Washington, D.C.—The omnibus appropriations measure unveiled by House and Senate negotiators for the balance of fiscal 2014 sets the stage for another difficult year for the nation's revenue-producing agency, the leader of the union representing Internal Revenue Service (IRS) employees said today. "Continued underfunding of the IRS means refunds will be delayed, taxpayers will sit on hold and tax help will be available to fewer and fewer Americans," said President Colleen M. Kelley of the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU). Overall, the NTEU leader said, "While the appropriations bill is a nominal improvement over another full year Continuing Resolution at current levels, it is woefully inadequate to allow agencies to deliver the critical services taxpayers expect and deserve. Sequestration must end for the good of the nation."The measure provides roughly $200 million more for Customs and Border Protection over last year's levels, not nearly enough to address the agency's critical staffing needs. The bill also provides a pay increase of 1 percent for employees under the wage grade system, a provision NTEU strongly supports. "Wage grade employees are among those most in need of this pay increase," said Kelley.The appropriations bill includes a nominal increase for the IRS over last year's post-sequester levels. The impact of those cuts and sequestration forced the agency to shut down virtually all its operations for three days last year, resulting in multiple difficulties for taxpayers, particularly those seeking assistance.Kelley added: "In the face of severe budget cuts and reduced personnel in recent years, what is needed is a true investment in the IRS, not more of the same." Since 2010, IRS funding and staffing have been cut by 8 percent, despite a steady increase in the agency's workload. Overall, from budget cuts and sequestration, IRS funding has been reduced by some $1 billion over the past three years, leading to a decline of more than 8,000 employees."The White House had it right," President Kelley said, "when it proposed a fiscal 2014 budget of $12.8 billion for the IRS. This agency collects 93 percent of all government revenue," she said. "It is the linchpin for the entire government, and it must have sufficient resources and staffing to do this critical job effectively."Last week, National Taxpayer Advocate Nina Olson reported to Congress on the serious toll underfunding and insufficient IRS staffing is taking on America's taxpayers. Among her findings: • the IRS was able to answer only 61 percent of calls from taxpayers seeking assistance from a customer service representative—a number than left 20 million taxpayers unable to get through on the phone; • an increase in telephone wait times from 2.6 minutes a decade ago to 17.6 minutes in 2013; • an 86 percent drop in tax law questions answered, from 795,000 10 years ago to only 110,000 in the 2013 filing season; • a cut of 87 percent, from $172 million in 2010 to just $22 million last year in employee training. At the same time, the number of individual tax returns grew from 131.4 million in fiscal 2004 to about 146 million in fiscal 2013, an increase of about 11 percent, with about one-third of it having occurred just since fiscal 2010. NTEU is the nation's largest independent federal union, representing 150,000 employees in 31 agencies and departments.

HEDGEHOG TAKES A BATH – I didn't think Hedgehogs liked water and I never thought they would be buoyant.
Just had to share this with you and hope you will post it. This is the video of little Ragweed the Hedgehog taking a bath. I am pretty astonished as just how calm the little fellow is and even more astounded that he didn't mind the water, but to watch him curl up in a ball floating is just adorable.
Editor's Notes – Thanks for the heads up. How could we refuse to publish such a delightful video. I'm sure our readers will love it as much as we did. Thanks for the contribution.

Clone a phone
By christophersaul on Aug 21, 2006
I spent some time today fiddling with Bluetooth and my Sony K700i to get it synch'd with my laptop, Palm Pilot and my internal Sun web based calendar. I thought this would be a simple task, given the length of time Bluetooth, Windows and Sony have been around, but this didn't prove to be the case. Eventually everything suddenly worked, for no apparent reason - let's hope it keeps doing so. During my experiments I came across an excellent open source phone management tool called FMA, which proved to be pretty handy. Never again will I need to wonder what the temperature of my phone is. A quick link to FMA over Bluetooth and my laptop and all the phone related info I never thought I'd need is there for me. I have to wonder why it takes a group of volunteers to create such a cool application when phone vendors themselves could improve their offering by writing something themselves. One tool that really seems to be missing is the ability to back up all the personalised data on a phone. Aaron's lent me his old K750i, which is a nice upgrade from my current phone. Whilst I know I can copy all my contacts across without any issues, it doesn't look like I'll be able to copy across something equally important to me - all the words I've entered into the phone's dictionary. I send a lot of text messages, something the phone's predictive text makes very easy. Predictive text is excellent, but for obvious reasons it doesn't contain words like 'Solaris', 'Al Bustan', 'SGD' and suchlike. After 6 months the dictionary's filled up with lots of my custom entries and I really don't fancy having to re-enter them into every new phone I acquire over the years to come. It seems to me that mobile phone makers could do a bit more to endear their particular brand to business users. Creating a loyal following by making the interface cuter and by including a free darts game is one thing. I think using standard cabling, providing synch tools that work without fiddling and making it easy to back up all the features on a phone would probably be far more effective. IT managers looking to standardise on one vendor (or solitary desktop sales managers in Dubai thinking of ditching Sony for Nokia) are far more likely to stick to the brand they're already using if the upgrade process is made as painless as possible.

Many wise words in this thread.
Speaking as an INTJ, I'd be surprised if he was spending time with you just because of physical attraction. And the fact that he's getting intimate is a large indication that he likes you.
Be yourself, and definitely do not do anything you're uncomfortable with. Communication is always appreciated, as long as it's honest and open. He won't stick around long if he doesn't want to be with you.
Who initiates the meetings between you two?

It's best for you and I and the other INTJs because we like that kind of communication. Many people really don't appreciate blunt honesty, and so are not going to think that is what their (INTJ) mate wants to hear.
The concept of tact stems from this. Silly tact.

Post subject: hmmm...
I am an INTJ and I have found myself attracted, from a distance, to INTP females when I was younger. I found them alluring, sexy, and interesting but when I actually started communicating with them I ran into some major turn-offs:
1. Self-doubt - This smells of rotten cheese - if you have this moldy smelly habit I suggest you get rid of it now... You seem to hold this guy's opinion of you pretty highly - so use your logic - if he is with you then your good enough for him - end of self doubt - the proof is in the pudding!!! If your worried about sex - make the first move - I know that despite all my self-confidence in other areas of life - I never made the first move in a relationship... Although, I did strategically make myself available for having the first move made on me - sometimes obviously so - lol...
2. Goals / Direction - INTP's seem so wishy-washy about everything - and they seem down-right depressed when goals are mentioned - I know that when I see myself in the future - I like to plan ahead - it is difficult when the image I have of my partner is of her still being wishy-washy in ten years! At least have an answer to this future question - but don't lie - say something like - currently, I am planning to do blah, blah, blah - at least then you can be included in his future fantasy even if your going to change your mind again in ten minutes - at least he gets to enjoy making all his plans again after you've changed your mind...
3. Focus - The J vs. P thing - I am not sure how badly you guys differ on this one but I found that the intellectual 'discussions' I had with J friends were very different than the intellectual 'conversations' I had with P friends... INTP's don't seem to be able to hold a topic for long. This can give the impression that you are not serious about the topic - just skimming and not getting deep into the topic. Maybe, try holding a topic longer or at least fringing the same topic with related topics. Have you tried explaining the personality typing thing to him? Perhaps you two will have something to laugh about or at least an icebreaker when personality conflicts are occuring if you both understand...
4. Truth - Be honest! I know this was mentioned above but the first thing I do when INTP's start straying from the truth is tune them out and go on to better things - in this department it is truely better to say nothing at all than to speak a lie... Don't lose an INTJ's trust - you'll never get it back - ever!
5. As an INTJ, I like to solve problems - that is what my brain does best - so if I find fault in you it means: I am watching you and paying you attention, you are worth my presious brain time (lol), and I am interested in a future with you in it.
There is a catch-22 in every relationship where confidence is a factor - if you have confidence you are more likely to succeed than if you lack confidence. And that if you don't have confidence you are likely going to have less after the nest obsticle because you are more likely to fail without confidence...
I would make a list of all the reasons you have to be self-confident about yourself. Then ask yourself why is he still here if I really have to worry about factor A or Factor B?
I hope you do well in your relationship and I hope something on this forum helps you too!

(Ricky Gervais interviews Garry Shandling)
Garry Shandling, Joe Rogan, Crispin Glover, Steve-O. Are some of the people I've taken note of for being amazingly honest people, even in front of an audience. I really recommend buying "Not Just The Best of The Larry Sanders Show" for the dvd extras of Shandling just having candid chats with people like Sharon Stone, Jerry Seinfeld, and Tom Petty.
"The conversation between Shandling and Doucett gets so personal - she talks about how she wanted to marry Shandling - that it almost feels like we shouldn't be watching, which is not to say you'll want to shut it off, because this is compelling stuff. Shandling is a very funny man, but he's also a very private man, and this DVD set gives you some incredible insight into his mind. It's very impressive that he left so much "…and the warts" material in this DVD set, which he obviously took great care in helping put together."
Something from my life that really sealed the "total honesty" (feelings/thoughts/history/everything) package for me. When I was 16, just starting 11th grade. My friend of 3 classroom years (he and I only talked in various classes we were put together in) wanted to hang out over the weekend. Go see a movie or whatever. We ended up stopping at a McDonald's first. Went the drive-thru way and I made a comment about if the cashier even registered as another human being in your head. Could it just as well be a robot? He laughed it off. After we're done eating and like 10 minutes of silence. He tells me he was molested as a child. #%!@$! MAYDAY MOTHERFUCKER %$!@!. Instead of feeling sorry for the guy, consoling him. I realized I had no coping mechanism for this in my introverted world. Another human being with a deep life! I've never thought such a thing. Intellectual level, sure, feelings-wise, no. All of a sudden I felt a total transparency of my mind and my mouth. I didn't calculate I just said what was on my mind. "OK, I'm getting a feeling that this was a deep-thing for you. I don't want an awkward silence. You're going to get my unfiltered thoughts. I haven't known anyone that has been abused before. I'm finding out real quick that this is nothing like television dramas. We are going to shape what impact this has on me and our friendship right now. I am trying to imagine what therapists say to get this level of intimacy with people they've basically just met. Have you told your parents? No, OK, this is an interesting effect. That the longer you've known somebody the less likely they're going to know about your inner world. Do you think I'm over-reacting? Hmm, it's no big deal, you just wanted to tell me. Well, I think, you're still holding back, like you're still outside of this moment we're sharing right here right now. I am entirely interested in what you have to say. Don't hide from me. This was an extremely painful moment in your life. You wish it was erased from your life, and I'm commanding you to put everything on the table. What does reality look like when you finally tell people 'I can't handle it. The world fucked me.'?"
It was a very wild intense kind of discussion. We worked to get his past behind him and to start becoming the man he wanted to be. He's one of my best friends nowadays and he's always seemed like a very good example of what aggressively pursuing your deep issues can do. This changed my whole approach to being social because I realized I FEEL completely different when I am being honest. I started thinking of honesty and fun as something you PROJECT at other people. It's not something you can micro-manage it's an entire APPROACH to life. It comes with it's own stories to tell. It comes with an intense interest in people. It comes with a NEED to ADD VALUE to people and their lives. It comes with a GREAT POWER that you HAVE to respect. You literally get told secrets people don't share with their best friends or things that would ruin the lives they've built up for themselves. If one person knew everything about you what control could they have over you? Anyways, the way I feel this relates to some of the issues brought up is that just saying things like "It's OK you can be honest with me" inspires no confidence in the other person. EVERYONE has moments where they wish they didn't have to put on their little masks. Knowing that everyone has these moments allows you to RELATE to them. What is something corny and lame about yourself? When was the last time you had been completely embarrassed? How do you talk, carry yourself, and show understanding that lets others see that nothing shocks you anymore? What does ABSOLUTE TRUST mean to you? How do you use your understanding of the social process, of HUMAN NATURE, to put others at ease. To grant permission to be themselves around you. Adopting the "frame" that smalltalk and other pleasantries are stupid and just not for you doesn't help in this respect. A better one is "Blunt truth is not the social norm. That's because other people are not as open or cool to honest people as I am. I am going to show through my actions, social risks, well-being, leadership, and hopefully friendships. That you can get better results in life by #1 Being honest with yourself and #2 Being honest with others." If you can't get other people to OPEN up to you. You are MISSING some piece of the puzzle. Don't be surprised at the "stupidity" of others, ask yourself what is so wrong with my model of people that I continually can't understand/sympathize with why they do what they do.
If you haven't already read Robert Cialdini's Influence do yourself a favor and get it.

Set goals and accomplish them. Being tough wins a whole lot of points with me. A friend of mine fell while he was mountain biking and gashed his forehead. It required 20 stitches. When the doctor mentioned that lidocaine causes the area to swell and the the scar would be less pronounced without the numbing agent, my friend decided to get the stitches without lidocaine. Something like this impresses me a lot. He did not get the stitches without lidocaine to look tough; rather, he was willing to suffer a little in the short term for the best result down the road. I don't know if this is just me as I'm borderline S? I want someone who is an equal mix of smart (the last thing I want is a genius) and tough.
I get annoyed when people want a lot of reassurance. One of the reasons it bothers me is it strikes me as selfish. It takes effort on my part to reassure you but you are not mindful of that -- all that matters is that you feel better. Everyone has doubts but we learn to judge what is worth expressing and what is just our needing to feel better in the moment -- while not accomplishing anything. I'm not even sure where in your line of questioning a concern for him popped up. It seemed all about you and how to find a way to achieve your desire to have his affection.

You ARE going to meet this problem, it just depends on how large it is. The largeness is going to depend on how big his J is and you P and has the potential of getting smaller in margin overtime if you are both able to find a balance of P and J. This is, that with his J he feels like he needs to keep the conversation on track because he likes to analyze one point more precisely and exactly first before adding in more things. You, on the otherhand, with you P like to brainstorm more, taking in possibilities of possibilities, doing slight analysis on them and continuing to brainstorm, then when you feel like you have a good thought/system you present it. Js can hyper-focus on one point and this lends to their inability to be as open to things before they brush them off as non-working or impractical.
You will likely see this as annoying as well, as he can't claim to be thinking big if he isn't considering all of the possibilities of the possibilies before passing them off. But in his eyes, he finds he would be bogged down by considering so many possibilities in all of their connections (he wouldn't ever get anywhere), thus the J feels a need to eliminate and simplify towards a working idea as soon as they can and do this by eliminating things which do not seem to fit at first glance.
Now, as mentioned, depending on people's J this can vary. So one J may be more willing to wait for more disaffirmations of an idea before excluding it, while another may be willing to brainstorm more loosely on possibilities for a longer period of time before deciding the cutoff point has been reached. This is DEFINITELY not to say that the J is not brainstorming, but they are using methods, as mentioned, to not get chronically bogged down by the vast amount of possibilities.
So with as P, depending on your level as well, you could want to stop at a quicker point than others Ps, or you may start including other items at a quicker rate when brainstorming towards the whole of the idea than other Ps might. And of course, there are many other factors that make up the P and the J in what they are doing respectively.

just me's attempt at humor.......is "Godfather" an imaginary word? Just kidding. I need coaching from HT. Good post. I'll reread it later.
How to make someone like you? Money, lots and lots of money.
See, I can do it!! Invite them on a cruise. Fix them their favorite meal.
Ice cream. Rub their feet.
It was always great when someone picked up on MY discomfort (from Metaphorical's post, but inverted) and did something to make it go away out of genuine concern with no other motive than caring. Some folk see discomfort in another as their own fault and do what they can to make the other person feel more comfortable. Some do it subconsciously. We all, no......most of us want to be accepted and liked, if not loved. It takes a lot more out of some of us than others.
Free beer.......tomorrow.

Wow all these comments are so deep. I should have posted here a long time ago . Hatchback176 your post blew my mind away, I first I skipped it because it was long and then I went back and was just amazed. What a new way to look at things. Also Darvick your entire post was brilliant.
Anyway I ended things with him but now I have regrets because he told me how fantastic he thought I was and maybe I was just reading into things wrong. And BB200, you are right I was so concerned with him liking me because I was fascinated by him that I never got a chance to really get to know his innermost thoughts and feelings. So I suggested we be friends and he agreed and I really meant that because I do really want to know him and I should not have jumped into things so quickly. To answer your question, Joel L, he did always initiate meetings between the two of us which makes me hesitant about how hard to push a friendship because he's always working. I don't know why I think INTJ's are such complicated creatures, especially the men, I don't know how much they respect women or want to be bothered. But I will definitely work on communication and honesty. Thanks so much for all your comments and suggestions!!

The holidays are over. The turkey coma has worn off. Reality has set in and so has buyer's remorse. Like most parents who grew up in a certain era, (cough Generation x), your children want exactly what you want, the same model phone, the same expensive clothing, and the same fine jewelry. We made these little material monsters and now we are literally paying the price.
The holidays are commercialized as ever and will likely never change. That being said, your teenager is going to only expect to receive more each year. This is the mentality of a kid sitting in front of a television. These young feeble minds are easily manipulated making these years as good time as any to teach your children valuable lessons about money and responsibility, by default saving you a few holiday dollars next year.
In today's economy it can be extremely difficult finding a job and even more so for teenagers. When I was a kid we had the equivalent of work study where you obtained on the job training as early as middle school. Those programs have since fallen to the waste side in some towns and been completely eliminated in others. Even with the odds, not so much in their favor, here are six things that you can do that will give your teenager a fighting chance.
1. Have a professional resume
Many teens dread putting together a resume because they lack practical job experience. Tell your teen not to fret. Even if you don't have work experience you can show a future employer how you can assist in their business by highlighting volunteer experience and even odd jobs they've completed for you around the house. The key is highlighting basic skills that can be useful on any job like being detail oriented and punctual.
2. Check Out Teen Friendly websites
www.Groovejob.com is a cool job site that offers part time jobs, student jobs, teen jobs and hourly jobs! Just type in your zip code to find jobs and apply online.
www.Summerjobs.com – Over 2 million high school students, college students, and recent graduates from around the US visit SummerJobs.com as part of their summer job search.
3. Contact local youth organizations
The YMCA and Boys and Girls Club organizations both have ties to the community and many employers looking to give back. This is an excellent resource to find jobs for your teen.
4. Visit the Usual Suspects
Teen friendly employers like movie theaters, fast food restaurants and grocery stores typically will take applications on site and are always hiring. Their flexible scheduling and seasonal crowds make this a good bet for your teen.
5. Investigate state/county government programs
In Broward County, Florida's One Stop Career Center Workforce One offers The WIA Youth program. Funded by the federal Workforce Investment Act (WIA), which offers a comprehensive range of workforce development activities through statewide and local organizations, youth services are provided to in-school and out-of-school youth ages 16-21. Youth are eligible to participate in Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Youth Services if they are low-income/economically disadvantaged and meet certain criteria.
The Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) provides Broward County youth between the ages of 16 and 18 with paid summer employment, specifically for an eight-week period between June and August. (Note: The youth application for summer 2014 will be available January 13, 2014, until January 24, 2014.)
Visit www.wf1broward.com/ for details
6. Ask your friends
This one is probably one of the easiest ways to secure a job for your teen. We all have that friend with the messy garage, basement and or attic. Ask them if they need a little help with spring cleaning. What about tending to weeds in the lawn or garden? Who couldn't use a babysitter for date night? You may also have friends that need light office or clerical work done like filing or answering phones. All you have to do is ask.
These 6 steps will have your teen working in no time, teaching your child valuable life lessons as well as giving your wallet a break.

Action shots from UW home duals
2011-12: Helbig stepped up for the Cowboys this season, filling a position of need and proving he was the ultimate teammate. Despite being what some would call undersized, Helbig was the starter at heavyweight for UW in 12 of 13 duals.
For the season, Helbig went 5-7 in duals and 17-16 overall, and was second in both the Northwest and Kearney Opens. He was 8-2 versus conference competition with three pins and eight major decisions. In conference duals, he earned wins versus Utah Valley, Air Force, Northern Colorado, South Dakota State and North Dakota State. Helbig was third on UW in major decisions with eight.
He started the West Regional with two major decisions before narrowly losing to Northern Iowa's Blayne Beal in the heavyweight title match. For his efforts, Helbig earned All-WWC honors for the third-straight year.
2010-11: After splitting time between 197 pounds and heavyweight, Helbig asserted himself as UW's starter at 197 during the 2010-11 campaign with a West Regional title and a trip to the NCAA Championships. He went 22-15 overall and 9-9 in duals to go with eight major decisions and four pins. He was 10-1 against the WWC.
Helbig's season ended with losses to No. 8 Matt Powless of Indiana and Anthony Biondo of Michigan at the national tournament, but that didn't sour a season of success for him. Helbig claimed his first West Regional title with a dominant performance at the event. He pinned his first two opponents, before claiming a 14-4 major decision over Northern Iowa's Andy O'Laughlin, who had earned a major decision against him just two weeks earlier. The win clinched the team title for Wyoming and gave Helbig first-team All-WWC honors.
Helbig opened the season with an individual title at the Northwest Open, before finishing second at the Cowboy Open. He failed to place at the Kaufman-Brand Open and Reno Tournament of Champions, before he earned an eight-match winning streak during the dual season.
The UW coaching staff gave Helbig the Academic Hustle award for his efforts in the classroom.
2009-10: During his redshirt freshman year, Helbig competed at both 197 pounds and heavyweight, but it was his contributions at heavyweight after the first of the year that made his season a memorable one.
Entering the final matches at the 2010 NCAA West Regional in the heavyweight division, the Pokes trailed the Northern Iowa Panthers by just one-half of a point. The Panther's Christian Brantley won his match, but so did UW's Helbig, and Helbig pinned his opponent which gave Wyoming the necessary bonus points to jump in front of UNI to end the night, sealing the team title for Wyoming. Helbig placed third at the event to earn third-team All-WWC accolades.
Helbig finished the year with a 20-15 record and five of those wins came by way of fall. He started the season by placing first at the Northwest Wyoming Open at 197. Helbig had three dual wins at heavyweight, helping his team fill a void, and he had an overall record of 6-3 against Western Wrestling Conference opponents.
South Dakota State's Tyler Sorenson was ranked No. 10 in the country at 197 when he faced Helbig in Reno. Helbig would beat Sorenson, 6-5. He was a huge factor in helping his team win the 2010 West Regional team title, as well as the 2010 WWC Regular Season Dual team title.
2008-09: Helbig was impressive at 184 pounds as a redshirt freshman, going 22-8 in open events. He posted six wins by fall and three by major decision.
The highlight of the year for Helbig was when he won the amateur division at the Cowboy Open, with three wins by fall and one by major decision. He also placed second at the Utah Valley Open and fourth at the Omaha Open.
High School: Helbig was a two-time Michigan state champion, going undefeated both his senior and freshman seasons at Mason High School. He was a NHSCA Senior All-American and took first place at the NHSCA National Championships in Myrtle Beach, S.C., as well as being named a two-time Mid-Michigan Dream Team selection. Prior to his senior year, Helbig was ranked No. 1 in the state of Michigan and No. 14 in the nation at 189 pounds. He helped lead Mason to back-to-back state championships, the first time in school history.
Personal: Helbig was born on July 28, 1989, in Lansing, Mich., and he is the son of Dave and Leesa Helbig. He has an older sister, Brianna. A social science major at UW, Helbig was born deaf and has a cochlear implant in his left ear to assist with hearing.
Career record: 82-58 (14 falls) (Two-time NCAA qualifier)

The pop-up exhibit will open for one day only at Macy's in Century City, California, featuring some of the singer's most famous costumes.Madonna hand-picked her favourite eight pieces from her vast costume archive and her personal collection to feature in the installation - including that instantly-recognisable Jean Paul Gaultier conical corset, from the Blonde Ambition tour, and the Like A Virgin wedding dress that she wore to the MTV VMAs in 1984. The exhibition will sit alongside the latest collection from the Material Girl line that she created for Macy's with her daughter Lourdes."The pop-up exhibit at Macy's perfectly exemplifies the inspiration and spirit of the Material Girl line and will give my fans a great opportunity to see the evolution of my style over the years," said Madonna.The one-off installation was curated and styled by Arianne Phillips, who has creatively collaborated with the singer for years."Fashion has never been the same [since Madonna]," said Phillips. "Bold and unforgiving, humorous and shocking, we can depend on her to challenge us to rethink fashion. Madonna has taken sacred garments like the wedding dress and religious embellishments and re-contextualised them." Of the Like a Virgin wedding dress Phillips commented: "That was one of the most shocking, liberating and influential moments in pop culture and fashion history."The Madonna's Fashion Evolution exhibition will be open to customers at the Macy's Century City store in California on Thursday April 25 from 6pm to 8pm.

The Kustaanheimo–Stiefel (KS) transform turns a gravitational two-body problem into a harmonic oscillator, by going to four dimensions. In addition to the mathematical-physics interest, the KS transform has proved very useful in N-body simulations, where it helps to handle close encounters. Yet the formalism remains somewhat arcane, with the role of the extra dimension being especially mysterious. This paper shows how the basic transformation can be interpreted as a rotation in three dimensions. For example, if we slew a telescope from zenith to a chosen star in one rotation, we can think of the rotation axis and angle as the KS transform of the star. The non-uniqueness of the rotation axis encodes the extra dimension. This geometrical interpretation becomes evident on writing KS transforms in quaternion form, which also helps to derive concise expressions for regularized equations of motion.

ETF Money Back to Betting VIX Will Pop Higher
While the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index remains low by historical standards even amid turmoil in Ukraine and worries about China, markets are seeing renewed interest in bets that volatility is likely to pop higher.
The so-called VIX, which measures prices traders are willing to pay for options portfolio insurance, fell 0.8% to 14.68 Wednesday, though it flirted with its third straight gain in a row for most of the session. That level is near its average over the past 200 days, but well below its long-term average near 20.
In the background, however, money has headed into exchange-traded notes that profit from a rise in market volatility and higher VIX readings. These same bets were out of favor last month, when the S&P 500 sank to its 2014 lows on Feb. 3, in turn sending the VIX as high as 21.44. Stocks and the VIX tend you move in opposite directions as demand increases for portfolio insurance.
More In VIX
- Brexit Vote Drives Euro Stock Market Volatility to Highest in Over a Decade Versus U.S.
- VIX Up. Stocks Swings Down. Investors Expect Trouble Beyond Brexit
- The VIX Just Had a Huge Day
- VIX Futures Don't Signal Stress Even as VIX Rises
- Four Stats that Show the Fear in the Market
- Where Has All the Volatility Gone? VIX Hits Lowest Level of 2016
Back then, the hot trade was betting that the VIX pop would be short-lived. In early February, the total assets for the VelocityShares Daily Inverse VIX Short Term exchange-traded note (XIV), which profits when VIX futures decline, surpassed assets of the iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN for the first time ever.
For a brief moment, and in the throes stock stock-market slide, more investors were betting the VIX would fall rather than rise. Since then, the shine has come off betting that the VIX will fall.
Since Feb. 7, the VXX, which rises with the VIX, has soaked up $280 million, while XIV, which rises when VIX falls, has shed $149 million, according to ETF.com.
To be sure, players are not yet stepping over each other for options. Wednesday's options volume on VIX futures, as well daily trading in the VXX, were roughly average, according to FactSet.
Market players are in bit of a no-man's land: headlines about slowing global economic growth and turmoil in Crimea is really all to go on until the Federal Reserve's policy-setting committee concludes on March 19. There are signs that some traders are girding for declines, including selling recently high-flying small-cap stocks.
"With not much economic news to move the markets this week, news stories such as Ukraine will have the potential to make the market volatile in the near term," said Paul Weisbruch, vice president of ETF and options trading at Street One Financial.

Cole Porter's Breakthrough
Program InformationSeries: A Moment in Time
Duration: 00:05:42
Year Produced: 2009
The 1940s were not a good decade for Cole Porter.
A Moment in Time is a brief, exciting and compelling journey into the past. Created to excite and enlighten the public about the past, its relevance to the present and its impact on the future, A Moment In Time is a captivating historical narrative that is currently broadcast worldwide.For more information visit: http://amomentintime.com
Lead: The 1940s were not a good decade for Cole Porter.
Intro: A Moment in Time with Dan Roberts.
Content: Though he was one of the hottest properties on Broadway with a seemingly endless stream of successes in the 1930s and in his music and lyrics represented the epitome of sophistication and wit, during the war decade Porter went through a long period of personal and professional discouragement.
Much of his depression grew out of a serious riding accident in the summer of 1937. Porter and his wife Linda were separated at the time due to his excessive lifestyle. He was with friends at an estate on Long Island when a high-spirited horse tripped and fell first on one of his legs, reared up and fell again on the other of Porter's legs. Months of painful therapy followed and when he finally returned to work, despite a quick series of musical hits, his creative edge seemed to have been dulled. Further, during the war years his reputation was jolted by a series of flops.
He was disappointed with the limited success of the musical "Mexican Hayride" and the failure of "Seven Lively Arts" and the movie, "The Pirate." He was even more dissatisfied with the movie based on his life. "Night and Day" featured Cary Grant in an unlikely portrayal of Porter which was a box office success; but the story was a long series of fabrications, wrapped in Technicolor and gloss, with little to recommend it save a string of Porter's own songs. His association with Orson Welles in the 1946 musical "Around the World in 80 Days" lasted only 75 performances and did nothing to enhance his declining reputation.
When late in the decade the possibility arose of creating a musical based on Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew," he was not very enthusiastic. Yet, the play "Kiss Me Kate" turned out to be his greatest hit. With it Porter turned his back on depression and failure and once again began to produce musical hits. "Kiss Me Kate" was a play within a play, depicting the lives of a theater couple, Fred and Lilly, who though divorced were still romantically attached.
After a rocky start, the show opened at the new Century Theater in New York on December 30, 1948. It was a smash. The musical was the longest running of Cole Porter's career. Many of its songs became standards, such as "Wunderbar," "Another Op'nin' Another Show," and one of his most tender love songs, "So In Love." The show was typical of the sophistication of Porter's work and appropriately marked the end of his long creative depression.
Cole Porter's music was bright, intelligent, irreverent, sexy and fun, which can best be heard in "Winderbar" performed in our audio version, from the original cast recording of the climax of "Kiss Me Kate." It is sung by Alfred Drake and Patricia Morrison.
At the University of Richmond, this is Dan Roberts.

This is another homage to the Fallout universe using the Nerf Vortex Proton as a base. I went with a simplistic look here, gunmetal, detailing and a rusted / dirty grip. It took longer to do than it looks lol.
Full Write-Up here.
Full Write-Up here.
the guns are the "nerfiest" WAAAYYYYY BAACKKK HOMEEE
I'm well impressed. Both your and Meow's work really blow my mind. I just finished some more Borderlands inspired sidearms. A proton and another Maverik. Still nothing like what you guys are doing but there's been definite improvement
I really like your stuff. I've only just started modding and I'm not great at it. What paints do you use? do you use spray paint? I'm finding spray paint to be a bit of a PIA and I'm curious what other people are using. I'm working on a series of Borderlands1/2 inspired weapons. You can check out my first effort at a Hyperion Conference Call inspired Maverik
nice one
It good, well done.
Nice work! I bought a Proton to customize too. I've never modded a Nerf before. Did you sand down the surface? Did you tear down completely? I took mine apart to see what I was going to deal with. Didn't seem too crazy. Thanks!
Sorry must have missed this... Yes always start by sanding the entire thing. I didn't take this all apart, just the nose.
If you're just painting the proton, you don't need to pull the entire thing apart. You can just unscrew the front bit that sits over the slide.
ok thank you so much waht about the small part that ooks like it could be staorge for something?
What part? Sorry hard to tell what you mean. Once you remove the 'nose' you'll see the next step is literally to take it all apart as the next lot of screws are all the side ones holding both halves together. If you do take it ALL apart, take a LOT of reference photos with your camera / camera phone as it will make it MUCH easier for you to put it all back together
hell yah my friend... damn i have too many hobbies and too many projects on the table... one more thing of inspiration
This is awesome, I love the details....this gun isn't modified at all is it, just painted right?
ha thats awesome! love fallout
Nice! I like the Vault Tec logo.
Just did that in photoshop. Not hard to find a basic one online
That looks so damn cool. How long did it take you to paint it?
Longer than it looks lol. It took a few days, but obviously only visiting it for a few hours, maybe 5 all up, but a fair chunk was working on the decal work on the computer.
So much WIN

College Hockey:Terriers Upset Black Bears
Eleven Goals Scored in Wild Game
BOSTON, Mass. — In sports, they say the ability to counterpunch — in other words answer your opponent when they score — is almost more important than the punch itself.
Boston University proved that true on Friday, consistently answering any offense mustered by No. 12 Maine with swifter and more powerful scoring punches. The end product was an offensive explosion for the Terriers resulting in a 7-4 victory in the first of a two game weekend series against the Black Bears at Agganis Arena.
I think this team is to the point that they dont get down when somebody scores on them, said BU head coach Jack Parker. The best part about the night is we had answers every time.
The Terriers certainly did have answers. After jumping out to a 2-0 lead, BU let Maine back in with two quick second period goals. But the Terriers answered immediately with two goals of their own. After Maine climbed back to within a goal at 4-3, BUs answer was definitive: three goals in a span of 3:34.
It never ceases to amaze me the momentum swings in hockey, said Maine head coach Tim Whitehead. It was disappointing [after scoring goal] that we would let our guard down.
BU offense was paced by six multiple point scorers including a three-point game from defenseman Colby Cohen (goal, two assists) and two goals from Ross Gaudet.
For Gaudet, a redshirt freshman, he continues to catch lightning in a bottle. The two goals gives Gaudet five goals in five games and ten on the season, that despite taking just 30 shots this season.
We want him to shoot more, laughed Parker about an almost unheard of .333 shooting percentage for the second-line winger. Hes gotten some great looks. Maybe hes thinking, If I get 50 more shots Ill get a few more goals.
Though BU held a slight advantage in shots early, it was the Terriers that had the most memorable offensive chances and scored the first periods only goal. Gaudet scored his ninth goal of the season just 1:18 into the game finishing off a feed from Joe Pereira on a well-executed 2-on-1.
The Terriers had a host of chances to extend the lead. Maine starting netminder Scott Darling (18 saves) made a stellar stop at the two-minute mark, robbing Vinny Saponari with the left pad on yet another 2-on-1. At 5:34, Kevin Shattenkirk one-timed a shot on the power play that beat Darling but rang squarely off the left post.
At the other end, the BU defense did a nice job stiffing Maines offense. The Black Bears attempted 20 shots but just eight landed on net with the Terrier defense blocking seven of Maines attempts.
BU extended the lead early in the second when Gaudet scored his second goal, wristing a shot from the left halfboards that caught Darling anticipating a pass, beating him five hole at 4:33.
Maine looked to be in real trouble midway through the frame when an extended 5-on-3 power play resulted in just one shot, a weak wrister from the slot that Millan had no trouble stopping.
But the Black Bears kept forcing things and before long, the game was tied. At 11:28, Joey Diamond poked home the rebound of Kevin Swallows shot to pull within goal. And a power play goal by David deKastrozza, poking the puck under a sprawled Kieran Millan (18 saves) at 13:45 created a whole new ballgame.
That didnt last long, though, as Saponari roofed the rebound of a Chris Connolly shot on the power play at 16:01. And Nick Bonino perfectly placed a shot inside the right post with 1:21 remaining to send BU to locker room with a two-goal lead through two.
Hoping to close out the game, the Terriers instead came out flat in the third and allowed Maine to claw back. After Milan made a couple of incredible stops to halt a buzzing Maine attack, he couldnt recover to stop Jeff Dimmen who got Maine within a goal at 5:59.
But that seemingly woke the sleeping Terriers. Zach Cohan helped regain the two-goal lead at 7:25 pushing a rebound past Shawn Sirman (four saves) who replaced Darling to start the third. Eighteen second later, BU slammed the door, this time with a Colby Cohen one-timer off the left post and it for the 6-3 lead.
David Warsofsky extended the lead at 10:59 with his ninth goal of the year. On the play, Sirman (four saves) was injured forcing Darling to return to finish the game.
Maine then closed the scoring with Robby Dees 11th goal of the year with 4:26 left. After the goal, Parker replaced Millan with junior Adam Kraus (four saves). It was just his second appearance of the season.
The victory allows BU to keep pace with Massachusetts-Lowell for fifth place and pulls both clubs with two points of Massachusetts for the final home ice spot.
Maine, on the other hand, remains tied for second with Boston College but fell five points behind first place New Hampshire, a 4-2 winner Friday over Providence. That makes the two points on the line in Saturdays rematch with BU even more important.
Two points tomorrow is worth the same as two points tonight, said Whitehead.

IBAT's 35th Anniversary
1974 Sports Trivia
Many things have changed in the financial world since IBAT became the voice of Texas community banking in 1974. But the more things change, the more they remain the same…
"…In operating a small business, there is one factor that is of primary significance—the availability and cost of financing. Working capital and long-term financing needs are different for each type of small business. No type of institution is better suited to provide this form of capital at the lowest cost, to measure the associated risk and advise the entrepreneur than is the local community bank."
"…Over the past few years, I have heard from many of you who have expressed anxiety over the future of independent banking and the accompanying impact on the service to your communities. You have feared, and observed, a draining off of your local deposits, the rapid expansion of multi-bank holding companies, foreign bank intervention and the new non-bank entrants into the financial services field."
" Community bankers will continue to ply their trade in the personal and efficient manner demanded by customers throughout their market area."
Senator John Tower
(Excerpts from column in IBAT newsletter, January 1983)

Legal Ease Question of the Week
Question: I know that our bank can't have the box numbers on safe deposit box keys, but I know that we need to stamp our routing number on the keys. However, I can't find any law that says we must do this. Can you point out the law that requires our routing number on the side of our safe deposit box keys?

1. Your board members to contribute a minimum of $100 to either the IBAT PAC or the IBAT FedPAC
2. Ask your employees to contribute to one of the two PACs. And remember, the sale of Dream Vacation tickets counts as a PAC Drive.

Community Banking Month
Community Banking Month is just around the corner. During the month of April, IBAT members will join our counterparts from across the nation to celebrate the real economic backbone of the United States—the community bank. With all of the talk centered around the recession, bailouts, and Wall Street failures, the one thing that has not changed is you—the Main Street community banker. You're still strong and well-capitalized. You still have money to lend—and continue to make good loans—thanks to your practical, sound and responsible fiscal management. Let Wall Street handle the gloom and doom. Let community banks step up to let customers know that your doors are open and you're ready to lend to your neighbors and local businesses—just like always!
IBAT has requested a proclamation from Governor Rick Perry designating April as Community Banking Month in Texas. Our national affiliate, ICBA, has easy turnkey press materials and marketing ideas posted on their website (www.icba.org) to help you celebrate Community Banking Month!

Burning Bridges
|Burning Bridges
|GTA Vice City Stories
|The Mendez Brothers
|Prawn Island, Vice City
|Blitzkrieg Strikes Again
Burning Bridges is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories given by the Mendez brothers in Prawn Island, Vice City.
Lance and Victor Vance drop-by Mendez's mansion. The Mendez brothers are happy and tell them that they are "finished". Armando Mendez tells them that the Vance brothers are free and in return must leave town and give the Mendez's control of all their interests. The Vance's refuse and are attacked by henchman. After a short moment they wake up in Viceport in the middle of a place full of explosive tankers containing oil. Three Mendez goons arrive and shoot at them but Victor and Lance both jump away and the Mendez goon accidentally shoots the velvet of a tanker and is caught in fire, and dies. Lance is trapped behind the places and Victor has to save him before the tankers all explode. Victor has actually lost his weapons but they are hidden behind a Sentinel outside. Victor makes his way and kills any henchman attacking him, he shoots three velvets and jumps on a PCJ-600 parked there and along with Lance makes his way out just as the oil tankers all explode. They split out and now the Mendez Cartel are enemies of the Vance Crime Family.
(Victor, Lance Vance, Armando and Diego Mendez at Mendez Mansion.)
Armando Mendez: The rear guard advances, unstoppable. So, you are finished, Diego - they are finished
Diego Mendez: Buenos.
Armando Mendez: ...And none of us dead. The civilized life of gentleman - we have our money, so you are free! You must leave town of course and give us control of your other interests. But you, your families, no one will die. This is fair!
Lance Vance: Fair? Oh yeah - If you think getting screwed in the ass, then getting paid for it is fair. Then it sounds like a great deal.
Armando Mendez: I find your attitude and your language terribly distasteful. Maricon.
Victor Vance: Hold on, now, hey, listen - Mr. Mendez, I, WE have done a lot of things for you. We kept the end of our barging and now you want us give up our interests?
Armando Mendez: You came to my town, you run around like a maniac. You bring the police and the DEA into my life, and now I want you gone.
Victor Vance: Hey, I made a ton of money for you, money I didn't lose.
Armando Mendez: And now your done. You're obsolete.
Lance Vance: ARRRGGGHH. Look out Vic - the mute.
(Victor and Lance wake up at Viceport, Mendez goons arrive.)
Victor Vance: Arghhh, where are we?
Lance Vance: No place good, I think we outlived our usefulness to the Mendez's.
Mendez goon #1: YOU! Shut up!
Mendez goon #2: Hey, they're waking up - let's get this done quick!
Lance Vance: Screw this!
Mendez goon #3: DIE! [goes up in flames.] ARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!
Lance Vance: VIC! I'M TRAPPED - GET ME OUT OF HERE! I'm not supposed to die like this.
(Victor shoots all the velvets and escapes with Lance.)
Lance Vance: Come on man! Let's go. WOOO-HEEEE, now that's what I'm talking about!
(Victor and Lance escape the explosion.)
Victor Vance: Great, now we're at war with the Mendez brothers.
Lance Vance: It's all cool, bro. I'm a man with a plan. Just give me a little time.
Upon completing this mission you wont get any money but if you hadn't picked up your weapons you'll lose them.

When he became a father, Michael Lewis found himself expected to feel things that he didn't feel, and to do things that he couldn't see the point of doing. At first this made him feel guilty, until he realized that all around him fathers were pretending to do one thing, to feel one way, when in fact they felt and did all sorts of things, then engaged in what amounted to an extended cover-up. Lewis decided to keep a written record of what actually happened immediately after the birth of each of his three children. This book is that record. But it is also something else: maybe the funniest, most unsparing account of ordinary daily household life ever recorded from the point of view of the man inside. The remarkable thing about this story isn't that Lewis is so unusual. It's that he is so typical. The only wonder is that his wife has allowed him to publish it.

I want to write a program to find out what resources an IIS server has and how many hits are there on each resource. The resource can be anything from a html page to files like sound clips, pictures , etc. I want to find out a list of all these resources and then i got to calculate the traffic as well. So can this be done without using any existing tool. I am not allowing myself to use any tools. I looked into WMI classes, but they do not give very detailed data like i want. I also thought about using ISAPI Filters to log each request. But i am finding it very difficult to learn. So is that a good way to go ? or shall i look at some thing else ?
How can i programmatically find out how many resources a IIS server has and the traffic on each resource .. etc
f you were to use existing tools, you would need to find all DocRoot and Virtual Directories and then enumerate them (to list all the resources), and then use LogParser (or something like it) to count the hits. Using an ISAPI filter to log hits would be silly, since IIS already does that part for you
If you're going to write this all yourself, then you would do the same thing but without using LogParser. Will you allow yourself to use 3rd-party libraries? What is the purpose of doing this yourself? Is it just for a learning exercise?

Y'all. The One Day project turned into an event. I loved every second of it.
In a way, social media (the truly social kind) is all about sharing the mundane parts of your day. But for some reason, this really felt different. The pictures took it up a notch. Everyone participating at the same time gave it extra excitement.
Just for one day, I was aware of my every move. My brain clicked along with "how can I document this?" and while this could get real tiresome real fast, for one day it felt good. Like I was really living in the moment, as they say. It wasn't a perfect day, it definitely wasn't a perfect representation of my life every single day. There were many things I missed capturing, and many things that weren't necessarily normal about that 24 hours. I guess this is why doing a Week In the Life is a better slice. That way you could capture a date night and also an evening in. You could show different outfits and different meals and get a much bigger picture. But, for what it was, it was great.
I was blown away by the participation. As of now, there are over 1,200 pictures in the Instagram hashtag, and at least 30 people have linked up their posts or pictures on the One Day post. I haven't made it through all of them yet, but I will. The linky will be live until the end of the weekend, for those who still want to link up. You guys just ROCKED it, and I was giddy watching the pictures flood in all day. It seemed like the momentum built and more people jumped in as the day went on. It was just really, really fun.
I may have to do another one down the road.
I'm throwing a party! If I have any say about it, I'll be throwing several parties in 2013, in LA, Oklahoma, Texas, and who knows where else! I want you to be on my party list. You don't have to be a mom or a blogger. But if you're interested in the types of things I post here at HH, you might be interested in attending one of these events.
To be on the Hollywood Housewife party list, fill out the form here.
While you're clicking around, make sure you enter the Lisa Leonard giveaway for a gift certificate or the tiny twig necklace identical to the one I'm wearing in this picture. Giveaway ends tonight!
Last self-promotion: I wrote about Fall Decor That Works Through the Holidays. This is because I'm a lazy holiday decorator. There, I said it.
I really want people to go click through the linked-up One Day-ers, but I do have just another couple of things for your weekend reading pleasure:
To New Writers, With Love by Beth Moore is just too good not to share. This is a Christian perspective, but I think any writer would take away something from it.
Do you know Spaghetti Eddie? My kids LOVE Spaghetti Eddie. They're running a KickStarter campaign to bring this music to a different level. Check it out.
Love these Decorating Ideas for a 3-Year-Old Girl's Room. (Who doesn't love a good before & after?) (Tiny Oranges)
How useful is THIS: 101 Holiday Gift Ideas for Boys. (Mom Generations)
We've changed our weekend plans at the last minute. We're opting for something a little quieter. Quiet is good.
Happy weekend, HH readers!

Every time New York Fashion Week rolls around, I wait with bated breath for the shoes at Marchesa. The reason for that, of course, is that it's none other than Christian Louboutin who's behind those shoes every season, and at the Marchesa show, we get something of a sneak peek at where his collection's going for the season. The embellishments, colors and materials are tailored to the Marchesa clothing, but the shapes and structures are generally those seen throughout the Louboutin line.
Notably, for Christian Louboutin x Marchesa Fall 2013, there were no platforms. There will be some in Louboutin's full collection, of course, but trends are tending toward single-sole options, and it seems as though a number of the designer's seasonal pieces will bow to the demand for those shapes from consumers. The trend for minimal strappy sandals is also apparent, although the versions done in velvet and metallic leathers for Marchesa probably aren't the most minimal ones you'll see. My favorites, though, are the embroidered mesh booties. I feel as though the reasons are obvious.

TUCSON, Ariz. ?- The University of Arizona shot a three-under par 285 total and finished in third place Friday at the John A. Burns Intercollegiate in Wahiawa, Hawaii.
Only one Arizona golfer shot better than par in Friday's final round as the Wildcats posted a three-round total of 838 (-26).

Senior Nathan Lashley also shot an even-par 72 and finished a tie for 17th place. UNLV's Ryan Moore captured individual medalist honors with a 22-under 196 total.

Also competing for the Wildcats was sophomore Mark Lamb, who participated as an individual. Lamb tied for 28th place at three-under 213 after shooting a two-under 70 on Friday.

Jenelle Evans is under fire for her latest beach outing.
Over the weekend, just one week after giving birth to her son Kaiser, the "Teen Mom 2" star surfaced on the beaches of South Carolina and was nearly immediately slammed by critics who felt it was way too soon for Evans to be leaving her son.
In response, Evans posted a message to fans on Twitter on July 8.
"It's none of yr business where I go or what I do with my newborn son," she wrote. "Lmao so immature, half of u don't even have children of yr own!"
On Monday, Us Weekly reported that Evans had gone to the beach with her oldest son, Jace, for some one-on-time, but still, fans weren't impressed and felt that Evans should be staying put since her newborn is so young.
Either way, Evans doesn't care what her haters think and plans to keep doing what she feels is best for her situation.
In just under two weeks, fans will get reacquainted with Evans and her new family on the second half of the fifth season of "Teen Mom 2."
On the show, fans will watch as Evans and Griffith prepare for the arrival of baby Kaiser and juggle Griffith's legal drama. As fans have likely heard, Griffith was charged with a DUI in Sept. 2013 after he and Evans spent a night out partying. During the arrest, Griffith and Evans reportedly claimed they were trying to have sex. Whatever the case, Griffith was arrested and taken to jail, and now, he's facing time behind bars.
"Teen Mom 2" season 5B premieres on July 16 at 10 p.m. on MTV.

I have three servers in a HA group (Xen 6.2). I've been doing some firmware updates which require rebooting so I've been shuffling VMs around to minimize disruption. One of the VMs seems to have gotten unhappy when it was moved.

Internal error: Object with type VM and id <UUID>/vbd.xvdb does not exist in xenopsd
Followed by:
There were no servers available to complete the specified operation
When all the servers are up and running - tried to restart said VM using XenCenter. Got this error message:
Object has been deleted.VDI:OpaqueRef:NULL (with an entry for each server)
Wondering if this is recoverable somehow... and how to avoid it in the future...

May 29, 2014 | Vol. 118 -- No. 6
The UFC recently signed a fighter named Dashon "Fly Boy" Johnson, a 26-year-old prospect from California with a 9-0 record — eight of those victories being submissions or knockouts — who will face Jake "The Celtic Kid" Matthews, 4-0, in June.
