5 Classic Movies That Ruined Their Makers' Careers
#2. A Trip to the Moon Made Everyone Rich Except the Director
Star Film
A Trip to the Moon is a short science fiction film from 110 freaking years ago, back when things like putting people in space or brushing your teeth every day were nothing but crazy futuristic pipe dreams. The short featured mind-blowing visual effects for its time, like this iconic image of the man in the moon with a rocket in his eye:
Star Film
You don't even want to know what orifice Apollo 11 was aiming for.
Its director, Georges Melies, is held by many as one of the pioneers of cinema -- his influence extends to everyone from Martin Scorsese (who compared him to George Lucas and James Cameron) to the Smashing Pumpkins (who ripped off Melies for the clip of their song "Tonight, Tonight"). Even in its own day, the technical innovation and surreal storytelling made A Trip to the Moon a huge success ...
The Damage:
... for everyone except Georges Melies.
Melies, a Frenchman, had big plans to distribute his film in the growing American movie market for a buttload of cash. Unfortunately, American inventor and Cracked archenemy Thomas Edison had other plans. Keeping with his usual modus operandi of getting rich on other people's ideas, Edison decided to make pirated copies of the film and distribute them without giving Melies any royalties. Oh, did we mention that Edison was a pioneer of copyright law at the same time?
"Hear that deafening rush of air? That's the sound of how much I suck."
The movie was a hit in America, and everyone who showed it made a huge profit from it, while Melies made jack shit. Edison's dickishness had persuaded Melies to create Star Films, his American studio, but when Edison monopolized the film industry with his Motion Picture Patents Company, Melies had to sell Star Films to his rival. Melies struggled with the strong grip Edison had on his company, eventually losing the studio and being forced to abandon filmmaking. His films were melted and turned into shoes, and most of his best work is now lost.
"I've got two right here! Hahahahahahahahaha."
Melies lived the rest of his life in obscurity on a meager income, working at a toy stand at a train station. Fortunately, one day an adventurous young orphan discovered who he was and reunited Melies with a magical robot he created, which ... uh, wait, no, that's the movie Hugo. In reality, Melies did receive some recognition toward the end of his life, but could never make another film again.
#1. The Misfits Ruined (or Ended) Everyone's Lives
United Artists
You may not have heard of it, but The Misfits has one of the most impressive credits lists of any film ever made: It's written by playwright Arthur Miller (Death of a Salesman), directed by Hollywood royalty John Huston (The Maltese Falcon), and stars ultimate leading man Clark Gable (Gone With the Wind) and Miller's wife at the time, some lady called Marilyn Monroe (One in Every Four Sex Dreams Since 1952).
It was a perfect recipe for a classic, and that's exactly what the movie became -- the writing, directing, and performances are pretty much universally loved, and the movie has a 100 percent Tomatometer rating.
At least until Armond White finds out.
The Damage:
Pretty much everyone who had a hand in this thing ended up miserable or dead. Arthur Miller called it the lowest point of his life -- his marriage to Monroe was falling apart as the movie was shooting, and they divorced before it premiered. Oh, and speaking of Monroe, she had a drug overdose on the set. Huston sent her to detox for two weeks, then resumed shooting, even though she was clearly still a mess. The studio had already invested heavily in the film, so they couldn't let a little thing like their big star almost dying stop the production. As you may know, Monroe fell into a huge depression and finished what she had started a year later. The Misfits was her last film.
New York Daily News
"Marilyn? Marilyn who?"
Huston himself was no saint, though: He often showed up drunk and gambled so much that he ended up losing quite a bit of the production company's funding. Still, he got off easy compared to Clark Gable, who insisted on doing his own physically demanding stunts, including dangerous scenes with horses and being dragged by a truck for 400 feet. He died of a heart attack a few days after filming ended due to the stress.
It was no fucking picnic for the horses, either.
Then there's Montgomery Clift, the third biggest star in the film, who somehow escaped the shooting unharmed and went on to make other films. He avoided the curse of The Misfits! One day, a few years later, his friend informed him that the movie was playing on television and asked if he'd like to watch it. "Absolutely not!" Clift responded. Then he died of a heart attack. He was 45.
But, hey -- at least the movie is pretty cool.

How do cryptography in SSH(2) work (secure channel establishment, authentication)?
Does key authentication in SSH(2) protect from MitM by providing authentication and integrity and why?
How do cryptography in SSH(2) work (secure channel establishment, authentication)?
Does key authentication in SSH(2) protect from MitM by providing authentication and integrity and why?
I am sorry that I can not comment your post, and have to write this as answer...
But maybe you want to move this question to security.stackexchange.com.
And the security goal of key authentication is that both enities can be sure that the public key of the other person actually does belong to the other person. This should prevents a potential attacker from passing false keys to both parites in order to decipher their communication.
If by authentication and integrity you mean key authentication and key integrity, and by that you meant what i will just assume you meant, I would say yes, it protects from "this kind of" mitm attacks. But remember that there are still other methods to perform mitm attacks.
This is a very broad question. If you're interested in the details, then read the relevant RFCs that describe the SSH protocol. In particular:
Assuming you're referring to Public Key Authentication (where a client authenticates by proving they hold the private key of a pre-shared public key), then not directly/entirely. Public key authentication is a feature of the SSH Authentication Protocol, which runs on top of the SSH Transport Protocol, and generally assumes that the transport protocol provides confidentiality and integrity.
The Public Key Authentication does provide some protection against mitm attacks (by associating the proof of the private key with the SSH session ID), which will prevent the mitm passing on the private key proof as an authentication credential, but won't prevent an attacker using other credentials to access the target system.
The primary mechanism for man-in-the-middle prevention in the SSH Transport Protocol is the verification of pre-shared (or otherwise verifiable via some trusted channel) host keys.
RFC 4251 - The Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol Architecture discusses potential Man-in-the-middle attacks on the SSH protocol and the approaches taken to prevent them.

I have a Tau sniper I want to put on a rocky out-cliff, that would require using a non-standard base (a larger one). Is that allowed in the rules? Would it fly in a casual game?

It's a grey area, but it's preferred that models be played with the bases provided with them with some exceptions for scenic bases. Generally as long as you haven't modeled for a clear advantage(such as using a base that's 9" tall) most players will be OK with it. To be on the safe side, you should have a standard based guy to swap in for the scenic base model it it ever appears your custom base would have an effect on the game.
There was an issue a few years back at a GW sponsored GT where a Demon player who won the tournament used smaller than standard bases for his Bloodcrushers. It was felt that this gave his particular army an unfair advantage due to some of that codex's unique rules. As a result, most tournaments will have a policy like this one from the Nova Open:
Most players I know will try to conform to the big tournament guidelines. Of course, I play with a fairly competitive group that hits a few big GT's every year.

Men: Discuss PSA Testing with Your Doctor
October 11, 2011
Lebanon, NH
Make a decision based on your situation, advises Norris Cotton Cancer Center
New federal draft guidelines issued by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) that question the necessity of PSA testing for prostate cancer in men should be assessed by men in discussion with their physicians.
That is the recommendation of Norris Cotton Cancer Center (NCCC), the largest cancer center in northern New England and the only one that is a Comprehensive Cancer Center, as designated by the National Cancer Institute.
According to Mark Israel, MD, Director of NCCC, the draft guidelines are the natural result when science drives medical care.
"We are lucky that thoughtful people have looked at the entire body of information regarding prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing and have made a recommendation," said Dr. Israel, responding to recent media reports on the Task Force's draft recommendation, which was issued Oct. 6. "But it's also important for individuals to make a determination of what's right for them in consultation with their own physician - the person who knows their medical case history best and who is familiar with the latest information about the pros and cons of screening."
Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer among men, with approximately 30,000 men dying from the disease each year. According to the USPSTF, which makes recommendations about the effectiveness of specific clinical preventive services for patients without related signs or symptoms, "lifetime risk of diagnosis" for prostate cancer is currently estimated at 15.9%, or approximately 1 in 6. "Most cases of prostate cancer have a good prognosis," noted the USPSTF in its draft statement, "but some are aggressive; the lifetime risk of dying from prostate cancer is 2.8%."
Reports on the Task Force's draft guideline have appeared in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, CNN, among hundreds of media and Internet information outlets.
John Seigne, MB, director of the Prostate and Genitourinary Cancer Programs at NCCC, emphasized the importance of informed choice for patients. "Where there is medical uncertainty and debate between experts about the best course of action I believe that providing the patient with the tools to make an informed choice that is consistent with their personal values is the best course of action," he said. "That is why we have a Center for Shared Decision making at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, and that is why we have our informational Decision Aids to provide to men who are considering getting a PSA test."
About Dartmouth-Hitchcock Norris Cotton Cancer Center
Norris Cotton Cancer Center combines advanced cancer research at Dartmouth College and Dartmouth Medical School with patient-centered cancer care provided at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, at Dartmouth-Hitchcock regional locations in Manchester, Keene, and, in January 2012, Nashua, NH, and St. Johnsbury, VT, and at 12 partner hospitals throughout New Hampshire and Vermont. It is one of 40 centers nationwide to earn the National Cancer Institute's "Comprehensive Cancer Center" designation.

When I can access Window.getHeader().getTools() ?
I have seen in the code, that Window.initTools() is called during onRender(). Which is the earliest time, I can access Window.getHeader().getTools() and the call will not return an empty list? I have tested it with Events.Attach, but is it possible to get the information before this event?
25 Mar 2013 7:24 AM #2
At the end of render (which calls onRender), an Events.Render should be fired, indicating that the widget is now rendered. Attach fires every time the widget is attached to the document, which could happen multiple times. From my quick read of the code, I'm not entirely sure why the tools list isn't init'd before Render, but at least from a semantic point of view, Events.Render is more correct here than Events.Attach.

Thank you, I have changed it and it works.

La Casa had record of good service
This is in response to the June 15 article "How to rebuild La Casa."
La Casa Bienvenida (LCB) began as a VISTA program in 1972. It became a nonprofit organization in 1982, and its purpose was to enhance the quality of life of elderly Hispanics in Greater Waterbury. During LCB's 40th anniversary, it merged with the Hispanic Coalition, a 501-c (3) nonprofit organization. LCB's own 501-c (3) status was legally dissolved, and its resources were transferred to the Hispanic Coalition.

Your Body Hates You: 6 Gruesome Disorders Anyone Can Get
#3. Your Body Eats Your Brain (Opsoclonus-Myoclonus Syndrome)
That Sounds Fancy. What is it?
Anti-drug PSAs have long threatened that consumption of illicit substances will slowly devour your brain, rendering you a shell of your former self. This could well be true, but at least you got to trip balls before it happened. Opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome (a.k.a. Kinsbourne Syndrome) cuts out the pleasant euphoric middleman and just starts chewing through your brain by itself.
Opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome is an auto-immune attack on your brain. The mechanism for how it initiates is unclear, but researchers theorize that the pituitary gland starts a rumor that the cerebellum is housing WMDs and the immune system is obliged to tear the brain a new asshole while futilely searching them out. The attack has the surgical precision of operating with a hand blender, usually obliterating areas of the limbic system and brain stem as well. This hijacks control of basic motor functions, sleep regulation and emotional stability.
Though it probably finds a way to leave your ability to hate life intact.
I'm Scared. How Scared Should I Be?
Shockingly, this syndrome isn't fatal. So if you're the 1 in 10 million who develops it, rest assured that none of the facial tics, body tremors, bouts of confusion and rage, insomnia and instances of your eyes spastically jerking around in their sockets will kill you. Gosh, some guys have all the luck!
Man, How Much Does Your Body Hate You?
= As much as a vampire hates the sun.
#2. An Invisible Nail in Your Eye (Cavernous Sinus Granulomatosis)
That Sounds Fancy. What is it?
Imagine for a moment that one of the contact lens you're wearing starts to slip around on your eye. If you don't wear contacts, imagine you were inexplicably drawn to tuck something in your eyelid for safekeeping. No matter how you blink, squint or fish around for it, you just can't shake that uncomfortable prodding sensation on your most delicate tissue. Annoying, right?
Now imagine that contact lens is a 10 penny nail soundly lodged in your ocular cavity for days or longer. If you didn't have the balls to imagine it don't fret because cavernous sinus granulomatosis would happy to take the guesswork right out of it for you.
Cavernous sinus granulomatosis is a condition where channels behind the eye become inflamed, putting pressure on the bundles of nerves behind it. These nerves, not having the chops to secure a legitimate gig doing pain sensation on the outside of the body, can't miss their time to shine and really lay it on thick. This can also cause blurred vision and a tingling sensation in the forehead, but most patients seem to focus on the OH MY HOLY FUCK sensation of a nail in their eye.
The condition is idiopathic, a term constructed from Greek roots idios and pathos to mean "a disease of its own kind". It's a very fancy way of saying "We have no idea what is causing this ... are you certain there's not a nail in there somewhere?"
I'm Scared. How Scared Should I Be?
There's actually little to be scared of here, assuming you're a carny accustomed to goring your face with nails. The rest of you may feel free to shit yourself now.
Real nails through the eyes are usually reserved to the domain of B-movie action scenes, which means you're probably ill-prepared to deal with this pain. In a way, having an actual nail in your eye would be preferable, since even correspondence-schooled opthamologists will be able to diagnose and treat it. You might be able to suppress it with corticosteroids, but half of the patients have recurrences in a year regardless.
Man, How Much Does Your Body Hate You?
= As much as chihuahuas hate essentially anything.
#1. Huge, Monstrous Jaw Syndrome (Mandibular Ameloblastoma)
That Sounds Fancy. What is it?
A strong jawline is often equated to manliness. There's just something so stout and indomitable about it that anchors ruggedness to the face. Really, the bigger the jaw the better. Hell, if you look like a blowfish that just had it's wisdom teeth removed, all the manlier.
We can only hope that belief is part of your cultural ideology before mandibular ameloblastoma sets in or you may find your quality of life reduced by the fleshy Suburban that just parked on your face.
Comparing them with Jay Leno is futile. Someone with mandiubular ameloblastoma looks like they've tucked Jay Leno into their cheek for wintertime storage. These bulbous cysts not only extend several inches from the face, but often deform and expel teeth from the jaw in the process. It acts as a tumor, but the root causes are speculated at everything from jawline infection to autoimmune issues. The only thing leading medical journals can agree on is that is it best classified as "fucking horrifying."
I'm Scared. How Scared Should I Be?
Mandibular ameloblastoma doesn't wish to kill you. In fact, it wouldn't even entertain the notion as that would perceived as merciful. It just wants to bleed your will to live, real slow.
It is unresponsive to traditional modes of chemotherapy and radiation. You can try and excise it, but if any is left behind, it will all too likely grow back. You can't reason with it. It doesn't feel pain or emotion. And it absolutely will not stop until it has forced you to excise your entire jaw.
Man, How Much Does Your Body Hate You?
= As much as Blu-Ray hated HD-DVD. Via con Dios, HD-DVD.

CNN cited the American Immigration Council's recent report ...
The Truth about Costly Verification Systems, Unauthorized Immigrants and Health Care
As health care bills make their way through Congress, lawmakers are debating whether or not to include overly burdensome citizenship verification requirements to ensure that unauthorized immigrants do not have access to health insurance. However, past attempts to implement these kinds of additional measures have prevented U.S. citizens and legal immigrants from receiving health care, while uncovering very few instances of unauthorized immigrants trying to abuse the system. In fact, research shows that unauthorized immigrants do not come to the United States for health care benefits or any other public services for which they are not eligible. These additional measures threaten to ensnare far more citizens than unauthorized immigrants and add unnecessary costs to health care reform.
Past efforts to use verification to weed out illegal immigrants have proven expensive and ineffective.
- The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 required everyone to present proof of citizenship when applying for or renewing Medicaid coverage. This was enacted despite the fact that there was no evidence that unauthorized immigrants were accessing Medicaid.
- The GAO found that the verification requirements "cost significantly more to implement than they have saved in expenditures by excluding unauthorized immigrants from Medicaid coverage. For every $100 spent by federal taxpayers to implement the new requirements in six states, only 14 cents in Medicaid savings can be documented."
- In the six states surveyed, costs to taxpayers to implement the verification procedures totaled $16.6 million—which only yielded eight unauthorized immigrants.
- The GAO also found that the verification requirements resulted in U.S. citizens being delayed or denied Medicaid because they could not provide the necessary documentation.
Unauthorized immigrants do not come to the U.S. for health care.
- Surveys have repeatedly found that unauthorized immigrants overwhelmingly come to the U.S. to work, not to receive services.
Unauthorized immigrants do not game the system and receive health care for which they are not eligible.
- Unauthorized immigrants are not eligible for most publicly funded programs, including federal health care (Medicaid and Medicare).
- According to the California Immigrant Policy Center, unauthorized immigrants are reluctant to access programs for which they are eligible because they fear that their lack of immigration status will be reported to authorities. Others to not use health services because of language barriers, because they are confused over eligibility rules, or because they fear losing a day's wages.
- Contrary to the myth that free clinics that serve unauthorized populations are overrun with immigrants seeking free care, interviews with clinic staff found that clinics have not been overwhelmed. One doctor said, "my concern is that needy people are not coming in."
Noncitizens are significantly less likely to use emergency room services than U.S. citizens.
- Unauthorized immigrants are eligible for emergency care. Many assume that, because they are eligible, they use a large amount of costly emergency services. However, research shows that this is false.
- According to the Kaiser Commission, even though noncitizens have poorer access to care and receive less primary care than citizens, they are less likely than citizens to use the emergency room. In 2006, 20% of U.S. citizen adults and 22% of U.S. citizen children had visited the emergency room within the past year. In contrast, 13% of noncitizen adults and 12% of noncitizen children had utilized emergency room care.
- A 2006 study published in Health Affairs journal found that communities with high rates of emergency room usage tend to have relatively small noncitizen populations. Cities with large immigrant populations such as Miami-Dade County, Florida and Phoenix, Arizona have much lower rates of emergency room use than areas with small immigrant populations such as Cleveland.
Ensuring that immigrants have the same access to essential services will improve public health and the well-being of all people living in the U.S., not just immigrants.
- The Center for Science in the Public Interest concluded that prevention can save on health care costs, stating that comprehensive prevention programs are the most economical way to maximize health and minimize costs.
- It is important that all people receive basic health care because immigrants are in our neighborhoods, our schools, and our churches. It is in the interest of public health that everyone receives basic immunizations and other basic care.

I have more than 100 labels in my Gmail account. They are currently displayed as a long list on the left side of the screen, and it's becoming quite difficult to use. Is there a way I can group certain labels? For example, I'm subscribed to a number programming mailing lists and want to group those labels as "Mailing lists" and collapse them, like folders in a file-system.
I use the Nested Label ability in Gmail Labs. It works very well for maintaining a hierarchical system of labels.
Sorry, probably not the answer you were looking for, but here are the rules that work well for me:
One thing I do to "group" some labels together without using nested labels is to prepend them with the same punctuation character.
Then I can get my most important labels bubbled to the top and mostly ignore alphabetization.
After many years of managing multiple projects from the office and the field and trying the many many folder/label method, I follow this system:
Then you put anything that requires action or is awaiting action in the Priority folders/labels. Then you never forget things and can set goals like: Complete/answer all Pri 1 before the day ends, etc. When new mail comes in, send it to the priority it warrants and stay on task. Magic.
Reference is for any e-mail you find yourself pulling up often for info repeatedly. Guiding direction from the boss, list of dates for something or a collection of hyperlinks to important stuff.
Also, if a message comes in with a junk subject, change it when you reply to something relevant (i.e. "Pictures!!" to "Christmas 2010 Pictures") and search will treat you well.
When managing your info cuts too deeply into actually doing something.... what's the point?
You can apply more than one label to any message, come up with label groupings and sub-groupings that make sense to you to make sorting easier. That's the best you can do since there's no concept of nesting for gmail labels
Correction: nested labels are supported as a 'labs' feature
Among the solutions which GMail offers are:
Regarding mailing lists: if you haven't already done so, it might be worth checking if any of them are available as RSS feeds instead of e-mails. If so, you can shift some of the burden to Google Reader.
And if none of the above are sufficient, then I have to agree with joyjit's answer: if the problem is that you have too many labels, then you need to reduce the number of labels! :-)

An early morning accident on I65 just north of exit 48 at Park City left Kenneth Bohannon, 51of Hazlehurst, GA injured, and parts of both the north and south bound lanes covered in debris.
Around 5:30a.m. Monday, a tractor trailer driven by Bohannon, and carrying lumber wrecked in the north bound lanes, spilling pieces of lumber across the median and into the south bound lanes.
Two south bound lanes and one north bound lane were closed while crews worked to clean up debris and lumber.
Kentucky State Police say Mr. Bohannon attempted an evasive maneuver to avoid striking the sign and lost control of his truck causing him to strike the concrete barrier wall. He was transported to T.J. Samson Hospital for non-life threatening injuries.
All lanes are now open.

not to be confused with a cold brew coffee maker.
Friends, cold-brewed coffee, when done right, tastes awesome. Strong without being bitter, rich and full and caramel-y and with no aftertaste whatsoever. It's like what you always imagine coffee is going to taste like with none of the disappointment.
The only real con when it comes to cold-brewing is that it does have to be done in advance. The grinds have to sit for at least 12 hours before pressing (we wait a full 24 hours because that works with our schedule—we usually only have coffee at home in the mornings), so it's not like you can whip up a pitcher of coffee on a whim. Granted, you do wind up with several days' worth of coffee at the end of the process, but it's something to keep in mind.
65% less acid than conventional hot brewing
zero electricity and under 10 bucks
cause if power goes out you can still make coffee :)
@fit410s: Cold brew concentrate is also the best way to make iced coffee, which I enjoy all summer. However, being thrifty (aka cheap) I make mine with things already in my cupboard. I start with 1/2 cup of grounds and enough cold water to fill my 3-cup french press. That gets covered and goes in the fridge overnight (or up to a few days if I get distracted). I use the press to remove most of the grounds, and then, for extra clarity, pour it into a glass carafe through a gold mesh Melitta filter (I don't like the taste imparted by paper filters). The coffee concentrate keeps well in the fridge for a week, and poured over ice makes iced coffee that really hits the spot on sweltering days. I keep thinking I should try using the concentrate to make regular hot coffee, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
Summary of reviews:
Attractive & sleek stainless steel design
Simple to use & dishwasher safe parts
Removable tea bag basket for easy cleaning and mold prevention
Unlike plastic glass pitcher doesn't stain
Strainer basket eliminates the need for filters (loose tea brewing)
Glass pitcher is thin & more fragile than plastic pitchers

Cold brewing aside, to make good iced coffee, just make a stronger batch of coffee from your old coffee maker. Let it cool/refrigerate.
When cold, pour over ice and add milk/cream/sugar/whatever.
It's not rocket science... we've been making and drinking iced coffee here in the northeast forever and ever... ( still remember going to florida in the early 90's and I tried to order iced coffee and they looked at me like I had 88 eyeballs and 3 heads)
@finzup: and you would think in FL people would understand anything iced
I have this, although I am on the third one. The first two were replaced under the warranty, with no hassle. The heating element has to be completely cool between batches. If you try to make a second batch, the heating element burns out when the cool/cold tap water hits it.
The pitcher is not as frail as it looks. Don't know how many times I have knocked it against the sink and it doesn't have a crack or chip.
It does make tea rapidly, looks nice on the counter, doesn't require a bunch of cleaning, and I do like it. That is, I like it now that I know it needs at least 4-5 minutes between batches of beverage.
@sand4me: thanks , you sure learned the hard way. hopefully you made a review on amazon to help others out with this, as I can certainly see how one would try and make 2 batches back to back.
sorry for your loss
@finzup: I used to make iced coffee with refrigerated regular coffee, but the flavor is nowhere near as good as with cold brew. Of course, I drink it black with no dairy or sweetener, so the off-notes of chilled hot brew are much more obvious.
Check out the reviews on Amazon. Definitely steered me away.

Currently, my internal storage is running low on space.
What can I do besides moving applications to the external memory, as to free up more space, but preserve my current applications and avoid uninstalling?
(Some of them won't be moved)
The only way to do this is linking apps to SD card.
First : Rooting.
Disclaimer : I'm NOT responsible to any damage you do to your phone ,Although it is very rare for someone to damage his phone while rooting (or a myth), and Rooting might void your warranty , some warranty policies void if rooted and some other void when unlocking bootloader (i.e installing custom mod) ,I did both actually.
Second : Partitioning SD card.
Linking apps to SD card requires a second partition on SD card.
Third : Activating Link2SD or S2E.
You can use one of these apps to link apps to SD card(I prefer Link2SD) :
If you use link2sd you must choose the type of your ext partition at the first open of the app ,then restart ,if you restart and the app tells you the same message see BONUS section of my answer.
Fourth : Linking apps to SD card.
This is using Link2SD (I didn't experience with S2E) :
After activating Second Partition of your SD card you should now link apps to SD card.
NOTE : an app must be on internal memory before it can be linked , if you try to link an app while it's on SD card it will be moved to internal then linked ,so make sure there is enough space to move it.
when you long press on an app ,a context menu appears ,press
Bonus : Manually mounting second partition :
first you must install this app to mount it:
then open the terminal emulator(and make sure you give it root access),and type the following (each line standalone):
now open link2SD and

Many people have that kind of problem and I have the same one. I finally figured out and it works great. I have a Galaxy Tab 7 but many android devices will experience that. There are 2 important folders. The one called /data is actually not really just data but it is where Android install the application apk and some of the data related to it. If you force the apk to install on SD card, it will still use some of the /data space (small amount) for some data. Be aware that there is a confusing "sdcard" name usage. Most Android devices have a "sdcard" that is an internal flash configured like an SD card but the real external SD card is often name external_sd or something along those line.
the problem I discovered is in /data/tombstone, you will find 10 files named tombstone_0#. These are debugging info collected by android. These files build up over time. You don't need that for a normal user. Delete all of them. These 4 files were using 1.4GB of my 1.89GB internal tablet storage.
To do so, you will need to root your device. Yes, you must. And it won't explode don't worry, I've done it and many others too! Then get a program like "Root Explorer" to browse and delete the junk. It will request and be granted root privilege if you rooted your device before and you will be able to do whatever you want.
To root your device, just google "root android my device model" and you should find quickly how to root your device.
This problem is a design flaw. When there is a low internal storage, Android should start a background task to clean up that junk. (haven't seen such idiot unfriendly behavior on IOS devices yet, except may be the new maps ;-) )

This week we'll be looking at Nant – one of the most critically acclaimed distilleries on Tasmania, with high profile fans including legendary whisky commentator Jim Murray.
It began in 2004, when Brisbane-based property developer Keith Batt purchased the Nant Estate, just an hour from Hobart. This ancient estate was built in around 1821, and since the 2004 purchase, it has been lovingly and carefully restored with an investment of some $5 million. The result is arrestingly beautiful; a stunning estate surrounded by breathtakingly scenic countryside.

Since I began granting one Christmas wish per day, there's been one product in particular that's been rather popular on your wishlists. Some chap in a panama hat with fluorescent eyes said it was rather good or something. Not much call for panama hats at the North Pole, you know. Still, if there's one thing I've learned travelling all around the globe every year it's that it takes all sorts!

Prepare your faces for glee and/or delight, for we bring glad tidings all the way from Caithness (the north-eastern tip of the Scottish mainland – presumably very wet and cold). We've had word from the Old Pulteney distillery that today (well, 11pm last night, to be precise, but today for most of us) we can, at last, announce the launch of the oldest official single malt the distillery has ever produced…
Earlier in the year, Pulteney 21 year old was named World Whisky of the Year in Jim Murray's 2012 Whisky Bible. It's a pretty astonishing single malt, all things considered, but what else would you expect from the northernmost distillery on the Scottish mainland. That far north, the weather and the terroir play a huge part in the flavour of maturing spirit; a windswept seafront seasons the whisky and gives it real provenance. There's also the effect of the unusually shaped spirit still, the U-shape and bulbous neck of which account for a particularly oily spirit. Dave Broom calls Old Pulteney "eccentric", and I think we're inclined to agree...

So, a couple of Tuesdays ago, I had possibly one of the most random evenings of my life. And I'm not talking about the end of the evening, where Myself, Joel Harrison (one half of caskstrength.net), Dr. Whisky, and Pierre from off of that there Connosr ended up in a basement Sherry bar late in the evening arguing the finer points of the various Port Ellen releases over Manzanilla and nibbles. No. I'm talking about the launch of Aldi's 40 year old whisky.

So – it's that time of year again. Jim Murray waves his magic wand, and retailers and brand owners alike scrabble around frantically trying to fulfil orders of what, last week, was a very good, if slow-selling line (before you ask, the 90 bottles I managed to prise out of the distributor's hands disappeared within an hour and a half. I'll let you know when there's more stock available).
For those of you who are interested, you can read all about my trip up to The Old Pulteney distillery here and Mike's tasting notes of the full range (including an exclusive taste of the soon-to-be-released 40yo) here.
Now; I'm going to leave all the usual punditry around whether or not it deserves this title to others (and I'm sure there'll be no shortage of discussion as ever). It's a very good whisky, for sure, but what I really wanted to talk about was this screenshot: More...

Old whiskies have always commanded respect from the drinking public. It is widely thought that the older the whisky, the better. Distilleries have always pushed for this, because they can demand higher prices, and the increased rarity of old whisky has helped cement their éclat. At Master of Malt, we think whiskies have a life span; some require a lot of ageing to reach their peak, and others need only a few years. There are some very young whiskies which have reached their full potential very early in life; Ardbeg 10 is an awe-inspiring single malt and we've only got good things to say about the 3 year old English Whisky Chapter 6!
It is undeniable, however, that there is something very special about extensively aged malt. We've been lucky enough to taste some great 40 year old whisky recently.
A single cask 40 year old Glenfarclas had this impression on us:

So then – Jim Murray's 2010 World Whisky of the Year – the Sazerac Rye (fall 2008 edition) has been replaced by the all-new new fall 2009 edition, and it's an absolute belter.
As far as we know, at the time of writing this post, we're the only retailer in the UK to be offering this for sale – and there are only limited quantities available.
The delivery arrived at 09:30, and before the pallet was even off the lorry, a bottle had been snaffled, opened, and was in the process of being tasted. Here are the results:
Sazerac Rye 18 Year Old Fall 2009 Edition 45%
Nose: Huge and powerful sweet rye on the initial nosing gives way to cinnamon toasted brioche, leather, and more than a hint of maraschino cherry. A really huge hit of oak follows, somewhat vinous with it - we were reminded of a barrique aged chardonnay. There's something slightly medicinal lurking somewhere - a hint of iodine perhaps? It's definitely not out of place amongst the other huge aromas given off by this whiskey though. A slight suggestion of coconut right at the tail end.

The internet then - blogs and twittering, My-face, spacebook and so on... It seems to be the future doesn't it? We decided we'd better get on-board, so I thought I'd use this inaugural post to tell you a bit about what makes us tick.
To start, a bit about the team ethos - we're all passionate about Whisky here, Scotch, Japanese, bourbon, rye, Irish, European, we love it all - you'll find no xenophobia here, just a healthy dose of whiskyphilia.
We're on a mission to search out the most interesting, exciting, innovative and surprising drams from around the world, whilst maintaining a healthy respect for the traditional crowd-pleasing whiskies we first enjoyed so many years ago, and that have set us all on the path to spiritous Nirvana.

1967 Mercury Comet - '67 Comet Stock Replica Engine RebuildWritten by on August 16, 2007 We rebuilt the engine and added the little stuff to finish our 1967 Comet
If you've been drooling over the '67 Mercury we've been transforming into a Stock Car replica over the last few issues and want to see the completed car that will be given away, here it is. In this final installment of the Timber Wolf Comet project car story, we yanked the FE 390 for a look-see at what made it spew oil, while we hung out with Russ Stevenson at Gold Coast Customs for the addition of subtle Stock Car cues to go along with the retro graphics applied last month. It makes us weep a little to know this neat stick-shifted big-block cruiser won't be in our garage for much longer, but who knows, it might soon be in yours.
Originally built at the Lorain, Ohio, plant and shipped to the New York sales district as a white-with-blue-interior stripper with the base 200-cube six-popper (T-code) and C4 slush box (W-code), it is one of 14,251 Comet 202 two-door sedans built in 1967.
Surprisingly for the luxury-oriented Mercury brand, production records show that the 202's stubby, pillared body with angular lines was the highest-selling Comet model of 1967, outpacing all other two- and four-door and wagon Comet body styles. By contrast, the next closest two-door, the pillarless Comet Capri, shifted 11,671 units in 1967 while the sexpot Comet Cyclone hardtop accounted for only 6,101 sales. This is one instance where the cheapo body outpaced all others in the model line.
But thanks to the owner before us, a guy in New Mexico with Ford Blue blood coursing through his veins, the granny-spec drivetrain was axed in favor of a Cyclone-inspired 390, four-speed, 9-inch setup that elevates the car into the fun zone quite nicely. On the other side of the coin, while the 390 ran strong enough during Car Craft's post-purchase jaunt from New Mexico to L.A., it had some issues we needed to take care of before we could send it along to a lucky winner. Let's dig in and give it the treatment.

Back in the early '80s Lincoln Mercury ran radio, television, and print ads exclaiming, "The cat's full of surprises." When it came to the Comet's 390, we were in for some big ones. Here, Gold Coast's crew preps the engine for a trip to JMS Racing in El Monte, California.The driver-side exhaust manifold is a nice 390 GT item, much more efficient than the log-style castings used on garden-variety 390 mills. These eight-bolt castings are virtually identical to 428 Cobra Jet parts.Likewise, the passenger-side manifold is also a high-flow 390 GT/428 CJ casting--nice. Note that the heads are of the common 14-bolt variety with four bolts on the outermost ports, three bolts on the inner pair. The upper row of exhaust manifold bolt holes are not used with the GT castings, but there's plenty of clamping force to prevent leaks.With their 2.02/1.55 valves, the Comet's 390 GT head castings (74cc chambers) share valve and port dimensions with early 427 high-performance heads. Sure, later 427 Medium- and High-Riser heads are better for all-out performance, but for our mild street/strip cruiser, these castings are just fine.Continuing the theme of reusing most of the parts we had, we retained the Edelbrock Streetmaster cast-aluminum intake manifold and Edelbrock 1406 600-cfm carburetor. The pen points to the internal plenum dams that maintain flow velocity for maximum fuel atomization and low-end torque output.OK, now here come the nasty surprises! This is what we found lurking at the No. 3 intake valve. The protruding lock was only semi-installed before the builder moved on to the next valvespring installation. This thing was getting ready to drop a valve. And to think Glad and McGann drove this car all the way from New Mexico to L.A. without any trouble.But wait, there's more. This is what's left of the No. 8 piston's ring land. Yes, that large chunk of loose material (and others) was riding up and down along with the piston. Amazingly, the bore wasn't shredded despite the fact that the damaged piston land was polished smooth from all the loose bits moving around. This is the result of major detonation and is the root cause of the severe oily blow-by that coated the entire underside of the Comet.With all the bad news behind us, Sal Alcaraz manned the JMS Rottler boring bar to enlarge the 390's bores from 0.040 to 0.060 inch oversize. The final bore diameter is 4.11 inches. Couple that with the stock 3.78-inch stroke and you've got a 401-cube FE motor.
On the JMS dyno, the Comet's freshened FE cranked out 309 hp at 4,600 rpm and 385 lb-ft of torque all the way down at 3,000 rpm. This may not be a high-revving screamer, but it's still making 336 lb-ft at 4,800 rpm and that means lots of burning rubber. Dig the groovy cast-aluminum finned Holman Moody pentroof valve covers. Unfortunately they didn't clear the Comet's master cylinder, so we had to go back to steel stampings. We also chucked the points and stabbed in an MSD distributor so the thing would run for more than five minutes.Moving on to the Comet's exterior, Russ Stevenson and the Gold Coast Customs crew whipped up a driver-side rearview mirror-delete plate from 18-inch aluminum. It was finessed with 320-grit sandpaper to give a cool brushed appearance.Hood pins are a Stock Car mainstay, so the fiberglass Cyclone hood was carefully drilled for pins and circular lanyard shields. A layer of masking tape prevented damage to the surrounding paint finish and kept the fiberglass from chunking during drilling. Stevenson says to use a UniBit (left) and work up to the final hole diameter in small steps for best results.Hood pin anchors were fabricated from 2x2-inch square tubing with flat plates welded on the back. These are screwed to the leading edge of the radiator support and poke through the hood skin.More roundy-round-inspired, less-is-more flavor was added by replacing the high-beam headlamp bulbs with block-off plates trimmed from 16-gauge sheet steel. Ordinarily the top row of the Comet's stacked headlamps are the low-beam running lights. By swapping bulbs and running the upper electrical feed wires to the lower holes, the bottom lamps became the running lamps. Who needs high-beams anyway?The Comet's fendertop antenna mast and base are no-go in circle-track land. To fill the void, more 18-inch aluminum sheet was used to create a block-off plate that fits atop a stock plastic antenna base coated with tough silver urethane paint. The works clamps to the fender with a screw-on bracket.Because race cars don't have side glass, there's a tremendous pressure buildup inside the cockpit at race speed. To keep the backlight from blowing out and smashing all over the track, racers apply retainer straps. Stevenson fabricated a set from 18-inch aluminum strips that are secured to the body by trick threadserts.
Much cleaner and faster than installing a welded nut, the threadserts are tightly locked in place and resist twisting to well over 20 lb-ft. How many uses can you think of just by looking at this picture?The backlight retainer straps were fastened in place using stainless 14-20 Phillips head screws for extra NASCAR vibes in about an hour.A similar strategy was applied to the windshield except that the retainers were small brushed-aluminum tabs instead of vision-obscuring full-length straps. The threadsert retention method is the same. Darlington, here we come.Stockton Wheel 15x7 steelies with 378-inch backspacing accept repop Firestone F60-15 Wide Oval skins all the way around. The tasteful burgundy wheels harmonize with the similar hues of the interior and number graphics to pull the visual package together with class.Kenz Muffler in Oxnard, California, whipped up this NASCAR-inspired side-exit exhaust setup with a pair of glasspack mufflers. The H-pipe milks even more torque from the burly 390.Gold Coast fabricated and installed the bolt-in four-point rollbar so that it can be removed temporarily if rear-seat passengers are along for the ride.Cross-bracing was added inside the trunk to stiffen the chassis and accept the rollbar downstruts. Trick interlocking collars allow the rollbar tubes to be removed.A five-point driver-safety harness adds secure vibes to the clean bench-seat interior. The original AM radio has been eliminated and a delete plate added to hide the holes.

Facing the Teewinot slopes of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, these beautiful homes in Teton Village offer stunning views, tremendous access, and beautiful amenities. Design elements include hardwood floors throughout, oversized en-suite bathrooms in all bedrooms, fireplaces, gourmet kitchens, multiple balconies, washer/dryer and garage. Step out the door for world-class skiing or walk or drive down the road to Teton Village where guests can enjoy fine dining, spa services, boutique shopping and live entertainment. If you want to venture further, the town of Jackson is a short 12-mile drive and Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks are not far away. The Granite Ridge Lodges provide a great venue for family gatherings or extended winter and holiday vacations.Granite Ridge Lodge 16 channels the natural splendor that surrounds it. In the foyer, a console table lined in Aspen bark sets the tone for the valley-inspired aesthetic applied throughout the lodge. In the bedrooms, Western antiques celebrate the cultural heritage of Jackson Hole.
The lodge unfolds over three floors, starting with the main level and its great room. Ringed by picture windows, the great room envelopes guests in mountain views, and encourages them to relax with its big screen TV and DVD player, stone fireplace and plush couches. The gracious layout encompasses the living and dining areas, as well as the open kitchen. A farmhouse dining table comfortably seats eight. An adjoining patio beckons with its gas grill and teak furniture. Wood-paneled appliances and tawny granite countertops make the gourmet kitchen a sight to behold.

The Supreme Economic Council (SEC) met yesterday to discuss the global financial crisis and its potential impact on the Saudi economy. The meeting was chaired by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz.
In a statement after the meeting, Acting Secretary-General Dr. Abdulrahman Al-Tuwaijri said that the SEC expects the global financial crisis to have a limited impact on the Saudi economy.
The SEC approved several measures aimed at mitigating the impact of the crisis on the Kingdom's economy, Al-Tuwaijri said.
It directed the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (SAMA) to continuously monitor Saudi banks, guarantee their well-being by providing liquidity when needed. The Kingdom's central bank will guarantee bank deposits.
The SEC also decided that SAMA would reduce the reserve requirements if Saudi banks faced liquidity problems and cut down the cost of financing.
Finally, Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) finance ministers and central bank governors were invited to coordinate their actions with the Kingdom's efforts.

The Complex plane, set of all $z=x+iy$ where $x$ and $y$ are real, surface area equals cross product of $x$ and $y$ equals aleph-something (that's not the question). Projecting the plane onto a sphere, and adding the complex infinity to the set (without a value for $\arg(z)$), gives the Riemann sphere, which, being a sphere, is compact.
Does the addition of infinity, as some sort of bounder, make the complex plane compact? is the Riemann sphere without infinity compact, since it has an open boundary? also, if the hyperbolic plane can be shown in a disk, what does that mean? The answer to this question might primarily clarify the definitions in my new studies of topology of manifolds, etc. thanks.

After learning that Kentucky led the nation in the number of meth labs seized last year, glory-hungry (and hopefully flame-retardant) Missourians rigged up more labs than ever to make sure their state reclaimed the title of "America's meth capital."
State law enforcement officials predict that Missouri will close out 2011 with 2,100 lab seizures. Good work, everyone.

@lumpthar: It was hard not to buy 5 at this price. I wonder if Microsoft raised the price to $60 just to increase demand for it at ~$40. Perceived savings FTW!

Roxane Cassehgari
Gaining Perspective
While serving as an intern at the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Bogotá, Colombia, Roxane Cassehgari '13 LL.M. received a life-changing opportunity. As the only French-speaking person working for IOM—a nonprofit organization that provides support to internally displaced populations—the Paris-born Cassehgari was called to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, to assist in recovery efforts after the 7.0-magnitude earthquake of January 2010. Cassehgari worked with women who had experienced violence while receiving aid in various relief camps and helped to educate victims on their rights.
After spending more than a year in Haiti, she moved to New York City to pursue an LL.M. "I wanted to get an American perspective on human rights," says Cassehgari, who previously studied law in the U.K. and France. "New York and Columbia Law School gave me a big window on international organizations, the U.N., and NGOs."
At the Law School, Cassehgari studied the legal issues that dictate the rights of individuals forced to flee their homes due to civil war, natural disasters, and other factors. Now that she has supplemented her fieldwork with newly broadened legal expertise, Cassehgari says she will be better equipped to advocate on behalf of vulnerable groups.
"Having that added legal background gives you the tools to best address these issues," she says.

I would like to apply an element chasing style proof to the following problem:
Let $P$, $Q$ and $R$ be elements of a Boolean algebra. Prove that if $$ \tag 1 P + Q = P + R$$ and $$\tag 2 P \cdot Q = P \cdot R $$ then $$\tag 3 Q = R$$
Given (1) above we know the $F(P,Q) = P + Q$ and $F(P,R) = P + R$ are both boolean functions of degree 2. Let $B = \{1,0\}$, which is the set of all Boolean variables. Then if we let $P \in B$ be arbitrary, we know that (1) may hold where $Q \in B $ is arbitrary and where $R \in B$ is arbitrary. That is (1) holds where $Q$ and $R$ are the same elements of the set $B$ and where they are different elements of $B$.
However, given that we are told (2) above holds and if we let $P \in B$ be arbitrary, we know that by the Identity ($P\cdot 1=P$) and Domination laws ($P\cdot 0 = 0$) that (2) can only hold where $Q$ and $R$ are the same $\in$ in $B$ and not when they are different elements of the set $B$.
$\therefore$ (3) must hold which states $Q = R$
Please could I get some feedback on this proof. Is it okay to apply an element chasing style to a problem like this or are other ways preferred? Could someone comment on whether the proof above goes far enough to conclusively prove that Q = R given (1) and (2)? thanks

vbox layout for a nested tabpanel fails to render grid
Tested in Chrome v.24
Consider the following layouts
ViewPort (Border Layout) -> TabPanel(no defined Layout) -> TabPanel(VBox Layout)
If I place a GridPanel in the last TabPanel the rendering fails, while it works for a simple panel.
I've made a JSFiddle with the latest 4.2 RC Libraries which will show this behavior, just click on the failing tab . (The debug version prints Layout run failed to the console)
Do I miss something or is this a Bug?

The problem is that the grid can't acquire a width appropriately because it needs to measure the width of the grid, but the docked items are wider than the body. There are several ways to handle it:
shrinkWrapDock: true, xtype: 'grid', flex: 1
layout: { type: 'vbox', align: 'stretch' }, items: { xtype: 'grid', flex: 1 }
layout: { type: 'hbox', align: 'stretch' }, items: { xtype: 'grid', flex: 1 }
layout: 'fit', items: { xtype: 'grid' }Evan Trimboli

Looking for resources to find names for a campaign, preferably sorted by language/culture. I like BehindTheName, but am wondering if there are other favorites that people always use.

This question exists because it has historical significance, but it is not considered a good, on-topic question for this site, so please do not use it as evidence that you can ask similar questions here. This question and its answers are frozen and cannot be changed. More info: help center.
The Onamastikon is superb. Tons of real world historical name lists.
If you can live with names that simply have the "feel" of a particular culture (same morphemes, etc.), there are good ones at:
Chris Pound's Name Generation Page http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~pound/
squid.org Random Name Generator http://www.squid.org/rpg-random-generator
If you want names that are actually used in real world cultures, your best bet may be one of the infinitude of "baby name" websites.
BehindTheName.com is an excellent resource for most Western names, and features a great random name generator.
The Story Games Names Project† contains more than 100 lists for different cultures and genres, each one containing at least 20 male, 20 female, and 20 surnames. Many of the lists contain more than that.
The project resulted in a published book as well as the online index of names in PDF and text formats, released under a Creative Commons license. The book is a great offline reference at the table, but the online version is a useful reference accessible from anywhere there's a browser.
†The book/project is confusingly named. It's not a project of names just for story-games, but rather a names project that was organised on story-games.com.
I've long been a fan of the Random Name Generators at Rinkworks. There's your basic stuff, plus some more esoteric types of name generation (like the Fake Pokemon Names) and even an advance name generator so you can set up custom random name creation. Pretty sweet.
SCA name research sites are a BIG source...
Laurel Sovereign At Arms (http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/names.html)handles all SCA name registry for the Society for Creative Anachronism, and the sites linked to are all fairly well documented, most to historical publication standards.
Don't bother asking for help here, tho'. The resources and time are dedicated to SCA heraldry, and it's a lot of work for the senior heralds, and those senior heralds are busy.
Acadamy of St. Gabriel (http://www.s-gabriel.org/) is pretty much the first source I turn to as an SCA herald; anything they use is documented to SCA standards or better, so I seldom have to go much afield from there.
A word of warning, tho'... contacting them for help with character names is bad form, but using their online resources isn't. They're focused on the SCA and other similar groups, like Acre or Corinthia.
Both, however, are excellent also for researching realistic heraldry.
Both also have links to a number of other sources.

This may seem obvious but since I am a newbie I want to make sure.
I just upgraded from the NN3 MKII. I was using the N10 36 degree ring.
The NN5 does not have that ring but it has a N20 18degree ring.
Will I get the same results if I use this ring and move the camera two clicks for each exposure?
WOW it sounds even more obvious after I see it written out. Maybe there wrong when they say there are no dumb questions.
