Attending City Council meetings or watching the same on local cable TV has been a habit of mine for many years, and that gives me a chance to know exactly what is going on in our city and be able to discuss important issues. Tuesday's meeting was not an exception, with the major difference that the administration said it cut projected budget gap from $16 million to $3 million. Wonderful. Fantastic. Marvelous, right? Wrong.
The steps taken to balance the budget should have taken place many years ago. Let me explain. Instead of waiting for the last minute to fully fund the Fire Department and relying on grants, why was the administration not more active instead of reactive? The laziness of the administration should be pointed out. Or was it the lack of competency? One way or the other, lack of responsibility was obvious.
Why not, here is a touchy one, reduce the police force from 225 to 200 and lay off 35 firefighters instead of 60? This way both departments will be treated equally.
Loan orders for projects completed a long time ago still have funds available for other purposes than the original because the project cost less then what was expected. Why, then, were those funds dormant since 2006? The important factor to mention is that was not only one account, but several.
Why is a city that is in tremendous financial pressure spending money on recreation parks when more important issues need to be prioritized? Showers in the mayor's office should not have been one of them.
Why raise salaries of people who had shown a total ignorance of their duties? I am referring to the law department that not only lost $800,000, but also the cost of appealing a court case knowing that it was a lost one. Everyone — elected officials (except the administration), community activists, and neighborhood groups — knew in advance that it was a lost cause, but for whatever reason, the administration did not believe anyone but their friends, the "lawyers."
Why does a city have a law department which hires outside law firms at $365 an hour when the same job can be done in house at $150?
Why does the administration not want to reveal the details about security cameras, claiming factors beyond my understanding? City workers feel like they are being spied on on a constant basis.
I am not an expert on anything, but the use of common sense should prevail. Even in politics.

Over that last 13 years that I have been a member of Carmi Fitness Center, I have become known as "that girl that lifts weights." I'm not at all bothered by it. People stop me at the grocery store and ask me if I am "still going to the gym." It has become a large part of my identity and who I am. Yet, I still have individuals ask me "Why lift weights?" I am all too happy to explain.
I started lifting weights when I was 19 years old back in 1989. Gym was a physical education requirement for college, so I signed up for a circuit weight lifting class. I weighed a hundred pounds back then and was super tiny with no muscle definition at all. The class spurred my interest in weight lifting and I found that I loved it. My younger brother was also lifting at that time and encouraged me to lift as heavy as possible to build my physique. It seemed like it happened quickly, within a couple of months my legs had changed drastically and my once wimpy body had muscle.
Life intervened in my early twenties and I quit the gym for a few years. I was working out at home to save money. Back then the "Legs of Steel" video tapes were huge, as well as aerobic workouts. I lost the muscle that I had gained at the gym, but I was still in good shape. It occurred to me that working out was a great way to beat daily stress. I also noticed that I felt better in general when I was physically active.
As the years rolled on, in my early thirties my finances improved and my gym visits were back in full force. I was always trying something new in terms of bodybuilding. This fit lifestyle is what I consider "fun." I like the variety and the challenges that it offers. Every day is a chance to better your previous record. I can lift more, run farther, run faster, or try a whole new routine. Going to the gym keeps me from getting bored with myself.
My 25-year class reunion is this summer. Many of my classmates have fallen into one of two categories either they have completely let themselves go, or they have starved their self to stay thin. Neither is attractive. We cannot stay 19 forever. So why not lead a healthy active lifestyle and maintain the body you have been given?
Going to the gym can keep your stress levels down and your bones strong by lifting weights. It is also great for maintaining flexibility, managing your weight and your blood pressure. It is a sure fire way to beat Type II diabetes and other health ailments. Life is short. I will forever be known as "that girl that lifts weights," because I buy into the perks that come from living a healthy life. Be good to your body and your body will be good to you.

A statement from the office of Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine: Search warrants were executed today in the Ohio Attorney General's ongoing investigation in connection with the Steubenville rape......
People of the Ville; now is the time for Moms and Dads to take control of your children, your schools, and your city government.
We can no longer tolerate low standards of behavior, education, or protection.
Rallies should be scheduled to get these items moving. Rally around good things not bad.

It is apparent that the school board and officials have no ethics or morals..They gave the coach who "would take care of it" a new contract..The grand jury needs to issue subpoenas to the 16 people who refused to testify and if they still refuse, hold them in contempt and jail them...Funny, but I always thought educators were supposed to have the best interests of the students at heart..What message are they sending to the kids and the world?..A message that privilege allows you to commit any crime we will take care of it...

Go get 'em AG Mike DeWine! Looks like there are plenty of dirty scumbags in the city of Steubenville who worked to coverup the Jane Doe rape.

I would like to analyze data included in a pdf file. The file contains information on characteristics of 16km grid cells for a specific study area. The file also includes a map displaying the grid. I know the coordinate system and datum that has been used to create this map.
I would like to create the exact same grid in QGIS as to merge the data from the pdf file with further geographical information on the study area. I am a total QGIS noob and I don't know if what I want to do is possible at all.
What I have done so far is: I copied, digitized and and georeferenced the map contained in the pdf. I then set the CRS according to the information I got from the pdf. I then tried to "reproduce" the grid with 16km cells using the QGIS vector grid tool.
Now, here's my problem: the side length I enter into the vector grid tool is in degrees not km. I have measured the length of the grids in degrees (using the QGis distance measurement tool). If I try to create the vector grid using the degree measure for the side length I get cells that are approx. the size of the original map at some parts of the map but not at others. Finally, even if I got a grid of the same size as the original, I am not quite sure how to adjust the location of the grid I created to the exact same location as the original one.
I hope that I have been able to explain my problem in an understandable way! I am somewhat lost and would be very grateful for any advise! Many thanks and best regards

A creature who is often misunderstood. A Chucky is often driven wild or nuts by the presence of a cowboys butt. A Chucky is usually kinda fat and plays call of duty. You can fing a Chucky hanging out at a rodeo or the wrangler store. To attract a Chucky you must have tight wranglers and chaps, it will also be benificial to have boots with spurs and a cowboy hat. Once you have attrackted a Chucky it would be wise to take it to a hoedown or even stay home and eat pudding while watching old western movies such as the wild bunch, high noon, and stagecoach.
Hey I think at guy hanging out with all those cowboys is a Chucky or dude I think that guy humping the wrangler rack is a Chucky

I use Linux and Mac OS X on a regular basis, and sometimes I have to use Windows. I need to use a flash drive on all three, and I need a filesystem that will work well on all of them. None of the ext's work on Mac or Windows, HFS+ doesn't work on Windows (or well on Linux), NTFS is read-only on Mac, and FAT sucks on all OSes. Is there a file system that would work reasonably well on all operating systems? I'd like it to work without drivers or additional installations, so it can be used on any computer.
UDF is a candidate. It works out-of-the-box on linux >= 2.6.31, Windows >= Vista, MacOS >= 9 and on many BSDs.
Note: UDF comes in different versions, which are not equally supported on all platforms, see Wikipedia - Compatibility.
UDF can be created on linux with the tool
Since you have cut it to the filesystems supported by OS X and Windows out of the box, I'm afraid the least common denominator is FAT32. exFAT might be an option if you can relax the requirement and accept using FUSE - it is patent encumbered and hence it isn't going to make it to kernel till 2029 or until Microsoft grants the patent on royalty-free basis, whichever happens first.
Without troubles, use FAT32. There is no other compatible possibility. Linux since version 2.6.xy has no more problems with NTFS, but Mac OS does...Maybe you could make more partitions at your flash, but this is actualy not great solution.
Other solution: Try to imagine you have 4GB flash memory. Split it to 2 partitions. 1) FAT32 with freeware portable applications to access all other FS types. 2) Universal partition, which can be whatever you want - NTFS, ReiserFS (if you want real security and encryption) or whatever. Thanks first partition of your flash memory, you can easily read/write from whatever OS, because of programms you have stored at your FAT32 partition of your flash memory.
Better solution: Forget using a flash drive. Use Dropbox or something through network. They are one of the simplest ways of sharing files between machines.
edit: Thank you for correction: let me write one of comments here: " the maximum size depends on the selected cluster size. The limits really are from 2TB to 16TB for cluster sizes 512B to 4KB for FAT32 (also mentioned on the wikipage)." That is right, excuse my mistake.
Thank you peterph

The Champions' Trophy made for the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships
Liberec 2009 was designed in the style of Czech cubism. The trophy consists of an elegant cubist column with a crystal globe (a symbol of the World Championships) at its peak. The blue chaton denotes the position
of the Czech Republic and at the same time represents the producer of the trophy, the Preciosa Company. Two variants were prepared. The victor's trophy consists of five stones. It is 32.5 cm high and has a total of 70 facets. The trophy for 2nd – 6th place consists of three stones. It is 21.5 cm high and has a total of 40 facets. Dimensions: 325 x 80 mm, 215 x 70 mm
Preciosa Figurky prepared the VIP gifts for the World Championships which were designated for the important individuals from international commercial and political life who were invited to this sports event. The
appearance of these gifts combines contemporary glass design with traditional Czech art.
As well as the gifts for the VIPs, further souvenir items were made of crystal with the Championships' official logo. Visitors to the World Championships were able to purchase some of these items as souvenirs.
The charity event in support of handicapped children which was held during the World Championships was a successful project. Preciosa Figurky manufactured machine cut stones with the logo of the World
Championships, from whose sale 90 CZK went to the Jedlička Institute in Liberec.

After a ride, usually about 15-30 minutes after a ride, I sometimes don't feel very good. I'll feel sleepy, lazy, lethargic or mentally foggy. It's not a physical tired. And often it doesn't take a great deal of riding to feel this way. For example, today I did about 15 miles and felt this way shortly afterwards.
I'm in pretty descent physical condition (I think), and I can ride 20-30 miles, at a steady 15-17 mph, without too much effort. But I'm really confused why I feel this way. I could/maybe should, see a doctor, but I thought I would check here first to see if anyone else experiences this.

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
I don't know whether you're trolling with this question or not, but I'm going to give you a straight answer anyway.
While I agree that this is not a word you want to use if you're trying to make a good impression on your mother-in-law, and should be avoided in many, many contexts, there are times when no other word will do. It is possibly the strongest and most useful intensifier in the English language for some situations.
In the right context, it can be very expressive. Crude and vulgar, yes — but sometimes that is exactly what's called for.
Try to imagine Pulp Fiction or The Big Lebowski or The Sopranos without that word. No, wait — just turn on AMC when those shows are on and see how censorship of that word (frigging or some other weak-assed substitute is crudely dubbed in in its place) absolutely destroys the impact of either film.
Consider this line from The Big Lebowski, the emotional climax in which The Dude blows up at his idiot/savant (OK, mainly idiot) buddy Walter Sobjchak:
Or these lines from Pulp Fiction [Vincent and Jules are cleaning the inside of the car which is covered in blood]:
Hell, even Jon Stewart uses the word knowing it will get bleeped. Sometimes, in adult conversations about adult topics, for a particular kind of emphasis it is the exact word you need and no substitute even comes close.
The NOAD reports that:
In the sentence you wrote, I will understand the word to be used to give emphasis.
The word is vulgar, and it is not used in a formal context.
My dictionary (Collins) has it as taboo, and it is best avoided in any context. Otherwise, you will initially achieve the desired effect (which is to draw attention) but ultimately everyone will join in and the office/school/house will start to sound like a barrack-room.
The only formal article in which it should appear is one discussing swearing.

If I select Radiance or Ambiance in the menu show in the following picture, my whole theme does not change. It only changes the title bar.
How can I resolve this problem? Or how can I reset the theme to default?
Install dconf-editor if you don't have it, and then go to
and check "active." One thing I've also noticed when this happens is that the media keys stop working: enable org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media keys. There also might be some more plugins you should enable.
Problem cause: when unity-greeter is run (by the lightdm --test-mode command in my case), it disables a lot of settings-daemon plugins that have to be manually reenabled.
I got all of my info from this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1861476
Removing the file ~/.config/dconf/user solves the problem.
PS: To reconstruct the problem I made the following steps: change in the file /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf the line
and after saving run the command
That was all I modified yesterday. Now if you restart your session with CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE and login again, your theme is ugly (like mine on the screen shot in my question). Can anyone verify this?

So, I added it to the 'startup items' and the problem was solved. Everything works fine now.
Basically, here's what happened:
When you ran Unity Greeter, it started to really freak out, because its not supposed to be run as a normal user (although it is possible, I'll get into that in a moment).
To fix it, you need to go into dconf-editor (install the

Have you tried logging out/logging back in? Typically on my install the theme switch does not complete until I do this.
It is curious that some of your desktop seems to revert back to the default GNOME theme, though.
Also, if this does not work, you may also want to try a reboot.
I faced the same problem. After lots of search I came to know that gtk 3.4.2 was the root of the problem. I installed it for my programming purposes. Even the above solutions were not working in my system. So I just uninstalled it and it started working just fine.
I ran into a similar problem on Ubuntu 14.04. I was unable to change my theme after restarting my computer. I could hack around the issue by logging out and logging back in. I noticed this problem shortly after installing Ubuntu and installing some programs and drivers.
Resetting unity solved the problem for me. I used the unity-tweak-tool to do this as unity --reset is no longer allowed:
Edit The problem is back, this did not fix anything.
Try running:
and then replacing the line:
You might need to increase the sleep number. I got this from webupd8.
I had the same issue in Ubuntu 13.04. I just installed the gnome-tweak-tool and changed the current theme under theme menu. It solved this.

Confused Karl Rove Falsely Accuses Obama Of Having 'A Little Bit Of Confusion' About Stimulus Jobs Numbers
One year ago today, President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. To mark the anniversary, Vice President Joe Biden released a report to the president on the implementation of the stimulus bill, announcing that "the work that you set us out to do a year ago is going well." In remarks today, President Obama declared that "so far, the Recovery Act is responsible for the jobs of about 2 million Americans who would otherwise be unemployed."
On Fox News today, former Bush adviser Karl Rove claimed that Obama had the job numbers wrong, citing the front page of Recovery.gov:
ROVE: Look, I'm a little confused. We just heard the President say that 2 million jobs have been created or saved. And yet, if you go to the White House website, the Recovery.org [sic], and take a look at it, it says 595,263 jobs have been created or saved. So, the President's got a little bit of confusion going on with his own set of numbers.
Later in the interview, Rove asserted that the stimulus legislation hadn't created a single job. "There's a reason why the CBS/New York Times poll said that six percent of Americans said the stimulus bill didn't create any jobs. It's because it hasn't," said Rove. Watch it:
In his effort to mislead Fox's viewers about the effectiveness of the stimulus bill, Rove completely misrepresented the numbers on Recovery.gov. The 595,263 jobs that Rove referred to only includes recovery funded jobs reported by recipients between Oct. 1, 2009 and Dec. 31, 2009:
In fact, as the New York Times David Leonhardt reports today, "the best-known economic research firms" — IHS Global Insight, Macroeconomic Advisers, and Moody's Economy.com — "all estimate that the bill has added 1.6 million to 1.8 million jobs so far and that its ultimate impact will be roughly 2.5 million jobs." The Congressional Budget Office projects that Recovery Act saved or created between 800,000 and 2.4 million jobs.
"It prevented things from getting much worse than they otherwise would have been," Global Insight chief economist Nariman Behravesh told Leonhardt. "I think everyone would have to acknowledge that's a good thing." Everyone that is, except Karl Rove and other conservative partisans who claim the stimulus has "failed."

Hate means you can't seem to say 'I was wrong'
Regretting a blunder — whether a moral lapse or the color of the den carpet — speaks to a pliancy of temperament, a recognition of one's own fallibility.
All of which brings me to Nakoula Basseley Nakoula.
You remember the California native with the queer name? He's the shady character behind the much-maligned film "Innocence of Muslims." That's the YouTube video the Obama administration impetuously blamed for the Sept. 11 attack on the American diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador. It now appears that something far more slippery was afoot in Benghazi, but the video undeniably led to protests in Yemen, Morocco, Iran, Tunisia, Sudan, Lebanon, Indonesia and Malaysia.
It was crudely produced, deliberately inflammatory, fanatical and hateful, "a bigoted piece of poison calculated to inflame the Muslim world," in the words of the Guardian's Peter Bradshaw.
The mayhem that it provoked might lead a more reflective man to lament his decision to broadcast his beliefs that the Prophet Muhammad was a brutish, bloodthirsty sex-fiend.
Not Nakoula.
In an interview with The New York Times published Monday, Nakoula not only said he would not back down from the video, but that his invectives against Islam hadn't gone far enough.
"I thought, before I wrote this script that I should burn myself in a public square to let the American people and the people of the world know this message that I believe in."
Well, there was a missed opportunity.
Nakoula has spent two months in prison for violating his supervised release on a fraud conviction, one of a number of freakishly inventive crimes that have sent this Egyptian-born sham artist to the slammer. On Wednesday, a Cairo court sentenced Nakoula and six others to death for "insulting the Islamic religion," a measure of how seriously the Islamic world takes slurs of its faith.
Outside of his abortive film career, Nakoula also has a knack for drug-dealing, name-changing and claiming membership on the 1984 Olympic Egyptian soccer team, which, surprisingly, has no record of him. What is clear is that Nakoula, a Coptic Christian, has a higher-than-average helping of venom in his veins, which he is delighted to decant all over the Internet.
Within the web of fantasy Nakoula has woven in his 55 years, one indisputable constant emerges. He has loathed Muslims almost since he could utter the word. The 2009 massacre at Fort Hood, Texas, he said, sent him over the edge. "I became even more upset and enraged," he told the newspaper. Well, so did plenty of others. Hate metastasizes, particularly when its target is so intimately felt.
I thought about Nakoula in the context of the decision of a friend to leave the Christian faith. Religion, he decided, had done nothing but instigate centuries-worth of violence, pitting intransigence against intransigence.
He was certainly not the first to jettison religion because of its association with violence, but his apostasy disappointed me. As a Catholic I'm certainly well aware of the carnage wrought by religion, from the Crusades, through the Inquisition, to the more recent strife in Northern Ireland.
"We forgive and we ask forgiveness," Pope John Paul II said in 2000. "We are asking pardon for the divisions among Christians, for the use of violence that some have committed in the service of truth, and for attitudes of mistrust and hostility assumed toward followers of other religions."
It was welcome penitence for many, but 1,000 years too late for some. Does it take that long to regret so blatant a crime? What hope does that leave Nakoula and those like him? Can we really afford to indulge so long a germination period for remorse? Is it an ability to express remorse that we need to learn, or more tolerance for views that differ from ours?
Clearly, it is the latter. Two years ago, I used this space to criticize the building of an Islamic center at ground zero. Fearful of the center's potential to spark violence, I maintained that it belonged elsewhere. In the wake of Nakoula's ugly obduracy, I regret that position. I now believe we need such a presence.
We will never get anywhere pretending away serious differences of faith. It is only by understanding our distinctions that we can hope to recognize that an assault against one faith wounds us all.

Coach K Conference
The Duke Fuqua School of Business just posted Jim Whitehurst's presentation from their Coach K Leadership Conference entitled "Competing as a 21st Century Enterprise Among 20th Century Giants." You can watch it here.
I spent two days this week at the Coach K Leadership Conference at Duke. It's always good to get above the trees for a few days, and this experience was exactly that kind of opportunity. Jonathan Opp did a nice summary post on the conference here and you can see the live Twitter stream here.

The upper Banach density of a subset $A\subset\mathbb N$ is defined $$d^*(A)=\limsup_{M-N\to\infty}\frac{|A\cap[M,M+1,\cdots,N]|}{M-N}$$ also the the upper density and lower density of a set $A$ is defined as following respectively $$\bar{d}(A)=\limsup_{n\to\infty}\frac{|A\cap[1,\cdots,n]|}{n}$$ $$\underline{d}(A)=\liminf_{n\to\infty}\frac{|A\cap[1,\cdots,n]|}{n}.$$ It is known that if $d^\ast(A)\gt 0$, then $A-A$ is $\Delta^*$. It means that $A-A$ has non-empty intersection with difference set of any sequence.
Now I want to know that Is there any subset $A\subset\mathbb N$ such that $\bar{d}(A-A)=1$?

circular process
Well, the Berroco pattern books have hit the shelves. A few months ago, I was able to document the birthing process of one design, Prospera from Booklet #277 Peruvia, and now I can start talking about it.
The story starts with this photo of a store window in Florence:
As you can see, it's not a brilliant photo, not a piece of art, but a reminder of an idea. The sweater in the photo has a crocheted medallion inserted into a knitted garment. I started working on my version. Mine may look crocheted, but it's totally knit.
I thought this was going to be the RS:
Then, I turned the piece over:
Some themes seem to repeat. Here's a wooden medallian I carved a few years back:

That medallion reminds me strongly of the moulds used to make corzetti, a traditional apsta of eastern Liguria, that is supposed to be boiled until al dente in water where had been boiling some diced potatoes and some beans, then served with pesto. The pasta medallions are produced pressing small bits of dough between moulds that traditionally had family-specific decorations.June 20, 2008

Bone Meal is produced from defatted, dried animal bones that are ground to a fine powder. It is used as a mineral supplement and is high in calcium and phosphorus. Today there are many safer and better forms of calcium supplements on the market.
Bone meal is used supplementally as a source of calcium, phosphorus and trace elements.
Calcium makes up the mineral content of bones and teeth. It is necessary for muscle contraction, nerve transmission, blood clotting, hormone synthesis, and a host of other functions. Calcium also improves the stability of cell membranes and aids in the passage of nutrients and other substances in and out of cells.
Phosphorus, the other major component of bone meal, is necessary for cell growth, as well as bone and tooth formation. It is also necessary for heart muscle contraction and proper kidney function.
The recommended dietary allowance of calcium (not bone meal itself) for adults under 50 is 1,000 mg, and 1,200 mg for females over 50 and men over 70.
The recommended daily intake of calcium for children ages 4 to 8 is 1,000 mg, and 1,300 mg for children ages 9 to 18 years of age.
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding may be prescribed additional calcium but should consult a physician before taking any dietary supplements.
Some of the trace elements contained in bone meal can also be beneficial. However, concerns about bone meal's high lead content and possible elevated mercury levels raise questions about using bone meal as a supplement. Typical lead content in bone meal is significantly higher than that in refined calcium carbonate, which is a laboratory-processed calcium.
An additional concern is the possible transmission of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), or "mad cow disease." Bone meal and other animal byproducts that have been used as animal feed or supplements have been shown to transmit BSE. The type of processing determines whether the infectious agent is present. No studies are currently available that determine the safety of bone meal for human consumption.
There are no known significant food or drug interactions associated with bone meal.

6 Happy Endings That Accidentally Screwed The Movie's Hero
#3. Jack Black's Teacher in School of Rock Will Have Some Legal Trouble
In School of Rock, Jack Black plays every Jack Black character ever. This time he's Dewey, a struggling musician who impersonates his substitute teacher roommate to make some extra cash. Struck by one of his Jack Black trademark crazy schemes, he assembles a bunch of fifth graders into a rock group that he can use to win a band competition.
Also it stars Jack Black.
The Ending:
Of course, the newly formed kid band enters the contest and wins. As the credits roll, the film implies that Jack Black's rock music program becomes a permanent feature at the school.
But After the Movie's Over ...
Either Dewey had one hell of a lawyer, or word of what he did hadn't reached the parents yet.
"How many years in prison? Just for kidnapping a few kids? This country is going straight to hell."
In the course of his wacky adventure, Dewey has unwittingly committed so many crimes that the Supreme Court will probably be naming new laws after him. To understand the shit that's about to come down on his head, try impersonating a teacher in order to kidnap a busload of children and see how well that goes. And that's after he's committed identity theft, which is a Class A misdemeanor. And we're not even going to get into the scene where he sexually harasses three students by assigning them the band role of "groupies," which we're pretty sure they told their parents about because those particular students never appear in the movie again.
"Make sure you know where the drugs are, and always accept the invites to the party bus."
But Dewey also manages to hijack a class of students for an entire semester, teaching them nothing and managing to take them away from the school grounds under false pretenses. If he'd had more nefarious motives, it'd be less a scandal and more a tragedy. Given society's obsession with protecting the children, it's likely going to be a long time before Dewey sees the sun again. But then again, prison doesn't charge rent, so it really would solve his problem in a sense.
"Wheeee! This is the last time I'll ever touch a woman!"
#2. The Family in Cape Fear Apparently Murdered an Innocent Man
Max Cady (Robert De Niro) is paroled from prison after 14 years and seeks revenge on his former lawyer, Sam Bowden (Nick Nolte), who buried evidence that could have exonerated him. Acting reasonably, Cady begins raping and murdering everyone in Sam's life and framing him for the crimes, finally confronting the family on a houseboat ...
The Ending:
... at which point Sam manages to handcuff Cady to the boat while it sinks. Problem solved!
"I bet if I spout off a cool one-liner, this will seem less like murder."
But After the Movie's Over ...
You might be asking, why didn't Sam just call the cops instead of letting this psychopath stalk him? Well, that's the problem. De Niro's character was something of an evil genius, and he meticulously figured out how to ruin Sam's life without ever getting caught. As far as the world knows, Cady is completely innocent right up until he drowns.
"Innocent" is not the same as "mentally stable."
In other words, it looks like Cady is just the last victim in Sam's murder spree. Yes, even Cady's murders may end up getting pinned on Sam, because he was present at -- and dumb enough to put his hands all over -- the crime scenes. One piece of evidence that could be used against Cady -- his gun -- also ends up at the bottom of the river. We're not reading too much into the plot here, either -- Sam's cop friend pointedly tells him that he fled a crime scene and he is a suspect in these murders.
And remember, the whole reason Cady was after Sam was that Sam had suppressed evidence in Cady's original case. He even admitted it. So, from an outside perspective, it sure looks like Sam Bowden had some sort of vendetta against Cady, instead of vice versa.
"Yeah, turns out that I am a really terrible lawyer."
At the film's climax, Sam is already under investigation after he was recorded threatening Cady and confessing to hiring men to attack him outside his apartment. Meanwhile, they just can't pin anything on Max Cady, and given the suppressed evidence, nobody can even be sure he's ever committed a crime in his life.
If you're a reasonable detective, it sure looks like Sam and his family framed an innocent man, took him out onto their houseboat and murdered the shit out of him.
"Missing? No, I swear I didn't set him on fire, handcuff him to my boat and leave him to drown."
#1. Will Ferrell's Character in Stranger Than Fiction Is Still a Writer's Puppet
Will Ferrell, in a heroic attempt at serious acting, discovers that he is actually a fictional character in a novel that someone else is writing. Or maybe he's a real person who, due to some black magic, is living out a life a particular author has written for him. Either way, he finds himself in a race against time to find the author before she can kill him off at the end of the book.
"If only she'd killed me off before Bewitched."
The Ending:
Ferrell eventually tracks down the author because it turns out they live in the same universe somehow. He pleads his sentence down from a tragic death to a mere brutal injury (even though Ferrell admits the book is better if he dies). The author changes the book, and Ferrell lives happily ever after.
"Also, hookers. Stick some hookers in there."
But After the Movie's Over ...
Well, except for that whole "I'm living a fictional life created by a stranger" thing. So now that the novel is over, what's next? Does he have free will, or is he just acting out what the writer wants? The best case scenario is that the rest of his life is going to be meaningless. The worst case is that he may simply cease to exist. Even though he's scored Maggie Gyllenhaal, he's going to face the mother of all existential crises one way or the other.
"And then suddenly she stopped shouting and had sex with him. This made Harold happy."
But more than that, the central conflict of the author's character is that killing off Ferrell is necessary for her novel to make sense. By sparing his life, she's settling for a shitty book in exchange for assuaging her guilt about killing a guy who is caught in some reality/fiction limbo. What happens when her editor rightly informs her that she should reconsider her ending?
"You're going to have to play The Sims like every other reclusive control freak."
Let's not forget that she wasn't exactly keen on letting him live, even after she met him. Then again, we're never really sure if she still has the power to edit his life after the book is done, or whether Ferrell's character is even real. Now that we think about it, it's kind of a silly movie.

The sheer volume of things that are measured in terms of the classic VW Beetle is staggering. From whale hearts to heavy artillery, one object is used more often than any other to give a perspective of size and weight. The Beetle's role as a standard unit of measurement is an unsung achievement. Let's take care of that.
"E. coli … moves its whole length in two nanoseconds. If it were the size of a Volkswagen, it would be going four times the speed of light."
The classic VW Bug, with its nearly immutable design, has been driven all over the world and all over the movies for the better part of a century. You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who couldn't pick its shape out of a lineup or, more realistically, a weedy Southern California backyard.
So its not surprising the Bug, so imbedded in our culture, is an object of reference. If you need to describe something about size of a Volkswagen to someone who can't see it, well, you know they're going know size of the Bug. What's odd is how the VW absolutely eclipses all other objects of comparison.
Sure, things are judged the size of a Buick or a 747, and maybe, for bonus points, your math teacher asked how many basketballs or dollar bills put end to end you need to reach this or that. It's true Quarter Pounders and other McDonald's menu items are forever being stacked to the moon. But these things don't compete with the massive number or variety of comparisons made to the VW.
It's the measure of things. It is the ruler itself.
Most other objects are limited in their comparative function. For example, Mack trucks are exclusively used to describe objects we are to think of as large. But Volkswagens are used to describe things as too small and too large and, more importantly, as they really are.
As such, science writers make the most use of the vehicle, deeming everything in or from space, made or conceived by man or God to be about the size of a Bug. The VW-size Mars Global Surveyor looked down at the planet with cameras capable of resolving VW-size objects such as the "nearly" VW-size Spirit and Opportunity, which themselves captured images of VW-size rocks in their travels.
For a time, you could experience the thrill of the VW-size International Space Station capsule as projected by the advanced VW-size IMAX projector.
Beloved Jalopnik writer and Bug owner Jason Torchinsky once suggested to me that so many spacecraft share the VW size because of the commonality of the delivery system — the cargo bays of the launch craft are similar in dimension. Why the cargo bays would be the size of a Volkswagen he didn't explain.
It doesn't matter. As seen in the table, people writing on every topic compare their subjects to the Volkswagen. The comparisons are pervasive, diverse, and at times inappropriate, useless, and forced — leading to the impression that many writers feel the examination of a subject would be incomplete without a Bug comparison.
When divisibility doesn't work, writers switch to weight to find equilibrium with the Bug:
"Each of the [USS Wisconsin's] dozen 16-inch/50 caliber guns can fire a 1,900-pound projectile, equivalent to the weight of a VW Beetle, 23 nautical miles."
These weight comparisons prove less common, presumably because a limited number of people can heft the weight of a Beetle in their head, as you would, say, a bowling ball.
So why the persistent need to describe objects in Bug-terms? Is it the fan-boyish love of the brand (possibly found more prominently in free-spirited "writer types")? Is it just the iconic stature of the car? Is it the snowballing popularity of the metaphor itself?
Maybe it's all of these. Or maybe something more is going on. Perhaps we're missing a unit of measure. Maybe the size in question is particularly useful for illustration and classification— an expression of the Goldilocks Principle as applied to measurement. The Bug is not too big or small. It's just right. It filled a descriptive void.
Infinitely more important than these everyday descriptive uses would be the advances likely to occur in serious thought and science. Philosophers suggest that without the vocabulary to express an idea, we have a difficult time even conceiving of that idea. Human development may have been hamstrung due of the lack of the vw. Since the Bug's inception in 1938 and its de facto but still limited use as a measure, the pace of human invention has accelerated. If the vw was used universally, who knows what we can achieve?Selection of Things "The Size of a Volkswagen"

You can "fail to find" a card, but only while explicitly searching someone's library or hand. In the case of Inquisition of Kozilek, you are not "searching" the zone, so you must choose a card if a valid choice is available.
Per the comp rules, "fail to find" is specific to searching a hidden zone:
While the hand is still considered a hidden zone even when it is revealed (CR 400.2: "Library and hand are hidden zones, even if all the cards in one such zone happen to be revealed"), Inquisition of Kozilek's instructions say to choose a card from it, not search for one. Thus, you must follow the normal rules: which is to carry out as much of the actions as possible.

Pregnancy: Interviewing Your Doctor
In This Article:
The doctor's experienceWhat Questions Should I Ask?
Here we list some questions to ask the doctor when interviewing him, and then give you how the doctor should (or should not) answer the questions.
After Dr. John responds (in italics) how he would answer the question with his patients, then he tells you what you should look for in the responses of your doctors.
1. How long have you been delivering babies?
My response is that I have been delivering babies for over 10 years.
However, there is no magic number here. Obviously, a doctor who has been practicing three years will probably have fewer babies delivered than one who has practiced 20 years. But again, that is not always the case. For example, you may have a doctor who only delivers a few babies a year vs. one who delivers all the time. On the positive side, the doctor who has only delivered a few will probably spend more time with you. On the negative side, he probably hasn't seen as many complications as a doctor who delivers more frequently. This is a subjective answer, depending on what you're looking for. My suggestion is that you look for someone who has the experience that you're comfortable with as a patient. You want to make sure that the doctor you're entrusting your pregnancy to has the right amount of experience to handle your case.
2. How many babies have you delivered?
Personally, I have delivered over 800 babies, but I worked at a military hospital where I saw a lot of patients.
Also, keep in mind that while a new doctor may not have delivered as many babies in her practice, she may have delivered quite a few as a resident. Again, this answer is similar to the one above. Not an exact number, but someone who has delivered 100 babies or more probably has some experience, rather than someone who has delivered fewer than 10. What is your comfort zone, i.e., the answer that gives you comfort? It's subjective and differs from one patient to another. Basically, what you want is a doctor who has had some experience and can handle problems with confidence and competence.
3. Do you have a preference for obstetrics or gynecology?
In my case, I like both I like a balance. I like taking care of pregnant women and delivering babies, and I also enjoy women's health care in general.
Usually, OB/GYNs do have their preferences. Often, a doctor will decide to just pursue gynecological patients after a stint at delivery. Delivering babies at all hours does impede on a doctor's home life, so there is a high burnout rate. Also, if a doctor chooses a specialty such as high-risk OB, she probably likes it more.
Obviously, some OB/GYNs have a good balance in their practice and enjoy covering both areas. But there are some doctors who would rather do more gynecology than obstetrics. Asking the question, depending on the answer you receive, may let you know if the doctor is someone you want to follow your pregnancy. Another good reason is that if you want to have more children and you find out that your doctor is getting out of delivery soon, you might want to start with another doctor who will last through all your pregnancies.
4. What percentage of your deliveries is C-section?
My percentage of C-sections is probably around 18%.
This question should be answered with a percentage figure because you will probably not get exact numbers. In the U. S. we are seeing an increasing trend for babies to be delivered by C-section. That figure will probably get higher. Currently, the average number of C-sections is 22 24% in the U.S.
If your doctor quotes a higher percentage for C-sections or complications, it may not mean that he has a preference for doing that surgery, but rather that he has more high-risk patients. However, if your doctor follows relatively uncomplicated patients in his practice and has a higher percentage rate than the national average, you might want to follow up your question with "why."
What you want to find out is if your doctor is going to recommend a C-section for you in circumstances that are equal with another doctor who might choose to do a vaginal delivery. In general, C-sections carry more risk for the patient and baby; however, there are times when it is necessary and the risks of a C-section are outweighed by the risks of a vaginal delivery.

Can I play a Blue Ray DVD in my regular DVD player?
I guess what I am asking is will I be wasting my money on a Blue Ray movie if I don't have a Blue Ray DVD player?
I can't justify buying a Blue Ray DVD player until my existing one breaks.
13 Answers answer
A DVD player will not play Blu-Ray discs.
Most Blu-Ray players will play Blu-Ray's and DVD's, but the reverse is not true for DVD players. Otherwise why would anyone want to purchase a Blu-Ray player?
@hackman2007: OK thanks - I didn't know there would be an issue. This helps a lot.
Actually blu-ray players are not that expensive anymore. Here is a refurbed one from Best Buy on-sale for $39. Unfortunately it's sold out online but keep your eyes open and you should be able to find one for less than $50. Especially if you settle for a base model with no wifi capability.
@jimmyd103: Thanks, I'll check it out.
Your DVD player will NOT be able to play Blu-Ray movies.
Blu-Ray discs are read with a different physical laser (one more toward the "blue" end of the visible spectrum as opposed to the older "red" lasers used for DVDs). In almost every other regard, Blu-Ray discs are the same as DVDs, but due to using a laser with a shorter wavelength (hence the color shift), disc makers are able to encode more data in the same space.
As far as I'm concerned, a PS3 is still the best Blu-Ray player out there (and it probably will be for some time).
I knew there would be someone to mention the PS3 as a Blu-ray player. With Blu-ray players now less than a quarter of the price of the PS3, there's really no reason to get a PS3 to just play Blu-Ray movies (especially at the price of $39.99). The cheapest Blu-ray player will look and sound just as good as the PS3.
No, you can not. i tryed that and it didn't work out. IM LOOKINJG FOR ONE THOUGH!!!!
Ha, there is no such thing as a blu-ray DVD. DVD is the brand name from Toshiba for their laser disc technology. Blu-ray is the brand name from Sony for their laser disc technology.
There are blu-ray discs and there are DVDs. Saying that you have a blu-ray DVD for sale is like saying I have a Pepsi Coke for sale. Both are brand names.
I don't know, but maybe you can tell me if I can play my 8 track tape in my audio cassette player?
i bout a ps4 cause it had a blue ray player and it plays great games all in one
Oh, thanks for letting us know, Captain Obvious.
BTW, this is a three year old post from 2012.

The stroller is perhaps the most crucial piece of equipment you will buy as a parent of multiples. Unless you plan to remain confined to your home until your children can walk themselves to school, you will need a good stroller to maneuver them through the world. Many families find that their stroller remains a convenient and safe method of transportation for several years, so it is worth investing in a quality product that will withstand some wear and tear. Think of it as a vehicle for your babies and give your purchase as much consideration as you would if you were buying a family car.
Ask any parent of twins about their stroller, and they'll likely give you a passionate response as to why their model is the best choice available. However, there is no one perfect stroller; if there was, everyone would own it! Your perfect stroller is the one that meets your family's needs. It may be that there isn't a single stroller that fits your requirements, and you'll want to consider purchasing more than one for different types of outings.
There are two basic styles of strollers. Tandem, or stadium seating, strollers have seats arranged in a straight line, with one behind the other. The seats may both face forward or face each other. Side-by-side strollers, as their name implies, feature two adjacent seats. Each style has advantages and disadvantages, and according to informal polls, parents are pretty evenly split in their preferences.
Tandem double strollers are more readily available because they aren't exclusively used for twins. Most models are actually designed for two singleton siblings. One seat may be a bit roomier or positioned higher to accommodate a toddler or preschool-aged child, while the other space is made for a smaller infant. Because they appeal to a broader market, they are more likely to come with handy accessories such as sunshades, drink holders, and snack trays.
Tandems are generally longer and more slender than side-by-side models. For this reason, some people find them easier to maneuver through narrow spaces, such as shopping center aisles and doorways. But there are also aspects of tandem strollers that don't work well with twins. In many models one of the seats, designed for an older child, does not fully recline. Until your babies' neck muscles develop sufficiently to hold their heads up, they need support. An upright seat is useless with younger infants and napping babies.
Many parents of twins rave about the new travel system of strollers that function in combination with infant carrier/car seats. Simply snap the seats into the stroller base and wheel your babies away. This convenient system eliminates the hassle of buckling and unbuckling-and buckling and unbuckling again—as you transfer your babies from the house to the car to the stroller and back.
Side-by-side strollers are a more traditional type of twin stroller. They operate most efficiently with two children of equal weight, and provide adequate leg- and headroom for both as they grow. One distinct advantage of the side-by-side style is that it positions both children with an equal viewpoint, which is the arrangement most twins seem to prefer.
Side-by-sides are wider than tandems, but have a shallower profile. That gives the stroller pusher more control and puts the babies in a closer arm's reach. Unfortunately many parents find their width hard to deal with in crowded or constricted locations, or when they need to go through single doorways or down narrow passageways.
Manufacturers have been slow to equip side-by-side models with some of the fancy features consumers expect. Storage baskets, bumpers, and sunshades are becoming more standard, but as of yet, there is not a side-by-side product that accommodates the handy travel system feature that works in conjunction with car seat/infant carriers.
One other potential problem to consider with side-by-side models: They put your twins in full view for the whole world to see. There is no chance of being anonymous! Twins, especially baby twins, attract a lot of attention when you take them out in public. It feels like everyone (especially perfect strangers) wants to look at them, compare their characteristics, interrogate their parents, and relate their own family's history of twinning.
If you think that being the center of attention will bother you, minimize it by sticking with a tandem-style stroller. They are more efficient at keeping the babies out of the public eye.
With advantages and disadvantages to both kinds of strollers, how can you possibly decide what you need? Should you just get two? Sounds like you've already adopted a multiple mindset! While that's often an effective solution to problems faced by parents of twins, it's not necessarily the answer when it comes to strollers. Consider the following when making your decision:
Double Decker Stroller, Inc., a company started by a mom of multiples, makes an innovative stroller frame that accommodates infant carriers. The stroller is available in double and triple models. However, such products have a limited lifetime; when your babies outgrow the infant carriers (at 20 pounds or about one year of age), you'll need another stroller.
If you're expecting triplets or more, your stroller options are more limited, and more costly. You'll have to carefully evaluate how you'll utilize the equipment, and anticipate whether the investment is worthwhile. You may wish to consider a combination of single and double strollers or a combination of strollers and other types of carriers, such as a sling or backpack.
Some stroller manufacturers do offer a triplet model, such as the Baby Jogger Triple Totter. This side-by-side model is best for open, outdoor spaces, with three seats that can also accommodate three children of different sizes. The Peg Perego Triplette offers stadium seating in a durable frame and fully reclining seats. Each of these products will set you back about $500 if purchased new.
Custom-made strollers from Runabout are popular with parents of higher order multiples for their durability and value-added features. They can accommodate up to five children, including infants over ten pounds, with fully adjustable seats and a lightweight frame. They are individually made in the United States, are difficult to locate, and can retail for more than $1,000 for a quintuplet version, but they have excellent resale value and are very much in demand within the multiples community.

Have you ever wondered how everyone creates trainers for games that allow you to get infinite ammo, health, weapons, money, and whatever else the game supports? What they do is find the memory addresses of that feature and put it into the program. Im going to show you how to get these in Call of Duty Black Ops Zombie mode. If you ever decide to get more advanced with memory editing, you should look into Reverse Engineering. A couple tools that are extremely useful for this is OllyDBG and IDA Pro Disassembler.
You really dont need to have a background in game hacking to use this. This was made for beginners to understanding game hacking. Hopefully this article will inspire others to expand their knowledge and dive into reverse engineering!! Also youll need to know whenever the releases a new patch or version update, youll have to find the new static pointers all over again. Thats just the way it works. Whenever something is changed in a program and is recompiled, memory addresses get reassigned.
- DLC Down Loadable Content. This is usually map packs or game extensions. A lot of game developers started using steam since steam already has a DLC platform
- Pointer - Points to the current address. This changes when whenever you restart your game. This shows up as black text in the address window.
- Static Pointer This is the variable that points the memory address that never changes. Static pointers show up in the address window as green. These pointers never change unless a patch or newer version is released.
- VAC Valve Anti Cheat. This program is used by various games to scan your files for possible hacks. Most common file formats that are scanned are .exe and .dll, however it is likely to scan other file formats based on the game.
Tools required
I will be using Cheat Engine to demonstrate this hack. You can use whatever program you want that allows you to edit memory addresses. I also use MHS(Memory Hacking Software) developed by L.Spiro a lot. It offers a lot of features and scripts.
Use this information at your own risk. Neither I nor go4expert.com take any responsibility if you get your account banned, or somehow mess up your game and/or computer. If you follow the steps exactly there shouldnt be any problems. But do know people have been VAC banned for game hacking. I have been doing this for a long time now and never been banned, but it is possible.
Before we can start our fun, Ill explain to you some of the important parts of the Cheat Engine GUI.
This can be a little disconcerting at first, but once you play around with it and get to know the features and windows, it will become a breeze. Now I will explain some of the layout. I have labeled some of the most commonly used parts of this program, however we will not use all of them
On the top left side of the program youll see a computer icon with a green bar flashing around it. You click this icon to select the process you want to attach to, the process in this case being the game were about to have some fun with. Alternately you can also click on the Process and select the process from there if you prefer. Now onto the numbers
- This is the address window where all our scans will show up. Whenever you do a search using the number 4 box, it populates the address window.
- These are the buttons we use to conduct ours scans. The first button is labeled First Scan. Once you click this, the text will change to Next Scan. You will continue to use this button until you find your address and are ready to start a new scan. While using this button, it will scan whatever is in the address window instead of repeatedly scanning the entire process. The 2nd button that is labeled Next Scan in the picture will change to New Scan when you conduct your first search. You will use this button when you have completed your current search and are ready to begin a new one.
- Undo scan. This button allows you to undo the most current scan you did. This is useful for when you make a mistake. You can only go back once during a scan though so be careful.
- This is the text box you will use to define your search. For example if youre looking for your health, default is usually 100 for most games, you would type 100 in the textbox then click First Scan which would then populate in the address window. *Note the Hex checkbox to the left of the textbox. You would use this when your wanting to scan a specific address. This is used when youre getting into finding static pointers which will not be discussed in this article, but I do encourage you to learn more about it and the other features of this program.
- Scan type lets you define how you want to find your information. The default is exact value. So if you know what the value is your looking for you would use this. The other features from the drop down menu are:
- Bigger than This option lets you scan all values within the process that is bigger than the value you specified in the textbox (#4).
- Smaller Than Just the opposite of the Bigger than feature
- Value Between Scan values in-between two specified values
- Unknown initial value You use this scan when you dont know your value. This is often used in game hacking when youre looking for the addresses for running speed, geographical location, and other options in the game that dont show numeric value.
- 6. This is the value type were looking for. There are several types, but were going to leave it at 4 bytes for this article.
- 7. When you know the address, you will use this button to add it manually. This is used for more advanced game hacking and will not be used in this article.
- 8. When you find the address youre looking for, you scan double click it in the address window to bring it down to this window to start changing the values. This window has 5 sections to it: Active, Description, Address, Type, and Value. The Active part is where it allows you to freeze the value, thus unchanging the value. This is what we want for infinite ammo with no reload. The description part is where you describe the address so you can remember what it does. Address and type we wont be messing with, and Value is where we can redefine our value giving us whatever we want!!
First thing you need to do is start the game you want to mess around with. Im going to point out right now this is only for client side hacking. Client side hacking is the process (the game were going to mess with) that is running on your computer. Most online games hold their values server side, which we cannot modify. Our hack for this game, however, will work with zombies online because when youre playing zombies online youre running the server from your computer, thus allowing you to modify all the values. So for this to work, you have to host the game. It will also be easier to run the game in window mode if the game has the option, if it doesnt just use alt+tab to cycle through your active windows. Ok so now our game is open. Start up Cheat Engine, click on the computer icon with the green flashing border around it and select the game, in this case its BlackOps.exe. Now that the program is attached to the process, all the buttons become clickable and we can type in the textboxes. The first part Im going to show you is how to get more money in black ops zombies.
When we start the game, our money (point value) is 500. So the first value were going to scan is going to be 500.
Notice that the first scan found 5,486 addresses with this value. Obviously we need to dwindle this down a bit. So what you need to do is change the value in game either by killing zombies, boarding up windows, buying perks, or opening up new areas. Once your money value has changed type the new value into the textbox and press the Next Scan button.
Oh look, my next value that I scanned was 660 and it dropped it down to 72 found in the address window. Now were a lot closer. Notice the top 2 addresses are green, which indicates these are static addresses (which we want). I know that the top address (01C079C8) is actually the address Im looking for, but if youre not sure change the value in game again and look back at that same address. When the value changes in game it will also change in the address window. If its the correct address it will have your current money value. Now to ensure that was the address I shot a few more zombies which change my value to 1180.
Notice though the address is still the same (01C079C8). That means we have our pointer, in this case being the static pointer. Double click it and watch it appear in the lower window. Now we just double click the value portion and change the value to whatever we want.
I apologize I did not take a screen shot of the program after I double clicked it and put it into the bottom window before moving on to finding the ammo count. The next Cheat Engine screenshot shows both though.
Since we have the same address that changed in the address window that matches our points in game, we know this our address for the points, or money. Since this is also green, we know its a static pointer and can save this table and load it up later without having to do these scans again.
Were going to do this just like we did with getting the infinite money. Once you find your ammo count were going to do a scan for that value. In my case with the above screen shot, my ammo count is 8. If you want to make it more interesting and want to have the speed cola perk be useful, you can scan for the overall ammo count. In my screenshot above it would be 18. This means you would have to reload thus using the speed cola perk, but will never run out of ammo.
Im going to stick with the no reload for now though so Ill never have to reload.
Ok I did my scanning starting with 8, then shooting 2 rounds and didnt even need to do a Next Scan. The address I need was at the top. So I double clicked the top value to put it in the window at the bottom, change its value, and checked the box under the Active section. What this did was freeze the value from changing. Infinite Ammo!!! Now if you want to set key binds for this to lock/unlock /increase value/decrease value, you can right click on the one you want and select Select/Change hotkeys. From there you would Create a new hotkey, set the key you want to bind(I like using the F1, F2 ect..), and set your condition whether youre going to freeze the value from changing, increase the value, or decrease the value.
God mode
God mode is obtained the same way as the other values were. The only things you need to know to obtain god mode in Call of Duty Black Ops Zombies is:
- Your initial health value is 100. So before you get Jug, do your scan for 100.
- Once you get jug, your heath will increase to 250. Do your Next Scan for 250. This should lower the findings in the address window.
- Now you need to get hit once and pause the game (hit escape), and look for the values that decreased in your address window. Since you paused the game your health count will be locked until you go back to playing. *Note always try to find your god mode address in solo mode, so you can pause the game. When finding god mode for other players you will need to communicate and tell them when to get hit and watch for address changes. Youll have to be quick about it when finding other players since there is no pause button for online mode.
- Repeat as many times as necessary to obtain that address.
Thanks for reading!!! Now, who wants to get down on some zombies???
P.S. I had to lower the quality of the pictures to ensure I was able to get them all loaded on here.

Consider Collatz-type problems of the form $an + 1$, where $a > 2$ is a positive, odd integer (e.g., $3n + 1$, $5n +1 $, $7n + 1$, etc.). For convenience, automatically divide by two.
The $3n + 1$ problem has a single known positive cycle $(1, 2)$. This cycle has period $2$, and the maximum value this cycle obtains differs from its minimum value by a power of two; that is $2 = 2 \cdot 1$.
The $7n + 1$ problem has a positive cycle $(1, 4, 2)$. This cycle has period $3$, and the maximum value $4 = 2^2 \cdot 1$ is the minimum value multiplied by some power of two.
The $5n + 1$ problem has three positive cycles: $(1, 3, 8, 4, 2)$, $(13, 33, 83, 208, 104, 52, 26)$, and $(17, 43, 108, 54, 27, 68, 34)$. The first cycle has period $5$, and its maximum $8 = 2^3 \cdot 1$. The other two cycles have period $7$, and one of these $7$-cycles has a maximum value $208 = 2^4 \cdot 13$.
Is it known whether the existence of a positive $m$-cycle in such a Collatz-type problem implies the existence of a positive $m$-cycle such that its maximum $M$ and its minimum $\mu$ are related by $M = 2^k \mu$, for some $k \in \mathbb{N}$?
I used $m$-cycle to denote a cycle of period $m$ when it has already been standardized that $m$-cycle means a cycle with $m$ local minima. Either affirmative answer would serve just as well, however.
Question 2
Does the existence of a nontrivial (positive) cycle in the $3n+1$ problem imply the existence of a nontrivial (positive) cycle with maximum $M$ and minimum $m$ such that $M = 2^k m$, for some $k \in \mathbb{N}$?
Note: If you prefer to work with the odd-only transformation, the condition would be that the maximum element transforms into the minimum element.

I have an IBM blade server and we've installed RedHat Linux on the machine.
How can we check if we have both disks running as a mirror, or if everything is only running on a single disk? What commands can I use to discover this?
If you are using software raid in linux, look at
If its hardware raid, you'll need to look in the bios / raid controller config during boot up to check what raid level it is using.
There are several possible RAID configurations and it's not always obvious where to look.
If it is Linux software RAID, it will likely show up in the device name. If you run
If you are using hardware based RAID it's a little more complicated. Many of these devices will show up as if they were single drive devices. You should start with physically looking at the box to see if the drives are plugged into a RAID capable device. If so there might be indications from the POST messages during boot as well.
Download the IBM management tools for your platform and install them, if you haven't already done so. You need to have the proper modules installed, in particular the RAID controller module. In the management tool, select
If you have a support contract, this is exactly the kind of things that your support provider can walk you through.

Toast of the Coast
Anton and Jennifer Segerstrom had plenty of reasons to be proud—more than 300 of them, actually. That's how many people packed Charlie Palmer for this year's South Coast Plaza Summer Food & Wine Fest—an annual tradition for more than 25 years, founded by the Segerstroms to support Second Harvest Food Bank. Charlie Palmer attended the event, which featured 100-plus wines (Duckhorn, Trinitas and Justin among them) and bites created by Executive Chef Seakyeong Kim. The smoked and seared scallop with pineapple and rhubarb yogurt was a hit, and so were the duck wings with red wine pomegranate reduction. Even better than the food, though, was the end result. The evening raised more than $65,000 to help feed the hungry. Now that's paying it forward. Photography by Ryan Miller/Capture Imaging

It is well known that the nerve (or Čech complex) of a covering consisting of metric balls with a common fixed radius is nicely approximated by the Vietoris-Rips complex. Being a flag complex on its 1-simplices, the latter is computationally much more tractable than the nerve itself.
Does anybody know of other classes of sets that yield approximations to the nerve à la what Vietoris-Rips does for the case of balls? I'm quite open to vague answers, and "approximation" can here certainly mean much poorer ones than Vietoris-Rips.

Legoland seems to help increase business in Polk
Some of the tourist attractions in Polk County had more visitors during this winter season and they credit the opening of Legoland in Winter Haven for providing that boost.
At Bok Tower Gardens, both attendance and revenues increased in 2011. Attendance was also up in January of this year, according to Cassie Jacoby, director of communications.
"Of course, Legoland Florida has put us on the map and built an 8-foot LEGO replica of the Singing Tower in their Mini Land," Jacoby wrote in email correspondence.
She recently told the Bok board of directors that revenues increased by
5.5 percent to $2.9 million in 2011. With more than 20,000 visitors in December, it had the highest attendance in 15 years.
The holiday home tour at Pinewood Estate had 13,000 visitors, far exceeding previous attendance. Attendance grew from 70 visitors on Christmas Day five years ago to 1,728 on the same day in 2011.
In addition to tremendous national group sales business from Diamond Tours, Jacoby said another reason for increasing attendance is David Price's decision to change the name from Historic Bok Sanctuary to Bok Tower Gardens when he became president five years ago.
Also, another media partnership with UF-IFAS Extension Service Horticulture Agent Emeritus Tom MacCubbin has driven visitation. He promotes Bok statewide on his radio network of 21 stations every Saturday during his show, "Better Lawns & Gardens."
She noted media partnerships, including one with Sun Coast Media Group, Inc., continue to grow.
The total attendance for 2011 was 150,000 visitors, up 7,500 from 2010. Jacoby said total attendance for the first quarter (October through January) is 58,950 compared to 50,452 during the same period last year. First quarter revenue increases are 20 percent for the café alone and 4 percent for the gift shop.
Tom Davidson of Davidson of Dundee said the candy and jelly factory saw an increase in visitors during the winter season. Davidson added the numbers are skewed because the six-laning of U.S. Highway 27 blocked off the entrance to the business.
He is curious to see what will happen this summer with Legoland in operation and if the theme park will bring more visitors to his business.
"You have to have a niche," he said.
Florida's Natural Grove House Visitor Center had its "strongest" winter season in the 11 years it has been open, according to Nikki Black, company spokeswoman.
Black said more visitors have come as a result of the company partnering with Bok and Davidson and setting up a "citrus experience" with an Orlando tour operator.
She said Legoland has made an impact on the visitor center, noting that during the Christmas holidays some visitors mentioned that they had been to the theme park.
Black said there has been a
remerchandising of gifts in the center's store and added that it keeps updating the videos about orange juice
Hank Longo, manager of visitor services for Polk County, said 16,660 people stopped by the welcome center near Interstate 4 and U.S. Highway 27 between January and March of this year. Longo added that number is "definitely up" over last year.
He believes the opening of Legoland last fall has helped attract more tourists to the county.
"We'll see more of that as the years go by," Longo said.
A brief email from a public relations agency said since Legoland opened |Oct. 15, the park has been "extremely successful."
The park is looking forward to opening the water park attraction on
May 26.
