agreed. I could do with much less of Stabler's family drama.

dude, I've been watching to see how they get rid of the girlfriend! she's just a hurdle! but *spoiler?* she may be gone as of last week, so you can continue watching again. (it was totally anti-climactic and weird, and so part of me is annoyed they didn't do anything crazy with her - like get her kidnapped and have…

I did check Wikipedia, which in my experience is pretty good about letting you know when cast changes occur between seasons, and it says he starts the series with 4 kids: Maureen, Kathleen, and the twins, Dickie and Lizzie. Dickie and Kathleen are the kids most often involved in things, so maybe that's why you…

care to elaborate? I honestly didn't care much one way or the other about the Biebs before, but I felt some active dislike from reading this, and I'd like to know if it's truly misplaced. I'm also morbidly curious if there is seriously a reasonable defense for saying this stuff.

but these aren't the only photos they used. subjects were shown images of nudes including these Crawford/Stallone images. and honestly, men are probably photographed in more "seductive" ways far less than women are. I'll bet you'd be hard pressed to find as many examples of men in poses similar to the Cindy Crawford…

I had the same issue with the Next Headlines thing, but it seems they added an UP arrow... maybe they are actually listening a bit? #redesign

I've been using Soundhound, and I honestly use it most often watching TV. Sometimes conversation (on the show with the song I want to find) ruins it, but I can usually get it out fast enough to catch a good section. I even put the app on my home-screen so I can get to it faster. (I'm usually looking for ideas of…

this happens in the states as well. my mom is hearing impaired so we always have the captions running at home. sometimes they go too fast and the punchline gets delivered in text before speech, and we all laugh too soon.

right, but the photos/portraits he used are at different ages. those top three images are 1. an 1843 photo of John Quincy Adams, 2. an 1818 portrait of JQ Adams (by Stuart), and 3. a digital adjustment of the portrait to have features more like the photo. But over nearly 30 years, things like cheek fullness and…

I checked the article and I'm kind of confused. He used the photographs taken later in life and compared them to portraits from when these men were younger and used those comparisons to create the algorithm? Wouldn't eyebrows sag on some men as they get older, thus making the difference between a portrait of a young…

Because it makes the lighting situation that much easier. With a solid physical background you have to make sure THAT is evenly lit as well, because shadows will not key the same as the actual color, and the higher your key color threshold, the more detail you risk losing in the subject. The computer screen is lit…

I'm honestly more surprised that dogs understand spoken words, sometimes. People just talk at dogs and then get annoyed they don't understand english. Your dog knows what you teach it. If saying "flufftastic" means it'll get a treat for opening the fridge, dog's gonna do it.

The way I was taught to train dogs started with hand signals (often molded from the action in a way) and then teach associated verbal commands.

A lot of dogs know hand signals. It's easier to start with hand signals and then teach them the words, so forming that into actual sign language seems pretty straight-forward. The interesting things about deaf dogs, to me, aren't things like that they can learn sign language, but how they learn things and adapt.

yeah, I don't know that the models were any more "passionate damsels" or "Amazonian" than the men, just the perception of them was.

there's only one picture. it's a screengrab of search results including many pictures.

um. have you tried copy/pasting the link to your FB wall? have you tried asking your question somewhere it's actually related (beyond this article being one of the ones you want to share)?

d'aww I love this. especially the print-out part - it's like a guest-book!
