All types of olive oil are made from the mechanical milling of olives. This process removes approximately 90 perfect of the juice of the olive.
While there are chemical and high heat processes that are used in the production of some oils, these processes are not allowed in the production of extra virgin or virgin oils. These types of oils may not be subjected to any further processing or refining after the pressing process occurs.
By the legal definition of olive oil grades as outlined by the USDA, neither extra virgin nor virgin oils are allowed to contain any refined olive oil.
The following is an excerpt from the recent USDA olive oil grades standards revision:
(1) Virgin olive oils
(a)Virgin olive oils fit for consumption without further processing include:
i. Extra virgin olive oil
ii. Virgin olive oil.
(2) Virgin olive oil not fit for consumption without further processing designated lampante virgin olive oil.
(b) Olive oil
(c) Refined olive oil
Types of olive-pomace oil
(a) Olive-pomace oil
(b) Refined olive-pomace oil
(c) Crude olive-pomace oil
According to these standards, olive oil may only come from olives. No other oils may be mixed with olive oil for it to maintain its name for labeling purposes. Virgin olive oils may only be processed through physical means that do not involve altering the oil in any way, and no additives may be added to olive oils that are considered to be virgin.
Olive-pomace oil is a type of oil that is extracted from the pieces of olive that are left over after oil has been extracted. This oil is subjected to thermal treatment and chemical processes that render it unfit for use in cooking. Although some importers may sell this oil as a culinary oil, it is not recommended for consumption.

A few weekends ago, beautiful (and she is!) Viv from Ish & Chi popped into the Table Tonic shop. I've "known" Viv for years through the "blogosphere", so it was very exciting to see her in the flesh for the first time! And PS She looks like a doll - so pretty. So perfect. Viv is no stranger to Table Tonic (see what she bought - and blogged about - previously), but what did she leave with this time?
(above) Viv says: "I have been meaning to share with you my Table Tonic purchase. It's only small purchase (I would kill for a suzani bedspread!) - this white ceramic parrot ($30) taking pride of place on the new sideboard. Actually this is an old sideboard that was in the studio but it has now been moved to the entrance of the house. I love it here. I think it looks lovely against the dark wall."

The January Barometer, first mentioned by Yale Hirsch in 1972, suggests that a weak stock market in the month of January bodes ill for the rest of the year. Despite a last minute 'relief rally' occasioned by the Bank of Japan cutting interest rates to negative, equity market performance in January 2016 was the worst since 2009. So believers in the Barometer might be forgiven for being somewhat concerned.
Consensus explanations attribute January's equity market fall primarily to three causes:
- Markets being spooked by China. With the renminbi (RMB) further depreciating, severe volatility in Chinese stock markets and reports of large capital outflows, set against the backdrop of a lack of transparency from authorities in Beijing, global markets harbour deep concerns over China and the potential knock-on effects.
- Oil prices falling below USD 30, with the speed and the depth of the collapse exceeding the market's expectations. This is obviously related to fears about the increased odds of a China 'hard landing' scenario triggering a broad collapse of energy and commodity markets, as well as emerging markets (EMs).
- The US Federal Reserve (Fed) potentially staying on course for four interest rate rises this year, a wide divergence from the current market-implied pricing for only two hikes.
It is the third explanation that comes the closest to hitting the mark, as all these market gyrations can ultimately be traced back to the 'King Dollar' regime that we have seen since mid-2014, when the Fed began to forecast a slow rise in interest rates starting around mid-2015.
Re-emergence of 'King Dollar' has widespread ramifications
Reasons often cited for lower oil prices are falling global demand, particularly from a slowing China, supply shock, rising inventories, and OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) being effectively dead. Although clearly some of the factors are playing a part, others are rather less convincing purely based on the data. For example, China's demand has not fallen — it actually rose by 8.7% year-on-year in the first 11 months of 2015 according to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). In addition, EIA estimates that world consumption of oil rose by 1.4% in 2015. The fact that OPEC has effectively stopped functioning has been old news for over a year and thus well discounted by the market.
The beginning of the collapse in oil prices correlates very closely with when the US dollar (USD) broke out of a long range-bound trade in the middle of 2014 (see chart below). Although correlation does not necessarily imply causation, for 18 months we have seen commodity prices fall as the USD has strengthened. Since oil and other commodities are priced in USD, we would expect some impact on commodity prices from USD movements. Historically, a strong dollar has led to sharply lower oil — 1980-1985 and 2000-2005 are examples of similar episodes. Although the media are very good at offering a variety of stories to explain oil's collapse, the explanation that seems to be the most valid is simply the return of 'King Dollar'.
US dollar index vs. Crude oil index (inverted) — in USD
Source: Bloomberg. As of 1 February 2016
'King Dollar' also explains the troubles in EMs. Every time the USD surges, there are EM crises, from the Mexico Tequila Crisis in 1994 to the last Asian Crisis. The economic reasons why a strong USD causes weakness in EMs have been well documented, particularly the fact that it makes USD-denominated debt more costly to repay. Leverage has climbed in energy related lending and EM debt related to the commodities boom, but the silver lining is that it is well publicised and accounted for, making a negative surprise much less likely.
The strong dollar is also causing all currencies pegged to it to reassess their policy or risk getting attacked. Although Chinese authorities claim that the RMB has broken off the peg in order to better prepare for entry into the International Monetary Fund's special drawing rights basket, it is also true that pegging to the USD when dollar is "king" makes no sense.
Fed tightening talk has led to significant rise in real interest rates
If 'King Dollar' is the strongest explanation for oil price declines, recent EM crises and China currency policy fumbling, then what is the root cause of its strength? It's clearly the Fed's tightening policy. Even though we have only experienced one minor hike so far, talk of steady rate rises, the 'dot plots' and the significant rise of real interest rates actually makes the true level of tightening since mid-2014 much more pronounced and painful than it looks.
The strong USD is keeping inflation rates and inflation expectations subdued, which is having a significant impact on real rates. The CPI in the US was close to zero throughout 2015 — so while US 10-year bond rates are flat at about 2%, real rates have gone up substantially. This makes US corporate debt service much more expensive in light of a deflationary environment.
It is also having an effect offshore. Because the USD is still the undisputed reserve currency and global debts are still denominated in it, the strong dollar implies dollar scarcity. This equates with global monetary tightening, especially for EMs where trade is in dollar terms. Over 2015, as inflation has fallen, there has been a significant rise in real rates globally.
What can we expect from 2016?
In our view, it largely comes down to the Fed. The current crisis will persist and may become a full-blown bear market if the Fed decides to implement consecutive hikes as it indicated in December 2015. Although it has stated it believes the effect of lower energy prices to be transitory, if consumers believe the price will be permanently cheaper, then lower inflation expectations are likely to result in a further rise in real interest rates, affecting all borrowers. In effect, the true level of tightening has been substantial in the last 18 months since oil's collapse and now we are seeing the economic and profitability fallout.
It is unlikely that the Fed will be able to follow a path of consecutive rate hikes. In our view, the USD will soften when the Fed comes to accept the reality of slow-to-no growth globally and becomes more dovish in its language and approach. In the past few weeks, there has been increasing talk of a 'policy error' from the Fed. If equity markets stay low as they are now or fall even further, these voices are going to get louder, perhaps even becoming self-fulfilling. It reminds many Japanese investors of the repeated pullbacks from quantitative easing over the last two decades, which was the Bank of Japan's gravest policy error, contributing to the lost decades.
In our view, the Fed will blink, just as President Mario Draghi has hinted the European Central Bank will do and as the Bank of Japan did at the end of January by cutting interest rates to negative. This should be positive for global equity markets and may help us avoid the grim year that January has suggested.

In the small coastal town of Oyster Bay, North Carolina, you'll find plenty of characters, ne'er-do-wells, and even a few celebs trying to duck the paparazzi. But when murder joins this curious community, the Bayside Book Writers are there to get the story...
Olivia Limoges is the subject of constant gossip. Ever since she came back to town-a return as mysterious as her departure-Olivia has kept to herself, her dog, and her unfinished novel. With a little cajoling from the eminently charming writer Camden Ford, she agrees to join the Bayside Book Writers, break her writer's block, and even make a few friends...
But when townspeople start turning up dead with haiku poems left by the bodies, anyone with a flair for language is suddenly suspect. And it's up to Olivia to catch the killer before she meets her own surprise ending.

First Thought when finished: Despite not liking Olivia for 1/2 of the book, A Killer Plot ended up being a totally enjoyable read!
Quick Thoughts: This is one of those series that I have a feeling will go down as one of my favorites even though it took me a bit to warm up. The 2nd half was just awesome. I finally was on board with all the characters. I like the pacing of the mystery. I even warmed up to Olivia who was a little bit hard to take at first. I love this little town and can't wait to see what unfolds. I do have a strong opinion on who I want Olivia to develop a romantic attachment too: he doesn't own a bookstore and does have a Hawaiian shirt. All in all a darn good read. Also this should appeal to those who love the whole "rich family" type of mysteries. These guys gave the Kardashians a run 🙂
Audio Thoughts:
Narrated By Karen White / Length: 11 hrs and 6 mins
Karen did an excellent job. I started reading then switched to audio, I found out I was pronouncing names wrong again (I DO THIS ALL THE FREAKING TIME). However, I loved Karen's Olivia and Rawlings. She just really drew me into the story 🙂 So glad I have the next on audio!

Well shoot....
How funny that this is following the last post. Its been 11 days since i wrote a post and I had big plans...hmmm...that's just great. Ugh.
November is traditionally a month we give thanks for things in our lives and the timing is perfect because we usually follow that up by making our wish list for December - the month we ask for more things in which we will be thankful for come the following November. It's a a nice cycle of pondering and expectation smooshed between turkey sandwiches and mistletoe.
I shared a pretty hard post on facebook yesterday and i thought I should do the same here and admit something that is neither enjoyable nor marketable. I am 20 pounds heavier than I was at the beginning of summer.
You might be thinking...how can that happen, she is a coach. Well, it happened like it has my whole life...slowly, pound by pound. Since becoming a coach, I have tried not to weigh myself very often because BEFORE..i was a SLAVE to that stupid scale. And i do better not focusing on numbers these days. Well, i have had lots of things come up over the last 4 months...and i haven't been consistent with my workouts or with my nutrition. So, when i stepped on the scale yesterday, I knew it would be a up a FEW pounds... but not 20! I mean, holy crap...20??? Really? Maybe this isn't the best thing for my business model and if I had a swanky New York publicist I doubt she would suggest this course of action to invite others to join me on my journey from death to life, from being unhealthy to living a fulfilled life.
the reason I AM sharing this is precisely because this is a journey. Old Tina would have changed the subject or tried to put a different spin on things or would have not mentioned this at all. But I am not Old Tina and have decided that reflection (not deflection) is the best course of action because I want to lead by example. I want to be real, honest. And no matter if that is a small victory or a HUGE stumble, Im sharing it. I can't just share all the good things, the good filtered pics. I have to share the ugly too. I want people to see that this is do-able. That this journey is not always easy, but that it can be done. And that if I can do it...anyone can do it!
So, Instead of getting frustrated, angry, or depressed at this bump in my journey. I am just choosing to get up. I know I can right this ship and get back to where I want to be. I can lead by example and replace my excuses with actions. Knowing what to do and doing those things are two different things and it's time to move past knowledge into accountability. I am being honest with you because I want you to be honest with yourself and understand that it's okay if you are not where you want to be right now. It's okay if you've been where you wanted but now find yourself in a different place. And it's okay if you've been working towards a goal you haven't reached yet. The important thing is to not be defeated. To not Quit. To not give up.
This is journey and as we approach a time of reflection and thanks, take a moment to think about how far you have come and that you are not alone. I am in this with you and as I reinvest myself into a plan to get where I want to be, my hope is that you will join me and we can do this together.
Instead of giving up and surrendering to circumstances, let's work hard to remember that we are a team and we win together.
That sounds like a lot to be thankful for. <3
Im a 44 year old Mom taking charge of her health and who's passionate about helping you live your healthiest, happiest life.

The controversy over the unanswered questions surrounding the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, the former Pakistani Prime Minister, has taken another twist after the country's Interior Minister reportedly said he would reveal the identity of the killers in a forthcoming book.
Pakistani media reported that the famously outspoken Rehman Malik said he would name Bhutto's Pakistani Taleban assassins and provide other new details about her killing in a speech next week to members of the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party in Chitral.
He said the information would be made public on December 27, the fifth anniversary of her killing. He also claimed his counter-terrorism efforts had resulted in the fracturing of the Pakistan Taleban and said he would offer an amnesty to militants willing to give up violence.
"It is a fact that the majority of [Pakistan Taleban] activists are those who do it out of poverty and unemployment," he said, according to the Dawn newspaper. Bhutto, who twice served as Prime Minister, was killed in 2007 after returning to Pakistan following a decade in exile to launch a political comeback.
She was being driven away after campaigning in Rawalpindi, when a man fired three shots at her as she stood up through the sunroof of her vehicle. Then a large bomb exploded, killing 24 people.
The assassination of Bhutto, 54, has been surrounded by questions. In a book written by the former premier and published after her death, Bhutto raised concerns about figures within the security establishment, while her husband, Asif Ali Zardari, claimed that the President at the time, Pervez Musharraf, was behind the attack, something he always denied.
Two subsequent investigations - one by a UN team and another by Scotland Yard detectives - also found huge lapses in security and said her killing could have been avoided. The British detectives concluded it was more likely Bhutto died after hitting her head on the sunroof control lever than from gunshots.

In their effort to improve the management of the University System of New Hampshire, House members should proceed with care.
House Bill 1692 would eliminate the office of the university system chancellor.
It is unclear why New Hampshire needs one anyway. The bill also cuts the system's breaucracy, which ought to be a long-term goal. Slashing it from 71 employees to 12 by the end of June, though, might not be the best way to go.
Would that end up creating more bureaucracy at the individual campuses? System trustees say it would, and it appears that they have a case. Their concerns need to be considered seriously before this bill makes it out of the House. It doesn't do much good if legislators shift the bureaucracy around rather than cut out the fat.
Ed Dupont, chairman of the USNH Board of Trustees, is no enemy of reform. Under his leadership, the board wants to trim the central bureaucracy, cut costs and make the individual institutions more autonomous.
House Speaker Bill O'Brien, who is a co-sponsor of this bill, is understandably concerned about timing. Getting changes through before the end of this fiscal year (June 30th) would allow the state to enjoy the savings in the next budget.
That is a valid concern.
Getting this reform right, though, is just as important.
If it is done badly, it gives opponents of reform an excuse to undo everything next year.

When considering hickory clubs for play it is vital that you know as much possible about the clubs before buying in order to make up a balanced set for maximum performance.
Woods with neck or heel cracks or loose back lead back weights are often to be found and will require restoration work before the club is suitable to be used for play. Also woods with cut back faces taking the roll and bulge from the face itself should not be considered as it can affect performance, i.e. distance and accuracy. The same applies to clubs with very light swing weights, under C2 for men and B5 for ladies, or clubs with pronounced bent or overly shortened shafts as these faults can upset the balance and feel. When searching for irons check for loose heads or poorly fitted re shafts as again these faults will affect performance. All the above mentioned problems are a deal more common than you might imagine.
So to put your mind at rest it is safer to buy from a recognised supplier whose clubs have been professionally restored and provide as much important information as possible about each club in order for you to buy with confidence before making the next step, discovering the pleasure of playing with these beautiful vintage clubs.
One must always remember that the average age of a hickory club is between 80 to 100 years and even older in some cases so you are purchasing an item of golf history, a golfing antique.
Straight face drivers with less than 12° of loft can be very difficult to use unless you are a skilled player. The rule of "the more loft the easier to hit" applies to all clubs including modern clubs today. So for most golfers selecting a driver with as much as 12° - 14° of loft, or preferably a brassie known as a No2 wood with 12° - 15° would be ideal unless you intend to test your skill to its limit with a straighter face model!
Depth of face is also important. Deep face woods will promote a more penetrating shot. Shallow face woods, with a lower centre of gravity, will promote a higher flying shot. So look for these options when buying woods.
Most hickory era socket neck woods have square to slightly closed face angles at the address, as they were usually made by skilled club makers. Make sure that you do not buy any woods that sit "open" at the address as they can make hitting straight shots a lot more difficult. Please be assured that all our woods are carefully selected to sit squarely or slightly closed when addressing the ball.
Shaft flex in a Driver or Brassie is important to consider. A stiff flex will suit a strong, powerful swinger as it will aid control. But if you have a slower more rhythmic swing then a shaft with some flex will most certainly help to get the ball "up quicker" and give more accuracy and length. Shaft flex is not so important with lofted woods (Spoons and Baffies) as the shorter shaft combined with loft is designed automatically to get the ball airborne.
Please bear in mind that hickory shafts used in woods up to 1930 were not as clearly categorised as shafts are today by having a label explaining flex and kick point. They are natural products and will have variations of flex which only adds to the spirit of the game. We endeavour to honestly describe all our clubs offered for sale but it is impossible to fully describe shaft flex other than Firm, Stiff, or Flexible.
So ideally purchase a lofted Driver (10° - 12°) or Brassie (12°-15°) for driving, together with a Spoon (15° - 18°) or Baffy (18° - 22°) for fairway play. If you have no love for long irons then add a Baffy instead to play those shots, plus this wood is very useful when presented with a shot from the semi rough just off the fairway.
When selecting irons for play it is important to know the correct loft of each iron in order to gauge the distance required. You will find a hickory club and modern equivalent table at the end of this article so that you can make a reasoned choice when buying irons.
Some hickory players prefer a 4° loft gap between each club similar to modern irons whereas other players prefer a 7° loft gap which means that they are able to carry less clubs in the bag, i.e. 6 to 8 clubs which was the norm in the 1920's. One degree of loft gap is equal to 3 yards (2.74 metres) of carry, so bear this in mind when calculating the number of irons for your set.
For example a mashie with 34 degrees of loft will carry the ball approximately 12 yards (11 metres) further compared to a mashie with 38 degrees of loft, or 12 yards (11 metres) less than a mid iron with 30 degrees of loft. So clubs with 7° loft gap will add or reduce the distance by approximately 21 yards (19 metres), i.e. using a mid iron with 28 degrees loft will carry the ball 21 yards (19 metres) further compared to a mashie with 36 degrees of loft. Naturally it depends on the average length you achieve using a certain club as to which club you select as some players are long hitters and others are short hitters using the same club so that is why it is important for you to select clubs that suit your game. The above carry lengths are only a guide and therefore not exact.
Please remember that lofts on clubs from this era were not standardised as today and the same model type can have different lofts. As an example over the years we have measured hundreds of hickory Mashies that vary between 30° to 45° so knowing the exact loft of each iron will help in building a perfect set.
Besides the standard names listed below, there were numerous other irons produced with odd names such as – Iron, Mid Mashie etc, but as long as you are aware of the loft then these can easily be fitted into your play set.
Cleeks, Driving, and No1 irons all have a similar loft spread, usually between 18° - 23°. So unless you are a good long iron player stay away from these and use a lofted wood or even a Mills lofted, hybrid style aluminium wood.
No2 and 3 irons. These will have between 20° - 25° of loft.
Mid Irons with a loft 25° - 28° are often the first iron in the bag after the woods.
Sammy (a round back Jigger) 24° - 26° are often used for chipping around the green as well as for long low shots are also found in this range. Quite a difficult club to master so invariably only used by a low handicap player.
Jiggers 30° - 34° are often used for chipping around the green as well as for long low shots are also found in this range.
Mashie 32° - 40°. The Mashie is the utility iron in the bag, hence that is why many hickory players carry two different styles of mashies in the bag with varying lofts.
Spade Mashies, Deep Face Mashies normally have 38° to 42°.
Mashie Niblick 40° to 46°. A great iron for approaching the green.
Finally the Niblick, the most lofted iron, can vary enormously in both loft and head size. Usually a standard model will have around 50° of loft, equivalent to a modern gap wedge/pitching wedge. But if you looking to play out of bunkers or high loft shots, it is advisable to buy one close to 55° of loft, quite hard to find but a joy to use!
There are many styles available from straight blade, wry neck, bent neck through to mallet heads and also from different head materials. Some are made with metal heads, some in aluminium and others in wood. It may well take a while to find one that suits, so be prepared to invest over a period of time by trying out different models as they all offer different feel.

The list of "athletic things I cannot do" is long enough to fill at least two floors of the New York Public Library, but the ability to move on after getting crushed probably would be at the top. I have no idea how the great athletes do this. You will hear people talk about how cornerbacks must have short memories, how great shooters have this ability to forget their misses, how the best golfers always think about the next shot and never the last shot.
"There's nothing you can do about that last shot," Tom Watson always says. "It's gone."
And I wonder: How? It's not GONE. It's there in the sand trap, or in the water, or in the woods. How do you make the anger, the regret, the disappointment disappear? When I play a tennis match, I find that I still think about this time I lost to someone named Manesh 30 YEARS AGO.
Tuesday night, Minnesota's Glen Perkins faced the New York Yankees in the ninth inning. The Twins had a two-run lead. The game meant nothing beyond pride to the Twins, and it meant a whole lot to the Yankees, and with two outs Perkins gave up a long home run Andruw Jones. I moved closer to the television and watched Perkins face the next batters. I wanted to see how he would respond to allowing that homer. I wanted to see how athletes move on.
The answer, at least in this case, has something to do with shoes.
* * *
Glen Perkins is having a terrific year again. People outside of Minnesota might not be aware of it because the Twins are terrible again, but last year Perkins emerged as one of the better relievers in the league. He struck out 65 in 61 2/3 innings, he posted a 2.48 ERA, the league slugged just .333 against him. This year, he has been even better -- a 73-16 strikeout-to-walk, the American League is hitting .227 against him, he has moved into the closer role and has saved 15.
It's pretty good stuff for a guy who was sent back to the minor leagues just two years ago (and had a 5.81 ERA in Class AAA). And it's wonderful for Glen Perkins, who is from Minnesota, a hometown kid, and is just an all-time great guy. He's someone who thinks a lot about baseball. He's sabermetrically inclined -- he loves breaking down the game to its numbers --and he's also someone who thinks a lot about how players react emotionally. I asked him how he likes being a closer, and he gave a great answer. He said that, on the one hand, he believes that the best relievers should be used in highest-leverage situations, whatever inning that happens to be. If the bases are loaded in the sixth, that might be the most important batter of the game, and the best reliever should be out there.
On the other hand, he has come to find that there's something about the closer that teammates respond to.
"I've come to see what it's like to be in that role," he says. "You really give everybody confidence-- the coaching staff, the players, the guys in the bullpen - if they know that if you can get a lead in the ninth inning, you will win the game. It does a lot for the guys. Last year, I was in the seventh inning, eighth inning, getting out of jams, and that was really exciting and that's obviously really important. But the, if you aren't in the game, if you aren't on the team, you don't see what closers mean to teammates. You do need to get outs in the seventh and eighth. But you need to get them in the ninth too."
* * *
Minnesota led the Yankees 5-3 going into the ninth inning Tuesday night. Perkins had gone through his warmup routine, same as always. He threw two two-seam fastballs to the arm-side (inside to left-handed hitters), and two four-seam fastballs to the opposite side. Then he threw two two-seam fastballs to the opposite side, and two-four seams fastballs to the arm side. Then he threw a slider to one side of the plate, a slider to the other side of the plate, and two more two-seam fastballs. Then he did it all again, only this time at full velocity. Twenty-four pitches.
"I can usually bang out the whole routine in one batter," he says. "It doesn't take long."
When he finished, and it was time, he ran to the mound. He would not remember how well he pitched in the bullpen. Such things don't matter. Sometimes, he feels terrible in the pen and then pitches great. And vice versa. "When you get out there on the mound, with the adrenaline rush, with the crowd, everything changes," he says. "It's nothing like the bullpen. When I pitch, I use the hitter a lot. How's he responding to the pitches? Is he late on the fastball? Is he looking at the slider? So it's not at all like pitching in the bullpen."
Once Perkins got to the mound, he looked over and saw that Curtis Granderson would be leading off. This is how Perkins likes to find out who is coming up. He doesn't look at the scoreboard. He doesn't want to know who he is going to the face until he gets out there. He threw his seven warmup pitches -- pitchers get eight warmups, but Perkins has found he prefers lucky seven -- and prepared to face Curtis Granderson.
* * *
"What was my first thought?" Perkins asks. "I guess it was that he's got 40 home runs. … I mean, I knew exactly what the Yankees wanted to do. They're down two, so they want to hit three solo home runs to win the game. That's the way their team plays. I figured everyone would come to the plate looking to hit one out.
"With Granderson, he's hit 40 home runs, and I'd bet that just about all 40 were pulled. So I'm thinking, he's not going to get a pitch that he can pull. It's fastballs away. But then, I'm not sure he will go chasing fastballs. So I think maybe I need to get in on him a little bit. Most of all, I want to get two strikes on him and then try to get him to hit a breaking ball the other way … or get it so he swings and misses."
Perkins' first pitch, a 95-mph two-seam fastball away, misses. "I know he's not going to just take the first pitch," Perkins says. "I can't just get ahead with a first-pitch fastball. I threw a pretty good pitch, he laid off."
Granderson then took a slider for a strike, and fouled off a 96-mph fastball for strike two. Perkins had his set-up. "I wanted to throw him a good slider, hopefully get him to chase."
Perkins threw the slider and Granderson grounded out to shortstop for the first out. But Perkins was not happy with the pitch. "I got a little more of the plate than I liked with it," he says. "I thought he got good wood on it. The ball sounded good coming off the bat. Maybe when you have 40 home runs, everything sounds loud off the bat. Anyway, Pedro [Florimon, the shortstop] made the play. I wouldn't say I got lucky; Pedro didn't have to make a great play. But I think I caught too much of the plate."
* * *
Russell Martin was next … he had already homered in the game. He is also hitting .206. "He swings as hard as he can on every pitch," Perkins says. "He doesn't really have a two-strike approach. He's like a lot of guys in their lineup -- they're down two, and they want to hit home runs."
First pitch, Perkins threw a 95-mph fastball, and Martin swung through it -- just barely got a piece of it. Perkins noticed how Martin was on the fastball, and so he threw a slider that buckled Martin and was called for a strike. "It was right down the middle," Perkins said. "My thought was, I don't know if I'm going to be able to throw another fastball by him. But I figured if I could throw a slider in the strike zone, he probably would take it. It worked out."
Ahead 0-2, Perkins threw the nastiest slider he had -- "it was a really good slider, had good depth on it" -- and Martin swung over it for strike three. "He did exactly what I was hoping," Perkins said. "My philosophy is, whoever comes up, I want to strike him out. And the best way to do it is on three pitches."
* * *
Raul Ibanez was schedule to hit next, but Perkins did not expect to see him because of the lefty-lefty matchup. The Yankees sent up Andruw Jones to pinch-hit. Perkins' reaction? "I forgot that Andruw Jones was on their team."
They had faced each other four times before -- Jones was 0-for-3 with a walk -- but Perkins did not think about that. He was not even sure he remembered the previous at-bats. He really does believe that it's good to do a lot of thinking OFF the field, but once you get on the field you should let instinct and athleticism take over. "I have a pretty blank head out there, which in a lot of ways can be good," he says. "In Cleveland (one week earlier), I just decided to throw a change-up to Carlos Santana. No plan. No nothing. It was like, 'I think I want to throw change-up here.' I just wanted to do it. And he hit a home run. Of course, he did. It's better to just throw."
Perkins and Jones battled for five pitches. The last -- on a 2-2 count -- was a slider that slipped out of Perkins' hand. Normally, when Perkins makes a mistake on a slider, he throws it into the ground ("I've hit a couple of guys on the foot this year," he says). But this one came out like a balloon. It was up, and it stayed up. When Perkins saw it on replay, Perkins found himself surprised that even a high-ball hitter like Jones would swing at it. But he did. And one thing Andruw Jones knows how to do is deposit high, floating sliders. It was the 434th homer of his career. The Yankees were within one run.
* * *
Now, we get to the heart of the matter: How do you respond to that? How do you put that home run out of your mind, get the nerves and bleak feelings out, put any sense of defeatism away?
"Well, there are a couple of things," Perkins says. "One, if I had executed the pitch I wanted, in the location I wanted, and he had hit a home run, it might have been a little harder to put behind me. Let's be honest, when that happens, you might get a little self doubt, you might start wondering, 'Am I tipping pitches? Are they picking something up on me? Is my stuff not good enough tonight?'
"But in this case, the ball fell out of my hand. He hit it hard, no question, but to me that's just one of those things."
The second thing, though, is even better. One of the great scenes in "Bull Durham," is when the pitching coach comes out to the mound to ask what's going on, and they tell him how they don't know what to get a teammate for a wedding present ("Candlesticks always make a nice gift, and, uh, maybe you can find out where she's registered and maybe a place setting or a silverware pattern. OK, let's get two!"). I always loved that not only because it's brilliantly funny but because I suspect games really are like that. Everyone in the crowd, in the press box, in the announcers' booth thinks that there's something serious or penetrating being said or thought when, in reality, the people on the field are thinking the same goofy thoughts you or I might think.
So, while I'm watching Perkins get ready and trying to come up with what sort of deep philosophical thoughts Perkins must be thinking, in this moment, something very different was happening.
See, Perkins thought Derek Jeter was coming up next. He prepared in his mind how to face Jeter … perhaps the one guy in the lineup who would NOT go up to the plate looking to hit one out. And as the batter approached, Perkins's head was down and he found himself looking at the batters' shoes. And he saw how they were black with a white toe, and it struck him, "Wow, Derek Jeter is wearing some incredibly ugly cleats tonight.
"And then I thought, wait a minute, Derek Jeter never wears cleats like that. And I looked up and said, 'Oh, that's not Jeter. I saw that it was Nix … I'm not even sure which one (Editor's note: It was Jayson). And that relaxed me. It was really weird, that little thought just made me forget about what happened. I mean, I think Nix is a pretty good hitter. But I like my chances against him."
Perkins threw Nix five straight fastballs -- every one of them 95 mph. At one point, Twins catcher Joe Mauer called for a slider, and Perkins shook him off. "I don't think I pitch in a pattern," Perkins says. "I'm a fastball, slider guy, and I think I'll throw either of those pitches at any time. … In this case, I really wanted to speed up his bat. I thought I might get one by him, but he fouled a couple off in a row, he was late, late.
"And then, I thought it was time to throw the slider. The worst thing that can happen to hitters, I think, is having the fastball go by you. That's never very manly. You don't want to be shown up that way. So, after he fouled off a couple of pitches, I thought he had to be looking fastball. And that's when I threw the slider.
It was the first slider he had thrown since the hanger Jones had crushed. But Perkins says he absolutely was not thinking about that. "I guess I could have thought something like, 'Oh, hey, better grip the ball better make sure it doesn't slip out," he says. "But I really wasn't. I just threw the slider. The home run was gone. I threw it, and he missed it by a pretty good bit."
Yes, that was strike three, and the Twins beat the Yankees. It didn't matter much for the Twins -- it was only their 65th victory of the season, they're battling with Cleveland to get out of the cellar of the American League Central. But on the other hand, every victory matters, especially late in the season, and especially against the Yankees.
"It's sort of like when we swept Detroit in that doubleheader," Perkins says. "It's like we got to ruin their day. That feels good. I guess it sounds weird to say that it feels good to make someone else miserable. But that's where we are. We're spoilers. It's nice to have someone else's day ruined."

Anger had built up, says shop owner on trial for murder
A BUSINESSMAN charged with murdering a customer over a 70c debt told gardai that anger had built up after similar and worse episodes and caused him to lose control.
The Central Criminal Court was hearing evidence of interviews given to gardai by the internet and call shop owner, who admits kicking the victim in the head and body.
Finglas man Noel Fegan died soon after the incident on May 20, 2011, outside e-Times on Dublin's Wellington Quay.
Zhen Dong Zhao (36), a Chinese national with an address at Jervis Street in Dublin, has pleaded not guilty to murdering the 40-year-old.
Detective Garda Desmond Rogers told the trial that he interviewed the accused at Pearse Street garda station the day after the alleged offence.
Mr Zhao said that Mr Fegan, who lived on Aughrim Street, had slapped him in the face and run away after Mr Zhao tried to prevent him leaving without paying for a 70c phone call.
Mr Zhao said that Mr Fegan had fallen after he ran out the door and that he had kicked him twice in the head and twice in the body while he was on the ground.
"This thing happened a number of times. I wanted to warn them not to do this," he said, agreeing that it had not happened with Mr Fegan previously.
He said he had never hit anyone back before this.
"It's only because the anger I built up from the past made me lose control," he said.
The trial continues before Mr Justice Patrick McCarthy.

Luke Whitmore - Law on the Web
If someone is spreading lies about you online, you may be able to take legal action against them for committing defamation. Defamation (also known as libel, or slander if spoken) is a false statement about a person which causes serious harm to their reputation.
However, there is a little more to defamation than someone saying something that isn't true. In order for a statement to be defamatory, it needs to meet the following requirements.
In order for a statement to be defamatory, it needs to be presented as an actual fact – something you could reasonably call a lie. If someone is just expressing an opinion, or saying something which is clearly not meant to be taken seriously or literally, this wouldn't count as libel (though of course it could be another offence).
For example, if you play in a band and someone says on Twitter that your music is bad, that isn't defamatory as they are simply stating a (presumably) honest opinion. However, if they claim that your songs are stolen from another band when they are actually your own original compositions, this might count as a defamatory statement.
It can also count if the defamation is merely implied – for example, if they wrote an article about bands who steal songs from other musicians, and included a picture of your band under the headline, this might count as defamation even if they do not directly state that you are such a band.
A statement will not be regarded as defamatory unless its publication has caused or is likely to cause serious harm to your reputation. For individuals this means that if as a result of false publication people's opinions of you have worsened you may be able to pursue a claim even if you have not suffered a financial loss.
However, if you run a body trading for profit (e.g. a company or a business), harm will not be regarded as serious unless it has caused or is likely to cause serious financial loss".
For example, if you run a company which people have been boycotting due to a rumour someone has spread about you on the internet, resulting in financial loss to your company, you may have a claim for defamation.
Of course, if you bring an accusation of defamation against someone, it is likely that they will have their excuses for why they said it. There are only a few actual defences which will work to defend them, however. Some of the defences are discussed below.
Probably the most obvious defence someone can use when it comes to defamation is that what they said was actually true. They will need to prove that this is the case in order to use this defence, but if they can do so then they have demonstrated than their statement was not defamatory.
If the statement in question included some things which were true and some which were false, this can still stand as a defence if the things which were false weren't bad enough to play a substantial part in causing serious harm to your reputation.
As mentioned above, a statement of genuine opinion won't count as defamatory, if the opinion appears grounded in fact and is an opinion that a reasonable person could hold.
However, if you can show that the statement was not genuinely their opinion, they will not be able to defend themselves on these grounds.
It is a defence to defamation if the perpetrator can show that the statement complained of was a statement on a matter of public interest and that they reasonably believed that publishing the statement was in the public interest.

Sexuality is significant in promoting happiness and satisfaction in enduring romantic relationships. But how can relatively brief and infrequent sexual experiences be so important for enduring romantic relationships? The answer seems to be less connected to the "hard-core" sexual activities, and in particular, orgasms, than to the "soft," affectionate experiences like kissing and cuddling that are associated with them.
"Charm is a glow within a woman that casts a most becoming light on others." John Mason Brown
Sexual afterglow is the good feeling that lingers after pleasurable sexual experiences—a kind of intense shining that is both attractive and infectious.
Research suggests that it is sexuality afterglow more than orgasm that determines how people feel about their sexual partner. Although sexual afterglow is less intense than orgasm, it plays a greater role in enduring romantic satisfaction. Spouses who have experienced stronger afterglow report higher levels of marital satisfaction both at baseline and over time compared to spouses who have not. It appears, then, that sexual afterglow is a mechanism through which sex promotes pair bonding (Meltzer et al., 2017).
After-sex affectionate activities:
"My married lover was cut off emotionally the moment he ejaculated. The speed by which he left me emotionally and physically was incredible. He actually left the bed to drink something and did not return to the bed." A divorcee
Studies indicate that romantic partners view the time after intercourse as important for bonding and intimacy. Indeed, frequent physical affection, such as kissing, cuddling, and hugging, have been found to increase the duration and the quality of the relationship. The value of these behaviors is particularly high after sex since they confirm that the relationship bond is deeper than superficial, brief physical act. After-sex affectionate activities prolong the duration of sexuality, thereby enabling it to have a greater impact on the relationship. It seems that after-sex affectionate activities are crucial to sexual afterglow and that they play a more important role in sexual and relationship satisfaction than foreplay or the duration of intercourse (Muise, et al., 2014).
Along these lines, it has been found that, within cohabiting marriages and romantic relationships, increased kissing significantly decreases total cholesterol and perceived stress, and significantly increases relationship satisfaction (Floyd et al., 2009).
Orgasms and sexual afterglow:
"No woman gets an orgasm from shining the kitchen floor." Betty Friedan
We can distinguish between romantic intensity, which is typically a snapshot of a momentary peak of passionate desire, and romantic profundity, which goes beyond mere romantic intensity and refers to the lover's broader and more enduring attitude (Ben-Ze'ev, 2019).
Applying this distinction to the sexual realm, we may say that orgasm is the most typical example of sexual intensity, whereas sexual afterglow and after-sex affectionate activities help to deepen and extend the sexual bond. Indeed, in a study of newlywed couples, sexual afterglow remains for about 48 hours after sex, and those with stronger afterglow had higher overall marital satisfaction. No wonder that it is the afterglow, rather than the number of orgasms, which best correlates to the length and quality of the relationship (Muise, et al., 2014; Danovich, 2017).
The French famously refer to orgasm as "la petite more," or "the little death." Once orgasm is reached, it is, in a sense, the end of the experience preceding it, and hence, it is a little death. Along these lines, it has been claimed that "All animals are sad after sex." These ideas reflect the momentary impact of orgasm. However, once after-sex affectionate activities are added, and then supplemented by promoting romantic activities, the momentary peak can initiate a process that enhances enduring love.
When it rains, it pours for a long time and everywhere:
"While having an affair I was sexually aroused and began to notice other men noticing me. Even my husband was more attracted to me. When it rains, it pours." A married woman
We have seen that sexual afterglow promotes enduring, high-quality romantic relationships. However, afterglow also attracts other people to the individual's radiant sexual arousal. Thus, one study found that the merest interaction with a member of the opposite sex can bring a glow to a woman's face. Even non-sexual social interactions with men caused a noticeable rise in the temperature of a woman's face, without them even noticing it (Hahn et al., 2012).
The pleasant sexual afterglow involves the wish to have more sex; this attitude, in turn, attracts other people to this person. Sexual glow is a kind of spell emitted by the individual that hits other people, who are attracted to the individual much as insects and butterflies are attracted to light.
Sexual glowing experiences seem to make sexually rich people even richer. Those who enjoy sex are more likely to enjoy it more, thereby enhancing their current romantic relationship. However, since sexual glowing attracts people besides one's partner, it might well ruin low-quality relationships.
Concluding remarks:
Eleanor Roosevelt once quipped that "A woman is like a tea bag - you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water." The phenomenon of sexual glow indicates that Eleanor was not entirely correct. You can feel the love of women (or men for that matter) not merely when they are in intense, hot romantic experiences, but also – and perhaps more so – before and after being in such hot experiences.
Sexual interactions are important in enduring romantic love since they involve more than the momentary peak of an orgasm. Even more important for such love are the affectionate activities associated with an orgasm that last longer and express more genuinely the partner's loving heart. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, we can say that orgasm is not the end of love. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning of love.

Mirrored Images & Custom Print Templates in Lightroom
Mirrored, or reflected, images are a guilty pleasure that can often lead to surprisingly satisfying and visually effective results. They are very easy to create in Photoshop using basic layering skills, but they can also be created in Lightroom using a combination of Virtual Copies and customizing some of the existing Print Templates that ship with the program. In this episode of TheFIX, host Seán Duggan shows how to create mirrored or reflected images in Lightroom, how to proof them in Photoshop, and how to apply simple retouching when necessary, or modify the custom print templates in Lightroom so that no retouching is required. The first six images below are simple image mirrors. In the final two, only part of the original image mirror was used as an element in a composite.

Interview with Dr. Albert Bonfil, Cognitive Behavioral Therapist
Dr. Albert Bonfil is an accomplished researcher and instructor and author of the blog, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. He has been involved in research on evidence based assessment and treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder and has presented his work at the annual conference of the Western Psychological Association, the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies, and the Harbor UCLA Scientific Sessions on Mental Health.
In this interview, Dr. Bonfil shares his own experience concerning the encounters necessary to advance in the psychology profession. His own career serves as a perfect model of one person who, early in life, found a passionate interest and followed his desire for more knowledge in the area of psychology.
What event or series of events led you to pursue psychology as a professional choice?
I had been exposed to mindfulness meditation practice as a teenager, and had experienced a profound shift in my life as a result of my meditation practice. I knew I wanted a career that had something to do with this, and I seriously considered joining a Buddhist monastery in India. After some time in India, I realized it wasn't quite the right direction for me. I had been aware of the work Jon Kabat-Zinn had been doing with mindfulness-based stress reduction, and I decided I wanted to be a part of this exciting work. I realized in order to fully be engaged in helping others develop a mindfulness practice, I would have to earn an advanced degree, so ultimately I chose the PsyD route.
Name 1 or 2 specific challenges you have faced in your career in psychology and the steps you took to overcome them?
The biggest challenge was the decision to spend another five years of my life in school. I was worried that I would be postponing my life for another five years. It wasn't until I spoke to a friend of mine who happened to be a therapist, that I realized those five years would pass anyway, and better to spend them doing something I found meaningful. It was one of the best decisions I've made.
Can you give us an example of an interesting case or project that have worked on and your role in helping to achieve a positive outcome?
There are a number of successes that I can point to as reasons why I continue to do what I do, but one stands out in particular. The was one person I worked with, who had a deep impact on how I view what I do. A few years ago I worked with someone who had been in and out of hospitals for suicide attempts and self-harm. After a while, he had given up on himself, and applied for and received permanent disability. When he was referred to me, even the referring clinician at the inpatient unit seemed to have little hope for this man getting better. Six months after our first session, he had managed to stay out of the hospital for about four months straight, had gotten off disability, and was working full-time while completing his bachelor's degree. There are many reasons this case stands out to me. The most striking thing about this case was how far the individual was able to come in so short a time. The main thing I took away from this experience however, was the profound impact of me not giving up had on his own sense of what he expected of himself.
Can you describe what a typical day looks like for you or the activities you spend the most time on at work?
I see about six clients a day, and spend the rest of the time writing notes and making calls to people who are interested in CBT, and find me on my website, CogBTherapy.com. When I am inspired after a session, I might write up a blog post about a techniques I had success with, and post it to the website. The majority of my time is spent in direct service with clients, for whom I provide cognitive behavioral therapy or a mindfulness-based therapy.
What aspects of your work do you enjoy the most?
I am often amazed by the effectiveness of the evidence-based interventions I use. Sometimes I see people who have been struggling for decades, and after just three or four months of targeted work, have a completely different experience of life. One client I recently ended with had struggled with panic disorder for over 20 years. When we were ending treatment, he was incredulous that we had solved such a chronic, debilitating problem after so short a time. Seeing people fully and vitally engage in life after helping them make a few small changes in behavior is always immensely rewarding.
What advice would you give to new graduates for getting hired after graduation?
I think it's a little late to start thinking about getting hired after graduation. Every job I have had since finishing my training, from core faculty to staff psychologist, were the direct result of having put my best foot forward during school, and making a positive impression on my peers, professors, and supervisors. Numerous opportunities have fallen into my lap since finishing school, and I have even had the luxury of being able to turn down a few positions. This is only because I was always fully aware that the people who were my instructors or classmates would someday be my colleagues. This attitude helped me treat every relationship as a professional relationship.
What is the key strength you bring to your career and how would you advise new graduates to mine their own strengths to further their careers?
My greatest strength is my level of training and expertise in CBT and mindfulness based therapies. The reason I have this is because I consistently chose training opportunities that would enhance these skills. Although I encourage my students to find generalist training opportunities, I also strongly encourage them to find something they enjoy, and get lots of supervision and training around it. That way they are more marketable, and are able to provide high quality treatment with specific populations, problems, or treatments early on in their careers.

This magnificent photo of 78 collector Joe Bussard is one of my new favourites. Firstly, everyone wants a wall that large. When I went house hunting, 'vinyl relistate' (as my wife would call it) became my biggest concern. Will I find a place that has a nice 'nook' for my collection? Will my floor boards hold that much weight? Yes, I even got my home inspector to inform me of the load bearing walls to attaching my shelving to. For many collectors, our record room is quite important. It's how we display and how we organize. Some choose to have their space utilitarian - just holding records. Others have fancy cabinets and plush rugs. Regardless, a record room is a portal into the collectors mind. Visiting a collectors space is a sacred journey.
Photographer and owner of 'Dust and Grooves' Eilon Paz is having a Photo Exhibition with this in mind. Eilon has visited notable collectors around the world and photographed them in their space. As a fellow collector, I've enjoyed learning about what makes these collectors continue. Each interview offers deep insight in the hobby, ultimately answering larger questions about a collectors compulsion.
When asking Eilon about his personal collection, he responds ' I was always into music and I was always into vinyl, but I'm not such a dedicated vinyl collector myself. I love going digging for records, but I would always go records that usually are not more than $5-10. This is why I really admire and am obsessed about the people I document.'
Eilon mentions that the music is often a bonus from his brief encounters with each of his subjects.
'It's first of all about meeting different people from all over the world with different life styles. Sometimes it's a short acquaintance, sometimes I make friends. One day I could be drinking tea in a suburb of London listening to Rockabilly music with one of the world's most appreciated collectors, and on the other end of the spectrum I could be sitting down with a retired truck driver in a muggy basement in Istanbul listening for the first time to some Turkish kitsch sung by this phenomenal transvestite entertainer. I'm always attracted to the actual personality, so I get to meet these characters though the music. That's the main reward. The music that comes with it is a bonus. '

Herr Doktor's drill program, admission questionnaire[edit]
- Okay, kiddo, first of them all, talk a little about yourself:
- How old are you? No, I'm not dismissing you if you are bellow the age of consent, but that's an information I have to bear in mind when looking for cultural references. For instance, you may be an old scoundrel like me that have seen Speed Racer and Space Pirate on release. And had enough age to let my hair grow and use checkered shirts when Nirvana has arrived.
- Which are your favorite humoristic programs? I'm talking about both TV, movies, comics and books.
- By the way, do you know Mel Brooks, Monthy Python, Gore Vidal and Douglas Adams? They all seem to be MAJOR references over here.
- Do you consider yourself to be a nerd or a geek? 'Cause I am one. Actually, I was a nerd until I learned how to dress myself up, hear the right music, and by so get to the chicks. Now I'm one of the later, hehehe.
- Have in mind that I cannot teach you humor. I just can help you avoiding overused jokes and other little stuff you have not to do.

Herr Doktor's drill program, field training 1[edit]
All right, grasshopper, let's start. First thing: you're sixteen and at this age interweb speaking is considered acceptable. That's a generation barrier, I guess. Up here, ALWAYS use correct - not necessarily formal - English. Even - or better - specially when you're talking to other users. That's the key to earning other users's respect, and respect will help you not feeling n00b anymore. Also, any article written with lolz, rulz, roxes and u's have an IMMENSE chance of being deleted.
Now let's talk about article survival. I've noticed a red link to an article in your user page. Was it deleted? -- herr doktor needsAscalpel [scream!] 20:31, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
- It wasn't deleted, its just an idea I had that I was hoping to write an article on. I was having fun the past couple days looking at other people's pages and hadn't had any particular inspiration on how to make what I think is a good idea into a great article. I may as well start tonight. Leatherboundbooks 22:04, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, in that case, I have a hint for you. Create the article in your user space instead of the main space. This prevents the article from being deleted while you are still working on it. It works like this: browse your user page, then type "/" and the name of your article after the slash. For example, the one listed on your user page will appear like this: "http://www.uncyclopedia.org/User:Leatherboundbooks/Sea Force One". Spaces are permitted. Now press "go" at your browser and choose to create the page when asked. When you think the article is finished, simply move it to the main space with the move tab atop the page. Capisce? -- herr doktor needsAscalpel [scream!] 22:14, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
- Oh cool ill move it in a sec. atm its a skeleton of what's to be (no pics, more quotes + jokes) and it roughly outlines my ideas for the concept. Leatherboundbooks 22:39, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, now since you've created your article at the main space and moved it to your user space, list your own article (the one at the main space, not the one at your user space) on QVFD with the comment "pointless redirect", so the admins will remove it while you're still working at your user space. It's just a question of etiquette. -- herr doktor needsAscalpel [scream!] 22:44, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
- k done.Leatherboundbooks 23:00, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
- btw, what's the best way to search for an image instead of constantly uploading new ones? The upload page only shows a massive list or a search engine that goes nowhere for me- maybe im just not sure how to use it. Leatherboundbooks 00:11, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- Hmmm... that's quite hard. You may look up into articles you think that could have the image you're looking for, specially if it's a famous one. But normally we simple google for the image and upload it. As this is a humor site, we have no issues with copyright violations, as wikipedia has. Just mark the article as a "Stolen" or "Copyright violation" when you're uploading it. -- herr doktor needsAscalpel [scream!] 00:16, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- The Article is complete! At least for now. probably will add some templates, maybe a category and certainly the old uncyclopedian tradition of beginning every article with 473 quotes. for now Ive got a little hwk to catch up on and even some chores. hopefully youll review it before it gets huffed.
- edit: before i go, I thought to myself, how does one put a picture on the left margin? its done it automatically for me once before (on Han Solo) but im not sure how. Leatherboundbooks 00:37, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- Try this:
[[Image:YourImage.jpg|thumb|left|XXXpx|Your silly comment here]]
- XXX is the image width in pixels. Silly comment is the image caption. Thumb is for the image box to appear. As for your article, we will discuss it further and, when you move it to main space, you will place it on pee review. --herr doktor needsAscalpel [scream!] 00:46, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, sorry, now I've noticed you asked me for the left margin. I usually don't place images on the left because they screw with the subsections and topics. But that's up to you. -- herr doktor needsAscalpel [scream!] 00:50, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- It appears that this time the left margin works w/o making the text shift all over the place. anyway, I think Im ready to talk about the content of the article itself. Leatherboundbooks 01:08, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Herr Doktor's drill program, field training 2[edit]
Fine, kid. I've read your article and don't feel offended from what I will tell you. You have made a (fine) piece of Random Humor. It's called this way because you could change the names of the personalities involved without changing the basic premise - if there is one between all of the insane nonsense. Anachronism is not bad per se, but to make this a piece of adult satire, you have to link your idea with something more life-like. Or, in case of Han Solo, fiction-like. I advise you to brainstorming until you find some linking between George Washington, Harrison Ford and Han Solo. When you have a complete idea, fill the blanks in the history that leave a "plain nonsense, ha" sensation and instead you will get a "my good, how insane! Hahahahaha!" sensation. Got me? By the way, your article is in no way sub-standard, so you may place it on Pee Review now and get other person's opinion. Just remember that the process is not automated: you will have to replace the link with your article's link - no matter it is still at you user space - and place a signed comment bellow. Any comment, as "my second article, please be kind". Roger that? -- herr doktor needsAscalpel [scream!] 01:42, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- It's definately a piece of random humor - thats indisputable. for clarification though, did you read Han Solo or Harrison Ford I? They add some consistency to my alternate history of the American Revolution, however not much. At some point, hopefully my history of the American Revolution will be accepted as the truth. Leatherboundbooks 02:26, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- It's a personal opinion, boy. I personally dislike random humor, and that's another reason for you using the pee review. Your mentor is somewhat limited, sorry to say that... hehehe. But VFH-grade articles are generally - just generally, not as an absolute rule - not random. Advice you want, this gives you me, young Skywakjer. You're free to dismiss this Yoda anytime you want. ;) -- herr doktor needsAscalpel [scream!] 02:32, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- anyway, im gonna sit on the history for a little while and brainstorm on some other articles to write. I do appreciate the help so far so keep it up. Leatherboundbooks 03:47, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
New Article Idea![edit]
- So I have another idea for my next article. basically i toyed with the idea of a how to on avoiding unnecessary feminine attention - basically getting rid of a naggy girl. Then I thought it would be funnier to make an article called "howto:impress a girl" as it would be an enlightening subject for the stereotype uncyclopedian, with a funny twist if you will Leatherboundbooks 02:33, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- I think there's already articles about getting to the chicks but running away from the chicks is far funnier - and original. Great idea, kiddo. What about, hmmm, HowTo:Run Away From Fat Ladies? Is that you have in mind? -- herr doktor needsAscalpel [scream!] 04:10, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- Man, you're quick! Now I've realized that you've already created the article. It's giggling funny - what, coming from me, you really can consider a compliment: I'm adept of irony, not open sarcasm, maybe you could have noticed this from my own articles (well, with some exceptions). Put this one at Pee Review as well. It may take some time until it's reviewed. If you're wondering why I'm not helping you with your articles step-by-step, well, I'm your mentor, not your critic. I know how can I be harsh when criticizing other people's works. But I will comment on other person's reviews you got from your articles. Just know you're doing fine, okay? Ah, and what about the fat chicks idea? I think this is more promising. -- herr doktor needsAscalpel [scream!] 04:22, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- haha, i like the idea. havent actually gotten a chance to log since the other night since my internet was acting funny but i just got the article in. Im thinking there will be further edits to that one as i think of more funny ways to scare a girl off completely. anyway, i think my connection died just as i was entering it to be reviewed so ill go check. thanks Leatherboundbooks 02:31, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
That's What She Said[edit]
Hiya. You reviewed my article on Pee Review, and since you gave it such a good rating, I thought you might like to know it's a candidate for Featured Article-ness. Cheers.--Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 19:28, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Your friendly field officer[edit]
Heya. I noticed you have moved this article to the main space. So, some things about HowTos:
- Naming conventions: Uncyclopedia is case-sensitive. The HowTo part should be exactly like this, with the capital "T".
- Naming 2: articles start with all first letters upper case. The article's name start after the colon, without space. So the correct name should be HowTo:Impress a Girl. Move it and put the old link at QVFD (unless there's something already pointing to it and you can't correct that linkage).
The following is optional:
- Recent: edit the Template:Recent so people will know about your article. That's your right as an uncyclopedian.
- Recent 2: as this is a howto also edit the HowTo:Recent for the same reason.
If you can do it with some discretion, you can mildly, ahnn, whore your article, that is, talk about it to other users. It's very unpolite - and NOOBISH - starting a topic on the subject, but you may tell your friends here or mention it on forums - if you think it fits the discussion. -- herr doktor needsAscalpel [scream!] 02:39, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
- Oh cool! I noticed HowTo:Run Away From Fat Ladies while adding mine to the recent page. nice! anyway i was thinking about making a sarcastic unnews article about a noob getting pwned and then crying about it, so he went to some forums and cried about it- so the giver of the pwnage decided he'd stop but of course to make it funny the article is going to have to take itself very seriously. only problem i can see to this article is that it may have been done before as it isnt the most original idea, i just think i can probably do it better. whatcha think?? Leatherboundbooks 00:03, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- atm my article is under UnNews:Noob Gets PWNED whats the unnews policy on reviewing? Leatherboundbooks 01:06, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- Same as for any article, place it under PeeReview. What I can say from now is that it's a nice article and it will surely survive. Maybe it lacks a spark big enough to send it to VFH, but be patient. I took me 7 articles and 5 months before my first featuring and I was lucky in finding an easy subject. Alas, Fat Ladies is in VFH in case you found it that funny. Don't give me a sympathy vote, vote if you find the article funny itself. Sympathy votes are common, but still dishonest. -- herr doktor needsAscalpel [scream!] 10:50, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Probable new page[edit]
- I noticed there is no article on Stonewall Jackson yet, so Im gonna start a misinformation page under my user: area and will work on it little by little. Also, I could use some help on making info-boxes if you don't mind. Thanks! Leatherboundbooks 00:54, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
- In its current state my newest article is sadly unfunny. If anything I was experimenting with templates and all, and made the most of the preview page button (I usually forget and end up making 10 consecutive edits) anyway, at this point im feeling relatively uninspired. be back later Leatherboundbooks 03:24, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Assault rifle training[edit]
So you can't wait to kill some Krauts, dontcha? What, Japs? Okay, kiddo, here we go:
- QVFD - use for new pages that completely sucks. One-liners, vanity pages, kidspeak, internet-speak;
- ICU - use for new pages with a promising concept, yet badly done - ignore the "concept" for one-liners. They are always QVFD;
- VFD - for older pages that really sucks. It's a little complicated. You have both to put the VFD (template) at the page and open an entry for the article on VFD voting page. Watch out! Always look if there's a VFD "slot". They allow a maximum of 15 articles and will ban you if you add the 16th. (Now you are probably asking yourself: "there's a huge colorful textbox saying that at that page... who could be so stupid to ignore it?"... ahem...).
- Rewrite - for older pages that may have one or two jokes worth preserving or with a vital theme - no matter how stupid USA page could be, we just must have a page on USA.
Now reload... aim... -- herr doktor needsAscalpel [scream!] 23:58, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
- Oooooooh I understand now. Somehow we both ended up reviewing the same page for some reason. Thanks for the suggestion, earlier I thought the VFD thing was = NRV which, apparently, is no longer in use?
Anyway, thanks! Leatherboundbooks 01:09, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Okay, that involves a little g(r)eek coding. First, create your sig as a page in your user space: . Edit it, adding images, changing colors and links. Feel free to steal code from other user's sigs, including mine. What you have learned from creating templates will work for sigs, but there's some weird coding for special effects, as linking from images or overriding the custom underline link. Hint: steal! Also don't use large images - the maximum height is about 14 pixels, elseways your sig will create ugly gaps between text lines.
When you're done, enter your "preferences" page (link at the top left corner). Mark the "raw signatures" checkbox and paste to "Nickname" box above:
- {{SUBST:nosubst|User:LeatherBoundBooks/sig}}
Save these preferences. Voilá. Custom sig! Now you feel a little bit less n00bish. -- herr doktor needsAscalpel [scream!] 11:05, 30 April 2007 (UTC) Insert non-formatted text here

Plus, that would cause an endless chain of thank you's that would only terminate in one of the involved parties' deaths.

But is it rich Corinthian leather binding?[edit]
Hey man... I've never actively persued soliciting for VFH votes, but I'm about to get the Darwin rule for the third time (its a vicious beast). I figured that you liked Bowtie, maybe you'd dig Did I really move to LA?. I wouldn't mind some against votes, even; I just don't like stalling out. Thanks for your consideration buddy. :) --THINKER 00:04, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

The diamonds create the image of the Milky Way galaxy as seen from a distant point looking in toward Earth. The mundane and domestic is elevated by a cosmic representation. The title originates from the astronomical writings of Carl Sagan, referencing both the insignificance and importance of human life on Earth.
