Family: Crocodylidae, Crocodiles view all from this family
Description Long & slender snout. Grayish-olive green. Crossbands on back and tail. When mouth is closed,4th tooth visible.
Dimensions 2.1-4.6m. (7-15')
Endangered Status The American Crocodile is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered throughout its range in southern Florida. Most of the worlds crocodilians -- 17 species out of a total of 22 -- are in danger of becoming extinct. All have suffered from collection by humans for their hides and the destruction of their habitat. The American Crocodile, declared endangered in 1975, lives only in southern Florida, where about 500 individuals survive. The species was nearly wiped out by the effects of the construction of highways, beachfront homes, and mobile home parks, as well as poaching. One of the current threats to the species is the increasing salinity of the waters in their habitat, a result of damming and other practices. The adult crocs can survive in salt water but their young cannot. Additionally, these very rare animals are sometimes killed by humans who mistake them for American Alligators, which are quite numerous and even considered a pest in some areas.
Warning Crocodiles are carnivores that feed on fish and other large water animals and also stalk prey onshore near water. All crocodiles should be considered dangerous, even those basking in the sun. They can attack with amazing suddenness and have very sharp, grasping teeth and powerfully strong jaws.
Breeding Nests built by soil, sand and mangrove peat, built by female. Eggs laid April-May. 30-35 per clutch. Hatch July/August. 9" long. When hatched, female carries them in her mouth to water.
Habitat Bogs, mangrove swamps and marshes.
Range Southern Florida & Florida Keys.
Discussion Raccoons, birds, crabs, mullet form the main diet. Weighs 400-500 kilos.

Family: Ambystomidae, Mole Salamanders view all from this family
Description Long and slender with mottled black/brown color with yellow spots that form a stripe. Fourth outer toe on hind legs characteristically long. Underside is dark brown with flecks. Occasionally has blueish spots on the side.
Dimensions Length: 10-17cm (4-6.5")
Endangered Status The Santa Cruz Long-toed Salamander, a subspecies of the Long-toed Salamander, is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered in California. This salamander was discovered in 1954, and its populations were probably already low at that time. It lives in only a few small ponds in Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties, and residential and agricultural development has adversely affected its habitat. Currently the Santa Cruz Long-toed Salamander lives in protected lands set aside as the Ellicot Slough National Wildlife Refuge, and is closely monitored by biologists.
Subspecies 5 classified subspecies. Western has dull green/yellowish color with black stripes. Eastern is bright yellow with blotches that form a black stripe. Santa Cruz is black with orange markings on its back. Northern has a yellow back stripe. Southern has yellow blotches and small spots on head. Subspecies overlaps in places.
Breeding Breeds as early as mid-February to May/June. Characteristic breeding dance performed which releases pheromones to attract females. Males group together under rocks & logs near ponds and breed for a few days. Males directly approach females and grab on. Egg surrounded by a gelatinous capsule. Embryo is visible. Eggs 2mm in diameter. Larvae, once hatched, have balancers to support their heads. With maturity these fall off and gills grow larger.
Habitat Variety of habitats including rainforest, coniferous forests, sagebrush plains and alpine meadows. Normally under woody debris, rocks and burrows.
Range Widely spread across North America. From Monterey bay to Santa Cruz through northeastern California along the pacific coast.
Discussion Hibernates in winter. Groups of 10-14 individuals. Stores protein in its skin and along its tail for hibernation. This doubles as a defence mechanism. When threatened it excretes a milky substance which is potentially poisonous. If tail is severed it will regrow.

Category: Nudibranchs view all from this category
Description Peltodoris nobilis, common names sea lemon, or the noble dorid, is a species of colorful sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusk in the family Discodorididae.
This species was previously placed in the genus Anisodoris and was known for a long time as Anisodoris nobilis. Subsequently it was known as Diaulula nobilis.
This animal gives off a pleasant citrus smell when it is handled, and this (along with its yellow coloration) is what is responsible for the common name "sea lemon". This nudibranch is variable in color, from a very pale yellow through a rich yellow, to a rather dark orange. The gill rosette is tinged with white at the tips.
The dorsum is covered in tubercles. There are a number of dark spots on the dorsum, but never on the tubercles themselves. These dark spots vary a lot in number from one individual to the next.
This animal can grow to be as large as 200 mm, or nearly 8 inches in length.
Habitat Ocean or bay shallows.
Range Northwest, Western Canada, California.

Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement's office
this wiki
The Office of the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement is an office located at the Headquarters of the Ministry of Magic. Yaxley is the only known Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement who made use of this office, but presumably other Heads like Justus Pilliwickle, Bartemius Crouch, Amelia Bones and Pius Thicknesse used it, too.
Under Amelia BonesEdit
While the office was still occupied by Amelia Bones, it was supposed to be where Harry Potter's disciplinary hearing take place in the summer of 1995 for underage magic. Cornelius Fudge changed it to Courtroom Ten at a different time in the failed hope that Harry would miss it.
Under YaxleyEdit
When Yaxley became the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement during the Voldemort/Pius Thicknesse regime at the Ministry, the office became his with the position. When Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger infiltrated the Ministry in 1997, Ron, who was impersonating Reg Cattermole of the Magical Maintenance Department, had to go to Yaxley's office because it was raining. Hermione suggested that he try to use Finite Incantatem to remove any hexes or curses that had been placed on the room. Ron, impersonating Reginald, asked if Yaxley had tried an umbrella, trying to be funny, which only infuriated him even further. Yaxley threatened Ron to have the office dried out in one hour, or his wife would be facing graver charges.

Hide lines
After slipping around the Carpathian hills on the outskirts of Prague I was amazed to find myself cruising along at 25 t o 30km/hr. I was on another plain and the wind was behind me. It felt really good. I paused long enough for lunch in Malachy and there is a spit of rain as I set off through the farmland again, however the sun is out again as I enter the lovely little village of Kuty a few km from the border.
The main street is surfaced with black cobble stones. It looks great but I can't help thinking of all the screws working loose as I shudder along
Martin tells me there is a lovely castle in Lednice, worth a look. That becomes my destination for the night. I promise to post the photos on this page as I say cheerio.
I cross the border on a small road, on the motorway about 200m away there is a very long queue of trucks. The guard exclaims "Ah, Irsko." on examining my passport and waves me on.
Lednice is indeed a lovely little village and after checking into the Oynx pension, very nice, but a little expensive, I went for a walk around the castle grounds as the sun set behind the trees around the lake. The castle is more of a big stately home than a fortified castle, and the grounds are like a mini Versaille, formal gardens, lovely mature trees, and a huge green house/arboriteum
In the little bar by the castle, I discover from the barmaid that the Ice Hockey championships are on in Czech Republic. She is very enthusiastic and produces a programme which I peruse over a couple of pints. Apparently this place is very busy from May on. I can well believe it.
The first village I passed through on Wednesday was Bulhary. The spring tidy up was well under way. People tidying their garden, weeding vegetable plots and the council out relaying pavements and verges. It'll look great in a couple of weeks.
I crossed over a large lake, I suspect it's man made as several large tree trunks stood in the middle of the lake like tombstones to a drowned forest.
Home for the night was Trebic. I found the tourist office in the main square., in the beautiful \y decorated town hall. The assistant was very helpful and soon had me booked into a pension and there was an internet cafe open till 10.30pm. Now 5.30, perfect.
Well, no. It was too easy. The pension was part of some kind of civic building. the care taker was a very nice old man who spoke no English. We went through all the formalities and I paid. Then he showed me to the accommodation block, BUT the key would not open the lock. HMM!! He went through the main hall and tried from the inside but no good. (Why can't I go that way??) Amid much shaking of head and apologies he led me back to his office and returned my money. It was actually all very comical.
The helpful women in the tourist office tried again. This time the Pension Pod. There I got a really comfortable little room. Unfortunately the internet cafe actually closed at 7pm, so my well planned evening became a bit of a farce. Things seem to work better when I have no idea what I'm doing!!
I left Trebic at noon on Thursday after using the internet in the library and having a huge breakfast in a restaurant. All very nice but now time was a bit of an issue.I arrived in Vlasim about 7pm and called it a day there. The road sign for the day was the warning triangle the a little car struggling up a 12% incline. That's what it was all day. Imagine a sheet of corrugated iron, jump on it a few times to ruffle it up a bit and that would be a good relief model of the countryside here
Vlasim looked a bit run down compared to other towns and I stayed in a hotel where the receptionist was quite upset that I was 15Kr short and even helped me look for it in my purse. She spoke no English, but as I put the money away, all 630 of it, about 20 euro, she motioned that I could stay. She had a face on her which made me feel like I was stealing her last little bit of food!! I was just knackered and glad of the bed. Most places I stay make big deal of printing out an A4 receipt, stamping it and often I have to sign up to 3 copies of it. Here not even a postage stamp size receipt, it was that kind of place I suppose.. In fairness the room was quite nice.
I had a relatively short run into Prague, only 80km. I was in anticipation wondering when I would see it. When it did appear it took me a little by surprise, emerging in the distance through the trees at the edge of a ploughed field. I had to look twice to be sure it was actually a city.
Within a couple of hours I had found the hostel, checked in, cleaned up and was on the prowl for the celebrations.


text: I think they are cool, yet odd. I think they look really cool and have some cool info, nothing new, but still cool. However, I think the character choices for some of them are odd. Did you notice they have Wald? Why would anyone want a Wald card? And they also did Zutton! For crying out loud, if they wanted to do an alien from the Cantina they could have done Dr. Evazan! And they also left out Emperor Palpatine, they did Senator Palpatine, but not Emperor. Other than some of the character selection, I think it is pretty cool. I have all of the base set except for damn Jar Jar Binks and Depa Billaba. Arg! I got an autograph, and a cool one too! I got Kenny Baker's autograph! I know he is only an A, but it is a good A. Better than someone who you never hear of like Michael Sheard (Ozzel.) I would have preffered James Earl Jones or one of the B or C autographs, of course. Well, what do you think?

Top notch service. Dan picked up my car dirty, did a full service, brake pads and brake fluid change and dropped it back off to me clean and shiny the next evening. Did me a great deal also! Will definitely be going back to Car Technic in the future.
My experience of major service + MOT (BMW 1 series) has been great with Car Technic. Daniel is a very competent mechanic who knows his business well. He is polite and easy to deal with. I really liked his frequent, honest and straightforward communication. No pushing whatsoever...... He also identified/rectified an issue which had been caused by some dodgy work by another bloke months ago. Anyway car seems to be in great shape..... Thank you!
Car Technic delivered a great service for a great price. Would highly recommend
Daniel is a good guy, collected and dropped car off when convenient for me. No fuss, easy and the car is sorted. Couple of new tyres needed so price higher than estimated. Very happy and would use again.
Very happy with the service. Picked my car up and delivered at the end of the day. This is First class service for me and value for money. I would definitely recommend this to my friends and relatives and to any one.

It failed badly, because dox/file.c requires wctype.h, which isn't included in FreeBSD. I need to try my first real coding and hack at dox/ until it compiles and *runs* under FreeBSD. Jesus, I suck.

Avoid taking antacids (e.g., aluminum/magnesium hydroxide, calcium carbonate) within 2 hours before or after this medication because they will decrease its effectiveness.
The dosage is based on your medical condition, lab tests, response to treatment, and other medications you may be taking. Do not increase your dose or take this medication more often than prescribed. Your condition will not improve any faster, and the risk of serious side effects may be increased. Be sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).
Avoid eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice while using this medication unless your doctor or pharmacist says you may do so safely. Grapefruit can increase the chance of side effects with this medicine. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
Since this drug can be absorbed through the skin and lungs, women who are pregnant or who may become pregnant should not handle this medication or breathe the dust from the tablets.
Upset stomach, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, tiredness, muscle pain, body aches, and loss of appetite may occur. If these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: bleeding problems, heart problems (e.g., irregular heartbeat), liver problems, a certain lung problem (pulmonary arterial hypertension).
Dasatinib may cause a condition that affects the heart rhythm (QT prolongation). QT prolongation can rarely cause serious (rarely fatal) fast/irregular heartbeat and other symptoms (such as severe dizziness, fainting) that need medical attention right away.
The risk of QT prolongation may be increased if you have certain medical conditions or are taking other drugs that may cause QT prolongation. Before using dasatinib, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all the drugs you take and if you have any of the following conditions: certain heart problems (heart failure, slow heartbeat, QT prolongation in the EKG), family history of certain heart problems (QT prolongation in the EKG, sudden cardiac death).
Low levels of potassium or magnesium in the blood may also increase your risk of QT prolongation. This risk may increase if you use certain drugs (such as diuretics/"water pills") or if you have conditions such as severe sweating, diarrhea, or vomiting. Talk to your doctor about using dasatinib safely.
Do not have immunizations/vaccinations without the consent of your doctor, and avoid contact with people who have recently received oral polio vaccine or flu vaccine inhaled through the nose. Wash your hands well to prevent the spread of infections.
To lower your risk of getting cut, bruised, or injured, use caution with sharp objects like razors and nail cutters, and avoid activities such as contact sports.

Doha Declaration is subject of talk, Feb. 13
Posted February 8, 2006; 05:11 p.m.
A lecture titled "The Doha Declaration: The World Affirms the Natural Family and Marriage" is set for 4:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 13, in 104 Computer Science Building.
William Saunders Jr., senior fellow and human rights counsel at the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C., will speak.
The Doha Declaration was issued by the Doha International Conference
for the Family held in November 2004 in Doha, Qatar, in celebration of
the 10th anniversary of the International Year of the Family. In
December 2004, the United Nations General Assembly ratified the
declaration, which was co-sponsored by 149 nations.
The document restates and reaffirms commitments of the international community to support and promote the natural family and marriage. Critics have said that the document aligns too closely with conservative viewpoints.
The Feb. 13 talk will examine the process leading up to the adoption
of the declaration and document's implications for international and
U.S. domestic law. It is presented by the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions in the Department of Politics as part of the "America's Founding and Future" series.

The place it s self was very central but also away from the noise of the main nite life which was good as you could have a good nites sleep, All The staff were very friendly but my only 2 concerns were. 1: when I was shown to my room on the second floor and the door was opened it stank of dampness as all the walls above the bedroom and in the bathroom were soaking wet, this was down to water soaking though the gable wall of the hotel. 2: and the bath was rotten beyond belief as I has to wear flip flops to stand in the bath to shower. Needless to say the least I will not be staying at this hotel in April 2013 when I return to koh samui Regards Peter

I stayed there for 2 nights in January. It was modern, clean and a good sized room with many amenities including TV, internet, safe in room, etc. Indeed of all of the 7 hotel I stayed in during my visit this was the best! The location is a bit out of the centre but not too bad to walk or get a taxi (I hired a motor bike for 1 day for £4 plus petrol). The only negative was the breakfast. I managed to persuade them to let me have scrambled egg and a yohurt! There is little choice, no self service so you are basically stuck with there limited choice – a real shame as it is a very good value for money hotel at around £26 a night including breakfast. I would stay there again and breakfast apart, recommend it to anyone.

Our April milestone is done, and that nasty storage leak is gone. That was a satisfying way to spend the morning.
The afternoon was spent with some coding and some meetings. I checked in two small bug fixes to Bonobo, along with a huge tweak were I got rid of some \n characters that were annoying me. Overall a nice day of coding.

text: What Comes After Planks? By Jonathan Ross Static planks are great, but they shouldn't be considered a goal—they are a starting point. Life is movement and our training should prepare us to do just that. The current record for the longest time in a plank position is three hours seven minutes and 15 seconds. That is beyond difficult to be sure, but it's also kind of pointless. It's like a long cardiovascular training session in the form of a plank. If you can hold a plank for three hours, you aren't necessarily getting any stronger—you can simply hold a plank for a really long time. Here's What You Need to Know Done properly, planks are a wonderful exercise for teaching trunk, hip and shoulder stability by integrating a full-body contraction. This is an ideal starting point for activity. Once you've mastered good plank technique, stop holding it for longer amounts of time and start moving it. Despite the intense muscle burning, long isometrics actually burn the lowest number of calories. Life is movement, not the absence of it. Follow a system for developing moving plank options so you know why you are adding any movement to planks. Whenever I am speaking on the topic of ab training, I always ask the audience, "What's the purpose of planks?" I am usually met with silence, so I'll ask the question again, this time letting them know that they are unlikely to offer an incorrect answer. Now, I start to get some responses, most of which are abstract and generic, even if they are correct, such as: "They teach full-body stability." "They develop good core strength." "They help prevent back pain." O.K., but why do I want any of that? What's the purpose of having good core strength and full body stability? To do stuff! It's not a complicated answer. We tend to overcomplicate and sometimes overthink things in fitness. Whatever you (or your clients) want to do—play a sport, play tag with your kids, compete in obstacle races or catch butterflies—you want to feel good when you do it and not have to worry about your body. The same is true for the stuff we all have to do, but may not really love to do (things like doing laundry and yard work or putting away groceries). Thus, the ultimate purpose of planks is to get better at moving. It makes little sense then to have a core-strengthening program that focuses strictly on the absence of movement. This idea has gotten out of hand to the point where some people erroneously recommend doing only anti-rotation exercises to train rotation. Think about it this way: Sitting behind the wheel of a car that is motionless is not how you learn to drive. This idea has become popular because some have ascribed to the idea that rotation is "dangerous." In other news, life is dangerous, so you'd better train for it. Life will ask you to move quickly, randomly and correctly at some point to avoid injury. Proximal strength equals distal power. In other words, strength in the center gives you more powerful, controlled movements. Keeping still forever in exercise is like staying in first grade forever. You learn planks to be able to do harder things. Planks are very effective for preparing you to do something harder than a plank. A recent ACE ProSource article examined some of the reasons why planks are, in fact, a great core exercise. The purpose of this article is to take this concept a step further and give you a framework for thoughtfully (not randomly) adding movement into planks. You and your clients can use the following system for introducing movement into your plank training: 1. Partner reactivity 2. Move the torso (center of mass) 3. Move an extremity 4. Translate the body through space/ambulate 5. Combinations (combine elements of steps 1 through 4 to make new variations) One important concept that flows through all of these examples is that you can vary the speed of movement to manipulate the intensity of any moving plank. Also, just about any plank variation will work with your choice of upper-body support position (i.e., elbow or hand). Partner Reactivity Sample Exercise: Side Plank in Suspension Trainer with Impulse Taps This plank variation adds a stability challenge by having the feet in a suspension trainer, which is then further progressed by having a partner provide reactive taps to the straps. HOW TO DO IT: Get into a side plank position in a suspension trainer with the top leg in front. With a lot of the weight on the feet (where there is the most instability), this variation can be a terrific indicator of the ability of the core muscles to absorb and control rapid and unpredictable forces while maintaining balance. (A real-world correlate would be when riding public transportation and there is a change in speed or when another passenger accidently bumps into you.) While holding the plank, the partner provides reactive taps to the straps or perhaps even to the body of the exerciser. TIPS: Having the top leg in front helps keep the hips stacked—putting the bottom leg in front makes it harder to hold stability. The tapping partner has a great vantage point to enable coaching of full-body alignment during the plank. In general, looking straight ahead promotes proper alignment as the body will often go where the eyes tell the brain to move it. Move the Torso (Center of Mass) Sample Exercise: Plank With Hip Drop This variation allows for movement of the torso, which is where the body's center of mass is located, and trains the ability of the arms and leg to be stable with varying amounts of body weight shifting into and out of each limb. HOW TO DO IT: Get into a plank position. From there, lower to one side as you roll through the feet to lightly touch the outer thigh to the floor. Lift up and back over, passing through the top position of a great plank, and lower down to lightly touch the other outer thigh to the floor. TIPS: Be sure to get all the way back up to the top of a plank in the center. If you are unable to touch the floor without an elbow coming up, simply work within a range of motion that allows the arms to stay grounded and progress over time. Move an Extremity Sample Exercise: Plank With Limb Lift This simple concept provides endless opportunities for plank variations by moving arm(s) or leg(s) in a wide variety of ways. HOW TO DO IT: Get into a plank position. Lift a limb with control and shift the body weight over the remaining limbs that have ground contact. Lifting an arm is harder than lifting a leg; to lift a leg, keep the feet very close together to start rather than maintaining a wider base of support. The example here shows the most common variation—a leg lift—but this is really just a launching point for endless variations of arm and leg movements. TIPS: Consider moving arms and legs in the sagittal, frontal and transverse planes to aid in creating new variations of your own that provide a movement experience with maps directly to the ACE Integrated Fitness Training Model. Adding speed, as in "Plank Jacks" (where your feet hop out and in, as in a jumping jack), is always a possibility once the ability to maintain stability with moving limbs is achieved. Translate the Body Through Space Sample Exercise: Walking Plank Note: For a video demonstration of this exercise and others, along with details on how to form an excellent plank by using muscles of the entire body, check out Ross's popular ACE video Plank School. This plank variation builds on skills learned when moving both the limbs and the torso. HOW TO DO IT: Get into a plank position at one edge of a mat. Begin to "walk" sideways on your elbows and feet until you reach the opposite edge of the mat. Return to the starting position. That's one rep. Typically, most people's form will begin to degrade after only three to five reps. TIPS: Watch for excessive wiggling and rotation of the hips. There will always be some, but when fatigue sets in the ability to move smoothly and with control begins to disappear rapidly. For a fun variation, try this face-up (but on hands.) It's a good idea to do some reverse or supine planking. In grade school, we'd do "crab walks" all the time. Why did we ever stop? Bonus or alternative exercise: Suspension Trainer "Climbing" Plank Combinations Sample Exercise: Plank Walk-in This plank variation combines multiple strategies discussed in this article: shifting the torso, moving the limbs and translating the body through space. HOW TO DO IT: From a plank position, walk the feet forward in small steps. Keep the knees low but off the floor and walk them in as far as is comfortable and possible. TIPS: Take small steps and keep the knees low. As fatigue sets in, the tendency will be to take bigger steps and lift the hips higher in the air. Add variations, such as walking slightly out to one side as you walk forward or even out to a side plank. Wrap-Up Remember, planks are great—they just shouldn't go on forever. Once you master the skill of performing a plank, it is best to progress to a harder exercise rather than to keep performing this foundational exercise for longer amounts of time. For the majority of people, time is a precious commodity. This means that the time spent exercising must be spent performing the most valuable activities and exercises. And holding a plank for minutes at a time is ultimately a poor way to spend this valuable time when there are better options to more successfully prepare for the unpredictable nature of life's movement demands. Life is movement, so train for it.

See Warok now!
As promised, in a slowly continuing series of polls to examine whether our readers want all the vintage figures remade for the modern collection, this week we look at the Ewok Warok.
He is one of the tribe's warriors who helped Chewbacca capture an AT-ST in the Battle of Endor.
78% of our readers voted YES for a modern version of a human B-wing Pilot.
89% of our readers voted YES for a modern version of General Madine.
93% of our readers voted YES for a new version of the Imperial Dignitary
88% of our readers voted YES for a new action figure for Romba the Ewok.
There are about 15 figures at the most, which existed as Kenner Star Wars figures from the 1980's that Hasbro has not remade in an all new likeness of.

I have this box. I had them design it so that 3 wingers could slide in under the box. This is not a top quality box, but its also 1/3 the price and has done well for me for 3 years now. Its annoying the latches are not slam shut style. The 2 storage boxes on the side are nice but I am constantly messing with the latches on those, they never seal properly. They made the brackets out of aluminum which bend way too easy. I had full size vent holes with bars put in the front instead of the small ones it comes with; I still don't feel like the dogs get enough air. You can reach in the top and feel its much hotter and stale.

Marty is just flat out too hot here for that type box IMO. If you go with one you will want it insulated to the gills. Otherwise it will be an oven.
Don't waste your money on that junk, save till you can go first class.

Pseudo Jinchuuriki Sora
Character Information:
Sora is a monk in the fire temple of the land of fire. He came to be a monk when he was young when his father Kazuma was presumed dead after the coup of the 12 ninja gaurdians. At the temple, Sora trained hard in hopes of some day avenging his father and clearing his name, as Sora refused to believe what a horrible man people claimed him to be. Sora's father during the attack of the kyubi on konoha managed to collect the remnants of the kyubi's chakra and then seal it within sora's body thus creating sora to be known as a Pseudo-jinchuuriki. He had enough chakra stored within him to be able to form a full chakra cloak with four tails. One day he went berserk and destroyed the temple, a place otherwise believed to be an indestructible fortress. Afterwards, he was loathed by some of the monks of the temple, and soon began receiving the same ostracising treatment that Naruto Uzumaki experienced while young.
Sora has a natural ability for the use of wind natured techniques. He is able to manipulate wind to form powerful gusts capable of lifting and pushing away objects, or create chakra-infused wind blades capable of cutting through most materials. The pinnacle of his wind manipulation is to create a powerful claw composed of chakra-infused wind that he controls as an extension of his own arm. This allows him to use wind elemental technqiues with less hand seals than required. He also has good skill in close quarters combat after being trained in a unique style of the monks temple.

The Real Cancún: Thousands of Farmers, Environmentalists, Workers, and Human
Rights Activists Protest World Trade Organization Summit in Mexico
Range of Spokespeople Available for Interview
Nearly four years ago, protests against the World Trade Organization helped
derail a new round of trade talks. Today
demonstrations against the so-called "free trade" agenda. Global civil
society and the WTO are once again poised for a spectacular confrontation.
Since the "Battle in Seattle" there has been much confusion about the
motives of those opposed to WTO policies. Reporters routinely refer to
demonstrators as "anti-globalization" protesters. But "anti-corporate" would
be much more accurate.
When WTO negotiators say they want to liberalize trade in services, public
interest groups hear the agenda of multinational corporations seeking to
privatize healthcare and education. When WTO negotiators say it's necessary
to protect investment, civil society organizations glimpse a plan to allow
corporations to sue national governments for any regulations that may impact
profits, dramatically undercutting the powers of elected officials. And when
WTO negotiators resist any attempts to address labor or environmental
concerns, advocacy groups see a powerful international organization that
puts profit making above any other competing value.
Most WTO critics aren't afraid of globalization. They're afraid of
corporations manipulating the happy language of trade to advance a
deregulatory scheme that will destroy any remaining corporate accountability
A range of spokespeople are available to discuss the specific policy
concerns behind the growing WTO opposition, the makeup of the WTO
opposition, and the street marches in Cancún:

Does anyone still get Joann's coupons in their Sunday paper? I haven't received any for several weeks. Thanks.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Does anyone still get Joann's coupons in their Sunday paper? I haven't received any for several weeks. Thanks.
Never saw in Sunday paper, but then again have not purchased a Sunday paper in years. I get their flyers via mail
They will honor hobby lobby coupons
Have never gotten them in the Sunday paper - but like Geri B., no Sunday paper, lol. But I do get emials from them with the coupons and also get postcard/flyers from them with printed coupons. Go to their web site and sign up.
God Bless Quilters and Sewers
You can sign up to get them online or "There's an app for that." I get them on my iPhone.
If you have a 'smart phone' .... there is a JoAnns app.
edit ~ need to read all post duh! mckwilter just said that.
"I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand." -Confucius
We still get an occasional ad in the Sunday paper, last one was probably before Easter ... it's the larger size flyer like Michael's has ... must be a sporadic thing
I still get the flyers but not as regular as in the past. We get the St Paul Pioneer Press newspaper
Jeannie T
I get mine in the mail, didn't know about the iPhone app. Thanks for sharing.
For our wonderful Golden Retriever adopted in March of 2010.
I've never gotten Joann's in the paper. I get the flyer in the mail and have the app on my phone. Joann's will take Michaels coupons as well as Hobby Lobby's.
I promise not to buy any more fabric until I see something I really like. Or it's on sale. Or I think it might match something.

Jobs and economy
Some voters scoffed at Walker"s pledge to create 250,000 jobs in his four-year term. But economists are as likely as not to say that's a good bet.
Wisconsin has lost more than 155,000 jobs since the recession began, though private sector employment is up 34,700 in the last year, state figures show.
It went with less notice, but Walker also promised 10,000 new businesses would be created.
Walker didn't show many cards on his economic development strategy — targeted tax cuts, restructuring a state agency, staying in touch with business leaders — but his concrete job pledge makes this an easy one to track.
Walker and Republicans in the Capitol are primed to remove enrollment caps on private school choice and on virtual charter schools.
That was a Walker promise, along with bringing back the "qualified economic offer" system for school labor negotiations.
Walker also promised to grade schools based on quality, allow more teachers without education degrees and end social promotion for third graders who can't read up to standard.
"Nothing he proposed was out of reach," said Olsen, who will chair the Senate Education Committee.
Perhaps the most controversial Walker education pledge is removing residency requirements for teachers.
Milwaukee city officials long have fought that, saying that ending residency would drain middle-class residents from the city; Walker says it's an arbitrary barrier that keeps qualified teachers from applying in certain districts.
Natural Resources
From the specific (appoint "Whitetail Deer trustee") to the broad (allow increased access to state lands), Walker made a big play for hunter-voters, promising a less-regulated deer hunt and a more "hunter friendly" Department of Natural Resources.
It appears many of his promises in this area are within his power. For instance: He wants a farmer on the DNR board, audits of fish and wildlife spending and a study group on hunting and the environment.
Here is a link to his campaign promises

12.22: The Nitrogen Cycle
What can bean plants do that most other plants can't?
No, they don't grow giant stalks to the clouds. Bean plants and other legumes (plants that have their seeds in pods) can use the nitrogen in the air to grow. It takes the help of special bacteria friends in the soil, and this relationship is unique to the legumes.
The Nitrogen Cycle
Like water and carbon, nitrogen is also repeatedly recycled through the biosphere. This process is called the nitrogen cycle. Nitrogen is one of the most common elements in living organisms. It is important for creating both proteins and nucleic acids, like DNA. The air that we breathe is mostly nitrogen gas (N2), but, unfortunately, animals and plants cannot use the nitrogen when it is a gas. In fact, plants often die from a lack of nitrogen even through they are surrounded by plenty of nitrogen gas. Nitrogen gas (N2) has two nitrogen atoms connected by a very strong triple bond. Most plants and animals cannot use the nitrogen in nitrogen gas because they cannot break that triple bond.
In order for plants to make use of nitrogen, it must be transformed into molecules they can use. This can be accomplished several different ways (Figure below).
- Lightning: Nitrogen gas can be transformed into nitrate (NO3-) that plants can use when lightning strikes.
- Nitrogen fixation: Special nitrogen-fixing bacteria can also transform nitrogen gas into useful forms. These bacteria live in the roots of plants in the pea family. They turn the nitrogen gas into ammonium (NH4+). In water environments, bacteria in the water can also fix nitrogen gas into ammonium. Ammonium can be used by aquatic plants as a source of nitrogen.
- Nitrogen also is released to the environment by decaying organisms or decaying wastes. These wastes release nitrogen in the form of ammonium.
Ammonium in the soil can be turned into nitrate by a two-step process completed by two different types of bacteria. In the form of nitrate, nitrogen can be used by plants through the process of assimilation. It is then passed along to animals when they eat the plants.
Sending Nitrogen back to the Atmosphere
Turning nitrate back into nitrogen gas, the process of denitrification, happens through the work of denitrifying bacteria. These bacteria often live in swamps and lakes. They take in the nitrate and release it back to the atmosphere as nitrogen gas.
Just like the carbon cycle, human activities impact the nitrogen cycle. These human activities include the burning of fossil fuels, which release nitrogen oxide gasses into the atmosphere. Releasing nitrogen oxide back into the atmosphere leads to problems like acid rain.
The nitrogen cycle includes assimilation, when plants absorb nitrogen; nitrogen-fixing bacteria that make the nitrogen available to plants in the form of nitrates; decomposers that transform nitrogen in dead organisms into ammonium; nitrifying bacteria that turn ammonium into nitrates; and denitrifying bacteria that turn nitrates into gaseous nitrogen.
- acid rain: Precipitation or deposits with a low (acidic) pH.
- assimilation: Process of incorporating nitrogen from the soil into plants.
- denitrification: Process of converting nitrates in soil back into nitrogen gas.
- nitrogen cycle: Pathways through which nitrogen is recycled through the biosphere.
- nitrogen fixation: Process of converting nitrogen gas in the air into nitrates in the soil.
- Gaseous nitrogen is converted into forms that can be used by plants during the process of nitrogen fixation.
- Denitrifying bacteria turn nitrate back into gaseous nitrogen.

For the 11th consecutive year, the Rhode Island Black Storytellers (RIBS) are bringing stories and tellers from near and far for the eight-day FUNDA Fest (January 18-25). Funda means to teach and to learn in Zulu and KiSwahili, and that element of storytelling will happen at the public concerts as well as the in-school events. From Westerly to Woonsocket, Newport to Providence, families and storytelling fans will have ample opportunity to hear local spoken word artists — Riders Against the Storm (Jon Mahone and Ghislaine Jean Mahone) and Spittin Images (Christopher Johnson, Yunus Quddos, Lawrence Nunes) — plus local storytellers Len Cabral, Abigail Ifatola Jefferson, Raffini, Melodie Thompson, Valerie Tutson, and Rochel Coleman. RIBS founding member Ramona Bass-Kolobe, here from her home in Botswana, will also participate. And national storytellers Teju Ologboni, from Milwaukee, and Mitch Capel, aka Gran'daddy Junebug, from North Carolina, will return to FUNDA, in addition to newcomer Diane Macklin from Maryland. (Go to ribsfest.com for the full schedule.)
Macklin, 37, came to storytelling via teaching, and she still does in-school programs for students and teachers. But she came to see storytelling as "the most traditional form of teaching.
"I wanted to broaden myself to the wide universe," Macklin recalled in a recent phone conversation from her Silver Spring home. "I see storytelling as teaching in the most simple and yet most complex way. There's an African proverb that says 'tales are the food of the ear' and my spin on it is 'you must mind what you eat!' We must make sure that the tales we give each other help us to continue to grow and learn to be one human race and one community."
Macklin has a vibrant, moldable face to portray the characters in her stories, and she often accompanies the rhythm of her words with a shekere, an African percussion instrument made from a dried gourd strung with beads on the outside. The bulk of her stories are from the African diaspora, though she spun a favorite story from an African proverb, a Jewish folktale, and the yarns of her parents, who are from the American South. She grew up in New York, listening to the riddles, jokes, and trickster tales of her father and her Mississippi grandfather. Though an English degree from Vassar and an M.A.T. from Simmons took her into grade-school teaching for five years, she rediscovered her love of storytelling when she moved to the DC area, where she is now the resident storyteller at the Smithsonian African Art Museum.
Macklin was very influenced by the storytelling of the late Mary Carter Smith and by Harold Courlander and George Herzog's 1947 classic of West African tales, The Cow-Tail Switch. But she reaches beyond the African and African American traditions to embrace the many other cultures that make up this diverse country — she counts a large portion of her heritage as Native American, though she honors her grandfather and her mother's desire to be seen as African American.
"I cater more toward the African in my storytelling: Ethiopia, Ghana, Cameroon, Nigeria," she noted, "because my great-great-great-grandmother was from Africa, and I get to know her by knowing stories she might have heard and by trying to learn about that place and what it was like growing up for her."

Bingo.....one of the downfalls of the country is that we talk tough and say that we are fiscal conservatives and social moderates but we vote for moderate to liberal tax and spend politicians who have the morals of an alley cat...or even worse they dont vote at all, but sit back and whine and biaatch about how things are being run....IMHO neither party really represents the majority of America or Americans...they only represent the lobbyists and special interest groups that fund them
A viable third party would break up the logjam but the Dems and Repubs may never let it happen because then they may have to actually do some work..
