493: Actuarial
Title text: I started to do the tables for more famous people but it got really depressing and morbid and I had to go outside. Hat guy wins again.
[edit] Explanation
Once again, Black Hat is provoked into on-line retaliation bordering on the sociopathic, choosing a form of retribution that doesn't necessarily break any written rules but strikes directly at the heart and/or mind of his opponent. Cueball reflects that he doesn't wish to become the target of such ire himself, but (without apparent malice on Black Hat's part) still suffers from a piece of memetic shrapnel from the original attack.
In the title text, it is said how Black Hat's offensive is so effective that he appears to have caused grief even to his own author and creator.
Randall has used this idea again in 893: 65 Years, and published a 'morbid' program that uses actuarial tables to calculate the probability that someone will die within a given time. The offence which provoked Black hat was returned to in 1258: First.
[edit] Transcript
- [A dialog between Cueball, seated at a computer terminal, and Black Hat, seated in an armchair reading a book. They are facing away from each other.]
- Cueball: I know you shouldn't feed the trolls, but sometimes they just provoke me to where I can't help replying.
- Black Hat: Yeah, me too. Yesterday this guy kept spamming "First!", so I got a set of actuarial tables and spent twenty minutes telling him when all his childhood heroes would likely die.
- [Cueball turns around in his chair.]
- Cueball: ...
- Cueball: Remind me never to upset you, ever.
- Black Hat: 2038: Last of the original Star Wars cast dies.
- Cueball: Augh!
I have no time for searching right now, but I'm sure there is a graph comic related to this sentence: "2038: Last of the original Star Wars cast dies." BTW: please create only pages with an proper explanation. --Dgbrt (talk) 16:45, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
While I'm not the guy/gal who created the page, I thought I'd supply a short explanation, to be refined as necessary. BTW, the linkies at the bottom suggest that this is a "Comic with colour", but I only see monochrome. Is this a human error, or is it an automated response to the supplied image (while being black on white, or maybe greyscale) 'officially' having a colour palette or something in its header? 126.96.36.199 23:35, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

A Penguin with an Egg: Growing the Open-Source Community
Esther Schindler came home from OSCON with thoughts on growing the size of the pool in open-source development communities. And it's all upbeat news.
Mon, August 04, 2008
CIO — The open-source community is no longer the sole province of technology geeks. The mood is shifting. As the mistress of ceremonies at OSCON (the Open Source Convention) commented: instead of open source trying to figure out its place in the enterprise, today the enterprise is seeking its place in open source. And that, among other trends, is causing changes in the community.
Which is not to say that open source isn't still remarkably geeky and willing to celebrate that personality attribute. SourceForge did offer free tattoos to the first 10 people willing to sport an open-source themed design, an offer that we're unlikely to see at a Gartner conference. Nor can I imagine most IT conferences offering session titles like Damian Conway's "Temporally Quaquaversal Virtual Nanomachine Programming in Multiple Topologically Connected Quantum-Relativistic Parallel Timespaces... Made Easy!" And I saw plenty of purple hair and outfits that would make my mother breathe softly, "Oh, my."
Yet, several OSCON sessions and one-on-one conversations addressed the community's self-conscious awareness of who and what it is, and how it might get better, bigger and more helpful to its members.
That was marvelous, and not just because a common theme was people working together in order to better work together. The open-source community has suffered from flame wars and (in a day-to-day way) political infighting, of the "My distro/project/framework can beat up your distro/project/framework" variety. This isn't unusual for communities dedicated to "alternate" solutions, whether it was IBM's OS/2 or Macintosh.
In battling the "enemy" (which in all these cases has been Microsoft) and with all the variations on the alternative certain that they see as the correct path (because once you start making choices you sometimes get lost in making more choices), the community wastes energy that should be used in moving forward. Since I've historically always been on the "alternate" side myself, it makes me think of a statement Rick Steves made in passing in Europe 101: History and Art for the Traveler: that the early German Protestants made no great Art. Resisting and responding to the Catholic church left them no energy or time for creating awesome edifices.
So I was particularly heartened to see a lot of attention going to streamlining and improving people and community issues. Individuals and open-source organizations are doing their darndest to ease the friction between wetware modules, and creating platforms that bring related projects together. Among them are attention to gender issues, training the next generation of programmers and attitude adjustments. I thought it might be appropriate to share a few verbal snapshots from that learning experience, especially since several are relevant even outside open-source circles.
Mark Shuttleworth Tries to Open the Inner Circle
My conversation with Mark Shuttleworth, founder of the Ubuntu Project, was all about building more viable and inclusive communities. His attention was particularly on making it easier for someone on the outskirts of a community to become part of the central core. Shuttleworth scribbled a drawing on the back of the press release for Launchpad 2.0, a hosting platform intended to bring projects together. At the core of any project are the "rock stars" who spearhead the effort, we agreed (a bunch of little circles were drawn in the middle of the page), and a group of active participants surround them who are committers or contributors in some way—the people whose names you see again and again in the discussion forums.
But (here Shuttleworth drew a circle around the clustered dots in the middle of the page, and the spread-out dots near them) most of the people who use the software are outside that inner circle. To bring them inside, or to expand the radius of the circle, the circle itself has to be permeable; it can't be a moat around a castle which others must scale to get inside. (By this time, the drawing looked like an amoeba with acne on a bad hair day.) It has to be easy for someone who merely thinks this is something "cool" to get involved and become part of the core team.
It isn't just about getting a single project to attract participants. Most open-source communities also have to interact and integrate their software with others (the forks of Linux itself, for example, or a content management system that needs to support an AJAX framework). People working on another project have to find it easy to work with this one. That's true on an interpersonal level, obviously, but it's also true of the code. A developer should be able to try out a modification with the full version of his or another's project; Shuttleworth called this "hackcessibility." And, he pointed out, it's necessary for a healthy ecosystem that encourages people to build on what others have done.
All that is interesting in open-source terms, but step back a moment. Is it any less true of the IT projects in your own company? We call them silos, don't we? The big difference between open-source development and enterprise development is that, as Shuttleworth said, "We attract people to the domain based on interest." How many business developers get to work on what they want to? And how many businesses are willing to allow their people to fail? Due to fear of failure (and your job being on the line), corporations buy innovation. Instead, the open source community encourages people to try new things by branching from the core project; if you can deliver something good, we'll merge it back in. That's a different way of creating innovation (not to mention leadership); is there a way for enterprise IT to adopt any part of this attitude?

Summary of The Fighting 69th Summary of The Fighting 69th Reviews for The Fighting 69th An Excerpt from The Fighting 69th
One of the most celebrated units in the military for more than a century, by 1990, New York City's Fighting 69th Infantry Regiment of the Army National Guard was scarcely fit for duty. Its equipment was derelict, its discipline nonexistent, many of its leaders inept, and its ranks filled with kids barely out of high school who had little intention of serving their country for any longer than it took to get their paycheck, college credit, or job training. Then came the attacks of September 11 and the invasion of Iraq. In The Fighting 69th, Sean Michael Flynn, himself a member of the unit, chronicles the extraordinary transformation of this band of amateur soldiers into a battle- hardened troop at one of the most lethal sites of war.

Evette G: I have been a fan of Opium for years...... I especially love to wear this scent in the winter months! Used Christmas money I received to treat myself! Hoping the scent is the same..... it seems when the packaging changed so did the formula?? Not sure but I guess I will find out and am hoping I LOVE what I ordered. Jan 14, 2013

Jo O: I also have been an exclusive Opium wearer for 30 years, I just purchased the Prestige Gift set and I haven't noticed that it is any different than previous sets I have purchased. It still smells the same to me. I'm so happy that YSL has brought back the Satin Body Powder.I just love all their Opium products! Jan 22, 2013
Reply to Jo Good answer? Yes (0) No (0)
A shopper asked: I agree with some of you who have said that the scent has changed. I too have been wearing opium for about 30 or more years. And the last bottle my hubby bought for me did not smell the same as the one before it. I am referring to the Eau de Parfume. I still had some left so I compaired the 2 and there is a definite difference. Seems like something has been left out or maybe an inferior substitute. It's hard to explain but it seems to be lacking the depth that the original had. I have not compaired the perfume or the body cream. WE CAN'T ALL BE WRONG, can we ? Sincerely, Deb Donnison Nov 10, 2013
Answer this · Send to friends Good question? Yes (2) No (0)
MARY K: I am not sure that I can answer that question fully, as I always tend to wear the body cream and the Eau de Parfume together. I still find it to 'my' scent, mixing luxuriously with my body chemistry, provoking rave reviews anytime anyone gets close enough to smell it against my skin. I would hope that Yves Saint Laurent with never want to do anything to compromise their wonderful fragrance, simply ever. Nov 13, 2013
Reply to MARY Good answer? Yes (0) No (0)
DIANN F: I have been wearing all the opium products for over 30 years as well. I agree that something has changed. I noticed that I have to apply more than I used to. However, I still love it and it definitely goes well with my body chemistry. I will continue to wear it as I still get many compliments. The body cream and the body oil are also great and I have not noticed the change there. I am still hooked!! Nov 10, 2013
Reply to DIANN Good answer? Yes (0) No (0)
Anna M C: Wow! I thought it was me. I started using opium when I was 20. Nothing ever compared to the scent or the reaction I received from others while wearing opium. It's been awhile since I had the money to treat my self and I noticed the difference. Also I haven't gotten one complement while wearing it. How about a nice size sample of Belle de opium Yves Saint Laurent? Nov 10, 2013
Reply to Anna M Good answer? Yes (0) No (0)
Veronica W: I agree, the scent is different. I do like the new fragrance, especially for warmer weather. The new scent us less warm than the original. I wish I could get both fragrances; the original for late fall through early spring and the new for the rest of the year. Also, I really miss the soap! Nov 21, 2013
Reply to Veronica Good answer? Yes (0) No (0)
Ashish S: Yes there's definitely a difference when when you compare the previous opium parfum to the new one. There is not difference in fragrance but the older one was more long lasting. But their body lotion is still the same. So i use combination of both parfum and lotion. Nov 10, 2013
Reply to Ashish Good answer? Yes (0) No (0)
Judith A asked: Why is the Holiday Opium Gift set on the web as if it were available??? Why not remove it so that we do not get to the point of placing the order when we see it is no longer available. I tried to purchase it in early November and had the same problem but thought that it would be different by Cyber Monday. This seems to be an advertising trick to lure the customer...but no product.

Note that this post follows Journey Into the Abyss - RichRod at Michigan. It is not necessary to read that one, but it might provide some additional continuity for those who are interested.
Imagine being in the situation where you have supervised a group but have now moved on. The new group you are joining still has its supervisor in place. Your new position will become available after the organization makes one more major effort, so you just have to sit in the background for a while.
The current supervisor tries to include you into the operations of the organization. He asks your opinion and introduces you to your future colleagues. Meanwhile the organization you will be joining prepares for its big event under someone else's direction.
You feel you were born to lead and are a person of action. You know you will get your opportunity shortly. But it is still hard not to backseat drive while the car is careening down the highway. It is both sweet and sour when the big event comes off successfully for the organization.
Your predecessor moves on and you move into his shoes. You have different – more modern – ideas about how to operate things. Some of the personnel are leaving as a matter of course, others will be leaving because they have no loyalty or stomach for you or your ideas. It is time to replace a large number of people who you will be working with, and replace them with people having different kinds of outlooks and talents than the organization has ever had before.
It is a task you have done before – and successfully! It takes time. The immediate productivity will be low. But you have confidence gained from previous experience that the long term results will be to ensure your new organization is much more competitive in the modern context than it was before. The alternative to your efforts, as you see it, is to let your new organization become second-class.
To complicate matters, your departure from your previous organization was less than amicable. Not only did customers get upset, but your colleagues seemed to have a different picture of your role there and of your departure than you did. Your leaving was, to put it bluntly, contentious and soon became litigious. Your family was insulted and your old home was vandalized.
Many of the customers and colleagues of your new organization seem to understand what you are trying to do, and accept the need to build slowly. They feel as you do that your new organization has to be brought into the twenty-first century, and it would not be easy to do that. But other customers have deep reservations about your plans, feeling that there should be a way to accomplish the goals without destroying what the organization has meant to them and to tradition.
It is January 2, 2008 and you are about to begin your rebuilding task even as some doubt the need to rebuild. You are competing for new personnel with traditional rivals across the continent, rivals who now seem to feel that they have an edge up on you because of your and your new organization's troubles. Through the long winter and the slowly brightening spring, you try pull your chestnuts out of the fire. You don't expect to win them all, of course, but you feel that you have taken credible first steps.
At the end of spring, you have your first attempt at training the combined old and new personnel. They are not yet what you want, but they are what you have to work with. They are skilled, but their skills are not always what you desire. And throughout the summer, you plan how to get the most out of those you have while keeping your ultimate goal in mind.
And two days before Labor Day, you have the opportunity to lead your organization for its first big event under your leadership. You hold your breath as your personnel move out to meet their challenge. You know they will do their very best but doubt whether their best is sufficient. The customers turn out a tenth of a million strong. Some are bleeding with you all the way, some would like to see you fall on your face.
But the season is under way. It is now August 30, 2008 and Michigan hosts Utah at football in the Big House.

Risk Management and Chemical Accident Prevention
Under the authority of section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act, the Chemical Accident Prevention Provisions require facilities that produce, handle, process, distribute, or store certain chemicals to develop a Risk Management Program, prepare a Risk Management Plan (RMP), and submit the RMP to EPA. Covered facilities were initially required to comply with the rule in 1999, and the rule has been amended on several occasions since then, most recently in 2004.
RMP Requirements
RMP *eSubmit
RMP Preparation and Submission
Accessing and Reviewing RMP Information
On March 13, 2009, EPA provided new software called RMP*eSubmit for facilities to use for online RMP reporting. EPA asks that all facilities use this new method to submit RMPs to improve data quality and to enable you to access your RMP 24 hours day, 7 days a week.
- How do I set up an RMP*eSubmit account?
- Note for New Jersey Facilities
- Users' Manual for RMP*eSubmit (160 pp, 9.2MB, About PDF)
- A Checklist for Submitting your Risk Management Plan (PDF) (7 pp, 132K, About PDF)
- Access RMP*eSubmit (Note: You must already have an RMP*eSubmit account to use this link)
- Can I still use RMP*Submit 2004?
- What if I am claiming Confidential Business Information (CBI): Can I use RMP*eSubmit?
- How do I Resubmit, Correct, De-register, or Withdrawal an existing RMP?
- For More Information
How do I set up an RMP*eSubmit account?
You will need a JavaRuntime environment to use the RMP*eSubmit system. To learn more about JavaRuntime, see
Java Downloads page
- Important Definitions
- Before you begin
- Step 1: Register the Certifying Official in CDX
- Step 2: Complete the Electronic Signature Agreement and mail it to EPA
- Step 3: Register the "Preparer" and activate RMP*eSubmit access in CDX
Important Definitions:
Central Data Exchange (CDX) is a secure, on-line location on EPA's network. CDX provides standardized and secure information collection services and infrastructure for EPA program partners. For example, CDX manages several EPA regulatory and monitoring programs, receiving submissions from facilities. Once you set up your RMP*eSubmit account, you will immediately be able to access your RMP through CDX.
Certifiers/Certifying Officials are facility owners or operators who must certify the accuracy and completeness of the information reported in the RMP. They have signed and submitted a one-time Electronic Signature Agreement (ESA) to the EPA. The ESA legally binds the Certifier's electronic submission to their signature. Only Certifiers can submit the RMP.
Preparers have been granted permission by a facility to access the facility's existing RMP. They prepare data for a new or updated RMP. CDX notifies the Certifier when the new or corrected RMP is ready for the Certifier's review and submission. Preparers cannot submit the RMP. Currently a facility can have only one designated Preparer, however an individual Preparer can prepare RMPs for multiple facilities.
Before you begin you will need:
- Your facility name, location, mailing address, and basic contact information (including e-mail address).
- Your facility identifier (facility ID#) which can be found in the letter that EPA sent to you acknowledging receipt of your most current RMP.
- NOTE: If this is the first time an RMP is being submitted for your facility you do not need a facility ID#.
Step 1: Register the Certifying Official in CDX
- To use RMP*eSubmit, the Certifying Official must have a CDX account.
- To register with CDX, please go to the EPA CDX page (http://cdx.epa.gov), and complete the registration process for a Risk Management Plan "certifying official." (See Users' Manual for RMP*eSubmit (160 pp, 9.2MB, About PDF) for detailed instructions).
Step 2: Complete the Electronic Signature Agreement (ESA) and mail it to EPA
The electronic signature is used to verify that the Certifying Official reviewed and submitted the RMP in the RMP*eSubmit system.
- You will complete the ESA at the time you initially register in CDX, or, if you already had a CDX account, at the time you add RMP*eSubmit access to your CDX account profile.
- CDX will guide you through the process of completing and submitting your ESA. You will need your Facility ID#, unless this is the first time an RMP is being submitted for your facility. If this is a first-time submission, CDX will prompt you to type in the name and address of the facility in place of the facility ID#. You will receive a facility ID# via e-mail after you have signed and submitted your ESA.
- Sign the ESA and mail it to EPA's RMP Reporting Center. The RMP Reporting Center will review and process the ESA, and send an e-mail to the Certifying Official indicating that the electronic signature has been received and approved.
- NOTE: The e-mail will also include a unique Authorization Code. This Authorization Code will be used by an RMP "preparer" that you assign to enter data in RMP*eSubmit for your facility.
Step 3: Register the "Preparer" and activate RMP*eSubmit access in CDX
- If the Certifying Official is also the Preparer: log into CDX, add "Preparer" to your profile, and enter your Unique Authorization Code.
- If the Certifying Official designates someone else as the Preparer, please provide that designee with the Authorization Code for your facility. Preparers will be required to provide this information when registering and activating their RMP*eSubmit access in CDX.
Note for New Jersey Facilities
NJ*RMP is additional software you will need for submitting your NJ RMP to New Jersey. For details, please see the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection page.
Can I still use RMP*Submit 2004?
RMP*Submit 2004 (not to be confused with the online process, RMP*eSubmit), was phased out in 2009; it is no longer available for download from this website. We encourage you to use RMP*eSubmit because it is easier to use, will improve data quality and will enable you to access your RMP 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
What if I am claiming Confidential Business Information (CBI): Can I use RMP*eSubmit?
Facilities claiming CBI can use RMP*eSubmit. If you choose to claim CBI, the following information is required as part of your RMP submission:
- A paper copy of the Substantiation Form (*Appendix C) indicating why the data element is considered CBI; and
- A paper copy of the Unsanitized Data Element Form (*Appendix D).
*See the RMP*eSubmit Users' Manual for Appendices.
How do I Resubmit, Correct, De-register or Withdrawal an existing RMP?
You may resubmit, correct, or withdraw an RMP using RMP*eSubmit.
- Submitting a Risk Management Plan with RMP*eSubmit
- Re-submitting, Correcting, De-registering or Withdrawing an RMP
For More Information
- Superfund, TRI, EPCRA, RMP & Oil Information Center - The Information Center can also answer questions related to Clean Air Act section 112(r) and RMP reporting requirements.
- RMP Reporting Center - The Reporting Center can answer questions about software or installation problems.

Mission and Objectives
The mission of the Division 15 is to promote and support a network of students who share a common interest in international development, teaching, trends, applications, and research in applied psychology. Through our international network, we aim to exchange and share scientific knowledge. We perceive cultural diversity as our biggest strength, as the driving force to achieve our goals.
Psychology students have shown an increasing interest in active participation in the development of the applied psychology. There is a growing number of students who wish to be continually informed about recent developments of applied psychology and want to have an dynamic role in developing an international network of applied psychologists. Indeed, students as future psychologists should have international exposure and should start networking with their counterparts from all over the world in order to exchange and share scientific knowledge and to promote international, cross-cultural research. Therefore, the main objective of Student Division is to enhance such international network of students, to facilitate communication between them, and to promote knowledge sharing and research in applied psychology.
The Student Division is trying to create a functional link between students not only through internet – webpage, mailing list and social media – but also through the organization of events at international psychology congresses.

America's Great Game: The CIA's Secret Arabists and the Shaping of the Modern Middle East
April 21, 2014 // 4:00pm — 5:30pm
The CIA has an almost diabolical reputation in the Arab world. Yet, in the early years of its existence, the 1940s and 1950s, the Agency was distinctly pro-Arab, lending its support to the leading Arab nationalist of the day, Gamal Nasser, and conducting an anti-Zionist publicity campaign at home in the U.S. Drawing on a wide range of sources, Hugh Wilford uncovers the world of early CIA "Arabism," its origins, characteristic forms, and eventual demise. more

April 28, 2014 // 4:00pm — 5:30pm
James Graham Wilson takes a long view of the end of the Cold War, from the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan to Operation Desert Storm. Wilson argues that adaptation, improvisation, and engagement by individuals in positions of power ended the specter of a nuclear holocaust.

All week long, we're visiting some of the hot spots of the country music capital of the world, checking in with some of the personalities who provide the pulse of the town during the rest of the year when baseball's wheelers and dealers aren't clogging up the corridors of the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center, and talking baseball and music whenever we get the chance.
Our first day brought us to one of the shrines of Nashville, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, located downtown and not far from Music Row, where the greatest recordings in the history of the genre have been made.
Jay Orr, the Hall's senior director of museum programs, was kind enough to lead us on a tour featured in this video, and he took us right to the source of country music, the very first instruments ever plucked with that trademark twang.
Orr then led us into a few exhibit halls, showing us amazing artifacts from the original Grand Ole Opry at the nearby Ryman Auditorium, including Minnie Pearl's dress, Pee Wee Kings' accordion and Hank Williams Sr.'s suit.
In another room was Elvis Presley's solid gold Cadillac, a pimped-out ride if there ever was one. The King's Caddy had its own TV, a shoeshine kit and a communication system between passenger and chauffeur that was way ahead of its time.
The highlight of this visit, naturally, was a step into the hallowed Hall itself, where the plaques of the inductees are "displayed in random fashion so that no one is more exalted than another," as Orr explained.
Hoping to grace those very walls someday is Josh Turner, the 30-year-old country star with the unmistakable baritone voice who struck gold -- and platinum -- with hits such as 2004's "Long Black Train" and last year's "Would You Go With Me" and "I'm Your Man."
We caught up with Turner, who admitted that he grew up a Cincinnati Reds fan when they won the World Series in 1990 but switched allegiances, like a lot of Nashville residents, to another very successful team.
"I started collecting baseball cards, and just really getting into what all the players were like, and as I got older I became an Atlanta Braves fan," Turner said. "My wife is actually from just outside of Atlanta, so we try to go to a game every chance we get."
Turner, whose latest album, Everything is Fine, is climbing up the country charts on the strength of its first single, "Firecracker," was a high school outfielder before taking his guitar and his voice from his native South Carolina to the mecca of Nashville.
"There's so many people all across the country that move here every year to try to get a record deal and try to make a record and get their music out there," Turner said.
"Nashville is just flourishing with all different styles of music. ... It just inspired me to make that sacrifice of moving away from home and coming up here to chase my dream."

The break came in eighth grade when Dothard was burned out from playing every sport White Plains High had to offer.
The return didn't take long — he said he had to get back to the game.
Now a senior for the Wildcats, Dothard has taken over at quarterback while also starting for his third season at safety. The move on offense is one he said is a lot more stressful than expected, but he added he loves it.
Dothard took a break from basketball last season, but still hits the diamond for White Plains. This spring will mark his fourth season on the varsity squad.
After baseball season concludes and Dothard graduates, he plans to attend Troy or Jacksonville State. For each, he's two points short on the ACT of a full-tuition scholarship.
During a class break recently, Dothard sat down with Anniston Star preps writer Brandon Miller and tackled 10 questions:
Question: You've played multiple sports, but which is your favorite sport?
Answer: Football. If you play baseball, then you have 20 to 25 games. But you can't replace Friday nights. It's just that feeling on Friday night that you get.
Q: Do you ever get tired playing both ways in football?
A: Sometimes, but we've been running
a lot more this year. Our workouts are pretty rough and they're intense. They've gotten us in good shape.
Q: What does "Built It" mean to you?
A: We've never really had a serious football program here. Around the county it's kind of been a laughing stock, but when coach (Heath) Harmon came here when I was in seventh grade, it was "Build It." We're trying to gain respect and win games. We're probably a little over halfway in the process, and we've come a long way.
Q: Do you have a favorite school in Calhoun County other than White Plains?
A: Not really, but it's fun to play other schools in the county especially in baseball. It's a fun rivalry between like us and Jacksonville and us and Alexandria. Since it's not an area game we just kind of play for fun.
Q: How did you get jersey No. 4?
A: Coach Harmon just gave it to me in ninth grade since I didn't ask for anything. I like it, though, but I don't know why. I've had the same number in baseball since ninth grade because I figured I'd keep the same.
Q: Who's going to win the BCS national championship?
A: It's got to be Alabama. They've got a program and I think they're staying hungry. And AJ McCarron is keeping them on the right track, I think.
Q: Do you play in any fantasy sports leagues?
A: No. I tried playing football a few years ago, but I couldn't keep up with it because I'm too busy.
Q: Of all the jerseys in any sport that you've worn at White Plains, which is your favorite?
A: I love the new Nike football jerseys we have. They're really nice and just like college jerseys. Now, I like the away (jersey) more because they have our names on them.
Q: What's the worst job you've ever had?
A: I still have it now. Last spring I started working at the greenhouses by the school. It's 10 hours of minimum-wage hard work.
I basically move flowers and dirt. But it works with my schedule.
Q: What's your favorite pregame meal?
A: Probably the grilled chicken that we've been having with green beans and macaroni and cheese. I also like to add barbecue sauce to the chicken.

Happy Hour Wednesday - Friday 5:30 pm to 8:30. Check out our new Slider Menu!
I 2nd the bathroom comment. – I don't know what the mens room looks like,but I have been coming to this bar since it opened.Please do something with the ladies room.It's disgusting.Where is the health dept?Isnt this an issue for them? This used to be a little more happening.I like that it's a bar for post punks and goths,etc..That would be me as well.But many of our scene has died of overdoses or moved.I like that it's a getaway from all the meatheads,sorority girls,jocks.But that shouldn't be the only reason why I go to a bar.There used to be so many hot guys that would hang out there.I never see any hotties.Unless they bring along their girlfriend.
Anybody Home!! – Well, going there was truly an experience. We went there on Friday night at 9:30pm and nobody was there. No music, no bands, no happy hour, and NO people! Alot happening at the other bars on the street. The Poor House is soooo poor. Needs alot of work done. Thank goodness it is dark in there. Be very careful using the bathroom ladies. Anything can crawl out of the holes in the walls. Thank goodness they do not serve food there. I can truly say that the bartender was a sweetheart. Great guy! I felt sorry for him being there all alone. Do not recommend, go somewhere else.
Has it's faults, but a good place to spend a few hours – A good place to hang out. Fine selection of beers and the people that work there are very friendly. As far as being trendy, it's not in the traditional sense regarding the area it's in, but it is in the sense that a lot of people there are the "anti-trendy" trendy types. A lot of guys pretending to be rockabilly greasers and a lot of girls trying to be Betty Page lookalikes. Get beyond that and you can find some genuinely interesting people to talk to. As far as the live music...once you've been a few times you'll tire of it quick. While there's some diversity to it, it's not often and you'll find yourself seeing the same generic "blues" bands over and over again. Also, you'll find yourself wanting to go outside more often than not if you want to engage in any conversation, there's nothing worse than being in mid-conversation when the band comes back from break and having to scream in the ear of whomever you're speaking to. Needless to say, the music is very loud and this won't be the place to go to talk for very long. You may complain that there is no food, but the "poorhouse" atmosphere and genuine run down appearence may make you glad. I wouldn't eat anything that wasn't prepackaged elsewhere. There are some good places nearby for food though and no minds when you bring your food back to the bar with you.
second best bar in ft.lauderdale – sick of all the crowds and loud dance music at the other bars and clubs in downtown then go to poorhouse. its like family. family that will kick you in the butt.
The bar's true riches lie in its down-to-earth vibe and excellent live music. – In Short
The Poor House is still the place where the unpretentious can go for a beer and live music from local acts. A neighborhood mainstay, the Poor House is especially known for blues, funk and rock music. The rickety wooden stage decorated with license plates and hubcaps is reminiscent of a backwoods bar, but the crowd isn't hillbilly. On any given night, the place is packed with both the jeans and T-shirt types and the suits.
Downhome Blues & Beers – Eat elsewhere because there's no food for your stomach, just food for your soul. Great live music. Super selection of beers. Bartenders that know their way around the bottles of booze to serve you the perfect drink. Friendly, funky & fun.
