~The Warcraft Lore guide is intended to be viewed in a format too large for this forum.
~I have uploaded the Warcraft Lore Guide in three pieces to imgur.com so it may be viewed in its intended form, compete with (many) pictures.
~This guide is intended to give as short a synopsis of the History of Warcraft as possible while still hitting upon every major character and theme, and to provide images as references. The guide is for those playing World of Warcraft without proper knowledge of the Game's lore. As such, the guide ends where Vanilla Warcraft begins, and does not include the story of the game so far. Perhaps that will be my next Guide. :D
~Here it is in its plain text version:
Warcraft: Lore Guide
The Titans, benevolent, metal-skinned gods, set to bring order to the worlds of the universe, and guard them from the Twisting Nether, a dimension of chaos connecting the worlds and home to countless demons.The Titans elected Sargeras, their greatest warrior, to protect the worlds. He struggled for millennia destroying and capturing demons. After defeating unspeakably evil demons known as the Nathrezim, he fell into a depression that turned to madness and hate. He swore to destroy the Titans and their works.He freed the Nathrezim and began expanding his army. On planet Argus he found the Eredar, and promised their leaders untold power. Kil'Jaeden and Archimonde readily agreed, but Velen refused. He fled with his followers, known after as the Draenei. Kil'Jaeden and Archimonde became the leaders of this Burning Legion.
The Titans came upon Azeroth, and set to work molding it. They created assistants to help them, but strangely, these races slowly altered from their original form, becoming soft and fleshy. The Titans noticed raging elementals roaming this world and their powerful lords. Ragnaros, Al'akir, Therazane, and Neptulon all severed the same masters. The Old Gods were beings of unfathomable anarchic evil. It was their Curse of Flesh affecting the Titans creations; if they killed the Old Gods, Azeroth would fall to ruin. They banished the elemental lords and chained the Old Gods beneath Azeroth. They created a single Continent and placed at its center a lake imbued with unbridled energy as a font for life: the Well of Eternity.
The Titans empowered the leaders of the five Dragonflights to protect Azeroth. Alexstrasza the Red was given the power of life. Ysera the Green fell into a deep sleep and became guardian of the Emerald Dream, a realm of nature parallel to our world. Nozdormu the Bronze was given power over time. Malygos the Blue was given power over arcane magic. Neltharion the Black was given power over the earth. Ensured of Azeroth's Safely, the Titans left.
The Kaldorei, or Night Elves, settled on the banks of the Well of Eternity, which granted them strength, longevity, and intelligence. They met Cenarius, a reclusive forest demigod, who grew fond of them and taught them empathy for nature. Azshara, their queen, built a palace on the Well's shore and named her followers the Quel'dorei, or Highborne. They plumbed the Well's secrets, using its cosmic energies to develop primitive magic, and began to abuse it. The Druid Malfurion Stormrage and his teacher Cenarius warned them, but the now haughty Highborne refused to listen.
Their magic drew the attention of Sargeras. He desired the Well's energy, and Azshara agreed to grant him access to Azeroth. She and the Highborne made a portal for the Legion. Malfurion was concerned for his twin brother, Illidan, who practiced Highborne magic. He convinced him to leave with him. Cenarius enlisted the help of The Dragonflights, led by Alexstrasza, He also called to the Ancients, powerful forest spirits, to assist in the battle. Demons swarmed form the portal and laid siege to Kalimdor. This would be known as the War of the Ancients. Neltharion persuaded the other dragons to bind their powers to a golden disk, called the Dragon Soul, to defeat the Legion. He betrayed his allies and used it to lay waste to his fellow Dragonflights. Malfurion knew that the Well must be destroyed, but Illidan, desperately addicted to its energies, warned Azshara. Malfurion arrived to see her attempting to summon Sargeras himself, and their battle caused the unstable spell to buckle, collapsing the Well. A catastrophic explosion sundered Azeroth, destroying most of Kalimdor, and creating a great sea with a swirling maelstrom where the Well used to be. Azshara and her kin were horribly transformed into the Naga and cast to the bottom of the sea.
The survivors of the Sundering made their way to Mount Hyjal. They discovered, to their horror, the lake at the summit had been befouled my magic. Illidan had saved some of the water of the Well and poured it into the lake, witch formed a new Well of Eternity. Malfurion sealed his brother in an underground prison, and entrusted Maiev Shadowsong to personally guard him. Malfurion expressly forbid the future practice of magic. The dragons returned and made a pact with Malfurion to ensure the safety of the new Well. Alexstrasza placed a single magic seed within the lake which grew into a colossal tree named Nordrassil. Nozdormu enchanted the tree granting the night elves immortality. Ysera linked the tree to the Emerald Dream, binding Malfurion and the rest of the druids to it. As part of this pact, the druids agreed to sleep within the dream for centuries at a time.
As the centuries passed, remaining Highborne suffered withdrawals. Dath'Remar, their leader, insulted the druids for refusing magic, called a storm against the forests, and were banished. They sailed across the sea, landing in a land called Lordaeron. They rejected their heritage and embraced the sun, calling themselves High Elves.
The druids prepared for their long slumber and Malfurion said goodbye to his love Tyrande. It fell to her and her elite soldiers, the Sentinels, to protect the forests of Kalimdor. The sons of Cenarius, the Keepers of the Grove, also emerged to help maintain peace.
The high elves traveled Lordaeron searching for a new home. They suffered in the absence of the Well of Eternity, becoming pale and smaller. They met the barbaric Trolls of Zul'Aman, a heinous race they killed on sight. They settled in northern Lordaeron and built the kingdom of Quel'Thalas. This land was holy to the trolls, and suffered constant attack. Using powerful magic, they kept the trolls at bay, but were weary of its use. To guise their magic so the Burning Legion didn't detect it, they built runestones on the outskirts of their territory which also drove off the superstitious trolls. Quel'Thalas flourished for millennia, but the trolls returned and laid siege to the kingdom. Trolls also threatened the human tribes of Lordaeron. The Arathi tribe recognized the threat, and fought to unite the others to combat the trolls. United, they built Strom, capitol of the kingdom of Arathor in southern Lordaeron. Ambassadors from Quel'Thalas announced the fall of their kingdom to the trolls, and promised to teach select humans magic if they offered to help. The elves magic and the humans military might drove the trolls north, slaughtering the Amani nation. Grateful, the high elves swore loyalty to the Arathi bloodline, and headed north to rebuild.
The humans who were taught magic studied their new art, becoming powerful but conceited. The mages built Dalaran northeast of Strom. The city of magic flourished, but demons began to appear in Lordaeron. To keep demonic threat under control, the leaders of Dalaran consulted with the elves. Powerful mages from both nations met in secret north of Dalaran in the Tirisfal Glades. The Council of Tirisfal empowered a single mortal at a time to act as the Guardian of Tirisfal, and carefully guard against demonic threat.
More human cities began to grow, such as Gilneas and Alterac. They flourished and spread out, meeting and befriending the Dwarves. The lords of Strom abandoned the city and built a new one north of Dalaran they named Lordaeron, which became a mecca. The descendants of the Arathi bloodline reluctantly left their crumbling city and ventured south to the continent of Azeroth and established the kingdom of Stormwind.
The Council of Tirisfal made Aegwynn, a passionate human, the next Guardian. She vigorously destroyed demons where she could, but questioned authority and yearned to prove herself. As her powers grew, she sensed powerful demonic presence in Northrend. Venturing north, she found demons hunting the Dragonflights. They were too evenly matched against the demons, but prevailed with Aegwynn's help. As she vanquished the last one, an avatar of Sargeras appeared. Despite his immense hellish power, Aegwynn killed his physical shell. Fearing his return, she cast the shell down to an ancient city at the bottom of the ocean. His spirit, however buried itself in her soul and waited. The time came for her to give her Guardian powers, but she decided to choose her own successor. She seduced a mage named Nielas Aran and bore in secret a child named Medivh. The spirit of Sargeras migrated into the infant. She bestowed her powers to the boy, left him in the care of Stormwind, and disappeared. When Medivh reached adolescence, his guardian powers matured and Sargeras awakened. He fell into a coma, and a woke many years later, with Sargeras in control.
In and ancient forgotten city named Uldum, those once known as the Earthen awoke. They emerged from their chambers and named the lands around them Khaz Modan. They called themselves Dwarves and carved into the mountains a city named Ironforge. Dwarven society slowly grew too large for their mountain, but Modimus Anvilmar justly ruled over the dwarven clans. The Bronzebeard Clan held close ties with the king and were Ironforge's defenders. The Wildhammer Clan lived around the mountain and sought more power in the city. The Dark Iron Clan hid deep in the depths and plotted against their cousins. Ironforge erupted in war with King Anvilmar's death. The Bronzebeards won and banished the other clans. The Wildhammers traveled north and founded the kingdom of Grim Batol. The Dark Irons retreated south and vowed revenge. Years later, led by Thaurissan and his wife Modgud, they attacked Ironforge and Grim Batol to claim all of Khaz Modan. The Ironforge dwarves repelled and sent Thaurissan into retreat. In Grim Batol, Modgud used her dark powers to call fourth shadows and evil. When she fell in battle, her forces retreated, chased by the Wildhammers. They joined with Ironforge dwarves marching north to assist them, and went south to destroy Thaurissan. He attempted to summon a powerful minion to help him destroy his foes, but unwittingly released destruction at the hands of Ragnaros the Firelord, born again into Azeroth. He destroyed much of the surrounding mountains and created a volcano known as Blackrock Spire in his wake. Thaurissan died, but his ancestors and allies were enslaved by Ragnaros. The other clans retreated, and the Ironforges returned home. The Wildhammers, theirs befouled by Modgud's evil, were offered refuge in Ironforge, but refused, traveling to Lordaeron and building the city of Aerie Peak.
Kil'Jaeden plotted the Legion's second invasion of Azeroth and sought a new force to weaken its defenses. He discovered Draenor, refuge of Velen and the Draenei, and home to shamanistic Orc clans. He sought to corrupt the orcs, and whispered to an elder named Ner'zhul, using him to spread lust for battle and savagery among the orcs. He wished for the orcs to devote themselves utterly to war and death, but Ner'zhul resisted. The demonlord turned to Ner'zhul's apprentice, Gul'dan. Gul'dan greedily studied demon magics and became a powerful warlock, and spurred the orcs into becoming more and more vicious. Durotan of the Frostwolf Clan warned the orcs not lose themselves, but was drowned out by chieftains like Grom Hellscream of the Warsong Clan. To ensure their loyalty Kil'Jaeden and Gul'dan ordered the clans to drink the blood of the Pit Lord demon Mannoroth. Led by Grom, every clan except the Frostwolves drank, becoming the Legion's slaves, consumed by rage and bloodlust. Gul'dan chose Blackhand the Destroyer, to act as a puppet warchief and lead the Orcish Horde. They used to orcs to obliterate the Draenei, and once they were almost completely wiped out, they knew their army was ready.
Kil'Jaeden told Gul'dan of the Tomb of Sargeras, where Aegwynn sealed the husk of the avatar, and of the untold powers there. With Medivh on Azeroth and Gul'dan's warlocks on Draenor, they opened the Dark Portal, a bridge between the worlds. Durotan again spoke out against Gul'dan, and was banished to the farthest reaches of the new world. The Orcish Horde established a foothold south of Stormwind, coming into conflict with the humans. The First War broke out as the orcs launched themselves at Stormwind. King Llane Wrynn held up in the city, but Sir Anduin Lothar knew the battle should be taken to the enemy. The young mage Khadgar, Medivh's apprentice, told Lothar of his master's betrayal and helped him lay siege to his tower and slay Medivh. Orgrim Doomhammer of the Blackrock Clan grew worried of the orcs bloodthirst, again warned by Durotan of Gul'dan's evil. Gul'dan's assassins killed Durotan and his family, orphaning his son. In retribution, Orgrim killed Blackhand, took control of the Horde from Gul'dan, and captured Stormwind.
Lothar gathered survivors and fled to Lordaeron. Humans united their remaining kingdoms in the Alliance of Lordaeron. Lothar and his lieutenants, Uther the Lightbringer, Daelin Proudmoore, and Turalyon, enlisted the Dwarves and their Gnome allies. Lothar, last of the Arathi bloodline called on the high elves. The Orcish Horde brought Ogres from Draenor and allied with the forest trolls. The Second War raged as the Orcish Horde marched north, taking all of Khaz Modan. The Dragon Soul, once held by Deathwing, had begun to tear him apart. Now called the Demon Soul, he led the orcs to it so they may use it against Alexstrasza. The Dragonmaw Clan of orcs used the Demon Soul to enslave her and force her brood to fight for the Horde. They were nearly victorious again, when suddenly, Gul'dan betrayed his allies and withdrew his soldiers to find the Tomb of Sargeras. Bewildered, Doomhammer sent his men after Gul'dan, who raised the tomb from the sea, but found within it only death at the hands of demons. His clans were finished off by Doomhammer. Given time to recover, Lothar drove the orcs south, trapping their army in Blackrock Spire. Doomhammer and Lothar clashed, and Orgrim used his mighty Doomhammer to smash Lothar's sword, then killed Lothar. Turalyon, in the eleventh hour, rallied the Alliance, pushing the Horde south into the swamplands and destroying the Dark Portal, ending the Second War.
Ner'zhul gathered the orcs still on Draenor, planning to open more portals to new worlds. To do this he reopened the Dark Portal and sent his army to Azeroth to gather several magic artifacts. Though they found what they needed and quickly returned, king Terenas Menethil II of Lordaeron feared another invasion. He ordered Turalyon to lead an expedition through the dark portal to end the orcish threat. Even with Khadgar, Alleria Windrunner, Kurdran Wildhammer, and Danath Trollbane, he couldn't stop Ner'zhul from opening the other portals. Ner'zhul failed to see that the energy from so many portals would rip Draenor to shreds. Turalyon and the others, to save Azeroth from the same fate, selflessly stayed on the crumbling world to close the portal from their side. As Draenor was tearing apart, Ner'zhul escaped through one of the portals.
Orcs remaining on Azeroth were put in internment camps at the fortress of Durnholde Keep. Few clans of orcs remained free. Grom Hellscream's Warsongs evaded capture, while the Dragonmaw Clan still had the Demon Soul and therefore, Alexstrasza. A mage named Rhonin led a small group in destroying the Demon Soul and freeing the dragon, who decimated the Dragonmaws. Those orcs left in camps began to stagnate, their aggressiveness dwindled, and they turned lethargic. Durnholde was led by Aedelas Blackmoore, who took interest in an orphaned orc named Thrall he had found years ago. He taught him tactics, philosophy, and combat, seeking to mold him into a weapon. Thrall escaped and met Grom, who was trying in vein to rouse the orcs languishing in the camps. He learned of the exiled Frostwolf Clan, and upon meeting them, learned he was the son of Durotan. Thrall was taught the lost orc art of shamanism, and became a powerful shaman. The new chieftain of the Frostwolves set out to free the orcs and cure them of demonic corruption. Thrall met the hermit Orgrim Doomhammer, who helped Thrall in giving their people hope. In the assault on Durnholde, Orgrim fell, and Thrall took up the Doomhammer. He slayed Blackmoore, and freed the orcs, becoming the warchief of the new Horde.
Ner'zhul arrived in the twisting nether standing before Kil'Jaeden. For his defiance, Kil'Jaeden tore him apart but kept his spirit intact. He pleaded for death but the demon had other plans. He needed another army, merciless, single minded, and obedient. Ner'zhul was placed in a block of ice and given terrible powers, becoming the Lich King. He was cast down to Azeroth and landed in Northrend, and began to spread his vile influence. He created a plague of undeath, which would quickly kill and raise the infected as mindless undead. He used this plague to master every man in Northrend. The evil Nerubians, who lived in the underground kingdom of Azjol-Nerub, were immune to his plague. He invaded their vast network of underground caves and slaughtered and personally resurrected every nerubian. He was ready to begin his invasion. The Lich King called out to any who would listen. A powerful necromancer named Kel'Thuzad, a mage formerly of high regard in Dalaran, heard the Lich King's whispers, and abandoned everything to follow the voice. He traveled to Northrend and swore himself to the Lich King. He was left alive and sent back to Lordaeron to gather followers. He created the Cult of the Damned, and promised his agents an eternal life of equality. They were used to spread the plague across Lordaeron, and as the undead marched across northern Lordaeron, the Lich King's Scourge was born.
The Alliance of Lordaeron was splintering. King Terenas was straining them financially to rebuild Stormwind. With Lothar dead, the high elves parted ways. The Kingdom of Gilneas seceded, and sealed themselves behind a huge wall. Dalaran, Stormwind, and Ironforge stayed Loyal. The Kingdom of Lordaeron fell under siege by the Scourge. Uther and his paladins fought the scourge, unable to thwart its advance. His student, Prince Arthas Menethil, son of Terenas, rose to fight the scourge and killed Kel'Thuzad. The Scourge continued on, and Arthas grew maddeningly desperate to conquer it. He tracked the scourge to Northrend and discovered the cursed runeblade Frostmourne. The powerful sword stole his soul and made him a death knight of the Lich King. Arthas marched home, murdered his father, and crushed Lordaeron. Arthas was ordered to resurrect Kel'Thuzad by using the Sunwell, the high elves' mystical font of energy. They attacked Quel'Thalas, and despite the efforts of Sylvanas Windrunner, the Arthas decimated the high elves and raised Sylvanas Windrunner for the Scourge. Arthas Submerged Kel'Thuzad's remains in the Sunwell, befouling it, and resurrecting him as a powerful Lich. They headed south to Dalaran to obtain the spell book of Medivh and summon Archimonde to Azeroth for the Legion's final invasion. Archimonde trampled Dalaran and led his demons to follow the Scourge to Kalimdor to destroy Nordrassil.
A lone, mysterious prophet, beckoned the mortal races to Kalimdor. Thrall lead his people to Kalimdor, befriending Vol'jin of the Darkspear Trolls and Cairne Bloodhoof, leader of the Tauren. They fought with the night elf Sentinels, and Grom began to feel the demonic bloodlust. He again drank the blood of Mannoroth, and killed Cenarius. He redeemed his honor by destroying Mannoroth and ending the orcs' blood curse, at the cost of his own life. Tyrande battled the demons and the undead, and woke Malfurion and the druids from their slumber for help. She also misguidedly freed Illidan. The prophet had much trouble convincing the humans to help in Kalimdor but eventually found the mage Jaina Proudmoore, daughter of Daelin. She stole away with half of her father's fleet for Kalimdor. She clashed with the orcs and the Sentinels upon arrival, but as Tyrande, Thrall, and Jaina were all about to battle, the prophet appeared. He revealed himself as the spirit of Medivh, back to redeem himself. He united the Sentinels, the humans, and the Horde to protect Hyjal. Unified, they defended Nordrassil and the Well of Eternity, destroyed Archimonde, and extinguished the Legion.
Free again, Illidan consumed the skull of Gul'dan and gained horrific powers and twisted demonic features. Kil'Jaeden, fearful the Lich King had grown too powerful, offered Illidan more power if he could destroy the Lich King. Illidan beckoned the naga for assistance. With their help Illidan found the Tomb of Sargeras and claimed the demonic avatar's remains. He traveled to Dalaran, and strengthened by the city's power, cast a spell to destroy the Lich King frozen in Northrend. Moments from victory, he was stopped by Maiev. He fled through the Dark Portal to the broken remnants of Draenor, now known as Outland.
Lordaeron and Quel'Thalas were toxic plaguelands. One group of survivors were elves led by Kael'thas Sunstrider. He called his people Blood Elves to honor their fallen. He allied with Illidan and the naga, and left for Outland.
Reeling from Illidan's spell, the Lich King Ner'zhul knew his time was short. His grip had slipped on the Scourge and half of the undead under his control were free. Led by Sylvanas, and calling themselves the Forsaken, they staged a coup for Lordaeron. Arthas, busy fighting them, was called to Northrend. He used Frostmourne to release Ner'zhul's enchanted helm. As he dawned the helm, Arthas Menethil and Ner'Zhul became no more. They fused into a being that was only the Lich King.
Thrall and his orcs settled in Kalimdor and named their new land Durotar after his father. The Horde was now a coalition dedicated to survival rather than conquest. They were joined by the Tauren and The Darkspear trolls, and allied with Sylvanas and her Forsaken. Jaina build the port city of Theramore and helped to form a tentative peace with the orcs. Her father arrived with the other half of his fleet. She faced the terrible choice to betray Thrall and the orcs or her father. She selflessly sided with peace and did not stop the orcs from destroying Daelin's fleet. Though they lost Lordaeron, and despite Dalaran sealing itself magically away from the world, the Alliance coalesced. The Dwarves of Ironforge, led by Magni Bronzebeard remained loyal, as did the Gnomes under High Tinker Mekkatorque. Stormwind, the last remaining human kingdom was ruled by the young Varian Wrynn. They were joined by the night elves who were still having conflicts with the Warsong Clan.
~Where this story ends, the World of Warcraft begins. It is in the making, and through its years, many things have come to pass. For more information, a play-through of all 3 Warcraft games is recommended. There are also several novels and comics that expand on the story. Browsing wowpedia.org is the quickest way to find out more about each character or event. I hope you enjoyed this brief (as brief as I could make it) overview of the History of Warcraft.

Here's the article:
Sığırcı, Ö, Rockmore, M., & Wansink, B. (2016). How traumatic violence permanently changes shopping behavior. Frontiers in Psychology, 7, 1298. http://dx.doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2016.01298
Because Frontiers in Psychology is an open access journal, you can read this article here. However, you might want to look at the annotated copy that I've made available here, where you will also find a couple of other relevant files.
When I first read Sığırcı et al.'s article, I didn't pay it too much attention, partly because Tim van der Zee, Jordan Anaya, and I were busy enough with the pizza papers, and partly because its conclusions seemed plausible, even obvious: Long-retired military veterans who experienced heavy or frequent combat are more cautious, conservative consumers than those who only experienced lighter or infrequent combat. After all, there's an old military saying: "There are old soldiers, and bold soldiers, but there are no old, bold soldiers". Maybe a degree of caution helps you survive in war, and also carries over into whatever makes you a careful consumer. However, after a few weeks of exploring the rest of the output of the Cornell Food and Brand Lab, I decided to revisit this article and see what else I could learn from it.
The usual Cornell comedy stuff
Let's start with the self-plagiarism. It's actually quite mild, compared to what we've seen; about 350 words of the 500-word method section are copied (absolutely verbatim this time, including the typos; no tweaking of occasional words, as we saw in other cases) from this article:
Wansink, B., Payne, C. R., & van Ittersum, K. (2008). Profiling the heroic leader: Empirical lessons from combat-decorated veterans of World War II. The Leadership Quarterly, 19, 547–555. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.leaqua.2008.07.010
I will spare you the usual yellow-highlighted image here, but you can see the duplicated text in the annotated versions of the files here.
Some other things that regular readers of this blog and Jordan's will be expecting are GRIM inconsistencies (i.e., means or percentages that don't match the sample sizes) and F statistics that are not consistent with the reported means and standard deviations. And these readers will not be disappointed. There are 26 GRIM inconsistencies in Table 1, and seven out of the eight F statistics in Table 2 are inconsistent, as is one in Table 3. (Actually, this is a little unfair. The inconsistent F in Table 3 is probably the result of both of the standard deviations on the same line in the table being wrong.) All of these problems are visible in the annotated copy of the article here.
So we could have included this article in with the four pizza papers; it would have fit right in with the quality of those (and other articles from the same lab going back ten or more years). But just to blog about it now on that basis would be like publishing a news story saying that the President of the United States was rude and badly informed during a press conference: headline news in 2016, not so much in 2017. The real fun starts when we look closer at the most basic numbers in the study (indeed, in any study), namely the demographics of the sample.
The unique selling points
Let's start with the ages. This survey was done in the year 2000. We don't know exactly when, but let's assume it was January (as we'll see, the results would have been even more extreme if participants had reported their ages in December). These are veterans of combat operations in World War 2, which ended on September 2, 1945. Assuming that these veterans were not underage volunteers who lied about their age to join the military, their minimum age on that date must have been about 18 years and 2 months, allowing time for basic training and shipping out to the Pacific theatre of operations. So the youngest of these veterans would have been born in July 1927 and been 72 years of age in January 2000.
Now look at the standard deviations (SD) for the ages. They are quite high, especially when there is not much room on the low side of the mean. In fact, those SDs constrain the pattern of ages quite severely. James Heathers kindly used his new tool, SPRITE, to build a series of possible distributions of ages matching this constraint (plus a supplementary one that none of the respondents should be older than 105 at the time of the survey, because otherwise it proposes a whole bunch of people aged over 120). Here's what a typical such distribution looks like:
What this means is that, if those means and SDs are correct, 200 of the 235 respondents were between 18 and 18.5 years of age at the end of WW2, having presumably experienced repeated heavy combat only in the last few months of the war. There were one or two slightly older soldiers, and then a bunch who were 50 at the time (and so were 105 years old in 2000). Almost none of the soldiers can have been aged 19, or 20, or 21, if these numbers are correct. That is, if the sample is at all representative of actual US combat veterans from WW2, almost nobody who joined at 21 in 1941, or 18 in 1943, survived until 2000 (whether they were exposed to heavy or light combat).
Even more interesting, however, is just how many of these young men, who fought their way to glory at Anzio, Omaha Beach, and Iwo Jima, must have been... women. Have a look two lines further down in the demographic data:
Among these veterans, 79.3% who saw heavy combat and 80.3% who saw light combat identified in 2000 as men. Now I'm going to go out on a limb here for a moment and guess that only a very small proportion of these men came out as transgender since 1945. With that assumption, the implication here is that 20% of these veterans of heavy combat are, and were at the time, women. (*)
This has to be the historical scoop of the last 70 years. The role of American women outside the US in World War 2 has up to now been believed to be mostly limited to nursing, well away from the front line. Woman only officially obtained the right to serve in combat roles in the US Army in March 2016. Yet here we have evidence to suggest that many women took part in combat of all kinds in World War 2—making up about a fifth of all soldiers who were involved in combat operations. How come we've never seen this in all those war movies? Can it just be due to sexism on the part of Hollywood producers? Why can't the true story of the hundreds of thousands of 18-year-old women whose courageous combat liberated the world from the menace of the Axis powers be told?
[scratching sound of needle being pulled from vinyl record]
OK, fun's over. Let's be serious for a moment.
First, just to be clear, nothing in the two preceding paragraphs is intended to take a dig at women or trans people.
My purpose in this post has been to show that some of the absurdities in this article (and many, many more, whether from this lab or not) are visible to almost anyone who cares to read it. You don't need to know a thing about statistics to see that the implication that "20% of the US soldiers who saw combat in World War 2 were women" is absurd. You don't need to know much more about what distributions look like to see that a mean of 75 and an SD of 9 with a floor of 72 is going to lead to a huge right skew. And you can probably guess that, if a piece of work (whether a scientific article or a restaurant meal or a car) has problems like that visible from the moment you look at it, it may well have a bunch of other problems that you only need some simple tools to uncover.
This article appeared in what claims to be a peer-reviewed journal. The names of the reviewers and action editor are displayed on the article's web page. I'm trying to work out exactly how closely any of these people looked at the manuscript before approving it for publication, thus elevating it to the status of "science" so that people can write press releases. We seriously need to improve the way we go about reviewing. As it is, though, with some publishers, it seems that things may even be getting worse.
(*) Someone suggested that maybe there was a small percentage of women in the original combat roles, and that they became proportionately more numerous from 1945 to 2000 through having higher survival rates. I find this fairly unlikely, but since we are arguably conditioning on a collider here, I thought I'd mention it for completeness.

To get straight to the point: there are a lot of things you can do with your baby in the manduca. Sometimes even we are surprised by the variety of exercise possible with the manduca. However, some of you may be wondering what kind of sport with baby you can carry out and which activities are better avoided.
As a rule of thumb, you should always remember to keep one foot on the floor. When doing exercise with the baby, it is crucial not to make any sudden, jerky movements and NOT to jump. Another important issue is the age of your child, because the smaller a baby is, and the less head control she/he has, the gentler and smoother the movements should be.
Workout with baby: exercises you can perform
With the following physical activities, you are on the safe side, as long as one foot is always in contact with the ground:
- • hiking
- • Nordic Walking
- • Kangatraining
- • dancing (any type of dancing without jumps or sudden movements – that means: no Zumba or Rock 'n' Roll! Recommended is e.g. "Burzzi Dance")
Hiking and walking are typical manduca activities. The sportier ones amongst you could try Kangatraining. Kangatraining is healthy, safe and good for you and your child. Kangatraining was invented by Nicole Pascher and is a special workout specifically designed for the needs of mother and child. Here you can be sure that the trained coaches have made sure that all movements are safe and comfortable for the baby. And you get into a real sweat as Kangatraining is pretty intense! Why not try it out for yourself? Perhaps there is a kanga coach in your area, or just watch the Kanga DVD (in 4 languages German, English, Spanish and French).
More dancing is offered in special baby dancing courses, such as the Burzzi-Dance in Austria by Daniela Gebelhaider (carrying consultant and founder of Burzzi Dance). The Motto of Burzzi Dance is "We want to see you dance!"
Whatever you are planning to do sports-wise, make sure that you as parents can take the responsibility for it, especially when you are working out on your own and don't want to join a supervised fitness course. Because in Kangatraining and Burzzi Dance courses, babywearing advice is offered in addition to the exercise program – it takes place before the course starts! We think this kind of luxury is absolutely worth it – and we highly recommend it.
… but in the instruction it says: " … not suitable for use during sporting activities"?
In the manduca instructions you will find this:
WARNING: This carrier is not suitable for use during sporting activities.
The reason for this is quite simple: In Europe, the product safety of baby carriers is tested in accordance with the European standard (EN12309). According to this standard, instructions for baby carriers have to include specific warnings. And as these have to be as short, as general and as precise as possible, we don't find a detailed list of sporting activities. At first glance, this warning seems to exclude all kinds of sport – that literally means even chess. This calls for subtle thinking because not all sports are alike.
Riding and riding a bike
Quite often, we are asked if it is possible to get on a bike with the manduca. The answer is no!
In Germany, this is not only our recommendation, it is simply not allowed due to the German road traffic regulations which stipulate that a special seat is required for the transport of children on a bike. And as the manduca is clearly not a special bicycle seat, the rule is that children in the manduca are not to be transported on a bike.
Another question we have heard concerns horse riding with children in baby carriers. We would strongly advise against this! It is simply too dangerous for the small child's body because horse riding is a jerky, bouncing activity that involves the risk of falling and other accidents. Please find someone to take good care of your baby before you take to the saddle!
No sports – these are absolute no-nos in the manduca
To summarize: with your child in the manduca you should
- • not ride a bike
- • not drive a car
- • not climb or hike on Alpine trails
- • not ski
- • not dance Rock'nRoll or Zumba
- • avoid high-impact exercises, that involve jerky, bouncing movements and jumps (rope skipping, trampoline, ball sports, jogging, zumba, and so on.)
Be active – while safely babywearing
So please leave your (motor) bikes and horses in the stable when you carry your baby in the manduca, and instead go for gentle walks. The majority of low impact activities are okay. Here, nothing can happen to your child because low impact means you keep one foot on the ground and no heavy jumps with both legs are involved.
If you are unsure, you are welcome to contact us with your question! And before you begin exercising right after giving birth, please ask your midwife about when to start an exercise program. She will know when you are ready to start fitness training again.

spray booth design6/29
I am converting a 12' x 20' shed into a spray booth. My plan is to put a 24", 4,100 cfm fan in one end and build a filter wall in front of it. The filter wall will have a 5' x 8' grid of filters. The air inlet side will have a connecting tunnel to my shop with squirrel cage fans to provide positive pressure in the spray booth. This will also draw heated/cooled air from my shop. Attached is a picture of my plan...
Does this make sense? I believe 4,100 cfm will give me 100 fpm air flow. Does anyone have experience with this size room and fan? I am worried that the fan is overkill.
I would add more intake air duct openings on the wall opposite the exhaust wall to create a more even air flow across the room
The squirrel cage fan will need to provide more that 4100 cfm to provide positive pressure, otherwise its a waste and will do nothing.
Much larger fan and your intake should be 2/3 larger than exhaust. Exhaust should be able to pull air through easily so you don't create a wind tunnel and exhaust should be on south side of building if possible.
Thanks for the comments.
Sam...what do you mean by 'Much Larger Fan'? Also, I'll give...what does the south side of the building have to do with anything!!??
what is the height of the room
rules of spray booth width x height x 100fpm is commonly used with spray booth mfg
good luck
There are several major problems with your plan. Suggest you find an HVAC pro and they can advise on the basics. According to your plan you'll end up very negative in both rooms and where the inlet is needs to encourage air flow in a straight line to your exhaust wall. If you open those double doors wide open you'll be a lot closer to supplying adequate air for that fan. I would cancel any plan to draw air from your conditioned space- It will only cause another set of problems esp if you have a forced air system running there.
you show on the drawing that the ht of the exhaust filter area is 5 ft high,i would recommend this, if your room height is 12ft clear i would go with a 10ft high plenum as you want a good laminar flow, also what size ductwork are you using from the main bldg to the spray area, you need to look at the pressure drop going thru the supply ductwork.
Use a three phase fan motor and control the speed with a VFD (variable frequency drive). Run it at full speed when your spraying and then slow it down when curing, this way you won't waste heat in the winter and AC in the summer.
You want a nice smooth/gentle flow not a lot of turbulence. I'd ditch the little 24" fan (probably noisy as well) for at least 30" and possibly a 36" belt driven multispeed fan. I would also not have air coming from the side bouncing off the far wall before exhausting. I'd screen off those double doors with filters and you should be good to go and clean.
Your fan with 4100 is way to small, like Herb said you need 100fpm at the face of the booth, example for a 10 x7 open face booth would require a 7000cfm fan.
Thanks for all the comments...I've learned a lot and have a lot to think about. I would like one piece of clarification. From the comments and from reading previous forum entries I understand the size of the fan is determined by the width x height x 100 fpm. However, is this the size of the total wall (in my case 11' wide x 7' high) or the size of the filter opening in the wall (in my case 8' wide x 5' high)? This would dictate either a 7,700 cfm or a 4,000 cfm fan.
From what I can find air requirement is based on the size of the filter wall. Also note that in the case of large booths 50CFMs is allowable. So technically your 4100cfm fan would do the job 8x5x100=4000. I would still go with the larger/quiter multispeed belt drive fan. Then you can adjust air flow to meet your situation. Also it's not just about safety but getting good finish results
"To calculate the amount of exhaust air needed for the booth, a simple calculation is used. CFM = Booth Face Area in square feet multiplied by the required flow (typically 100 FPM)
For example, and 8 X 10 filter bank (80 square feet) would require an exhaust of 8000 CFM (100 X 80) to achieve the required 100 FPM velocity.
To calculate the existing velocity knowing the exhaust volume the following formula is used:
Velocity = Exhaust in CFM divided by the booth filter area.
For example, a fan that exhausts 9000 CFM with a 10 X 10-filter bank would have a velocity of 90 FPM.
good luck
You're getting on track now. As drawn you would have 100fpm but only right at the filter wall. 5' in front of the filter wall would be significantly less air movement.
You could build out sidewalls and ceiling from the filter wall that match the dimension of your filters but I'm sure you probably can't work with 5' ceiling ht. BUT within that confined space and at the very front of it where the walls stop you would technically be capable of 100 fpm.
This is why you see open face booths usually have walls and a ceiling that basically match the filter wall- you constrict the larger space down so you increase the air flow to what it needs to be within the booth. As soon as you get outside the booth your airflow drops.
I stress "on paper" and "technically speaking" because there are other issues that affect proper air flow that have to be factored in so the math is not as simple as it might seem.
I encourage professional help with a booth installation.
what are your plans for a sprinkler system?
A 240ft² shed needs a sprinkler system?
doesn't matter size of the building. go ask your fire marshal or insurance agent.

Hair DryersA hair dryer is an electromechanical device designed to blow cool or hot air over wet or damp hair, in order to accelerate the evaporation of water particles and dry the hair. A hair dryer blows out warm air to dry hair faster and aid in styling it. Countless movies, television shows and commercials have featured a row of women in a salon, hair in curlers, sitting under dryers and reading magazines. When the hair came out of the curlers, it required only combing to style. A hair dryer is a necessity for the daily grooming of your hair. It helps you get the desired style on your hair. If you have the skill, you can straighten or curl up your hair with the same hair dryer. Though your skill carries a lot of importance in styling of your hair, yet using a right hair dryer is equally important.
It is essential for hairdryer users to understand each different type in order to select the one that suits them the best. Due to the advanced technology used in modern hairdryers, the blow dryers of yesterday have become obsolete. The new and improved hairdryers of today use technology that have significantly reduced the overall time it takes to dry hair, after using the hairdryer the hair feels much more soft and smooth.
Here are some of the different types of hair dryers:
1. Traditional hairdryers or blow dryers include the same products which were also in use three generations ago. Although the outlook of the hairdryer now made is different from the traditional blow dryer, the internal parts of the hairdryer are similar to those of the blow dryer. The parts include a metal coil that produces heat and an electric motor which passes the hot air out of the nozzle of the dryer. But the results of traditional hairdryers were not the best ones; they left hair frizzy and rough because they couldn't dry hair evenly and thoroughly.
2. Ionic Hairdryers- Use the new technology of negative ions, which lock in the natural moisture of hair. It produces hair that is glossy, healthy and thick. With the use of negative ions, the drying time of the hair is also significantly reduced.
3. Ceramic Hairdryers- have solved the problem of uneven heating, as a ceramic hairdryer evenly and thoroughly dries hair. They also have the smart technology of reducing temperature when it gets too high. In order to achieve this, generally ceramic hairdryers have more than one heat setting. They can cost more, but it's well worth it to care for hair properly.
4. Tourmaline Hairdryers- are manufactured using tourmaline which is a mineral that gives out a large number of negative ions if warmed, the production of negative ions is far greater than that of a ceramic hairdryer. Tourmaline is used in other types of hairdryers as well, which clearly ranks it as the best one.
Choosing a hairdryer which suits an individual's hair the most is very vital because not all types of hairdryers suit everyone. When buying a hairdryer, user should always go for quality because a person's hair is very important and there should be no compromising when it comes to hair.
Choose the Best Hair Dryer
Many experts would consider a good hairdryer to be one with a high wattage, since it will typically put out more heat than hair dryers with low wattage. When choosing a good hair dryer, however, consider one with varying heat and speed levels, as well as a cold shot button. Good hair dryers will also usually come with a couple attachments, and they will usually be very lightweight. Newer ionic hair dryers may cause less frizz and flyaway hair, but they are usually more expensive than regular hair dryers. Wattage should be one of the first things to consider when searching for a good hair dryer. The higher the wattage of a hair dryer, the more heat it will put out. This will usually result in a fast drying time. Most experts recommend that most people, especially those with very thick hair, invest in a hair dryer with at least 1,800 watts.
A good hair dryer will also have a number of settings and adjustments. Users should be able to adjust the temperature of the air flowing from the hair dryer, for instance. The speed of the air flowing out of the dryer should be adjustable as well. Cold shot, or cool shot, buttons cause the hair dryers to blow just cool or room-temperature air. Most hair-care experts agree any good hair dryer should have a cool shot button. Not only is the burst of cool air better for the hair, but it also helps reduce frizz and hold a hair style. Depending on their hair type, some individuals will argue that a good hair dryer should come with a couple attachments. A diffuser attachment, for instance, is excellent for curly hair since it helps prevent frizzy curls. Airflow concentrators are narrow hair dryer attachments that are useful for straight hair.
People with very long or thick hair will often get tired of holding a heavy hair dryer. For these people, a good hair dryer will also be very lightweight. Hair dryers designed for professional use are usually more lightweight than standard hair dryers, although they will also often be more expensive. Along with lightweight hair dryers, professional hair stylists may also prefer ionic hair dryers. Standard hair dryers typically blow positive ions toward the hair, which can cause the hair cuticle to open up, resulting in frizz. An ionic hair dryer, on the other hand, is designed to blow negative ions toward the hair, which can help prevent less frizz and static electricity.
Each person's idea of a good hairdryer will usually depend on her specific wants and needs. While professional hair dryers may seem superior, they may also can be expensive. Most users will find that many standard hair dryers will generally suit their personal needs, as well as their budgets.
Features of the Best Hair Dryer
1. Nozzle: You will find hair dryers both with and without a nozzle. The one with nozzle focuses flow of air onto the hair. On the other hand, the hair dryer without a nozzle disperses the flow of air instead of concentrating it in one direction.
2. Setting: The best hair dryer for anyone must have minimum two settings. A cold or cool setting hair dryer will suit fine, thin, damaged or fragile hair. A heat setting hair dryer will suit thick hair.
3. Power: The hair dryers available in the market will range from 600 watts to 2, 000 watts. To make a decision to go for a hair dryer with low or high power, you need to know which type will better suit your hair type. If your hair is fine, thin or damaged, you need to use a hair dryer with power between 1, 200 and 1, 500 watts of air speed. Such a hair dryer is also suitable for if you have fragile curly hair. In case, your hair is medium straight and is neither fine or damaged, you can go literally for any range of power. Lastly, if your hair is thick and wavy and takes time to dry, then you need to have a hair dryer with 1, 875 watts.
4. Speed of Air Flow: You need to go for a low speed hair dryer if your hair is soft, fine and damaged. You need to use a high speed hair dryer if your hair is thick, coarse and takes long to get dried. A point worth mentioning here is that if a hair dryer is equipped with a flat or round brush to form a particular style with hair, you should go for a low speed one. This is because, the higher the watts of air flow, the faster is the speed of drying. As a result, the drying process involves higher risk of over blowing of the hair.
5. Diffuser: Diffusers assist the setting up of curly or wavy hair. A hair dryer with a diffuser makes use of the diffused air flow to help the hair strands acquire a natural shape. They are additional attachments which come in either short or long finger designs. A long finger diffuser is the one which appears to be elongated for lifting and separating hair strands.
6. Ionic Technology for Frizz Free Hair: You may find hair dryers equipped with double-port ionic features. They emit negative ions to neutralize positive ions. Because of this, such hair dryers promote shiny and healthy hair. Though ionic infused hair dryers generate frizz-free, static free, soft and shiny strands, yet they may cause flattering of the hair.
Features of a Cordless Hair Dryer
1. Portability: Portability is undoubtedly the most sought after feature of a cordless hair dryer. Since, it does not depend upon an electric socket for its functioning, you can pretty much use it anywhere you like. You can simply pack it in your gym back and use it to blow dry hair after a workout. You can also carry it in your office bag, if you intend to go for a party after work. You can also pack your cordless dryer while on a vacation. They are also available in their wall mounted versions. This allows you to save a lot of space in your dresser or bathroom.
2. Battery Operated Hair Dryer: It comes as a rechargeable devices. It is operated on a rechargeable battery. Thus, when the battery gets exhausted, you can simply plug it in an electric socket and charge it. This alleviates any need for a continuous supply of electric current or electric socket for that matter.
3. Lightweight: It is not as bulky as a hair dryer with a cord. This allows you a lot of comfort while using it. Besides, there is no long cord to come in your way. Its lightweight also offers you better maneuvering while directing the airflow at your hair.
4. Settings: They are the best hair dryers as they come with several advance settings such as temperature control, variable apertures for airflow, etc. Although, it is true that cordless hair dryers take some time to achieve their maximum heating capacity, there are some which may attain it in 60 seconds. The settings for a hair dryer vary according to their brand.
5. Safety: Cordless hair dryers are a lot safer than the ones with cord. Since, your hair cannot come in direct contact with the live current, the risk of injuries due to shock is alleviated. There have been incidences where people have sustained injuries due to hair dryer coming in contact with wet hair.
6. Dual Volt Hair Dryer: Usually hair dryers are set at a standard voltage of 220 volts or 110 volts. In US, the standard voltage for hair dryers is 220, while hair dryers in other countries operate on a lower voltage of 110 volts. Thus, if you are required to carry your hair dryer to some other country, then it wouldn't function. However, this problem is solved by the use of dual volt cordless hair dryer. This hair dryer is designed to work on both these voltages. Thus, you won't face any problem while using it overseas.
Regardless of the kind of hair dryer you choose, look for one with multiple speed and heat settings for the most flexibility in how you dry your hair. Attachments for the end that allow a focused blast of air or a diffused one will also turn your hair dryer into a more multi-purpose machine. If you have curly hair, look for a diffuser dryer or one with a diffuser attachment. This allows the air to be spread over a wider space, and can help keep your curls from flattening or frizzing.
Blow-drying your hair has many benefits. It gives you the freedom to style your hair without going to the salon. It also makes your hair manageable throughout the day; but if you plan to blow-dry your hair daily, pick the best among the professional hair dryers in the market. Choose the one that will not damage your hair. Remember, heat can get your hair into so much trouble. In addition, since you will be taking charge of your hair every day, you have to learn how to care of it. Invest in good protective hair products to avoid the heat from frying your hair.

Here is my card for the Magical Monday over at There's Magic In The Air. This week's challenge was brought to us by Curt and we were suppose to use pop dots or foam squares to make something pop. I actually popped my sentiment only because I made this card a while back and thought I would have time to make another, but didn't. If I would have popped something up on my image it would have been the fence and maybe the white pumpkin and the goose on the right. I made this card with scrap pp so I can't tell ya who made it. The lace is from my mom and I punched out circles and placed 1/2 of them above and below the image and added some red rhinestones to each. I added a layered flower because it brought all the colors together and I loved what Dawn did with her ribbon when she sent her card to me so I lifted the idea and did three smaller versions! I colored my image with color pencils and it is actually a little more rich in color in real life.
Well, that's it for me, hope you enjoyed your visit, leave me some luvins and let me know what you think, I love hearing from you!

What or who is Salaf?
The manhaj (methodology) of the Salaf is to adhere to the Qur'aan and the authentic Sunnah as understood by the Salaf as-Saalih.
The word Salaf is a shortened version of the word 'Salaf as-Saalih', which means the 'Righteous Predecessors'.
It refers specifically to the first three generations of Islaam in which the Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) described as being the best generations of Muslims. The first, the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) and his Sahaabah (companions). The second, the Taabi'een (the followers of the companions). The third, the Tabaa'at-Taabi'een (the followers of the followers of the companions).
Generally, this term refers to all those pious predecessors who followed the way of the Salaf and who have preceded us in time. This is the true manhaj of Ahl as-Sunnah wa al-Jamaa'ah.

>>How they prayedFrom the lives of our pious predecessors:
UMAR (radiallaahu anhu) became unconscious after he was stabbed, and it was said: "Nothing would wake him up except the call to prayer, if he is still alive." They said to him, "The prayer has finished, O Leader of the Believers!" He woke up and said, "The prayer, by Allah! Verily, there is no share in Islam for whoever abandons the prayer." He performed the prayer while his wound was bleeding. (Sifat As-Safwah 2/131, As-Siyar 5/220)

Words of Wisdom
"If you do not find any sweetness and relaxation in your heart from a [good] deed, then you should suspect your heart. Verily, Allâh is grateful. That is, He must reward the doer of the deed for his deed in this world by a sweetness he finds in his heart, a stronger feeling of relaxation and a joy in his eyes. If the person does not find these things, it means that something has entered upon his deed [and made it not correct and purely for Allâh's sake]." [Ibn Qayyim, Madârij, Vol. 2, P. 68]

CORCORAN, Calif., May 1 (UPI) -- A California inmate filed a lawsuit on April 21 against Beyonce, Jay Z, Kanye West, Rihanna and Chris Brown seeking $2.4 billion because of allegedly stolen song lyrics.
According to Richard Dupree, the pop stars conspired with agencies like the CIA, FBI and Homeland Security to steal lyrics he wrote while he was behind bars.
Re-Tox reported that Dupree claims the stars and government agencies stole 3,000 songs from him.
In the suit, Dupree alleges that the defendants "robbed [him] for hundreds of millions, even billions, in the satellite organization."
It appears that Dupree may have submitted his original paperwork incorrectly based on an order that Judge Carolyn Delaney issued on April 30.
"Plaintiff shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, a completed application to proceed in forma pauperis," according to a court memo. "Plaintiff's failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed without prejudice."

Killa! (Killa!), Dipset, man
Ayo you know I've been all over the motherfucking world, man
But ain't no place like Harlem, man
Let me break it down, man
[Verse 1]
We tie dynamite to the rhino type, wino might find yo' sight
Sell the information for a dime of white, that China-China
I'm behind the diner, selling marijuana to a minor-miner
Elder fella; looking for that shine? I'll shine ya
My mind designer. You a dime? I'll dine ya
Madonna momma, body bottled, you're fine. I'm finer
Time to climb her, climb behind vagina
Then I hymen-grind her 'til her mom remind her
Diamonds blind her; vision's gone, kiss her palm
Turn her arm, lift her arm, notice that her wrists is raw
"Gotta get it right ma, we gon' get along"
Said "how?" "don't trip," but, yo, the trick is wrong
First visi-on, day job tick-a-tron
Nighttime, Mr. Mom, bootleg Cris' and Dom
Brother Chris and Don, and their sister Carm
They sell yay', you'll say "yay, this shit's the bomb"
I'ma hit my man, tell 'em you my pick upon
The rest, so yes, you'll be blessed to hit the intercom
You know, kiss his mom, she gave him wisdom charm
And their father come from a long list of dons
And I get it cheaper, I cop bricks like sneakers
And if the cops come, I just hit amnesia
But I give you an earful, it's tearful
Told my mother I hustle and she said "be careful"
Why I feel like I'm losing weight?
Why I ain't got no money if I'm moving weight?
My life's based upon what I'ma do this year
Cop a boat, cop a Lear
Now the army suit's cute with my chocolate Airs
You ain't gotta stare, go cop a pair
Still the scrutiny, nothing they can do to me
I made sure my mother and girl is smothered in pearls
When a nigga under the world (Killa!)
[Verse 2]
Everybody like, "Cam got the recipe now!"
Not them 3 girls, I got to be Destiny's Child (gotta be me)
Specially equities, reckon we smile
Interfere, tech to tech and use the TEC that we wile
Detective deceptive, receptive of fouls
Hectic, Heckler & Koch
Helicopters on the set of my sales
Nah, I ain't gonna be embedded in jail
Talking to a cellmate in a bed in a jail, dog
I broke bread with the whale, fled from some seals (what else?)
And the house, I was the head of the hills, shit
You get a dumb ho, and get dumb-happy
Go to the gun show, get gun-happy (who are we?)
Stuck, killed, mugged, milled
Tone, flint, sticks, bo, Chub's milk (what up, y'all)
Pucci baba, but I got the hardest shells
We the Midwest gun cartel, nigga (nigga)
Ya, we'll just clap up your brains, snatch up your chains
See dog? Rap is my aim
But I'm a hustler, in my heart, trapped is the game
Attached to my frame, tapped to my brain, the fact still remains:
It wasn't rap, it was crack that got the racks on the Range
Look dog, don't be asking for Dame, see
Playboy, I don't own that man
And anyway, homeboy, you a grown-ass man, shit
And when I rap it ain't no punchline (not at all)
I be on the highway dirty, crunch time
No timeouts homeboy, just one time
If they find that stash box just one time
Shit, they'll put the dogs in the truck
Side of the road, holding you up, you cold as a fuck
They want that button, lunge it and push it
Soon as they lunge it and push it, I run in the bushes
That's how I play mine, jump over the grapevine
Take my chances one-on-one with the K9
Steel and a clip for anyone squealing they lips
Fuck y'all if y'all ain't feeling the Dips (Killa, Killa!)
Why I feel like I'm losing weight?
Why I ain't got no money if I'm moving weight?
My life's based upon what I'ma do this year
Cop a boat, cop a Lear
Now the army suit's cute with my chocolate Airs
You ain't gotta stare, go cop a pair
Still the scrutiny, nothing they can do to me
I made sure my mother and girl is smothered in pearls
Cam'ron fondly reminisces about his time in Harlem (his home town) and his experience in the drug game.

While the Butler Bulldogs failed to make the NCAA tournament last year after back-to-back national championship game appearances, it seems the Hoops Nation magic hasn't left the tiny squad from Indianapolis. Rotnei Clarke, the embattled Arkansas transfer, erased a two-point Marquette lead at the Maui Invitational with a buzzer-beating three that had no business finding the bottom of the net—and yet it did. Clarke's haphazard and manic dribbling down the court alone makes it a hell of a play. [ESPN2]

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
After many tries, today I came to the conclusion that Analysis Services 2005 SP2 breaks the Excel 2007 calculated member selection feature. I already talked about this issue here, but today I found the way to reproduce the error.
This is a scenario that works well:
Adding Analysis Services 2005 SP2 even only on the server, you get all the calculated members of the hierarchy or attribute selected, and they are all always visible.
In my opinion, this is a breaking change of SP2. I don't see any reason for this behavior. Remember, is is suffice to update the server to break calculated member selection on any Excel 2007 client, regardless of the client component version you use.
I posted a bug here: please vote the bug to get an higher rating if you think (like me) that this requires a promptly response from Microsoft.
UPDATE February 20, 2010: SQL Server 2008 R2 and Excel 2010 have solved the issue - you need both. Chris Webb posted a description of the fix.
I was tempted to start this post by this sentence "Analysis Services 2008 is not a new full release of
You know, selecting calculated members in Excel is not an option. I talked about this issue more than
I was able to get this to work for SSAS 2008 SP2. If you change the setting for MdxSubqueries in the msmdsrv.ini file from 15 to 1 and restart the AS service, Excel 2007 will allow you to select only some of the calculated members. Apparently, this issue was fixed since SAAS 2008 CU1 but this config setting was not published as the fix for this issue. In fact, I don't think there is much (if any) documentation about this setting.
Mamta, I investigated a little bit and the feature has been developed in SSAS2008 but it doesn't work with some features (selection of calculated members at different levels, inclusion of calculated members for Drilldown* functions.
Probably, this is an undocumented and unsupported behavior. Using 2008 R2 is the supported way.
Yes, Excel 2010 and AS 2008 R2 supports this more completely...
Excel had to change their query patterns to start including the calculated members in their drilldown requests -- that's why you need Excel 2010. It might work in some situations with Excel 2007 and AS 2008, but you may suddenly find some calculated members are missing -- or your TOP N filter returns you unexpected rows.
