text: Hi, First off, I spent now a shitload of time trying to get PSX backups working on my fat PS2. First I thought it would be enough to softmod it, by using Free MC Boot and the PSXLauncher Elf, but how I figured out after buying all the required stuff, it just works on v9 consoles or newer ones [yes dumbness, but at least I could play PS2 backups now ^_^]. But well, that's not what I want. Here's a list of things I already own now, what will lead right to my questions: Fat Playstation 2 -- pretty sure it's a v6 [scph-30004 r] Free MC Boot with all useful Elf's like uLaunch -- YES Slide Card Skills -- YES PSX Trigger Disc -- Well, that's a little problem, I only got Tekken 2 (PAL) what got a pretty little TOC[Soundtrack] I guess, and a Demo disc (also PAL). Action Replay MAX for PS2 -- Used it to install Free MC Boot, but I think it'll be useless to play PSX backups Okay, so as I know that's not enough to play PSX backups on an PS2 console below version 9 but I have the option to get a original CD of Breaker Pro v1.1. I read that it is possible to play PSX backups with it, but I don't find any tutorial or comment that would me ensure 100% so I'm asking the specialists now: [Q] Can I play PSX backups on an softmodded v5/6 Playstation 2 with Breaker Pro? and if so -- Do I need a trigger disc, maybe especially with a big TOC, to run it through BP? anf if SO, must be the trigger disc the same region as the backup is? Or can I use a PAL trigger disc and run a NTSC backup with it? The game I want to play most is Resident Evil 2 (NTSC)! The whole project is kinda for that one game. Maybe anyone has any information about that in relation to ps2's. So, would be really thankful if anyone could help me with my questions or my project at all. This forum was a BIIIIIIG help on the way from a normal-never played-PS2 to what it is now and what it's gonna be. So a big thanks already to everyone who made these great tutorials and threads on here, it helped a lot! Best regards, dopahansi

etour | My OHIO Portal
Foreign films have never been a genre of choice for Elizabeth Stapp, a first-year student who's more likely to choose a blockbuster at the Athena Grand. But October's Cinematheque film series -- the first of a monthly series supported by the new Arts for Ohio initiative -- may have changed her mind.
"This one was good; I wasn't expecting to like it," Stapp said after a Cinematheque screening of "Fire," a 1996 film written and directed by Deepa Mehta, about two modern-day Indian women who, dissatisfied with their marriages, turn to each other for love and support.
Stapp attended the Cinamatheque film for her Fine Arts Experience class, and she's looking forward to more Arts for Ohio performances. In addition to Cinematheque films, Arts for Ohio provides students with free admission to College of Fine Arts productions, such as theater and dance.
"It's nice that it's free. There are so many interesting things on the calendar of events," said Stapp, who also planned to see "Betty's Summer Vacation," a production by the School of Theater, and the School of Music's "Octubafest" concert.
Stapp's not alone. According to Ruth Bradley, director of the Athens Center for Film and Video, the first Cinematheque film series Oct. 12-18 dramatically increased the Athena Cinema's traffic.
"And with only one exception, there were always more folks at the second screening (of each film) than at the first," she said. "On the first day of the series, I talked to a group of freshman women and a group of sophomore men (attending a Cinematheque film), and the next day, they all came back -- and they brought friends."
Similarly, students represented about 78 percent of audiences at the School of Theater's recent production "Betty's Summer Vacation," which closed Oct. 20. That, says William Fisher, interim director of the School of Theater, is up significantly.
"There is absolutely no question that Arts for Ohio influenced attendance and interest in our opening production. I expect it to all year -- and hopefully in years to come," Fisher said. "Making the arts as accessible as sports was easy for students to accept, and in my view that should become their rightful expectation."
Fisher talked with audience members after each performance of "Betty's Summer Vacation," asking students for their thoughts on Arts for Ohio.
"A large number (said they) came to the theater because of Arts for Ohio and did not attend productions in years past. They also said they would return all year," Fisher said. "The excitement for the show -- and for the fact that students had a new benefit in their cultural and educational life -- was palpable."
The first School of Dance performance, the Senior Dance Concert, will be presented at 7 and 9 p.m. Nov. 1-3 in the Shirley Wimmer Dance Theatre in Putnam Hall. Thanks to Arts for Ohio, students may attend for free. Admission for other audience members is $6.
Arts for Ohio also supports new arts programming, such as the Korean traditional drumming concert, "Eolsigu!" This free, public performance, partially funded by Arts for Ohio, will take place at 8 p.m. today in Templeton-Blackburn Memorial Alumni Auditorium.
The Arts for Ohio Initiative was funded by a starter grant from the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost. The funding compensates for ticket income and covers the cost of new initiatives and advertising related to the program, which was advocated by the undergraduate and graduate student senates and the Student General Fee Committee.
An advisory board made up of five students, two faculty members, an administrator and a College of Fine Arts school director is helping to guide the Arts for Ohio process. A report planned by the end of the academic year will offer a comprehensive look at the program and make recommendations for the future.
The Arts for Ohio Advisory Committee is in the process of reviewing proposals for additional arts programming this year, said Maureen Wagner, director of Arts for Ohio and assistant director of the School of Theater.

Disclaimer: I don't own Mario and I'm not making money off this.
Author's Notes: While looking through Super Paper Mario beta elements, I noticed a green Boomboxer that looked a lot like Mimi and this little origin story popped into my head.
Bopping her head to the beat, the young Boomboxer stood off to the side of the walkway, her overturned top hat at her feet, beseeching passersby to toss in a Rubee or two as appreciation for the soundtrack she was providing for this brief stretch of their commute. Her music wasn't particularly amazing and most people kept on walking, but she smiled at them all the same, enjoying the music coming out of her own head. She beamed in gratitude at every glint of red that did drop into her hat, but inside, her heart sank as the minutes turned to hours without the sort of return she had been hoping for. She was so desperate for funds, she didn't even turn her nose up to the near-worthless coins a couple foreigners donated to her hat. During a lull in the foot traffic, she quickly dug into the hat and counted up her spoils. She could buy a new hat, and maybe a cheap sundress, but that's all.
"I guess there's no new wardrobe for me…" She sighed, before huffing in frustration, the smile completely gone from her face. Now she'd have to figure out another easy way to earn some Rubees.
"Money troubles, eh?"
The Boomboxer jumped and spun around to face the gnarled old woman who had been watching her. The girl's skin crawled at the look the witch was giving her, but she wasn't one to be easily intimidated and stood tall – relatively speaking. "What's it matter to you?" she snarled.
The old woman smiled. Her teeth were yellow and crooked, and she caught the look they inspired in the Boomboxer's eyes. "Heh heh heh, I see we're kindred spirits."
"I doubt it – I'm not creepy and nosy," sneered the girl.
"Spirited indeed!" cackled the witch. "You're a fan of beauty, so of course you're no fan of mine. But I think we can help each other." To keep the Boomboxer's attention, the hag pulled a bag of Rubees out of her robe and loosened the opening. The girl's eyes glinted red, and the witch's smile widened. "You see, I'm not too fond of what I've become. I may have gained great skills and knowledge over the years, but I lost my youthful good looks… And I want them back."
The Boomboxer looked up at the sharpness of the old woman's last statement. "You mean like… anti-aging potions?"
The witch shook her head. "Not strong enough, my child. I don't just want to look young, I want more – some might say I'm greedy, but I think you can appreciate the desire to go beyond just any old look… no pun intended."
The girl nodded. "Yeah. I get so bored if I look the same every day. I've been trying to save up for some new clothes – nice, fancy ones that'll make everyone notice me, especially boys, but, well…"
"Busking is easier said than done," nodded the witch sympathetically.
"Unless you give me those Rubees," grinned the Boomboxer. "I'll play a song just for you."
"I'll give you the Rubees, but not for a song. Like I said before, I think we can help each other. I am researching shape-shifting potions, you see, and it's hard to analyze their effects when I'm the one being affected."
"So what? You need me to be your guinea pig?" The girl took a step backwards, shaking her head. "Nuh uh, I'm no one's icky little lab rat."
"No, no, it's not like that at all," insisted the witch. "The potions will help you too. Once we perfect the formula, you'll be able to change your appearance with a mere thought. You could wear every dress in every store and not have to pay anyone a single Rubee."
The girl hesitated, part of her screaming at her to grab her hat and run, the other part being drawn to the sack of Rubees now being held out by the witch. "And of course," continued the crone, "I'll pay you for your time. You may not need it for clothes, but there's still plenty of other things I'm sure you're just dying to purchase…"
The Boomboxer's thoughts clouded by the thought of hiring handsome waiters and bodyguards and lifeguards to watch over the unprecedented beauty, riches fame that shape-shifting could bring her. "A girl can never have too many nice things…" she said dreamily, inching back towards the old woman
"Especially a pretty young thing like you."
"Yeah…" nodded the girl, her logic becoming overwhelmed with the promises of endless free clothes, hunky admirers and red, red Rubees. "…A girl like me."
"I- I d-d-don't feel well…"
"Relax my child, the stomach ache will pass. Do you want something to wash it down?"
"Nnnnno, it's- it's not my- my stomach… I… m-m-my head… it really hurts."
"That's supposed to happen."
"But- but you said…"
"Your mind needs to adapt to the new abilities the magic is granting you: it means the potion is working. We might have finally gotten the formula right!"
"I h-h-hope so… But- but you didn-n-n't say it'd h-hurt this much."
"We all must suffer for our beauty."
"I thought m-magic was sss-ssssupposed to b-be nice?"
"People romanticize everything. Just lie back down."
"But it hurts."
"Just lie down"
"It huuurts."
"Don't whine, just lie down."
"S-stop, l-l-let go of m-m-me."
"Just lie down and let the potion take its course."
"But you're h-hurting m-m-m-m-meee."
"Lie down."
"You're hurting meh-meh-meh-me!"
With a sudden burst of strength, the girl flung the old woman off of her. The witch clattered to the ground and the young Boomboxer swung her legs off the side of the table. She staggered a bit – it felt like she was on a boat in choppy waters. Her skinny arms slid across the counter as she tried to steady herself, sending a few vials of potions smashing to the ground. The witch's hands wrapped around the girl's wrists and she struggled through the fog of pain. It felt like her head was going to split open. She didn't know why the witch was still experimenting – they figured out how to get the girl's appearance to change weeks ago. The dress she wore now had been conjured up by her – and learning to do that hadn't hurt. Learning to change herself to look like other people had been a bit more difficult, but the magic hadn't hurt then either. But this last potion… The last week of potions had all been pretty bad, really. But this one was the worst, and she didn't know why she had even taken it. What experiment was left? The witch said she wanted to perfect the recipe before she tried it, but this wasn't perfection, this was just painful.
"ST-STOP! L-LET G-G-G-! MI-MI-MI-MEE!" The girl struggled to form coherent thoughts, she looked up into the witch's eyes, cold and excited as she watched the girl writhe in her grip. Suddenly the Boomboxer doubled over, shrieking in agony. She moved with such force her arms were ripped free and she clutched at her head, staggering backwards away from the old woman as the speakers that made up the sides of her skull began to crack. The girl cried out as she felt the pieces sliding off, struggling to grab them and hold them in place but she couldn't. Her appearance wasn't changing. She was changing, and she couldn't control it.
She clawed at the sides of her head in panic, her fingers being met with the grating metal that made up the innards of the strange creatures known as Boomboxers. They were organic, but also machines, but feeling the inner workings of her skull just made the girl's mouth open wide in a voiceless scream, her pupils diluted with terror as she suddenly felt something else – something deep inside, struggling to come out.
The witch watched in horror as the girl fell to the floor, her body contorting. There was a sickening crack as her head twisted around, snapping her own neck and sending her fragmented skull lolling. But there was something else in the naked gears – a shadow that spilled forward, first in one long shaft, then another and another. Six beams of darkness in total – all bent in the middle and hypnotically waving around like a blinded spider groping for prey. All the while, the girl's garbled voice chocked out "MI-MI-MI-MI" as if she had lost the ability to say anything else. "MI-MI-MI-MIMIMIMIMI-MIMIMI-MIMIIMIMIIIIIIII!"
Suddenly the legs all jabbed themselves into the ground, and working as a unit, they lifted the little girl into the air, her body dangling limply from the gear-filled head that had sprouted the monstrous legs. The witch stumbled backwards, staring with disbelief at what she had created. She knew the last potion was pushing it – she wanted to tap into the core of the girl's power, but she didn't know it would manifest itself like this. This was not the epitome of shape-shifting she had envisioned, it was an abomination. A monster.
"MIMIMIMIMI!" screamed the creature. "THIS IS THE TRUE MIMIMIMIMI!"
"She's still sentient," gasped the witch as the spider advanced on her. "By the Ancients, what have I done?"
The End

Untimely meditations for silencing the drum circles - Miguel Amorós
A critique of the "new protests" of the Occupy type, depicting this phenomenon as the expression of a reformist "false civil opposition" led by the "impostors" of the civil society movement in the name of a "citizenry" that is a "fantasy" concocted to serve as a "surrogate subject" (replacing "the people") which is to be "exercised" and "educated" "in these protests … which spread like a new fashion among the middle class youths who form its ranks".

Confirmed: Iranian Actress, Blogger in Government Custody (VIDEO)
Semi-official Iran Student's News Agency (ISNA) has confirmed that Iranian actress Pegah Ahangarani was jailed last week for attempting to leave the country to blog about the Women's World Cup for a German radio station, after she was warned by the Iranian government not to travel to the event.
On Monday, Deutsche Welle, Germany's international broadcasting service, reported that close friends of the actress have confirmed that the actress was allowed to call her mother briefly to let her know that she is being detained by the Revolutionary Guard in Tehran's Evin Prison, Iran's most notorious jail. Her family now has no contact with her.
Although Iran claims that Evin holds no "political prisoners," because such a category is not recognized legally in Iran, Evin has long since been known for its uses of solitary confinement, harsh interrogation tactics, even torture, sometimes leading to death, of government dissidents. For women, it is not uncommon for rape to be used by interrogators, a tactic that goes back to Evin's pre-revolutionary days.
Ahangarani in the 2001 film The Girl in the Sneakers
Ahangarani, 27, is a former award-winning child actress and daughter of filmmakers Manijeh Hekmat and Jamshid Ahangarani. At 15, she became most well-known for her role in The Girl in the Sneakers, an Iranian film that touches on the taboo of dating in Iran. In adulthood, she has been active in making documentaries and running an internationally-acclaimed blog on life in Iran. In 2009, she was detained briefly for her outspoken support for reformist presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, whose loss to harld-liner President Mahmoud Ahmedinjad in the disputed and likely rigged elections spurred riots and protests nationwide. She briefly went into hiding after being warned by Iran's Information Ministry not to attend the World Cup, but then decided to go as a guest blogger for Deutshe Welle. One day before she was set to leave, Iran's Intelligence Agency contacted her and threatened her not to leave, and she subsequently cancelled her travel plans. Security officials arrested her at her home on July 10. She is now in the custody of the Intelligence and Security Organization of Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.
"Obviously with arrest of Pegah Ahangarani," Deutsche Welle stated, "Tehran wants not only to prevent reporting of women's football, but first and foremost, cooperation with Germany's international service."
The arrest happened on the heels of Iran's ongoing conflict with FIFA, which banned Iran's women's team from playing a qualifying match for the 2012 Olympics because their headscarves supposedly broke FIFA dress codes. Iran fired back by banning the team from playing in any international soccer tournaments.
Ahangarani is also one of many well-known Iranian women who have been detained this past month for unclear charges, including sports journalist Maryam Majd, documentary filmmaker Mahnaz Mohammadi, journalist Zahra Yazdani, and campaigners Maryam Bahrman and Mansoureh Behkish. Last year, authorities arrested and issued a six-year jail sentence to film director Jafar Panahi, famous for his film Offside, about a group of Iranian women who cross-dress as men so that they can attend an Olympic-qualifying soccer match. Actor Ramin Parchami was arrested last February for his solidarity with the Arab Spring.
"It appears to be part of an ongoing crackdown on journalists, film-makers, activists and lawyer," Amnesty International said in a recent statement. "Anyone whom the authorities fear may challenge their narrow view of what the Islamic Republic of Iran should be."
According to ISNA, the investigation into Ahangarani case is still continuing.

By Bill "Two Scoops" Emes
Middleweight contender Curtis Stevens (27-4, 20KOs) is preparing for his IBF eliminator against Hassan N'Dam on October 1, but he took some time to reflect on last month's fight between IBO/WBA champion Gennady "GGG" Golovkin and challenger Daniel Geale. Prior to the fight, several insiders tabbed Geale, a former two-time champion, as Golovkin's biggest test to date. GGG blew Geale out in three easy rounds. Stevens went eight hard rounds with Golovkin last November and had spurts of success in the match.
"I was hoping [GGG] won, so when I become IBF champ we can get this sh*t back on again. I want him one more time. Geale didn't look like he wanted to fight. Who said that Geale was going to be a harder fight than Curtis Stevens? And then he went in there and this okie dokie sh*t. I said 'c'mon now, what the f*** is going on?' It is what it is though. I wish I just would have went in and let my hands go, I was always thinking too much. But that's life, you live and you learn," Stevens told BoxingScene.com.

Whether we know their names or not, each of us has 16 sets of third great grandparents who served their own specific role in our existence. The decade of the 1830's played a pivotal part for a quarter of these individuals in my own family tree.
My paternal grandmother's contributions were living presumably somewhere in Pomerania. On my paternal grandfather's side, not all of the players had yet been born. Of those that were living, some were in Ohio, and some were in Pennsylvania. It would be three decades later, before the all the necessary parties had made their way to Southern Ohio's Appalachian region, playing their own part in my eventual existence.
My maternal grandfather's family were scattered about in New Jersey and Ohio, and it would take two additional decades before for the "right" people would find themselves in Henry County of Ohio ensuring that my siblings, cousins and I would eventually come to be. But the early birds to this party were my maternal grandmother's people.
All four sets had found their way to Seneca County by the mid 1830's and they had all settled in Liberty Township.
The Lutheran contingent had come from Shenandoah County in Virginia by way of Fairfield County, Ohio. The German Baptists were also from Shenandoah County, although there is no reason to think the two groups had ever known each other, it is interesting that they both had made their way to Liberty Township.
The Armstrongs came from Lancaster County in Pennsylvania, and the final piece of my genealogical puzzle, the Lynches, were also originally from Pennsylvania with stopovers in Fairfield and Franklin Counties in Ohio.
If you had family that spent any significant time during the last seven decades of the nineteenth century in Liberty Township of Seneca County, Ohio, we are, quite likely, related.
If you aren't related to the Lynches (Daniel and Margaret Anderson Lynch), then you are probably related by the Armstrongs (William and Leah Shupe Armstrong.) If not the Armstrongs, then we are certainly related by the Goods (Joseph Good and Magdalena Click Good.). But if you still haven't found the connection, then may I suggest the Feasels (Henry Feasel and Jane Kendall Feasel) as the source of our mutual genetic inheritance?
For the Feasels came to the county in full force. Brothers George and Henry both took out land patents in 1831, George on August 12 and Henry on November 14. Both had large families and with the later addition of a nephew, Samuel Cotter Feasel, who located near Bascom, Ohio, it is fair to say that the county was awash with Feasels.
There were so many Feasels, that the area in which they lived was called, Feaselburg. While to my knowledge there was never such a place on a map, to this day there is a cemetery located on what was once old George Feasel's land, called Feaselburg Cemetery.
Below is a partial plat map of Liberty Township in 1865, showing where all the Feasel plots were located. The red dots stand for the various Feasel holdings, with the Green dot indicating the location of Feaselburg Cemetery.
While tracking done errant Goods, Armstrongs, and Lynches is difficult business because of the commonness of the name, there is no such problem when it comes to my Feasel relations. According to Feazell researcher, Don Feazell, who maintains a website dedicated to all things Feazell (Feazel, Feazle, Feasel, Feezel and Feezell), almost all individuals who use the F-E-A-S-E-L spelling of the name descend from Michael Feasel Sr, with the a large number descending from his son Jacob Feasel, who was the father of Henry and George. According to Don, "Only a few family lines are known to use this spelling today."
Which is why, anytime a new database comes online; I plug in the Feasel name just to see what interesting tidbits I can find. I solved a little family mystery in this very manner when the Family Search's Pilot Site program added the database for Michigan Marriages 1868 – 1925.
I plugged in the name Feasel, and surprisingly enough I found 39 matches for the name. The most interesting result was the name Ross W. Feasel, my great grandmother Laura Jane Feasel Lynch's brother.
Ross and Gertrude Betts were married in Seneca County on August 25, 1896. Their eldest daughter, Bernice was born that same year. In looking at family records I noticed that their next living birth happened February 16, 1914 when twin daughters, Evelyn and Vivian were born 18 YEARS LATER! That had always seemed odd.
Odd, until I found the wedding of one Ross W. Feasel and Gertrude Greak married December 21, 1912 in Monroe County, Michigan. Gertrude's father, listed as Isaiah Betts, confirmed that this was the same Gertrude who had married Ross 14 years earlier.
Obviously, there was a divorce and a second marriage for Gertrude, but in the end, the two of them remarried, and in addition to the twins, they went on to have daughters Irene and Mildred before Gertrude died in 1923. Interesting to note that their second marriage occurred three months after Mama Feasel's death.
As a student of family history, I am always amazed at the confluence of events that had to take place for my own existence to have been made possible. The more I study my own roots, the more I realize how heavy the word "if" floats atop my head. All the events that had to happen in precise order, with the correct people and at the perfect time make me shake my head in wonder.
The next time you are feeling low, or are angry with the moron who just cut you off in traffic, it might be wise to remember this: Each of us who have made it here, to this often troubled world, did so because we beat the odds and won the most important lottery of all – life. And that's gotta count for something.
Until Next Time – Happy Ancestral Digging
Note: For more on the Feaselburg Cemetery, see the posting I have done at Great Black Swamp Graveyard Rabbit website.
Some of you will notice that I took an unintended two-week hiatus from the Geneablogging world. A quick thank you to all of you who nominated me for the Kreativ Blogger Award (including the first to nominate me – sista crankypants.) I have some catching up to do on responding to comments. The Monthly Mélange for February may be a little later than planned this month because I also have to do some major Geneablogger reading!
PS If you found this post by googling one of my family names, please feel free to get in touch with me. I always love to do some mutual sharing when it comes to the family tree.

Thanks Lisa, for your comment. I'm still encountering problems on some of the blogs I wish to comment on. I wonder if it is my computer or something other.

WWF has recently released a statement on WWF's position and recommandations for the 2015 Ministerial Meeting of the Arctic Council, which will take place in Iqaluit next 24th April. During the meeting, which takes place every two years in different locations, particpants will outline objectives and priorities for the Arctic Council for the following two years, highlight Canada chairmanship's achievements, and mark the beginning of the United States' chairmanship (2015-2017). While "decisions at all levels in the Arctic Council are the exclusive right and responsibility of the eight Arctic States with the involvement of the Permanent Participants", yet observers, as WWF, may attend the meetings, observe the works of the Council, propose projects, and, in meetings of the Council's subsidiary bodies, present written statements, submit relevant documents and provide views on the issues under discussion.
WWF is one of the eleven Non-governmental organizations that have been granted observer status in the Arctic Council over the years. As reported by the WWF web-site, the main points of the statment are:
Focus on a "new Ocean"
Ominous new records in Arctic sea ice extent and volume have become a regular occurrence. A progressively more ice-free ocean is emerging in the Arctic. Arctic states must cooperate and take practical actions to protect Arctic life and minimize the risks of increasing industrial impacts.
Arctic states must:
Identify and protect marine areas of special ecological significance to improve biodiversity conservation through a representative Arctic marine protected areas network.
Design and adopt a legally binding regional seas agreement to enhance ecosystem health of the Arctic Ocean and coastal communities' wellbeing.
Empower Arctic Peoples
Many Arctic communities are currently fully dependent on dirty, expensive fossil fuels to generate electricity, power their economies and heat their homes. The Arctic Council can help Arctic communities transition to community-scale renewable energy technologies as part of a plan to reduce the impacts and risks of development while increasing local and environmental benefits.
Arctic states must:
Prioritize community-scale development including expansion of renewable energy projects that will substitute diesel and heavy fuel oil and truly benefit local peoples.
Develop a long-term (2030-2050) Arctic sustainable development vision based on downscaling of industrial projects and diversification of the Arctic economy.
Factor in the value of biodiversity conservation to improve human wellbeing in the region.
Act on Climate Change
At the first Ministerial meeting in 1998, the Arctic Council was mostly concerned with Arctic pollution issues and the related human health consequences which led to the 2001 Stockholm Convention on persistent organic pollutants and the more recent 2013 Minamata Convention on mercury. Today, Arctic nations are facing an even more dynamic and complex set of problems related to the rapidly changing environmental, social and economic conditions of the region.
Arctic states must:
Work with observer states to drive the adoption of ambitious greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets in the coming climate negotiations in Paris.
Work with observer states to reduce local emissions of methane and black carbon.
Develop tools to improve the resilience of Arctic peoples and ecosystems to adapt to Arctic changes.
Identify all sorts of subsidies to hydrocarbon development in the Arctic and reallocate at least 50% of them to support renewable energy solutions for Arctic communities.

Welcome to the first edition of the With Leather Assumptive WWE Smackdown Spoilers Report, a copy and paste of Smackdown spoilers from copy and paste wrestling news sites that analyzes what happened based on indirect reporting and jumps (over the top rope) to conclusions. You want to know what happens on Smackdown, but you don't want to sit at home on Friday nights watching a half-assed episode of Raw with canned crowd noise, right? Check this out and just pretend you watched it.
(Then come back on Saturday and read the Best and Worst of Smackdown.)
Here's What Happens On This Week's Smackdown:
(Note: These are actually Smackdown spoilers. Clickhole does not have a wrestling branch.)
– WWE has a multi-man ladder match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship coming up at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view. What is the ONE opening segment you're guaranteed before any multi-man match of note? If you answered "the one where a guy comes out to say he's gonna win but gets interrupted by one of his opponents, then they get interrupted by a third opponent, then THEY get interrupted by the fourth until everybody's out and arguing or brawling," congratulations, you watch pro wrestling. That happens here.
– Seth Rollins defeated Kofi Kingston. It might've been Dolph Ziggler wearing gear with palm trees on it, we can't confirm. We CAN confirm that Seth had new gear, though, and that he's gone from looking like a badass swat dude to looking like Trinity from The Matrix.
– Dolph Ziggler defeated Bad News Barrett. Bad News Barrett is the Intercontinental Champion, so it makes sense that he should lose to a guy whose biggest win in 2014 was against a jobber in a Magneto hoodie from Hot Topic. Barrett should unify the IC and United States Championships and start losing 40 second squashes to Heath Slater.
– Adam Rose defeated Titus O'Neil. Remember when Titus came up with a cool new idea for a heel run, cut that weird backstage promo and was almost immediately hurled into the abyss? Here he is losing to a guy who is not as over as his own entrance theme. Spoiler alert: the announce team spends just as much time during this match talking about the bunny as they do Adam Rose.
– Kane defeated Dean Ambrose. Glad to see WWE putting over its young stars. Seth Rollins is on color commentary for this, which I'm sure is succinct and engaging. I'm sure he also provides no distraction for Ambrose during the match, does not cause Ambrose to lose and does not jump into the ring and attack at any point afterwards. I feel like in a purely kayfabe universe, color commentary appearances should be banned. They never end well, and were sorta outed as a hacky plot device a decade ago when Edge and Christian announced they were here to "do a run-in."
– Big E defeated Jack Swagger. Also known as "The Battle Of Who Could Care Less."
– A backstage segment occurs where Summer Rae and Fandango make out, which causes Layla to burst into tears. Reminder: Summer Rae, the woman who got dumped and handled it by viciously attacking her ex's new girlfriend, dumping milk all over her, calling her a "twat" on live television and still trying to hook up with the ex is the babyface. The woman who dances and is in love is the heel.
– Bo Dallas defeated Fandango. In a match that was surely designed to get Bo and Fandango over, Summer Rae and Layla fight with each other and ruin everything.
– Bray Wyatt had more mic time and was really great at it, but is still doing that breathing thing that bothers anyone who notices it.
– Sheamus, Roman Reigns and John Cena defeated Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton, Alberto Del Rio and Cesaro. The culmination of that "everybody's beefing" opening segment trope. We find out why Alberto Del Rio's involved in the match here, and it's so he can take pins in the "pair up the ladder match opponents" matches leading up to Money in the Bank. I like to think Roman Reigns drugged Stephanie McMahon's coffee and caused her to comedy vomit on Vickie Guerrero's face so he could fit in with his new tag team partners John Cena and Sheamus.
And that's our show!
If you like the Assumptive WWE Smackdown Spoilers report, let us know in the comments section below. Also, be sure to speculate wildly about everything you've read. One sentence of results is SURELY enough to decide whether something will be good or bad. And hey, share this, won't you? Ruin two hours of wrestling for everyone.

Outstanding product for its appearance and feel. I'm a huge fan of the Transformers movie series and this is a truly great addition to my Transformers collection. As soon as I saw the artowork for this I knew I had to have it! It feels nice with a clean embossed surface which really suits Optimus Prime's robotic face! Inside it gets even better, my eyes are forever blessed. The disc itself is the same as the original Dark of the Moon releases but that's not what this product is about - you would most probably be buying this for the steelbook. Thanks for reading, I highly recommend this!
Revelation! Very fast delivery! Product in excellent condition! Recommended!!!

Harrisburg, Pa. A rural school board showed a clear bias against teaching evolution before it pushed through a plan to introduce "intelligent design" to students, a former board member testified Tuesday in a trial over whether the concept has a place in public schools.
Aralene "Barrie" Callahan, who was once on the Dover school board and is now among the challengers, said she believed the policy to teach intelligent design was religion-based.
Eight families are trying to remove the theory from the Dover Area School District curriculum, arguing that it violates the constitutional separation of church and state. They say "intelligent design" effectively promotes the Bible's view of creation.
The school district argues it is letting students know there are differences of opinion about evolution, not endorsing any religious view.
Callahan testified that board member Alan Bonsell - during a retreat in 2003 - "expressed he did not believe in evolution and if evolution was part of the biology curriculum, creationism had to be shared 50-50."
At a school board meeting in June 2004, when she was no longer on the board, Callahan recalled board member Bill Buckingham complaining that a biology book recommended by the administration was "laced with Darwinism."
"They were pretty much downplaying evolution as something that was credible," she said.
In the lawsuit challenging the intelligent design policy, Buckingham was further quoted as saying: "This country was founded on Christianity and our students should be taught as such."
Proponents of intelligent design say life is the product of an unidentified intelligent force, and that Darwin's theory of natural selection over time cannot fully explain the origin of life or the emergence of complex life forms.
In October 2004, the board voted 6-3 to require teachers to read a brief statement about intelligent design to students before classes on evolution. The statement says Darwin's theory is "not a fact" and has inexplicable "gaps," and refers students to an intelligent-design textbook for more information.
In a separate development Tuesday, two freelance newspaper reporters who covered the school board in June 2004 both invoked their First Amendment rights and declined to provide a deposition to lawyers for the school district.
Both are expected in court today to respond to a subpoena to testify at trial, said Niles Benn, a lawyer for the reporters' papers.
Lawyers for the school district have questioned the accuracy of articles in which the reporters wrote that board members discussed creationism during public meetings. Patrick Gillen, an attorney with the Thomas More Law Center, said the defense would ask U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III today to issue a contempt citation.
In other testimony Tuesday, plaintiff Tammy Kitzmiller said that in January, her younger daughter chose not to hear the intelligent-design statement - an option given all students - putting her in an awkward position.
"My 14-year-old daughter had to make the choice between staying in the classroom and being confused ... or she had to be singled out and face the possible ridicule of her friends and classmates," she said.
The Dover district, which serves about 3,500 students, is believed to be the nation's first school system to mandate that students be exposed to the intelligent design concept.

Melbourne Victory coach Ernie Merrick admitted Beijing Guoan deserved their 1-0 win in the Asian Champions League last night. The Victory seemed to be outclassed by the reigning Chinese Super League champions who were led well by ex-Newcastle Jets striker Joel Griffiths in cold and frosty conditions although the visitors charged back into the contest late in the piece, presumably due to a higher level of fitness.
Victory have been up and about all season whilst Beijing have yet to commence because the Chinese league is still in hiatus but Merrick offered no excuses after the match, citing Griffiths as the difference.
"Beijing played good football today and they deserved the victory," he said. "Our attacks were not very effective while Joel Griffiths proved the difference."
The Victory's next match is the A-League major semi-final second leg against Sydney FC on March 7 before hosting South Korea's Seongnam Ilhwa two days later.

Kansas State and Oregon both lose tonight, and Notre Dame is the only undefeated team. Possibly a ND-SEC Champion matchup for the BCS?
BTW congrats to my Tigers, they managed to pull out a win tonight. Special congrats to Odell Beckham for that awesome return for a TD. On the flip side, I was hoping not to see or hear the "Billy Cannon Run", but of course, CBS has that video on speed dial. UGH....I don't know why it gets on my nerves, but...when it came on, my dad busted out laughing because he knows how much it irritates me

Even before Antoine Winfield officially signed with the Seattle Seahawks, the Minnesota Vikings were looking thin at cornerback after releasing the 35-year old veteran in March. Despite speculation to the contrary, a reunion between the Vikings and Winfield seemed unlikely and is obviously not going to happen.
Cornerback now becomes a fairly big need for Minnesota during this year's draft, and finding one or two players that can contribute immediately looks practically necessary. The Vikings have two first-round picks and currently own six of the first 120 selections, so they look well-positioned to use an early pick or two on a cornerback.
Darius Slay had a solid senior season at Mississippi State, with five interceptions, six pass breakups and 40 total tackles on the way to earning All-SEC Second Team honors. He has been flying up draft boards on the heels of an excellent showing at the NFL Combine that included the best 40-yard dash time among defensive backs (4.36 seconds). One concern is his lack of experience as only a one-year starter for the Bulldogs, but many scouts now view Slay as a better overall prospect than college teammate Johnthan Banks.
Could Slay be a fit for the Vikings? Let's look at his measurements, strengths and weaknesses.
Height: 6'0″
Weight: 192 lbs.
– Has excellent size and an athletic frame; looks the part
– Has good quickness and straight-line speed; is an all-around fluid mover
– Has excellent hand-eye coordination; catches the ball naturally
– Has experience on special teams
– Is a willing run defender
– Does not show a lot of aggression as a tackler; needs to refine his technique
– Lacks extensive experience against top-level competition
– Needs to improve his overall instincts and recognition
Slay is a fairly raw prospect, but he has a very high ceiling and has a chance to become a very good NFL corner with more experience to go along with his physical skills. His ball skills and quickness make him a nice fit for Minnesota's base Cover-2 scheme, but the offensive coordinators elsewhere in the NFC North would surely make him a primary target in their game plans if he is in a significant role immediately. All things considered, if Slay is available when it's the Vikings' turn in the second (52nd overall) or third (83rd overall) round his upside will be hard to ignore.

2005.11.12 Good news for OpenBSD users! Joerg Zinke has made KedPM port for OpenBSD. You can download the port from project downloads page. Thanks, Joerg!
2004.02.29 After a long time dealing with other matters, I've finally found some time to work on KedPM.
With this release I've decided to change the project status from alpha to beta. I've used this program quite a lot and it has performed quite well, so I think its ready for public testing.
Apart from bugfixes, this release introduces Parser's pattern editor (without much documentation yet), subcategories of arbitrary depth and various usability improvements. Figaro Password Manager compatibility is also still in place :-)
2003.10.27 KedPm-0.3.0 had a bug that prevented creating of new databases, it is fixed in this release.
2003.10.26 Two major features were added in this release. The first is the Parser feature, it will help you incorporate passwords from your e-mails to the database more efficiently. The second feature is the ability to search the password tree recursively, this will allow you to search all of your passwords in one operation.
Other updates include experimental FPM-0.58 format support (with it's longer passwords), basic configuration options, deleting and moving passwords, the ability to display passwords as plain text in GUI and various usability enhancements.
2003.09.21 This is a bug-fix release, it fixes a major Figaro Password Manager bug - inability to store long passwords in the database. FPM can't handle passwords longer than 24 characters, KedPM now can, but FPM-0.53 still can not load them correctly.
The GUI can now create a new FPM database, if it doesn't already exist - sorry, to those users who downloaded version 0.2.0, but could not start the GUI.
Password Manager helps to manage large numbers of passwords and related information and simplifies the tasks of searching and entering password data.
KedPM is written in pure python and can be run on virtually any platform the python interpreter can. For the moment, KedPM is tested on Linux and OpenBSD systems.
KedPM is written as an extensible framework, which allows users to plug in custom password database back-ends and custom user interface front-ends. Currently, only the Figaro PM back-end supported. To control KedPM user can choose between CLI and GTK2 based GUI front-ends.
The short term goal of this project is to make a more usable replacement for Figaro Password Manager.
The long-term goal is to produce a full-featured secured information manager that can handle and organize a large amount of non-uniform data and provide it to the user through an intuitive user interface.
The first priority of this application is ease in locating and entering password information. The user should be able to access password protected resources as quickly as possible and be able to easily insert information into the password database and avoid having to fill in password forms manually, which is the worst possible method.
The second, but no less important, priority is to do things securely. The risk of access to passwords by unauthorized persons should be minimized.
Currently Ked Password Manager includes the following features:
The latest Ked Password Manager release can be downloaded from here. Unreleased code under development is available from anonymous CVS.
If you want to help make KedPM better, just do it :-) Seriously, there are several areas where your help would be invaluable:
The only author for now is Andrey Lebedev <kedder at sourceforge dot net>. I can also be contacted through Jabber: firstname.lastname@example.com.
KedPM project is hosted at Sourceforge. Visit the project page.

Gernika, 1937 (BASQUE SERIES)
- The Market Day Massacre
(E-bog, ePub)
Beskrivelse: On April 26, 1937, a massive aerial attack by German and Italian forces reduced the Basque city of Gernika to rubble and left more than sixteen hundred people dead. ... Læs mere Although the assault was initiated as part of a terror bombing campaign by Francoists against Basque Republican forces during the Spanish Civil War, its main intent was to test the effectiveness of the rising German Luftwaffe's new equipment and strategies. To produce this detailed analysis of the political and military background of the attack and its subsequent international impact, Xabier Irujo examined archives and official government documents in several countries and conducted numerous interviews with Basques who survived. His account of the assault itself, based on eyewitness reports from both victims and attackers, vividly recalls the horror of that first example of the blitz bombing that served the Germans during the first years of World War II. He reveals the US and British governments' reaction to the bombing and also discusses efforts to prosecute the perpetrators for war crimes. Irujo relates the ways in which the massacre has been remembered and commemorated in Gernika and throughout the worldwide Basque diaspora. Gernika, 1937: The Market Day Massacre is an important contribution to the history of the Spanish Civil War and to our understanding of the military strategies and decisions that shaped this war and would later be employed by the Nazis during World War II.

Iran Allows Afghan Refugees To Study At Iranian Schools
Iranian authorities have agreed to allow the children of illegal Afghan immigrants to attend Iranian schools and universities.
RFE/RL spoke on December 14 with Haji Muhammad Mohaqiq, Afghanistan's second deputy executive officer who recently returned from talks in Iran.
Mohaqiq said during his talks with Iranian officials, agreements were reached on providing free education for Afghan immigrants who still do not have legal residency in Iran and also on extending the residency permits for some Afghans who are legally registered in Iran.
Mohaqiq said there are more than 1 million Afghans living illegally in Iran.
There are also some 1 million Afghans living legally in Iran.

Asked which cookbook they would choose if they could have only one, chefs, cooking teachers and cookbook authors made choices ranging from "The Gourmet Cookbook" to "Simple French Food" and "The Joy of Cooking."
Experts weigh in on favorite cookbooks
3 Responses
The Joy of Cooking or Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana kitchen.
That's a tough one. I find cooking easier to do without recipes than baking so if I had to choose just one cookbook I would probably go with my America's Test Kitchen Family Baking Book, or Cook's Illustrated Baking Illustrated.
Hmmm, or Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day…
While I love all of my Julia Child books my new favs have to be the collection of America's Test Kitchen books!! I love them!!

Underquilt for Kid Hammock using Primaloft One:
Hammocks built to 75" x 42" before Whipping and Hemming. Make from 1.9oz RipStop for extra durability... because they are boys. I might try 1.1oz later, if they can keep these from tearing. Trying to build a solid all season style quilt system for them from Primaloft, as I want to keep the cost down. I don't know yet how much they will use them or not.
I've not built anything before in this size, so there will be a lot of experimenting. I am building two seperate sleep systems, as there are 2 boys. So a total of 4 quilts needed. (I'm open to ideas, or trying 2 methods if people have any ideas out there.)
My plan is for a 60" by 41" quilt to cover them fully. 60" being the width of the fabric purchase, and subject to being shortened as the fabric dictates. The total fabric size leads to a project of 1.9 yd sq. per quilt.
According to BillyBob58's calculations:
A rule of thumb that some go by is: for a well sealed sleeping bag a CLO of 2=40F, 4=20F, 6= 0F.
CLO Rating for Primaloft One is .84 CLO / 1oz / 1yd sq.
I can get both 3oz and 5oz weight from Seattle Fabrics (locally). http://www.seattlefabrics.com/products.html#Fabrics
So the options are 3oz, 5oz, 6oz, 8oz, 9oz, or 10 oz. One Sheet, two sheet, or three sheets.
CLO / oz/yd sq/temp /1.9oz (project weight)
.84 / 1 / 1 / n/a / n/a
2.52/ 3 / 1 / 35 / 5.7oz
4.20/ 5 / 1 / 20 / 9.5oz
5.04/ 6 / 1 / 10 / 11.4oz
6.72/ 8 / 1 / -7 / 15.2oz
7.56/ 9 / 1 / -15 / 17.1oz
8.40/ 10/ 1 / -25 / 19oz
I'm guessing deminishing returns show up well before 0 degrees, but 6 oz of Primaloft One should get them to below freezing if needed. Maybe a 5oz single sheet would be a good idea to reduce potential errors in quilting.
So weights:
2x 1.1oz RipStop shell x 1.9 yards of fabric = 4.18 oz
5oz Primaloft is 9.5 oz so total weight is 13.68
6oz Primaloft is 11.4 oz so total weight is 15.58
This is before thread, grosgain, cordage and cordlocks. I think they can handle 2 lbs of Quilts with no problem.
Would there be any benefit to adding an outside layer of Insultex to the bottom quilt for added wind resistance, and a little lightweight warmth? It would only add .8 oz to the weight, but the downside is that I would have to wait to have it arrive before starting. Just not sure if 1 layer by itself would do much good.
And is the extra 1oz of insulation worth the extra price per yard I wonder? 5 oz is $14.95/yd. 2x 3oz is $23.90.
Rough estimate of price:
2.3 yards of 1.1 ripstop @ $9.25/yd (can get this much cheaper online) $21.25
1.2 yards of 5oz Primaloft @ $15.95/yd $19.14 +$21.25 = $40.39
2.4 yards of 3oz Primaloft @ $11.95/yd $28.68 +$21.25 = $49.93
That is per quilt. Not including grosgain, cordage, or toggles that will run another $5-10 per side.
I should have bought more tickets for the lottery.

Sarah wins national charity award
Local animal charity employee, Sarah Connolly of Paws Animal Rescue in County Tipperary, Ireland has won Animal Charity Employee of the Year in the brand new Petplan and Association of Dogs and Cats Homes (ADCH) Animal Charity Awards.
The awards celebrate the outstanding work of animal charities and not-for-profit organisations across the UK and Sarah Connolly is the first animal charity employee to receive the accolade, 'Animal Charity Employee of the Year.'
Sarah has worked at Paws Animal Rescue for 16 years, having joined the organisation when she was just 13 years old. During this time, Sarah has worked to provide shelter and care to thousands of abused, neglected and abandoned dogs throughout the county. She remembers one success story in particular – a Greyhound who had suffered terribly before it was rescued but with the help of lots of hands-on care, the Greyhound was successfully rehomed with loving owners and transformed into a tail wagging happy and healthy dog.
Sarah said, "Wow, this is absolutely amazing! I would like to thank Petplan and the ADCH for this award. It is wonderful to be honoured for doing the work that you love by your peers. When I started volunteering for PAWS I would never for one minute imagined that 15 years later I would not only be still working there but also receiving this award. Our work makes a difference to so many lives and very few people have the joy of saying that about their jobs."
Simon Masding, Petplan's head of sales and partnerships added, "Animal wellbeing is central to all we do at Petplan. We work with over 1,500 animal charities and give over £2million to assist them every year. The Petplan and ADCH Animal Charity Awards is another way for us to support and recognise the teams and individuals at charities dedicated to improving the lives of animals. Sarah is a great example of the fantastic work that charity employees do on a day to day basis. We are delighted to name her Animal Charity Employee of the Year."

Industrial Energy Efficiency
U.S. industry currently accounts for about one-third of energy use in the United States. Energy-intensive industries use large amounts of energy to chemically or physically transform raw materials into products such as aluminum, chemicals, forest products, glass, metals, mining, and petroleum refining.
On-going research and development in this area creates new opportunities for these industrial facilities to improve the efficiency of their processes through state-of-the-art technology and energy management practices such as:
- Boilers and Steam Systems
- Combustion
- Compressed Air
- Data Centers/Information & Communications Technology
- Distributed Energy/Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
- Energy Intensive Processes
- Fuel and Feedstock Flexibility
- Materials for Industrial Use
- Motors, Fans, and Pumps
- Nanomanufacturing
- Process Heating
- Sensors & Automation
The North Carolina Clean Energy Technology Center, through the Southeastern Center for Industrial Energy Intensity Reduction program, led by the Mississippi Development Authority, offers energy efficiency information, training and assessments to industrial facilities throughout the southeastern United States.
