Composting Made Easy
Learn how to make composting at home an easy process.
Basically, if you toss organic material into a pile, give it a little oxygen and water, and wait a while, you'll wind up with compost, which is the finest soil amendment, conditioner, and fertilizer you can get your hands on ... or in. But if composting is so easy and good for the garden, why don't more people compost? Well, some people think it's a lot of work, or they simply don't know how to get started.
Take the hassle out of composting, or you'll never get into the routine. When selecting a site for your compost pile, make it convenient. If you plan on adding mostly kitchen scraps to your pile, locate it near the house. If the bulk of your raw materials is to come from the vegetable garden, your pile should be close to the garden. If you compost a lot of kitchen scraps, it's a good idea to keep a bucket under the kitchen sink, preferably one that holds up to a week's worth of scraps.
Ideally, a compost pile should be situated away from nearby tree roots, because roots will quickly spread through the pile and suck all the nutrients out of the compost. Make more compost faster by locating the pile in an area that gets at least a few hours of sun a day: the heat will help drive the decomposition process. Keep your pile within range of the hose because a compost pile should remain slightly moist at all times. If it dries out, the process of decomposition will come to a standstill, but thankfully, all it takes is a blast of water from the hose to get things decomposing again.
If the perfect spot for your compost pile happens to have grass growing on it, the first thing you want to do is get rid of the grass. Take a shovel and dig out the turf, taking a few inches of soil along the way, and flip the sod over as you go. This will actually kill the grass and at the same time create a good base for your pile. At this point, all you have to do is dump a bunch of raw material on the ground, such as leaves, grass clippings, hay or straw. After all, a compost pile is just that, a pile.
To generate the kinds of temperatures it takes to really cook its contents, the pile should be at least three feet square at the base and roughly three feet high. Any smaller and it won't cook well, and any taller the pile may not get enough oxygen in its center. A compost pile doesn't have to be contained within a fancy enclosure, and since turning a pile is the simplest and surest way to get a lot of compost in a hurry, the most effective and efficient setup is no enclosure at all.
Some people don't compost because they're concerned about destroying the look of their landscape. A compost pile can be unsightly, but ways exist for getting around the problem. The simplest enclosure can be a cylinder of wire fencing, which you can put in a corner of your yard. Wooden snow fencing is a bit more attractive, but more expensive. When it comes time to turn the pile, all you have to do is lift the fencing, move it a few feet, and toss the compost material back into the bin. Setups also can be made using cinder blocks, shipping pallets, or bales of hay or straw.
An old metal trash can is the perfect small space to make compost. You can buy all sorts of compost bins, but a slightly modified metal trash can is one of the best homemade compositors. To make one for your back yard, punch several holes in the bottom of a 20- or 30-gallon trash can with a hammer and a large nail. Flip the can over and set it on a few bricks so air can circulate underneath it. Next, fill the can with about three inches of garden soil, followed by three inches of kitchen scraps, three inches of shredded newspaper, and finally three inches of leaves or grass clippings. Keep the lid on the can, and continue building more layers until the can is full. Within about three months, the compost will be cooked to perfection, all without turning or watering.

Formed | April 25, 1990 |
Headquarters | Vienna, Virginia |
Agency executive | Director, Jennifer Shasky Calvery |
Parent agency | Department of the Treasury |
Website | www.fincen.gov |
The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is a bureau of the United States Department of the Treasury that collects and analyzes information about financial transactions in order to combat domestic and international money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes.
FinCEN's director candidly expressed its mission in November 2013 as "to safeguard the financial system from illicit use, combat money laundering and promote national security.".[1] FinCEN serves as the U.S. Financial Intelligence Unit and is one of 132 FIUs making up the Egmont Group of Financial Intelligence Units. FinCEN's self-described motto is "follow the money." The website states: The primary motive of criminals is financial gain, and they leave financial trails as they try to launder the proceeds of crimes or attempt to spend their ill-gotten profits.[2] It is a network bringing people and information together, by coordinating information sharing with law enforcement agencies, regulators and other partners in the financial industry.[citation needed]
FinCEN was established by order of the Secretary of the Treasury (Treasury Order Numbered 105-08) on April 25, 1990. In May 1994, its mission was broadened to include regulatory responsibilities, and in October 1994 the Treasury Department's precursor of FinCEN, the Office of Financial Enforcement was merged with FinCEN. On September 26, 2002, after Title III of the PATRIOT Act was passed, Treasury Order 180-01[3] made it an official bureau in the Department of the Treasury. In May 2010, FinCEN's information technology called Currency and Banking Retrieval System (WebCBRS) migrated with 11 years of data into FinCEN Query, a search engine similar to google. It is a "one stop shop" [sic] accessible via the FinCEN Portal allowing broad searches across more fields than before and returning more results. Since September 2012 FinCEN generates 4 new reports: Suspicious Activity Report (FinCEN SAR), Currency Transaction Report (FinCEN CTR), the Designation of Exempt Person (DOEP) and Registered Money Service Business (RMSB).[2]
As of November 2013, FinCEN employed approximately 340 people mostly intelligence professionals with expertise in the financial industry, illicit finance, financial intelligence, the AML/CFT (money laundering/terrorist financing) regulatory regime, computer technology, and enforcement".[1] The majority of the staff are permanent FinCEN personnel, with about 20 long-term detailees assigned from 13 different regulatory and law enforcement agencies.[2] FinCEN shares information with dozens of intelligence agencies, including the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms; the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Secret Service, the Internal Revenue Service, the Customs Service and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
The 2001 USA PATRIOT Act required the Secretary of the Treasury to create a secure network for the transmission of information to enforce the relevant regulations. FinCEN's regulations under Section 314(a) enable federal law enforcement agencies, through FinCEN, to reach out to more than 45,000 points of contact at more than 27,000 financial institutions to locate accounts and transactions of persons that may be involved in terrorist financing and/or money laundering.[citation needed] A web interface allows the person(s) designated in §314(a)(3)(A) to register and transmit information to FinCEN. The partnership between the financial community and law enforcement allows disparate bits of information to be identified, centralized, and rapidly evaluated.
As early as 2003 FinCEN disseminated information on "informal value transfer systems" (IVTS), including Hawala, a network of people receiving money for the purpose of making the funds payable to a third party in another geographic location,... generally tak[ing] place outside of the conventional banking system through non-bank financial institutions or other business entities whose primary business activity may not be the transmission of money.[4] On September 1, 2010, FinCEN issued a guidance on IVTS referencing United States v. Banki and Hawala.[5]
In July 2011, FinCEN added "other value that substitutes for currency" to its definition of money services businesses in preparation to adapt the respective rule to virtual currencies.[6] On March 18, 2013 FinCEN issued an interpretive guidance regarding virtual currencies,[7] according to which, exchangers and administrators, but not users of convertible virtual currency are considered money transmitters, and must comply with rules to prevent money laundering/terrorist financing ("AML/CFT") and other forms of financial crime, by record-keeping, reporting and registering with FinCEN. Jennifer Shasky Calvery, director of FinCEN said, "Virtual currencies are subject to the same rules as other currencies. … Basic money services business rules apply here."[8] At a November 2013 Senate hearing Calvery stated "It is in the best interest of virtual currency providers to comply with these regulations for a number of reasons. First is the idea of corporate responsibility." - contrasting Bitcoin's understanding of a peer to peer system bypassing corporate financial institutions. She stated that FinCEN collaborates with the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, a Congressionally-chartered forum called 'Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) Advisory Group' and BSA Working Group to review and discuss new regulations and guidance, with the FBI-led 'Virtual Currency Emerging Threats Working Group'(VCET) formed in early 2012, the FDIC-led 'Cyber Fraud Working Group', the Terrorist Financing & Financial Crimes-led 'Treasury Cyber Working Group', and with a community of other financial intelligence units.[1] According to The Department of Justice VCET members represent the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration, multiple U.S. Attorney's Offices, and the Criminal Division's Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section and Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section.[9]
It has been alleged, that FinCEN's regulations against structuring are enforced unfairly and arbitrarily; for example, it was reported in 2012 that small businesses selling at farmers' markets have been targeted, while politically connected people like Eliot Spitzer were not prosecuted.[10]
In 2009, the GAO found "opportunities" to improve "interagency and state examination coordination", noting that the federal banking regulators issued an interagency examination manual, that SEC, CFTC, and their respective self-regulatory organizations developed Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) examination modules, and that FinCEN and IRS examining nonbank financial institutions issued an examination manual for money services businesses. Therefore multiple regulators examine compliance of the BSA across industries and for some larger holding companies even within the same institution. Regulators need to promote greater consistency, coordination and information-sharing, reduce unnecessary regulatory burden, and find concerns across industries.[11] FinCEN estimated that it will have data access agreements with 80 percent of state agencies that conduct BSA examinations after 2012.[11]
The benefits of FinCEN compared to its threat to privacy have been debated by the Electronic Frontier Foundation in San Francisco since FinCEN's inception in 1990.[12] Its value is hard to gauge without publication of evidence: FinCEN does not disclose how many 'Suspicious Activity Reports' directly result in investigations, indictments or convictions, and no studies exist to tally how many reports are filed on innocent people. FinCEN and money laundering laws have been criticized for being expensive and relatively ineffective, while bludgeoning Fourth Amendment rights as an investigator may use FinCEN's government database system to investigate people instead of crimes.[13]

In addition to the DCCCD Core Curriculum, RCHS students will be expected to participate in the following:
Learning Communities
Learning communities link two or more courses, like English and History, and are organized around a theme. These communities arrange RCHS students and well-trained faculty members into logically connected groups. These courses offer a setting for students to be socialized to the expectations of college and to develop academic and social support networks. A learning community meets for six to eight hours or more each week and learning is based upon collaboration, discussion, and team projects. Richland College has offered learning communities for more than 15 years with great success.
Bringing together students from diverse backgrounds has been proven to increase retention and student success. Assessments by students and faculty and analysis of data from learning communities confirm that learning communities are an outstanding educational opportunity for many students. The interaction in and outside of the classroom, the close communications among faculty members and students, and the focus on a common theme encourage students to work together.
Service Learning
"Service Learning" is defined as a program in which students learn and develop through thoughtfully organized service experiences that meet real community needs. It has become a component of many high schools and community colleges; more than 50 percent of community colleges offer some form of service learning for students. Nearly 500 students volunteered for more than 10,000 hours of service in 2003-2004 ranging from building homes with Habitat for Humanity, to tutoring and mentoring elementary and middle school students, to helping disabled campers at Camp Summit. In addition to the volunteer work, students write journals chronicling their experiences and thoughts, then meet in sessions with their teachers and other students to share feelings and reflections.
RCHS students will be required to complete and document at least 30 hours of service learning each year. This service can be performed in any venue approved by Richland College's Service Learning Coordinator. RCHS staff members will work with the faculty members and the Service Learning Coordinator to develop activities for students during each school year. These activities can be focused for an individual or small group of students who have a particular career interest, such as in health or teaching.
Senior Project & Exhibition
RCHS seniors will be required to complete a publication-ready research paper and project culminating into a "Senior Exhibition." This year-long project will demonstrate a student's proficiency in the academic components of the Collegiate High School education and in applying the intellectual skills necessary for success in college. The exhibition is distinguished by the student's academic independence in generating a topic, involving the college and RCHS community, and making a public presentation that meets the High School's standards of assessment. The project must be tied to one of the United Nations Millenium Goals, must be an original product or research project, and reflect one or more of these academic disciplines:
A student may write a research paper or develop a product with a supporting paper. To complete either option, the student must develop a question or hypothesis worthy of in-depth research, interpret the research to draw reasonable conclusions, and support these conclusions with varied and well-documented evidence. The research paper will manifest scholarly research and demonstrate proficiency in research writing.
Students wishing to develop a product must demonstrate their research through an outcome such as an original computer software, a video documentary, an original music score, a work of historical fiction, product for engineering purposes, or a comprehensive laboratory report of scientific experiment. The accompanying paper would address the historical tradition of the discipline or craft demonstrated in the product and detail how that tradition influenced the student's original work. The exhibition will culminate with a public presentation open to students, faculty, and the community at which the student will present findings and respond to questions.
The Senior Project Lab will support seniors as they develop their exhibitions. In addition, the seniors will engage in activities throughout the year to fulfill this requirement through group activities such as short-term study projects and integrated learning workshops and by working individually with college faculty members and RCHS counselors. Each student will identify one or more content experts outside the high school and college faculty to work with and participate in evaluating the final product and presentation. The public Senior Exhibitions will be held during the weeks before high school graduation as the culmination of the senior's experience at RCHS.
Support Courses
Additionally, each student must take appropriate support courses designed to enhance the RCHS program goals. Courses include:

Nokia seen curbing sales decline with Lumia's China push
HELSINKI (Reuters) – Nokia's push to expand sales of its Lumia smartphones in new markets such as China should help shrink an overall revenue decline and reduce its first-quarter loss, easing some of the pressure on CEO Stephen Elop.
Quarterly results on Thursday are also expected to show a turnaround at communications equipment venture Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN), bolstering Nokia's bottom line and supporting the shares' recovery from last year's record low.
Talvivaara recovery hopes hit as investor sells out
HELSINKI, April 12 (Reuters) – One of Finnish miner
Talvivaara's biggest shareholders has pulled
out of a fundraising and sold its shares after the latest waste
water leak at the company's mine, raising doubts over its
recovery efforts.
Talvivaara shares fell more than 4 percent in Helsinki and
London on Friday after Finnish pension insurance firm Ilmarinen,
which had owned 5.08 percent of the company's stock at the end
of March, said it had sold its investment.
Sale of Nokia Siemens stakes not likely for months: sources
COPENHAGEN/MUNICH (Reuters) – A six-year pact binding Siemens (SIEGn.DE: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) and Nokia (NOK1V.HE: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) in Nokia Siemens Networks expired on Thursday with sources at the two parent companies saying there was no sale in sight for at least the next few months.
The lapsing of the shareholder pact frees the co-parents to sell all or part of their 50-percent stakes in NSN without consulting the other. Some financial analysts who specialize in the technology sector had said a deal could be possible as early as this month after Siemens executives set up an exploratory committee earlier this year.
Euro zone bailouts getting harder to agree – policymakers
SAARISELKA, Finland, March 24 (Reuters) – Euro zone bailouts
are getting tougher to agree as opposition within creditor
nations grows and indebted states struggle to persuade citizens
to back austerity, policymakers said on Sunday.
At a meeting in Finnish Lapland this weekend, attendees
including Ireland's Europe Minister Lucinda Creighton and host
Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen sounded confident that Cyprus
would secure a bailout deal to avoid financial collapse.
Finland: Cyprus deal must put burden on top depositors
SAARISELKA, Finland, March 22 (Reuters) – Finnish Prime
Minister Jyrki Katainen said on Friday it was "fair and right"
that a solution to the Cyprus crisis should include a greater
burden on holders of big bank deposits.
"In a normal market economy an investor always has a risk of
losing money," he told reporters on the sidelines of a meeting
of European policymakers in Lapland, as markets awaited a Cyprus
deal to raise billions of euros and secure a European Union
Nokia CEO's pay package halved in 2012
HELSINKI, March 7 (Reuters) – Nokia Chief
Executive Stephen Elop took a 45 percent cut in his pay package
last year, according to a U.S. regulatory filing, as the company
continued losing market share in smartphones to Samsung
and Apple.
Elop, hired in 2010 from Microsoft Corp to turn
around the Finnish mobile phone maker, earned 4.33 million euros
($5.63 million) in 2012, down from 7.94 million euros in 2011.
Nokia to fight rivals with cheaper models: sources
COPENHAGEN (Reuters) – Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia is set to launch cheaper handset models in an attempt to fend off growing competition from Chinese rivals in the low-end market, company sources said on Friday.
The new models, due to be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress industry convention in Barcelona next week, show Nokia is expanding its focus after concentrating in the past two years on catching up with Apple and Samsung in more expensive smartphones.
Maersk tops profit hopes on container shipping recovery
COPENHAGEN, Feb 22 (Reuters) – A.P. Moeller-Maersk
beat annual profit forecasts and predicted its
container shipping business would benefit from a pick up in
world trade this year, helping to overshadow a warning on
falling earnings at its oil business.
The Danish group, a bellwether for global trade as its
vessels make up 14 percent of world container shipping capacity,
said on Friday its net profit rose 20 percent to $4.04 billion
last year, after it successfully raised freight prices.
ECB's Constancio expects G20 floating FX commitment
HELSINKI, Feb 12 (Reuters) – The Group of 20 industrialised
nations should reaffirm their commitment to floating exchange
rates at their upcoming Moscow meeting, European Central Bank
Vice President Vitor Constancio said on Tuesday.
The G20 accounts for 90 percent of the world's economy and
two-thirds of its population. Russia currently heads the group,
which has been split between borrowers seeking to grow out of a
debt trap and surplus countries keener on austerity.
Nokia axes dividend to save cash for Lumia push
HELSINKI (Reuters) – Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia plans to axe its annual dividend payment for the first time in over 20 years to shore up its cash position against falling sales.
The company, which has fallen a long way behind market leaders Samsung and Apple in the smartphone race, said on Thursday that the suspension of the dividend, which cost 750 million euros ($996 million) last year, would give it "strategic flexibility".

Description [0001] Machining is still used on a wide variety of moldings made from plastic. A large number of these parts were produced from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and to some extent this is still true today. However, attempts are being made to use polyolefins and other semicrystalline polymers to replace this material, for reasons of environmental protection and costs. [0002] However, a disadvantage here is the high toughness of these polymers. Although this is desirable for a large number of applications, it is disadvantageous during machining of the plastic, because shavings do not automatically break off during operations on a material with this property. The raised shaving therefore often remains on the workpiece molding and has to be removed in a further step. Furthermore, this often leaves sharp edges which increase the risk of injury. This is a considerable disadvantage during the production of writing implements, such as pencils, but in particular of sharpenable cosmetics sticks, such as eyeliner. [0003] In the current prior art, this desired embrittlement can be brought about by adding additives, such as inorganic and/or organic fillers, in particular mineral fillers. However, a disadvantage here is the increase in the viscosity of the resultant polymer molding composition, and also greater stress on the cutting edge of the cutter. This becomes blunt more rapidly, and the tool has reduced service life. [0004] The object of the invention consists in eliminating the disadvantages of the prior art, using simple means. [0005] This object is achieved via a process for reducing the toughness of moldings made from plastic, which comprises melting and mixing at least one semicrystalline polymer and at least one amorphous polyolefin in a heatable mixing assembly, processing the resultant mixture to give a polymer molding composition, and processing the polymer molding composition to give moldings. [0006] Surprisingly, it has been found that the desired reduction in toughness of the semicrystalline polymer can be achieved via mixing with an amorphous polyolefin. These amorphous polyolefins do not form a homogeneous mixture with other semicrystalline polymers, the result being an increase in the brittleness of the parent material. In one advantageous embodiment of the present invention, the degree of brittleness can be adjusted as desired via use of amorphous polyolefins with certain glass transition temperatures. In addition, selection of the glass transition temperatures can provide a means of adaptation to the melting behavior and softening behavior of the semicrystalline polymer. This makes subsequent processing easier, because when the polymer molding composition subsequently melts for processing the additive used according to the invention, the amorphous polyolefin, likewise melts. [0007] The invention also provides the use of the moldings produced by the inventive process for machining. [0008] In principle, the semicrystalline polymers which may be used comprise any of these materials, preference being given to polyolefins, polyesters, and polyamides. By way of example, suitable materials are semicrystalline polyolefins. These materials are described by way of example in Saechtling, Kunststoff-Taschenbuch [Plastics Handbook], Hanser-Verlag, 27th edition 1998 on pages 375 to 413, incorporated herein by way of reference. These are generally polymers of ethylene or of α-olefins, such as propene, n-butene, isobutene, or of higher α-olefins, or are copolymers prepared therefrom. Use may advantageously be made of polyolefins prepared from monomers having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, in particular polypropylene, polyethylenes such as HDPE, LDPE, and LLDPE. It is also possible to use mixtures of two or more semicrystalline polyolefins. Where appropriate, the semicrystalline polyolefin comprises other additives, added in amounts that are respectively effective. [0009] Examples of other suitable semicrystalline polymers are polyesters, in particular thermoplastic polyesters, and also mixtures of these. These contain polymerized units which derive from esters of at least one aromatic dicarboxylic acid, in particular terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, or else 2,6-napthalenedicarboxylic acid, and from at least one aliphatic diol, in particular ethylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, or contain the polymerized units of tetrahydrofuran or polyethylene glycol. Examples of suitable polyesters are described in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Ind. Chem., ed. Barbara Elvers, Vol. A24, Polyester section (pp. 227-251) VCH Weinheim-Basle-Cambridge-New-York (1992), incorporated herein by way of reference. Preference is given to polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and also copolyesters which contain butylene terephthalate units and butylene isophthalate units. The polyesters may also have been modified via copolymerization of aliphatic dicarboxylic acids, such as glutaric acid, adipic acid, or sebacic acid, or by copolymerization of polyglycols, such as diethylene glycol or triethylene glycol, or other relatively high-molecular-weight polyethylene glycols. The polyesters may likewise contain other polymerized units which may derive from hydroxycarboxylic acids, preferably from hydroxybenzoic acid or from hydroxynaphthalenecarboxylic acid. [0010] Examples of suitable polyamides are described in Saechtling, Kunststoff-Taschenbuch [Plastics Handbook], Hanser-Verlag, 27th edition 1998 on pages 465 to 478. Polyamides have the formula
[0011] where X and Y may be identical or different and are an aromatic or aliphatic radical. The aromatic radicals generally have meta- or para-substitution. Aliphatic radicals are mostly unbranched, linear or cyclic radicals, but it is also possible to prepare and use materials having branched radicals. The aliphatic radicals are preferably linear, unbranched, and have from 4 to 13 carbon atoms. Particularly preferred polyamides are materials where X is a linear aliphatic radical having 4, 7, 8 or 10 carbon atoms and Y is a linear, aliphatic radical having 4 or 6 carbon atoms. In another advantageous embodiment, use is made of a polyamide in which X is a para- or meta-substituted phenyl radical and Y is a linear, aliphatic radical having 6 carbon atoms, or a 2,2-dimethyl-4-methylhexyl radical. [0012] n is an integer greater than 1, preferably from 2 to 1000, in particular from 80 to 100. [0013] Other advantageous polyamides have the formula
[0014] where Z is 5, 10 or 11 and n is greater than 1, but preferably from 2 to 1000, in particular from 80 to 100. The properties, preparation, and processing of these materials are well known to the person skilled in the art. [0015] Although polycarbonates are not semicrystalline, the same problem arises with these polymers, namely the poor break-away of shavings due to the toughness of the polymer, and this problem can be eliminated in the same way via mixing with at least one amorphous polyolefin. Polycarbonates are described by way of example in Saechtling, Kunststoff-Taschenbuch [Plastics Handbook], Hanser-Verlag, 27th edition 1998 on pages 479 to 485. By way of example, polycarbonates may be prepared via reaction of bisphenol A with phosgene or via melt condensation of diphenyl carbonate with bisphenol A. Possible comonomers are bisphenol TMC and bisphenol S (dihydroxydiphenyl sulfide). The flame retardancy of these materials may be improved via use of halogenated bisphenol derivatives, in particular bromine-containing bisphenol derivatives. [0016] Suitable polycarbonates mostly have the formula
[0017] and may likewise have repeat units of the structure
[0018] where n is greater than 1 and preferably from 2 to 10 000. Particular preference is given to polycarbonates in which n has been adjusted so that the average molar mass does not exceed 30 000 g/mol. [0019] These materials may contain bisphenol units which may have been substituted on the aromatic ring, for example by bromine, or which bear different aliphatic radicals on the carbon atom which connects the aromatic rings (bisphenol-TMC-containing polycarbonates, for example), or in which the aromatic rings have connection by a heteroatom, such as sulfur (bisphenol-S-containing materials). [0020] For the purposes of the present invention, amorphous polyolefins are polyolefins which are solids at room temperature, despite lacking regularity in arrangement of the molecular chains. Their degree of crystallinity is generally below 5%, preferably below 2%, or is 0%, determined by X-ray diffractometry. Particularly suitable amorphous polymers are those whose glass transition temperature Tg is in the range from −50 to 250� C., preferably from 0 to 220� C., in particular from 40 to 200� C. The amorphous polyolefin generally has an average molecular weight Mw in the range from 1000 to 10 000 000, preferably from 5000 to 5 000 000, in particular from 5000 to 1 200 000. These molar masses determined by means of gel permeation chromatography (GPC) in chloroform at 35� C. with the aid of an RI detector are relative and are based on calibration using narrowly distributed polystyrene standards. The cycloolefin copolymers described here have viscosity numbers to DIN 53728 of from 5 to 5000 ml/g. Preference is given to viscosity numbers of from 5 to 2000 ml/g, and particular preference is given to viscosity numbers of from 5 to 1000 ml/g. The refractive index of the amorphous polymer is generally in the range from 1.3 to 1.7, preferably from 1.4 to 1.6. Amorphous polyolefins which may be used with particular advantage are cycloolefin copolymers and cycloolefinic polymers, individually or as a mixture. Suitable cycloolefin copolymers are known per se and are described in EP-A-0 407 870, EP-A-0 485 893, EP-A-0 503 422, and DE-A-40 36 264, expressly incorporated herein by way of reference. The cycloolefin polymers used have a structure composed of one or more cycloolefins, the cycloolefins used generally comprising substituted and unsubstituted cycloalkenes and/or polycycloalkenes, such as bi, tri- or tetracycloalkenes. The cycloolefin polymers may also have branching. Products of this type may have a comb structure or star structure. Advantageous materials are copolymers made of ethylene and/or an α-polyolefin with one or more cyclic, bicyclic and/or polycyclic olefins. A particularly advantageous material is the amorphous polyolefin derived from at least one of the cyclic or polycyclic olefins of the formulae I to VII
[0021] where the radicals R1,R2,R3,R4,R5,R6,R7, and R8 of the formulae I to VI may be identical or different, and are H, C6-C20-aryl, C1-C20-alkyl, F, Cl, Br, or I, n is an integer from 0 to 5, and m is an integer from 2 to 10. A very particularly advantageous amorphous polyolefin which may be used is a copolymer made from ethylene and norbornene. The cycloolefin copolymers are preferably prepared with the aid of transition metal catalysts which have been described in the abovementioned specifications. Preferred preparation processes here are those of EP-A-0 407 870 and EP-A-0 485 893, because these processes give cycloolefin polymers with a narrow molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn=2). This avoids disadvantages such as migration, extractability, or tack possessed by or resulting from the low-molecular-weight constituents. Regulation of molecular weight during the preparation is achieved via the use of hydrogen, careful selection of the catalyst, and of the reaction conditions. [0022] A plastic whose toughness has been reduced by the inventive process generally comprises at least 50% by weight, preferably from 90 to 75% by weight, in particular from 95 to 75% by weight, of the semicrystalline polymer. [0023] In principle, any mixing assembly suitable for the purpose may be used to mix the semicrystalline polymer and the amorphous polyolefin. Suitable mixing assemblies and mixing processes are described in: Saechtling, Kunststoff-Taschenbuch [Plastics Handbook], Hanser-Verlag, 27th edition 1998, on pages 202 to 217, incorporated herein by way of reference. The mixing may be carried out in kneaders, for example, and mention may be made here of Brabender kneaders, merely by way of example. In one preferred embodiment of the inventive process, the mixing assembly is composed of at least one screw-based machine. In one particularly preferred embodiment, the screw-based machines used comprise extruders, in particular twin-screw extruders. The melt temperatures are within the ranges conventional for the particular semicrystalline polymers used: for example, in the case of LDPE the range is advantageously from 160 to 260� C., in the case of HDPE from 260 to 300� C., and in the case of polypropylene mostly from 220 to 270� C. [0024] In principle, any suitable process may be used to produce the moldings. Suitable processes are described in Saechtling, Kunststoff-Taschenbuch [Plastics Handbook], Hanser-Verlag, 27th edition 1998, on pages 201 to 369, incorporated herein by way of reference. Advantageous production methods are injection molding, injection-compression molding, extrusion, or compression molding. A particularly advantageous process is one in which the melting and mixing, and also the shaping, take place in one operation. In a process of this type, a single apparatus is used for the production of the moldings and the mixing of the amorphous and the semicrystalline polyolefin. By way of example, the mixing may be carried out in the extruder also used to carry out the extrusion of the molding, or else in an injection-molding apparatus. [0025] Machining means the operations described in Dubbels Taschenbuch des Maschinenbaus [Dubbel's Engineering Manual], Springer-Verlag, 12th edition 1963, second volume, on pages 631 to 660, incorporated herein by way of reference. Other suitable processes are those which can be carried out using the apparatuses described in that publication. Advantageous processes are turning, planing, drilling, sawing, milling, grinding, broaching, chiseling, in particular screw-thread cutting, gearwheel-milling, gearwheel-cutting, precision turning, precision drilling, and precision milling. [0026] Examples of inventive moldings are carriers for the material to be applied in cosmetics sticks, for example a stick for applying eyeliner and the like, or else pencils, composed of a graphite lead or the like in the interior and externally of the semicrystalline polymer whose toughness has been reduced by the inventive process. These pencils and sticks may be produced in any conceivable shapes and forms, and can be sharpened without leaving sharp edges. [0027] A mixture of 85% of polypropylene and 15% of an ethylene-norbornene copolymer (Topas 6013 from Ticona GmbH, Kelsterbach) was extruded and the extrudate was then cut into pieces of length 15 cm. The shaving produced on sharpening with a pencil sharpener breaks away from the test specimen leaving no sharp edge. [0028] Test specimens were extruded from pure polypropylene. Because the polypropylene has high toughness, break-off of the shaving was difficult and a sharp edge is produced. Referenced by

Sooooooooooo TRUE
Vaan is a total waste of time!!!
I wonder why they made that character anyway???
the animation was good, but i couldnt understand you without the subtitles. i liked mason though :)
Mason is a highlight, most certainly. And sorry bout the audio, I'll try working on that. But yeah, that's what subtitles are there for, better understanding. At least it had subtitles. Thanks for the comment!
Didn't really laugh that much. It was okay. Not enough Final Fantasy jokes... just wasn't that funny.
Sorry, tried to keep things fresh by putting more than one kind of humor in. Sorry it didn't do the trick for you.
I guess I have to disagree with most people
I didn't laugh, and your jokes were kinda...not funny. Didn't really like the guy and his baby, it seemed their part was only written in for fun or something, they seemed to break up the bantering between the two dudes playing different games...
Well, you're entitled to your own opinion, Turkey. Sorry it didn't make your day, but alas, you can't please everybody. Thanks for the comment all the same.
Wow, another boring video featuring young white people trying to talk street and badmouthing everything that's over their heads, which is damned near everything, if you listen to them long enough. How original...
In fact, everything on this video is trite- trite final fantasy parody stereotypes (gay main hero, vapid airheaded bimbos for the girl characters, etc.), stereoype gamer spouting off stereotype insults while thinking GTA is the god of games (GTA is all right, but none of them are that good, when you think about it), and the whole afforementioned white people under the age of 25 stereotype.
If you're gonna pull out every stereotype in the book for game basher flash, white suburban kids and Final Fantasy parody, at least make there be clever twists on it that are actually your voice... clever only belongs in the same sentence as this video's name if the sentence is: there is nothing clever or original about Not-the-Final Fantasy XII.
Then end!
Yeah, ok. First of all, no, GTA is NOT the god of all games, that joke was more about how FFXII isn't interactive at all. GTA is a lot more interactive, but that doesn't make it better. Also, is there a problem with the characters being white? Honestly?
And I wouldn't HAVE to use that typical 'gay main character, bimbo chicks' stereotype if Square-enix would stop using it. All of their games are really similar, so of COURSE the parodies will share this common thread. It's a parody for crying out loud.
Sounds to me like you've been watching too many video game parodies... and if you have that much of a disposition against them, you really shouldn't watch more of them, should you? Of course, you're probably an intense fanboy of this game and it ruffled your feathers more than you would've liked. Otherwise, I can't imagine why you're so angry about it. I mean, what, if the characters were black, would you have liked it more or something? If your judging is based solely on race, then I apologize, but I see no problem with them being white, so white they will continue to be. Get over yourself. Thanks for the comment, as negative as it was...
PS: They're not suburban. Far from it. But assume what you want, I really don't care.
