INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - Stocks rose in January, which is a good sign for the rest of the year. Jay Kaeppel, author of Seasonal Stock Market Trends, reports that the average annualized return for the eleven months after a strong January is 11.8 percent. That's well above the 1.9 average annualized return after a down January.
January wasn't just an up month, it jumped an amazing 5.04 percent! What does such a strong advance mean from here on out? Wayne Whaley, author of Wayne Whaley Newsletter, found that since 1950 there were eighteen cases where the market advanced by at least four percent in January. In each case the market extended its gains through August, with an average gain of 9.7 percent.
Of closer interest is what typically happens in February after an exceptionally strong January. Most would except a down February because the market was "overbought" or went "too far, too fast." Historical results say otherwise, however. Of the eighteen cases when stocks rose four percent or more in January, the market continued to advance in February two-thirds of the time.
The most bullish statistic is what happens to the market for the three months after a strong January. Looking once again at the eighteen cases, the market returned 9.38 percent on average from February through April. That's nearly a year's historical return.
These are only statistics and they are based on a small sample size. Nevertheless, a good fundamental case can be made for higher prices and it is the case I've discussed before. Namely, there is no alternative to stocks for growth and fewer alternatives even for income.
Cash pays nothing. Treasury funds are losing value. Some preferred stocks are still attractive, but the list is getting smaller. Real estate? It's not a practical investment for most people. Commodities? Same thing. The lack of an alternative to stocks trumps all.

I value my head. It's great for hanging hats. Therefore, most times I cycle, I wear a helmet. If you are new to the cycling scene you may be wondering how to choose a bicycle helmet to suit you and if it's worth splashing out on the more expensive ones (hint: usually its not!)
Here's a quick run down of what to look for and some of the models I would highly recommend.
3 Things to Look for When Buying a Cycle Helmet
When choosing a bicycle helmet you mainly want to look at three things. Price, fit and keeping cool. Okay, and a forth thing, looking cool. Starting with price. This can go up to around £150 and as low as £25. The truth helmet manufacturers don't want you to know is you will receive most of the benefit with a cheaper helmet as you will with a more expensive one. At least when it comes to protection. However, spending more money should keep your head cooler and provide more comfort.
Fitting a Bicycle Helmet
You will want to fit the helmet correctly because it will provide far better protection and it will feel more comfortable. A properly fitted bicycle helmet will reach about halfway down your forehead and will cover a good part of the back of your head. The more it covers the better.
The strap should fit closely under the chin and should form a v-shape around the ears. Not all bicycle helmets are born the same and some will fit better than others. After you have tried one and tightened it make sure it does not wobble.
The best bet is to go into a bike shop and try the helmet first. One will fit more comfortably than others. Ideally ask an assistant in the shop to fit the helmet for you. Alternatively, if buying online, make sure you measure your head correctly as instructed by the manufacturer.
(View all the cycling accessory guides such as this one)
Bycle Helmet in Light Colours
Lighter colours can be seen by other road users so go for brighter colours (one of the ones I have recommended below even has lights behind the straps). You should aim to buy a helmet with a rounded outer shell so there is nowhere for the helmet to get caught in a fall.
Keeping Cool in Your Cycle Helmet
In terms of keeping cool as you would expect more air vents equal more cooling of the head. However, more air vents also means that there is less of the padding to protect your head. You should pick a trade-off between the two.
As for weight? This doesn't tend to be an issue as the majority of helmets weigh less than 300 grams.
(How to choose the best bike lock and not waste money)
Popular Bicycle Helmet Models
Well reviewed and fairly cheap bicycle helmet. Provides good ventilation and back-of-the-head adjustment. Great for anyone who is just getting started and would rather not spend too much.
At around £45 this midrange bicycle helmet is perfect for commuting and riding in the city. It's one of the best helmets for keeping your head cool and it also comes with reflective lights at the back of the straps. An all round excellent helmet that I could not recommend more.
This top of the range helmet is good enough for Lance and its definitely more than good enough for everyday cyclists. It has received great reviews and I found it at a surprisingly good price at Wiggle.

Kansas City Star
Your résumé may land you an interview, but your references can seal the deal.
The reference-checking firm Allison & Taylor, which works for both employers and job hunters, says the strength of your references will separate you from other candidates.
The firm suggests:
• Provide the names, current job titles, company affiliations and phone number(s) of your references. If hirers have trouble finding your references, they're likely to move on to the next candidate.
Include a "frame of reference" sentence such as, "I was his direct report for six years, and he can tell about my key contributions to an information technology project that saved the company $3 million."
• List references only who have agreed to be references and who you know will say positive things about you.
(If you're not sure what they'll say, you can hire a firm such as Allison & Taylor to make calls to find out.)
• It's OK to use peers or subordinates as references. It's OK, too, to leapfrog over your direct supervisor if someone higher on the corporate ladder will be more complimentary.
Prospective employers frequently encounter supervisors who say they can share only basic "name, rank and serial number" information. Other colleagues may be more likely to speak freely.
• Change your references to best fit the exact job you're aiming to get, particularly if you've had a varied career.
If you're trying to get back into retailing, for example, it may be better to list a reference from the retail job you held 15 years ago than to list recent associates who can't vouch for your retail or customer service skills.
• As a courtesy, call your references after you've had interviews. Let them know they may hear from potential employers. Be sure to thank them and let them know if your status changes.
• Make sure your references agree with the facts you've put on your résumé.
If your résumé says you were "office manager" but your former boss describes you as "my secretary," it could give the impression that you were improperly inflating your credentials.

West Seneca
The Town Board has an ambitious day planned Monday with a 3 p.m. work session to be followed by the town's regularly scheduled 7 p.m. board meeting at West Seneca Town Hall, 1250 Union Road.
Included on the evening's agenda will be the appointment of a part-time recreation director as well as the awarding of a bid for work at the West Seneca library and a pair of local laws, one governing storm water management and the other involving regulating peddling in town.
Details about the proposed hiring of a new recreation director were not available on the Town Board agenda.
S&T Enterprises Inc. of Angola is expected to get the $16,500 contract to repair and replace sidewalks as part of a concrete project at the library, which will be funded through a grant and budgetary appropriations.
The section of the town code dealing with "maintenance, inspection and repair of storm water facilities" in town is being modified or recast to assure inspection requirements for storm water discharges from construction projects comply with the state Department of Environmental Conservation permits and that, where applicable, engineering reports are furnished to the town.
The law governing peddling and soliciting would be modified by the town to cover "services" as well as goods, wares or merchandise and would also prohibit anyone from engaging in operating "a transient retail business" along with soliciting or peddling within West Seneca without a license.
Also this week:
• West Senior High's musical "All Shook Up!" runs from Wednesday through Saturday at 7 p.m. in the high school's auditorium, 3330 Seneca St. Tickets are $10. There is also a bargain 1 p.m. Saturday matinee scheduled for $7.
• A new exhibit, "Traditional Seneca Lifeways" will open this week at the Charles E. Burchfield Nature & Art Center, 2001 Union Road. The show, by local visual artist Brendalee Piccione, will begin Wednesday and run through March 3 with a public opening reception at 2 p.m. next Sunday. The Burchfield's current exhibit, Historic Gardenville, ends today. The center is open today from 1-4 p.m.

COLUMBIA — There was no joy in Steve Spurrier's voice Saturday. His postgame mood revealed more pain than pleasure, the kind of frustration often seen in the losing team's locker room.
Spurrier stared at the stat sheet in front of him, picking over all the negatives. They were easy to find. The Gamecocks converted only one third down in 11. They had almost half the first downs as Mississippi State. Fewer yards. Less time of possession.
"Overall, we were very sorry," Spurrier said. "Mississippi State had a good plan. They got the best of our offense, probably, today."
Except, Mississippi State didn't get the best of South Carolina. Far from it.
Ten minutes earlier, the No. 14 Gamecocks had walked off the field with a 34-16 win. Before a homecoming crowd of 82,111, they made it look easy. How dominant was South Carolina's blowout? At one point, it outscored Mississippi State 34-3. By the fourth quarter, USC's sixth announced sellout of the season began thinning out, fans free to celebrate with no concern for the final 15 minutes.
It was the Gamecocks' 15th straight home win, tying a program record and extending the nation's second-longest streak, behind Michigan (19).
Yet, they were sorry. Expectations have risen at South Carolina (7-2, 5-2 SEC East). Two straight 11-win seasons will do that. Four straight wins against Clemson will do that. Beating lowly Mississippi State (4-4, 1-3 SEC West) without playing to an optimal level reveals that.
"It is a team sport and our special teams played well, and our defense played very well. Got all those turnovers that sort of set us up," Spurrier said. "… They stopped us. Just give those guys credit. They were a little bit better in that area, but we still won the game. Sometimes, you need to win that way. We're a pretty good team."
With the win, the Gamecocks ensured their miraculous comeback last week at Missouri would not be wasted. They are still in the heat of the SEC East race, needing Georgia and Missouri to lose once more. They have become a perennial divisional contender after years of being stuck on the bottom.
Across the field, USC saw the team it used to be not too long ago. MSU bumbled and fumbled itself out of competitiveness, turning the ball over five times. The Gamecocks scored 20 points off those turnovers, more than enough to win the game outright on its own.
When MSU's offense was on the field, the only thing missing was a circus-themed music.
"Turnovers were the story of the game," MSU coach Dan Mullen said.
The Gamecocks' defense recovered from a sloppy start. The Bulldogs marched 60 yards on their opening drive, taking an early 7-0 lead. From that moment, MSU was held to 325 yards and nine points.
USC junior spur Sharrod Golightly said it was the defense's best game of the season. Like his boss, defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward expected more.
"I try to put my finger on why sometimes we start slow," Ward said. "We addressed it the last couple weeks. … That's been a focus for us. I don't know if it's having a lot of players, and they're over emotional, and things get going early. When they settle down, we're better. We've just got to come out, stay focused and not try to do too much early."
The slow start wasn't much of a surprise. All the requisites for a classic trap game hovered over South Carolina's football team this week.
The Gamecocks had an early kickoff against an inferior opponent seven days after an emotional, historic win at Missouri. They had a bye week next. The H word was mentioned often in Columbia this week.
Hangover. Not homecoming.
It wasn't USC's best game, but it was easily good enough. It had everything a fan would want at homecoming. Sophomore running back Mike Davis crossed the 1,000-yard mark on the season in the third quarter. Senior quarterback Connor Shaw tied a career high with four touchdown passes.
Maybe Spurrier was caught on the negatives. His counterpart walked away impressed.
"It's an early kickoff and it's a sold-out game, not an empty seat in the house all the way through the fourth quarter," Mullen said. "Their fans are making noise and cheering their team on. They've established and built a program here, and it's something that we're trying to catch up to.
"We need to have the same atmosphere as they do right here, week in and a week out, for all four quarters and create a hostile environment. It forces other teams into making mistakes, and that's how you win at home and become a contender in the SEC."

We have been waiting a while to show you guys the Deadlywind Fusion Apex2 Adapter, and now we can!
In this video, we show you how to use the Deadlywind Fusion Apex2 Adapter, which is super easy, not only on Deadlywind barrels, but also Shaft4 Eclipse barrels and more! With this adapter, you don't have to keep your Apex permanently attached to your barrel tip and can quickly and easily slide it on and off when you want to use it. This is a very cool product and we are really excited to share it with you.
The Fusion from Deadlywind is a tool-less adapter for mounting an Apex2 tip onto the end of a Fibur, Whip Tip, or Null barrel. The tool-less quick clamping method of the Fusion compliments the Apex2 tool-less design. This is only the adapter. You will need the tip from an Apex2 barrel and either a Fibur or Null barrel to mount it to. The Null version includes a removable sizer ring to fit the smaller Null barrel. It is backwards compatible with the Fibur. The Fusion + Apex2 tip will add 3″ total length to the end of your barrel. So if you have a 12″ Fibur, this setup will make it 15″ long tip to tail. Combine with the Deadlywind Reskin for the ultimate Apex2 DW package.
If you want to check out our Apex review, here it is for your watching pleasure:

One barrier to collaboration is worrying that if someone has a better idea it means you're not smart, competent, skilled, etc. An atmosphere where everyone, top to bottom, is allowed to be wrong and have a lot of bad ideas is huge.
Management and staff should lead by example and teach the benefits of collaboration. Collaboration should be taught as "the way" not "a way" for operational thinking and doing. Incentives should be used to encourage that culture. Employees should be hired with a non-adverse attitude toward open communication and collaboration. Managers should embrace and lead by the collaboration example.
...even if those ideas ultimately fail. People are afraid to stick their necks out and try new things, but often collaboration requires the freedom to fail (without getting canned).
Like this one damned project manager I had who was always critical of my guys trying anything new. That was a killer for collaboration in our team.
I agree with Jim. Designing an environment where it is okay to experiment and take chances. An incubator that provides a buffer from the bottom line. And then one day a radical 'success' will contribute to that bottom line.
Honda actually has a nice series of videos about failure
I'd also recommend http://www.amazon.com/Engineer-Human-Failure-Successful-Design/dp/067973...
On some teams you may find that there's one person putting forth most of the ideas. In order to encourage collaboration, companies need to encourage everyone to input their ideas. Like the age old suggestion box, companies can create intranets or portals where they can announce plans for a particular project and ask for anonymous input via some web form. In addition to this, forming a task force to discuss possible directions would also be good. These two things provides the less outspoken folks a place to submit inputs and also a place that encourages open discussion.
I think its better to see on the efficiency of the people before expecting great result.

To the Editor In a recent report, Xiao et al1 discuss the outcome of the National Institutes of Health (NIH)–AARP Diet and Health Study, which evaluated the role of calcium intake on cardiovascular health. The outcome of the study revealed that intake of 1000 mg/d of supplemental calcium was associated with significant increase in cardiovascular mortality in men but not in women.
Arterial calcification is an actively regulated process with a key function for the vitamin K–dependent matrix Gla protein (MGP).2 Mature MGP is a powerful inhibitor of soft-tissue calcification and is abundantly expressed by vascular smooth muscle cells. The vitamin K–dependent step in MGP synthesis is the carboxylation of 5 glutamate residues into γ-carboxyglutamate (Gla), which are essential for MGP's calcification inhibitory activity. In healthy adults, at least 20% of plasma MGP occurs in the uncarboxylated, inactive form. Conformation-specific assays have demonstrated that circulating uncarboxylated MGP has a high predictive value for cardiovascular and overall mortality.2,3 Moreover, several independent population-based studies have shown that dietary vitamin K2 intake is inversely associated with cardiovascular disease and mortality.

Italian singer to sing Piaf
LORETTO - Italian musical performer Clelia Cicero will perform songs by Edith Piaf, with Neter Calafati playing guitar and singing at 7:30 p.m. Monday at St. Francis University in the John F. Kennedy Center lounge.
Cicero was born in Parma, Italy, and started her musical journey with theater. She attended the Theater School of Bologna, "Alessandra Galante Garrone," for two years. After graduation, Cicero mentored under Argentinian director Cesar Brie, and joined his group of actors who performed in Italy and throughout the world. In October 2011, Cicero designed and developed an acoustic duo "Premiere Etude sur Piaf" (A Study of Piaf). This study was created from her great passion for Edit Piaf. To Cicero, Piaf represents the extraordinary communicative power that singing has.
Cicero and Calafati designed the concert to entertain an audience with a series of Piaf's varied songs within new, original arrangements via the style of swing manouche (gipsy) guitar. Cicero is able to take these songs and return a voice that is pure and dynamic, to a simple, earlier interpretation.
The free concert is open to the public. The audience is advised to wear appropriate attire for an upscale nightclub setting.
The concert is sponsored by the university's fine arts department.

Location: New Zealand
Organization: School of Forestry, University of Canterbury
New Zealand's dryland zone contains some of the country's most endangered ecosystems and is also the least well protected. Natural regeneration of native forest and shrubland species is often limited by several environmental and anthropic factors that affect the establishment and growth of seedlings. This research is focusing on better understanding some of these factors and how they can be manipulated to enhance restoration success in New Zealand's South Island's dryland zone, all of which were previously farmed and are now dominated by a rank growth of exotic grasses, weeds, alien mammals that browse on native plants, and have extremely dry and compacted soils likely caused by decades of intensive farming and grazing.
A combination of grass removal (cultivation, mulch, and herbicide) and shade treatments were established at the Rank Grass sites (two in the north Canterbury and one site in the Mackenzie Basin). Two other different trials were established in the Mackenzie Basin, one combining irrigation and shade, and another testing grazing and shade effect on the degraded short tussock landscape. The experiments' objective was to assess the environmental factors that may be limiting the growth and survival of native woody seedlings in these areas.
Seedling survival, growth (Relative Height Increment, RHI) and physiological responses were followed for two growing seasons (summers of 2012/2013 and 2013/2014) along with soil physical and chemical properties. Large seedlings (20-40 cm tall) had higher survival rates than small seedlings (< 5 cm) at all study sites. Number of survivors was above 75% for large seedlings and below 15% for small seedlings at the end of the experiment. Though the plants' responses to the treatments varied among the four species chosen for the experiment, in general, the shaded treatments had the highest survival rates and RHI in all five trials. Physiological measurements corroborated the RHI values, indicating that the plants in the shaded plots were also more photosynthetically efficient (mean Y-values > 600). These results suggest that soil-water deficit is the major ecological threshold preventing the establishment of native tree seedlings in those areas, which is aggravated by direct solar radiation, consequently high evaporation levels and soil compaction. Competition between native and exotic plants for this resource aggravates soil-water deficit.

One of my friends recently posted a picture on Facebook of a plastic baby spoon her husband had been using to stir his coffee.
Her baby, like mine, is 8 and she speculated when the baby stuff would completely disappear from the house.
I laughed because I have that same spoon in my silverware drawer and it never even occurred to me to get rid of it.
I am always looking to purge our house of items that have been outgrown. I embraced getting rid of babyhood monstrosities like the music-playing (and possibly possessed) walk-around activity center.
I didn't weep over donating the swing and high chair to a fundraising garage sale.
Good riddance.
Yet ever since my friend mentioned it, I've realized that our house is still marked with the trappings of babyhood.
For instance, accompanying the baby spoons, we have a selection of fine dining melamine tableware. My kids are capable of using regular dishes without breakage and we usually do, but the other ones are in the cupboard. I think I keep them around subconsciously because it always makes me smile to see my husband eating an English muffin off of a Disney princess plate.
Many of our outlets are still covered as well. This is probably because those blasted plastic plugs are so hard to get out.
My cleaning frequency (or lack thereof) was directly influenced by the fact that I rarely felt like getting out a butter knife to pry those little suckers off just so I could plug in the vacuum.
We also have cabinet locks on some of our cupboards. Not all of them. Just enough to keep you guessing. A couple have broken and have a sharp wire protruding, which either scratches your legs or snags your pants.
I guess they add an element of danger and a whole other level of protection, but I'm not sure why they are still there.
I realize too, that my behavior contains remnants of my kiddos' early childhoods.
Before kids, I rarely carried a purse. I carried everything I needed in a wallet or my pockets.
Then I had kids and was introduced to the wonder of the diaper bag. While I don't lug a diaper bag around anymore, I am now a card-carrying member of the Mary Poppins bag society.
And for some reason, I still feel obligated to announce to my family that I am going to use the bathroom.
Previously, my children apparently feared abandonment and would immediately panic and organize a search party if I retreated behind a locked door without sufficient warning.
Now, I could go grocery shopping and they probably wouldn't notice, but old habits diehard.
I'm not sure if I hold on to these things because of nostalgia or laziness or both. Nevertheless, they serve as testimony to how parenting has changed my household and my life.
Now excuse me while I go eat lunch out of the Strawberry Shortcake bowl.
Jaymi Anderson is married with two daughters. Read her Fridays on Greeley Moms.
I think I keep them around subconsciously because it always makes me smile to see my husband eating an English muffin off of a Disney princess plate.

Higher education usually leads to more income and often a better quality of life for those who benefit from it. And as Ohio officials understand, a higher percentage of college graduates should improve the entire state's economy.
But getting more Buckeye State residents into higher education does not appear to be the problem. Instead, it is getting more out with degrees.
Fewer than half those who enroll in Ohio public colleges and universities emerge with degrees. For various reasons, the others drop out before completing their educations.
That has contributed to the state's distressingly low percentage of working-age men and women who have bachelor's degrees or better. The percentage in Ohio is just 26, compared to the national rate of 31 percent.
Buckeye State higher education leaders are being asked to develop better methods of retaining students until they graduate. State Board of Regents Chancellor Jim Petro wants the task completed by mid-November.
Retention is not a new concern in higher education. College and university administrators use a variety of methods to keep students in school. And Ohio is not alone in having a dismal success rate.
Obviously, the challenge is complex. Part of the solution involves ensuring students who register for college classes are ready for them. That means public schools must become more effective in giving diploma holders the tools they need to succeed in colleges, universities or trade schools.
At the same time, institutions of higher education need to find better ways of keeping students, regardless of their abilities on entrance, from dropping out.
Again, higher education is not just a matter of improving Ohio's economy. It is one of bettering the lives of hundreds of thousands of families - and that alone is reason enough to make the campaign a priority at all levels of education in the Buckeye State.

Three men were arrested Tuesday on federal charges of selling phony identification documents, U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul Jr. announced.
Xavier Gonzalez, 26, and Mario Soto, 37, were arrested in the Buffalo area. Jorge Garcia, 36, was taken into custody in Texas and will be returned to Buffalo. Their cases are unrelated, Hochul said.
Gonzalez and Garcia were charged with selling more than five sets of identification documents to a federal informant. Soto was charged with selling a Social Security card.
Gonzalez and Soto appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeremiah J. McCarthy and were released on bond.

Growing up in the 1970s, it was impossible, even in upstate New York, not to hear or know about Ed Koch. He was larger than life.
My earliest memory of Koch was seeing him on the evening news, walking across the Brooklyn Bridge during a transit strike like a band leader, urging New Yorkers on their way to work to stand firm, be tough, and carry on.
Several years later, the popular mayor ran for governor against a little-known (and, according to Gov. Hugh Carey, undistinguished) lieutenant governor, Mario Cuomo. Koch was supposed to win the Democratic primary. Everyone said so, including early poll numbers. He had money, key endorsements and the voter base of one of the nation's largest cities.
One key misstep, however, ended his chances. Koch lamented out loud he'd be bored in Albany if elected. There wasn't much to do for someone who loved the arts and good food. He even fretted about finding one good Chinese restaurant. Nor was Koch sure he wanted to live in the Executive Mansion in a lifeless neighborhood.
Cuomo, who adopted as his unofficial campaign theme song "Eye of the Tiger," pounced like cat on a spring day cooped up all winter. Cuomo's slogan was, thanks to Koch's passionate love affair with New York City, "Cuomo Loves NY—All of It."
In an upset, Cuomo won the primary and went on to defeat Republican nominee Lew Lehrman by two points. I remember watching Koch on Election Night. He was disappointed, but New York City's greatest champion also seemed relieved.
Koch was a loveable character with the endearing quality of a quirky uncle. He had restaurant tips, knew the best delis and offered opinions about theater and the latest movies, especially after he left office.
A Broadway musical was made about the bald, big eared mayor. His legacy may eclipse the revered, legendary Fiorello La Guardia, remembered for racing to fires and reading the Sunday morning comics on the radio.
Those old enough remember a very different New York when Koch took office than what exists today. During weekend trips in high school and college, I recall a place marred by crime, graffiti, low morale and blocks of strip clubs and porn theater palaces. It was Koch who set in motion New York's renewal, further developed by Rudy Giuliani. Koch's legacy not only had a profound impact on the city but also the state as a whole.
The man who very ably ran a diverse and vibrant city could not understand the majesty and grandeur that is the Empire State. He understood the heartbeat of a complicated place where every ethnic group is represented and the languages spoken number in the hundreds. He ran New York for what it was, is, and always will be—the crossroads of the world.
Yet Koch's world didn't exist much beyond the borscht belt in the Catskills just north of New York City. And that's the irony.
Unlike many states and communities, once you're a resident of New York City, you're a New Yorker. It's the city's lifeblood, a phoenix always changing, coming back bigger and better. It thrives on differences and colorful personalities.
He may not have realized it, but Ed Koch told every American, whether from the hills of Kentucky or the cornfields of Iowa, that his city was as much theirs as his. It was not just the meeting place of the world, it was the face of America where everyone was welcomed and everyone's contribution made New York great.
Koch was America's mayor.

8 Fictional Weapons That Are Too Dangerous to Actually Use
#4. Masamune Sword
People mock Cloud's Buster Sword from Final Fantasy VII for being unwieldy and having a ridiculously high center of gravity. Because that's why taking up a sword against tanks is a bad idea.
Square Enix
He uses his hair to sharpen the sword, and vice versa.
If you're going to attack giant robotic Ultima-beam-blasting dragon-centaurs with a pointy bit of metal, it needs to at least ignore physics. Anything realistic can't touch an enemy like that. The real stupidest sword belonged to Auron in Final Fantasy X. That was a game about dreams of family dancing to let the souls of loved ones rest in peace, and Auron is how they prevented the discs from spontaneously turning into lace doilies. He was so tough that he died but refused to fade away until he had killed the immortal wizard who was responsible, and the fact that the wizard was already dead didn't stop him. He's more badass than a sumo bathroom after all-you-can-eat chili night.
Square Enix
The only man to make "the Napoleon" look intimidating. Including Napoleon.
He starts the game with what looks like a fruit knife, albeit a fruit knife in a world where bears have been misclassified as fruit. His unlockable Celestial Weapon is the Masamune.
Square Enix
You know Final Fantasy has gotten ridiculous about hairstyles when even the swords have split ends. That's not a sword -- those are the tongs they'll forge when they work out that the materia rocks constantly glowing and shooting flame and lightning are radioactive. That looks better for removing an Orc's wisdom teeth than its head. The only enemies that would inconvenience are the ones who can't commute to the battle because you're holding their train's transmission linkage.
Square Enix
It was also in Final Fantasy X-2, because everything terrible about Final Fantasy was in X-2.
The world has a thousand different styles of sword, and the only thing they all agree on is that it has to be a big piece of metal and you don't split it down the middle. The end of the Masamune is cored out and bent and has sharp angles. They couldn't make a sword break faster if they used it to stab Bruce Banner.
#3. Cyborg Arm
Robotic arms are the ultimate extension of weightlifting, turning human beings directly into forklifts and expecting people to be impressed. They're often used when they want to make a character a cyborg but leave him mostly human and relatable. Which is pointless, because RoboCop scientifically proved that the only thing you need to make everyone in the world love you is a chin.
He's not the happiest looking man in the world ...
... but everyone thinks he's pleased to see them.
But RoboCop is perfect. The problems start when you only convert a single limb. The first problem with a bionic arm is that you'll look like a wanker despite that now being a dangerous extreme sport for you.
His right hand is his wife. No, really. As in "the plot of this game is REALLY stupid."
When robotic superstrength meets human fleshbag, it ends the same way, no matter whose side the robot started on: blood-soaked machinery and a leaking bag. If the Bionic Commando fires his grappling hand at a faraway tree and winches in the cable, that tree is now one arm richer, while the commando formerly known as bionic bleeds out on the ground. If you tell your bionic arm to lift a 10-ton weight, it grips and bends, and the 10-ton weight and your shoulder blade have a very brief tug of war about who's more likely to get ripped out of what. Even if you lift it by some miracle, that's the first miracle ending in paralysis, as every non-bionic part of your body collapses under the weight. To give you a bionic limb working beyond human ability, they'd have to upgrade so much of the rest of your body that it'd be faster for them to just build a brand new robot and give it your driver's license.
#2. Cobra Knife
If you've ever wanted to win a fight with an Australian, here's how you do it.
JM Distributors
That's not a knife, because THIS STABBED YOUR KNIFE-GODS, YOU HAVE ONLY BLUNT METAL NOW.
The '80s action movie Cobra created the most insane knife ever for their insane psycho killer, and in a terrifying crossover with another type of '80s movie plot, this knife escaped into the real world. Seriously. Hollywood designed a lunatic knife for a character called the Night Slasher, real live people said, "I want that," and capitalism worked out the exact exchange rate of cash to innocent lives by selling it to them.
That's a gutting knife with a ripping hook connected to brass knuckles studded with punch-spikes. That's not a product description, that's how you try to get Pinhead hot with dirty talk. That's blades in so many directions, it repels vampires for 10 miles, and the Zerg obey whoever holds it.
This is a custom stabber's weapon. Not stabbing: stabber. It's designed to be utterly unsheathable. Even attempting to put it down is taking the life of your hands into your hands. That's a knife for someone who never, ever needs their right hand for anything but slashing. Fortunately, holding it instantly warns the entire world to keep out of slashing range. If police see you holding one, I think they're allowed to call in an airstrike. If you hold this, you're not hunting monsters, you are the monster, and you have at most 90 minutes before a cop leaps right over the edge to exterminate you.
The light saber is how you swashbuckle on a starship without too many people calling bullshit. It can cut through anything and blocks incoming fire with a combination of Jedi foresight, trained reflexes, and hoping no one discovers shotguns or any other weapon that can fire blasts wider than two centimeters.
"Hope don't run into redneck, do I."
The double-ended light saber is like the double-ended sex toy: both people involved are screwed. Even the most basic move disembowels at least one person. Obi-Wan Kenobi didn't really cut Darth Maul in half, it was just the Force balancing how it should have happened the first time he twirled his double light saber staff. Then Sith Asajj Ventress thought, "Those aren't stupid enough yet."
That looks like a late night infomercial for "Light sabering made easy!"
Her curved handles can be locked together.
LucasArts, Del Rey
The only thing that shape is good for is hand-cranking a car.
The light sabers could only be more difficult and less appealing to grip if Jabba the Hutt swallowed them.
But the paired sabers could be unlocked, linked by a fiber cable, and whipped around as light-saber-chucks. If my father had known about that, he could have skipped the whole birds and bees talk. That phrase would have taken priority.
This is the best picture available, as every other shot ended with half a camera.
If anyone saw a problem with whipping things around controlled only by a cable when their one and only function is "cuts through everything, including cables," they were too busy with a faceful of light saber to say anything. Luckily, the Star Wars universe has the one monster you could safely use these against. Just fall into the Sarlacc pit, remind Boba Fett that he has a jet pack so that he can get out, and twirl away. That way it can safely digest the newly bite-sized idiot chunks to remove all evidence of your stupidity.
Luke loves his insane chainsaw-gun and used it to reveal The Truth Behind Gears of War: Judgment. And he reveals even stupider additions to video games in The Descent of Downloadable Content. Luke also has a Tumblr and responds to every single tweet.

The act and/or result of a man taking such a large shit that it ice-creams beyond the water level while simultaneously pushing against the ejaculatory gland in the rectum hard enough to make the man ejaculate(cum like a stallion) on the peak of the newly formed shit mountain, creating a brown and white massive volcano shit

someone stole my name tərəfindən 13 Fevral 2014
In order to correctly execute this highly difficult move, one must first prepare the day before by eating a large amount of beets and drinking a large amount of shitty beer (think Coors light). Once you have consumed the proper amount, the actual person who is the Volcanic Mountain must do a half headstand against the side of the couch. While your partner is then kneeling on the couch eating your ass out, you then erupt with diarrhea (which is now reddish/purple) covering the face of your partner and everyone/everything around you. (Must be noted that this can only be done in secret by the one who is the Volcanic Mountain as to surprise your partner) This is also commonly known as "The Pompeii"

After we die and are resurrected we will come before God, the Eternal Father, to be judged. Through Jesus Christ, God will judge every single person who has ever lived on the earth and will determine the worth of each individual. God's final judgment is based upon our acceptance of Christ as our Savior and our obedience to his commandments. Each of us will receive a degree of eternal glory which will determine where we will exist after this life.
Final judgement will come.
