Are you training to lose? If not, why not?
By Yelena Pawela
Yelena Pawela is a former K9 SWAT officer in Moscow, Russia, and is a member of the POSA Board of Advisors. She presently operates Y-Training in Floridia — www.ytraining.com.
Having just finished reading a book titled Train to Win written by tactical law enforcement trainer Wes Doss, at first I was rather perplexed that such a book would even have to be written for law enforcement trainers because the presumption that one could make is, until this book was published all law enforcement training prior must have been geared toward losing.
Of course this is simply not true; for training someone to lose would be the abrogation of responsibility of every trainer in law enforcement whose duty it is to ensure their people are best prepared for the hazards of the job and to keep those officers aware of those hazards so that officer can return home safely at the end of their tour of duty.
And ironically in the book (Train to Win), the discussion of the topic of losing was not even addressed, or not enough to make a rational discussion on the subject, which got me to thinking: why not?
Why as trainers don't we ever discuses the possibility of losing the fight and why is that very topic not in our training doctrines? Because whether we want to admit it or not, law enforcement has in fact suffered huge loses and defeats.
The big loses that immediately come to mind for law enforcement are the F.B.I. shoot out in Miami, the Newhall massacre and the botched A.T.F. raid on the Branch Davidians in WACO to name a few.
Let's face it, cops don't like to talk about losing; many cops would rather the subject be completely ignored altogether. The question that must be asked is: why?
What is more demoralizing to the emotional stamina of an individual, a unit or a department than that of a loss or tragic defeat? Losing causes a constant second guessing of ones actions, which in turns leads to loss of confidence, which in turn leads to hopelessness and despair.
And what is the reason for all these emotions that run rampant when faced with a loss? Simple, no one ever trained and prepared for the possibility of losing, and that fellow trainers, violates the first rule of tactical training which is: never assume anything!
To put it in better terms, the founder of SEAL team six, Richard Marcinko had this advice to say on the subject. "Never Assume Anything - plan your tactics as if everything would go wrong. Why? Because things always go wrong. Mr. Murphy is always coming along for the ride. Rule two: never give your opponent a break, which translates to keeping your opponents off guard, never allowing them to get ahead of you, either physically, mentally or tactically."
One of the problems I see with law enforcement training is too much time is spent training officers who are likely to face a lethal threat with the tireless combat shooting triad: marksmanship (the shooters ability to hit the target quickly), tactics (the use of position, movement, cover and concealment), and weapon presentation (draw and handle the weapon, including reloading), when very little of this has anything to do with actual armed encounters police are likely to face.
Rather, police officers face armed encounters when suspects are resisting arrest, when transporting prisoners, when conducting field interviews, when investigating suspicious persons and interrupting crimes in progress.
Since the nature of law enforcement gun fights of the twenty first century has changed very little from recorded gunfights of the nineteenth century what they all have in common are the following. Most certainly occur at close proximity, usually under poor lighting, often there is a foot chase involved, and usually the officer has to deal with inadequate facts of the situation as well as the problem of having innocent bystanders to be concerned with.
Given this, is there a part of the training equation that we're missing? The answer is: yes, and that is covering the topic of losing. Why is this so important? Because regardless of how prepared you are to win, sometimes you lose anyway — that's just a fact of life.
If police officers are not exposed to defeat in their training then this can lead them to believe they are undefeatable which could give the officer a false sense of confidence and an extreme case of tombstone courage which could not only lead to deadly consequences to themselves but very likely be a safety hazard to others as well.
Every human being can learn from defeat; in fact, it often makes us stronger. This is not a new or radical concept but one that has been time tested by every great warrior who ever lived. One of the greatest warriors of all time was Attila the Hun, who commented on both defeat and change. On defeat: "Sooner or later it will happen, if you recognize you're losing in the fight or negotiations don't deny it. Face it and take immediate action to minimize your opponents gain and get back to your cause. Learn to pass through your misery. Think about what happened and why but don't dwell on it. Consider all the potentialities of battle and negotiations before entering into them. Rehearse them in your mind. Think of the consequences that may result from your actions. This will allow you to be better prepared for the worst to come." On change: "No radical change is easy. Radical change is only necessary when we fail to learn from our past."
Contrary to popular belief police are human and do make mistakes. So why can't we train with that in mind? It is better to train for the possible sting of defeat, then not to and meet it for the first time on the street.

PURCHASE, NY -- PepsiCo has formed a joint venture with Theo Muller, Germany's largest privately owned dairy business, to open their first yogurt production facility in the U.S.
The joint venture, called Wave, will invest $206 million in the new state-of-the-art facility in Batavia, NY. The company said it selected the site for its access to dairy farms, a water supply and distribution routes to key markets.
The move continues a strong recent trend of major yogurt manufacturers opening factories in upstate New York. The state currently has 29 yogurt plants, which produced 530 million pounds of yogurt in 2011 -- a 43% increase from 2010 and more than double 2008 levels.
New York State is also the leading U.S. producer of Greek-style yogurt, popular for its creamier texture and higher protein content, which now accounts for a quarter of the total yogurt market following rapid growth over the past few years. Greece's top two yogurt brands -- Chobani and Fage -- both have plants in upstate New York, and both are reportedly in the process of expanding their production capacity.
Also competing in the booming Greek yogurt category are U.S. yogurt giants Dannon and General Mills.
The Wave yogurt factory is expected to take two years to complete. In the meantime, Wave may import Muller products in order to establish a foothold in the fast-growing U.S. yogurt business. The company has not said what type of yogurt it will produce.
The joint venture with Muller is PepsiCo's latest move to expand in dairy. In 2010, the beverage and snack giant acquired Russian dairy and fruit juice company Wimm-Bill-Dann for $5.4 billion. PepsiCo also established a joint venture with Almarai, the leading dairy company in the Middle East, in 2009.
Muller is the leader in the UK yogurt market through its Muller Corner brand.

2010 GMC Sierra Hybrid - High-Tide Hybird
Saving The Planet & Riding In Style
It may surprise you to hear this GMC Sierra gets 21 mpg and the 6.0L Vortec engine still makes 332 hp in the process. How can this two-toned, lowered, 24-inch wheel-equipped fullsize truck make plenty of power but still get such impressive mileage? Easy, it's a Two-Mode hybrid. Jim Lewis, from Pro Motorsports in Phoenix, is no stranger to Truckin' as we've featured many of his custom trucks throughout the years, but when it came time to build something different, he accepted the challenge to keep our planet green. With the birth of his first son, Caden James, thinking about the future became extremely important and what better way to teach the little guy about customizing than with an environmentally friendly truck.
Picking up a 2010 GMC Sierra Hybrid, Jim and his crew at Pro Motorsports got to work making the stock truck look a whole lot less stock. First on the list, a Ground Force 2/4 lowering kit was installed and the 18-inch wheels swapped in favor of trick 24-inch three-piece wheels from COR Forged. Jim ordered the wheels in black chrome and the specialty finish really sets the truck off. The Hybrid rolls on General Grabber tires sized 305/40R24. The wheels and tires, along with the lowered stance looked great, but Jim wanted a Hybrid with some real character, so the Sierra was rolled back into Pro Motorsports' headquarters for more wrenching.
Up front, a custom Strut mesh grille was bolted in place with a painted Empire Motorsports billet GMC logo, Anzo USA projector and halo headlights replaced the stock pieces and a Street Scene front bumper was installed. Jim then bolted on Pro Motorsports' own billet door handles and removed the rear bumper in favor of a Street Scene polyurethane roll pan. Looking sweet with all the bolt-on parts, Jim continued to push the limits by working with Flxpaint on its latest vehicle wraps. That's right, the candy lowrider green topcoat you see is actually custom-painted vinyl that was then applied in a two-tone style by JP Johnson, of Auto Distinction, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Even the blue pinstripe and dividing line is vinyl. Don't worry, we didn't notice the difference either. Jim did have Charles, at CD Designs airbrush the Hybrid logo to the Strut grille for a unique touch, but other than that, it's all vinyl. Capping off the exterior mods, a Pace Edwards power tonneau cover was installed, along with a Bed Rug, and N-Fab step bars were bolted on and help the GMC look lower than the 2/4 drop kit may suggest.
Inside the Sierra, a form meets function approach was taken. In order to keep with the green Earth theme, Wet Okole seat covers protect the factory seats and make jumping in the truck after surfing much easier. Several door panel plastics were painted and the Sony door speakers are also visible. The gauges have been upgraded to US Speedo pieces and Empire Motorsports pedals and custom Hybrid doorsill plates were cut out of billet. All in all, this Sierra is the most custom example of a hybrid truck we've seen and we're proud to say you saw it here first. Creating this truck in just six weeks wasn't easy, and Jim would like to thank his talented crew at Pro Motorsports, his beautiful wife Susan, and their baby boy, Caden James.

New to Buddhism. About 5 weeks new.
I've got a Theravada monastery that I go to about twenty minutes away. So that's pretty convenient.
I don't really have much to say about myself since I have some trouble identifying who I really am. Much fluctuation exists in my choices and personality.
Not really sure what to do with my life and what direction it's heading in.
I guess I can't really have a direction until I set one.
But the love of my life lives with her ex-fiancé and has two kids with him.
Neither of us have the money to get an apartment.
Besides, it's probably better if I remain living with my parents because I'm broke and I have college dues from dropping out and the rent is cheap.
But I don't really care about money. In fact, I don't really care about much of anything.
I'm just a paper bag being dragged by the wind.
With all the nihilism, I'm considering doing some research on Mahayana because they have some nihilistic schools that interest me.
But I'm not sure if the Mahayana are right in pondering the subject, because the Buddha told us not to.
But he also said that we can question him and argue with his principles, so I guess you can really do whatever you want within reason. But I'm not a scholar, so disregard my foolishness if you wish.
I joined Buddhism, not only because it makes sense, both ethically and spiritually, but because I'm hoping it will end up with me having a more positive attitude.
You see, I'm bipolar. And I recently lost a job because I threatened to kill myself because of something my boss said to me. So yeah I'm pretty much a mess and I'm hoping that Buddhism will benefit me in many ways.
Yeah, so I write poetry.
I'm a man of little words most of the time unless I'm in a really small group of people; introvert, they call 'em.
But when I write poetry, I usually have plenty to say.
Follow me on Tumblr @ [url][email protected][/url]!
You don't have to have a Tumblr account to view my poetry, just click on the link.
I would appreciate some follows, though, if you do have an account.
Thanks, guys. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you.

Pilot Program Links Low-Income Students to Benefits
October 01, 2012 | Community College Week | Link to article
Seven community colleges are embarking on a pilot project aimed at connecting low-income students to local, state and federal benefits - including child care subsidies and food stamps - that might make it easier for them to stay in college and earn a postsecondary credential.
WASHINGTON - Seven community colleges are embarking on a pilot project aimed at connecting low-income students to local, state and federal benefits - including child care subsidies and food stamps - that might make it easier for them to stay in college and earn a postsecondary credential.
Benefits Access for College Completion (BACC) is a three-year, $4.84 million initiative funded by the Ford Foundation, the Kresge Foundation, Lumina Foundation, and the Open Society Foundations, and managed by the Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP) and the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC). The Annie E. Casey Foundation is also contributing to the initiative.
The initiative will link low-income students with aid that can fill the gap between financial aid and the resources needed to attend college. The initiative's aim is to help students complete their studies swiftly and successfully move into jobs earning family-sustaining wages.
According to the College Board, the average full-time community college student had more than $6,000 in unmet need in 2011-12 The result is that 66 percent of young community college students work more than 20 hours per week to help pay for school and their home and family obligations, and 58 percent attend college part-time to accommodate work.
"In today's economy, it's more important than ever that students have the supports to earn a higher education so they can land better jobs and support their families," said Evelyn Ganzglass, director of workforce development at CLASP, a non-profit that advocates for low-income Americans. "Rising college costs mean an education is increasingly out of reach for millions. By combining traditional student financial aid with public supports, students are better positioned to get by and complete their education."
Each college has created its own plan to integrate screening and application assistance for public benefits with the services the colleges already provide, like financial aid counseling. The colleges are partnering with local human services agencies to better provide these integrated services. Each one took into account local resources and policy contexts to develop strategies that will substantially assist students.
"We applaud these colleges for taking an informed and proactive look at how they can help those students most in need of financial and public support to pursue their college and career goals while dealing with work and family pressures," said AACC President Walter G. Bumphus said. "These benefits, including health insurance, food, and child care, as well as financial aid, can help them to complete credentials and get into well-paying jobs."
The colleges participating in the implementation phase of the project are: Cuyahoga Community College (Ohio); Gateway Community and Technical College (Ky.); LaGuardia Community College (N.Y.); Lake Michigan College and Macomb Community College (Mich.), Northampton Community College (Pa.), and Skyline College (Calif).
"These institutions have stepped up with new and creative ideas to meet the financial needs of low-income college students," said Ford Foundation Program Officer Chauncy Lennon. "This initiative will offer a space for experimentation to test whether delivering these supports on campus will ultimately increase the number of students who complete credentials, become skilled workers and succeed in our economy."
The pilot period for this initiative will last from the fall 2012 semester through 2014, after which BACC will share the most successful strategies and lessons learned with policymakers and other community colleges nationwide to improve retention and credential completion.

Several private sponsors were also involved, he noted. In this wrap-up, he explains the purpose of the conference.

An inspirational teenager has being doing her bit to support the family of a toddler diagnosed with a rare cancer.
Sienna Riley, who turns three next month, has neuroblastoma - an aggressive but rare child cancer that attacks the nerve cells.
Despite being scheduled to have surgery yesterday, there is a high chance Sienna's cancer will return.
In case her family's worst fears are realised and Sienna does suffer a relapse, they have been raising money to pay for her to undergo further treatment in Germany.
The Rileys have already raised more than £5,000 and thanks to friend of the family Ellie Wade, 13, are now set to add to the total.
Ellie, who grew up with Sienna's sister Courtney, has spent her lunch and breaks painting nails for staff at Notley High School, where she is a pupil.
She has raised more than £130.

My friend tapped on the glass and waved at him, Slick kindly waved back, which was pretty cool. Seconds later he started walking our way and came outside to smoke a ciggarette. I had no idea Slick smoked? He lit up a Winston 100. My freind and I talked hoosiers basketball along with the Pacers. He told us that AJ Price would be the first PG off the bench, which he was. He also said they will land a top 5 pick in June's draft. We talked for about 5 mintues during our smoke and right after he was done he lit up another one....I couldn't leave Slick hanging so I lit up another one even though I really didn't want to...I was pretty drunk at the time so I dont remember all that much. It was pretty cool so I thought I'd share it with you. PS I've been reading your guys' posts for years now and just figured out I can post too...looking forward to talking to you all soon.

Father Lino Otero, LC, helping youth grow closer to Christ.
As a child I never thought of becoming a priest.
I used to play by myself designing cars and houses
with my Lego toys. The way machines worked fascinated me.
I thought I would become an architect or an engineer.
My ideal was to have a small, middle class family.
Inside, however, a great void consumed my heart. Insecurity
and timidity held me captive. I was only a dreamer.Before
the political unrest in Nicaragua, my family migrated to the
United States in 1981. Right from the beginning I knew
there were sacrifices to be made. I would have to
study hard in order to go to college, but in
a couple of years I was on my school´s honor
roll. I also joined the parochial youth group, a place
where I found good friends. In spite of this, my
soul still remained unfulfilled and restless.After Christmas 1983 the boys
from my youth group organized a retreat at a Cistercian
monastery. Cold and tired, we got there after a long
journey. The surroundings were different from anything I had experienced
before. The atmosphere was full of silence and recollection. I
was enchanted by the beauty of the Gregorian Chant sung
at dawn and by the splendor of the starry nights
over the wheat fields. Time seemed to have stopped at
that place. On Wednesday evening, as I walked upstairs to
my room, an intense light shone in my mind, an
arrow of love struck my heart. In an instant I
perceived the greatness of God´s love. He was calling me:
"Be with me". All my past life seemed like
a closed book. A new book was opening before me.
Perplexed, I stopped at the very step where I had
received that light. I pondered this for the remainder of
the retreat.I knew I had a treasure in my heart
and yet the message was not very clear. Did that
mean I would have to become a priest? The idea
was now very appealing: To spend my whole life for
God! After thinking much for the next two months I
spoke about it at home. It was a bomb. They
were shaken: "You are only seventeen years old. You are
too young to know what the priesthood is". I
was very naïve. True. I began to read books about
the priesthood. I took anything I could find on my
own: books from the public library. Most of them were
scandalous. Yet I did not give up. God´s love was
stronger. However, I did grant my parents a compromise. I
would please them by getting an academic degree from college
before entering seminary.After struggling hard to get an Associate in
Science degree in a year I entered the diocesan seminary.
The college experience had put my faith to the test.
I had many doctrinal and moral doubts. Even though I
was open to the teachings of the Church, the contrary
arguments seemed so reasonable to me. At times, the teachings
of the Church seemed so distant from people´s real lives.
Yet it was in the seminary where I had my
intellectual conversion. The thought of St. Thomas Aquinas captivated my
mind and my heart. The teachings of this doctor of
the Church with the deepest fibers of my moral sensibility.
All uncertainty left me. I resolved to study hard. I
examined the most acute philosophical problems. I spent long
hours in the library doing research. At times I would
debate my own classmates. The more I delved into these
problems the more I loved the teachings of the Church.
I was also scandalized at the vices I eventually discovered
in some of those who opposed the teachings of the
Church.Almost at the same time I was going through a
spiritual conversion. An elderly and holy priest introduced me to
the spiritual tradition of the Church. I was amazed at
the role of abnegation and the demands of the cross
in the path to holiness. With these thoughts in mind
I found a classical book on the spiritual life which
would help me ponder and reflect about the meaning of
that call in that monastery. The idea of professing vows
of poverty,chastity and obedience captivated my heart. Deep
down I knew God was calling me to a radical
consecration of my life for him. At the beginning I
had set down some conditions to follow God. First I
had postponed my entry to the seminary, later I had
discarded religious life.I spoke with that holy priest sharing my
outlook. He advised me to follow the religious life
and directed me towards the Legion of Christ. I
wrote Father Anthony Bannon, LC, and he invited me to
speak with him. Coming into contact with the community
of novices in Cheshire, Connecticut, was like a glimpse of
heaven. There reigned harmony, charity and unity. After
studying my case Father Bannon sent me to teach at
a Legionary school in Wisconsin before I entered the novitiate
in 1990. Father Lino Otero LC was born in
Managua, Nicaragua in 1966. Due to the political unrest
of his home country his family migrated to the United
States in 1981. After high school he earned an
Associate in Science Degree in Business Administration in Miami, Florida.
He joined the Legion of Christ in 1990 in
Cheshire, Connecticut. During the last few years he received
his Masters in Philosophy and his Bachelors Degree in Theology
at the Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum in Rome. He has
worked as administrator of Everest Academy in Michigan and as
a pastoral associate in the Minor Basilica of Our Lady
of Guadalupe in Rome. He was ordained a priest
on December 22, 2001 at the Basilica of St. Mary
Major in Rome and currently serves at the Shrine of
Our Lady of Guadalupe in Sacramento, CA.

Interesting by the way to see how he switched over to another AP (SAGEM_5B99) with another bssid, different channel and much lower PWR rating just 8 minutes after his initial attempt with Rami'z World. It couldn't be that you are playing with someone else's toys now could it Lovena.2008?

The warm weather is finally creeping in and if you're ready to get that golden glow to look best in your gorgeous and colorful spring attire, then learning how to look sun-kissed in a flash is a must. There are easy ways to feel your best no matter if you have an ivory, light brown or darker complexion.
Take your time with toner
Toner should be a girl's best friend, but some ladies don't even know the first thing about this important beauty product. According to Discovery Health, traditional toners are made up of moisturizers, oils and extracts that help sooth and tighten your skin when you use it.
To get the most out of this product, it's best to use it in the morning. First wash your face with your go-to cleanser like the Elemis Rosepetal Cleanser and then use a soft and clean towel to dry it off. Next, grab the toner and a few cotton balls and start to apply the product on your T-Zone - your forehead, nose and chin. Move on to your cheeks and jaw line to keep oil slicks at bay all day.
The experts at Glamour magazine add toners can also help balance out your skin's pH level, working to shrink pores and keep breakouts away.
Make a point to exercise
Whether you regularly hit up the gym or try to do a few lunges throughout the day, exercise is key in keeping healthy skin. According to Glamour, easy 10-minute workout breaks throughout the day effectively get your heart pumping, giving you a gorgeous healthy glow in a flash.
You can ensure you break a sweat a few times at the office by opting to take the stairs once or twice or even the long way to the bathroom.
Kick it up a notch with cucumbers
The old adage, you are what you eat, certainly rings true when it comes to how glowing or dull your complexion will look. Because of this, the fashion and beauty experts recommend ladies start to indulge in more cucumbers as the warmer months roll in.
This ultra fresh vegetable packs quite the healthy punch since it contains vitamin C and caffeic acid. Both are antioxidants that can help keep free radicals at bay, why also boosting collagen and elastin, which protects your complexion from issues like eye wrinkles or sunken cheeks with age.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - Just in time for Memorial Day, the U.S. Small Business Administration Tuesday began a lending program that will involve 20 of the country's largest banking institutions. Wells Fargo ( WFC), JPMorgan Chase ( JPM), U.S. Bancorp ( USB), TD Bank ( TD) head the list. The aim is to increase lending to military veterans by 5% per year over the next five years. Veterans looking to start a business following deployment face special challenges in raising capital, particularly as the recession has tightened borrowing through conventional bank loans. The SBA in conjunction with its lending partners -- which includes 100 additional regional and community lenders -- expects to assist an additional 2,000 veterans on top of its current workload with $475 million of capital to start or expand small businesses. Also see: From Battlefield to the Business World -- Veterans Make It on Their Own Veterans are more likely than those with no active-duty military experience to be self-employed. Approximately 2.4 million, or 9%, of small businesses are veteran-owned, according to the SBA. That number is expected to rise dramatically as more than 1 million veterans are expected to transition out of military service by 2015, the International Franchise Association has previously said. The SBA has backed more than 3,200 loans to veterans worth more than $1.25 billion, as of Sept. 30, 2012, according to the Associated Press. An SBA spokesperson was not immediately available to confirm the number. SBA Administrator Karen Mills announced the initiative on Tuesday at Fort Bragg, N.C. "Through this partnership with national lending partners and regional and community lenders across the U.S., we stand ready to serve veteran entrepreneurs with loan-guarantees, entrepreneurial training and resources that are critical tools to help them start businesses, drive the local economy and create jobs for themselves and their communities," Mills said. Also see: Rogers: My First Day As a Military Embed Through the SBA's Office of Veterans Business Development, veteran-owned small businesses can get financing assistance, business training and mentoring as well as assistance with federal procurement programs. The lending initiative is a part of the SBA's recently launched Operation Boots to Business: From Service to Startup initiative, in which it partnered with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the U.S. Department of Defense to develop a national entrepreneurship training program to help veterans transition back into civilian life.

The South by Southwest (SXSW) Conferences & Festivals website (sxsw.com) announces that Robert Rodriguez and director Nimród Antal will present a first look at their upcoming motion picture PREDATORS at SXSW on March 12, 2010.
A bold new chapter in the Predator universe, PREDATORS was shot on location at Rodriguez's Austin-based Troublemaker Studios, and is directed by Nimród Antal. The film stars Adrien Brody as Royce, a mercenary who reluctantly leads a group of elite warriors who come to realize they've been brought together on an alien planet... as prey. In addition to Adrien Brody, the film stars Topher Grace, Alice Braga, and Laurence Fishburne.
This is potentially good news for fans eager to see NECA's upcoming PREDATORS action figures. The collectibles are currently under wraps due to the film's secrecy. According to NECA's Twitter feed, the company hopes they can show some images of the figures soon after the SXSW show. Fingers crossed.

Last edited by Darren35; 11-30-2012 at 08:19 PM. Reason: Way too disrespectful on second thought
Trader Joe: I appreciate your point of view and I dont disagree with anything in your post. I got pretty vocal with some Bulls fans when they invaded the fieldhouse a couple of years ago (playoffs). I would have apologized to them the next day if I saw them. I am just providing a general consensus on what I heard. Hell, there are two sides to every single story.
My posting in this thread was to provide a different perspective- thats all brother.
Your last statement, if I am to believe my friend, is 100% accurate. I think they should play in Indy and Louisville, but that's just so I can get tickets a little easier.
I never said that, 86.
I'm sure it's nothing new for UK players nor UK fans. Using it as criticism for one school, when it happens probably at a majority, is weak. I'm sure UK players and UK fans have a set of big boy pants. Time to put them on.
When we started playing at Rupp/Assembly, it just became another game that was played on campus. We play enough of those. Playing in Indy gave the people in the largest city in the state (which probably has more IU alumni than anywhere else) a better opportunity to get tickets.
We should have just taken Cal's offer to play two games in Indy. That seems more than fair to me. It's better than not playing the game. We got so caught up in trying to win some stupid war with Calipari that we lost sight of what was really important.
Cal offered us two games in Indy, didn't he? We deserve just as much blame as he does.
We were the ones who kept pestering Calipari about doing the game. We clearly wanted it more. When you want something more than the party you are negotiating with, sometimes you have to be willing to give in a little. And it's not like Cal was demanding two games in Louisville. He was being plenty fair, but IU fans can't see past that because of their extreme hatred for Cal.
Our offer was a four year deal with two games in Indy and one at each team's campus. So did we really walk off in a huff because we missed out on one game at AH in a four year span? I may not have experience in negotiations, but I would hope that I wouldn't be that stubborn.
Yay, we stood up to that a-hole Calipari! Our victory is that we have no game to play at all. We sure stuck it to him, didn't we? Is there a banner we can hang in Assembly Hall that will show that we stood up to Calipari in the summer of 2012?
The choice this year was:
1) Play in Indy and kick the crap out of UK with our #1 team on national TV in front of a crowd of 70K (or whatever it is), half of them UK fans, or....
2) Stand up to Cal and not play the game at all.
I'd go choice 1.
Oh well, silly little egotistical wars like the one waged between Cal and Crean is why I'll never like college as much as the pros. At least egos can't stop a game from being played in the pros.

#21 Indiana stuck it to #1 Kentucky in Dec 1993.
The Watford shot wouldn't have been any less awesome if it was in Lucas Oil. It would have been hilarious to see the shock on the thousands of UK fans' faces.
Misinterpreted what you said. Sorry.
Here's the thing it's stupid, but IU's offer of two games at Lucas and then two on campus already was a concession. Yes, both sides **** the bed a little bit, but at some point you have to stop making concessions. Call up Cal next year when he's likely got Wiggins and that crazy recruiting class combined with some of the guys from this year as sophomores and I bet he would play IU at Rupp in two seconds.
I didn't say Watford would make the shot at Lucas. I'm just saying the game wouldn't have been any less special if he would have.
As to the rest of what you said: Is standing up to him better than not playing the game at all? That's how I read what you're saying. It's Indianapolis, not Anartica. How is standing up to Cal and proving a point better than taking your number 1 team to your own state capital and largest city and kicking the crap out of them there?
If Cal were demanding two games in Louisville, then I'd agree with you. But he was offering them in Indy.
Maybe I'm just bitter because I remember IU-UK games from early childhood to last winter. I grew up in Southern Indiana near Louisville, where there also a lot of UK fans. I just want to see the game and I really don't care where it's played. I admit that the on campus setup was neat, but the Indy setup was cool too and I'd much rather have that than not play the game at all.

You say this as if it is some sort of advantage for IU. Calipari never cared about the games in Louisville--he cared about the ones in Indy. He knows UK fans travel well and always show up at those games, and it is a chance for him to sell that game to recruits in the Indy area. "Guys, you will play in your hometown in a marquee game each year." That was not a concession in any way, shape, or form.If Cal were demanding two games in Louisville, then I'd agree with you. But he was offering them in Indy.
The only difference is that there would have also been tens of thousands of disgusted UK fans with their hands over their face in disbelief.
I wonder where these high powered boosters were when UK fans were flipping and vandalizing cars and burning couches in the street. (For the record, I heard the same thing about the UK boosters being butthurt on one of the 1070 shows earlier this week, Grady and Joe I think)
Hmm... no wonder Calipari wants to play so many neutral sites....
In conclusion, I don't care how much moolah these panty waisted boosters are putting into college athletic programs. Screw em!

I understand and respect that you think it was better at AH. It was clearly an awesome atmosphere. I'm just saying that a buzzer shot at Lucas is still something that would have forever lived in IU lore.
EDIT: My point is simply that playing it at Indy is superior to not playing it at all. Winning a war with Cal means nothing to me.

Speaking of Kentucky, this Baylor/UK game is awful. Both teams are brimming with talent and length, but man they are making stupid mistakes left and right. Kentucky's ranking is based off name alone. This is not a top 10 team, and I don't think they will be at season's end--point guard play is going to kill them this year.

ZeroConfig should work and for a fallback you can enter the afp url directly, the format is
afp://[[user[:[email protected]]]server[/share[/path[/file]]]] .
Needless to say, there might be issues and that's what this thread is all about. We want GOOD feedback regarding the new AFPClient. If you have issues and do not include xbmc.log and detailed info about your setup... you will get ignored
Known issues:
1) The first connect might fail (spinning wheel is spinning for more then 30 secs). In that case abort the connect by pressing "Menu" on the remote and try again. It works after a couple of trys. If its connected once - everything else should work.
2) On a Mac, you need to enable AFP sharing in System Preferences > File Sharing > Options.
3) AFP paths are case sensitive. If you're editing sources.xml directly (not browsing for the path) make sure to pay attention to case. SMB paths are not case sensitive. E.g. afp://192.168.1.7/MyVideos/ and afp://192.168.1.7/MYVIDEOS/ are two different paths under AFP.
4. AFP is generally stable but may crash in a few situations. Unfortunately the upstream developer of the AFP library is no longer around so it's orphaned for now, i.e. no one to do bug fixes... for now. If it crashes for you, probably best to try WebDAV or FTP.
Just wanted to point to this:
When using MacOSX and trying to share via AFP only HFS+ formatted drives are shared. There is no warning / nor an error message - it simply doesn't show up that shares then. This is the issue some users already have seen when trying to share FAT32 drives on lion via AFP.

THREE men have been jailed after a man was viciously attacked and repeatedly hit with a shovel in Stourbridge town centre.
Ryan Claridge, of Barnett Lane, Kingswinford, Benjamin Payne, of Chapel Street, Brierley Hill, and Mark Flavell, of Albert Street, Pensnett, carried out a sustained assault on Robert Rolls, Wolverhampton Crown Court was told.
Mr Rolls, who suffered a brain injury seven years ago, was left unconscious on the pavement after the attack but "mercifully" his injuries were not too serious, said Lisa Hancox, prosecuting.
She added the victim had to have a cut on his arm stitched after being left battered and bruised.
It was accepted by the prosecution that Mr Rolls had been aggressive himself - tearing plants from a town centre display and cracking the windscreen on Flavell's van with a punch, in an earlier incident.
Miss Hancox said Claridge, aged 21, and Payne, aged 20, kicked out a number of times at the vulnerable Mr Rolls after there had been a slight scuffle between the men on Hagley Road.
She said Flavell then pulled up in his van and got out armed with the shovel.
Flavell, aged 44, then struck Mr Rolls about the head with the weapon, which was then passed by Payne to Claridge who also hit the victim a number of times with the shovel to the head area, added Miss Hancox.
Judge Amjad Nawaz told the three defendants it was only "good fortune" that the injuries suffered by Mr Rolls had not been severe as he stressed they had all "lost self control."
He added, "Members of the public who see this sort of behaviour in the street would be perturbed if sentences of immediate custody did not follow."
The judge said it was clear Claridge and Payne had been the worse for drink before they came across Mr Rolls, who had been aggressive and had punched one of the two men on the nose.
"You could have gone your own way but you did not and violence followed," he added.
"There was an element of goading before Mr Rolls was knocked to the ground before he was the target of a number of running kicks."
He told Flavell: "There was absolutely no need for you to have got out of your van but you did so and you elevated the incident because you used the shovel."
All three men admitted attempting to inflict grievous bodily harm.
The judge sent Payne to a Young Offenders Institution for 38 months because he did not admit his part in the attack until just before his trial was set to begin.
Flavell was sent to prison for three years while Claridge was put behind bars for two-and-a-half years with barristers for all three defendants maintaining to the court they were full of remorse and totally ashamed of their actions.

The Orlando Magic were built around two cornerstones – Dwight Howard and Jameer Nelson. The latter was largely disregarded as the Howard free agency saga played out, with the big man eventually landing with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Howard no doubt had a tough year, but Nelson is set to endure a 2012-13 season that could be just as bumpy. The Magic overhauled the entire front office – a decision Nelson did not support – including GM Otis Smith and coach Stan Van Gundy. The team also added a number of new players and rookies the point guard will have to create chemistry with.
Through it all, Nelson remained silent. He recently spoke to WYGM in Orlando about his feelings on front office changes, Howard's decision to join the Lakers and how his role will change due to an influx of young players.
First off: Nelson divulged his true feelings about the firing of coach Stan Van Gundy and general manager Otis Smith.
"I've never said this publicly, but no, I wasn't in favor of it, but I understand it's a business," Nelson said. "I had talks with Otis and Stan prior to the situation and after, so that tells you my relationship with those guys."
Even as all he'd grown accustomed to changed, Nelson never considered leaving the Magic.
"The thing I had to think about was, what's my business going to be and where do I want to have my business?" Nelson said. "And I wouldn't want to have it anywhere else but Orlando. I love the fans and the fans love me."
Although he decided to stay with the Orlando Magic, Nelson didn't judge Howard for leaving after his tumultuous 2011-12 season. Howard's discontent was tied to winning, but he also sought out the opportunity to play with Brooklyn Nets point guard Deron Williams. That fact didn't appear to bother Nelson.
"He wanted a change and that's what he got," Nelson said. "My job, for Dwight and to Dwight, is to be a friend. I told him I was happy for him. I was happy for him to be able to move on with his career and I wished him best of luck and hoped he got his recovery and his rehab and everything went well."
Not many holdovers remain in Orlando, outside of Nelson, Hedo Turkoglu, Glen Davis, J.J. Redick and Quentin Richardson. Incoming talent includes Arron Afflalo, Al Harrington and Josh McRoberts.
The remainder of the Magic roster is made of either unproven or inexperienced players. Second-year player Justin Harper and rookies Moe Harkless and Kyle O'Quinn are expected to contribute, and Nelson is enthused about the addition of young talent.
"We have a lot of young guys, but those young guys have a lot of potential and play with a lot of energy," Nelson said. "We haven't been in a real-game situation, but just playing pickup, you see the potential that they have and the potential that this team has."

ONEIDA -- Oneida's boys volleyball team took a quick 2-0 lead over Living Word Academy before the Lions rallied to tie the game at 2-2. Oneida regained momentum and took the final game for a 25-21, 25-18, 22-25, 22-25, 28-26 victory Thursday. Tyler Colvin had 57 assists for coach Rik Ano's squad in the victory.
"Great match played by both teams," said Ano. "There was a lot of good defense played by both sides. Jessie (Morrison) and Tyler (Colvin) were steady as usual and Derek Connelly really stepped up his aggressiveness on defense."
Daniel Mead had 53 assists for LWA in the loss.
LWA (2-3): Robert Decker 14k, 1b; Jonah Geremia 1ac, 12k, 1b; Bryan Gilbert 1ac; Justin Labounty 18d; Jesse Mazur 3k, 2b, 3d; Daniel Mead 1ac, 53as; Sean Meyer 11k, 2b, 1d; Forrest Thompson 15k, 7b, 1d.

The HC 400 horizontal machining center from Doosan is a compact, heavy-duty machine designed for OEMs and job shops. Featuring a Meehanite cast iron bed, linear roller guideway and inline spindle, the high-precision machine is capable of making heavy cuts on tough materials, the company says.
X-, Y- and Z-axis travels measure 23.62" × 22.05" × 22.24". Maximum cutting feed rate is 787 ipm with rapid traverse rates ranging to 1,574 ipm. Axes are driven by high-precision double-nut ballscrews supported on both ends by angular thrust bearings. The double-pretension design is said to improve positioning repeatability. The HMC's 35-hp, 10,000-rpm inline spindle is designed for high stock removal and deep drilling operations. Through-spindle coolant and an oil-cooled spindle chiller help to maintain a constant temperature at high speeds, reducing thermal growth and increasing cutting accuracy. The cam-type, swing-arm automatic toolchanger accommodates 60 tools and is said to provide 4-sec. chip-to-chip times.
The machining center's telescopic cover inclined at a 30-degree angle directs chips into a trough to keep the area around the table clean, while high-velocity air jets clear chips while pallets are being changed. An automatic pallet changer with twin tapped pallets helps to minimize set-up time and increase productivity. Each pallet measures 15.7" × 15.7" and can handle a maximum load of 882 lbs. The FANUC 32i-A control features a 90-degree swiveling operator console for improved ergonomics. The handheld manual pulse generator with 10-ft. cord enables full access to the machine and controls access movement in increments of 1, 10 or 100 for easy fixture or workpiece alignment.

Is your kid a reluctant learner?
Find out how to get your kid excited about being back at school. more
Depending on your cultural background, you, your partner, or the combination of you together, could mean that there genetic testing is a sensible precaution.
Speak to your doctor if you have any concerns and you may be advised to seek further genetic health counseling.
Genetic testing can identify a number of disorders, including:
Screening to identify carriers of haemoglobinopathies. Haemoglobinopathies are a group of inherited disorders affecting haemoglobin and include the thalassaemias. They can be found in the following populations:
It is recommended that this testing be done prior to pregnancy, if possible.
The most severe form of thalassaemia, which cannot be treated, results in a child dying in utero or immediately after birth, and may also put the health of the mother at risk during the pregnancy. Without proper testing, carriers of thalassaemia are healthy and are often unaware they carry a gene change. It is usually when two carriers conceive a child, and the gene change is inherited from both parents that the child will be affected by the condition. For more information visit www.genetichealthvic.net.au/thalassaemia.
Genetic testing is also recommended for anyone with concerns about cystic fibrosis - inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. For a child to be born with CF both parents must be genetic carriers for CF. They do not have CF themselves. For more information visit www.cysticfibrosis.org.au
For people of Jewish origin, screening can prevent Tay-Sachs Disease - an incurable, inherited genetic disorder of the central nervous system.that is 100 times more common among Jewish people of Eastern European ancestry (Ashkenazi) than the general community. About 1 in 28 Ashkenazi Jews are carriers of Tay Sachs disease. Carriers of Tay Sachs disease are healthy. For more information visit www.taysachs.net.

ROBBIE Elliott was in the dark over his Wanderers future as he headed the club into the quarter-finals of the Worthington Cup back in 1999.
Transfer-listed by former boss Colin Todd as a cost-cutting measure, the Geordie defender had been out of action under his successor Sam Allardyce because of a double hernia until his appearance at the Reebok as a second-half substitute.
"I haven't spoken with the manager about my position while I've been injured," he explained after the game.
"I hope to see him in the next few days but I think his hands may be tied. I'll just have to wait and see."
Jussi Jaaskelainen saved a penalty from Dutch midfielder Wim Jonk to ensure safe passage to the last eight and a home tie with Wimbledon.
"The victory was fantastic," Allardyce said after seeing Robbie Elliott head the 53rd minute winner in a surprise return to the side as a half-time substitute for Bergsson. Allardyce's side reached the semi-finals of both cup contests – losing to Aston Villa and Tranmere Rovers respectively.

This lithograph of Super Bowl III from 1969, signed by Joe Namath to my Fiance' in 1991 was signed at a Conair promotion signing at a mall in Atlanta.
The lithograph was given to my Fiance' by his father who supplied the ink for this piece. It remained in on his wall as a little boy and he put it away for safe keeping until 1991 when he brought it to the mall for Joe Namath to sign.
The artist of the litho is Gary Thomas and is still creating amazing lithographs of all types. The last picture shows the credit to Mr. Thomas and type of machine that was used to print the lithogram. It is also signed by Mr. Thomas, seen on the bottom right near Joe's right foot.
We are very curious to know if anyone has ever seen one of these prints. . . I have looked high and low on the internet with no success. I know that with a PERSONALIZED signature that seems to be more desirable . . . and a sweet story to go with it. The condition, well, it isn't the best. Pin holes in the corners where it hung on a little boys bedroom wall, and creases where it was stored for 20 some odd years. . . Does anyone have any idea of the value?
Thanks for any input! Will keep bringing goodies I find that have been handed down. . . I love this site! :) HAPPY COLLECTING!

The produce industry is submitting comments to the Food and Drug Administration about Food Safety Modernization Act rulemaking.
The FDA is accepting written comments until May 16.
In March, the United Fresh Produce Association, Washington, D.C., requested comments from its leader members who served on the group's leadership and councils about the FSMA.
David Gombas, United Fresh's senior vice president of food safety and technology, said the organization received comments from a wide spectrum of growers of row crops, bush crops and tree crops, and from packinghouses, retailers, foodservice buyers and scientists.
Though the association and its members plan to submit comments individually and as a group, Gombas said the industry needs to see all five rules in the FDA's suite of interlocking regulations.
So far, the FDA has only released the produce and preventive controls rules. The others — the foreign supplier verification, animal preventive controls and third-party accreditation — remain at the Office of Management and Budget, Gombas said.
"Generally speaking, we think the FDA did (as good of a) job as it could on the first round," Gombas said, speaking of the FSMA's proposed rules.
"It's very clear they spent a lot of time thinking through this and how to meet the statutory requirements in a way that would be enforceable on farms. They took a light hand approach on some things like animals and recordkeeping and a heavier hand with water and compost."
Jim Gorny, senior adviser for produce safety at the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, Washington, D.C., said many are submitting detailed questions involving their operations.
The comments assist the agency in developing the companion documents and help industry understand what is and isn't in compliance, he said.
"The FDA hasn't taken a one-size-fits-all approach to produce in the Food Safety Modernization Act," Gorny said. "We've taken on all the key routes of contamination that are known. People are still digesting what the FDA has released and are trying to understand the proposed rule's implications for their business.
"No one's saying we've missed the mark. We're getting detailed questions to the nitty-gritty. That doesn't mean we haven't considered it and we've asked a lot of questions. We acknowledge that we don't have all the answers inside the Beltway. We want to make sure the rules are workable, practical and (push) the ball forward on food safety."
Areas of concern to the produce industry include definitions of farms and facilities, Gombas said.
Loophole for small growers?
The proposed rules require a Web seminar to explain the large and complicated zone between a farm and a facility, Gombas said. He said United Fresh wants the FDA to simplify who is required to follow the produce safety rules and the preventive controls rules.
Because scientists haven't developed accurate E. coli testing procedures, Gombas said the FDA needs to place scientific details into accompanying guidance documents instead of in the rules.
Saying pathogens don't know what size of farms they're attacking, Gombas said United Fresh still contends it's inappropriate to exempt operations simply because of size.
As only 15 or 20 of the more than 300 produce commodities have ever suffered an outbreak, United Fresh notes the proposed rules fail to address fruits and vegetables that haven't been involved in recalls.
Because scientists don't know why they haven't been involved in illnesses isn't a reason to assume they could be, as FDA now assumes, Gombas said.
Walter Ram, vice president of food safety for The Giumarra Cos., Los Angeles, said fresh produce has largely been exempt from regulation until FSMA but the act's produce safety rule will represent much of that regulation.
"I think the FSMA overall will be good for the industry as long as the regulations reflect real-world situations," Ram said.
"Our industry has already had some influence on pending regulations with the current commodity-specific food safety guidelines, including those for tomatoes, cantaloupes and leafy greens.
"The FDA got a lot right with the produce safety rule but there are still a lot of details that we are working on with them. They are being very open in talking to the industry and they are certainly listening."
Gorny commends the industry for its safety research programs and cites industry collaboration in funding the University of California-Davis's Center for Produce Safety's research.
He said groups as diverse as leafy greens growers, the National Mango Board, the California Melon Research Board and the California and Washington departments of agriculture are involved.
Gorny lauded organizations including the California Citrus Quality Council, the National Watermelon Association and the California Strawberry Commission for developing national guidance documents.
He said the FDA's Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance and Sprout Safety Alliance should help grower-shippers and processors better prepare for safety practices.

It's hard to find time to learn new skills. We're all busy, and as much as we might want to become more proficient at something, we seldom have the extra time required to learn. That's one of the reasons I'm excited about the new video series Excel Skills Builder.
In a nutshell, the skills builder is a video series that comprises short (typically under 5 minutes each) videos that give you an overview of a task or feature in Excel. The videos are grouped so that you can build on the basics and move from the simple to the more complex. It's a great way to learn about new features and tasks in Excel. And you can even track your progress through each lesson. If you come back later to finish the lesson, you know where you stopped. In the example below, I've watched all the videos, so a check mark appears for each video, and my Learning Progress bar is full. Very handy.
Lesson 1: Moving from lists to tables is currently available. It includes the following topics:
- Create a workbook
- Customize a worksheet
- Enter and edit data
- Format data
- Apply math and formulas
- Sort and filter data
- Create and use tables
At the end of each video, you'll get links to more information on the task, so you can dig deeper if you have the time or inclination.
We're working on creating the rest of the lessons in the series. These will cover visual analysis, collaboration and sharing, and automation, macros, and reporting.
So be sure to check out Lesson 1, and let us know what you think (post your comments here on the blog). We'd love your feedback and ideas for future video content.

Johnston Road and Queen's Road East ( which are just few minutes away from the place) are the two major streets in the area, but the streets and little alleys in between are by far the most intriguing. Export clothing shops line the streets of Johnston Road and Luard Road and are by far, some of the best values in Hong Kong. Be prepared to dig your way through piles of pants, shirts, skirts, dresses and baby clothes. Spring Garden Lane and Wanchai Road also are must sees in the area and will give you the chance to see where many of the locals shop for vegetables, fruit and household items.

A last minute change of the contact telephonenumber, caused to some difficulties to get access to the appartement. After I arrived in Hon Kong - I tried to get in contact with Wendy at the phonenumber that I was given after booking - but without any luck. I had to go to the nearest bar to get free WiFi - and then I found out that Wendy had sent me a new contact number - to her caretaker for the appartment. This was not a very good start after a 17 hrs. airtravel. Please take notice of this Wndy for future guests. Having said that, the room was OK and the standard was to my requirements. Great service by caretaker Asia. Helge - Norway
Stayed for 12 nights, room is exactly as listed, clean good bed/shower/toilet what more do you want. Did not meet Wendy but Yani was pleasant and friendly.
I have stayed in other apartments in this building before and recommend its location.
Only thing I would like changed is the room use's keys which you have to take everywhere with you where a combination lock would remove the worry of coming back at 4am with a skin full and find you lost your keys haha
The place is pretty decent, good for a short stay around popular places over Hong Kong! I've got my room cleaned on a daily base, the price is good as well! Wendy is nice! xxx
Great location. The internet is a bit temperamental and the water to the toilet was shut off for 4 days during my stay which was inconvenient. I never met Wendy but Yani her staff member was lovely, friendly and helpful. Towels and bedding could been changed more frequently.
Hello. I had a disapponting experience.
I booked 9 nights room 13d4 with two months advance. When i arrived the cleaning girl told me that my room had a problem in the water heating. They moved me to room 4c. Much older, dirty, noisy room. No towels, bed sheets not changed, tv did not work, the table broken. After 5 nights they changed me to room 4g. The room was better but it had cockroaches. (not one. a few)
7 days later they repared room 13d4 and i was there two nights.
This room is fine, worth its price. Clean and silent. Wendy returned me 60% of one night price for the inconvenience.

Team to Row for Western Mass. Food Bank
crew team members will defy the cold for a good cause on
Friday, March 4, as they strengthen their skills on rowing
machines outside throughout the day to raise money for
a local charity.
Rowers will occupy the machines
from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Chapin Lawn in front of the Campus
Center as part of this year's annual Ergathon, a crew
team campaign to raise funds for their spring training costs
and collect contributions for charity. Proceeds raised during
their day of rowing will go to the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts,
a nonprofit organizztion based in Hadley that provides serves
and food to more than 100,000 people.
The team hopes to raise more
than $1,000 in donations, said Karen Klinger '87, head
crew coach and a former Smith crew team member. "We
welcome the community to donate, to come by and learn to
use the machines, or to just cheer the group on."
Last year's Ergathon raised
$1,000. The team hopes to easily surpass that total this
year. Team rowers will be on hand to collect donations throughout
the day.
Other past recipients of Ergathon
fundraisers have included Habitat for Humanity, Safe Passage,
and local homeless shelters.
The crew team also raises funds
for its spring training trips through a letter campaign during
the Ergathon.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Now with 20% more ninjas!
July, 5th 2013 • Issue 188 • A rag you can surely use for a clean-up of your own!
The Great Party is close
The entries for the prestigious 2013 Poo Lit Surprise Awards (PLS) have required an extra order of candles and writing paper for the judges this year. Entries from Uncyclopedia's veteran contributor Modusoperandi, Shabidoo (the dancing banana of 2010), the repentant Sinner George and the avian Flyingbird were up against this year's crop of promising arrivals. Anton199 from Russia with the love of Uncyclopedia, the self-proclaimer ScottPat, and the ordained proofreader the Reverend P. Pennyfeather. Anton was so eager to take part that he also qualified in the Noob category, where his opponent for an award is the gender-neutral Uncycloperson. Two awards can already be sent out, as ScottPat and Anton199 will have to find room on their shelves for the Best Rewrite and Best Collaboration awards. Though they had no competition, they are winners all the way. Your awards will be delivered by chauffeur on the day the other winners are announced.
All this preamble, therefore, is a warning that the judges - Romartus (from 'some way south of London Bridge') and PuppyOnTheRadio - have yet to declare the winners. In the interests of transparency, the decisions will be announced this weekend (6th-7th July) and will explain how they chose the winners. All will be transparent, above-board, and above-lodging, as the hoped-for bribes did not materialise this year - perhaps a first for Poo Lit. So look out for the results, and for those who have made their holiday plans - well, cancel them!

Our last UnSignpost announced that the Chief Justice graced us with what one wag called "an hysteric return" (though writing about something else entirely), as well as, from our best reading of the "mainstream" press, suddenly being given full charge of the country of Egypt in place of the Muslim Brotherhood (pictured).
If that were not a tall enough order, the Chief has announced a big British clean-up, an effort not only to expand articles beyond the theme that every British town is full of chavs, drunks, and foreigners with turbans, but to propose a regional forest fire of bad articles that will run circles around the sluggish Votes for Deletion process. Unfortunately, the only ones not already in the know were, by virtue of living in Russia or the States, inherently unqualified to assist.
Among Uncyclopedians who actually know something about Britain, Magicrainbowunicorn is resting on his/her/its laurels with Reading, England, the last such article that we slapped on the main page, whereas Dorisdoom had been making progress with Leicester until suddenly discovering she was not alone on the wiki, which spelled Doris's, er, doom. However, as most such swan songs are not sung so as not to be heard, we can hope that both budding new Uncyclopedians will some day see beyond the chance well-intentioned revert and take their places among the greats.
But a more prolific editor has stepped up to the Chief's call. This user, whose various user names all have something to do with killing Britons until we permaban them, had the hilarious concept that all our articles on the United Kingdom be replaced by a single manifesto on how Brits are Satanic progeny, while at the same time being spawned, and also totally gay. Not only is a comedy theme that would span an entire department of Uncyclopedia the most ambitious initiative since Oscar Wilde, this user's single-mindedness and total predictability have prompted innovations in the field of Abuse Filters to ban him without annoying a human being. And, in much less time than it takes him to figure out what portion of his manifesto we are pattern-matching, we can change it.
Our previous little helper has not been stopped but has seen the reward for his efforts eliminated by something that Wikia daintily refers to as "throttling," which is the tidiest euphemism for targeted, total ruin ever devised outside the U.S. Federal Reserve.

Time for the weekly resolution update. Due to a stunningly large number of negative factors, I did not go to 12th Fight on Saturday as I had planned, nor did I make any of the practices following. The score is Wolfger 0, Weeks-Passed 2.
