* ''FACING THE MASK'' and ''RECENT ACQUISITIONS: SELECTIONS FROM THE PERMANENT COLLECTION,'' Museum for African Art, third floor, 36-01 43rd Avenue, Long Island City, (718) 784-7700 (through March 3). The Museum for African Art, formerly of SoHo, makes the leap to a new home in Long Island City, Queens, with a very beautiful if surveyish show titled ''Facing the Mask,'' which happens to be all about moving. Some of the moving is physical, some psychological and spiritual, and it is embodied in more than 70 stunning masks, no two alike, from across sub-Saharan Africa. Some were used for popular entertainment; others were moral forces incarnate. Their purpose was transport, and they are supplemented here by films of masquerades in action. Also on view is a selection of work from the museum's still small but growing permanent collection. Hours: Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturdays and Sundays, 11 to 6 p.m. Admission: $5; $2.50 for students and seniors (Cotter).
''MOVING PICTURES,'' Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 1071 Fifth Avenue, at 88th Street, (212) 423-3500 (through Jan. 12). This survey of photography with a small selection of video, film and installation art appended may be the largest exhibition of its kind in a major New York museum. Drawn almost entirely from the Guggenheim's permanent collection, it has a snappy yet unobtrusive design by Hani Rashid and ably surveys the expansion of contemporary art by camera-dependent media from the late 1960's to now. It begins with works by Nam June Paik, Bruce Nauman and Robert Smithson, then moves up the museum's ramp through photographs by Nan Goldin, Cindy Sherman and Andreas Gursky, concluding with video and film by artists like Stan Douglas, Shirin Neshat and Pierre Huyghe. An added attraction is the foam-lined, cavelike video galleries perched at the top of the spiral, which give the show a giddy, Hall of the Mountain King finale that seems to say ''onward and upward with video.'' Hours: Sundays through Wednesdays, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Fridays and Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Admission: $12; $9 for students and 65+ (Smith)
* ''POUSSIN, CLAUDE AND THEIR WORLD: 17TH-CENTURY FRENCH DRAWINGS FROM THE ÉCOLE DES BEAUX-ARTS, PARIS,'' Frick Collection, 1 East 70th Street, (212) 288-0700 (through Dec. 1). Over the centuries the École des Beaux-Arts, the world's oldest surviving art school (founded in 1648), assembled an enormous collection of works to instruct its students in the discipline of drawing, which it considered paramount to their training. Among the holdings, those from the 17th century, the great age of Nicolas Poussin and Claude Lorrain, are especially outstanding. The 71 on display here survey French drawing from 1620 to 1680, when Classicism came to French art, aiming to restore High Renaissance ideals of clarity, order and balance with the Italian painter Raphael as a revered model. The show's emphasis is on the works of Poussin (1594-1665) and Claude (1604-1682), a history painter and a landscapist respectively. But lesser-known masters like Simon Vouet, Eustache Le Sueur and Charles LeBrun are also included. Wicked doings in the Bible, sex in mythology, the ordered schematics of French architecture and the pomp and circumstance of the French court are some of the subjects covered by these drawings, which should send any aficionado to the Frick on the run. Hours and admissions: Tuesday through Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Fridays, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Sundays, 1 to 6 p.m. Admission: $10; students and 62+, $5 (Glueck).
''WINOGRAND 1964,'' International Center of Photography, 1133 Avenue of the Americas, at 43rd Street, (212) 860-1777 (through Dec. 1). In 1964, the photographer Garry Winogrand crisscrossed America in a slow, black 1957 two-door Ford Fairlaine, taking nearly 20,000 photographs along the way. Here are around 150 of them, most of them never shown before. Some are not terrific. Winogrand was a hit-and-miss artist, and the show could have been edited. But others are great, and together they make a fresh, divinely eccentric portrait of America after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The resonance with 9/11, though obvious, goes unstated. A poor skeptic, Winogrand clearly saw the fragility and the preciousness of what binds people together. Many of the pictures seem fragile, too: they're fleeting stories sometimes so provisional as to be barely coherent, irreducible, like life, to a simple message. They record the effects of new places -- airports, malls, suburbia -- that Winogrand recognized before other photographers, along with the peculiar new rituals they inspired. In Portland, Ore., he found a shopping mall with a skating rink in it; he updated Norman Rockwell by shooting a towheaded boy in a striped shirt standing in the striped shadow of the awning at a Sandy's Jr. drive-up window. And at Dealey Plaza in Dallas, in front of the Book Depository (a famous picture), he focused on the oglers with their postcards and cameras, avoiding whatever might smack of platitudes or ritual mourning. It's a dark-humored image, typical of Winogrand, almost too good to be true but not cruel or without heart. Winogrand captured how America once again transformed catastrophe into commerce, an inevitable but also strangely redemptive process. Hours and admission: Tuesdays through Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Fridays, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturdays and Sundays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission: $9; $6, students and 62+ (Kimmelman).

By 2050, Southwest Forests Projected To See Worst Drought Conditions In At Least 1,000 Years
by Nick Sundt, via WWF
Scientists report in the journal Nature Climate Change that the drought-stress currently being experienced by forests in the Southwestern U.S. "is more severe than any event since the late 1500s megadrought" that "probably led to deaths of a large proportion of trees living at the time."
They warn that climate projections indicate that "the mean forest drought-stress by the 2050s will exceed that of the most severe droughts in the past 1,000 years."
In Temperature as a Potent Driver of Regional Forest Drought Stress and Tree Mortality (by A. Park Williams et al., Nature Climate Change, 30 September 2012), the authors say that the current severe drought event in the Southwest — which extends from 2000 to the present — is the fifth strongest since 1000 AD. They define the Southwest as including Arizona, New Mexico and the southern portions of Utah and Colorado. They attribute the current event both to natural variability and to rising atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases from human activity; and they associate it with "regional-scale declines in canopy greenness and tree survival, due in part to large bark-beetle outbreaks and increasingly large wildfires."
A combination of declining precipitation during the cool season and rising temperatures during the warm season is likely by mid-century to be accompanied by increased forest decline. "If forest drought stress exceeds late 1500 levels, we expect that a lot of trees are going to be dying," says the article's lead research, A. Park Williams (Los Alamos National Laboratory), in a press release on Monday from the U.S. Geological Survey.
"Consistent with many other recent studies, these findings provide compelling additional evidence of emerging global risks of amplified drought-induced tree mortality and extensive forest die-off as the planet warms," said co-author Craig D. Allen, a research ecologist with the U.S. Geological Survey.

My Firefox is reporting Think Progress as an attack site, thought you should know.
Mine as well, Chris.
When you actually go to Google to see what the issue is, TP is given a clean bill of health.
Right wing hacker, perhaps?
We know how paranoid big oil is when it comes to the truth about climate change!
My version of Firefox is doing the same and was not doing so an hour ago – Firefox version is 10.0.7
I've got Firefox 13.0.1 and am getting it.
I am using IE8 and google is saying there is a danger to visiting this site, but does not show anything harmful on this site!?!? I got around the issue by typing the climate progress URL directly into the browser address line.
Let's not forget logging. Intact forests store more water, and have much cooler microclimates. "Managed" forests and those subject to fire suppression are more vulnerable to serious damage and ecosystem alteration. Fire per se is not the problem.
Not surprised that the oil companies are resorting to cyber warfare against this site. They are feeling the pressure, and it's making them crazy.
I'm getting the scare pages also. I use Firefox 15.0.1. Doing a google search for [climate progress] and then clicking the link produces
I then clicked the "safe browsing diagnostic page" link.
Of the various explanations listed on that page, the one that appears most likely is "In some cases, third parties can add malicious code to legitimate sites, which would cause us to show the warning message."
Good luck resolving this issue.
Mark E
I'll go out on a limb to say that like many other "projections", we'll reach this one far earlier than expected.
From various sources, the decline and diaspora – if not complete disappearance – of the Anasazi included several centuries of recurrent droughts, with a last ditch attempt to survive drought by shifting from dry land farming to cliff dwellings.
Short synopsis of dates:
If I were a property owner in the Southwest, I'd be thinking hard about choices.
WOW….. no megadrought after all!
(sorry….. gotta take the laughs when they come)
You look pretty safe, ME

Now several sources – including some reputedly from inside the Racing Studio itself – are naming Codemasters as the suitor, with speculation mounting that the company is close to signing a deal, meaning it might be able to offer former Sega employees roles at its HQ in Southam, near to the Solihull base.

Skip to comments.Howard Stern hates Christians
Posted on 02/27/2004 11:00:58 PM PST by Radioactive
Howard Stern on his radio program today stated that anyone who goes to see the movie "The Passion of the Christ" is stupid & ignorant. He went on to say that these Jesus Freaks have to be kept out of government and that we need to get Bush out of the White house.
He blames his problems with his filth on the air on the Bush administration and "hopes that Americans realize that Kerry would do just as good a job as president as Bush and we need to clean house so that his "program" can continue to be on the air and is cutting edge."
LOL. They made me put filth on the air for the last two decades.
I heard all the hoopla and tuned in. I could not believe that this guy is allowed on the air.
I think that all Stern is about is money.<P. He cares not about free speech, just about how much money he can make off of all the perverts that listen in to him.
Uh? I thought they already yanked the Stern program days ago?
Oh brother.
He's still on in Cleveland..
Jer ON in other words...
I need to proofread
Well said. Until the controversy over "The Passion of the Christ," I had no idea how despised Christians were. Most People in Hollywood, I think, would rather have a Marxist HIV positive pedophile to dinner than anyone who believes in Christ.
It's been intersting to see and hear the hollyweird critics lambast this movie. Hypocracy runs rampant with these haters of Christianity.
About five years ago I had the opportunity to talk with Rabbi Daniel Lapin on the attacks on Christianity by the ACLU and People For the American Way. He told me then that Jewish groups were making a big mistake with their unrelenting hostility to Christianity. He said these groups thought they had to de-Christianize America to make it safe for Jews. In his opinion they had it exactly backwards. It was the fact that America was a largely Christian nation that made it the most hospitable home that Jews had ever known.
At the time he wasn't very hopeful about the future (which is where we are now). He said these unrelenting attacks such things on school vouchers, prayer in schools, Christmas celebrations and public display of the ten commandments were bound to make Christians resentful.
Well, he was certainly right about that. But it was the incandescent hostility of people like the director of the ADL and the Museum of Tolerance (boy is that place misnamed) to "The Passion of The Christ" that really ticked people off. I don't know what Abe Foxman thought he was doing calling Mel Gibson an anti-Semite and flying off to the Vatican in the middle of the night, but the way it came across to most Christians was "you have no right to make a movie about your religion unless you clear it first with me."
Wow, Howard. I'll miss you, too. NOT!
Jesus loves you, Howie...
I'd suggest the greater concern, and valid one, that most FReepers have is that a "too powerful" FCC, that has always leaned to the left IMHO, will suddenly decide the political talk shows consist of "hate speech" and target them next.
Howard Stern's show was mearly "flushing the bowl".
The hugs and kisses of Marx, Lenin, Stalin and Mao await you, sir.
They have a well organized and financed campaign to fight it and make it public.

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia -- Justice officials are investigating alleged false statements by Slobodan Milosevic about his assets, a senior government official said Sunday, suggesting the former president soon may face criminal charges.
Serbian Interior Minister Dusan Mihajlovic told Belgrade's B92 radio that Milosevic was given a house toward the end of his 13 years in power in the city's upscale Dedinje district after signing documents that gave a false picture of his assets.
Milosevic is reputed to have tens of millions of dollars stashed in secret foreign accounts, something he denies.

Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
As noted earlier this week, last night's season finale of Fox's Fringe featured an alternate reality where everything was topsy-turvy — including the comics. Over at DC's the Source blog, DC's Geoff Johns and Wildstorm's Hank Kanalz talks about how the mock covers used on the show came about.
"A month or so ago, I was fortunate enough to take on the job of Chief Creative Officer. That meant I was charged with bringing out characters out of the comic book pages and into the vast world of television, film, animation and video games that is DC Entertainment," Johns said. "One of the first calls I got was from the director of the Fringe season finale – writer/producer/director Akiva Goldsman. He was shooting a scene in an alternate world where things weren't exactly like ours. Where even the smallest details were somewhat off. Including the comics. Together with executive producer Jeff Pinker, Akiva wanted to showcase an array of DC Comics that could've been including the ones you can see below. He wanted them to be as authentic as possible. Something only the hardcore would really recognize. We all came up with some ideas. That's when Hank Kanalz came in…"
"We mobilized Batman: Arkham Asylum artist Carlos D'Anda, The Authority: Lost Year artists JJ Kirby, Michael Lopez, and Oliver Nome, and art directors extraordinaire Larry Berry and Ed Roeder to create these fun alternate reality covers," Kanalz said. "We assembled the first four covers quickly…but we really wanted to exceed all expectations for the fifth cover. With the concept of RED LANTERN/RED ARROW we had only one choice – Ivan Reis. Geez, did he and Oclair Albert deliver, or what?"
In addition to the Red Lantern/Red Arrow cover, there were several other classic DC Comics covers that got a little twist of their own. For instance, Crisis on Infinite Earths #7 featured the classic Superman holding a lifeless Supergirl … but on the show last night, the roles were reversed:
And many fans remember the classic "Death of Superman" story from the 1990s … in alternate Fringe world, it was a different superhero who died:
I'm not sure if that means Bane ended up breaking Superman's back instead, but I do know that in alternate Fringe world, it wasn't the Dark Knight who got to return at Frank Miller's hands:
And finally, it looks like a certain scar-faced cowboy who has his own movie coming out this summer was a member of the JLA at one point:
Pretty cool! Wonder who ended up with the mock covers.
That Batman cover is AWESOME! I'm honestly really surprised DC never did any big homages to that Superman cover, it's one of the most enduring iconic images of the era, for better or worse.
I think it's wrong that they robbed DeMatteis, Giffen and MacGuire of the proper credit with the Justice League cover.
Yet, they give Dan Jurgens and Brett Breeding credit for the bloody Batman logo.
BTW, the Superman shadow image for The Man of Steel Returns cover is directly taken from a panel in The Dark Knight Returns – Book Three, though they did add the logo.
Modern Supergirl with a detachable S-shield.
Also completely re-done JLI with Jonah Hex instead of Guy Gardner is awesome.
Fir $#!+s and giggles, Jonah Hex should be added to a team book like Lady Blackhawk was added to Birds of Prey. It would give some sort of Congorilla-cred to the book.
Hmm… for the Death of Batman and Crisis, the books are cheaper in Canada! Nice alternate reality touch.
I would love to read the Man of Steel Returns.
Jonah Hex on a JLI style cover of a JL team has been done before…
The technology in the alternate world is supposed to be more advanced that the technology here.
That explains the computer coloring in the 1980s.
Hey! You forgot the Red Lantern! It's the one that called more my attention!
It was posted twice earlier in the week.
If the good folks at DC are smart they should do a month long "Fringe" event tying all of this cool stuff together. I would be more than happy to pitch a few ideas I would love to see more of a rage fueled Hal Jordan and the "Death of Batman"
I'd like to know if there where four Batmen in the Return of Batman. Batboy (later to be Robin) Azbats (later to be forgotten about) Cyborg Batman (later revealed as a life model decoy [borrowed concept] gone wrong) and Orpheus as the black Batman just trying to keep the streets safe.
Due to the unique nature of Batmans death though (Bane threw him of a roof after delivering a pounding that would have reduced most mentally and physically fatigued men to a meringue) it turns out he was just in a coma being looked after by Alfred in a tank full of 'borrowed' lazarus chemicals for just such an emergency. And low he returns! But he has no powers! Which is fine.
Bludhaven gets blown up by the life model decoy (…) Nightwing goes on a REALLY ineffective rampage to destroy the universe and winds up in Arkham while Batman presses the self destruct on the LMD, employs Batboy as Robin, Orpheus becomes the new Nightwong and everyone lives happily ever after.
Did I forget someone?
lead sharp, that was pure awesome! I love it!!!
The covers are nice but that alternate universe must be really sucky in order to give birth to such crappy stories. :p
Come on DC give us an Elseworlds with Jonah Hex in the JL and Carlos D'Anda's art looks fantastic.
Cheers dazzler_slave.
To echo Pink Eye, the Man of Steel Returns Elseworlds would be cool, but maybe we got that with All Star Superman?
If DC produces one shots of these books I will buy them. If they're good enough I might even check out an ongoing. I love alternate reality stuff so these look like lots of fun.
Pretty awesome, but I would have liked the art styles of the "Fringe" version to be pegged a bit more closely to the real deals. That would mean no computer coloring and Headband Supergirl, among other nit-pickery.
So as we are talking about paralel earths here, there would be an Earth-Fringe in the actual multiverse?
And which other changes there could had been?
Did Alan Moore used the Quality Characters instead of the Charlton's as inspiration for Watchmen? Or he used the original characters?
Did Barry Allen died in Crisis 8? Or another Flash make the sacrifice? Wally? Jay? (And which color was his uniform?)
Did Jason Todd died in Death in the family?
Did John Byrne revamped Batman in his six issue mini The Dark Knight?
Was Hawkman a continuity mess in this universe too? Donna? Power girl?
How much time was Hal Jordan Parallax after Crimson Twlight? (or was Scarlet Twlight?) Or that was Oliver?
Etc. etc.
In the Fringeyverse is Wonder Woman a popular comic?
Imagine Batman Returns…Directed by Bryan Singer staring Brandon Routh and a highly successful pair of movies Superman Begins and The Man Of Steel…
A universe where there's a great Punisher movie, where Grant Morrison hasn't lost his mainstream mojo… A universe where we finally get a comic movie trilogy worth a damn.
Excuse me it's all too much, I'm sorry *sob*
Some want Jonah Hex in the Justice League, for real? That's mere imitation of when Two Gun Kid was hanging out with the Avengers.
so… i guess they did only DC covers 'cause in an alternate universe DC sells better than Marvel???
ZING! just kidding. seriously, these are really fun. i think then Death of Batman and Man of Steel Returns are my fav.
Excuse me, but I believe THAT particular title should have been "Superman: The Last Son of Krypton Returns".
Unfourtantly Jeff They used Jonah Hex image from the Hex series and if I'm not mistaken the other western fellow is Batlash .
Maybe DC will publish those stories it be a cool read if they did . my deal is how they would deal with Jonah Hex in the new Justice Leauge and how he managed to get in that time frame.

I have different types, say
C, that all inherit from some base class
class Base { ... };
class A : public Base { ... };
class B : public Base { ... };
class C : public Base { ... };
I need a container, let's call it
Master, that holds pointers to objects of types
B and
C. I want the
Master container to provide an iterator over all contained
Base objects, as well as specifically-typed iterators over all contained
B and
C objects. As a storage backend, I'll be using
std::vector, but it would be nice if this can be switched easily later on.
Conceptually, this is the interface that
Master should present to the outside world:
class Master {
add(A *a);
add(B *b);
add(C *c);
remove(Base *base);
iterator<A*> a_begin();
iterator<A*> a_end();
iterator<B*> b_begin();
iterator<B*> b_end();
iterator<C*> c_begin();
iterator<C*> c_end();
iterator<Base*> base_begin();
iterator<Base*> base_end();
// also: reverse iterators, const iterators, reverse const iterators
The interface does not have to match this precise syntax. For example,
someMaster.begin<A>() is perfectly fine too.
The trouble is, even in this simplified interface, you can already see some code duplication happening. It's much worse in the implementation. This is unacceptable, because I want to be able to extend the
Master container easily later on, if I want to add classes
E and
F (also inheriting from
Base). Preferably, I would like to extend it with just one or two lines of code.
All this could be implemented with lots of

Cupertino, CA
Yahoo! Movies has premiered two new posters and a character banner for Warner Bros.' Wrath of the Titans, the Jonathan Liebesman-directed sequel to 2010's Clash of the Titans.
A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus – the demigod son of Zeus – is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year-old son Helius. Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity's lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld. Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus' godly son, Ares, switch loyalties and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans' strength grows stronger as Zeus' remaining godly powers are siphoned, and hell is unleashed on earth. Enlisting the help of the warrior Queen Andromeda, Poseidon's demigod son, Argenor, and fallen god Hephaestus, Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus, overthrow the Titans and save mankind.
Opening March 30, Wrath of the Titans stars Sam Worthington, Ralph Fiennes, Liam Neeson, Danny Huston, Edgar Ramirez, Bill Nighy, Toby Kebbell and Rosamund Pike.
Looks like it will be a more epic Immortals.
I am looking forward to it since they have a new creative engine behind it.

1200Mega Amps is 1,200,000,000,000 Amps
Close. 1200 Mega Amps is actually 1,200,000,000 Amps Please get your nomenclature right, because it makes a big difference.
Yes, but will a system from 2003 be as useful, even though the OS is still supported? Remember, you're talking about systems from the Pentium III era, 750MHz or less, with 512MB or less of RAM.
That's more like the mid-range system I had in 2000. Not a huge difference, but it would be 13 years old at this point. My computer from 2004 that I still use regularly is a P4 2.4 GHz, with 4 gigs of ram. It runs everything I need quite well, with the exception of some of the fanciest new games. Even those would run with reduced graphics if I had to play them on that tower.

The Wisconsin Badgers have finalized their 2012 football schedule, the school announced this afternoon.
Earlier today, it was announced that Wisconsin would open the 2012 season at home against Northern Iowa on September 1. The Badgers have now completed their 2012 slate with the addition of a home game against the Utah State Aggies on September 15.
Utah State and Wisconsin have met just once in their history. The Aggies beat the Badgers 20-0 in Wisconsin in 1968.
Wisconsin's other two non-conference contests are at Oregon State on September 8 and home against UTEP on September 22.
Wisconsin kicks off the 2012 Big Ten season on September 29 at Nebraska. The remainder of UW's conference schedule features Illinois (10/06), at Purdue (10/13), Minnesota (10/20), Michigan State (10/27), at Indiana (11/10), Ohio State (11/17) and at Penn State (11/24).
The 2012 Big Ten Championship Game will be played on Saturday, December 1 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Football Schedules:
looks like BYU is definitely not playing them in 2012….
guess Cal Poly played them too tough to get a rematch….
Long memory, that was almost 3 years ago.
Hmm…Northern Iowa plays 2 B1G teams next year – Iowa (on 9/15) and Wisconsin.
BYU is playing Weber State in 2012 now….
Add another cupcake to the list.
Love the Badgers……..hate the cupcake non-conference schedule they play every year. Buck up and play some real teams. If they keep this scheduling up, they can be put in the same category as Ohio State. I'm fine with playing 1 or 2 tune up games, but no excuse for not stepping up and showing you can compete on the national stage by playing a couple of the top tier teams, as well.
The risk vs reward is part of the criteria for non-conference schedule. Why take a big risk of a loss early in the season, especially for a team playing in the Big Ten? The downside is much bigger than any upside. Some teams from weaker conferences may want a stronger early schedule to gain position in the BCS standings.

I'm using a child theme off of thematic, and haven't found anything that let's me alter the background image on <body> on the fly.
I want to show a different background depending on whether the viewer is logged in or not.
I know how to check for whether a user is logged in, but I can't figure out where I can change the background image for the body tag...what hook, if any?
This isn't about setting a different image for a div, or for a particular page. So the background would be for all pages (default) but based on user logged in status.

Nice. Congrats.
This is a discussion on Just went out shooting and kinda impressed myself! within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Thought I'd share, since I'm kinda proud of the moment. Went to zero out my AR-15 today since i'm going with a friend to hunt ...
Thought I'd share, since I'm kinda proud of the moment. Went to zero out my AR-15 today since i'm going with a friend to hunt coyotes in a couple of days. I have a red-dot scope that is 4 MOA. Every group I shot was within two inches (50 yards-had a flyer here and there) using TulAmmo 55 grain .223 in some gusty weather. I was using a makeshift rest (a two legged tray-table bent in an L shape to stand) and coffee cans on top with a blanket over it.
I know others could probably do better, but given the circumstances, and the fact that I've only shot a rifle a handful of times over the last 30 years, I was pretty happy with the fact that I was shooting within the MOA of my scope (or, more specifically, within the arc that the dot covers).
Then I started practicing with my EDC. Decided to shoot for the target out at 50 yards with a XDSC and PMC FMJ 180 grain rounds. Had one flyer. Put the rest within six inches of center, and a grouping of eight inches (three within 5 3/4 inches). Again, I know others can shoot better, but a year ago when I got back into handguns, those were my numbers for shooting at 10-15 yards.
Again, just thought I'd share a proud moment. Oh, and trying to draw and shoot, put one within an inch of center. Another within three inches. We won't talk about the other three or four. That's next on my to-do list.
Here we go!

Nice. Congrats.

I'm jealous!! Whenever I go out shooting I come back more depressed than impressed. Kind of like when I go out and play a round of golf. A good shot every now and then, but lacking the consistency I want.
Oh well, it's still fun and to a large degree that's what it's all about anyway.
"Life is tough but it's really tough if you are stupid"
If there are not pictures or an OCAT Export File, it did not happen.
I used the target to do a little free-standing rapid fire at about thirty yards, so there's other holes as well, but I marked the ones I'm talking about. 20131227_150040.jpg

Good job, especially with the pistol. Don't know if you're already doing this, but there's nothing that says you can't rest the very top of the dot just under the bullseye (6 o'clock hold) - may give you a better group in the future
Very good. I am also jealous. Would love to be there with you. Good day of shooting can't be beat IMHO

Very nice, congrats. A good range trip is nice, only bested by when you shoot better than you thought you would/could. I had a good range trip today myself, did well but nothing really impressive.
I've impressed myself a couple of times, shooting doesn't get much better for me than that.
The stupidity of some people NEVER ceases to amaze me.
Great day of shooting....and thanks for sharing the target picture, albeit under threat. We all seem to be addicted to pictures here.
Getting old was not on my list of "things to do" in the Golden Years!
Talking to each other here is good, but taking action is better.
Congrats, I had a similar 'buzz' last sunday. I took my "new to me" Glock 21 to shoot a classifier in IDPA. I'd never shot the gun before the match, and I didn't have a mag pouch for .45 mags so had to do reloads from a jacket pocket. But still managed to classify as Marksman in CDP.

Year He Turned 30: 2003
Number of Albums Released at the Time: 5
Eminem is one of the best-selling artists in music history, and that became wholly apparent as he entered his fourth decade. At 30, Em had just released The Eminem Show, another multi-platinum smash. Mostly produced by him, it showcased him effortlessly balancing Marshall Mathers and Slim Shady with a compelling delivery. The album went on to win him a third Grammy for Best Rap Album.
Outside of music, Eminem was beginning an acting career. But at the same time, he was battling a drugs habit that became uncontrollable. During the filming of 8 Mile, his addiction to prescription pills grew. He told Rolling Stone in a 2011 interview, "We were doing 16 hours on the set, and you had a certain window where you had to sleep. One day somebody gave me an Ambien, and it knocked me the fuck out. I was like, 'I need this all the time.'"

The Department of Homeland Security's biggest weapon in securing American borders is not a fence or a fingerprint, but data -- and lots of it.
DHS and its component agencies clear some 1 million people across U.S. borders and process some 60,000 maritime and air-freight containers daily, just a small portion of the $2 trillion worth of imported goods that enter the country every year.
The incoming flow of goods and people also comprises massive datasets DHS continuously runs against other federal databases – no-fly and watch lists, for example – allowing the agency to differentiate among risks specific to a particular passenger or cargo.
DHS has been collecting and logging these datasets for upwards of 10 years, building petabyte-sized "haystacks of data" in which hide elusive needles of useful information. The department's evolutionary successes in handling the information has turned big data into a big part of its strategy in protecting borders, according to Alan Bersin, assistant secretary of international affairs and chief diplomatic officer for DHS.
Big data, he said, has changed the way DHS looks at borders.
"We typically think of borders as the first line of defense, with hard lines, but in the global context, our job is to keep dangerous people and dangerous things away from the homeland," said Bersin, speaking Oct. 30 at the Bipartisan Policy Center. "We don't do that by looking at borders as the first line of defense, but as the last line."
By Bersin's count, there are three ways to approach the problem. The government's post-Sept. 11 attempt at one of them – looking at every piece of data – was a failure, Bersin said, noting that border personnel can't possibly open every trunk of every vehicle that comes by.
The second, using specific intelligence such as a suspected terrorist's phone number to find the person works only if that specific intelligence is available.
Where DHS has been successful in recent years is with the third approach, making the proverbial haystack smaller, Bersin said. The ability to differentiate among risks "is where big data comes into play," he said.
The case of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian man jailed for attempting to bring down Northwest flight 253 over Detroit in 2009 with a bomb hidden in his underwear, is "the seminal case that changed the way we looked at using data," Bersin said.
Abdulmutallab purchased a one-way ticket to the U.S. in Africa and carried no luggage. Today those unusual data points would be scanned against previous flight records and a series of other databases, leading authorities to a rapid secondary examination of such a passenger.
Were Abdulmutallab's scenario to unfold again, DHS's big data efforts would likely have prevented him from getting aboard his target flight. As it was, he was foiled by a quick thinking flight attendant.

The latest version of the Defense Department-wide Enterprise Service Management Framework places more emphasis on managing IT risk.
Despite GSA's efforts to accelerate the FedRAMP approval process, the lack of agency reciprocity puts the program's central goals at risk.
Got some early-career colleagues who are doing great things in federal IT? Nominate them for FCW's 2016 Rising Star awards.
The agency software inventories required under the draft category management policy will be treasure maps that lead to efficient, effective, streamlined buying and unprecedented savings.
As experts warned of the "dire" threats posed by outdated federal technology, lawmakers grilled top feds, debated workforce issues and inched closer to backing a $3.1 billion fix-it fund.
The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
Agencies have spent almost $23 billion on legacy IT over the past three years, according to reports to Congress. Is a revolving fund the answer?
The United Kingdom will go live with its governmentwide digital identity platform, GOV.UK Verify, in the coming days. The U.S. government will need a little more time.
What contracting officer representatives really think is needed to fix contract management.
A lot of this data is pure garbage and causes useless cargo examinations that produce nothing 99% of the time and only hamper efforts by personnel...
All the data in the world (which Big Data people not only lack but are unable to fully and quickly process what they do have) is useless to provide any sort of defense if you do not have a physical presence to identify, intercept, and stop the threat. So if Big Data is the first line of defense then we obviously have a poor line of defense and will continue to do so with that attitude running the show.

The Shy Guy / Nabbit Conspiracy
- So, nobody really knows who Shy Guy and Nabbit are. But I think that Shy Guys, Nabbit and Dr. E. Gadd are all part of a corporation that is trying to get rid of the main Mario characters and replace them with robots.
- The system starts off in Mario Kart 8. In Shy Guy Falls, numerous Shy Guys can be seen mining and collecting materials. But nobody really knows why. The materials that they harvest are then sent to Dr. E. Gadd from Luigi's Mansion. I also noticed that Twisted Mansion, the haunted house themed track from Mario Kart 8) comes just before Shy Guy Falls. E. Gadd uses these materials to create robotic replicas of the main Mario characters. This is why we see characters like Metal Mario and Pink Gold Peach in the more recent Mario Kart games. Nabbit, along with the Shy Guys, also collects materials for these robots, however Nabbit finds the ones that are much harder to get hold of (e.g. 1-up mushrooms and super mushrooms.) This is why Nabbit is always stealing things in New Super Mario Bros.U. Nabbit is also a spy. In New Super Luigi U, Nabbit tags along with Luigi and the Toads, to spy on them and collect information about them. Remember the secret island from NSMBU, the one with stats about Mario's adventures it looked like it was probably Nabbit's house (there were lots of power-ups and bags in the background.) If Nabbit is a spy like this theory proposes then that's why he has statistics about Mario in his house. Once Nabbit has collected information about Mario, he can report back to E. Gadd. E. Gadd can then use this information to program the robots. Eventually, the robots will outnumber the main characters and will kill all of the human characters. This could even be the plot for New Super Mario Bros. GX.
One level will take place in Princess Peach's Castle.We know that part of the game's story will have to do with Mario and. co making their way back to the Mushroom Kingdom after getting thrown out by Bowser. By the time you clear the seventh world, you'll be closer to familiar territory (and from there you'll probably go through a few levels evocative of the previous home console installment, with the same music, scenery, and all. Peach's Castle, now overrun with Bowser's minions, will serve as a transition to the final world (like the Mysterious Sunken Ship in Super Mario World). After Mario and co. storm their way through the castle, they'll find Bowser on his airship with Peach, about to take off to his lair. The heroes will grab on to it before it leaves, and after a quick auto-scrolling airship level, you'll begin World 8.
- Kind of confirmed. You have an airship level after World 7's Castle, followed by 6 levels in world 8, the last TWO actually inside the castle.
There will be more hidden in this game than has been revealed so far.Super Mario World had a lot of secrets in it, both revealed in the manual but hidden in-game, like Star Road and the colored yoshis, and super-secret, like the Top Secret Area and the Special World. I think in this game, Nintendo will return to form and have secret powerups and stages that aren't advertise as selling points for once. Then, when people discover them and spread the info virally, it will build more hype than any advertising campaign could. Some secrets that could be anticipated:
- More suits that haven't been revealed yet, like bringing back the Penguin Suit, or having the Cape make a grand comeback in a secret world.
- The Penguin Suit is confirmed to return, but can only be found in the Superstar Road, the bonus world of this game. (Its inclusion was kinda spoiled by Challenge Mode though.)
- Propeller Suit, too.
- The Penguin Suit is confirmed to return, but can only be found in the Superstar Road, the bonus world of this game. (Its inclusion was kinda spoiled by Challenge Mode though.)
- Colored adult Yoshis with special powers. It's been revealed in a recent screenshot that all players get a Green Yoshi to ride this time instead of a different color for each player. Why would they do this unless they were hiding differently colored ones in later stages?
- A truely hidden Secret World that requires actual searching to find, instead of just giving it to you for enough star coins and beating the final boss.
- A special mode unlocked by beating the Special World. Just like in Super Mario World.
- These two were kinda confirmed. Beating all eight secret levels unlocked... one more level. As a Call Back to World is that they're in the middle of the Star Road looking secret area. But unlocking it also gives you one of the Save File Stars!
Nabbit is a Rabbid
- Come on, it makes sense. One of World 2's Toads even calls him a weirdo.
The Secret Toad House......belongs to Monita. She's been following Nintendo characters for years, and analyzing them on their adventures allowed her to create Nintendo Land. The Secret Toad House is her current home base, explaining the billboard full of data on what you've done.
- Or Nintendo Land could have been Magolor's creation and the Records Toad House is his research center.
Nabbit is a Toad.Based on this piece of fanart, it's entirely possible he is not a rabbit at all, and his real face is hidden behind his bandanna.
- And the Record Toad House on Secret Island is his. Heck, it's filled to the brim with stuff he stole! The question is, why does he keep all those records about you? Know thy enemy, perhaps?
- As if that wasn't enough, the Record Toad House also has what looks like Nabbit's silhouette, which could imply that this is indeed his home.
- This is the best idea ever. The most damning piece of evidence? Nabbit never blinks. A Toad definitely fits under that costume, and he's about the right height. A rogue Toad going around and stealing items in a rabbit disguise is an awesome idea, and it could even explain why the mask matches Bowser Jr.'s bandanna. It's probably because said Toad saw Jr. and thought it was a scary idea and a nice way to cover his face, and copied the design. Of all the ideas (Baby Wario? Bowser Jr?) a Toad under the mask makes the most sense.

For as long as there have been movies, there have been movie stars, but few movie stars have been better at being movie stars than Tom Cruise.
Forget about his personal life. Forget about what happens offscreen. If you concentrate simply on his body of work and his performances, there has rarely been a more effective leading man than Cruise. With Edge of Tomorrow hitting theaters (and reminding everyone that no one is as good at leading a mainstream action movie as him), it's time to pay tribute to current king of blockbusters. In a world where movie stars are a dying breed, Cruise makes it look easy.
He always plays a type…
There's no getting around it: Tom Cruise does play a type. Even when he's playing a funny character or a romantic lead, he tends to lean hard on his stoicism, with his trademark smile feeling a little distant and dangerous. If you ask Cruise to tackle a role that requires more than a few basic layers, he's probably not going to deliver. But that's why you rarely see him venture outside of his comfort zone: he does one thing really, really well.
…but he never phones it in.
And what's wrong with doing one thing very well? Cruise's ambition as an actor isn't that extraordinary, but you'll never find a single instance of him half-assing his particular type. You may not like Cruise and you may not care for his limited range, but few stars of his stature have ever given 110% in each and every performance. From Jack Reacher to Magnolia, Cruise gives it his all, committing to his part with every fiber of his being. When Cruise engages in his narrow skill set, he's always convincing and never boring. He owns his characters like few movie stars do.
He's an incredible collaborator.
There's a reason so many tales of movie star egotism exist: many of them are true. It's hard to say for sure what Cruise is like as a human being (the last thing we're going to do here is engage in tabloid BS), but there are few bankable stars who seem so generous and willing to share the screen with incredible actors.
Take Mission: Impossible 3, where Cruise goes toe-to-toe with the late, great Philip Seymour Hoffman and lets him walk away with the movie. Take A Few Good Men, where he's seemingly happy to let Jack Nicholson rock out the film's most famous scene. Cruise may be the pretty-boy action hero at the center of so many many blockbusters, but he's the perfect slate for wilder actors to bounce off.
He's not afraid to take on risky projects…
If Tom Cruise played it safe, he never would have starred in films like Magnolia. In fact, Cruise's filmography is filled with weird and wild projects that reflect a star willing to try something strange and crazy. An actor wanting to play it safe never would have signed on to something like Vanilla Sky. He wouldn't have touched something as politically volatile as Born on the Fourth of July. Hell, it's hard to imagine any actor looking at the script for Eyes Wide Shut and deciding that making it would be beneficial to his career. Let's face it: narrow range or not, Cruise wants to partake in as many different types of films as possible.
…and he's not afraid to completely embarrass himself.
Aside from critically and financially risky projects, Cruise has a lack of shame that's uncommon in a star of his magnitude. He famously went fat, bald and hairy for his truly bizarre role in Tropic Thunder, but let's face it: the real WTF Tom Cruise performance is in Rock of Ages, where he plays an aging rock star.
Cruise can't really sing and he can't really pull off the trashy sexuality the role demands, but watching him make the effort is simply fascinating. He's obviously operating outside of his comfort zone, but he never actually seems particularly uncomfortable. Rock of Ages is a bad movie and this role one of Cruise's worst performances, but you walk away blaming the movie, not him.
His science fiction oeuvre is untouchable.
Although Cruise has worked across all genres, he's carved out a special niche in the world of science fiction. Most actors would be lucky to star in Minority Report or War of the Worlds or Edge of Tomorrow, but one guy? That's unreal. Although critical reaction to Oblivion was mixed (spoiler alert: it's pretty good!), Cruise has found himself attached to sci-fi spectacles that actually try to do things we have never seen before.
From Minority Report's massively influential world building (which has spilled into real-life technology) to the emotionally devastating 9/11 allegory of War of the Worlds, Cruise has anchored some of the best sci-fi of the past 15 years, helping them get made in the first place with his star power. The mere fact that he was attached to lead Guillermo del Toro's tragically ill-fated At the Mountains of Madness tells us all we need to know about his taste in genre projects.
He's never gotten in a Will Smith-esque rut.
Tom Cruise has had his fair share of dry patches, but he never seems to have completely stalled creatively. Compare him to the similarly powerful Will Smith, who has frequently followed up his successes by playing things way too safe. With the exception of the fairly awful Mission: Impossible II, Cruise rarely appears in films that are creatively bankrupt and his projects never feel like they're all about him. Movie-star egos are a very real thing and they can dominate a career and lead to safe, boring choices. With the exception of the Mission: Impossible franchise, there are refreshingly few sequels in Cruise's filmography. He's too busy making epics like The Last Samurai and down-and-dirty thrillers like Collateral to worry about maintaining a specific on-screen persona.
However, a Jack Reacher 2 would actually be nice. You're probably one of the fools who skipped it in theaters, so know this: Jack Reacher is really, really good.
He refuses to let his signature franchise get stale.
Cruise does have one signature franchise and, to his credit, he's never let it get boring. The Mission: Impossible films may be a showcase for Cruise as an action star, but as a producer, he's transformed them into a showcase for a wide range of eclectic directors.
In four entries, he's worked with Brian De Palma, John Woo, J.J. Abrams and Brad Bird, letting each of them deliver their own unique take on the spy genre. As a producer on the franchise, Cruise could have easily insisted that these films all feel similar or follow strict continuity, but instead he's effectively let it run as an action anthology, allowing talented people to push it in fun and interesting directions rather than follow a dull template. None of the films feel connected in any way, but that's ultimately a strength. You can go into each of them without baggage and have a great time. Bring on Christopher McQuarrie's Mission: Impossible 5, please.
He is the best runner in the movies.
It may be a long running joke at this point, but have you actually sat down and watched this man run? His on-screen athleticism is unreal. No one can sprint like Tom Cruise.
He's immortal, apparently.
Tom Cruise is 52 years old, but you wouldn't know it. Like Keanu Reeves, he's seemingly immortal, a cyborg created by Hollywood to last until the film industry is destroyed in a distant apocalypse. Or he could be a wizard. Who knows at this point? All we know is that he's still stealing roles from 30-year-olds and that's just crazy. You have to admire that.

Advantages of FTI
Join Financial Training Institute to mould up your career in the stream of accountancy. These days' enterprises are adopting advanced automation systems in majority of the departments to cut short the workforce and improve efficiency. This trend has seriously affected the labor market. Despite of this fact, the demand for qualified accountants are pretty high, when compared to other professions. However, the expectations from accountants have risen up tremendously, opening up wide opportunities for people who have great passion towards accountancy. To stay in demand, you need to be a complete accountancy solution provider rather than a person who is just good at maintaining accounting books. Here is where FTI can help you.
FTI – Financial Training Institute is a reputed coaching center in India, specialized in training the students for ACCA exams. There are many advantages of Joining FTI when compared to other financial institutes out in the country.

FTI takes pride in introducing new professionals into the field and therefore, put in their best to ensure that every student who goes out sets higher benchmarks in the field.
One other great advantage of FTI – Financial Training Institute that deserves a mention in this context is ofcourse the variety of accountancy courses offered to candidates with different dreams and caliber. It's not at all an easy task for a novice to score high in ACCA exams neither it's fair to deny entry into the field of accountancy to a person just because he does not have a degree in accountancy.
