Watch the meteorite explosion in video here
Imagine if this happens in Egypt !! Just imagine it happens in Cairo !?
Actually, one of the most famous Meteorites on earth fell in Egypt over 100 years ago in 1911 at "Albuhayra" and they tracked it to planet Mars and named it "Nakhla Metorite".ReplyDelete
Lightening striking the Vatican hours after the pope resigned, meteors, death and destruction, storms and tsunamis. All the people who believe in God will be seeing the end days in all of this that has been predicted.
By the way Zeinobia are you going to update the posts about El Guindy now that the coroner has said he was not tortured by police and his mobile phone records say he was not in custody at that time?

Suppose $A$ is an algebra over a field $k$. I look to the following exercise:
- Show that if $V$ is an irreducible finite dimensional representation of A then any element $z\in Z(A)$ (with $Z(A)$ the center of $A$) acts in V by multiplication by some scalar $\chi_V(z)$ Show that $\chi_V(z)$ is a homomorphism.
I think you have to use the lemma van Schur. I want to construct an intertwining map from $V$ to $V$. Is this the good way? Thank you for hints and solutions :)

I apologize if this is in the wrong section.
I'm trying to read in and write to a word document, however, I'm not sure how to do so. I'm looking for API's that could help with this. I looked at apahce poi but I'm not sure if it can do what I need it to. The trickiest part is to create links that link to different parts of the word document (I forgot the correct term). If it is not possible to allow for these links, then I can leave them out.
Basically, the program takes in a word document and sorts the information in it. I will attach the file before it has been sorted and then after.

Remember those cartoons with an apple pie cooling on a windowsill, a billowy cloud wafting from it? The aroma would unfailingly hook an unsuspecting character by the nose and draw him like a ragdoll to its sweet, sweet source. I'm pretty sure that's what I looked like the first time I caught the scent of Belgian waffles.
It was seven years ago. I'd just moved to Brussels and was eager to explore my new surrounds. I'd set out for the weekly farmers market near my house, and it was there that the scent cloud first tickled my nose. Like a dog with a nervous tick, I twitched my head side to side, sniffing the wind until I found the source of honeyed air. It was a large white and yellow truck the size of a well-equipped motor home and kitted out as a mobile patisserie. One side of the truck was hinged and propped up to form an overhead shelter that protected a glass display case above the wheel wells. Within were delicate pastries and cookies—gems in a jewel case.
But I was ogling something else. Off to the side, near a stack of baguettes, a waffle iron sat, steaming and puffing, oozing crusted batter drippings. Without hesitation, and pointing dumbly to the billowing iron in hopes of relieving any doubt as to exactly what I wanted, I said, "Une gaufre, s'il vous plaît." A waffle, please. A man—Gilles, I would later learn, thanks to my biweekly visits—took a utensil resembling a barbecue fork and peeled the crenellated confection off the knobs of the iron, folded a piece of wax paper around it, and handed it over. I cradled it in two hands as if it were a piece of fragile glass. This waffle was nothing like the IHOP version of a "Belgian" waffle I'd grown accustomed to in the U.S. In my hand was a warm, ginger-brown oblong waffle about the size of a kitchen sponge. With no maple syrup and no whipped cream smiley faces in sight, I sunk my teeth into the dense, sweet, chewy confection known as a Liège (pronounced LEE-ezh) waffle. The caramelized crust gave way easily and the taste of butter and sugar melted on my tongue. It was love. My understanding of a true Belgian waffle—and my waistline—would never be the same.The Belgian waffle as we know it in America actually originated as the "Bel Gem Waffle," a food created by Belgian restaurateur Maurice Vermersch for New York's 1964 World's Fair. Waffles became a national craze in subsequent years, the waffle iron a fixture in American kitchens. The name "Bel Gem" mutated first to "Belgium," then to "Belgian," forever linking the flat country to maple syrup-splattered diner menus across the 50 states.
Belgium isn't totally blameless here—the small quiet types never are. Though Vermersch's rendition was a far cry from the waffle nirvana I'd experienced at the market, it was actually patterned after a "Brussels" waffle. This is a cousin to the authentic Belgian waffle yet more closely resembles the American version. Leavened with yeast and egg whites, it's fluffier than the real Belgian deal and served in a stack throughout its namesake city, with toppings such as chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and strawberries.
However, the most common type of waffle in Belgium, and in my opinion the most bewitching, is the doughy diva I discovered that day in the market. Named for a town in southeast Belgium, the Liège waffle is cooked on an extremely hot iron that caramelizes the chunks of pearl sugar in the batter, creating a glistening crust that enrobes the buttery, vanilla-y cake beneath. It's eaten by hand in Belgium—and never for breakfast—though I've been known to eat them morning, noon, and night. Street vendors around Brussels prepare and serve them hot off the iron from vans parked at just about every market and main shopping area. I'm partial to the vans in front of the city's most beautiful landmarks and vistas.
You really don't need an excuse to indulge in a Liège waffle—at least I certainly don't. But August 24 marks the anniversary of the first U.S. patent for a waffle iron. It's not the same as the iron used for an authentic gaufre Liège, yet it'll suffice. Well worth the effort, this recipe is somewhat more sophisticated to make than a toaster waffle yet slightly less difficult to produce than a tiered wedding cake. If you can't bring yourself to make it from scratch, don't worry. Chances are there'll soon be a waffle truck near you. You'll know it when you smell it. Just follow that billowing scent cloud.–Kimberley Lovato
LC Craving Caveat Note
This little number requires a little advance work and timing. We suggest you plan your craving accordingly.
Liège Waffles
- Quick Glance
- Makes 5
IngredientsEmail Grocery List
- 1 1/2 teaspoons (4.25 grams) active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) scalded whole milk, [110°F to 115°F (43°C to 46°C)]
- 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons (40 ml) warm water, [110°F to 115°F (43°C to 46°C)]
- 2 cups (255 grams) bread flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 large egg, room temperature, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon (18 grams) light brown sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon (4.26 grams) salt
- 8 1/2 tablespoons (120.5 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon (21.25 grams) honey
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup (144 grams) Belgian Pearl Sugar (Lars Own brand is an excellent choice) or sugar cubes that you've coarsely crushed in a mini chop or a food processor
- 1. Dump the yeast, milk, and water in the bowl of a stand mixer and combine until the yeast is just moistened. This ought to take but a few seconds. Add the egg and 2/3 cup of the flour and mix just until incorporated. Sprinkle with the remaining flour but do not stir. Cover and let stand until the batter is bubbling up through its mantle of flour, 75 to 90 minutes.
- 2. With the mixer on low speed, add the brown sugar and salt to the batter and mix just until combined. With the machine still running, add the honey and vanilla and mix until combined. Add the butter, 2 tablespoons at a time, and mix for 4 minutes on medium-low speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice during that period. Let the dough rest for 1 minute and then continue to mix for 2 more minutes. (The dough should be sticking to the sides of the bowl during the last minute of mixing and then, in the last 30 seconds or so, it should start to ball-up on the paddle. If this doesn't happen, let the dough rest for 1 more minute and mix for another 2 minutes. Whatever the outcome of the extra mixing, proceed to the next step.)
- 3. Turn the dough into a large bowl and sprinkle very lightly with flour. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature for 4 hours.
- 4. Now cover and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
- 5. Stir the dough down by pressing on it gently to deflate it. Carefully scrape the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap and then press the dough into a long rectangle. Fold that rectangle over onto itself in thirds, like a letter, so that you have a square of dough. Wrap it in plastic, weigh it down a bit (I place two heavy dinner plates on top of it), and refrigerate overnight.
- 6. The next day, place the cold dough (it will be quite firm) in a large bowl and add all of the pearl sugar to the bowl. It will seem like a lot of sugar, but it's supposed to be a lot. Mix the sugar into the dough by hand until the chunks are well distributed. Once mixed, divide the dough into 5 pieces of equal size. Shape each chunk into an oval ball (like a football but without the pointy ends) and let it rise, covered loosely in plastic wrap, for exactly 90 minutes.
- 7. If you have a professional waffle iron (meaning it's made from cast iron and weighs over 20 pounds) cook at exactly 365° to 370° F (185° to 187°C) (the max temp before sugar begins to burn) for about 2 minutes. If you have a regular waffle iron, heat the iron to 375° F (190°C) and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. (Many regular waffle irons go up to and over 550° F (287°C) at their highest setting. I suggest you place the dough on the iron and immediately unplug it or turn the temp dial all the way down; otherwise, the sugar will burn.)
- 8. Let the waffles cool a few minutes before eating, wrapped in waxed paper, if desired.
Recipe Testers Reviews
This is the best Liege waffle recipe I've tried. The waffle comes out sweet with a buttery, malty, yeasty flavor, but it's not overly yeasty. The outside is crisp and sugary, but there's a good chew to the interior, along with occasional crunchy sugar-filled bites. Be forewarned that there is a lot of non-active time with the recipe; this allows the flavors and texture to develop in the dough. I used pearl sugar but also tried it with sugar cubes crumbled in the food processor. Pearl sugar is best, but I wouldn't turn down a waffle made with sugar cubes, either. The directions say to mix the sugar in by hand, but I found it easier to knead the sugar into the dough. I let my waffle iron heat up to 3/4 of the max heat setting and then measured the temperature with an infrared thermometer. I placed the dough oval in the middle and at 370°F, the waffles cooked in two minutes. It seems like a lot of work for five waffles, but they're rich and easily split into quarters for sharing. All the sugar and butter in the dough left a mess in my waffle iron, but a pastry brush and warm water (on the still-warm iron) cleaned it up.
You need quite a bit of lead time for several rounds of proofing, including overnight refrigeration, for this recipe. But all of the work and time are worth it when you get five absolutely beautiful waffles that are more like pieces of fine pastry than what we Americans typically call "waffles." I used a regular waffle iron, my Krups, and was able to get it to a temperature of 360°F. The dough balls took five minutes to cook–the iron was hot enough to create a beautiful carmelized sugar crust on the outside while cooking the waffle inside to a lovely "brioche-like" texture. I did not have pearl sugar so I made my own by crushing sugar cubes with a meat mallet. My only complaint would be that some of the sugar melted and stuck to the waffle iron, making clean-up rather challenging. Perhaps by using actual sugar pearls, this would be less of an issue.
If you make this recipe, snap a photo and hashtag it #LeitesCulinaria. We'd love to see your creations on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

Ginger is the flavor of the moment in our kitchen. It started with a new flavor of yogurt the hubby found at the grocery store recently: honey and ginger. Who would have thought that ginger would work so well in yogurt? I think what it comes down to is getting the right balance of sweetness to counter the characteristic spiciness of the ginger. A technique that I tried and, thankfully, worked well for this cocktail.
Pear and Ginger Cocktail
Serves 3 to 4
4 ripe pears, cored and sliced
1/2 cup water
2 tbsp agave
1 24oz bottle of ginger ale
Add the pear slices and water to a blender and puree. Strain into a pitcher, trying to filter as much of the liquid as possible. Stir in the agave and fill up with ginger ale. Serve as is for a non-alcohlic drink, or add 1 oz of white rum and 1/2 oz ginger liqueur per serving for a sweet and spicy cocktail.

Spotted This Morning: More trouble for Scott McPlagiarist; Researcher says McInnis is lying
What a bombshell. This must be among the very last things a politician needs when his own party is trying to ditch him: Another news cycle makes Scott McInnis look like a liar and a cheat.
Not only does Rolly Fischer's account to KMGH Channel 7 make it appear that Scott McInnis is fully responsible for the significant plagiarism within McInnis' "Musings on Water," articles – Fischer has what he says is a letter from Team McPlagiarist that looks devastating.
The letter Fischer says the campaign tried to get him to sign would have made make it look like the researcher took full responsibility for the plagiarism.
Dear Scott:
I am writing to express my sincere apology for failing to provide appropriate attribution for the research I provided for the water articles we collaborated on. While my mistake was not intentional, it is nonetheless clear that this material needed footnotes.
This mistake was solely my own and I recognize that my work fell short of the expectations you had when you included me in this project.
Fischer didn't sign the missive, and he tells KMGH Channel 7 that McInnis has lied about how "Musings on Water" went so wrong.
Meanwhile, the researcher, he claims, was kept in the dark on the purpose of his research. Further, Fischer says he didn't know that McInnis was getting paid serious coin for the articles his work went on to create. Fischer says he was paid a few hundred dollars for each article he researched. McInnis was paid $300,000.
Team McInnis Spokesman Sean Duffy told The Denver Post last night that something was wrong with Fischer's comments to Channel 7.

From Upstate Underdog at Walk Off Walk comes this video of Philly fans joyfully destroying an automobile in the wake of last night's victory. And really, if you were dumb enough to park your damn car in the city proper last night, don't you pretty much deserve to have it flipped and stomped on? I say yes.

I'm looking for a verb in the following context which expresses that you
- take notice of something and include that into the result of your action.
You create a test for a software and you detect a behavior which is in some way unusual. You find out what the reason for this behavior is and you decide for yourself that this must be wrong. But because it is not part of your job to decide whether or not, you ignore it and you create the test in the way assuming that the behavior were correct.
I ??? this (imho incorrect) behavior in my test.
All words that I find means either that you decide something to do or that you remember something:
- take something into account
- to bear/keep something in mind
- to consider
- to factor
But I don't want to express neither that you remember the mistake while creating the test nor that you decided to ignore the mistake.
The verb to include is the only one I can think of that works in the context, but have a bit different expression then the one I want to give. To include is in my understanding more like just to insert.
Edit for clarification: there is something that you know (you take notice of it) and you have a particular opinion about it ("it is wrong") but because you can't change it, you include that (wrong) behavior and handle it as if it were correct.

The Chocolate King Who Would Be President
Ukraine just had a revolution to oust sleazy oligarchs. Why is it about to elect one as its leader?
Petro Poroshenko is the Chocolate King of Ukraine. What does that mean in a country where average yearly income still hovers around a few hundred dollars a month, where pensioners are impoverished by just about any definition and where the hunger to blame someone, anyone, for the country's troubled post-Soviet path has produced not one but two revolutions in the last decade? For starters, that he lives like a king, a real one.
Poroshenko's palace is a short ride outside central Kyiv in Kozyn, a suburb that, in Soviet times, used to be a proletariat retreat, dotted with tall, slender pine trees and small wooden cabins for workers' families to enjoy the summer months by the Dnieper River. Today, a few vintage compounds with rusted metal gates remain, and dilapidated houses stand in the center of town. But the choice land close to the river has been bought up by wealthy Ukrainians who have erected mansions along its banks. Poroshenko's grand manse—complete with a white portico and columns that recall, not at all subtly, the White House, is surrounded by a yellow brick wall. Over the top, you can see rows of freestanding Roman archways, metal-leaf gates and the golden cupola of an Orthodox chapel.
Story Continued Below
Although it's technically illegal, Poroshenko and many others in the neighborhood have cut off access to the shorefront along their property. The high gates blocking the water have become a visible symbol of the excesses of a crony capitalism that has walled off much of Ukraine from the prying eyes of its people, turning land that was once for everyone to enjoy into an elite playground. "I don't like it," one of Poroshenko's neighbors told me. "But what can you do?"
By the count of those keeping score, Poroshenko is Ukraine's seventh richest man today, worth an estimated $1.3 billion, according to Forbes. A 48-year-old with a large jowl and pompadour-styled salt-and-pepper hair, he owns UkPromInvest, a mysterious holding company that has no website but boasts interests in bus manufacturing, car distribution, shipyards, banking and electrical cables, among other things. He is most famous for owning the confectionary firm Roshen, which has factories in both Ukraine and Russia and produces all manner of flashy gold-wrapped chocolate wafers, bars and candies. Perhaps even more relevantly in these troubled times, Poroshenko is also the owner of Channel 5, known as the country's main opposition television station and a leader of the revolution that toppled President Viktor Yanukovych this winter.
If business made Poroshenko a king, his main occupation has been politics for much of Ukraine's short, tumultuous history as an independent country, and he has held a high position in every government since the Orange Revolution in 2004—from minister of foreign affairs and minister of economic development and trade to head of the National Defense and Security Council to chairman of the National Bank. Now—three months after a violent uprising in which Ukrainians were united perhaps by only one thing: revulsion at the tyranny of the corrupt oligarchy that has dominated the country since independence— the billionaire is also the strong frontrunner in presidential elections scheduled for this Sunday, May 25.
How strong? Since striking a deal to get his most popular opponent out of the race, Poroshenko has held an overwhelming lead. Polls now show him running at close to 50 percent support—if he crosses that threshold, he could win outright, without a runoff—and the oligarch who already lives in a White House of his own making is positioning himself as a Western-oriented savior for Ukraine who will get the country back on course toward the European Union and away from the menacing Russians wielding tanks and missiles on Ukraine's eastern border.
Still, the presidential campaign has made for some elaborate contortions on Poroshenko's part, given his hard-to-hide credentials as a pillar of the embattled country's establishment. Appearing on a popular Ukrainian television talk show the other day, Poroshenko was asked a simple enough question: Is he, in fact, an oligarch? "No," he said, visibly offended, and all appearances to the contrary. "I am not an oligarch because an oligarch is a person who uses state power to enrich themselves. I was in the opposition the whole time. And quite the opposite, it was the thugs and criminals in power that destroyed the economy." Poroshenko's presidential campaign slogan is a Ukrainian phrase that means "Live in a new way!"
Therein, of course, lies the strange paradox of his candidacy and its worrying implications for Ukraine: How is it possible that someone who has been in and out of the political constellation for decades, made billions off the collapse of the Soviet state and then denied his role could have emerged as the default choice to lead the country through this most existential crisis? Oligarchs are part of Ukraine's problem; on that, pretty much everyone agrees. So why is this one being presented as Ukraine's solution?
Getting rid of people like Poroshenko was in fact one of the main reasons Ukrainians took to the streets for three months this winter in the aftermath of Yanukovych's controversial decision to abandon talks to join the EU in favor of closer ties with Russia and a $15 billion bailout from Russian President Vladimir Putin.
But that didn't stop Poroshenko from joining the growing throngs on Kyiv's Independence Square, known as the Maidan. Although Poroshenko had served as one of Yanukovych's ministers until December 2012, he opted to take part in the protest movement when many other big businessmen did not, and he frequently addressed protesters from the heavily guarded main stage. In one YouTube video, he is shown standing on a tractor in the midst of clashes to try to calm the situation—at which point he is met by jeers from the assembled crowd and shouted down.
It hardly seemed like a revolution designed to vault him to political power. But when I talked with protesters, they told me many in the Maidan were at least resigned to Poroshenko's participation—he has always been seen as the cleanest of the dirty oligarchs. "He could have done nothing. He could not have been there," Yuri Stets, a parliamentarian, general producer of Channel 5 and one of Poroshenko's close advisers, told me. "It wasn't written on your body: 'This is a billionaire. Don't shoot him.' He was next to me when I got wounded in the thigh. I know something changed in his mind."
Eventually, the Euromaidan protests culminated in a two-day violent showdown, and more than 100 people were killed, the majority of them shot by snipers. Yanukovych fled the country for safe haven in Russia, where he held two Muammar Qadhafi-esque press conferences claiming still to be the president. Meanwhile, an interim government took over and pledged a turn to the West—a pledge soon overshadowed by the existential threat of 40,000 heavily armed Russian troops camped out on the border. Internal turmoil, though it remains in abundance, had given way to a larger geopolitical standoff, and this one came with all the trappings of a proxy war after Putin annexed the Crimean Peninsula and unleashed a destabilizing wave of protests and local government takeovers throughout eastern Ukraine. Many saw the country unraveling.

hey freakatone, could you explain what the whole server going down and about the amount of users editing after it, because the day it happened the last person to edit was 5 hours ago and usually, they edit every 10 minutes. Thanks. Aguabottle (Talk) 02:49, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

New member needs help...I'm pathetic...
Hey Freakatone, my name is Aaron and my user name is Apple Blossom. I'm not really new to Harry Potter wiki in the sense that I just stumbled across it, but I am new to being a member. Could you please run me through a few things...I'm very confused. I'm not the most computer savvy person, and...*sigh* just help me. How do I make a biography box like on the side of your about-me page? You know with my gender, my birth date, my patronus and so forth. All around if you could just give me a quick run down of the cool features that would be great. I'm sorry, I realize this may be time consuming so let me thank you in advance. Have a great day, Freakatone, thanks again.

Heya Freakatone
How do you edit an article to insert a picture.

Quick question,
Just wanted to be sure Fanon is allowed on this Wiki, as long as it stays in the User Page. On Halopedia, my fan character information on my User page was deleted with no warning because I wasn't aware that Fanon wasn't allowed there..

Thank you for the Order of Merlin award! Oread 15:10, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Just want to give the heads up on something
I recently had to recent some nasty edits to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (film) by the User HARRY P LOVER which were unneeded with many appearing to be unsourced as well so I plan to watch over that page to make sure it stay accurate and one other thing is that I checked this users edits and they appear to not be constructive. -Adv193 22:00, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
Ok thank you. Also an idea I had. On Wookieepedia they have templates that can be put at the start of a section that is dubiously canon. We could have one reading, "The events in the following section only appear in the film version of Harry Potter and Half-Blood Prince, and therfore may or may not be canon" or something like that. Would do you think? Jayce Carver Talk 14:50, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
I think we should do both. Put it in the behind the scenes section but use the templates as well. That way it wont detract from the article too much, we can write the passage from an in universe perspective, and still make it clear that the described events are non canon. At any rate the article will be in my Bellatrix Lestrange sandbox, so let me know what you think of it once I'm finished. Cheers. Jayce Carver Talk 15:02, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
Ok I've made the templates, and I will write the Attack on the Burrow section later tonight. Also could you do me a favour, and check out my Bellatrix Lestrange sandbox and let me know what you think about the way I've listead the appearances. Personally I think it's a much better way of organizing them plus making them look neater, cheers. Jayce Carver Talk 15:39, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
I was just wondering, how do you get the little tabs that say like this user supports Dumbledore's Army for an example, on the User page? I'm kinda new so I haven't worked the kinks out of editing yet. Waterdrop95 01:30, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Griefer's back...
http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/User:Super_Saiyan_Canavi So far as of this writing, he hasn't done anything, but how he got past the ban is beyond me. SeanJamesCanavi 08:37, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Dear Freakatone,
It has come to my attention, and the attention of an administrator, who has asked to remain confidential for the time being (due to threats of disclosure of private information to their family) that the administrator Matoro has come under the influence of the internet group "Anonymous". The administrator has been logged as the same IP address of a griefer under the name "Super Saiyan Canavi", a person posing as me.
We suspect upwards of seven people of Anonymous have become involved, as there were IPs tracked from several locations, two in the UK, several on the East coast of the US, a couple in the Middle East. This administrator involved banned this person on accords of griefing, but not a week later, Matoro unbanned this person, who revealed they were several people.
The griefing consisted of defacing my user page, confusing staff of the wiki, and creating general chaos. We were hoping that you might be able to do something about this very delicate situation, as a lot is at stake here, especially with concerns that the administrator's family will be told information that Matoro has somehow dug up.
Whether you choose to act or not is your own accord, but a corrupted administrator is a serious crime.
If you need proof, check the IP records of Super Saiyan Canavi and Matoro, and you'll see they're one in the same, unless he suspects even that and changes it somehow.
We're begging you to help here. The entire wiki's at stake.
But as I said, it's your decision.
-Sean James Canavi, Harry Potter Wikia member
Happy (belated) birthday!

Silver (Japanese: シルバー Silver) is the rival character of the Generation II games and their Generation IV remakes, playing opposite Ethan, Kris, or Lyra in Pokémon Gold and Silver, Pokémon Crystal, and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
He is the son of Team Rocket Boss Giovanni, and was long speculated as such due to the reference made toward Giovanni's red-haired child in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, as well as his Pokémon Adventures counterpart also being Giovanni's son. His connection to Giovanni was finally revealed via an event in HeartGold and SoulSilver activated by taking a fateful encounter Celebi to the Ilex Forest Shrine.
- 1 In the games
- 1.1 Pokémon
- 1.2 Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver
- 2 In other media
- 3 Trivia
In the games
Silver first appears in the Generation II games, lurking outside of Professor Elm's lab, looking through the window. When talked to, he will deny everything and push the player away. During the player's journey to Mr. Pokémon's house, Silver makes his move, stealing one of Elm's two remaining starter Pokémon (coincidentally always the one that is strong against the player's choice). He will meet with the player on the outskirts of Cherrygrove City, battling to get through. A policeman will later ask for the name of the rival, and the rival will be called the name the player gives for the rest of the game.
Silver shows a strong dislike of Team Rocket. He considers them to be weak, and vows to take them, as well as any other weak Trainer, down. He steals a Sneasel from a Trainer in Cianwood City and while Ethan/Kris/Lyra attempts to take down Team Rocket in Mahogany Town and Goldenrod City, he interferes to prove himself. It is in the Mahogany hideout that he meets with Lance, Champion of the Elite Four at the Indigo Plateau. Silver challenges Lance and is easily defeated by the dragon trainer, who then proceeds to berate Silver for his callous ways towards training Pokémon. Though Silver is outraged for losing to someone with such an attitude, the loss and Lance's words ultimately set him on the path to becoming a better person. When Team Rocket takes over the Goldenrod Radio Tower, Silver first blows the player's Team Rocket disguise, unaware of the player's plan to sneak in by pretending to be a member of Team Rocket. He later follows the player to the Goldenrod underground and they battle Team Rocket, hoping that Lance will reappear and he can request a rematch.
By the time the player reaches the Indigo Plateau, Silver battles against the player not out of malice, but to prove that he is a good Trainer. He is defeated and departs to continue training. The player battles Silver on Mt. Moon, and though he loses he claims he can feel his Pokémon getting stronger, and resolves to train at Dragon's Den. When battled the seventh time at Indigo Plateau, Silver seems to have finally learned to care for his Pokémon properly, as his Golbat has evolved to Crobat, which only occurs when Golbat is very happy. This is further expressed in Generation IV when his starter Pokémon starts to follow him around, much like the player's Pokémon; Professor Elm even expressly states that Silver's Pokémon have come to trust him when Silver returns to the lab, presumably to return the starter he stole.
Following Silver's final encounter with the player and after the player has become Champion, Silver can be found training on Tuesday and Thursday in the Dragon's Den, and will appear at the Indigo Plateau on Monday and Wednesday to challenge the player, should he or she appear. He does not appear at all on the weekends, indicating that he may in fact take the day off, resting his Pokémon. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Lance and Clair will appear in the Dragon's Den and challenge the player and Silver to a tag battle following the battle at Mt. Moon.
In terms of personality, Silver is the darkest of the rivals in the series. While most other rivals are generally good-natured, or at least zestful enough to crack a joke at the player, Silver is (at first) cruel, hateful, power-obsessed and even physically abusive, pushing the player character around several times. Even after he starts to become kinder, he remains a rather serious individual. He does, however, express genuine happiness when Elm allows him to keep the Pokémon he stole.
Giovanni and Silver's relationship is revealed in HeartGold and SoulSilver if the player brings a promotional Celebi to the shrine in Ilex Forest. Celebi takes the player back in time three years to witness Giovanni abandoning Silver to go into seclusion because of his defeat at the hands of Red. Silver's hate for Team Rocket apparently stems from them failing his father.
The starter Pokémon that Silver has will depend on which Pokémon the player chose to bring on Professor Elm's errand at the beginning of the game. As with all rivals, it will be the Pokémon whose type weakens that of the player's starter.

In other media
Like Template:Ga and Template:Ga, he played no role in the anime, despite being a main character in the games. Similarly, his only appearance in the anime is a brief cameo, in the original Japanese opening of The Legend of Thunder! (A New Oath), where he was shown with his Template:P defeating Template:Jo.
While not appearing directly, he has a counterpart in the Pokémon Adventures manga, Template:Adv. They share several similarities, such as stealing a starter from Professor Elm (in the manga's case, Totodile), owning a Sneasel, and being Giovanni's son. Template:Left clear
- As a possible reference to Silver's training schedule, Template:Ga also can be battled again (on Saturdays and Sundays) after the player becomes champion. He can also be found training at Stark Mountain during the week in Template:Game.
- In Generation II, if Silver's stolen starter is Template:P, he uses Template:P at level 16 in his second battle, despite Totodile only being able to evolve from level 18 onwards. This error is corrected in Generation IV, where his stolen starter is at level 18.
- In Generation II, Silver appears in Template:Ka despite not earning any Johto Gym Badges. This would be impossible as the guard who makes sure each Trainer has all eight badges stands before the entrance to Victory Road.
- Two of Silver's Pokémon in his final team received evolutions in Generation IV. These two Pokémon are also the only members of his team that did not evolve twice.
- Furthermore, Template:P is the only member of his final team that is not part of a Template:Cat as of Generation IV.
- Neither of these Pokémon's new evolutions are available in HeartGold and SoulSilver until after the National Pokédex is obtained, as their evolution methods require certain forces external to the Pokémon (rather than knowing a move, as the five new Johto Pokédex additions do).
- Despite the fact that Silver's poor management of his Pokémon is a main point of the games, his Template:P evolves via happiness into Template:P. However, it doesn't become a Crobat until after battling Silver at Mt. Moon, at which point Silver has realized that he needs to treat his Pokémon better.
- Silver is the only rival to start with a starter Pokémon whose final team does not include the three starter types (Template:T, Template:T, and Template:T) or differ at all aside from the starter itself.
- Silver's backsprite has the same pose as Template:Ga's backsprite.
- A 1997 pamphlet describing Template:2v2 mentions that the rival character lives in the same town as Template:Ga. This aspect of his character was apparently discarded by the time of the final release, however, as his hometown was not elaborated upon in the games.
- In Generation IV, Silver is depicted with two different eye colors. His eyes are gray in his Generation IV artwork while they are red inside the HeartGold and SoulSilver games, as seen in the opening animation.
- In the original Gold, Silver, and Crystal games, when battled at the Indigo Plateau the Champion theme is played instead of his rival theme. The reason for this is unknown.
- The English script of the Celebi event in HeartGold and SoulSilver never states that Silver is Giovanni's son, unlike the Japanese script.
- Silver has achieved a high score of 2000 at Pal Park, which serves as the default high score. He shares this with Template:Ga, the Sinnoh rival.
Silver is almost universally used in the fandom as the official name for this character, since it is his default name (the name the game chooses when the player doesn't enter a name of his own) in Gold and Crystal, and is also his name in placeholder data in Template:2v2. However, his default name differs on other games, and he's also named Gold (in Silver), Heart (in SoulSilver), and Soul (in HeartGold). Of course, he can be called almost anything, since, like several rivals in the main series, his name is chosen by the player.
Some fans call him Kamon to discern him from Template:Adv and Template:An. This name is taken from the suggested names for the Template:Ga in Silver, much as some call Template:Ga "Gary", where the name is found as one of the options for the player in Template:Game3, and the rival in Template:Game3.
Additionally, since he is battled once before he can even be named, he is also known temporarily as ??? in Generation II and as Passerby Boy in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
He is the only main character of Generation IV to share his name with one of the games.

MAN Initiative needs mentors
The MAN Initiative is a retention program that focuses on character-building and leadership development for male students who may be at risk or have barriers to their success and attainment. The most important component of the MAN Initiative's work is mentoring and your help is needed to ensure that program participants have great mentors who care about their success.
Did You Know that according to a Mentoring Evaluation Study conducted by the Connecticut Mentoring Partnership in 2005, of young people involved in mentoring relationships:
More than 50 percent reported that they have a better attitude in school, earn better grades, are well prepared for school every day and show better behavior in class
79 percent reported they try hard to earn their teacher's trust and get along with their teachers
Students in the MAN Initiative are required to have regular check-ins with their academic advisor, attend a monthly cohort meeting, and aid in the planning of two major MAN Initiative events per year. In exchange for their work in the MAN Initiative, students receive a $250 scholarship per semester as well as a personal mentor and a peer mentor.
MAN Initiative is preparing for a cohort of 50 students this coming year and we can't do this very important work without you! If you are interested in applying to mentor a student this academic year, please contact MAN Initiative at firstname.lastname@example.com or 614.287.2426. All accepted mentors will receive mentor training prior to the beginning of the academic year.
Join the Pono Learning Community
In Autumn 2010, the Pono Learning Community was created to provide a space for open dialogue about diversity and social responsibility with, and among, students, staff, faculty and administrators at Columbus State. More than 50 people participated and added to the increasing number of conversations taking place across campus.
Pono (pronounced PO'-no), the word itself, means 'right' and describes that exquisite sense of rightness that comes from being at one with everything. It is based on the ancient Hawaiian belief in spirit greatness and self power, in the unconditional love and compassion for, and the spirit connections between, all things.
From Ka Hana Pono by Connie Rios
The Pono Community is looking for individuals who might be interested in joining for the 2012/2013 year. Each cohort meets for eight sessions during a semester and is led in discussions ranging from race and religion to disabilities and classism.
In the coming year, Pono will have two cohorts on the Columbus campus and one on the Delaware campus. For more information on how to apply for a spot in a Pono cohort this year, contact email@example.com or call ext. 2426.

Accommodations in GandiaGandia has one of the most popular beaches in the Valencia during the summern community. A wide beach with fine clean sand, blue waters bathe the shoreline until you glimpse Mount Montgó. The warm water lacks strong waves, making it ideal for swimming as the temperature remains constant throughout the year.
At the entrance to the gate of Gandía one can enjoy the fishing; it is common to find oneself among tourists with rods in their hands. In addition, it is one of the most beautiful paths to take along the wall to visit the lighthouse.
Around the streets of Riu, Major and La Plaça we can visit the medieval center of the city; the church of Santa Maria, the Ducal Palce and the City Hall are other interesting places to see in the town. You cant forget to eat a fideuà; it is said that Gandia is the cradle where this famous dish was born. Cocas and empanadillas are other specialties of the region.
On the beach there are beautiful areas like el Grau, los palmerales, the wide seaside path it is a fun place and although oriented towards family style tourism, one can enjoy the nightlife in its discos and clubs.
For families with little ones, look for a place to stay on Mallorca Street, close to the well known apartments Las Américas where beds come equipped with rails and a childrens park is open every afternoon.

I have been aways from blogging for quite a long time, the office hours have been really hectic and then some personal engagements. The weather is getting awesome with Maunsoon approaching.
So here I am back with all my energy to share some piece of knowledge which I myself acquired during this hectic office schedule. So let me start with "a story'.
There was some part of application which was facing lock timeout issues, people blamed the application code and tried to figure out/locate the piece of code which may be causing this, no one could succeed. Later it could be observed in other places as well. Now it was more important to find out the set of queries which may be causing this.
To find out details of lockwaits you can query the view SYSIBMADM.MON_LOCKWAITS to get details of locks which may be causing lockwaits...
These details though will be only level one, and will give only immediate blocked query, if the actual query which is suffering is in-turn dependent on this query, you will have to again query the same view. There are very good chances that by the time you get to second level of query the query would have either committed/forcefully rolledback (in case of a deadlock victim) or timed out.
So I decided to write a piece of SQL which can give me details of the lock and chain of lock wait.
So I wrote a view (please download the definition from here).
So I tried to test the dead lock scenario. I created below tables:
| Tables : TEST and TEST2
create table test2 (col1 int, col2 int);
create unique index ind_test2 on test2 (col1);
create table test (col1 int, col2 int);
create unique index ind_test on test (col1);
Once the tables were created, I fired some queries from three different session so that each one would block other:
insert into test2 (col1 , col2) values (1,2);
insert into test (col1 , col2) values (1,2);
insert into test2 (col1 , col2) values (1,2);
insert into test (col1 , col2) values (1,2);
Then from a forth session I fired "select * from lockChain_INFO"
Which gave an output similar to below one:
Then from session1 I fired one more query which was:
insert into test (col1 , col2) values (1,2);
After this when I again queried the same view I got below result:
These are insert statements and are static ones, and can easily give you the cause of locking (i.e. clashing index keys). Imagine if you are trying to update the same row from two session (and that in application which uses dynamic query so you are not sure of the row).
To help you there is a function available which will provide you the lock info: MON_FORMAT_LOCK_NAME
SELECT SUBSTR(NAME,1,20) AS NAME, SUBSTR(VALUE,1,50) AS VALUE FROM TABLE(MON_FORMAT_LOCK_NAME('LOCK_ID')) as LOCK_DTL;
when lock_id is BLOCKING_LOCK received from view. This query gave descriptive info about the lock as in which row_id and which table etc:
This granular info helped me figure out that the issue was not actually in application or database, there was an issue out of configuration created by the client, which forced usage/update of same row for multiple purpose.
Once this issue was identified, we suggested configuration changes which smoothed the things.
hope this will be equally useful for you guys! :-)
I had worked on couple of more similar snapshot views, which I will be sharing in blogs to come!

This is a republish due to a last minute change!!!
We had to reschedule the October meeting due to unforeseen circumstances. The only change is the date of the event. The meeting is now Oct 20, 2011. Livemeeting details remain the same, meeting location remains the same, and the content remains the same – for now.
OK, so it really isn't that scary. But it is that time of year and we happen to have something that could fix something that might be scary.
It is time once again for our S3OLV Group meeting. And this month we have two presentations.
Before jumping into more details on that, here is the rest of what the invite would look like if you received it in email.
Guts N Grime
Presenting for us this month will be Charley Jones and Julie Rasnick. (Not necessarily in that order.)
Julie is undertaking the ghoulish challenge of teaching us how to partition. In our world of ever increasing data and requirements to continue to retain more and more data, partitioning could be a scary undertaking – yet very critical.
Charley is going to teach you everything you ever wanted to know about certificates and probably some things you didn't want to know ;). Again, this is another one of those topics that should be of high value in this day and age of increased need for data security.
Ignore the date that you see in the image, the meeting is 20 October from 6:30 PM Pacific.
Phantom Hauntings
Many of you will not be able to attend in person. That is perfectly fine. Many will be attending the valuable offerings of Summit 2011 – I get that. Come haunt our meeting anyway. We are making the meeting available via livemeeting (or would that be deadmeeting?) for any of you wishing to get that little bit of extra content/learning. I would love to flood the livemeeting servers with 2-300 Summit attendees for the Las Vegas Chapter meeting.
You can join our meeting for free via the following link.
Attendee URL: https://www.livemeeting.com/cc/UserGroups/join?id=9PWSCW&role=attend!!
Meeting ID: 9PWSCW
It's alive!!
For any of you zombies out there that may not have heard, SQLSat Las Vegas is in the works. We have reserved a date – March 10, 2012. We have the venue as well. Check out my other writeup on it here. We want to make this event work and hope to see many of you there – spread the word.

It's no secret that most massively multiplayer online games take place in either fantasylands, sci-fi galaxies or apocalyptic dominions, which is why it's so refreshing that "The Secret World" is ambitiously set in a twisted take on our own world where apparently everything that ever happened on "The X-Files," `'Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Fringe" is real.
With "The Secret World" (Electronic Arts, for PC, $49.99, with 30 days of game time), developer Funcom has a created a mythical virtual Earth populated with haunted houses, secret societies, vampire cults and zombie invasions that feels completely distinct from other titles in the genre like the hugely popular "World of Warcraft" and "Star Wars: The Old Republic."
The adventures begin in New York, London or South Korea, depending on whether recruits choose to join the clandestine Illuminati, Templar or Dragon factions. However, that decision hardly matters because players of any ilk are quickly dispatched to a dark corner of New England where they pursue - solo or together - all the same quests.
"The Secret World" has abandoned a typical class structure in favor of abilities determined by weapons such as shotguns, swords, assault rifles and magical books. Players can equip two at a time with a total of seven active and passive abilities. The freedom is welcome, but it probably sounds more groundbreaking for the genre than it plays out.
While many quests are of the kill-an-X-amount-of-this or fetch-a-Y-amount-of-that variety, the developers have neatly masked such MMO grinding with storylines that are both spooky and funny. They've also created mind-boggling investigation and puzzle-based missions, some of which require players to do stuff like decipher Morse code or read the Bible.
However, such innovations are continually undermined by the game's cadre of glitches - incomplete quest descriptions, disappearing objects and the like - that continue to exist even though the MMO went live more than three weeks ago.
It's tough to be forgiving of such bugs, as well as build enthusiasm for investing time and money in "The Secret World" when an online shop stocked with virtual goodies requires real cash for purchase, perhaps foreshadowing that this experience is already headed toward a free-to-play venture. That or the game's makers are just way too greedy.
To be certain, "The Secret World" is an MMO for players more interested in globe-spanning expeditions than gun-toting raids. The player-versus-player zones provide minimal action, and the chances to bombard dungeons are sparse. Unfortunately, those less compelling diversions provide some of the best opportunities to gain ability points and nab the best loot.
Despite the shortcomings, "The Secret World" is most certainly an online role-playing game that shouldn't be kept secret. With its intoxicatingly cerebral blend of haunting landscapes, engaging plots and thoughtful quests that actually require a brain, "The Secret World" is proof that an MMO doesn't have to be mindless fun. Three out of four stars.

First I will announce the winner of the giveaway. Thank you for all of your ideas. I like the idea of wonky blocks, and fussy cutting too, I think I should be able to get at least 3 quilts with the material, so I can try different ones. The winner is lucky number 2, Lynn. Please email me with your choice of pattern from my ecrater site.
I was going through old photos in my san disk and found some Easter photos of my family and this one definitely goes on the worst dresses list;) These were from old slides, so I will have to go through them again, someday and do some work on them, so I can keep them for my kids.
Then I was looking at this one. I remembering thinking how proud we were to get out new Easter dresses, a big thing in our house and I always loved black. I am in the middle and my sister Candy on my left, our friend Beverly in the black sweater.
Then, for the first time, I realized something, my dress is the same one, as the one my sister Wendy is wearing in this photo, so much for me getting a new dress, lol. My mother was always altering things for us and being the youngest, I got all the hand me downs. You can see the dress pattern coming from under my sister's coat.

Four months after Dylan Redwine was reported missing from his fathers home near Vallecito Reservoir, investigators Tuesday released updated information about the case.
While they still have no clear leads on what may have happened to the now 14-year-old, they have managed to eliminate some possibilities.
On Nov. 19, the day Dylan was reported missing, a postal worker had reported seeing two young boys, one of whom looked like Dylan, walking together about 2 p.m. in the Vallecito area. Investigators have identified the two young people and confirmed they had no connection to Dylan.
Authorities also cleared a man who was seen in the Vallecito area looking for gas the day Dylan went missing.
Investigators were able to identify and contact the man, the La Plata County Sheriffs Office wrote in its news release. He has not been linked to Dylans disappearance and was in the area on legitimate business.
The timing of reports to police of Dylans disappearance also has been clarified. Mark Redwine, Dylans father, called the Bayfield Marshals Office during the afternoon of Nov. 19 to ask if anyone in the office had seen Dylan, but he did not officially report his son missing. That happened after Mark Redwine contacted Dylans mother, Elaine Redwine, to see if she had heard anything. Elaine Redwine reported her son missing to the La Plata County Sheriffs Office at 5:30 p.m. that day.
Authorities also have confirmed that Elaine Redwine, her son Cory Redwine, and fiancé Mike Hall remained in the Colorado Springs area after Dylan flew to Durango by himself Nov. 18 for a court-ordered visit with his father for Thanksgiving. Elaine and Cory Redwine, along with Hall, traveled to Durango shortly after receiving Mark Redwines inquiry.
Investigators also confirmed that Mark Redwine met Dylan at Durango-La Plata County Airport at about 5:45 p.m. Nov. 18, and the two stopped at Walmart and McDonalds in Durango before arriving at Mark Redwines Vallecito home at about 8 p.m.
Mark Redwine reported that he last saw his son about 7:30 a.m. before leaving to run errands in Durango. He said he returned home at 11:30 a.m. to find his son gone.
While investigators have eliminated a number of leads, theyre still saying they have little idea of what happened to Dylan after he arrived at his fathers home Nov. 18. They have been following up on sightings of Dylan in Colorado and other states, but none has been confirmed.
Investigators continue to seek information and evidence from the public to determine whether something happened to Dylan at the home, the Sheriffs Office wrote in the release, or whether he somehow left the home, and something happened to him away from the home.

Neuroscience and the Gamification of Hiring
Mercer Match goes beyond the traditional resume to connect job seekers to employers with a game-centric app.
Did you know that only 30% of applicants are qualified for the job they apply for? This causes many pain points. Candidates suffer through tedious online job applications, while talent acquisition teams must wade through a flood of identical-looking resumes on the other side. In a mobile-friendly, innovation-obsessed world, we've seen little by way of disruption when it comes to hiring, until now.
To be a successful candidate, traditional qualifications and experience are no longer enough for a great hire. Just ask Google CEO Eric Schmidt.
"Over and over again, people, when they do hiring, say, 'I want a person that did X or Y or Z in their last job.' We want people who can deal with the future changes," Schmidt told CBS in an interview. "Businesses change so rapidly. … You're in much better off (position selecting) for people who are quick enough, who say, 'OK, there's a new problem.' I always believed at Google—and still believe—I don't know what the future holds, but I have the right people to help me figure it out, and that should be the primary criteria."
What Schmidt calls "intellectual flexibility"—the quality Google seeks most in new hires—can't be easily ascertained by a candidate's GPA, test scores, or even previous experience. We have created the perfect solution: Mercer Match.
Everyone is starting to see talent acquisition through a different lens
Leading companies like Google and Facebook are moving beyond the resume to identify great talent. But every organization, no matter the size, needs the right people to help them figure out the future. Over the past year our Innovation team conducted hundreds of discussions with clients across industries about the talent acquisition challenges they face. Here are the top concerns they shared:
- How do we engage untapped and diverse talent? Diversity hiring is among the primary concerns of CHROs, with companies like Marsh and McLennan Companies and Intel making public pledges to move the needle on hiring more women, underrepresented minorities and veterans.
- How can we quickly prequalify candidates, especially for positions with high volume of applications? (See aforementioned resume flood.)
- How do we facilitate internal mobility, leverage transferable skills across the organization and develop talent? The internal labor market continues to be highly untapped due to lack of visibility of internal roles and the inability to identify employees with transferrable skills and potential.
- How do we engage younger job seekers? According to Jobvite's 2015 Job Seeker Nation Study, younger job seekers are more likely to see their current position as "temporary" or a "stepping stone," while the majority expect a seamless application process, including the option of applying on mobile. Employers have to get with the times if they want to effectively recruit from this fast-moving younger pool.
Mercer Match has created the solution:
The Mercer Match team worked with neuroscientists at MIT and other institutions to develop a game-based method of matching organizations with great hires. Users play a series of quick, fun and engaging games that identify more than 80 cognitive, social and emotional traits that are predictive of job fit and success.
The end result is a faster, less expensive hiring process that identifies top candidates among hundreds of thousands of job seekers. That means hiring decisions are supported by data, not just instinct—and a chance to meaningfully diversify your team by putting every candidate, traditional credentials or not, on the same (literal) playing field. Employers use Mercer Match to profile existing high-performing teams and use the results as a benchmark for new hires.

Robyn Croft is the maker of this colorful quilt called City Lights. The use of different grays as the negative space along with wonderfully bright hand dyed fabrics make for such a lively quilt.
Robyn doesn't have a blog (yet!) and is a member of the Auckland Modern Quilt Guild. She took some time to answer a few questions for us.
1) What's your favorite thing about improvisational piecing?
I love improvisational piecing because the freedom of constraints makes it fun and the results are always unique to the quilter/artist.
2) What do you think makes this quilt modern?
The simple lines of the design, the simplistic quilting and the freshness of the colours.
3) What inspired this quilt?
The Modern BOM was the inspiration for this quilt. To add my own spin I used some pre-constucted fabric I had on hand instead of printed fabric, varied the grey background to give a more interesting look, and free-cut the pieces.
