Now check out quadrotors engaging in some aerial circus. Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology programmed racket-equipped quadrotors to volley ping-pong balls at each other in the school's Flying Machine Arena. Between this and that robotic archer, we're witnessing the Robolympics in its nascency. Imagine the controversy that will unfold when robot Andre Agassi shaves his silicon mullet!

The ability of in-home networks to carry HD video received a boost Tuesday when the Multimedia over Coax Alliance agreed on its MoCA 2.0 standard that can support speeds of up to 1-gigabit-per-second over coax cables, the group said. MoCA competes with other technologies such as the ITU g.hn standard, Wi-Fi and powerline. Although Wi-Fi has a lead in the area, industry observers say it lacks MoCA's ability to securely handle HD video.

Shift more.
Amidst the buzzing hype surrounding the new SRAM Eagle's 12-speed flashy cassette and chain designs, we'd be remiss to ignore the stellar functionality of the SRAM X01 Eagle 12-Speed Trigger Shifter. SRAM treats the X01 Eagle 12-Speed Trigger Shifter with as much detailed attention as the rest of the drivetrain and introduces well-executed updates that build on its 11-speed predecessor's success to get the most out of your ride.
In addition to its ability to shift through a staggering 12-cog cassette, the X01 Eagle Trigger Shifter features a brand new internal shifting mechanism that results in a more precise trigger feel and smoother shift action compared to its 11-speed predecessor. It also still includes SRAM's Zero Loss technology for nearly instant shift response when you throw the lever heading into a steep climb or revving up out of a corner.
The updated internals boast improved longevity, as well as the ability to upshift by five gears at a time. The shifter also comes with SRAM's Matchmaker compatibility, allowing it to integrate cleanly with the rest of your cockpit and letting you keep the shifter, as well as various suspension and dropper post remotes, arranged in one easy-to-access location on the bars.
- Brand new 12-speed shifter compatible only with SRAM Eagle
- New internals for faster, more reliable shifts
- Able to upshift five cogs at a time
- Durable, lightweight aluminum body

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The extra gear you have been wishing for is finally here. Eagle is really quick and clean shifting. Now you have a 50 tooth bail out gear for those long and hard climbs. I personally jumped up to a 36 tooth chain ring to have a larger gear. With that 36 tooth, when the chain is in the 50 tooth gear it is still easier than when I had 34 tooth.
Snap! Bam!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Quick and direct shifts are on offer with this shifter. It also will pair well with your Sram Guide brakes for an uncluttered cockpit.
So I bought this shifter for a new bike I'm building. I won't be running SRAM brakes, as I have Zee brakes already. This shifter didn't come with any clamp at all to attach the shifter to the bars. I've been told by others that it should come with the Matchmaker X clamp, but I've also been told by others the OE versions don't come with the clamp. This doesn't seem to be the OE version though, as it comes in a nice pretty box. Can anyone confirm any of this? I have a worthless shifter for the time being, and having to buy additional parts to mount a shifter makes me more inclined to return everything I bought.

Here's one for the record books.
I had to replace the RR wheel on my '12 coupe because I curbed it really good. When the dealer's mechanic finished his work, he laid his impact wrench on top of the lower control arm and then forgot about it. When the car was lowered the impact wrench was securely wedged inside the coil spring.
The service manager called me after I had returned home ( a trip of about 28 miles at sometimes high speed) to ask if I had "heard anything fall off of my car"!!!! Ended up taking it to a nearby local shop who put it up on a lift and eventually had to pull the wheel to get the impact wrench out.
They had me back over to check everything out. No problems fortunately. The added work was free, and they covered the local shop's bill and threw me a Cadillac golf shirt.
Wonder if anyone else has ever had that happen to them.
I once had a crew chief leave his safety wire pliers on top of my Apache's tail rotor gearbox. Found on post flight. Any negative "G" maneuver (which is easy in an AH64) could have resulted in the pliers touching the driveshafts and led to a catastrophic failure.
Re: Here's one for the record books.
I have a nice 1/4" drive Mac ratchet, extension and 10mm deep socket a mechanic left in my Corvette 15 years ago. If I hadn't had to spend 2 hours cleaning his greasy hand prints off of the seats, door panels and dash, after I got the car back, I would have returned it...

So there I was, taking off at max gross weight 590,000Lbs out of Honolulu international...start rolling down the runway, hit V1 (commit speed), rotate, and as soon as we rotated, we hear this huge boom and it shakes the aircraft violently. Long story short, crew chief left a wrench in one of the motors, go into the compressor section and destroyed a six million dollar engine. We proceeded to dump jet fuel over Waikiki/pacific ocean for the next 30 minutes just to get to our max landing weight.

The same stupid ass dealer tried telling me that my v runs on 89 octane when I purchased! Then the day after picking up the car (in which was 3 days later than promised) the car broke down! Supposedly new (but had 100+ miles on it) every light on the dash was on! Replaced the throttle assembly, told me it was just a electronic thing. Pick up the car, week later same thing! So I call a dealer in LA, he says there's a bulletin about it to check the plug coming in from the firewall if not properly installed it will leak water in. The idiots just replaced again! I ended up wrecking the car a few weeks later!!! Needless to say I will never ever go back to them again. I have to drive an hr away for warranty work, but well worth it in my opinion! Crest cadillac sucks!!!

France is super different from the other places I've been in Europe. I mean, everywhere is different, but they all have certain similarities that let you know you are in Europe. I don't really know how to explain it, but it's just different here. Don't worry though, different is not bad. Marseille is a very cool and unique place. There are no tourists here. Well... No English speaking tourists. The other tourists I have bumped into have been overwhelmingly older ...

We've been really lucky with the weather - only a few days of rain and the odd shower in Paris.
A few Autumn leaves are starting to fall, but hope we can have another two months of decent weather.
We wandered around the port area which has a fort on either side of it, then found some interesting north African markets on the way back to the hotel.

Look at it, I mean, the Sun's surface looks like milky peach fuzz that'd be so soft to touch—the texture is just incredible. To take the picture, Friedman used: Advertisement Alan used a filter that lets through only a very narrow wavelength of light emitted by hydrogen (called Hα for those of you keeping track at home), so this tracks the activity of gas on the solar surface. He also inverts the image of the solar disk (makes it a negative) to increase contrast.The smoke to the left of the sun is actually leftover material from an erupting sunspot. Seeing the Sun so close and personal makes it easy for us to forget how big it is, Earth is literally a mere dot compared to this beast. [Alan Friedman via Discover]Reply61 repliesLeave a reply

HOLLYWOOD HAS long been interested in Tibet and the Dalai Lama. Here that fascination takes the form of Kundun (8pm Sky Premier, right), a beautifully realised biopic. In a complete change from his usual beat of violent gangsters, director Martin Scorsese charts the life of the Tibetan spiritual leader from the age of two. It encompasses both the repressive brutality of the Chinese invasion and the Dalai Lama's exile in India. This reverential film, showing for the first time on satellite tonight, is enhanced by the dazzling photography of the Oscar-nominated cinematographer Roger Deakins.

- Description
Borrowing the time-tested features, comfort and value of Kelty's esteemed Red Cloud series, the Kelty Coyote 80 offers excellent performance and convenient pack access in a more compact, streamlined design.
Equipped with an adjustable CloudLock II suspension system, the Coyote 80 relies on twin lightweight aluminum stays, a horizontal anti-barreling stay and an HDPE framesheet for reliable support. This design provides stability and load-bearing strength while avoiding the unwieldy rigidity of external frame packs. The pack's Dynamic AirFlow back panel allows warm air to escape so that you stay cooler while carrying weight. A contoured, dual-density waistbelt offers comfortable load support. Kelty's patented Scherer Cinch uses a pulley-like system to double the tightening force on the waistbelt, ensuring that the brunt of the pack's weight rests on your hips.
The curved and padded shoulder straps on both sizes of the Coyote 80 can be quickly and easily adjusted to comfortably fit varying torso lengths. The Small/Medium size will accommodate torsos ranging from 14.5"-18.5" while the Medium/Large fits 17.5"-21" torsos. Load lifter straps relieve stress on your shoulders and an adjustable sternum strap positions the shoulder straps across the chest to prevent chafing under the arms and on the shoulders. Side compression straps and an integrated spindrift collar help you to cinch and secure the contents of the Coyote 80 for optimal balance and load distribution.
The pack body of the Coyote 80 consists of a single, large top-loading compartment. A zippered front panel offers additional quick access to your gear from the front of the pack. The lid of the Coyote 80 can be removed for use as a lumbar pack. A large pocket located on the front panel provides internal organizational options. Additional features include zippered side pockets, a zippered stash pocket, a daisy-chain attachment system and dual mesh water bottle pockets. A lined interior pocket and built-in tube exit make the Coyote 80 hydration compatible.
The Kelty Coyote 80 is available in your choice of size and color options.

Likes: Thank you so much for everything regarding this order. Your customer service has been tremendous and I will not hesitate to recommend your site to others in the future. Thanks again!!
A very satisfied customer,
Dislikes: Nothing
Likes: Great storage for a short weekend to full week excursions. I have done 12 mile day hike which from most is nothing but I am out of shape and relatively new to the hiking community. The pack never had any hot spots or felt uncomfortable. Between the osprey and Greggory this is the only pack that let me stand up straight with out feel like the pack was bumping my head. Very good pack worth every penny. The hip belt on it is good for slightly larger folks fits my natural waist at the bellybutton i am about a 54-53 but that's with out cinching the hip belt.
Dislikes: Could use belt options for larger folks since the belt is removable.
Likes: size, versatility, options for packing, break down to day pack, compatibility, storage options, strength and stability of internal frame
Dislikes: nothing bad to say

The aim of our multidisciplinary program is to train post-doctoral biomedical, behavioral, health care and other public health scientists to conduct substance abuse intervention research. An overarching goal is to enhance the scientific reasoning skills needed to advance treatment research in drug abuse. From our perspective such research will benefit from interventions guided by sophisticated and fully-developed theory using a multidisciplinary framework that includes the biological, psychological, social and cultural context in which interventions occur. While other institutional training programs may address intervention research, this is the primary mission for this program. Distinctive features of our training program are: that it is interdisciplinary;that it embraces no single ideology or theory concerning the nature of dysfunctions related to drug abuse;that it provides training in early intervention and treatment along a continuum;and that it provides trainees with highly individualized opportunities to develop competitive grant applications and by doing so, contribute to the knowledge base of substance-related dysfunction and treatment. The training experience is structured to provide individualized research experience and training, complemented by a common academic curriculum to which 20% of fellows'training time is allocated. Four distinct areas are covered in the curriculum: (1) statistics/research methodology;(2) grantsmanship;(3) ethical issues in research;and (4) a two-year series of formal courses covering the etiology and treatment of substance abuse from varying disciplinary perspectives. We also subscribe to a research apprenticeship model under the guidance of the mentor. Each fellow's individual research training experience emerges from a plan developed by the fellow, agreed to by his/her mentors, and reviewed and approved by the Training Committee. The program has a primary emphasis on training in innovative treatment development and clinical trials research with a secondary emphasis on the translation of clinical research into services research. The recent addition of neurobiology and behavioral genetics didactic and research experiences expands our focus of translational research from basic to clinical research. The expected training program duration is two years but on occasion we extend this training period to three years. We offer 3rd years for fellows with less extensive training in research methods;fellows who are cross- training, e.g. training in Behavioral Genetics for a clinical psychologist;r for fellows in each cohort who need more time to accomplish their goals of becoming independent investigators. The program accepts on average two new fellows per year. At any given time there are likely to be four fellows in residence.
This training program is designed to address the significant and costly public health problem of substance abuse by training postdoctoral biomedical, biobehavioral, health care, and other public health scientists to conduct substance abuse intervention research. Our training program draws on many scientific disciplines, including biological sciences, epidemiology and etiology, prevention, clinical, and public health research, and emphasizes multidisciplinary approaches to achieving innovations in substance abuse research. Cutting-edge training of the next generation of addiction researchers has the potential to accelerate the pace of science in the field of substance abuse research.

You'd never have guessed that the trade in black market tickets here is illegal. Almost every day more than 100 touts patrol the streets leading to Roland Garros. There are plenty of police around, but for the most part they seem to turn a blind eye. Nevertheless a group of three British tennis fans were in for a shock when they agreed to buy tickets for the main show court. They were counting out the cash when an undercover policeman intervened and threatened to arrest them. He pounced too early, however, and the fans successfully argued that they had not actually handed over any money. The French federation are doing their best to stop the black market trade by selling tickets on the internet and asking buyers to prove their identity when collecting them. Seats on the main court can cost €60 (about £52), but the touts hope to sell them for five times that amount. The black market thrives despite the fact that police expect to arrest more than 250 people by the end of the tournament. Some touts complain that the financial crisis has affected business, but one said: "There are always people who want tickets, particularly overseas. In the past it was the Japanese. Now it's the Russians who have the money."
Nadal causes racket Four days before the French Open started, Rafael Nadal and his uncle, Toni, were flown to Switzerland in a private jet to discuss a business venture involving the opening of some tennis academies. Nadal's spokesman denied a French report that he had played tennis in Geneva with the children of the Uzbekistan president, Islam Karimov, one of the world's most autocratic leaders, but the project under discussion is believed to involve one of the former Soviet states.
Double snub for Murray Jamie Murray might have been interested to hear Liezel Huber after she won the mixed doubles title with Bob Bryan. Murray had been Huber's partner until Paris, but he said she teamed up with Bryan at the last minute because she feared Murray's falling ranking would not get them into the draw. However, Huber says she approached Bryan in Madrid last month. Murray is hoping to re-establish the partnership at Wimbledon but it might not last. Asked whether she would play with Bryan at the US Open, Huber said: "I think the US Open we have to play."
Mind your language A-Rod Apart from the clay courts, Andy Roddick loves all things French. The American wears Lacoste shirts, plays with Babolat rackets, used to work with the French coach Tarik Benhabiles, and is managed by Lagardere Unlimited. The language, however, can still be a problem. "Getting through menus and reading it is fine," Roddick says. "Speaking it is very below average. I can understand road signs, and I think I could survive if I needed to, but, beyond pleasantries, it's suspect, at best."
Gasquet blows hot Richard Gasquet gave his first interviews about his failed drugs test on Friday, but his first public appearance had come the previous day at Stade Jean-Bouin, near Roland Garros, when he played in a charity football match. The 22-year-old Frenchman, wearing the No 9 shirt, rounded off an impressive performance with a goal just before the final whistle.

Redress Remix is an award-winning project comprised of a 3-part documentary series and an interactive living documentary. Redress Remix tackles one of the most controversial Canadian government decisions in recent years: the official 2006 apology to the Chinese Canadian community for the Head Tax and Exclusion Act of 1923. The documentary film uses a unique approach that includes animation techniques, newly composed music and testimonial interviews, to reveal to audiences the events that shaped the Redress movement and led to the official Government apology and its influence on a new generation of Chinese Canadians. The interactive web project, developed in conjunction with the film, allows Canadians to contribute to the national dialogue on the issue through a ground-breaking 'living documentary' experience. Users are invited to explore 180º panoramas featuring subjects from the film who represent a certain theme related to the Redress movement. The panoramas offer information about the subject, the theme, and a thematic video featuring repurposed documentary footage. Redress Remix invites the user to respond to what they have learned by turning on their webcam and becoming a part of the discussion.
This multi-platform project brings attention to one of the dark spots in Canadian history, the discriminating laws and taxes against the Chinese population in the country, and Canada's controversial official apology in 2006. With advanced and interactive presentation techniques, Redress Remix manages to tell the story differently from the "parent", original TV documentary series. The online project has the potential to bring the story to a younger audience and through social media engage people in the public debate on the issue. The project is well executed, using a rich library of video, still images, panoramic shots and text. The content is beautifully presented and this makes the project stand out with design and creative navigation. Redress Remix is an excellent example of using e-content to bring an important story about a culture gap in history to the attention of the next generation.

Pines Pets Groodle puppies for sale are an intelligent, active, medium size family dog
The Groodle is a cross between a Golden Retreiver and a Miniature Poodle. The Groodle is a very intelligent and grand dog with a gentle and affectionate nature. Mini Groodle puppies are active and need regular exercise, and respond extremely well to obedience training.

The Groodle is ideally suited to people that want and expect a lot from their dog, being the most intelligent and responsive dog I have ever been involved with. Groodles are great with kids of all ages and love a walk and a swim. Groodle puppies can become 'big headed' and will dominate if not handled correctly (click here for training).

President Obama is well aware of the devastating impact that any cuts in Social Security, either through direct benefit slashes or a formula change that virtually eliminates or damps down the already abysmally low cost of living increases, would have. In a ringing statement in 2008, then Democratic presidential candidate Obama flatly said that more than two-thirds of Social Security recipients rely on Social Security for more than half of their monthly income.
But Obama also gave a guarded hint that Social Security might not be the sacred cow that prior Democratic and even Republican presidents have regarded it as. He repeatedly said that his concern was with the long term "solvency" of Social Security. He did not spell out exactly what "solvency" meant or what steps he would take to insure that solvency. It was apparent that Obama even then believed that Social Security was in some danger and that some steps had to be taken to shore it up.
Obama, though, left the matter there. However, three years later that is no longer the case. With the GOP breathing down his neck to cut a deal to slash and burn programs that have profound effects on health, education, and infrastructure spending, nothing is out of bounds and that obviously includes Social Security. In a review of the positions on Social Security of the top three Democratic presidential candidate's position Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and Obama in 2008 on Social Security, a summary question was "Does he or she pledge to NOT cut Social Security benefits?" The answer for Clinton and Edwards was an unequivocal "yes." Obama's answer was "no."
That "no" has now ignited alarm and anger among House Democrats at the report that Obama had put the "tweak" of Social Security on the bargaining table to get a budget deal with the GOP. It has stirred even greater panic and alarm among those who need and depend on Social Security the most and those are minorities. There is good reason for their anger; in fact, several good reasons. Social Security has been the jewel in the crown of the Democratic Party's domestic program since FDR put pen to paper in August 1935 and signed the Social Security Act into law. No Democratic president, and only one Republican president, has dared to even breathe a hint that Social Security should be changed. George W. Bush tried it with his scheme to privatize part of the program and that failed miserably.
The success of Social Security has rested on two major pillars. It provides a financial lifeline for millions of seniors, and the sick and disabled. Despite the GOP's con job that it is an entitlement program that must be cut, it isn't and never has been. It is self-supporting, has not added a nickel to the national debt, and has provided a major boost to the economy by pumping up spending.
The Social Security "tweak" that Obama reportedly put on the table would change the inflation measure that determines whether recipients get a cost of living boost or not. But the bigger reason for the Democrats' panic and horror at the thought of this or any other change to Social Security is that it would spell even greater destitution for minorities. Two figures tell the devastating impact that any cut in Social Security would have on minorities. Nearly forty percent of African-American recipients rely solely on a Social Security check for their income. One out of three African-Americans and Hispanics would sink below the official poverty line without their Social Security payout.
The original idea was that Social Security would strictly be a supplement to the retirement income of older Americans. But as the figures on income and poverty show, that notion has long since been rendered moot. In 2008, only one out of four African-Americans got any income from private assets compared to nearly 60 percent of whites. While more than 40 percent of older whites received income from pensions, the figure for blacks was slightly more than thirty percent.
The massive shrinking in public worker employment, the assault on labor union protections, private sector outsourcing, and relentless rises in cost of living, have sledge-hammered health and pension programs that traditionally were the primary income source for minorities and most workers. Social Security will have to fill even more of the plunging income void for them in the coming years.
It's not just the aged among minorities that stand to be big losers with any benefit cut or cost of living formula change in Social Security. The burden will also fall heavily on the disabled. African Americans have higher rates of disability and are more likely to receive benefits from the Social Security Disability Insurance program. They have even less chance than able-bodied retirees of supplementing their Social Security benefits with outside income.
The GOP and President Obama will battle over how to slash Social Security. And, as always, the biggest casualties of that battle will be those who rely on Social security the most. And that's minorities.

Anime and Manga
- Coon from Free Collars Kingdom uses a giant anchor as a weapon. However, since all the characters are the size of cats, it's not so much a giant anchor than just a fancy fish-hook. Still, it's giant to them.
- One of the first scenes of Zambot 3 has Kappei and Shingo fighting each other with anchors meant for row-boats, using them somewhat like flails.
- In one episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Jim faces an opponent who uses a card called Anchor Knight, a monster that fights with anchors. The ironic thing about this anime-only card is, it's a Fire-Attribute Monster.
- One random Mook shaman in Shaman King uses an Epic Flail variety.
- In X-Men: First Class, Erik uses a telekinetically-controlled anchor to wreck Shaw's yacht.
- In Face/Off, Castor Troy fights Sean Archer with an anchor during the climactic fight scene. Though to be fair, they are on a boat.
- Frankie is crushed to death by an anchor in Shark Tale.
- The mermaid's entranced minion uses an anchor to murder most of the victims in Nymph/Killer Mermaid.
Live Action TV
- The GaoMuscle formation from Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger uses the anchor on a chain variant.
- Gokai Silver in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger wields the Gokai Spear, a Shapeshifter Weapon that switches between trident, laser rifle, and (when he uses his Super Mode) anchor modes. This meshes with the fact that the Gokaigers are Space Pirates.
- In Filmation's Ghostbusters (the live-action series, that is), Tracy throws an anchor to stop the Ghostmobile.
Tabletop Games
- One of the mercenary factions in Warmachine is a group of pirates. Their warjacks (giant robots about 12+ feet tall) tend to wield anchors as weapons (or carry ship cannons as ranged weapons). Justified in that their warjacks tend to be built out of parts salvaged from wrecked ships, either their own or their unfortunate opponents, whichever is available.
Video Games
- May of Guilty Gear, as seen in the page image.
- Touhou 12: Undefined Fantastic Object brings us Captain Minamitsu Murasa, who flings around giant anchor bullets.
- In a variation, the anchor bullets are generated from spiritual power as part of her danmaku. Her actual weapon is the bottomless scoop she carries (which she does use to attack), which fits with her drowned ghost inspiration.
- Edgar of Final Fantasy VI has the Air Anchor as one of his weapon tools, although he doesn't really wield it in any way and what it actually does is make the enemy hit by it die instantly the next time they attack. So in other words, an Useless Useful Spell.
- In Final Fantasy VIII, Ward used a weapon that looked like a cross between an anchor and a harpoon. His Limit Break is called "Heavy Anchor" and involves him tossing it high into the air and then riding it down on the enemies with a huge shockwave.
- In RuneScape, the player can use a Barrelchest anchor as a weapon. Taken from the lack of a corpse of the Barrelchest itself, the previous user.
- And true to the fact that anchors are very, very heavy, wielding the Barrelchest Anchor gives you a +100 STR bonus. Though you can't attack very fast at all with it.
- A sailor boss in Final Fight 3 uses one.
- Beat 'em Up entry Vendetta had a gangster boss swing one of these, if memory serves.
- The swung-on-a-chain version comes in to play at the end of an ESWAT level. You had to guess which height it would be swung at, and for some reason it was swung just right so the enemy could deflect your bullets.
- Anchors could be dropped from odd places onto enemies in Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves.
- Logg from Suikoden V uses one of these as a weapon. Somewhat justified in that he's from a floating town made up of ships tied together.
- There's also one (and only one) Pirate who uses "a martial arts weapon that looks like an anchor" in Suikoden Tierkreis. The weapon in question is clearly a lot smaller than a standard anchor, though, incidentally allowing him to wield two of them.
- zOMG!: Anchor Bugs and Sea Anchor Bugs launch their anchor heads at you. You can also get a recipe to make an Anchor for your avatar to wield in the game as well.
- Ruby Heart from Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes uses both a normal (small) anchor to hit and a (small) anchor with a chain to grab her hapless opponents. The second one may end with her FIRING A CANNON at their bellies.
- Sea Giants in Warcraft III and World of Warcraft.
- Chosokabe Motochika in Sengoku Basara wields his one handed and surfs through the air on it while it's on fire. Functionally it's used in equal parts as a flail or as a giant bludgeon/spear.
- Huang Gai in Dynasty Warriors 7. He even jumps from one ship to another while carrying the thing.
- The trailer for the sadly canceled Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned shows the "evil" Player Character using a chained anchor to devastating effect.
- Nautilus◊ from League of Legends wields an anchor with great effect, being able to grab and pull enemies towards him with it and root them to the ground with his autoattacks. He's also one of the biggest playable characters in the game, along with Cho'gath with Feast stacks and Zac with a moderately large health bar.
- Between his anchor and his heavy diving suit, he's also tied for slowest character in the game. To compensate for that he can use his anchor as a grappling hook of sorts to pull himself along.
- Tidehunter from Defense of the Ancients and Dota 2 could be considered Nautilus's great-grandpa in this regard, slinging nautical weights with the best of them since the MOBA genre's inception in 2003.
- Captain Flynt from Borderlands 2 uses a huge anchor that looks and acts somewhat like a Powerful Pick, pounding it against the ground to create shockwaves. Its first DLC adds Anchormen, who dual wield anchors with short handles and long chains — they can batter you at range or pull you up close and whale on you. Of some note is the fact that both Captain Flynt and all Anchormen are pirates.
- Skylanders has Thumpback, a giant whale-like monster who swings an anchor at his enemies to kill them.
- With the Throwing Anchor item, Shovel Knight can employ this trope. Treasure Knight uses an anchor as his Weapon of Choice.
- In Terraria, fishing in a Hardmode world occasionally nets you an Anchor (either directly or from wooden crates) that can be used as a flail-like weapon.
- Admiral Swiggins, a playable character in Awesomenauts, wields an anchor. He can use it to reel himself forward or drop it and chain enemies to the ground. He probably took some inspiration from the Nautilus and Tidehunter examples above.
- Pokémon Sun and Moon has Dhelmise, a haunted seaweed clutching an anchor. Fittingly, it has a Secret Art named Anchor Shot.
- Roadhog from Overwatch normally throws a large hook on a chain at targets to pull them in close for easy blasting with his extremely Short-Range Shotgun. Some of his alternate skins change his Animal Motif from pig to shark, and replace the hook with an anchor.
Web Comics
- Subverted in Problem Sleuth: Tootsie Roll Frankenstein Pickle Inspector tries to use his Comb Rave attack Anchors Away, but Mobster Kingpin smashes his Suckle Receptable onto Fiesta Ace Dick's head, completely ruining it. It Makes Sense in Context, of course.
- Book 1 of Derelict features a huge Gargoyle (aptly named Iron Hand) with a full-size anchor and chain attached to his arm - he's able to decimate a barn in only a few swings, nearly killing the protagonist. She's barely able to defeat it by shooting it in the head with an UV glow-bolt.
Western Animation
- Appropriately enough, Popeye has used an anchor as a weapon at least once.
- And quite inappropriately, they end up as convenient 'hard and heavy' things for sillier cartoons, whether for dropping on heads or for loading into a bag of some sort and swung.
- Wrapping back around to appropriate when they are used to replace parachutes as a prank.
- In Hot Wheels Acceleracers, Porkchop uses an anchor of the chain variety on a giant mosquito.
- In the Dragons: Riders of Berk episode "Alvin and the Outcasts" burly Viking Alvin the Treacherous uses his ships anchor as a weapon in battle, swinging the massive lump of metal around by its rope like it's made out of paper.
- Homer impales two people with an anchor in a Treehouse of Horror episode of The Simpsons.

Shortly afterwards, David linked his own fate inextricably with that of Napoleon by subscribing to the acte additionnel, which denied the right of the Bourbon monarchy to rule France. Following Napoleon's defeat and the Bourbon restoration, David was made to feel the full force of the new and precarious regime's displeasure. All those who had supported the acte additionnel, it was announced, 'are exiled in perpetuity from the kingdom which they must leave within one month, under penalty of Article 32 of the penal code.' He left Paris at once and chose to spend the remainder of his life in the uneventful obscurity of Brussels.
Once the most celebrated painter of France's most turbulent years, once the intimate of Robespierre, once the pageant- master of the Revolution and creator of the cults of its martyrs Marat and Lepelletier, once the propagandist of the First Empire and the unrivalled chef d'ecole of French Neo-Classicism, David would occupy much of his last eight years in painting bourgeois Belgians. Having spent the previous four decades of his life at the epicentre of history he found himself suddenly consigned to its margins, living in a town whose most conspicuous feature, he noted, was the spotlessness of its streets. Brussels was David's St Helena.
The National Gallery recently acquired a great painting by David which sheds new light on this little studied, little regarded period of the artist's life. It is a work which, previously almost unknown, may help to revise the standard but ill- considered art historical view that his last years were marked by decline and melancholy, a dispirited and uninspired moping towards death. Purchased for pounds 3.5m, by no means an exorbitant price given the extreme scarcity of pictures by David still in private hands, it is a remarkable addition to the national collections of art.
David's Portrait of the Vicomtesse Vilain XIIII and Her Daughter is a masterpiece of frank and unaffected tenderness that may, too, have subterranean depths of meaning. It is one of the least strident pictures that David ever painted, this picture of a young woman and her five-year-old daughter posed, but not too formally, in a plain well-lit interior. The painter is almost exclusively absorbed by the substantial presence of his two sitters, whom he has portrayed in a style which seems more Flemish or Dutch than French. These are not the hard marmoreal beings of David's Neo-Classicism, but warmer and more palpable creatures, flushed and vital.
No attempts have been made to idealise, the style of the painting implies, to smoothe out the protuberance of a nose or improve the contour of a cheek. The mother sits patiently, gazing mistily into the distance of her own thoughts. The little girl is curiouser and more self-conscious. She wonders what the painter is doing, behind his easel, and concentrates on holding her smile in place.
The Vicomtesse Vilain XIIII, who was, like David, a Bonapartist exile from France, seems to have found the process of having her portrait painted singularly dull. Her letters, recently discovered in a Belgian archive, testify to the tiringly methodical thoroughness with which the artist set about her likeness. 'I am beginning to think that my portrait will be quite good, but I admit that the whole thing is extremely boring. The day before yesterday the sitting lasted from 11 to 3.30, and was for the forehead and eyes; yesterday's sitting lasted from 11 to 2.45 for the nose and cheeks. Today he will do the chin and the mouth.' How straightforward she makes it sound. Having decided on his composition and roughed it on to the canvas, David proceeded, part by part, to assemble his images of mother and daughter. Yet the finished painting is nothing like the laborious inventory of detail suggested by the method. Two different human beings - David has painted them in different focus, the mother slightly sharper and more statuesque, her child softer and more potentially mobile - have been granted that form of perpetual life which is a great portrait.
The picture seems charged not merely with life but with a significance that goes beyond a painter's record of what two particular people looked like on a certain week in May 1816. David's portrait is too assertive in its realism to be read as an allegory, but it does have a muted allegorical dimension, which is to be found in the emphatic contrast between mother and daughter. This is a picture of innocence and experience, youth and an older and wiser condition of life that seems tinged with melancholy; and a picture of the bonds of affection that join the two. It is a picture of nurture, whose most affecting detail and most subtle invention is the twined arms and softly touching fingers of mother and child. The child draws her mother's arm and fluid orange shawl around her. Comfort is unthinkingly sought and instinctively given.
Few painters have been as hardily adaptable as David and to see this portrait is to see him, late in life and in unpromising circumstances, devising an entirely new style and perhaps an entirely new moral base for his painting. Just a year after his last appearance on the world stage, that curious and emotional meeting with Napoleon, we find him creating a quite new sort of art for himself. Its style may be appropriate to exile since it is a style of renunciation, implying valediction to one world and embrace of another.
The background to the painting is part of its meaning and may partly explain the almost unsettling intensity of its realism, the sense of an artist releasing himself into the everyday world of people and things. It is the work of a painter who has spent almost his entire life in the service of one or other political cause or ideal and the world of his painting has been, overwhelmingly, an idealised martial and masculine world: a world of heroic action, of dangerous moral enthusiasms, of Revolutionary zeal or imperial hubris. But here we see David turning his back on all that and sympathising, simply but profoundly, with a mother and her daughter.
There had been other moments of moral or political disillusionment when David had rediscovered his humanity by painting portraits, but perhaps none when he had felt so terminally disenchanted as this. He had lived through the Terror and through Napoleon's long years of blood and he was tired. These two still people may, perhaps, stand in for the silent victims of all the bloody heroics of French history that David had seen. They may be David's archetypes of the people who, generally unnoticed, are left to count the cost of men's aggression. All women and children may be implied in this picture of one woman and her child.
David's didactic pictures are full of busy, gesticulating hands and arms and when they have, occasionally, been stilled, their stillness is portentous and heroic, like that of Marat's limp arm in perhaps his most famous painting of all. Now, however, David has found another kind of stillness, the stillness of affection. Having spent his entire life attempting to define and picture the nature of human heroism, he finds it staring him in the face in a room in Brussels. The discovery has the air of a revelation. His picture celebrates, not an active or impulsive form of heroism, but one that is slow and instinctive: not the sudden heroics of action, but the calm and persistent heroics of love.

Court weighing free speech vs. lie about military honors

Court weighing free speech vs. lie about military honors
WASHINGTON — Over the course of an hourlong argument Wednesday, the Supreme Court seemed gradually to accept that it might be able to uphold a federal law that makes it a crime to lie about military honors, notwithstanding the First Amendment's free speech guarantees.
The justices were aided by suggestions from the government about how to limit the scope of a possible ruling in its favor and by significant concessions from a lawyer for the defendant.
The case arose from a lie told in 2007 at a public meeting by Xavier Alvarez, an elected member of a Southern California water district board of directors. "I'm a retired Marine of 25 years," he said. "I retired in the year 2001. Back in 1987, I was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. I got wounded many times by the same guy."
That was all false, and Mr. Alvarez was prosecuted under a 2005 law, the Stolen Valor Act, which makes it a crime to say falsely that one has "been awarded any decoration or medal authorized by Congress for the armed forces of the United States." Mr. Alvarez argued that his remarks were protected by the First Amendment.
His case ran into trouble at the Supreme Court, as it emerged that many justices accepted two fundamental propositions. First, most of the justices seemed to accept that the First Amendment does not protect calculated falsehoods that cause at least some kinds of harm. Second, there seemed to be something like a consensus that the government has a substantial interest in protecting the integrity of its system for honoring military distinction.
To arrive at those two propositions, the justices worked through any number of hypothetical questions and worried about the collateral damage to free speech values that a ruling upholding the law might generate.
Justice Stephen Breyer said it was all right to lie, for instance, when asked, "Are there Jews hiding in the cellar?"
Justice Samuel Alito Jr. suggested that it was acceptable to punish a false statement that "your child has just been run over by a bus."
Justice Sonia Sotomayor asked about false statements made while dating. Justice Elena Kagan asked about lies concerning extramarital affairs.
Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. asked whether Congress could make it a crime to lie about having a high school diploma. Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr. responded that some states had indeed enacted laws concerning diplomas from public universities, and he indicated that they would be constitutional if they concerned calculated lies about verifiable facts that led to real harm.
Mr. Verrilli listed several laws that punish those kinds of falsehoods, including ones prohibiting false statements to federal officials and banning impersonation of federal officers, as well as perjury.
Similarly, he said, the Stolen Valor Act punishes only knowing falsehoods that result in "the misappropriation of the government-conferred honor and esteem," which he called "a real harm and a significant harm."
The hardest hypothetical question for the justices seemed to concern state laws that make it a crime for politicians to lie in some settings. Mr. Verrilli said such laws might run afoul of the First Amendment because of their potential to chill truthful speech for fear of prosecution.
Justice Kagan asked a lawyer for Mr. Alvarez, Jonathan Libby, whether the Stolen Valor Act posed the same problem. "What truthful speech will this statute chill?" she asked.
Mr. Libby's response seemed to surprise Justice Kagan. "It's not that it may necessarily chill any truthful speech," he said. "We certainly concede that one typically knows whether or not one has won a medal or not."
Justice Kagan considered what she had just heard. "So, boy, I mean, that's a big concession, Mr. Libby," she said.
Mr. Libby also acknowledged that the government may punish false speech intended to obtain something of value. Chief Justice Roberts asked whether Mr. Alvarez, who was politically active, benefited from his lie. Mr. Libby said that was possible. The chief justice said this, too, was "an awfully big concession."
The New York Times Co. and other news organizations filed a brief supporting Mr. Alvarez in the case. The brief argued that most false statements are better addressed by exposing them in the marketplace of ideas than by punishing them as crimes.
There was universal agreement on one point at Wednesday's argument. No one spoke up for Mr. Alvarez, including his lawyer.

True North Custom Homes builds new custom homes, remodels existing homes, and creates unique outdoor living options for new or existing homes.
We are extremely familiar with the premier established neighborhoods in Dallas. If you know that you want to live in the Dallas area but have not selected a neighborhood, we can help. You will find that some true hidden gems exist, and that you may be able to achieve a lifestyle you have only dreamed of in an established neighborhood with mature trees and all of the conveniences that accompany an inner- suburban lifestyle
If you are considering purchasing a residential home site call us first. We will do a complimentary site evaluation and make sure you are aware of the cost and benefits of building on a particular home site. If you are having trouble choosing a home site we can help you narrow your choice based on desirability, cost associated with building and overall value. Chip McClure started doing customer's site construction projects in 1999 and is extremely knowledgeable in evaluating home sites.
We offer no obligation project consultation. Not sure if you should remodel, rebuild, or level and build new? We can help. We will listen to your needs and specifications, give you the hard facts about the cost involved, and help you make an educated decision.
If you are considering even a minor remodel, call us first. We know how to get the job done right while being minimally invasive to the structure and to your family's lifestyle. We utilize the same design process and planning that goes into building every True North Custom Home in our remodeling projects. Our level of customer service is exactly the same, so our customers know they are getting top notch service even on the smallest of projects.
We have the experience and the specific knowledge required to rebuild on your existing home site. If you love your current neighborhood, tearing the existing structure down and building a new custom home may be the answer. Most homebuilders never do this type of project, at True North Custom Homes it's what we do most often. We are very familiar with what is involved in this type of project including how to finance it and temporary living accommodations for your family while the project is being completed.
Looking for a "Build on Your Lot" builder, but insist on the quality, design and attention to detail that can only be found in a custom home? Call us first. We will design your home from the ground up to meet all of your needs and compliment the surrounding neighborhood.
If you are looking for a new home but do not have the time to invest in building, call us first. We may have the home of your dreams… move in ready!
