|Team Info
Team Guy is a team led by Might Guy and was formed a year before the other main Konoha teams of the series. They specialise in close-quarters combat with all of its members using some sort of physical attacks. Guy waited a year before entering them in the Chūnin Exams, though none of his apprentices was promoted at that time.
Later, between the events of Parts I and II, Lee and Tenten became chūnin while Neji Hyūga surpassed his team-mates and rose to the ranks of jōnin. Despite becoming more busy, Neji still goes on missions with his team. Along with the other members of the Konoha 11, Team Guy had decided to kill Sasuke Uchiha in order to prevent war between Konoha and Kumogakure, but were persuaded by Naruto Uzumaki that he would deal with Sasuke alone. During the events of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Neji was among those killed in the line of duty with only three members of Team Guy remaining.
Known Missions
- Rank: D-rank
- Status:
In the aftermath of the Invasion of Konoha, with Naruto substituting for a still recuperating Rock Lee, Tenten is placed in charge of a mission at the Konoha Weapons Research Lab to obtain 1000 shuriken and 1000 kunai.
- Rank: A-rank (S-rank in the anime)
- Status: Success
At the start of Part II, Team Guy is sent to help aid Team Kakashi with saving Gaara from the Akatsuki. To gain entrance into the Akatsuki lair, Team Guy was forced to fight copies of themselves. In the end, they succeeded and Gaara was saved.
- Team Guy is notable for having a more Chinese theme to them: Might Guy and Rock Lee utilising martial arts with the latter's character greatly resembles Bruce Lee, Neji's Gentle Fist fighting style based from baguazhang, and Tenten's attire and fighting style having a Chinese theme.

seventh-round draft picks (249th overall).

The Street Stops Here mixes dramatic tension, high-stakes basketball and the economic recession into a documentary film that packs an authentic, emotional punch. The film is a superb portrait of a small, Jersey City Catholic school (St. Anthony) under pressure financially to keep its doors open while the school's storied basketball program and its inimitable coach Bob Hurley Sr. seek to win their 25th state title. Like the award-winning Hoop Dreams before it, The Street Stops Here depicts the lives of several key seniors, both their off the court struggles to transcend their disadvantaged upbringing as well as their struggle to win their first state championship, However, its Hurley, a former probation officer, who takes center stage throughout the film as the audience gains intimate access to his heavy-handed forms of discipline and tough love approach. A big thumbs up.

While I enjoy the challenge of UD something has to give. All I,m running into is noobs that quit before turn 10 and OPed unimaginative spam. Or sheep using the latest and best meta they can get their hands on.
I've spent untold money on this game and getting pt cards is the best way to fill the holes in my collection.
UD does not work as we have far to few players. An Arena with only lower levs and UD files would be great. Can't you at least set aside one day a week where this happens?
If you do continue with UD as the only real way of getting pt cards then at least make the selection of cards easier. Would it be to much to ask that the cards be at least grouped in sphere? It is way to painstaking to go though that list atm.
If you can't improve UD then get rid of it and give us something that you have thought threw properly and consulted the community with.
This is not how players are treated on other sites. Problems are identified quickly and the community takes part in fixing them.
You wonder why no one plays your game? The people who would potentially play keep away or quit because of the way you blatantly ignore gamers input, and they are not total suckers like me and the rest of the hardcore on here.

Former Prime Minister Dr Salim Ahmed Salim spoke at a book launch in Dar es Salaam a few years ago by arguing, much like Mwalimu J K Nyerere many years before him – in 1967, that it was not only improper but also wrong to measure people's worth by examinations.
He recalled that Tanzania's Founding President was against placing too much emphasis on written examinations and wanted "ambush-type" examinations expunged from the country's education system.
Had Mwalimu had his way, examinations would have been downgraded in government and public esteem. The reason, to paraphrase him, is that they assess a person's ability to learn facts and present them on demand within a time period but do not always succeed in assessing a person's power to reason, character or willingness to serve.
The nature of the results of last year's national Form Four examinations, as released in Dar es Salaam yesterday by the National Examinations Council (NECTA), makes us wonder as to the seriousness and keenness with which the nation considers the wisdom in Mwalimu's observations.
According to NECTA executive secretary Dr Joyce Ndalichako, a number of bizarre incidents involving 3,303 candidates were witnessed during the examinations, the most salient including cases of blatant cheating by way of entering examination rooms armed with all manner of "missiles".
The arsenals comprised things like complete counter books full of "supportive" notes, strategically kept mobile phones apparently meant to facilitate "exchanges of ideas" and unauthorised answer sheets.
There were also cases of the wrong people standing as examinees and therefore sitting for examinations on behalf of others, of several candidates submitting suspiciously identical answers, and of candidates clearly seeking assistance from their colleagues inside the examination room.
But perhaps all the more serious were cases of some examinees resorting to the writing of expletives and Bongo Flava music scripts drawing of sexually offensive cartoons where they were supposed to write answers.
With the findings announced by NECTA, there is little surprise in recent revelations that some primary school pupils "qualified" for secondary school enrolment when they were hardly literate or numerate.
Some previously reported cases of examination cheating at virtually all levels of our education system related to real and imagined leaks of question papers, mainly reaching would-be examinees or people close to them at a price. Fortunately, we are hardly hearing about incidents of this kind these days, though the new-look scenario is as bad and alarming.
Even if we were to ignore the Bongo Flava and cartoon-type incidents as symbolising decadence bordering on insanity, we still need to think very seriously about examinees or their parents, guardians, other relatives or colleagues and acquaintances should go to the odd extent of seeking to pass an examination at all costs.
Like Mwalimu and Dr Salim, we need to sit down and ask ourselves: Schooling is not important for its own sake; so what, indeed, is the purpose of education?
What kind of education do we need? Surely, not the kind that only guarantees us people with magnetic brains who can cram and regurgitate class notes with baffling ease but who would not remember a thing after an exam paper is done.


text: Wild Nothing's video for "Paradise" (on Nocturne), directed by Matthew Amato, stars Michelle Williams and mostly takes place in a plane. We're assuming it's shot on something almost as simple as a phone, and that it took less than a day to make, and maybe even less time than that to conceive. But therein lies the charm. Set to a quiet but vast track by the aptly named band, Williams's journey looks all too familiar, and so, startling. We're used to videos of this caliber and subject matter falling all over our various feeds, made by young bloggers and friends new to travel. We want to watch, but we also want to look away from the vulnerability of the lonely videographer. In this case, we're invited to watch without sensitivity, since a known actor is playing the part of the lost filmmaker. We look out the window with her, we read a book with her, we drink a Coke from a tiny plastic cup with her. And we remember her: the star has taken some big and dramatic roles in the recent past, but to a generation, she'll always be just like us, back then (the moody high schooler, Jen from Dawson's Creek) and sometimes now: still impressed by the hugeness of the world.

She believes that living wrong is easy, but it becomes a daily challenge for Christians to stay on the right path. All of her books reflect that struggle and center on themes of forgiveness—using God's wisdom to instruct us, protect us and direct us—and also give insight on how we should act when going through trials.
When not writing, Jacquelin enjoys spending time with her family playing Scrabble, Monopoly or Uno. You can write to her at: firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Power of Independent Thinking
Clifford Thies on the American Economic Association and Richard T. Ely
Recorded: Monday, November 28, 2011
The American Economic Association (AEA) takes pride in celebrating its founder Richard T. Ely. This pride is strange, given the character of Elys thought, which is revealed in The Independent Review article The Shaping of a Future Presidents Economic Thought: Richard T. Ely and Woodrow Wilson at The Hopkins by Gary M. Pecquet and Clifford F. Thies, as well as the Econ Journal Watch article Richard T. Ely: The Confederate Flag of the AEA? by Clifford F. Thies and Ryan Daza. In this podcast, Thies is interviewed by the economist Lawrence H. White and explores Elys ideas, values, and impact. Thies is the Eldon R. Lindsay Chair of Free Enterprise and Professor of Economics and Finance at Shenandoah University.

We know from national data that four of five college students choose to drink. About two in five students drink in a high-risk way, and this heavy episodic drinking is of major concern. The consequences of high-risk drinking affect students who drink, students who choose not to drink and the university community at large. According to the National Institutes on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, excessive drinking results in 1,700 deaths, 500,000 injuries, 600,000 assaults and 97,000 incidents of sexual assault among college students yearly. These alcohol-related negative outcomes indicate a critical need for effective strategies to reduce high-risk drinking on college campuses.
Clemson University acknowledges the problems associated with underage and high-risk drinking and is committed to promoting the health, safety and personal responsibility of its students. The University provides education, programs and policies to empower students to make responsible decisions in regard to alcohol management.
Redfern Health Center offers comprehensive and integrated services to students, which include preventive education, intervention, assessment feedback, counseling and short-term psychotherapy.

BW002: Enter Iris and Axew!
this wiki
"Enter Iris and Axew" is the second episode in the season Pokémon: Black and White.
Episode Plot
After being struck by lightning, Pikachu is having trouble using its Electric-type attacks... but a second strange thunderstorm heals the Pokemon just as quickly! Attributing the ordeal to the Legendary Pokemon Zekrom, Professors Oak and Juniper agree that further research is needed.
Meanwhile, Team Rocket has arrived in the Unova region and prepares to launch an operation designed to steal both Zekrom and Pikachu! Ash is eager to start his new journey, and armed with a new Pokedex and new Pokeballs, our hero sets out to meet as many Unova Pokemon as he can. While trying to catch a Pidove, Ash runs into a girl named Iris and her Pokemon Axew. It doesn't take long for Team Rocket to launch a plot to steal Pikachu, Pidove and Axew, too! Of course, Ash springs into action, battling his old enemies Jessie, James and Meowth. He gets some help from an unexpected source: Oshawott, who has been following Ash and Pikachu since they left Professor Juniper's lab. Before long, all the Pokemon are safely returned while Team Rocket mysteriously vanishes.
The group visits the Pokemon Center where Nurse Joy restores Pikachu, Axew and Pidove to perfect health. Iris admits that although Ash acts "like a kid", she is impressed with the way he sprang into action when saving their three Pokemon. And Ash wonders out loud why Oshawott helped them out the way it did...
- Pikachu did not destroy a bike, unlike the previous female companions of Ash.
- Ash turns his cap if he is catching a Pokémon.
- Iris is officially introduced in this episode.
- This episode debuts the redesigned Nurse Joy.
- Alyson Leigh Rosenfeld takes over as the voice of Nurse Joy in the English version.
- This is the second time James has no Pokémon on hand and also the first time Jessie has no Pokémon on hand.
- Wobbuffet is no longer a member of Team Rocket as of this episode, due to the fact he isn't native to Unova.
- Just like in the first episode when one of the Pokémon Ash thought was a Pidgey, he threw a rock and he was attacked by a flock of Spearows. Ash captures a Pidove, after they all attack Ash.
- Professor Oak's Live Caster: Poke Balls
- Who's That Pokemon?: Oshawott (US)
- Iris: "Okay, what was that for?!"
Ash: "You see, I was only trying to catch a Pokémon."
Iris: "Oh, so what you're really telling me is I look like a Pokémon. Your Pokédex, is this cute face in there? Tell me! IS IT?!"
- Jessie: "Again is the question, so twerpish indeed."
James: "The answer to come as we feel the need."
Jessie: "Bringing the blinding White light of evil into the future."
James: "Thrusting the hammer of justice down onto the Black darkness of the universe."
Meowth: "And carving our names in the rock of eternity."
Jessie: "The Fiery destroyer, Jessie."
James: "And with Thunderous emotion, I am James."
Meowth: "Wisest of the Wise, Meowth."
Jessie, James and Meowth: "Now gather...under the name of Team Rocket."

In South Africa, a Truth and Reconciliation Commission was established in 1995 to help deal with the effects of apartheid. In Argentina and Chile similar commissions investigated alleged human rights abuses in the 1980s and 90s. Amnesty is sometimes granted to alleged abusers. But that won't be the case in Maine, where a Truth and Reconciliation Commission has been created to uncover the truth about what happened to Wabanaki children forced into foster care. As Susan Sharon reports, the commission this week began what is expected to be at least a two-year process.
The five members of Maine's Truth and Reconciliation Commission aren't judges or lawyers. They don't have subpoena power, can't assess liability or guarantee immunity from prosecution.
And until recently, at least one of them wasn't even aware that, for several decades up until the mid-1990s, native children were plucked out of their communities, forced to give up their language and culture and relocated with white foster families in what is now widely viewed as a misguided attempt to improve their education and welfare.
Sandy White Hawk: "My name is Sandy White Hawk. I'm a Sicangu Lakota from the Rosebud Reservation. I currently live in Minnesota and I'm the founder and director of First Nations Repatriation Institute.""
White Hawk is also one of the newly-seated members of Maine's Truth and Reconciliation Commission. She was brought on board, in part, because of her experience bringing Indian adoptees, their biological families and social workers together. She was also chosen because she, herself, is an adoptee from South Dakota.
"I was born on the Rosebud Reservation and adopted out when I was 18 months old and raised by a white missionary family," she says. "They moved when I was six to Wisconsin, where I was primarily raised. I went home and met my family and took my first steps on my homeland again in 1988."
White Hawk was 35 years old at the time. She says she took one look at the sign that said Sicango and instantly felt like she could breathe again. It was the beginning of a spiritual journey to reconnect with her heritage.
Wearing long, beaded earrings and moccassins, White Hawk appears to have found her way back. But she says hundreds of other native children have not. Some estimates suggest as many as one in four were taken from their tribal homelands and forced into foster care.
The job of Maine's Truth and Reconciliation Commission will be to try to shed light on what happened here in Maine. The effort, which got underway with the seating of the commissioners this week, is expected to take 27 months.
"I was not familiar with the idea that this was a programmatic issue, that this was done as part of public policy, that you'd break up native families - that's pretty striking and I think that's probably why we're here today," says Maine Secretary of State Matt Dunlap.
Dunlap is also serving on the commission, which represents an historic collaboration between Indian nations and a state government, in this case under the leadership of Gov. Paul LePage. The group will be traveling to five tribal territories around the state and taking testimony from people affected by Indian adoption, including foster parents and social workers who took part.
Dunlap says there are some fears about what this could mean for the state in terms of restitution. Included in the history of Wabanaki adoptions are allegations of physical and sexual abuse.
"People outside of state government have said, 'Is this going to lead to reparations?' Well, that's not part of our charge," Dunlap says. "If somebody wants to seek financial damages they can do that now. They don't have to wait for a commission report.
Susan Sharon: "They could file a lawsuit."
Matthew Dunlap: "Absolutely. That's not within our power to make recommendations like that."
But the issue of prosecution has been a thorny one for other Truth and Reconciliation Commissions, especially when no one is ultimately held criminally responsible for the crimes that come to light. That was the case in Greensboro, North Carolina, where a commission was formed to investigate a 1979 social justice rally in which five people were killed and 10 others injured by members of the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacists.
Pat Clark was a member of the commission created in 2004 after two criminal trials. "So those two criminal trials, no one was found guilty," Clark says. "Ultimately, in a third trial that was a civil trial, the police and a couple of white supremacists were found liable for the murder of one of the five people. So for over 25 years there were these victim survivors who felt like justice had not been served."
Clark says in the end the Greensboro commission produced a 500-page report with recommendations to prevent a similar incident from ever happening again. Clark says it's often the small things, the acknowledements of wrongdoing, the apologies, the expressions of support for each other, that do the most good. But she says, ultimately, it will be up to the state of Maine to decide what to do with the information once the commission has finished its work.

Bradycardia (Slow Heart Rate)
Topic Overview
What is bradycardia?
Having bradycardia (say "bray-dee-KAR-dee-uh") means that your heart beats very slowly. For most people, a heart rate of 60 to 100 beats a minute while at rest is considered normal. If your heart beats less than 60 times a minute, it is slower than normal.
A slow heart rate can be normal and healthy. Or it could be a sign of a problem with the heart's electrical system.
For some people, a slow heart rate does not cause any problems. It can be a sign of being very fit. Healthy young adults and athletes often have heart rates of less than 60 beats a minute.
In other people, bradycardia is a sign of a problem with the heart's electrical system. It means that the heart's natural pacemaker isn't working right or that the electrical pathways of the heart are disrupted. In severe forms of bradycardia, the heart beats so slowly that it doesn't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. This can cause symptoms and can be life-threatening.
Men and women age 65 and older are most likely to develop a slow heart rate that needs treatment. As a person ages, the electrical system of the heart often doesn't function normally.
What causes bradycardia?
Bradycardia can be caused by:
- Changes in the heart that are the result of aging.
- Diseases that damage the heart's electrical system. These include coronary artery disease, heart attack, and infections such as endocarditis and myocarditis.
- Conditions that can slow electrical impulses through the heart. Examples include having a low thyroid level (hypothyroidism) or an electrolyte imbalance, such as too much potassium in the blood.
- Some medicines for treating heart problems or high blood pressure, such as beta-blockers, antiarrhythmics, and digoxin.
What are the symptoms?
A very slow heart rate may cause you to:
- Feel dizzy or lightheaded.
- Feel short of breath and find it harder to exercise.
- Feel tired.
- Have chest pain or a feeling that your heart is pounding or fluttering (palpitations).
- Feel confused or have trouble concentrating.
- Faint, if a slow heart rate causes a drop in blood pressure.
Some people don't have symptoms, or their symptoms are so mild that they think they are just part of getting older.
You can find out how fast your heart is beating by taking your pulse. If your heartbeat is slow or uneven, talk to your doctor.
How is bradycardia diagnosed?
Your doctor may take your pulse to diagnose bradycardia. Your doctor might also do a physical exam, ask questions about your past health, and do an electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG). An EKG measures the electrical signals that control heart rhythm.
Bradycardia often comes and goes, so a standard EKG done in the doctor's office may not find it. An EKG can identify bradycardia only if you are actually having it during the test.
You may need to use a portable (ambulatory) electrocardiogram. This lightweight device is also called a Holter monitor or a cardiac event monitor. You wear the monitor for a day or more, and it records your heart rhythm while you go about your daily routine.
You may also have blood tests to find out if another problem is causing your slow heart rate.
How is it treated?
How bradycardia is treated depends on what is causing it. Treatment also depends on the symptoms. If bradycardia doesn't cause symptoms, it usually isn't treated.
- If damage to the heart's electrical system causes your heart to beat too slowly, you will probably need to have a pacemaker. A pacemaker is a device placed under your skin that helps correct the slow heart rate. People older than 65 are most likely to have a type of bradycardia that requires a pacemaker.
- If another medical problem, such as hypothyroidism or an electrolyte imbalance, is causing a slow heart rate, treating that problem may cure the bradycardia.
- If a medicine is causing your heart to beat too slowly, your doctor may adjust the dose or prescribe a different medicine. If you cannot stop taking that medicine, you may need a pacemaker.
The goal of treatment is to raise your heart rate so your body gets the blood it needs. If severe bradycardia isn't treated, it can lead to serious problems. These may include fainting and injuries from fainting, as well as seizures or even death.
What can you do at home for bradycardia?
Bradycardia is often the result of another heart condition, so taking steps to improve your heart health will usually improve your overall health. The best steps you can take are to:
- Control your cholesterol and blood pressure.
- Eat heart-healthy foods.
- Get regular exercise. Your doctor can tell you what level of exercise is safe for you.
- Quit smoking, if you smoke.
Get emergency help if you fainted or if you have chest pains or have severe shortness of breath. Call your doctor right away if your heart rate is slower than usual, you feel like you might pass out, or you notice increased shortness of breath.
Most people who get pacemakers lead normal, active lives. You will need to avoid things that have strong magnetic and electrical fields. These can keep your device from working right. But most electronic equipment and appliances are safe to use.
Your doctor will check your pacemaker regularly. Call your doctor right away if you have symptoms that could mean your device isn't working right, such as:
- Your heartbeat is very fast or slow, skipping, or fluttering.
- You feel dizzy, lightheaded, or like you might faint.
- You have shortness of breath that is new or getting worse.

Salmon numbers leap this year
By: Kristine Guerra and Gloria Young Gold Country News Service
The numbers are low by historical standards but this year's expected 122,000 salmon run on the Sacramento River is promising. "Any improvement is good news because we're so depleted it's near extinction," said Jack Sanchez, president and founder of Save Auburn Ravine Salmon and Steelhead — or SARSAS — on Monday. Sanchez, whose goal is to bring salmon back to the Auburn Ravine and into the Auburn School Park Preserve, said the state's restrictions on commercial and sport fishing for the past couple of years are a major reason for the increase. "I would think another two years of banning professional fishing off the coast would allow the salmon population to recover," he said. "If they weren't the most miraculous creatures on Earth, they'd have been extinct a long time ago. But they are the most amazing survivors in the animal kingdom." Water agencies are also doing their part. "In California, there seems to be a movement among local water companies to provide enough water during the salmon runs to allow the salmon to spawn," Sanchez said. Officials at Nimbus Fish Hatchery, on the American River, said 729 late-fall run Chinook salmon came into the Gold Run facility Thursday. The state-run hatchery harvested 747,000 eggs out of 280 salmon spawned. "We are cautiously optimistic that we will have sufficient fish return to get enough eggs to meet our goal for raising and returning fish into the system, said Harry Morse, public information officer for Nimbus Fish Hatchery. The hatchery is hoping to spawn about 2,500 salmon to get 6 million eggs this year. The hatchery will be spawning Tuesdays and Thursdays until December, Morse said. "Last year, 66,000 fall-run Chinook salon returned to the Sacramento River system," Morse said. "Normally we expect between 120,000 and 180,000 fall-run Chinook salmon." In 2002, more than 800,000 fall Chinook salmon returned to the Sacramento River system — the highest number in recent years, Morse said. According to Sanchez, the number of salmon making the turn into the American River represents only a small percentage of the total salmon run on the Sacramento River. The higher-density run this year means there's more likelihood some of the fish will find their way into the Auburn Ravine tributary. SARSAS has been preparing for the fish, working with state and federal agencies, landowners and water companies to free up waterways for the run. "We've opened eight dams below the city of Lincoln (on the Auburn Ravine)," Sanchez said. "All eight dams are now in compliance with upstream fish passage to allow salmon to reach the city of Lincoln." Once there, there's a limited amount of spawning grounds, he said. Sanchez's ultimate goal is to open the entire 33-mile-long Auburn Ravine for salmon. "There's a concerted effort on the part of fishermen, water companies, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Department of Fish and Game to see the salmon run survive," he said. Salmon season remains restricted this year to conserve the late-fall Chinook run. "This represents more than $200 million loss to the economy," Morse said. "They're a very valuable commodity."

Maid (human life)
Anne was Victoria's older sister and creator. She belonged to a coven that consisted of her, her sister, her creator Hilda, Heidi, Mary and Noela. She and her coven were eliminated by agents of the Volturi, except Heidi who joined them and Victoria who managed to escape.
Anne was the first illegitimate child of a scullery maid and her master. She and her sister Victoria were raised to be hardworking servants from an early age and neither received a proper education. They were eventually able to find employment; Anne as a lady's maid and Victoria as a kitchen drudge. Their master was unkind and was quick to beat them when they did something he found faulty. Over time, the two learned to try to "disappear" during these outbursts. Anne cared a lot for her sister and feared for her safety. Even though these jobs kept them fed, the sisters decided to flee when Victoria was twelve. This turned out to be a bad decision. Without any references, the two could not find any employment. They had no food or shelter, and winter was approaching. Anne then agreed to work for the local pimp as long as Victoria could have shelter with the other girls working there. The situation turned out to be much worse for Anne and almost as bad for Victoria than their old working conditions, but it was better than the streets.
One night, Anne went to find a client and never returned. It is unknown exactly when Anne became a vampire, but it is known that she was created by a vampire named Hilda, who changed her out of pity. She then joined her coven and waited 5 years before she finally learned to control her bloodlust, and decided to go looking for Victoria. She found her sister working as a scullery maid and asked Victoria how her life had been. Unsatisfied with her sister's living conditions, she changed her into a vampire. After Victoria's transformation was complete, she introduced her to her coven members, Hilda, Mary, and Heidi. Noela joined them sometime later.
Anne lived a happy life with her coven until the Volturi came and claimed that they had drawn too much attention from society and executed Hilda for the crime. Heidi was immediately taken in by the Volturi, under the influence of Chelsea's power. Anne and the other three vampires tried to escape, but only Victoria survived, until she was killed on June 15, 2006.
Physical appearance
Anne had mahogany hair and a cream and rose complexion as a human; she was said to have been quite pretty, subjected to the attentions of men in her early adolescence.
Her existence was only mentioned in The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide.

Take the deck of cards, shuffle it, and deal five cards to each player
Revision as of 12:08, 7 November 2007
This is how a game of Dvorak works. You can either start with a deck of cards that somebody else has made (we've got lots of them archived on this site), or you can start with a pile of blank cards and build a new deck from scratch.
Basic rules
Dvorak is played entirely with cards, and there are two types of card - Things and Actions. When you play a Thing card, it goes onto the table in front of you and stays there, possibly having an effect while it's in play; when you play an Action card, it does whatever it does and goes to a discard pile.
Take the deck of cards, shuffle it, and deal five cards to each player (which they hold in their hand where other players can't see). The rest of the cards go in the middle of the table as a draw pile, and whenever a card is discarded or destroyed, it goes into a discard pile.
Starting with a random player, you take turns in order. A turn consists of:-
- Drawing the top card from the draw pile. (If the draw pile's empty,
shuffle the discard pile and turn it over to make a new draw pile.)
- Playing up to two cards from your hand. You can play one Thing and one
Action per turn (or just one of those, or no cards at all).
- Checking your hand size; if you have more than five cards, discard down
to five.
The game continues until somebody meets whatever victory condition the deck has. (Some decks have fixed victory conditions, while others have them written on a card - "when you play this card, you win the game if...")
Making a deck
If you're making a new deck from scratch, you need to prepare an initial set cards before the game begins. Take your pile of blank cards, and distribute it amongst the players.
Before you start creating, the players should agree on a theme for the game ("okay everyone, let's make a pirates versus ninjas game"), and possibly a victory condition ("if you have five pirates or ninjas in play, and none of the other type, you win!"). You can even agree on thematic rules for the deck to make the final game more coherent ("every Thing card has to be either a pirate or a ninja, in some way, and the number of cards in players' hands are conceptually 'money', for effects which let you draw or discard").
Players can then start creating cards, writing them up (with or without a picture) and throwing them into the middle of the table. To get a good sized deck, try to get nine or ten cards from everyone. A useful design tip is to have two different coloured marker pens, one for Things and one for Actions, and to underline the card titles appropriately.
Each player has absolute veto power over the cards being created - if you see something that you don't like, for whatever reason, pick the card out and see what everyone else thinks. A card only makes it into the actual game if everyone is happy with it.
When you're done, you've got a deck of cards - you can now play a game with it, as described above.
Adding and changing cards
You can also add new cards to the game while it's being played - again, just write it up and throw it onto the table. If nobody wants to veto it, it gets shuffled into the draw pile.
If you want to remove a card from the game or just change the wording of it (maybe because it's too powerful, or because it clashes ambiguously with another card), then announce your intention and see what the other players think. If nobody objects, then you can remove or change the card.
Advanced rules
Over the years, the game has developed a few extra, optional rules to cover the sorts of mechanics that tend to come up a lot. Some of the archived decks use them, and you're welcome to adopt them yourself.
Special rules
"Special rules" are additions to the basic game rules to give the game a little more depth. Things like "each player starts with twenty hit points", so that people can make cards that say "every player loses 5 hit points" or "you gain 10 hit points" without having to define what hit points are on every single card.
If you want to add a special rule to the game, suggest it in the same way as a card - if everyone's in favour, it gets added.
Action abilities
One of the early Dvorak decks included a Thing that said "Each turn, instead of playing an Action card, you may destroy a Thing." - you could skip your ability to play an Action to get a special effect from the Thing.
This became so widely used that a shorthand developed for it. Instead of writing "Each turn, instead of playing an Action card", a card would just say "Action:" - whatever's after the colon is what you get to do instead of playing an Action.
This is called an "action ability", and still counts as an Action for the purposes any other cards that affect or react to Actions being played.
Playing cards onto others
If you like, you can specify that some Thing cards can be played "onto" other Thing cards to give them some sort of bonus or penalty (like armour, or equipment, or a brain-sucking alien). A useful rule for these is that if the Thing it was played onto is destroyed or otherwise leaves play, the Thing that was played onto it is destroyed.
Multi-deck Dvorak
Although it's possible to make a normal Dvorak deck where two different 'sides' are in conflict (as in the Day of the Triffids deck), such games either have to be vague (players aren't forced to pick a side, and can change and mix allegiances as much as they like) or include redundancy (players are forced to choose a side at the start of the game, and the other side's cards are useless to them except as discard-fodder).
A more effective way to create such a game is to have separate decks, each deck focusing solely on that side.
Multi-deck Dvorak is played in the same way as normal Dvorak, except that:
- Each player has their own draw and discard pile.
- When a card is destroyed or discarded, it is sent to the discard
pile of the player whose deck it came from.
If playing creatively, new cards are created as normal, going into the creator's deck by default. You can still veto other player's cards, but in this case it might be more useful to resolve disputes by creating a similar card for your own deck - "if you can have something that destroys all my aliens, I'm going to have something that makes you discard your entire hand".
CCG Dvorak
The Dvorak framework has been used to make a few fledgling collectible card games - these typically have a lot of special rules, and involve the group creation of a single, agreed card pool from which players can build their own custom decks.

To save a file, you would normally first leave insert mode by hitting the Esc key one or more times.
Then you type the following (and press Enter):
You can save your file (if modified) and exit Vim at the same time with:
You can save all modified buffers (all open files) with:
For a tweak, you can set Vim to automatically save the current buffer when you hit Esc twice. This can be done by simply adding the following line to your vimrc:
map <Esc><Esc> :w<CR>
Note: In a console, mapping with a single Esc interferes with the Up/Down/Left/Right arrow keys, since these are actually escape sequences and send an Esc followed by a key id. (The reason that hitting Esc in Vim does not always give an immediate response is that Vim first waits a little to see if a key id is following the Esc.)
This would also work.
ino <Leader>:w <Esc>:w<CR>a
I use the following:
nmap <c-s> :w<CR> vmap <c-s> <Esc><c-s>gv imap <c-s> <Esc><c-s> nmap <F2> :update<CR> vmap <F2> <Esc><F2>gv imap <F2> <c-o><F2>
Control-S always saves the file, and, if called from visual mode, restores the visual selection when done. It does not re-enter insert mode, though, so I use it as my quit-insert-mode-and-save macro.
F2 only saves if necessary, and returns the user to insert mode (or restores their visual selection), as needed.
Under UNIX/Linux, in a console or terminal, CTRL-S sends the signal SIGSTOP, which stops the process in foreground until SIGCONT is sent; this is done by CTRL-Q. I'm not sure whether there exists a workaround, because the system catches the keys before Vim gets them.

Fact Sheet: Why Symptom Criteria for Functional Gut Disorders?182
By: W. Grant Thompson, MD, FRCPC
The "functional" gut disorders are syndromes (groups of symptoms) believed to arise from the gastrointestinal tract, but which lack a known cause. The purpose is to update the criteria upon which the diagnoses of functional gut disorders rest.Topics: Anal, Rectal Disorders, Bowel urgency, Dyspepsia, pain in upper abdomen or chest, Esophageal Disorders, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Lower Abdominal Pain, Pelvic Pain
Fact Sheet: Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Heartburn, Dyspepsia: Whats the Difference?226
By: W. Grant Thompson, MD, FRCPC
The anatomical diseases Crohn's, peptic ulcer, and esophagitis have functional counterparts with some similar symptoms; irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), dyspepsia, and functional heartburn, but these cannot be identified by x-ray or gastroscopy. Thus, for the diagnosis of these functional disorders doctors must rely entirely upon the patient's description of his or her symptoms.Topics: Dyspepsia, pain in upper abdomen or chest, Esophageal Disorders, GER, GERD, Heartburn, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Lower Abdominal Pain, Pelvic Pain, Other Disorders/Symptoms, Pain Management

Fact Sheet: Functional Dysphagia507
By: Joel Richter, MD
Functional dysphagia is the sensation of solid and/or liquid foods sticking, lodging, or passing abnormally through the esophagus. It is diagnosed based on symptoms present for at least three months and not associated with anatomic abnormalities, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or well recognized motility disorders such as achalasia [difficulty swallowing due to an absence of peristaltic contractions in the esophagus].Topics: Esophageal Disorders, Swallowing

Fact Sheet: Esophageal Motility Disorders518
Difficulty swallowing liquids or solids, heartburn, regurgitation, and atypical (or non-cardiac) chest pain may be symptoms of an esophageal motility disorder. These disorders are characterized by specific criteria based upon the pressures generated within the esophagus when swallowing occurs.Topics: Esophageal Disorders, Heartburn, Motility, reflux, Swallowing
Fact Sheet: Barrett's Esophagus527
By: W. Grant Thompson, MD, FRCPC; Ronnie Fass, MD
Norman Barrett was a pathologist. In 1950, he described an abnormality in the lining of the lower esophagus that bears his name (i.e., Barrett's esophagus). We now believe that it is due to severe, longstanding, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Significantly, most people with GERD have no such abnormality. Nevertheless, the presence of Barrett's esophagus is an important observation since those who have it are at greater than normal risk of developing cancer of the esophagus. A review of diagnosis, management, and treatment. Revised and updated 2012.Topics: Esophageal Disorders, GER, GERD
Fact Sheet: Achalasia When Swallowing Becomes a Problem533
By: Joel Richter, MD
Achalasia is a motility disorder in which the esophagus empties slowly. Symptoms include the sensation of solids, and usually liquids, hanging up and passing slowly into the stomach. This most often occurs during and after a meal. A review of symptoms, tests, and treatment options.Topics: Esophageal Disorders, Motility, Swallowing
Fact Sheet: Distal Esophageal Spasm (DES) - Formerly Known as Diffuse Esophageal Spasm543
By: R. Matthew Gideon, MD; Philip O. Katz, MD, FACP, FACG
DES is a rare disorder. Usual symptoms are chest pain and trouble swallowing. The chest pain can feel like a heart attack. Tests are needed to diagnose DES. DES does not lead to other serious illnesses. Most patients can be treated successfully. A review.

Member of Parliament for Korogwe Rural constituency Steven Ngonyani, alias Prof Majimarefu, has again called on the government to revoke title deeds of sisal plantations that have been abandoned by owners, proposing that the land should be distributed to the people.
Speaking to this reporter over the weekend, Prof Majimarefu said he was surprised why the government was keeping mum on sisal plantations that had ceased being operative while the people had no farming land.
He complained that some investors in his constituency had abandoned the plantations for so long that they had now turned into hiding places for wild pigs and other dangerous animals.
Majimarefu said the investors' failure to develop the plantations was enough reason to revoke the title deeds.
"Apart from the plantations not being developed … abandonment of farms denies the district council of income that would have come from them … this matter has taken far too long. What is the problem?" he wondered.
"These investors don't seem to care about the law, they have even stopped paying taxes, and they don't abide by the terms of the contracts to occupy the plantations," he said.
He said it was time the law that empowers people to occupy land should also be used to strip of the right to occupy it if one does not abide by the law.
"The government should take stern measures against bogus investors. Land is valuable property and people should not play with it," he emphasized.

The American Society for Surgery of the Hand (ASSH) was established after World War II by a group of surgeons from the armed forces. They wanted to build upon the knowledge that they had gained while treating hand injuries for soldiers, so they planned an annual meeting to continue the exchange of information and explore how to best care for injuries and conditions of the complicated and delicate hand.
Since 1946, ASSH has grown from 35 surgeons, excited about sharing ideas, to over 3,500 members spanning the entire globe who are all dedicated to advancing the science and practice of caring for your hands and arms.
ASSH continues to host its annual meeting to foster the exchange of ideas; ASSH also publishes the peer-reviewed Journal of Hand Surgery, hosts several courses and learning opportunities each year, develops patient education materials, and maintains an online compendium of content about hand and upper extremity surgery on its Hand-e platform.

Comments On Aug 23, 2011:Replaced the OEM Trail Wings on my V-Strom650 with a set of these Battle Wings, have 7,000 miles on the front & rear so far with some cupping on the rear and still have 2-3,000 miles of wear left. Ride this tire year round and it has excellent grip in the Oregon Rain.
The difference in feel, response and handling over the OEM trail wings is night and day. The tires inspire confidence and I will be putting on another set when the time comes. Used dyna-beads in conjunction with these new tires and they run smooth as glass, made me realize how bad the OEM Trail Wings were. You can't go wrong with this tire.

Comments On Jun 08, 2011:Put this on my Vstrom and got about 13k kms. Some cupping, but I haven't rode a tire that didn't. Great sticking to the pavement and average in the gravel.
