The 7 Most Ridiculous Movie Character Overreactions
Blockbuster movies need action. We don't tend to spend $200 million worth of tickets on a film full of subtly delivered wry wit. We need characters to do outrageous stunts, to make drastic decisions and to scream things while flying slowly through the air.
As a result, people in movies often wind up making grossly illogical and often utterly insane choices purely to spice things up. These are the characters who probably should have taken a moment to think things over:
#7. Johnny Utah, Point Break
Point Break is about some bank robbing surfers led by Patrick Swayze and the crime-fighting team of Keanu Reeves and Gary Busey trying to bring them down.
The word "team" has many definitions.
The Overreaction:
The moment we said Point Break we're guessing you pictured one scene in your mind, and one scene only: the one where Patrick Swayze jumps out of an airplane with a parachute and Keanu Reeves, in the ultimate act of reckless badassery, jumps out after him with a gun. And no parachute. He hurls himself toward the ground and catches Swayze in midair, and the two have a shouting standoff as they reach terminal velocity.
To understand how bizarre and pointless this decision was, you have to rewind a bit. Keanu's character, FBI agent Johnny Utah, catches up with Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) at the airport, who's loading equipment and cash into a plane. A shootout occurs, and Bodhi takes Utah hostage and drags one of his friends along with him, despite the fact that the guy's been shot and is clearly dying. It winds up not even mattering, because Swayze kicks him out of the plane a few minutes later anyway.
"Curse you, Swayzeeeeeeee!"
Swayze jumps out after him, leaving Keanu by himself in the plane. Of course, Keanu has no choice but to jump out because the plane is going to crash-
-Oh, wait, no. That's not right. The plane and the pilot are perfectly fine. And get this -- we're pretty sure there were more parachutes on board if Keanu wanted one.
Yeah, that's the plan. Grab the gun and leave the chute.
Swayze's plan was for his entire gang to parachute out of the plane, and there were four members of the gang before the others were killed in the airport shootout. He put one chute on the wounded guy and took another for himself, leaving at the very least two more parachutes in the airplane that Keanu doesn't bother trying to locate before flinging himself out to what was almost certain death.
Roach, we hardly knew you.
Or, better yet, Keanu could've used his super policeman powers to force the pilot to land the damn plane -- after contacting local law enforcement below to be on the lookout for a couple of parachuting jackasses hovering around in the general vicinity.
Either option would've been way more reasonable than launching headfirst into the sky like Steven Segal in Executive Decision.
#6. Multiple Adults in the Karate Kid Series
If you aren't familiar with the original Karate Kid franchise, we'll take a moment of silence to mourn the childhood you never had.
The Karate Kid movies detail the coming-of-age underdog story of Daniel LaRusso. He finds meaning in life via the martial art of karate, taught to him by his apartment's handyman, Mr. Miyagi.
All our handyman ever did was sneak us vodka and scream about the kaiser.
The Overreaction:
In the first film, the bad guy is the evil karate dojo Cobra Kai, led by the star pupil (the Aryan Johnny Lawrence) and the owner of the dojo, John Kreese. Lawrence and the Cobra Kai gang harass and bully Daniel until they agree to settle their differences at a karate tournament.
That's how we settled every dispute back in the 80s.
Now, clearly the bullying and harassment is a bad thing, but that's entirely within the realm of what high school kids do. Granted, early in the film they seem intent on beating Daniel into a coma before Miyagi intervenes, but they're bullies, and they're young, and that kind of thing happens.
The baffling part is when Kreese, the adult owner of the dojo, decides to intervene. When Miyagi goes to him to ask that his students lay off Daniel (since he's the one adult in their lives who could assert that kind of influence), he laughs it off and says that if Daniel and Miyagi don't show up at the tournament, his gang is going to beat the shit out of both of them.
What kind of waiver did those parents sign, anyway?
So ... imagine you're a grown-up, probably with kids, and a war veteran (as is mentioned in the movie). You have saved up or borrowed to open a karate training center to teach children and teenagers the martial arts. Do you really put all of that on the line to take your students' side in their high school dispute with a 16-year-old kid? When teenagers fight, they get detention or a warning from the cops. When middle-aged men join the fray, things start to get weird.
You can see this demonstrated at the opening of Karate Kid II when, after losing the tournament, a crazed John Kreese freaking goes after them in the parking lot.
It doesn't go well.
He's not an isolated case, either; as the sequel continues, we find that, in fact, most adults in the Karate Kid universe are suffering from crippling impulse-control problems. We learn that Miyagi fled his home village decades earlier because his best friend, Sato, challenged him to a fight to the death. In a more normal world, all would be forgotten after a decades-long cooling off period. But this isn't a normal word. This is the 80s. When Miyagi returns, Sato -- now a wealthy businessman -- drops everything he's doing to resume the karate feud.
This franchise spawned a huge fad of parents enrolling their kids in karate lessons, but we're kind of surprised by that. The overwhelming lesson of the films is that karate turns you into a sociopath.
More of us would have stayed in karate if we'd gotten uniforms like that. White is like the lamest color.
#5. Everyone, Free Willy
In Free Willy, a vagrant youth named Jesse is given to a well-meaning family after he vandalizes a Sea World-type amusement park. While working to clean up his mess, he befriends Willy, the park's resident killer whale and, with the help of a spunky assistant and a Native American, he learns to stop being such a dickbeard.
He also gains the ability to uppercut whales to a theme by Michael Jackson.
The Overreaction:
The owner of the park (who in a hilarious turn of events is Michael Ironside) has a million-dollar insurance policy on Willy and is actively trying to kill the whale so he can collect on it, despite the fact that he probably spent more on buying the whale and a tank for it to live in.
"I never got my GED."
When Jesse discovers the evil plot, he immediately declares, "There's no time!" and decides to steal the shit out of Willy and set him free in the ocean.
Wait. What exactly was there no time for?
This is one of those films where absolutely no authority figures seem to exist. Everything falls to the little kid main character for no reason at all. But that doesn't make sense -- there's a lot of money at stake, there's a crime being committed and there's a whale whose life is in danger, in a world where beached whales get immediate news coverage and teams of volunteers trying to keep them alive.
So it would've taken 10 minutes to call the cops and/or the insurance company and report Michael Ironside's impending fraud. From there, get on the phone with the local news and some environmental groups. It eliminates the profit motive by tipping off the insurance company, and it draws so much attention to the situation that Carlos the Jackal wouldn't make a move on that damn whale.
Willy would've probably been legally released after all was said and done, leaving no reason for whale-stealing black ops. This is a good life lesson, kids. Whenever you get the urge to go out and be a whale-stealing hero, stop, take a breath and ask yourself whether there are some grown-ups you can call.
Grown-ups: Good for more than drug money.
#4. Christof, The Truman Show
When reflecting on The Truman Show, it's easy to say that everyone in that movie was insane. And by everyone, we mean the entirety of planet Earth. Everyone watched a little baby grow into a man inside a TV studio while being lied to his whole life and told it was the real world. And there was only a small group of people who thought it was a violation of Truman's human rights.
Who approved this casting budget?
Think about how many laws have to not exist in that universe for this show to happen. It's apparently legal for a person or corporation to imprison a person, as long as you feed him. It's legal to film and record someone without his knowledge. It's legal to defraud a person out of literally every possible thing he could have in his life, from a real marriage to a real career. If it can be done to Truman, it can be done to anyone, including you. It's as much an "anything goes" society as The Road Warrior.
"Hey fellas, quick question. I really like what we're doing here, but, uh ... in what way is this not slavery? Because it kinda feels like slavery."
But we digress. In the film, no one did much about the situation, and Truman is left to discover on his own that he is the unwitting star of a reality show. Then he decides to escape from his lovely and accommodating prison, at which point the insanity factor really jumps to 11.
The Overreaction:
Behind the reality show was Christof, a man who secured the rights to filming a child and observed the whole thing from his base on the moon. That just screams supervillain.
Moon base: check. Beret: check. Black outfit: check. Someone get this man a cat.
When everything else fails to stop Truman from getting into a boat and sailing to freedom, Christof makes one last desperate attempt to save his show:He tries to drown Truman.
"This cannot possibly create a terrible precedent."
That's right; Christof doesn't decide to hedge his losses after Truman tries to escape -- he just straight decides to murder his ass. While most producers would, say, offer Truman more money or just find someone else to fill the role, Christof -- against the better judgment of his production staff -- intensifies an artificial storm until Truman is knocked from the boat. Even then, it takes him a moment to calm the fury while Truman struggles to survive.
It isn't until after he sees that his murder attempt has failed that Christof actually tries to bargain with Truman to save his show like a reasonable person. It's a good thing, too, because that would have been the world's hardest murder to cover up. The whole thing is on live TV, the cops know he's controlling the "storm," and they know he has motive. Hell, the attempt to kill Truman should have been enough to put him behind bars anywhere but this universe, where there are absolutely no legal consequences to doing anything ever.

I've heard some kind of story that after the Romans would conquer a new village or city, they would pour wine (or other alcohol?) down the wells to kill the bacteria and make it safe for future drinking. Has anyone ever heard of such a story?
If you heard that the pouring of wine was to kill bacteria, you know it's a fake. You have to wait till Louis Pasteur for bacteria. Also, unless there was a whole lot of wine/alcohol poured, it would have no effect whatsoever on the water in the well. Wine was very expensive in Roman times -- up to several slaves for a barrel in Gaul around 50BC as Caesar tells us -- unless I remember wrongly the source but I am fairly sure it is Caesar. If Roman were indeed doing so, it would have had nothing to do with making it safe for drinking.
Any wine pouring must have been symbolic or/and religious. Sadly, I do not know of any sources for this.

Is there a good utility for this? Does it more than the standard stuff, or does it also do formulas and poems etc. in a good way?
You could use Writer2LaTeX:
Perhaps have a look at alternative ways: Converters from PC Textprocessors to LaTeX
LibreOffice Writer, as one would expect, also includes Writer2LaTeX as an extension.
Writer2LaTeX is being actively developed (the current stable version is 1.0.2 (included with Ubuntu Natty, for example), the latest development alpha is 1.1.8. Changes include the development of Writer4LaTeX, aiming to integrate Writer with a LaTeX installation, providing a 'LaTeX' menu item on the LibreOffice Writer menu bar, effectively providing (by default)
The range of export options for Writer2LaTeX (Writer extension) and
If it may be of interest, visit the Writer2LaTeX project site, browse the documentation and perhaps give the software a try with copies of your documents. (If you have Ubuntu Natty then the v1.0.2 software and manual can be installed using Synaptic and the manual should then be at /usr/share/doc/writer2latex/manual/user-manual.odt).
I have used v1.0.2 for exporting several documents to aid with transitioning workflows from word processor or DTP software to TeX and friends. In general I have wanted good content conversion and some limited structure conversion and have had less interest in preserving the look of the document. My documents have generally been simple but the conversion has been helpful and, where the document was well structured (e.g. styles used) then this has been mostly preserved -- at least enough to provide suggestions for LaTeX commands and packages. The only notable exception was multiple columns were lost but I did not try changing options to achieve that: for my use it was easier to take the content and apply appropriate LaTeX commands to provide a suitable structure. This also applies to formulae. As an example, if Einstein's famous equation is entered as text (using a superscript) and then with the Writer equation editor the resulting .tex file, (created via Writer4LaTeX and Writer2Latex (v1.1.8) within LibreOffice Writer) contains:
There is useful discussion of file conversion to LaTeX in the question adding Word files to documents, including some helpful links to other tools and links to detailed consideration of their (de-)merits.
There is a new project called odt2tex. It is very small and only depends on libzip and libexpat. So there is no need to have libre/openoffice installed to run the Writer2LaTeX extension. Also you don't need a Java Runtime what would even allow this tool to run on RasPi in a feasible manner.
AbiWord (http://www.abisource.com/) has the facility to import documents and export as Latex. It is open source. I've used it a few times but the one downside is that the equations are rendered as images.

Nutcracker NYCBNutcracker NYCB
Posted 29 November 2010 - 11:57 AM
Posted 29 November 2010 - 08:05 PM
Any comments about the performances of this years NYCB Nutcracker. Can you really see any individuality from one year to the next?
I saw the opening night performance (Friday 11/26) with Jenifer Ringer (Sugarplum), Jared Angle (Cavalier), and Ashley Bouder (Dewdrop).
It was interesting to watch Jenifer and Ashley in the same act because they're such very different dancers. Neither Jenifer or Jared has Ashley's whiz bang technique but I really enjoyed them in their roles. I thought Jenifer was a very tender and maternal Sugarplum, very lovely, and her partnering with Jared had a true warmth to it. I don't think Jenifer shines as much in solos but I love how she dances pas de deux and interacts with other dancers (even in minor scenes, as when listening to the Prince's pantomime or leading the little angels, she seemed dramatically present and engaged with the other dancers in a very rich way).
Last year I saw Ashley as Sugarplum for the first time and I like her much more as Dewdrop: I think the role is just better suited to her (in part because there's no pas de deux) and obviously it really showcases her remarkable turns.
Teresa Reichlen's Coffee was a highlight for me Friday night, as always, and I'm so glad she's continued to dance the role even after her promotion.
I was amused by how Sean Suozzi, after doing a very reined in and tentative Candy Cane, seemed to regain his confidence after his big solo was over, and treated the audience to a much more enthusiastic set of jumps at the very end of the ballet (when the sweets dancers are bidding Marie and the Prince goodbye).
Do I see any individuality from one year to the next? I do. Partly from seeing different dancers but I also find that I notice new aspects of the ballet each year...at least so far!
Posted 02 December 2010 - 09:30 PM
Wednesday night was my first Nutcracker of the season and I was pleased overall. So was everyone else, apparently, as there were ample guffaws and spontaneous bursts of applause.
Maria Kowroski and Charles Askegard were superb as the Sugarplum Fairy and her cavalier. She treated us to a fine demonstration of her adagio technique, using her sweeping long limbs to maximum effect. Her supported arabesque, pulled along on the sliding plate during the grand pas de deux was majestic: she stood tall, straight and utterly immobile. I think that when that move is performed correctly, with no wobbling, it underscores Balanchine's sheer genius as a choreographer. Kowroski and Askegard both wobbled a bit in the supported arabesque with Askegard on one knee near the end of the duet (I've noticed that this is frequently the case; would it be crass to ask an NYCB dancer if there is something peculiarly difficult about this?), but concluded with a smooth, graceful fish dive. They received a well-deserved tumultuous ovation. The grand pas did provide an unexpected risible flourish when Kowroski's tutu began unraveling in the back, giving her a long, thin tail, with a fuzzy bit on the end. It floated and danced, as if of its own free will, glistening brightly under the lights. When Kowroski rejoined Askegard after his short solo, her tail had been docked.
Tea was marvelous, with Daniel Ulbricht wowing everyone with his madcap high jumps and wide splits. Newly-minted corpswomen Lauren Lovette and Sarah Villwock positively sparkled as his sidekicks, No Darn Fun and Achoo.
Teresa Reichlen was wonderful as the Arabian dancer. Since she is my favorite ballerina, I'm inclined to take everything she does with a grain of sugar, so it's probably not objective of me to say that her extensions and overall slinkiness were fabulous. Reichlen usually dances with her face frozen in a toothy, but mirthless smile, so it was particularly captivating when, on the very last note, she ended with a kittenish grin. The audience was charmed. I don't know if her Coffee was enough to awaken every man in the theater, as my balletomanic elders and betters tell me Gloria Govrin's was, but it was enough to quiet the four French businessmen sitting in front of me, who otherwise ran their bouches for pretty much most of the performance.
The only disappointment for me was Megan Fairchild's performance as the Dewdrop. Although capable, her turns were slow and her numerous sautes de chat were rather lackluster. Other Dewdrops (Bouder, Hyltin, Mearns, to name a few) end very effectively by freezing dramatically on the last note - wonderful! But when the music stopped last night, Fairchild was still moving. Since the Dewdrop is all speedy entrances and exits and tight turns and jumps through the flowers, a certain explosive verve is required to make the role, and Fairchild quite simply did not have it. Sara Mearns did bring all that to one rendition of the Dewdrop I saw last November, and for this reason, despite her falling, her performance was was far, far more compelling than Fairchild's. I made this observation to the out-of-town friend who accompanied me last night and was told that I am a nitpicking, spoiled New Yorker who doesn't know how good he's got it. I've seen Fairchild dance a much better Dewdrop before and I know she was just having an off night, so I will go watch her dance the role again this season...for you see, all it takes for me to get to the Ed Koch Theater is a short ride on the IRT. How good have New Yorkers got it?

There's a difference between being a "nitpicker" and being a discerning, knowledgeable audience member.

The disappointment and distraction for me on Weds night (aside from kids in the audience who seem to get more badly behaved each year) was Snowflakes. Lara Tong dropped one of her snowball things (whatever they're called, that the corps dancers carry at the finale) and I was holding my breath hoping no-one was going to slip and fall over it, when yet another girl dropped one of her pom pom things at the very front of the stage, and there were 2 hazards waiting to trip the dancers! I missed most of the wonderful finale as a result. The Snow dancers on opening night were much better! I'm hoping there are no more prop or wardrobe malfunctions this season! A special shout-out to Henry Seth, who makes a wonderful Dr. Stuhlbaum.

Ed Koch Theater!
Would that it were
Former Mayor Ed Koch just got a bridge! From today's NYT:
[font="Arial"][size="2"]The Bloomberg administration is set to announce plans on Wednesday to rename the Queensboro Bridge, the Midtown muse of Simon and Garfunkel and a steel signature of the city's skyline, after former Mayor Edward I. Koch, who turns 86 this month.[/size][/font] [font="Arial"][size="2"]
The 101-year-old bridge, which cantilevers over the East River from 59th Street in Manhattan to Long Island City, Queens, is not the only structure to be rechristened this week. State legislators voted on Tuesday to rename the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel after former Gov. Hugh L. Carey.[/size][/font][size="2"]
The creation of the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge must be approved by the City Council; Speaker Christine C. Quinn said Tuesday that she supported it, adding that Mr. Koch "deserves way more than a street."[/size]
Way more than just a bridge, even. And it just so happens that there's a theater that already has his name on it.
Posted 08 December 2010 - 12:50 PM
Remember this? I didn't discover it until much later, as 1985 was a rough year, Charles Strouse no less. Never heard of anybody seeing it. Of course, he went on to TV glory in the 90s with that judge show, that was boring. This even had Helmsley and Bellamy and Bess Myerson and Sue Simmons characters in it...although Sue's natural hilarity outdid itself with her on-air f-bomb a few years ago. I encourage interested parties to google this, as it is one of the funniest things I have ever heard, as is her (totally bored) apology in which she said 'I used a word'.
But now I think Ed Koch has enough things named after him, thank you.

. I want to see more of Justin Peck in a principal role. Anyone else feel that way? Justin is one of the most "musical" of the corps dancers.
Absolutely. A year or so ago Peck danced the prince in Firebird and took my breath away. Not just the musicality but the depth of characterization and feeling.

I heard a quote once how carefully a person needs to analyze every drop of ink in Rashi, but I don't remember who said it. Does any Rishon (medieval scholar) ever discuss their approach to Rashi's perush on Gemara? Do they ever make diyyukim, or do very close readings of rashi?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
There are many supercommentaries on Rashi's commentary to Chumash, which do pay very close attention to each word he wrote, but these are written by Acharonim for the most part.
Rashi's commentary was popular already throughout the times of the Rishonim. Here are several famous quotes from Rishonim about Rashi that I know of:
Ramban: (Inro. to commentary on Torah)
Rashbam: (Bereshis 37:2)
Abarbanel: (Intro. to Yehoshua)
(The title implies you are speaking about Rash"i's commentary on the g'mara, which was not composed the same way as his commentary on chumash but the question does not make a distinction.)
There are many supercommentaries on the commentary on the Torah, many of whom make statements like that. A great book that analyzes it all is this one: Patterns in Rashi. If you are looking for close readings and diyukim, that is the book for you.
There is a rishon who explicitly says how to analyze Rashi. It is Rabbi Yitzhak Kanpanton from Spain. He was the rabbi of the Abuhav who was the rabbi of the Bet Yosef. He wrote a clear approach of how to learn gemara.
This book can save the world. Nothing like it in the last 500 years. The Chason Ish held highly of the book, as did the Shelah. It is Darchei Hatalmud or Darchei Hagemera.
There are two rishonim who specifically praised Rashi's work on Gemara (as opposed to Chumash):
R. Yitzchak Canpanton: (Darchei HaTalmud, 12)
He similarly writes regarding questions of Tosafos: (siman 1)
The Meiri also has a poetic description of how Rashi must be studied with great care:
In order to help analyze Rashi you must also know his "buzzwords". In the back of every edition of Masechet Brachos is the Mevo Hatalmud. In the back of the Mevo Hatalmud is a small section called כּללים רשׁי "Klalim Rashi" where many terms are explained.

The last step is to personalize it by choosing slat sizes, lift systems, stains, and colors. Want to make more of a fashion statement? Soften your window coverings with decorative cloth tape.
Privacy and Light FilteringYou can have both light filtering and privacy. Our window blinds allow you to filter the right amount of light for your needs. And the view into your home from the outside is blocked. If you want even more privacy, use no- holes blinds. Instead of those little holes to guide the cord through the blinds, the slats are solid and the cord is wrapped around each slat. No-holes blinds help with blocking more unfiltered light.
Energy Efficiency and InsulationWho doesn't want increased energy efficiency and lower electric costs? Window blinds can help with that by providing one extra layer of insulation. You can keep your home interior comfortable by adding window insulating blinds. It's as easy as that.
Completely CustomizableSelectBlinds.com cuts all our window treatments to fit the exact measurements of your windows. But don't forget about your patio and sliding glass doors. You can order customized blinds for them, too. It doesn't matter how big or small the window is. You can find vertical or horizontal blinds that fit.
Cordless Safety and Motorization FeaturesProtect kids and pets from cord injuries with our cordless blind options. Many of our cordless window treatments also come with motorization features. Use a remote to raise, lower, and open slats! Cordless blinds create a more streamlined, clean appearance.

I found a cake recipe that wants maple sugar in it, but I don't have maple sugar. Can regular sugar be substituted?
If maple is intended to be a significant flavor in the cake (i.e. you're making a maple cake, or a maple rum cake) it's not going to be the same without it. The best substitutions would be maple syrup, or white sugar plus maple extract, so that you still get that wonderful flavor.
As for quantities, looking around online, the common recommendations for replacing 1/2 cup of maple sugar seem to be:
If you can do without the maple flavor, then you could just use the 3/4 cup white sugar, but I suspect it wasn't a superfluous ingredient!
In the case of this recipe, it looks like the maple is important, but there aren't liquids to reduce. That probably means that the easiest option is the maple extract, but you could also take the recommended amount of maple syrup, and boil it down until you've lost the right amount of water. (For example, for 1 cup of maple sugar, take 2 cups maple syrup and reduce it to 1.5 cups.)

[European Union]
[trade surplus]
European Union (EU) chemicals production recorded a 1.9%
decrease in the first four months of 2012 compared with the
same period in 2011, according to the latest Cefic Chemicals
Trends Report. Monthly data for April 2012 showed a 1.9%
decline compared with the previous April. April 2012 data show
that the EU chemicals production level remains 5.2% below the
peak in 2007.
Prices for chemicals in the EU continued to climb on a
year-on-year basis in April, up 3.2% during the month against
the comparable month in 2011. The price increase was led yet
again by the overall price increase in basic inorganics. The
latest data show the EU chemicals net trade surplus improved
through the first quarter of 2012 by 2.4 billion,
compared with the same period last year, reaching 12.5
billion. According to the latest EU Commission survey from May
30, 2012, confidence in the EU chemicals industry declined in
May, based mainly on a strong deterioration in managers
expectations for the months ahead.
Consumer chemicals was the only subsector to avoid a drop in
the April EU chemicals production index, up 1.6% in April 2012
compared with April 2011. Specialty chemicals and basic
inorganics production decreased in April by 4.2% and 3.8%,
respectively, on a year-on-year basis. Polymers production
declined in April 2012 by 2.7% against the comparable period
the year prior. Petrochemicals experienced no change
in the same period.
Monthly data for April 2012 showed a 1.9% decline for the EU
chemicals industry compared, with April of the previous year.
The EU trade surplus improved by 2.4 billion through the
first quarter of 2012, and March 2012 trade data indicated a
12.5 billion overall EU chemicals net trade surplus. An
EU net trade surplus with the NAFTA region contributed
significantly to the additional surplus generated from January
to March, reaching 3.3 billion, up 1.3 billion
compared with the period from January to March 2011. The EU net
trade surplus with the rest of Europe was 3.4 billion in the
first quarter of 2012, up 0.5 billion compared with the
first quarter of 2011. A 1.5 billion surplus occurred
with Asia, excluding Japan, and China, which fell 0.5
billion when compared with the first quarter of 2011.
EU chemicals sales for March 2012 were 1.4% lower compared
with March 2011. The overall sales level continues to surpass
the pre-crisis peak reached at the beginning of 2008. Compared
to full-year sales levels in 2008, the total value of sales
through the first three months of 2012 was 6.1% higher.
As previously mentioned, the latest EU Commission report
revealed confidence in the EU chemicals industry deteriorating
markedly (5.4) in May 2012, based mainly on a strong
deterioration in managers expectations for the months
ahead (8.5). Moreover, managers assessment of their
companies current level of order books deteriorated
sharply (4.2). Also, the assessment of the adequacy of
the current level of stocks of finished products worsened.
Managers assessments of their companies past
production and current level of export order books also
declined. Employment plans were further revised down. At the
same time, selling price expectations decreased modestly.

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

It seems the definition of the center of a group and a normal subgroup are the same so I'm wondering what the difference is between the two?
A group $H$ is normal in $G$ iff $Hg=gH$ for all $g \in G$.
The center of a group $Z(G) = \{z| \in G$ and for all $g \in G, gz=zg\}$
Those statements seem equivalent to me.

A new public computer station at the Wellsburg Volunteer Fire Department will provide a much-needed service to area residents, and we thank all those involved for seeing it happen.
The new computer lab is the result of a partnership between the fire department, the federal Broadband Technology Opportunities Program and the Future Generations Graduate School. Best of all, the use of these 10 computers is completely free to the public. We also would like to thank firefighter Edwin Kins for agreeing to serve as the mentor of the computer lab. This is work he is doing for the community on his own time in addition to his service as a firefighter, and he deserves to be recognized.
While much of our daily lives depends on some form of computer access, we recognize not everyone has one of their own. Our local libraries have some computers available for the public, but there is still concern about access for those who can't make it to the library or those who are just looking to learn some basic computer skills.
This station is the first of its kind to be established in the Northern Panhandle. Plans are in the works for a similar computer lab to be set up in the Follansbee Volunteer Fire Department for residents of that community.
The grant for the Wellsburg station should provide funding for approximately four months, and while the fire department will be able to keep the computers, the public use will be dependent upon the availability of future funding.
We encourage those involved to work to find ways to keep this and labs like it funded for as long as possible.

Alien: Isolation dev diary discusses giving the alien the freedom to hunt youWritten by: / / 14 Comments
"Alien: Isolation is about encounters that are meaningful and terrifying… even when the alien isn't on screen, you'll be terrified by the thought that it'll be around the next corner – it's a game where you'll never feel safe."
– Al Hope, Alien: Isolation Creative Lead
That pretty much sums up precisely the thoughts, feelings and fears your mind will be wrought with while creeping through the corridors of the Sevastopol, a remote trading post floating in the furthest reaches of space that you as Amanda Ripley have been tasked with investigating in Alien: Isolation.
Except you're definitely not the only one aboard the vessel, because other than the chance of meeting up with a few Synthetics (AKA an androids), there is something else stalking your movements: A single, solitary Xenomorph.
Throwing Away the Script
Taking its cues from the original Alien movie, Alien: Isolation will pit you against the frightful strength, intelligence and cunning of only one alien, but as opposed to other games where the movements and appearances of this enemy might be predictable, in Creative Assembly and SEGA's first-person horror game the Xenomorph's tactics will change according to how you approach the game – other than perhaps the odd scripted sequence here and there, the alien can appear and attack at any time during the game.
In the developer interview below, you can hear about how the team at Creative Assembly is trying to ensure that you'll always be thinking about your next encounter with the alien, and how you'll survive:
Alien: Isolation – Developer Diary:"Creating The Alien"
Alien: Isolation is out on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in late 2014. In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled and look through El33tonline's previous and continued coverage of the first-person horror action adventure game for more.

text: There isn't too much information on this Castle Crashers character and I don't know why. I guess I should just get right to it and show you "how to draw Snakey", step by step. He falls in the nature magic type, his magic splash is vines, his magic projectile is a dagger, Snakey's magic jump is called 'vine jump', and his signature weapon is the Snakey mace. This character consists of green, and lime colors, and he will also be easy to replicate. Enjoy drawing Snakey folks I will be back with the last Castle Crashers figure next.


text: I guess the last lesson that I submitted was a big hit because it already has three comments and a five star rating. This next tutorial is going to show you "how to draw fat people", step by step. I know the subject is a bit harsh, but the fact is, plenty of artists would like to know how you draw plump looking individuals. Drawing people is hard enough, can you imagine how hard it would be to try and tackle a character drawing on a person that was over weight? That is why I am submitting this lesson now. I like drawing people, which means I like drawing all kinds of body shapes and sizes. Drawing a fat person is much easier than one would think. In fact I think it might be easier to draw a chunky person because their bodies are so round which basically means drawing them would be easier and less detailed. Anyways, I hope you guys end up learning something new from this tutorial that will teach you "how to draw fat people step by step". I will be back with more fun lessons on the way so stay tuned in to see what comes up next. Peace out people and happy drawing. Oh yeah, the two figures are different in size as you can see. The one to the left is sketched out to look like a plus size girl, and the figure to the right is of a chunky or fat boy. I just thought I would let you know what their body types are. Okay, take care now, bye, bye, then.

The projects are expected to improve reliability, reduce key emissions and improve the refinery's ability to convert crude oil into transportation fuels.
Flint Hills Resources has announced plans to make
improvements to several processing units at its Pine Bend
refinery in Rosemount, Minnesota. The projects are expected to
improve reliability, reduce key emissions
and improve the refinery's ability to convert crude oil into
transportation fuels.
The proposed projects involve replacing three
less-efficient heaters with two new heaters, upgrading an
existing process heater and making improvements to the refinery's cooling towers. The new
and modified heaters will include best available control
equipment for nitrogen oxide (NOX) emissions and use cleaner-burning
natural gas or fuel gas.
The new equipment and process improvements will lead to more
efficient operations, allowing the refinery to operate closer to its
design capacity of 320,000 bpd while continuing to make
reductions in key emissions.
The projects are subject to regulatory review and will
require permits from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
The projects must also receive final approval from Flint Hills
Resources management. Construction of the projects is
expected to begin in 2014.
The projects, estimated to cost
approximately $400 million, are expected to create as many as
four million hours of new work, increasing the current
temporary contract workforce at Pine Bend from a daily average
of about 500 to more than 1,000 over at least the next five
years. Pine Bend currently employs more than 900 people
full-time and can have between 400 and 2,000 contract workers
onsite on any given day.

Green Energy: How to Undermine Industrial Civilization and Become More Vulnerable to Nature
March 10, 2009
The second International Conference on Climate Change, ICCC-2, took place in March 2009 in New York City. The theme for ICCC-2 was "Global Warming: Was It Ever Really a Crisis?". The conference demonstrated that the number of global warming "realists" is growing rapidly, and the scientific community is turning against alarmism.

It is exciting at least one of their stores has a completely different feel, the one that opened yesterday. But the concept started so RadioShack could bring in more money. They're focusing on interactive displays so customers can test out the product and have a great in-store shopping experience. picture credit: RadioShack
RadioShack has stated in press releases that they plan on opening at least 100 of these "concept" stores by the end of the year. The design will then spread throughout all their remaining stores. The concept store that is different from the others just opened yesterday (October 20,2013) in Fort Worth, Texas. RadioShack decided to tailor their hometown's store to have a mid-century retro feel. The location is in the Commerce Building in Sundance Square and it will have location-specific features such as a brand evolution banner on the outside of the stores with their logos from 1921 to the present, custom uniforms for employees, interactive projections, and screens with the history of RadioShack. Examples of the old logos around the outside of the store. picture credit: RadioShack Facebook

What do you think of their new designs? Will it help their brand?

This is a interesting one. I use a KVM switch on my Mac Pro and Cinema Display. While the display is on another computer, the Mac switches to a different resolution (not seeing a monitor). I know it does while switching back to the Mac as my screen windows have changed places, to the lower half of my screen while the resolution is back to normal.
Does anybody know how to prevent this from happening. I've searched for "fixed screen resolution" etc. I've tried SwitchXres and Stay to no avail. (These apps do not work if there is no screen.)
It would be great if I could set the screen resolution to only one setting (the max) and that there are no other alternatives where the Mac could choose from.

I am looking into a new project, and one idea that was tossed around is to replace the motor on the truck with a FlexFuel model. I looked around and see gmperformanceparts website, but they don't have stock engines. I also saw this site which is almost dead on, except the newest block they list is an '07, I'm looking for something newer.
Yes, I'm aware this would require more work than just dropping the motor in, but remember this is a project, so little problems along the way won't detract from the overall goal.

"Things can happen all at once and little changes can make a huge difference" –
Malcolm Gladwell
January was quite a month. In fact, it's been my business's (Manage My Website) busiest period since I started it two years ago.
The enquiries are coming in thick and fast – from the UK (where we're based) and countries as far flung as the USA, Egypt and Holland. We're working on websites for retailers, charities and even the NHS, plus we're about to partner with MODA Commerce, one of the teams behind the Mary Portas website. My business is on the brink of exploding.
Some years ago I read a book by Malcolm Gladwell, The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference. As Gladwell explains, tipping points are: "The levels at which momentum for change becomes unstoppable."
So what's led my business to this key stage? Lots of little things, really. They may have seemed insignificant at the time, but together they've created what we have become today and our business has reached its very own tipping point.
Before starting my business, I hadn't realised I could sell. But in my eyes, I'm not selling to potential clients, I'm just extremely passionate about what I do and that probably shines through.
Nobody can predict what's around the corner, but I have a very good feeling about 2011. I hope I've inspired anyone thinking of branching out on their own that if you're passionate about what you do, have the right skills and work incredibly hard, you'll reach your own tipping point.

Cool wave design makes this innovative tube feeder stand out in your yard. Water-based preservative protects cedar from insects and the damage they create. Acrylic sides let you see when to refill seed and diverter on bottom ensures seed gets to bottom feeding ports. One of the most stellar features about this feeder is the easy-clean design. Acrylic sides slide up and out to wash and dry by hand, and Removable Fresh Seed™ bottom steel mesh slips in and out easily. Removable bottom mesh also serves as a diverter to ensure seed gets to bottom ports, and mesh allows for drainage to keep seed dry. Black wooden roof opens to the side to offer easy filling and less spilling. Four rust-free, aluminum feeding ports are great for small birds. The longer trays at the base of the feeder invite larger birds, so you'll have great variety at this feeder. 5-year manufacturer's warranty! Vinyl-coated steel hanging wire included. 8.25" x 8.5" x 14.5" high. Hold 2 quarts.
Serve cardinals, chickadees, grosbeaks, finches, titmice, jays, nuthatches, juncos (and other ground feeding birds).

Let me start off by saying, I've been trying to run Ubuntu on my custom PC for about 2 years. From 10.04 to 12.04, this problem persists.
When I try to boot Ubuntu from either a USB stick or a CD, I see the normal Ubuntu splash screen. It looks like it's working, orange dots are moving, but then the screen glitches and freezes.
I'm assuming this happens because there are no drivers for my graphics card (Nvidia GeForce 8800, I think). My motherboard has no onboard graphics, nor does it have a VGA out.
So, how can I get this working on my system? Can I somehow put the drivers along side the .img on the USB stick?
I can boot from my Ubuntu USB stick on my MacBook. In case that helps anyone...

Chicken Caesar Wraps
Categories: Low-fat, Lunchbox, Quick to fix
Type: Sandwiches
Type: Sandwiches
These simply flavored wraps let the chicken and lemon herb flavors shine through.
Serves: 4 servings
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 5 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon-Herb Rub
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 4 cups torn romaine lettuce
- 3 tablespoons chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup bottled nonfat or reduced-fat Caesar salad dressing
- 2 tablespoons grated nonfat or regular Parmesan cheese
- 4 flour tortillas (8- to 10-inch rounds)
Save Recipe
Add to shopping list
- Rinse the chicken with cool water, and pat it dry with paper towels. Using your fingers, rub both sides of each piece of chicken with some of the rub. If you have time, set the chicken aside for 15 to 30 minutes to allow the flavors to better penetrate the meat.
- Coat a broiler pan with nonstick cooking spray, and arrange the chicken on the pan. Spray the tops of the chicken lightly with the cooking spray, and broil 6 inches under a preheated broiler, turning occasionally, for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the meat is nicely browned and no longer pink inside. Alternatively, grill the chicken over medium coals for 12 to 15 minutes, or until done. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board, and set aside.
- Place the lettuce and onions in a large bowl. Add the salad dressing, and toss to mix well. Add the Parmesan, and toss again. Dice the chicken, add it to the lettuce mixture, and toss to mix well.
- Heat the tortillas according to package directions. Arrange the warm tortillas on a flat surface. Place 1/4 of the lettuce mixture along the right side of each tortilla, stopping 1 1/2 inches from the bottom.
- Fold the bottom edge of each tortilla up about 1 inch. (This fold will prevent the filling from falling out.) Then, beginning at the right edge, roll each tortilla up jelly-roll style, and serve.
- In a hurry? Substitute 1 1/4 cups of diced store-bought rotisserie chicken for the grilled chicken.

Yes, it could happen — one of our own could be running show
April 14, 2011
Wisconsin's own Paul Ryan could be president some day. Whether he should be president is a different matter — but as far as viability is concerned, look at the facts: The Republicans are looking for a fresh face. Mitt Romney is wooden. Newt Gingrich is old hat. Donald Trump is a joke. The Tea Party leaning candidates probably can't pull enough of the moderate voters needed to win. Former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty? Doubtful. So, that leaves the Republican Party with ... nobody.

Although I enjoy almost all sports, I don't typically use this column to talk about those things. An editorial should be about important national topics such as our more than $14 trillion national debt, increasing health care costs and the use of politics by some to make excuses or try to explain why an insane man shot people at an Arizona grocery store. An editorial typically should be an opinion about a local issue such as the rescue and fire services disagreement between Geneva Township and the Lake Geneva Fire Department or whether the Walworth County District Attorney's Office should have filed charges against Lake Geneva city staff for mismanagement.

Special section celebrates 175th anniversary
March 24, 2011

Finding a budgetary solution everyone can deal with
March 10, 2011
As unions, teachers and others in the state continue to battle Gov. Scott Walker and his proposed state budget and repair bill, theres at least one community that seemingly has come together to deal with the likely future cuts rather than just argue about them.Lake Geneva teachers, support staff, administrators and School Board members have agreed to renegotiated two-year contracts that will ensure no layoffs or staff cuts for 2011-12.Teachers, staff and administrators conceded to paying higher portions of their health insurance premiums and to their pensions. They also agreed to a two-year wage freeze.
The Time is Now to Help
Student asks TIN to help grandma
March 10, 2011
Dear W.C.,I am worried about my grandma. She has been very sick. I am in college out of state and surprised her with a visit last week. I was shocked by how bad she looked. She is much too skinny and her house was very cold. I cried when I saw she had very little food in the house. I am in college on a scholarship and do not have any money to help her myself. I used what money I had and bought her some food. I asked her if she was paying her bills and she told me it wasnt my concern. I saw overdue bills on her kitchen counter. I also noticed her glasses were broken and asked her if she had another pair. She said she did not, which has me worried because I know she cannot see without them. She raised me as a child when my own mother was incapable. She encouraged me my whole life to get educated and be the best I could be. I am the only relative my grandma has left to count on. I feel so sad seeing her struggle after years of caring for me.
The good fight hard to find these days in politics
March 03, 2011
Chuck and I agreed to disagree.Whether it was about Joe McCarthy or President Obama or welfare or warfare, we were rarely on the same side of the political spectrum. And after the debates were done, after wed exhausted our arguments, we could still sit down, have a beer and talk about other things. Somehow thats become difficult these days and the protests in Madison this week are a living example. As I watch the story unfold I find it hard not to feel my blood pressure rise at the same time. The irony is that I see both sides, and both sides anger me with their stridency and their stretching of the facts.
From assistant editor to temporary, part-time reporter
February 24, 2011
I could do your job.The woman spat her words and her whiskey stink directly in my face. Her red eyes glanced at the yellow notepad in my lap. We sat shoulder to shoulder on folding chairs in a crowded room. Everyones chatter forged a dull roar which wasnt loud enough to drown out her words. Im sure you could, I told her.
From Roatan to Appleton its been an exciting few weeks
February 17, 2011
Just 14 days ago, while the Lake Geneva area and state was digging out of one of the worst snowstorms in recent memory, I was basking in the sun on a beach in Roatan, Honduras.The water was that surreal aqua blue color and lush greenery on hilly terrain surrounded the beach. The sun felt like fire, but the water was warm, clear and soothing. Sadly, we knew we had to venture back north, hitting Cozumel and then cruising through the Gulf of Mexico on the way back to America. It was just days later on the night we headed home from our splendid Caribbean cruise, the Green Bay Packers won the Super Bowl. It had been 14 years since the Packers last won the biggest professional football game of the year.
A snowy pleasure for some, others not thrilled

The following are some snow experiences from last week as told by Lake Geneva Regional News staff members.John Halverson:
A free cup of coffee and advice from a local
February 03, 2011
So youre in Lake Geneva for Winterfest.You heard there were some neat snow sculptures. Theyre really cool, but so is the weather. So now youre wondering what else to do. When I go to a new city, I dream of running into some local resident, someone in a little coffee shop maybe someone to serve as a tour guide.

The Center for Global Health is part of the Department of Community Health at Boonshoft School of Medicine. Our goals are to improve the quality, efficiency and access to health care. We serve the local community as well as play a role in developing national models.
We promote the education of all health providers — physicians, hospitals, managers, insurers, employers — in areas of management and health economics. We believe that one of the keys to success for the future of health care is the orientation of population-based health care. While continuing the individual care to a patient, a health provider must also understand and support the needs of the community.
Through grants and contracts, we analyze and develop programs and systems of care. Through our interests in preventive and community based health care we work to prevent disease, disability, and lost quality of life.
In parallel to our educational programs, we provide consulting and services to health providers and health systems. Our local expertise combined with our national experience combines to offer valuable service. As part of a university system, the cost of our consulting operation is substantially below that of large, for-profit firms.
A key role that we play is to serve as an organization that stimulates critically necessary dialogue in health care public policy. In addition to promoting universal health care, we provide a forum for ideas, new, old, current, and recycles to be aired, debated, and developed.
Finally, we see the health care enterprise as continuously changing, meeting new needs, and responding to new developments. It is our practice to be at the edge of these changes, to anticipate them, prepare for them, and be a part of them as they enter the health care environment.
Provide education, conduct research, and promote service towards improving and sustaining the health of populations and individuals worldwide.
Improved health outcomes everywhere

Created: 11/24/2013 10:05 PM
(AP) GREEN BAY, Wis. - The Packers' losing streak without Aaron Rodgers is over, though the frustration continues in Titletown.
A tie did little to lift spirits in chilly Green Bay.
Backup quarterback Matt Flynn threw for 218 yards and helped spark a rally from a 16-point deficit early in the fourth quarter to the Minnesota Vikings. But the teams could only muster field goals in overtime and had to settle for a 26-26 draw Sunday.
"It's an empty feeling. You go out there and didn't lose the game," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. "But you feel like you didn't accomplish what you set out to do."
Same sentiment in the Vikings' locker room, where one player held tightly to a hot cup of coffee to warm up following a game that started with temperatures in the upper teens.
"I view it as a loss, personally. We gave up a 16-point lead in the fourth quarter," defensive end Jared Allen said. "I don't have a sister, but I'm going to say it's like going to prom with your sister."
For a while, the match was full of heart-racing drama.
Mason Crosby hit from 20 yards at 10:28 of the extra period and Blair Walsh connected from 35 with 3:54 left.
Greg Jennings, playing his first game at Lambeau Field as a member of the Vikings (3-8-1), dropped a third-down pass with 2:11 left. The Packers (5-5-1) also stumbled on their next possession.
One last chance for the Vikings went nowhere with 1 second left, and the teams walked off with the first tie in the NFL since the Rams and 49ers ended 24-24 on Nov. 11, 2012.
At least the 77,000-plus frigid fans got to witness a bit of history _ this was first game to end in a tie under the new overtime rule instituted last year that continues the extra period if both teams open it with field goals. A touchdown by either team would have ended the game.
Jacksonville and Houston both kicked field goals to open OT in a game on Nov. 18, 2012, then the Texans won it with a touchdown.
"I think to everybody around here, it feels like a loss, for sure," Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk said.
The Packers are also in unfamiliar territory with so much instability at quarterback. It's been that way since Rodgers _ perhaps the most irreplaceable player in the NFL _ hurt his left collarbone on the first series of a 27-20 loss to the Bears on Nov. 4 that started the winless string.
Flynn, Rodgers' former backup who was re-signed last week, replaced the ineffective Scott Tolzien and finished 21 of 36 for 218 yards and a touchdown. He nearly led Green Bay back from a 23-7 deficit early in the fourth quarter to a win.
Flynn caught a break in overtime after a third-down sack was called off by a holding penalty on Vikings safety Robert Blanton. He followed with three long completions, including a 34-yarder to the leaping Jarrett Boykin to the 7.
Two runs by Eddie Lacy (110 yards on 25 carries) got the Packers to the 2, but Flynn misfired on third down to set up Crosby's kick.
Adrian Peterson had 146 yards and a score on 32 carries. He and Toby Gerhart (91 yards on eight carries) dented the Packers' worn defense in overtime, but could not get in the end zone. The Vikings settled for Walsh's kick.
That was it for the scoring. The fans bundled up in parkas and knit caps to brave temperatures in the upper teens had to settle for a draw.
Some positives for the Packers: a maligned defense stopped two late fourth-quarter drives; Lacy's running; Flynn's play in relief. And the tie being less damaging than a loss would have been in the division race.
"Looking at the guys' eyes in the huddle, I don't think there was any doubt," Flynn said. "I'm proud of the guys for fighting, but we just have to finish."
Things looked bleak for them early in the fourth quarter after Walsh's 29-yard field gave Minnesota 23-7 lead.
Up to that point, Christian Ponder was the best quarterback on the field. He connected with Rhett Ellison for a 12-yard touchdown pass that helped give the Vikings build a 16 point lead.
Ponder finished 21 of 30 for 233 yards. Maybe the quarterback carousel has finally come to a halt in Minnesota, though afterward Ponder was focused on a missed opportunity.
"We let it get out of our hands," he said. "It's unfortunate we're not walking away with our third victory."
Notes: Jennings was booed heartily by Packers fans after the first of his two catches, totaling 29 yards. ... Audie Cole finished with 13 tackles and a sack starting for leading tackler and MLB Erin Henderson, who missed the game for a personal matter. ... CB Sam Shields missed a second straight game for the Packers with a hamstring injury. ... Tolzien finished 7 of 17 for 98 yards, but had an entertaining 6-yard touchdown run in the first quarter after putting a spin move on a defender before stumbling into the end zone. ... The only other tie between the teams was a 10-10 draw on Nov. 26, 1978.

Former Rampage goaltender Jacob Markstrom has racked up quite an impressive trophy case from his time representing Team Sweden at international tournaments.
There's the silver medal from the 2009 World Junior Championships, in which Markstrom also was named the tournament's best goaltender, and the pair of bronze medals from the 2010 World Junior Championships and the 2010 Men's World Championships.
On May 19th, the Swedish netminder added a gold medal to his list of accomplishments, as Team Sweden bagged the gold at the Men's World Championships held in Stockholm, Sweden and Helsinki, Finland. With a 5-1 victory over Switzerland and an 8-2-0 overall record in the tournament, Sweden became the first home team to win gold since 1986.
Markstrom started three games for Sweden and posted a 2-0-0 record. The 6-foot-6 goaltender also appeared in two additional games, wrapping up the tournament with a 2-0-0 record and a 0.934 save percentage and a 1.58 goals against average in a backup role for the eventual gold-medal winners.
The Rampage caught up with Markstrom to talk about his experience at World Championships…
How exciting was it to win the gold medal on your home ice in front of your home crowd?
Whenever you get to play for your country it's really big. With the tournament in Sweden my family was able to come out to a lot of the games. We struggled a little bit in the group rounds, but we started playing well at the right time. We got the Sedin twins from Vancouver towards the end of the tournament and that helped. We had a lot of guys contribute and step up throughout the tournament.
Personally, how would you evaluate your play in the tournament?
It's definitely different playing on the Olympic size ice. It does change the game a little bit. I didn't play as well as I would have liked. Obviously every time I go out there I don't want to allow any goals and I want to win every game. We went with (Jhonas) Enroth as the starter and the two of us have a good relationship. We push each other and we really had a good vibe in the locker room. Supporting each other like we did was really important because we were able to go out there and play loose and have fun.
It seemed like the team had a good combination of veteran guys mixed it with some of the younger guys…
Yea, we had a good mix of guys. We had our veterans kind of leading the way and then we had a good group of young players. I hadn't been to World Championships in three years and it was really exciting to see some of the young players who have been developing in Sweden. Those young guys really stepped up.
How special is it for you to put on the Team Sweden jersey?
It's really big. You always feel pride whenever you put on the jersey of your national team. Having the tournament in Sweden made it extra special to be able to play in front of our home fans. I grew up watching Sweden play in the Olympics and in World Championships. I always wanted to be on those teams. Now I've played in two World Championships. It's a special feeling. We all wear the Sweden jersey with a lot of pride.
From the photos, it looked like the team had quite a parade after winning the gold. It was reported that 20,000 fans showed up to celebrate…
Yea, we had a big celebration the next day with the royal family in Stockholm at the Royal Palace. I had actually never been there before so it was a cool experience. We were all pretty tired after the tournament, but it's not every day you get to share a glass of champagne with the royal family.

5 Warning Signs Your Child's Daycare Is Not Right for You
3 of 6
Low Standards for Safety and Cleanliness
Are emergency phone numbers, such as poison control and the hospital, visible and posted for easy reference? Does the staff hold fire drills? Is the playground safe and secure from strangers? Are children prevented from climbing on the counters or other high places? It may seem like common sense to you, but childproofing and stranger safety should be of utmost importance to the center, too. If the staff is unaware of an emergency procedure that should be followed, or the playground is not fenced in, making it easy for a little one to wander off or be lured away, then it is not the place for your child. After all, you should be able to trust these individuals with your child's safety.
The cleanliness of the center should be high on your priority list, too. The staff should enforce hand-washing rules, and toys and any surfaces should be cleaned on a regular basis. The last thing you need is your child getting sick at daycare because of dirty toys and unsanitary conditions.
Next: Lack of Communication

I have an iPhone with 100+ notes that I've collected over the last 10 years (thanks to migrating from my Palm Pilot). I realize that I can now sync these with gmail, but that doesn't allow me to edit them from my computer. I'd rather switch to use a new app/website combo which allows for online editing of notes, automatic OTA syncing, etc.
It seems like SimpleNote and EverNote are 2 of the better app/sites, as mentioned here:
Web application to sync with Apple Notes
And from this article, I think SimpleNote is exactly what I'm looking for:
The problem is, I can't figure out how to migrate all of my existing notes into whatever new notes app I choose. So my question is 2 part:
1) How do I migrate my existing Apple iOS notes into SimpleNote or EverNote?
2) And if that's not possible, then is there another iOS notes app/website combo that will allow me to import my existing notes?
The best workaround I've found so far is to open each note, select all, copy, and create a new note in the iOS app. But I'd rather not spend the time and hassle doing this for ~100 notes.
Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions!

So I was working on stencyl as I've just recently downloaded it and I was following the crash coarse 2 tutorial on their website http://www.stencyl.com/help/view/crash-course-invaders-1/ this
I went all the way through the tutorial and found that it wasn't working properly once i tested it. I checked for any inconsistencies between my product and the example in the tutorial but I couldn't find any.
The issue is that while testing the game, whenever I try to fire the bullets at the enemies the bullets don't travel and they push my ship backwards off the screen.
The other issue I had was that when I set the collision with the edges of the games screen with my ship it will collide with the right side of the screen and stay on it but it will go off forever to the left side.
I don't know how to fix this but if anyone can help me please do.

Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.

The Salvation Army of Bowling Green Adopt-A-Kettle program is currently underway and they say by volunteering to take a kettle out for even just a day, can make a big difference.
"By using volunteers, the buckets are always bigger. Volunteer kettles are always better because of the excitement level. Also, they have a great time, families get to volunteer together. Usually it's two or three people at a time. They have a lot of laughs and they see people they know in the community and that always translates into donations." said Major Ed Binnix of the Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army says it takes fifty thousand hours to man all of the twenty-six kettles that are in service in our area. It says volunteers in Russellville and Franklin are desperately needed this season. The holidays are important to the group because twenty percent of their yearly income is accumulated at this time.
