CRAPPY WEATHER. I work outside as long as I can bear it. The flat is halfway turned into a fiber studio, and looks like a tornado hit it. My current projects are mostly repair, BUT I got a coolish commission last night: To knit a pair of Christmas stockings from a 1930ish pattern for two young kids. Evidently granny has knit abot 30+ of these stockings for the family, but is too old to do it anymore, and the youngest are the only ones bereft. It's not hard: The pattern is poorly written, but I have a sample to work from...Just a long skinny stocking with chilren in intarsia, then a panel with santa, and then a panel with pine-trees before it becomes a standard stock bottom. What I stand to make from these will pay half a month's rent. AMEN! And, I borrowed a digital camera, soI can finally photograph some of my knit projects. Hoo hoo!
So I am making my first foray into lace and I am at a loss. How do I not do a stitch and carry the yarn with me in the squares that are marked as black boxes?
Hi guys~~~
I did post about the NEW "Warm Winter Exchange" last post!
Dead Line of "Warm Winter Exchange" is Nov 10 on Veterans Day! MAKE SURE SIGN UP for the COOL exchange coming cold winter!!!
INFO and RULEs are in my blog:
My Sock Wars death has arrived. Actually, I traveled to Portland this past weekend and met my killer, Grandcarriage.
Thanks, Bob, for killing me with such handsome gray socks.
For the next 30 days I'm going to go on a knitting fast. It's NaNoWriMo time! I've failed to complete it for the past two years... here's hoping for a new result (a minimal RSI)!
Wore my crazy new handknit socks last night. They are textured all the way around, and you know, I like the sensation of the texture underfoot. They felt fabulous but are a little loose, I could probably knit the same yarn on needles 2 sizes smaller. I think I will felt these a little and see how that does.
I wore the socks that killed me (SOCKWARS) last night to keep my tootsies warm (I am putting off turning on the heat in the flat: My electric bill goes from $28 a month to $128 a month, and that's just with having it on in the evening. OUCH!). They too, are a little too big: Kept falling off. So I have a question for you guys who felt: If you were to do partial felting for size: Would you hand wash it and let it felt in the hot dryer, taking it out and trying on the size as you go?
Hey Everyone!
I am looking for a hat pattern. I have decided that it is time to make myself a hat ... it is getting rather cold here in Maine... but I don't really know what I'm looking for.
What would you suggest?
I have been looking for a good board to block my sweater (yes I know I haven't even finished it yet) - but I am a shop-a-holic and love finding things - the more "stuff" I have relating to knitting, the happier I am! .... anyway, I found a great one - it's on this site:
it was costly, but I think it'll be the only one I'll ever have to buy - and it folds up!
I also found some cool tools called Knit Klips (I don't like when people use a "k" instead of the "c" in words just to be clever... (or should I say "klever") ick! :)
BUT the clips are cool! here's the site:
which are kind of like hair clips - they are used to attach pieces together and hold them in place (the same way a clothespin would) - as you are attaching the pieces. I ordered some of these as well (after looking at Wal Mart in the hair aisle at little hair clips and deciding they wouldn't work, and figuring out that clothespins are big and not very strong) - I'm waiting to get them -
I am a spending fiend! let's hope it all works out and is worth the investments!
Just thought I would put a little bit about what I am up to at the moment. I am in the middle of a pair of socks for my friend Clare. I am using self patterning Opal wool which comes out in Purple and mottled stripes (right up her street!). My next project is to copy a rather nice knitted jacket that is in one of the shops here. I want to move away from just following patterns to the letter and move into adapting them to fit my requirements. You never know it might work, and if it doesn't then all I have to do is rip it out and start again. Feel free to drop me a line if you are bored I will get back to you as soon as I can.
OK - I'm working on a sweater, and got the left side of the cardigan done - it's mostly knit and purl, (stockinette) with a ribbed border - of 8 stitches of knit or purl (row 1: k, row 2: k, row 3: p, row 4: p, and so on) - which makes a nice band on the inside most part of the jacket (where the buttons would go) -- I followed the pattern, k1, k2tog, then, to decrease on the "band" side of the sweater, (on the knit row and inside the stockinette part of the pattern), I did an SSK - which decreases the field of the cardigan and moves the "band" closer to the shoulder... (gosh I hope this makes sense) .. anyway, it turned out great. NOW I am doing the right side of the cardigan, and it says only to reverse all pattern and directions for the opposite side. Being the newbie knitter I am, I had made a chart of the hundred or so rows that were done on the left side - so I went to my computer and plugged it all in for the right side and I'm following it along, minding my own business... everything looks great until I get to the place where I need to start decreasing, and doing the SSK.... it seems that all the decreasing, etc, appears to be on the PURL row - and I thought I wasn't supposed to do anyting like that on the purl row... well, it was 10 at night on Sunday and I wanted to try it - the worst that could happen is my friends at the LYS would rip it out for me and help me find my way again - it seems to have worked fairly well - I made up my own SSP kind of stitch and although it looks a tiny bit sloppy I think it's OK -
A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab, and the cab driver won't stop staring at her.
She asks him why he is staring.
He replies: "I have a question to ask you, but I don't want to offend you."
She answers, "My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that would find offensive."
"Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me."
She responds, "Well, let's see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic."
The cab driver is very excited and says, "Yes, I'm single and Catholic!"
"OK" the nun says. "Pull into the next alley."
The nun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush.
But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.
"My dear child," said the nun, why are you crying?"
"Forgive me but I've sinned. I lied I and must confess, I'm married and I'm Jewish."
The nun says, "That's O.K. my dear child, my name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party."

"Ughhhhh...." you sighed as you finished down another beer. Your (h/c) hair was messy, and you had a glazed look in your (e/c) orbs. Let's face it, you were drunk. You had managed to drink all of your best friend's, Ludwig, beer while he was at the store. How could you help it, when he imported the most delicious beer straight from Germany?
"_______, I'm home!" you heard Ludwig shout as he pushed open the front door. His voice sounded far away to you though, like he was yelling in a cave. When he walked into the kitchen, all the groceries fell out of his arms.
"______! What did you do?!" he yelled as he ran over to you.
"What's the matter Ludwig?" you slurred, trying to stand up. Ludwig grabbed your waist to steady you, his mouth hung open as he looked at all the empty beer bottles. He jumped as you ran your hands down his chest, feeling his muscles through the flimsy fabric.
"Ohhh!~ Somebody works out quite a bit don't they~?" you giggled when you saw the blush creep onto his face.
"Come on, ______, come lay on the couch." he muttered as he picked you up and gentley laid you there. Before he could get away, you through your arms around his neck and pulled him on top of you.
"__-______?" he stuttered, not making a move to get up. You smiled and pulled his lips down to meet yours. His eyes flew wide, the blush getting bigger and bigger. You pulled away and giggled.
"Oh Ludwig, do you know how long I have wanted to do that?" He stared at you for a moment, then kissed you again, this time with more force and passion. His tongue didn't ask for entrance, just forced itself in and battled fiercely with your tongue, which you won because of your tipsyness. When you two pulled away for air, Ludwig latched himself on your neck, sucking and licking until he found the soft spot that made you moan loudly.
"Oh L-ludwig!" you moaned as his hands wandered up under your (f/c) tanktop, grabbing your breasts gently. He quickly took your shirt off and threw it across the room. As you were drunk beyond belief, you didn't care that your chest was fully exposed. Ludwig's fingers played with the soft pink buds and rolled them around until they were hard with lust. You gasped and threw your head back in pleasure as he sucked on your left breast, licking and sucking the hard nipple, without forgetting about the right one. You whined when he detatched, but quickly shut up, for he had stuck his hand down your shorts and was now rubbing your clit in small circles. He smirked at you as he insert a single digit, wiggling it around to make sure you were comfrontable. He began to thrust it in and out quickly, earning little moans of lust and pleasure from you. You gasped as he took the finger out and unzipped his pants, revealing a, well, an above average cock. It was huge! Even drunk you suddenly felt shy, and said not a word as Ludwig removed your shorts and (f/c) panties.
"Are you ready?" he asked as he positioned himself at your entrance. You knodded, and he pushed all the way in. You whimpered as the pain hit, but soon it was replaced with heavenly pleasure.
"Move~Please Ludwig/" you whispered. He smiled and began thrusting into you with slow, long thrusts, eventually picking up speed, hitting your g-spot with so much force, you saw stars.
"A-ahhh! Ludwig, I-i'm gonna..."
"Me too!"
You screamed with pure extascy as you reached your orgasm, Ludwig doing the same. When you were both done, Ludwig gently kissed you.
"Ich Libe Diche ______"
"I love you too.

Still here. · 10:12am
I've generally tried to avoid visiting fimfiction recently because looking at the front page tends to make me angry about the quality of the stories there, then I complain about them, piss people off, then get accused of whining too much and expecting too much from people.
So I just sort of stopped.
I'm not that dead. I have a daring Do story that I'm working on which is gonna be one of those magnum opus things or something like that. So yeah, be excited or something.
So yeah, not totally dead.
Or maybe I should just start logging into fimfiction more and writing horrid reviews about horrid stories just to prove I'm still around.

Conservatives, Stop Defending Yourselves
Last Friday, I argued that it would be ill-advised for the GOP to jettison social conservatism. Mind you, I wasn't arguing that social conservatism is the whole of conservatism, just that it is, I think, the key to everything else. Fix the family, and you'll go a long way toward defeating progressivism more generally. So, given that the GOP is going to keep pushing a socially-conservative agenda, | Read More »

Way To Cut Cattle Methane, Threat To Environment, By 25 Percent
"By developing equations that balance starch, sugar, cellulose, ash, fat and other elements of feed, a Canada-wide team of scientists has given beef producers the tools to lessen the methane gas their cattle produce by as much as 25 per cent."
The only sad thing with this, in my opinion, is that it was developed in Canada.

Ken Ham - creator of the Creation Museum and founder of Answers In Genesis (AIG...interesting) - would have us believe that T-rex, that wonderful Jeep smashing, attorney-eating lizard of Jurassic Park notoriety was, in fact, a vegetarian.

- If were not for these people, we would still have coal and steel and power plants pumping toxins into the air. The water and land would be even more greatly polluted than they already are. There would be no one held accountable for the toxins dumped and no one would care about cleaning up their mess.

i really wanted to like this one. but aparently its just not my cup of tea.it doesnt smudge that much besides the clumpage, it doesnt do much at all for me. the wand is too tiny to give it some volume or difinition on the eyelashes, however the up side to this is the packaging and the signiture rose scent. but there are other mascaras thats alot better than this one.
dont waste your time on this mascara. it doesnt do much, if not. its only average
i will not purchase this again
It's very thick, and it clumps. I hate the wand, it's small and it has almost no brush part of it. I will not buy it again.
This mascara is clump city. I bought it because I'm a HUGE fan of Anna's Super Long Lash, but this mascara is just a disaster. The brush comes out and is laden with product and it's really hard to scrape it off. Once applied it just CLUMPS like nothing I've ever seen before. I makes me look like I have 5 eyelashes...very spidery and very brittle looking. To top it off the fibres or something in this mascara irritates my eyes.
Not good.
This really does give you fatter lashes and it held my curl too (most mascaras are too heavy for my lashes and will straighten them out). Too bad it smudged a bit so I had green underneath my eyes from the middle of the day onwards (I purchased this in green). The mascara was waterproof and lasted all day and was a little stubborn to take off.
I like this mascara only when it starts to dry out because somehow it doesn't volumize as much on the first few times when I used it. Interseting to notice that I have the same experience with Loreal and Mabelline mascaras.
I love this mascara!! It's actually my fav mascara right now. It gives great volumn and also lenght! Does not clump and no raccoon look! It stays all day and easy to remove. Also have a nice rose smell. Will definately try other Sui's mascaras.
It's gloppy, and that's not good! I have to scrape the brush several times on the edge of the tube because if I don't I'd be applying mascara that is the consistency of chocolate pudding. I've been using this for two weeks and it doesn't seem to improve or show any signs of drying up. On the lashes, there is some volume and quite a bit of clump, but no shine. A little tear will cause it to smudge like crazy, even with Shiseido Mascara Base! I will be sticking with Shiseido Advanced Volume mascara, which is very wet at first but applies great, doesn't clump as much, delivers more volume and doesn't melt the way Volume Up does! Sorry, Anna =(
this mascara gives volume to lashes but it really clumps! so i dont really like it.. neutral about it though, not my favourite mascara.
This is so hard to find!! I love the Long mascara and was keen to try the Volume Up! I thought I might have to use the 2 together to get what I need.
WOW! The Volume Up makes my lashed look like lashes, instead of little bristley things.
I have no need to use the Long. Volume Up gives my little lashettes volume AND length!!

Because of low participation numbers, the Valley City High School boys basketball program will not field a junior varsity team for the 2013-2014 school year, Dan Larson, the activities director for Valley City Public Schools, announced. "If everyone stayed out that's currently playing in (grades) 9-11 and eighth grade, we'd have approximately 24 athletes," Larson told the VCPS school board during its regular meeting Monday.

Water from Devils Lake does not pose a big threat for catastrophic flooding in Valley City. The public learned this during a public forum Thursday sponsored by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul, Minn. District, and the City of Valley City, where they informed audience the results of the first phase of their feasibility study. The study also showed that some of the alternatives for flood risk management considered were not found to be cost effective and would not be justified for implementation as a federal project.

More on hog confinements, health effects
From Marti Carlson • Oakland, Calif., formerly of Creston | In my previous letter to the editor, I argued against large hog confinements. My argument did not provide the substantive research that I have recently come across. Consequently, I would like to share the links to Steve Wing's research on the detrimental health effects of factory farms and large animal confinements, specifically hogs.

An Idaho woman who operated a fertility brokerage business has admitted to defrauding six Missouri women who provided eggs for the business.
Janae Helgerson of Boise, Idaho, pleaded guilty Wednesday to wire fraud in U.S. District Court in St. Louis. Sentencing is March 16.
Helgerson was arrested in February. Her business, Mid-West Egg Donation, matched couples seeking to conceive a baby with women willing to provide eggs. Federal prosecutors say Helgerson collected payments from couples, but egg donors in Missouri failed to receive nearly $30,000 owed to them.

Greetings Twilighters!
Awhile ago I received a not from warriorgirl11 asking if I could post a journal about a group she is wanting to create. She wants to know if any of you are interested in joining a group dedicated to books becoming movies. Here is what she asks:
"I was wondering if people in this group would enjoy it if I made a group about Books becoming movies. It would have fanart for any books-to-movies, info about them, etc. Would anyone be into it?"
So if any of you are interested, please let her know.
Also, exciting news (though I'm probably a little behind)! "New Moon: The Graphic Novel" is official! It is currently scheduled for release April 23, 2013 and the cover can be seen here: twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Ne… What do you guys think of the cover? Will you be buying it? Personally, "New Moon" was my favorite in the series so I am super happy that it will finally be seen in graphic novel form.
Breaking Dawn Part 2 will be hitting theaters on November 16. Who's excited for it? Are you going to a midnight showing or will you see it later? Or wait for the DVD release? What do you think of the trailers?
I apologize for not updating as often as I should be. College has been consuming me whole this semester. I'm going to try to update more often with either news or just a little something to spark discussion.

UCB Announces New Data To Increase Understanding Of Short- And Long-Term Clinical Profile Of Antiepileptic Drug VIMPAT® (lacosamide)
VIMPAT ® is not approved for the treatment of PGTCS. For more information about this study, please consult the abstract.
For Further Information Andrea Levin, Associate Director, U.S. Communications and Public Relations770.970.8352, email@example.com
Amy Condon, Cooney/Waters Group212.886.2212, email@example.com
About EpilepsyEpilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder affecting approximately 65 million people worldwide and 2.2 million people in the U.S.—making it more common than autism, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease combined. Anyone can develop epilepsy; it occurs across all ages, races and genders and is defined as two or more unprovoked seizures. More than 1 million patients in the U.S. continue to have seizures despite initial therapy. 5,6
About VIMPAT ® VIMPAT ® tablets and injection were launched in the U.S. in May 2009 as an add-on therapy for the treatment of partial-onset seizures in people with epilepsy who are aged 17 years and older. VIMPAT ® injection is a short-term replacement when oral administration is not feasible in these patients. VIMPAT ® oral solution was launched in June 2010. The availability of the oral tablets, oral solution, and intravenous (IV) injection allows for consistent treatment in a hospital setting. The most common adverse reactions occurring in greater than or equal to 10 percent of VIMPAT ®-treated patients, and greater than placebo, were dizziness, headache, nausea, and diplopia. In the European Union, VIMPAT ® (film-coated tablets, syrup and solution for infusion) is approved as adjunctive therapy for the treatment of partial-onset seizures with or without secondary generalization in adult and adolescent (16-18 years) patients with epilepsy. VIMPAT ® solution for infusion may be used when oral administration is temporarily not feasible. The maximum approved daily dose for VIMPAT ® in the European Union and the U.S. is 400 mg/day. Important safety information about VIMPAT ® in the U.S. Warnings and PrecautionsAntiepileptic drugs (AEDs), including VIMPAT ®, increase the risk of suicidal behavior and ideation. Patients taking VIMPAT ® should be monitored for the emergence or worsening of depression, suicidal thoughts or behavior, and/or any unusual changes in mood or behavior. Patients and caregivers should also be advised to be alert for these behavioral changes and to immediately report them to the healthcare provider. Patients should be advised that VIMPAT ® may cause dizziness and ataxia. Therefore patients should not drive a car or operate complex machinery until they are familiar with the effects of VIMPAT ® on their ability to perform such activities. Dose-dependent PR interval prolongation has been observed in VIMPAT ® clinical studies in patients and in healthy volunteers. When VIMPAT ® is given with other drugs that prolong the PR interval, further PR prolongation is possible. Patients should be made aware of the symptoms of second-degree or higher AV block (e.g. slow or irregular pulse, feeling of lightheadedness and fainting) and told to contact their physician should any of these occur. VIMPAT ® should be used with caution in patients with known cardiac conduction problems or with severe cardiac disease. In such patients, obtaining an ECG before beginning VIMPAT ®, and after VIMPAT ® is titrated to steady state, is recommended. VIMPAT ® administration may predispose to atrial arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation or flutter), especially in patients with diabetic neuropathy and/or cardiovascular disease. Patients should be made aware of the symptoms of atrial fibrillation and flutter (e.g. palpitations, rapid pulse, shortness of breath) and told to contact their physician should these symptoms occur. Patients should be advised that VIMPAT ® may cause syncope. VIMPAT ® should be gradually withdrawn (over a minimum of 1 week) to minimize the potential of increased seizure frequency. Multiorgan hypersensitivity reactions have been reported with antiepileptic drugs. If this reaction is suspected, VIMPAT ® should be discontinued. VIMPAT ® oral solution contains aspartame, a source of phenylalanine. A 200 mg dose of VIMPAT ® oral solution (equivalent to 20 mL) contains 0.32 mg of phenylalanine. Common Adverse ReactionsIn clinical trials, the most frequently seen adverse reaction with VIMPAT ® was dizziness (31% vs 8% placebo). Other common adverse reactions occurring in >10 percent of VIMPAT ®-treated patients, and greater than placebo, were headache, nausea, and diplopia. VIMPAT ® is a Schedule V controlled substance. Dosage adjustments are recommended for patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment or severe renal impairment. Use in severe hepatic impairment patients is not recommended. Dose titration should be performed with caution in all renally impaired patients.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Most companies comprise a wide range of operating groups pursuing different organizational goals. The chief operating officer (COO) - who may also be a vice president - is a top-level executive who helps ensure the success of all of these operations. They perform a number of tasks such as making high-level business decisions, supervising groups of managers, and coordinating all of the organization's operations to maximize profitability. They also make presentations to employees, as well as to the chief executive officer and the organization's board. Chief operating officers typically work in a business setting during regular business hours, although overtime may be required for emerging issues and deadlines. They generally report to the chief executive officer.
Read More...Chief Operating Officers report using a large range of skills on the job. Most notably, skills in Leadership, Business Strategy, Sales Management, and Project Management are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 9 percent and 11 percent. Those listing Network Management / Administration as a skill should be prepared for drastically lower pay. Telecommunications and Microsoft Office also typically command lower compensation. The majority of those who know Microsoft Excel also know Operations Management and Sales Management.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Chief Operating Officers who reported more years of relevant experience also reported higher earnings. Substantial, six-figure paychecks show up early in this area; folks who have worked for fewer than five years report earning a median of $105K. For Chief Operating Officers, 10 to 20 years of experience on the job amounts to an average salary of $160K. Folks who have racked up more than 20 years in the field report incomes that aren't that much higher than less experienced individuals' earnings; the veterans make just $171K on average.

Edward Newgate or Whitebeard is regarded as one of the strongest pirates in One Piece. He is one of the rare poeple who can match Gold Roger in a fight.
Not much is know of Newgate's past, but in his youth he was once just like any other pirate, serving on a another mans ship, with a dream, but his dream was quite different from any other pirates. Edward was not interested in treasure like others around him, who felt it weird, that a pirate was not interested in treasure. When they asked what he was interested in. Newgate replied Family.
In time Newgate would build a crew of his own, which he named the Whitebeard Pirates. Building it to become not only one of the largest pirate crews, but also a crew with a bind greater than any other. Truly making his dreams of a family come true. It is not known how there rivalry began but during the age of the pirate kind, Whitebeard and his crew would begin rivalry with Gol D. Roger and the jolly roger pirates, the two meets many times. In fact Whitebeard is the only man to have tied with the late pirate king. During these many fights Whitebeard was often challenged by the younger Buggy and Shanks. Despite their intense rivalry, the two men had a respect for one another, even drinking on an island after Gol made it to Raftel, were Gol told Newgate the meaning of the Will of D.
After the execution of Gol, the Lion Shiki escaped from his prison in impel down. He then met up with Whitebeard. Shiki told Newgate that it was his time now that Gol was gone. Whitebeard not amused by Shiki, tells him to cut the crap, even threatening him by throwing him overboard. Shiki, responds by laughing, and tells Newgate that he's leaving for awhile, saying he's gonna show the rookies, the real fear of pirates. Whitebeard responds by saying plotting something again.
After the age of Gol D. Roger had ended, his final words spurred a new generation of pirates, beginning the start of the great pirate age. Newgate began being referred to as one of the 4 Great Pirate Emperors known as the Yonkou, along with Shanks, Kaidou, and an unknown 4th. Unlike the Marines and the Shichibukai, these 4 held no alliance. At some point in time, Whitebeard went to fishman island, and freed it from constant attacks and slavery.
When his future son Portgas D. Ace set of on his journey, as the captain of the spade pirates. Newgate caught Ace in the paper, referring that he was a promising "young'un", and that he has rejected the status as Shichibukai, but also claimed that he was in a hurry. Whitebeard would then hear that Ace had been searching for him, as he planned to kill him. After the fight between Ace and Jimbei, the Whitebeard pirates showed up. Newgate battled the Spade crew himself, easily outmatching the rookie group, but Ace created a fire wall in order to protect his friends. Whitebeard defeated Ace, but impressed by his resilience offered him a place on his crew, which was rejected. Still Ace was taken aboard the Moby Dick.
After Ace was captured, the spade pirates attempted to rescue their captain, but they too were again defeated and taken aboard. While he was aboard Newgate's ship, Ace would constantly try to kill the captain, but time and time again Whitebeard was able to fend of the atttacks. In time Ace came around, and became another son of Whitebeard. When Ace told Newgate of his true heritage, Whitebeard just laghed, and said that they were nothing alike. Ace asked if Whitebeard was going to throw him off the ship, being Gol D. Rogers son, but Whitebeard told Ace that no matter who brought you into the world, were all still sons and daughters of the sea. In fact while aboard his crew Witebeard knew Ace would be safe from the hands of the world government. Soon after this, Marshal D. Teach who would become Blackbeard broke the number one rule and killed a fellow namaka for a devil fruit. Despite his protests against Ace seeking revenge, he was unable to stop his son.
Whitebeard is a supporting character from the One Piece series by Eiichiro Oda. The series first began serialization in Weekly Shōnen Jump on August 4, 1997. He first appeared during the Jaya Arc that began in Volume 25. Whitebeard is one of the many pirates in One Piece to be directly named after pirates from history. He was based upon the famous Whitebeard, real name Edward Teach. His design thought was based upon the owner of a pub that Oda frequented. he would sit in the car with his medical equipment attacked to his body as he drank sake, calling it his medicine; as he told war stories.
His first anime appearance was in One Piece Vol. 25, CH. 234 "Please Be Sure to Remember It" and his first anime appearance was in One Piece - Episode 151 "100 Million Man! World's Greatest Power and Pirate Black Beard! ". His character in the Japanese series is voiced by Kinryū Arimoto, and the U.S. dub produced by FUNimation is performed by R. Bruce Elliott.
" There's no need for words... Just answer one question for me, Ace... Was I a good father? "
Whitebeard One Piece Vol. Ch.
After Ace went in search of Teach. A member of the red haired pirates.....Rockstar boarded the Moby Dick, in order to deliver a letter to Newgate from his captain Shanks. Unimpressed that Shanks did not come in person, Whitebeard ripped the letter up. Angering Rockstar, that he had ripped the letter up, but he already knew what it was about. His nurses also told him to stop drinking but he did not. Whitebeard told Rockstar that Shanks should come himself, and that he didn't want to talk to some little kid with a runny nose.
Soon after Rockstar told his captain of what happened. Shanks decided to go and meet with Whitebeard himself. The marines tried to prevent the two crews from meeting, fearing what would happen if two Yonkou formed an alliance. Despite this Shanks was able to board Whitebeards ship, were he showed his strong spirit. Shanks claimed that he had brought Newgate some healing water and that he was not there to fight. Whitebeard asks his crew to leave the two men alone, responding that the sake Shanks brought from west blue was not very good. Though Shanks assured him it was good Sake, which upon drinking it Newgate agreed. The two men begin to talk about the past, 22 years ago. About how Shanks had grown to be a strong pirate, and how he was always seen with Buggy during the battles of the Whitebeard crew and the Jolly Roger pirates. Whitebeard aska Shanks how he lost his arm, which Shanks answers by saying he betted it on the new age. Soon the conversation changes to the topic of Blackbeard, were Shanks tells Newgate that it was Teach who gave him the wound on his eye. Shanks asks Whitebeard not to have Ace go after Teach, and that it's best if they stay out of his way. Newgate says that Shanks is 100 years to early to order him around. The two men then draw their weapons and clash, with the very sky itself splitting.
This is a paramecia devil fruit, which was consumed by Edward Newgate at an unknown point in time, and is his primary power in the series. This gives Whitebeard the nickname quake man, and the devil fruit allows him to create shock waves. Fleet Admiral Sengoku stated that this devil fruit gives Whitebeard the power to destroy the world. This devil fruit has been shown to be incredibly strong. Able to create giant shock waves through the ground, waters and even the air. When this is done, the air usually cracks. These shock waves are so great, during the Marineford war, those on other islands could feel it's effects.
Using the Gura-Gura no mi. Newgate has shown the power to create large tsunami's, and even split the entire island of Marineford in two, leaving a large chasm in the middle. This attack is strong enough to practically take out most enemies in a single blow. Even Akainu was quickly subdued by it's powers. In fact it took 3 admirals, to nullify one of Whitebeard's shock waves. While it offers a great offense, the use of this devil fruit also gives a great defense. Able to cancel out other attacks, and break free from capture, such as when Newgate broke free from Aokiji's ice prison. Whitebeard can also focus his shock waves into a single point, forming a bubble around his hand or his bisento. When released it creates a small explosion, which is strong enough to instantly take down two Marine giants. Finally, Whitebeard can move entire islands, tilting them.
On top of his devil fruit power. Whitebeard is also in great physical condition, though it has diminished as he has gotten older. First of all Newgate has incredible physical strength. During his fight against one of the marine giants, he was able to stop a blow of the giants sword with his bisento. This was an impressive feat as the giant was using both of his arms while Whitebeard needed only one to stop the mighty blow. He was also able to stop a moving ship with one hand. Though it has pretty much deserted him Newgate back in the day had amazing reflexes, able to dodge multiple attempts on his life at the hands of Ace, even while sleeping. Finally he has amazing durability, having half his face burned off, being stabbed and shot multiple times and still surviving.

Cramer's 6 Stocks in 60 Seconds: ADP CSCO NRG QCOM UNH BMRN (Update1)
Check out Jim Cramer's latest trading recommendations on "Action Alerts Plus".
Updated from 10:15 a.m. ET to include closing information.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Here's what Jim Cramer had to say on CNBC's "Squawk On The Street" Monday:
Strong numbers from payroll processor Automatic Data Processing (ADP - Get Report) is good news for employment in America, Cramer said. He is also bullish on Qualcomm (QCOM - Get Report), a company that benefits as 4G smart devices continue to proliferate faster than expected.
ADP closed off 1.7% while Qualcomm finished the day up nearly 2%.
Shares of Cisco (CSCO - Get Report) will continue to suffer as telco spending remains sluggish. He was also bearish on NRG Energy (NRG - Get Report) because the company has a focus on electric cars. Cisco shares were virtually unchanged at the close Monday while NRG were off nearly 1%. In the health-care space, Cramer said UnitedHealth Group (UNH - Get Report) continues to do well, even under the Obama administration, as does orphan drug maker BioMarin (BMRN - Get Report), which received positive news of one of its drugs earlier Monday. UNH closed nearly 1% lower while those of BioMarin jumped a healthy 31%. --Written by Scott Rutt in Washington, D.C.

Finding the best restaurants, foods, burgers, and sandwiches in Toronto, Portland, and the U.S.
Wednesday, February 5, 2014
Courtesy Coffee Shop - Blythe, CA
Courtesy Coffee Shop is split into two sections. The more visible section is the diner. The back side is a dinner lounge. Both are stuck in 60's.
Tri Tip with eggs and hash browns. OK but bland.
The lounge brings to mind the term lizard lounge. It brings to mind the 60's with its crescent shaped seating booths and vinyl backed seating. Yup, the decor is stuck in the 60's.
The waitress took our order and walked it over to the diner where it was prepared. The food preparations are also stuck in the 60's but alas the prices are 21st century. I ordered the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes looking like a regurgitated mess. It was OK and the steak sufficiently tender but it was not worth the asking price. I'll leave it at that.
Restroom Rating: 6.5. A definite need for upgrade.

MEDFORD, Ore. – The Oregon Liquor Control Commission is commenting on a series of now-dead ballot measures that would have allowed Oregonians to vote on privatizing liquor sales. They say those measures would have given too much control to grocery stores.
Political group Oregonians for Competition retracted all eight versions of a ballot measure that would have allowed voters to decide on private liquor distribution and sale of liquor in grocery store chains.
Those ballot measures were supported by grocers.
OLCC Chairman Rob Patridge says they had been following the measures closely and, now that they have been dropped, it will allow for more collaboration with legislators.
"It would have been the one-off grocer solution without much collaboration, and the grocers basically forcing liquor manufacturers and others to the table," said Patridge. "What this allows us to do is have a more thoughtful and reasonable conversation."
Right now 248 stores sell liquor in the state. Patridge says he predict the state will adopt a hybrid model, keeping their current state-run distribution system intact but still opening up more retail availability in grocery stores.

Which is Serena Williams's best season so far? 2002 or 2012?

2002 results are better because of the 3 slams but had Serena ended 2012 with the YE #1 I would say 2012 is better because of the Gold Medal and Serena is 10 years older now.
I wonder if using the same ranking system used in 2002 what the 2012 year end rankings would be. Correct me if I'm wrong, but with the bonus points for beating top ranked players used back then Serena likely could have managed a top ranking under that system.

Komui was in a hopeless depression buried in his work. This wasn't unlike Komui to find himself behind a wall of papers and things to get caught up with. It was a vicious cycle he had to deal with every so often. Why he didn't see it before and fix his ways was unknown to anyone, and so the procrastination continued. He was never completely alone though. Reever, on several occasions, would stay to assist Komui in his work and help him stay sane through it all. This night was no different. Reever had stayed after everyone had retired to help Komui, and he started by bringing him some coffee.
"Komui? Komui? Hey chief...answer. Hello?" Reever looked around, but he couldn't seem to get the attention of Komui, wherever he was. He figured Komui must be asleep under his papers so he had to think of something that would wake him up, and he knew just what to do to get his attention.
"Oh Komui...Lenalee brought you some coffee..." He waited a moment for a response. Sure enough Komui sat up kocking papers left and right with his response.
"Oh! How sweet of my darling sister to have brought me coff..." He looked around. "Where's Lenalee?"
"Sorry chief, it's just me who brought the coffee, but you were sleeping pretty heavily."
"Ahh Reever, My sister is really something isn't she?" He took the coffee and drank some before cupping both hands around the bunny mug.
"She's not far off from her older brother." Reever took his coffee and focused on Komui.
"Oh Reever, you're too kind to think so highly of my influence on Lenalee. I am something special aren't I?"
Reever sighed heavily before putting his coffee down somewhere that wasn't covered with papers. Komui was something else entirely, but working with him and getting to know him through the years had made him learn a lot about him. He probably single handedly knew the most about Komui, that is beside his sister, but who knows, maybe he knew even more than Lenalee herself.
"Something special alright..." Reever walked around the desk, not on the same side as Komui and pushed him backwards out of his chair and onto the floor with himself leaning over. Reever leaned down and despite Komui's look of confusion he gave him a light passionate kiss on the lips.
"Get some sleep Komui...I'll finish the work." He stood up looking down at Komui lending him a hand.
"uhh...alright Reever..." Komui was completely caught off guard, but he took Reever's hand and fixed himself in the chair taking his coffee in hand.
Reever wasted no time getting back to work, because he would have a lot of it that needed finishing. He carried on as though nothing had happened and yet, Komui was still completely confused and dumbfounded by the whole ordeal. He looked down at the coffee Reever had brought him and smiled.
"Thank you Reever..."

AT&T Center, San Antonio, TX
SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Kobe Bryant looked back and found himself all alone. All but guaranteed the basket, he went up and slammed the ball with a little extra oomph, just for good measure.
One more win, and Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers will be all alone in the Western Conference and on their way to the NBA Finals.
Fast Facts
• The Lakers are heading back home up 3-1 over the Spurs. Los Angeles, which is 20-3 in its last 23 home playoff games, is 50-10 at home in the playoffs since moving to the Staples Center in 1999-2000.
• Phil Jackson, owner of the most victories of any NBA coach in playoff history, improved to a 190-80 postseason record.
• The Spurs have lost seven of eight and 17 of their last 25 playoff games against the Lakers.
• San Antonio had won 13 straight and 16 of its last 17 home playoff games before losing Tuesday.
-- ESPN Research
The Lakers beat the San Antonio Spurs 93-91 on Tuesday night -- surviving a last-second 3-point attempt that would have given the Spurs the win -- for a 3-1 lead in the conference finals.
"It is a big step for us," said Bryant, who led the Lakers with 28 points and 10 rebounds. "Tonight we came out and did a much, much better job to win in this building in this particular game. It's big for us."
The defending champion Spurs lost at home for the first time this postseason and they face elimination when they play Game 5 in Los Angeles on Thursday.
The Lakers were last in the finals in 2004 when they lost to Detroit in five games.
Lamar Odom, who was upset with his Game 3 performance, scored 16 points, eight in the fourth quarter, for Los Angeles, while Pau Gasol had 10 points and 10 rebounds and Vladimir Radmanovic added 11 points.
"I just stayed composed. I kept my poise," Odom said. "I just stayed tough, told myself it was a long game."
Tim Duncan led the Spurs with 29 points and 17 rebounds, while reserve Brent Barry had 23 points and his last-second 3-point attempt could have given the Spurs the win.
Barry and the Spurs brushed off talk that he was fouled on the play by Lakers guard Derek Fisher.
"That's not going to get called in the Western Conference finals," Barry said. "Maybe in the regular season. But that call shouldn't be called in the Western Conference finals."
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said: "If I was the official I wouldn't have called that a foul."
Fisher said he "never thought they would blow a whistle."
"I think we met simultaneously, and there was contact for sure," Fisher said. "But I don't think I ran through him."
The Lakers opened the game on a 22-8 run and never trailed. The Spurs got within 81-79 in the fourth quarter, but the Lakers scored seven straight points.
"I told them at the end of the ballgame, their energy was terrific," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "Coming out and responding to a loss and getting a lead ... and playing with that kind of energy, I think, carried us over and we responded every time that they came in, tied the ballgame."
