%% ZeroContextExample entries are not allowed on wiki pages. All such entries have been commented out. Add context to the entries before uncommenting them.
%%* BadassDecay: Riku in Reverse/Rebirth until the last two stages.
* BreatherLevel: Like in ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts'', the 100 Acre Wood fills this role, with no enemies and a trove of new, free cards and sleight combinations.
* DemonicSpider: Neoshadows in ''Re: CoM''. Every battle with one usually involves [[ThatOneAttack their stupid spinning attack that hits you 95% of the time and does a buttload of damage]], and they usually spam 7s and 8s everywhere. [[PurposefullyOverpowered Riku gets the Lexaeus Card in the final level for a reason.]]
%%* DisappointingLastLevel: Reverse/Rebirth mode.
* EarWorm: The new version of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoLD5Z--WvY Traverse Town]].
* FranchiseOriginalSin: For two factors. One for creating the decision to release the series over multiple consoles, creating ContinuityLockOut (an act somewhat rectified by the HD compliations). Two for introducing a lot of new characters for the bad guys, taking away focus on the Disney and Final Fantasy elements that brought people in.
* GameBreaker:
** The Duel system in ''Re:Chain of Memories'', especially Barrage. This attack will always hit and always do 1 bar damage. It's possible to beat [[spoiler:Ansem]] easily without Dark Mode because of this.
** Certain sleights can make the game very easy, if you build your deck right. With enough 0s, you can't be cancelled, and a ton of Sonic Blade + Elixir = Win. Once you have the Jafar card this makes using sleights like Sonic Blade even more deadly. A deadly pair to use would be Jafar with Ars Arcanum. Normally this sleight would require 3 cards from 1-6 in value, very breakable. If Jafar is used before, the sleight becomes unbreakable. This makes [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qk9O4GjWeqw most bosses become a breeze]].
** The Tornado Sleight (Aero + Gravity + Summon card) is absolutely unfair in both versions of the game: it creates a large funnel cloud that the player can control, which sucks up and immobilizes all Heartless it touches while dealing massive damage.
** The Oogie Boogie card (Regen) ''quickly'' becomes one of the ''best'' buff cards, especially against tough bosses.
** The Lethal Frame ([[SpellMyNameWithAnS mistranslated as "Lethal Flame"]]) sleight (Stop + Attack + Attack) stops time and allows Sora to quickly deliver a bunch of hits. When time starts again, the enemy starts taking damage and can't act for a few moments, allowing you to set up another one. Long strings of these can deal massive damage in boss fights.
** Simply using 0's to Card Break your opponent's deck. Every card you break with 0 can't be reshuffled by the boss, while you can recharge your deck indefinitely. After awhile, the boss will simply begin to run out of cards to make combos with, making him easy prey.
** The Jafar Card in the GBA version. As mentioned on the main page under BoringButPractical, it makes your attacks immune to breaking so long as you attack first. The thing about the GBA version, however, is that the effect was limited was 20 ''attacks'', not cards like the later versions. That means [[LoopholeAbuse sleights don't count]], so you can use risky low-value sleights like Ars Arcanum without being broken, and ''keep'' using them throughout the whole battle.
** The remake introduces enemy cards based off the Organization. Xemnas in particular stands out with Quick Barrier, which lasts throughout most if not all of your typical battle and cuts most damage received in half as its ''secondary'' effect. Its primary effect is to prevent Sora from taking damage more than once from a given card, and since most bosses use attacks that hit multiple times, this effectively neuters their offense. Like Sonic Blade, it can be gotten about halfway through the game.
* GeniusBonus: In the manga adaptation of ''[=CoM=]'', Larxene is seen reading a book about French writer Marquis De Sade. We'll let you do the math.
* GoddamnedBats:
** ''Any'' enemy you have to attack from behind in the Game Boy Advance game. This is remedied a bit in ''Re:[=CoM=]'' because you're able to attack from more angles - in the original, it's roughly 2D so you have to be ''right'' behind them. Defenders are easily the most annoying mooks in the game.
** The Creeper Plants have a terrible tendency to break your cards.
** Neoshadows. They also have a tendency to turn two-dimensional and avoid everything you throw at them. This is especially annoying because they seem to wait ''right'' until you use a sleight.
* GoodBadBugs: The "Double jump glitch" in the Game Boy Advance version. When you double-jump (B twice) and perform an attack, Riku will jump down at his enemy and hit them numerous times... but if you have an attack modifier like Overdrive, Berserk, or Attack Bracer on, it doesn't take down the charges and this attack ''still has the effects of the modifier''.
* HarsherInHindsight: After Sora's battle with Marluxia, Riku [[spoiler: Replica]] leaves. Try rewatching the scene after playing Reverse/Rebirth mode, where you see what happens to him. [[spoiler: Remember what happens to him by the end of Reverse/Rebirth? Guess what, [[SuicideByCop meeting the real Riku was what he wanted to do all along.]]]] [[PlayerPunch Yeah...]]
** Vexen's shockingly brutal death was mitigated somewhat by the "Can't feel real emotions" tidbit from ''Kingdom Hearts II'', but [[spoiler: then ''3D: Dream Drop Distance'' reveals nobodies regrow hearts and can experience emotions, it becomes just as bad if not worse than it first was, because Vexen was legitimately terrified at the thought of dying.]]
* HilariousInHindsight: Larxene's voice actor, Shanelle Gray, also narrates some of the Wendy's commercials. Then, during the cutscene just before fighting her a second time,
-->'''Larxene:''' Okay... '''Have it your way'''. More pain for you means more fun for me!
* JerkassWoobie:
** When one considers Zexion's life, from his childhood in ''Birth by Sleep'' to when he meets his end in ''Chain of Memories'', he sorta becomes this.
** Vexen and Larxene also count, mainly due to their deaths, which are [[AlasPoorVillain played tragically]]. Larxene gets bonus points in the Japanese version due to being voiced by Creator/YukoMiyamura.
* LoveToHate: Marluxia, Larxene, and Axel are so ''deliciously'' evil.
* MagnificentBastard: Both Axel and Marluxia vie for this position with their treacherous schemes.
* MemeticMolester:
** Xehanort's Heartless. Taken to truly unnecessary levels in Reverse/Rebirth.
** Larxene is this for some. She apparently has no concept of personal space for both sexes, and is shown to be a sadist.
** Marluxia. He gets up ''way'' too close to Namine, and how she flinches when he touches her shoulder and how she's generally pretty scared of him does not help at all.
* MemeticMutation: Xehanort's Heartless, again. "'''DARKNESS'''!"
* ParanoiaFuel: You know that big crystal ball in the room where Marluxia, Larxene, and Axel talk about their plans? They use it to see everything going on in Castle Oblivion. So the three of them are watching ''everything you do'' throughout the whole game.
* {{Narm}}: While Marluxia dies, he has this extremely obnoxious yell that makes it sound like he's taking the biggest crap of his life, which tends to make people laugh while he dies.
* ReplacementScrappy: Naminé was this to some, although it got better as more people played the game. And even more when it was discovered in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' that [[spoiler:she's Kairi's Nobody]].
* SurpriseDifficulty: The Bumble-Rumble fight in the ''[[MinigameZone 100-Acre Wood]]''. The goal is to fight off 50 swarms of bees without letting Pooh's HP run out. This is, unfortunately, obnoxiously difficult due to being stuck with a fixed Deck mostly comprised of middle to low numbers and the bees coming in packs and carrying cards as high as '''''8'''''. Your only reprieve is that you can use any Sleight you've already learned, plus two special Sleights that involve the exclusive Hunny card.
* TearJerker:
** Closing scene, after defeating [[spoiler:Marluxia]].
** Also, Riku [[spoiler: Replica's death]]. It's a PlayerPunch in both versions of the game, but the GBA version's script takes the cake for [[spoiler: his last words: "[[ShootTheShaggyDog Oh, well]]".]]
* ThatOneBoss:
** The final battle against the [[spoiler:Riku Replica]] (in both Sora AND Riku's modes), so freaking much.
** Trickmaster in Reverse/Rebirth. Riku's deck in Wonderland is not good, having nothing higher than 5. This also makes it very difficult to break anything Trickmaster throws at you without stocking cards.
** ''Any'' time you fight Vexen in the original ''Chain of Memories''. You have to attack him from behind - this is harder in the original than it is in the remake. He also has a tendency to turn ''right'' around and attack you when you try to hit him.
*** Vexen also has a one-time use Enemy-type card that, when HP goes to 0, revives him with a quarter of his HP restored. Yeah, you thought you were finally finished with him, didn't you? Thankfully, it's also his drop loot, so you can acquire and use it afterward.
** That isn't to say that ''Re:[=CoM=]'' Vexen is easy. His attacks are pretty hard to dodge and can stunlock, he still can't be attacked from the front and his deck is stacked with high-numbered attack-cards. He also has Elixirs and Hi-Ethers with him, making the strategy of breaking all his good cards hard to execute - especially in the rematch, in which he also owns a card that prevents breaking items.
** Captain Hook. His GeoEffects screw up your summon cards, his dodge rate is insane, he can throw bombs seemingly without end, and his sword attack is extremely difficult to dodge. Better bring your zeroes and your cures - you're gonna NEED it all. This review says it all:
--->You may think that all the bosses before Captain Hook might have been annoying but otherwise easy. You might have thought that the rest of the game would go along like this. Even if that wasn't the case, even if you thought that there would be at least one tough boss along the way, ''nothing'' could prepare you for the brokenness that is Captain Hook.
** Hades is a good example of this trope as well. He is one of the only Disney bosses (Hook above being the other one) that uses sleights, and loves making your life a living hell with them, which hit like a truck.
* ViewerGenderConfusion: Some thought Marluxia was a woman in the advance game.
* WhatAnIdiot: All Jiminy writes in his Journal at the end of ''Chain of Memories'' is [[spoiler:"Thank Naminé"]] with no explanation whatsoever. Cue the mass confusion for Sora & co. at the beginning of ''KHII''. Considering that this was fairly important to them, you'd think the note would be a bit more thorough.
* TheWoobie: Naminé, [[spoiler:Kairi's Nobody, who is confined by the Organization to the top of Castle Oblivion for the most part, is forced to do their bidding, and is perfectly aware of her status as a temporary being.]]

Minimal by Tamizo Architects
I'll keep my prose at a minimum to match this house by Polish Tamizo Architects. Couldn't live it but oh how I love it.
I'll keep my prose at a minimum to match this house by Polish Tamizo Architects. Couldn't live it but oh how I love it.
Clean lined and minimal. Modern and sleek. A limited colour palette warmed by washed out rugs and vivid art work. Sophisticated and restrained design by Sydney based Melinda Clarke.
It has been a little while since Jo featured Melbourne architects Nixon Tulloch Fortey so I thought I would do a little update on their stellar designs. They are all about minimal architecture on the inside and maximum impact on the outside. This first kitchen, despite me not usually liking all white kitchens, has me totally drooling. It is just so clean and sleek! I love this firm.
TomMarkHenry are Sydney based design trio Jade Nottage, Cushla McFadden and Chloe Matters. Fresh and young with an edge, their work places emphasis on texture and fabrics but still with a minimalist aesthetic. No frou frou here just fab, stylish interiors.
Check out this Toronto home that Lorena sent us the link to. It is a bit minimalist-harsh on the outside (someone called it an iPhone house...and check out the decrepit tiny bungalow next door) but I really like the interior layout. The decor could use a little personality and maybe a tiny bit of colour but these are real estate photos, and this home was listed for about $3.2 million. Yep, Toronto real estate is pretty outrageous. And this apparently sold pretty quickly. (Thanks Lorena!)

This was very good and will make it again. I took the suggestion from others and added red pepper flakes (I like some zip), plus a little lime juice. Brined the chicken, rinse/dry & spooned oil mix over (recipe makes only a small quantity of oil), then let it sit for 5 minutes and grilled. Drizzled remaining oil mix over before serving. Salt was just right for me. Great flavor. Next time maybe add 1/4 tsp nam pla. Served with coconut rice and stir-fried broccoli. Yum!
I took great liberties with this recipe so maybe it's not fair to rate it 4 forks but it was great. I did not have tumeric but added chili flakes. I also added a generous amount of honey. After grilling we shredded the chicken up to use on a "Thai pizza" (with peanut sauce) but the chicken was so delicious on its own I will make it again to serve solo.
This dish is very tasty, albeit a bit oily. I followed through completely on the recipe one time and served it with noodles in peanut sauce and I thought it was too sweet for my taste. I would probably serve with rice or something less sweet next time.
I added brown sugar to the spiced oil mixture and marinated it for a couple hours. It turned out so amazing, it was juicy and had fabulous flavor!
This is a delicious dish. I just remove the chicken from marinade, pan-sear it and then add the left over suce to pan and cook it to make it safe to eat with the chicken, pour it over jasmine rice with sugar snap peas....soooo good!
My husband is a picky eater and he loved this dish. I did not have any peanut oil available and used olive oil. It was still great. Next time I make it I will be sure to try it with peanut oil.

Burger King Corp. has announced the refranchising of 96 company-owned restaurants in the Orlando/Daytona, Fla., market to Magic Burgers LLC, a subsidiary of Sun Holdings LLC and wholly-owned and operated by long-time franchisee Guillermo Perales.
This acquisition makes Perales the fourth largest franchise operator in the U.S. and the largest minority franchisee with 167 restaurants throughout Florida and Texas.
"Guillermo Perales is an experienced restaurateur and has been an instrumental franchisee within the Burger King system for more than 10 years," said Steve Wiborg, president of North America, BKC. "He is an exemplary franchisee with a passion for the Burger King brand and a drive for success. His keen business sense and operational know-how have been key elements in the successful turn-around for us in the Dallas market and he continues to invest in the brand with his acquisition and remodeling efforts."
Born in Saltillo, Mexico, Perales founded Sun Holdings LLC in 1997 and joined the Burger King system in 1999. He is president of the International Hispanic Franchisee Association and represents this association on Burger King Corp.'s Inclusion Advisory Council, a group of franchisees and community leaders that helps integrate diversity and inclusion into all aspects of the Burger King business strategy.
In 2008, Perales was given the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award and International Business Achievement award by the Dallas Regional Chamber. Last year, he was awarded the Developer of the Year award from Burger King Corp. along with the Hispanic Business Man of the Year award by the Texas Association of Mexican American Chambers of Commerce. Perales has been featured on four occasions in Latino Leaders Magazine's 101 List as one of the most influential Latinos in the United States.
"My continued investment in the Burger King system demonstrates my confidence in the company's ability to grow this great brand and make owning and operating Burger King restaurants more profitable for franchisees," Perales said.
His company will remodel 69 restaurants with the company's new global 20/20 design within the next three years in the Florida market, and 40 restaurants in the Dallas area.
Perales said he also plans to continue expanding his business by opening seven more Burger King units in Dallas this year, and 10 more within the next five years in Orlando.
Sun Holdings LLC operates 167 Burger King restaurants, 72 Popeye's franchises, 33 Golden Corral restaurants, 46 CiCi's restaurants, four Del Taco restaurants and five Denny's restaurants.

Fate doesn't always offer much downtime, but such a vigorous schedule fits right inside Alise Marshall's comfort zone.
At just 23 years old, Marshall has already worked in three different states in the last five months - Kentucky, Georgia and now Michigan -- as she busily contributed to the Barack Obama campaign as a field organizer.
David Mosqueda of Louisville was indicted for tampering with physical evidence, second-degree possession of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance not in the original container, DUI first offense and reckless driving.
Christopher Rozell of Shelbyville was indicted for first-degree fleeing or evading police, first-degree wanton endangerment, operating on a suspended license, carrying a concealed deadly weapon, reckless driving, DUI first offense, failure to wear a seat belt, failure to stop at a stop sign and improper start of a parked motor vehicle.
A Shelby County jury found Kenneth W. Chandler Jr. of Shelbyville guilty Tuesday of seven counts of robbery and recommended 10 years in prison.
Chandler, dubbed the "Hoodie Bandit," robbed seven area businesses last year that spanned Shelby and Jefferson counties, including the Dollar General Store, a Shell service station, Pizza Hut and Subway.
The jury deliberated only three hours to find Chandler guilty of first-degree robbery in six of the crimes and second-degree robbery in the seventh.
Just as falling leaves sprinkle about Shelbyville to signify the arrival of autumn, political campaign signs are beginning to pepper the city, indicating that Election Day is approaching.
Seven candidates are vying for six spots on the Shelbyville City Council. And with Nov. 4 drawing near, the hopefuls are actively spreading their names and listening to the concerns of the people of Shelbyville.
Council members are elected on a non-partisan basis every two years, and the Mayor is elected to a 4-year term.
One of Shelbyville's biggest car dealerships is driving off the lot and out of business: Auto Pointe of Shelbyville will close its doors Oct. 31.
Owner Matt Fetter said a plummeting economy has made buying and selling automobiles difficult.
"It's the economy," he said. "We are suffering from it just like everyone else."
Auto Pointe, which sells pre-owned vehicles of all makes and models at 200 Boone Station Road, has been in the community since January 2005.
A local agency dedicated to preventing drug abuse has received a grant that will allow it to continue to operate.
Terry Graney, treasurer and board member of the Shelby County Drug/Alcohol Advisory Council, Inc., said the council has received a $125,000 Drug Free Communities federal grant, renewable for five years, bringing the total grant amount to $625,000.
This funding will allow the non-profit organization to hire some staff members, including a director-without which continued operation would be impossible, Graney said.

Virginia and its Proposed Constitutional Amendments on the Nov. 6 ballot.
Submitted by tama on Mon, 11/05/2012 - 17:36Most Virginia voters know about our options for the Presidency, the Senate, and our Representatives. What I think a lot of people in Virginia are unaware of are the two proposed constitutional amendments on the ballot that have to do with 1) Eminent domain 2) Veto Sessions.
I'm posting this thread to ask for everything relevant on these amendments including opinions, information, links, insight, etc. in order to inform others and myself. Thanks guys and gals.

Phoenix Suns
Suns' Babby: No matter how season ends, it has been a wild success
Not long ago, the Phoenix Suns seemed destined for a playoff run.
But times have changed.
The Suns are currently 36-28 and a full two games out of a Western Conference playoff spot.
Given where the team was predicted to be before the season began, this campaign would have to go down as a success. But if the team fails to reach the postseason for the fourth straight season, 2013-14 will be looked at rather differently.
After all, they'd be where they've been many other times: out of the playoffs but not bad enough to get a top draft pick.
Suns president of basketball operations Lon Babby, though, sees no way that this season could go down as a failure.
"I find that to be completely wrong," he told the Dan Bickley Show with Vince Marotta Thursday on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM. "We've built a culture, we've got a tremendous coaching staff, the front office is in great shape, the training staff is the best in the world. We've identified players that are here and are going to be successful and have performed at a higher level than we ever expected.
"Yeah, we'll be disappointed if we don't make the playoffs because we put ourselves in a position to accomplish that and that would be a great feat for us, but I don't know how anybody could look at the season other than as a wild success."
It all depends on one's perspective, of course, but Babby may a point. Whereas past "mediocre" Suns teams would have a similar fate to the one this team may be heading for, they were usually filled with veterans in the twilight of their respective careers or, at the very least, lacking in young players the team could build around.
But this team, no matter how it finishes the season, is not lacking in that area. Add in the bevy of draft picks coming their way, too, and there is plenty of reason to be optimistic, no matter how this season ends.
"Of course we're going to be disappointed if you don't achieve a goal, but the fact that we even have that as a realistic goal is a tremendous accomplishment," Babby said, before turning his attention to the team's future draft picks, salary cap space, coaching staff and front office, including a rising star for a GM in Ryan McDonough. "I don't think you could find, I'm going to say, ten franchises in the NBA that are in a better position than we are going forward, and that's a great spot to be in.
"Now we just have to execute on it, we have to convert all these assets into wins, but I'm confident we can do that."

Latest from The Spokesman-Review
'Sovereigns' gaining attention locally
Deputies were prepared for the worst as they stood by in a Spokane County courtroom earlier this month during routine hearings for mostly low-level felonies.
Their focus was on one of the more benign cases – possession and distribution of marijuana.
But it wasn't the nature of the allegations that got their attention. It was the defendant, a self-proclaimed "sovereign" who doesn't consider himself a citizen of the United States even though he was born and raised here.
Adrian B. Shannon, 30, is among a growing number of people who question the legitimacy of federal, state and local government agencies and employ a series of legal maneuvers they believe exempt them from driver's licenses and birth certificates, paying taxes, or even criminal charges.
"People call it a movement, but it's individuals, literally sovereigns, that are all learning, 'Hey we don't have to put up with these ridiculous laws, because we are the government,' " Shannon said.
MLK bomb suspect not due in court today
UPDATE: Harpham's arraignment was moved to Monday.
Kevin William Harpham is to be arraigned on a hate crime charge in U.S. District Court today at 1:30 p.m.
A grand jury indicted the Martin Luther King, Jr. march bomb suspect Thursday.
Harpham, who has been in the Spokane County Jail since his arrest March 9, already has pleaded not guilty to attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction and unauthorized possession of an unregistered explosive device.
The superseding indictment includes those charges, as well as the hate crime and a charge of use of a firearm (the bomb) in relation to a crime of violence (the hate crime).
The hate crime charge alleges Harpham, who recently turned 37, targeted the march "because of actual or perceived race, color and national origin of any person."
Harpham faces up to life in prison if convicted.
His father, Cecil Harpham, has told The Spokesman-Review that his son was with him Jan. 17, the day the backpack bomb was discovered along the planned march route.
Feds fight release of Harpham records
Federal authorities want to block the unsealing of court records related to the arrest of domestic terrorism suspect Kevin W. Harpham.
In a 13-page response Wednesday to a request by The Spokesman-Review, with support from The Seattle Times and The Associated Press, Assistant U.S. Attorney Joe Harrington argued against unsealing the documents, citing an ongoing investigation and concerns about pre-trial publicity.
"It is well settled that there are qualified common law and Constitutional rights of access to judicial documents," Harrington wrote. "The right, however, is not absolute … and the public can be properly denied access if there are compelling reasons for keeping records sealed."
Photos released of MLK bomb suspect
The Spokane County Sheriff's Office has released booking photos of Martin Luther King, Jr., bomb suspect Kevin William Harpham.
Capt. John McGrath emailed the photos to mediaThursday night in response to public records requests. The photos show Harpham, 36, after he was booked into the Spokane County Jail on March 9. He was arrested that morning near his property north of Addy, Wash. A second set of photos from the U.S. Marshals Service has not been released.
Harpham has pleaded not guilty to a federal indictment charging him with attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction and unauthorized possession of an unregistered explosive device and is being held without bail. He faces up to life in prison if convicted.
Harpham's father, Cecil Harpham, told The Spokesman-Review that his son was with him the day the backpack bomb was discovered along the panned route of the Unity March on Martin Luther King, Jr., Day in downtown Spokane.
Federal investigators say the device was capable of inflicting mass causalities and have called it an act of domestic terrorism.
Kevin Harpham has posted more than 1,000 comments on the racist website Vanguard News Network under the name "Joe Snuffy."
Father: MLK bomb suspect 'pretty worried'
The father of domestic terrorism suspect Kevin W. Harpham said he believes his son was set up by someone wanting to pocket the big reward posted by the FBI.
"They put out a reward for $20,000, and one of his slimy friends turned him in for the money," Cecil Harpham, 68, of Kettle Falls, Wash., said Tuesday. "Now, the government won't admit it to me, but I happen to know it's true."
Harpham, in his first comments to The Spokesman-Review since his son's March 9 arrest, said it appears federal agents quit trying to solve the case and focused in on his son simply because of his racist Internet postings.
"He's sad and he's pretty worried," said Harpham, who visited with his son Monday at the Spokane County Jail, where he's being held while awaiting trial on federal charges.
"To detain him for a year, or as long as the feds drag this thing out, that's got to be … terrible."

March 22: Grand jury indicts Harpham in MLK bomb case
MLK bomb suspect due in court today
A man suspected in the attempted bombing the Unity March on martin Luther King Jr. Day in Spokane is due in court this afternoon.
Kevin W. Harpham, 36, is expected to plead not guilty to charges of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction and unauthorized possession of an unregistered explosive device at his arraignment today before U.S. Magistrate Cynthia Imbrogno.
The hearing is scheduled for 2:30 p.m., but Imbrogno has three hearings scheduled at 1:30 p.m. that may push it back.
Harpham has extensive ties to the white supremacist movement and authored more than 1,000 postings on the racist website Vanguard News Network.
A grand jury indicted him Wednesday.

New details emerge on MLK bomb
A "joint intelligence bulletin" issued on the day federal agents raided the Colville-area home of Kevin W. Harpham suggests that the bomb may have included a rocket motor igniter and was made in such a way to focus shrapnel at a specific target.
The bomb consisted of a steel pipe with a hole drilled at its base.
"The pipe was welded to a roughly cut steel plate," according to the report, which was posted to a research Web site Wednesday.
The explosive charge was described as black powder, which was contained in a plastic bag.
"While not yet confirmed, the initiator appears similar to a rocket motor igniter," the report states. "An RMI was used in a crude IED carried by a lone individual who took hostages and threatened employees in the Discovery Channel Building" in Silver Spring, Ma., on Sept. 1, 2010.

March 13: Postings reveal suspect's views
Who is bomb suspect Kevin Harpham?
He grew up in rural Eastern Washington, played football in high school and worked at a fast-food restaurant as a teen.
Childhood friends remember him as quiet and normal – far from the angry racist that Kevin William Harpham portrayed himself as in more than 1,000 posts on a hate-themed message board for white supremacists.
But acquaintances later in life recall an eerie loner who unabashedly disparaged other ethnicities and seemed to have big plans.
A former neighbor in East Wenatchee said Harpham, now accused of attempting to bomb a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event in Spokane, once laughed at the idea of transporting black people to a desert island and blowing them up.
"I think Kevin was serious," said Jill Truax. "My son just told me flat out, 'I think he's some white supremacist person … think he has an artillery in there.'
"It was like he on a mission or something," Truax said.
Past coverage:
FBI: MLK bomb is 'domestic terrorism'
In what federal authorities are calling an act of "domestic terrorism," a bomb capable of killing multiple people was discovered along the route of Spokane's martin Luther King, Jr., parade on Monday.
The device was found in a Swiss Army-brand backpack by Spokane city employees, who alerted authorities in time to re-route the annual Unity March.
A $20,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.
"It definitely was, by all early analysis, a viable device that was very lethal and had the potential to inflict multiple casualties," said Frank Harrill, the special agent in charge of the Spokane FBI office. "Clearly, the timing and placement of a device – secreted in a backpack – with the Martin Luther King parade is not coincidental. We are doing everything humanly possible to identify the individuals or individual who constructed and placed this device."
The backpack and clothing found inside are pictured above.
Sources say the bomb was equipped to detonate by a remote device, such as a car remote or a garage door opener. The bomb apparently also had its own shrapnel that could have caused significant injuries to anyone near the blast.

OFPP's Joanie Newhart said the new curriculum stresses areas where contracting professionals have asked for more guidance.
The Federal Acquisition Certification in Contracting has not been updated since 2008, but that's about to change -- and the revised FAC-C will include specialized training for IT procurement.
A May 7 memo from the Office of Federal Procurement Policy outlined the new certification, and OFPP Associate Administrator Joanie Newhart and Tony Grayson, acquisition program executive at the Federal Acquisition Institute, detailed the curriculum and the thinking behind it during a May 13 presentation at FOSE.
"Nobody's happier than I am that this certification has been issued," Newhart said. The old FAC-C is general and lacks a specific course on Federal Acquisition Regulation fundamentals -- whereas the Defense Department's Defense Acquisition University has long offered such training, along with a wide range of advanced coursework.
The revised FAC-C, which takes effect Oct. 1, aligns more closely with the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act curriculum. And it includes a four-week class, CON-090, that Grayson described as "deep FAR immersion."

Plus: GCN, FCW's sister publication covering technology, tools and tactics for public sector IT, is covering FOSE in even greater detail. Get all the GCN coverage here.
"We felt like DOD was getting better training than the civilian folks, and we wanted to address that. Contracting is contracting is contracting," Newhart said, adding that "the closer we are together, the more mobile our workforces are.... We want to make sure that everyone has the training and the skills to buy what's best for the government."
In addition to expanding the curriculum, the new FAC-C targets a broader pool of federal workers. All contracting officers and all other contracting professionals in the 1102 categorization must now be certified. Previously, FAC-C was mandatory only for contracting officers whose warrants had been issued after 2006.
That means several thousand civilian agency workers will soon need to enroll in FAC-C courses, but Grayson and Newhart stressed that agencies will be given leeway in crafting their own transition strategies. Contracting personnel will have a full year to get certified, and previous FAC-C certifications will be grandfathered in, though Grayson noted that new prerequisites for going to the next level must be fulfilled.
Officials believe acquisition personnel will want the new and improved courses, which include topic-specific electives and an online component produced by the Harvard Business School that is already used by DAU, Grayson said. It's especially important "to make Level III [certification] more appealing." Once finalized, the full curriculum will be posted at FAI.gov.
Newhart acknowledged that training is not a panacea but said the new curriculum stresses areas where contracting professionals have asked for more guidance. "Cost and price analysis seems to be a little bit of a lost art," she said, "so we're beefing up that part of the training."
The IT specialization -- FAC-C IT -- will be the first to launch, but similar drilldowns on small business and construction are being considered. And at Level III, there will be added emphasis on industry engagement.
"We're hoping people who are already certified at Level III will come back for some of these electives because they're just that good," Newhart said.

I'm looking forward to Thursday's White House "summit" on inner-city kids and faith-based schools, both because it's a really important issue and because a number of panelists (and at least one moderator) are involved with the promising projects and programs recently profiled in Fordham's Who Will Save America's Urban Catholic Schools?
But I've also learned a thing or two about "summits" over the years. When they accomplish anything (rare), it's because tons of groundwork has been done in advance to forge near-agreement among key players on an action plan or program to be announced or inked at the summit itself. Also, they're usually small events where a few really important decision-makers meet with each other "at the summit"--i.e., somewhere above the hillsides inhabited by bureaucrats and staffers and assistant secretaries and such.
What's coming up this week is more like a conference than a summit. There will be a cast of thousands. Problems and ideas will surely be aired, perhaps brilliantly examined, but to the best of my knowledge, no action plan will be announced for none has been agreed to. I worry that the tone will be set by the President's remarks at the prayer breakfast the other day that Catholic schools need to be "saved." That's oversimplified and na??ve, at least for elected officials. (The pope and his bishops are another story.) However, helping more poor kids to attend such schools is a legitimate public policy objective toward which actual programs can be...
Kudos to Bill Nye the Science Guy--perhaps the nation's best-known and most effective science teacher--for putting his green lessons into action. According to yesterday's New York Times Magazine, he lives in a "retrofitted, eco-friendly, 1,300-square-foot, 1939 stucco home in Los Angeles." (And, of course, he drives a Prius and rides his bike a lot.)
This isn't a comment on the politics of environmentalism--though Fordham will be celebrating Earth Day tomorrow--but on teachers being good role models. Because it's great when history teachers love to visit historical sites; when English teachers devour the latest National Book Award winners; when drivers ed teachers don't drink and drive; when civic teachers... vote. You get the idea. Let's face it: there's almost nothing more discouraging than a gym teacher with a beer gut. So to Bill Nye, we say: this Bud's for you.
It's nice of Jesse Jackson to encourage kids to study more. Irony exists, though, when a man who has spent the better part of the last several decades blaming anything and everything for anything and everything, who has generally shirked accepting responsibility for his own foibles, of which there are so many, tells students to "accept responsibility" for their educations.
There is but one system that Jackson won't blame, of course--the entrenched, bureaucratic school system. (Surely this has nothing to do with the fact that his Rainbow PUSH Coalition receives millions from the NEA.) Jackson is vehemently opposed to educational choice. He called Newark Mayor Cory Booker, who supports vouchers, "a wolf in sheep's clothing." He called the policies of former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who also supports vouchers, "racist."
Jesse Jackson says: Blame everyone else all the time. But kids, if you're not learning, it's your own fault--take some responsibility for it. Bootstraps and whatnot....
Much??recent reporting about the state of k-12 Catholic schools has??offered dreary conclusions. Here's a bit of good news.
Update: Just noticed that the Washington Post reported on this school (and Fordham's Catholic Schools report) yesterday.
States are forced to decide whether graduation confers on those who achieve it validation of knowledge or participation. If a state decides the latter, its diplomas will mean nothing to employers, who require knowledgeable workforces rather than just compliant ones. But when it determines that only after students pass exit exams will they receive high-school diplomas it also, essentially, determines that lots of students won't receive high-school diplomas.
Maryland makes a commendable attempt to reconcile the two options by offering alternative routes to graduation. The Bridge Plan that it has devised, however, is off to an unpromising start.
Update: Oregon, too,??will now have to wrestle with these issues.
Or is there another reason his House Education and Labor Committee cancelled an Earth Day event on environmental education scheduled for today?*
* I know, the answer is surely yes.
Do you remember the Postcards from Buster controversy of 2005? A popular PBS children's television show--funded in part by a "Ready to Learn" grant from the U.S. Department of Education--was preparing to air a segment in which a (cartoon) bunny visits a (real) married lesbian couple in Vermont. The career staff at the Department caught wind of this, passed the news up the chain of command (a chain that yes, included me), a big internal debate ensued about what to do, urgent phone calls were placed, and eventually (and, in my view, quite regrettably), Margaret Spellings, in her first official act as Secretary of Education, sent a letter to the head of PBS saying that "many parents would not want their young children exposed to the life-styles portrayed in this episode." (The letter itself was overkill; the Secretary's office had already learned that PBS was pulling the show. Nor was it necessary to use the "life-styles" code word. But Spellings and her inner circle apparently saw an opportunity to score points with the religious right.)
The whole ugly affair (and my bit part in it ) convinced me that it was time to leave government service for the greener pastures of the Fordham Institute (a decision I have regretted not one day).
OK, enough about me. The point is... this riveting story is now being turned into a play, Dusty and the Big Bad World ! So I learned from...
People wonder: How did Flypaper emerge? What evil genius spawned it?
Coby answers the questions.
Flypaper is no longer the newest blog in the edu-neighborhood. We send our greetings to jaypgreene.com, a direct link to one of the most fertile minds in education reform. His inaugural articles argue that if you stand at a state capitol building and throw a rock, you're likely to hit the teachers' union headquarters--and a male teacher who's sexually abusing his students.
At Marginal Revolution, Tyler Cowen highlights the following passage from Peter Moskos's Cop in the Hood: My Year Spent Policing Baltimore's Eastern District:
An innovative analysis by Eric Cadora highlights "million-dollar blocks"--individual city blocks where more than one million dollars per block per year are spent to incarcerate individuals from that block. Some blocks cost over five million dollars per year.... A million dollars, coincidentally, is roughly what it would cost to pay for one patrol officer, twenty-four hours a day, every day for one year.
I suspect someone could produce an equally alarming study of million-dollar blocks in the context of K-12 public schooling. The raw per-pupil spending figures in several major cities with troubled school districts--$13,446 in D.C., $14,961 in N.Y.C., $21,295 in Newark, to name a few--are already stunning enough.

Welcome to Safety Groups UK!
The mission of Safety Groups UK is
' To promote health and safety by supporting a thriving national network of health and safety Groups'
The organisation, established in 1947, and formerly called The National Health & Safety Groups Council is the co-ordinating body for the network of local Occupational Health and Safety Groups located throughout the UK.

No Time To Lose - Working together to beat Occupational Cancer
Campaign to cut work cancer deaths launched
An industry-wide campaign to cut the number of deaths from occupational cancer will be launched Monday 3 November in London. Safety Groups UK have signed up to this campaign through IOSH.

Worldwide, occupational cancer claims the lives of more than 666,000 a year – one death every 47 seconds.

Attendance: 41,021
San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - Cody Ross doubled in two runs and scored another in the fourth inning to provide enough offense behind Matt Cain in the Giants' 3-1 victory over the Rockies.
Cain (4-4) twirled seven innings of one-run ball, scattering four hits and four walks while striking out seven for San Francisco, which opened this three-game National League West series with its third straight win.
Juan Nicasio (1-1), in his second career start, gave up three runs on nine hits over six innings, though he did record two of Colorado's five hits.
The Rockies, who have lost eight of 10 overall, went ahead in the fourth inning on Todd Helton's run-scoring groundout.
But Colorado stranded Troy Tulowitzki on third base, one of nine left on during its 1-for-13 performance with runners in scoring position.
"It's a rough spell that's lasted a lot longer than we would have liked," Rockies right fielder Seth Smith said.
San Francisco went ahead in its half of the fourth. With two on and two outs, Ross found the gap in left to bring in Freddy Sanchez and Nate Schierholtz, then scored on Brandon Crawford's double.
"When we get a lead I want to stay out there as long as possible. That's really what all five [starting pitchers] try to do," Cain said.
Cain did so by leaving the bases loaded in the fifth when Helton groundout back to the mound, and Giants relievers Javier Lopez and Brian Wilson each hurled a scoreless inning of relief to close of the win.
Wilson had a little difficulty earning his 16th save, but retired pinch-hitter Ryan Spilborghs and Smith to end the game with two runners on base.

Celebrate National Believe Day At Macy's On Dec. 6. (Graphic: Business Wire)
Macy's Believe campaign was inspired by the uplifting story of 8-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon, who in 1897, wrote a letter to the New York Sun newspaper inquiring about the existence of Santa Claus. The editor of the Sun, Francis P. Church replied, "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist…" Macy's Believe campaign is intended to inspire a national movement toward acts of kindness and goodwill toward others, reinforcing altruism as a holiday tradition. As part of Macy's Believe campaign, children of all ages can drop their stamped letters, addressed to Santa at The North Pole, in the Santa Mail letterbox at their local Macy's. For each letter received through Dec. 24, Macy's will donate $1 to Make-A-Wish, up to $1 million, to help grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.
Key elements of National Believe Day include:
"Wishes Across America"
To celebrate the fifth annual National Believe Day, Macy's and Make-A-Wish will grant more than 50 special "Wishes Across America" to children with life-threatening medical conditions. This program was created to inspire others to embrace the spirit of goodwill by granting multiple wishes across the country all on one day, while making a direct impact on their own community.
Million Dollar Day In celebration of National Believe Day, on Friday, Dec. 6 only, for every letter received in-store, Macy's will donate $1 to Make-A-Wish, up to $1 million, above the existing $1 million goal. This new element of Macy's Believe program has the potential to make National Believe Day a million-dollar day, and help generate up to $2 million in total for Make-A-Wish during this year's campaign. "Yes, Virginia" Animated Special The award-winning "Yes, Virginia" animated holiday television special will return this year featuring an all-star cast of voices that includes Neil Patrick Harris, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Alfred Molina and Beatrice Miller in the title role. The half-hour holiday program takes viewers on a fascinating journey about the existence of Santa Claus and the curiosity amongst believers. "Yes, Virginia," presented by Macy's, will air on CBS on National Believe Day, Friday, Dec. 6, at 8:30 p.m. ET (check local listings).Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

"My boyfriend, Bryan, was babysitting his younger brother, and I came over to help. After his brother went to bed, we started having sex on the couch. We were really into it until I heard the garage door open. We scrambled to throw on our clothes and ran into the kitchen so it looked like we'd been hanging out there. I tried to act cool when his parents walked in, and I asked them about their night. Then Bryan's little brother wandered into the room holding a pink thong and said, 'Look what I found, Mommy!' It suddenly dawned on me that I wasn't wearing my underwear. After that, I wasn't allowed in the house when Bryan's parents were away." -Anna, 23
