|Team Info
The Sound Four (音隠れの忍四人衆, Otogakure no Shinobi Yonin Shū; Literally meaning "Hidden Sound Shinobi Four People") were Orochimaru's elite bodyguards, though they are technically five despite Sakon and Ukon counting as one entity because of their kekkei genkai.
Seeing their opponents as inferior to themselves, each member was given a cursed seal. The four were reluctantly forced to accept Kimimaro in their ranks when he single handily defeated them all, their group temporary called the Sound Five (音隠れの忍五人衆, Otogakure no Shinobi Gonin Shū; Literally meaning "Hidden Sound Shinobi Five People") until Kimimaro's illness kept him from participating normally as the Sound Four supported Orochimaru during the Invasion of Konoha.
Despite their young age, all members of the Sound Four were among Orochimaru's strongest ninja and become his personal bodyguards. Coupled with their Collaboration Techniques and individual skills, Orochimaru placed his Juinjutsu on them to increased their strength. Out of all members, former member Kimimaro was the strongest among them and was one of Orochimaru's most prized subordinate, possessing the powerful Cursed Seal of Earth and the rare Kekkai Genkai Shikotsumyaku of the Kaguya Clan. After defeating the Sound Four with ease, Kimimaro become the group's leader before stepping down due to his deadly illness.
Part I
Chūnin Exam Arc
In the anime, Kimimaro and Sound Four was revealed to have participated in for killing the Kusagakure ninja Shiore and his team so that Orochimaru could impersonate him. After assassinating of the Fourth Kazekage and his bodyguards, Orochimaru and the Sound Four masqueraded as them in perpetration to invade Konohagakure, whilst Kimimaro's disease fully manifests and was send back to Otogakure to be (unsuccessfully) treated by Kabuto Yakushi.
Invasion of Konoha Arc
Once the invasion of Konoha began, the Sound Four discarded their disguises alongside their master and erected the Four Violet Flames Formation barrier to prevented anyone from interfering in the battle between Orochimaru and The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. After his defeat, they carried Orochimaru out of the village and retreated back to Otogakure.
Sasuke Retrieval Arc
When Orochimaru sent the Sound Four to bring him Sasuke Uchiha, they are soon confronted and entered multiple battles within the three-day limited of their mission. After exerting themselves against two Konoha Jonin, Jirōbō and Kidōmaru were respectively killed by Chōji Akimichi and Neji Hyūga when they and their team were deployed to bring Sasuke back to Konoha. Sakon and his brother overwhelmed Kiba Inuzuka while Tayuya almost killed Shikamaru before the remaining Oto ninja were killed off when their opponents received aid from Kankurō and Temari. Though he joined the fray to ensure the mission succeeds, Kimimaro died from his illness as he almost killed Rock Lee and Gaara.
Part II
Foruth Shinbi War Arc
It would be revealed years later during the Fourth Shinobi World War that Kabuto Yakushi assimilated DNA samples from the Sound Four and Kimimaro, using Sakon and Ukon's Attack of the Twin Demons ability to create a shape-shifting construct from his body to use the abilities of the entire Sound Five.[3] Kimimaro himself was brought to life with Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation to assisted in the war, believing Orochimaru was the one who summoned him, and fought diligently until his soul was released back to the afterlife.
In the anime, the Sound Four are reincarnated by Kabuto as a part of a "wish granted" by Orochimaru, from a promise that they would become "the ones who seek vengeance" after their deaths. Kabuto took advantage of this not only for them to serve as test subjects on how the cursed seals function with reincarnated ninja, but also as a diversion to slow down the remaining Allied Shinobi Forces while he prepared his trump card.[4] Believing they were all brought back by Orochimaru as a reward, the Sound Four engaged their respective Sasuke Retrieval Team opponents in battle again. Though their opponents got stronger since the last time they fought, the Sound Four trapped them with the Space–Time Technique Formula: Underworld Turnover technique so they can have their revenge even if they are somehow defeated. However, Shikamaru tricks the Sound Four into embracing their undying hatred so Naruto can find the barrier and destroy it. Denied their revenge, the Sound Four attack Naruto before he easily defeats them as they are sent back to the afterlife.[5]
Despite being young, all four of them are strong enough to become Orochimaru's bodyguards, and were all talented with barrier and sealing techniques, as well being knowledgeable of Juinjutsu and Orochimaru's curses seals. Shortly after their introduction during the invasion of Konoha, they used Four Violet Flames Formation to create a box-like barrier, that causes anything that touches it to burst into flames. When the group later fetched Sasuke, they used the Four Black Fogs Formation and Dark Sealing Method to protect Sasuke from harm. As the group later rested, they set up a Barrier Method Formation as well as several traps around a large part of the forest. In the anime, they were also capable of using the Space–Time Technique Formula: Underworld Turnover.[4]
Each member of the Sound Four also had a cardinal direction associated with them; this was probably a reference to their positions when performing techniques as a group: Jirōbō of the South, Kidōmaru of the East, Sakon and Ukon of the West, and Tayuya of the North.[6]
As with most of his powerful followers, Orochimaru branded them with different cursed seals, which greatly enhanced their individual abilities. In the anime, Shikamaru stated that each members' prowess was of jōnin-level.[7] Their individual abilities made them a well-balanced team overall:[8]
- Jirōbō possessed brute strength and powerful Earth Release techniques, particularly his Earth Release Barrier: Earth Prison Dome of Magnificent Nothingness, can slow and weaken enemies by stealing their chakra.
- With his unique spider-like abilities, Kidōmaru was talented in long-range attacks, surveillance and detection.
- With their kekkei genkai, Sakon and Ukon were skilled at close-range and combination attacks.
- Tayuya was capable of multi-directional support through genjutsu or by controlling her Doki.
- Rank: Unknown
- Status: Partial Success
During the Invasion of Konoha, the Sound four erected a barrier which prevented anyone from meddling in the battle between Orochimaru and The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. After his defeat, they carried Orochimaru out of the village and to safety.
- Rank: Unkown
- Status: Partially Successful
On Orochimaru's orders, the Sound Four convinced Sasuke to joined them after showcasing their power and escort him to Orochimaru so he could use the Living Corpse Reincarnation on Sasuke to make him his new host body. They were given about a three-day time limited to complete this mission. However, the Sound Four soon engaged in an exhausting battle with Genma Shiranui and Raido Namiashi. Soon after, Konoha's Sasuke Retrieval Team forced both teams split up one by one in order carry out their mission. Although they failed to bring Sasuke within the time limited for their master to use as a host, the Sound Four was able stopped Konoha's forces and their allies from reaching him with helped from the powerful, yet terminally-illed Kimimaro. At the cost of all the members' lives, Sasuke successfully made it to Otogakure to begin his training with Orochimaru.

- The recurring symbol on the Sound Four's tunics was the yin-yang, though the yin colour (black) was missing. The missing yin represented imbalance, alluding to their evil natures and to that of the seals, preventing harmony in life.
- Jirōbō and Sakon (and Ukon) specialised in close-quarter combat, while Kidōmaru and Tayuya specialised in long range combat. Kimimaro was balanced in both types.
- Each member of the Sound Four tended to have a flaw in their personality that slows down the team: Jirōbō gets hungry and stays behind to feed, Kidōmaru tends to play around with his opponents if they interest him, Sakon can easily lose his temper and showcases the fact that he is the strongest of the four by not stopping until his opponents are dead, and Tayuya has a "doesn't want-to-lose" mentality.[9]
- Kidōmaru was the only member to wear an Oto forehead protector.

The Club At Carolina Stadium Resident
Rent was way too high for an apartment that had the least amount of renovations possible for it to be consider Read Moreed renovated. Old apartment, had cigarette smell trapped in apartment from previous tenants. Renovations to community took forever to complete. Apartment not energy efficient at all. Tiny shuttle to campus that you have to run to in order to claim a seat. Infestations from fruit flies, roaches, and Palmetto bugs.

We have spoken of a life-altering announcement for a short while now. Well, here it is, and it isn't a happy one. After a year and a half of dedicated low-end wizardry, our beloved bassist and dear friend George Faulknier is going to be parting ways with The Anatomy of Frank. Our show on March 31, 2012 at Hereford College will be George's last hometown show, and April 27 in Harrisonburg will likely be his last show with the band.
This decision is something that we all agreed on quite mutually, and was absolutely not due to any animosity or conflicts between anyone in the band. Nay, this quintuplet of blokes are about as in love with one another as five supposedly straight men could be. Rather, the decision to part ways was one of necessity, for George is one of the hardest working people we know and cannot commit the time needed for our road-warrior lifestyle at this point in his life.
You probably didn't know this about George. Sure, we mentioned that he drives hundreds of miles each week. Did we also mention that he has, at the tender age of 22, invested lavish amounts of money into buying his own business in Scottsville? Or that he has owned and operated his own produce business for over a year? Or that, while most of us wake up and work 9-5 jobs, George works from 4:30 AM to 10:30 PM several days a week, and only slightly shorter hours the rest of the days? Or that, when we played shows in places like Asheville, NC, George drove separately so that he could wake up 3 hours after loading off stage to drive back to the store in Virginia?
Of COURSE you didn't know this about George; how could you? For everything I have just said, the most amazing bit of all is that George doesn't ever complain. Most people (myself included) would bemoan my situation tirelessly if I had to juggle a music career with another whose hours rival those of a Manhattan investment banker. It feels natural to do so; it lets people commiserate with you, it gives you approval for the massive sacrifice you are making. But all you ever saw of George was a smiling, dancing, fun-loving guy with muttonchops that would have made Ambrose Burnside hang himself, playing incredible bass lines and adding to the positive energy on stage.
For this, George has become a very important role model for me. As graciously and elegantly as he entered and contributed to The Anatomy of Frank, he now resigns with understanding and kindness. Our aspirations for success and progress as a band, while incongruent with his busy schedule, are so deeply rooted in his skills and support that he will forever be an integral part of our music.
Not to be verbose, but I would like to share two particular memories that stick out to me of George:
One of them occurred in the early days, when we would have to sneak into empty UVA classrooms in the middle of the night to practice. We would spend an hour hauling our things inside, setting up, moving desks, and then practice for 2-3 hours before packing up and heading home around 2 AM. One night, George called me 30 minutes before our meeting time to request my help in keeping him from falling asleep. He was going to make it to practice, he said, but he was driving on Interstate 64 and was having trouble staying awake. As it turned out, he had been awake and working since 5 AM and was just now getting into town on a drive from Georgia. The next morning he would have to be up at 6 (he didn't tell me this, of course, but I knew it from his schedule). The guy is a powerhouse of good nature—that night, of course, I sent him home to sleep.
Another one of my favorite George moments came at a show in Lynchburg, while playing Rivermont Pizza. Our set was approaching its final songs, and we were ass-deep in a shamelessly jammy version of Chameleon (note: time-filler and favorite of drunk people) by Herbie Hancock. Erik signaled for George to take a solo. Now, we in the band know that George is not an ordinary bassist. He is a full-fledged virtuoso. He possesses all the powers of slapping, tapping, rhythmic prowess, and terrifying agility on the fretboard that you might expect from the greats like Flea and Victor Wooten. But, most importantly, he never overdoes anything, and is always tasteful when playing, so you wind up witnessing a guy who plays a very mature and minimalistic role in the band. This particular night, however, he built a solo that started out slow and easy and built to an electrifying climax that made me and much of the audience break out in goosebumps. George is able to play bass using all four fingers, hitting the strings in rapid succession with the speed of a snare drum roll, and in the final moments of his solo, I realized that I had never been part of such an inspired improvisation. And afterwards, he fell right back into the groove. That, I think, summarizes George Faulknier.
Do not fear for the future of the band. We have found and begun training a new bassist, who will be debuting with us in the upcoming months. As with George, he is an awesome guy who loves the music, is perfectly compatible with our personalities, and is already accomplishing the Herculean task of filling George's shoes. Forgive my cliche, but when one chapter ends, another begins, and we are already feeling the energizing effects of admiring George's legacy and seeing the potential of what is to come.
George, we love you deeply and you will always be a part of what we do. We all wish you the best in everything; not the best of luck, of course, because people who work as hard as you do don't need luck. And to everyone else, thank you for being there to witness the fantastic foundations George laid for this band. The other guys may get on here and write some thoughts of their own, or they may not; either way, we all share the same sentiments and you will always be in our hearts.
Best to you George. Always enjoyed your talents. Keep playing and pass the torch when you can.

I knew there was no chance of escape but i had to keep going. I have no idea what just happened in that alley but i knew it wasnt good. I looked behind me, they were catching up! But my legs were starting to ache. 'no' i thought to myself 'i have to keep going'. I heard them, they were... hissing... how strange. But i couldnt criticize now not when they were about to kill me! "thats what she thinks" one of them said. At that remark i had to think... They're not going to kill me? Well then what could they possibly want. I finally wondered 'i didn't say that out loud so how could he have heard me?' this was not good. I tripped, it took me a second to notice but when i did i was grabbed and lifted up. Before i knew what was going on one of them had there head nuzzled into my neck there was a sharp pain but then a warmth all throughout my body.
Chapter 1 Survival
I ran along the street, my throat burning. I need to eat something i thought. I just wasn't sure i wanted food. A trash can fell over, i could smell a human. That there made me take a step back, how could i smell humans when i am human? I couldn't think about this now i was way too hungry, suddenly i realized the human smelled really good, My mouth started to water. My gums began to hurt i put my hand to my mouth and felt something pointy, were those my teeth? before i realized, i had my teeth at his neck, i couldn't control myself and i started to drink. It tasted so good, but when i realized what i was doing it was to late for him. I dropped the body in disgust at what id done. I ran into an alley at super sonic speed. That was last straw of hope to being normal, i knew something happened but i wasn't sure what. I'm not canadian i thought and im not a kardashian, or am i... Nah What else could it be...

Product Description
Don't wax your car, coat it with Duragloss!
Nanoglass ceramic coating system
Works on all paint systems
Provides long-lasting protection
The Duragloss Enviroshield Coating System includes everything you need to give your paint long-lasting, extreme paint protection and a high-gloss shine. When used properly, the Duragloss Enviroshield Coating System will coat your paint with a nanoglass ceramic layer that repels dirt, grime, moisture and contamination while causing water to bead into tiny droplets. Like all Duragloss products, Enviroshield will create a high-gloss, "wet look" shine.
The Duragloss Enviroshield Coating System includes:
Duragloss Enviroshield Squeaky Clean, 4 oz.
Use Squeaky Clean to remove surface residue, imbedded dirt, old waxes and polish. A clean surface is necessary for Nanoglass Ceramic Coating to bond properly to the surface. Because Squeaky Clean leaves no residue behind, it is also ideal to use before applying any wax or paint sealant. You can apply it by hand or with a dual-action orbital polisher.
Duragloss Enviroshield Nanoglass Ceramic Coating, 4 oz.
Nanoglass Ceramic Coating seals and protects all paint systems from acid rain, UV rays, salt and environmental pollutants. This product creates a tremendous molecular bond to the paint for maximum durability. The protection formed by Nanoglass Ceramic Coating will not wash away with harsh acids or alkaline products. Simply wipe into the paint thoroughly with the included foam applicator pad.
2x Duragloss Coating Applicator Pads
Use these dual-sided applicators to apply and remove Squeaky Clean or Nanoglass Ceramic Coating. One side of the applicator features a soft, short-nap microfiber that is ideal for applying Squeaky Clean to the surface. Use the fine, soft foam for applying perfectly thin layers of Nanoglass Ceramic Coating.
Duragloss Microfiber Towel
Use this silky smooth microfiber towel to lightly buff the paint after applying Enviroshield Nanoglass Ceramic Coating.
System Contents:
4 oz. Duragloss Nanoglass Ceramic Coating
4 oz. Duragloss Squeaky Clean Surface Prep
2 x Duragloss dual-sided Coating Applicator Pads

text: UNION GAP, Wash.-- The Union Gap Police Department says fewer cars are getting broken into in the Valley Mall area. Last year at this time, police responded to 20 reports of car prowls around the mall. This year, that number is down by almost 50%.Officers say there's no way to know why the number has gone down so much, but they say people might be doing a better job protecting themselves and their property by keeping cars locked and valuables out of sight. "I'm one of those type of people, I just never keep anything of value in my rig, or try not to. Stock stereo, you know, something they're not going to want to steal," said James Smith. Officers say car prowls and thefts typically spike in the summer months, so it's important for people to be aware when they park their cars.

Was it ethical for the speaker to settle the harassment claim? Was it ethical for the attorney general to hide it from the public. First of all, Vito Lopez was ethically imoral to horass his employers. In a place of buisness, women should not have to deal with the unethical actions of a boss in order to keep their job. The assembly speaker was incorrect for passing this claim on the sexual offernder. If multiple cases were appearing on this assemblyman, there must of been some evidence for a warrant. It was completly unethical for the attorney general to sweep this case under the rug. To not prosecute this assemblymen for his actions, all of these people should be held accountable for their immoral actions.

President's Day Mini House Tour: The White House
Leaving politics aside for the moment, we figured that most everyone would be interested in a small peek at the design choices made during the Bush administration at the White House, which is featured in the new issue of Architectural Digest. Whether viewed with morbid curiosity, patriotic fervor or pure and simple decor obsession...here it is:
According to Architectural Digest (which features these White House photos in the March 2008 issue), "The presidents and first ladies who have lived in the White House since its completion in 1800 have left their mark on its rooms and grounds. When President George W. Bush took office, First Lady Laura Bush continued the tradition, overseeing a major redecoration of several rooms, in consultation with Forth Worth, Texas, designer Kenneth Blasingame."

When I look at the pictures of the Oval office all I can think about is all the damage to the world that has been done in that room for the last eight years.
would be interesting to see pictures from when Clinton was president... I remember reading how workers were busy redecorating -- painting, recarpeting, changing the furniture -- in the Oval Office while the Inauguration was going on, so that it was a completely different office at the end of the day. Kind of scary when you think about it...
I agree. I find all of those rooms incredibly claustrophobic and cloying. It all seems to be about power and not comfort. Interesting that there's not a thing on the desk in the oval office as well. Nada, no pens, papers, books, anything.
Amen Mazeppa and SFGall!!!!!!
It would be really interesting to have a gallery of Presidential makeovers, to see side-by-side photographs of each room from past administrations.
Can't wait to see what the Obamas do with the White House. I have a feeling Michelle has amazing taste.
Katrin, if you really dig around on the White House Museum site, you can see some of the major Presidential makeovers... but not, alas, all of them (unless I gave up too soon).
I really want to see more Eisenhower- and Carter-era photos, but those seem to be the most difficult to find.
SFGall, W is still trying to work out his opposable thumb. Hence, the lack of writing utensils on his desk.
Anyhoo, snarkiness aside, I agree - the rooms are so boring and provincial and what we'd expect from politicians and their kin. Oh, dear - I guess I hadn't put snarkiness aside after all...
I do love that kelly green color on the wall of the second photo, though. is it kelly?
Or, he doesn't use his desk. Reading and writing are so time consuming!
So much for "Leaving politics aside for the moment..." I don't think anybody took the hint.
I have always been astounded that anything in the White House is actually new---after every redecoration it still manages to look really old. Then again, in a place like that, could you really bring in anything modern? I imagine lots of artifacts are there to stay and have to be incorporated in the rooms.
Off topic on the White House but and interesting bit of trivia for New Yorkers about presidents: An optometrist in NY has an eyeglasses "museum" in his waiting room, with a personal letter from many former presidents and a pair of glasses they wore. It is fascinating to read the letters as they give a real flavor of the personality of each president. Soon W will be out of office and hopefully make his own contribution. I don't know where the office is, I went with my daughter for her check up a couple of summers ago.
I think that there is a sort of historical society that dictates what type of decor is appropriate and authorized in the White House. I think it's similar to the way the historical district of Savanna, GA operates. If you buy/live in a historical home, you have little say as to the way it actually looks.
It's pretty obvious that this was a photo shoot and didn't want any sort of paperwork on the desk - it has to look a certain way for the shoot ya know. Yes, everyone hates Bush but get over it. He's thankfully almost out of here. If all you can think of is the past 8 years when you look at that room, then I feel sorry for you.
The sofas in the Oval Office look like Barcaloungers. The room is WAY too beige and gold. And that radiating motif around the Great Seal on the rug makes me wonder whether the reference to the Sun King were intentional.
The pink bedroom is lovely. The green rug is WAY over the top.
I much preferred the colors during the West Wing administration...
Don't forget that virtually all the papers that a President deals with belong in locked cases when he's not working on them. There are industries in which having a messy desktop is not an option!
That doesn't explain why there isn't even a blotter and desk set, though. I'm assuming it was a styling decision, but it's not one I agree with.
You know that feeling you get when your car or home has been broken into ... I just got that feeling thinking about Bush in our Whitehouse ...
Hrmmm. Very texas-y with the color scheme and the dust ruffles on the couches.
I, too, liked the West Wing/Clinton oval office much better, with its stronger blues. And seriously?...dust ruffles on the couches? Welcoming to the world leaders to my grandmothers living room?
Neat link below.
Where on earth does he keep the keg and pretzels?
And why on earth did he not choke the first time?
Looks like the house of some rich, old, out-of-touch fuddy-duddy. In other words, very appropriate.
Oy, those old-lady sofas with skirts in the Oval Office... where was W's macho persona when those things were picked out?
The U.S. has produced some of Modernism's superstars... why isn't any of their work represented in the White House? It shouldn't be an 18th-Century mausoleum. Wouldn't it be cool to have some pieces by Eames, Bertoia, Eva Ziesel, Noguchi, etc., mixed in with the antiques? The look now is so fussy and uptight. Maybe Obama or his wife will inject some soul into the place, and help flush away the bad memories of the last 8 years.
The White House is protected by the National Historical society and has to adhere to certain rules about furniture and art. You will not see a Picasso or a Dali in there, just as you won't see an Eames chair. It's intentional that way.
The look in the WH is a little stuffy, but look who lives there?! They are old enough to be grandparents so think of it in that sense. Don't think for a second that Trading Spaces is going to get thier hands on this house and update it. Even if Obama or Hillary move in, the look won't change that much. Honestly, I don't want it to either. There are more important things going on than bitching about a duvet.
Inauguration days are ALWAYS a flurry of activity---nothing from the outgoing administration needs to leave the White House until then, and officially nothing from the incoming administration is allowed to enter the mansion until then. The rooms need to be set up for a seamless transfer of power, and so the new administration does not need to worry about settling in. This is how it's been for generations, so please don't ahistorically berate one family or another; it's just how this is done. Long live the republic (and yes, let's see how the Obamas brighten the place!).
seriously, what did you morons think it was going to look like, a Room and Board catalog?? the house was built in like 1802..it's SUPPOSED to look old...it was the same way when the Clintons or Carters or any other liberal administration was in there as it when a conservative president moves in.
I think that the third room is beatifully elegant (portrait of Jackie and all).
it's history...supposed to invoke some pride.
I have always thought the best looking historical homes look better with clean lines next to the older decorative details such as molding, etc. Not that I would put a bunch of mid-century modern in there, but something less busy would be nice. It would also accentuate the decorative elements like the molding, etc. I also hate most curtains so those would be the first things to go in exchange for something more diaphanous or no curtains at all.
What is that hideous red room? A theatre? It looks like the secret White House Bordello. VILE. Ain't no historical society gonna make me live with head-to-toe red velvet. There is such a thing as human rights. They may as well write "Belle Watling was here" on the wall.
"Morons" is a bit harsh....now Fords office looked really cool actually. Neat couches and color scheme...seems it can look old and nice. (though i doubt anyone was saying it shouldn't look old)
I've never been a fan of this early american style. However, I do find the third room to be much better than the others.
I particularly hate the valances they use on all the curtains...
It looks old because it's meant to look like an "old money" home -- all the furniture inherited from ancestors who came over with the Pilgrims or who at least made their money back during the Reconstruction. There's research -- I think it's in Home Psych -- about how it's the "new money" that went for modern trends. Weird but probably revealing of something...
Given that Obama owns an old house, I'm not sure I'd count on him for a sweeping modernization of the WH, any more than I'd expect him to take the inaugural oath in hipster-wear. The Presidency is more something that office-holders accessorize than fundamentally re-imagine.
Reminds me of this article http://www.theonion.com/content/node/30665
Dubya's chair looks like something from Office Depot...
...the sofas are the most dull things I've ever seen outside a Levitz...
...and what's with the big bush on the mantlepiece?
those side chairs are a dime a dozen on craigslist in my area
The red movie theater I believe was built by the Reagans and was used recently for The Super Bowl game. As for George W's uncluttered desk, I doubt if he used it, there are other rooms with desks in the Mansion he might have used. Looks like it was for show not for use. Most of the rooms shown are the public rooms and there is a committee that has to approve any changes made to them, they are in keeping with the historical nature of the house and I don't think there will ever be any modern touches made to them. The President and his family have their own quarters upstairs and they can decorate them any way they want. He can also redecorate the Oval Office to his own taste.

How Much Do You Know About Dog Bites?
What toddler doesn't love to pet a cute dog in the park? Unfortunately not all dogs want to reciprocate with a happy lick on the face. Some bite. How much do you know about dog bites? Take this quiz and find out!
Question 1 of 12
How many people are bitten each year by dogs in the US?
Select your answer below.
|1 million
4.5 million
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 4.5 million people in the US are bitten each year.
Learn More
Question 2 of 12
Although not all dog bites can be prevented, understanding man's best friend can significantly reduce the chance of your child being bitten.
Select your answer below.
The best protection against a dog bite is understanding a dog's behavior. Stefanie Schwartz, a veterinarian and veterinary behavior consultant practicing in South Weymouth, Massachusetts, says there are basically four reasons why dogs feel provoked to bite: dominance aggression, possessive aggression, irritability, and fear.
Learn More
Question 3 of 12
The most common reason a dog bites is:
Select your answer below.
|Basic temperament
Dominance aggression
Dominance aggression is the most common reason for a dog to bite. "Most often it is because of dominance aggression," says Schwartz. "For example, a child who spontaneously hugs or climbs onto a dog is unknowingly challenging the dog's social rank."
Learn More
Question 4 of 12
Possessive aggression could occur if a toddler takes the dog's favorite toy.
Select your answer below.
Another trigger is possessive aggression, and this comes into play when a child disturbs a dog that is enjoying a meal, treat, or favorite toy.
Learn More
Question 5 of 12
Two other triggers that can cause a dog to bit include:
Select your answer below.
|Over-stimulation and exhaustion
Fear and irritability
Irritability and fear can trigger a dog to bite. Irritable aggression can occur if a dog is disturbed while sleeping or ill. Fear aggression occurs when a dog is startled.
Learn More
|Loneliness and sadness
Question 6 of 12
A dog will usually not give a warning before biting.
Select your answer below.
Most dogs will give a warning when they are agitated. Some also will show warning signs using body language. According to Schwartz, dogs will give a low growl, flatten their ears or curl their lips. However, warnings can be very subtle and brief.
Learn More
Question 7 of 12
Toddlers should be taught to run if threatened by a dog.
Select your answer below.
The CDC says children should be taught to remain motionless ("be still like a tree") when approached by an unfamiliar dog. If knocked over by a dog, children should roll into a ball and lie still ("be still like a log").
Learn More
Question 8 of 12
Which of the following rules should be instilled in a child at a young age about interacting with dogs?
Select your answer below.
|Before petting a dog, always ask the owner for permission.
|Never pet a dog who is eating, sleeping, or playing with a toy.
|To pet a dog, approach slowly and speak softly. Avoid direct eye contact. Let the dog sniff the back of your hand. Pet gently on his back or sides.
All of the above.
Children should be taught to always ask before petting a strange dog; never to pet a dog that is eating, sleeping, or playing with a toy; and to approach slowly, speaking softly, avoid direct eye contact, allow the dog to sniff their hand, and then gently pet the dog's sides or back.
Learn More
Question 9 of 12
Training won't help a puppy learn not to bite— it's just instinctive and based on breed.
Select your answer below.
Training a puppy to socialize with adults and children is crucial and will go a long way in preventing a dog from biting someone. "Dogs are most sensitive to forming lasting impressions of people and other dogs between the ages of 6 to 13 weeks," says Schwartz.
Learn More
Question 10 of 12
Teaching a puppy not to jump on people can help reduce the risk of biting.
Select your answer below.
Another important lesson to teach a puppy is not to jump on anyone, even if the puppy is just being playful. According to Schwartz, jumping is a very dominant way for a dog to say "hello." Instead, the puppy should be taught to sit and stay when meeting someone. With consistent and proper training, a puppy can be trained to interact and enjoy those who come into contact with him, which can reduce the risk of the dog biting.
Learn More
Question 11 of 12
Spayed and neutered dogs are less likely to bite.
Select your answer below.
According to The Humane Society, spaying or neutering your dog will reduce the dog's desire to roam and fight other dogs, which makes them less likely to bite.
Learn More
Question 12 of 12
Stitches are always recommended if a child is bitten by a dog.
Select your answer below.
According to Dr. Raymond Pitetti, associate director of emergency medicine at Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, dog bites generally shouldn't be stitched if it can be avoided, as the risk of infection increases dramatically when the wound is closed. "The two exceptions to this are large lacerations that impede and lacerations to the face," says Dr. Pitetti. "The latter is a matter of cosmetics. We will close lacerations to the face."
