"The Terrorists"

Unfortunately, because the Bush admin has overused the term terrorist to demonize any opponent of theirs, even political, labelling someone as a Terrorist these days has little or no meaning. In fact, oppressive governments around the world are now using this jargon to label just about anyone who opposes them as a terrorist, people whom me might classify as freedom fighters. This is what happens when you put someone, who can't spell, in charge of the only hyperpower in the world.

My complaints against Google

Why is it that the greatest search engine on the planet can't index my blog for greater searching on the web, at the very least, on google.com?

bloody. annoying.

The Illusionist vs The Prestige

Two movies that came out at the same time, both excellent, but here I cast my vote for the better of the two.

The Illusionist:
This movie is FANTASTIC. I don't like Edward Norton, but I LOVE him in this movie. Jessica Biel is a truly classic thespian in this film, great acting establishing herself as the greatest of the two modern 'Jessica' actors. Beautiful love story.

The Prestige:
Great movie. Good science. Truly inventive plot. I have no complaints of this film, in fact, only praise. I loved it. When compared against the Illusionist, I must place it second, otherwise hard to say how classic the film. Great plot, great acting (from the Reign of Fire dude at the very least, if not Hugh Jackman), and fun.

How to put multiple images into one figure in Latex

AKA, get four subfigures in one plot in Latex. easily:

After wasting an hour of my time, this is the answer:

\begin{figure}[htbp]
\begin{center}
\mbox{
{\bf a.}
\pdfimage width 3in {HLAarea2.png} \quad
{\bf b.}
\pdfimage width 3in {TEMPERATURE.png}
}
\mbox{
{\bf c.}
\pdfimage width 3in {magicplot_aug19_0830.jpg} \quad
{\bf d.}
\pdfimage width 3in {magicplot_aug19_1330.jpg}
}
\caption{Need better (a): (need better pic which indicates IW positions)}
\label{fig:1}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

The result (why does LaTeX and getting help with LaTeX have to be so difficult):

Batman Begins

Shooter -- Mark Wahlberg

I really like this movie for some reason. Probably because Marky-Mark kicks some arse.

"I don't think you understand, these boys shot my dog."

"Welcome to Tennessee, patriot state of shooting stuff."

Q: "You know this for a fact?"
A: "Still got the shovel."
