Applicants to NYU academic year study away programs are generally registered as full-time students at an accredited US college or university. All applicants are required to include two different choices of locations for study and every attempt will be made to match students with one of their top two locations. Students who participate in study away programs have completed their freshman year of study (two full semesters) and have reached the age of 18 prior to the beginning of the term away. Students admitted to the program have earned a GPA of at least 3.0 or higher. Incomplete (I) grades on official transcripts must be resolved before an admissions decision can be made. Students who have completed at least one year of college but are not presently enrolled in a college or university or have already graduated are also eligible to apply; however, priority is given to students currently matriculated.
Students with disabilities who are requesting accommodations at NYU Global academic centers must contact the Moses Center for Students with Disabilities to discuss reasonable accommodations. Students are encouraged to contact the Moses Center for Students with Disabilities prior to choosing a location and should register with the Moses Center as soon as they receive notification of their admission to enroll. Information for students with disabilities who are requesting accommodations at an NYU academic center can be found on the Moses Center website.
All students interested in applying to study at an NYU Global Academic Center must complete the online application which includes an agreement to the NYU Study Away Standard. All applicants are encouraged to include two different choices of locations for study and every attempt will be made to match students with one of their top two locations.
Eligible student types include:
NYU students need to fill out the online application, which includes a personal statement. Students applying to NYU Paris may also be required to submit the Language Background Form available for download within the online application.
Academic Success & Review of University Records
Please be aware that admission to any of the NYU Global study away sites is contingent upon the applicant's continued academic success and a review of his or her University records. Any courses with an incomplete (I) must be resolved before the start of the term away. Should a student's admission be revoked as a result of this review, New York University is not responsible for refunding any expenses incurred in preparation for the intended semester of study.
Students who apply to study away during their first semester in a new NYU school (internal transfers and LS transitioning students) should acknowledge the University policy that requires students to spend their first semester on campus in New York. Exceptions to that policy are granted on a case by case basis.
Discipline Statement
Given their unique nature, membership in a global campus community requires mutual respect, consideration, and concern for the well-being of others as well as a significant degree of personal integrity and maturity. Students whose prior behavior has been determined through the University student conduct process to have been disruptive to the University community and/or antithetical to these qualities may be precluded from participation in the study away experience. Accordingly, please be advised that information concerning student conduct actions is made available to the New York University Global Academic Centers and may be taken into consideration in the process of reviewing a student's application to participate. Students who have been placed on University disciplinary probation or on deferred suspension from University housing are ineligible to participate in study away during the period of their probation and/or deferred status. Students who have been suspended, withdrawn, or dismissed from the University and those who have been dismissed or suspended from University housing are permanently ineligible to enroll at the Global Academic Centers.

Natalie Stewart, a.k.a. "The Floacist," has been forging a fiercely independent musical path since Floetry, the duo she formed with Marsha Ambrosius, broke up in 2006. Stewart self-released a downloadable EP titled The Floacist Presents…Spoken Soul Vol. 1 in 2010. Later that year, her first solo CD was released though independent label Shanachie, The Floacist Presents Floetic Soul. The album charted on Billboard's pop, R&B/hip hop and independent album charts.

Gamma Quadrant
this wiki
|The quadrants of the Milky Way
| The Gamma Quadrant is located in the upper right.
(click to navigate)
The Gamma Quadrant is the common designation for one quarter of the Milky Way Galaxy. Its boundary is defined by a meridian passing through the galactic core and the Sol system, and a second meridian perpendicular at the core. Its closest point to Earth is located approximately 30,000 light years away. However, the stable Bajoran wormhole links a point four light years away from the Idran system in the Gamma Quadrant with the Bajoran system in the Alpha Quadrant. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)
Vash commented that some of the cultures she had encountered in the Gamma Quadrant had histories spanning millions of years. (DS9: "Q-Less") It is believed the Hur'q originated from the quadrant. (DS9: "The Sword of Kahless")
Using their system of gateways, the Iconians were able to settle the world of Vandros IV, on the edge of the Gamma Quadrant. (DS9: "To the Death")
The quadrant was first explored by the Federation's Quadros-1 probe in the 22nd century. (DS9: "Emissary")
A Barzan probe sent through the Barzan Wormhole discovered that the Gamma Quadrant terminus was located beyond the Denkiri Arm, a distance that at warp 9 would have taken nearly a century to cover, this later shifted to the Delta Quadrant and the wormhole was discovered to be unstable. (TNG: "The Price")
A Tosk came through the Bajoran Wormhole from the Gamma Quadrant and docked at Deep Space Nine on a hunt and was pursed by Hunters, The Hunters said that Tosk was bred to be hunted by them and had spent his entire life preparing, later the Hunters were allowed to resume the hunt and take the Tosk back with them to The Gamma Quadrant after Chief O'Brien helped the Tosk to escape and leave back through the Bajoran Wormhole and into the Gamma Quadrant. (DS9: "Captive Pursuit")
The archaeologist Vash explored the Gamma Quadrant for two years at the invitation of Q in 2367. She was found there in 2369 by members of Deep Space 9's crew. (TNG: "Qpid"; DS9: "Q-Less")
Deep Space Nine had the distinction of making first contact with a Gamma Quadrant species known as the Wadi. However, the Wadi showed no interest in formalities and headed straight to Quark's. The Ferengi initially saw the Wadi as a potential source of great profit, but when the Wadi master Dabo and go on a winning streak, Quark had one of his waiters rig the game. The Wadi caught him and forced Quark to play "an honest game" called Chula, using living people as players, but this was revealed later to be only a game and not really dangerous. (DS9: "Move Along Home")
Kai Opaka was taken through the Bajoran Wormhole by Benjamin Sisko and they found a distress signal they then found a planet with a network of satellites, one of which was malfunctioning. Their runabout approached the planet and one of the satellites attacked it, forcing them to crash land. Opaka died in the landing, which devastated Kira; however, her mourning was interrupted by a group of people called the Ennis are who were at war with a group called the Nol-Ennis, both groups were being regenerated by some form of extraterrestrial nanotechnology. The same technology revives the Ennis and Nol-Ennis, but rather than a blessing it is a curse: Both groups were sent to the planet as punishment for centuries of conflict, doomed to die over and over, Kai Opaka accepts that she cannot leave the planet in the Gamma Quadrant and feels called to help the two warring factions learn how to live in peace. (DS9: "Battle Lines")
The Vulcans were at the forefront of the exploration of the Quadrant, beginning only months after the wormhole was discovered by Benjamin Sisko and Jadzia Dax in 2369, the Vulcans made many discoveries, including the remains of the Hur'q race. (DS9: "The Sword of Kahless")
The Klingons showed an interest in exploring the Gamma Quadrant shortly after its discovery by sending their own scout ships to the quadrant. (DS9: "Q-Less") The IKS Toh'Kaht was among the first ships to explore the quadrant in an effort to establish colonies on the other side of the wormhole. They also operated freighters to the quadrant. (DS9: "Dramatis Personae", "The Storyteller")
On the other hand, no Romulan ship had ever been to the Gamma Quadrant until late 2371 during the Tal Shiar's abortive attack on the Founders' homeworld. (DS9: "Visionary", "The Die is Cast")
The Ferengi saw the Gamma Quadrant as an enormous chance to make a profit and their reputations would be, as Gral put "absolutely stainless". (DS9: "The Nagus", "Rules of Acquisition", "Starship Down")
The Bajorans also colonized a planet in the Gamma Quadrant, New Bajor, in late 2370. Unfortunately, the planet was invaded by the Jem'Hadar, who massacred the population. (DS9: "Crossover", "The Jem'Hadar")
The planet Meridian was also located in the Gamma Quadrant, and spends most of its time in another phase of existence, where its people exist only as consciousness, with no physical being. The planet is in this dimension for a very short time. In twelve days it will disappear for sixty years. Each time it returns, the planet will have less time in this universe, and eventually will stop appearing. (DS9: "Meridian")
The starship Defiant was caught in a type of "quantum-bubble" surrounding an inhabited planet. After investigation, it is discovered that the inhabitants are the descendants of the Defiant's crew. Generations of descendants have been living on the planet for many years and their own history began when the Defiant tried to escape from the bubble. Instead of passing through its energy barrier, the ship was thrown back in time two centuries and crashed with no hope of contacting the Federation or repairing the ship. Faced with that reality, the small stranded crew of the Defiant (including Dax, Sisko, O'Brien, etc.) decided to remain and establish a society. (DS9: "Children of Time")
The Dominion
A large portion of the Gamma Quadrant was under the control of the Dominion, which was established some 10,000 years prior to 2375. Other powers have been encountered, but their status with the Dominion is unclear. (DS9: "The Dogs of War", "Whispers", "Hard Time")
In the act directly precipitous to the Dominion War, the Federation mined the entrance to the wormhole (leading to the Gamma Quadrant) in 2373. This cut off access to this quadrant from any Alpha Quadrant powers and prevented Dominion reinforcements from adding to the Dominion War. (DS9: "Call to Arms", "Sacrifice of Angels", "Tears of the Prophets")
Spatial landmarks
In response to inquiries as to why the Federation continued to visit the Gamma Quadrant, Ronald D. Moore stated:
- "The Dominion does not own the entire Gamma Quadrant. We had explored the GQ for two years before encountering the Dominion, so it's not as though the wormhole opens up in their living room. There are other races in the GQ that are not part of the Dominion and the Ferengi at least have established trade with some of them. When the Dominion told us to stay out of the GQ, it was as if China told the US to stay out of the Yellow Sea. China is the big boy in this neck of the woods, and you better take their warning seriously, but at the same time we have trading partners and allies there and hey, freedom of the seas and all that." (AOL chat, 1997)
The exploration of the Gamma Quadrant resumes in 2376, with Elias Vaughn leading the USS Defiant in the Mission Gamma miniseries.

1st Tourbillon watch adjustable to the second, Duomètre Sphérotourbillon
Using the Dual-Wing concept has enabled the Jaeger-LeCoultre watchmakers to create the first tourbillon with precision adjustment. The small seconds can be reset with a push-piece, according to the flyback principle. A particular feature of flyback is that it does not stop the function of the regulating organ. The small seconds hand is reset, and immediately continues its course. As a result, the watch retains maximum precision even while the time is being set, accurate to one second.

This week Gerald Kitabu interviewed Masozi Nyirenda, a disaster management expert on how best the nation can face up to the challenge. Excerpts:
QUESTION: What is the current state of disaster management in the country?
ANSWER: Taking a review of disaster occurrence in Tanzania and the response from responsible authorities, I conclude that at the moment the disaster management system is very poor. I assume that may be our government has not been well prepared to face such challenges or the relevant authorities have not been responsible enough.
There is a low level of efforts taken to put in place mitigation or prevention measures for occurrence of disasters. Instead, we have used a lot of efforts to support post disasters. Preparedness and response efforts have not been effective as well.
Q: Why?
A: We have observed in a series of disaster events which have occurred in the country that one could see the Disaster Management Unit in the Prime Minister's Office as well as other supporting institutions such as fire department, police, national service and medical departments are ill-equipped to deal with such events as well as their time for response is very slow and poor.
To mention just a few, on May 21, 1996, the Mv Bukoba marine disaster caused a loss of human life and property. The boat was ferrying passengers and cargo between Bukoba and Mwanza ports. The steamer's capacity was 430, but around 800 people drowned as the boat sank in Lake Victoria. The manifest showed 443 passengers in the first and second class cabins, but the cheaper third class compartment had no passenger manifesto.
Last year, our nation was struck by a wave of grief following a marine disaster when the ship Spice Islanders which was heading to Pemba drowned and caused loss of property and human life. There are several such disasters in marine transport in the country which have caused loss of lives and property due to negligence.
Other disasters include the fire inferno at Shauritanga Secondary School which killed 43 students. However, it seems no effective measures were taken as the i8ncident occurred again few years after the first incident.
Last year we witnessed bombs exploding at Mbagala and Gongo la Mboto military camps and caused loss of to human life and property>
My argument for strengthening disaster management system is based on how responses towards disasters have been in Tanzania. Mostly we have rushed and utilized a lot of resources and efforts to rescue victims of disasters after their occurrence.
We have not established systems which will help in prevention or reducing the effects of disasters. In addition, the current floods have revealed how vulnerable we are in terms of poor disaster management skills among citizens as well as lack of adequate and reliable equipment for rescue operations.
According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), traditionally local communities in Tanzania use "reactive or crisis management approach" to react to natural disasters.
Under this approach, the communities wait until an event occurs and then try to mitigate the consequences by whatever means available as quickly as possible. One of the reasons for adopting this approach is due to the uncertainty of the occurrence of a natural disaster, so rather than incurring costs in preventive measures, the villagers adopt a 'wait-and-see' approach.
The reactions by various government authorities which are responsible for disaster management on various disasters which have occurred, concurs with UNEP observation. We are yet to establish a disaster management system which aims at offsetting or minimizing risks so that disasters do not occur completely or when they strike, they do not cause severe damage on the wide population.
Q: To what extent have disasters affected the youth?
A: It is widely known that children and youth constitute a large percentage of the population. During disasters, it is the youth and children who are largely affected. For example, in recent floods some of the youth lost their lives, their homes, their properties or might have lost their beloved ones including parents.
This means it will take a lot of time for them to recover from such loss. There is a need for putting into plans how to support youth who have been affected by disasters.
Q: Are the disaster and safety management facilities adequate?
A: As I said earlier on, to be honest we have observed that all our units which could have supported disaster management are ill-equipped. For example, during the recent floods, there were inadequate rescue boats and other flood rescue gears such that one Member of Parliament had to hire a boat to support rescue mission. Some of the citizens sacrificed to swim with no life jackets to rescue fellow citizens.
Even the National Service and Police rescue team was exhausted as they had to shift from one place to another to do rescue activities, while we expected that different teams could have been deployed to various places with all required instruments. Suppose the problem would have been much bigger, I think we could have lost more lives and property.
Q: What are the potential disasters at the moment?
A: Apart from the disasters which have already happened, there are many potential disasters which can be prevented from happening, but the responsible authorities tend to ignore them.
The urban planning system which could have supported in effective disaster management is also very poor. In most of the places the houses are unplanned, too congested and constructed in flood valleys such that during emergencies the rescue operations become very difficult. Disasters such as fire, flood, or diseases out break can be intensified in such areas.
Effective urban planning do not allow people to dwell in areas prone to floods. However, there has not been in place effective measures to ensure that people do not construct in valleys. Every year during heavy rains, there has been many cases of loss of property, lives and outbreak of communicable diseases.
Recently, I was doing shopping at Congo Street in Kariakoo, and observed that there are underground shops. None of them have fire extinguisher systems and fire or flood escape systems. In this case, when fire, earthquake or flood disaster happens it is likely there will be massive loss of lives and property. I was wondering whether the government department which inspects building provided permits without ensuring such systems are in place.
We need to consider that disaster management does not end with natural events. Disasters caused due to socio-economic and political unrest and crises should also be considered when designing disaster management systems.
There are some political strives which have resulted into intensified clashes, loss of lives, property and peace among Tanzanians. However, there are some of these strives which could have been prevented if the responsible authorities could have been accountable. For example, if students' loans are given on time, we do not expect to see frequent country wide boycotts in universities.
On the other hand, let us see that an increasing number of youth who are unemployed is a potential disaster once they decide to take to the streets to pressurize the government to do something about their lives.
Q: Two weeks ago, the Tanzania Meteorological Agency (TMA) did forecast that there would be floods, but that did not happen. What is your comment on this?
A: For a number of years, most of the weather predictions have not happened. I conclude that our Early Warning Systems are poor including the meteorological unit. People have complained about TMA providing false alarms, which might in ignorance of such warnings in future. There is a need to have updated equipment which could provide accurate prediction by at least 80 percent, but total miss of predictions is a total false alarm. TMA should take this seriously!
Q: After disasters have happened, what should be done?
A: There are four phases in disaster management, namely mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. Therefore, after disasters have occurred the last stage on "Recovery" should be done. The aim of the recovery phase is to restore the affected area to its previous state.
Recovery efforts are primarily concerned with actions that involve rebuilding destroyed property, re-employment, and the repair of other essential infrastructure. Efforts should be made to "build back better", aiming to reduce the pre-disaster risks inherent in the community and infrastructure.
On the other hand post-disaster recovery can be a good opportunity to take some measure which might not be popular such as re-allocation of victims, completely banning on utilization of disaster prone area, demolishing of infrastructure prone to disaster and many others. Citizens of the affected area are more likely to accept more mitigation changes when a recent disaster is in fresh memory.
However, caution should be taken that people should be re-allocated to areas where the government has put in place important social services in the new place to support start up for the re-allocated people.
Q: Are the plans to re-settle the victims of disaster effective enough?
A: I commend the government for efforts taken to support flood victims, however, there are a number of things which have not been taken in ensuring that flood victims have smooth transition in settling down.
This includes ensuring that re-settlement areas have basic social services such as water, latrines, shelter and food. We have heard of re complaints from victims of previous disasters, who were re-allocated in areas with no social services.
Q: Some victims would need psycho social supports to come to normal life, is this done to the recent flood victims?
A: Our Disaster Management System lack post-disaster trauma psycho-social counseling services, which is an important component to help disaster victims to start up their lives. Even in the recent flood disaster in Dar es Salaam, I have not heard any call for volunteer counselors to provide counseling services provided to victims.
You know when someone loses everything he or she has worked for many years, there is possibility of having trauma, and can result in to post-trauma diseases or even suicide in some cases. I would like to advise the concerned authorities that this is very essential in disaster management.
Q: Finally, what is your advice to the government and the public at large?
A: To the public, we need to be cautious on potential disasters as at the end of the day we are going to be victims.
To the government, I think there is a need to have public education on disaster management drills, so as to help save more lives and property when disaster hits.

Moving Through Grief
Feeling better won't happen overnight. At first, it may be all you can do just to get through the day. But there is hope. Know that you will feel better with time, as long as you let yourself grieve. You need to grieve in order to heal. It hurts, but it is a normal part of healing process.
The First Response
Your first response is often the most intense. You may cry a lot. Or you may feel a deep numbness or shock. Everyone grieves in his or her own way, but there are common signs of grief:
Having intense mood swings
Sleeping too much or too little
Eating too much or too little
Having trouble thinking clearly
Wanting to be alone all the time
Give Yourself a Break
Try not to expect too much of yourself right away. It may be hard to work, take care of the kids, or focus on projects for a while. Give yourself more time than usual to get things done, since you may be distracted. Take time for yourself. Do some things that you enjoy. Go for a ride in the country. Read. It may feel like nothing brings you joy. But know that time really does help.
Know Your Grief Process
Let yourself feel all of your feelings and go through your grief fully. The process is full of ups and downs. One day you may feel a lot better. The next day, you may cry again. Try not to think: "I should be over this by now." There are no "shoulds" to grief. Let yourself mourn your loss as long as you need to. It might help to think of ways you dealt with a loss in the past. That way grief won't seem so scary and overwhelming.
Avoid Common Traps
Because grief hurts, it's tempting to avoid the pain. Grieve now. Try to avoid these things that delay healing and cause new problems:
Using drugs, alcohol, or food to numb your feelings
Making the loss seem smaller than it really is ("We weren't that close")
Working long hours to avoid pain
Trying to replace the loss
Thinking over and over how you could "undo" the loss
Staying alone to avoid sad feelings that come up around friends or family
Thinking you have to stay strong all the time

- Thank you for your constructive criticism. Is there a particular aspect of it that "sucks," in particular?--<<>> 13:35, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- Sure - just about all of it. The idea, while good, is better placed on Fox News, or perhaps UnNews than the main page. While I see where the idea was going, I believe it flopped. The sudden change in site design, while comical in certain circumstances, annoys me more than provides for humor. Perhaps its just my natural disdain for anything related to the idiots at Fox, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, BBC, and every other "mass news media" station, but this Main page does not work for me.

This user account has been created by a member of the MediaWiki foundation. I find this project to be amusing. However, as you are most likely aware, all websites created with MediaWiki are subject to frequent vandalism and other undesired content. I am here to test your skills at combating these annoyances. Please do not be alarmed. Your instructions are as follows:
- Respond to this comment within the next 30 minutes to confirm that you are ready.
- I will "vandalise" random pages, so be ready. Your efforts will be timed by me and the results will be analyzed by the MediaWiki foundation. The results will be given to you when the analysis is complete.
- You must respond as you would to a real vandal. If you would warn him first, do so before blocking this account!
- Set the block time for this account to 24 hours. If you block this account for more than that time or without an expiration, you will have immediately failed your audit.
Please allow at three days for us to analyze your audit, but we will give you the results absolutely no later than in seven days. If you have a specific person or administrator that you want us to send the results to, please specify this in your reply to this message.
Remember that your wiki website has been picked randomly out of the most contributed to wiki sites on the web.
Thank you for your attention! We are excited to see these wiki sites grow.
Thanks, --MediaWikiAuditor 03:44, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- Well, this is different. This ought to be interesting, as I've noticed vandalism around here is more constructive than destructive. How does that factor in to the results? --Ekashp 03:59, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- We've factored that into our Audit. We unanimously agreed that most of the "vandalism" that will be used in the audit will involve just blanking pages, or possibly breaking policies. But then again, you won't know. Just wait another 23 minutes or so until the audit begins. Thanks for replying to my information! --MediaWikiAuditorsend me questions regarding audits 04:04, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- I guess it was either do this... or play with yourself; well, looks like the decision has been made for you --Olipro Anchor KUN (Harass) 04:33, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Audit results
Hello, Uncyclopedia users and administrators,
As you remember, an audit was performed on your website several days ago. After presenting the results to the members of the Wikimedia foundation, we are ready to share them with you:
Here are the details:
- Quick block: 1/1 (you blocked the previous account within 5 minutes)
- Quick restoration of vandalized page(s): 1/1
- Blocking according to specifications: 0/4 (the previous account was blocked indefinately)
- Warning system: 0/1 (you gave no warning before blocking the previous account)
- Communication with other users regarding blocking and/or vandalism activity: 1/2 (you communicated that the previous account was blocked, but no that it was going on)
- Blocked in accordance to policies: 1/1
As you see above, what really detracted from your score was the block time issued. Perhaps this was a software error? Or maybe there needs to be more help pages on using the interface? These are common problems that cause this loss of points. I reccommend that you definately look into that. Finally, remember that communication is key to blocking vandals! Keep in contact and let people know when there is a problem.
Thank you very much for your time. --MediaWikiAuditorResults 03:24, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Oh, by the way, it is unlikely that people who respond on IRC will know about auditing. Few people have been briefed on this and if those who have been briefed are on IRC, they have been instructed not to inform you that they are auditors or give details regarding audits on a public chatroom.
- God told me to block it infinitely. Can I get points for that? • Spang • ☃ • talk • 03:31, 17 Apr 2007
- Allow me to fix the errors in the report.
- Quick block: 1/1 (you blocked the previous account within 5 minutes)
- Quick restoration of vandalized page(s): 1/1
- Blocking according to specifications: 5/4 (the previous account was blocked indefinately, which is in fact, what we do with vandalism-only accounts - not to mention God approves)
- Warning system: 1/1 (you gave no warning before blocking the previous account, like one was required)
- Communication with other users regarding blocking and/or vandalism activity: 2/2 (It's called the "block log")
- Blocked in accordance to policies: 1/1
- So as you can see, we did pretty damn well. Now GTFO. —Major Sir Hinoa prepare for trouble • make it double? 03:32, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Audit of Auditor: Results
As you probably didn't know, you were actually being audited on your auditing skills here. I'll give you the rundown of the results here:
- Believability: 1/10 (Your formatting was OK, but "mediawiki foundation" is just inexcusable)
- Vandalism attained: 0.2/10 (You blanked one page, which was reverted within seconds)
- Persistance: 6/10 (You came back even after the initial block and disbelief, still in character)
- Humour value: 4/10 (You were kind of amusing, but not laugh out loud funny)
- ???: 7/10 (Good ???)
- Profit: 0/10 (No profit attained)
Thank you very much for your time. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 04:02, 17 Apr 2007
- That's awesome. I don't know why, but every time I read "no profit attained" I crack up laughing. User:Wehpudicabok/sig 22:06, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Audit of Audit of Auditor: Resultseses
As nobody knows, all audits of auditors are audited. Here's the preliminary results:
- Self-reference: 5/10 (Needs more auditing of itself)
- Sensibility:8/10 (It was readable. HOW?!!??!!?)
- Creativity: 7/10 (Auditing a fake auditor is good for a quick laugh, but then to have that audit audited is just nasty. Terribly sorry)
- ...
- Profit
I hate smileys.

What's going on with Croatian uncyclopedia?
Does anybody know why Croatian uncyclopedia ( Neciklopedija ) doesn't work for a few days? Is there some problems and does anybody know when will it be fixed? Beforehand thanks for answer. Here is the link: http://hr.uncyc.org/
- I'm not sure, but it could be related to having the same name as the Serbian one. Again, I'm not sure. Something similar is happening to the Gothic one, it could also be that they're new wikis. User:Smiddle/sig 10:13, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Hmmm... It is possible that problem is connected with the same name as the Serbian one, but what does it mean; does it mean that Croatian uncyclopedia should change here page's name or what? - The same problem with loading had have Serbian uncyclopedia and Magyar uncyclopedia before two or three days, but today theirs pages are working. And I can see that Ghotic, ไร้สาระนุกรม and 伪基百科uncyclopedia still doesn't work. - Do you know will someone from uncyclopedia.org fix this problem with Croatian uncyclopedia?
- A whole bunch of these were moved to a new server and new MediaWiki version mid-week; long-overdue as they outgrew the old server months ago. At one point during the upgrades Gothic and Croatian were redirecting to UnCommons, thankfully that much seems to be back to normal now. Simplified Chinese (uncyclopedia.wikiachina.cn) is still completely broken, but that's unrelated (a Wikia problem) and hasn't worked at all for at least half a month now. --126.96.36.199 13:27, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

The famous words "FUCK THE RICH!!!" is no more... thanks to the new eye liquid called "BEANS" and including awful spelling errors e.g. BEORNS!, FLEAS!, (more famously known is) OUCH A FINCH ATE MY ARSE! 5 more queer nerds started a food fight with only a clam full of these fantastic new "anchors"
A man of much wealth called Mr bean has died a crotch-wetting incident where he swore the god's name in vein then Jesus ended up eating him alive. Jesus then got incinerated alive by Garurumon, who then spontaneously combusted after the christis.
The first man to the moon was a bean! horrific news for everyone who like sprouts!!! 99.9% of all queen bees have lost their teeth in the first world war. few minutes later the bean had crapped into the nearest crater making no faint whistling noises which made his pet dog bleed to death.

You blokes at Uncyclopedia seem to be falling behind. Wikipedia seems to have a brilliant idea of requested pages. Say, I want a page on Green Beans? Wikipedia handles it perfectly. Well, not really, they yelled at me quite nastily and spit flew in my face and they told me to just look up beans, but if someone wants to look at something funny on Uncyclopedia and its not there, what are they gonna do?

Religious subjects--not funny
I noticed that the Uncyclopedia contains a lot of articles that supposedly make fun of Christianity. For example, there are "funny" articles on God, Jesus, and other key elements of Christianity. I also noticed that they also make fun of other beliefs in Christianity, like the Paul Bunyan article, which pokes fun at creationism (Christians do not believe that the Grand Canyon and other geographical details occur through millions of years, but through the Great Flood). The article on the Giant Spaggheti Monster makes fun of Christian worship. And there are articles that make fun of the Pope, the Cross, baptism...
Not many articles make fun of other religions, at least not to my knowledge. But there are dozens that make fun of Christianity. Why? Please try and make your so-called funny articles less offensive. There are such things as clean, inoffensive jokes on religions. Those articles are not among them.
Before you reply that those who object to religious jokes are narrow minded, racist, or discriminate others, try publishing a "funny" article on Islam, Allah, or the Prophet Muhammad, and see if you can get away with it.
- Well for starters, you can peruse the religion category (which contains over 700 articles) and then go for Islam, Allah, and Muhammed, or Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism. You can't say that there aren't articles covering practically every well known religion.
- I'm going to have to object to your statement that people who object to religious humour aren't narrow minded. Who are you to say that that subject isn't funny, and should be steered clear of? Is it OK to have articles on cancer and rape and generally bad things? Who decides where the line should be drawn?
- If you start removing jokes because they might offend Christians, what about people who are offended by other non-religious things? What about someone who is offended by the You have two cows series, because by its nature it relies on stereotypes to make the joke? Why should you have any more right than them to censor that potentially offensive material just because it's your religion?
- When it comes to humour and especially satire (which is what we aim for generally, where possible) either nothing is out of bounds or everything is. That's how free speech works. You have your right to be offended when someone makes fun of something relevant to you, as you should, but you do not have the right to stop them saying it, or stop other people being either amused or offended by it.
- Humour is always subjective, so if you feel the articles are of terrible quality, regardless of the subject matter, you can vote them for deletion. If the articles are of bad quality, people will also vote it for deletion, and the article will be removed. But if you want them removed simply because of the subject matter or because they offend you, it isn't going to happen.
- You're welcome to try and write a tame version of any article you like, and see if people prefer it over what's there. But what about people who will get offended by the fact that the article even exists, or that you tried to make any joke at all involving that subject? Should you take their opinions into account?
- As I said before, either nothing is out of bounds, or everything is. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 09:39, 10 Jun 2007

Immature humour
I don't know whether this is just me, but I find that there are a lot of witty things said here, and a lot of jokes that make you laugh, but some pages have some of the worst jokes which are just made by immature humour, which is usually just swearing. Some pages just have jokes made up of swear words on them, and it's not funny. Saying totally random stuff is funny, but sometimes it just isn't, like I read somewhere "Haydn was also the inventor of rice". I don't see how this is funny. Could some people please edit bits like these, as it's just people putting immature stuff which they believe people will laugh at because they said "fuck" at least three times in the sentance.
- Fuck, fuck, fuck.....where to begin? The previous section makes the statement that humour is subjective, and I think that holds true here. Although many people here aim to make biting satire, quality humour I think we need to recognise that humour is a broad term and covers many different genres. Who's better, Lenny Bruce, Monty Python or Billy Crystal? Immature humour has its place, and I think we do aim to cover all the bases here. Having said that, a quick look through our Featured Content section will possibly demonstrate how most people view "whats funny" here. By all means try to improve articles, we possitively push for that, but don't judge the Hercules by the foot.... -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)

I know what you mean, and I understand that other people have different types of humour, and I'm not trying to imply that mine is the "true" humour or anything, but what I'm protesting against is like the article above called "Beans". It just doesn't seem like something that people would find funny.

If the stress in your life is more than you can cope with, get help right away.
The concept of mindfulness is becoming increasingly popular as a tool to help us deal with the bewildering stresses of modern day life. Although there are many definitions of this term, it's useful to think of mindfulness as total absorption in the task at hand.
In reading about an Olympic athlete, I came across a similar concept — "bookends." The athlete pictures a competition or big event between bookends. Everything else is outside of the bookends and is ignored so that the athlete can focus on what's important.
It can be challenging to eliminate those thorny, nagging issues that drive us to distraction. But one way of putting this into practice is to simply unplug from the grid for a period of time. Power down the phone, the tablet, the desktop and the laptop.
The sun will come up in the morning and the world will not disintegrate. At least this gives us a break from the barrage of demands and expectations. We need time to recharge our battery. We need time alone, or we simply will not go the distance.

I agree, using mindfulness is powerful! I do disagree with using the word fight. The energy around the word "fight" is once again stressful. When I use mindfulness to relax I don't won't to think I'm fighting something. An alternative; "Cultivate Mindfulness to Release Stress."
Great initiative. I would be happy to ippticraate in my field: General Dermatology, Aesthetic Dermatology and new technologies (laser, radiofrequency, cryolipolysis, fillers, Botox ), Research projects on these areas.I trained at Mayo 1989-1990 with Dr Larry Gibson and Dr Winkelman
To make yourself busy in a fruitful task that I think will be a good idea to consider to make sure you are managing well your stress.
Consider this
I find it helps me if I SAY OUT LOUD the
things I'm DOING FROM HABIT, that takes no concentration or I get frustrated -thinking,
"did I?" or maybe do it over again, or worse,
like a friend told me she put out 2 blood pressure pills, one for herself and one for her husband and she turned around and took
them both! Senior moments - but causes a lot stress! (I know, I'm 90!) :)
Just an addition to your comments, Dr. Amit Sood's book and workbook, "Train your Brain Engage your Heart Transform your Life" supports and explains to us further how to do this. His approach called "A Course in Attention & Interpretation Therapy (AIT) has been helpful to me. (ISBN 9781452898056)
Fortunately, I have heard him speak and look forward to take a course he offers at The Mayo Clinic, Rochester.
When I look back at the last ten years, while my husband was having open-heart surgery, the surgeon kept coming out and updating me on the good progress of the operation, and he was also concerned that I might unravel all of the fabric I was fringing for a shawl!
Keeping my hands and mind busy got me thru my husband's operation! The wonderful surgeon, Dr. Octavio Pajaro, was so happy for the results of the open-heart surgery as well as the shawl that I still wear. Funny, how we were both using our minds and hands, with our attention focused on the job to be completed!
Actually, this blog creates time for us to let go of our stress, and
dream on! Thanks to everyone who joins and supports all of us.
I totally agree with this approach. It works for me!

They wear a bit quickly though. Still good value.

Comments On Nov 21, 2013:Use these tires on the track with a GSXR-750.
Fantastic grip all around running mid yellow (intermediate) pace.
Haven't pushed the front yet, and the only time the rear has broken loose is with ham fisted throttle application.
Will get about 6 track days out of a set of tires before the sides are done. Lots of meat left in the middle - probably swap them to my street bike afterwards (live in a flat, boring area).
Neutral turn in and stable handling.
SOOO much better than that Michelin 2CT.

Comments On Aug 14, 2013:S20 is good, but Dunlop Q2 is better: faster turn-in and better feel/control braking and trail braking into turns. S20 feels softer. Wear rate for front was much lower than Q2

Comments On Aug 05, 2013:I've owned 2 sets of these tires, but sadly, have not been able to use up the full life of both sets. My first set was on my 09 CBR600RR, I put about 3k miles on that with 1 track day at (rode in C Group) before I sold the bike. The second was on my Ducati Monster with about 2k miles and 1 track day (C Group) as well before I sold it.
I have never had any issues with the tires. They provide great feedback as you turn into the corners and exit. They warm up pretty quick as well and after couple of corners on the track, they pretty much full warmed up. They held up very well on the track and on the street and provide good grip during the rain and cold. I've had friends run these tires on B group as well and they had nothing to complain about! Great set of tires if you love spirited riding as well the regular commuting.

Comments On Feb 24, 2013:Replaced some old Pilot Powers and can't be happier! Grip is good and heats up fast at the track! After a day at Fontana, the tires are in great shape. I don't push the front a lot so I'm guessing I'll get at least 8 more track days on the front.

Comments On Dec 16, 2012:This tire is awesome for the price. I expect to get at least 10,000 miles out of it despite it being so sticky. It has never washed out in the dry and gives a very stable ride.

Comments On Jul 11, 2012:I installed a new set of Bridgestones S20 on my BMW S1000rr. I couldn't be happier nice tire seem to heat up quick and has great grip on them. I hope to get at least 3500-4000 miles out of them. Nice step up from the Bt-16 and I would be confident to use these tire on the track in B/C group. These tire perform wont find anything this good for the price.

here's a shot of the ipad ristretto in black/wasabi.
Great picture, maverick, especially since we just received a request for pictures of people wearing the Ristretto in this thread. So can I state for "calibration" purposes that you're 5'8'' tall? (You wouldn't happen to have an easy link to a picture of you wearing a regular sized Ristretto, would you? I can find lots of photos of you carrying Cafe bags. Maybe we can point to one of you carrying the large cafe bag -- the Ristretto is just a little longer and narrower.)
I love the matching shirt! :)
Yes, for more details on the color matching, see this post from the "you know you're a loyal tom bihn customer when " thread. I suspect that the regular Ristretto in the next picture will be plum/wasabi -- also color coordinated with the shirt.
I have a question about the Ristretto, but it also applies to all of Bihn's smaller shoulder bags:
If you're wearing a Ristretto or Cafe Bag and using the shoulder strap only (no waist strap) and you're carrying a load in the bag, do you have to watch the bag when bending over? Does it shift and swing out of control easily? If it can, how do you stop it?
I have Large and Small Cafe bags and that has never been a problem if the bag is carried cross body.
They both stay close to the body, it is a matter of adjusting the strap to one's height.
When I am at the airport, doing all the stuff that need to be done to get on a plane with a snack and extra drink at hand, the Large Cafe bag is never in the way.
When I am pushing around a shopping cart for the monthly fill up of the pantry, the Small Cafe bag is not in the way, even thought it is on me all the time.
Of course, there too, I have to bend, reach up, get in stuck in the freezers doors or stretch out to reach things in the flat freezers.
I understand your concern perfectly because many of the bags I had to deal with before getting my wonderful Cafe Bags had that very same problem.
Some were in the way when I had to do something or others, securely not in a way, it was not easy to reach into them when it was time to catch the bus or some other mode of transportation.
Maverick has tons of pictures with the Cafe Bags in various situation, including little walks and big trips.
Those beautiful pictures show the versatility of the Cafe Bags much better than I could just by writing.
Let's say you're not an iPad or netbook owner. What other items can a Ristretto carry? How useful would it be as a camera or camcorder bag? I recall a different thread in which someone used a padded insert in a different Bihn bag to make a camera bag. I was just wondering if that would work with a Ristretto.
Also: is a Ristretto large enough to use as a lunch sack? Would you take it on a short hike?
How would you compare a Ristretto to Bihn's Cafe Bags?

Authorities say the blast was caused by a leak in a propane gas line on an outside wall of a duplex, which was leveled yesterday in the explosion.
The State Fire Marshal's Office says yesterday's fatal house explosion in Bath was caused by a leak in a propane line on the outside wall of the building destroyed in the blast.
Maine Department of Public Safety spokesman Steve McCausland says the gas line was connected to an propane tank outside the single-story duplex. The tank provided fuel to two gas heaters used to heat the building.
Fire investigators say the leak was in an outside wall of the house. They say fumes from the leak likely seeped into a crawl space under the building and were ignited by an unknown source.
The blast leveled the building, killing a woman in one of the units. Authorities say the leak occurred in the outside wall of the other unit, occupied by Kenneth Hooper. Officials say Hooper had left for work about a half-hour before the blast.
The identity of the female victim, whose body was found the rubble of the other unit and taken to the state medical examiner's office, has not yet been released.
