Lens Review: Sigma 24-60mm F2.8 EX DG
This Sigma lens came out around 2004 as a reasonably priced higher-end zoom lens specifically designed for digital SLR cameras. It has a maximum aperture of f2.8 throughout the entire zoom range, which is its claim to fame to being considered a higher-end lens. The reason it was lower priced probably had something to do with the unusual zoom range, 24mm being 6mm short of most standard kit zoom lens … Continue reading

I currently have chronic pain in my upper thoracic spine right between my scapula that feels as though there is someone pushing their fist into my back at all times. It has been getting progressively worse for about ten years after a trauma to that area of the back. No examination was done at that time.
Some days it's worse and I cannot turn my head and can barely rotate my trunk. It is tender to the touch always. Nothing has shown up on either MRIs or X-ray so it doesn't seem to be musculoskeletal. Naproxyn and methocarbomal help some, but after 10 years of this I'm starting to think I'm losing my mind! Any ideas?
My neurologist suggests nerve damage, which we will look into after a course (yet again in PT) but as I'm just beginning Ribavirin/interferon now, that's on hold.READ MORE

Felix HandHold iPhone 5s Wallet Case Review
Felix, it's a name that you probably haven't heard of yet, but after checking out this case, we're certain that the name will stick around for sure. We've checked out several wallet cases for various smartphones in the past, with some offering a more practical implementation than others, however, we haven't been totally impressed by many of them. Some employ that folding wallet design, while others just have a few slits to accommodate some things, as a whole though, they've all lacked an interesting design. Well folks, the team over at Felix have a very clever, minimalist wallet case for the iPhone 5s – the Felix HandHold.
Alright, we'll admit that our interest is piqued significantly by this HandHold case, mainly because it's form fitting, it's available in some flashy-bright colors, and that the design isn't typical of a wallet case. To tell you the truth, the HandHold case isn't going to replace your wallet, the one that's grossly bursting with all your stuff, but rather, it's meant to be the perfect companion for a night out – just because it's able to only accommodate up to three cards, or a mixture that can include cash.
Like we said, the HandHold is a minimalist case, since it reminds us of a bumper case with a few "fingers" around the back to hold content in place. Actually, from the rear, the design looks as if a hand is actually grasping the smartphone. Putting on the case, we're left to simply put it around the sides of the phone – while the bottom piece snaps with the main frame to keep everything nice and shut. And it's constructed from this high strength engineering thermoplastic material, which helps it to protect it from some minor bumps and bruise. However, it's not meant to survive serious falls, especially if something comes in contact with the display. It's wonderful that the fingers flex to accommodate the things we need, but the screen of the iPhone 5s is left exposed – it doesn't include a screen protector, so you'll need to make sure you have one to protect it.
This is arguably the best looking wallet case we've seen! Needless to say, it's not for everyone, but if you plan on dancing the night away and don't want to be burdened by having your wallet and phone on you, the Felix HandHold case for the iPhone 5s is the ideal solution. With its retail pricing of $29.99, which includes a a screen protector for the rear to protect it from scruffs that can incur from taking in/out your various cards that are along for the ride, it seems like a reasonable offering, especially with its unique design. Trust us, your pockets will surely appreciate the lighter load! Expect to see it land soon online.

pretty ugly, if the fingers were stiff and still flexible so that you could use it as a kickstand that would be cool, but why would you put your card on the back of your phone exposed like that.. do you know how often I lose my phone?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/3/2014 (1252 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Two young men were stabbed in the West End early this morning after getting into a dispute with a group of strangers.
Police say they were called to Beverly Street and Ellice Avenue around 3:15 a.m. where they found an 18-year-old man with an upper body stab wound.
A second stabbing victim, also 18, was found soon after near Maryland Street and Ellice Avenue, said police.
The investigation so far has revealed that the victims and a woman got into an argument with another group at Maryland and Ellice.
When the three left, they were followed to the 400 block of Agnes Avenue, confronted and attacked, police said.
Suspect information or descriptions were unavailable.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 204-986-6668 or CrimeStoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477).

Recipe by Tisme
Going through my old handwriiten cookbooks and found this gem. I remember making these once for a B.B.Q. and thought I would share!
Top Review by Peter J
Simple and delicious! I made a few small preparation changes slicing the mushrooms and zucchini to suit the size of the prawns / skewers but otherwise stuck with the marinade and cooking method. The subtle lemon / garlic flavour was great and the olive oil in the marinade helped it all cook evenly.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 24 prawns
- 3 zucchini (courgettes)
- 16 large button mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon oil
- wooden skewer
Marinade Ingredients
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1⁄2 teaspoon lemon zest, finely grated
- salt and pepper
Directions See How It's Made
- Shell and devein the prawns. Top, tail and wipe the zucchini and slice into think rounds. Clean the mushrooms with a soft cloth and remove the stems. Put the prawns, mushroom caps and zucchini into a large bowl. Add the marinade and cover with cling wrap and leave for 1 hour gently stirring the mix occansionally.
- After 1 hour drain off the marinade and thread the prawns, zucchini, and mushrooms alternately onto skewers. (I use 3 of each thing on each skewer).
- Place skewers onto an oiled baking tray and cook in a moderately hot oven for 20-25 minutes, basting them 4-5 times during cooking with the cooking juices.
- Serve hot.

LONDON (Reuters) - Airbus has a "couple" of A380 superjumbo production slots available for existing customers at the end of 2015, its sales chief said on Tuesday.
The aircraft would not be available for new customers because of the customization needed for a new layout of its double-decker cabins.
"If you are a new customer I do not have anything available in 2015; if you're an existing customer who doesn't want to have his spec changed I could get you a couple of slots at the end of 2015," John Leahy told a news conference.
Passenger aircraft are usually sold years ahead of delivery but a slack period of sales of the world's largest passenger jet has left unusual gaps in production. Leahy said, however, that he was confident about long-term demand for the 525-seat jet.
He also said he planned to make a product announcement and "commercial announcements" indicating new orders at an air show in Beijing on Wednesday, but declined to give further details.

Archives and Public History
Archivists and public historians present and interpret history in a wide variety of dynamic venues, ranging from history museums to digital libraries. For three decades, NYU has prepared students for successful careers as archivists, manuscript curators, documentary editors, oral historians, cultural resource managers, historical interpreters, and new media specialists.
The program emphasizes a solid grounding in historical scholarship, intense engagement with new media technologies, and close involvement with New York's extraordinary archival and public history institutions. Students in the program elect to follow a concentration in either archival management or public history.
As part of their core coursework, students have the opportunity to embark on independent research ("capstone projects") using the unique resources of New York City as their public history and archives laboratory. In addition, internships are integrated with coursework, contributing to a professionalized and constructive learning environment.
See the Program page for information on application procedures and requirements, financial aid, advanced certificates in archives and public history, and the dual-degree program with Long Island University. See also the program brochure. For additional information, contact the director of the program, Professor Peter J. Wosh, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

DETROIT - Detroit City Council Member Saunteel Jenkins is introducing an ordinance to stop the practice of so-called "13th" pension checks in the city.
The checks are essentially an annual bonus for the city's non-uniformed retirees.
The city of Detroit has allowed these checks to be issued for more than 20 years, but Jenkins says it's at too big of a cost. "There's one study done that said if we had not distributed 13th checks there would be about $1.9 billion dollars more in the pension system today," said Jenkins.
The check is sometimes one extra monthly payment, or spread out over an entire year. The check averages about $250 per retiree.
Lou Hatty, a pension board member told Local 4 that retirees "had the assumption that they'd be taken care of further on down. Now that it's further down, they should be taken care of."
Other pension board members say that in 2005 they put aside a special pot of money to help continue these extra checks even during tough economic times.
Jenkins argues the payments not only put more pressure on the pension fund, it also can put pressure on the general fund.

Telstra has been accused of deliberate delaying the national broadband network rollout to see who wins the federal election.
Telstra ordered a stop to remediation work on its cement pits after unions raised concerns in May that untrained labourers were working with asbestos.
Now the same officials from the Communications, Electrical and Plumbing Union claim subcontractors for both Telstra and NBN Co have been unnecessarily deprived of work for nine weeks.
A Telstra spokeswoman denied the allegations, saying the safety of workers and contractors was a priority – "something we thought the unions would have supported us on"
However, national CEPU official, David Mier, used emotional language to describe the plight of workers in limbo.
Subcontractors were "going broke and losing their houses" and if any suicided under financial stress it would be "blood on Telstra's hands", he said.
Mr Mier said enough subcontractors had received sufficient asbestos training in recent weeks to return to work, but that Telstra was using "delaying tactics" to slow down the rollout ahead of the federal election.
"[Telstra] do not want them back to work because [Telstra] are running [Malcolm] Turnbull's agenda," Mr Mier said.
"Prior to us telling them to stop work [Telstra] were happy to continue with untrained blokes on their network. Now that they are adequately trained they are saying 'the [Telstra] board has to decide when we go back to work'."
Telstra would benefit from keeping as many premises as possible on its copper network, Mr Mier claims, because the Coalition's policy retains the copper network whereas NBN Co has a mandate to replace copper with fibre connections at 93 per cent of Australian premises.
A Telstra spokeswoman said it understood the impact the stop-work may have on subcontractors, but denied suggestions it was delaying a return to work for any reason other than safety.
"We have a contract to deliver. The value of the NBN Co agreement comes not only from building and providing access to the infrastructure but also from disconnecting customers from our copper network – it makes no sense for us to delay."
Telstra must clean and stabilise much of its infrastructure before NBN Co subcontractors can install the fibre-optic cables, as part of a multi-billion dollar deal between the two companies.
The Telstra spokeswoman said it found training deficiencies following an audit of contractors and ordered contractors and subcontractors to complete "mandatory training in asbestos management" before remediation works could resume.
A task-force including officials from NBN Co, Telstra, ComCare, the new Asbestos Safety and Eradication Council, has met six times in the past nine weeks to discuss asbestos training.
An NBN Co spokesman said large-scale civil works and above-ground work continued despite Telstra's halt.
"We support Telstra wholeheartedly in its decision and are currently reviewing what impact it may have on the rollout schedule in the medium term."
Contractors Visionstream and Silcar declined to comment on the impact of the work ban.
Up to 20 per cent of Telstra's 8 million pits contain asbestos. These pits sit under roads and footpaths and provide access to Telstra and other companies' underground cables and wires.
Support is available for anyone who may be distressed by phoning Lifeline 13 11 14.

Gollum Illusion
buy it now or visit pattern website
The Gollum character from The Lord of the Rings.
The finished size is 94 cm x 54 cm (37" x 21") but I knit very tightly so yours may come out a bit bigger. I used 150 grams of DK yarn in each colour. Other yarns could be substituted.
The pattern includes the chart at a small size, fitted on one page, and also at a larger size split into three sections to make it easier to follow
This is my third experiment in illusion knitting and shows far more use of shading than my previous two. The outcome gives, I think, a far greater depth to the picture but the colours chosen, even though they are very suitable for Gollum, do not photograph that well.
September 2013 Update
The pattern now includes an extra chart intended for tablet users but others may find it helpful. You can view 20 ridges at a time and always be able to see the numbers across the bottom of the chart. Never lose your place again!

Leominster lost their place at the head of the Davis Wood North Conference after being held to a 2-2 draw at county rivals Hereford.
The north Herefordshire club took the lead from a penalty corner with Josh Watkins applying a good finish.
Hereford stepped up the pressure and Tom Clarke levelled the scores when the Leominster defence failed to deal with a dangerous cross.
Just before the break, Hereford took the lead in similar fashion with Chris Hill this time the man to find the net. In an even second period, Leominster levelled the scores when Jim Dunn squared the ball for Watkins to add his second of the match.
As tempers rose towards the end, Leominster's Harry Ellis spent a double spell in the sin-bin but Hereford were unable to profit from their numerical advantage and the scores ended level.
Ross are level on points at the top of De Cymru and Marches Two after a 4-2 success at Swansea City 2nd while Hereford 2nd, despite dropping points for the first time this season in a 2-2 home draw with Lansdown 2nd, continue to lead the way in Marches One.
Leominster 2nd were beaten 1-0 at home by Lydney second in the same division.
Hereford 3rd travelled to Gloucester 4th in Marches Two and returned with a 2-0 success.
Both goals came in the first two minutes with Alex Miller twice on target.
He netted from an Alex Dereham cross and then deflected a Dan Volpe shot into the goal.
After that, despite plenty of openings, Hereford were unable to add to their score.
Ross 2nd were held to a 1-1 home draw by third-placed Winchcombe.

Bruno Soares
Bruno is another great doubles player from Belo Horizonte, as well as Melo and Sá. He has always been a promising player, but many injuries almost made him quit tennis. Fortunatelly he had the head to stay on it and now it's paying off, with several great runs at doubles, which has always been his strong. In 2009 he will be partnering Ullyett full time and we can expect them at London for the YEC. Also a great guy, which is always good to see.
Re: Bruno Soares
Bruno got married with Bruna (:p) a few weeks ago. Marcelo Melo was the best-man, showing that they are good friends. There are some pictures at Melo's blog (http://blogdagirafa.blog.uol.com.br/)
Best of luck in 2009 and hope you are happy in this new stage of your life, Bruno :)

Building a successful Advisory practice is not very complicated, but it does take a tremendous amount of energy and effort. You need to utilize proper strategies, techniques and also become relentless with consistency to succeed. What I want to instill in the newly developing advisor is a sense of ownership. This more business type mindset can be the difference between having lasting success or coming up short. I once managed a program where I was charged with developing new Advisors. I brought in an executive to speak to a class where he explained that his role was to assist them when they had their initial struggles developing and managing their business. His experience showed that many of the advisors he worked with started off strong but eventually struggled and failed to continue growing their business. After hearing this I spent several years researching this very concern. What I found was that it was very real and happened to many advisors between the 3rd and 5th years of their careers, dependent upon how fast their initial growth was. This caused me to spend a great deal of time working with advisors that had either broken through this plateau or never encountered this period at all. This book is a culmination of the strategies that have proven to provide advisors with success in managing their business. It is hard-work but needs to be consistent work. It is very tedious work but such is the risk that could provide you with your ultimate reward. You see everyone in this business starts off with the idea of wanting to be good at what they do. But it is the elite performer that puts in the effort that goes along with becoming great! I wish you all the success that this business can provide you in the future.

New York, NY, US
The idea was to design a multi-use tower that attempts at engaging the user with a variety of options of interaction at multiple levels. The building is placed 300 ft. from Chicago in Lake Michigan to distinguish the tower from the city. With the separation from the city, the tower is attempting to become an example of a virtual vertical city. The structure is actually four thin towers in a diamond surrounding an atrium. The towers themselves hold only the uses and the elevators, ramps, and stairs are located on the interior in the atrium. The towers themselves consist of cells of varying heights and widths created by a pattern of two interacting shapes in a 12' x 12' grid. These cells house the multiple uses in the structure and can be converted into any use that the inhabitants need. The cells can also connect to the ones surrounding it to increase the size of the space that the inhabitants use. The elevators and stairs are scattered around the four towers so as a way to deviate from the typical elevator banks seen in most high-rises. They are stepped away from the four towers and con- nect to them by a series of bridges throughout the atrium.

Project #5 – Instructions!
I am pleased to announce the launch of our fifth project, Free Encouragement. Erin (Design For Mankind) and I have joined forces, and we are really excited about this one!
So here's the deal: There is just so much negativity all around us these days, have you noticed? It's infesting the internet, it's taking over the big screen, it's cutting you off, it's showing up on your bank statement, it's staining your new shirt, it's breathing down your neck, it's not giving you a vacation, it's talking behind your back, it's stuffing you in a locker, it's cheating on you, it's charging you more, it's giving you less, and it's making you miserable!

Borets – provider of engineering, manufacturing, sales and service for electric submersible pump (ESP) systems – has successfully completed eight North American applications of its Wide Range Wear Resistant (WR2) pump system. The WR2 system is ideally suited for harsh well conditions and has the ability to handle a wide range of production, abrasives and gas with the goal of extending run life and minimizing well interventions.
The initial North American installation was completed on May 15, 2015, in a North West Oklahoma well designed to test the pump's ability to handle a wide range of flow, gas slugs and flow back of frac sand over an extended period of time. The innovatively designed system utilizes a proprietary manufacturing process to provide precise dimensional tolerances, enhanced surface finishes and no undersurface cavities. The WR2 incorporates a superior hydraulic design to result in improved efficiency and reliability, less stress on the system and longer operating life.
The WR2 stage material is both stronger and harder than traditional ESP stage materials. The stage hardness is 57 HRC which is near the hardness of ceramic bearings and much harder than quartz. The staged is designed for flow rates of 250-1000 bpd (40-160 m3/day) and 560-1900 bpd (90-300 m3/day). Other system components include Borets' 4.56/117 permanent magnet motors (PMM) and Axiom II variable speed drive (VSD) which allows users to have a single VSD capable of running both PMM and induction motors from the same drive and common interface.
"Borets feels the introduction of this cutting edge technology will bring a true step change improvement to the ESP industry for producing unconventional wells," says Keith Russell, VP of Marketing for Borets. "Having a pump that can produce through the frac cleanup and through what would normally be several pump changes during the initial decline will greatly enhance our customers' return on investment by lowering costs and optimizing the oil produced during this critical period."
To date, there have been 22 successful field trials of the WR2 system, eight in North America. Several of these applications are currently still running; however, three of the wells that were pulled were capable of passing full API testing following, in one case, a 400-day test period. In addition to the successful installations and the proven ability to operate in challenging conditions, Borets is now operating a new dedicated production facility for this unique stage material.

Gates Library Initiative: Opportunity Online Hardware Grant Program
The New York State Library participated in a Bill & Melinda Gates Library Foundation program entitled the Opportunity Online Hardware Grant Program. The State Library worked in partnership with PULISDO to implement this program. This program provided 2,145 computers for a maximum of 421 New York State public libraries, for a value of approximately $6.1 million.
Lists of Eligible Libraries by Library System
Purpose of the Program
The Opportunity Online Hardware Grant Program was designed to help public libraries upgrade hardware and learn how to sustain these upgrades over time. The program focused on libraries that serve high need communities that are struggling to keep pace with technology changes. The program also sought to motivate local governments to commit long-term local funding to computer services in public libraries.
The two-year grant program funded public computer workstations, and associated training and tech support. It required dedicated local funding through a monitored and enforced escalating matching requirement (25% for the first year and 50% for year two).
The Gates Foundation determined eligibility for each participating library. Libraries had to meet two criteria to receive funding:
- Economic Need: Eligible public libraries serve communities where 10% of the total population or more than 3,000 people in each library service area live in poverty. Each public library was designated as either rural, urban, or suburban, which defined their service area radius.
- Hardware Need: Eligible public libraries demonstrated that their computer and internet services are vulnerable to becoming obsolete. Libraries ran a TechAtlas computer inventory report to assess their hardware vulnerability.

In 1938, a major controversy existing in the international chess world. Alexander Alekhine had recently regained the title of World Champion by convincingly defeating Max Euwe in a rematch for the title. The question remained as to which grandmaster should have the privilege of challenging Alekhine for the next title match. Various players citing excellent results in recent tournaments made claim to be the next challenger. But who was the second best player in the world?In order to help settle this dispute, a Dutch radio company, Allgemeese Vereningun Radio-Omroep (A.V.R.0.) organized a tournament exclusively of the eight strongest players in the world at the time, with the belief that the winner of the tournament, if not Alekhine himself, would earn the right to the next World Chess Championship.This book describes, in detail, that tournament, the circumstances that lead up to it, the participants and their games, as well as the results of the legendary, but under-appreciated tournament.

German chess journalist Andre Schulz tells the stories and the history of the World Chess Championship fights in fascinating detail: the historical and social backgrounds, the prize money and the rules, the seconds and other helpers, and the psychological wars on and off the board.
The Big Book of World Chess Championships
International Grandmaster Chess Tournament Held in Santa Monica, CA in August 1966
Ten of the world's strongest chess players competed in the strongest chess tournament ever held in the US. All ten of the players have provided annotations to their games. Every one of the 90 games in the tournament is annotated. All the games have been converted to modern Algebraic Notation with diagrams. The games are annotated by Jan H. Donner, Robert Fischer, Borislav Ivkov, Bent Larsen, Miguel Najdorf, Tigran Petrosian, Lajos Portisch, Samuel Reshevsky, Boris Spassky, and Wolfgang Unzicker. Introduction by Gregor Piatigorsky. Edited by Isaac Kashdan with a new foreword by Sam Sloan.

An Analysis of the Fischer / Spassky Chess Match
An analysis of the 1972 World Championship Chess Match from both sides of the chessboard - a Russian and an American analysis.
Both Sides of the Chessboard
A Dynamic Chess Opening
The French Defense is all the rage these days, and there are plenty of books examining the opening from Black's point of view. This book is a reaction from the other side.
French Winawer Poisoned Pawn
Championships of the Twentieth Century
This is one of the great classics of chess literature. British Champion William Winter deeply annotates 50 games that were played in matches for the World Chess Championship, starting with the 1907 match between Lasker and Marshall and ending with the 1951 match between Botvinnk and Bronstein. Winter writes with authority about these famous games, because he was personally present when many of them were played.
Kings of Chess
The Book of the Louis D. Statham Lone Pine Masters-Plus Tournament 1975
Lone Pine 1975 was the first ever truly Grandmaster Swiss event. Today, with many grandmaster Swiss events taking place every year, such as the Aeroflot Open, the Reykjavik Open, and many others, not to mention the World Open, bringing together 22 grandmasters to play in a Swiss tournament does not seem that remarkable. Even the title, Grandmaster Chess, seems to be a bit hackneyed with so many grandmaster events being played today.
Grandmaster Chess
Including all games from the 2014 World Chess Championship Match, plus previous games between Anand and Carlsen. All games have been highly annotated by Grandmaster Raymond Keene, OBE.
Magnus Carlsen - Vishwanathan Anand 2014 Rematch for the World Chess Championship
Phillips and Drew Kings Chess Tournament
Phillips and Drew/GLC Kings 1980 was one of the great chess events. London was a desert for international tournament chess from 1948-1973. In 1975 there was the Evening Standard London Chess Fortnight. Although these were fine events and very valuable to English chess; they could not be compared with the events in Hastings and Teesside.
London 1980
Church's Fried Chicken First International Chess Tournament
San Antonio 1972 was either the strongest chess tournament ever played in the history of the United States or, if not the very strongest, then second only to New York 1924. What makes this book especially great is not merely was it a great tournament with great players, but that the players annotated some of their own games. In this day and age, there are millions of games in the chess databases, but annotated games are increasingly hard to find.
San Antonio 1972
Report On the Chess Match of the Century
AT LAST- after cancellations, protests, demands, disappearances, apologies, reporter limitations, referee uncertaincies, chessboard glares, unsuitable chairs and disputes about lighting, noise, and player and audience distance were resolved-at last Bobby Fischer was in Iceland and ready to play. Jully 11, 1972, the Green Day, had arrived at last...
Fischer Spassky
Including all games from the World Chess Championship Match, plus previous games between Anand and Carlsen and a ground breaking history of the World Chess Champions, including representative games by each of the 19 prior holders of the world title. All annotated by Grandmaster Raymond Keene, OBE. Includes 36 annotated chess games, 234 chess diagrams, plus puzzles and quizzes based upon the games of the match.
Carlsen - Anand Match for the World Chess Championship
International Grandmaster Chess Tournament Held in Los Angeles, CA in August 1963
To help bring to the United States chess of the highest quality in the world, Mrs. Gregor Piatigorsky and her husband, the world renowned cellist, created the Piatigorsky Cup as a symbol of excellence in chess. Along with the trophy went the finest playing conditions and the highest prizes ever offered for any chess event. For the first time since 1932, a world chess champion appeared in an American tournament when Tigran Petrosian, USSR, joined seven other of the greatest international grandmasters in a month of competition at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles.

The Psychology and Tactics of the Title Match
Reuben Fine was both one of the world's strongest grandmasters of chess and one of the world's leading authorities on psychoanalysis. In this book, he combines the two disciplines. This Fischer-Spassky book is really three books in one.
Bobby Fischer's Conquest of the World Chess Championship
An Account of the Lessing Rosenwald Tournament - NY 1954-1955
Trophy Chess was one of Bobby Fischer's favorite books. He studied it with great care during his sudden appearance right after this tournament and his rapid rise to the top, culminating in his winning his first of eight US Chess Championships in 1957/58. It is nicely laid out and designed and is easy to read. In his famous ''My 60 Memorable Games'' Fischer later collaborated with Evans, who served as his second during his rise to the world championship and became one of America's best-selling chess authors with over 20 books to his credit.

Western Washington University
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
| The author of this entry likes his inside jokes.
Therefore this article is apparently not funny.
You can help by rewriting this mess, or encouraging the author.
Western Washington University, affectionately known by its inmates/inhabitants as 'Western', 'home', or 'that hellhole', is an educational facility located in the beautiful permafrost fields of Eastern Siberia. It has a reputation for learning that attracts people from all five corners of Kansas, as well as an excellent location with no problems or man eating otters.
No effort is made to conceal the school. In fact, the place is so mundane, that no effort whatsoever is made to hide anything. Anyone, including rabid conspiracy theorists, who says anything to the contrary is lying. There is no secret military base, there are no aliens, everyone is accounted for, and there is absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. Despite the absolute normalcy of Western, mentally unstable persons of questionable character repeatedly spread claims of UFO sightings.
edit The Truth
...Is that these sightings of Western are nothing but weather balloons full of swamp gas being shot at by experimental military aircraft of Al Qaeda. Those aren't hangars, that's just meeting rooms. You know, for all that government bureaucracy. That so called runway is noting more than a drag racing strip for dog sled teams.
If that doesn't explain it, then it obviously must be some sick internet fetish.
No, wait! It's Bin Laden and his forty thieves!
No, it's magic. Magic explains everything.
It's a lot of things. But what it most certainly is not is a massive government coverup. Nope, no chance of that. Move along, nothing to see here.
edit The Secret Truth
What Johnny Blue Suit over there doesn't want you to know is the real reason for these 'auxiliary meeting rooms'; he seriously expects you to think of those barbed wire fences as little more than office décor. By that reasoning, the watch towers are water coolers and the armed Marines standing at every corner are janitors. Hah, nice try, but I know that real janitors don't carry shovels and rifles (they carry mops and rifles, duh).
Western was started in the like, 1950's when an unknown flying object crashed into Siberia. This can be attributed to a soviet attempt to match the incoherent glory that is our Roswell incident (their 'incident' has a similar name, except it involves a few backwards R's, K's and here and there a Z). You might say this is another government cover up, but ask yourself, isn't it too implausible not to be true?
Anyway, where the impact of the Roswell UFO brought about such wonderful improvements such as the microchip and Viagra, the Russian equivalent brought one massive detriment to our society after another. The modern nature of this plague is varied, diverse, and they all stemmed from one core.
The visitors from the Siberian UFO not only survived, but landed intent on meeting our glorious human meat civilization. What they met was the business end of a dirt farmer's shotgun. This sparked a concerted invasion effort by a species of small, hairy beasts called otters.
The war continued remorselessly for many years, until the Russians apparently vanquished the otters. Key Russian officials such as Josef Gorbachev Lenin decided that the threat be examined thoroughly and so a facility was built near the site of the original impact. This facility was known as Nekulturny Facilitat Westrnovvych.
This facility operated flawlessly for a considerable time, and many advances were made in Russian technology, including the RPG, vodka dispensers, and the ever infamous Stalin Mustache. However, it was discovered that prolonged exposure, even to the invaders' remains, resulted in the corruption of the staff. The vast majority of the mutants, known as radyoaktyvny furrovichs, were killed off in Stalin's purges. However, enough escaped to cause the plague we all fear today, as well as necessitate the dictate following the resolution of the war of 1812 that the facility be shut down.
The Russians ostensibly did so, and so the facility was razed to the ground and replaced with a university, which kept the name of the old facility, and as such was known as Western.
That is, coincidentally, also where babies come from.
edit The 'Campus'
In keeping with its sole purpose as a College campus, Western maintains a number of buildings generally associated with College campuses such as those seen in 'Animal House' or 'Wayne's World'. These include, and are partially limited to:
There exist dozens of classrooms in Western's halls: this range includes thousand-person auditoriums/coliseums and three man 'education closets'. Many of these rooms are equipped with ridiculously slow wireless internet and even slower cable TV. The teachers are given many tools with which to teach their students, as well as a chalkboard with words pre-drilled into it. These rooms are only accessible by elevators running the length of the walls, and they only run one way. Either you never get in, or you never get out.
The majority of Western's labs are located underground, and are by and large reserved for the professors, their assistants, and their janitors (not guards, you see). The nature of their research is commonly known to be for the good of the Russian people. There is no need to investigate by yourself. There is, however, a considerable need for willing lab partners. Recent lack of volunteers has resulted in mandatory service. Additionally, new workers are needed to finish the #4 morgue building.
Residence Halls
The several million men, women, and weasels of Western's populace require considerable housing arrangements to keep them relatively alive. These requirements are exceeded by the half-dozen 'living auditoriums', set up jointly by FEMA and KFC. These massive buildings contain endless tubes into which the students are packed. These include:
Fairhaven: a collection of the most artistically maintained buildings, these four house thirty seven thousand students, but due to the eccentric nature of its General Secretary, no men over fifteen are allowed. the living conditions can be said to be among the best in their parts of the world, but given the surroundings, there is an understandable lack of enthusiasm for that.
Buchanan Towers: as suggested, these buildings are in fact towers. Soaring eighty thousand nanometers into the skies, these spires house all of four people. These people are cycled through at an incredible rate: the lack of guardrails and waxed floors cause many people to fall to their deaths in the Pepsi-filled moat.
Ridgeway: These thirteen buildings are each assigned a different letter of the Cyrillic alphabet. The high amount of carcinogens and Ecstasy in the tapwater results in an incredible sense of nationalism: as everyone believes they are superior to everyone else, conflict breaks out regularly. This is particularly bad in the case of the building known as Alpha: the individual rooms have declared war on each other and small four-man wars rage without end. All told, these halls hold three hundred people.
The remainder of the school's population lives outside and deals with it.
Each Hall features its own food generation center, known as a 'dining hall'. These facilities utilize state-of-the-art technology to reprocess food into semi-edible gruel. The theory behind it is that the less nutrients people get, the more likely they are to die, and thus the less they have to feed.
The gruel is, thankfully, then reprocessed into varieties of food. Items include bread, water, ham byproducts, bread byproducts, and deuterium. There is an annual celebration held on the fifth Sunday of every month in which the school traces its origins to the omelette in a festive and bloody series of activities, known cordially as Omelette Day.
edit The Edumacation
Western prides itself on being within the top four schools in their part of Eastern Siberia, being second only to Vodka State Technical College. Their reputation for success, despite being cleverly concealed, is brought through the roof by Western's programs for the advancement of humanity and destruction of people we don't like.
Despite Western's nature as an educational research facility, lack of willing people has meant that other subjects need to be taught in order to bring in more victims. These are, by and large, subjects one would find at other schools, but at Western one will find distinctly dark overtones behind it all. Some exceptional subjects include:
English: For those of us who delude ourselves into thinking we're the next Tolkien. At Western, great care is taken to ensure that everyone's writing is exactly alike, as similar writing styles will mean larger book series, despite them all being about mutant otters eating students.
Of note: ENG 102, ENG 104, ENG 666
Math: for the masochist in us all, Western's math department specializes in coming up with revolutionary formulas, the likes of which baffle even the most spectacular scientists. Unfortunately, these are also unleashed on unsuspecting students. A 67% suicide rate is completely unrelated.
Of note: MATH 114, MATH 25 ½, MATH 350^87 * 125%
Environmental Science: In this day and age of environmental awareness, no school lags behind Western's incredibly complex program for saving our precious earth from global warming and Alec Baldwin. Students are treated to a thirty mile hike through the neighboring Siberian wasteland, as well as taught to protect the local wolves from vicious otters.
Of note: ENV 101, …that's it. No one survives 101.
Chemistry: Chemistry is regarded as witchcraft by the administration at Western. Any student caught participating in such demonic activities will be shot on sight.
Of note: Nothing to see here
Theatre: Western puts great stock in its… drama… program… HA HA HA HA! HOO HO HO! Theatre majors! Really? Hahahaha! HAHAHA! Good luck getting a job! HAHAHA! Maybe you'll entertain some wolves? BLEHEHEH!
Of note: HAHAHAHAHAHA!
edit The Sports
Western requires some means of keeping its students and staff placated and gullible. Were they to recover their senses, the people would rise up and eviscerate the proletariat. Thankfully, this role is handled spectacularly by the local sports team, the Western Capitalist Pigs!
They manage to play every sport someone can come up with, including American favorites such as Baseball, football, Stick ball, and hit-other-people's-heads-with-your-head-ball. With their spectacular versatility, the Pigs fail to succeed at any of them, and as a result any victory is usually due to a tragic case of bullet wounds on the part of the other team.
The school's fan base is something to behold, however, as the school usually experiences 100% attendance at its various events. This is in no part due to the lack of heating in all other parts of the school at that time.
edit Et Cetera
Western, despite being a typical indoctrination/torture/ice cream center, has its own quirks, as most places do. These add to the character of the school, with a slight price paid in human lives.
-Western is responsible for the creation of the personal computer. A team of scientists invented it in the late 1900's as a means to break the windows of their cells. Every computer, including this one, has a warm tender coating of blood on the inside, as a gift from their severed heads to you!
-There is an incredible variety of clubs at Western. This is due to the requirement forced upon each student to socialize, and helps build people skills. Some notable clubs include the honor society, the dishonor society, students against otters, and the environmental society ( now recruiting to make up for recent loss- I mean for fun times!)
-Western's president is none other than the legendary Ron Paul. His creative, firm, and unforgiving leadership is what has brought the school to where it is today. His current plans involve using the student populace to commit genocide, then to have the entire school blast off into space. Somehow.
-Western has a rivalry going on, not with a neighboring school, but with the country of Pakistan. No one is quite sure why, but this rivalry encourages everyone to do their part, support their school, and die for the motherland.
-You may have noticed all the references to otters in this article. Western is seeking assistance from anyone who can help them rid the world of the otter menace. Because they're certainly trying to rid themselves of us; they number in the millions, all of them, standing out there, just beyond the walls, plotting, scheming, and singing.
-Ignore that. There are no otters. Those are just Capitalist lies meant to deceive you and deter you from getting a good education. There is absolutely no chance that you will mysteriously disappear three days into your stay, be roasted alive and served with a side of yams and cranberry sauce. That's just nonsense.
-OH GOD THEY'VE LEARNED OUR LANGUAGE! THEY'RE ADAPTING! JUST KEEP THEM AWAY FROM OUR INTERN--(incoherent screaming and snarling noises).

I sell genuine MAC cosmetics, and all my products come from the US.
There are alot of fake/counterfeit products on ebay at the moment - that spoil it for everyone.
I would not like to put a fake product onto my face - therefore I wouldn't dream of selling anything fake especially cosmetics to any buyer.
Tips what to look for:
Look closely at the pictures given by the seller. Some signs that the seller is authentic are if the pictures are of the bottom of the packaging.
Sellers want you to know that they are selling authentic items, and they will show you as much proof as possible. If the pictures are blurry. Contact the seller and ask for some more pictures. If they don't respond - avoid the seller as they may be trying to sell you fakes.
Eye shadows do not come with sponge applicator tips. Sponge applicators are the plastic sticks with foam on the end. Most MAC items do not come with any applicators.
Look at the name of the item. MAC pigments do not have eyeshadow names and do not have black labels at the bottom of the jars - If they have they are fake. Genuine pigment jars have a name and a clear or silver label with the name and batch number on. There are some special edition pigments that only have a name of colour on label. Eye shadows, blushes will not have a number, they will have a name.
Double check the name. Some fakes will have a name, but it may not be the name of any mac items. To find out, simply go to MAC Cosmetics and click on good buys, then search discontinued items. Type in the name of the item, if it isn't in the discontinued section, and it isn't in the current selection, then it's quite obviously a fake. There are lists of genuine pigment colours on some reputable websites, search on the internet - MAC Pigment list.
MAC pigments and eyeshadows barcodes are not printed directly onto the box they are labels. Some other items do have the barcode printed onto the box..
Check the fonts. The fonts on MAC items usually are small and in the top right corner, however, fakes may include a bigger typeface and be centered. Pay with Pay Pal. If you receive it and realise that it is a fake, you can report the item and get your money back, the seller may eventually get banned from selling.
There are also a lot of fake brushes on ebay - especially the Kabuki brush - if you see these for £5 - £9. I would say 99% sure it will be a fake. You can't buy these wholesale for that price.
There are new fakes that are almost IDENTICAL to the real thing, including in colour and texture. Keep in mind too, that even with authentic MAC pigments and other items, there can be many reasons for slight differences in the boxes, because MAC does have things made in different countries, they make changes once in awhile, there are scratches or dents in boxes that can occur during shipping, they could be old boxes like with some rare colours, that seller's have held onto for awhile, and MAC is making alot of limited edition items in China now, so this could account for subtle changes (not with the pigment itself, but with the packaging). So do not automatically assume something is fake, if there is a very minor difference (you could also have old packaging that you are comparing the new one you just purchased too, or the seller has some of the old packaging. BEWARE OF WHAT YOU READ ON FORUMS! There are sellers being accused of selling fakes without adequate proof - and several times, they did NOT sell a fake, but were accused of it. Generally, forum information is very good, but some people on those forums, just like to "get on their high-horse and stir things up, or they are also Ebay sellers, so they bad mouth/make false fake claims about other MAC sellers on Ebay..
MAC has several outlets in different countries – you may also find Made in Canada, Italy as well as Made in USA on the boxes and jars – I have found on a forum someone saying that only MAC products made in Canada are authentic – this is wrong, as MAC can be made in USA, Canada, Italy or even China

Understanding U.S. Farm Exits
The rate at which U.S. farms go out of business, or exit farming, is about 9 or 10 percent per year, comparable to exit rates for nonfarm small businesses in the United States. U.S. farms have not disappeared because the rate of entry into farming is nearly as high as the exit rate. The relatively stable farm count since the 1970s reflects exits and entries essentially in balance. The probability of exit is higher for recent entrants than for older, more established farms. Farms operated by Blacks are more likely to exit than those operated by Whites, but the gap between Black and White exit probabilities has declined substantially since the 1980s. Exit probabilities differ by specialization, with beef farms less likely to exit than cash grain or hog farms.
