Product Details
Chevy Tahoe 2 Doors 4WD 1998, Front and Rear Lowering Kit with 1"-3" Front and 1" Rear Body Drop by Belltech®. Quantity: Sold as a Kit. This is a lowering kit that gives your truck an aggressive look while retaining factory ride quality. Lower your sled evenly front and rear, or stagger the front slightly higher to offset a downward rake of your factory design.
|Front Drop Height: 1.0"-3.0"
|Rear Drop Height: 1.0"
- Gives your vehicle an aggressive look while retaining factory ride quality
- Lowered ride height brings more stable handling and less body roll due to a lower center of gravity
- Lower your sled evenly front and rear, or stagger the front slightly higher to offset a downward rake of your factory design
- Reduces understeer
- Limited lifetime manufacturer warranty
- Manufactured in the United States
Your SUV or pickup truck was designed to provide good handling with a comfortable ride. Manufacturers set vehicle ride heights as a compromise to please the majority of their customers who want a more commanding view of the road and better snow clearance. For the driver that wants to slam their ride lower without being slammed in the back with a harsh ride, Belltech offers this Lowering Kit that provides an uncompromising balance between looks and performance. As a result, your ride height is dropped 1, 2, or 3 inches in the front as you choose. Because these torsion keys do it without altering the tension in the torsion bar, you get the aggressive stance without a deterioration in ride quality.
The kit gives you the choice of lowering your truck evenly front and rear, or staggering the front slightly higher to offset any improper downward rake it originally left the factory with. Once installed, the reduced ride height lowers your vehicle's center of gravity which, in turn, reduces body roll and any tendencies to lean over. The result is more stable handling at any speed and reduced understeer where high mass pushes the front of your vehicle sideways.
Founded in 1983 in Fresno, California, Belltech® Suspensions began with a mission of filling a need that existed in the marketplace for quality lowering kits that provided full-size pickups with an aggressive stance and a ride that wasn't severely punishing. After developing state-of-the-art drop spindles, coil springs, and shackle hanger kits, word of mouth spread about the design, reliability, and smooth operation of their products - earning Belltech respect among demanding California custom builders and racers. The consistent high quality and cutting-edge functionality of their lowering kits allowed them to grow in the marketplace, and the company expanded to their current location in neighboring Sanger, CA. Belltech merged with German-based KW Suspensions in 2005, and today draws on a wealth of engineering talent that has produced joint products with automotive manufacturers such as AMG, Roush, and Viper and been involved in world-class racing series. Our website is proud to offer best values on the full lineup of Belltech quality air springs, compressors, coilover sets, lowering kits, shock absorbers, anti-sway bars, lift kits, and alignment kits which prove that lowered style and ride comfort are not mutually exclusive.

Will Obama Destroy Israel?
By Obama's own logic, the UN, the Arab League, and "R2P," the US "must" destroy Israel's air force to protect Gazans from the consequence of ... rocketing Israel (and launching anti-tank weapons at school buses, something forbidden by the Geneva Accords, and the UN, oh well never mind, they're just "Jews.") Obama probably is salivating at the opportunity to launch a series of air strikes against Israel as of this writing. It fits with his Muslim background, and also his African ethnocentricity. His hatred of White people, and no one is Whiter than Jews. Just ask noted "expert" Louis Farrakhan, a neighbor of Obama's who he calls "Minister Farrakhan" and a frequent guest at the White House.
Would this impact Obama's re-election strategy? Nope. It does not matter. Obama figures he only needs College Educated White women, plus non-Whites. That keeps things close enough so he can fraud the rest. Would that simply sink Obama with every other group of Whites? Sure. White Americans have an affinity for Israel. For the simple reason they see themselves as Jews, and identify with Zionism. After all, America was founded not in "diversity" but by Europeans, who could not stay in their own home countries. As America becomes increasingly non-White, and is destined to become non-White majority fairly rapidly, particularly among the young, support for Zionism only increases because those non-elite Whites identify. With an oppressed White people, battling those intent on exterminating them, and finding security only by strength of arms against a dysfunctional set of enemies who are profoundly non-Western.
A man who tells someone complaining about the high price of gas "You Might Want to Think About a Trade-in" (the new Republican campaign slogan) and "Let them buy Prius!" is not concerned with winning re-election. He figures, its in the bag. And the character of Barack Obama is not someone who will go the Clinton route, speechifying in front of rich audiences. He needs the adulation, the White House, the celebs bowing to him, and most importantly the ability to stick it to Whitey.
Farrakhan's warning to Obama over Libya ("Who the hell do you think you are?") is the only risk Obama is concerned about. He needs about 98% of Blacks to turn out and vote for him, to keep the totals close enough (around 15% points) to have the dead vote, throw out White votes, etc., in the usual Chicago way. Hey it worked for Kennedy, didn't it? That's why the New Black Panthers were set free. Why Eric Holder indignantly told Congress it was "an insult to my people" to assert Whites have civil rights.
Destroying Israel (sure to follow if their air force and tanks are destroyed) would make Obama's Black supporters deliriously happy, probably enough to forget their economic troubles for a moment. Farrakhan could be mollified too, his man Khadaffi is being allowed to stay after he rebuked Obama (note Farrakhan is the ONE PERSON who can criticize Obama without a White House response, or one from famously thin-skinned Obama). A make-up present would be the destruction of Israel.
As a bonus, Obama gets to make the US military, currently admired by the White population, hated by much of it. Nearly all Democrats, would be happy to defend the action. They are the party of Blacks and Hispanics, neither group known for their charity towards Jews (quite the reverse, both hate Jews). Samantha Power's steady advancement in the Democratic Party before Obama, working at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government as a professor, and married to Cass Sunstein, shows there really is no penalty in Democratic wonk-politics for anti-Israeli views wanting the destruction of Israel. Probably most Jews in the US, are so deeply assimilated (and basically debased Calvinists instead of Jews, viewing "Whiteness" as the original racial sin in a parody of Calvinist Christianity) they would not really object to even their cousins in Israel being annihilated. The Jewish population of America voted for Obama, knowing of his background and open hatred of Israel, Muslim heritage, and radical Palestinian pals like Rashid Khalidi, by the proportion of 70% over McCain.
Ironically (and to the chagrin of paleo-conservatives like Pat Buchanon) most White Americans like Israel more than most American Jews, who find Israelis existence an embarrassing relative they wished would go away. From Michael Chabon, to Sarah Silverman, most famous Jews in entertainment would prefer that Israel not exist, no matter how bloody. Because all the fashionable people prefer it, and because of "Original Racial Sin." [US Jews have become so assimilated they've adopted debased New England Puritanism.]
This does not make Israel's destruction on Obama's order a done deal. But Obama is not even trying to get re-elected the old fashioned way. Rather, he's planning openly to cheat. The Media fell all over itself to support his Libyan disaster. Republicans foiled his hopes of painting them as "un-patriotic" by largely staying silent on the folly of the Libyan Time Limited, Scope Limited, Kinetic Military Action. Destroying Israel would be opposed by the Republican Party, because their base likes Israel and Jews (Fox News has many commercials for some charity that touts its aid to elderly Russian Jews). Opposing the destruction of Israel over "R2P" orders from the Arab League and the UN (the same criteria Powers pushed Obama on with respect to Libya) would allow Obama to position Republicans as "unpatriotic."
I don't think anyone understands Obama. He's completely alien to our way of life, thinking, and heritage. He grew up Muslim in Indonesia. He drank deeply of hatred of Whites, America, and Western Civilization. Obama is worshiped openly by the Media as a living God, and worse, believes it. He's basked in adulation for being "brilliant" all his life. He is perfectly capable of ordering a no-fly zone which would result in Israel's destruction, and basking in the glory by the Muslim world and among his core constituents.
It would not surprise me at all to see Obama order a no-fly zone, and destruction of Israel's air and tank forces to "protect" Gaza and make sure Hamas takes over Israel (and massacres every Israeli they can find).

One small problem: he can order a no fly zone if he wants, but we can't enforce it without serious losses. Libyan Air Force <> IAF

What if Israel "objects" to such treatment by irradiating the Arab oil fields depended on by the world for its supply of oil? Don't you think Obama and the Democrats in general may be thinking about this possibility?

Jeff, that's true, but the Israeli Air force flies mostly our fighters, which we know well. Up against the most modern F-22s our own guys say the F-15 and F-18 have no chance. That has been the experience in war games.
Anon yes Jews are White. They may not be White in the way of Frenchmen, or Italians, or Danes, but be assured they are White. Beleagured Europeans who view themselves as the Chosen People? There is a reason a Jewish Heresy (Christianity) appealed so much to Pagan Northern Barbarians. Who in hearing the Bible saw themselves. This is why Evangelicals (who read the Bible far more than Catholics or mainline Protestants) instinctively identify with the sorts of people who are the heroes of the Old Testament. Rather than say, Egyptians.

Hidden Author -- Obama is not very smart. Thinking things through is not one of his strong points, witness his total lack of focus on delivering say, patronage to those inclined to oppose him (the military and contractors, blue collar White men, etc.)
- April 11, 2011 at 12:24 PM
I should also point out that bombing a nation that has a lot of nuclear weapons seems insane to say the least. Obama destroying Israel seems so nuts in the face of that. Most of the U.S. would be against it. Most of the U.S. establishment would be against it. Whiskey, have you been taking some potent substances?
- April 11, 2011 at 12:33 PM
Wow, Whiskey, you've really outdone yourself.
You really are stupid. You know that, right?
Btw, I'm not sure, but I think the Jewish vote for Obama was closer to 80% than 70%.
As for Israeli Jews being whiter than white, well maybe it's just me, but other than a sprinkling of Ashkenazi types I'd be hard pressed to tell Israelis, Syrians and Lebanese apart.
I also like the fact that between his anti-Semitic fits, Barry put yet another Jew on the supreme court, chose the Jewish son of a militant Zionist as his Chief of Staff and got yet another Jew to run his campaign. Let's not forget bailing out Goldman Sachs, probably the biggest source of Jewish financial power outside of the federal reserve.
Maybe he's keeping his enemies closer...?
The fact Whiskey (plus several commenters) thinks that an Israeli no-fly zone is anything more than a David Duke wet dream is mind-numbing.
- April 11, 2011 at 12:47 PM
Never happen. AIPAC owns Congress, both Dems and Repubs.
Sure, Barry went around Congress with the Libya thing, but he won't be able to pull off the same thing with Israel. Even the Dems will vote for impeachment.
- April 11, 2011 at 1:00 PM
This is absurd. Jews love Israel--they just hate Israelis.But even the nastiest SOB prick slob Israeli is a jew and even the nicest,smartest,cleanest goyim is still a GOY to the kikes! Sammy Power is a left wing POS.(BTW,seeing her marrying Cass Sunstein(!!!!!),isnt that a blow to all your "women hate beta males",and "intelligence is a chick-repellent"stuff?)The Jewish left wing may want peace and detest militarism but they are ardently jewish. Obama wanting to bomb Israel?? LOL! Obama is,like all civil rights blacks,with the exception of Farrakhan,completely submissive to jews and would be lost w/o them. Look at the blacks kissung Rahm's ass in Chicago. What ni--oops,I mean blacks want,is to be made equal to the WHITE MAN. Then their shame will be eased,then they imagine even more sexual access to white women,even more money for even less work,and revenge on Y-T.They will happily "bow"(they seem to be good at that. As they used to say about the Nazis,they are either at your feet or at your throat.) to the jews to get that. PS:Farrakhan (sp??)actually changed my life. The nite I saw his bizarre appearance on the Arsenio TV show,where he stated that the jews owned more slaves than the whites. He was vilified the next day of course,but in fact he was right;this was the 1st I had ever heard of the Holy Innocents as being slavers. Give Louie some credit!

Black hatred of Jews is well known. See Rev. Eric Lee's comments to Daphna Ziman:
It was right after the mention of Malcolm X that he looked right at me and started talking about the African American children who are suffering because of the JEWS that have featured them as rapists and murderers.
He spoke of a Jewish Rabbi, and then corrected himself to say "What other kind of Rabbis are there, but JEWS". He told how this Rabbi came to him to say that he would like to bring the AA community and the Jewish community together.
" NO, NO, NO,!!!!" he shouted into the crowd, we are not going to come together. "The Jews have made money on us in the music business and we are the entertainers, and they are economically enslaving us"
He continued as to how now the salvation has come and the gates have open for African Americans to come together behind Barack Obama, because now is the time to show them.(meaning thejews). He continued to speak about ' White supremecy' vs the talents and visionaries in the core of African Americans. He demeaned being given freedom, by saying "To what?" to a country that kills women and children.

Let me add, from Obama's perspective it looks good. Make the Military look bad (they'll salute and take orders even though they loathe it). Drive up his popularity among Blacks. Mend fences with Farrakhan, who he NEEDS (to fraud votes, basically, and intimidate Whites from voting).
If that was so nutty, WHY did Obama pick Samantha Power as his National Security Advisor, out of all the folks he could have picked? Or cite "R2P" in intervening in Libya? Much less decide very visibly to not go for a win in Libya? Libya is only worth doing if you win quickly, Obama does not even want to win.

Sunstein's got by the way, the same Aphrodisiac that Henry Kissinger had: POWER. Had he been some no-name drone in some cubicle Power would never have married him.
- April 11, 2011 at 6:15 PM
I honestly agree with Anonymous # 3. Not a chance Obama does this, for the following reasons:
-He already has a lock on the Black vote regardless of what happens. In an absolute worst case scenario (double dip recession plus $5/gallon gas he will net about 85% of the Black vote, while losing the election due to White moderates defecting. Military action against Israel simply loses him lots of White votes. More than can be made up with cheating. Additionally, most Blacks are ignorant of foreign affairs. Like 0bama himself, they have little ability to conceive of any political issues other than racially-charged domestic ones (the Skip Gates incident, for example, or the Diallo shooting a decade ago). I agree that Blacks generally hate jews, but only a tiny minority of them (the College educated elite like, say, Holder and bell hooks) would care about an invasion of Israel, one way or the other.
2. He and the rest of the Gramscian New Left shun violence through state action (union violence and minority hate crimes against whites, of course, are another story). Libya was a desperate buzzer shot, with 0bama's handlers hoping for a quick, clean GW1 war to prop up his poll #'s. Of course, this failed. No way he gets involved in any more wars, barring another terrorist attack before Nov. 2012.
3. Even if he was inclined to invade Israel the losses would be heavy. In pre-GW2 war games the IDF handed American forces a nasty beating, with multiple US warships "sunk" and many aircraft "destroyed". Plus, the Palestinians themselves would wind up attacking American forces when they could get away with it and the American Left wouldside with them over 0bama.
At most his flunkies write a couple "humanitarian reports" about how horrible Israel is to the Palestinians, and perhaps dispatch American "observers" to try and meddle with Israeli affairs. A "No Fly Zone", however, is out of the question.

" no one is Whiter than Jews"
"White Americans ... see themselves as Jews"
I understand the broader point you are making here and don't really disagree with it - that ordinary whites will tend to identify with Zionism - but this phrasing obscures that, rather than clarifying it.
This, for example
"most White Americans like Israel more than most American Jews"
is true.
Anyway I can't imagine the US military being directed against Israel for any reason short of a direct massive Israeli attack. Doesn't matter what Obama wants or doesn't want. Won't happen.
- April 12, 2011 at 6:28 AM
Blacks don't hate jews as much as jews hate whites.
One lame anecdote of blacks "hatred" of jews aside (Malcom X acknowledging Jews help in the culture war but being ungrateful, big woop, like this isn't unexpected of blacks in any situation) jews, fags, feminists and other refuse are incorporated into one of the all-monikers of the left: "people of color". All welcome in the struggle against white oppression and white privilege.

One hears all sorts of gloom and doom scenarios wrt Israel these days
1.Iran's abomb
2.Hizbullah missile stock up
3.Delegitimization campaign
4.Growing anti semitism
5.More ships challenging the Gaza blockade ala Mavi Marra
6.Palestinians applying for statehood
7.The new revolutions have potential to excarbate the underlying tensions of the common folk which have now come to the fore.
8.Obama yielding to Arab League ala Libya and consequently entering into war with Israel(as is the main thrust of your piece)
All of the above are troublesome but nothing is set in stone
To counter my own points above
1.Iran is seriously unstable,as Spengler of Asia Times notes that it is dying nation demographically and this Jew hatred and pursuit of nuclear weapons is its one last hope of achieving a leadership role among Muslims.Iran may yet unravel on itself.
2.The previous Lebanon war or 2006 was executed in a very incompetent manner by Ehud Olmert.Former Sayeret Matkal commando Benjamin Netanyahu will not be so slack.All the Arab regimes will huff and puff about the Israeli transgressions and genocide against the Lebanese but privately they will heave a sigh of relief that Iran got its nose bloodied.
3.The delegitimization campaign is led mostly throught academics and media.Now with tenure ,admin and professor salaries under serious scrunity due to the new austerity measures,youd be surprised how quickly their priorities would change.Ditto for the media with the tanking newspapers and TV viewership.
4.This is worrisome but much anti semitism comes from not the native population in Europe and America but with the Muslim,black and Hispanic (look where the Nazis fled to after WWII!)citizens.White anti semitism for most part is really exagerrated SWPL support of Palestinians.Europe may be a lost cause.But in U.S , it can rectified by stopping Muslim immigration stat(already in effect),getting blacks and Hispanics to attend more zionist friendly evangelical congregations(also in effect)
5.Israel bungled it last year , I doubt it would do the same this time.I suspect they would let the ships through but confiscate most of goods on board and let the Hamas hold the passengers hostage!
6.The only reason Palestinians are able to apply for statehood is that West Bank is a thriving economy.But Israel can point can easily prove that the only reason it is thriving is due to Israeli lenience, the recent terrorist attacks in Jerusalem will give casus belli to halt any economic activity which will bring Palestinians to their knees again...where they belong.
8.If ever there would a mutiny among the rank and file of the military ,this could be it.The generals,SecDef and chief of Staff SWPL World Council of Churches/Episopelian types who may have no problem with destroying Israel.But NCOs and below are usually fire breathing evangelical and fiercely Zionist for whom Israels well being is interlinked with America's.I could see resignations and soldiers going AWOL and COs enmasse,the outraged protestors will make anti Vietnam war rallies look like a tea party.Meanwhile Benjamin Netanyahu will make a phone call to Obama and give him a history lesson on Masada , a lecture on Israels defense shield and how he intends to use his nuclear weapons in this scenario.Obama will then have a nervous breakdown even before any attack plans are drawn.Then Samantha Power and Cass Sunstein will be thrown under the bus ala anti Semitic James Jones!
I have faith that Israel is here to stay and certainly no pipsqueak pantywaist poser like Obama would make any difference to its existence.
- April 12, 2011 at 8:06 AM
I hereby predict the USA will follow this extremely likely course of action, and then top it by launching a few hundred ICMBs at Switzerland. That'll wipe the smug neutrality off their face! The Swiss had some controversial minaret law or something, right? As the defender of all the world's Muslims and oppressed non-Whites, Obama is psychologically incapable of doing anything less.
- April 12, 2011 at 11:31 AM
Sorry Whiskey, this won't fly (pun intended). Military officers are obliged to not follow any orders that are morally objectionable. I did a quick poll around here and "I'd resign my commission first" gets a good workout (along with "you cannot be serious"). It just aint gonna happen. If Zero tried something like this he'd have a massive mutiny on his hands.
- April 13, 2011 at 2:30 AM
Not the worst prediction I've read recently, and it has a certain sci-fi (or skiffy, IYP). Less likely than Spengler's prediction that Bush would invade Iran, which didn't happen.
- April 13, 2011 at 5:34 AM
The Israelis are the best pilots in the world. And God is on our side.
- April 13, 2011 at 8:06 AM
Nine-of-Diamonds is right. Obama and his friends in the Gramscian New Left loathe the very idea of violence through state action. God bless Antonio Gramsci!!!:
Besides, it's pretty clear now that Obama doesn't want to do anything more as President after having pushed through Obamacare. Such is the Audacity of Golf:

Indianapolis Homeland Security Director Gary Coons made the announcement after meeting with residents of the subdivision where the Nov. 10 blast occurred and shortly after funerals were held for the two victims, who lived next door to the house where investigators believe the explosion originated.
"We are turning this into a criminal homicide investigation," Coons said, marking the first time investigators have called the case criminal.
Search warrants are being executed and official are looking for a white van that was seen in the subdivision on the day of the blast, Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry said. Authorities are offering at least a $10,000 reward.
Curry said the investigation is aimed at "determining if there are individuals who may be responsible for this explosion and fire."
Neither he nor Coons took questions or indicated if they had any suspects. No arrests have been made.
Officials have said they believe natural gas was involved in the explosion, which destroyed five homes and left dozens damaged, some heavily. Damage has been estimated at $4.4 million.
Investigators have been focusing on appliances as they search for a cause of the explosion.
Hundreds of people attended the funerals earlier Monday for the couple killed in the explosion, 34-year-old John Dion Longworth and 36-year-old Jennifer Longworth. She was a teacher remembered for knitting gifts for her students, while her husband, an electronics expert, was known as a gardener and nature lover.
Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard spoke at the news conference and said he went to the Longworths' funeral and had a hard time coming to peace with what had happened.
"There is a search for truth and there is a search for justice," Ballard said.
The couple lived next door to the house where investigators are focusing. The co-owner of that house, John Shirley, told The Associated Press he had received a text message from his daughter recently saying the furnace in the home, which she shares with her mother and her mother's boyfriend, had gone out.
Shirley's ex-wife, Monserrate Shirley, said her boyfriend, Mark Leonard, had replaced the thermostat recently and the furnace had resumed working.
The couple was away at a casino at the time of the blast. The daughter was staying with a friend, and the family's cat was being boarded.
Monserrate Shirley's attorney, Randall Cable, declined comment on the announcement Monday evening.
Associated Press writer Ken Kusmer contributed to this report from Indianapolis.

'Total Recall,' Doug Stanhope and 'Skyfall' — 10 Things To Check Out This Week
We're feeling positive today, so we decided to chuck the bad stuff and focus on ten awesome things to check out this week in the world of entertainment and pop culture. We're headed for a week full of good comedy, fun reality shows (yeah, really) and gratuitous shots of Kate Beckinsale's breasts. Enjoy!
Total Recall
Can exploitative shots of Kate Beckinsale kicking ass, crashing cars and shooting giant futureguns make up for this remake's unfortunate lack of Schwarzenegger-isms, Verhoeven-isms and exploding heads? We don't know, but we're willing to find out when 'Total Recall' redux opens in theaters this Friday
Doug Stanhope: Before Turning the Gun on Himself
Showtime debuts the new stand-up special from hilarious, hard-drinking, brutally honest comedian Doug Stanhope on Friday at 10 p.m. ET. Stanhope's scathing social commentary will make you squirm as much as it makes you laugh. His veracious, biting wit makes Dane Cook look like Yakov Smirnoff.
The Babymakers
Our pal Jay Chandrasekhar ('Supertroopers,' 'Beerfest') directed this Olivia Munn-starring hard-R comedy about, in Chandrasekhar's own words, a team staging "a sperm bank heist." 'The Babymakers,' also starring Paul Schneider, open in theaters on Friday.
Hatfields & McCoys on DVD and Blu-ray
We recommended this action-packed History Channel miniseries when it originally aired in May, and now's your chance to catch it in case you missed it on the tube. 'Hatfields & McCoys,' co-starring Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton as dueling frontiersman, hits DVD and Blu-ray on Tuesday.
Off The Hook: Extreme Catches
We rarely recommend reality shows, but we're making an exception for 'Off the Hook: Extreme Catches.' We're looking forward to seeing TNA wrestler Eric Young hanging out with America's "extreme anglers" and training to be a pro fisherman on this new Discovery Channel series, premiering Sunday at 9 p.m. ET. Here's hoping he spike-piledrives a shark.
Trust Us With Your Life
Our preoccupation with David Hasselhoff compels us to recommend this week's episode of ABC's corny improv comedy show. The troupe will re-enact scenes from Hasselhoff's life, which means callbacks to the awesomeness of 'Knight Rider,' the bouncy, beachy insanity of 'Baywatch,' and the dark comedy of floor burgers. 'Trust Us With Your Life' airs at 9:30 p.m. ET.
The Skyfall trailer
James Bond is back, and this new teaser trailer, which aired during the Olympics, is doing a great job of scraping away our cynicism about the franchise and getting us excited for the next 007 installment. It's all dark intrigue and acrobatic action, which has us anticipating the flick's November release.
Marvel's All Winners Squad
The Avenger's may be Marvel's A-team, but their C-list heroes can be just as entertaining, judging by this quirky new web series starring cult favorite characters like Howard the Duck, Squirrel Girl, and Hypno-Hustler!
Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance
Yeah, we're still digging on the popular 'Kingdom Hearts' series, and we're excited about this new 3DS game, the seventh in the series, featuring "flowmotion" and, of course, cameo appearances by Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy.
Not the Israel My Parents Promised Me
Pick up the first edition hardcover of 'American Splendor' author Harvey Pekar's final autobiographical graphic novel, which follows Pekar's ambitious, deeply personal and entertaining exploration of the history of Jewish people.

Dear Tom,
How far south would I have to take a vacation on Dec. 21 to receive the same angle of sunlight as we do in Chicago on June 21?
— Dan Panozzo, Aurora
Dear Dan,
We posed your question to Dan Joyce, an astronomer at Triton College's Cernan Earth and Space Center. Joyce said that to approximate the 71.5-degree sun elevation that Chicago experiences on the summer solstice would require travel to the tropics at about 4 degrees south latitude on Dec. 21. Some potential destinations include north portions of South America, the Congo, Indonesia and New Guinea. A more ambitious trip to 42 degrees south latitude would also deliver the same sun...

Rooftop Bar & Cinema at Curtin House, Melbourne, VIC
For inventive use of city space, look no further than Melbourne, where bars, cinemas and restaurants roll out across the rooftops each summer. Drink in the city skyline from all angles as you listen to live music, relax in balcony bars and watch movies beneath the stars. Combining modern innovation with the sophistication of a bygone era, Melbourne's growing rooftop venues are perfect places to spend a languid summer afternoon or evening. Many also convert to undercover spaces so you can soak up the city views across the seasons.
Perched above the heart of the city is a rooftop cinema, which screens art house, classic and recent release movies between November and March. Lounge in a colourful deckchair as you watch a film against the backdrop of Melbourne's majestic old buildings and glittering city towers. Enjoy a rooftop meal or dissect the movie afterwards in the licensed bar, which stays open into the early hours of the morning. The cinema is designed to capitalise on Melbourne's long summer nights, but if it's chilly you can rent a blanket.
The live music plays on whatever the weather, with the popular Happy Mondays event that hits a Melbourne rooftop bar from December until the end of January. The intimate, open-air venue is a great place to see Australian and international bands. Enjoy the city panoramas and snack on gourmet burgers and fries delivered by one of Melbourne's funkier burger trucks.

It's been a long time coming, but finally this week U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon acknowledged that the world body bears "moral responsibility" for introducing cholera into Haiti. Now the United Nations needs to be held accountable for the consequences of its actions.
Although he was only admitting the obvious, it took courage for the secretary general to go as far as he did in an interview with the Herald's Jacqueline Charles, considering that the United Nations has been in denial for four years regarding its role in the cholera epidemic. No doubt, U.N. lawyers warned him against taking any kind of responsibility for the tragedy that killed some 8,500 Haitians and infected roughly 700,000.
But this should be only the beginning of the U.N.'s effort to make things right with the people of Haiti. "Moral responsibility" requires that the United Nations take concrete steps to back up the secretary general's admission. Otherwise, it amounts to nothing more than hollow words.
The first thing the secretary general needs to do is apologize to the victims and their survivors on behalf of the United Nations. It doesn't seem like a big deal, yet it would mean a lot to those who have been wronged. The U.N.'s failure to apologize, even though its own panel of experts pointed the finger at peacekeeping troops from Nepal for inadvertently introducing cholera into the country because of the lack of sanitary waste removal, has added insult to injury and created an enormous reservoir of resentment by Haitians.

Second, the United Nations needs to embark on a campaign to bring clean water and sanitation to Haiti. On this score, Mr. Ban is moving in the right direction. He is in Haiti this week on what he called a "necessary pilgrimage" to promote efforts to alleviate the epidemic, seeking support for a $2.2 billion, 10-year cholera-elimination campaign.
The program is commendable, but what's needed is a U.N. commitment to ensure that there is no repetition of the epidemic and other infectious diseases endemic in the Haitian countryside. That means creating pilot projects around the country promoting clean sanitation, similar to the one Mr. Ban launched this week in the community of Los Palmas. U.N. donor countries need to step up here. Without clean sanitation, Haitians are condemned to perpetual misery and disease.
Finally, there is the troubling issue of compensation. The cholera outbreak is the subject of three lawsuits in U.S. courts, which the United Nations and Mr. Ban have rejected by citing the U.N's claim of diplomatic immunity.
The law may be on the U.N.'s side, but diplomatic immunity (also called "sovereign immunity") seems a flimsy response when 700,000 people have been victimized by the possible negligence of U.N. peacekeepers. And surely, it makes a mockery of Mr. Ban's admission of "moral responsibility." Accepting responsibility while refusing compensation rubs salt in the wound.
Last fall, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay called for an investigation of the cholera epidemic and supported compensation for victims. Mr. Ban cannot in good conscience ignore this statement from one of the U.N's own top officials.
The best way to establish a fair system of compensation would be to create a claims commission, not unlike the one that followed the BP oil spill on the Gulf Coast. A claims commission has its own complexities and aggravations, but it beats years of lawsuits and endless wrangling. It's the right way to hold the United Nations accountable for its moral responsibility.

Honestly can't be mad maybe a little jealous that he's assembled such a awesome harem, really gotta hand it to the guy

Hey, i wanna know, if Tsukune had the option to avoid Moka sucking his blood most of the time, why it is that Moka often still gets his blood?
Anyway, ive been thinking,Eventually, if the inner Moka and outer Moka both end up liking him,I think Tsukune would have a problem on who to choose.

by tea alberti
1. How did you start your story with tea?
- I'm not quite sure if I understand your question properly. Do you mean how I first started drinking tea? I actually talked about it in the Wall Street Journal article if you'd remember… I was seeking for truth about life and knowledge of Self during my college years. I met a Korean Buddhist monk at a temple in Los Angeles who introduced me to Korean organic green tea.This was my first encounter with Asian tea and learned not only how to drink it but also what drinking tea could mean. Drinking tea can be a "spiritual" experience to bring the body and awareness together and it has been a critical part of my daily life since.
2. What's your favorite tea blend?
- I haven't found really good blended tea that appeal to me yet. I'd like to learn more about different types of tea blends or infusions but I haven't really explore much of them. I tend to like a single flavor to savor thoroughly. Once I find a good tea, I focus more on enjoying it as completely as I can, making the best of the experience.
My favorite tea is Korean organic green tea. I want to call it "a divine tea" as I find this tea to be nothing less than sublime in its subtle and smooth taste and detoxifying effect.
Instead of buying expensive cosmetics, I mix green tea powder and water to make a facial treatment for deep cleansing. I also at time take bath infused with green tea without using a soap and I feel so cleansed and detoxified. I found this to be better than any bath products I've ever used. Most importantly, this tea keeps me straight when time gets tough. I prepare Korean organic green tea when I feel lost and confused inside and need to find a way to myself again.
3. What's the best marriage you tried or imagined?
4. How do you usually takes your tea?
5. What is your ritual of tea?
- When I drink Asian tea, I do not take anything on the side. These organic and earthly tea types need to be taken by themselves to get the best experience. Drinking tea in the Asian tradition embraces certain inner or spiritual experiences. You maybe drinking tea as a way to center yourself and bring your awareness to hear and now. I ususally have this kind of tea experience alone. I do not keep to any ceremonial rules but pay complete attention to every motion involved and quiet my mind as I drink it. After drinking a cup of tea in this manner, I always feel more centered, calm, and clear-minded.
When I drink a red tea like Ceylon or Darjeeling, I enjoy the European style, preparing them in fancy handpainted China with sweets on the side. When I have friends over, I serve tea this way and talk, laugh, and enjoy ourselves over tea and dessert and bask in the joy of the moment. The European style of drinking tea tends to me more social and satisfies the senses. I cannot say which cultural style is better as I appreciate both and need both types of fulfillments. Somedays you want to be pampered and fulfill your sensual cravigns, some other days you want to let go of everything and be cleansed physically or mentally.
Tips for beginners I'd like to suggest people to drink tea not only for its taste but to enjoy a moment with yourself. Try paying attention to the act of drinking tea, bringing your senses and awareness to this moment, to yourself. You'll learn about yourself and the magic of being at the moment will reveal itself to you!bio http://blogs.wsj.com/scene/2010/11/05/an-artist-on-the-art-of-tea-drinking/
Thank you Debbie!!!!

Raisin pumpkin bread in a 8 x 8 cake pan (grain free, sugar free)
I mentioned to a friend that I had made pumpkin bread. She asked for a recipe, so I figured I'd do a post and share it with her. Thank you Heather! You've coaxed me to return to my poor neglected food blog.
So this is a paleo acceptable dessert of sorts. It's also acceptable on the GAPS diet for the most part. You might want to skip the baking soda. Otherwise it's all legal.
It's a favorite snack for me since I am no longer eating grains. It's not like a grain based cake or bread. It's better to think of it as something altogether different in my opinion.
I modified the pumpkin bread from the cookbook Cooking with Coconut Flour: A Delicious Low-Carb, Gluten-Free Alternative to Wheat.
It's really quite a lot different. I put more squash and spices. Different spices as well and I added raisins. Nuts would be nice too if you wanted to add 3/4 cup of some kind of nut. Walnut would be good. I've actually done that before.
- 1 cup pureed pumpkin or butternut squash
- 8 eggs
- 1/2 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 heaping tbls cinnamon (you can do less, I just love spice)
- 1 tbls ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp cloves
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking soda (baking powder would be better if you can eat it, I can't)
- 1 cup raisins (I put less, but it would be better with more)
mix the dried ingredients well
mix the wet ingredients well — I roast and puree the squash in a blender or food processor.
combine the two — I used an electric mixer.
put in a 8 x 8 square pan that is well oiled (I use coconut oil)
bake at 350 for about 40 or 50 minutes
Heather permalinkJanuary 3, 2012 4:44 pm
This looks delicious, and I love the spices too, thanks!

NEWARK, NJ — Charles Miller, who was charged with punching the auxiliary bishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark during a Saturday afternoon Mass, is a former professional boxer who calls himself "The Fightin' Preacher," according to his Facebook profile.
EXCLUSIVE: Video Footage of Attack on Auxiliary Catholic Bishop of Newark During Mass in Cathedral
Day After Attack on Bishop, Newark Latinos Come Out for Cruz, Clemente
Auxiliary Catholic Bishop of Newark Assaulted During Mass in Cathedral
The 210-pound, 48-year-old South Ward man has been charged with one count of aggravated assault after delivering a blow to the face of the Most Rev. Manuel A. Cruz, who fell backwards and required medical attention after the attack. Miller will appear in Essex County Superior Court tomorrow.
While the Essex County Prosecutor's Office has declined to comment on Miller's motive, his Facebook profile offers a glimpse into the alleged assailant's state of mind shortly before he was caught on video bopping the bishop.
Miller, who also goes by the name "Dog Time," wrote in his social media profile that he grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. His lengthy social media history paints a picture of a man who has grown bitter over race relations in the nation and what he considers to be a white hijacking of Christianity.
At 9:04 a.m. Saturday, just hours before he drove his pink Cadillac with zebra-print interior to Newark's Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart, Miller posted an expletive-ridden rant against the "white hoe ass" Virgin Mary, Barack Obama, Donald Trump and others.
Much of the writing is nonsensical and without punctuation, referencing what appears to be various portions of the Bible. What's clear, however, is that Miller was boiling with anger, vowing that he was, in all capital letters, "coming up in there to get yawl once upon a time called right mutha f— now."
That line—"once upon a time called right now"—appears throughout Millers' Facebook post history, seemingly acting as a battle cry against perceived injustices.
The Fightin' Preacher also shared a number of images railing against the treatment of African-Americans in the U.S.
Trump's ascent to the presidency apparently stoked more anger in Miller, who at one point shared a doctored photo of Trump embracing Ku Klux Klan members near a burning cross.
In a note published on Jan. 26, Miller again typed a profane, rambling decree against business and government leaders like George Bush and Warren Buffett. As he went on, Miller wrote about unpaid reparations for slavery and an ongoing battle between Jesus Christ and the devil.
"Fighters to the center of The ring," Miller commented.
But his apparently extreme beliefs might only be matched by his eccentric sense of style.
After police tackled Miller inside the cathedral, officers surrounded his pink Cadillac outside. A parking tag for Foster Street, in Newark's South Ward, hung in the rearview window.
Miller's Facebook profile photo shows him standing against the 1970s-era vehicle, wearing a matching pink vest, open down the chest, and a black hat with a pink band.
Several other photos portray Miller wearing flashy suits, similar to the red-and-white one he donned on the day of the assault.
A nearly 12-minute video he posted last September, apparently from the King Kennedy Projects in Cleveland, shows a black screen as Miller delivers another sermon.
Although the recording itself is choppy and difficult to hear, at one point Miller clearly said, "Personally, I believe heaven is going to come to Earth."
Attempts to reach Miller's relatives and fiancée were unsuccessful.
Her Facebook page hosted content similar to that found on Miller's. TAPInto Newark reached out to her place of employment. A person answering the phone said she is no longer employed there.
Prosecutors may discuss Miller's motive in court tomorrow, when he is set to be arraigned. The hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. in Central Judicial Processing Court, on the fifth floor of Veterans Courthouse in Newark.
Miller is expected to appear via a live video stream. He remains in custody at the Essex County Correctional Facility, according to the prosecutor's office.

In the last few days of October, Halloween is only a few days away with Thanksgiving following soon after and generally marking the beginning of the holiday season.
This festive time of year is wonderful for allowing enjoyment of traditions and socializing with friends and family. However, this often involves increased intake of candy, confections, and other treats that normally would not be consumed in such quantity or frequency.
Maintaining good oral health along with these dietary changes is important for people of all ages, but it is especially important for children.
This is one reason that a year ago the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) and the Ad Council instituted the Partnership for Oral Health. This campaign, http://2min2x.org, was designed to raise awareness of oral health in children, parents, and caregivers.
As exemplified by its web address, one of the keys to good oral health is maintaining good oral hygiene through brushing children's teeth for 2 minutes 2 times a day.
Other good oral health practices include:
- Brushing teeth after meals, especially at night, and not having snacks or sweetened beverages between brushing and bedtime.
- Supervising a child's brushing and flossing until they are old enough to do a good job on their own. When children develop this ability can vary slightly, but for most children it's around age 8.
- Using dental floss to clean between teeth at least once a day, every day as soon as any of the adjacent teeth begin to touch each other. Use of floss is important for the removal of plaque and food between the teeth where the bristles of a toothbrush cannot reach. If traditional use of dental floss wrapped around fingers is found to be too difficult for the child, parent, or caregiver, then the use of disposable flossers or other flossing aids can help make this easier.
- Delivering topical fluoride to the teeth through toothpaste, rinse, or fluoridated water can help strengthen enamel and make it more resistant to the acidic attack that is involved in the tooth decay process.
- Seeing a dentist regularly. The AAPD recommends that all children have a dental home. Properly establishing a dental home means that all children should see a dentist by one year of age and on a regular basis for the rest of their lives, similar to recommendations for wellness checks with pediatricians. This is important because dentists can detect small problems before they become bigger and start to cause pain.
These and other recommendations can be found on the AAPD's website at: http://www.aapd.org

CRESTVIEW � After another year of voluntarily sowing gardening and landscape advice for area residents, Okaloosa County Master Gardeners took time Wednesday afternoon to be recognized for their efforts.
CRESTVIEW � After another year of voluntarily sowing gardening and landscape advice for area residents, Okaloosa County Master Gardeners took time Wednesday afternoon to be recognized for their efforts.
Choosing some of the award recipients was difficult because all of the county's 95 Master Gardeners are active in the program, Okaloosa County Extension director Larry Williams said.
See the photo gallery from the Master Gardener awards ceremony>>
"It's a challenge because if it was just a few people and they didn't do anything, it'd be easy, but it's a big group that does so much," Williams said.
Volunteer Master Gardeners serve under the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences Cooperative Extension Service at its Airport Road office.
Volunteers� amount of work equates to three full-time employees, Extension Commercial Horticulture agent Sheila Dunning said. Their services include answering home horticultural questions in person and on the telephone, and working with youth through the county 4-H program.
The gardeners also operate the County Extension testing laboratory; operate a speakers bureau for organizations and gardening clubs; and run Fort Walton Beach�s Master Gardener nursery.
"You're not on your own when it comes to home horticulture," Master Gardener Carol Rose said. "If you move here from anywhere else, you'll know gardening in sand is just difficult. We're here to help."
"I'm just astounded by the amount of valuable volunteer work this organization does," County Commissioner Dave Parisot said during the awards luncheon.
Potential Master Gardeners must apply and interview for admission to the program's 50-hour training classes; pass a comprehensive examination; and work under a mentor before becoming certified.
This year, 31 newly graduated Master Gardeners, the largest class Williams ever instructed, received their diplomas at the awards luncheon. They will be certified following mentor internships.
Then they can operate the phones and address often-memorable gardening questions such as a query Shari Farrell received about 15 years ago.
"This woman called and said, 'Was I right in turning off the water to my neighbors' house while they were on vacation, because it was overflowing on my property and I was getting fungus on my lawn?'" Farrell said.
Farrell said she was about to assure the caller it was probably a good idea until the woman added that shutting off the water also deprived the inside sprinkler system and the house burned down.
"'But I took brownies over,' she told me," Farrell said.

WorkCover moves against Drayton's
WorkCover NSW has launched criminal proceedings against Drayton's Family Wines at Pokolbin, north-west of Newcastle, over the fatal 2008 explosion that killed prominent winemaker Trevor Drayton and boilermaker Eddie Orgo.
More than 18 months after a coroner found poor safety measures at the family-owned winery were a major cause of the blast, WorkCover has confirmed it has lodged an indictment in the district court against W Drayton and Sons Pty Ltd, trading as Drayton Family Wines.
It follows the completion last month of WorkCover's investigation into the incident and the coroner's findings, and presents another painful blow to the Drayton family.
Directors of the company at the time of the blast were Trevor's father Max and his brothers Greg and John. WorkCover's move means the trio is accused of causing the negligent manslaughter of their son and brother, as well as Mr Orgo.
For legal reasons, WorkCover was unable to detail the charges yesterday but the Herald can confirm they relate to the alleged failure to ensure the safety of workers at the family's Oakey Creek Road vineyard.
In this case, such a breach equates to two charges of negligent manslaughter, leaving the company open to fines of up to $1.65million.
Individuals face fines of up to $165,000, or five years in jail.
The explosion occurred on January 17 in 2008 when Mr Orgo began welding a steel tank which he was unaware contained 9000litres of SVR, a spirit similar to ethanol.
In July 2011, Deputy State Coroner Hugh Dillon found the subsequent blast killed Mr Orgo, 59, and Mr Drayton, 52, instantly. Assistant winemaker William Rikard-Bell, 27 at the time, was walking near the tank with Mr Drayton before the blast.
He suffered extensive burns, requiring months of treatment.
The explosion blew the roof off the tank along with much of the production area's roof.
Mr Rikard-Bell ran to a nearby dam to extinguish the flames that engulfed his body.
Witnesses told the coronial inquest that two smaller explosions followed the first blast and that they saw liquid running through drains which had caught alight.
At the time, John and Greg Drayton were working in other parts of the vineyard.
Following the inquest, John Drayton said his family appreciated the understanding shown by the coroner, and expressed his sympathies to the family of Mr Orgo and to Mr Rikard-Bell.
''Our family hopes that positive changes can come about as a result of the coroner's findings so that Trevor and Eddie's tragic deaths and Will's injuries were not in vain,'' he said at the time.
The matter is listed for mention in the district court later this month.

The new black Earbud
Whether you're looking for a set of black earbuds for your black iPod or mp3 player or just looking for a set of replacements headphones, the Pioneer SE-CL21 black earbuds may just be what you're looking for.
Block out the Noise
These closed type stereo headphones are ideal for listening to your music while you're on the go. By blocking out the outside noise the SE-CL21's make it easy to enjoy the music. And although they're lightweight, these little black earbuds are made to take a beating.
Innovative Design
Unlike most earbuds, these SE-CL21's were originally only sold in Japan and Europe. The SE-CL21 ear buds were specifically made for portable digital players so the earbuds are made to be worn so that the cord is behind the neck and out of the way. The cord is the ideal length to put your player in your pocket and if you should need a longer cord, it comes with an extender cable.
And just to optimize the comfort level, the earbuds come with 3 sets of differently sized ear caps so they fit snugly in your ear.
The Pioneer SE-CL21 black earbuds were created to give you a good sound at a great price. But if you're looking to improve the sound quality of your headphones, try these other black ear buds by Pioneer for a difference you can really hear.

Day After Mother's Day MondayMay 10, 2010 at 12:08 | Posted in Carnival of Genealogy, Madness Monday | Leave a comment
Tags: Carnival of Genealogy, famiglia, family, love of family, memories, ramblings
It's Monday morning and I am sitting outside enjoying the morning after Mother's Day almost as much if not more than yesterday. Yesterday we had one of those glorious days where I knew I was a very spoiled woman! All week my sons had worked tirelessly, endlessly to clean the yard and re-landscape sections that had been neglected for too long. Valentino was not up to doing yard work the last several months and my work hours were long and tiring for me to be able to do as much as I wanted alone. My poor koi pond suffered from a pump that no longer worked and storms last year had killed the fish. Our sons bought a new pump with upgraded filter system – and hooked up all the fountains and waterfall again! They even got a birdbath fountain working that used to leak – now it no longer does. Sophia, our newest addition to the family is enjoying the perks of a huge backyard to play in.
Of course our little Sophia needed a warm sweater for chilly nights so I knitted her a sweater last week – showing off Italian pride!
Naturally Tyson also enjoys the backyard – but takes a more relaxed approach to all the commotion of a BBQ. He's a Catahoula Hound – with one amber and one blue (called a glass eye) eye.
Sophia seems to want to share a secret with Tyson – probably plotting how to get table scraps from us!
Normally this would be a Furry Friends Friday post but today is a day of enjoying the weekend memories. I worked all night Saturday and so naturally had to take a short nap when I arrived home at 7:30 AM. I woke to find my sons had the brick oven/grill cleaned and ready to cook with wood already heating. They had vacuumed the entire house and washed 2500 square foot of tile throughout the house – and polished the marble countertops. It was pure heaven to not have to sacrifice a precious day off cleaning house.
So here it is Monday morning and I am sitting out on the patio listening to Andre Bocelli drinking a cappuccino and listening to the birds. A magnificent peacock has been wandering the neighborhood showing off his fine feathers too! All is right in my world!

An early Shirley Temple film, "Kid in Africa," is part of the "Baby Burlesks" series that launched her career. Temple made eight "Baby Burlesks" and four "Frolics of Youth" shorts for Educational Films Corporation in 1932 and 1933, when she was 4 and 5. (Her real star turn was in "Stand Up and Cheer," in 1934.)
The "Baby Burlesks" were shorts, played before the main attraction. They satirized popular movies: "What Price Glory?," "The Front Page," "The Covered Wagon." The joke was that the actors were all under the age of 5. Historian John Kasson writes of the "Burlesks": "The intended humor of these shorts, which seems exceedingly strained to modern viewers, rests on the difference between adult knowledge, desires, motives, and pleasures, and childhood innocence."
Often, as with Shirley's costume in "Kid in Africa," the children wore diapers with comically outsized safety pins. Names and key details of plots were awkwardly butchered to align to an infant theme (so, in "Kid in Africa," the Tarzan character's name is "Diaperzan").
More than anything, the "Burlesks" leaned on sexuality to drive the joke home. In a review of one of her later movies, "Wee Willie Winkie," novelist Graham Greene suggested that the movie sexualized Temple by eliciting an un-childlike seductiveness from the 9-year-old. (A lawsuit over this review temporarily derailed Greene's career.) These "Baby Burlesks," filmed four years earlier, were already doing something similar, for comic effect. In "Kid in Africa," Shirley is a clueless missionary nicknamed "Madam Cradlebait." In "Polly Tix in Washington," Shirley plays a woman paid to seduce a lawmaker to influence his vote.
In its representation of both the "porters" and the "cannibals," played by African-American children, the short is uncomfortably racist. Charles Lamont, the director, was cruel to all of his young stars. Shirley Temple Black recorded in her autobiography that he kept a soundproof box with a block of ice in it, and would threaten to confine naughty children within. But he was perhaps cruelest to the young black actors: Lamont strung a tripwire across the set at shin level to the children playing the "cannibals," so that they'd fall down more effectively when "shot" by arrows.
