Summary: Major fimbrial subunit protein (FimA)
Pfam includes annotations and additional family information from a range of different sources. These sources can be accessed via the tabs below.
The Pfam group coordinates the annotation of Pfam families in Wikipedia, but we have not yet assigned a Wikipedia article to this family. If you think that a particular Wikipedia article provides good annotation, please let us know.
This tab holds the annotation information that is stored in the Pfam database. As we move to using Wikipedia as our main source of annotation, the contents of this tab will be gradually replaced by the Wikipedia tab.
Major fimbrial subunit protein (FimA) Provide feedback
This family consists of several Porphyromonas gingivalis major fimbrial subunit protein (FimA) sequences. Fimbriae of Porphyromonas gingivalis, a periodontopathogen, play an important role in its adhesion to and invasion of host cells. The fimA genes encoding fimbrillin (FimA), a subunit protein of fimbriae, have been classified into five types, types I to V, based on nucleotide sequences. It has been found that type II FimA can bind to epithelial cells most efficiently through specific host receptors [1]. Human dental plaque is a multispecies microbial biofilm that is associated with two common oral diseases, dental caries and periodontal disease. There is an inter-species contact-dependent communication system between P. gingivalis and S. cristatus that involces the Arc-A enzyme [2].

This entry represents the N-terminal of the major fimbrial subunit protein (FimA). FimA is the structural subunit of the fimbriae, which are filamentous appendages on the cell surface. Fimbriae of P.gingivalis are recognied as a major virulence factor as they mediate cell adhesion and play an important role in invasion of periodontal tissues [PUBMED:17081195].

Top 5 restaurants in Malaysia
SINGAPORE (Reuters Life!) - The Miele Guide to Asia's finest restaurants is written by food experts who know and love the region (www.mieleguide.com).
This is a list of the top 5 restaurants in Malaysia, where eating out is a national pastime and there is something to be had at every street corner. It is not endorsed by Reuters.
1. Sage Restaurant & Wine Bar
When Cilantro, Kuala Lumpur's much revered fine dining restaurant, closed last year, chef Takashi Kimura and his team migrated en masse to helm Sage's kitchen where they've created a marriage of Japanese and French nouvelle cuisines. This is evident in dishes like vichyssoise of artichokes and the aged Angus beef a la plancha. The sleek restaurant also boasts a cigar room for diners to unwind in, perhaps with a bottle of wine chosen from its well-stocked cellar.

The possibility of overdosage with floxuridine is unlikely in view of the mode of administration. Nevertheless, the anticipated manifestations would be nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, gastrointestinal ulceration and bleeding, bone marrow depression (including thrombocytopenia, leukopenia and agranulocytosis). No specific antidotal therapy exists. Patients who have been exposed to an overdosage of floxuridine should be monitored hematologically for at least 4 weeks. Should abnormalities appear, appropriate therapy should be utilized. The acute intravenous toxicity of floxuridine is as follows:
Species | LD50 (mg/kg ± S.E.) |
Mouse | 880 ± 51 |
Rat | 670 ± 73 |
Rabbit | 94 ± 19.6 |
Dog | 157 ± 46 |
Floxuridine therapy is contraindicated for patients in a poor nutritional state, those with depressed bone marrow function or those with potentially serious infections.

Love Actually And My Changeup
Closing pitcher Huston Street has a habit of keeping the final out ball when he converts a save. Seth Smith was unaware of this as he haphazardly tossed a ball to some fans. Street was downtrodden, but with the aid of technology and social networking a call when out in hopes of retrieving the ball. The fans came forth and were more than willing to give Street the ball. This act of selflessness apparently got to Street as he didn't take the ball, but rather autographed it and gave to the fans.
I like to think most of us felt some happiness when we hear a story like that. The idea of someone doing something that benefits another more than it benefits themselves is an idea that keeps the world from feeling like a cold heartless place. At least that's how I feel.
However, if this is true then why does a film like Love Actually, which glorifies selfish behavior and shows the selfless being shit on, tend to make me happy?
Maybe you're asking what kind of selfish behavior Love Actually is promoting. Well, let's start with Colin Firth. Sure he learns Portuguese to win the heart of some dame, but that was just as much for him as it was for her. The real evidence is when he shows up at his family's flat for Christmas and just decides he has to leave. Based on the cries of, "I hate uncle Jamie," pouring out of the mouths of his nieces and nephews, it seems as though his presence at this holiday celebration was important, at least to these children. And he just doesn't give a shit.
So what happens when he disregards the feelings of his family? He gets engaged to a beautiful woman. The lesson here is ditch your family on holidays for a chance, not even a sure thing, with the opposite sex.
This lesson is also emphasized by Hugh Grant when he doesn't attend the Christmas play to see his sister's kids, but to make out with the chick he fired. He even put off Prime Minister duties in order to pursue this chick. Though in all fairness she is really adorable.
Then there's "Colin: God of Sex." This guy breaks all ties he has. Basically flipping the bird to anyone who gives a shit about him and heads to America on a hunch that his accent will get him laid.
How's he rewarded? With sex that not even a pornographer would believe.
What have we learned so far? Be selfish and you can bang hot ladies. It's not just the sheer amount of selfish acts and their amazing pay offs. But there are those who act selflessly and thusly get shit.
Emma Thompson does nothing but give and give for her family and in return her husband gets her a Joni Mitchell CD while his secretary receives a very lovely necklace. Then she doesn't even make a scene. She calmly broaches the issue with him in a way that makes her seem kind of like a badass. Despite the badassery of it, it still sucks as she was genuinely in love her husband and got nothing for her work and torment.
Then there's the guy who is in love with Keira Knightley who is marrying his best friend. He only wants happiness for his best friend and the woman he's in love with, which means he has to suffer silently. He's left alone with a weird stalker-esq wedding video, knowing there will be social situations where he has no choice but to bottle his feelings, until eventually they are let out in a way reminiscent of some Bob Dylan video.
Speaking of which, what would he have done if it wasn't Keira Knightley answering the door but rather his friend? Sure it seems like it would be normal for a buddy to stop by, but it would be awkward trying to explain those poster boards and CD player. I suppose he could just chalk it up to being some art project he's working on, but it would have been a weird interaction. He really lucked out that Keira Knightley answered. Although that got him a kiss, or luscious reminder of what will never be.
Our saddest sack here though is Laura Linney. Every aspect of her life is controlled, and ruined by her selfless act of caring for her brother. From the moment we meet this character we learn she is in love with the guy with the hair and glasses. It seems to be all she wants, and when she finally gets the opportunity it quickly deteriorates as she gives in to the onus that is caring for brother and answering all his phone calls. This is the part of the movie that makes me the saddest. I ache for her.
When you look at this movie in the way I have just broken it down, it sounds like a real asshole of a movie. Yet when that final scene rolls, when that Beach Boys song swells there is a giant smile that takes over. This seems counter-intuitive to what I said in the opening about finding joy in hearing about people being selfless. So why then would such an asshole of a movie give me such happiness?
Well, it's because it is not about the selfishness or the selflessness, those are just by-products of the story. What makes me happy about the movie is it showcases people taking control of their lives, or failing to take control. Colin Firth, Hugh Grant, and "Colin: God of Sex," all essentially say, "Fuck this. This isn't working. Ima make it work." Emma Thompson and Laura Linney make no effort to improve their situation and they get fucked.
The more I think about Laura Linney's situation, they less I feel sorry for her. In his last post Dagger mentioned not being a fatalist. I agree with this and even take a step further. I believe that we are all mostly in control about how we experience each situation. If you're not enjoying yourself during some situation, then it's your own damn fault (short of something completely out of your control fucking shit up). So Laura Linney's failure with hair and glasses guy is not her brother's fault but rather her own. I don't fault her for taking care of her brother, that is a good thing. But she has set no ground rules or anything. He knows that she will be at his every beck and call and that is her fault. She needed to instill the idea that she can't answer every phone call, or that he can't call at certain times. Even if he has a mental condition that makes him hard to understand this, there are ways to condition and essentially train him to these notions. If Laura Linney wants a life other than caretaker, then she has to take control.
The whole point here is the world is what you make of it, and change happens by action. These are concepts I have often told myself but ones that were harder for me to put into play. I think this is part of the reason I worked in retail for 9 god damned years. But right now, more than any other point in my life, I am more equipped with the tools, skills, and knowledge to mold my world into what I want. It's the actions in Love Actually that help remind me that what I want is there for the taking, and that it is not only ok, but also necessary at times to be selfish.
Now it's all up to me. I have to figure out what I want to do, where I want to go, and what I need to do to get there. And then fucking doing it.
In the end, it's all a question of Hart.
09 Feb 2012 Lee S. Hart

22 April 2012 marks 100th anniversary of the birth of Kathleen Ferrier. Kathleen Ferrier was born on 22 April 1912 and died at the age of forty-one on 8 October 1953. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Kathleen Ferrier's birth the DECCA legacy is brought together in a comprehensive 14-CD set with a bonus DVD. All the recordings have been remastered for this anniversary edition and will further demonstrate the unique qualities of this much-loved artist.
"This is straight and unfussy in its staging, and the video production by Brian Large could not be more expert and unobtrusive (save for one or two close-ups of Jessye Norman's larynx). Tatiana Troyanos's Composer is quite superb, and neither Battle nor Norman can be faulted vocally" (Penguin Guide)
Jazz buffs are very familiar with Wynton Marsalis and his trumpet. Opera lovers know the quality voice of lyrical soprano Kathleen Battle. A perfect blending of these two performers, in the Baroque music, has been acheived in this CD. The match of human voice and trumpet seems to us, at the end of the Twenth Century, a mismatch. But to quote Ellen T. Harris, who wrote the liner notes, "The real and sympolic power of the trumpet makes its combination with the quieter instruments and voice seems, at first, imbrobable, but a softer sweeter style of playing in the high ("clarino") register was typical in art music for the trumpet…". Sounds simple enough, but Wynton is one of the few players who can do it well. So well in fact, that at several points Kathleen's voice and Wynton's trumpet blend into one voice, a balanced singularity, even duplicating each others vibrato exactly. A truely amazing accomplishment, which can only be fully appreciated by listening; but once you hear this glorious sound, you'll want to upgrade your stero system to capture its fullness…By A Customer
Kathleen Battle ended her operatic career on a sour note when she was fired from the MET, and this album somehow reflects that–it lacks her usual vivacity and joy. This is the only recital I've heard form her that's routine, and things aren't helped by the fact that her voice, a light colorature, isn't substantial enough for many of these arias, which are for a lyric soprano.By Santa Fe Listener
Kathleen Battle and Placido Domingo delight the listener from start to finish in this complilation. Most notable are the duets from La Traviata and The Merry Widow. In my experience of soprano/tenor performances, one voice usually is stronger or more powerful than the other, thus disappointing to that listener who is seeking a perfect blending of voices. Ms. Battle and Mr. Domingo achieve that perfect blend on each duet on this CD. Their solo performances are equally outstanding. It is no wonder they are in such demand with audiences in Japan where this CD was recorded live, as well as throughout the world.

#1 Cheating students more likely to want government jobs11-20-2013, 12:58 PM
By Emily Alpert Reyes
College students who cheated on a simple task were more likely to want government jobs, researchers from Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania found in a study of hundreds of students in Bangalore, India.
Their results, recently released as a working paper by the National Bureau of Economic Research, suggest that one of the contributing forces behind government corruption could be who gets into government work in the first place.
For instance, if people have the view that jobs in government are corrupt, people who are honest might not want to get into that system, said Rema Hanna, an associate professor at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. To combat that problem, governments may need to find new ways to screen people seeking jobs, she said.
Researchers ran a series of experiments with more than 600 students finishing up college in India. In one task, students had to privately roll a die and report what number they got. The higher the number, the more they would get paid. Each student rolled the die 42 times.

11-20-2013, 01:13 PMUsing the demographics of American federal employment we could make all kinds of propensity conclusions because the same is not representative here either. It seems to me that the real problem is when government jobs become the better or best jobs in an area. In American this is not because government jobs are corrupt or wildly compensated, it's because the private sector has been allowed to export jobs which Americans once did well and for which were well compensated.
One of my ex-coworkers cheated her way through life, until she got the wrong supervisor.
Sooner or later, cheaters get caught if they don't change their ways. Even those who work for the government. I warned my ex-coworker-I told her "they always get you on the mileage". If you are cheating to cover your ass, you won't go the extra mile to get money for it. If you are cheating as a way of life, you are also putting in for mileage for those visits you never made. They catch you when you get greedy.
She is no longer employed by the state.

11-20-2013, 02:03 PM"More likely to want" does not mean "more likely to have." A cheating student might feel that a government job is "easy" and that they're less likely to be fired, hence their desire. But government jobs (especially Federal ones) are surprisingly hard to get, especially the higher GS/SES levels. You have to know your stuff. In my experience, the government workers often know more than the contractors who are brought in to do the work.
The private sector wasn't "allowed" to export jobs. Unions have imposed increasingly unsustainable costs on businesses, and the expansion of government has imposed huge regulatory and financial burdens on the private sector, which made hiring domestically more complicated, expensive and burdensome. Outsourcing comes with its own costs, which are the results of trying to run a business from a great distance. Inefficiencies abound, and the start up costs can be prohibitive, but when the domestic job market becomes so convoluted and expensive that it becomes too difficult to expand or even maintain domestic operations, outsourcing becomes cost-effective. Do you really believe that most corporations would want to deal with the costs and hassle of overseas subsidiaries if they could get work done close to home?
Sic Hacer Pace, Para Bellum.
Before you can do things for people, you must be the kind of man who can get things done. But to get things done, you must love the doing, not the people!

Hottest Styles in Gucci Baby Shoes
There's no reason your baby can't reflect the same fashion that you love. Gucci knows this and has created a Gucci baby shoes and clothing line that is spectacular. There are people who will say it's nonsense to buy designer clothing and shoes for babies and children. My personal view on this is to each their own, and if you want to get your children Gucci brand clothing or shoes, that's your choice. I was at the Gucci site looking for a cute outfit for my daughter, and I started looking over the shoes. I put together what I feel are the coolest baby shoes available at Gucci for both boys and girls.
Gucci Baby Shoes for Winter
The blue shearling sneaker is sharp. It's a blue canvas sneaker with a shearling around the 3/4 of the shoe body. It's a lace up shoe and it has a really cute additional style option that I haven't run across in a baby shoe before. The traditional Gucci canvas is used as a high-top on these, however you can roll it down for a super cute look.
Baby Leather Ballet Flat
If you need a go-to pair of shoes for your baby girl, you cannot go wrong with a pair of ballet flats. These flats are available in two colors, red and white. They are made from red or white microguccissima leather with red or white grosgrain ribbon tied in a bow on the toe of the shoe. There's an elastic band across the top of the foot to keep the shoe in place. They have both leather soles and uppers, all in all, a really pretty ballet flat.
Original Design Gucci Baby Shoes
If you want a pair of baby shoes from Gucci, this is the design that it all started with. These beige/ebony baby shoes are made using the original GG canvas design. They have a green and red webbing on the sides and an easy-to-adjust hook-and-loop strap closure. They have nice rubber soles for good grip on the floor. This design is only offered in one size now, size 19 which is usually babies between 10-12 months.
Gorgeous Gucci Leather Sandals for Babies
The baby patent leather sandal with a heart is one of the cutest sandals I've seen in a long time. The sandal is crafted in fuchisa patent leather and there is a turquoise heart on the toe strap also in patent leather. If you're worried about sensitivities to leather treatment, these sandals are finished with hypoallergenic palladium. As with all Gucci products, they are made in Italy.
Gucci Baby Suede Driver
These Drivers are cute, cute, and let me say: cute. They are all red suede and have the green, red, green detail that you see on many Gucci shoes. They are perfect for little feet as they are soft and have an elasticized back so they fit well, but not too tightly. The pebbled sole is a nice detail too. The closely resemble a moccasin-style shoe.
Those are just a few of the hot trends for Gucci baby shoes from the store site. If you've never looked around Gucci before, definitely give the site a visit and check out their excellent styling and attention to detail. They also carry a full line of clothing for children, along with great ideas for building a wardrobe for your little one.

online now
I recently purchased Comcast internet and tv. The day I set everything up I decided to upgrade to the "Triple Play" which includes tv, internet, and phone so that I could get more channels. That was Wednesday. They had told me that they were sending me a new modem but i would get the channels on midnight that night. Every morning since then I have woke up and put on my tv, no channels. Everyday after I see that I call comcast and they tell me that night at midnight the "work order" will close but it could take up to 24 hours to get my channels. They told me this 96 hours ago...So i just got off the phone with ANOTHER manager and she informed me that I wont get the channels until my new modem comes in! I have talked to about 10 customer service reps in the past 4 days and 2 managers and they have all said completely different things. This is ridiculous and comcasts customer service reps have NO idea what they are talking about. For the money they charge for their services, you would think they would be able to hire people that have half a brain.
you dont need a triple play to get more channels, and you modem has nothing to do with getting more channels, and the channels should be there immediately. Send an email here.
This is a user to user forum you can email the we can help team.
To get help, you can drop a note to Comcast corporate customer service (email@example.com).
For the quickest response, please include:
Your full name;
Service address;
Phone number & an alternate number if possible;
Account number;
A link to your post.
Sorry to hear about you issues with Comcast. I let Comcast know about your problems and have requested that someone from corporate customer service reach out to you. They typically will respond in this thread and/or to you directly.
Good luck. I try to deal with one issue at a time with them. The reps you speak with on the phone all seem confused. If you try to change something you're really expecting too much. lol. I am still trying to get my most recent incident cleared up before I tell them there is a problem with one of my cable boxes. I go slowly with them.

- This article is about the ranger's animal companions. For the ranger skill type which affects your pet, see Pet (skill type). For the miniature creatures sometimes called "minipets", see Miniature.
Pets are the NPC allies that constitute the Ranger's special mechanic. Each pet belongs to a family that determines its primary attributes and its three auto-attacking pet skills; its species determines the fourth, user-controlled skill. For example, all felines use slash, bite, and maul, but only the jaguar uses stalk. There are three types of pet families: aquatic, terrestrial, or amphibious, which respectively appear underwater, on land, or both.
A ranger has limited control over the actions of their pet: they can set the aggressiveness of the pet, order it to attack a particular target (perhaps while they attack another target), stop attacking and run back to them, and activate the user-controlled pet skill. Otherwise the pet will attack its owner's target or whichever enemy is attacking its owner, and will automatically determine which of its 3 other skills to use in combat. If the ranger moves too far away, the pet will stop fighting and follow. If the ranger is in the downed state, they can use their pet to help in rallying them while absorbing part of the damage that may still be coming their way.
Acquisition, management, and customization[edit]
- See also: List of pet locations
A ranger can tame one of each type of pet, and can choose before entering combat which two pets they would like to use (two terrestrial pets and two aquatic pets, with only one pet active at any given time).
Any friendly animal (green nameplate) whose name begins with Juvenile can be tamed (charmed) by the ranger, unless it already belongs to another ranger, by approaching it and using F or double-clicking it. After a short conversation, the pet will follow the ranger. Every area in the game, including cities, contains a number of juvenile pets to tame. Some pets, such as the Juvenile Black Widow Spider or Juvenile White Raven, are duplicates of similar pets in terms of functionality, but with a different appearance. They are special achievement rewards intended for players of Guild Wars 1, and cannot be obtained otherwise.
Pets can be stowed using the button to the left of their portrait, and will automatically show up again when the ranger enters combat. Switching pets is done by clicking the button to the right of the pet's portrait.
The Pet Management panel can be accessed by clicking your current pet's portrait above your skill bar or by using a shortcut key, which defaults to K. From here you can view the attributes and skills of the currently activated pet, rename it, and pre-select 4 pets you wish to use (the same way you assign skills to slots). The 2 upper slots are used for terrestrial pets and two lower ones for aquatic pets. Amphibious pets (drakes, for example) can be placed in any of the 4 slots.
You can rename the 4 currently slotted pets. To rename a pet, swap to it then click on the quill icon to the left of the pet's name. You have to be underwater to rename your aquatic pets and view their attributes and skills. Note that only the currently slotted pets can be renamed. Pets will keep their name even after being stowed from active slots.
Pet attributes and skills[edit]
See the list of pet skills or pet attributes
Pets have a set of attributes very similar to characters. A pet's level is always the same as the ranger's. Their attributes and damage will scale with their level. In addition, a number of ranger traits can enhance pet damage, attributes and behavior.
Pets within the same family share a special feature such as the ability to knock down enemies, or do AoE damage, poison foes, buff allies, attack from range, attract aggro, etc... In addition all pets within the same family share the same attributes. Some pet families have high health, others high toughness or power or precision.
All pets have 4 skills based on their family and species. Each family shares three skills (the 3 rightmost skills in the pet panel) which are characteristic of that family and which the pet uses automatically during combat. In addition to these family-based skills, each pet has a unique user-activated skill, the F2 skill.
Pet interaction[edit]
The ranger's mechanic bar unlocks at level 5 and provides the ranger some control over the actions of their pet:
Default keybind |
Command |
F1 | Attack My Target — commands the pet to attack the current target. |
F2 | Varies — activates the user-controlled skill of the pet. |
F3 | Return to Me — calls your pet back to you. |
Guard — commands pets to attack foes you are attacking or foes attacking you. Avoid Combat — commands pets to not attack. | |
Stow — dismisses your pet, disabling all other commands. Automatically reactivates when in combat. Activate Pet — reactivate your pet to follow you. | |
F4 | Swaps pets. |
Combat mechanics[edit]
The ranger and their pet fight as one. The profession is designed taking into account the damage and defense capabilities of both partners working together. A ranger with a dead pet will do less damage and will likely receive more damage due to the absence of their pet. Rangers and pets enter and exit combat mode together.
Depending on whether the pet is set on aggressive or passive, the pet will attack an enemy if it is attacked, its owner is attacked, or its owner attacks the enemy while aggressive, or only when specifically commanded to attack an enemy while passive.
Like most NPCs, pets can be healed, affected by boons and conditions and other effects. The pet's red health bar is shown just below its portrait.
Pets can "see" an enemy as soon as it appears, sometimes before a player can see it on screen due to drawing lag, and will attack the invisible enemy if it attacks the ranger or the pet if set on aggressive behavior. This can be very useful information as to revealing the position of the still hidden enemy.
Downed & defeated[edit]
Like all NPCs, pets go directly to the defeated state instead of being downed, and limps back to its owner. The pet cannot be healed in that state, except when under the effect of Signet of the Wild. Defeated pets cannot be revived like player characters; they are automatically revived after end of combat, after swapping pets, or by the Lick Wounds skill.
Certain environmental damage effects, such as traps, can sometimes send pets to a "dead" state where they will not limp back to the owner and can be revived.
Swapping pets[edit]
The ranger can switch to their other pet at any time with F4, allowing for quick adaptation during fights. The base recharge time for switching pets during combat is 20 seconds and extends to 60 seconds if the original pet was defeated; thus it can be very beneficial to swap pets before they are defeated to avoid fighting without active pet. Swapping a pet counts as deactivating it.
Because different families of pets have different attributes and skills, it can be a good strategy to use different kinds of pets which together can fill a multitude of roles.
Aggro and tanking[edit]
Like all creatures and players, pets also gain aggro. The ranger has the choice of using pets with high vitality and toughness which ensures their pet can take and hold enemies' attention, or the ranger can take the tanking role themselves while using more damage-oriented pets, such as birds or spiders.
Pets with high vitality, toughness or both include drakes, canines, devourers, bears, porcines and the armor fish families; pets from these families all make ideal tanking pets.
The ranger can also order their pet to attack a distant enemy with F1, then call their pet back with F3 to lure the enemy to them.
Swapping of pets can also be used to manage aggro; swapping pets removes the previously aggroed pet from play, allowing either another tanking pet to take its place or switching it for a more damage-oriented pet while allowing the ranger to hold enemies' attention. Pet swapping can also be used to escape combat more easily; while a pet has the aggro of enemies, retreating from combat and swapping pets will recall the previously attacking pet while both the ranger and the freshly swapped pet can get out of combat.
Stowing pets[edit]
A pet can also be "stowed" (or put away) by clicking on the down-arrow button in the pet bar while not in combat.
- Stowing can be used to avoid having the pet attract enemies. It is also useful in tight areas where a large pet can obscure players' vision.
- Pets automatically reappear after entering a new zone or when entering combat mode.
- Stowing a pet counts as deactivating it
Reviving the owner[edit]
A ranger's pet can help revive their master when they are downed:
- The ranger will rally if their pet kills a foe.
- While downed, the Lick Wounds skill will command the pet to revive its owner (and itself if necessary). Because reviving generates additional aggro, the ranger can more safely use the Bandage skill at the same time to revive faster.
Families and species[edit]
There are fifteen different families of pets, each containing one or more similar species. All pets within a family possess identical stats and skills, except for a user-controlled pet skill, which is unique to that species. Pets are further categorized by the type of environment they can be used in: terrestrial, aquatic, or amphibious. With one exception (see table below), all members of a given family use the same environment.
Family | Species | Environment |
Armored Fish | Armor Fish | Aquatic |
Bear | Arctodus · Black Bear · Brown Bear · Murellow · Polar Bear | Amphibious |
Bird | Eagle · Hawk · Owl · Raven · White Raven | Terrestrial |
Bristleback | Bristleback | Terrestrial |
Canine | Alpine Wolf · Fern Hound · Krytan Drakehound · Wolf · Hyena | Terrestrial |
Devourer | Carrion Devourer · Lashtail Devourer · Whiptail Devourer | Amphibious |
Drake | Ice Drake · Marsh Drake · Reef Drake · River Drake · Salamander Drake | Amphibious |
Feline | Jaguar · Jungle Stalker · Lynx · Snow Leopard · Tiger | Amphibious (except Lynx) Terrestrial (Lynx only) |
Jellyfish | Blue Jellyfish · Rainbow Jellyfish · Red Jellyfish | Aquatic |
Moa | Black Moa · Blue Moa · Pink Moa · Red Moa · White Moa | Terrestrial |
Porcine | Boar · Pig · Siamoth · Warthog | Terrestrial |
Shark | Shark | Aquatic |
Smokescale | Smokescale | Terrestrial |
Spider | Black Widow Spider · Cave Spider · Forest Spider · Jungle Spider | Terrestrial |
Wyvern | Juvenile Electric Wyvern · Juvenile Fire Wyvern | Terrestrial |
Pets can be found in nearly every region and zone in the game. The list of pet locations also includes an abbreviated list for those wishing to charm each animal with the least amount of effort.

A 1950s Childhood : From Tin Baths to Bread and Dripping Paperback

With chapters on games and hobbies, holidays, music and fashion, the wonderful memories and delightful illustrations will bring back this decade of childhood, and jog memories about all aspects of life.

We stayed here on our one night in Nairobi on our way to Masai Mara. We had crammed in a visit to the elephant orphanage which is very close. The hotel/house was very pleasant with a lovely garden, lovely rooms and bathroom. The food is a set menu - easily accommodated my non fish preference at the last minute and it was all very tasty. The drinks at the bar were great and service was very good. Limited atmosphere though with no music...there were speakers, but no ability to play music which was a shame. The only downside was the shop which had some lovely items at RIDICULOUS prices. A good stop over point.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Hogmead is a boutique 'home from home' in Nairobi, situated in the peaceful outskirts of the city, with easy access from both the International and Domestic airports. Hosted by Jay Macleod and Richard Muhehe, this is a highly personalized retreat from the hustle and bustle of Nairobi.

In our inter-connected global society, businesses more than ever are seeking to draw upon the skills and knowledge of foreign professionals and specially trained individuals. Though our country has welcoming immigration laws, these laws and the immigration process can be complex – and at times even discouraging. Our firm has been assisting clients for decades with their immigration needs. We understand the law and the vagaries of the process.
In addition to assisting businesses with their immigration needs we also we assist families and individuals. Our lawyers provide a broad range of immigration services, including the following:
When considering immigration, careful planning is essential. Status, qualifications, criteria and availability of the visa must all be considered. It is not just a matter of completing and filing the right "form." And in some cases, it may be desirable to engage consular processing at a U.S. consulate abroad.
Our lawyers also advise clients on frequently changing policies of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Department of Labor and the State Department. A review of new developments can avoid unnecessary delays and costs. And when an appropriate visa is not readily available, alternative plans should be examined.
At Carlile Patchen & Murphy, our goal is to achieve the immigration goal of our clients in a seamless process.
Our client service team is ready to assist you.

Jessy Ares fucks Angelo Marconi
Posted: June 26, 2013 by pornotycoon
Jessy Ares and Angelo Marconi have their dukes up, but when Angelo lets his guard down, he gets bussed instead of bashed. Jessy darts in for a kiss and Angelo's open-mouthed response lights their fires. Their tattered wife beaters are ready for the rag bin anyway, but Jessy cements that fate when he shreds them.
