The 2013 Irish Open begins tomorrow and is poised to be a spectacular festival of golf, as the Carton House Golf Club welcomes a host of world stars to County Kildare.
Four Irish Major Champions will take to the field at Carlton House - Darren Clarke, Padraig Harrington, Graeme McDowell and Rory McIlroy - who have won seven major titles between them in the past six years.
As much as the fans would love to see one of them win the trophy on Sunday evening, the players would be even more eager to do well, considering that the third major of the season is not too far away.
Also competing is Raphael Jacquelin who has three European Tour wins to his name, he will be looking to add another as he comes up against fellow Frenchmen Alexander Levy and Gregory Havret.
Havret has three European Tour wins while Levy is still searching for his first after turning professional in 2010. All three are considered as potential contenders to clinch their first Irish Open win this week.
Shane Lowry will also be taking part as well as a host of Tour winners and Ryder Cup stars plus 2014 captain Paul McGinley. Collectively, there are 79 European Tour winners in the stellar line-up, which includes the defending champion Jamie Donaldson of Wales.
It is a superb platform for the event's return to the Republic of Ireland after a visit to Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland last year.

We are making progress in Virginia in the quest to restore access to 19th century county and city order books. There is another need for researchers to write letters, as explained in the following letter forwarded by Barbara Vines Little.
Dear Genealogical/Historical Researcher,
Thank you for your help in contacting members of the Virginia General Assembly to urge passage of a bill to restore access to 19th century county and city order books.
I contacted you earlier this week, asking that you write members of the House Militia, Police and Public Safety Committee to support HB 100, which will cure that problem.
Thanks to your support, I am pleased to report that HB 100 was unanimously reported out of the House subcommittee yesterday afternoon, and out of the full House Committee this morning. Committee members reported receiving numerous messages supporting the bill. The bill has been amended to make it clear that actual concealed carry permits and applications will remain closed, but order books will be open after 5 years. HB 100 should be routinely approved by the full House in the next week or so, and sent to the Senate for action.
I now need your help with a parallel Senate bill, SB 600, offered by Senator John Cosgrove. While not required, parallel House and Senate bills are often used by proponents in case one bill runs into problems.
SB 600 (also opening order books to the public after five years) will come before the Senate Courts of Justice Committee, probably next Wednesday afternoon.
Please email the members of the Senate Courts of Justice Committee (whose email addresses are below), with the following suggested message (revise as you deem appropriate). I will keep you advised on the progress of both bills.
Thank you for your support of access to Virginia's records!
Peter E. Broadbent, Jr.
Former President, Virginia Genealogical Society

Dear Senator:
I urge you to support SB 600 of Senator John Cosgrove, now before the Senate Courts of Justice Committee. This bill will cure an unintended consequence of prior legislation which has denied researchers access to Virginia historical public records going back to the 1700's.
The Library of Virginia has had to withdraw 222 reels of microfilm from research access. Local clerks have been compelled to deny researchers access to county order books and indices covering the 1800's.
Please cure this barrier to genealogical and historical research in Virginia by passing SB 600.

Writer: Audry Olmsted, 575-921-4056, email@example.com
"Sometimes the worst situations can inspire great things. It happened to me in a way I never predicted or expected."
Jordan Young, of Roswell, said she was inspired to give cancer patients a little piece of home after her cousin was diagnosed with a tumor a few years ago. Young made several trips to Albuquerque with her cousin for treatment. There, she saw that there were several children who had traveled a great distance from home for treatment.
"I wanted to do something that would give them a sense of home because they are away from home a lot of the time," she said. "I decided to make something that no matter what hospital they were receiving treatment at, or how far away they were from home, they could always keep this gift with them. Most everyone has a pillow!"
And so began her project to make "peaceful pillowcases" for children and adults with cancer. Young was moved to call her project "peaceful pillowcases" from a verse in the Bible, Psalm 4:8, which reads, "I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety."
The 4-Her knew she would need help sewing dozens of pillowcases, so she reached out to her fellow 4-H friends with New Mexico State University's Chaves County Cooperative Extension Service on a recent weekend to create approximately 30 pillowcases.
4-Hers and parents brought their own pillowcase-making supplies to be donated to this worthy service project.
The group had fun matching happy, fun colors and patterns for the cases. Each pillowcase consisted of a body, accent and cuff in coordinating colors. Each completed pillowcase was placed in a gift bag with a card bearing the Bible verse for which it is named.
Before the pillowcases were delivered, Young took them to her church, Bethel Baptist, where the members prayed over each pillowcase and the person who would be receiving it.
The most recent batch of homemade pillowcases was delivered to an adult cancer treatment center in Roswell. But this is not the first time Young has put "peaceful pillowcases" into action. Last year, she and a team of 4-H'ers and Girl Scouts completed 85 pillowcases that were given to children with cancer at an Albuquerque hospital through the Basket of Hope Foundation.
"This is a great project that Jordan planned and then initiated. She has done this two years in a row with the 4-Hers," said Shannon Wooton, Extension home economist. "This community service project provides the opportunity for the 4-H kids to come together, practice their sewing skills; from picking their fabric to cutting it, to sewing the pieces and packaging the final product."
Young said this project has really helped her hone her leadership skills.
"Through this project, I learned and developed many leadership skills, such as planning, implementation, accomplishment, motivation, responsibility and involvement. These are lifelong skills," she said. "As a result of the project, I learned that I have the ability to help others and to make a difference in the lives of those who are going through hardship."
Young said this is a 4-H project she would like to continue in the future.

Injured Station survivor lives by her advice to others: 'You have a right to be happy'
Columbia - There's no hint of anger, self-pity or melancholy in Nancy Noyes' canvases, alive with free-form swirls and intersecting drizzles of orange, turquoise, purple, white and much of the rest of the paint store palette - just pure creative energy and verve.
"You can't make this up. It makes itself," said Noyes, standing beside one of her paintings in the tidy, comfortable ranch house she shares with her husband of two years, Allen Falbowski. "I like my own artwork, because I see something different in it each time."
Anyone meeting Noyes, 52, for the first time would hardly guess her to be a survivor of the kind of horror that would have derailed another, less resilient, life. Except on her hands, the scars from The Station nightclub fire she escaped on Feb. 20, 2003, are obscured under the brunette locks that grew back and, she jokes, by the deft use of makeup to soften the ruddiness of her still-scorched complexion.
"Only he can make jokes about my hands," said Noyes, smiling and curling her left hand into a claw as she turned to Falbowski, a handyman who modifies the handles of her large paintbrushes so they're easier to grip.
At the time of the fire, Noyes was living in a New London apartment, running a housecleaning business and still fond of the heavy metal music scene she had been part of after leaving her childhood home of Uncasville for Los Angeles in her 20s. That night she had gone to hear the band Great White perform.
She ended up spending more than two months in Rhode Island Hospital and then Lawrence + Memorial Hospital, coping with skin grafts, lung damage and infections, followed by weeks of physical therapy to try to regain mobility in her hands. She is still considered disabled, and experiences pain when she tries to write or do other tasks that require fine motor skills. Her abstract painting, which she first took up in Los Angeles and started again a few years after the fire, suits her abilities, she said, because her chosen artistic style doesn't require executing fine details.
"Basically, I just use leftover house paint and a house paint brush, and just layer on a series of drizzles and shapes," said Noyes, who exhibited two closet doors from her mother's house, painted in her distinctive style, in the annual January show at the Hygienic Art Gallery in New London, marking them "free." She was happy to learn they had found a home.
"It hurts to paint, but I still paint," she said.
Noyes' best friend, New London resident Amelia Tranchida, said Noyes inspires and encourages her not to let her own past difficult episodes stop her from enjoying life today. The two met after the fire, when Noyes was volunteering at L+M and Tranchida was working at the hospital, where she still works today.
"She's a unique person," said Tranchida. "Considering everything she's been through, she doesn't blame anyone. And she keeps encouraging me to be myself. She leaves me detailed phone messages on my birthday, telling me to celebrate my life, and 'You have a right to be happy.'"
Tranchida admires that Noyes is able to talk about the fire and the aftermath frankly, and even with some humor.
"One day we were walking along Pequot Avenue, and she was telling me how during the fire, she was sitting on the hood of a car outside the nightclub when a fireman came up to her and asked her if she was all right," Tranchida recalled. "She said yes. She didn't know that the top of her head was on fire and smoking."
Noyes has told her story of the fire many times, to People magazine, television and newspaper reporters, and in two chapters of a book she unsuccessfully pitched to publishers. She might have pursued the book further, she said, but projects in her current life seemed more engaging.
The first was the Columbia house she and Falbowski bought and restored in 2007. Noyes took on the task of redesigning the kitchen, ordering the cabinets and appliances and doing what painting she could, while Falbowski did the carpentry. Three years later, the two were planning their wedding, choosing an active volcano in Hawaii for the setting.
"It's kind of weird I was in a fire and got married on a volcano," Noyes said.
Falbowski, standing beside her, said he thought the setting suited their relationship perfectly.
"It's kind of like, out of all this chaos and destruction, there's the creation of this beautiful island," he said.
That same year brought the settlement of a lawsuit by Noyes and other Station fire victims. While declining to talk about the specific amount she received, Noyes is eager to say how she used some of the money. She and Falbowski paid $110,000 for a run-down house in Waterford, then spent $140,000 fixing it up, doing much of the work themselves. Today the home is rented to Navy sailors, providing Noyes with a regular income and the responsibilities of keeping the books for the property and whatever cleaning and upkeep she can handle.
"It was disgusting," she said, showing an album of before-and-after photos of the house. "There were weeds in the gutter, and the yard was so overgrown, you couldn't even see the house from the road."
Over the years since 2003 Noyes has visited the scene of the fire a couple of times. She initially went to support groups and fundraisers for survivors and families of the 100 people killed in the blaze. In the first few years, she said, the events were helpful.
"It gives you a great appreciation for humanity, and that helps you heal," she said.
Now, though, her focus in on the present. What does she plan to do to mark the 10th anniversary?
"Absolutely nothing."
Surviving the fire, she said, "really doesn't change you as much as people think. You just go back to who you are."

Introduction (1.00)
Hello, my name is Stephen Marcok and I'm the author of this guide, which is
specifically meant to inform you about perks in the game "Call of Duty: World
at War." This guide was first made with the Xbox 360 version of the game in
mind, but it's contents can also apply to the PS3, PC, and Wii versions of the
game. This guide will be looking at perks in multiplayer, and in Nazi Zombies.
As of the creation of this guide, Map Pack 2 has been released, so if there are
any new perks in new map packs, they are not guaranteed to be in here.
If you need to specifically find something, use the Table of Contents and find
the number of what you are looking for. Then, use the "Find" feature and type
in the number. It should bring you to where you want to go. (The "Find" feature
shortcut is accessed by pushing "Control" + "F" on the standard internet
browser.) In this guide, sections are divided up by perk slots. For example,
there will be sections like "Perk 1 Slot" and "Perk 2 Slot"
If you need to contact me to ask a question, or to contribute data, you can
contact me at steve.gamefaqs(at)gmail.com If you want to inform me about
spelling errors, go ahead, but please be informed that I'm spelling things
the Canadian way. That's "colour," not "color!"If you email me, put "Call of
Duty" somewhere in the email title. And on a side note, please put a name to
be credited by if you're contributing information.
Thanks. :-)

Version 1.40 perks by now, but it appears it was not to be. I've been
busier then expected, so I might finish this a bit later then
I had planned. However, on the other hand I did sort through
the large amount of emails that I recieved, and I've taken the
information that I needed from them. Thanks to everyone who
contributed. :-)

Sept. 28, 2009 Getting a few more sections here and there done.
Version 1.60
Perk 1 Slot (3.00)
At a glance, there are 8 different perks in this slot. These perks revolve
around weapons, and can do things such as give you more ammo, or even give you
whole weapons. The perks are listed in the order that they appear in the game.
Special Grenades x 3 (3.01)
In game description: "Three special grenades. No smoke."
Level unlocked at: Level 1
What it does: This perk simply gives you three special grenades. You have one
primary grenade, and three secondary ones. However, this perk will not work if
you have smoke grenades - it will only work with Signal Flares or Tabun Gas.
How to use: Simply throw a secondary grenade. On the Xbox, this can be done by
hitting LB on the controller.
How to defend against: Use the perk "Shades" or "Gas Mask." Shades will help
with Signal Flares, and Gas Mask will help with Tabun Gas. Personally, I don't
think either of these are necessary.
Satchel Charge x 2 (3.02)
In game description: "Two remote detonation explosives."
Level unlocked at: Level 1
What it does: Satchel charges are like little bombs that can be thrown in an
area. This perk gives you two of them. When thrown, they can be detonated from
anywhere else on the map. They're especially useful in maps with tanks, because
if a tank runs over one, and it is detonated, it will take out the tank and
whoever is in it instantly.
How to use: Simply throw it where you like, and then detonate it using the
same button that you use to shoot.
How to defend against: Equip the perk "Bomb Squad," as this will help you spot
the satchel charges.
M9A1 Bazooka x 2 (3.03)
In game description: "M9A1 bazooka with two rockets."
Level unlocked at: Level 2
What it does: This bazooka comes equipped with two rockets, used as ammo. If
you see a large group of enemy players, feel free to pull this thing out and
kill all of them. It makes rather large explosions, and is deadly if it hits
near you. The bazooka can also be used against tanks, just like satchel
How to use: On the Xbox, press left on the D-Pad. Then aim, and fire! You can
NOT fire this weapon from the hip, and it takes a while to fire and reload, so
watch out.
How to defend against: The perk "Flak Jacket" should help you a bit, but will
definitely not stop you from dying if you get hit directly. The best way to
defend against a bazooka would be to hide behind something, and take out the
enemy before they fire it at you. If you happen to be fired at while in a tank,
make sure you leave the tank before it explodes.
Bomb Squad (3.04)
In game description: "Ability to seek out enemy explosives."
Level unlocked at: Level 16
What it does: This perk will show you where exactly bouncing betties and
satchel charges are placed. Using the knowledge that this perk gives you, you
should be able to avoid these explosives and keep your life. You can tell where
the explosives are by a sign that appears above them.
How to use: Simply equip the perk, and it will do its job automatically.
How to defend against: This perk does not create a threat to other players, so
there is no need to defend against it.
Bouncing Betty x 2 (3.05)
In game description: "Two pressure activated mines."
Level unlocked at: Level 24
What it does: Bouncing betties are actually an extremely useful type of weapon.
As the description says, they're mines that are activated when they sense
pressure. They're small white objects that can be placed nearly anywhere on the
map, and when an enemy player comes near them, they'll "bounce" and will then
explode. (The only exceptions as to where these mines can be placed are in
bodies of water.) In hardcore modes, it's hard to survive after having a
bouncing betty explode anywhere near you. However, in regular core modes, if
you aren't walking right into the mine, you might survive. If you like to
snipe, or hide in certain locations around the map, bouncing betties are good
at protecting you from enemy players coming near. Note that whether you're in
hardcore, or just plain core, bouncing betties will not go off in the event
that you or a teammate walks by.
How to use: With the perk equipped, you get 2 bouncing betties. On the Xbox,
select the bouncing betty by hitting left on the D-Pad, and then place it by
using the "fire" button - the same button that you use to fire your gun. If you
place the betty around a corner, enemy players will not be able to see it, and
therefore likely won't defend against it.
How to defend against: Bouncing betties can be destroyed by being shot.
However, if you're shooting them make sure you do it from a distance, because
when shot they'll explode. Betties can also be destroyed by any type of primary
grenade. Frag, sticky, and Molotov. Satchel charges will also work against
them. However, the best defense against them is the perk "Bomb Squad."
Bandolier (3.06)
In game description: "Extra ammunition magazines."
Level unlocked at: Level 40
What it does: Bandolier is a perk that gives you extra ammo for all of your
guns. For some guns, this perk is unnecessary, but for other guns that don't
give very much ammo, this perk could be extremely useful. It all just depends
on what gun you're using.
How to use: There's really nothing that you need to do. Equip the perk, and
more ammo will be given to you automatically.
How to defend against: Kill the enemy. Okay? :-) There really is nothing much
to defend against.
Primary Grenades x 2 (3.07)
In game description: "Two primary grenades."
Level unlocked at: Level 44
What it does: The in game description basically explains this perk thoroughly.
When equipped, you'll get two primary grenades, instead of just one. If you
like to use Frag, Sticky, or Molotov "grenades," then equip this perk so
you can have more.
How to use: Equip the perk, and you'll automatically get 2 grenades. Quite
How to defend against: If you see a grenade get thrown near you, run away!
In regular core modes, you'll see an indicator, but in hardcore modes, you'll
only have sight and sound to determine where a grenade is. If you're really
close to a grenade, and you know you won't be able to run away in time, throw
it back. In regular core modes, it will tell you what button to press to throw
it back. I believe that it's the same button you use to throw your own
M2 Flamethrower (3.08)
In game description: "Projects a controlled stream of fire."
Level unlocked at: Level 65
What it does: It's a long wait to get this perk. The M2 Flamethrower, normally
just called the Flamethrower, is extremely deadly at close range.
Unfortunately, that's really the only range it's good for. When used, it
projects a stream of fire that can kill enemies fast in core modes, and almost
instantly in hardcore modes. However, this stream doesn't go too far ahead of
the user, so if you want to kill a person with this, you need to be close to
them. Another problem with this weapon is that after a few seconds of use, it
will need to cool down for a few seconds, and at that time can't be used.
How to use: Simply equip the perk, and on the Xbox, press left on the D-Pad.
To fire, push the same button that you would use to fire any other gun. In core
modes, the flamethrower will not harm your own team, but in hardcore it will,
so watch out! With all the flames, you might not be able to see who's who.
How to defend against: If you really want to, you can equip the perk
"Fireproof." However, since the flamethrower is unlocked at the last level, not
many people will use it so using the perk Fireproof is somewhat useless, in my
opinion. If you really want to stay safe from a flamethrower, keep away from
the person using it. They shouldn't be too disguised, especially since there's
a stream of fire coming from their area...
Perk 2 Slot (4.00)
At a glance, there are 10 different perks that can be placed in this slot.
Unlike the Perk 1 Slot perks, these perks don't really focus on weapons. Some
focus on defending you from the enemy, and other's focus on assisting your
weapons. For example, Camouflage defends you from the enemy, while Sleight
of Hand makes using a weapon easier. The perks here are listed in the order
that they are unlocked in the game. All of these perks work automatically,
and other then just equipping them, there is no other work needed to be done
to use them properly. If you see an "N/A" next to a spot, it means that it's
not applicable.
Stopping Power (4.01)
In game description: "Increased bullet damage."
Level unlocked at: Level 1
What it does: Stopping power is a good perk to use if you're using a gun that
isn't the most powerful. Basically, what it does is increase the damage that
any type of bullet does on an enemy. For example, if you were shooting someone
with a .357 Magnum, and Stopping Power equipped, it would take less shots to
kill someone then if you were using it without Stopping Power. Of course, in
Hardcore mode, this perk might not be the most useful thing, due to the minimal
health that you have to begin with, but in regular core modes, this perk can
be useful for killing people faster. It's said that with Stopping Power
equipped, bullets do 140% (or x1.4) of the damage that they do without the perk
What it defends from: N/A
What it assists: Any type of gun that you use
Fireworks (4.02)
In game description: "Higher explosive weapon damage."
Level unlocked at: Level 1
What it does: This perk is really rather simple, and it's one that I hardly
care for at all. Simply put, it makes explosives give more damage. For example,
if a player had this equipped and they threw a grenade at an enemy player,
that enemy player would have to be farther away from the grenade in order to
survive its explosion. It's the same thing with Bazookas and all other
explosives. If I fired a Bazooka at a wall that an enemy was near, they'd need
to be farther away from the wall to survive. It's said that with Fireworks
eqipped, explosions will do 125%, or x1.25 the amount of damage an explosion
would give without Fireworks equipped.
What it defends from: N/A
What it assists: Bazookas, grenades, and other explosives.
Flak Jacket (4.03)
In game description: "Reduces explosive damage."
Level unlocked at: Level 1
What it does: Like the Fireworks perk, this one is quite simple, and is one I
don't care for or like to use. It does the exact opposite of fireworks, and
cancels it out. Sort of like mathematics. I would explain in a mathematical
way, but that is completely unnecessary, and this guide isn't on the
mathematic adventures in Call of Duty. :-) Anyways... this perk reduces the
damage that explosives do. If an enemy threw a grenade at you, you could be a
bit closer to it when it exploded, and you wouldn't die. Without this perk
equipped, you would need to be a bit farther away in order to survive. I say
that this perk cancels out "Fireworks," because Fireworks adds damage to the
explosive, while Flak Jacket takes an equal amount away, therefore bringing
the amount back to the middle.
What it defends from: Bazookas, grenades, and other explosives.
What it assists: N/A
Gas Mask (4.04)
In game description: "Protects against Tabun Gas."
Level unlocked at: Level 2
What it does: In my humble opinion, this is one of the most useless perks out
there. You may notice that sometimes, enemy players throw an object at you,
(which is actually a type of secondary grenade,) and your player starts
coughing and wheezing. It gets hard to turn around, and it's hard to aim your
weapon. Well, that gas is called Tabun Gas, and this perk defends against it.
Basically, if you have this perk equipped, you can travel through all the
Tabun Gas that you'd like, and you won't be harmed by it at all. Of course,
this idea isn't the best to practice, and you should probably focus on killing
the enemy who threw the gas grenade at you instead.
What it defends from: Tabun Gas Secondary Grenade
What it assists: N/A
Juggernaut (4.05)
In game description: "Increased health."
Level unlocked at: Level 4
What it does: This can be a great perk to use if you don't have many unlocked,
but later on there will be much more useful ones. Like how Flak Jacket and
Fireworks cancel each other out, this perk and Stopping Power cancel each
other out. This perk does the exact opposite of Stopping Power. It allows you
to take more hits from weapons without dying. For example, if the enemy was
firing an MP40 at you, you could survive more shots then if you didn't have
this perk equipped. It's said that with Juggernaut equipped, you recieve
75% of the damage that you would get if you didn't have Juggernaut equipped.
What it defends from: Enemy weapons
What it assists: Your health
NOTE: Nazi Zombie perk "Jugger-Nog" is based off of this perk.
Camouflage (4.06)
In game description: "Undetectable to enemy recon planes."
Level unlocked at: Level 12
What it does: This is my second favourite Slot 2 perk, falling just behind
Overkill. If an enemy team calls in a recon plane after someone gets a 3 kill
streak, then you won't appear on their map. Anyone else on your team who
doesn't have Camouflage eqipped will appear on their map. This is a great
perk to use in Hardcore modes, and is a great way to continue hiding if you
like to snipe. It really sucks when you've found a great sniping location,
only to be found by enemy recon planes. Having this perk equipped stops all of
What it defends from: Enemy recon planes
What it assists: N/A
Sleight of Hand (4.07)
In game description: "Faster reloads."
Level unlocked at: Level 28
What it does: Sleight of Hand is necessary for some guns, and isn't too
necessary for others. What it does is speed up the reloading process by a very
large amount. You can definitely notice the decrease in time that it takes for
your player to reload. For some guns, using this may be a waste of a perk, but
for others it would be hard to survive without. I recommend using this perk
with any weapon that has a small clip, or that takes a while to reload. For
example, the Trench Gun, and definitely the Double Barrelled shotgun could
benefit from this perk.
What it defends from: N/A
What it assists: Any weapons that have slow reload times, especially shotguns.
NOTE: Nazi Zombie perk "Speed Cola" is based off of this perk.
Shades (4.08)
In game description: "Reduces the intensity of signal flares."
Level unlocked at: Level 32
What it does: This perk seems useless to me. It's just like the perk "Gas
Mask," only it defends against Signal Flares instead of Tabun Gas. If you've
ever seen someone throw something at you that seemed to explode into a bright
light, that's a signal flare. They're sort of annoying, but they're definitely
not bad enough that you should need a perk to defend against them. Well, this
perk does exactly that. It dims the signal flare, and "reduces its intensity."
This perk isn't often used, probably because there are much better perks out
there. In my opinion, the only time that this should be equipped is if you're
trying to complete challenges.
What it defends from: Signal Flare Secondary Grenades
What it assists: N/A
Double Tap (4.09)
In game description: "Increased rate of fire."
Level unlocked at: Level 36
What it does: This makes guns fire faster. It may not work with all guns. I
believe that this is most effective on Machine Guns and Submachine Guns,
as well as bolt action rifles. This is because for machine guns, it can make
their high rate of fire even higher, and for Bolt Action Rifles, you can
shoot bullets faster. With this perk equipped, it should take hardly any time
to kill people, and in hardcore mode, it should go extremely fast. While this
is a good choice of a perk, I think that there can still be ones that are more
effective, though it really depends on what type of weapon you're using it for.
What it defends from: N/A.
What it assists: Submachine guns, Machine guns, Bolt Action Rifles,
Trench Gun, M1 Garand, STG-44
NOTE: Nazi Zombie perk "Double Tap" is based off of this perk.
Overkill (4.10)
In game description: "Carry two primary guns, no pistol."
Level unlocked at: Level 56
What it does: When you make a custom class, you're required to pick two
guns. Your primary gun can be a Bolt Action Rifle, Rifle, Shotgun, Submachine
Gun, or Machine Gun. Your second gun needs to be a pistol, and there are five
or six different types for you to choose from. However, with this perk
equipped, you don't carry a pistol. Instead, your second gun is another primary
gun! This perk is extremely useful, and is my absolute favourite perk from the
Perk 2 Slot. I recommend using a Submachine Gun or Machine Gun as one type, and
a Bolt Action Rifle with a sniper scope as the second type. With this
combination, you can easily take out enemies whether they're near you, or far
away from you. You'll be prepared for a number of different circumstances.
However, you can use this perk however you like. Just note that you can't carry
two of the same guns. For example, if your first primary gun was an MP40, your
second primary gun won't be able to be an MP40.
What it defends from: N/A
What it assists: How prepared you are.
Perk 3 Slot (5.00)
This section is currently under "construction" and should be completed soon. At
least, I really hope so. I'm kind of busy this week, which is the second week
of July 2009.
Update: I'm progressing - I haven't forgotten about this! D: (Sept 28, 2009)
At a glance, there are 10 different perks in the Perk 3 Slot. In general, I
think that the majority of these perks affect you as the player, and may
increase your player's performance. For example, Iron Lungs will give you the
ability to hold your breath longer, and Extreme Conditioning will give you the
ability to sprint for longer distances. The perks here are listed in the order
that they appear, and are unlocked in the game. Like the Perk 2 Slot perks, all
of these perks are activated automatically when they are needed, and all you
need to do is equip them when you make your custom class. If you see an "N/A"
next to a spot, it means that it's not applicable.
Deep Impact (5.01)
In game description: "Deeper bullet penetration."
Level unlocked at: Level 1
What it does: Deep Impact is an okay perk, but definitely isn't one of the best
ones available. This perk makes the shot bullet travel and penetrate farther
through walls and other surfaces. For example, if an enemy was hiding behind a
brick wall that can be shot through, they'll get more damage if they're hit
behind the wall, then they would get if they were hit behind the wall by
someone who doesn't have Deep Impact equipped.
What it defends from: N/A
What it assists: All guns
Extreme Conditioning (5.02)
In game description: "Sprint for longer distances."
Level unlocked at: Level 1
What it does: Extreme Conditioning is an okay perk, but its usefulness really
depends on what mode you're playing in. What it does is allow you to sprint for
much longer distances than you could if you didn't have the perk equipped.
It's said that the change is sprinting distance is doubled. For example,
if the player could originally sprint 50 metres, with this equipped they might
be able to sprint for 100 metres. Whether you use it or not should be up to
mode you're playing in. For example, if you were playing in Hardcore Team
Deathmatch, this perk might not have much of a use, compared to the other perks
that are available in the 3rd Perk Slot.
What it defends from: N/A
What it assists: Sprinting endurance
Steady Aim (5.03)
In game description: "Increased hip-fire accuracy."
Level unlocked at: Level 1
What it does: Steady Aim is an okay perk for beginners, but once you get better
at the game this perk really isn't that necessary. What it does is increase the
accuracy of the gun, when you're firing it from the hip. I've been asked this
once, so for anyone who's curious about what "hip-fire" is, it's when you fire
the gun without looking through the sights. Some people like to always look
through the sights when they shoot, so for those people, this perk shouldn't
be necessary at all. This perk is actually quite effective with shotguns, as
you don't need to waste precious seconds aiming.
What it defends from: N/A
What it assists: Aiming from the hip instead of through the sights of the gun.
Toss Back (5.04)
In game description: "Resets fuse of picked up grenades"
Level unlocked at: Level 6
What it does: Toss Back is a moderately useful perk, but I personally don't
think it can be used enough times to be considered a good candidate to take up
your Perk 3 slot. In the game, it resets the fuse of thrown back grenades. In
regular core modes, when there's a grenade thrown near you, an indicator shows
up showing you what direction it's in. If you're close enough to the grenade,
it gives you the option to throw it back, which is activated by pressing the
same button you use to throw a normal grenade of your own. (For example, RB on
the Xbox 360 and R2 on the PS3.) However, occasionally when you attempt to
throw it back, you'll find that the grenade has already been "cooked", and
it'll go off before you have a chance to get it out of the area, while you're
in mid-throw. This perk eliminates that problem, becuase as soon as you pick
the grenade up, the fuse will reset and you'll have more then enough time to
get it out of the area, and if you're lucky, into the enemy's area. I don't
think this perk would be much of a help in hardcore mode, because in hardcore
mode there isn't an indicator showing where the grenade is, so it's a LOT
harder to throw back.
What it defends from: Thrown grenades.
What it assists: N/A
Second Chance (5.05)
In game description: "Revive downed allies."
Level unlocked at: Level 9
What it does: Second chance is somewhat like the Last Stand perk from Call of
Duty 4, except better. This is definitely one of my favourite Perk 3 Slot
perks, and I have it equipped on most of my classes. In the game, if you have
this perk equipped, you'll get a "second chance" before death to finish the
enemy off, and/or to be revived by a teammate. Basically, what happens is that
when you're shot and damaged enough to be on the brink of death, you fall into
a somewhat "prone" position and automatically take out your side arm. During
this time, you can shoot with only your side arm, and there are three possible
things that you can do:
1. If an enemy is near you, you can try to kill them (it counts as a normal
kill on your records.)
2. You can wait for someone on your team to revive you. Once put into second
chance, you live until the enemy either damages you in any way (direct impact
of grenades, explosions, bullets, etc,) or until 30 seconds pass. While you're
alive, your teammates have the option to revive you, if they choose too.
HOWEVER, not every teammate can revive you. Only other teammates who have
second chance equipped can revive people. (If you've ever played Nazi Zombies
with other people, and they've gone down due to zombie attacks, you also have
the option to revive them in the exact same way that you would in online
multiplayer!) If you have second chance equipped, and a teammate goes down, a
"REVIVE" notification will pop up on the screen showing their location, so that
you can revive them if you choose to.
3. Let yourself die. If no enemies are shooting at you, nobody is bothering to
revive you, and you don't feel like waiting the 30 seconds for you to die
automatically, you can let yourself die by hitting the same button that you
would use to reload. (For example, the X button on the Xbox 360.)
NOTE: If you're using the perk Overkill, or you picked up two primary weapons
before being put into second chance, you will not pull out a primary weapon
instead of a side arm. Instead, you'll pull out the Colt M1911.
What it defends from: Can occasionally prevent death.
What it assists: Teammates with this perk equipped.
Martyrdom (5.06)
In game description: "Drop a live grenade when killed."
Level unlocked at: Level 20
What it does: Martyrdom is somewhat similar to the perk Second Chance, in the
sense that it gives you the ability to kill enemies after being downed/killed.
However, Martyrdom doesn't give you any control, while Second Chance does. What
happens with Martyrdom is that right after you die, you'll immediately drop a
live grenade that has the pin pulled. This grenade will go off, and will kill
anybody (or anything, like a dog,) that comes near your corpse after death.
This perk is more useful with the perk fireworks, which causes higher explosive
damage. Personally, I prefer Second Chance more, and find it more useful for
people who really want revenge on their murderers. ;-) Oh, and another thing
that I should point out is that this perk is extremely annoying in hardcore
mode. I guarantee that you'll get more teamkills then you will kills on the
enemy, which'll really annoy your teammates. This is normally because in
hardcore mode, you travel in small groups.
What it defends from: N/A
What it assists: May kill enemies who go near your dead body.
Fireproof (5.07)
In game description: "Reduced fire based weapon damage."
Level unlocked at: Level 48
What it does: This is another perk that can be quite useful, but isn't used
enough to be considered worth the Perk 3 Slot that it takes up. I think that
there are far better perks out there then this one. This perk helps you defend
against weapons that use fire to damage, such as flamethrowers or molotov
cocktail grenades.
NOTE: These weapons will still damage you, and may eventually kill you, but
it'll take more hits from the weapon in order to die. Basically, this weapon
buys you some time that you could use to take out the enemy who's incinerating
What it defends from: Flamethrowers, Molotov Cocktails.
What it assists: N/A
Dead Silence (5.08)
In game description: "Make less sound when you move."
Level unlocked at: Level 52
What it does:
What it defends from: Nearby enemies
What it assists: N/A
Iron Lungs (5.09)
In game description: "Longer breath hold while sniping."
Level unlocked at: Level 60
What it does:
What it defends from: N/A
What it assists: All scoped sniper rifles
Reconnaissance (5.10)
In game description: "Shows enemy dogs, artillery, and tanks."
Level unlocked at: Level 64
What it does:
What it defends from: Enemy dogs, artillery, and tanks.
What it assists: N/A
Vehicle Perks (6.00)
This section is currently under "construction" and should be completed soon. At
least, I really hope so. I'm kind of busy this week, which is the second week
of July 2009.
Water Cooler (6.01)
In game description: "Decrease turret overheat."
Level unlocked at: Level 1
Greased Bearings (6.02)
In game description: "Increases turret rotation speed."
Level unlocked at: Level 2
Ordnance Training (6.03)
In game description: "Decreases the reload time of turrets."
Level unlocked at: Level 12
Leadfoot (6.04)
In game description: "Increases top tank speed."
Level unlocked at: Level 28
Coaxial Machine Gun (6.05)
In game description: "Driver controlled machine gun."
Level unlocked at: Level 40
Nazi Zombie Perks (7.00)
Nazi Zombie maps number 2 and 3 have something that the first one didn't.
Perks! In total, there are four perks to help assist you in killing those
zombies, and this section of the guide will help explain them to you. Note:
Perks disappear when you need to be revived, so you need to buy them again.
2nd Note: There is no Nazi Zombies in the Wii version of this game.
Double Tap (7.01)
Description: This is the same perk as the multiplayer perk "Double Tap." It
will help you fire your gun faster, so you can take out more zombies faster.
The problem with this is that it will make you need to reload more often.
Colour: Yellow
Location: Verruckt Map - 2nd Floor
Shi no Numa Map - Random
Cost: 2000 Points
Jugger-Nog (7.02)
Description: This perk is the same as the multiplayer perk "Juggernaut."
Basically, it gives you increased health, and lets you survive more zombies
coming up to you and attacking you. Even if you have this perk equipped, you're
guaranteed to go down eventually, but this perk will give you extra health so
that you don't go down as fast. What I mean by "go down" is "need to be
Colour: Red
Location: Verruckt Map - 1st Floor
Shi no Numa Map - Random
Cost: 2500 points
Quick Revive (7.03)
Description: Quick Revive is not based off of any other perk in multiplayer
modes. Nazi Zombies is the only place where you can find it. Quick Revive is
the cheapest perk that you can buy, and is somewhat helpful. If a teammate of
yours goes down because of zombies, you can revive them much quicker then you
could if you didn't have quick revive. It speeds up the process, reducing the
amount of time that zombies have to break through windows and make you go down
as well. This can be especially helpful in later levels, when zombies are much
faster and deadlier. Unfortunately, if you go down, and another teammate who
doesn't have quick revive needs to revive you, it'll go at a regular, slow
Colour: Blue
Location: Verruckt Map - 1st Floor
Shi no Numa Map - Random
Cost: 1500 Points
Speed Cola (7.04)
Description: This is my favourite Nazi Zombies perk. It does the same thing as
the multiplayer perk "Sleight of Hand," and is very, very useful. Basically, it
speeds up the reload process by a large amount. You spend less time reloading,
and more time firing. In later levels when zombies come frequently, this is
almost needed. It's also extremely helpful for shotguns, and weapons such as
Shi no Numa's Wunderwaffe, which take long amounts of time to reload. The only
problem with this perk is that it's kind of pricey, and if you go down, you
lose it.
Colour: Green
Location: Verruckt Map - 2nd Floor

Cost: 3000 Points

Ceticismo Aberto necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 76 diseños de 29 diseñadores freelance.
Ceticismo Aberto
"CeticismoAberto" <http://www.ceticismoaberto.com> is the largest website in Portuguese about Aliens, Ghosts and the whole Paranormal enchillada, but with one important detail: we offer serious analysis emphasizing the need for critical evaluation of such claims. Our brand name means, afterall, "Open Skepticism" in Brazilian Portuguese, as part of the Skeptical Movement founded by figures such as Carl Sagan, Martin Gardner and Isaac Asimov.
CeticismoAberto targets a broad audience interested by the Paranormal, but without compromising a serious and down-to-earth approach. By default, the current audience is mostly male and in their 20-40s -- the "X-File" fans -- but we would also like to reach for a very broad audience, including the "New Age" group.
The rebranded logo will be immediately used in a renewed design for the website, as well as promotional items such as T-shirts, mugs, etc.
We already have an established symbol which pleases us, a stylized question mark (see attached files).
The rebranded logo should ideally revisit the established symbol along with the brand name, perhaps integrating the question mark with a suggestion of the paranormal subject being evaluated.
The logo can be reasonably complex, but a simple logo which also manages to portray the idea of critically evaluating the claims of the paranormal is what we are thinking beforehand.
The logo ***must not*** be something simply suggesting a big theme of the paranormal -- for instance, an alien on a flying saucer. It *must* express the idea that such claim is being critically evaluated. In fact, the critical evaluation is the most important idea, that's why the current symbol is a question mark.
= We want a rebranded logo revisiting the current "question mark" symbol;
= The "CeticismoAberto" written in Arial font should probably be one of the first things to change;
= The logo should attract X-Files, New Age fans, while still suggesting the subject is explored with a twist;
= Brains, question marks, magnifying lenses are fine, but only if they look great!
= Aliens, monsters, ghosts may also be fine, but remember *we are skeptics*!!!
We will require a *vector design*, to be freely rescaled, as well as a layered PSD.

This page contains about Queen for a Day: Transformistas, Beauty Queens, and the Performance of Femininity in Venezuela (Perverse Modernities: A Series Edited by Jack Halberstam and Lisa Lowe) half a dozen thousand ebooks from hundreds of authors. The collection of these publications have been in the following categories: fictions/novels, short tales, poems, essays, represents, nonfictions. Many of the books are basic works of United states Literature, English Books, and Irish Novels from well-known authors such as William Shakespeare, Level Twain, Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde, Robert Ice, Edgar Allan Poe, Alexander Pope, Arthur Conan Doyle, Anne Austen. and more authors' works will likely be added to the online collection. With these Queen for a Day: Transformistas, Beauty Queens, and the Performance of Femininity in Venezuela (Perverse Modernities: A Series Edited by Jack Halberstam and Lisa Lowe) special pages, you'll discover many give winning publications readily available for your on the web reading. Get pleasure from and you should tell a friend, thanks.
Description :Queen for a Day connects the logic of Venezuelan modernity with the production of a national femininity. In this ethnography, Marcia Ochoa considers how femininities are produced, performed, and consumed in the mass-media spectacles of international beauty pageants, on the runways of the Miss Venezuela contest, on the well-traveled Caracas avenue where transgender women (transformistas) project themselves into the urban imaginary, and on the bodies of both transformistas and beauty pageant contestants (misses). Placing transformistas and misses in the same analytic frame enables Ochoa to delve deeply into complex questions of media and spectacle, gender and sexuality, race and class, and self-fashioning and identity in Venezuela.
Beauty pageants play an outsized role in Venezuela. The country has won more international beauty contests than any other. The femininity performed by Venezuelan women in high-profile, widely viewed pageants defines a kind of national femininity. Ochoa argues that as transformistas and misses work to achieve the bodies, clothing and makeup styles, and postures and gestures of this national femininity, they come to embody Venezuelan modernity.

BRAIDWOOD — After ripping off five straight victories following a 12th-place finish at the Plano Christmas Classic, the Coal City Coalers winning streak came to an end Saturday night in Reed-Custer against the Lisle Lions with a 58-34 loss.
The game got off to a great start for the second-seeded Lions as they jumped out to an early 6-2 lead over Coal City. The seventh-seeded Coalers responded when senior guard Joe Micetich nailed a three, but Coal City would go to the first break trailing by a score of 10-7.
However, that small deficit could have easily been a lead had the Coalers been able to take advantage of several deep touches in the post.
"Our big guys just didn't make strong post moves," Coal City head coach Brad Boresi said. "We got the ball inside and we were able to get them in foul trouble, but even though we were getting fouled, we have to be strong enough down there to finish those plays."
In the second quarter, Coal City made a living at the free throw line and was able to erase the deficit and take a lead on a three-point play by junior center Nick Peters. Peters would finish the game with nine points while going 7-for-7 from the charity stripe.
That was enough for Peters to lead the Coalers in scoring on the night, and he did so while playing more of a distributor's role from the high-post in Coal City's offense.
"I like to be out there dishing the ball off, but I really need to make sure that I'm out there working on all aspects of the game and not just passing," Peters said. "I have to get back to attacking the rim and scoring as well as passing."
With Coal City's other primary scoring option, senior post Jon West, in foul trouble, Lisle was able to close the half on a small run, and would carry a 23-19 lead into the half. Senior swingman Lamont Harris was the catalyst for Lisle's offense, scoring 13 of his 19 points in the first half.
In the second half, Coal City and Lisle traded baskets early before Lisle began applying the pressure in their half-court defense. The Lions sank into a zone and turned Coal City over seven times in the third quarter while outscoring the Coalers 17-6 on the period.
"We, unfortunately, have a tendency to get careless with the basketball," Boresi said. "That second half was a prime example. We know what our zone offense principles are, and careless weak passes aren't going to get it done."
In the fourth quarter, West fouled with 7:50 remaining and Lisle was able capitalize and extend the lead by continuing its torrid second-half shooting (63 percent for the half). Conversely, the Coalers went cold from the free-throw line, missing six straight attempts at one point and finishing 12-for-21 on the night after hitting nine of their first 11 attempts.
"It's all about being able to step up in the game and make those (free throw) shots," Boresi said. "We spend plenty of time shooting them in practice, it's just a matter of them getting the job done."
Lisle will advance to play third-seeded Westmont in a semifinal matchup on Tuesday night, while Coal City will move on to play Wilmington in the fifth-place bracket. With two more games guaranteed in the conference tournament and regional play upcoming, the Coalers hope Saturday's blowout loss doesn't kill the momentum they've built post-holidays.
"Our coaches are good at getting us focused on our team goals in practice, and I know when we come in Monday they're gonna get us ready to take that next step," Peters said.
Lisle ends Coal City five game win streak

House at Spew Corner
Chapter 1
We are introduced to Winnie-the-Spew and our story begins
So here comes Christopher Robbin and his precious Bear kerplunking and headthunking down the stairs, bump, bump, bump, one at a time, having awakened Daddy, MS, from his sound, bearlike slumber. One swift kick and Christoper Robbin and Winnie-the-Spew are already downstairs for breakfast, all of their arms bent in funny and unusual ways.
"Oh, look at this, Spew, I can point in two directions at the same time with only one arm!"
"I'm sorry," says Christopher Robbin, "but I just wanted you to tell us a story. Please tell us a story, or I'll simply have to tell Mummy you've kicked us down the stairs again. And you know how much she hates that when her hands are still shackled in the morning."
Usually Bear likes some sort of game when he comes downstairs, a game of matches or running with scissors. But today Winnie-the-Spew, for that's the name Christopher Robbin most often calls him, though it's more of a girl's name and makes Bear piddle, wants to hear a story.
"And what kind of story do you want me to tell you?"
"Oh, please, not about wine and bouquets and drinking and feeling the lovely bumps on Jancis again. Spew likes stories about himself. Those are his favorite stories. Tell us about the adventures of Winnie-the-Spew!"
And so our story begins.
Once upon a time, a very long time ago, it must have been before 9/11, Winnie-the-Spew lived all by himself in the vineyards under the name of Mondavi. Winnie Mondavi. It was on a big gold-plated sign so that's how we know. This is all the explanation you're going to get.
("But what does it mean, 'under the name?'" asks Christopher Robbin.
"Shut the fuck up and listen."
"I hope you die," says Christoper Robbin.)
One day when Spew was out walking in the vineyard he came to a strange building and from the building there was a lot of noise and many strange smells. Spew sat down and stroking his chin with his paw he started to think.
"I don't have much of a brain," said Spew, "but I know that there is a lot of noise coming from this building, and there wouldn't be a lot of noise unless there was something going on. If I'm in a vineyard and most of the grapes are gone it means the noise is wine being made. And if wine is being made then there's only one thing to do. Get shitfaced."
And so Spew entered the large, strange building and there in front of him were giant, shiny steel tanks. "That must be where they keep the wine!" thought Spew. And so he began to climb. He climbed up and up, higher and higher, up and up, and while he climbed he sang a little song.
Isn't it fine
How a bear likes wine?
Slurp Slurp Slurp
You can smell it on my burp.
He kept climbing...and climbing...and climbing...and he climbed so long that he thought of another song.
Wouldn't it be funny
Wish I'd thought of it sooner
If instead of tasty wine
This is filled with fuckin' Gruner?
Spew was getting rather tired now but he was almost at the top. He began to sing a Complaining Song, but we shan't sing it here, and when he was through he was peering over the top of the giant, shiny steel tank.
"I wonder what it smells like," thought our nearly brainless Bear, "if it smells like melons or figs or catpee or Christoper Robbin's bed sheets, though he's nearly nine years old." To find out what the wine smelled like, Spew lowered his head into the giant, shiny steel tank and took a deep breath.
It was carbon dioxide and Spew fell into the shiny steel tank of wine and drowned.
Chapter 2
In which we meet Eelaub and search for his nose.
One day Winnie-the-Spew was walking through Nap Valley and came across his friend, the ever-morose Eelaub.
"How are you today?" asked Winnie-the-Spew.
"What's it to ya, you stuffed piece of crap?"
"Oh, bother, you are a pompous ass. Let me take a look at you." And Spew walked round and round Eelaub until he noticed that something was missing.
"Something is missing," he said.
"Yeah, your genitalia, for one thing."
"No, it's your nose. You don't have a nose."
"Are you sure?"
"Well," said Spew, "you either have a nose or you don't have a nose. I think everyone would agree you don't have a nose."
So Eelaub walked over to the Nap River and peered at his reflection. Where once he'd had a nose, and a very nice nose, there was nothing. "Where's my goddam nose?"
"I'm sure that's what everyone in Nap Valley wants to know, Eelaub. Should we try and find it?"
"Well, this accounts for Everything," cried Eelaub, "it explains it all. I've lost my nose. Somebody must have taken it. Isn't that just like them? The whole Valley's full of assholes."
Spew didn't know what to do. He wanted to be helpful, but, really Eelaub was a smelly ass. So Spew decided instead to be helpful, and off he went to look for Eelaub's nose.
Through tasting rooms and walking wine train tracks, Spew searched and searched for Eelaub's nose. Then he came to the CIA, a Stone Grey building where his friend Owl in Meadows lived. Spew knew Owl was home but he banged and banged with the door knocker and nobody answered. The door knocker was kind of wet and mushy, not like most door knockers Spew had seen. Though he'd seen very few knockers of any sort save for Christoper Robbin's mother's set.
"Owl, come to the door. It's me, Bear."
"What is it? I'm rating coats right now. Coats of Bone and Coats of Nuts."
"Something terrible and wonderful has happened. Eelaub has lost his nose. What shall we do?"
"Reward! We'll offer a reward to anyone who has seen Eelaub's nose, though I don't know why anyone would want his terrible nose. But you'd have to believe they'd give it back."
"That's a great idea, Owl in Meadows. We'll offer a reward. And we'll get Christopher Robbin to write out the reward, if his arms aren't still broken."
Then Spew took a closer look at the door knocker. It was a very suspicious looking door knocker, not at all hard and not at all attractive. "Just where did you get this door knocker, Owl?"
"Why I found it in the vineyard. Why do you ask?"
"Because I know someone who wants it. This is no door knocker, Owl, it's Eelaub's nose! We've found it! Hooray!" And Spew grabbed the door knocker, which was really Eelaub's lost nose, and left Owl standing there in amazement.
"Where's my fucking reward, you silly ol' sack of bear shit?" But he never got a reward. And there's a lesson in that for everyone. There are no rewards in life.

This story reminds me of the time that Jory Vineyards had a label with comment about the Emperor having no nose.
Different emperor in that case, however.

Does Jory winery still exist? I hadn't thought of those oddball and funny labels of theirs in a long time. They were certainly iconoclasts.
Imaginarycircus and Marcia,
So it's OK for Disney to ruin it, but not me?
When I was a kid, Winnie-the-Pooh was the very first book I remember owning and cherishing. That and "Charlotte's Web," which no doubt I'll also ruin one day. So I see this as a tribute, an homage, a tip of my HoseMaster chapeau to A.A. (appropriate initials for us) Milne.
I may even have more chapters of Winnie-the-Spew in me.
El Jefe,
Nice line.
My Gorgeous Samantha,
Well, yes, I've been known to lick a few honey pots, especially after a few Stingers.
I adore you!

Amy and Thomas,
I actually thought about Charlotte's Web, and have a very vague outline in my head, but I'm going to let it simmer and see what emerges. And then there's always The Velveteen Rabbit...

Velveteen Rabbit? Isn't that a Kraft cheese-like product?
By the way, my copy of the Oxford Book of Parodies came all water stained. Anon: can I get another one?
- July 22, 2010 at 2:32 PM
Thomas, how do I know? Just found it and thought it had a place here. Don't know about water stain as it is a very dry summer in England. Did it fall off the boat?
And sorry, I was in a hurry,and didn't identify myself.
PS Ron, just don't get too involved with Little Women. But I would love to see another chapter dedicated to winnie Napkins. (And why is it that Napkins make a story and Sonoma doesn't?)
- July 22, 2010 at 4:26 PM

Kathy, don't you know that you can sign onto a blogspot forever and not have to keep identifying yourself?
Charlie has all those names on purpose--I think it has to do with the IRS and sundry agencies being on his trail, or maybe La Cosa Nostra.

I'm not making any promises about what I will or won't satirize. Secret Garden sounds way too sexual in a Charles Dodgson sort of way. Hey, little girl, how about I photograph your secret garden? Kind of Freudian and creepy. So, perfect. But I've never read it.
Kathy, I've no doubts Pooh has been parodied to death, but I've never read one. I try not to read other parodies, really. Hell, I try not to read my own. I like my mind to be just the way I found it, a blank slate. And I think I may just have to do more Pooh. Even Tom Wark was talking about Pooh on his blog today, though only in regards to making it disappear.

The Filipino is basically of Malay stock with a sprinkling of Chinese, American, Spanish and Arab blood. The Philippines has a population of 70 million, and it is hard to distinguish accurately the lines between stocks. From a long history of Western colonial rule, interspersed with the visits of merchants and traders evolved a people of a unique blend of east and west, both in appearance and culture.
The Filipino character is actually a little bit of all the cultures put together. The bayanihan or spirit of kinship and camaraderie that Filipinos are famous for is said to be taken from Malay forefathers. The close family relations are said to have been inherited from the Chinese. The piousness comes from the Spaniards who introduced Christianity in the 16th century. Hospitality is a common denominator in the Filipino character and this is what distinguishes the Filipino. Filipinos are probably one of the few, if not the only, English-proficient Oriental people today. Pilipino is the official national language, with English considered as the country's unofficial one.
The Filipinos are divided geographically and culturally into regions, and each regional group is recognizable by distinct traits and dialects – the sturdy and frugal llocanos of the north, the industrious Tagalogs of the central plains, the carefree Visayans from the central islands and the colorful tribesmen and religious Moslems of Mindanao. Tribal communities can be found scattered across the archipelago. The Philippines has more than 111 dialects spoken, owing to the subdivisions of these basic regional and cultural groups.
Some 80 percent of the population is Catholic, Spain's lasting legacy. About 15 percent is Moslem and these people can be found basically in Mindanao. The rest of the population is made up mostly of smaller Christian denominations and Buddhist.
The country is marked by a true blend of cultures; truly in the Philippines, East meets West. The background of the people is Indonesian and Malay. There are Chinese and Spanish elements as well. The history of American rule and contact with merchants and traders culminated in a unique blend of East and West, both in the appearance and culture of the people of the Filipinos, or people of the Philippines.

Alfresco Brings Lotus Users Scalable Open Source Content Management Platform
Alfresco to unveil Lotus software integration at Lotusphere 2010
LONDON, UK – January 13, 2010 – Alfresco Software, Inc. today announced the availability of Alfresco Content Services for Lotus social collaboration products, an integration between the Alfresco open source enterprise content management (ECM) system and IBM Lotus Quickr, Lotus Notes, Lotus Connections and WebSphere Portal. This integration brings together an industry leading combination of the Lotus social collaboration capabilities and Alfresco's lightweight, scalable, full-featured ECM, which is simple and low cost to use, deploy, maintain and support. Alfresco Content Services for Lotus will be unveiled at Lotusphere, held January 17-21, 2010, in Orlando, Florida.
Tweet This: #Alfresco and #Lotus integration to be unveiled at #Lotusphere http://bit.ly/alfibm
Alfresco and IBM worked together to develop a seamless, fully featured integration between Alfresco ECM and IBM Lotus social software in record time due to the modern, open, REST-based architecture of Alfresco's ECM software and the forthcoming Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) standard.
Unlike Microsoft SharePoint, Alfresco Content Services for Lotus delivers an economical, scalable and open platform while allowing flexible access for programmers to extend the integration from Lotus Notes, Domino, XPage and Portal applications using a wide choice of languages, APIs, protocols and services, including Java, JavaScript, JSP, PHP, CMIS, JSR 168k CIFS, IMAP, JCR, WebDAV, FTP, NFS, SMTP, XForms, SOAP, and .net. In addition, this integration brings features to Lotus software not available through Microsoft SharePoint, including 5015.2 certified records management capabilities, and content services for Lotus collaboration in the cloud.
"As an organization using Lotus technologies and Alfresco, we see real business value in this integration. Users can be assured that they are working with the latest version of a document regardless of the tool they are using – Alfresco Content Services for Lotus will give us the power and flexibility to do this with the ease of drag and drop," said Dr Michael Wagner, Director of BPM, Paul Hartmann AG, one of Europe's major international manufacturers of medical and hygiene products. "Integrated collaborative content management functionality is a cornerstone of our 'desktop of the future project'."
For organizations who want to provide a more functional and flexible content management alternative to Microsoft SharePoint without disrupting users, Alfresco Content Services for Lotus includes an implementation of the SharePoint protocol. This provides users with seamless access from Microsoft Office, while giving companies the freedom of choice in their IT architecture. Organizations will experience the best of both worlds -- providing workers with easy-to-use content management and collaboration tools that integrate with Microsoft Office while lowering overall IT costs and increasing return on ex-isting investments.
"We have delivered on a critical customer need by integrating an open, easily deployable back end ECM platform into the Lotus social collaboration suite," said Jeff Schick, VP of IBM Social Computing Software. "A match seemingly made in CMIS heaven, this inte-gration not only provides Lotus users with a strong content management foundation, but also makes Lotus' innovative social collaboration tools available to the Alfresco community."
Alfresco Content Services for Lotus will be available in Spring 2010 and a preview will be demonstrated at Lotusphere, January 17-21, 2010, in Orlando, Florida.

Fall pictures
I pulled off "The Boulevard" (Ft. Campbell Blvd. in Hopkinsville) to take this picture of the spectacular colors in the sky. Just a few moments later, the sun went behind a cloud, and the brilliance was gone.
I'm not sure whose horses these are, but I don't think a Mennonite owns them. They're too flashy in color, and besides, I don't think a Mennonite would turn his horses loose in the woods. They'd be too hard to catch if he needed to go somewhere.
I took this photo early in October. Since then, autumn colors have deepened, and many of the leaves have fallen. The maples in our yard have lost nearly all their leaves. The oaks tend to hold their leaves longer.
These fall wildflowers are growing along the "Town Fork" of Little River (as it was called in earlier times) in Hopkinsville. The lavender flowers are little wild asters. I saw the red berries along the banks of Little River, too. If you know what sort of berries they are, please tell me in the comments. I think there's honeysuckle in that tangled mass of vegetation -- it is so terribly invasive, once it gets started.
Keely has been sewing Halloween costumes. I went with her to WalMart one afternoon to help pick out fabric. We didn't see anything there that suited her. A few days later, she came out here, and we looked through my stash and found some pieces she thought would work. I am pretty sure I'll never get all the fabric in my stash sewed, so I like to share it with Keely every now and then.
On the Sundays that I work, I often see buggies going through Hopkinsville at about the same time that I'm heading home myself. Darkness arrives earlier now, so I wish the families in the buggies would head home a little earlier. I am careful when I see their four flashing taillights, but I fear that other drivers are not.
I think this is a Mennonite buggy, as it has a triangular slow-moving-vehicle sign. The Amish don't like the triangular orange sign -- they recently agreed with the State of Kentucky that they will outline their buggies in silver reflective tape instead. I am not sure if the local Amish use battery-powered headlights or not.
And finally, just a reminder that the holiday season has already begun. I don't remember ever seeing a blue Christmas tree before, but I'm surprised I haven't. The citizens of Kentucky really support the UK teams.

En:HOWTO: Burn Sabayon from Windows
Burning the .iso image
One of the most common problems with burning a Linux install CD/DVD is that people sometimes don't understand that an iso image file is not a normal file. You cannot just burn the iso to disc to and expect it to work. I repeat: you cannot simply put the iso file on a blank disk and expect it to work. In order to properly make a CD or DVD out of an iso image, you need special software. Instructions for Nero and Isorecorder are included; for other programs, see the manual for the software, or just give one of these a shot.
With Nero you just select file and burn image, then select the .iso file you want to burn. The software handles the rest.
If you're cheap, like me you can download a free image burner.
isorecorder [1] is a good one that I have had luck with. Simply download and install the correct version for your version of windows, then right click on the .iso and tell it to burn. Simple as that.
Good Luck and welcome to Linux.
