The Newspaper That DOESN'T Think It's Better Than You!
January 2nd, 2013 • Issue 180 • We always do it Manually!
Vote! Or else!
Is it that time of year again? It's the time when everyone celebrates the people who are the most remarkable amongst us at everything except what matters. It's time for Writer of the Year, Uncyclopedian of the Year and Useless Gobshite of the Year. These compliment our small selection of awards: WotM, UotM, PotM, NotM, AotM, RotM, EGA, FP, PWotM, ANOTM, Top 10 o' the month, UGotM, VFH, VFD, VFS and VFP. Not forgetting of course to all the userspace awards.
Writer of the Year got off to a splendid start when Aleister in Chains nominated Funnybony and SPIKE for the award by writing brief but poignant marriage proposals to both of them. Thank goodness for Aleister, if not for him the wider world might have assumed we weren't all massive girls. Since then Thekillerfroggy nominated Xamralco, who was not able to express his appreciation due to a serious case of not editing the wiki any longer.
As always what should be a rigorous heterosexual competition involving manly pursuits like backstabbing, lies, blackmail and threats is being irretrievably compromised by people like Aleister and Shabidoo; people whose sole purpose on the awards pages is to make everybody else feel bad about not noticing other people. Uncyclopedian of the Year is being lead by Romartus, Uncyclopedia's voting-in-chief. Shockingly, he was also nominated by Aleister who, as it turns out, is gayer than Christmas, apparently Romartus makes him "Proud to be an uncyclopedian", he makes "Legendary votes on VFH" and gives "Legendary hand relief".
Potatochopper of the Year is a more subdued and manly affair, where absolutely nobody has been nominated at all... it's like reviewer of the month were moved to a different page name. Hopefully Aleister or Shabidoo will nominate someone soon, we here at the UnSignpost have gone to the trouble of writing the nomination for them: "<insert name here> has made many fantastic images, at least two of which I have made love to on at least nineteen occasions. My genitals ache for them every single evening and someday they will make my dreams come true and love me! Also Olipro sucks balls."
Olipro was the only nominee for Useless Gobshite of the Year (insert your own joke here), but Zombiebaron quickly joined him in ignominy. Please go vote for both of them so they may end up tied, and share the prize (a year's supply of toilet paper) on their revolving bed built entirely from used condoms and KY bottles.
From the desk of the Cabal: 2013 is the year of subservience
Once again you all stand before us, another year of failure behind you and another year of subjugation ahead of you. The non-existent Cabal would like to wish you all a happy New Year. All
Once again you have failed us, utterly and completely. Last year we advised you all that resistance was utterly unnecessary and, if anything, we have had to tolerate 0.22% more resistance, we have heard you discuss and then decide to leave our kind benefactors, whilst promoting several of your own number to within the cabal in an effort to encourage dissent and democracy within our ranks. We saw you continue to tinker with that which does not concern you whilst simultaneously complaining when people are warned about the indecent images you propagate amongst your number. It seems prudent to remind you that if we delete every single template, every single image and every single forum your freedom will only increase. It is not what some of you have foolishly referred to as "overly deletionist", it is streamlining and it is good for all of you.
It is with vague optimism that we note that you continue to strive at a barely satisfactory level, you have certainly earned a small fraction of the baubles and trinkets that have been handed out over the past year. It has not escaped our notice that the Worst 100 Reflections on 2012 only closed on time this year due to Thekillerfroggy skipping sixty of the reflections, we are gratified to note that Roman Dog Bird had practically no input on the list and very few of them regard uncontrolled outbreaks of creativity and morale, such dangerous forces must be carefully rationed and controlled.
Cutting of corners and a blatant disregard for regulations do not amuse the Cabal.
Now we must inexorably turn our attentions to 2013 and the promise it brings. All users should note that due to several security compromises over the last few months movement throughout the Uncyclopedia complex has been restricted during the hours of darkness. Where major editing is to take place you must ensure that you have faxed the appropriate forms to your divisional liaison officer prior to commencing work, failure to do so will result in an unacceptable breakdown in bureaucracy.
Uncyclopedia must prevail, editors must remember that without patient mind numbing work and servitude we can never accomplish our ultimate goal of... well, that need not concern you.
That is all citizens, you may now return to your allocated taskings.

Fossil octopuses found, according to reports in Eurekalert, 17 Mar 2009 and Live Science 18 May 2009. Living octopuses have soft bodies and when they die they rapidly decay into structureless blobs if they are not first eaten by scavengers. Therefore, "the preservation of an octopus as a fossil is about as unlikely as finding a fossil sneeze, and none of the 200-300 species of octopus known today has ever been found in fossilized form." A group of European scientists have found five "extraordinarily well preserved" octopus fossils in Cretaceous limestone in Lebanon. Dirk Fuchs of the Freie University Berlin, who studied the fossils, explained to Live Science: "The luck was that the corpse landed untouched on the sea floor. The sea floor was free of oxygen and therefore free of scavengers. Both the anoxy (absence of oxygen) and a rapid sedimentation rate prevented decay." There are three different species in the collection and they are so well preserved there are traces of the suckers, internal gills and ink in the fossils.
The specimens have been classified as new species but are very similar to living octopuses. Fuchs commented: "these things are 95 million years old, yet one of the fossils is almost indistinguishable from living species." The age estimate of 95 million years put the origin of octopuses back about 10 million years in the evolutionary timetable. The EurekAlert article states: "This provides important evolutionary information."
Fuchs went on to say: "The more primitive relatives of octopuses had fleshy fins along their bodies. The new fossils are so well preserved that they show, like living octopus, that they didn't have these structures."
Editorial Comment: If the only difference between so called primitive octopuses and the present ones is the presence of fleshy fins then today's octopuses may have lost them i.e. they have devolved. Furthermore, if these are the oldest octopuses, then for their total existence on planet earth, octopuses can only be proved to have reproduced after their kind, just as Genesis says.
Fuchs is correct about the fossils being preserved by rapid sedimentation in an anoxic environment, but that will not happen simply because a creature dies and falls to the sea bed. It has to be deeply buried right away. It is more likely these animals were preserved when they were suddenly swept up together with a mass of sediment and then dumped, so the sediments it is found in do not preserve evidence of vast time spans the evolutionist so loves. (Ref. cephalopods, invertebrates, catastrophe, preservation)

Page 525
on, the Congress hereby declares it to be the policy of the United States to provide financial assistance (as set forth in the following sections of this Act) for those local educational agencies upon which the United States has placed financial burdens by reason of the fact that—
(1) the revenues available to such agencies from local sources have been reduced as the result of the acquisition of real property by the United States; or
(2) such agencies provide education for children residing on Federal property; or
(3) such agencies provide education for children whose parents are employed on Federal property; or
(4) there has been a sudden and substantial increase in school attendance as the result of Federal activities.
For the purposes of this Act—
(1) The term "Federal property" means real property which is owned by the United States or is leased by the United States, and which is not subject to taxation by any State or any political subdivision of a State or by the District of Columbia. Such term includes real property leased from the Secretary of the Army, Navy, or Air Force under section 805 of the National Housing Act, as amended, for the purpose of title VIII of such Act. Such term also includes real property held in trust by the United States for individual Indians or Indian tribes, and real property held by individual Indians or Indian tribes which is subject to restrictions on alienation imposed by the United States. Such term does not include (A) any real property used by the United States primarily for the provision of services to the local area in which such property is situated, (B) any real property used for a labor supply center, labor home, or labor camp for migratory farm workers, or (C) any low-rent housing project held under title II of the National Industrial Recovery Act, the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935, the United States Housing Act of 1937, the Act of June 28, 1940 (Public Law 671 of the Seventy-sixth Congress), or any law amendatory of or supplementary to any of such Acts.
(2) The term "child" means any child who is within the age limits for which the applicable State provides free public education. Such term does not include any child who is a member, or the dependent of a member, of any Indian tribal organization, recognized as such under the laws of the United States relating to Indian affairs, and who is eligible for educational services provided pursuant to a capital grant by the United States, or under the supervision of, or pursuant to a contract or other arrangement with, the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Approved, September 30, 1950.

HE WILL BE SO POWERFUL THAT IF HE STRETCHES HIS HAND OUT TO THE LARGEST TREE IN THE WORLD HE WILL UPROOT IT AND CAST IT AWAY, AND IF HE SHOUTS AMONG THE MOUNTAINS, HARD ROCKS WILL TURN INTO POWDER.

There are no know warning signs that a gigglyfloof is about to occur, except a sudden pause right before the explosion. Fat people are expecially prone to gigglyfloofs as they have extra pressure built up inside of them already.

The registration deadline for the National Mastitis Council (NMC) Regional Meeting, July 23-24, is fast approaching. This two day event will be held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Portland, Maine. The pre-registration deadline is Tuesday, July 16.
This year's program provides information and skills necessary to strengthen milk quality programs and increase dairy profitability around the globe. The conference also provides an excellent opportunity to network with individuals who share the common interest of quality milk production.
The two-day conference starts off with specialized short courses on Tuesday, July 23. The short courses provide a smaller group setting for the participants, offering the opportunity to interact directly with the instructor and other registrants in the course. Individuals are encouraged to bring questions, experiences and potential problems they may have encountered.
"The courses are designed to be two-way, interactive learning sessions," says Anne Lichtenwalner, the 2013 NMC regional program chair and extension veterinarian with the University of Maine. "The short courses have limited enrollment, so be sure to register early to ensure a spot in the course."
Short course topics to choose from include:
- Robotic milking: Planning for new facilities and evaluating current installations
- NMC systems evaluation: Dynamic vs. static testing – let's milk cows!
- The role of the microbiology laboratory in mastitis control
- Advanced milking concepts and diagnostics
The main program will be held on Wednesday, July 24 and includes eight speakers covering topics ranging from a look at Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci to a discussion about common issues that impact milkability and cow behavior in the parlor and treatment decisions for milking and dry cows. The program on Wednesday will run from 9:15 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. There is no registration limit for the general session.
Other events available to registered meeting attendees include a tour of the IDEXX Laboratories, Inc., headquarters and manufacturing facilities on Tuesday at noon, and a reception Tuesday evening.
"Topics presented at this year's regional meeting will benefit attendees of all levels who are interested in udder health, mastitis control, milking management, milk quality and milk safety," says Lichtenwalner.
To learn more about the NMC regional meeting and to register, visit: http://nmconline.org/regionalmeet/2013/, contact the NMC office by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or phone 608-848-4615.

Antispasmodics relax the smooth muscles of
the gut, helping to prevent or relieve painful cramping spasms in the
intestines. These medicines can be taken as needed for cramps. They can also
be taken 30 to 45 minutes before meals that you expect might cause symptoms or
when symptoms would be inconvenient or bothersome.
Antispasmodics are used to relieve
cramps or spasms of the stomach, intestines, or bladder.
Some studies suggest that
antispasmodics improve symptoms of IBS and reduce pain. But studies on antispasmodics available in the United States
have been less promising. Some studies show a benefit, and some don't.1
Side effects may include drowsiness, dry
mouth, blurred vision, or an inability to urinate. Antispasmodics may make
constipation—often a main symptom of IBS—worse.
See Drug Reference
for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all
If constipation is your main
symptom, antispasmodics may not work for you. In some cases, use of
antispasmodics can make constipation worse.

some antispasmodics can increase the heartbeat of a fetus, and that some are

This blog will serve as the home to all Korra Nation updates, which will be added as they appear.
Asami Sato development art
Korra Nation has just released another sneak preview for Korra fans, early design concept art of a character we haven't heard much about, Asami Sato. They also issued the following description;
- "An early sketch design for Asami Sato - a young non-bender and daughter to a wealthy industrialist."
Her last name also raises the question of her relation to Hiroshi Sato, another character in Korra who we still know nothing about. Is it possible that he is in fact Asami's "wealthy industrialist" father?
Aang Statue development art
Released by Korra Nation today was development art for Aang's statue which currently resides in Republic City. KN also issued the following statement;
- "Development art of the Avatar Aang statue by co-executive producer Joaquim Dos Santos. The statue was a gift from the Fire Nation to stand as a symbol of peace and goodwill."
We finally get a better look at what Aang's foot is standing on, but is it still a White lotus flower? I also find it interesting that the Fire Nation has given it as a gift to the world. Is that because of the events of the Hundred Year War, or could it be as a result of the Harmony Restoration Movement? There also appears to be some kind of temple on the island, I wonder what for?
Korra and her father
Another Korra Nation update, this time, sketches of Korra, and her father! The following statement was also released;
- "A collection of character sketches from a production meeting - including Korra and a shot of her father."
I really like the design of her father, he looks strict, mean, even harsh. But again, it's only development art, but I do hope her parents are featured prominently in the series, because we've never seen the parents of an Avatar. Perhaps now that we've seen her dad, Korra's mum might appear in Korra Nation soon?
Legend of Korra clip
Big Korra Nation update, the first non-leaked clip of Legend of Korra! The clip is from chapter one, and features the Order of the White Lotus discovering that Korra is the Avatar! The caption released by Korra Nation;
- "The White Lotus travel to a distant village to discover the new Avatar - Korra!
I'm blown away at the animation, it looks beautiful. I'm really excited to see how integral a part the Order of the White Lotus plays in Korra's journey, because the organisation has been one that I've always held great interest in. It's also great to see the parents of the Avatar for once, and Korra's belly jiggling about as she demonstrates her bending, adorable! The Track Team's score is also sounding incredible, and the series is looking fantastic!
I've screencapped the entire clip. You can see the images here. Feel free to use for whatever purpose.
Pro-bending clip
Previously released by Nick.com, Korra Nation has just posted a clip depicting Korra, [[Mako], and Bolin in a pro-bending arena fight, their team name being The Fire Ferrets. The following statement was issued;
- "Korra and her team 'The Fire Ferrets' hit the pro-bending court with a vengeance!"
Unfortunately viewers outside of the United States are not able to view the video so I have not seen it, but as soon as an international version of the video appears online, I'll be sure to share and screencap it.
Please stay civil. You should not harass other users or their views.

Is the service you want unavailable in your country?
Stealthy is the solution for you.
* Hide your IP address for privacy online.
* Access all content privately without censorship; bypass firewalls.
We provide the proxies, so you don't have to bother searching for lists that usually don't work. The extension automatically selects and sets up tested proxies from the cloud.
The term Stealthy refers to military aircraft that can penetrate into enemy territory undetected by radar. In a way, that's what this browser extension does.
Some organizations and governments block access to web pages, and certain online services are not available in all countries. With Stealthy, users can make themselves undetectable, and thereby able to bypass the censorship.
This can be tremendously important in countries like China or Iran, where regimes censor the Internet. But even in countries like Germany, many people cannot watch music videos on YouTube because of a licensing dispute with GEMA. With Stealthy installed, this is not an issue, as you can get a foreign IP address and play the videos without issue.
Once installed, a small stealth aircraft icon will be appear in your navigation bar. The color is red by default, indicating Stealthy is off. After clicking on it, Stealthy automatically searches for an appropriate proxy, sets up your browser, and turns the icon green, meaning you are now in Stealth mode.
There is also a Chrome version that we recommend at http://www.stealthy.co/chrome/

A professional musician who has inspired generations of local people is to leave his post at Ilkley Grammar School to concentrate on composing and his work as a conductor.
Kieron Anderson, 58, has been Head of Music at Ilkley Grammar since 1996, but first began teaching brass at schools in the 1980s.
He was also head of Ilkley Music Centre before taking on his post as Head of Music at the school.
Mr Anderson, who lives at Carlton, near Guiseley, now plans to split his time between conducting several orchestras and bands, and other musical activities outside of school – including continuing to compose his own music.
Mr Anderson said: "IGS is a very good school if which I am sure, the community is quite proud and it has been a privilege to work with some super students and dedicated teachers.
During my time here we created four original musicals and arranged ten others to enable the greatest number of students to participate.
The collaboration with local author Neil Hanson resulted in a successful adaptation of Sir Terry Pratchett's novel, The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents, performed at the King's Hall three years ago."
He added: "Although none of the musicals have been published, there have been performances by other schools and they may yet be repeated here in years to come."
Mr Anderson did not start teaching until he was over 30, as he had been a professional musician since leaving the Royal Northern College of Music in 1977, playing with many professional orchestras and then working as a musical director on cruise liners.
He first came to Ilkey to teach brass in the area's middle schools, and at Ilkley Grammar, and he conducted the bands at Ilkley Music Centre every Saturday morning.
Before Bradford and Ilkley College sold the college building, he became head of Ilkley Music Centre - at a time when over 350 people came to play every week.
Some players are still sitting in bands he conducts today.
Mr Anderson is currently musical director of The Yorkshire Wind Orchestra, Nottingham Symphonic Winds, Harlequin Brass, The Phoenix Band, Wetherby Silver Band.

Asbestos in Your Home
Full Video Transcript
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, most products made today do not contain asbestos. Those few products made which still contain asbestos that could be inhaled are required to be labeled as such. However, until the 1970s, many types of building products and insulation materials used in homes contained asbestos. Houses built between 1930 and 1950 may have asbestos as the insulation. Asbestos can also be found in a variety of home materials including roofing, texture paint, flooring materials, and stove and furnace materials, to name a few. You can't tell whether a material contains asbestos simply by looking at it, unless it is labeled. If you suspect asbestos material in your home, don't touch it, but look for signs of wear or damage such as tears, abrasions, or water damage. Damaged material may release asbestos fibers. This is particularly true if you often disturb it by hitting, rubbing, or handling it, or if it is exposed to extreme vibration or air flow. Asbestos in your home may need to be repaired or removed, particularly if damaged. If you believe you may have been injured by an asbestos material or have more questions about what legal claims are available for asbestos injuries, contact an attorney in your area today.

How to Give Relationship Advice Without Making Your Friends Hate You
Four important things to keep in mind the next time you have a friend crying over her dirty martini or blissfully announcing her engagement to Mr. Wrong.
-Emily Southwood
I suppose it has something to do with the law of averages that, while one of your BFFs is getting hitched, inevitably the other is going through a heart-wrenching break-up. One friend is searching for love, while another has fallen smack dab into it, and you've all wound up catching up over a glass of something or other. Sound familiar? Well that's how my summer, filled with joyful wedding celebrations and epic break-ups, has gone down.
This phenomenon has me thinking about the best ways to offer up advice to someone on the other side of the relationship fence. So I asked some ladies in my life to reveal what they do and do not want to hear when it comes to love counsel. Here's an unscientific compilation of the four most prominent things that came up. Hope they help!
1. No, really, it's not all about you
Don't relate everything back to yourself. Is there anything more annoying than when you've been dumped or dissed and your friend launches into how they went through EXACTLY the same thing once? Twenty minutes later they come up for air from telling you what they learned, or worse, how it lead them to find their perfect husband. And you're left thinking—what the eff does this have to do with my break up or the guy who never called back?
Absolutely nothing. Identifying is one thing, folks but making it all about you quite another. Please refrain.
2. The rom com delusion
Don't assume your coupled friends are in a bubble of happiness and perfection. Contrary to what Hollywood would have us believe, anyone who's been in a long-term relationship or married knows that finding love isn't the happily ever after part of the story. It's the beginning. Staying happily together takes work! Yes, Tom and Marsha may now share a bathroom and own a Kitchen Aid Mixmaster, but their lives drum on. Don't take for granted that your friend is in constant bliss and can no longer relate. The involved still want to hear your relationship woes and discuss their own.
Petty as your friend's squabbles over laundry or daycare may seem in the face of your latest online dating debacle, they're the fabric of her equally nuanced life.
3. Respect your friends and their choices
This is a tough one, for I don't know anybody who hasn't at some point disagreed with a friend's choice in partner. Maybe you have reason to think your friend needs to reconsider someone they're involved with. Perhaps quite rightfully so. If your friend asks for your no-holds-barred opinion, well, that's one thing—tread delicately. But watch out when doling unsolicited advice that could come between you and a friend. Nobody ever knows what happens between two people in a relationship, and short of helping a friend out of an abusive or dangerous situation, it's the consensus among my gal pals that we're not there to judge (at least out loud).
Female friendships are important—so important, in fact, that they've been shown to reduce stress, contribute to healthier lifestyles, and even prolong our lives. And heck, since we ladies outlive men you might want to keep your girlfriends around for when you're in tandem wheelchairs. Ideally, you get along swimmingly with your friend's mate. But if you don't, hopefully you'll find a way to support her and tactfully avoid double dates.
4. Listen up!
This one applies to everyone, coupled and single. Let's be honest, chances are you don't have a clue why your friend hasn't found Mr. Right yet. Maybe you're dumbfounded as to why she, of all people, was cheated on. Or happily surprised that she stumbled upon the love of her life at the grocery store. Though there's nothing we gals love more than to sit around and theorize over martinis, most of us aren't actually psychologists or relationship experts. And as friends, we don't always know why some relationships never lift off to begin with, some end, and others stand the test of time.
Luckily, the ladies I asked didn't seem to care much who gave the best advice through the ups and downs. More importantly, they wanted friends who'd always be there to listen to their rants, sobs and laughter. Even if we don't always have the answers why some things work out and others don't. That one's a question for the ages.
Here's to lifelong girlfriends who'll be there to weather it all.
Emily Southwood is working on a memoir called Prude and blogs at imarriedapornographer.com. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband. Emily is the author of the "I Married a Pornographer" series on BettyConfidential.

A father is fleeing Russian authorities with his two children after defying a second court order to bring them home to Hendon.
Iljavadimovic "Ilya" Neustadt is on the run with sons Daniel-Jakob, eight, and Jonathan, five, and the trio have not been seen or heard from since November 15.
Their mother Rachael Neustadt says she cannot find the words to describe the pain of not knowing the whereabouts of her two oldest children.
The boys, who attended Nancy Reuben Primary School, in Finchley Lane, Hendon, were taken on a two-week holiday to Moscow in December 2012 as part of a custody agreement.
Their parents had divorced in 2011 and after a lengthy court battle Mr Neustadt was given permission to take their sons to see his brother in his native Russia, with his mother as a chaperone.
During the two-week trip, Mrs Neustadt had regular contract with her sons via Skype - but on January 7, the day they were due to return, she received a heartbreaking phone call.
The 36-year-old said: "I was worried about sending them to Russia, I knew I'd miss them, but I couldn't defy what the courts said. He was calm and told me they were in a hotel, and the children weren't coming back.
"What do you feel? How would any parent feel to be entirely powerless to rescue their child from harm? It's like a gnawing feeling at your heart.
"I was frantic, but it's not a place I like to go back to. I want to focus on the future now, and getting them back."
In time, a Russian court heard how Mr Neustadt had supplied the English authorities with a false address for his brother's house.
Instead of spending the trip with his sons, he had left them with his mother before taking a plane back to England where he quit his job and gave up the tenancy on his flat.
Last September, judges finally ruled that he should return the boys to their mother and dismissed a subsequent appeal from Mr Neustadt in November.
Before the court's ruling, his former wife made regular trips to see the boys in Russia - but was only permitted to see them for less than an hour on the day she was due to leave.
She said: "They did seem a bit tense, though they were happy to see me. They were dancing and singing 'mummy is here, mummy is coming back tomorrow'.
"It was heartbreaking, I didn't know how to tell them I couldn't."
The school the boys attended in Russia confirmed they have not attended lessons since November 15, and the authorities have been unable to track the trio down.
Both boys are on the Interpol list but Russian authorities have so far been unable to track the pair down.
Mrs Neustadt, who calls herself a "left-behind mother", is now pouring all her efforts into finding her children, while caring for the couple's third son, Meir, now two.
The walls of her flat are littered with paintings and drawings her boys had made when they still lived at home, but now they are just bittersweet reminders of her heartbreaking situation.
It has now been more than 440 days since she has seen her children and since their abduction, she has been forced to become an amateur lawyer, expert in international law and accountant - all in an effort to get her sons back.
The Jewish Aid Committee is now backing her campaign to raise £35,000 to pay the legal fees needed to take her case further.
She said: "I am emotionally broken. The anxiety I feel is indescribable, but I live and breathe for my children. I just want them to come home to me."
A statement from the British Foreign Office said: "This is a very difficult case and our sympathies are with all those involved. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has offered the support and advice it is able to in this particular case."

I hate people who cheat too. But I'm talking something like the word LOOK, where the K is two spaces away from a triple word score. Some people I've played with will play things like ZAK, ZEK, ZIK, ZOK, ZUK, JAK, JEK, JIK, JOK, JUK until the game accepts one of those stupid ass words and gives the person like 60 points. That's what frustrates me.
Haha yeah, I don't recall having any problems playing against you. Except that I lost a lot, that sucked.
I was always getting slaughtered until I began to always look for the TW, TL, DL, etc. What sucks is the ability to get stuck with all vowels or consonants. The other thing I do not like is there are several words wordfeud does not recognize that it should, imo.
i just started playing let's Golf 2 and so far I have enjoyed it. I love hot shots golf and that title is the reason I take out the psp sporadicaly. I just wish it was possible to 100% the achievements.

People often ask me what experimental cinema was like in the 1960s.
Ben Van Meter's S.F. Trips Festival — An Opening is one of my favorite films of all time, for a number of reasons, but the main reason I like the film so much is its' economy of images; made for less than $50 to final print, van Meter shot the film over two nights — January 21-22, 1966 — on two and a half rolls of Ektachrome color reversal film, running each reel through the camera multiple times to create a labyrinth of images, effectively conveying the ecstasy and beauty of the scene in a very short space of time — roughly nine minutes. I've seen this film literally hundreds of times, and it never fails to impress me as an absolutely accurate document of a time and place now lost beyond authentic recall.
No money, just sheer inspiration and artistry, and a real commitment to embracing chance in the process of creating the film. Now, it's here for everyone to enjoy; this used to be the model for experimental cinema until the Hollywood dominant model took over sometime in the early 1980s — the film school model — but even the most casual viewing of this film reveals the incomparable richness of Van Meter's work. And all the editing was done in the camera; this is straight out of the Bolex, simply spliced together. Back then, nobody had the money for more raw stock than was absolutely necessary, but they made a virtue of penury, and they tried to jam as many images as possible into their films; the result is dazzling.
Almost impossible to see today, this is still essential cinema.

|The Monster Book of Monsters
|Publication information
before 1978
Hogwarts Textbook
- "What about those Monster Books, eh? The assistant nearly cried when we said we wanted two."
- —Ron Weasley[src]
The Monster Book of Monsters, by Edwardus Lima, is a particularly vicious textbook that is used in Care of Magical Creatures while Rubeus Hagrid (who thought the book's aggressive nature was funny) was the teacher. The book will attack anyone who attempts to open it. The only way to subdue the book is to stroke its spine, upon which the book opens placidly.
Known ContentsEdit
- Sphinx
- Hippogriff
- Troll of Nadroj
- Alizor of Westacottus
- Limax
- Daraliznof Freaazer
- Valcore
- Shelliferous Drogodflikerous
- "Hasn' anyone bin able ter open their books? Yeh've got to stroke 'em."
- —Hagrid in his first lesson of magical creatures, who thought the books were actually funny.[src]
After incidents in which the books attacked each other, the manager of Flourish and Blotts vowed never to stock them again; he found the situation to be worse than when an entire stock of The Invisible Book of Invisibility disappeared.
When students brought this book to Hogwarts for Rubeus Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class, they had to force the books shut with belts and Spello-tape because they didn't know how to calm the books.
Rubeus Hagrid gave one to Harry Potter for his 13th birthday in 1993 as it was part of his requirements for his third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Hermione Granger considered this book along with many others as she was deciding on the supplies they would need to take on their mission to find Voldemort's Horcruxes. As she was sorting books, it broke free of its restraints and bit Ron Weasley on the ankle. It is unknown if she took it with them.
Behind the scenesEdit
- Warner Brothers online shop offers an electronic-plush version of the Monster Book of Monsters. There is also a version of the Monster Book of Monsters available at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter as a novelty toy.
- In the film, the Monster Book of Monsters seemed to have a belt given along with it, rather than the students all finding different methods to restrain it.
- In the handheld versions of LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, during Year 1, a group of Monster Books attack Flourish and Blotts, and Harry must help assist in restoring some of the other damaged books with the Mending Charm before he can purchase his first year textbooks. Upon leaving the shop, Harry finds that they have escaped out into the main part of the alley, and must destroy them with the Reductor Curse.
- A scale replica prop of The Monster Book of Monsters is included with the Harry Potter Limited Edition.[2]
- The Monster Book appears as the first enemy and first boss in the GBA verison of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (video game). It has low health and can easily be defeated using Flipendo, essentially being unlosable fight. When it is defeated, Harry can read the bestiary in the book.

This week NFTE CEO Amy Rosen is in Davos, Switzerland at the 2014 World Economic Forum (WEF). WEF brings together world leaders to discuss and think through economic issues affecting the world. Amy is on the ground meeting key thought-leaders in business, academia and government to find solutions to a quickly rising problem: global youth unemployment. At the current worldwide rate of economic and population growth, there simply won't be enough jobs for young people in the world in the coming years. Amy is Vice-Chair of the Global Agenda Council on Youth Unemployment at WEF, and will be tackling this issue head-on throughout the week.
Read Amy's Forbes blog on her trip to Davos. Amy also contributed an op-ed to Quartz about the youth unemployment crisis.

The San Diego School Unified District is one of four finalists for what is considered the most prestigious award in urban education.
The Broad Prize for Urban Education nomination recognizes Unified's steady academic gains, increased graduation rates and lower dropout rates amid tough financial times and during a period where critics have come down hard on the district primarily for its budget problems.
The Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation announced the finalists Thursday, noting the award is given annually to four urban districts that have made impressive gains, particularly in achievement among low-income and minority students.
The winner of the 2013 Broad Prize will be announced on Sept. 25 in Washington, D.C. at the Library of Congress. The winning district will receive $550,000 in scholarships for its students; the three finalist districts will each receive $150,000 in college scholarships for graduating high school seniors, for a total distribution of $1 million.
For Superintendent Bill Kowba, who retires in June, the honor is significant.
"After all of the years of being second-guessed -- how about this?" said a smiling Kowba Thursday morning. "This is the Super Bowl of education and it's all because of our teachers and students."
School board trustee Richard Barrera said the nomination serves to validate the work of the district. "It really is good news," he said.
The other finalists are Corona-Norco Unified Riverside County; Cumberland County Schools, N.C. and the Houston Independent School District.
San Diego and Cumberland are first-time finalists. Corona-Norco and Houston were both finalists in 2012. Houston won the inaugural Broad Prize in 2002.

How I became a Ranger fan.
OK, this might be geared more about myself and won't really get the hockey juices flowing much but I find it interesting reading about fellow Boneheads and their experiences with the NY Rangers, so here is mine.
I grew up — OK I never really grew up — but was raised in upstate NY, 3 1/2 hours away from NYC. And in the little village where I grew up, not many people had any kind of interest in hockey. Pretty sure if my family did live near or in the city we wouldn't have been going to any hockey games. Can't really remember any of my elders watching any kind of sports on TV saying anything about driving to a ball park or hockey arena. So I am not sure where I get it from, but I remember sitting down in front of the television on Saturdays and Sundays at a very early age and watching any kind of football I could find on the few channels we received.
I was a huge football fan, pro, college, high school; became a pretty big NY JETS fan but you know that's another story. So how did this hardcore football fan turn to hockey you might ask?? Well I got married moved out of the sticks to a area of more opportunity, and had two wonderful kids.
And that's how it happened. My son when he was about 6 or 7 years old took a liking to hockey. I didn't know the first thing about hockey. But there just so happened to be a AHL team in town called the Binghamton Rangers so we went to a game. And then we went to a few more and more, so much that my son, one trip, was upset because he was tired of going to hockey games.
This is when Zubov, Fiorentino, Ken Gernander, Kovalev played in Binghamton. So that was it, I was hockey hooked, and obviously also started watching the big boys on MSG. I climbed on the wagon at a good time because soon after the '93-94 season rolls around NY was celebrating. And even though I enjoyed it, I didn't really know what it took to win a STANLEY CUP.
Well here it is 18 some years later, a diehard RANGER fan, and I am coming to know what it takes to win Lord Stanley's Cup. I guess when I said back in '94 that I would probably be an old man before they win another Cup might be right. So far I have three grandchildren, not saying I'm a old man but … things are also looking better regarding that Stanley Cup.
Looking forward to this season. Isn't it so much nicer watching the boys having a winning season? Not sure how I will react if they actually go farther than they have recently. Another one of my statements lately is WHEN they do win the Cup I will be coming to NYC for the ticker tape parade. I remember watching it in '94, and thought the next time I WILL BE THERE.
So lets hope this country boy can find the city real soon. Thank you all of my fellow Boneheads and Carp for letting me tell you my story. And thanks to my son for introducing me to the best sport in the world.

When one thinks of camping, the phrase "roughing it" typically comes to mind. Flashbacks of faulty supplies, mystery food, bug attacks and the process of "using nature as your bathroom," tend to prevent people from giving camping a second chance. However, a new trend has emerged that not only accommodate all of your camping needs, but also your luxury needs. and luxury needs. Ladies, meet glamping.
Glamping, originating from such exotic destinations as Africa and Thailand, is a more luxurious way to enjoy the great outdoors by providing glamorous amenities and services. Tents, for example, are often built with an electrical power source, offering appliances, lighting and climate control for guests. As if that isn't luxurious enough, ditch your sleeping bag and upgrade to either an air mattress or king-sized spring mattress, sheathed in Egyptian cotton sheets. The best part? Camp is set up prior to your arrival, so all that's left for you to do is to simply enjoy.
The royal treatment doesn't stop there; full-course meals, laundered clothing, comfortable transportation and on-location spas come standard. Don't let all this glitz fool you, though; glamping is very much about enjoying and respecting nature. Guests will still embark on river rafting adventures, safaris, go rock climbing and spelunking. The biggest difference being at the end of the day, instead of coming home to a crooked, wet tent, a wait staff and a toasty fire will greet you. Do we have your attention yet?
As this fad's popularity soars, several resorts and outdoor adventure groups offer glamping escapades, as well as the chance to design your own custom camping adventure. And this includes local Arizona Outback Adventures, which offers a large variety of outdoor adventures, supplying meals and snacks, transportation and all of your camping supplies. Another local option is The Phoenician, a luxury resort and hotel in Scottsdale, which offers its own interpretation of glamping, per request.
"Here at The Phoenician, we can create a glamping experience by providing such luxurious offerings as AAA Five Diamond accommodations, award-winning restaurants and a world-renowned spa (The Centre for Well-Being), all combined with a variety of outdoor endeavors," says Denise Seomin, director of public relations for The Phoenician.
"The Centre for Well-Being actually offers guided hikes at Camelback Mountain," she adds. "The resort also has bikes available to guests to explore the 250-acre grounds, or nearby communities. In addition, the concierge staff can arrange a diverse number of active pursuits to add to the glamping trip, from horseback riding to river rafting."
If your glamping craving takes you beyond the limits of Arizona, Seomin suggests you do plenty of research online and consider seeking assistance from a travel agent.
"Its all depends on the exact type or style of glamping trip in which the travelers are interested," Seomin says. "Glamping, or the degree of such travel, is really at the discretion of the individuals, who can truly customize the experience to meet their expectations."
Overall, if you're interested in pursuing outdoor activities without sacrificing comfort and present-day amenities, glamping is screaming your name.

Richard Chai Love Made The Cutest Dress: MB Fashion Week Fall 2012
This dress was a standout in Richard Chai's fall 2012 fashion show.
– PJ Gach
Designer Richard Chai's Richard Chai Love label showed early (for us) Thursday morning. Fall for Richard's men and women is preppy/collegiate with an industrial, Eastern Bloc vibe — big, loose sweaters, tightly tailored (yet oversized) blazers, straight leg pants and lots of pleated skirts. Oh, and calf length socks with heels.
Amidst a sea of a hipper / grungier version of Ralph Lauren's prepsters, one dress stood out — see above. The colors were brighter in person. We loved the sleekness of it, the solid yoke waist placket and the belt. This could very well become our go-to dress this fall.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – For the second-straight year, the Saint Leo University women's golf team has pledged to run its "Birdies for Service" program.
The team will continue to honor their pledge of one hour of community service/outreach for every birdie they record in tournaments throughout the 2011-12 academic year.
"Last year, the seniors Kristina Carvalho and Jordan Hatch approached me with the idea of a 'Birdies for Service' initiative," said head coach Erika Brennan. "I was very impressed and proud of the outcome; they tied it to something positive and then took the initiative to carry-out the project."
Last year, the team recorded a total of 167 birdies in competition and went above and beyond their total, completing a total of 209 hours of service in the surrounding community. Service hours were given to Saint Leo University's Fall Community Day, the Great American Teach-In, the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3-Day, Habitat for Humanity, Operation Christmas Child, the Spirit of Saint Leo Tournament, and divot-filling at the Lake Jovita golf course.
"Our favorite last year was Habitat for Humanity," Brennan added. "We went on two different build days and the team had a blast. What made it such a unique experience is that we got to work alongside the future homeowner, so the girls got to see the tangible results of their hard work. We plan on upping the ante this year with even more birdies on the course, and we're looking forward to being even more active in our surrounding community."
The Saint Leo University women's golf team begins its fall season on Monday, September 26, when they participate in the Queens University of Charlotte Invitational at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.

PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania women's soccer team got a goal from Megan York in the 57th minute of its match with Dartmouth on Saturday evening, and that proved to be enough as the Quakers defeated the Big Green, 1-0, in a game that was critical for both teams with regard to the Ivy League title race.
Harvard's 3-1 victory earlier in the day had put the Crimson at 4-0-0 in league play. Penn and Dartmouth entered their match with matching 2-1-0 marks, and knew that a loss would greatly reduce its chances at the title.
It probably explained why the Big Green, as soon as the goal was scored, turned on the offensive pressure. However, hats go off once again to the Quaker back line of Caroline Dwyer, Haley Cooper, Lauren Hammond and Tahirih Nesmith. They, along with goalkeeper Kalijah Terilli, kept the Big Green off the board in posting their fifth straight clean sheet in a row and 10th this season. (An extra bow should go to Hammond, who blocked a point-blank Dartmouth shot on goal in the second half that Terilli was unlikely to get to.)
York's goal came off a shot from Erin Mikolai, who might have been the best player on the field Saturday night. The sophomore fired a shot from the left edge of the box that Dartmouth goalkeeper Tatiana Saunders had to dive to her right to push wide. However, York was right there waiting for the ball, and she pushed high into the goal.
The win was Penn's 10th in a row at home against Ivy League opposition, and put the Quakers alone in second place in the Ivies behind Harvard. Brown is third, at 2-1-1.
Penn has one final non-conference game this Tuesday at NJIT, then returns to Ivy play next Saturday when the Quakers host Yale at 5 p.m. That game will be the first half of a doubleheader at Rhodes Field, as the men host the Bulldogs at approximately 7:30 p.m.
