Grecian Tragedy Formula, Bailout Number 3
The word ???????? (tragoidia), from which the word "tragedy" is derived, is a portmanteau of two Greek words: ?????? (tragos) or "goat" and ??? (ode) meaning "song", from ??????? (aeidein), "to sing". This etymology indicates a link with the practices of the ancient Dionysian cults. It is difficult to know with certainty how these fertility rituals became the basis for tragedy and comedy, but an empirical overview of what the Greek government is proposing it is capable of achieving from fiscal standpoint in a short period of time would be borderline laughable if it didn't portend such serious consequences. Alas, since the vast majority of pundits seem to have actually failed to
read what the Greek government has issued as a supposed solution to the its crisis, this fiscal plan, apparently laid out as comedy, has a more than material chance of achieving a tragic end.
Yesterday, I demonstrated that the sustainability of various proposed Greek bailouts is tantamount to abject non-sense by supplying the tools for subscribers to calculate their own Greek haircut effects, see The Ugly Truth About The Greek Situation That'sToo Difficult Broadcast Through Mainstream Media. Today I will demonstrate that the incessant lies laid forth virtually guarantee a crash landing. Sourced from ZeroHedge, below is page 4 of the Greek debt sustainability proposal floating around EU policy member corridors aimed at determining the likelihood of the success of a 3rd Greek bailout - Tragic Comedy, indeed...

There is so much to comment on, I can literally get lost in the diatribe, so let's try to keep it short and focus on how the Greek privasitation plans are working out thus far by referencing a document that gave to my subscribers TWO YEARS AGO!!! Reference Greece Public Finances Projections, pages 5 and 6.
'Nuff said. In case I haven't made it clear, I believe Greece's implosion is a foregone conclusion. What the media should be focusing on is the knock-on effects to Portugal, Spain, Italy and Ireland, and the resultant contagion that is sure to affect France and Germany. My next post on this topic will outline the contagion research that we have conducted. Stay tuned!

Paper debt can never be repaid with paper, it's against the laws of physics. It can, however, be repaid by losing your land/homes. The bankerpoliticians and their thugs know this
After months of endless negotiations it took Greece only 24 hours to increase its budget deficit forecast for 2012 from 5.4% to 6.7%. All yesterdays papers are spoilage.
Why am I in no way not surprised?

Thank you, thank you very much. We will be playing in the lounge all week - don't forget to tip on the way out, and here's a tip for you - Don't chase parked cars.
The blame is on ONE FORMULA alone...
The Black-Scholes equation.
and dont pay the ferryman
This article by IAN STEWART should be published in every business school and law school for the decades to come. In fact it should be nailed to the doors of EVERY TBTF BANKSTA INSTITUTION WORLD WIDE...AND TO EVERY ELECTIVE BODY IN WESTERN WORLD; FOR THEM TO CONTEMPLATE THE THEORETICAL ROOTS OF THEIR COLLECTIVE FOLLY!
These venerable professors, Black and Scholes, even got a Nobel Prize for it; a bit like Dr K and his new disciple O'bammy.
Dynamite Nobel! He lives upto his own invention TNT, in his prized legacy!
Black-Scholes was just part of the con the snake oil investment banks used to sell customers on the idea of throwing their money in Black Holes. Peole who don't know math (and even those who do but never learned tp think for themselves) are impressed by equations like B-S.
Before the money swirls down into the Black Hole, the con men take their cut. Then they re-package the empty space and give it a fancy name that includes "collateralized" or "swap", and unload the liability while taking another cut of actual cash on the way out.
Black and Scholes also made out okay on consulting fees, I'm sure.
I'll check it out, I also believe Greece is doomed.
Its not Greece, that is just the horse shoe; the battle is about first world capitalism, runaway financialisation. Its a killer. Financial fascism is not compatible with democracy and republic. We have to choose as a continent, as a world community of first world nations.
Reggie. Greece. How long's it got?

Go back to the beefcake spear picture - at least that was both entertaining, and to the point. Distill all this vomit into a coherent concise ass whapping piece of journalism and you will have a following. Just backing up the information dump truck of trash and dropping it on to a blog posting is so ninties there Reggie.
Round 3 of the White Zombie Devil Man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvGrJVdCf64&feature=related...LMAO, Reggie, you have gone deep enough to hear the goat song, that was not diffiCULT. You know who the Piper is my friend. What you are having diffiCULTy with is that fact.
Who rides the Lion of Babylon
(goto 08:00 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06gsgZUe32s&feature=related)
...and dares to look back at Sodom with admiration and desire? LMAO
Hmm, maybe it's time to mention something I saw in a dream, which is now rising and coming to pass. Long story short, pun intended LOL,
...as the pillar of fire came toward the people who were not moved by the warning call I was charged with, or the destructive storm that had risen before it became this pillar of fire now about to overwhelm their lives, I realized (heard the goat song LMAO) that any false move on my part, as I now stood among the people I have tried to warn (kinda like you Reggie), I would perish. At that point in the dream I was so inspired to move (divest from the black hole) it woke me up from the dream. This was no ordinary dream, this dream is a prophetic revelation.
Reggie, I make my best efforts to wade through your work, I think is really valuable. But with poor formatting, graphs are difficult to read are not enlargeable, plus too many cross references, and not knowing the chronological order of some artilces, makes it a task. I'm sure you would get more readers and signups if the presentation was better.
Most of your issues would be solved if you went to the original article. The formatting on the articles is fine, but when I cross post the content to ZH, incompatibilities can show up. If there graphical issues or formatting problems, simply refer to the original article on BoomBustBlog.com and you will find they don't exist there.
Since this content is being provided free of charge, there is not funding source to reformat the articles. Hopefully, this is easily understood.
the way they keep bailing out the peripheries you start to get a clear picture that when it all goes it will be a simeltaneous USA and Europe default. Centrall planning directing us toward one world currency.
GOLD Bitchez!
My call is planned bank holiday & default Dec 26th 2012.

Willem ("Hans") Humes of Greylock Capital, was on bloomberg this AM discussing the Greek deal. He stated this was a bad deal for private investors such as greylock because of the huge losses involved but it it was the best deal under the circumstances. I wonder who at Greylock and other private investors made the decision to lend money to Greece by buying their bonds. At some time in the past , who raised his or her hand and said " I have a really great idea. Lets buy some Greek debt. I know it seems a little risky but hey it's sovereign debt . How risky can that be. Greece can always raise taxes to pay off the debt. What are the chances that something could go horribly , awfully wrong and we could really lose our shirts? Probably slim and none. On the bright side , those yields look awfully attractive. We could make some real money here. Let's DO THIS. LET'S GO GREEK. OPPA!"
More printing will come soon enough. It is the easy way out for the power-elite and the commoners (although those at the bottom will fail to see their coming destruction through inflation). Party on!
I honestly don't think I have patience to read daily articles about the next 6 countries to default. Wasting too much of my time. When it happens it happens.
"Wasting too much of my time"
Guess you haven't figured out a way to trade it.
I haven't made any $ since prior to 2008. I sent my mort. company a cashiers check for $115k and paid off my house. After that I lost what was left of my trading account due to stupid mistakes and then the massive economic recovery took my $40hr job and left me nothing. I haven't been this broke since high school. No kidding.
also, had a friend in HS in TN, Retus - wouldn't be u?
Unfortunately, we're in the same camp. Hooverville. I'm at 1/3 income of 2006-2007 levels. But I'm only a hand full of years from finishing the race. Mortgage is the only thing left for us (6 more years). But in spite of it all, we're not broke, just badly bent, as the song goes. However; our plan doesn't include the loss of so much equity and if the pensions or Soc Sec gets cut severly, our 6-year plan then becomes a 20 year plan....bummer. Hang in there my friend.
EUR cliff diving and USD moonshot commencing in 3...2...1...
Bottom line RM : How many months, years, before the great splits obliges the Euro Bonanza team to throw in the Greek towel??
C'mon Falak; you must know by now that such predictions imply a belief that economic outcomes are deterministic.
How long will they keep kicking the snowball up the hill, before it gets sufficiently large that it starts rolling backwards and crushes the kickers? Depends on how big and many and willing the kickers are.
BigJim : I was just being facetious! Not to be taken verbatim. Sorry.
In the gloom n doom of ZH bloom, I need to spew my facetiousness; its better than spewing from the other exit, I'm sure you'll agree.
Reggie, without having to wade through all that, i guess you're saying Greece is f*cked? And that politicans have been lying?
Love your work, but could you just add a paragraph that sums it up....I trust your work, just don't have time (or desire) to wade through it all:)
The information provided is just so Last Year. Something containing current analysis would possibly be interesting and worth reading.
what Reggie is saying is even last years research showed Govts had over-valued public asset sales (ie. were cooking the books) and that this years Eurocrat estimates were even worse financial frauds (typical standard lying human scum Govt practice across the globe)
Porsche re-skin models much like Reggie is doing here and there's nothing wrong with that ..if the model still works why fix it eh?
Gee, the Gov't cooking the books, who'd a thought.
They removed mark to market 3 years ago so the "in your face" cooking could be legalised.
$1600 invested in Greek 1 year bonds marked to maturity yields a million bucks. Anybody need to shore up their books?
I think he wants the Reader's Digest version.

Perhaps the MSM is correct in its assumption that most people are (a) lazy, and (b) dumb.
While that is the only thing the MSM is right about. What some of you may be forgetting is that many people read ZeroHedge for the considerable entertainment value. The contributors and commentors are seriously funny bastards. Oh yeah, and informative too.
And don't forget the time crunch. Got a minute to spare? How about a dime?
Or both.

Until now, I shared the following story strictly with my closest friends.
In 1993 I discovered that Billy Dee Williams, one of Hollywood's top leading men in the 1970s (Lady Sings the Blues, Mahogany, Brian's Song, and others) and 1980s (Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back, Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi, and even 1989's Batman) airbrushed, and I thought it would be a great coup to feature his art in Airbrush Action. I called his agent and sure enough (I have to admit that I didn't have much confidence in a positive response), Mr. Williams was not only interested, but I was told he read Airbrush Action! I was truly flattered that an A-lister read the magazine.
A breakfast meeting was arranged for the interview. Present were Joel Cohen, the writer, my best friend Art Beins (I needed a hometown witness for this seemingly historic moment!), Mr. Williams, his assistant, and me. After meeting at his upscale Manhattan hotel, all of us piled into Williams's limo. I felt that we connected immediately, and Billy's focus was directed at me throughout most conversations. As the limo careened across 40-something street, Williams stated, "Clifford, I killed a lot of women on this street." "Really," I replied, not completely understanding what he meant. "That's right," he continued, "I used to have three women a day, every day. I had to have it." "The same three women?" "No. Three different women every day. I had to have it." All of us just sat in silence. . . . . . and awe.
Soon after we were seated, Billy discovered that no alcohol was served before lunch, so we had to uproot and relocate. Even for Manhattan, the happening center of the universe, finding a legal joint that served alcohol in the morning was a challenge.
Billy sat opposite me, and regardless who asked him a question he responded to me. He oredered a Rob Roy cocktail (scotch, sweet vermouth, Angostura bitters, and a cherry); we all did. I've never been a drinker, but I didn't want my very special guest to feel alone here.
Williams is one of the most charismatic people I had ever met, and I soon realized that the most charming thing about him was that he had absolutely no filter! The interview itself consisted of the typical garden variety questions asked of any featured artist; how it all began, choice of airbrush (Aztek, if you're curious), compressor, paint, surface, blah, blah, blah.
I was intriqued by his stories, and I craved more. Believe me, if you hang out with Billy Dee Williams long enough he will never disappoint. He went on to reminisce about a meeting he had with the execs at ABC to discuss a possible TV series that centered around Williams. "Clifford, there was an attractive female at the meeting with very large breasts, and you know how it is when you're really thinking about something, and you mean to say one thing, but another thing comes out? Well, I looked at her and said, 'My, you have beautiful breasts.' My agent, always fearing I might say the wrong thing, was floored. It was funny because I really had no intention of saying that." "What happened next?" I asked. "Well, the meeting ended soon after and the show never materialized."
Tomorrow, in Part II, I'll write about my visit with Billy Dee in Hollywood.
FYI, Billy Dee Williams was featured in the 1994 January-February issue of Airbrush Action.

This is a thread for mums-to-be to ask questions, discuss issues and chat about their pregnancies to other mums
Happy Posting
Great idea, I'll start it off by saying I went for a scan yesterday - we had an extra one just to make sure everything was going ok as my son has special needs.
Everything went fine - all his measurements were spot on average. He kept sticking his tongue out which was really nice to watch. Josh came too as he'd been off school poorly, so she let him print his own picture out, and called it Joshua's baby. He is just over 1 lb in weight and his foot is 5.6cm long.
I know what you mean about been scared Jamaka, I'm sure you'll be fine though - they do say the 4th is easy, I've also been told the 3rd is the problem one when it comes to giving birth
lol I was told 3rd's the worst (once I was already pregnant) as I thought because 1st two were 'easy' this will be a breeze oh how stupid was I though they do say more than a 7yr gap its like having your 1st, not that it followed suit with my 1st,
though friend just had her 3rd and said it was lovely calm controlled water birth, so guess never can tell, what will be will be :/
Just wanted a little moan. I'm fed up of being in pain - have now been diagnosed with a stomach ulcer which on top of pregnancy pains is making me feel rubbish Have been given gaviscon which is not touching the pain, there are some tablets doc can give me but should only be given if she really has to so am a bit wary of going back to docs as I'm worried they could cause problems with the baby
Been to midwife to day and was told baby is well engaged and could come anytime, so very pleased about that. Also, seem to be craving weird smells just lately, has anyone else had that - smells like Brasso, antibacterial hand cleaner, petrol, revving cars?

...and a couple of related questions...
I have read through a number of threads on this site. I have found this question touched on in a few places but I would like to create a central place for this info.
I live in China and often need to tote things around with my bike, as much as 100 pounds of fruit and vegetables, oil, etc. I often need to carry someone also - not at the same time as totting the veggies.
I have two needs. For longer trips without so many stops I am looking for pedal assist. For about 60% of my traveling I am looking for the motor to do most, if not all of the work so that I can concentrate on the dangerous idiots around me that are not paying attention to me at all.
I had a beach bike that i was riding before. I found that the upright position was very comfortable. Can I add the beach bike handlebars to another kind of bike?
Most of the bikes or bike kits that I have looked at say that maximum weight is 300+ pounds. I find this strange because 500 pounds can be considered to be 300+ pounds It is likely that I will have at least 350 pounds on it sometimes, if not 400 pounds...plus the weight of the bike, motor, batteries etc. Is some kind of rear suspension (shock absorber) recommended?
Are there types of bikes that are usually designed for more weight? I don't have the money to have a custom frame made but if you think it is necessary I would save up for it. What is the part of the bike that determines the weight capacity? The frame? the wheels/tires? It seems to me that the wheels/tires are the weak link in the system.
I have read that putting the motor on the front wheel can be dangerous because the hub/bicycle connection was not designed for torque. Is this significant? Can this be eliminated by finding a new hub? Are there any other problems with putting a motor on the front?
It seems that belt or chain driven motors are cheaper than hubs? They also have the advantage of allowing you to hook them up to a set of gears, possibly allowing me to use a less powerful and less expensive motor - more energy frugal. Any comments on this?
Do I need to have a motor mount welded to the frame of my bicycle to be able to mount a gear or belt driven motor?
I have seen a few production ebikes with a motor on the front axle and on the back. What advantage does this have? - maybe can use cheaper motors because both are lower power?
Will hub gear boxes designed for bicycles withstand the torque of a 500-700 watt electric motor?
How much of the stopping of a bicycle is done by the front wheel? The rear wheel? I ask this because I want to put a disk brake on one of the wheels of my ebike and want to know which one will provide the most benefit.
What is the safest maximum speed of a bicycle?
Sorry for the hodgepodge of questions...not all are strictly related to ebikes but all have an impact on my decision making.

The headmaster of the school finally gave us keys to the school to justify our late stay every day. When the teachers left the building we ran a small business in the basement of the school. Our first clients were local businesses that needed a webpage. This was when it all exploded in 1997.
Your name, plus your original "web name/handle"
Tony Högqvist
My original nickname was actually "Only". But my friends made so much fun of me for that self-opinionated name, I stop using any nick name at all.
Your first web encounter, year etc.
It all started in 1995 in a basement in our high school.
We were a group of friends that refused to leave at the end of each day. Much because of the super new equipment (read 1995) the school supplied to our education.
Me, Klas Lusth, Jens Karlsson, James Widegren and Vinh Kha. All of us still working in the industry, went to the same class and hung out in the same computer hall.
I think we all pushed each other in a positive way, even if our feedback was more mean and envy than friendly and constructive.
The headmaster of the school finally gave us keys to the school to justify our late stay every day. When the teachers left the building we ran a small business in the basement of the school. Our first clients were local businesses that needed a webpage. This was when it all exploded in 1997.
What our readers might recognise you most for, when you first hit the web.
I remember one day in 2000 when Matt Owens (volumeone.com) asked me what my personal domain/nick was. I told him I never had one and was building an agency instead of my own name.
He said I was no artist, just a slave to my company. That company was Houdini.
A few years after I started Perfect Fools with Patrick Gardner and Tony Sajdak. Both these companies still exist today.
The first Perfect Fools webpage had a page-turn flash effect that I faked up in Macromedia Flash back in 2001. It was very little code and mostly Tweens and transparent gradients to make it look like a book. I still today receive mails about that navigation.
One of my first big memories in the industry was our first Flashforward awards for a site called Popwire.com. It was a isometrical 3D community built in flash 4 with a external java applet.
More lately I must say "Converse Canvas Experiment". It's a physical installation that made chucks in to pixels. It's both made some great impact and true effect for the client and we had 5 lions back from Cannes with that project.
Because many of us used to be Flash developers and today experimenting with more physical things our TD Björn Kummeneje was building the whole software to run the "shoe screen" in ActionScript.
Your digital journey since.
I'm trying to reinvent over and over and over again.
I don't now what drives me today. Probably the hunt for the ultimate project that makes everyone else drown in envy.
Our whole industry is scraping our money from adversing budgets today.
Advertising is great because you never get stuck in a project longer than 3 months. It forces you to redo and rethink what you just delivered. Then go up and do it slightly different again.
If you are not delivering results you're out. Effect and results are the key to surviving. But your personal sucess and recognition is completely different.
So as long as your client is happy it's all up to you to express yourself with other peoples' money.
The agency Perfect Fools is still going strong and that's a huge reward in the end of the day.
What are you up to now?
I'm trying to convince clients to spend their money on stuff that will not only sell units, but something they will be remembered for as long as they have a career.

I've been cycling on and off for a few years but have got more and more serious over the past year. The fun bit is, I'm getting stronger and stronger. And even if Im not as strong as I want to be I can see myself getting there.
The thing is, I like to push myself and to try hard but I'm not actually racing or anything. So I'm falling between two stools with the people I ride with. There are "daytrippers" (no harm in that) who go out for a few hours, say, MTB-ing. I find this a bit frustrating now as I can keep going , I don't need to be waiting around. Then there are people who are really serious and really good. The reason I don't like to out with these folks is I don't like holding them up. They are seriously training for events in different disciplines and Im just there to see if I can keep up with the serious cyclists.
I recently went on a spin with some (to me) serious cyclists and happily I could pretty much keep up but being my first road spin with a group I was all over the place, to their annoyance. I don't blame them. For me what was a great achivement that I could keep up with them turned a bit sour for me cos I felt I was out of place. I just did not enjoy it.
Im maybe not articulating for well but I want to train as hard as the serious cyclists but I don't really want the seriousness. Does anyone else feel like this?

Notable books
Notable Books | Four books about strange worlds reviewed by Susan Olasky
Girl in Translation
A moving novel about the immigrant experience, told from the perspective of a young girl who moves to Brooklyn from Hong Kong at the beginning of sixth grade. Her mother works in a sweat shop in Chinatown where Kim joins her after school. The novel conveys the girl's confusion as she adjusts to a new language (the author conveys humorously how English sounds to her), school, work, and a roach- and rat-infested apartment that lacks heat or air conditioning. She's smart, though, and works hard to lift herself and her proud mother out of poverty. The novel shows both the callousness of her new country and its many opportunities.
Sacred Hearts: A Novel
I'm not an expert on Renaissance Italy or convent life, but Sarah Dunant did a good job convincing me that she is. She makes cloistered life in a medieval Benedictine convent tangible. The story is at heart a romance. A young woman, forced into the convent by her wealthy father because he does not want her to marry a music teacher, resists her future. It's not unusual for a novice to be reluctant: The convent is home to women without a dowry, orphans, and those with deformities. They assume the novice will grow to love the spiritual rhythms as they have. The novel brilliantly captures the convent's complex human dimension: a mixture of Machiavellian politics, holiness, petty jealousies, intellectual and artistic passion, and compassion.
Hipster Christianity: When Church and Cool Collide
McCracken's provocative book puts the idea of hip or cool Christianity under the magnifying glass and finds it wanting. That's a surprising conclusion because McCracken is one who identifies himself as a hip Christian. He goes through the history of hip and traces its Christian types and the churches that endlessly pursue it. His line of thought concludes this way: "The desire to be cool, hip, fashionable, and recognized . . . it's all a vain pursuit and a waste of time. It comes from a very human place, but it's a distraction and a self-destructing futility. Our instinct toward cool will only be satisfied in Christ." Well worth reading by hipsters and the rest of us.
In the Land of Believers
Gina Welch is a secular Jew who decided the only way to infiltrate the purportedly crazy evangelical world would be to attend Jerry Falwell's Thomas Road Baptist Church and pretend to convert. She was baptized and even went on a mission trip to Alaska. This memoir shows she has a guilty conscience: Writing a book about all the people you lied to takes gall. But Welch comes out of the experience realizing that Falwell's people aren't all crazy idiots. She even imagines Falwell, if he hadn't died, absolving her: "'You know, Gina,' he'd say . . . 'no man was born a believer. The Lord is every bit as much yours as he is mine, and it's never too late to come on home to him.'" So true.
Most kids love dinosaurs, but parents often hate the pro-evolution propaganda that often accompanies dinosaur books. Cathy Diez-Luckie avoids the subject completely in her wonderful Dinosaurs on the Move (Figures in Motion, 2010). Scissors, crayons, and brads are all you need to bring her scientifically detailed dinosaurs to life. Mike Thaler's books in the Tales from the Back Pew series (Zonderkidz, 2010) will appeal to children who can't get enough of Bible riddles: "What did the flood prove? That God reigns."
Marla Stewart Konrad's Just Like You (Zonderkidz, 2010) introduces young folks to the idea that God loves children from all nations and tribes. The story: On the same day mothers give birth in the USA, China, South America, Russia, the Arctic, Egypt, southern Africa, India, and Australia. The refrain, as mothers greet their little ones: "Her mommy looked in her eyes and cuddled her close. She counted her fingers and toes, whispered in her ear, and sang her a lullaby." Each baby "was a beautiful baby . . . just like you."

[Intro: Akon]
Rubbing' on that Italian leather
Dem' Konvict jeans on!
Ay yo Weezy! You Ready?
[Hook: Akon]
I get it in 'till sunrise
Doing 90 in a 65
Windows rolled down screaming "Ahhh!"
Hey-ey-ey... I'm so paid
Number one hustla get money
Why do you wanna count my money?
I'mma hustla and I don't need them! One of them ya'll see!
I'm so paid
[Verse 1: Akon]
I see police on the crooked I
Doing a 100 on the Interstate 95
My shawty leanin' blasting that Do or Die
Wishing that motherfuckin' would cause we're certified
Got a system that'll beat and knock your wall off
Got a pump under my seat, the sawed-off
Got a bunch of goons, hoping they never call off
I'm a sniper sitting on the roof already saw y'all
It ain't too much to put a strain on me
That's the reason why I had to put the blame on me
I rather have them dollar bills rain on me
Then let them haters come and make the name off me
That's why
[Verse 2 Young Jezzy]
She said, "Young, why your voice so hoarse?"
I just sound like money I should of been a Porsche (voom)
Paint look like a sugar free Red Bull
I'm so paid you know I keep a pocket full (Haha)
And that's before the taxes
Took my own gross net and hid it under my mattress (damn)
Use to get bored and count 20s for practice
Paper therapy let money relax us
Gold chains around my neck just like Michael Phelps
I made a killing in the water
Kill them in the water
Against all odds and I will not stop
They try and keep me on bottom but I prefer the top
In my project chick I moved her next to Joc
She said the house to small I moved an extra block
So baby get your ass up I need an extra block
I told her do the speed limit and no extra stops
And that's why
[Verse 3: Akon]
I am the boss it only takes one call
For a driver to hit you up and drop you off that's all
Guess what I won't be taking that fall
Homie I got cake that's what I'm paying them for (aha! )
Ain't that funny?
Cuz niggas want war but ain't got money
Cuz I've seen them all talking 'till they start gunnin'
Quicker than Usain Bolt the fastest thing running
Yeah! Akon! Weezy!
Black Royals holdin' down Jersey
Devine making sure we gettin' it up front
My little brother Boo got that vision, baby
[Verse 4: Lil Wayne]
Ahem, Big Money Weezy
White wife beater with the sig underneath it
How do I feel? Bitch, I feel undefeated
Snap my fingers disappear from the precinct
Yeah, I'm ballin' we ball out
Ball 'til we fall until the ball bounce
I send some niggas with guns at y'all house
Only to find out you live in a doll house
Damn, but I thought you was tough, though
We carry choppers on our necks, call it cut throat
We, bury cowards on the set that they come from
We know magic, turn weed smoke to gun smoke
We, bomb first when we ride
You, in a hearse when you ride
I put my shoe down baby
And I'm holding down Young Mula baby!
That's why
Akon, Lil Wayne, and Young Jeezy rap about how much money they have.

And onwards, I then mapped the communities in the hexes.
But I also mapped some of the cities (next post)
Hi All
I was rooting through some old archive material and I came across a whole load of maps I drew (hand) quite some time ago. When I got divorced some years past I decided to ditch all my old gaming folders, but because I couldn't bring myself to totally ditch them I decided to scan all the contents. Some 20 years of gaming materials later I had a lot of files, and these come from this little cache.
In fact when I say archived these maps date back to around the early 1980's when I first got into playing DnD.
My campaign world was quite large and I set about a total mapping project, which at the time was ambitious as pen and paper was the only way to go. So the first map in this sequence is the Continent of Astoria, the main world map. There is a larger A3 version of this which I still have, but not scanned unfortunately.
Zooming in a little we focus on the Ring Mountains in the country of Astor. This was hex mapped and the reason will become clear.
Zoom again to a section on the coast, and the hexes become a little more clear.
And then zoom to 2 individual hexes.
But it doesn't end there, and I'll continue in the next post.
And onwards, I then mapped the communities in the hexes.
But I also mapped some of the cities (next post)
The city of Valholme is the capital of Astor, and like the world maps I wanted to zoom in, so I mapped the city and then went onto maps the wards.
And when the project got a little too much I went off and mapped other communities, such as the small dwarven village of Labrae.
And finally, a few other maps from this period.
Anyway, I hope my reminiscing hasn't got too sickly, and I hope you enjoy these 25 year old maps.
My jaw has hit the floor - how wonderful! The maps have such a lively quality to them!
Holy cheeseballs batman! These maps are the shizzle !!! :O

Once I get this, I can use it to call addChild to add the button I need to add.

What do you think of these Gloom Swamp Quests? Are you happy to expand into areas that the quests ask you to, or will you ignore those requirements for now? Sound off in the comments.

Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act
In accordance to the "Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act" of 2000, College of The Albemarle provides a link to the North Carolina Sex Offender and Public Protection Registry. The website for NC and websites for other state registers are listed below.

National Sex Offender Public Registry
Campus Security Act
In 1998, the Campus Security Act was amended and renamed the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. The Act requires COA to prepare and distribute to all current faculty, staff, and students an annual report which sets forth our policies on crime prevention issues and provide statistics on the number of specific, violent crimes (murder and non-negligent manslaughter and negligent manslaughter, forcible and non-forcible sexual offenses, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, arson, motor vehicle thefts, and hate crimes) which have occurred on campus and also the number of arrests on campus for liquor law violations, drug use violations, and weapons possession. The annual report is available at http://ope.ed.gov/security/, the college website and printed copies are available from the Vice President of Student Success and Enrollment Management.
Weapons on Campus
It is against the laws of the state of North Carolina for weapons to be on any property owned, leased, or occupied by any North Carolina educational institution. This includes handguns, rifles, BB guns, air rifles, bows, swords, etc., but is not necessarily limited to these items. If you have any questions relating to weapons on campus, contact your local security or Dean.
Campus Drug and Alcohol Policy
Promoting a drug and alcohol free environment is everyone's responsibility. COA supports and is committed to maintaining such an environment for all employees and students. The unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession, or use of controlled substance by employees or students at any official college location or any location while engaged in activities on behalf of the college is prohibited. "Controlled substance" generally refers to drugs that have a high potential for abuse. Such drugs include, but are not limited to heroin, cocaine, "crack," marijuana, and PCP. They also include "legal drugs" which are not prescribed by a physician. Likewise, possessing, consuming, or serving alcoholic beverages at any college location is prohibited.
All campus locations are smoke and tobacco free. No smoking is allowed inside buildings or anywhere on campus grounds including parking lots and inside parked cars.
Drug Counseling and Rehabilitation
If anyone needs to seek assistance for any reason related to the use/abuse of drugs or alcohol, a member of the COA counseling staff will act as a referral source.
Tornado/Hurricane Alert
In the event that a tornado or hurricane warning alert presents an immediate threat to individuals on the COA campus, the campus will be alerted by way of AlertNow, college employees and/or campus security. It is safest to be located in an interior room with no windows. Please close all windows and doors before you leave your area.
Fire Safety
Buildings should be evacuated immediately whenever the building fire alarm sounds or when instructed to do so. When notified to evacuate the building, walk quickly to the nearest marked exit and alert others to do the same. Be sure to close office and classroom doors before you leave. Faculty and staff are to notify students and visitors in their respective areas to assemble in an area at least 100 ft. from the building. Assist disabled persons in exiting the building. The college will conduct a fire drill once per quarter.
Medical Emergencies
If you have a medical emergency, call the emergency phone numbers listed above. If the victim is unconscious, call for the rescue squad immediately at 911 and notify local campus administrators.
Campus Evacuations
When a campus state of emergency is declared, all nonessential personnel, students, and visitors must immediately begin an orderly evacuation of the campus. Notification will be made by a text message to those who have signed up for AlertNow as well as through the security computer notification system. COA security and maintenance personnel will assist in directing traffic to ensure the safest and quickest evacuation. At the beginning of each semester, each instructor must identify all individuals who will need assistance in exiting the building in case of an emergency. This will include wheelchair bound individuals; those with any condition limiting mobility, visually or hearing impaired individuals, and anyone else who might have difficulty following directions in an emergency. The names and locations of these individuals must be given to the business office. Security will be available to assist these individuals in exiting the building in case of an emergency. Instructors must consult with students with known disabilities as to the best way to assist them in exiting the building. Generally, building elevators are not available for use and those individuals with limited mobility may require assistance from COA staff in using the stairs. If assistance is required please notify Security or the switchboard and someone will be dispatched to assist in the evacuation.
ID Cards
The purpose of the ID cards is to allow students to readily identify staff and faculty and to have a method of determining individuals that are not allowed on campus. Students are not required to display their badges while on campus but are required to have them in their possession. If students are displaying suspicious behavior or violating any of the student responsibilities identified in the Student Handbook or "Student Rights, Regulation and Responsibilities" they will be asked to show their ID card. If a student does not have an ID card they will be asked to leave the campus. If a student refuses to leave, the police will be notified and the student will be charged with trespassing. The ID cards will also serve as the library card.
Children on Campus
Children are not allowed in any classroom, laboratory, library, student areas. Children may not be left unattended in vehicles at any time. Children may be brought to special college events and registration. Exceptions to this may be cleared with the appropriate administrative officer or department chair. Pets are not allowed on campus.

The Cameroonian midfielder Alexander Song, has been the subject of many reports in Spain saying that he was unhappy with the amount of playing time he is getting at Barcelona, and would be keen to return to Arsenal to regain his regular place in the team.
But the player himself has now denied any such wish, and although he respectfully says that Arsenal are a very good team, they just don't quite measure up to Barcelona in the world rankings, and we can't really disagree with that right now can we?
Song said: "It is a pleasure to be in the club. A lot of people would like to play here, so I'm a lucky person."
"Arsenal have good players, but this club has the best (Leo Messi). I'm not saying that the Arsenal don't have quality players, because they do, but Barca is the best team in the world."
I don't suppose that there are very many Barcelona players that would want to come to Arsenal right now, but I'm sure If Messi came first then a few more might follow!
Song also revealed that he still keeps in touch with Arsene Wenger, which goes to disprove the rumours that he left on bad terms, but not only that but Song also praised the Frenchman and told Arsenal fans not to lose faith in him. "He's the right man," Song Said.
"I spent eight years with him and he's just unbelievable. I still keep in touch with him and the last time I met him he was very happy. Hopefully he'll stay longer at Arsenal because if they lose him today then they won't be the same."
If only Wenger could get that elusive trophy that the fans have been waiting for for the last eight years, then the fans would all be right behind him again. One thing that Song can say is that he will win a title-winning medal this year, despite only starting 15 games for the Spanish Champions. Why should he want to return to the UK?

Real Housewives of Atlanta
Is Real Housewives of Atlanta New Tonight, May 18, 2014?
Man, this season of Real Housewives of Atlanta is sort of never ending — not that we're complaining! Though you may have thought last week's "Secrets Revealed" episode was the last, but Bravo's got one more very-special ep in the vault: The "Husbands Revealed" special!
Tonight, May 18, the show will air a Househusbands-only kiki, where Gregg Leakes, Peter Thomas, Apollo Nida, and Todd Tucker will dish on their lives with their very famous reality star wives. And you can imagine, without NeNe Leakes, Kandi Burruss, and the gang around to censor their hubbies, we're sure the guys will be giving us tidbits we'd never hear otherwise. Bring it on boys!
Read on for the Bravo synopsis:
"The Real Husbands of Atlanta — Gregg, Peter, Apollo and Todd — get together for a night out and reveal some tantalizing details about their lives with their wives. The men 'keep it real' on everything from who really wears the pants in their relationships to who has the best sex life, plus how hard it is to please women who have it all."
Real Housewives of Atlanta "Husbands Revealed" airs tonight, May 18, at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.

His First Throatjob
We no longer link to this site.

His First Throatjob. The sitename invokes memories of my first deep poke into someone's throat. It was amazing to know just how far I could go without completely asphyxiating my friend. I also suddenly realized that some people just don't have a gag reflex. One wonders why they even bother to chew their food.
However, I digress. All that to say I was looking forward to what I assumed was going to be a great hardcore gay site. But I was wrong on a couple counts. First off, HisFirstThroatjob is way too small to qualify as great (like really small) and second, the theme is supposedly straight dudes sucking off a cock for the very first time, but I'm pretty sure most of these guys have experience giving head.
The current 10 videos are downloadable in below-average Windows Media files and you can save them in three large parts or in very short clips, but there is no full-length option. You also can't stream them. They claim the site is exclusive, which it may very well be, but some of the scenes don't fit as well into the overall theme - the straight-guy premise isn't always convincingly delivered.
There are also 10 photo galleries. Some are low-res, but most are crisp, professional-looking shots capturing all the action as these hetero hunks are seduced into tasting a man-rod that gets shoved down their gullets. With around 50 pics per set it would've been nice to have Zip files, but you'll have to do without.
There are loads of extras, but some of them are straight (not that there's anything wrong with that), so they might not be everyone's cup of tea. For gay-friendly bonuses, there are some gay streaming videos and one bonus site called My Gay Roommates.
Unfortunately, there haven't been any new updates in ages. So even though His First Throatjob should bring back some fond memories for you, like it did for me, its low quality and lack of growth leaves a bad taste in my mouth instead.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

"A new sleeper virus that could allow hackers to steal financial and personal information has now spread to more than eight million computers in what industry analysts say is one of the most serious infections they have ever seen," Barry Neild reports for CNN.
"The Downadup or Conficker worm exploits a bug in Microsoft Windows to infect mainly corporate networks, where — although it has yet to cause any harm — it potentially exposes infected PCs to hijack," Neild reports. [MacDailyNews]

Filner frenzy has gone nuts
Letters to the editor on Mayor Bob Filner for Aug. 9, 2013
Let Filner scandal play out
It's hard to come up with anything that might mitigate the actions that Mayor Filner has been charged with. Even if we weren't living in this time of enlightenment about workplace sexual harassment, he'd be the odds-on favorite to win the Dirty Old Man of the Year award.
Still, the frenzy to exact retribution has gone overboard. One reason is that many of those who are crying loudest for his hide are being led, at least partly, by political motivations. It also includes a lot of Democrats, who seem to be thinking, "We'd better get on the right side of this or we're toast at the next election."
Of major Democrats, only Marti Emerald has had the courage to stand up to the crowd and look what she got for it: the threat of a recall.
Should San Diego be paying for the Mayor's two weeks of therapy? Does San Diego have medical insurance for its employees? To this untrained eye it looks like he has a serious mental problem, at least on this one issue. So, yes, the city should pay for this medical expense of one of its employees, unless we hold the uninformed belief that mental problems are not real medical problems.
Should San Diego be paying for the legal costs of his defending against the charges against him? Paying for the legal costs of any city executive charged with doing anything wrong is well-established. Otherwise executives would have their attention diverted by having to worry about getting the money to defend against any crackpot who comes along, and there are lots of them. (That isn't intended to imply that the women complaining about Filner's unwanted advances are in any way crackpots.) The only people who are against footing the bill for his defense are those who have already convicted him.
Is the city paralyzed by all of this, a paralysis that can be relieved only by the mayor's resignation? Seriously? Like any large organization, San Diego has well-established policies and procedures and a bureaucracy that follows them. In other words, the city pretty much runs on autopilot. The mayor and City Council are mainly needed when one of these policies or procedures requires change. That's rarely, and the mayor has told us that he will be keeping up with such issues every evening.
So let's take a step back and let this problem run its course. If Mayor Filner has his day in court and is found guilty of the charges, then resignation will be proper and, failing that, a recall. If he is found not guilty — and I don't see that happening — then he doubtlessly won't resign and a recall is still available to those who think justice has not been served.

Aristotle on Filner
Aristotle saw the "key" to happiness as living a virtuous (moral) life in a well-ordered state run by "Philosopher Kings" — noble politicians who selflessly serve citizens.
Politicians must exhibit the highest form of virtuous activity, enabling man to achieve his highest potential. These ethical teachings directly informed the U.S. Declaration of Independence and provide a basis to analyze the Filner scandal.
Aristotle taught that state representatives must concern themselves with character and encourage virtue while discouraging vice. He advocated a habit of choosing a "golden mean" to properly express driving human passions (appetite, sexual desire) rather than extremes of excess or deficiency. Courage, taken to excess, manifests as recklessness; if deficient as cowardice.
There is no golden mean in non-virtuous activity like murder, sexual harassment. They are simply wrong.

Matt Lucena - 1995 U.S. Open Mixed Doubles Champion
In 1990, Doug Eisenman and Matt Lucena added another milestone to Cal's esteemed tennis tradition, becoming the first team in collegiate history to claim the doubles Grand Slam. The pair finished the season with a career-best No. 1 ranking after winning the Volvo Collegiate, Rolex Indoor and NCAA doubles championships. Lucena then teamed with Bent-Ove Pedersen to capture a second NCAA title in 1991 before receiving an invitation to the '91 U.S. Open. The twosome shocked the tennis world by defeating eighth-seeded Luke Jensen and Laurie Warder en route to the tournament's quarterfinal round.
In 1995, Lucena once again proved himself to be a force on the professional tennis scene, as he brought home the U.S. Open mixed doubles championship with partner Meredith McGrath. The pair won their first-ever Grand Slam title in their first professional outing with a 6-4, 6-4 defeat of Cyril Suk and Gigi Fernandez.

When Security Takes Longer Than the Flight
To get through airport security in Toronto for a flight to the United States, you now have to go through eight different screening lines or ID checks. Most passengers either get a pat-down or have their carry-on bags unpacked on tables, with every toiletry kit and pajama pair carefully checked.
And tight restrictions on carry-on luggage force most road warriors to check their roll-a-board bags. "Ever since the underwear bomber thing, it's been ridiculous," said Kevin Koski, who was headed home to Miami from a job interview in Toronto.
Indeed, since the Dec. 25 bombing attempt, travelers headed to the U.S. have faced much tighter security. New rules issued by the federal government dictate that a majority of inbound travelers have to undergo individual searches, once a dreaded rarity for passengers. The searches can include pat-downs, emptying out carry-on luggage and even leafing through wallets and personal papers.
Those rules are likely to stay in force for a long time, officials say. It could be months or even years before high-tech devices such as body scanners replace frisking, for example. So, as we enter the busy spring and summer travel season, hassles and delays are likely to increase.
"If you're coming inbound to the U.S., it's going to be a tough summer unless we get some creative change in the security rules," said Steve Lott, a spokesman for the International Air Transport Association, a Geneva-based group that represents airlines around the world.

So far, the delays of three hours and more that became common at international airports in the weeks after the bombing attempt have subsided. Airports, airlines and government agencies around the world have hired more screeners to perform the "enhanced" security that the U.S. now requires for any flight headed to or flying over the 50 states. Passengers are told to show up early for flights to the U.S.—often three hours or more, even for 90-minute flights from Canada and Mexico. And the light passenger loads have made it easier on security screeners.
Airline officials said that government agencies and airports in North America, Europe and Asia have promised that they will staff up enough to prevent long lines and delays as travel picks up this spring and summer. "All we've got at this point is their word and we hope their word is good," said an official at a U.S. airline. "It's a concern."
Greg Soule, a spokesman for the Transportation Security Administration, says the agency will "continue to review the measures based on the latest intelligence and insure the highest level of security on flights bound for the U.S."
Transport Canada, which sets aviation security policy in that country, says the U.S. measures and the even-tougher requirements imposed in Canada will remain "until further notice."
The immediate reaction after the Christmas Day bombing attempt was to frisk all U.S.-bound travelers and examine all carry-on luggage. In addition, authorities imposed restrictions on passenger behavior aboard planes, such as forcing them to remain seated for the final hour of flights and keep their laps free of blankets, books or magazines. Some of the more onerous security measures were eased last month.
At home, TSA says that in U.S. airports it has increased use of explosive trace detection—when a swab is run over hands or belongings and then tested for dangerous chemicals. Over the next few weeks, a TSA spokesman said, TSA agents will begin swabbing passengers' hands to check for explosives as fliers stand in line for security screening or wait at gates. Random tests on carry-on bags will also increase using detection machines loaded on carts, the agency says, and 800 smaller, portable machines have been requested in the president's fiscal 2011 budget. The increase in trace detection by agents roaming airport terminals was first reported by USA Today and CNN.
Travelers report wide variation around the world with security screening for U.S.-bound flights. Some countries like Canada continue to restrict carry-on baggage, for example, while others do not. AMR Corp.'s American Airlines says on its Web site that most customers, unless they have elite-status or a business-class or first-class ticket, are limited to only one carry-on bag when flying from Europe to the U.S., instead of the usual one bag plus a personal item. Those tighter limits aren't in force for flights arriving from Asia, Mexico, South America or the Caribbean.
Canada has proven to be a particular trouble spot The high volume of passengers who travel across the northern U.S. border has led to long delays at Canadian airports and screening gauntlets that leave travelers frustrated.
To lessen the volume of clothes, papers, gadgets and pill bottles that screeners must go through by hand, Canadian authorities have unilaterally tightened carry-on luggage limits. Normal-sized roll-aboard bags aren't allowed. Many airlines have waived baggage fees for carry-on bags that have to be checked.
Mike Hudson of Dallas never checks a bag on his business trips—until he was trying to leave Toronto last week. "I think the whole thing is kind of ridiculous," he said.
In Toronto, travelers line up to have their boarding passes checked and carry-on bags sized and tagged before reaching U.S. Customs and Immigration inspectors. Once past the baggage policing and customs, travelers get another document check, regular security screening and a check of boarding passes again. Then it's on to the secondary screening station for yet another document check and the screening itself.
Authorities have rows of tables up and down a corridor just past the main security checkpoints. One screener selects travelers for secondary screening; about four of every five passengers were selected on one recent afternoon. Some passengers were frisked, but not all. Women were directed to one line; men to the other. Screeners had each traveler empty pockets onto tables. Electronics were tested for explosive traces. Suitcases, purses and all other bags were completely emptied out, with authorities checking every compartment and unfolding clothes to make sure nothing was hidden.
After that, there's a final boarding pass check. In all, you have to line up eight times.
"This isn't crowded and still it was an extra hour," said John Finley, a steel-company salesman heading to Minneapolis. "There were so many checks and balances, the fourth time is a bit unnecessary."
"Why don't they just get two dogs and sniff everything if they are worried about bombs?" asked Sam Goldstein, a Salt Lake City psychologist, as he stood in Line No. 6 awaiting secondary screening.
Dr. Goldstein, who travels about 150,000 miles a year, said that as a psychologist he marvels at how quickly people adjust. "You become indoctrinated to this," he said.
But as a scientist, he also wonders why governments don't give travelers more data to justify the effectiveness of enhanced screening.
"They want to give the appearance that they are doing something. What would be nice to know is the success rate of various procedures. I think the public has a right to know," he said.

Looks good to me. I, too, start with a height map no matter what style I'm doing...habit I guess, helps me to visualize what sort of terrain I want to put in.
A new project once again. It is far from finished, but I thought I might illustrate the process by showing you what I start with. So this is it: a sweet little map of a land in between two mountain ranges, divided by a large river.
So far I've come up with the basic height levels. Some higher mountains, a lot of hills and fertile plains in the area where the big river will be.
I'm pretty sure I won't stick to the Atlas style, but I find it quite useful for initial height structure. Any ideas or comments?
Now that the warm fuzzy part is over we can get back to the ritual dismemberments. Oh wait, it's not Tuesday is it?
Looks good to me. I, too, start with a height map no matter what style I'm doing...habit I guess, helps me to visualize what sort of terrain I want to put in.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

naturally, i have a problem because my company uses IE8 exclusively, which detects any http site and then "earns" the user about the security of content. the company will also not allow "enabling mixed content" in internet settings. i have given up trying to find a weather api/widget provider using only https, so my question is, is there some code that i can put in these widgets that will make their http source be seen by the IE8 browser as an https source?

It's obvious that Facebook wants you to never have to leave its service. That said, starting in June, not only will you be able to trade Facebook stock publicly (actually in mid-May), you will be able to trade the stock of other companies, directly from their Facebook pages, too.
Follow me on Twitter and on Facebook and on Google+
It's technology from San Francisco-based company Loyal3, and was announced at Ad Age's Digital Conference Wednesday. Not only can it be used on Facebook, it can be used on the company's Web pages, as well.
What's most interesting is that you will able to buy in as little as $10 increments. In addition, and here's the kicker, there will be no broker fees involved. Loyal3 calls this program a Customer Stock Ownership Plan, or CSOP ("see-sop").
Loyal3 director and former Facebook chief privacy officer Chris Kelly said: "This is the next evolution of the 'like' button in a lot of ways."
CEO Barry Schneider said, "Ownership changes everything. People care more about things they own than things they don't."
Reportedly, the process is supposed to take no more than three mouse clicks. The company said it wanted to make it as easy as buying on Amazon.com. We don't see a 1-click Buy button coming anytime soon, though.
What we can see is that companies like ShareBuilder will perhaps take a hit over this new service.
