04/18/2011 - One of the cuts that resulted from the tense negotiations to avert a government shutdown was welcomed by advocates of the Chesapeake Bay restoration plan. An amendment offered by Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) would have prevented federal funding of the EPA's efforts to impose and enforce its "pollution diet" for the Bay, but fortunately it was removed with the rest of the GOP's legislative "riders."Of course that isn't the end of the story, because such language is certain to be resurrected as Congress pursues a spending plan for fiscal 2012. Those who agree that federal involvement is necessary to achieve the goal of a restored Chesapeake Bay need to be vigilant.***Read the editorial EPA and The Bay in full on The Free Lance-Star's Web site.

BREAD Working Paper No. 005, revised August 2004
Do Firms Want to Borrow More? Testing Credit Constraints Using a Directed Lending Program
Abhijit Banerjee, Esther Duflo
This paper uses variation in access to a targeted lending program to estimate whether firms are credit constrained. The basic idea is that while both constrained and unconstrained firms may be willing to absorb all the directed credit that they can get (because it may be cheaper than other sources of credit), constrained firms will use it to expand production, while unconstrained firms will primarily use it as a substitute for other borrowing. We apply these observations to firms in India that became eligible for directed credit as a result of a policy change in 1998, and lost eligibility as a result of the reversal of this reform in 2000. Using firms that were already getting this kind of credit before 1998, and retained eligibility in 2000 to control for time trends, we show that there is no evidence that directed credit is being used as a substitute for other forms of credit. Instead the credit was used to finance more production - there was a large acceleration in the rate of growth of sales and profits for these firms. We conclude that many of the firms must have been severely credit constrained, and that the marginal rate of return to capital was very high for these firms.

Pope Francis? Meet Maimonides
Count me among the millions of people all over the world who are inspired by Pope Francis's call for all of us to do more for the less fortunate. I'm most inspired by his message because throughout his life, this pope has truly "walked the walk" of charity and has never shied away from getting his hands dirty. In other words, there is no doubt that the intentions and motivations behind his push for more charity and compassion are 100 percent pure.
But that brings us to the suggested methods the pope mentioned in his now much-discussed and -debated "Evangeli Gaudium." The pontiff's harsh critiques of capitalism and his insistence that governments get more involved in the charitable process were the most difficult for free-market devotees to digest. And they were also very difficult for devout members of all faiths who have found true wisdom when it comes to alleviating poverty.
It's important to remember that religious scholars have been grappling with how best to help the poor for millennia. The solution is not so simple as telling people not to be greedy, and Judeo-Christian leaders have known this for a very long time.
(Read more: Pope's sharp words make a wealthy donor hesitate)
And while no one person or faith can claim to have the magic answer to helping all the poor in a lasting and significant way, some have come closer than others.
The best example of that comes from the great Medieval Jewish rabbi, philosopher and physician Moshe ben Maimon, or as he is commonly called, Maimonides (1135-1204).
(Read more: Pope finds a new enemy — capitalism)
Yes, Maimonides was decidedly Jewish. But his background and career could not have been more ecumenical, even by today's standards. His was born in Cordoba, Spain during a time when the Jewish community became vital intermediaries between the Muslim and Christian rulers of the Iberian Peninsula. He later rose to great prominence in Northern Africa as the court physician to the Grand Vizier Al Qadi al Fadil, then to the Sultan Saladin, after whose death he remained a physician to the royal family.
Maimonides also had extensive dealings with Christian leaders throughout his life.
When he wasn't working with Christian and Muslim leaders, making advancements in medicine, or writing commentaries on sacred texts, Maimonides also had time to act as a director of a large family business. And perhaps it was the combination of all these vocations that gave him the best insight to date on how best to help the poor.
And rest assured, that insight is decidedly capitalist.
The key message in Maimonides' essay, "The Eight Levels of Charity," is that the highest level of charity is to give a person a job or even a business loan in a way that both the donor and beneficiary can eventually profit.
"The highest degree of charity, exceeded by none is — in a word — putting the poor man in a place where he can no longer need other people's aid," Maimonides wrote.
For those of you who think this sounds a lot like the proverb, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime," you're right on the money.
(Read more: Vatican opens its books in a move to be more transparent)
But it's also important to note the kind of charity Maimonides considers to be the lowest form of giving, that is the "charity" that is given unwillingly, especially by force.
If that isn't a 12th-century prophecy for coerced taxpayer-funded "welfare," I don't know what is.
The point is, the pope has it right when he says caring more for our fellow human beings will improve the entire human condition. But that caring only be sustained when all parties feel valued as opposed to one side feeling forced to give to charity and the other side being simply identified as the faceless recipients of "goodwill."
Pope Francis has devoted most of his life to making sure he gets so close and personal with the poor that they will never be faceless or one-dimensional. Now, he must follow the wisdom of a Medieval Jewish Rabbi, scholar, physician and merchant to understand how not to underestimate the rich, and those who strive to be rich without forgetting their responsibilities to all.

The new Cavaliers coach -- whomever he may be -- will face a formidable task in determining how to fit the pieces and parts remaining from the disastrous playoffs into a synchronized, cohesive contender. Certainly, the Eastern Conference semi-final loss to Boston exposed at least some of the Cavs' most pressing problems.
None of the player-related questions can be answered until a certain "Chosen One" makes up his mind where he'll be plying his trade this coming season. So we'll table that problem for now and instead look at the players on the current roster whose fates will be decided by the new coach.
Shaquille O'Neal: According to most reports, he is as good as gone. Whether he stays or leaves, he and his fans must face the obvious reality that he is a mere shadow of his former All-NBA self. The 2009-2010 season proved that he can still be a dominant force in the middle, but only in certain situations and only for short spurts. The day is not far off when he will have more value to TNT in front of Camera Two than to any NBA team.
Zydrunas Ilgauskas: Ditto O'Neal, except that his status with the team is not such a foregone conclusion. As Cavalier fans, we love Big Z. We love his heart and soul, his love for the city, his love for us, and his 20-foot jump shot (when it's falling). Z's been around longer than many Cav fans, and his departure would leave not only a hole at the center position but a vast hole in our collective hearts. Unfortunately, a new head coach will not have the emotional ties to Z that we do.
Mo Williams: His future lies as a two-guard, not the PG that the Cavs force-fed him to play. What many critics have failed to realize is that he's been out of position since being traded from the Bucks. That can work, and work fine, during the regular season, but it handicaps both him and the team in the high-intensity playoffs. During this off-season, the Cavs absolutely must find an effective point guard, so Mo can move back to his natural position and not worry about guarding all those smaller, super-quick PGs like Rajon Rondo, Jameer Nelson and Chris Paul.
Anderson Varejao: Andy is a natural power forward, quite capable of giving the Cavs what he's given them the past two years -- which is to say hustle, rebounding and defense. Should Shaq and Z both leave, however, Andy is the team's only current option at center. Yes, he can play center, but asking him to do that for any length of time is like asking Mo to be a point guard.
J.J. Hickson: One of these years, J.J. is going to blossom into an all-star power forward. But is this the year? And -- should he be asked to spell "Wild Thing" at center -- will that retard his development? Big, big question marks. But J.J. is one of the few talented youngsters on this roster who holds some hope for the Cavaliers being a playoff contender three, four, five years down the road.
Antawn Jamison: Pity Antawn. Touted as the "missing link" to a championship, he came to the Cavaliers late in the regular season and never really had a chance to fit in with Shaq. He was misused on offense and misused on defense, especially during the playoffs. Given his age, he's got two, maybe three more years left. But because he can do wonderful things with a basketball, he could become the Cavaliers' leading scorer -- and, perhaps, rebounder -- this coming season. I still love the guy.
Anthony Parker/Jamario Moon: I've lumped these two guys together because they came to the team during the same off-season and were basically asked to be the same player, though Parker was given the starting nod. Both are role players at best.
Delonte West: Redz gave us some wonderful moments. At times, he was amazing. At other times, he disappeared. Most of the time, though, his personal problems were a tremendous distraction. He's one of the current Cavs who probably should not be on the roster come November, for the sake of game-to-game consistency and the team's collective peace of mind.
Daniel Gibson: Poor Boobie is not a play-making point guard, nor is he quick enough to defend opposing PGs. He's a shooting guard in a point-guard's body. Sorry to say that -- unless he's spotting up for a three-pointer -- Boobie is of no value whatsoever.
Sebastian Telfair: Bet'cha didn't know that the L.A. Clippers import averaged 9.8 points and 3.0 assists in 19.3 minutes per game with the Cavs. Coming back from an injury, he only played four games with us -- but could this be the true point guard for whom we've been searching since, well, forever? Hey, let's give the guy a chance. What've we got to lose?
Jawad Williams: One of the surprises of 2009-2010, Jawad can play both the "two" and the "three" adequately. If the 2010-2011 roster needs a decent small forward, he can effectively come off the bench. He needs more seasoning, but he can be a valuable sub.
Leon Powe: Can Leon become the Leon he was with the Celtics? He gave flashes of brilliance (well not brilliance, more like competence) in limited duty. As the 2010-2011 season begins, he should be given the opportunity to compete with J.J. at power forward if Andy is otherwise occupied at center. Otherwise, he's just a third power forward on a team that needs expertise at other positions.
Danny Green: The North Carolina product is a classic 'tweener. At 6-6, 210 pounds, he's not really big enough to play small forward in the NBA, and the Cavs' roster is already crowded with two-guards. To his credit, in very limited duty last season, he didn't make the mistakes usually associated with rookies. Green will probably be a reserve for the rest of his tenure in the NBA, however long or short that is.
Don't forget: The Cavaliers retain the rights to 6-11 center Sasha Kaun and 6-5 shooting guard/small forward Christian Eyenga. According to the Plain Dealer's Terry Pluto, Kaun "played well for Moscow CSKA and is expected to be the starting center for the Russian national team." Eyenga, on the other hand, averaged just 3.8 points and 2.0 rebounds in a minor Spanish league (ACB) -- and his limited talent is not in an area of need.
OVERALL PROSPECTUS: With or without You-Know-Who, the Cavaliers need a good starting center and a good point guard in order to remain championship contenders. They are fairly well set -- and very flexible -- at shooting guard and the two forwards. The bench may not be as strong as last season, but it should be adequate.

In 2010 the Indonesian economy grew by an estimated 6.1%, compared with a growth rate of 4.5% in 2009 and an average 5.7% annual rate over the 5-year period 2003-08. The current account was essentially in balance but inflation, estimated to have exceeded 5.5% in 2010, compared with 4.6% in 2009, has recently been rising fast, forcing the Central Bank to increase interest rates in early 2011.
The Indonesian government has over the years taken several regulatory steps to encourage the expansion of Islamic banks in the country. The target is to increase Islamic banking assets to 5% of total banking assets over time. Due to the favourable regulatory environment, the growing economy and the largest Muslim population in the world, Indonesia thus offers a very attractive destination for Islamic banks.
ABG's representative office serves as a base for the Group to conduct research on local banks and their potential for acquisition and for assessing the business potential of the country from the Group's perspective. The representative office is also responsible for maintaining contact with regulators and major banking groups in Indonesia and for preserving the image and brand value of the Group. With trade flows between Indonesia and many of the countries where the Group operates growing rapidly, the Indonesia Representative Office proactively identifies business opportunities and generates leads that are directed towards ABG subsidiaries

STARBUCKS & JOE CAMEL - Philip Morris funds itself with what we eat and drink, in case you didn't know. One of the G-Crew, who would prefer to maintain his anonymity for obvious reasons, was a drone to the Starbucks hegemony for most of the years I've known him. He's not proud of that. And with good reason.
As you sip that double Hazelnut Latté (ASIDE: "Latté" is a word that should always live in infamy, by my lights, and one that only a yuppie or yuppie-wannabe would ever utter --- where I live people still drink real coffee) consider the fact that your purveyor of choice, after having partnered with Well Fargo Bank in many places in California, now has a Licensing Agreement with Philip Morris.
Yes, THAT Philip Morris. The tobacco company responsible for the Joe Camel advertising campaign and trying to convince little kids that smoking cigarettes, a known carcinogen, is cool...
Don't get me wrong here. I've been smoking for over thirty years. They will have to pry this addictive weed from my cold dead fingers. AND, MAN, I WISH IT WERE SOME OTHER WAY! As many people have documented, nicotine is far more addictive than heroin. If you don't start, you're among the lucky.
I know people who have stopped smoking cigarettes FOUR OR FIVE TIMES.... They still smoke today.
WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH G21's FOCUS ON FOOD THIS WEEK?
Besides Starbucks, because Philip Morris --- yes, THAT Philip Morris, the tobacco company --- is another multinational conglomerate here is a partial list of some of the foodstuffs you get from them:
Starbucks is just the latest to get in bed with "Joe Camel."
Like Archer Daniels Midland, cited in the previous RDR column, this company is driven by one motive and one only: net profits. It could give a good damn about your health or the health of your children. Remember, these are the guys who went before the United States Congress and said they didn't believe that cigarettes were addictive despite the research of their own corporate scientists proving that they are.
These are the guys who signed off on making cigarettes MORE ADDICTIVE by upping the levels of nicotine.
What a bunch of socially responsible altruists we have here!
In return for their perfidy, they got big year-end bonuses and will walk away millionaires with their grandchildren's educations completely covered...
And now these are the guys from whom you buy your food.
If this series of RDR articles has been about anything, it has been about making you think about a basic of human existence: sustenance.
We have tried to bring up international and local perspectives on who we are as human beings today and what we want in our lives. I can only hope that you will support long-running and interlocking focuses like this one.
It relates back to what we had to say earlier in the year about our water, too.
I would recommend that you start at one of our favorite sites, Adbusters.org and read this article on changing the rules of limited liability.
You see, back in 1886 --- think about that --- the courts here in the United States decided that CORPORATIONS HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS AS PEOPLE. The very idea, in our post-modern world, is patently ABSURD.
But that was the era of Robber Barons, and there is now a way to reverse this wrong-headed decision. Follow the link above to get started.
EDITORIAL CORRECTION: Even our Editor gets it wrong sometimes. Philip Morris, while having closed the deal with Starbucks is NOT the company responsible for "Joe Camel" or Camel cigarettes. The culprits in the latter case are RJR (formerly known as R.J. Reynolds.) G21 apologizes for the error. -- Ed. (Thanks to Tac at smokescreen.org.)
I find the very philosophy behind Starbucks, locating themselves intentionally near Mom & Pop coffee shops in an effort to close them down, morally repugnant. You can call that capitalist competition at its best, I call it predatory.
There is something you can do to level this "playing field," if you are so inclined.
This week's Poll - Is food something we should worry about?
RDR RECOMMENDED SITE OF THE DAY: You've been wondering, "Hey, G21, where can I get the latest skinny on what's going on over in Hong Kong?" We thought you'd never ask. Here, try visiting HongKong.com.

How Do You Prefer Ashlee's Hair?
How Do You Prefer Ashlee's Hair?
Wow. Ashlee Simpson looks totally different in all of these pictures. I really like the soft and solid color of her hair in the third image best, but I have to hand it to a gal who isn't afraid of change. Constantly coloring your hair this dramatically sure takes a lot of courage. Which do you prefer?

'Big Brother 13' Recap: Rachel is a Crybaby in the Bushes
Wednesday, July 20, 2011

This episode of
Big Brother 13
is all about Rachel (surprise), but on the bright side, it's about how unbelievably stupid she is and how bad she is at playing this game. She can criticize Cassi for being a floater and playing the victim and having bad gameplay, but she's not the one crying in the bushes.
The real focal point is the Power of Veto competition, where Brendon and Rachel are chosen to play. Rachel wants Dominic off the block so Cassi can get backdoored, but she wants to win so she can make a deal with Dominic first. That's like wanting to have your cake and eat it too, which is ironic, because for the next two weeks, Rachel can't eat cake (or much of anything).
The Power of Veto Competition
The challenge is to chew gum while walking across a balance beam and sticking a whole bunch of pieces to a wall. If they fall off they're out, unless they volunteer to take two weeks of slop.
Jordan falls first and wants to take the slop, but Jeff yells at her not to do it, because she has no chance of winning and he doesn't want her to be cranky. Rachel is upset and makes catty comments about the HoH not being competitive, which upsets Jeff. Rachel then falls and instantly takes two weeks of slop. She then falls again, eliminating her from the game and still leaving her with two weeks of slop. Then Dominic wins!
Here's where my glee is at its highest point. Dominic is safe AND Rachel doesn't get to make a deal with him AND Rachel is on two weeks of slop. So even though she gets what she wants (Cassi nominated and going home), she also has to suffer for it.
After the PoV competition is when the real fun begins. Jeff yells at Rachel for her snarky comments about Jordan, and even Brendon is against her, agreeing that Rachel taking the slop was a dumb move, and that they shouldn't fight and get emotional. But Rachel is incapable of not being emotional, so she tries to make a big deal out of competing, and then she runs into the bushes to cry like a baby. It's not funny that she's crying, or that she runs into the bushes to do it, it's funny that she is the ONLY person who doesn't realize how ridiculous and stupid she's being. Rachel loves talking about how you can't play the game emotionally, but she does it more than anyone.
Rachel is wrong. She's 100 percent wrong. Jeff knows it, Brendon knows it, all the other HGs know it. There's no reason for this to be happening except for Rachel's own stupidity, and that's what makes it so damn funny. Equally funny is that Brendon is lying through his teeth when he tries to cheer Rachel up by siding with her, because he knows that she's wrong, but can't say it because they're engaged.
Brendon asks her to apologize and she mockingly says she will, but she doesn't mean it. Then she throws the world's smallest pity party about how America hates her, and if that's not playing the victim, I don't know what is. Rachel thinks that she should have complete control over every single person, decision and competition in the house, like a God Complex on steroids.
Jeff then chats with Jordan and makes the best argument ever. He can't stand Rachel because she's doing the exact same things she did last season and expecting different results, which he says is the definition of insanity. Amen, Jeff!
The Power of Veto Ceremony
After all that drama, the saddest part is that Jordan still feels compelled to stay with Rachel and Brendon and nominate Cassi and Shelly. Jordan doesn't want to send Cassi home, but she does because, at this point in the game, she has to stick with volatile, stupid Rachel. I'm sad that Cassi has to suffer, but at least America, and all of the HGs, got to see who Rachel really is: a big fat crybaby who pouts in the bushes whenever she doesn't get her way.

Martin Gerber's tenure in Ottawa looks to be coming to an end.
Senators general manager Bryan Murray spoke to the media today about the goaltender's future amidst reports from Calgary that the Flames are interested in acquiring Gerber to back up Miikka Kiprusoff.
When asked at practice on Monday about the possibility, coach Mike Keenan seemed luke warm at best.
"I have no idea whether [Flames general manager Darryl Sutter] is pursuing Gerber or not, but I think it's out of the question. His contract is a little heavy. If you look at contracts and players available in that position, I think that [Curtis McElhinney] is the best solution for us."
Even if a trade isn't made, Gerber's future in the NHL doesn't seem to be in Ottawa.
"There is one team that has expressed some interest," Murray told the media. "I told him that by tomorrow we will either have some arrangement made for him or we will assign him to Binghamton"
Murray spoke to his goaltender for an hour on Monday about the situation, and the general manager hopes that Gerber will get another chance in the league.
"As I've said many times I like this guy. I like his attitude," Murray stated. "He is disappointed but he understands the business enough to know that if it's not going to work here he got to go play and hopefully it will work that his career doesn't end in Ottawa that he has another team and other options as he goes forward."
Gerber's teammates also feel for their former number one goaltender.
"Hockey is a tough business," centre Jason Spezza said. "When you see a guy going through what Gerbs is going through you feel for him."
Alex Auld, who was brought in to back up Gerber when the season started, spoke about how Gerber has handled his demotion and recall from the AHL.
"He's been in some tough situations and he's never really complained about it," Auld stated. "Obviously he's not happy - at the same time he's been a real pro about it."
After signing as a free agent with the Senators in 2006, Gerber was named the team's number one goaltender; however he was outplayed by his backup Ray Emery and ended up sitting on the bench as the team advanced to the Stanley Cup finals.
After Emery elected to undergo off-season surgery, Gerber was once again thrust into the number one role in Ottawa, and this time he ran with it as the Senators got off to a record start. When Emery returned, the situation became tenuous and the team crumbled and went in to a free-fall that saw them barely sneak into the playoffs before being swept by the Pittsburgh Penguins.
This past season the Senators signed Alex Auld as a free-agent to back up Gerber, however the 34-year old struggled out of the gate as Auld seized the number one spot. With the recent recall of Brian Elliot it became apparent that Gerber's future in the NHL lies elsewhere.
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.

puts, _putws
Write a string to stdout.
int puts( const char *str ); int _putws( const wchar_t *str );
Returns a nonnegative value if successful. If puts fails, it returns EOF; if _putws fails, it returns WEOF. If str is a null pointer, the invalid parameter handler is invoked, as described in Parameter Validation. If execution is allowed to continue, the functions set errno to EINVAL and return EOF or WEOF.
For information on these and other error codes, see _doserrno, errno, _sys_errlist, and _sys_nerr.
The puts function writes str to the standard output stream stdout, replacing the string's terminating null character ('\0') with a newline character ('\n') in the output stream.
_putws is the wide-character version of puts; the two functions behave identically if the stream is opened in ANSI mode. puts doesn't currently support output into a UNICODE stream.
Under Windows 2000 and later, _putwch writes Unicode characters using the current CONSOLE LOCALE setting.

- —Belial, Devil Survivor
Belial (ベリアル, Beriaru) is a demon in the series.
The 68th spirit in the Goetia, he is a mighty king and powerful. He was created next after Lucifer and is of his order. He appears in the form of a beautiful angel sitting in a chariot of fire and speaks with a comely voice. His office is to distribute preferments of senatorships and to cause favor of friends or foes. He bestows excellent familiars and governs 80 legions of spirits. Whoever summons him must have offerings of gifts or sacrifices or he will not give true answers to their demands, but even then with will not spend more than one hour on the truth unless constrained by divine power or his seal, to be worn as a lamin by the person who summons him. - The Lesser Key of Solomon

Megami Tensei IIEdit
Belial rules over the Crazy Plains.
Shin Megami TenseiEdit
Belial appears as the Red Count. He, along with the Black Count, Nebiros, used the souls of humans to create an illusionary town for Alice to play in, in the series' first reference to their relation. When confronted, he will be indestructible until confronted with "the gushing jar", which will siphon him within. Following this, Lilith will appear and demand the jar containing Belial; if refused, she will freeze the protagonist and claim it anyway.
Shin Megami Tensei IVEdit
One of Lucifer's men stationed at Lucifer Palace. On the Law Route he calls Flynn a foolish lamb who has given up his sense of self to God and tells him that it is only through the existence of demons that humans have progressed and evolved, proclaiming God's order as bringing degradation and lowliness. Thus he challenges him to a battle to the death. On the Neutral Route he gives advice out of goodwill, warning that frail humans cannot survive without yielding to God or demons and attempts to convince Flynn to join the path of Chaos. Once he realizes that it won't work Belial seeks to crush him and humanities hope. In both battles he tells of how he reached enlightenment, deciding to fall with Lucifer and give humanity the gift of countless ordeals as order makes the world stagnant. He laughs upon defeat, stating that Flynn will grow stronger as a result as part of God's paradox/the essence of Chaos, proclaiming glory to chaos as he crumbles.
In the Challenge Quest, Errand for the Apocalypse, Belial has sealed the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in a Domain at Ikebukuro in the world of Infernal Tokyo. He appears after the four are defeated and introduces himself. The demon lord admits that he never expected that anyone could constantly repel the messengers of God like Flynn. Belial regrets that he is from a different world as he hoped for a human of Infernal Tokyo to achieve such a deed, but believes that the ones who could most likely perished before they ever got the chance. He keeps his promise and rewards Flynn, telling him farewell and that he hopes to meet him in another world, vanishing afterwards.
Last BibleEdit
Known as Vaerial in Revelations: The Demon Slayer. Vaerial along with Mephisto, Baal, and Lucifer, is one of the four Gaia Meisters responsible for the monster outbreak. When the party uses an Ark to travel to Gaia and the Luciferium, Vaerial will intercept the party in his own Ark and attack. After Lucifer is defeated, Vaerial will appear in an amnesiac state in the Nest of Zord, where he can be recruited.
Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless ArmyEdit
Belial is required to contact Alice, one of the secret demons in the game. Belial and Nebiros are both required to fight Alice, which is likely a reference to their role in Shin Megami Tensei.
Persona 4Edit
- "One of the 72 demons of the Goetia. It led the cities of Sodom and Gamorrah to ruin, and prosecuted Jesus. Those who summon Belial are granted high social status."
- —Persona 4 Compendium
The second-highest persona of the Devil Arcana, Belial specializes in Fire. It can be won in Shuffle Time when exploring Yomotsu Hirasaka. He must be fused with Nebiros to create Alice.
Devil Children Red/Black BookEdit
Belial can be obtained by getting 200 demons in the Demonary.
DemiKids Light & DarkEdit
- "A war-loving demon that manipulates the unwary in order to achieve its own evil goals."
- —Demonary, DemiKids
Devil SurvivorEdit
Belial is one of the contenders for the King of Bel title. He appears on Day 6 at 18:00 on all routes. He is the last forced fight of Day 6, and the last fight before you must choose which ending path you will take at 19:00. However, if Haru dies prior to Day 6, he won't appear at all.
Devil Survivor 2Edit
- "One of the 72 demons invokes by King Solomon. He leads 50 legions of demons as their chief.
He is said to appear before his conjurer as two beautiful angels in a chariot of fire." - —Devil Survivor 2 Compendium
Belial appears as an unlockable bonus boss on the 5th Day, but the player must have beaten Nebiros earlier on the 3rd Day to face him. Perhaps as a callback to his fight in the previous Devil Survivor game, Belial's fight takes place in Bugeikan, and uses his signature move (which inflicts fire damage and has infinite range) at every opportunity. The demons accompanying Belial also have their resistances altered such that they innately absorb fire.
Defeating Belial will cause him to retreat, earning the player the Belial Repeller title and unlocking the battle with Alice on the 7th Day.
During the fight with Alice, Belial appears alongside Nebiros. He is fairly stronger, having been buffed to Level 91, and will once again cast Gomorrah Fire at every turn to damage one of the player's teams. Several of the demon teams on the map also have their fire resistance altered.

Minister Lenihan launches Simon Cumbers Media Challenge Fund
Minister of State for Development Cooperation and Human Rights, Conor Lenihan T.D., today launched the Simon Cumbers Media Challenge Fund 2005.
In launching the Fund, Minister Lenihan said;
"I certainly think it is a fitting tribute to Simon to rename the Fund in his memory and I am very grateful to his family."
"We must always remember those journalists who have been killed or injured in the course of their work, but most all we must always remember that they put themselves in harms way to help give us a better sense of the world in which we all live."
"The Fund is designed precisely to help journalists and media organisations to cover international stories about the challenges facing human development, to make sense of those challenges in all their complexity, and in the process help make sense of them for Irish people."
Simon Cumbers died aged 36 after being shot by gunmen in the Saudi capital, Riyadh on 6th June 2004. He was working with BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner in a suburb of Riyadh, when they were fired on by terrorists. Simon Cumbers died at the scene and Frank Gardener was critically wounded.
A little over a year after Simon's tragic death, Minister of State Lenihan, in close consultation with Simon's wife and family, decided to rename the Media Challenge Fund in his memory.
The purpose of this Fund is to financially assist journalists, media organisations and development practitioners in producing feature pieces around themes relating to international development.
26th October 2005
More Information and background on the Fund can be found at: http://www.dci.gov.ie/grants_media.asp

I've realized that I just don't enjoy kissing. I love to be close to the person, and I like quick pecks on the cheeks, lips, and neck, but I don't enjoy deeper kissing. I do it, but I always feel as if I'm doing it for the other person, not for me. Holding or being held by the person just does a lot more for me sexually. Is there something wrong with me? Am I abnormal? What can I say to my partner, and what can I suggest as a replacement?
I caught my partner lying about his past. It was a few weeks ago and we "cleared it up" yet I still feel out of place. At first he told me that he was a virgin (I didn't really believed him since he was 24 and he told me his ex was "kinky") but as I continued to question him he said that there was penetration. I was pissed at that moment but I decided to ask him what is it to have sex to him and he told me he considered penetration sex. Yet he applied a few excuses and I can't find to believe him, could he be lying about more?
I don't feel anything at all when I touch myself. It just feels like nothing inside and doesn't arouse me at all. The only way I can masturbate is by rubbing the palm of my hand on my clit. When my boyfriend and I are together, he likes to finger me. But like I said before, I don't feel anything. It gets pretty awkward when he's just fingering me and it's not feeling like anything and it just drags on forever, while he has no idea. What should I do?!
I'm bisexual, and I really would like to tell my friends. I mean, they seem pretty open-minded, being pro-gay rights and generally accepting. The thing is, they're being open-minded from afar. If they found out that one of their closest friends is bisexual, I'm not sure they'd be too keen on the idea of having a bisexual girl friend. One even has said that she wouldn't want to have sleepovers at a girl's house if she liked girls. I'm honestly not attracted to her or any other one of my friends (well, maybe one a little, but I'd never make her uncomfortable or anything) but they don't get that. I don't know how to tell them that I like girls but that doesn't mean I like all girls. I'm not sure they'd believe me. Help, please?
I'm a 17 year old girl and have been dating this guy for a year and a half. I love him and know he loves me. For about the past six months I've been giving him handjobs. We started out slowly. (Through his pants, though his boxers, and then of course through nothing.) Well, recently he has been trying to convince me to let him fingering me. I told him "no" and he was pretty respectful of that. Each time we do something though, he asks for it. When I say no, he keeps saying 'okay, I'll wait for you" When he kept asking, I said wait till I'm in college and we'll see. Then, he said okay again. Once he asked me why I wasn't ready and I said because I was scared. When I couldn't explain why I was scared he got a little frustrated. He still keeps asking me for fingering and as I say no, he says "It's okay I'll wait for you." I just want to know though, how I can get him to stop asking, it kind of feels like he is pressuring me. I've tried to find a reason for my fears, but I can't place my finger on it other than I'm not ready. (It doesn't help that an old of crush of his- who is both of our friend- is telling him about how her boyfriend gave her first orgasm through fingering.)
I'm 16. I've gone through 8 sexual partners in the last year. And 5 of them only in these past 3 months. I've only had one boyfriend in my life. I cheated on him. Twice.
I feel like I'm easy, maybe I am. I will tell myself that I won't have sex with a guy, and then I end up doing it anyways. In that moment I truly do want nothing more than to get it on. I am juggling two 'sex buddies' one of whom is a friend and the other is more of a stranger I sleep with. I suppose it wouldn't be such a bad thing except I only get sex when they want it. Frankly I'm a little fed up with this routine. I get horny too, but apparently that doesn't count. I enjoy sex, and I'm not afraid to say that. I can achieve an orgasm almost every time I have sex. But as soon as were finished I feel like shit. I don't really know why this is. I have inquired that maybe I use sex as a tool to make myself feel wanted and cared for. Or that I'm guilty to have maybe abused sex. Or simply that I am fucking... and not making love. I don't know what to do or what this is about. I don't know if you can console me, but any efforts and advice would be appreciated.
I am 17, me and my boyfriend of two years had a spree of sexual intimacy. We did everything every day, couples times a day here and there. I read a lot about how masturbation can help to bring a woman to orgasm, I don't feel the need to, but doesn't it help that my boyfriend and I basically did every day? I have lost my extreme sex drive, I feel like no matter what it wont happen for me (orgasm). I love giving him what he wants, he tries to give me the same but it never happens? Is there any way past masturbation that can help for an orgasm and bring that sex drive back to my life?

Hi ladies and Gents,
So here is my story, i have a Tippman a5 that just keeps breaking paint.... im pretty sure its breaking after it leaves the cyclone feeder, becuase when i pull my hopper to see if i have chopped paint in the cyclone its fairly clean just a little paint leaking out through the bolt / barrel hole slowly into the feeder, they are also breaking at slow firing rates!!?? i mean one pull of the trigger a second and say like maybe every 20 shots or so i will break paint its realling annoying and if i use my response trigger and open up it is worse, it breaks with in 5 balls it seams... i switched out my bolt that was int he a5 repair kit the one that came with the red power tube, as well as switching back the the original power tube, i also barrowed another barrel and barrel adapter from a guy who also has a tippman a5 and he has no problems with his stuff so im kinda getting down to the i dunno what to do now that i trade everything... i also have the squishypaddles and the upgraded vortex ratchet and that seeems to move smooth as can be, i also replaced the orange ball stopper thinking that could of been it also... i would apreciate some info or suggestions if any of u have some...every time i break a ball i tear the whole thing apart clean it up and reoil it and bang try it again and i got some breakage=( frustrating i went out on a 24 hr scenario game this weekend and everyone else who had a5s were shooting flawlessly 12balls a sec more on full auto at my side pod after pod hopper after hopper and never broke a single ball. lol they were throwing down cover fire as i cleaned my barrel every 30 seconds it seemed =((((( |

Here's what's happening. The cyclone is causing a very small crack in the paintballs. This small crack isn't big enough to let paint ooze out. That's why the cyclone is clean. The crack in the paintball shell greatly reduces the structural integrity of the paintball. The paintball makes it into the breech just fine but when you pull the trigger and the air pressure hits the ball, the ball explodes down the barrel. To test this theory do this.--- Load the marker like you're going to play. Shoot one ball. Then take the barrel and air off and remove the next ball that is sitting in the breech and inspect it for a very small crack. If you keep doing this you will eventually find balls with cracks in them.BE SAFE!! WEAR YOUR GOGGLES AND REMOVE THE AIR SOURCE BEFORE REMOVING THE BALLS!!!
You can do this without air. Just push the plunger on the cyclone in and let your finger slip off the edge of it so that it SNAPS back. This wil mimick how it works when fired with air.
The balls are hitting the edge of the hole as they leave the cyclone.This is what is causing the small crack. If you can shamfer the edge of that hole it will help. If that's too hard to get to I would just try using paint with a thicker tougher shell.
Good luck, let us know how it goes. Edited by DVLCHLD - 09 September 2009 at 5:32pm |
I've never seen anyone own the woods because of what marker they use.

Once you have the original parts back in the marker I would suggest
checking the air fitting on the side of the marker for two things:
You didn't mention your air source, which makes it harder to help you. |

The State of New York has a pointed message for drivers in the state regarding distracted driving. Keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a statement. If you fail to do so by talking on a handheld electronic device or texting while driving, you pose a risk — to yourself and others — of causing injuries, property damage and death. Under a new state law, you also take the chance of incurring significant fines and driver's license-related penalties.
Distracted Driving Laws
Thanks to the new law, New York's anti-distracted driving laws rank among the toughest in the country, said New York Department of Motor Vehicles Commissioner Barbara Fiala. The new, tougher law changed texting while driving from a secondary offense to a primary offense, which means that it can now trigger a traffic stop. Police no longer must have another reason for making a stop and issuing a traffic ticket. Drivers cited for using handheld electronic devices while driving face a $150 fine and three points against their driver's license in New York.
Despite these deterrents, some critics think the state could go even further. For example, several safety groups think a texting while driving citation should result in four points on a person's license, according to the Star Gazette in Elmira, New York. There have also been proposals for new technology that would shut off electronic devices in cars.
Citations for Texting While Driving
Since the new law was enacted, traffic citations for texting while driving have more than doubled: Between July 2011 and early February 2012, New York law enforcement officials issued 7,495 texting while driving tickets as opposed to only 3,248 tickets issued in 2011, according to the Gazette. Commissioner Fiala said that that number will only increase in the upcoming year as the dangers of distracted driving truly register with the public.
Those who have been charged with using a handheld electronic device — either talking on the phone or texting while driving — should contact a skilled traffic violations attorney who will fight on your behalf to get the charges reduced or even dropped.

The story of Harmon Killebrew offering his son batting tips is incredible! I can image his son swinging his senior league bat like a pro after a lesson like that! I think I'd like to know a little more about bat history and maybe progress to collecting non composite bats. Great article.

These savory muffins are made with oude kaas, that delicious aged Gouda. I recommend Olde Remeker, but Old Amsterdam from the supermarket will do nicely too. And if you can't find that, simply use a good Parmesan cheese instead. The use of cumin seeds is, of course, a play on komijnekaas (Dutch cumin cheese).
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
- 2 1/2 cups self-rising flour (225 g)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup oude kaas (plus a little extra for on top), grated (180 g)
- 3 1/2 tbsp butter, melted (50 g)
- 1 1/2 cup milk (350 ml)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
Preheat oven to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C). In a large bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients (except the cumin). In a separate bowl, beat the wet ingredients together, and add to the dry mix. Stir until just combined. Spoon into a greased muffin tray (about 3/4 full) and top with a sprinkling of cumin seeds and some extra grated cheese. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the center.
Makes 12.
For a more pronounced cumin flavor, simply add toasted cumin seeds to the batter.
You could also add chopped sunblanched tomatoes, finely diced roasted veggies and/or your favorite fresh herbs.
