I really love the Days Like This book cover. It looks really good. Although, I've been totally skeptical of YA Dystopians lately. I'll be waiting for your review! :D
{I'm sorry you didn't really get into The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer. I can see you would have issues with Noah. Womanizers don't usually sit well with me. I think my sub-conscious blocked that little note when reading o_0...Or possibly I hoped it was all a lie.)

I'm sorry to hear you didn't like Mara Dyer. I've read a few good reviews, but I'm not sure if it's for me or not. I'm really curious to read your review. I find negative reviews are more helpful to me when I'm on the fence about a book.

"Christina, don't tell me we only have a week to finish our garments, I thought it was two weeks!!" my friend says as I approach my home away from home, C714. Sorry dear friend, I would like another week too, but that is not going to happen. Monday April 12th critic picks the award winner and Wednesday April 14th is judgement day.
Looking back on last weeks postings, I see all my fellow bloggers were fast at work during their "spring break". I however needed some r&r. I went home (after my usual saturday session in the draping lab) and spent some time with my family. Copious amounts of beads, layers of chiffon, and the looming deadline of a second ensemble were all put on a temporary hiatus. I know that this was not the smartest decision that I could have made, but spending time with loved ones during the Easter holiday seemed like the priority of the moment.
Monday, sigh. After my train was cancelled on sunday, I was up at 3:30 AM to catch the super early train back to the city so I could make it in time for class in the afternoon. Straight from Penn Station I was back into fashion show mode and on a mission in the garment district to buy my second ensemble (cotton Inc.) fabric. $150 later, mission accomplished ( haha, no this does not include the trim that I will be running back for later.) I did succumb to buying some antique lace at Lace Star to complete my vintage look.
The drape of my cotton ensemble is near completion. I still need to do the panty, which will not take up my time, but the dear pintucking I've decided to do will. Had I planned this better, I would have got my pintucks sent out to be done. Yes this is a legal practice and not cheating. It is very hard to get these devils to be the correct size and spaced evenly, so its A LOT easier to get them sent out, but, VERY expensive. The one yard I wanted to get pintucked professionally was going to be around $98. WAS, is the keyword. I decided to try them out for myself, and after a few sample, I got it perfect, I will have to start charging my own rate!
I am also doing a cotton tulle petticoat, it is all draped and patterned, all I need to do is cut it out and sew it. I am off to Lace Star, again, because of a change made to the hemline, I will applique (applique means to cut out the motif of the lace and zig zag stitch it onto the body fabric) the "new" antique lace to the hem, sounds like a good friday night activity.
So I am going to be a busy bee this week. I have to pintuck the rest of the fabric for the bustier and yoke of the skirt, and then make it all, in time for monday. Remember first ensemble? Well I still need to change the sleeves and do some residual beading for monday too, no sweat! (kidding!) I am sure I will not be sleeping this week, so be sure to look for update posts all week long to show you how I will miraculously meet the deadlines! Wish me luck!

I am searching some rules which I could use with my big ancient and medieval1/72 armies..
I have forces around 300-400 man big...
Ancient From byblical to Fall of rome, and then medievals up to Renaissance..
And also some Fantasy armies with monsters, wizards and so on.
My first choice was both Warhammer Ancient Battles and Fantasy (with personal adaptations) , i think it works, but i wanted to ask here in the forum if maybe some of you have experence with some rules whcich allow so big armies wth 1model = 1 soldier and maybe be more fluid or easier than Warhammer System..(and for instance i do not want to mess with endless modificators, many special rules , special objects,,,)
By the way i found Lion Rampant and Dragon Ramoant interesting but maybe no good for so big forces??
Thanks for your comments

NATO troops have helped liberate a Kabul police building from a Taliban suicide squad.
Three police officers died in the attack, which lasted eight hours on Monday.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, which was the longest stand-off between the insurgents and security forces in Kabul since a major co-ordinated raid on the capital lasted 18 hours in April 2012.
Three of the five attackers were killed in the early part of the assault while two others wearing suicide vests holed up in the five-storey police building in west Kabul fired on security forces, a police officer told AFP.
They were later also killed.
"It's over. The last two terrorists are dead and they were not even given the chance to detonate their suicide vests," Kabul police chief General Mohammad Ayoub Salangi told AFP.
The reason it took so long to overpower the last two men was "because our boys acted very carefully," he said. "There were lots of important documents so we acted very carefully to not cause any damage to those documents."
Four traffic police, two members of the special forces and half a dozen civilians were wounded, deputy interior minister General Abdul Rahman said.
An AFP photographer said Norwegian soldiers were seen firing at the police building.
NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) confirmed its participation in the operation but insisted it was small.
"We do have a very small number of people assisting the Afghan security forces officials at the scene. It's primarily an advising role and absolutely the Afghan officials are in the lead," an ISAF spokesman told AFP.
NATO says the Taliban insurgency has been weakened and characterised the attack as a ploy to attract media attention, but the time it took to mop up the insurgents will be seen as an embarrassment.
"They (the Taliban) are losing the fight," said General Gunter Katz, ISAF military spokesman.
"They cannot fight face to face. These attacks are only to attract media. They carry out their attacks in the cities and crowded areas where civilians suffer."
He praised the role of the Afghan security forces in countering the attack.
The assault began with a massive car-bomb explosion that shattered the windows of nearby homes.
A local resident described the initial explosion as "very very big – it was massive". It was followed by several other explosions and gunfire.
Taliban insurgents, who are waging an 11-year war against the Western-backed government of President Hamid Karzai, claimed credit for the attack, which it said began at 5:00 am (2330 AEDT Sunday).
"A large number of fedayeen (suicide bombers) entered a building in Dehmazang and are attacking an American training centre, a police centre and other military centres and have caused heavy casualties on the enemy," a Taliban spokesman said.
There is no US or NATO-run training facility in the area and the Taliban are known to exaggerate when claiming attacks.
Monday's attack came less than a week after a squad of suicide bombers attacked the Afghan intelligence agency headquarters in Kabul, killing at least one guard and wounding dozens of civilians.
All six attackers were killed in the brazen attack on the National Directorate of Security (NDS), also claimed by the Taliban.
Afghan police and other security forces are increasingly targets of Taliban attacks as they take a bigger role in the battle against the insurgents before NATO withdraws the bulk of its 100,000 combat troops by the end of 2014.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said "the political knives" came out when Chuck Hagel faced fellow Republicans on the Senate Armed Services Committee during his confirmation hearing to be Pentagon chief.
Panetta said he was disappointed that Thursday's eight-hour hearing focused so much on what Hagel, a former Republican senator from Nebraska, had said in the past about Iran, Israel and other matters instead of what he thinks about today's issues, including the war in Afghanistan, the fight against terrorism, and looming automatic budget cuts and their impact on military readiness.
"We just did not see enough time spent on discussing those issues. And in the end, that's what counts," Panetta told NBC's "Meet the Press" in an interview broadcast Sunday.
"It's pretty obvious that the political knives were out for Chuck Hagel," Panetta said.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, noting the lengthy hearing, said on ABC's "This Week," "give the guy a break. I thought he did pretty good." Reid, D-Nev., said Hagel's party affiliation "should be a plus. We need more."
Panetta said he is confident that Hagel is prepared to succeed him at the Pentagon.
In an appearance on CNN's "State of the Union," Panetta dismissed concerns that Hagel and former Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., who was sworn in Friday as secretary of state, agree with Obama's views to the point that they won't challenge the president.
"I've got to tell you, anybody who knows John Kerry and anybody who knows Chuck Hagel ... they push back. Believe me, they push back on the issues," he said. "In the situation room, everybody has to give their honest views. And I think they won't hesitate to give their honest views."
Two Republican senators, Thad Cochran of Mississippi and Mike Johanns of Nebraska, have said they will support Hagel's nomination. Johanns said Saturday his concerns were allayed after Hagel's Senate hearing and after he met with Hagel for an hour.
"Chuck earned this endorsement," Johanns said in an interview with the Lincoln (Neb.) Journal Star.

High-net-worth and affluent investors define wealth as being able to live life with no financial constraints, and feel $5 million is the minimum needed to be considered wealthy, according to the recent UBS Investor Watch, a quarterly survey.
The survey of 4,450 investors found that 69% of those with more than $1 million in investable assets did not consider themselves wealthy.
Half of respondents defined wealth as having no financial constraints, while only 10% said it meant never having to work again and 9% said it was being able to afford a luxurious lifestyle.
While the ability to afford healthcare and long-term care was the top personal concern for 27% of investors, 20% said their children's and grandchildren's financial situations were most important, 14% listed the ability to afford retirement and 14% the potential to outlive their assets.
The survey found that 82% of respondents most enjoyed financially helping their grandchildren, 76% their adult children and 59% their parents. Two-thirds of those with adult children ages 18 to 39 currently supported them financially.
Twenty-three percent of investors continued to hold high levels of cash, and used these holdings as a way to reduce their risk level.
"Investors are using significant cash holdings as a type of 'security blanket' to give themselves peace of mind, but also to allow them to feel comfortable getting out there and participating in the market again," Emily Pachuta, head of investor insights at UBS Wealth Management Americas, said in a statement.
"This has translated to a greater confidence—and faith—in the economy over the long term despite investors' expectations of continued market volatility in the near term."
Eighty-five percent of respondents said they felt more confident when their financial plan was dedicated to long-term healthcare expenses and to providing financial support across multiple generations. Confidence dropped to 57% with a more traditional financial plan.
Investor Watch found that 80% of investors thought about their assets as different buckets, with varying risk/return profiles, based on their expected use, such as savings, necessary purchases and recreational spending.
Respondents viewed the Fed's ending stimulus as positive for the long term, albeit with a short-term negative effect. Fifty-nine percent said they were not changing their investment strategy as a result of the Fed's announcement.
Other key findings include:
- 67% of investors said they believed the economy was strengthening, and 60% said their long-term economic outlook was bright;
- 56% found the idea of a 5% constant return highly appealing for the next 12 months, while 40% found this highly appealing for the next 10 years, indicating long-term return expectations remain higher than 5%;
- 33% were highly prepared for long-term care planning, while 36% were not prepared.

I started with one of the more "popular" website hosts.....I was VERY dissatisfied in the customer service!!! I sent them a couple of emails and they have STILL NOT been answered, and I stopped using almost a year ago....all of the 'extras' supposedly included, with 'award winning' customer service combined, leads me to give that hosting service a negative 1!!!! ;)

Time for Foster to Release his Death Grip
I think it is time. We have hit that moment where either we have to throw the Carolina blue curtain back and expose that some within the castle of Major League Baseball have given their ceremonial "thumbs down" on this once vacation and getaway vista for any viable baseball long-term existence. And within their recent comments to that effect, MLB and their top honcho Bud Selig have fired yet another cannon blast over the Tampa Bay communities bow and if we again stick our heads in the sand and hope the situation will evolve without comment, we could see this team take their balls and bats and move away leaving a huge void again in our sports lives.
There are groups within this community outside the Rays own fortress walls who have whispered and made subordinate plans and survival methods for this franchise to stay rooted in the Tampa Bay area, but there is also someone within the political arena who needs to take off his Bermuda shorts and pull on his "big boy" pants before this team packs their bags and beats a hasty retreat to a community that awaits them with open arms and checkbooks. If Tampa Bay had their own "Doomsday clock" we would have heard a distinct loud click of the minute hand as it moved one more moment towards our impending reality that too many moments have been wasted and only a clear and concise plan will move the hand further away from that final movement towards the end.
And it is not all St. Petersburg Mayor Bill Foster's arms crossed and bullying action that have eroded MLB's mindset to baseball surviving their low attendance numbers and minimal show of season long support by the fans or the local Tampa Bay community. Sure Foster and his threat of spanking anyone and everyone with lawsuits and punitive punishments has put any plans of a Rays stadium outside the kingdom of Foster's own chalk drawn lines a political and financial nightmare, but maybe it is time to remind Foster of the fact most St. Petersburg voters have him firmly in their crosshairs as the main reason for the blockage of any real talks going on within the sunshine instead of behind the cloaked curtain with our brethren beyond the Howard Franklin.
Reality is there are plans out their for the revival of baseball on either side of that big divide we call the estuary Tampa Bay, but Foster's firm stand and opposing legal thumb has kept any vocal talk of any progresses or recesses to the press releases or behind doors to keep the bay of lawyers barking within the city limits of St. Petersburg as Tampa and Hillsborough county make their own revival plans.
Maybe it is time Foster give a 2 or 3-week reprisal to let the Rays talk to whoever wants to listen or work with them in a stadium development and realistic plan to keep baseball in this cluster of cities that eagerly want an end to this drama and again rejoice in the sound of bat upon ball in that small cluster of 180 days that is the MLB season. St. Petersburg has already lost their Spring Training iconic focus with no team training here for some time, and no team looking to this community since the Mayor seems to be pushing the wrong buttons within the MLB hierarchy and no reprisal on the horizon.
Foster has to know there is a plan being whispered on the other side of the waters of Tampa Bay in the city that has the expansive land masses that can afford a stadium revival as his city lays surrounded by water on 3 sides and has limited space and populous to grow a sound foundation. This is hard for me to write because I am a proud St. Petersburg native who was birthed just a super human throw from Tropicana Field and have a firm and honest love for this community, but the reality is afoot that maybe the true answer to keeping the Rays and MLB in this region might be located across to our city rival, Tampa. Sure I wanted the stadium on the waterfront when it was announced in 2008, but a small segment of this city's population put the same fear in the Rays as Foster is now employing and the Rays have remained silent until recently.
Sure the Rays are now talking with both the Pinellas and Hillsborough County Commissions on their wants and needs, but is it too late and this is the beginning of the end because of Foster still keeping his thumb firmly on the Rays coattails to keep them on his city and not exploring any other vista for fear of them liking another vista instead of his fine hamlet. I know it is not lost on Foster that even if a Tampa plan unfolded, his city would get a nice chunk of change possibly helping his own city budget concerns and then leaving him with the demolition of the old tilted cap that is Tropicana Field, but also with a huge bit of acreage for further development and taxable income to the city.
It is time for Foster to pull his hands back and let the Rays talk among the community, explore beyond the confirms of the St. Petersburg city limits and at least see what offers and plans have been circumvented in blacked rooms and boardrooms possibly to find a plan that would not only keep baseball in this community for a long, long time, but also reap financial rewards and increased fan base that would make MLB eyes look further West to the Oakland A's and San Jose debacle and leave the Tampa Bay area knowing progress is only a sunrise away.
The Rays talking with the two county commissions is firm starting point to an open discussion and possible back-and-forth motion of ideas and proposals that could escalate into a real and concise future home for the Rays that would make them economically sound as well as increase their fan base foothold within this community. Foster's actions to me remind me of the old political "Good old boys" firm hand and an iron fist mentality that reined in this region in the 50's and 60's.
New ideas, plans and excitement will keep the Rays in this community and Foster holding the team tightly to his ideals and wants only makes them want to escape that grasp and explore even more. Foster has a right to want to protect his town's revenues and most visible tenant, but his strong hand notions have not worked in recent years and maybe it is time to take another path, let the Rays venture eastbound and look at their options and explore the horizons that have been blanketed from them for so long. Foster knows if he wants a second term in office the Rays could be his linchpin to defeat or victory.
Maybe the best thing Foster can do for St. Petersburg right now is release his grip a but and let the Rays do their due diligence. Who knows, maybe the team will see the Pinellas county ideas are not unfounded and possibly stay within the city limits. But the other reality is that Foster's firm grip on the team's stadium discussion could become even more constrictive in the near future and in effect choke the life out of the Rays stadium situation. Yep, it is time for the "big boy" pants to come out and we give viable options to the Rays before they decide that distant pastures have more appeal….outside of Tampa Bay.

Give it a pop every so often to trigger those bites. Great summer and fall time bites. Bigger bait will target bigger fish.

Following the IOC decision to stage Winter and Summer Olympic Games in staggered years, these Games took place just two years after the last competition in France in 1992. One of the most indelible images in Olympic hockey history showed Sweden's Peter Forsberg pushing the puck past Canadian goalie Corey Hirsch with one hand on the stick while Hirsch made a last-minute lunge to block it. Forsberg's goal in the second round of a shoot-out of the gold medal game gave Sweden its first Olympic championship.
Canada's Paul Kariya had a chance to prolong the shoot-out but was outguessed by Swedish goalie Tommy Salo. Kariya had put Canada ahead 2-1 at 9:08 of the third period before Magnus Svensson connected on a power play goal for Sweden with less than two minutes to play to force overtime. Neither team was able to score in the extra session.
Three players on the Swedish team - Tomas Jonsson, Hakan Loob, and Mats Naslund - became the first players to win World, Olympic, and Stanley Cup titles in three separate tournaments. Slovakia, competing in its first Olympics as a nation, and Finland had been the surprise group winners in preliminary round play. But the Peter Stastny-led Slovaks lost 3-2 in overtime to Russia in the quarterfinals and Finland, which had allowed just five goals in its previous six games, fell to Canada 5-3 in the semis.
Although Slovakia failed to make it to the final four, two of its players had exceptional tournaments. Zigmund Palffy was the tournament scoring champion with 10 points in six games and Miroslav Satan led the way in goals with nine. Russia, playing in the Olympics without the help of stars from the former Soviet Republics, lost 4-0 to Finland in the bronze-medal game and finished out of the medals for the first time in the history of Soviet/Russian hockey.

About RickyRood
I'm a professor at U Michigan and lead a course on climate change problem solving. These articles often come from and contribute to the course.
By: Dr. Ricky Rood , 7:07 AM GMT on February 17, 2015
Nell, Dudley and Snidely: Uncertainty
In last week's article I wrote:
Probability and likelihood are notoriously difficult ways to communicate in quiet consultation, and even more difficult in newspapers, on the radio, television and online. Probability and risk are just made for conflicting headlines. The conclusions are, therefore, by definition, uncertain, and uncertainty can always fuel both sides of a rhetorical or a political argument.
I got a very nice comment from Scott Sabol of WJW FOX 8 about the "uphill battle attempting to communicate uncertainty both in day-to-day weather forecasts and the describing of the components of extreme weather events/climate change influence without alienating the audience." I have seen several blogs since the blizzard forecasts of January 23 – 26 that focus on the need to better quantify and describe the uncertainty associated with winter storms. Uncertainty is subject of this article.
Here's a still growing record of the Northeast blizzard news cycle on my Tumblr site. This record includes some of the blogs referenced in the previous paragraph that discuss the need for better communication of uncertainty.
In the fall of 2014, I taught a small course on uncertainty, and specifically, on placing uncertainty of climate change in context with other sources of uncertainty in applying climate knowledge to planning and policy. My starting point in many uncertainty discussions is from the uncertainty fallacy; namely, that the quantification and reduction of uncertainty is the primary barrier that hinders the use of scientific knowledge in decision making. During the 1990s, many proposals and measurement missions were sold on the promise of "reducing uncertainty." If you consider all of the complex processes that make up the climate system and their simplified representation in models, then casual statements that uncertainty will be reduced by any one investigation are not likely to hold up. Uncertainty might be better understood and be better described, but reduction is unlikely. Further, reduction does not assure better usability of knowledge, and in most cases it is not required.
One of my favorite classroom experiences is when the business students in class describe to the scientists and engineers that they are always making decisions in the face of great uncertainty. They want to know how climate uncertainty stacks up against other sources of uncertainty. They also what evidence that changes in the uncertainty descriptions will be incremental; that is, for example, from one assessment to the next, the description is largely the same.
If you listen to the NPR series on Risk and Reason, you will get a feeling of the difficulty of communicating uncertainty and the difficulty that people have in using information about uncertainty. In that series, there are those who advocate never using numbers describing uncertainty in policy contexts, and then there are those thinking of clever and effective ways to communicate numbers to individuals making important decisions. One take away is that how people use information about uncertainty is highly personal. There are often strong elements of fear and want.
Also, in many cases people have an agenda of how they want to use uncertainty – to make something happen or to keep something from happening ( a Rood blog, an ancient Rood blog, and yet another Rood blog, enough).
The quest for uncertainty quantification and highly quantified descriptions of uncertainty to assist in decision making is a mistake often made by scientists. In the cohort of clients I work with, the vast majority is simply not prepared to work with highly quantitative descriptions of uncertainty. Even more to the point, when climate uncertainty is placed into context with other sources of uncertainty, the quantification is overkill. There are studies that suggest, for instance Tang and Dessai (2012), that highly quantified descriptions of uncertainty can, on average, reduce the usability of climate information.
All of these factors together lead to at least one robust conclusion, there is no way to communicate uncertainty in a usable way to everyone. Therefore, you need have several strategies for communicating uncertainty, and you need to frame those strategies for different audiences. In the work that I have done with experts in public health, there is always the discussion about how to communicate a risk, for example, heat waves to the public. There is also the discussion of how to communicate information to first responders and to emergency health providers so that they will be on the lookout for heat-related afflictions. I am not aware that there is any discussion to communicate to anyone the numbers from epidemiological statisticians that one type of heat index has some fractional advantage in predicting heat-related afflictions.
An important point is the need to make a special effort to communicate to those who are trained professionals and have a framework in which to interpret and use uncertainty information. In the case of a weather emergency, one imagines that large cities might have such professionals. One of the most interesting responses that I saw in the Northeast blizzard news cycle was one where funding for experts, interpreters, in providing guidance on the use of forecasts had been eliminated. I don't know the complete knowledge chain from weather forecast to shutting down a city, but this type of expertise is critical at some place in that knowledge chain.
My whole raison d'être these days is training interpreters on how to use climate knowledge in problem solving. Many of the same principles apply in how to use weather forecasts and how to use science-based knowledge in general. The Northeast blizzard news cycle has been and continues to be a real-world example for both climate and weather. The continued snow storms in Boston, for example, are a wonderful example of relentless patterns of weather that demonstrate that weather is not "random." However, the biggest lessons are on uncertainty, communication and exaggeration for the benefit of telling a story.
I stated, above, that how we use uncertainty is highly personal. I have used climate knowledge and weather uncertainty to choose the location of a house on the Chesapeake Bay as well as to decide whether of not to take a kayak out into a hurricane. In neither case did I feel I was taking on large risk. This weekend, I (over)heard what seemed to be a discussion of two people deciding not to vaccinate their son because they had determined that their son had exceptional natural immunity. A relevant weather-related example of personal choice and, perhaps, the subconscious is the evidence that people take hurricanes named after women less seriously than hurricanes named after men. It made me think of naming winter storms and what Venus or Vesta might suggest compared to Jupiter or Mars. That, of course, led to Nell, Dudley and Snidely.
One thing that I count on from scientific organizations is a dispassionate description of events and uncertainty. Winter storms, especially if we are going to personify them, need a dispassionate, standard scale to describe them. The weather service has several scales that are effective for hurricanes, tornadoes and storms at sea. Winter storms offer a difficult detail, namely, the rain-ice-snow line, whose boundaries are tricky and important. Climate change offers the additional difficulty that characteristics of storms are changing and expected to change more. Therefore, placing storms within recent and historic context seems like a potentially usable piece of information. We need qualifiers, not number-heavy quantifiers. We don't need to explain numerical dispersion errors in models to the masses. We don't need to break down all of the pieces – to speak loudly and more slowly.
From the point of view of the climate scientist and the roles that climate change plays in a particular storm – it is always true that public communication is walking into a maelstrom where people have many agendas of how they want to use uncertainty – to make something happen or to keep something from happening. I have had colleagues tell me that there is an imperative to participate in ever loudening ways to convey the knowledge of climate change. This does not appeal or seem effective to me. Those conversations of deliberate disruption and doubt need to be identified for what they are and left in their stewing pool. We need to persistently differentiate the important aspects of climate change, isolate the deliberate disruption, and more effectively expose that which is important about climate change in the many conversations that are emerging.

I found this Easter Egg today whilst editing an old article in my WordPress Blog and thought I'd share it. It's probably an old one and well-known, but I was pretty surprised to find it.
My current theme is Twenty Ten, but this probably works for the other themes as well.
First you need to generate an Autosave warning. To do this, locate a page you wish to edit, then add an extra character and hit Preview Changes (not Update). Then close the Preview page and the browser. Next, re-open your browser and go to the WordPress article that you were previously on and hit Edit (on mine it's at the bottom of the article) You should see the Autosave warning now show at the top of the window
Click on the View the autosave in red which will take you to the Revisions window
Now make the Old and New revisions the same (see Fig.1) and hit Compare Revisions which will start the Easter Egg
Once you hit Compare Revisions you will see the below message which will show one line at a time. There is no sound.
That's it. Enjoy.

Red Headed Geek
Book Description
Neither an exposé of the dark underbelly of wrestling nor a justification of its existence, Red Headed Geek is a loving, firsthand look inside the regional wrestling circuits of yesteryear by a former manager who's been tossed from the ring, bashed with a folding chair, and had painfully honest conversations with the wrestlers themselves. Billy C. Wirtz gives a distinct view of the strange world of wrestling, offering a look into the actual workings of the business and the underlying reasons for its popularity, as well as an explanation for its status as an often maligned and misunderstood subculture and its vital role in American working-class entertainment. He recounts his painful "on-the-job" training—explaining certain practices and dispelling some commonly held myths and beliefs—and discusses his personal and professional relationships with wrestlers such as the Fabulous Moolah, Diamond Lil, Sir Oliver Humperdink, and dozens of others, from the legendary to the never-heard-ofs. The book also contains a glossary of wrestling slang for those who aren't as familiar with the sport. For the die-hard fan or the total nonbeliever, this book presents one man's honest perspective and observations on a fascinating subculture.

Archaeopteryx Lithographica, the original animal to develop feathers for flight,inspired the name Arcteryx. This title was chosen because the outdoor apparel company sees itself as a brand that has broken free from the constraints of traditional outdoor gear, much like the Jurassic creature that freed itself from the horizontal norm. So, it was in 1989 that Arcteryx first took flight out of Vancouver, BC.
Founders Dave Lane and Jeremy Guard originally specialized in climbing equipment. It was their Vapor harness that first earned them a following. Now, Arcteryx still designs and produces top-of-the-line harnesses like the lightweight, breathable R-275 LT, but they have also expanded their product line to include an extensive collection of outdoor gear.
Arcteryx achieves their advantage by meshing unparalleled designs with the highest quality, best performing materials and assembling everything using the most innovative and durable manner for specified usage, like the anatomically superior Alpha SV Jacketwith intense waterproofing and GORE-TEX technology.
For Arcteryx, it all begins with the design. Each product is specifically engineered to surpass the needs of demanding athletes. 100% freedom of movement is guaranteed using activity-specific patterning as each product is scrutinized with the utmost detail for intended end-use. For example, their Alpha LT Jacket features the one-handed Speed Hood system, WaterTite pockets, heat transfer labels, and of course, all the waterproofing and breathability an adventurer could ever desire.
Materials have equal importance in the manufacturing of Arcteryx equipment. They work closely with their textile people to select and develop the best performing, most durable materials in the world in order to maximize quality in all products. The Women's Sentinel Pant is a prime specimen of amazing materials as it sports Gore-Tex waterproofing, a super effective light insulation, and a flexible fabric to enhance mobility.
Finally, Arc'Teryx also takes an immense amount of pride in their construction. They are one of the few USA clothing brands and online at www.arcteryx.com in the outdoor industry to have a domestic manufacturing facility. This enables the company to enhance proprietary developmental processes, which allows for the efficient creation of superior features that competitive outdoor clothing manufacturers can't touch. The Altra 65 backpack exhibits all the qualities that prove on-site manufacturing is unbeatable. Progressive traits of the Altra 65 outdoor backpack include Advanced Composite suspension configuration, the HydroPort, pivoting hipbelt complete with Load Transfer Disc, and GridLock adjustable pack shoulder straps.
The company has a forward thinking environmental philosophy as well. They strive
to improve stewardship and minimize their carbon footprint by constantly evaluating
their process and consistently implementing new strategies to become more efficient
and less damaging to the world we love to enjoy. It is the dedication and tireless
pursuit by the brand to produce the highest quality of products and waterproof
Arcteryx jackets, which allows us to take full advantage of every beautiful
outdoor experience this world has to offer.
If you're looking for Arcteryx in Portland, Oregon be sure to drop by our retail store. Here at the shop, our staff could be considered Arcteryx fanatics. We love their gear and have dedicated an entire line of Arcteryx videos to the brand. Click here to check out the Alpha SL Jacket Video!

A woman is in critical condition at a hospital after being mauled by at least 15 stray dogs, KHOU-Channel 11 reports.
Maria Arcos, a 52-year-old housekeeper, was attacked while walking to a bus stop on her way to work early Monday near Lyons and the Eastex Freeway in the Fifth Ward, the report says.
A pack of mixed-breed strays terrorized her under an overpass. City of Houston Animal Control Manager Chris Glaser tells KHOU that a railroad worker saw the attack and called for help.
"(The dogs bit) her arms, her legs, her neck — they (covered) her," stepson Oscar Reyes tells KHOU. "They was eating her. The dogs was eating her to the bone."
Officers have reportedly captured about five of the dogs, and a trap is set out for the others.
According to KHOU, all of the dogs will likely be euthanized and tested for rabies.

Reputed Philadelphia mob boss denied bail before racketeering retrial; 1st jury deadlocked
PHILADELPHIA – A federal judge in Philadelphia won't let a reputed mob boss out of prison to await retrial in a racketeering case.
The judge says 73-year-old Joseph "Uncle Joe" Ligambi remains a danger to the community.
A jury last month deadlocked or acquitted him of charges involving gambling, loansharking and extortion activities. The jury convicted three defendants of racketeering conspiracy but deadlocked on that central count for both Ligambi and his nephew, George Borgesi.
Authorities say Ligambi has been the acting boss in Philadelphia since Joseph "Skinny Joey" Merlino went to prison in 1999.
They say it's unclear who will run the mob now that Merlino is out. He is now living in South Florida.
Ligambi's retrial is set for April. He spent a decade in prison for murder, but the conviction was overturned.

Unassoc is a tool for unassociating file types. That is, if your user account has been configured to load a particular program when you double-click on a BMP file, say, Unassoc will remove that association.
Why bother? While this sounds like a simple task, it's surprisingly difficult to do.
If you go to Control Panel > Programs > Default Programs > Set Associations in Windows 7, for instance, you'll see a list of the registered file types on your PC, and can change the association to load one program instead of another. But you can't just remove an association unless you edit the Registry directly.
Unassoc, however, makes this very easy. It's portable, for instance, so just unzip the download, launch the program and you can view your installed file types.
Click a file type where your user account has a specific association, and you can get rid of it simply by clicking "Remove file association (user)". The system will then use the global system settings instead. (So in the case of a BMP image, perhaps, it would now open in the standard Windows viewer rather than whatever was configured for your account.)
Or, if you see some file type which you no longer need - it relates to some long-uninstalled application, for instance - clicking "Delete file type" will remove this entirely.
Messing around with file types isn't always a good idea. Delete something which applications take for granted - HTML, say - and you could cause yourself serious problems, so Unassoc needs to be used with care.
If you know what you're doing, though (and have a system restore point to hand, just in case) the program provides a quick and easy way to take a little extra control over your file types and associations.
Unassoc provides a simple way to remove user file associations or entire file types. This can be risky, though - be careful.

New in version 3.3.
Source code: Lib/venv
The venv module provides support for creating lightweight "virtual environments" with their own site directories, optionally isolated from system site directories. Each virtual environment has its own Python binary (allowing creation of environments with various Python versions) and can have its own independent set of installed Python packages in its site directories.
See PEP 405 for more information about Python virtual environments.
Creation of virtual environments is done by executing the pyvenv script:
pyvenv /path/to/new/virtual/environment
Running this command creates the target directory (creating any parent directories that don't exist already) and places a pyvenv.cfg file in it with a home key pointing to the Python installation the command was run from. It also creates a bin (or Scripts on Windows) subdirectory containing a copy of the python binary (or binaries, in the case of Windows). It also creates an (initially empty) lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages subdirectory (on Windows, this is Lib\site-packages).
On Windows, you may have to invoke the pyvenv script as follows, if you don't have the relevant PATH and PATHEXT settings:
c:\Temp>c:\Python33\python c:\Python33\Tools\Scripts\pyvenv.py myenv
or equivalently:
c:\Temp>c:\Python33\python -m venv myenv
The command, if run with -h, will show the available options:
usage: pyvenv [-h] [--system-site-packages] [--symlinks] [--clear]
[--upgrade] ENV_DIR [ENV_DIR ...]
Creates virtual Python environments in one or more target directories.
positional arguments:
ENV_DIR A directory to create the environment in.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--system-site-packages Give access to the global site-packages dir to the
virtual environment.
--symlinks Try to use symlinks rather than copies, when symlinks
are not the default for the platform.
--clear Delete the environment directory if it already exists.
If not specified and the directory exists, an error is
--upgrade Upgrade the environment directory to use this version
of Python, assuming Python has been upgraded in-place.
If the target directory already exists an error will be raised, unless the --clear or --upgrade option was provided.
The created pyvenv.cfg file also includes the include-system-site-packages key, set to true if venv is run with the --system-site-packages option, false otherwise.
Multiple paths can be given to pyvenv, in which case an identical virtualenv will be created, according to the given options, at each provided path.
Once a venv has been created, it can be "activated" using a script in the venv's binary directory. The invocation of the script is platform-specific: on a Posix platform, you would typically do:
$ source <venv>/bin/activate
whereas on Windows, you might do:
C:\> <venv>/Scripts/activate
if you are using the cmd.exe shell, or perhaps:
PS C:\> <venv>/Scripts/Activate.ps1
if you use PowerShell.
You don't specifically need to activate an environment; activation just prepends the venv's binary directory to your path, so that "python" invokes the venv's Python interpreter and you can run installed scripts without having to use their full path. However, all scripts installed in a venv should be runnable without activating it, and run with the venv's Python automatically.
You can deactivate a venv by typing "deactivate" in your shell. The exact mechanism is platform-specific: for example, the Bash activation script defines a "deactivate" function, whereas on Windows there are separate scripts called deactivate.bat and Deactivate.ps1 which are installed when the venv is created.
A virtual environment (also called a venv) is a Python environment such that the Python interpreter, libraries and scripts installed into it are isolated from those installed in other virtual environments, and (by default) any libraries installed in a "system" Python, i.e. one which is installed as part of your operating system.
A venv is a directory tree which contains Python executable files and other files which indicate that it is a venv.
Common installation tools such as Setuptools and pip work as expected with venvs - i.e. when a venv is active, they install Python packages into the venv without needing to be told to do so explicitly. Of course, you need to install them into the venv first: this could be done by running ez_setup.py with the venv activated, followed by running easy_install pip. Alternatively, you could download the source tarballs and run python setup.py install after unpacking, with the venv activated.
When a venv is active (i.e. the venv's Python interpreter is running), the attributes sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix point to the base directory of the venv, whereas sys.base_prefix and sys.base_exec_prefix point to the non-venv Python installation which was used to create the venv. If a venv is not active, then sys.prefix is the same as sys.base_prefix and sys.exec_prefix is the same as sys.base_exec_prefix (they all point to a non-venv Python installation).
When a venv is active, any options that change the installation path will be ignored from all distutils configuration files to prevent projects being inadvertently installed outside of the virtual environment.
When working in a command shell, users can make a venv active by running an activate script in the venv's executables directory (the precise filename is shell-dependent), which prepends the venv's directory for executables to the PATH environment variable for the running shell. There should be no need in other circumstances to activate a venv – scripts installed into venvs have a shebang line which points to the venv's Python interpreter. This means that the script will run with that interpreter regardless of the value of PATH. On Windows, shebang line processing is supported if you have the Python Launcher for Windows installed (this was added to Python in 3.3 - see PEP 397 for more details). Thus, double-clicking an installed script in a Windows Explorer window should run the script with the correct interpreter without there needing to be any reference to its venv in PATH.
The high-level method described above makes use of a simple API which provides mechanisms for third-party virtual environment creators to customize environment creation according to their needs, the EnvBuilder class.
The EnvBuilder class accepts the following keyword arguments on instantiation:
Creators of third-party virtual environment tools will be free to use the provided EnvBuilder class as a base class.
The returned env-builder is an object which has a method, create:
This method takes as required argument the path (absolute or relative to the current directory) of the target directory which is to contain the virtual environment. The create method will either create the environment in the specified directory, or raise an appropriate exception.
The create method of the EnvBuilder class illustrates the hooks available for subclass customization:
def create(self, env_dir):
Create a virtualized Python environment in a directory.
env_dir is the target directory to create an environment in.
env_dir = os.path.abspath(env_dir)
context = self.ensure_directories(env_dir)
Each of the methods ensure_directories(), create_configuration(), setup_python(), setup_scripts() and post_setup() can be overridden.
Creates the environment directory and all necessary directories, and returns a context object. This is just a holder for attributes (such as paths), for use by the other methods. The directories are allowed to exist already, as long as either clear or upgrade were specified to allow operating on an existing environment directory.
Creates the pyvenv.cfg configuration file in the environment.
Creates a copy of the Python executable (and, under Windows, DLLs) in the environment. On a POSIX system, if a specific executable python3.x was used, symlinks to python and python3 will be created pointing to that executable, unless files with those names already exist.
Installs activation scripts appropriate to the platform into the virtual environment.
A placeholder method which can be overridden in third party implementations to pre-install packages in the virtual environment or perform other post-creation steps.
In addition, EnvBuilder provides this utility method that can be called from setup_scripts() or post_setup() in subclasses to assist in installing custom scripts into the virtual environment.
path is the path to a directory that should contain subdirectories "common", "posix", "nt", each containing scripts destined for the bin directory in the environment. The contents of "common" and the directory corresponding to os.name are copied after some text replacement of placeholders:
The directories are allowed to exist (for when an existing environment is being upgraded).
There is also a module-level convenience function:
Create an EnvBuilder with the given keyword arguments, and call its create() method with the env_dir argument.
The following script shows how to extend EnvBuilder by implementing a subclass which installs setuptools and pip into a created venv:
import os
import os.path
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
import sys
from threading import Thread
from urllib.parse import urlparse
from urllib.request import urlretrieve
import venv
class ExtendedEnvBuilder(venv.EnvBuilder):
This builder installs setuptools and pip so that you can pip or
easy_install other packages into the created environment.
:param nodist: If True, setuptools and pip are not installed into the
created environment.
:param nopip: If True, pip is not installed into the created
:param progress: If setuptools or pip are installed, the progress of the
installation can be monitored by passing a progress
callable. If specified, it is called with two
arguments: a string indicating some progress, and a
context indicating where the string is coming from.
The context argument can have one of three values:
'main', indicating that it is called from virtualize()
itself, and 'stdout' and 'stderr', which are obtained
by reading lines from the output streams of a subprocess
which is used to install the app.
If a callable is not specified, default progress
information is output to sys.stderr.
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.nodist = kwargs.pop('nodist', False)
self.nopip = kwargs.pop('nopip', False)
self.progress = kwargs.pop('progress', None)
self.verbose = kwargs.pop('verbose', False)
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
def post_setup(self, context):
Set up any packages which need to be pre-installed into the
environment being created.
:param context: The information for the environment creation request
being processed.
os.environ['VIRTUAL_ENV'] = context.env_dir
if not self.nodist:
# Can't install pip without setuptools
if not self.nopip and not self.nodist:
def reader(self, stream, context):
Read lines from a subprocess' output stream and either pass to a progress
callable (if specified) or write progress information to sys.stderr.
progress = self.progress
while True:
s = stream.readline()
if not s:
if progress is not None:

|It is the official historian of the Jews, (Josef Kastein, in his History of the Jews, who gives the underlying reason for this barbaric custom. On page 173, he says, "According to the primeval Jewish view, the blood was the seat of the soul."
Thus it was not the heart which was the seat of the soul, according to the stone-age Jews, but the blood itself. They believed that by drinking the blood of a Christian victim who was perfect in every way, they could overcome their physical short comings and become as powerful as the intelligent civilized beings among whom they had formed their parasitic communities. Because of this belief, the Jews are known to have practiced drinking blood since they made their first appearance in history.

Jewish Child Sacrifice and Jewish Satanic Ritual Abuse
Posted @ 10:02
Post Title: Jewish Child Sacrifice and Jewish Satanic Ritual Abuse
73 comments:
"One of the most dangerous Jewish qualities is the brutal, direct barbaric intolerance. A worse tyranny cannot be practiced than that which the Jewish clique practices. If you try to move against this Jewish clique, they will, without hesitating, use brutal methods to overcome you. Mainly the Jew tries to destroy his enemy in the mental area, by which he takes his material gain away, and undermines his civil existence. The vilest of all forms of retaliation, the boycott, is characteristically Jewish."
The TRUTH has a way of resonating, it jumps off the page.

I think it is normal to preserve our foundation. I thought John was one of the l2 Apostles of Christ and Jewish. How can someone be both Jewish and a Satanist. Judaism is based on the belief of the God of Israel and satanism repels that God. I think the constant blaming of the Jewish communities is a antichrist/NWO ploy. I also thought the Bible was written in the Hebrew language--Jewish language. Christ was also Jewish and he was a great man of peace.

Enough about ritual sacrifice.
prior to Judaism, human sacrifice was common. It was very common for leaders in the mid east to sacrifice their own children before major battles to gain favors from the the pagan gods. The whole point about the story of Abraham and Isaac was that Abraham was willing to sacrifice his sin according to God's wishes, but is told that the willingness was enough and that human sacrifice was wrong. There has not ben human sacrifice since that time in the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim religions.
Eating of any blood, including animal blood is specifically forbidden in Jewish law and is also the basis of the prohibition against blood transfusion among the Jehovah's witnesses. The reason that kosher meats, which also satisfy the Muslim halal laws, is so salty is that the salt is used to remove any trace of blood.
You shall not consume any blood, in any of your dwelling places, whether from fowl or from animals. Any person who consumes any blood - that soul will be cut off from its people.

The Bible was written in GREEK. Learn history...
- 24 May 2009 at 15:21
The original Bible, The Old Testament, was written in Hebrew. The New Testament was written in Greek. There are many more resources if you require.
"The Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew. The New Testament was originally written in Koine Greek." – http://www.ebible.org/bible/biblefaq.htm
"Almost the entire Old Testament was written in Hebrew during the thousand years of its composition." "The New Testament, however, was written in Greek." –http://www.biblica.com/bibles/about/11.php
"The Bible was originally written in Hebrew, Aramaic (the Old Testament), and Greek (the New Testament)." –
"The original languages of the Bible are three: Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek." "The Hebrew of the Old Testament…" "Aramaic is a close cognate language of Hebrew." "In the New Testament a number of Aramaic expressions are transliterated into Greek." "The New Testament was composed during that era known as the Koine age. This was a period of universal or common Greek." – http://www.christiancourier.com/articles/200-languages-of-the-bible

I think it is normal for the people of God to have that called ritual murder ... that is the mark of "the people of God"

You people are savage beasts. You are not Jews not Hebrews of the Bible but Khazers. That is where you get this dirty satanic ritualistic behavior. You shall not go unpunsihed though. What do you think will happen to those that tried to nihilate God chosen people (Africans), with Aids, HIV, slavery, poverty, lack of education and evil????
You practice Kabala which is satanis in its very nature, lol. You have no hope and no chance. If God said he will punish until the 2nd and 3rd generation what chance do you have, tell me?
Enjoy your life here, enjoy owning Holloywood, the CFR, Bildersberg, WB, IMF, planning a NWO, raping America and using the other caucasoids as pawns because thereafter you have eternal damnation to look forward to.

1. Why is everyone so quick to believe a crazy woman with multiple personalities?
2. It's illegal to drink blood according to Jewish law, so...obviously they're not sacrificing anyone.
3. If you learned the history of the Khazars, you would know that lots of Jews moved to Khazaria because it was a religiously tolerant kingdom, and many more Jews moved there after Judaism became the state religion. Lots of European Jews have Israeli DNA according to DNA tests.
4. I'm not denying that a lot of what's in the Bible is messed up, but Jews don't even sacrifice animals, let alone children. Why so many morons believe this woman is beyond me. And even if she's telling the truth...haven't there been lots of Christians who were Satanists in disguise as well?

I remember seeing this on TV years ago. I thought its was funny. Only because, she was stating that many Jewish families are performing rituals across the nation. She could be talking aboout 5 or 10 sick families, not a ton or all.
Also, this was recorded at a time before the Oprah Winfrey show became serious. She was a shock-host at this time, just like Geraldo and Ricky Lake were.
Just some thoughts

I wonder what the Torah says about this...mainly in Leviticus.
Are you gets trying to start another Holocaust or something...silly me! You deny the Holocaust while calling for another one, just like the Iranians, and just about every other Arab.
Well now I'll tell you something, leave us Jews alone or you will regret it. Tell us how much you hate us, you have a right to free speech, but DON'T lie about us. You have no proof what so ever, anyone reading the Torah knows this is a bunch of rubish.
You want to know why Jews band together so much? For survival survival. David prophesied the Holocaust, did you know that? He also prophesied about those who hate Jews, like you.

Carolyn Capalbo, REALTOR Reviews
"I was very satisfied with Team Capalbo's services. They sold our rental property in VA while I'm in Europe, without having to fly back. Carolyn's knowldge of the area helped price the house well (more than I expected) and was sold in less than a week. She provided very useful advice from start to finish. Her team had contractors ready to bid for some repairs and I was provided with a couple of bids for my approval. The electronic signing of the documents was easy and efficient. Her team was very responsive, knowledgeable, and professional. I highly recommend this team to anyone"

pencils down/manifest: a fall mix
With all due respect to modesty, this is probably the best fall mix I have ever made.
It is helped, I suppose, by the sheer awesomeness of so much music that is out right now—including a few new songs by a few new friends new (and, yes, an oldie or two; and, yes, a few artists included twice because I don't know why people say you can't do that).
And holy return of the 2004/2007 bands, right? New Sufjan, Arcade Fire, Jenny Lewis, Nelly McKay … It's like I'm living in a basement apartment in Columbus, Ohio / a studio in upper NW DC all over again …
Anyway: It's exciting. I like fall shoe trends right now (lace-up boots!), fall outerwear trends (capes! like snuggies as evening wear!), and I like fall music. It all must mean something.
Or perhaps not. I have a tendency to read a lot more into fall (rebirth! potential!) than most, having never outgrown that whole back-to-school excitement (a feeling, I suppose, not shared by all, but I always loved school, and summer just gets to be too much after a while, doesn't it?). Either way—enjoy:

In his latest podcast Infopeople's resident book guy muses about historical fiction (and a bit of non-fiction as well), focusing on some titles from his personal past.
Mentioned in this podcast:
- Caro, Robert. The Years of Lyndon Johnson.
- Costain, Thomas B. The Black Rose.
- Costain, Thomas B. The Tontine.
- Dumas, Alexandre. The Count of Monte Cristo.
- Graves, Robert. I, Claudius.
- McGrath, Charles. "Robert Caro's Big Dig," New York Times Magazine. April 12, 2012
- Miller, Madeline. The Song of Achilles.
- O'Faolian, Sean. A Nest of Simple Folk.
- Renault, Mary. The King Must Die.
- Renault, Mary. The Last of the Wine.
I really liked Michael's list, but have to mention a couple of favorites of my own: Irving Stone's The Agony and the Ecstasy and James Michener's Centennial .
What are your favorite historical novels?
