LunaBella Edit
XD sorry, what exactly is it you want? what i made out was you want one picture but the other saying or that a template wasn't working, but by the looks of your userpage it seems you've got it, so, could you explain a little more? i'm just sorta confused...
i still try to help you though! ^.^
sorry for the delay Edit
okay, well, if the templates don't work, that may be because of a glitch, ask User:Fingernails for help or ask User:TheLunarEclipse they both are like, awesome at stuff like this. As for the userpage thing, to get it to look like Myspace...i don't even think that's possible, the wikia is set up a certain way, i mean, you could put like, an image of your page on there if you could and make it just big enough so all could see clearly, (i suggest if you do then log out first X#) but idk if that would work, you could just fancy this up in a whole nother way that would work just as well though! =D but i don't really know about MS, i've never gotten ONE account to fing work on there X#
but again, if you want to do things like this, ask those two, they are awesome and are acctuall admins on here, i'm really just some girl who knows the basic ropes and is learning how to work with codes =/ it's nice that you asked me though i feel so important ^.^
so yeah, ask them to help and if you need anything else i'll try to help you or they will, though Fingernails isn't on here too much, you'd have a better shot at TLE.
hope this helped,
(btw, how'd you email me? that was so unexpected XD i've never gotten the hang of that! please tell me?)
ohhh, okay i get it now, thanks! ^.^ how is your userpage working out for you?
oooo Edit
well i'm glad you got something to work i'm sorry i couldn't help you with the myspace to work =(
uhm, slideshows...to add those just click the gallery button, it's above where you type when editing, in the Insert box, it's got three little picture thingys and then i'm pretty sure you just click slideshow since this is a second opion, it used to just be a normal gallary. there shouldn't be anything special to that, just add however many pictures you want or upload them, you can edit it as many times as you need to ^.^ if you do want to look at someone's page with a slideshow then i do know a guy who has it on there, as long as you don't edit it as in saving anything, he can be sorta annoyed really easy >.> so if you wanna see his page then i'll give you the link.
anything else?
hey. Edit
i love your page. would you like to be friends?
CullenLoverForever17 22:17, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
I know they should add that right? Yea that would me awsome. Do you have a Myspace or aim or facebook?
None of your friends?
CullenLoverForever17 02:23, August 21, 2010 (UTC)
how do you not like Twilight. and okay my aim is Sseven12 and if you im me i will tell you my myspace and facebook.

Re: Delete Edit
Yeah, I guess you're right. I got blinded by edits I had done before a previous day with a user who was a Team Jacob fan and wanted to delete certain top ten lists because they maligned Jacob. I had no ill will towards you in what I thought was the same thing. I was just pointing out what I thought was going on. But point of advice: Don't e-mail me and leave comments in every single page attacking me. Leaving a message on my user talk page was sufficient. If you have a problem with what I've done that's the one place I'll look. I only looked at the comment pages because I initially got two messages from you. So yeah... don't do that again, m'kay. :) LuckyTimothy 16:38, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
- It's alright, we are all human, no harm done. And don't worry, if you want to criticize me go ahead and leave a mesagge on my talk page. I can take it, lol. LuckyTimothy 16:59, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
of course Edit
You are more than welcome to use the image from the blog..do you need any help with it? Which part did you like, maybe I can help you put it on your page. Sena 23:11, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
your page is looking really great Edit
I looked at your page again, I think you are getting it. I don't want to make any changes just in case it messes up your plan. There are some really great people here more often than me that you can check with if you need help. TagalongPam, Fingernails, Kmanwing, Lunabella to name a few...good luck with it. I'm going on vacation for a week, so won't be able to help out, but when I come back I'll check in! Sena 16:30, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
Re: Jacob Black's Pack BetaEdit
I did not remove any statements that say Leah is Jacob's beta. I removed mention of her having a "beta voice", since this is never said to exist in the series. -TagAlongPam (talk) 21:53, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
- That section in the table is for "extra capabilities". Leah being second-in-command doesn't belong there, since it is her rank in the pack but not any sort of special ability. The text in the article already makes it clear that she is his "beta" or "second-in-command". -TagAlongPam (talk) 02:32, August 25, 2010 (UTC)
Heyy :) Edit
Hey how have you been? I wanted to know if you where the one that said that i was cute on my page? :)

My Response Edit
Hey hi. Uh, just wanted to answer you're questions. Um...the main reason I like the Twilight Saga is for the love triangle. That's how I've viewed the Twilight Saga for a while and still sorta do. The first book was about Bella&Edward, the second was about Bella&Jacob, and the third was when they're relationships collide. Edward vs Jacob, who will win Bella's heart? That's what I like about it. The only thing is, the battle was incredibly one sided, poor Jacob never had a chance. *sigh* :( This is also another of the many reasons why I dislike Breaking Dawn. The love triangle is over, no more Edward vs Jacob. If the series WAS all about Bella and Edward, then Forever Dawn would've been released instead of New Moon. If the series was ALL about Bella and Edward and nothing else, then you're right. I wouldn't have liked it. Oh god, the idea scares me. No Jacob, no wolf pack, no love triangle, no rivalry, no fighting? Just Bella, Edward, and vampires? *shiver*
Now on Bella being selfish. She is totally selfish. Notice how Bella got everything she wanted in the end? Whenever she wants something, she fights for it, and gets it. Even if it's not a good thing. Bella wanted Edward, bad idea. But she fought and won. Bella wanted to become a vampire, super bad idea. But she fought and won. Bella wanted to have sex with Edward while still a human, super ultra bad idea. But she fought and won. Whenever it comes to Edward, she's the most selfish person alive. And since Edward is her whole life, wouldn't that just make her selfish in general? Her main goal in the series is to be with Edward forever, and nothing will stop her from getting what she wants. Not her friends, her family, or her LIFE, she'll just throw that all away. And in the end, she got everything anyway. Kirby Phelps (PK) 07:32, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Questions Fo U Edit
You say that you're Team Neutral, but with all the Bella and Edward pictures you have and because you say you love Twilight for the love between Bella and Edward. Wouldn't that make you Team Edward? I mean, you obviously approve of their relationship very much. Although I'm still not 100% sure what being on a team means.

My First Fan Fic Edit
I just wrote an alternate ending story. You might like it, you might not. Tell me what you think. :)
Alternate Ending: If Bella and Jacob kissed in New Moon
Kirby Phelps (PK) 08:22, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry I don't read it now, maybe later, I know there are many FanFictions of Twilight.
- I want to read (or hear, its also available on youtube) a german Fanfiction (It's thicker than Breaking Dawn,) of Nessie's growing up with Jacob.
- — Johannes Kalliauer (talk)♥ 08:38, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
- Actually now that I think about it, it's not really a fan fic. More like an in depth summary. If I did decide to make it into a real fan fic, where should I submit it? Kirby Phelps (PK) 01:26, September 3, 2010 (UTC)
- I didn't want it to be too different from the actual story. I wanted it to be kind of realistic or believable, like "Oh, Edward WOULD do something like that." or something...for the most part. I had an explanation for the imprinting thing, I just didn't end up writing it down and I also realize that it isn't really a fan fiction. If I did turn it into a fan fiction, where do you think I should submit it? Like, where do you read yours. I was thinking Twilight Archives, but that site doesn't look all that active. Kirby Phelps (PK) 14:55, September 3, 2010 (UTC)
Re: You didn't read the books?? Edit
Guilty as charged - not surprising since I made the accusation myself; I'm way beyond the target age.
I liked somewhat the Eclipse movie, probably because Hollywood's people got their job done for them; they had to waste no effort in adapting the story to their needs - SMeyer already did so herself. I do not know how far I will go in reading Breaking Dawn, I may go watch the movies, I doubt very much I'll read the first three books, I will likely watch the first two movies only if I can buy them for less than 5 British pounds total, shipping costs included. If they can be downloaded from the 'net for free, better. Would love to meet Heidi Meyer, though, considering the mauling her sister gave her in the books.
So what do I think I am doing on this wiki: I'm actually after the wiki itself - the wikis I would like to contribute to are either stillborn (Asimov's, ACClarke's) or mature (Harry Potter's) therefore I either would have to singlehandedly build them from scratch, or just polishing the already polished - TS is a still maturing wiki and needed what I could provide, the structure (some of it), the language (quite a bit of it), some order (a bit of it).
I am not overtly concerned about Admin - if it comes to me, fine, but I'm not going out on a limb to get it.

RE: Userpage Edit
Well, for starters, this is just my opinion so take that for what it's worth, lol. I'd cut it so the page wasn't long -- by at least half. I can't tell you what pictures or gifs to get rid of as I don't know what's your favorite. But I'm sure some have more value to you than others. Other than that I don't know what else to tell you. Just dramatically reduce the number of pictures. And my hats off to you on some of the stuff on there, beyond my capabilities in coding. LuckyTimothy 16:01, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
lol Editim a native speaker im no good with spelling thats why me and my english teacher dont get along i speak a bit of french im fluent in both spanish and german i also know a bit of italian :) jane and alec 16:14, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
Thanks Edit
I belive it was you who edidited my page and did the templates. Thank you so much. I'm not great with templates and that stuff so thanks for helping
Re: Quileute/Quillayute Edit
As I said, it's not worth quarrelling over. Ngebendi 19:42, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
P.S. On wikipedia, there are two disambiguation pages for Quileute and Quillayote respectively. The only two items that are reported with only one spelling are the airport and a tugboat, everything else is indicated as being spelled both ways. Therefore, I'll go back to Quileute, since it is the standard spelling of this wiki. Ngebendi 20:31, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
Perhaps there is no need to call in an admin, but feel free. The spelling difference is unimportant - that the wiki has started with one of them is. Ngebendi 15:49, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
RE:Category Deletion Edit
Nope, I don't mind that you help explained. LuckyTimothy 19:45, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
Re: Update Twilight_Saga_Wiki:Contact#AdministratorsEdit
Done, thanks. -TagAlongPam (talk) 02:22, September 8, 2010 (UTC)
Warning Templates Edit
Yeah, I'm not an admin, but I chat with the administrators all the time, so I can use them, and they wont really mind because I've been on the wiki since almost a year, so I have the experience of an Admin but I am not one, so yeah as long as it's really bad vandalism or you know its a picture that its fan art on an article, it's ok to put a Warning Template on the users Talk page. [user • talk]
RE:Awards Edit
I'll have to look at this more extinsively when I get to my computer -- using a slow library computer at the moment. Honestly, some of the ones that are in July that I guess never were awarded, I just assumed had been done. Maybe the other admins forgot about the page, I don't know. LuckyTimothy 17:03, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
- It's not difficult to code, but I'm literally leaving to go to class after I leave this message. You have the know how with putting up your own user awards, so go ahead and put them up where ever on your user page. The ones you put in my talk page and whatever your edit count is. LuckyTimothy 17:10, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
SuperFans - makes one wonder... Edit
Checked the Superfans page - reading some of the figures makes one wonder. I must be quite the exception, since I've read only one book and seen one movie. Ngebendi 18:39, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
Reading hours - perhaps less than one might think. If you reach a read count that high, generally you have developed good fast-reading habits. It so happened I used to read the Lord of the Rings under three days flat, and that is 1300 or so pages long, and the fat Harry Potters in two.
The real problem (and I wish I knew how to answer) is why I'm wasting so much time and effort on this wiki, when I am unwilling to go to the canon. Do not think that much of Breaking Dawn, after all; it is shallower than Edding's Belgariad and Harry Potter, and without the humor you can find there. Ngebendi 13:38, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
YOU ROCK! Edit
Thanks. I think it worked the way you said to do it. How have you been?
♥CullenLoverForever17 ☆ [user ♥ talk] 23:29, September 9, 2010 (UTC)

My userpage Edit
Yeah, thanks. But next time just tell me that it's there and I'll do it myself. While we are on this, I notice you editing a lot of people's userpages. Initially I thought people were asking you to do it, but I guess with mine you just did without asking. Now I don't think most people mind, but doing major edits to people's pages without asking might perturb them. Be careful with that. LuckyTimothy 14:34, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
- I won't do it no more, without getting asked, also I mainly corrected obviously coding-mistakes, and normally told them on their Talkpage.
- User:JoKalliauer 14:45, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for helping with my page! It looks great. Sena 16:13, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
Admin Edit
I heard from another admin that you are good (and hopefully like) graphics etc.
I was wondering whether you would like to become a admin on my wikia and help me at the graphics and pages etc. I suck1
Please reply really hope you say yes!
Thanks, I♥CarlisleCullen 18:04, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

Just wanted to stop by see how everything is going. and to ask did you read thats blog i put up. the one that renesmees story?

I would love to have you join me. I am shameful at graphics as you can see on my userpage!!! I don't even kow how to hyperlink things up...
my wikia url is: http://twilightsagabookandmovie.wikia.com/wiki/The_Twilight_Saga_Wiki
I dont mind if your not very active, as long as I can get a bit of help!!!
thanks a lot, if you edit it then I can see your name on the wikia and i will make you a admin.
thanks. talk soon...

Dreamcatcher badges Edit
What do you do, hover the page that tells how many edits have taken place? LuckyTimothy 16:58, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
- I meant in terms of getting 4 badges for the Dreamcatcher edit. I've got one, a lot of other people have one, just one. I know there is a special page that tells how many edits the whole wiki has. I was curious if you count since your last dreamcatcher badge and when it gets close to 1000 edits since, if you just edit til you get it? Could really care less about badges and whose on top of leaderboards, more of a curiosity. LuckyTimothy 14:23, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
HOLY CRAP!!! Edit
How? When? You have so many points? I remember when your points were just a little bit higher than mine, now you're on top of the leaderboard? What have you be doing? Kirby Phelps (PK) 06:48, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
4 Dreamcatcher badges with 1364edits Edit
n=1364edits, k=4Dreamchatchers
= 143 593 313 501 = Number of favorable opportunities
=10-12 = Likelihood to get exact 4 Dreamcathers
= 0,25648... =Likelihood to get exact 1360 times no Dreamcathers
= 3,68297...% => About every 27 User gets exact 4 Dreamcatchers with 1364 edits.
The change of getting exact 5 Dreamcatchers would only be 1%
so I'm very lucky
— Johannes Kalliauer (talk)♥ 10:05, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
heya Edit
i was wondering whether you would add my awards to my user page now?
Also, are you a admin on my wiki yet?
thanks again,
I♥CarlisleCullen 12:37, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
A few things Edit
1. If you forget to log in and are an AU, I don't automatically know it's you until I search the IP location. Just let me know, so as not to confuse me, lol
2. Why did you delete the information about the weird business with achievement awards and I-CarlisleCullen? That's something I need to know.
3. Your comment:
- I like User:TagAlongPam cause he is so wise, he works for the wiki like cleaning spam, and don't do "childish" thinks like collecting Awards, or make a beautiful Userpage, or nearly never leaves a comment, he Just does what an Admin should do: cleaning spam, deleting pages, and never "pepresents" his opinions.
- I think I will never be as neutral as he is.
Initially I read it as you weren't going to personify Pam's traits, but a nagging thing in the back of my mind is saying it's a dig at me. Surely that's not the case? LuckyTimothy 15:33, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
user page Edit
sure, you can do anything on my user page. If anything looks wierd or tatty etc... you are welcome to change it. this message applies for as long as I'm on this wiki (which is like forever!!!) lol.
i trust you not to be a twat on it and if you do anything wrong, ill fix it!
thanks for offering and please do do it!!!

Re: Custom Signatures Edit
What if I wanted to create a signature using font that only I have on my computer. If I asked you to create a sig for me, how would I get that font to you? Kirby Phelps (PK) 16:10, September 14, 2010 (UTC)
Hey. I ended up making my own. How's it look? And how do I set it as my signature again? Kirby Phelps (PK) 21:27, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Quotation marks. Edit
Jo, greetings.
I forgot all about your being a technic man. If it's not much of a bother, may I ask you how you fixed the quotation mark on Quil Ateara's page? Many thanks! Ngebendi 18:50, September 15, 2010 (UTC)
A thousand thanks! Quotes are the technical problem I've met oftener. Not everyday, but often enough to be needing this info sooner or later. Ngebendi 20:20, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Re: New Moon book to movie diff. Edit
I did not change it from the common style, I changed it to the common style. The words "movie adaptation" do not need to be italicized, since they are not a title. Only the name of the book or movie needs to be in italics, and the rest of the article title should also be bolded. Concerning the different coding styles, Wikipedia (and Wikia) standard practice is to use: ''. When editing, the "Editing Tips" box on the left side even explains how to bold and italicize using these marks instead of the other method that you suggested. I'm not going to say you "aren't allowed" to do it another way, but 99% of this wiki does not use your method and so it would likely be confusing for people who aren't already familiar with coding. -TagAlongPam (talk) 02:53, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

No problem. Everything I contribute to Wikia is available under CC. ;) fingernails 01:36, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
Fan Fic and Favor Edit
Two things actually. First, I believe I just wrote my first real fan fiction. It's a short one though and is more on the humor side than romantic. Hardly any romance at all actually. It's a crossover story of Twilight and Pokemon. Read it and tell me what you think. It's my first fan fic, so I need feedback.
Which brings me to my second thing. I need feedback because I plain on turning my Alternate New Moon Ending into a full blown fan fic. But, I wanted to add a picture to go along with the fan fic. Something like this. But I'm not very good at Photoshop and stuff like that. So I wanted to ask if you could make one? I'll credit you and everything.

Re: Categories organisation Edit
The "Vampire" category was inserted by Cocolovex, who apparently did not notice the "Vampire and Hybrids..." one, and I did not really paid attention. Now I deleted it, so it should be OK. Ngebendi 14:58, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
You should really ask CharmedJay - he's the one who worked the most on categories. Or to TagAlongPam - when I've tried to do more than correcting the obvious, I got scolded. Sorry. Ngebendi 15:16, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
Sorry Edit
What should I do, remove them? (talk) 15:47, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
Thanks! Edit
Hey thanks for fixing that. Please, if you want to help me make an archive for my talk page, that would be great! Sena 21:34, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
- That looks great, thanks for your help! Sena 21:53, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
Re: Categories oganisationEdit
Sure, I'll give you the same explanation that I once gave Ngebendi: the whole category system works like a tree. Each page not meant to have every possible category that it could fit under, only the most specific category along any branch. For example, Edward Cullen is categorized under Category:Cullen family, and that category is categorized under Category:Vegetarian vampires. Therefore, his article should not have the category "Vegetarian vampires" because "Cullen family" already includes it (since every page categorized under "Cullen family" would also fit under "Vegetarian vampires"). If I'm not explaining it well enough, reading this might help. And let me know if there is anything I can help clarify. -TagAlongPam (talk) 23:17, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

Re:New Look Edit
Hi Jo, I hate to moan about the New Look but it's making my life a misery. Here is a list of the problems:
– The person who uploaded an image's name is shown underneath the image. It looks bad and frankly, who cares?
– My "awards" are all seperated, not in a "block" or grouped like they used to be. Can you please rectify this promptly?
– I was not forewarned about the "New Look" and think that the old version of the website looked better and was easier to use.
– There's a "give feedback" icon at the top left-hand corner of my screen that won't go away despite me having given feedback and attempted to get rid of it.
– My "signature" doesn't link to my talk page.
– There's no "My home" page anymore, making it impossible to know if the pages I'm following or have created have been modified or not since I last edited them. This is the most annoying.
Please could you either try to sort these problems out or revert to the old page? I do not known who is responsible for the "New Look" or I would ask them, but as you seem very involved I though it best to consult you. I truly don't mean to complain or be unpleasant, I'm merely rather upset about how hard the "New Look" is making my using the wiki and as you know, I'm a dedicated editor and contributor. Thank you very much, and I hope we can get everything sorted out. =)
Kindest regards,
BlondieEllie 19:20, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
P.S. As for the signature, I wanted Fingernails to create me a "picture" one and yes, that's the font I meant (sorry, forgotten the name of it already!)

Re: VolunteeringEdit
You are not wrong to be reporting problems; your diligence is appreciated! Any issues that are not specific to our wiki can be left here. You can ask Xean if you are unsure about the reporting process though, since the Wikia staff members would be able to help you better than I. -TagAlongPam (talk) 01:08, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
Re: WantedCategoriesEdit
I agree with joining those categories. I would recommend the title "Species" instead of "By Species". -TagAlongPam (talk) 01:08, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
- You don't need to ask me before changing any of the categorization; I have no answer for why the Cullens aren't under "siblings". It's possible nobody has ever added them to the category, or that someone else deleted it from their pages. Same thing for the Administrators category—those two are not categorized because they never added that category to their user pages. It is something that admins can decide if they want to add to their page or not. And personally I don't see the point in having an "Immortal Child" category since there is only one known immortal child in the series. -TagAlongPam (talk) 23:20, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not saying you can't ask me for advice, I just don't want you to think that you need to get my approval for everything. Especially not for minor changes. I resent the fact that people say I "scolded" or "yelled" at them for changing the categories; if I revert someone's change, it doesn't mean I am mad at them. -TagAlongPam (talk) 15:26, September 25, 2010 (UTC)

Mainpage ChangerageEdit
I can't really say I appreciate the "I don't think redirection are intelligent" remark, surely there is a nicer way to get the point across without labeling someone unintelligent. That being said, if you look at the slider source page you will see that I didn't create or design it. I'll pass along what you mentioned when I talk to them next, but I'm not the one to talk to about that.

RE: CopyingEdit
I'll be honest with you, I don't really care. It's probably true that I copied it wrong, but it's an archived talk page -- not really meant to be a perfect page. And I don't see a need to leave me a message when I did almost two weeks ago. And to be perfectly honest, leaving me a message telling me "never do that, that doesn't work as you see: It is better if you deactivate in your preferences" comes off rather condescending.

Re: Eclipse book to movie differences introduction boldEdit
The title of the article should be bolded. When the first sentence doesn't exactly have the title, it becomes a bit more complicated to decide which part to bold. I'm fine with the way you suggested, though I don't know if TheLunarEclipse will agree since he seems to prefer bolding the whole sentence for some reason. -TagAlongPam (talk) 23:12, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
i wasn't saying that Fingernails was either gender, i just wrote "he" out of habit, Fingernails doesn't like when people know their gender.

Re: Achievement template Edit
I'm probably the wrong person to be asking about that. You should ask Pam and see what she wants to do. On a diffrent note, you might want to move or remove that gif of Edward and Bella kissing.

It's awesome
Re: DefaultsortEdit
Most of those changes seem like they would be fine. The only thing is that you probably shouldn't use "Blacks" or "Uleys" for the packs, but instead "Black" and "Uley". -TagAlongPam (talk) 03:10, September 30, 2010 (UTC)
Re: Category movingEdit
I'll be honest, I've never moved a category using a bot before so I don't know if that would be easier. It probably is though, since moving them the other way is a big pain. -TagAlongPam (talk) 03:10, September 30, 2010 (UTC)
Categories Edit
The tree analogy is apt. The categories should follow that basic idea and having redundant categories for any given document is indeed not optimal. I've held back on cleaning things up as i was not sure how the admins here wanted things categorized. But if Pam (and other admins) want to get rid of a category, it's easily done. With regards to Shape-Shifters being part of Quileute, the question is: are there any Quileute that are not shape-shifters? and conversely, are there any shape-shifters who are not Quileute? If all shape-shifters are Quileute, then shape-shifters should be a sub-category of Quileute, if not, then it makes sense to remove it. Anyone can remove a category, btw, just edit the page as you would any other document and remove the part that says [[Category:Quileute]] — Game widow 14:32, September 30, 2010 (UTC)
- Just a point of clarification, as it stands, it's the Shape-Shifters category that is within the Quileute category, not the other way around. If what you wanted was Quileute to be part of shape-Shifters, then you need to remove [[Category:Quileute]] from the Shape-shifters category and add [[Category:Shape-Shifters]] to the Quileute category. I know that may at first seem backwards, but the tags at the bottom of a page are the category to which an article (or category) belongs. Categories listed in the "Subcategories" section are the ones that are part of that category. — Game widow 15:27, September 30, 2010 (UTC)
Re: Galleries Edit
Well, two characters or people are ok as long as they are closely related and are seen together often, like Edward and Bella, Rosalie and Emmett... couplings like Carlisle and Alice dont make a lot of sense because they are rarely seen with just them. and Pages like "All cast members and Characters" are instantly too muddled and defeat the purpose of a character gallery. Its obviously just an attempt to get edit points and win awards you dont really deserve.
Hope I cleared that up for you ;)

Multipathing for Tape
By danmas on Jul 02, 2008
It was a dark and stormy night, the back up windows opened and shut with the regularity of a 90 year old pensioner's clacking of teeth as he snored with the flem filled nervousness of old age and incontinence. The data flowed from the backing store to fixed content archives like a humpback whale strains plankton. The administrator anxiously clacked her gum back and fourth against the two teeth she had recently had crowned with a couple of diamonds (one shaped like an "i" the other clearly an "o"...some of the geeks at work thought it was a one and a zero, but, they don't understand IO) as she watched the progress of her back up. All of a sudden there was a rigid silence as the status window showed zero throughput and the tortured silent scream of failed IOs bounced off the ear buds of the administrator. With manic obsessiveness the administrator chanted her mantra "If an IO fails to complete, is it ever an IO?" and she anxiously counted off the seconds before the back up timed out. ....Over and over again she chanted her mantra as the digital clocked ticked with the slowness and regularity of a clock:
7..8..9..."...fails to complete..." 17...18....19... "is it ever an IO?"....28...29... (occasionally she changed her mantra to "I think I can I think I can" as she took power hits of her RedBull) 47...48...49... And then, with the almost ecstatic relief one feels as a particularly large boil is lanced, the IO kicked back in down the alternate path and the back up proceeded.
So, with a rather shameless head nod towards the "The Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest" I announce that we have integrated multipathing for tape into Solaris build 93. This is the culmination of a lot of work in both the ST driver as well as MPxIO. In particular, we have solved the problem of logical block addressing and error recovery as well as true multi-pathing to multi ported tape drives. Additionally, this is a platform for innovation as well. Now that we have highly available tape back up windows that are natively part of the Solaris operating system (you could do some of this before with FCP2 Error recovery, but it wouldn't help with a bad HBA or cable) we can look at bus saturation so we can attempt to drive down back up times.
A strong head nod towards our experts in tape and MPxIO. Well done Randy and Wayne

STATELINE, Nev. — Nevada Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki has learned a lot in the past six years, particularly about what it takes to form a bid for the world's largest winter sporting event: the Winter Olympics.
Krolicki, head of the Reno Tahoe Winter Games Coalition, spoke to a group of about 50 snow-sports journalists Tuesday on the South Shore of Lake Tahoe, pushing the region's effort to score an Olympic bid.
"We think this is an opportunity to seize, and this is the moment to seize it," Krolicki said.
At least two groups are lobbying for a Reno-Tahoe bid for the 2022 winter Olympics. Though planning for a bid has already begun, it's unclear whether the U.S. Olympic Committee will even put a bid in for the Winter Games.
"It's all contingent on whether or not the USOC decides to submit a bid," Krolicki said.
Nonetheless, the coalition is already working with partners to gauge the region's capacity to host. Details like having exactly the right type of downhill slope for slalom races, the elevation of the nordic track and proximity of venues for the different competitions all have to be measured.
So far, the region looks like it could handle the event, Krolicki said. Even with some events in Reno and Sacramento, it would be a relatively compact venue compared to other Olympics, he added.
"The logistics of a Winter Games here are profoundly more simple than other venues," Krolicki said.
A bid for the Olympics could cost around $5 million, Krolicki said. The coalition is working with the Bay Area Sports Organizing Committee to put together the bid.
Denver, Salt Lake City, Lake Placid, N.Y., and Bozeman, Mont., have all expressed interest in hosting the 2022 event.
If the USOC chooses to do so, they will make a bid for the 2022 Winter Games in 2013. The host city will be awarded in 2015.

Tuesday, May 21, 2013
(Tuesday, May 21, 2013) There is a saying that one can fix anything with duct tape. At the May 21, 2013, the City of Little Rock recognized students from Gibbs Magnet School of International Studies and Foreign Languages for using duct tape to help those affected by the December shootings in Newtown CT.
The students are third graders in Jennifer White's classroom at the school. According to Little Rock City Manager Bruce T. Moore, the students approached Ms. White asking what they could do to help the students in Connecticut. They brainstormed various ways to help. One student offered, "I make things out of duct tape, and we could sell them to make money." Out of that, the highly successful KIDS STICK TOGETHER (KST) project was born.
Working with Ms. White, the students chose the organization to receive the donations. Because long-term counseling for families and victims is a need, the students chose the Healing Heart Bereavement Center in Danbury CT. This counseling center is helping many of the Newtown families and operates solely from donations.
Students began making items, especially from duct tape, and opened a store in the school to sell their products. The students worked on the manufacturing at home as well as in the classroom. During their economics and mathematics class times, students have not only made products, but they have learned the terminology of business and used math skills of making change and counting money.
The items are sold during lunch and were also available at a booth during this year's annual Gibbs International Fest on Friday, May 3. Since opening in late winter, these 8 and 9 year old students have earned a profit of over $2,500 through Kids Stick Together for Healing Hearts.
The Healing Hearts Bereavement Center has recognized the effort of the Gibbs students by publicizing it throughout Connecticut. Word of their work has spread throughout the world. Donations have come from places as far away as California and Sweden. In addition, ShurTech, the maker of Duck Brand Duct Tape donated a box of colorful duct tape to be used.
When asked why they wanted to help children a thousand miles away, the Gibbs students have a very simple answer, "Kids Stick Together, no matter what!"

An octopus has needs, and Tracy Morgan is here to meet them.On Friday's all-new episode of Tanked (10/9c, Animal Planet), the 30 Rock star returns to his favorite family-owned aquarium company to outfit his octopus Bwyadette with a new abode. Acrylic Tank Manufacturing (ATM) had already helped him out with a shark tank earlier, so octapi can't be much more difficult ... can they? The best and worst TV rebootsWell, apparently an octopus can be rather sneaky and secretive. Check out this exclusive sneak peek below to find out how Morgan will do right by his lady Bwyadette:

Is it finally time for term limits? Poll says 'yes'
February 15, 2013
Have the American people become fed up enough with the nonperformance of Congress that they want term limits on their elected office holders? Maybe so....
David...you might have a point if it wasn't for the fact that people usually only vote for the names on the ballot. Political parties will only back those individuals that have 'influence' within the party structure. If you have TERM LIMITS....the parties will be forced to find a new person to back...This doesn't necessarily mean any candidate will be better than the last. Most candidates are just a puppet for the agenda of the party...TOO bad for the rest of us!

I agree with Rick. If our ability to vote isn't sufficient to keep our elected officials "on their toes", then I don't think that term limits will be very effective.

|Symmetry Breaking of H2 Dissociation by a Single Photon
A single hydrogen (or deuterium) molecule consists of only two protons (deuterons) and two electrons and is perfectly symmetric. Linearly polarized photons are similarly symmetric. So one might think that the angular distribution of photoelectrons resulting from photoionization of the molecule by the photon accompanied by dissociation into a hydrogen atom and a hydrogen ion would itself be symmetric. However, an international team of researchers from Germany, Spain, and the U.S. has now shown that this need not be the case. When there are multiple quantum paths for the process, interference between waves in the coherent superposition of electron states (which exists when the molecular fragments are still close together) skews the distribution by breaking the molecular symmetry.
Molecular hydrogen is the most fundamental and one of the most basic molecules we can think of as well as the four-body system that is to date the best described mathematically. A particularly elegant way to dissect this molecule experimentally is to probe with a single photon, since the photon deposits only energy and angular momentum, unlike particles such as electrons, ions, and neutrons. Moreover, the linear polarization makes the photon—the driving force in the photoionization/molecular dissociation process—perfectly symmetric as well.
In their studies with low-energy linearly polarized light at ALS Beamline 9.3.2, the researchers investigated the simple reaction where a single photon knocks out one electron and leaves behind an excited positively charged molecular ion, which then breaks apart into one proton and one hydrogen atom, resulting in an oriented molecule with one end distinguishable from the other. The team asked the question: Would we expect any asymmetric outcome in our reaction, e.g., an unequal electron emission pattern with respect to the molecular axis? An intuitive answer to this question is "no," since the electron leaves the molecule in a symmetric final state of well-defined parity—either the even (gerade) 1sσg or the odd (ungerade) 2pσu state. Neither one of these final states should trigger a nonsymmetric electron emission pattern.
In fact, "no" is the right answer if there exists only one pathway in any photo fragmentation processes of homonuclear diatomic molecules like hydrogen and deuterium. But the microcosm of atoms and molecules is quantum, not classical. In particular, an electron can be in the superposition of two different states, so the actual final state represents the coherent sum of the two possible outcomes 1sσg and 2pσu, which are degenerate (undistinguishable in energy) but of different symmetry. The relative weight in the superposition of the two different pathways represented by the gerade and ungerade states depends on the molecular dynamics, that is, the changing distances between the nuclei. An experimental fingerprint of this dynamics is the kinetic energy release (KER) of the heavy fragments, i.e., the net energy of the proton and the hydrogen atom.
To investigate the photoelectron angular distribution with respect to the orientation of the molecule and the polarization of the incoming light as a function of the KER, the team used a coincident-electron-and-ion momentum-imaging apparatus (COLTRIMS, see ALSNews, Vol. 247, November 24, 2004). Applying a state-of-the art quantum mechanical calculation without any semiclassical approximations for the nuclear motion enabled them to understand why the symmetry breaking is most apparent for a KER of 9 eV: it is here that the two possible outcomes of gerade and ungerade symmetry contribute equally, resulting in a strong mix of the two pathways of different parity.
The team considers symmetry breaking in a completely symmetric molecule to be a general molecular manifestation of autoionization when several (at least two) decay channels are effectively accessible. Combining symmetry and coherence also provides an elegant way to probe the electron dynamics that drive chemical reactions.

Tiny Houses Are No Longer Exclusive To The Alternative Crowd
Living in a tiny house is often thought of as a lifestyle that appeals to the alternative types such as hippies, gypsies and everyone else who falls into the "eccentric" crowd. After all, who in their right mind would willingly live a life with fewer square feet and fewer possessions when both are so readily available? Or are they? Supply and demand is the most fundamental element of any economy and the short supply of money most people have has lowered the demand for square feet and all of the expenses associated with them.
The feedback I receive from the people I speak with daily is that they are no longer interested in exchanging their time working for a large house and filling it up with costly things. Another basic and fundamental economic term is scarcity, and the most precious and limited resource we all have is time. The growing number of converts buying into the tiny house philosophy are regular folks willing to look at their housing choices with a clear and open mind.
The Tiny House Listing website is geared specifically to the purchasing and selling of tiny homes which means it's not only visited by people curious about tiny houses, but actively seeking to purchase one for themselves. Here is a quick rundown of the demographics of people tha visit the Tiny House Listings site. This paints a clear picture of who is interested in living in tiny homes. You can click the image for a larger view.
As you can see, the tiny house crowd is a very diverse group of people. While the majority are educated with above-average incomes, all ages, races, male, female, with kids, no kids and so on are represented. So what is the message? The majority are educated with above-average incomes. That make the tiny house movement less centered around the eccentric and more mainstream. If you don't consider yourself an "alternative" type but are interested in tiny homes and the benefits of living in one, you're not alone.
Steve Harrell is the owner and founder of Tiny House Listings.

Holland Interim School Superintendent Sylvia Root said she will meet with members of the Holland Kiwanis Club to make contingency plans for Holland Tulip Festival events that had been traditionally held in the former middle school.
The annual chicken barbecue and senior citizen breakfast are just two events that need to be moved for the festival in May because the school district no longer has a working kitchen in the Route 16 building.
As of September, only administrative offices occupy the building. Fifth- and sixth-grade students now have classes in the elementary building and seventh- and eighth-graders attend the junior/senior high school.
"We'll have to change things up a bit," Root said told School Board members Monday night. "We still support the festival. We just have to figure out how to make it work."
The superintendent said the elementary or junior/senior high school would likely host the events.
In a related matter, the board agreed Monday to relocate its meetings to the junior/senior high school library, where they used to be held. Board member Kelleen Kensey made the proposal, noting that the auditorium of the former middle school, where meetings are currently held, is not heated on a regular basis.
The next board meeting will be at 7 p.m. Dec. 17 in the new location.

Sara Campbell paused to touch up her mascara in the reflection of the chrome that glistened on the Harley Davidson motorcycle.
Peering through the lens of his camera, Scott Jacobs knew he had found his shot.
The moment, captured by photograph then transferred by Jacobs to an acrylic on Belgium linen canvas painting, is now an official Harley Davidson image. Campbells likeness, titled The Finishing Touch is printed on Harley shirts and memorabilia shipped across the world.
Scotts artistic eye is amazing, Campbell said. Its so crazy to me that something as simple as riding motorcycles all day with friends and family can result in something worldwide.
Campbell is a 25-year-old, blonde-haired, green-eyed Mount Pleasant resident whos been featured locally in the Charleston City Paper, Skirt! magazine and Oblique Magazine. Jacobs became Harleys first officially licensed artist in 1993 and has worked with the industry leader on hundreds of projects ever since.
The two met at the Rapid City Harley dealership booth at last years Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota. They set up a shoot the following day, not sure what exactly would come of the photos. Working to find the perfect shot while fighting the rain, the two shuffled through a range of poses while Jacobs took more than 200 photos.
Shes a total natural, he said. I told her to think about what shed be doing in the moment, like its actually happening and her boyfriend is standing there waiting on her. She understood and did a phenomenal job.
Jacobs posted the image to his gallerys Facebook page as a contest for fans to come up with a name and says the response was overwhelming. He included it in his newsletter and says the reaction in the comments and posts was the biggest of the year.
It had a really good feel. The reaction was incredible, Jacobs said. The bike is in it with a pretty girl. And people love her purple boots. Weve had more comments on the boots than anything.
Harley Davidson selected The Finishing Touch from more than 100 images as one of eight to be printed on its shirts this year. The image has since been licensed around the world and could be featured on anything from puzzles to beach towels.
We were hopeful theyd use it but had no guarantee, Campbell said. It was so exciting when Scott called me and told me they picked it. Its really crazy knowing itll be printed worldwide. I dont even think its hit me yet.
Modeling has long been one of Campbells true loves. She lights up in front of the camera and hopes to one day turn her passion into a career.
So far, Im just having fun with it, Campbell said. I hope more opportunities come up in the future, but Im really grateful for the experience so far.
Besides modeling, Campbell says her love for bikes and the motorcylcle community made the opportunity with Harley a dream come true. A long day on a challenging shoot was, to her, just an unforgettable experience riding Harleys through the South Dakota scenery. For her, its the bikes, the people and the lifestyle thats most enjoyable.
I grew up on motorcycles and was in a sidecar before I was even old enough to hold on, she said. Bikers just enjoy their lives and most of all a good time. Loud, fast and fun is very appealing.

On Friday morning, a cabal of elected and appointed officials huddled together in the Buffalo and Erie County Naval and Military Park to announce an ambitious series of events planned for Canalside through the summer.
The speeches were ebullient and self-congratulatory, as such speeches tend to be, but this time the speakers' puffed chests were justified. As the sound of construction equipment from four ongoing projects clattered in the background, we heard of plans for some 800 events to take place along a small section of the burgeoning Buffalo waterfront from May through October.
Five years ago, if someone said that the driving force behind this project was the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corp., few would have believed it. For many years, the organization was an emblem of regressive thinking, an agent of stasis and a well-greased funnel for money flowing from our pockets to corporate interests.
Gradually, as the collective delusion known as Bass Pro receded from memory, the agency has performed a remarkable about-face. After plenty of prodding from the community, its philosophy evolved from dangling massive subsidies in front of retailers to sponsoring smaller-scale activities and projects designed to attract actual people.
Now, at least on the evidence of the past few weeks, it seems that the ECHDC's leaders have finally realized the economic wisdom of directing public tax dollars toward the public good. This is a novel idea where economic development agencies are concerned, but a welcome one.
Until now, the skeptics among us could be forgiven for suspecting the agency of conducting a bit of propaganda in its endorsement of cheap projects for small-scale and public-minded growth from the likes of unfairly maligned "obstructionists" Fred Kent, Tim Tielman, Mark Goldman, his late brother Tony Goldman and others.
Some posited that the corporation's sponsorship of summer events, rainbow-colored Adirondack chairs and other cheap additions to the waterfront was little more than hush money for the immutable critics of the Bass Pro debacle.
But this week, we received convincing proof that this is not the case in the form of a multimillion-dollar project to illuminate the city's grain elevators and the announcement of the hundreds of summer events.
Under the leadership of president Tom Dee and civic-minded chairman Robert Gioia – a genuine believer in the public good – the ECHDC seems finally to have emerged from the dark days of Larry Quinn's misguided leadership.
"In the last three years, it's changed dramatically from the silver-bullet approach to an incremental approach," Dee said after Friday's news conference. "We always base our focus on public access followed by things to do. Add to that incremental improvements, infrastructure and construction, and then comes economic development. It's a formula."
Other IDAs and City Hall should watch closely over the next couple of years to see how well this time-tested approach pans out in Buffalo. Given the success of similar projects in cities across the Rust Belt and far beyond – along with the $250 million of subsidized private investment this philosophy has already yielded on Buffalo's waterfront – we have little reason to believe it won't.
We must always pay attention to the way agencies like the ECHDC spend and misspend public dollars. Perhaps there are more missteps in the offing. But today, the agency and the waterfront it is building look better than ever.

UB South Campus is being bypassed again
Historically, the University at Buffalo was a campus in the city, the University District of Buffalo. A subway was built linking the campus to downtown. The spending of tax dollars for the maintenance and growth of the SUNY system had the bonus of enriching the neighborhood it was in, as well as the community as a whole. Then the largest employer in Buffalo expanded into the suburbs, taking from the city.
Now we see the future plans of UB once again bypass the original campus and head to downtown. Downtown Buffalo has been benefiting lately from private investment and is expanding its housing and hospitality offerings very well on its own.
The South Campus is an ideal geographic location between downtown and the suburbs. There is existing mass transit that can truly benefit from increased ridership as well. The original UB 20/20 program, I am led to believe, included the graduate schools of law, medicine and architecture on the South Campus. Why does the prevailing wisdom believe every resource for the expansion of UB, including the medical corridor, should be located in one area? Have we not learned from recent natural disasters that this is not a good idea? I do not believe that we should crowd everything all together and cause unnecessary congestion.
I would like to see the University District revitalized by again becoming the anchor for UB. I call on our legislative representatives and the new president of the university to see the future home and classroom of its graduate students on the original campus.

Last year, Stacey MacLaren doled out $75 for her three kids' Halloween costumes at a national retailer. This year, she picked up all three getups for less than $30 at a local consignment shop.
"Now that I know, I will go this route from now on," the Hamburg mother said. "This is definitely the way to go if you are looking to save money. I just wish I would've done it years ago. I could've used that extra money for something else. I'm a stay-at-home-mom. That money would've helped our household."
Halloween celebrations are popular and the festivities can add up. The recent National Retail Federation spending survey revealed a record 170 million Americans - seven out of 10 - will mark the day in some way and spend $8 billion while doing so. Those buying costumes, decorations and candy will spend an average of $80 each.
Americans are expected to spend $2.9 billion on Halloween costumes alone this year, with more than $1.1 billion on children's costumes, $1.4 billion on adult costumes and $370 million on pet costumes, according to the survey.
At costume speciality stores, Halloween costumes can range from $15 to hundreds of dollars. And for an outfit that typically gets limited wear, MacLaren and others don't think it's worth the investment.
"It's just one night, for a few hours and when it's done, you throw them away," she said. "The kids grow out of them, and they wouldn't want to wear them again, anyway."
In addition to consignment shops, where costumes are at least 60 percent less than regular stores, trick-or-treaters can don do-it-yourself getups.
"Even if you can't sew, there are iron-on adhesives," said Vivian Jagoda, a retired home economics teacher who runs a tailoring business in Colden. "All you have to do is cut the fabric and use adhesives. It's less expensive than going to the store and buying a costume."
Barbara Perry, owner of Aurora Sewing Center with locations in East Aurora and Williamsville, recommends recycling an old adult-size sweatshirt to create an easy and cheap homemade costume for a child.
"The sweatshirt then becomes your costume's base," Perry said. "It's just thinking outside the box. You don't have a to be a seamstress to do this. You have to be creative."
Lisa Eszak, owner of Village Kids Consignment Shop, said this time of year is one of the store's busiest. As Halloween nears and kids decide what they want to wear, costumes sell fast.
She has already sold 200 gently used and new costumes, and she has an inventory of 300 outfits for toddlers to teens.
"I just sold 25 costumes yesterday," she said. "I think people are realizing with this economy, it's better to save money since it's just one day of fun. People want to save money any way they can. This is a way to do it."
The majority of her inventory has been worn just once, and she has a small collection of brand-new costumes, still in the packages. Since most are only a year old, they are getups that kids still want, Eszak said.
MacLaren bought her 3-year-old son a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle costume from Village Kids for $8.99. She said it's going for $34.99 at costume stores.
"You can't beat that savings, and the two used ones I got are like new and good, quality costumes," MacLaren said.
Jagoda, who runs a home-based business, VivianSewUnique, has been sewing clothes for 47 years. She's been filling Halloween orders, mostly for infants to kids up to age 5. Her designs are multipurpose, and she suggests do-it-yourselfers do the same. She made her granddaughter a monkey costume last year that doubled as pajamas.
"She wore it not just for Halloween but for all of last winter," she said. "I designed it in a way so you can get more use than one evening."
A recent Buffalo Bills outfit will do the trick on Halloween, and it's also a lined jacket and hood for the autumn. Plain onesies or pajamas with iron-on designs could double as costumes, Jagoda said.
Perry said T-shirt and sweatshirt creations can be finished with accessories from her or other sewing or craft stores for less than $10. The rib cage of a skeleton, a bumblebee and a clown are among the possibilities with an old sweatshirt, she said.
A simple Internet search will yield thousands of homemade costume ideas as well.
MacLaren said the money she saved this year will go to treating her kids to dinner before trick-or-treating.
"It's nice having extra money to do something special for the kids," she said.

Katherine Schwarzenegger has arrived: She made her TV debut Friday as a special correspondent for Entertainment Tonight.
"I was terrified," Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger's eldest daughter, a USC senior, told PEOPLE at the It's Our Turn Young Women's Conference the day after her on-camera interview with Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine and Tom Hardy for their upcoming movie This Means War. "Before I went in there, I was like, 'I'm going to throw up. I'm going to have projectile vomit in their faces, I'm so nervous!' "
Adding to her overall sense of nerves? "Chris Pine is gorgeous," she says. "I think it would have been easier if Chris Pine had not been there."
ET host Nancy O'Dell personally asked Schwarzenegger, 22, to conduct the interview, which gave the college student pause.
"What if people think, 'What is she doing? Why is she interviewing these really well-known people?' " said Schwarzenegger. "But if I don't do it, I'll feel terrible, because it's an amazing opportunity."
After some encouragement from her mother, who was also at the Young Women's Conference (which was modeled after her own Women's Conference), where she conducted an interview with surprise special guest Lady Gaga, Schwarzenegger accepted the gig and buckled down to prepare for her first Hollywood interview.
"She was like, 'I want to stay out of your way, but I'll help you if you need any help with questions or what to do,' " Schwarzenegger says about her mom. "She's an amazing mother, so she helped me with it."
And, after the segment aired, "She gave me really good feedback and was very supportive like she always is," says Schwarzenegger.
With graduation around the corner, she is also feeling the pressure to figure out the next chapter of her life.
"Since I graduate in May, I'm definitely having to figure out what exactly I want to do," she says. "I went back to the studio and did some work on the Entertainment Tonight set, and I think that's really interesting to me."

On Monday, Catholic Advocate alerted our community to an event that took place last week – "The Obama Catholic Coalition Meets in D.C."
Now, the folks at Cybercast News Service have obtained video of Speaker Nancy Pelosi discussing immigration reform during her remarks to the gathering and elaborating on her directions to the Catholic Hierarchy on the issue.
In the video we are providing for you here as well, she goes into immigration as part of the "dignity and worth of every person." Pelosi then continues to tell those assembled about how the hierarchy needs to take to the pulpit if immigration reform is going to pass. Alluding to "whatever the instruction in the pews…" and stumbling over her words.
As a Catholic, Nancy Pelosi doesn't know what priests do during Mass? Well, we know she confuses feast days and the teachings of the church on the sanctity of life…so maybe she just doesn't pay attention during Mass.
As a Catholic, Nancy Pelosi thinks it is appropriate for the hierarchy and our priests to advocate for immigration reform from the pulpit, but why not talk about the dignity and worth of the unborn lost from the health care bill, Madame Speaker?
As a Catholic, does Nancy Pelosi think they should also use their homilies to support traditional marriage? Or, would she rather they ignore that non-negotiable issue and hope no one notices the Obama-Pelosi effort to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
Let's just drill down to the basics – I didn't realize white smoke came from the south side of the Capitol when she was elected Speaker, so what makes Nancy Pelosi think she can give direction to the hierarchy of the Catholic Church?
Watch the video for yourself…

7 Female Behaviors That Baffle Men (Explained!)
In a previous article, I talked about some of the big questions men ask about women, about relationships and communication and all that boring stuff. But in focusing on the serious man/woman issues of our time, I missed out on other less dramatic, yet equally pressing issues, like why girls go to the bathroom together.
Well, here it is. I hope you're happy.
Why Do Women Go to the Bathroom In Groups?
A lot of men seem to think there is a kind of secret, like the women have some kind of coordinated plan or traditional ritual, when it's really a case of everything looking mysterious when you're not in on it.
A lot of the time it's as simple as trying to find an appropriate break in the conversation. When we watch TV, we all wait for commercial breaks to go to the bathroom, so we won't miss anything. In a dinner conversation, there aren't any designated "commercial breaks," but if half the group is taking off, chances are the other half will save their good stories and such until they get back.
Ladies are traditionally known for being more relational than men, so they sometimes can see dinner conversation as being as important as a good TV show, and look for unimportant "breaks" where they can cut out and pee. If one lady decides to go, another lady might notice it, think about where the conversation is at, and realize, "Oh yeah, this probably is a good break." By the time you get to lady No. 3 or 4, she's not only thinking that, but, also that with a bunch of ladies gone, there might be a lull in conversation -- or at least lady-appropriate conversation -- and this is as close to an official break as you're going to get.
When it comes to ladies on double dates or in large prom groups, they might see it as a good time to catch up with each other and how they think their dates are going. Maybe say what they think of each other's dates. Just like men enjoy the play-by-play in sports, ladies enjoy a play-by-play on dates, but it's very rude to do it right in front of the guy.
And a large number of ladies don't do it at all. I don't usually go to the bathroom when my friends do, but that's because I don't care about other people. Also they are going to take all the good stalls.
Basically there's a bunch of different common-sense motivations depending on the situation and the individual women involved. There's no universal ritual or secret plan.
Why Are Women's Public Restrooms so Gross?
Obviously this varies from place to place, but a lot of men who have had to do janitorial work complain that women's restrooms are often filthier than men's restrooms. I don't want to go into too much graphic detail here, but I've heard anecdotes of women apparently making a mural of used tampons on the wall.
This is understandably bewildering, since women are traditionally brought up to hate dirt and germs. And while a lot of women like to break the stereotype (CDC doctors, mud wrestlers), a lot more definitely fall into it to some degree.
This is why a lot of women don't play Fallout. Just because the world has been destroyed with nuclear weapons doesn't mean someone couldn't sweep once in a while.
The thing about this upbringing is that it's kind of intended to encourage women to clean, since in the past, that was a woman's job. If you instill fear and hatred of filth in a woman, the thought went, she would get upset about dirty counters long before her man would, and automatically clean it up before he had to give the order.
Once upon a time, we took the same approach to raising girls as we do to programming Roombas.
As we all know, fear triggers a "fight or flight" response, equipping you to either fight the danger, or flee it. If a classically-raised woman runs into a nasty poo-encrusted toilet, she suddenly gets the visceral urge to either clean it or run away. If it's in her own house, she's got no choice but to clean it, at least eventually (or ask someone else to). If it's in McDonald's, she will pee hovering over the seat with her breath held, fling her toilet tissue in the general direction of the toilet and run like the wind.
So if you're wondering why someone wouldn't flush a toilet that obviously needed a second flush, the answer is that she was probably a block away by the time that became evident.
Why Do Girls Take so Long to Get Ready?
Again, there's probably a bunch of things that cause this. Some girls probably actually do want to make a man wait in order to play hard-to-get or whatever, just like in the jokes. Someone has to keep stand-up comedians in business.
A more innocent answer could be that she's trying on clothes. As you probably know, women usually like to wear new outfits to special events. While most women aren't wasteful enough to buy a new dress every time, she's probably going to want to combine the dress with a different pair of shoes, or a different shawl, or maybe drape it with meat -- I'm not going to judge. So she's got a really awesome new outfit combo planned for the big day.
I said I wasn't going to judge.
The downside of a new and exciting outfit is that it's an untested outfit, which means that even though those boots theoretically should have gone with that skirt for a smart, modern combo, once you put it on, apparently you look like a goth. It's bizarre.
Then you swear and start grabbing other pieces that you think will fix this, which as you can imagine, consumes a lot of time, since a lot of nice going-out clothes are both flimsy and tight, so getting in and out without tearing them is an ordeal.
When are Inuit fashions going to catch on? That's what I want to know.
Obviously, the logical solution is to test the outfit ahead of time, which some women do. However, women, like all human beings, procrastinate, so this happens about as often as anyone actually studying for a test early or doing their homework before the last minute.
And this is all before makeup. You don't even want to get me started on makeup. Mainly because I don't know anything about it. But I heard it takes a long time.
Why Are Women's Fashions so Complicated?
In general, men's fashions go along a one dimensional axis from casual to formal, like so:
And they just need to pick where on the line they need to be, depending on the situation. Sure, there are a lot of different styles (preppy, yuppie, guido, skater, hipster, etc.), but most guys usually just go with one style, and move along a single axis in that style. Here is an example of a guido axis:
Women's fashions have multiple axes. For example in addition to casual and formal, there's also slutty and dowdy, like so:
Guys fashions have some hint of a coolness spectrum, from smooth to dad-like, but it's not nearly as wide and obvious as the women's range from hijab to miniskirts. It's a very rare guy outfit that would cause someone to point out its wearer as a man-whore, based on the outfit alone. Even if a guy was wearing no shirt in the workplace, he wouldn't get called out for being slutty so much as for being way too casual.
And there's more that just those two axes. There's also a seasonal one, which I don't completely understand, but apparently a white purse is a summer purse and you're supposed to swap to a black one in the winter or something, or so I have gathered from my mom's yelling. So you could have an outfit that's just the right amount of formal and slutty, but it's the wrong season. And the more fashionable you are, the more axes you have. So that's why a simple decision like what to wear today can get so complicated.
Nefarious marketing by the fashion industry or inevitable result of the nature of woman, that's beyond me to say. You all go ahead and get into a fight about that if you want to.

Screaming Orphans to Perform Evening Concert at Shenango Campus
Sharon, Pa.—Penn State Shenango will host the Irish band The Screaming Orphans at 7 p.m. on Thursday, September 20, in the Penn State Shenango auditorium. The event is free and open to the public. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
The four Diver sisters from Bundoran, Donegal County, spend much of their time captivating and entertaining audiences between New York City and Donegal. Since an early age, the sisters have been singing and playing traditional Irish music as their mother's back-up band in Ireland. Once they hit their teenage years, they formed their own rock band—the Screaming Orphans.
While the sisters have never forgotten their roots in traditional Irish music, the group has absorbed many influences over the years and is renowned for their trademark spine-tingling four-part harmony which has led them to collaborations with such artists as Sinead O'Conner, Joni Mitchell, The Chieftains, Baaba Maal and the Afro Celt Sound system.
Their energetic live shows combine elements of both pop and traditional Irish music, which has been described as a "collision of gravel and honey," creating a unique show that has audiences captivated and wanting more.
