Uncyclopedia: The Wilde Project"I see great irony in this quote." "In Soviet Russia, great irony sees YOU!!!" "All right -- I'm gay." "You are looking at a page to do with the great man himself, Oscar Wilde." "Lick my pussy, arseholes!" Look, I simply have no idea whatsoever as to why everyone here at Uncyclopedia makes such a big deal about this Oscar Wilde guy. They just asked me to write something to put here in this box, because it would look bad if it were just a lot of white space. So I did. But none of it makes any sense... I mean, the guy's dead, isn't he? Who cares about what some dead guy said at a tea party for the Duchess of Kent? And who is this "Marquess of Queensberry" character? I seriously just do not get it. And it seems I'm not the only one! I mean, look at some of the pages on this website that link to this one. There must be thousands of them, and not one actually has anything to do with the guy! They all just mention him for no apparent logical reason (except that the whole of this website is a joke, bordering on psychotic mania), because the people who write the articles here probably feel like they're supposed to, like it's some sort of requirement. And of course, they all have the same three pictures on them, because that's how many there are in the world, seems like. And how many lists is he on, ferchrissakes? OMFG, every time you see a list of people or anything else on this crazy-ass website, alive, dead, real, or imaginary, good ol' Oscar's on it, I guarantee you that. And of course they've given him practically every title and honorific ever invented. And the quotations! I mean, shit, it's like every friggin' article has a quotation at the top by this Wilde guy! And I'll bet he didn't say half those things. I guess people think that's a requirement too, because they never seem to get tired of it. And that's what The Wilde Project is all about: adding even more quotations. It will be easy. They're already at every turn. We'll definitely win. And we won't have gone down fighting. |
Benighted Wildeisms du Jour (edit) |
Who Likes a Pram, Then? |
Oscar Wilde was walking down the narrow cobblestone streets of Dublin, Ireland when a man walked out of a pub and engaged him in conversation. "I have shagged many a beautiful young lassie in my day," said the stranger. "How dare you boast so arrogantly," Wilde replied. The man was taken aback, and quickly sized up our hero. "Are you one of those poofs, then?" quoth he. Wilde decided that he desperately needed to establish some heterosexual credibility at this juncture. Just then, a bonnie lass strode out of the tavern. Wilde approached her with great confidence, saying, "My my, your tollywompers are looking splendid this afternoon." She, in turn, froze solid, and screeched for a wretched hag who stood behind her. "Mother! Did you hear the filth this man hath speweth?" The old hag took out a can of Easy Cheese™, and sprayed poor Wilde all up and down his body. As he turned to run out of the neighborhood, the surprisingly speedy hag produced a can of Silly String™ and began to blast him. Panting, Wilde wept bitterly, tears smearing the cheese as he wailed, "Do you not know who I am, foul succubus?" Alas, his protestations fell on deaf ears. Desperate, and with no viable alternative, Wilde dropped his trousers and let loose a mighty wind from his arse, hoping to scare off the wench. The fart was so foul, it caused the heathenish woman to faint, and all nearby birds to fly from their perches in terror. "This is why I eat roast-beef sandwiches from Arby's," Wilde exclaimed, now utterly victorious. |
How You Can HelpOne way you can help is by not editing this page. Another way is by making a fart joke. You could also join the project, which isn't really a "project" so much as a list of people who like to see their usernames mentioned in highly questionable contexts. Current members are you, Winstanley1, and... well, that's about it. Members may proudly display the {{User Wilde Project}} template on their user pages, as if that's even worth the bother. Why You Shouldn't HelpBecause editing this page is fun, and we already have a lot of fartistic jokes. And I do mean a whole buttload of fart jokes. Please, do not call Mr. Wilde OR yourself the Master Bater. That is me. Where To Send CashPlease send cash to Me, at my address, which you'll have to find out on your own. Sorry.

What does "the Internet of Things" mean to you? To most people, the phrase is uninspiring. So what if your television, refrigerator, garage, bird feeder and toothbrush are all Internet-enabled? That's all well and good, but it's not life-changing.
In contrast, put every (professional) movement of your favorite sports hero or goat on the Web, and perhaps that's a different matter; just imagine what it will mean for your fantasy league! If professional and collegiate sports are finding benefit in putting sensors on players and their equipment, perhaps business should be paying a little more attention.
In this last column in a series on plenoptic reporting and data warehouses, I want to share another "ripped from the headlines" example of the explosion of publicly available data. While a real-time stream of statistics on Buffalo Bills wide receiver Chris Hogan is of interest to many, the availability of frictionless—or at least aerodynamic—data for business has many important implications.
New or mainstream?
Many of today's hot technology crazes are just adding some buzz to the old and familiar. Many supposedly revolutionary "cloud" or "big data" solutions are yesterday's Web-based systems or simply focus more on the detail in sophisticated enterprise resource planning that was previously ignored; they're not new, boundary-exploding options. Even putting "things" on the Internet is largely more of the same.
After all, Carnegie Mellon University put a Coke machine on the Internet during the 'Net's earliest days; why stroll all the way to the machine to find it empty or the soda recently restocked and still warm? Our own Rochester Institute of Technology was cited by PC Magazine as No. 3 on a list of 10 greatest hacks of all time for its superior Internet Coke Machine implementation. That's only one spot behind the hack made famous in the movie "Apollo 13," based on the eponymous crippled space mission!
But from one movie, let's move to another, "Moneyball." A small-market baseball organization with a limited budget used data, evidence and analytics to field a competitive team. "Sabermetrics" is the term for this analysis of historical and in-game statistics, with Bill James as a very visible advocate. The story of "Moneyball" inspired Giuseppe Vinci in an effort called VolleyMetrics, focusing on correlating specific volleyball skills with in-game scenarios and used by the U.S. Olympic men's volleyball team, among others. In basketball, two dozen teams employ analysts or work with statistical consultants, and teams live and die by their analytics approaches.
The NFL is going one step farther. It announced recently that new sensors will be installed in player uniforms. The system, called Zebra MotionWorks, captures motion and other statistics with a tolerance of 6 inches. Zebra indicates that 17 stadiums will be equipped to capture and transmit the tracking information—but not Ralph Wilson Stadium. Still, EJ Manuel and Mario Williams will be Internet-enabled, and perhaps that is a different thing. Six inches isn't accurate enough to support first-down measurement of the football, but it could prove to be very interesting on referees, field markers and, of course, players.
From sports to your industry
From scouting, experience, intuition and gut feel to objective, evidence-based decision-making, there's no question that sports analytics and sensors increasingly supplement or even replace traditional sports management. A major contributor is bag data, the explosion of new data sources and new uses for existing sources, which track players in stadiums or on the court; measure performance during tryouts, practices and games; and monitor athletes' health and physical condition in real time and in a great variety of ways.
Of course, the big question is how you deal with all of this. The average business is not equipped to work with neural networks, complex events processing, artificial intelligence, data mining and other means of evaluating all this new information, separating the meat from the gristle and incorporating it into decision-making processes.
Not everyone is in sports and entertainment, working in the public eye. For the NFL to equip players with sensors is one thing; the value in that industry of statistics—whether for gambling, fantasy football, salary negotiations or any number of other processes—is without question.
What about your business?
Sports is a very public environment. Athletes are accustomed to having every move analyzed and criticized. In contrast, the average salesperson, factory worker, professional or even civil servant may have privacy concerns about having movements tracked by motion-sensing input devices (such as Microsoft's Kinect) or even having video that can do facial recognition. The recent outcry about Monroe County and other urban police departments tracking license plates shows resistance to such tracking—even if your credit cards, E-ZPass or other items are already being used for similar purposes.
It's one thing for a coach to determine that the quarterback or pitcher or sweeper is acting with vastly reduced efficiency late in the game and to replace that player with someone fresh. For employees to feel so scrutinized as they perform audits or assemble birdhouses or interview prospective employees might, or might not, be perceived as something very different.
Still, the situation has to be evaluated. We want to know where our favorite football player is 20 times per second, but we don't care to learn about our investments until 45 to 90 days after a reporting period ends? Accounting can be much more like the instrument panel on a vehicle than like the rear-view mirror.
How can your business use data today to operate more efficiently? Big data and real-time analytics could change your operations and relationships with your stakeholders, in ways you might not expect.

A Florida TaxWatch economic report
The Effect of Changes in the National Flood Insurance Program on Florida
Last year, the U.S. Congress passed the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act, which extends the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) for five years and makes changes to the program's major components, including flood insurance, flood hazard mapping, grants, and management of floodplains.1 The Act is intended to make the program solvent by reducing subsidies and moving to actuarially sound rates to eliminate its estimated $24 billion of debt.
In 1968, the U.S. Congress created the NFIP, which allowed homeowners in participating communities to purchase flood insurance if the community followed flood management ordinances and adopted standards for new construction. These ordinances did not affect existing homes and many received subsidized rates because the rates charged did not reflect the true risk of the property. As flood damage and program costs rose, the NFIP operated with a deficit.
NFIP At a Glance 2, 3, 4 | |
NFIP Total Exposure: $1.27 trillion | |
NFIP Premium Receipts Annually: $3.5 billion | |
Top State Exposure | |
Florida | $475 billion |
Texas |
$162 billion |
Louisiana |
$112 billion |
Aggregate Subsidized % -- 20% | |
Florida Subsidized % -- 13% |
A substantial portion of the current $24 billion debt of the NFIP is due to claims from Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Sandy. Hurricane Sandy claims were estimated at $12 to $15 billion by the Congressional Research Service in a February 2013 report, which would rank Sandy as the second-highest payout of flood insurance claims from the program.5
In Florida, Tropical Storm Isaac in 2012 saw $407 million in paid claims, ranking 13th nationally by dollar, and Hurricane Wilma in 2005, which resulted in $365 million in claims paid, ranking 15th nationally.

Gillingham manager Mark Stimson admitted his side had been handed a huge financial boost after a last-minute win over Shrewsbury in the Coca-Cola League Two play-off final.
Simeon Jackson was the hero when he buried a header from a Josh Wright corner as the game looked destined for extra time.
Stimson said: "It's massive financially. There are several local teams we can attract and with Leeds, Norwich and Southampton coming down we will have some big gates."
Gillingham dominated the first half and were only kept at bay by the outstanding Luke Daniels in the Shrewsbury net, but Paul Simpson's side improved after the break and looked the more likely to break the deadlock.
But Gillingham mounted one last attack and when they fortuitously won a corner Jackson was left free to squeeze a header in between full-back Neil Ashton and the post and send the Gills back into League One.
The club's Priestfield stadium will welcome the likes of Leeds, Southampton and local side Charlton next season and Stimson is looking forward to the challenge.
He added: "We brought over 30,000 fans to Wembley today and we need to attract as many of them as we can every week.
"We had already arranged meetings with some players for next week regardless of what league we were going to be in.
"We need to improve the squad and we have to try and become a good League One side."

Face Your Fears
What is fear? Some of us wonder what the answer to that question is all the time. Fear can be defined as an emotion experienced in anticipation of some specific pain or danger (usually accompanied by a desire to flee or fight). We hear all of these different sayings such as, "There is nothing to fear but fear itself" or something to the point of not knowing what fear is until you face it. In Ernest Hemingway's short story, "The Short, Happy Life of Francis Macomber" The main character, Francis and his wife Margaret, are on a safari with a man named Robert Wilson. Francis and Margaret fight about many things when he runs away from a charging lion. In the end, Margaret who was trying to protect him from a charging wounded buffalo "accidentally" shoots him. The theme that is being conveyed is that...

The day we went to Alcatraz was warm and bright and as we waited at the dock for our little cruise ship to come take us to prison, I could feel my neck getting warm. But the people watching was fantastic. So many different nationalities, colors, and languages in one spot. While we waited in line to board the ship, we got a chuckle at a little boy behind us who was screaming, "I don't want to go to jail! I'm NOT going to Alcatraz. I hate you. I hate everything! I'm not going!" It made me thankful for my few precious child-free days.
If you ever get a chance to visit Alcatraz, I highly suggest you take advantage of the audio tour they offer. You pop on a headset, choose your language, and listen as you tour the penitentiary. It's narrated by former guards and inmates and it's incredibly haunting.
Living conditions:
Daphne in "the Hole":
One of the things I remember most about the tour is when a former inmate tells how on certain nights, when the partying in San Francisco was especially loud, like on New Years Eve, the prisoners on the island could hear the revelries, at times even hearing the laughter of women.
The view from the island:
Who wouldn't want to be there?
I think everyone should have to visit Alcatraz. It will keep you on your best behaviour and make you appreciate the fact that you don't live behind bars.

8541 Wrote:Great Team Work folks,
Based on Roberto's input as regards the 2nd seal on the case back (first seal is the IWC logo) being that of Huguenin Frères, I shared that info today with Schaffhausen.
In their usual great approach to supporting the IWC community out here and in particular this forum" they responded by return. The response I got back was "In fact, Huguenin Frères was the case supplier, who produced the cases for ref. 802."
Let's remember that in those days (and for most brands still today - other than IWC) the watch companies generally outsourced the manufacturing of their cases. So no surprise there -but nice to see that even in those days IWC turned to the top reputable suppliers for their watch components. Clearly, then as now QUALITY was a major focus area for IWC.
So, still no answer as to why no serial number on this case back - but any day in which I (we) learn and/or recall some of IWC history, is a good day in my book.
Best regards

We drove down to Boston today for a family vacay. I'm very happy to be surrounded by new scenery, and I'm loving every minute of seeing the kids' eyes all wide to a new place. We have a nice view of the Boston skyline from our hotel and they are fascinated by the city lights. I swear that driving through the tunnel on 93 south into the city was enough of a thrill for them, especially Reed who was gasping with delight the whole time.
We spent our afternoon settling in; then Sam and the kids swam in the pool while I ran on the treadmill (it was raining) and then my dear friend Jae (college, NELP, San Francisco, life) who lives in Boston picked us up and took us out for Korean food.
Jae ordered all of the food for us. I love to let someone else make all the decisions (occasionally), and the food he chose was delicious. We had seaweed salad and a tofu dish (below) and then a huge platter of Korean chicken, some really spicy, and some in a soy garlic sauce. The kids chowed the chicken. Yum.
Skyler as photographer.
Jae swung us by Fenway on our way back to the hotel. The Sox are out of town, but we said hello to these guys anyway.
You can tell by this picture what a good guy Jae is, can you not? I love him.
There are a lot of people in our hotel wearing Boston Marathon jackets sporting their post-marathon glow and I'm trying really hard not to corner all of them in the elevator and say: "oh my god, how was it? was it amazing? did you love it? are you so happy? did you PR?" I am jealous of their cool jackets, and they all seem to be really good looking too.
The kids are tired, and I'm somehow poaching free internet in our hotel. Day one: success!

We were in Boston for the Marathon last year. There were people in marathon jackets EVERYWHERE the night before and out hotel was packed with runners! The energy was amazing! (We were there for a Sox game, not the marathon)
Hope you guys continue having lots and lots of fun!!

What a wonderful place to take your kids. I was lucky and grew up 45 mins. outside of the city, but I didn't really start visiting more until I started dating my husband. Such an awesome place!

A full, face palette - designed by celebrity makeup artist Carol Shaw - for the mom who wants to look like a celebrity, but simply does not have the time.
A summer-inspired palette for eyes, cheeks, and lips. "The Bathing Beauty knew she needed a man to bankroll her leisurely, luxurious lifestyle, but she couldn't decide what sort. He, of course, had to be willing to buy her diamonds for absolutely no reason at all, and she positively had to have beach houses in Malibu, Maui, St. Barths, The Rivera, and Monaco so she could work on her beautifully bronzed glow year round - and this kit was always at her side to help her lure in the bait." Palette includes three 0.21 oz eyeshadows in teal, champagne, and pink shimmers; four 0.14 oz lip colors in champagne shimmer, golden pink shimmer, pink, and bronze shimmer; and a 0.22 oz cheek color in peach, plus a double-ended brush and shadow applicators.

So I like gear just as much as anyone else, but I see guys out here in Colorado go trout fishing on one river with 3 or 4 rods in their hands. I've got a 9' 5-weight and a great switch rod from Bob Meiser, but am wondering what I'm missing...should I be in the market for another Colorado river trout fishing rod? (I also have a 9' 7-weight).
Theres a chance they could be fishing different setups on multiple rods but using the same technique, like 3 nymph rods rigged with different flies at different depths, then maybe a dry fly rod aswell, as opposed to switching out setups. This seems to be popular with alot of dudes, especially in the winter because it's easier then changing flies a bunch with cold hands. I find its more trouble then its worth to carry multiple rods while wading.
short answer, yes. longer answer, your purchase will help me justify/confirm my last rod purchase a few weeks ago. We'll both feel great!
You need to go out and get yourself a nice 3wt. Just the ticket for small creeks. About a 7'6" or a 7'9". I have both and they both get used.
Oh yeah, you should get some more rods. All those small streams are calling out for a lightweight rod. Maybe a 2-3wt? Then for summer dries you'll need a 4wt. Big streamers call for a 6wt. Looks like you HAVE to get at least three more rods. No wait, I forgot about those Colorado reservoirs filled with 6-8 lb wipers and other huge warmwater fish. You'll want an 8wt for those. I don't really like carrying multiple rods while wading, but last time having a streamer rod along paid off.
Don't get me started why you need another rod. I need more rods them my old lady has shoe's, pant's and shirt's.
I don't even need to read your post; your title was enough: Mother of all that is holy and good, of course you need another rod. Get a reel and line too.
And I'll also point out that asking a question like that here is like asking a bar full of drunks whether you should have another beer.
Now let me get this straight... you come to a flyfishing forum chuck full of flyfishing fanatics that buy flyfishing gear like women buy shoes and ask if you should get another rod??? Do you honestly believe any of these guys would say no?
Hello... my name is Bill and I am a gear addict. <chorus> Hello Bill... <fighting urge to recommend additional 3 wt rod>

Can you give me any pointers on whether an ink jet printer or a laser printer is better? I'm looking to buy a new printer, but I'd like to hear from you first. Any help would be appreciated!
In this day and age, probably two of the most popular printers are the ink jet and the laser printers. They are more high tech and they… Continue reading

A Guide to finding diamonds
by avenged Jun 28, 2012
Are you tired of always looking for diamonds in random places and hardly having any luck and basically finding more Enderman than you do ore? Then this guide will give you a little extra help. Now as any good Minecraft fan knows right at the bottom of the world there is an item called bedrock that can't be destroyed. Well mine all the way down to the lowest level of bedrock that you can. Once you have, count 10 blocks up from that bottom piece then mark that position; then count another 6 blocks up from there and mark that position. If you mine in shafts in between 10-16 blocks up (which is what you've just marked) then you will find diamond. Diamond is most commonly found in the bottom 16 layers but there is significantly less in layers 1-9 that is why 10-16 are the best. I used this method and after about 10-20 shafts i had enough to make full diamond Armour, sword, pickaxe, axe, hoe and spade and with some left over. Now don't lose hope if you don't find a whole stack on your first shaft because it doesn't work that ay it will all depend on which world you have spawned in and if it has a lot of diamond and if it does then you will have much more luck than others. Hope this helped. |

MaKe a Snowman
by danny king Dec 08, 2011
Ever wanted to see a snowman in Minecraft? Well, you can! These creatures are called Snow Golems. AKA "Snowmans." Here is how you can easily make one. 1. If you have 1 pumpkin and 2 snow blocks, place a snow block anywhere, and place another one on top of it. 2. After placing the two snow blocks, add the pumpkin on the top. And then you've just made a Snow Golem/Snowman. |
QuIck House
by governeur Oct 14, 2011
Got all of your supplies on the first day, but you don't have time to make a house? Take a door (3 X 2 Woods), mine a short tunnel into the mountain, and place the door so monsters can't get in. All you have to do from there is expand and decorate (if you're interested.) You can also make an easy mine from this location! It doesn't look as nice, but it's affordable in terms of supplies like wood!) |

Do you guys know the mythical character...Herobrine?'If you don't know who he is....he is the same as your character but only he has white eyes and he has a diamond sword (sometimes he uses is fists)he uses to kill you with one hit. Some say that he is just a Mod.Some say that he is a villager.And others say that he can roam in your world by the following things: -He can place Sings like:Only god can save you now' or' Im watching you. -Little sand Pyramids in the water. -1x1 rooms underground. -he sometimes creates towers with fire on top of it what this is is unknown. One time i was playing Minecraft and it was already night time (Survival Mode) and i was busy collecting wood.Then i started to dig to find Diamonds.Then when i realized it i chopped a block and in front of me Herobrine was.He persued me and tried to kill me with his fists.i ran to my house and he followed me until the door.When i sleeped and woke up he was gone and there where holes in the ground and on the wall of my house.So form that point i never saw Herobrine again.... And if you want to search Herobrine make sure you focus on these things: -Herobrine doesn't have a name tag -Make sure no players are in your world. -if you see those strange enviorment things like above (the first options)then it's a chance that Herobrine is in your world. -Some players have seen sightings of him when it's fog or when they see something near a tower. I will also write a forum about this and if you knew please comment thanks for reading |

HoW to Find Dungeons Easily
by varun_sunayana Oct 14, 2011
To find dungeons easily you need to block yourself in a little room that you can fit in (better 2 blocks high and 1 block wide). Press the F key or the fog key you set to if you did in the options and rapidly press it. It should make everything but your hand disappear for 1 second. Every time the terrain disappears look for a monster spawner. If you see a monster spawner that's a dungeon. Note: If you are playing version 1.8, if you're in an abandoned mine it can be a cave spider spawner. |
unLimited saves
by gamey1000 Jan 04, 2011
at first it looks like minecraft has only 5 save files or "worlds" but it doesn't. it only has 5 active ones, to get a save from active(appearing in the select world screen) to inactive( not appearing in the select world screen) you have to locate your "saves" folder. it is usally in the application data/app data folder under .minecraft, then you have to rename the wanted worlds to anything but World1-5. and to make it active again you rename it World1-5. |

InFinite Water Supply
by loss Jan 20, 2011
There are a lot of reasons that you'll want to have a Bucket of Water on your hands (fire, building, farming, irritating friends, making a moat, etc.), but it can get really irritating having to run down to the ocean every tie you want some. Follow this quick tutorial, and you can have a small, endlessly full pool of water wherever you want it! You'll need an Iron Bucket and the ability to dig into the floor a little. 1. Dig a 2 by Hole in the ground that is 1 square deep 2. Fill your bucket/s with water from the ocean or a lake. You only need 2 deposits, so taking 2 buckets is recommended. 3. Bring the water back to your base and pour 1 Bucket in each corner of the square in the ground. If done correctly, you should have a still 2 by 2 pool of water. Every time you take a bucket and use it on any of the squares, the others refill it to fullness. |

First, create a hole to the Bedrock with a Pickaxe (You may need about 2 for this). Then, Place TNT on the top of the bedrock, all the way up to Layer 127. Explode the TNT, and you've made a hole into the Void. |
HoW to protect yourself in the night easily.
by Lurcariofan65 Aug 12, 2011
My brother found this from a "Let's Play Minecraft" series. He got a whole bunch of cacti and sand. Then continued to dig holes 1 block deep and 1 block away from any surrounding object around the perimeter of his house, and fill the holes with sand. Afterwards, he placed cacti on each of the sand blocks, creating an effective defense system against any living mob in Minecraft. Be careful, though, any living mob includes you! If you somehow didn't understand something, or have any questions, feel free to ask me. |

EaSy Enderman Kill
by scorchunknown252 Oct 14, 2011
As of patch 1.8+, Endermen have become available/more common, and they drop Ender Pearls, which might have future use (none except mods now!). Just get their attention (put crosshairs on them), and trick them into falling into shallow water. Endermen are killed by water, as well as the sun! |

Showtime Releases New 'Homeland' Season 2 Trailer
- By
- 5 Comments
Either Showtime is playing Homeland season 2 incredibly close to the vest, or they just really love the idea of creating footage-free teasers for the show's upcoming premiere next month. It's a marketing move the network has employed to some success with Dexter. And while it's lacking any clips from the second season, it does paint a fairly quick picture of just how Sergeant Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis) got to where he is.
As you have now seen, the former POW has clearly cashed in on the media attention surrounding his rescue and incredible survival, and parlayed that into a Congressional seat, but his rather unique conflict of interest is still very much at the forefront of his thoughts. With the Vice President having hitched his wagon to Brody's star to boost his bid for the presidency, Brody's profile as an American hero is now larger than ever – a fact that would make the completion of Abu Nazir's intended plot against Vice President William Walden (Jamey Sheridan), and the United States, all the more terrifying.
Meanwhile, on the fringe of the grand spectacle that is Brody's political appointment is Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes). Carrie is very much on the opposite end of the spectrum, career-wise, but that doesn't appear to have stopped her from continuing on the collision course with the man she suspects is a sleeper agent.
Now that she's no longer with the CIA, Carrie's job convincing others of her suspicion will no doubt be made exponentially harder – not only due to the discovery of her mental illness, but also because she operated as something of a rogue agent before that. Despite all of this, the trailer suggests that Carrie's one constant, driving force is still uncovering the truth behind Brody's allegiance to Abu Nazir.
The narration by Carrie's mentor, Saul Berenson (Mandy Patinkin), serves to bring the audience up to speed, and it's also eerily accurate in how well it presents Carrie and Brody's frame of mind.
"What happens when your country forgets you? Hidden away, disoriented, out of touch. Ideas are bound to warp. Allegiances shift. If everything you had was taken away, and you had nothing left to lose, what lengths would you go to for the one idea that pulled you through? And how dangerous would you be?"
Claire Danes spoke about her character during Showtime's presentation at the Television Critics Association summer press event, saying Carrie will find strength in having her condition known by others, even though the event that ended season 1 will have left her indelibly changed.
Danes said:
"She's been outed; she's been exposed as this person with this condition, and that has altered her in a pretty fundamental way. She's not hiding; she doesn't have that panic or defensiveness. As we find her in the beginning of the season, she's been humbled…She gets her mojo back, but it takes some time."
As season 2 will reportedly jump forward in time, perhaps Carrie's disorientation and desire to right the course she's on will serve as a parallel for what the audience will go through. Until then, if Showtime wants to keep bringing these stylish previews, we'll certainly welcome reading into them.
Homeland season 2 premieres Sunday, September 30th on Showtime.

Two men are facing weapons charges after officers with the Canadian Border Services Agency executed separate search warrants in the west end of Halifax earlier this week.
The agency says 19-year-old Conor Lively and 19-year-old Craig Redmond, both of Halifax, were arrested Wednesday after officers carried out a search under the Customs Act in relation to the suspected smuggling of prohibited weapons.
The charges range from smuggling prohibited weapons to importation of prohibited weapons.
Lively has been released and is due in court next month while Redmond will seek bail next week.
The agency says it is working with the RCMP and Halifax Regional Police to investigate the matter.

In an area of broker-dealer practices with relatively little guidance—the appropriate level of commissions or mark ups on securities trades—FINRA recently brought another in a series of cases that provides insight into the regulator's view on additional transaction-based fees. In this particular case, FINRA found that a broker-dealer characterized a $60.50 charge on its customer trade confirmations, which was in addition to or instead of a commission, as "miscellaneous" and/or as an "additional fee." However, much of this fee, FINRA found, was not attributable to any specific cost or expense the firm incurred in executing the transaction. FINRA found, in effect, that the fee was a commission by another name, and the firm thus understated the amount of the total commissions that it charged on its securities transactions.
According to FINRA's settlement order, a substantial portion of the charge was not reasonably related to any specific cost or expense the firm incurred in executing each transaction, or determined by any formula applicable to all customers. Instead, a substantial portion of the charge represented a source of additional transaction-based remuneration or revenue to the firm, and was effectively a minimum commission charge. By claiming that the charge was in addition to or in place of a designated commission charge, the firm mischaracterized and understated the amount of the total commissions the firm charged.
FINRA found that the firm violated NASD Conduct Rule 2430, which requires charges for services performed—including miscellaneous services such as collection of moneys due for principal, dividends—or interest; exchange or transfer of securities; appraisals, safe-keeping, or custody of securities; and other services to be reasonable and not unfairly discriminatory between customers. FINRA also found that the firm violated Securities Exchange Act Rule 10b-10, which requires broker-dealers to disclose specified information in writing to customers at or before the completion of a transaction.
The firm consented, without admitting or denying the findings, to a fine of $50,000 (which was imposed for these and several other violations), and to comply with the undertakings and revise its written supervisory procedures. The undertakings are significant, since they reflect FINRA's view as to the proper way to disclose commissions. In brief, FINRA required the firm, going forward, to identify any transaction-based charge that constitutes remuneration to the firm as a commission or markup/markdown, and not as any charge or fee for postage, handling, or any miscellaneous, additional fee; and to the extent that any transaction-based charge does represent a service performed or a cost incurred by the firm that is not included as part of the reported commission or markup/markdown, required the firm to properly disclose it. FINRA also required the firm to revise its written supervisory procedures to address the requirements of this undertaking and provide relevant training to all associated persons.
FINRA previously announced, in a September 7, 2011 press release, five similar actions against firms that FINRA fined as much as $300,000. The cases resulted from a targeted review of improper fees charged by broker-dealers in which FINRA found that the firms were routinely charging customers – as much as $100 per trade in addition to the disclosed commissions – for handling fees that far exceeded the actual cost of the direct handling-related services the firms incurred in processing securities transactions. There is little doubt that a review of firms' fees and markups/markdowns remains an important part of FINRA exams, and its exam procedures likely will continue to include a review of "additional" or "miscellaneous" fees.

Lift kit for a 2012 JKU Sport and re-gearing advice
1 Attachment(s)
I am getting overwhelmed by looking at all these lift kits, I dont know what I need or want.
Here is what I can tell you, it is my daily driver and do a good mix of highway and city commuting I do like to go hit the trails at least once or twice a month, and im looking to join a off road club near me soon (just need to be able to compete first!) I know I want a 2.5" or 3" lift and want to run either 33's or 35's. What is the best Lift kit/shock combo around without spending ludicrous amounts of money? Once lifted, I want to handle the wheel/tire situation. It is a 6spd manual and I have no idea what to do about re-gearing it. Please help I am very new to all of this. Thank you everyone! |
Welcome to the site!
Lifts are more of a personal preference. The main guideline you will want to consider when choosing your lift and gears is the tire size + whether you're wheeling or not. My rule of thumb: 32" - 34" = 0" - 2.5" lift 35" = 2.5 - 4" 37" = 3.5 - 4" 40" = 4" - 6" Gears should also be determined by tire size: 33" or less = Fine with stock 3.21 or 3.73 35" = 3.73" - 4.88" 37" = 4.88 - 5.13 The lift will be determined by how much you want to wheel it, or not. AEV is great for on road but not for wheeling. Rock Krawler, Teraflex, Metalcloak (and many others) for heavier wheeling... |
Which is the most trusted lift and shocks? What is the difference from 3.73 -4.88? I don't really understand the gear ratio math involved? |
Choosing ur tires should be ur first priority. It will make or break ur mpg goal since its ur dd. decisions decisions.
Here's the gear ratio chart for 2012 |
Did you regear? |
As with most lifts, everything is upgradeable. So if you start with a entry level 2.5" lift, you can add parts later if you want. Regarding gears, most will not want to regear unless you move to 35's. I have 3.73 gears with 35's. I used the AEV Procal to fix my spedo and adjust for tire size. I will eventually upgrade gears when I move to 37's. That's essentially the sickness -- Have stock wheels, you will want 33's. Get the 33's and you will want 35's, etc. I got 33's as my first mod (which you can do with no lift). As soon as I got my lift, I wanted 35's. I got 35's about 9 months after getting the 33's. |
I'm going with 2" Rancho Sport Lift with 9000 series shocks. More of a leveling kit, but didn't want to deal with changing too much suspension at this point. Never plan to do more than 2.5" lift. Will be running 33" DuraTracs with my 3.73 gears.
You could get longer shocks for the taller lift if you plan to upgrade. 2.5" - 3" won't make much of a difference. 2.5" - 4" would be a significant jump. I'd go with the Teraflex over the AEV. AEV is built more for good on road manners, Teraflex is better for wheeling. |

There's something indescribably likable about Zooey Deschanel. She's adorable and authentic, which is what makes her She & Him rendition of "You Really Got a Hold on Me" so great. Watch below.

Strictly speaking, though, this is a relatively recent practice. It was began around the 1970s. Prior to that it was Mr. Hoover, Mr. Coolidge, Colonel (T.) Roosevelt, General Eisenhower, etc. This followed General Washington's dictum that the republic has only one president at a time. Until the present century, the etiquette books still insisted that the new practice was incorrect. *United States Protocol: The Guide to Official Diplomatic Etiquette* (2010) states that addressing former presidents as, f.i. President Bush, is no longer incorrect.
On the other hand, referring to former monarchs by their previous titles has long been accepted practice.

A photo from 1929 shows the major Harlem laundry service located in East Harlem at the corner of 128th Street and Park Avenue. This would have been a time where such services were still in use by the middle class and the delivery cars along with the drivers are all properly dressed to do so. The building in the photo still remains today but the brownstones down the street are long gone.

Marion Bataille's ABC3D & more
I may be woefully behind the times on this, but I just had to share it, not the least because the soundtrack is a song by the super duper Boswell Sisters! On the same topic, here's an image from a New York City alphabet book by Joanne Dugan, whose progeny were tired of ones with barnyard friends.
Any favorite alphabet books you'd like to share? Edward Gorey comes to mind....
There are 19,799 alphabet books listed on Amazon. The Graphic Alphabet by David Pelletier will please adults immensely in its marriage of form and content (below is his representation of "o"). Among our offerings, pop-up maestro Robert Sabuda's The Christmas Alphabet is a particularly fetching one. And if you feel design-y, have a look at Modern Display Alphabets: 100 Complete Fonts.

When it comes to healthy lunch and dinner options that taste great and are easy to make, few choices come as close to a perfection as a steamy bowl of lentil soup.
Enjoy a fabulous vegetarian bake that is suitable for vegans too!
Tease long al-dente strands of squash not a shaggy pulp by cooking it with pressure. It only takes 3 minutes and the result is spectacular!!

Planned Parenthood march against Obamacare repeal
"With this disaster of a bill dead and buried, I hope that we can get to work."
Dave Rice 6:30 p.m., March 24
Although there was a time when I did not shave my legs and when I thought carob was a good substitute for chocolate, these days I don't get excited about a restaurant when I see items like sprouts and soyrizo on the menu. And when the menu includes "Tree Hugger" among the titles given to the dishes, I am tempted to run. My friend, Sarah, on the other hand, has a thing for boys in overalls and does not run from sprouts or soyrizo.
On the day we planned to meet at Blue Boheme for a fancy brunch only to discover it would not open for another hour, I followed Sarah into Kensington Café.
Inside, the place has a mellow vibe, casual and comfortable. It was 10:30 a.m. and the place was busy enough that most of the servers looked unhappy. Among the clientele were old men (clearly regulars) having their mid-morning cup of coffee and thin people in yoga pants.
After a cursory glance at the menu, I sighed and whined that I'd had my heart set on the fancy smoked salmon platter I knew I'd find on the menu at the other restaurant. Reluctantly, I settled on the Sandy Eggan, a bagel sandwich with eggs, cheese, avocado, and tomato for $6.25, but only because I could add bacon for $1.50.
Sarah smiled and chirped and ordered the Adams Avenue, a sandwich piled high with sprouts, lettuce, cucumbers, avocado, red onions and green goddess spread ($7.95).
I confess, when I saw the food come out, even the sprouts looked good. While a lot of eateries pay homage to "health food," it usually doesn't appeal to me at all. But these sandwiches were plump and attractive. They had this "I'm going to be good for you and tasty" vibe that didn't disappoint.
Though I won't be ordering soyrizo or dining my yoga pants anytime soon, I will admit I was pleasantly surprised by what I found at the Kensington Café.

Southwestern Shredded Beef
pressure cooker
One of my favourite cooking mantras is cook once, eat twice. So you can be sure the minute I saw Southwestern beef wraps over on Our Best Bites, I was all over this recipe. The plan was to cook a lot (once) so that there would be leftovers to make tacos ( thus eating twice).
My plan was a colossal failure. There were no leftovers because certain individuals seemed to think that eating twice meant that they should go back for second helpings. I have no real evidence but I do I have my suspicions that some may have even stretched it to eating thrice. Consider yourselves warned.
Originally this was a slow-cooker meal from Mc Cormick. I have adapted it for the pressure cooker.
Southwestern Shredded Beef
2 medium onions, cut into 1-inch wedges
3 cloves garlic
2 1/2 pounds boneless chuck roast,
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin, ground
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (or 2 teaspoons culantro)
3/4 teaspoon salt
5 Trinidad pimento peppers or substitute with 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
6 diced tomatoes
*For extra heat, use spicy salsa and/or add 1 chopped jalapeno pepper to slow cooker when adding green pepper
1. Put onions and whole garlic cloves at the bottom of the pressure cooker.
2. Mix chili powder, cumin, cilanto and salt in small bowl. Rub seasoning mixture all over meat. Place meat on onions and garlic in the pressure cooker. Top with green pepper and diced tomatoes. Cover.
Consult your pressure cooker manual on how long to cook the beef as the following instructions may not work for your brand of cooker.
3. Cook on high until desired pressure is acheived (about 5 mins). Turn heat down to med - low and cook for 20 minutes.
4.When the 20 minutes are up, release the pressure from the pot according to the manufacturer's instructions. This takes about 5 mins.
5. Shred beef with 2 forks. At this point you will find that there is still a lot of liquid in the pot. You can drain the liquid of or f cook further in the uncovered pressure cooker to thicken gravy.
Serving Tip: Serve with rice, fried plantains and bean salad

This looks as though it is packed with flavor. My family loves these flavors and I'm certain there wouldn't be any leftovers at our house, either.
Family Fresh Cooking and I would love if you linked up this recipe & any 2 other entrees in this weeks Get Grillin' event posted on both of our blogs. We have a fabulous Ile De France Cheese giveaway. You just need to link up on one site. http://bit.ly/jjM7Qg

text: HomeNews Four Railway Employees from Nagpur Come Together to Provide Water to Drought Affected Latur Mandar Pandhare May 9, 2016 News, Quick Bytes QUICK BYTES: Curated positive news from across the web. Read more. This year, the state of Maharashtra has seen the worst drought in the last 100 years, with many areas of Marathwada and Vidarbha being severely affected. There is a major scarcity of water in Latur, Marathwada, and the state government has, till now, provided over 49.5 million litres of water through Jaldoot Express, a water express used to transport water from Miraj to Latur, as reported by The Indian Express. While the government is working hard to tackle the drought situation in Latur, four young employees of Central Railways from Nagpur are also doing their bit to help people in the remote villages of Latur. Employees of Central Railway from Nagpur transporting bags containing water pouches in Nagpur-Kolhapur Express Tushar Vighne, along with his friends Ritin Khatekar, Anil Puranik and Prashant Golait, started an initiative to provide certified water pouches to the people of the drought affected villages of Harunbhai, Nandgaon and Bhusmurd, with populations ranging from 2000-3000. Subscribe "We started this initiative through social media like Whatsapp and Facebook. Initially, there were only four of us, but later we gathered more and more attention. We thought of collecting water from different households but then we decided not to compromise with the quality. Hence, now we are sending certified water pouches to Latur through trains," said Tushar Vighne, who has been working as a mail express guard with Nagpur Railways for the past 25 years. The water pouches were bought from the funds contributed mostly by railway employees. Every water pouch consists of 300 ml water and each bag has about 50 water pouches. " We've supplied about 1000 bags of water pouches till now and are planning to do the same for the next seven Saturdays," he said. So far, Tushar and his friends have successfully transported around 15,000 litres of water through Nagpur-Kolhapur Express to Latur. They have also urged the local residents and several NGOs to come forward and help them make a difference in the parched region of Latur.
