6 Rulers Who Abused Their Power In Hilariously Insane Ways
#3. Caligula: Thought His Horse Was People
Everyone likes a good, faithful pet. That's why people hate cats. So maybe it's understandable that Emperor Caligula of Rome (12-41) would want to pamper his horse, Incintatus, as much as possible. It's kind of sweet, in a way...
... Until he started treating the horse like an actual human being. Incintatus the Horse was promoted to a consul of Rome, effectively making a horse one of the highest authorities of the time. Caligula arranged for the horse to meet the mare of his dreams (Incintatus' dreams, not Caligula's), invited him to dinner constantly and fed him gold-flecked oats.
That's right: This horse's shit was more valuable than the average citizen. And you thought feeding a cat Fancy Feast made you a pretentious dick. (It still does.)
After making his horse's digestive track his nation's treasury, Caligula casually decided that he was a god, and wanted to convince everyone else of the same thing. He spent a good portion of his time dressed up as various Roman gods, including Venus (the armless chick). When conducting political affairs, he was known to only respond to the name of Jupiter while in court and spoke only in a manly, booming echo.
They also made a Caligula movie that featured hardcore pornography but, shockingly, contained no horsefucking. A missed opportunity, is what that is.
All of this, of course, went unchecked. This guy was the Emperor of the part of the world that wasn't shit at the time, making him the most important person on Earth for a few short years. Short of being stabbed 30 or so times, there wasn't much in the way of a check-and-balance system.
#2. Ludwig II of Bavaria: Had Castle Fever
Ludwig II of Bavaria (1845-1866) absorbed himself completely in fantasy, probably because he realized that being a real king sucked total balls. So he decided to be an imaginary king, starting with the construction of a new castle, Neuschwanstein. He loved the castle to death, and even today it's his most famous castle, serving as the inspiration for Sleeping Beauty's Castle in Disneyland (Disney World's drunken, unkempt older brother).
However, the guy was insane, and everyone knew it. He had a mix of OCD, schizophrenia and plain ol' blind obsession with the most random shit. Building castles turned into crack for him, and he wasn't willing to share it, either.
He built two more castles over the course of his lifetime, and attended to each one with an intensity only the insane can manage. The king would send out servants to uninhabited castles every day just to make sure that, you know, they were still there. And he had no intention of ever living in them--he just liked to build them.
Given that poor people make excellent laborers, building the castles wasn't so much the problem as the cost. Sitting on your ass all day doesn't really rake in the cash. Instead, he fed off of taxpayer's money, and eventually this ended up with the entire country being placed into debt and presumably being blacklisted by Mastercard. Ludwig's solution was to sell the whole damn thing to buy more land to build more castles.
"Hey, what do we got going on on top of that castle? Because I think a castle would look really good there..."
Eventually the nobles declared Ludwig legally insane and threw him off the throne. Ludwig tried to come up with a charming one-liner that would put him back into good graces, but in the end just said "fuck it" and died a mysterious death three days later, leaving behind a crazy legacy and a tremendous I.O.U. To his country.
#1. Saparmurat: Loved Melons, Insanity
(Note: Because Cracked cannot spell "Saparmurat "Turkmenbashi" Niyazov of Turkmenistan (1940-2006)" without copying and pasting, he will be referred to as Superman for the rest of this article.),
Just in case you missed it, check the birth and death of this guy--that is scarily recent. If you thought that crazy douches only ruled way back when, this man is very-nearly-living proof of just how fucked up things can get even today.
Superman grew up an orphan, joined the National Communist Party, made his way up the ladder and finally became president of Turkmenistan when the country gained independence. A few years later, he crowned himself President for Life and took hold of every affair in Turkmenistan.
He amassed a cult of personality, erecting statues (some made of solid gold) in his honor, establishing national holidays on his birthday and date of inauguration, and used his control of the media to praise him daily. So far, so good--seems like pretty standard eccentric dictator stuff.
As his reign continued, Superman decided to one up every other human being that would ever live. His legacy was to be palace of ice--a big palace of ice, enough for 1,000 people. And he wanted to build it in a desert.
Getting 1,000 people to gather in the middle of a scorching desert is wishful thinking. Getting a palace of ice to not melt in said desert would require the world's most potent sorcery.
His egomania came to a head when he decided to just rename time itself: He remade the calendar so that days of the week and months of the year were named after himself and his mother. Then there's the whole "National Melon Day," the only day in human history where fruit rose to the status of superstars. Unless his love of melons was blatantly obvious innuendo, chances are he had always been crazy and just kinda liked melons. He certainly liked them enough to be quoted as saying, "Let the life of every Turkmen be as beautiful as our melons."
"And you know what they say: A melon a day, there are tiny goblins in my brain, eating my thoughts."
Yes, Superman. We must all be as beautiful as our goddamn melons, you crazy, crazy bastard.

Councillor Mike Ward
How to contact me
I hold regular Advice Bureaux for constituents within the Sheldon Ward.
You can visit me at my Advice Bureaux or contact me using the details below.

All about me
I'm the "new boy" in Sheldon, in that I've only been your councillor since 1991, i.e. more recently than my colleagues Paul Tilsley and Sue Anderson. Together we are proud to have represented Sheldon for so long, and hope Sheldon people continue to be satisfied with the service we provide.
I'm Birmingham born and bred, growing up in the Firs and Bromford area of Castle Bromwich, where my mother still lives. I did mathematics and science A-levels at King Edward's Grammar School in Aston, before going away to University briefly. I didn't stay long. I missed Birmingham and quickly returned, to work for the Liberal Party back in the 70s. Then for 35 years I didn't leave Birmingham for more than two weeks at a time, and am proud of our great city!
I lived in Barrows Lane for 8 years in the 90s. My younger daughter went to Lyndon Green Junior School and both she and my elder daughter had their secondary education at Cockshut Hill. Those of you who are around or approaching 30 may know them!
During my time representing Sheldon, I have been a school governor at Lyndon Green, Mapledene and more recently at Cockshut Hill and Garretts Green Nursery. I am also a trustee of the Sheldon Schools Charity and the Birmingham International Airport Community Trust, which makes grants towards environmental projects in areas affected by aircraft noise.
At city level, I was the Liberal Democrat spokesman on Education for many years, as well as sitting on many other committees. I am proud to have defended nursery education in the early 90s, when it was under threat. I led the attack on a rationalisation policy that was being proposed and sparked instead an expansion of provision in its place. More recently I spearheaded opposition to merging Infant and Junior Schools against parents' wishes.
in 2004 I adopted a "behind the scenes" role, hearing appeals from City Council employees who have been dismissed or who have other grievances. In 2009 I joined the West Midlands Integrated Transport Authority (Centro), where my genuine interest in, and frequent use of, public transport assists in the work of the organisation.

It was like night and day in the twin bill hosted by the Pratt Junior Legion against visiting Dodge City.
In the opener, the Rangers pounded the Jr. 86ers mercilessly, putting up a 9-spot in the 3rd inning as their highlight in an 18-5 four-inning run-rule victory.
The nightcap was a different story however, as the 86ers regrouped and laid an 8-0 six-inning run-rule whipping of their own on the visiting Rangers.
Perhaps the Rangers were worn out from racing around the bases so much in the early game with the temperature in triple digits. Or perhaps hurler Jacob Kurz just had their number. Whatever the case, in the nightcap, Kurz only gave up 2 hits in 5 innings of work, facing only two batters over the minimum. Brandon Kelling pitched the 6th inning in equally effective fashion, setting the Rangers down in order.
Meanwhile, the Jr. 86er offense got untracked and put up enough runs to give Pratt the early momentum. In the first inning, Noah Myers doubled, moved up on Hayden Schrag's single and scored on Kelling's RBI base knock.
The Jr. 86ers struck for 3 in the second frame. Brett Barnard led off by working a base on balls. He stole second and advanced to third on a wild pitch. With two outs, Abe Fernandez extended the inning with a walk, Kurz helped his own cause with an RBI double and Myers plated Fernandez and Kurz with a single.
Up 4-0 in the fifth inning, Kurz led the 86ers off with a base rap. A groundout moved Kurz to second base. Hayden Schrag then reached on a fielder's choice where the fielder failed to record an out, leaving runners at first and third. Kelling walked to load the bases. Devon Evert drew a base on balls to drive in Kurz and Drew Roadhouse followed with an RBI single to score Schrag.
Needing two runs in the bottom of the sixth to invoke the run-rule, the 86ers got them. With one out, Abe Fernandez walked and advanced on a wild pitch. Kurz doubled to put the winning runs in scoring position. After another out, Hayden Schrag put an end to the proceedings by cracking a double pushing Fernandez and Kurz across to stretch the 86er lead to 8-0, a run-rule victory.
The Jr. 86ers will play in the Smoky Ford tourney. ment this weekend.

He'll, you may not have even seen 15 Turkeys in your time in Northrend.
Unless of course you have been questing in the Howling Fjords.
If you have, there is a chance that you picked up a quest to train a falcon.
One of the early tasks is to get the hawk to catch Fjord Turkeys.
The side benefit of this quest (whether you have it or not) is that there are a large concentration of Fjord Turkeys to enable a quick completion of the quest, and while you are there, pick up the Achievement.
Getting There
Just head to this position on the map.
Yep, right here near the ransacked wagon.
Go crazy!
Take your time
The 2nd thing to note is that this isn't some crazy holiday event let of 100 fireworks in 15 seconds achievement. You have 3 minutes! That's enough time to kill the single respawning Fjord Turkey if you are too lazy to move!
Prepare to be attacked by a rafter of Turkeys
Oh and last thing, when I killed my 15th bird I was swamped with Fjord Turkeys, so bring a friend and share the fun (not cause you need them! Your a big Gnome now, you can handle them yourself).

Buffalo Sabres Tickets
Following a pair of unsatisfying seasons, there's nowhere to go but up for the Buffalo Sabres. The team wisely added Dan Bylsma this off-season, a coach known for his ability to develop star athletes on the ice. He'll have some solid new talent to work with in the form of forwards Jack Eichel and Evander Kane, the latter of whom is finally ready to suit up in a Sabres uniform for 2015-16. Ryan O'Reilly was Buffalo's other big acquisition this summer, an imposing center who figures to start this season in hopes of developing into one of the league's elite producers. You can follow all the exciting progress in-person with Buffalo Sabres tickets for home and away games, available now!

Buffalo Sabres 2016-2017 News and Updates
It has been a fairly rough week, even by the Buffalo Sabres standards. Four losses out of five games played in February has left Buffalo just a point above the Toronto Maple Leafs, keeping them out of the Atlantic Conference cellar—at least for the time being. The Sabres fell to Philadelphia most recently, giving up five goals while putting just one in the net themselves. Coming on the heels of a 7-4 rout at the hands of the Florida Panthers, Buffalo knows it's time to regroup. They'll get a few chances to right the ship at home when they host Montreal and Colorado this weekend. Get your tickets for Sunday night from $55 and up!

2/1/16 - The Buffalo Sabres may be in seventh place in the Atlantic Division, but other NHL teams shouldn't think they are an easy team to beat. The Sabres have defeated their last two competitors and the team has hopes of adding on more W's to their record. It seemed as if the Canadiens were going to skate away with the win on Wednesday night as they entered the third period up one goal. However, the Sabres were able to score an impressive three goals in the third period alone to give them the 4-2 win. This week the Sabres will play against the Boston Bruins at home and away. Get your tickets to see the Sabres play this weekend and to fill your Saturday with a fun-filled activity.
1/25/16 - The Buffalo Sabres have managed to end their short three-game losing streak. On January 26th, they took on the Ottawa Senators in an away matchup. After matching their opponents point for point in the first two periods, the final score came to 3-2 with the Sabres ahead. This brings their season record to 20-26-4, leaving them seventh in the Atlantic Division, meaning they still have some ways to go before they catch up. While the Sabres are not going to have many consecutive home games coming up, there are plenty of opportunities to catch them in action. First, they will host the Boston Bruins on February 4th, and then the Florida Panthers on February 9th.
1/18/16 - Despite one small setback, the Buffalo Sabres are certainly playing well right now. With their most recent victory on January 18th, they have won four of their last five games, only taking one close loss to the Boston Bruins. Impressively, three of these victories were on their opponents rinks. The Sabres are going to be continuing to play many away games, so hopefully they will be able to keep this pace up. After the January 22nd matchup against the Detroit Red Wings, their next home game will not be until February 4th when they host the Bruins for a rematch. Tickets for these games start at $43 and $26 respectively.
1/11/16 - The Buffalo Sabres finally broke their six game losing streak when they beat the Jets on January 10. Then, they added another win tot heir record when they beat the Wild on the 12. Against the Wild, the Sabres got an early lead when Jamie McGinn, Rasmus Ristolainen, and Brian Gionta scored goals in the first period. The Wild battled hard and managed to get a goal in the second period and another in the final minute of play, but the Sabres were able to maintain their lead. They will look to add to this winning streak when they play the Bruins on January 15. Tickets to the game remain available, with prices starting at $73.
1/4/16 - It looks like the Buffalo Sabres lost their momentum at the wrong time. They ended up losing the two matches leading to their series of home games, and they were simply not able to recover, even if their fans cheering them on. Unfortunately, the Sabres have lost each of their home games, against the New York Islanders, Detroit Red Wings, and Florida Panthers, which brings their losing streak to five. Even worse, the Sabres are now heading out on the road for three consecutive away games, which means it will be even more difficult to turn around. They will be returning to Buffalo on January 15th to host the Boston Bruins. Be sure to get your tickets and welcome the Sabres back.
12/28/15 - After beating the Bruins on December 26, the Buffalo Sabres lost both games in a home-home series against the Capitals. They were shut out the first night when they hosted the Capitals, losing 2-0. On December 30, they went to Washington for the second part of the series and lost 5-2. The Sabres were ahead 2-1 going into the third period with goals from Brian Gionta and Zemgus Gingersons. However, the Capitals rallied and scored four goals in the third period to take the game. The Sabres next play the Islanders at home on December 31. You still have a chance to get tickets to catch the action in person and ring in the New Year with the team. Prices start at $70.
12/23/15 - The Buffalo Sabres last game against the defending champions, the Chicago Blackhawks, was nothing short of exciting. Even though the Sabres are in second to last place in the Atlantic division, they still gave the Blackhawks a run for their money. At the end of regulation play, the two teams were tied at 2-2 sending them into overtime. Overtime was unsuccessful for both parties, which in turn gave the crowd a thrilling shootout to watch. Patrick Kane from the Blackhawks was the only player able to come up clutch and score in the final shootout, giving the Blackhawks the W. See if the Sabres can recover when they take on the Boston Bruins on December 26.
12/14/15 - The Buffalo Sabres may be seventh in the Atlantic Division, but that isn't stopping them from dominating their last two opponents. Buffalo first managed to take out the indomitable Los Angeles Kings, ruining their victorious streak in overtime and sending them packing 2 – 1. Cheers from the home crowd practically blew the rafters off First Niagara Center after the win. Next, the Sabres hit the road to face the Detroit Red Wings. Things didn't look good after the second period, but Buffalo came on strong in the third to beat the Red Wings 2 – 1. Come find out if they can keep the dream alive at their next game against the Anaheim Ducks.
12/7/15 - After a difficult November schedule, the Buffalo Sabres started December with a bang, going 3-0-1. When last week began, they thought that games against Edmonton and Vancouver would add to that winning record. After losing to both teams, however, the mood has certainly changed. While going through some particularly rough moments, center Ryan O'Reilly gave the team a pep talk during a second period timeout. "Just take a deep breath and get back to being there for each other," he told his fellow players. Hopefully they will follow that advice when the Sabres host the Kings this Saturday, Dec. 12, at the First Niagara Center in Buffalo. Secure your seats for this game today by purchasing tickets for $28 and up.
11/30/15 - The Buffalo Sabres finally broke their six game losing streak with a 4-1 victory over the Hurricanes on November 27. They had another 4-1 victory when they played the Predators on the next night. However, their winning ways did not last long, and they fell to the Red Wings in a shut out on December 1. Detroit had an early lead but the Sabres continued to work hard and tied the game in the first minute of the third period. It was not long before the Red Wings got ahead again, but a goal from Justin Abdelkader tied the game, sending it into overtime. The Sabres host the Coyotes on December 4, and you can still get tickets for prices that start at $19.
11/23/15 - The Buffalo Sabres have been unable to get a win in their last five games. After being shut out by the Stars on the 21, the Sabers looked like they might snap their losing streak when they played the Blues on the 23. After a scoreless first period, David Legwand scored for the Sabres to bring them ahead 1-0. However, the Sabres lost their lead when the Blues scored two goals in the third period. The Sabres will look to get a win and break this current dry spell when they host the Predators on the 25. You can still get tickets to catch the action in person, with prices starting at $29.
11/16/15 - The Buffalo Sabres have added another loss to their record after playing the Stars on November 17. The Stars got on the board first in the first minute of play. Then, the game remained scoreless until Dallas scored again seven minutes into the third period. The Sabres worked to catch up, and Ryan O'Reilly scored late in the period. It appeared as though the Sabres tied with six minutes left with a shot by Sam Reinhart. However, the shot was challenged and found to be offside. The Sabres were unable to get another goal and the game went to the Stars. The Sabres head to St. Louis to play the Blues on the 19, and you can get tickets for $21 and up.
11/9/15 - Unfortunately, the Buffalo Sabres have ended their three-game winning streak. On November 14th, they faced the San Jose Sharks in the first home game in a week. Things started out bad with the Sharks earning the only point for either team in the first or second periods. It was not until the end of the game when the Sabres were able to tie the match up, sending it into overtime. The Sabres just were not able to keep up, however, and the match went to the Sharks. The Sabres have another opportunity to turn this visit back to Buffalo around, however, as they will be hosting the Dallas Stars on November 17th.
11/2/15 - After two wins in a row, the Buffalo Sabres lost against the Lightning in their latest match on the 6th. The Lightning scored three points in the first period, and the Sabres were unable to come back and close the gap. Jack Eichel scored with an assist by Mike Weber and Tyler Ennis in the second period. The Sabres were able to come back from behind when they played the Islanders on the 1st. After a scoreless first period, the Islanders drew ahead 1-0 by the end of the second. Matt Moulson tied the game and Sam Reinhart got another goal to take the win. The Sabres next play the Canucks on the 7th, and tickets remain available starting at $47.
10/26/15 - The Buffalo Sabres have started the season with a weird streak going on. They lose two games in a row, take home a win, and push repeat. This last week was no different for the Sabres when they lost to the Canadiens and the Devils, then beat out the Flyers on October 27. The game against the Flyers was nothing short of exciting and came down to the overtime wire. The Sabres, Zemgus Girgensons, was able to pull away from the pack with two and a half minutes left in overtime, and punch the puck into the back of the net for the victory. Watch them take on the Flyers again, but on their home turf on October 30. Tickets are still available.
10/19/15 - The Buffalo Sabres haven't had an ideal start to a season. They are currently bringing up the caboose in the Atlantic Division with only two wins and four losses. The Sabres had an exciting game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on October 21. The game wasn't full of scoring and regulation time ended with a 1-1 tie. Overtime wasn't much different, as each team was unable to score, leading to a shootout. The shootout was won thrillingly by Moulson scoring the game winning shot for the Sabres. See if the Sabres can continue to grow their confidence when they take on the New Jersey Devils on October 24. Get your tickets today.
10/14/15 - The Sabres have an early record of 1-2. Their victory came against the Blue Jackets on October 12. After a scoreless first period, Rasmus Ristolainen scored during a power play in the second period. Ryan O'Reilly also had a power play goal in the fifth minute of the third period to bring their lead to two. However, the Blue Jackets closed the gap soon after. Jack Eichel scored in the ninth minute of play to once again get a two-point cushion, but a few minute layer the Blue Jackets scored again. Matt Moulson scored to once gain give the Sabres a two-point cushion. The Sabres next play the Panthers in Florida on October 15. You can still get tickets for as low as $5.
10/5/15 - The Buffalo Sabres are ready to start their new season this week. However, one player may end up missing the season opener: Brian Gionta. He experienced lower body issues in one of the last preseason practices and is taking it day to day. Josh Gorges is also on the injury list, although he has been practicing in the final days preceding the game. Despite the injuries, the Sabres are looking to start the season strong, especially with the addition of Ryan O'Reilly, Evander Kane, Sam Reinhart, and Jack Eichel to the roster, and a new coach Dan Bylsma. They'll get their chance in the home opener on October 8, with tickest available starting at $28.
9/14/15 - The 2014-15 season wasn't a kind one to the Buffalo Sabres, who finished out with an overall record of 25-51-8 in the Atlantic Division. They're looking to make strides this year, as they pursue a shot at the Stanley Cup Playoffs once again. Bolstering the blue line has been an evident priority for the front office in Buffalo, as the Sabres picked up veteran defender Cody Franson, formerly of Blackhawks fame. The seventh-year blueliner figures to add toughness and veteran know-how to a D unit that definitely needed a second look. You can get your first look at the Sabres with preseason tickets for First Niagara Center, on sale now! Come out and see Buffalo take on the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday with tickets starting at just $4!
2014-2015 Season
4/6/15 - The Buffalo Sabres may be out of contention for the playoffs, but that did not stop them from pulling of a win against the Carolina Hurricanes on April 6. Goalie Andres Lindback made 49 saves to help secure the victory. The Sabres drew ahead early in the game. Mikhail Grigorenko got the Sabres on the board in the fifth minute of play, and Britan Gionta and Johan Larsson also scored for the Sabres. Tyler Ennis had his 20th goal of the season, bringing the lead to 4-0 in the second period. However, the Sabres almost lost their lead after the Hurricanes were able to score three points. The Sabres face the Blue Jackets in Columbus on Friday for their penultimate game of the season. Tickets remain available, starting at $10.
3/30/15 - The Buffalo Sabres may have had a lackluster season so far, but they are not settling for a last place finish. They ended a five game losing streak with a 4-1 victory over the Arizona Coyotes on March 30. Arizona may have scored the first goal early in the game, but Buffalo dominated the second and third periods. Andrej Meszaros scored twice in the second period, and Brian Gionta and Rasmus Ristolainen added two points in the third period. With the victory, the Sabres are within four points of 29th place, which is currently held by the Coyotes. The Sabres have six games left to get out of last place, starting with a home game against the Maple Leafs on April 1. Tickets are still available with prices starting at $18.
3/23/15 - The Buffalo Sabres lost a close game against the Dallas Stars on the 23rd to bring their current losing streak to three. The Sabres were the first on the scoreboard when Brian Gionta scored at 13:39 in the first period. However, Dallas brought the game to a tie by the close of that period. Buffalo edged ahead during the second period when Gionta scored again. However, early in the 3rd period Dallas tied up the game again. Matt Moulson scored the third and final point for the Sabres at 10 minutes into the game, bringing the Sabres ahead. An answer by Dallas a couple minutes later tied the game, and a subsequent goal secured the victory for the Stars. The Sabres next face the Arizona Coyotes on the 26th, with ticket prices starting at $18.
3/19/15 - After a seven-game losing streak, the Buffalo Sabres finally secured a victory when they beat the Bruins in overtime on the 17th. The Bruins had the lead for most of the game, after scoring around 10 minutes into the first period. However, Rasmus Ristolainen scored for the Sabres during the third period, bringing the game to a tie. After a scoreless overtime, the teams went into a shoot out. Tyler Ennis was the only one to score during the shoot out, largely thanks to a magnificent game by goalie Anders Lindback, who had a career high of 44 saves. The Sabres will look to continue to win when they face the Devils on the 20th (ticket prices start at $14), followed by another game the next night against the Predators in Nashville (ticket prices start at $7).
3/9/15 - The Buffalo Sabres continue their slump as they add two more losses to their losing streak. When they played the Ottawa Senators on March 6th, the Sabres came heartbreakingly close to victory. They earned an early two point lead, and tried to simply defend it as they ran the clock out. It was a good effort, but the Senators were just able to catch up in the final period. That loss must have broken the Sabres' momentum because they lost 1-6 the following night against the Washington Capitals. Buffalo plays the Maple Leafs next on March 11th, but they might have to wait until the 14th to regain their energy when they return to their home rink. A few tickets are still available starting at $118.
3/2/15 - The Buffalo Sabres have been doing well, scoring twice as much as their opponents two games in a row. First, the Sabres beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-2 in an away game on Feb. 24th, then they stepped over the Vancouver Canucks on Feb. 26th with 3-6, scoring a whopping four times in the final period. More recently, however, the Sabres have not been doing as well. They started losing when they began their series of away games, first to the Florida Panthers, and then they failed to score once when they played the Tampa Bay Lightning. They will not be able to play on their own ice until March 14th, so they will just have to tough it out until then. Tickets for their return game begin at $43.
2/23/15 - It was a near-upset for the Buffalo Sabres, who came within inches of taking down the NHL-best Nashville Predators on Sunday evening. Buffalo struck first, taking a 1-0 lead on Tyler Ennis' 15th goal of the season in the second period. Nashville would tie the game with less than five minutes remaining in the final frame, however, sending the contest into overtime where they would ultimately prevail in a 2-1 shootout. The Sabres were frequently shorthanded due to penalties throughout the game, but killed seven of the Predators' eight power plays. Goalie Michal Neuvirth made 37 saves in an outstanding defensive performance for Buffalo as well, adding to the positive takeaways in spite of the loss. The Sabres will host the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday evening, and tickets are available starting at just $17!
2/16/15 - When they acquired defenseman Zach Bogosian, the Buffalo Sabres were hoping to inject a dose of toughness and intensity to their lineup. Although they fell to the Philadelphia Flyers in the first outing after the trade, coach Ted Nolan summed it up the new roster addition succinctly: "He's exactly what we ordered." Bogosian tallied six hits in just over eight minutes on the ice in the opening period, finishing with 11 for the game overall—a season-high for any Sabres player. Nikita Zadorov scored a 5-on-3 power play goal to extend his points streak to seven games. Buffalo can get back on track on Tuesday night when they visit the New Jersey Devils, and you can be a part of the action for as low as $14!
2/9/15 - Six weeks of futility on their home ice was enough for the Buffalo Sabres, who held off the Dallas Stars on Saturday to notch a 3-2 victory, just their 16th of the season. The Sabres built a 3-0 lead mid-way through the second period, and held on for a one-goal victory as goaltender Jhonas Enroth protected the net with 38 saves. Buffalo will have several opportunities to pick up victories against non-playoff ranked teams over the next week, including Ottawa, New Jersey, and two games versus the Philadelphia Flyers. Tickets to see the Sabres take on the Senators on Tuesday can be had for as low as $8, with seats for Sunday's contest with the Flyers starting at $15 each! Come out to First Niagara Center and support your Sabres!
2/5/15 - No one was happier to turn the calendar than the Buffalo Sabres, who on Tuesday night notched their first win in over a month, a 3-2 triumph over the Montreal Canadiens. Buffalo did not win a game in January, their last victory dating back to December 27th, when they scored an unlikely 4-3 shootout win over the New York Islanders. The Sabres got it done in regulation this time, jumping out to a 3-1 lead in the first period and holding on to score their 15th win of the season. They will try to take momentum into their next game on Thursday night versus the St. Louis Blues. A limited number of seats are still available to see the Sabres take on the Dallas Stars on Saturday, starting at just $24! Don't delay!
1/28/15 - The Buffalo Sabres continue through their slump as they take on the Calgary Flames. Jan. 27th's game marks the second in the Sabres' series of away games and their tenth loss in a row. Chris Stewart scored the first point of either team 10 minutes into the first period with Tyler Ennis and Tyler Myers assisting. They held this lead for about three minutes, but once it was lost, they were unable to catch up. They held a strong defense in the second period and even outshot the Flames. Unfortunately, they couldn't hold up in the final stretch, only shooting twice while the Flames scored three times. With 14-31-3, the Sabres are overdue for a victory, but they may have to wait until they return to their home rink on Feb 5th.
1/19/15 - The start to 2015 has not been as the Buffalo Sabres had hoped, as they have opened with nine straight losses. They kicked off a five-game road trip in Detroit on Sunday, falling 6-4 to the Red Wings, who managed a comeback victory behind captain Henrik Zetterberg's sixth career hat trick. Buffalo led 3-0 after the first period, but managed only seven shots on goal through the rest of the game, leaving the door open for the Red Wings to rally. Tyler Ennis scored his eleventh and twelfth goals of the season for the Sabres, who dropped to a record of 14-30-3 with the loss. They will visit Calgary on Tuesday night, before heading to Edmonton to face the Oilers on Thursday. Great seats at Rexall Place are still available starting at just $11!
1/13/15 - The Buffalo Sabres don't seem to be clicking on all cylinders as of late. They sport a 14-27-3 record, and are currently ranked 8th in the Atlantic Division. Their latest outing didn't go according to plan against the Detroit Red Wings, losing 3-1. In their tough defeat, Mike Weber was the only player to score and do anything substantial on offense. The Sabres goalie, Michal Neuvirth had 27 saves, but it was not enough to come away with the win. They have now lost 8 straight, and they are desperately in need of a win. Their next game is against the Minnesota, which takes place tomorrow January 15, 2015. Tickets for the game can be bought now, and the starting price is a low $13.
1/5/15 - The Buffalo Sabres want to change their luck and get out of eighth place. They're having a run of losing games, and they keep hoping to show their fans a winning game. Come out show your support while enjoying an evening of great hockey by getting tickets to their upcoming home games. On Tuesday, January 13, the Sabres face the Detroit Red Wings. Then on Thursday, the Minnesota Wild come to town, and on Saturday they wrap up their time at home with a game against the Philadelphia Flyers. Razorgator has great seats to catch these matchups. Ticket prices are very affordable, so you can bring your family or friends out with you to enjoy the evening by yelling and cheering the Sabres to victory.
12/29/14 - The Buffalo Sabres finally got a win in the column when they hosted the New York Islanders on December 27. It was a fight to the bitter end, when the Sabres brought home three goals in the third period to tie the game. No one scored in overtime, so the game went into a shootout, with the Sabres earning the only goal and taking the game. Buffalo goes out on the road for four games before coming back to home ice on January 13, when the Red Wings come to town. Get your tickets at Razorgator to enjoy this team and show your support. The Sabres may be in last place, but their Center, Zemgus Girgensons, is leading the field in fan votes to play in the NHL All-Star game.
12/23/14 - The Buffalo Sabres' loss against the Boston Bruins on December 21 in overtime, with a final score of 3-4, creates a three game losing streak. The defeat brings their record to 13-18-3, and they are ranked 8th in the Atlantic Division. They face the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday, December 23, with a look to end this losing streak and bring more wins to their record. They are 14 points back from the Red Wings, who are in a six game losing streak. Although the Red Wings are ranked higher, the Sabres have a chance to win, as long as they come to the ice healthy, as several players are ill or injured. After the Red Wings, they will have several home games, starting with the New York Islanders. Tickets are still on sale, starting at $29.
12/15/14 - Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Jets in Winnipeg was the continuation of one streak and the end of another for the Buffalo Sabres. In the smaller picture, this loss snapped a four-game winning streak for Buffalo that started against the defending Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings on December 9. On a larger scale, Tuesday's loss means that the Sabres still haven't won a game in Winnipeg since 1993. Next up, Brian Gionta and company return home to take on the Colorado Avalanche at the First Niagara Center on December 20 (tickets from $29). Following this brief stop at home, the Sabres head out on a two-game road trip with games against the Boston Bruins on December 21 (tickets from $46) and the Detroit Red Wings on December 23 (tickets from $48).
12/10/14 - The Buffalo Sabres broke their two-game losing streak by beating the reigning NHL Champions, the Los Angeles Kings, at home, which was also the Sabres' third straight home victory this season. This 1-0 win was the first shutout for Sabres goalie Tyler Ennis since April 13, 2013, despite the Kings having a 34-16 shot advantage. This win has not changed the Sabres' rankings much, as they remain 8th in the Atlantic Division with a record 10-16-2. The Sabres have a chance for a fourth straight home victory when they play the Calgary Flames on Thursday, December 11th. It should be a tough game for them, as the Flames are ranked 3rd in the Pacific Division with a 17-10-2 record. Tickets are still on sale for this showdown, starting at $10.
12/1/14 - The Buffalo Sabres are on a three-game winning streak and hope to continue the momentum as they take on the Florida Panthers on Saturday at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, Florida near Fort Lauderdale. The Sabres are ranked 8th in the Atlantic Division, and the Panthers sit in 6th place. The Panthers are favored to take the win, and they have home field advantage. Buffalo needs their fans cheering them on. After the Sabres play the Panthers, they go home for four games, starting with the LA Kings on Tuesday the 9th. The Kings are the reigning Stanley Cup Champions, they're playing strong. Do something different and come out and watch the Sabres play on the ice. Get tickets to their game to show your support and enjoy the camaraderie in the arena.
11/24/14 - The Buffalo Sabres made it two wins in a row last Tuesday, defeating the San Jose Sharks 4-1 in frigid and snowy Buffalo. 6,200 hardy fans showed up in spite of the record breaking snowfall, and witnessed Sabres team captain Brian Gionta's first two goals of the young season. Gionta also contributed an assist in the Sabres victory. The relentless snow in the Buffalo area forced the postponement of the Sabres Friday night game with the New York Rangers. Upcoming home games include face-offs with the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday, then the first place Montreal Canadiens on Friday November 28th. The Canadiens come to town led by defenseman P.K. Subban, last season's winner of the James Norris Memorial Trophy, honoring the NHL's top defensive player. Buy your tickets today and be a part of the excitement that is Buffalo Sabres hockey!
11/18/14 - The Buffalo Sabers have been having a rough season so far. On Nov. 5th they started a five game losing streak, but that all changed on Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Buffalo smashed their opponents with a final score of 2-6, managing to get 2 points in each period and 35 shots total. They are, however, still behind at 4-13-2 and last for their division. The season is still young, though, and if the Sabers bring this energy to the rest of their games, they won't have any trouble catching up. Make sure you follow the sold-out game on Tuesday against the San Jose Sharks. Your next opportunity to see the Sabers in action will be on Friday when they take on the New York Rangers. Tickets start at $19.
11/10/14 - Another rough game for the Buffalo Sabers on Tuesday. This was the second 1-6 loss for them and the fourth loss in general in a row. This brings them to 3-12-2 for the season and 8th in the Atlantic Division. Unfortunately, they simply weren't able to land a good score against the St. Louis Blues (10-4-1) until the third period. They were, however, outshooting the Blues 15-10. Buffalo was just having a hard time putting it in the box. The Sabers are having a difficult season so far, but as tricky as it would be to turn around, they aren't quite done yet. They will be facing the Minnesota Wilds next, and then they're ready for a series of home games, which might be their best chance to change their bad luck.
11/3/14 - As Buffalo prepares to host the Montreal Canadiens, and the Edmonton Oilers afterwards, fans are hoping for a huge upset. While the Buffalo Sabres have had quite a rocky start to the season, NHL enthusiasts are well aware of how quickly the tables can turn. With an upset, like the Sabres hope to cause this week against their top tier Atlantic division competitor, Buffalo could effectively shake up the league in a hurry as so many teams are running a tight race. Fans, waiting for their Sabres to hit their stride, can do their part by focusing their resolve toward supporting Buffalo as they face off with the Canadiens at home. Tickets for the Montreal vs. Buffalo game are still available, and starting at $13 per seat.
10/27/14 - After coming off of a five game losing streak, including a brutal 5-0 loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday night, the Buffalo Sabres put a win on the board in front of a hometown crowd. The 3-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings, who they haven't won against since October 13, 2009, elevates their record to 3-9-1. The end of regulation play found the Sabres and the Red Wings in a 2-2 tie, leading to overtime and, eventually, the shootout where Zemgus Girgensons scored the winning goal. Not only did this give the Sabres their first home win this year, but the win set a positive tone for their four-game homestand. Up next, Buffalo hosts the Montreal Canadiens at First Niagara Center this Wednesday, November 5th. The puck drops at 7:30 pm, and tickets can still be purchased beginning as low as $13.
For the Buffalo Sabres, there is no where to go but up! Last year's campaign was rough, as the team bottomed out with the lowest points in the league, but this forthcoming year marks the start of a new era of hockey for the Buffalo franchise. Their rebuild started in the offseason, with the trade of fan-favorites Ryan Miller and Thomas Vanek, but the future of the NHL could very well manifest in the Sabres' young roster. The Sabres are looking to give their promising prospects tons of experience, confidence and time on the ice in the 2014-2015 season.
With the likes of Sam Reinhart (No.2 in 2014 NHL Draft), Tyler Myers, Tyler Ennis, Torrey Mitchell, not to mention three upcoming 2nd round picks in 2015 and 2016, the Sabres rank the third youngest roster. If it weren't for the offseason addition of Brian Gionta, Josh Gorges and Matt Moulson, who were brought in for veteran presence to accelerate the development of their young players, Buffalo would be the youngest.
Score Buffalo Sabres tickets for their exciting 2014-2015 campaign and see this team bursting with potential gain some ground back in the NHL. The upstate New York squad will have a tough early schedule. They open up at home against the Columbus Blue Jackets (Oct. 9), followed by a road trip to Chicago (Oct. 11) and finish with a game against Anaheim (Oct. 13)--all within five days. Don't miss out on Buffalo Sabres tickets when they take on the Los Angeles Kings Oct. 23 and get a taste of playoff hockey. You can't pass up Sabres ticket when they face arch rivals the Maple Leafs (Oct. 28) and Senators (Dec. 29).
2013-2014 Season
4/7/14 – After being diagnosed with concussions, goalie Nathan Lieuwen and defenseman Chad Ruhwedel will miss the final week of the season. There is good news however for fans with Buffalo Sabres tickets (min. $17) for Tuesday's game against Detroit - forwards Marcus Foligno, Chris Stewart and Torrey Mitchell have a chance to return to play. Guaranteed to finish in last place, most are looking forward to the NHL draft where the Sabres are assured to be a top two selection. With the second pick locked, and a 25 percent change to win the first, will Buffalo trade their draft pick in 2014?
4/1/14 – The Sabres will lineup for the final time this season on April 13. Currently 12 points behind the Edmonton Oilers (29th place), Buffalo is ready to put the 2013-14 campaign behind them. Ted Nolan signed a three-year contract extension Monday. Coach will continue to rebuild; lining up more talent is on Nolan's agenda, as is re-signing restricted free agents Tyler Ennis, Marcus Foligno, and Cory Conacher. The future is bright with a talented 2015 class in which the Sabres will be fighting for a top pick.
3/27/14 – The injury-depleted Sabres lineup has one win in their past 10 games. Tonight's game in Nashville will complete a five game road trip that included their only victory (vs. Edmonton). There are just four more games this season in Buffalo and two are coming up – 3/29 vs. Tampa Bay (avg. $96) and 4/1 vs. New Jersey (avg. $40). Cheer on recently called up duo defenseman Ramus Ristolainen and forward Johan Larsson at First Niagara Center before the team's 2013-14 campaign comes to a close.
3/18/14 – In Thomas Vanek's first game back at First Niagara Center since being traded to the New York Islanders in October, the Habs eliminated the Buffalo Sabres from playoff contention. The team's former scoring leader was honored Sunday with a video tribute. Buffalo will take a five game road trip (first four games in The Great White North) before heading home. The Sabres have just four regular-season games remaining at First Niagara Center; the most affordable being against the New Jersey Devils (avg. $51) April 1 (and no, that is not an April Fool's Day joke).
3/10/14 – Buffalo welcomed home a couple of kids Sunday: Blackhawk's Patrick Kane who scored a highlight-reel goal for Chicago and Cory Conacher who made his Sabres debut and added an assist. Getting his first point in his first game with the club impressed head coach Ted Nolan. Watch as the former standout with Canisius College continues to progress with Buffalo Sabres. Tonight's game against Nashville is the cheapest remaining regular-season game at First Niagara Center (avg. $36).
3/3/14 – The Sabres were part of the biggest NHL trade of-late as the St. Louis Blues acquired Ryan Miller and Steve Ott from Buffalo in exchange for Jaroslav Halak and Chris Stewart. It was an emotional game in San Jose Friday as the Sabres stunned the Sharks 4-2, completing their third straight win since the Olympic break. After a whirlwind weekend, the team will chase their fourth straight win tonight when they visit the Dallas Stars, the first of three straight road games. Buffalo returns home Mar 9 against the defending Stanley Cup Champions, Chicago Blackhawks. Buffalo Sabres tickets for the Sunday meeting range from $46-$213.
2/26/14 - Sorry Buffalo, but this team is propping up the standings from the bottom with only 15 wins and not even their greatest player ever, Gilbert Perreault could get them into the playoffs now. But the loyal Sabres fans will be hoping for a strong finish and have solace in the fact they have 6 of the top 60 picks in the draft. Another plus is the average price for Buffalo Sabres tickets for their remaining games is only $75 and to see the Chicago Blackhawks when they come to town on March 11 you can get in for under $60. Save some dough for awesome Buffalo wings!
2/21/14 – The Sabres (15-34-8) will return to the ice post-Olympics Feb 25 when Buffalo hosts the Carolina Hurricanes. Buffalo Sabres tickets for the team's first game back are relatively cheap, costing fans anywhere from $26-$90 for a seat inside First Niagara Center. During the break, the Sabres released Linus Omark. The forward was acquired in a trade with Edmonton on Dec 19, giving up a conditional sixth-round draft pick. Omark's stay in Buffalo was quick lived; the 27-year-old Swede had two assists in 13 games with the Sabres.
2/4/14 – Buffalo has dropped nine of their last eleven, including a disappointing 2-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers Monday. After missing four games with an upper body injury, forward Drew Stafford returned to the Sabres lineup, scoring a goal for Buffalo; but Stafford's contribution wasn't enough to take out Edmonton. Hard-hitter Tyler Myers left the game with about four and a half minutes left in the second period with a lower body injury and did not return. As Sabres turn their attention to the trade deadline, the roster looks forward to an Olympic break in which they can regroup. The Sabres are twenty plus points out of the second and final wild card spot and it would take a miracle to come within reach of a playoff berth.
No major changes were made to the Buffalo Sabres roster this offseason. The only major change this 2013-2014 NHL season will come to their Division. All of the Buffalo Sabres rivals are opponents from the former Northeast Division. Last year every team in the Sabres Division finished at .500 or better and four of the five teams advanced to the NHL Playoffs. In 2013, the Detroit Red Wings, Florida Panthers, and Tampa Bay Lightning join the former Northeast Division to become the Atlantic Division in the Eastern Conference.
2012-2013 Season

no International Conference on Somalia held Prince Saud attends International Conference on Somalia
International Conference on Somalia opens in London
February 23, 2012
Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal led the Kingdom's delegation to the International Conference on Somalia in London today. The meeting was opened by British Prime Minister David Cameron and attended by representatives from fifty countries and organizations, including the United Nations, the European Union and the Arab League.
In his opening address, Prime Minister Cameron called upon the world to support the African Union peacekeeping forces in Somalia, noting that the country's problems have effects far beyond its own borders. He cited maritime piracy and terrorist bases as examples of Somali issues that endanger other nations. The British Prime Minister advocated the revival of the Somali political process and appealed to the world community to assist the 750,000 people who have been threatened by drought and starvation.
During his own address, the Saudi Foreign Minister noted that the Kingdom was one of the first countries to try and bring about reconciliation in Somalia after the collapse of its government in 1991. He cited the Somali National Reconciliation Arrangement that was concluded in Jeddah in 2009 under the patronage of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz. Saudi Arabia continues to maintain contacts with groups it feels are interested in bringing an end to the crisis, Prince Saud added. Furthermore, he noted that Saudi Arabia has consistently donated money and humanitarian relief supplies to alleviate the suffering of the Somali people.
At the conclusion of the one-day meeting, a final communiqué was issued calling on the world community to remain committed to its obligations of achieving development and progress in Somalia. It underscored the importance of achieving political stability, confirming that Somalis will determine the future of their country. The document also encouraged dialogue between factions and denounced extremism, terrorism and piracy. Finally, the delegates agreed not to extend the mandate of the current transitional government in Mogadishu, which expires in August 2012, in order to pave the way for the formation of a full-fledged government.

Fall session enrollment up 5 percent and online enrollment up 21 percent over 2005
[Columbia, Mo.]-Columbia College earned a top-tier ranking for the third consecutive year in U.S.News & World Report's 2007 edition of "America's Best Colleges." The college ranked 35th for the second consecutive year in the Best Comprehensive Colleges-Bachelor's category for the Midwest region.
Institutions included in the Comprehensive Colleges-Bachelor's category focus on undergraduate education and offer a range of degree programs in the liberal arts, accounting for fewer than half of their bachelor's degrees, and in professional fields such as business, nursing and education. The 2007 report ranks 320 comprehensive colleges within four regions: North, South, Midwest and West.
U.S.News & World Report determines its rankings by analyzing data in several areas, including peer assessment, freshman retention, class size, student-to-faculty ratio, student acceptance rate, graduation rate and alumni giving. Only schools appearing in the top tier in each category receive a ranking. Other tiers are listed in alphabetical order. Data provided for the 2007 edition of "America's Best Colleges" comes from the Day Campus at Columbia College.
"We are proud to be recognized once again for the high-quality education this institution provides," said Dr. Gerald Brouder, president of Columbia College. "In addition to the college's recognition among 'America's Best Colleges,' we also are pleased that our enrollment continues to increase in both quantity and quality."
The college experienced another year of record enrollment in its Online Campus with a 21 percent increase in online students compared to fall 2005. The college also saw a 13 percent increase in the number of graduate students as more of its Nationwide Campuses now are offering graduate degrees.
The Day Campus welcomed 1,037 students, surpassing last year's enrollment, which was the highest in decades. The continued increase in Day Campus enrollment also led to the highest number of residential students in many years at 366, which is at maximum capacity. Some students who sought to live on campus had to be turned away.
In-seat enrollments for the Evening Campus and Nationwide Campuses at Columbia College declined slightly as many of those students have decided to take online classes exclusively.
Overall, total enrollment at Columbia College for the fall session is up about 5 percent at 12,281 students. Annually, Columbia College serves nearly 25,000 students at its Day Campus, Evening Campus, Nationwide Campuses, Online Campus and Graduate Studies Program.
The incoming freshman class at Columbia College includes nearly 200 students. Academically, the class holds an average ACT score of 22.5, as well as an average grade point average of 3.1. This year's freshmen represent 11 states and 12 countries.
In addition, 157 students transferred to Columbia College from other institutions for fall 2006-a 15 percent increase from 2005.
The college was founded in 1851 as Christian Female College and was renamed Columbia College in 1970 when it became coeducational.

5 'Secure' Places That Are Shockingly Easy to Break Into
If movies are to be believed (and as a general rule they are), being a master criminal takes an insane amount of work and long planning sessions. That's why we're not master criminals -- who has that kind of time? Not you, you're too busy watching all those movies.
Fortunately for the burgeoning criminal, it turns out that some of the biggest and most daring crimes require surprisingly little effort. Just look at how easily people have done things like ...
#5. Breaking into the Vatican
Spencer Platt/Getty Images News/Getty Images
Security at the Vatican is tight. After all, it is home to one of the most powerful religious leaders in the world, and despite what you may think, people try to kill the pope all the time (John Paul II was attacked by assassins twice in the span of one year). So you wouldn't think that somebody would be able to just walk in because they were wearing a homemade bishop's costume. You'd be wrong.
Seems legit.
This past March, when a bunch of cardinals from around the globe convened at the Vatican to pick the new pope, a German guy named Ralph Napierski managed to bluff his way inside just by wearing a bishop outfit he had clearly assembled from a dusty hope chest full of his mother's old clothing 10 minutes before leaving his house. Napierski's master deception consisted of a cassock that was too short for him, a purple women's scarf tied around his waist in place of the traditional bishop's vestment, and a fedora instead of one of those colored holy skullcaps that literally every member of the church's upper hierarchy would be wearing on such an occasion. This would be like showing up at the Pentagon wearing an extra-small Coast Guard uniform and a bowler hat.

Further proof that men in fedoras should be avoided at all costs.
He posed for photos in St. Peter's Square alongside tourists and other actual high-ranking clergymen before strolling through a heavily guarded checkpoint using nothing but his slapdash thrift store disguise and an alleged membership in the Italian Orthodox Church, which is a church that doesn't actually exist.
In the Vatican's defense, there were over a hundred other cardinals milling around. It's probably pretty tough to spot an impostor amid all that ordained finery. However, we hasten to point out that one of the aforementioned attempts on Pope John Paul II's life was made by a man who was dressed like a priest. This should be something that every Vatican guard specifically watches for, not some so-crazy-it-just-might-work idea that takes them completely by surprise.

"OK, guys, 'Let God sort them out' is not a valid vetting strategy."
Napierski was finally stopped just before making it inside the actual pope-voting chamber, and was escorted away by guards (which is a hell of a lot closer than you'd think a self-declared bishop in a slapped-together costume would get).
#4. Hacking Government Computers
We assume that the computer systems at the top level of U.S. government agencies must have every security feature known to man. We're talking complicated webs of passwords and clearance protocols, as well as several anti-virus subscriptions and bulletproof outer casings at the very least. This is because government systems are constantly being attacked -- there is literally an entire unit in the Chinese army specifically dedicated to hacking into as many as they can on a daily basis. Even though the majority of those attacks are rebuffed, the sheer volume of them has gotten so bad that the U.S. recently made a public statement asking China to knock it off.
But it turns out China is just going about its cyberespionage the wrong way. A test by Homeland Security in 2011 proved that it is incredibly easy to get into a government computer, to the point of a near 100 percent success rate, with absolutely no advanced code-breaking knowledge of any kind. All you have to do is drop a bunch of malicious software on the ground outside a government building like a trollish Johnny Appleseed.
"Apple-dee-do-da, apple-dee-ay
I'm gonna hack your PC today!"
We mean that literally -- Homeland Security agents littered the parking lots of several government buildings with random USB drives and computer disks. The disks themselves contained a harmless application, but most of them were unlabeled. Others were in cases with official-looking logos stamped on the front, but still gave no indication as to what was actually stored on the disks inside. Of the government employees who found the drives and disks lying on the ground, 60 percent of them walked right inside the building and stuck them into their office computers -- you know, those highly secure machines carrying sensitive government information.
Worse yet, a staggering 90 percent of the disks with an official logo on it were installed, because nothing with a logo on it could ever be dangerous. Evidently top-level government security training programs consist of teaching employees that any viruses and system-crippling malware will be clearly labeled as such, and that every international terrorist will look exactly like Boris Badenov. Consequently, it appears that all you need to infiltrate secure U.S. government systems is a box of rewritable media and a screen printing machine.
"Sorry, Edward Jizzerhands bootleg, but I've got a revolution to start."
#3. Emptying Someone's Bank Account

Since basically every bank and credit card company uses PIN numbers to access your cash, they must be pretty effective. After all, a four-digit PIN has 10,000 possible combinations, so the chances of a pickpocket successfully guessing your PIN to use the debit card from your stolen wallet is pretty much zero ... is what we would say if everyone on the planet didn't use the same four numbers to unlock the entirety of their financial reserves.
Congratulations, we're a Mel Brooks joke.
Yes, due to humanity's utter lack of creativity and overabundance of laziness, a large percentage of us are walking around with the exact same codes to unlock every dollar we have to our names. And the codes are incredibly simple -- a whopping 11 percent of people use the PIN "1234," 6 percent use "1111," and 2 percent use "0000," because in this day and age, who has time to do more than just hammer one button repeatedly?
Jupiterimages/Goodshoot/Getty Images
"Hurry up, I've got kids to neglect."
Even if you're feeling proud that your PIN hasn't been listed yet, don't get too cocky -- the top 20 most common four-digit passcodes account for almost 27 percent of PIN numbers, meaning about one-quarter of all PIN numbers in existence can be flat-out guessed in 20 tries or less by anyone who has that list. These include numbers like "7777," "1212," and "6969," because people do embarrassingly stupid things all the time, and protecting their financial information is no exception. Were you born in the 1900s? Good job, so was everyone else, which is why all combinations starting with "19" rank high on the list. And most thieves have the sense to start trying birth years to crack your PIN, which they can do within 61 tries 33 percent of the time.
For some reason, the least common PIN appears to be "8068," or at least it was until we ran this article. You're welcome, "8068"-ers. Maybe you should start keeping your money in a hollow mattress.

I know I probably don't have many "regular viewers" yet, but...
Do you have any particular requests? Might as well see what people are interested in before I make too many plans :) Please, leave me comments galore!
9 comments:
I would love to see brushes! Maybe some good comparisons. Oooo, what about EDM e/s and blushes!ReplyDelete
I hadn't even thought of EDM - good call! And I can definitely do brush reviews, though I tend to be a bit of a minimalist in terms of brushes (i.e., I have many overall, but no two that serve the same purpose)! But I'll see what I can do ;-) thanks for the suggestions!!ReplyDelete
Oh, I had another idea. What about something about pressing! Maybe you could do something on pressing the EDM blushes! Also, if I can do any guest swatching for you let me know. Any excuse to go to my MAC local Pro Store, Shu store or counters is welcome!ReplyDelete
Great - I can definitely do pressing :) Thanks for all the ideas! And you're welcome to do any guest swatching you want :) I'll try to figure out what areas are lacking... I know Temptalia and Karla have most of the collection launches covered, so I'll try to figure out what parts of some of our favorite lines have holes in them as far as swatches are concerned.ReplyDelete
Great idea!!ReplyDelete
I would love to see Nars blushes and/or eyeshadows : )ReplyDelete
Hey Lindsay! Are you the same person who requested the NARS blushes once before? I actually tried to swatch them all in Sephora the other day - had spoken with the manager in advance, they were totally cool with it, I'd partitioned off my own little corner of the floor to sit and swatch and take pics... and then my mom called me and was really upset with me about something so I had to leave suddenly. In any case, I haven't forgotten, and I do hope to be able to do that soon! Thanks for the suggestion!ReplyDelete
Well, I don't know what to ask yet, but I love your blog. Very comprehensive one.ReplyDelete
Thank you, Vichaya! :)ReplyDelete
All comments are welcome, but if you are here to spam your link, your comment will be deleted. Please be respectful. Thanks!

Can I use a card with bloodrush in response to something?
For example:
If an evil opponent wants to kill my attacking Skarrg Guildmage with an Izzet Charm can I discard Scorchwalker and use it's ability to save my guildmage?
Can I use a card with bloodrush in response to something?
For example:
If an evil opponent wants to kill my attacking Skarrg Guildmage with an Izzet Charm can I discard Scorchwalker and use it's ability to save my guildmage?
Yes. All activated abilities are at instant speed unless they specifically indicate otherwise*. Because the ability is written with a colon, it is an activated ability. It does not need to be on the battlefield to be activated, and your opponent does not need to know it exists to activate it (although you must reveal it, obviously). In this particular cast, you're discarding the card as part of the cost. That's the only reason you have to discard the card. If it didn't say discard, you could activate the ability as many times as you wanted.
This is spelled out in 112.3b, emphasis mine.
Compare this to the rules text for instants,
So the timing for activated abilities is the same as the timing for instants.
As for it being in your hand, this is spelled out here:
Note: I said specifically indicate otherwise. This specification does not need to be on the card. For example, the Comprehensive Rules state that planeswalker activate abilities can only be activated on your turn at sorcery speed, but this is not stated on the card.
"Bloodrush" has no rules meaning (as indicated by the use of italics), but it's only used on activated abilities (that can be activated from your hand), and you can activate activated abilities whenever you have priority ("instant speed").
So yes, you can activate Bloodrush abilities in response to instants like Izzet Charm. They will resolve before the instant, so the Scorchwalker in your hand can save your Skarrg Guildmage.
Yes, your Bloodrush would stack on top of Izzit Charm and thus resolve before the damage. Bloodrush was specifically designed to be used in the combat phase, at instant speed and only on target attacking creatures.
Also note that because this is an activated ability, this should go without saying but is still questioned again and again, cannot be countered by counter-spells. It can however be countered by the following only because Activated Abilities are named.

It's a common proverb that you would see pink elephants if you drink to much.
In particular there is a quite memorable scene from Disney's 1941 "Dumbo" where Dumbo and his mouse companion receive a whole music show from pink elephants after they drank spiked water.
My question is if this proverb was in the English language before that movie or if that movie is somewhat the source of it, it is old enough to be after all.

With the dawning of Star Wars: The Old Republic, Star Wars: Galaxies, aka "that other old MMO," is headed for extinction. The game is going to wind up with a gigantic PvP throwdown for dominance settling once and for all (sorta) who runs the galaxy, Empire or Rebels. Here's how it will be scored.
It's not winner-take-all, like the U.S. Electoral college. Each region will account for a percentage of the entire in-world territory. Thus, if the Empire triumphs 60 percent to 40 percent in a territory worth 5 percent of the galaxy, they get a net score, for lack of a better term, of 3 percent, the Rebels 2 percent. It's going to be a weighted measure, in other words.
As the game's community relations staff further explains:
"Meanwhile, let's say Region Two is worth 3%, and that in this same period of time three Imperials earn 50 GCW [Galactic Civil War] points in the region and no Rebels show up at all. Region Two would give the Imperials a full 3% in the galaxy score for next to no effort compared to Region One. All regions matter!"
The Galactic Civil War is currently raging; it's not going to be fought in a day, and nothing's been decided yet. The Star Wars: Galaxies team has built in some controls to keep things equitable up until Dec. 15, when the game goes dark. Though the Empire or the Rebellion will be declared the victor then, no one, really, wins in this outcome.
Winning the Galactic Civil War [Star Wars Galaxies]
