I'm sure most of you are aware that on Sunday, February 6, 2011, Super Bowl XLV took place. This was probably the most highly anticipated Super Bowl matchup in years, in which the Green Bay Packers faced off against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Most Americans enjoyed eating burgers and hot dogs with their friends while watching the Big Game and rooting for their favorite teams. For non-sports fans, however, the excitement came from watching the commercials during the game. It's funny to consider commercials as "exciting" given the fact that, on any other day of the year, people would rather fast-forward through them or simply change the channel. At this time of the year, though, you don't want to miss out on the marketing creativity that only the Super Bowl can offer.
There were a lot of very creative commercials this year. It was tough picking out only five to make my list of favorites but here they are:
I thought the Cars.com commercial was very clever and funny. In the ad, the cars are discussing their ratings on the Cars.com website. While the ad was directed mainly towards teens and adults, the use of talking animatronic cars would have caught the attention of children, as well. Overall, I would say that the company hit its target audience very well.
Doritos had a couple of funny commercials, too, including a pug that breaks down a glass door to get to a bag of Doritos Chips. My family and I loved this commercial, which was directed to audiences of all ages. The cute dog wins again.
I was looking forward to watching a lot of good movie trailers and I wasn't disappointed by this year's selection. The trailer that caught my eye the most, though, was the one for "Limitless", a movie about a man who is offered a pill that will allow him to access 100% of his brain. The trailer left me wondering and wanting more. I would say that the trailer successfully targets an older audience.
Pepsi Max produced a variety of commercials, but I enjoyed the one featuring a guy who exacts revenge against a group of guys who taunt him by firing cans of Pepsi Max at them while indulging in a can himself. The direct use of comedy targeted audiences of all ages.
The CareerBuilder.com commercial, while very funny, inspires people not to settle for less, especially when it comes to finding their dream job. As the car of the guy in the commercial gets destroyed by one monkey-driving car after another, you can't help but feel sorry for him while simultaneously laughing at the situation. The ad targets adults wishing to start a new career path and accomplishes that goal very effectively.
Many of you might not agree with my opinions. I encourage you to make a list of your top favorites and share them in the comment section below. You can visit AdBlitz's YouTube channel to replay all of your favorite 2011 Super Bowl commercials.

If you're signed in to your Google Account when you search on Google, you might also get personalized predictions and recommendations. If you don't want to get these, turn off Web & App Activity. Learn how to turn off Web & App Activity.
Turn off trending searches
If you don't want to see trending searches, you can change your settings.
Note: You can't turn off search predictions. Search predictions are built into Google Search to help you find information faster and easier. You can always choose not to click on a suggestion from search predictions.
- Open the Google app .
- At the bottom right, tap More Settings General.
- Turn off Autocomplete with trending searches.
How autocomplete works
Google makes search predictions based on factors, like popularity or similarity. When you choose a prediction, you do a search using the term you selected.
Where search predictions come from
- Search terms you type.
- Relevant searches you've done in the past, if you're signed in to your Google Account and have Web & App Activity turned on.
- What other people are searching for, including trending searches. Trending searches are popular topics in your area that change during the day and aren't related to your search history. To get current trending searches, go to Google Trends.
Search predictions aren't the answer to your search. They also aren't statements by other people or Google about your search terms.How search predictions are made
Search predictions are generated by an algorithm automatically without human involvement. The algorithm is:
- Based on several factors, like how often others have searched for a term.
- Made to show the range of information on the web. You might get predictions related to many popular topics.
If no predictions appear for a search term, the algorithm might have detected that:
- The search term isn't popular.
- The search term is too new. You might need to wait a few days or weeks to see predictions.
- An insulting or sensitive term was associated with a name and a rule was applied.
- The search term violates Google's policies. Learn more about Autocomplete policies.
Report a prediction
While we do our best to prevent inappropriate predictions, we don't always get it right. If you think a prediction violates one of the Autocomplete policies, you can report it:
- In the search bar, below the prediction, click Report inappropriate predictions.
- Provide your feedback, then click Send.
We'll analyze your feedback but we don't automatically remove reported predictions.

If your child is old enough, explain the seriousness of her vision problem and the consequences of not following the prescribed treatment plan.
Kids love to be special. Decorate your child's patches with crayons, markers, stickers, sequins. Draw holiday patches and designs. Have fun and encourage your child to participate.
There are a number of good children's books on amblyopia. Check at your local library.
Learn about your child's vision problem. Use all the resources available to you. Ask your eye doctor about resources for children with amblyopia. Visit your local library or surf the Internet.
Many kids experience a rash or irritation from the adhesive tapes using with patches. Some parents put medicated ointments or moisturizers on the area where the adhesive sticks, after removing the patch. Others use special products designed to be used to minimize irritation before applying the patch to help it stick and to prevent skin irritation.
Talk with your child's teachers. Let them know what is going on with your child. Many times they are ready to help and can explain the vision problem to other students. This can help your child feel more comfortable in the classroom.
Learn everything you can about your eye condition. The more you understand, the less worry you may experience. Educating yourself helps you confront concerns and speak intelligently with your eye doctor and others. Knowledge gives you control.
Preventing eye injury is a must for everyone, especially kids with a weaker eye. Children's eyeglasses should have polycarbonate lenses. Also, eyeguards and faceshields are recommended for children who participate in sports.

2006-07-31 [Nuit Darksin]: we need a police class
2006-07-31 [Xeroh Kanoe]: Police huh...mabey...
2006-07-31 [Nuit Darksin]: sweet
2006-07-31 [Jeed]: i dont think the police class would be a good idea. the laws, and protocols, are different everywhere and it would be useless to just make a general police class
2006-07-31 [Nuit Darksin]: well true
2006-08-01 [Xeroh Kanoe]: Good point.
2006-08-22 [cjhill89]: I am curious on how to join the facalty here and help teach and or toutor.
2006-08-22 [Jeed]: if you'de liek to teach, please find a subject that needs teaching and, using the classroom template provided on the BoG page, create your classroom, then submite it for review by the BoG and we'll go from there
2006-08-28 [mattpoi]: is there any chance there could be a section for the circus/perform
2006-08-28 [Melocrie]: Yeah a poi academy would be cool! I'm really dying to learn that lol. A friend of mine has his own group named Lughtopia, and he's a daredevil with fire!
2006-08-28 [mattpoi]: not sure what to put it under though, any sugestions?
2006-08-28 [Melocrie]: How about "Circus Sports"? Though that gives you more like a clown idea... maybe "The Art of Twirling?" nah... i dunno...
2006-08-29 [mattpoi]: how about street performance art??
ive seen a fair few people with poi aqnd staff and unicycle and juggling are obviously used
2006-08-29 [Melocrie]: Yeah that's much better! "Street Entertainments
2006-09-26 [Imperator]: There needs to be a "Fantasy History" department to get some of these fantasy classrooms out of the History Department. History of the Drow does not belong beside History of Australia!
2006-09-26 [Sunrose]: Why? The department of History can just gather two categories of history.
2006-09-26 [Nuit Darksin]: Guys histories history fake or not. History of Drow is in the history department get over it.
2006-09-26 [Jeed]: but wouldnt it be a sound idea to make another department for fantasy history? and add more to it, seeing this is a fantasy community and all.
2006-09-26 [Nuit Darksin]: not really like I said histroies history fake or not. I mean you can present the idea to the council or whoever. And see what they say. I'm pretty sure they'll say the samething.
2006-09-26 [Sunrose]: I don't see a reason to create another department that attends to the same topic in general. We make separate departments for subjects that can't be put anywhere else. The name 'History' doesn't exclude fantasyhistory
The dividing of fantasy and reality history can be done in the department itself.
2006-09-26 [Nuit Darksin]: thank you sunrose that's what I have been saying. ^^
2006-09-27 [Imperator]: Its just logical for practical reasons because if someone is trying to do some History project they would rather not have to sort out what is Fantasy and what is real. Besides, like [Jeed] said, Elftown IS based on fantasy so it might as well be seperate from real history. And since plain ol' "history" does include fantasy, maybe "history" should be disolved and two new departments set up with the names "Fantasy History" and "World Histories" or something like that.
2006-09-27 [Nuit Darksin]: yeah that's why if you ever bother to take the time to look in the history department you'll notice that each history subject has it's own link with the correct inforamtion with that history. DEE DEE DEE!
2006-09-27 [Imperator]: Well no duh! But I didn't even know what the "drow" was before I went to the wiki and before I went to the wiki I guessed it must be some cult in England or something! I didn't expect to find some fairy creatures in the HISTORY department! DEE DEE DEE!!!!
2006-09-28 [Nuit Darksin]: well now you know. So let's just leave it at that. :D
2006-09-28 [Jeed]: please lets keep the quibbling to a minimum
2006-09-28 [Nuit Darksin]: yeah yeah we stopped
2006-09-30 [Imperator]: Like I said, elftown is based on fantasy so it would be right to give it its own department and keep it seperate from the real stuff. It would make both departments a lot more orderly!
2006-09-30 [Sunrose]: As I said before, this should be taken care of in the department. We're not going to create a separate department for this.
2006-10-01 [True, plain and simple]: She means that the history department is responsible for deciding whether or not it wants to divide fantasy-histor
2006-10-02 [Sunrose]: Yes :)
2006-10-10 [mattpoi]: ok guys i finally got some stuff on that performance arts section, submitted it too so check it out
2007-04-21 [Fingon]: I think that history is one thing and fantasy another so I think we should devide this things!!
2007-04-21 [Fingon]: As you can see Fantasy History has been separated from, but is working under the department of History. For any questions you can ask me [Fingon].
2007-06-03 [xKILLxSMILEx]: Can you be a student?
2007-06-03 [Sunrose]: Yes :)
2007-06-18 [Sunrose]: <news:Elftown Academy Make-over!> :)
2007-06-18 [Dark Side of the Moon]: [Sunrose], do the news links not work in your ET house? I tried to put it in mine but it links to unknown news. oO
2007-06-18 [Sunrose]: You have to write <news:407>, not the news title: Elftown does that for you ;)
2007-06-18 [Dark Side of the Moon]: ahhhhh.... thank you! :)
2007-06-18 [Sunrose]: You're welcome ^^'
2007-06-19 [Ilana]: I haven't really been paying attention to the Elftown Academy lately, but I have a quick question. How come you had the ET Academy drawing contest if you aren't going to use the winner as the actual illustration for the main page? Not that it's terribly important or anything...
2007-06-19 [Mordigen]: I remember that the image use to change at random, everytime you opened the page, giving every artist/illustr
2007-06-19 [Linderel]: [Mordigen], I think you're confusing the Elftown frontpage with this, now. :P
2007-06-19 [Mordigen]: no, I swear it changed! I'm not imagining things, I promise --- like I said, it coulda just been some sort of weird fluke thing with my broweser being posessed....bu
2007-06-19 [Linderel]: *blink* Weird.
2007-06-19 [Sunrose]: Currently your drawing is used on ETA Classes, [Ilana]. I just thought a little colour on the main wiki would cheer it up a bit :) I can put it back here though if you want, it did win first place and it is a really good image too :D
[Linderel]: That is weird indeed, I only changed the image once :/
2007-06-19 [Imperator]: Question: Should we change our green divider bars in classrooms to the new color of divider bar or does it not really matter?
2007-06-19 [Sunrose]: It's not a matter of life and death, but the new divider is the one that will from now on be used for the Academy.
It might be though that one of the BoG comes along and changes the divider, if you haven't done so already. We're planning on doing a bit of classroom clean up.
If your classroom already looks very clean though, I don't think they will bother for the divider alone :)
I guess I don't have a too clear answer on that :P
2007-06-19 [Imperator]: Well you did spell it out quite nicely anyway so thanks. :-)
2007-06-19 [Sunrose]: *^_^*
2007-06-20 [Isilando]: \(^_^)/
2007-06-20 [Fingon]: What happend to my badge am I going to get it back?:)
2007-06-20 [Ilana]: I guess I don't mind. As long as my image is used somewhere! :)
2007-06-20 [Sunrose]: It is, it is! ^_^
2007-10-17 [Triola]: Oooh, what an impressive image! >.> Man that one almost killed me, MS Paint ftw! :P
2007-10-17 [Sunrose]: Heh :P
2007-11-01 [babycheechee]: l have a question for you guy how do you join this wiki and can ljoin this wiki please
2007-11-22 [Imperator]: These "ETA dividers" only come in one size, we need a small one also like the old green dividers.
2007-11-23 [Sunrose]: -- By [True, plain and simple] :)
2007-11-24 [Imperator]: Yay! Thanks! :-)
2007-12-01 [sunabozu]: hello cna i join
2007-12-01 [Imperator]: Anyone can join as a student, just look through ETA Classes for anything that interests you. :-)
2007-12-20 [Imperator]: [Sunrose], can we add some requirements onto the Apply to the Academy page?
1. Classrooms can NOT be password protected.
2. Classrooms must be "freely editable".
3. All classrooms must link back to their departments, indeed to the CORRECT department...
Also the pages Game Development, Celtic Languages, Mineralogy, Paleontology, and Plate Tectonics class are password protected. If you would... :p
And is there a reason why the Ancient Greek Classroom page doesn't have an "edit" button?
2007-12-20 [Linderel]: The owner of that last classroom has made it editable by owner only.
2007-12-20 [Imperator]: Oh, I should have known that. :-)
2007-12-20 [Sunrose]: You don't need rule 1 if you already have rule 2 ;)
It should be sufficient to tell them to link back to the department the class falls under. If they then still link to the wrong one, I doubt anything we'd say would've helped :P
Pages fixed :)
2007-12-20 [Imperator]: lol, good point. :p
Would you like me to do that?
2007-12-20 [Sunrose]: I already added some lines to the apply-wiki :)
The classroom template itself already had 'department' mentioned at the bottom..
2007-12-21 [Imperator]: Good, dealing with these issues is becoming rather irritating... >:-(
2007-12-21 [Sunrose]: Now you know :P
2007-12-21 [Imperator]: lol, yet I still enjoy doing it. Fixing classrooms is actually very satisfying work.
2007-12-21 [Mordigen]: hooo hoooo, wait, hold on there just a sec....can I add in 2 cents? ok, well, i'm going to anyhow, so deal with it :P lol
I do not think adding in the new rules 1 and/or 2 are a good thing, at all. I think people should be given to the right to protect their classrooms and there work -- especially when I know of a lot of people aorund who'd be willing ot mess with pages just for spite, and I know that I work hard on my class, even if I dont update all that often, I take note regularly, all the time in my spare time, and then when I have enough to add in a new update, I put them together, rewrite it and update -- that is a lot of work to be done, and a lot of time dedicated to it that I know I would be irritated to find out that later it got messed up by someone who may be new and confused, or just some trouble maker.
howsabout something like - you can put a password on your classrooms, but you must turn in the password to the BoG for the record? That way people can protect their work, but if they go MIA, the password is on record to avoid complications in changing/updat
2007-12-21 [Imperator]: If the page gets messed up you can just view the previous version and fix it. Additionally, I have never heard of or experienced anyone deliberately damaging a wiki page.
2007-12-21 [Firenze]: I have seen and experienced peoples wiki pages being damaged and have restored them in the past so it does happen but on a rare basis. But I agree with [Mordigen] I think that owners should have the right to protect their work but as long as is in the classroom template and has been approved of ^_^
I also think the idea of having a list of passwords for each classroom is a good idea ^_^ Will save a lot of time when it comes to editing pages if needed.
2007-12-21 [Imperator]: I suppose a password list that is submitted to the BoG could work. There can only be one password though, otherwise there will have to be a big password-class
2007-12-21 [Sunrose]: The beauty of wiki-pages is that they are easily restored. If someone thought to destroy it, all they really did is expose themselves as assholes who can be taken care of by the Guards.
Personally I vote against lists of any kind, because they always require maintenance. If there is only one password for the entire Academy, I don't think it's going to take long for everyone to know about it.
When people sign up to the Academy now, they need to read the rules. If they don't agree to it, they can choose to not participate. Not adding a password to the wiki isn't going to change the ownership of the wiki and its content, and the fact that they can be restored.
The bigger problem is that people create passworded classrooms and then leave them to rot :/
2007-12-22 [Mordigen]: I suppose they are easily restored, but it was a thought.
How about the people who were here before the rule changes?
I know of a few pages that have passwords on them.....
or like, my page....would we have to removed passwords if we had them there before the rule change?
because, to be completely honest, i just really don't want to remove my password
Hate to sound like I'm being so difficult, but I'm just really a huge fan of the passwords lmao
Is there anyway to *easily* find a middle ground?
Like -- is there any way to bypass the passwords....
I don't know where I'm going with this really, I know that certain people on ET like certain guards and council members and such can remove or change passwords if need be -- but I also know that can be a lot of work or a pain in the ass to do, but I was thinking something along the lines of forum members --- is that possible?
Like I said, i don't know where I'm going with this, or if I'm making any sense
just trying to see if theres an easily accomplishable middle ground
2007-12-29 [Imperator]: I don't think having passwords for the entire academy will work. I guess we can just say that classrooms may be protected if they are maintained, otherwise the passwords will be removed and the page repaired. It could be a sort of warning label I suppose.
[Sunrose], can I go through and synchronize all the teacher lists on the departments to the classrooms or vice versa and remove inactive teachers from both pages?
2007-12-29 [Sunrose]: It depends, some teachers should remain credited for their contributions.
2007-12-29 [Imperator]: How about I remove any inactive teachers but mention them at the bottom of the classroom page?
2007-12-30 [Sunrose]: Cool :)
2007-12-30 [Imperator]: Yeah, I thought I could convince you to let me do work. :p
2007-12-30 [Imperator]: Ok, I have finished removing inactive teachers but crediting them at the bottom of their classrooms and putting question marks next to classes without teachers on the department pages.
2007-12-31 [Sunrose]: Great work! *^__^*
2007-12-31 [Imperator]: Yay! Let's just hope the professors will take care to maintain their departments now...
2008-01-05 [Imperator]: How would everyone feel about creating a Fantasy department that would consolidate anything fantasy related that is currently sprinkled around other departments?
2008-01-05 [Sunrose]: It depends. Are you going to remove all those things from the other departments and put them in the Fantasy department?
Because I'm against adding classes to two departments. If we start doing that it means that if a class needs removed, you have to start checking all departments in case it was mentioned twice :/
It would make maintenance even more work..
2008-01-05 [Imperator]: Yeah, I was thinking that we would remove all fantasy classrooms from the other departments and put them in a new Fantasy department. There's one classroom in the history department, two in the mythology department, and two in the language department that could go in it.
2008-01-05 [Sunrose]: It depends where it would be more logical to find them I suppose..
Which all are they?
2008-01-06 [Imperator]:
History of the Drow
Quenya Classroom
Sindarin Classroom
Goetia Deamons Classroom
Legends of Hyrule Classroom
I also found that contest for writing descriptions of fantasy creatures and those descriptions would make another good classroom.
2008-01-06 [SilverFire]: Why do you class the Goetia as a "fantasy" class? I'm not sure myself that it belongs in mythology, but I'm even more certain that it definitely doesn't belong in fantasy. That's like putting "Saints of the Bible class" in fantasy. :/
Actually, thinking about it - it might just be better to delete all links to the classroom, rather than try to re-categorise it. All of the information that's on the page can be found in the Goetia itself, along with more info.
2008-01-06 [Imperator]: The truth is I don't know what "Goetia" is. I just assumed it was someone's creative invention.
2008-01-06 [Skydancer]: The Goetia is a Kabbalistic / hebrew / historical gnostic document from the philosophy of magic practiced by such groups as the Golden Dawn etc. Its a demonic / angelic manipulation system based on the control and binding of demons and angels in a particular slice of religious belief.
2008-01-06 [Imperator]: That link really cleared things up. Now I'm not so sure the class should even exist; I agree with [SilverFire] because it doesn't even tell you what "Goetia" is.
But as to the main point, would it be fine if those other classes were moved to a new fantasy department page?
2008-01-06 [Sunrose]: Meh, we'd be creating a department for 4 classrooms that already have a department. It's not absolutely necessary..
And I'd sooner look for a language among languages, even if it's a fantasy language.
2008-01-06 [Imperator]: Mmm. Fair enough.
2008-01-07 [Mordigen]: i agree -- even though the quenya and sindarin are made up, I, as well as most tolkien fans, completey consider them a valid language, and when the thought first crosses your head, you'd be more apt to look for them under "languages" rather than fantasy
2008-01-16 [Sunrose]: center doesn't work if you put an enter between it, you have to open and close both lines with the tag :)
2008-01-16 [Imperator]: Yeah, I made the changes then saw the messed up picture but you were fixing it before I could even try. :p
2008-01-16 [Sunrose]: Speedy Gonzalesss :P
2008-01-18 [Imperator]: There: the new, evil page is gone and I have done a bit of editing on the Apply to the Academy page. Is sunny feeling all sunny now? :-)
2008-01-21 [Duke Devlin]: 2008-01-16 Sunrose: center doesn't work if you put an enter between it, you have to open and close both lines with the tag :)
Centre works if you put a space on the empty lines, after pressing enter. :)
2008-01-22 [Imperator]: Really? Cool! I'll use that trick.
2008-01-22 [Duke Devlin]: :D Yep! I was so excited when I found that out, a friend told me! :D XD Sadly a little too excited. XP
2008-01-22 [Imperator]: lol! Looks like it. :P
2008-01-24 [Mortified Penguin]: ...Uh huh... *eats ramen*...
2008-01-24 [Duke Devlin]: ... You are everywhere Mort. XD
2008-01-24 [Imperator]: That might be true but it's not hard to get right "here". :D
2008-01-24 [Duke Devlin]: ... True.. XD
2008-01-24 [Imperator]: Hmmmmm. Since you have time to linger here, perhaps I should force you to teach a classroom and take on loads of work....
2008-01-24 [Mortified Penguin]: Loads of work?! ...*dives out the window*...
2008-01-24 [Duke Devlin]: ... Haha! Unlikely! I have my own work to be doing! *runs away*
2008-01-24 [Imperator]: Muwahahaha!
2008-01-24 [Duke Devlin]: .... *Dukey has left the building, please notify the authorities*
2008-04-27 [Mordigen]: who are you talking to? or are you just spamming? eewww. spamming is nasty.........
2008-04-28 [Duke Devlin]: Wow you should give up Alexander2war.
2008-04-28 [Imperator]: Fine Fine! All gone now.
2008-04-28 [Duke Devlin]: Goooood. =]
2008-04-28 [Mordigen]: Alex - if you really want to help out certain ET pages you feel passionate about - make up a campaign for them and help advertise in the Advertising Forum, the Wiki Forum or on *appropriate* advertising /classified wiki pages designed just for those reasons -- there are a TON of them around here, ya just gotta find the right one :)
2008-04-28 [Imperator]: Advertising wiki pages? I've never heard of any such thing.
2008-04-28 [SilverFire]: The Wiki's Wiki Page, Featured Wiki
2008-04-29 [Jeed]: yea spamming is bad, especially when you help run the place. mordigen is right in reccommending advertising in the right places, i concur with silverfire on featured wiki page.
2008-04-29 [Mortified Penguin]: All 100 and something members of Bob's Diner came from Turkey and my illegal spamming... advertising on places designed for advertising will never do you any good. The only people that go to advertising wikis are those who are seeking to advertise and not necessarily invest their time in someone else's wiki. To find people willing to waste their lives on your wiki, you must seek out populated wikis (like official elftown wikis) and spam as much as you can. This has been a public service announcement from Mortified Penguin. Warning: Any banning caused by following this guideline is not blamable on Mort. Spam at your own risk.
2008-04-29 [Duke Devlin]: Wow.. Now that is some impressive bull****. Okay, so it is logical, but generally Mort, spamming is just annoying.. Perhaps you could try attracting members though casual plugging - different to spamming in my eyes, if it is relevant to the topic at hand - to members of ET in conversation? ;) I can't even remember now how I appeared at BD.
2008-04-29 [Mortified Penguin]: Casual plugging works as well. Notice how I made sure to make Bob's Diner a link while talking about it earlier... as well as now! But can you really blame me? I mean... it has great food and is open 24/7!
2008-04-29 [Duke Devlin]: Casual plugging is ultimately preferable to everyone, in my opinion anyway, simply because it at least makes you appear as though you care about what they are talking about. ;)
And yes, I do notice that everytime you mention BD, it is a link. ;) It is a great place, I must admit. XD Entertaining at least.
2008-04-29 [Mortified Penguin]: Now... by BD, I assume you mean BOB'S DINER... right?
2008-04-30 [Jeed]: lest try ot keep this page strictly to topics containing the academy please
2008-04-30 [Imperator]: I don't see what the big deal is anyway if no one even says anything and I leave one comment suggesting they should visit another volunteer based wiki like this one. And since both of you have time to keep jabbering, perhaps you should go take over a teacherless classroom, eh?
2008-04-30 [Mordigen]: Because Elftown has rules against spamming, not chatting
2008-04-30 [Imperator]: Like they said, as long as it is somewhat relevant, which my comment was, it hardly counts as spam. And if there are no rules against chatting, why is anything not ETA related shoveled off this page?
2008-04-30 [Mordigen]: 1 - they were not relevant at all, they were complete random and individual comments not partaking in any conversation that you just *happened* to mention them, and were not relevent to the academy. That is spam.
2 - there are no rules against chatting *snorts*
3 - the page owners of ANY wiki page can clean out or delete comments of anything they want to, whenever they want to
4 - You are making this so much more than it is, just let it go silly :P
2008-04-30 [Imperator]: I would say you are making this more than it is as their comments achieved the original goal of removing my spam. And then the conversation was resulting in spamming.
2008-05-01 [Jeed]: its just a vicious circle.......
2008-05-01 [Mordigen]: pphhhh *rolls eyes* whatever dude. you need to lighten up, chill out. Drink some tea, eat some chocolate, smoke...someth
2008-05-01 [Triola]: :O Mordigen! Condoning smoking on the page of a learning institution? :O :P
2008-05-01 [Imperator]: Listen, we've been over this so many times! I don't like tea! >:-(
2008-05-01 [SilverFire]: There was a lecturer in the University of California doing a course on the Kabbalah who found a quote in the Zohar which he interpreted as saying it was forbidden to study Kabbalah without smoking pot. So he demanded his students smoke pot.
2008-05-01 [Duke Devlin]: Wow, now that is a weird lecturer. oO
2008-05-01 [Mortified Penguin]: You don't like tea? Them's fightin' words! *slaps Alexander*
2008-05-01 [Mortified Penguin]: I need to go study the kabbalah... *gets bong*...
2008-05-01 [Duke Devlin]: No one needs to study Kabbalah. Well, from what I remember about it.. It requires an awful lot of money. -____-
And tea is the best. <3
2008-05-01 [Mortified Penguin]: I only like it 'cause I'm Southern...
2008-05-01 [Duke Devlin]: Damn straight.. I only like it cause I am cliché British person. ;)
2008-05-01 [SilverFire]: ? You don't need money to study Kabbalah. O.o
2008-05-02 [Mordigen]: hey hey hey hey, wait now. I never once mentioned "pot" or anything of the like --- I said smoke something *points at silver fire* She broke out the P word first :D
and Alex, yes, we've been over this many times --- you dont like tea, and your crazy because tea rocks.....and, btw, i never said like it, I said DRINK it XP
2008-05-02 [Mordigen]: oh yea, and just too add in my 2 cents on this interesting subject --- I've heard a lot of validity behind the Zohar quote. And then now at my hubby's work, the owners of the compony and all their children are very strict orthodox Jews, and are all complete and utter potheads - there are supposedly many teachings in the Torah and in the Kabbalah about it being used for spiritual wellness and God putting things here for our benefit and such. Very interesting stuff :)
2008-05-02 [SilverFire]: I read an interesting article about whether Moses was 'high' when he saw the burning bush, from a Jewish scholar who claimed such methods were, an are, valid ways to aid in communication with God. (I believe he meant communication in specific moments, rather than as an over-all lifestyle), but I can't remember where I saw the article.
2008-05-03 [Mordigen]: I remember hearing many things about that too, not a whole article, but breifly mentioned in many of the bible shows on history channel and that one show that used to come on A&E all the time with the star trek guy narrating it.....i cant remember the name of the show now, i'm having a brain fart. But i've heard that mentioned many times before so that's got to have some legitimacy to it lol
2008-06-03 [Imperator]: Attention all members of the Elftown Academy, please note that the following departments are without a professor and any current teachers or other professors interested should drop an application by the Board of Governors at the Academy Applications page for approval to take charge of a department!
Fencing and Martial Studies, Languages, Life Science, Math, Musics, and Mythology.
2008-09-30 [Imperator]: Curse you all for ignoring my summons!
2008-10-01 [Jeed]: no one's ignored it, they just dont want the job.
2008-10-01 [Imperator]: Curse you all for not wanting jobs!
2008-10-04 [Ramirez]: Sooo... I can't seem to find this anywhere, but do you have to apply to be a student, or do you just sign up at the classes? And what if the classes I'm interested in are not active?
2008-10-04 [Imperator]: You just sign up to be a student and if the class has no active teachers you can still add your name anyway. :-)
2008-10-04 [Ramirez]: so, do I just read things and ask questions if I have any? Or is there like.. actually a lesson every month or so?
2008-10-04 [Imperator]: Most classes aren't updated monthly anymore. So yes, you just read and ask any questions you have. Hopefully a teacher will be active and can get back to you. :P
2008-10-04 [Ramirez]: Awesomeness. I'll look more into classes when I become unlazy.
2008-10-05 [Imperator]: :P
2008-10-28 [King John Dragon Slayer]: I wanna be a student! and then I, King John Dragon Slayer, will be the BEST TEACHER IN THE WORLD, homes. UNICORNS RULE!
2008-10-28 [King John Dragon Slayer]: Wait, do we have to be a student first and then be a teacher, or can we just become a teacher? for my kowledge is already limitless in medieval stuff and unicorns. What else can one learn? So can I just click somewhere and be a teacher? someoen tell me, pls.
2008-10-28 [Thunder Cid]: You must apply to be a teacher. See apply to the academy :P
2008-11-29 [Jeed]: oooo, and **plug**
2008-11-30 [Imperator]: Please do. Everything here is running quite slowly... :-(
2009-01-10 [Susanisonfire]: What does everyone know about 2012 and FEMA Death Camps?
2009-01-11 [Imperator]: I have no idea what you're talking about so nothing at all... This seems to be something for the General Debate forum instead as the Academy doesn't have any political oriented classrooms. :-)
2009-01-16 [Mordigen]: It could be Academy Related - there could be a class on conspiracy theories and stuff of the like, so I don't see why it should be so quickly dismissed.
I've heard tons upon tons of things on 2012, I'm not sure about the FEMA deat camps though. But it sounds like something I could quickly believe in *snickers*
2009-04-08 [Alexi Ice]: The badges are cute!

2009-04-09 [Alexi Ice]: I want an owl badge! ^^

2009-04-09 [Alexi Ice]: Oh...I was gonna create an application ^^
2009-04-10 [Imperator]: You do that when you create a classroom and want to submit it. :-)
2009-06-04 [lraina]: hmm guess my previous comment didnt stick....

The voice on the other end of the line was very familiar, but the discussion topic was brand new. Randy Waldrum hadn't called Brittany Bock to reminisce about their time together at Notre Dame. The head coach was stitching together his roster for the expansion Houston Dash and Waldrum was getting in touch to let the midfielder know he wanted her to be a central part of it.
Bock was a stand-out with the Fighting Irish under Waldrum's tutelage from 2005-08, earning Big East Co-Offensive player of the year honors in her junior year. The Illinois native was the first player selected by the Dash in the expansion draft and Waldrum likes her style, viewing her as a midfield metronome who can set the team's pace with her all-action approach. Dash by nature—and now Dash by name.
"Outside of the fact that I think that she's a really good soccer player, she's just got this winning heart and competitive drive with her. She's fearless with her tackling, she's fearless in the air, you don't really see that much in the women's game," Waldrum told HoustonDashSoccer.com.
"Sometimes fearless to a fault—sometimes she should be a little smarter in realizing that's not the place to make the tackle, a 'live for another day' kind of thing—but she doesn't know that, she's full blast and 100 miles an hour all the time. I just love that competitive drive. She hates to lose, she makes other players around her better. That's kind of why we recruited her at Notre Dame and she had a great career for us there."
Bock was eager to reunite with Waldrum. "He called me up and told me he wanted me and it felt good to be wanted that bad. So it definitely makes you want to play for a coach like that when they show so much interest and give you so much support," she told HoustonDashSoccer.com.
"I was in Wyoming with my sister and got the news about the team and Randy and I was like, what? That's crazy! And all of a sudden, the expansion draft and getting a phone call, and I get butterflies … It's been five years since I've played for him so I've grown as a player and he's continued to grow as a coach."
Bock's history testifies to the sometimes turbulent nature of professional women's soccer in this country. She played for the Los Angeles Sol in 2009. When they folded she moved to the Washington Freedom, then on to the Western New York Flash in 2011, winning the WPS title. When WPS shut down in 2012, Bock joined the Colorado Rush in the W-League. The following year she signed with New Jersey's Sky Blue FC in the newly-formed NWSL, but injuries limited her appearances. When Sky Blue left her unprotected for January's draft, the Dash pounced.
She thinks that operating under the control of an MLS parent in a big city could be a significant asset for the Dash, as has proved the case in Portland. "It's just a great community first of all in Houston, the people here, the support, but also the professionalism within the club," she said. "We are starting completely new but we've got management who've gone through that with the Dynamo. I think it should be something great here … There's a great support system."
Aged 26, Bock is eager to embrace a leadership role with the Dash both on and off the field. "I've always enjoyed doing that but I've been playing with so many veterans in the pro league so at times I've taken, not a back seat, but there've been so many people that you're looking up to," she said.
"I'm one of the more veteran players on this team, I do think I have a lot of experience to offer. It's great because I think I'm a very approachable person. You've got rookies who are coming, 22 years old, and I'm 27 this year. So I'm not too much older but they're looking up to us older ones. I'm telling some of them, don't be afraid, you guys are here for a reason."
That reason is the 2014 NWSL season, which gets underway at BBVA Compass Stadium on April 12 when the Dash debut at home to the reigning champions, the Portland Thorns (TICKETS). Preseason training began last week and the team's first-ever match went well: a 4-0 victory over Rice University in a scrimmage on Wednesday. Next up is the first of two scrimmages against a talented Texas A&M side at Houston Sports Park on Saturday (10 a.m. CT). Waldrum is using preseason matches to develop cohesion between the contracted players and to assess the trialists.
"I thought the trialists did really well [against Rice]," he said. "We're getting closer to making decisions on those eight players we still need to make a decision on in the next week." Waldrum said he was happy with elements of the performance in the second half, when the team mostly contained contracted players. "Bits and pieces I was pleased with, bits and pieces I think we still have a long way to go," he said.
"We moved a few players into new positions that we're looking at, like we moved Ella Masar into midfield and she's spent her whole pro career up front, I thought she did very well for us in midfield. We moved Nikki Washington from forward into outside back. She's coming off an injury so I only played her for about 25, 26 minutes but I thought she adapted well. She's one that could make a really good outside back for us because she's so good at getting up and down the line and she's such a great athlete."
After a week and a half of training and intra-squad games, Bock was excited to pull on a Dash jersey and face another team. While there are plenty of creases to iron out, as would be normal for any side at this stage, let alone a brand-new club, it was a reminder that the curtain-raiser against Portland is coming soon.
"It's right around the corner and we're a completely new team so we're still getting used to each other, the playing style, how the flow of the game's going to go," she said. "It was fun to get a game in." And enjoyable to play in fresh surroundings for a coach who helped her flourish at college. "It's fun to have some familiarity," she said. "I remember us buzzing at Notre Dame."

Boosting a Container Effect
How does Boost affect a Container effect? does it boost the container main effect which gives extra power points to spend on it's collection of powers? Or does it boost both the container effect AND it's contained effects, giving points to spend per contained effect PLUS the overall points for increasing the container effect?

Bear cub saved after head gets stuck inside cookie jar
Jessica Durando
Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar? Evidence overwhelmingly points to the bear cub.
In New Jersey, a 6-month-old bear got its head stuck in a discarded animal crackers jar after trying to eat whatever was left inside, the AP reports. It had been rummaging through trash in Ringwood, about 40 miles northwest of New York City.
What's worse? The cub became scared when approached, climbed a tree and got stuck about 40 feet up there.
Thankfully, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection staffers rescued the poor 28-pound animal Friday night, according to AP.
A biologist sedated the animal. It was brought down from the tree. And firefighters cut the jar off its head.

Beverly Hills Thin-Off
The new 90210 will premiere on September 2nd. You may recognise one of the stars of the show Shenae Grimes from Degrassi. Or not. Because Degrassi is enjoyed by millions and egregiously unrecognised in Canada.
Here are Shenae and Jessica Stroup shooting scenes at The Komoko, location for the Peach Pit. As you can see, no food will be consumed at the Peach Pit. Because clearly at least two of the actors don't eat.
It's a West Beverly thin-off!
Those little legs. They look painful.
Shenae is gorgeous. So beautiful. But two years ago, it was like an overnight instant shrink. She seemed slightly better in Toronto in June for the upfronts but living in Hollywood surrounded by little people pressure, perhaps the expectation to be tiny is too much.
Of course if 90210 is a big hit, her thinnification will have paid off.

I am currently creating a website that is all about me to market myself to potential employers. I am currently a student who is about to graduate from Businesses School.  My sites content will be exactly like this web site: http://www.babaev.com/It will include an About tab that will be an essay about me, a Resume tab, a Gallery of photos, etc... The home page of my site will look very similar to this:http://www.philippe-starck.com/What I need is for someone to create me a logo of my name (Ariel Dagan) that is simple yet sharp and modern. The logo can be my first name, my last name, my initials, or both my first and last name. My website's background color will be white. I would like someone to incorporate at most two colors into the logo similar to phillip-starcks logo of gray and orange (just to let you know I like both of those colors – gray and orange VERY much).

The report proposes a "three-dimensional" LHDI, which reflects the philosophy of the global HDI. The LHDI differs from the HDI in the particular sub-indices used and in the different measurements available in public statistics or administrative sources. Authors propose also a group of additional context indicators which reflect other important dimensions of Human Development (HD) on the local Polish level. The methodology used captures regional disparities. The analysis shows that the territorial disaggregation of the HDI does not boil down to a simple recalculation of the same data at a lower territorial unit in order to receive a territorial unit ranking. Instead, the approach takes into consideration the human development trade-offs
The second Human Development Report of Uttar Pradesh has been prepared by the State Government highlighting the status of human development in U.P. with a detailed analysis of its key components viz., education, health and per capital income along with other related aspects. The Report indicates that the value of human development index in UP has increased steadily over the time. This is a healthy indicator of their commitment to enabling people to exercise their choice.
The Report focuses on poverty with the aim of contributing to the current debate within Georgia on the government's new poverty-reduction strategy. The Report explores different definitions and ways of measuring poverty, finding that the official 'poverty line' is considered unrealistically low by the general public, making it difficult for them to accept the poverty-reduction strategy as a whole. The Report therefore suggests an alternative method to calculate the 'poverty line' and includes, for the first time, a disaggregation of HDI at the regional level. The report goes on to investigate the causes of poverty to reveal the obstacles families face in securing a decent standard of living. These include lack of education, exorbitant healthcare costs, and unequal income distribution. The Report concludes with suggestions on how to improve the government's proposal, including more responsible spending, rooting out mismanagement in government, and improving the business environment. Finally, good governance is highlighted as one of the most crucial aspects in the fight against poverty.
The report provides an overview of the historical development in Korea starting at the end of the Korea war. Results in terms of socio-economic indicators are analysed and a set of policies is suggested to obtain equal distribution of welfare.

Remember that line from 'Empire Records,' "Who knows where thoughts come from? They just appear"? That's pretty much the first thing that popped into our mind when we saw the Exploding Actresses Tumblr.
Its conception boggles our minds, but rather than get hung up on how it came to be, we're just going to enjoy it. In addition to that video, they also have several slightly disturbing GIFs. Check out the site for more.

I think it is easy to read. Eleven Elephants reminds me about Ten Little Ghosts because it is about numbers. The pictures are dark because it is night. This book is cool because you can learn about numbers.
If you can't read very much you should read this book. I liked it very much.

Prostate Cancer: What Is Chemotherapy?
Chemotherapy drugs target and destroy prostate cancer cells. Although they are usually injected into a vein, some can be taken in pill form. Once these drugs enter the bloodstream, they spread throughout the body and can destroy prostate cancer cells wherever they find them. Chemo is given in cycles, with each period of treatment followed by a period of rest so your body has time to recover. Each treatment-and-rest cycle typically lasts several weeks.
It might be right for you if:
Your cancer has spread and hormone therapy has stopped working.
What you should know:
You probably know chemo can cause side effects, such as fatigue, nausea, hair loss, dry skin, nail changes, appetite loss and so on. However, you may be less aware that it can also cause anemia, low platelets and neutropenia, a drop in levels of white blood cells, the body's main infection fighters. Neutropenia is a problem because it can make you vulnerable to infection. Not only can that interfere with your chemotherapy schedule, it can also lead to life-threatening problems. Fortunately, many of these side effects can be prevented or treated and most subside after treatment ends. It's important to discuss any symptoms or concerns during your visit.

Pope phones Argentine shoemaker for shoe repairs
Vatican City, Apr 18, 2013 / 01:02 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- Pope Francis, who has quickly become known for his austere style, will continue using his simple black shoes and has called his shoemaker from his hometown of Buenos Aires, Argentina to repair them.
For 40 years, 81 year-old Carlos Samaria has provided shoes from his store on the outskirts of the Argentine capital for Pope Francis, who was known before his election to the papacy as Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio.
"Hello Samaria, it's Bergoglio," the phone conversation began.
"But who is this?" the shoemaker responded with surprise.
"Samaria, it's Francis, the Pope!" the Holy Father replied.
According to Vatican Radio's Brazilian program, the Holy Father told Samaria, "No red shoes, make them black like usual."
Samaria said the shoes Pope Francis wears "are simple and made of black leather, with a smooth toe and no decorations.
"If you were to grab one of the Pope's shoes it would feel like a clog, without any adornment but with laces," the shoemaker explained.
"He doesn't want new shoes, only that I fix his old ones," Samaria said.
However, he added that he is planning to "make a new but simple pair to be ready for him when he says I can visit, in May."

La Luz Beach Resort is one of the most popular beaches in San Juan, Batangas, along the long stretch of shorelines from Barangay Laiya-Aplaya to Barangay Hugom. It is easily accessible by car or public transport and is around 2-3 hour travel from Manila. The resort is usually packed during weekends so an advance booking is required especially for overnight stays. My friends Jasper and Meg booked in advance a day trip package for 6 persons at the resort to shoot their pre-nuptial video. Our first booking however, was canceled due to bad weather conditions but luckily they were able to rebook it. The resort requires 50% deposit to confirm a reservation, which must be paid at its office in Manila or deposited directly in its account.
Following the detailed "how to get there" directions of the resort's website, my friends and I left Alabang around 5 in the morning and had a pleasant road-trip to San, Juan, Batangas via South Luzon Express Way (SLEX). Except for the last few kilometers of rough road approaching La Luz, the trip was quick and smooth and making our way to the resort was easy with the help of numerous signboards and the directions provided on its website.
I didn't realize that this was the same resort we had passed by a week before on our way to trek Mt. Daguldol until I went to the shore and saw the familiar rocky cliff on its western end. The resort is clean and well-maintained. It isn't as pristine as the beaches of Zambales and it doesn't have the fine-white sand texture we all love, but it is probably the best beach in this area. If you walk further beyond the rocky cliff, the sand becomes even rougher and pebbly.
The different accommodations provide the basic needs and come with a set meal-package – 1,050 pesos for an overnight stay and 750 pesos for a day-trip. Our day-trip package included a lunch, afternoon snack, entrance fee, and use of the resort's facilities (beach chairs, cabanas, restrooms and dining pavilion). The cabanas are on a first-come first-served basis so it is important to go to the resort early especially on weekends and peak season. The food is served in a communal mess hall for both day-trippers and over-night visitors. It's not gourmet quality but the 4-dish meal is filling enough. You may want to dig-in the moment the food is ready because they may quickly change the viand for the next batch and the dessert may not be replenished at all once it is finished.
We mostly stayed in the cabana for the rest of the day while Meg and Jas were having their video shoot. The cabana is made of natural materials and draped with white curtains. The resort's surroundings evoke a relaxed and calm atmosphere and the lush foliage in its yard makes the surroundings shady and cool. It is also quiet and peaceful despite it being open to the residents of the area to walk through (perhaps it was also because we went there on a weekday). The weather that day was fantastic, and the whole place was just perfect for their pre-nuptial video shoot.
There is really nothing much to do at the resort if you're not into diving and snorkeling which are the main activities in store for visitors. Aside from swimming and kayaking, this place is best for a quiet and relaxing getaway from the city. This may not be an adventure-packed destination but its accommodation is good enough, and the facilities and the cozy ambiance is something I would recommend for a romantic getaway with your special someone, or laid-back bonding with your friends.
Special thanks to Meg and Jasper for inviting me to document their pre-nuptial video shoot and to Anna, Chay and Thor for a great company. Sa uulitin po

Most people realize that death is a part of life and that grieving loss is normal, but we often don't know much about grief itself. When a loved one has passed, the survivors may experience both a reaction to the current loss plus a resurgence of issues from an unresolved loss in the past. This one-two punch—sometimes called "complicated" grief—can make the bereavement process particularly difficult to navigate.
At Colma Cremation and Funeral Services, we're dedicated to providing Healthy Grief Support for survivors of loss. That means we guide you through the bereavement process, help you to understand how grief works, and share what we know about the importance of self-care for people recovering from loss.
We have 30 years of expertise providing Healthy Grief Support as an integral part of funeral practice. With our support, grieving can be more complete, healthier, and more positive

Basel hit with Europa League stadium ban
Basel must play their UEFA Europa League quarter-final home leg with Valencia behind closed doors after crowd trouble in the previous round.
UEFA's Control and Disciplinary Body announced the ruling on Wednesday after the club had been charged with two offences following their last 16 tie at Red Bull Salzburg.
The incidents in question occurred during the first half of their second-leg match in Austria, with referee Manuel Grafe having to stop the game after fans threw missiles onto the pitch at the Red Bull Arena.
Jonathan Soriano put Salzburg a goal to the good after Marek Suchy had been sent off in just the ninth minute for Basel, resulting in the Swiss fans' fury.
However, Basel turned the tie on its head with goals from Marco Streller and Gaston Sauro, setting up their meeting with Valencia in the next round.
The Swiss champions, who can appeal the decision, have also been handed a €107,000 fine, while a second game with be played behind closed doors if the club commit a similar offence in the next two years.
St Jakob-Park has become something of a fortress for Basel this season, who are unbeaten in their last 12 fixtures there and have lost just two home games all season.

Q: I am 65 years old and have Stage 2 Breast Cancer. My doctor is recommending a mastectomy. Am I a candidate for reconstructive surgery? Are there other options than mastectomy?
A: It all depends on your overall health and your other medical history. I see plenty of women aged 65 who are healthy and stable enough for breast reconstruction, and they often choose that option. When considering options for breast cancer treatment, breast conservation with lumpectomy may also be a suitable option for you. I recommend that patients ask about breast reconstruction when considering their breast cancer treatment plan.
Q: Is the breast reconstruction done immediately after mastectomy, or is there a delay?
A: Breast reconstruction is often done the same day as your mastectomy. Newer techniques in skin-sparing mastectomies can lead to a reconstruction that looks much more natural. If your treatment includes post-op radiation, however, studies show a benefit from delaying reconstruction up to 12 months after radiation is complete.
Q: There are several types of breast reconstruction. How do I choose the right one for me?
A: The basic types of reconstruction include: Implant (saline vs. silicone), tissue expander with staged implant later, flap reconstruction (using your own tissue for example TRAM/DIEP), or a combination of these. I'll typically review the options and show patients before and after photos, sample implants, and expanders. Deciding factors include: the need for contralateral mastectomy, need for post-op radiation, abdominal or other scars which might interfere with flap procedure, patient expectations, or other medical conditions. Nipple and areola reconstruction are the last step, and are often done in the office.
Q: Will there be other breast reconstruction options in the future?
A: Absolutely. One of the most exciting things on the horizon involves fat grafting with stem cell transfer. Fat can be taken from one part of the body, prepared, and transferred to create a natural-feeling breast or to fill in a defect from a lumpectomy. The fat cells are grafted, and then develop their own blood supply and grow where they are placed. This process is being studied and refined and shows great promise.
For more information, including before & after pictures of breast reconstruction surgeries, visit Dr. Coolidge on the website at www.CoolidgeMD.com. To schedule a consult, call (843) 208-2808.
Dr. Carol Ann Coolidge is a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon practicing in the Bluffton/Hardeeville area, and is currently chief of surgery at Coastal Carolina Hospital in Hardeeville, SC. Dr. Coolidge is also a breast cancer survivor, which gives her a different perspective into this discussion. "Breast reconstruction is a woman's choice. The topic can be really overwhelming," says Dr. Coolidge. "Every woman should know all the options open to her before making treatment choice. It's not just about vanity—it's about maintaining a woman's sense of wholeness and self-confidence."

The Grammys red carpet is the best of all the awards show red carpets, thanks to the encouragement to go untraditional with your look. Pharrell took this to heart, and wore what I wear to the gym. But obviously this needed to be dressed up a bit, and what better accessory than a hat? Specifically, Smoky the Bear's hat.
Further proof: he has more than one Smoky hat, in case one gets damaged while fighting forest fires.

Hello everyone!
I know that in Java is class WayPoint but I do not have a clue how it works. Is it just for gps systems?
I need to create program where are waypoints and white point is following them. That white point is controlled by keys - W (forward), A (left), S (backward), D (right), but it is moving like a car. That means if it (point) is "looking" to the north and want to go on west then class Robot has to press W and A at the same time (for cca 1 sec. to turn left - 90°).
I think it will be difficult to write it.
I guess there has to be another function (or 'constructor' is right?) which will be returning current position of white point. Something like this Help with Robot Class ?

Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints agreed on a five-year, $100 million contract, NFL Network's Michael Lombardi reported Friday.
Brees' contract is worth $40 million in the first year and includes $60 million in guaranteed money, a source with direct knowledge of the situation told Lombardi and NFL.com's Albert Breer.
The quarterback's new deal is worth an average of $20 million per year, making it the richest in the NFL based on average annual salary, and includes a $37 million signing bonus. With the bonuses counting against the cap on a pro-rated basis over the life of the contract -- $7.4 million per year in Brees' case -- he will only count $10.4 million against the cap in 2012.
Greg Bensel, the Saints vice president of communications, confirmed the deal later Friday via his Twitter account, though he did not mention financial terms.
Deal is Done!Love you, Who Dat Nation. See you soon!
â Drew Brees (@drewbrees) July 13, 2012
Brees and the Saints had reportedly been more than $10 million apart on the guaranteed portion of the contract.
"Congratulations are in order for our organization, our city, Drew and (wife) Brittany and certainly for (general manager) Mickey Loomis and his staff for all of the hard work put in to make this possible," Saints owner Tom Benson said in a statement. "Now we must turn our focus to getting ready for the start of training camp and to keeping with our goal of being the first team in NFL history to host and play in a Super Bowl."
Loomis said that the front office was excited to get the deal done.
"What Drew has accomplished in his time with the Saints, he deserves to be the highest paid player in the league," Loomis said in a statement.
Brees had been tagged as the Saints' exclusive franchise player and could not negotiate with other teams. Had a deal not been reached, the tender for a quarterback was worth $16.3 million. Brees would have had to play for that amount or hold out for a better one-year deal, which would have left his long-term future with the New Orleans Saints uncertain.
Brees, who had been steadfast in not wanting to play for a one-year deal, skipped the Saints' offseason practices while holding out for his new long-term contract.
"I've said this all along. I know what our organization's about, I know what Drew's about. And I know much winning means to our organization and Drew," Saints interim head coach Joe Vitt told the Times-Picayune. "I was never concerned. I just think these things go down to the last minute. Mickey's gotta juggle contracts and the salary cap. Drew has to worry about getting the best deal he can because this could be the last big deal of his career."
"You know as well as I do, this is a great player. People throw the word 'great' around now like they're breath mints. But he is a great player," Vitt said.
The 33-year-old quarterback's new deal tops the previous benchmark contract for elite QBs set by the five-year, $96 million deal the Denver Broncos gave to Peyton Manning this offseason. Manning is three years older than Brees and sat out last season while recovering from neck surgery.
"I've been around six Hall of Fame players in recent years, and I've never been around a better player," Vitt added. "And combine that with the fact that he's an even better man, what can you say?"
Last season, Brees completed 468 passes for 5,476 yards, an NFL record, and 46 touchdowns while leading the Saints to a 13-3 record. New Orleans was subsequently eliminated in the NFC Divisional Playoff Game by the San Francisco 49ers.
Suspended Saints head coach Sean Payton was happy to see Brees rewarded for his contributions over the years.
"It's great to see what he has done here in six years and get rewarded," Payton told WWL-TV Sports. "He has got a lot of good football left. He has been durable, works extremely hard at it.
"Heâs one of those players not affected by the outside things. Some of that is the money, the awards. Those are important. But I think heâs driven in such a unique way. I think itâs a good day for Saints."
This offseason marked the first time Brees had the opportunity to negotiate a major, long-term deal with the leverage provided by a string of injury-free seasons and on-field highlights. Brees racked up a slew of individual and team statistical records and led the Saints to a win over the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

We need your help to urge Congress to end policies that put women, children, and families at the US-Mexico border in danger.
On July 11, 2011, Senators Al Franken (D-MN), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) reintroduced the Senate version of the "Humane Enforcement and Legal Protections for Separated Children," legislation that would implement critically needed reforms to protect children and families impacted by immigration enforcement.
The bill would ensure that parents and guardians apprehended by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or its surrogates are identified in a timely manner and provided the opportunity to make care arrangements for their minor children upon apprehension. The bill would prevent prolonged parent-child separation or the unnecessary loss of parental rights by ensuring that parents and guardians are able to regularly communicate with their children, the child welfare system, and family courts. The legislation would minimize hardship on children and save taxpayers millions of dollars by reducing the likelihood that children will be placed unnecessarily into the foster care system.

A report published by the Urban Institute, "Facing Our Future: Children in the Aftermath of Immigration Enforcement", echoes the need for policy change to protect the rights of children and families impacted by immigration enforcement and reaffirms the Women's Refugee Commission's recommendations for addressing the crisis impacting immigrant families.
The Women's Refugee Commission collaborated on a report published by First Focus, "The Impact of Immigration Enforcement on Child Welfare," which explores the obstacles to family reunification caused by placing children whose parents are apprehended on immigration charges into the child welfare system.

Hollywood actor Mark Ruffalo has written an open letter explaining his pro-choice stance as his mother underwent an illegal abortion in her youth.
The Avengers star is adamant lawmakers should not bow to pressure to restrict access to terminations, and he cites the story of his mum, Marie Rose Ruffalo, as an example.
In a letter posted online in support of the pro-choice Stop Patriarchy organisation, Ruffalo reveals his mother suffered a "traumatising" experience in her younger years when abortion was illegal.
The actor writes, "I am a man. I could say this has nothing to do with me. Except I have two daughters and I have a mother who was forced to illegally have an abortion in her state where abortion was illegal when she was a very young woman. It cost $600 cash. It was a traumatising thing for her. It was shameful and sleazy and demeaning. When I heard the story I was aghast by the lowliness of a society that would make a woman do that…
"My mother's illegal abortion marked a time in America that we have worked long and hard to leave behind… My own mother fought to make herself more than a possession; she lived her life as a mother who chose when she would have children, and a wife who could earn a living if she so chose. I want my daughters to enjoy that same choice. I don't want to turn back the hands of time to when women shuttled across state lines in the thick of night to resolve an unwanted pregnancy, in a cheap hotel room just south of the state line. Where a transaction of $600 cash becomes the worth of a young woman's life."
Ruffalo has two daughters and a son with his wife Sunrise Coigney.
