don't Smoke! Essay 28
Please use for reference only.
Frances DeMasi Middle School, Marlton, NJ
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
Some Reasons Not to Smoke
Smoking is very addictive! This is because of the nicotine in the cigarette. When you only take one puff, it probably will not get you, but if you continue to smoke, then you can not stop.
Smoking causes more problems than addiction. It can also cause lung cancer. Lung cancer is when your lungs are not getting enough oxygen. They change from a light pink color to a dark black. This is the result of smoke getting into your lungs.
Emphysema is another result of smoking. Emphysema is when your lungs don't get enough oxygen. This means that you will have to breathe from an oxygen tank.
A third disease that is a result of smoking is heart disease. When you have this problem, your heart does not pump enough blood to your body. This makes you feel tired all the time. It can also cause a heart attack.
Another result of smoking is stained teeth, yellow fingers, bad breath and wrinkled skin. Although these things are not a concern to your health, they are very unattractive.
While many adults are quitting smoking, even more teenagers are starting the habit. It is much harder to quit smoking if you started when you were younger.
Cigarettes are expensive. Not only do they cost a lot, they are illegal to but if you are under eighteen years of age. Evesham Township just passed a law that prohibits anyone under eighteen from smoking. These are just a few reasons why you shouldn't start smoking!

When studying representation theory, special functions or various other topics one is very likely to encounter the following identity at some point: $$\det \left(\frac{1}{x _i+y _j}\right) _{1\le i,j \le n}=\frac{\prod _{1\le i < j\le n} (x _j-x _i)(y _j-y _i)}{\prod _{i,j=1}^n (x _i+y _j)}$$ This goes under the name of Cauchy's determinant identity and has various generalizations and analogous statements. There is also a lot of different proofs using either analysis or algebra. In my case I have always seen it introduced (or motivated) as an identity that plays an important role in combinatorics, but I realized that I haven't really seen this identity in a combinatorial context before. In this question I'm asking for a combinatorial interpretation of the above identity. A bonus to someone who can give such an interpretation to Borchardt's variation: $$\det \left(\frac{1}{(x _i+y _j)^2}\right) _{1\le i,j \le n}=\frac{\prod _{1\le i < j\le n} (x _j-x _i)(y _j-y _i)}{\prod _{i,j=1}^n (x _i+y _j)} \cdot \text{per}\left(\frac{1}{x _i +y _j}\right) _{1 \le i,j \le n}$$ (This seems a little too ambitious though, and I would be happy to accept an answer of just the first question)
See also pp. 397--398 of Enumerative Combinatorics, vol. 2. Cauchy's determinant is given in a slightly different but equivalent form. It is explained there that the evaluation of the determinant is equivalent to the fundamental identity $\prod(1-x_iy_j)^{-1} =\sum_\lambda s_\lambda(x)s_\lambda(y)$ in the theory of symmetric functions.
See Theorem 1.5 and section 2 of A Bijective Proof of Borchardt's Identity by Dan Singer.

Say that a string of $n$ digits, each from $\lbrace 0,1,2,\ldots,b-1 \rbrace$,is foldable if, were each
digit on its own stamp in a sequence of connected stamps,
one could fold the stamps so that like digits are on top
of one another, forming a "stack" of $0$s, adjacent to a stack of $1$s,
adjacent to a stack of $2$s, and so on.
For example, for $b=2$ binary strings, the stamps should
form two piles: $0$s and $1$s, like this:
For binary strings, it is clear that a foldable string must have runs of an even number of $0$s and $1$s everywhere except at the two ends of the string; these end runs can be of even or odd length. It is not too difficult to work out that of the $2^n$ binary strings of length $n$, the number foldable is $$f(n) = 3 \cdot 2^{n/2} -2 \;\;, n \; \mathrm{even}$$ $$f(n) = 2 \cdot 2^{\lceil n/2 \rceil} - 2 \;\;, n \; \mathrm{odd}$$ For example, for $n=10$, $3 \cdot 2^5 -2 = 94$ of the $1024$ strings are foldable; for $n=11$, $126$ are foldable.
I am having difficulty generalizing the count to strings of digits from larger sets $\lbrace 0,1,2,\ldots,b-1 \rbrace$, $b>2$. For $b=3$, there should be three consecutive "stacks", of $0$s, $1$s, and $2$s. Although an exact formula would be nice, I am particularly interested in whether the exponential growth remains $2^{n/2}$. Perhaps someone has seen this before, perhaps in another guise? If so, I'd appreciate a reference. Thanks!
Addendum. In case anyone wants to try to understand the exact count for $b=3$, here are some tentative computational enumerations, with $n$ the number of digits, $f$ the number of foldable strings, and $u$ the number of unfoldable strings: $$n=1 \;,\; f=3 \;,\; u=0 \;,\; f+u = 3$$ $$n=2 \;,\; f=7 \;,\; u=2 \;,\; f+u = 9$$ $$n=3 \;,\; f=13 \;,\; u=14 \;,\; f+u = 27$$ $$n=4 \;,\; f=23 \;,\; u=58 \;,\; f+u = 81$$ $$n=5 \;,\; f=39 \;,\; u=204 \;,\; f+u = 243$$ $$n=6 \;,\; f=65 \;,\; u=664 \;,\; f+u = 729$$ $$n=7 \;,\; f=107 \;,\; u=2080 \;,\; f+u = 2187$$ OEIS identifies the $f$-sequence as A154691: Expansion of $$ \frac {1+x+x^2}{(1-x-x^2)(1-x)} .$$

I'm implementing a tokenizer for the Modelica language (http://www.modelica.org). One of the features I'd like to implement is to have a way to conditionally filter out the 'annotation' construct. Annotations in Modelica have the following basic structure:
keyword "annotation", followed by a bunch of stuff enclosed by brackets:
I would like to be able to filter out such constructs conditionally. Yes, I can (and will) implement folding for such annotations, but is there a way to completely suppress them?
One approach I've tried is to have a method in the token maker that returns a boolean indicating whether or not annotations should be "hidden". I've added two states M_ANNOT and M_ANNOT_HIDDEN, and I can conditionally switch to the appropriate state during tokenization.
I've attempted to define M_ANNOT_HIDDEN like so:
- Code: Select all
; { addToken(Token.SEPARATOR); yybegin(YYINITIAL); }
. { /*Do nothing*/ }
There is also a set of rules for <M_ANNOT>, one of which is the same as in M_ANNOT_HIDDEN to mark the end of the annotation, which is a semi-colon.
In YYINITIAL, I switch to one of the two annotation states conditionally:
- Code: Select all
"annotation" {
if( hideAnnotations() ) yybegin(M_ANNOT_HIDDEN);
else {
This works, insofar as not rendering the content is concerned - instead, I get a whole bunch of blank space. Also, there are exceptions if I click with the mouse anywhere in the text area.
Is it possible to filter out parts of the source code?

Doug Thomas from The Office Team and host of Office Casual and Top Ten Templates sits down with Michael Affronti, the creator of The Outlook Social Connector. He talks about the development process, how it came to be and where it's going.
Oops, something didn't work.
"Turn off your mail notifications". Apparently there is no need to do that. In Outlook 2010 mail notifications do not work if you are using an IMAP account. Also, even if you have an IMAP account as your default account and you choose "E-mail This File" from Windows Explorer in Windows XP, the file is e-mailed using not the IMAP account but the next account in the list of accounts in Outlook, ignoring your choice of a default account. I had several e-mails getting lost because of this. How can you ship a product with so serious bugs? I am considering going back to 2007. No mail notifications and not using my default account when sending from XP's Explorer is too bad. I guess you haven't tested Outlook 2010 with IMAP?
And also I am fet up with the same bugs not being fixed for 10 years now. Using LDAP for name look-up freezes the UI thread as it is not executed on a background thread. Is this modern software. And this issue has been there for years. The dialog boxes that appear when clicking the "To" and "CC" buttons when composing an e-mail are so old. The Advanced Find in these dialog boxes still does not have any "Advanced" features as it can only search by contact's name. And it is called "Advanced Find". But even the non-advanced find does not search in all column fields when thrying to search for a mobile contact but only works correctly in the non-mobile section of contacts. Try searching using the last-name of a mobile contact. The IMAP folders dialog box is so old and the tab order of OK with Cancel are in the wrong order. And these bugs are there for 10 years. Every version no improvements. Why?
If you are using Yahoo Mail, the problem is not with your computer. There have been 100 posts about this happening. Yahoo is having a terrible time. They have not explained why. They will fix it. If you are not using Yahoo, Outlook Express does not have a setting to delete inbox emails. And no virus has been seen that does that. You will have to contact MSN.
Your blog really brought some things to light that I never would have thought about before reading it. You should continue this, I'm sure most people would agree you've got a gift.Excellent blog post, I look forward to reading more.Thank you for bringing more information to this topic for me. I'm truly grateful and really impressed.
i think this is the best video.
This is really nice and intertaining vedio.

I know it's a hated post, but is a GENUINE question. I was unsure, that's why I asked on Meta
- Whenever I see a user with username as
user2347894I ask them to use proper names.
- Whenever I see a user a new user or basically below 50 rep, or acceptance rate is below 70Most of the time only below 50, I ask them to make a habit to accept the answer,
- to increase the acceptance rate
- to give themselves some bonus point
- to help other know the working solution
- When I see identical answers, I ask them not to post such. Agreeing on the fact that it might be unknowingly
Today, I seem to have offended few users.
Your Common Sense and
Michael specially. So, should I stop doing this, or is there a better way to approach the new users, without offending them or sending the negative meaning?
May be they got me wrong, since I only comment on the post I am involved because, WHY would I comment on post I don't even see or answer, maybe they are thinking I am being greedy or selfish, or over competitive over the reputation.

Esmark focuses on its core
Pipe for natural gas among options
January 28, 2013
YORKVILLE — Though the plant still sits quiet, Esmark Inc. officials believe they are getting closer to starting the Ohio Cold Rolling Co. facility formerly owned by RG Steel....
Gee, silly me. I just thought maybe the workers were interested in getting the mill open; up and down the valley, not just in Yorkville.
I am not an econ major or math, but let me see if my math works a little.
Steel Mill Yorkville average wage Apprx $20/hr. Mingo average wage -0- Steubenville -0- Mingo polce $10/hr.
Approx 1000 laid off workers -0-
If we paid them $10 per hour verus $20 per hour, we could afford twice as many workers.
Or if the company saved that $10 an hour they may be able to open more departments.
Mingo would closer to flush, and some services might be restored.
Maybe if the workers didn't think the "golden goose" would live forever; the mill might be running.
Just saying.
By the way, my Dad worked for 30+ years in the mill, my mother gets $108 A MONTH...then they take 101 for insurance.
Wow, great negotiating over the years.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Why does the wages of the police force in Mingo have any impact of the wages of the workers in Yorkville?

A job and insurance is great these days.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
If the police in Mingo can work for $10 per hour; the mill workers can too.
well, maybe 15 bucks would be better.

CRANFILLS GAP (February 5, 2013)—A Gatesville man died and another was critically injured early Sunday morning in a single-vehicle crash near Cranfills Gap in Bosque County.
Department of Public Safety trooper Teddy Brock said Carlos Kane Necessary, 27, died at the scene just after 2 a.m. Sunday on Farm-to-Market Road 219 about 2.4 miles east of Cranfils Gap.
Scott George Tatum, 29, was listed Tuesday in critical condition at Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center, in Waco, suffering from internal injuries and broken bones, according to a DPS spokesman.
Brock said Necessary was driving a 2002 GMC pickup truck eastbound on FM 219 when he crossed the center line on the highway and over-corrected to the right.
The pick up struck a culvert and went airborne, then into a side skid and finally into a roadside ditch where it overturned.
Neither Necessary nor Tatum was wearing a seat belt.

7 Adorable Animals That Spawn Terrifying Babies
If it wasn't for pictures and videos of cute baby animals, the Internet as we know it would probably cease to exist. But we feel that such widespread dissemination of cuteness may be giving you the wrong idea of what's actually out there; the truth, like nature itself, is a terrible thing to behold. Here are some of the other animal babies, the ones that you won't see on your aunt's Facebook page. Well, unless she's some kind of maniac. In that case, she'll just love posting close-ups of animals such as ...
#7. Three-Spot Moth
Known for (surprise!) having three brown spots on each of its wings, the three-spot moth is a stylish little dude, equally at home in casual or formal settings. Look at it: fuzzy little legs, spotted wings ... it's not adorable, exactly, but it's not far off. It can see adorable from its porch. Now, where did it come from?
Troy Bartlett, Canadian National Collection
A burned out world of shit, apparently.
We've already shown you how some animal species trick predators by camouflaging themselves as turds. It ain't dignified, but that's the survival game, son. Nature only ever rewards dignity with a screaming, spit-soaked death. So the caterpillar of the three-spot moth employs the old fake-poo defense, with one disturbing tweak:
Ashley Bradford
This guy is the Daniel Day-Lewis of pretending to be poo.
See those things dangling off the end of it there? Those are discarded heads. Its own heads, to be precise. This caterpillar actually retains its old head capsules from previous molts and keeps them around, attached to the body by long white hairs like some sort of nightmare dingleberry.
Troy Bartlett
Nightmare Dingleberry would be a great band name for guys with no intention of getting laid, ever.
This literal headdress assists the caterpillar with passive camouflage, but in a pinch it uses them defensively as well. Whenever the three-spot caterpillar feels threatened, it'll start violently thrashing around, causing the heads to rattle and bounce intimidatingly. It's even thought that the heads can be used to bludgeon an assailant into submission should it get close enough. You don't know PTSD until a living shit whips you with a flail made out of decapitated heads.
#6. Elephant Sharks
Uniprot / Tudiscovery
"Durr ... hey!"
Most sharks are sleek, ravenous killing machines. And then there's the elephant shark. He seems less like one of "nature's perfect predators" and more like what happens when fish cousins mate. He's got kind of a mentally disabled Dumbo look going on. He's so far from terrifying, he's almost comforting. But there is one area where elephant sharks excel in horror: their eggs.
All shark eggs are pretty weird, but elephant sharks produce something that looks like the crap H.R. Giger would take after a heroin balloon popped in his intestines.
Project Noah, Fossils Online
Not from smuggling it. From something much worse altogether.
These fish (despite the name, they're actually not sharks) can be found just east of Australia, the world's most ridiculously evil continent. Come breeding season, the females lay their freakish egg capsules, which can take up to eight months to hatch, and leave them in waters just shallow enough for unsuspecting tourists (that's you!) to squish between their toes.
Elephant Shark Genome Project
"Get the pan. Shark omelets."
#5. Pandas
Ablestock.com/AbleStock.com/Getty Images
Everyone knows pandas are cute and cuddly -- they're like giant stuffed animals. Even if you objectively know that they're immensely powerful bears that could dismember you in a heartbeat, there's something about that patchy face that says he wouldn't mean it, or at least would feel bad afterward. What most people fail to realize is that delightful pandas don't start out that way. They're not the fluffy, black-and-white ball of adorableness you've seen in cute gifs and conservation posters. They're more like somebody spliced creepy little baby arms into those worms from Dune.
National Geographic / China Newsphoto / Reuters / Corbis
If you have a gecko it can be Muad'Dib!
Those subterranean mole-wights are, of course, pandas fresh from the womb. The ones above have had some time to at least grow a little fur to distract you from those faces of eyeless soul-hunger. Go back even earlier, and they look like this:
Xinhua News Agency
In the first picture, it looks like she's coughing up the devil. In the second picture, it's confirmed.
What the hell? Do pandas not come with eyes? How do they get them? Do they ... oh God, do they steal them?
#4. Owl Moths
Meet the owl moth. Harmless to most anything that isn't a blend of nutrient-enriched fluid (which comprises most of its diet), this unassuming creature couldn't offend any sensibilities, no matter how delicate. Why, it was most likely even more harmless and inoffensive as a baby ...
josef hlasek
Don't fumble for your lighter. It can't reach through screens yet.
Just when you thought you'd seen everything, the Venom symbiote shows up in your garden and turns your tomato patch into something out of a Riddick film.
Incredibly, this monstrosity is the caterpillar version of the gentle owl moth, and while they might not be under the thrall of a murderous alien parasite, the origin story does have something of the supervillain to it: It was discovered on the edges of a volcanic crater on Italy's Mount Vulture.
josef hlasek
Named for its plentiful vultureberry bushes.
Those corkscrewing terror-stalks popping out of its head, also called "modified tubercles," aren't just for show. When perturbed, owl moth caterpillars rear up and wave them around menacingly like Cthulhu's face-tentacles. That should be more than enough to put most birds, which already have an accelerated heart rate, into full cardiac arrest. And if not, well, it can always call in its cousin ...
josef hlasek
Bullshit "non-poisonous." There's no way those tendrils don't kill people.

Vegas every weekend? How cool is that????
If you live in or near any of those select cities, you can fly to Minneapolis, then go practically anywhere! Even the Netherlands?! Jamaica? Very cool if you're retired and have nothing to do for a month. I recommend it.
You still need to pay taxes, which can be a bundle, but still a reasonably cheap way to see the US and surrounds.
You have to pay a 75 dollar regulation "fee" for domestic and 100 dollar "fee" for international. this is not a deal. look at their meager list of destinations and you will see that they stand to make money via fees anyway.
@tewkewl: That's a CHANGE fee, not a regulation fee.
No, the taxes and fees are pretty steep. Read the fin print. Its like 60 bucks for each 'segment' defined as one take off and one landing.
no the taxes are only 15 bucks per segment, less if your flight makes multiple stops.
The 75 domestic fee is if you change your plans.
so...you by the pass $499 then you call the ticket folks up, schedule your flight 3 days in advance. As long as you don't change your plan there is no additional fees. If you noshow, it is considered a change and you get tagged for it and can not schedule anything else until it's paid.
Its a great plan if you have family scattered around where they fly. You could visit one a week or every weekend. A flight from ATL to DFW and back alone will cost me nearly $200. Wish my grand daughter was due to be born in that time frame it would be a great way to see them....she's due Nov. 9 and SunCountry does not fly out of ATL.....bummer.


text: Here is another chibi based on an Adventure Time character. This is the gender swapped version of Jake. Here is "how to draw Chibi Cake", step by step. Cake is a kitty instead of a doggie. The dark colored coat goes away and turns into a yellow and white coat. She is in a floating state just like Jake was when I turned him into a chibi. All in all this will be a very simple task to tackle. Drawing chibi Cake is going to be one of the funnest and easiest new lessons that you tackle today. Peace out people and enjoy!
