100% Music

Cedric14 — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 01:27:43 CDT

Today I'll bring to you some music that you might have not discovered yet. One of the groups/bands I want you to discover today is 'Story Of The Year' who were on the OST(original sound track) of One Tree Hill, a t.v serial with an acoustic version of their nice song 'Sidewalks'.

Story of the Year (a.k.a. Story or SOTY) is a band that was originally formed in St. Louis in 1995. Initially named Big Blue Monkey, they changed their name in 2002 to Story of the Year because a blues group had already taken the name Blue Monkey. So far, Story of the Year has released two full-length studio albums and their third release is due out in 2007.

Page Avenue-era (2002-2004)

After spending 7 years as a local band, recording demos and three EPs, Story of the Year signed a deal with Maverick Records in 2002, then recorded and released their first album, Page Avenue, in September 2003. The first single from that album was "Until The Day I Die", written by singer Dan Marsala. It first received radio airplay around July/August 2003 on stations like KROQ and sold thousands of copies worldwide.[citation needed] The second single "Anthem of Our Dying Day" featured a music video directed by Mr. Hahn of Linkin Park. Page Avenue has now sold over 500,000 copies worldwide. The single "And the Hero Will Drown" was featured on the soundtrack to the multi-format game Need for Speed: Underground. The band toured with Linkin Park on the Meteora World Tour in 2004 along with P.O.D. and Hoobastank. They were also on the Vans Warped Tour, and featured in the Vans Warped Tour documentary, Wake Up Screaming, and at KROQ's Weenie Roast on June 12 that same year.
Until the day I die was their first single which peaked at 13th position in US Charts.

Sidewalks featured in One Tree Hill for the season 2002-2004. On the 2nd volume album.

It's been a long time I didn't write in this site called Wet Paint:P. I'm bringing to u a lot of new hot stuff! Right now I am supposed to do some homework but anyway parents are not at home lol.
Ok Hot new Kelly Clarkson music.

Kelly Clarkson :comes back with a new single(which is damn hot), 'Never Again' which is the first single that is out from her new album 'My December' which will come out this summer 2007!

Football Mania!!!

GimmeMyMoney — Sat, 02 Jun 2007 01:01:45 CDT

A lot of things happen in football daily. This is a place to write down about all those things and is a window to the other sub pages.

MONTHS of behind the scenes wheeler-dealing came to a head in just 15 hours when United announced the capture of Anderson, Nani and Owen Hargreaves.

M.E.N. Sport has taken a look at what United can expect for their £50m outlay and the prospects for United fans look mouthwatering.

NANI

THE shirt letterers at Old Trafford next season will be able to retire if two of United's new signings become instant hits.

Following Anderson Luis de Abreu Oliveira to the 'Theatre of Dreams' is Luis Carlos Almeida da Cunha, otherwise known as Nani. Almost 18 months older than the Brazilian, Nani has spent his entire, albeit brief career, in Portugal.

Born on November 17, 1986 in Amadora, he first kicked a ball with Real de Massama, a minor league club in Sintra on the outskirts of Lisbon.

The next step was either Benfica or Sporting Lisbon and he chose to wear the green and white of the 2005 UEFA Cup runners-up. An attacking left side midfielder, he is seen as potentially a successor to Ryan Giggs.

And if Nani is half as successful as two other former Sporting wingers - Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Figo - then he should be some player. Indeed, there have been comparisons with Ronaldo. Adept on either wing, his assets are said to be his speed, trickery and the scoring of spectacular goals.

Given his first team debut at the age of 18, he is a fully fledged Portuguese international. Indeed, Nani was voted man of the match on his debut against Denmark.

He now has five caps and one goal. However Fergie may order him to cut-out his trademark backflip goal celebrations to protect his new asset.

Serie A champions Inter Milan were believed to be rival suitors for the youngster. This prompted Sporting president Soares Franco to insist Nani was not for sale.

He installed a reported buy out clause of 25 million euro into a new three-year contract.

He wore 18 for Sporting but is unlikely to take Paul Scholes' number just yet.

ANDERSON Brazilian wonderkid with thefull name of Anderson Luis de Abreu Oliveira.

And while Sir Alex Ferguson failed to prevent Ronaldinho joining Barcelona from Paris St Germain, he may just have bought the heir apparent to Brazil's number one superstar.

There are certainly plenty of similarities between the two South Americans.

Both were born in the city of Porto Alegre and both first made an impression with the Gremio club.

Ronaldinho eventually left for France and Anderson followed him to Europe to join Portuguese greats, FC Porto.

And while Ronaldinho twice went on to become FIFA World Player of the Year, his 19-year-old compatriot was voted Player of the Tournament at the FIFA Under-17 World Cup in 2005.

After a semi-final man-of-the- match display against Holland, he lasted only 15 minutes of the Under 17 final before being carried off on a stretcher.

Mexico, who clearly knew Brazil's dangerman, won the game 3-0.

Just for good measure Anderson and Ronaldinho are both left side attacking midfielders-cum-strikers.

It may be early to make these comparisons but Anderson is poised to follow Ronaldinho into the Brazilian national side.

He has already been called up for the forthcoming Copa America game in Venezuela though won't feature for the former World Cup winners against England at Wembley.

Anderson signed for Porto in December 2005 after helping Gremio back into the top tier of Brazilian football.

His goal beat Nautico 1-0 to gain promotion, a match that saw FOUR Gremio players sent-off.

In September 2006 he made his Champions League debut against CSKA Moscow and also played against Arsenal.

Anderson leaves Porto on a high after helping Jose Mourinho's former club to a Portuguese Superliga and Cup double.

HARGREAVES

Owen Hargreaves is coming home, albeit to a home where he never lived! Much has been made of Hargreaves' Bolton roots when, in fact, he's the only member of the family not born in the UK.

His mother Margaret was born in Wales. So too was his eldest brother Darren.

Dad Colin and other sibling Neil are of Lancashire stock while Owen was born in Calgary, Canada on January 20, 1981.

Colin played for Bolton's youth team before his work took him to North America, initially to Toronto and then to Calgary.

Wanderers wanted to sign Darren, a promising teenage striker who represented Canada at youth level, only for injury to wreck his pro career.

So, it was that basketball playing Owen became the footballing star of the family.

He was recommended to Bayern Munich and at the age of 15 flew to Germany for trials. Cologne and Bayer Leverkusen were also interested but never got a look in. Bayern liked what they saw and signed him in the summer of 1997.

With his multi-national up-bringing and German residency, Hargreaves had the pick of countries to represent internationally.

He chose England and Howard Wilkinson gave him a first England Under-21 cap in August 2000.

Almost 12 months later he made his full debut against Holland and in doing so he became the first England international neither to have lived in England nor to have played club football there.

He made a Bundesliga debut for Bayern in August 2000 and the same season achieved a Champions League triumph over Real Madrid. He and Steve McManaman remain the only two Englishmen to have won a Champions League medal with a non-English side.

Domestic honours followed with Munich but so did some unfortunate injuries, including a broken leg last year.

Hargreaves' selection by England for the 2006 World Cup in Germany wasn't greeted with universal approval.

But he won over the notorious fans to become England's player of the tournament. He was also voted England's player of 2006.

***********************

Fergie's tactics finally flounder

IT may have counted for nothing in the end, but for 116 minutes of this tense and often turgid final Sir Alex Ferguson (pictured)must have been congratulating himself on his tactics.
Ferguson'steam selection had effectively dulled Chelsea's attacking edge and played on the weaknesses in Jose Mourinho's line-up.
As a result, Manchester United enjoyed overall control and the bulk of the opportunities, even if these failed to translate to goals.
Chelsea counted on keeping it tight and relying on Didier Drogba to snatch victory and the history books will show that, as so often, such an approach paid off.
Defeat would have been doubly painful for United as they had the chances to end this contest way before extra-time.
With Wayne Rooney as a single striker, United were able to by-pass John Terry, who often found himself without a player to mark, and put pressure on makeshift defender Michael Essien.
Furthermore, Ferguson's decision to play Gabriel Heinze instead of Patrice Evra at left-back thwarted Chelsea's favoured tactic of trying to push Drogba to the far post to be up against a full-back.
With Wes Brown at right-back, it meant United had four defenders all of whom are good enough in the air to play in central defence.
Indeed, the final was less than two minutes old when Wayne Bridge delivered a far-post cross for Drogba and Heinze to fight over.
Drogba won the contest this time but Heinze did enough to ensure the Ivory Coast striker did not make firm contact and the ball lofted over the crossbar.
Both teams had begun cautiously, playing the ball across the back and it was slightly bizarre that United began to unsettle Chelsea using Mourinho-like tactics.

Essien
Long-balls aimed at the areas patrolled by Essien and Paulo Ferreira twice broke kindly for United.
Firstly, Darren Fletcher took advantage of panic in the Chelsea ranks to head into Rooney's path, who fired wide but was just offside in any case.
Then Essien's feeble header dropped to Rooney who did the right thing by attempting an early first-time effort to catch out Petr Cech but the execution did not match the intention.
Chelsea's lack of adventure was perhaps predictable, and they relied mainly on Drogba - who had the sort of physical battle with Nemanja Vidic that would not have looked out of place in 1957 - Joe Cole and set-pieces to provide attacking threat.
Another long-ball led to another United opening and had the offside Rooney left the ball to Ronaldo, the Portuguese winger would have had a clear run on goal.
Chelsea continued the upside-down theme - Cole not Ronaldo doing the step-overs, Drogba not Rooney doing the fancy footwork, and created a couple of half-chances for Frank Lampard (saved) and Shaun Wright-Phillips (skied).
United's new long-ball merchants kept at it: Paul Scholes from the halfway line to Ronaldo who won possession of the ball as Ferreira flapped, only to drive it into the side-netting.
Arjen Robben's appearance at half-time for Cole brought a comparative urgency to the match but still United looked the more likely to break through.
Rooney's direct running threatened on several occasions without leading to anything clear-cut, while Scholes brought a variety to the midfield that was lacking in his successor in the England side, Lampard.
It was from a diagonal, lofted ball by Scholes that left Essien scrambling to cover that proved United's best chance in normal time. It fell just where Giggs would have wanted it but his left-foot volley was a yard too high.
There was one final long Scholes ball in injury, one more nervous fluff and Rooney was in like a flash. So too was Cech though and penalties beckoned.
Then came Drogba, a brilliant one-two with Lampard followed by his 33rd goal of the season and 116 minutes of tactical victory suddenly counted for nothing.

Giggs bemoans goal that wasn't

MANCHESTER United captain Ryan Giggs claimed the Red Devils were denied a perfectly good goal in today's FA Cup final defeat to Chelsea.
The sides were still locked together when Giggs slid into Wayne Rooney's low cross in the first half of extra-time.
TV replays indicated that while Chelsea keeper Petr Cech made the initial save, he took the ball over the line as Giggs' momentum saw the pair collide.
Giggs appealed in vain to referee Steve Bennett but with the linesman ruling the ball had not crossed the line the official waved play on.
Cech got hold of the ball but then slid over the line with it.
"We both knew it was over the line," said Giggs.

Linesman
"I spoke to the referee and said 'You saw it go over and the linesman saw it go over'."
As there never looked like being more than one goal to seperate the sides, it proved to be a pivotal moment and one which, thanks to Didier Drogba’s late strike, ensured Giggs missed out on becoming only the fourth player in history to win five FA Cups.
“Games like this are usually decided by one goal and that was the case today,” the Welshman added.
“If we had got that goal we might well have gone on to win the game.
“But the consolation is that we won the Premiership, we are improving team and we can look forward to next season with confidence.”

Manchester United V/s AC Milan

Largely higher in Manchester (3-0), Milan AC was qualified for the final of C1. Guided by magic Seedorf and imperceptible Kakà, Rossoneri extinguished the European dreams of the men of Sir Alex Ferguson. May 23, Lombards will find Liverpool, their torturer of 2005.

MILAN AC - MANCHESTER UNITED: 3-0 (To go: 2-3)
Goals: Kakà (11th), Seedorf (30e) and Gilardino (78e)Gennaro Gattuso is a man of word. At the hour to face Manchester United in League of the Champions, the Milanese barker had promised in all Italy to avenge the ACE Roma, severely punished in Old Trafford (7-1) at the time of the preceding turn. Finally, and thanks to a rather profitable initial ground visit mancunienne (demolished 3-2), the international transalpine one will have held its promise. Wounded with the outward journey, the nasty piece of work Milanese defensive medium will have been one of the principal craftsmen of the victory as of his in San Siro (3-0). One of the craftsmen... only. Because the former player of Salernitana is not kind to level the gallery with technical epic. Faithful to its grinta legendary, small number 8 rossoneri is rather there to exhort crowd and to put the hands in dirty oil. History to leave with others the care to make the spectacle. With such a player in his rows, Milan AC, revanchist this season in particular with a Series A 2006/2007 below its standing, filled the contract. And how... Haloed of a statute of potential favourite these last weeks, Manchester, however equipped well better than its Milanese counterpart attacks some, was tiny room with silence. Cristiano Ronaldo Balloon of Gold 2007 in power? International Portuguese multiplied the bad choice. Worse, incompetent to overflow a Milanese defense certainly private of Maldini but equipped with Nesta again intractable, the wonder mancunien stigmatized with him only the impotence as of his to raise their level of play. To say that DRIVEN disappointed would not be that to summarize the tendency of the meeting partly. Actually, Milan AC of Carlo Ancelotti was more extremely, the most extremely this evening on the lawn of San Siro.The nightmare of VidicA tactical superiority and technique which Rossoneri quickly posted. Too much quickly probably for English who, during nearly one hour of play, could claim to play... the house. The torentielle rain which fell down on the Milanese city could have obstructed the local managers of balloon. But it was without counting on the feet of extraterrestrial of Seedorf and Kakà. The two best players of Milan this year once again were with go. It is the second, on a subtle air handing-over of the first, which makes put a knee at ground in Manchester (1-0, 11th). Or In Nemanja Vidic. The Serb defender of DRIVEN, of return of wound, saw a true psychodrama on the Milanese green rectangle. A guilty slip in its own surface is sanctioned in the tread by a surgical striking of Seedorf (2-0, 20th).The international Serb one is at the edge of the rupture. Its club too. Each unfavourable acceleration rhyme with frank occasion for Rossoneri and it is necessary little of them so that Vidic, ridiculed once again by Kakà, is not "at the origin" of the third Milanese goal (53e). Finally, the international Brazilian one, victim of cramps, will leave in Gilardino the care to manage this extreme humiliation. Of a dish of the authoritative foot right, the old Parmesan, which cursed in front of the goal in League of the Champions, registers its second pawn in C1 this season (3-0, 78e) and plunges a little more DRIVEN in the black. May 23, it is in Athens that the troop of Ancelotti will play its tenth final of League of the Champions. With opposite it, Liverpool, the formation which had deprived it of a triumph in 2005. But this time, the chance could smile to the Milaneses. After wasn't all, in the capital hellene which Rossoneri had conquered their fifth title in 1994, étrillant with the passage Barça (4-0)? Memories, memories...THE DECLA: Kaka (Milan AC)"I continue to say that I am not yet with the signal. I must still improve. A perfect match was made. Finally against Liverpool, that still will be a beautiful meeting, a single match. I hope simply that the exit will be different (that at the time of the finale 2005). Attacker or leader of play, it does not matter, I want to be most complete possible ".

United 3 AC Milan 2

THE bulldog spirit of two-goal Wayne Rooney won another sensational European night for the Reds, eclipsing the Brazilian brilliance of Kaka.
This was Champions League theatre at its very best again at Old Trafford.
Milan's South American was heading for one of those unforgettable nights at United's HQ enjoyed by his fellow countryman Ronaldo with Real Madrid almost exactly four years ago when Old Trafford rose as one with a gracious tribute to an individual display of awesome magnitude.
The original Ronaldo's stunning hat-trick couldn't quite see off the Reds on that night in 2003 as they hit back to win 4-3 but couldn't save themselves from a Champions League exit.
Last night they once again shrugged off an immense show from a gifted opponent to storm home and this time set up a fantastic second leg in the San Siro next Wednesday with the Athens dream still very much intact.
Kaka's display won't go unsaluted but it was Rooney who was on everyone's lips as United's fans were carried back home down Sir Matt Busby Way on another exhilarating wave of euphoria.
When it looked like the talk would be all about another Copacabana product, it was the lad from Croxteth who turned this match on its head.
Sir Alex Ferguson had been at pains to warn an expectant and throbbing Old Trafford that the Roma rout was a once in a lifetime event. He repeated in his programme notes that you can't expect three goals in the first 20 minutes of every Champions League match.
But during the opening 20 minutes his caution looked like it could be blown apart. The Reds were on fire and it seemed no amount of European experience was going to help a jot to Maldini and Co.
United had to wait to open their rout against the Romans for 11 minutes. Last night they beat that by six minutes.

Dida
Carlo Ancelotti was unsure about putting Brazilian keeper Dida into the firing line after nursing a shoulder problem. It looked like an error on the Italian's part when Dida failed to attack Ryan Giggs' fifth minute corner.
And so much for tight Italian defences as Ronaldo rose to head goalwards.
The airborne keeper got his body in the way to divert the ball towards goal and then it became a race between Gaby Heinze, Gilardino and Dida to reach the spinning loose ball. Dida's long arms stretched to paw it into goal.
The noise inside Old Trafford was a health hazard and the same cauldron was enough for Roma to crumble like the Coliseum a fortnight ago.
The Reds looked to take advantage and a Ronaldo shot and header could be counted as chances against opposition of this stature. So could Michael Carrick's effort that sadly didn't carry the conviction and direction of his Roma strikes.
Milan nonchalantly brushed aside the goal setback and the opportunities and then literally refused point-blank to give the ball back to United. As an exhibition of cool, possession football it had to be admired.
Kaka was given the platform to roam free and create havoc.
United just couldn't handle his poise, elegant stride, strength and calmness.
Could a full-strength Reds back four made up of those voted into the PFA'S Premiership XI rearguard have quelled the South American's genius? You have to say in this kind of mood it would have been unlikely.
It was Milan's quick-thinking that really undid United.
After 22 minutes Gattuso played a quick free-kick while the Reds stood aghast at the injustice of the award. Seedorf slipped a ball into Kaka's run who easily outstripped Carrick's tracking run and failure to get in a tackle. Edwin Van der Sar, despite his size, proved no obstacle for the Brazilian's brilliant finishing.
Having witnessed something special against Roma, Old Trafford was definitely experiencing another Euro spectacle that will live long in the memory from Kaka.
His second after another 15 minutes of Milan control added to the exceptional individual feast.

Speed
Again it was speed of thought that found the Reds out as Dida launched a huge punt up front.
Kaka comfortably shrugged off the attentions of Darren Fletcher. His flick over Heinze and subsequent crash between the Argentinian and Patrice Evra opened the door embarrassingly and once again Van der Sar's efforts to unhinge him were a waste of time as he was beaten yet again.
Kaka had opportunities to make the Reds expected fight back futile. His 57th-minute give and go with Seedorf that saw him launch himself at the return in the box was another moment of awe.
The Reds, however, survived and you have to hand it to them they wiped their collective bloodied noses and gave Milan one back.
Paul Scholes has a catalogue of Kaka moments himself and produced a wonderful lifted ball into Wayne Rooney after 59 minutes for the striker to bulldoze in and send in a fierce shot that Dida could only slow up on its way home.
United were now in powerful mode as they took the game to Milan looking for a lead to put in their baggage next week on the flight to Italy.

The poise of Milan had turned to panic as the Reds unleashed their now customary finale.
Just as the fourth UEFA official held aloft the two minutes overtime board Giggs slid a ball through to Rooney and the striker smacked home inside Dida's near post in one move.

After Man United 3-2 win over AC Milan at Old Trafford as United supporters chant their way home.

Assemblers

codefusionlab — Fri, 11 May 2007 07:28:50 CDT

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Redirected from Assemblers)

Jump to: navigation, search

See the terminology section, below, regarding inconsistent use of the terms assembly and assembler. An assembly language is a low-level language for programming computers. It implements a symbolic representation of the numeric machine codes and other constants needed to program a particular CPU architecture. This representation is usually defined by the hardware manufacturer, and is based on abbreviations (called mnemonics) that help the programmer remember individual instructions, registers, etc. An assembly language is thus specific to a certain physical or virtual computer architecture (as opposed to most high-level languages, most of which are portable). Assembly languages were first developed in the 1950s, when they were referred to as second generation programming languages. They eliminated much of the error prone and time consuming first-generation programming needed with the earliest computers, freeing the programmer from tedium such as remembering numeric codes and calculating addresses. They were once widely used for all sorts of programming. However, by the 1980s (1990s on small computers), their use had largely been supplanted by high-level languages, in the search for improved programming productivity. Today, assembly language is used primarily for direct hardware manipulation, or to address critical performance issues. Typical uses are device drivers, low-level embedded systems, and real-time systems. A utility program called an assembler, is used to translate assembly language statements into the target computer's machine code. The assembler performs a more or less isomorphic translation (a one-to-one mapping) from mnemonic statements into machine instructions and data. (This is in contrast with high-level languages, in which a single statement generally results in many machine instructions. A compiler, analogous to an assembler, is used to translate high-level language statements into machine code; or an interpreter executes statements directly.) Many sophisticated assemblers offer additional mechanisms to facilitate program development, control the assembly process, and aid debugging. In particular, most modern assemblers include a macro facility (described below), and are called macro assemblers.

Programming Languages

codefusionlab — Fri, 11 May 2007 07:24:09 CDT

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A programming language is an artificial language that can be used to control the behavior of a machine, particularly a computer. Programming languages, like human languages, are defined through the use of syntactic and semantic rules, to determine structure and meaning respectively. Programming languages are used to facilitate communication about the task of organizing and manipulating information, and to express algorithms precisely. Some authors restrict the term "programming language" to those languages that can express all possible algorithms; sometimes the term "computer language" is used for more limited artificial languages. Thousands of different programming languages [2] have been created, and new languages are created every year.

Algol

codefusionlab — Fri, 11 May 2007 07:12:50 CDT

Language type: S - block-structured

Description: Algol (for Algorithmic Language) was a very early block-structured compiled language developed a committee, and implemented by computing pioneer John Backus. It was designed for general-purpose industial and scientific programming.
Dialects of Algol include the original Algol58, Algol60, Algol68, ABC Algol, Algol W, S-Algol, and many other variants. Algol58 was originally called the "International Algebraic Language" (IAL).
Data types supported by Algol60 include booleans, various sizes of integers and reals, and strings. Support for strings was limited in standard Algol, but later dialects and implementations added more support. Algol60 was strongly typed in the sense that the compiler checked parameter types in expressions and subroutine calls. It did not permit the declaration of new data 'types' or data structures. Arrays are the only composite data type in Algol60. Algol60 supported highly regular block structure and a complete set of control structures: if-then-else, case, while loops. One of Algol's main contribution to programming was the introduction of block nesting and lexical scoping of local and block variables. Algol60 did not support any kind of general memory management or dynamic memory allocation.
Various implementations of some Algol dialects are still available commercially. Information on the web seems sparse, but some documentation of Algol68 is available. Of course, many old programming books describe the language.

Origin: J. Backus and P. Naur, 1958-60.

Ada

codefusionlab — Fri, 11 May 2007 07:11:03 CDT

Language type: O - Object-oriented

Description: Ada is a block-structured language with many object-oriented programming features. It was originally designed for the US Dept. of Defense, and was intended to support large-scale programming and promote software reliability. Some of Ada's features include: nested procedures, nested packages, strong typing, multi-tasking, generics, exception handling, and abstract data types. Primitive data types supported by Ada include a variety of numeric types, booleans, characters, references, and enumerated symbols. Arrays, records (structures), and strings are Ada's composite types. With its emphasis on program safety, it is not surprising that Ada is a strongly typed language: all data elements must be declared as storing a particular type or subtype, and type enforcement is strictly applied both within and between modules. Ada supports a full complement of sequential control structures, as well as comprehensive exception handling. Ada is very strictly standardized and well documented as a language. Ada compilers undergo stringent validation with an official test suite. At least one free Ada compiler and several good commercial ones are available. Ada was named in honor of Lady Ada Lovelace (1815-1852), a friend and confidante of Charles Babbage. Ada was initially standardized in 1983, and was superseded by a new standard in 1995. These two versions are now known as Ada83 and Ada95.

A Guide to Hypnotism by The Jolly Roger

What hypnotism is? Hypnotism, contrary to common belief, is merely state when your mind and body are in a state of relaxation and your mind is open to positive, or cleverly worded negative, influences. It is not a trance where you: · Are totally influenceable. · Cannot lie. · A sleep which you cannot wake up from without help. This may bring down your hope somewhat, but, hypnotism is a powerful for self help, and/or mischief. Your subconscious mind Before going in further, I'd like to state that hypnotism not only is great in the way that it relaxes you and gets you (in the long run) what you want, but also that it taps a force of incredible power, believe it or not, this power is your subconscious mind. The subconscious mind always knows what is going on with every part of your body, every moment of the day. It protects you from negative influences, and retains the power to slow your heartbeat down and stuff like that. The subconscious mind holds just about all the info you would like to know About yourself, or, in this case, the person you will be hypnotizing. There are many ways to talk to your subconscious and have it talk back to you. One way is the ouja board, no its not a spirit, merely the minds of those who are using it. Another, which I will discuss here, is the pendulum method. OK, here is how it goes. First, get a ring or a washer and tie it to a thread a little longer than half of your forearm. Now, take a sheet of paper and draw a big circle in it. In the big circle you must now draw a crosshair (a big +). Now, put the sheet of paper on a table. Next, hold the thread with the ring or washer on it and place it (holding the thread so that the ring is 1 inch above the paper swinging) in the middle of the crosshair. Now, swing the thread so the washer goes up and down, say to yourself the word "Yes" now, do it side to side and say the word "no". Do it counter clockwise and say "I don't know". And lastly, do it clockwise and say "I don't want to say." Now, with the thread back in the middle of the crosshair, ask yourself questions and wait for the pendulum to swing in the direction for the answer. (yes, no, I don't know or I don't want to say...). Soon, to your amazement, it will be answering questions like anything... Let the pendulum answer, don't try.. When you try you will never get an answer. Let the answer come to you. How to induce hypnotism Now that you know how to talk to your subconscious mind, I will now tell you how to guide someone into hypnosis. Note that I said guide, you can never, hypnotize someone, they must be willing. OK, the subject must be lying or sitting in a comfortable position, relaxed, and at a time when things aren't going to be interrupted. Tell them the following or something close to it, in a peaceful, monotonous tone (not a commanding tone of voice) Note: Light a candle and place it somewhere where it can be easily seen. "Take a deep breath through your nose and hold it in for a count of 8. Now, through your mouth, exhale completely and slowly. Continued breathing long, deep, breaths through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. Tense up all your muscles very tight, now, counting from ten to one, release them slowly, you will find them very relaxed. Now, look at the candle, as you look at it, with every breath and passing moment, you are feeling increasingly more and more peaceful and relaxed. The candles flame is peaceful and bright. As you look at it I will count from 100 down, as a count, your eyes will become more and more relaxed, getting more and more tired with each passing moment." Now, count down from 100, about every 10 numbers say "When I reach xx your eyes (or you will find your eyes) are becoming more and more tired." Tell them they may close their eyes whenever they feel like it. If the persons eyes are still open when you get to 50 then instead of saying "your eyes will.." Say "your eyes are...". When their eyes are shut say the following. As you lie (or sit) here with your eyes comfortably close you find yourself relaxing more and more with each moment and breath. The relaxation feels pleasant and blissful so, you happily give way to this wonderful feeling. Imagine yourself on a cloud, resting peacefully, with a slight breeze caressing your body. A tingling sensation begins to work its way, within and without your toes, it slowly moves up your feet, making them warm, heavy and relaxed. The cloud is soft and supports your body with its soft texture, the scene is peaceful and absorbing, the peacefulness absorbs you completely. The tingling gently and slowly moves up your legs, relaxing them. Making them warm and heavy. The relaxation feels very good, it feels so good to relax and let go. As the tingling continues its journey up into your solar plexus, you feel your inner stomach become very relaxed. Now, it moves slowly into your chest, making your breathing relaxed as well. The feeling begins to move up your arms to your shoulders, making your arms heavy and relaxed as well. You are aware of the total relaxation you are now experiencing, and you give way to it. It is good and peaceful, the tingling now moves into your face and head, relaxing your jaws, neck, and facial muscles, making your cares and worries float away. Away into the blue sky as you rest blissfully on the cloud. If they are not responsive or you think they (he or she) is going to sleep, then add in a "...always concentrating upon my voice, ignoring all other sounds. Even though other sounds exists, they aid you in your relaxation..." They should soon let out a sigh as if they were letting go, and their face should have a "woodiness" to it, becoming featureless... Now, say the following "... You now find yourself in a hallway, the hallway is peaceful and nice. As I count from 10 to 1 you will imagine yourself walking further and further down the hall. When I reach one you will find yourself where you want to be, in another, higher state of conscious and mind. (count from ten to one)..." Do this about three or four times. Then, to test if the subject is under hypnosis or not, say "... You feel a strange sensation in your (arm they write with) arm, the feeling begins at your fingers and slowly moves up your arm, as it moves through your arm your arm becomes lighter and lighter, it will soon be so light it will ... becoming lighter and lighter which each breath and moment..." Their fingers should begin to twitch and then move up, the arm following, now my friend, you have him/her in hypnosis. The first time you do this, while he/she is under say good things, like: "Your going to feel great tomorrow" or "Every day in every way you will find yourself becoming better and better".. Or some crap like that... The more they go under, the deeper in hypnosis they will get each time you do it. What to do when hypnotized When you have them under you must word things very carefully to get your way. You cannot simply say... Take off your clothes and fuck the pillow. No, that would not really do the trick. You must say something like.... "you find your self at home, in your room and you have to take a shower (vividly describe their room and what's happening), you begin to take off your clothes..." Now, it can't be that simple, you must know the persons house, room, and shower room. Then describe things vividly and tell them to act it out (they have to be deeply under to do this). I would just suggest that you experiment a while, and get to know how to do things. Waking up Waking up is very easy, just say "...as I count from 1 to 5 you will find yourself becoming more and more awake, more and more lively. When you wake up you will find yourself completely alive, awake, and refreshed. Mentally and physically, remembering the pleasant sensation that hypnosis brings... Waking up feeling like a new born baby, reborn with life and vigor, feeling excellent. Remembering that next time you enter hypnosis it will become an ever increasing deeper and deeper state than before. You feel energy course throughout your limbs. You begin to breathe deeply, stirring. Beginning to move more and more your eyes open, bringing you up to full conscious. You are up, up, up and awakening more and more. You are awake and feeling great. And that's it! You now know how to hypnotize yourself and someone else. You will learn more and more as you experiment.

Do you hate school?

· One of my favorites for getting out of a class or two is to call in a bomb threat. Tell 'em that it is in a locker. Then they have to check them all, whilst you can slip away for an hour or two. You can even place a fake bomb (in any locker but YOURS!). They might cancel school for a week while they investigate (of course, you will probably have to make it up in the summer).· Get some pure potassium or pure sodium, put it in a capsule, and flush it down the toilet (smells awful! Stinks up the whole school!).· Use a smoke grenade in the hallway.· Steal the computer passwords & keys. Or steal the 80 column cards inside if they are (gag) IBM.· Make friends with student assistants and have them change your grades when the teachers hand in their bubble sheets for the report cards.· Spit your gum out on the carpet in the library or whatever and grind it into the carpet. Watch the janitors cry!· Draw on lockers or spray paint on the building that the principal is a fascist.· Stick a potato in the tailpipe of the principal's car.· USE YOUR IMAGINATION!

Counterfeiting Money

Well I know its like a stern introduction from my part, but if you follow my rules, you shall enjoy my articles more than anything in the world. Well my first article is about How To counterfeit Money. Below is the detailed description of how to do it...

Before reading this article, it would be a very good idea to get a book on photo offset printing, for this is the method used in counterfeiting US currency. If you are familiar with this method of printing, counterfeiting should be a simple task for you.

Genuine currency is made by a process called "gravure", which involves etching a metal block. Since etching a metal block is impossible to do by hand, photo offset printing comes into the process.

Photo offset printing starts by making negatives of the currency with a camera, and putting the negatives on a piece of masking material (usually orange in color). The stripped negatives, commonly called "flats", are then exposed to a lithographic plate with an arc light plate maker. The burned plates are then developed with the proper developing chemical. One at a time, these plates are wrapped around the plate cylinder of the press.

The press to use should be an 11 by 14 offset, such as the AB Dick 360. Make 2 negatives of the portrait side of the bill, and 1 of the back side. After developing them and letting them dry, take them to a light table. Using opaque on one of the portrait sides, touch out all the green, which is the seal and the serial numbers. The back side does not require any retouching, because it is all

one color. Now, make sure all of the negatives are registered (lined up correctly) on the flats. By the way, every time you need another serial number, shoot 1 negative of the portrait side, cut out the serial number, and remove the old serial number from the flat replacing it with the new one.

Now you have all 3 flats, and each represents a different color: black, and 2 shades of green (the two shades of green are created by mixing inks). Now you are ready to burn the plates. Take a lithographic plate and etch three marks on it. These marks must be 2 and 9/16 inches apart, starting on one of the short edges. Do the same thing to 2 more plates. Then, take 1 of the flats and place it on the plate, exactly lining the short edge up with the edge of the plate. Burn it, move it up to the next mark, and cover up the exposed area you have already burned. Burn that, and do the same thing 2 more times, moving the flat up one more mark. Do the same process with the other 2 flats (each on a separate plate). Develop all three plates. You should now have 4 images on each plate with an equal space between each bill.

The paper you will need will not match exactly, but it will do for most situations. The paper to use should have a 25% rag content. By the way, Disaperf computer paper (invisible perforation) does the job well. Take the paper and load it into the press. Be sure to set the air, buckle, and paper thickness right. Start with the black plate (the plate without the serial numbers). Wrap it around the cylinder and load black ink in. Make sure you run more than you need because there will be a lot of rejects. Then, while that is printing, mix the inks for the serial numbers and the back side. You will need to add some white and maybe yellow to the serial number ink. You also need to add black to the back side. Experiment until you get it right. Now, clean the press and print the other side. You will now have a bill with no green seal or serial numbers. Print a few with one serial number, make another and repeat. Keep doing this until you have as many different numbers as you want. Then cut the bills to the exact size with a paper cutter. You should have printed a large amount of money by now, but there is still one problem; the paper is pure white. To dye it, mix the following in a pan: 2 cups of hot water, 4 tea bags, and about 16 to 20 drops of green food coloring (experiment with this). Dip one of the bills in and compare it to a genuine US bill. Make the necessary adjustments, and dye all the bills. Also, it is a good idea to make them look used. For example, wrinkle them, rub coffee grinds on them, etc.

As before mentioned, unless you are familiar with photo offset printing, most of the information in this article will be fairly hard to understand. Along with getting a book on photo offset printing, try to see the movie "To Live and Die in LA". It is about a counterfeiter, and the producer does a pretty good job of showing how to counterfeit. A good book on the subject is "The Poor Man's James Bond".

If all of this seems too complicated to you, there is one other method available for counterfeiting: The Canon color laser copier. The Canon can replicate ANYTHING in vibrant color, including US currency. But, once again, the main problem in counterfeiting is the paper used. So, experiment, and good luck!

Diskette Bombs by The Jolly Roger

You need:

· A disk

· Scissors

· White or blue kitchen matches (they MUST be these colors!)

· Clear nail polish

Carefully open up the diskette (3«" disks are best for this!)

Remove the cotton covering from the inside.

Scrape a lot of match powder into a bowl (use a wooden scraper, metal might spark the matchpowder!)

After you have a lot, spread it evenly on the disk.

Using the nail polish, spread it over the match mixture

Let it dry

Carefully put the diskette back together and use the nail polish to seal it shut on the inside (where it came apart).

When that disk is in a drive, the drive head attempts to read the disk, which causes a small fire (ENOUGH HEAT TO MELT THE DISK DRIVE AND FUCK THE HEAD UP!!). Let the fuckhead try and fix THAT!!!

Is My PC Vulnerable on the Internet?

tHe_arCHer — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 07:05:21 CDT

Think about this: Is a simple antivirus application enough to protect your PC against all threats?

No longer are viruses the only threat on the internet. In recent years other threats have evolved which include spyware, adware, hacking, identity theft, information theft, pop-ups and the loss of information.

Let's begin with the basics. We all need to protect our PC in the same way we protect our home, car and bank account. We wouldn't give a stranger the keys to our car, home or bank account now would we. If you don't protect your PC it is like giving the keys to a stranger and letting him/her have full access to your PC. Once the stranger has the keys they can snoop around and take whatever they want. I know, your thinking how can they do this, my computer is in my house and my doors are locked. Well, today you can be anywhere in the world and access someone's computer via the internet. Since the introduction of cable modems and DSL everyone's PC is online all the time and accessible.

Why do I need to protect my PC, I don't keep any important information on it? Ask yourself a couple of questions.

1.Do I bank online? 2.Do I shop online? 3.Do I create documents, spreadsheets? 4.Do I let other people use my PC? 5.Do I download music, files onto my PC?

If you answered yes to any of these questions then your PC is vulnerable. If you bank online then you are sending personal confidential information to your bank via the Internet. For Example: Let's say you are infected with spyware and you are typing in your account number plus password. A spyware installation can record key strokes and then send them off to a site on the internet. Now the person who setup the site has your account number and password to your bank. Here is one more example, if you answered yes to I let other people use my pc, here is what happens. The other person decides that they like this new cool piece of software. They download and double click on the exe, msi or whatever installs the software. The adware, spyware or virus installs. Now the infection is installed and now it can start stealing confidential information or cause havoc on your PC. You get onto the PC as always, since you don't know this has happened and start doing what you always do, type documents, go to chat rooms, do your banking online, reconcile your banking with quicken and all this time your confidential information is stolen and you are completely unaware that this occurred.

The million dollar question, what do I do? Well, you can follow this approach. 1.Install a Spyware application and install and configure correctly. If you already have spyware application installed make sure it is up to date and make sure that is configured properly. 2.Install an Adware application and install and configure properly. If you already have adware application installed make sure it is up to date and make sure that is configured properly. 3.Install an AntiVirus application and install and configure properly. If you already have antivirus application installed make sure it is up to date and make sure that is configured properly. 4.Install backup software, why because if something does get through your defenses or delete something by accident you always have a way of retrieving the information. You should try to backup your system at least every other day. 5.Install Encryption software. This software will encrypt files like word docs, spreadsheets, banking file on quicken. This way if someone does steal your information they will not be able to read it. 6.Install a Firewall. The Firewall can either be software or hardware based. I would install both especially if you bring your laptop with you and connect to the internet at different locations. The Firewall will block hackers trying to scan your system while you are on the Internet.

Many people have these applications installed but they do not configure them correctly. Just installing the application does not mean that the application is working properly to stop the threat/infection. On some applications you need to configure the setting to make the application work the way it was designed to. Find out how to configure and install the software properly either by reading a how to book or getting someone to help. If you already have the application installed make sure it is up to date and make sure that is configured properly. All of the software needs to be up to date and kept current. As new threats are release on the internet, all applications will need the current updates to fight these threats.

If you would like to find out if you're PC is protected you can take the test. This will not harm your PC it just checks for vulnerabilities and lets you know if you passed or failed. The application is a single exe and DOES NOT NEED TO BE INSTALLED. All you need to do is run the test application and follow the instructions. http://www.mweffa.com/urltrak/control/redirect.php?id=273
