Three UC Berkeley Graduates Detained in Iran
The three American hikers who recently disappeared in Iran have been identified as UC Berkeley graduates. At least two are journalists based in Africa and the Middle East.
The university's News Center reported Aug. 3 that former students Shane Bauer, Sarah Emily Shourd and Joshua Felix Fattal were hiking in Iraq's Kurdistan region last week when they were reportedly detained by the Iranian government. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asked Iranian authorities to provide information about their safety.
Bauer, who was born in Minnesota, is a 2007 peace and conflict studies graduate and used his fluency in Arabic to work in North Africa and the Middle East, where he spent the majority of the last six years. His website shows that he has recently produced stories on Iraq and Syria for New American Media.
As an undergraduate, Bauer, 27, took courses in UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism, going on to win the university's Matthew M. Lyon Prize in Photography in 2007 for his photographs of the devastation in Darfur, Sudan.
On his website, Bauer is described as "a documentary photographer and journalist whose work focuses on the effects of social, economic, and political realities on the lives of people around the world." His blog posts cover a wide array of topics, ranging from the violence of al Qaeda to orphans in Ethiopia to unrest in the Arab world. Bauer's photographs of the residents of a hotel in San Francisco's Tenderloin district were selected by his classmates as the lead story of the journalism school's May 2007 issue of Realeyes magazine.
Shourd, 30, transferred from Diablo Valley College to UC Berkeley in 2000. She graduated three years later with a B.A. in English. Shourd recently reported a story for New American Media on Israel's Golan Heights.
The website bravenewtraveler.com describes Shourd as a "teacher-activist-writer from California currently based in the Middle East."
Her last story for the website, in 2008, was titled "Escape from Iraq: A Muslim Family Finds Solace in Ramadan.
Fattal, 27, graduated from UC Berkeley in 2004 with a B.S. in environmental economics and policy from the College of Natural Resources. Shon Meckfessel, a fourth American detainee, who news reports said was with the three in Turkey but did not take part in the July 31 hike, enrolled in a summer course in Arabic at UC Berkeley two years ago and is currently going to graduate school in linguistics at the University of Washington.
The Times UK reported a Kurdish official who said the three contacted one of their colleagues to say they had entered Iran "accidentally" Friday and had found themselves surrounded by troops. The Times said that Iran's state television had reported that the Americans were arrested after they did not listen to warnings from Iranian border guards. It said that efforts by Swiss diplomats to get information about the three had been unsuccessful.
Earlier this year Current TV journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee, who were held by North Korean authorities near the China border, were sentenced to 12 years of hard labor for illegal entry into the country and "hostile acts."
Former U.S. President Bill Clinton traveled to North Korea and negotiated their release.

The event will be webcast at www.livestream.com/ibmsoftware. Follow the action on People for a Smarter Planet on Facebook at http://on.fb.me/9S1Jp8, and share your thoughts on Twitter at #IBMSmartCamp.
With a focus on accelerating the development of solutions that exploit the vast amount of information already available across cities to deliver better citizen services, IBM SmartCamp provides mentorship to early stage start-ups and facilitates access to venture capital companies.
IDC Government Insights estimates the new Smarter Cities information technology market opportunity at $34 billion in 2011, increasing more than 18 percent per year to $57 billion by 2014.
"Helping cities address their biggest challenges requires rapid innovation and an in depth understanding of multiple industries and the latest technology," said Jim Corgel, general manager, Developer Relations, IBM. "We believe entrepreneurs will play a critical role in addressing the needs of cities around the world. That is why we are working closely with startups to push the limits of innovation and get their products to market faster by providing coaching and connections to IBM clients and partners."
IBM SmartCamp Brazil is being held in conjunction with the IBM Venture Capital Symposium. The events will bring together entrepreneurs, investors, representatives from universities and IBM executives, who will discuss business opportunities for companies that develop solutions that contribute to the daily life of cities and the country's development.
Brazil is a key growth market for IBM. The expansion of IBM's Global Entrepreneur initiative into Brazil earlier this year, is part of IBM's ongoing efforts to engage with entrepreneurs in key emerging markets, such as Brazil, India, China and Turkey. Collaborating with entrepreneurs helps fuel global innovation and growth and plays a role in IBM's ability to deliver value to clients.

Take a look at the two young strapping lads in the first leaked image from the set of 'Neighbors 2.'
The sequel centers on the travesty that is a sorority opening up shop down the street from Teddy Sander's (Zac Efron) beer-soaked palace of decadent depravity. Apparently Selena Gomez is set to co-star as well, so there's that.
At least Seth's taking care of himself. Look at those abs and that definition. Sheesh.

Iqbal Hussain, CEC member, shares a story of villagers' participation in saving the life of a tiger in Bangladesh.
For the first time in Bangladesh, a stray tiger was saved from a cruel fate at the hands of villagers by being immobilised, before being released into the forest by a Forest Department and Sundarbans Tiger Project (STP) of Wildlife Trust of Bangladesh (WTB) on 20 February, 2011.
It was a wonderful example of village people's participation in saving a tiger successfully and how Sundarbans Tiger Project's years efforts showing results. The incident occurred in Harinagar village of Shyamnagar Upazila in Satkhira district.
The villagers saw the tiger swimming across the canal towards their village on 19 February, Saturday. They immediately called the Village Tiger Response Team (VTRT, formed and trained earlier by the Sundarbans Tiger Project) and Hafiz of Kadomtala VTRT gathered his team.
Hafiz then called Osman Goni of the Forest Tiger Response Team (FTRT), who then called Alam Hawlader and others of the Sundarbans Tiger Project.
Meanwhile the news of the distressed tiger spread quickly among the villagers, and by 9:30 pm the crowd had surrounded the tiger.
The tiger was hit with a stick on its head. One of its eyes was injured. Three people were also injured. It was only when more Forest Department staff, Border Guards (BGB) and police arrived at the spot that the crowd came under control.
Fortunately the Kadamtola Station was equipped with the necessary equipment for immobilizing tigers, provided by the Wildlife Trust of Bangladesh last year.
Hearing the news, Abu Naser Hossain, Assistant Conservator of Forests (ACF), immediately obtained verbal permission from the authorities to immobilize the tiger. (click on image to enlarge)
The ACF and Forest Department field staff with assistance from the Village Tiger Response Teams (VTRTs) and other STP members successfully immobilized the tiger and released it into the forest.
Abu Naser M Hossain and Towfiqul Islam, ACFs of the Forest Department; and Dr Adam Barlow, Christina Greenwood, Mary Greenwood, Mijanur Rahman, Alam Hawlader, Osman Goni and Tanvir Kha of the Sundarbans Tiger Project of Wildlife Trust of Bangladesh, and the Zoological Society of London, were among others who led the whole exercise.
It was an old tigress weighing about 80 kg, aged around 12 years. Two of her canine teeth were badly broken and the rest were worn with age. (click on image to enlarge)
The Village Tiger Response Team (VTRT) succeeded in controlling the crowd. The Forest Department and WTB team immobilized the tigress at about 1:40 am on the 20th, and instantly carried it to the boat. They then went down to the Dubeki Guard Post, 2 hours drive from the spot, south of the Sundarbans.
She recovered on the WTB's wooden boat, although there was sufficient room for her to move freely inside the cabin. The temperature on the night was quite cool, and she recovered slowly from the effects of the anaesthetic. Her temperature, breathing, etc were continuously monitored by Dr Adam Barlow and others on the boat to make sure that she was in a stable state.
She woke up the next day, ate four chickens, and drank lots of water as she recovered her full strength. When she was feeling sufficiently strong, and the tide was at a safe level, the team released her into her natural habitat by opening the cabin door. She then jumped from the boat on to the muddy bank, and disappeared back into her natural habitat. This was around 10.25pm on February 20.
Remarking on the importance of immobilisation, Abu Naser, the ACF said: "We overcame a dangerous situation with great teamwork. By using these modern wildlife management techniques, we can save more people and tigers in the future".
Last year, STP had also provided immobilisation training to 30 field level staff of the Forest Department by inviting Dr John Lewis of the Wildlife Vets International to conduct the programme. The training had covered methods of capturing and immobilising wildlife.
We only hope that this success has built the trust of the Forest Department in people; they will now know that killing a tiger is not the only solution. Saving tigers required a joint initiative between the community, the government and NGOs.

It was about a couple working for a government agency - she was a witch (or at least could ride a broom - maybe she was telekinetic) and he was a werewolf. I have it associated with Robert Heinlein, but that may be just because I was reading a lot of his work at the time (I have tried to Google various combinations associated with Heinlein to no avail). Does anyone remember a story like this?

As much as I loved the Noodler's Liberty's Elysium ink, I wasn't 100% happy with its non-fully waterproofness, so last December I decided to continue my quest to find the perfect blue ink.
After watching a video about Noodlers 54th Massachussets at Goulet Pens, I passed an order of a bottle of 54th M. and another of Noodler's Polar Blue. I will review the Polar Blue another day, today I wanted to speak about this wonderful and beautiful blue-black ink.
The only thing I don't fully love is color, a bit to dark for me. It's very (very!) saturated, with little shading, I guess I'm going to dilute it a bit next time to reduce saturation and see if it does some shading and a bluer color. It doesn't feathers, even on bad paper, and that's a big positive point for me (and Polar Blue and its Black sister, aren't great on that area). It's waterproofness is really stunning, as usual in Noodler's bulletproof inks (besides Liberty's Elysium). It flows good on my Noodler's Konrad, I had read it was somewhat dry or hard-starting, I haven't found it so.
In brief, I really like this ink, I only wish it was a bit bluer. Maybe I should try Noodler's Upper Ganges Blue next time...
As usual, Ive also posted this review in my FP blog.

Royals - 300 000 600 001 - 10 14 1 Red Sox - 043 200 000 000 - 9 20 0The Red Sox bullpen blew a six-run lead, as seven straight Royals reached bases against Andrew Miller, Mark Melancon, and Craig Breslow (in order of both appearance and culpability). Then, in the 12th inning, the bottom of Kansas City's order staged a two-out rally against Clayton Mortensen, Boston's eighth pitcher of the night.
Tonight was only the sixth game since 1918 - and the first since September 1981 - in which the Red Sox banged out at least 20 hits and failed to score in double digits.
The 20 hits were a season high. Mauro Gomez had four hits, Cody Ross had three and six other Boston players had two. The only player in the starting lineup not to have at least two hits was Dustin Pedroia, who had one.
The Red Sox had built up a 9-3 lead thanks to the hitting of both Mauro Gomez (4-for-6, 3 RBI, his first major league home run) and Mike Aviles (a three-run dong in the second). Royals starter Jeremy Guthrie recorded eight outs and allowed seven runs.
Aaron Cook (6-7-3-1-0, 72) allowed hits to the first four batters of the game, but settled down after that, allowing only one baserunner past first.

I technically joined the security community last year when I began my Master's in Information Security at Carnegie Mellon University. I gained a lot of theoretical and practical knowledge from the program, but my internship with ASSET gave me a totally new perspective on how security in a large organization works. I worked on multiple projects over the summer in the beautiful city of San Francisco. I have outlined one of them below.
Adobe follows a Secure Product Lifecycle (SPLC).To cater to the large number of current and future Adobe products, the security guidance provided to the teams by ASSET needs to be scalable. Scalability requires automation, or else the number of security researchers and their time becomes a bottleneck. Security guidance is also intended to focus on the configuration of the projects. For example, a Web service written in Java that handles confidential information requires a very different set of guidelines to follow as compared to an Android application.
For such targeted guidance, we use a smart system called SD Elements. For SD Elements, I performed a gap-analysis on security recommendations of Android and iOS apps as well as on desktop and rich-client applications. I researched quite a bit in the process. Some of my sources included the CERT guidelines for securing applications, internal pen-test reports, and a lot of academic research papers and vendor reports. Adobe has now moved to cloud deployment for many of their products: Creative Cloud and Marketing Cloud are prime examples. To support this recent momentum, I also expanded the deployment phase in SD Elements which is a set of guidelines for DevOps teams to securely deploy and maintain their applications in the cloud.
During my internship, I worked with Mohit Kalra who was my manager and Karthik Raman, my mentor. They were always available to guide me whenever I got stuck on a problem and always gave me specific Adobe context. My other team-members were also very helpful and considerate throughout the internship and they always made me feel at home. As part of Adobe Be Involved month, I also got a chance to volunteer at Edgewood Center for Children and Families, which was a humbling experience. We played kickball with the kids and it was really great to see smiles on their faces.

As a result of my internship at Adobe, I feel like I've really improved my technical knowledge and my understanding of how security works within an organization. Thanks, Adobe.

Did you watch the YouTube video titled the "World's Toughest Job"? If not, prepare for a spoiler alert.
The video is about Moms. It's about all the wonderful things Mom's do for us. Things they do day after day. Unconditionally and selflessly. It's about the beauty of Moms. And, it went viral.
With all the things that our Moms do for us and with Mother's Day just around the corner, we wanted to know how to recognize and reward them for their hard work. So, we reached out to some experts…Moms! And, this is what they said…
Overall, gift cards topped the list. This surprised us since gift cards may seem a bit impersonal. Yet, it means that Moms can use the gift cards to purchase whatever they would like or need. So, the Moms we surveyed say gift cards rule!
Assorted gift packages or a day at the spa are greatly appreciated. And, kitchen appliances ranked high on the list. Who knew?! We certainly didn't, but we agree. Who wouldn't love a blender, food processor, mixer, or any gadget that makes life easier!
While the majority of Moms said that they enjoy both handmade and store-bought gifts, their favorite and most memorable gifts were those that were handmade. They cherish the handcrafted cards, flowers, and accessories that their kids make especially for them.
We hope that you have the chance to thank your Mom in as many ways as you can and as often as you can. We wish you a wonderful time celebrating the beauty of your Mom!
How will you celebrate Mom this coming Mother's Day?

With the return of the loading screen tips, now displayed during pause, we'd like to add some more tips to that list. These tips can either be general gameplay advice, which are randomly selected from, or tied to a specific hero so the tip will only appear if that hero is actually present in the game. We'd like to educate not only players new to Dota, but also highlight some of the less well known corners of Dota gameplay depth that experienced players may not be aware of.
If anyone has suggestions for tips you'd like to see in the pause screen, please post them here. Thank you!

InformationWeek publishes an interesting article about the state of Business Intelligence 2008. This last year has been a very moved one in this area, with great adquisitions (Cognos, BO, Hyperion, etc.) by big companies (Oracle, SAP, Microsoft, etc.) that changes the actual panorama of this sector.

Creditor's deceased husband had invested in a liquidation business (GLC) but later lost the money invested when GLC turned out to be a Ponzi scheme. Creditor contended that debtor had solicited her deceased husband to invest while knowing that GLC was a Ponzi scheme and that claim was nondischargeable under 11 U.S.C. Section 523(a)(2)(A), (4) and (6). Court found that debtor did not know about Ponzi scheme, that there was no intent to deceive and the claim was dischargeable in bankruptcy.
The Middle District of Georgia offers opinions in PDF format, listed by year and judge. For a more detailed search, enter the keyword or case number in the search box above.
Please note: These opinions are not a complete inventory of all judges' decisions and are not documents of record. Official court records are available at the clerk's office.
Chief Judge James P. Smith
Judge John T. Laney, III
The creditor who financed the debtor's vehicle purchase was named as a lienholder on the vehicle title certificate, despite the debtor not having signed a security agreement. The debtor moved the Court to order the creditor to remove its name from the title. Under Florida law, which applied to this case, notation on a title certificate does not in itself grant a security interest--the security interest must be in a separate, written document. The Court held that the creditor was unsecured and granted the debtor's motion.
The Chapter 7 trustee moved for summary judgment in an adversary proceeding seeking to avoid the debtor's allegedly fraudulent transfers to the debtor's son. In a lengthy opinion, the Court held that the record contained many disputed issues of material fact arising from the defendant's argument that the debtor was merely returning property belonging to the debtor. The Court also examined the impact of the 2010 amendments to the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56.
In response to two pro se adversary complaints, the debtor moved to dismiss for failure to state a claim, for a more particular statement, and to strike allegations. The Court addressed, at length, each of the debtor's objections to the complaints. The Court granted in part and denied in part the debtor's motions, and the Court gave the plaintiffs an opportunity to amend their complaints.

The Court granted in part and denied in part the debtor's motions, and the Court gave the plaintiffs an opportunity to amend their complaints.
Secured creditor objected to confirmation of Chapter 13 Debtor's plan on the ground that the plan undervalued its collateral, a manufactured home. Debtor conceded the home was undervalued but disputed the creditor's valuation. At a hearing, Debtor presented evidence of value based on a market approach and comparable sales, and the creditor presented evidence of value based on a cost approach and NADA values. The court found Debtor's evidence better reflected current retail values for manufactured homes in the locality. Therefore, the Court accepted the value proffered by Debtor and required Debtor to amend his plan to reflect that value.
Debtor's errors and omissions from schedules were based on carelessness and inadequate legal counsel. They did not rise to the level of fraudulent intent necessary to deny a discharge under 11 USC sec. 727(a)(2) or (a)(4).
The debtor's student loans were nondischargeable because debtor failed to prove repayment of the loans would cause undue hardship. The court applied the three-prong Brunner analysis, and found the debtor failed to prove prong 2: that repayment of the loans would prevent her from maintaining a minimal standard of living for the duration of the loan repayment period. The debtor was currently employed. Although she might have to change jobs in the future, she had no health problems preventing her from working; and she could expect her expenses to decrease in the near future.
When assignee of a credit card claim failed to attached a copy of the assignment to its proof of claim, the proof of claim was nevertheless entitled to prima facie validity under Rule 3001(f) so long as an attached summary included substantially all the information required by Rule 3001(c)(3)(A). Debtor's testimony that he did not know the assignee and had never done business with the assignee was not sufficient to rebut the presumption of validity when debtor admitted the debt on his schedules and no competing proofs of claim were filed. Therefore, the debtor's objection to the proof of claim based on unenforceability under state law was overruled.
Court denied discharge to debtor who transferred his one-half interest in his residence one month prior to filing for bankruptcy. The court found the transfer was made with intent to hinder, delay, or defraud a creditor under 11 U.S.C. § 727(a)2)(A).

Loyalty being what it is these days in college football, you didn't know whether to be happy or sad to see Barry Alvarez back on the Wisconsin sideline seven years after he left coaching to become the Badgers' athletic director.
Wisconsin was one of two schools playing Tuesday - Northern Illinois was the other - whose head coach bailed out on the team between the end of the regular season and a bowl game. That's becoming such a regular occurrence, even when big-time BCS bowls like the Rose and Orange are involved, that it hardly qualifies as news. At least a half-dozen other teams found themselves in the same position during the current bowl season, and five more had to make do without one of their coordinators in the fold, which can be every bit as disruptive.
We even have a repeat offender this time around: Butch Jones, who left Cincinnati on Dec. 7 - a day after promising the athletic director he would return - to take the head-coaching job at Tennessee. He did the same thing to Central Michigan two years ago, and in both cases left the bowl mop-up work to assistant Steve Stripling, who followed Jones to Cincinnati and is already set to join his new staff at Tennessee. Nobody gets mad at shenanigans like that anymore, especially when the coach, like Jones, is an up-and-comer. There's too much money at stake now for either side to take it personally.
Even so, a few things made the Swap-O-Rama at Wisconsin more interesting than most. First off, running a Big 10 program used to be viewed as a destination job, but when Bret Bielema traded the Badgers for the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Southeastern Conference, it reinforced the perception that for any coach with serious championship ambitions, the SEC is the only place to be. Second, even though six of Bielema's assistants have already lined up jobs elsewhere next season, they all decided to work the Rose Bowl alongside Alvarez, which only seemed fair considering how well he treated every one of them in the past. And then there was Alvarez himself.
The Wisconsin seniors essentially ``drafted'' him after Bielema ditched them, and sweet as it was that he agreed to come out of retirement for this one game, his motives weren't entirely charitable. Alvarez makes $1 million a year as AD, and his deal includes a $118,000 bonus for coaching in the Rose and $50,000 more for winning it.
Even though Wisconsin lost 20-14, most still looked at the temporary measure as money well spent.
``I think it served as a unifying factor,'' junior linebacker Chris Borland said. ``Not that this team would ever experience any dissension, we've got a bunch of character guys. But to have Coach Alvarez come back ... I think it calmed guys' nerves. Initially, I think there was a little anxiety about the situation, at least from the younger guys, and to have Coach Alvarez step back and come back and coach, it brought everybody together.''
For his part, Alvarez said the seven years watching games from a booth upstairs hadn't dulled his competitive instincts, even though the loss snapped his personal 3-0 Rose Bowl streak. An interception by Stanford's Usua Amanam as Wisconsin was driving late also ensured the Badgers a third consecutive heartbreaking loss in Pasadena.
``You know what? Every game we had out here was very competitive,'' he said. ``We were fortunate to come out on top in my (previous) games. This game, the only thing that's different than the other teams that I coached is somehow we found a way to win, and we weren't fortunate enough to get a win today.''
Considering the way the regular season went in Madison, though, you could argue Wisconsin was playing the Rose Bowl with house money. The Badgers nearly lost star running back Montee Ball after he was attacked in August and suffered a concussion, only one reason they had trouble scoring points. They lost three games in overtime and two others by a total of three points, then wound up with the conference's Rose Bowl slot because the two teams ahead of them - Ohio State and Penn State - were ineligible for postseason play.
As an added bonus, Gary Andersen, the former Utah State coach Alvarez hired to replace Bielema, had the chance to watch the bowl practices with some of his incoming staff and was on the sideline Tuesday night to observe the players he'll inherit go through the ringer in a big game.
``The advantages are they had a chance to evaluate the players and have an idea in their minds when they get here, what they have and what they have to recruit, the strengths and weaknesses of the team,'' Alvarez said. ``As I told the team, we have a very good nucleus coming back next year, a lot of juniors, and they have a chance to be an outstanding squad again next year.''
By then, Alvarez, who turned 66 a few days ago, will be back in his office and probably glad of it. So credit him with making the best of a bad situation. But if you watched Alvarez come out of the tunnel at the start of the game, taking two quick steps before veering sharply left to get out of the way of his onrushing players, you know he hardly needed reminding that coaching is a young man's game.

Aliens vs Predator
Playing at 1920x1080 was pleasant enough, but the card loses pace once the filters are on. The difference between EVGA GTX 650 Ti and GTX 660 is more evident when antialiasing is in the game. In fact, turning on antialiasing clearly separates GTX 650 (Ti) from GTX 660 (Ti) and it's clear this isn't a card built to handle antialiasing at 1920x1080.

Shamus Plays: Champions Online, Part 1

Shamus Plays: Champions Online, Part 1
Star on Chest just hates it when cities don't have proper alien invasion plans.
Weird question, Shamus, why drag this one back up and run it again? Or were there differences that my own memory lapse missed?
Wow, this brings back memories!
Re-runs? Boo! Hiss!
To be honest your wife had a right to be concerned if you had spent a large proportion of your day staring at an idealised male characture.
Is there ever going to be another new lets play series? Becuase i don't think your concience can take that kind of rise in the scuicide rate if there isn't.
Plus i may be forced to kill this adorable kitten
A new series or the kitten get it!
I can understand this. I don't know how much overlap there is between TwentySided and Escapist, but I bet it's mostly one-way (i.e. lots of TwentySided fans have come to the Escapist because Shamus is now here, but very few have gone the other way - no offense Shamus). Therefore, there's quite a high chance that this series, which does have its comedic value, has not been seen before by most of the population of the Escapist...
Those who have seen it, well, just read or don't read it. Maybe you've forgotten most of it by now? Either way, it's nice to see the original Let's Play series airing here, and it's easy work for Shamus, so he gets a bit of a rest. We all win, right?
Ah, the happy weeks I'd spend just trying to get the costume right.
Craptacular game, where every character does every single one of the same boring, reptitive quests, because there is no other way to level besides quest grinding. Ever power framework is structured the same, just with slightly different animations, there is no in-game help from the GM's, they just occasionally hand out freebies, and there is absolutely no immersion. The best part of City of Heroes was it was the only MMO thatw as not gear dependent, and this game kills that by the time you are level 10. If you are not well equipped, you are gimped.
Just wondering, but when people cry for help, does Star on Chest's super-agent swoop down and start asking if they have the appearance fee on them?
I finally managed to play this game yesterday for about two hours. But after getting back from a lunch break, I couldn't get on, again. It would just freeze up on me during the loading screen.
I actually did read this when I was checking out 20 sided one morning and got way too addicting. Weird coincidence, but I was actually thinking of checking Champions Online out. Any one here play and have some thoughts?
Haha, I remember reading this. As one of the 6 or so people who don't care if its a re-run, I look forward to more.
Also, ENTIRE OTHER TEAM IS BABIES!
Hmm...Well, I'll read it twice!
Is Star on Chest even built to take gunshots to the face?
Can't stop smiling when I read this. "If not, grab a brick." I'm going to try and quote that more often.
Looking forward to seeing more of this. Champions was pretty fun for the first month I played it, until I ran into the walls of "out of content" and "leveling up takes forever" around level 33. They made a nice corner of "I don't feel like paying for this anymore." And I think I'll drop this wall analogy because I'm bad at it.
I've seen more adorable kittens. That one is a 5/10 at best.
Have you seen that chin? It could repel a nuclear blast.
Stop me if you've heard this one before, but... I've read this already on your other blog! I hope you are using this time to find another MMO to play... like WOW or something.
Well I'm in the "visit twentysided a lot less than I really should" demographic, so this is new to me, and very welcome. Extremely funny, and I look equally forward to a more up-to-date Let's Play series. :)
I never read the LOTRO one, because I started paying attention to the articles on the Escapist when it was about halfway over. I've never read this, either. So thanks very much for the read. You're a very funny man!
It's a very common police tactic to shoot the guy who's going to save your bacon in the face. I believe it was first created in the Marvel Universe by a cop who was bored of merely giving superheroes flak for the speed at which they were stopping criminals.
I look forward to super-shenanigans!
I happen to be in the, um, "never visited twentysided or played D&D ever" demographic, so this is brand new and highly entertaining. Yay Shamus!
Well, some people did miss it when it was originally ongoing (myself included).
Heh, this brings back memories of that horrific starting area. I really hope you give that annoying Ironclad mission the treatment it deserves.
I enjoyed this, though; by the time I discovered Lulzy, you were already 20 in and I didn't feel like catching all the way up. It's nice to be able to follow a new segment from the beginning.
I've visited twentysided before and read this one quite a bit, but not all of it. I'm happy with what I'm getting.
But it would be cool if you did a Dungeons&Dragons Online one, just like the Adventures of Lulzy. It would be interesting to read that one. I remember all of the F2P quests until level 13 pretty darn well, at least i think so. It would be cool to see all the quests from another perspective.
Unlike some, I am hooked on this part already. Keep them going Shamus, you good-for-nothing loser--I mean dork!
I enjoyed playing champions, it was fun and interesting to me.
For a limited time only, we have all the old LotRO articles up for reading!
Also, Star on Chest is great even without heroin!
If you watch any TV at all, you'd be well served by using that time instead to catch up on Lulzy.
I actually really enjoy champions, bought it Day 1 and currently have my subscription up and running. It's still really flawed, but the combat is so much fun.
His latest blog entry actually talks about his decision to do this.
I am a little disappointed, personally, but escapist has a huge audience that hasn't ever visited his main site, so it seems like a safe move.
I tried Champions Online out a while ago - it was only $10, so combined with the free month it was a pretty great deal. Too bad the game itself wasn't that great - it only held my interest long enough to play for one session of about 3 hrs. But now, I can vicariously experience the rest of the game, in a way that's probably more entertaining than actually playing! Thanks, Shamus!
I have to disagree, your powers determined a LOT more than your equipped items in this. A character with a particularly nasty set of powers and nothing equipped is a lot more effective than a character with poorly chosen powers and great equipment. Granted having the gear is a nice boost, I didn't notice much improvement in that regard until around 30-ish when I could wear some really nice stuff.
Somehow I get the feeling Star on Chest is making his Escapist debut despite having been available on Twenty-Sided for some time due to the Star Wars MMO (I forgot the name since, well, I don't care much about it) not being released yet. I'd bet that's next on the Plays list.
It was better in the original vernacular. ;)
This was an awesome LP so I'm willing to let it slide.
Aw man. I was hoping for something new, but at least people will be able to see this, as they should; it's fucking awesome.
I did read this before, but I enjoyed it enough to read it again. Maybe we could look at this one like a "Director's Cut" or "Special Edition" wherein Star on Chest shoots first. Though I suspect he always shoots first.
And for what it's worth I really liked Champions. Id probably give it another run, try the new content they're adding, if it weren't for FFXIV coming soon (and my limited income). Woo.
Brilliantly written, loved it Shamus, especially since I haven't already read it.

Kathleen Sebelius, the Department of Health and Human Services Secretary, officially welcomed delegates to the XIX International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2012) with messages of encouragement and by introducing a series of public-private partnerships to help end the AIDS epidemic in the United States.
"In the United States, infections among injection drug users have dropped more than 80 percent," she said. "Pediatric cases of HIV are down more than 90 percent. And the last time this conference was held on American soil, there was no effective treatment for HIV. Today, someone diagnosed with HIV and treated before the disease is far advanced can have a nearly normal life expectancy.
"Around the world, new infections are falling. The ranks of those on treatment are growing. In countries where AIDS has taken its greatest toll, life expectancies are beginning to rise once again.
"As a result," she continued, "we've reached a point where the goal of an AIDS-free world, once a far-off dream, is now within sight."
But now is not the time for "easing up, slowing down, or shifting our focus," she said. There is still a tremendous amount of work left to be done locally—one in every 16 black men living in Washington, DC, is living with HIV—as well as nationally, where the new infection rate has stopped falling and is actually rising among young gay and bisexual men, and globally, where millions who need antiretroviral (ARV) therapy still aren't getting it.
Kathleen Sebelius, Health and Human Services Secretary, addressing approximately 21,000 delegates at the AIDS 2012 opening ceremony.
Focusing primarily on the fight in the United States, Sebelius noted that the National HIV/AIDS Strategy unveiled two years ago "has given a new sense of direction and purpose to our domestic response."
It starts with more funding, she explained. "For roughly a decade before the President came into office, domestic HIV prevention funding had been flat. Since President Obama has come into office, resources have increased every year. And on Thursday, we announced nearly $80 million for HIV/AIDS treatment, which will expand care for 14,000 new patients, and which states say will allow them to fully clear their ADAP waiting lists."
The new strategy is also allowing the government to target resources more effectively to the communities that have been hardest hit, she said. "Already, we've made key changes in how we distribute funds to health departments for prevention, moving to a new formula that better reflects the needs of today. And we're focusing on the interventions that have been proven to work best, including testing, linkage to care and treatment.
"And I'm proud to say that today, Americans have better access to these life-saving interventions than ever before. Thanks to the historic health care legislation signed by President Obama, America is on its way to joining the rest of the industrialized world in making affordable health coverage available to all our citizens. And we're outlawing the worst abuses of an insurance industry that often sought to lock people with HIV/AIDS out of the market, cap their share, or cancel their coverage without cause."
The Obama administration also has its eyes focused forward, with a handful of initiatives designed to foster collaboration between the public and private sectors to advance progress where it is needed.
"This evening," Sebelius said, "I'm proud to announce four public-private collaborations that will make it easier for Americans to get HIV care."
First—and greatly welcomed by many HIV treatment activists, providers and other direct-service providers throughout the country—is the long-awaited creation and release of a single application form for ARVs offered through patient assistance programs. According to Sebelius, all pharmaceutical companies manufacturing ARVs will begin accepting the common form starting September 1, 2012.
This single common form will allow uninsured individuals living with HIV to apply for multiple assistance programs, providing coverage for an entire course of antiretroviral therapy regardless of manufacturer. By reducing barriers to medication access for those living with HIV, this streamlined process will encourage eligible patients to begin or continue their needed treatment.
DHHS is also working with Medscape, a provider of online continuing education for health care providers, to create new training programs to help them better understand and address the needs of people living with HIV.
The agency is launching two partnerships with the MAC AIDS Fund: a mobile texting pilot program called UCARE4LIFE to help people living with HIV receive important reminders and tips for managing their disease, and a joint project with PEPFAR that will bring together international leaders to explore how lessons learned through PEPFAR can be applied to the U.S.
Finally, DHHS will partner with Walgreens to evaluate new collaborative agreements between health care providers and community pharmacists designed to deliver drug therapy management and other supportive services to improve retention in care, adherence to drug treatment regimens, and, ultimately, health outcomes among their HIV-infected patients.
"I want to thank all of these partners for stepping up," Sebelius said. "And we will continue to seek out new public-private collaborations that will help us beat this disease."

Cilantro works well with Chlorella in supporting heavy metals detox.
Heavy Metal Detoxofication, Chelation, Antiviral.
Physicians who specialize in environmental medicine reported that the herb Cilantro is able to bond and detox heavy metals. According to Dr. D. Klinghardt and Dr. Y. Omura, Cilantro can move heavy metals even out of the brain. Although no hard-core scientific data is presently available, these reports are very encouraging. Heavy metal poisoning is very difficult to treat, mostly unrecognized, but widely common. Many conditions related to the nervous system are directly linked to heavy metal poisoning.
In India the herb Cilantro is used to polish metal cooking ware. Obviously the herb has the ability to bond metal particles. Therefore, one should consider not eating Cilantro in restaurants that use aluminum cooking ware.
Cilantro (Chinese Parsley)
This kitchen herb is capable of mobilizing mercury, cadmium, lead and aluminum in both bones and the central nervous system. It is probably the only effective agent in mobilizing mercury stored in the intracellular space (attached to mitochondria, tubulin, liposomes etc) and in the nucleus of the cell (reversing DNA damage of mercury). Because cilantro mobilizes more toxins then it can carry out of the body, it may flood the connective tissue (where the nerves reside) with metals, that were previously stored in safer hiding places.
This process is called re-toxification. It can easily be avoided by simultaneously giving an intestinal toxin-absorbing agent. Our definite choice is the algal organism chlorella. A recent animal study demonstrated rapid removal of aluminum from the skeleton superior to any known other detox agent.
Dosage and application of cilantro tincture: give 2 drops 2 times per day in the beginning, taken just before a meal or 30 minutes after taking chlorella (cilantro causes the gallbladder to dump bile — containing the excreted neurotoxins — into the small intestine. The bile-release occurs naturally as we are eating and is much enhanced by cilantro. If no chlorella is taken, most neurotoxins are reabsorbed on the way down the small intestine by the abundant nerve endings of the enteric nervous system). Gradually increase dose to 10 drops 3 times/day for full benefit. During the initial phase of the detox cilantro should be given 1 week on, 2–3 weeks off.
Other ways of taking cilantro: rub 5 drops twice/day into ankles for mobilization of metals in all organs, joints and structures below the diaphragm, and into the wrists for organs, joints and structures above the diaphragm. The wrists have dense autonomic innervation (axonal uptake of cilantro) and are crossed by the main lymphatic channels (lymphatic uptake).
Both C. Pyreneidosa (better absorption of toxins, but harder to digest) and C. Vulgaris (higher CGF content — see below, easier to digest, less metal absorbing capability) are available. Chlorella has multiple health inducing effects:
* Antiviral (especially effective against the cytomegaly virus from the herpes family)
* Toxin Binding (mucopolysaccharide membrane) all known toxic metals, environmental toxins such as dioxin and others
* Repairs and activates the body's detoxification functions
* Dramatically increases reduced glutathion
* Sporopollein is as effective as cholestyramin in binding neurotoxins and more effective in binding toxic metals than any other natural substance found.
* Various peptides restore coeruloplasmin and metallothioneine.
* Lipids (12.4%) alpha-and gamma-linoleic acid help to balance the increased intake of fish oil during our detox program and are necessary for a multitude of functions, including formation of the peroxisomes.
* Methyl-coblolamine is food for the nervous system, restores damaged neurons and has its own detoxifying effect.
* Chlorella growth factor helps the body detoxify itself in a yet not understood profound way. It appears that over millions of years chlorella has developed specific detoxifying proteins and peptides for every existing toxic metal.
* The porphyrins in chlorophyll have their own strong metal binding effect. Chlorophyll also activates the PPAR-receptor on the nucleus of the cell which is responsible for the transcription of DNA and coding the formation of the peroxisomes (see fish oil), opening of the cell wall (unknown mechanism) which is necessary for all detox procedures, normalizes insulin resistance and much more. Medical drugs that activate the PPAR receptor (such as pioglitazone) have been effective in the treatment of breast and prostate cancer.
* Super nutrient: 50–60% amino acid content, ideal nutrient for vegetarians, methylcobolamin — the most easily absorbed and utilized form of B12, B6, minerals, chlorophyll, beta carotene etc.
* Immune system strengthening
* Restores bowel flora
* Digestive Aid (bulking agent)
* Alkalinizing agent (Important for patient's with malignancies)
Dosage: start with 1 gram ( = 4 tab.) 3–4 times/day. This is the standard maintenance dosage for grown ups for the 6–24 months of active detox. During the more active phase of the detox (every 2–4 weeks for 1 week), whenever cilantro is given, the dose can be increased to 3 grams 3–4 times per day (1 week on, 2–4 weeks back down to the maintenance dosage). Take 30 minutes before the main meals and at bedtime. This way chlorella is exactly in that portion of the small intestine where the bile squirts into the gut at the beginning of the meal, carrying with it toxic metals and other toxic waste. These are bound by the chlorella cell wall and carried out via the digestive tract.
When amalgam fillings are removed, the higher dose should be given for 2 days before and 2–5 days after the procedure (the more fillings are removed, the longer the higher dose should be given). No cilantro should be given around the time of dental work. During this time we do not want to mobilize deeply stored metals in addition to the expected new exposure.
If you take Vitamin C during your detox program, take it as far away from Chlorella as possible (best after meals).
Side effects: most side effects reflect the toxic effect of the mobilized metals, which are shuttled through the organism. This problem is instantly avoided by significantly increasing the chlorella dosage, not by reducing it, which would worsen the problem (small chlorella doses mobilize more metals than are bound in the gut, large chlorella doses bind more toxins than are mobilized). Some people have problems digesting the cell membrane of chlorella. The enzyme cellulase resolves this problem.
Cellulase is available in many health food stores in digestive enzyme products. Taking chlorella together with food also helps in some cases, even though it is less effective that way. C. Vulgaris has a thinner cell wall and is better tolerated by people with digestive problems.

Voters' Texas fatigue might hurt Perry
As presidential candidate, link to Bush would challenge him.
WASHINGTON — As Gov. Rick Perry decides whether to seek the presidency in 2012, one of the challenges he faces is to define the relationship between himself and the other Texas Republican who dominated the U.S. political stage for the first decade of the 21st century.
The potential problem for Perry isn't their shared West Texas roots. It's the Bush baggage.
George W. Bush left office as the least popular president since Richard Nixon resigned, polling showed.
The economy was in its steepest collapse since the Great Depression. And most Americans had grown tired of the nation's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the latter the longest conflict in U.S. history.
While Perry is well-known in Texas, where his 10-year record as governor stands on its own, he'll have to define himself before voters can decide whether Bush's former lieutenant governor is a chip off the Bush block or his own man.
"I don't know him well enough," said Ovide Lamontagne, a prominent New Hampshire conservative and former Republican gubernatorial nominee. "It will depend on how he presents himself. Until he gets here, it will be difficult to know."
That presentation could prove pivotal to the launch of Perry's possible presidential campaign.
"It's hard to shake loose of these things once they take hold," said Chris Edelson, a government professor at American University. "People hear these things over and over, and if you're pigeonholed in these sorts of things, it's distracting."
To former Rep. Martin Frost, a Dallas Democrat, the flashbacks begin every time Perry talks on TV: "If you close your eyes, he sounds exactly like George W. Bush," he said, "down to the inflections and the dropped 'G's.'
"I think it would be very hard for another Texas governor to be elected president right now," Frost added. "I think there's a clear case of Texas fatigue."
To University of North Carolina political scientist Thomas Carsey, the similarity starts with their political pedigrees.
"As conservative governors of Texas, they come from a similar political background," he said. "It obviously connects them in people's minds."
Stephen Colbert, Comedy Central's faux conservative commentator, summed it up: "This man needs to be president. We haven't had a Texas governor in the White House for almost three years."
Democrats will do their best to brand Perry, who became governor when Bush left Texas for Washington, with a scarlet "B."
"Being seen as the protégé of the worst president in history cannot be advantageous for Perry," said Democratic consultant Paul Begala, a native Texan. "The problem is more about Bush than about Texas per se."
Partisan wishful thinking aside, are American voters ready for another Texas Republican as president after two Bushes?
"Probably not," said Rice University political scientist Robert Stein, "but Rick Perry will work hard to avoid being a presidential candidate from Texas. His moniker will be a presidential candidate who is not from Washington, D.C. — and a governor who created jobs and avoided the spending excesses of Washington."
Perry strategists are convinced the governor's home address won't affect his electability.
"Do I think America is searching for a leader with the record, experience and vision to restore her to economic greatness and provide an environment so the private sector can put America back to work regardless of (the candidate's) ZIP code?" asked senior Perry adviser David Carney. "Put me down as 'yes.' "
As Perry talks to GOP leaders across the country, he isn't encountering any resistance based on his home state, Carney said.
"I don't think it's fair for anybody to make a comparison," said Judy Davidson, chairwoman of Iowa's Scott County Republican Central Committee. "(Candidates) should earn their vote based on their individual identity."
That's Perry's hope, too. But again, are Americans ready for another Texas governor in the White House?
"Not really," said Sean Theriault, a political science professor at the University of Texas. "But, quite frankly, I'm not sure they were ready for an African American in 2008, and look what happened."

White History Month
White History Month is the unofficial name of each of the twelve months of the year. As everybody in the civilized world knows, World History would be nowhere without White History, and so each month is slavishly devoted to the subject (albeit unofficially - those p.c. bastards would never let something like that fly in official circles). Furthermore, each month has its own motif (that's fancy white-person talk for "theme"). Common White people pay their bills right on time, give handshakes instead of high fives, buy things with money because they don't steal like gorilla looking black niggers, eat fish and chips for dinner, clapping in the end of a movie, despise foul language, and are intelligent. Read on to learn more:
In the northern hemisphere at least, this month is the whitest month due to mid-winter snows and thus receives recognition as the principal month in the panoply (another fancy white-person word) of White History Months. The month takes its name from the Roman God Janus, god of doorways and beginnings. Like white people, he is two-faced. Every year in history begins with January, so it is certainly the best place to start when talking about White History Month.
There are a variety of white-people holidays in January. These include the following:
- Handsel Monday in Scotland and northern England – First Monday.
- Russian and Ukrainian Christmas Eve – January 6 (It was illegal during the Soviet era.)
- Plough Sunday in Scotland and northern England – Sunday after January 6 (like, 13).
- Australia Day in Australia - January 26 (Summer time down under).
- Burns night in Scotland – January 25 (Winter time gets warmer).
- The uniting of Moldavia and Wallachia under the same ruler in 1859, Romania – January 24 (old calendar?)
Note: This month was almost disqualified from inclusion within the list of unofficial White History Months because it includes the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr..
Many famous white people did famous things during the month of February (as with every month). February usually has only 28 days, but every four years there is a "leap year," with a February 29th. This is symbolic of the 15th Century, when white people literally leaped ahead of all other races on the stage of World History, single-handedly discovering America, inventing gunpowder, developing calculus, and a host of other achievements.
There are a number of white-people holidays in February, including the following:
- St. Brigid's Day: February 1, Ireland - except for Protestants.
- Groundhog Day: February 2, United States and Canada (a very WHITE Middle American thing).
- George Washington's birthday: February 22, United States (sorry APE Lincoln, you shouldn't free them slaves).
- Leap Day: February 29 (Every four years, with some exceptions) - except for Jews.
Perhaps the most famous white man of all, Julius Caesar, was killed during the Ides of this month. World leaders of white nations bore his namesake for centuries, such as the Czars of Russia and the Kaisers of Germany. The Ancient Greek and Roman god of the month was also the god of war - something white people really excel at. It was white people, after all, who invented the atomic bomb.
March contains many white-people holidays and events. These include:
- Texas Independence Day, March 2 (The Yellow Rose of Texas, was raped by a Mexican Negro, you see...)
- White Day, March 14 (ironically, Asia) - the Aryan homeland of WHITE EUROS is in...India.
- The Ides of March, the anniversary of the assassination of Julius Caesar by Brutus & Co., March 15.
- Saint Patrick's Day, March 17 (Irish joke day, to see how Irish are you, Fsck all' de' Irish).
- Celebration of the Greek War of Independence, March 25 (Greeks hunt Turk-eys on a traditional way).
- The Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary, March 25 or 31, somewhere in between (Yeah, she done it).
This month contains tax day in the USA, which makes people white as a sheet by both bleeding them dry and scaring the living daylights out of them year after year.
White-people holidays in April include the following:
- April Fools' Day – April 1 (the ultimate white-people holiday).
- Easter (for White Racist anti-Semites, Kill the Christ Killer day).
- Tax Day (US) – April 15 (Jewish revenge for Passover hate crimes).
- St George's Day Patron Saint Celebration (England, Europe) – April 23.
- ANZAC Day (Australia and New Zealand) – April 25 (what does "AC" stand for? Oh yeah, Asians and Coloureds welcome).
- The L.A. Riots Anniversary - April 30. Racial harmony gathering day. (see May 1st).
This month is only middling on the whiteness scale, what with green spring being in full bloom and a lack of notable white achievements. All the more reason to jar people into remembering the whites for all 31 days of the month.
Examples of white-people holidays in May include:
- May 3 is when the Polish Constitution Day is celebrated in Poland.
- The first Saturday in May is the date of the annual Kentucky Derby, the most famous horse race in the United States.
- May 4 is the day of Remembrance of the Dead in the Netherlands, commemorating all the casualties in military conflicts involving the Netherlands.
- May 4 is Liberation Day in Denmark, celebrating the ending of the German occupation from April 9, 1940, to May 4, 1945.
- May 5 is Liberation Day in the Netherlands, celebrating the ending of the German occupation.
- May 9 is Europe Day in the European Union (Post-WW2 Europe socialist Liberal pacifist gathering day).
- The Indianapolis 500 is held on the Sunday before Memorial Day.
Some really white things happened during this month; however, they are too horrible and politically incorrect to mention even on Uncyclopedia. Ok, Father's Day. Although Father's Day causes mass confusion with the black population as is proven by the " Who's the Baby Daddy DNA Test" billboards strewn across cities largely populated by blacks.
This month is pretty white. It's named after the white Roman leader Julius Caesar. And it contains July the Fourth, the day the Founding Fathers of the United States (all of them white) signed their Declaration of Independence from white Great Britain, the reigning world power before the United States took the helm. It doesn't get much whiter.
There are a variety of white-people holidays in July. These include the following:
- Canada Day (formerly Dominion Day), July 1.
- Civil Rights Day, July 2. (Another White Liberal gathering day of Rastafarian Wigger Rapper wannabes).
- Independence Day in Belarus, July 3 (where Israel plans to return someday).
- Independence Day in the United States of America, July 4 (USA! Stars and Bars flag waving, Bible thumping, Redneck-White skin-Blue collar Pride).
- Battle of the Boyne and Orangemen's Day in Northern Ireland, July 12 (No brothers wars, huh? I thought the Irish aren't white).
- Bastille Day, July 14 (VIVE LE FRANCE, also said not to be white).
- Independence Day in Belgium, July 21 (they hate each other, ppfftt the Dutch).
- Foundation Day in Cleveland, July 22 (NO BLACKS ALLOWED).
- Pioneer Day in Utah, July 24 (Mormons: the other White Religion).
- Foundation Day in Baltimore, July 30 (Also No Black people).
It should be remembered that WHITE america beat the BLACK-shirt nazis on the WHITE beaches of normandy on June 6th. Adolf Hitler had a great sense of humour. He made his top troops dress in BLACK and made them call themselves BROWN-SHIRTS.
Well, maybe it does get whiter. August is named after the first Roman Emperor, Augustus Caesar. He was the white emperor of the largest white empire ever to grace the Earth until the advent of the British Empire many centuries later. The Romans enslaved all kinds of people, both white and non-white.
There are a number of white-people holidays in August. These include the following:
- August 1, Yorkshire Day.
- August 1, Swiss National Day, a public holiday in Switzerland.
- August 15, 1945, Emperor Hirohito declares Japan's unconditional surrender officially ending the Second World War.
- August 20, 1991, Estonia regains its independence, formally leaving the Soviet Union which had annexed it back in World War II.
Okay, the best here to say is that "Sept" is a Latin prefix for "seven," as in this used to be the seventh month of the year under the Roman calendar. The Romans were white, so that counts.
Nevertheless, there are a few white-people holidays in September. These include the following:
- German American Heritage Month begins on September 15 in the United States.
- In Australia, Father's Day is celebrated on the first Sunday of September.
- In Australia, the Rugby League Grand Final is played on the last Sunday of September.
- In Australia, the AFL Grand Final is played on the last Saturday of September.
- California Admission Day to commemorate the admission of California into the Union is September 9.
Note: California was once settled by Brown-skinned Spanish-speaking mestizo half-Indians known as... Hhhmmm, Californios? Hispanos? Mexicanos? Latinos? Chicanos? La Raza? Hispanics? or Americanos? That's a tough one, but are Spanish people white in some way? Oh well, we wanted cheap illegal labor.
- Chile, Argentina and Uruguay Independence Days on September 16, 18 and 19 respectively.
Things seem to be getting worse for White History at first glance. Colors are changing in the fall (northern hemisphere) to yellows, browns, and reds. No white to be found. But wait - Columbus discovered America in October, so that redeems the month from a white history perspective.
There are a variety of white-people holidays in October. These include the following:
- German Unity Day (Germany) – October 3 (OKTOBERFEST! Ossie Stasis meet Vest Nazis.)
- Proclamation of Portuguese Republic (Portugal) – October 5 (wait, are them Brazilians white?)
- Leif Erikson Day - October 9 (Scandinavian-Canadian holiday, NON FRANCAIS SIL VOUS PLAIT).
- National Day of Spain – October 12 (Discovery of America), NOT WOP, er, Italian-American day.
- Thanksgiving (Canada) – Second Monday of October (Canadians, they play football in July).
- Columbus Day (Most of United States) – Second Monday of October, GUINEE, er Sicilian day.
- Alaska Day - October 18 (White as ice and snow, not like Hawaii, 90% non-white people).
- Remembering the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 – October 23 (Huns are our Asiatic friends).
- Day of the Romanian Army – October 25 (Roman heritage, sorry Greeks).
- National Day of Austria - October 26 (Nope. not the Swiss).
- Navy Day (United States) – October 27 (In the NAVY, Y, Y-M-C-A, Macho, Macho MEN).
- Halloween, Samhain – October 31 (Whitest Kids U Know are out there causing pranks).
Things are improving for white history. The Pilgrims (white settlers) gave thanks for their mastery over the red savages in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in America in November, and it sometimes is cold enough for snow during the month (again, this is applicable to the northern hemisphere).
There are a variety of white-people holidays in November. These include the following:
- In Ireland, November 1 is regarded as the first day of Winter.
- November 1 is called November Day (Lá Samhna) in Celtic tradition and is thus named in the Irish Calendar, where the month is called Mí na Samhna.
- Britain and New Zealand celebrate Guy Fawkes Night, the anniversary of the failed Gunpowder Plot, on November 5.
- November 10 is the birthday of the United States Marine Corps.
- Independence Day in Poland on November 11.
- Remembrance Day is celebrated on November 11 in the Commonwealth of Nations and various European countries (including France and Belgium) to commemorate World War I and other wars. It is known as Veterans' Day in the United States.
- Discovery to the Eastern World of Puerto Rico by Christopher Columbus on November 19, 1493.
- Scotland celebrates St. Andrews Day, its official national day, on 30 November. Since 2006 it has been an official bank holiday.
- The United States observes Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday in November.
Ah, back to white. Snow has returned with winter and Father Christmas/Santa Claus, a white man, is on the prowl with his long white beard, at least in white countries.
say Ꮂ? - The First Indigenous Native American Indian responds, like any minority person would, in reaction to White History Month.
There are a variety of white-people holidays in December. These include the following:
- Union Day of Romania (1 December) - Bulgaria included, I think or Macedonia, or was it Moldova?
- Sinterklaas in the Netherlands (December 5) - Black Elf not included.
- Independence Day in Finland (December 6) - From them Russians or Swedes, I forgot.
- Constitution Day in Spain (December 6) - They legalized the Basque language, the original White race.
- Saint Nicholas Day in Greece (December 6) - When Muslims were taken down.
- Constitution Day in Romania (December 8) - When Commies were taken down.
- Bill of Rights Day (United States) (December 15) - The Freedom of Religion, the right to bear Arms and 8 other amendments we forgot.
- Christmas Day (December 25). - JESUS IS WHITE LIKE GOD.
- Boxing Day (December 26) - observed everywhere else that's British.
Not solar, can fall in anytime.[edit]
- Adolf Hitler's Birthday.
- Confederacy Day.
- May Day - NOT the Left-wing kind.
- Odinismas.
- Zuid-Afrikaaners Day.
