kempton, lilacs & kew gardens
oh gnome. yes. i did. heres the garden like i promised!
i have been watering the moss as much as the flowers.
these tapestries are 100 years old... i found them at kempton last week and stuffed them up into pillows. cause thats what girls do, they make pillows.
dusty old fairy tales from kempton again... the man who sold them to me looked like he didnt really want or believe in tales like this... so he sold them to me for a pound each. ka KA bitch!
sometimes i put creepy little doll heads inside glass. i really like it when everyone gets creeped out... i dont know why. i like it when their faces get scrunched up. its BAD they say.... noooo....i think its gooood.
i am starting to seem like i am living on a farm. it sort of catches... once you find a little cow you like.. (even when you didnt know that you liked cows) ... suddenly...
this is happening. and you have a little pig with pink hooves on the floor. but honestly. how could you not have this little pig on your floor? he is hilarious and tells the best knock knock jokes.
cause i need a place for all my sand.
little white violets that i planted last week... looking good little violas. KISS.
oh this little girl was so cute.. she was running around kew gardens and her cheeks were so puffy i wanted to bite them. i think her mom got upset because i was taking so many pictures of her. hehehehe im not a baby eater. not really.
these swans just had 2 little fuzzy babies and they were making a nest for them. AW. see them? they are sort of sticking out from under the mom swans featherbutt.
so we went to kew gardens so i could steal lilacs on my birthday. its my holy tradition. we got gobs.

lovely pictures :) and i don't think the doll head is creapy, it might be odd to some people, but for me it is creative.

I love Kew gardens and so enjoyed your pictures. On a personal note, I think your hair is so stylish the colour it is and those are such pretty pictures of you. Although, saying that, I hate my hair darker, so know how you feel. :)

My husband is creeped out by my childhood dolls on the guest bed at my mom's house - you would be *very* satisfied with his reaction to your creepy creation.
I'm glad you had a wonderful birthday - I didn't realize that our birthdays were only 7 days apart! (Mine's the 5th).✩
- 15 May 2010 at 20:53
Haaaapppyyy Biirrthdaay! Looks like it was a great one. You should see some of my sister's dolls. Especially at night when they make shadows in the dark. I think I might meet my untimely end at their hands one day :(.

Happy Birthday darling :)
Looking at these sweet photos I'm trying so hard to remember how lovely lilacs smell and yet after so long I'm struggling!
Btw, that is a very handsome gnome you have there to look after your garden :)
- 15 May 2010 at 23:19
this post made me a little happier today, thank you thank you.
p.s.: do you have soap for the other bucket too? xxx
p.s.: in case you didn't know, "seife" means soap. i'm sure you did though, now i feel silly.

What darling lilacs! I think they are the sweetest flower. When I moved to the south and discovered that they cannot grow here I was devastated. Now I fill my rooms with lilac scented candles in the spring to feel at home. Here is a lovely-lilac-y quotation from one of my favouite books.
"How those lilacs smell! Has it ever occured to you, Diana, that there is something not quite... chaste..in the scent of lilac blossoms? Gilbert laughs at such a notion...he loves them... but to me they always seem to be remembering some secret, too-sweet thing."

Oh Happy Birthday Stephanie, you sound like you had a simply lovely day, as should be on your birthday. Blonde is the only colour I haven't been! I'm to wimpy. Black was my fav!!! Here's to experimenting with hair colour and birthdays!!!

I like the doll head, i am gradually accumulating many bits and bobs of the 'creepy' variety but think i am mostly unaware of the creep factor until others point it out.

My daughter saw the photo of you and said you were lovely. Blonde and brunette both suit you. I do love the dark, however. I also want to bite the cheeks of children. Sometimes I feel I want to eat my daughter. I think this is some primal urge. Cute, round children make my mouth water. The books look lovely and the old tapestries. I like the cheerful fellow on the floor. Happy Birthday. May is such a hopeful, shiny Month. xx

The World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) is pleased to announce the World Breastfeeding Week theme for 2011 focusing on engaging and mobilizing youth intergenerational work with the catchy slogan of: "Talk to me! Breastfeeding - a 3D Experience".
I am so tickled about this focus because it encourages us all, breastfeeding mamas, lactivists, health educators, health care professionals and IBCLCs to think outside of the traditional box of breastfeeding support, and focus on communication as a key to breastfeeding success! Without a doubt, communication mediums are changing constantly, therefore our way of reaching others must also evolve over time if we hope to be effective in our reach to the people we wish to serve/impact and effective in the outcomes of our work.
Breastfeeding has been happening since the beginning of time- well since Adam and Eve became the parents of Cain and Abel, but that doesn't mean our support and education methods should mimic such archaic methods. Don't get me wrong, I do not think that we need to muddy the waters with an overcomplicated message. Just the opposite! The beauty of today's technology, especially with social media at the forefront of daily communication, allows simple, effective and powerful messages to be disseminated with amazing impact! These efforts can create outcomes (my wish list), such as:
- increase awareness of the importance of breastfeeding
- dispel myths of breastfeeding (pain, time commitment
- reduce embarrassment of exposure
- inform mothers of their options when it comes to a "low" milk supply
- alter the "norm" of infant feeding to mother's milk
- increase accessibility of pumping at work sites and not just acceptance, but ENCOURAGEMENT to breastfeed!
- and much more!
Happy Milking Mamas!

It looks like Moto Morini gave up on its month-long teasing of the new Moto Morini Rebello 1200 Giubileo, with the company's latest bike breaking cover today — two weeks ahead of schedule. That is just fine by us, since we had already forgotten about the Rebello 1200 Giubileo and its painful jigsaw puzzle reveal strategy, and the move is even better for the motorcycle public because Moto Morini has quite an interesting bike to show here.
A street-standard with some café racer touches, the Moto Morini Rebello 1200 Giubileo looks like quite an elegant bike with some very nice finishing touches being shown in the company's limited photo set.
Easily our favorite detail is the unique "electric moveable saddle" that takes the Rebello 1200 Giubileo from monoposto to biposto with a simple flick of switch, while maintaing the bike's rear-cowling look. It would seem gone are the days of having to remove a rear seat cover, or swapping out a rear cowl for a padded seat. Molto bene.

The Ferrari F12 Berlinetta versus... a train
A few thousand horsepower of stout locomotive versus 731bhp of bright red supercar. An overnight blast from one end of the country to the other: one on rails, one on roads, and a writer in each. Inverness to Euston, one shot, no unnecessary stopping.
This is how we'll spend our time with one of the first Ferrari F12s to reach Britain since we first drove it a few months back, answering some important questions: can Ferrari's fastest-ever road car do a decent impression of a GT and outrun a relentless train? What's it like on the finest driving roads in the country? Will the bloke in the Ferrari get carried away and be placed in a small prison cell for the remainder of time by incensed Scottish traffic police? Despite the potential for this little trip to go very badly indeed, hands were hoisted high in the office as soon as a plan was hatched…
DR: A new Ferrari, in the correct colour with the correct number of cylinders, through the night, on empty roads? How could I say no? I consider all this from my seat on the 20:26 from Inverness to London. Through the steamy window, I stare at the F12 parked beside the platform, full of fuel and unfortunately also full of Piers Ward. He and photographer Lee will handle the car. I'll be your willing correspondent on the train. Dammit.
PW: This will not end well for you. I have seen the future, and in it, you will be a loser. A well-rested loser. But a loser nonetheless.
DR: Ah, but this isn't just any old train. This is the Caledonian Sleeper, a quarter of a mile of rolling stock plus a diesel-electric motor up front. One of two remaining sleeper services in Britain, it usually dispatches the 569-mile journey in under 12 hours through sheer, grinding monotony. We have toilets on board and a dining car. No traffic to concern myself with. Which should give the car something to worry about if it has to wiggle its way down the country through speed camera and traffic-infested A-roads and motorways. Unless Piers does something risky.
PW: A ridiculous thought. This is going to be like relieving a toddler of his favourite brand of biscuits. Quick jaunt down the motorway, job done. The seats are comfy, we're well stocked with food and water, and the aircon is set to an unsteamy 20°C. I'm already enjoying this. As Dan and the Caledonian ease out of the station with a gentle burr of diesel power, I fire up the satnav and find a route that promises 652 miles of motorway. Ouch. Immediately, I see a shortcut across country. At least, it looks like a shortcut. Still, that train is already nearly entirely gone, so I need to get a shift on. A quick twist of the key and a prod of the wheel-mounted engine-start button and, wham, the F12 fires up with the ambiguity of a modest nuclear warhead. Dan - your train is boring me already. It's 20.27, and we're off….
DR: Evidently Piers is enjoying the F12, which is currently leaving streaky black lines down the station exit road. Ruffian. If he keeps on like that, the Ferrari will be in a ditch by dawn, and I'll win. There'll be none of that behaviour on the sleeper. I'll be dining in the lounge car this evening and - as it turns out - sharing a table with an actual Knight of the Realm, complete with tweed jacket and yellow cravat. Genteel travel personified. Gin is poured, and we settle into the long ride. He's made this journey for years, since "nice chaps in waistcoats served with serviettes over their arms", and as we slip gently out of Inverness and into the embrace of rural Scotland, he lists the roster of beasts - wildcats, otters, stags and the like - lurking in the surrounding Cairngorms, a slightly dumpy collection of mountains that streak by like iced Christmas puds.
PW: Wildlife, you say? Well, yes, seen some of it, and the Ferrari is dodging most of them right now. It's only 21:02, and I'm already feeling more than a little stressed, as Scotland's fauna hurls itself before the F12, on twisty roads that could probably do without the wildlife chicanes. It's getting dark. I'm dodging frogs and other, less identifiable stuff and have immediately discovered two things: one, the F12 is awesome and sounds like an F1 car on steroids. Two, this is not a bloody shortcut.
DR: It's 21:10 and I'm in Aviemore. The gin tastes good in Aviemore. I can feel the tension being leached from me as the train's rhythm mutters away underneath. I have no idea where the Ferrari is. I'm not actually sure that I care…
PW: Dammit. Dan's just texted to say he's already in Aviemore. We're miles behind, somewhere in the Highlands or, possibly, Cornwall. I'm not exactly sure, and currently very unhappy with map-reader Lee. On the plus side, though, he's worked out our porn-star names. This, as you may know, is a popular game. Name of first pet plus mother's maiden name equals comedy alias. I'm prevaricating. We've got lost in the first 50 miles, on a straight piece of road.
DR: Piers, it would appear, is actually Whopper White. I share this with my dining companion, who politely excuses himself and retires for the night. The train ploughs southwards, pounding the wooden sleepers in a quick waltz. Producing around 3,500bhp, the Class 67 locomotive would ordinarily dwarf any car engine. But the Ferrari's 6.2-litre V12 isn't just any car engine, so the train is actually just four-and-a-half times more powerful. Considering the Ferrari weighs roughly 56 times less than the engine unit alone, and isn't pulling 16 massive trailers, it should be cresting the hilltops like a freshly dispatched fighter jet right now. We, meanwhile, make brief stops at Dalwhinnie and Pitlochry to collect more nocturnal travellers.
PW: For the record, Dan's dirty pseudonym is Lady Night. And I think I know where we are. Scotland. As you were.
DR: Despite the wining and dining, this isn't quite the Orient Express. On the outside, it's a streak of purple to match the freshest Highland heather. Inside, it's a bit… drab. The lights are dim, and the curtains are grey. Once upon a time, this would've been a very romantic journey, full of polished wood, moody candlelight and ladies in nice hats. Today, it's a touch more utilitarian, but there's still something charming - romantic even - about it. People talk to one another, not to their phones. And there are no TVs - just many windows through which to view nature's own film set. Whopper calls. The time is 23:15.
PW: I can feel your presence, bearing down on me. I don't like it.
DR: That's because the road runs roughly parallel to the track for the first 100 miles or so.
PW: I can't see you. We're 10 miles from Perth. I think.
DR: I'm in Perth. The gin also tastes good in Perth. But we'll have to stop here for a bit to restock the foie gras tray or something, so you should leapfrog me soon.
PW: Good. I need that - we're still staring down the barrel of another 460-odd miles and over seven hours' driving. Annoying, because I could have already pulled out a lead if I hadn't ignored the satnav and headed off on my intensely enjoyable but time-wasting pseudo-shortcut. Basically, I ignored the A9 and have been exercising my glands along the back roads, via Tomintoul, Braemar and Blairgowrie. Actually, I won't apologise. Not until we actually lose, at least, because this is what the F12 was made for; roads with plenty of vision - twisty enough to be interesting, fast and open enough to be exciting. But less than fantastic right now. It's raining, foggy, and more importantly, dark.
Our little diversion is ruining our average speed, and, just as importantly, it's making me seriously tired. Dodging a combination of hares, deer and various other wildlife means I can't relax for even a split second. There are no street lights, no catseyes to guide our way. It's rare to find a stretch where there are even painted lines down the edges - grey road blends into dark grass, with no indication where one ends and the other begins. And because the Ferrari arrived from Italy just yesterday, the headlights aren't set up correctly. Which would have been great news if we'd been looking for roosting woodpeckers, but is less handy for working out where the road goes.
DR: My train has excellent headlights. Apparently. Tell me more about your car.
PW: It's properly fantastic. Best car I've ever driven? It's in the top five, certainly. The way it takes every single good point from the Ferrari 599 - the engine, the accessibility of the speed, the way it flatters mortal drivers - and adds in yet more goodness is impressive. There's a balance to the chassis, power and steering that belies the front-engined layout - the F12 might have a great big lump of V12 out in front, but it's set so far back in the chassis that it feels like you're sat in the middle of the action. It's the most mid-engined-feeling front-engined car I've ever driven.
DR: Very good. How was your dinner?
PW: Houmous. Two types, fed to me by a man called Lee, which is less than ideal. Don't interrupt. The dual-clutch gearbox is slick and rapid, but don't expect any rifle-bolt changes like in the 458. The F12 is smoother, more mature. The gearbox is superb on this car, but it isn't as integral to the character as it is on the 458. The V12 engine, on the other hand… now that's important: 6.2 litres, 731bhp, 509lb ft, in a car that weighs 1,630kg. Fast? Just a tad. Accelerate hard, and it feels like the F12 could give a neat non-surgical facelift - the 3.1-second 0-62mph time is oh-so doable, time and time again. I've tried it a lot. I have to keep stopping to read the map, or Lee gets houmous-loaded fingerprints over all the important junctions.
DR: That's nice. Anyway, it's midnight, the Caledonian and I are somewhere around Edinburgh, and I'm calling it a night. A sailor's-stagger down the shoulder-width corridor leads me to my sleeper cabin. It might be smaller than an average prison cell, but the bed's comfy and the door locks. Have you even caught up with me yet? Do you even know where you are?
PW: Sort of. I've also discovered a new secret weapon, because I've just explored the last inch of throttle travel. Before now, I simply hadn't needed all the pace, and three-quarter throttle felt like more than enough. But in the interests of science… well, suffice it to say, all sorts of chaos lurks in an F12's full-bore acceleration. It's even enough to make you (briefly) question the logic of buying one. Superlative engineering achievement it might be, but it does make you wonder what all the point of this is. It's utterly brilliant, but both my talent and the world will run out a long time before the Ferrari gets to the edge of its envelope.
DR: Try harder.
PW: Aren't you asleep? This twisty road is coming to an end. The sky's glowing orange in the distance. Sunrise!
DR: Or the lights of a town?
PW: Oh, good point. But we're reeling you in somewhere near Glasgow. Overtaking is definitely imminent this time. In fact, I think we just swapped places.
DR: Click. Brrr… Zzzz…
PW: Dan's gone quiet, and I assume he's gone to bed. The swine. Which is where the grind really starts in the F12. Edinburgh at midnight. Glasgow at 1am. Cities disappear into the background, but we're making up time and pulling out a lead: 150 miles in the first three hours turns into 150 miles in the next two-and-a-half and that includes a fuel stop. He might not know it, but Dan's stopped in Edinburgh while another train couples onto his, for the haul to London. So we reach the M6 while he's somewhere north of Berwick. Things are looking up for the Scuderia.
It's a happier F12 cabin that greets 2am. Lee settles into the passenger seat, we've got a full tank, Fleetwood Mac's Greatest Hits is on the iPod and the F12 reveals its GT side. Suspension set to Bumpy Road to soften the dampers, V12 engine note nicely subdued in the background, the F12 devours motorways as easily as the best German saloons. Somewhere around Penrith, the eyelids start to droop, so Lee takes over. Good news, because there's been a large black crow flying in front of the car for the past few minutes, and I don't remember the M6 being this bendy. I think I might be overtired. I wake up around Preston. Fortunately, the crows have disappeared. It's 3am, and it feels like we've broken the back of the journey. Technically, that's true, but the nav reads 228 miles to go, and we're still above Liverpool. Liverpool is in the North, and we need to be in the South. There's been no word from Dan, though according to our calculations, he should be somewhere around Newcastle.
DR: At this point, I believe I was into my third dream. Something about two men feeding each other houmous off their fingers…
PW: Trains have big advantages; there are lot of passengers, and they only need one driver. So does the F12, but that person is me. And I'm starting to lose the will. We carry on, mile after mile, unlit stretch of motorway blending into unlit stretch of motorway. There is other traffic out here, but it's mainly lorries - few cars are venturing out during the witching hour. Fuel stations come and go, the only time we're static. It's an odd feeling, standing still in the eerie quiet, after doing motorway speeds for hours on end. But eventually things start looking up. As we hit the M6 toll, the sun is starting to make an appearance. Still no word from Dan, though. Time for his 5am alarm call…
DR: Hello. Just enjoying some juice and tea after a successfully unmolested sleep. Managed about five hours. But lying at 90 degrees to the direction of travel - like a damsel tied across the tracks - meant I was almost tipped off the bed a few times when the brakes came on. Lovely sunrise, though. Where are you?
PW: Somewhere just south of Birmingham. My eyes are full of grit. Also my brain.
DR: Ah. That's a shame. Things are a little more civilised on the train, and definitely smell less of unwashed man. Britain continues to slide by the window, a constant film reel of sunrise landscape. Cows. Mist. Fields. Cows. The loco steams on, topping 90mph, although it's taken the slower east coast mainline today instead of the usual west coast route, due to planned engineering works. A couple of hours later, the golden countryside turns grey and brown as we reach the southern commutervilles. Into London we go, looping through the north of town and into some lengthy sidings near Wembley stadium. The engine detaches from the front while another joins the rear, pulling all 16 carriages the last few miles down the tracks. This may ruin my chance of victory.
PW: We're in London. It's 6:45am. And I appear, despite having lived in London for years, unable to find Euston railway station. Or indeed my arse with both hands.
DR: Moving out of Wembley now. I could call Piers. I don't.
PW: Aaaagh. Where's the entrance to Euston? Quick left down Melton Street, look for the right turn into the station. Sail gaily past it. Reverse. Turn right. A barrier? Get it sorted, Lee. Oh for goodness' sake… I'm not losing now…
DR: We hit the stoppers in Euston, and a little tea spills over my cup. So I gather my bags, reach through the window to undo the door handle and step off… to be greeted by a shiny F12 and a ruined Piers, already on the platform, grinning like a tired loon.
PW: Still keen on your train, Read? I want to do a victory dance, but my feet are apparently made of concrete. The same stuff as my eyelids. We got here at 7:20, a good hour before the train. The car won. And in style.
DR: Ah. I appear to have been vanquished. But, yes, the trainis still the thing to have. It might have lost some of its old glory, but this Sleeper still does a proper job. If nothing else, it's a very productive way of going to bed. Nod off here, wake up there. All for about 150 quid for a first-class ticket. In a world of driverless pods and charmless airports, it's a uniquely old-fashioned way to travel. Mind you, you could say the same thing about the F12. Point your long, V12 bonnet down an empty road and off you go. Just glorious noise and energy and good looks. Would you choose it over a train? If you read TopGear, of course. But like an old record player, the sleeper service is still a decent thing to have around. On the right night, in the right mood, you wouldn't have it any other way. Now, where are those Ferrari keys?

Today I wanted to tell you about using audio and video in Sametime meetings that open in a web browser.
With Sametime 8.5.2, meeting rooms that open in a web browser now have many of the same audio and video features as do meeting rooms that open in a Sametime window. This means that people who join meetings from outside your company, or people who don't have the Sametime client, can participate in audio/video calls.
If your company has these capabilities, when you are in a meeting room that opens in a web browser, you can use the call icons under the Voice and Video area of the meeting room to call in to your meeting and then perform call-related actions.
For example, here's what you might see under Voice and Video if you are the room owner or a room manager; click the Green phone icon to start the call.
And, here's what you might see after the call has
started - icons to hang up the call, put the the call on mute and so much more:
Note: The specific call icons that the meeting room owner sees depends on the call capabilities you have and whether or not you are the meeting room owner.

Talk:Essay:Greatest Conservative Sports Stars
Mr Schlafly: this is such a great insight. I'm really impressed by some of the powerful conservative thinking on CP. Do you think most sports players are conservative because being successful at sport means being competitive? i.e trying to do your best instead of being a liberal wuss and complaining about other people doing well. Is it OK to add conservatives in UK sports like rugby, cricket and football? HollyS 17:26, 26 November 2011 (EST)
- Competitive sports is a meritocracy, which is a conservative value. Liberals prefer to "spread the wealth," which in sports would mean leveling the wins and losses.
- Please do add legitimate examples from around the world.--Andy Schlafly 17:29, 26 November 2011 (EST)
- I agree this is a fascinating page; enough so that I joined to help edit! Many athletes praise God in postgame interviews, etc., across all sports. I wonder if there's a way to work that into this page? LeRoyB 17:18, 28 November 2011 (EST)
Hi Andy, For Gavin Peacock, you changed "football" to "soccer" but you've left the sport beside some other people's names (Tim Tebow and Kurt Warner - sorry, I've never heard of them) as plain "football". Does that mean American football? (like rugby league with padding). Shouldn't we change "football" for those guys to "American football" so as not to confuse people outside the USA? Otherwise, this is a great page - and I don't see any nit-picky socialists whining about any of their guys being top sports(wo)men! HollyS 18:07, 28 November 2011 (EST)
- I disagree. It is pretty obvious that football is American football. What the Europeans call football is really called "Association football" or "soccer" for short. JamieM 20:36, 28 November 2011 (EST)
- It's not obvious to people outside the USA. And I think you'll find that football was invented in England. (Except I expect archaeologists will find it came from France, like cricket...)HollyS 16:36, 29 November 2011 (EST)
- I am for getting rid of the non-American stars. At a minimum, a separate section. Plus, we do need to some conservative women on this page. Who follows women's sports in the Olympics, WNBA, NCAA Basketball, Fast Pitch Softball?--Jpatt 23:25, 29 November 2011 (EST)
- I would expect that the American flag on the Conservapedia logo should give plenty of evidence that this is an American site. Anyone used to visiting sites outside their home country should be aware that "football" means different things in different countries (there's Australian, Canadian, and Gaelic - association football is by no means the only "football" outside the U.S.) and that in the USA it means American football. KingHanksley 16:50, 11 March 2012 (EDT)
- I am for getting rid of the non-American stars. At a minimum, a separate section. Plus, we do need to some conservative women on this page. Who follows women's sports in the Olympics, WNBA, NCAA Basketball, Fast Pitch Softball?--Jpatt 23:25, 29 November 2011 (EST)
Track and Field
Would Al Oerter qualify? He was the greatest discus thrower ever, one of only two athletes to win their event at four conservative Olympics. He was critical of the "drug culture" that had overtaken sports when he finally retired (at an age much older than when most athletes retire). He criticized steroid use.--Andy Schlafly 00:21, 30 November 2011 (EST)
Sunday Sport
Can anyone clarify the actual significance of playing sport on a Sunday? Many people are included here for refusing to play on Sunday, and yet Lewis Hamilton is listed, when his sport take place exclusively on Sundays. --QPR 08:26, 30 November 2011 (EST)
- Perhaps God has guided Ewen Murray to honour Him by observing the Sabbath, but Lewis Hamilton to glorify Him with outstanding achievements on the Sabbath. Questioning how the Lord has revealed himself to different people is awfully dangerous territory. Be humble enough to understand that He is working in different ways in different people with perfect wisdom. HollyS 19:30, 30 November 2011 (EST)
- You may well be right HollyS, but the problem is this page is not about sports stars who have been moved to act in particular ways by God; it's about conservative sports stars. It's hardly conservative to say that any behaviour is laudable as long as it's guided by God. Conservationism (thought I hate to oversimplify) is about sticking to some very strict ideas of what is right and what is wrong.--QPR 08:38, 2 December 2011 (EST)
I don't think Maradona should be on this list. First of all, the "Hand of God" Goal was actually a cheated goal. Maradona touched the ball with his hand and later called it the Hand of God...
His personal life, according to the other Wiki, seems not so conservative as well. Maradona is divorced, cheated on his ex-wife, was addicted to cocaine and is nowadays very much befriended with Fidel Castro (according to TOW, he has a tattoo of Castro and Che Guevara) and highly critical of George W. Bush and the United States in general.--VPropp 08:20, 12 December 2011 (EST)
- We don't use the other wiki as a source of information, but I agree that Maradona is not conservative at all. Here is a video of Maradona talking at a Hugo Chavez speech. It is in Spanish, what Maradona says is: "Argentina is a worthy country. Lets throw Bush out!" [1] --AlejandroH 12:33, 12 December 2011 (EST)
- Thanks for the info cooncerning the use of TOW. I crosschecked it with the German version, but was otherwise just too busy to find reliable data. I knew though beforehand, from reliable sources, that the "Hand of God" Goal had nothing to do with God, but was at best Maradona joking or at worst being blasphemous. À Dieu--VPropp 13:05, 12 December 2011 (EST)
Moe Berg
Was Moe Berg really a conservative? I could not find any information on his political views. Being a spy during, not before WWII, seems insufficient to make him a conservative. I thought he might have been conservative because he turned down the Medal of Freedom which would have been awarded by Harry Truman ( a Democrat), but I couldn't find anything on his reasons to do that either. Additionaly, from what I've read he was not really a great, but rather mediocre sports star, although an extremely interesting one.
In conclusion: I don't think he belongs on this list. Any differing opinions?--VPropp 12:28, 22 December 2011 (EST)
- Interesting comments. Does anyone else have information about this?--Andy Schlafly 12:38, 22 December 2011 (EST)
- I added him initially. One of our characteristics of a Conservative is the belief "A strong national defense." Keep in mind he was spying on Japan because there was a strong feeling that we might go to war with them; there were certainly tensions already, and being caught spying in such a context would have had serious consequences for Mr. Berg. Needless to say, no liberal would put his neck on the line like that! I'll go ahead and add him in a few days unless there are objections.LeRoyB 14:58, 4 January 2012 (EST)
- Well from what I've read, his spying on Japan consisted of him making a few videos from the roof of a hospital. I'm not quite sure if such an action would have lead to serious consequences. Seems more like normal tourist behaviour. I'm also not quite sure if he did the filming with the intention of spying, or if the OSS aproached him later asking for the film.
But be that as it may. Another reason why I'm not too convinced about the national defense angle is that I've read that Mr. Berg mainly wanted to work for the CIA after the War, so he could travel on their expense, which was one of the reasons, why the CIA did not rehire him.
As you can see from my comment above, I could not find any other signs that Mr. Berg was a conservative. He seems to have been rather apolitical.
But if you want to readd him, be my guest. He was certainly a very interesting individual, that deserves to be admired.--VPropp 15:12, 4 January 2012 (EST)

- All good points. In doing more research myself he does seem like more of an oddball than a hero, so I'll look around for some more inspiring entries. Thanks!LeRoyB 13:20, 6 January 2012 (EST)
Possible Addition?
The Conservapedia article on Jeremy Lin talks about his strong Christian faith, and contains a quote of Lin talking about his faith. It looks like it would meet the criteria for "conservative" Sy20 11:55, 24 March 2012 (EDT)
- Jeremy is a great person but I'm not sure he has achieved enough yet to make it on this esteemed list. Can you find quotes about his politics?--Andy Schlafly 13:24, 24 March 2012 (EDT)
Ted Williams
Can we find a better example of media bias against Ted Williams? As I recall, the same year Ted hit .400, Joltin' Joe DiMaggio had a 56-game hit streak, and only one of them could win MVP. (Or they could tie in the voting, I guess, but you can't vote for Co-MVPs). Maybe I'm just biased since I'm a Yankees fan, but I think DiMaggio deserved it more that year. Either way, it's questionable. Can anyone think of anything? Gregkochuconn 23:00, 28 April 2012 (EDT)
- DiMaggio's 56-game hit streak was spectacular, and one of the few baseball records that may never be broken. But a baseball season is 162 games (or 154 games then), and Ted Williams hit .400 over the entire season, not merely part of it.
- An analysis of the media voting shows it was bias that deprived Williams of the MVP that year. I think one sportswriter left Williams off his ballot entirely, for example.--Andy Schlafly 00:19, 29 April 2012 (EDT)
- Fair enough Andy. I will add information on that sportswriter to the article to make it more clear. And like I said, it's questionable whether Williams or Dimmagio was more impressive. Williams could go 0-for-4 one day and get back on track by going 3-for-4 the next day. Jolting Joe didn't have that luxury. But this isn't a baseball debate, so let's end it. That information about Williams being left off the ballot does indeed show bias. Gregkochuconn 16:46, 29 April 2012 (EDT)
- Your point is well-taken. I do think DiMaggio's 56-game hit streak is one of the greatest records in all of sports. After his streak was broken, he then had another hitting game streak after that, in the same season. Your edit to the content page is perfect.--Andy Schlafly 22:44, 29 April 2012 (EDT)
Rick Monday
I can find no proof of him being a conservative, per se, but he did once save an American Flag from a burning in 1976 during a Chicago Cubs - Los Angeles Dodgers game. WesleySHello! 18:25, 10 June 2012 (EDT)
- That rescue of the American flag -- which was widely publicized -- does suggest that Rick Monday is probably conservative.--Andy Schlafly 19:07, 10 June 2012 (EDT)
Sir John Major
I am for deleting this entry. The person in question must be recognized for their sporting achievements. For example, I wanted to add Lou Holtz, but he is known for his coaching and not his days playing for Kent State. --Jpatt 22:54, 10 June 2012 (EDT)
If the speaker is obscure and irrelevent...
Then why include the quote? The quote isn't important unless the speaker is. --SharonW 12:53, 26 June 2012 (EDT)
Moving quote about Tebow
Moving part of the quote about Tebow removes context. The analysist was talking about Tebow not being a team player, and him trying to draw attention to himself rather than the coach and starting quarterback. Without the context, the remaining quote could be interpreted by a reader as to apply to Tebow due to his religious beliefs - which it did not. SharonW 16:24, 2 July 2012 (EDT)
- I clarified Tebow's entry based on my comment above. The way it was before implied the statement from the ESPN reporter referred to Tebow's religion. It wasn't, and without clarification, the quote is cherry-picking. SharonW 16:38, 5 July 2012 (EDT)
New Addition
I'm not that good at wiki-code, so if someone better could put marathoner Ryan Hall up on the list, I believe he'd be a welcome addition. I first read about him here, where when asked to list his coach on a form at a routine drug test, he answered "God" --Guitarsniper 22:54, 16 July 2012 (EDT)
- I added him. AndrewTompkins 22:58, 16 July 2012 (EDT)
David Icke is a madman who thinks lizard men run the world. Eric liddle was a deeply christian man, but he was a socialist who would turn in his grave to be called conservative.
Charles Barkley
I'm removing Charles Barkley's entry. Yes, he has supported guns, but he has served time for a DUI and admitted frequenting prostitutes and indulging in oral copulation, has been charged with assault (though acquitted, he still became involved in the fight), and charged with aggravated battery and resisting arrest for hurling an Orlando bar patron through a plate-glass window. Such a man is exactly the type of man who should not be allowed carry a gun - his behaviour is hardly fitting of mention in a list of 'Greatest Conservative Sports Stars', is it? Wonders 16:34, 21 January 2013 (EST)
David Icke
David Icke should have no part in this list either. 1) "Greatest"? Hardly - he retired from professional soccer at the age of 21 from injuries having had a completely unremarkable career in the bottom divisions of UK soccer; 2) "Conservative"? Hardly - he is a believer in Extraterrestrial Lizard Gods, Man's evolution from these extraterrestrial lizards and all forms of strange conspiracy theories in between; 3) "Sports"? See 1); "Stars"? See 1). Wonders 19:40, 21 January 2013 (EST)
Well in most of his works he opposes the idea of big government as well as the Illuminati/New World Order. His work is similar to Alex Jones. So I'd say he is conservative or at least Right-Leaning Libertarian. -Ted D
- I agree. In addition Icke said that Christianity and Judaism "are Illuminati creations designed to divide and conquer the human race through endless conflicts, as are racial, ethnic and sexual divisions".--JoeyJ 08:21, 18 August 2014 (EDT)
Tim Howard
I am fairly surprised to see him missing on this list. Tim Howard is an American soccer goalkeeper who gained a lot of popularity during 2014's world cup. He later said that he attributes his achievements to God, in a very open testimony about his faith. Shall I go ahead and add him to the list? -Mal Peeters (talk) 09:37, 14 January 2015 (EST)

Hampshire Constabulary Customer Story
Alfresco Workdesk delivered seamless information consolidation and service innovation
- Improved management of structured and unstructured data
- Overcome the complexity of application diversity to enable enhanced collaboration within the force and beyond to partner agencies
- Versatility to deliver information resources at the point of need
- Enhanced content management efficiency
- New and powerful digital asset management capabilities
- Greater system and process connectivity
- Effective reuse of data and knowledge
Hampshire Constabulary
Hampshire Constabulary is the second largest non-metropolitan police service in England and Wales, serving a population of 1.8 million across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Based at headquarters in Winchester, the IT and Communications Services (ITCS) department supports the IT infrastructure that underpins all police operations.
Recent public sector budget cuts have resulted in the formation of a Joint Operations Unit with Thames Valley Police, and in 2011 the IT departments of the forces merged. Subsequently, the Roads Policing, Training, Firearms and Dog units of the two forces have also amalgamated.
In 2011, Hampshire Constabulary initiated a Force Change Programme to maximise its ability to deliver effective and efficient frontline services. Following a technology review, the force determined it needed to leverage its existing IT investments and introduce transformational change that would equip it to deliver 21st century policing capabilities now and into the future. To do this would mean unleashing the application and data capabilities of the organisation to foster greater collaboration and rapid service innovation.
Business challenge
For Applications and Data Architect Christina Xavier-Thomas, who led the Hampshire Constabulary technology review, the objectives were clear. Introducing a service-oriented architecture would be the key to seamlessly integrating and consolidating multiple systems and silo applications — including six document management systems — to achieve improved efficiency and more effective teamwork.
Technology enables every aspect of Hampshire's work — from front-line policing to interfaces with the public and criminal justice. The ability to deliver the right information at the right time, to the right people is a critical requirement.
To support a diverse and constantly evolving set of user needs, Hampshire Constabulary needed to rationalise its document and data management to enable flexible new ways of working and increase the flow of its biggest asset: information. High on the wish-list was the ability to transcend departmental systems to enable seamless cross-functional and inter-organisational information sharing and collaboration by:
- joining structured information with digital media to facilitate better crime investigation and digital case files.
- managing and using digital assets — including CCTV, body worn video, still images and 999 calls — effortlessly.
- reusing its systems and knowledge to create new capabilities effectively.
- delivering real-time information insights to front line staff and other force personnel.
- enabling greater synergy with Thames Valley Police.
To achieve all this and more, Hampshire Constabulary needed an enterprise content management (ECM) platform that could support all its application and data requirements.
Implementing Alfresco ECM would deliver all the flexibility Hampshire Constabulary needed plus provide a low entry cost that would enable the force to 'think big, start small and scale fast'. "As an open source product, Alfresco gave us the inherent platform flexibility we needed to achieve seamless integration with a multitude of systems and applications," confirms Christina.

Major depression with psychotic features is a mental disorder in which a person has depression along with loss of touch with reality (psychosis).
See also:
Major depression
Alternative Names
Psychotic depression; Delusional depression
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The cause is unknown. A family or personal history of depression or psychotic illness makes you more likely to develop this condition.
People with psychotic depression have symptoms of depression and psychosis.
Psychosis is a loss of contact with reality. It usually includes:
- Delusions: False beliefs about what is taking place or who one is
- Hallucinations: Seeing or hearing things that aren't there
The types of delusions and hallucinations are often related to your depressed feelings. For example, some patients may hear voices criticizing them, or telling them that they don't deserve to live. The person may develop false beliefs about their body, for example that they have cancer.
For information on symptoms of depression, see:
Signs and tests
Your health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms. Your answers and certain questionnaires can help your health care provider diagnose this condition and determine how severe it may be.
Blood and urine tests and possibly a brain scan may be done to rule out other medical conditions with similar symptoms.
Psychotic depression requires immediate medical care and treatment.
Treatment usually involves antidepressant and antipsychotic medication. You may only need antipsychotic medication for a short period of time.
Electroconvulsive therapy can help treat depression with psychotic symptoms. However, medication is usually tried first.
Expectations (prognosis)
This is a serious condition. You will need immediate treatment and close monitoring by a health care provider.
You may need to take medication for a long time to prevent the depression from coming back. Depression symptoms are more likely to return than psychotic symptoms.
The risk of suicide is much higher in people with depression with psychotic symptoms than in those without psychosis. You may need to stay in the hospital if you have thoughts of suicide. The safety of other people must also be considered.
Calling your health care provider
If you have thoughts of suicide or harming yourself or others, immediately call your local emergency number (such as 911) or go to the hospital emergency room.
You may also call a suicide hotline from anywhere in the United States, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week: 1-800-SUICIDE or 1-800-999-9999.
Call your health care provider right away if:
- You hear voices that are not there.
- You have frequent crying spells with little or no reason.
- Your depression is disrupting work, school, or family life.
- You think that your current medications are not working or are causing side effects. Never change or stop any medications without first talking to your health care provider.

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - Judd Apatow's "Funny People" starred Adam Sandler as George Simmons, a once-dynamic stand-up whose comic mojo has grown bloated and blunted after starring in a series of hit movies and ensconcing himself in a luxurious mansion.
Apatow's latest, "This Is 40" - about the financial and romantic foibles of a well-off couple hitting a milestone birthday - feels like George might have written it, or at least directed it.
The bawdy wit and crisp dialogue that were the hallmark of Apatow's "Knocked Up" (of which this is a quasi-sequel) and "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" are still very present, but the conflicts feel so cushy, so first-world, that one gets the impression that the filmmaker is losing touch with life as it is lived outside of Brentwood.
Not that the wealthy and the privileged can't have problems of their own, or can't be the subjects of drama, but when characters who drive BMWs, hang pricey contemporary art throughout their spacious house, go on spa weekends, cater lavish parties and have a seemingly endless supply of Sprinkles cupcakes in their kitchen, it's a little hard to be sympathetic when those same characters wail about their money woes.
I was reminded more than once of "Spanglish" (also, coincidentally, starring Sandler), another frustrating movie about privileged L.A. folk, a film that made me want Cher's character from "Moonstruck" to suddenly manifest so she could smack all the characters in the face and say, "Snap out of it!"
"Knocked Up" sideline characters Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Leslie Mann, Apatow's wife) return, facing the big 4-0 among other challenging issues in their life. Pete left his gig at Sony a few years ago to start an indie label for niche acts, and after shelling out for a new album by Graham Parker (playing himself throughout, with good cheer), the record's not selling.
Debbie's boutique (selling what the ladies of "Absolutely Fabulous" would call "gorgeous things") has a $12,000 shortfall, although she's so obsessed with her age that she never seems all that upset about the missing cash. (Again, these are very niche economic problems.)
While Pete tries to figure out how he can avoid losing the house, while still giving money to his dad (Albert Brooks), Debbie avoids telling her husband the bombshell news that she's pregnant. Meanwhile, their young daughters (played by Mann and Apatow's kids, Maude Apatow and Iris Apatow) are constantly squabbling, and Pete and Debbie find it tricky to lay down the boundaries when they've got vices of their own. (Debbie still secretly stress-smokes; Pete can't stop eating those cupcakes.)
As with most Apatow movies, "This Is 40" works best when characters are talking to each other about the real day-to-day mechanics of relationships, friendships, sex, aging and other relatable concepts. He's a master at crafting dialogue that's obscenely hilarious and blisteringly honest at the same time, and that gift hasn't eluded him.
But so much of the film centers around Paul and Debbie's privileged trappings (the trainer! the iPads!) and their impotent attempts to deal with it, that it's often like being trapped at a restaurant next to a table of people clucking about how you can't find a good nanny these days.
And that's a shame, because it's a waste of some very talented performers who nonetheless give the material everything they've got.
Rudd's one of those comic actors who makes it all look effortless, but with very little fanfare, he's becoming one of our most reliable leading men. For her part, Mann makes her character palatable, despite a few too many screechy moments, and her comic timing is so precise you could set your watch by it.
They're ably supported by a strong ensemble, from the Apatow sisters (very convincing as combative siblings) to Brooks, Robert Smigel, Jason Segel (as Debbie's semi-smarmy trainer), John Lithgow, Melissa McCarthy (hilarious as an enraged mom), Chris O'Dowd and Megan Fox (whose sense of humor and ability to be in on the joke when men around her are swooning over her body make her the millennial Jayne Mansfield - and I mean that as a high compliment).
Absent, if you were wondering, are Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl from "Knocked Up," with nary an explanation.
If Apatow's previous movies have made you laugh, then "This Is 40" certainly will as well. But those moments of great comedy are stuck together by a worldview so cosseted that it threatens to muffle an exceedingly talented screen artist.

I'm a geek. I love science fiction, fantasy, video games, and role playing (table top, and the fun kind you're thinking of).
I'll be honest with you - I'm not for everyone. I'm a special girl, one who you can dive into that dark secret place with and explore all those hidden fantasies. I like witches, vampires, warlocks, and am an avid world of warcraft player. I love domination and can control with the best of them.
I can deliver a total mind fuck like you've never experienced before. Are you ready for me? I don't think so

Carl Icahn owns 59 million Yahoo shares (YHOO), or 4% of the company. John Paulson, head of merger-arb shop Paulson & Co., who made a reported $3 billion personally shorting sub-prime last year, owns 50 million shares, Reuters says. So that's about 8% of Yahoo between them. Icahn is cleared to buy another 4%, which would make 12%.
No question how those shares will vote in a proxy fight. Then there's the 16% owned by Capital Research, whose Gordon Crawford was "extremely angry" with Jerry Yang for blowing the original Microsoft (MSFT) deal. And the 7% or so owned by Legg Mason's Bill Miller, who as much as said he'd be happy with $34 a share.
Add all of them together and you're at about 30%-35% of Yahoo's stock. Bill Miller won't vote to sack Yahoo's board unless he knows Microsoft will play ball, but let's assume Carl can at least create the impression that Microsoft's on board. Then Icahn, Paulson, & Co. only need to make it clear that they can scrape together another 15%-20% of the votes...and Jerry Yang and Roy Bostock will be on the next Seattle plane.

MINNEAPOLIS -- For a game absent of drama for the first six innings, the Twins-Royals series finale on Sunday turned into must-see TV.
For a second straight game, the Twins took advantage of a Royals' defensive blunder. A throwing error from Kansas City reliever Wade Davis in the eighth allowed two runs to score, giving the Twins a 4-3 win and a series sweep of their American League Central rivals at Target Field.View Full Game Coverage
The Royals held a 3-2 lead in the eighth before two relievers -- Aaron Crow and Davis -- combined to walk the bases loaded. Twins outfielder Chris Hermann found himself at the plate with a chance to be a hero.
Hermann's weak grounder was fielded by Davis, who attempted to start a potential 1-2-3 inning-ending double play. Instead, he threw the ball to the backstop. Pedro Florimon scored the tying run easily. Brian Dozier made an aggressive turn around third and scampered to the plate when a frustrated Davis didn't immediately cover home. Dozier's slide just eluded the tag for the go-ahead run.
"I knew he had to field it to his right," Dozier said, "come across the body, and he didn't really set his feet. You've got to be aggressive; you can't lose that. I saw Davis just hanging out 10 yards away, so I took a shot."
"You're coming from second base and you're taking a hard turn right there," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "[Dozier] sees the ball go to the backstop. He's gambling -- you got to. He's got speed. It was bang-bang at home plate and a good hustle play for Doz."
Davis' hesitation was all the opportunity Dozier needed to make a break for home.
"Once I made the turn and [Davis] wasn't sprinting back -- because I knew I was going to beat [Royals catcher Salvador] Perez there -- [Davis] wasn't getting to home anytime soon."
"I didn't rush it," Davis said. "I think I got to it and fielded it cleanly and went to grab it, and just didn't get a grip, palmed it and made a bad throw. I made a mistake by not getting to home plate and being there for that other run. I got frustrated and made a mental mistake by not getting there. It's unacceptable."
Dozier said that had Davis covered home immediately, he probably would've stayed at third.
"Most definitely," he said, "especially with one out. When you look up and you round the base, and you see nobody is covering home, you got to be aggressive. Take a shot, might as well."
Not overshadowed by the late-inning theater was the stellar performance of Twins starter Kevin Correia. He allowed three runs on six hits over seven innings and followed up Kyle Gibson and Ricky Nolasco by giving the club its third straight quality start of the series.
"It has to be a competition among starters to get deep into games," Gardenhire said, "and give your offense a chance to score some runs for you. They all went deep and gave us an opportunity, that's what we're looking for."
"I don't know that's something you feel, it's an obvious thing when you're pitching," Correia said. "But I think subconsciously, you see guys starting to throw the ball well and you start to throw the ball well. If you're watching positive results, they're more likely to happen for you."
Correia and the Twins held a 2-0 lead in the eighth before trouble arose. He started that frame by walking Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas on four pitches. After two more hits and a throwing error by Trevor Plouffe, Correia exited with a 2-1 lead. Twins relievers couldn't stop the bleeding and gave up the lead.
"[The Moustakas walk] is just something that shouldn't really happen," Correia said. It can't happen with a two-run lead. Luckily, we were able to score some runs and come back to win the game."
That wasn't the last of the strange events. Closer Glen Perkins pitched a perfect ninth to seal the victory, but the final out came by the way of runner's interference.
Moustakas stood at home plate after his popup, and Twins catcher Kurt Suzuki ran into him while trying to catch the ball. The umpire ruled the batter out and the game over.
"Moustakas was kind of just wondering watching the ball," Gardenhire said. "Suzuki came out and was looking for it himself, and when he took off running he ran into him. That's always on the hitter."

Bermuda von Veckenschtein, also known as "The Arcobaleno Of Vindice", is a baby Vindice possessing the Clear Arcobaleno Pacifier. He was the strongest Arcobaleno during his generation of Arcobaleno. He is the primary antagonist of the Curse of the Rainbow Arc and the final antagonist of the series.
Plot Overview Edit
The Curse of the Rainbow Arc Edit
2nd Day Representative Battle of the Rainbow Edit
The Vindice suddenly appeared and defeated Team Skull in a matter of seconds on the second day of the Representative Battle of the Rainbow. Jager was in the lead with Bermuda riding on his shoulder. At the end of the second day of the Representative Battle, Bermuda announces that he will take part in the battle with his team.
3rd Day Representative Battle of the Rainbow Edit
During the third day of the Representative Battle of the Rainbow, Bermuda and Jager observed the battle between their team against Team Reborn and Team Verde. He expressed his interest in Reborn, and after Jaque and his two teammates were defeated, he appeared in front of the both teams and offered Reborn to join his team. When Reborn refused, Bermuda forcefully took Reborn with him by sucking him into his warp hole. Unexpectedly though, Tsuna was also sucked into the warp hole when he tried to help Reborn.
At the Vindice Prison, Bermuda and Jager explained the secret behind the curse of the Arcobaleno and revealed their desires to take their revenge on Checker Face for what he had done and to honor the previous Arcobaleno by winning the Representative War, though this means sacrificing both the Vindice's and the current Arcobaleno's lives. Hearing this, Reborn rejected the offer and chose to follow Tsuna's will, amusing Bermuda. Jager and Tsuna engaged in combat with Jager gaining the upperhand since the start. Before Jager could continue further, Bermuda stopped him. He explained that he only wanted to show Reborn that Tsuna had no chance to beat him so he would reconsider his offer to join him once again, and will have his answer once the next representative battle starts. Before he left with Jager, he warned Reborn that whether he accepted or refused his invitation, he'll end up in hell.
4th Day Representative Battle of the Rainbow Edit
Bermuda sensed the flames and presences of each Team in three different locations and orders his members to split into three group. He and Jager approaches Reborn and his team to hear his answer regarding his invitation, to which Reborn declined. Hearing Reborn's answer, Bermuda orders Jager to fight, allowing him to kill whomever if necessary. Much to his and Jager's surprise, however, Reborn's representatives were all puppet decoys created by Verde, Irie, and Spanner, but noticed that Reborn is real and realizes that the three teams have joined forces to defeat him and his team. Shortly after Alejandro's defeat, Bermuda assumes that Tsuna and his friends are using a cover that able to hide their presence and Dying Will Flames, and according to the report from Big Pino and Smorgia, Team Verde are also decoy puppets but after they were destroyed, illusions appear, fighting them to buy times until Tsuna, Enma, and Basil arrive to defeat them. Knowing their plan, Jager suggested to Bermuda for them to go to Big Pino's and Small Gia's place, but they suddenly sense groups of flames and then Dino, Mukuro, Squalo, Xanxus, and Byakuran reveal themselves, preventing them from leaving.
Jager proceeds to seriously wound the entire group. He only appears to have trouble when Hibari arrives, seemingly unable to use the short warp for a brief period of time. The mystery is revealed with the arrival of Tsuna's group; Jager and the other Vindice have no flames of their own and are forced to draw their power directly from Bermuda. This is why Bermuda returns to Jager's shoulder frequently. With this revelation Bermuda is forced to withdraw as providing power violates the rules of the battle. Without Bermuda's power, Jager is overpowered by Tsuna. Frustrated by Tsuna's interference, Bermuda requests his present and changes to his true form.
Once back in his true form, Bermuda warps to each member of the group, breaking their watches and eliminating them from the battle. Bermuda then reveals that he can warp an infinite amount of times. He then engages Tsuna in a fight, only to be interrupted by an adult Reborn. Bermuda and Reborn begin to fight, and he manages to score a hit before Reborn shoots Tsuna in the head. With Tsuna entering Ultimate Dying Will Mode, he is able to dodge and counter all of Bermuda's attacks. Being cornered, Bermuda decides to use his most powerful technique, but Tsuna is able to see through this and defeat him in instant.
Shortly after his defeat, Checker Face personally showed himself, shocking them. He revealed that he merely was avoiding Bermuda's flame-detecting using the Segno Ring. His true identity as Kawahira, and the entire truth behind Tri-Ni-Set are revealed. As Kawahira prepared to remove the Arcobaleno Pacifiers, Talbot arrives, carrying jars that are enabled to place the Seven Flames of the Sky pacifiers in, which made the Arcobaleno pacifiers no longer needed. When Talbot said that the Flame of Night is necessary to keep the flames, Bermuda immediately agreed to continuously use his flames and protect the flames since this meant that he'll be able to take over the control of the Tri-Ni-Set from Kawahira, fulfilling his revenge. After the jars are inputted with a huge amount of flames the Arcobaleno curses' are broken. Bermuda and the Vindice decided to protect the jars for eternity in order to prevent anybody from becoming Arcobaleno again.
Weapons and Abilities Edit
Techniques Edit
- Warp Hole: Bermuda is able to teleport people to different locations.
- Empower: Bermuda is able to lend his allies Flame energy. If the Vindice don't get Flame energy from him, they cannot use their abilities, they're tired and have difficulty breathing.
- Short Warp: Like Jager, Bermuda can short warp himself. Since he has his own Flame energy, Bermuda can short warp without limit.
- Speed of Light Warp Hole: By moving through multiple portals made from the Flame of Night, Bermuda can propel himself quickly enough to reach the speed of light.
Trivia Edit
- In some translations, his surname is spelled as Vichtenstein.

Mayor Don Wesely said he was pleased by today's seven to zero vote by the City Council to adopt the city budget for 2000-2001.
"We are working well together on our mutual goal of holding the line on property taxes," Wesely said. "We accomplished this goal while providing a needed increase in police salaries, adding four more police officers to protect our citizens and improving other city services."
The city budget will also increase funding for sidewalk repairs, residential street rehabilitation and developing a new Comprehensive Plan for the city. The city's StarTran bus service will also be improved with two new north-south routes on 27th and 70th streets.

A Goldman Sachs Group Inc. managing director faces arraignment on charges of raping a woman at his rental home in East Hampton, New York, the wealthy beach community on the east end of Long Island.
Jason Lee, 37, of Manhattan, was to appear before state Supreme Court Justice Barbara Kahn today in Riverhead, New York, according to online court records. Lee was arrested and charged with first-degree rape in August after police went to his Clover Leaf Lane home and learned that a woman had been sexually assaulted inside the residence, where several people had gathered, according to a police statement.
A grand jury indicted Lee last month on one count of first- degree rape, which carries a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison, and misdemeanor counts of assault and sexual misconduct, according to court records. He was freed on $20,000 cash bail.
Lee's employer wasn't identified in the police statement. Lee, who lives in New York, is head of convertibles at Goldman Sachs and has been placed on leave, according to a person familiar with the matter who wasn't authorized to speak publicly about a private personnel matter and asked not to be named.
Lee, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, has been with Goldman Sachs since March 1998, according to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
He led "many of the firm's most complicated financing and risk-management transactions for corporate clients" while managing convertible and equity derivative origination for financial, health-care and consumer companies, according to a biography posted on the website of a 2009 Milken Institute conference where he was a scheduled speaker.
'Accomplished Individual'
Lee "adamantly" denies the allegations and looks forward to clearing his name in court, a spokesman, Risa Heller, said on Aug. 28. He's a "very accomplished individual" who has never been in trouble with the law, and his wife supports him, said Heller, a publicist who has worked with former U.S. Congressman and New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner, former New York Governor David Paterson and U.S. Senator Charles Schumer.
Brian Desesa, an attorney representing Lee, said in a phone interview after Lee's arrest that the case is a "huge travesty" and an "injustice." He said Lee would be cleared of the charges "once the story comes out."
Heller declined to comment further in advance of the arraignment.
Waive Reading
Bob Clifford, a spokesman for Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota's office, said in an e-mail that he expected Lee's attorney to waive the reading of the indictment at the arraignment and enter a plea of not guilty. Clifford said he also expected Kahn to discuss bail and future court dates in the case.
Lee was arrested by East Hampton town police Aug. 20, his 37th birthday, after a woman told them she first met Lee at a club on Wainscott Stone Road and he bought her and friends drinks, according to authorities.
Later at the house at about 4 a.m., the woman said, Lee was naked when he tried to follow her into a bathroom and he shoved the door with such force that she fell to the floor, where he pinned her down. She struggled and during the attack kneed him in the groin, she told police.
A description of a four-bedroom, three-bathroom 2,700- square-foot house on the street where Lee was arrested, posted on the website of Douglas Elliman Real Estate, said it was available from Aug. 1 until Labor Day, Sept. 2, for $33,000.
The case is New York v. Lee, 02053/2013, Suffolk County Court, Criminal Term.
