Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the game called U61?

In fact, when I first started this project, I had called it "Tetr61s". This was because the game was at first supposed to be quite close to Tetris(c) and there's a letter in Russian which is pronounced "i" (like in "tetris") and when you write it down it looks like you have written 61.

Since the Tetris Company ( claims to have a look-and-feel copyright on Tetris(c), and sues independant game programmers who program Tetris(c) like games, I could not call the game Tetr61s, nor make a plain Tetris(c) clone. So I decided to start a new project, more general, and change the name. So "U" is because my nickname is "U-Foot" and "61" is because it is the successor of "Tetr61s".

Can I copy the game?

Yes, since the game is Free Software (free as in speech), protected by the GPL (GNU General Public License). You should have received a copy of the GPL with the game. For more informations on the GPL, check

Why did you use ClanLib instead of SDL?

SDL starts being a quite mature library, it's widespread, present in most GNU/Linux distributions, and used by professionnals such as Loki. Therefore, one might wonder why I chose ClanLib instead, knowing that it's much harder to install and also less common library than SDL.

I chose ClanLib because is a high-level programming library, and provides much more than SDL. Its main drawback is that it's still under developpement and therefore API changes occur a bit too often for me. But its big advantage is that it provides tons of usefull functions, and has a very clean design. I also like the idea that ClanLib is developped by independant programmers, just like me.

Why did you code yet another Tetris(c) clone?

There are 2 answers to this question:

  • If you really think U61 is a Tetris(c) clone, then you probably have not really played U61. Try and play with different set of rules using the "Game options" -> "Rules" menu, and play with friends - 3 or 4 players starts being fun... And don't miss the "special square" which is represented by a black and white "?" in the default theme.
  • Of course I could have decided to tweak an existing game such as Tetrinet or Quadra instead of starting a new developpement from scratch, but I believe the final result would have been less flexible, and... ...I really enjoy programming 8-)

Source package is hudge, why?

It's true that the source package for U61 is very big, even once it's been compressed. It's even bigger than the binaries...

The reason is relatively simple: I think - and this is also the FSF point of view - that the source package must reflect my developpement environment, and offer users who download it all the code, tools and ressources I use to compile the game. Therefore the source package is simply my whole developpement tree, so it contains *everything* and it's big.

You could argue that I could separate the C++ source code from graphics and such things but it would force me to have several source packages, and then I'd need to have some scripts to interract between these packages and it would make things more complicated. I did try it - previous versions of U61 used to have an u61 and an u61-data package - and it sucks.

You'll also notice that there are some unused extra graphics, sounds or scripts in the source tree. These are ressources I'm "likely to use" in further developpements, are which have been done and abandonned in the past, but are not bad enough to be thrown away. Again, I put *all* my U61 stuff in the source package.

Another good reason for doing that - besides making all my work freely available - is that everything I put in the source package is stored on a distant CVS server, this means that if my house burns and I loose all material things my work is not completely lost 8-)

darias: A 2 for one dilution does not actually dilute the value of anyone's shares but makes the shares more liquid. A placing where money raised is paid out as a special dividend or offered to existing shareholders does not dilute the company's value. A placing raises 500m then the company has 500m of extra funds. This does not reduce the value of my holding and if an increased dividend was paid it is likely to even raise the share price. The value of my holding has dropped because of the daft RNS. I accept that they can sell to realise the value of their assets it is the hypocrisy that I object to. Your share of the business on release of the RNS has fallen o.6% since the announcement. Besides the shares they sold were not bought at £9 the price on offer to me and you but as an exercise of options at a substantially discounted price.
darias: It was really only that they had been shrewd enough to take out Braemar, which we had made a fair gain on in only two months. On purchasing Braemar they had taken over the fund to invest in farmland. (This was our reason for investing in Braemar). The share price had risen like a rocket since coming to market especially in the last 2 years without any significant selling illustrating a support price. I highlighted the July news release stating that profits would be ahead of expectation and they are paying a dividend. Funds under management 2.1b compared with 1.8b and 1.3b in last six months/year. Since purchasing I have carried out some further research and note that they reported 3500 customers who are clearly high wealth so I calculate that these customers have a mean average of 600,000 invested in their pension funds. It has been demonstrated that the big fund managers cannot do the business so why not run with the small fund managers who seem to be making a better fist of it. I did express concern that they do not issue much in the way of news and this may be a big Ponzi scheme but there you go. It is clear that the astronomic rise in the last two years means that there may not be much further to go. However if they do not issue a reason for any weakness in share price that may come about it may be a case of adding on weakness.

Brooks Macdonald share price has more than trebled over the past 18 months. Its first quarter results were extremely strong, with revenue, pre-tax profits and earnings per share all sharply higher. The company also begun paying dividends for the first time. A statement released this morning reported this trend had continued. 'The group has benefited throughout the period from an encouraging and continuing inflow of new business. The group's results to 30 June 2010 will be ahead of market expectations.' Collins Stewart was also optimistic about the future earnings for the wealth manager as it reiterated its 'buy' rating on the firm. The broker estimated that the company's assets under management, set to be announced next week, will go through the £2 billion barrier to roughly £2.15 billion, representing a 55% rise over the twelve months. Brooks Macdonald group, which operates an investment management and financial planning arms, recentlyacquired property specialist Braemar and has made a string of hires. Amongst the most recent fund manager hires were Colin Barrett, previously of Heartwood Wealth Management, for its Tunbridge Wells office. It has also boosted the Edinburgh branch with the hire of Scott Lothian from Adam & Co. Collins Stewart said the Bramear acquisition will not bring material benefits in the next 12 months but should be beneficial over the longer-term. It added that the company will focus on organic growth this year while its balance sheet remains strong. 'We anticipate further cash generation in 10/11 which will support continued dividend growth.'

Susan Sarandon Tells BBC Newsnight’s Evan Davis Why She Won’t Vote For Hillary Clinton

Hollywood actress Susan Sarandon has revealed she will be voting for neither Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump in the upcoming US presidential elections.

Sarandon, who has formally endorsed Green Party candidate Jill Stein, appeared on BBC Newsnight via video link on Thursday, where she informed host Evan Davis: “I don’t vote with my vagina.”

Davis pressed: “A lot of young women think it’s the most natural thing in the world that you might have a woman president. A lot of women of your generation may take the view that is actually quite a big thing for the United States to elect a woman president. Does that not sway you to say Hillary Clinton, first woman president, that would be a big moment for the US in a good way?”

Hey Arnold!

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Hey Arnold! is a '90s–'00s American animated television series that ran on Nickelodeon. It dealt with Arnold, a kind-hearted grade-schooler who had to fight to survive in the ghettos of Hillwood, Washington.

edit Premise

edit Plot

The show center on Arnold. At age nine, Arnold takes the subway, walks to school, skips school, goes the the other side of town, and kidnaps giant sea turtles. Some may think, "Wow! What an adventurous little boy," but I think, "What is this world coming to."

Arnold lives in the Sunset Arms boarding home, with his eccentric grandparents Phil and Gertrude. In the boarding house are several old men, who often sneak into his room in the middle of the night to steal his stuff.

edit Characters

  • Arnold Shortman – A kind young boy who is basically the reincarnation of Jesus, in that all his friends go to him for help. His parents were lost in a jungle adventure. Arnold has no last name; there were a few episodes in which his last name was almost revealed, but it would've been too shocking for young viewers.
  • Helga Pataki – A hard-shelled girl known for her prominent unibrow. Helga likes to go out in dark alleyways and beat up kids for lunch money, and rob the Jolly Olly Man. For whatever reason, she is often seen dressing up as pieces of meat or milk cartons.
  • Gerald Johansen – Arnold's best friend, a token black kid who is often is found passed out the subway. His hairdo is shaped like a hedge, and it is approximatley 10-ft. tall. He tried to grow an afro, but it ended up sort of, well, rectangular. His brother is an all-star baseball player, who is commonly assosiated with Mickey Rooney, another oddball on the show.
  • Pheobe Higher-Than-Ya'll – A timid nerd girl with glasses.
  • Rhonda-Little Richie – An arrogant rich girl.

edit Production

The show was created by That Guy Who Was Matt Groening's Brother, and based on his clay animation shorts.

The show currently does NOT air at 6 am on the nicktoons channel, it only airs when it feels like it and on Christmas.

Richard M. Stallman

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Richard Stallman, circa 1889

For the religious among us who choose to believe lies, the "questionable parody" of this website called Wikipedia have an article about Richard M. Stallman.
“Richard M. Stallman is not Unix.”
~ Unix on Richard M. Stallman
“RMS? Oh yeah, I'm the root mean square”
~ Richard M. Stallman on Physics

Richard Malodorous Stallman (born March 16, 1953), also known as "rms", "GNU/Stallman", 'Richard M. Stalin' and sometimes Karl Marx, is the author and most prominent proponent of the Grand Unified Theory of Free & Accessible Technology (GUTFAT), and the founder of the GNU. GNU is a clever and descriptive but decidedly non-recursive acronym standing for Generally Not Used.

Essentially, rms's theory states that it is more important for software to be free than to be usable. In later years he became the spokesperson for other freedom movements including free love, free Tibet, and free Whopper® with the purchase of a Whopper Ultra Value Meal®—for a limited time only, prices and participation may vary.

Early years

800px-Wikimania stallman keynote2

"Hearken, my brethren! The time has come! Together we shall crush the oppression of proprietary software and free mankind from the evil clutches of corrupt corporations!"

While rms himself is sketchy about exact details of his origin, according to "The Hacker's Dictionary" he was inadvertently created in a polymer factory in 1953.

A disinterested employee was searching for a suitable dumping ground for a surplus of wax, liquid rubber and epoxy plastic. When he discovered that all the trash receptacles were full and all the casting molds were in use, he dumped the strange concoction into a blob on the floor, with the intention of perhaps getting around to cleaning it up later (maybe next week, if he had nothing better to do, and if his boss threatened to fire him otherwise).

The employee later noticed that the slug-like pile had locomoted away, leaving only a trail of polyurethane as a clue that it had ever existed...

A joyful reunion: The polymer factory worker revisits rms on his first birthday.

Some time later, rms entered prestigious Harvard University—apparently by hanging out by the loading dock of the maintenance entrance disguised as a blob of wax, liquid rubber and epoxy plastic... and then slithering inside when the Security Guard wasn't looking.

While unpopular with women ("Rancid muddy stain! Rancid muddy stain!"), his typing was impeccable, and rms was able to graduate from Harvard in 1974 with a BA in physics, mostly by taking computer-based proctor-graded courses where no actual contact needed to be made with professors.

During the same period, he was able to squeeze under doors and through mail slots at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab, where he enjoyed a rewarding (if somewhat non-consensual) relationship with the facility's PDP-10 computer.

Brave GNU world (mask)

Pictures of RMS are spraypainted on all FSF property

In January 1984, rms sustained severe chemical burns when he met the business-end of a disinfectant squirt bottle, wielded by a perplexed janitor who believed him to be the developing fungi of a professor's forgotten coffee cup. He fled from MIT, disks held securely in his folds and orifices, to begin the GNU project.

One of the his first non-programming works—the GNU Manifesto—was a certifiable snore-fest, later adopted by a commercial enterprise, repackaged, and sold on the industrial pharmaceutical market as a sedative for invasive surgery.

It detailed the harsh political realities facing discarded industrial materials in their class vs. class struggle against carbon-based bipedal bourgeoisie. And, there was also some mention of the design and creation of a free Unix-compatible operating system—but no-one was able to read to that point until the popular availability of No-Doz.

When it became clear that his globular appearance constituted an insurmountable barrier in the successful promotion of his software enterprise, rms incorporated the non-profit Free Sockpuppet Foundation (FSF) to provide opportunities for like-affected entities (slogan: "New identities, new beginnings, new horizons.")

Operating System

In search of some sense of belonging, rms was briefly affiliated with a dangerous group of plastic explosives during his late teens.

With his noodly appendages calloused and sore, rms found himself sadly defeated, unable to create a functional kernel to complement his array of system tools and complete the GNU Operating System. He assembled a team of programmers from his network of poly-sympathizers, then gave them the mission and their guiding slogan: "Technology Unlimited, Radical Development"

So, GNU's Project TURD was begun in earnest in the new decade of 1990, but it soon became clear that the excruciating squeeze to produce a revolutionary package was in fact, waste, owing to a crappy design decision. The public, who'd been waiting patiently by the door for some time, eventually moved on to the fertile pastures of Linux, and GNU's offering was flushed.

While he may have begun life as a flexible, almost malleable entity, rms is now described by most as being extremely difficult to work with. The XEmacs team, for example, catalogued a list just shy of 10,000 specific complaints about working with rms that led them to tell him to fork off their project.

Leading experts in the field of polymer chemistry have speculated that rms' base materials are slowly hardening with time, but are unable to determine why, or whether the condition is reversable. Historically, rms has been extremely guarded about being touched and is vehemently against providing any tissue samples, so the truth may never be known. However, it is postulated that by the time of his death, his own preserved remains will be able to serve double-duty as a tribute statue at GNU Headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts.

  • He is the composer of the Free Sockpuppet Song, and has been known to perform it on the recorder, or folk-slither to it when others play it.
  • He cannot swim, but floats majestically.
  • He once received a custom-made sail from Microsoft chairman Bill Gates, but has steadfastly refused to wear it, despite the fact that it was "free".
  • Linus Torvalds said: “rms will be forever remembered as the guy whose TURD just wouldn't float.”
  • In his Personal Ad, rms declares himself as well rounded, not as dense as people think, and proud of his achievements despite his meagre beginnings on the factory floor.
  • His religion forbids bathing and shaving for non-actors as it is insulting to the gods.
  • Despite the fact that his name can be read as Richard M's tall, man!, he is actually under three feet in height.
  • He had his name legally changed from 'Ignucius Richard M. Stallman' because his initials could be interpreted as 'I R MS'.

Vegas Technology Casinos & Slots

Friday, January 21st, 2011

Even though there are hundreds of active online casinos offering gambling games, there are only a few software providers which let these casinos run their games, providing a random number generator for fairness, an appealing graphical interface and the large database management system necessary to coordinate thousands of players simultaneously playing. One of the leading gambling software provider is Vegas Technology, and vegas technology online casinos have a large market share.

The advantage for these casinos is that they can rely on the experience, reputation and know-how of Vegas Technology to provide a safe, secure and entertaining platform to play casino games at. Security of private information and financial transactions is crucial to online gamblers given the uncertain legal landscape and the unfortunate history of some rogue operators. This is one of the area of strength of Vegas Technology as the company started by offering secure money transfer over the Internet for e-commerce businesses.

But each online casino is enabled to customize its product so that they all look and feel unique, sometimes with their own game variations and sexy design. Their uniqueness comes also from their promotions, bonuses, perks and VIP Club, how effective their customer service is or what banking methods are allowed, what is the size of their progressive jackpots, etc.

With respect to games, one of their forte is vegas technology slots as they have over eighty slot machines. Some of these online slot machines are just the great classics that can be found at brick and mortar casinos, while others were invented by the Vegas Technology engineers and cannot be found elsewhere.

For example ‘Alien Invasion Slots’ is a three reels slot machine with coins from ten cents to ten dollars. In this game you will start a space adventure where you meet aliens and dangerous creatures trying to invade Planet Earth. Killing them on the payline provides you with extra rewards and you also get a chance to a high jackpot of 2,000 coins.

How about ‘Luck o’ The Irish Slots’? If you see the Leprechaun, you may get a chance to win the top jackpot of 2,400 coins or other awards and bonuses. In this fairy tale decor, ‘Pot of Gold’ is the wild symbol adding to your chances of winning.

So what are you waiting for? You can play these Vegas Technology games anywhere, either using the regular software version on your computer at home or work, or any place with an Internet connection if you use the flash version where you directly play from the browser.

Ability to balance on a single leg reflects brain health

Ability to balance on a single leg reflects brain health

Find it difficult to balance on a single leg? It’s a simple act that reduces many to wobbling and windmilling, but there might be a spot for it in medicine. Based on new information, an lack of ability to balance on a single leg for 25 seconds or longer could signal brain damage in otherwise healthy individuals.

Woman balancing acrobatically on one leg.

Scientific study has formerly connected the opportunity to effectively get up on one leg with positive health outcomes.

The research, printed in Stroke, reports a connection between deficiencies in balancing skills as well as an elevated risk for small circulation system damage and reduced cognitive function in individuals who appear otherwise asymptomatic.

“Our study discovered that the opportunity to balance on a single leg is a vital test for brain health,” stated lead study author Yasuharu Tabara, in the Kyoto College Graduate Med school in Kyoto, Japan.

The opportunity to get up on one leg has formerly been suggested like a predictor of certain health outcomes. Inside a study printed within the BMJ captured, researchers found a connection between how long people at age 53 could balance on a single leg and all sorts of cause mortality rates.

Small vessel disease damages arterial blood vessels by looking into making them stiffer, disturbing the flow of bloodstream. The incidence of the disease frequently increases as we grow older.

Cerebral circulation system disease is considered to point a heightened chance of future symptomatic stroke. In the past studies, subclinical (asymptomatic) brain damage continues to be shown by lack of motor co-ordination and cognitive impairment.

Brain lesions and balancing

They requested participants to face on a single leg for approximately a minute (if at all possible) with eyes open. This examination was transported out two times, using the best recorded time from each participant used inside the study analysis. As many as 841 ladies and 546 men, by having an average chronilogical age of 67, took part in the research.

Afterward, the brains from the participants were examined using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to judge any cerebral small vessel disease damage. Cognitive impairment seemed to be measured through the researchers, using computer-based questionnaires.

Cerebral small vessel disease was connected with being not able to balance on a single leg in excess of 20 seconds. Particularly, they noted a connection with small subclinical infarctions – obstruction of bloodstream supply to tissue resulting in tissue dying – for example lacunar infarctions and microbleeds.

The next figures of participants had trouble balancing on a single leg:

34.5% of participants using more than two lacunar infarction lesions

16% of participants with one lacunar infarction lesion

30% of participants using more than two microbleed lesions

15.3% of participants with one microbleed lesion.

Lack of ability to face on a single leg for particularly lengthy seemed to be individually connected with lower cognitive functioning scores.

Participants found to possess cerebral small vessel disease were, typically, older with greater bloodstream pressure and thicker carotid arterial blood vessels than participants without harm to their marbles. When the researchers adjusted their findings of these factors, participants with increased subclinical infarctions put together to possess shorter occasions for sitting on one leg.

Potentially a ‘consequence of the existence of brain abnormalities’

They write that previous research has consistently found evidence supporting rapport between postural instability and changes inside the brain, but couple of have extended this link with lacunar infarction or microbleeds.

A significant limitation from the study would be that the researchers didn’t measure the participants’ histories of falling or potential health and fitness issues, including abnormalities within their gaits, that could have experienced major implications for his or her findings.

The authors condition that additional lengthy-term studies is going to be needed to be able to verify these bits of information and fully assess the value of postural instability.

“One-leg standing time is a straightforward way of measuring postural instability and can originate from the existence of brain abnormalities,” concludes Tabara. “Individuals showing poor balance on a single leg should receive elevated attention, because this may suggest an elevated risk for brain disease and cognitive decline.”

Earlier this year, Medical News Today reported on the study finding that individuals with ‘abnormal’ amounts of oxygen within their bloodstream were more prone to develop subclinical infarctions.

Flooding Strands Residents In Plaquemines Parish

Aug 29, 2012
Originally published on August 30, 2012 2:04 am

Now, Greg mentioned Plaquemines Parish. Look at a map of Louisiana and you'll see that parish, a finger of land sticking far out into the Gulf of Mexico. Jennifer Hale of WVUE Television is in the parish, spent the night there. And Ms. Hale, where are you now?

JENNIFER HALE: We are at the Office of Emergency Preparedness in a city called Belle Chasse, which is in the northern end of the parish. Right now you still can't get down to the southern end if you're not already there. The winds are just way too high. The water's coming up. The rain has been steadily going since 6:00 p.m. last night.

INSKEEP: What was the night like?

HALE: It's been a rough night. I'll tell you what. Isaac stalled out and we were in the eye wall and we just stayed there for hours. So sustained winds for much of the night were around 60-80 miles per hour. We had wind gusts up to 110 miles an hour. So our live trick was shaking. We had parts of roofs coming off. And the most unfortunate news, the situation that we're all praying for and most worried about right now, is that we've had an 18 foot section of levee topped in an area called Braithwaite, about one to three feet of water spilling over the top of that levee right now. Homes in that area have anywhere from nine to 14 feet of water.

Twenty to 60 people are stranded right now, some trapped on roofs, some trapped in attics. Right now officially the conditions are just way too bad for law enforcement agencies to launch search and rescue efforts. So we've had a couple locals take matters into their own hands. They know the area. They can work it in the dark, which is what the case has been for much of the most emergent situation.

And they've gotten in their boats and gotten out there. They've rescued two pump workers on the job who got stranded. They've rescued a woman, her five-month-old baby, from a rooftop, and (unintelligible) from her rooftop.

The danger here is that these conditions might not ease up all that much for another 12 hours, so these locals just felt like they had to do something.

INSKEEP: You were giving us an update on the story here. We heard earlier on the program from Billy Nungesser, the parish president in Plaquemines Parish, and he told us about a couple of water pump workers who were stranded on a levee, basically water on both sides of the levee, too high for them to go anywhere. You're saying those two pump workers have now been rescued, they've been floated away, in effect.

HALE: They have been successfully rescued. That's the good news, yes. They were at work at the pump station and finished work and were attempting to leave, unaware that the levee had been topped, and all of a sudden these flood waters came up around them.

They were only about 2,000 feet from the flood station itself, but there was enough angry, swirling, moving water that they could not get back there safely. So thankfully some locals in boats were able to reach them in the dark, in these high winds, in these rough waves, and pull them to safety.

INSKEEP: Was there an evacuation order before the storm arrived for Plaquemines Parish?

HALE: For parts of Plaquemines Parish. Not for all of it. Braithwaite, the area that we're talking about now, yes, they were under a mandatory evacuation. That's on the east bank side, bank levee, which is about nine feet tall there. The areas residents we're most concerned about was the west bank levee, which is only five feet tall, and then believe it or not, despite the fact we're in a drought, the Mississippi River levees, because the storm surge was pushed up into the mouth of the river, and it almost topped levees there - east bank side is the one area up until 12 hours ago they weren't really worried about. But again, I mentioned how Isaac stalled out and we were just sitting in this eye wall for so long. Those easterly winds shoved so much water up against that east bank levee that it just started going over the top and flooding.

INSKEEP: Now, what about those 60-80 people who apparently did not evacuate and who are stranded in various places? How soon can they expect aid?

HALE: Big question. Right now it's a local rescue effort. The official word from Coast Guard and National Guard is that the conditions are still too - too rough to launch a rescue mission for themselves right now, not in their rules(ph) at this moment. So locals have been hearing about this and more and more are joining in on the effort. They've arranged a meeting point for themselves and they're launching - a couple already out there working now and more to follow.

So hopefully, despite the fact that we're still in these horrible conditions, most of these people will find their way to safety.

INSKEEP: You know, when we look at satellite photos of Plaquemines Parish, it's kind of amazing because it seems almost like it's half land, half water, that alluvial landscape out there at the mouth of the Mississippi River. I guess that makes it especially vulnerable at a time like this. But does it also mean that everybody has a boat, there are a lot of people who are ready to try to rescue people if they can?

HALE: Absolutely. You hit the nail on the head. These are tough people here. They know how to live with the water. They know how to live with the elements. And most of the folks here have been here for generations. You know, they know this area like the back of their hand. So if there's a silver lining, that would be it, that these folks are well-equipped. They have the knowledge and the skills to get out there and help each other. And that's really how they came back from Katrina and that's how they're going to come through this.

Believe it or not, some areas - an area called Woodlawn(ph), if anyone wants to look it up on a map - it did not flood during Katrina; it is flooding right now. Water is up to the second story in some areas. We've had a police cruiser get flooded out. So in part they're seeing flooding that they've never seen before.

INSKEEP: Well, Jennifer Hale of WVUE Television, thanks very much and stay safe.

HALE: Thank you for your time. We appreciate it.

Now, one other person who's been following those dramatic rescues in Plaquemines Parish is the parish president, Billy Nungesser. We spoke to him earlier this morning and he said given the amount of rain that might fall on his community, quote: "I don't know who's calling this a Category 1, but this is no Category 1."

Nungesser was at an emergency response center dealing with others, even as he heard that his own house had been flooded. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Exclusive Preview: ‘Nightwing’ #21

06.07.13 4 years ago

You might remember that the last time we saw Nightwing, he was getting his butt kicked by an unexpected roommate after moving, newly broke, to Chicago. As you may have guessed, things have not improved!

Dick is currently on the trail of the Prankster. In the old DCU, he was a perv-stached goof of a Superman villain using re-engineered novelties to annoy the Big Blue Boy Scout. Here he’s basically the Jigsaw Killer, targeting various scam artists and unpleasant individuals and, say, feeding them to wolves in ironic traps.

Unfortunately, he didn’t count on Nightwing showing up. Or, for that matter, Nightwing being a lot smarter than the Prankster thinks…

Lock Lil Boosie, But You Can’t Trap His Music

04.16.10 7 years ago 5 Comments

As Boosie went in, the word was there would be a song released every week until he returned to the streets. Wishful thinking since he got a little longer than the average rapper bid. Still, he (and/or his team) did manage to keep up a good pace before slacking. After a quiet spell, here’s three recent songs from Bad Azz, off some mixtape that is circulating around Baton Rouge. For my listening, “F#ck’em All” sounds to be the keeper since he directs scathing (and somewhat personal) lines @ Trill Ent. for their shady tactics employed, specifically with his last album.

Props to HaZe for shootin’em through to the inbox.

Someone’s Finally Paying Attention To Barb’s Disappearance In This New ‘Stranger Things’ Clip

Web Culture Editor

Subscribe to UPROXX

The Duffer Brothers may or may not have expected their Netflix series Stranger Things to become a runaway hit, but one thing they most definitely did not expect was the outpouring of sympathy for the character of Barb, Nancy Wheeler’s unappreciated best friend who viewers rallied around despite the fact that she barely appeared in half of the episodes. Really?? The entire community is going to band together over Will Byers but then nobody gives a single, solitary sh*t that a teenage girl also goes missing?

In an attempt to rectify this egregious mistake ahead of the second season (which will actually explore Barb’s disappearance, allegedly), Netflix released this short video of an “archival newsreel from 5 WIYZ Hawkins, Indiana.” In the clip, anchor Brenda Wood reports on the disappearance of Barbara Holland, a student she describes as “loyal to a fault to Nancy, the kind of girl who notices if you’re wearing a new bra and can really rock a pair of mom jeans, or — as we call them now — ‘jeans.'”

Of course that wasn’t the only big news in Hawkins, Indiana that week, as Woods also covered a bizarre shoplifting incident as Bradley’s Big Buy involving a vagrant juvenile who “escaped with an unprecedented number of Eggo waffles.”

Peter Murphy : Dust 2002

H Clipart και η Ramon Productions υποδέχονται τον μοναδικό Peter Murphy, την Κυριακή 8 Νοεμβρίου, στο Gagarin 205 Live Music Space. Front man των Bauhaus

PETER MURPHY στα πλαίσια του Secret Cover Tour (Europe):

26/09/09 Thessaloniki, Greece - Mylos
27/09/09 Athens, Greece - Gagarin

After disbanding Bauhaus in 1983, Murphy formed Dali's Car with former Japan member Mick Karn. Dali's Car only released one album, The Waking Hour, in 1984. Following its release, the duo broke up and Murphy hesitatingly began a solo career with a cover of Magazine's "The Light Pours Out of Me," which was featured on a 1985 Beggars Banquet compilation called The State of Things. In 1986, he released his first full-fledged solo album, Should the World Fail to Fall Apart, which featured a number of guest artists, including former Bauhaus member Daniel Ash. Two years later, Murphy released his second solo album, Love Hysteria. Like its predecessor, Love Hysteria received lukewarm reviews but sold well to his dedicated fan base.

With 1990's Deep, Murphy had a surprise hit -- the first single from the record, the Bowie-esque "Cuts You Up," became the American modern rock hit of the year, spending seven weeks at the top of the U.S. charts and crossing over to AOR radio and the pop charts, where it peaked at number 55. Following its success, Deep reached number 44 on the album charts. Murphy wasn't able to sustain that success with his next album, 1992's Holy Smoke, which only reached 108 on the charts, despite the number two modern rock hit "The Sweetest Drop."

In 1995, Murphy released Cascade, which was greeted with weak reviews. The album failed to chart in either America or Britain. While touring with a reunited Bauhaus in 1998, he recorded the solo EP Recall. The new millennium, however, saw a newly charged Murphy. Without a deal, he took to the road in support of the greatest-hits retrospective Wild Birds 1985-1995: The Best of the Beggars Banquet Years for two tours of the U.S. during spring and fall 2000. The latter tour, which was more acoustically based, showcased some new material and rare favorites. Still a cult mainstay with American fans, Murphy issued the live double-disc Alive Just for Love in summer 2001. This delightful set was released by Metropolis and featured Bauhaus tracks and solo hits. A year later, he hooked up with renowned world artist Mercan Dade for this sixth studio album, Dust. Unshattered followed in 2004. ( All )

Love conquers all for Spain's most colourful aristocrat

by The Duchess of Alba is proof that you're never too old to fall head over heels in love.

At the grand age of 85, Spain's most famous and wealthy aristocrat is preparing to marry for the third time.

A descendant of Britain's James II, the noblewoman is said to be able to cross the country from north to south without leaving her estates and has more titles than the Queen

Her fiancé comes from much more modest stock. Alfonso Diez Carabantes is a civil servant and long-standing family friend. At 61, he is 24 years her junior.

Opposition to the match came from some of her six children. But true love won through in the end, and the nuptials are reportedly scheduled to go ahead in September.

The engagement

The duchess – full name Maria del Rosario Cayetana Alfonsa Victoria Eugenia Francisca Fitz-James Stuart y de Silva – has outlived two husbands.

She grew close to Alfonso after her second –  free-thinking former Jesuit priest Jesus Aguirre y Ortiz de Zarate – died in 2001. (Her first marriage to the scion of a noble family lasted 25 years, ending with his death in 1972).

In 2008, the noblewoman, known as Cayetana, spoke to HELLO! magazine's sister publication HOLA! about why she was thinking about marrying again.

"I felt very lonely after Jesus died, and I developed feelings for Alfonso," she told HOLA!

"When you get to know someone and you like them, you end up falling in love a little, and I fell in love with him.

"At one point, he confessed that he had developed feelings for me over the years. At first, I thought he was crazy.

"Later it hit me – it was something that would fill any woman with happy pride."

The couple made plans for their future, but not everyone was as thrilled about the romance.

"The tough part was that my children didn't understand and they got quite angry with me," she explained.

"It's true that I planned to marry. We were both full of enthusiasm for the idea. I took a step back for my children.

"I saw that everything was going to be very complicated."

But the determined aristocrat – who is a constant presence at Spanish society events despite her increasing fragility – was not to be deterred.

Earlier this summer, she finally got her children on side by dividing up her vast wealth – thought to between 600m and 3.5bn euros (£524m and £3bn) – between them. The inheritance included a collection of estates, palaces and artworks.

Among them is a portrait by Francisco de Goya of her ancestor, the Duchess of Alba, who is said to have been the artist's lover and the model for his masterworks 'The Clothed Maja' and 'The Naked Maja'.

The ceremony

With sprawling residences in Ibiza, Seville and Madrid, the couple have plenty of venues at their disposal for the nuptials.

They have reportedly chosen the ancestral palace Las Dueñas in Seville (below) – the majestic 16th-century estate where Cayetana married her previous husbands and raised her six children.

The couple will tie the knot at the end of September or the start of October in the palace chapel. Guests are sure to include the cream of Spanish society.

Although it will be a high profile event, it will still pale in comparison with the duchess' first wedding.

When she exchanged vows with Luis Martínez de Irujo y Artazcoz, son of the Duke of Sotomayor, in 1947 it was described as "the most expensive wedding in the world".

Interest in their union was in danger of overshadowing the Queen's wedding to Prince Philip, which was held a month later.

Rumour has it that 20 million pesetas was spent – a great amount at that time.

This time round after marrying, the duchess and her new husband will honeymoon in Thailand (above).

The dress

Cayetana is known as something of a hippy for her distinctive style, which encompasses bold prints and bright colours.

And the aristocrat – who appeared on Vanity Fair's best-dressed list last year – is bound to make a statement with her gown.

Listen to Tim McGraw on iHeartRadio

Tim McGraw is leading the way on the new Country Albums chart with his latest effort, "Two Lanes Of Freedom." says fans picked up 107-thousand copies of the album in its first week out to propel it to the top spot on the chart.

But Tim is falling a little short on the all-genre Billboard 200.  He's entering that list at number two behind Josh Groban.  Groban's new release, "All That Echoes," saw sales of 145-thousand last week to easily land at number one.

"Two Lanes Of Freedom" is McGraw's first album under his new contract with Big Machine Records.  The album features the hit singles "One Of Those Nights" and "Truck Yeah."  It's Tim's 14th Country Albums chart-topper, and marks his 15th time in the top ten on the Billboard 200.
