Dealbreaker: She Was A Compulsive Liar
Whenever I start dating someone new, they become acquainted with "The Big Three" — the three ex-girlfriends who impacted my life in the most negative ways possible. The Big Three include: the girl who tricked me into an open relationship, the girl who turned out to be a white supremacist, and, lastly, the girl who was a compulsive liar. For anonymity's sake, I'll refer to her as Lena, because I don't know anyone named Lena and I highly doubt Lena Dunham is reading my article under her quilt made of hundred dollar bills.
I met Lena at work and it was dirty, ravenous lust at first sight. We decided to spend the evening together and had one of those romantic nights doing kitschy, hipster errands that every "500 Days of Summer" loving American guy dreams about doing with a pretty girl. We learned about each other; I told her about my obsession with "Planet of The Apes," she told me about her love of punk music. Lena and I headed back to my conveniently empty apartment with a bottle of wine, six-pack of PBR, and two copies of "Face/Off" and proceeded to get absolutely spooky with each other all night long.
I asked her about her life: Where do you go to school? How old are you? What are your hopes and dreams? She told me she was almost 20, went to a prestigious, Ivy League school, which we shall refer to as Shmarvard, and had just completed a month-long mission to Africa. She regaled me with stories of elephants, orphans, and zebras. I became heartbroken when she told me that a large number of her friends had mysteriously contracted HIV. I remember her gazing off into the distance and mumbling, "That's when I knew … I had to help people."
I thanked my lucky stars that I had found such a profound and intelligent girl. As the weeks went on, we started seeing each other every day. Lena told me about the tough living situation she was in. Her roommate had fallen in love with her and had apparently stolen a bunch of her underwear and hidden them in her room. I gasped and commented on how surreal it seemed, like it was taken from a movie. Every time I tried to intervene and talk to this wayward roommate, she would tell me he wasn't home or he had stopped his panty thievery. Eventually, we became official and things got steadily more romantic. She would buy me and my friends presents, write me little poems, and play me songs she had written. I ate up every single poem and song like it was a Cinnabun covered in 14-karat gold frosting.
Okay, I'm sure most of you know the ending to this badly written movie already, but let me fucking finish because it gets really, really good. The more I learn about this girl, the less sense it's all starting to make. The very first clue dropped one day when we're at IHOP. Over pancakes, I asked her when her birthday was. She told me February and I told her that it's close to my brother's birthday. She smiled and said, "Wow! I'm only 12 days older than your brother."
"Actually, you're a year and 12 days older than my brother," I corrected her.
Lena replied: "No. Twelve days. I was born in 1991."
I choked down my bite of pancake.
"I thought you were almost 20," I said.
"Nope! Eighteen!"
I was confused, but brushed it off as a miscommunication — after all, I was pretty drunk on our first date and just assumed I heard her wrong.
The fuckery continued and weird things kept happening. Lena told me more about her life: the boys she dated, the adventures she'd been on, the places she'd lived, and the jobs she'd had. I was impressed with everything she'd been telling me: how she lived in an abandoned hotel in Detroit with an accomplished photographer, how she drove a watermelon-colored van down south with her band, how she did ballet in Brooklyn for six months, how she taught a class on archaeology at Shmarvard. It all seemed extreme, but somewhere in the realm of possible. After all, by the time I was her age, I had been on my fair share of crazy adventures–though most of them ended up with me and my friends at Taco Bell.
Finally, my friends and family started catching on. They would appear confused every time she mentioned one of her tall tales. Throughout this entire relationship, I became close with her brother, who ended up being the accidental whistle-blower on Lena.
So, back to her name. I chose the pseudonym "Lena," because it works for the lie she told about her name. For forever and ever, she claimed, she pronounced her name "Lane-uh," explaining that her mother had been calling her both "Lee-nuh" and "Lane-uh" her entire life. After every single one of her friends and family refused to call her "Lane-uh," I asked her brother what the deal was. He looked at me and said, "Dude, no one has ever pronounced her name as Lane-uh."
This turned into a conversation about how his sister was, in fact, a total liar. He told me everything about her was a lie. I went home and did my homework — scouring the Internet for clues and calling friends to fact check her stories. Most of her Facebook pictures were stolen from a friend's Flickr account, all the songs she'd written me were written by someone else, she had never been to Africa, never attended Shmarvard, never lived in Detroit, never lived in Brooklyn, and all the presents she had bought me were apparently shoplifted. It would be impossible to remain calm at this point, so I went as far as to look through her journals. Within one, I found a drawing she'd done. A pretty picture of a tree that she said she drew because it reminded her of me. I scanned it, plugged it into Google — you guessed it. Stolen.
When I confronted her, she went berserk and told me I was the one was had been lying the whole time. I listened calmly, drank my beer, and we broke up. There's nothing quite like being accused of being a hoax by a clinically insane human being to really rattle your nerves. For months afterwards, my trust issues were limitless. On dates, I'd question women and cross-examine them, fearing they weren't telling me the truth. A big part of me was afraid that I was (and I guess, still am) the crazy one and that this whole mess was somehow in my head. But all I have to do is Google some of the poetry Lena wrote me and immediately, I feel A-OK.

See the Cast of 'Big Top Pee-wee' Then and Now
In the 1988 sequel to 'Pee-wee's Big Adventure,' Paul Reubens reprises the role of Pee-wee Herman in a completely new context. This time around, Pee-wee is a farmer who takes up with circus folk when a big storm lands them in his backyard. Instead of his trusty bike, Pee-wee now pals around with a talking pig. (It's a little strange. The '80s, folks!) 25 years later, we take a look back at this film and see where the cast is now.
Paul Reubens, Pee-wee Herman
Then: Paul Reubens made his character of Pee-wee Herman famous with 'Pee-wee's Big Adventure' and the TV show 'Pee-wee's Playhouse,' based on his stage act, which was geared more toward adults.
Now: Reubens brought Pee-wee back in 2010 for a new stage show and HBO special. There's long been talk of a new Pee-wee movie, but development seems to have stalled. Meanwhile, Reubens has lent his voice to the animated series 'Tron: Uprising.'
Kris Kristofferson, Mace Montana
Then: The country music singer and actor played Mace Montana, the owner and operator of the Cabrini Circus.
Now: Kristofferson still performs music, and recently starred in the films 'When Angels Sing,' 'Dead Fall' and 'Dolphin Tale.'
Valeria Golino, Gina Piccolapupula
Then: One of Valeria Golino's first big American roles was in 'Big Top Pee-wee' as Gina, the trapeze artist with whom Pee-wee falls in love. Golino was the go-to exotic love interest in the late '80s and early '90s, with roles in 'Hot Shots!,' 'Rain Man' and 'Clean Slate.'
Now: The Italian-Greek actress went back to doing mostly Italian films after the '90s, and recently made her directorial debut this year with the film 'Miele.'
Penelope Ann Miller, Winnie Johnson
Then: Penelope Ann Miller's career was just getting started when she starred as Winne, a schoolteacher and Pee-wee's former fiancee.
Now: Miller most recently starred in the films 'Saving Lincoln' and 'The Artist.' She also had a recurring role on the television series 'Men of a Certain Age.'
Benicio del Toro, Duke the Dog-Faced Boy
Then: Benicio del Toro made his big screen debut as Duke the Dog-Faced boy in 'Big Top Pee-wee.'
Now: Having come a long way from his days as a circus freak, Del Toro recently signed on to star in Paul Thomas Anderson's adapation of the Thomas Pynchon novel 'Inherent Vice,' as well as Marvel's 'Guardians of the Galaxy' movie. He can be seen next in 'Paradise Lost,' in which he plays notorious drug kingpin Pablo Escobar.
Lynne Marie Stewart, Zelda the Bearded Lady
Then: Lynne Marie Stewart was known best as Miss Yvonne, the most beautiful woman in Puppet Land in Paul Reubens' stage show, 'The Pee-wee Herman Show,' and on 'Pee-wee's Playhouse.' In 'Big Top Pee-wee,' Stewart plays Zelda, the bearded woman.
Now: Stewart played Miss Yvonne again in 2010 when Reubens brought Pee-wee back to the stage. She plays Charlie's mom on 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,' and has also appeared on '2 Broke Girls.'

text: Posted March 31, 2012 · Report post Hello everybody, I've been lurking these forums for some time now and have finally been prescribed accutane so I thought I'd make a log. I am a 19 year old guy in my freshmen year of college. I have been suffering with mild acne since i was 13 but it has recently took a turn for the worst. I have tried just about everything possible treatment to no avail so i finally took the leap and started accutane. I will be on 40 mg for the first month and if everything goes okay i will be on 80mg for the next 4-5 months after that. This dosage is about right for mesince i weigh 165 pounds. Anyways i thought i would make a weekly log of my skin until these next few months are over. I will try to post pictures every friday of the week. Any support will be greatly appreciated and i will try my best to answer anyones questions. Day 1: As you can see I have quite a few actives and a plethora of red marks.

text: Last evening at a cruise-in a discussion came up about inline six cylinder engines (like the Chevy 292 and Ford 300) having a reputation for being "torque monsters". It was also noted that inline sixes were often the engine of choice for big trucks because of their torque characteristics. So here's my question: is the higher torque attributed to inline sixes due to the fact that their generally vertical configuration allowes for a longer stroke? Or is there some other factor inherent in the design (such as degrees of crankshaft rotation between cylinder firing, breathing characteristics, or something else that encourages higher torque? It's been said that Henry Ford hated six cylinder engines. Anybody know if there was a rational (i.e. engineering) reason for this? Personally I just think they're cool. Anyway, all things being equal, does the number of cylinders and the engine configuration ,in itself, have a significant effect on engine torque? Thanks for sheding some light on this.

Backup Hardware
Bronze Award:
Tandberg Data AccuVault RDX 1TB
Disk backup and data deduplication have become important technologies even for small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Tandberg Data's AccuVault RDX 1TB may be "setting the gold standard for data protection in that space and could even revolutionize SOHO," according to one of our judges. The AccuVault RDX 1TB is a network-attached data protection appliance specifically targeted for SMB, small- to medium-sized enterprise (SME) and remote office/back office (ROBO) environments. It offers source-based dedupe software and 1 TB of raw capacity (850 GB of usable capacity) in a desktop unit, featuring a removable disk for off-site disaster recovery (DR) and archiving. It protects up to five servers and workstations; a 1 TB RDX removable disk cartridge is included.
The AccuVault RDX uses source-based deduplication to only move new or changed data over the local-area network (LAN). It uses approximately 5% of the bandwidth that a traditional backup or post-process deduplication product would require. Tandberg Data uses a distributed computing scheme rather than performing all the processing centrally. Designed to get up and running quickly, the AccuVault RDX 1TB has a user-friendly interface and comes pre-set with backup/dedupe software; users can monitor the progress of backup jobs and create daily summary reports.
The Tandberg Data AccuVault RDX 1TB is priced at $2,410, which includes all hardware and software.

Jefferson Hills summer programs provide plenty for youngsters to do
Jefferson Hills Public Library's summer reading program and the borough's summer camp provided children from the community with plenty of fun and educational experiences this season.
The theme for the reading program was "Dig Into Reading" and featured a variety of gardening and digging-related festivities.
One of the most entertaining events at the library was Tuesday's visit by Animal Rescue League Shelter & Wildlife Center's humane and environmental educator Gilda Arroyo and Murphy, a 3-year-old striped skunk.
Arroyo talked about squirrels, foxes and other animals that dig as well as fielded questions from the children prior to bringing out the animal.
Olivia McGuirk, 10, of Jefferson Hills and her cousins Cassidy LaMarca, 6, and Dominica LaMarca, 4, also from Jefferson Hills, were exited about the visit.
"I didn't know that squirrels did dig. I thought they just hid their acorns in a tree hole," Olivia said. "I knew that foxes dug their den out, but I didn't know that they dug their food to keep it cool. I never saw a skunk before, only road kill."
The girls not only enjoyed the animal program, but also like to visit the library.
"I like what kind of books they have," Cassidy said. "'On Top of Spaghetti' (is my favorite book). It's fun (at the library)."
"I like the books," Dominica said. "I like to eat apples."
The girls said going to the Animal Rescue League would be a fun field trip.
Olivia said she was involved in last year's library reading program, and wants more children to take part in it.
"Reading is sort of fun," Olivia said. "I didn't do it this year so I could go to my camp."
Jefferson Hills resident Bob LaFrankie brought his grandchildren, Cooper LaFrankie and Cody Bloom, to the library.
"They learn a lot. Cooper loves coming here," Bob LaFrankie said.
Bob LaFrankie said parents would really enjoy the programs with their children.
Jefferson Hills children's librarian Ann Zettl said the reading program's success is a team effort."I want to thank my teens because my teens do a lot to help out with the summer reading program," Zettl said. "They help out with the artwork around the community room ... A lot of them have been here for several years. They come back and they tell their friends. We have a good group of kids that help out. With all these little ones, they get individualized attention so it's great. The kids look up to our teens for sure. No question."
Library summer events draw 35-40 youths.
"I'm amazed by the questions that they ask," Zettl said. "You can tell that their little minds are thinking all the time. Just the excitement and enthusiasm. I think it's great. They're learning. Programs like this, they take something home with them."
Activities conclude next week for the reading and camp programs.
A dinosaur party is planned for the reading program for preschool and kindergartners on Tuesday and for kindergartners through fifth-graders on Thursday. Children are encouraged to continue their reading and keeping track of a reading log through August for prizes.
Jefferson Hills summer camp is for children ages 6-12. Camp hours are 9 a.m. to noon weekdays at Gill Hall GBU Community Center and 885 Andrew Reilly Memorial Park. About 120 registered campers participated. Camp registration closed last month.
Monday is kite craft day. A scavenger hunt is planned for Tuesday. Participants will go to a zoo on Wednesday, make homemade Gak on Thursday, and have a Wiffle ball game on Friday.
People still can participate in the free library events. More information about summer reading is available online at www.jeffersonhillslibrary.org.

In the last 90 days, 12 listings have come on the market, which means leases are probably leasing quickly. You'll want to be prepared to tour spaces as quick as possible. About 33% of the listings in the Alachua are subleases, so you might be able to sign a shorter term by taking over a previous lease. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet available, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
The standard measurement for office space in this area is around 690 sqft. Most properties in this area are approximately 2 floors. Most buildings in this market were built in 2004 and are Class A.

Spring 2017 Office Hours:
Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays 1:00 pm - 1:50 pm and by email appointment
Patterson Office Tower Room 1453
Ph.D. East Asian Languages and Civilizations, Harvard University
M. A. Comparative Literature and World Literature, Beijing Normal University
B. A. Chinse Language and Literature, Beijing Normal University
After receiving my BA in Chinese language and literature and MA in comparative literature from Beijing Normal University, I completed a Ph.D. program at Harvard University with the support of a Harvard-Yenching Doctoral Fellowship. I studied Japanese at Harvard and went to Tokyo with the support of a Reischauer Institute Fellowship, where I participated in research seminars led by the late Professor Maruyama Noboru and Professor Fujii Shozo at Tokyo University. A leave from the University of Kentucky allowed me to conduct research at Stockholm University, visit archives in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, and deliver lectures at Heidelberg University. A National Endowment for the Humanities summer stipend enabled me to exchange ideas with Professors Russell A. Berman, Ban Wang, and participants at the NEH summer seminar on interwar modernisms in Shanghai and Berlin at Stanford University.
I have been teaching modern and classical Chinese language, modern and contemporary Chinese literature, comparative East Asian literature, gender politics in Chinese literature and culture, and Chinese film and popular culture since 1997 in China and since 2002 in the United States. I received a "Certificate of Distinction in Teaching" at Harvard University for my contribution to undergraduate teaching, working with Professor Leo Ou-fan Lee in "Cultural China in Contemporary Perspectives," a course on Chinese cultures from Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the Chinese Diaspora in Southeast Asia and throughout the world. I was also honored with a Presidential Instructional Technology Fellowship at Harvard, and worked closely with other instructors to bring technology into classroom teaching. Over the past ten years, I have supervised students and advised theses in East Asian Studies, Social Studies, modern Chinese literature, media representation of the Chinese Diaspora, cultures of the Second Sino-Japanese War, among other subjects and fields.
My research is centered on three interrelated threads: the intersections of performance, politics, and popularity in modern China, modern Japan, and the international avant-garde; the interactions among folk, urban, and popular cultures and political propaganda; and gender and class representations in literary, performing, cinematic, and visual arts. For the past fifteen years, I have conducted interdisciplinary, multilingual and multi-site research in Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo, Furukawa, Chongqing, Hong Kong, Singapore, Stockholm, Nijmegen, Leipzig, Heidelberg, Leiden, Taiwan, and Seoul in the broadly-defined fields of modern Chinese literature and culture, modern Japanese studies, performance studies, modernist studies, comparative literature, and cultural studies.
My first book, The Avant-garde and the Popular in Modern China: Tian Han and the Intersection of Performance and Politics (Michigan 2014), reveals avant-garde performance as an important political force shaped by, and in turn shaping, popular culture in modern China. The insights gained from writing my first book informed two ongoing projects. In my second book and web project, The Legend of the White Snake: From Folk Tales to Popular Culture, I set out to further explore the intersections of feminine performance, gender politics, and popular culture through the multimedia metamorphoses of the White Snake tale in the context of the Cold War and contemporary culture. In my third book and documentary film project, Joris Ivens, the International Avant-garde, and Modern China, I attempt to harvest the rich findings regarding the relationship between the international avant-garde and modern China in my first book and extend its critical engagement both historically and globally.

Welcome to WeRelate, your virtual genealogical community. We're glad you have joined us. At WeRelate you can easily create ancestor web pages, connect with cousins and other genealogists, and find new information.
Video Tour
We strongly recommend that you spend a few minutes taking our video tour. It provides a brief overview of how to use the features of WeRelate. A little time spent here may save you time later. There are also in-depth text tutorials available from the Help button.
Create Webpages
The next thing to do is launch Family Tree Explorer, then select File in the Family Tree Explorer menu and give your family tree a name. You can either upload your GEDCOM or create person and family pages one at a time. To upload your GEDCOM, select File in the Family Tree Explorer menu and then click on Import and choose the GEDCOM file to import. The system will create an editable web page for each person and family in your GEDCOM. To create a page manually, select Add in the Family Tree Explorer menu and click on Add new person; enter the given (first name) and surname (last name), select Add, then fill in the blanks and save.
The Family Tree Explorer is a Flash application and will need to use some space in your computer to cache the files. That's computer talk for "If you store some ancestor page information on your computer, you will be able to view more pages faster. Otherwise, the system has to fetch each page every time you edit or look at it. This would make navigating your tree very slow.
Connect with other genealogists
You should always sign in when you are editing or adding pages. Use the signature button (second button from the right in the menu bar above the edit box) to sign your comments on discussion pages. That way others with similar interests can find you. If you click on the blue user name on any page, you will go to that person's home page. You can leave a message on his/her Discussion page. The Discussion page button is in the light green second level menu bar above.
Shared research pages
Shared research pages act like specialized message boards. Be careful to use only one name spelling and one location in each field; do not use abbreviations. Including postal codes and multiple spellings, names, or locations in these fields will cause your pages to be improperly indexed. It will make it harder for your cousins to find your pages and work with you. For more information see Shared research pages.

Hi margie
Saw where you edited the transcript at:
No problem ... I was blurry-eyed when I made that correction. You're correct, a direct quote can't have those types of changes. The footnote is great!!--cowantex 17:58, 29 April 2012 (EDT)
SImplification [11 June 2014]
HI Margie
Note that you've truncated some of the personal article links on William Cowan (12)'s page. There's a slightly easier way to do that. [[Person:William Cowan (4)|]] (note the pipe at the end) will yield what you want to see appear (e.g., William Cowan). There is, however, a reason for not simplifying. Leaving the complete link showing the index number, helps people keep track of which particular William Cowan, etc, is intended. Not saying that's necessary, just that its sometimes useful. --Q 12:27, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback ... much appreciated ...
I noticed you left a comment on my William Cowan page ... http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:William_Cowan_%2812%29 under the burial section (in red, it says "This has been disproven. Please update."
What info has been posted that disproves the statement? I'm glad to update ... want things to be correct ... but if I'm updating want to provide the correct info.
I apparently added that note several years ago. I think it was probably in reference to discussions with you. I thought you'd been able to show that he actually died in Blount County. But perhaps not. Q 15:05, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
Many thanks ...--cowantex 14:41, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Hello Everyone,
I wanted to give a shot to Backtrack (you know, when you are bored during the weekend...), so i downloaded the last version, burned it, modified the default boot on my Asus N71 and launched from the live CD, and selected the first option.
Everything went well, until i tried "startx".
Screen not found. As i did not have internet access at that time, instead of waiting (which would have been the right thing to do most likely, so i would have discovered about the fix-vesa command), i tried all the other options available at the start : boot with graphics on RAM (or something like that), boot in text mode, etc. All of them. (even one that wrote lots of things on screen that i could not really read as it went very fast).
Tried the startx for all of them, never worked. So i gave up and tried to return to Windows 7, remove the CD and re-modified the boot order.
And here is the issue. It now freezes at the beginning of the windows 7 boot (either during the early boot, sometimes later on, after reaching the desktop).
Just freezes. HD is not turning anymore.
I can start it in safe mode, i tried the recovery thingy, but nothing works, it still freezes when i start windows normally.
Ok, i know that i shouldn't have played around stupidly, and i expect some people to have great fun through this read, but i actually need this computer for work, and i could really use some help in fixing it. So please, if you think you know why, i'm begging for help.
Thanks in advance,
PS : As i have a french keyboard, anyone knows what command to type in backtrack to turn the key layout into french?

Saif Ali Khan's Go Goa Gone has violated the Cigarette Smoking Act and the Goa government has apparently lashed out against his production house Illuminati Films, alleging defamation of the state and violating the law.
An amused Saif says, "I will sort it out."
Actors smoking on screen has a bad impact on the society. To this, Saif shoots back, "This is a very last generation idea. We actors are not your mothers to tell you that smoking is bad. Why can't I just be an actor? I don't smoke in my personal life…"
The actor hopes that the Censor Board of Certification will support him.
"Why are these NGOs not objecting to the guns and the killing in the film? How about banning video games that have more violence than films? As for the allegations of misusing Goa's name, isn't Goa the party capital of India? I want to make movies in peace, and Go Goa Gone is not meant to be offensive. It's not trying to glorify violence or drugs. These guys should see the film and then decide," he says.
The actor is very confident about Go Goa Gone and is rounds off saying, "I have a feeling people will like it."
1 Comment
Wow!! This actor thinks he gets to enjoy all this fame and money without any responsibility towards society.

US Wind Power Installations to Rise 63 Pct in 2007
Date: 08-Nov-07
Country: US
The US wind industry is on track to complete a total of 4,000 megawatts worth of installations in 2007, or about enough to power 1 million average homes, according to the American Wind Energy Association.
The new projection beats AWEA's previous expectation for the year by about 33 percent.
"This is great news because it means that new, readily available, clean generation is reaching consumers at a time when electricity demand and global warming concerns are both on the rise," said Randall Swisher, AWEA's executive director, said in a release.
Texas leads the country this year in wind power installments with California, Iowa and Minnesota close behind.
While wind power growth has been strong in recent years, it only generates a tiny fraction of US electricity. Last year alternative power sources, including solar energy, but excluding hydropower, generated 2.4 percent of US electricity, according to the the US Energy Information Administration.
Wind power has benefited amid concern about emissions of the main greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, from coal, which generates about half of US electricity and natural gas, which generates about 20 percent of the country's power. In some areas of the country, wind power costs roughly the same as traditional power from the grid.
The US Congress is considering bills that would limit greenhouse gas emissions, though President George W. Bush has opposed such regulations.
AWEA said a long-term national policy to promote alternative energy is needed to assure strong wind power growth going forward. A federal production tax credit for renewable energy will expire in December next year.

The Euro to Dollar exchange rate hovered near a 7-1/2-month high as signs of progress in U.S. budget talks added to risk appetite, this combined with progress during European summit talks, and a stronger Euro could drive the rate above 1.3200 EUR/USD in the short term.
Foreign exchange traders have sold the Dollar, cutting back on safe-haven positions on optimism U.S. policymakers can reach a deal to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff, riskier currencies and higher yielding currencies have rallied.
This improvement in market sentiment lifted the Euro and also boosted demand for European shares, Spanish and Italian bond yields are also lower, good news for the Euro.
The Yen slipped against the Euro again today with the single currency rising 0.2 percent on the day to 110.66 EUR/YEN, within sight of a nine-month high of 111.30 yen hit on Monday.
"Economic data from Japan has not been good; this could lead to some quite aggressive easing from the BOJ. We are forecasting 90 Yen over the coming year," said a senior Forex trader today.
The South African Rand (ZAR) to Dollar exchange rate edged higher today after the ruling ANC re-elected President Jacob Zuma as its leader and brought in respected businessman Cyril Ramaphosa as his deputy.
The Rand to Dollar (USD/ZAR) firmed to 8.5520 from 8.5585 before the announcement, the Pound to Rand exchange rate has dropped back to support around 13.8300 (GBP/ZAR) further Rand weakness could be on the cards during 2013. Civil unrest and trade union problems have precipitated a recent and continuing Rand sell off as investors pull Rand (ZAR) out of South Africa.

PATRICK Mills and Brett Brown both needed only one word to describe why the Boomers' first-game Olympic curse continued - turnovers.
The Australian team fell agonisingly close despite a spirited comeback in the final couple of minutes, losing a crucial match-up with Brazil 75-71.
It was a bad patch in the third quarter which essentially lost the Boomers the game as they went from just one point behind to 13 on the back of poor decisions with the ball.
The fact they clawed back to within two points with 29 seconds remaining was a credit to the skill of point guard Patrick Mills, swingman Joe Ingles and centre David Andersen.
Unfortunately, it was a foot violation which re-set the shot clock for Brazil, which cruelly ended the chances of an unlikely victory.
"The two things that stand out right after the game is turnovers and offensive rebounds," Mills said.
"When we turned the ball over they punished us and got points on the board. Take those away and we are right up there."
Brown had the statistic marked in big red pen afterwards.
"The turnover situation hurt, we had 19 and they scored 29 points from them," the Boomers coach said.
"But I liked our resolve, I felt we didn't quit when the game was clearly going the other direction."
Mills' speed and skill was again a stand-out and he led all scorers with 18 points, while Ingles had 15 including a big three-pointer in the final quarter.
Andersen finished with 14 after sparking the revival late in the third quarter.
The loss - the Boomers haven't won an opening match at the Olympics since Atlanta 1996 - could have significant ramifications down the track particularly given their next assignment is against world No.2 Spain.
Unless they pull off a major upset there, there is no margin for error with Australia needing to win the remainder of their group games against China, Great Britain and Russia to qualify for the quarter-finals.
But Mills is confident with better ball-handling, the Boomers will take it up to Spain, which is seen as the major threat to gold medal favourite the US.
"No question at all (we can win)," Mills said. "We take a lot of positives out of today, we'll need to change a few specific things but we can."
The Boomers started the game with promising US college guard Matt Dellavedova alongside Mills, while captain Matt Nielsen shrugged off injury concerns to take his spot alongside Ingles and Andersen.
They did the job early, clearing out to a 16-11 lead and it was only one-point the difference at halftime, but the problem for the Boomers was that its big men department - which was missing NBA star Andrew Bogart - had issues with Aleks Maric and Andersen on three fouls early.
Back-up centre Aron Baynes made some horrible turnovers, but he did bring energey and scored 10 points.
The leading scorer for Brazil was Indiana Pacers big man Leadrinho Barbosa with 16 points, while Marcelinho Huertas had 10 assists and 15 points and another of their NBA stars, the Cleveland Cavaliers Anderson Varejao, scored 12.

- if you had bothered to look closer, you would have seen the databook reference tag in the article.--Cerez365™(talk) 07:50, November 8, 2013 (UTC)
Oh okayMunchvtec (talk) 12:51, November 8, 2013 (UTC)munchvtec
Other websites don't list him as a ninja at all, and if he was a chunin just like Gantetsu then why would he need Gantetsu to protect him from the Land of Fire citizens? Munchvtec (talk) 11:54, August 21, 2014 (UTC)
- We don't take other websites as references and he could've been too lazy or arrogant to deal with others by himself. Norleon (talk) 11:56, August 21, 2014 (UTC)
Could someone maybe provide a scan of the data book page that says he's a ninja? Munchvtec (talk) 11:58, August 21, 2014 (UTC)

Diggs and Brown will join a very talented sideline crew, including four quarterbacks — C.J. Brown, Perry Hills, Caleb Rowe and Devin Burns — and top tackler Demetrius Hartsfield.
Diggs, who found the end zone twice against the Yellow Jackets last week, has averaged 96 yards receiving in the past six games. He is averaging 175 all-purpose yards this season, which is good for seventh in the nation. Four times Diggs has been named the ACC's Rookie of the Week.
Brown had emerged as the Terps' top rusher. He leads the team with 90 attempts for 399 yards and two touchdowns. Against N.C. State, he became Maryland's first back to surpass the century mark. It was just the 13th time in school history a freshman rushed for 100 yards in a game.
Also out against Clemson is Kerry Boykins, Tyrek Cheeseboro and Marcus Leak, leaving Kevin Dorsey, Nigel King and Levern Jacobs as the only receivers available.
Brandon Ross is expected to start in place of Brown at tailback. Though he is slated as the No. 2 back along with Justus Pickett and Albert Reid, Ross received a team-high 12 carries in Brown's absence last week, totaling 69 yards.Tags: Brandon Ross, Maryland, Maryland Terrapins, NCAA, Stefon Diggs, Terps, Wes Brown

At Rogers Arena on Thursday, October 25
When asked how his night was going, the beer man petulantly responded with, "unbelievably slow," as he took $18 for two thimbles of Alexander Keith's. To say the co-headlining gig with Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and Snow Patrol at Rogers Arena was sparsely attended is an understatement as the place felt empty. One can't help but wonder if scheduling a Snow Patrol concert on a night when a new episode of Grey's Anatomy was set to air was a costly oversight.
Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds took the stage and started with the 1994 Oasis b-side "(It's Good) To Be Free". Fronted by Britpop's favourite hooligan, they're basically an Oasis tribute band, albeit a very good one. The new material from NGHFB's 2011 self-titled debut sounds like the band that made Gallagher famous, and they also play a lot of Oasis songs, which, of course, were received enthusiastically by the crowd.
However, the loudest cheers came when the U.K. icon gave the audience what they really wanted: him acting like an arrogant asshole. An overly excited fan upfront was yelling at Gallagher that it was his birthday. Much the crowd's delight, the frontman responded with, "I don't give a fuck whose birthday it is. It's not my birthday. I don't care." A few songs later, as the fan, who apparently had a bit too much birthday cheer, was being escorted off the premises Gallagher kidded, "Getting kicked out for talking to me? Good!"
Looking like he was having a lot of fun, Gallagher ended his set with the Oasis classic "Don't Look Back in Anger." It was great end to a surprisingly good show from a legend who's still got it.
Snow Patrol, the television montage–friendly alt-poppers from Scotland, took the stage next in support of their sixth studio album, Fallen Empires. Fronted by the sweet-voiced Gary Lightbody, the band opened with "Chocolate" while video screens showed a laughably cheap-looking computer-generated eagle flying around. The eagle remained there for most for the show, inspiring you to make more than one joke about how stingy the Scottish are.
The crooner tried his best to engage the audience with banter, working "Vancouver" into the lyrics of "Hands Open", and attempting to get the crowd to join in. Unfortunately, it didn't work out so well for him; you really haven't witnessed depressing until you see a rock star try to start a sing-along with an apathetic crowd in a mostly vacant hockey arena.
Nine songs into its set and Snow Patrol had already played "Called Out In The Dark", "Run", and its smash hit "Chasing Cars", which so famously played during the dramatic season-two finale of Grey's Anatomy when Izzie's malpractice killed Denny shortly after he proposed to her. It felt like Lightbody might have blown his load a little early. This wasn't the case though as it turned the group was going to be playing a very short set. Snow Patrol only did a few more songs before finishing with "Just Say Yes" and left the stage without returning for an encore.
Undeniably, Lightbody has an incredible set of pipes. The more emotional Snow Patrol numbers make you want to run to the bathroom and cry while stuffing your face with a churro. But the people who dropped upwards of $90 for tickets to see the group were probably wishing they stayed home and caught that episode of Grey's Anatomy instead of watching a rather curt performance.

Snow Patrol are from Northern Ireland, not Scotland. But yes, Noel did kick their asses in Seattle and Vancouver.

Most or all of the founding members of Snow Patrol are from Northern Ireland, but the band started in Scotland and as far as I know has always been based there. If you want to argue that Snow Patrol is Irish, I suppose you could also make a case that AC/DC is Scottish. And, quick now, where is Crowded House from?

Snore Patrol. They always find 'em for me.

They are from N.I., formed in Scotland, and they were better than Noel. And Im a bigger fan of Noel! Proven by the fact that the sparse crowd, in fact, doubled in size when Snow Patrol took the stage! I went only to see Noel, but I was more impressed by Snow Patrol. Seems like this reviewer wasnt paying attention. Though sparse and subdued, the crowd was eating out of Gary Lightbody's hands. TERRIBLE review.

Cam, are you kidding? LOL I went to see only Noel Gallagher and as we were leaving, half the arena joined us. I have friends who stayed for Snow Patrol and left 2 songs in as it was an empty grave after Noel had left.
Please, Please, Please---have some balls

Dr Ciaran ONeill
Ussher Assistant Professor in Nineteenth-Century History
Research Interests
My research has mostly focused on elites and elite education, something very much at the core of both of my books, Irish Elites (2013) and Catholics of Consequence (2014). I also occasionally publish on Irish literature 1890-1940, and have also become more and more interested in Public History since my time at TCD. My next project will be about power.
Since 2014 I have been the President of the SSNCI - an interdisciplinary society dedicated to the study of nineteenth-century Ireland. In addition to this I have also been involved with a group of likeminded historians working together in the Transnational Ireland Network, and in a global research network called SPECTRESS, funded by the European Commission.
