— Kano to Smoke in Mortal Kombat (2011)
Kano (加納)[1] is a member of the Black Dragon clan, and features in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. He is one of the few original characters, debuting in the first Mortal Kombat arcade game. He was the first member of the Black Dragon to appear in the series, followed by many others.
About KanoEditA portion of Kano's face is covered with a metal plate, the result of a disfiguring injury he sustained at the hands of Major Jackson Briggs prior to the events of the series, with the plated eye being a glowing red orb capable of emitting laser beams. Originally a mercenary and leader of the international crime cartel known as the Black Dragon he rises beyond the level of mere brutality and aggression by also being sly and cunning. It was through his resourcefulness that he convinced Shao Kahn to spare his life, and it was through ruthless ambition that he later ascended to position of general of Outworld's armies. Kano combines the features of a cowardly minion, a lone survivor, a crazed madman, and an intelligent commander. His actions have made him the archenemy of Lt. Sonya Blade.
Combat characteristicsEdit
Powers and abilitiesEdit
Kano is extremely adept in combat. What differentiates him from other kombatants, however, is his dependence on weapons rather than special powers. He very often uses his Butterfly Knives in combat, whether he throws them at the opponent or uses them in hand-to-hand combat. In addition, his eye laser is used often, mostly as a finisher but sometimes as a special move.
Another of Kano's special moves is his ability to tuck into a cannonball and propel himself at his opponents. This has been a signature move of his since the first game. Also, several of his finishers involve him ripping vital organs (or sometimes entire skeletons) out of the opponent's body. Along with the elder Sub-Zero's Spine Rip fatality, Kano's Heart Rip helped Mortal Kombat garner significant controversy over its violence factor.
Signature movesEdit
- Kanoball: Kano curls into a ball and flies at his opponent. In MK 2011 this is known simply as Ball. (MK, MK3, UMK3, MKT, MK:DA, MK:SM, MK:A, MKvsDCU, MK 2011)
- The enhanced version is called Kano Ball. Kano will spin in the air momentarily before launching at the opponent, hitting them several times. This can be charged and it's unblockable if held for the full charge.
- Down Ball: Kano performs a Ball from the air to the ground, hitting the opponent if on his way. (MK 2011)
- The enhanced version is Downward Ball and allows Kano to do an anti air grab before the opponent hits the ground.
- Upwards Kanoball: Kano aims his Kanoball upwards to an aerial opponent. This moves is known simply as Up Ball in MK 2011. (UMK3, MKT, MKvsDCU, MK 2011)
- The enhanced version is called Uprise Ball. Kano will do an animation like Up Ball except he will roll downwards after getting to a certain height.
- Psycho Kanoball: This version sees Kano flying all over the screen in random directions. (MKT)
- Knife Throw: Kano throws a pair of knives at his opponent. In MK 2011, he only throws one knife. (MK, MK3, UMK3, MKT, MKvsDCU, MK 2011)
- The enhanced version is called Knife Toss and Kano throws two knives.
- Blade Swipe: Kano slashes his opponents with his knife in an upward swing. (MK3, UMK3, MKT)
- Blade Spin: Kano spins both of his knives around his body, knocking the opponent up into the air if it connects. Only usable by MK1 Kano. (MKT)
- Air Throw: While in the air, Kano uses his legs to push the opponent to the ground. (MK3, UMK3, MKT, MK 2011)
- Chokehold: Kano would grab his opponent and lift them in the air by the throat and proceed to stab them in the chest. In MK 2011, this move changes to a ground based choke and is simply called Choke. (MK3, UMK3, MKT, MKvsDCU, MK 2011)
- The enhanced version is called Kano Choke. Kano grounds the opponent and smashes their head on the ground and then rolls over them to the other side.
- Eye Laser: Kano shoots a laser from his eye at the opponent. (MK:DA, MK:A, MKvsDCU)
- Inner Rage: Kano concentrates for a short amount of time before covering his hands in red energy. Using this move increases the amount of damage dealt. (MK:A)
- Fist of Power: Kano rapidly lunges forward and strikes the opponent with an energy covered fist. (MK:A)
- X-Ray Move - Just the Tip: Kano plunges a knife into his opponent's right thigh, going through and snapping the femur. Before the opponent can react Kano proceeds to stab them in the left thigh, resulting in another broken femur. Then he delivers a devastating kick to the front of the skull, causing heavy fracture damage. (MK 2011)
Other movesEdit
- Free-Fall Super Move: Kano hits his opponent with a charged Kanoball, knocking them to the ground. (MKvsDCU)
- Throw: Kano slashes his opponent in the stomach twice with a knife, then either headbutts them to the ground (Forward Throw), or turns around and throws them over his shoulder (Backwards Throw). (MK 2011)
- Heart Rip: Kano's signature fatality has him ripping the heart out of his opponent's chest, then hoisting the still beating organ in the air in triumph. Variations of this fatality have also been used by other members of the Black Dragon: Jarek in MK4 and Kobra in MK:D. (MK, MKT, MK:SM)
- Deadly Roundhouse: In the Game Boy version, Kano slides up on one foot and performs a roundhouse to his opponent, launching them straight up into the air, possibly snapping their neck when they drop to the ground. (MK)
- Eye Laser: Kano fires a concentrated heat beam of energy towards the opponent to boil their body until it tears into pieces. (MK3, UMK3, MKT)
- Skeleton Rip: Kano pulls out the victim's entire skeleton by grabbing the skull from their teeth and jerking it out, leaving the rest of the body to fall flat on the floor in a heap of skin. (MK3, UMK3, MKT)
- Organ Donor: Kano pulls out his opponent's heart, liver and kidneys two at a time and kicks the opponent away. (MK:DA)
- Knife Toss: Before executing this fatality, he slowly walks away from his opponent, as if he were giving up, then he throws both Butterfly Knives into the opponent abruptly. (MKvsDCU)
- Flip Stomp: Kano grabs the opponent, flips backwards with them, then jumps into the air. He comes back down and stomps on them with full force. (MKvsDCU)
- Heartbreak: A variation of his signature fatality, Kano turns the opponent around and punches the heart out through his victim´s back, holding it so they can see it. He then crushes the heart in his hands, pulls it back out and hoists it in the air while blood still pumps out. (MK 2011)
- Eat Your Heart Out: Another variation of his signature fatality, Kano rips the heart out of his opponent's chest, then proceeds to rip off their head. He jams the opponent's head into the hole in their chest and kicks them away. (MK 2011)
Other finishersEdit
- Friendship: Kano blows a bubble from a piece of gum in his mouth and the bubble explodes in his face. (MK3, UMK3, MKT)
- Animality: Kano turns into a tarantula and locks himself onto his opponent, crushing their guts while they spew out of the opponent. (MK3, UMK3, MKT)
- Babality: Kano turns into a baby and gives the camera the sign of death, then falls due to the weight of his metal eye. (MK 2011)
Appearances in other mediaEdit
Kano appeared in the first Mortal Kombat movie, and was played by the late Trevor Goddard. He seems to have very bad table manners, as shown when Sonya, Liu Kang and Johnny Cage are spying on him, Goro, and Shang Tsung later in the film. In spite of their allegiance, Shang Tsung and Goro have little respect for him. Kano also appears to harbor an obsessive infatuation for Sonya regardless of her hatred for him. The film expanded upon Kano's rivalry with Sonya from the games; she now had a personal interest in seeking vengeance against Kano for killing her partner. Shang Tsung hires Kano to lure Sonya into the Mortal Kombat tournament and promises to grant Kano the reward he desires for his efforts after he faces off against Sonya in the tournament, demanding that Sonya is not to be harmed but merely humiliated, claiming that he has plans for her. During their match, Kano gleefully taunts Sonya about how he murdered her partner with his buoy knife. After beating Sonya harshly, Kano is caught off guard by a leg lock from Sonya, and is soon trapped between her thighs and at her mercy. Shang Tsung betrays Kano and goads Sonya into finishing him off. Despite pleading for his life, Sonya proceeds to break Kano's neck.
Despite Goddard portraying Kano as a Cockney Englishman, the accent was mistaken for Australian by American audiences and Kano was retconned as Australian from his original American-Japanese descent. In Mortal Kombat: Special Forces, Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe and Mortal Kombat (2011), Kano is notably modeled after Goddard's look in the film and speaks with an Australian accent.
British actor and martial artist Darren Shahlavi portrayed Kano in Mortal Kombat: Legacy. In the series, he is the leader of the Black Dragon organization and plans an ambush for the Deacon City Police Department after taking Sonya hostage. A police squad led by Jax breaks into the Black Dragon warehouse and fights through Kano's thugs. Kano attempts to escape, but Jax soon catches up with him. Kano and Jax engage each other in combat, during which Kano describes his torturing of Sonya to taunt Jax. He is subsequently defeated, and an angry Jax punches Kano repeatedly in the face, the final blow dealt with so much force that it caves in his right eye socket. Sometime later, Kano is found by his gang and is given a cybernetic eye as a replacement. He also appears in Episode 9, which chronologically takes place before Episodes 1 and 2. He oversees his cybernetic project in fruitition, alongside with the Lin Kuei Grandmaster.
Kano (voiced by Brian Kesinger) appears in the 52nd Disney film, Wreck-It-Ralph, as a member of the "BAD ANON" support group along with the other video game villains. In this movie he performs a bloodless version of his trademark fatality on Cyril, a zombie character from arcade classic House of the Dead. Kano's main role was to scold Ralph for attempting to challenge the program by abandoning his role as a villain. His appearance was slightly changed from that of recent games, now including a cybernetic arm, goatee and bald head, similar to his appearance in the original game. Kano was the only character from an M-rated game to be notably featured and have dialogue, however, his actual name was also inexplicably avoided, only being referred to as "Cyborg" in the film's credits.
Kano appears in two episodes of the animated cartoon Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm. He is the main antagonist in Episode 6 (Familiar Red) and also reappears in Episode 11 (Amends). The cartoon explains Kano's past rivalry with Sonya, showing him in a flashback scene having killed Sonya's partner in a carefully rigged bomb (which almost killed Sonya as well). The flashback continues with a recreation of a scene in the first movie, where Kano loses to Sonya in the Mortal Kombat tournament. In Amends, they also touched Kano's relationship with Kabal, showing their past history as clan members in the Black Dragon clan.
Comic booksEditKano appears in the Malibu Comics series keeping his personality and history faithful to the early games' portrayal. He also was protagonist of a 3-issues miniseries alongside Raiden entitled Rayden & Kano. During the Blood & Thunder series it is shown the origin of Sonya's vendetta against him, when he kills Sonya's partner (called Lance/Sparky in the comics) during a tournament battle by means of a heart rip. His motivations to loot the island are replaced by his discovery of the Tao Te Zan and the powers it grants. During the series' epilogue in the Tournament Edition issue, he's finally captured by Sonya and Jax and sent into custody. He would later escape (as shown in the Breakout mini-story that came with the U.S. Special Forces issue 1°) and during the Battlewave series he would be disposed by his superiors in the Black Dragon due to his failure, only to be rescued by Raiden. Raiden would attempt to use Kano to eliminate Shao Kahn by means of a mystical sword that drew power from a bad guy turned to the side of good, but Kano betrays Raiden and joins Shao Kahn, remaining in his forces the following issues.
In the novel version of Mortal Kombat, Kano's eye implant has night vision capability.
Character developmentEdit
In an early sketch of Kano by John Tobias, he had an eye patch instead of a metal face plate with a bionic eye, and 2 katanas. Another design of Kano had a large helmet with two red eyes. This concept was also dropped later on to be replaced by a metal plate over his right eye. In Kano's Deception Bio Card, Ed Boon mentions how Kano's bionic eye in the first MK (involving digitized actors) was created by cutting out a piece of a plastic mask and painting it a silver color, then gluing it to Richard Divizio's head.
Game informationEdit
Kano was left out of the Sega Game Gear and Sega Master System version of MK due to memory constraints.
In Deadly Alliance, Kano had a move with his Butterfly Knives called "ear to ear." This was based on a line in the first Mortal Kombat movie, where Kano mockingly claimed that he used his knife to slit the throat of Sonya's partner, from "ear to ear." He also had a fast tag combo with the same name in MK 2011.

Mortal Kombat (film)Edit
- "Good boy. She's here, right on time. I love punctuality in a woman. Don't you... Mr. Shang Tsung?"
- "Maybe me and Sonya should share a cabin. Have our own little honeymoon cruise."
- "That's it, baby. Come to papa." (as Sonya boards the boat)
- "What I wanna know, if this Shang Tsung guy's so great, how come he's got such a crummy looking boat, hm? Anyway, the guy gives me the creeps. "Treasure... these... moments"." (to Goro, mocking Shang Tsung)
- "Yeah? Well, I'm kind of an underworld boss myself, y'know. Well, I mean, back home." (to Goro)

- "Right on time. I'm gonna miss ya, baby."

- "Good idea!" (To Johnny Cage)
- "Now that he's softened you up, it's my turn!" (to Sonya)

- "Shang Tsung's power healed the rest of ya. But your lungs? Yeesh." (to Kabal)
- "Yeah, you're all proper police now. The Black Dragon ain't the same without ya, mate. You should come back. We're in the money on this war."

- Kano roughly resembles a Terminator from the Terminator series of films.

- Kano was rumored to be in MKII through Shang Tsung's morphs, but this was later proven false.
- Kano and Sonya were the first characters to be confirmed for MK3.

- In Deadly Alliance, if Kenshi's Telekinetic Contortion Fatality is performed on Kano, only his real eye pops out.
- Kano appears as a hidden boss in Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, and all the Black Dragon Mercenaries resemble Kano in this game.
- In Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, Kano's ending shows him turning into the Mortal Kombat equivalent of the Joker as the kombat rage drives him insane.
- In each game Kano is absent, he either makes a cameo imprisoned, a substitute fighter from the Black Dragon borrows his techniques, or both during Deception when Kira was introduced.
- In Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, Kano's alternate costume resembles his MK outfit, while if both players chose Kano as their characters his second color will resemble his UMK3 outfit.
- In MK 2011 Kano, along with Jax, has an X-Ray that deals 41% damage - the most damaging of all of the playable characters.
- Their X-Ray Moves are two of three that cannot be blocked, along with Sheeva's X-Ray move.
- Richard Divizio once stated that Kano's favorite food is White Castle hamburgers. However, this likely just means that they are Richard Divizio's favorite food as well. [2]

- Kano's official theme is titled, "Use Your Might."
- In one of the scene of the Mortal Kombat movie, as Kano and Goro are eating together, Kano says, "I believe in a fair fight." But during Mortal Kombat (2011) Kano says to Sonya, "I don't do fair."

Progress Academy was founded by Tim & Niqui Chatfield, the parents of 5 children, who simply wanted options when it came to education. Parenting for 22 years has given us a unique perspective on education; our children educating us on parenting, and us introducing the world to these five newcomers. We have made many educational choices, and the best thing we discovered was that as parents we DO have choices in educating our children.
Our experience has demonstrated that learning outside the traditional classroom is a viable and competitive option. Now with Progress Academy, we can share this with families all over the world. Progress offers an alternative to the customary brick and mortar academic culture, an innovative approach to introducing the principles of school while continuing a nurturing environment at home.
We have developed key strategic partnerships with some of the best known and most respected educational organizations in the industry. This enables Progress Academy to provide an innovative and comprehensive learning system to families seeking a better-quality educational experience. Our teachers, technicians and support staff are constantly writing new courses, updating resources and providing excellent technical support to our students and families.
As a family who continues to learn together, exploring our world day to day; choosing an online school allows us the freedom to develop our talents and interests together. And through Progress Academy, a program for students to use anytime, anywhere, we want to inspire families to learn more about each other.

Re: Photographer at the convention?
There are actually several photographers who do really good work that go to conventions all the time. I know Starrfall Photography is going to be there Saturday, I've had pictures taken with her before and they're really good! Midday Enchantments Photography will also be there, and usually someone from Nerd Caliber Magazine. Most con photographers that I know of actually will do it for free or for a low price if you want a physical copy of the pictures Look these people up on Facebook! They're probably going to accept sign ups already.
Hope that helps!

Re: Photographer at the convention?
i would most certainly love a free photography session! you were right, Starfall is on facebook..i think i'll have to pass on Midday Enchantment...i guess really just because i don't feel like dealing with paypal. i'd rather it be a case of "okay let's do photos! how much is it? okay here's the cash!"
i will try sending Starfall a message, see if she'll charge or not and discuss. but i'm still open to suggestions!
Re: Photographer at the convention?
I'm starting in photography and have some stuff I'd like to try out. I plan to take pics as usual and pass out little cards to my site so people can download them for free after the con.

For the twirling Foehlinger family, today's final Nebraska home game marks the end of an era — a time, so to speak, to pass the baton.
Rachel Foehlinger, the youngest of four siblings to have twirled with the Cornhusker Marching Band, will help lead her bandmates into Memorial Stadium for the final time.
"It will be a mix of a lot of emotions," said Rachel, in her fifth year as an NU baton twirler. "I'm thankful for the happy time I've had here. It will be sad leaving, but it's time for someone else to have this amazing experience."
She was about 10, she said, when she watched siblings Tina, Tami and Bobby twirling with the Husker band.
She loved the pregame tradition of the band's march across campus and up 10th Street. Generations of band members have done so, singing "The Band Song," based on the music of "Song of the Vagabonds."
The 301-member band known as The Pride of All Nebraska proudly sings:
Hear the trumpets playin',
hear the crowd a-sayin'
NU�Band is on parade!
Hear the trombones blowin',
hear the drums a-rollin',
NU Band is on parade!
Sound out, sound out,
sound out loud and clear!
Let the team all know
the band is here. Sons of
old Nebraska, if someone
should ask ya, we're the
Scarlet and the Cream.
Rachel recalls the first time she marched through throngs of fans toward the stadium in her uniform, singing that song. "It was a dream come true."
Inside the stadium, band members gather under the stands for another ritual, a "Go, Big Red" chant that pumps them up to give it their all. Then they burst onto the field.
"From that moment on," Rachel said, "it's constant adrenaline."
A member of a world-champion baton-twirling troupe, Sue's Stepperettes, she laughs in recalling that while warming up before one Husker game, she hit herself with her fast-�spinning baton and was afraid she had broken her nose.
She hadn't, and there was no blood. But it stunned her.
"I think the sun was in my eyes," she said. "The baton whacked me. I had to shake it off."
The Foehlinger family, from Ralston, says Rachel was born with a baton in her hand.
Her mother, Sue Foehlinger, started the Stepperettes in 1973. For years, more than 400 students a year — mostly girls — have received lessons in baton twirling, dance and pompom.
The average stay, Sue said, is about five years, but some stay 10 to 15. She hasn't counted the total number of students, but it's in the thousands.
Every year she attends weddings of former Stepperettes. Invariably, the bride and friends join in a dance they learned while in the troupe.
Students learn discipline, showmanship and musicianship. Advanced students enter competitions.
The Stepperettes are two-time world champions and hope to defend their title next year in Italy.
Some members, including Rachel, marched in the 2010 Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. A documentary about the organization was produced last year, titled "Twirl Girls."
For the Foehlingers, it's a family affair. Sue's husband, Bob, who works in the insurance industry, serves as the Stepperettes' business manager and travel planner, as well as an occasional humorous "prop."
Once he was led onstage wearing a striped shirt and sunglasses and was introduced as "The Blind Referee." (As with gymnastics and ice skating, judging in twirling is subjective and open to criticism.)
Son Ryan, who teaches French at Millard North, also helps out.
The other four sibs threw themselves into twirling.
Tina became Miss Nebraska 2001 and displayed her twirling skills in the Miss America talent competition. She had joined twin Tami and brother Bobby in marching with the NU band in the 2001 Rose Bowl parade.
Bobby, also a gymnast, performed back handsprings the entire route. "By the end," Sue said, "his hands looked like hamburger."
Bobby was a magnetic performer and dynamic public speaker, and he was set to return in the fall of 2003 as the Cornhusker band's featured twirler.
That spring, he was driving to Kansas City, Mo., on Interstate 29 when a vehicle crossed the median, went airborne and landed on his car. About 2,200 filled the Ralston High gymnasium for his funeral. He was 21.
"Bobby had stood out, being a guy, and got a lot of notoriety on the world level," Sue said. "It's been 10 years, but there's not a competition I judge or a place I go without his name coming up multiple times. People just loved watching him twirl."
The Foehlingers traveled to Denver for Thanksgiving to see Tina's new baby, but they booked a Thursday night flight home so they can be in Lincoln for Rachel's final home game.
Sue is proud of all her Stepperette twirlers, and a few have gained prominent roles. Jennifer Curtis spent two years twirling at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and then two years for NU. Leah Woodland twirled for the University of Arizona.
Rachel isn't the sole twirler this year for Nebraska. The other is freshman Morgan Miller of Hollidaysburg, Pa.
They don't receive scholarships, but their handmade costumes are paid for.
The band, under director Anthony M. Falcone, rehearses each school day at 7 a.m. and puts in a full day when there is a game, including a two-hour rehearsal.
About 85 percent of the band members are from Nebraska. Seniors will be introduced today, including drum majors Andrew Kroeger of Omaha, Ali Malik of Lincoln and Nicholas Raimondi of Deerfield, Ill.
Rachel, who graduates next May with a major in advertising and a minor in dance, will go to work full time for the Stepperettes, joining her mother and sister Tami.
Rachel said she was fortunate to have become a band twirler as a freshman and to stay for five years. She looks forward to attending band alumni days.
But today, in front of 90,000 people, she runs into Memorial Stadium for one last time as a featured twirler for the Cornhusker Marching Band — and one more adrenaline rush.

Upper World
If sadness
is akin to patience,
we're back!
Pattern recognition
was our first response
to loneliness.
Here and there were like
one place.
But we need to triangulate,
find someone to show.
There's a jolt, quasi-electric,
when one of our myths
reverts to abstraction.
Now we all know
every name's Eurydice,
briefly returned
from blankness
and the way back
won't bear scrutiny.
High voices
over rapid-pulsing synthesizers
intone, "without you"—
which is soothing.
We prefer meta-significance:
the way the clouds exchange
white scraps
in glory.
No more wishes.
No more bungalows
behind car-washes
painted the color of
swimming pools

A Post from a Concerned Knicks fan to Celtics' fans
posted at 4/15/2013 9:18 PM EDT
I just want to wish you all up in Boston a tremendous amount of safety and peace in your lives. Although we cheer for different teams, at the end of the day we are all Americans, and some things take a back seat.
I am still in shock, and I hope no one on this board has lost anyone and your families are all safe tonight. Please be diligent as you make your way through Boston tomorrow and in the near future, some times, these things come in threes.
The time to talk smack, talk about Cheerios, and the Knicks making three will come some time soon, but for now please be safe.
You are in the prayers of every New Yorker.
God Bless.

Its reassuring that there are some responsible poeple roaming the forums, unlike another out of town forum where some are actually hiding behind their computer and joking about the tragedy. Sick cowards. Boston and NY are like brothers who fight. We are in close proximity and more alike, compared to other cities.
Here's hoping for a competitive series!

Competion is great, appreciate the shout out of support NY. What happend at the Boston Marathon brings back memories of 911. Two cities that now have lived this kind of crap understand what it means to stand strong.

Not a problem guys. Some of the toughest and smartest human beings have come from the Northeast, that's why there's this Northeast bias against us.
Others places would be crippled by this, but our kind is strong up here, and we will overcome this.
America was born and fortified up here and Boston is one of the main reason why.
Just be safe out there.

Agreed...I live in West Coast and can really say, the rudeness and lack of class is rampant.(.Dodger fans killing Giant fans).but not all of us...I know I would love Boston or NY but can't handle the cold...brr..
Not one Laker fan has responded as have Knick fans...hmmm? We are all Americans and we all need be vigilant irrespective of where we live in our great country. No specific area has a monopoly on kooks, sickos etc.
And yes, Boston & NY are neighbors and, despite intense sports rivalries, we are brothers. SF and Los Angeles are not...LA is a big sprawling smog infested metropolis that I would not call quaint. SF & San Diego too are more like Boston with a waterfront within walking distance of the city. LA goes out miles to Santa Monica to the Ocean.
I am first a Boston teams fan as I spent my first 21 years in Maine before USMC called me away---roots run deep---but also a local team fan( SF area only). One of the reasons I love SF(the West Coast Bay Area)…been here 45 years---is that it is very similar to Boston, a nice quaint town, hills, seafood, a great walking around city and the Bay of SF.
God Bless Us All & God Bless America !!!

I was in Boston to celebrate Patriot's Day....saw a great game at Fenway and was looking forward to the game in the Garden the next night....we were walking down Boylston Street watching the runners, the crowd...there was laughter, shouts of encouragement, high fives, music....and then we heard what had happened...my buddies and I were about 3 blocks from the finish line when the explosions took place...I've never seen such chaos...police cars and emergency vehicles by the dozens going in every direction...as I think back I feel blessed that we didn't get an earlier start as we headed for the finish line...by the grace of God as the saying goes...
Let the playoffs begin with the chips falling where they will....after what just happened, sports just doesn't seem as important...although Boston is made up of proud and patriotic folks...I can only imagine what the folks in NYC went through during the 9/11 disaster....so let's take a moment to sit back and reflect....at this point, I really don't care if it ends up being the Lakers or the Jazz who make the playoffs....and I'm not as concerned about the Celtics/Knicks series....life is precious...

I have a quick question though, Can iDemocracy virginize my phone for me? people say it can, but on the website it says this "Please DO NOT use this software on an unlocked iPhone!! If your iPhone is unlocked for non-AT&T SIM cards, iTunes will very likely brick it during the upgrade/downgrade process. Virginize it first with any solution out there (or with iDemocracy 2, if you're on or have managed to get to 1.0.2)." ~Thanks

If you're considering changing careers or returning to college, the following list of resources may help you decide if this is the right choice for you.
Adult learners have a different approach to learning. Adults are most likely responsible for their own success and are capable of making decisions once they have the information they need. Most adult learners are women, aged 25-69. Adults are the fastest growing educational demographic. They may have stopped their college education because of military issues, marriage, starting a family, job and family responsibilities, divorce. They seek re-careering options, personal enrichment and job credibility, to be a role model, and make more money.
Malcolm Knowles a pioneer in adult learning, observed that adults learn best when they know why something is important.
Are you looking for reliable information on careers or to help you with career decision making?
You might need to live and/or work in one geographic area, but you can attend college without geographic limitations
Attitude is everything! We are here because we want to learn new information and skills, to become better equipped for life. Success is often a choice we make. Make your education count. Decide you will be open to learning; open to new ideas; open to fully engaging with the information, professor, and students. When here, as well as required classes and topics of interest, select one or two classes in subjects you know nothing about. Get outside of your comfort zone in learning. Choose to have a positive attitude. It really is your decision in whether you have a positive or negative experience. We have a tremendous opportunity that very few people get, just by being Binghamton University students. We are investing money and time, so make it count. Gain everything you can gain while you are here.
Take time to rest and play. If all you do is read and create papers, life is passing you by, and you will quickly crash and burn. Life has to contain moments of fun, enjoyment and love also. Obviously the week before the major project is due is not the time to go on vacation - unless your project is completed and you are celebrating. But working every day 10-12 hours a day is also not good. Take a break now and then from studying. Get up, stretch, move around. Get enough sleep. Try to take one day a week to not do schoolwork or employment duties. Take time to enjoy life
Never pay to have someone locate possible scholarships. This information is available to you online for free.

JMU Major: Psychology
Description of the Major | Degrees Offered | Concentrations | Minors
Declaring the Major | Progressing in the Major
Description of the Major
The major is a part of the Department of Psychology, a program within the College of Health and Behavioral Studies
Students choose to major in psychology for many reasons. Psychology can be students' primary area of interest within a liberal arts education that will lead to many professional opportunities that require a bachelor's degree, or it can be a pre-professional program leading to advanced study in graduate school. The most popular types of graduate programs pursued by graduates of our program during the past three years have been counseling, school psychology, education, psychological science, social work, forensic psychology or criminal justice, behavior analysis, school counseling, law school, and clinical psychology.
Each year hundreds of Psychology students participate in research and service learning projects. Each year approximately 50 complete field placements and 16 complete honors thesis projects. Many of our students take their scholarship to a high level, participating as co-authors with faculty on professional conference presentations. See http://psyc.jmu.edu/ug/videos.html for examples of the accomplishments of Psychology students and faculty.
The Department of Psychology moved to newly renovated and well-equipped facilities in January 2008. See http://psyc.jmu.edu/ug for additional information about the JMU psychology major.
The major is a part of the Department of Psychology, a program within the College of Health and Behavioral StudiesPsychology is the major to consider if studying the area of science that explores how people and animals think, feel and act is of interest. Psychology majors complete coursework that explores behavior, emotions, cognitive processes and the factors that influence them from a variety of perspectives. Psychologists study behavior at both a cellular (e.g. examining the role of the brain and the nervous system) and at a more global level (e.g. examining the influences of culture). As Psychology majors students will enhance their problem-solving, critical thinking, writing and oral expression skills as they learn to use the tools available to behavioral scientists.
Degrees Offered
Behavior Analysis
Declaring the Major
New Freshmen and Transfer Students
Students should declare the Psychology major when they register for orientation.
Currently Enrolled Major Changers
If students wish to change their major to Psychology they should attend an information session conducted by the Psychology Peer Advisers. All paperwork required to change majors is completed at the conclusion of the session. Sessions are typically scheduled throughout the fall and spring semesters. For dates and additional information see http://www.psyc.jmu.edu/ug/incomingfreshman.html.
Other Declaring Information
Admission to the Major
Students who meet all of the following criteria will be allowed to change their status from "declared" to "fully-admitted" and will be permitted to make progress in the psychology major beyond a few preliminary courses. Equivalent courses completed at another university for which the student has earned JMU approved transfer credit are acceptable.
New transfer students who have earned at least 30 JMU approved transfer credits including the prerequisite courses in General Psychology and Math (Statistics or Calculus) or General Psychology and either Psychological Statistics or Research Methods in Psychology are automatically admitted to the major.
Students should apply for full admission during the semester when they expect all requirements to be met. Admission decisions are made at the end of each semester and during the summer.
Student not admitted to the major may reapply the following semester.
Progressing in the Major
A psychology course completed with a "D" grade may be credited towards graduation requirements but not major requirements.
Students must maintain good academic standing with at least a GPA of 2.0.

Island Soap & Candle Works offers a variety of spa-quality soaps handmade in Hawaii. Our natural handmade soap products come in an array of styles, colors and scents to suit nearly any skin type. From glycerin soaps and essential oil soaps to a complete line of coconut soaps, our products infuse the essence of Aloha with every use.
Did you know that the brand name soaps you buy at the supermarket or drug store are actually made using detergents? These detergents are often filled with harsh chemicals such as kerosene, petroleum, alkali and even gasoline. This is the reason that many people experience dry, tight and itchy skin from using regular soap on a daily basis. The very product they are using to take care of their skin is actually damaging it!
Soaps handmade from natural ingredients provide a welcome relief from the irritating effects of conventional soap. Naturally handmade soap can be much more mild and gentle on the skin, without sacrificing any of the cleansing benefits. This makes them ideal for long-term, daily use.
Our soaps are made with naturally saponified vegetable oils in combinations of coconut and palm oil as well as the gourmet soaps additionally adding in olive, macadamia nut and kukui nuts oils and our shea butter soaps adding in the shea butter; all have natural colors, and fragrance and/or essential oils.
People with sensitive skin or certain skin conditions, such as eczema or psoriasis, will especially appreciate the soothing effects of handmade natural soap. The hypoallergenic ingredients come from rich botanicals, essential oils and other organic substances that have been proven over time to calm, refresh and restore even the most inflamed skin.
Coconut soap, for example, is prized throughout the world for its creamy texture and moisturizing benefits. Our premium coconut soap is handmade in Hawaii and comes in exotic varieties such as Plumeria, Guava, Passion Fruit and Jasmine. We also offer a complete line of premium glycerin soaps, which are widely considered to be some of the highest quality soaps available anywhere. Their concentrated levels of organic fatty acid can produce smooth soft, supple results for adults and children of all ages and lifestyles.
In addition to these health and beauty benefits, natural handmade soap is an environmentally friendly alternative to regular soap products. Remember – anything you wash down the drain ends up somewhere, and the detergents and other harsh chemicals found in regular soap have the potential to taint our increasingly fragile environment. Because our soap is 100% biodegradable, you can wash your face, body and hands without worrying about the damaging effects of the product you are using.
So no matter what your skin care needs, Island Soap & Candle Works has a handmade natural soap that is sure to make you feel pampered and refreshed while you are being environmentally responsible.

Comments On Dec 17, 2013:I run MX goggles under the clear screen of my Icon Variant Helmet. These are a tight fit, but once they are in the fully protect my face with the visor up and they are easily run with the visor down. If I am riding as the sun goes down I can simply pull the goggle out and let it hang around my neck for easy day-to-night riding! I have run several other brands of goggles before and none compare to the fit and clarity of the Dragon goggles.

Comments On Mar 13, 2013:These are great goggles, changing lenses takes less than a minute. Only reason I gave 4 stars is they are a little pricy and might be too big for some helmets, but fit well with fly helmets.

Comments On Jan 29, 2013:The quality of these goggles is great. Other then that, the visibility is the biggest thing I noticed. You don't see the nose guard or any frame in your field of view like you do with most goggles. They are also much larger than others so they fill up the entire face opening of an MX helmet. The nose guard covers more of your nose so it stops rocks and branches from hitting you there. I've had many goggles in the past but these are my favorite by far. The only downside is that none of the local stores carry tear-offs for them so order those from Rocky Mountain when you buy the goggles!
