Well, it could be tweaked a bit.
I actually think his nose gives him quite a regal profile.
*knows she will be shot*
Regal? King Schnozz of Rhinoland maybe. If he had a nose job he would have to relearn all his jumps as the weight ratio would be totally off. Mind you, I'm so looking forward to seeing his work after working with such great choreographers. If he can change his style it will be one of the greatest accomplishments in mens skating for years... although it won't do anything about the attitude I know. Still, very curious to see how he's skating next season.
hey I ve been there!
or was it Disneyland?
I'm looking forward to the next season with great anticipation. He's working with excellent choreographers, he's changed up his style (apparently), he's not using Edvin's music for the first time in six years, he's focusing on improving all the areas of his skating, AND he's still found the time to pack in a couple more quads.
If it all comes together...there may not be a skater in the world who can match him, let alone beat him.
And I think for all that people are still giving him crap for his "attitude", you must concede that at least he was prepared to TRY and improve and change his style! A truly arrogant person wouldn't even consider it.
All these Plush-nose talks is just one big yawn . Some people are simply jealous that his nose is not his only asset that is big.
Yes. And Sasha Cohen married a gynocologist.
How do you know about his other assets?
Yeah, I heard that a few years ago.
I was wondering why this thread was still going on well after April Fool's day.
Very good one !
I always wanted to ask, it seems the appropriate thread , do quads affect men skaters ...functions?
Well, he,Kurt, and Oda have children so I guess not.
I fell for it, hook line and sinker!
Are there fans who claim to have up close and personal experience?
That's what I am trying to find out.
Haven't you ever watched "Sex Bomb"? The suit was only padded from the waist UP...
you it's ok. the bad thing would be if Mrs Plushenko would find out!
You mean hook line and stinker.
Wasn't there a map of the world on another thread that showed geographical endowment by country? Or was that another April Fool's Joke? What were the Russian measurements?
I don't know how figure skating might affect a male skaters, uh, overall prowess, but at least in the cold rink one could expect some considerable shrinkage due to temperature?
I will say that I know for a fact that long distance cyclists have issues in that area. Lots of prostate problems. Don't ask me how I know, I just do. I can't see how quads would affect...that area....like sitting on a little hard bicycle seat for hours and hours would do.
Seriously-do male skaters wear the same kind of support belts that male dancers wear? I could see where pairs and dance would need them.
We won't tell.
Well now I'm looking at a picture of Evan with flat hair and I realize he has the same nose as Plushenko. So whose is bigger?
See, that's just like Plushenko's nose job: totally believeble.
-- Uh, I also asked in the skating couple thread, does anybody know about a Cohen's special one, male or female, present or past?
Or is the girl a CIA agent?
Wow, that's the first time I ever think of that.
And now I'm curious about something else: why would quads affect functions?
-- Oh, now that I think of it, what a life choice would that have been for both Plushenko and Yagudin! - Uhm, nooo way figure skating was going to make the cut.
He really should get one, though.
It varies from skater to skater. Some do, some don't. Occasionally we'll get a hint from glimpses below the waistband, but it seems to be that mostly Americans and Europeans wear the dance belts; I know Plushenko and Yagudin in particular just went with regular underwear. (NOT discovered by nefarious sources, just for the record! via Youtube!)
I saw some television documentary featuring Alexei Urmanov talking about why his persistent groin injury effectively ended his competitive career. He said the injury didn't bother him when he was playing soccer or doing other activities, but as soon as he got on the ice it did. Some physician then talked about how everything you do in skating uses the groin muscle. Urmanov's particular problem was that he didn't have the strength to get into the tight contracted air position required for the triple axel.
I guess skating would make the groin muscle stronger, but there is also the danger of injury from hyperextending it or overuse.

I had always suspected this for months but had no way to prove it until my flatmate's BF sent her this link today:
Apparently a lot of the private Chinese schools are collecting taxes from our pay checks but they are not even paying taxes - just keeping the money! At my school they deduct 22% for taxes and we never get an itemization. Anyway the above link has a tax calculator to show you how much you are supposed to pay in tax (Every province is China is different) and how to know if you are being cheated.

Full Report: Viva Don King II/Grano-Williamson
By Phil Doherty at ringside
Photos: Ralph Notaro
Former world heavyweight title contender Davarryl "Touch of Sleep" Williamson (27-7, 23 KOs) intended to use Saturday's championship bout against Tony "TNT" Grano (20-2-1, 16 KOs) as a "checkup" of his career. Fighting for the vacant NABF heavyweight crown against a man twelve years his junior, the forty-three year old Williamson wanted to see how his reflexes felt; judging his boxing future on a case-by case basis. Williamson told Fightnews during Wednesday's press conference he intended to create separation during the twelve-round main event of the Viva Don King II card from Hollywood's Seminole Hard Rock Live. Unfortunately, Grano was the man completing that task, separating Williamson from his senses with a punishing combination at 2:27 of the fourth round and "touching" Davarryl with a type of sleep particular to pugilism.
After landing the only meaningful blow in the feel-out first round, Grano absorbed a painful overhand right from Williamson that he later admitted "caught" him. Grano could have caught a lot more in the round when he tried to correct a wardrobe malfunction involving his trunks during the action.
Grano came out strong to start the third, firing a barrage of overhand rights which forced Williamson to clinch. Another overhand right left Williamson looking dazed and his eyes glazed, holding on for dear life. Grano pressed the attack with a right to the body, left hook, right hand, left hook combination to wobble Williamson before the bell momentarily reprieved him.
Sensing the advantage, "TNT" exploded in the fourth with continued lead rights to the body and head, backing Williamson to the ropes. Another crushing right hand scored upstairs for Grano and he followed it up with a left, right, left hook flourish that sent Williamson falling face-first towards the floor. Referee Telis Assimenios wisely and rightly stopped the assault, sparing the distinguished veteran further damage.
An ebullient Grano, who recently became a proud father, thanked Williamson for the opportunity and class extended throughout the promotion. He added: "I was the underdog in this fight, a lot of people didn't believe in me so I gotta prove myself. I don't have a problem with that."
In the ten-round co-main event, local fan darling Joey "Twinkle Fingers" Hernandez (23-1-1, 13 KOs) broke the aggression and eventually the will of opponent Brandon "The Business" Baue (12-7, 10 KOs) of Missouri. Baue bulled forward in the first, getting inside long enough to throw "Twinkle Fingers" into the ring ropes. Hernandez countered the aggression sharply in the second with double jabs and a solid straight left that immediately drew blood from Baue's nose. Another three-punch combo from Hernandez yielded some swelling from Baue's right eye and he began to circle away from Hernandez's left. Bowed, but not yet broken, "The Business" returned fire, scoring a clean left hook before the bell.
Baue's right eye began the third round nearly completely shut, which Hernandez exploited behind repeated one-two combinations. Following a right hook, straight left score from Hernandez, a defiant Baue began to showboat; sticking out his tongue at the advancing southpaw. The antics seem to grant Baue some temporary energy and he came out in the fourth with some heavy leather, landing a thudding left hook to briefly stun "Twinkle Fingers" along the ropes. Once again, Hernandez manipulated his opponents' recklessness to his advantage, returning fire at the off-balance Baue and scoring the fight's first knockdown.
Referee Frank Gentile administered a standing eight count to Baue, which only briefly delayed Hernandez giving the "business" end of a barrage of left hands to force the TKO stoppage at 1:11 of the round. "Twinkle Fingers" now holds the #14 WBC ranking (#11 IBF and #12 WBO) but wants to move up quickly, expressing a desire to face the winner of the Cornelius Bundrage-Corey Spinks rematch scheduled for June 30th in California.
Hernandez confided: "I felt flat coming into the ring. I only had about thirty minutes to get warmed up. I got here at about eight o'clock, so I didn't have much warm-up but after the second or third round I started to get my groove. I took everything he had and I felt he was just trying to survive so I said f*** it I'm gonna take him out."
On paper, the scheduled ten-round lightweight bout between undefeated Cuban southpaw Angelo "La Cobra" Santana (13-0, 10 KOs) and Justin "Le Vodou" Savi (26-2, 18 KOs) looked like the consensus pick for fight of the night. However, the high hopes were quite literally dashed due to a series of unfortunate headbutts, the first of which occurred just seconds into the first round. The collision left Savi with a nasty cut over his right eye. Despite the handicap, the African veteran scored a left hook to the body and one-two combination.
Savi scored another left hook in the second which left him exposed just long enough to eat a counter left from Santana that deposited him to the canvas. Another clash of heads left Savi's left eye hideously swelling shut yet the brave man from Benin scored his own clean left which appeared to force Santana's glove to brush the canvas. Referee Gentile didn't see it that way and the action continued to the bell.
Savi came out in the third behind two straight lead rights which Santana weathered, returning fire with body shots, one of which Gentile warned for being low. "La Cobra" took seized the moment to strike Savi with a sizzling right hook counter that wobbled the African. Santana followed this up with more of a shove than a punch, which Gentile did rule a knockdown. Smelling and seeing blood from his opponent, Santana finished his man with a furious flurry to force the inevitable stoppage at 1:51 of the round.
Light middleweight Omar "Oh!" Henry (12-0-1, 9 KOs) of Chicago found a much tougher-than-expected challenge from last-minute replacement Tyrone "Soulja Black" Selders (8-6, 3 KOs) of Baton Rouge. Henry looked like a bat out of hell to start the action, obviously looking to make a point. Having had four previous opponents duck out of the challenge, Henry intended to demonstrate his displeasure with a dominant and potentially quick finish.
Launching punches with such ferocity he ended up losing his mouthpiece twice in the bout, Henry came on like an offensive juggernaut against the taller Selders. Yet it became apparent Selders had been training and he gladly gobbled up the relentless attack, earning himself the right to face another round repeatedly throughout the fight. Selders lived up to the "Warrior at Heart" lettering on his trunks to deliver some solid right hands in the middle rounds.
However Henry wisely turned up the action in the last ten seconds of each round to possibly prevent another Pacquiao-Bradley type scoring controversy. The strategy paid off as judges awarded him the unanimous decision with scores of 100-88 and 100-90 (twice). Henry stated: "The guy was tough, he's been training. I'm glad it went that long because people didn't know if I could go more than one or four rounds because I usually score early knockouts. But I showed I still have my speed over ten rounds and can still be dominant."
If the main course satisfied, the appetizer delighted as the undercards' first three bouts all ended in dramatic fashion with first-round knockouts. Welterweight Esai Estimar (1-0, 1 KO) made the most of his professional debut against fellow debut performer Puerto Rican Xavier "X Man" Lugo (0-1). Estimar settled things with a crashing right hand at 2:22 of the first round.
Twenty–two year old heavyweight Trevor "The Dream" Howard (4-0, 3 KOs) took things a step further with a brutal clean knockout of Hector "Ready For War" Hodge (1-1). Hodge slipped a straight right from Howard but didn't see the screaming left hook behind it that reduced him to putty just 34 seconds into the action. Ringside physicians attended to Hodge for several minutes following his lapse of consciousness.
Fellow Albany prospect, light welterweight Amir "The Young Master" Imam (5-0, 4 KOs) displayed remarkable defense and punching power for such a young fighter, who trainer Stacey McKinley compares to lightweight legend "The Old Master" Joe Gans. Imam weathered the first round attack from Kelvin Williams (1-2,1 KO) and responded with an unmerciful lesson in the "sweet science" which dropped Willaims three times in the round, halting action at 2:59. A jubilant Imam beamed on his way back to the dressing room, stating: "It was fun, I love boxing, I love it man."
WBA #15-ranked super flyweight Thomas "The Franchise" Snow (16-1, 10 KOs) earned the biggest applause during the early going as the ring card girls finally made their first appearance of the evening at the end of his first round against Ernie "The Gladiator" Marquez (9-11-2, 3 KOs). Snow, whose persona fits the "superfly" weight division perfectly, dominated the overmatched Marquez from the opening bell with crisp combination punching. Head clashes marred the action somewhat in the third, leaving Marquez's right eye a bloody mess. Snow followed this up in the fourth behind a big left to the body and right hook upstairs that put Marquez down. He bravely tried to beat the count but referee Frank Gentile wasn't buying it, waving it off at 46 seconds of the fourth round.
The quintessentially quotable "Franchise" explained matter-of-factly: "He's a little guy. Little guys don't want to get hit by big guys."
Other notable "big guys" joining the festivities at ringside to help celebrate Don King's 80th birthday were former heavyweight champs Evander Holyfield and Larry Holmes. Newly-crowned IBF welterweight champion Randall Bailey joined Corey Spinks and WBA cruiserweight champ Guillermo Jones at ringside as well.
With his rising stable of young guns and "never surrender" attitude, one hopes "Viva Don King" turns into a legitimate challenge to the current promotional logjam preventing the very best fights available to the boxing consumer.

Copenhagen is a modern metropolis with hundreds of thousands living within its confine as well as millions who visit it each year. Danish police recently found 12 Roma living in a derelict abandoned post office and arrested them for trespassing on private property. Police are concerned about the ever increasing number of Roma who have come to their fair city of Copenhagen to find a way of life. Political leaders are currently discussing ways of coping with this large influx of undesirable aliens who supposedly beg for money, sell bottles or engage in life of crime. Current estimates place the number of these hordes of Roma at anywhere from 200–400! A police spokesperson promised a "series of police raids will be carried out and there will be nothing soft-handed about it." They are working with Romanian police to ascertain the status of the 12 arrested Roma.
Let us accept the figure of 400 as the number of Roma in Copenhagen. Is it possible that among these 400 a few are working at paying jobs? If not, can an employment agency help secure work for these men and women. I am certain they prefer a weekly wage to what they could earn begging.

This is a replacement jacket, the first one is now about 13 years old and the zipper broke. The fabric is still in good shape, so the jacket is a very good quality purchase. It is a nice weight and is very comfortable.

So as you all might know I bought a Special Weapons SW45cal MP5K receiver a while ago. Some of you might have seem the quality of work they put into it....cough cough
Well I'm determined to get it shooting. Cause I've always wanted a MP5K (badass little gun) and I like 45cal. So naturely I had to buy it.
For the last few days I've been looking for any info on how to build this bad boy. So far little luck. I even went and read over at Tom Baily's site where I got even less info...Strange since they built the thing.
Here is what I have so far:
SW receiver Needs some hand fitting but no problem.
.40 cal Front trunion
.40 cal barrel
.40 cal BoltHead complete
.40 bolt carrier
Triple frame with sight
Lower with all .40 cal parts.
Here are some questions I have.
1) Do I need a .40 100 degree locking piece? Or are they all the same for the MP5K
2) I assume I need a .40 firing pin and spring.
3) Anything else I would need that is .40 cal specific?
4) There are no holes for the mag release in the mag well. See picture below. This gun will use M3 grease gun mags that have been modified but I'm not sure how they will stay in place and be released
5) I did a inside measurement of the barrel and of a .45 cal bullet to verify this barrel will shot .45cal. Any thoughts? Did I do this correctly.
6) What holds the triple fram in place on the barrel? I assume I need to drill the upper part of the barrel for the front eylet which should keep it in place. But there seems to be a larger hole directly over the barrel (seen in the pictures below) what's it for?
I have a cocking tube coming from HK dealer and I will instal it and the Front trunion this weekend. Stay tuned for more pics and progess.

'LaFontaine, who will fly in from New York City especially for the ride, befriended many young cancer patients during his years with the Sabres. His participation in the Roswell ride does not surprise the Schwegler family. "Pat is a unique individual, and it has nothing to do with his athletic ability," said Schwegler. "Some human beings give of themselves and ask for nothing in return. For him, it was a no-brainer. Anything he does, he does for children. That is his mission. That's his new life, his new career."'

We're not going to be helped by whatever the decision of the judge," said Richard M. Tobe, a former top Erie County official who was involved in early negotiations with the Rigas family for the project. "It's just a tragedy – a tragedy for the family, company and employees," Tobe added. "And it's a tragedy for Buffalo."'

Some rumored changes – the day after the CBA is signed
'I believe an NHL under a salary cap will benefit fans. In the short term there will be a number of exciting changes, the most likely of which seems to be an entry draft lottery. The NHL will try to crack down on obstruction but as always this effort will be short lived and halfway through the season the crack down will be over. I believe the only lasting changes will be a salary cap linked to league revenues, smaller goalie equipment, and a lowered eligibilty age for unrestricted free agents.'
NHL must look ahead, not back
' It would be a good idea if the NHL came to grips with the fact that it is still a niche sport, so why not go back to rabid hockey cities such as Winnipeg and Quebec City? For that matter why not consider a European Division of the NHL?'

Well, I heard a lot of fans voice their opinions today, (radio 950) and most I heard say its time for Joe to go. What I say - Joe, get to work. No more non-sense. We ain't listening. Go build a team. Back in Carlisle's first year, I immediately started watching every game I could. Joe Dumars had taken a very bad team and plugged a bunch of holes and made it a very promising team. He can do the job. For now, I don't know why he is asleep at the wheel. Everyone tell Joe to wake up, do something to actually improve the team.

Happy Halloween! We celebrated yesterday at WW headquarters with an array of creative costumes from Care Bears to "What does the fox say?" and Snow White and the seven dwarfs to Breaking Bad, but there's nothing more scary to engaged couples than their wedding planning going awry. Spooktacularly, our editors have come up with tips below to help you avoid being a wedding day horror story:
1. Do research before you hire vendors. Check out WeddingWire's vendor reviews to find the perfect match based on your location and preferences. Once one is added to your team, check in and confirm, reiterate directions, emergency contact numbers, and day-of schedule. Prepare final payments and tips ahead of time that way you don't have to remember what is owed to whom on your wedding day.
2. Develop a timeline with ample allowance. Build in enough cushion time for your vendors to set up before the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception begin that way if anything unexpected happens, no one will notice as long as you don't keep guests waiting.
3. Organize your guest list. Create a no-expectations policy (significant others only if they're engaged; no children under 18), if possible, in hopes that your guest list does not become larger than desired and use WeddingWire's guest list tool to keep track of RSVPs.
4. Prepare for inclement weather. Mother Nature can be less-than-ideal — rain, thunderstorms, heat, snow — have a Plan B, especially if you're having an outdoor wedding. Consider a venue with an indoor space or tent as backup. Provide fans that double as ceremony programs to keep guests cool or rent space heaters to keep guests warm.
5. Have an emergency kit on stand-by. Of course, you'll need the essentials like bandaids, pain reliever, and deodorant, but what happens if you have a broken heel, stain, skin breakout, or fallen updo? Have a pair of spare shoes or invest in Shoe Goo for a broken heel, baby powder and rubbing alcohol or white chalk for stains, concealer for cover-up, and bobby pins and hair spray for a fallen updo.
6. Consider having an "unplugged" ceremony. Politely ask your guests and bridal party to turn off all electronic devices, including cell phones, smart phones, and cameras and allow the professional photographers and videographers do their job. You wouldn't want a bridesmaid to update her Facebook status, tweet, or Instagram a picture of you getting ready in your dress before the first look or walk down the aisle, it may ruin the surprise for the groom!
7. Indicate whether you're having a cocktail, buffet, or plated dinner reception. Let's be honest, you don't want your guests' stomachs to growl or your guests to have an allergic reaction to the food. Take note of those who do have special requests.
8. Monitor your speech-givers. Sometimes a toast needs to steer clear of sensitive topics such as exes, religion, or race. And if it's an open bar, they might have calmed their nerves a little too much and could roast you to a crisp. Communicate that this is totally irrelevant and uncomfortable for not only you but your guests listening. A good rule of thumb is to keep it no longer than 5 minutes.
9. Create a playlist for the DJ or band. These songs are meant to be skipped: "Chicken Dance," "Cha Cha Slide," "YMCA," "Macarena," you get the idea.
10. Eat, drink, and be married. Don't go through your wedding day on an empty stomach, pre-order oatmeal with chia seeds for breakfast, salad for lunch and an afternoon snack like trail mix. The oatmeal along with the chia seeds will keep your skin glowing from head to toe, the salad will diminish unnecessary bloating and the trail mix will cure your hunger in between the ceremony and reception dinner. Hydrate with water before you pop the bubbly!

Hi Everyone!
So the bottom line is that I have finished my TELF course with text and talk in Bangkok, Thailand.
I have been teaching English for a year and I want to start teaching TOEFL or IELTS.
I don't know where to start my training to teach this sort of stuff.
I know Text and talk academy has the advance diploma course to prepare teachers to teach TOEFL or IELTS but I'm not sure if it's any good.
Has anyone done this course with text and talk?
Was it worth the money?
About CELTA and DELTA
I already have TELF certificate.
Is it necessary to take the CELTA course.
If it's not necessary would it benefit me in teaching TOEFL or IELTS
Would the DELTA course prepare me to teach TOEFL or IELTS?
Thanky you

This has been bothering me for a few months. I've seen this tubing in several shots, both movie and still, but it's not part of the MoM exhibits.
My original guess was that it's a power line to the chest display. Lucasfilm didn't have Shackman's fabulous light displays back then! I doubt it's a mic line, since his dialog was overdubbed by others.
Any other ideas?

Arsène Wenger has thanked Arsenal's fans for their "fantastic" support this season.
A campaign full of promise has not realised a trophy following a near-miss in the Carling Cup and a strong challenge in three other competitions. Nonetheless the Arsenal supporters have flocked to Emirates Stadium to show their support for Wenger and his players.
The Frenchman is grateful for that and paid tribute to the fans ahead of the final home game of the season against Aston Villa.
"I believe that the fans have been fantastic and they have supported the team," he told Arsenal.com. "We want to wish them well for the break period, thank them for their support for the whole season and hope to see them behind the team soon.
"I feel they can be proud of this team and of the Club, even if we couldn't deliver the silverware that we wanted to deliver this season. Anybody who follows the Club, I believe, can be proud of the Club.
"Trust this team first. I believe we have worked well, we had a very good young team out against Manchester United and looked convincing in our display. Trust this team and trust us to add what is needed."

In October, the core consumer price index, which excludes energy and food prices, increased by 0.2 percent.
Information for Teachers
All paragraphs in italics will not appear in the student version of the inflation case study. This case builds upon the previous inflation case study. More advanced concepts and questions will be added throughout the fall semester.

This lesson uses several charts and tables. You may use these files to create student reproducables or overhead transparencies for use in your classroom.
- Power Point (56 KB)
Goals of the Case Study
The goals of the Inflation Case Studies are to provide teachers and students:
- access to easily understood, timely interpretations of monthly announcements of rate of change in prices in the U.S. economy;
- descriptions of major issues surrounding the data announcements;
- brief analyses of historical perspectives;
- questions and activities to use to reinforce and develop understanding of relevant concepts; and
- a list of publications and resources that may benefit classroom teachers and students interested in exploring inflation.
Definitions of Inflation
Inflation is a sustained increase in the overall level of prices. The most widely reported measurement of inflation is the consumer price index (CPI). The CPI measures the cost of a fixed basket of goods relative to the cost of that same basket of goods in a base (or previous) year. Changes in the price of this basket of goods approximate changes in the overall level of prices paid by consumers.
Data Trends
In October, the Consumer Price Index did not change, after increasing by 0.3 percent in August and in September. In October, increases in the prices of medical care, food, housing, and apparel caused inflation to increase, while a downturn in the prices of transportation (primarily due to reduced fuel costs) balanced those increased prices.
The core rate of inflation (0.2 percent in October) represents the consumer price index without the influences of changes in the prices of food and energy, which can fluctuate widely from month to month. The October increase compares to a 0.1 percent increase in the core rate of inflation in August and in September. Core prices actually increased more rapidly this month than the overall index because energy prices fell.
Figure 1 below shows recent inflation data reported for each month. Inflation increased in 1999 and 2000 when compared to1998, slowed throughout much of 2001, and then has increased slightly in 2002. What is really quite obvious from Figure 1 is that the changes in inflation from month to month are much more dramatic from 1999 on, when compared to 1998. The increased volatility is primarily due to fluctuations in the prices of oil and food. The core rate of inflation (excluding food and energy) gives a much better idea of longer-term trends and that is why it is often featured in news reports. See figure 2.
Compared to the rates of inflation in the 1970s and much of the 1980s, the current rate of inflation is quite low. See figure 3 below. Few observers would describe the most recent rates as high and they are not, when compared to those of the past thirty years. Other observers would describe the current experience as no or zero inflation.
The Consumer Price Index
The seasonally adjusted consumer price index in October was 185.0. The price index was equal to 100 during the period from 1982 to 1984. The interpretation is that prices in market basket of goods purchased by the typical consumer increased from the 1982-1984 period to October 2003 by 85.0 percent.
Inflation is usually reported in newspapers and television news as percentage changes in the CPI on a monthly basis. For example, the CPI in September was 185.0, compared to 184.5 in August. The increase in prices from August to September was ( 185.0 -184.5) / 184.5 = 0.0027 or a monthly inflation rate of .0.27 percent. It is reported to the nearest one-tenth of a percent, in this case, 0.3 percent. To convert this into an annual rate, you could simply multiply by 12. This approximates an annual inflation rate of (0.3) (12) = 3.6 percent. A slightly more accurate measurement of the annual inflation rate is to compound the monthly rate, or raise the monthly rate of increase, plus one, to the 12th power.
|1.002712 = 1.033 or 3.3 %
How the CPI Data are Collected
"The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change in prices over time of goods and services purchased by households. The CPI is based on prices of food, clothing, shelter, and fuels, transportation, fares, charges for doctors' and dentists' services, drugs, and other goods and services that people buy for day-to-day living.
"Prices are collected in 87 urban areas across the country from about 50,000 housing units and approximately 23,000 retail establishments - department stores, supermarkets, hospitals, filling stations, and other types of stores and service establishments. All taxes directly associated with the purchase and use of items are included in the index. Prices of fuels and a few other items are obtained every month in all 87 locations.
"Prices of most other commodities and services are collected every month in the three largest geographic areas and every other month in other areas. Prices of most goods and services are obtained by personal visits or telephone calls of the Bureau's trained representatives." For more information on the Bureau of Labor Statistics, visit ( www.bls.gov ).
A Note on Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data
"Because price data are used for different purposes by different groups, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes seasonally adjusted as well as unadjusted changes each month. For analyzing general price trends in the economy, seasonally adjusted changes are usually preferred since they eliminate the effect of changes that normally occur at the same time and in about the same magnitude every year--such as price movements resulting from changing climatic conditions, production cycles, model changeovers, holidays, and sales.
The unadjusted data are of primary interest to consumers concerned about the prices they actually pay. Unadjusted data also are used extensively for escalation purposes. Many collective bargaining contract agreements and pension plans, for example, tie compensation changes to the Consumer Price Index unadjusted for seasonal variation." (www.bls.gov/cpi/cpisapage.htm )
An Exercise for Understanding the Definition of Inflation
The following question and answer appeared in a recent publication of a major financial firm.
"Have you experienced inflation recently? How was the inflation caused?
"Suggested answer: Recent increases in gas prices; prices of fruits and vegetables varying with seasons; bathing suits costing more in the spring and summer, movie ticket prices being less or more depending on the area…."
Can you evaluate the question and answer?
A better analysis focuses on the definition of inflation. Inflation is a sustained increase in the overall level of prices. In a market economy, prices vary in different seasons and in different areas. There are always some prices increasing and others decreasing as demand and supply conditions change in the markets. Inflation is an increase in average or overall price levels. It is not increases in specific markets or differences in prices in seasons or areas as described in the above question and answer.
Costs of Inflation
Understanding the costs of inflation is not an easy task. There are a variety of myths about inflation. There are debates among economists about some of the more serious problems caused by inflation. A number of exercises in National Council on Economic Education publications, student workbooks, and textbooks should help students think about the consequences of inflation.
- High rates of inflation mean that people and business have to take steps to protect their financial assets from inflation. The resources and time used to do so could be used to produce goods and services of value. Those goods and services given up are a true cost of inflation.
- High rates of inflation discourage businesses planning and investment as inflation increases the difficulty of forecasting of prices and costs. As prices rise, people need more dollars to carry out their transactions. When more money is demanded, interest rates increase. Higher interest rates can cause investment spending to fall, as the cost of investing increases. The unpredictability associated with fluctuating interest rates makes customers less likely to sign long-term contracts as well.
- The adage "inflation hurts lenders and helps borrowers" only applies if inflation is not expected. For example, interest rates normally increase in response to anticipated inflation. As a result, the lenders receive higher interest payments, part of which is compensation for the decrease in the value of the money lent. Borrowers have to pay higher interest rates and lose any advantage they may have from repaying loans with money that is not worth as much as it was prior to the inflation.
- Inflation does reduce the purchasing power of money.
- Inflation does redistribute income. On average, individuals' incomes do increase as inflation increases. However, some peoples' wages go up faster than inflation. Other wages are slower to adjust. People on fixed incomes such as pensions or whose salaries are slow to adjust are negatively affected by unexpected inflation.
Causes of Inflation
Over short periods of time, inflation can be caused by increases in costs or an increase in spending. Inflation resulting from an increase in aggregate demand or total spending is called demand-pull inflation . Increases in demand , particularly if production in the economy is near the full-employment level of real GDP, pull up prices. It is not just rising spending. If spending is increasing more rapidly than the capacity to produce, there will be upward pressure on prices.
Inflation can also be caused by increases in costs of major inputs used throughout the economy. This type of inflation is often described as cost-push inflation . Increases in costs push prices up. The most common recent examples are inflationary periods caused largely by increases in the price of oil. Or if employers and employees begin to expect inflation, costs and prices will begin to rise as a result.
Over longer periods of time, that is, over periods of many months or years, inflation is caused by growth in the supply of money that is above and beyond the growth in the demand for money.
Inflation, in the short run and when caused by changes in demand, has an inverse relationship with unemployment. If spending is rising more slowly than capacity to produce, unemployment will be rising and there will be little demand-pull inflation. If spending is rising faster than capacity, unemployment is likely to be falling and demand-pull inflation increasing.
That relationship disappears when inflation is primarily caused by increases in costs. Unemployment and inflation can then rise simultaneously.
Other Measures of Inflation
The GDP price index (sometimes referred to as the implicit price deflator). The GDP price index is an index of prices of all goods and services included in the gross domestic product. Thus the index is a measure that is broader than the consumer price index.
The producer price index . This index measures prices at the wholesale or producer level. It can act as a leading indicator of inflation. If the prices producers are charging are increasing, it is likely that consumers will eventually be faced with higher prices for good they buy at retail stores.
A Market Basket of Goods and Services
The Consumer Price Index measures prices of goods and services in a market basket of goods and services that is intended to be representative of a typical consumer's purchases. The percentages that are currently used to describe the categories of goods and services that market basket are as follows.
|Food and beverages
|Medical care
|Education and communication
|Other goods and services
Using the CPI as an Inflation Index
The Social Security Administration announced on October 16 that Social Security payments, beginning at the end of December, 2003, will increase by 2.1 percent. Annual changes in Social Security payments are based on changes in the consumer price index. The rate of change in consumer prices from October of one year through September of the next is used to calculate the appropriate change in the Social Security payments for the following year. The purpose of the adjustment is to maintain the real purchasing power of the Social Security payments, that is, to reduce the cost of inflation for those who might otherwise be living on fixed incomes.
Income tax brackets and deductions also change according to changes in the consumer price index. Private contracts often also reference changes in inflation as measured by the consumer price index.
Using the CPI –
- Given the following data, calculate the rate of inflation between 2001 and 2002.
Average per capita disposable income 1998 $ 23,037 2001 $ 25,957
[1.6 percent. 179. / 177.1 = 1.016 or an increase of 1.6 percent.]
- Given the above data, calculate the average rate of inflation between 1998 and 2002.
[ 2.6 percent. 179.9 / 163 = 1.104 or an increase of 10.4 percent. The annual average increase can be approximated by dividing 10.4 percent by four (years) and thus get 2.6 percent per year.]
- Using the above data, calculate average real income in 1998 and 2001. Did real per capita income increase or decrease from 1998 to 2001?
[The real incomes, in 1982-1984 dollars, are calculated as follows:
Real income in 1998 = $23,037 / 1.630 = $14,133.
Real income in 2001 = $25,957 / 1.771 = $14,657.
Yes, real income did increase, but not by almost $3,000, the difference between the nominal incomes. ]
Questions for Students
- What is inflation?
[A continual increase in the average price level. The important points are that most prices or average prices rise and that the increase continues and is not just a one-time increase.]
- Calculate a consumer price index in 2002 for the following market basket of goods (using 2003 as a base year).
2002 3 boxes of cheerios $4.00 each 2 pounds of bananas $1.00 per pound 2 gallons of milk $3.00 per gallon 2003 4 boxes of cheerios $5.00 each 1 pounds of bananas $2.00 per pound 2 gallons of milk $3.00 per gallon
[100. For the base year, the price index is calculated by first taking the 2002 quantities times the 2002 prices. As it is the base year, that number is divided by itself and multiplied by 100. ]
- Calculate a consumer price index in 2003 (using 2002 as a base year).
[125. The price index is calculated by first taking the 2002 quantities times the 2002 prices. The 2003 prices are then multiplied by the 2002 quantities. Then the latter (the amount spent if only the prices change) is divided by the 2002 prices times 2002 quantities and multiplied by 100. ($25/$20) x 100 = 125. The most common mistake will be to calculate the second year with the 2003 prices and 2003 quantities.]
- Given this market basket, what is the annual rate of inflation from 2002 to 2003?
[25 percent. The 2002 index is subtracted from the 2003 index and the difference is divided by the 2002 index. (125-100)/100 = .25 or 25 percent. An easier way, given that the first year is the base year of 100 is simply to compare the two directly. An index of 125 means that prices have gone up by 25 percent since the base year.]
- Suppose the CPI was 150 for July of one year, and was 170 for July of the next year. What is the corresponding annual rate of inflation?
[The rate of increase in prices from over the year can be calculated by dividing the increase in the index by the initial level of the index. (These indexes show a much higher rate of inflation than the actual.)
That is (170 - 150) / 150 = .133 or 13.3 percent. Because this is over a twelve-month period, it is an annual rate of inflation. More difficult interpretations are based on single month changes. The results are normally converted to annual rates of inflation.]
- The base year of the CPI is 1982-1984. What has happened to prices since 1970 if the 1970 index was approximately 80 and if the current CPI were 160?
[A current level of 160 would mean that consumer prices on average are 100 percent higher than their 1970 levels. The percentage increase is (160 - 80) / 80 = 1 or 100 percent. The base year period is not relevant to the calculation.]
- If prices increase by five percent in a year, what effect does this have on the purchasing power of individuals in the economy?
[Students may answer that purchasing power goes down since their money is worth less, and consequently they cannot buy as many goods and services. The value of money does fall. However, they are ignoring that inflation affects wages as well. If average incomes and prices of goods and services have increased by five percent, the purchasing power of average income remains unchanged.]
- What are the costs of increased rates of inflation?
[Large increases in the price level make it difficult for businesses to estimate future levels of revenues and costs of products. This may discourage some businesses from expanding and making investment decisions. In addition, real income may be redistributed as some incomes rise parallel to or faster than rates of inflation and others are slower to rise. Higher inflation rates lead to higher interest rates. As a result, more resources will be devoted to managing financial assets. Those resources could be used in times of lower inflation to produce other goods and services.]

Comeback Attempt Falls Just Short in Season Opener
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
DEKALB, Ill. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Green Bay (0-1) was able to force a deciding fifth set on Friday night after falling behind 2-0 to Northern Illinois (1-0) in its season opener, but the valiant comeback attempt fell just short as the Phoenix ultimately dropped a 3-2 (25-18, 25-13, 22-25, 26-28, 15-11) decision to the host Huskies at the NIU Invitational at Victor E. Court. Friday night also marked the start of Michaela Franklin's head-coaching career at Green Bay.
"I think tonight was a great beginning to our season," said Franklin, who was an assistant at NIU from 2006-08. "I was really proud of the way we fought back after going down 0-2. We got the first-match jitters out, and we showed that we were able to focus in and fight in those situations and push it to a fifth set. It was good for our team to be in that situation, and I told our players that it's only a matter of time before those types of matches will go our way."
After NIU took sets one and two in convincing fashion (25-18, 25-13), the Phoenix rallied with a 25-22 win in the third to cut the Huskies' lead to 2-1. The Phoenix never trailed in the set, opening up an 8-4 lead early and extending its advantage to five (23-18) late. NIU cut it to 24-22 after a kill by Sarah Angelos, but Green Bay was able to force an attack error to close out the win.
The Phoenix evened the match at 2-2 by winning the thrilling fourth set 28-26 – one that saw freshman Shannon Hurley (Connellsville, Penn.) record eight of her team-high 19 kills in her collegiate debut. Five Hurley kills in the early going helped Green Bay to an 8-2 advantage, but NIU was able to rebound and tie the score at 15-15. The two teams went back and forth down the stretch, knotting the score eight more times, including at 26-26, before an NIU service error and a double-block by Leah Van Zeeland (Kaukauna, Wis.) and Taylor Kasal (Westmont, Ill.) finally ended it.
The Phoenix got off to a strong start in the first-to-15 fifth set, jumping out to a 4-0 lead on Mikaela Gunderson's (Casco, Wis.) serve. Green Bay was up 8-7 when the two teams switched sides, but the Huskies scored five of the next six points to go up 12-9. Back-to-back points by the Phoenix cut it to a one-point deficit, but NIU rattled off the final three to win 15-11 and improve to 1-0 on the year.
Van Zeeland joined Hurley in double-figures with 12 kills to go along with her three blocks. Sophomore transfers Jillian Bauer (Verona, Wis.) and Emily Riese (Fond du Lac, Wis.) also had solid Phoenix debuts, as Bauer totaled 22 digs and Riese led all players with 42 assists.
Green Bay returns to action at the NIU Invitational on Saturday with a pair of tough matches against 2012 NCAA Tournament teams. The Phoenix first plays No. 23 Ohio State at noon, and then takes on Liberty at 5 p.m.

that's why i'm against the universal background checks too. the info in current checks was not supposed to be kept. now we find that much has been for "statistical" purposes. the records from the dealers have to be kept for years and are available to the ATF on demand. we already have de facto registration if you buy from a dealer and the universal background checks will seal the deal.

The writer, Taslima Nasrin, has been fighting for women rights in Bangladesh and India for years, but last week there were violent protests by mobs that drove her to flee from the city of Koikata. She noted that "India is my home and I would like to keep living in this country until I die, but the All India Minorities Forum, a Muslim group, demanded she be deported. At the center of hatred against her is the charge that she allegedly told an Indian newspaper years ago there was need for alterations in the Koran in order to provide women with more rights. A court also accused her of "deliberately and maliciously: hurting the feelings of Muslims because her novel, "Laija"(Shame) focused on riots between Muslims and Hindus.
Nasrin has denied making comments about changing the Koran, but she has refused to back down on her fight for women rights. "Women are oppressed in the East, in the West, in the South, in the North. Women are oppressed inside, outside home. Whether a woman is a believer or a non-believer, she is oppressed. Beautiful or ugly, oppressed. Crippled or not, rich or poor, literate or illiterate, oppressed. Covered or naked, she is oppressed. Dumb or not, cowardly or courageous, she is always oppressed."
Any religion which attacks individuals for expressing opinions about religious documents violates the religious and secular rights of the person. Neither mobs nor religious leaders can decide what a human being thinks or feels. Ms. Nasrin has every right to comment about the Koran, the Bible or any other religious piece of writing, she is talking, not taking action against another human. If people don't like what she says, they can refute her comments in the press or write books attacking her, but violence has no place for those who believe in the Koran or the Bible.

Barn sale tradition continues in Dublin
By MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent | July 28. 2013 9:55PM
"You can find old stuff and brand new stuff," said antique collector Amy Lowell of Greenfield at the decades-old barn sale Saturday.
She and her partner, Rick Wible, have had a booth at the barn sale for the past seven years.
It's also a time for visiting with friends, Wible said.
"What we like about (the Yankee Barn Sale) is the number of people that come through," Lowell said.
"I came to buy some trinkets and I walk away with, how long is this, this four-foot long military hardware," he said.
"I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with it, or where I'm going to put it, or why I bought it," he said smiling, indicating he's still very much a satisfied customer.
"It started 32 years ago. It actually started way, way back when we had our own in-house book publishing division," she said.
She took over running the barn sale in 1990 after the company downsized, closing the in-house publishing and the public relations departments.
"We consider it a multi-family yard sale," Clukay said.
"It's a great community event. And it's like old home day, you see people you don't see the whole rest of the year, but you run into just about everybody here," Clukay said.

ATHENS, Ga. -- On the last day of competition, Jake Dorsey dove to an eighth-place finish on the platform event at the Georgia Diving Invitational in Athens, Ga.
"Jake Dorsey was the only Vol competing today and he was a little rusty," head diving coach Dave Parrington said. "It was our first performance on platform after the break and it showed."
Dorsey, a senior captain from Champaign, Ill, tallied 393.90 points earning him eighth-place. Dorsey was in contention and then on his fifth dive, he hit his heel on the platform, causing him to slip behind the field.
For the weekend, Phillip Jones took second-place honors on both the one-meter and three-meter springboards. Dorsey finished with a 12th-place finish on the three-meter, seventh-place on the one-meter and eighth-place on the 10-meter platform. Freshman John Venditti placed 18th on the three-meter and 16th on the one-meter.
Tennessee divers hit the springboards next Jan. 7-12, at the US Open Diving Championships in Bloomington, Ind.

We care for abused and neglected boys who have experienced multiple failed placements and have no place left to go. Our boys are boys without hope; they come to us hurting and in pain. At White Fields, we give them structure and stability. We surround them with love and compassion. Most importantly, we provide them with a place to belong.
Once the boys enter our program, they continue through graduated care levels and may stay permanently until they are adults. As we grow our foster care community, they may also transition to a traditional foster home on-campus, which reinforces a sense of family and provides open access to therapy services. In this way, we help boys heal and prepare them to step out on their own when they reach adulthood.
Our mission is to give hope to boys who have been abused or neglected, empowering them to be productive citizens.

Poor connectivity and file system accessibility is one of the major drawbacks of the iPad series. Things are slowly getting better, although benefiting from this progress demands extra expenditure. Apple has released an HDMI cable for iPads, and with an iPad 2 it'll mirror your iPad's display on whatever (HDMI-enabled) display you connect it to, making it extremely easy to access content and pipe it over to your HDTV.
With a camera connection kit you can also access media files stored on a memory card, but this involves a dangly accessory hanging out of your tablet. With the Eee Pad Transformer, all of this is built-in as standard. There's a microSD slot on the side, and a miniHDMI slot. Plug the keyboard dock in and you'll also have a full-size SD card slot to play with. Asus doesn't include an HDMI cable in the box, but gadgets like this rarely do.
Another feature of the Asus Eee Pad Transformer we find invaluable is the full-size USB on the keyboard dock, which lets you plug in USB sticks and the like. This, and the open file system of Android, makes moving files about an absolute doddle on the tablet. Asus also offers sync software if you're one of the curious few who likes being tied to proprietary software. We prefer doing things directly.
With an iPad of course you have to rely on iTunes - to transfer video and music. For those already using iTunes to organise a music library, this should be no hardship, but if you're yet to enter the Apple ecosystem it does involve a certain level of submission of the Apple machine. Your drag and drop days are over, sonny Jim.
The Asus Eee Pad Transformer isn't quite flawless in the connectivity stakes though - and is beaten by some other Android tablets. There's only a microUSB slot, no full-size USB, on the tablet itself and it uses a proprietary socket for charging - the same socket that slots into the keyboard dock to help secure the joint.
Out of the box, the Transformer positively thrashes the iPad 2 on the flexibility stakes, but the widespread support for Apple's devices has opened-up potential in a rather wonderful way. Take the Akai SynthStation for example, which turns your iPad into a fully-functional synthesiser, or the reams of AirPlay-compatible docks and speakers being released at the moment - you won't be able to stream from an Android tablet to these.
Again, opting for an iPad narrows the paths you can go down in the future, but they're paths lined with flowers and friendly, Walt Disney-style singing animals. Sort of.

AMES, Iowa — Iowa Learning Farms will host a strip-tillage field day at the Robert Lynch farm near Gilmore City on Tuesday, Oct. 23, from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. With today's high fuel prices, cash rents and land costs, there has never been a better time to explore reduced tillage options. Attend the field day to see how strip-tillage works and learn from local farmers who are experienced with this practice.
Strip-tillage marries the best aspects of conventional tillage with the benefits of no-till. Before planting (fall post-harvest, or spring pre-plant) a strip-tillage implement creates strips of tilled soil. Surface residue is left undisturbed between the tilled strips. In the spring, corn or soybeans are planted into the tilled soil strips, which warm and dry faster than the rest of the field, making this system ideal for some Iowa soil types. Landowners and farmers should see better water infiltration, improved soil structure, and potential for reduced fuel, machinery and other crop input costs with the implementation of strip-tillage.
Hear from Robert Lynch and son Jay as well as Mark Thompson who have been practicing strip-tillage for some time. They will share their experiences using this conservation tillage practice. The field day is free and the public is invited. A complimentary lunch is included.
The field day site is located at the Robert Lynch farm, 809 Southeast D Ave., Gilmore City. From Highway 3 just east of Gilmore City, turn south onto Birch Avenue and go 1/4 mile. Turn west on to Southeast D Avenue. The farm is 1/2 mile from Birch Avenue on the north side of the road.

Plan for mail-in Democratic primary faces tight deadline
State Democrats hope to finalize by Thursday a ballot-by-mail proposal that would redo January's presidential primary election in early June and allow Republicans and independents to weigh in on the Democratic nomination.The plan is still being developed and significant hurdles remain, not the least of which is strong opposition by the presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama, as well as the unified opposition of the nine Democrats in Florida's congressional delegation. "All of the House members, Obama supporters, Clinton supporters, neutral, we are united in the fact that we know the mail-in vote is a bad idea. It's not well thought out," said U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor of Tampa, who hopes to bring in former Sen. Bob Graham to help broker a deal. Sen. Bill Nelson, who is advocating the mail vote plan, met with his House colleagues for nearly two hours Tuesday evening and acknowledged afterward that nothing had changed. "I'm still trying to get to a solution so that Florida voters will be heard," Nelson said, "and there is disagreement." If Florida Democrats can come together on a plan, it would be submitted to the Democratic National Committee for approval. Nelson noted that DNC rules require a 30-day comment between the time a plan for seating delegates is submitted and the time when the party's rules committee votes on it, "so there'll be plenty of time to air this out." More than 1.7-million Democrats voted in Florida's Jan. 29 primary that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton overwhelmingly won, but officially that result is meaningless because the DNC stripped away all of Florida's delegates as punishment for scheduling an early primary. The Florida Democrats in Congress (four Clinton backers, two Obama supporters and three undecided) don't want any revote. Instead, they want to negotiate with the Obama and Clinton campaigns to find some agreement that would allow the Florida delegates to be counted. Loads of questions remain about the mail-in idea, including whether private donors can raise nearly $10-million to pay for the ballots and postage as well as the deadline for voters to register as Democrats to participate. Republicans who voted Jan. 29 would be ineligible to vote, but if they didn't already vote in the GOP primary, registered Republicans could change their party to Democratic and participate. Independents also would have to switch to the Democratic Party. Currently, registered Democrats wouldn't have to do anything. "Our obligation is to build the vehicle. Whether or not it's got gas in it … is to be determined,'' said House Democratic Leader Dan Gelber of Miami. "I still think it's probably less than 50-50." Skepticism has been most widespread among supporters of Obama, who could see his delegate lead over Clinton slip if delegates are reinstated to Florida, where Clinton beats him in polls. Obama was one of three co-sponsors of the Vote by Mail Act of 2007 aimed at helping states move to mail voting, though the campaign's concerns about the Florida plan is how hastily it would be arranged. Former state Sen. Les Miller of Tampa said that the party is ill-equipped to run such an election and that minority voters would likely see it as an election rigged to help Clinton. "State party officials have little time to iron out details. The tentative schedule would have overseas military ballots sent by April 19 and all ballots due by June 3. Adam C. Smith can be reached at email@example.com.

got some work done on his fp esb guantlets, i wanted to show em off some...
(Thanks for hosting those pics babe)
Yeah, I finally getting around to working on my gauntlets, in preparation to getting married.
The gauntlets are FettPride I think I bought them in early 2006 The uppers are fiberglass; the lower half is vacuumed formed. Ive bondoed the seam and epoxied nuts on the back of the whip-cord-thingy and the hose-attachment. I than used (stainless steel) alien head screws to mount them to the main body.
I know the metal push buttons are not 100% screen accurate (OH the SHAME!), but I thought they looked a lot better than the toggle switches I see all too often. Also the black push button is not correct, but its the closet I could find. Maybe one day Ill up grade.
The left gauntlet is in the same almost ready to paint condition, I just havent had time to take pics sad thing is when I add up the gauntlets, LEDs, switches, metal darts, metal rocket and machined metal flame thrower Ive got well over $600 invested.
PLEASE somebody put me out of my misery before I spend any more money on this costume!!!
:love :lol
looking good bro!
Get to painting bro. Looking forward to seeing them to completion.
Nice work so far, man...money? thats what this board does, sucks your money! Nice work dood! :thumbsup
