Yellowstone National Park
Established in 1872, Yellowstone is the first and oldest national park in the world, covering nearly 3,500 square miles of northwestern Wyoming as well as parts of Idaho and Montana. Yellowstone's South Entrance is approximately 90 miles north of the town of Jackson.
This important, self-sufficient ecosystem is home to a huge variety of free-ranging wild animals including bison, elk, wolves, moose and bears (both black and grizzly) . Yellowstone sits on top of an ancient super volcano, which scientists believe last erupted about 640,000 years ago, covering most of North America in more than 600 cubic miles of volcanic material and ash! A series eruptions over the past 2 million years have created a massive caldera, or volcanic basin, measuring 34 by 44 miles across and nearly three-quarters of a mile deep.
Tall, rugged mountains including the Gallatin, Absorka, Washburn and Beartooth Ranges rim the park's volcanic plateau. Yellowstone sits on the Continental Divide, with water from its numerous lakes and springs draining towards opposite sides of the United States. As a result, the Snake River and Yellowstone River both have origins within the park; the Snake flows westward towards the Pacific Ocean, and the Yellowstone flows eastward towards the Atlantic. The various rivers in the park have carved through the landscape with spectacular results. Most notable is the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, which is 900 feet deep and a half-mile wide in certain spots. Its cascading waterfalls and brightly colored red and yellow walls are a result of geothermal and chemical reactions to the iron in the rock.
With easy access to hundreds of miles of roads and even more (seemingly endless!) backcountry trails, Yellowstone is a powerful, beautiful, priceless national resource that everyone should see. It's one of the last places in the world that's truly alive. But words and descriptions only go so far - ultimately, Yellowstone begs to be experienced, explored and discovered...

Hey guys, I will start the day off right today and give you folks something exciting and cool to draw. Since I haven't drawn any anime or fairy things lately, I thought a lesson of the two things combined would be super enjoyable for you all. So here is "how to draw an anime fairy girl", step by step. This fairy was such a blast to draw because when I was sketching the anime fairy wings, I just wanted to go wild. But instead I pulled it together and came up with something that is not only beautiful, but also simple for others to recreate. The drawing style I used is, to me at least, a traditional looking anime fairy. I know you can design or create any look, but I really like the pale purple and innocent feel of this anime fairy drawing. Making cool fairies is not easy. Especially when you have a ton of fairy drawings under your belt. Anyways, her sitting pose is what I like to call a 'luring pose'. This is an anime fairy girl that is seductive and subtle at the same time. You can choose to use this lesson as a tool to draw another type of anime fairy girl, or you can just go with the flow and begin the lesson as you see it. I will be back with more fun for you all so stay tuned in on this Saturday morning. Adios mi amigos!
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

Will the third time be the charm for the cowboys?Fan favorites Jet and Cord will be one of three teams racing for the third time on The Amazing Race All-Stars, CBS announced Monday. The other three-timers are Harlem Globetrotters Flight Time and Big Easy, and mother and son Margie and Luke, the show's first and thus far only deaf Racer.Photos: Meet The Amazing Race All-Stars castOther returning teams include last season's fourth-place finishers, the Afghanimals/cousins Leo and Jamal, twins Natalie and Nadiya (Season 21), and Season 20 fan favorites and BFFs Bopper and Mark. There are four teams from Season 22: country singers Caroline and Jennifer; YouTube hosts Joey and Meghan; father and son cancer survivors Dave and Connor, who withdrew last time due to Dave's ruptured Achilles heel; and engaged couple Jessica and John, who have the dubious honor of being the first team eliminated while holding an Express Pass.Exclusive: Brendon and Rachel "so excited" to return for Amazing Race All-StarsAs TVGuide.com previously reported, Big Brother couple and Season 20 alums Brendon and Rachel will also be back.None of these teams won the $1 million on their first (or second) go-around, with the cowboys and Globetrotters placing the highest, second place, in Seasons 16 and 18, respectively. John and Jessica have the lowest previous placement in ninth place. One of the 11 teams won't even make it to the starting line of All-Stars, CBS teases.Winter TV: Must-see new showsHost Phil Keoghan told TVGuide.com last month that this is the "most competitive" cast the show's ever had. "This season is all about teams having the chance to rewrite their Amazing Race history," he said.

The first and last time I visited Washington D.C. I was in the seventh grade. The trip served as a reward for participating as a member of the school patrol. Some of us had served alongside our school crossing guard, along the car rider lane, on our school bus, or many, like me, took up a post in the hallway or cycled in and out of the restrooms during our daily 15-20 minute tour of duty. Quite simply we told kids to stop rough-housing, to move along, and to slow----it---down. For the most part we were listened to and respected. Today….I'm sure a fight would break out because someone would think they were being disrespected.
The trip to our nation's capital was amazing. What struck me the most was the awesome size of our nation's marble monuments that symbolize our republic – the Supreme Court building, the Capitol, the National Archives, the Washington Monument – everywhere I looked I saw Greek and Roman facades and columns, and marble…..marble everywhere. The dazzling whiteness, the chisled columns, the carved pediments, imposing wide steps, the wide avenues, and statuary everywhere the eye looked…all designed to impress, inspire, and illustrate the greatness and power of the United States.
Pictures and video simply do not express the beauty, the grandeur, and the promise of power that seeps from every famed building, fountain, and park. Every year I attempt to do our nation's capital justice by attempting to convey what is it like, but it's hard. Many of my students have never even been to Atlanta, even though it is a mere 25 miles away and others, if they have gotten that far from home have only been through Atlanta, not "to" it. During all of my years of teaching I've only run across a handful of kids who have visited and toured Washington D.C.
Usually we discuss the creation and building of our nation's capital soon after we have ended our look at the American Revolution and discovered how the Constitution was written. While I often feel inadequate relying on my feeble attempts to describe the nation's city through images and my memories, I also feel our texts do a poor job as well.
If ever there was a spot in the curriculum road to go four-wheeling, it's at this point. Texts rarely provide enough data to get across the powerful images Washington D.C. conveys and many of the most interesting details are often left out of the story.
For example, in the text published by Scott Foresman titled Building a Nation my students can learn that Congress argued for over 10 years regarding the site of our nation's capital. They learn what the D.C. stands for. They learn the land is not far from Mt. Vernon, and in 1799 the capital was referred to as Washington D.C. rather than Federal City in honor of our first president. L'Enfant is described as the city's designer, and Benjamin Banneker is identified as the an inventor, mathematician, astronomer, and the son of a freed slave. The text simply states that Banneker was asked to help with the project. More information is given about Banneker on another page in the textbook.
That's it. If I was a teacher who just relied on a textbook to teach American History to students the above is all they would know. It's not much.
Enter a new book by Fergus M. Bordewich titled Washington: The Making of The American Capital. This is the book to read if you like to know all the backstories to the larger story. This is the book to read if you like to add to your bag of tricks when teaching about a certain event or place. Bordewich provides rich detail regarding the why, the how, and the who behind the making of the U.S. capital we enjoy and should cherish today.
With over thirty pages of notes regarding references used in his research I'm confident that Mr. Bordewich is a reliable source for use by history teachers, history students, and lovers of history in general.
The thorough history Mr. Bordewich provides engaged me with every turn of the page, and I couldn't help but mark certain things that spoke to me in some way, or things that I wanted to make sure I added to my teaching unit regarding Washington D.C.
Here are just a few of the items I marked:
*the site that exists today came about during a dinner between James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Jefferson, but it was not the original choice. Bordewich goes into great detail regarding all of the events and all of the various involved parties prior to and after Jefferson's dinner party.
*Bordewich explains in great detail why Major L'Enfant soon faded from the story, and how Andrew Ellicott became a rising star in the planning and building process.
*I found Bordewich's section regarding the involvement of Benjamin Banneker to be one of the most well written and detail ridden accounts I've seen to date. In fact, I'm planning on figuring out how I can share these pages with students either by simply reading them aloud and stopping every so often to discuss main points, or by reading a more juvenile account of Mr. Banneker's life and have students compare it to the account given in Bordewich's book.
*The issue of slavery is dealt with heavily in the book as it should be. It was an issue in the final location choice, and it was an issue with the labor that built the city.
*And where did the money come from to pay for the land and the buildings? Again, Bordewich lays it all out…the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Oh, those backstories I love so much!
I've only related a smidge of the story Bordewich relates concerning the founding and building of our nation's capital. It's an entertaining read and I highly recommend it.

I can't believe it!
I was given this book today by a teacher from a California school - the minute she met me at the baggage claim at Dulles! (She thought that I hadn't purchased it yet - and she was correct!)
Oh! I can't wait to read it!
And I would LOVE to show you around Washington, DC and Virginia!
Happy Mothers' Day!

P.S. Tomorrow we are part of the Second Virginia Convention at St. John's Church and we will hear Mr. Henry's powerful speech. Then off to Jamestown Settlement and Island. We end the night with a colonial dance program in Williamsburg.

Despite Less Than Thrilling UFC 150 Win, Cesar Gracie Believes Jake Shields Belongs at 185
Jake Shields got the win Saturday at UFC 150, but his return to 185 pounds wasn't an especially entertaining one.
He won a grinder, outpointing Ed Herman on the judges' scorecards for a unanimous decision. Afterward he attributed his sluggish performance to the altitude in Denver, and trainer Cesar Gracie sounds confident that his fighter will eventually settle back into the weight division where he once beat Dan Henderson.
"When Jake went down to 170, it was not as great as I think he could have been," Gracie told the Sherdog Radio Network's "Beatdown" show. "He had some really hard weight cuts. He's not a huge 185-pounder was the only concern that I have. … His last fight, I could see Ed Herman was a bigger guy than him. He definitely didn't look like the Jake I know in the gym, for example. I think there was a lot of nerves on him, changing weight classes. … It takes a while to make the UFC your home. I think he's settling in and I think pretty soon we're going to have the Jake Shields we've seen in so many memorable contests, where he's tapping people out with some pretty cool moves."
Shields had top control several times against Herman but couldn't put him away. The fight also stalled out in the clinch, too, though Herman was often the one initiating the position.
"I think people have seen some really great fights of Jake's where he's tapped people out with one-arm guillotines and stuff from the mount and all these other things he's done, armlocks and everything, and I think for Jake, he needs to really get back into that, to finishing," Gracie said. "We're not going to change a tiger at this point in the game. We have to [say], 'Look, Jake. This is what got you here. It's finishing people. You're a world-class grappler. Let's focus on finishing.'"
Still, entertaining or not, Shields beat Herman, who didn't fight well but remains a quality opponent.
"This guy's scrappy," Gracie said of Herman. "He'll just kind of keep moving. He's just kind of awkward and just a tough guy in general. You've got to get past a guy like that if you want to get into contention. You have to beat these guys. Jake got past him. Now he can settle in a little bit and focus on doing something better."
It's not clear whom Shields will meet next, but Yushin Okami was also victorious on the card Saturday. Gracie watched the fight wondering if that might be the UFC's plan: a Shields-Okami rematch.
"There's so many great 185-pounders," Gracie said. "Jake has already fought Okami. Jake beat Okami. Hopefully they're going to give him somebody else, is what I'm hoping for, but like I said, I wouldn't be surprised if they did want that matchup."

NEW YORK — Each night after watching Brian Williams deliver the "NBC Nightly News," an English teacher in Ohio is moved to go to her computer and write — about what Williams wore around his neck.
The Brian Williams Tie Report Archive isn't the weirdest thing you'll find online, but it's up there. It's a snarky, occasionally appreciative and flat-out funny read that will have you looking at Williams as never before.
"People must think 'This poor woman must be one of those stalker freaks,' but it can't be any further from the truth," said Nance Donnelly, author of the blog, who will only say she lives in northeast Ohio.
She's always found ties slightly ridiculous. Donnelly used to notice former Cleveland Cavaliers coach Mike Fratello's neckwear, but after he left she transferred her attention to the usually impeccably dressed Williams.
The report has a sense of history, from Williams' "Mango Madness Episode" in summer 2007 to the memorable week she caught him wearing the same tie twice in four days.
She liked Williams' purple tie of Nov. 17, saying it was "almost a whispery confection of a cravat ... a tie which looks like sugared violets adorning the tops of fancy cupcakes served to Ladies Who Lunch or the tiered cake of a Southern bride whose wedding breakfast is held at a gracious hotel."
The Navy blue with silver stripes number he wore Nov. 14 "is the cardigan sweater of ties, the Grandpa of Fashion, the warm mug of cocoa in a world of fancy schmancy soya lattes with no foam. And in these uncertain economic times, we need a Rock of Gibraltar-esque cravat."
Three ties she despises are in Williams' "Axis of Evil." A pedestrian tie worn too frequently is "TWSNLBRAINDTM," or Tie Which Shall No Longer Be Reviewed And Is Now Dead To Me.
Donnelly is still recovering from the orchid tie Williams wore on Nov. 14. She wrote:
"Those Crayola blue stripes that seemed to run and blur at the right edge of this unholy cravat gave the whole broadcast a weird, Dali-esque vibe, and I kept watching and waiting for the rest of his tie to start melting and running off his shirt and onto the news desk into a puddle of purple and blue."
Williams seems particularly fixated on purple and stripes, she said.
"He only has one green tie," she said. "That's a serious fashion gap."
Teaching by example, blogger says
Silly? Of course. That's what makes it fun. She's also teaching her students by example that if you want to be a writer, write every day.
Williams knows the site.
As a former Catholic high school student, ties are second nature. Ask most days what he's wearing, and he'd have to look down to check. He buys most of his ties, and his wife buys some.
"I'm flattered that nice people — viewers of ours — would find anything about me interesting enough to write about at great length and with great passion," he said. "But with all due respect, I've got to keep my eye on the ball."

Charlie Eddy Sanchez passed away in Moab, UT on September 26, 2013 after a long battle with cancer.
He is the son of José Benito (Ben) and Maria Elaria Gonzales Sanchez (Miss Lee). He was born in Gallina, Rio Arriba, NM, on June 3, 1936, the fifth child in the family.
The Sanchez family moved around a lot: from Gallina, NM to Blanding, UT; to Durango, CO; and back to Blanding. Charlie's father Ben first came to Blanding on a wagon train in 1912 with his father, Elogio.
Charlie considered Blanding to be his hometown. As a young man, he had several jobs in the area, including the uranium mill in Monticello, and the mines in Moab. He married Delores Chacon and had three sons, Charlie Bill Sanchez (Moab), Manuel Sanchez (Ogden, UT), Julian Sanchez (SLC).
Charlie then married Mollie Mestas of Ogden, UT. He liked to listen to Spanish music and dance. He also liked to hunt, fish, camp and visit with family and friends.
He loved his sons, grandkids, brothers, sisters and all his family members. He was a big Denver Broncos fan.
The funeral mass was held at St. Pious X Catholic Church in Moab.
Survivors are Mary Jones (Moab), Joe Sanchez (Roy, UT), Andy Sanchez (Cortez, CO), Carrie Rash (Continental Divide, NM), Gilbert Sanchez (Bloomfield, NM), Dorthey Mitchell (Blanding), and Cicilia Atwood (Hobbs, NM) and seven grandchildren.
Charlie is preceded in death by his parents, brother Ernie, and sisters Virginia and Margaret.

What is Telmisartan?
Telmisartan is a medicine mainly used for the treatment of hypertension or high blood pressure. This medicine is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist that prevents the blood vessels from narrowing which improves blood flow and lowers blood pressure. It is prescribed sometimes in combination with other blood pressure medicines. Telmisartan is also prescribed to lower the risk of stroke and heart attack, or death from heart disease in people who are at least 55 years and with high risk factors for serious heart troubles.
Telmisartan is sold under various trade names, a couple of which are Micardis and Telma (made by Glenmark). This medicine may also be prescribed for conditions other than those listed here.
Important Information about Telmisartan

Let your dreams take you on a journey, and decorate your home with the best from the U.S. west coast! Desenio's creative team traveled from east coast to west coast, and eternalized the journey with different designs from Miami, Los Angeles, and Palm Springs. The inspiration for the collections could be found in the surroundings - mid-century modern architecture, art deco, and the beautiful environment.
Miami provided inspirations with its pastel-hued architecture, including bubblegum pink buildings and turquoise skies. Later, in Palm Springs, we were fascinated by the vast desert landscape in Joshua Tree, and the beautiful architecture in mid-century modern design. The photos from our last stop, Los Angeles, are characterized by the meeting of urban city, ocean, and vegetation. Coast to Coast is made up of the three studio collections where the photo art takes you on a journey to three of the U.S.'s most popular destinations. Decorate with photos captured by Desenio's own creative team, and create an inspiring vacation vibe in your home!

This story was published July 8, 2013.
MONTREAL - Montreal officials responsible for public security have no idea how much oil or hazardous materials pass through the city each day, or where it's being transported.
"The information that we have on the materials that are transported is almost nil," said Louise Bradette, department head at Montreal's centre de sécurité civile. "All of that is under federal jurisdiction."
For at least 10 years, Montreal has been asking to know what types, how much and where hazardous materials are being transported, Bradette said, but like all Canadian municipalities, has been refused on the basis it could open sites to sabotage or terrorist attacks. Under federal legislation, rail companies are not obligated to share the information.
"The way we answer this question in Montreal is with our public security plan, as they did in Lac-Mégantic," Bradette said. "So the response for this type of disaster is the response we can give with our emergency crews."
The public security office carries out detailed inspections on all fixed-site corporations that carry hazardous materials so it can know the risks and structure its emergency response protocols. It would like the same information regarding the transportation of dangerous materials, and in rail yards, "but its not within our powers to force the creator of those risks to provide us with the information."
For a west-end municipality like Côte St. Luc, home to 31,000 people who are encircled by train tracks and located next to the largest rail yard in Quebec, rail safety is a vital concern.
"Côte St. Luc is basically in a rail yard," city councillor Dida Berku said. "We have two entrances to the city that are underpasses that go under train lines, we are surrounded by train tracks, so definitely an incident like this brings the risks, and the notions of risk, to the forefront."
Freight trains in their municipality share tracks with commuter trains run by the Agence métropolitaine de transport, increasing the risk, Berku noted. Many homes in Côte St. Luc are located within 20 metres of train tracks.
"CP makes the argument that we were there first and it's your ill-advised zoning that has allowed buildings too close to the tracks," Berku said. "Well, it's the tracks and what's going in the rail yards that should be safe. Whether (houses are set back) 10 metres or 50 metres, if there's an accident of this magnitude, it's not going to make a difference."
In Europe, where rail lines are often government regulated, rules are much more stringent, she noted.
Côte St. Luc has asked CP for a meeting to discuss what can be done to further protect their community, and what changes CP is making in the wake of the incident.
Locomotives pulling dozens of tanker cars laden with oil rumble by 50 metres away from the home of Côte St. Luc resident and railway expert Avrom Shtern Monday morning. They will pass over the railway span that runs next to the Mercier Bridge, then head south to the Port of Albany where the oil will be transported to barges and floated to refineries in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
"The train that caused the catastrophic damage and loss of life in Lac-Mégantic also passed by this house," Shtern noted.
The Canadian Federation of Railways and the Railway Association of Canada established guidelines years ago saying residences must be set back at least 30 metres from rail lines and 300 metres from rail yards. But without the backing of federal legislation, they are often ignored.
"It comes up against promoters who just want to build anywhere, and really don't care if it's right next to a technological risk, like a railway," Shtern said.
Those guidelines don't mean much if rail companies fail to maintain their tracks and continue to use old, unsafe technologies. In particular, Shtern said, the industry needs to replace the DOT 111 rail cars that were rated deficient in a Transportation Safety Board of Canada report almost 20 years ago. Some of those cars were involved in Saturday's tragedy.
Because of the interconnectedness of the North American train network, however, that's an issue that must be dealt with across the continent. With Canada's main rail companies, CP and Canadian National, owned primarily by U.S. interests, Shtern doesn't see changes happening soon.
Five years ago, there was hardly any oil transported by train through Montreal. It's a practice that fell out of favour after the Second World War. But with a lack of pipelines and a surge in U.S. oil derived from fracking, trains have become the cheapest and most efficient means of transport.
Some say the rail boom will diminish, but Shtern isn't so sure. Rail companies are investing heavily in new rail cars and terminals, in part because ethanol is gaining favour.
Ethanol, Shtern notes, is much more explosive than oil.

We spent some time with the diminutive asura race during the final beta weekend event for Guild Wars 2 and today we're offering our thoughts on the experience!
I'll be blunt; I've never been interested in the asura. In fact, I've loved to hate them since ArenaNet announced that they would be a playable race in Guild Wars 2. They're little alien-esque, mice-like, Raz-from-Psychonauts-looking creatures, and I was going to have none of it. At the same time, I do admit they're probably one of the more interesting smaller races one can find in a fantasy MMO, especially since they're basically replacing dwarves and gnomes in Guild Wars 2, and I hate those two even more.

Asura was my best surprise this last BWE. I had Asura at the last race i would be playing, and now after the BWE i really enjoyed playing it. The animations are very well done and makes it really funny to play.
I loved the Asura, andI wasn't expecting to! Loved them!
@ Michael Bitton
Hater ! :P
Just funny how many times you mention "i hate..."
Same here, I did not expect to love Asura but came away with a main character (for release) at the end of Beta 2! ^_^
They have technology and magic intervined and they have golems (basically stylish mecha! What is not to love about them?
This was my second race during the beta. The first was human, and I had been finding GW2 a little underwhelming compared to the hype. Then I rolled an Asura Elementalist, and it was fantastic! The animation was top notch - every time she ran forward she almost fell over and everytime she jumped she seemed to be completely manic. The voice acting (featuring Felicia Day) was great and very funny, and the starting area was very pretty and fun to explore. Defo will be playing one on launch!
"When people don't know much about something, they tend to fill in the blanks the way they want them to be filled in. They are almost always disappointed." - Will Wright
I only had one real beef after playing the Asura, all the other races animations seem to pale in comparison. The fine detail Anet went to to ensure the look/feel of the Asura is so good when I attempted to play other races I kinda lost interest. This is especially true with regards to the run animations. The other races at times feel like they are gliding half the time but the Asura animations look totally natural (for them anyway).

Partially agree. Also I can't play a Char after playing Asura. Char and Norn run animations (due to size) "feel" really slow. (I know they're the same speed, they just feel like they trudge along).
Was funny to watch WvWvW. Asura reminded me of Stich from Disney cartoon. When i thought about that Char started to look like Scooby-Doo. LOL

I was pleasantly surprised as well. . especially when you go side to side and they almost fall over. The animations were great Oh and the dodge of course. I normally don't go for the steam punky magic infused tech etc. but they managed to make it not overwhelming.
Wa min God! Se æx on min heafod is!
I guess I'm a bit different than most. Asura is the race I want to play, so I avoided playing over the weekend. After reading this, I'm looking forward even more so to playing my Asura. Can't hardly wait!
I think the animation and emotes for the asura are awesome, the jump animation and /laugh emote are sick. Really happy with the asura and I'll probably roll one at launch.
the asura animations...very well done
the emotes are very funny too.../threaten and /laugh are masterpieces...even /sit is awesome
I played Norn guardian and felt clumsy and slow.
Humans didnt like cos they all look like barbie´s boyfriend. Specially human npcs
Sylvari... meh
Char characters are very well made and I love see them running (kinda worgen in wow...)
Asura are funny and the animations are very good.
I thinkt he think that amazed me the most after playing Asura are their animations. When you are in combat stance and run, the stop animation has so much weigth behind it that the little guy with just fumble a little forward or to sides, standing on just one leg, desperately trying to regian balance. The level of detail in that animation is just mindblowing for something of such relatievley small importance.
Asura is what I had been waiting for myself. I normally play smaller races part of the time but not full time. Asura however were just amazing. Like many said the animations are just top notch.
My wife was waiting for Sylvari but tried a Asura and ended up making a couple of them.
Sylvari being all made of plants and such are very cool as well.
Asura for me all the way though!!
- I have played Everquest, DAOC, Shadowbane, WoW, Aion, Rift, SW Galaxies, Planetside and Guild Wars (all expacs)
I really enjoyed playing the asura. I am probably going playing it as my character race at launch. The city was very unique and had a lot of cool elements to it. I enjoyed the technology/magic mix aspect giving it an almost steampunk feel to it. The comical aspect to the characters make them fun to play and they are definitely a unique race. The characters also seem more limber and fluid, but that might just be due to the small size.

I am generally a hater of small classes but i really liked these little guys and their philosophy, golemancy and necromancy are the future! hehehehe
Playing GW2..
HAHA! no lie- was looking forward to Charr from beta weekends- and now after this weekend ....
Asura all the way!-fell in love with thtese guys!...
GREAT JOB Anet - if you can change peoples minds about set races and classes -u guys are doin something right!!!
fyi- i do love ALL the races so far!- but Asura isnt silly cute they are actually intelligent and not child like or cartoony- omg did i just called a cartoon -non cartoon..
haha- i need help!- lol
"Was funny to watch WvWvW. Asura reminded me of Stich from Disney cartoon"
My roommate said the same thing and it's true. Right down to the sharp little teeth.
I always planned on playing Asura as my main. I am a woman who loves cute little things like kittens, teddy bears, and yes, even Ewoks. And after seeing the excellent and humorous animations for the Asura, all I can say is " Awwww".
I'm probably in the minority in this, but the Asura starting area IMO was by far the worst. The quests were slow and some confusing. I leveled way faster in all other races starting areas.
I kind of like the little peeps, but with their horrible starting area, I don't think I can do it.
War and cute dont mix to me.

to each its own i had issues witht he plant people zone- LOVE em , but not my fav.
Asura zone and design was amazing fresh and new! like 'stargate' blew up there! colors and just overall feel made me want to play more and this is from someone who loves warhammer online!
just saying the contrast. they sold me wiht Asura!
pvp with asura was a win /win! they are small and vicious!
Same here big suprise, really enjoyed playing one as a thief, reminded me of Stitch from the Lilo and Stitch from Disney, I wanted to write into the dev's and ask for another two arms to be added to mine,
can't wiat for the game to start up so I can play him again,(yes I know I will have to re-roll him) and my Char warrior.
Yes War and cute do mix!
some quick questions about these little guys. do all the cute animations slow down actual dps and casting or attacking like in so many other games? like in wow, do short people have more problems seeing long distances and over things? can they jump as high and clear obsticles like other races. when it comes to dungeons and evoiding combat and such this is very importantant in most games later on. what are the downsides to playing short aliens in gw2? hehe

Okay, this is a wierd problem. I'm using VC++ on Windows 2000 and I am trying to program within console.
Well, I have a big problem. When I try to compile a program, it gets all wierd. Whenever I compile, it always plays the code in different order. Like, if I get input, perform an operation on it, and I output text, it sometimes outputs text, gets input, and performs the operations. That was just an example. Does anyone know how to fix the problem?

Was Aristotle nothing more than a useful idiot?
Early Xianity found him useful.
Was he an idiot?
Who else would say women have fewer teeth than men without having counted them?
Two millenia would pass before someone with access to the media counted.
Write whatever you like; the quotable will come
So many brilliant quotes. Sparks that illuminate, maybe set ablaze a mind ready for them.
So good to read, but I pointedly avoid them when writing:
1. No use making my prose, by comparison, more everyday than it is.
2. The quotable (as aphorism) cannot be manufactured -- it comes on its own.
Who can equal Nietzsche (in good translation)? A great artist with humor. Surprised?
A little girl asked her mother,
-- "Is it true that God is everywhere?"
-- "Yes, he is."
-- "Well, I think that is indecent."
-- Nietzsche The gay science 2nd ed 1887 preface
the anti_supernaturalist
I finished reading the anti christ recently and got a few nuggets:
"Sacrifice for sin, and in its most obnoxious and barbarous form: sacrifice of the innocent for the sins of the guilty! What appealing paganism!"
"There is a perfect likeness between christian and anarchist: their object, their instinct, points only toward destruction.One need only turn to history for a proof of this: there it appears with appalling distinctness"
"What is bad? But i have already answered: all that proceeds from weakness, from envy, from revenge. --The anarchist and the christian have the same ancestry..."
"...mankind prefers observing poses to listening to reasons..."
"The strength, the freedom which proceed from intellectual power, from a superabundance of intellectual power, manifest themselves as skepticism. Men of fixed convictions do not count when it comes to determining what is fundamental in values and lack of values. Men of convictions are prisoners. They do not see far enough, they do not see what is below them: whereas a man who would talk to any purpose about value and non-value must be able to see five hundred convictions beneath him-- and behind him...A mind that aspires to great things, that wills the meant thereto, is necessarily skeptical."
"Truth is not something that one has and another has not: at best, only peasants, or peasant-apostles like Luther, can think of truth in any such way."
"Not every one may be a Christian: one is not "converted" to christianity-- one must first be sick enough for it..."
"Christianity finds sickness necessary, just as the Greek spirit had need of a superabundance of health-- the actual ulterior purpose of the whole system of salvation of the church is to make people ill."
""Faith" as an imperative, vetoes science--in praxi, lying at any price..."
I loved that man. I would provide more but would require the translation of a translation.
Some of my favorite quotes, that I will and have used when conversing with a theist:
God made me an atheist, who are you to question his decision?
If god has a problem with the way I live, let him tell me.
I found them both somewhere online or in a book, not too sure
This is my favorite

I thought that quote was from Seneca.
I'm pretty sure that this quote is indeed from Seneca.
Edward Gibbon mentioned it in his book on the Roman Empire .. may be that explains it.
I liked them all,,, especially;
1. Creationists make it sound like a 'theory' is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night — Isaac Asimov
6. The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. — George Bernard Shaw
Of course, Woody's is the best.
Sadly, number 15 is false in the case of those funeral insurance places. At least they do actually (I hope) pay out the value of the policy upon your death (unlike religion).

And so it begins.
The USA Today coaches' poll was released early Sunday afternoon and, as expected, there was important movement at the top of the rankings. The kind of movement that will, once again, make Ohio State sweat.
The Buckeyes, thanks to top-ranked Alabama's first loss of the season, did the expected and moved into the No. 2 hole behind new No. 1 Florida State. That object in the mirror, however, is much closer than they would like for it to appear.
Auburn, which stunned the Tide with no time left Saturday night, is now at No. 3, just 25 points behind the Buckeyes. Last week, the Tigers had been No. 5 and 160 points behind the Buckeyes. The initial closeness in the immediate aftermath of the Tide's loss seemingly sets up a scenario in which Ohio State, if it struggles in a close win in the Big Ten championship game against Michigan State, could possibly be leapfrogged by Auburn if the Tigers bounce Missouri in impressive and blowout fashion in the SEC championship game.
The Buckeyes did claim four first-place votes this week. The Seminoles were given the other 58.
Mizzou moved up one No. 5 in the coaches' Top 25, 147 points behind OSU and 122 behind AU. That appears to be too much ground for the Tigers to make up in the chase for a spot in the BCS title game, even with a drubbing of the West Tigers next weekend in Atlanta.
The Tide, which could still be in the BCS title game mix if both FSU and OSU lose next Saturday, slipped three spots to No. 4. The rest of the Top Ten is rounded out by No. 6 Oklahoma State (No. 7 last week), T-No. 7 Baylor (No. 8), T-No. 7 South Carolina (No. 9), No. 9 Michigan State (No. 11) and No. 10 Stanford (No. 10).
Duke made one the biggest moves up in the poll, climbing from No. 24 to No. 20. It's the Blue Devils' best-ever standing in the coaches' poll. That jump was trumped by only Arizona State, which moved from No. 18 to No. 13.
Fresno State dropped nine spots (to No. 22) after its first loss of the season, while Clemson (No. 11) and Wisconsin (No. 21) tumbled seven each positions each.
Undefeated Northern Illinois, which has its sights set on busting the BCS, is at No. 18, up from No. 20 a week ago. If the Huskies can finish in the top-16 in the final BCS rankings — they were No. 14 last Sunday — and ahead of No. 17 UCF (if they win the AAC), NIU will make it back-to-back BCS bowl appearances.
Texas at No. 24 is the only new addition to Week 14's Top 25, while USC dropped out after entering the weekend No. 23.

One in a weekly series about the Black AIDS Institute's Greater Than AIDS ambassadors, who are using their VIP status in Black America to increase awareness of HIV/AIDS and HIV testing and treatment.
Brian White has released his first book, Black Carpenter: Straight Talk to Build a Solid Foundation (co-written with Anna Cheshire Levitan), part of a multiplatform success-building campaign for youths. And White's co-starring turn in Tyler Perry's Good Deeds, which premieres on Feb. 24, comes amid a very hectic schedule for the 36-year-old actor and activist.
You describe your book as "a toolbox of essential life skills for the next generation." What prompted you to write it?
I have five younger sisters, and my youngest sister is 19 and a sophomore in college. I hear the conversations about what these young people are facing, and I believe firmly that if we empower them with tools, they can see a future that they want to experience for themselves.
And what are these tools?
I've been co-hosting the United Negro College Fund's Empower Me Tour (with Monique Jackson and Kita Williams of VH1's The T.O. Show), and we have been visiting HBCUs talking about education, scholarships, health and fitness, the arts -- the tools, I feel, that are necessary for young people to create their own success. I don't think there's anything such as luck in life. It takes a prepared person and a prepared mind and a person's ability to exploit the opportunities that they're fortunate enough to encounter. I want to pass along those pearls of wisdom, or at least that thought process and mind-set, on to the next generation so they can be empowered and not intimidated by the world they see.
It's not always easy motivating young people. What do you see as the challenges in reaching kids?
Fame seems to be more important than what it is that made you famous, and today these kids covet the fame itself. How can you show a little girl or a little boy how to become the next NeNe Leakes or Kim Kardashian? With the people I aspired to be like, there was always a process to replicate that involved hard work and sacrifice. When there is no process to replicate, you have kids trying to attain goals of fame and success in all the wrong ways. They're not really building a sound house. We were taught as kids to think like architects, to build from the ground up: You put in your education, you put in your hard work, you have integrity and character, and life will take care of itself. These kids don't necessarily believe that. We have to reinstill in them that this system still works.
I understand you're producing a Web series called, Nine, in which teens talk about teen pregnancy. And you're also very vocal about young people getting tested for HIV/AIDS. Why?
They're exposed to sex so much earlier. I mean, if your kid is on the Internet, you need to be educating them and empowering them to keep them safe. They're aware. As long as we keep the talk real and provide kids with the answers to avoid problems down the line, we'll be okay.
You've been talking about HIV/AIDS for years now. When did you decide to become a part of the movement?
Magic Johnson is one of my real-life mentors. My father's an NBA multiple All-Star -- Boston Celtics, played against Magic, is friends with Magic. And when I was a kid, Magic announcing that he had HIV really shifted my perception of who it affected. And since then, any opportunity that I have had to educate other people or become involved with the movement, I accept it gladly -- especially when I started acting. I mean, you're in front of the camera constantly, and 99 percent of what we get to say as actors doesn't really mean all that much in the scope of changing the world for the better. This is an opportunity to get in front of some cameras and say something that people need to hear. So here I am.

Visit Vocations Toronto at www.vocationstoronto.ca, a resourceful site in answering these questions.
Think of how others would feel if you began to tell them: some people are going to come and take me away to kill me! Most of your friends would probably think you had lost your mind. Of if they knew that somehow you were actually in danger, they would give all kinds of advice of how to protect yourself or to flee.
The first reading today is from the Book of Wisdom and present just this kind of situation. A person is leading a good life and powerful people think that it is not true and want to test this. The powerful people are not doing good things in general and the good person is opposed to them. Even the Scriptures tell us that often the evil people triumph and the good are abandoned.
Of course that equation and understanding changes immediately if we believe in a God of love and justice and in a life in a world to come. That is why many people see religion simply as trying to scare people into being good. On the other hand, if we really do believe that there is life after death and that there is a God, then our way of living changes. We are able to accept suffering and rejection because we know that in the world to come, all will be straightened out. A belief in God and in everlasting life gives an incredible strength to be able to live a life of justice and love.
The Gospel of Mark today shows us the same picture of life. We can hear the followers of Jesus objecting to His telling them that He will suffer and die. They don't want anything to do with that. Jesus ends up telling them that the only way to live is to serve others. This does not always look like a good answer to people trying to kill Him, but it is actually the only way to live. And if we live in service of others, we will either be killed or die in that service.
The readings today paint a pretty strong picture of what it means to follow Jesus Christ. On the other hand, the second reading today, from the Letter of James, gives us advice how to live: Where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every foul practice. But the wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peaceable, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without inconstancy or insincerity. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for those who cultivate peace.
Let us free ourselves from jealousy and selfish ambitions and fall into the hands of the living God. He will show us the way to lay down our lives in service of Him and of others.
Reflections are available for the following Sundays:

Well, I dusted off the apple magic trackpads again over the UK bank holiday weekend last week and here I am again typing on them. This time I'm able to:
* type (of course)
* rest my hands without letters being typed
* mouse and single-click with the right trackpad -- lovely! (or was until I broke it a bit implementing holds using only speed of finger group to trigger leaving the hold state, which made fine motion a bit "sticky" -- I think I know how to fix that but the code needs cleaning up first)
* move the cursor with the left trackpad -- a bit annoying because I have not yet implemented "locking-in" of gestures, so my horizontal swipes turn into vertical ones quite regularly
* use 3-finger enter and escape taps (they are single-keypad gestures currently because I treat the keypads separately)
* use shift holds (4 fingers)
Not bad for 2 and a bit days work I think!
Very unrefined compared to the touchstream, and still plenty to do (bugs, half-implemented algorithms and kludges, missing features), but I feel like I'm "over the hump". That might be misleading since the details are crucial, but I'm optimistic.
