SCALE 9X Day 0: Friday at the Hilton
Yeah, it started, but there's no reason why you can't join in. Registration is still open for SCALE 9X — register now by clicking on the winking penguin. Better do it quick, though — SCALE 9X is this weekend!
I'm getting too old for this. Either that or I should train for events like this, sort of like training for a marathon.
I say this because it's roughly 3 in the afternoon and already my bed is looking good. Whether it's press duties for SCALE or FAD duties for the Fedora Project, I'm getting a lot of things done in a little bit of time. Tonight I have an UpSCALE talk with my darling daughter on "Linux Family Cafiero" — Here's a story, of a man name Larry . . . .
I had a presentation this morning on "User Groups 2.0: Noob Morning in America" that was great. Sadly, the A/V side of things were not up to snuff, and whether or not the presentation was worthwhile watching for those who tuned in remains to be seen. Regardless, SCALE is turning out to be an outstanding event so far, and it's only about six hours old.
One of the more interesting facets of the show so far is that the Fedora Activity Day is SRO — there are a lot more people than were expected for the event. That's a good thing on several levels.
Two things that need special mention:
Numbers: It appears that the numbers are up this year so far. With more than 700 registered so far on Friday and another thousand yet to be registered — those would be the ones coming for the weekend — augmented by walk-ups that invariably show up, we're looking at a record number going forward.
A quote: "There's no patch for human stupidity." I got that from Clint Savage of Purple Atom and the Fedora Project, though truth be told, I don't know the origin of the quote.
I'll report back about UpSCALE later in the evening. Now if there's a place for me to lie down for awhile . . . .

Np thanks for sharing your opinion on the product I just might try it out only thing is it is a bit pricey and if u have to use alot of product that may not be so great for me... I HAVE ALOT OF HAIRI totally am in LOVE with Curl Keeper I just posted about this in the general forum in the thread about come in in if you use Curl Keeper.
Tenapaige, thanks a milliion for posting that video. I used my sample and followed her video and my hair looks amazing. Now I think I want more highlights in it to show of the curls.
My hair feels very light and bouncy, and not sticky at all. This is truly a unique product. Hooray!!!

text: When Tom Cruise sued Life & Style ( I realize photo above is In Touch, but it is the same company and you know who is on the cover of the Life & Style issue) for libel claiming their story that he abandoned Suri after his divorce was not accurate he probably expected them to back down quickly and apologize. I think he forgets that this company, Bauer publishing is the one who took on David Beckham and his affair story and won. The Hollywood Reporter has a great article up about the discovery that is being requested and a lot of it has to do with Suri and Scientology. Oh how I wish a DNA test was part of the deal, but instead it is things like Suri's emotional state since the divorce and how often Tom actually saw her and spoke with her and how his adherence to Scientology played a part. And the kicker? The exact terms of the divorce. Love it.

HaTeX User's Guide
From HaskellWiki
1 Preface
1.1 Introduction
If you are here because you want to learn more about HaTeX, or just feel curious, you are in the right place. First of all, note that this guide is addressed to that people that already knows the basics of both Haskell and LaTeX. Otherwise, try to learn first a bit of these languages (both are quite useful learnings). To learn Haskell, though I guess you already learned it since you are reading these lines, go to the Haskell web [1] and search for some tutorials or books. To learn LaTeX, you can start withThe not so short introduction to LaTeX [2].
The HaTeX library aspires to be the tool that Haskellers could want to make theirLaTeX things without exit of their language (we understand that is difficult to leave Haskell after the first date), trying to be the most comprehensive and well done as possible. Do you think, anyway, that something could be done better? Perhaps something is lacked? Go then to the HaTeX mailing list [3] and leave your complain without mercy! Or, in the case you are a GitHub user, say your word in the issue list [4] or, to be awesome, make yourself a patch and send a pull request. This is the great thing about open source projects!
1.2 What is HaTeX?
Before we explain how HaTeX works, it is convenient to say what actually HaTeX is.
HaTeX is a Haskell library that provides functions to create, manipulate and parse LaTeX code.
People often says that HaTeX is a LaTeX DSL. With it you can enjoy all the advantages you already have in Haskell while creating LaTeX documents. A common purpose is to automatize the creation of such documents, perhaps from a source data in Haskell. A more exotic one is to render chess tables. Possibilities are in a wide range. The idea is the following: if you can do it with LaTeX, you can do it with HaTeX, but adding all the Haskell features.
2 Basics
Through this section you will learn the basics of HaTeX. Essentially, how it works.
2.1 The Monoid classIf you are already familiar with the
class Monoid m where mempty :: m mappend :: m -> m -> m mconcat :: [m] -> m
xs ++ [] = [] ++ xs = xs
2.2 LaTeX blocksSuppose we have a well-formed1 piece of LaTeX code, call it a. Now, let
2.3 Creating blocksWe have now an universe of blocks forming a monoid. What we need now is a way to create these blocks. As we said, a block is the representation of a well-formed piece of LaTeX code. Let
linespread :: Float -> LaTeX
title :: LaTeX -> LaTeX
2.3.1 From stringsInserting text in a LaTeX document is a constant task. You can create a block with text given an arbitrary
class IsString a where fromString :: String -> a
2.3.2 More blocksThere is a lot of functions for create blocks. In fact, we can say that this is the main purpose of the library. LaTeX has a lot of commands, in order to set font attributes, create tables, insert graphics, include mathematical symbols, etc. So HaTeX have a function for each command defined in LaTeX (to tell the truth, only for a small subset). Please, go to the API documentation to read about particular functions. Build it locally or find it in Hackage: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/HaTeX. You will find the class constraint
2.4 Putting blocks togetherOnce you have the blocks, as we said before, you need to append them. The
mconcat [ "I can see a " , textbf "rainbow" , " in the blue " , textit "sky" , "." ]
2.5 RenderingThis is the last step in our LaTeX document creation. When we have our finalLaTeX block
short = documentclass [] article <> title "A short message" <> author "John Short" <> document (maketitle <> "This is all.")
\title{A short message} \author{John Short} \begin{document} \maketitle{} This is all\end{document}
renderFile :: Render a => FilePath -> a -> IO ()
class Render a where render :: a -> Text
2.6 Try yourself
As always, the best way to learn something well is to try it by yourself. Since to see code examples can give you a great help, HaTeX comes with several examples where you can see by yourself how to get the work done.
The API reference is also a good point to keep in mind. Descriptions of functions make you know how exactly they works. And, when they are not present, function names with type signatures may be very helpful and descriptive.
3 LaTeX blocks and the Writer monad===The Writer Monad=== Fixed a monoid
data W m a = W m a
inject :: Monoid m => a -> W m a inject a = W mempty a
instance Functor (W m) where fmap f (W m a) = W m (f a)
join :: Monoid m => W m (W m a) -> W m a join (W m (W m' a)) = W (mappend m m') a
instance Monoid m => Monad (W m) wherereturn = injectw >>= f = join (fmap f w)
tell :: m -> W m () tell m = W m ()
execute :: W m a -> m execute (W m a) = m
instance Monoid Int wheremempty = 0 mappend = (+)
example :: Int example = execute $ dotell 1 tell 2 tell 3tell 4
example :: Int example = execute $ mapM_ tell [ 1 .. 4 ]
3.1 The LaTeX MonadLet's go back to the
type LaTeXW = W LaTeX
example :: LaTeX
example = execute $ dotell $ documentclass [] article tell $ author "Monads lover"tell $ title "LaTeX and the Writer Monad"
author' :: LaTeXW a -> LaTeXW () author' = tell . author . execute
example :: LaTeX
example = execute $ dodocumentclass' [] article author' "Monads lover"title' "LaTeX and the Writer Monad"
3.2 Composing monadsTo add flexibility to HaTeX, the writer monad explained above is defined as a monad transformer, named
foo :: Monad m => LaTeXT m a
type LaTeXW = LaTeXT M
foo :: LaTeXW a
type LaTeXIO = LaTeXT IO readCode :: FilePath -> LaTeXIO () readCode fp = lift (readFileTex fp) >>= verbatim . raw example :: LaTeXIO () example = do "This is the code I wrote this morning:" readCode "foo.hs" "It was a funny exercise."
type LaTeXW = LaTeXT Identity
4 The LaTeXC classHaTeX has two different interfaces. One uses blocks as
5 Packages
LaTeX, in addition to its predefined commands, has a big number of packages that increase its power. HaTeX functions for some of these packages are defined in separated modules, one module per package. This way, you can import only those functions you actually need. Some of these modules are below explained.
5.1 InputencThis package is of vital importance if you use non-ASCII characters in your document. For example, if my name is Ángela, the Á character will not appear correctly in the output. To solve this problem, use the
import Text.LaTeX.Base import Text.LaTeX.Packages.Inputenc thePreamble :: LaTeX thePreamble = documentclass [] article <> usepackage [utf8] inputenc <> author "Ángela" <> title "Issues with non-ASCII characters"
5.2 GraphicxWith the
includegraphics :: LaTeXC l => [IGOption] -> FilePath -> l
6 Epilogue
6.1 Notes about this guide
This guide is not static. It will be changed, extended and improved with the time. If you think there is something unclear, something hard to understand, please, report it.
It has been a long time since I started with the HaTeX project. But it was not until version 3.3 that I feel like it is taking the right way. This is why I did not write this guide before.
I learned a lot during its creation, beginning with a little project that would help myself to write LaTeX documents, and then becoming in my first contact with the Haskell Community. And all the time it was funny.
I would like to end this guide saying thanks to all people that has been interested in HaTeX some way, specially to those that contributed to it with patches, opinions or bug reports. Thanks.
7 Footnotes
1: With well-formed we mean that all braces, environments, math expressions, ... are closed.2: Please, note that the
is a Haskell value, not the LaTeX code itself.3: From GHC 7.4,
versions of GHC, HaTeX exports the synonym.4: Some authors write it using tuples, like this:
6: In fact, we had a problem with HaTeX-meta, the program that automatically generated the duplicated functions. The problem was described in a blog post: http://deltadiaz.blogspot.com.es/2012/04/hatex-trees-and-problems.html.

By Julie Muhlstein Herald Columnist
Our west-facing view from The Herald is spectacular. Along with Navy ships, Boeing jets and Olympic peaks, there's a new attraction. A mother crow is sitting on hatchlings in a nest just outside a newsroom window.
We're watching an up-close show of nature and survival.
Nest-building began about a month ago. Copy editor and bird lover Bill Pedigo first noticed a pair of crows scouting out a long-needle pine next to our building on Everett's W. Marine View Drive.
Crows made trip after trip carrying sturdy sticks to the chosen spot. The big nest, more than a foot across, is in a crook of the tree's high branches. It's a few feet below our second-floor windows.
For at least two weeks, the mother sat on five eggs, which were bluish-green or brown, speckled, and each more than an inch long. Her mate kept watch from a perch on a utility line, at times raising a ruckus to warn off gulls that got too close.
Eggs hatched over the weekend. By Monday, mama crow was sitting on hatchlings, her tail feathers pointing west. On Tuesday she hopped out of the nest long enough to reveal five wriggling babies.Professor John Marzluff, who teaches wildlife science at the University of Washington's School of Environmental and Forest Sciences.
Marzluff is the co-author, with artist and naturalist Tony Angell, of "Gifts of the Crow: How Perception, Emotion, and Thought Allow Smart Birds to Behave Like Humans." The book explores how crows, with brains outsized for their bodies, mate for life, adjust to their surroundings and learn to recognize and even scold people. "They mentally adapt to our world," Marzluff said.
The professor said we're now seeing the father crow, and perhaps an older brother from a previous year's brood, taking on food-delivery duty. "They're tending to that nest," Marzluff said. Incubation of the eggs lasted 16 to 18 days, he said. A crow will typically lay two eggs in urban areas, and four or more in places where food is plentiful, Marzluff said.
Mom mostly stays in the nest, except for occasional flights to "stretch, defecate and forage," he said. Dad brings home the bacon. From the Everett waterfront, "they could be picking up small crustaceans, fish, garbage, French fries or chicken from the urban environment," Marzluff said. "With small kids, they want mice, snakes, worms, lots of insects, any kind of high-protein item. Almost all bird nestlings are carnivores."
He said the big birds will fly in, throats bulging with food to be transferred to baby mouths. The nestlings first had naked pink skin but now are turning black. It will be a while before they have glossy black feathers. They'll go through a stage of looking "big and fat, like stomachs with a head," Marzluff said. "Then they'll get feathers and look like birds."
Although crows can live 20 to 40 years, disaster could come at any moment. Most babies "won't survive the year," Marzluff said. "They could all be killed tomorrow by a red-tailed hawk, or fall out of the nest." If they survive two years, chances are good for a long life. Crows produce one brood each year.
If the babies survive predators and other awful fates, Marzluff said they'll start leaving the nest after a month or so. "Time in the nest is variable. If someone throws a rock, they could bolt out of there early," he said.
If they stay, we'll see them walking to the nest edge, stretching and flapping wings. Crow parents provide no flying lessons, nor do they push babies out of the nest.
Marzluff shared a warning: "Be ready to be attacked, once they're out on the ground and can't fly very well. It happened with the cops," he said.
He was recalling The Herald's 2011 coverage of crows dive-bombing officers outside the Everett Police Department's north precinct downtown. "They're like velociraptors," Everett police Lt. Bob Johns said at the time.
"Almost certainly in the cop attacks, they were protecting a nest," said Marzluff, who then quipped "or it could have been personal."
Marzluff sometimes hears people say they have never seen a baby crow. They may have, but not know it. "They'll be big, almost full size, but their tails will be short," he said. Young birds have blue eyes and a pink "lip," a flap of skin between the upper and lower bills.
While those babies are learning to fly or walk, "the parents become very defensive. Anybody who comes into that sphere may get whacked," Marzluff said. "They will hit you with their feet. They can scrape and draw blood. It's not common, but it can happen."
Marzluff suggests staying far from the nest, or carrying an umbrella. If a baby is found on the ground, "don't take it to a rehab place right off," he said. The parents will still take care of it if the baby is put in a safe place in the tree, even in a hanging flowerpot filled with grass.
Marzluff said crows recognize mates by voice, and "around the roost clearly recognize their own young." It's not known how long they associate with their offspring.
Now that they have a home in The Herald neighborhood, they will stick around.
"It's the pinnacle of crowhood. They've got a mate and a territory. They're not going to give that up," Marzluff said. "They have a territory centered around that nest, and they'll visit and defend that territory every day for their lives."

Photo Gallery: Pomona shooting
POMONA - Conrad Jimenez looked down at the all-too familiar grouping of religious candles and stuffed animals left on a sidewalk Sunday afternoon in remembrance of a young man lost to violence.
"It's senseless for someone so young to die this way," Jimenez said, not really looking at any of the articles left behind, but just kind of staring through them.
He's seen these memorials before but never thought that so close to Christmas he would be standing over a memorial created for his own son, Jose Alfredo Jimenez.
"He didn't deserve this," he managed to say in a whisper.
Jose Jimenez, 18, was shot and killed just after 2 a.m. Sunday near his Pomona home. No arrests have been made.
Jaime Acosta, a friend of the slain man, walked over from his home to comfort the grieving father.
"He was a really good guy with a good heart," Acosta said of the 18-year-old. "He was always willing to help anybody out. He just had that kind of heart."
Pomona police received several calls shortly after 2 a.m. reporting several shots had been fired in the 1100 block of Park Avenue, according to a police news release.
Officers found a man, later identified as Jose Jimenez, lying on the ground with at least one gunshot wound to his upper torso, police said.
Neighbors said the young man was walking with a group of friends on Park Avenue toward his home when someone began shooting at the group, hitting him and killing him. They mentioned the attacker may have asked the group of young men what gang they were from.
"But he wasn't in gangs," the elder Jimenez said. "That's why I can't understand why this happened."
Police have not said if the shooting was gang-related in any way.
"I just hope they catch who did it," Conrad Jimenez said. "I still can't believe he's not here. I just don't have anymore tears to shed. Why him? Why?"
Anyone with information is asked to call the Pomona Police Department Homicide Bureau at 909-620-2095.

Many Americans cherish their freedoms and are politically free. But they are not really free! Why not? God's Word tells us why. Listen to find out.
On this Memorial Day weekend, we give thanks for all the unspeakably precious sacrfices men and women have made for our freedom since the days of our nation's founding. Our American history is rich with leaders who knew the Lord and whose heart's desire was to establish and maintain a nation in which the Gospel of Christ could be freely spread. The teachings of God's Word were foundational to the establishment of and the building of our nation. Sculptures and images of Old Testament worthies as well as biblical truths are enshrined in our national landmarks and monuments as a memorial to them, to God's Word, and to our founding values.
Today, unfortunately, our national values have become so warped that we have memorialized insignificant "heroes" in place of the true heroes. Many know the names and various details of the lives of sports and entertainment stars, but know very little of those who have suffered, bled, and died for our freedom since the days of our founding.
Israel's history reminds us that Americans are not the only ones who can forget about their past or have short term memories when it comes to understanding the real basis for our freedoms and our national prosperity. They, like we, have a history rich with miracles of divine intervention. Israel's history should also serve as a memorial to us of what happens when nations forget the Lord--their forgetfulness stages their national downfall.
Every American would be well-served then to give ear to the warning our text from Deuteronomy 6 delivers -- Lest we forget as well! Our text declares three important truths that must be remembered.
We believe in the reality of our freedoms because of the assertion made by our Declaration of Independence signed on July 4, 1776 and the subsequent activities of Americans who lived in light of the truths expressed in that document--those who throughout our history have "pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor."
But there is another magnificent document that offers a blessed freedom to any man of any nationality: it is called the "The Law of Liberty." It is God's "Divine Charter of Freedom." To the extent that men believe in the reality of its declaration and live in the reality of the truths expressed therein, they enjoy a
freedom that no government can give or take away & only the Author of Liberty can graciously bestow.
Whereas the U.S. Declaration of Independence asserts that "all men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," what does God's perfect "Law of Liberty" offer? In this message from James 1:25 you will discover God's perfect Law of Liberty provides the very same things!
One of the significant differences however between the two declarations is this: whereas the Declaration of Independence can only assert that men have the right to pursue happiness with no guarantee they will ever find it, God's law of liberty guarantees true happiness to the one liberated by it.
On this 4th of July in which we celebrate our nation's 237th birthday, learn how to be really free. This message from God's Word will help you do so.

Spiller, accompanied by his wife, daughter, family, friends and a host of police chiefs from around the area, took his oath of office, making him the sixth police chief since Pleasanton became a city.
City Manager Nelson Fialho told the audience of well over 150 people that both the Police Department and the community look to the chief of police for leadership, as a role model and an advocate.
"I believe Chief Spiller has all these qualities and more, and based on the turnout here, I think you do as well," Fialho said.
The city manager also listed Spiller's credentials, noting that Spiller received a bachelor's degree in science at the University of San Francisco, master's degree in arts from Saint Mary's College and is a graduate of the Senior Management Institute for Police at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
Fialho also pointed toward Spiller's other achievements: his work as a police officer in San Diego, and move to Mountain View, where he served as a sergeant and was tapped as a "rising star," and his rise through the ranks at the Pleasanton Police Department, where he served as lieutenant and captain.
"I take my oath very seriously," Spiller said. "I will serve with honor, respect and compassion."
He added that he was "eager for what's to come," and hopes to be "future focused."
"I thank you for the blessing that you've given me and I thank you for the opportunities you've given me," he said. "I accept my badge as a symbol of my role in the community."
Spiller also credited former chiefs Michael Fraser, Tim Neal and Bill Eastman. Although Neal and Eastman were in attendance at the swearing in, Fraser was attending his daughter's college graduation.
In addition, chiefs from Benicia, Emeryville, Livermore, Mountain View and San Leandro attended the ceremony, along with many members of the Pleasanton Police Department.
Also firefighters were there from the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department, including Chief Jim Miguel, whom Spiller described as his "new best friend" in keeping Pleasanton safe.
Spiller also recognized Capt. Eric Finn; he and Spiller were the two top candidates for the chief's slot and ran the department together until the final selection was made.
"You and I have done a lot of good work together," Spiller said. "I look forward to our continued partnership, and I look forward to all you give to the community."
Spiller was met with a standing ovation at the end of the ceremony.

To the editor:
I would like to comment on the recent termination of Sharon and John McVickers as the park managers at Shell Mound.
As a "VOTING" county citizen who uses this recreation area on a regular basis, I can testify that while under the McVickers' care, the campsite was one of the cleanest, best run county parks that I have had the privilege of camping in.

I have been using Backtrack 5 to create backdoor executable files using the reverse tcp payload.
I realized that this is only effective to slaves located in my LAN when using LHOST to my internal IP.
I tried switching to my IPv6 to try and make this affect targets outside of my LAN, but no luck.
It gives me a error and sets the PAYLOAD listener to 000.000.0.00 or similar.
My question to some of you that are more experienced with this is:
Is there a way to make a backdoor that works outside of LAN areas.
I have been looking into RAT's lately as well.
This is for penetration testing on my end, not black hat hacking.
Any help would be awesome!
Thanks in advance,

Dora Galacatos '96 Appointed Executive Director of the Feerick Center for Social JusticeJanuary 07, 2013
Dora Galacatos '96 has been appointed Executive Director of the Feerick Center for Social Justice effective January 1, 2013. Galacatos has been with the Feerick Center since its creation in 2006. She succeeds Professor John D. Feerick '61 who will take the title of Senior Counsel and will remain actively engaged in the activities, administration, and planning for the Center.
Galacatos, with long experience in providing legal services for low-income persons, has been recognized for her superb work in this area including receiving the Medal of Honor from Manhattan Legal Services in 2011 and the Public Service Award of the New York County Lawyers Association in 2009.
"Dora's dedication to the Center's noble mission is inspiring," said Dean Michael M. Martin. "She works ceaselessly to strengthen the efforts of the Center in its goal to help the most vulnerable and underrepresented of New York's residents, and we look forward to her continued accomplishments."
"I am thrilled by Fordham Law School Dean Michael Martin's appointment of Dora, a jewel of a leader with an extraordinary commitment to helping the poor," added Professor Feerick. "I am pleased by my designation as senior counsel, enabling me to pursue my teaching and scholarly interests while remaining heavily involved in the poverty and problem solving work of the Law School's Social Justice Center."
A Fordham Law graduate, Galacatos has extensive experience working in city government, the nonprofit sector, and legal services for low-income individuals. Before enrolling at Fordham Law as a student, she worked for the New York City Department of Juvenile Justice and the New York City for Mayor's Office of Drug Abuse Policy (1989–1993), where she focused on program development, program evaluation, and policy analysis. As part of a Skadden Fellowship (1997–98), she helped establish a family day care network at Northern Manhattan Improvement Corporation, in Washington Heights.
Prior to returning to the Law School to work for the Feerick Center, Galacatos served as Staff Director to the New York City Family Homelessness Special Master Panel, working alongside John Feerick. She also served as a law clerk to the late Honorable Milton Pollack (1996–1997) and then to the Honorable Paul A. Crotty (2005–2006), both U.S. District Court Judges in the Southern District of New York. Galacatos is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, where she received her B.A. in history (1987) and the New School for Social Research, where she was a Kaplan M. Fellow and received an M.S. in urban policy (1993).
Fordham Law School's Feerick Center for Social Justice was established in 2006 as a permanent legacy of the School's Centennial celebration. The Feerick Center works with students, alumni, lawyers, and community volunteers to connect low-income New Yorkers to the legal resources they need and cannot afford. The Center trains law students and others to engage in social justice efforts. The Center seeks to frame concrete, achievable solutions to discrete problems of urban poverty through volunteer efforts, academic courses, legal and policy research, and public conferences and lectures.

TinCaps unveil 400 Club
Parkview Field receives expensive party area in centerfield
By Fort Wayne Tin Caps | January 30, 2013 3:13 PM ET
The TinCaps have begun work on a new area that will further enhance the fan experience at Parkview Field. Located in centerfield, exactly 400 feet from home plate, this new area will be named the "400 Club." The project will include replacing the existing batter's eye with a 75-foot long "wall of windows" directly on top of the existing center-field wall. The windows will be part of a shaded structure that can, via five retractable overhead doors, be open-air or enclosed and climate-controlled. The area will include tiered table-top seating, a large bar, flat-screen televisions, food service and an outdoor patio. Replacing the existing fence-and-windscreen batters-eye with a wall of windows will allow the field to be seen from every angle around the ballpark concourse.
The 400 Club will be the first area of its kind anywhere in Minor League Baseball, providing a unique experience for up to 150 guests. It will be available for groups of 20 or more at TinCaps games and include an all-you-can-eat food menu inclusive of draft beer and wine. The 400 Club will be the first area of Parkview Field to offer all-inclusive beer and wine. On nights that the area is not occupied by groups, individual ticket-holders will be able to watch TinCaps games from the 400 Club. Because the 400 Club is climate-controlled, it will also be an attractive function space, available for use all year round through Parkview Field's Special Events division.
One hundred percent of the funding for the $800,000 project will come from the TinCaps. This will be an additional private investment (on top of the over $7 million that has been invested to date) into the City-owned ballpark made by the team and owner, Hardball Capital.
"It would be very easy to sit back and be satisfied with Parkview Field as it is," said TinCaps president, Mike Nutter. "It has been flattering to receive awards for ballpark design, food offerings, and entertainment, but our staff doesn't work for recognition or awards. The TinCaps are focused on delivering the best possible fan experience for all fans each and every game. The 400 Club will provide a new and exciting experience at Parkview Field that will add to the overall game atmosphere."
"Obtaining such a significant investment and improvement to Parkview Field without reaching into the Ballpark Improvement Fund is a testament to how determined the TinCaps and Hardball Capital are to assuring Parkview Field remains the best Minor League Ballpark in America," stated Mayor Tom Henry. "We appreciate how committed the team is to providing this community with the best ballpark experience anywhere."
The 400 Club will be designed and built by local Fort Wayne companies. Design Collaborative is serving as the lead architect and Weigand Construction as the general contractor. Populous (formerly HOK Sport, Venue and Event), the original lead architect for Parkview Field, has also served in a consulting role on the design of 400 Club.
Construction will begin in the coming weeks and completion is estimated in mid-May. The TinCaps started taking reservations from groups interested in experiencing the 400 Club today and anticipate that it will immediately be one of the most popular areas at Parkview Field.
"We were routinely selling out our options for groups of 20 or more, so we needed an additional area to meet the high demand," said Brad Shank, TinCaps vice president of ticket sales. "We continue to have tremendous interest from groups seeking outings with food service. The 400 Club will not only be an amazing ballpark experience, but it fills a void for those groups of 20-50 people that want an all-you-can-eat menu. Larger groups can also take advantage of the space since the 400 club will accommodate up to 150 fans."
For more information about Parkview Field's newest area, the 400 Club, contact the team by phone at (260) 482-6400, stop by the TinCaps Administrative Offices at Parkview Field, or visit TinCaps.com online.

Gender pay equality comes up in Governor's race
(COLUMBUS)- The issue of gender pay inequality has come up in the race for Ohio governor.
Democrat Ed FitzGerald fired the first shot with a news release from his campaign saying the issue hurts middle class families. He says it's an issue he'll address if elected as governor.
We asked the Cuyahoga County Executive's office and Ohio Governor's office for a roster of their staff along with their hourly wages. A spreadsheet provided by FitzGerald's office showed 16 men and 8 women, but omitted FitzGerald himself. We added him back in because the governor's office included Governor John Kasich in their roster, which included 37 women and 27 men.
The average pay for women in FitzGerald's office was $51.01 per hour while men made an average of $58.03. That's a gap of $7.02 per hour.
In Kasich's office, men made an average of $35.81 per hour compared to the female staffers who were paid an average hourly wage of $29.32. That's a difference of $6.49 per hour.
"FitzGerald comes out campaigning on something and then when reality comes he has the worst record in the state and he's a complete hypocrite on it," said Ohio Republican Party spokesman Chris Schrimpf.
FitzGerald disputes the numbers from the governor's office.
"They did their own analysis that not shockingly was extremely skewed and inaccurate and that's what they're trying to push out there now," he said. "Anybody that actually impartially looks at the numbers, their pay equity gap is higher than what ours is."

Rombauer wines are consistently ranked high in the wine trade journals. Many of the finest restaurants throughout the country include Rombauer wines on their list and feature them by the glass. The joy of wine is something that's important to Rombauer. Whether you are a collector of fine wines or like to have wine with food, wine is something that truly should be enjoyed. Rombauer Vineyards puts a lot of hard work and tender care into making drinkable wines. And because wine is a simple product to enjoy, emphasis is given to taking the mystique out of enjoying fine wines.
Our emphasis on the joy of wine comes from the heritage of the Rombauer family. Koerner's ancestors made wine in the famous Rheingau region in Germany and his great aunt, Irma Rombauer, wrote the book The Joy of Cooking. Hence our focus on wine as complements to good food and good friends. Every family member is actively involved in the day to day operation of the winery from selecting grapes for the winemaking process and getting the wine to market. View all Rombauer Vineyards Wines
About CarnerosView a map of Carneros wineries
Technically a part of Napa Valley, the Carneros region straddles both Sonoma & Napa counties. It's the Napa region closest to the San Francisco peninsula and the San Pablo Bay, which is instrumental in controlling the climate of the area. The winds from the San Pablo bay create a cool weather pattern ideal for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Notable FactsBoth Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Carneros are delicate, yet complex, with firm structure and acidity. And while the pair are the most popular varieties of the region, some winemakers have branched out, particularly with Syrah. The cool climate Syrah of Carneros is well structured and stylistically similar to Syrah from the Northern Rhone, though often fuller-bodied.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

"Rap — Hawaii's Comic Genius" is a delirious and devoted homage to comedian Rap Reiplinger, who continues to tickle our funny bones 27 years after his death. This flashback to his creative period — the 1970s and '80s, when Reiplinger had everybody laughing — shares his ferociously and legendary comedy and style.
We've all come to love and adore his outrageous wit and goofy folks he created and inhabited, as a soloist and with the Booga Booga trio he co-founded. You know the gang: Auntie Marialani, Fate Yanagi, Willie Maunawili, Mister Fogarty. And Russell and Wendell, too, all bouncy and batty, punctuated by Reiplinger's style, cadence, eloquence, espirit and pidgin form.
He saw the fun in everyday people and we still quote his characters today: "Russell, you get pen!" "Not too sweet, not too rancid, but just right." And he was all over the map, memorializing the tipsy food show cook, the meticulous hotel guest ordering a burger, the local-style political candidate, flight attendant. Of course, you remember 'em all.
So rejoice — Reiplinger still is makes people bus' out laughing with this DVD, just like he'd been doing for the past two+ decades. Even if you know punch lines, you gotta agree: No one delivers 'em the way Rap did.

I'm a summer girl at heart, but the styles that consistently win over that heart are those meant for fall and winter. So, I figured I should share the best-kept secret to finally attaining that cooler-weather wardrobe that you dream of all year, alongside the pumpkin-flavored beverages and cozy holiday parties that dance in your mind. Ready for it? It's simple…
Start now.
No, I'm not crazy. I recognize that we've barely broken 100 degrees here in Arizona, but I mean it. If you wait until the cool temps are nipping at your front door, you'll have to spend a fortune all at once shopping for what you need — or be left to pine over what you wish you had. Start by setting aside a predetermined amount you can (reasonably) afford to spend per paycheck on clothes through the end of the year. Smart financial planners call this budgeting; we can call it "necessary fashion investing."
If you give yourself $100 per paycheck for smart shopping starting now, you will have a vast closet enviable by the world's most style-conscious come December.
I begin by making a list of my winter wardrobe essentials. If you must know, this includes:
- jeans,
- skinny jeans (to wear with boots),
- boots,
- cardigans,
- boots,
- jackets/sweaters,
- long-sleeved shirts,
- and did I mention boots? (Clearly, I have an unhealthy obsession.)
But really, make a list. Yours might look identical to mine, or it might be more well-rounded, but figure out what you need.
Inventory your closet and decide just how many pairs of jeans you need and in what colors based on what you already have. It's a lovely chain reaction: The more specific you get in your inventory of "haves" and your list of "wants," the more intelligent your decisions will be, and the more luscious your wardrobe will become.
One reason so many women fail to have an expansive fall and winter arsenal of clothes is simply because these items are often expensive. If you get them all at once, your personal cash flow is out the window before you've started. So, buy gradually. Get one pair of boots one paycheck, a couple pairs of jeans the next, and so on.
If your favorite stores aren't showing the frosty seasons any love yet, take to the indomitable world of the Internet. While on the Web, remember to get creative. Even if everyone you know shops at Nordstrom for their clothes, maybe you can't afford to do the same. Get Googling, lady! I guarantee you can look like a classy, New York City socialite in the midst of a picturesque Times Square winter if you just put a little work into searching for steals.
One more tip? Be diverse. Don't heavily stock up on pants, but forget about tops, cardigans and jackets. Get a healthy array of pieces, so that if autumn decided to pop in a month early, you'd already have some complete outfits raring to go.
And, as I always say, have fun! It may be trite, but it's true. Fall and winter are a perfect time to play with your own sense of style. Try some scarves, kick around in some ankle boots, and give a sexy turtleneck a whirl! You won't know if you love it until you go for it. Then when that thrilling crisp finally hits the air, you'll pull back your closet door, and voila — your advanced planning paid off, and you can be crowned Miss Cool-Weather Trendsetter 2012.
Some ideas for getting your winter wardrobe's engine revved:

ok, so when i had backtrack 4 R2, I couldt Unetbootin it straight to my USB (2 gig)
and now when I try to put Backtrack 5 on, it says files wont fit? iso is 1.80 gigs and my USB holds 1.89 gigs of info.
I had it working earlier (with a KDE distribution)
but had problems (like it wouldnt start up, or it would, it would boot to text, then I would Startx and it wouldnt load the UI)
so I switched to a Gnome distribution (by the way both I took 64 bit on)
now when I put the Gnome edition on my USB drive it says there is no more space in the Casper folder, and that it may lose files if I try to continue (i do by the way)
then i reboot my computer (like normal) and boot from USB.
when I boot from USB it tells me
"make sure no discs or external media is in the drives
Press any key to reboot"
not sure whats going on?

Less than my expectations!
By Butch
from Philadelphia, PA
I had high expectations for these gloves. The gloves did not live up to those expectations. They are OK, just a little too big. My hands get cold quickly and I have a pair of gloves in most of my jackets and coats. I am always on the lookout for a good pair of gloves, these are not those.

By Raeddy

I bought these gloves for my wife. The small size fits her hands perfectly. She likes the warmth it offers. She will also wear them to bed to keep her hands comfy.
By Nancy the shopper
from Detroit, Michigan
gift recipient was sad as the fit was too large and they appeared much more casual looking than initially thinking.

By doctor woman

Warm and accommodating for arthritic hands that change shape and size almost daily. Good grip on the steering wheel.
cashmere lined deerskin gloves
By morlocke
from Laurel, MD
Does not fit well, Does not look good
I'm satisfied
By frankbaron
from glen ellyn, Il
I was looking for a warm glove and I bought these because they were advert'd as providing a good level of warmth. While they are a lot warmer than Thinsulate lined gloves they are not quite what I expected. They are not the type of glove that will perform if you are out in the cold for a long period of time. They are fine for commuters and driving but not for long walks with the dog.

As time runs out, Kakashi says that the three will be completely dropped from the bell test, but cannot become ninja due to their incomprehension of the test's goal: team-work. He then instructs Sakura and Sasuke that if they are caught feeding Naruto food, they will fail the test. Sasuke turns around and offers Naruto some of his lunch after hearing his stomach growl of hunger. Sasuke states that he does not sense Kakashi nearby and that Naruto would be a liability to them later since his weakness would impair their teamwork. Sakura sees this and offers Naruto her food as well, though she is none too happy about having to feed him since Naruto's hands were tied to the post. As soon as Naruto is fed, Kakashi dramatically appears before them. As Kakashi apparently prepares to punish them all, Sakura explains that they gave Naruto food because he's a member of their team. Kakashi then announces that they have all passed his test. He informs the team that they are the first team to ever pass his test and that they are now officially his students. He explains one of a ninja's most important rules: those who break the rules are scum, but those who abandon their friends are worse than scum.

BAMMA used to provide refereeing certificates and a register, I had that when I worked at UFC 38 and on the Ultimate Combat shows. I had nothing formal as a qualification when I worked on Lee Hasdell's promotions in the early days.
I'd be interested to learn when/if a pro-register of officials is created. Would love to get back into it again, but there aren't many promotions over here in Manila.

Shaw Shines in Loss to Fayetteville StateDecember 7, 2013
BREVARD, N.C.- The Brevard College men's basketball team fell 95-64 to Fayetteville State in nonconference action on Saturday afternoon in Felton J. Capel Arena despite a 25-point outburst by BC freshman Trevon Shaw.
Shaw went 9-of-15 from the field, including 7-of-10 from three-point range, and a perfect 3-for-3 from the foul line to lead all scorers. Shaw also grabbed six rebounds for BC.
The Broncos struck first with a three-pointer less than a minute into the game to take a 3-0 advantage. Shaw tied it with a three on BC's ensuing possession, but Fayetteville State regained the lead on Tyrell Tate three-point play at the 17:31 mark.
From there the Broncos led for the duration of the game and began to pull away late in the second half, closing the half on a 12-2 run. FSU led 49-28 at the break.
Darius Moose chipped in 20 points for the Tornados thanks to 10 made free throws, and grabbed a team-high seven rebounds.
The Tornados, however, shot only 31.7 percent from the field (20-of-63) compared to 53.2 percent (33-of-62) for the Broncos. Outside of Shaw and Moose, who combined for 45 points, no other Tornado scored more than five points.
The Tornados resume South Atlantic Conference action on Saturday December 14th when they host the Royals of Queens University in Boshamer Gymnasium.

Addiction, the Brain, and Evidence-Based Treatment NIJ
Research for the Real World Seminar March 2012 Redonna K. Chandler, Ph.D., Chief, Services Research Branch, Division of Epidemiology, Services, and Prevention Research, National Institute on Drug Abuse The criminal justice system encounters and supervises a large number of drug abusing persons. Punishment alone is a futile and ineffective response to the problem of drug abuse. Addiction is a chronic brain disease with a strong genetic component that in most instances requires treatment. Involvement in the criminal justice system provides a unique opportunity to treat drug abuse disorders and related health conditions, thereby improving public health and safety. This presentation highlights the following: 1) the neuro-biology of addiction; 2) evidence-based principles of addiction treatment; and 3) research efforts underway at the National Institute on Drug Abuse to expand knowledge on effectively addressing drug abuse in the criminal justice system. We also captured an interview with Dr. Chandler in which she discusses in three short segments:
Don't Jump the Shark: Understanding Deterrence and Legitimacy in the Architecture of Law Enforcement Tracey Meares, Deputy Dean and Walton Hale Hamilton Professor of Law November 3, 2010 Deterrence theory dominates the American understanding of how to regulate criminal behavior but social psychologists' research shows that people comply for reasons that have nothing to do with fear of punishment; they have to do with values, fair procedures and how people connect with one another. Professor Meares discussed the relevance of social psychologists' emerging theory to legal theory and practice and how deterrence and emerging social psychology theories intertwine. She described her own research in urban police departments where she has attempted to integrate the findings from social psychology with deterrence and violence reduction strategies.
Mothers and Children Seeking Safety in the U.S.: A Study of International Child Abduction Cases Involving Domestic Violence Dr. Jeffrey Edleson, University of Minnesota, Dr. Taryn Lindhorst, University of Washington, and Ms. Sudha Shetty, University of Minnesota October 12, 2010 Since the implementation of the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, thousands of abused women have faced complex litigation after seeking safety in the United States. Many have been court ordered to return their to the country from which they fled and often to their abusive partners custody. The presenters discussed the findings of an NIJ-funded study focusing on the experiences of women who as victims of domestic violence in another country, come to the U.S. in an effort to protect themselves and their children, and then face international child abduction procedures under the Hague Convention.
Police-on-Police Shootings and the Puzzle of Unconscious Racial Bias Christopher Stone, Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Professor of the Practice of Criminal Justice, Harvard Kennedy School June 24, 2010 Professor Christopher Stone recently completed a study of police-on-police shootings as part of a task force he chaired in New York State. He reported on his findings and recommendations, exploring the role of race in policing decisions, methods to improve training and tactics to defuse police-on-police confrontations before they become fatal, and methods to improve the investigations of such shootings.

What is the Faringdon Peculiar Probate Records Index?
Peculiars are parishes that have certain rights separate from their local Archdeaconry. One of these privileges can be the processing of wills and administrations and therefore the charging of fees for such work. The Berkshire Record Office have indexed the probate records for the Peculiar Court of Faringdon for the time period 1547-1853.
The Peculiar Court was under the jurisdiction of the Prebend of Salisbury, and covered the Berkshire parishes of Faringdon and Little Coxwell.
The Index is online as a PDF file on the Berkshire Record Office website.
What can I expect to find in the Faringdon Peculiar Probate Records Index?
Full name
Year of the proving of the probate
Residence of testator
Testator's occupation
Type of document such as will, administration, inventory etc.
Berkshire Record Office Reference no.
Where can I find the actual documents?
The documents themselves can be consulted at the Berkshire Record Office.

where can u get wheat paste
where can u get wheat paste
look at the front page you make it
Optik : DMA
Everything I post is somebody else's work. I have never been involved in any vandalism or destruction of property, and I assume no responsibility for what my posts may say.
When you make wheat paste, will the pot that you make it in have a layer of wheat paste left over? I don't want to use a pot and then later have to throw it out because I can't cook in it anymore.
Ok, I don't wanna piss off any hardcore pasters out there but I'd like to know if theres a paste recipe that is temporary (say a couple of months) and that will not harm the building or leave ugly marks when its taken off.
Why would you want that??
prety cool.. nah i dont know any, sorry
anyway.. just a question, for exeprienced pasters, can you paste in the winter time?
When making a poster does it matter what materials you use?? Is there some better than others?
Love those stencils by banksy lol ;D
Why are you posting banksy stencils in a wheatpaste thread
Dude, i didnt tell you that so you can start posting pics off the internet for credits.. you should take pictures of your local graffiti and put it on the forums...
Hey much appreciated for the reply and the heads up

How to Cook a Haggis
In order to dispel the myths that surround the "Cooking of a Haggis", we have listed below our recommendations. After all, we don't want to devote so much care and attention to the making of this finest of Scottish fayre only to find it " murdert " at the end of its journey!
It is worth noting that in there are many members of "The McKean Family of Haggis" which have a number of differing applications. To begin our Cooking Series we show you the simmering method which is applicable to all our natural casing haggis ( ie. Chieftain, Sma' Chief, Warrior, Wee Warriors).
- Remember to defrost the Haggis first !
- Bring a pan of water to the boil.
- Place the haggis in the boiling water. Make sure you now turn the heat down - it is important that the water is not allowed to boil for a second time as this can result in the casings bursting. Therefore SIMMER ONLY. ( A number of our haggis are provided in a "Cook-In bag" to reduce the likelihood of the casing bursting ).
- Allow the Haggis to Simmer. We have provided a "Cooking Table" at the bottom of the page which advises the length of time the Haggis should be allowed to simmer which is dependant on the size of haggis being cooked.
- The Haggis is now ready for "plating". It is now ready for cutting open - however there's only one thing missing.........
- .............that's right - "neeps an' tatties" ( ie. mashed turnip and creamed potatoes!). (For best results, serve on a piping hot plate).
Cooking Table : ( Natural Casing Products )
|Approx. Simmer Time
|The Chieftain
|2.5 kg
|2 hours
|Sma' Chief
|1 kg
|1 hour 15 minutes
|1 hour
|Wee Warrior
|20/30 minutes
We will update you on other cooking methods at a later date..........watch this space !!!!!
The Haggis is a funny Beast
To make it, strong men toil
But in cooking, it is delicate
NEVER should it boil.
It'll sit at "sub-boiling"
For the best part of a day
Until the time arrives at last
To carry it on a tray.
So people, please take note and
Do not fiddle with the knob
I set the dial earlier
I've heated many, I know my job.
If you turn the dial or poke the beast
Thinking you're one of the testers
I'll use my sword and send you off
To meet all your ancestors.

Lilienthal, "the Glider King," was the first person to make repeated, successful flights on a glider.
In the case of both monoplane and biplane, Lilienthal relied merely upon the weight of his body to counteract falling movements.
That the Lilienthal tables might themselves be somewhat in error.
Lilienthal, it will be remembered, had found his control weaken when he used a machine of large surface.
It was this problem of balancing that had cost Lilienthal his life.
The 'Bat,' as Pilcher named his first glider, was a monoplane which he completed before he paid his visit to Lilienthal in 1895.
Juno was discovered on the 1st of September, 1804, by M. Harding, of Lilienthal.
Lilienthal's work did not end with simple gliding, though he did not live to achieve machine-driven flight.
Lilienthal's first experiments were made in 1891 with a pair of semicircular wings steadied by a horizontal rudder at the rear.
Lilienthal put rice down mit almosht nottin, unt Cohen almosht gif it avay.

The Problem
There is a war of ideologies being waged on the American political scene. Those on the left and right sides of the political spectrum are simply unable to come to a viable compromise concerning prominent socioeconomic issues of today. In the meantime, while the politicians in Washington fight, the director of the Congressional Budget Office—Douglas W. Elmendorf—warned in his 2011 Long-Term Budget Outlook that the United States is headed towards the biggest economic downfall since World War II. He testified:
Policymakers will need to increase revenues substantially as a percentage of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), decrease spending significantly from projected levels, or adopt some combination of those two approaches to keep deficits and debts from climbing to unsustainable levels.
The CBO reports that for 2011, the federal government faced a 1.3 trillion dollar budget shortfall—the third largest to date—continuing its trend since 1969 of spending more than it takes in. Only in the years 2009 and 2010 were the deficits greater—those years produced the largest budget deficits in modern history. Elmendorf recommended early action and more sacrifices "for the benefit of younger workers and future generations." Simply put, the U.S. economy is in BIG trouble!
America, the most prosperous nation in the world, is currently the biggest debt owner in the world. This colossal debt is reprehensible and represents instability and insolvency to our lenders. Our looming liabilities threaten to eliminate the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency, and the loss of this status would be catastrophic. It would bring an instant devaluing of our investments, drastically drive up the cost of goods and services—hyperinflation—and create a radical change in American life as we know it. All Americans would experience a significantly lower quality of life. The idea of the American dollar collapsing should cause all Americans to take pause.
Jay Richards[1] explained that "Money has value only if trading partners believe it has value. This is why currency quickly becomes stove fuel when people stop trusting it."[2] Our colossal debt is not the result of insufficient tax revenues because we are taxed at a level sufficient enough to pay for the necessary functions of government. America's problem is excessive and wasteful spending. Any average American who has lived beyond his or her means could warn the federal government of the end result of its imprudence—reduce spending or risk losing everything. At a whopping $13,561,623,030,891 of debt—according to the 2010 U.S. Treasury report—multiple years of deficit spending by the federal government has left our children to bear the burden of our irresponsibility and profligacy. The interest alone on our nearly $14 trillion dollar debt make our meager attempts at debt solvency unrealistic.
The Cause
Many on the left, namely Democrats, choose to blame President George W. Bush for the economies troubles. On the right, Republicans give President Obama the brunt of the blame. Yet the administrations of both of these presidents, with their big spending and bailouts, and massive expansions of government have exacerbated the debt problem. We also owe a huge debt of thanks to Democrat President, Bill Clinton, for our more recent recession and debt fiasco. Back in 1995, the regulatory revisions made to the 1977 "Community Reinvestment Act" under the Clinton administration greatly weakened the housing market. Initially the law was enacted to ensure that banks were fairly addressing the lending and banking needs of those people in low and moderate-income neighborhoods that they accepted deposits from. Yet the Clinton administration's 1995 revisions forced banks to lend hundreds of billions of dollars to people with little or no credit, and even people with bad credit—lending to these high risk borrowers under the guise of "the convenience and needs of the communities."[3]
In other words, "if banks wanted to continue to indulge from the hand of government-created money and insurance (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation), then they had to prove to government agencies that they were lending these indulgences to even the un-creditworthy in their community." The revisions to the Community Investment Act became a powerful mandate that reshaped lending practices. This act was a recipe for economic disaster that the banks initially opposed because they didn't want to be "forced" into bad lending. Regardless, congress passed the initiative, alluring banks into lending big money to people with little or no credit.
To his credit, in 2003 President Bush attempted greater oversight of the two major government-sponsored lenders of the subprime, or risky loans—Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac—yet Democratic opposition shut his measure down, accusing Bush and the Republicans of all things, racism. Shocking! We know the end of this sad story—the 2007 subprime mortgage crisis led to the collapsing of a housing bubble that brought the banking and real estate industry to their knees.
To add insult to injury, the Federal Reserve Board's response to the mortgage crisis was grossly irresponsible and unethical. Wayne Grudem noted that "The Federal Reserve decided to pump reserves into the financial system by purchasing $1.2 trillion in assets, including $750 billion in mortgage-backed securities from companies like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac . . . leading to increased inflation and thereby robbing everyone in society of the value of their dollars and their contract."[4] Simply put, the government rewarded reckless and irresponsible behavior by loaning hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer money to bailout the big banks and the mortgage agencies, with more than half of the money going to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Economist Thomas DiLorenzo described that the current financial debacles are simply the "chickens coming home to roost after more than 30 years of progressive government interference and artificially deformed markets."[5] The current crisis is not a sudden or surprising occurrence, but the eventual result of salvation politics.[6]
No one is innocent in this scandal of magnificent proportions, not even the voters. The recent political protest movement, Occupy Wall Street (OWL), self-righteously protest the "Wall Street" bankers and the "1%" of the rich. Yet these crooks are the ones who knowingly elect politicians who extort money from others to subsidize irresponsibility and greed—they vote for big government. OWL's voted for crony capitalists who afforded political favors and preferential treatment for their friends at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Many of them voted for our current president, Obama. He handed over a trillion dollars in taxpayer funds to bailout Fannie and Freddie, and the auto-industry and banks they now protest!
These OWL's are the same who continue to vote for increased government spending on federally funded entitlements—the biggest debt busters of all. Currently, the federal government is scrambling to fund its existing entitlements in Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, retirement pensions, and welfare. The funding of future entitlements is an even greater concern. If the Federal Reserve continues the practice of pumping dollars into the system to keep up with government expenditures, Wayne Grudem asserts that "we can soon expect to see record high interest rates and/or inflation, coupled with the collapse of many entitlements."[7] According to the White House Office of Management and Budget, entitlement spending as a percentage of GDP has now doubled that of U.S. spending on national defense. An increase in entitlement spending and a decrease in spending on national defense, a core constitutional function of government, indicates clearly—our government's priorities are misguided.[8]
Stay tuned for Unsinking the Titanic-Part 2, Ethical Implications. Excerpt: "Spending of this sort is immoral; it is sure to hurt the poor and others who are dependent upon the government for their livelihood. America's reckless entitlement spending has baited many American's into dependency and has promised future payments that won't be worth the paper they are printed on."

Outrageous Fortunes (ニョロゾのしんか! Poliwhirl's Evolution!) is the 38th episode of Pokémon: Master Quest.
Whilst heading to Blackthorn City, Ash and co. spot a trainer battling with his Poliwrath. After seeing it battle, Ash wants a go, but Misty intervenes. After the battle Misty gets her Pokémon healed and Poliwhirl takes Ash's King's Rock. After the second battle the trainer introduces himself as Delaney, and a while after that he is tricked by Jessie, disguised as a fortune teller. Can Ash and co. help Delaney get his Poliwrath back, and is there more than one way to make a Poliwhirl evolve?
Episode Plot
The heroes manage to find a Pokémon Center. However, they see a battle against trainers' Hitmontop (who uses Triple Kick and misses) and a Poliwrath (who uses Double Slap). Poliwrath uses Submission, defeating Hitmontop. Ash thinks Fighting-type Pokémon can learn Submission, but Misty points out Poliwrath learns it once it evolves from Poliwhirl. The trainer challenges anyone to fight his Poliwrath, so Ash accepts. However, Misty wants to battle, causing Ash to bicker with her. The trainer proposes he can battle them both, so Ash lets Misty go first, thinking it will be over quick. Misty yells as Ash thinks he might lose, but Ash does not state that.
Misty sends Poliwhirl, who starts with Water Gun. Poliwrath responds with the same attack and collides. Poliwhirl uses Bubble, but Poliwrath dodges and retaliates with Double Slap. With Submission, Poliwhirl is defeated. The trainer is happy, though Ash sends Bayleef to fight it. Bayleef uses Razor Leaf, but Poliwrath dodges and counters with Double Slap. Poliwhirl recovered, so Misty advises it to watch the battle, hoping it will evolve into a Poliwrath soon. Team Rocket observes and Jessie states she wants to capture Poliwrath instead of Pikachu. Jessie thinks they need to capture Poliwrath first, then they'll have chance of capturing Pikachu later. James and Meowth support this idea.
Bayleef and Poliwrath are exhausted. Bayleef goes to tackle and Poliwrath goes to use Double Slap, but Brock declares the battle a draw, as Poliwrath seems too exhausted. Ash compliments Poliwrath, whose trainer is Delaney. Later, Misty goes with Ash and Brock to heal Poliwhirl. Suddenly, Ash falls down over a slippery ground. Chansey is worried, but Ash responds he is fine. Everyone collects his stuff, so Poliwhirl gazes upon the King's Rock before being called back to Misty's Poké Ball. Ash leaves his Poké Balls to Nurse Joy to be treated. Delaney walks and meets with a prophet (who is Jessie). She tells she can predict the future, although Delaney is suspicious of her. Meowth and James come as farmers, telling she always predicts the future correctly, even stating that she predicted correctly that the oranges would grow and sell quite well.
They leave oranges to the prophet, making Jessie annoyed due to bad acting. The prophet sees Delaney possesses a powerful Poliwrath. She sees Delaney will become rich, but his Poliwrath would be influenced by evil. She states she can remove evil forces, so Delaney leaves his Poké Ball to her. Delaney counts to thirty, so Team Rocket goes to get away. However, he opens his eyes on ten and sees his Poké Ball being taken away, so yells out. The heroes go to help Delaney to get his Poké Ball back from Team Rocket, who flies away in a balloon. The heroes and Delaney track them down, but roll down a slope, into a truck with hay. Ash goes to send Noctowl to track them down, but Misty and Brock remind him he left his Poké Balls at the Center. Nevertheless, Ash knows they need to get it back.
Team Rocket is happy they got Poliwrath. Jessie sends Poliwrath and lets it know she is its master, who responds by using Double Slap on her. Jessie sends Arbok, who gets defeated by the same attack. James tries to befriend it, but Poliwrath responds by using Submission on James. Meowth tries to talk with Poliwrath, but gets soaked by Water Gun. Still, Jessie promises nobody Double Slaps her and gets away with it. The heroes came to a lodge and Ash contacts Joy to send his Pokémon over. Joy does that and soon Ash has his Poké Balls back. Suddenly, a farmer reports a Poliwrath battles an Ursaring. Team Rocket has Ursaring controlled with devices to battle. Poliwrath is forced to use Double Slap on Ursaring, who fights back. Jessie controls Poliwrath, who uses Submission on Ursaring, sending it flying away.
The heroes come and see Poliwrath being controlled. Ash sends Phanpy, who gets hit by Water Gun. Ash orders Phanpy to use Take Down, but Delaney warns Ash he is battling his Poliwrath. Poliwrath uses Double Slap, so Misty sends Corsola. Corsola tackles the device, then uses Spike Cannon, causing the device to fall off. However, the device is attached to Jessie, so Meowth *chooses her* to battle. Meowth forces Jessie to battle, so Corsola tackles her. Jessie goes to tackle back, but gets defeated by Spike Cannon. James forces her to use Flamethrower and Hyper Beam, but Jessie does not know that. So, James forces her to use Submission, causing her to miss. Poliwrath uses Double Slap, causing the device to fall off. James sends Victreebel (who gnaws on its master) and Jessie sends Arbok. Misty sends Poliwhirl, who wears Ash's King's Rock, causing it to evolve.
Poliwhirl became a Politoed. Brock remembers Poliwhirl can evolve into Poliwrath with a Water Stone or into Politoed with a King's Rock. Phanpy goes to use Take Down against Arbok, while Victreebel goes to attack Politoed, who shakes hands with it. Politoed uses Water Gun against Victreebel's Razor Leaf, then uses Double Slap on Victreebel. While Ash goes to rescue Phanpy (who is wrapped by Arbok), Politoed uses Swagger, forcing Arbok and Victreebel to attack each other. However, Arbok hits Politoed, so Brock reads that the enemy gets confused, but its attack is raised. Poliwrath and Politoed use Double Slap on Arbok and Victreebel, while Phanpy takes them down. Team Rocket falls down, so Delaney catches his Ball back. With a Thunderbolt, Team Rocket blasts off.
Later, Delaney thanks the heroes for assistance, who go to Blackthorn City.
- This marks the first time that a battle with a opponent ended in a draw for Ash.
- The "Who's that Pokémon?" is Pinsir.
