SG-1's Guide to Life, the Galaxy and All That Kind of Stuff...
 Probably more to come once I get the time to write...
1.
2. There are many differences between the Goa’uld and the Tok’ra – it’s just that ninety-nine per cent of the time they’re incredibly difficult to point out.
3. Do not drink the water on an alien planet as it is probably sentient – ditto for flying Christmas tree lights, Lego Technic spiders, funny blue crystals and weird-looking orb thingies.
4. Jaffa should not be referred to as “badge-heads”.
5. The geek always gets the girl.
6. If the girl is not a homicidal maniac she probably is or will be the host to a Goa’uld.
7. We Earthlings have very strong morals – however, offer us a tiny bit of technology and we’ll throw all of them out the window.
8.
9. The very young do not always do as they’re told – however, only SG-1 can get away without a court martial.
10. Americanisation is sweeping the galaxy at an alarming rate
12. “Okay” is a universal word.
13. “Kree” is a diverse word which may be used in practically every sentence, and generally is (at least among the Goa’uld).
14. It’s okay to kiss your 2IC, as long as you’re not caught in the act.
15. Never trust a scientist when he tells you the natives only want to be your friends.
16. It’s not a rock, it’s an artifact/sample/cool new piece of alien technology.
17. Never ask Sam why as she will answer with a stream of technobabble that will leave you baffled.
18. Never ask Daniel why as he will do likewise (only replace technobabble with any foreign language).
19. Never ask Jack why as he is probably asking the same question.
20.
21. Things are only really bad when Sam’s hair gets messed up.
22. When all else fails, a) call the president, b) send a bomb, c) run like hell.
23. Don’t panic, or at least not until you’ve reached the end of the episode neither Sam nor Daniel has come up with a miracle solution.
24.
25. Eighty-five per cent of the time, the natives are in trouble and you are obliged to help out, seeing as it’s you’re fault they’re in the mess in the first place.
26. Ten per cent of the time, the natives are not very nice and take you hostage.
27. For the other five per cent of the time the natives are already dead, and you are left to deal with some deadly legacy or another.
28. The truth is out there…
29. …in X-Files crossover fanfics, at least.
30. However much he looks like one, Thor is most certainly not a giant dim sim.
31. Don’t worry if you’re having little luck in gaining new technology – it’s when you meet a people who are actually willing to share their knowledge that you should be concerned.
32. The Asgard may be a higher form of intelligence, but when it comes to sarcasm they’re either too wise to respond, or totally ignorant.
33. A picture is worth a thousand words – or, in Teal’c’s case, an eyebrow.
34. The Tollan have incredibly advanced ion cannons and weapon-disabling technology – hell, they’ve even built their own Stargate – but they still don’t have cable TV.
35. When it comes to negotiations, make sure Colonel O’Neill is nowhere within a five mile radius.
36. The Goa’uld are evil as they deceive humans and establish themselves as gods, generally in more primitive societies – just don’t ask what that makes the Asgard.
37. Ascension may sound like a cool idea, but once you’ve been turned into a crappy glowy special effect you’ll probably have second thoughts.

I think the name is awesome as well. If the associated asset gets on an exchange we should come up with a ticker.. WARRR?
TwilightPunkster K6410-Mar-19 02:11 AM
on an exchange?
FishyGuts10-Mar-19 02:13 AM
$WAR - and the exchange is likely in game.
This is also only a DEMO for now. It would need much polish to be a full game.
TwilightPunkster K6410-Mar-19 02:14 AM
gee thanks xD
so much "polish"

looks better than most games that take months xD
also, working here without a design document xD

hah
well, I was hoping on voice tracks, but those never came but I just finished the code on the RTS camera movement
(basically when you move with your cursor to the screen edges it smoothly scrolls the camera along
kinda a crap thing to make, as a mouse pointer is 2D, and 3D is well errr 3D, so a raycast, conversion, an easing algo and calculating the screen width and height, plus acceleration
never the less... I am still partially human you know xD
Cryptofist10-Mar-19 02:21 AM
@TwilightPunkster K64 no, I had plans for most of the day. Pre-planned family activities. I'm able to sit down and start now.
I didn't mean polish from an art perspective, I meant from a story persopective.

In CouchDB, design documents provide the main interface for building a CouchDB application. The design document defines the views used to extract information from CouchDB through one or more views. Design documents are created within your CouchDB instance in the same way as you create database documents, but the content and definition of the documents is different. Design Documents are named using an ID defined with the design document URL path, and this URL can then be used to access the database contents.
Views and lists operate together to provide automated (and formatted) output from your database.
A list of the available methods and URL paths are provided below:
Design Document API Calls
Method: GET /db/_design/design-doc
Request: None
Response: JSON of the existing design document
Admin Privileges Required: no
Query Arguments:
Argument: rev
Argument: revs
Description: Return a list of the revisions for the document
Optional: yes
Type: boolean
Supported Values:
- true: Includes the revisions
Argument: revs_info
Returns the specified design document, design-doc from the specified db. For example, to retrieve the design document recipes you would send the following request:
GET http://couchdb:5984/recipes/_design/recipes
Content-Type: application/json
The returned string will be the JSON of the design document:
{
"_id" : "_design/recipes",
"_rev" : "5-39f56a392b86bbee57e2138921346406"
"language" : "javascript",
"views" : {
"by_recipe" : {
"map" : "function(doc) { if (doc.title != null) emit(doc.title, doc) }"
},
},
}
A list of the revisions can be obtained by using the revs query argument, or an extended list of revisions using the revs_info query argument. This operates in the same way as for other documents. Fur further examples, see GET /db/doc.
Upload the specified design document, design-doc, to the specified database. The design document should follow the definition of a design document, as summarised in the following table.
For more information on writing views, see GET /db/_design/design-doc/_view/view-name.
Delete an existing design document. Deleting a design document also deletes all of the associated view indexes, and recovers the corresponding space on disk for the indexes in question.
To delete, you must specify the current revision of the design document using the rev query argument.
For example:
DELETE http://couchdb:5984/recipes/_design/recipes?rev=2-ac58d589b37d01c00f45a4418c5a15a8
Content-Type: application/json
The response contains the delete document ID and revision:
{
"id" : "recipe/_design/recipes"
"ok" : true,
"rev" : "3-7a05370bff53186cb5d403f861aca154",
}
The COPY command (non-standard HTTP) copies an existing design document to a new or existing document.
The source design document is specified on the request line, with the Destination HTTP Header of the request specifying the target document.
To copy the latest version of a design document to a new document you specify the base document and target document:
COPY http://couchdb:5984/recipes/_design/recipes
Content-Type: application/json
Destination: /recipes/_design/recipelist
The above request copies the design document recipes to the new design document recipelist. The response is the ID and revision of the new document.
{
"id" : "recipes/_design/recipelist"
"rev" : "1-9c65296036141e575d32ba9c034dd3ee",
}
Note
Copying a design document does automatically reconstruct the view indexes. These will be recreated, as with other views, the first time the new view is accessed.
To copy from a specific version, use the rev argument to the query string:
COPY http://couchdb:5984/recipes/_design/recipes?rev=1-e23b9e942c19e9fb10ff1fde2e50e0f5
Content-Type: application/json
Destination: recipes/_design/recipelist
The new design document will be created using the specified revision of the source document.
To copy to an existing document, you must specify the current revision string for the target document, using the rev parameter to the Destination HTTP Header string. For example:
COPY http://couchdb:5984/recipes/_design/recipes
Content-Type: application/json
Destination: recipes/_design/recipelist?rev=1-9c65296036141e575d32ba9c034dd3ee
The return value will be the new revision of the copied document:
{
"id" : "recipes/_design/recipes"
"rev" : "2-55b6a1b251902a2c249b667dab1c6692",
}
Returns the file attachment attachment associated with the design document /_design_/design-doc. The raw data of the associated attachment is returned (just as if you were accessing a static file. The returned HTTP Content-type will be the same as the content type set when the document attachment was submitted into the database.
Upload the supplied content as an attachment to the specified design document (/_design/design-doc). The attachment name provided must be a URL encoded string. You must also supply either the rev query argument or the If-Match HTTP header for validation, and the HTTP headers (to set the attacment content type). The content type is used when the attachment is requested as the corresponding content-type in the returned document header.
For example, you could upload a simple text document using the following request:
PUT http://couchdb:5984/recipes/_design/recipes/view.css?rev=7-f7114d4d81124b223283f3e89eee043e
Content-Length: 39
Content-Type: text/plain
div.recipetitle {
font-weight: bold;
}
Or by using the If-Match HTTP header:
PUT http://couchdb:5984/recipes/FishStew/basic
If-Match: 7-f7114d4d81124b223283f3e89eee043e
Content-Length: 39
Content-Type: text/plain
div.recipetitle {
font-weight: bold;
}
The returned JSON contains the new document information:
{
"id" : "_design/recipes"
"ok" : true,
"rev" : "8-cb2b7d94eeac76782a02396ba70dfbf5",
}
Note
Uploading an attachment updates the corresponding document revision. Revisions are tracked for the parent document, not individual attachments.
Deletes the attachment attachment to the specified _design/design-doc. You must supply the rev argument with the current revision to delete the attachment.
For example to delete the attachment view.css from the design document recipes:
DELETE http://couchdb:5984/recipes/_design/recipes/view.css?rev=9-3db559f13a845c7751d407404cdeaa4a
The returned JSON contains the updated revision information for the parent document:
{
"id" : "_design/recipes"
"ok" : true,
"rev" : "10-f3b15bb408961f8dcc3d86c7d3b54c4c",
}
Obtains information about a given design document, including the index, index size and current status of the design document and associated index information.
For example, to get the information for the recipes design document:
GET http://couchdb:5984/recipes/_design/recipes/_info
Content-Type: application/json
This returns the following JSON structure:
{
"name" : "recipes"
"view_index" : {
"compact_running" : false,
"updater_running" : false,
"language" : "javascript",
"purge_seq" : 10,
"waiting_commit" : false,
"waiting_clients" : 0,
"signature" : "fc65594ee76087a3b8c726caf5b40687",
"update_seq" : 375031,
"disk_size" : 16491
},
}
The individual fields in the returned JSON structure are detailed below:
Executes the specified view-name from the specified design-doc design document.
The definition of a view within a design document also creates an index based on the key information defined within each view. The production and use of the index significantly increases the speed of access and searching or selecting documents from the view.
However, the index is not updated when new documents are added or modified in the database. Instead, the index is generated or updated, either when the view is first accessed, or when the view is accessed after a document has been updated. In each case, the index is updated before the view query is executed against the database.
View indexes are updated incrementally in the following situations:
View indexes are rebuilt entirely when the view definition changes. To achieve this, a ‘fingerprint’ of the view definition is created when the design document is updated. If the fingerprint changes, then the view indexes are entirely rebuilt. This ensures that changes to the view definitions are reflected in the view indexes.
Note
View index rebuilds occur when one view from the same the view group (i.e. all the views defined within a single a design document) has been determined as needing a rebuild. For example, if if you have a design document with different views, and you update the database, all three view indexes within the design document will be updated.
Because the view is updated when it has been queried, it can result in a delay in returned information when the view is accessed, especially if there are a large number of documents in the database and the view index does not exist. There are a number of ways to mitigate, but not completely eliminate, these issues. These include:
None of these can completely eliminate the need for the indexes to be rebuilt or updated when the view is accessed, but they may lessen the effects on end-users of the index update affecting the user experience.
Another alternative is to allow users to access a ‘stale’ version of the view index, rather than forcing the index to be updated and displaying the updated results. Using a stale view may not return the latest information, but will return the results of the view query using an existing version of the index.
For example, to access the existing stale view by_recipe in the recipes design document:
http://couchdb:5984/recipes/_design/recipes/_view/by_recipe?stale=ok
Accessing a stale view:
As an alternative, you use the update_after value to the stale parameter. This causes the view to be returned as a stale view, but for the update process to be triggered after the view information has been returned to the client.
In addition to using stale views, you can also make use of the update_seq query argument. Using this query argument generates the view information including the update sequence of the database from which the view was generated. The returned value can be compared this to the current update sequence exposed in the database information (returned by GET /db).
Each element within the returned array is sorted using native UTF-8 sorting according to the contents of the key portion of the emitted content. The basic order of output is as follows:
You can reverse the order of the returned view information by using the descending query value set to true. For example, Retrieving the list of recipes using the by_title (limited to 5 records) view:
{
"offset" : 0,
"rows" : [
{
"id" : "3-tiersalmonspinachandavocadoterrine",
"key" : "3-tier salmon, spinach and avocado terrine",
"value" : [
null,
"3-tier salmon, spinach and avocado terrine"
]
},
{
"id" : "Aberffrawcake",
"key" : "Aberffraw cake",
"value" : [
null,
"Aberffraw cake"
]
},
{
"id" : "Adukiandorangecasserole-microwave",
"key" : "Aduki and orange casserole - microwave",
"value" : [
null,
"Aduki and orange casserole - microwave"
]
},
{
"id" : "Aioli-garlicmayonnaise",
"key" : "Aioli - garlic mayonnaise",
"value" : [
null,
"Aioli - garlic mayonnaise"
]
},
{
"id" : "Alabamapeanutchicken",
"key" : "Alabama peanut chicken",
"value" : [
null,
"Alabama peanut chicken"
]
}
],
"total_rows" : 2667
}
Requesting the same in descending order will reverse the entire view content. For example the request
GET http://couchdb:5984/recipes/_design/recipes/_view/by_title?limit=5&descending=true
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Returns the last 5 records from the view:
{
"offset" : 0,
"rows" : [
{
"id" : "Zucchiniinagrodolcesweet-sourcourgettes",
"key" : "Zucchini in agrodolce (sweet-sour courgettes)",
"value" : [
null,
"Zucchini in agrodolce (sweet-sour courgettes)"
]
},
{
"id" : "Zingylemontart",
"key" : "Zingy lemon tart",
"value" : [
null,
"Zingy lemon tart"
]
},
{
"id" : "Zestyseafoodavocado",
"key" : "Zesty seafood avocado",
"value" : [
null,
"Zesty seafood avocado"
]
},
{
"id" : "Zabaglione",
"key" : "Zabaglione",
"value" : [
null,
"Zabaglione"
]
},
{
"id" : "Yogurtraita",
"key" : "Yogurt raita",
"value" : [
null,
"Yogurt raita"
]
}
],
"total_rows" : 2667
}
The sorting direction is applied before the filtering applied using the startkey and endkey query arguments. For example the following query:
GET http://couchdb:5984/recipes/_design/recipes/_view/by_ingredient?startkey=%22carrots%22&endkey=%22egg%22
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Will operate correctly when listing all the matching entries between “carrots” and egg. If the order of output is reversed with the descending query argument, the view request will return no entries:
GET http://couchdb:5984/recipes/_design/recipes/_view/by_ingredient?descending=true&startkey=%22carrots%22&endkey=%22egg%22
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
The returned result is empty:
{
"total_rows" : 26453,
"rows" : [],
"offset" : 21882
}
The results will be empty because the entries in the view are reversed before the key filter is applied, and therefore the endkey of “egg” will be seen before the startkey of “carrots”, resulting in an empty list.
Instead, you should reverse the values supplied to the startkey and endkey parameters to match the descending sorting applied to the keys. Changing the previous example to:
GET http://couchdb:5984/recipes/_design/recipes/_view/by_ingredient?descending=true&startkey=%22egg%22&endkey=%22carrots%22
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
The startkey and endkey query arguments can be used to specify the range of values to be displayed when querying the view.
TBC
TBC
Executes the specified view-name from the specified design-doc design document. Unlike the GET method for accessing views, the POST method supports the specification of explicit keys to be retrieved from the view results. The remainder of the POST view functionality is identical to the GET /db/_design/design-doc/_view/view-name API.
For example, the request below will return all the recipes where the key for the view matches either “claret” or “clear apple cider” :
POST http://couchdb:5984/recipes/_design/recipes/_view/by_ingredient
Content-Type: application/json
{
"keys" : [
"claret",
"clear apple juice"
]
}
The returned view data contains the standard view information, but only where the keys match.
{
"total_rows" : 26484,
"rows" : [
{
"value" : [
"Scotch collops"
],
"id" : "Scotchcollops",
"key" : "claret"
},
{
"value" : [
"Stand pie"
],
"id" : "Standpie",
"key" : "clear apple juice"
}
],
"offset" : 6324
}
By combining the POST method to a given view with the include_docs=true query argument you can obtain multiple documents from a database. The result is more efficient than using multiple GET /db/doc requests.
For example, sending the following request for ingredients matching “claret” and “clear apple juice”:
POST http://couchdb:5984/recipes/_design/recipes/_view/by_ingredient?include_docs=true
Content-Type: application/json
{
"keys" : [
"claret",
"clear apple juice"
]
}
Returns the full document for each recipe:

Once a government has decided on an open-source SDG NRP to use, the next step is to “fork” the code, which will result in a copy of the codebase for the country’s own use. This opens the door to later steps, which can include adding specific data and customizations to the platform to meet the country’s needs.

I note the obvious differences
in the human family.
some of us are serious,
some thrive on comedy.
some declare their lives are lived
as true profundity,
and others claim they really live
the real reality.
The variety of our skin tones
can confuse, bemuse, delight,
brown and pink and beige and purple,
tan and blue and white.
I've sailed upon the seven seas
and stopped in every land,
I've seen the wonders of the world
not yet one common man.
I know ten thousand women
called Jane and mary Jane,
but I've not seen any two
who really were the same.
Mirror twins are different
although their features jibe,
and lovers think quite different thoughts
while lying side by side.
We love and lose in China,
we weep on England's moors,
and laugh and moan in Guinea,
and thrive on spanish shores.
We seek success in Finland
are born and die in maine.
In minor ways we differ,
in major we're the same.
I note the obvious differences
between each sort and type,
but we are more alike, my friends,
than we are unalike.
We are more alike, my friends,
than we are unalike.
We are more alike, my friends,
than we are unalike.

(inspired by the Recurse Center social rules)
You have to be a technology whiz to work with digital collections metadata.
Liking to solve problems, learn and experiment is more important than any specific tech skill.
Being a cataloger and being a metadata specialist are two totally different jobs and skillsets.
If you’ve cataloged in MARC, you’re already familiar with one major metadata standard, and with concepts like authority control.
Information we create according to standards and best practices to “arrange, describe, track, and otherwise enhance access to information objects”

schema: a plan showing relationship between metadata elements, including semantics, syntax, and optionality. Also called element set, scheme.
crosswalk: a table that shows equivalent elements or fields in multiple schema, used to transform metadata from one schema to another, i.e. MARC to MODS, EAD to Dublin Core, etc.

Well, after my friends ditched me on new years eve I decided I needed to do something drastic to make myself feel better. My ritalin seemed to be a great choice since I was tired anyways. I had insufflated ritalin before and probably developed some tolerance so I knew I had to take a large dose to get it to work 'drastically' well. So at about 8:30pm I crushed up 4 10mg pills and after that I'm like eh I'll just take one orally too. I waited a few minutes and barely felt anything so I snorted one more.
I also have a prescription for two different doses of concerta (27mg and 36mg). I decided, since I don't need the lower dose anymore, to cut it in half and see if I could snort that too. Unfortunatly, since its extended time released it was all weird and I couldn't totally get the shell off. Instead I decided to put it in the sides of my mouth so that it would absorb into the mucus membrane of my gums which is how insufflation is suppose to work. The taste is pretty bitter, but I've snorted it before and kinda got used to the taste. Now, whether this method worked or not, I have no idea.
By now I started feeling good and I got really excited. Then I went outside and had a cigarette which felt amazing along with the euphoric feeling of the ritalin. On my way back to my room I took a sip of liquor in hopes to enhance my experience. I know that when I drink on ritalin, even if its just a little bit, it gives me double vision and I sometimes see spots or something.
However, when I got to my room I felt like the rush was lost and I became very nauseous. It seems that ritalin gives me this great immediate rush but then after like 15min. it becomes a dull stimulation. This really upset me because I was feeling sooooo good. I snorted one more pill and decided to listen to music to cheer myself up.
Right away I noticed that I heard the music in more detail, kinda like when I'm high. I heard sounds that I had never heard in the song before. I was really suprised that this could happen from just taking a stimulant. It was really enjoyable, especially listening to 'Bring the Pain' by MSI.
 As I listened to the music I thought I heard foot steps coming up stairs which alarmed me because I didn't want my parents catching me reading this website. However, because I can think clearly its easy to realize that I'm just imagining things. Although, later when my dad actually did enter the room I jumped and felt this sharp shock. It was just like if someone were to like grab me when I wasn't looking, except that it was alot more severe.
So my dad had come to pick me up to bring me to this party that my parents were at :P ugh. Seeing a human actually brought me up from my dull state though and I could tell I was very excited because of the ritalin. I think, because ritalin makes me talkative, that socializing is essential to keep me happy during my trip.
[Erowid Note: Driving while intoxicated or tripping is dangerous and irresponsible because it endangers other people. Don't do it!]
Well, I was really glad that my dad let me drive (I have a permit) to test how well this drug would affect me. I think that the ritalin actually made me drive a little faster without noticing. My dad kept telling me to slow down but I felt like I was really going the speed limit. And I actually parallel parked perfectly!
As I got to the party I noticed that I just wanted to blurt out everything on my mind. While other people were talking to me I became really impatient because I wanted to tell my whole life story. I generally felt good when I kept my mind off of the reason why I was stuck there on new years eve.
Of course there was wine and of course I had some but I felt like it depressed me more. I really wanted to go back home quick to snort another pill. I even asked my mom if I could go back to the house to take ritalin because I was tired, though she refused to let me. She says I shouldn't being using that drug for purposes of keeping you awake. HAH if only she knew.
Next on my mind was finding another stimulant. I REALLY really wanted a cigarette but I didn't bring them. It's really strange because I don't normally smoke but lately I had been wanting to smoke. It's weird. Luckly, coffee was being made but it made no difference in my mood when I drank it.
At about 10:30 I started feeling a little bit more jittery. The most prominent side effect I've found was that my mouth was dry and that I couldn't stop moving it. I was either biting down or moving my lips and tongue to the side as if there was something in my teeth. Also, if I held my teeth narrowly apart they would chatter as if I was cold. I'm pretty used to shakeyness from medications I've been on so I didn't notice I was shaking until I held my coffee cup. I think the shakeyness was more from the coffee though. I've noticed that when I take ritalin I don't really shake, it's more like feeling tense.
So throughout the party I remained slightly euphoric and generally happy and talkative. When I would think about depressing things I felt terrible. This feeling quickly subsides if I set my mind in a different direction.
Now I am home. As I left the party, around 1am, I already felt myself coming down. I've heard that any amphetamine crashing is the worst. Right now I still feel kinda euphoric and music still has a slight enhanced effect. My vision though seems to be way off and really blurry. I know that I won't be sleeping for awhile after all the ritalin + caffeine. I feel nauseous too.
Here I will list all the effects I felt from this experience:
- nausea
- decreased appetite (basically mine was extinguished, I didn't eat the whole night, even when I tried it was impossible)
- mild to moderate euphoria
- excitability
- stuttered speech (I felt like I had trouble pronouncing some words and they came out kinda slurred)
- aggitation/impatience
- mild paranoia (but controllable)
- talkativeness
- auditory enhancement, maybe even auditory hallucinations
- altered vision/dialated pupils (my eyes took longer to adjust to light changes, like if someone takes a flash picture and you see that spot afterwards, it lasts longer than normal)
- blurred vision
- double vision
- dry mouth
- thirst
- odd twitching (especially my mouth)
- tense muscles
- increased body heat
- general feelings of well-being (I felt very comfortable with myself)
- dreading the crash/craving more methylphenidate

In v6 I dropped moment as a required library since it is no longer recommended. Almost all of the functions in the picker make use of my custom DateTime class which extends the native Date object. You can read more about it on my blog.
Because I am simply extending the native date object, any returned values will still behave like a date object. Which means you don't need to adpot using DateTime in your project unless you want to. Once less library to worry about!

Welcome To The Black Parade In The Style Of Avenged Sevenfold
Listen to My Chemical Romance’s Welcome The Black Parade in the style of metal heavyweights Avenged Sevenfold
Internet music innovator Ten Second Song Guy (aka Anthony Vincent) has turned his hand to My Chemical Romance’s megahit Welcome To The Black Parade.
This isn’t the first time Anthony has reimagined the expansive theatricality of MCR’s genre-defining moment – he performed it as Queen earlier this year – but now Welcome To The Black Parade has been given a metallic makeover in the form of Avenged Sevenfold.
READ THIS: Every song on The Black Parade ranked from worst to best
Enlisting guitarist Cole Rolland (who nails Synyster Gates’ tone and style), the pair channel the power of Avenged’s breakthrough album City Of Evil into the song that sent the emo movement stratospheric. We have to admit, Anthony’s M. Shadows impersonation is really impressive.
Check it out for yourself.
Anthony has been busy recreating songs lately. In the past two months he’s performed Psychosocial in the style of Linkin Park and Welcome The Jungle in the style of Rammstein.
It makes sense that he’s chosen to do My Chemical Romance now, though. In case you’ve been living under the largest rock on the planet, they announced their reunion on Halloween of this year, and have a number of shows lined up for next year already including Download Festivals in Australia and Japan.
Sadly, there is no word about Avenged Sevenfold joining them onstage.


Timeline:
dosing 2 pm – 5 pm spread out evenly over this time frame.
sleep at 12 am
I was prescribed lorazepam (Ativan) by my psychiatrist to use in quelling incipient rages. I was not instructed to take it daily but rather as needed. Being in a depressed world weary though not specifically suicidal state and without other drugs handy and curious on the effects of higher dose lorazepam I self administered greater than the recommended dose of 0.5 mg. The preparation was sublingual so not an *HCl salt. Having used one 0.5 mg tab in its intended way, beded beneath the tongue, I proceeded to insuflate the remaining 5.0 mg over the course of 2 to 3 (or possibly 4) hours.
Insulfation of lorazepam entailed little or no pain for me. Maybe it has something of a local anesthetic effect? Sandwiched each tab between two index cards and ground it agianst the table with a coffee mug. This prevented loss of the material while it was being pulverized. Insuflated through the traditional ten dollar bill. Cotton based currency paper seems to roll into a tube more facilely than an index card.
Did not feel a rush of pleasure like amphetamine or even espresso after each snorted dose, rather it was like a wave of instant inebriation. Waves of drunkeness. However, I felt remarkably clear minded, just calmer and slower than usual through out the experience. It seemed as if the whole world moved slower.
Midway through (around 2.0 mg) I went for a drive to test my impairment.
[Erowid Note: Driving while intoxicated or tripping is dangerous and irresponsible because it endangers other people. Don't do it!]
I live in a quite rural area and it was a week day so did not expect or find much traffic. I had no problem with staying on the road but my interpretation of spatial depth was lessened. In this vein rounding a turn I came upon a white pickup in front driving slower and breaked late which resulted in coming too near his rear end for his comfort but no collision.
Around this point I noticed moderate ataxia navigating stairs but was not visibly intoxicated to other inhabitants of the house.
Around 2.5 mg to 3.0 mg inspection in mirror showed involuntary drooping of eyelids.
I was physiologically and functionally quite impaired at this point. But did not feel it mentally. Felt clear and calm and distant from the world. There was a maybe a little visual grainyness or visual lassitude at this point but things seemed clear and controlled for the most part. Being frustrated at the lack of experience I consumed more.
The bottle was empty by 5.5 mg. Did not feel sleepy. Things seemed alright, cool, chill, warmly dark, langorously slow, etc. Drove to my mothers house for dinner not realizing how out of it I was. Again depth fault caused me to park my car in driveway retaining wall rather than in front of.
She noticed drooping lids, and she thought it was strange how I was discussing a comic in the paper. I had trouble formulating a cover in my truth serumed condition. It came out.
Paramedics escorted to hospital in ambulance. Blood oxygenation at 77%. Suplemental oxygen corrected deficit. I was subject to the usual overdosage/possible suicide attempt procedures. Was released in a day. No antagonist was adiministered. Sinus arrythmia was observed. I do not know the seriousness of this.
On the whole this was a very enlightening experience for me. Something clicked with this and an extreme alcohol binge a day latter which energized my life batteries for several months. A rapid onset long lasting antidepressant effect. Perhaps the psychology of somewhat near death, perhaps NMDA swings. Not recommended though. No nausea. No uncontrollable urge to sleep No physical and minimal emotionally discomfort. Strangely I remember the conscious part (except for a urine sample) quite well but had hyper-real dreams while asleep that I do not remember. Unfortunately it was traumatic for my family.

Home > JavaScript Questions > Explain the role of deferred scripts in JavaScript
The defer attribute is a boolean attribute. When present, it specifies that the script is executed when the page has finished parsing.
As the document parser goes through the page, this is what occurs -
The defer attribute tells the browser to only execute the script file once the HTML document has been fully parsed.
The file can be downloaded while the HTML document is still parsing. However, even if the file is fully downloaded long before the document is finished parsing, the script is not executed until the parsing is complete.
By default, the parsing of the HTML code, during page loading, is paused until the script has not stopped executing. It means, if the server is slow or the script is particularly heavy, then the webpage is displayed with a delay. While using Deferred, scripts delays execution of the script till the time HTML parser is running. This reduces the loading time of web pages and they get displayed faster.
Syntax:

Example:


Not to be confused with Java, JavaScript is primarily a client-side scripting language used for front-end development. JavaScript is compatible across all browsers and is used to create interactive web apps, often through libraries such as jQuery and front-end frameworks such as AngularJS, Ember.js, React, and more.
JavaScript can also be used as a server-side language through the Node.js platform. Two years ago, Node.js was still quite young, but its community has grown a lot since then, and you can now find many resources here. You can also build hybrid mobile apps with JavaScript through using frameworks such as phonegap, while Facebook’s React Native allows you to build native mobile apps with JavaScript.
However, JavaScript is also known as a difficult language because it is untyped and, thus, difficult to debug. There are statically typed versions, such as Microsoft's TypeScript or the JSX, that React uses.
Ruby was developed so developers can have fun and be productive at the same time. Ruby was made popular by the Ruby on Rails framework, a full-stack web framework optimized for programming happiness. As Ruby reads like English and Rails has tools that make common development tasks easier “out-of-the-box”, many would recommend learning Ruby as your first programming language.
Ruby is mostly used for back-end development, and popular sites such as Airbnb, Shopify, Bloomberg, Hulu, Slideshare, and more, were all built with Ruby on Rails.
Python is another highly recommended language for beginners, and is the most popular introductory language at Top U.S. Universities.
Developers have used Python to build desktop apps and web apps alike, and it has great tools for data mining. In addition, Python is particularly popular in academic communities for scientific computing, data analysis, and bioinformatics.
Google, Dropbox, Pinterest, Instagram, Reddit, BitTorrent, Civilization IV, and more, were built with Python.
PHP is a server-side scripting language and is usually considered beginner-friendly. It’s easy to conceptualize what the PHP code will do, which makes it easy to pick up. Most websites have been built with PHP because the language is heavily specialized for the web.
Facebook, Wikipedia, Yahoo!, Tumblr, Wordpress, and more, were built with PHP.
C# is used for web development, game development, and general Microsoft development. Although Microsoft has not been known for being cross-platform compatible in the past, Xamarin has been working on an open-source project called Mono, which aims to port C# to other platforms and bring better development tools to Linux developers. Recently, you can also use C# to build native mobile apps for iOS and Android through Xamarin.


This type of back pain is sometimes accompanied by fever and/or pain and difficulty urinating. Also, pain is more likely to occur on the sides of the back and in the abdomen than exclusively in the center of the lower back (see Figure 13).
It is important that you seek medical evaluation and treatment for this type of back pain as soon as possible. It may be caused by a kidney stone, which often requires medical intervention for removal. Also, if there is a kidney infection, antibiotics are required. (See Tip 130 for more information on evaluation and treatment of urinary tract infections. Also, see Appendix C, for information on preventive kidney screenings.)
Sudden agonizing back pain can be the result of a softening of the bones and a vertebral fracture. Weak bones are more susceptible to fractures and collapse.
Osteoporosis (a loss of bone mass and softening of the bones) develops gradually and usually without symptoms. It often begins in older women after menopause, since the ovaries produce less estrogen, causing the bones to lose more calcium. All postmenopausal women should be evaluated for osteoporosis. Keep in mind, however, that it can also begin earlier in life, especially in patients with lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and/or those who are taking steroids. It is more common in people who are small in size, are not physically active, are Caucasian or Asian, and who smoke. The early diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis is an important preventative measure. Vitamin D and calcium supplements can often be very helpful if taken in the proper doses. (See Appendix C, page 384, for more about bone density screening.)
Bones that bear weight, such as the vertebrae of the spine, are the first to experience a change from the softening, which is why older people tend to lose height. If a vertebra collapses in what is called a compression fracture, it can produce agonizing pain. Confinement to bed, often resulting from fractures of the spine, hips, and legs, is the enemy of senior citizens, as it may lead to an early death from blood clots or lung infections. Lying still creates an environment where blood is more stagnant and more likely to clot, so doctors often recommend that elder patients with fractures use a brace so that they can get out of bed and move around, rather than being sedentary.
Ideally, seniors should attempt to avoid fractures in the first place. New treatment options are available to increase the thickness (mass) of the bones and thus strengthen them. This preventive therapy may be appropriate for those with osteoporosis and vitamin D deficiency. However, the side effects and costs of the treatment must be considered before starting it. If you have osteoporosis, you should discuss the pros and cons of this therapy with your physician.
At first the symptoms may seem mild: some redness around a cut on your leg (which only appears to be a minor infection), pain during urination, and/or a chest cold that just seems to get worse. Afterward you develop a major symptom: an overwhelming and agonizingly severe pain in your lower back and legs. The pain is so severe that you don’t mention your earlier symptoms when you visit your doctor—they seem so minor in comparison. The doctor can easily assume your back pain is being caused by a run-of-the-mill muscle strain or lumbar disk disease and may make the wrong diagnosis. This error could have dire consequences.
Though it happens rarely, minor infections can spread rapidly through the bloodstream to locations throughout the body. Fever and severe back pain, frequently accompanied by leg pain, may be the signal that this has happened. Sometimes if a massive infection has overwhelmed the body’s defense mechanism, there will be no fever. It is crucial that the victim is immediately treated by a doctor, with life-saving intravenous antibiotics.
An important message here is that you should always carefully report all of your symptoms to the doctor, even if they seem minor.
Note: Sometimes a minor infection will not spread throughout the body but will advance into a serious pocket of pus, called an abscess, which often needs to be drained by a surgeon. (For an example of this, see Tip 119.)

Blueprint leverages HTML attibutes to help namespace layout based CSS. Attributes allow consise layout names and allows us
to easily understand the layout of our views. The attibute prefix
bp-
can be removed or configured by the Sass source. Columns automatically evenly fill space in each flex row. The grid is
a 12 column grid.
Responsive column classes are available. Column breakpoints are adjustable using the Sass varaibles or alterning the CSS output. All columns are nestable. We denote classes with responsive suffixes. Blueprint CSS follows BEM like patterns and Googles Material Design layout recomendations.

filmcritic.com presents a review from staff member James Brundage. You can find the review with full credits at http://www.filmcritic.com/misc/emporium.nsf/2a460f93626cd4678625624c007f2b46/2743c048aa1b0e67882568b80010c594?OpenDocument
Spring Forward (2000, NR)
Written and Directed by Tom Gilroy
Produced by Jim Mackay, Gill Holland, Paul Mezey, Tom Gilroy
Starring Liev Schreiber, Ned Beatty, Peri Gilpin, Campbell Scott
As Reviewed by James Brundage
People will compare it to My Dinner with Andre. They will inevitably be wrong. People will assume that it has something to do with Daylight Savings Time. They, too, will be wrong. People will assume that just because Michael Stipe executive produced this film, it will end up seeming like Being John Malkovich. They, too, will be wrong. In point of fact Spring Forward is that rare gem, a film with no brothers or sisters to deal with, no son to look down upon or father to look up to. In the family tree of American cinema, the most Spring Forward can have are a few distant cousins.
So what is Spring Forward? Simply put, Spring Forward is unique. It is not unique in the sense of Being John Malkovich or Spectres of the Spectrum (a uniqueness tainted with the surreal), but instead unique in the point of fact that it a movie that has no plot, that has no centralized point or purpose… that has nothing but characters. The characters are Murph (Ned Beatty, switching back into his serious, pre-Naked Gun days) and Paul (Schreiber), two city parks department workers in Connecticut who spend one year talking while on the job.
The film starts in Spring, when Paul starts his first job after getting out of prison. It ends a year later, when Murph leaves his job for retirement. Paul is a bookworm. Murph has common sense. Paul is philosophical. Murph is practical. The two characters are in almost every single way opposed to each other, except for the fact that they are both incredibly charismatic. This mutual charisma incites Paul and Murph to form a sort of paternal bond, and for the rest of the movie, with sit in quiet contention and complete fascination as we listen to some of the most brilliant conversation ever captured on screen.
Writer-director Tom Gilroy, an actor himself, created a true actor's haven. He unleashed Schreiber and Beatty not only on the audiences, but on each other, and the result is the kind of completely natural interaction that you run across in real life. The dialogue is sharp, the direction on-target. But that is not what makes Spring Forward incredible.
As a film, what makes Spring Forward so absolutely incredible is its ability to challenge the audience. As I sit and think about the one small problem that Spring Forward has, pacing (if the characters are ever silent, you begin to glance at your watch), I realize that the fate of Spring Forward is not in it's stars, or its director or producers, but in ourselves. Spring Forward is a movie that, having no narrative, lives entirely in the gray. When you perceive Spring Forward as slow, you lose sight of the fact that, in order for a movie to be either slow or fast, it must be moving in the first place. Spring Forward does not move. Spring Forward does not progress. Spring Forward simply is.
And, provided you can let go of conventional thought long enough to enjoy Spring Forward's just being there, Spring Forward simply is worth every second you spend in the theatre.

Converts a single-precision floating-point value in the “convert-from” source operand to a double-precision floating-point value in the destination operand. When the “convert-from” source operand is an XMM register, the single-precision floating-point value is contained in the low doubleword of the register. The result is stored in the low quadword of the destination operand.
128-bit Legacy SSE version: The “convert-from” source operand (the second operand) is an XMM register or memory location. Bits (MAXVL-1:64) of the corresponding destination register remain unchanged. The destination operand is an XMM register.
VEX.128 and EVEX encoded versions: The “convert-from” source operand (the third operand) can be an XMM register or a 32-bit memory location. The first source and destination operands are XMM registers. Bits (127:64) of the XMM register destination are copied from the corresponding bits in the first source operand. Bits (MAXVL-1:128) of the destination register are zeroed.
Software should ensure VCVTSS2SD is encoded with VEX.L=0. Encoding VCVTSS2SD with VEX.L=1 may encounter unpredictable behavior across different processor generations.

There was chaos at a Hwange hospital when a se_x starved man accused his sick wife of overstaying in hospital and attempted to kidnap her so that they could be intimate.
According to the Sunday News, Tinos Muzamba (23) of Bhangali Village, the s_ex starved man, was peeved that his sick wife had been away from home for long and accused her of overstaying in the hospital. He lashed out at her accusing her of being insensitive to his conjugal needs as he had been unable to have se_x since she was admitted in the hospital. It was not disclosed what the wife was suffering from or how long she had been admitted in hospital.
The medical personnel at St Patrick’s Hospital tried to reason with Muzamba but it was to no avail as he tried to discharge his wife himself. Muzamba was so incensed that he had to be forcibly restrained and subdued by security personnel at the hospital.
But even after being subdued he started shouting out threats and obscenities at his wife telling her that he would murder her when she returned home. He accused her of listening to the doctors while ignoring his wishes.
Muzamba was charged with Domestic Violence Act (physical abuse) for threatening his wife with death. When he appeared before Hwange provincial magistrate Mr Gift Ntando Dube last week, Muzamba readily pleaded guilty to the charge. In mitigation, he claimed that he was se_x starved. Magistrate Dube remanded Muzamba in custody awaiting sentencing.
Muzamba is also facing 17 counts of unlawful entry and theft. The magistrate said that those matters will go trial after his current trial is done.
