Editorial Reviews: SynopsisIn this book, two communication scholars explore both the science and art of the best-female-friend-connection. They do so by sharing the stories of over 50 sets of sistahs and their sometimes silly, often heart-warming, and always-inspiring rituals of connection. In their own words, the women interviewed share what they do to create and sustain their relationships—-and how such friendships see them through the joys and hardships of everyday life.

On April 24, undergrad journalism student Torri Singer started a petition on Change.org to request that Twitter "restrict use of thinspiration language and hashtags circulating the twittersphere"—that is, ban the use of "thinspiration" hashtags like #thinspo (short for "thinspiration," a portmanteau that's come to mean inspiration to be thin), #proana (pro-anorexia), and #promia (pro-bulimia). On "thinspiration" websites and social-media pages, users post pictures, inspirational quotes and mantras, weight-loss tips and tricks, and other content designed to encourage themselves and one another to drop pounds.
"The growing 'thinspiration' presence online has led to thousands of unhealthy and dangerous blogs, chat rooms, and forums for people suffering from eating disorders to encourage others to lose weight," Singer wrote in her petition, "often by extreme measures as well as discourage those with eating disorders from seeking treatment."
As of May 8, that petition has 1,639 signatures and needs another 861 to be reviewed. Instagram, Pinterest, and Tumblr have disabled pages that aggregate posts and photos tagged "thinspiration," but Twitter's content-removal policy contains no provision for tweets that promote self-harm or unhealthy behaviors. Twitter has remained quiet on the issue; according to the petition, spokespeople have refused to comment on any specific user or hashtag.
So what's going on within these much-maligned "thinspiration" communities that makes them such a cause for concern?
I browsed through the #thinspo hashtag looking for some answers, and what I found was a distinctive collection of images that seem to pop up pretty frequently. Many of these images consist of a photograph of a beautiful, slender girl, superimposed with white words on a black background listing one item in an ongoing series of "Reasons to Lose Weight" (also a popular hashtag among thinspiration fans). They range from "for the 'Miranda Kerr' look" to "so I can have fun at parties instead of standing awkwardly in the corner" to "because the hottest guy I've ever known wants to be with me, but the last time I saw him was two years and 20 pounds ago."
These ubiquitous "Reasons to Lose Weight" all come from the same corner of the Internet: a Tumblr called 100 Days to Change Myself (also sometimes referred to as the 100 Day Project), curated by 17-year-old Texas resident Paige Padilla.
Padilla is different from other thinspiration bloggers, she's quick to point out. Her Tumblr, she says, started in 2012 as a thinspiration page partially populated with content submitted by followers, but more recently, with the rise of pro-anorexia and pro-bulimia content within the thinspiration community online, she's made an effort to emphasize that girls (and guys) should lose weight in healthy ways.
Still, Padilla has frequent encounters—and inevitably deals with some territorial overlap—with the pro-eating-disorder community online. She often has to take action to stop her Reasons to Lose Weight content from being repurposed by pro-anorexia and pro-bulimia websites. So I enlisted Padilla's help in understanding why the thinspiration movement has flourished online, what steps pro-eating disorder groups are taking to preserve its endangered presence on the Internet, and how to put an end to the unhealthy behaviors often promoted by thinspiration—which could be a bigger challenge than it seems.
Responses have been edited for clarity and length.
How did you first get involved with thinspiration?
I really wanted to be able to row in college. But I'm short. And if you're short, it's really hard to row in college at a Division I level unless you're a lightweight. So I really, really wanted to lose weight, and that was my motivating factor. But then I got more into, like, wondering what other people's reasons to lose weight were. I wanted to be a good rower; other people wanted to look good in a bikini. So I made this blog called "Reasons to Lose," and people just started submitting everything. I started that blog in February of 2012, and I got 17,000, maybe 18,000 followers very rapidly.
I was getting overwhelmed by the submissions, and later on I realized the majority of them were really very—well, some of them weren't healthy reasons. So I've tried to screen them as best I could. But if I've had overwhelming requests for "So he can pick me up and spin me in a circle," then I'll do that, even though I don't personally think that's a great reason.
It was easier to reach people on Tumblr, but I know people often put my photos on [social photo-sharing site] WeHeartIt and Pinterest now, too. That's how it spreads.
So "thinspiration" is basically an online phenomenon that uses words and pictures to inspire people to be thin. Right?
Well, there are also terms called "pro-ana" and "pro-mia," and those are pro-anorexia and pro-bulimia. Those are people who, like, advocate having an eating disorder to lose weight. That's the really negative side of thinspiration; these girls post pictures of, like, very ill, thin-looking people with the thinspiration tag.
For people like me, and—I hope—the majority of my followers, thinspiration can also mean [finding] people you look up to who lost weight a healthy way. ... That [idea] has kind of evolved into something called "fitspiration." So there's thinspiration, which is now kind of an unhealthy, sickly fascination with someone with an eating disorder. And then there's fitspiration, which concentrates on the health aspect. My website—I've tagged it as thinspiration, but personally I'm a fitspo blogger rather than a thinspo blogger. I would much rather people lost weight the healthy way.

Everton boss Roberto Martinez has insisted his players will not be sold even if the Toffees miss out on European qualification.
After a promising start to the season which saw Martinez's men lose just one of their opening 17 league games, the Toffees have lost their way somewhat, having picked up just 11 points from the last 24 available.
And with hopes of a top-four finish looking more and more unlikely, Martinez is bracing himself for interest in the likes of Ross Barkley and Leighton Baines once again, but is adamant his players are not for sale.
"We want to keep every player who is part of our future and has performed well," Martinez said in The Sun.
"Financially we are in the strongest moment we have been for a long time.
"I would be worried if we had four or five players performing really well who were out of contract, but most are on long-term deals."
Fans have really taken to loan signing Romelu Lukaku since his arrival from Chelsea, with the imposing Belgian hitman linked with a permanent move to Goodison Park at the end of the season.
However, despite netting ten league goals already this campaign, Martinez insists that his loan acquisitions are temporary and is willing to let the likes of Lukaku leave if replacements can be found.
"When you are signing a loan player you know what you are bringing - a short-term relationship. That's it," Martinez added.
"There will always be good ones available, so I'm not worried."

Costume Information
|Cost :
|Time Taken :
|2 Hours (approximately)
|Okay so, just for funsies, my friends and I wanted to do a big Super Mario group. We already had people shotgunning characters such as Peach, Daisy, Mario etc. but I didn't really want to cosplay any of those characters. But one character I've ALWAYS loved in the games was...Boo. Or Buu Huu, which I've recently learned is the Japanese for Boo. So yus.
Thanks to the magic of Gijinka and the fact that Boo is an extremely simple character, I got on board with this very easily. I could recycle other parts of previous cosplays (boots from Tsubaki, arm warmers from Kallen) and I could borrow say...the hat and wig from a couple of amazing friends (Thanks to KP and Orange). Get me a dress and black my eyes up and I'm done! In fact it was so simple it probably worked to my advantage because that's what made it cute ^^.
The tongue was actually a last minute thing. I bought some red foam (like the crafting foam, you know you buy it for your kids?) and thought, why not? So I cut out a tongue, drew the detail on with a sharpie and it worked wonderfully. I actually had everyone yelling "Put yer tongue in!" So it was definitely a success.
That and the fangs which added to the cute/deadly aspect. And my amazing friends because I wouldn't have been nearly as recognised without everyone else. And we even got to race in invisible Go-Karts!
Saw photos of this on my facebook feed and I LOVED IT!
Such a cute gijinka design. You look amazing! :D
I love seeing cosplays like this, specially as I'm a big Mario fan-girl! <3
Thank you! I'm super pleased with how this turned out and glad that you like it ^^.
To-Do List
|Borrow white wig and hat from KP and Orange
|Get White Dress
|Cut out and make foam tongue.
|Practise Eye make-up
Shopping List
|White dress
|Foam Tongue
Eye Pain (Posted 15th August 2012)
We are now Post Amecon and although the wig and the hat suited fantastically, we had a few teething problems with the make-up.
For some reason my eyes seemed to be sore from the day before, and quite watery. so the eyeliner wouldn't stay on, which was annoying to say the least. However after some time and way too many tissues I finally managed to get it to stay.
Thank you to everyone who complemented me on the day as it made the costume worth the eye pain!
Frankenstein Cosplay! (Posted 25th July 2012)
So I've tried out the white dress with my Tsubaki boots and my Kallen arm covers, with added fangs. Still need to borrow the hat and the white wig but from what it looks like at the moment this should work well.
I drew out a simple tongue on a bit of red foam and cut that out. It actually looks quite good XD.
I've also tested out some 'ghostly' make-up. Just basically blacked up my eyes i.e liner and eye-shadow. We shall see how it all works on the day =s

The following several graphics are pretty self-explanatory. First… it's been so long since we talked about normal temperatures, the first image shows you what those are. But remember that they are climbing about every other day so they will climb very quickly through April. The next images are high temperatures over the last week compared to where we should be.
So what's with the cold start to spring?? Well a lot of it has to do with this very image below.
This is a graphic representation of the Arctic Oscillation (AO). Simply put, if that squiggly black line rises above the straight line-representing zero (becomes positive), then there is a higher likelihood of warmer weather in the United States. If it drops below the straight line-representing zero (becomes negative), then there is a higher likelihood of colder weather in the United States. The black part of that squiggly line is what's already happened… and notice that it has been below that zero mark for the last several weeks and significantly below that line for the last 10 days or so. This gives us a good reason of why it has been so cold. But also notice the red line; which shows the forecast of this Oscillation. It shows that the AO will stay negative through at least the next 10 days. This gives the U.S. better than average chances of experiencing below normal temperatures.

MONROE Police in Monroe are working to solve an apparent home invasion late Sunday night.
Police said they were called about 11:45 p.m. by residents of an apartment in the 200 block of Venus Street. Officers said the apartment's occupants said three men with handguns and T-shirts over their faces forced their way into the residence.
One of the victims was taken into the kitchen and tied up. Meanwhile, investigators said, the suspects ransacked the apartment before leaving. The victims were not injured, authorities said.
Police did not get a full description of the suspects. Anyone with information in the case is asked to contact Crime Stoppers, 704-283-5600.

Memphis Branch
About the Memphis Branch
The Memphis Branch building in downtown Memphis
The Memphis Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis is responsible for the Bank's operations in western Tennessee, eastern Arkansas and northern Mississippi. One of three Eighth District branches, the Memphis Branch is located at 200 N. Main St. in downtown Memphis.
Established in 1918, the Branch has three primary functions:
- maintain an effective advisory board of directors whose members provide input on economic conditions in areas served by the Branch;
- coordinate the cash needs for financial institutions; and
- coordinate outreach activities in the areas of community development, economic education, research and monetary policy.
Senior Branch Executive Martha Perine Beard, who has served at the Branch since 1997, leads the Branch's community outreach efforts as the Fed seeks to expand its intellectual presence throughout the Eighth District.

Pirated Software May Contain Malware
The author of this entry is responsible for this content, which is not edited by the Wilson County News or wilsoncountynews.com.

You decide to order some software from an unknown online seller. The price is so low you just can't pass it up. What could go wrong?
Plenty. Whether you're downloading it or buying a physical disc, the odds are good that the product is pirated and laced with malicious software, or malware.
Is Your Software Pirated?
Possible signs of what to look for:
- No packaging, invoice, or other documentation...just a disc in an envelope
- Poor quality labeling on the disc, which looks noticeably different than the labeling on legitimate software
- Software is labeled as the full retail version but only contains a limited version
- Visible variations (like lines or differently shaded regions) on the underside of a disc
- Product is not wrapped correctly and is missing features like security tape around the edges of the plastic case
- Typos in software manuals or pages printed upside down
- User is required to go a website for a software activation key (often a ploy to disseminate additional malware)
Today, the National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination (IPR) Center--of which the FBI is a key partner--is warning the American people about the real possibility that illegally copied software, including counterfeit products made to look authentic, could contain malware.
Our collective experience has shown this to be true, both through the complaints we've received and through our investigations. It's also been validated by industry studies, which show that an increasing amount of software installed on computers around the world--including in the U.S.--is pirated and that this software often contains malware.
As in our above scenario, pirated software can be obtained from unknown sellers and even from peer-to-peer networks. The physical discs can be purchased from online auction sites, less-than-reputable websites, and sometimes from street vendors and kiosks. Pirated software can also be found pre-installed on computers overseas, which are ordered by consumers online and then shipped into the United States.
Who's behind this crime? Criminals, hackers and hacker groups, and even organized crime rings.
And the risks to unsuspecting consumers? For starters, the inferior and infected software may not work properly. Your operating system may slow down and fail to receive critical security updates.
But the greater danger comes from potential exposure to criminal activity--like identity theft and financial fraud--after malware takes hold of your system.
Software Buying Tips for Consumers
- When buying a computer, always ask for a genuine, pre-installed operating system, and then check out the software package to make sure it looks authentic.
- Purchase all software from an authorized retailer. If you're not sure which retailers are authorized, visit the company website of the product you're interested in.
- Check out the company's website to become familiar with the packaging of the software you want to buy.
- Be especially careful when downloading software from the Internet, an increasingly popular source of pirated software. Purchase from reputable websites.
- Before buying software off the beaten path, do your homework and research the average price of the product. If a price seems too good to be true, it's probably pirated.
Some very real dangers:
Once installed on a computer, malware can record your keystrokes (capturing sensitive usernames and passwords) and steal your personally identifiable information (including Social Security numbers and birthdates), sending it straight back to criminals and hackers. It can also corrupt the data on your computer and even turn on your webcam and/or microphone.
Malware can spread to other computers through removable media like thumb drives and through e-mails you send to your family, friends, and professional contacts. It can be spread through shared connections to a home, business, or even government network. Criminals can also use infected computers to launch attacks against other computers or against websites via denial of service attacks.
To guard against malware and other threats, read our tips on how to protect your computer. If you think you may have purchased pirated software (see sidebar on how to spot it), or if you have information about sellers of pirated software, submit a tip to the IPR Center or the Internet Crime Complaint Center.
And know this: Pirated software is just one of the many threats that the IPR Center and the FBI are combating every year. The theft of U.S. intellectual property--the creative genius of the American people as expressed through everything from proprietary products and trade secrets to movies and music--takes a terrible toll on the nation. It poses significant (and sometimes life-threatening) risks to ordinary consumers, robs businesses of billions of dollars, and takes away jobs and tax revenue.

Moving Averages: Factors To Consider
By Casey Murphy, Senior Analyst ChartAdvisor.com
Data Used in Calculation
Most moving averages take the closing prices of a given asset and factor them into the calculation. We thought it would be important to note that this does not always need to be the case. It is possible to calculate a moving average by using the open, close, high, low or even the median. Even though there is little difference between these calculations when plotted on a chart, the slight difference could still impact your analysis.
Finding an Appropriate Time Periods
Because most MAs represent the average of all the applicable daily prices, it should be noted that the time frame does not always need to be in days. Moving averages can also be calculated using minutes, hours, weeks, months, quarters, years etc. Why would a day trader care about how a 50-day moving average will affect the price over the upcoming weeks? On the other hand, a day trader would want to pay attention to a 50-minute average to get an idea of the relative cost of the security compared to the past hour. Some traders may even use the average price over the past three minutes to gauge an uptake in short-term momentum.
No Average is Foolproof
As you know, nothing in the financial markets is for certain - certainly not when it comes to using technical indicators. If a stock bounced off the support of a major average every time it came close, we would all be rich. One of the major disadvantages of using moving averages is that they are relatively useless when an asset is trending sideways, compared to the times when a strong trend is present. As you can see in Figure 1, the price of an asset can pass through a moving average many times when the trend is moving sideways, making it difficult to decide how to trade. This chart is a good example of how the support and resistance characteristics of moving averages are not always present.
|Figure 1
Responsiveness to Price Action
Traders who use moving averages in their trading will quickly admit that there is a battle between trying to make a moving average responsive to changes in trend while not allowing it to be so sensitive that it causes a trader to prematurely enter or exit a position. Short-term moving averages can be useful in identifying changing trends before a large move occurs, but the downside is that this technique can also lead to being whipsawed in and out of a position because these averages respond very quickly to changing prices. Because the quality of the transaction signals can vary drastically depending on the time periods used in the calculation, it is highly recommended to look at other technical indicators for confirmation of any move predicted by a moving average. (For more on various indicators, see Introduction To Technical Analysis.)
Beware of the Lag
Because moving averages are a lagging indicator, transaction signals will always occur after the price has moved enough in one direction to cause the moving average to respond. This lagging characteristic can often work against a trader and cause him or her to enter into a position at the least opportune time. For example, the only way for a short-term moving average to cross above a long-term moving average is for the price to have recently moved higher - many traders will use this bullish crossover as a buy signal. One major problem that often arises is that the price may have already experienced a large increase before the transaction signal is presented.As you can see in Figure 2, the large price gap creates a buy signal in late August, but this signal is too late because the price has already moved up by more than 25% over the past 12 days and is becoming exhausted. In this case, the lagging aspect of a moving average would work against the trader and likely result in a losing trade. Check out the next section of this tutorial to learn about trading strategies involving moving averages.

Another pillowcase burglary reported in Martin County
The Martin County Sheriff's Office is investigating another pillowcase burglary.
The most recent one took place Monday on Southwest Salerno Road in Stuart.
The sheriff said a homeowner walked in on two people who smashed the sliding glass doors and started stealing anything they could find.
The pair got away in a white SUV with dark-tinted windows.
Several arrests have been made this year as investigators have reported a slew of such burglaries on the Treasure Coast.
Anyone with information is urged to call the Martin County Sheriff's Office.

A desire to improve the survival of people with blood cancers and reduce the side-effects of their anti-cancer treatments has seen Walter and Eliza Hall Institute researcher Dr Kylie Mason today win one of three 2012 L'Oral Australia For Women in Science Fellowships.
The work of Dr Mason, a senior postdoctoral fellow in the institute's Cancer and Haematology division and a clinical haematologist at The Royal Melbourne Hospital, has set the benchmark for evaluating a new class of anti-cancer agents called BH3-mimetics.
In 2006 Dr Mason was part of the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute team which found that the BH3-mimetic ABT-737 ceased being effective in the presence of a protein called Mcl-1. "Mcl-1 is switched on in many tumours so this finding had significant repercussions for the development of BH3-mimetics, which hold promise for treating chemotherapy-resistant tumours," Dr Mason said.
Her subsequent studies showed that ABT-737 remained effective in killing chemotherapy-resistant tumours when combined with standard chemotherapy. They also revealed the first chapters of a much bigger story: that of platelets and their lifespan.
One of the side-effects of treatment with ABT-737 is acute thrombocytopenia (low platelet count). Dr Mason's studies have shown that while ABT-737 is directly toxic to circulating platelets, it does not affect their production in the bone marrow. "This finding provided the first indication that platelets could undergo programmed cell death," Dr Mason said.
In collaboration with Dr Ben Kile and others at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, Dr Mason showed that platelets the blood cells responsible for clotting are programmed to die, containing a molecular 'clock' that dictates their lifespan.
"This work has profound implications for the diagnosis and treatment of disorders that affect platelets," she said. "It also has critical implications for improved blood bank storage of plate

Ah, Julian Assange. Aside from the interminable line-up of Snow White projects threatening to engulf the entire Western seaboard, he's become the most in-demand bleached blond belle of the ball. With so many competing film projects about the prurient leaker of state secrets clamoring for our attention, it's hard to keep track of them all. One project in particular, though, just got a healthy kick up the posterior. Deadline reports that the HBO-BBC co-production adaptation of last year's New Yorker article, 'No Secrets: Julian Assange's Mission for Total Transparency', has recruited producers Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall to its cause an...Read More »
Alex Gibney Already Four Months In On His Assange Project For UniversalWhile he may have fallen off the front page of newspapers around the world -- at least for now -- there hasn't been a character as fascinating as Julian Assange in quite a while. The man behind Wikileaks has singlehandedly caused government leaders to sweat by leaking classified cables and documents that in many cases have shown politicians bending the truth, lying or covering up facts about a number of diplomatic issues. Hardly surprising. But in an era when fewer journalists seem willing to kick down doors and more complacent to simply report what's handed to them by Was...Read More »

Today my manager pitched a solution to my scheduling problem. He said we could add the new task after my current task is complete. There were a few loose ends that I needed clarified.
My team lead wanted me to work on a different task after my current task ends. We negotiated that I could get help on this second task, so that I could still work the new task.
Things will still be tight. But I think I can manage. I asked my team lead for a little more leniency. However he said we all need to pitch in more time. The downer is that this needs to continue for a few more months.
I am a salaried guy. There is no extra pay when I work extra hours. Occasional overtime is acceptable. But it is not right if this extends forever. There must be other opportunities where you don't have to kill yourself at work. I won this one battle, at a high cost. The war on work is far from over though.

10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

I'm currently at the indoor rock climbing level and it's pretty intense. There is so much to learn about climbing. So far tying the ropes is pretty tricky. I climbed pretty high and realized I've got a slight fear of heights. Hopefully the more I do this, the easier it will become.
I've been wanting to go to the Romance Times Convention for 5 years and I finally just did it. I got my plan ticket, a hotel and showed up. That was a fun party! There was so much to do.

The church I attend has no stance on concealed permit holders bringing their firearms inside, and Ohio law dictates that places of worship are off limits unless they give permission. I called up one of our pastors a couple months ago and asked that he look into things. He talked about it a bit, and has informed me that there will be an elder's meeting eventually and the subject will be placed on the agenda, and he'd like me to come present the subject to them.
I really didn't expect them to ask me to do this, but I intend to write up a nice presentation of reasons for cc, as well as presenting copies of the relevant laws. I may ask an attorney friend come along for the ride, to assist with questions they might have about liability and whatnot. At least one of the elder board is an attorney as well, and we have at least one active LEO, a few military guys, and all around reasonable bunch. I know they aren't anti 2a in general, as many of them have shot skeet with me at our retreats, but that doesn't mean they are pro cc.
I'm unsure exactly where to start with the presentation, but I'll be putting together my thoughts over the next few weeks here (I do have some time to prepare, fortunately). Have any of you had to present to a a board of trustees, elders etc? I'm curious if you have some source materials or short books/literature I could purchase ahead of time to hand out as follow-up reading for the group.

Ann Romney on Jay Leno: How did she do?(Read article summary)
Ann Romney appeared on 'The Tonight Show,' and while she wasn't polished, she humanized Mitt quite well. The question is: Why wasn't she doing this in July? Now, it might be too late.
Paul Drinkwater/NBC/REUTERS
Ann Romney was on Jay Leno's "Tonight Show" Tuesday for what NBC billed as her first late-night talk show appearance. So how'd the wife of the GOP presidential nominee do, keeping in mind that she's a much less experienced television campaigner than first lady Michelle Obama?
We'll agree with Bloomberg News columnist Margaret Carlson here – we think she did fine.
"Ann Romney had a smooth go of it on Tuesday night, contrary to some recent appearances when her beautiful façade showed some cracks," writes Carlson Wednesday.
Cracks? Carlson's perhaps referring to an incident when Mrs. Romney snapped back at GOP critics, telling them to "stop it," during a Radio Iowa interview last week.


text: The Scarab wiki last edited by That60sGuy on 08/24/13 04:18AM View full history OriginIn the beginning Amon Khadul found a priceless stone shaped like a scarab, he sold it for a fortune and created afinancial empire with it. Wanting to make a difference in the world, he built the silver-painted humanoid exoskeleton armored scarab suit with electronic jammers built in the suit. The electronic jammers prevented people from recording his existence in any way weather it was sonic listeners or cameras. At first he used the suit to fight against the F-Troops who were invading the Middle East.While he was doing that he ended up meeting Samson, who convinced him into fighting his enemies out in the open. That disgustion led him into being a member of the SMASH team. Now you can see Scarab in the Dynamite Entertainment comic "Project Superpowers" along side many other superheroes. The superheroes names' are Black Terror, Miss Masque, Death-Defying Devil, Green Lama, Flame, Pyroman, Samson, Hydro, The Arrow, The Target and American Spirit. In the beginning of "Project Superpowers" it explained how the very mislead Fighting Yank trapped all the members of SMASH into the Urn of Pandora. The urn finally broke and released the heroes changing some of their costume and even some of their powers into more powerful ones. Now released into a changed world they must adapt and become the most powerful team once again. PowersAll the most powerful superheroes from "Project Superpowers"His powers only come from his scarab suit which allows him to have the abilities to fly, have super strength, super speed, invulnerability, claws and electronic disruption. Besides that he has a lot of intellect and his is insanely rich, which without that money the scarab suit would have never been built. He does have magic resistance which means any magical attacks are useless, it is unknown how he got the magical resistance power but it does come in handy.

It says "Removed by the user" hmmmph.
The thing about this is, if y'all would laugh WITH the person instead of laughing AT them, perhaps this video would still be up. Â The video was genuinely funny, most people would feel some sympathy for the driver, or remember times that they got in a parking pickle. Â Guess everyone that posted are perfect at parking, every single time. Â Bless her heart.
Laughter is very refreshing, more so when there is no double-meaning involved, that was purely, simply, and cleanly funny.  I made a shortcut to the video on my desktop, because next year I am going to have to take the driving test again, and am not looking forward to the parking part of it... Maybe I should  make a video of that.
Shame on you all for cruel remarks.
The steering wheel must only turn to the left. REALLY? Oh man! Who gave that person a license to drive?
god that was painful to watch. Â Â isnt it illegal to drive when youre braindead stupid? Â should be...i know, i should talk...
That's the whole freaking problem, the person never turns the darn wheel (at least, not the correct way) when they're backing up! Sheeeesh.
Portland cesspool. Not even the turds can escape safely.
Figures, a woman driver.
The lady in the dark station wagon deserves a medal for being so patient. Â Wow.
I saw about 20+ different ways to have gotten out of there faster...
I am praying that maybe this was a joke. Â
With a parking lot that size, and a car that small, this should have been effortless. Â I can only imagine what it would be like if they were driving a larger vehicle!
The amazing part: they didn't hit anything!
*facepalm* Â There are no words.
Jeez...and to think they let nitwits like this out on the roads.
OMG, not only did they manage to get a drivers license, but they vote as well.
That is just too painful to watch. Must be a new driver or......drunk.....stoned.....head injury......brain tumor.....
Mr. Bean
@starshadow This isn't in Portland, moran.
@gofigure That's what I was thinking too. I hope there is no one driving that is this incompetent....oh, wait.....there already are.
I'm voting for the tumor, Ralph.
It's probably a lot smarter than the person's brain, too.
@Angry&Confused;! @starshadow I'd have to say the morON is the one who can't spell moron, on a public comment board, but that might just be me.
If someone said to the driver, make this as hard as possible, I don't think they could have made it any tougher.
I feel bad for the person waiting to get out in the upper left hand corner with their car in reverse (backup lights on).
