What Is a PSP File?
A file with the PSP file extension is most likely a Paint Shop Pro Image file. Similar to Photoshop's PSD format, PSP files can store guides, layered images, and other things common with advanced image editing software.
Versions of Paint Shop Pro newer than PSP 8 use the .PSPIMAGE file extension instead.
Some PSP files may instead be Photoshop Preferences files that store settings for Adobe Photoshop. For example, there are a Brushes.psp, Patterns.psp, and Styles.psp file to store settings specific to those functions.
PL/SQL Server Page files that access database information through SQL commands are text files that also use the .PSP file extension.
PSP files can be opened with Corel PaintShop Pro, Adobe Photoshop, ACD Systems Canvas, Chasys Draw IES, IrfanView (with a plugin), GIMP, and possibly some other popular photo and graphics tools as well.
PSP files used by Photoshop and Photoshop Elements for storing preferences probably don't ever need to be opened manually. This is because the PSP files are stored in the Photoshop installation directory and are used automatically when the program is open and being used.
Another way to reset preferences in Photoshop that doesn't involve deleting the PSP files manually is to press and hold the Alt+Ctrl+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac) keyboard shortcut as you're opening Photoshop — you'll be prompted to delete the settings (the PSP files).
PL/SQL Server Page files that are in the .PSP format can be viewed in a browser and edited with a text editor like Notepad in Windows.
If Notepad is too basic for you, see our Best Free Text Editors list for some better options.
If you find that an application on your PC does try to open the PSP file but it's the wrong application or if you would rather have another installed program open PSP files, see our How to Change the Default Program for a Specific File Extension guide for making that change in Windows.
If the PSP file is an image file, you can convert it to another image format like JPG or TIF with the free IrfanView program.
This free online PSP to JPG converter is another option for converting PSP to JPG. It's different than IrfanView because you have to upload the PSP file to the website in order to convert it, but it's also probably much quicker than downloading and installing IrfanView just to convert the file.
PSP files might contain layers like PSD files, but I'm not aware of a file converter that can preserve those layers and convert the PSP directly to PSD. However, you can of course just convert the PSP to JPG and then open it with Photoshop to save it to PSD - again, this won't keep the layers, though.
There's no reason to convert a Photoshop Preferences file into a new format because files of this type are made specifically for Photoshop, so they won't work in any other application even under a different format.
PL/SQL Server Page files can be saved to any other text-based format using a text editor.
Some programs let you rip or copy a PSP (PlayStation Portable) game to an ISO file. If you need to convert that ISO file to a CSO file, you can use Format Factory.

Netflix has confirmed its next series order. Narcos, a serialized take on Pablo Escobar and the Medellin Cartel, received a 10-episode order.
From director Jose Padilha and Gaumont International Television, the latest original will bow in 2015. The project gets an official greenlight with the addition of actor Wagner Moura to star as Escobar. It reunites the actor with his Elite Squad director.
"Jose and Wagner together created one of the most sophisticated and chilling portraits of criminality and official corruption ever in their Elite Squad movies," said Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos. "Their version of the Escobar saga will be like nothing ever seen before."
"Our idea is to tell the true story of how cocaine became such a huge problem in the U.S. and Europe – and how it all started here in Medellin," added Padilha, now preparing Narcos in Colombia.
Narcos is executive produced by Padilha, Eric Newman, Doug Miro, Carlo Bernard and Chris Brancato. It will shoot in Colombia.
"We are so thrilled to be working with Jose and Eric on this gripping and timeless story," said Gaumont International Television CEO Katie O'Connell. "Netflix is the perfect partner to launch this series and we are happy to be working once again with the amazing team there."
On top of Netflix's current roster of originals coming out this year, Narcos will join the third season of House of Cards in 2015 and the recently ordered Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda vehicle Grace and Frankie.

Covering the NATO-led military intervention in Libya has enabled The New York Times, among other outlets, to peg some pretty unconventional datelines--that snippet of text before an article explaining where the journalist is reporting/filing from--to their stories. A few days ago, for example, C.J. Chivers reported from aboard a tugboat--the Al Iradah 6--on rebel efforts to smuggle supplies to the beseiged city of Misrata by sea. But Eric Schmitt may be giving Chivers a run for his money. Today's he's reporting from "Over the Mediterranean Sea," in what appears, from a quick Google and Times search, to be the first time a journalist has filed from aboard an AWACS command-and-control plane.

Dave, 24 Nov 2008Chaibi - can you tell me where you bought the serial cable APCBS21SBE for the Samsung SGH-B130... morehey dave can you please tell me it's IMEI number?
Phone does what i need it to, text and ring.
However it does not store any messages I send, does anyone else have this problem?! I have tried looking and there is an outbox but can't work out how to save sent messages!
DM, 02 Jan 2009Can somebody tell me how to de-activate the sound functions everytime i press any key in my B130use phone setings, then profiles and adjust the melody, keypad tones etc.
I just bought this phone last Jan 10 at 5th Ave in Trinoma and it only costs for P1,550. Its colored and better menu system and resolution than nokia's 1209 and slimmer too! It's my first time to own a samsung phone and for an entry level it surpasses my expectation. Great value for money. I'm using it as my Sun phone. And for the moron who's asking how to cancel the keypad tone just go to settings then select phone then look for keypad. Sometimes I am amazed by the idiocy of some people. Hello? Every phone has its own manual that comes with the package. Read it to avoid asking stupid questions. okay!
Does anyone know if it is possible to make the display remain on. It fades after a number of seconds.

Earlier this week, Khloe Kardashian called off her divorce proceedings with Lamar Odom following his recent hospitalization. Now, the reality star's ex, French Montana, has weighed in on their decision to try to repair their marriage.
"It's a beautiful thing that she's doing," the rapper told the New York Daily News of Kardashian's decision to support Odom, who was found unconscious in a Nevada brothel.
Kardashian and Odom married in 2009, but split four years later amid allegations of drug use and infidelity.

The Secrets of Pemberley- Chapter Fifteen
Posted on March 4, 2018 October 14, 2018 by Rose Fairbanks
Previous Chapters: One / Two / Three / Four / Five / Six / Seven / Eight / Nine / Ten / Eleven / Twelve / Thirteen / Fourteen
A few days later, Darcy arrived in Meryton. Merely being in the same town that Elizabeth grew up in built anticipation in his heart. He knew she remained in Kent, however, his eyes greedily sought her around every shop corner. In addition to asking after Wickham's debts, he would seek out the man himself. As Darcy had suspected, Wickham's spendthrift ways carried through to the Militia. The bulk of his obligations at the milliners. No doubt, small fripperies bought for ladies to impress them with his charm.
Settling the accounts, Darcy then approached where the Regiment stayed on the outskirts of the town. Staying in the officer's common room, Wickham was fetched and brought in.
"Well, Darcy," Wickham drawled. "You seem to ever catch me surprised. What brought this visit?"
"I must speak to you in privacy. Can you send the others away?"
"I am sure they will oblige for a free pint or two."
"Very well," Darcy tossed a few coins at Wickham to hand around so the other men might leave. He rolled his eyes when Wickham kept a few for himself.
"What can I do for you, old boy?" Wickham winked as he sprawled on a settee.
"I have heard you enjoy spreading tales of woe and slandering my name.
"That's nothing new," Wickham shrugged. "It is not my fault some are eager to find justification for thinking ill of you."
"And in the past, I have not taken the trouble to correct it," Darcy said in a warning tone.
"Never say you find yourself actually caring about little Meryton's opinion of you." Wickham scrutinised Darcy for a long moment. "Not the whole town, rather just one person, eh? A lady. Well, I don't see how my lies would keep her from your bed—"
"Shut your mouth," Darcy growled. "Don't you dare say another thing in that direction."
"Oooh," Wickham rubbed his hands together. "Even better! You don't just want to bed her! You must love her! Well, who is it?"
"As usual, you have jumped ahead of yourself. I did not come so you might amend your lies. What care I if you lie when I have the means to prove you wrong?"
Wickham furrowed his brow. "Ah, so we come to the real thorn in your side?" He smirked. "Can you not trust me? Gentleman to gentleman, I will not expose you—or dear Georgiana either."
"She is Miss Darcy to you," Darcy glared. "And you know all trust and respect I had for you evaporated long ago."
"Not to mention neither of us are gentlemen," Wickham laughed.
Darcy chose to not take Wickham's bait. "Here," he handed a packet of papers. "I have your debts. Signed by my solicitor in Town and Mr. Philips here. Sign the agreement to never even hint of anything irregular about mine or my sister's birth, and you need not fear the Fleet."
Wickham's mouth jawed. "You really did this?" He perused the papers. "What would Mr. Darcy say? Holding my life in your hands in such a way! He wanted me independent of you!"
"Do not twist the blame for your indiscretions on me," Darcy said. "You could have had that independence. Sign the paper and keep your vow and I will not use this against you."
Wickham shook his head. "I need more."
"You admit that you meant to keep this as an option to use one day!" Darcy had never been a violent man, but now his blood rushed through his veins and the urge to throttle Wickham built in him.
"Only to blackmail," Wickham rushed to say. "I don't have a Pemberley to fall back on."
"And what if I called your bluff?"
"Would you though? For Miss Darcy's sake…"
Darcy thought for a moment. Will you do nothing for him? He heard in Elizabeth's voice from that terrible dream. "If I do something for you now, you must prove your seriousness in it." He dipped a quill in ink and wrote an addendum to a passage. "Return to the law. You are not suited to the church, and I take it you do not wish for the Regulars."
"Indeed," Wickham said.
"Meet me tomorrow at Mr. Philips' office. We will sell your commission and arrange matters for you at Grey's Inn. You will agree to specific behaviour and monetary constraints. However, I will do all I can to advance your career."
"You would do this?" Wickham asked in a different tone than he had used moments before. "After everything I have done? I told you two years ago my circumstances were very dire—and they were. I would not have attempted the matter with Georgiana—I never thought it would go so far. I thought all along she would write to you and you would arrive, and then I could argue some blunt from you—"
Darcy held up his hands, not wanting to hear anything else. "This really is the last time, George." He held out his hand, and Wickham took it. "Tomorrow at Philips' at one o'clock sharp."
"Thank you, Darcy," Wickham said. Darcy walked to the door, and Wickham called after. "I never would have exposed you. Out of regard for Mr. Darcy and because my father was one of the best men in the world and he begat me: a wastrel. Whatever your parentage, you are a good man."
Although shocked, Darcy merely bowed his head and made his way to the Inn. The following morning, he called upon Sir William Lucas, Mr. Bennet, and Mrs. Long before arriving at the solicitor's office. Every person he had met with expressed surprise to see him which humbled him anew.
Despite his embarrassment, he took the time to listen to each person's news. Sir William blathered about the joy of meeting Lady Catherine and finding his daughter well set up. Darcy reckoned if he were a father, he might be thankful for a woman like her ladyship in his daughter's life. Mrs. Long talked at length about how inconvenient she would find it to keep a carriage when she so seldom leaves the house, and her young nieces can walk to town. Darcy entirely agreed with her, and it seemed to put her at ease.
Mr. Bennet teased him in his sly way, reminding Darcy of Elizabeth. He had asked if Bingley came as well and appeared disappointed until Darcy confirmed that he had often seen him at Gracechurch street in the company of Jane. Then, the older man's lips twitched as though to conceal laughter. When he spoke of keeping it a secret from his wife, his eyes twinkled. As much as Darcy had judged the patriarch as indolent and selfish but perhaps he merely enjoyed a joke more than Darcy did and found it hard to navigate waters needing weightier actions. George Darcy had been similar.
All in all, it was a productive trip to Meryton and one full of startling revelations. Convinced he would never see the place again, Darcy felt wistful as he left. It really had been a charming town and the place he imagined many a lad and lass met their heart's love to begin their happy lives. If only such had been part of his tale. Sighing, he pressed his horse onward to London.
A few days after Darcy returned from Meryton, he took Georgiana shopping. Making an effort to join in her activities, he confessed he had not considered before how confined ladies' lives were. Georgiana had lessons with various art and music masters and spent a portion of each day reading. At her pleading, Darcy allowed her to drop sessions of French language study. For most of his life, Britain had been at war with France, and while the day might come when it would be safe to travel again, he hardly supposed she would need to be as conversant as a native. To fill the moments of boredom and dullness, Darcy discovered Georgiana—and judging by the crowds of women on the street most other ladies as well—shopped. It did not matter that she had bought ribbons for a new bonnet yesterday. Today specific thread was needed.
"I truly appreciate you coming with me," Georgiana smiled up at him as she walked on his arm.
"It is my pleasure," he returned the smile. "Would you care for any new music? The shop you favour is just around the corner."
"If I could, I would buy every speck of music I could find and then I would have no money left for all these fripperies," she laughed.
Darcy joined her as the image of their London house being filled from corner to corner with sheet music filled his head. At least he could discuss music. He had little of use to say regarding ribbons and lace.
"Is that not Mr. Bingley?" Georgiana interrupted Darcy's musings.
Looking around, Darcy found his friend in the company of Mrs. Gardiner and Jane.
"Who are the ladies he speaks to?" she asked. "They look so elegant but do not have the superior look I often meet with."
"Would you like to meet them?"
Georgiana shyly nodded, and Darcy lead her to his friend. "Bingley," he called.
"Darcy," Bingley turned and grinned. "A pleasure to see you about. Miss Darcy, you are looking well," he bowed.
"Thank you," Georgiana curtsied and then turned anxious eyes on Darcy.
"Georgiana, allow me to introduce Mrs. Gardiner and Miss Jane Bennet. Miss Bennet is one of Bingley's neighbours in Hertfordshire and Mrs. Gardiner is her aunt. Ladies, may I present my sister Miss Darcy."
After the requisite curtsies, Georgiana smiled at Miss Bennet. "How did you find Rosings?"
"I am afraid that was my sister. Lizzy arrives tomorrow, but from her letters, she…she found much to observe."
Darcy thought that strange wording, but then he supposed Miss Bennet attempted to soften Elizabeth's pointed wit.
"Now, I recall," Georgiana said. "Fitzwilliam wrote to me from Hertfordshire. You have many sisters, do you not?"
"I am the eldest of five," Jane smiled.
"How I wish I had a sister!"
Darcy chuckled. "I regret that I am not a female."
"Oh, that is not how I meant it!" Georgiana blushed. "I would never wish you away, but the companionship of a sister would be nice. Perhaps if you ever marry."
"We must continue our shopping," Mrs. Gardiner said, "but we would be most pleased to see you again, Miss Darcy. You must come the next time your brother calls."
Georgiana grinned. "I would love that!"
"Sir, I am surprised we have not seen you in the last week," Mrs. Gardiner scolded.
"Forgive me, I have had many affairs to tend to. I should not want to call when Miss Elizabeth has just arrived. We will call after that."
"And then you must all dine with us," Georgiana offered without hesitation.
"In that case, you had better come tomorrow. The girls are returning to Hertfordshire by Saturday."
"I would hate to intrude on any family plans," Darcy said. He nervously glanced at Bingley, hoping his friend could extract him from the awkwardness, but Bingley was speaking with Jane.
"We have no fixed plans," Mrs. Gardiner smiled. "Except more shopping, that is. Miss Darcy, would you care to join us?"
"Could I, Brother?" she asked with pleading blue eyes.
"Certainly." It tore at his heart to consider Georgiana becoming Elizabeth's friend. He had imagined a closer relationship between them.
"It is quite settled then. We will see you at Gracechurch street tomorrow and then the next day will be shopping and dinner at Darcy House."
"Splendid!" Georgiana bounced on her toes and even clapped her hands.
The Gardiner party and Bingley left after settling on a time for tomorrow's meeting. The two siblings finished their shopping and returned home in very different states of mind.
When Darcy and Georgiana arrived at the Gardiner house the following day, Darcy could barely breathe to contain his anxiety in seeing Elizabeth again. Had she read his letter? In his dream, she had not. The first letter he wrote, the one he later burned before giving her, he had thought it was most important for Elizabeth to know the truth about Wickham and by explaining his failures, it would tell about Darcy as well. He held some pride she might, at least, rue her refusal. After his dream, he wrote her the full truth and did not care in the least about defending himself or puffing himself up. He wrote not to preserve his pride, but to humble himself.
He also believed he would never see her again.
Would she meet him with censure in her eyes? Darcy did not believe she would gossip. Still, she was very close to her sisters and her aunt. Would she tell them? They had not treated him with anything but civility, but perhaps Elizabeth would wait to reveal it them in person. All thought ceased when he was shown to the Gardiner sitting room, and Elizabeth, lovelier than ever, was finally before him again and surrounded by children with enough familial features to tug at his heart.
"Lizzy," Jane said, "This is Miss Darcy."
"I am pleased to meet you," Elizabeth said with a gentle smile for Darcy's sister.
"And I you," Georgiana returned the smile. "I recall from my brother's letters you enjoy music, Miss Elizabeth."
"I do," Elizabeth answered. "Children, it is time for you to return upstairs and let us visit. Miss Darcy, you may sit next to me."
"No!" A little Gardiner through chubby arms around Elizabeth's neck. "My Lizbef."
Elizabeth laughed, tossing shiny curls as she shook her head and Darcy's breath caught. Her eyes twinkled, and the pain in his heart was so acute, he thought he might pass out.
"Come along," Mrs. Gardiner said as she came to save her niece. "Elizabeth is correct. Pardon our manners, Mr. Darcy. Please seat yourself."
Her words jolted life back into Darcy. Surely this encounter would be more natural if he were in a chair. The children were taken upstairs and everyone seated as tea was served. Darcy tried to not allow the usual awkward feeling settle in him. Bingley arrived and talked with Jane. Georgiana and Elizabeth conversed about music which left Darcy to speak with Mrs. Gardiner. Elizabeth cast curious looks at them.
"My steward has written to me of an estate which will soon become available that is only five miles from Lambton," Darcy said to Mrs. Gardiner.
"But five miles!" The woman grinned and pressed a hand to her heart. "Oh, that would be ideal!"
Darcy smiled at her enthusiasm. "I do not know the condition of the estate. The house has been unoccupied for many years and only a steward in charge of the tenants and land."
"I am not afraid of a bit of hard work and patience. Besides, it is family which makes a house a home."
Darcy glanced at Elizabeth, surprised to see her eyes upon him again. Yes, with no family a house was a mere set of bricks. "There is a difficulty," Darcy admitted. "They want everything settled by Midsummer day. I believe that is earlier than you and Mr. Gardiner had planned."
Mrs. Gardiner pursed her lips and looked at Jane and Bingley for a moment before replying. "True, the timing is not perfect, but the location is."
Her eyes shone, and Darcy believed he saw a smirk before she raised her cup to her lips. "I will be certain to pass the information on to my husband."
"Perfect," Darcy said. "He and I can discuss it more at dinner tomorrow."
"Yes, you certainly will!" Mrs. Gardiner grinned, and Darcy felt his lips lifting in response.
"Fitzwilliam," Georgiana said from the nearby settee, "Elizabeth has suggested a music shop I have not visited before. May we start there tomorrow?"
"Of course. Anything you prefer."
Georgiana beamed then turned to Elizabeth. "He is the best brother."
Darcy felt a flush creeping up his neck.
"I am sure it is effortless to be such a wonderful brother to a sister like you," Elizabeth said and squeezed Georgiana's hand.
Pain lanced Darcy's heart again. He had neglected Georgiana so much. She was so vulnerable and fragile, so wanting love from anyone. Here Elizabeth was, offering her friendship as freely as he always knew she would. If he had ruined anything that might have been between him and Elizabeth, at the very least, he could be thankful for this moment. Realizing that Georgiana could find healing and friendship through this eased the pain in Darcy's heart. Still, he was grateful when the clock struck a quarter after the hour.
"Thank you very much," Darcy said to Mrs. Gardiner as he stood, "for your hospitality. Shall we gather at eleven tomorrow?"
"Certainly," Mrs. Gardiner replied.
Georgiana rose with reluctance but also made her goodbyes. Darcy remained perfectly polite to Elizabeth and Jane, who betrayed nothing less than the usual civility to him. Once in the carriage returning to his home, Darcy sighed in relief. The first meeting was over. Perhaps now he could be comfortable in Elizabeth's presence. They would shop together tomorrow as nothing more than indifferent acquaintances, and while his heart still longed for more, he told himself to adapt to it. It was all that would ever be between them.

Indifferent acquaintances???? No, that will not do!
Poor Darcy is doing his best and now I think he deserves to be rewarded with Elizabeth's love.
At least then she can help him to deal with any other problems.
Ah, we know…at least we think we know…that Elizabeth's opinions are changing. My heart does go out to Georgiana as she is so needy for love and friendship. Hopefully great strides will be made during the next day and dinner. Thanks for the chapter.

Exclusive Interview With Youtube Celebrity Keenan Cahill
Hey Buzznet pals,
You may recognize the name Keenan Cahill from one of the many amazing videos of him on Youtube! He has managed to get over 650 followers on Youtube and work with TONS of celebs, check out my interview with him!
For those who have yet to check you out, describe yourself in 3 words.
KC: Determined, Survivor & Funny
Your first youtube video that went viral was for Katy Perry's song, what gave you the idea to do this?
KC: I saw the video for "Teenage Dream" and I liked it. I thought it would just be something fun to do and a great song to lip-sync to. I didn't expect to post it and have Katy Perry tweet the link out a few hours later. I also didn't expect her to tweet me. Meeting her two years later in Philadelphia was also amazing.
You have worked with tons of big names now including Justin Bieber, Cody Simpson and Maroon 5, who was your favorite?
KC: I haven't worked with Maroon 5. I keep hearing that. Perez Hilton & I did a video to their song "Moves Like Jagger" I don't have a favorite. They were all really great experiences. My first experience with 50 Cent was great, but I was nervous the entire time. I had never shot videos in front of people. I had a small audience watching. We also have some unreleased videos with One Republic & Owl City. If I had to pick one I would say I enjoyed working with Katy Perry because I got to shoot a video with her and I got to go on stage with her in Philadelphia & Chicago.
Who do you want to work with next?
KC: Chris Brown & Lil Wayne are at the top of my list. I got called to Chris' dressing room in Chicago by his people. Chris was running late, so we didn't get to do anything. Lil Wayne would be amazing.
What are your main goals for the upcoming year?
KC: My goal is to release my 3rd single "Closer." It's a dance-hip hip song. I have two very talented Scottish twins named SHY & DRS. Mark & Darren Scott are fraternal twins who rap. They have an amazing song called "Relapse" I worked with them on a few years ago. I'm also going to start touring again. I just returned from Australia. I performed at an event called VidInc with Jenna Marbles, Ryan Higga, Paint, Tobuscus & 20 others. It was an amazing time. I'm also finishing up my last year of HS. So, as someone is reading this I am sitting in a classroom completely bored out of my mind.
How has life changed since you became an online celebrity?
KC: Well, life isn't too different. I go to school 5 days per week and on the weekends & holidays I get to travel. A lot of famous people have come to my house to shoot videos. I've got to appear on some great shows like America's Got Talent, America's Next Top Model and American Music Awards. I've met some awesome people. The best part of this whole thing is the networking. You meet someone who introduces you to someone else. An example my manager gets a call from Sony who wants me to do a video with the Victorious cast. A month later I'm having brunch at Ariana Grande's house. It's crazy how it just happens.
If you could do a lip sync battle with anyone who would you choose?
KC: I think I would like to lip-sync battle Justin Timberlake. I think he could give me a run for my money.
You were nominated for a Teen Choice Award, that must of been an incredible experience right?
KC: It was surprising and I was honored to be nominated. The award shows are fun because backstage you run into almost everyone. The best show is American Music Awards because every artist is just walking around backstage and you literally meet everyone at the show.
Who has been your biggest inspiration throughout your career?
KC: My biggest inspirations are honestly the emails from parents & kids who contact me and their manager (a lot of them have a disease or live in another country) that tell me that my videos help their child (or them) feel better about themselves because they are sick or bullied at school. They see me and think, "if he did it, then I can probably do it." It's difficult to get discovered on YouTube now, but you should always try! But, the person that I will always thank is Chelsea Handler. She paired me up with 50 Cent, she had me on her show twice and she got me in the Smartwater commercial with Jennifer Aniston. She is a great person.
Any advice for readers and your fans?
KC: My advice is don't listen to the haters (or anyone who tells you "you can't do it). Do it. You only get one life so make it your own and don't worry what others will say or think. You are doing this for you and no one else. You have to try. I was enrolled in an acting school. After 3 years the people told me I would never act or sing. Now, they use my photo as a "success story." I can honestly say if you want to act, start locally. Just don't let anyone tell you can't do something.
What is your favorite video from Keenan?

Hockey Chirping 101
Anyone who has played the game of hockey knows all about the chirping that goes on from the bench and on the ice. There's been some memorable ones throughout hockey history such as Brad Richards "Fantasy Camp" and Bryan Trottier and Kevin Stevens ripping into Brian Bellows. It's part of the game, and you'll still find it during Sunday night beer leagues where verbal exchanges can get pretty heated.
Here are some pointers to help out the less creative knuckleheads out there
To "The Bad Bucket/The All-Star"
In a league where mostly everyone is wearing cages (some guys gotta work the next day), this can be harder, but if the guy is wearing a Jofa helmet feel free to refer to it as a garbage can or a Swedish toilet. Also, anyone with a full helmet visor is fair game for chirps ranging in "Bubble Boy" to "Fishbowl" and asking this player if he needs his kids to wash it in the driveway on the weekends is a good way to get under their skin. In most leagues these days there will be a few guys that don't wear a visor or cage and skate around like they are playing pro. A good chirp for them is to tell them they are "still living the dream" or that their face is so far beyond repair that they shouldn't bother protecting it anymore. This will forsure get any ex-Junior A plug crossing checking you next time you are on the ice.
To "The Bum That Can't Skate"
It always seems like the guys that trip you into the boards or cross checks you in front of the net in a pickup game is usually the biggest plug on the ice. Commenting on his house league skating style is a great way to piss him off or comparing him to the skating style of former Maple Leaf Brian Curran is always a good start. You can let the chirps escalate to ankle burning by asking "How much tape did you use on your ankles today?" and letting the player know that he's the first person you've ever seen play an entire game on their ankles. If you want to get really nasty, let them know that they skate like Lieutenant Dan.
To "The Tommy Try Hard"
There is always that guy who tries so hard and back checks on you like it's Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. This is great in competitive play, but playing some shinny hockey with buddies it gets a little old. Some useful chirps for this go-getter are "Easy Game Seven" and chanting "Rudy, Rudy, Rudy" as he skates up the ice. If this player does something like block a shot in a blowout game make sure to remind them that there's no scouts in the crowd.
To "The Show Off"
Everybody has played at different levels and sometimes there is that guy out there that is so much better than everyone else. He will dangle a bit, but for the most part these guys know they are a step up and will dish it off more often and not show off that much. These are the guys we all respect. But then you get the guy that feels the need to remind everybody on the ice that they are hacks and he is god with a stick. It's best to remind these players about their youth hockey with chirps such as "You must have played AA hockey as a kid" as this will piss off any guy that played AAA or Junior and don't forget to comment that perhaps his Daddy got him on his Minor Midget team with his wallet.
To "The Stats Guy"
Ever since the game of hockey began there was that guy trying to get the 2nd assist by skating up to the ref after a goal letting him know his jersey number. You know this is the same guy who e-mails the league office for stat corrections too. There are so many chirps for this guy, and he deserves them all. You can call him "Stat Tracker", "2nd Assist" or "Paul STATSny", but the easiest way to upset this guy is to inform him that there is no scoring title and noone will believe that a guy who can barely shoot can be a point-per-game player.
If all else fails, we guess you can make fun of their girlfriend/wife.... What's your favourite chirp?

I always loved Reggie Dunlop in Slapshot:
Hey Hanrahan! Hanrahan! Hanrahan - Suzanne sucks pussy! Hey Hanrahan she's a dyke! I know, I know! She's a lesbian, a lesbian, a lesbian!
Chirping the goalie
Jere March 8, 2012 at 1:10 PM
"They Skate like Lieutenant Dan"
I usually just refer to the opponent as wet puss. Or politely tell him "you don't play so well."
After a guy misses an easy goal or screws up a deke I like to ask how he eats/jerks off with no hands
Love this, I wish it were longer. Can't wait to use "Game 7" and a few others at the next beer league game. Classic.
Jenks March 9, 2012 at 1:38 PM
@Kazi
Love that chirp from Slapshot
I always wanted a go at Suzanne lol
I usually just say I'm going to breaking my stick over ur fu**ing head
Hey, my skates are getting dull. Can I use your hands as a stone?
nice hands feet
I've seen better wheels on a canoe...

NORTH AMERICAN REGIONAL CONFERENCE 2021
On 25 August 2021, 107 women, 2 husbands, and Spiritual Advisors gathered in Arlington, Virginia (USA), for the 2021 WUCWO North America Region Conference with the theme, Make Me A Channel of Your Peace.
Maribeth Stewart Blogoslawski, Vice President for North America, welcomed the attendees. Afterward, there was a ceremony of remembrance when representatives of each of the member organizations of the North America Region placed a lighted votive candle before the statue of Mary after which we prayed for the deceased members of our organizations.
Following this touching Remembrance Service, we had Holy Mass with the principal celebrant being the Most Rev. James Stembler.
After a break during which the stage was re-set for the meeting, we gathered in our places and started the next segment with the presentation of the flags and anthems of the two countries comprising the North America Region. An additional flag was presented that was designed for our North America Region and while that flag was carried in and joined with the national flags on stage, the Hymn to Mary, Queen of Peace was sung.
Maribeth then read greetings sent to the conference from the Apostolic Nuncio to the USA, Archbishop Christophe Pierre, who extended the Apostolic Blessing from His Holiness, Pope Francis to all present. This was followed by a lovely letter from Dr. Linda Ghisoni, Undersecretary of the Dicastery for Laity, Family, and Life. We then enjoyed a letter of welcome from the Bishop of Arlington, the Most Reverend Michael Bransfield. Our final letter of greeting was from the Chair of the Arlington County Board, Matt de Ferranti.
We then enjoyed greetings from the following:
-The President General of WUCWO, María Lía Zervino, Servidora, presented as a video due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions that prevented our Canadian and Italian women from attending in person;
-The President of the National Council of Catholic Women, Jean Kelly;
-The President of the Catholic Women's League of Canada, Fran Lucas (presented as a video);
-The Canadian representative to the WUCWO Board, Marusia Kobrynsky (presented as a video);
-The Supreme Lady of the Knights of Peter Claver Ladies Auxiliary, Micaela LeBlanc; and
-The President of the Friends of NCCW for WUCWO, Patty Sommerhauser
After we heard from our first speaker who addressed the WUCWO Resolution, A HEALTHY PLANET DEPENDS ON ALL OF US. Dan Misleh, Executive Director of the Catholic Climate Covenant, presented the effects of climate change based upon the science of the issue and then provided hope as he detailed the mitigating projects that are in place with more to follow.
Following Dan's informative talk, Father Stembler led us in the Angelus and a Luncheon Blessing. Maribeth then asked us to proceed to the luncheon salon where we celebrated WUCWO's 110th Birthday.
We had lunch with our special placemats wearing our Happy Birthday tiaras, and "playing" with our blowers and the Happy Birthday balloons that floated above our tables. We sang Happy Birthday to WUCWO when we had birthday cake and ice cream for dessert.
Molly Whalen, State Director, Capitol Region, of Best Buddies International, described the tremendous impact we can have on the lives of those who have intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD). This wonderful organization, Best Buddies International, has programs that help those with IDD form meaningful friendships in school and with their peers, secure successful jobs, live independently and develop leadership skills. In short, to feel valued by society. It was a talk that made many present resolved to determine if this organization was present in their states and well addressed WUCWO's second resolution, LET US TAKE CARE OF THE FAMILY IN DIFFICULT SITUATIONS, ESPECIALLY ITS MOST VULNERABLE MEMBERS.
Our next speaker addressed the third WUCWO resolution, the LET US ELIMINATE DISCRIMINATION AND VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN. Kathy Bonner, a noted speaker on Domestic Violence, provided a presentation that gave shocking statistics and true stories on the prevalence of this issue at every level of society. She then detailed the resources available from the National Council of Catholic Women to educate women and teens on domestic violence, teaching us what to say, how to respond, and urging us to extend this information to all, including our legislators.
Our final speaker of the day was Maribeth Stewart Blogoslawski, who addressed the fourth WUCWO resolution on LET US EDUCATE TO RESPOND TO THE CALL TO HOLINESS. Like all our presenters, Maribeth accompanied her talk with PowerPoint slides that visually demonstrated the points made. She assured us that every one of us was created to be a saint and noted that our Church provides the way to do this.
We next heard a lovely video address from our WUCWO President General who complimented the dedication of our North American Region organizations on their work and commitment to WUCWO. She detailed some of the work being accomplished due to WUCWO's closer ties with Vatican offices and noted some of the upcoming meetings such as the third conference with women from the Middle East to be held in Athens, Greece and our next General Assembly to be held in Assisi, Italy (travel restrictions due to the pandemic permitting). While the dates of these meetings may need to be adjusted due to the pandemic, work continues to prepare for them, and we look forward to the day when we can joyfully meet again in person with our sisters from around the world!
After María Lía's lovely address, we had Table Discussion Time. Scribes were appointed for each table to note the comments of those at their table concerning a set of questions that pertained to the presentations of the day. The papers were
collected and a summary of the responses for each question has been sent to all in attendance at the Conference.
Finally, the Final Declaration of the Conference was ratified by acclamation.
North America Regional Conference FINAL DECLARATION 2021
The Conference closed at 5pm with Father Stembler leading the Prayer to Mary, Queen of Peace.

From New York Times bestselling author John Lescroart, a riveting novel featuring Dismas Hardy and Abe Glitsky on the hunt for clues about a woman who has gone missing. On the evening before Thanksgiving, Hal Chase, a guard in the San Francisco County Jail, drives to the airport to pick up his step-brother for the weekend. When they return, Hal's wife, Katie, has disappeared without a clue. By the time Dismas Hardy hears about this, Katie has been missing for five days. The case strikes close to home because Katie had been seeing Hardy's wife, a marriage counselor. By this time, the original Missing Persons case has become a suspected homicide, and Hal is the prime suspect. And the lawyer he wants for his defense is none other than Hardy himself. Hardy calls on his friend, former homicide detective Abe Glitsky, to look into the case. At first it seems like the police might have it right; the Chases' marriage was fraught with problems; Hal's alibi is suspect; the life insurance policy on Katie was huge. But Glitsky's mission is to identify other possible suspects, and there proves to be no shortage of them: Patti Orosco-rich, beautiful, dangerous, and Hal's former lover; the still unknown person who had a recent affair with Katie; even Hal's own step-mother Ruth, resentful of Katie's gatekeeping against her grandchildren. And as Glitsky probes further, he learns of an incident at the San Francisco jail, where Hal works-only one of many questionable inmate deaths that have taken place there. Then, when Katie's body is found not three blocks from the Chase home, Homicide arrests Hal and he finds himself an inmate in the very jail where he used to work, a place full of secrets he knows all too well. Against this backdrop of conspiracy and corruption, ambiguous motives and suspicious alibis, an obsessed Glitsky closes in on the elusive truth. As other deaths begin to pile up he realizes, perhaps too late, that the next victim might be himself.

Who is the #23 prospect in the Mets system?
Post subject: Who is the #23 prospect in the Mets system?
Post subject: Re: Who is the #23 prospect in the Mets system?
Crismatt, Cortes, Uriarte to round out the top 25.
I voted for... Thompson here. Clear drop-off for me after Santos. I like Thompson as a potential regular 3B more than Toffey, so I figured this was a decent spot for him.
Will be voting for Guillorme when he's on the list.
I'm surprised at how little support AHern is getting, though. Figured he'd be next.
Carpio is my next guy though. Still very young, and supposedly is finally healed from the shoulder injury. I've heard his arm looks good again and suddenly he popped 12 homers out of nowhere...he was pretty highly touted too iirc. In any case, just need the hit tool to improve (he has solid BB/K rate) ...would love if him and Giminez are the DP combo in AA to start.
Problem I have with Carpio in this range is that even when he was a highly-touted prospect in rookie ball he was never supposed to be a guy who was sure to stick at SS... And the profile needs to be a viable SS. Power tool seems to be better than expected but the hit tool seems to be worse than expected. There's a huge variable of potential outcomes for Carpio and some of them end up with him as a major leaguer but I'm not sure the range is in a good enough spot to justify him over some of the guys on this list. Like putting Carpio over Guillorme would be absolutely ridiculously, crazily insane.
Nido running away with it!! If there isn't some movement I'm making an executive decision and calling this at 10 am.
I think the case for Carpio is that he at least showed some bat for stretches and that he more or less held his own in the FSL at just 21. So the jury is really still out on whether it's anything more than a UT profile. But I guess that possibility exists if he takes another step fwd with the stick this year.
With Guillorme, is there really any question about him topping out as a UT? And the weird way that Mickey used him this year doesn't really impact that view.

She was born in Bournemouth, has a UK birth certificate and a British passport. However the minor bureaucrat she spoke to today informed her she may not be eligible to remain in the UK <what?>. It was suggested she attend an interview in Oxford and bring evidence of proof of identify. Large canal network…. you find her!
Well there are now only three remaining cupboard doors to be made and fitted in the back cabin. Today we finished the trim on four other doors before hanging them. The one for the electrical cabinet was then removed as it will eventually need holes cut in it for all the instruments and gauges.
Richard and I have scribed and cut the panel for the freezer drawer and the storage locker above it. I've decided this locker should have twin doors swinging horizontally. Initially I considered a lifting door but changed my mind. Jan made the comment "All the space in the back cabin is disappearing!" Actually, she is right. But we are certainly gaining a significant amount of storage capacity.
During the day I looked at the planned setup for the black water tank gauge. It will require a 104mm diameter hole to be cut in the top of the tank. The mounting bracket will be bolted over the hole and the actual sender unit is threaded into the bracket. There are three float probes in the sender (empty, half-full & full). I'm advised the probes are likely to eventually "clog up" from the content of the tank (wonder what that is?). However the sender can be unscrewed from the mounting and flushed clean. I guess it won't be too onerous a task (for Jan) to clean the sender probes on an annual basis. The display gauge will be digital (LED's) and mounted with all the other gauges. Waiouru's holding tank is only 12" high and goes across the entire rear cabin floor. It appears the best position for the gauge sender unit in on the centre line. The plan is to install it under the base of the rear steps.
James has finished the shelving in the port bedroom wardrobe. There are two shelves in the top of the wardrobe. The lower one is adjustable. A clothes rail will be fitted below the send shelf. At the bottom of the wardrobe there is a third shelf. The gap between the clothes rail and the 3rd shelf is approximately the height of a jacket. I was too busy varnish to take a photo of the final product. Maybe tomorrow!
Oh-oh! British beauracracy! We're just waiting for Barry's new passport to arrive then will book our tickets and apply for his visa with a data - hopefully all will go through smoothly!
I suspect the problem is the system is structured around non british people requiring a National Insurance Number. Jan being born british should already have one. It's just too difficult for them to find it.
Best of luck with Barry's visa application. We'll see you out on the cut in 2013.


<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />Type 'James Brown' into a search engine or a sample-source website and you're going to get back pages and pages of hits.
So many that you'll initially think you made a mistake. But no, it isn't a mistake. James Brown samples are just that prevalent. James is listed as The-Breaks.com's number one most-sampled artist ever. And his total sample count of 903 is more than triple that of the nearest contender.
It's said that J.B. makes millions per year on sample-related royalties alone.
So why? Why did James Brown's music have such a pull on all of us?
The answer is actually simple. It's rhythm.
James Brown, the maestro managed to turn his entire band into a rhythm instrument. And by 'entire band' I don't just mean the traditional rhythm section of the drummer and the bass player.
Listen closely to the horn riffs on "Funky Drummer" or "Get Up, Get Into It." That's rhythmic—not harmonic or melodic. Listen to the classic 'chicken-scratching' of the guitar on "The Payback." Again, that's rhythm.
By the late 1960s and early '70s, the period most-favored by hip-hoppers, J.B. was deep into his 'New Super Super Heavy Funk' phase. Even his vocals were rhythmic. He chant, spoke and grunted his way through nearly every record.
There was virtually no attempt on J.B.'s part to actually 'sing.' He'd eschewed melody and harmony almost entirely to create symphonies of pure rhythm.

Truthfully, trying to take a brief look into the world of J.B is like trying to write a brief history of the universe, but we're going to give it a shot anyway. To keep the job manageable, and keep this post down to a readable length, I'm going to limit the list to five and keep my comments brief . So here, in reverse order, are hip-hop's five favorite J.B. breaks ever.
For me, these two tracks from the J.B.'s - the Godfather's backup band - were the jaw-droppers. Even back when my musical diet consisted of 95% rap and 5% reggae, I'd heard enough classic soul around the house to know my hip-hop heroes were rapping over lifted loops.
If you're familiar with Golden Age-era hip-hop and you haven't heard either one of these, you're in for a surprise.
What about the soul sisters in the background?
This one has been chopped up so frequently and so completely, that it's hard for me to hear it as an actual song. For someone with hip-hop ears, "Funky President" sounds more like a megamix of rap breaks than it sounds like a musical performance by an actual band. How's that for weird? A sample source that has been sampled so much that it starts to sound like a mix of samples.
Number one by far. And, I can say with certainty that the 182 records listed on The-Breaks.com are only the tip of a very large, wide and deep iceberg. Remember, The-Breaks lists only verifiable samples and nearly all of them are from the world of hip-hop.
But like the 'Amen' break, the break from "Funky Drummer" has become ubiquitous enough that it is no longer always thought of as an actual sample, and its use certainly isn't contained to hip-hop.
These days, the James Brown beat can turn up anywhere: Commercials, pop tunes, movie soundtracks, random NBA dancers' halftime routines, embarrassingly bad Madonna/Lenny Kravitz records, literally anywhere.
The "Funky Drummer" break may have began as a fragment of a song, but it's become an integral part of the soundscape of the modern world. The thing is, someone had to play that beat. That someone is James Brown's main man and master funk drummer Clyde Stubblefield. With the possible exception of the 'Amen' break's G.C. Coleman, Stubblefield is probably the most unwittingly prolific session musician in the history of recorded music itself.
When you consider that rap music in its essential form is nothing but vocal rhythms (MCing) layered over drum rhythms (DJing) with no melody or harmony, it shouldn't be surprising that hip-hop and James Brown would fit so well together.
In fact, the Godfather of Hip-Hop himself, DJ Kool Herc has been quoted as saying that if it weren't for James Brown, there would no such thing as hip-hop. All I can say to that is 'amen.' (No pun intended.) This one's for you, J.B. Rest in Peace!

Hush mah mouff! It's James Brown!
Little did I know bout how much he meant to hip hop. I mean, I know he is an influence, but to the extent you're reportin here . . . damn!
Funk is a process; a process changing one's perception of self in time and space. One of the greatest songs in the history of popular black music is James Brown's sixties soul classic, 'Say It Loud, I'm Black And I'm Proud'. Never before had any popular entertainer captured the mood of Black people.
It was The Godfather dancing under the white hot and exacting glare of television light. Adorned in black silk papa humped and slid, leaving sweaty images of obsidian Jesus on the back of his shirt and shinning images of Blackness in the national consciousness. They hated James. We loved him. As we raised our voices in song a dark cloud of polution also billowed as hundreds gathered to burn James' records. Now they love him. And We hate to see mug shots of him on every national news telecast and tabloid; hair laid to the side 'processed' like unfortunate strands of genocide. Good song though!
