Spike, please either remove Mhaille's votes on VFD as well or put mine back. Of explain why you pick on me like a dog picks at fleas and leave Mhaille alone. To be fair, you must be fair (or fairly fair). Thanks. Aleister 20:19 13=2=14

edit Gavin Rossdale
Hey, I was wondering if I could keep the Bush article on Gavin Rossdale page. He doesn't have anything about Bush and he formed Bush, so there must be a article about that. Also, the Gavin page is old because Bush reformed. I just want people to shit their pants and laughed and have a funny joke with the page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 18.104.22.168 (talk • contribs)
- What? Who? You can't keep anything, because Anons don't have userspaces to keep anything in. Pick a user name, please. Also, I have gone back a week in the Huff Log and can't figure out what article you are talking about. Spıke ¬ 05:05 16-Feb-14
- Oh, I see; you are Metallica81baby editing un-logged-in. No, you may not. Your edit to Gavin Rossdale is ranty, obscene, parts of it are in all capitals, unfunny, and unencyclopedic. If you would use your user name, you would see that I wrote this to you earlier. Spıke ¬ 05:17 16-Feb-14
edit UnSignpost moving once again
Could you, please, move Uncyclopedia:UnSignpost/20130102 to UnSignpost:UnSignpost/20130102? It is protected. Thank you! Anton 11:00, February 18, 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks! Anton 11:52, February 18, 2014 (UTC)
- Am pleased that the Advanced Namespace Pulldown didn't trip me up again and create UnSignpost:UnSignpost:UnSignpost:something. Thanks for your tireless work getting the organization of these articles to make sense. Spıke ¬ 11:59 18-Feb-14
- And thank you, ScottPat, for your equally useful clean-up efforts using VFD. Spıke ¬ 12:25 18-Feb-14
- You are thank. And welcome you all! Anton 17:32, February 18, 2014 (UTC)
- This admits of only one interpretation: Anton is high on whatever the Wikia servers have been high on today. (Once, I got "Please configure the wiki" — which I interpret as installation of a new MediaWiki version that will make everything break, again.) Spıke ¬ 17:52 18-Feb-14
- I saw this as well. But the appearance of Uncyclopedia, has not changed right? Anton 17:56, February 18, 2014 (UTC)
- ScottPat's signature has. Spıke ¬ 17:58 18-Feb-14

- PPS--Don't you think that 22.214.171.124 is news? The Anon with a quick hand with the Categories who doesn't want to register? Who do you think he is? Spıke ¬ 18:16 18-Feb-14
- An Anon with a quick hand with the Categories. I am afraid to make a more specific guess.
- Separately, do you think about an article about in-jokes that I've just written at UnSignpost:UnSignpost/20140218 is better than Suddenly, In-Jokes? Anton 19:27, February 18, 2014 (UTC)
- That is breezy enough to allay all my previous concerns. And a much better read than asking OMGWhatHaveIdone to write a "brief" note about himself, if you haven't seen his Change Summaries. Spıke ¬ 19:37 18-Feb-14
edit Absurdity
Sorry Spike. Wondered if you thought this article is funny because I am struggling to decide whether it is or not. Yes, it is written in the style of what it is however surely a more clever and original idea would suit it. Thanks. Sir ScottPat (converse) 14:12, February 18, 2014 (UTC)
- You woke me up for this? (In other words, why are you apologizing?) The article is not funny and it is not clever. Someone saw a page at Absurdity and decided that he had a blank check to write any junk, provided it is absurd, and we will revere it as yet another of our "Pages that look like the things they're about". The author knew he was writing crap and even prepended a template to label it as such (supposedly conferring even further immunity).
- What would be clever is to write an article about reductio ad absurdum, the debate technique of extending an opponent's argument to the absurd, combined with several examples that — how shall we put this — don't quite do it right. (They might help the opponent make the argument, they might be random rather than extrapolations, or they might be nitpicky instead of coherent.) Spıke ¬ 16:04 18-Feb-14

edit Hooligan
Not that I'm complaining but I see that one small addition to an article that I added has now turned into a collaboration re-write!! In that case I will go all out on it and do the best I can with it. Sir ScottPat (converse) 08:31, February 19, 2014 (UTC)
I am a bit puzzled by the "firms" section. I do not know too much about English football fans but I've never heard them being refered to as firms. The only organisation I know that refers to itself as "the firm" is MI6 (British Secret Service) so maybe it might be a joke on that but I highly doubt it.

edit Revert war
YOU LOOSE —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.127.116.11 (talk • contribs)
- Editor trying to spit my words back at me (from the Block Log) might be last night's contributor to RationalWiki (butt-hurt to see it nominated for deletion and then rewritten by ScottPat with quality that the editor will obviously never match). That edit tried to add "Fat Aardvark" to the gallery of offsite celebrities in the old version of that article. Romartus banned him for this post. Spıke ¬ 14:11 20-Feb-14

edit Pages slow to appear
A technical problem....I've noticed recently that whenever a new forum or VFH page is created or a vote added on VFH Uncyclopedia takes about a day to display it. I added a forum last night (that would be about 14hrs ago) and it still hasn't appeared yet on the village dump. This is a new phenomena and I wondered if you (or other admins) know why this is happening (it might even just be my computer/internet). Thanks. Sir ScottPat (converse) 10:47, February 21, 2014 (UTC)
- At about midnight UTC I edited {{Lead articles}} for UnNews and was astonished to see my revised copy of the template in one tab, and a fresh new Front Page in another tab that did not pick up the changes. The easiest way to understand the concept is that we have servers that accept edits, servers that dispense text of pages, and occasionally they have little spats, throw ash trays, and so on. Yesterday was a bad day for the servers in general. I know of no new problems. Spıke ¬ 13:29 21-Feb-14
edit Grammar: Who vs. whom
Now, regarding User talk:Anton199: You made a spelling "correction" to my text ("surely at the hands of referees whom passers-by claimed were 'gay' despite the best efforts of the government") only if "passers-by claimed them were 'gay'" is English. I had to think about this before typing it. Referees is not the direct object of the embedded sentence but a subject of "to be." Spıke ¬ 13:29 21-Feb-14
- Hmm...I'll take your word for it as you do this kind of stuff for a living but for some odd reason (probably a consistency of using the wrong grammar in this case throughout my entire life) it doesn't read to me naturally unless I replace it with a "whom". Sir ScottPat (converse) 13:43, February 21, 2014 (UTC)
- passers-by claimed them
- passers-by claimed they were gay
- whom passers-by claimed
- who passers-by claimed were gay.
If you agree with the first pair, you must agree with the second pair. Spıke ¬ 13:47 21-Feb-14
- Yes, yes I see. Maybe it's because I regarded the sentence as a "passers-by claimed them to be gay." I don't know though. Not sure about the American education system but the British one teaches English with almost no emphasis on learning rules, just learning how to speak naturally and as I am not a linguist scholar, I can only judge English by what sounds/reads naturally and what doesn't (and of course colloquialism (of which I have to use at least two different forms per day) can bias that heavily). You don't need to bother reading this I'm just thinking things over as a type. Sir ScottPat (converse) 13:51, February 21, 2014 (UTC)
Your rephrasing is also correct English. Rules are your friend; learning them saves you from having to rely on patterns you have heard. The rule in this case is that whom is not mandated by the fact that it was moved to the first word in the clause, but determined by how it is used in the clause. (For the fact that neither of the things linked by "to be" is regarded as the direct object: I blame the British.) Spıke ¬ 13:55 21-Feb-14
- Must admit the World would be so much easier to live in communication wise if we were all to use Spanish! (Mind you there's many different variations and pronounciations of that!) Sir ScottPat (converse) 14:00, February 21, 2014 (UTC)
And still rules to learn, though I have always considered theirs more elegant than ours. Now, back to the start, which one of you is going to write an UnNews on how the Russians were robbed??? Spıke ¬ 14:02 21-Feb-14
Yes, by a gay call of a gay referee in a nation where that is supposed to be illegal; see the UnNews talk for other story ideas. Spıke ¬ 14:16 21-Feb-14
- Yes nice idea. I see I was going to write an UnSignpost article on the VFP reformation and I think it will be more fitting if Anton wrote the UnNews article as he may take an interest in ice hockey (which I only do up to the extent of making sure Canada win it again so that I can add a gold medal to the British Empire medal table (only kidding!)) and he's a Russian and could write it more passionately. Sir ScottPat (converse) 14:23, February 21, 2014 (UTC)
edit RationalWiki on VFD
Are you going to close this and archive it? Sir ScottPat (converse) 14:28, February 21, 2014 (UTC)
- My omission, now rectified. I was going to do so, last night, but the 24-hour clock had not run out. (I am not going to archive it until tonight, as people ought not have to pore through the archive to see what happened to it, except when we are scraping against the 20-ballot limit.) Spıke ¬ 14:33 21-Feb-14
- Now, are you going to reread WikiHeaven and reconsider your nomination??? Spıke ¬ 14:37 21-Feb-14
Thanks. Most certainly. Sir ScottPat (converse) 14:37, February 21, 2014 (UTC)
Very good. I'll tamper with VFD now. I don't know whether you're finished yet so I won't add anything but how about a joke on how wikiheaven has limited storage (like the jokes made on heaven having limited places). Also maybe make jokes about active users and inactive users at wikiheaven as this would emphasise that there is more to the afterlife than just wikiheaven. Finally, how about some jokes about how wikiheaven is not as good as it claims to be as everyone can use it so the definition of good is contradicted and broad (a joke on the reliability of wikipedia, a free wiki anyone can edit). Just some ideas. Tell me if you like them and even if you want me to add them in. Sir ScottPat (converse) 14:43, February 21, 2014 (UTC)
- I am "done" in the sense of making the article Keepable, but no articles are ever "done." Some of your ideas seem at odds with the theme of the article that WikiHeaven is eternal and infinite, but I suggest you create a new section (though the final section is a good final section) and I'll post-edit. Wonder if post-editing happens in WikiHeaven. Spıke ¬ 14:49 21-Feb-14
- OK you reverted my attempt to include the joke about wikipedia reliability. Can you fit the same idea in a different style of joke in somewhere? Not sure what was random about it. The Bible and the Qu'ran are supposedly books that tell you how to be moral and good and unlike a wikiheaven's morals are not free for anyone to edit. The KFC bit was just an add on joke about KFC, bit memish, so maybe it was best to cut that. Sir ScottPat (converse) 15:28, February 21, 2014 (UTC)
Thanks. The ideas are good, but they had better locations, and I didn't want to see this piece of serious-seeming allegory end in goofiness, though the same goofiness is fine en route as an ingredient. Now, you touch on another idea, or I mis-read it as one: Reliability, which yesterday and today makes me think: server reliability. Spıke ¬ 15:53 21-Feb-14
edit Perfect tense in UnNews
Another puny attempt to complain about a grammar correction by Spike....I hate to call you up on these but either you need to learn or I need to learn (most probable). You changed Banzaikitten's UnNews article twice from sentence that read, "had stated/said" to "stated/said" when it is common on the news to hear a report in which it says, "after the recent floods this December, David Cameron has stated that he will pump more spending into funding reservoirs" (couldn't resist the half-pun). So either seems fine to say in my opinion. Also not sure it necesarily means refering to far back in the past all the time as you can say, "has said recently." Just a thought. Sir ScottPat (converse) 10:15, February 23, 2014 (UTC)
- I did not claim that the simple past was any more correct than the perfect tense. News articles (especially fake ones) specialize in making themselves relevant to the reader by reporting to him what just happened. So the assertion that Cameron has stated something (presumably at some time in the past) is less gripping than that he stated (when we interviewed him just now — perhaps even a change of position). If you have occasion to quote Cameron's established position on something, you would indeed use the perfect tense. Spıke ¬ 12:08 23-Feb-14
- So can you say "David Cameron has just stated"? Anton 13:04, February 23, 2014 (UTC)
- That too is correct English but poor style for an UnNews, as it wastes words calling attention to the immediacy. (Extra! Extra! New words just came out of his mouth!) The point of the sentence is to report the utterance. Spıke ¬ 13:13 23-Feb-14
edit User:Banzaikitten
The turn around of that user was amazing. One second an innocence, next second full of hate. I really do hope that this hate has not been fed to him for this discussion only reminds me of the play Olleana. A sad loss. Sir ScottPat (converse) 20:55, February 24, 2014 (UTC)
- Do not trust cats. No, I am joking. Anton 13:20, February 25, 2014 (UTC)
edit The Qu'ran
Better yet: Don't let someone who can neither sign, register, or spell tell you what you can and can't make fun of. Genius. --Lucifuge Rofacale (talk) 23:50, February 25, 2014 (UTC)
edit UnNews:Scotland could possibly go to war with UK in event of independence
I reverted the renaming of the article.... The reason it says "possibly" is because it's a parody of a BBC News article in which a story was spun out of "possibly" "maybe" and "a source tells me". If you revert it to UnNews:UK girds for war with free Scotland it doesn't work, the whole point of the thing was to parody the tendency to spinning "maybe" so people read it as "definitely". Small things are very important when it comes to teh satyres. --Zarbag (talk) 12:03, February 28, 2014 (UTC)
- As you wish, but non-catchy headlines, even to parody non-catchy headlines on the Beeb, are non-catchy. Spıke ¬ 12:23 28-Feb-14
edit NotM
I think the rule says that when a nominee reaches +5 score, he automatically becomes NotM. So TheDarthMoogle should also be one, right? I can give it to him. Anton 16:30, March 2, 2014 (UTC)
- This recent rules change coincides with the renaming of NotM given that nothing was happening on a monthly basis. I don't mind, but he won't care, as he loudly resigned in the middle of last year. (See Sec. 19 of his talk page and the linked-to blog.) Editing here wasn't enough of a reward for him and getting pestered to go offsite was a punishment.
- Separately, thanks again for reinvigorating VFP, which Romartus has helped organize. I'm going to be a non-participant, however, as it costs extra for me to look at photos and, in any case, text is my specialty. Spıke ¬ 16:38 2-Mar-14
I see! Even in the deopp forum, it was noticed that article writing was one of your strong points! And I'll give TheDarthMoogle the award. It may even encourage him to return. Anton 16:43, March 2, 2014 (UTC)
- It is not like we have to go buy extra bronze to mint these medals. Spıke ¬ 16:48 2-Mar-14
edit UnNews:"Britain unrecognisable" claims UKIP leader Nigel Farage
Sorry there Spike, I was so engrossed in editing it, I didn't realise you were trying to edit it at the same time! Thanks for the help and changes though! Sir ScottPat (converse) 20:11, March 2, 2014 (UTC)
- It was I who saw the Edit Conflict. I had edited so much that I bulled on despite it, and then went back and put your changes back. Apart from spelling (apologise) and commas, swivel-eyed loons is cute as a description in passing, but as the very first line, it reads like advocacy. Spıke ¬ 20:13 2-Mar-14
- Edit Conflict: Hahaha! Swivel-eyed loons is the greatest quote from the history of British politics. It was used by a Conservative politician last year (or maybe year before) to name the extremist right-wing members of his constituents who he accused of switching allegiances to UKIP (that may not have been the reason, I only can recall from memory, I'm sure google serves as a better answer) however it promoted every liberal comedian in the country to name Tory and UKIP voters as "swivel-eyed loons" simply because the Conservative Party did and so it must be acceptable and allowed. Sir ScottPat (converse) 20:23, March 2, 2014 (UTC)
- PS--You are laying this on thick! Advocating the "change" of being newly against change, for a change, is a cute conundrum except when taken to the length of a brain-teaser. And you ought not to make an airtight case that Britain's "national" traditions were the work of foreign nationals, but rather state the point as crisply and briefly as you can. Spıke ¬ 20:20 2-Mar-14
- Forgive my ignorance of British political culture! "Swivel-eyed loon" is delightfully colo(u)rful, especially given that history, and giving a biased description while seeming to give a straight description is the cluelessness we love in the UnNews narrator. My only point is that putting it before the first verb might have led readers to ask whether you were writing the piece to advocate something. Spıke ¬ 20:27 2-Mar-14
- PS--Now on the Front Page. Spıke ¬ 20:34 2-Mar-14
edit Racial Identity Disorders
As the most recently active admin, you're it :)
We've had a complaint about Racial Identity Disorders, saying it's racist and offensive rather than funny. In particular, they mention the section "African Americans and RIDs". Please can you check the article and decide whether it is suitable for Uncyclopedia. I don't need to know the results of your assessment, just keep/delete/edit as needed. Thanks -- sannse (talk) 01:13, March 5, 2014 (UTC) (p.s. remember I will probably miss a reply here, but you know how to reach me if you need to :)
- The article is the sole contribution of 2006 Uncyclopedian Lemmy Winks. Development since 2006 mostly centers on the photo captions. The theme is racial self-identification, especially self-mis-identification, and it has a few good lines, such as whether "Oreos" really taste good. Provocative but neither our worst nor gratuitously offensive. Nor is it clear that it pursues offense above pursuing humor. In the unlikely case you are reading this, your complainant is welcome to this page to discuss it further--or to edit the article himself. Wider opinion at Votes for deletion is one option. Spıke ¬ 01:28 5-Mar-14
- I have done a complete copy-edit of the article. There is now no gratuitous offense to the races apart from the stereotyping involved in imagining "patients" who adopt the wrong one. Spıke ¬ 02:04 5-Mar-14
edit Signature
Seeing how no one else is going to admire your signature, I shall put in a word with, "Oh my god, I never thought Spike would ever change his signature ever. It always has been and always will be!!!" Also I might change mine I still don't like the colour. Sir ScottPat (converse) 18:07, March 7, 2014 (UTC)
- But last month I toyed with using an image (a non-starter, as I usually can't see it), then dictated a font that was guaranteed to include the dotless "i". Yesterday's play is based on learning about

- I coded not just the above but
to cover browsers done when this was not yet part of the standard but a Mozilla proprietary extension; that is, Mozilla 4.0. If you are running something even earlier, you might not see either shade of blue in the gradient. Sheesh, I thought I was the dinosaur here. Spıke ¬ 02:39 8-Mar-14 - I hope the combination of

edit American Revolution (Part 2)
I still don't like the infobox. The seal picture granted is funny, deserves to be in the article but maybe not there. Also the writing in the infobox is random and not that funny, not that encyclopedic, just babyish and full of boring, unoriginal stereotypes. Perhaps add some unusual stereotypes. What I always love doing is relating the events in a history article to the present, subtly but in a way to say, "Oh look we forgot to learn from this history and we made the same mistake again" so maybe try some of that in the article. Sir ScottPat (converse) 18:13, March 7, 2014 (UTC)
- I improved the Infobox somewhat but agree with what you say, and that the approach you describe is the best take on History articles. My work was primarily to write two new sections and to make the original theme, the goofy "revolution" of the continent with lever and fulcrum, a little less goofy, though it is an additional sore thumb. You are welcome to dig in and improve it further. Spıke ¬ 18:19 7-Mar-14
edit WP:Talk:Uncyclopedia
SPIKE that comment was not directed at you...it was directed at the trouble makers who started the revert war. The block of text which you've written about the fork and and your conflict of interest ... is only going to make the conflict of interest case seem far worse and it's going to solidify the wikipedia editors' idea that this is an inter-site war rather than one of wanting the best article possible for uncyclopedia. I'm going to clarify my post on the talk page. I'd recommend the same. --—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Shabidoo (talk • contribs) 15:55, March 5, 2014 (UTC)
- I didn't take anything you wrote personally, only used your remark about waste of time as a segue to other aspects of this episode. The conflict-of-interest gambit was raised exclusively by the Forkers. I stated that they seek to use Wikipedia as one tool to augment their site statistics. It does not make me look bad to state the truth. Nor do I care. If you want to keep this from looking like an inter-site war, talk to your troublemakers and tell them to mind their business, as we mind ours. Spıke ¬ 16:16 5-Mar-14
...I have been reading through the wikipedia talk page and fully agree with your position. A conversation about another users removal of info claiming it wasn't backed up has been completely misinterpreted by spooners as you removing info on the spoon and has caused all kind of hatred. I do think a coordinated effort needs to be put in place on updating the history section of the article as it does appear to say that nothing much has happened since 2008 bar the spoon. I realise this may be hard to get across to the wikipedians who don't care and simply assume an irrelevant argument is being expanded into wikipedia. Unfortunately I have no wikipedia account and have no intention of getting one, even if I joined in it would only worsen the situation but well done for sticking up for the truth! Sir ScottPat (converse) 18:31, March 7, 2014 (UTC)
- I did remove information; namely, the information on the rationale for last year's insurrection, to satisfy David Gerard and Beetstra's claim that there was no evidence of it apart from the rebels' own statements. (Our own Simsie provided a citation, but it turned out to have the identical problem.)
- You can see on my talk page there that the attempt to get me to "choose a more tranquil life" by unwatching that article goes way back before the current round, in which they try to pry me away with formal charges. Before the new guy's substantial edit of the page, I had made their history of Uncyclopedia more concise. Wikipedia's perennial focus, and the original emphasis of the current debate, is notability; a great lot of our history is not history to anyone other than us, and never made the newspapers. Any really coherent explanation of anything is attacked as "original research," meaning that spending a lot of time editing is not as enjoyable as it is here. Spıke ¬ 19:14 7-Mar-14
edit UN:REQ award from 2012 but you're getting it now anyway...

Oh and by the way, I aim to keep this page maintained and up to date. ~Sir Frosty (Talk to me!) 23:59, March 7, 2014 (UTC)
- I did what? Oh, that one! Not originally about scarlet fever at all, just an article that was tagged "too short," but when the old Scarlet fever article was VFD'd, I saw my chance and I took it. Good to know that {{Reqaward}} is another venerable Uncyclopedia institution that is springing back to life. Spıke ¬ 02:38 8-Mar-14

As concerns the possible problem with the main page, I made a reskin myself: it is at User:Anton199/IPod Car reskin and could you please check it out? Thanks! Anton 15:42, March 8, 2014 (UTC)
- This mock-up does demonstrate how it could fit on the main page. But I still think the article belongs in our nonexistent UnSalesBrochures project: How is it funnier than our usual encyclopedic description of the development of this product to use the alternate persona of the protagonist himself? For example, the protagonist is never going to admit that his effort is absurd, while the encyclopedia-article writer is free to, using either blunt or subtle humor. Spıke ¬ 16:37 8-Mar-14
Well, I think it will be pretty obvious that the protagonist's efforts are absurd even from what he says, and especially from what he says. This just another way of showing it, and I don't think it is worse than the ones you mentioned, only less encyclopaedic. Anton 16:43, March 8, 2014 (UTC)

- I see! it is not that you are here so infrequently. About a year ago, they added a new input field to the interface, a pulldown menu of userspaces. You specified the User: space, both using this input field (by default, since it was the userspace the page in question came from) and explicitly; and got a page name in User:User:. It trips me up all the time. Spıke ¬ 19:03 8-Mar-14

edit Uncyclopedia:Ban Patrol
In response to your remark regarding my report: yes, this is me turning myself in again as originally but subtly implied. You hence owe me another ban. Gabriel Turner (talk) 23:55, March 8, 2014 (UTC)
- What is it with you? (Do not reply during your ban.) We Admins are duty bound to monitor Ban Patrol for user reports of incivility, and remedy it even at the cost of getting in the middle of a conflict. To use this to get people to pay attention to you (and not for the first time) requires a ban, longer than the one that Frosty gave you the last time, and preferably long enough to get you to stop doing it, and return to writing funny stuff and to let others do likewise.

edit Linux
Hey SPIKE, just wanted to thank you for the warm welcome. I think the next thing I'll be tackling is the "SteamOS" page. After that, I might ask to have a bash at the Linux page itself (seems a little weird to have Linux, Uncyclux and Command Line all resolve to the same page). Barbariandude (talk) 15:35, March 11, 2014 (UTC)
- The Linux article is nothing but a pointer to Command line because we do not have a real article on Linux. And you are nominated. Spıke ¬ 18:46 11-Mar-14
That was fun. Will probably do some expansion on it tomorrow. Like it? Barbariandude (talk) 13:57, March 12, 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, I have been busy beating back the website's vandals. I did notice SteamOS and took the liberty of adding it to the {{Unix}} navigation template. Spıke ¬ 14:00 12-Mar-14
- Linux looks like a real article! The latter sections are choppy; I recommend that you take each topic and flesh it out with some more text. At the extreme are lists of one-liners, and the risk there is that anonymous hackers add cruft to them, overnight, every night. I do not like one of your techniques, which is to use irony and state the exact opposite of the truth, as again, it assumes your audience knows exactly what you know about the history of Linux. As an MS-DOS maven, I can only assume such passages will be laugh riots to someone — but not necessarily our actual audience, whom I admit I have never met. Rather than imagining how fun it will be for two of your co-workers, see what we have to recommend about additional advanced techniques and clever choices of words to goose it for any arbitrary reader. Cheers! Spıke ¬ 14:32 12-Mar-14
- Sounds reasonable. Will flesh it out either tomorrow or late tonight (still got stuff to do at work) and see if I can make it more accessible. Barbariandude (talk) 14:54, March 12, 2014 (UTC)
edit Thanks for some back-up
I didn't want to start another climax in a high-tension moment but as a spoon had decided to brag about how it was so much better and I thought I might as well explain to them why wikia haven't brainwashed us and that it's our own decision. It comes down to comedy tastes really. Anyway I added five more points because I hadn't the time this morn. Sir ScottPat (converse) 19:18, March 11, 2014 (UTC)
- Hey, don't think I don't see it! You are certainly allowed to ruin the forums I make, but discussing your achievement behind my back right after that... I would have never expected that of you! Bye, I am going to work on biology (which is not my favourite science, by the way). Anton 19:40, March 11, 2014 (UTC)
- Anton, I have clarified my views on your talk page, I did not intend to oppose your idea and wasn't really talking about your idea (maybe I should have done a seperate forum) I was simply responding to other users' views on the spoon (full apology on your talk page). Sir ScottPat (converse) 20:11, March 11, 2014 (UTC)
- PS - The above original comment was a talk about a user on the spoon bragging about it being better than us, not you. I'm sorry if you thought that we were refering to you. Sir ScottPat (converse) 20:13, March 11, 2014 (UTC)
edit UnNews:Talking lion recruits child soldiers
What do you think of this?....I've never written an UnNews item before so feel free to make any suggestions for improvement. I personally think it's featurable. --Lucifuge Rofacale (talk) 16:48, March 12, 2014 (UTC)
- Well-written; it needed a few tweaks to fit the house style (see UnNews:Style). Always add {{Original}}, as I have now done, when you aren't basing it on a real news story. The website main page is not my department; I did not rush to put it on the UnNews Front Page as I'm not sure if it will appeal to Front Page readers, as there is no basis in current events. Spıke ¬ 17:02 12-Mar-14

Thanks very much. It's actually based on a true story, namely a member of the EDL carrying this sign: http://thingsinwalesandthingsinoxford.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/shit-edl-idiots-say.html --Lucifuge Rofacale (talk) 00:24, March 13, 2014 (UTC)
- The thing about UnNews is to base it on news, not on blogs on "idiots." Your UnNews seems like fun, as it ascribes evil motives to the Narnia characters and does take the form of a news release. It's less fun knowing that it can be read as a slap at people you disagree with, no matter how amusing their stupidity--as I also said about Salon.com. Spıke ¬ 01:37 13-Mar-14
Okay. I just saw that reference to EDL supporters saying "Do Not Submit To Aslan" on Russell Howard's Good News and decided to turn it into an UnNews item. --Lucifuge Rofacale (talk) 03:33, March 13, 2014 (UTC)
- I think that's not so much a basis for your UnNews (as in: If you want a cracked version of News X, here is Y) but the inspiration (as in: Here's the X that made my mind think of Y). That's good stuff for the talk page, but most UnNewses have a basis (or say they don't with {{Original}}). Spıke ¬ 01:52 14-Mar-14

edit 1990s
As you may know, I am in the process of improving the 1990s article. However, I'm not really knowledgable when it comes to the culture of that decade. Do you know anybody who is, and could perhaps add some more content to the article? I want it to be a parody of the typical "90s kid" who thinks he's "old" and hates the children of today because they have "nothing good to speak of."--EpicWinner (talk) 01:32, March 15, 2014 (UTC)
- You've asked me this before. The '90s are a blur. If I were to sum them up, I'd have to go to the library and look at old newspapers on microfilm. Romartus or Simsilikesims might have more vivid memories. I did not have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky. Spıke ¬ 01:36 15-Mar-14
How does the article look now? Do you think I should try to shorten the list of 90s shows? I know there are a lot (and I mean A LOT) of shows from that time period that are fondly remembered today, but not all of them have Uncyc articles.--EpicWinner (talk) 02:46, March 16, 2014 (UTC)
- Jeezus! Why did you ask me? your memory is much more vivid than mine. Code the quote the way we do them (with {{Q}}), resequence the initial photo to take up the white space, ditch the footnotes in the Intro — you are wisecracking to yourself and probably before you have engaged the reader — and take care to avoid pissing off readers before they finish the Intro, even "niggas." You have two huge lists. These should be expanded into at least a paragraph on each show (funny, not just a snide personal opinion the way some Anons do) or deleted; probably a little of both. You are not imagining how many Anons will add stupid crap to these lists if left in their current shape. If a single show is expanded to article length and is too obscure to attract readers, then either your writing should do so, or you should not waste time trying; in which case, merely listing its title isn't funny. Apart from all that nitpicking, it is a heroic effort. Spıke ¬ 03:06 16-Mar-14
- No offense, but why is {{Q}} used in intros rather than {{Nicequote}}? Personally, I think it looks hideous and unprofessional (though I guess it's a matter of opinion). As for pissing off readers, the article is meant to parody nostalgia-blind "90s kids" (or, as I like to call them, "defeners"), the ones who say stupid shit like: "When I was a kid, we actually PLAYED OUTSIDE," "There are NO GOOD CARTOONS THESE DAYS!" "12 yr. olds these days twerk, get pregnant, drink, smoke, swear, and kill others. No wonder this generation sucks. When I was a kid, we respected our elders," "We had NSYNC, not Justine GAYber," "Kids today don't know the Beatles and Queen, they only know One Erection" or "Back in MY day, we had GOOD rappers like Biggie and Tupac who rapped about REAL ISSUES, not stupid n-words like Kangay West and Lil Gayne who rap about money, bitches, and guns. The only good rappers now are white ones like Eminem and Macklemore (no I'm not a racist)." So, that's why the humor of the article is offensive/irreverent.--EpicWinner (talk) 03:42, March 16, 2014 (UTC)
edit UCL
Good revert on this article. Just popped by to say that "plummeting down the league table" almost certainly refers to University academic league tables not sporting league tables. Sir ScottPat (converse) 19:35, March 15, 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks; surely Anon wanted to deliver his slap — before all else — rather than study the author's apparent comedy plan. Spıke ¬ 20:10 15-Mar-14
edit Unban me please
I'm that User:Wakkoswish123 dude. It's been several months since the ban. I've changed since then. Please unban me if you think I should be unbanned. --22.214.171.124 22:53, March 15, 2014 (UTC)
- I do not remember whether you are a furry or an anti-furry, but I do remember that, at the end of each of your previous bans, you made a bee-line for Furry and proceeded not to make anyone laugh but to state your case again. Indeed I think it is less likely that you have grown a desire to write humor and have elected to do it here, but that you want restored access to the same page to write the same rant. Spıke ¬ 23:06 15-Mar-14
I'm not gonna make the same mistakes. (seriously. Also that furry article seems like a rant.) --126.96.36.199 04:09, March 16, 2014 (UTC)

edit Muhammad: The Authentic Biography
I am quite worried by this article. I feel that it reads more as a memish Islamic hate article than a comedy article. I have attempted to make the intro sound a little less offensive. Also the title is one that no one would look up. Perhaps better for UnBooks. I do like the idea of a picture story of Muhammad's life with more humour in though. For example the "Shit be upon him" sounds offensive unless you explain that the living conditions of the time meant that there was very few baths around and that this may have been an occurence. It is the start of something that could be a good article but is almost bordering on downright offensive now. Sir ScottPat (converse) 10:12, March 16, 2014 (UTC)

Runway Recap: Highlights from California College of the Arts Spring Fashion Show
On Friday night, an eager crowd gathered under a tent at the California College of the Arts for the school's 2010 Senior Fashion Show to watch four- and five-piece collections from 18 graduating seniors head down the runway.
A distinctly artistic thread ran throughout the collections. Instead of an eye toward trends or the commercial, the looks instead revealed a willingness to experiment with textiles and sculpt fabrics into a panoply of diverse shapes and silhouettes. Here, seven looks from the show that we just had to share:
1. Laura Schmits' imaginative jackets and use of fabrics in various stages of decay caught more than our eyes. At the end of the show, Schmits was honored with an emerging talent award from Surface magazine.

text: | Another American in trouble in IranJanuary 9, 2012 - Stephen BrowneAn Iranian-American former U.S. Marine, Amir Mirzaei Hekmati, has been sentenced to death in Iran for being a CIA spy. According to his father, a teacher at a community college in Flint, Michigan, he's not a spy and was only in Iran to visit his grandmother. Who knows? Would his father even know if his son worked for the CIA? I once knew an American intelligence agent in Bulgaria. (A family friend, that's how I knew him, I don't normally hang around those circles.) His father knew about his career, but his 13-year-old daughter didn't. Of course, the Iranians could just be thumbing their collective noses at us. Remember the three hikers who allegedly wandered across the border by mistake and were arrested and held for some time before being released? And remember Roxanne Saberi, the Iranian-American journalist also arrested, convicted, and sentenced to prison before being released? So what's going to happen to Hekmati is anyone's guess right now. The Iranian regime may make a show of mercy as they did with the hikers and Saberi, after seriously messing with their heads. On the other hand, none of those others were sentenced to death. And in any case, there's not a thing we can do about it under international law anyway - not that the Iranian regime gives a fig for international law. The reason is, Hekmati has dual citizenship. Iran doesn't recognize dual citizenship, many countries don't, and considers him Iranian but that doesn't matter either. I know, because my son has dual citizenship (as does my sister.) He was born in Warsaw, Poland to a Polish mother. We registered his birth at the American embassy and got him an American passport right away. The embassy guy at the passport desk explained it all to us. To begin with, governments don't really like dual citizenship, it makes things complicated. They recognize that it happens though. The rules are, my son has to enter Poland on his Polish passport. He has to enter the United States on his American passport. Everywhere else he can choose the cheaper visa. (But we should really check and see if it's still a crime in Russia to have two passports on you.) If either country has a draft, the one he's in when he comes of age gets him. (Which introduces further complications.) And here's the rub, the embassy guy told us that if he gets arrested in either country of citizenship, the other country can do nothing. Nothing under the laws of nations that is. How we got Roxanne Saberi back was to buy her out with the freedom of some Iranian terrorists arrested in Iraq with American blood on their hands. We'll see. (And by the way, doesn't Michael Moore claim Flint, Michigan is his home town? You don't suppose Moore would be willing to go to bat for a fellow Flint-er?)

The preview had me liking the idea, any one else up for the idea? Elesa is the up coming gym leader. Just go click on the preview to see what I'm talking about.
Ash fan. Multi Ash shipper =]
okey I don't understand
U do notice Elesa is older then Ash
I mean if this wasn't the case then I would have ship Ash with Candice or Jasmine
Why does it matter if Elesa is older than Ash? Age differences do exist in relationships.
aka Insanish Danish
So why did u think Elesa & Ash might be a couple
It is true that at the preview it was kind a cute when she was shown approching Ash
Well I guess I probably would choice skyla if it was about look
It wouldn't hurt to see a fanfic.
So what this new shipping should be call ? Lightingshipping
U know after watching today's Episode I really feel angry at writer for not aging Ash
Then That way I could ship Him with Elesa or ther cute other older gym leader with ease
It just that Pokemon is a anime so We can expect Ash & Elesa to have a romantic relation like real life
And I have doute that Writer actually gonna go for this
If only Ash was older then I would have more hope for those two
After all Ash is just 10 while Elesa probably be 15 or 20
But Ash Suppose to be 15 or 16 year old by now
When u think like that there no surprise why Ash doesn't have any sense in romance
It's pretty common for a 10 year old boy
Oh, It so hard, To actually see good girl's like Elesa pass by when Ash should be same age as them if he only get to Age
I wonder If Elesa Like younger Man
At least then we might have a hope
U know, It would cool If Elesa gave Ash a Friendly Kiss After Ash beat her
It would be Shocking

Interesting ship, you have here.
Sad thing is- I don't think we'll see too many episodes of Ash and Elesa, if he wins the Match in the episode next Thrusday, which I'm hoping him to.
And they might just treat it as the common "Gym Leader/Trainer relationship" and have hardly any/no hints.
However, we can always Dream.
"I shall have some peace there for peace comesdropping slow."- Lake Isle of Innisfree, W.B Yeats.
Fanfics are your best bet with this ship.
It's not like it has more than a point one percent chance of ever actually coming to fruition in the anime.
And that bothers anyone how? Everyone else in this fandom who supports something can only hope, because no matter how "close to canon" their 'ship is, the keyword is: "close".
Please do not wander into a thread, especially when it's vague if you support the couple or not, and say such things. Please do not say such especially if you do not support it. It's just more respectful. If you do support it, again, be clear on that point.
Avatar artwork by アカネღ ღ PRIA is my haunt, 45500 is my identity,
the black stronghold is my fortress.
Same with basically every ship in the series. It's not gonna stop people from shipping it though.
aka Insanish Danish
Not of such a magnitude and age differences matter more when you are as younger and Ash is ten and even if you disregard the intro to BW001 he's still only like what 15 at most. Elesa is old enough to be model. When age differences of great magnitude exists it leads to problems that's why Groucho Marx got divorced so many times.
But this is Pokemon. Ash and Elesa having an age difference doesn't matter; they'll still be shipped if people want to.

Refuge compliance report shows more compliance
The National Corn Growers Association announced that the enhanced Compliance Assurance Program, which includes on-farm refuge assessments, an online survey and IRM education and awareness, is seeing strong success and an increase in the number of growers planting their corn refuge.
The CAP is designed to improve compliance with Insect Resistance Management requirements. The Agricultural Biotechnology Stewardship Technical Committee, a consortium of Bt corn registrants, submits an annual CAP report to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency describing industry-coordinated compliance assurance efforts for Bt traits.
In 2011, ABSTC launched a new IRM on-farm assessment program that focuses more assessments on growers who may not have purchased sufficient refuge seed according to their purchase records.
"The on-farm assessment process has proven to be an effective mechanism to identify Bt corn growers who are not following refuge requirements and provide assistance so that they can achieve compliance. The vast majority of growers found out of compliance in 2011 were found to be complying with the IRM requirements during the 2012 season," said Mike Smith, ABSTC IRM subcommittee co-chairman.
In addition to on-farm assessments, an anonymous IRM grower survey was conducted. Highlights of the survey indicate a decrease in the percentage of growers not planting any refuge acres and strong adoption of integrated refuge products, which include Bt and refuge seed interspersed in a single bag or seed box.
The CAP continues to be effective for all Bt corn products with structured refuge requirements
In 2012, the majority of growers surveyed planted the required refuge size on their farms and the majority of growers surveyed planted a refuge within the required distance for all of their Bt corn fields. Furthermore, the survey indicates that the percentage of growers not planting any refuge acres has declined from 16 percent in 2011 to less than 10 percent in 2012.
"We are pleased to see that the number of corn growers not planting a refuge declined last season," said Nick Storer, ABSTC steering team member. "We will continue to focus our education efforts in areas of highest risk of insect pest resistance development in the Corn Belt, as well as the cotton growing area, where IRM continues to be important."
Adoption of integrated refuge products result in automatic compliance in the Corn Belt
The 2012 survey was the first year integrated refuge products were included, and 50 percent of growers indicated they planted an integrated refuge product on their farm. ABSTC projects that the adoption of integrated products will continue to increase, contributing to the overall increase in compliance, which helps preserve Bt corn technology durability.

For 114 years, the United States Coast Guard Yard has built, repaired and renovated ships in Baltimore, Maryland, for the U.S. Coast Guard. The history of the Coast Guard Yard heralds scores of success stories and recognizes the shipyard's vital contributions to the United States Coast Guard for over a century.
Listing of Yard Commanding Officers
In April 1899, the Revenue Cutter Service (RCS) signed a lease with a prominent Baltimore physician and attorney for 36 acres of farmland surrounding Arundel Cove. Two months later, LT John C. Moore, USRCS, arrived aboard the side-wheeler COLFAX to begin establishment of his experimental shipyard. The following year saw the arrival of the CHASE, a training ship for the RCS. The crew set up permanent quarters at the Arundel Cove "Depot," marking the beginning of the Coast Guard Academy. In 1905, Congress authorized the purchase of the Depot's land, added additional acreage, and the "Revenue Cutter Station At Curtis Bay" was permanently established. Throughout its first decade, the "Depot" repaired many life-saving boats, constructed a variety of small boats, conducted overhauls, and painted RCS cutters.
The Depot's facilities were consistently improved upon during the decade of the teens. New construction included a boiler pumphouse, a foundry, boat, sheetmetal, electrical, paint, upholstery and blacksmith shops, new mess halls, barracks, garages, recreation building and storage structures. The engine school was housed in a shed along the west Depot boundary. When World War I broke out in 1917, the Coast Guard became part of the U.S. Navy and several Navy units were sent to the Depot for repairs and conversion.
During the 1920's, production of boats, canvas work, and numerous other articles for the needs of the Service was stepped up. Extensive overhauls and repairs were performed on the then-modern vessels YAMACRAW, SENECA, SEMINOLE and many 100', 125' and 175' patrol boats and tugs. The 500 personnel of the Depot included civilian employees along with enlisted personnel. The Depot had gained a nationwide reputation for the fine quality of its work. Its small boats were famed throughout the world, wherever life-saving stations were located or cutters patrolled the seas.
By the 1930's, many of the original buildings and equipment at the Depot had become outdated. Funds were obtained through Congressional appropriations to modernize the plant. A new boat, gas engine and machine shops were constructed and equipped; a 40-ton marine engine railway was installed. With the transfer of the Lighthouse Service of the Department of Commerce to the Coast Guard in 1939, buoy construction became another major Depot function.
With the advent of World War II, the depot underwent extensive expansion to meet war demands. Improvements included a 3000-ton floating dry dock, two shipways and a 320' by 60' concrete pier with tower crane. The Depot, now comparable in size and functions to a medium-size Navy shipyard, was officially designated the U.S. Coast Guard Yard. The shipyard's work involved repair of scores of surface vessels including submarines, buoy manufacturing, production of canvas work for the Coast Guard, and building over 300 small wooden boats annually. The new work era included the construction of the largest cutters ever built at the Yard – the 255' cutters MENDOTA and PONTCHARTRAIN. The Yard employed 3100 civilian workers during World War II. Beside the assigned military complement, the Coast Guard's war time Training Station (Boot Camp) added to the numbers of personnel at the Yard.
As the Yard reduced its workforce to fit the Service's post-war needs, vessel overhaul, gun repair work, buoy construction and miscellaneous manufacturing made up much of the Yard's workload. The era of the 50's saw the construction of three hundred 40' steel life saving patrol boats, the Coast Guard Lightships SAN FRANCISCO and AMBROSE and small craft like the 36' 8" motor life boats. In February 1953, the first of the 95' steel patrol boats was launched at the Yard. In total, fifty-eight 95 footers were built for the Coast Guard and the U.S. Navy throughout the decade of the 50's into the early 1960's. In March, 1958, the Coast Guard Cutter AZALEA, a 100' buoy tender, was launched at the Yard.
The Yard continued to prosper during the decade of
the 60's. The first of fifty-three
cutters built at the Yard under the 82' patrol boat program was launched
in February 1960. During the
The 1970's engaged the Yard in a flurry of activity. The trades continued the manufacturing of the Coast Guard's lighted buoys, a program that had begun at the Yard during the Second World War. Begun in 1975, the Yard became the sole source for overhaul of the Coast Guard's 5"38 caliber gun mount. In 1971, the Yard completed construction of a prototype 41' utility boat that had an aluminum hull and fiberglass superstructure. The Yard built boat was adopted, and from 1973 through the early l980's, the Yard constructed 277 41' search & rescue utility boats. The Yard also has proven record for the design of experimental maritime projects. The construction of the prototype Stable Semi-Submerged Platform, or SSP, was the highlight of the 1970's. In 1974, the Yard laid the keel for a 160' single unit construction tender, the CGC PAMLICO. Throughout the remaining decade, three more 160' construction tenders were built at the Yard: the CGC HUDSON, CGC KENNEBEC and CGC SAGINAW. From the late 70's into the early 1980's, the YARD renovated sixteen 95' patrol boats. Built at the Yard in the 1950's, these cutters were in need of modernization or repair.
Entering the 1980's, the Yard constructed a prototype oil skimmer used to clean up oil spills. The Zero Relative Velocity Skimmer, ZRV, represented the best available technology in the Coast Guard's field of fast current pollution control research. The first of the new 270' medium endurance cutters, the CGC BEAR, arrived at the Yard in 1983 to begin post construction electronics work, under the program title, 270' retrofit. The Yard accomplished a retrofit on 12 additional 270' cutters throughout the 80's. Beginning in 1984, the Yard began the Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) for nine 180' buoy tenders in the Coast Guard fleet, giving each an anticipated 20 additional years of service. In 1984, the Yard recommissioned the first 210' medium endurance cutter under the Coast Guard's major Maintenance Availability Program (MMA). The Cutters, ACTIVE, CONFIDENCE and RELIANCE received their upgrades during the 80's decade. Eleven more vessels would undergo renovation throughout the 1990's before the program came to a close. The Yard's overhaul gave each MMA cutter an anticipated additional 15 years of service life. In 1985, the Yard completed a major renovation of a ferryboat for Coast Guard use at Governor's Island, New York. The KULSHAN, a 30-year old vessel bought by the Coast Guard from the State of Washington's ferry system, was renamed the GOVERNOR following renovation at the Yard. As the decade of the 80's came to a close, the Coast Guard tasked the Yard with construction of six river barges for the Coast Guard use on the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers.
After completing an extensive, four-year repair project on the Coast Guard Barque EAGLE in the 1980's, the majestic cutter returned to the Yard in 1995 and 1998 for repair availabilities. The Yard built 26 small aids-to-navigation workboats, the 49' BUSLs from 1997 to 2000. The Yard also completed the 210' Major Maintenance Availability Program in October, 1998, with the recommissioning of the cutter DECISIVE. In all, 14 of the Coast Guard's 210' cutters, respectively, underwent an 18-month, $21 million renovation project. The land-based ship handling facility replaced the Yard's nearly 60-year-old dry dock in l997. The shiplift is environmentally friendly and offers lower maintenance cost. Another milestone in a successful quality journey, the Yard became the first organization in the United States government to achieve ISO 9001 certification in 1995. The Yard became the sole source for major repair of MK 75 weapons systems and worked on both Coast Guard and international weapons systems throughout the l990's. The Yard expanded its market base in the mid 1990's to include the overhaul of the Paxman engine, the main propulsion engine in the 110' patrol boat. The Yard excelled in its capability to bring its expertise to the customer rather than the customer coming to the Yard for service. The Yard built a celebrated reputation for taking its skill "on-the-road" to the Coast Guard fleet world-wide.
In 1999, the Yard celebrated its Centennial, and a year later, saw the dawn of a new millennium and a renewed quest for continued quality service to the Coast Guard fleet. The year 2000 saw an increase in Other Government Agency work such as the renovation of floating causeways for the Defense Department. 2000 was a year of tremendous recognition. The Yard became the first organization in the Coast Guard and the first shipyard in the U.S. to achieve ISO 14001, received its 2nd Hammer Award for government improvement initiatives, and its third Unit Commendation Award for fleet readiness. In 2001, the Yard completed the first "Over-the-Horizon Boat" prototype project accommodating the 270' cutters with faster boat launching systems. In 2001, the Coast Guard Barque EAGLE came to the Yard for a repair availability and experienced its first lift on the land-based ship handling facility. In 2002, the Yard commemorated the first lift of a 378' cutter, the CGC DALLAS, onto the shiplift and began the 110' Hull Sustainment Project. That same year, Yard tradesmen renovated several Army and Marine Corp bridge erection boats that would later see action in the Operation Iraqi Freedom as well as manufactured shipping cradles that transported 110' patrol boats to the Middle East. The ex-Navy steel floating drydock OAK RIDGE went into operation at the Yard in 2003, increasing the shipyard's capability to service the fleet. In 2004, the Yard lived the Coast Guard motto, "Always Ready" and met the challenges of Hurricane Isabel that brought the highest flood tides to the Baltimore area in 100 years. The Yard initiated its Trades Trading Program that same year, introduced the Critical Chain Project Management initiative, and received welcomed news at the dawn of 2005 that the Coast Guard would bring the Mission Effectiveness Project to the Yard, a renovation project of the 210'/270' fleet. In 2006, the Yard received direction from the Coast Guard to expand the Mission Effectiveness Project to include upgrade of selected 110' patrol boats, including an asset from the Coast Guard Pacific Area. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Coast Guard honored the Yard for its achievements in the arena of environmental management systems by bestowing the DHS Environmental Achievement Award and the Coast Guard Environmental Award, respectively, to the Yard in 2006.
The Yard accomplished numerous scheduled and emergency cutter availabilities, including the first repair for a Great lakes' cutter in recent history and a short-notice "roadshow" to renew failed flight deck tie-downs on the CGC DALLAS. The Yard embraced the LEAN business concept of cleaning, eliminating and organizing a work area to improve production. The Yard undertook the largest renewable energy project in Coast Guard history in 2007 with the groundbreaking of a methane-powered co-generation plant that will provide electricity and steam to all Yard facilities for the next 15 years. The methane will come from a City of Baltimore landfill located one mile from the shipyard. And, in February 2008, the Yard graduated its first class of Trades Training students after four years of trades theory training and on-the-job instruction, an effort to assure that the Yard's future includes a high quality, highly trained workforce.
The Yard is proud to have maintained a tradition of maritime excellence that has spanned 114 years. With continued dedication to its enduring mission support goal, "Safety First-Quality Always-Deliver Early- Deliver Value," the Yard will continue to prosper and build on its renowned reputation of quality "Service to the Coast Guard Fleet" well into the 21st century and beyond!

Cemetery Angels at Easter
8 comments:
Interesting, and I love the photos. Now I want to go check my local cemetery for angels!
Jenny at Choice City NativeVery nice. We have few angels adorning our cemeteries in rural Georgia. Most old stones are simple or dedicated to the civil war.
ReplyDeleteThis is the best article I've ever seen on cemetery angels. I learn so much from you, Joy.

Secular and religious governments, plus consumerism, all seem to use the same tried and true tactics. First create a crisis add some fear and doubt, then promise to save us from it. There is no shortage of natural resources or scientific know how, but the powers that be, wish us to continue running faster and faster just to stay on the same spot. Money is a measure of wealth and that is all it is.Gold in a vault, if not put to a useful purpose, has no value. As someone said, "We have the means to start the world over again...and this time do it right." Regards, Jordan'.
KLAUS SCHWAB is the distinguished founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum—known in the shorthand of world movers and shakers as "Davos", after the Swiss ski resort where the forum has its annual meeting (the next is in January). Some critics of Davos say it's simply an arrogant talking shop of a global elite of business, politics and the media. As an antidote to Davos, left-leaning social and political activists organise the rival World Social Forum (its 2011 meeting will be in February in Dakar, Senegal).
Cassandra wisely makes no judgment on the rival forums, but we did think it would be a good idea to ask Davos-man himself for his view of 2011 and beyond. Here is what Mr Schwab predicts, and he may well surprise the critics:
2011 will be a decisive year. We will finally see whether we have learned the lesson or whether we continue to take decisions and behave as if the exuberance of the pre-crisis world would return.
It is a year where we should definitively recognize that we live in a completely new reality. The context for global cooperation, for national policies and for business models has substantially if not fundamentally changed. New movers have emerged at a much greater speed than previously foreseen. The Millennials, a generation born digital, will have a much stronger impact on social behaviour than we currently assume. Global climate change and resource security will influence our lives in substantial ways. The most decisive success factors on the global, national and business level will be the ability to anticipate, manage and mitigate risks.
One new reality is global interconnectivity and the fact that all challenges must be addressed on the basis of "togetherness". Thus the most crucial factor in accepting the new reality and confronting its opportunities and risks is our willingness to develop shared norms on all levels. Without such shared norms our reform efforts will remain at best piecemeal and at worst simply lip-service. Shared norms require principles and values. Here again, we should not look to old-world recipes since unfettered capitalism and state-directed collectivism have both been bankrupted as guiding ideologies.
Our only way out is the stakeholder concept. This means that the pursuit of our own interests can only be substantially realized by incorporating the interests of all those with whom we have a mutually dependent relationship. This is true on all levels, and in any capacity in which we take decisions: family life, society, business or politics.
In 2011, the G20 will have to demonstrate that it can address not only the necessary financial reforms but also questions of global governance, the reform of the global monetary system and the scarcity and fair distribution of natural resources. For their part, business leaders will have to demonstrate that they are truly committed to the entrepreneurial creation of jobs and to the reduction of the income gap.
Will we grasp our new reality? 2011 represents a fundamental tipping point in addressing this question.

Clayton News Daily
By Mehgaan Jones
Clayton County Police, along with officers from the Riverdale Police Department, have arrested two teens who allegedly broke into a home and stole juice, snacks, and a laptop, on Monday morning.
The arrested teens, both 15-year-old males, are charged with burglary, said Clayton County Police Public Information Officer, Sgt. Otis Willis. The names of the suspects were not released, Monday, because they are juveniles.
Willis said the Clayton County Police Department was alerted to the break-in when officers responded to an alarm call, in the 100 block of Brookview Drive, in Riverdale.
"An officer arrived and went to the rear of the residence," said Willis.
The officer saw the suspects leaving the home, and found evidence of forced entry into the back door of the home, Willis said.
According to Willis, the teens fled the scene, and the Riverdale Police department was asked to assist Clayton County Police with their capture. He explained that as the Clayton County Police officers were chasing the individuals, and Riverdale police positioned themselves to arrest them.
"Riverdale police caught one suspect, and we [Clayton County Police] caught the other," said Willis.
The exact location of the arrest, was unavailable on Monday.
"We appreciate the assistance of the Riverdale Police department," Willis said. "We do have situations where subjects run from one jurisdiction to another...it just goes to show that doesn't work."

CSS Media Types
By using the @media rule, a website can have a different layout for screen, print, mobile phone, tablet, etc.
Media Types
Some CSS properties are only designed for a certain media. For example the "voice-family" property is designed for aural user agents. Some other properties can be used for different media types. For example, the "font-size" property can be used for both screen and print media, but perhaps with different values. A document usually needs a larger font-size on a screen than on paper, and sans-serif fonts are easier to read on the screen, while serif fonts are easier to read on paper.
The @media Rule
The @media rule allows different style rules for different media in the same style sheet.
The style in the example below tells the browser to display a 14 pixels Verdana font on the screen. But if the page is printed, it will be in a 20 pixels font, and in a red color. Notice that the font-weight is set to bold, both on screen and on paper:
@media screen
p.test {font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:14px;}
@media print
p.test {font-size:20px;color:red;}
@media screen,print
p.test {font-weight:bold;}
See it yourself ! Print this page (or open Print Preview), and you will see that the paragraph under "Media Types" will be displayed in a larger font size, and in red color.

MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA) - In July of last year I wrote an editorial urging the City of Montgomery to ban handheld cell phone use while driving. The city passed that ordinance.
In fact since last year's legislative session some 20 Alabama municipalities of varying sizes have passed some form of law limiting the use of cell phones while driving.
In addition, 11 states passed text messaging bans last year, bringing the total number of states with this ban to 30.
Alabama has one of the worst teen fatality rates in the country and teenagers love to text message. Any distraction while driving is dangerous, but numerous studies have shown that texting is one of the worst, and that a ban on texting reduces accidents.
Again, this year, a bill has been introduced in Alabama's legislature to ban texting while driving. While this bill seems like no brainer… the legislature tried but did not pass it last year.
I urge Alabama's lawmakers to create consistency state wide on this matter. Follow the lead of those 20 Alabama cities and 30 states and pass the text messaging while driving ban.

thanks for you..

I cannot install 3DS max because it is saying monitor.exe needs to be closed to complete the installation. What do I do?
