"I want eight crapshooters for my pallbearers, let 'em all be dressed down in black.
I want nine men going to the graveyard, but only eight mens coming back.
I want a gang of gamblers gathered around my coffin side, with a crooked card printed on my hearse.
Don't say that crapshooters will never grieve over me, my life's been a doggone curse."
— Blind Willie McTell, "Dying Crapshooter's Blues"
Take a walk over to the corner of Luckie and Cone streets in downtown Atlanta and you won't find much today, just a parking lot, a parking garage and a convenience store. Back in 1940, when the Tabernacle down on Luckie Street was still the Third Baptist Church, John and Ruby Lomax were staying at the Robert Fulton Hotel, a hulking mass of red brick that towered over that street corner.
Late one afternoon during their stay, Ruby noticed a blind black man playing a 12-string for change in front of a Pig'n Whistle barbecue stand on Ponce de Leon Avenue. He accepted their invitation to record a few songs for the Library of Congress archive, on the condition that he was paid a dollar plus cab fare. In his notes about the day, Lomax would write, "He sang some interesting blues. His guitar picking was excellent. ... He shuffled away from me across a busy street in the downtown district. I watched him until he was out of sight."
The blind man drank a lot of corn whiskey over the next couple of decades, playing songs for change at barbecue joints and in alleyways. He recorded a few more times but never made any money from it. Sitting beside a tree in Milledgeville while eating barbecue, he suffered a fatal stroke. On a Sunday morning in August 1959, he was buried under a gravestone with the wrong name not far from where he was born in Thompson, Ga. None of his recordings were in print. Nobody really noticed.
About a decade later in 1971, the same year the Robert Fulton Hotel was leveled to the ground, the Allman Brothers opened a sold-out concert at the Fillmore East with a song called "Statesboro Blues," written by a blind black man from Georgia that nobody knew much about. His name was Blind Willie McTell.
Ten years before Blind Willie died, Michael Gray was born across the ocean in the small town of Bromborough, England. He's made his living writing about music, most notably the massive Bob Dylan Encyclopedia and Song and Dance Man III: The Art of Bob Dylan. In 1998, Gray first traveled from his home in France to Thompson, looking for traces of McTell and his family. "He called to me as a beguiling character in a mysterious setting. What little was known about him drew me in to the backwoods of rural Georgia," he writes in the introduction to Hand Me My Travelin' Shoes: In Search of Blind Willie McTell. After years of research, bus riding, and door knocking, Gray has written the definitive book on McTell.
Hand Me My Traveling Shoes is nothing if not bewilderingly comprehensive. Gray spends the first 100 pages or so tracking down genealogical details and historical context before even getting around to McTell's birth. Gray documents his "story of getting the story" with an outsider's eye for details, often in awe of the South as much as he finds himself frustrated with it. The proliferation of fast food along country roads is particularly hard for him. "The very idea of dinner as a real meal, naturally accompanied by glasses of wine — this fundamental pleasure, this daily benefit of civilisation — seems utterly absent from North American consciousness outside of the cities, as if they've had a social and culinary lobotomy and haven't noticed."
When he isn't complaining, though, Gray has a knack for drawing history out of the dust. McTell's genealogy is traced back to Warren County in the 18th century. Working forward from McTell's white great-grandfather, Kendall McTyeire, Gray weaves a well-spun history of slavery, civil war, reconstruction, and lynching to give a context to the "time and place, the world, into which Willie McTell was born."
As it turns out, McTell's life doesn't reflect the stories often told about blues musicians. "He didn't lose his sight in a jook-joint brawl, or hopping a freight train. He didn't escape into music from behind a mule plow in the Delta. He didn't die violently or young," Gray writes.
McTell was born blind, possibly because of congenital syphilis contracted from his mother, Minnie. By all accounts, he never let that disability restrict his movement. Lomax writes of their car ride to the Robert Fulton Hotel, "Chatting all the while with me, Blind Willie called every turn, even mentioning the location of the stop lights. He gave the names of buildings as we passed them. Stored in his mind was an accurate, detailed photograph of Atlanta."
A wealthy Statesboro benefactor paid for him to attend the Georgia Academy for the Blind in Macon, where he was introduced to a formal music education. Sister Fleet Mae Echols attended the academy at the same time as McTell and says that he was "very smart," even that "He was a real mathematician. He could do it."
After his formal schooling, McTell went on to record a wealth of records in the blues heyday, cutting 78s for Decca, Victor and Vocalion, among others. One record, "Statesboro Blues," was a minor success, selling a little more than 4,000 copies in its time. The Allman Brothers' 1971 live album that opens with "Statesboro Blues," At Fillmore East, sold more than a million copies in one year.
McTell probably didn't expect that he would inspire a band of acid-dropping Southern longhairs, or that Bob Dylan would claim his greatness — "No one can sing the blues like Blind Willie McTell" — in a song written 30 years after his death. In 1956, Ed Rhodes found him singing pop songs to teenagers out behind the Blue Lantern Club, where the Local bar stands today. Rhodes, who ran a record store on the corner of 13th and Peachtree streets, tried for weeks to convince him to record a few songs at his store. After McTell finally agreed and played a short session for him, he asked to hear the tape. "I don't want this ever published while I'm alive," he said, "'cause if I did ever get any money for it, I would just drink myself to death." It was the last recording Blind Willie McTell would ever cut. Rhodes drove him home to his place underneath the Dixie Dancehall. He never saw Blind Willie McTell again.

Approach involves engineering patients' hematopoietic cells for treating beta thalassemia, sickle cell anemia, and CCALD.[AlienForce-Fotolia.com]
Bluebird bio (formerly Genetix Pharmaceuticals) raised $30 million through a financing round with new investor Arch Venture Partners and existing investors. The firm says the funds will provide it with the financial stability to continue developing its clinical gene-therapy pipeline and invest in new product development and platform capabilities.
Just last month Bluebird was awarded an initial $1.4 million from the French Muscular Dystrophy Association (AFM) to support clinical development of its LentiGlobin® candidate for beta-thalassemia and sickle cell anemia. As part of the AFM deal Bluebird also has the option to draw on an additional amount of up to $2.8 million in credit toward the cost of cGMP manufacturing of clinical trials material by its manufacturing partner Généthon.
Bluebird is focused on the development of gene therapies for severe genetic disorders. The company's technology platform is based on the genetic correction of bone marrow stem cells harvested from the patient, and then reimplantation of the modified cells back into the patient. The platform is being applied to single gene diseases that are currently treatable by allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Bluebird says that correcting the patient's own cells could feasibly enable treatment of the 80% or more of patients who don't have a matched related donor.
The firm has two clinical-stage stage products in development: for childhood cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (CCALD) and beta-thalassemia/sickle cell anemia. Its lead LentiGlobin® therapy is currently in Phase I/II trials for the treatment of beta thalassemia and sickle cell anemia. The approach involves engineering the patient's own hematopoietic stem cells to express a fully functional human beta-globin gene, under the control of the beta-globin promoter and locus control regions. Results from a single LentiGlobin-treated beta-thalassemic patient in the Phase I/II trial were published in September last year. The young adult patient had been transfusion-dependent since early childhood, but after therapy with LentiGlobin became transfusion-independent for at least 21 months.
Bluebird's CCALD gene therapy has undergone initial pilot testing. Data from a small-scale trial confirmed that two CCALD patients treated using the firm's gene-therapy had stable disease at three years, and continued to express the CCALD protein in a percentage of monocytes. The firm says it plans to start larger clinical studies in CCALD in both the U.S. and Europe during 2011.

ASUS just wrapped up its press conference at CES, with two new phones for us to talk about. To kick it off, the company announced the followup to last year's Zenfone, appropriately named, the Zenfone 2. The device, in terms of specs, is better in almost every way than what we saw last year, featuring a 5.5″ Full HD IPS display, 13MP rear-facing camera, and a 2.3GHz 64-bit Intel Atom processor with 4GB of RAM.

Live: ASUS' CES 2015 Press Event!
ASUS is up next at the official press day of the 2015 CES. Well, they host their own satellite event, so it may not be an official event, yet it's somehow included. Anyways, we will be there on hand, but it looks like they are planning to live stream the happenings, just like they did last year.
Will we get new Zenfones? What kind of camera tricks does ASUS have up their sleeves? Will any of it arrive in the US? I guess we will find out soon enough.
The event kicks off at 11AM Pacific (2PM Eastern). Once they post a live stream, we will add it below. (more…)

CES 2015 Starts Sunday: A Quick Preview
CES 2015 starts on Sunday. Seems a little crazy that it's back already, I know, but that's what we get during the second week of every new year – a trip to Las Vegas. As you can imagine, we are headed into the desert once again to see what major electronics manufacturers have in store, even if there is very little focus on mobile or Android these days. The show is still a big enough deal that we need to at least show up to find out.
Keep in mind that the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) isn't what it was four or five years ago. There was a time that it was a really big deal for mobile enthusiasts. It once was a show where new flagship phones were announced from all of the big players, but those show up less and less anymore. Now, we typically get one from Sony, maybe another from LG, and that's about it. There are wearables and tablets galore, most of which are terrible products from companies you have never heard of that you would never buy, but they have their moment in the news cycle.
Media outlets put up big stages, try to tell you that this week is going to be "Huge!" and that you must tune into their ridiculously over-the-top coverage because it will be the best CES yet, but they are lying. CES is mostly boring these days. Well, unless you like TVs and the technology that goes into cars. Yes, TVs and automobiles now dominate CES. (more…)

We stayed at the Langham in Jan 2011 unfortunately only for 2 nights as we were moving on to our next destination. When we arrived the member of staff on reception was excellent, making sure we knew where everything was and that Australia day was the follwing day and giving us info to what was going on.
Our room looked out over the Yarra river and the city which was an excellent view especially as it came alive in the evening with the lights etc. The room and the bathroom were very large and had everything you could require. As i said in my title it had the most comfotabe, bed EVER!!! and made the stay extra special.
You got the usual 5* bits complimentary newspaper was a must have, unfortunately there was no wifi in the room but this was not really an issue but something you would maybe expect.
It is in a very good location with the Southbank shopping centre just below it, which had an array of shops and a huge food area serving anything from Nando's to Chinese. Federation square was a 10 minute walk over the river and right out of the train station . There is an excellent tourist centre their offering wifi internet and great advice for anything you wanted to do.
I would definetelty recommend this hotel as the place to stay when in Melbourne!!!!!!!!

Sunday morning winds approaching a Category 1 hurricane blasted through our area. We only had 60 mph winds and minimal damage. Others were not so lucky. Here's a few pictures of our damage.
Leaves everywhere. The winds came from almost around the compass at some time that morning. Most leaves and branches seemed to blown east, but most field damage was from the north.
The corn in the garden and fields was all tilted south. The potatoes that had spread completely across the rows were now plastered into a compact pile.
These branches had been blown north. Not a single tree was without damage, mostly minor.
Around the area there were trees on cars, campers and houses. Campers and trailers were blown over and building roofs were pealed off, Yep, we were lucky.

Knee high by the 4th of July used to be a target for corn growth. If you made that mark you were on your way to a good harvest. Back when that saying was minted they planted corn much later than we do now. Twice in my life I've seen corn over my head and tassels forming.
Corn in our area of southwestern Minnesota is now mostly knee high. I say mostly because there are places where it is not. It could be the tillage system, weed pressure, poor soil or cool temperatures that have kept if from growing as fast as the rest, but some areas just are not doing as well.
We plant our corn in two different systems. Corn planted on soybean stubble is strip tilled, a process that leaves plenty of soybeans stubble on the ground to protect from wind and rain erosion. Some of the fertilizer is placed in the tilled strips in the fall, the rest is applied after the corn comes up. Corn planted after corn is more of the conventional style where more tillage is done in the fall. This tillage allows us to mix in hog manure for fertilizer. About half of our corn ground gets covered with that wonderful, inexpensive, organic fertilizer.
Our spring started out warm and dry, but just as we got done planting the weather changed. It got cool and wet. We've now worked our way out of the drought conditions we had. Although we do not have water standing in the fields, and all our soybeans got planted, we have still been a bit wetter than we would like at this time of year.
The soybeans are off to a good start. Weed control is our main challenge right now in soybeans. Because they do not shade the ground as fast as corn we have a longer window of concern for weed control. Early weeds have been taken care of, but soon we'll have to knock them back again to be sure they stay only a minor annoyance.
So, here we are, June is half over and things are looking good here on our farm. We had more rain last night to keep those plants happy, now we need some heat.
Filed under: food, gluten | Tags: book review, fad diets, Food, gluten, religion, The Gluten Lie
I often read book reviews but do not often find time to read the books they talk about. Because of all the fad talk about gluten in diets and my mom's celiac this one caught more than the usual interest.
Author Alan Levinovitz is a religious studies professor who has been dismayed by the proliferation of gluten free everything. The book is not really all about gluten, but more about our demonizing of foods. There have been times when MSG, fat, salt, sugar and eggs have all been held forth as bad for us, today it is gluten and GMO's. Basically this book is a exposure of the shame based diet fads we see everyday. His contention is that we feel better on these diets, not because we are actually eating or not eating something, but because we think we should feel better. Fad diets become a religion.
The basic contention, and I think it is a valid one, is that the power of belief, not the diet, creates the benefit. The intersection of faith and food is powerful stuff. If you are sold the belief with the religious zeal of a true believer, no matter what the truth is, you will get better. For those of us in science, this is irrational.
I've watched the changes in food fads for most of my life. I've lived long enough to see many of them go full circle, from bad for you, to good for you and back to bad for you. The truth of the matter is that for most people the mantra of "all things in moderation" is the best path. Getting caught up in the latest fad diet is worse for you than choosing to eat sensibly.
I've never been much of one for fads. Once I got past my teens they have not meant much to me. I find more than a grain of truth in The Gluten Lie. I think you will too.

A farmers life is dependent on outside forces. Weather being chief among them. My long suffering wife, who grew up in the city, knows this. She has come to accept that you do not schedule things of importance without checking on weather reports.
A key time in a couples life are anniversaries. Our 36th one was typical. The weather was great, I had weeds that needed to be killed. We spent our anniversary apart. That's the way things go on the farm.
The weather does allow for some serendipity. Those rainy days may mean an unexpected day doing things we both enjoy when no one could have predicted them. You have to be flexible and ready to do the unexpected. A wet period this spring allowed me to get some projects done for our daughter and family during what should have been planting season. I got to build, she got to paint, we were both happy. Planting was going to wait anyway.
So yes, today is my birthday, what is on the agenda for today? The weather only knows. That's life on the farm.
Well, yesterday's blog shows just how hard it is to predict the weather. We were forecast to get inches and got just a few tenths of rain. All of the heavy stuff moved east and south. Now it's not as if we really needed more rain, we're doing very well on that front, thank you. It's just that those folks east and south of us are already under flood conditions. Oh well.
There has been a steady drip here. It's just wet enough that being outside means you get wet. Try to wear a jacket to keep off the rain and your sweat makes you just as wet as if you had not worn a jacket. Really soggy out there.
So the moral of the story, If the weatherman says it is going to do something, it will usually do something else. What a job.
It is rare that the National Weather Service is this adamant that we are going to get wet, not only wet, but lots of water. For several days now they have us as 100% chance of getting rain starting tonight and rain for 24 hours after that. Then they tell us it could be as much as an inch and a half an hour. Yep, we are going to get wet.
That forecast means a bit more of hurry in our step. Things have to be done "now." Since we have moved into a wet pattern "now" can be hard to do at times. Wet fields do not lend themselves to getting things done "now," they tend to get our equipment stuck. Still the spraying did get done today, and most of the hay we had cut did get baled, so let the rain come.
There are still things to do, but they will wait. This weeks "now" is past. We'll get going on next weeks items as soon as it dries up a bit.
After over 60 years on the farm you would think some of the decisions would be easier, but they still are not.
Our current herd of farm cats has expanded again. Our southwest Minnesota farm has always had trouble keeping farm cats. That is why I really do not do anything to control them. Nature always will thin them down over time. There has been many a spring when we have only one or none left. This spring we have four, "Mama Z" and three of her four kittens from last year. Two of them are female.
Farm cats are essential. They keep little rodents on the move and thin out the un-wary or sick. Only the fittest survive in the wild, semi domesticated world in which they live.
Mama Z had her litter earlier this spring and last I saw, her four were healthy and growing well. They were born in an old chicken nest and kept there until they could move around well. Since she moved them under the wood pile I have only seen one kitten, so I have no idea how many are left. Some day they will emerge and then I will learn how many have survived.
During last nights rain our two young mothers had their kittens, five each. The problem is they decided to have them in a corner right next to the house. There are several out buildings they could have had them in, all protected and dry, but no, they were out in the open.
This is a problem. First off, five kittens for any young mother is too many, even if they are in good health. If they are born in a protected place it is easier for them all to survive. By the time I found them, half the kittens were either dead, or barely alive. One of the young mothers was showing the sense needed to protect her babies. Her five were cleaned and protected by her body. The others were not.
It always distresses me to have to make these decisions on life or death, but it had to be done. The poor little dead bodies were cleaned up and the protective mother and her kittens were placed in a box and moved to the old chicken house. Our other mother may or may not have another litter this summer. She will be lonely for a while, but must mature more if she wishes to keep her brood. Life is never easy when you are small and vulnerable.

Experiential Learning
Experience is the key to success in any endeavor.
Implementing theory into practice is how you'll grow as a professional and leader. Every student in the Finance Career Academy will experience at least two semester-length consulting projects. Read on for details.
Henry Fund: Real Money, Real Decisions
In the second semester, after a rigorous selection process, selected students become analysts in the Henry Fund, an endowed equity portfolio. Each analyst researches real companies and makes investment decisions for an equity fund. The group seeks to achieve the highest level of return while maintaining a risk profile similar to the S&P 500 index. Henry Fund is a two-semester experience that you'll experience in place of the two projects described below.
Business Consulting Project—Year One
For the students not participating in the Henry Fund, your first consulting project is 16 weeks in length and facilitated by the Business Solutions Center (BSC). As part of a cross-functional team with your classmates, you'll cooperate with company execs, faculty, and BSC directors to deliver the final product. This is your first experience as an actual expert consultant, applying your technical skills to real business problems.
Hands-on Academy Project—Year Two
Solving Real Business Issues for Real Clients
Finance students not participating in the Henry Fund execute a hands-on consulting project managed by the Finance Career Academy. Distinctly different from the first-year project, the hands-on project hones your financial expertise. This Finance Career Academy project is a definite resume builder and another opportunity to face real financial issues in the real world. Experiential learning is an invaluable component of your professional development and career preparation.
The University of Iowa's Utilities and Energy Management group knows its role is "mission critical" to the university. They provide water, electricity, steam, heating, and cooling to a major research university and hospital. It's also critical to risk management; losing power, even for a short period of time, could be catastrophic.
Are the costly utilities an efficient investment? How much are the utilities worth to the university? How much should be invested to manage the risk of power outages? A team of MBA students performed an analysis and found that the basic utilities operations do create value for the university. But the real value lies in risk management.

23... Bf6 was the only move. Be7 lead to all problems. As you said earlier you missed the plan behind Qd2
....Thanx sir ....
I never like playing h6 if my king is castled there. Causes too many problems later in the game, esp when opponent has both bishops in action.
Also on move 15, I wouldn't have taken the pawn either, means you ended up with 3 pawn islands, making them difficult to defend.
And as said above, Be7 didn't help ;)
21... Ng5 to me appears weak
If instead you played 21... Nc5 I think your position would have held together a bit better
He just hit you with a brutal combination after that
After 27 Qxh6 the game is lost recovery is impossible
I would say your opening was fine(taking space with 11..d4 may have been good, to answer 12.Ng5 with Bd5 and if 12.b4 perhaps the knight can come from f6-d5-c3) but then you failed to come up with a reasonable plan. You are right allowing Ng5xe6 was a big decision, although it strengthens your centre slightly I would say it was a bit dubious because his unopposed white squared bishop became very strong. The open file you gain is pretty unimportant as your other pieces aren't placed for any attack. So perhaps 11..h6 as you suggested.
After allowing this exchange I guess your plan should be to advance your centre pawns. So unpinning with 14..Qd6 may be a start. Kh8, Nh7 etc don't seem to be part of any coherent plan and led you into a passive position. My advice would be to find some games with a similar opening by strong players and look how they handled the position just after the opening.
Thanx alot...

Is it an animal with an engine? Or is it a machine with floppy ears and a wet nose?
"With the eye of a Renaissance painter and the early Dr. Seuss, Graeme Base is not your basic children's book author." -People magazine
Graeme Base-whose picture books have sold millions of copies worldwide-has turned his creative talents to writing fiction. He and Molly, his Labrador friend and collaborator on this project, have written a dog story of epic proportions.
In a far-off desert world, evolution has taken an unexpected turn. The dominant life form is a creature covered in fur with steel panels beneath. It gnaws on bones and sniffs lampposts but fills up on oil, brake fluid, and petrol to keep running. And it's wonderfully clever with its wheels and side-view mirrors-able to do just about anything, in fact-which is lucky since it doesn't have arms or legs. It's an animal with an engine. Or is it a machine with floppy ears and a wet nose? Either way, it's known as a TruckDog. And this is the story of how the world of TruckDogs was saved by a most young and unlikely hero.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Beloved Australian author and illustrator Graeme Base of Animalia, and Eleventh Hour fame tries his hand at writing something longer--"a novel in four bites"--but with mixed results.
Set in the imaginary outback world of the TruckDog (a wild evolutionary hybrid that's either "an animal with an engine" or "a car with floppy ears and a wet nose"), Base's story starts out promisingly weird, but then promptly chases its tail in overcomplicated exposition and character development. Kids will probably take to the notion of a fuel-tanker dachshund or a drag-racer greyhound initially (they'll certainly pore over the 16 full-color plates illustrating various TruckDog "breeds"), but that attention will likely fade one-hundred pages into the convoluted and prosaic story about a town that needs to focus its bored, boisterous youth to fight off a gang of bandits.
Kids will likely love TruckDogs's rough-and-tumble descriptions, "Behind them stood a huge, snorting beast, solid muscle and steel, cruelly curved horns mounted above massive bony fenders: the TruckRam from hell." However, don't be surprised if disinterested young readers go tearing off mid-story to concoct TruckDog dramas of their own. (Ages 9 to 12) --Paul HughesAbout the Author:
Graeme Base lives in Melbourne, Australia, with his wife, Robyn, and their three children. Molly, his Labrador friend, lives with them, too. They spend a lot of time roaming through the Australian outback, a terrain remarkably similar to the setting of this book. He is the author of the bestsellers Animalia and The Water Hole.

Supreme Kai (position)
Redirected from Supreme Kai (race)
this wiki
The Supreme Kai (界王神, Kaiōshin; lit. "World King God"), also called God of Creation (創造神, Sōzōshin; lit. "Creation God"),[1] are the Core People who have the ultimate duty to protect the universe of their position. They possess godly powers and live on their respective planets in the Other World. They far outclass the regular Kai as while the lower Kai watch over the living world, the Supreme Kais watch over both the Other World and the living world.[2]
The Kai and Supreme Kai seem to be based on the deities who watch over the cardinal directions in Hindu scriptures (guardians of the directions) and Buddhist faith (Four Heavenly Kings). There are generally four main guardians, sometimes eight, with two additional guardians who govern and protect space, for a total of ten gods (like the Kai and Supreme Kai).
All of the Supreme Kai were originally born on the World Core as Core People. When a World Tree grows an incredibly rare golden fruit, this means that a Supreme Kai will be born.[3] If one of the Supreme Kai was to die in an accident, then the currently-inactive Supreme Kai would grow in the Sacred World of the Kai like a plant.[4] Unlike the normal Core People, who can possibly become normal Kai, the Core People born from the special gold fruit have far more power and longer lifespans, well over 75 million years compared to the average average member of their race, whose lifespans is around 75,000 years.[3]
Protectors of the universe
The Supreme Kai once ruled over the entire universe (Other World and living world), with the Grand Supreme Kai overseeing them (the same way that the regular Kai rule over their individual quadrants of the living world, with a Grand Kai in charge of the four of them). They are the Gods of Creation who provide the catalyst for life and planets to be born, as opposed to the Gods of Destruction who destroy life and planets, which maintains the balance of the universe. Supreme Kai are able to provide the impetus for planets to be born; also, they will sometimes divide up one planet and increase the number of planets. They even do things like create life-forms, or transplant them from another planet, but their basic job is to watch over the numerous planets.[1] Because the number of planets is so very large, the four regular Kai help them out as well. The Supreme Kais intervene if it appears that the world's balance will crumble, but normally, they merely act in an advisory role for new life-forms, and do not get involved.[1] The Supreme Kais and the Gods of Destruction go to each other's realms and hold a coordination meeting once every 1,000 years.[4] During one of these meetings, held roughly 75 Million Before Age, they got into an argument over some trifling thing and the short-tempered God of Destruction Beerus sealed Old Kai away inside the Z Sword, as it would not have been proper for him to destroy the Sacred World of the Kais itself.[4]
In addition to the Supreme Kai that watch over the Universe from the Sacred World of the Kai, there is also the Supreme Kai of Time that watches over time and space for the Time Nest, with the important role of protecting the history of the Universe, a position she obtained after raising the bird Tokitoki (which has the power to create time) into an adult.[5]
East Supreme Kai states that each of the Supreme Kai were a thousand times more powerful than Frieza. But all except for him were killed (Elder Kai and the Supreme Kai of Time also survived the incident as well due to Elder Kai being trapped in the Z-Sword and the Supreme Kai of Time survived due to her living in the Time Nest) or absorbed by Majin Buu in 5 Million Before Age, resulting in the mindless killing machine seen in the first two forms of Buu being "tamed" into becoming the innocuous fat Majin Buu first shown in the series.[6]
Like the regular Kai, the Supreme Kai are among the few living residents in Other World. However, they can still die, though this does not affect them much, as they are already in Other World. Being heavenly deities, they usually retain their bodies after death and receive halos but are not forced to visit King Yemma; this is likely due to the supremacy they have over the giant ogre.

- The Kai seem to be based on the guardians of the direction from Hindu scriptures. There are generally four main guardians, with an additional six, who govern and protect space. The Supreme Kai are based on the guardians Isana (northeast), Agni (southeast), Vayu (northwest) and Nirrti (southwest), with Grand Supreme Kai being derived from Vishnu (nadir).

This is a charming book. It's almost a collection of short stories with many chapters being a self-contained event. Still, through these pages, we get a good picture of life on the American frontier 130 years ago. The book gives plenty of detail about their everyday life without getting bogged down. And it is interesting. Frankly, some of the chapters are so harrowing I felt my pulse quicken. Often I found myself shaking my head in awe at what the Ingalls dealt with on a daily basis. This is a good way to make anyone appreciate just what we have today.
These books are still popular 70 years after they were first written for good reason. They are an entertaining and enlightening look at a bygone era.
Those were the things I loved about it as a child, and still love now. But as an adult I've also come to appreciate how quintessentially American this book is. It's the kind of book that makes you think about our heritage, and makes you proud to be American. In these books, Laura and her family keep facing hardships and meeting them head on. When necessary, they pick themselves up and move on to a new place, starting from scratch. They don't expect anything from anybody, and yet they care about their community and their neighbors. You often hear the words "pioneer spirit" used to describe America's best values, but after you read Little House that's not an empty phrase. You, and the child you read it to, understand it in your heart.
Laura Wilder had an amazing gift to tell stories and to make an accurate picture of the time she grew up in and of what she thought and felt as a girl. This is not like the show in many respects though. If you only want to read about the exact characters and stories from the show, this may surprise you. Mr. Edwards is not in here much and you won't see characters like Albert or Mr. Oleson in this book. As they live on the prairie, there is no school or store, only a few neighbors a few miles away. Also Indians which only actually show up now and then.
Again it is a story about hard work and family sticking together. Superior to the first book in that you already know alot of the mundane [though very interesting]details of their daily life, and the characters. Now it is full of story. The interactions with wild life alone are astounding as taken for fact. They are not just the amusing tid bits from the first book, but quite dangerous and spellbinding ones.
Fantastic book for anybody. The whole series is great.

Hi NMW2008,
I don't know why it seems like you can go a couple of months without a SW alert, then post about it here on the Feedback board, and mysteriously an alert is generated. Believe me, this phenomenon is purely coincidental, and not the result of someone at myFICO reading about it and shooting out an alert.
That said, it appears you were sent a score change alert on March 3rd. As a reminder, be sure to re-set your target score to the one you just received.
