Brevard College Softball 2008 Season in ReviewMay 1, 2008
Brevard, N.C. – The Brevard College women's softball team faced a number of challenges in 2007-08, as the Tornados picked up 13 wins in their second year as provisional members of the NCAA Division II level and their first year as a South Atlantic Conference provisional member.
Like every other team at Brevard College, the women's basketball team faced a tough schedule with the majority of the opponents being NCAA Division II members, including the eight South Atlantic Conference teams in which BC faced because of the fact that the Tornados are in their last season as provisionary members of the SAC.
Under first-year head coach Britne' Stubbs, the Tornados finished the year with 13 wins, 11 wins more than they had last year.
After starting the 2008 spring season with three close losses to Pfeiffer University and Limestone College, the Tornados defeated the Lady Saints of Limestone College in game two of their double-header, which was the first of five straight BC victories.
In their five game winning streak, the Tornados defeated Limestone once and dropped both Virginia Intermont and Montreat College twice to move to 5-3 on the season.
BC then had their winning streak snapped at five games, when the Tornados split the twin bill with Lees-McRae College, losing the first game 4-0 before bouncing back to win the second game 3-2 in eight innings.
After falling in back-to-back games to Milligan College at home on February 24, the Tornados swept Mountain State University to move to 8-6 heading into the heart of their 2008 campaign.
The month of March was not kind to the Tornados, as BC not only battled the weather and had a number of games postponed or cancelled due to rain, but the Tornados posted a record of 0-10 for the month with six of those losses coming against three different South Atlantic Conference foes.
The Tornados slump continued into the early part of April, as again BC had two more double-headers washed out due to bad weather and loss their first six games of April to fall to 8-24 overall, before snapping their losing streak on April 14 with a 2-0 road win over Milligan College.
With the win over Milligan on April 14, the Tornados finished the season with a record of 5-3 over their final eight games, scoring wins over Milligan College, North Greenville, King College, and two over Montreat College to finish the season with a 13-27 overall record.
Offensively, the Tornados were led by junior second-baseman Katie Thornburg (Lincolnton, NC), who batted .298 on the year with a team-high 34 hits and 16 RBIs.
Sophomore third-baseman and designated hitter Jennifer Brown (Conover, NC) and senior utility player Amber Clontz (Hickory, NC) both led the team with two homeruns on the year, while Clontz was also tied for first on the team with eight doubles and second on the team with 15 RBIs.
Short-stop Kristina Clayton (Graham, NC) and senior utility player Lindsey Morgan (Mount Holly, NC) led the Tornados in steals, as both were 11-of-14 in the stolen base department on the season.
In the circle, the Tornados relied on the right arms of both sophomore Jennifer Gift (Durham, NC) and senior Aimee Rogers (Mebane, NC), as the two combined to start 39 of 40 games for the Tornados on the season. Gift finished the season with a team-high eight wins, including three shutouts, on the season, while Rogers had a team-low ERA of 3.78 for pitchers pitching more than one inning on the year.
While the Tornados will lose four seniors – Kristin Tettemer (Newport, NC), Lindsey Morgan, Amber Clontz and Aimee Rogers – head coach Britne' Stubbs is excited about progress that was made over the 2008 season. With the combination of the experienced returners and a strong recruiting class for the 2009 season, the Tornados will look to continue to improve on their overall record as BC heads into full NCAA Division II membership.

True to its name, West Virginia's "Lost River" disappears.
Lost River begins in West Virginia's eastern panhandle. But just a few miles downstream, it flows into a series of caves and is carried underground. Known locally as "the Sinks," these caves shelter the river until it reaches Wardensville, where it emerges under a different name: the Cacapon.

Looking for Lost River? Catch a glimpse in the 3,700-acre Lost River State Park. And if the weather is hiker-friendly, take a trip up to Cranny Crow Overlook, where, at 3,200 feet high, you will be able to see five counties in two states. The park also offers opportunities for horseback riding and swimming.

Azealia Banks compares herself to Kanye West
Listen to Azealia Banks on iHeartRadio
Azealia Banks is drawing comparisons between herself and Kanye West.
In an interview with "Elle" magazine, Azealia says she and Kanye are "like the same person."
Apparently, she believes they're both pulling inspiration from the "same cloud." Apart from them both being Geminis, Azealia says she and Kanye are "the two premier avant-gardists in hip-hop music."
She adds that their consciousnesses are "swirling around each other" in a "weird" way.
Azealia Banks is gearing up to release her debut album Broke with Expensive Taste, which will arrive at the beginning of 2014.

Matt Munisteri will celebrate the release of his new CD "Still Runnin' 'Round in The Wilderness - The Lost Music of Willard Robison Vol l". In the mid 1920's the pianist, singer, composer and arranger Willard Robison began recording a startling series of recordings of his own songs, and in the process became a prototype for that lasting American twentieth century artistic archetype; the singer-songwriter. And yet in the 8 decades which followed none of these unclassifiable recordings have ever been commercially re-issued. The guitarist, singer and songwriter Matt Munisteri has spent years tracking down these original recordings on 78 records and has now not only brought them to light, but has re-imagined them as a body of work rightfully freed from the trappings of era or idiom.

Charles Perry
July 12 at 7:30pm
Charles Perry affectionately known as "Charlie" began singing at the tender age of five, as most great vocalists, his singing career emerged out of the black church. By the age of thirteen, he was featured on the album of Montel Thomas, which hit the Billboards, entering in at number 10. From age sixteen to present, Charles was becoming a teenage sensation, he was the youngest actor to earn a theatre role in Vy Higginson's highly acclaimed musical, "Mama I Want to Sing". While performing in the musical he was offered the opportunity to sing along alongside and grab the attention of singing greats, Grammy Award winners CeCe Winans and gospel sensation Shirley Ceasar, as well as Stacy Francis and Shana both from the "Waiting to Exhale" soundtrack, all while performing live in New York's Madison Square Garden. Charles Perry has toured with R&B legends Regina Belle and Stephanie Mills, and continuing on vocally with Sister act's own Tonya Blount and not to forget Grammy Award winner Lisa Fischer. Charles Perry starred in a play called "This is my song" with Cissy Houston and Tramaine Hawkins. His television credits include the David Letterman show, as well as the Michael Jackson 25th Anniversary Special. He's sung background with such artist as Liza Minelli, the late great Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Luther Vandross, not to mention Usher, 98 Degrees and Marc Anthony. Charlie was also blessed to have worked with Rap Icons "De La Soul" and was featured on their album "The Grind" which he appeared on their hit song "Reality". Charlie has also recorded with Stellar Award Nominee James Hall & Worship and Praise at Foxwoods. He's toured the U.K. with John Legends recording artist "Estelle". Many people compare me, many try to label me, but through it all, I'm just Charles Perry and I got next. Period…
CENTRAL EUROPEAN WORLD MUSIC with
July 13 at 7pm
The Hungarian Cultural Center, NY and Centrum Management present Central European World Music: a fascinating world music experience blending Eastern and Central European folk music from the exceptional European artists, Kálmán Balogh Gypsy Cimbalom Trio, from Budapest
Kálmán Balogh is one of the foremost Hungarian cimbalom players, descending from a famous dynasty of Hungarian Gypsy musicians. His virtuosity is matched only by his understanding and respect of his heritage. A graduate of Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music of Budapest, he has completed many successful tours throughout the world with various ensembles, including well over a dozen tours in North America. The cimbalom, a sort of oversized hammer dulcimer played with mallets like a vibraphone, possesses piano like percussive abilities to drive a band rhythmically or take the melodic lead. In Kálmán Balogh's expert hands, the cimbalom can do both simultaneously. His mastery of this unique and rare Hungarian folk instrument has mesmerized audiences.
Kálmán Balogh Gypsy Cimbalom Trio is the dynamic merging of music from the old and new worlds. Balogh continues a fabled European musical tradition harking back to the collaboration of masters like gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grappelli, connecting ancient folk music traditions of Central and Eastern Europe with the chord progressions and swinging rhythm of jazz. Balogh's cimbalom becomes a new and compelling voice centering the Trio, which is enhanced by acoustic violin/viola and acoustic bass. Similarities in jazz and traditional folk music, such as improvisation and a kaleidoscope of emotional expressions, are immediately evident.
The Trio includes excellent musicians who have worked with Balogh extensively. Robert Lakatos, a viola and violin player from Slovakia, is steeped in classical music training and played with important classical orchestras, but always gravitated toward folk and world music. He plays in several groups ranging from classical to folk and jazz genres. Robert's band, the RÉV, has become a popular band in Hungary and Slovakia. Bassist Csaba Novák is one of the most versatile bass players in Hungary, familiar with gypsy style, klezmer, folk music, jazz and world music.

Xavier welcomes 180 local schoolchildren to campus for its annual event, A Xavier Christmas
Children visit with Santa in addition to enjoying arts and crafts and a tree-lighting ceremony | December 7, 2011
Xavier kicks off the holiday season this week with its annual student-run event, A Xavier Christmas, on Wednesday, Dec. 7, when about 180 elementary school students arrive on campus in the late afternoon for treats and a visit with Santa.
Each child is accompanied by one or more Xavier students who are their "buddies," leading them around campus for games and holiday crafts. In addition to meeting with Santa, the children also have an opportunity to see a live Nativity scene on the Xavier Yard, formerly the Greenspace.
Every year the Physical Plant staff creates a breathtaking lighting display around campus with strands of lights wrapped around trees and light poles, hoping to dazzle the visiting children. The children are also entertained by a performance by the Xavier's men's a cappella singing group, Harmon-X. Before they leave, Al Bischoff, S.J., joins them at the Sally Watson tree outside the new Fenwick Place residence hall for a special tree-lighting ceremony.
Xavier faculty, students and staff have collected new hats and gloves to be distributed to the children in attendance and sent to other children in need.


text: 'No More Food Fights' Seeks Civil Plate Dialogue March 11, 2013 12:00 AM Tweet The new book "No More Food Fights" by author and lifelong farm girl Michele Payn-Knoper aims to promote positive dialogue between food producers and consumers. © Michele Payn-Knoper TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Nate Birt Top Producer Managing Editor Email A new book lets readers literally flip the conversation between food producers and consumers while laying the groundwork for positive relationships. Above all, people on both sides of the equation should view their counterparts as human beings first, says Michele Payn-Knoper, the author of "No More Food Fights" and a lifelong farm girl. "If we actually were proactive and went out and developed relationships with people as human beings, we would actually be able to put points on the scoreboard," says Payn-Knoper, comparing the ability to successfully lead proactive conversations about food to successful leadership on the basketball court. (The Michigan State University graduate is a big fan of the Spartans and men's basketball coach Tom Izzo.) In her mind, food is a personal choice. No one should dictate what a person eats, nor should anyone dictate how farmers care for their land or animals. So it's important to connect people on the food side of the plate—think food buyers, foodies, dieticians and microbiologists—with people such as farmers, ranchers and agribusiness professionals on the production side, Payn-Knoper says. That's why "No More Food Fights," released on Valentine's Day this year, is composed creatively: One side features farmers and other production experts talking to the food audience about the six senses they can use to learn more about where their food comes from. The farm audience can then flip the book upside down and turn it over to read observations from people who are on the food side. Each section pivots around a common chapter describing how readers can connect at the center of the plate. In all, "No More Food Fights" features more than 50 personal stories including that of Payn-Knoper and writing from 35 contributors. "I took stories (from) the people from the farm side and allowed them to share their story on the food side, and then likewise on the farm side I had a chef, an Olympic athlete, dietitians, a health care representative and foodies share their perspective," she says. For Payn-Knoper, a professional speaker, the book is deeply personal and is intended to advance conversation about agriculture. Conflict between food producers and consumers has arisen in part because of intense interest about food and subjects such as local production, organic versus conventional farming and biotechnology. Additionally, she says, declining farm populations mean fewer people in agriculture are responsible for correcting misinformation and being increasingly proactive about outreach in the face of ever-growing activist pressure. Another way the author aims to break down barriers in her book is by including a four-page glossary at the end of the food side that explains terms such as irrigation pump, heifer and steer. The book's cover features a broken plate whose cracks form a peace sign. "My point is, really, translate agriculture to food people and food interests to agriculture," she says. Social media remains an important component to building that conversation. Payn-Knoper located several of the experts in "No More Food Fights" through the #agchat and #foodchat discussions she founded, and continues to help the AgChat Foundation moderate, on Twitter. The AgChat Foundation hosted its first regional conference in late February in Minneapolis, and a national conference is planned Aug. 22-23 in Charlotte, N.C. It's a volunteer farmer-led organization, she says. Outlets such as Twitter and Facebook can serve as a looking-glass into people's thoughts on farm and food. "It's the coffee shop, church parking lot and the local pub all wrapped up in one," Payn-Knoper says. Click here to order Payn-Knoper's book from her website, causematters.com. The book is also available from Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other booksellers.

bah says the pic is too big to post. anyway here's the link:
since Wand turned up at the UFC his staredowns have been lacking. he has come across like a kindly uncle who has popped round to do some gardening in comparison to his fearsome former self.
I hope he can reclaim that nastiness back in Japan. hopefully he'll have some evil-muscle-memory or whatever.
Stann must be a huge favourite. I really hope Wand is OK, but better still if he could win and then retire, that would be the best thing ever.

Thanks, Im going to need this !
Good job
To enable "non-US" channels on your wireless card under BT4 (and the new mac80211 stack):
You will need to download a few packages, and programs to enable use of the upper channels of the 802.11b/g spectrum:
download crda and the latest wireless-regdb, both of which can be found at:Code:apt-get install python-m2crypto libgcrypt11 libgcrypt11-dev
Next, extract the wireless-regdb contents:
and copy the file "regulatory.bin" to /usr/lib/crda/Code:tar xvjf wireless-regdb-2008.11.17.tar.bz2 (latest file when I tried this)
Next, untar the CRDA tarball you downloaded:Code:mkdir /usr/lib/crda cp regulatory.bin /usr/lib/crda/
change dir to the resulting crda directory, compile and install:Code:tar xvjf crda-1.0.1.tar.bz2
Copy the file regulatory.rules found in the udev subdirectory under crda to /etc/udev/rules.d/85-regulatory.rulesCode:cd crda-1.0.1 make && make install
Now, you should be able to set your country code using iw:Code:cd udev cp regulatory.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/85-regulatory.rules
(where ## is the ISO Alpha2 code for your country such as DK for Denmark)Code:iw reg set ##
This should open up all the channels that are usable in your particular country.
Use iw to see what frequencies/channels are available:
Code:iw list
Thanks, Im going to need this !
Good job
Thx cybersnper!
Really needed this but there seem to be some typos in what you did here. The problems I am had are the following.
After the first typo on the tar xvzj wireless-regdb-2008.11.17.tar.bz2 – Just a typo. I make the make the dir "crdu" under /usr/lib/ … cool cool. From the untared folder I just copy the new regulatory.bin to the new /usr/lib/crda folder , np.
This is where I don't quite follow you. I now go into /usr/lib/crda and run
make && make install ? All that is in there is the regulatory.bin that I cp over into that folder. Can't find any subdirectory "udev"under crda ether.
I tried this using the same exact wireless-regdb-2008.11.17.tar.bz2 (not the newest one) that you used on BT4.
I am sure I could just go into http://linuxwireless.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA and fix this in no time but maybe others might fall into some of the pitfalls that I did if they follow your tut. Don't want to be a butt wad but this is a "BT4beta HowTo's"
All the best
Let me explain officer, I am not a hacker. I am a security tester of sorts!
Thx cybr! Reads like a charm now!
Was wondering if you are having the same problems as I have. Everything works fine until I reboot. Then all falls to default. Working off a 32GB USB...yeah I can save. After a quick look it would seem that the kernel is having problems speaking to the userspace events. Or that CRDA is not called right. I am not really sure.
played a little with to see what was up etc.
# udevadm monitor --environment kernel
I can fix this by just doing the following at every reboot
# cp regulatory.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/85-regulatory.rules
# iw reg set SE
This one has me stumped. Any ideas?
Best to ya!

I haven't noticed any problem. The rules are still in the /etc/udev/rules.d folder after reboot. I'm in the U.S. so I never worried about how to get it to set to a different regulatory domain permanently. I would guess that you could put the "iw reg set SE" statement into rc.local though.
I'm assuming of course that you are using a distro build that allows changes (i.e. not a live CD/USB).
lol you are assuming right I am using a 16 GB USB that I can save on. No big deal if I quickly need to chuck it into the microwave. I am sure I did something bionicly retarded when I borked the first install. Actully I just only have to do the " iw reg set SE" part.I'm assuming of course that you are using a distro build that allows changes (i.e. not a live CD/USB).
All the best
Let me explain officer, I am not a hacker. I am a security tester of sorts!
I get this:
root@bt:~# iw reg set DK
nl80211 not found.
What's wrong?

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That section 1 of the Act of July 24, 1956 (70 Stat. 625), is hereby amended to read as follows:
"That (a) the Secretary of the Interior is authorized and directed to pay the sum of $3,500 to each of the following Indians or their estates: Edith Apple Bear, Ephriam Brafford, Catherine Jones Brewer, Lamont Cook, Eloise Ruff Garnett, Jake Harvey, Ambrose Hernandez, Floyd F.

"(c) The payment of such sums shall be in full satisfaction of all claims of the aforementioned Indians against the United States for compensation for damages sustained by them as a result of the taking by the Department of the Army in 1942 of certain land owned by the Pine Ridge Sioux Tribe of Indians, South Dakota, for use as an aerial gunnery range.
"(d) Sums paid pursuant to this Act shall not be taxable and shall not be subject to any liens except for debts owned to the United States or to Indian organizations indebted to the United States."
Notwithstanding the provisions of section 1 of the Act of July 24, 1956, as amended by section 1 of this Act, no person to whom had been paid the compensation provided for in said Act of July 24, 1956, as it existed prior to its amendment, shall be entitled to receive compensation under said Act as amended.

I would say it all depends on what area interests you the most. The best career advice I read was from Thomas Wilhelm's pen-testing book. Which was in a nutshell become a guru in one of three main areas i.e: Network Architecture, System Administration, Applications and Databases. Then further specialize & get certifications based on what you enjoy the most.
In my research, trying to shift from general I.T into InfoSec/pen-testing myself. Security+ from CompTIA, is a decent first cert. It's seen as a spring-board towards other higher certifications. Any of the Offensive Security certs, I've heard nothing but positive comments about. As far as getting/holding security related jobs. CISSP seems the #1 to aim for these days.
Of course that's just my view in very broad terms. Depending where your interests are. Will help narrow down what certifications you may want to get. There isn't any right/wrong cert to get IMO.

The Government makes grants and provides funds for the purchase, construction, and/or major renovation of State and local government physical properties. Cost for non-Federal physical property programs are included as expenses in the Statements of Net Cost and are reported as investments in Table 11. They are measured on the same accrual basis of accounting used in the Financial Report statements. DOT, HUD, and DOD had $55.2 billion (83 percent), $5.7 billion (9 percent), and $2.1 billion (3 percent), respectively, of the total non-Federal physical property investments in fiscal year 2010 as shown in Table 11. Within DOT, the Federal Highway Administration invested $41.5 billion during fiscal year 2010, primarily via reimbursement from the Highway Trust Fund, for States construction costs of interstate and national highways. The States contribution is 10 percent for the Interstate System and 20 percent for most other programs.

Profanity? Insanity!
Any chance that we can have a ban on profanity on uncyclopedia? The f word is such a lame way of trying to be funny. Just a suggestion from a former sailor-mouthed loser. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Refreshing2924 (talk • contribs)

Quote on mainpage suggestion
There should be a quote on the main page that parodies the one on wikipedia at the moment. 'I am so grateful for your wonderful site - Anonymous'. I think the one on here should be 'I am so ungrateful for your shithouse excuse for a site - Anonymous'. I don't know how to add it though so someone else can do it.
- The problem is that the Anonymous quote changes every page you go to. However, a parody of the whole template would be good. --YeOldeLuke 14:06, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Great, someone took my suggestion, now to sit back in self satisfaction and stroke my inflated ego.
Ahhhhhhh..... ego stroking.
Why is the logo an 'X'? I liked the original one better. This new logo looks stupid.
Yeah, i agree, this one looks idiotic

Featured Picture of the Day
IMO, the "of the day" part is a touch misleading, as the picture is selected randomly with each page load. Could it be changed to "Featured Picture" or some such? EugeneKay wuz here (whine thank) 16:51, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
There's a typo in the recently featured section; somebody forgot to put another "]". --YeOldeLuke 04:11, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. It wasn't a typo, turns out page titles can't have a comma in. For reasons I can't be bothered explaining. Worked around it for now, but should be fixed properly when DPL is updated. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 10:25, 08 Sep 2007
- Ah, but I can be bothered. I searched and found it! There's a chunk of wiki-code that expects a comma-separated list. The comma in the article title screws up the code. EugeneKay wuz here (whine thank) 16:49, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, that ;) The latest version of DPL will allow the template to be parsed after the comma is expected and has been processed, so commas in titles will not affect it. It could also be used to fix the bug in the link to the featured one year ago today's revision, but I don't know if that should be fixed. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 03:21, 11 Sep 2007

The sudden change in site design, while comical in certain circumstances, annoys me more than provides for humor. Perhaps its just my natural disdain for anything related to the idiots at Fox, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, BBC, and every other "mass news media" station, but this Main page does not work for me.

This user account has been created by a member of the MediaWiki foundation. I find this project to be amusing. However, as you are most likely aware, all websites created with MediaWiki are subject to frequent vandalism and other undesired content. I am here to test your skills at combating these annoyances. Please do not be alarmed. Your instructions are as follows:
- Respond to this comment within the next 30 minutes to confirm that you are ready.
- I will "vandalise" random pages, so be ready. Your efforts will be timed by me and the results will be analyzed by the MediaWiki foundation. The results will be given to you when the analysis is complete.
- You must respond as you would to a real vandal. If you would warn him first, do so before blocking this account!
- Set the block time for this account to 24 hours. If you block this account for more than that time or without an expiration, you will have immediately failed your audit.
Please allow at three days for us to analyze your audit, but we will give you the results absolutely no later than in seven days. If you have a specific person or administrator that you want us to send the results to, please specify this in your reply to this message.
Remember that your wiki website has been picked randomly out of the most contributed to wiki sites on the web.
Thank you for your attention! We are excited to see these wiki sites grow.
Thanks, --MediaWikiAuditor 03:44, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- Well, this is different. This ought to be interesting, as I've noticed vandalism around here is more constructive than destructive. How does that factor in to the results? --Ekashp 03:59, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- We've factored that into our Audit. We unanimously agreed that most of the "vandalism" that will be used in the audit will involve just blanking pages, or possibly breaking policies. But then again, you won't know. Just wait another 23 minutes or so until the audit begins. Thanks for replying to my information! --MediaWikiAuditorsend me questions regarding audits 04:04, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Audit results
Hello, Uncyclopedia users and administrators,
As you remember, an audit was performed on your website several days ago. After presenting the results to the members of the Wikimedia foundation, we are ready to share them with you:
Here are the details:
- Quick block: 1/1 (you blocked the previous account within 5 minutes)
- Quick restoration of vandalized page(s): 1/1
- Blocking according to specifications: 0/4 (the previous account was blocked indefinately)
- Warning system: 0/1 (you gave no warning before blocking the previous account)
- Communication with other users regarding blocking and/or vandalism activity: 1/2 (you communicated that the previous account was blocked, but no that it was going on)
- Blocked in accordance to policies: 1/1
As you see above, what really detracted from your score was the block time issued. Perhaps this was a software error? Or maybe there needs to be more help pages on using the interface? These are common problems that cause this loss of points. I reccommend that you definately look into that. Finally, remember that communication is key to blocking vandals! Keep in contact and let people know when there is a problem.
Thank you very much for your time. --MediaWikiAuditorResults 03:24, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Oh, by the way, it is unlikely that people who respond on IRC will know about auditing. Few people have been briefed on this and if those who have been briefed are on IRC, they have been instructed not to inform you that they are auditors or give details regarding audits on a public chatroom.
- God told me to block it infinitely. Can I get points for that? • Spang • ☃ • talk • 03:31, 17 Apr 2007
- Allow me to fix the errors in the report.
- Quick block: 1/1 (you blocked the previous account within 5 minutes)
- Quick restoration of vandalized page(s): 1/1
- Blocking according to specifications: 5/4 (the previous account was blocked indefinately, which is in fact, what we do with vandalism-only accounts - not to mention God approves)
- Warning system: 1/1 (you gave no warning before blocking the previous account, like one was required)
- Communication with other users regarding blocking and/or vandalism activity: 2/2 (It's called the "block log")
- Blocked in accordance to policies: 1/1
- So as you can see, we did pretty damn well. Now GTFO. —Major Sir Hinoa prepare for trouble • make it double? 03:32, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Audit of Auditor: Results
As you probably didn't know, you were actually being audited on your auditing skills here. I'll give you the rundown of the results here:
- Believability: 1/10 (Your formatting was OK, but "mediawiki foundation" is just inexcusable)
- Vandalism attained: 0.2/10 (You blanked one page, which was reverted within seconds)
- Persistance: 6/10 (You came back even after the initial block and disbelief, still in character)
- Humour value: 4/10 (You were kind of amusing, but not laugh out loud funny)
- ???: 7/10 (Good ???)
- Profit: 0/10 (No profit attained)
Thank you very much for your time. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 04:02, 17 Apr 2007
- That's awesome. I don't know why, but every time I read "no profit attained" I crack up laughing. User:Wehpudicabok/sig 22:06, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Audit of Audit of Auditor: Resultseses
As nobody knows, all audits of auditors are audited. Here's the preliminary results:
- Self-reference: 5/10 (Needs more auditing of itself)
- Sensibility:8/10 (It was readable. HOW?!!??!!?)
- Creativity: 7/10 (Auditing a fake auditor is good for a quick laugh, but then to have that audit audited is just nasty. Terribly sorry)
- ...
- Profit
I hate smileys.

What's going on with Croatian uncyclopedia?
Does anybody know why Croatian uncyclopedia ( Neciklopedija ) doesn't work for a few days? Is there some problems and does anybody know when will it be fixed? Beforehand thanks for answer. Here is the link: http://hr.uncyc.org/
- I'm not sure, but it could be related to having the same name as the Serbian one. Again, I'm not sure. Something similar is happening to the Gothic one, it could also be that they're new wikis. User:Smiddle/sig 10:13, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Hmmm... It is possible that problem is connected with the same name as the Serbian one, but what does it mean; does it mean that Croatian uncyclopedia should change here page's name or what? - The same problem with loading had have Serbian uncyclopedia and Magyar uncyclopedia before two or three days, but today theirs pages are working. And I can see that Ghotic, ไร้สาระนุกรม and 伪基百科uncyclopedia still doesn't work. - Do you know will someone from uncyclopedia.org fix this problem with Croatian uncyclopedia?
- A whole bunch of these were moved to a new server and new MediaWiki version mid-week; long-overdue as they outgrew the old server months ago. At one point during the upgrades Gothic and Croatian were redirecting to UnCommons, thankfully that much seems to be back to normal now. Simplified Chinese (uncyclopedia.wikiachina.cn) is still completely broken, but that's unrelated (a Wikia problem) and hasn't worked at all for at least half a month now. --184.108.40.206 13:27, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

The famous words "FUCK THE RICH!!!" is no more... thanks to the new eye liquid called "BEANS" and including awful spelling errors e.g. BEORNS!, FLEAS!, (more famously known is) OUCH A FINCH ATE MY ARSE! 5 more queer nerds started a food fight with only a clam full of these fantastic new "anchors"
A man of much wealth called Mr bean has died a crotch-wetting incident where he swore the god's name in vein then Jesus ended up eating him alive. Jesus then got incinerated alive by Garurumon, who then spontaneously combusted after the christis.
The first man to the moon was a bean! horrific news for everyone who like sprouts!!! 99.9% of all queen bees have lost their teeth in the first world war. few minutes later the bean had crapped into the nearest crater making no faint whistling noises which made his pet dog bleed to death.

You blokes at Uncyclopedia seem to be falling behind. Wikipedia seems to have a brilliant idea of requested pages. Say, I want a page on Green Beans? Wikipedia handles it perfectly. Well, not really, they yelled at me quite nastily and spit flew in my face and they told me to just look up beans, but if someone wants to look at something funny on Uncyclopedia and its not there, what are they gonna do?

Religious subjects--not funny
I noticed that the Uncyclopedia contains a lot of articles that supposedly make fun of Christianity. For example, there are "funny" articles on God, Jesus, and other key elements of Christianity. I also noticed that they also make fun of other beliefs in Christianity, like the Paul Bunyan article, which pokes fun at creationism (Christians do not believe that the Grand Canyon and other geographical details occur through millions of years, but through the Great Flood). The article on the Giant Spaggheti Monster makes fun of Christian worship. And there are articles that make fun of the Pope, the Cross, baptism...
Not many articles make fun of other religions, at least not to my knowledge. But there are dozens that make fun of Christianity. Why? Please try and make your so-called funny articles less offensive. There are such things as clean, inoffensive jokes on religions. Those articles are not among them.
Before you reply that those who object to religious jokes are narrow minded, racist, or discriminate others, try publishing a "funny" article on Islam, Allah, or the Prophet Muhammad, and see if you can get away with it.
- Well for starters, you can peruse the religion category (which contains over 700 articles) and then go for Islam, Allah, and Muhammed, or Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism. You can't say that there aren't articles covering practically every well known religion.
- I'm going to have to object to your statement that people who object to religious humour aren't narrow minded. Who are you to say that that subject isn't funny, and should be steered clear of? Is it OK to have articles on cancer and rape and generally bad things? Who decides where the line should be drawn?
- If you start removing jokes because they might offend Christians, what about people who are offended by other non-religious things? What about someone who is offended by the You have two cows series, because by its nature it relies on stereotypes to make the joke? Why should you have any more right than them to censor that potentially offensive material just because it's your religion?
- When it comes to humour and especially satire (which is what we aim for generally, where possible) either nothing is out of bounds or everything is. That's how free speech works. You have your right to be offended when someone makes fun of something relevant to you, as you should, but you do not have the right to stop them saying it, or stop other people being either amused or offended by it.
- Humour is always subjective, so if you feel the articles are of terrible quality, regardless of the subject matter, you can vote them for deletion. If the articles are of bad quality, people will also vote it for deletion, and the article will be removed. But if you want them removed simply because of the subject matter or because they offend you, it isn't going to happen.
- You're welcome to try and write a tame version of any article you like, and see if people prefer it over what's there. But what about people who will get offended by the fact that the article even exists, or that you tried to make any joke at all involving that subject? Should you take their opinions into account?
- As I said before, either nothing is out of bounds, or everything is. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 09:39, 10 Jun 2007
- I second everything that Spang said, and would like to add that I am deeply touched that my article about Paul Bunyan was amongst the articles that you thought should be...censored or whatever. --THE 23:45, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Immature humour
I don't know whether this is just me, but I find that there are a lot of witty things said here, and a lot of jokes that make you laugh, but some pages have some of the worst jokes which are just made by immature humour, which is usually just swearing. Some pages just have jokes made up of swear words on them, and it's not funny. Saying totally random stuff is funny, but sometimes it just isn't, like I read somewhere "Haydn was also the inventor of rice". I don't see how this is funny. Could some people please edit bits like these, as it's just people putting immature stuff which they believe people will laugh at because they said "fuck" at least three times in the sentance.
- Fuck, fuck, fuck.....where to begin? The previous section makes the statement that humour is subjective, and I think that holds true here. Although many people here aim to make biting satire, quality humour I think we need to recognise that humour is a broad term and covers many different genres. Who's better, Lenny Bruce, Monty Python or Billy Crystal? Immature humour has its place, and I think we do aim to cover all the bases here. Having said that, a quick look through our Featured Content section will possibly demonstrate how most people view "whats funny" here. By all means try to improve articles, we possitively push for that, but don't judge the Hercules by the foot.... -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)
Go here my dear friend 126.96.36.199 00:53, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
I know what you mean, and I understand that other people have different types of humour, and I'm not trying to imply that mine is the "true" humour or anything, but what I'm protesting against is like the article above called "Beans". It just doesn't seem like something that people would find funny.

- Agreed. Innovations in Comedy fell off the front page far too soon! -- » Sir Savethemooses Grand Commanding Officer ... holla atcha boy» 06:18, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- That particular template was where the bad bad database errors that crashed wikia came from (as soon as it started listing you know who), so it was temporarily kept out when the featured article template was put back.
- I've since re-written it to be much better, except it won't display the pages in the right order (it displays alphabetical, rather than the actual order they were featured in) until wikia updates DPL, so was waiting for that. But I could put it back now if the wrong order is fine.

As soon as wikia update DPL, it'll go back to being in the right order again. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 07:39, 05 Oct 2007

- Well, you see the problem is that the universe is just going to explode, due to the nature of trying to find something that was featured on a non-existent day. As such, we'll put nothing there, considering there won't be any front page to put it on...since it will be blown up and such...doesn't leap year only happen once every five years anyways? Isn't the next one scheduled for 2010? -RAHB 06:09, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
- I believe that this is the appropriate time for an article on Leap Day - A national holiday during which suicide is not only legalized, but very strongly encouraged. --THINKER 06:39, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
- The silly answer to your question is that the feature for Febrary 28th will be shown again, as that template was made keeping the fact that features used to be every two days in mind. And if there wasn't a feature on the day specified, it'll use the day before instead. And if there isn't one there, it just won't show anything at all.
- The serious answer to your question is that yes, the world will explode whenever a leap year happens. Which it totally every 5 years. Don't ask what happens in a leap century. Just remember to avoid uncyclopedia when the year 2329½ comes round. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 18:45, 14 Nov 2007

AC/DC is finally breaking its silence about the future of the band and the health of guitarist Malcolm Young.
In a message posted on their website Wednesday, the veteran Australian rockers confirmed that co-founder Young is indeed ill and "taking a break" from the band.
AC/DC says it will continue however, despite the setback. The message also shared Malcolm's thanks to the group's "diehard legions of fans worldwide for their never-ending love and support." It also asked fans to respect Malcolm's privacy at this time, adding, "The band will continue to make music."
The statement did not say what illness had set Malcolm back, although fellow musician and friend Mark Gable told an Australian radio station this week that it was "quite serious."
The 61-year-old Young founded AC/DC with his brother Angus in Sydney, Australia in 1973. His guitar-playing became a signature sound for AC/DC and helped the band become one of the biggest-selling rock bands in music history. AC/DC's most recent studio album, Black Ice, was released in 2008.

I have been doing some reading on the current issue about the black screen after startx. I have attempted the fix with the i915 and as well as deleting the kcache from the .kde directory.
I have downloaded both versions KDE and GNOME. I have a 64 bit processor and no matter what version I attempt I am getting the same error. However I am not seeing instructions based on the screenshots I have taken.
The ONLY way I am able to get to the prompt is by selecting the option Backtrack NoDRM. This will take me to the prompt where I can browse files, and as soon as I enter startx I get nothing but a black screen.
Please take a look at the screenshots I attached. I have pressed TAB on every option so you can see what is able to be edited with each choice. If anyone can point me in the right direction as to what I should replace these lines with it would be awesome! I attempted to type the Xorg -configure command and it goes through but after entering startx its the same ol black screen.

New Jersey Symphony Presents Beethoven's PASTORAL, Now thru 1/20
The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra and Music Director Jacques Lacombe present Beethoven's "Pastoral" Sixth Symphony on a program that celebrates three generations of Viennese composers. NJSO Principal Trumpet Garth Greenup performs Haydn's Trumpet Concerto, and the Orchestra performs Brahms' Variations on a Theme by Haydn.
"This program was created with the idea of the baton passing from Haydn to Beethoven to Brahms," Lacombe says. "Haydn was the father of the symphony and influenced Beethoven's life; Brahms was [in many ways] the direct successor of Beethoven. To include Brahms' piece inspired by Haydn brings the program full circle."
Of presenting one of the Orchestra's principal musicians as a soloist, Lacombe says: "There is an amazing amount of talent in this Orchestra. To give a musician like Garth the room to express himself as a soloist is a great opportunity for our audiences to hear the artistry of our musicians. The NJSO musicians give incredible support to their colleagues [who perform solo], and I think that pride and support add to the excitement of a performance."
Performances take place tonight, January 18, (7:30 p.m.) at the War Memorial in Trenton, Saturday, January 19, (8 p.m.) at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank and Sunday, January 20, (3 p.m.) at bergenPAC in Englewood.
TICKETS Tickets start at $20 and are available for purchase online at www.njsymphony.org or by phone at 1.800.ALLEGRO (255.3476).

NJSO Music Director Jacques Lacombe is renowned as a remarkable conductor whose artistic integrity and rapport with orchestras have propelled him to international stature.

He served for three years as Music Director of both orchestra and opera with the Philharmonie de Lorraine in France; he has been Music Director of the Orchestre Symphonique de Trois-Rivières since 2006.

In the 2012-13 season, Lacombe conducts the Opéra de Nice in an all-orchestra program and leads subscription weeks with the symphony orchestras of Québec, Toledo and Montreal, the last in a program of Bernstein and Debussy with pianist Kirill Gerstein; he also makes his Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra debut.

High School Really Sorry About 'Trail of Tears' Taunt
(NEWSER) – A central Alabama high school's principal yesterday explained that the person tasked with approving all football banners is out on maternity leave. And so this is what happened at McAdory High School in McCalla on Friday in her absence: The cheerleading squad made a massive "bust-thru" sign designed to taunt their second-round state playoff opponents, Pinson Valley High, and its mascot, which read: "Hey Indians, Get ready to leave in a Trail of Tears Round 2." Yes, that is indeed a reference to the forcible and deadly removal of Native Americans from the Southeast, and no, it hasn't gone over well.
