Thanks! ^^
I'm wondering if you could make a sig out of strength in this photo I took of my figma of her.
Not sure if it's possible but would be very thankful if you could.
Also sorry about not providing picture directly but my iPad won't embed pictures into threads for some reason.
Many thanks
I hope this is something that can be used
Hey @Serated !
If you're not too busy, I'd like a request as well.
I actually have two signatures requests,
but if you only want to do one, then the first one will be fine.
Here is the first signature image
Here the second signature image (Only if you want to)
You can use whatever size and style you want.
The only text I would like is "Lucy".
Once again, if you're too busy and don't want to do the second one,
then thats fine. : ) Thank you!
you're anime sigs are very impressive. bravo! i absolutely love them all!
However, i challenge you to make a sig with something non anime!
think you can make one with this?
Think you got what it takes to handle the Lude???

Hmmm... Been a while
Using that other image you gave me on the visitor message.
This was a very tricky tag.
I'm still satisfied with this one, but I'll take a second just for fun

Thanks Oskar (and John) for submitting this super creative ARTSY FARTSY entry to the DUCK TAPE FESTIVAL.
We'll keep it rolling tomorrow with ANOTHER DUCK TAPE ENTRY! Stay tuned . . . But don't leave yet . . .
Here's our ADOPTABLE DOG OF THE DAY for Mayzie's RESCUE ME HOME event ~
This is Toby. He is being fostered through Save A Dog. He's a rat terrier/Jack Russell mix (approx. 1 yr old) and he sends out a big HI! to Ranger.
Toby is a small ADORABLE male short-haired terrier who has a HUGE heart. This dog has a soul, you can just see it in his eyes, in his whole expression. Whoever adopts him is going to be so lucky. We wouldn't be surprised if a book was written about him some day. This is one amazing dog who is going to blossom in your home. Like many of our rescues, he was a stray, nobody's dog, unwanted. Hard to believe. But now he is loved and adored by all the volunteers at Save A Dog. Toby is sweet, affectionate and playful. When He greets his people he will try to jump into your arms for hug and kisses. He loves kids and we recommend 10 and up for him. He is afraid of cats, so no cats, please. He can be timid with some men. He is recovering from an infection in his larynx, probably caused by the intubation during his neuter surgery. He is doing great and is not acting sick other than an occasional cough. When he was rescued he was wandering around a neighborhood in rural TN and people were threatening to shoot him, can you imagine!! Toby's foster mom says: He is smart, playful and very affectionate. He is great in his crate, on a leash and doesn't bark in the house. He settles down beautifully and loves bully sticks, peanut butter kongs and his daily walks in the woods. I think he would really like to play with another small dog. He loves to chase toys in the back yard and will try to run with stuffed animals almost as big as he is, very amusing. When he gets excited he puts his ears back and crouches down and then springs up and runs in circles. He really wants to bond with his people. He is in a foster home so we require an application first so we can arrange for him to be brought to the shelter for the meeting. Go to Save A Dog to find out more about adopting Toby and to see more adoptable pups.

An icon cannot be reinvented, it can only be challenged. And only Aventador could surpass itself. Following Miura, Islero, Countach, and Urraco, Lamborghini's most iconic model now reaps the inheritance of the historic S models and evolves into the new Aventador S Coupé. Exclusive Lamborghini design and the new V12 engine with a whopping 740 HP now join the most sophisticated technology of the range, featuring the new LDVA (Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Attiva/Lamborghini Active Vehicle Dynamics), which offers an unparalleled driving experience to all those who honour their egos by challenging themselves every day.
What the new S model inherits from the Aventador family is its extraordinary beating heart: the iconic V12 engine. It is the sign of recognition of a thoroughbred power, with its excellent acceleration performance at any engine speed, lightning-fast responsiveness, a breathtaking roar, and now a full 40 HP more to unleash on the asphalt. But Aventador S Coupé will not settle for less and wants everything: the performance features of a super sports car are joined by the extreme agility and handling of the 4 Wheel Steering system for unprecedented driving dynamics, along with the possibility to have the most personal driving experience ever thanks to the brand new EGO customised driving mode.
Working on the design of an icon like Aventador means not altering its character but exalting it even more. Aventador S Coupé continues to display the unmistakable Lamborghini DNA, while strengthening its mix of dynamism, refinement, and aggressiveness by means of even sharper lines inspired by nature and by aeronautics. While the hexagonal design of the new tailpipes means that the rear end is as powerful as the engine of a space shuttle, the front end features forms that recall the fins of a shark, transmitting the same force and elegance in dominating the road. But the design of a Lamborghini is never an end in itself. Each surface of the new Aventador S Coupé has been studied to gain power and improve performance. Compared to the first Aventador, in fact, the new design elements provide an increase of 130% in front downforce, while the new side air vents reduce turbulence, improving cooling and increasing efficiency.
The interiors of the new Aventador S Coupé fully reflect the car's mission, which is, to be different from all others: a super sports car with cutting-edge technology but also incredibly luxurious. The interior finishes are crafted using materials of the highest quality and present an infinite variety of possibilities, like the new S-trim configuration, created to celebrate the car's name. The options also include the possibility to choose an innovative material such as Carbon Skin® and to have certain parts of the carbon body left exposed. The elegance of the interior is matched with the extremely advanced technology, such as the instrument panel with interactive TFT LCD display with completely redesigned graphics, and the possibility to enhance the interiors with a LED lighting system created ad hoc.
In addition to its beating heart, Aventador S Coupé is also endowed with an incredibly sophisticated brain: the innovative Lamborghini Active Vehicle Dynamics (LDVA) control unit, a system of active technologies that can manage each of the dynamic axles of the vehicle.The lateral vehicle dynamics is controlled by a steering system that involves all four wheels using Lamborghini Dynamic Steering (LDS) and Lamborghini Rear-wheel Steering (LRS). The vertical vehicle dynamics is handled by the Lamborghini Magneto-rheological suspension (LMS) and the active rear aerodynamics. And the longitudinal dynamics relies on the four-wheel drive system (4WD). The LDVA system combines all the information coming from the car's sensors and establishes in real time the best setting for each driving condition. The result is performance that is absolutely perfect, safe, and compelling.
For the first time in its segment, the new Aventador S Coupé offers a unique combination of the active front steering system (Lamborghini Dynamic Steering) and the rear system (Lamborghini Rear-wheel Steering), offering topnotch dynamic performance. The LDS system adapts to the speed and the driving mode selected by moving from direct steering to a more indirect mode, while the LRS system handles the rear steering axle by means of two electromechanical actuators. With this system, at low speeds the rear axle steers in the opposite direction with respect to the front axle, leading to a virtual reduction of the wheelbase, which means greater nimbleness and unrivalled cornering performance. At high speed, instead, the two axles rotate in parallel, which generates a virtual increase of the wheelbase, thus guaranteeing full control of the car and excellent stability.
The new Aventador S Coupé features magneto-rheological front and rear shock absorbers with pushrod system, which constantly modify the behaviour of the suspensions according to the road conditions and the driving mode selected. In addition to compensating roll and undesired body movements, the system has been specially designed to work with the Rear-wheel Steering System, thus ensuring a perfect response in any type of condition.
La nouvelle Aventador S Coupé est équipée d'amortisseurs avant et arrière magnéto-rhéologiques avec système pushrod. Ces dispositifs modifient constamment le comportement des suspensions en fonction de l'état de la chaussée et du mode de pilotage choisi par le conducteur. En plus de compenser le roulis et les mouvements indésirables de la coque, le système a été spécialement conçu pour fonctionner avec le Rear-wheel Steering System, offrant ainsi la solution idéale dans chaque situation.
The four-wheel drive system of the new Aventador S Coupé has been optimised to work specifically with all the new active systems, in particular Rear-wheel Steering, the stabilising effect of which makes it possible to have a high percentage of distributed torque on the rear wheels. This gives a feeling that's sportier and more fun, but without compromising safety or ease of driving. The four-wheel drive system guarantees excellent performance in situations involving poor grip, and like all the other active systems of the car, it is calibrated according to the driving mode selected by the driver. The torque distribution between the front and the rear axles dynamically varies according to the driving mode selected and driving condition. Moreover, Aventador S Coupé can count on a new generation of Pirelli P Zero tyres. Developed specifically for the Aventador S Coupé, they have been designed to further enhance the car's innovative active systems to ensure excellent driving dynamics.
In any driving condition you might find yourself in, the new Aventador S Coupé gives you full control thanks to the driving mode selector, which provides optimal regulation of the engine, transmission, drive, steering, suspensions, and stability control based on the mode selected between STRADA, SPORT, and CORSA. But it's the addition of the fourth mode that makes the Aventador S Coupé a truly unique species: the EGO mode. With this new option, each individual setting becomes customisable, creating the most personal driving experience ever.
The mid-mount 6.5 liter V-12, generating 740 CV at 8,400 rpm, offers remarkable pick-up at high engine speeds and an incredibly fast response. The incredible acceleration, achieving a 0 to 100 km/h time of just 2.9 seconds, only partially describes the Aventador S Coupé, which is a genuine benchmark in the supercar sector.
The use of carbon fiber and derivatives is one of the characteristics which makes the Aventador S Coupé such a precise drive. The monocoque for the Aventador S Coupé, manufactured at Lamborghini's plant in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy, is a single component which offers incredible weight reductions while reaching unheard of levels of rigidity.
The ISR (Independent Shifting Rods) transmission ensures incredibly fast and thrilling gear shifts. The design goal was simple: to create an incredibly fast robotized transmission capable of generating unparalleled excitement. The ISR gearbox also offers two important advantages for a super sports car: a significant weight reduction and a size which is even smaller than a manual gearbox.
Choosing the car of your dreams means making one with your own hands. This is why Lamborghini has always been synonymous with personalisation. Exterior and interior colours, stitching, materials for the passenger compartment, and brake calipers: the combinations are potentially infinite and allow you to have a car that is truly unique: yours. Our dealers will be available to advise you in detail on the many possible personalisations, so that your automobile is truly in line with your needs and, above all, with your personality.

Last Thursday I was a TA for a public speaking course at Ohio State and was responsible for grading student oral presentations. Overall I was very impressed with the talent of the class, even if topics included "Why Jim Varney is the best actor ever" and "Everyone should buy a Hangover Helmet." Despite a clear disinterest in the class, most students were way more comfortable at speaking in front of a classroom than I was seven years ago… (Yes, I realize that my public speaking skills in 2003 should not be a benchmark to grade a class – but I used it anyways).
Although most speeches were interesting, one topic really stuck out from the rest. This student decided to talk for seven minutes as to why Mark Titus (OSU Men's Basketball Player) has the best blog in the country. As you can expect, I was skeptical at first. Who is this Mark Titus and what does he have on Joe Fahrendorf's Fisher Grad Life Blog? After all, the Google analytics are reporting that my blog actually receives a few unique hits per month (although this is steadily fading – c'mon Mom & Dad, start reading my blog again). Well, as it turned out, this guy was right. Mark Titus' blog "Club Trillion" is one of the best blogs in the country.
Mark "The Shark" Titus (#34)… aka Mr. Rainmaker is a staple of The Ohio State Men's Basketball bench. Mark's blog provides a perspective on college basketball that is impossible to gain from ESPN or other news sources. The name Club Trillion was developed from the stat line Mark usually earns: 1 minute played and nothing else. When this happens, the scorecard reads 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 – hence 1 Trillion. Although Mark is a highly talented basketball player (or so he claims), he is unable to be an everyday player on a program that is consistently ranked in the top 10.
Club Trillion has received nearly 2.5 million hits, slightly higher than my blog attendance. The blog has become such a hit that the website even sells Club Tril t-shirts, which have become very popular on The Ohio State campus. All the proceeds from the shirts go to support the charitable group A Kid Again.
As you can tell, I highly recommend you check out Club Trillion – in addition to the other authors on My Fisher Grad Life Blog. However, I will give you this warning: if you are like me and have no time for the next couple weeks, postpone exploring his blog until you have time to spare. I could not have been introduced to this website at a worse time. Next week I have a large marketing paper due and a negotiations exam. The following week I have 4 finals (so this will probably be the last post you see from me for two weeks… sorry).

I made stuffed and not stuffed cinnamon brioche French toast for breakfast the other day. I know!
Remember the last picture on this page? I'm giving you the how-to in this post, along with the instructions to make cinnamon swirl brioche out of the regular brioche dough from the same page.
(I'm making pull-apart cinnamon brioche as I type this, I'll post about it in the coming days if it works out. ETA: it worked!)
Getting right to it, because what follows is lengthy enough to read as it is.
Cinnamon Swirl Brioche:
For the cinnamon filling:
1 tablespoon (8 g) arrowroot powder
1 tablespoon (15 ml) hot water, more if needed
1/4 cup (55 g) packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon (8 g) ground cinnamon
One recipe brioche dough, starting right after the 18 hours in the fridge
Flour, to roll out
To make the cinnamon filling: Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl. Note that if the filling is too thick to be spread, you can add just a few drops extra hot water to it. Don't add too much though: it should be thick, not pourable, but spreadable. Let cool before using, so that it doesn't soften the refrigerated brioche dough too much when you apply the filling on top.
Punch down the refrigerated dough. Generously sprinkle the counter with flour. Roll out the dough into an approximately 7 x 14-inch rectangle. Carefully spread the filling all over into a thin layer, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) around the edges. Tightly roll the dough starting at the short side, and transfer it carefully, seam side down, into a greased 7.75 inch x 3.75 inch x 2.75 inch pan.
Loosely cover with plastic wrap, and let rise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until doubled and that it reaches the top of the pan.
Carefully remove the plastic wrap from the dough, as it might stick a little.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C, or gas mark 6). Line the oven rack with a piece of foil, just in case the cinnamon filling were to escape.
Bake the brioche for 10 minutes and lower the oven to 350°F (180°C, or gas mark 4), baking the brioche for another 25 minutes, until it reaches a deep golden brown color on top.
If it darkens before then, loosely cover with foil. If using a dark pan, check for doneness after a total of 25 to 30 minutes of baking. The best and most surefire way to tell if your brioche is ready is to put your oven mitts on, and carefully remove it from the pan to see if the bottom and sides of the loaf are a rich golden brown too.
Carefully remove from the pan, transfer onto a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing. Due to the use of flour when rolling out the dough, the top of the brioche might not be as buttery-looking as it is when making the basic version, so if you want, brush a little nondairy butter on top of the brioche right when you take it out of the pan to cool.
Yield: One brioche loaf
• I find that the rise in the slightly smaller than standard pan is far better for brioche. Good news is, the smaller pan isn't outrageously costly either.
• Remember to prepare the dough 18 hours ahead of time so that it's ready to go when you want to make the brioche.
Stuffed or Not Stuffed French Toast:
Four 1.5-inch (4-cm) thick slices of slightly stale regular or cinnamon brioche, or vegan challah bread (see notes below)
1/2 cup (70 g) fresh raspberries (optional if not stuffing)
1 cup (235 ml) full-fat coconut milk or coconut cream, divided
1 tablespoon (8 g) arrowroot powder
1 tablespoon (15 g) maca powder, optional
2 tablespoons (25 g) granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch fine sea salt
Non-stick cooking spray
Maple syrup, agave nectar, or brown rice syrup, to serve
Using a paring knife, cut a deep slit across the top in the middle of each slice. This will create your pocket. Stuff with about 2 tablespoons (31 g) of fruit, if using. Close the opening by gently pressing the bread together. Set the filled slices aside. Or just use thinner slices to make non-stuffed French toast.
Combine 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of the milk or cream with the arrowroot in a medium, shallow dish to dissolve the powder. Add the rest of the milk or cream, optional maca powder, sugar, vanilla and salt and whisk until smooth.
Place the pockets (or non-stuffed slices) one at a time into the mixture and soak for a few seconds on each and every side. Let the extra batter drip back down into the dish.
Heat a panini press fitted with smooth plates to high, or use a large skillet. Lightly coat both sides of the pockets with spray.
Cook the pockets on medium-low heat until golden brown, about 4 minutes in all if using a closed panini press, or 4 minutes on each side in a skillet.
Drizzle a little of your favorite liquid sweetener on top. Serve warm.
Yield: 4 stuffed pockets or about 8 single slices, depending on size
• If stuffing the bread sounds like too much work for you (like it did for me as the pictures above show), simply cut your slices more thinly (1/2- to 3/4-inch thickness would be good), dip them in the batter and cook in the skillet or on the panini press (without closing).
• If you decide to stuff your French toast, any berry will work well, be it blueberries, strawberries, or even blackberries. Just be sure to chop larger berries (like strawberries) so that they fit nicely in the pocket.
• Come to think of it, using unsweetened jarred (and well-drained) pears or peaches, chopped a little, sounds pretty awesome too. Especially when using the cinnamon brioche.
• If you won't be using brioche or any other buttery-type vegan bread to make this, you could make a compound of nondairy butter with the fruit: just mash 2 tablespoons (28 g) softened nondairy butter with the fruit until combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.

We think the current logos are pretty kickass, but we thought with a professional makeover (or redesign) they could be VERY kickass.
Ideally the new logos will build upon our current ones, and reinforce one another.
We will choose a winner.
http://kickasspoker.com/images/logo.png for details on what we are looking for!
This logo is used for the main website (top left hand side of every page) and it contains a symbol and the text kickasspoker to the right of the symbol, as well as the web address below the text. This logo is also used on the back of Tshirts.
This logo should be a symbol + text incorporated with it. Currently it is the symbol with the text kickasspoker wrapped in half moon shape above it for brand reinforcement, which we like. We put this logo on the front of Tshirts, baseball caps and along the right hand sidebar of the website for brand re-enforcement, as well as within in articles and content. This should be able to stand alone and still know that this is KickAssPoker.
The Symbol currently contains hidden symbolism in the form of the letters "K A P"and a Goat - our site mascot & scape 'goat' (he's a nice, friendly goat, not a satanic one). If this can be incorporated into the symbol all the better but we are not opposed to totally new designs, new fonts, etc., as long as it fits our criteria and reinforces the brand.
Desired colors are white logo on black background with maybe a little green or silver for highlighting. Also think shiny, bling, professional and clean looking.
We want strong, clean, simple, cool looking logos that represent our brand, are "kickass" memorable and can be displayed on websites, tshirts, hats, poker chips, letterhead, etc. The text font currently used is Helvetica Black (or Helvetica Black Neu Extended), the SS in kickass is replaced with $$ dollar signs.
Formats requested: png, gif, psd, ai, eps, pdf

We produce eleven wines from classical vineyard areas in Hawke's Bay. With their complexity, structure and balance these wines reward careful cellaring through continued evolution in bottle.
Te Mata wines are produced exclusively from our Hawke's Bay vineyards. Well-chosen sites and a generous climate underpin Hawke's Bay's quality reputation as a wine-growing region.
Wines have been made here for over a century. Te Mata Estate has been at the forefront of the modern rejuvenation of the New Zealand wine scene for the last forty years. We are large enough to be well-resourced but small enough to concentrate on detail.
Established in 1896, Te Mata Estate is one of the few New Zealand wineries with roots in the nineteenth century. We remain family-owned, proud of our inheritance and committed to the future.

Taking Money from Non-Muslims by Treacherous Means
After a while he found work but he did not receive any payment from the boss until after four months. During these four months he did not tell them anything because he had not received anything. In the fifth month he received his money in full from the boss, but he spent it all paying off debts that he owed. Then after that he told the social services that he had found work and signed off the dole. What is the ruling on the money that he received during those four months? Does he have to repay it to the government, knowing that he was obliged to tell them about the debt but he did not?
Another issue is that he does not have the full amount that he took from them. Thirdly, if he tells them now the matter may go to the police and he will have a big problem but may be pardoned, depending on the official who examines the case. The brother regrets it now and wants to set matters straight.
Taking wealth from non-Muslims in treacherous and deceitful ways is haram (impermissible), because deceit is haram in Islam, whether it is done to a Muslim or to a non-Muslim.
What a Muslim is obliged to do is to respect the agreement that exists between him and that country, even if it is a non-Muslim state, because the fact that it is non-Muslim does not mean that it is permissible for him to violate that agreement or betray it and consume its wealth unlawfully.
The brother should have disclosed his work regardless of the debt that he concealed from them.
If Allah guides a Muslim to repent from taking people's wealth unlawfully, then one of the conditions of this repentance is that he should return to people what is rightfully theirs, even if they are non-Muslims. If there is the fear of humiliation or criminal charges if he returns money to the social services department, then it is permissible for him to look for a suitable way of preserving his dignity whilst also returning money to its rightful owner without embarrassing himself, such as sending the money in the mail or delegating someone to take it to them without mentioning his name or what he did to them. It is not essential for the one who wants to return things to their rightful owners to disclose himself or his identity, because the purpose is to return things to their rightful owners.
For information on the evidence for this ruling, the views of the scholars and what he must do after having repented, please see the answers to questions no. 47086, 7545, 14367 and 31234.
If he does not have the whole amount, he may return what he can afford now, and the rest will remain a debt that he owes, which he must return when he is able to.
And Allah knows best.

Last Chance for Art of the Short Story Intensive Class
Last Chance for Art of the Short Story Intensive Class at ChuckPalahniuk.net
Update: This class is full. Congratulations to everyone who acted early to secure a spot. Prepare to grab your gear and strap in.
Art of the Short Story - beginning April 18th - is a highly specialized intensive six-week class with six mind-blasting units designed to impart vital craft knowledge in record time. These units work together synergistically to take any serious writer to a new level of story crafting proficiency. The teaching material has been synthesized through years of study and through the accumulated wisdom of several amazing mentors. But I've boiled down all of my best lessons into the core competency areas for compelling short ficiton. Each piece is essential and interconnects. You get all of the high protein fuel and none of the filler.
The magic doesn't happen automatically, of course. You shouldn't jump in if you're not good about finishing things or you've got almost 9,000 responsibilities this spring and your regard for this opportunity will place class participation at 8,999 on your priority list, right after "catch up on favorite TV shows." But if you understand that nothing good will come your way without hard work, then I invite you to join the remaining few who will get this chance. Your dedication means more to your success than your track record or where you currently rank yourself as a writer.
I won't be teaching Art of the Short Story again in the summer. I won't be teaching it in the fall. And there's a very good chance it won't be offerred here again. That's largely because of a new professional role that will be full-time for me starting mid-summer, a role that probably won't allow the dedicated time necessary. So, if you want to get the best of what I've learned through twenty years as an adult student of story craft, the latest seven burning it up right here as Workshop Administrator and Master Class Facilitator for ChuckPalahniuk.net, then please keep reading and click that registration link today. Also, pass this along to a friend.
-Mark Vanderpool
As previous students will attest, this class is not easy. It highlights the intensive part of "cult intensive," for certain. But it's also going to be a lot of fun.
Key craft areas for each of our six weeks include:
- Theme, Premise, and Story Argument
- Dramatic Conflict: Finding the Stakes
- Characterization: How your story people are shaped by experience and belief and how they show it.
- Dialogue: Learn to make it ring true and what it should and should not do.
- Poetics. Learn key elements of poetic prose: diction, compression, musicality.
- Story Arc: Where is this bus taking us? Will we be happy when we get there?
Start Date: April 18, 2011
Limited Enrollment: No more than 18 seats will be sold.
Definite Goal: You will wrap up this workshop with two publishable short stories.
Qualified Instructor: Learn from the Master Student and acrobatic synthesizer of craft knowledge. Mark Vanderpool (forum name: vigorous puppy) recruits our guest instructors and organizes all of our classes. He has apprenticed himself to every Cult Master Class Teacher we've played host to in the past and sponged up their knowledge and secrets like no other. A published poet and collegiate playwright prior to his days at The Cult, Mark is now becoming known for prose fiction. Consistent with his earliest job in radio, he also has the communication skills of a broadcast journalist. Mark will be critiquing your work and available for telephone consulations, as well.
Art of the Short Story is six weeks of adventure and learning experience you don't want to miss. The list price is $395, but the Early Bird Discount saves a whopping 25% through April 15th, making your educational investment only $296.25 if you register right away. Hurry, as seats are limited to bring focus and allow for extensive critique. Enter coupon code: dedication at checkout.

Endorsements for previous classes with this instructor:
Art of The Short Story was the most intense learning experience of my writing life thus far, and definitely the most challenging. I've taken 3 classes with The Cult, and Art of The Short Story was the first time that I was able to go somewhere Greater than where I had envisioned myself going as a writer by the end of the class. I feel that I've advanced not only as a writer, but in my understanding of the craft. I'm much more confident now when approaching a story, and while I'm the one who puts in the work, I credit Mark and Art of The Short Story for the writer that I am today. The class promotes the notion of finishing with at least 2 "ready for publication" stories, and already I've heard back that one of my stories from the class will be published this summer. Not only that, but you'll craft more than 2 stories during the stretch of the class –I wrote 5 altogether and feel that my other four have an equal chance of finding a home. I couldn't be happier with the results of this class.
–Nathan Pettigrew, Boston, Massachusetts.
I took part in the first one [Zen Mind Beginning Fiction Course] and was very happy. The knowledge that Vig imparts is second to none, and he will exceed any expectations you might have.
There is nowhere else in the world where someone with his level of experience will give you one on one feedback for this kind of money.
If you are a person that thinks that you might be a good writer, but are unsure of how to get a story started or finished this is the workshop for you. If you are already an accomplished writer, it is also a great way to refresh some fundamentals and maybe pick up something new.
-Jason C., Conyers, Georgia
I've been writing for several years, but this past fall I took a Zen Mind Beginners course (despite the fact that I wouldn't have considered myself a "beginner" writer). I cannot really explain what the lecture, assignments and participation did for me as a writer, but I pumped out some of my best ever work while taking that course, and I'm still writing strong. I've also met some wonderful new writer friends who still keep me motived, even now that the course is long over.
-Rebecca, Kamloops, B.C.
The Zen Mind Beginning Fiction Course unblocked my mind and opened my eyes.
-Jami Kali, Wilkes-Barre, PA
I cannot begin to explain how much enjoyment I drew from the two workshops I was in (Zen Mind and Craig Clevenger). It surprised me how much interaction there was, how much feedback I received, and the overall positive, friendly and non-competitive environment they provided. It was a pleasure to exchange tips, feedback, to see how everyone responded to a prompt and learn from that. I definitely have noticed an improvement in my writing, and new awareness of elements that make it work or not. It was money well spent, time well spent. The workshops were intensive, yes, but that's what I expected. Right now I am almost certain that one of the stories I wrote for the Zen Workshop ("Exorcism") will get published in Fiction International (I am making some revisions). I am also in the process of finding other journals, but I'm sure more publications will result from what I produced during the two workshops.
-Liana V., McAllen, TX
Aside from learning at The Cult being the fastest and most complete ramp up into the skills you need to be a successful writer, it's also a breeding ground for writers from any level, to meet, share, and develop the friendships that KEEP you writing once you've started.
This would be the first and only place I'd send someone interested in really honing their skills as a writer.

FreeBSD Manual Pages
Catalyst::AuthenticatiUserSContributedsPerluDoentication::Store::LDAP::User(3) NAME Catalyst::Authentication::Store::LDAP::User - A User object representing an LDAP object. SYNOPSIS You should be creating these objects through Catalyst::Authentication::Store::LDAP::Backend's "get_user" method, or just letting $c->authenticate do it for you. sub action : Local { my ( $self, $c ) = @_; $c->authenticate({ id => $c->req->param(username), password => $c->req->param(password) ); $c->log->debug($c->user->username . "is really neat!"); } If you access just $c->user in a scalar context, it will return the current username. DESCRIPTION This wraps up an LDAP object and presents a simplified interface to it's contents. It uses some AUTOLOAD magic to pass method calls it doesn't understand through as simple read only accessors for the LDAP entries various attributes. It gets grumpy if you ask for an attribute via the AUTOLOAD mechanism that it doesn't know about. Avoid that with using "has_attribute", discussed in more detail below. You can skip all that and just go straight to the Net::LDAP::Entry object through the "ldap_entry" method: my $entry = $c->user->ldap_entry; It also has support for Roles. METHODS new($store, $user, $c) Takes a Catalyst::Authentication::Store::LDAP::Backend object as $store, and the data structure returned by that class's "get_user" method as $user. The final argument is an instance of your application, which is passed along for those wanting to subclass User and perhaps use models for fetching data. Returns a Catalyst::Authentication::Store::LDAP::User object. id Returns the results of the "stringify" method. stringify Uses the "user_field" configuration option to determine what the "username" of this object is, and returns it. If you use the special value "dn" for user_field, it will return the DN of the Net::LDAP::Entry object. supported_features Returns hashref of features that this Authentication::User subclass supports. check_password($password) Bind's to the directory as the DN of the internal Net::LDAP::Entry object, using the bind password supplied in $password. Returns 1 on a successful bind, 0 on failure. roles Returns the results of Catalyst::Authentication::Store::LDAP::Backend's "lookup_roles" method, an array of roles that are valid for this user. for_session Returns the user for persistence in the session depending on the persist_in_session config option. Stores the persist_in_session setting so it can be used to revive the user even if the setting has been changed. ldap_entry Returns the raw ldap_entry. attributes($type) Returns an array of attributes present for this user. If $type is "ashash", it will return a hash with the attribute names as keys. (And the values of those attributes as, well, the values of the hash) has_attribute Returns the values for an attribute, or undef if that attribute is not present. The safest way to get at an attribute. get A simple wrapper around has_attribute() to satisfy the Catalyst::Authentication::User API. get_object Satisfies the Catalyst::Authentication::User API and returns the contents of the user() attribute. ldap_connection Re-binds to the auth store with the credentials of the user you logged in as, and returns a Net::LDAP object which you can use to do further queries. AUTOLOADed methods We automatically map the attributes of the underlying Net::LDAP::Entry object to read-only accessor methods. So, if you have an entry that looks like this one: dn: cn=adam,ou=users,dc=yourcompany,dc=com cn: adam loginShell: /bin/zsh homeDirectory: /home/adam gecos: Adam Jacob gidNumber: 100 uidNumber: 1053 mail: email@example.com uid: adam givenName: Adam sn: Jacob objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: organizationalPerson objectClass: Person objectClass: Top objectClass: posixAccount You can call: $c->user->homedirectory And you'll get the value of the "homeDirectory" attribute. Note that all the AUTOLOADed methods are automatically lower-cased. Special Keywords The highly useful and common method "username" will map to the configured value of user_field (uid by default.) $c->user->username == $c->user->uid AUTHORS Adam Jacob <firstname.lastname@example.com> Some parts stolen shamelessly and entirely from Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Store::Htpasswd. Currently maintained by Peter Karman <email@example.com>.

The two sites that probably had the greatest impact on my experience in the retro gaming world are DOS Museum (later to be known as Demu.org, and now moving over to archive.org as the Classic PC Games collection) and RGB Classic Games. I'd like to express my utmost gratitude to these sites' administrators, Swizzle of Demu.org and DOSGuy of RGB Classic Games.
Freeware & Shareware Archives
Remain in Play
This is as much a database of commercial games that have been released into public domain as it is a gaming site. It provides info, screenshots and downloads of freeware games, but keep in mind that the database includes not only playable games, but also source code and raw data if those were the only things released to the public. There options to filter games by type of distributed content, and it's a good idea to look for binary executables if you want to get playable games and not files that are barely useful if you aren't a programmer or game developer yourself.
Liberated Games
A website that is quite similar to Remain in Play, this is a database of former commercial games that have been released as freeware. This includes the games themselves and the source code, where applicable. The website offers limited browsing capabilities though (only games by alphabet), but contains extensive information on each title, links and additional items like source ports for specific games.
Theodor Lauppert's Game Gallery (mirror site)
Here you'll find interesting, insightful reviews of games, tons of related links, screenshots, demo/shareware/freeware downloads etc. You can browse games by genre, title, platform (featured games aren't limited to PC only), or country. There are also a few interesting related sites:
King Svatopluk's Court - a nice site dedicated to various RPGs like the Elder Scrolls series.
Svatopluk's Game World - various articles about games.
Svatopluk's DOSBox - a large, unsorted collection of screenshots from various DOS games.
Svatopluk's Arcade - a lot of info and screenshots about all sorts of arcade games.
Demu.org (formerly known as DOS Museum)
This is by far one of the largest archive of shareware episodes, demo versions, extras and utils for DOS and Windows games, as well as a selection of other programmes. Quite a few rare items can be found here, so it's a must see for everyone :P The only imaginable drawback is that original file names of archives aren't always preserved, and some games have been repackaged in RAR for better compression. Both playable and unplayable demo versions (and also preview slideshows, trailers etc.) are present. There's an option of ordering a DVD with the entire collection of the site per mail. Links to sites that offer full versions of featured games for purchase are present where applicable.
RGB Classic Games
Behind this site is an extensive agenda of preservation of old games (DOS and Windows), and thanks to the initiative of the site's author some old titles have been officially released into public domain by their respective developers following Internet petitions. RGB Classic Games is unique because it aims to include every existing version of each featured game, and the community members actively search for rare releases of old games. Each game on the site is accompanied by an brief but informative description that contains info on developers, publishers, current availability etc. Non-playable content is usually not included. The site also offers their complete collection on DVDs. Links to sites that offer full versions of featured games for purchase are present where applicable. There's also an extensive archive of emulators and other utilities you might need to play the games on modern machines, and comprehensive guides to successfully running old games on new hardware. In addition, there is an option to play featured games right in your browser.
Hallfiry's CD Index
An incredibly powerful search engine that allows to view contents of more than two thousand magazine cover disks from the 90s and the 2000s. Prominent English, German, French, Polish and other magazines are featured, and links to CD images are present where possible (including links to the Internet Archive's CD Archive).
Kult Cover Disks - The Cover CD & Magazine Archive!
Hallfiry's extensive collection of gaming magazines and magazine cover disks (mostly in German).
Kult Game Downloads
Hallfiry's database of shareware and demo releases of PC games from the 90s and the 2000s, as well as patches and various extras.
Smush The Cat
A nice collection of shareware episodes, demo versions and freeware full versions of old DOS and Windows games. Descriptions and other info are scarce, but links to official and related websites for games are present if possible. There's an option to browse by multiple categories (platform, game type etc.). The site also offers utilities that might be needed to run the old games on modern systems.
This is a popular site with a large archive of DOS games, offering playable demo versions and shareware episodes. Well-known classics are present alongside more obscure titles. There's also a community forum where people can get help with getting a game to run on a modern machine, or locating an old game they just can't find. A selection of utilities needed to run the games is also available.
DOS Games Archive
A sister site to dosgames.com. Non-playable content is also present, as are full versions of games that have officially become freeware. There's a multi-category browsing option (by genre, playability etc.), a number of selected screenshots for each game (unfortunately, they're not always from the demo version), cheat code listings and links to places where you can buy the full version if a game is still sold.
The DOS Multiplayer Archives
This site focuses on playing old DOS games over the net (through DOSBox). It offers demos of DOS games that have multiplayer capability, already bundled with DOSBox configured for online play. The collection of games isn't very large at the moment, but it can be expected to grow. Currently, the focus is on the less known games that have a multiplayer option, because they're not as easy to run on modern systems as those well-known classics (Doom, Duke Nukem 3D etc.) that have source ports to newer platforms, as well as large supporting communities.
Game Reviews
Hardcore Gaming 101
A dedicated old-gaming site with a huge database of detailed articles about PC and console games and game series.
The Computer Show

According the National Institutes of Health 8 out of 10 individuals will suffer back problems at some point in their lives. The main reason? Chairs, lack of exercise and weight gain.
The Journal of the American Medical Association, found that spending on spine treatments in the United States totaled nearly $86 billion in 2005, a rise of 65 percent over eight years, after adjusting for inflation. Despite the spending increase, the proportion of people with impaired function due to spine problems increased during the period, even after controlling for an aging population. Why is this happening?
According to the medical community, it is not totally clear why more people appear to be suffering from back and neck pain. Many researchers suggest it is due to the increase in obesity rates and the sedentary nature of most employees lives. It is a well documented fact that an effective means of strengthening patient's backs is through walking. Additionally the amount of time spent sitting in chairs has a dramatic effect on back problems.
Exponential Impact: Sitting puts nearly twice the strain on backs as standing and poor sitting postures exacerbate the problems further, leading to the number one injury in the workplace.
Walking is the most beneficial low impact exercise to strengthen the back and walking with a treadmill desk is even more low impact than a jaunt around the block (due to soft deck technologies of most treadmills). Movement allows the vertabrae to act as shock absorbers and also receive necessary nutrients for spinal health. This is cut off entirely when we sit in the same poor positions for eight hour days.
Sitting also reduces the flexibility of the psoas (dominant hip flexor) affecting how the pelvis rotates and increases the stress on the lower back.
Walking daiiy with treadmill desks free employees from the shackles of a desk job and allows them to strengthen their back and leg muscles. This greatly impacts their health and productivity and keeps back problems at bay.

I hunted 14 species of game birds; a lion hunted me
When a herd of zebras loomed up in the sweep of our headlights, I began to believe I was in Africa.
As we'd landed at Johannesburg Airport after dark and loaded up for the two-hour drive to our lodge at Kroonstad, those zebra were my first sight of the wild Africa I'd come for.
The next morning I saw much more. As we motored to our first game-bird shooting area, plains antelope gathered behind farm fences along the road. Ostriches roamed at will.
Chumming around Podickery and Hackett's continues to produce some good-sized rockfish, though the presence of cownosed rays attracted to the chum can put a damper on the bite. Medium-sized stripers are biting on soft crabs drifted in close around the Bay Bridge pilings. Live-lining-sized spot are in abundance (as well as for sale in some sport stores) and can lure nice stripers. Croaker are showing up in good sizes in the Eastern Bay along with some larger spot. White perch are holding in nice schools lower in most rivers in 15 to 20 feet of water and in the main stem at 20 to 30 feet. They are starting to show up in the shallows around structure but not yet in force. Lovely spotted sea trout are being caught (and mostly released) in the lower Bay around Crisfield and Tangier Sound; some are over 10 pounds. The vaunted redfish bite that was to occur in the Bay this year is developing: Fish shallow-water structure with peeler crab or small gold spoons or spinner baits if you want to find some of these delicious fish. They are a slot fish: legal size 18 to 27 inches only.
This wild, African adventure started this spring with a phone call from old sporting friend Mike Kelly. Mike and I have been hunting together for over 35 years, arranging at least once or twice annually to meet and hunt upland birds or waterfowl. Our rendezvous continued even after he moved to London.
There he had become friends with another Londoner, Kiri Kythreotis, who organizes South African hunting expeditions — bird hunting rather than big game safaris.
Mike easily talked me into joining him in June, the start of the African winter and hunting season. Mike and I were joined by another group of seven U.S. sportsmen organized and accompanied by Vic Venters, a senior editor of Shooting Sportsman Magazine (www.shootingsportsman.com).
Kroonstad is located in a province of The Free State known as the granary of South Africa. It produces enormous crops of corn, sorghum, millet, sunflowers and wheat. A high plains province, it is reminiscent of our own state of South Dakota though a bit larger (81,000 square miles) and with higher elevation. There the similarities end.
Because of these crops and large amounts of uncultivated grassland providing cover, these plains teem with countless African guinea fowl, francolin grouse, rock pigeons, ring-neck doves, red-eye doves, laughing doves, Egyptian geese, spur-winged geese, European snipe and African quail, plus various species of ducks.
We found it a wing shooter's paradise, sampling in six days the many game birds and waterfowl that populate the nearby farms where we had permission to shoot. Many of the 14 species we hunted proved delicious, and we held a number of excellent game bird dinners at camp.
The most exciting moment ended one of our more successful days. Heading back to the lodge tired, we traveled a road next to the Boskopie Lion Reserve. Its fences were about eight feet high, with the last few feet electrified. But they did not look particularly substantial in respect to the animals they were holding. Despite misgivings, we got out of our vehicles to photograph two large lions, an adult male and female. From the ministrations and attentions of the male, it was obvious that the female was in estrus.
As we approached, the pair moved about 50 feet away from the fence with the male guarding the female and uttering a low growl. It was then that my good buddy Mike suggested that a much more interesting photograph could be taken if I put my camera through the fence.
Naively, I agreed, moved in closer and leaned down to take the shot. With a roar, the male lion wheeled and charged me. Though I do not recall my feet touching the ground in making my escape, I clearly remember thinking, If that fence does not hold, I am toast.
The charge turned out to be a bluff. The lion slid to a stop just short of the wire. My companions, of course, thought the event hilarious and congratulated me on the alacrity of my exit.
E-mail [email protected] to learn more about the operation that managed my trip, which also offers surprisingly affordable customized photo and sightseeing safaris.

Not sure if Colette was finished with his story, but it's been a few days. I do my best to not fuck anyone else's stuff up with this story, and I humbly request that you do not fuck this story up until I'm finished with it (hypocrisy much?).
"Why do we still have to guard this place? We've won! The A.N. is dead!"
The whining of the Geraldden mercenary elicited grunts of sympathy from his two comrades. They were keeping watch over the abandoned and ruined General Assembly hall in the Allied Nations Headquarters. It felt very pointless, seeing how the Third Alliance was firmly in control, the scared delegates had been sent home, and the rest of the Geraldden troops were out on the town celebrating their victory. And now it was raining too. Who thought it was a good idea to blow up the hall's roof? The three mercs lit another round of cigarettes and sighed.
Suddenly, the rain stopped. The soldiers glanced upwards. The sky was just as cloudy as before.
Then a huge grey and blue shuttle decloaked above their heads.
"What the fu – " and the shuttle's turret guns opened up, splattering the mercs across the hall. It landed, barely getting in through the broken roof. The ramp was lowered, and out strode Vergilius Raskolnikov.
A Proceedings officer and a Propaganda-Team followed in his wake. Vergilius seated himself in the chair reserved for delegates from his empire, the officer took up position at the Secretary-General's podium, while the Propaganda-Team deployed microphones, cameras and a Sub-Etha-transmitter, set to broadcast live across the galaxy.
"The Third Alliance are fools if they think they can defeat the Allied Nations through conventional methods", Vergilius mused as his underlings worked. "This is not a war of the battlefield… this is a war decided by words."
"All set, sir!"
"Good. Begin." The cameras turned on, and what they filmed showed up in monitors throughout the whole galaxy.
"We hereby return to the election of Secretary-General for the Allied Nations", the Proceedings officer began. "The nominees are as follows: Lord Stannis of the Westeros sector, Kommander Alec of the RIN, Emperor Harlek of the MASS, Siri of Trattoria, the unseen leader of the Realm of Storms, and Vergilius Raskolnikov. Cast your votes."
"I vote for Vergilius Raskolnikov", Vergilius Raskolnikov said.
"Any other votes?"
The hall was silent.
"Vergilius Raskolnikov is hereby elected Secretary-General of the Allied Nations."

Q. Why doesnít CFCA have programs in the United States?
A. CFCA was founded in 1981 to work in developing countries because two of the founders, Bob Hentzen and Jerry Tolle, had worked in Latin America and witnessed conditions of extreme poverty in which the most basic life needs went unmet.
Social assistance programs similar to those in the U.S. are often not available in communities where CFCA is present.
Education may not be free. Parents must often pay enrollment fees, or buy books, uniforms and supplies they cannot afford. Many children donít visit doctors because of the cost of care.
CFCA's Hope for a Family program provides benefits tailored to the needs of sponsored friends, such as nutritious food, education, health care and livelihood programs for families to help them build a path out of poverty.
In developing countries, the contributions of CFCA sponsors go a long way toward providing these vital services.
CFCA does strive to serve the local community at its headquarters in Kansas City, Kan., through participation in several programs, including an internship program for underprivileged high school students and collecting personal-care items for a homeless shelter.

Interim president Oleksandr Turchynov on Monday was the latest to indicate that the spiraling violence in an increasingly divided Ukraine looks more and more like civil war as efforts to contain uprisings in the east against Kiev's authority have only elevated the violence in recent days.
"War is in effect being waged against us, and we must be ready to repel this aggression," said Turchynov in a televised address from Kiev and referring to violence in the cities of Odessa, Slavyansk, and elsewhere over the weekend.
According to Agence France-Presse, the latest high-level warning from Kiev comes as Ukraine spirals "further into a chaos that many fear could result in open civil war."
Turchynov has called up additional forces and reintroduced conscription for military-aged Ukrainians citing fear of a Russian invasion on the eastern border.
This AFP video report shows how some regular Ukrainians are preparing for "civil war":
Meanwhile, in and around the city of Slavyansk on Monday, journalists reported that opposing factions were exchanging heavy gunfire and that loud explosions could be heard throughout the area.
And in Donetsk, militias opposed to Kiev's rule and calling for a referendum vote on their autonomy have now taken full control of the city despite continued threats from the Ukraine army.
"What is happening in the east is not a short-term action," said Vasyl Krutov, who heads the Kiev government's military operations in the east. "This is essentially a war."
As the following map by AFP shows, the number of cities in open revolt against the Kiev government is growing:The Associated Press reports:
Ukraine is facing its worst crisis in decades as the polarised nation of 46 million tries to decide whether to look towards Europe, as its western regions want to do, or improve ties with Russia, which is favoured by the many Russian-speakers in the east.
In the last few weeks, anti-government forces have stormed and seized government buildings and police stations in a dozen eastern Ukrainian cities. Authorities in Kiev – who blame Russia for backing the insurgents – have up to now been largely powerless to react.
And since Russia has kept tens of thousands of troops along Ukraine's eastern border – and annexed its key Black Sea peninsula of Crimea last month – Ukraine's central government fears Russia could try to invade and grab more territory.
Since the government began trying to take back the buildings late last week, Slavyansk has been under a tight security cordon. Movement in and out of the city has ground almost to a halt, causing shortages in basic supplies. Lines have been seen at grocery stores.
The goals of the insurgency are ostensibly geared towards pushing for broader powers of autonomy for the region, but some insurgents favour separatism, and the annexation of Crimea looms over the entire political and military discussion.
Following Friday's violence in Odessa and the growing number of revolts in the east, former U.S. ambassador to Moscow, Michael McFaul, spoke with Time magazine and made this warning: "The last 24 hours was a major escalation," told TIME. "This is real. This is war."

After having bricked 3 motherboards trying to get Intel TXT to work on Haswell and Ivy Bridge, I don't believe motherboard manufacturers really support this technology. That includes Intel's only Q87-based motherboard.
For Q77 and Q87-based desktop motherboards, I haven't found a single board that works with recent SINIT AC Modules and with updated CPU microcode.
I wonder if any forum participant has a working Intel TXT setup with *any* Haswell motherboard based on Q87. I am starting to believe that Intel simply does not support this technology on Q87 contrary to what all documentation says. Curiously, Q87 isn't even listed in the SINIT AC Modules list, an oversight or representative for the support-level given to this technology?
http://software.intel.com/en-us/article ... echnology/
I am also soliciting examples of confirmed Intel TXT setups based on C222 or C226 chipsets.
Looking for hen's teeth: Working TXT Haswell Q87 boards.

Rio de Janeiro is known for its majestic natural sights, pristine beaches, and carnival celebrations. If you are planning a trip to Rio de Janeiro it is sure to be an amazing holiday, but why not make it even more unforgettable by staying in your very own holiday rental instead of a hotel? Holiday rentals offer an experience that is unique to your needs and specific taste with all the benefits of having your own home away from home. Whether you're looking for a cozy apartment for two within walking distance of Ipanema Beach, a luxury penthouse that can accommodate a group of ten people, or anything in between, there is sure to be a Rio de Janeiro holiday rental to suit your needs.
With a wide variety of attractions to experience, you can make your trip to Rio de Janeiro as unique as you are. Climb aboard the cable car at Sugar Loaf Mountain to catch a breathtaking panoramic view of the area, and don't forget your camera. If you would rather stay lower to the ground, the famous Ipanema and Copacabana beaches are great places to soak up some sun and enjoy local flavor. The Lapa Arches are a gorgeous architectural landmark to catch during the day, and at night the area comes alive with a variety of samba nightclubs and refreshment stands. Go for a hike and enjoy the scenic waterfall and wildlife at Tijuca National park, or enjoy some Gregorian chants on Sundays at Sao Bento Monastery. No matter how you personally decide to enjoy Rio de Janeiro, the perfect way to make your trip even more unique is by going back to your very own holiday rental after the adventures of the day.
You know that renting a holiday home is a great choice because it is personalized to you and helps you to enjoy the privacy and comfort of your own home, but did you know that holiday rentals can also save you money? If you are traveling with a large group, it can get expensive to book multiple hotel rooms, but renting one house that can accommodate everyone is a solution that works not only for your group but for your wallet as well. If you are planning on staying in Rio de Janeiro for a while, many holiday rentals offer special deals on extended stays, so you can stay longer and pay less out of pocket. Renting a holiday home for your Rio de Janeiro holiday is a win-win situation that can help you make the most of your trip.

The Most Rewatchable Action Movies
List Rules Action movies that you've watched multiple times and continue to enjoy
Is there such a thing as comfort movies when it comes to action films? This is a list of action movies we keep watching, even when there are newer, more intense, or overall better action films to watch. Because it doesn't have to be good to be a rewatchable action movie, you just have to love it.
These are the movies we own multiple copies of, so if they're not available on streaming, we can still get our fix. Some of the greatest action movies, like The Dark Knight and The Matrix, have obvious rewatch value. Or, you love Bruce Willis so you end up watching Sin City as often as Die Hard. But then there are movies like Face/Off that are just much-loved guilty pleasures.
It doesn't matter why you like rewatching action movies, only that you love to watch them again and again. What action movies do you think are the best to rewatch?

Call for Proposals – PRISM Break up @ Eyebeam
PRISM Break Up
October 3-6, 2013
New York, NY
Request for Proposals
DEADLINE: MIDNIGHT August 25
On October 3-6, 2013, Eyebeam Art and Technology Center will host the first event of its kind PRISM Break Up, a series of art and technology events dedicated to exploring and providing forms of protection from overreaching surveillance. The gathering will bring together a wide spectrum of artists, hackers, academics, activists, security analysts and journalists for a long weekend of meaningful conversation, hands-on workshops and art installations.
Why does it matter?
In the contemporary digital era, privacy has become a luxury for the initiated. Google and Facebook mine your personal data for a profit, the government monitors your phone calls, even shopping malls track the mobile phones connected to their wifi. In the wake of revelations about the NSA PRISM program, many citizens are left wondering what they can do to protect their privacy. We believe everyone has a right to define their own digital privacy, understand how it is being compromised, and feel empowered to protect it.
Initiatives like Prism Break (http://prism-break.org/), the Locker Project (http://lockerproject.org/), and Security in a Box (https://securityinabox.org/) have attempted to combat privacy violations, but the process continues to be complex and inaccessible to the general population. We also recognize that security and privacy, especially at the hardware level, is tricky, but that's not going to stop us from trying to determine how it can best be protected.
Thursday Oct. 3 – Kickoff party and art opening.
Friday Oct. 4 – Evening lectures/discussions, screening party.
Saturday Oct. 5- Day of workshops.
Sunday Oct. 6- Lectures/discussions, wrap up, help cafe, cryptoparty.
There are three categories of participation: talks, workshops and art:
Do you have an idea for a lecture, panel discussion or other type of talk you would like to give about privacy, security, surveillance or PRISM related issues? Submit your idea! Talks will take place Friday, Oct. 4th.Topics can be from 15-20 minutes in length, variable if a panel discussion is implied. From the submissions, we will select between 6-8 talks and a maximum of 2 panels.
The goal of these workshops is to share security techniques with the general public. Want to teach people how to secure their communications? Is it possible to get off Google? How do we avoid being tracked? If you know how to do so in a fun and engaging way, propose a workshop! We are also looking for people to assist during our Sunday help cafe.
Initial workshop ideas include implementing any of the PRISM-break technologies (https://prism-break.org/), mobile encryption, building affinity groups, evading hardware level surveillance, steganographic tools, submitting FOIA requests, and generally getting over Google. Workshops will be around 45 minutes in length and take place on Saturday, Oct. 5th.
Do you create works dealing with issues of privacy and surveillance? Submit your work to the PRISM Break Up exhibition taking place Oct. 3-6. Installations and collaborations, non-traditional and experimental work is encouraged.
Is your work ephemeral, hard to transport or located far from New York? We can't cover transportation but we are having a screening party. Submit a video work or documentation of your privacy themed art to our screening taking place Friday Oct. 4.

Our founding year
Roofer Franz Falke-Rohen, who worked as a seasonal knitter in the cold winter months, founds his own knitting mill.
Which shop would you like to use?
Roofer Franz Falke-Rohen, who worked as a seasonal knitter in the cold winter months, founds his own knitting mill.
His oldest son Franz Jr., a trained umbrella maker, takes charge of the small knitting mill and leads it through the turmoil of the First World War.
Franz Falke-Rohen and his son purchase the "Wool and Hair-Yarn Spinning Mill Carl Meisenburg" in Schmallenberg (later FALKE Yarns), thereby laying the foundation for the development of today's group of companies.
A new factory is built in Schmallenberg featuring new hosiery machines and its first telephone system. The headquarters of the FALKE Group is still at the same location today. Eight sewing subsidiaries reaching all the way to Thuringia were added as contract manufacturers.
Franz Falke Senior's handicraft business founded in 1895 has become an impressive industrial company with approximately 800 employees. This is the year Franz Falke Senior passes away, leaving behind a considerable life's work.
Acquisition of the "Salomon Stern Knitwear Company", founded in Schmallenberg in 1810, where Franz Falke-Rohen formerly worked as a knitter. Today the "Salomon Stern" company operates under the name FALKE Fashion.
The FALKE trademark was designed in 1946 and first used for legwear. The word-image logo was registered and protected as a trademark in 1950.
Sons Paul and Franz-Otto Falke take over the group after the death of their father Franz Falke Jr. Their goals include consistent brand management for all product lines and the development of foreign markets for export. In the ensuing decades, sales offices and production facilities are established in Europe and abroad.
Purchase of the Uhli hosiery plant, founded in 1948. This is where the first nylon stockings were made and the first tights were finished on a cotton machine. With this purchase, FALKE was able to tap into both the fine and knitted hosiery markets.
In addition to hosiery, FALKE makes a very good name for itself with women's knitwear. However, the women's line was discontinued in 1985 in favour of a stronger focus on men's fashion.
Along with concentrating production in the Schmallenberg and Lippstadt parent plants, FALKE begins establishing foreign production facilities in Portugal, Austria and Hungary as well as a location in South Africa. www.falke.co.za
In this year, the corporate directors Paul and Franz-Otto Falke receive the German Marketing Award.
FALKE is inspired by collaborating with international designers. Licensing partnerships are worked out with Armani, Lagerfeld, Christian Dior and Paul Smith. Other licensing partners include Moschino, Jeff Sayre, Yves Saint-Laurent, Kenzo, Boss, Esprit, JOOP! and Camel.
Paul Falke Sr. dies at the age of seventy. His son Paul and Paul's cousin Franz-Peter, son of Franz-Otto Falke, take over the management of the Group.
The first FALKE Flagship Store for outerwear is opened in Cologne.
FALKE Yarns receives the German environmental protection award in the category "Environmentally-friendly Products" from the BDI (German Union of Engineers). The award is presented for the development of "Clima Wool", an insulating material made of sheep's wool.
Leinefelde Textilewerke GmbH (LTW) in Leinefelde, Thuringia is acquired on 1 July 1997. With this commitment, FALKE not only ensures its own supply of high-quality specialised yarns, but also expands LTW to be a specialised innovator in the development of yarns for the textile and clothing industry.
In 1997 and 1998, FALKE concentrates its sponsoring on the Williams Formula 1 team with Jacques Villeneuve and Heinz-Harald Frentzen as drivers. In 1997, Jacques Villeneuve wins the Formula 1 World Championship. Heinz-Harald Frentzen takes second place and the Williams team reaches 1st place in the World Constructors' Championship.
By now, 81 shop-in-shop systems have been implemented in Germany in cooperation with the trade industry. On an international level, FALKE presents its company's products in 20 shop-in-shop systems in the fashion centres of Europe. FALKE has opened its own flagship stores in the best locations in select fashion capitals: Berlin and Ascona.
FALKE Hosiery in Lippstadt and Franz Falke-Rohen Socks are merged under the FALKE KG umbrella brand and will operate thereafter as a clothing enterprise.
FALKE successfully markets itself as a full-range supplier of functional activewear. As a supplement to the existing range of sport socks, basics and second layers, FALKE Ergonomic Sport System offers a comprehensive product portfolio with items that coordinate perfectly with each other.
The FALKE ESS collection was presented the Best Running Clothing Award thanks to its perfect combination of high-tech functionality and innovative design.
FALKE – which was the only textile company to be nominated – received this award for its highly innovative athletic jumper for active sports on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Economics.
The FALKE Group purchases the Burlington brand, effective as of 1 April. With this strategic decision, FALKE has acquired the right to manufacture and distribute clothing, leather goods and jewellery in key international markets. Burlington will remain as an independent brand within the FALKE Group.
In Ascona, Switzerland, the FALKE Group opens another flagship store in a top location, which will represent the company's brand identity in the future.
The new factory in Leskovac starts production. Knitted legwear and fine hosiery are manufactured here for the global fashion market going forward.
FALKE opens its first store in German-speaking Switzerland in an exclusive location at Rennweg 2 in Zurich.
This winter is the first time FALKE has outfitted the German National Ski Teams Ski Alpine and Ski Cross with performance underwear and ski tights from FALKE Ergonomic Sport System.
This new type of activewear helps to optimise your running style and prevent health risks and injuries. In order to do so, silicone nubs up to four millimetres high stimulate the fasciae in our connective tissue.
Introducing the new support line for women's and men's legwear.

Wal-Mart Stores
Wal-Mart reclaimed the top spot in the Fortune 500 in 2012 after slipping to No. 2 last year. The retailer's refocus on low prices continued to attract frugal shoppers into the discounter's U.S. stores.
For fiscal year 2012, sales rose 5.9%, to $443.9 billion. Despite relatively strong sales, Wal-Mart must hold onto its U.S. shoppers, which make up 62% of the chain's net sales.
Beyond the U.S., Wal-Mart continues to investigate allegations that executives in Mexico paid more than $24 million in bribes to speed the retailer's expansion there. The probe has widened to Brazil, India and China.
