SuperDerivatives Expands Nordic Network of Its Multi-Asset Derivatives Front Office System and Execution Platform
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SuperDerivatives, the benchmark for derivatives, has been selected by a majority of the Nordic region's leading banks and blue-chip companies to strengthen and expand their capacity to manage their derivatives portfolios and execute derivatives on-line.
"The Nordic derivatives market has matured considerably with growth in demand from the buy- and sell-side for accurate derivatives systems and data to support their business activities, manage operational and market risk and execute on-line."
Nordea, Danske Bank, SEB, Handelsbanken, DnBNOR, Carnegie, FIH Erhevsbank, Glitnir, Landsbanki, A.P. Moller Maersk, Western Bulk Carriers and many more have become part of SuperDerivatives' network of global counterparties and derivatives execution.
These institutions use a range of SuperDerivatives' systems and solutions including real-time multi-asset pricing and analytics, risk management systems, portfolio revaluation services, and mark-to-market data portal for pricing derivatives.
Derivatives use across Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden has soared over the last decade, as the region's economy has undergone rapid growth. In 2007, Norway's economy alone grew 6%, outpacing any other Western nation.
Demand for simple and advanced commodity derivatives in particular has also increased, underpinned by the region's wealth of natural resources and prominent shipping industry. This in turn has led to a growth in demand from both buy- and sell-side for the tools to manage risk and hedge exposures associated with their portfolios and created a big demand for SuperDerivatives' commodity platform and commodity revaluation services, which offer a wide range of products.
SuperDerivatives provides real-time, independent pricing for the widest range of derivatives through its unique universal pricing model, covering currencies, commodities, interest rates, equities and credit derivatives. The combination of award-winning market data and derivatives modeling that truly reflects inter-bank market prices helps banks and corporates manage risk, generate revenue opportunities and independently revalue multi- and single-asset derivatives portfolios.
SuperDerivatives' execution platform – which is an integral part of its front office platform – enables all institutions to trade derivatives online, from simple vanilla options to complex multi-leg structures. The execution platform is used either internally between sales and traders or externally between institutions. Each institution can select its authorised counterparties in the network.
Amitai Ratzon, SuperDerivatives manager for the Nordic region, comments: "The Nordic derivatives market has matured considerably with growth in demand from the buy- and sell-side for accurate derivatives systems and data to support their business activities, manage operational and market risk and execute on-line.
"Third-party independent valuation for derivatives is now becoming best practice and counterparties are demanding transparent, independent derivatives pricing to help them manage risk and look for opportunities."
Thomas Skytte, Head of Middle Office & Risk Management, Maersk Oil Trading (part of A. P. Moller Maersk Group), said: "We needed a third party valuation service we could depend on to complement our own in-house systems. After reviewing the available valuation solutions, we came to the conclusion that the best product for the A. P. Moller Maersk Group was SuperDerivatives.
"We found SuperDerivatives' multi-asset front office platform to be unique. It provides a one-stop-shop solution, including all market data and modelling."

There's a possibility that people are wrong and the 52-year-old man from Redmond who set his hotel room on fire in Lynnwood really did see Satan living in there and had to act to stop him. But even so, everybody knows that, duh, Satan loves fire.
The fire damaged six rooms before it was put out.
A few hours earlier, the hotel owner had told the man that he had to move out. He'd been staying in the room for about a month and had repeatedly told employees that they were the "Anti-Christ" and "spawns of Satan."
Now the man is checked into the Snohomish County Jail, where we hear that the amenities and guest services are even more hellish.

Integrate Industrial Automation
Deploy an Ethernet and IP-based infrastructure for Industrial Automation Control Systems.
Design Guidance for Connected Factory and Plantwide Ethernet
The Converged Plantwide Ethernet (CPwE) Design and Implementation Guide provides an Ethernet and IP-networking based architecture for industrial Ethernet applications. Although CPwE applies to multiple industries, this Cisco Validated Design (CVD)guide focuses on the manufacturing industry. The CPwE specifically helps manufacturers seeking to integrate or upgrade their Industrial Automation and Control System (IACS) networks to standard Ethernet and IP networking technologies.
These manufacturers are interested in:
- Globalizing operations through IT integration with IACS.
- Reducing mean-time-to-repair and increasing overall equipment effectiveness
- Lowering the total cost of ownership of their current IACS network approach
- Mitigating risks by improving network uptime and equipment availability with superior security
- Reducing costs and improved asset utilization
This guide represents a collaborative development effort from Cisco Systems and Rockwell Automation. It is built on, and adds to, design guidelines from the Cisco Ethernet-to-the-Factory (EttF) solution and the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture.

Today at work I cut my tongue on a Tootsie-Pop and had a pizza napkin soaked with blood by the time it stopped bleeding.

wow, must have been a pretty big cut
I got hit in the leg by a softball while running today. Now I know I shouldn't be staring at all the cute softball players while I'm running, I should be watching the ball...
When i was in about 7th grade my friend noticed his chain tension was loose, so he put his thumb on it while riding and proceded to pedal his thumb part way throngh his sprocket. It was bloody and funny at the same time. On another note around the same age I was running and a quarter inch and 5 inch long stick got stuck in my shoe, some how it ended up stabbing me, I ripped it out and it bleed like hell for an hour. For days I could not walk at all, I ended up on cruches(spelling?). A week later I went to the doctor and they gave me x-rays, he said there was nothing in ther but the wound puntured into my caff(spelling?) muscle and I wouldnt be able to walk for a while. So I treated it with hydrogen peroxide a few times a day until two good size piece of wood ended up working its way out of my leg. It was crazy to see that, an more crazy to pull it out. I still have a bad scar, its like an indendation in my leg. Crazy situation.
I fell over the handle bars on my quad when I tryed to do a stoppie to impress a really hot girl.
I zipped up my pants really quick after going to the bathroom and my.....junk got caught in the zipper.

I rode through some manure on the trail, there was just no way to avoid it. It was cold out and there was still ice on the trail in places. It was about a mile until I got back to my van. I wanted the manure cleaned off my wheels before I put it in the van. I decided to ride through some slushy ice to clean my wheels off. BIG MISTAKE. About half way through the slush I hit a large chunk of ice. The next thing I know my bent is going sideways and I'm starting to fall over. I put out my left leg to stop that from happening. My leg starts to be pulled under me. I knew I could be hurt real bad from this, so I let myself fall.
I ripped a 2 x 3 chunk of skin off my left knee that just pored blood out of it. I put my handkerchief over it for a while until the bleeding slowed down. That happened on March 28, my first ride of this year. My knee finally heeled up completely about 10 days ago. I've just been able to kneel on that knee since a couple of days ago.

I think my most stupid injury, ableit minor, really epitiomizes 'stoopid'.
As winter was setting on, the plant manager asked a couple of us to hang sheet plastic over the drafty, antique windows of the office in the brownstone factory in which I worked. I opened up a stapler, positioned the plastic and set the stapler in place.... upside down. When I went to set the staple in the window frame, big suprise as the staple drove in to the fleshy part of my palm!
I have a 2" scar on the outside of my right knee from my computer.
I used to have a full-tower computer. It sat on the floor, under the desk, next to my chair. I had it configured to eject the CD tray when it finished playing an audio CD. I was working on the computer one day, and the CD finished, so the tray ejected. The quiet was a nice change, so I didn't remove the CD and close the tray. About 20 minutes later, the phone rang, and I turned to go answer it. When I pivoted in the chair, my knee scraped across the CD-ROM tray, gouging my knee.

I scratched the inside of my elbow with my pen onetime...but i didn't realize the cap was off. One of my friends looked over and said "dude, your arm is bleeding". I still have the scar.
I was jumping off the swings at my former high school one day, and when I jumped off one time I got a lot of air. I landed on my toes with the back of my feet up...and one of them connected with my crotch. WORST THING EVER.

One more. I was running along a wall, and didn't notice that it dropped off at the end. So I kept running, stepped as if the wall were still at the same height, and fell down really, really hard. I have a scar right above my foot on the front of my calf and on my right knee because of it.

I was showing my little sister how dangerous razor blades are, cutting up a styrofoam cup. I pushed too hard, and sunk the blade into my right hand. You could see the tendon according to the doctor. First time I needed stitches - 9 of them. You can still count the holes from the stitches on the scar, and I was maybe 12 when that happened...
Dumbest injury - I used to make pasta in an Italian restaurant (a national chain). I was just finishing up a batch and going to clean out the pasta machine. What I should've done is turned the thing off and waited for the blades to stop moving. Instead I opened the lid, which kills the power to the pasta maker, and stuck my hand inside. The blades weren't sharp or anything, but the motor that turned them was pretty powerful.
Anyway, the blades hadn't quite stopped. One of them sunk into my hand, and blood started flowing into the pasta maker... right in front of a group of older ladies who were more startled than I was.
I got a free ride to the hospital and four stitches. They had to throw that batch of pasta away. I didn't work there much longer.
This happened to a chef I worked for; the power went out, so she decided to clean the machine. She forgot to turn it off, and when the power came back, the machine turned on and her arm got caught in the blades. It was dragged through and crushed, but apparently her elbow was too big to fit through. Somehow, she pulled her arm back through and her husband took her to the hospital. They managed to surgically patch the bones back together (I have no idea how; the x-rays looked like a jigsaw puzzle), and several months later she could lift a knife (she couldn't cut with it, but just lifting it was a big step). Seems like she was back to normal within about a year, her arm was really weak but she had 70-80% functionality back.Originally Posted by rjkresse
Wow... I got lucky.
I might just be the king of stupid scars:
1) Basketweaving. Cutting through a reed sliced open the inside of my left ankle. Divot scar.
2) Pool cleaning. While cleaning the neigbors pool managed to step directly into the bug trap, taking out about an inch of skin. Gnarly divot scar
3) Being a baby. When i was less than 3 days old the wrapping fell off of my hand and i scratched my right cheek with my fingernail. Divot 'dueling' scar
4) Cat scratch. New kitten sleeping on my stomach, scared by my brother. 4" gash in my stomach above where an appendix scar would be. Line scar.
5) Door. Not once, but twice i opened a door with my left hand that had a nail sticking out of the wall just enough to gouge my knuckle. Line scar.
All of my would be cool scars either didn't scar, or are hidden. Like when i split open my eyebrow. That would be a cool scar, but i have eyebrows like Michael Dukakis. 9 chipped teeth from various sports, not particularly visible. A couple of those are winners though, like doing a face plant trying a 2 sommersault flip off of a 1 meter diving board...

When I was in grade school our class was making a terrarium (sp?) and I was selected to break up pieces of charcoal for the bottom. I decided the best way was to jump up and down on the charcoal. What I didn't realize was a metal casement window was left open right where I was jumping. My head hit the corner of the window. I walked back into the classroom holding out a bloody hand, that had been over the gash on my head, to the teacher. She thought I was pulling a prank...then she freaked out. Many stiches later I was okay.
I was running with a bottle of beer in college, slipped and it broke in my hand. 5 stitches later... My brother ironically enough has had stitches on one occasion like myself and his were from a bottle of beer. Yes, we are both morons.

I was riding and my bar tape was unraveling. The flap flap flapping in the wind was really getting on my nerves, so I grasped the loose tape and yanked to try to pull it off. My handlebar responded to the force input by turning abruptly to the left. The principle of countersteer was forcefully demonstrated when bike and body dumped to the right. Skin, flesh, and lycra donated to the county road surface . This was in the mid 80s sometime.

I wanted to use a half pipe, but they had a pipe laying at the bottom of it. So I decided to go down anyway. It was my first time ever using a half pipe, and I was going to have to jump something at the bottom.
It didn't work out.
When I was younger I was riding my Huffy around with my friends. We used to see how high we could pop wheelies. Well, I won. I popped one so high my bike flipped over and i landed on my back. A lot of the top layer of my skin came off my right elbow.

Well, once I got into the bars just a little too hard and the back tire got way lite... lite enough to faceplant me on the asphalt.
Adding insult to injury, the tip of the banana seat followed through and slammed in to my coxyx (tailbone)! I couldn't sit comfortably for about a week and a half.
I flipped over the handlebars when I was 15 or so, when I biked straighton into a full sized curb at speed(for no particular reason). Nearly broke my nose (blood gushing), minor facial abrasions (no scars-thankfully), broken front tooth. I still have the same fake tooth bond, my dentist said it would last 10 years-its lasted 20. That bike, which I had stripped+repainted niceley, went to the local recycle area.
For some odd reason I stopped biking for about 10 years after that...did a goodly bit of skateboarding-then got my license.

Last week, five thousand blackbirds mysteriously died in Arkansas. A few days later, more massive bird die-offs occurred in other states. The massive fish kills occurred in several states. The mystery has not escaped the eye of the nations civil rights
extortionists groups. Several leading voices in the civil rights movement have expressed concern over possible racist causes in the massive kills.
Revrum Al Sharpton said at a news conference:
We are very suspicious and concerned at the massive number of deaths of blackbirds. What we find appalling is that there were no whitebirds that died. Not one cracka bird! And not one yellow tweety Asian bird either! It is time the rights of blackbirds are defended from whatever racist or group of racists killed those birds!
Personally, I am very suspicious of them tea party teabaggers. What symbol do teabaggers use at their rallies? That snakey flag. And what do a snake eat? That's right! Birds. In this case, blackbirds! I rest my case!
The NAACP also weighed in on the curious incidents. Spokesperson Shantasha Jackson said:
We are putting our forces into place to protest this mysterious lynchings of blackbirds! The NAACP is working with our brothers and sisters in the NAABB…the National Association for the Advancement of Black Birds…to uncover the racists responsible for these blackbird deaths and immediately start seeking welfare programs and reparations for these birds that have long suffered the racism of America.
We have also spoken with our friends at the NAABSB…the National Association for the Advancement of Black Sea Bass to investigate the mysterious numbers of black sea bass that have recently been killed. Obviously, racists are behind this as no other races of fish were killed! No white perch or tuna, no German brown trout! Just thousands of black sea bass and one black marlin who got lost! Coincidence? I think not! We believe the radical racist Great White Sharks might be behind this!
Revrum Sharpton is in the process of assembling his team of professional protesters to march on the lakes of Arkansas to protest the killings of blackbirds and black sea bass. Revrum Sharpton said this concerning the upcoming marches:
We not sure if any sea bass are in Arkansas but we know there are lots of blackbirds and other black animals and insects. We are standing up for the rights of our brothers in the forest, lakes and seas who feel firsthand the effects of racism in America!
Sharpton also is preparing to file suit against the US Dept. of the Interior to compensate African Americans for the loss of the blackbirds.

Broken Bars on Drawbridge Are Blamed in Amtrak Crash
By ROBERT D. McFADDEN
Published: November 25, 1996
Federal investigators said last night that an Amtrak train derailed on a swing bridge in New Jersey on Saturday because a rupture of two small plates left two connecting rails piggybacked, one atop another, instead of end to end.
The preliminary conclusions raised the possibility that across the nation, more than 100 railroad swing bridges -- those that swivel open at river crossings to allow boat traffic to pass -- might have problems similar to those that led to the accident.
In a dramatic news conference at the Gateway Hilton in Newark, officials of the National Transportation Safety Board indicated they had found crucial evidence on the second day of their investigation that appeared to explain not only the cause of the derailment, but also why there had been no red signals that might have halted the train and prevented the wreck.
They said that while the displaced rails resembled a small upward ramp, with the end of one five inches above the other, the rails were still touching so that electrical contact was not broken and a red signal that would have halted the oncoming train was never posted.
The train, rushing toward New York at 60 miles an hour with 108 people aboard, sped onto the Hackensack River bridge and, as its wheels went up the tiny ramp, flew into the air out of control. It continued across the 100-foot span, its wheels digging ruts in the railroad ties.
Beyond the bridge, the train's twin locomotives and four cars carrying scores of passengers plunged down a 30-foot embankment, coming to rest in marshland.
In disclosing the possibility of similar conditions elsewhere, transportation officials said they would meet in Washington today to dispatch inspection crews to the more than 100 swing bridges nationwide in an effort to learn the dimensions of the problem.
''We want to see if the cracking of sidebars is unique to this type of bridge, or if it's just normal wear and tear,'' said Patrick Sullivan, the investigator in charge of the accident for the safety board. ''We are going to start inspecting all the other bridges around here and see if we come up with any other problems.''
In the Northeast, in addition to Amtrak's lines, that type of swing bridge is found on lines run by New Jersey Transit and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, Boston's transit agency.
Investigators said that an examination of the Portal Bridge, where the derailment occurred, showed that the two so-called sidebars, which hold the rails together end to end, were broken. They said that at least 3 of the remaining 14 sidebars on the bridge were cracked in a manner similar to the broken ones.
It was unclear last night whether the other cracked plates were replaced as part of the weekend operations to remove wreckage and repair hundreds of feet of mangled trackage. But Amtrak and New Jersey Transit officials said that normal schedules would resume today. On a normal weekday, about 300 trains cross the bridge, which is the main line of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor and a main route of New Jersey Transit commuter trains.
Mr. Sullivan and Mark Garcia, the safety board's eastern regional director, said at the news conference that the sequence of events that led to the wreck apparently began about 4 A.M. Saturday, when the bridge operator opened the bridge to let a tug and barge pass.
The operator reported a problem opening the bridge. At either end of the bridge are miter rails, with tapered ends that mate with other tapered rails at a point where the bridge and land tracks meet. The miter rail is 10 feet long, and is fixed atop the bridge to ordinary rails known as running rails.
The sidebar plates connect the miter rails to the running rails, and are bolted to them on either side. It was a pair of these sidebars on the left rail of the northbound tracks that broke, leading to the derailment, Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Garcia said.
To turn the bridge, the entire rotating structure, including its rails, must be lifted 15 inches so that the miter rails may clear the landside rails, Mr. Garcia noted. ''It appears now that the sidebars broke when the bridge operator raised the bridge,'' Mr. Garcia said. After the tug and barge passed and the operator swung the bridge back into place, the now misaligned miter rail was lowered onto the running rail, he said, leaving the jagged piggyback instead of the smooth end-to-end configuration.
''The heel of the miter rail, which was supposed to be level with the running rail, was displaced by approximately five inches,'' Mr. Sullivan said. The sidebars, he noted, are steel, one and three-quarters of an inch thick, and held to the rails they connect by bolts.
But the passage of about 300 trains a day over the bridge, and the bridge's daily movements, have inevitably placed great stress on the plates since they were installed with the miter rails in 1992, Mr. Garcia said. He and Mr. Sullivan said that metallurgists would be called in to analyze all the sidebars on the bridge.
Compounding the problem, they said, was the fact that the rails were indeed in contact with one another, though not properly aligned, so that sensors that would have detected the problem and put up red signals to stop the onrushing train were not activated.
Mr. Garcia said the sidebars on the Portal Bridge were visually inspected twice a week, ''but you might not be able to see this kind of crack until you raise the bridge.''
Mr. Sullivan said that investigators had estimated the cost of the wreck at about $3 million -- $1.6 million in damage to the twin locomotives and $1.37 million in damage to the 12 following cars.

The post CelebrateOutreach: Community Forum about Living Wages appeared first on the REFUGE.]]>
You are cordially invited to attend Celebrate Outreach's Community Forum to be held on Saturday, March 21st, from 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 noon, at Trinity Lutheran Church, 401 Fifth Street North (across from the Coliseum), Third Floor, St. Petersburg. The topic will be "Florida Fight for 15: The Living Wage Struggle of Fast Food Workers," and the special guest presenter will be Rev. Bruce Wright, Director of The Refuge.
Underemployment, which includes receiving wages that are too low and/or not consistently working enough hours each week, is one of the primary causes of homelessness indicated by persons answering the annual homeless survey in January. With the average rent of an apartment in Florida costing $769 per month, which is 60% of the monthly income of a person making the current minimum wage full-time, it is readily apparent why living wages are needed. How can living wages keep families housed? How can you and your organization or congregation help?
The public is invited to attend this Community Forum. This presentation and discussion will be especially beneficial to homeless service providers, social workers, clergy, police officers, teachers, and others who work directly with this segment of our community.
The event is free, and refreshments will be provided. There is free off-street parking, and the facility is handicap accessible. Enter the building through the double glass doors adjacent to the parking lot, and take the elevator to the third floor. Seating is limited, so interested persons are encouraged to pre-register by sending an email to concretesolutions@
Celebrate Outreach, Inc. ( CO!) is a partnership of St. Petersburg-area faith-based congregations and individuals dedicated to preventing and ending homelessness in the greater St. Petersburg area (Pinellas County) through social justice, advocacy, community education and direct service.

The post Trans Pacific Partnership and it's impact on the poor appeared first on the REFUGE.]]>
June 19, 2013
Rev. Bruce Wright, President's Commission on Ending Homelessness
The much touted, at least by multinational corporations and some governments, Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement, has grave consequences for the so-called poor of the world, including those in the United States. This agreement, clouded in secrecy, has been characterized as something akin to "NAFTA on steroids!" But, what exactly does it mean for the poor and working class of the United States?
Recent statistics released by the Census Bureau of the Federal Government indicate that half of the United States population is now living at or below the poverty line. This is a very serious and startling statement. At no time in the history of the United States has this been true. Add to that the fact that the gap between the rich and poor is also the widest in U.S. history, and that makes this one of the most serious situations of poverty in the so-called "developed nations".
Compounding this serious situation is growing homelessness. We have the highest rate of homelessness or people without homes since the Depression. Our rate of homelessness is the highest in the "developed" world and even higher than in some "developing" nations. In my state, Florida, we have the 2nd highest rate of homelessness in the U.S.. In the Tampa Bay area, where I live, we have 25,000 homeless individuals and families. This is the highest rate per capita in the country! Florida also ranks among the highest in real unemployment and foreclosures, as well as in low wages.
So what has all this got to do with the TPP? The so-called Trans-Pacific 'Partnership' is a trade agreement being brokered by twelve Asian and Pacific Nations. The intent is to remove all 'trade barriers' between nations so that multinational corporations can move goods, services, and 'commodities' between countries more easily. Major multinational corporations such as big drug companies, WalMart, Nike, Chevron, and others support the TPP because these 'trade barriers' prevent them from making the highest profit possible on their goods and services.
Trade barriers include environmental safeguards, fair labor practices, inexpensive and generic drugs, safety regulations, indigenous sovereignty, national borders, regulations on GMO's, and input from the public. If the TPP were passed, it would deeply impact the poor of the United States and the world.
The TPP's implications on the poor and working class of the United States are grave and serious. From information gathered thus far it is known that the TPP would drive down wages even further, would further eliminate safety regulations and would ship more jobs overseas, including those in the service industry which employs many working-class and poor people in electronically-driven and telephone-oriented work. The TPP would also make it difficult to get necessary medications at affordable prices. Particularly, it would diminish significantly the use of generic drugs, which are the most affordable to those with low incomes.
The TPP would make foreign investment in domestic real estate easier which would drive prices up, making affordable housing more difficult to find. In the end, the result of all of this would be a continued and potentially dramatic increase in poverty, unemployment, and homelessness due to decreasing wages, further joblessness, and increased health costs. This may not only be true domestically, but internationally as well. The TPP would accelerate the 'race to the bottom!'
With these very serious issues in mind, we must resist passage of the TPP at all levels! We must be involved in campaigns of resistance! We must inform each other and the general public of the dangers of this agreement. And we must be willing to resist with our voice and actions, including disruption and direct action.
As a member of the Green Shadow Cabinet, I, as with the rest of the cabinet, am committed to a campaign of resistance. To allow the TPP to pass would strengthen the greed and avarice of multinational corporations and wealthy elites. It opens the doors to a TransAtlantic Trade agreement of the same nature.
We must and can resist this evil! We can and will resist this horrific trade agreement.
~ Rev. Bruce Wright serves as chair of the President's Commission on Ending Homelessness in the General Welfare Branch of the Green Shadow Cabinet. This statement is one of over a dozen issued in support of the Green Shadow Cabinet's June 17th call for action against the TPP.

The post Poor People's Campaign Update appeared first on the REFUGE.]]>
Angel and his family have lived and taken care of their home on the 3200 block of Shelbourne Street for the last 11 years–and they are now threatened with eviction. Since moving into the house, Angel has fixed the place up–painting it and installing plumbing and electricity. He has also kicked drug crews out of the house and was shot in one of those confrontations. He has also been a contributing member of the community serving as a block captain. The original owner of the house who gave permission for Angel to live there recently passed away, and another landowner is laying claim to the property–threatening Angel with eviction unless he can pay her $13,000. Angel is willing to pay as much as he can, but cannot afford that pricetag.
The Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign (PPEHRC) is supporting Angel at his request, mobilizing community resources in an effort to both raise $13,000 and help him and his family resist eviction if that goal is not met. Angel has been the caretaker of his home and a valuable asset to his community, and PPEHRC is willing to do everything in its power to ensure that Angel and his family stay in the home that is rightfully theirs.

This winter, I'll be training through the "winter" in SoCal. Believe it or not, we do get temps down in the low 30's and some cold rain to boot. What I was wondering is, what do you guys wear to train in temps down in the 30's and in the pouring rain? Price is of secondary consideration to warmth and waterproof-ness.
These are from head to toe (chest/legs is from outer to inner):
Rain Setup:
Cycling Cap
Rain Jacket (Showers Pass Elite 2.0)
Standard Cycling Jacket (Mine is a Capo)
Long/Short Sleve Jersey
Long Sleve Base Layer
Gloves (Capo Wind Glove)
Rain Pants (I was thinking either Showers Pass Roadie or eVent Pants)
Bibs/Bib Tights
Booties (Not sure on brand/model yet)
Winter Socks
The pieces I'm most interested in criticism regarding are the rain jacket (showers pass elite 2.0), the gloves (Capo Wind Glove, will it be enough for heavy rain?; if not, what gloves are good), Rain Pants (Showers Pass eVent?), and Booties.
Does my layering seem ok?
Keep in mind that I am a 110 lb, 3% body fat, climber. I get cold, really easily, and I'll be up high this winter.

The three priciest pieces of a family vacation are food, lodging
and transportation. If you can save on those, you can make a family
vacation that much more affordable.
Getting there
All of the airline cutbacks have made flying an incredibly
expensive way to travel. While the lack of winter weather has meant
fewer flight delays out of O'Hare this year, it's rare to find an
empty seat on a plane these days, so if you want the baby to be
able to travel safely in a car seat, you'll be paying for everyone
to fly.
The only way to really save money is to drive. Sure, gas prices
are high, but if your family vacation is somewhere within an
eight-hour drive of Chicago, it makes sense to drive. Read this for
tips on deciding whether it's cheaper to
fly or drive on a family vacation.
Staying there
Hotels are the default idea for most families on an overnight
trip. But if you're traveling with kids,
consider some alternatives: rent a condo, do a house swap or mooch
off of the relatives.
Any of those options will give you more room, maybe even a
separate bedroom with a door that locks so the adults can have
their own fun while the kids blissfully watch Cartoon Network in
the other room.
Mooching off the relatives doesn't have to mean spending time
with crazy Aunt Sarah. Just be clear when you ask if it's OK for
you and the brood to visit if you want to spend time with Aunt
Sarah or just commune with her spare bedroom. If you want her to
serve as your hotel, tell her you have a full schedule of
activities already planned and really just need a place to say for
the night. Then be sure to include her in at least a few family
activities. If you don't think she'll go for that, reconsider the
cost of the hotel room.
Eating there
If you have rented a condo or are staying in a house, whether
it's one owned by Aunt Sarah or one you swapped with another
family, saving on food costs is easy. Since you'll have a kitchen
and a car (you drove to save money, remember?) stop at a grocery
and stock up on breakfast and lunch staples before you check
If you're in a rented condo, you'll need to bring in just about
everything. But if you're in a house swap or staying with a
relative, you'll save even more because the kitchen likely comes
stocked with ketchup and mayo. You just need to supply the bread
and lunchmeat.
If you save on transportation, lodging and food, your next
biggest cost will be paying for all the fun you have. If you're
really creative, even that can be cheap. There are free
things to do with kids in all 50 states.

RC bomb
this wiki
The radio controlled bomb is a piece of equipment exclusive to Condition Zero: Deleted Scenes
It is a device used to blow up enemy equipment as well as obstacles. As many as 5 RC bombs can be carried at once. It can only be used in Radio controlled bomb zones.
It is possible to plant multiple RC bombs at a single time. The player can click the right mouse button by default, which will make the character holster his controller and prepare another bomb. Most of the time however, the player only needs to plant one bomb at a time. (The only time where the player can plant 2 RC bomb at the same time is in Rise Hard, where the player can plant 2 RC bomb on a M2 Browning Machine Gun)
Like many explosives, the RC bomb can harm the player as well as NPCs. Therefore, the player and his allies/hostages should be at a safe distance before detonating the bomb. Despite being an explosive weapon, it has inferior damage compared to most other explosive weaponry and has a delay before it explodes. As such, it is not advised to use them as traps for enemies.
Once the player reaches a Radio controlled bomb zone, the RC bomb icon will appear. Select the RC Bombs, place a bomb on the target (primary fire), take cover, and press the primary fire key again. The bomb will detonate and the target will blow up.
Lost CauseEdit
There are several points in the compound area that the player needs to use the RC bombs to clear pathways.
Secret WarEdit
An RC bomb was used by Yuri of the Russian Spetsnaz squad to open an unresponsive door. When he is killed later on in the mission, the player is ordered by the Commander to retrieve his equipment.
On the way to the commander, there's a blast door that's locked and require the RC Bomb to detonate it in order to open the door that lead to the control room and bottom of the rockt. Upon meeting the commander, the player must plant an RC bomb on the missile fuselage and then give the detonator to the commander (by pressing E on commander).
Drug LabEdit
5 RC Bombs are used in this mission to destroy 5 drug-processing machines. It's only mission where all 5 RC Bombs are used.
Rise HardEdit
RC Bombs are used to destroy obstacles and Mounted Machine Guns to allow reinforcements to arrive.
- The game file name for this item is rcontrolbomb.
- The concept of the RC bomb could have been reused from the Satchel Charge in Half-Life.
- The bomb model is reused in Counter-Strike Online in several operations. However, it is not used the same way as in Deleted Scenes. The user needs to press [E] to the bomb and wait for it to detonate.

Human life so frequently depends upon the tying of a ligature, the use of one more suture, the perfection of an operation in every minute detail, that the subject of peritoneal drainage, which is, perhaps. the most vital of all questions connected with the always grave procedure of opening the peritoneum, should never become too trite to demand careful consideration, even though much has already been written on this subject, and every phase of the question thoroughly discussed.
Viewing my failures retrospectively, I am forced to the confession that no one feature of my work has given so much cause for regret as that of insufficient drainage.
It is idle to say that drainage is needed only when the work has been carelessly done. However perfect the technique may be, it is still a fact known to every operator, that there are cases whose recovery depends entirely on the drainage

This part works with the following brands: Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Kenmore, Tappan & White-Westinghouse.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
used a screwdriver pushed the old ones out put the new in. the video instructions were great.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
first i took out burners then i took out the screws of the termnal block bracket. i then raised the lid on the stoveand clipped the wires on all 4 of the terminal block kits.i then slipped the shrink wrap on wires and used the wire nuts to connect wires together then heated the shrink wrap. I then put screws back in terminal block brackets. I then put the burners on while looking under lid so i would know they were making good connections as this is a bad design from factory. if you pull out burners to clean them and they are not put back in right you dont have a good connection and that causes the terminal blocks to get hot and melt. thats what happened in my case. As far as the drawer glides they just snap into place
Frst I slid the drawer out.I then pryed the broken drawer glides off with a flat blade screwdriver. The new drawer glides then just snap into place,then reinstall the drawer and check for smooth operation.
The old glides were broken off so I didn't know I needed these glides until I saw the parts section of the Manuel. When they arrived I snapped them in with no effort at all.P.S. The shipping is fantastic here......i ordered on Monday received them on Tuesday. Now that's shipping:>)
The two back door glides were missing and broken (one of each), and needed to be replaced. Finding the parts online was MUCH easier than I expected,and the repair was remarkably simple. Parts snapped into place, the drawer had to be lined up, and it slid right into place. Very easy!

That's why I'm talking about making new skins instead of using my old bad quality stuff.
Artist, musician, designer, singer, etc.
That's why I'm talking about making new skins instead of using my old bad quality stuff.
ProfKiller336 just has plenty of my skins for RU characters (10 or more, I don't remember exactly)
I don't think he has any real existing russian camos which spetsnaz uses in real life.
Here is some of my examples:
Do you need a new camo scheme for him?
The best way to represent Russian special forces - is to add the wool hat (not ushanka) or the bandana.
(P.S. Balaclavas are the part of uniform of the police spetsnaz in Russia, the best way - to use heads of rebels from BF2SF)
English localization will be ready after our dev-team take some break :) If anyone interested in any kind of cooperation with AMS studio - I'm waiting for your private message :)
I'll ask the man who made those screenshots then tell you in pm, ok?
Now it's a full-scale modification, not just an addon :)
2.0 Released!
Soviet Army side will only be available for OPFOR. Maybe we will fix it in next patches.
Thanks! There will be some missions included in MSA 2.0, all weapons you can see on screenshots are available in different weapons packs (all of them are included).
This is about the Red Army of modern days, this mod adds the Soviet Army faction to the game, that's why you can choose the enemy yourself
На мой взгляд просто ох#ительно!
Класная вещь, парни! Me gusta!
That's sad, and Andrew completed some resistance characters for HL3 if I understood him correctly. So if you need something - PM me
It's just AK-74 (AK-74 Plum) with plastic elements. AK-74M is different.
Well, guys, I see you made a great progress :)
P.S. Andrew just finished his another project for valve and recieved a lot of bucks for that. He's missing you, guys :) But I can help you with models again (this is Ilya BTW)
I agree xD
It's Afganka - soviet/russian desert camo (just light khaki).
What kind of digital/"standard" camo pattern do you mean?
If you need Twinke's AK-74M (not just AK-74) - PM me
Twinke Masta's AK-74
Thank you =)
Good =) But what about some different camo pattern? I think native russian camouflages would fit better :-) (PM me if you need them, I'll help you)
Thank you, Josh =)
Спасибо =)

Why do I read the MB?
Not all those who wAnder are lost
I agree. I think its weird that people have enough money to pay their bills UNLESS they pay tithing. Others tell them to ask the Bishop for help. So where is your tithing actually going? Back to yourself. Doesnt make sense. The OP of that thread had enough money to survive except if she paid tithing. So if she pays $200 to tithing instead of gas and food and then turns around and tells the Bishop she needs to borrow $200, thats just crazy to me. But its the "blessings" you get. Funny that I dont pay tithing to any church and I still receive "blessings" everyday. Hmm
Up here in the cold, thin air, I finally can breathe. I know I left A life behind, but Im too relieved to grieve.
Not all those who wAnder are lost
I don't understand how some can't see the concept of paying after your fixed and essential items are paid. Everyone has different fixed expenses, different mortgage payments/rent. But then again people have different income. So they would pay a different amount in tithing.
Ahhhhhh. People.
Mom to 4 great kids.
He's concluded that people shouldn't pay tithing when they're in debt, too. His parents' finances are an awful mess. His dad wanted to stop paying tithing so they could get out of the hole. His mom disagreed because of the fearmongering about "robbing God." They kept paying. They're still in an awful mess.
Mama of five inQuisitive dds and one toddler ds.
No circ for our little man: The Elephant in the Hospital.
You know Laura, I never even thought about people who are in debt not paying.... if you're in debt, you don't *actually* have a surplus, you have a deficit. Interesting.
I think its pretty sick how the church has twisted the concept of tithing. Its a great principle- give 10% of whatever you have left to help those who don't have. IMO, that really is a Christian, humanitarian idea. However, the "pay 10% of your gross income and come in for a reconing at the end of the year or else you're unworthy to be close to god" is rather disgusting if you ask me.
"Penetrating so many secrets, we cease to believe in the unknowable. Yet there it sits nevertheless, calmly licking its chops." - H.L. Mencken
The way the LDS Church makes it so that you have to pay 10% to tithe, then if you tithe, you get a temple recommend, then if you go to the temple, you can be sealed, if you get sealed, you can go to the Celestial Kingdom, if you've done everything else right is horrible. So basically you're paying for your own salvation.
Nothing to see here... move along...
Not all those who wAnder are lost
That is hypocritical, and the LDS Church has been slamming other churches since the beginning. Ridiculous!
Nothing to see here... move along...
I don't know why I read the MB either because it always makes me sad and/or mad, but it is a great reminder to why I left and why I will never return. And count me as another one who is SO thankful I got my DD out as a child so she will never learn any of that crap.
Pretty sure I've posted this before, but every year when they do the budgets, they ask people to sign up for 'planned giving'. Basically it's just a "promise" of sorts to say that you'll contribute X amount each week/month/year so they can plan the budget. The priest gets up and, well, asks for money lol, but he also says that he doesn't want money you don't have to give. I have never heard a Mormon bishop say that, just the arbitrary 10% regardless of what else is going on in your life.

I know there are specific groups but I thought I would check in with other Sept 08 Moms & see who else has been trying to get back into shape.
It has been 6 weeks now & I am ready to get back into a regular routine for working out. I used to be a big hiker but it's hard to leave the house to do so without DD so now I am looking for routines to do at home.
Just did pilates a few minutes ago and I am realizing how weak my abdominal muscles are!
Anyone else working out? What kind of workouts are you doing?

I heard today, after it had already started and I was unavailable to watch, that Oprah served up military families on a platter. I also heard that it was atypical in that it didn't show glitzed surprise reunions that make the war-stupid public feel better about themselves. It didn't fart glitter and fairy duster. It talked about some of the real issues of the military family life. And it was a call to Americans to support the troops beyond buying a ridiculous yellow ribbon magnet you can stick to the ass of your car and forget about. I've heard it didn't exploit, either, as certain commercials like to do (and who the fuck has that kind of bandwidth on a carrier, for fuck's sake?!).
So while I'm glad to hear that Oprah's huge following got wind that this isn't all proud tears and tearful reunions with no stress or strain twixt each, I'm not grooving on the situation, either. After all, we heard from Ms. Obama before the election that milfams were her pet project. And yet what have we seen? Not much. As usual, with every elected official I've been alive to witness, it's a lot of lip service and not much else. There are programs, like MyCAA, but there are also clusterfucks. Like, um, MyCAA.
And though we've been at [wiggledy fingers] war for almost a decade, the American public is as ignorant - and I'd go so far as to paint them with the willful ignorance that is so abundant on the far right, which is strange since I see it amongst those on the far left, too, where milfam issues are concerned - as it's always been.
So I did a little bit of digging. I watched one of the clips and was heartened to see that about two minutes were dedicated to the hardships of the typical Army family. That's cool, though I hope to gods they dug deeper outside of the clip and really expounded on those issues and how they're the same and different among the different services. I also found a link to serve.gov, which looks like a great idea. I'm not sure, again, what it's about or how much traffic the site is generating now, but every little step, right? And as LAW said to me today, if the show means one military family gets the help they need, then it's a good show. Absolutely.
I guess I'm just tired of having smoke blown up my ass. It kinda chafes after a while.
One of my faves among the service sites is United Through Reading. How awesome is that? Because books ROCK, and stories are such a hard-coded way for us to bond together as people. I love this. Love it! I did think there was one funny, though not because of the service. Rather because of certain dickwads who like to dismiss Those Who Do Not Agree as traitors and most certainly not patriots. Little Patriots Embraced helps milbrats get through deployments. By far, I think this is one of the best ideas ever. They so need help. All of them.
The thing that made me giggle, though, is the perverse image I had of one of those fucktard neo-cons screeching about a five-year-old whose parents are liberals, so clearly that kid is genetically fucked as far as patriotism goes. But wait! That's science, right? And science needs to take a back seat to GAWD because GAWD throws science at us in order to test our faith. Right? So genetics are just balderdash. Like electrons that drive the interwebz. All balderdash. (/neocon wankfest)
Anyway, let's hope that we see real efforts by civilians to serve the milfams and milspouses that need help and yet bend over for the sake of the military on a regular schedule. I'm serious about the chafing. It's getting to be more than a nuisance.
I'm Not the Easter Bunny Either

Update on ChristopherChristopher lives in the town of Masindi-Uganda. He sells general merchandise like soap, sugar, juice, posho, rice and salt in a rural area plus has a monthly salary as supplementary income. Christopher started his business so as to cater to the family needs. He hopes to educate his children to attain degrees. However, he faces a challenge of inadequate capital and price fluctuations. Christopher is requesting a loan to buy soap, sugar, juice, posho, rice and salt to sell.
Previous Loan DetailsChristopher, age 30, operates a retail shop where he sells general merchandise. He has been in this business since last year and it allows him to supplement the small salary he earns as a teacher. He lives with his wife and their three children in Masindi, Uganda. As the good father that he i... More from Christopher's previous loan »
Additional Information
Important InformationThis loan provides farmers and low-income entrepreneurs from underserved rural areas with access to financial services. By supporting this loan, you allow more farmers and rural entrepreneurs to access capital.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Poultry producers are warning that the Department of Agriculture, Forestry & Fisheries' recently released draft regulations on brining chicken meat could spell higher prices for consumers and job losses in the industry.
Abalone farming in South Africa is becoming increasingly important in protecting the abalone species, as well as establishing the basis for the future development of the national aquaculture industry.
As the horsemeat scandal continues to rage through Europe, policymakers and industry are starting to reflect on what caused the crisis, and how it can be avoided in the future. In a recent meeting held in Brussels, EU health and consumer policy commissioner Tonio Borg told members of the European Parliament's health and food safety committee that it was a lack of proper controls and dissuasive sanctions on fraud in European Union (EU) countries that had caused the scandal.
Can you beat 15 minutes? That is how long it takes for a major meat producer's new integrated packing line to take 1 200kg of minced meat from the extruders and deliver fully labelled and quality-controlled one kilogramme packs, layered into Eurocrates. The line has been running for nearly a year now, and during that time no seal-defective trays have been rejected by the customer, a leading supermarket chain. What is more, this excellent line performance, supported by an efficient supply chain, has been able to deliver a nine day shelf life. If you'd like to know how we achieved this, please read the case study.

The SA poultry industry is in dire need of support from government in order to avoid collapsing as the threat of cheaper imported products adds more pressure to keep costs down. Further exacerbating matters is the prediction by economists that the rand will strengthen, making imports into the country even more affordable. According to Gareth Lloyd-Jones, MD of Ecowize, a hygiene and sanitation company servicing the food and health sector, incidences of chicken dumping in SA are likely to increase over the next few months as suppliers in struggling EU economies look for ways to dispose of surplus product. This will place severe pressure on the already struggling local industry.

Eren vs Titans by Vitor-AizenWatch
©2013-2016 Vitor-Aizen
Must kill all of them!
Eren stands no chance, but damn is he isn't simply bad-ass for trying.
Kyubi, Eva, and Oars?! This Eren guy is SO beyond dead!
awesome i want watch that fight. and how did you get the music in?
Nice edit job.... but ummm.... I'm currently picturing even TITAN Eren as roadkill here.
What song?
Given that Eren died (temporarily) before actually successfully killing a single Titan, which are significantly smaller than all of these giant ungodly monsters I will cast my vote for him being obliterated quickly
Loving the Song & the pic Epic Work
I love Evangelion and attack on Titan.
I'd love to see him try ^^
He'd be killed in a second lol
He'd be killed in a second lol

BP Daily: The worst free agent deals
Ibanez, Burnett top this dubious list
Trying to make a big splash in free agency automatically risks making a big mistake. While this winter's shopping season has been especially strange because of the overall economy, it's interesting that most teams haven't made the mistake of offering too many long-term contracts for pitchers. This is a reflection of the increasing certainty that anything beyond three years can quickly go from million-dollar expense to millstone on the payroll. Nevertheless, spend some teams did, and regrets they will most certainly have, but who did the worst?
Let's break this into different categories: the worst one-year, two-year, and three-year contracts, with honorable mentions in each category, capped by the worst deal of the winter for its length, expense, and likely return.

Great debate, both stayed pretty relevant throughout however I felt the gold/feathers argument a little unnecessary, no doubt it was an accurate analogy of conspiracy theory tactics but it didn't really add much to the conclusion.
Apart from that small detail I thought aquatus1 was the stronger debater, I cannot find fault with neither countering ability nor persuasiveness.
Style was very strong for both sides, good use of illustrations and technical knowledge although I must reiterate the point about the spell checker, it certainly takes away some credibility when claiming to be knowledgable about a subject when key words are spelled incorrectly.

A judge in Hawaii gutted a new lawsuit on Tuesday filed by two atheists against churches that rent space from public schools.
Hawaii has announced that it will no longer defend a lawsuit from 2011 regarding the former law in the state that defined marriage as between a man and woman.
Hawaiian Baptists are focusing on sharing Christianity with the local community since Hawaii became the 15th state to legalize gay marriage.

a BabyCenter Member says
In 1978 I planned for my little brother to be named Odin (after my stuffed blue penguin, of course!! I guess someone was reading a 3.5 yo Norse mythology?) Of course, I got a little sister - but I've kept that name in the back of my head all my life & now plan to use it for my son. Odin Alexander. I'm a bit worried people will assume it's "Otis" and lead to a lifetime of corrections, but at least you can pronounce it as read. Hopefully it doesn't become über trendy either - but I do see it's popularity is rising.

ESCONDIDO As jinxes go, this one was a whopper.
"I called it the Orange Glen curse," shortstop Austin Early said. "But now the curse is gone."
But not the thrill of Orange Glen winning a baseball playoff game for the first time in 15 years. Not the excitement which comes when prevailing at a school where athletic success is rare. And especially not before Friday's packed stands, with spectators squirming with every pitch.
"We used to have 5-10 people coming to the games," catcher Austin Irwin said. "Now we get a couple of hundred."
But really it was a grand afternoon here, with Orange Glen prevailing over Kearny 3-1 in a San Diego Section Division IV elimination game.
"We think we can take it all the way," Early said.
Such a proclamation early in the season would have raised eyebrows, and anything else not nailed down.
"They would have said, 'What, are you crazy?' " Early said. " 'You go to Orange Glen.' "
Which means smiles in sports are harder to find than an ocean breeze, and even tougher to remember.
The Patriots last won a section baseball title — like never.
The Patriots last won a football title — in 1967, and don't you recall that 16-7 win over Chula Vista?
The Patriots last won a boys basketball title in 1999.
The boys soccer team claimed a 2010 championship, but right now this campus gets its kicks with baseball.
"When sports do well, the kids really get behind it," said Jason Patterson, Orange Glen's athletic director. "It makes for a fun vibe around school."
It's easy gravitating to the county's best prep teams this time of the year. The spring playoffs are here, and for the most part, it's the same schools producing the same results.
But there's nothing wrong with glory being spread around. To teenagers playing just as hard and expending as much sweat, but maybe not getting the desired results.
And Kearny, which went undefeated in league, belongs in that boat, too. It made the playoffs for the first occasion in five years, and while disappointed over the loss, one would be krazy to discount the Komets' season.
"You put Kearny back on the baseball map," Komets coach Cheyne Whitney told his squad.
But it was lefty Jake Barnett plopping Orange Glen (15-14) on his back that was the difference. Barnett threw a one-hitter and struck out 14.
"When I see the big crowd for a game like this, they help us out and give us confidence," said Barnett, the Valley League Pitcher of the Year who'll play at Palomar College next season. "It makes us want to win it even more, for the fans and the school."
Orange Glen's tale is as much about perseverance as it is hitting with runners in scoring position. It's about grinding through tough times and coming out the other side a winner. It's about remembering where you have been — ugh! — and where you're headed — hosting a third-round playoff game this morning.
Barnett, Early and Irwin are fourth-year seniors with the scars to prove it: going 1-11 in league as freshmen; winning a measly 19 games in three years; being considered a perennial doormat.
"I don't think people thought we would make it this far," said Barnett, whose 135 strikeouts lead the county. "And we plan on keeping it going."
Or the Patriots' season could end today.
Does it matter — yep, because you play to win the game.
Does it matter — nope, because Orange Glen has already won.
"It's overwhelming," said Orange Glen coach Dave Barnett, Jake's father. "What all this means, I can't really put it into words."
We will with four: the curse is kaput.
