The Primitive or Frontier area was founded in 1975 by a group of like minded black powder shooters who were interested in emulating the fur trade era of American history. The firearms, accoutrements and habits of that stout group of fur trappers of the 1800 to 1840 period known as the Mountain Men was the model.
Initially the only firearms allowed were cap lock and flintlock rifles only. All fires were started with flint and steel. Period dress was encouraged, with most of the members making their own. The majority of the members have participated in outside competition in groups like the Northeast Mountain Men and American Mountain Men, where primitive camping and total adherence to authenticity of period dress and equipment is required. Several of our members have distinguished themselves, as among the finest, marksmen in the black powder shooting fraternity.
As interests of the some of individual members in the group changed over time and new people joined the group other aspects of historical shooting such as Cowboy Action Shooting became popular in the mid 1990′s along with black powder cartridge silhouette shooting. Cowboy action shooting is run under rules of SASS, the Single Action Shooting Society which has a world wide membership of nearly 100,000 shooters. Shooters use two single action revolvers pre-1896 type of .32 cal. or larger, one rifle of pistol caliber, and one pre-1899 type shotgun. Period dress is required. Club members have competed successfully in matches across the country.
These disciplines were accepted at Danvers Fish and Game Club with enthusiasm by many members. Interest soon escalated among the group and eventually became part of the multi faceted program offered at the Primitive Area.

text: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-42731272 Margaret Thatcher looks set to lose out to two pioneering feminists in the battle to be the first woman to have a statue in Parliament Square. Rival campaigns have battled for years to be first to put a statue of a woman in front of the Houses of Parliament. The race was won by advocates of suffragist and trade union leader Millicent Fawcett. She is set to join the 10 men in the square, including Sir Winston Churchill and Nelson Mandela, later this year. A rival campaign, led by former Conservative MP Sir Neil Thorne, and backed by the first female Commons Speaker Baroness Boothroyd, argued Emmeline Pankhurst should have been immortalised in bronze instead, as she is far better known than Ms Fawcett. Westminster Council has not ruled out a statue to Ms Pankhurst in the square at some stage - provided campaigners move an existing statute of the suffragette leader that stands in nearby Victoria Gardens first, but they seem to be less convinced of the case for a Thatcher monument, even though it has already been created by sculptor Douglas Jennings. Advocates of a Lady Thatcher statue stayed out of the Pankhurst/Fawcett battle, despite a planning application for a monument to Britain's first woman prime minister being considered by Westminster Council at the same time. The council's planning committee is due to vote on the Thatcher proposal next Tuesday, but council officers have recommended refusal.

West Nile virus human cases in Wyoming occur primarily in the late summer or early Fall, although the mosquito season is April through October. The majority of people who get infected with the virus have no illness, or at most, have an infection similar to a mild flu with fever, headache and fatigue. Rarely will the virus multiply in the central nervous system and cause the brain disease called encephalitis.
It can occur however. In fact, two-thirds of people who develop encephalitis or meningitis have serious long-term health problems and some people never fully recover.
Wyoming has three kinds of arboviral encephalitis: West Nile encephalitis, Saint Louis encephalitis, and Western Equine encephalitis.
An arboviral Encephalitis is an infectious disease that affects the brain. The disease is caused by a virus which attacks and destroys some nerve cells and causes brain inflammation and swelling. Encephalitis arboviruses belong to several families of viruses that usually infect birds and are transmitted from bird to bird by mosquitoes.
What is West Nile Encephalitis?
West Nile Encephalitis is caused by West Nile virus, a flavivirus previously only found in Africa, Eastern Europe, and West Asia. West Nile virus is closely related to St. Louis Encephalitis Virus (SLEV) which is found in the United States and to the Japanese Encephalitis virus from South East Asia and to Murray Valley fever virus from Australia and New Guinea.
How can I get it?
The principle route of human infection is through the bite of an infected mosquito.
In 2002, additional routes became apparent; however, this represented a very small proportion of cases. These routes include receiving transplanted organs and blood transfusions, transplacental and possibly breast-feeding transmission, and laboratory workers working with West Nile infected products.
Who is most at risk?
Anyone can get the virus; however, people over 50 years of age have the highest risk of developing a severe illness because as we age, our bodies have a harder time fighting off disease. People with compromised immune systems are also at increased risk.
What are the symptoms?
People with mild infections may experience fever, headache, body aches, skin rash and swollen lymph glands. This is called West Nile fever.
People with more severe infections may experience high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, and paralysis. This is called West Nile encephalitis. If you have any of these symptoms, contact your health care provider.
Are there long-term consequences?
While most infections are usually mild, West Nile Encephalitis can result in death or serious brain damage. The CDC notes that neurological effects may be permanent. Some improvements may be seen over time.
Is there treatment or a vaccine?
There is no specific treatment for West Nile virus infection, nor a vaccine. While most people fully recover from the viral infection, in some severe cases hospitalization may be needed.

Cold Spring Harbor eyeing sixth straight LI boys tennis title
Cold Spring Harbor has become somewhat of a boys tennis factory, perennially producing great talent and teams that have dominated Long Island in recent years.
This season likely will be no different.
Coming off its fifth consecutive Long Island championship, Cold Spring Harbor returns four top players in Conor Dauer, Jon Paris and the Mullins brothers -- Conor, a junior, and Sean, a freshman. Despite graduating two-time state singles champion Josh Levine and the retirement of longtime coach Paul Posch- mann, the Seahawks are deep, powerful and primed for another run at the county title. Dauer, bound for William & Mary, is also a top contender for the county singles championship.
"We've got three or four guys who are still pretty strong, and my first impression is that we should be competing again for the championship,'' coach Ben Marks said.
Ben Rosen is one of seven returning starters for Port Washington, which expects to be a top team and contend with CSH. Syosset is always tough, returning junior Henry Tell, but graduated its top three singles players. North Shore senior Phillip Antohi also will contend for the county singles title and lead the Vikings, before playing at Cornell next fall.
CONFERENCE I-BHewlett won the conference title last season but graduated eight starters. The team is led by Brandon Remer. Roslyn will rely on its depth at doubles and believes it can contend for the I-B title with senior Brett Edelblum leading the way. Friends Academy returns six starters as Jack Vissichiccio moves up to first singles and Bhavin Vaid and Greg Rosen- thal will play at first doubles for the second straight season. Wheatley beat Oceanside to win the Conference II title last year, but both squads could struggle in a move up to I-B. CONFERENCE II
Vihar Shah made the state singles semifinals last season and returns with Ben Pleat to lead Herricks, which moves down to Conference II after a rough 2012. Freshman twins Athell and Jordan Bennett lead a young Valley Stream Central squad, which moved up to Conference II after winning Conference III last season and Conference IV-A the previous year. Lynbrook expects to com- pete for the conference title as well, returning its core with seniors Matt DeMichiel, Sean Kemp and Charley Lanter.
Mepham had the best record in Conference III last season but lost in the playoffs. The Pirates return their first singles player, sophomore Palmer Clare. Farmingdale and Calhoun moved down from Conference II and also are expected to contend for the conference crown.
Raul Celleri leads a Freeport squad that hopes to succeed in Conference IV-A after beating Uniondale in the Conference IV-B final last season.
John D'Alessandro is the defending CHSAA individual singles champ and has reached the singles finals in each of the last three seasons. But D'Alessandro still might have competition for the top slot on St. Anthony's depth chart with the emergence of sophomore Brian Hoffarth, making the Friars a team to watch.
Juniors Richard Spinelli and Cameron Posillico will lead Chaminade, which graduated 10 players from its league championship team last season.
St. John the Baptist has experience, returning first singles Joe Gigante and promoting Timothy Distler from third to second singles. Kellenberg's strength is at the top of its lineup, where individual singles runner-up Richard Mitchell leads the Firebirds.
Portledgeand Long Island Lutheran are the class here. Portledge beat Lutheran in last year's league championship, and is the favorite again, led by Cameron Daniels and Alex Snow. Luhi returns IPPSAL individual singles champ, sophomore Connor Dove.

text: I think most people will be fine with a 220 volt 30 amp charger at home. 42kWh pack (160 mile range) = about 7 hours 70kWh pack (230 mile range) = about 12 hours So even with the 70 kWh battery you will start each day with a full battery using an outlet that any home electrician can install easily. I have read on the Tesla owners website that many owners are getting bills for several thousand dollar to upgrade their garages to handle the 70 amp HPC. For Tesla Roadster owners, that is not a big deal. But if EVs are going more mainstream, home charging is going to be limited to that of a standard dryer at 220 volt 30 amps. I am not sure which battery I would select. It depends on if the extra weight significantly degrades performance. I think I would be fine with the 160 miles range at 42 kWh.

Good morning everyone.
Seems like every day I log on, and see that the FakeNews Media is trying, harder than ever before, to HIDE the news from the American people.
Think about that. They THINK their job is to HIDE the news from us!
Do you see why I question their species and everything else connected to them?
For all we know these cross-eyed idiots could be another CIA-HP Lovecraft, Pig-Human DNA experiment…
brought to us by the "underground facilities, of the CIA" where they have been playing with genetics and all kinds of other creepy, Necronomicon-y experiments.
They think their job is to HIDE the news from us.
These questionable Pig-thingys, get on TV with straight faces and flat out LIE.
Someone needs to turn them all off, pack them in bubble wrap, and send them to China, where they are bound to be more successful, because bizarre human experiments like this, don't phase the Chinese anymore.
The Chinese are used to this kind of crap. We aren't. We always knew we hated these idiot talking heads and their fake news, we always knew something was wrong with them.
Now we know. They technically aren't human.
I wonder how hard CNN and MSNBC have to work, daily, to actually HIDE THE NEWS from Patriotic Americans?
Chris Cuomo (arriving home after a long day of News-Hiding) :
"Don't bother me now, or I'll send the whole lot of you back to the lab! Daddy's been working like a Russian Whore trying to HIDE the news from these NOSEY freaking Americans!
Don't they know? They aren't supposed to actually KNOW what the news is! Gah!
I'm supposed to be telling them WHAT to think!"
(Something like that.)
WOW! #FakeNews Media Refuses to Show MASSIVE CROWD OF SCREAMING SUPPORTERS Greeting Trumps in Texas (MUST SEE VIDEO)
Hack Kathy Griffin Says She's Not Sorry for Trump Decapitation Pics – Then Goes After 11-Yr-Old Barron Trump
OK…I'm not pulling any punches here. This thing is a MAN.
We are officially at the "prove it isn't" phase of this revelation. Look at that face. Only a dog could love that face, and that's only because the dog knows which face brings the food.
Of course this creature isn't sorry. It came from HELL.
It's never going to be sorry for anything it does, because it's literally a demon.
This is one of the reasons I cancelled my cable…because of no-talent, hideous HACKS like this thing. .
Where's the talent? I don't see it.
Can you just see this thing, along with her crone and hag friends, gathered around a giant kettle, under a full moon, chanting rhymes and trying to put curses on people?
Casting her crappy spells all over Hollywood, with her frog legs, wool-of-bat, tongue-of-dog, pig's feet, human hair, poop, semen and eye of newt soup?
Can't you just hear the bubbling pot as the witch stirs the "soup" wth it's giant gnarly walking STICK and says things like:
Trumple Trumple…Boil and bubble…We don't like you…get out on the double…
then she lets out a WILD, maniacal cackle, and the birds burst into flight to get away from the witch, and the coyotes run far away, and the bears tear back to their caves and CRY…even the cockroaches are terrified.
If ever there was a deranged, fantasy-driven psychopath, male or female, you're looking at it.
Bet the farm there's DEAD BODIES buried on this gender-bending witch's property.
If you're hoping that it will confess or ever have an ounce of remorse, you're out of luck here.
You can find her under: CRAZY.
Move over Jeffrey Dahmer, there's a new freak in town.
BAD NEWS for Professor Who Said Texas "Deserved" a Hurricane for Voting Trump!
It's almost as if they think I give a rat's azz about this loser.
Oh…wait a minute…I DO have an interest in him after all, now that I think about it. I'm extremely interested in seeing him get his azz beat, on an epic level.
Did that sound mean? Good.
Just look at this fruitcake and be very afraid, because this is the kind of nut-sack who's teaching your kids!
If this doesn't make you want to SAVE ALL OF THAT MONEY…and just start HOME SCHOOLING them…
I don't know what will.
This guy, and every other teacher male or female (because I'm a feminist,) should be taken to a remote field…given a fair trial…and then sentenced to a massive, all-night beating.
No exceptions!
I could go on and on about how utterly useless and brain damaging our schools are today…but I'll let the photo of this TWERP speak for itself.
Is this who you thought was teaching your children or did someone pull a bait and switch on you?
Now here's something fun to watch on a rainy day…( "Davenheim house" is amazing!)
Have a great day!

Celebrity hair transplants – who's telling?
In recent years, there's been a surge in the number of male celebrities publicly admitting to undergoing a hair transplant. However, the procedure is a lot more common than you might think as for every celebrity that comes clean, there's many who decide to keep the procedure under wraps. Here, we'll look at which celebrities have admitted going under the knife and which have decided to keep quiet about the procedure.

Barclays Says Buy U.S. Gasoline for August, Sell Heating Oil
Barclays Bank Plc recommends that investors buy gasoline and sell heating-oil futures for August 2012 delivery as motor-fuel production is set to decline next year and a "benign" Northern Hemisphere winter.
A warmer-than-usual winter will allow global heating-oil inventories to build as processing plants boost diesel yields, Miswin Mahesh and Amrita Sen, London-based analysts for the bank, said in a report yesterday. Refiners on the U.S. East Coast, the country's highest fuel-demand region, will close 1 million barrels a day of refining capacity by the middle of 2012, creating "significant tightness" in the gasoline market. Motor-fuel futures have dropped 13 percent since Aug. 30.
"Moving into next year, we warn against continuing with this bearish sentiment towards gasoline," the analysts said."The trade will yield a positive value, given that the current pessimism about the gasoline market should fade in the summer, coinciding with the seasonally low point for heating oil."
Sunoco Inc. idled its 194,000 barrel-a-day Marcus Hook,Pennsylvania, plant ahead of schedule because of a collapse in profit margins, the company said on Dec. 1. That follows ConocoPhillips decision to shut its 190,000 barrel Tranier refinery in the same state on Sept. 30. U.S. processing plants boosted their diesel-fuel production to 33.1 percent of capacity through the week of Nov. 25, the highest of data going back to 1989, according to Energy Department data.
January heating oil's premium to gasoline was at 38.84 cents a gallon today, based on the futures contracts traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The spread reached 62.69 cents on Nov. 14, the widest since Nov. 20, 2008. The average price difference over the past three years is 4.7 cents.
The premium of the August heating oil contract is at 25.07 cents a gallon today after reaching 34.89 cents on Nov. 17.
Gasoline futures for January settlement fell 1.62 cents, or 0.6 percent, to $2.5975 a gallon at 12:52 p.m. Singapore time on the Nymex. Heating oil for the same time fell 0.3 percent to $2.9850.
Gasoline's premium to crude has fallen 20 percent this year on the Nymex. Demand during the summer driving season this year fell 4 percent compared to the same period in 2010, Barclays said.

Thanks to everyone that downloaded the app and especially to those that gave feedback. I found a couple bugs while actually using the app today, so I posted a new version in the gallery. You'll definitely want to upgrade, since one of the bugs is really annoying.
I've added one suggestion to the upcoming features list, and made my intention to include a backup solution clearer. I just started a new job, so new features may be a bit slow for the next month, though bugfixes will be fast (since I'll be using it daily).
Keep the feedback and suggestions coming!

Comment on Pine Gap: wake-up call for Alice Springs by Stefanie Bennett.
Hi Jonathan! During The International Year of Peace 'Arts Action for Peace' launched the book "Midnight Tulips" – and later the libretto "The Performance" performed by The Seymour Group ensemble in Redfern.
Extracts from the author's notes on both occasions reads…
"In this day of push-button extinction no-one has asked me if I want to be a statistic, a pawn, a victim of a power-crazed gang who sit as heads of state in the power capitols of the world. This work is dedicated to the preservation of the small every-day wonders and the people who still have eyes or souls to see.
To aggressor or victim, the searcher or salvager, or those who still believe there is time and space enough to dream & to love.
Fellow artists, fellow humans, to all of us who stand at gun-point, this work is for and about you."
Times have NOT improved. I believe the collective "we" have (sadly) gone backwards.

Peace Pilgrims fight Pine Gap charges: their actions intended to defend themselves and others from imminent disaster
@Obviousman. Seems we have ever changing laws. One day Pine Gap – by original law – was there for "The Defence Of

Whose law have they broken? The one in Sept. 29th 2016? The law that's now a Defence Facility? Certainly not the Aboriginals' lore or land since peace & music isn't a crime. What's criminal is the game-

Cooperation between phoniatricians and hearing aid acousticians strengthened
(EUHA/Mainz, 10 October 2016) As part of the 28th Congress of the Union of the European Phoniatricians (UEP), the second European Phoniatric EUHA Hearing Award was presented on 1 October 2016. The European Union of Hearing Aid Acousticians (EUHA) wishes to make a statement with a view to extraordinary research work, thus strengthening the good cooperation with the Union of the European Phoniatricians (UEP). This partnership is aimed at learning from one another and sharing knowledge on the partner's achievements and the options feasible as part of patient-oriented care based on the idea that hearing aid acousticians and phoniatricians should each have their share in patient management. Special emphasis is placed on paediatric audiology, diagnostics, prophylaxis, and rehabilitation.
Phoniatrics is a distinct medical specialty dealing with voice, speech, language, and swallowing disorders. The UEP is an association of physicians specialising in phoniatrics and auditory training. UEP members engage in an exchange of expert knowledge, clinical experience, and scientific findings on these topics.
The European Union of Hearing Aid Acousticians (EUHA) has campaigned for certified further education and advanced vocational training for hearing aid acousticians for more than fifty-five years.
EUHA president Martin Blecker presented the award stressing: "We have a coordinated approach to working for the benefit of patients. Your job as phoniatricians is to make the medical diagnosis and arrange for treatment, while we hearing aid acousticians take care of fitting hearing devices, supplemented by the whole service package regarding patients and technology."
First prize went to Annegret Leuner of Helios Klinikum Bad Saarow. Her paper is entitled: "Adult cochlear implant users are able to discriminate basic tonal features in musical patterns: Evidence from event-related potentials".
Second prize was awarded to Peter Matulat, Department of Phoniatrics and Paedaudiology, Münster University Hospital, for his research on "Two-way radio modem data transfer for newborn hearing screening devices".
Third prize was presented to Sevtap Akbulut, Hacettepe University, Lütfü-Kirdar Kartal Egitim ve Arastirma Hastanesi, School of Medicine, Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery. The title of his award-winning paper is: "Efficacy of continuous positive airway pressure on middle ear atelectasis: A double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial".
The European Phoniatric EUHA Hearing Award was presented for the first time in Moscow in 2014. It is offered every two years.

2015 came and went in fits and bursts, much like my posts on this blog. I did, however, get the chance to reach wider audiences with my posts about game-based language learning for Teaching English, Edutopia and EFL Magazine. A print article also appeared in the November edition of TESOL France Teaching Times with others in the pipeline for early 2016.
I am also happy to announce that I will be giving a webinar for IATEFL YLT SIG this Sunday, 17th January at 9am GMT. It is free to join and no registration is required - you simply follow this link and enter the virtual room as a guest.
The title is "A language teacher's guide to digital game-based learning" and my abstract is as follows:
'Game based learning' has become something of a buzz term in education over recent years with a multitude of ideas and resources available for using games like Minecraft and Portal for subjects from maths to biology. But what about digital games and language learning?
This webinar will briefly review the history of game-based learning before looking at ways in which a commercially popular game, an app or a piece of educational software can be adapted for the language classroom. By the end of the webinar we will have explored three ideas that can help transform your students' gaming time into a rich experience.
As for the games I will feature, the popular commercial game will be:
This is a fun game to use in class as it doesn't require the player to be a 'gamer'. As long as you enjoy puzzles and have access to a smartphone or tablet, you can pick it up and play. In a similar manner to The Long Dark above, the lack of language in the game is a strength as it allows space for the learners to produce language of their own. The game also has a strong online community for learners to access to find help through walkthrough guides and videos like this one:
As this was specifically created with education in mind, it encourages critical thinking skills of evaluation, comparison, and reflection in a much more overt manner than the two titles shown above. It certainly creates plentiful opportunities for class discussion in the while-playing and post-playing stages. Take a look at my screencast guide to the latest episode:

Erika Shingary Column
Well, there's a first time for everything and this is my first time writing a column. I have spent the last 4 days trying to figure out what to write about and then something caught my attention.....TIME
As I was worrying about the time passing while I tried to come up with an idea, I realized that was my idea! So, let's talk about time and how we fit training into our busy schedules.
You see, I get asked daily about my training. People always want to know what they can do to lose weight or build that sexy, muscular body they've always wanted. Well, here's the secret, you have to make the time! I can't tell you how much I hear people say that they just don't have the time. You have to change that thought process. That's not a reason, it's an excuse.
I used to be caught in this thinking. I gave birth to my youngest in 2005 and it took me almost 3 years to get back to the gym. I came up with every reason why it was too hard, but was also depressed about how my body looked. So one day I decided to get back. Now I didn't make an overnight change, I would still miss a lot of days for any reason that would come along. Then it dawned on me, if I stopped making excuses and actually got serious about training, I could probably achieve the body that I had always wanted. My husband subscribed to a fitness magazine for me and after I got my first copy, I was hooked! Within two months I started seeing changes in my body and I loved it!
Now I want to make something clear. I am a mother and I work full-time. My schedule is completely full every single day from getting the kids off to school, to getting myself to work, to coming home and making dinner. I do not have hired help and yet still manage to make the time to get to the gym. It is just part of my daily routine. I have also added writing to my list of things to get done now along with a number of upcoming photo shoots. Don't get me wrong, there will always be things in life that come up and make you miss a day here or there. The difference between my thinking now and what it used to be is that in the past I would have just missed. Now, I make it up, no matter what! There is no such thing as missed, it is unacceptable.
So what does all this mean? It means that if you want something bad enough, you make the time to get it done. There is always time!! Our family motto is "If you want it, you have to put in the time. "
I welcome all questions and comments so please email me! I will never use your name unless you want me to. i don't claim to know everything, but I will research any questions you may have and answer them to the best of my ability. Thanks for taking the time to read!!!

In a move that could help the housing market, a federal regulator said that it was removing limits on the investment portfolios of the two large mortgage buyers.
Federal regulators for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the biggest buyers of American home mortgages, will remove limits on the amount of loans and securities the companies can own, a step that could help bolster the weakening housing market.
The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, which oversees the two government-chartered mortgage giants, said Wednesday that it was making the change because the companies have begun filing timely financial reports again, after accounting lapses several years ago. But the regulator declined to ease its requirement that Fannie and Freddie hold 30 percent more capital than they are required to by law, citing the turmoil in the mortgage market.
The announcement came as Fannie Mae, the larger of the two companies, reported a $2.05 billion loss for 2007 and warned that home prices would sink further this year. The loss followed a $4.06 billion profit in 2006 and reflected a rise in mortgage defaults and soured investments.
Despite the weak results, shares of Fannie Mae closed up 1.1 percent, to $27.27. Shares of Freddie Mac fell 0.5 percent, to $25.09, after being up by nearly 17 percent earlier in the day.
The director of the oversight agency, James B. Lockhart, said that the companies had made significant progress and that Fannie's recent on-schedule publication of audited financial statements for 2007 was "an important milestone." The investment limits, which cap the companies' portfolios at $746 billion each, will be lifted on Saturday.
But citing the losses at Fannie Mae, Mr. Lockhart said he was not ready to remove the excess capital requirements, saying they have served the companies well at a time when many banks were struggling with much bigger losses.
He said would discuss easing that rule gradually after the companies finish improving internal controls. A change would depend on the state of the market and the companies' finances, he said.
"We have to be very careful in this market not to do too much," Mr. Lockhart said in a telephone interview, noting that he would not begin to consider further changes until April at the earliest. "This capital has served them extremely well over the last nine months," he said.
Democrats in Congress and some mortgage industry officials have been calling on Mr. Lockhart to loosen controls over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac so the companies could play a more active role in the housing market by buying bigger and more risky home loans and securities backed by those mortgages.
On Wednesday, Senator Charles E. Schumer, Democrat of New York, welcomed the lifting of the portfolio caps and called on Mr. Lockhart to go even further by removing the excess capital requirement.
While Democrats have advocated lifting restrictions on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the Bush administration and the Federal Reserve have insisted that the companies deserve close scrutiny because of their large role in the mortgage and financial markets.
Since the credit markets seized up, Fannie and Freddie have regained their central role in mortgage finance after losing significant market share to investment banks during the housing boom. They have issued the vast majority of mortgage securities sold in the last six months, because investors have lost confidence in deals put together by big investment banks.
In a conference call with analysts and investors, Fannie Mae executives said they welcomed the removal of the portfolio caps and the prospect of lower capital requirements, but emphasized that the company would be conservative in using its new freedom.
Daniel H. Mudd, Fannie Mae's chief executive, said the company saw more opportunities in packaging mortgages into securities for sale to investors than in expanding its investment portfolio. He also said the company intends to maintain more capital than it is required to, adding that even now Fannie Mae has more capital than the higher level required by the agency, which is known as Ofheo.
"We will conserve capital," Mr. Mudd said. And "we will continue those discussion to access the capital that is there above the statutory minimum."
In a statement, Freddie Mac welcomed the lifting of the portfolio limits and said it looked forward to having the capital requirement eased to give it "more flexibility in providing liquidity to the nation's housing market at this important time."
The bond market reacted positively to Ofheo's decision to remove the portfolio limits. Investors bid up the value of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac securities, reducing the bonds' yield premium over safe Treasuries. The spread had widened considerably in recent weeks as investors have become more risk averse, helping to drive up the mortgage interest rates that lenders charge home buyers.
One specialist said the lifting of controls on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would help but would not on its own restore the credit market, where investors remain concerned about falling home prices and rising defaults.
"There is a buyers' strike combined with very little money available, vastly less than two years ago," said the specialist, Donald Brownstein, chief executive of Structured Portfolio Management, a hedge fund in Stamford, Conn., that specializes in mortgage securities.
Ofheo restricted the companies' activities in May 2006 after it discovered widespread accounting irregularities there. The two have replaced their top executives as a result of those problems and have spent many months revamping their accounting systems.

TINTIN Works, But Some Graphic Novel Adaptations Go Wrong
There are two things that are universally known among fans of popular graphic novels: there will eventually be a movie made about it, and they will anticipate the production with both eagerness and trepidation. While the Tintin graphic novel phenomenon never really penetrated the shores of the United States, the movie adaptation has received the full Hollywood treatment like no other graphic novel property in history. The recently released The Adventures of Tintin, was directed by Steven Spielberg, produced by he and Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings trilogy) and set to music by living legend John Williams (Star Wars). However, the most important input is the one it is lacking, that of Tintin creator Georges Remi, aka Hergé, who died in 1983.
"The author's vision is what's lost," informs writer Kaja Blackley, who is not only alive now, but was when the 1995 Graphic Novel he created, Dark Town, about a man in a coma battling his subconscious in order to save his own life, was used as the source material for the 2001 Brendan Fraser vehicle Monkeybone. What is lost when an intimately created work is filtered though the collective effort that is film-making? "A true page of sequential art is a road map of an artist's thought process, mental anguish and eventual enlightenment. It's a personal journey that each individual reader gets to take part in."
TinTin fans looking at the feature's array of talent are likely to draw confidence from it, but for a creator that has seen his own work make that leap, hope is not be enough, "Fans have a right to expect that during the transition from graphic novel to film the source material will not be diluted and the integrity of the novel and its characters remain intact. Hollywood development execs are taught that if you adapt something, you change the material to suit your own needs. I would argue that you don't need to change a strong concept, only flesh it out."
That fleshing out process is what turned Dark Town into Monkeybone, "The phone rang at my studio one afternoon and [producer and director] Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas, Coraline) was on the line. He said something to me like, 'We share the same brain' and 'I've been searching for a project like this for a very long time.' He flew me down to California for a few days and we hashed out a series of ideas for the studio pitch. I was most impressed with the beautiful sets that he and his team had built for Dark Town. It was amazing to see my characters in 3D. We continued to talk on the phone and he visited me in Toronto, but as the project grew wings and more people became involved with the movie, I was phased out. C'est la vie."
Monkeybone went on to become a flop both critically and commercially. Of its reported $75 million budget, it recouped just over 10 percent. On the two most popular film review aggregators, it holds a 40 out of 100 on Metacritic and just a 20% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Film critic for Variety, Dennis Harvey, perhaps zeroed in on the problem in his review upon its release, "[It] wastes little time lowering imaginative expectations via hackneyed characters, stale/underdeveloped conflicts and puerile jokes that presumably water down the source material, Kaja Blackley and [artist] Vanessa Chong's '95 graphic novel." The Adventures of Tintin on the other hand is on target to ride its star power, massive international fan base and well-timed family friendly release date to a big opening, but it is facing its own share of criticism for its computer generated characters and in particular for its action set pieces from reviewers including Rodger Ebert.
While Spielberg was reported to have received Hergé's blessing to make a Tintin film before the creator's death, The Adventures of Tintin was produced under the auspices of the Hergé Foundation which carefully holds the rights to Hergé's creations. Blackley is living, perhaps living down, Monkeybone and even after over ten years his opinion hasn't softened, "I think it's crap, and that's not sour grapes talking. I made the decision to sell the rights and I was paid in full. And truthfully, there is no one I would have allowed to develop Dark Town but Henry Selick. He's an exceptionally talented man. Unfortunately, he allowed my material to be diluted and changed to the point that it lost its value and became completely unrecognizable."It's a possibility that the great variance between the source material and the final film will help Dark Town fans, and fans of other comic properties made into poor movies, retain their love of the original book. The distinction could even allow the uninitiated to enjoy it without realizing its connection to its filmatic counterpart. Either way, Kaja Blackley has moved on. Today, he is the Chief Creative Director of the graphic novel publisher Art House 7. They have just released an all-ages book Kid K-OS and next year will release The Assassin's Telegram written and drawn by Blackley.
Tintin fans, like those of Dark Town (and Watchmen and V for Vendetta and 300 etc...) are now stuck, for good or ill, with a different vision of their favorite book than the singular one they shared with that book's creator, but those creators, like Kaja Blackley are not entirely maudlin on the concept, "Although sequential art and film are cousins and share the same alphabet, the vernacular of each is quite different from the other. For that very reason, fans should not expect an exact replica of their beloved title. A quality hybrid is all you can wish for."

The General Fighting Game Strategies section contain a list of general strategies that can be applied to any of the fighting games listed on this wiki (unless otherwise noted). This list is made under the assumption that the reader already has a basic knowledge of how the respective games work (i.e. knowledge of attack buttons, defensive options, etc.).
- 1 Playstyles
- 2 Offensive Techniques
- 3 Defensive Techniques
- 4 Special Techniques
- 5 Metagame Strategies
An offensive playstyle. Basically a rushdown player tries to get up in their opponent's face and swing away until their opponent cracks from the pressure. Effective rushdown often utilizes quick normal attacks that are easily hit-confirmable into a combo and leave the attacker at a relatively safe frame advantage if blocked. Mixups come into play here as the rushdown player tries to open up their opponent with a mix of overheads, low attacks, throws, staggered strings, and even unblockables if available.
A defensive playstyle. A turtling player usually will want their opponent to attack them until they make a mistake that leaves them vulnerable, which a turtling player will punish. Various defensive options such as Instant Blocking, Slashback, Barrier Guard/Faultless Defense, and Pushblocking can help a turtling player in creating opportunities to disrupt an attacking opponent.
Zoning is when a player controls an area or space on the screen in order to limit an opponent's options while maximizing chances in creating their own. Old-school zoning incorporates long-ranged normal attacks and a projectile (think Dhalsim and Guile from Street Fighter 2), while new-school zoning can employ short-ranged normals with obscene hitboxes and quick recovery frames and numerous projectiles to make their opponents' lives a living hell (re: Venom from Guilty Gear, Lambda-11 and Arakune from BlazBlue).
A runaway playstyle is pretty self-explanatory; the player runs away and avoids as much contact with the opponent as they can. While it may seem "cowardly" to runaway, there are legit strategies to using this playstyle, such as using the clock to your advantage if you have a life lead or staying away from an obvious disadvantaged situation if your character is ill-equipped to deal with it. However, some games are starting to implement system mechanics designed to punish excessive running away (namely Guilty Gear and BlazBlue), so keep that in mind and do the minimum needed to avoid Negative Penalty.
Offensive Techniques[edit]
Frame Traps[edit]
Frame traps are a string of attacks designed to provoke a reaction from an opponent, and defeat the action the opponent chooses to take. Knowing frame data is essential in crafting a good frame trap that is essentially air-tight, yet leaves enough of a gap to make the opponent think they have an opening to take the initiative. Tick throws and staggers are used as part of frame traps.
Offensive Kara Cancels[edit]
Offensive kara cancels are special cancels used to extend or change a property of an offensive attack. Techniques such as kara-throwing and fast-falling with specific characters (namely BBCT/CS1/CS2 Carl and Litchi) are considered offensive kara cancels.
Attacking Option Selects[edit]
Attacking option selects are basically an attack sequence that can cover an opponent's multiple options while reducing the number of options to keep in mind. Attacking option selects are usually applied in okizeme as well as in mixup situations.
Offensive Fuzzy Guard[edit]
Offensive fuzzy guard is a mixup technique where an opponent is forced into a potentially nasty guessing game after blocking an attack that has to be blocked standing.
Unblockable Attacks[edit]
There are two types of unblockable attacks to keep in mind; the first one is special moves that are unblockable in design (such as GGXX#R Slayer's Undertow), and the second one is a string of moves that causes an unblockable due to the game engine itself even though the moves themselves are normally blockable if used separately. Famous examples of the latter include any iteration of Eddie from the Guilty Gear series and Carl from the BlazBlue series.
Burst-Bait Combos[edit]
Burst-bait combos are basically combos designed to bait an opponent into using a burst in order to punish them for even more damage. They sometimes do less damage than a normal combo, but if done right and the opponent bursts in the middle of them, their burst should whiff and you should be able to tag them on their burst recovery with a fresh combo.
Meaty Attacks[edit]
An attack that is timed so that the active frames of the move hit a knocked down opponent as they are rising. This is generally done to prevent the opponent mashing when they are getting up, but you can also time overheads, lows and throws to be meaty as well.
Tech Catches[edit]
An attack/series of attacks/actions that can hit opponents during the vulnerable frames of their rolls or quick stands. The stronger tech catches not only catch these options, but can hit meaty as well.
Okizeme is the term for multiple attack options performed as the opponent is getting up after a knockdown. It differs slightly from meaties, as it emphasizes mixup rather than simply attacking the opponent.
Safe jump[edit]
One common okizeme tactic in pretty much any 2d fighter is the safe jump. Safe jumping is basically timing a jump-in attack on a downed opponent so that if the opponent attempts to block on wakeup, you will make contact and be able to maintain pressure, and if the opponent attempts a move with startup invulnerability such as a shoryuken, you will be able to safely block and hopefully punish the reversal move.
In guilty gear, it is also possible to accomplish the same thing with an FD option select. Instead of jumping in, you can run in, hold 1 and p, and press k. Assuming you timed the p correctly, if your opponent blocks, the crouching p should make contact and cancel into a crouching k, but if they attempt a reversal move, the crouching p will whiff and you will FD. Here is a video example.
Mixups are varying your attack options against a defending opponent. This includes highs, lows, throws, and frame traps as needed.
Defensive Techniques[edit]
Defensive Kara Cancels[edit]
Defending Option Selects[edit]
A series of inputs that, when defending, cover multiple options depending on what the opponent does. Things like OS Houtenjin with Hazama (214214A+B) would fall into this category.
Defensive Fuzzy Guard[edit]
Chicken Blocking[edit]
Colloquially referred to as "up-backing", chicken blocking is when a defending opponent attempts to jump out, with the intent of blocking ground attacks in the air.
Special Techniques[edit]
Jump Install[edit]
A technique for tricking the game into thinking you have more aerial options than you should have. The requirements and implications of a jump install can vary depending on the game's mechanics but typically it involves canceling a jump cancel then becoming airborne without normal jumping or recovering. Generally this won't allow you to exceed your character's aerial options (such as triple jumping when you can normally only double jump) but will allow you to bypass special limitations (such as double jumping after a super jump). Another way to rationalize it mentally is that you're tricking the game into treating a grounded move as an aerial move which lifts restrictions the grounded move would normally impose.
Attack Buffering[edit]
Primarily a footsie technique (though it has other uses), attack buffering is hitting another button/inputting a special move after an initial attack. For example, inputting a 2A > 5B - the 5B will only come out if the 2A connects.
Dash Splitting[edit]
Special Guard Cancels[edit]
Metagame Strategies[edit]
Footsies refer to a time where neither player has a distinct advantage over each other - as in, neither player is attacking or defending. Footsies is a neutral time where both players are trying to either approach, or keep the other player away, depending on the situation.
Abare is the Japanese term for attacking from disadvantage (eg. smashing 2P after blocking an attack to beat tick throws), but among US fighting game players, it refers to mashing, "being very random", or "being able to convert into combos from random hits".
The Japanese word for "reading the mind of the opponent". Yomi refers to making a hard read on an opponent - as in, performing an action expecting an opponnet to do a specific action. A common example of an action based on yomi are psychic dp's.
Forced Choice Scenarios[edit]
A situation, usually a defensive one, where a player is forced to choose from a series of adverse/unfavorable options in order to escape. Usually, characters that have very strong okizeme games, like Valkenhayn, Rachel or Litchi, force players in these types of scenarios.
Risk vs. Reward[edit]
Essentially, gauging as towards whether a deed is worth what may happen if it would fail.
A common example of this would be using a DP upon waking up: If the opponent is within range and attempts to attack you after recovery, then activating a DP will probably lead to it landing, dealing it's damage, and placing the round back to neutral or allowing you to combo of it and/ or start your offensive game. However, if your opponent baits the action, and blocks/ FD or Barrier cancels, unless you have the meter to cancel it, this will probably give your opponent enough time within which you are recovering that they can freely hit you with a starter of their choice, perhaps leading towards large damage. There are also other factors to consider other than player action. If the opponent is low within health, perhaps towards the point that they would die from the DP, and you are within a far better state your - self, then the action becomes more advisable. Alternatively, if you your - self have a noticeably low amount of health, towards the point that another combo would probably equal death, then it is much more risky to perform. Another factor within this example would be whether you have enough meter to cancel the move or not. If so, then the risk becomes much less.
Trolling basically means within the Fighting Game Community what it does inside the wider internet: Intentionally doing actions which are generally considered idiotic, or at least not optimal, within an attempt to irritate somebody else, usually, within this case, the other player. This can range from a taunt (Not common, but has some chance of happening within professional play, although it can be considered shoddy sportsmanship.), to intentionally doing something deliriously unsafe or dropping a combo (Almost never presents itself within higher levels of play, due towards being viewed as simply too risky, although it can happen.). Although you may find some enjoyment out of it, if you are playing within a non-casual match, it is probably not advisable, seeing as most methods of it have match losing potential.

The AIM FishBot Phenomenon
When you were a kid and discovered the joys of call waiting and connecting calls, did you ever prank call two different people by dialing them both, connecting them together, and then simply listening in as they accused each other of calling? Hilarity usually ensued, as either they eventually came to the conclusion that they […]
