Twenty two local people – along with 20 Bollywood dancers – will be representing the group in the parade.
Community development worker Julie Hursthouse said it had been an 'amazing project' to work on.
She said: "We have engaged over 100 people and the result will be a walking entry in this year's Weymouth Carnival. Thanks to our local sponsors."
Carnival chairman Elysia Munday said preparations were going well.
She said: "We've got such an exciting day lined up and it's almost here. We really hope that our supporters get behind our £1 for carnival scheme too so we can make a difference to good causes and charities!
"The procession applications are still flooding in - volunteers too. The team have worked hard and have been battling against the odds this year as we've faced new challenges across the board.
"The forecast looks great and the event line-up is even better. We hope to see everyone having a fantastic day."

An Uncertain Certainty
How Screwtape Leads the Postmodern Man to Hell
by David Mills
One cause of misery and vice is always present with us in the greed and pride of men," C. S. Lewis wrote in 1943 in an essay called "The Poison of Subjectivism." Sometimes, however, misery and vice are "greatly increased by the temporary prevalence of some false philosophy. Correct thinking will not make good men of bad ones; but a purely theoretical error may remove ordinary checks to evil and deprive good intentions of their natural support."
Postmodern Fall
Lewis did not use the term "postmodern," but he knew the perennial human temptations so well that he helps us understand the spiritual danger of the fallen creature I call Everyday Postmodern Man: the man who knows just enough of postmodern thinking—almost always in the vulgarized forms passed on through Time and television—to build an effective defense against any appeal to reason and evidence.
A neighbor who has never heard of Lyotard or Foucault or Derrida will tell you that "what you see depends on where you sit," and that your objection to an error "just depends on whose ox is gored," and that people like religious leaders make up rules to control everyone else, and that an appeal to principle is just a cover for self-interest, and that words mean what you think they mean. He will defend any behavior of which you but not he disapproves by saying that "it's all relative" or "it's a matter of culture" or "people just see things differently." And he will believe, as he says this, that he is proving his sophistication and wisdom.
And yet, at the same time, he will believe some things to be undeniably true. He will be horrified by child abuse. You will not find, through the length and breadth of the American middle class, a public defender of incest. You will not find anyone advocating slavery, or making women wear burkas, or sending adulterers to the electric chair.
He will believe with equal certainty in a whole host of ideas, depending on his politics, from "a woman's right to choose" to the constitutional right to keep guns in your house. You may well find him insisting on that truth with jihadist passion and certainty.
If you talk to the Everyday Postmodernist long enough, you will feel as if you are speaking to two people inhabiting the same body. But, and this is the crucial point for our purposes, you cannot get him to recognize the contradiction, much less defend it. He hops from certainty to relativism and back. His philosophy requires no more of him, and justifies him in doing no more.
Postmodern Genius
The genius of this sort of idea is that it protects its devotees from rational challenge. They cannot easily be corrected, and worse, feel this to be a virtue, especially open-mindedness and tolerance. But it is a dangerous point of view, one of those false philosophies likely to increase misery and vice, and it is, unless I miss my guess, the way most of our friends, neighbors, and co-workers think.
Lewis can help us understand the Everyday Postmodernist, and his The Screwtape Letters—letters from an expert tempter named Screwtape to his nephew, the apprentice tempter Wormwood, about the "patient" the nephew is trying to lead to hell—in particular can help us understand the peculiar temptations he faces.
In describing what the devils do to disrupt a man praying, Screwtape notes that, "Mortals always picture us as putting things into their minds: in reality our best work is done by keeping things out." As he notes in explaining to Wormwood how to corrupt a man's humility (easier than it sounds), "The great thing is to make him value an opinion for some quality other than truth."
Hell can easily exploit the muddled vision Everyday Postmodernism creates. Men, Screwtape tells the graduating devils in "Screwtape Proposes a Toast," which Lewis wrote some years after the book, "are vermin so muddled in mind, so passively responsive to environment, that it was very hard to raise them to that level of clarity and deliberateness at which mortal sin becomes possible." Hell tries to "harden these choices of the Hell-ward roads into a habit by steady repetition. But then (and this was [is] all-important) to turn the habit into a principle."
Everyday Postmodernism keeps out of a man's mind all the demands and requirements that any consistent system of ideas would present to him, and lets him act with great freedom because he has no fixed principles to which he feels committed. (Other than the fixed principle that there are no fixed principles.)
Of course, having a consistent and systematic philosophy cannot save a man, and indeed presents its own temptations, but it does help brace the man who takes it seriously from giving in to temptations that exploit intellectual flexibility. The man with fixed principles will be tempted to dominate and coerce those who do not agree with him, but if he tries to hold to his principles, however badly, he will be somewhat protected from those temptations that depend on ignoring the truth. If he tries to be a good Christian, or a good Buddhist or Marxist, or even a good Nietzschean, he will have a tradition to obey however he feels and whatever he wants at the moment.
Here I want to offer a summary of three temptations that Everyday Postmodernism eases or invites, and some of the ways such people can be brought to spiritual ruin, as analyzed by Screwtape, though I cannot in the space at hand do any justice to his quite subtle analyses of the human soul and its weaknesses. This is not at all a comprehensive list of the insights into Everyday Postmodern Man the book offers, but a selection, even a taster, offered mostly in the hope that a few good quotes will send readers to the book.
Though a masterpiece, The Screwtape Letters is a book that, judging from conversations, many of Lewis's fans have not read. And they should, right away. It is a book at once interesting, amusing, compelling, humbling, and convicting.
Despised Past
The temptation to despise the past. "The horror of the Same Old Thing," writes Screwtape, "is one of the most valuable passions we have produced in the human heart, an endless source of heresies in religion, folly in counsel, infidelity in marriage, and inconstancy in friendship." Because people so fear the Same Old Thing, they want incessant change.
The devils use this desire in various ways. One is to seduce them by the pleasures of what Lewis elsewhere called "chronological snobbery" and Screwtape calls "The Historical Point of View," the unearned but still satisfying feeling of superiority to everyone in the past—not least the giants, the Aristotles and Shakespeares and Austens—because you were born now and not then.
Screwtape observes that the devils have been successful with the learned, those thought to be the guardians of our relation to the past. They rarely ask of an old book whether it is true, but who influenced the writer, how the text fits with the other books he wrote, and so on. (Notice the subtlety of the technique: It encourages the learned to learn many interesting things but neglect to learn the most important.) They were equally successful with the unlearned. The great use of this is that
In another letter, Screwtape explains the technique further: "The greatest triumph of all is to elevate this horror of the Same Old Thing into a philosophy so that nonsense in the intellect may reinforce corruption in the will. It is here that the general Evolutionary or Historical character of modern European thought (partly our work) comes in so usefully." When men should ask if an action is good and wise, now they ask, "Is it in accordance with the general movement of our time? Is it progressive or reactionary? Is this the way that History is going?"
And since they cannot answer those questions, Screwtape writes, "we have the better chance to slip in and bend them to the action we have decided on." Though he does not put it this way, Screwtape keeps telling Wormwood to remove his patient from his attachments and direct him to a phantasmal future, from realities to unrealities, because then his mind and soul are most vulnerable.
Any modern man feels this temptation to despise the past, but the Everyday Postmodernist is more vulnerable to it because his philosophy cuts him off from the past. He thinks that the past has nothing to say to him, and indeed cannot say anything to him, even if he wants to listen to it.
The Faith Phase
The temptation to treat faith as a phase. Throughout his letters, Screwtape repeatedly notes that men do not realize how much their bodies and the natural course of their lives affect their thought. (He offers a particularly insightful analysis of how the natural development of a marriage can be used to corrupt the soul, beginning with the confusion of erotic infatuation with real charity and the unrealistic expectations this creates in the naive.)
Early in the book, after Wormwood's patient has become a Christian, Screwtape suggests that he take advantage of his patient's current low spirits to suggest that his seriousness about his faith is just a phase like others he has gone through and bound to pass away as they had. Screwtape is happy for the patient to remain a Christian, as long as he is the right sort of Christian: "A moderated religion is as good for us as no religion at all—and more amusing."
He tells Wormwood to make the patient assume that all the effects of his simply feeling a little depressed reveal what the world is really like and that the loss of the excitement of the days just after his conversion showed that it was only a phase. He shrewdly notes that a man always feels himself superior to the phases he has gone through in the past, and continues, "You see the idea? Keep his mind off the plain antithesis between True and False. Nice shadowy expressions—'It was a phase'—'I've been through all that'—don't forget the blessed word 'Adolescent'."
Here again the Everyday Postmodernist has adopted a philosophy that makes him more vulnerable to a common human temptation. Someone with a faith to which he is committed—whether he accepts that "Thus says the Lord" or "Thus says Karl Marx"—knows that what he thinks true will be true no matter how he feels, and that his "phases" may affect how he lives out his faith but not the truth of the faith itself. If his initial commitment was rational, it is still rational, even if he feels the burdens of middle age rather than the impetuous drives of youth.
Compromising Faith
The temptation to win friends and status by little compromises. Lewis was especially aware of the extent to which we can betray our ideals gradually and accidentally, in the attempt to please others, and particularly to get ourselves into what he elsewhere called "the inner ring." Screwtape brings up the matter several times. At one point, Wormwood's patient has fallen in with a group of literary skeptics, and Screwtape asks if he committed himself to them in some useful (damning) way.
Screwtape offers two techniques for exploiting such betrayal. The second works upon the patient's vanity.
And so, Screwtape concludes with obvious glee, "while being permanently treacherous to at least two sets of people, he will feel, instead of shame, a continual undercurrent of self-satisfaction."
Someone with a faith to which he is committed can do this, of course, but it is much harder. He is marked as a man of his faith and thus less likely even to be invited into such circles, and when among such people he has a better idea of when he ought to object or dissent. He may not do so, of course, but he knows better when he ought to do so.
The Everyday Postmodernist, even if committed to something, even if committed to Christianity, has at hand a host of rationalizations when his desire for acceptance becomes too great to resist. He suddenly thinks, for example, that their mockery of things he thinks he holds dear may be only "their truth," and who is he to disturb the party's good spirits by imposing "my truth" on them?
Corrupted Feelings
These are just three of the perennial temptations to which Everyday Postmodernism leaves its followers particularly vulnerable. It does this, I think, because it teaches people to rely on their own insights and intuitions as the only source for their truths or narratives, which is to say, it lets them rely on their feelings without realizing it, and for all the reasons Screwtape explains, their feelings, undirected by thought, will lead them astray—and not only astray, but quite possibly to hell.
And as people rely more and more on their feelings, they are more and more easily misled. Screwtape advises his nephew to try to corrupt his patient's mind by working on his feelings. Doing so, Screwtape shows through his letters, is (for a "patient") surprisingly easy.
For example, Wormwood must make his patient " feel, when he sees human remains plastered on a wall, that this is what the world is really like and that all his religion has been a fantasy." The devils have successfully confused men about the meaning of "real," and gotten them to believe
This is, in fact, the way some of the more pessimistic Everyday Postmodernists see the world, encouraged by a philosophy that claims to let them "see through" the illusions, like religion, that others accept naively.
You see the great use of this diabolical technique. The man who thinks this way is thinking very, very badly—is in fact seeing what is not there, and not seeing what is there in front of him—at the very moment he is thinking himself realistic and wise for seeing through the sentimental meanings the less courageous give to things. "Your patient," Screwtape continues, "properly handled, will have no difficulty in regarding his emotion at the sight of human entrails as a revelation of reality and his emotion at the sight of happy children or fair weather as mere sentiment."
But the patients who think this cannot be argued out of it. Their belief that all beliefs are subjective, cultural, and personal is a sort of barrier or blinder that prevents them from examining the belief itself, for examination requires a second step they will not allow. They refuse to reason about the unreasonableness of their use of reason. It is a principle or axiom they will not test.
Avoiding God
This is the real genius of Everyday Postmodernism as a strategy for avoiding God. "The trouble about argument is that it moves the whole struggle onto the Enemy's own ground," Screwtape tells Wormwood in his first letter.
The trick is to keep the "patient" always thinking about this world and to avoid any hint that there is more to this world than meets the eye. People find it "all but impossible to believe in the unfamiliar while the familiar is before their eyes," Screwtape continues, and warns Wormwood to keep his patient away from the "real sciences" like physics because "they will possibly encourage him to think about realities he can't touch and see."
As I said above, Everyday Postmodern Man switches at will between relativism and absolutism, as he needs or wants to. The effect of the spread and social approval of relativism has not been to make people consistently relativistic (which is to say, nihilistic) but to make them selectively relativistic. Given the reality of original sin, we choose the paradigm of the moment to satisfy our own interests and desires.
Of course the Everyday Postmodern Man does not see this, because he does not think about it. As a fallen man, he cares less for the truth of an idea than for its use, and he has a philosophy, vague as it is, that makes him feel justified in this. And one, as Screwtape notices, that appeals to his vanity and self-regard. Such a man, Screwtape wrote his nephew Wormwood in the first letter,
Everyday Postmodernism stresses "tolerance" and "openness" and the like more than strength and courage, but the effect is exactly the same. A man busy displaying his tolerance is less likely to ask himself about the ideas of which he feels tolerant.
Hidden Hell
As Screwtape explains in "Screwtape Proposes a Toast," men send themselves to hell with little steps they hardly notice they are taking. The peculiar danger of Everyday Postmodernism is that by "keep[ing] knowledge out of the mind" and making its devotee "value an opinion for some quality other than truth," it hides from men the fact that they are going somewhere at all.
You want to steal money from your employer. It's not much money, and you really do need it, and you feel the company owes it to you because you work harder than everyone else. If you are a Christian, you cannot help but remember that God has said very definitely that you shall not steal. You might still take the money, but you have either to admit that you are stealing or work very hard to convince yourself that you are not.
But if you are an Everyday Postmodernist, you have seen through the law and know that it represents the interests of the rich and powerful. It does not bind you. It has nothing to do with God or eternity or any simple idea of right and wrong. You may feel guilty, because you grew up in a semi-Christian culture, but you know you feel guilty only because you internalized the rules you were raised with. If your boss doesn't catch you, you're home free.
This is the kind of muddled mind Screwtape describes:
The social atmosphere of Everyday Postmodernism holds that this is not a very important matter, that it is someone else's truth, and probably just the religious descendent of the ways a bunch of clerics got control over everyone else in the Dark Ages. It is impossible, given what the Everyday Postmodernist thinks, to argue him out of this belief.
Many people will say that the Everyday Postmodernist has made an honest mistake—he has just accepted what his culture teaches, after all—and should not be penalized for doing what his philosophy leads him to do. I think, and think Lewis would agree, that to become an Everyday Postmodernist at all is a moral choice. You must willfully turn your back on the truths, in J. Budziszewski's phrase, "we can't not know."
Only God knows how he will judge the guilt of any individual soul, but the effect of living by this false philosophy is as Screwtape, ever realistic, says:

Cyclopean - Art and Update
Scott has posted some new Cyclopean interiors to the official forum and we'll print the accompanying blurb as a development update. Here we go:
Here's some geometry I've been working on that may interest a few fans out there in the fathomless void.
I hear some of you* asking Why are there no furnishings? I'm concentrating on base areas right now, Downtown Arkham exteriors, and interior floorplans. I figure if I get someone to help out with 3D models one day, he will most likely be working on props as my interiors follow a very strict protocol in regarding to sizing. I also have my own texture-mapping system which some have called insane... Some doors are missing as well-- they are separate props. One other thing: before final export I intend to warp a few roofs and skew the buildings slightly out of true, but light cosmetic touches like that are best saved until you absolutely know no further editing is needed.
I've been writing as well, mostly fleshing out the big plotlines and breaking them down into the step-by-step progression that will ultimately be required for them to be scripted.

Powell's sad farewell to British features was, by his own admission, crippled by lack of any conviction in the script. In a series of flashbacks from a Trooping the Colour ceremony, a young officer (Daniel Massey) remembers the abiding family problem: his dead brother is forever held up to him as an example by their military father, who is totally obsessed with the pride of the service. Despite an imposing performance by Raymond Massey in this role, neither the period frolics (which include a visit to a 'beat' club) nor the ponderous heroics carry much conviction, with only the faintest whiff of the flair or emotion that infused The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp.

Background on PCV
Updated May 14, 2010
Porcine circovirus types 1 and 2 (PCV1 and PCV2) are both small viruses composed of a single strand of circular DNA. Both viruses are common in pigs. Neither PCV1 nor PCV2 are known to infect or cause illness in humans, however PCV2 may cause illness in pigs.
PCV1 and PCV2 should not be confused with "PCV7" and "PCV13," which are common abbreviations for two licensed pneumococcal conjugate vaccines, Prevnar and Prevnar 13. These vaccines are not related to circoviruses.
Is PCV a pig material?
No. PCV is a virus. It is not an animal material.

Washington Post Interviews Future NBA Commissioner Adam Silver '88
From the Washington Post:
NBA deputy commissioner Adam Silver is almost four months away from replacing David Stern as the next league commissioner. Stern will step down on Feb. 1 after an incredible 30-year reign in which the NBA added seven franchises, became a multibillion dollar enterprise and expanded into an immensely popular global brand.
Silver, a graduate of Duke and the University of Chicago Law School, joined the NBA in 1992 and has worked for the league in several capacities, including as special assistant to the commissioner, NBA chief of staff and president of NBA Entertainment. He has shared an office suite with Stern since he became deputy commissioner seven years ago. Last week, at Stern's last Board of Governors meeting with NBA owners, Silver presented his boss a commemorative bobblehead with "David J. Stern" printed at the base.
"There were some really touching moments, no question," Silver said of meeting last week. "And for the record, I did not design that bobblehead. I did give it to him, but I did not design it."
Silver, 51, has been involved in negotiations for merchandising and television deals for the NBA but is about to accept the reins of a league that continues to grow, is loaded with young, marketable stars and has a labor deal that is favorable to owners.

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/User:SysRq/Abortion
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit User:SysRq/Abortion
Alright, so here's the third article I'm gonna try and get reviewed since my return to Uncyc. And yet, none of them have been reviewed yet. Curious. Anyways, this article is actually up at the Turkey Day Ball, so I really want to know if this is going to stand any chance of winning. And whether it wins or not, I want to know if this is a good enough rewrite to replace the existing Abortion article, which isn't terrible. PEEING members only, please, as usual. Thanks in advance. sirsysrq @ 03:34 Dec 7
- OK, I'm not a peeing member, but I'm going to tell you what I thought when I read your article, and you're going to listen, OK? I'm also not going to make this fit the template, just because I don't want to. I think this is a good article. The reason for this is that it's actually satire. You've skilfully avoid dumb, unfunny jokes, and rather just go for presenting the opposite of popular opinion. The major joke here (that abortion is good), did bore me a little bit by the end, but I can see you have tried to diversify this with sub-jokes like how people get pregnant, and the vacuum cleaner stuff.
- Some bits I didn't get. I'm not saying that they're wrong because I didn't understand, just letting you know that this reader (sample size 1) didn't understand, hence didn't find them funny.
- Roe vs Wade. I'm assuming this was a real court case, but I've never heard of it before.
- German Shepherds??

- Rebuttal!
- Thanks for taking interest, and I appreciate you respecting my request for PEEING members. Your words are spot on, your praise appreciated, your advise noted. Just to let you know, Roe v Wade is the American court case decision in 1970 in which a woman's right to an abortion was protected. The names I used in that section are the real names of the attorneys and "Jane Roe" (her name actually was Norma L. McCorvey). Most Americans will, or should, at least understand that Roe v Wade is a real court case.
- The German Shepherd bit is admittedly weak. I only used it to have something to reference later on. It's a cheap humor technique I've used with varying success in the past. If it's just too out there, I can remove it; before I do that I'm going to wait for a full review from someone else, no offense.
- Thanks again, you've given me some reassurance that I don't suck at this "writing" deal. I just hope this is as offensive as I intended it to be. sirsysrq @ 19:40 Dec 7
- I presume you're still up for a PEEING member to come up and review this. I have several family members who are torn on the abortion subject, so I'm glad to see a humourous veiwpoint on it. I'll pop out a review before midweek, or perhaps abort it by tomorrow. --Nachlader 21:50, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
- Absototalutely, Nachalader. Nothing would delight me more than a review from one of my favorite young reviewing talents. All I ask is that it happen sometime before the 11th if you think you could manage, as that's when the judging begins for Turkey Day Ball. Thanks in advance! sirsysrq @ 22:00 Dec 7
- I'll just do it today then. --Nachlader 23:00, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

|Superb, incredulous, site-defining cynical humour, written by someone who clearly has an idea about what he's doing (and I don't mean any article, this is the kind of joke you do not share at dinner, so a careful, but up-front writer is desired here), that is yet certainly more than ripe for improvement, even if it is almost certainly spectacular humour in it's current state. The article reeks of strong thought and hindsight on your behalf, it is evidently well planned and executed beautifully with one clean swipe of the axe.
Even though I'd agree to leave this article unedited forever in all it's glory, I still have a few ideas you might want to consider, that could potentially strengthen the article still.
|Excellent, straightforward concept. A clever, but simple reversal tool that states abortion as a form of pleasure, which is ridiculous gold, but gold nonetheless (a similar joke is used in castration, where the author suggests you use a mallet to hit your private parts with, resulting in a euphoric sensation). However, I am concerned that the article has less content than I thought it would have. If you agree with this view, I have several ideas to help fatten the article up for the evil witch bitch who lives in the house made of sweets.
There are a few areas of this particular topic you could've taken a humour toll upon. Abortion, as everyone knows, is a topic of much debate in the gossip circles of chattering nannies. However any potential parody of an "abortion is 'rong" debate is rendered fruitless by your concept, which states that most people are in favour of it. Although, you could do further to antagonise real self-pleasure devices (dildos, vibrators, chocolate, etc) that females use, to propose good in favour of abortion. With the harrowing debate on whether abortion should be legal or not, you could do the same here by dictating that the "pleasures of abortion has overtaken the tool of Satan that is a filthy dildo". Something along those lines anyway.
Furthermore, in the "Innovations in Abortion" section, there is a list opportunity I think, but certainly not without each item boasting a description. It would certainly strengthen, what I think is, the weak line that concludes the section. I have a few suggestions forthwith:
I was also considering suggesting some kind of a spork, but I think readers find it a tad too overused on this site. Also, a reference note explaining the German Shepherds may help the reader. It confused Aaaaaaaaaaaaadddddddddddddddaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmmmm anyway it seems.
One other note: as a foreigner to your star-spangled land, it can be quite awkward when an article talks about a topic that is pretty general for the world, but the article only ever mentions it in one nation, in this case, America. I wholeheartedly understand the sensitivity in America towards abortion, but that same furore exists elsewhere. If you really want to stick to your guns, at least start sentences off with "in the world, particularly in the USA" and the like. Cowabunga, man?
|Prose and formatting:
|Nothing problematic here, although as mentioned above, there isn't as much content as the potential warrants, in my opinion anyway. Text hunger aside, the prose is confluent and free of typos, the grammar is well solicited and kept warm in a home. The organisation is propped up well, although on one leg it seems, as some text is seperated from paragraphs ("Other innovations in abortion include comfortable recliner seats with cupholders, and membership cards similar to those at recreation centers for speedy check-ins. " looks lonely) and of course, what I've already mentioned, the fact that the content is a bit starving makes the sections appear insignificent.
One minor note: Consider removing the red link to Bill Donohue, which is in the "Public opinion" section, although the lad sounds like he could do with an article himself. Also, don't forget to categorise the article should you happen to move it, though I'm sure you'll remember to do that anyway.
|Certainly very good, three good images supply much mirth for an article of this length. The first image is a bit big, justified only that it adds instant humour value to the reader upon first sight of the article, although I'd still consider resizing it a bit. The second image is a bit sickening, but eventually is fucking fantastic for the article (I noticed this image was from the other abortion article, so well done for attempting to salvage something from that wreckage). The third image is, in my veiw, strictly necessary for an article on abortion, even if it lacked a caption.
The only suggestion I could make is a picture of a handheld vacuum, if you choose to implement my suggestion in the concept section of this review that is. I haven't actually seen one in years, so the notion of a vacuum cleaner that is held by one hand may not appear obvious to some slow minds.
|Final Score:
|Were Uncyclopedia less suceptible to interweb-wide scrunity this way, I'd be off to VFH in a second to see this nom'd. However, it seems the place for this article is the Turkey Day Ball, the alternative competition for dangerously offensive articles. However, I've not seen the other entrants yet, so I wouldn't know if this article is tipped for the top.
Regarding the current article on this subject, I'm very sure no-one will notice if you abort that article and do your own orgasmic abortion business all over it. As for my suggestions, I've no idea if you are willing to add any more content or ideas to this article, so in either case, I believe the article is deservant of a good score in it's current state.

You really shouldn't be getting pee reviews for stuff in the Aristocrat's competition, SysRq... - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 23:20, Dec 8
- Oh...am I disqualified or something? I won't edit it until the judging is complete, if that helps any. Nachlader, thanks a TON for the review. I'll properly thank you later, but I can't respond to TLB and not say a word about this fantastic review. TLB, I hope I'm not in trouble or anything. I only got a review because after I wrote this I thought that maybe this would make for a good "real" article and wanted feedback before mainspacing it.

The rock band secure the first position on the U.S. albums chart with 179,000 copies sold, forcing Katy Perry to give up the hot spot.
Rockers the Disturbed have scored their fourth number one album in America. "Asylum" debuts at the top of the Billboard 200 chart with 179,000 copies sold. The group previously stormed to the top of the countdown with "Indestructible", "Ten Thousand Fists" and "Believe".

Description: Hey guys, this is Dawn with another awesome and exciting tutorial for you all. Yesterday I thought about doing the most adorable tutorial on a very lovable animal...the panda. Seeing that there's tons of artwork on pandas in a cute fashion, I decided to make a tutorial on "how to draw a cute panda step by step".You're probably thinking, "wow, don't you already have one of these tutorials?" The answer to that would be yes, it's actually resting in the top fifty at number 25. I did that drawing tutorial almost two years ago, it still contains it's lovable cuteness. The tutorial I did today would have to be the easiest tutorial to ever complete. I made a good variety of steps so drawing it would be easier. The background took me a few minutes to whip up. To get a good background for a dull character, use a bright monochromatic color scheme to make the character's appearance really stick out. In this case, I stuck with a bamboo style background to match the theme of the panda. Pandas love eating bamboo, so why not put it in a bamboo style background? I vectorized the bamboo shoots so it leaves it simpler and non-distracting. I don't want too much detail to get in the way of the character or else the focus will be drawn away and to the backdrop instead. To really make drawing a cute panda easier, try focusing on an over sized head with small features. This way the larger the head, the cuter. Well, I hope you'll enjoy this tutorial. I had so much fun drawing the character. Thanks for viewing and don't forget to comment, rate, and favorite. Also, make sure you post your cute panda drawings in the art gallery; I'd really like to see results. Have a happy drawing experience!
Step 1.
Description: First, start off with a large oval for the base of the head. Then, draw your guidelines. I prefer to use a ruler in order to draw the guidelines perfectly. Usually, I freehand the circles and then swiftly sketch the guidelines on. For the base of the body, draw a shape similar to the body of the main image. This way, you'll be able to whip up the rest of it's body in no time. I hope learning how to draw cute pandas won't be a hassle in this tutorial!
Step 2.
Description: Ok, this step is very simple. See how I start off with the most simplest of shapes? This is ideal to creating things quickly, especially if your drawing in school or work. Start off with a circle for the head. Basically retracing the oval you created in step 1. Once you've done that, move onto the oval eye spots.
Step 3.
Description: Continue in this step by drawing the eyes and ears. Again, this is a very simple step to completing the most cutest panda ever! Make sure you draw a panda head over sized in order to contain cuteness.
Step 4.
Description: Ok, now you'll have to draw the cute little nose and mouth. I always draw the mouths with a rounded "W". If you get stuck on this part, think of a "W" shape. Next, draw the shoulders and nose.
Step 5.
Description: In this step, complete the rest of the body by drawing the soles of the feet and bottom. This is pretty easy. The legs and feet seem a bit merged, this is actually a good thing. It will make your cute panda drawing a lot cuter.
Step 6.
Description: This is basically the last step to completing your cute panda drawing. Finish off the details of the soles of the feet. After, draw the indication lines of its markings.
Step 7.
Description: This is what the line art should look like once you've finished your drawing. See how cute it is? I can't stop myself from looking at it's adorable face. I spent a lot of time drawing this little cute guy. Drawing things simply makes it harder to draw. I hope you enjoyed this lesson folks, please submit your cute panda once your're done! Peace out all!

Raquel Welch Thinks Porn Has Made Us All Sex Addicts
"I think we've gotten to the point in our culture where we're all sex addicts, literally. We have equated happiness in life with as many orgasms as you can possibly pack in, regardless of where it is that you deposit your love interest … It's just dehumanizing. And I have to honestly say, I think this era of porn is at least partially responsible for it. Where is the anticipation and the personalization? It's all pre-fab now. You have these images coming at you unannounced and unsolicited. It just gets to be so plastic and phony to me. Maybe men respond to that. But is it really better than an experience with a real life girl that he cares about? It's an exploitation of the poor male's libidos. Poor babies, they can't control themselves … I just imagine them sitting in front of their computers, completely annihilated. They haven't done anything, they don't have a job, they barely have ambition anymore. And it makes for laziness and a not very good sex partner. Do they know how to negotiate something that isn't pre-fab and injected directly into their brain? … I don't care if I'm becoming one of those old fogies who says, 'Back in my day we didn't have to hear about sex all the time.' Can you imagine? My fantasies were all made up on my own. They're ruining us with all the explanations and the graphicness. Nobody remembers what it's like to be left to form your own ideas about what's erotic and sexual. We're not allowed any individuality. I thought that was the fun of the whole thing. It's my fantasy. I didn't pick it off the Internet somewhere. It's my fantasy."
– Raquel Welch shares her thoughts on porn in Men's Health. There's a lot to respond to here. I agree with what she's saying about erotic individuality. But that's where I stop agreeing with her. We're all sex addicts? Really?
I don't know a single sex addict. And I know lots of people. And why is she hating so much on men, calling them lazy, unambitious fiends who can't control themselves? I am not a man, but if I were, I'm sure I would be offended by this statement. I'm offended by it as a woman. Looking at porn (male or female) does NOT make you a sex addict. It does NOT make you lazy or a lousy lover. And I think there are plenty of people who use porn thoughtfully and responsibly and maintain healthy sex lives with real people.
But that's just what I think. What do you think? [Men's Health]

Reviving the Real Estate Market with Parks
This post from the American Society of Landscape Architects' The Dirt blog explains.
"'The U.S. caused this real estate crisis with its housing policy. There were no down payment requirements, easy credit, and lots of capital moving into non-performing assets.' As a result, the federal government had to move in with $10 trillion investments and recovery programs ("real estate backstopping") to hold off further economic decline. To counter this trend, surplus land must be redeveloped as green space. Cities large or small can use green spaces as an "economic multiplier" that not only creates green infrastructure but also helps developers get developing again. "Parks can help unlock the real estate market." Also, tearing down underperforming, vacant housing can create wealth. "Land without buildings are still assets." If real estate entrepreneurs and parks managers collaborate on identifying opportunities, these types of program could not only lead to a "stock market explosion" but also make communities more livable."

The terrifying ordeal of two French students murdered in London was relived for the first time at the Old Bailey today when one of the men accused of their killings changed his evidence and confessed to helping his accomplice tie them up in a burglary that went tragically wrong.
Dano Sonnex, 23, admitted entering the property where, the court heard, his co-accused was already holding down one of the students, Laurent Bonomo, 23, and was pushing his head into a pillow. Sonnex said he was told to do the same to the other victim, Gabriel Ferez, 23, who struggled but did not fight back.
Both students were almost naked. Ferez had been sitting on a futon in his underpants and was "edgy" and shouting loudly in French. Bonomo, he said, kept talking in English about his girlfriend.
Sonnex and Nigel Farmer, 33, are accused of murdering the two students, who were in London on an exchange trip to work on a DNA project at Imperial College. The men blame each other for the killings, which left the students with 244 stab wounds, including injuries that caused haemorrhages to the brain, in what prosecutors described as "an orgy of bloodletting".
Sonnex said he had been outside the flat in New Cross, south-east London, keeping a lookout when Farmer called for his help. He said that when he went inside he was told by Farmer to tie up Ferez, which he did with a pair of tights.
After looking for things to steal, Sonnex said he left the flat with a number of items including a bank card for which Bonomo had given him the pin number. Sonnex left wearing Ferez's glasses "in order to disguise myself". On returning, Sonnex was given another card and number by Farmer, and when that was retained by the cash machine he went back to the flat, he claimed, to discover the two men had been stabbed to death.
On the eve of the killings, Sonnex said, the pair had been dealing and taking drugs when Farmer claimed he had been robbed at knifepoint in the toilets of a club. The burglaries, Sonnex said, were an attempt to make up the money that was stolen – something that had made Farmer "angry".
The fathers of both the dead students listened as Sonnex claimed he tripped over the body of Bonomo as he lay on the floor. "His face was bloody, I remember that," he said. "My friend [Farmer] was sitting at the end of the bed in between the bed and the drawers. He was hissing and hissing and shaking his head and hissing. He was saying the words 'this is naughty, this is naughty' – that's all he kept saying: 'this is naughty'."
Farmer admits that later that day he set fire to Bonomo's flat and was badly burned in the explosion. He denies burglary and murder.
Asked by his barrister, Philip Misner, why he had changed his evidence, Sonnex said: "The allegations that were made against me [by Farmer] and the way they have been told, I just thought the jury would not believe I didn't kill these people. It's better to be truthful, I would rather just tell the truth and get it over and done with." He accepted that he was part of a burglary and an enterprise to hold the students against their will and that he knew Farmer was going to set fire to the flat. He denied killing Bonomo and Ferez.
The hearing continues.

Don't Reform Taxes on the Backs of Those in Need!
An effort to curtail charitable giving incentives has escalated. Please speak up today to protect charities' ability to help people in need.
Multiple reports indicate that fiscal cliff negotiators are considering limits to the charitable deduction to pay for deficit reduction. This is a bad idea that will only harm those struggling the most in this economic downturn.
While addressing the fiscal cliff is critical, shifting the burden to those in need is not the solution. At the same time that government funding for human services is being cut by tens of billions of dollars, we cannot afford to limit charities' capacity to serve communities. That amounts to a double-hit for people who need help the most.

Wal-Mart Chief Speaks Wisdom: Hypocritical Economists Should Listen
From Lee Scott's (Wal-Mart CEO) website, as reported by the NYTimes:
Wal-Mart's focus has been on lower income and lower-middle income consumers," he wrote. "In the last four years or so, with the price of fuel being what it is, that customer has had the most difficult time. The upper-end customer got a tremendous number of tax breaks about four years ago. They have been doing very well in this economy.
Guess to which customer group the hypocritical recommenders of high gasoline tax belong?

Products are shipped by the individual Fruugo retailers, who are located across Europe and the rest of the world. The delivery times and shipping prices vary depending on the retailer's location, the destination country and the selected delivery method.
Fruugo offers two delivery options: Standard or Express. All retailers offer a standard delivery service, and some retailers also offer an express delivery service.
Although Fruugo retailers endeavour to deliver within these timescales, please note that the above timescales are estimated and not guaranteed.
The delivery timescales do not include any customs clearing times beyond Fruugo's control.
Please allow additional shipping time for deliveries to South Africa.

We do our best to ensure that the products that you order are delivered to you in full and according to your specifications. However, should you receive an incomplete order, or items different from the ones you ordered, or there is some other reason why you are not satisfied with the order, you may return the order, or any products included in the order, and receive a full refund for the items.

Please take reasonable care of the goods whilst in your care. Any goods returned must be in a resaleable condition. They must be unworn/unused with original tags attached and in original packaging.

Our customer care will send you specific instructions on how to ship the return package(s) to the retailer(s). Please do not ship the return package before you receive the instructions.
Shipping products back to retailers
Goods must be returned without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after notifying us of your cancellation.
If you are returning products to several retailers, you should distribute the products accordingly and send the products to those retailers who shipped them to you initially.
We strongly recommend that you use registered mail (and insure any high-value packages), since neither Fruugo nor the retailer take responsibility for shipments that are lost or damaged during return transportation.
Please ensure you retain a proof of postage receipt so in the unlikely event your parcel goes missing, you will have proof you sent it.
You will be refunded within 14 days of the retailer receiving back the goods. We will notify you by e-mail once the products reach the retailer and are accepted for return. Where a retailer has offered to collect the goods, you will be refunded within 14 days of cancelling your contract.

Providing you are returning all the products from a specific retailer, we will refund the standard shipping costs you paid for the original delivery. If you chose to pay for a non-standard delivery, we will only refund the cost of our least expensive, standard delivery.
Damaged or faulty goods
If you receive a damaged, broken, or defective product, please notify Fruugo customer care as soon as possible. Include at least the following information:
We will generally instruct you to ship the damaged product back to the retailer. As soon as it reaches the retailer, they will send you a replacement product. If the replacement can't be made, or if you wish to cancel the order, you will be refunded in full. You will also be reimbursed for reasonable returns postage costs for damaged or faulty goods once we have received your postage receipt.
If the outer packaging of your order is clearly damaged on arrival, and you are suspecting that the products are damaged as well, you can either reject the delivery or accept the goods and sign for them as damaged. In both instances, please notify Fruugo customer care as soon as possible.
Refusing delivery
If you refuse to accept delivery of all or part of your order (where the products or packaging do not appear to be damaged or defective) you will be responsible for the postage charges. Any fees and charges incurred by the retailer due to a package being refused will be deducted from your merchandise refund.

Needed a battery..116$-40 Bought a radiator and 1 gallon antifreeze..100.98-40$ Got a new fan blade, another gallon antifreeze and a water pump. 72-25$ Used a 25$ off 70$ purchase.

Arch Coal Mines Lower Costs with AT&T Network Services As Summer Heats Up
AT&T Solution to Connect Arch Coal Headquarters With 20 Locations Nationwide
ST. Louis, Missouri, July 30, 2007
AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) has announced that Arch Coal Inc. (NYSE:ACI), one of the nation's largest and most efficient coal producers, has signed a three-year contract for network and voice services. Under the terms of the agreement, AT&T will deliver Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)-based Virtual Private Network (VPN) services and voice services over the AT&T Business Network platform.
Coal is the fuel source for 50 percent of the electricity generated in the United States. As a major player in the energy industry, Arch Coal must be able to move business-critical information across the country efficiently and cost-effectively.
With summer's arrival, much of the nation is quickly approaching its peak demand for electricity — air conditioners will run at full force. That demand makes it critically important for Arch Coal to have accurate information about customers' needs and the progress of coal deliveries. Whether that information is going to a technician at Black Thunder mine or an executive in St. Louis, AT&T's VPN is designed to provide the secure, reliable transport of customer data and applications.
"We strive to keep our cost of producing coal-based energy as low as possible," said Arch Coal's Vice President and Chief Information Officer, Michael Abbene. "We're continuously evaluating the latest technologies and embracing those that maximize our return on investment, which is why we chose AT&T to provide our network and voice services."
Previously Arch Coal operated on a different platform for its networking and data needs, and the move to AT&T's VPN for its network services provides a platform for increased communication efficiency and overall productivity. The technology selected by Arch Coal provides a base for adopting future technologies and voice and data integration.

FNUG, Fake Fur, 3 coats
Fake Fur outdoors, natural lighting:
You can find FNUG on Facebook, Pinterest and Followgram.
*Polish was sent to me for review.
What do you think of Fake Fur?
Thanks for looking and commenting!
Odtenek se mi zdi sila znan, pa sem brskala po spletu in nikjer ne najdem, kateremu je podoben. Ali pa sem pomešala vse te sivo-rjave odtenke, ki jih itak ne ločim dobro. :D
Drugače pa je zelo všečna barva. Zelo šik. :)
Te mogoče spominja na Rimmel Steel Grey? Tudi meni se je zdel zelo znan, ko sem ga imela na nohtih... Pa enako kot ti zelo hitro pomešam takšne odtenke.Delete
FNUG is amazing! Ever since I got to know the brand here in Denmark two years ago I have fallen for all of their polishes! Fake Fur is super gorgeousReplyDelete
It really is amazing. I love the fact it's not just a bunch of red shades in their collection - there are some quite unique shades. Not to mention the fantastic holos.Delete
This indeed looks like a lovely taupe, they look so ugly on me when they are too brown!ReplyDelete
I think it would be safe to wear this one. =)Delete
Very interesting shade, and rare taupe. Though I do mind the fact of doing 3 coats. I'm a 2 coater girl, LOL. I would do 3 coats for a stunning colour though...ReplyDelete
16 Euros for ONE small nail polish??!! This world must be going really crazy...ReplyDelete
Gorgeous, I really like the FNUG holos and recently saw their other shades. They're right up my ally! Gorgeous swatches!ReplyDelete

10 Value Micro-Cap Stocks With High Price Momentum - 18621 views
The following commentary comes from an independent investor or market observer as part of TheStreet's guest contributor program, which is separate from the company's news coverage. The opinions expressed are those of the author and do not represent the views of TheStreet or its management.
NEW YORK (Scott's Investments) -- On a monthly basis I conduct a close replication of AAII's (American Association of Individual Investors) Shadow Stock screen. The goal is to find small, undervalued stocks with high price momentum over the past 52 weeks.
More From Stockpickr
The screen and data below are courtesy of Stockscreen123. I use the following screen criteria to identify high momentum value stocks:
- No over-the-counter stocks
- No financial stocks
- Market cap > $20 Million and < $200 million
- Previous EBITDA quarter and trailing 12 months are positive
- Share price > $1
- Price/book < 0.80
- Price/sales < 1.2
- Top 10 stocks are selected based on highest 52-week returns
- Minimum average daily volume > 5,000 shares
The results for this month are below:
March's list returned an average of 2.23% (excluding dividends, commissions, and taxes).
Looking at this month's list, Fuwei Films (FFHL) is worthy of further attention. While its 52-week momentum is high, it recently received a delisting notice from Nasdaq. FFHL's intermediate momentum is a stark contrast to the 52-week momentum: Quarterly returns are -52.04% and one-month returns are -48.14%. For those looking at price momentum and stability, this information should give investors pause.
Silverleaf Resorts (SVLF) also has high price momentum and solid fundamentals. However, in February SVLF's board agreed to sell SVLF to Cerberus Capital Management for $2.50 share. Thus, any position in SVLF at this point will only serve to place you in the middle of an acquisition with little upside (unless shareholders are successful in fighting the sale of the company).

Princeton picked up three more points in the Mississippi 8 girls soccer standings with a 5-0 win over Big Lake and a 1-1 tie against Chisago Lakes last week. The Tigers added a 2-0 shutout over Zimmerman Sept. 16 in non-conference action.
Against Big Lake Sept. 10, Lydia Arens broke away for a shot 30 seconds in that just sailed over the Hornets' net. Then at the 6:30 mark, the Tigers got a free kick by Michelle Menshek who placed it in the middle of a scramble, and Erica Schramel was in the perfect position to tap home the opening goal.
Ashley Schramel and Jordan Suter later had first-half chances on the Hornet net, with saves being made. The physical play increased as the half continued, with bodies flying around on both sides and the score stuck at 1-0.
"Erica Schramel really got us going in the second half with our combination play. As soon as 'E' played a couple give-and-goes, it changed our pace completely," said Tiger Coach Heidi Finstad.
On Sept. 12, the Tigers traveled to Chisago Lakes to play on the Wildcats' fancy turf field for the first time. Princeton's goal came on a beautiful free kick by Alanna Mattson. Maggie Peterson got in on the goalie to disrupt the play, knocking the ball to A. Schramel who slipped it home.
"It was a super-fast and physical game on the turf, but I thought our girls responded well. Offensively we were able to put pressure on their back line. Defensively, we were very much on. We won air balls on nine defensive corner kicks and I was pleased with that," analyzed Coach Finstad. "We also won a large number of 50/50 balls late in the game around the edge of our box. Our mids and defenders made game-changing play after game-changing play for us. This game gave us a ton of defensive experience."
The Tigers will need all of their defensive savvy when they trek to Blake for a special non-conference game on Monday, Sept. 23.
Mississippi 8 Girls Soccer: St. Michael-Alb. 3-0-1, 7-1-1; Rogers 3-0, 5-4; Princeton 2-1-1, 4-2-3; St. Francis 2-2, 2-4-1; Chisago Lakes 1-0-2, 2-3-2; Buffalo 1-1-2, 2-3-3; Cambridge-Isanti 1-3, 4-5; Monticello 1-2, 3-4-1 Big Lake 0-2, 3-5; North Branch 0-3, 3-5.
