The two socketsjl a in each base junction-box and the two soekets 8a: in each upper junctionbox serve to receive the ends of those tubes which form the Web braces ll (Figure 1) of the girders while the two additional sockets 8b in the upper boxes may serve to receive the lowerends of. a
further series of tubes forming upwardly execonomical manner.
The individual tubes are connected to theirrespective junction-boxes by means of a loose pin joint which includes a nut l2 (Figure 10) threaded on tothe tube end .andadapted topress against a bearing surface l4 (Figuresyfivandfi) our the. junction-box: to take up the back-lash when the nut is tightened. For this purposethere isfitted toeach end ofieach tube atongue element 55 having an externally-screw-threaded end portion 56, whiclris-secured within the end ofthe tube by being engaged w-ithan internally screw-threadedportion I3- thereof: and. which tongue is'provided with a-transverse-slot l belongated: in the direction oi the longitudinal axis of the tube, Eachend portionof the-tube containing the interior screw -threadedportion is also screwthreaded1 on! the outside to receive thereon the nut iZiandalOosepin: I ia isiprovided for use in association with each joint. Each socket in the junction-boxes is larger-than the tongue so that the. latter can readily be positioned therein andwhen thiswhas been ac,- complishedsuch that theyslot; inthe tongue is disposed opposite openings l 8 in the. wallssof: the socket (which openings. are also. larger. than: the pin) thejoint pin llae isjplaced-in positionsoas to extend transversely; through the slot; The final joint is made by tightening'gthe nutiso that tlze slaclrness of the pin,- due to the. elongated slot in the tongue and the enlarged openingsin the junction-box, is taken; up and the; tube :I is fixed in position as.- well-as being fixedxrigidly in its correct. direction relatively to the1junctiont is intendedthat the bridge should be con structed on landin skeleton formiby. apair'. of tubular girders as above described being assembledand secured-to the transverse joists or tran somswhich serve to receive the floor of the bridge and that when this-skeleton'bridge,that is the bridge consisting ofthe main or outside girders land: the transoms; 6' as illustrated in Figures 1 and 4, has been launched across the span to bebridged if, further strength is required shall beprovidediby-one or. more addi tionalrgirders- 2% being built-up in situ alongside the preformed girders of theskeleton bridge; each additional girder being also composed: of similar tubesand junction-boxessimilar to those already described. In this way the important advantage. m obtainedthat thefinal'bridge may be made to .withstand.heavy; loads without, however, the need for increasing the launching weight. The bridge as illustrated in Figure 1 is of double-tube formation whereas the bridge according to Figure 4 is triple-tubed and as the 5 upper and lower junction-boxes are similar throughout these have been given the same references.
The junction-boxes providd to form thebase junction-boxes of 'the tubes of the girders to be built up in situ alongside the main girders are, however, of modified construction and permit of these boxes being placed loosely upon their supporting joists or transoms 6 and secured thereto during the construction of the supplementary i5girder'or1after the same has been completed.
This is achieved by each such box being provided with a pair of laterally spaced bolts l9 pivoted to the, base of the box so as to depend therefrom and adapted to pass through openings at the ends of a transverse stirrup plate 2! passed beneaththe base of the joist or transomsothat the bolts lie upon. opposite sides of the latter, the-free ends of: the bolts being screw-threaded to receivesecuring nuts22 for pulling the box 5 hard downagainst the top flange 2010f the ioist.
Conveniently the said openingsmay consist of a bore 23. through which the corresponding bolt is introduced as the box islowered intovposition upon the joist and an open-ended slot-.24 into which the other bolt can-be moved by angular movement thereof, the arrangement permitting of a fastening ofthe box by the securingof the nuts on the bolt which ispassed through the said bore (there being two nuts consisting of the one 22 secured upon thebolt beneath. the said stirrup plate and a lock nut 25: secured. upon the bolt above the stirrup plate,;the-latter;'beln8 drawn into close contact-with the base of the joist whenthe'nuts are tightened) and of-a final 40 securing of the box in positionby theother bolt being secured within. the slot in the plate. The arrangement. enables two, three ortevenmore girders to be built up insitu alongside-each main girder to providesuch increased carrying ca pacity as may. be required'while'thecomplete elasticityof the system permits of the strengthen.- ing of the main girders to be carriedout to. a varying extent lengthwise thereof by, for-example, each girder being made of double-tube form in the end portions thereof. and of. triple-tube form in the centre portion. r
The base junction-boxes employed for the main and the supplementary girders are-identical ex.- cept for the provision of the bolts I9.and associated parts for the junction-boxes of the supplementary, girders, and accordingly. Figure is relied upon as illustrating both the base junctionbox employed for the main girders and alsofor the supplementary girders. This enables a uniform construction of all the base junction-boxes to be adopted since, when required .for useto form a supplementary girder, it is only necessary pp y the bolts l9 to the'lugs 26 (Figure 4) ghich depend from the base of each-junction- Conical bosses 28a may beprov'ided on the stlr rup plates at the slotted ends thereof for engagement with conical recesses in thenuts to prevent the bolts engaged with'the slotsfrom escaping therefrom when the nuts are tightened;
Since the addedgirders are identical inform to the girders originallyerected, when the lower junction-boxes are pulledv down-bythe bolts and stirrup plates to make close contact with the transoms, the deflections of the girders thus axes of the tubes at their ends are constrained to lie at right angles to the axes of the bolts coupling together adjacent upper and lower junction-boxes and has the effect of greatly increasing the lateral stiffness of the girder when doubleor triple-tubed.
A suitable form of through bolt is illustrated in Figures 11 and 12 wherein the bolt 28 is formed to pass through the central openings 29 in the base junction-boxes and through openings 29a in the upper boxes 4 and has screw-threaded ends 30 which project beyond the outer faces of the junction-boxes and serve to receive the nuts 3| which are tightened upon these faces and to force adjacent junction boxes to register coaxially tapered bosses 32 are provided.
The through bolt illustrated in Figure 11 is suitable for application to a two-tube girder as illustrated in Figure 1 and has secured thereto a plug 33 having a tapered end 34 and opposite end portion 35 Which is adapted to enter openings 29 or 29a of the junction boxes to align said boxes as the nuts 3| are tightened.
The through bolt illustrated in Figure 12 is suitable for application to a three-tube girder as illustrated in Figure 4 and the through bolt in this case is provided with two plugs 33a slidable upon the bolt and provided with coaxial sleeves 31 which, at their outer end, are engaged by the nuts 31 when the latter are tightened upon the bolt and the correct location of which upon the bolt is ensured by the presence of the flanges 38 upon the latter whereby as the nuts are tightened, the tapered ends 34a of the plugs will firmly engage within the central opening 29 or 29a of the central junction-box while the outer junction-boxes will be aligned by the base portions 35a of the plugs fitting in openings 29 or 29a.
The overall diameter of the plugs is such as will permit the bolt and the plugs to be passed freely through the openings 29 of the junctionboxes to be tied thereby after which the nuts 3! are secured in position upon the bolt and tightened to complete the tie.
To provide additional lateral rigidity or strength the transversely adjacent tubes of the main and supplementary girders may be connected together by plates 39 (Figures 2 and 3) secured transversely across the tubes intermediate the ends thereof. These plates are'ccnvenientlyof skeleton and channel form and are secured one upon opposite sides of the tubes so that the channels thereof face inwards and partly embrace the tubes of the flanges by forming the. channels with recesses to receive the tubes, the attachment of the pairs of plates to the various tubes being effected by bolts 40 passed through openings in the plates so as to extend in the direction of the girders and to which bolts securing 7 nuts 4| are applied at the end portions thereof.
Figures 13 to 17 illustrate a modified form of base junction-box suitable for use when an inclined approach to a bridge is required in which case the end base junction-boxes of each girder are of this modified form and each comprise a fixed female part 41 and a male part 48 which is pivotally mounted upon the fixed part so as to be capable of being swung outwards with respect to the latter according to the inclination required. In such case the upper booms of the girders will be discontinued between the bridge proper and the inclined gangway. The male junction part is formed with a fork in the form of a pair of spaced lugs 49 adapted to be introduced into a bearing block 50 on the female part so as to be positioned between two axially spaced ring plates 5| therein and formed with central openings 52 for receiving a pivot pin or plug.

Cape Region gun sales boomingNewtown shooting does not deter purchases
The use of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., has sparked calls for a ban. But in the Cape Region, the gun business has been booming.
Charles Steele, owner of Steele's Gun Shop on Route 9 in Lewes, said gun sales have soared since President Barack Obama was reelected. He said customers are afraid Obama will place restrictions on firearms, preventing people from purchasing guns.
"It's been high for the last four years," he said. "The day after the election, we were swamped."
Steele's sells assault rifles and high-capacity magazines, which Steele said account for three-quarters of his business. Customers range across the spectrum of society – older men, younger men and women, he said, purchasing guns for different reasons: some for collecting, others for target shooting. Steele said high-capacity magazines enable shooters to fire at a target repeatedly without reloading. Shooters shoot at gun ranges and at private shooting clubs, he said.
After the Newtown massacre, customers were lined up out the door over the weekend, Steele said, a reaction to lower prices and new calls for increased gun legislation. He said he did not know exactly how many guns were sold this year or over the weekend.
Steele said his shop conducts background checks on prospective gun purchasers. He said even if high-capacity magazines and assault weapons are banned, gun purchasers will simply gravitate towards something else, such as shotguns.
"If someone wants to do harm, you're not going to stop them. Society has a problem. It's not the guns," he said.
He said when he was younger, people hunted and carried guns all the time but never thought about killing someone.
"This is all new," Steele said.

This year my 5-year-old daughter asked for an American Girl doll for Christmas. After some hesitation, I bought her one.
My hesitation was based on her age and the price of the doll. These dolls are lovely but at $105 they are also quite expensive. They are, in fact, recommended for age eight and older. At five, I'm not sure my daughter is really old enough to take care of an expensive toy. I fear that by December 28 it might end up naked and tossed into a pile of other toys.
Target has a similar 18" doll from their Our Generation line on sale for $24.
Now I'm wondering if I should have bought the less expensive knock-off version. Would she know the difference?
I suspect that most kids would know the difference, but does it matter? I remember when I was a child and Cabbage Patch dolls were popular. We could usually tell which dolls were the "real" Cabbage Patch dolls. But once again, does it matter?
My mother was actually the one who advised me to buy my daughter the doll she asked for. As a child in the early 1960s, my mother asked for a Barbie doll for Christmas and received a generic version without poseable limbs. She still remembers her disappointment.
What do you think? When your child wants a popular name-brand toy do you buy that or a less expensive version?

text: Sodium, found adequately in the American diet. But we need more on hot days and longer rides...how much more? What kinds of numbers should I be looking at? Potassium is a key electrolyte for riding, also...how much should I be looking at intaking? Is there a range? Some sports drinks have like 50 mg (~2% DV) and some bars have 3-400, which says it's around 10-12% of your daily value...huge difference. Why is there such a seemingly insignificant amount in sports products? What other electrolytes should I be concerned about taking on longer rides? Calcium, magnesium, vitamin C? How long of a ride should I start even taking electrolytes? (Surely I don't need them during an hour long ride). Final conundrum, can anybody explain to me why raisins are loaded with potassium but grape juice shows none? ::Jerry Seinfeld voice::...whaaaaaaat's the deeeaaal?

Wrigley had the bright idea to pay Chris "Bubblegum" Brown to put out a pop song that was actually a Wrigley commercial—but without telling anyone it was a Wrigley commercial. The public ate it up! It went huge on pop charts! Proving that people who drive chart sales have no taste, and Wrigley has no ethics.
We issued a (futile) call for a Wrigley boycott but then it turned out Chris Brown was a terrible woman-beater so I guess karma took care of it all for us. The moral of the story is Chris Brown sucks and Doublemint tastes like old rubber bands.

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer Now.
Hi - my name is XXXXX XXXXX I'm a Bankruptcy litigation attorney here to assist you.
You can try to settle the debt with the lender and work out some type of payment plan that you can afford. However, there is virtually no way to have the debt discharged in bankruptcy or otherwise.
The only way to discharge student loans is if you can prove a financial hardship. This is very hard to prove, but if you can show that your financial situation is dire and you can't afford basic living expenses if you're required to pay, and if you can show that you can't work and that's not going to change in the future (due to health issues), it is possible to discharge all or part of your student loans. Here's a good article you should read: http://bankruptcy.lawyers.com/consumer-bankruptcy/Student-Loans-In-Bankruptcy.html
If you can't qualify for a discharge of the student loans in bankruptcy, the only way to get rid of them is to pay them off. Hopefully you can get the lender to negotiate with you and settle this dent without being sued and having a judgment entered against you.

Oh, I thought the new Motherlode piece was great!
I've been following your blog here ever since I read your first piece for Motherlode. I enjoy seeing the pictures, of course, but I would really love to have more of the *story* ... more narrative about the experience and more insight into what you and Rosemary and your whole family are thinking/feeling/etc.
I am considering international adoption (though I don't qualify for China), and I want to study every piece of insight and experience and advice that I can find as I work on making my decision.
Hope you all have a very happy 2010!

I saw your blog entry on motherlode via the nyc times. small world, I actually live in Houston as well. An extended family member of mine also adopted a little girl from china, and she is in second grade now :)
I commend you and your family for the awesome commitment you have made to your children as well as the world. I think there is nothing better in this world than someone opening up their hearts, family and home to a child. I have a blog also, and if you ever want to check out mine, here is the link

According to a complaint filed by police, officers seized about 1,000 pounds of marijuana in the car.
Investigators said they trailed two people driving a minivan away from a warehouse on the south side.
They arrested the two men inside, Hector Martinez and Luis Miranda for possessing the drugs, Elias reported.
Police said they found at least 1,000 more pounds of the drug at a house on Carbondale Drive on the city's east side, as well as at least $1 million in cash, Elias reported.
Police said Arnaldo Miranda, the brother of one of the two arrested in the minivan, was carrying the cash.
The drugs had an estimated street value of $3 million, according to the narcotics division of police.

Acting Commander with the narcotics bureau, Gary Cameron.
The men face charges of marijuana possession and additional charges could be filed.

Ralph Fiennes has pretty much done it all. Two-time Oscar nominee for "Schindler's List" and "The English Patient" has taken his skills into tentpole films, notably as Lord Voldemort in the "Harry Potter" franchise and less respectably as Hades in "Clash Of The Titans." He's done comedy ("In Bruges"), family films ("Nanny McPhee") and worked with a staggering array of top shelf directors including Steven Spielberg, David Cronenberg, Kathryn Bigelow, Stephen Daldry, Fernando Meirelles, Neil Jordan, Anthony Minghella and Robert Redford (which reminds us, "Quiz Show" desperately needs a proper DVD/BluRay release). Hell, he's even set to make his name as a director as his feature debut "Coriolanus" is earning strong buzz in advance of its fall release. With a couple of decades in the biz under his belt, Fiennes has tried his hand at nearly everything, but it looks like he's ready to take another stab at a Russian classic.
Screen Daily reports that Fiennes is in talks to star in an adaptation of Ivan Turgenev's 1872 play "A Month In The Country." Fiennes is no stranger to Russian literature, having played Evgeny Onegin in his sister Martha Fiennes' film "Onegin" which was based on Alexander Pushkin's novel in 1999. This time around, he's eyeing the part of Mikhail Aleksandrovich Rakitin, a suitor to Natalya Petrovna who is married to the older rich landowner, Arkadi Sergeyevich Islayev. The kicker here is that Fiennes may learn Russian to play the role in the film that is set to be directed by Vera Glagoleva.
The project is still in very early stages, with producer Natalia Ivanova of Horosho Production still pulling together financing. But if Fiennes signs on, it would certainly go a long way in securing funds for the movie. The adaptation will be the first done for the big screen after a handful of productions that have been done over the years for television. We'll have to wait and see how this develops but there is plenty of Fiennes on the way. He'll reprise Lord Voldemort for the last time in this weekend's "Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2" and "Coriolanus" hits on December 2nd. And if that's not enough, this fall he'll team up with another acclaimed director, Sam Mendes, for "Bond 23."

Grammar Help
Unfortunately for many of us, rigorous grammar exercises and diagramming sentences have fallen into disuse in many educational institutions across this country. Consequently, many of us struggle with where to put our commas and semicolons as well as apostrophes and question marks. However, knowing how to punctuate your writing correctly is important. Your writing represents you to countless readers of memos, emails, faxes, and reports, to name only a few. Faulty construction and misplaced or nonexistent punctuation tells your reader that you are either careless or ignorant of the rules of grammar.
The best place to correct your mistakes comes in the handy form of the Prentice Hall Handbook For Writers. The index often provides the quickest route to the problem. Once you know, for example, that you are a "comma splicer" then you can do the exercises in the handbook to overcome this barrier.
Guide to Grammar and Writing is an online aid for correct grammar and punctuation use. Here you can take quizzes (without penalty!) to ascertain your level of comfort from sentence-level grammar to dangling modifiers. This link also provides exercises for those of us who are "grammatically challenged" to access more information online about grammar and punctuation use.

Mayor Rawlings-Blake Won't Sign Local Hiring Bill
A city council bill to mandate the hiring of Baltimore residents appears poised to take effect June 24. The measure, sponsored by City Council President Bernard C. "Jack" Young, will require contractors with $300,000 in city contracts or $5 million in city subsidies to hire Baltimore residents for 51 percent of all new jobs.
Facing a city government legal department ruling that the measure would violate the U.S. Constitition, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has been silent about enacting the measure. According to Young spokesman Lester Davis, the mayor will neither sign nor veto the bill, which cleared the council June 3.
As a result, the bill takes effect, said Young, "three city council meetings after it is approved, even without the mayor's signature."
After the city council approved the local hiring bill on June 3, Young released a statement that he is pleased that his colleagues decided to put the needs of the Baltimore's "unemployed" and "underemployed" residents first.
"Tonight's passage of this landmark bill represents a renewed sense of hope for the countless families who continue to struggle to pay for basic necessities," said Young in a statement. "I look forward to working with Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake on the law's implementation."
The bill sparked controversy in January when the Baltimore City Law Department issued a statement questioning the constitutionality of the bill, stating it violated the Privileges and Immunities Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
The clause bars government policy that directs or encourages preferences based on residency in a city and states that discrimination against workers based on residence would only survive scrutiny if the court found that non-residents were the cause of the local unemployment rate.
Baltimore City Solicitor George Nilson said there are other mandates the city could propose that would be effective in promoting citywide employment within the scope of the constitution. He said he proposed a preference in favor of lower income employees or people at or below the poverty line.
Minority contractors associations also raised questions on how subcontractors would be affected by the legislation since small businesses often bid for subcontracts often based on their ability to ramp up their workforce. If they are also subject to the local hiring bill, they may not be able to compete for those contracts.
According to a provision in the bill, which was insisted upon by the Rawlings-Blake, the measure will not go into effect until six months after it is initiated.
Brian Freeman, communications director for the Mayor's Office of Employment Development (MOED), said the six-month provision gives the city time to create the forms needed to implement the bill.

Your period can be a pain—literally. In addition to the hassle of a monthly cycle, you may have to deal with a lot of other things that come with it: PMS, cramps, bloating, headaches, backaches, and tender breasts. There are many ways that you can lessen or get rid of these "extras" and come up with a period pain remedy.
What you eat around your period can have an impact on it. Fatty foods and refined sugar can contribute to PMS, especially if you're overweight. Caffeine can worsen the symptoms. Salt can affect water retention levels.
Eating a well-balanced diet is important, particularly during your period. For PMS and bloating cut back on refined sugar, salt, and caffeine. Eat more fruits, vegetables, cereals, and whole grains. Also, try to drink 6–8 glasses of water each day. In addition to making you feel better, eating well will also improve your overall health.
Vitamins and Minerals
Enhancing your diet with some additional nutrients can help during your period with your period pain remedy. Getting more calcium and zinc may help reduce cramps and PMS. Iron can reduce the chance of anemia (not enough iron in the blood). Vitamins C and E may help relieve breast swelling. B-complex vitamins may ease water retention and PMS.
If you decide to use vitamins to deal with period discomfort, talk to a doctor or nutritionist first. They can help you choose the right vitamin combination and dosage, and avoid side effects.
You're in pain clutching a pillow to your stomach. The last thing in the world you want to do is move—but exercise will help as a period pain remedy. Exercise will increase blood and oxygen circulation, helping cramps. It will help reduce PMS and stress, easing headaches and backaches. Exercise, especially aerobic exercise when you sweat, will help you cut down on bloating. The added benefit is that your body will also look better if you exercise, especially if you do it all month.
Over-the-counter drugs like ibuprofen and acetaminophen can relieve headaches, backaches, and cramping. There are also other over-the-counter drugs that are specifically made for lessening a number of period problems. Don't take diuretics to relieve bloating. They can cause dehydration and strip your body of essential minerals making your symptoms worse.
Oral Contraceptives can improve periods by making them lighter and more regular. They can ease cramps and PMS, but they require a prescription. For extreme cases of PMS, consult with your health care professional.

Police say 17-year-old Dennis Gibbons was trying to break into the Prestige Cleaners Sunday night on Waverly in Lansing when he got trapped in a furnace vent. His body was found Tuesday by a furnace repairman.
Family members say they thought the teen was getting his life back together after getting in trouble with the law for previous roof break-ins. They say the drop-out had planned to return to school this week. Instead, he made a horrible decision that cost him his life.
"I want people to know, even though he made mistakes, and at times hurt people, he really was a good kid," says his uncle, Mark Gibbons. He says he hopes other troubled teens learn from this tragedy, and ask for help if they are in trouble with the wrong crowd.
Meanwhile police are investigating whether Dennis Gibbons had any involvement in other recent break-ins. Plus, they say it is possible others were involved in the robberies. They're asking anyone who can help them with the investigation to call police.

CNN's Don Lemon Finally Admits the Truth about the Media and Barack Obama, "As a Journalist, You Weigh How Much You Should Criticize the President Because He's Black."
WOW, finally some truth from the liberal MSM admitting there is a bias for Barack Obama.
CNN's Don Lemon admitted that "as a journalist, you weigh how much you should criticize the president because he's black." Really, the color of one's skin determines whether you should criticize Barack Obama, or not? It's not bad or failed policy? So by the converse, it id AOK to criticize a white president? Lemon went on to say, "then you have to do it, because you are a journalist." Um, since when have the journalist of America truly criticized Barack Obama? Am I missing something? Never has a president got more of a pass from the media ever. Had Obama been criticized and vetted as a candidate by the media, he would never have been elected president. But the MSM was all too consumed with have a black man elected. Had the MSM criticized and thoroughly reported on the failures and scandals from Obama's first term like the economy, disastrous job growth, out of control debt and the truth of Obamacare, he would never have been reelected in 2012. However, they were more concerned with no criticizing a black man.
Wasn't it Martin Luther King Jr. who said, "I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." So how come the media can't seem to abide by the words of MLK?
Just a heads up, how do you think the MSM is going to cover Hillary Clinton, the potential first female president? I think we already know the answer.
"As a journalist, you weigh how much you should criticize the president because he's black."
Transcript from Real Clear Politics:
DON LEMON: But, Jake, he is the African-American president. He's an African-American president. He's a president of all people but, again, he has a responsibility as president to help everyone but he is a black man.
And as I said, he understands the issues that we as African-Americans face more than any other president that we have had. You know, we used to call Bill Clinton the first black president, but I mean, in reality, we know that — we know that was just sort of fun.
But, yes, I think he has more of a freedom. And his — listen, in his first term he didn't do that much about, you know, gay rights, about gay marriage, whatever, and it started happening in the second term. I said in the beginning that that issue would be a second term issue.
He had to prove himself in the beginning. He had probably more criticism than most presidents because when you are the first of anything, there is a bigger responsibility put on you. He's a spectacle in a way.
Everyone is being looking to hit him and everyone is looking to punch him, and I understand that, and as a journalist you weigh how much you should criticize the president, because he's black, what have you, but then you have to do it because ultimately you're a journalist. Journalists have to, black people have to, white people, Hispanic. We all must hold him to this because, as he said, it is an issue for the country, not just for one demographic.
EXIT QUESTION: President Barack Obama has proved himself? Really? Proved himself to be what, a socialist, authoritarian, imperial president hell-bent on destroying the United States and shredding the US Constitution?

"Piers Morgan Live" Soon to be Piers Morgan Canceled … CNN Gives Low Ratings Show the Axe … Get Ready for his Kicking & Screaming
CNN is giving 'Piers Morgan Live' given the boot … Piers Morgan, Not-So Live.
As reported at The Politico, CNN is canceling Piers Morgan's low rated 9pm show. The 3 year experience to replace Larry King Live has crashed and burned badly with a prime time show that got consistently low ratings. CNN stated that the show could end as early as next month. It probably could not happen soon enough as "Piers Morgan Live" is simply unwatchable. So who will be next up for CNN to take on Megyn Kelly on Fox News and Rachel Maddow at MSNBC at 9PM? Some seem to think Bill Weir. All we know for now is that Piers Morgan is out … good riddance to bad rubbish!
The below video is exhibit 1 of the reason why Piers Morgan's show has been canceled. Guests Dana Loesch and Scottie Hughes own Morgan in the gun debate so much so at the very end the CNN host winds up in a snit … "It makes me sick". Actually Piers, your show made many more sick and the reason why no one watched it0 One last thing … Bu-bye!!!
CNN President Jeff Zucker has decided to bring an end to Piers Morgan's low-rated primetime show, network sources told POLITICO on Sunday. "Piers Morgan Live" could end as early as next month, though Morgan may stay with the network in another role.
Morgan, a former British tabloid editor, replaced Larry King in the 9 p.m. hour three years ago, prior to Zucker's tenure as president. His show earned consistently low ratings, registering as few as 50,000 viewers in the 25-to-54 year-old demographic earlier this week.
"CNN confirms that Piers Morgan Live is ending," Allison Gollust, head of CNN communications, told POLITICO on Sunday after an earlier version of this post was published. "The date of the final program is still to be determined."
Earlier on Sunday, Morgan told The New York Times that the show had "run its course" and that he and Zucker "have been talking for some time about different ways of using me." Sources who spoke to POLITICO said the decision to end the show was Zucker's.
Live + Same Day Cable News Daily Ratings for Thursday, February 20, 2014:
Check out the unbelievable, consistent low ratings of Piers Morgan. It is hard to believe they stuck with him this long. The funny part is I have watched more shows of American Greed on CNBC than Piers.
As The Other McCain opines, this is the "first smart move that network has made in years." I could not agree more. The money line comes from The Guardian that emphasize the following comments from the New York Times article that Morgan was a square peg in a round hole. Really, after all this time CNN finally figured out that a liberal Brit going against the United States Constitution and the First Amendment was a bad thing? God figure.
"It's been a painful period and lately we have taken a bath in the ratings," Morgan told the New York Times, which first broke news of the CNN decision on Sunday.
"Look, I am a British guy debating American cultural issues, including guns, which has been very polarizing, and there is no doubt that there are many in the audience who are tired of me banging on about it."
LOL, remember when Piers Morgan told CBS News during his book tour that, "I will be taken out of CNN kicking and screaming. I absolutely love it. It's a fantastic network. It's a great news place to be."
Freedom of the Press? Not in an Obama World … The FCC Wants to Grill Reporters, Editors & News Station Owners About How They Decide Which Stories to Run
It would appear that Barack Obama wants to put government FCC monitors in America's news rooms to determine why media outlets cover certain stories. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! So now we are going to have government lackeys in news rooms to monitor and make sure that the media is covering the stories they want them to? Could Barack Obama and the Obama administration possible trample on the United States Constitution and Freedom of Speech any more?
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
As reported at Mediaite, FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal bringing people's attention to this study, saying "the government has no place pressuring media organizations into covering certain stories." And while participation is technically voluntary, ignoring them would not be a wise decision for any news outlet that wants an FCC license. We all know that the MSM is bias and pretty much in lockstep leans to the left, but it is not the governments job to interfere with what they report or how they report . "Participation is voluntary—in theory," supposedly; however, the FCC's questions, queries and interrogations may be hard for the broadcasters to ignore as it is this very government agency that could put a media outlet out of business if they spitefully withhold an FCC license. But of course the Obama administration has never gone after or targeted a specific group of people who opposed him, have they … IRS-GATE!

An Obama administration plan that would get researchers into newsrooms across the country is sparking concern among congressional Republicans and conservative groups.
The purpose of the proposed Federal Communications Commission study is to "identify and understand the critical information needs of the American public, with special emphasis on vulnerable-disadvantaged populations," according to the agency.
However, one agency commissioner, Ajit Pai, said in a Wall Street Journal op-ed piece Wednesday that the May 2013 proposal would allow researchers to "grill reporters, editors and station owners about how they decide which stories to run."
He also said he feared the study might stifle the freedom of the press.
Who is Obama kidding?
This is just heinous as Obama uses the death of Daniel Pearl to make it appear that he is for Freedom of the Press
"Reminded us of how valuable a free press is."
"reminded us that there are those who would go to any leangth in order to silence journalists …"
"A well informed citizenry that is able to make choices and hold governments accountable …"
Obama says, "Clear out the press so that we can take some questions"
FCC Research Study can be read HERE (pdf)
Questions that the FCC poses in the study to news managers and staffers, including the following. Honestly, what business is it of the federal government?
- What is the news philosophy of the station?
- How do you define critical information that the community needs?
- Who decides which stories are covered?
- Have you ever suggested coverage of what you consider a story with critical information for your customers (viewers, listeners, readers) that was rejected by management?
Do we really wonder why, as opined by The Lonely Conservative, that the US has dropped to #46, just above Haiti, in press freedom in the world. Way to go Barack Obama!
Liberal Sports Commentator Bob Costas Does DNC Infomercial on "Redskins" Rant During Cowboy-Washington NFL Game
Thanks Bob Costas for that DNC infomercial … More liberal media bias.
As if following the lead of Barack Obama on suddenly making the name 'Redskin's' the most important issue in America as we face a government shutdown, debt limit default, over-spending, jobless recovery, and record number of American on food stamps, NBC's Bob Costas decided to provide us with some perils of wisdom to pressure the Washington Redskins into changing their name. Yup, during half-time of last nights Cowboys – Redskins game, Costas provided a free DNC commercial.
So, at halftime of the Sunday Night Football game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington REDSKINS, Bob Costas decided to lay down some wisdom on America. He started out okay in his discussion of Obama's new pet project, to pressure Washington into changing the name of the football team, but almost at the end when you were sufficiently sucked in, he threw out the bombshell…..the use of the term "Redskins" is indeed offensive … a nasty slur.
And there you have it. Just like Global Warming, um, I mean Climate Change, the debate about the term "Redskins" is now settled science. Expect for Washington to be changing their name very soon.
Just curious Bob, you have been a sports announcer for 30+ years, why is it all of a sudden that you decided to speak out against the name change? Oh that's right, you got the talking points ok to do so from Barack Obama. Even though a majority of Americans, including Native Americans are against a name change. But Bob and Barack know better.

Political Correctness: AP Stylebook Revises Definition of 'Islamist' as AP Caves PC Pressures … Term "Islamist," Will No Longer Be Used To Describe "Islamic Fighters, Militants, Extremists Or Radicals"
If it looks like an Islamist, walks like an Islamist and talks like an Islamist, geuess what AP … It's an Islamist.
Remember when the journalist news used to be about reporting the news and not about worrying whether someone felt uncomfortable? Now the AP wants to redefine the enemy of the United States. How about a new definition for the AP … gutless, politically correct cowards?
This is yet another example why many have no trust or respect in the MSM. Just days after dropping "illegal immigrant" from its influential stylebook, the Associated Press has revised its definition of another politically charged term, Islamist. The AP stated that it will no longer use the term "Islamist" to describe an Islamic fighters, militants, extremists or radicals. Instead, the AP now defines an "Islamist" as an "advocate or supporter of a political movement that favors reordering government and society in accordance with laws prescribed by Islam. Of course this was a result of the cowards at AP succumbing to the pressures of CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
Yup, here is one of the Islamists that the AP refuses to define as an Islamic Fighters, Militants, Extremists Or Radicals
Following on the heels of the Tuesday decision by The Associated Press to discontinue use of the term "illegal immigrant," the news agency on Thursday revised its stylebook entry for another politically charged term. The term "Islamist," the AP clarified in a Thursday afternoon alert to online stylebook subscribers, should not be used as "a synonym for Islamic fighters, militants, extremists or radicals."
"Islamist" is frequently used as a label for conservative Islamic political movements, particularly Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, the group's Palestinian offshoot. It generally carries a negative connotation.
The AP first added the term to its stylebook in 2012. The definition initially read:
Supporter of government in accord with the laws of Islam. Those who view the Quran as a political model encompass a wide range of Muslims, from mainstream politicians to militants known as jihadi.
Just how gutless and politically correct has the AP become? These folks are more worried about if they upset terrorists than they are in correctly and accurately reporting the news. If these jokers were around in the 1940′s I am guessing that they would have provided cute and flowery definitions for the term Nazi's and fascists.
Sorry, but we will continue to use the term "Islamist" as it is meant to be and for effect we will add the term radical jihad Islamist fascist for effect.

Ben Carson Says White Liberals Are "The Most Racist People" In America on Mark Levin Radio Show
Why we love Dr. Ben Carson, he calls it like it is an is unafraid to do so.
Last night on Mark Levin's radio show Dr. Ben Carson, the new voice of conservatism, discussed the "left-wing media's" attempt to attack him and stop his speech on many issues and views on gay marriage and religion. As Carson has stated in the past, political correctness, threatens to destroy our nation. Carson states that "they" need to shut me up completely and the reason why the attacks against him are so vicious. There is nothing like a comment from a Black conservative for the LEFT to lose their minds. Dr. Carson told Levin that, in his experience, white liberals are the "most racist people there are."
From Mediaite:
"They need to shut me up, they need to delegitimize me," Carson told the radio host while explaining why he believes the media has scorned him for lumping homosexuality in with unsavory sexual acts like bestiality and pedophilia.
Levin added that the doctor has been attacked by "white liberals" because he is a black conservative, to which Carson replied: "They are the most racist people there are. Because they put you in a little category, a little box. You have to think this way. How could you dare come off the plantation?"
"I don't have a particular agenda that I'm pushing," he added. "So it would be particularly difficult for them to trip me up."
As Weasel Zippers aptly states, Libs prove Ben Carson's point by calling him a "token" or "uncle tom" in 3 … 2 … 1.
With all due respect to Bill O'Reilly … DR. BEN CARSON IS THE IS THE SECOND MOST FEARED MAN OF THE LEFT BEHIND RUSH AND MIGHT EVEN WELL BE #1!

Dr. Benjamin Carson Addresses National Prayer Breakfast and Lectures Barack Obama on Obamacare … "When a person is born, give him a birth certificate, an electronic medical record, and a health savings account" (Update: Left Goes Mental Over the Truth & Carson's Comments)
Barack Obama gets an earful on Obamacare from famed Baltimore neurosurgeon Dr. Benjamin Carson.
Last week during the National Prayer Breakfast, neurosurgeon Dr. Benjamin Carson criticized President Barack Obama, Obamacare and the governments intrusion in healthcare. All the while as President Obama sat in the audience. It is too bad that Obama could probably not hear a word of what this educated man was saying. After listening to Dr. Benjamin Carson all I could take from him is why is not this man the president of the United States? His discussion on the dangers of "political correctness". He stated PC was dangerous as it because the unanimity of speech and though is bad. This country was founded on freedom or thought and freedom of expression. PC muzzles people and keeps people from discussing important issues. With Obama less than 5 feet away, Dr. Carson criticized Obamacare and encouraged a program where newborn babies are given health savings account as an alternative to Obamacare.
If you have never watched one YouTube video, you need to watch this one.It is fascinating, informational and inspirational. Carson's discussion on education is tremendous. Think back to slavery, it was illegal to educate a slave. Why was that? Because, to educate a man, liberates a man. Amen brother. What he is talking about is to have a public educated, so that they never become victims and dependent upon a government.
Simply amazing, as Barack Obama looked on, Carson basically dismantled Obama's class warfare and "fairness" doctrine before his very eyes. Oh to have really known what Obama was thinking as Carson ripped Obama's ridiculous and divisive "hurt the rich" and "class warfare" … "Some people say, 'Well that's not fair because it doesn't hurt the guy who made $10 billion as much as the guy who made 10.' Where does it say you've got to hurt the guy? He just put a billion dollars in the pot".
From Real Clear Politics:
DR. CARSON: What we need to do is come up with something simple. And when I pick up my Bible, you know what I see? I see the fairest individual in the universe, God, and he's given us a system. It's called a tithe. We don't necessarily have to do 10% but it's the principle. He didn't say if your crops fail, don't give me any tithe or if you have a bumper crop, give me triple tithe. So there must be something inherently fair about proportionality. You make $10 billion, you put in a billion. You make $10 you put in one. Of course you've got to get rid of the loopholes. Some people say, 'Well that's not fair because it doesn't hurt the guy who made $10 billion as much as the guy who made 10.' Where does it say you've got to hurt the guy? He just put a billion dollars in the pot. We don't need to hurt him. It's that kind of thinking that has resulted in 602 banks in the Cayman Islands. That money needs to be back here building our infrastructure and creating jobs.
DR. CARSON: Here's my solution: When a person is born, give him a birth certificate, an electronic medical record, and a health savings account to which money can be contributed — pretax — from the time you're born 'til the time you die. When you die, you can pass it on to your family members, so that when you're 85 years old and you got six diseases, you're not trying to spend up everything. You're happy to pass it on and there's nobody talking about death panels. Number one. And also, for the people who were indigent who don't have any money we can make contributions to their HSA each month because we already have this huge pot of money. Instead of sending it to some bureaucracy, let's put it in their HSAs. Now they have some control over their own health care.
It is really too bad that this man is not more prominent than he is. His thoughts and vision is remarkable. He is an individual who should be considered a hero, not sports athletes , singers or actors. This man is the real deal. Carson's role model was Jesus. Dr. Benjamin Carson for President!!!
UPDATE I: Looks like the LEFT considers Dr. Carson a racist for daring to question and criticize Obama, the first black president. Oh Wait, Dr. Carson is a man of color as well.
The Libs at CNN did not take too much time in trying to attack Dr. Benjamin Carson for his comments and come to the aid of their liberal savior and daddy, President Barack Hussein Obama. As reported at Mediaite, on Sunday, the panel guests on CNN's State of the Union weighed in on whether it was appropriate for Carson to use the forum of the prayer breakfast to advocate for free market reforms to healthcare and a flat tax code. What's the matter, the liberal and bias MSM cannot stand some one calling out Obama's divisive, class warfare doctrine? Especially when the individual who did it was black? I guess this makes Dr. Carson a racist. Isn't anyone who dares differ with Obama considered a racist? How sad that Democrats just not get the message that its better to teach an individual to fish, rather than just give some one fish. The fact that the Democrat on the panel made this about partisan politics, rather than the common sense that Dr. Carson was espousing just shows what Democrats are really after … class warfare and a dependent government class of people who are uneducated and forced to remain on the Democrat plantation.
Crowley turned to Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) and asked if she found "anything offensive" in Carson's speech.
"I think that there is a political correctness that he was trying to use to appeal to a conservative audience," Schakowsky said. "I think it's really not really an appropriate place to make this kind of political speech and to invoke God as his support for that kind of view."
Schakowsky concluded by saying that Carson's message displayed an "empathy gap" between where the American propel are and where Carson, and other conservatives, want the nation to go. "We need to have an economy that works for everyone," she concluded.
CNN's Don Lemon Anti-Gun Activist Discusses Gun Control … Should We Start Profiling White Men? What About Profiling those with Mental Issues, Hmm?
Isn't it amazing that the liberal media thinks its perfectly ok to take away law-abiding citizens rights when it comes to gun ownership and racially profile white men. Yet, its evil to racially profile blacks, illegals and terrorists. It is truly sick that the MSM would use such a tragedy like the mass murder of children as Sandy Hook Elementary School for their liberal agenda.
CNN's discussion on gun control, not that we should be racially profiling white men, but why aren't we racially profiling white men? It is simply amazing just have selectively, racially biased liberals are. They are all for racially profiling white men when it comes to mass shootings, but hell no when it comes to Muslims and blacks. In those cases, it would just be wrong and a violation of their civil rights. I wonder who Lemon feels about First Amendment Rights of free speech on pornography or the burning of the American flag? I wonder if he wouldn't mind his "freedom of the press" taken away from those in the MSM who lie, misrepresent and knowingly defend a president who is not doing the will of 'We the People"?
Socialist on panel blames "white" privilege for not having whites profiled
CNN's Don Lemon discusses the possibility of profiling white men in an attempt to prevent gun violence and decrease the amount of mass shootings. Lemon argues that white males between the ages of 18 and 25 were behind nearly all recent mass killings.
On the panel: David Sirota, radio talk show host; Richard Moran, criminologist; Lou Palumbo, retired police detective and private security provider; and Tom Deets, gun store owner.
From NewsBusters, CNN anchor Don Lemon previously went on an anti-gun rant and called for an assault weapons ban. Lemon is only the latest CNN anchor to abandon journalistic standards and act as an activist instead pushing for gun control. Lemon went on to rant that mental health needs to be discussed, but that is a secondary issues to guns. ARE YOU ON CRACK? Obviously the CNN anchor has never done root-cause analysis in his life. Mental health is hardly the secondary issue, it is actually the primary one.
DON LEMON: Listen. For the past three days, I have been on the verge of tears every second and most of the people here have been crying 24 hours straight. Yeah – yes, we need to address mental health, but mental health in this particular issue, let's not get it twisted, is a secondary issue. If someone who has a mental issue did not have access to guns that should only be available in war zones, we would not be dealing with this.
A note to the clueless, anti-gun, anti-Second Amendment LEFT, the 2nd Amendment of the United States Constitution states a "right to bear arms", not a right to hunt. And from this Leftist, pro-totalitarian state Lib comes the ranting's that even law-abiding citizens should have their rights taken away. UNREAL.
Who needs an armor-piercing bullet to go hunting? Who needs an assault rifle to go hunting? You can't even use the prey that you kill with an assault rifle if you indeed do it. No one needs an assault rifle to go out and shoot a deer. No one needs an assault rifle that's capable of shooting 10, 20, 30 rounds off at the same time to shoot a duck, or to shoot quail. It does not make sense. Our first – the first thing that we need to do – and according to everyone that is here, even gun enthusiasts, is talk about what we're doing with assault rifles, why should guns that should only be available in war zones, why are they available to people who are mentally healthy and people who are not mentally healthy. That's the issue that we need to deal with.

More Political Correctness: CNN Apologizes for Guest Using "CrossHairs" … What Would they Ever Say about George Carlin and his Baseball-Football Skit?
In the immortal words of George Carlin … WTF!!!
How pathetic has political correctness become? CNN actually apologized for a guest using the word "cross-hairs". Imagine that, that evil, hate monger used the term, "in the cross-hairs". That gets an apology, but the incorrect and purposely false reporting that Jared Loughner, the alleged Tucson tragedy gunman who killed six was a right-wing Tea Party member gets nothing. This is the message that the MSM has learned from the Tucson tragedy? One would think there would be a greater look into mental health and the ability to "target" mentally disturbed people sooner capable of violence.
Would CNN take add $'s from Target?
With the PC hysteria, the media might want to start with themselves. So metaphors of CNN's choice are now deemed bad. Just curious, in a CNN board room have they ever stated they would target a certain demographic or would CNN ever accept commercial ad space from TARGET?
From Real Clear Politics:
HCNN's John King: "Before we go to break, I want to make a quick point. We were having a discussion about the Chicago mayoral race. My friend Andy Shaw used the term 'in the crosshairs' in talking about the candidates. We're trying, we're trying to get away from that language. Andy is a good friend, he's covered politics for a long time, but we're trying to get away from that kind of language."
Classic Values is not so many words tells CNN and John King where to stick is apologizing for free speech.
What would CNN ever do with comedian George Carlin and his skit on Baseball vs. Football? The comic classic would be watered down to mere dribble if CNN and the rest of the pathetic MSM had their PC way. Would they be apologizing ffor the following, "Football is played on a gridiron, in a stadium, sometimes called Soldier Field or War Memorial Stadium". Oh no, Carlin said war, we must apologize. Then there is this horrible comic line that has caused so many madmen to take up arms, "Football is rigidly timed, and it will end even if we've got to go to sudden death."So does this mean that in all sports cast, the announcers will no longer be able to use such abusive language like "sudden death"?
George Carlin, Baseball vs. Football
The object in football is to march down field and penetrate enemy territory,
and get into the end zone; in baseball, the object is to go home! "I'm going home!"
And, in football, they have the clip, the hit, the block, the tackle, the blitz, the bomb, the offense and the defense;
in baseball, they have.. the sacrifice.
It is unbelievable that freedom of speech and the political correctness police have come to this. What a sad state of affairs. Will CNN print a manual of acceptable words that can be used on their air without having to sit in the corner in time out if used? Just curious, how many shooting sprees was George Carlin responsible for?

Sarah Palin Targets on Map Considered a Death Threat, Joe Manchin "Taking Dead Aim" and Shooting Bill with Real Gun … Perfectly OK for the LEFT
Can this nonsense get any more ridiculous … The Democrats and the loony LEFT have yet another Paul Wellstone Memorial moment.
Fake targets, cross-hairs or bulls-eyes on a map to show politically targeted states or districts are evil, bad and make "registered Independents" go crazy, however, using a rifle complete with scope and real cross-hairs to "take dead aim"at a piece of legislation is perfectly ok. I think we can see the hypocrisy of the LEFT once again on display.
Just another example of PDS and a double standard for Democrats. The LEFT actually made references that Sarah Palin, Michelle Bauchman, Fox News are accessories to murder. Just how insane has the LEFT become? Oh but it's different for Democrats, Palin is inciting violence by putting cross-hairs on a map, however, newly elected Senator Joe Manchin (WV-D) was using a gun shooting as a metaphor.
Manchin said in a statement today.
"The act of a deranged madman who commits a horrific act should not and cannot be confused with a metaphor about a piece of legislation. I have never targeted an individual, and I never would," he added. "This tragedy, I hope, serves as call for common sense, and wake-up call that we should all come together with common purpose to do what is best for our country."

Final Fantasy Seven's love triangle debate has been raging for the better part of twelve years now, and caused no end of interfandom tensions. For those of you unfamiliar with the whole debacle, I first congratulate you on your luck in remaining free, and I next explain that it is the debate over which of Tifa or Aerith Cloud Strife loves. Many a year, and countless hypotheses have been spent trying to argue that Cloud and Tifa are not a couple despite all the best evidence, and that Cloud and Aerith have a relationship despite the latter's unfortunate condition. For some time, the love triangle debate has been in what could aptly be described as its death throes. Today, hopefully, we can perform a mercy killing.
Just this morning, our translator Tres dias, who is translating the FFVIII keywords and character profiles, who co-wrote the Dissidia FAQ with Mako Eyes, and who has written a comprehensive FAQ on this subject, received the Final Fantasy 20th Anniversary Ultimania Scenario in the mail. He wanted me to be the one to make this post, and it is my honor to now provide you with his scans, and translations, of page 394 of the guidebook, on 'For the one I love.'
The header to this section reads
Of direct interest to we fans of Final Fantasy Seven, however, are two images and their associated text, which we have provided, zoomed in on, so those playing at home can check our work.
First, is a picture discussing the Gold Saucer date. The text describing it reads
Secret date
At the Gold Saucer, Cloud receives an invitation from one of his companions. Who comes around with the invitation is dependent on Cloud's behavior.
Nothing so amazing, no, all it tells us is that the date itself is up to player control, so no one version is 'official,' but the next section is not only what hopefully will make for a swift end to the LTD, but also confirms a scenario I have been arguing in favor of for quite a number of years.
As you can see, the image is of Cloud and Tifa's night under the Highwind. That on a page entitled 'for the one I love' is very conclusive in its own right. The text, however, takes it a step further, and reads
The night before the final battle
Thanks to Tifa, Cloud regains himself, and before the final battle with Sephiroth, without using words, he confirms with her that their feelings match.
Read that again. 'without using words, [Cloud] confirms with [Tifa] that their feelings match.' So, not only can we unequivocally state that these matching feelings are those of love, but that these feelings of love are confirmed without words. In other words, physically. So, yes, there was almost certainly sex under the Highwind that night. I do not wish to bore everyone with a regurgitation of all the related materials, but this does confirm that yes, Cloud and Tifa's relationship past this point are that of lovers. And that, my friends, settles the Love Triangle. Even if you don't want to believe it.
Also of note is that this page shows all the other 'canon' couples in the main parties, Ingus and Sara, Cecil and Rosa, Locke and Celes, Squall and Rinoa, Steiner and Beatrix, Zidane and Garnet, and Tidus and Yuna in their moments of revelation. So Cloud and Tifa are certainly in good company, hugging together underneath the Highwind along all the other canon couples of Final Fantasy.
One last thing, before I go. I have one thought, from Tres himself, that he asked me to relate to everyone. That thought is, "All that's left to say is: Abandon 'ship!" Wise words indeed, since that ship has been undeniably sunk, if you'll pardon the pun, by canon.
UPDATE: If you wish to see the translation of the page as a whole, please follow this link to Tres's translations of what the rest of this page says about revelation of romantic feelings in other games, and what the box in the lower right says about displays of non-romantic feelings.

|What's The Banks's Stadium Like?
Saddlers moved to then called Bescot Stadium in 1990
from Fellows
Park, which had been their home for 104 years. A
fairly simple affair, somewhat similar to Glanford
Park in Scunthorpe, which was opened two years
earlier, the stadium received a boost in 2003 with the
opening of a huge stand at one end. This is a large
two tiered affair that completely dwarfs the rest of
the ground. It is smart looking, with a glassed area
running across its middle, which houses the concourse.
Unusually, it has a slightly larger upper than lower
tier. This end before it was re-developed was
previously called the Gilbert Alsop (a former Walsall
playing great) Stand, but in a commercial sponsorship
deal, it is now currently called the Tile Choice
The rest of the stadium is totally enclosed with three of the stands being roughly the same height, giving it a 'box-like' feel. These stands are not particularly big, around 15 rows high. The corners are filled, but only for advertising hoardings. The Homeserve Main Stand on one side has a small television camera gantry perched on its roof, as well as the players tunnel and team dug outs at its front. At the back of the stand is a glassed area, which I presume is used for corporate hospitality. Opposite is the WFC Community Stand which is a simple seated stand that has dedicated areas for wheelchair users at its front.
The main disappointment is the large number of supporting pillars in each of the older stands (the newer Tile Choice Stand is pillar free). As Walsall unfortunately very rarely fill the stadium, this is not a huge problem. However, for big games this can be very annoying if you are unlucky enough to get seated behind one. There are four floodlight pylons mounted on the roof of each side stand. In one corner of the stadium between the away end and the Family Stand is a large video screen that was installed in 2014.
In a corporate sponsorship deal with Marstons Brewery, the stadium has been renamed the Banks's Stadium.
|Future Developments
|The Club have announced that they have been granted planning permission to redevelop the KIA (William Sharp) Stand at one end of the ground. The new stand would look similar to the Tile Choice Stand and add 2,300 seats to the stadium, raising the overall capacity to 13,500. It would also mean that up to 4,000 away supporters could be accommodated at that end. The back of the stand will also feature a giant advertising hoarding, clearly visible from the M6. However there are no firm time scales as to when this might actually happen.
|What Is It Like For Visiting Supporters?
supporters are housed in the KIA Stand at one end of
the ground, where around 2,000 away supporters can be
accommodated. There are a few supporting pillars at
the front which could
impede your view. The good news though, is that even a
small amount of away fans can really make some noise and make a good atmosphere. A
trip to Walsall can be disappointing in terms of
trying to get there and the stadium itself, but is
more than countered by the relaxed atmosphere around
the ground and the friendliness of the Walsall fans
Harding a visiting Hull City fan provides his
thoughts on the stadium; 'In my opinion The
Bescot has to be one of the poorest grounds in the country.
It has a strange look to it with three
covered stands all the same size,
but one large stand that towers over the rest of the ground, giving
it a somewhat lopsided feel. I found the away end to
be rather cramped and the view distorted by one of the four pillars that run across the front. The only
good thing is that it the stand is covered, which means a good away
following can create a
lot of noise. The away
end is served by a food kiosk stuck in each corner,
and near to the toilets
which created a bit of a bottle neck at half time, especially as
a large away following was present. The food though, if you are prepared
to wait, was excellent, especially the chicken balti pies.
The home fans didn't appear to be threatening
in anyway and the stewards came
across as a friendly bunch of people.
The amount of police on duty though
did seem a little excessive for what was a bit of a nothing game'.
supporter going to the game?
WFC Community & KIA Stands
The large electronic advertising hoarding viewable beyond the ground is apparently the largest in Europe!
|Where To Drink?
This is the Saddlers
Club situated just outside the stadium that is happy
to admit away supporters on matchdays on payment of
a £2 entrance fee, although under 16's are admitted
free. The Club has two rooms, a smaller one at the
front which is for home supporters and a larger
function room at the back, which is for away fans.
This area has seating for 300, has a large screen
showing Sky Sports news, has food on offer, such as
pies & burgers plus they offered real ale (on my
last visit this was Wychwood Hobgoblin). Overall, I
was very impressed with the facilities, but as you
would expect if there is a large away following it
can get full pretty quickly.
|How To Get There By Car & Where To Park
The ground is right
next to the M6, in fact you can see it from the
motorway just north of the RAC Control Centre.
Unfortunately, this stretch of motorway normally has
a large traffic jam on both Saturday lunchtimes and
early weekday evenings, so allow extra time.

(Away Fans) Stand
|By Train
Stadium has its own Railway Station, situated behind
the away end only a few minutes
walk from the turnstiles. Trains run there on a local
line from Birmingham New Street
and the journey time is around 20 minutes. There is a
regular service on Saturdays along this line and you
should not have too many problems getting away after
the game.

The Civil War as Photographed by Mathew Brady

- Tool:
- Making Connections
- Historical Era:
- Civil War and Reconstruction (1850-1877)
- Primary Historical Thinking Skill:
- Historical Analysis & Interpretation
- Bloom's Taxonomy:
- Analyzing
Students will analyze a series of photographs taken by renowned photographer Mathew Brady to reflect on the lives of soldiers during the Civil War. The holdings of the National Archives include over 6,000 photographs taken by Brady and his associates during the Civil War era.
This activity was adapted from an article formerly published on www.archives.gov/education by Douglas Perry, a teacher at Gig Harbor High School in Gig Harbor, WA.
Authors Notes
This activity can be used during a unit on the Civil War. For grades grades 6-12. Approximate time needed is 90 minutes.
To begin, ask students to quickly scan through all of the photographs in the activity before choosing 3–4 for deeper analysis. For the photographs that students choose to analyze, tell them to:
- Study the photo for 2 minutes.
- Create a chart listing the people, objects, and actions in the photo.
- Answer: What can you infer from the photo?
- Answer: What questions does this photo raise in your mind?
After analyzing 3-4 photographs individually, place students in small groups to compare and contrast their findings. Once they are familiar with the photographs of the group, ask them to compile a list of adjectives that they think describe the life of a soldier during the Civil War.
After students discuss these adjectives in small group, bring the class back together and discuss their findings; post them for the whole class to see. For specific adjectives, prompt students to explain their choices with specific evidence from the photographs.
After listing these adjectives, lead a discussion around the following issues:
- What motivated these men to put up with such difficult circumstances?
- If there had been television or the internet, would the Civil War have lasted as long as it did?
- How did soldiers cope with the death of their friends and fellow soldiers?
Extension Activity: Direct students to the Series of Mathew Brady photographs in the National Archives online catalog to find other photographs that show additional aspects of war life for Union and Confederate soldiers. Students can browse or search within the series for specific terms to find photographs. Ask them to print out these photos and add them to a classroom gallery.
Documents in this activity:
- Wilderness, near Chancellorsville, VA
- Camp of the 44th N.Y. Inf. near Alexandria, VA
- Company of Infantry on parade. Part of 6th Maine Infantry after battle of Fredericksburg. At time of the charge across stone wall at foot of Marye Heights Gen. Hooker in command of Federals, Gen. Fitzhugh Lee in command of Confederates.
- Camp scene. Showing winter huts and corduroy roads
- Wounded soldiers in hospital
- Battery in action at Fredericksburg, VA
- Wounded soldiers under trees, Marye's Heights, Fredericksburg. After the battle of Spotsylvania, 1864.
