So I need something fairly simple done, it'd be really awesome if you guys could help me. I have an image of an insert for a disc which I am going to print out and put into a jewel case. Here is the image:
If it doesn't show full res because I know sometimes OnRPG scales stuff down, heres a direct link - http://imgur.com/mF1dgnm
Now, what I need is for someone to extend it out just a bit at the right side (next to the image and barcode) and I need it to look somewhat like the end of a Playstation 1 disc. It doesn't need to be perfect by any means, just something so that when I look at it on my shelf it blends in and I can identify the game without pulling it out. Here is an example of what I need -
Just a simple black strip with the game name (Tomba!) in the middle of it. I don't need the fancy greatest hits stuff, I don't need the NTSC stuff, I don't need any of that. I really don't care what the font is. Just a black bar about the width of a CD spine (a little bigger is OK, I'll trim it when printed) that says "Tomba!" in white text added on to the side of the image.
Much love and reps to whoever helps me. Thanks so much.

Conference Champs! Green Bay Claims Title Outright in Win at Detroit
By Justin Grones (@JustinGrones)
DETROIT, Mich. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The #21/23 Green Bay women's basketball team passed a tough test in the Motor City with a 71-63 victory over Detroit on Thursday night. Paced by a second-straight career outing by reigning Horizon League Co-Player of the Week redshirt sophomore Megan Lukan (Barrie, Ontario), the Phoenix improved to 23-2 overall and 13-0 in the Horizon League. More importantly, the win granted the Phoenix the Horizon League regular season championship outright after claiming at least a share of it last week. Detroit dropped to 14-11 and 7-6 in conference play with the loss.
In the win, the Phoenix shot 15-36 from long range, good for a 41.7 percent mark. The team's 15 makes tied for the second-most in a single game in program history, while 36 attempts tied for third. After going 0-5 from long range in the first half, Lukan went 6-8 in half number two for a 6-13 outing. Her six makes tied for third in program history, while her 13 attempts were the most a Green Bay women's basketball player has ever attempted in a game.
"The difference tonight was that Detroit's Shareeta Brown made us shoot outside. When they stick her down low it's extremely hard to penetrate," head coach Kevin Borseth said. "We had to resort to shooting a lot of three's tonight, but we still hit better than 40 percent. When you shoot more than 30 from back there and better than 40 percent go in, that's pretty impressive and we'll certainly take it."
Green Bay never trailed in the first half, jumping out to a 6-0 lead to start the game after the first of four three's on the night from Sarah Eichler (Grafton, Wis.) and a three-point play from Stephanie Sension (Hopkins, Minn.). The Phoenix extended the lead to 9-2 before a 7-0 run from the Titans gave the game its only tie of the opening frame.
Eichler hit the first of four combined three's in a row to extend the lead to 15-9 before redshirt senior Jenny Gilbertson (Wabasha, Minn.) capped off a 9-0 run with a triple of her own at the 11:37 mark.
Sension completed another three-point play to put the Phoenix up 24-16, but Detroit closed the first half on an 11-4 run over the final five minutes to leave Green Bay with a slim 28-27 lead at the break.
After her ice-cold first half from downtown, Lukan got Green Bay on the board first in the second half with a three for a 31-27 lead. Detroit's Shareeta Brown scored her sixth of eight points on the night in the lane, knotting things at 31-31 shortly after.
Adrian Ritchie (De Pere, Wis.) scored the next five points for the Phoenix with a three and a steal leading to a layup, but the Titans' Senee Shearer, who led the home team with 15 points, tied things up at 36-36 on a three with 15:34 remaining.
Another Lukan triple with 9:59 remaining put Green Bay up 44-42, sparking a run of a combined five-straight three's. A triple from Detroit's Rosanna Reynolds as the shot clock expired gave the Titans their first lead of the game at 45-44 with just over nine minutes to play.
Lydia Bauer (Lake Zurich, Ill.) had the answer with the next three, putting Green Bay back on top 47-45. The lead was short-lived, however, as Destiny Lavita-Stephens put the home team back in charge at 48-47. From there, it was the Megan Lukan show.
Lukan hit consecutive three's to extend the lead to 53-48 with 7:25 remaining as part of an 11-0 run. Sension took a feed inside and shot around Brown in the post to give Green Bay a 10-point advantage with a 58-48 lead at the 5:50 mark. After Detroit broke up the run, Lukan hit two more three's to grant the visitors a 64-52 edge with 4:24 to play.
"Megan Lukan has been incredible these past two games after starting the season a little slow when it comes to shooting," Borseth said. "Her confidence has gotten a lot better and she isn't hesitating like she had been when she would get an open look.
The Titans wouldn't go away easy, as the host team used a 10-2 run over a three-and-a-half minute stretch to come within four points with just over a minute to play. However, a layup and two late free throws from Sension were enough to put the game on ice after three ties and six lead changes in the second half alone.
Green Bay was paced by Lukan's 20 points, just two shy of her career high. Before the Valparaiso game on Feb. 23, Lukan had hit just six of 34 attempts from behind the arc but in the last two games alone, she's hit 10-21 for a 47.6 mark. Sension added 14 points and five rebounds, while Eichler had 12 points on a perfect 4-4 from downtown and a game-high six assists. Bauer added nine points on three three's, and Breannah Ranger (Skokie, Ill.) grabbed a team-high six rebounds.
Behind Shearer's 15 points, Yar Shayok was the only other Detroit player to score in double figures, finishing with 10 points. The Titans shot 46.7 percent from the field and hit seven of 20 attempts from long range, good for a 35.0 percent mark.
The win snapped Detroit's 15-game home winning streak dating back to last season, making Green Bay the only remaining Horizon League team with a perfect home record this season. The loss for Detroit was also the first since its home floor was named after former Detroit men's basketball head coach Dick Vitale this past December.
NEXT ON THE SCHEDULE: Green Bay will leave the Motor City for the Windy City, taking on UIC in Chicago on Saturday. Tipoff will be at 7 p.m. with the game carried live on the Horizon League network. In the first meeting this season, Green Bay tied the sixth-best mark for points in a game with a 99-53 extinguishing of the Flames. The Phoenix also broke the 27-year-old record for assists in a game after recording 34 shares.

The Wall Street Journal vs. The Scientific Consensus
We are disappointed that the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) has chosen to yet again distort the science behind human-caused climate change and global warming in their recent editorial "Kyoto By Degrees" (6/21/05) (subscription required).
Last week, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and 10 other leading world bodies expressed the consensus view that "there is now strong evidence that significant global warming is occurring" and that "It is likely that most of the warming in recent decades can be attributed to human activities". And just last week, USA Today editorialized that "not only is the science in, it is also overwhelming".
It is puzzling then that the WSJ editors could claim that "the scientific case….looks weaker all the time".
While we resist commenting on policy matters (e.g. the relative merits of the Kyoto Protocol or the various bills before the US Senate), we will staunchly defend the science against distortions and misrepresentations, be they intentional or not. In this spirit, we respond here to the scientifically inaccurate or incorrect assertions made in the editorial.
Since that Byrd-Hagel vote eight years ago, the case for linking fossil fuels to global warming has, if anything, become even more doubtful.
This statement stands in stark opposition to the actual findings of the world scientific community (e.g. the various National Academies, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)), and the vast majority of actual peer-reviewed scientific studies.
The Earth currently does seem to be in a warming period, though how warm and for how long no one knows.
If we interpret to "know" as "is judged to be the case based on the available evidence", the statement is patently false. As detailed in previous discussions at RealClimate (see here and here and here) it is the consensus of the scientific community, based on more than a dozen independent studies using both empirical data and theoretical models (including the most recent studies in Nature and Science), that average surface temperatures over the Northern Hemisphere during the past few decades appear to be unprecedented in a very long term context, probably over at least the past 2000 years.
In particular, no one knows whether this is unusual or merely something that happens periodically for natural reasons.

Hey copy guys, it's the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, not the Cleveland Municipal Zoo. The only thing we've got left with municipal in its name is the parking lot we tailgate in for Browns games.
Nothing like an ape in Y fronts to make a person look cool.
Made me think of a Magilla and Barney offspring..
Thankfully, I dont need to look cool enough to buy this thing. Another for the kids sizes and randoms to come..
I guess that I am the one crazy person that bought this.
The graphic reminds me of Captain Underpants.
WOW... any shirt making fun of Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort gets a really big gold star from me!
This is great. :-)

Though our ape house is bad enough to make an ape go mad. It's almost as bad as our football team. And purple, like Derple.
This sh*t is bananas, b-a-n-a-n-a-s!
The non-derby shirts just keep getting worse and worse. I'm definitely fearing what I'll get in randoms now.
This shirt is very strange, yet im drawn to it.
Fat Joe and Lil' Wayne anyone?
What the hell was he smoking to come up with this one. I have to wait for my daughter to get out of school to see if he wants this one. LOL
I've been waiting for a monkey shirt and we get this? UGH
although there have been plenty of shirts I haven't liked, none have provoked me to post a message in the forum. until now.
i couldn't spend money on this. i couldn't accept this for free. i couldn't wear this alone in my room.
Is this design based on a photo?
Is it just me, or does this look like it was drawn by one of the guys behind Penny Arcade?
Looks like a purple Tom Bergeron in a blonde Orphan Annie wig taking a banana in the keister. Hopefully he makes it past the elimination episode. DANCE YOU BANANA!
its weird and quirky, especially the expression on the face...
the colors work pretty well together...
the shirt is black though, so i mite hafta pass

You don't need opposable thumbs to peel a banana if you know what I mean ;o)
Oh wait I don't even know what I mean!
Oh good god, take it away! I freaking hate Grape Ape and that Bonzi thing looks even worse! WHY WOOT, WHYYYY
worst shirt i've seen on here in a long time, probably should be packaged as a two-fer or something to get rid of them
I am determined to find something nice to say about this shirt...
The purple against the black makes for a nice contrast.
I guess.
can't I use paypal for my payment without having a credit card?
that was just the reason why I chose it....
The gorilla named Durple was nutty,
And looked kinda like BonziBuddy,
He made people mad,
'Cause his shirt was bad,
But that's what you get when you're cruddy.
I like this. I dont know why. I want it. Probably because so many people hate it. But I actually liked it before I read all the hate. Now I'm questioning my taste.
I don't care. I want it...
I surprisingly like this shirt.

A project of
Elementary School
Cuban Kids
As the title implies, this book introduces readers to life in Cuba as it is experienced by children…where they live, what they do to have fun, what school is like. Photojournalist George Ancona offers a rare glimpse into life in this country while the text quite subtly raises some political issues.
César: Yes, We Can!/César: Si, Se Puede!
This book recounts the story of the life and character of migrant farmworker and activist César Chavez. The emphasis of this work is on Chavez' ethics and values, all of which made him an outstanding role model for children. The work is a lyrical success in both its poetry and its illustrations by Caldecott Medal winner, David Diaz.
In the imagination of a child, almost anything is possible. Rosalba is able, thanks to her vivid imagination, to fly over New York City with her abuela, her grandmother. The interplay of images and language is quite lyrical. This vibrant, colorful book is written in English with Spanish words sprinkled throughout.
Speak English for Us, Marisol!
As Marisol tries to make her way home from school, she is stopped repeatedly by various relatives and neighbors who ask her to translate for them from Spanish to English. Although just a little girl, she serves an important role in the community as translator of languages but also as interpreter of culture.
Sarah's Story: A Children's Story of Sarah Winnemucca of Nevada
Based on a true story, this book recounts the life of Native American activist, Sarah Winnemucca. Her struggles and her triumphs—testifying before US Congress, meeting President Rutherford B. Hayes, and publishing the first book by a Native American woman—make for an exciting and inspiring read for adults and children alike. As an added bonus, Sarah's Story is a bilingual book: one side appears in English while the cross page is in Spanish.
Letters from Rifka
Readers follow the touching, story of twelve-year-old Rifka, who escapes Russian soldiers who have taken control of the Jewish community where she lives in the Ukraine. Her harrowing tale doesn't end there. She must endure separation from her family, disease, and a storm at sea before making her way to the United States. Although set in 1919, the story vividly recounts the frightening circumstances that immigrants often must face in their efforts to find safety.
When Jessie Came Across the Sea
From her poor village in Eastern Europe, Jessie travels to New York City to make a living as a lacemaker. Jessie's story is representative of the experiences of many immigrants to the United States at the turn of the 20th century in its account of the agony of leaving loved ones and the hard work that life in the new homeland entails.
I Was Dreaming to Come to America: Memories from the Ellis Island Oral History Project
Graphic designer Veronica Lawlor's stunning illustrations grace this children's book. However, its real beauty is found in the poignant recollections of children, now grown, whose stories became part of the Ellis Island Oral History Project and have been selected by Lawlor for inclusion here.
I Hate English!
"I hate English! Mei Mei said in her head in Chinese," and with that begins the story of the young girl's cultural adjustment. Having recently arrived in New York from Hong Kong, Mei Mei struggles to adapt to a new school, a new language, and a new way of life. When her teacher reaches out to her, the young student begins to realize that she can not only adjust, but she may actually find moments of real joy again.
Coming To America: The Story of Immigration
Maestro's work provides a clear and extensive introduction to the history of U.S. immigration. Topics include the mistreatment of Native Americans at the hands of European immigrants, the forced immigration of Africans, and the history of Ellis Island and the glory and pain associated with it. Illustrations by Susannah Ryan are animated and colorful.
Happy Birthday, Martin Luther King
Graced with striking illustrations by J. Brian Pinkney, this book introduces young readers to the life of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., dwelling on his accomplishments and how these changed the lives of African Americans. The work is eloquent in its simplicity and offers suggestions concerning how to broach the more difficult topic of Rev. King's murder with young children.
The Whispering Cloth: A Refugee's Story
With the help of her grandmother, Mai learns to embroider the pa'ndau, a traditional story cloth. The two have made a refugee camp in Thailand, their home, following the murder of Mai's parents in Laos. Hope and horror, beauty and anguish, beautifully combine in this poignant tale.
Annushka's Voyage
Although based on the story of the author's mother and aunt and their immigration to the United States, this is a fictionalized account of the journey of two young Russian girls destined for New York. This stirring tale begins in the homeland where Anya and Tanya say goodbye to their grandparents and prepare to travel to the U.S. to be reunited with their father. This is a stirring tale that takes readers through the emotions of leaving behind everything that is familiar, to an often arduous journey, to the scary arrival at Ellis Island, to the joyous reunion with their father. The book also contains a discussion of the persecution of Jews in Russia in the late 1800s.
Going Home, Coming Home/Ve Nha, Tham, Que Huong
Eight-year-old American Ami Chi really isn't particularly happy about spending time in her parents' homeland of Vietnam until she makes a friend and grows closer to her grandmother. Not only is a generational gap bridged, but so is a cultural one. Ami realizes that "Home is two different places, on the left and right sides of my heart." This bilingual picture book is aimed at beginning readers, but those who are slightly older will appreciate it as well.
Middle School/High School
How Many Days to America?: A Thanksgiving Story
A family is forced to flee its island home in search of safe haven. The small boat in which the family members travel together brings them to a shore in the U.S. on Thanksgiving Day. The story is touching and accessible for young readers, and it serves as a reminder to all of the hardships all refugees face in a quest for freedom, from the first Thanksgiving Day on through to the present time.
Journey of the Sparrows
Buss' gripping tale recounts the escape of Maria, her brother and her sister from El Salvador and their arrival in the United States after having been smuggled into the country in crates. Although the author recounts the horror that drove the three from their rural village and the poverty and despair that they face in their new home of Chicago. This is also a story of hope and the indomitable human spirit.
American Immigration: A Student Companion (Oxford Student Companions to American History)
This outstanding text is a comprehensive study of immigration to the United States beginning in the sixteenth century and continuing to the present time. In addition to providing a thorough and thoughtful overview of immigration to this country, American Immigration also explains key terms related to demographic movement and provides leads to other resources on the topic.
Immigrant Kids
This non-fiction book will fit well into a teacher's history or social studies curriculum. Photos that date to the late 1880s and early 1900s are accompanied by text that describes the lives of immigrant children—at home, at school, at work, and at play—during that era.
If Your Name Was Changed At Ellis Island
This book serves as a wonderful introduction to the one of the most active periods of immigration to the United States, from approximately 1892 to 1914. Straightforward responses to a number of questions—Why did people come to America?...How did people learn English?—are effectively combined with personal stories in an effort to give young readers a sense of this historical era in particular and the immigrant experience more broadly.
Tangled Threads: A Hmong Girl's Story
Tangled Threads continues the story of Mai that was begun in The Whispering Cloth. After ten years in the refugee camp, Mai and her grandmother arrive safely in the United States. As she begins to settle in, her ability to adapt to the new homeland is in sharp contrast her grandmother's isolation and resistance to assimilation. The experience of bridging two cultures is one that will surely be familiar to immigrant students who read this book.
Something About America
Written in poetic free verse, Something About America tells the powerful story of a 13-year-old girl who has fled Kosovo in order to settle in Lewiston, Maine with her parents. In addition to issues of cultural and linguistic adjustment, the young teenager also endures the emotional and physical scars sustained as a result of war in her homeland. Her sense of belonging in the adopted home is shaken by an act of racism in the community. The story is based on real events in Lewiston, Maine.
Brothers in Hope: The Story of the Lost Boys of Sudan
The harrowing tale of the more than 30,000 southern Sudanese boys, forced by civil war to walk more than 1,000 miles to find safety, is told through the eyes of one eight-year-old boy named Garang Deng. The gripping story is accompanied by exquisite illustrations.
American Born Chinese
Three plots fill the pages of this one book, but in a way one theme is central, namely that of accepting oneself. Added to the usual adolescent angst about fitting in is the theme of reconciling one's ethnicity, in this case that of being Chinese American. The book's illustrations will also appeal to the adolescent reader.

In the IaaS market the open source torch has officially been passed from Eucalyptus to OpenStack, a community effort that is showing strong momentum in both vendor participation and end user interest. But now it needs to start showing staying power, and that's just what I expect to see at this week's OpenStack Design Summit in Boston. What started as an effort to leverage the open community to help advance the technologies started by Rackspace and NASA has now turned into a vibrant community advancing IaaS technologies at a rapid pace. What it was lacking up until this summer was solid go-to-market momentum. But now:

Is It Clean or Just Unseen? Dirty Water and the Naked Eye
In this experiment, serial dilution of a contaminated water source is examined for turbidity and bacterial cell count. Because chemical and microbial contaminations are not always visible to the naked eye, the microbial presence will be brought to the attention of the learner by use of viable plate counts.
Intended Audience
Grades 9-12
Learning Objectives
At the completion of this activity the learner will be able to successfully perform serial dilutions as well as be able to calculate the corresponding concentration of the dilutions. The student will also have knowledge of how to conduct a bacterial cell count and thus bacterial concentrations.
Necessary Student Background
Students should be equipped with the skill set and knowledge of using transfer pipettes and compound light microscope (if you choose to use one). They should also be able to use mathematical concepts to prepare dilutions.

Ohhhh Baby...I've been waiting for a Pedroncelli offer to come around. Been checking every day and almost didn't check today. I've got Vet bills, a boat in the driveway to get ready for the water, and 460+ bottles in the basement. Nuts??? Hope not because I love the consistent QPR this wine brings to the table and I have been taking it cautiously slow on drinking what I have in the stash. NOT NO MORE...just pressed that big ole button!!!! Thanks Pedroncelli!!!!
Pedroncelli has never let me down. I'm in.
I'm totally surprised this hasn't sold out yet....If you haven't bought yet... do it now!!

As if this label hasn't had enough props from other Wooters, now the redoubtable rpm bestows his imprimatur! To any sitting on the buy button, the universe has spoken: Buy. This. Woot.
I was too young to vote against Pat Brown, but old enough to vote against his son -- in both the 20th and 21st century. How does this relate to wine, one might ask? Well, it means that when I raise my glass of Pedroncelli it ain't gonna involve a toast to either Brown. Instead, I'll drink to try and forget them.
A good plan would be to buy some 2012 Pedroncelli Dry Creek Valley Rose of Zinfandel to slurp up while your reds (like my '08 magnum of Three Vineyards cab) take a little nap. Hopefully, Woot! will arrange to have the Ped rose offered sometime soon. Summer approaches, after all.
(BTW, didn't Jerry go to St. Ignatius?)

So sad, my husband adores the port offering but we ordered this case and were terribly dissapointed. The wine is very harsh and acidic. We tried them both straight from the bottle and also decanted - with little improvement. Feeling that perhaps it was just us we had multiple friends over for a tasting and it was a unanimous vote - the wine is just not enjoyable.
Wish we knew what we were missing as it seems everyone else enjoys this wine! Does it need to stay in the cellar for some time? Longer decanting? Certain temperatures? Anything anyone can offer would be appreciated. We would really like to 'like' this wine!

Two prominent Johnson County Republican state senators, John Vratil and Tim Owens—who chose not to seek re-election–are backing Democrats to succeed them. Steve Rose writes that they will likely called RINOs. Vratil says he's no RINO. He's a "traditional" Republican. And, Vratil claims these are "very unusual times."
There are criticisms of the plan to bring a two-mile starter streetcar system to downtown Kansas City. One criticism involves the plan. Another relates to the voting process. We'll try to discuss both.
The Sprint Center is celebrating its fifth anniversary this week and its backers have reason to be proud. It's performing well financially, covering interest on bond debt and providing 7-million dollars for the city's coffers. Some see potential problems, however, as A-E-G, the management group that runs the facility, is up for sale. It's not yet known who the buyer will be or what that company's attitude toward Sprint and Kansas City will be.
The Vice-Presidential debate will take place Thursday night. It will be a generational match-up between Joe Biden, nearly 70, and 42-year-old Paul Ryan. Given President Obama's performance last week, there may be more interest than usual in what the VP nominees have to say.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|The waist width is not the width of the board where the boots are. It'll be a little wider under your bindings. How much depends on the sidecut radius. Also, you won't be riding 0,0 binding angles. It sounds like you'll be fine.
@smokehaus: thank you for replying and sorry i wasnt completly clear on the question, i should have re read it to make sure the question was clear but leo understood what i was asking and answered my question.
@leo: thank you very much for clearing that up for me. I just wanted to be sure i didnt need a wide board. As for angle i currently run -3/+6 as thats a comfortable stance for me since its near how i used to ride my skateboard.
You are forgetting that your feet do not sit on the middle of the board where the waist width is the smallest. Your feet will be on the insert points away from the sidecut's center. This means the board is wider at those points. So you might have an inch overhang on the direct center of the board, but it will be less when you measure at the points where your feet will actually lie.
You are also measuring in a way that suggests your feet will be at 0 angles. The more angle you rock, the less overhang you will have.
You have a size 10 boot, don't worry about a wide period. I have a size 10 boot that is high profile, and I can ride boards in the 152-155 range without overhang issues.
I just read that like 3 times and still am not fully sure what is going on.
Are you worried about how big your boots will be in relation to the size of you foot without boots on and if this will cause problems with your board?
If you are a size 10 foot then most of the time you will go down a boot size for snowboarding.
If the latter is correct then you should have no problem with waist width on a new board with size 10 boots or smaller.
Also at 120lbs 157 might be a touch long for some, but just check the weight specs of the board and know what you will be riding with it which can influence board length selection.
|bump, anyone help me out? would like to order a board within the next couple days.
The only board Spec help thread ill post
Ill start out by saying i read and understand the info in the stickied posts on this matter this is just to fill in the grey areas in wich i found while reading....
This mainly concerns the boards "waist width" in comparison to boot size. Now from my understanding most info i read says to not worry about going to a "wide" board unless your bare foot size is 12 or more inches. I ware a size 10 boot wich is a size 10 bare foot but the entire boot overall is 12 inches, now acording to what ive read the ideal over hang is 1/2inch both heel/toe to give proper leverage.
Next step was you must know the waist width of the board (im gonna use the flow team as my example board becuase it is the one im strongly considering) to Compare widths. The flow team 157 has a waist with in inches aproximatly 9.8 inches if i recall correctly( im using my iphone so i cant look up exact specs) wich barefoot gives me almost no overhang heel toe but with the boot overall size being a 12 that would give me aprox. an inch heel toe overhang. So im over the ideal 1/2inch heel toe overhang by a 1/2 inch on both doubleing the ideal spec.
So my question is how un ideal is the inch heel toe overhang? I will be mainly useing the board for park and ocasionaly rideing the slopes with my friends who dont like the park. The 157 is the ideal board length for me according to hieght but according to wieght i should be on a smaller board, 5'11" 120nude 127 geard up. So going bigger in length isnt an option to increase waist width.
Thank you in advance for any responses, like i said this will probly be the only question i ask on board specs, and im sorry for the lengthyness of the read i tried to break it up to make it easier and i appologize for any spelling/sentence errors, typeing all this on an iphone isnt an easy task.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of any Virtus Mutual Fund before investing. The prospectus and summary prospectus contains this and other information about the fund. Please contact your financial representative, call 1-800- 243-4361 or visit www.virtus.com to obtain a current prospectus and/or summary prospectus. You should read the prospectus and/or summary prospectus carefully before you invest or send money.
Performance data quoted represents past results. Past performance is no guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Average annual total return is the annual compound return for the indicated period. It reflects the change in share price and the reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. NAV returns do not include the effect of any applicable sales charges. POP and w/CDSC returns include the effect of maximum applicable sales charges.
Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative total returns.
1 Yields/Distributions: Distribution Yield (at NAV) is calculated by (a) annualizing the latest distribution for fixed income funds or funds less than 1 year old (b) summing all distributions over the preceding 12 months for all other funds, and dividing the NAV on the last business date of the period. SEC Yield represents the net investment income earned by a fund over a 30-day period, expressed as an annual percentage rate based on the fund's public offering share price at the end of the 30-day period. Gross SEC Yield represents the yield if there were no expense reimbursements.
2 Distribution History: Distributions are represented on a cash basis and may be reclassified at year end for tax purposes. The Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes. STCG: Short Term Capital Gain, LTCG: Long Term Capital Gain
3 Risk Statistics: R2 is a statistical measure that represents the percentage of a fund or security's movements that can be explained by movements in a benchmark index. Beta is a quantitative measure of the volatility of a given portfolio to the overall market. Alpha is a risk adjusted measure of an investment's excess return relative to a benchmark. A positive Alpha indicates that the investment produced a return greater than expected for the risk (as measured by Beta) taken. Standard Deviation measures variability of returns around the average return for an investment fund. Higher standard deviation suggests greater risk. Risk Statistics are calculated using 36 monthly returns.
4 Characteristics: For Equity Funds:Trailing P/E: Per-share stock price divided by the latest12-months Earnings per Share; Price/Cash Flow: Per-share stock price divided by the per-share operating cash flow; Price/Book: Per-share stock price divided by the latest 12-month per-share Book Value; 3-Year EPS Growth Rate: Average of earnings per share growth for latest 3-year period. The 3-Year EPS Growth Rate is not a forecast of the fund's performance.
4 Characteristics: For Fixed Income Funds: Duration represents the interest rate sensitivity of a fixed income fund. For example, if a fund's duration is five years, a 1% increase in interest rates would result in a 5% decline in the fund's price. Similarly, a 1% decline in interest rates would result in a 5% gain in the fund's price.
Morningstar Disclosures:
The Morningstar RatingTM for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods.

Thousands of people throughout the world are protesting against the inhumane bombing policy of Israel which has resulted in the deaths of innocent men, women, and children. But, for some strange reason, there are no demonstrations against the Muslim nation of Sudan which has killed–not 1,000– but over 200,000 innocent men, women and children as well as raping females and driving over 2.7 million Darfurians to seek refuge in other lands. Why is there silence in Muslim nations at what incoming Secretary of State Hillary Clinton terms a "terrible humanitarian crisis compounded by a corrupt and very cruel regime which she believes is engaged in genocidal policies.
The Obama administration is considering no-fly zones and even the possibility of blockading ports in order to end the murderous Muslim leadership which has unleashed the janjaweed to kill and rape without remorse. It appears the government of Sudan President Omar al-Bashir was praying for a McCain victory and now fear that liberal Democrats will actively support the people of Darfur. Bashir intensely dislikes Susan Rice, the new US Ambassador to the UN who has spoken of the need to end Sudan's murderous policies in Darfur.
Hopefully, in the coming days, protestors in the Arab world, Europe, Latin America and Asia will be marching in the streets with signs saying, "we are all Darfurians." If killing 1,000 is an example of "genocide," then what is the killing of 200,000 to be termed?

Many times I had driven past and through downtown Napa, mostly during the middle of the day and I told myself that I would really like to photograph the area. In order for me to do this properly I need to work alone or with other photographers, not my wife and not after wine tasting. I went out early in the morning and arrived just after sunrise. This building caught my eye. The Napa Mill has been around since 1884. Founded by Captain Albert Hatt the building is now a historic landmark. I really like how the building stands tall in comparison to all the other buildings in the area. The atmosphere surrounding the building is very artistic with the Napa River on one side, Downtown Napa on the other and a residential area on another. Arriving early in the morning allowed me to walk around relatively undisturbed.
Welcome. Thank you for taking your time to visit my galleries. I'm a photographer that makes his home in Northern California. I love getting out shooting the outstanding scenery that this area has to offer. I may be in Yosemite one weekend and the Napa wine country the next. I try not to set limits on where, when or what I shoot. I've been shooting photography now for roughly six years and am learning something new everytime I go out. If you see anything you like please leave a comment, I'll try my best to acknowledge it. If you have any suggestions please feel free to share them. Eventually I plan on branching out to children and pets. Please come back often as I am continously adding new work. If you see work that you like...

If you're not happy with a purchase that you made on FineArtAmerica.com, for any reason, you can return it to us within 30 days of the order date.

Paul Anthony Ciancia Identified As LAX Shooting Suspect
Posted: 11/01/2013 4:32 pm EDT | Updated: 11/01/2013 5:11 pm EDT

FOLLOW: Video, LAX Shooter, Paul Anthony Ciancia, Paul Anthony Ciancia LAX Shooter, Paul Anthony Ciancia Arrested, Paul Ciancia, Lax Shooter Identified, Lax Shooting, Los Angeles Airport Shooter, Los Angeles Airport Shooting, Crime News
Paul Anthony Ciancia
Authorities have identified the individual accused of using an assault rifle to kill a Transportation Security Administration agent inside the Los Angeles International Airport early Friday morning.
Law-enforcement officials tell NBC News that that Paul Anthony Ciancia, 23, entered the airport around 9:20 a.m., Pacific Time, and opened fire inside Terminal 3. The Associated Press also reported that authorities named Ciancia as the suspect.
According to the AP:
A law enforcement official, who was briefed at LAX on the investigation but not authorized to speak publicly, said the gunman was wearing fatigues and carrying a bag containing a hand-written note that said he "wanted to kill TSA and pigs." The official requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.
The suspect was in custody and being treated for injuries sustained during an exchange of gunfire with police.
At a press conference prior to the suspect being named, Patrick Gannon, Chief of Airport Police at LAX, said that an individual "pulled an assault rifle out of a bag and began to open fire in the terminal." Officials said that seven people were treated for injuries as a result of the incident.
Yea, since it wasn't nail clippers or a 5 year old girl, TSA didn't know what to do.
Gun Free Zone - And so it goes.
Piers Morgan on CNN is going into another anti-gun orgazism.
What a crock of shit.
Thankfully, the Perp didn't know much about guns or tactics. Appears to be a "Blaze of misguided glory / Cop Assisted Suicide".
Here is a pic of the weapon used. Appears to be a Mini-14 or Mini-30, perhaps an M1 Carbine.
Just my $0.02.Attachment 36381
Well it's starting again. Might be another buying frenzy if the media and the left start talking gun control.
LAX shooting prompts renewed focus on AR-15 class rifles
A movie theater in Aurora, Colo., an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. and now Los Angeles International Airport – they all have one thing in common: the choice of gun used to terrorize an unsuspecting public.
Friday's shooting at LAX left one Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employee dead, two more injured and an unknown number of witnesses harmed. It started around 9:20 a.m. PT when the gunman, later identified as 23-year-old Paul Ciancia, reportedly walked to the security checkpoint in LAX's Terminal 3, pulled a rifle out of a bag and started firing. A chaotic scene ensued as Ciancia allegedly made his way through the security area and into the terminal, where he exchanged gunfire with police before being apprehended.
Immediately speculation ramped up that it was an AR-15, the same kind of gun James Holmes allegedly used to kill 12 people in Aurora, the same gun Adam Lanza used to kill 26 at Sandy Hook Elementary.
Since then, the rifle has become the target of gun-control advocates, who question the need for a semi-automatic weapon. In the immediate aftermath of the Washington D.C. Navy Yard shooting in September, early reports jumped on the AR-15 as the weapon used in that incident that resulted in the death of 12 people; those reports were later proven false as Aaron Alexis first used a shotgun, then a pistol, according to reports.
Ciancia used an AR-15, which ABC News Los Angeles reported Friday afternoon. And with this news, proponents of gun-control will feel even more emboldened, as the likes of Piers Morgan displayed on Friday.
The debate will begin again: Is it the person or the gun laws? But that's a question for another day. For now, the question is: Why the AR-15?
Continued: http://news.yahoo.com/lax-shooting-201853396.html
Black Blade: Well, at least it wasn't an AK.
Why an AR? BECAUSE IT'S THE MOST POPULAR SPORTING RIFLE IN THE COUNTRY. FOR THE SAME REASON CHEVIES AND FORDS ARE USED IN MORE CRIMES THAN BUGATTIS AND LAMBOS. MORE POPULAR AND MORE AFFORDABLE.
What do these asshats think? The manufacturers put chips in the guns to turn owners mind to homicidal mush?
Uh... LAX... AR clone... nutball killed... didn't that happen a couple of months ago too?
god bless the dead and injured, i just have to blame the media for this one and probably more. they just had to ramble on and on about assault rifles and feed the demented minds with death with the evil black assault rifles.

Hi everyone,
I was thinking about moving to Spain this year/next year and teaching there. However I have been reading about their troubles with the economy (over 20% unemployed) and was wondering if it will be especially difficult to find work because of this?
If anyone has any information regarding this it would be appreciated.

Bill Goodman's One to One interview with Rep. Hal Rogers airs on KET tonight at 6:30 ET.
Eastern Kentucky Rep. Harold "Hal" Rogers has represented the 5th District since 1981. As his website touts, Rep. Rogers is the longest serving Kentucky Republican ever elected to federal office.
Now in his 17th term, he is chairman of the powerful House Appropriations Committee which is charged with approving government expenditures with the exception of entitlement programs. Rogers' physical positioning in the Capitol demonstrates his level of influence. His Capitol office is near Speaker John Boehner's office, other leadership digs, and House chambers.
Rogers represents one of the poorest congressional districts in the nation. The district's problems are exacerbated by substance abuse and addiction, against which he's waged a valiant fight and dedicated financial resources to fixing.
In tonight's interview with Bill Goodman, Rogers talks about the drug scourge plaguing his southern and eastern Kentucky area. He is the only member of the Kentucky federal delegation who hasn't endorsed other prominent state leaders' push for industrial hemp legalization in Kentucky. His concern is that hemp legalization could complicate marijuana eradication efforts, and he also remains unconvinced of the crop's economic viability. He characterizes himself as a "passive opponent" of hemp as he says he's not waging an active fight against it.
Bill and Rep. Rogers also talk about the budget negotiation track, and he explains that only one-third of federal spending is actually appropriated.
As the chairman of the Subcommittee on Homeland Security, Rogers talks with Bill about cyber security, terrorism, and China – all of which he considers to be the biggest threats to Americans and the national economy.
The full interview airs tonight at 6:30 ET. Tomorrow night, the special One to One series of interviews with Kentucky's congressional delegation concludes with 6th District Rep. Andy Barr.

Use ordinary sugar to create decadent cookies, pies, and even decorative spirals. Grab a bag and get started.
- Photo: Becky Luigart-Stayner; Cooking Light
The Raw FactsOnce luxuriously known as "White Gold," sugar is now abundant and affordable. One bag of the white or brown sweet stuff can sweeten dozens of desserts using nearly as many methods. Fire up the torch, grab the heavy skillet, and get started.
Turbinado: Chocolate ThumbprintsSometimes labeled raw sugar or Demerara sugar, turbinado sugar is a golden-brown, large-crystal sugar typically used to top cookies and scones. The coarse grains are large enough to be seen and give the goodies a sugary sparkle after baking. Granulated sugar can be substituted, if needed.
Brown Sugar: Brown Sugar-Banana MuffinsOften used in baking, brown sugar is white sugar with molasses added to it. Enjoy the deep flavor of the caramel-colored pantry staple in cakes or muffins, like this user favorite, made with bananas. When measuring brown sugar, be sure to pack it firmly so that, when inverted into the bowl, the sugar holds the shape of the measuring cup.
Powdered Sugar: Cream Cheese IcingPowdered sugar, or confectioners' sugar, is made by grinding granulated sugar into a fine powder. It dissolves quickly, making it ideal for making icings like this rich Cream Cheese Icing. Slather on fresh-baked, completely-cooled carrot or Italian cream cakes. Add a light dusting around the cake, or on top of cookies, to showcase its decorative side.
Butterscotch: Butterscotch PieIf you thought butterscotch only came in candy form next to the chocolate chips, think again. True butterscotch is made by combining brown sugar with butter and cooking until the consistency resembles wet sand. It takes only a few minutes and gives this homemade pie a rich and creamy flavor. Save any extra and drizzle over your next ice cream sundae.
Spun Sugar: Caramelized Sugar SpiralsShowcase your inner artist with Caramelized Sugar Spirals. The mixture cooks without stirring, so just mix the ingredients and let your stove do the work for about 25 minutes, then drizzle the syrupy sugar combination in spirals on wax paper. As it cools, your artwork will harden into the perfect cake, pie, or ice cream topper.
Brûlée: Honey Créme Brûlée with RaspberriesAny time a recipe requires the use of a kitchen blow torch, the result is guaranteed to be good. Make this dessert the night before, then spoon sugar over top of each custard. Move the torch evenly over the top of the custards until the sugar is completely melted and caramelized. The crisp sugar coating is the perfect complement to the creamy treat waiting below.
Candy: Rock CandyTeach kids about crystallization and satiate their sweet tooth at the same time. This recipe takes up to 14 days to fully crystallize, so enjoy the process and watch the candy grow on the string. Heat water to help sugar fully dissolve, then add food coloring, cinnamon oil, and vanilla. Substitute mint, strawberry, or orange oils to create your own concoctions.
