Introductionwolf, carnivorous mammal of the genus Canis in the dog family. Once distributed over most of the Northern Hemisphere, wild wolves are now confined to the wilder parts of a reduced range. Three wolf species (the gray wolf, red wolf, and coyote) are generally recognized, although there is much local variation within them.
Other living members of the genus Canis include the jackal and the dog, which is classified as a subspecies ( Canis lupus familiaris of the gray wolf. All Canis species can interbreed, producing fertile offspring; the Eskimos have interbred wolves and dogs to produce hardy animals for pulling sleds. The maned wolf, Chrysocyon brachyurus, found in wooded areas of central South America, is not a true wolf, although it is a canine (member of the dog family). It has extremely long, stiltlike legs and an erectile mane on the neck. Strand wolf is a name for the brown hyena (not a canine) of Africa. The aardwolf is also a member of the hyena family.

Kingsport carousel announcement planned
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - Kingsport Mayor Dennis Phillips plans to announce what the city is calling a major new development in the Carousel Project.
In a press release, the city announced there will be a press conference Wednesday at noon at the Farmers Market.
The city says the Carousel Project is a volunteer effort founded by the late Gale Joh. They say hundreds of volunteers have carved and painted animals, rounding boards and other elements.
As part of the project, mechanics are helping restore the vintage 1956 Herschel frame the carousel rides on. The city estimates more than 200 people will have participated in the project by the time the Carousel is completed in the spring of 2014.
The city says donations to the project have totaled more than $260,000. The goal is $500,000.

|In response to Re: mildew smelling water
: I have scanned several forums, and this problem is a recurring one. I replaced a kitchen faucet and then started to notice a mildew smell in the first 10 seconds of water discharge. After 10 sec or so it'd gone. I don't get this with the hot water line, or in the bathroom sink, shower or toilet. I have replaced the supply hoses from the shut-off to the new faucet, but the problem still persists. I seems to occur in the warmer spring and summer times and stop in the cooler fall and winter times. I have narrowed it down to the faucet and supply line, and not the drain as some posters are telling others. What is this? Can it be solved?

When To Make The Call
On Thursday, with the Royals off, those of us with Metro Sports in Kansas City were fortunate to get a viewing of the Omaha Storm Chasers. It was a Triple-A marquee matchup as Jake Odorizzi squared off against Roy Oswalt.
Plenty of subplots, too… Sal Perez joined the team for his first rehab start as a designated hitter. And Chris Getz. (Yeah, I know.) Then there was the continuing saga of the Wil Myers Electric Power Show.
It was an opportunity for Kansas City based Royals fans to get a glimpse of the future. And it looks promising. Still.
So, when will the Royals call up Myers and Odorizzi? I know, I know… We've all been pondering that very question.
Let's address Myers first.
Adding a grand slam to his prodigious power totals he now has 39 extra base hits (16 doubles, 2 triples and 21 home runs) in 212 at bats. Roughly an extra base hit every five at bats. Which could work out to roughly one a game. Awesome.
(Please… Don't be extra impressed that the kid hit his slam off Oswalt. He's not even close to being in "game" shape. Just be impressed that he hit another bomb. Good enough.)
In 35 games in Double-A, Myers hit .343/.414/.731. In his first 20 games since moving to Triple-A, he's posted a line of .324/.375/.703. He hasn't missed a beat in making the climb up the organizational ladder.
I think the "Super Two" status is a non-starter. It has been an issue because the new collective bargaining agreement expands the pool of super two eligibles from 17 percent to 22 percent. That pushes the date later in the season. According to MLB Trade Rumors, the cutoff for super two status in 2012 is going to be 134 days. Last year, it was 146 days. By my calculations, today is the 64th day of the 2012 season. A full season generally lasts 183 days. That means if a player makes his debut on Friday and stays in the majors the rest of the season, he will accrue 119 days of service time. (As a measuring stick, the Braves Tommy Hanson made his debut on June 7, 2009 and accrued 120 days of service time.) It looks like we're past the cutoff. Although that cutoff wouldn't apply to players called up this season. For a new callup, it comes into play in two and a half year's time.
The Super Two date changes from season to season. Is two weeks a big enough pad? Who knows. I do know that waiting another couple of weeks to be safely past the cutoff would be smart business.
(I'm not fully at ease with the latest collective bargaining agreement. It's important, though. If I got the previous graphs wrong, let me know in the comments and I'll correct.)
I got into a discussion about this with David Lesky of Pine Tar Press and Michael Engel of Kings of Kauffman last night on Twitter. They both think the cut off for Super Two is early to mid July. If that's the case, it's nuts to call up Myers within a month of the cutoff date. I've never been about gaming a player's service time, but for a small market team close to the deadline, it's about fiscal prudence. You need to save money where you can. If that means a prospect is called up a month later, so be it.
Again, this whole Super Two thing in the new CBA is very confusing.
If Myers were to be called up, the Royals would have to place him on the 40-man roster. It's currently full, so the Royals would have to designate someone for assignment to remove him from the roster.
Some interesting trivia… With Clint Robinson activated for Friday's game, the Royals have had 38 players on their major league roster this year. (Ryan Verdugo didn't make an appearance before getting farmed out.) That's astounding. The only players on the 40-man roster who haven't been in KC this year are Noel Arguelles, David Lough and Derrick Robinson.
Fortunately (or probably not) the Royals could make a move with Danny Duffy. He's on the 15 day DL, so they could slide him to the 60 day DL and remove him from the 40-man roster. But then you face a roster issue when Sal Perez is ready to be activated as he's currently on the 60 day DL. That problem is solved by sending Humberto Quintero back to Houston as his own PTBNL. Or just cutting him.
Myers has been playing center, so that solves an outfield puzzle. Sort of. Really, he projects more as a corner man. We know Alex Gordon isn't going anywhere, so that leaves Jeff Francoeur. I suppose he could slide to center – his audition is this weekend – but really… You don't move a below average right fielder to center. That's defensive malpractice. Reports are Myers is passable in center. Not a butcher, but he's not going to cover a bunch of ground. Passable. The Royals did play Melky Cabrera out there last summer. Myers can't be much worse. He can stay there for a couple of seasons until Francoeur is inevitably named player-manager for the 2014 season.
Myers looks to be ready. This season has been easy for him. Almost too easy. I'd bet the blog that the Royals are waiting to see if he hits any kind of a slump. Just to see how he will handle it. Because when he gets to the majors, it's not going to be this simple.
Yes, we look at the standings and see the Royals six or seven games out. But be realistic… This team isn't contending this year. Calling up Myers isn't going to help the Royals sneak into a pennant race. Unless he can pitch two or three times a week.
Myers needs to be up, but the Royals have the luxury of waiting. Today, there's no need to force the issue. But as long as he doesn't go in the tank, he should be up by the All-Star Break. For The Process to roll along, I think a key component is to bring the rookies up in mid season (like they did with Hosmer and Moose) let them get a feel for the league, and then turn them loose for a full season the next year. Of course, it doesn't always work. Hosmer has struggled. Moose has raked. That's baseball. But I'd sure feel better about 2013 if Myers had 250 plate appearances this summer.
Now on to Odorizzi…
He made his fifth appearance in Triple-A on Thursday, striking out 10 and walking 1 in 6.2 innings. In 27 innings for Omaha, he's struck out 27 and walked 9. A 3:1 SO:BB ratio and a 9.0 SO/9? I like.
But Odorizzi has been in Triple-A for less than a month. Yes, he pitched great for Northwest Arkansas with a 3.32 ERA and a 11.1 SO/9 and 2.4 BB/9, but he struggled in his first turn through the Texas League in 2011. In 12 starts last year, he finished with a 4.72 ERA, a 7.1 SO/9 and 2.9 BB/9. It's great that he made adjustments, and yes, he's pitching really well in the PCL, but the majors are a different animal.
The control is something to get excited about. In his start on Thursday, I saw an explosive fastball that had late movement. To me, it looked like he was locating extremely well. That will play in the bigs.
I'm excited about Odorizzi as a future Royal, but I think he needs more seasoning in Triple-A. Like Myers, lets see him struggle and make the necessary adjustments. But like Myers, we need to see him in Kansas City sometime in August so he can get a taste of the bigs.
There's also the roster crunch in play here. Who do you remove from the 40-man? Lough? Derrick Robinson? Since the Royals have used every pitcher on their 40-man not named Arguelles, I doubt they'd remove an arm. I just don't think the Royals have the roster flexibility to bring up Odorizzi. Sure they can cut The Yunigma or ship Getz to Omaha, but let's be realistic… That's not going to happen. It will probably take a trade to free up a roster spot. And that will likely happen at the end of July.
What would you do if you decide both are ready? You'd have to promote Odorizzi, right? We're desperate for starting pitching, so he'd fit the bill. I suppose it's possible he arrives in KC ahead of Myers.
Either way, I expect both to make their debuts this season. Yet I'm content to be patient. For now. But I expect some movement in about a month. Keep the revolving door of youth moving along. And maybe next year will be Our Time.

From rolling out rural broadband to keeping the biological emissions out of the Emissions Trading Scheme, this last 12 months has seen major issues and projects get under way.
"Federated Farmers is developing relationships across a diverse range of sector and interest groups, especially in sharing farmers' commitment to protecting and improving the mana and ecological health of our land and waterways, as well as our farms," Federated Farmers president Bruce Wills says.
Real action ahead on water
Following the passing of the National Policy Statement on Freshwater Management in 2011 requiring water quality and quantity be managed within limits, water has been a major issue.
"Ongoing issues remain but the focus is moving to detailed policy development and practical implementation strategies," Wills says.
Farming throughout the country would be revolutionised by guaranteed, year-round, access to water. Federated Farmers' successful lobbying of the Government resulted in $435 million of financial support for developing adequate storage and distribution systems so New Zealand's farmers are not held hostage to climate.
This will make a huge difference to New Zealand's farms, economy and environment.
There is an expectation that significant progress will be made next year on the Hawke's Bay's Ruataniwha Water Storage Project which could effectively drought-proof 20,000 ha of farmland.
Water quality is equally important. Since 2009 the Federation has been in the Land and Water Forum (LaWF), developing collaborative water quality solutions alongside iwi, recreational users and environmentalists.
"LaWF's reports provide a road map for setting limits to protect and improve the nation's waterways," Wills says.
"Every New Zealander, rural and urban, must take responsibility."
Farmers' practices needed to change, but so will urban communities, councils, businesses and individuals.
"Action needs to happen and in 2013 we will continue to communicate expectations arising from this process to our members and also help find solutions which work for them," Wills says.
The Federation does not blindly accept regulations from Government or councils, instead working with all parties to ensure the possibilities and limitations are clearly defined, ensuring reasonable and achievable outcomes for agriculture.
Where farmers' real needs and capabilities are not heeded, the Federation continues to stand up for its members.
"We decided to appeal the recent Environment Court decision on the Manawatu-Wanganui Regional Council's One Plan to the High Court," Wills says.
"The decision sets aside the decisions made by independent commissioners, after wide community consultation.
"The economic implications of the One Plan on farmers and other businesses in this area did not seem to have been taken into account. We believe this contravenes the Resource Management Act's requirement for regulation to consider not just the environmental, but also the economic, social and cultural implications."
Wills assured farmers that Federation work on this and similar regional plans throughout the country continues, but said farmers cannot ignore environmental concerns.
"Sustainable farming practices make sense, not least that they can save us unnecessary costs in the medium to long-term. Also, we must do the right thing for future generations and the Federation is increasingly supporting our members in doing this."
Broadband rolling out and emissions not
Last month the Government passed amendments to Emissions Trading Scheme legislation (ETS), which Federated Farmers campaigned long and hard on, removing a date for including agriculture's biological emissions from the scheme.
"Farmers can breathe a bit easier knowing they will not be hit by this potentially punitive tax, at least until there is viable mitigation, or other countries start including their agri-sectors in ETS type schemes," Federated Farmers vice president Dr William Rolleston says.
New Zealand farmers pay about $3000 a year on the ETS, around inputs such as fuel and energy. This figure could have been closer to $30,000.
"Our key motivation was the negative environmental impact having biological emissions in would have on climate change," Rolleston says.
"Replacing efficient food production in New Zealand with less efficient food production elsewhere doesn't make sense environmentally."
The Rural Broadband Initiative (RBI) had also made progress throughout 2012 with many rural people starting to benefit from the increased infrastructure funding of $300m, which the Federation lobbied for.
"Farmers are starting to experience the difference high speed broadband can make in farming operations and education opportunities. Politicians need to remember those five important words 'rural people are people too'," Federated Farmers chief executive Conor English says.
"Thanks to the RBI, the rural community is closing the digital divide which is critical for New Zealand's future."
Other big issues
The Federation's general policy and advocacy manager Mark Ross knows the frustrations of local government intimately - his team of policy advisers submit on more than 90 per cent of the country's annual and long-term plans.
"The Local Government Reform Bill will be huge for the Federation and for agriculture," Ross says. "Regional plans matter. They can significantly influence what a farmer is able to do as a custodian of the land and water."
Average rates rises of 7 per cent, per year, in the last decade, are also unsustainable for everyone.
The Federation backed the Government's reforms aiming to refocus councils on providing local infrastructure, public services and regulatory functions.
"We also want reform of the rating system itself, which relies heavily on land valuation, rather than ability to pay," Ross says.
Next year will see more native biodiversity and landscape protections and the Federation is working to ensure farmers' ability to farm are not restricted.
The Federation is also working with the Ministry for Primary Industry on biosecurity readiness and response procedures and to keep New Zealand's animal welfare codes ahead of global consumers' expectations.
"Many farmers don't realise that during the year we deal with between 300 and 500 issues at international, national, regional and sector level," English says.
"Other critical issues include; urban-rural relationships; energy, road and telecommunications infrastructure; water - ownership, allocation, management, quality and storage; farm succession; biosecurity; animal welfare; property rights, capital availability, and a myriad of others affecting income and expenditure. We did almost 100 submissions in 100 days - a lot of advocacy."
Sustainable leaders
New Zealand's efficient farming methods are gaining widespread approval worldwide. In its recent United Nations report, agriculture research organisation CGIAR challenged the popular concept 'buy local', telling British lamb consumers it is better for the planet to buy New Zealand, rather than British product.
Taking a 'fertiliser to fork' approach to calculate lambs' environmental impact reconfirmed that New Zealand's product, even when flown around the world, is better for the planet because of more efficient agricultural practices.
This report followed the October announcement that Hawke's Bay deer farmers Tim Aitken and Lucy Robertshawe were British chain Marks & Spencer's 2012 Farming for the Future Champion of Champions.
"This award was a huge endorsement of Tim and Lucy's farming systems and of the esteem New Zealand agriculture is held in internationally," Wills says.
New Zealand's ability to grow high-quality and sustainable protein means success for agriculture and the country going forward.
"The growing global population means demand for New Zealand's high-quality protein, whether dairy, meat or fibre, almost assures a bright future ," he says.
"Sure, we have some issues. One of the biggest is farmers having difficulties with the present high currency, which is due to the weakness of the European and US markets. But as those markets improve, we will see greater rewards.
"Every week there are more than a million more mouths needing to be fed. New Zealand has to play its part in helping to feed these people."
Agri-science's role
Science is a vital component in making sure New Zealand contributes to global food stocks in a sustainable, profitable manner. Rolleston says the agricultural sector has to ensure there is plenty of investment in science.
One of the upcoming projects Rolleston sees as important is a Government plan to commit $60m to fund between four and eight National Science Challenges during the next four years.
Federated Farmers has taken part in setting these challenges and Rolleston hopes farmers will contribute their ideas, before December 10, on the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment's website. "Agriculture must be included in the programme of science challenges, as they are likely to inform the Government's strategic policy on science funding," he says.
"If we do not have representation, agricultural sector research, from wool production to environmental mitigation improvements, could miss out on funding."
The bright future
Overall, Wills says the next year and beyond is an exciting time for New Zealand's agriculture sector. He believes it is important to focus on the good stories.
"Sure we have some issues and challenges facing us but this Government is very supportive of what we are doing for the economy and we are working to build non-partisan relationships with all the major political parties.
"For many years Australia was called 'the Lucky Country', but, long-term, the luck is on our side," Wills says.
"About 72 per cent of the Australian economy is based on finite resources. Seventy per cent of our economy is based on renewable resources - farming, fishing and forestry - which, to my mind, gives Kiwis the upper hand."

L.L.Bean | 100 Years and Counting
Explore the L.L.Bean story in our interactive timeline below. Scroll left to right to learn more about each decade, or up and down to jump to the next one.
An outdoorsman first and a businessman second, L.L. Bean designed the Maine Hunting Shoe® simply because he wanted a better boot. Before he knew it, L.L. had a thriving mail-order operation catering to those who shared his love of nature.
Not content to merely sell a few pairs of boots from his shop to local farmers and woodsmen, L.L. dreamed bigger.
As competitors went belly-up during the depression, L.L.Bean continued to grow. Middle-class families who could afford vacations took to the wilderness, and L.L.Bean supplied the gear for their adventures.
World War II brought America together and L.L.Bean to Washington, as the company started outfitting servicemen with boots and outerwear. Back in Maine, L.L. continued to build a blossoming business that was steadily winning America over.
As orders continued to pour into the L.L.Bean offices and new products were regularly being introduced, the catalog grew both in size and circulation.
Enter Leon Gorman — L.L.'s grandson — a naturally savvy marketer who revamped the catalog and modernized the entire operation, while staying true to the principles on which the company was founded. By 1967, sales had doubled.
As the '60s came to a close, a new breed of outdoor enthusiasts emerged — the backpackers. These young explorers looked to nature for peace and tranquility, and to L.L.Bean for clothing and gear.
L.L.Bean's focus had always been on practical apparel, but demand was shifting to casualwear. Rather than choosing between the two, L.L.Bean embraced both, honoring tradition while acknowledging the future.
The emergence of online shopping made venturing into the digital age a snap for a company that just decades earlier pioneered 24-hour retailing and the convenience of ordering products from home.
With a flourishing business both online and off, L.L. might have been dazzled by the size and complexity of modern retail — but pleased to find his hard-won personal standards still guiding the company.

Thanks so much for this… I'm about to bind a circular table topper, and found this looking for hints.
YorkshireKarenMay 25, 2011 at 2:22 pm
Thank you SO much for your "how to" series; it's 10 years since I've quilted, and had completely forgotten the basics. Your series has brought the memories flooding back, and inspired me to get quilting again…starting with two unfinished ones that have been crying out to be finished all these years!
Celi [diario de crecer]September 16, 2011 at 5:16 am
I love it!!
CourtneyDecember 27, 2011 at 7:32 pm
I just finished my very first quilt (and very first sewing project) with the help of this tutorial series! It was awesome & I appreciate you posting all of these tutorials so much. I posted a picture of my quilt on my blog if you'd like to see. 🙂 Thanks again!
artistryinfauxFebruary 7, 2012 at 7:47 am
WOW I have searched for some tutorials on binding. This is absolutely the best one I have seen. Very nicely done and great pictures, easy to understand and follow.
I have been gathering tutorials to share and hope that you won't mind.
I have just begun quilting and will use this one because I love the rounded corners. Reminds me of the ones my grandmother use to make.

I just finished my first quilt last night using this series. My quilt turned out nicely, and I learned a ton just by physically doing the work. Thanks for this tutorial – I imagine it was a ton of work. It definitely helped motivate me and I'm looking forward to applying this new knowledge to my next quilt in a month or two.
amy smartJanuary 30, 2014 at 10:27 am
Awesome! I'm so glad it was helpful. The first quilt is always the trickiest because everything is new. It's like driving – the more you do, the more it feels like second nature and gets really fun. Good job!

[…] I generally do not pre-wash my fabric I like the sizing that is in the store-bought fabric because I feel like it makes it easier to accurately rotary cut. If you stick to high-quality 100% cotton quilting fabrics that come from the independent shops or the higher-end selection at JoAnn, Hancock, etc. you should not have a problem with colors bleeding, etc. If the fabric is older or lower-quality I would suggest prewashing before you start cutting. There is more information about washing finished quilts here. […]

JACSON — Mississippi's ornate state Capitol was closed Monday for Confederate Memorial Day.
Except for security, a few dedicated staffers and your humble scribe, the Capitol was empty. All that will change Tuesday when House and Senate negotiators trying to reach a compromise on how much — if any — to increase the state's cigarette tax will meet.
On Confederate Memorial Day, on the eve of the cigarette tax negotiations, there is talk of compromise.
A little recap might be in order. Mississippi's current cigarette tax is 18 cents per-pack, which is third lowest in the nation at more than $1 below the national average and 46 cents per-pack below the average of the contiguous states.
The House negotiators are proposing a 75-cent-per-pack tax while the Senate negotiators are offering a 64-cent-per-pack tax.
While it has been like pulling teeth, do not be surprised if there is a compromise — finally — on Tuesday. Smart money is at 68 cents per pack.
The fight over increasing the cigarette tax has been ongoing for about four years. This is the closest the House Democratic leadership has come to achieving its goal of increasing the tax.
In the past, It has be blocked by Republican Gov. Haley Barbour and his Republican Senate allies . But Barbour has indicated he will sign a tax increase this year as long as it is based on a conservative estimate of the amount of money the tax will generate.
So on the day set aside to honor those lost in the Civil War, there is talk of compromise on the most divisive issue of recent legislative sessions.

Bret Mills was named employee of the month for Emery County. He is a quiet, mild mannered, trustworthy and knowledgeable employee whose biggest fault is not talking about his accomplishments. He began working for Emery County in 1986. He has never turned down a challenge and could be known as the MacGyver of electronics in Emery County. His face is behind the screen of every television in the county for without his dedication to keeping the transmitters running on Horn Mountain through rain, shine and snowstorms there would be no public TV. When the televisions were switched from analog to digital he went into the homes of many elderly residents to help them with the switch. During the Crandall Canyon disaster he had the sheriff's office connected to phone and internet services right on site. He saw the future of communications and recommended forming the Eastern Utah Television and Technology Association which has resulted in millions of dollars in grant money for upgrades. He maintains the computer system, telephone and communication for dispatch and the vehicles for the sheriff's office. This system has been ahead of the state's system for many years. He volunteers as a member of search and rescue and was the founding member of the Ham radio users Sinbad Desert Amateur Radio Club.
The club has grown each year and offers training on how to become a radio operator along with campouts and parties throughout the year. His favorite mode of transportation is a snow cat and he loves high places. The Emery County Commission met in their March meeting. Steven Barton the county treasurer told the commission he will soon submit a list of properties for the May tax sale. To get to the point where a property is listed for the May tax sale, the taxpayer must be in default for five years of back taxes. The property owner is sent a quarterly notice with the balance due. In January they were sent a final reminder. Barton said, "We try to be tax payer friendly. There are 15 properties to go on the list. They have the option until March 15 to request a deferral. Right now we are working with the Green River KOA property. They are making an effort to pay and will be paid in full by Nov. 30 of this year."
The commission voted to enter into a tax sale deferral agreement with the property owner.
The commission discussed the settlement agreement between the bankruptcy trustee regarding the CW Mining Company Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition. The county will do a judgment levy to recoup their losses. They will wait for a final order out of the bankruptcy court.
The county will draft a letter of support for the Green River energy zone. Commissioner Nelson said the letter basically states we will support energy development in Emery County. Duchesne and Uintah counties ran almost the exact same wording in a bill a couple of years ago.
Parts of the current bill didn't meet Emery County's master plan. The county's number one concern was the forest and the watershed. Public lands director Ray Petersen sat down and went over Emery County's position and the language went into the bill also verbatim. Commissioner Nelson felt the bill wouldn't be much of a change, just supporting energy development. The mineral lease monies run a lot of programs in the county.
Commissioner Jeff Horrocks wondered if the bill affects grazing or recreational opportunities in any way. Commissioner Nelson said no it won't affect grazing and will protect Emery County's interests. Michael McCandless, Emery County Economic Development Director, said the bill guides the state office of public lands on issues like sage grouse and other public land issues. Commissioner Horrocks said let it be a matter of public record that Emery County will support the bill for the Green River energy zone.
The commission approved the EEO reporting and affirmative action plan for Emery County prepared by Mary Huntington, personnel director. This plan shows the county is in compliance and doesn't discriminate against any employee and also the report can be used for any grants the county may apply for as proof of compliance.
The commission set a public hearing for April 9 for a conditional use permit for the refinery in Green River. McCandless said the permitting for this project is probably at the halfway point.
The commission appointed Liz Nielson to the Emery County Housing Authority board and Jonathan Hunt to the Emery County Travel Bureau.
Commissioner Ethan Migliori reported he attended the museum meeting and they will put the sign back up at the Castle Dale City building advertising the pioneer museum which is upstairs at that building. The Bailey pot or basket will be brought to the Museum of the San Rafael for display during this the 20th year anniversary of the museum. There will be several special activities this year to mark the 20th anniversary. At the COG meeting of county mayors they discussed the need for a uniform animal control ordinance for the county and the cities.
The fair committee is moving along with the fair and there will be a carnival this year. An ocean exhibit with Stingrays will also be in the park. Commissioner Migliori attended the travel bureau meeting and there are concerns about the ATV trails around Millsite. Instead of having several smaller trails they are working with the BLM and state parks to have one or two major trails.
Commissioner Nelson said he met with the library board and the libraries are very modern and up-to-date on the services they offer county residents. There are plans to improve the library parking around Cleveland library. The legislature approved $1.6 million for clean-up on Huntington Creek, but that amount was then chopped in half and $800,000 is being earmarked for the debris basins on the creek. The Emery Water Conservancy district has been cleaning up the log jam by XTO Energy at the mouth of the canyon. Commissioner Nelson encouraged everyone to use the Aquatics Center for exercise. He expressed his concern that rural Utah representation is shrinking at the legislature. He reminded everyone that Lt. Gov. Greg Bell will speak at the Emery County Business Chamber awards banquet. He is inviting Lt. Gov. Bell to come early that day so he can give him a tour of the Swell.
Commissioner Migliori said Forbidden Fruit and Darcey Powell received a small business recognition at the state legislature. Castle Dale wants to put up more lighting around the fair park.
Commissioner Horrocks said work is continuing on bringing the Emery County housing units up to standard. He said there have been rumors concerning the forest service not doing enough to combat the Seeley fire. Commissioner Horrocks said they did all they could but they didn't have all they needed because resources were stretched thin due to all the fires ongoing at that time. A helicopter dropped ground crews into the area, but the fire got away because of the abundance of winds and fuel for the fire. The forest service will be attending meetings around the county to educate people on fire.
Commissioner Nelson pointed out the prescribed burn at Joe's Valley is just one of those preventative measures to reduce fuels. All of the areas within the Seeley fire area that had burned before or had a prescribed burn survived the fire in better shape than untreated areas.
Commissioner Horrocks reported on water saying the county is at 80 percent of average.
In the local building authority meeting, Commissioner Horrocks reported the project for showers and restrooms at the airport is moving forward and the fuel tank moving project also. The contract with Johansen and Tuttle Engineering has been approved on these projects. The new weed and mosquito project is also moving forward. A metal building will be purchased and the preparation work and parking lot will be included with this project which is projected to cost $980,000. The price for the metal building is $68,320.
Commissioner Horrocks said since the county has invested in improvements at the Huntington Airport many more pilots are using the airport to stay and play and fuel up. The back-country flyers will be back again in September for a fly-in and activity weekend at the airport.

I wonder how long the fight will go before being interrupted. I can't think of much else that needs to be resolved in this tournament that won't happen once all the shit starts. I'm thinking the fight will go roughly predictable like.
1. Sting and Rogue outclassing FT only to cop a supercombo move right in the face, last page will be Sting and Rogue shrugging off the attack and counter attacking (Mavis has a test of restraint by not jumping in)
2. Sting and Rogue still outdoing and beating FT into the ground while mono-logging about the past, flashback commences.
3. Sting and Rogue finish backflashing, keep beating ft but marveling that they won't give up.
4. FT refuse to give up and start to slowly fight on par with Sabretooth until they unleash their own Dragon powerups,
5. Before ST are defeated or the time runs out the real shit starts to happen

Chapter 1 Summary
Colin and Mary are a couple traveling in Venice, and their days have an almost ritualistic similarity. In the mornings, they busy themselves with sightseeing and tourist attractions. This is followed by a late-afternoon nap (which only once included sex) after which they leisurely bathe and dress themselves. They then spend an hour on the veranda relaxing, taking in the sights and sounds of the neighborhood, and often smoking a joint together. In the evenings, they explore the city in search of new, often out-of-the-way restaurants. Their command of the city's geography is limited and they are further hampered by the inadequacies of the maps they bought. It is quite common for them to get lost in their travels, not taking in dinner until 9:00 or later. As their stay goes on, the two become more and more dependent upon the maid's service, and their initial tidiness soon gives way to the slovenliness of people who know that someone else is picking up after them.
On this particular day, the couple finds themselves in the midst of a cool silence—some earlier disagreement has left them not speaking to each other. Colin rises from his afternoon repose and showers first, hearing a man across the way in his own shower singing opera with great abandon. When Mary eventually arises, trying to shake off busy dreams in which she is constantly beleaguered by her children, she keeps her distance and offers only chilly responses to Colin. This evening, Colin smokes his marijuana alone on the veranda and notices a mildly comical situation play out in which an elderly man attempts to get a good picture of his wife without the interference of a table of diners nearby. Once the man has removed the diners from view, he finds his wife has wandered away from her pose and angrily attempts to reposition her. While this scene plays out, Mary refuses the pot, and stays inside doing yoga to keep her distance. When she finally arrives on the porch, Colin recounts the story of the photograph in an exaggerated way in a purposeful attempt to draw her out. She does not initially respond, but soon the couple is holding hands again. They apologize to each other and head indoors for some familiar, but not exceedingly passionate, lovemaking. When they have re-dressed, they find themselves well behind their usual schedule. Despite this, they head out into the evening resolved to maintain their daily routine.
Chapter 2 Summary
The early part of their journey proves unsuccessful for expected reasons. Colin and Mary forget to bring their maps with them, and quickly find themselves lost. The relative lack of signage and the sameness of the streets only furthers their confusion. Colin seems more perturbed than the unflappable Mary, who stops at a department store window. On display is a bed scene with an incredibly ornate upholstered headboard, which includes a built-in radio, telephone and refrigerator. At another building, Mary is taken with posters of feminist propaganda, and she stops to see if her Italian is good enough to read them. While she is particularly fond of a flyer calling for the castration of rapists, Colin grows impatient knowing that their chances of finding a restaurant still open are dwindling.
After venturing a little further, they find locations vaguely familiar from previous wanderings, but are no closer to finding a restaurant. Colin is slightly optimistic that they might be able to find a hot dog stand they had found in the area during a previous excursion, but still cannot get his bearings. With limited street lighting, the city has grown very dark. Suddenly, a man steps out of the shadow and asks who they are and where they are going. Initially, Colin and Mary are reluctant to offer any information about themselves, but the man insists he knows of an establishment that is still open, and warns them that even the hot dog stand has closed for the night. He grabs each of them by an arm and begins to guide them, despite their protests and attempts to disengage. He apologizes, introduces himself as Robert, and takes them on a fifteen-minute walk (passing some previously visited landmarks) to a small basement bar. Along the way, they pass Robert's home, but he explains that his wife is resting so he cannot invite them in.
Upon arriving at the bar, Robert speaks to one of the workers, who sends over wine and breadsticks. Colin and Mary note that the bar only has men in it. Given their limited food intake and the steady flow of wine, Colin and Mary gradually reveal information about themselves. Colin and Mary are unmarried, and Mary has two children from a prior relationship. Wanting to know more about this new acquaintance, Mary asks Robert how he met his wife. Before beginning the story, he explains that it requires considerable back story involving his whole family: his mother, his father, and his four older sisters.
Chapter 3 Summary
As Robert begins to speak of his childhood, he portrays his father as a stern and terrifying man. Everyone in Robert's house fears his father and strictly obeys the rules he sets. As the only boy, Robert becomes his father's favorite, but this is not without its consequences. When his two oldest sisters, the teenaged Eva and Maria, ask for privileges like wearing make-up and stockings, Robert was often asked to mediate by his father. Out of fear of his father, the ten-year-old Robert said no to all of these requests, and his father jovially insisted that it was Robert's decision, not his own.
One day, when Robert's parents are out, Eva and Maria try on their mother's clothing, makeup and perfume and parade around the house as if they were grown-ups. When the time arrives for their parents return, they return all of the clothes, wash themselves thoroughly, and open the window in their parents' bedroom to clear the smell of perfume. At dinner that night, his father asks him what they did all afternoon, and Robert responds honestly because he thinks his father already knows. That night, his father calls Robert into his office (a room usually off limits) and has him watch as he beats the two sisters with the belt. From then on, Robert's sisters hate him and soon enact their revenge. They trick Robert into eating sweets and chocolates, feed him castor oil, and lock him in their father's office. While he is trapped in there, he vomits and soils himself. The sisters unlock the room shortly before their father returns, and act as if nothing has happened. When their father sees the mess and realizes Robert has eaten chocolate (something he forbids), his disappointment is overwhelming. Robert never eats chocolate again, and still holds a grudge against his sisters.
Despite his punishments for ruining the office, Robert's mother still dotes on him. Whenever his father is away, Robert sleeps in her bed. One day, another family visits and his sisters attempt to embarrass Robert by telling the kids that he still sleeps with his mother. One of the daughters, Caroline, is sympathetic and does not make fun of Robert. Eight years later, Robert and Caroline get married. After Robert finishes his story, he bids Colin and Mary goodnight. The two then stumble out of the bar, now quite inebriated, and wander off into the night.
Chapter 4 Summary
Colin and Mary are too drunk and disoriented to make their way home, and instead sleep in a doorway for a few scant hours. In the morning, Colin has considerable difficulty in rousing Mary to suggest that they make their way back to their hotel. Although they are still hopelessly lost, Walter knows that if they can get back to the center of the city, they can find their way to the hotel, which is close by. He guides the half-conscious Mary through the streets to the local hospital. Just as they arrive, a waterbus headed for the center of town departs. While they wait, Colin suggests they check the hospital to see if it might have a cafeteria or kiosk that sells something to drink. Mary, nearly delirious from her lack of rest, food and water, has difficulty staying awake. Fortunately, another water bus soon arrives and takes them back to the center of the city. Once there, the dozy, parched Mary insists that they find some water. An outdoor restaurant nearby is packed, and Colin hovers over the table of an elderly couple until they leave. Once they finally get a table, Colin and Mary are virtually ignored by the wait staff.
A baby plays at a nearby table and catches Mary's eye. She is fascinated and wonders what her own children are up to at this moment. She feels guilty about leaving them home with their father, and considers returning home early, even though they have ten days left in their vacation. Finally, after much hand signaling, Colin gets a waiter to come to their table. When he asks for water for himself and Mary, the waiter gruffly exits. Worried that the waiter may never come back, Mary suggests they leave, go back to their hotel, and order room service.
As they prepare to leave, they see Robert across the way and try to sit back down to avoid being seen by him. Unfortunately, they catch his eye and he comes over to see them. When they relay their difficulties in getting a glass of water, Robert is horrified and feels responsible for their hangovers and lousy night's sleep in a doorway. He insists on taking them back to his house to rest, insisting it will be more comfortable than a hotel. Colin initially refuses, but the still-exhausted Mary follows Robert. Colin does too, and Robert takes them back to his home via a taxi.
Chapter 5 Summary
Hours later, Mary and Colin wake up in an unfamiliar bedroom. They are each sleeping in their own bed, completely naked. Mary, who wakes first, admires the sleeping Colin's physical beauty; she then gets up and begins doing yoga. Colin soon stirs and quickly becomes concerned about the whereabouts of their clothes. When Mary tells him to look for a robe and go find out where their clothes are, he comes back from the adjoining bathroom in a frilly women's robe. He refuses to leave the room dressed this way, so he gives the robe to Mary and makes her go look.
Once out of the room, Mary gets a good look at her surroundings. She is several stories up in a building that seems to have been subdivided into apartments or...

Chapter 6 Summary
Colin excuses himself to dress and Caroline quizzes Mary about her work. Mary has recently worked for a women's theatre collective before creative differences and other difficulties caused the group to split. Caroline seems baffled by the possibility of an all-female theatre and believes their plays must have somehow focused on men, even if they were offstage. As they converse, Caroline again mentions Colin's attractiveness and tells Mary that Robert owns the bar he took them to the night before. Just then, Robert arrives home and Caroline struggles to rise up from the chair and greet him. Colin returns, nattily dressed, and thanks Robert for his hospitality.
Colin's return allows Mary to slink off to her room and...

Chapter 7 Summary
After their dinner with Robert and Caroline, Mary and Colin return to the hotel and scarcely leave it for the next three days. They find themselves in the throes of a newfound passion. They spend much of the days and evenings making love, and they take most of their meals in their room. They both feel like they have rediscovered the feeling of the first love of a new relationship. When they aren't in bed, they spend hours talking to each other about their families, their dreams, and their fears. They also philosophize about the greater questions of life and death, as well as politics and social issues. They frequently shower together, and constantly whisper and giggle to each other. During their lovemaking, they are often given...

Chapter 8 Summary
The next day, Mary and Colin decide to go to the beach. It is an intensely hot day, and the beach is extremely crowded. As Colin and Mary make their way along the sand, they realize the impossibility of finding the perfect spot. They want to be away from the crowds without infringing on the privacy of others who want the same thing. They eventually settle into an area nearby a group of young people playing beach volleyball and flirting with each other. They cover each other in sunscreen, and Mary heads out into the ocean for a swim. Colin, enjoying the time alone, soon drifts off to sleep.
When he wakes a half an hour later, he searches the ocean for Mary. He finally sees what he thinks is her, far out on the horizon....

Chapter 9 Summary
Colin and Mary are greeted warmly at the stairs by Robert and Caroline. Robert insists that he has to take care of some business at the bar and takes Colin with him. He leaves Mary to talk with Caroline without asking either of them if they agree to this arrangement. Along the way, Robert holds Colin's hand. Although this is customary for men in this country, Colin feels that Robert is deliberately trying to keep a hold on him. Along the way, Robert seems to go out of his way to speak to everyone he knows. Colin does not understand the language, but repeatedly hears his name mentioned. They arrive at the bar, which again only has male customers, and Colin waits at the table while Robert and his new manager sign some papers. The...

Chapter 10 Summary
Mary is incredibly weak and disoriented when Caroline brings her out into the gallery; she can barely speak. Caroline deposits her in a chair and explains that she put something "special" in her tea. Colin tries to understand Mary's whisperings but can only make out the word "Go." Colin is alarmed by Mary's condition and asks Caroline to call the hospital. Caroline informs them that she and Robert are about to go away and the telephone lines have been shut off. Colin asks Robert to go to the hospital to get an ambulance, but Robert refuses. Instead, Robert and Caroline back Colin up against the wall opposite Mary's chair. When Colin tries to escape, he knocks Caroline down. Robert slams Colin against the wall as...

Women Mathematicians and NMAH CollectionsSister Helen Sullivan: A College Teacher and More
|Sister Helen Sullivan, August 1981. Gift of Helen Sullivan (AHB2012q05998)
Sister M. Helen Sullivan (1907-1998) represents the large number of American women with PhD's in mathematics whose names and accomplishments are not well known within much of the mathematics community. Sullivan, like many other mathematicians, was a college teacher whose only mathematical research publication was her dissertation but who wrote about, among other subjects, the teaching of mathematics. She interacted with her own students as well as other students and mathematicians through her involvement in Kappa Mu Epsilon, a mathematical honor society, and on committees and panels of professional organizations that related to teaching.
Sullivan also represents the group of Catholic nuns who earned PhD's in mathematics from Catholic University. During the 1930s, Catholic awarded more PhD's in mathematics to American women, twelve (eleven of them nuns), than any other school except the University of Chicago, which awarded twenty-four. Catholic nuns were well represented at the August 1981 honoring women who received PhD's in mathematics before World War II. Of the fifteen women who attended three were women religious and all had received PhD's from Catholic: Sister Leonarda Burke in 1931, Sullivan in 1934, and Sister Elizabeth Frisch in 1940. All three shared the same dissertation advisor, Aubrey E. Landry. Landry advised twenty-eight doctoral students, eighteen of whom were women. Landry's only woman student who was not a nun was Euphemia Lofton Haynes who, in 1943, became the first African-American woman to receive a PhD in mathematics.

Sullivan donated her publications and items related to Kappa Mu Epsilon to the museum. Most of her publications concern undergraduate research, teaching, and philosophy.

Kappa Mu Epsilon Certificate of Recognition
- Description
- In April 1981 in Springfield, Missouri, Kappa Mu Epsilon celebrated its fiftieth anniversary. At this celebration KME, a mathematics honor society with chapters at institutions that emphasize undergraduate mathematics programs, named fifty members as Distinguished Members. Sister Helen Sullivan was one of those so honored.
- In about 1936 Sister Helen Sullivan organized Euclid's Circle, a mathematics club at Mount St. Scholastica College. In 1940 she founded the Kansas Gamma Chapter of Kappa Mu Epsilon there. Sullivan often served as the faculty sponsor of her local chapter of KME, and in 1967 the alumnae of that chapter established the Sister Helen Sullivan scholarship in her honor. On the national level Sullivan served as KME's historian in the years 1943–47, and as an assistant editor of its journal, The Pentagon, during those years and again from 1961–70.

Traditional and unconventional at the same time
Currywurst (curried sausage) is as much a part of Berlin as Brandenburg Tor. Traditional and unconventional at the same time, it is the culinary emblem of Germany's capital city.
No German national dish inspires as many stories, preferences and celebrity connoisseurs as this one does. Deutsches Currywurst Museum in Berlin is dedicated to the curried sausage, its friends and fans, the legends and stories coming along with it: in a unique exhibition designed as a special event in itself.
Open daily 10am till 8pm.

VELOCITY VICTORY! VIRGIN BLUEâS VELOCITY PROGRAM TAKES OUT 6 âFREDDIESâ27/04/2009
Monday 27 April 2009: Velocity, the loyalty program of the Virgin Blue Group of Airlines, has taken out the Program of The Year award at the annual Freddie Awards in Florida. The program also took out five of the other eight awards up for grabs.
The four year old Velocity program took out a swag of categories for all airlines operating in the Japan, Pacific, Asia and Australia regions at the 21st Freddie's including:
Program Of The Year
Best Award Redemption
Best Award
Best Web Site
Best Member Communications
Best Affinity Credit card
The Freddie's are heralded as the Oscars of the Frequent Flyer Program industry and are considered the most prestigious global awards for the loyalty program industry.
Velocity is the loyalty program of all the airlines under the Virgin Blue banner, including Virgin Blue, Pacific Blue, Polynesian Blue and the new trans-Pacific three class airline, V Australia.
Virgin Blue is especially elated at Velocity being named "Program Of The Year" after it was a team pledge to aim for the accolade. Velocity earned first place ahead of the loyalty programs of highly regarded carriers operating in the region including Emirates, Singapore Airlines and Qantas.
Of the nine Freddie awards up for grabs, Velocity took out six and came in second for the other three.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, said, "This is an absolutely fantastic result for the Velocity team and more importantly for our 1.7-million Velocity members who reap the benefits of the Velocity program every day."
"We are very honoured that Velocity has been recognised for its commitment to excellence across such a broad range of its offerings from the any seat redemption policy we pioneered in the domestic Australian market to having the most user friendly website."
The Freddie awards are judged by the people best positioned to offer opinions and feedback on airline programs, the actual frequent flyers themselves. Those who experience the offerings and benefits of the programs of airlines all over the world are the ones who nominate and vote for their favourite airline program in a range of specific categories.
Virgin Blue was the only Australian based airline to have its loyalty program recognised.
Brett Godfrey continued, "When we launched Velocity, our intention was to introduce a program that provided tangible benefits for our frequent flyers at any time they wanted it. Other programs followed our lead and introduced the any seat redemption policy so we are very proud to have revolutionised the programs of other airlines and intend Velocity to continue to innovate and provide the best value of any program in this Australian region."
Velocity is continuing to grow its expanding range of member benefits and now has nine airline partners offering a global network of earning and redemption opportunities. Velocity is also evolving its non-airline redemption offering earn opportunities via 150 partners and a wide range of redemption offerings from a gourmet toaster to a Virgin Galactic flight into outer space.
He added, "As an airline group and an airline program, we have a strong focus on innovation, value for money and real rewards for loyal Guests. To be on the receiving end of our record number of Freddie Awards vindicates our strategy and shows our members believe we are on the right flight path."
Phil Gunter, General Manager, Velocity, said, "This is Velocity's "Slum Dog Millionaire moment", we are overwhelmed with the result. Globally, Velocity is still a relative small program and we don't have the big budgets or big teams that other airlines do, so to walk away with so many Freddie's is both humbling and exciting and only inspires us to find ways and means to do even better for our members next year."
Virgin Blue's partner airline Virgin Atlantic also took out Program of The Year in the category for European Airlines.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Highly recommended. Fits 6'8" Denali perfectly. Anything longer I'd go with the XL.
From: Justin: Noblesville, IN 8/10/15
Comments: As someone who doesn't have a boat but fishes as a co-angler in tournaments, this product is a life saver! No more tangles, no more frustration of transporting rods from one boat to the next. This product is very efficient and I am a happy customer!
From: Jeremy: Wixom, MI 3/5/15
Comments: Awesome product! No more tangled rods a half n' hour before sunrise when the fish are Busting!Will have one on my Rods from now on! For 6'6" rods need to order the standard size( up to 7.5').
From: Ricky: Spencer, VA
Comments: just got my 10 blue spider in, amazing! So much better then the original stick jackets. Heavier and thicker material plus the hard wrapped tip. And not nearly as expensive. Will always have one on my rods, when traveling and stored in the rod locker.
From: Jonathon, TN
Comments: after purchasing my first one to try, I realized what an awesome product it was and how much it really does protect your rods. Since then I have put one on ever rod I own. I have not had 1 busted eyelet or any rod issues and my rod gloves saved me more times then I want to admit. Well worth it to protect my expensive rods.
From: Nicholas: WI
Comments: This is a good product but you should be aware the overall length is 64" & the usable length is only 61". The picture shows it extending almost to the reel, but on a 7' rod is will be 9" short of the reel. TW or the manufacturer should print the length so you can decide which one to order.
From: Don: TX
Comments: Awesome product. Highly recommended. not bulky at all, just enough to add a little extra protection to the vulnerable portion of a rod. Eliminates tangle in an open style rod locker like mine. I went from being able to store 6 rods with major headache to storing ten rods with less headache. Trebles will cause you problems at times but you have to pick your battles when it comes to storing lots of rods.
From: Nate: Pasco, WA
Comments: These and all of The Rode Glove products are exactly what I am looking for when it comes to not only protection. but organization as well. Since getting my first one, I have not had one rod issue. I am tough of rods through contstant use and transport. These are the best that you can get!!
From: Nicholas: WI
Comments: Just bought a new tracker boat, and as much as i love it, the rod locker is nearly useless. I cracked the blank on a 6'6" rod trying to get it into one of the bottom "slots." these covers are golden to me now. I can still place all my rods in the large open space in the bottom of the locker and get them out with relative ease. They also come in handy when traveling or fishing in someone else's boat. I don't like paying $6 for each one, but i'll take that over the frustration of tangled rods or a broken one.
From: Dan: WV
Comments: The Rod Glove is by far the best rod protection you can buy hands down, I have looked and even tried some of the others, dont waste your time or money, Rod Glove is the way to go!
From: James: Madison, FL
Comments: awesome, awesome, awesome
From: Matt: TN
Comments: great product when your traveling w/ rods. I fish w/ my dad and have to travel to and from w/ rods and was tired of having tangled eyes and lines. bought 1 for each rod and am very happy with the results. bought several colors too so i know what rod is in each. jig, worm, crank and finesse.
From: Jeff: NJ
Comments: I ordered a couple of the Rod Gloves to attempt to resolve a tight locker situation in my new Bass Tracker boat. The angle I have to put my rods in is so extreme I honestly didn't think custom rod lockers or any sleeve for my rods would so anything. well after a quick call to their customer service department I felt at ease and ordered 10 through TW. It was one of the best investments I've made for my boat to date. It not only looks cool, but now my rods slide in and out with ease and are protected as well. Thanks for making an exceptional product!
From: Brent: San Diego, CA
Comments: i have one of these and it has saved my guides countless times
From: Brayden: IN
Comments: These are hands down the best rod covers you can get. The tapered ends work great and no more tangled up rods in the box.
From: Lance: Livingston, TX
Comments: I wish I bought these first. I bought the other ones with grommets on the end and my tips would pass through the end, defeating the purpose of having covers. I bought covers because I transport my rods in the bed of my truck all weekend and I have a short bed so I have to put them diagonally and they just fit. Once my tip got stuck under my bed covers frame and I knew I got lucky when it didnÕt get ruined. These are hands down better than the other brands. I have put pressure on them and the tips still donÕt push through. They are also lighter at the tip than the other covers. No more tangled lines or rods and it makes taking them in and out of my truck and boat a snap. I wish I had bought these years ago. They are well worth the investment to protect your rods.
From: Adam: NY
Comments: These are the best rod protectors out there! They go easily in and easily out of rod lockers!
From: Trent: Alabama
Comments: These are great! While I've never had any problems with the metal grommets on other brands, the tapered tips make these easier to get in and out of rod lockers. Besides that, they keep my rods looking great without scuffs and scratches. Easy hook removal too!
From: Anthony: Toledo, OH
Comments: This is what I've needed for so long. I took all the rod tubes out of my boat when I got it so I could fit more rods in the rod locker. What a mess that was...I got a hold of these and there's been no looking back. I can stuff so many rods in my rod locker without tangles or having to wrap the line around the rods. It has definitely made me more efficient. The tapered tips are a big advantage because they wont let a rod tip poke out the end. All my co anglers have them to and love them!
From: Jeff: Michigan, USA

cuz it was said that it was a unique ability that only he had, and that it was a gift from his mother.
there has been past nin that were host to shukaku and apparently none of them had that sand protection thing. because they got rid of them when they became too troublesome. Yet they are dumbfounded in Gaara's case because he's always protected by that sand barrier.
So if shukaku never gave that sort of power to any of his previous hosts it just seems to me that its more likely that the sand protection is gaara's own unique skill. Just like his control of Sand. Speaking of which it's possible that Gaara's mother was a descendant of the 3rd Kazekage. Since he had the "Iron Sand" so it could possibly explain why Gaara has an innate skill to control sand.
yeah i forgot about that you might be right. but back to gaara 19 in ninjutsu i looked on wikipedia and gaara definitly has a long list of offensive and defensive techniques . the 19 is well earned
Last edited by gdupninja; 08-11-2007 at 07:41 PM.
k-oz there is a whole in your theory about the sand controle being his because the 3rd baseed his irn sand on the shukakus host so all the hosts must get that ability but i think gaaras sand might protect him because its got his mums blood mixed in with it and it mite be some sort of maternal protection thingy because like what akatsuki say gaara and naruto are the only jinchuriki who anyone ever cared about so i doubt the previouse hosts parents loved them enoughth to want them protected.
hmm i wonder what obitos doing right now.... decomposing and smelling up the joint i gess coz hes dead!!
Are you positive? cuz then i'll have to go look back into all this cuz its been buggin me for a while and i cant exactly remember wut was said about gaara's sand protection but from what i do know, it would make sense to my theory for it to be gaara's unique skill.
His primary defense is his Shield of Sand (砂の盾, Suna no Tate?), an automatic sand shield that surrounds and protects him from damage whether he wants it to or not.
it doesnt say wheter its from shukaku or not
lmao brothel no gaara :] and all we know about the shield is that it doesnt use gaaras chakra.
hmm i wonder what obitos doing right now.... decomposing and smelling up the joint i gess coz hes dead!!

"Well this is sure an easy way to make fried rice. I could eat it even without other Chinese dishes. I'm starting to see that I can make all my favorite Chinese meals at home in my slow cooker. Who knew? I thought you had to have a wok, and I got rid of mine years ago."
"Beef and broccoli is my favorite Chinese dish. My mom and I would go out for lunch, and we would both order it. I used to make it in a wok, but haven't in many years. I'll definitely make it in my slow cooker. It looks delicious!"
"We always order General Tso's Chicken when we get Chinese takeout, so I will definitely make this. My slow cooker can brown meat before switching over to slow cook, so this will really be easy. I'll still order won ton soup, though."
"This recipe is just perfect as it is. Poaching the boneless chicken breasts in the sauce liquid should result in juicy, tender meat. If you need this meal a little quicker, consider using chicken tenders instead of the whole breast. You would get the same result, but the smaller pieces would cook quicker. When making the sauce, use the water to deglaze the slow cooker so you dont waste any of that tasty goodness."
"This would actually be a great recipe for a rotisserie chicken or using up leftover chicken breasts. Mix everything else as described and add the chunks of chicken. You would need to shorten the cooking time by about half since you dont have to cook the chicken. You could still serve it as once, but I think it would be even better the next day so the spices would have time to blend together."
