Actor Paul Walker and a friend suffered burn injuries and trauma caused by the impact in a fiery crash on a Southern California street that killed both men, according to details released Wednesday in an autopsy report.

The autopsies were completed Tuesday, but investigators placed a temporary security hold on information regarding the findings.
The cause of death for Walker was determined to be the combined effects of trauma and burn injuries in the fiery crash. The cause of death for Roger Rodas, confirmed to be the driver, was determined to be multiple traumatic injuries.
The injuries resulted from the car striking a "fixed object," according to the autopsy report.
The coroner confirmed that Walker was alive -- but likely unconscious -- after the crash, then died in the subsequent fire. Authorities told NBC4 there was evidence of smoke inhalation.
Video from a business across the street from the crash site released Tuesday shows the light pole and tree as they were impacted by the high-performance Porsche. About a minute passes before smoke can be seen in the video rising above a row of bushes that obscure the view of the car.
Results from toxicology tests are expected in about six to eight weeks.
Walker, the 40-year-old star of the "Fast & Furious" film franchise, and the 38-year-old Rodas, a financial planner and race car driver who founded a charity with Walker, were killed Saturday in the crash and fire on a Santa Clarita street about 30 miles north of downtown Los Angeles. Walker and Rodas took what they said would be a brief drive away from a charity fundraiser and toy drive at Rodas' custom car shop.
Rodas is believed to have been the driver of the Porsche Carrera GT supercar, which crashed into a light pole and tree in the 28300 block of Rye Canyon Loop (map). Their bodies were found inside the charred wreckage after firefighters doused the fire.

The crash remains under investigation, but the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has said investigators do not believe Rodas and Walker were racing another driver. Investigators have indicated that speed was a factor in the crash, which occurred in a 45-mph zone.
Since the crash, mourners and fans of Walker's movies have gathered at the site. Candles, notes, pictures, flowers and other items were left at the memorial.
In a statement, Universal Pictures said production on the upcoming "Fast & Furious 7" film will be shut down "for a period of time."
"We are committed to keeping Fast & Furious fans informed, and we will provide further information to them when we have it," the statement continued. "Until then, we know they join us in mourning the passing of our dear friend Paul Walker."

The FreeSWITCH telephony engine is a powerful system enabling voice, video, presence, chat, and other media types via a variety of protocols.
The 'release' version of FreeSWITCH is available in the AUR as 'freeswitch'. The preferred version to run, however, is the git head from git.freeswitch.org. You can install FreeSWITCH from git head using the AUR package 'freeswitch-git' The following instructions assume you are using the freeswitch-git package.
Using Packer
# packer -S freeswitch-git
# cd /tmp; wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fr/freeswitch-git/freeswitch-git.tar.gz
# tar zxvf freeswitch-git.tar.gz && cd freeswitch-git && makepkg -si
Whichever install method you choose, you may wish to configure FreeSWITCH build options. Open the PKGBUILD with your favorite editor when prompted by your AUR helper¸ or before 'makepkg -si' if installing manually. Edit any BUILD CONFIGURATION options to suit your desired usage.
Note to FreeSWITCH users: Editing the PKGBUILD will configure both modules.conf and autoload_configs/modules.conf.xml according to the modules listed in ENABLED_MODULES and DISABLED_MODULES.
The FreeSWITCH configuration files with the custom modules.conf and modules.conf.xml reside in /etc/freeswitch. For following FreeSWITCH documentation, the base directory is /var/lib/freeswitch (generallly seen as /usr/local/freeswitch in FreeSWITCH documentation).
FreeSWITCH comes out of the box with a default password for registrations to users 1000-1019 as '1234'. You are advised to change this before running it. This variable is set in /etc/freeswitch/vars.xml. The overall default configuration given is a kitchen sink featured PBX, likely many more things than are typically used. Customizing the PBX (or non-PBX) features of FreeSWITCH is beyond the scope of this document; see the FreeSWITCH Wiki for in-depth documentation.
Startup options are configured in /etc/conf.d/freeswitch.conf. You may wish to add -nonat if you are not behind nat, see freeswitch --help for a full list of command line options.
FreeSWITCH can be started with
/etc/rc.d/freeswitch start
To start FreeSWITCH upon each boot, add "freeswitch" to DAEMONS in /etc/rc.conf if using the default archlinux default init system. If using Systemd or Runit, add to your running services via their provided methods.
- Fire up a SIP Client
- Register to your FreeSWITCH box as user 1000, password what you set as default_password in vars.xml
- Dial 9196 (You should connect to an Echo Test)
To see interesting things you can do with a dialplan, open up /etc/freeswitch/dialplan/default.xml and scroll through those examples. Dialing the numbers that match the 'expression' of a condition from your SIP client will demonstrate their use.
You can dial into the FreeSWITCH public voice conference, for instance, by dialing 9888 (8k codec), 91616 (16k codec), or 93232 (32k codec)
FreeSWITCH support is available in #freeswitch on Freenode

There are clunky formulas for adjusted numbers, but they don't anyone any justice really. When you're dealing with star players like we are, you can rely on a host of things besides points per game to make an argument which is good. How they fare in MVP races, Post-Season All-Star teams, etc. to help shape an even more complete picture. Everyone gets points, it's not all that accurate of a measurement when you have 100+ years of hockey to look through...

After rumours suggested that Twitter's mobile apps were due for an update, the goods arrived today, bringing a handful of substantial updates, including expanded tweets (viewing links, videos, and images inline), the ability to set notifications for individual people you follow, search autocomplete, and new discovery tools for events.
The expanded tweets section is the biggest news of the update, as Twitter also added support for links from the likes of Kickstarter, Vimeo, Etsy, and more. Many of these features have already been available on the web version of Twitter, but bringing them to Mobile is an important first step to unifying the feature set of Twitter apps on every platform.

CHICAGO - Toronto Raptors centre Jonas Valanciunas was spending the night in a Chicago hospital after suffering a neck injury in a collision with teammate Rudy Gay in the closing seconds of Tuesday night's 101-98 victory over the Bulls.
Chicago's Nate Robinson hit the first free throw to make it a three-point game with 10.6 seconds left and missed the second. That led to a jump ball, and a scramble for the loose ball ensued.
From the floor, the Bulls' Carlos Boozer threw it to Robinson. The ball went through the guard's hands and started to go into the back court. Robinson saved it to avoid the violation then missed a heave at the buzzer, but after the tip on the jump ball, Valanciunas' head hit Gay's shoulder.
Valanciunas fell backward and immediately grabbed the back of his neck. He was tended to for several minutes on the sideline and had his neck placed in a brace before being taken away on a gurney.
The Raptors said test results were pending late Tuesday and he would remain overnight at Chicago's Rush University Medical Center for observation.

THERE'S a war raging unabated in the region, and indeed on the global stage, a war that's just as much a result of the flipside of proliferating communications technology as it is the seemingly mindless looting and plunder of intellectual property of any kind, of music in particular.
It's the war against music piracy. It's a war against theft. And it's a war the good guys are just not winning, even if the law is on their side.
And the bad guys? Well, it could be anybody, really. He could be a colourful character with a colour printer and a PC, a yuppie with an attitude and a USB or, perhaps, a college student with nothing to kill but time. Or they could be Bluetoothsavvy kids wielding smart phones, colourfully-packaged little gadgets their parents gave them at Christmas. Basically, it appears, if you've got the gadgetry, the music of the world is fair game - it's yours for the taking.
Piracy has so ravaged the regional market, one estimate puts the purchase of legal music at just one per cent. According to James Moore, who manages Solomon Islands singer Jahboy, 99 per cent of music in the region is pirated.
"There are many torrent sites which people download from and forums on Facebook and What'sApp. This is the same for the Solomons. If someone really wants a song, they will find a way to download it," Moore says.
He adds the biggest form of piracy in the Solomons would be through Bluetoothing on mobile phones and sharing music from a computer via a memory card which is then put back into mobiles. Moore says the enforcement agency in the Solomons cannot do much with the limited resources given by the government. "The onus is on the artists themselves to protect their own music. It is a huge challenge here and everywhere else in the world.

Full Steam Ahead: How Digital Will Kill the Disc

He's living there due to necessity.
Not to mention Hong Kong is the 2nd most expensive place to live in the world.
At that point you use the space you have as effectively as you can.
Perhaps, but I thought piracy meant making a copy for free? I'd be happy to buy a game instead if it could assure me I'm not downloading a virus or getting the exact wrong game. You know, like buying straight from developers.
As for the restrictions, I was referring largely to the fact that someone had to be on your friends list for thirty days, which I think is bollocks. It's not a huge hurdle, but it just seems pointless and finicky. And I don't like that we can only give - as in, remove our copy and give it to someone else - to people in our digital family. What if there's someone else I want to give the game to?
I've pretty much gone all-in for Steam, but with music I still mostly buy CDs, and then I rip them in Flac (a lossless format).
It started because I kept my CDs in a CD wallet; one time when I was moving into my college dorm, my CD wallet got stolen. All but 2-3 of my CDs were in there, so I lost nearly my entire collection. At the time I ripped my CDs as 160kbps MP3s using the program that came with my computer, which only had a 30GB hard drive. A few months later, I bought a new set of speakers, and could suddenly hear that my MP3s weren't encoded very well. :(
Now I buy CDs, rip them as Flacs for listening at home, and encode them for use in my MP3 player. I only ever buy music digitally if that's the only option, and only if it's available in Flac (or another lossless format). I'm super paranoid about my music collection getting lost a second time.
Regarding sales: actually just recently I've treated myself to a physical BioShock Infinite from Amazon - at 50% off, just as much as Steam, and although I bought it around the evening it was delivered the very next morning - a day earlier than estimated. For someone with meh internet like myself it was about as quick as me having to download it all via Steam, plus just as cheap as during the Summer Sale, plus of course I get to put the box on my shelf where it can just look neat.
Don't really have so much money quantity becomes a problem, so can't drop a thought on that.
For me, opening the box and skimming through the manual is just part of the experience of getting excited for a new game you're about to play. Like smelling the fresh paper and ink of a new book. But I guess that's more like a personal preference.
The install/uninstall thing is largely mitigated by internet limitations.
All my Amazon games are re-downloadable. Save files are still at issue, I guess.
Bandwidth caps are another issue. When you're only allowed a couple hundred GB a month, a 50+ GB game is a notable chunk and it's just one. I don't know how much people generally uninstall and reinstall games, but that could be kind of a big deal. Especially since the main reason they instate bandwidth caps is to prevent having to actually spend money on expanding infrastructure. In the future, I imagine Google fiber will spread and generate competition, but that's a while off unless you're in MO or (probably soon) one of the largest cities. In the meanwhile, I doubt they're shaking in their boots.
You can find comparable prices quite often by looking around the other digital game fronts. Of course, you may give up Steam benefits from that.
Or, you know, we could price things accordingly. That would be MADNESS, I suppose.
Trust me, its far more likely that you will mess up and lose the disk/key codes than that a massive corporation would suffer total systems loss. Most of the data would be really well backed up, and losing your clients libraries would be a PR disaster, so you can bet they are trying to keep everything safe. Meanwhile if your house burns down, there go your physical copies.
As long as it's DRM free, and I mean COMPLETELY free of it, then I'm ok with digital.
Which means that CD's and DVD's still aren't going anywhere because I can (and do) still put the downloads on them for safekeeping.
Although I would generally agree that total system losses are very unlikely, I still don't see them as the biggest threat either. What if my account gets banned on cheating accusations, or because I changed my IP to get content not available in my region, or some other arbitrary reason? I really don't expect anyone to refund me for a digital library if that happened, no matter how much money I spent on it.
Unless digital games are entirely DRM free there will essentially always be risks that I, as a user, cannot really control.
And yes, I know that my place could burn down, or get robbed (although I doubt anyone would steal a truckload of video games), but either way I would at least get insurance money, even if not that much.
This would be a truly great solution if more developers/publishers would go with it. Especially if the hard copy is DRM free.
This is the big one I feel. With next gen fully transitioning to blu-ray discs and higher quality assets games are only going to get bigger. I run on a 2mb connection and I find it terribly slow, but for tons of people in the UK and the US that's light speed. Broadband is getting faster and faster, but the issue isn't speed. The issue is the number of consumers who are still on incredibly low speed broadband. Ironically, it's those out in rural areas who suffer most, when they would likely use digital downloads and streaming far more often. People in cities can walk to see a film or buy a game - those in rural areas can't. There needs to be a greater, more dedicated rollout of highspeed internet before digital distribution is fully viable.
$300 dollars a month for a bed in Manhatten?
That's pennies mate. Good luck finding that in London. I know people paying £1000 a month for a room. And I've seen flats in the nicer bits get rented for the equivalent of... Wait for it.
$1800 a week. And I'm not talking Mayfair, those cost millions. I mean suburbs. Yeah.
Also, silly article is silly, digital will become more acceptable I can concede that, but discs are never going to die. I just can't see a day coming where gaming is a completely digital thing.
Maybe that notion is born from my own hopes/fears though. Can someone remind me the name of that game the Escapist ran the story on a while back, some EA game I think it was, couple of years old, EA won't fix their crippled servers, so now the game literally cannot work?
Yeah. Imagine that but for an entire generation of gaming.
I can't speak to consoles, but on PC the transition to full digital is already well on its way. You can buy stuff on disk still sure, but chances are you're going to need a UPlay, Steam, Origin, Battlenet, ect. account to be able to use the game. If those services stop there is a chance that game will stop working as well.
Having a physical copy doesn't protect you from any of that, it just makes the download go faster since you only need to grab the patches not on the disk.
They tried to mandate this on the new xb, but it got slapped down as you probably remember. It is entirely feasible, though, that individual game developers will place requirements on their games for internet access, or an xbl account or what have you to play their game, making it effectively the same as the current climate on PC.
Well I can't speak for PC either, and to be honest, in the exact same way that everyone went mental over 'draconian' console controls, I think PC is the same. Honestly, if I get a competent-enough PC at some point I intend to borrow every game I'll ever play from my friends at irate pay rather than borrow them from massive companies that take the piss. I don't like DRM, it really is that simple, and I don't care if it's the done thing on PC tbh. If it works for you guys, more power to you, but I'm old fashioned like that. I won't spend real money to buy not-stuff.
"and say: "Halo 5? It plays better on disc." "
Sadly, things never play better on disc, because CD-,DVD- and Bluray readers are just so much slower than HDD's.
I find it quite ironic thats americans, who statistically have the largest living spaces in the world, double the space for average person than europeans, and up to 5 times for eastern countries, are complaining about storage space.
But thats not preowned markets fault. that is fault solely of game developers, that they make games that people buy, play once (for 5 hours) and want to sell it. If they made games people wanted to keep, preowner marked wouldh ave no supply to begin with. There is very little Nintendo games in preowned market, because thats games people want to keep (i personally dont like them, but thats a good example nonetheless). It is dominated by couple hour linear campaign games, and for good reason.
During the whole Xbone DRM discussion a lot of statistics were dug up. The msot recent and reloable one said that only recently america has reached 60% broadband coverage. Though one has to remember, americas internet is in extremely poor state compared to the rest of the world, and while it is a largest gaming market, it is not the only one.
Another thing to consider, that comparing internet acessible households to consoles sold, there are over 40.000 times more houses with internet than hosuees with consoles, even if we ignore posibility of same household buying two Xboxes (due to RRods) and so on. it is very likely that most people that do not have internet, are not interested in gaming consoles to begin with.
I agree with your post fully, but i woudl like to say that SDD is still a LONG way for replacing HDDs. it is unrealiable, msot real life reports state that their lifetime is around 1 year, which is simply unacceptable. But that is design flaw, and needs a major overhaul of the system and not minor tweaking. Secontly it is still ridiculously expensive per gygabyte of storage space comapred to HDDS. i woudl rather see a server designed 12000 RPM HDDs being placed there (and home computers, i wish i had one) than HDDs as they are now.
So SDD wont happen soon. not even the generation after the PS4s probably. unless they be even more retarded now and wait even more than 7 years.
In america they are not, granted. That is because americas internet provuiders is a monopolistic leeches that havent done squat in 20 years. you get the worst internet in first world, while paying the most for it. Though i guess this is partly due to american way of thinking that "any govenment interference = communism = evil". i just hope google fiber woul hurry up, though they cant, they acutally got sued by the monopolies because "They would bring competition we cannot compete with". well whos fault is that?
Digital's not killing anything any time soon. The VIEW that Boarders didn't go Digital fast enough, and was going to die in the future killed Boarders. I'm not saying digital killed Boarders. They just panicked at the thought. Now Barns and Nobel is suffering because it DID go digital, and was seen as winning because of it. However, now it's desperate to get ride of the money sink it created with eBooks.
All Digital is a fad that can kill you as a company. I was hoping MS would continue down the train wreck they painted so they could be made an example of, but we'll have to see who gets in line to jump off the cliff next.
That's probably why Number 1 includes the sentence: "This problem is currently being sidestepped by Steam by having persisting library that may be installed and uninstalled as desired."
But perhaps you're just agreeing wiht me there. Unless you're talking about internet caps in other countries or ridiculously low speeds in the US. Then it's questionable. We're just talking about overall space so deleting a local game that you haven't played in years isn't bad because of the whole digital library thing. It just used to be that unless you had the disk, anything you lost on an HDD was gone, gone, gone.
Ah, did not know that. Thanks. I've never had to but I didn't think they kept track of my digital downloads. How do they know I'm not downloading it on a hundred other systems? What I meant is any service that just gives you a file to download rather than a library to pull on at any time.
Yeah, in my opinion this is the only real issue in the way of an all digital future. The other items can be an inconvenience, but this one is the real one.
It depends on the game. You can usually find the game cheaper early on in a store front than online. But not by enough for me to care about that. But it's more around the mid-range pricing of the product that I'm talking about. When you can find the game for $20 or less preowned in stores but all digital copies still stick around at the top mid-range price (you know, because there's no preowned here).
haha, Excellent post.
In order:
-I hate disc key codes with a passion, as they rendered my copy of Tachyon: The Fringe useless
But I am really old fashioned when it comes to electronics so..eh.
Sure it will in the next 10ish + years. There are just to many people offline to ignore.
Personally, I'm not persuaded by the floor space argument. I live in a major city in a 700 square foot apartment (that I pay $766 a month for), which is not exactly huge, but big enough that I have a massive game collection worth about $15,000 (as recent as the Wii U and going all the way back to a Magnavox Odyssey and pretty much everything in between) that takes up about four bookshelves and leaves plenty of room left over for a huge collection of books and movies. It would be much more difficult to have this collection if I were in a more expensive city but such places are the exception and not the rule. It's true that either through emulators or legitimate downloads, I could digitize nearly my entire collection, but it's just not the same and there are a couple of reasons why:
First, call me a hipster, but nothing beats the experience of playing the original game on the original system. I have a lot of classic NES, SNES and N64 games on my Wii but after I started building my classic collection I went out and bought original copies of all the games I downloaded because the original experience is just so much better. Playing Super Mario World on a Gamecube controller is pretty much impossible (the classic controller works much better) but there is nothing like playing it on a SNES with an original controller. And while I'm sure pretty much everyone here has played Pong before, trust me when I say that you have not played Pong until you've played it on a 40 year old Odyssey with a plastic lanyard taped to a vacuum tube TV to give it some graphical flair.
Second (and this is the big one), my physical games are a commodity. I'm doing pretty well financially right now but I have known tough times in the past and don't have so much confidence in the future that I believe I'm immune from knowing tough times again. If I ever find myself in desperate circumstances I could live for several months just by selling off my videogame collection. It would be an incredibly painful thing to have to do, but if I had to I could do it. If my entire collection were digitized though, I would have nothing to fall back on, except maybe the hard drives I had my collection on (which I could probably sell for a couple hundred dollars). Furthermore, collectible games have, overall, increased in value by 50% in the last 5 years and, based on similar collectible markets, I see no reason for that to change. And don't bother trying to tell me that digital downloads of classic games will destroy the collector's value of the original versions because it's not true. I could cite about a hundred examples but just to give one compelling one: when Wild Guns for the SNES became downloadable on the Wii Shop channel for $8 a cartridge copy sold for about $90. Now cartridge copies sell for about $220 despite the fact that you can still download it for $8 on the Wii. It makes perfect sense if you actually stop to think about it for a minute: does the fact that reprints and downloadable copies of Action Comics #1 are readily available change the fact that an original copy still sells for over a million dollars? There's nothing special about owning a reprint or a download, but to have an original is a hell of a thing. The most valuable game I own is a copy of Peek-a-Boo Poker for the NES. It currently sells for about $900 (five years ago it sold for about $400) and by sheer dumb luck I managed to get my copy for the bargain-bin price of $435. I know a lot of people who would laugh at me and call me an idiot for spending that much money on a game I could easily go and download on one of the dozens of NES emulators on the internet for free, but given the rate games of that rarity are appreciating, I expect a day will come that I will be able to sell my copy for thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars (comic book collectors familiar with the Mile High Collection know what I'm talking about) while the emulated copy will always be worth just as much as what you originally paid for it: nothing.
An interesting read, but you appear to be unaware that the majority of the world's internet infrastructure is not capable of handling a purely digital distribution system. Digital may be the future, but that future is decades away.
I love digital. However, like stated by others, I wish I owned what I purchased.
By your reasoning. Robert, everyone who plays games in Hong Kong would be using Steam.
I live there. They aren't. Lots of people still play consoles. Hell many people stills goes to play games in Arcades which takes up ridiculous amounts of space. There's definitely much more of an arcade culture than say, many parts of the UK (which I've also lived in) and it's still deemed as a popular thing to do for teenagers. By you floor space argument, nobody would be playing arcades and everyone should be either on Steam or playing exclusively on their phones.
Honestly, anyone who can afford to fit a PC/consoles and a TV in their home can fit a few plastic boxes next to it. Unless our living spaces shrink down to the size of a Japanese capsule hotel "room" (which I don't see happening in 20 years, not even HK...not quite anyway) the space problem is really a none-issue.
You also seem to forget that many gamers don't actually own that many games. Especially console gamers. People with Wiis with only Wii Sport or people who only play Fifa/Cod probably makes up the majority of the market. Hardcore gamers with 100+ game libraries are relatively rare, especially if you live somewhere with trade-ins being available.
Your point that kids nowadays growing up being used to the notion of downloading games makes much more sense than the rest of your article. Neither of my parents are comfortable with the notion of buying things online yet whilst I hunt for deals regularly and neither of them have ever bought music online.
Digital will be the future. Space may be part of the reason, but it will not be THE reason. Not by a long shot.
I haven't bought a game disc since I bought Half-Life 2 at Target all those years ago..
STEAM sales show a game's true value
I'm just being nitpicky here and I imagine you probably know this too, but if we're ever "one anything" away from a gamma ray burst, wee very very likely won't need to worry about losing all our electronic data. : p
Cry me a river - I've checked right now, and in the City of London the cheapest room costs £195 per week ($298). Just under four times that price. Kitchen and bathroom are communal.
Space has always been an issue in the UK - we suffer the smallest homes in the western world. Perhaps it's your expectations that need to drop? Not every country has American oversized poorly built houses littered across the landscapes.
The population density of Hong Kong is 16,576/sq mi
You can hardly compare these figures. On average, new world-ers have a ton of space at their disposal. Yet, all us old world-ers have always managed juuuuust fine with our media. If you judge your flat by the amount of empty space in it, that's fine, but it's not why "Steam will kill the disk".
My issue has been, and always will be, that when you buy something, you should receive something. Otherwise you are renting it. On a server, it is the server that has your purchase, not you. It's the same as "adopting an animal in the zoo" or "buying land on the moon". You've not bought anything, and that feeling doesn't sit right with many people. When you buy a game on Steam can you back a full playable copy up on an external hard drive? If no, then tell me what the fuck you've bought.
I have to agree with the space argument here. I live at my parents in an 8 foot square room. Space is precious to me, so much so that when buying something new I have to consider the possibility of getting rid of something old.
Buying digital games means I don't need more space and I don't have to sell old ones to make room. Win win.

If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

Fishless Cycle Cycling with Fish Marine Aquarium Info [URL="http://saltwater.aquaticcommunity.com/"]
You should get one Cliff, they are the St. Bernards of the fish world.
I have read that if people would de-worm their fish, that the HITH problem would be eradicated and a thing of the past. Do you agree with any part of that statement?
I don't have these big fish but just the thought of them having internal worms, perhaps for years, "bugs" (pun) me so much that mine all get treated regardless. Not sure why people wait until worms are falling out of them and the fish is on it's last leg.
What did you use on this Oscar to bring him back from where he was? He looked so bad in the first photo and even had white areas on his belly. Not sure it is was more pits forming or fungus be he sure was a sick puppy.
Cycling With Fish? The Fishless Cycle
Goldfish Growth Expectancy
Actually the white is coloration...these things go through multiple color-phases. She came in with some white marble coloration this led to a solid black phase then that lightened to give way to the bee pattern.
This fish came from Jeff Rapps, he de-worms the fish upon arrival and has a very sophisticated QT system. When I received the fish I only used a little Prazi-Pro laced in their first feeding, I was out of meds and really did not thing it was an issue given their source. I QT'd the fish for a while to let them recover from shipping and put them in the 150G. Well all hell broke loose and this fish claimed the whole tank for her territory and killed the other. I put them in one night and came home from work the next evening and one was dead and this one was mauled. None of the other fish were bothered so I can only venture to say this is what happened since this fish was not being pestered by the other fish at the time. I suspect the stress associated with the brawl was what put the Hexamita into motion in my case.
I think many people confuse Hexamita/HITH/HLLE. Pretty much any pitting of the head and a thin appearance is dubbed HITH. True Hexamita is a parasite which robs the fish of nutritional value, the symptoms are also much more severe. With Hexamita infestation you will see white slimy fecal matter, buoyancy issues, lethargic behavior, total loss of appetite, thickening slime coat to the point the fish has a grey cast...as well as the common weight loss and pits on the head. Typical "HITH" is more of a symptom of poor water conditions and nutritional deficiency. Oscars like a lot of cichlids require higher levels of vitamin C which is a factor to what is generally known as "HITH". Improving all factors does help....but with any case of pitting and weight loss I would treat for Hexamita just to be cautious.
For treatment on this fish I tossed everything I could at her...I initially used General Cure...because it was all I had available. It did not do much, once I was able to get my shipment of appropriate meds in the mail I used a combo of Prazi Pro and Metro+. This did a little but still noting remarkable. I did daily WCs and kept the water well aerated...the fish did not do a turn around until I kind of gave up and went into a cure or kill mindset. The fish would not feed so I decided to force feed her Metro+. I got some aquarium water and mixed with some Metro+ in a syringe(minus the needle of course). I removed the fish to a shallow bowl and pried her mouth open to inject the Metro+solution. I did this once a day for 3 days. The next day following the treatment I did another WC and offered some bloodworms soaked in garlic...she ate all I gave her. I completed the treatment by soaking food in Metro+ for another week and gave her another round of Prazi Pro before moving her back to the 150G. I also treated the 150G for precaution...no fish has been affected since. I am convinced the fish would not be alive if it weren't for force feeding her Metro+, it was a last ditch effort that thankfully worked.
I do fully advocate strict QT practices even if your fish come from an amazing source, but be aware even pre-treating fish and deworming them is not always 100% affective and with cichlids (especially wild cichlids) you may have something go wrong if the fish is subjected to periods of stress.

What a wonderful explanation of all it took to keep this fish alive. Thanks for explaining all that. Not many would go through all that and I wouldn't have even known how. I can understand the kill or cure thing. The Oscar must have decided he'd better get better and do it fast or you'd kill him if he didn't. LOL Scared him into recovering.
Great job and you did it very well.
what a beautiful oscar! this makes me want one haha:p and for me, thats dangerous.
Coastie-to-be... hopefully.
I honestly probably wouldn't have done all that if it were a $5 LFS Oscar...kind of goes back to my theory that if people paid more for their fish they would take much better care of them. I was fortunate enough to randomly come across an article online with someone who had used the same drastic last ditch effort on a Green Terror...fish also saw a drastic turn around following treatment.
Thanks for the comments everyone, very much appreciated!
I think everyone should own an O at some point in their stent in the hobby.

Once upon a time, there was a sexy, pouty model named Douglas Booth. One day, this charming young man decided to become an actor, and now he's going to be playing Romeo in the new 'Romeo and Juliet' movie. And we lived swoon-ily ever after!
British model and actor Booth's father is English and his mother is of Dutch and Spanish descent, which might explain his beautiful and sort of exotic looks. Dude's all sexy angles — it's like looking at a really hot geometry problem.
Booth has done campaigns for Burberry, alongside fellow lovelies like Emma Watson. He also starred in a few BBC productions, including the 2011 mini-series adaptation of Charles Dickens' 'Great Expectations,' before debuting stateside in the 2012 indie flick 'LOL' with Miley Cyrus.
Not a great introduction, but apparently it was enough to attract attention from all the right people, because now he's starring in the new movie version of William Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet' — as Romeo, obviously. And he kind of reminds you of a young Leonardo DiCaprio in a way, yeah? The hair, the pout, and cheekbones, for sure.
He'll also star in 'Black Swan' director Darren Aronofsky's latest film, 'Noah,' and in 'Jupiter Ascending,' from the team that brought you 'The Matrix' and 'Cloud Atlas.' Some pretty impressive jobs, for sure.

NEW HAVEN -- A proposed collaboration between Yale University and the Department of Defense to teach interviewing methods to Green Berets with local immigrants as volunteers is meeting with fierce criticism, but the university said no such plans have been finalized.
Dr. Charles A. Morgan, the Yale School of Medicine psychiatrist at the heart of the controversy, called rumors about teaching new interrogation techniques "hype and fantasy," but admitted he is interested in leading a Center of Excellence for Operational Neuroscience at Yale, funded by the military.
"I suggested to the Army that perhaps some training in people skills -- how to talk to and listen to people might be helpful and create better relations," Morgan said in an email to the Register. "I thought that if we tried teaching better communication skills like the ones we teach to medical students and psychiatrists it might do something positive."
Published reports in the last week implied that groups of soldiers might begin receiving training in New Haven as early as April.
Yale released a statement saying that is not the case.
"No formal proposal has been submitted yet to the University, and such a center would only be established and funded after rigorous academic and ethical review, and only if its goals are consistent with the University's educational and research missions, and its research is determined to be conducted to the appropriate stringent standards," the statement said.
Yet outcry already has begun.
A student petition against a joint Yale-Department of Defense training center already has 500 signatures and a student speak-out is planned for 4 p.m. Friday on campus.
"Those of us working on this are not calling this an interrogation center," said Chris Hebdon, a doctoral student in anthropology at Yale.
Hebdon said he and other students want to start an open discussion about the role of the military at Yale. He also questioned the idea of recruiting participants from local immigrant communities to help in research.
"This definitely is not what most, or any, anthropologists would call appropriate cross-cultural research," Hebdon said.
Michael Siegel, a 1990 Yale School of Medicine graduate who now is a professor of community health sciences at Boston University's school of public health, has written to medical school Dean Robert J. Alpern to express his concerns. He also said he would no longer donate to the Yale if the center were established.
"This center is not for the purpose of treating patients for disease. This is a military training program," Siegel said. "This has no place at the School of Medicine. It's a perversion of what medical research is supposed to be used for."
Ken McGraw, deputy public affairs officer for the U.S. Special Operations Command, said Thursday the military is providing Yale a $1.8 million grant to "monitor developments in neuroscience," give periodic updates on those developments and create a course "that will improve U.S. Special Operations Forces abilities to communicate with members of other cultures by taking into account cultural sensitivities."
McGraw stressed that the course "has absolutely nothing to do with interrogations or how to conduct interrogations."
Morgan, an associate professor of psychiatry, has devised a technique for interviewing people that he would teach to small groups of Green Berets on campus. A report in the Yale Herald said other instructors would be brought in, as well, including much-publicized pickpocket Apollo Robbins.
The Yale Herald story also said Morgan planned to stress a cross-cultural component in teaching soldiers how to interview people, using about 50 interview subjects drawn from local immigrant communities.
Morgan has conducted research focusing on immigrant subjects in the past.
In 2010, he and other Yale researchers co-wrote a study of whether there were fluctuations in the heart rate of "40 male, native Arabic-speaking participants" when they told a lie. The study, published in the journal Psychophysiology, was funded by the Department of Defense.
For Siegel, such research is "very troubling."
"It exploits Muslim immigrants by using them as guinea pigs," Siegel said. "In my opinion, there's no way this research can be done ethically, because this is the job of the military."
Yale, in its official statement, said any volunteer subjects "would be selected from diverse ethnic groups who would be protected by oversight from Yale's Human Research Protection Program. Research would be conducted in a manner consistent with all other research at Yale and with the expectation that findings would be reported in peer-reviewed scientific journals."

NORWICH — At 5:30 p.m., Friday Connecticut's "Christmas City" formally kicked off its holiday season with a tradition that also serves to showcase Norwich's downtown.
"This is one of the most festive nights of the year in the city, and it's all possible because all of you are here," Mayor Peter Nystrom told a cheering crowd of about 150 just before 6-year-old Aaron Lee pulled a switch to light up City Hall.
Santa Claus arrived on a Norwich Fire Department truck minutes before the countdown to light up City Hall and illuminate 6,500 bulbs that will brighten the exterior of the historic Georgian-style building through the holiday season. Sandawas mobbed by children who yelled out their Christmas wish lists as he made his way to the stage.
For event goers like Charlene Jenzach of Taftville and her family, the Light Up City Hall festivities are a welcomed addition to the Christmas season, helping to add a needed sense of community into central Norwich.
"We'll be going to the parade tomorrow, too. It's all about downtown for the next two days," said Jenzach, who arrived at 4 p.m. with her two small children and afamily friend to camp out on a bench that offered prime viewing.
Jenzach's son, Michael, 10, was prepared to give Santa his Christmas request: A dartboard.
This afternoon, thousands of people are expected to line the sidewalks from Chelsea Parade to Franklin Square for the city's Winter Fest Parade, which organizers split away from the City Hall event after two years of combining them.
Jenzach, who got out of work at 10 a.m. Friday to plan for the afternoon, said it was easier for her when both events were on the same day.
"It's better on a Saturday, because otherwise it makes it a huge rush to get out of work," she said. "But we go every year."
So, too, does city resident Todd Raymond. He stood just in front of the brightly lit stage on Friday and was happy to see the crowds around him.
"Norwich should do more family stuff like this. It's great," he said. "And the parade is awesome. It's one of the biggest around."
In addition to a free magic show and performance by ventriloquists Donald and Lydia Beebe, revelers were treated to sing-along Christmas carols and free hot chocolate doled out by volunteers from the First Central Baptist Church.
It was one of the most popular stops, and volunteer Stacey Sedotti, of Norwich, said she likes the vibe Light Up City Hall brings to downtown.
"I like it every year. It brings positivity downtown," she said.

Apple, Microsoft and Adobe have all been summonsed to appear before a parliamentary inquiry into IT pricing, following months of wrangling to get the companies to appear before the committee.
The IT pricing inquiry is currently looking into whether Australians pay for software and hardware.
All three companies have been lambasted by the committee for not fronting up to public hearings, with MP Ed Husic stating the committee would be looking to take a firmer line with the companies following their refusal to appear at a hearing in July last year.
"This is an important move – but one we shouldn't have to take," Husic said in a statement about today's summons.
"These firms should have co-operated and been prepared to be more open and transparent about their pricing approaches."
Nick Champion, committee chair, told parliament in October that while Apple made a confidential submission to the committee, it has refused to appear before it.
Champion said Adobe has offered to appear before the committee, but only on the proviso that other companies also do the same.
Today Adobe said it "will co-operate with the committee as we have done since the inquiry began," an Adobe spokesperson told Computerworld Australia.
Microsoft has also made a submission, but Champion said it was unwilling to front the committee "and [has] proposed alternative contributions instead".
Matthew Rimmer, associate professor at Australian National University, said the 'fair IT' movement was becoming a significant political issue which could no longer be ignored.
"Adobe, Apple and Microsoft can no long hide under a 'cloak of invisibility' on this issue and shun the Australian parliament," he said.
In October last year, Adobe told Computerworld Australia it was considering appearing before the parliamentary hearing following claims by Husic that the committee would consider issuing a subpoena to force the company to appear.
Suzanne Campbell, CEO of the Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA), has told the inquiry that vendors do not set retail prices. Instead, channel partners and content and rights owners are responsible for setting prices, she said.
However, Matt Levey, head of campaigns at Choice, has said there are statements by industry which don't "stack up".
The companies have been summonsed to appear in Canberra 22 March for a public hearing.

Clinton Finds Hurdles on Book Tour
Presumed Easygoing Appearances Instead Result in Critique of a Potential Candidate as Out of Practice
It was supposed to be an easy re-entry into the world of campaign-style politics, a book rollout that put Hillary Clinton in front of adoring crowds and handpicked interviewers from the national media.
Yet Week One of Mrs. Clinton's book tour proved a tougher slog than the once-and-probably-future presidential candidate might have preferred. Mrs. Clinton looked unpolished in some of her appearances, critics said, fueling perceptions that she's out of practice after a six-year sabbatical from the rough-and-tumble of national...

(CNN) -- When Leidy Sanchez and her husband, Carlos Reyes, went to the hospital last week to deliver their baby, a nurse got her a gown, hooked her up to a fetal monitor and asked an unexpected question: Would they like to donate cells from their baby's umbilical cord blood to a public bank?
"We said, 'For real, people are doing this?' " says Sanchez. "We'd never heard of it."
The couple had heard of private banking, where you pay thousands of dollars to store your baby's cord blood cells, but this was different. The stem cells from Christopher's umbilical cord would be stored, free of charge, at a public bank for potentially anyone in need of a stem cell transplant for leukemia, sickle cell anemia or dozens of other diseases.
It didn't take Sanchez and Reyes long to say yes.
"We felt good that we could save a life," Sanchez says.
But what about if, heaven forbid, their baby Christopher were to need those cells later in life? They might still be there for him, but then again they might have been given away to someone else.
"I don't think he'll need them. Hopefully, he'll be healthy," Sanchez says. "But we know there could be someone out there who needs these cells right now."
While private banks advertise heavily to parents, public banks do not, and they hope stories such as Christopher's will encourage other families to donate.
"If people donated to public banks instead of private ones, many, many lives could be saved," says Dr. Andromachi Scaradavou, medical director of the National Cord Blood Program. "The numbers are huge."
But public banks know they face an uphill battle: Parents will always wonder if they should keep those cells for themselves.
Umbilical cord cells often useless to the donor
Transplant specialists, and even private banks themselves, say umbilical cord cells are often of no use to the child who donated them.
For example, if a child develops leukemia, there are usually leukemia cells in the cord blood, making them inappropriate for a transplant, transplant experts say. Or if a child has a genetic disorder, such as sickle cell, that same problematic DNA lies in the cord blood cells, rendering them useless.
"I've treated thousands of patients, and I've never used a child's own cord blood cells to treat leukemia, or sickle cell, or other genetic diseases, or immune deficiencies, or bone marrow failure," says Dr. Joanne Kurtzberg, director of the pediatric blood and marrow transplant program at Duke University Medical Center.
Other transplant specialists agree.
"When a kid comes in with leukemia and the mom says, 'We stored his cord blood cells,' I've never used it," says Dr. Haydar Frangoul, director of the pediatric bone and marrow transplant program at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
"It would be ridiculous to use the child's own cells," he adds. "It would be like taking someone with cystic fibrosis who needs a lung transplant and giving them back their own diseased lung."
Scaradavou, a consultant at the pediatric bone marrow transplant program at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, agrees.
"There are very, very, very few situations where a kid could benefit from his own cord blood," she says. "It would be like winning the lottery."
Kurtzberg says she is using children's own cord blood cells experimentally to see if they can help treat cerebral palsy or brain damage caused by low oxygen at birth.
"We're in the middle of our study, so we don't know yet if it works," she says.
Kathy Engle, a spokeswoman for Cord Blood Registry, a private bank, says it's true that a child's own cells often won't work for himself, but that sometimes they do.
"All transplant physicians make their own determinations on the best route for treatment," she says.
In the future, there could be even more uses for umbilical cord cells, she adds.
"Preserving cells today could be something that has very different uses in the future," Engle wrote in an e-mail. "Of course, we cannot predict that, but unfortunately there is only the one chance to collect the cord blood, so parents' decisions are time bound."
Umbilical cord cells helpful for siblings
A child's umbilical cord cells could be useful for a sibling or other family member who needs a transplant, doctors say.
"When I have a patient whose mother is pregnant, I say they absolutely should go ahead and privately bank those cord blood cells when the baby's born," Frangoul says.
But he adds that often umbilical cord cells aren't enough and doctors have to go in and extract marrow from the child who donated the umbilical cord cells to use in addition.
"Every time I've used cord blood, I've had to go in and get marrow, too," Frangoul says.
He says that's why he chose not to privately bank his own children's umbilical cord cells.
"My wife got all these brochures in the mail, and said, 'Are you sure we don't want to do this?' " he remembers. "But I said, 'Look, it's not going to help the baby, and if we need his cells for a sibling, he'll always be here. He's available. We can always go in and get his marrow."
Private banks advertising too aggressively?
Frangoul, whose sons are 9 and 11, remembers having to do quite a bit of work to persuade his wife not to privately bank their children's umbilical cord cells.
"These companies advertise heavily and really make the moms feel guilty if they don't bank the cells," he says. "I think it's a travesty."
The Frangouls publicly banked their older son's cells, but they didn't for their younger son since the option wasn't available at the hospital where they delivered.
Private cord blood banks defend their marketing to families.
"Our company does not condone the use of guilt or fear-based marketing tactics," says Scott Brown, a spokesman for FamilyCord, a private bank. "FamilyCord advertising is focused on educating families on the current treatments and future potential of stem cells."
If I do public banking, will the cells be there for my family?
If you choose to donate to a public bank, the cells might still be there should you need them.
According to Kurtzberg, director of the Carolinas Cord Blood Bank at Duke University Medical Center, there's a 95 percent chance your child's umbilical cord cells will still be there if you need them, and you get to have them for free.
Here's the catch: Public banks have strict standards and reject about half of all donations because not enough cells were obtained or there are quality problems with the cells, Kurtzberg says. In that case, you can't get your child's cells back because they weren't stored in the first place.
How to publicly bank your child's umbilical cord cells
Here's a list of some 200 hospitals that make it easy to publicly donate your baby's umbilical cord cells. Each hospital has a relationship with one of the more than 40 public banks in the United States.
If you're not delivering at one of these hospitals, the National Marrow Donor Program says you can contact a public bank directly about arranging a donation.
A mother can't donate her baby's cord blood if she has certain infections such as HIV or if she has tattoos. Here's a complete list of eligibility requirements.
CNN's John Bonifield, Sabriya Rice and Jennifer Bixler contributed to this report.

The "Ship To Multiple Addresses" option allows you to place multiple orders with just one trip through the checkout process. This is especially useful when you wish to send gifts to a variety of people at different addresses. Assemble all of your merchandise into your shopping cart before you click "Check Out."
Here's how it works:
1) Click "Ship To Multiple Addresses"
After you Sign In (first-time customers will also need to enter a shipping address and credit card billing information), you'll advance to the Review page. If you want the items in your order delivered to more than one address, click the "Ship To Multiple Addresses" button.
2) Select an address for each item in your cart.
Your shopping cart will be displayed in expanded format, offering an address selection menu next to each item. Choose the desired delivery address for each item, and then click "Continue Checkout." (Note: The address selection menu won't appear for gift certificates and magazine subscriptions because you specify the delivery address for those items before you add them to the cart.)
3) Review the Order Details and select a Shipping Method for each address.
After choosing the delivery addresses, you'll return to an expanded Review page. Here you'll see the items separated into a separate order for each address. You may choose the shipping method and set gift wrap options for each address. To complete the purchase, review the payment options and finally click "Submit This Order."
How can I send the same book to several people?
Set the quantity to the appropriate number before clicking "Ship To Multiple Addresses." For example, if you'd like to send James Patterson's latest novel to four people, set the Quantity in your shopping cart to 4. When you click "Ship To Multiple Addresses," the book will appear in your cart four separate times. You'll be able to choose the shipping address for each book. If you want one person to receive two copies, choose that person's address twice.
If my order is sent to several addresses, what is the charge for shipping?
When you divide your order into multiple shipping addresses, the per order shipping amount will apply to each address.
How do I enter more shipping addresses?
If you've already established an account on Booksamillion.com, sign into "My Account" and enter more addresses to your address book prior to placing items in your shopping cart. If you've already started shopping, you may enter new addresses at several points during the checkout process. Just look for the "Enter A New Address" button.
I'm purchasing many items as business gifts. How many items will my shopping cart hold?
You may use the multiple shipping address option with up to 100 items in your shopping cart. However, if your order gets too large, your web browser will likely have problems processing the shopping cart's large amounts of data. If you need a greater quantity, simply place another order. You may also consider using the services of our Business Services Department. View the Business Services information page for more information on our bulk ordering services.
I'm sending items as a gift. Will the recipient see the price I paid?
Click "Choose My Gift Options" and designate that your order is a gift. Gift orders receive an alternate packing slip that does not display prices. You may also enter a brief gift message that will appear on the packing slip. We now offer Video Gift Messages, record yours today!

The Federal Reserve's pledge on Wednesday to continue its easing bias may have broadly met expectations, but its historic move to set numerical targets took many by surprise.
U.S. stocks wiped out gains in choppy trading after the U.S. central bank made the unprecedented announcement of keeping interest rates suppressed until unemployment falls below 6.5 percent and inflation tops 2.5 percent. In addition, the Fed said it would continue monthly purchases of $85 billion in Treasury securities and mortgage-backed securities until job market conditions improved.

Fed Sets Target for Rates
On the outset, the Fed's unorthodox move appears to be its latest salvo to battle the economy's erratic and sub-par recovery. But some market watchers say: don't read too much into it.
According to Greg Gibbs, senior FX strategist at RBS, the numerical targets aren't all that aggressive as the central bank had already alluded to them since last year.
"These threshold figures are consistent with the economic forecasts and rate guidance that have been in the Fed's quarterly economic projections since last year," Gibbs said.
(Read more: El-Erian: Why Markets Shrugged Fed's Historic Move)
In fact, Gibbs argues that the thresholds are "a bit less" dovish than expected, noting that the Fed's longer term "central tendency" for unemployment has been 5.2-6 percent, so 6.5 percent is above the upper end of this range.
"Some Fed governors have expressed a preparedness to see short term inflation as high as 3 percent to more closely meet the full employment target," he said.
Andrew Wilkinson, chief economic strategist at Miller Tabak, added, "while few expected the Fed to move this quickly on adopting official targets for inflation and unemployment, the premise had been floated earlier this year and so while the timing is surprising, the advance in tying these variables to the mast is not."
However, some market watchers including Rob Aspin, head of equity investment strategy, Standard Chartered Bank, who calls the Fed's shift in policy a "historic move", believe it will have a significant implication for markets.
"In the last 17 years, I've never heard of a major bank focusing primarily on employment targets. The 6.5 percent target - that is quite a way off. Investors will be focusing on employment data as it comes out, so there could be an increase in volatility around those periods," he said.
Bond Market Volatility
Michael Yoshikami said the Fed's targeting should not be taken lightly, particularly for fixed-income investors.
Bond investors are very uneasy right now, Yoshikami said, because Chairman Bernanke has outlined a scenario where quantitative easing will end if certain data statistics are hit. "I think that is a sobering prospective for people that are piling into fixed income," he told CNBC.
"You saw what happened on the bond market after this announcement came out today, it actually sold off. So what that means is, before unemployment rate gets to 6.5 percent, when it gets to 7.3, or 7.2 or 6.99, the bond market is going to sell off then as well," he added
(Read more: Why the Rush to Fixed Income May Be Dangerous)
Treasury prices, which move in the opposite direction to yields, fell following the Fed's policy announcement, with thirty-year bonds dropping 1-06/32 in price to yield 2.901 percent, up from 2.84 percent late on Tuesday.
As a result, he said, that 2013 should be a year of repositioning for investors, advising a shift to shorter duration bonds – 2 to 4 year duration from 7 to 8 year -- which are less sensitive to interest rates change.

In an alternate universe, Daenerys Targaryen and Khal Drogo moved to the suburbs, where they lived happily ever after with their three dragon babies. A crew of family cosplayers brings that universe to life — just with costumed toddlers in lieu of actual (or CG) dragons.
As you may have guessed from the decorations in the background, this wasn't a convention trip but a Halloween costuming. Here's how one of the parents described the themed outfits:
According to my three year old son, the kids were dragons, Mommy was a princess and Daddy was "a scary".
The kid might be a little young to understand all the forced marriage and blood magic, but you know what they say: the family that cosplays together stays together.

The Secret
The Secret is one of the most important things you could ever know or experience - valuing at about two Buddhas or 90% of Jesus. Also, it is completely made up. Only slack-jawed, mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging lobotomy patients buy into this transparent New Age ruse.
"Without any embellishment at all, the significance of The Secret is more important than the biological urge that encourages reproduction."
Background of The Secret[edit]
The only lucid words ever spoken by a blind and brain-damaged street urchin, The Secret was written on paper made from human skin, smuggled from orifice to orifice, chinese whispered to a wise man who lived on a mountain and who told only those that could get past the Hydra, before eventually being entombed within an ancient Atlantian crypt for millennia - only to be channeled by an unsuspecting psychic housewife in 2007(100% Verifiable).
"The part I'm uncertain about is getting past the Hydra...well, I don't think the sword will help much...Because it grows back twice as many heads you fucktard."
" ive got a plus 1 axe to kill the hydra, because it cannot regenerate because i have mana burn. what do you mean i have herpes?."
The Size of The Secret[edit]
The secret is BIG. I mean, really really BIG - bigger than font can convey. Bigger than your mumma and her mumma combined.
"It isn't that big really."
"When I heard The Secret, I was totally cool about it - I just kept eating my cheese burger."
"It didn't fit in any holes I could find."
Evidence of The Secret at work(100% Verifiable)[edit]
- Pretty much any really famous and/or successful person knew The Secret. Aristotle, Plato, Isaac Newton, Martin Luther King, Mao Zedong, Henry Ford, Joseph Stalin, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Fred Savage, etc, are all good examples of people who must have known it.
- A totally zoned out hippie heard the secret, and became Jerry Seinfeld for a while, but then forget The Secret again, and so reverted to his original form, without any time apparently passing by.
- When good luck happens to people, like winning the lottery, that's the secret too.
"Haha, good question. Let's just say I had a little help from a certain something."
"Without knowing The Secret, I don't think development of nuclear weapons would have been possible."
What is The Secret?[edit]
I could tell you, but let's face it, if you deserved to know it, you wouldn't even be reading this page - you'd be out manipulating human society in subtle yet massive ways (or something even cooler). Do flowers spontaneously grow in your footsteps? Can you crack open a non-twist top beer just by using an eyelid? Can you calculate Pi? You still aren't good enough to know The Secret. Go home to your mere-mortal-life-is-average existence. Loser.
"Oh God. What did we do wrong? Oh Jesus. It was probably those goddamn action figure dolls you allowed him to have. "
The Modern Twist[edit]
Firstly, making sure we've established this, The Secret is Massive - massive like a hard-on-in-tight-pants massive. But, there is hope! The Secret, which at the moment is only known to a precious few, is available to you if you're willing to pay the ridiculously small fee for something so potent(!!!) and powerful. For £616.00 you too can share in the success of knowing The Secret. Let me put it another way - how important is gravity to you? Want to have something more important, working on your side? The time is at hand - only the first ten callers get this special offer. Call now and we'll throw in a copy of Crystal Healing - the beginners guide to Atlantian wisdom(100% proven), by the same author. Pay by credit card and received blessed salt satchels - sprinkle them around your house to make a force field to all bad energy/vibes/spirits(unable to block Karma, or voodoo).

Anheuser-Busch Marketing Getting Rebrewed As Keith Levy Departs
January 6, 2011: With the NFL playoffs and Super Bowl XLV fast approaching, one of football's most visible and active partners is undergoing changes within its marketing department.
Keith Levy, vp-marketing for Anheuser-Busch, is leaving the company effective Jan. 6 "to pursue other opportunities," according to a statement from Dave Peacock, president of Anheuser-Busch's U.S. division. "We thank Keith for his contributions to our company and wish him the best in his next endeavors."
Frank Abenante, global vp-brands and insights for the company, will "temporarily oversee marketing efforts" in the U.S. as a search for Levy's permanent replacement is conducted. "The leadership of our marketing is key to our growth and to exceeding our consumers' expectations," said Peacock.
Levy joined Anheuser-Busch in 1987 and was named vp-marketing in October 2008 when Peacock was promoted from vp-marketing to president of Anheuser-Busch as part of InBev's $52 billion takeover of the St. Louis-based beer company.
Anheuser-Busch next season becomes the official beer of the NFL, replacing Coors, which has had category exclusivity since 2002. Anheuser-Busch plans to run numerous ads during the NFL playoffs beginning Jan. 8 and currently has category exclusivity during broadcasts of the Super Bowl through 2012. During Super Bowl XLV on Feb. 6, which will be on Fox, Anheuser-Busch is expected to air about 5-6 minutes worth of commercials.
In addition, Anheuser-Busch has individual deals with a majority of NFL teams. Budweiser is the official beer partner of the NBA. Last month, Anheuser-Busch and Major League Baseball extended their official category alliance via a multi-year deal, which had been preceded by threats of litigation from both sides related to the renewal. Anheuser-Busch also has marketing deals with 26 of MLB's 30 teams, according to the company.
"The leadership of our marketing is key to our growth and to exceeding our consumers' expectations." — Dave Peacock, President, Anheuser-Busch
The marketing makeover comes at a time of challenged sales for Bud and Bud Light, according to industry analysts. In 2009, which was the first full year after the InBev takeover, Bud Light recorded its first sales volume decline in nearly 20 years.
When Anheuser-Busch signed the deal with the NFL this past May, Peacock extolled the virtues of the alliance.
"This gives Bud Light real ownership of professional football within the beer category, and expands on our existing connections to NFL fans through sponsorship of 28 teams, our continued substantial advertising presence in the regular season and playoff broadcasts and our Super Bowl advertising exclusivity that has been in place 22 consecutive years," Peacock said in a statement. "We continue to invest in the things that support our brands, and our efforts to manage costs enable us to seize opportunities like this one. We look forward to leveraging this investment to connect our Bud Light brand more deeply with NFL fans."
