The easiest way to adjust the color in photos that include faces is to let Aperture do it for you automatically using the Skin Tone white balance mode:
- Select an image that includes at least one face.
- In the White Balance Adjustment brick, click the Auto button.
Because Aperture can detect faces, it can automatically set the white balance to produce pleasing skin tones. Aperture also uses Skin Tone mode to adjust the white balance when you apply Auto Enhance to a photo that includes one or more detected faces.
If you use Auto white balance on an image with no detected faces, then Aperture uses either the Natural Gray or Temperature & Tint mode to calculate the white balance.
Note: Aperture 3.3 and 3.3.1 also used face detection to adjust white balance, but required that Faces be enabled for it to work with Auto white balance. With Aperture 3.3.2 this is no longer necessary.


text: February 24, 2014 at 1:02 PM RIP, Alice Herz-Sommer Posted by Thanh Tan Alice Herz-Sommer may not have set out to change minds, but her essence and love for the piano transcended time, politics and the horrors of Hitler's concentration camps. The world's oldest pianist and Holocaust survivor passed away over the weekend. What a life she lived. She won't be remembered as a victim, but for her incredible sense of optimism. "Every day in life is beautiful," she would say. And she believed it, despite a life of profound suffering over the course of her 110 years, including the loss of her home in Prague, her parents and her husband after the German occupation of Czechoslovakia. I had not known about Herz-Sommer's life story until Friday night, when I saw the Oscar-nominated documentary short film based on her life, "The Lady in Number 6." Here's a preview of this poignant meditation on survival, aging and music as salvation. More Comments | More in Video | Topics: alice herz-sommer, holocause, obituary

Liberty News
Sen. Mark Warner visits campus, tells students to not fear failure
Senior U.S. Senator Mark Warner of Virginia visited the campus of Liberty University Wednesday, March 26, and took the opportunity to speak to about 10,000 of Liberty's residential students in Convocation. He inspired them to pursue their dreams with tenacity and not be deterred by failure.
Earlier in the day Warner gave a legislative update, hosted by Liberty and the Lynchburg (Va.) Regional Chamber of Commerce, in the university's new $50 million Jerry Falwell Library.
As he spoke to Liberty students, Warner praised them for their energy and faith, saying Washington could use more of that and that he hopes to bring that spirit with him back to the capital.
He also praised the new Jerry Falwell Library, calling it "as world class as anything I have ever seen in Virginia or anywhere in the nation."
Warner was introduced at Convocation by President Jerry Falwell, Jr., who shared highlights of the senator's career.
Before transitioning into politics, Warner was a successful businessman for many years. He was an early investor in cellphone technology and co-founded Nextel. Warner served as Governor of Virginia from 2002-06 and was elected to the Senate in 2008.
Warner told students that "not everyone lives a straight line of success … one of the most important lessons you can learn … is to try and fail." As an example, Warner shared his own story of attempting to start businesses as a recent law school graduate and ultimately failing several times before he gained success.
He explained that one of the advantages of living in "the greatest country in the world" is that despite its challenges, one can succeed in the wake of failure because there are so many opportunities.
"In America, it is not about where you started, it is not even about how you get there, but it is the fact that in America you can fail, and there is nothing wrong with it," Warner said. "That is the antithesis of what we are taught … that we are only measured by our success. I think a human being is not only measured by his or her success but by how they deal with failure, how they deal with adversity."
Warner also talked about the need to work together to achieve success — in spite of differences. We must recognize that there are "powers greater than any of us individually," he said.
|U.S. Sen. Mark Warner gave a legislative update in the Caudell Reading Room of the Jerry Falwell Library on March 26, 2014.
Earlier in the day, Warner gave a 30-minute legislative update to community leaders on the work he is doing in Washington in the library's Caudell Reading Room.
Before the event, Christine Kennedy, the Chamber of Commerce's executive vice president, shared the significance of meeting on Liberty's campus in light of the chamber's strategy for economic development, which includes economic vitality and a solid business model.
"In considering an economic driver in this community, we couldn't think of a better place to be than Liberty University," Kennedy said, noting that the university is adding more than 7,000 jobs to the community and is in the midst of a $500 million campus rebuilding. She pointed out that during this phase Liberty's cash reserves will not drop below $1.2 billion.
Kennedy also said that Liberty students, faculty, and staff volunteer more than 750,000 hours of service every year.
She and Warner both celebrated Liberty's online education program, which is one of the nation's largest and has revolutionized higher education by making it more accessible and affordable.
Warner shared updates on several political issues, including foreign policy and what is happening in the Ukraine, education and student debt, the challenges of the Affordable Care Act, and fiscal responsibility.
While visiting campus, Warner repeatedly said that he wishes the U.S. government would follow a business model similar to Liberty, where the books are balanced and the budget is managed responsibly.

Jamie Casino, the Georgia lawyer who made a glorious/insane local Super Bowl commercial, will reportedly be getting a reality show, because yeah, it really is that easy.
According to Deadline, Warner Horizon Television signed Casino to create Casino's Law. One of the producers from The Bachelor will develop the show, which doesn't have a concept yet, but hey, that's not important right now. Hopefully, it will feature more flaming sledgehammers.

I can't find the mainspace
Sorry if I am bothering you, but I am new to Bulbapedia. Is there a link somwhere? Carson 08:02, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
- You're not bothering me at all. "Mainspace" refers to most Bulbapedia pages that don't start with "talk:" or "user:". For example, the edit you made to Axew's article counts as a mainspace edit. Crystal Talian 08:08, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
it still will not let me edit my userpage
By the way I'm glad i'm not bothering you, I don't like to do that to people
Carson 08:22, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
- You'll need to make several mainspace edits before you are able to edit your userpage. I don't know the exact number, but it is several. By the way, you don't need to create a new header every time you add to a talkpage. You can just click the "edit" button next to the header where the conversation started. You really only need to make a new header when starting a new conversation. - unsigned comment from Crystal Talian (talk • contribs)
- Thanks, I will go make some edits now.
Also I was making a new header every time becuase I didn't know how to reply at that time Chandelure1166 08:39, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
Can you help me?
Hello Crystal! I don't know If you remember me cause I joined maybe four months ago or longer but I was one of the users you welcomed. Since bulbapedia is so big and I'm a sotr of new user, I'm not exactly sure what to edit (I actually joined just to help with the tyrouge page due to the fact where tyrouge was wasn't completely said). So I was sort of wondering if you possibly have a simple easy task I could do to help out the wiki? --Minor Notes 23:00, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
Just one last question
Hello, Crystal! Thanks for the suggestion of what to do. I just have one last question: for the trainer classes would it be possible to put a appearance section? I mostly noticed appearance is basically only used for pokemon and not for the human characters but I looked at another stub for a trainer class and it listed a appearance for both characters but it was in the section where game information was usually located. Well thanks for your help, bye!
Hello Crystal Talian, please check your e-mail* as soon as possible, awaiting for your reply. Thank you. ♫♪ エイディニズ ♪♫ 10:47, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
Signature move
Where is the problem? KyleRGiggs 09:01, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
- Wait until Force Fire replies to your question before reverting him. However, I believe the problem is that this is a move tutor move. It wasn't that only Blastoise could learn, but that the tutor refused to teach it to anyone else. Crystal Talian 09:02, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
Using templates
Instead of copying the code of the template Protect, simply write the template as such: {{Protect}}. ht14 21:36, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
- I thought I did? I didn't copy the code, at least. I wasn't sure what the what the template code was, so I mimicked the way you call a welcome template. I guess the "subst" was unnecessary. Ah, well. Noted. Thank you. Crystal Talian 21:39, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
- Subst is only used for Welcome template. :) All other templates do not use subst. ht14 21:40, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
- Got it. I'll be sure to remember for next time. Thanks! Crystal Talian 21:43, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry to butt in but, subst is usually used for message templates like {{subst:Userspace warning}} and {{subst:Preview button}}, not just for {{subst:Welcome}}. I beleive that subst is what signs those automatic message templates for you. --Pokemaster97 23:12, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Then Let's Bring it Up With Staff
To the uneducated reader who knows nothing about Pokémon and is trying to decide which game to buy as their first, such entries as the one I attempted to correct can be very misleading. Anyone looking at the Butterfree or Metapod articles can easily see at the top of the article that it evolves from Caterpie, but cannot catch it in Black; however, the text in cases like Metapod suggests that a player who wants a Butterfree HAS to play White, and cannot trade the Pokémon from Black, thus requiring a player who wants to catch Reshiram (that was my deciding factor, I wanted the white legendary) to purchase White instead. This is completely misleading to an uneducated reader, and it is wrong to assume that everyone will understand that you can still evolve it in Black. After all, clicking a Caterpie link from Metapod's page already shows you can only catch Caterpie in White.
This is a task I'm willing to undertake myself as well, I'm just trying to establish a correct precedent. The existing one is entirely flawed. CycloneGU (talk) 01:04, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
- I understand your concern, and I agree that it is a good point. The next time I have the chance to talk with staff, I will bring up your point, and we will let you know when a decision is made on the subject. Crystal Talian 01:10, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
- Fair enough. Give me a heads-up on my talk page when that occurs; I constantly refer back to things here more often than anywhere else, so I'll see it. Let the staff know I'm willing to take this on myself as well, and if I do make an odd mistake somewhere, they're welcome to clean up after me where necessary. Hopefully that won't happen very often. =D CycloneGU (talk) 01:14, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
thanks for the warm welcome
i wanted to thank you for welcoming me and i was wondering how to put those "this user ----" on my page and where to find them Maggiedroid (talk) 04:59, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
- First, you're welcome. =3 And do you mean the usertags? Well, first you need to do some editing so you can start your own userpage. Don't ask me how many edits you need to do, it's a hidden number. Anyway, once you do that, you can look here for information on usertags. Have fun! Crystal Talian 06:06, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
Name Translations
Hey Crystal Talian, I just saw your message and I just wanted to say, first, sorry about that, I'm not fluent in Japanese, and I was looking for something to edit, and I thought that I could do that by translating something from English to Japanese; second, that I didn't really know how the translations worked, which is why I translated the English names back into Japanese; and third, I don't own a Japanese copy of a Hoenn-based game (As I live in the US, and it's realtively hard to get one in and around where I live).The next time I edit a page on Bulbapedia, and any other site for that matter, I'll make sure I know what I'm doing before I start editing. I'll also make sure that the next I edit a page on the site, I'll make sure it will be not only tested personally, but also that it follows the conduct of Bulbapedia and that if it deals with another language that I'm not fluent in, I promise that I won't translate on this site until one of the following is true: A) I'm fluent in that language (I'm currently fluent in only English, but I'm working on becoming fluent in German) B) I use an offical site to translate (i.e. a govt. website) or C) If I'm thinking about editing, one of the above is true
I'll become fluent in any language, if needed. I am actually thinking about becoming fluent in Japanese, amongst a few other languages. One final thing, I wasn't really thinking about how the translating worked, especially with languages like English and Japanese, which have little to no connection. If you (Or another Bulbapedia staf member) have any problem with anything I edit, like this one, just feel free to edit that page back and tell me. Thanks for pointing that out, and telling me about how translating generally works. Thanks! Grayglove
A little help, please
I have been creating battlefield sections for the kingdoms of Pokémon Conquest and would like to create a battlefield page. It looks like I now have the right to create pages, so could you please tell me a bit about creating them? Sorry to bother you. The editing help doesn't help. LOL! Either way, I would really appreciate it if you helped me out. Eeveewithwings123 (talk) 21:50, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
- You're not bothering me at all. As far as getting a page started, all you have to do is run a search for the title of the page you want to make, and click the link to create the page. As far as the content for that page, I suggest you look over the other Conquest pages and how they are written and set up, and then maybe go over the manual of style. Other than that, just go with your instincts. Good luck and have fun! Crystal Talian 03:07, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
Umm... I've been too busy to do the page yet (and a bit scared, I know it's stupid to worry about it, I'm just not that good at codes and all), but what would you use for a suffix to show that the article is for the conquest games and not any others? Thanks in advance!--Eeveewithwings123 (talk) 16:01, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
- Since we don't have any other battlefield pages, a suffix isn't needed to distinguish it. But if you're wanting to make a different page that will need a distinction, the suffix would be (Conquest). I don't think it would be needed for any pages at the moment, though. Crystal Talian 00:28, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
A question
Hello Crystal! I have a question and I thought you would probably be able to answer it. Can any user, including the ones that are admins or higher, use obscenities on their user pages? I was just sort of wondering since I found this bureaucrat, User:Darkeiya, using a obscenity in a user box and that confused me since I thought Bulbapedia had rules against that.If you could answer my question I would greatly appreciate it. Minor Notes (talk) 03:51, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
- There are rules against it in mainspace articles. However, so long as it is within reason and not specifically directed at a person (or group of people), its allowed on userpages and talkpages. So long as it is not excessive, it's nothing to worry about. Thank you for your concern, though. Crystal Talian 04:35, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
Thankyou for answering my question. The obscenity is directed at a villian in the game so does that change it or is it just different if it is directed at a living person?Minor Notes (talk) 16:04, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
- Only a living person, as it would then be against the Code of Conduct. Crystal Talian 03:51, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for answering my question yet again. Now take for instance the God the Christians believe is real and say that some one uses a obscenity and directs it at that God, would that have to be taken down since Christians believe He is real or would it simply be ignored since not everyone believes He is real?Minor Notes (talk) 23:38, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
- That would be offensive to a particular group of people, so that would not be allowed. To put it simply, swearing is okay in the userspace and talkpages so long as it is not offensive to a person or persons. So, if someone is swearing at at game, a game character, or nothing in particular, then that is fine. On the other hand, if someone is directing that obscenity at a person, people, entity, or concept that insults or offends someone, it would not be allowed. If you think that something you want to say might offend someone, then don't say it. Crystal Talian 04:44, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for your help Crystal! I thought by leaving you a message you might get back to me the next month (since I have had dreadful experiences on talk pages for articles and I thought this would be the same) but I was very surprised that you got back to me in less then a day. Thank you so much for answering my questions but I'm afraid I've got another one (I believe this one will be my last). Now say for instance a user takes a word that is less then a obscenity but is in the same category and then put the word God in front of it and then uses that word to insult themselves. Would that be allowed because they were insulting themselves or would that be not allowed for they would be insulting both God and themselves? I was wondering about that after seeing a user do that exact thing.Minor Notes (talk) 23:45, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
- I really can't run through every possible scenario. The main thing is to avoid offending people. If you think you're going to offend someone, just don't say it. If you're worried about something someone else said, staff will get to it if it is a problem (and if the user hasn't already been banned). Bulbapedia does not discriminate against any race, religion, or ethnic background. If someone is openly expressing discretions against these groups they will be blocked indefinitely whether they use swear words or not. In the case of the provided situation, it would not be allowed as it may offend some people. Crystal Talian 00:45, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your help but I think I would just annoy the staff...Minor Notes (talk) 02:37, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
Moving Sections
Crystal i am new and i made a new section on a page and how do i move it to a new place(Icestar649 (talk) 22:22, 19 December 2012 (UTC))
- Hello. First, please add new talkpage comments to the bottom of the page. I've moved this comment for you. To move the section you created, all you need to do is copy-paste it to the area of the page where you want to be (make sure you delete it from the original area so it isn't on the page twice). However, I would suggest simply putting the section in the correct area of the page to begin with. To bring up the whole page for editing, just click the "edit this page" tab at the top of page and add the new section where it needs to be. I went ahead and looked over the section you added, and removed it as it was not the right style for this website. Please work your grammar and do not use "you" when writing for articles here. I would suggest that you look over the manual of style, it'll help you out with some of the basics of editing here. Crystal Talian 22:59, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
Merry Christmas
Dear Crystal Tailan, thank you so much for the help and time you have given me. I hope you have a happy new year and a merry Christmas.

I cannot edit my user page and I would like to remove all my data. I do not want to make any further edits other than removing all the text on my user page. Please help. Bageese (talk) 09:12, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
- If you are leaving the site and wish for your page to be deleted, staff will take care of that for you. The reason why you can't edit your page is because new users have to make a certain number of mainspace contributions before they are allowed to edit their userpages. I realize that you are not a new user, but you have not made any edits since this rule was put in place a long time ago. So, the restriction is having an effect on you as well. If you wish to stay, you simply need to make some contributions and you'll be able to edit your page again. Crystal Talian 22:41, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
- Can you just delete my account for me then? That would be appreciated, I'm more of a reader, not a contributor. =) Bageese (talk) 01:01, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
"If there are six, it's not notable"
Technically, it's only five, since Deoxys differs via forme. Is five a small enough number out of 650 to be deemed notable? Sweeping statistics like this at a glance are of considerable use to people who play competitively. Jumpman16 (talk) 03:54, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
- I'm afraid that five is still too many. We also don't typically include competitive based trivia. Crystal Talian 04:00, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
Article about Misty's Gyarados
Hello, im bringing this up because way article about Gyarados was written brings confusion among fans making it seem like things are based on assumptions rather than actual proof itself. Its listed on main page as Misty pokemon, but in article about Gyarados way its worded make it seem like its gym pokemon. Which many fans find confusing judging by comments you can read online.
Since going by canon and what was showed in anime from moment Misty earned its trust Gyarados was showed to be used and trained only by her. One of proof to this was revealed in episode "Togepi Mirage" when Misty stated how she trained Gyarados teaching it flamethrower. Like its been already brought up in article Gyarados seem to establish special bond with Misty , bond we never saw existing between him and Daisy, Violet or LIly. Before MIsty returned to gym earning its respect it was also showed how he didn't listened to anyone being out of control, until Misty intervened choosing to be her partner and nothing afterwards indicate how anyone else beside Misty use him befriending it.
Which is one of basic ways trainers acquire new pokemon.Otherwise if we are going to count only captured pokemon as ones which belong to someone, than same logic could be applied to Dawn Togekiss or Brock Onix which they received as gifts from others. Or all befriended pokemon others acquired on travels. In comparison all Brock pokemon are currently at gym, but that doesn't mean they belong to gym and new gym leader Forest.
Gyarados may be gym pokemon before(even though in canon such thing has never been stated), but that doesn't necessarily mean it still belongs to gym with canon treating it more as Misty's than gym pokemon. There are plenty other gym pokemon like Dewgong, Shelder, Goldeen etc but we don't see Misty taking them with her outside the gym, nor she was ever showed to be using them.Let alone being listed as her pokemon. Only Gyarados is being taken with her whenever she leaves gym being treated in similar manner like Corsola, Staryu and other pokemon which belong to her are.It was also showed how she is the only one training it, learning flamethrower in process. Likewise on every site whether its SPPF, or some Japanese poke site Gyarados is listed as one of Misty pokemon with only bulbapedia causing confusion listing it at same time both as Misty and gym pokemon?
Therefore i believe judging by what canon showed so far it would be more accurate to classify Gyarados as Misty rather than gym pokemon since unlike its case with other pokemon we reliably know belong to Cerulean, Gyarados is another story bring showed to have special bond only with Misty listening, training and being taken with her whenever she leaves gym. For all aforementioned reasons wouldn't it be more authentic to say how Gyarados is pokemon Misty befriended, since its treated basically like every pokemon which belongs to Misty? --Pokemon fan 132 (talk) 08:46, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
I wanted to ask before reverting this image to an earlier version
Somehow, [[[1]]] seems like a hazard to epileptics. Or non epileptics. Or any one, really --Shadowater (talk) 07:14, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
- The current version is fine. I doubt it'll cause any seizures, as the movement is slow and small. Thank you for your concern, though. Crystal Talian 07:59, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
Move trivia
I don't think that "the only non-X-type Pokémon that can learn the move" trivia should be on the move pages, since you can see it easily just by looking at the move lists (which is why sprite trivia isn't allowed). For example, when you read the Poison Gas page, you'll notice immediately that Drowzee and Hypno are the only Psychic types without having to read the trivia section.--電禅Den Zen 21:50, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
- I considered that, but it really doesn't belong on Pokémon species pages either. Being the only one not of a type to learn it is potentially notable, but the major question is where to put it. It is easily visible on the move pages, but it's not really relevant on the species pages since it's more about the move than the Pokémon. I will look into the best place to put them tonight. Crystal Talian 22:09, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
- I'm also dumbfounded as to why you reverted my edits. In my opinion, all those reversions and pseudo-reversions of yours should be reverted, as the trivia does not belong in the move articles (see my talk page), and if it is notable, then of course the species articles are the appropriate locations. Really can't follow the logic in the argument that the content is not relevant for the species articles. How is it not? I'd even say it's more about the Pokémon than the move. Do you think that the fact that Bagon and its evolutionary relatives are the only non-Fire-type Pokémon to learn Ember says more about Ember than the Pokémon? I don't. I'd appreciate it if you could just undo your brash actions, disregarding any face-saving that could be gained from arguing and making this "major question" more complicated than it has to be; there are two location options, one is inapproriate due to being beyond redundant, the other is not - species articles if notable, nowhere if not notable. That was the conclusion I reached when editing, reflected in my edit summaries, so if you want to oppose that, at least make up your mind before reverting. Also, it appears your reversions are made without regard to my grammar-fixes (compare your restored Flame Wheel (move) to what you removed from Rattata (Pokémon)), which is, you know, counterproductive.

About Pupitar?
In the Pokédex entries of Pupitar in FireRed and Silver it describes Pupitar as fast, but it is not really that fast for a Pokemon at Level 30. And I would aalso like to add "despite its Pokédex entries it can be damage by steel-type.Gelato Gelato (talk) 05:34, 30 March 2013 (UTC)Gelato Gelato
- Pokedex entries do not necessarily relate to in-game mechanics. The games can only do so much. Crystal Talian 05:36, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
- How about in the trivia section of Escavalier: "Although Escavalier's Pokédex entry states that it flies around at high speed, its base speed is among the lowest of all known Pokémon, at just 20, nor can this species have the Ability Levitate.".Gelato Gelato (talk) 08:42, 30 March 2013 (UTC)Gelato Gelato
"Out of three Pokemon, so not notable"

Regarding Tyranitar
About Tyranitar that was so stupid of me :3.

Regarding Mew's name origin
According to Webster's Universal English Thesaurus: mew vb confine, coop, encase, enclose, imprison;cast, change, mold, shed.

- Just because a word can mean something, doesn't mean that it does in every case. The usage of the word in this way seems unlikely (and therefore not notable) in Mew's origin. Crystal Talian 04:32, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
- ..., for example:"The chameleon mew its color."Gelato Gelato (talk) 05:33, 5 April 2013 (UTC)Gelato Gelato
- "Mew" is more often used in reference to birds moulting. Is that an example of your own, or one from another website? Because my research indicates that it only used to indicate a change in birds. An example from the Oxford dictionary: "the eyasses clung dully to their leashes as if they were mewing", referring to hawks in moult. The definition "to confine" is also primary used in reference to birds used for hawking. This has nothing to do with the Pokémon Mew. Crystal Talian 05:42, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
- My own. Well cloud and sky are completely different in definition, but their synonymous because they come from the same latin word.Gelato Gelato (talk) 05:54, 5 April 2013 (UTC)Gelato Glato
- The clouds are the sky are not synonymous simply because they come from the same word. You cannot use "sky" to mean "cloud" or vice versa. The word "mew" coming from the same word as "mutant" does not mean it should be added to Mew's page in the context of "change". This word used in this way has a strong connotation towards birds, which the Pokémon clearly is not. It is notable to have mutant in Mew's name origin, but that is already there.

You know that free 3G connection on your Kindle that lets you download books from anywhere you are? Well a hacker named Andrew D'Angelo has found a way to tether to the ereader giving you free internet access on another device.
Don't get too excited, though, there are a few caveats to the hack. For starters you'll need an older Kindle Keyboard with 3G service that's been jailbroken so you can run a USB network hack. Once it's then connected to a computer via USB you just need to configure your DHCP and browser settings accordingly, as outlined on his site.
It all sounds well and good, but as Hack a Day points out, tethering with your Kindle is against Amazon's terms and conditions. And the data passing through your Kindle's 3G connection has a unique ID that Amazon can track and use to brick your device. But even worse? You'll be bringing down the wraith of Jeff Bezos on your head. Don't say we didn't warn you. [Lickitung's World via Hack a Day]

When you're as old as I am, and although I'd like to say I'm older than dirt I don't really know where some of this dirt has been so I'd be reluctant to speak on its behalf, you tend to overlook some of the things you took for granted when you were young. You start not noticing some of the things about yourself that you don't really want to notice. You don't notice that when you look in the mirror that the six-pack abs that once adorned your frame have turned into something between a bubba and a keg. You don't notice that when you're ogling those pretty dancers that they might not be laughing with you. You will notice that your wife will still smack you. Those are mostly unavoidable.
Another thing you don't notice are the bizarre things that happen to yourself. If you keep getting headaches when you're setting up camp or out there on the main battlefield, it might not be because your campmates are just watching you work or because guys in blue tape are repeatedly smacking you in the head with blunt objects. You really need to watch your water intake, particularly if you don't normally get off your couch much or live in climates like I do which are more amenable to cross-country skiing and ice fishing than cooking the camp breakfast on your new armor. You never know when the great curse of Pennsic will strike. No, I'm not talking about the little blonde in the next camp who smiled at you. Remember what I wrote earlier. The great curse is dehydration. Please, make sure you're drinking something out of your water cooler and not always out of your beer cooler. The beer can wait.
A few days ago one of my best friends went down with the heat pretty bad, bad enough that he ended up in the hospital. When you're at Pennsic, you need to be spending your time at Pennsic, not down the road at the hospital. You can't see the dancers from Butler Memorial. And isn't that why we're all here in the first place?
Remember, I'm pulling for you. We're all in this together.

For me, the subroutine is the unit of abstraction. Give me subroutines (or methods or functions) and I can change the world.
Fixing Hashes
If you try and retrieve a non-existent key from a perl hash, it returns an undefined value. Often, that isn't what I want.
No worries. With a simple subroutine, I can fix it.
sub get_hash_value (\%$) { my ($hash_ref, $key) = @_; if (! exists $hash_ref->{$key}) { die "KeyNotExists: $key\n"; } return $hash_ref->{$key}; } my %hash; print $hash{'hardtospellkey'}; print get_hash_value(%hash, 'hardtospeelkey');
With warnings turned on, this is easily caught. Plus with emacs dabbrev, it is never a problem for me anyway – my mispellings are consistent.
But with a less enlightened language than perl, if you have this problem then as long as you also have subroutines, you can fix it.
Use of uninitialized value $hash{"hardtospellkey"} in print at t.pl line 14.
KeyNotExists: hardtospeelkey
Fixing Weakly Typed Numbers
use Scalar::Util 'looks_like_number'; sub ensure_number { my $val = shift; if (! looks_like_number($val)) { die "NotNumber: $val\n"; } return $val; } my $x = '1'; my $y = 'rhubarb'; print ensure_number($x) + ensure_number(2), "\n"; print ensure_number($x) + ensure_number($y), "\n";
In production code I'm likely to call that subroutine something more like
3 NotNumber: rhubarb
Subroutine Call Speed
This is why I care about perl subroutine call speed – I have so many little routines stating exactly what I expect from my code. And it seems like it is quick enough.
It would be nice though to have something like emacs'
defsubst. Say a new keyword like
inline_sub { ... }. So I can invent the syntax I want, secure in the knowledge that, code bloating aside, I'm not paying for it.

Florida Georgia Line Heat Up the 2013 ACAs With 'Stay' Performance
These days, it isn't an awards show without magnetic country duo Florida Georgia Line and they performed their latest single 'Stay' at the 2013 ACAs.
Mandalay Bay certainly heated up with FGL's passionate and intense performance. It's a much different vibe than the lighthearted 'Cruise,' and they appropriately channel a more serious, somber mood for this specific song.
Scenes from their music video played behind Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard, and, as fans of the duo know, it portrayed lots of smoke and fire. So, midway through the song, flames began bursting from the stage as the pyro scenes of the video flashed on the screen.
All of their time performing together and practicing paid off this evening. FGL sounded tight, with their vocals really sealing the deal. A guitar solo during the song drew huge cheers from the audience, and the camera showed Luke Bryan, Lauren Alaina and a whole lot of fans giving the newcomers a standing ovation.
After snagging Single of the Year, several other awards, and giving a rousing performance, FGL shows that they are truly on fire!

Q:Does muscle really weigh more than fat?
Muscle does not weigh more than fat, any more than lead weighs more than feathers. A pound is a pound is a pound. Where the misunderstanding often comes in is that muscle is much more dense than fat, so that, by volume, it seems to weigh more. That is, a pound of muscle occupies less space than a pound of fat. In addition, because a pound of muscle burns more fat than a pound of fat, even at rest, by increasing your lean muscle tissue mass, you're helping your body burn more calories.
But back to your question. If you only have a small amount of weight to lose, then you may feel like the weight training is not helping you move down on the scale. In fact, the number may even go up, but you will look thinner. This is due to an increase in lean body mass (muscle, bone, blood volume) and a decrease in body fat. In other words, even if the scale doesn't change much, you will probably see a difference in how your clothes fit.
On the other hand, if you have a lot of weight to lose, you will also experience an increase in lean body mass and loss of body fat. But the results on the scale will probably be more dramatic.

The future looks bleak for Captain Pirk. Originally from the far future, he traveled back to save the world, but was shipwrecked on the 21st century. The world of the past is a dangerous place and he is finding it difficult to convince the ladies he is, in fact, an intergalactic space hero from the future. To make things right Pirk comes up with a questionable plan to save mankind's future...
Wikipedia wrote:"Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning is a 2005 motion picture produced by five friends in a two-room flat with a small budget and the support of a few hundred fans and dozens of acquaintances. Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning is the seventh production in the Star Wreck movie series, the first of professional quality and feature length. It is a dark science fiction comedy about domination of the world and the universe, and a parody of the Star Trek and Babylon 5 universes.
Although the movie is a fan film at heart, many critics have favourably compared it with typical professionally produced science fiction films, in part because of the quality of the special effects and overall production.

Did you know? World Series Game 2: STL 4, BOS 2
A look at some notable facts and figures from the St. Louis Cardinals' 4-2 win over the Boston Red Sox in Game 2 of the World Series at Fenway Park on Thursday.
• The Cardinals beat the Red Sox in World Series play for the first time in six games. It was the first Game 2 victory for St. Louis in the Fall Classic since 1985 against the Royals.
• Thursday also marked the end of the Red Sox's nine-game World Series win streak, which tied the Yankees (1937-41) for third-longest in history.
• Michael Wacha became the Cardinals' 11th rookie pitcher to start a World Series game and the first since Anthony Reyes won Game 1 against Detroit in 2006. At 22 years and 116 days old, he is the 17th-youngest pitcher to win a World Series game.
• Wacha's four walks matched a career high set on Sept. 14 against Seattle.
• David Ortiz's home run snapped a streak of 19 consecutive scoreless innings for Wacha, who had allowed just one earned run in three postseason starts. The streak tied Bob Gibson for the longest in Cardinals postseason history.
• Ortiz's two-run shot over the Green Monster was his 17th career postseason homer and his second this series.
• Carlos Beltran returned to the Cardinals' lineup after leaving Game 1 with a bruised ribs and went 2-for-4 with an RBI.
• This is the 56th time the World Series has been tied at 1. The winner of Game 2 has gone on to win the Series 29 times (52.7 percent).
• With a 1-for-4 night, Jacoby Ellsbury has now hit safely in nine of 12 games and is batting .362 (17-for-47) with five RBIs and six stolen bases in the postseason.
• Thursday's loss marked the first time the Red Sox have lost a postseason game with Jonny Gomes in the starting lineup. Boston had won in his previous seven starts.
• Boston's Game 2 starter, John Lackey, has allowed four runs or fewer in 14 of his 15 career postseason starts. Only Andy Pettitte (16) has more such starts in the American League since 2002.

How to Give Your Summer Landscape a Quick Makeover
Whether you're selling your home or just want to freshen its look, a quick landscape makeover is a great way to boost its curb appeal. Read on to learn about small landscape improvements that make a big difference.
Before you begin, snap a photo of your yard. This is a fun way to compare the pre- and post-makeover looks of your landscape.
Improve your landscape with clean lines
Creating clean lines is an essential part of any landscape makeover. Start by trimming your hedges to give them a perfectly manicured look. Using a lightweight hedgetrimmer, like one of MTD's Remington Hedge Trimmers, will make the job easier and help your create the cleanest lines.
Then, remove any debris - including hedge trimmings, rocks, sticks, toys and any other clutter - from your landscape. In addition to making it look tidier, picking up around your lawn will help prevent your mower from flinging objects and potentially causing injury while you're cutting your grass. Giving your lawn a crisp, even cut si one of the quickest and most noticeable landscape improvements you can make. Before you begin, make sure your mower blades are sharp and the deck is level and set to the proper height.
Next, turn your attention to your planting beds. They house the flowers and greenery that make your yard pop, so they should be a central focus of your landscape makeover. First, make sure they have clearly defined borders. This will go a long way in helping you achieve a clean look. You can create well-defined edges by bordering your beds with landscaping stones. Or, you can use an edging tool to dig trenches around your beds.
After you've defined the borders of your planting beds, freshen them by turning the soil, adding topsoil or laying new mulch. If your are creating new beds, use and MTD garden tiller to cultivate the soil and prepare it for plating. In addition to helping improve your landscape's appearance, freshening our beds can create a better growing environment for your plants. Once you've spruced up your beds, use a string trimmer to clean up around their borders and the edges of the lawn. To get the neatest rresults and prevent jams, make sure the strings and other lawn trimmer parts are in good condition.
To put the finishing touch on your improved landscape, place vibrant potted flowers outside your front door for a quick splash of color. Then, compare the view to your pre-landscape makeover photo.

Kevin Michael Rudd (born 21 September 1957) is an Australian politician who was the 26th Prime Minister of Australia from 2007 to 2010. He has been Minister for Foreign Affairs since 2010. A member of the Australian Labor Party, Rudd has served in the House of Representatives since the 1998 federal election, representing Griffith, Queensland.
Rudd was born in Queensland and grew up on a dairy farm. He joined the Australian Labor Party at the age of 15 and was dux of Nambour State High School in 1974. He studied an arts degree in Asian studies at the Australian National University, majoring in Chinese language and Chinese history. In 1981, he married Thérèse Rein and they have three children. He worked for the Department of Foreign Affairs from 1981 and from 1988 he was Chief of Staff to the Queensland Labor Opposition Leader and later Premier, Wayne Goss. After the Goss government lost office in 1995, Rudd was hired as a Senior China Consultant by the accounting firm KPMG Australia.
Rudd was elected to Parliament in 1998 and was promoted to the Labor frontbench in 2001 as Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs. In December 2006 he had become the leader of the Labor party and Leader of the Opposition; the party overtook the incumbent Liberal/National coalition government led by John Howard, in both party and leadership polling. Rudd made policy announcements on areas such as industrial relations, climate change, an "education revolution", a National Broadband Network, and health. Labor won the 2007 election, with a 23-seat swing. The Rudd government's first acts included signing the Kyoto Protocol and delivering an apology to Indigenous Australians for the stolen generations. The previous government's industrial relations legislation, WorkChoices, was largely dismantled, Australia's remaining Iraq War combat personnel were withdrawn, and the "Australia 2020 Summit" was held. In response to the Global Financial Crisis, the government provided economic stimulus packages, and Australia was one of the few western countries to avoid the late-2000s recession.

We have had a few encounters with african bees and wasps since being on the farm and cleaning up. I have removed two wasps nests from the stables and one from the stoep of the house. Xlolani came across a bee hive in an old unused ant hill last week. He called over an uncle who had previous experience with honey collection and was quite keen on getting the honey. We started a small fire to subdue the bees with smoke from the wood, and then he broke open the anthill to access the honey combs. It was a treat.
A few lesson learnt is that we have alot of bees on the farm. There is another bee hive in the water tower aswell as another hive in an anthill at the bottom of paddock. I am thinking of building some bee hives for the farm as they are needed for thier honey aswell as are natural pollinators of flowers. Using manmade bee hives will create less destruction of the hive when extracting honey.
