THE Dark Knight has risen – and Tom Hardy's star has risen with it.
His mesmerising performance as bad guy Bane in the new Batman flick follows a
string of box office hits including Inception and Warrior.
But it has been a difficult road to Hollywood superstardom for the 34-year-old
British actor.
He admits going off the rails as a teen, and in 2003 he collapsed after a
crack binge and entered rehab.
With his heavily tattooed body and streetwise swagger you'd be forgiven for
thinking Tom was born on the wrong side of the tracks.
Yet he grew up in smart East Sheen, south-west London — the only child of
Cambridge-educated writer Edward "Chips" Hardy and mum Anne, an artist.
He said: "I always had a sense of shame about being privileged. It's taken me
a long time to realise it's OK to be from Sheen, it's OK to be a public
schoolboy. It's not where you're from, it's where you're at.
"I grew up around people carriers and cardigans and the deer in Richmond Park,
but behind those Laura Ashley curtains there are a lot of demons.
"East Sheen is a middle-class area but there's trouble if you want it."
And trouble was what Tom found — he was expelled from Reed's public school in
Surrey for stealing, arrested for joyriding in a stolen Mercedes while in
possession of a gun when he was 15 — the Crown Prosecution Service didn't
press charges — and became an alcoholic and drug addict soon afterwards.
He said: "I was a very adrenal kid. I ran on my feelings — and there was a lot
of fear.
"When I found drinking at 13 — a bit of beer — I felt calm. I thought this
must be how everyone else feels, and I wanted more of it.
"But then I became a drunk, a f***ing drunk, man!"
As well as diving into drink and drugs, he also experimented with his
When asked if he had ever had sex with a man, he replied: "Of course I have.
I'm an actor, for f***'s sake.
"I've played with everything and everyone. I love the form and the
physicality. But now that I'm in my 30s it doesn't do it for me.
"I'm done experimenting but there's plenty of stuff in a relationship with
another man, especially gay men, that I need in my life.
"A lot of gay men get my thing for shoes. I have definite feminine qualities."
At 21 Tom entered and won The Big Breakfast's Find Me A Supermodel competition
on TV and briefly had a modelling contract.
But it took a long time for him to feel comfortable with his good looks. He
said: "If anything, it was an impediment being a pretty boy. When I was a
kid people thought I was a girl. But I wanted to be strong, to be a man.
"My vulnerabilities were permanently on show when I was young. I had no skin
as a kid. Now I'm covered in tattoos."
He was expelled from Richmond College for the Performing Arts, then studied
method acting at the Drama Centre in central London.
He cut his studies short when he landed a role in the 2001 TV miniseries Band
Of Brothers, followed by parts in Hollywood films Black Hawk Down and Star
Trek: Nemesis. However the latter was a flop and in 2003 he collapsed after
a crack binge.
Then, the following year, his drinking and drug-taking contributed to the end
of his five-year marriage to Sarah Ward.
Tom said: "I went entirely off the rails and I'm lucky I didn't have some
terrible accident or end up in prison or dead, because that's where I was
"Now I know my beast and I know how to manage it. It's like living with a
400lb orangutan that wants to kill me. It's much more powerful than me,
doesn't speak the same language and it runs around the darkness of my soul."
With his parents' help, Tom checked into rehab and finally cleaned up his act.
He then landed a number of television and film roles and founded his own
repertory company, Shotgun Theatre.
He has also had a flourishing stage career, winning an Evening Standard Best
Newcomer award in 2003 for his role in the play In Arabia We'd All Be Kings,
and later taking the lead role in Restoration comedy The Man Of Mode at the
National Theatre.
In 2008 he starred in the Guy Richie crime flick RocknRolla — and it was a
busy time in his personal life too, as he became a dad to son Louis with
then girlfriend Rachael Speed.
He now shares custody of four-year-old Louis with Rachael and is determined to
make sure he is a hands-on dad.
He said: "It's no longer about just you. I may be working away a lot but I'm
working damned hard to make sure my boy is getting everything he needs.
"He lives mostly with his mum and I see him when I can." Tom fell for his
fiancée, actress Charlotte Riley, on the set of the 2009 ITV adaptation of
Wuthering Heights. He described himself as being a "very lucky boy" but the
engagement could prove a long one.
In March he said: "You'd have to ask Charlotte when we're getting married.
"She's a difficult woman to pin down as she's always so busy with work."
But Tom has been pretty busy too — following in the footsteps of Heath Ledger
and Jack Nicholson as a Batman baddie has done wonders for his career. He
said: "Doing Batman has been massive. My career was like a paddling pool.
"Bane has gone and thrown a grenade into it. It's that kind of change. At
times I have felt nervous about the role. It's taken me 30 years to get
"When I got offered the part I was nervous because of the hype. It is huge. My
friends have told me that my life will change after the film but I have
tried to remain focused and remain British."
Indeed, he has no plans to leave the UK. He said: "I'm not going anywhere
because my little boy's here. The bottom line is that I'm someone's dad,
first and foremost, and that's very grounding."
Hardy the Perennial
TOM made his Hollywood debut in Black Hawk Down in 2001 and played the villain
Shinzon in Star Trek: Nemesis in 2002.
He then worked steadily, including a best actor Bafta-nominated performance in
2007 TV drama Stuart: A Life Backwards. He played Britain's most violent
prisoner in 2008 film Bronson, but his breakthrough role was as Eames in the
2010 sci-fi thriller Inception.
Last year he played a mixed martial arts fighter in Warrior, and secret agent
Ricki Tarr in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

Small Engine
Small Engine Troubleshooting Problems? Ask a Mechanic Now.
Hello and welcome to Just Answer,
The firing order for that engine is 1-3-4-2. See attached link andd click on download and wait for the timer to expire and then click on download again. That is the complete owners manual.
Ok, Thank you for your research and answer.
However, the manual / link that you provide is for the W4-1770E.
The engine that I have is not the "E" model. Mine is a W4-1770
My model has standard carburation and no emissions equipment or sensors.
Do you know if the firing order is still the same for my engine?
What is the correct order to attach the plug wires to the rotor cap. Some of my research indicates that is does not correlate to the firing order due to the speed at which the distributor rotates.
See this link and do the same as you did with the last one. This is for the VH4D. Your engine is the later version of that engine and many of the parts are the same. The firing order and spark plug wire locations should be the same as yours.

SAO PAULO - Brazil's Agriculture Ministry said on Friday that the country had registered no cases of mad cow disease, denying reports on some local media websites that said the disease had cropped up in the southern state of Parana two years ago.
In a statement on its website, the ministry said a cow that died in Parana in 2010 had tested positive for prions, the proteins believed to cause bovine spongiform encephalopathy, as the disease is formally called.
But the statement went on to say that the animal did not die of BSE and did not have symptoms of the disease.
"The World Animal Health Organization (OIE) in an official communication maintains the classification of Brazil as a country with insignificant risk of BSE," the statement said.
Share prices of Brazil's main beef companies sank in early trade after the reports were picked up and circulated by local equities analysts. Shares of Brazil's JBS SA slipped as much as 3 percent in early trade but recovered half that slide after news of the government's denial began to spread.
Shares of beef producer Minerva SA fell 4 percent in early trade but later recovered half their losses. Marfrig Alimentos SA also recovered from early losses and was trading nearly flat with Thursday's close.
In 2010, the ministry had also denied reports of a case of mad cow disease after news agencies picked up on the story. The government said it would provide further details on the case later on Friday at a news conference.
A story posted on the website of financial newspaper Valor Economico early on Friday said the cow in Parana had probably died of mad cow disease.
The outbreak of mad cow disease in Europe, North America and Japan a decade ago prompted beef importers to embargo shipments and caused temporary chaos in the industry. Brazil is the world's largest beef exporter.

SARASOTA COUNTY, Fla. -- North Port city leaders have elected to keep their 911 police dispatch service, voting 4-1 on Monday night. Sarasota County had offered to take over the duties, but after more than a year of crunching the numbers and weighing the decision, North Port says no thanks.
The decision means many in the North Port Police Department are happy.
"I am very pleased with the commission's decision." Chief Kevin Vespia says that after 15 months of hammering out the pros and cons, in the end his opinion was to stick with their own. "As a police chief, you want control of the functions and the services you provide to our citizens."
After looking at initial savings of between $400,000 and $800,000 a year for the 15 current positions, the ultimate decision came down to city commissioners.
Commissioner Linda Yates says if you don't offer services, what's the point of being a municipality? "You're in a city for a reason. Typically you want a higher level of standard otherwise provided by a county."
Yates says keeping local dispatchers who know the area better makes residents safer.
Last year they handled more than 78,000 calls. "That local familiarity is so important to minimize the time it takes to get that dispatch out to units."
Sarasota County has said they needed the answer now while planning and building a new emergency operations center.
North Port leaders were concerned though the savings would not be forever. "The inter-local, as written, was a guaranteed savings for five years. We just don't know what to expect after that."
"All of the unknowns were critical for me." Vespia says their current system is working well, and that if they did make the change it would be hard to go back if it didn't work out. "It would be very difficult to establish and very costly to reestablish."
The City of Venice was also given the same deal. Despite concerns from their police department, they took it. So far we are told it's working well.
However, those in North Port say there are big differences between Venice and North Port; the big one being North Port's size, which is now the largest city both in size and population in Sarasota County.
Longboat Key was also offered the deal to take over 911 services. There has been no decision yet.

"Hello, everybody," came the voice from behind me. It sounded familiar. And the next thing I know President Barack Obama is slapping me on the shoulder and sitting to my right.
Just in case you're wondering: No, this isn't a typical day. I was sitting in a nondescript conference room in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, attending a White House-sponsored gathering called the Personal Finance Online Summit.
The speakers were a long list of impressive administration officials, including Austan Goolsbee, the outgoing chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, whose jocular delivery has deservedly earned him multiple appearances with Jon Stewart, and Elizabeth Warren, the administration's special advisor to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, whose energy level could rival your average supernova.
But no one had said anything about the president coming. And that was perhaps fitting, because as he spoke, it was very easy to forget that he was. There wasn't a script. He answered impromptu questions spontaneously. And he illustrated his views of economics not with statistics but by talking about what he learned from real people.
Beginning with his grandmother. "Don't spend all your money," he recalled her telling him. "My grandmother worked her way up from secretary to vice president of a regional bank," he said. She knew that, when it comes to saving, "save a little bit of what you're earning, and the magic of compound interest applies.''
That wouldn't explain the administration's penchant for eye-popping deficits, of course. But Obama pointed out that it isn't practical, or even good, to always eschew debt. He and his wife belong to a generation that "went to college on loans," he said. "When Michelle and I graduated from law school we had $120,000 in student loans. We were lucky because we had gone to good law schools and knew we could earn it. It took us 10 years to pay off, but it was still a good investment."
The same could be said for their first starter home, a condo costing $180,000. "It remains smart to spend on things that are going to increase productivity and wealth over the long haul,'" he said.
That said, he acknowledged that for many Americans, escaping the debt trap is a huge challenge. They face what he called "a quadruple whammy." That is, they start adulthood with student debts, must save for their first home, followed by financing their children's education and maybe supporting elderly parents. "Having spending discipline is very important."
The key, he said, is for families -- and Washington -- to understand the difference between consumption and investment. So despite massive federal deficits, he remains a champion of spending in areas like infrastructure, education and cleaner energy.
"That doesn't mean there won't be hard choices," he said at one point. But in Washington' s heated budget talks, some "will say investment is just another term for spending," he said. "There's an important distinction."

The Bluewater productions comic uses the singer's life for their animated book which also includes her kiss with Taylor Lautner and infamous MTV Video Music Awards stage encounter with Kanye West.
Taylor Swift's life story has been turned into a 25-page comic book. The country sweetheart has been animated for "Fame: Taylor Swift", which chronicles her childhood and her rise to superstardom. The Bluewater productions comic also features her screen kiss with one-time boyfriend Taylor Lautner in "Valentine's Day" and her infamous 2009 MTV Video Music Awards stage encounter with rapper Kanye West.
The comic book is part of a series of graphic biographies featuring the stories of soccer star David Beckham, former U.S. First Lady Hillary Clinton, and Lady GaGa.
Her comic book aside, Taylor Swift is one of the many Nashville superstars on Nashville Rising: A Benefit Concert for Flood Recovery" on Tuesday night, June 22. On the concert, which is held to raise money to help floods' victims in the area, Swift said, "The flood definitely affected all of Nashville. You know, for me, the fact that there were members of my band that lost their homes really affected me, because those are my friends."

Sterilized Wolves Seem to Live Longer in the Wild
The fact that the sterilized pairs have managed to maintain their traditional territories, even on a slightly smaller scale, doesn't surprise McNay.
"That's what wolves do, defend territories," he said. "They will defend that territory even if they don't have any current pups. They're just continuing to behave as they would if they hadn't been sterilized."
It remains to be seen what will happen when all the sterilized wolves die off, which they will probably do in the next year or two, biologists said. The sterilized pairs will likely be replaced by other packs that move into the territories and kill the older wolves, Boertje said.
There are already signs that other packs are moving in to take over.
"The number of wolves will increase once the sterilized packs die off," he said. "One hypothesis is that there are enough caribou now to support those wolves.
"The other hypothesis is that wolves will get dense enough to bring the (caribou) population down to a lower level."
One of the reasons the biggest caribou herds in the state, such as the 130,000 Porcupine herd and the Western Arctic herd, which is approaching 500,000, are located on the North Slope is because there aren't as many wolves as there are in the Interior, Boertje said.
"The Fortymile caribou don't have any good place to hide during calving, especially once the sterilized wolves are gone," Boertje said. "It's not coincidental that the Arctic herds go to places to calf where there are no predators."
Regardless of what happens with the herd in the future, Gardner said the sterilized wolves have more than served their purpose, both biologically and scientifically.
"It proved you can take a pack, reduce it down to two wolves and they have the ability to maintain that territory and keep it at two wolves," Gardner said.
The long term effect on wildlife populations is still to be determined.
"We're just now starting to put things together," he said.

WEST Cheshire College is celebrating the successful launch of its new operational manufacturing line.
More than 60 potential students and employers visited the college's Chester campus to see the facility and discover more about the range of fault finding courses and apprenticeships now available.
The innovative facility, developed with the help of Vauxhall Motors and Unilever, has enabled the college to offer two new courses in electrical fault finding and mechanical fault finding.
As part of the event, representatives from Vauxhall, Unilever, Burton's Biscuits and Ball Packaging, who run apprenticeship programmes and staff training with the
college, gave speeches to employers who attended.
Mark Nuttall, engineering technical trainer and apprentice co-ordinator from Unilever, said: "We have 35 apprentices across the UK and we are keen to increase this number and continue to make apprenticeships better.
"The best thing about working with West Cheshire College is that you ask for something, they listen to your needs and then they deliver."
The college is one of only a few in the country to have a fully operational lean manufacturing line, which will be used as an innovative training facility.
Tracey Welch, human resources officer from Ball Packaging, said: "The college has state-of-the-art facilities which meet the needs of our business.
"We have been impressed with the flexible staff, the passion for which they stand for as well as the standards they work to.
"We currently employ 12 apprentices via the college and we aim to add another five this year as well as continue to commit to developing apprentices throughout the company."
Bernie Toolan, plant strategic maintenance manager from Vauxhall, said: "Ever since we started our relationship with West Cheshire College they have supported our vision of creating the engineers of tomorrow.
"I want to say a big thank you to them and hope that we will partner with them for a very long time."
Tim Benn, refinery manager from Burton's Biscuit Company, said; "We have partnered with West Cheshire College to train our staff and to date all our 24 staff have passed NVQ Level 2 in engineering
"West Cheshire College is our preferred partner and long may it continue."
Vauxhall Motors and Unilever have supported the college with the launch of the manufacturing line by donating components.
The manufacturing line is now ready to use as a training facility for college courses.

Quite useful and very cute!I love most of benefit's products - partly because of their ADORABLE packaging, but also because they're pretty good quality. The products in this little cute case are quite useful and pretty. They're small, especially the bottles, but I've been getting alot of use out of them, so I expect they'll last me a while. One thing that bothers me is that the foundation faker doesn't come with a sponge or...read more some sort of tool to apply it - it says on the instruction sheet to use your fingers, which is a bit messy and uncomfortable. But the benetint is great (though if you're using it on your cheeks you have to really rub it in quickly or else you'll get marks where you put it)the california kissin' lip gloss is even better ( it really does brighten your smile and it tastes yummy, too - very fresh and minty) and the eyecon eye cream is okay - I haven't really used it much though it does feel good going on. Allover, a very cute, practical little thing to have around. — 8 years, 4 months agoRivka | 9 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
All three London clubs are locked in a battle to finish in the top four of the Barclays Premier League, with Wednesday's showdown at Stamford Bridge set to play a key part in the final outcome.
Following the Gunners' 1-0 win at QPR on Saturday, which followed on from Spurs victory over Southampton, goalkeeper Szczesny claimed their bitter rivals "do not have enough quality" to finish ahead of them.
Villas-Boas, though, insisted those comments were misplaced - and questioned the status of the 23-year-old, who has been at Arsenal since 2008, to make such bold remarks.
"He is entitled to his opinion. It is absolutely fine. You don't expect love from an Arsenal player to Tottenham player. If it touches a bit lack of respect, it is normal in a rivalry," the Portuguese said.
"I think it would have been a little more tolerable if it had come from a genuine Arsenal fan.
"Coming from an Arsenal player, he is an Arsenal player who is probably only passing by to another club, or who is not going to stay there for life. In the end if he means exactly those words from the heart.. he doesn't, for sure.
"I wouldn't say that an Arsenal fan (player) that has just arrived in that club for the last couple of years is entitled to so much hatred towards Tottenham like he seems to have."

DeDe Furseth knew it was a tough time for the family, but didn't truly grasp it fully until she read her son's English paper.
Then it struck her.
"It hit him harder than I thought," she said, referring to the fact that she was diagnosed with breast cancer in January of 2010 and Jonathan, a senior at Desert Vista, later wrote about it for class.
As much as they openly talked about it, even though they found a way to joke about it, and despite the fact that the family had already been through a scare with her mother, it wasn't enough.
It rarely is with cancer.
It is one of the reasons why the Desert Vista boys cross country team hosted a car wash at the Yoasis yogurt shop in Ahwatukee Foothills on Oct. 1 as the program wanted to raise some money and bring additional consciousness to Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
"It is something we all wanted to be part of," said Jonathan, although he didn't actually participate because it was held the same day as the ACTs. "We have seen how it can affect a family and the more awareness there is about it, the better."
DeDe, whose mother and Sierra Vista resident Neva Chun was diagnosed about a year before herself, was impressed with how a group of young men could step up and do something so adult-like.
"I am completely amazed by this generation," she said. "They want to change the world, and they are there for each other. It is a heartwarming generation.
"Really, the DV cross country folks were wonderful at the time (of being diagnosed) and helped Jonathan get through it."
The program has two families that have gotten to know Susan G. Komen more than they probably would have liked and dealt with the reality of breast cancer.
The McDonnells know too well that all it takes is one visit to the doctor's office to halt everyday life.
Laura McDonnell was diagnosed in 2005 and the family went through all of the ups and down until she was told she was cancer free.
Her husband, Bernie, is an assistant coach on the Thunder cross country team and her son, Reagan, is a senior on the team.
The approach the family took in response to the news was key, and set by Laura.
"When you are faced with that type of situation your whole world changes and there are two ways you can handle it," Bernie said. "You can either crawl into a ball and feel sorry for yourself or you can thank God every day for what you have, and Laura inspired the latter.
"It really set the tone for how we were going to handle it. Of course there were times she had bad days and we had to pick her up or vice versa, but she did an incredible job of making sure everyone continued their life. She insisted that I kept coaching and made all of my team commitments."
In the long run such adversity, especially when it ends with a positive outcome, brings the family closer.
The Furseths, along with Jordan (Jonathan's younger sister), are committee members of the Relay for Life and have a better appreciation for family and life itself.
"There is no question we came out of it a stronger family," DeDe said. "When you are going through it you really lean on each other, and once you come through the other side it allows you to see things differently and appreciate the little things."
For Jonathan, one of the Thunder's top runners, the paper he wrote was a little bit therapeutic and, in reality, showed him what a prized life he had lived until finding out back-to-back that his grandmother and mother were in a battle with cancer.
"I had lived such a sheltered life up until that point," he said. "We have a nice house, I had everything I needed, went to a good school with good friends, and never really had to deal with adversity.
"When it was happening it was dream-like."
It is reality for about 195,000 women each year in the United States. Every person and/or family deals with it differently and even when you are being proactive, as the Furseths were, the effects can still lie deep below the surface.
"We joked about it, talking about my hair or using the 'cancer card' to get out of things," she said. "We were open, but you never really know how much it is bothering someone."

David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital Management is considered one of the most successful hedge-fund managers of all time. With a net worth of more than $1 billion and assets under management of more than $6 billion, Einhorn's smallest moves are watched closely by insiders.
Einhorn's reputation has been built upon the short sale.
He first rose to fame in 2002 after taking a huge short position in Allied Capital and making millions on accusations of fraudulent accounting practices that sent its stock crashing.
But his big leap into superstardom came in 2008 with his call on a Lehman Brothers bankruptcy. At the time, it was a huge contrarian opinion, and when it came to fruition in the financial crisis later that year, he made billions.
He followed that legendary call with another huge short position in 2011, this one in Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR), right before shares crashed from more than $100 to less than $20. These are the kind of big-money investments Andy Obernmueller looks for in his "Game-Changing Stocks" newsletter.
That incredible string of winners has lifted Einhorn's Greenlight Capital Management to 22% annual returns since 1996 -- one of the best track records in the history of hedge-fund managers.
Clearly, Einhorn is a hedge-fund manager who knows how to analyze a stock and identify company weaknesses and strengths. And with the market trending higher in 2012, Einhorn aggressively added to his long positions.
Einhorn's six biggest stock purchases last year:
From this group, I have chosen to highlight Apple (AAPL) because it's Einhorn's largest position and Cigna Corp (CI) because of its exposure to long-term growth in health care services.
Einhorn's position in Apple represents almost 11% of his entire portfolio. After boosting his stake in Apple by 20% in 2012, Einhorn now owns 1.3 million shares.
As a big advocate of value investing, Einhorn's interest in Apple makes sense. After falling 32% in the past six months, Apple's forward P/E (price-to-earnings) ratio of 10 times is a 10-year low and a 30% discount to the S&P 500's forward P/E of 15.
Although Apple's growth has slowed, the company is still an earnings machine. Analysts are calling for earnings per share (EPS) of $51 in 2014 and annual growth of 15% in the next five years, almost double the industry average of 8%.
And don't forget the solid 2.4% dividend yield. But with more than $100 billion in cash on the balance sheet, there is plenty of room for buybacks and dividend increases.
A leading provider of health insurance in the U.S. and internationally, Cigna has a market cap of $18 billion.
Cigna already occupies a leading position in the health insurance industry, and it is continuing to expand into other segments of health care. Its $43.8 billion purchase of HealthSpring in 2012 immediately made it a big player in Medicare Advantage, which provides eligible participants with private health care options.
Cigna also appears to be insulated from potential threats of health care reform, thanks to administrative services accounting for 85% of its domestic business. The company also continues to expand into high-growth Asian markets such as China and South Korea. Despite all that good news, however, Cigna still looks undervalued, trading with a P/E ratio of 10 times that is in line with its 10-year average but a sharp discount to the S&P 500's 15 times.
Risks to Consider: David Einhorn's performance has cooled in the past few years. His huge position in Apple is also being called into question after an unsuccessful proxy battle to create a special class of shares and share buybacks.
Action to Take --> David Einhorn is one of the most successful hedge-fund managers of all time. Although Einhorn built his reputation on shorting, he made big additions to his long positions in 2012. These six stocks saw the biggest increase in total positions. From that group, my two favorites are Apple because it's Einhorn's biggest position and Cigna because of its exposure to the bullish growth trend in health care. Given Einhorn's votes of confidence in these companies, their stocks warrant fresh attention.

Inflict Statuses
The Inflict Statuses editor in FFTPatcher allows one to control the application of all status effects in the game. The name "Inflict Statuses" somewhat belies the all-purpose function of this tab. Not only does this tab deal with the infliction of negative status, such as that of the Black Magic spell "Poison" (All or Nothing Poison), but it also deals with both the cancellation of status such as that of the White Magic spell "Raise" (Cancel Dead) and the "infliction" of positive status such as that of the Time Magic spell "Haste" (All or Nothing Haste).
There are four conditions for status effect application under this tab:
1. All or Nothing - As many status effects as are checked off alongside this function either hit the target or none do at all. There is no in-between when it comes to the skill itself. Although, IIRC, if one has an item that guards against one status effect but not others in the set, then it will on guard the one. This may be my failing me since I have not had the change to test anything in quite a few months.
2. Random - Only one of the status effects will be applied among a set of many, even if this means that it will attempt to add a status effect that the target is immune to while the target is vulnerable to others in the set. It is pointless when used it alone. When used with formula 38 (100%), it will inflict one of the random status effects at 100%.
3. Separate - Any number of status effects can hit the target as the chances for all status effects in the set are gone through individually and either apply or do not apply. Unlike Random, it is actually somewhat useful when used alone. If it's interaction with formula 38 (100%) is to be believed, then it Separate is only 25% as likely to be applied as any equivalent All or Nothing status set.
4. Cancel - This cancels the status effect or status effects that are assigned to it. Rather self-explanatory.
All or nothing takes priority over everything. Cancel is always overrode by the others. I suspect the overrides go in sequential order (all or nothing > random > separate > cancel). Similarly, for a spell that adds two status effects, the negative status is always applied second (or at least the ones I, formerdeathcorps, tested: poison + haste, protect + sleep, and slow + regen).
Default Inflict Statuses List
Anyway, what follows will be a list of the Default Inflict Statuses set for FFT. The items (that cause the status on hit; that's different from Item Attributes) or active abilities that a number corresponds to will be put in brackets. Notes about repetition will be put in parentheses. The name used will be from the original PSX version of FFT as I have never played the PSP version. "All or Nothing" will be abbreviated as "All":

The webmaster has threatened to take this blog off my website homepage unless update it, and regularly. I have two problems with that:
The first is that I can feel the air leaving Blog World, like a slowly deflating balloon. I can get the essence of things from Pinterest and Instagram without editorial, and I had a forced break from blogging in April and somehow just never caught up again. I shall miss some bloggers, but tellingly, they are the very ones who have slipped away too…
Secondly, I am uneasy about the strange mix of personal and business. It just doesn't feel right.
So I am going rogue, or private, again. I will only write when I feel the need to put something out in the ether. I shall be refreshingly free from opinions. Over-rated.

Awesome. I can't even think straight with the song on right now but just know you have a new fan.
eeeey thanks man :D
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Good overall, really liked it, really mellow, except for the sounds coming in around 1:23. I kept hearing a high-pitched whine-like sound from whatever it was that made me cringe a little every time I heard it, as well as feeling wrong compared to the background sound.
Excellent overall, just need something to replace that metal noise.
Yeah, I think that's noise from the guitar/bass guitar that you can't hear until the synth pad stops. It really annoys me too, and mastering boosted it up a few decibels so it's really noticeable in that part XD Until I get a better guitar rig I can't really do much about it. Thanks for caring! Love from Splamwiches.

Sounds like porn, eh? haha, I didn't think you were being serious, yet, instead of thinking of it in that sense, I mellowed out a little. Very enjoyable tune. Keep it up. :D
Thanks ;D
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Like the change at 0:20 amazing. 01:23 spoons or what it is?
hehe cheers! 01:23 is just cut together audio clips of me playing with various old film cameras and kind of shaking my broken harmonica at my microphone. Glad you like the track :D

DNA Ploidy and Cell Cycle Analysis in Cancer Diagnosis and Prognosis
DNA Ploidy and Cell Cycle Analysis in Cancer Diagnosis and Prognosis
That nucleic acids can be measured spectrophotometrically in intact, fixed, or viable single cells was demonstrated in a series of publications by Caspersson in the 1930s and '40s, culminating in his now classic monograph [1]. In that paper, Caspersson demonstrated an increase in nucleic acid content in proliferating vs resting cells and malignant vs benign cells. However, although his measurements of ultraviolet absorption were specific for nucleic acids, the absorption maximums for DNA and RNA were too close to be distinguished. Probably, he was measuring differences in RNA, which are more striking than differences in DNA.
In the early 1950s, Mellors et al proposed a device for automated screening of Pap smears based on identifying malignant cells by their increased nucleic acid content; this device would use fluorescent nucleic acid stains rather than ultraviolet absorption [2]. Efforts to develop such an instrument eventually failed because of technical problems with light sources, automatic focusing, overlapped cells, staining variation, and data collection and analysis. To deal with these problems, which are inherent in a slide scanning system, Kamentsky et al developed the flow cytometer, and their 1965 description of the first instrument rekindled interest in automated quantitative cytology [3].
In those early years, skilled cytotechnologists were in short supply, and there was strong government support for the development of an automated device to screen Pap smears. Staining techniques and methodology for flow cytometry were developed first to measure DNA in intact cells and, subsequently, to measure other cellular constituents. DNA measurements eventually could be made with a precision of 2% or less, far better than had been possible with slide-based systems. The flow cytometer also was much faster and better able to measure large numbers of cells, thus providing needed statistical strength. During the ensuing years, the DNA content of literally thousands of tumors was studied. Dr. Ross summarizes the results of those studies.
DNA measurements have been most effective clinically in the detection and treatment monitoring of in situ and superficial bladder carcinomas but also are of value in predicting the behavior of other malignant tumors, including carcinomas of the prostate, breast, colon, and lung. Although DNA aneuploidy is not always associated with an unfavorable course, it is rarely a favorable predictor. Unfortunately, it is not an independent variable, but rather, correlates with tumor grade, stage, and other prognostic features.
More interesting than DNA ploidy are reports that proliferation-related parameters may have independent prognostic value. This was most firmly established by thymidine labeling of breast cancer4 but now includes studies of S-phase fraction calculated from the distribution of DNA measurements, expression of proliferation-related antigens (such as Ki-67, PCNA, and cyclins), measurements of the silver-staining nucleolar-organizing region, uptake of the thymidine analog bromodeoxyuridine, and others. Ideally, one would like to measure cell death as well as cell proliferation to assess tumor growth rate and perhaps treatment effect. Techniques to do so are now beginning to become available; these techniques identify cells undergoing apoptosis (programmed cell death) [5] and simultaneously identify proliferation and apoptosis [6]. Also of potential prognostic value are cell-surface growth-factor receptors, differentiation antigens, and, still to be studied, amplification or deletion of specific genes, messenger RNA, or protein products of the genes that control differentiation, proliferation, drug resistance, and other functions.
A Powerful New Measurement Tool
Some of these prognostic features probably are best measured on cells in cytology smears or histologic sections, in which the tumor cells can be specifically identified and admixed inflammatory or stromal cells are excluded. Until now, this has been difficult to do by flow cytometry, and measurements by slide scanning instruments have been imprecise. However, the newly developed laser scanning cytometer (CompuCyte Corp, Cambridge, Massachusetts) [7], which is under evaluation in our laboratory and others, does yield measurements on smears and histologic sections comparable to those of flow cytometry. We have measured DNA in combination with cyclins, bromodeoxyuridine label, apoptosis, estrogen and progesterone expression, cDNA probes, and expression of various antigens. The precision of measurements is comparable to that of flow cytometry, and the cells or tissues to be measured can be selected visually or identified and classified visually on a cell-by-cell basis after measurements are made.
With this powerful new tool, we can move beyond population-based measurements by flow cytometry to a wider range of feature measurements on cells in visually selected populations, even in histologic sections containing mixtures of cell types. The measurements may include proliferation vs apoptosis or differentiation and amplification, deletion, or expression of specific genes by fluorescence in situ hybridization, as well as total DNA content and many other cell attributes. It appears that quantitative and analytical cytometry is about to take another giant step forward.

The Knesset elected Yosef Shapira to be the new state comptroller in a third ballot on Monday in a 68 to 40 vote; he will replace current State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss on July 4.
The vote was conducted by secret ballot. The contest pitted Supreme Court Vice President Eliezer Rivlin against District Court Judge Shapira and Shlomo Calderon. Because a candidate must receive at least 61 votes in order to be appointed, the decision went into a third round until a clear victor was chosen.
The first vote yielded a result of 58 votes for Shapira, 44 for Rivlin, and 10 for Calderon. The second round also yielded no clear winner, with 59 MKs voting for Shapira, 45 for Rivlin, and two for Calderon. In the third and final round, Shapira garnered 68 votes to Rivlin's 40.
Shapira, 67, has been in the Jerusalem District Court for nine years and served as a judge with the rank of colonel in the military court system.
Initial media reports predicted Shapira's appointment to the position because he already had the written support of over 70 MKs. Both Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his coalition partner Shaul Mofaz reportedly backed Shapira.

A self-assessment is a questionnaire which provides people with an opportunity to explain the sort of work they think they can do now or in the future, and how we could help them into work. We'll let you know if you need to complete one.
Important information
The aim is to better understand who with a health condition or a disability can work, and what support they might need to find and stay in work.
Who needs to complete a Self-Assessment questionnaire?
Most people with a health condition or a disability that affects their ability to work full time will need to complete a Self-Assessment questionnaire as part of their benefit application. This includes people who can only work part time or can't currently work due to a health condition or disability.
People may also be asked to complete a Self-Assessment questionnaire to help identify appropriate supports and services to help them prepare for, find and stay in work.
We won't ask someone to complete a Self-Assessment if they have either:
- a job to return to within 13 weeks of their application for a benefit
- a medical certificate or other appropriate assessments which tells us that they:
- are more than 27 weeks pregnant
- are totally blind
- have a terminal illness
- have a severe intellectual or cognitive impairment
- have a disorder that has reached a stage of deterioration to the extent that their condition severely impacts on their ability to function and this is unlikely to improve.
If for some reason a person can't complete the Self-Assessment themselves, they can ask someone to help them.
If a person needs Work and Income to help complete the Self-Assessment or they are unsure whether they need to complete one, they need to contact us.

Justin Timberlake's Los Angeles Concert Brought Out All These Couples Last Night
On Tuesday, JT performed the last show on the US leg of his 20/20 Experience tour at the Staples Center.
The star-studded audience included pretty much every couple we've been talking about for the past few months.
Sofia Vergara and beau Joe Manganiello brought their tunnel vision, as did Lea Michele and boyfriend Matthew Paetz.
It was also the husbands show: Alexa Vega and Carlos Pena matched in head-to-toe black; Shenae Grimes and Josh Beech hit up the PUMA sponsored event at Hyde Lounge during the performance; Naya Rivera brought new hubby Ryan Dorsey (but the former appeared to be a bit camera shy).
Timberlake will enjoy a short break before heading over to Europe for four shows. The "TKO" singer is scheduled to hit up Australia and New Zealand in mid-September.

Banks Peninsula should conserve water during bad weather
Wednesday 19 June 2013
Banks Peninsula water conservation advised during bad weather
Christchurch City Council is asking residents in the Banks Peninsula region to be mindful with water use throughout the expected bad weather over the next three days.
Tim Joyce, Contracts Manager for City Water and Waste Unit says, "We ask residents to use water sparingly in the Akaroa harbour area, Pigeon Bay and Little River for the next three days. Some water reserves are nearing critical levels as the prolonged inclement weather has and will continue to make the taking of water clean enough to treat from the flooded streams difficult."
For guidelines on preparations in advance of heavy snowfall please visit www.ccc.govt.nz/homeliving/civildefence/bereadygetthru.aspx

When we moved in the carpet stained and so worn at the thresholds you could not walk barefoot or the nailstrip Read Mores would puncture your feet, we had terrible neighbors, and the cook vent, washer and dryer did not function properly. They told us we could paint the accent wall any color we wanted. When our lease was up for renewal the new rent was higher than the rate they were advertising for new people to move in. When we moved out they charged us to replace the carpet and repaint the accent wall.

Rated 4.7 out of 5�by 3 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by GoneNative Cute pillows that are pleasantly not overstuffed I bought these pillows primarily because they were on sale at a great price, and they looked cheerful and fun. When they arrived, I was very pleased at their nice quality, although the zippers are a bit stiff until you use them a couple of times. The pillow inserts are not as full as the picture makes them seem, but I believe that is actually a really nice feature. Too often, pillows are overstuffed and take up so much space on a bed or a couch or chair that you really can't layer them to achieve the effect you want. Not so with these, but they still have an ample amount of filling in the nicely made inserts. The pintucks are stitched securely and just add to the overall whimsical nature of the pillows. I like them so much that I plan to buy several more. July 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by RobRoy16 A wonderful bargain These pillows are lovely and a wonderful bargain. I like the colors and the texture of the material. June 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mutz great value - great colors The pillows go perfectly with my d�cor - I was looking for something bright to compliment my bedroom, which is mostly a pale yellow with secondary colors of pink, green, and brown in the curtains. I got the hot pink and fuscia - this really completes the room and helps it look bright and cheerful! January 31, 2014

People are concerned about online privacy primarily because Web sites can systematically gather information about visitors and combine that information with databases on customer behavior from other sites. But there's another side to privacy that doesn't get much attention.
The monitoring tools we evaluate in our cover story, "Look Out!", are designed to monitor specific people, systems, or locations. Some of these tools can log every keystroke typed on a machine. Some of them capture not only screen images but alsoin combination with a Webcamphotos of whoever is working at a computer and send the evidence to another computer via e-mail.
WinWhatWhere Investigator 4 is the best-known of these tools, but it has a number of competitors. Event monitors such as Blue Lance's LT Auditor+, Version 8, and SilentRunner 3.0 look for specific events on your network, such as when someone changes network rights or views files. SilentRunner can even search through files and e-mail messages. Of course, Webcams can be turned into nanny cams when joined with the proper software.
There are plenty of good reasons for using these tools in both businesses and homes. Given our heightened state of security, companies need more than ever a better grasp of the information leaving their offices. If you need to monitor something or someone, take a look at the tools we review in this story. And if you're concerned that someone is electronically looking over your shoulder, check out our sidebar "Antisurveillance Tips & Tricks".
I understand that businesses and individuals need monitoring programs to protect their security, but in terms of privacy, I'm more worried about Trojan horses that infiltrate programs and spy on people indiscriminately. Bill Machrone addresses this problem in his column, ExtremeTech. To learn more about security and privacy applications, visit www.extremetech.com/syscheck.
Monitoring programs are continually getting more sophisticated and better at hiding themselves. So even knowing whether you're being monitored is difficult. If you suspect someone is watching you, it may be more than paranoia.

Why do you want penetration?
Honestly, I don't understand why a round having more penetration is a good thing. As long as a round can get through clothing plus 6-8 inches of flesh it seems like that would be more than sufficient for self defence purposes.
Usually when I see this brought up, it is when people are comparing the .45acp to the 9mm, and the 9mm people say the 9mm has more penetration... Why do you want more penetration than a .45? The .45 has plenty enough to do the trick and seems like any more is just risking over-penetration and potential collateral damage. I always thought that the ideal round would expend all of its energy inside of the target, if you have a round with 13 inches of penetration (i.e. a 9mm) than you arent going to succeed in that endeavor. I have a 43inch chest and its only ~11 inches deep, so 13 inches=overpenetration. Or is there something I am overlooking in this?
Also, I don't want this to become some debate about which round is better than another, Lets keep it on terminal ballistics please :)
And..."That's what she said!" ;)
my opinion:
you want enough juice in a bullet that if it hits a bone it goes through and out the otherside. bullets are more effective for personal defense when there are two holes to leak through. shot placement is primary but the reality of self defense allows little time for aiming at a target the size of a baseball (heart) protected by bone. the head is a very hard target and its a lot bigger than the heart and the head can be seen.
so you want a bullet that goes all the way through to maximize your ability to end a self defense situation with your life intact.
thats why i prefer 45acp 230grn bullets when i can in a handgun. not a lot of overpenetration has the beans to get out the otherside and even if it doesnt expand its still nearly hlf inch in diameter leaving two big holes.
I, too, am a big .45acp guy, but penetration means more disturbed surface area in the wound channel out of which to bleed. People don't die of the gun shot, itself (unless to the brain stem), they usually die of the blood loss inducing shock. The more wound channel, the more blood loss quickly. A .22 will cause irreparable blood loss, but speed is of the essence when stopping a threat.
Deeper is better. (Oh don't start...) And girth is even more desirable.
A little more penetration gives more flexibility and reliability when shot presentation is not optimal, eg. if the attacker is side-on. Because everyone should have enough practice so that when presentation is optimal, placement is perfect anyway :cool:
Do not assume that you and an assailant will be facing each other squarely, on the same level. You MAY be lying on the ground, looking up at your assailant's side as he draws back his boot to continue kicking the snot out of you. Measure how much penetration you need then, and you see some different numbers.
Yes, in that position you COULD shoot him in the crotch- but do you know how hard it is to hit TINY little targets when you're in a hurry? :p
Me- I would like two holes. One to let air in, one to let blood out.
Now that ^^^^^ suggests FMJ, which isn't a bad choice in some situations. If SHTF, I would probably load up FMJ's. If just walking around town, it is JHP's for me, but penetration is EXTREMELY important if you are expecting trouble.
If trouble's coming, though, I wouldn't have a handgun in my hands, though.
Why is penetration important....you've got to get to the boiler room to make things shut down. Penetration is needed but not all that is required.

Tour de France organisers were impressed with the state of Essex's roads when they drove along the route, a highways chief claims.
Essex will host the third stage of this year's race on July 7, as more than 200 riders speed through the county.
Braintree district, which forms part of the Cambridge to London stage, has more than 1,750 cracks on its roads at present.
But road bosses admit the organisers' tour of our roads took place before recent wet weather, which has caused additional cracks to form.
Essex Highways operations manager Andy Champ said: "When we invited ASO [event organisers] to drive the route, they commented how picturesque Essex was and they commented on the quality of the roads."

The Upbeat
"Revolution" by Diplo
Diplo is an American DJ who originally became famous working with M.I.A., and then got truly big with his project, Major Lazor. Interestingly enough, Diplo is short for Diplodocus, one of the many dinosaurs he was obsessed with as a child. And if you haven't already seen him in that Andy Milonakis short ("We are Farmers"), then you might not know that he holds the title as one of the only attractive DJs in the U.S. Now, Scroll down a bit. Press play. Get out of your seat. Doesn't matter if you're in the middle of Bass just dance. Now try to tell me you don't want Diplo at Spring Fling (qualtrics survey is out, jus' sayin').
The Downbeat
"Like a Version" by Alt-J
Alt-J is probably my favorite band of all time right now. One of the only albums I've listened to top to bottom without tire for a few years- so if you haven't downloaded An Awesome Wave, do it now (actually, or hop on that Spotify Premium (now!)). Their music cannot really be categorized by a single genre, but the best way to describe the English band would be slow rock with a mix of synthy and hip hop beats. Even the interludes are sweet. But since you're in the process of downloading the album right now, thought I'd post one of their more out-there covers. The intro of the video speaks for itself: a mash-up of Dr. Dre and Kylie Minogue by a band of white British boys… pretty predictable!! (naht)

2 million Facebook, Twitter, Google passwords pilfered
BOSTON — Security experts have uncovered a trove of about 2 million stolen passwords to websites including Facebook, Google, Twitter and Yahoo from Internet users across the globe.
Researchers with Trustwave's SpiderLabs said they discovered the credentials while investigating a server in the Netherlands that cyber criminals use to control a network of compromised computers known as the "Pony botnet."
The company told Reuters on Wednesday that it has reported its findings to the largest of more than 90,000 websites and Internet service providers whose customers' credentials it had found on the server.
An analysis posted on the SpiderLabs blog showed that the most-common password in the set was "123456," which was used in nearly 16,000 accounts. Other commonly used credentials included "password," "admin," "123" and "1."
Graham Cluley, an independent security expert, said it is extremely common for people to use such simple passwords and also re-use them on multiple accounts, even though they are extremely easy to crack.
"People are using very dumb passwords. They are totally useless," he said.

Despite implementing a state policy change allowing better treatment options for women with breast and cervical cancer, Arizona still falls short on combatting cancer, according to a new report by the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN). How Do You Measure up?: A Progress Report on State Legislative Activity to Reduce Cancer Incidence and Mortality evaluates each state's activity on seven issues crucial to winning the fight against cancer.
The report by ACS CAN, the advocacy affiliate of the American Cancer Society, finds that Arizona measured up to benchmarks in only two of the seven issues.
Now in its 10th year, How Do You Measure Up? grades seven key state policy areas nationwide: breast and cervical cancer early detection program funding; colorectal screening coverage laws; smoke-free laws; tobacco prevention program funding; tobacco taxes; state tanning bed bans for minors; and access to palliative care.
A color-coded system classifies how well a state is doing. Green shows that a state has adopted well-balanced policies and good practices; yellow indicates moderate movement toward the benchmark and red shows where states are falling short.
The report also offers a blueprint for effective legislation on matters such as tobacco cessation funding; regulating indoor tanning devices; obesity, nutrition and physical activity; and quality of life.
To assist state lawmakers with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, the report provides a model framework for establishing consumer-friendly state health exchanges and protecting Medicaid programs — a critical lifeline for many cancer patients.

Sails the Baltic Seas: Silver Cloud Cruise Review by Toeknee
Overall Member Rating
Sails the Baltic Seas
Destination: Baltic Sea
Embarkation: Copenhagen
All though the Silver Cloud is an older ship and may be a little worn, and may not have the glamour and glitz as the newer larger ships, she makes up for it in other ways. I felt this sense of intimacy onboard. Because its a smaller ship with less passengers, you get a feeling of family onboard. I made so many wonderful friends on this ship, its like a family reunion. Just an awful lot of kindness.
I can't say enough about the staff and crew. They are top notch all the way. Excellent, professional, courteous and so very friendly.
The Gym facilities were awesome. All state-of-the-art equipment and every clean and always open. The food was excellent. The presentation was always exceptional and I thoroughly enjoyed each and every meal. The breakfast buffet was slightly boring but when you're in a rush to get off the ship while you're in port, this was the place to go. But More again, they could kick it up a notch on the breakfast selections and cook the eggs a bit longer.
The cabin was larger than most cabins on the bigger ships. Yes, it may be worn but the the space makes up for it. The beds were so comfortable and loved the linens. Our Seward was great...always had our fridge filled with champagne and our cabin was always cleaned and turned down service every evening was right on time. I believe service is more important to me than a worn bedspread...which I never even noticed. I was too busy enjoying my ocean view.
What I was especially impressed with this cruise ship/line is where we were able to dock. Because she is smaller we always had the prime docking spot. For example while in St Petersburg, we were docked 1/2 mile down from the Winter Palace on the Neva River. The NCL Jewel and Celebrity Century were docked at Neva entrance right in the heart of the ship yard which is approx 1 hour car drive from the city. We could step off our ship and walk right into the city. The guests onboard the Jewel and Century had to take a 1 hour drive everyday to the city and look at the view they had...a shipping yard, with lifts and containers and the spell of diesel fuel. I was so grateful to be onboard the Silver Cloud and the view that I was able to see for those 3 days in St Petersburg.
The shore excursions I took were only in St Petersburg. The prices were very reasonable and the excursions were great. We had great Tour Guides and I couldn't have been more pleased. The Silver Cloud may be expensive but when you consider that the fare includes all of your gratuities and alcohol, it is worth it. It was wonderful to have a bill at the end of my cruise for $45 for internet use. To add to that, the wines we had onboard every evening were fantastic. Excellent choices and a fine array of selections.
I have been on larger cruise lines and you feel like cattle... especially during the meal times, and the embarkation, debarkation processes. I prefer the slower pace, quieter, personalized service and intimate setting that the Silver Cruise Lines has to offer.
Only negative note...they need to update the decor which I heard they were going to do. Afterall, she is over 10 years old. Less

A struggling actress and her novelist lover each illustrate the struggle and deconstruction of their love affair.
The Last 5 Years by Tony award winning composer and lyricist Jason Robert Brown is a musical deconstruction of a love affair and a marriage taking place over a five year period. Jamie Wellerstein is a young, talented up and coming Jewish novelist who falls in love with Cathy Hiatt, a Shiksa Goddess struggling actress. Their story is told almost entirely through songs using an intercutting time line device; all of Cathy's songs begin at the end of their marriage and move backwards in time to the beginning of their love affair while Jamie's songs start at the beginning of their affair and move forward to the end of their marriage. They meet in the center when Jamie proposes.
