|Needed HM:
Pokéstar Studios is an area in southwestern Unova situated north of Virbank City whose function as a movie studio replaces the Pokémon Musical function of Black and White in Pokémon Black and White Versions 2, allowing the player to choose a script and enact various scenes to create a movie. Roxie's father appears in one movie but fails to obtain a good ending. The bad outcome makes him give up on an acting career. Sabrina co-stars with you in the Mystery Doors of the Magical Land series and Brycen in the Brycen-man series created in the PStudios.
Making movies
To make a movie, the player walks into an area with a green screen and faces a person in a motion capture suit. Here the player enters a battle scene where he/she uses their Pokémon against the character in the motion capture suit.
In battle, the player will get a variety of script options to follow and these options will determine the course of the movie. Once the script is run through, the movie is complete and the player can watch the result.
Special Shine
After you've completed a movie, you have the ability to enter the movies with your own Pokémon. However, if you deviate from the script and say things out of character but ultimately don't fail the mission, then you will get the "Strange" ending of the movies. An example would be defeating Brycen-man's Pokémon within the "Brycen-man Strikes Back" movie.
If you successfully accomplish this, your Pokémon will have a special intro animation that will show a star bouncing upwards as the Pokémon enters battle.
This also will make the crowd happier if the Pokémon with the special shine is in another movie.
If your shiny party Pokémon participate in "strange" ending movies then their sparkling upon entering battle will no longer appear, instead being replaced by the bouncing star introduction only.
It is removed in X & Y
Pokéstar Studios debuted in the anime episode BW084.

I steam my broccoli until it's 'al dente' and some buds turn brown. I've done a small search, but haven't found anything.
I'm thinking maybe the steam is too hot or I'm steaming too long. What do you think?
I steam my broccoli until it's 'al dente' and some buds turn brown. I've done a small search, but haven't found anything.
I'm thinking maybe the steam is too hot or I'm steaming too long. What do you think?
further to SAJ14SAJ's answer, what happens is the Magnesium atom in the bright green Chlorophyll is lost in acidic conditions and you end up with Pheophytin which is Olive Green.
There are other reactions at play mediated by the enzyme Chlorophyllase which can be active even in frozen storage.
The main reason for blanching (hot water part) is to stop this enzyme's activity. The ice bath is to stop the cooking process and the magnesium loss.
This short presentation from Purdue University explains this along with the molecular structure if you're interested.
The presentation states that green vegetables are blanched to end enzyme activity, to preserve the natural green colour.
Per the transcript of Alton Brown's Good Eat's episode If It Ain't Broccoli, Don't Fix It:
This would let other pigments reveal themselves, turning making the appearance of your broccoli yellowish or brownish. Your picture shows that the individual florets seem to be most effected, which are the smallest and easiest parts to cook on the broccoli.
So it may simply be an issue of overcooking the little florets.
Later in the transcript, Brown recommends a hybrid method of cooking, giving different treatment to the stalks and florets to minimize this effect.
According to The Happy Scientist, raising the pH with baking soda will prevent the enzymes from effecting the chlorophyll, but this would be difficult to apply when steaming, and of course it also would have the unfortunate side effect of turning the broccoli mushy.
Personally, I prefer to roast broccoli rather than steam it. It is a little slower, but can be very effective, and of course, a different type of browning is somewhat expected :-)
well the brown is from oxidation(just about anything can be oxidized) by the exposure to water.
Yellow on the other hand is most likely from the broccoli starting to have blossoms in the florets that eventually produce seeds.

Cordless blinds and shades offer a convenient and safe option now available on most styles of window treatments. Instead of a traditional lift cord, the shade is operated with a gentle push or pull on the bottom rail to position the shade at any height. With no dangling cords, shades are safer for children and pets and have a clean, uncluttered look. Simply select the cordless option when customizing your shade and be sure you can reach the window at the maximum height you would raise the shade - if not, consider a motorized window treatment.

Before Luna Guitars, founder Yvonne de Villiers was a stained-glass artist and it shows in her designs. Inspired by the struggles her petite mother had in the 60's finding an appropriate bass guitar for her petite stature and tastes, Yvonne founded Luna Guitars in 2005 to make stringed instruments that are comfortable and inspiring for musicians of all sizes. Each Luna Guitars design is a balance between visual appeal, good sound and an affordable price, and the balance is well struck. For example, the Safari Starry Night ¾ size travel acoustic guitar is a true masterpiece you can take with you anywhere. Featuring the image of Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh on the spruce top and a blue mahogany back and sides, this compact instrument is great for young players and for bringing along to play at parties. The sound is great for the size and price.
If an acoustic-electric guitar is more your style, the Fauna Butterfly is worth a look. An abalone butterfly and mother-of-pearl flower design decorates the quilted maple top, making this a really aesthetically pleasing instrument. The maple back and sides give the body a good tone, and the built-in B-Band preamp with 4-band EQ and a digital tuner is a convenient addition.
Although many musical instruments are beautiful, some cross the line into works of art. The Vista Wolf acoustic-electric is one of Luna Guitars' highest-quality instruments made from blackwood, padauk, koa, flame maple, cocobolo, maple burl and movinui. This stunning, colorful selection of woods are cut and arranged to show a wolf howling at the moon, rising over a mountain range. Besides the striking top, other perks include a beautiful cocobolo back and sides, as well as a B-Band T-55 preamp/tuner for a simply stunning sound.
Luna Guitars is unique in their offering of truly unique and often wild colors and designs on their guitars. Any musician who's tired of the same old look will find these instruments exciting and refreshing, and above all else, musically inspiring.

Have you now spoken to him?
I really heard that from someone.
I really heard that from someone.
There really is nothing wrong with it grammatically. But the context makes a difference on how apt it is.
The now implicitly indicates that there was a then. In other words, this is a continuation of a previous conversation (in most cases) where you perhaps mentioned that you wanted to speak to "him" or tried to speak to him and failed. The now questions whether you have been successful in speaking to him at this point in time.
A better example could be in a speech:
... and a few hours later
A variant of this usage could be somebody else situated elsewhere noting:
It's true that on average, "Have you now [done X]?" will be preferred over "Have you [done X] yet?", so non-native speakers who don't have a firm grasp of the distinction would be safest sticking to the former.
It's also true that in many contexts there's no meaningful distinction - so again, you may as well use the more common form.
Of course, there's no requirement to use either "temporal qualifier" - at the bare semantic level, "Have you [done something]?" is all you need to say.
But if "now" or "yet" is included, it emphasises the "temporal context". In the case of "now", obviously the focus is on whether the present time includes the attribute X has been done. With "yet" (or the alternative phrasing "Did you [do X]"), the focus is more on whether or not you did X at some point in the past.
In some contexts therefore, OP's usage of "now" can be seen as "deferential" and/or "confirmatory" in that it's more about objectively assessing the current situation, rather than subjectively judging the other person on the basis of whether he's got around to doing something the speaker expected (or indeed, required) him to do.
In one particular context, the handy pattern is:
"Yet" is an adverb that means "so far" or "up until now."
I suppose what you heard might have been an alteration of:
Some people, non-native speakers, also tend to mistakenly substitute "already" in the first example:
which means a completely different thing.

1970 Supernova Chevy Nova Gets Glass - Straight 'N' FlushWritten by on January 1, 2009 Contributors: Courtesy of Air Ride Technologies You Don't Need To Top Vegas Odds To Snaz Up Your Ride With Flush-Fit Glass. With The Help Of Precision Coachworks, We Show You How To Do It Yourself.
Things are a trickling. If hot rodders are a bunch of power-hungry piranhas, it's race-inspired technology permeating into the mainstream-such as cutting-edge engine coatings, billet aluminum blocks, and various titanium doohickeys-that usually make us bite. As it turns out, however, the trickle-down effect isn't just limited to performance parts. Adapting some elements of the street rodding scene, without fully committing to its mandatory membership at the temple of chrome and polish, certainly has its benefits. Say what you will about how the typical '32 Ford is (or is not?) used, but there's no disputing that street rods represent the pinnacle of automotive craftsmanship. Spending hundreds of thousands of dollars building a car for the sole purpose of pleasing a judge has a way of doing that. Not that we'd ever promote such a silly practice, but the same fastidious attention to detail can work brilliantly when applied to muscle cars.
For proof, just take a look at Air Ride's project Supernova, which is the giveaway car for the 2009 Goodguys show season. Its shaved driprails and flush-mounted front and rear windshields add a subtle yet undeniably amped-up aesthetic appeal. The look is so slick, it's as if the reworked sheetmetal is conspiring with air molecules to cut aerodynamic drag and stick it to the OPEC bastards. Of course, this mod won't really reduce your car's drag coefficient, but it is a hot topic we see floating on the Internet and in our inbox. Does the procedure require bigger glass? Is it as easy as getting busy with a cutoff wheel? How much welding is required? How do you keep the roof from warping and shifting? To find out, follow along with Kurt Blackgrove, Dennis Neihaus, and Shane Wagner of Precision Coachworks as they perform the procedure on Air Ride's '70 Nova.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
While not quite as noticeable with certain color schemes, Supernova's original combination of green paint and a white vinyl top made its driprails and chrome window trim stick out in hideous fashion. The best method of removing the trim from around the windshields is with a trim removal tool designed specifically for windshields and doors. It's a flat metal piece with a hook that slides underneath the trim and disengages the retaining clip when pulled toward the car's body.Removing the factory driprail-which extends all around the side glass on '68-72 Novas-is far more involved than going to town with a cutoff wheel. Since the sail panel and roof panel areas will separate from the rest of the body after the cut is made, Kurt suggests working in small 6- to 8-inch sections. Cutting the entire driprail off at the same time will cause the entire roof panel to shift.The seam that was created as a consequence of cutting off the driprail must be MIG-welded shut. Using a hammer and dolly helps bring the two pieces of metal closer together and to tighten up the seams as much as possible. Unless the glass sealant is thoroughly removed with a wire-wheel and brush, the metal will be impossible to weld.To minimize metal distortion and the amount of final bodywork that will be required, tack welds were first laid down in 1-inch increments. Kurt also recommends welding outward from the center of the seam instead of welding from one side to another.After the entire driprail has been removed and all welding has been completed, the next step is grinding the weld down. For grinding in the small crevasses near the rear side glass, Kurt prefers using a die grinder with a rotary bit. On the larger areas, a right-angle grinder or a 1/4-inch cutoff wheel works very effectively.Grinding creates heat, which can warp metal very quickly. To avoid having to lay down gobs of body filler, it's best to continually move across the seam in large strokes. This prevents localized hot spots, which is another reason why the entire driprail should be removed before grinding the welds flat.Removing the driprail and welding in filler pieces on the rear window wreaked havoc on the lead Chevy used from the factory to smooth the seams between the roof and quarter-panel. A very skilled and very patient craftsman can re-lead this area, but it is much easier to remove the entire lead section and fabricate a patch panel. Since lead can't be welded, and body filler won't stick to it, Kurt says a patch panel is the best solution.No matter how close to perfect the metalwork may be, it will probably still require some body filler. Kurt shoots for a maximum thickness of 1/8 to 3/16 inch. Since sanding down high spots with 40-grit paper is much easier than having to repeatedly apply filler to address low spots, Kurt lays down a double coat right from the get-go.In contrast to the welding portion of the driprail removal, it's much easier to apply body filler over an entire area all at once. It usually takes 10-15 minutes for filler to cure, but using less hardener buys extra time and makes for easier sanding. Kurt prefers marine-grade fillers, which he says spread easier and are less likely to develop pinholes.
To help mock the front and rear windshields into place, eight temporary pedestals were welded on each window frame. Simply nuts with bolts threaded through them, they allow adjusting both the height and depth of the windshield in relation to the frame. Before final bodywork began, the pedestals were removed.After the glass was centered, measurements were taken to determine the dimensions of the filler panels that will be needed to eliminate large gaps between the edge of the glass and the body. Making the windshields completely flush with the frame required moving them outward approximately 3/16 inch with a thick bead of urethane sealer.Out back, the glass was moved upward in the hole by 1/2 inch. This, in conjunction with the trim removal, left a large gap between the sides and bottom of the glass and the body. To fill this void, Kurt fabbed up a 1/2-inch-thick L-shaped fill panel out of 18-gauge steel, bent it in a brake, and stitch-welded it onto both sides.A 3/4-inch flat piece of steel fills in the area beneath the bottom of the glass. For master fabricators like the crew at Precision Coachworks, building fill panels is much easier than the hassle of trying to fill the window frames with larger custom-sized windshields.After completing all the bodywork, it was time to install the glass. The thick bead of urethane caulk that was used sets up in one hour, and moved the window outward slightly to sit perfectly flush with the body. The masking tape applied to the edge of the glass keeps excess urethane at bay.After the glass was set into place, Kurt applied another bead of urethane around the edge of the glass with the same urethane caulk, smoothed off the excess with his finger, and let it set up. Any caulk that strayed onto the external glass surface was cleaned with lacquer thinner. Finally, the tape was removed from around the edge of the glass.Installing the front glass was no different than the procedure used out back. In an effort to prevent the glass from sliding into the opening, masking tape attached from the glass to the roof provided an inexpensive insurance policy.Since the top of the front windshield followed the contours of the window frame so nicely, Kurt slid it upward as far as possible. This resulting 1-inch gap beneath the glass was filled in with a custom 18-gauge panel that was glued to the cowl. He says that taking the time to make a good template out of poster board prior to cutting the metal makes it much easier to fab the filler panel.

God damn Russell Brand handles himself SO fucking well in situations like this. I saw something awhile back where he was talking to a Nazi or something.
That said, those Westboro Baptist fucks live around here and I see them all the time. REAL pieces of shit.
Someone tell Obama to turn the damn science slider down a few clicks, this is getting out of hand!
But seriously, delete some fucking military units America, it's getting pretty retarded.
Watched the Brand thing this morning and it was disturbing as fuck. I'm not sure how I feel about that interview having taken place. It's not like you can reason with them. The only sane response is to make fun of them, and even then coming up with jokes about them isn't exactly a challenging mental exercise. People like that genuinely scare the shit out of me. They're just so sure that they're right.
I would say that the Romans had the right idea when they fed such insane cultists to the lions. But no. The lions deserve better.
Egypt's Leader Is Crucial Link in Gaza Deal
The White House phone log tells part of the tale. Mr. Obama talked with Mr. Morsi three times within 24 hours and six times over the course of several days, an unusual amount of one-on-one time for a president. Mr. Obama told aides he was impressed with the Egyptian leader's pragmatic confidence. He sensed an engineer's precision with surprisingly little ideology. Most important, Mr. Obama told aides that he considered Mr. Morsi a straight shooter who delivered on what he promised and did not promise what he could not deliver.
The Egyptian side was also positive about the collaboration. Essam el-Haddad, the foreign policy adviser to the Egyptian president, described a singular partnership developing between Mr. Morsi, who is the most important international ally for Hamas, and Mr. Obama, who plays essentially the same role for Israel.
"Yes, they were carrying the point of view of the Israeli side but they were understanding also the other side, the Palestinian side," Mr. Haddad said in Cairo as the cease-fire was being finalized on Wednesday. "We felt there was a high level of sincerity in trying to find a solution. The sincerity and understanding was very helpful."
So wheres that picture you promised you'd post.
I won't help you with the specifics because when a person promises, you'd like to think they'd know.
Oh yeah, that.
Almost forgot to put up that picture of my girlfriend. After I hit that I'm all like:
And following the aforementioned Israel continues doing Israel things.
Closer to home, Hostess execs continue to do Hostess exec things.
I like the way increasing settlement building is their revenge, as if they weren't going to do it at some point anyway.
I hope the Palestinians do try to chase them through the ICC. I know they wouldn't get very far with it because America would just put pressure on the court but still it'd be interesting to see Israel challenged on some of the stuff it's done.
It's also important to keep in mind what the UN Charter says about the act of granting statehood before people get too excited about this General Assembly vote:
"The recognition of a new State or Government is an act that only other States and Governments may grant or withhold. It generally implies readiness to assume diplomatic relations. The United Nations is neither a State nor a Government, and therefore does not possess any authority to recognize either a State or a Government."
I meant more the questions any attempt to get anything done at the ICC would raise more than actual persecutions.
The ICJ would be the appropriate forum for that, as opposed to the ICC.
Yes I'm that guy.

Glad to see the comments section isn't buying it either.
McConnell's days of relevancy are drawing to a close. Come the new session of Congress, Reid will finally unload the nuclear option and pass filibuster reform with only a 51-vote majority. McConnell will rue the day he went back on that gentlemen's agreement with Reid to filibuster less. What we are seeing now is the swan song of an obstructionist. We're finally getting filibuster reform so that the Senate can function again, and there's nothing McConnell can do to stop it.
"But it won't be a handshake," Reid added. "We tried that last time; it didn't work."
EDIT: This comment on the link is appropriate:
They're like a fucking 6 year old. We gave the little shit a squirt gun for his birthday and what does he do? Fills it with gasoline and turns his little sister into a blazing yule log.
Yeah, I think it's time to take the squirt gun away.

Evolution Hoax
Ever since it has been reported in the press, Mr. Adnan Oktar is making calls for peace in his live broadcast on A9TV and on Twitter regarding the relations between the AK Party and the Fethullah Gülen community.
Reminding of the fact that a spirit of disunity and conflict is ruling over the whole world, Mr. Adnan Oktar emphasized that it is of the highest importance for our people to avoid falling into such a trap. All these calls Mr. Adnan Oktar made had a broad repercussion ever since the first day they were issued.
Mr. Adnan Oktar's calls, inviting our people to common sense and to a soothing attitude in the face of such conflicts and to take steps as Muslims to disrupt the tricks being played on Turkey, had a very positive impact on some circles who - prior to these calls - made provocative statements that might inflame the dissension instead of calming troubled waters. Thousands of people supported the Hashtags calling for peace Mr. Adnan Oktar started on Twitter. On the other hand, Mr. Adnan Oktar's statements created broad repercussions in the media:

What's the average power level ("rank", p.55 MtAw) of mages in Mage: The Awakening?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
A typical build for a newbie mage is 3 in one arcanum, 2 in another, and 1 in a third. So this is probably a good baseline for "common mage with a little experience or a little talent, but nothing special." Let's say that's the 25th percentile.
Looking at the NPCs in the M:tA book, their highest arcana are 3, 4, 3, 4, and 5, but most have several arcana at or near that level, too. They seem to favor broad skills over maxing out one or two arcana. These are supposed to be major figures in a major city, so I'd take that to mean they're near the top of the pyramid, around the 95th percentile.
So if the median is a little higher than a newly-minted mage but closer to that than to the sample NPC, a typical mage is probably 3, 2, 2, 1; 3, 3, 1; or 4, 2.
The real answer for NPCs that the players actually encounter is "a little higher than any PC." If an NPC can't do anything the PCs can't do for themselves, they're probably not going to be interested in him as an ally. If an antagonist isn't more powerful than each PC alone, she won't be much of a threat for the group. In general; a clever storyteller can make a mundane human a very dangerous opponent.

Top 10: Pre-Workout Foods
Easy Pre-Workout Meals To Try Next Time You Hit The Gym
10. Muscle OatsRecipe: 1/2 cup steel-cut oats with 1 scoop whey protein
Credit: Stacy Spensley / Flickr
Best for: Endurance exercises. Consume one to two hours before exercise.
Calories: 420; Protein: 33 g; Fat: 7 g; Carbs: 57 g; Sugars: 2 g
Steel-cut (Irish) oats are the least-processed type of oat cereal and have a lower glycemic load compared to quick-cooking and instant oats. Steel-cut oats take a bit more time to cook and they're a more hearty, chewy cereal and a great pre-workout meal. If you're not crazy about the texture or extra cooking time, old-fashion rolled oats have very similar nutritional qualities and the same glycemic impact as steel-cut oats.
9. Veggie OmeletRecipe: 2 whole eggs, 2 egg whites, peppers, onions, mushrooms, grapefruit/oatmeal
Best for: Muscle-building. Consume one to two hours before exercise. For circuit training or more cardio, add a grapefruit or 1/2 cup rolled oats.
Calories: 321; Protein: 26 g; Fat: 18 g; Carbs: 13 g; Sugars: 6.47 g
This classic omelet is perfect for those who head to the gym soon after breakfast. As far as whole foods go, eggs have the highest bioavailable proteins. Proteins are given a biological value that measures a protein's ability to be used by the body. Eggs are used as the gold standard with a biological value of 100.
8. Turkey Leaf Wrap
Best for: Muscle building. Consume 30 minutes to one hour before exercise. For circuit training or more cardio, use a whole-grain wrap instead of the collard green leaf.
Credit: Liz Mc / Flickr
Recipe: 4 oz turkey chunks or slices, 1 large collard green leaf, purple onion, red pepper, small tomatoes, 1 tbsp deli mustard. Smear the leaf with the mustard and top with the remaining ingredients. Roll and pin with a toothpick.
Calories: 184; Protein: 28 g; Fat: 3 g; Carbs: 13 g; Sugars: 6 g.
Turkey is a lean source of protein that is easily digested and won't cause any digestive upset during exercise. This variation on the classic wrap uses a large collard green leaf to reduce the calories and carbs, perfect for fat loss programs and muscle-building routines. It is also ideal for those who abstain from grains and gluten.
7. Bodybuilder Lunch ClassicCredit: snowpea&bokchoi / Flickr
Recipe: 6 oz grilled chicken with sweet potato and broccoliBest for: Muscle building and circuit training. Consume two to three hours before exercise.
Calories: 368; Protein: 59 g; Fat: 9 g; Carbs: 37 g; Sugars: 11 g
There's a reason why fitness models and athletes consume this pre-workout meal regularly. Each ingredient is at the top of their class. Lean poultry has high-quality bioavailable protein, sweet potatoes have complex carbs with added antioxidants, and broccoli has a treasure trove of vitamins, minerals and healthful phytochemicals. These foods have everything the body needs to perform at top speed. It's a full meal, though, so don't eat it too close to your workout session.
6. Fruit And Cottage Cheese
Credit: Happy Krissy / Flickr
Recipe: 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese with 1/2 cup fresh berries or melon. Add a banana for endurance.
Best for: Endurance or circuit training. Consume 30-60 minutes before exercise
Calories: 117; Protein: 14 g; Fat: 0.1 g; Carbs: 13 g; Sugars: 6 g
Cottage cheese has no lactose and is considered an excellent source of protein. Blueberries and melons provide the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants needed for your workout. If you need the extra energy for longer endurance, add a banana. Bananas have more carbs than most other fruits and contains potassium, a nutrient that is essential for proper nerve and muscle function. Potassium is important to consider for long, intense sessions, especially if they're done in hot-weather conditions. This low-calorie, easily digestible snack is perfect for bridging the gap between your last meal and your workout.

What is exactly
Gathering Point in
Time Management?
What is the benefits of Gathering Points?
What is exactly
What is the benefits of Gathering Points?
Gathering Point is any place where unprocessed items are gathered -- things like e-mails, ideas, busy work, assignments, projects and so on..
An unprocessed item is one that you have not clearly identified of the following: what to do with it, when to do it, or where it should be done.
If any one of these three things are missing what, when, or where, then the place where that item is located is a Gathering Point.
To begin managing your Gathering Points, create a Gathering Point Worksheet and count how many Gathering Points you have.
6 Gathering Points
The Inbox is is a physical location where your unprocessed items should go: papers, receipts, magazines, books, cables, etc. It's the most important tool for keeping your space organized and should be close to your workspace. It's also important to determine the proper size Physical Inbox.
Portable Inbox
This is simply for the mobile extension inbox. You should take it where ever you go. Papers, pens, your personal stuffs. Like a briefcase, but it is not! It should has more than ones spots.
This is a flexible gathering point. Always carry it in your Portable Inbox. The size is up to you but I suggest A4. Small notepads are bad.
E-Mail Inbox
You should only have one email inbox -- if you have more than one account, consolidate them into one inbox. Most email programs can consolidate multiple accounts, even if they are not from the same domain. (i.e. Gmail can consolidate Yahoo) Here is a link explaining how to do it with Gmail.
Like your email inbox, you should have one voicemail inbox that consolidates all your voicemail accounts. Work voicemail, home voicemail...
Wild Card (Optional Gathering Point)
There are several options for a Wild Card Gathering Point. It's 100% up to you. It could be raw task list, text message inbox, a personal assistant, or a social media website inbox.
A gathering point is basically a place where things collect.
A gathering point could be an e-mail account, a voice mail account, calendars, note books, one note notes ... Anywhere where information that you need to process collects.
The main idea is that if you have very many gathering points you spend alot of time checking them and consolidating information from them.
One video that I saw said that you should have a max of 6 gathering points.

I always wondered, how to setup webhosts manage the website. I wanted to know all the internals. By internals, I mean
- How they manage so many(thousands of) websites?
- How do they setup those? What Hardware & Softwares do they use?
- What security issues do they deal with?
- Setting up Cpanel/one click installer/languages etc.
- ...
- ...
I want to try all these things for myself first on my localhost by hacking hosts file or by setting up a domain server.
If there are any blogs/videos where a real webhost is demonstrated, would be great.

I recently brewed a recipe that called for Carastan malt. My LHBS didn't carry it, so I just used 40 L Crystal. In the finished beer, I'm missing the toffee and toastiness found in the original. Does anyone know of a better substitute? If there aren't really any good substitutes, where is a good place that I can find it online?
Crystal 15L would have been a closer sub I think, even though the carastan is around 30-35L. I don't think there is a real good substitute for it. There aren't a lot of malts like it, and I don't see too many people use it. I put it in an Ordinary Bitter last year and it does have a nice toffee aroma to it.
A combo of C15 and some special roast might get you in the ball park. C40L is more caramel than toffee to me.
In the UK you can buy Carastan in homebrew shops. The main supplier seems to be Baird's malt :
I haven't seen it for sale online though (I will keep looking since I am also after some).

When choosing cards for a deck, one of the most important things to consider is the number of land you put in. The biggest issue is mana curve, of course. What shortcuts are best for determining the proper amount of land with a given mana curve?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Basically, you're trying to find an optimal balance between "I need mana to play my spells in a timely fashion" and "I want to draw active cards all the time (which usually means spells)."
For me, it boils down to a question of which lands drops do you need to make "on time".
Because players start with an opening hand of several cards but subsequently draw one card per turn (typically), your access to mana isn't linear. On turn 1, you've already seen about 7 cards (and you can mulligan bad hands); making your first land drop is pretty easy even with only a dozen lands in your deck. By turn 4, you've seen only three more cards, so making your fourth land drop (which implies that you also made your first, second, and third ones on time, by the way) reliably now demands that something like 40+% of your deck be land.
It gets even worse for decks trying to stick a six-drop on turn 6: on the face of it, it seems like you'd want over 50% of a deck to be lands! "Real" decks don't do that, though. Instead, decks that top out with some lethal six-drop either play ramp spells or other tricks to get there earlier, or they don't actually fret about resolving one on turn 6 (control decks with cards like Aetherling and Consecrated Sphinx, for instance, are more concerned with getting the mana for timely board control spells, like Supreme Verdict, than actually casting their finisher ASAP).
One important subtlety here is that which cards you need to cast "on time" actually varies depending on your matchup. For example, you might have a combo deck that can reliably "go off" with just two lands, but needs additional mana in order to play counterspells, targeted discard, or redundant combo pieces to overcome disruption. Likewise, in a control mirror, making your land drops is very important, because you need to play a threat and then back it up with your other spells.
As far as general rules of thumb:
The general rule of thumb is about 22 - 24 lands for most 60 card decks. Some decks can get away with less due to low curve (for example one drop zoo) and some may need more depending on the situation. Of course there are always extreme exemptions like char belcher which runs a grand total of one land or manaless dredge which runs none.
It totally depends on the mana curve in your actual deck. A good starting point is 33-40% lands for most Constructed decks. For Limited, you typically want a little more, 40-45%. That being said, there will of course always be decks that require more or fewer lands, and without testing, a definite number is hard to pin down.

The state education commissioner threatened Friday to withhold hundreds of millions of dollars in federal aid unless New York City showed it was prepared to put a new teacher-evaluation system in place, ratcheting up pressure on the city a day after a deal on new evaluations fell apart.
Commissioner John King said the city would forfeit more than $250 million in federal Race to the Top money and lose control of $830 million in other federal funds if it didn't submit a plan by Feb. 15 that showed how it would train and prepare school leaders and teachers for a new, complex system for grading teachers. That would be on top of $250 million already lost after the city and its teachers union failed to come to an agreement Thursday.
It was unclear, however, if the city actually had to have a deal with its union or if it just had to prepare for one.
The threat came on a day filled with more heated rhetoric from Department of Education and United Federation of Teachers officials, who had spent the previous 24 hours arguing over who was to blame for the demise of negotiations. The new system would have incorporated student progress on state tests and replaced a simple system in place for decades that rated the vast majority of teachers satisfactory.
Early in the morning, Gov. Andrew Cuomo confirmed the city had indeed lost the $250 million because it missed the deadline he set last year to rate teachers highly effective, effective, developing or ineffective.
"It's a tragedy, it really is a tragedy, and they both failed," Mr. Cuomo said in a radio interview with Rep. Peter King, who was filling in for WOR host John Gambling. "I don't know who's right, who's wrong, but I know they both failed, because we needed an agreement. And now the education system in the city is going to suffer."
In a sign of the continuing bitterness, UFT President Michael Mulgrew indirectly accused the city of harassing the union by sending inspectors to its headquarters Friday morning. He said the building was "inundated" with inspectors. "I would say the mayor isn't responding well," Mr. Mulgrew said, also in a radio interview with Mr. King.
"You're charging some pretty heavy-handed tactics by the mayor," Mr. King said. "It is what it is," said Mr. Mulgrew.
City officials denied any harassment. "Just another dishonest accusation from Mr. Mulgrew," city spokeswoman Lauren Passalacqua said. "The only city inspector at UFT headquarters this morning was from the Health Department, which had a prescheduled inspection for the cafeteria. It earned an A."
With no evaluation deal in place, the city will revert to its previous system of grading teachers on the up-or-down scale. In 2011-12, 2.6% of teachers received an unsatisfactory rating, while the remaining teachers were rated satisfactory. Critics say the city's system, based on principals' individual opinions, makes it difficult to find and keep the best teachers, help the mediocre ones improve and remove the worst ones.
New York is one of dozens of states moving to adopt new evaluation systems, though there is no consensus on how best to evaluate teachers. Most districts in New York state agreed to a one-year agreement with their unions, but the city refused to do that.
DOE officials explained that if any type of expiration date were attached to an evaluation system, it would invalidate a special provision for the city in state law that makes it easier to fire bad teachers once the agreement expired. Mr. Mulgrew disagreed with their assessment.
In response to the state's threats, city-education officials said they were already training their staff members on the new, more complex evaluations. Mr. Mulgrew said the training wasn't good enough.
Mr. King, the education commissioner, said he realized it was difficult to train people on an evaluation system that didn't yet exist. "I'm sympathetic to that argument, but the problem is the longer they wait to prepare, the longer students will wait for the evaluation system that's needed," he said.
The city's possible, $250 million loss in federal Race to the Top money represents just a portion of the funds the state won from that program. Mr. King said the city's failure to reach an agreement could again jeopardize the state's entire $700 million grant through the Obama administration program.

Bandages and tape are essential items in every home first aid kit to care for injuries from small cuts and scrapes to more serious lacerations. You may also need specialty sizes as well as additional products following surgical procedures and other medical treatments that require fresh bandage or "wound dressing" changes. While there are many sizes of adhesive bandages—commonly thought of by the brand name Band-aids—some wounds, especially large or irregular shaped ones, benefit from dressings made of cotton gauze or gauze pads held in place with medical or surgical tape.
Here are specific products to consider for cleaning and wound dressing:
Cotton has many uses, from cleaning a cut with antiseptic to swabbing or dabbing on skin products. As a soft, pliable material, it's gentle and minimizes any additional trauma to skin. Cotton is available as a roll of highly absorbent cotton fibers, allowing you to pull off what you need, or as cotton balls sold in a package. Large cotton balls, about 1" in diameter, are a good, all-purpose size.
Gauze and gauze sponges can also be used to clean cuts and other wounds before applying a bandage. Some, like Medline woven gauze sponges [2810], can be used over the wound as well. Sponges come in a range of sizes, like 2" x 2", 3" x 3" and 4" x 4" and in many plys or thicknesses, from 4 to 16 ply.
Having a variety of sizes of all-purpose adhesive bandage strips is a must. Among the handiest adhesive bandages are specialty finger shape bandages that work over knuckles and on cuts between the thumb and index finger. They're made to move with your hands, to stay in place better and longer. Always look for the words "non-stick pad" or "non-adherent pad" so that the bandage will come off cleanly without pulling on the wound.
When an adhesive bandage isn't big enough, you may want to start with a non-stick sterile pad. Often the first layer of a wound dressing, the pad can be applied right over the wound. A sterile non-stick pad will cover and protect a wound without adhering to it, so changing the dressing isn't painful and won't reopen the skin. Curad makes a variety of sizes, like the 2" x 3" ouchless non-stick pad that can be used on wounds after surgery, light bleeding, large cuts and scrapes and burns. Made of a soft, perforated mylar bonded to a 100 percent cotton pad that's both highly absorbent and breathable, the pads are available with or without adhesive tabs. Those without tabs can be secured with tape after being wrapped with gauze if desired.
Conforming bandages are rolls of flexible gauze wrap that contour to whatever area of your body needs protection. Look for woven material and finished edges to minimize unraveling. Sof-Form conforming gauze bandages are sterile and latex-free and the combination of rayon and polyester give them stretch memory and make them an ideal secondary dressing on top of a non-adhesive pad, for example, to secure it and provide another layer of protection.
Elastic bandages are lengths of compression material used to provide support for a wound dressing or splint or on its own to stabilize a joint or another area of the body. New advances in elastic bandages mean that you can choose styles with Velcro closures, eliminating the need for clips like the Swift-Wrap elastic bandage with cotton/polyester knit construction for high compression and the Matrix elastic bandage for low compression. The Soft Wrap [2678] is a clip style that works well as a secondary bandage, used to secure a gauze pad or another primary bandage in place when you need to wrap it with a sturdy material. Choose both the width measurement and the length of this type of bandage based on the area it will be applied to.
Another option to secure a gauze pad or bandage is with medical or surgical tape. Tape comes in many different fabrics. Medfix Ortho Porous Tape [2770] is a sports tape with a cotton cloth backing and rubber-based adhesive for strength; its porous construction lets skin breathe. Medline paper tape is a breathable, latex-free tape for sensitive skin, recommended for geriatric needs. Medline also makes a transparent tape that's perforated and allows your doctor to exam your skin without taking off the tape.
Having a range of bandages and tape on hand can prepare you for many unexpected mishaps. Then you can add to your first aid kit as you have specific needs.

This week on Channel 9, Dan and Brian are back to discuss the week's top developer news, including:
Picks of the week!
Oops, something didn't work.
Get a free Kinect from Laura Foy, end up in TWOC9 and http://kinecthacks.net/.
For some reason Youtube won't let me link to http://kinectmidicontroller.codeplex.com/ so I can at least give credit to the guy who wrote the code for the MIDI controller part of this demo.
By the way, you spelled my name wrong
@dentaku: Sorry, fixed the typo
ToneCheck? -- Corporate NewSpeak?
Awesome! Thanks for the mention, guys. More stuff is on the way...
I do the exact same thing Dan does... Dictionaries with a collection as the value type...or worse, as the key. Everytime I do it I think "I'm doing something wrong" but I can't figure out how to do it in any other way. Either that, or I just use a List<T> for everything. That collection class blogpost is going to be a great help.
A good followup post could be about how to pass collections around. FxCop always warns about using Collection<T> when passing stuff around but I can never remember why that's a good idea and when to do it.
Dan getting animated at the 13 minute mark.
@Bas:Interestingly enough the post didn't go into Collection<T> or ReadOnlyCollection<T> which I've definitely gotten too
Is there something wrong with the audio?
If this is your new studio you really should improve the acoustic!
Background looks kind of boring too
Sorry for this kind of feedback, but your show is still the best!
Tonecheck - pointless. Just tell the recipients of your emails to stop being whiny little kids.
Ari Bixhorn? Didn't he make those funny VB.NET movies years ago (before C9)? They were so awesome.
@Rodney McKay: No worries, always appreciate the feedback, there is a little bit of echo in here and I think we can fix that. As we didn't want to dedicate a show to it, I'll give you the breakdown of the studio as it's unique and geeky in its own way.
TLDR version - The new studio is in addition to our existing one, is self-powered, and has a cool app that runs it that will be open sourced soon.
Edit: I should call out that we are adding soundproofing to part of the room too
Self-Service Studio
One issue that we've had is that we have lots of things that want/need to get recorded in the main studio, but a limited amount of time to shoot and edit those videos. So, Larry Larsen, who manages the studio, has been building out our second "self-service" studio. We call it a self-service studio in that there is no camera man or editor, the person on the screen controls the view (camera shot, PC screen capture, picture-in-picture), starts/stops recording and when completed, walks away with a "done" video file so no need to edit.
Why for TWC9?
Editing This Week on Channel 9 is a bit more difficult than most shows since editing involves taking still images of the slides, adding in our intro/outro video, etc so I volunteered us to use this studio going forward since it has everything we need (one camera, PC input) and that gives studio/editing time back to other shows that need multiple cameras or whiteboards or whatever.
Background Design
The background design is actually the same that we've used for Channel 9 Live events at MIX/PDC for the last four years or so. The primary difference is that instead of using plexiglas (perspex if you're Australian) it's a transparent cloth that, like the plexiglass design, uses LED lighting behind it so that light up the background with colors (blue, green, red, white, orange, etc).
The studio has a Datapath screen-capture card, one of our studio cameras, a few wired microphone lavs, and a sound mixer. We also have a simple USB device with buttons to make it easier to control the software. The background has configurable lighting and we could potentially add a way to change in real-time.
On the software side and plugged them all into a custom app that does the recording and the app has keybindings that we use the USB button device to control the source camera, so in the video everything is controlled by me - the dynamic switching between PC, camera, and picture-in-picture, the intro video is embedded into the PowerPoint as is the video at the end (of which you'll notice I cut off accidentally assuming it was done). Jeremiah Morrill and team built the software and we'll be releasing it as an open source app on Coding4Fun at some point once we iron out a few bugs we have.
@ZippyV: Correct! Here's to hoping we see more of Ari on Channel 9
So that's why Brian kept looking at a monitor off in the distance.
Or maybe he just loves looking at himself

Your petulant pseudo-squabbles crack me up!
To Brain,
Regarding the Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4 training courses. The virtual machines for those courses are running Windows Server 2008 which does not support native boot to VHD. For someone like me, who is using a laptop that does not have intel virtualization technology compatible processor, is stuck using Windows Virtual PC 2007. And it's a pain in the asss to do the lab in such a configuration.
Have you considered upgrade the os to Windows Server 2008 R2 to support native booted vhd?
Regards, Jacob
@dentaku:Both are correct, sir!
That's a common misconception with Boot-to-VHD. Boot-to-VHD is
just a file format which can replace the traditional partitioning system.
Boot-to-VHD requires that you run on identical hardware – it's not portable
across different machine configurations, just like you couldn't take the hard
drive out of one computer and put it in another computer. You could if you sysprepped
it, but then that would break all of the ALM software and sample users / data
that's configured on those machines.
The reason they are Windows Server 2008 is so we can ship a
32-bit version. Otherwise people using Virtual PC on Windows wouldn't be able
to use it (it would be limited to Hyper-V on Windows Server). However in the
future for the vNext version of Visual Studio we will likely just ship a
Windows Server 2008 R2 image.
Lab Management requires 64-bit software, so that's why it's a
separate image.
@Dan: Thank you for this detailed information, it's allways interessting to get an inside look of your work. Greetings from Austria/Europe!

Though its well documented under the FAQ of Stack Overflow regarding "How to ask?", "What to ask?", and "What not to ask?" - there are still many (hundreds) of questions every day that get closed, downvoted, and/or deleted - and all have a comment below it showing the FAQ link by experienced users.
So the FAQ hasn't helped new users or existing users post accurate questions which suit this site, and questions that other users can properly understand and answer correctly. Still every day many flags are generated and many questions are closed.
I think there needs to be some changes in the "Ask" page, through which we can force new users to ask question in some fixed pattern.
My idea:
Separate the question into pieces, of which a few of them must be filled out in order to post a question, such as:
- explanation of the problem
- code being used
- error being received
- solutions already tried
- links/images
Many can be added such a way and we can force the user to fill few(specific number) out of them to post a new question.
Every new question has to be approved by at least 1 user having 2k+ or 5k+ reputation in order to be on the Questions list (this one seems to be some what more strict).
Putting this kind of validation before the question gets posted on the site will help keep the site clean, there will be no closed, deleted questions, and there will be fewer flags.
Though the SO Team can decide more what is feasible and what can be done, I don't have any more ideas on what can be done. My point is "Something like this should be done."

FORT RILEY, Kan. (WIBW) -- Close to 160 "Big Red One" soldiers started out vying for one of the Army's most prestigious badges at Fort Riley on April 30th and eleven days later, only 24 were left standing.
Two dozen Army medical professionals were awarded their Expert Field Medical Badges on Thursday, May 10th after an intense training and testing period. Big Red One" soldiers from Fort Riley, Fort Knox and Fort Sill took part in the grueling competition. It has been almost a decade since the event was held at Fort Riley. The graduation ceremony was held at Fort Riley on Thursday, May 10th. Crowds gathered as the remaining candidates received their badges.
Testing included a written test, combat trauma lanes, day and night land navigation and a 12-mile road march in full gear. The road march determined the final badge holders in the competition.
The combat trauma lanes allowed candidates to experience possible real-world scenarios of a combat environment and measured how soldiers provide patient care in a stressful and dangerous environment. They were evaluated and timed on each task by soldiers who have already earned their expert badges.
"This is a highly coveted badge, especially for the Army medical department. They've been through a rigorous train-up period and a testing period which has lasted all week, looking at all kind of areas of medical expertise, the fundamentals of medical training and demonstrating their capabilities in those skill sets. These graduates have really been through the ringer here this past week but they've been working for a long time to achieve this badge and it's a significant achievement for them. It means that they have obtained an expert level in the fundamentals and common skill sets we require our medical soldiers to possess so they can take care of soldiers on the battlefield," said Major General Richard Thomas, Commanding General of the Western Regional Medical Command. Major General Thomas spoke during the ceremony and pinned the badges on each graduate, congratulating them on their accomplishment.
"The Expert Field Medical Badge is a very, very prestigious badge within the medical community. Less than thirty percent of all medical personnel that try for this badge ever earn it," said Sergeant First Class David Meditz, the Non-Commissioned Officer In Charge.
"To earn this badge, the soldiers have to do a multitude of different tasks. They have to do Tactical Combat Casualty Care which basically is our care on the battlefield. It's how our soldiers take care of the wounded soldiers that are out there. They have to prove that they not only know how to do these tasks but that they're experts in their field. In addition to those tasks, they also have what are known as warrior skills. The warrior skills are our standard soldier skills- disassembling weapons, putting weapons back together, disassembling and putting back together radios, also moving under fire, moving in relationship to indirect fire. They also have to do communication skills. They have to know how to do a Medevac request, they have to know how to load our security communication setups within our radios, they have to know how to perform nuclear, biological and chemical contamination reports…We also have to know how to send forward exploded ordinance or unexploded ordinance and IED reports. And the last thing they do and one of the most important things they do is their evacuation skills. They have to know how load and triage patients to get them into a multitude of different evacuation assets, including trucks, ambulances and helicopters," Meditz explained.
"All of our medical soldiers both enlisted and officers can participate and try to earn this badge. All of their jobs are in the medical field. They could be medical supply, medics, nurses, lab techs, medical service corps officers that are in charge of our medical platoons. All of the soldiers out here are medically related. We even have soldiers out here from veterinary command and from our dental command," Sergeant First Class Meditz told WIBW.
Specialist Julie Beebe, an Army medic from Fort Knox, was the only female soldier who received her Expert Field Medical Badge this time around.
"I'm tired right now and want to go home but I'm very happy to have completed it. It was an experience for sure. I feel great that I got the badge. It was good training. Some of the challenges included learning new skills and studying for the tests but it was great getting to know new people from the division here at Fort Riley," she said.
