Hey party people,
A quick update from the road - doing a couple shows in Boston, New Hampshire and Rhode Island with Dr. Drew. Was overwhelmed with how many people hung out for autographs and pictures after the shows. That's what I love about you guys. You're as loyal as they come. You've been good to me so I'm going to be good to you. By that I mean I'm going to bust my ass making a great movie for you. Even more so I've begun (with the help from my monkeys here at the warehouse) the monumental task of making and delivering all the rewards from the FundAnything campaign that you paid your hard-earned, stolen and/or borrowed from your mom dollars to get. Our goal is to have everything to you by the end of the year. We also just made a bunch of Road Hard stickers that will be an added in freebie goodie for everyone.
Yours in Christ,
Hey Kiddies,
I'm back from my big vintage racing weekend at Laguna Seca. Hung out with a bunch of other celebrity gearheads like Leno and Patrick "Dr. McDreamy" Dempsy and brought my lackeys along to film some stuff for my Paul Newman doc and to get a taste of the rich white guy life they'll never achieve. It was good times for all. I tinkered with the idea of throwing away all your Road Hard contributions at one of the auctions but then I realized that 1.4 mil would only buy a floor mat for some of these works of art.
So as we gear up with production, tinker with the script, add to the cast and nail down locations for the shoot be sure to keep checking here for updates. I'll be sure to let you know how I'm spending your money.
Hey Kiddies,
This Road Hard thing is really coming together. You might have heard Diane Farr on the podcast confirming that she read the script and will indeed be making out with yours truly. And that's why we need you to really come through here in the home stretch. If I get a boner when we make out that means we'll need to do a second take and second takes cost money.
As I said on the pod, the thing money buys you in the movie business is time. There's a bunch of things I would re-shoot from The Hammer. Not that it didn't turn out good, but you know my hyper-vigilance. A couple more shoot days, and thus a couple more thousand dollars, we could have gotten some details nailed down a little better, fixed a couple shots, got a few more takes from Ozzie and really made it amazing!
Our funding goal of a million bucks was a number I kinda just pulled out of my ass because that's what The Hammer cost me. I want Road Hard to be better. And I think it can be because of the great cast, me sitting in the director's chair and YOU.
That's right. YOU made this all possible by sending in your money. It was like a little March of Dimes for one rich white guy. I'm flattered, humbled and hopeful. You didn't let me down and I won't let you down.
Party hard this weekend. You deserve it. I'll be back on Monday with a podcast about my vintage race weekend and to thank you for all your help as we close out the campaign.
Until then keep spreading the word. There's probably still a few of your stoner buddies who haven't kicked in yet but will want to see this movie.
- Ace
Hey Kiddies,
I was gonna take a little break this week and run best-of episodes but then I realized that we're in the home stretch on our FundAnything campaign for Road Hard and we wanted to finish strong. So I did what any true hero would do - I told my lackeys to cancel their vacation plans. We're doing some cool shows this week featuring people who are in the movie or connected to it in some way. Or they were just a good guest who was available.
The point is I didn't want to turn off the spigot quite yet. You all have been kicking serious ass spreading the word and tossing your own money into the kitty and we appreciate it. And since I know many of my fans aren't like you early contributors they're lazy stoners and low functioning alcoholics, I decided we should keep the party train rolling through the weekend. Thus I hereby decree the campaign goes on until midnight on Monday the 18th with a little celebratory Monday morning podcast action.
So don't blow that Friday payday bread on beer and hookers this weekend. Send a little love my way and I promise you won't be disappointed.

Hey party people,
Just wrapped up a hell of a podcast with Jay Mohr and Dennis Miller. Two great guys and great comedians. Both of whom know a lot about the life of a traveling stand-up. Which reminds me...
Road Hard. Just because we crossed the million dollar mark doesn't mean the fundraising party train needs to stop rolling.
Hey my million dollar babies,
Last week was a great week. Had a fantastic show at the Wiltern with my pal (and Road Hard cast member) Jay Mohr and you HEROS got Road Hard past the million dollar mark. We're now officially going to get it on.
But that doesn't mean we're done. Just because we have enough scratch to make the movie doesn't necessarily mean we have enough to make it as great as it could be. There's still a lot of cool rewards dangling out there for you to grab up (Yes, ladies, feel free to grab my dangling rewards). So keep on keepin' on with the fundraising and word spreading so we can make the best damn movie we can.
We'll be able to shoot on more locations instead of having all the sets look suspiciously like my garage. We'll get some real cameras and lights instead of an iPhone and a Bic lighter. The crew is still gonna be fighting over one chubb pack of Lance Snack Crackers at the craft services table...not gonna waste one single penny of your money on food.
But let's do this for real.
UPSTART Business Journal - Adam Carolla hits $1M 'Trumpfunding' mark
MarketWatch - Adam Carolla Raises $1 Million For Movie Project On Donald Trump's FundAnything.com
Crowdfund Insider - Crowdfunding on FundAnything Platform Carolla Surpasses $1 Million Target with 15 Days Left in Campaign
Hello my Million Dollar Minions!
You did it before. And now, you just did it again!
A couple years back I asked you to help me take the Guinness World Record for Most Downloaded Podcast from that slimey limey Ricky Gervais. And you patriots came through. We captured that title for the good old U.S. of A.
This year I asked you help me raise a million bucks to make my next independent film, Road Hard. I asked for your support on July 3rd. There's some nice symbolism there. On the eve of our Independence Day I asked you to help me fund my independent movie, free from the shackles of the studio system.
Well you guys have come through in a big way. We're officially going to get it on and make Road Hard. In fact, we cracked the million dollar mark in less than a month so now we have a nice new record to flaunt, like our previous Guinness victory.
Make no mistake about it, you've kicked some major ass and there's a couple reasons this is so important:
1) Having this record is going to create a nice buzz around the project so that when it's complete it will get the recognition it deserves. My last movie, The Hammer, got some critical acclaim and the fans loved it but it didn't really get out there because it was hampered by the traditional studio distribution bullshit.
2) But more importantly, getting this funding in record time is a nice slap in the face to Hollywood and the old system. It's a great way to say that you, the fans, are in charge now and the rules of the game have changed.
You Got It On! You Sent a Million Dollar Message!
P.S. This isn't the finish line, it's a starter's pistol (insert self satisfied SNIIIFFFF). We've still got to make the movie that you all want to see. And we can make it a really, really great movie if you keep spreading the word and kicking in. The rewards that are still available are still available and the more money we raise the more money we can put into the project.
You want this bitch to win an Oscar? Keep on spreading the word.
Join the Road Hard Roast #Roadhard in celebration of our $1,000,000 record breaking FundAnything campaign. Adam will be tweeting live with comedians whose only goal is to make him cry. The fun begins at 8/2/13/ at 4:30 pacific standard time.
If you're not familiar with twitter here are directions:
•If you don't have a twitter account, make one, its super easy.
•Type in #roadhard in the search box at the top of the screen, then it will pull up all #roadhard tweets NOTE: make sure you have the selection on ALL tweets not TOP
•Start rapid firing your jokes, music or whatever else you see fit but make sure to put the hashtag #roadhard in it so we see it, join the conversation
•@Kevinhench will be there as well, the writer of the movie, beat him up too
Update - July 31
Hey hosers,
Just back from being great and white in the Great White North. Had a nice stand-up gig in Vancouver. Man, Vancouver can party. One lovely little Canuck brought me six tequila shots throughout the show and eventually had to be removed by security. It was a good night.
That makes me think, just because your dollars are Canadian and have a picture of the queen on them doesn't mean we won't take them. We'll take a little Canadian wind in the sails of the pirate ship on our mission to fund Road Hard.
By the time you read this we'll be past $900,000 and less than $100,000 away from our target of 1 million. And we've still got more than two weeks to go Amazing, absolutely amazing. I can't thank you all enough.

Greetings my little foot soldiers,
I don't know if you've noticed but when it comes to the entertainment business the power has shifted from The Man to The Fan.
You guys are in control - whether it's watching your DVRs, live streaming content without even owning a TV or free listener supported content like my podcast - you decide when, where, who, and how.
And my new Road Hard movie is just the latest example of how you - the fans - have helped me give a hearty 'fuck off' to the man.
When my radio station flipped format in 2009 so a robot could play Rhianna records you responded and gave me the number one podcast. You put it in the Guinness Book of World Records. All I did was put out the content and you spread the gospel. And now you're doing it with Road Hard.
You're helping me do what Hollywood never would - make a movie that isn't focus grouped to death by a bunch of fat retards in Florida, doesn't have a team of lawyers telling me I can't do shit, doesn't have a bunch of hack writers fucking up the script. You're letting me deliver the content that YOU THE FANS want.
This wasn't possible a few years ago. But now it is. And you guys have risen to the challenge. Thank you. But more importantly thank yourselves. You're not doing this for me. You're doing it for you. To get the movie YOU want to see that THEY wouldn't make.
Keep fighting the power
- Ace
Hey little buddies,
If you know anything about me it's that my word is my bond.
Here's my promise to you, the contributors to Road Hard. I'm going to make a movie that you want to see. It won't be focus tested or vetted by a bunch of humorless old bags like my sitcom pilots were. This will be my words, my direction, and my production. It'll just be your money.
And in exchange for that money the rewards promised will be great quality and delivered on time.
And finally, your support will not go unrecognized. Your name will be in the credits of my movie and will live on forever.
So please keep on spreading the word on Twitter and Facebook. I promise if you don't let me down, I won't let you down.
Hello my little ragamuffins,
Well we had a great run at Caroline's this weekend that you all can enjoy listening to throughout the week. In the meantime I'm as pleased as punch to say that we are now past the $700,000 mark on the FundAnything campaign for Road Hard. To put that in perspective - with that kind of dough you could buy my dad's first A-frame house in the Valley 47 times.
And it's all because of you. As a little thank you and encouragement I put some more outtakes from the Bryan Cranston video up on the site. That guy is just a ball of talent.
I've also got some new rewards. You and a friend can come to the podcast studio and then have lunch with me (If you're gay we can make it brunch). And the big prize, my offer to do stand up at your house, just expanded. It was only for people in the LA area but now I'll make the pilgrimage out to your place in New York, Minneapolis, Portland, Chicago, Vegas AND Seattle. And I'll do it twice if more than one person from each city wants to cough up to have my hairy ass grace their place.
That's it for now. Keep on truckin'.
You saw the final product...now take a look at some of the outtakes!
As I'm busting my ass on stage right now doing 5 shows from Caroline's I'm going to dispense with the update and just let this letter speak for itself. It warms my cockles.
Subject: Why I Invested in Road Hard...AKA Adam Cures Cancer!
Upon hearing about your FundAnything campaign, I immediately decided to make a donation. I imagined it would only be a matter of time before scrutiny followed a process whereby a millionaire is sticking his proverbial hadn out towards the masses. And so I wanted to share, for whatever it's worth, the reasoning behind my $180 investment in Road Hard.
Why I invested in the Ace Man's dream...
You cured my cancer - well, kind of... In May, 2009 I was diagnosed with late-stage gastric cancer and was given six months to live. How am I still here? Simple - a strict regimen of the Adam Carolla Show Podcast. I began listening daily and the rest is medical history. (1)
I owed you - I still do! Doing some back-of-the-envelope math, I came up with the fact that you have provided me with about 1,800 hours of the podcast - all for FREE! (22 podcasts per month x 53 months x 90 minutes per podcast = 1,800 hours) And so my $180 contribution becomes the equivalent of paying you $0.10 per hour for your comedic genius - you could be making Apple products in China for those wages! (2)
You have feelings, too... It is a noble, yet I imagine an emotionally draining, undertaking to publicly put one's goal out there and risk falling short. While few will shed a tear for a rich celebrity, I have to imagine that it would nevertheless be a taxing experience to have to admit that you failed to achieve your stated goal. Sure, you'll wipe your tears with $100 bills, but still...
Godspeed to you, Adam Carolla - whatever the f--- that means... I look forward to going to the theater and not having to put on some ridiculous Urkelesque 3D glasses on just to enjoy a movie... Wait, Road Hard isn't 3D, is it? I take it back if it is!
Kind Regards,
Frank L
New York, NY
(1) Well, kind of... I also underwent an aggressive surgery followed by the painful infusion of five different chemotherapy agents and an intense radiation schedule. So yes, Big Pharma and some talented surgeons, oncologists and radiologist also deserve *some* credit. But again, my battle was characterized by random pokes, prods, medicine and humiliating night gown but the one constant was the podcast.
(2) I still do! If I simply paid you something approximating minimum wage ($8 per hour), then I'd "owe" you $14,400 - it looks like my contribution came up short by about $14,220... Would you settle for the fact that I'll be celebrating my birthday at the 8pm show tonight (July 19) at Caroline's with my wife?

Hey kiddies,
As you know I attended Kimmel's wedding this past weekend. It was a star studded affair and a great time. A lot of people there were asking how things were going and I couldn't help but sing the praises of my fans for how much they've been kicking in for Road Hard. I also couldn't help but sing "The Kid is Hot Tonight" by Loverboy at the pre-wedding Karaoke party. If you ever get the chance to see me belt that one out it is a thing of majesty.
Anyway. Road Hard. Here's how you know I'm serious about this shit. We just added a new reward and it's a big one. I'm gonna perform a personal private stand up comedy set at your house. That's right. 45 minutes of me, on my feet, making the mirth in your piece of shit two bedroom apartment. Then I'll hang out after and eat all your food and drink all your booze. What more could you ask for? Well don't. I think that's plenty. Sure it's no Kimmel wedding with a bunch of A-listers but fuck you. How often do you get a genuine celebrity in your house? None, unless Andy Dick show up there drunk one night thinking it's his place.
Keep on keeping on my little henchmen,
David Allen Grier is so excited to be in my movie
Get in on!
Well, as some of you may have heard on the podcast I got a nice fat raping from the city of Los Angeles in the form of a $68 parking ticket while I was parked in the alley behind my own fucking restaurant. Before this gets too ranty I'll cut to the chase. Like all tragedies this is the time to pause and think. What would I rather be doing with that sixty-eight bucks? Well I can think of one thing...
Crowdfunding my new movie. Yes. Take a moment and think of how much money The Man is taking from your check every week and how many times you've gotten hit with a parking ticket or a jaywalking ticket. So why not spend some of that scratch on something we both need...cash for my movie. (See how I turned my life lemons into lemonade?)
And we've got some new incentives for you to cough up a couple sheckles. We've got a nice certificate of appreciation that says you officially gave a nice "Fuck You" to Hollywood (suitable for framing, by the way), you can upload video of you doing a comedy and if we like it you could be featured in the movie doing stand-up (including a trip to the premiere), and the big one - be an EXECUTIVE PRODUCER on the movie. You'll get full credit in the movie, get to attend parties and premieres and you don't have to do shit. Just like a real executive. All the details are on the page.
By the time I finish typing this and my monkeys upload it we should be north of $500,015. That's more than halfway there. I simply can't thank you enough for contributing and spreading the word.
"My fans are so loyal and have supported all my other projects – the podcast, my books, and my line of booze, Mangria. I couldn't imagine making a movie without enlisting them." – Adam Carolla
We had some fun and Mangria at the Press Conference. I gave away some Road Hard shirts.
Stand-up comedian Bruce Madsen is Prometheus, chained to a rock, having his liver pecked out by eagles. Only in his case the rock is the depressing circuit of comedy clubs he can't escape and his tormentors are the endless carnival of nickel-and-dime club owners, horrible emcees and retarded TSA agents that populate the torture chamber comics call "the road." Bruce has one simple question: What the hell happened? It seemed like just yesterday his TV show was a hit, he had a hot young bride and his phone wouldn't stop ringing. Like his mythological Greek forebear, Bruce was bringing fire from the Gods to the masses then taking it to a whole new level by using that fire to light his farts on national television. Showbiz, baby. But the never-ending money train veered off course somewhere in the switching yard and Bruce ended up in an Econo Lodge in Addison, Texas, headlining a half-empty club, trying to cobble together his alimony payments and a college fund for his daughter. Maybe it's just the box of wine and Nicorette talking, but Bruce is hearing a voice loud and clear. He must get off the road. Road Hard is the story of that journey.
Thank you.
Good job my little henchmen. We're officially halfway there. We just crossed the $500,000 mark.
Your loyalty and support has and will continue to amaze me.
That said, helmet's not a chair gentlemen. No time to rest on our laurels, whatever the fuck laurels are. Use this moment to increase the momentum. Tell a friend we're halfway there and they could put us over the top. Go, now. Facebook. Twitter.
I'll see you at a million.
Hello my little chick-a-pees,
Ace here with a quick update on the road to making Road Hard.
Had a nice little press conference yesterday with the cast, the guys from FundAnything and the man himself, Donald Trump. So check in for an update on all of that. We'll be posting the video soon.
You guys are kicking ass on the fundraising. As I write this we're mere inches away from four hundred twenty five grand. So keep on spreading the gospel.
We've added advance private screenings in 4 new cities, including a Q and A with cast members and moi (that's mexican for "me"). So if you're in New York, Chicago, Vegas or Minneapolis get all the details on the site. We've got special early bird pricing available for these 4 cities but they'll go fast, there are only a few tickets left for the advanced screenings in LA, Seattle and Portland.
We just tossed some other cool new shit as incentives too, like autographed photos and a coffee table book about the making of the movie.
That's all for now.
FundAnything put me on a billboard in Times Square
Hey kiddies,
We're off and running it's time to really crank this thing up.
Spent a little time with Jay Mohr (and Big Mamma Got-it-all) last night talking about parental support. I'd be willing to bet all the money you guys have kicked in for Road Hard that not one of those dollars is from my mom or dad. So thanks for the support. I really, really appreciate it.
And it's has been one hell of an outpouring of support. $300,000 in one week is, as the dearly departed Huell Howser would say, amazing. Thanks to YOU, we're going to make a movie we both want to see.
The big Road Hard news is that this week I'll officially reveal the other members of the cast. Check back here for all the details. I can't reveal too much now but I will say four people in the movie are regular folks like you who gave substantial contributions to make Road Hard a reality.
And this week I'll be adding some exciting new rewards to make it worth your while. So spend that money before your old lady divorces you and takes it all anyway or before your fella blows it at the track.
I'm going balls to the wall over the next two weeks spreading the word. I hope you'll return the favor, my little tweeters and facebookies. And check back here every day for updates and new rewards.
I purposed to Jimmy Kimmel...he said no.
Hey Kiddies, Ace here, with the first of many updates. Thanks to YOU, the Road Hard campaign has kicked off and is kicking ass.
It has been the highlight of an otherwise miserable 4th of July weekend. Had a VERY long afternoon/evening with my nephew that involved two blown tires, a little too much Mangria and not enough man in my nephew. What the fuck is with 16 year old males who aren't into cars? And I mean, it's not just that he's not into F1 racing or vintage Datsuns, it's that he has no interest in even getting a license or driving at all. When I was his age you couldn't keep me from getting my license. Actually the driver's ed teacher who failed me, Mr. Gregory attempted that and I hope he's rotting in hell for it.
Anyway, I digress. If you want all the gory details on that story check out today's podcast with Jay Mohr. Back to the Road Hard FundAnything Campaign. YOU, my minions, are the ones taking much needed internet porn breaks to share on Facebook, post on Twitter and thus helping get this movie made.
We're off to a great start so I just ask that you keep spreading the word. Thanks for helping me give you a hearty F-U to the man. You're gonna love this movie, and I love YOU for being a part of it.
Dear Fans,
Adam Carolla here. Thanks for checking out our video and please forward it to your pals (or people you hate if they have a checkbook.) I'm not going to write too much because A) you know what to do and B) I don't want to be the chatty guy on a first date who yammers himself out of getting laid.
But just a quick reminder that my last movie, The Hammer, is sitting at an 85 percent audience fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which, believe me, is the only time I've ever gotten an 85 on anything. (I'm sure I didn't even deserve the C- GPA I was given at North Hollywood High School but they gave me C's to make sure I got the F out of there.)
When I launched the podcast Pirate Ship I asked you guys to help me keep it afloat and you have filled my sails with wind. Usually I supply the wind, but in this case I couldn't have done it without you. Now I want to launch a little whaling boat off the Pirate Ship to see if I can harpoon another feature film. It'll be called Road Hard, a rollicking R-rated comedy about a comic trying to get off the road. This one I'll be writing and directing with my buddy Kevin Hench (The Man Show, The Hammer) so you should know there will be at least one person with a college degree on set. State school, but still.
If you come through for me, I promise less than 20 percent of the budget will go up my nose. That is my solemn vow. And as you know, a Carolla's word is his bond. That word is usually "nap" but it's a promise my family has always kept.
Kevin Hench
RoadHard co-writer/director Kevin Hench is in his third season as an executive producer on ABC's Last Man Standing. A frequent collaborator with Adam Carolla since their days on The Man Show, Hench co-wrote The Hammer and exec produced network pilot vehicles for Carolla at CBS and NBC. Hench also had a long-running column on FoxSports.com, co-hosted the Spider and the Henchman podcast with John Salley and was a frequent guest on Jim Rome Is Burning on ESPN. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, actress Heather Juergensen (Kissing Jessica Stein, The Hammer).
Nate Adams - Producer
"Road Hard" Producer Nate Adams began his career in Hollywood as a screenwriter, he has written for such Hollywood stalwarts as Doug Davidson (The Departed, The Grudge), Greg Shapiro (The Hurt Locker), Mark Morgan (Twilight) to mention a few. In 2006, Nate started his producing career with the sports documentary, "King of the Streets", which aired on Showtime. Nate has produced and directed projects for Showtime, CBS, EA (Electronic Arts), History Channel, Spike TV, Animal Planet and the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (The Emmy's). Nate was born and raised in Montana and currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife Melissa.
The nitty gritty: Campaign rules & regulations
We plan to shoot the movie in December of 2013. However, this time and location is subject to change. If a set visit is part of your reward, we'll keep you updated so you can plan your visit accordingly.
If you earn the reward to receive a cast credit or become an extra , you must not be a member of SAG/AFTRA, and you must either be a US citizen or have a US work visa.
All extras must be over the age of 18. In addition, to visit the set or attend the premiere, you must be over 18 or accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. A parent or legal guardian will count as your plus one.
You have the freedom to create voice and video messages of your choosing. However, if I find the content inappropriate, I ultimately reserve the right to refuse to say or do what you request.
Additional paperwork may be required for some rewards. For example, if you're appearing in the film, you will have to sign a release.
In certain cases, the final cut of the movie may require additional editing in order to meet the laws of the country in which it's being viewed, or for various media types.
For various reasons, all shooting locations are subject to change. Locations may change based on the amount of money we raise and the rules and restrictions of particular locations.
This fundraising campaign is all subject to applicable FundAnything rules/regulations, movie guild rules and applicable laws. If any of these conflict, we will work with you in good faith to provide a substitute reward.
When it comes to movie making, expect the unexpected. It's an exciting journey full of twists and turns. We prepare as best we can, but things don't always go as planned. All we can hope for is to make a movie we can honestly say we're proud of. If you're up for the challenge, I invite you to join the campaign and become part of the Road Hard team. Thanks for believing in this project and making it come to life!
You will need to provide your own transportation and lodging ( if necessary) to any event unless otherwise stated
Character name MUST clear legal department.

Is it possible to check if a proof is correct algorithmically(especially with computer aid)?
I ask this question because I find that a lot of time is taken up during lectures going through the proof of the theorems, which is basically just checking someone else's work(IMO). I think time is better spent if the ideas behind the proof are discussed (how to develop such a method to solve such a problem). Also, I find a proof without motivation very hard to follow.

Some people have started using treadmill desks to allow themselves to exercise while they are working. Apparently, it allows them to burn "100 to 130 calories an hour at speeds slower than two miles an hour". I am skeptical though, of the effect on productivity. Firstly, the walking sounds like it would be distracting and secondly typing might be harder (and less ergonomic), when walking. What effect do these desks have on productivity?
It's hard to estimate. I've been using one for 9 months now and can not conclude one way or another due to the constantly varying complexity of my work and other inestimable variables.
I can say though that I'm still walking as much as I was 9 months ago and have no plans to stop. Lack of focus in my job means no pay so I'd stop it immediately if I noticed a detrimental effect on my productivity.
Walking becomes second nature—you don't even realise you're doing it. I don't believe in tracking how many miles I do in a week or whatever as many officewalkers do—I just have it as an invisible part of my workflow, just like sitting on a chair. It still however amazes me when I turn the machine off and notice how many miles I just walked without even thinking about it.
But that's at speeds around 2mph. There's no sweating, heavy breathing or thinking of balancing at such slow speeds. Mouse or keyboard control is no problem at all. Precision graphic work however requires me to jump on the treadmill rails or turn off the treadmill off.
Going faster than 2mph I find I start to become aware of the walking. 3mph is fine for reading technical works, but I found my focus in solving complex problems started to suffer.
Another aspect of the treadmill I like is the beat of my footsteps gives that same effect as the ticking of a Pomodoro timer--it keeps work moving along and makes it feel like you're on a mission rather than just sitting around. It stops me getting too bogged down in a problem.
Maybe healthier body, healthier mind rings true, I don't know--there are too many variables. I'm not overweight any more because of the treadmill so tend to go out more and work less hours, but I feel those hours are more productive.
If you're overweight then you have bigger issues to solve than being maximally productive. It's hard to be maximally productive when you're sick yet again or stressed because of your weight.
If you hate exercise, then this is like giving soup to kids to get veges into them.
I tried working on an exercise bike before the treadmill and I tried a stand-up desk. I found both affected my productivity and made me sore. The treadmill I love.
I've been treadmiling while working for almost two years now. I develop code and run my company on it. I really like it and my experience is similar to the other comment above. I walk a minimum of 5 to 6 miles a day and feel that it works great for me. I am naturally coordinated and athletic so it feels natural. A friend of mine who is also athletic can't do it. He said it was too hard to do both at once. Just didn't work for him. You should just try it sometime. I feel really good. One thing you'll quickly learn is that you need good shoes. I naturally move from the treadmill to a chair with the laptop on my lap as my body feels like I want to (usually because my feet are a little sore). I'd say sore feet is the biggest challenge I have with it and that meant going to a running store and trying lots of shoes to find just the right ones and then switching between them. I have four nice and different pairs. And when my feet are sore, for whatever reason they will be more sore somedays then others, I wear Crocs. Highly recommend treadmill walking if you can do it. Some of the best concentration happens after a stretch of walking when I get off the treadmill for half an hour, say, since I am oxygenated but not sluggish from sitting yet. Once I feel the slug kicking in, time to jump on the tread'. Please take care of yourself. Computing while sitting all day is unhealthy due to sedentary blood-flow and other issues. Your body was made to move. A body in motion stays in motion.
Also, according to Dr. John Medina in his book Brain Rules...our brain benefits from cardiovascular activity 3 times a week (30 minutes each session). This improves our brain's executive function...
In the book he also criticizes the current school system where students spend most of their time sitting sedentary at desks to learn. He proposes more physical activity interspersed throughout the day.

Burton started in 1977 when founder Jake Burton Carpenter had a dream of reinventing life on the slopes. Burton turned the wheels into motion of what we think of as modern snowboarding. From his factory in Europe he made something completely new, the snowboard, inspired by the then popular snurfer. Burton since his beginning didn't just work on creating the best snow gear out there, he worked with parks and resorts in allowing snowboarders on the slopes, making the sport both more popular and more accessible.
Burton has since become the world's largest snowboard company, producing boards for a variety of riding styles, bindings and boots and of course a wide range of snow clothing including jackets and pants for the icy slopes and t-shirts and hoodies for when things heat up. So grab yourself a piece of snowboard heritage and pay homage to where it all started.

Study: Fussy Babies Linked to ADHD Risk
April 20, 2011 -- Babies who cry excessively and have difficulty sleeping and feeding may be at increased risk for behavioral problems during childhood, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a study shows.
Close to 20% of all babies show signs of "regulatory issues" such as persistent crying, sleeping issues, and feeding problems during the first year of life. Most of the time these symptoms are transient and infants adjust by the time they reach preschool.
But "those with persistent regulatory problems in families with other problems may require early interventions to minimize or prevent the long-term consequences of infant regulatory problems," concludes study researcher Mirja Helen Hemmi of the University of Basel, Switzerland.
The new findings appear online in the Archives of Disease in Childhood.
Researchers analyzed 22 studies that looked at infant regulatory problems in 1,935 children. Ten of these studies looked at the consequences of excessive crying, four looked at sleeping problems, three concerned infant feeding issues, and five studies focused on babies with multiple regulatory issues.
Risk of behavioral problems was highest among infants who experienced problems in several categories. Most commonly, these problems were linked to ADHD and externalizing behavioral issues such as aggressive or destructive behavior and/or temper tantrums. ADHD is a behavioral disorder marked by impulsiveness, hyperactivity, and inattention.
Those who were at greatest risk for behavioral problems as children were also more likely to be from troubled families, including those with psychosocial problems and problems interacting with each other.
What Is 'Excessive' Crying?
All babies cry, and it can be difficult to soothe them at times. Excessive crying refers to intense, unsoothable bouts of crying for no apparent reason in the first three months of life. Babies with sleeping difficulty have trouble settling in at bedtime and don't sleep through the night without interruption. In the study, feeding issues were characterized as vomiting, food refusal, little appetite, and/or swallowing problems.
It used to be that fussy babies were called "colicky," says Penny Glass, PhD, a developmental psychologist at the Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. "Now what used to be accepted as colic is often diagnosed as mild reflux symptoms and treated," she says. "A lot of babies who spend a lot of time being irritable respond quickly to these treatments."

Einstein Healthcare Network is offering free Tay-Sachs disease screenings to those of Irish descent. Screenings—which involve a simple blood test—are free to those who participate. To be eligible, participants must be at least 18 years of age and have at least three grandparents of Irish descent.
Tay-Sachs Disease is a fatal neurodegenerative disease that can be passed on to children when both parents are carriers of an altered gene. Babies born with Tay-Sachs disease appear normal at birth, and symptoms of the disease do not appear until the infants are about four to six months of age when they begin to lose previously attained skills, such as sitting up or rolling over. Children then gradually lose their sight, hearing and swallowing abilities. These children usually die by the age of five.
If the carrier rate turns out to be high, than large –scale screening initiatives—like those conducted through the Victor Center for the Prevention of Jewish Genetic Diseases at Einstein and other facilities throughout the country—could identify carriers before they pass on the Tay-Sachs gene.

I have three text fields populated as follows: 1, 9, 1 that I need to concatenate into a field that looks like 01.09.01. Getting to 1.9.1 is easy but can anyone help out with how to formulate it so that each value has two places (i.e. add in those zeroes). I used to do this in Excel but can't figure out how to work in ArcMap 10.
Use the zfill() command in Python. Set your Field Calculator parser to Python, and do this:

The str() conversion function is needed for each field reference in case there are any null values as the default field calculator behavior when a null is encountered is to stop execution and skip to the next row.

Areas of Deprivation
Deprivation is more than just poverty. Poverty is not having enough money to get by, where as deprivation refers to a general lack of resources and opportunities.
Deprivation is measured by calculating the relative deprivation across a range of economic, social and housing issues (know as domains) and can be combined to give an overall 'score'. This is then used to create the Index of Multiple Deprivation.
The Index of Multiple Deprivation is produced by the Department for Communities and Local Government (CLG). The last one was produced in 2010.
It looks at relative deprivation in small areas across the country (known as SOAs – see definition below), and can also be used to compare relative deprivation across local authorities. These indicators can be used to
- analyse patterns of deprivation
- identify areas that would benefit from special initiatives or programmes
- determine eligibility for specific funding streams
Note: not all deprived people live in deprived areas and conversely, not everyone living in a deprived area will be deprived.
Key Facts
- 40% of Birmingham's population live in areas described as in the most deprived 10% in England.
- 23% of the population live in areas in the most deprived 5%.
- Birmingham is ranked the third most deprived Core City (behind Liverpool and Manchester).
- Birmingham is ranked the most deprived city on both income and employment deprivation, largely influenced by the size of the authority compared to other major cities.
- Birmingham was also ranked as the most deprived authority in the Country on both these scales in 2004 and 2007.
- Deprivation in Birmingham is concentrated in a ring around the city centre
- Over half (61%) the SOAs in Birmingham are ranked in the most deprived 25% in England on the overall Index.
- Two fifths of Birmingham SOAs are ranked in the most deprived 10% in England
- 12 of Birmingham's SOAs are in the most deprived 1% in the country, in Soho, Sparkbrook, Washwood Heath, Nechells, Bordesley Green, Stechford and Yardley North, Kings Norton and Brandwood.
- 2 SOAs are in the least deprived 5% in the country, one in Sutton Four Oaks and one in Sutton Trinity
What are the Domains?
A score is calculated for each of the following topics using a number of nationally available measures of economic, social and housing issues which can be considered as indications of hardship:
- Income Deprivation
- Employment Deprivation
- Health Deprivation and Disability
- Education, Skills and Training Deprivation
- Barriers to Housing and Services
- Crime Deprivation
- Living Environment Deprivation
There are also 2 supplementary indicators that look at the affect of income deprivation on specific vulnerable groups: Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) and Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index (IDAOPI).
Details of the variables used in the calculations can be found in the attachment below.
Definition of Small Areas (SOAs)
The small areas used for the IMD are called super output areas (SOAs). There are a total of 32482 SOAs in England, each with a population of between 1,000 and 3,200. When created from Census output areas, SOAs fell wholly within wards but following the 2004 boundary changes this is no longer the case in Birmingham. They are small enough to identify problems within wards but large enough to avoid the dangers of breaching confidentiality.
How the Indices are calculated
Each SOA gets a score for each domain calculated using the range of selected variables. These individual scores are combined, using various methods of standardisation and weighting, to produce the overall index. Scores are ranked from 1 to 32482 where 1 represents the most deprived SOA in England and 32482 the least deprived..
Further information about the Index of Multiple Deprivation, can be found on Communities and Local Government web site, where you will also find regional analysis in the Technical Report and a Summary Report as well as the option to download the data for whole of England.
The following attachments contain further information on the overall index, the individual domains and details about the variables used in the calculation of the scores.

I'm writing a simple method to map routes to files and I've come across two ways to do it.
The first, and I guess used by most frameworks, is using the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] variable to extract everything after index.php:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
The second way is used in Drupal, and the route is simply passed as a query string.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [QSA,L]
Now, the "Drupal way" seems a lot simpler to me. With the other method you'd have to use "explode" on both $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] and $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] and then use something like array_diff_assoc to remove the script name and subdirectory name, if there is one. It's not THAT much work, but if with the Drupal way you can simply extract the $_GET['q'] value, why nobody does it that way? What are the disadvantages, if any?

Walking by the server closet I noticed that one of our servers (namely the one that hosts the company software/data) is beeping: low-high repeat. As soon as it started, I backed up all of the data stores to separate drives, but it's been fine since it started beeping yesterday afternoon.
Now I'm only the lowly software developer and our server/network admin is n/a so far, and no desktop machine I've ever worked on or with has had any serious problems before.
Details and Reiterated info without my dialogue:
- Beeping is low-high reapeating
- Intel Core2 Quad machine (if it helps)
- It's not one of the UPS'. I made certain that it was indeed the server beeping, and it was obvious considering that it's about 4ft high on the rack and the UPS' are on the floor.
- Runs Win Server 2k3
- Again, everything is still working fine. Even when I remote into the machine, there's no errors - nothing.

The 6 Craziest Disguises Ever Used in the History of War
The ancient Greeks made the Trojan Horse the most famous disguise of all time, which, as we've noted before, was a mind-blowing achievement in propaganda -- no one would really try to sneak past enemy defenses inside a huge wooden horse. No, in real life, armies have much, much stupider methods. Like ...
#6. The Papier-Mache Horse Carcass
During World War I, both sides sat in trenches for literally years on end, blasting away at each other until the terrain in between them came to resemble a barren, post-apocalyptic wasteland. This created a problem: How do you sneak out toward the enemy trenches without being seen when you've already obliterated everything around you until the entire landscape is just a flat expanse of charred dirt and corpses? Well, the French army had a perfect way to solve this: Disguise yourself as a dead thing.
The idea came when a horse broke loose, ran wildly toward the German trenches and got shot in what was probably the animal version of suicide by cop. "Hmmm," somebody said, "look at that horse carcass -- you could almost hide a dude inside one of those." Of course, hiding a soldier in the actual carcass would be crazy. No, they did the sane thing and built a hollow papier-mache replica of the dead horse, with a gun port elegantly situated in its anus.
Sometimes war has a dark grandeur. This was not one of those times.
After dark, a group of men sneaked out into no man's land right up near the German trenches, dragged away the dead horse and replaced it with the model with a sniper inside. He also had a telephone wire that ran back to his own trenches so he could send back reports of German movements.
They kept this up for three days before some German soldier just happened to spot a man climbing out of the dead animal they'd shot a few days before, probably thinking it was giving birth to him, like in that Ace Ventura sequel. Still, they destroyed the decoy, which didn't stop the French from trying it again a few more times.
Some attempts were better than others.
#5. Warships Full of Cross-Dressing Sailors Pretending to Be on a Cruise
Meanwhile, at sea during the same war, German U-boats were wrecking most of the Allied merchant fleet. The British noticed that the subs stayed far away from any ships that could actually shoot back, so it made sense to disguise the warships as small merchant ships. They also noticed that the subs surfaced when they attacked, so the idea was that they could lure the Germans to what looked like an easy target, then blow them to smithereens when they broke the surface. This was not by itself a particularly crazy idea.
But this disguise had to be convincing, by golly! Historians have written entire books about the British "genius for deception." They had a reputation to uphold, so this is where things got downright weird. The sailors donned costumes, so they wouldn't look like military when viewed through a periscope. Some of them dressed as women and walked around on deck snuggling with other dudes. Some dressed with fake parrots, or in blackface.
"It looks great, man. No way this offends literally everyone in the future."
They even choreographed elaborate displays where once a U-boat was spotted, they would act like panicked civilians and begin to abandon ship while making a show of running into each other and tripping and falling. Some crews would even jump into the lifeboats and pretend to accidentally leave someone behind, and he would stand on the railing screaming for them to come back and get him.
Meanwhile, guns were hidden all over the ships, behind normal-looking hatches, inside shipping crates, under fake smokestacks, behind false walls and inside fake lifeboats. Once the unsuspecting U-boat surfaced for the easy kill, the captain pulled a lever, all the trapdoors would open and guns would point out the sides and blow the baffled Germans to hell. Or that's how they tell the story anyway. You know how war stories are.
"-- and then I cock-slapped the entire 4th Panzer division across the Rhine."
Oh, and apparently at least 70 German submarines actually fell for this, and 14 of them were sunk, making cross-dressing sailors the seventh leading cause of death for WWI German submariners.
And the second leading cause of questioned sexuality.
#4. A Soldier Hidden Inside a Fake Tree (for Months)
Near Messines in Belgium in 1917, the Germans decided that they needed to spot artillery across a little patch of forest called Oosttaverne Wood, which was a pretentious name for a cluster of a hundred or so dead trees surrounded by mud and more dead things.
It's like a crop circle of sadness.
A spotter couldn't hide in the branches of a dead tree (it's easy to spot a guy when there are no leaves), and they had no fake horse corpses around. So, the Germans took some sections of steel pipe and built a 25-foot-tall armor-plated fake tree. It had bark made of painted iron. A soldier climbed inside and had a little seat and a tiny window to look out of and spy on the Brits.
Our guess would be that he spent a ton of time jackin' it. You'd have to, right?
Since a dead tree suddenly growing out of nowhere overnight would have looked suspicious, the Germans had to wait until nightfall and cut down one of the real trees. With artillery firing the whole time so the Brits wouldn't hear the axes, they cut it down and set up the fake tree in its place. It's the kind of disguise that, say, Elmer Fudd wouldn't catch, but you'd think one of the soldiers peering through binoculars on the other side would notice it eventually.
You'd be wrong -- the tree sat undetected for months, until the Brits tunneled under the German lines and blew up their trenches from below, like the opening scene of Cold Mountain, except 19 times over. Even then, the hollow tree was so well hidden that even though they were in control of the area and camping right next to it, no Allied soldiers noticed it for seven freaking months.

Research and Markets: The Global Market for HF RFID Will Triple From $2.9 Billion in 2008 to $8.6 Billion in 2018 According to N
DUBLIN, Ireland--(www.AllPayNews.com)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c84172) has announced the addition of HF RFID -- The Great Leap Forward to their offering.
HF is by far the most important frequency for RFID in value of market. This position will be strengthened in the next few years by dramatic improvements in HF RFID technology such as replacing the silicon chip with printed transistors, leading to 90% reduction in tag cost, new signalling techniques that improve many parameters, elimination of inlays and many other advances. This will make it a much stronger contender in supply chains and asset management. In addition, the standards for many exciting new markets for passive RFID, from RFID enabled phones to financial cards, national ID cards, passports and tickets are at HF and the new smart active labels will also be mainly at HF. Many applications typically met with LF RFID such as secure access and tagging metallic items are moving to HF. As a result, the global market for HF RFID will triple from $2.9 billion in 2008 to $8.6 billion in 2018, remaining a larger and more lucrative business than UHF passive RFID, the number two. This report analyses this great leap forward.
For over a decade, most RFID has been practised at High Frequency (13.56MHz). Last year, 50% of the global RFID market value was HF, expenditure on tags and systems at that frequency being ten times the amount spent on RFID at any other frequency. Its dominance was been retained as RFID entered a phase of rapid growth in the last two years mainly because of huge orders such as the $6 billion China national ID card scheme, the e-passport, now issued by over 70 countries, and financial cards such as the MasterCard Paypass. Gas cylinders and marathon runners previously tagged at LF are now tagged at HF.
After the huge orders we now see the huge improvements in performance. HF RFID is taking a great leap forward. Improvements of 50% to several hundred percent in range, tag cost, tag size, multi-tag reading, reader power, tolerance of environmental and electrical interference and more will be seen in mainstream applications, thanks to the breakthroughs of ten or so companies, most of them little publicised. For example, Kovio will print silicon nanoparticles into the few thousand transistors of a typical ISO 14443 tag at one tenth of the cost of the silicon chip. Cambridge Resonant Technologies offers 50% more range to one tenth of the reader power and smaller tags. NanoMas prints better performing HF antennas with one tenth of the material on the cheapest polymer films thanks to silver particles only a few nm across. Take the ten times improvement in multi-tag reading from Magellan and the ten times improvement in range from DAG and, excitingly, it can be seen that most of these huge leaps forward can be used together for even greater gains. It is likely to make HF pull ahead as candidate for the biggest emerging market of all -- very high volume item tagging. But there is more ... .
This unique 200 page report details the great leap forward in HF RFID technologies, with unprecedented advances hitting the market in the next two years and some earlier inventions entering the mainstream at the same time. Those of largest impact are covered, but we also examine the unusually large number of more modest advances that are now arriving. Together they may enable HF to retain its 50% share of the global RFID market as it that market quintuples in the next ten years because most of these advances are not available at UHF. We take a close look at the markets for RFID enabled mobile phones and contactless smart cards and tickets, showing how they will prosper together and we re-look at the tradeoff of Near Field UHF and HF for item level tagging in the light of the new advances. Particular detail is given on the most significant technical advances at HF such as those of Kovio and Cambridge Resonant Technologies. It is an unbiased assessment, with the problems of all these approaches being assessed as well as the opportunities. Standards are also considered, including the new HF standard ISO 18000-3 at HF and there is a glossary.

I have a problem with unlocking the keyring.
The problem is that every time when login, a window pops up and ask's for password to unlock the key ring.
How can this problem be solved?, such that the keyring unlocks automatically when I login.
I have loaded up my older desktop with Ubuntu 12.04 and changed the administrator from myself, michael, to my son, Tony! I also changed the administrator password to one I knew he would always use from the one I normally use for myself.
I now get a keyring authentication banner which comes up asking to authenticate but none of the passwords will work, either my own old password, nor his, nor 'none'!
I now have a computer which is fixed in time and space as I cannot update or add or remove software.
How can I annul the password requirements and start afresh?
Do I wipe the computer clean with a hard drive eraser and start again??
open passwords and keys then
Then you need to enter your current password (old password). Don't enter any password for your new one, or leave it blank.
You need to confirm that you will store unencrypted password. If you are sure that it is what you want, then just click "Use Unsafe Storage" button.

This year they estimated north of 10,000 people and 5,000 bikes from all over the nation. The show is totally free and they invite selected builders to build a bike each year. This year they raffled off two Shovelhead Harleys, one a complete 1969 restoration and another chopped out hardtail. The best of show winner, Matt Olson, won a round tripticket to the Hot Rod Custom Show in Yokohama, Japan.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) -- Gov. Steve Beshear has signed a bill that will strengthen Kentucky's human trafficking law by increasing punishments for offenders and bolstering protections for victims.
Human trafficking is forcing someone to work or engage in sex acts for money. The new law bars authorities from arresting juvenile victims and instead mandates that they receive treatment and other protections.
The law also requires offenders to forfeit property used in the crimes and pay a $10,000 fine, all of which would finance a fund for victims and training for police. The training will help authorities better identify juvenile victims, some of whom lie about their age and end up in adult jails.
The governor signed the bill Tuesday, the last day of this year's legislative session.
The link below will take you to the bill entitled House Bill 3.

I have an hp dv4 laptop running Ubuntu 10.10. While booting up, the laptop fan just runs excessively for a few seconds until the login screen appears. Then it functions normally for the rest of the session.
I've read somewhere that you can do some tweaking in boot options. When I checked it out it was given laptop fan always ON : Enabled so I disabled it. Now, while running the system the fan alternatively picks up speed and then slows down.
The laptop is not hot at all and the temperature is a bit cold here. Any help will be appreciated :)

To the editor:
This is in response to the story about Tammy Takach, the homeowner who thwarted a home invasion and robbery by holding the useless jerk at gunpoint. You go girl.
We need more of this. We need to protect ourselves against the wastes who think it's OK to come into our homes and take what doesn't belong to them. He was so tough that he had to hurl when staring at the barrel of that gun. He probably did something else, too, that they just didn't want to say. Hopefully, this useless bum isn't back out on the street again.
If he is, we know he won't be going back to Tammy's house again. To me, scums who commit these crimes because they're too lazy to work are far more dangerous than a pet raccoon. I'd personally recommend euthanasia for them, or neutering to change their attitudes. For sure, they won't be coming to my house after hearing that.
Tammy, you're my kind of woman. You did more to curb crime than all of law enforcement. Keep up the good work.

We inherited a Huffy Stone Mountain 26" mountain bike. We live on the 3rd floor of a walkup. It is quite difficult for her to carry the bike up and down the stairs. It has a fork with a spring suspension. Other parts of the bike look normal. When I pick up the bike, it seems to be front heavy. I'm not sure how much the bike is worth now...maybe $50 bucks maybe a little more? Is it worth trying to tweak it to make it lighter or should I just trade this one in?

Difficult to say without knowing more about the bike, but I'd trade it in for a better bike; Huffy has a rep for low-end, tank-like bikes. From your description, you'd need to replace the frame and front fork to see any significant weight savings.
Something with an aluminum frame like a hybrid bike would probably be easier to carry up the stairs, even though aluminum will give you a harsher ride.
Suspension forks are heavy, particularly on low-end bikes. Suspension usually makes sense for off-road riding. If your wife mostly rides on pavement, you can get a bike without suspension of any kind.

Families seeking a seat for their Kindergarten-aged child must apply for school during the designated period, usually January through February. Notification of placement follows a month later.
The NYC Department of Education policy is that all students zoned for a particular school will be guaranteed a seat in that school. However, in those cases when there are more applicants than seats available, a lottery is held to determine those children to be admitted and placed during this initial phase. Children who are not picked from the lottery will be:
Parents can apply to all schools they are interested in however in most instances placement is prioritized as outlined on the Department of Education website.
If your child is trying to enroll in the zoned school during a year other than Kindergarten, you may do so when you arrive in NYC or in advance of the start of the school year. In those instances when your zoned school is over-crowded and unable to welcome all of the students in the catchment area, families will be referred to the Office of Student Enrollment which may direct new students to another school in the district. Your zoned school will provide you with this information at the time you register. See New to NYC.
Go to the school with your child to register. Be sure that your child comes with you and bring the following documentation:

5 Soldiers Whose Horrific Injuries Only Made Them Angry
It should come as no surprise that battlefields see their share of brave men. Every once in a while, however, they see a man with a special kind of bravery, the kind that borders on suicidal. The spirits of such men can't be cut down, even if their bodies are. In fact, disabling them often just makes them all the more fearsome ...
#5. Stephen "Turbo" Toboz
When someone who is not a cartoon character is called "Turbo," it is usually safe to start screaming bullshit. Not so with Stephen Toboz, who happens to back his nickname up by being a Navy SEAL. In fact, he got it during the inhumanly hard SEAL training, where some of the fittest soldiers in the world drop like flies from exhaustion. Toboz, however, was hyper throughout the training period, ran incredibly fast and actually thought the whole thing was great fun.
Via sealswcc.com
"Push-ups in the sand? Fuck yeah I wanna do some push-ups in the sand!"
He made it through the training, naturally, and became a fully fledged SEAL who eventually wound up fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan. In March of 2002, Turbo was part of Operation Anaconda (we dare you not to think about G.I. Joe while reading that sentence), one of the first large-scale battles of the war in Afghanistan. He was part of a six-man team that had flown back into an enemy stronghold atop a mountain to rescue a captured teammate. Their helicopter was shot down but managed to land safely -- only to be immediately caught up in an ambush.
Via sealswcc.com
"Also, Steve spilled his Slurpee all over the dash."
As the team leader ordered them to withdraw, Turbo was hit by automatic weapon fire that somehow spiraled around his left leg, shattering bones and punching a hole the size of a fist in his calf.
Turbo crawled along with the team on all fours, barely visible in three feet of snow, fighting pain, blood loss and the -20 degree weather. Oh, and he fought the enemy, too. He actually provided cover for the rest of the unit all along, refusing to take any morphine for his near-incapacitating pain to be able to do so.
The Express
Winners don't do drugs! Not even when the medical professionals tell them to.
This went on for 18 fucking hours. All under a constant barrage of bullets and mortar fire.
In the end, they made it out alive. At that point Turbo had lost over three liters of blood and was only able to survive because the cold weather froze his wound shut. In the hospital, Toboz lived up to his nickname by getting annoyed at the slow pace at which his leg was healing. So he told the doctors to saw it the hell off and give him a bionic leg instead. They obliged, and Turbo rejoined his unit only nine months later. He still took part on active SEAL combat missions but soon started feeling bad that his new leg only gave him 95 percent ability (instead of his usual 800 percent).
Via sealswcc.com
"Is it just me, or is Turbo eating slightly fewer tanks lately?"
And thus ended Turbo's career as a badass SEAL warrior. He is now a badass SEAL trainer, bringing a new element of embarrassment for the recruits by running circles around them with just one good leg.
#4. Henry William Paget
Henry William Paget -- later in life titled 1st Marquess of Anglesey but understandably preferring to be called Lord Uxbridge -- commanded 13,000 cavalrymen and 44 guns of horse artillery while fighting Napoleon during the Battle of Waterloo. While leading his men in battle, Paget was struck, not by a musket, but by a goddamned cannonball.
National Portrait Gallery, London
Thankfully, he kept a spare one in his hat.
Upon noticing that his leg was pretty much ripped off, he decided to inform his nearby superior, the Duke of Wellington, that he was a tad wounded. The exhange was nowhere near as "AarghaarghaarghmylegMYLEG" as you'd imagine, but instead went like this:
Paget: By God, Sir, I have lost my leg.
Wellington: By God, Sir, so you have.
No kidding. They then presumably proceeded to have some tea and crumpets.
Cannonballs. How terribly, terribly droll.
Retaining his supernatural calmness, Paget then retired to the field hospital to have the useless limb amputated. While the doctor was hacking away with all the comfort and convenience 19th-century battlefield surgery could offer, the stoic lord's only reaction was probably a nonchalant, "My god, old boy, these knives seem to be frightfully dull." Immediately afterward, Paget, 47 at the time, joked to his men that it was about time he was cut instead of some youngster.
Those aren't cannonballs. They're scale models of Paget's left testicle.
After he recovered and mastered his new peg leg, Paget was right back in the field of battle, becoming a full-fledged general before retiring in 1852 with the rank of field marshal. If anyone ever asked him whether he missed his leg, he would just give them a puzzled look and ask them, "Who would not lose a leg for such a victory?" The man completely refused to see the point of a mere limb in the grand scheme of things.
Paget was a hardass commander, but that amputated limb of his gained quite a following, too. After the amputation, a shrine was set up where the leg was buried. Over time, it became quite a tourist attraction, and eventually the bones were actually dug up and put on display, to the chagrin of Paget's descendants. We think Paget himself would probably just have had someone cut his other leg off with a rusty spoon and give that to his family so that they would've stopped making that ungentlemanly racket.
National Portrait Gallery, London
"Why are you bickering about legs when there are millions of Frenchmen to fight?"
#3. Claus von Stauffenberg
Claus Philipp Maria Justinian Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg was a German aristocrat, an army officer and a multiple-time-winner in the Ridiculous Name Olympics. Stationed in North Africa during World War II, von Stauffenberg was targeted by an Allied plane while driving around in his jeep commanding his troops. Badly wounded, he was hurried to a field hospital where, seeing the condition he was in, they could do little more than hastily amputate a bunch of appendages and patch him up the best they could.
"Just make sure to pose this way for every picture you take and nobody will notice."
Now lacking a right hand, two fingers on his left hand and his left eye, as well as being seriously wounded in the legs, he still had to be evacuated on horrible bumpy roads to the better hospital conditions of Italy, an experience von Stauffenberg himself described as "exceedingly uncomfortable."
German Federal Archive
He described Hitler's handshake the same way. Also, "moist."
Von Stauffenberg spent the following months in Nazi rehab, and also in excruciating pain. The latter was partially because of the seriousness of his wounds, but mostly because von Stauffenberg was a firm believer in "mind over matter." This meant that, just as a matter of principle, the man refused any and all pain medication. Think about that the next time you stub your toe and reach for Vicodin.
Yes, of course he has his own action figure.
While von Stauffenberg was able to successfully tell pain to go fuck itself, the fact remained that he was now severely disabled. So did he just do the logical thing and sit out the rest of the war? Ha, of course not! Instead, having had plenty of non-medicated time to think through the whole Nazi Germany issue, he returned to service as a celebrated war hero and gained the trust of the leaders of the Reich, up to and including Hitler. He then promptly used this trust to become a key figure in a nearly successful conspiracy to kill Hitler.
Yeah. You might have seen the movie they made about him.
This was the reward history gave him.

My wife comes from a culture where preparation and eating of dried fish is very common (as long as one takes the proper measures to deal with the smell). She prepared for me recently a serving of dried mackerel, but it was sooooo salty that I could only bear to eat one or two bites. Can anyone recommend some sort of preparation method to counteract this excessive salty flavor?
The standard way to cook salt cod for dishes where you want to really remove the saltiness, such as brandade, is to soak it (for hours) in a couple of changes of water, and then simmer it in milk for half an hour to an hour. This might work with the mackerel. Not sure what you'd use it for after that, though.
Sprinkling a little lemon juice or vinegar on dried fish will mask the saltiness.
Spiciness is always a great way to mask saltiness. If you like spicy food, try crushed red pepper flakes in boiling vegetable oil for a flavorless spicy addition to any food.
As FuzzyChef indicates in his answer, the standard way is to soak in abundant cold water. The number of hours depends on the thickness of the piece. Some cod can be soaking for 48h with a change of water every 8-12h.
But, there is no need for simmering the fish in milk. You can use the fish as usual once the desired saltiness is reached.
If you don't mind the texture you could rehydrate the fish by soaking it in water for at least an hour. You could add them to a soup as well or eat with rice to help dull the saltiness.
I lived in Japan for eight years and have a Japanese wife. The reason the Japanese cook rice with no seasoning is because so many of the preserved foods they eat are so salty. I developed the habit years ago of eating large bowls of unseasoned rice along with small servings of salt preserved fish and vegetables. I might point out that the Japanese are among the longest lived people in the world so perhaps there is merit to this eating system.
Soak it in starchy water for 4-5 hours

I do not have time for this. I can count on my own two hands the number of days I have left with my husband at home before deployment.
I do not have time for complicated emotions. I do not have time for sulks. I cannot spend our last scraps of time together slamming doors and thunking cabinets and stomping around mightily.
So of course last weekend I was slamming doors and thunking cabinets and stomping around mightily.
Our 10-year-old noted all this angry activity and sidled up to his dad. "What's wrong with Mommy?"
"Mommy is mad because I'm going away. She doesn't want me to go," Brad answered, slipping an arm around him. "It is going to be OK, Honey. We always do this before a deployment and it is always OK."
The 10-year-old thought about this for a minute. "Then why do it?"
Good question, kid. I wish I knew why we do this. I'm pretty sure it is because my heart cannot keep up with my head.
This is our eighth deployment. My head knows this part of predeployment friction is a normal part of the process. My head understands how the slamming and thunking and stomping helps open a little space between us so that my husband can deploy.
So why does it hurt my heart to do it every time? Why does my heart insist on playing the Little Match Girl, hopelessly burning through the last days before deployment -- as if these are the last days we will ever have together?
There is only one answer to this: My heart is, in fact, stupid.
That's the problem with the heart, I think. It is too stupid to understand a logical argument. It is too stupid to be convinced that eight months apart is totally doable. It is far too stupid to understand that all this predeployment angst won't change anything.
The deployment is coming. So why does my heart insist on this nonsense?
I don't really have an answer for that. Deployment would be easier if we could approach it as a head-only proposition: Here are the papers you need to sign. Here are the things you need to pack. Be safe. Take care. I'll be right here when you come back.
The head gets more efficient with every deployment. Yet the work of the heart is slow. No matter how often you do it, if the heart is engaged, it never gets faster.
The work of the heart requires that a certain number of procedures should be followed. A certain kind of pain has to be distributed. A certain pulling and unthreading and parting has to be accomplished.
Experience does not rush that work. The head cannot invent shortcuts. Instead, we have to stop and wait for the heart to catch up. Because a heart has to do what a heart has to do.

The wreck was cleared and traffic was back to normal quickly after the investigation into the accident was completed.
