Semper Fidelis distinguishes the Marine Corps bond from any other. It goes beyond teamwork—it is a brotherhood that can always be counted on. Latin for "always faithful," Semper Fidelis became the Marine Corps motto in 1883. It guides Marines to remain faithful to the mission at hand, to each other, to the Corps and to country, no matter what. Becoming a Marine is a transformation that cannot be undone, and Semper Fidelis is a permanent reminder of that. Once made, a Marine will forever live by the ethics and values of the Corps. In addition to Semper Fidelis, Marine Corps Officers also embrace the phrase Ductos Exemplo, "to lead by example," the motto of Officer Candidates School (OCS). Instructors look for candidates who display self-reliance, discipline and responsibility. Desire and motivation to lead Marines are deciding factors in an officer's success.
Between Marines
In the Marine Corps, traveling the path of selflessness is not a journey made alone. Once a Marine, Always a Marine means those who earn the Eagle, Globe and Anchor are forever connected to our family of warriors—while in uniform or long afterward. Starting the day young men and women first earn our title and the right to call themselves Marines, they take their place in an extremely proud heritage, and will remain part of it forever. Ours is a family that looks after its own in every way. Your title is your membership into a brotherhood of warriors. Those who stand by you in battle will never leave your side. Semper Fidelis means always faithful, and always able to count on your fellow Marines—while in the Marine Corps and for a lifetime.
To Marines
Every Marine makes a commitment to our nation. In return, the Marine Corps makes an equal commitment to every Marine: we will protect our own by continuing to improve the quality of life for our Marines and their families. Those who earn our title also earn our commitment. Marines are superbly trained for the missions that define the Corps. Off the battlefield, the Marine Corps provides financial support and educational opportunities to help Marines achieve the American Dream they help to defend. Semper Fidelis is a pact that has no expiration. As much as service in the Marine Corps ensures the future of our nation, it also creates a better future for those who serve.
To our Nation
The Marine Corps exists to ensure the future of our nation. Therefore, we must not only build outstanding warriors, but upstanding citizens as well. We make Marines capable of making a difference—for our nation and themselves. While in uniform and while in the community, Marines live by our core values—honor, courage and commitment. For those who wish to serve their country and their communities, the path of honor beckons brightly. From Fortune 500 Company CEOs to famous public figures and prominent members of society everywhere, many attribute their success to the solid foundation instilled in the Marine Corps. The courage, self-confidence and leadership gained in the Marine Corps have a lasting effect on our Marines and the communities they serve.
Core Values
Honor, courage and commitment, the core values of the Marines, define how every Marine in the Corps thinks, acts and fights. Throughout the austere battlefields of the 21st Century, every Marine in the Corps must be confident they can rely on each other to think, act and lead. In the chaos of battle, character matters.
Commitment to the Corps
Commitment to the Corps
Marines pledge themselves completely to the Constitution of the United States. From the day they first raise their hand and throughout their honorable service, the oath every Marine takes is a promise and a reminder of their commitment to defend our nation and its interests.
I, [Name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the Orders of the Officers appointed over me, according to the regulations and the uniform code of military justice. So help me God.
Marines pledge themselves completely to the Constitution of the United States. From the day they first raise their hand and throughout their honorable service, the oath every Marine takes is a promise and a reminder of their commitment to defend our nation and its interests.
I, [Name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which i am about to enter. So help me God.
A code of personal integrity, honor guides those who do the right thing when no one is looking. It is not only a duty, but also a distinction, as those who possess honor are held in honor. It's found in one's beliefs, but exhibited through one's actions. Marines are held to the highest of standards, ethically and morally. Marines are expected to act responsibly in a manner befitting the title they've earned.
When other principles are tested, it's courage that prevents them from crumbling. It isn't ignoring fear, but being stronger than fear. Courage is the guardian of all other values. It is there when times are toughest, when difficult decisions have to be made. It takes the form of mental, physical and ethical strength, and is found in the backbone of every Marine.
Commitment is the spirit of determination found in every Marine. It is what compels Marines to serve our nation and the Corps, and to continue on when others quit. Commitment doesn't take breaks and it cannot be faked. It measures and proves one's desire, dedication and faithfulness. Becoming a United States Marine represents the highest level of commitment.
Ductus Exemplo
Marines put honor, courage and commitment to the test with Ductus Exemplo, Latin for "Lead by Example." These core principles aren't just taught at recruit training—they're embodied everyday by Marine leaders. On and off the battlefield, absolute trust in Corps leadership helps all Marines decisively and effectively face down the threats of our time.

text: In chapter 370 it was suggested that Uchiha Madara was the cause of Kyuubi summoning.I highly doubt it but it would sorta explain how the Bijuus came to be other than them just magically popping up out of nowhere. It would also open the question of who summon the rest of them.Maybe we might get to know about the ninjas that lived before the 1st Hokage,back to the point of this thread.Madara = Tobi why do I think so, Orochimaru had his body transfer jutsu,maybe Madara had his own jutsu that would keep him alive. The 3rd Hokage was a old man even before Naruto was born,and the day Naruto was born the Kyuubi was summoned and since Madara might have been the cause of his summoning it's possible that he was alive back then.Even if Madara isn't Tobi can you explain how Tobi has his powers.

Classy looking, day-to-night shoe...
"Square feet won't really love this shoe, but if you're willing to suffer a little then I'd say go for it. The shoe has a decent height heel and the platform sole helps to avoid the "toppling forward without alcohol" effect. The snakeskin pattern says it all as it's the go to pattern at the moment, but I have to say that this shoe will definitely make the day-to-night transition really easily. It's the type of shoe that looks great with business professional, business casual, casual and nite-out clothes. Pretty good all around - I only gave it 4 stars because it pinches some at the toes. Again, square feet won't love this shoe, but they will like it a whole bunch."

The in-between season is officially upon us. The weather is too cold to don full-on spring wear, but the fall pieces that have been on heavy rotation are starting to feel a little stale. Enter airy layers in springy neutrals (à la 3.1 Phillip Lim) paired with light-wash jeans. It's a look that's cozy enough to brave winter's final weeks, with the much-needed refreshing most wardrobes could use right about now.
Favorite brands from Hudson Jeans to 7 For All Mankind are turning out sandblasted denim this season. Flare jeans (like our current fave, the MiH Marrakesh jean) in a sun-bleached wash channel the '70s style that has dominated the runways of late, but this look isn't limited to city-chic bohemians. Slouchy boyfriend jeans by Current/Elliott denim are casual-cool with an ivory Vince sweater and rugged flat boots, while Goldsign skinnies feel cleanly classic with pointy-toe pumps and an Equipment blouse.

Spro John Crews Little John 50 Crankbait 1/2oz
When John Crews designed the Spro Little John Crankbait he wanted a bait that would allow him cover shallow 3-5ft water quickly and effectively. Crews also wanted a durable yet sensitive bait that could be cast long distances with great accuracy. The Spro Little John Crankbait does all this and more.
The Little John comes equipped with a computer chip board lip. This style of lip is extremely durable and sensitive. The silent tungsten weight transfer system provides the distance and casting accuracy for this small profile bait. The lip design of the Little John gives it a tight wobble but enough action to aid in cover deflection. The tight wobble of the Little John allows you to cover water quickly and effectively. As with all Spro baits the Little John is equipped with sticky sharp Gamakatsu treble hooks.

Customer Reviews
Comments: This is the most reliable crank bait I have ever fished. If the water temp is anywhere below 68 and above freezing this thing will absolutely catch fish. I used one red craw little john for 6 years before it starting takin on water. Love the things. Only issue is that the hooks get hung together but i have found that if i change the hooks i cannot get the same depth out of the bait. I'm not complaining though because this thing has caught me a lot of fish.
From: Catlin: Russellville, AL 10/31/16
Comments: Great product. Out fished both my grandad & my friend. Was throwing it off of rock points in about 2-6 ft of water & in mid to late march. Crank bait runs true also caught over 30 fish on it. After I caught those me and my buddy went to get him one. He got his and his sank a little bit while mine would still float. Also he said his did not run true but I agree with those who say every crank bait needs to be tuned. Gr8 bait! Will be buying more of these soon!
From: Brycen: Kerr Lake, VA 4/8/16
Comments: I was a very firm believer in a strike king KVD squarebill but man was I missing out. The action and wobble on this thing is unbelievable! Definitely worth the money.
From: Will: Auburn, AL 4/7/16
Comments: I really like this crankbait. In cold water situations if can fish very slow, while keeping a good depth in the channel. Great size, good terminals & effective colors.
From: Tyler: Bucks, CO 12/6/15
Comments: Great bait, caught them consistent on Lake Chick in Tn, its the best crank I have used in a long time.
From: Fatswarcat: Paradox, PA 4/29/15
Comments: All of my Spro CBs have run true right out of the box; are made of good quality components (hooks, split rings, etc.); and the paint seems to be durable. Oh, one or 2 cranks have teeth scratches, but the finish overall is still great. Oddly enough, I have not caught a fish on the Cell Mate color. All my fish have come from the Nasty Shad and Blue/Chartreuse, but especially Spooky Nasty. The bill deflects off the stuff really well; I've had to get the Little John unhung only once. It really does feather through the brush/trees quite well. And the bills on my LJ CBs are still attached and intact, even after digging them in the rocks.
From: Edwin: Nashville, TN 4/19/15
Comments: love this crank bait. Cell mate caught me my biggest bass. Only problem is the hooks. After I replaced with some owners it was a dream. Great crank bait. Gama hooks suck.
From: Derrick: Auburn, AL 10/17/14
Comments: I really like this lure. Question for you all though... Has anyone had issues with the bill being cock-eyed, leaning off to the left or right (not square with the vertical line of the bait? Honestly in the past I've never looked at that, but I purchased several recently & glanced at the front. It was way off on that one, then the next one. Other 2 were ok. Spro sent me 2 new ones & one of those was off kilter. I'm embarrassed to call them again. Bought more locally to see, & danged if it hasn't taken me about 6 of each color (2) to come up with 2 each that have a reasonably straight bill (& still haven't quite got there on one of them). I don't think I'm being overly picky on this one, but I'm all ears to your perspective on it... Thanks!
From: Midwest Basser: KS 3/17/14
Comments: I'm very disappointed in this crankbait. I'm a big fan of spro and really wanted to like it but after ordering two and having problems with both, I'm just not a fan. One of them always got the trebles hung up on each other while casting. The other one swims extremely far to the left. Gonna try out the fat john 60 and see if it's any better
From: Tristen: Fort Worth, TX
Comments: I love this bait. I use it year long, but I like it during the fall because of the flat sides. It is amazing deflecting off of cover about 2-3 feet below the surface. It has an internal weight transfer system, and it is half an ounce so it casts a mile. I also love the size, it is not small and light so it cats, but not too terribly big and bulky. I have caught countless fish on this lure in Sunny Bream, including two fish at once. One concern is that I hit it on a dock post on a cast, and now it will not swim straight, and it is not a cheap bait.
From: Ethan: Charlottesville, VA
Comments: Hands down the best fall crank bait made!!
From: Doug: KCMO USA
Comments: People, it's a crank bait. Inherently they NEED to be tuned. Very few I have ever bought run dead true outta the box. It takes 30 seconds to tune a crank bait. If tuning a bait is that big of a hassle, then don't fish em. That's kinda like saying that line is no good because it frays around wood and you have to re-tie on occasion. C'mon guys, enjoy fishing for what it is. You could always be working.
From: Kevin: Mt. Juliet, TN
Comments: ... Cell Mate's the best...:)
From: Elijah: CT
Comments: fixing to run true. Also the weight is more like a tiny bit over 3/8 oz and far away from 1/2 oz. So be warned.
From: DreamFly: San Francisco, CA
Comments: Very durable crankbait. The paint on this thing is amazing, never has chipped on me yet. But the main thing you want in a SB crank is a good, durable bill, this bad boy's definetly got it! Best finesse crankbait out there.
From: Elijah: CT
Comments: Just bought three of these lures from TWH. Only one swam straight from the box. The other two were not even close. One of them i had to bend the eyelet further than any I have ever had to in the past. It seems to me that these lures are not of the same quality that they used to be.
From: Tom: Copperas Cove TX
Comments: This lure really puts it to the fish. I had the opportunity of using mine for the first time and boy I wasn't disappointed. I caught over 25 fish in one day on this lure alone! It took a serious beating. I ended up with a record total (for myself) at 42 largemouth on the day and this little contributed to over half of my catch. I used the Cell Mate color and hammered 'em. Tie one on and get ready for a ride!
From: Jake: Chickamauga, Ga
Comments: bought this lure yesterday and I caught my first bass of the year with this guy. A nice 5 almost 6 pound large mouth. Gonna grab a few more of these. Love how it swim and the action.
From: Sai: Fresno, CA
Comments: This bait is like no other! Game changer! It has a slow rise on the pause!
From: PT: Northern Illinois
Comments: Grab one of these and bang it off some rocks and the smallies can't resist it
From: Jon: Alton, NH
Comments: Great bait, casts like a rock. "Silent" but actually has a very faint thump to it from the soft weight. Good all year long. Great follow up bait when the fish turn off bigger square bills. I've had better luck fish this on 10-12lb, the Fat John is better designed for 14-16lb. Durable paint too...my favorite had dozens of fish on it and almost no paint loss before it hung in a giant brush pile.
From: Chris
Comments: the last 8 or 10 baits ive bought will not run true! my older ones run perfect im not sure what wrong but i hope they get it fixed soon because its a kick butt little bait year around
From: John: OK
Comments: 2 Brand New Baits, both needed tuned so bad right out of pack. Yet to throw the other 6 I bought because the first 2 were running so bad. I got them to run right and lost my desire to even have it tied on after that battle. Maybe I am the only one but I was pretty bummed
From: Pittman: OH
Comments: These are definitely quality crankbaits, nice weight transfer system makes for exceptional castability. But, several of these pictures don't look exactly like they do in person, maybe it's just my computer but I doubt it. For example the Cell Mate, on TW picture looks like a dirty white and a flat purple/black on top but it's actually a really sexy white with nice glitter on it and the top is an awesome dark blue also with great glitter accents, very awesome color. And the Spring Craw, is not NEARLY as dark as it looks on the picture, the dark part on the spine of the bait actually stop at right above the eyes. These two colors are great and they will definitely put keepers in the boat.
From: Mike: GA
Comments: This crank is phenominal! Took my buddies out fishing and this was putting my buddies to shame they couldn't even get bites when I was outfishing them. Threw it out caught a largemouth, threw it back out and hooked a 14 lb catfish haha sharp little hooks too. Definetly glad I spent the extra bucks and I recommend if you want to outfish your buddies like I did get one of these in the Cell Mate pattern.
From: Zach: IN
Comments: This is a great designed bait, don't get me wrong. I love it, however there are some flaws. The bait comes slandered with the wrong size hook. If you do get this bait i recommend you replace the hooks, with one size smaller hooks. The baits bill seems to be clear, but is actually white. I don't know the reason for this but its strange, it still does however disappear in the water. Over all i do Not think this bait is worth the price.
From: Dylan: Flower Mound, TX
Comments: A great bait that runs true and will catch fish. Only down fall is the bill will come loose after being beaten off rocks for a period of time.
From: Casey: Dover, OH
Comments: one of the best cranks i have ever used great hooks super sharp gonna have to buy more cell mate is a grat color
From: Mike: Akron, Ohio
Comments: I got tired of getting out fished when guys would use these. I finally bought a few. They go through really thick cover. My new favorite!
From: Hunter: Brentwood, TN
Comments: just got one this weekend and took it out earlier today, hauled in 1 but i went for 9.5 with stock hooks! cant beat it!
From: Matt: SC
Comments: Absolutely snagproof!! I hauled this bait through every brushpile I could get to and not one snag. Quite amazing considering how evil-sharp the stock hooks are. This bait hunts like crazy, sometimes swinging up to a foot from side to side. The fish love it and I'm sold.
From: Grant: South Africa
Comments: just recieved mine in the chrome olive color and the bait looks killer. very nice finish on the bait and going out tomorrow to try it out. hope soon the price will go down alittle or they will have a sale over the winter.
From: Matt: IL
Comments: Use mine the first time this week, and they are great. Bounced off everything without getting hung up, and cast a mile. Great shallow crankbait.
From: Allen: East TX
Comments: If you want to catch 5lb plus fish, you have to have this in your box. It looks jst like a little baitfish wth a very true action. Fish it in shallow grass and you will have success I PROMISE!!!!!
From: Deoran: KZN
Comments: This lure is one of my go to lures. The lip is very sensitive but can be knocked loose by big fish. They usually run true out of the box, easy to tune.
From: Jake: Fort Worth, TX
Comments: I never leave the docks without it!! this bait will add more to the box, i promise
From: Frank: Baltimore, MD
Comments: Hands down my favorite crank. Flat out catches fish.
From: AJ: Grafton, WV
Comments: Great lure but its overpriced. Lip is as durable as its described.
From: Bill: Mckeesport, PA

Better get the industrial-strength icemakers powered up.
Dodger Stadium, which has hosted 20 World Series games, a Mass conducted by Pope John Paul II and concerts by The Beatles and Michael Jackson, is going to open its doors to an unlikely event – a hockey game.
The NHL will take its Stadium Series to California next season when the 2012 Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings and the Anaheim Ducks play a regular-season game Jan. 25 at Dodger Stadium. It will be the league's first outdoor game west of the Mississippi.
Considering the average temperature in Los Angeles in January fluctuates between a high of 68 and a low of 48, Dodger Stadium would hardly qualify as a site for the NHL's Winter Classic.
So instead, the iconic venue will be employed in the league's new Stadium Series, a handful of games played in 2014 at outdoor locations, including the Pittsburgh Penguins visiting the Chicago Blackhawks at Soldier Field on March 1. Games at Yankee Stadium in New York and Vancouver's BC Place are expected to be announced later as part of the Series.
"At a venue that represents so much glorious sports history, this matchup of Stanley Cup champions will raise our outdoor initiatives to bold new heights,'' Commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement.
This figures to be a new experience for most involved. Not only has Dodger Stadium never served as the site for an ice hockey game, but the Ducks have never played outdoors. The Kings did it once, an exhibition in the parking lot of Caesars Palace in Las Vegas in 1991, a game played in 85-degree temperatures.
Dodger Stadium, opened in 1962, is major league baseball's third-longest continuously used stadium. The NHL already has played in the oldest two stadiums, Fenway Park in Boston (2010) and Chicago's Wrigley Field (2009).
"Dodger Stadium has been home to many unique and special moments over the past 51 years," Dodgers President Stan Kasten said. "We'll add another first in 2014 when the Dodger Stadium infield turns to ice as we host our first National Hockey League game.''

Treat Yourself: A Decadent Day Out in Miami
With its lavish spas, sun-drenched beaches, and exclusive late-night parties, Miami practically begs its denizens to indulge in decadent behavior. If you're looking for an indulgent day out on the town, the city offers plenty of places to treat yourself.
Start the day lounging at The Standard Spa, which hotelier André Balazs told American Spa he designed to serve "the role of bathing in the days of the Romans." Pluck grapes from a bowl of fresh fruit that sits in the hamam, a Turkish-style bath where guests submerge themselves in one of four soaking tubs before sprawling out on heated marble benches. More daring visitors head outdoors to the coed, clothing-optional mud lounge, where they slather themselves—or each other—in detoxifying red, gold, or green mud as they bask in the sun.
The ambiance jumps ahead several centuries at Terribly Girly, where clients get dolled up for vintage- or boudoir-style photo shoots in a studio voted 2011's Best Place to Get a Makeover by the Miami New Times. The all-female hair and makeup team, who have worked with Vivienne Westwood and the Broward Opera House and list extracurricular involvement in hard-rock bands and burlesque troops, pour bubbly to relax their subjects before cinching them into pinup-style garb.
After working the camera in sky-high heels, ladies can head to Tuccia di Capri in Miami Beach to ease into a pair of custom-made sandals. Using Italian leathers and Parisian gemstones, a pair of former runway models turned Capri-trained cobblers wrap feet in Old World–inspired styles named after the ancient or modern icons who wore them best.
Break in sandals with a stroll through Coconut Grove's Kampong Gardens, where the perfumes of West Indian lilac and ylang ylang permeate the air. Visitors can laze under the shade of a 50-ton Tanzanian baobab tree until dusk, when the Twilight Tour takes guests on a three-quarter-mile walk broken up by sampling stations.
For dinner, stop in at The Dome Bar in Coral Gables, where patrons dip tiny spoons into one of seven caviars culled from Russia, Uruguay, Italy, or North America. The roe shares plate space with crème fraiche and truffle scrambled eggs, though diners can also enjoy meatier entrees of braised-beef short ribs or filet mignon.
After dinner, head to Fontainebleau's LIV, where cerulean lights illuminate the nightclub's Romanesque dome ceiling. Multiple levels built into the 18,000-square-foot, open-air space create an intentionally voyeuristic vibe that allows patrons to sneak glances at the celeb-studded clientele.

Tactical Slings For Law Enforcement
|RAP4 is proud to offer law enforcement
and security professionals a true innovation in tactical gear: the RAP4
Tactical Sling. Representing the latest in 3-point sling design, this
lightweight sling secures your carbine or rifle to your body, leaving
your hands free...yet keeps your rifle perfectly positioned so you
simply raise the carbine to bear in one intuitive motion.
From studying tactical training and after action reports, RAP4 knows that most of the time your carbine is out of your cruiser, you're simply holding it while maneuvering, manipulating equipment, or awaiting backup. This is all time that your hands need to be otherwise occupied, with medic bags and barricade clearing, with public address equipment or floodlights.
Since so little time with your carbine is spent pointing it downrange, ready to fire, and yet you must keep it at the ready should a scenario devolve in a heartbeat, you need a tactical solution that secures the carbine in a hands-free low-ready position.
That dynamic piece of equipment is the lightweight, user-friendly RAP4 Tactical Sling.
The first of the sling's three points of contact is near the muzzle, where it easily attaches to the sling mount. The second point is at the sling mount integrated into your stock. The third point of contact is the loop that goes around your body, which is designed to spread the weight of the carbine across your shoulders and back to prevent fatigue and maintain your full range of motion.
The genius of this design is in the rear attachment point, which secures forwards of the buttplate. As the carbine dangles muzzle-down from your strong-side shoulder, the space between your shoulder pocket and the attachment point is exactly as long as that part of your stock - meaning that you don't have to consciously mount the stock when you raise your carbine. Just grab the grip and raise the muzzle, and the stock perfectly finds your shoulder pocket, bringing the sights in line with your eyes in one fluid motion. No buckles, no snaps, no swinging your carbine around to the front...just drop your pen and notepad, raise your carbine and respond to the threat.
The RAP4 Tactical Sling easily attaches to the M4 rifle family, and comes with two universal adapters that interface with every single duty rifle, carbine, and shotgun in common use. Free your hands, save your strength, and focus on your mission, when you deploy the RAP4 Tactical Sling with your duty carbine.
RAP4 As Real as it Gets!

A little western
"These boots look super cute online. I really like how they have them rolled, but i couldnt get them to lay nice like that. Plus they are very short and open when you do roll it. I thought i would really like it up as well but it looks rather western/ cowboy boot to me. Its not my thing but if you want something almost cowboy chic then this boot is for you! Also my normal size 7 was half size too big but i think that is true for all madden girl shoes (at least for me)"

Nice and comfortable but color not as shown
"Some reviews say this runs 1/2 size big, but I still went with my normal size (6.5) and they fit. I can see that the shoes might be slightly big because I wore it with thick socks and my toes were quite comfortable. The lined fabric will definitely keep your feet extra warm in the winter. Also the shoes are very comfortable (walked around house with it) and easy to slip on and off. I love everything about it except the color. Got the cognac and it is not as dark as shown which makes it look somewhat cheap and plastic. For this, I will be returning them."

Upon investigating a leak in our wall, I discovered a 1 inch pvc pipe that runs down the wall (inside of the wall) and into a bigger 2 inch pvc pipe. The pipes are not sealed together. It appears to be part of the drainage system. Anyway, the water is backed up and is very slowly overflowing over the top of the 2 inch pipe. In other words, it appears to be plugged! The 2 pipes meet about 6 feet from the ground but I can't tell where the 2 inch pipe goes (only that it goes down). Any suggestions?

Are ghosts and psychic powers real? Hoaxers go to great lengths to make you think they are. See how much you know about these frightful frauds with this quiz about famous paranormal hoaxes.
Start Quiz »
You scored
0 out of 30
Question 1 of 30
The Fox sisters claimed they could communicate with spirits, who replied by making rapping or knocking sounds. What was the real source of the sounds?
The sisters cracked their joints or knocked their feet against wood floors and tables.
Several investigations revealed the sisters were making the knocking sounds with their joints. They later confessed.
The sisters tossed heavy ball bearings onto the floor.
A confederate nearby would tap a small hammer on a wooden box.
Question 2 of 30
The Cardiff Giant purported to be a petrified 10-foot tall man, but it was really carved out of what?
The giant was carved from gypsum and was ultimately debunked in court when P.T. Barnum created a replica and claimed his was real.
Question 3 of 30
Uri Geller claimed to have numerous psychic abilities, including the power to bend spoons. On what TV show was he infamously unable to perform any psychic feats?
"Face the Nation"
"The Dukes of Hazzard"
"The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson"
When Geller appeared on "The Tonight Show," magician James Randi prevented him from doctoring his spoons and other props ahead of time. None of Geller's psychic powers worked properly as a result.
Question 4 of 30
What hoaxerrific haunted house tale was set in the house where Ronald DeFeo Jr. murdered his family in the 1970s?
"Hell House"
"The Amityville Horror"
The murders at the Amityville house really happened. The demonic entity/possession/pig monster, not so much.
"The Haunting of Hill House"
Question 5 of 30
It's probably just a clever painting, but plenty of people believe the Shroud of Turin carries the post-mortem image of who?
Jesus Christ
Carbon dating has shown that the Shroud isn't old enough to have covered Jesus Christ.
Julius Caesar
Question 6 of 30
It wasn't aliens who made those elaborate designs in a wheat field, it was…
a flock of geese being psychically controlled by Uri Geller
a team of math professors with a laser and a snow plow
a couple of friends with a wooden board and some rope
Although it can't be proven that every crop circle ever found was made with a wooden board, it doesn't mean aliens did any of them. That's a logical fallacy known as the argument from ignorance.
Question 7 of 30
In the early 1970s, two men overly interested in occult tales and superstitions competed with each other to defeat what nonexistent creature in a London neighborhood?
the Highgate Vampire
The Highgate Vampire was concocted entirely from letters written to local newspapers and TV reports, but it eventually drew dozens to a London graveyard for a vampire hunt.
the Ghost of Jack the Ripper
the Mersey Devil
Question 8 of 30
Photographs of the Enfield Poltergeist suggest that claims of ghostly levitation were really produced by…
girls hopping and leaping around their bedroom
The poltergeist's varied antics were easily explainable as children's pranks, and the levitation photos clearly show a girl simply bouncing on a bed.
an elaborate system of harnesses and ropes
Question 9 of 30
The Cottingley Fairies, which were simple paper cutouts of fairy drawings photographed in a garden, fooled what famous author?
H.P. Lovecraft
Stephen King
Arthur Conan Doyle
Sherlock Holmes would have been singularly unimpressed by the ease with which his creator, Arthur Conan Doyle, was fooled by two children with a camera and a book of fairy drawings.
Question 10 of 30
Rudolph Fentz, who supposedly appeared in Times Square and was immediately killed by a car, was an enigma because people believed he was what?
an extraterrestrial
a living ghost
a time traveler
Fentz appeared in Times Square in 1950 wearing old-fashioned clothes and mutton-chop sideburns, suggesting he was a time traveler (from 21st century Brooklyn, perhaps?). In truth, it never happened -- a science-fiction story was reprinted as the truth and became a legend until someone tracked down its origin.
Question 11 of 30
A famous photo of what legendary monster turned out to be a model attached to a toy submarine?
the Loch Ness Monster
There are lot of possible explanations for the many photos of Nessie, but one of them is definitely a toy submarine.
Question 12 of 30
One of the most widespread paranormal hoaxes was the practice of spirit photography, which supposedly allowed dead family members to appear alongside living loved ones in photographs. How was it accomplished?
matte paintings
double exposure of the photographic negatives
Spirit photographers overlayed an image of the dead relative onto a new portrait, a process known as a double exposure.
Question 13 of 30
In 1995, Fox aired a "documentary" that coincided with the popularity of "The X-Files" but was really the work of a special effects artist. What was it called?
"30 Seconds in Hell"
"Alien Autopsy"
"Alien Autopsy" claimed to be a real documentary, but it was fairly obvious the alien was a rubber fake.
"Chupacabra Speaks"
Question 14 of 30
The 1967 Patterson-Gimlin footage of what creature was reportedly a fur suit built by a costume maker?
Debates about the Bigfoot film will probably rage forever, but the costume maker confessed, so a hoax seems likely.
the Beast of Bray Road
Question 15 of 30
What crystal objects were touted as pre-Columbian artifacts with paranormal powers, but turned out to be made by 19th century jewelers?
crystal skulls
Machining marks and the source of the crystal suggests the skulls were made in Germany with Brazilian crystal in the 1800s.
crystal saucers
crystal swords
Question 16 of 30
Tibetan mystic T. Lobsang Rampa turned out to be Englishman Cyril Henry Hoskins, who wrote a book claiming he'd undergone a special surgery. What was the purpose of the surgery?
to unleash the psychic energy of his pituitary gland
to give him wings that had been cut from an actual angel
to open his third eye
Hoskins' third eye was fraudulent, as was his book.
Question 17 of 30
The vague prophecies of what famous prognosticator have been used in countless hoaxes by those seeking to profit from seemingly accurate interpretations of his quatrains?
Screaming Lord Sutch
Nostradamus may or may not have been intentionally hoaxing his patrons, but all the Hitler and 9/11 memes using fake Nostradamus prophecies certainly are.
Question 18 of 30
Psychics used muslin, cheesecloth, doll heads and faces cut from magazines to produce what mysterious paranormal substance during séances?
Ectoplasm was said to disintegrate in light, so séances had to be held in dark conditions, perfect for secretly producing the stuff from wherever the psychic may have been hiding it.
Question 19 of 30
Psychic surgery might be the most harmful paranormal hoax, convincing people they were receiving actual medical help. It was all accomplished how?
by cutting into cadavers
with X-ray machines and darkened rooms
with sleight of hand
Psychic surgeons claimed to remove tumors without making incisions, but they merely smeared animal meat and fake blood over the site of the "surgery" using sleight of hand.
Question 20 of 30
Thoughtography, which has experienced several periods of popularity both in the U.S. and Japan, is the supposed ability to do what?
change the contents of letters in sealed envelopes
write messages using a distant typewriter
imprint an image on film with psychic powers
Thoughtography, or the ability to psychically imprint camera film, was the inspiration for the novel and film series "The Ring."
Question 21 of 30
In the case of the Columbus poltergeist, video showed that the ghostly phenomena were the result of…
the Highgate Vampire
a teenager throwing things when no one was looking
The teenager in question, Tina Resch, was convicted of murdering her 3-year-old daughter later in life.
Question 22 of 30
The PEAR Lab found statistically significant evidence of psychic abilities that was possibly the result of fraud or bias. What prestigious university was the lab part of?
PEAR stands for Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research.
Question 23 of 30
Some hoaxes are put on to show that paranormal phenomena are easily faked, such as Project Alpha, which was orchestrated by what well-known skeptic and former escape artist?
Penn Jillette
Harry Houdini
James Randi
The two fake psychics used by Randi strung along researchers for years.
Question 24 of 30
A rash of Jersey Devil sightings in 1909 was the result of a hoax in which some fake wings were attached to what kind of animal?
a horse
a hippo
a kangaroo
The captive kangaroo was billed as the Jersey Devil to boost museum attendance.
Question 25 of 30
What was the Crewe Circle?
a crop circle that turned out to be part of an ad campaign
a group of spirit photographers based in Crewe, England
The Crewe Circle photographers were exposed as frauds, but Arthur Conan Doyle was taken in (again) despite the debunking.
a circle of ancient stones that turned out to be Styrofoam fakes
Question 26 of 30
The Bélmez Faces were mysterious images of human faces that appeared where in a Spanish home beginning in the 1970s?
in a mirror
on a ficus plant
on the kitchen floor
The faces were likely painted on the concrete kitchen floor in hopes of making money.
Question 27 of 30
Who supposedly showed up to protect British soldiers at the World War I Battle of Mons?
Whether angels really showed up is open to debate (if you insist), but a trunk full of evidence supporting the angel story found in 2001 was 100 percent hoax, created to generate publicity.
Richard the Lionheart
Question 28 of 30
A supposedly cursed doll kept in a museum by Ed and Lorraine Warren has inspired several films. What is its name?
Annabelle appears to be your basic Raggedy Ann doll, and there's no evidence beyond the Warrens' marketing campaign to indicate it's in any way paranormal.
Question 29 of 30
In the 1600s, young girls were accused of witchcraft in what New England town?
The Salem Witch Trials led to 20 executions. The young girls, likely overcome by mass hysteria, wildly accused neighbors and family members of corrupting them with Satanic rituals, which, of course, had never happened.
Question 30 of 30
A TV host was told the detailed and tragic history of George Bull by three separate psychics. Why didn't this prove they had psychic powers?
A producer was feeding the information about Bull to the psychics via a hidden earpiece.
Bull was still alive.
Bull was a completely fictional character.
All the facts of Bull's life and death were made up for the show, and everything the psychics reported could be found on the fake website the producers created.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! Excellent shoes! Comfy and super stylish. Perfect with my bebe jeans and skirts! True to size also! October 13, 2013
gorgeous! I bought these a month ago and I have a major shoe addiction... got the nude ones and these are classy ad elegant...they do run a bit small but go perfectly with everything from jeans to dresses..head turner for sure! October 12, 2013
AMAZING SHOES! I love these shoes! They came promptly and with no issues with the shipping at all. I opened the box and they were perfectly wrapped however, I did have some discoloration on the heel of the nude color I purchased (nothing that would prevent me from wearing with pride!) I wore to my soon-to-be sister-in-law's wedding in Key West, FL. They are so comfortable and easy to walk in. I received so many compliments and look forward to a long future with my shoes!! Thanks bebe for a great product!! September 24, 2013
Very cute but run small I'm normally a size 5 in shoes (sometimes even a 4.5). In Bebe shoes, I always wear a 5. Except, in the last couple of years I've noticed that the pumps run small. They're just small enough to where the 5 is uncomfortable and the 6 is too big. I have to return these shoes, no matter how much I may want to keep them. Very sad! September 12, 2013
Too small I love these shoes. I usually wear a 5 on bebe shoes, so I ordered the 5 online. Unfortunately, they were way too tight. The next size up is a 6, and I am afraid they would be too big. I had to send the shoes back. September 5, 2013

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
For the second week in a row the Emery Spartan football team had a blowout region contest. The Spartans easily defeated the American Leadership Academy Screaming Eagles in Spanish Fork by the score of 53-10. Joining Emery in big region wins last week were Manti, Millard and South Summit as the top four teams begin to separate themselves from the pack.
In this week's Deseret News 2-A football rankings, San Juan at 5-0 and playing in the South region is ranked first. Manti at 4-1 is ranked second, South Summit at 4-1 is ranked third, Emery at 4-1 is ranked fourth and Millard at 4-1 is ranked fifth. Millard travels to Emery this Friday night while Manti travels to South Summit, the region picture will be clearer after this weekend.
Last week at ALA, Emery received the opening kickoff and promptly marched 61 yards down field in three plays and scored on a 21-yard run by David Dyer. After Cory Cox kicked the extra point, Emery led 7-0 less than two minutes into the game.
The Spartans held ALA in their first series of the game and forced a punt. The punt stopped at the Emery 2-yard line which apparently didn't bother the Spartans as they marched down field 98 yards and scored again. Jared Shakespaere scored the first of his two touchdowns in the game on a run of 7 yards. Cox added another extra point kick and Emery led 14-0.
Emery's third possession ended with a pass from Spencer Labrum to Bailey Faimalo that covered 23 yards. This touchdown came in the second quarter and after the extra point kick was blocked, Emery led 20-0.
After the Emery kickoff, ALA could not get much going offensively and were forced to punt from deep in their territory. Dyer blocked the punt and linebacker Cle Richards recovered the ball in the end zone for another Emery touchdown. Cox added the extra point and Emery led 27-0.
ALA kicked a 34-yard field goal in their next possession to finally get on the scoreboard. Emery led 27-3.
The Spartans would add two more touchdowns before the half. Shakespaere would score on another 7-yard run after the Spartans put together a 70-yard drive. Bailey Faimalo intercepted a pass on the Eagles next drive and that drive ended with Tyler Pulli scoring on a 17-yard run. Score at the half was 40-3.
In the second half, the clock ran continuously due to the high school mercy rule. In the second half, Emery would score twice more. Kayden Feichko would score on a 10-yard run and Otis Addison would score on a 37-yard run. ALA added a touchdown in their final possession of the game.
Emery had a total of 396 yards of total offense in the game with 338 of those yards coming on the ground. Dyer gained 73 yards on nine carries and scored a touchdown. Tanner Lake gained 73 yards on six carries. Shakespaere gained 66 yards on seven carries and scored two touchdowns. Addison gained 53 yards on three carries and scored a touchdown.
Emery completed two passes in five attempts in the game. Labrum connected with Faimalo on the 23-yard touchdown and also connected with Shakespaere on a 35-yard pass pickup.
Defensively in the game, Faimalo and Ridge Nielson had interceptions besides Dyer's blocked punt. Slayde Childs led the team with eight tackles with Feichko right behind with seven tackles. Matt Mecham had six tackles, Dyer had five, Nick Arizmendi had four and Faimalo had three.
Millard will come to town this Friday night with the intention of knocking off the Spartans. Millard features a ground game led by the leading rusher in 2-A football, Jesse Rhodes. Rhodes has gained just more than 800 yards in the team's first five games. The Spartans will need to slow him down in the game in order to secure the win.
The Spartans also have a fairly potent ground game. Dyer leads the Emery team with 473 yards, averaging 9.27 yards per carry. Dyer's running mates in the backfield have also been running well. Lake has gained 275 yards with an average of 6.25 yards per carry, Shakespaere has gained 254 yards with and 8.47 average and Marco Mota, who has missed a couple of weeks with a shoulder injury, has gained 212 yards with a 9.22 average.
Game time this Friday night is 7 p.m. at the Spartan field.

With the filing of papers preliminary to the demolition of 12 properties it owns within the Atlantic Yards footprint, developer Forest City Ratner--even as a pending eminent domain case constrains it from construction work on the planned arena--seems poised to create "facts on the ground," empty lots that would foster both a perception of isolation and a sense of the project's inevitability.
The demolitions would include the Ward Bakery on Pacific Street, which preservationists have hoped to see saved for adaptive reuse, but instead would be razed for an interim surface parking lot.
Among those most starkly impacted would be the residents still within the 22-acre footprint. Take, for example, the four story apartment house at 624 Pacific Street (above). In the fall of the 2005, when the above picture was taken, the house was bordered on both sides by existing buildings.
Last summer, after the developer demolished two properties to the west deemed structurally unsound, 624 Pacific (right) was bordered on one side by empty lots. Should the developer follow through on plans filed in the past week to demolish 12 properties, including 626 Pacific just east of the residential building, the residents, who have filed suit in state court to block the condemnation of their building, would be further isolated.
(The suit, which involves 13 rent-stabilized tenants, says the Empire State Development Corporation shouldn't be allowed to override state housing laws. Unlike the eminent domain lawsuit filed by a separate set of 13 plaintiffs in federal court, the state suit does not challenge the rationale of the project as a whole.)
Demolitions on the way
While a 2/20/07 Forest City Ratner press release announced the beginning of site preparation work and the commencement of demolition of one building, 179 Flatbush Avenue, papers filed by the developer with the Department of Buildings (DOB), mainly in the past week, indicate much greater ambitions. The demolitions have not yet been approved by the DOB.
(Map by NoLandGrab, updated 3/8/07--click to enlarge. Note that some of the properties in white are owned by Forest City Ratner and could be demolished after the filing and approval of permits. Others are not owned by the developer and are subject to condemnation. Most of the property between Pacific Street and Atlantic Avenue is the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Vanderbilt Yard.)
The developer did not respond to a press inquiry yesterday about the timing, but a worker told Dean Street resident Peter Krashes that the demolitions could begin within six weeks, and an FCR representative said that community residents would get about a month's notice. (Ward Bakery at right)
Both phases targeted
The demolitions would involve properties in Phase 1 (the arena block, scheduled for completion in 2010) and Phase 2 (east of Sixth Avenue, scheduled for completion in 2016), where buildings would be razed for interim surface parking. (Here's the current block and lot map.)
Among those slated for demolition are a building at 465 Dean Street (partial view, at right) between Flatbush and Sixth avenues; it borders an empty lot created when the developer last year demolished two row houses. (Photo from fall of 2005, before the houses were demolished.)
Last year the developer demolished five properties, some of which occupied several tax lots.
In its response to the ESDC's blight study, which cited water damage in the building, Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn noted that "Just before FCR purchased 465 Dean, in May 2004, a mental health not-for-profit had been preparing to open offices in the building and had sent in workers to put the building in order. Instead, FCR's purchase kept the building vacant."
Demolitions are also planned for 618, 626, 642, 644, and 646 Pacific Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, 193 Flatbush Avenue, and 191 Flatbush Avenue/616 Pacific Street, the former home of Harriet's Alter Ego.
On the eastern end of the project, where an interim surface parking lot would sit for in the southeast block years--perhaps only a few, perhaps decades--demolitions are planned for
800, 814, 818 Pacific Street, and 536-538, 542, and 546 Vanderbilt Avenue.
Parking for construction workers would be on that southeast block bounded by Pacific Street, Vanderbilt Avenue, Carlton Avenue and Dean Street.
The interim surface parking plans have concerned a lot of people. (Above, an unofficial rendering--adapted from renderings by landscape architect Laurie Olin--of the entire site east of Sixth Avenue as either surface parking, staging, or railyards.)
The lot would persist during the construction of the first stage, over four years, which would include five towers and the arena. It could last much longer, as Olin recently admitted that the ten-year construction plan would more likely take 20 years, which has generated further criticism.

A dozen planned demolitions would create "facts on the ground," isolate plaintiffs

The Fund invests primarily in equity securities, principally common stocks, of mid cap companies that, in the Subadviser's opinion, are out of favor and thus undervalued in the marketplace at the time of purchase and have the potential for appreciation. We define mid cap companies as those with market capitalizations that fall within the range of the Russell Midcap® Index, provided that if the upper end of the capitalization range of that Index falls below $15 billion, we will continue to define those companies with market capitalizations between the upper end of the range of the Index and $15 billion as mid cap companies. As of December 31, 2015, the range of the Index was $380 million to $30.5 billion, but it is expected to change frequently. The Subadviser's active investment strategy uses a quantitative investment model to evaluate and recommend investment decisions for the Fund in a bottom-up, contrarian value approach. The primary components of the quantitative models are:
All such indicators are measured relative to the overall universe of mid cap companies.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of mid cap companies.
Market and issuer risk: Securities markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse market, economic, political, regulatory or other developments, which may lower the value of securities held by the Fund, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Additionally, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of a particular issuer's stock.
Value style risk: Over time, a value oriented investing style may go in and out of favor, which may cause the Fund to underperform other equity funds that use different investing styles.
Selection risk: The Subadviser's judgment about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of a particular security may be incorrect.
Mid cap risk: The Fund's performance may be more volatile because it invests primarily in mid cap stocks. Mid cap companies may have limited product lines, markets and financial resources. They are usually less stable in price and less liquid than those of larger, more established companies. Additionally, mid cap stocks may fall out of favor relative to small or large cap stocks, which may cause the Fund to underperform other equity funds that focus on small or large cap stocks.
Model risk: There are limitations inherent in every quantitative model. The value of securities selected using quantitative analysis can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole or securities selected using only fundamental analysis. The factors used in quantitative analysis and the weight placed on those factors may not be predictive of a security's value. In addition, factors that affect a security's value can change over time and these changes may not be reflected in the quantitative model. Any model may contain flaws the existence and effect of which may be discovered only after the fact or not at all. Even in the absence of flaws a model may not perform as anticipated.

Hi Julie hope all is well.
Hi hope all is well. I have almost finished KKamms book. It was really an exciting plot and I felt on the edge many times like I was there in the battle. I also read about the FF whose son accidently shot him while hunting. Oh my tragedy can strike so quick. God be with family and friends at this time of need. In my prayers. Margaret
Hi there Julie. Hope all is well. Just dropped in on Stracy. She took a bad fall and has been having to stay home and heal. Hope Your're having a good week/end. Be safe Margaret
Thanks for stopping by Julie. You are one talented woman. Your community is very fortunate to have such a dedicated person. You make me proud to be a woman! Yes, I had a wonderful Easter celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior. Our church service was so inspiring and to think Jesus loved me enough to forgive all my sins. I hope that my service to others always reflects my real attitude to just let God lead me where I am needed most. My family is so important to me. Though I have retired from public service I still stop and try to lend a hand when it's needed. I also love to write. I am a published writer and have some short poetry collections. I like to take photos of nature and subjects that just catch my eye. It might be a setting sun, a big beautiful harvest moon or just the smile that I might capture on somebody's face. I like to laugh, and I love being with those who are sincere and project their strenth and enegy on to me as I travel thru life each and every day. God keep you safe and blessings flow to you always.

Globe And Mail's 12 team league - Vote For Me!
Kent Wilson
October 25 2012 10:43AM
Indulge me for a moment here folks.
As you may or may not know, I participated in a 12-team fantasy draft for the Globe and Mail with other notable sports writers and bloggers (including our own Cam Charron of LeafsNation and Eric T/Derek Zona of NHLNumbers). I was given the Boston Bruins and the first overall pick, so was able to put together a pretty solid team (Crosby and Datsyuk FTW!). James Mirtle, who set up the exercise, has an article up on the project today, with an option for everyone to vote on the best team drafted.
I'm glad to say I'm leading the way with more than 19% of the vote, but Pension Plan Puppets isn't too far behind (no doubt because he is sending his army of blog and twitter fans over to vote him. Bastard!).
So head over and vote for me if you could. Or, at least, vote for the team you think is the best. Also, the article itself is worthwhile: it contains draft strategy from each "GM" and a scouting report on the club's by Eric Duhatsechek. Former seminal Calgary blogger Matt Fenwick of Battle Of Alberta (he got the Flames) has this interesting note:
Off-ice character is overrated. No GM wants guys who show up to the rink late or hung over (or both) but the object of the game is to outscore – not outthink, outspeak, or out-integrity. An alternate universe where Calgary never drafted Theo Fleury would be a poorer one – for Calgary anyway. Naturally, I went against my strategy with about 40 per cent of my picks. But on the spot at least, it was too hard to ignore Kane's offense, Yakupov's star upside, Giordano's determination, etc. Being an NHL GM is tougher than it looks, at least when you only have 90 seconds to draft.
Check it out when you get a chance. Oh and, uh, you know...vote for me.
bruins are far and away the best team. flyers and canucks 2 & 3 imo.
Ummm, who's Kent??? ;-)
October 25 2012, 11:18PM
Picking first overall helped me a lot.
Tell that to the Oilers...
October 26 2012, 05:09AM
Not bad Kent, trending to 1/4 of voters ranking the Bruins as #1.

The politically sensitive task of protecting America against a flu pandemic has fallen to GlaxoSmithKline, which has won a US government grant to develop a faster, swifter, more effective inoculation against seasonal ailments.
GSK and Texas A&M University are to build a $91 million (£60 million) research centre north of Houston, Texas, that will tackle flu and the threat of terrorists attacking the US with virulent strains of ebola, anthrax or smallpox.
