please remind me of the title.
Sony PlayStation
the game doesn't really have a notable story line
a player will have to choose a character or character class, there is a lot of choices (cant remember exactly but...) ranges from soldier, wizard, priest, archer, thief, elf, dwarf (please note elf and dwarf class, kinda unique for the game to make this as "class")...etc (maybe ten or twelve to choose from).
you name your character, cute(or whatever you may call them stubby little guys) 3d graphics, then your off, character would have a few set of skills, goes on an adventure kinda jumps around, the further you travel the stronger the monsters,(bees, crabs <-specifically i remember those crabs, walking plants maybe), occasionally finds loots that can be equipped only to other class (then i ask my brother, "you have a save file of this class?want it?") and so on,
multi-player possible, kinda have some sort of quests too,
i didn't really finish the game,so i cant tell you what happens if you got high level, i was a lazy kid( and i don't really think kids like me would understand that much), i only want to start a character,delete it create a new one...
i wanna play the game now, maybe i can finish it or reach further than what i did in it before.

Commerce Union Bank of Gallatin Wins SBA Financial Champion Award
Submitted on June 07, 2012 at 10:27 AM
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) celebrated National Small Business Week recently with events and award ceremonies. Commerce Union Bank of Gallatin was a winner for Financial Services Champions of the Year. They were nominated by Volunteer State Community College's Tennessee Small Business Development Center (TSBDC) for working with small businesses during the past year. Paula DeBerry from Commerce Union Bank was the recipient of the award at a presentation.
"They've been doing the hard work." says Charles Alexander, Director of the TSBDC. "It would have been easy for them to bury their head in the sand over the last few years. They have been working through tough regulations and rough economic waters to make loans to small businesses in our community."
Over the last 18 months Commerce Union Bank has made several loans to small businesses, from simple lines of credit to a variety of different SBA Loans. The loans have helped small businesses start and grow in Sumner and surrounding counties.
"These award winners represent the many excellent small businesses that we have in the Volunteer State," said Walter Perry, District Director of SBA's Tennessee District Office. "All across Tennessee, our hard working award winners are the very best at what they do."
A complete list of all award winners is available on the National Small Business Week Web site at www.nationalsmallbusinessweek.com.

Really, a quite beautiful map. Those jungles did turn out nicely. I like the way you did the glaciers too.
Another finished map without a WIP thread This one was a personal commission for a role playing group, they wanted a black/white/red thing without labels and decorations, in the style of my "Exculta Mundi et Notum Partes ( )" map. I've never actually made a black/white map before, so it was quite interesting to have to come up with other ways than color to represent different terrain types. I'm especially happy with the jungles in the south, if I may say so myself
Ink on A3, with roads and icons added digitally.
Really, a quite beautiful map. Those jungles did turn out nicely. I like the way you did the glaciers too.
Well done. It reminds me slightly of Fondstads Maps of middle earth.
Nice to see different approaches by you. Most Time i think in B/W and color later on.
Thanks! That's interesting, SK; do you make something like a value sketch before you start coloring? For me, colors usually come first, I get a very fuzzy image in my head with only blocks of color, then I add the details to that. It's always fun to hear about other approaches to try out
My Left Eye is damaged, so i use to have problems in seeing Colors properly. Therefore I have only start using colors since I have a Graphic Tablet and Photoshop. I think in values first yes, color is sonething secundary in my imagination. Well exept Red maybe.
Sorry to hear about your eye problem But I must say it makes your maps even more impressive, which I didn't even think was possible.
Dont needt to. I am used to that eye, you know
I just want to say that I think this is fantastic. I particularly like your handling of forests, and noticed the "transitional forests" in the mid-northern latitudes which are deciduous in the south and transition into evergreen in the north. Very nicely done. I guess you do this in pencil and then ink over it?
Thanks, Nose Goblin! It's pencil first, yes. I'm not brave enough to do it any other way
Nice one Lingon.

A hot topic about television is the "Rebirth of the Sitcom." Most point towards ABC's Modern Family as the harbinger of this latest comedy renaissance on broadcast television. But there are plenty of other sitcoms that are delivering serious viewers – it's not just NCIS, X-Factor, Dancing with the Stars, and the NFL that bring
Mobilizing On-The-Go Moms
Moms are on the go, go, go…carpooling kids, working out of the home and shopping for their families and the holidays. In their roles as breadwinners and caregivers, it is estimated that moms will spend approximately $2.1 trillion in 2011 – up 24% since 1999. Add their "purchase influence" to that and it is easy
A Lesson in Marketing Targeting from the Obese and Overweight
TVB presented at the Marketing Disease Prevention and Awareness: Marketing to the Overweight American Conference September 28, 2011, in Washington, DC.

United DMAs of America
One of the great enduring ideals that we hold about ourselves as Americans is that we are One. However, that's just not entirely true. "One nation" is true – we all stand up for the same flag, struggle to hit all the same notes in the same national anthem, recite the same pledge. But in

A Belize Vacation Vision
From here I really was part of the forest. Light mist hung in the trees and caught the early rays of the sun. Birds awoke from their slumbers and began their usual raucous rituals especially the Macaws and Tucans. Not to be outdone, in the distance, began the cries of the Black Howlers, fighting over territory, mates or just happy to be alive. As usual, basking in the early sun, eying me up, was my resident Green Iguana. He just lay on the railing of my deck as if he owned the place, perhaps he did?

Commenting on the news today (Friday) that the government has abandoned its plans to force all...
The Climate Coalition spans over 100 organisations, from environment and development charities to unions, faith, community and women's groups.
Check them out below, or use the drop down menu to filter by organisation type.
Islamic Foundation for Ecology and Environmental Sciences
The Islamic Foundation for Ecology and Environmental Sciences (IFEES) is a UK registered charity operating internationally, through programmes designed to increase knowledge and awareness, alleviate poverty, combat climate change and deal with other major environmental issues. It collaborates with government bodies, local authorities, NGOs, scholarly and academic institutions, to develop an Islamic science of natural resources management, implement sustainable projects, produce training material and conduct training in key locations.
Islamic Relief
Islamic Relief is an international aid and development charity, which aims to alleviate the suffering of the world's poorest people. Inspired by our Islamic faith and guided by our values, we envisage a caring world where communities are empowered, social obligations are fulfilled and people respond as one to the suffering of others. Exemplifying our Islamic values, we mobilise resources, build partnerships, and develop local capacity regardless of race, political affiliation, gender or belief, and without expecting anything in return.
John Ray Initiative
The John Ray Initiative (JRI) is an educational charity with a vision to bring together scientific and Christian understandings of the environment in a way that can be widely communicated and lead to effective action. It was formed in 1997 in recognition of the urgent need to respond to the global environmental crisis and the challenges of sustainable development and environmental stewardship.
Justice and Peace Scotland
The National Commission for Justice and Peace advises the Scottish Catholic Bishops' Conference in matters relating to social and ecological justice, international peace and human rights, and promotes action in these areas, both locally and nationally. Our current campaigns focus on Asylum and Refugees, Poverty in Scotland, Renewal of Trident, and Climate Change.
Keep it in the Ground
Keep it in the Ground was established following a public meeting in 2013 with Duncan Clark, co-author of The Burning Question, about leaving fossil fuels in the ground. We are campaigning to bring this about. We are working to raise awareness, by running events locally, writing letters, producing information and speaking to people not usually involved with climate issues. We are a community group, part of Transition Town Lewes.
Keep Scotland Beautiful
Keep Scotland Beautiful is the charity that campaigns, acts and educates on a range of local, national and global environmental issues to change behaviour and improve the quality of people's lives and the places they care for. We are committed to making Scotland clean, green and more sustainable.
Leeds TIDAL
Debt, trade, pollution, biodiversity, resource depletion, water scarcity, food security, poverty, climate change… The number of big issues just keeps on growing, threatening our children's futures and the lives of the most vulnerable people on the planet. That's why we're here. Tidal works to support, coordinate and grow global activism in Leeds. We believe that strong, diverse and united grassroots movements are vital to sustainable change, and it's our mission to help global justice activists in this city be as effective as they can possibly be.
Low Carbon Communities Network
The Low Carbon Communities Network links, networks and supports the rapidly growing movement of climate change groups that are forming at local and community level. We encourage the adoption of low carbon and zero carbon technologies and lifestyles at a community level, and to enable groups engaged in this to be as effective and efficient as possible. We make the most of the opportunities that the web presents in building communities and sharing information online.
MADE in Europe
MADE in Europe works to mobilise young Muslims to take action on global poverty issues such as climate change, maternal health and trade through campaigning, volunteering and education.
Medact is a London-based health charity designed to enable health professionals to act on the social, political, ecological and economic determinants of health and health inequality. We are a charity for and of health professionals and others working to improve health worldwide. It conducts research and analysis. It campaigns and lobbies. It educates and informs. It is independent of powerful interest groups. It sees health through the lens of social justice.

Newark, NJ (Sports Network) - Nate Thompson tallied twice and added an assist
on Tuesday to help the Tampa Bay Lightning put the brakes on a five-game skid
with a 5-2 win over the New Jersey Devils at Prudential Center.
Martin St. Louis and Alexander Killorn each registered a goal and an assist,
while Anders Lindback made 25 saves in the victory.
New Jersey netminder Johan Hedberg allowed three goals on 11 shots before
being pulled in the second period. Rookie goaltender Keith Kinkaid stopped 12-
of-13 shots in his first NHL appearance, but it wasn't enough, as the Devils
dropped their sixth straight decision.
Adam Henrique and Patrik Elias each scored once in the setback.

Members of Parliament-elect set to elect the speaker on Friday, have said the person must stand for the truth, defend national interest and not favour particular groups or party.
Speaking here in an exclusive interview with The Guardian yesterday, some openly said they preferred the outgoing speaker to continue running the House.
Others however warned that the new parliament has new faces and more opposition members, demanding that the speaker be someone capable of handling the changed scenario.
Longido (CCM) MP-elect, Michael Lekule Laizer said the new House needs a Speaker who stands for the truth and has the interest of the country at heart.
"We need a person who will not be looking after the interests of certain groups of people or groups within a party. Nor do we want a speaker who will be leading the Parliament under the influence of some few people or groups," he said.
Ngorongoro CCM MP-elect – Kaika Saning'o Telele was of the same view, but added that they wanted a speaker who will continue to administer the House effectively and efficiently.
"We want a Speaker who will stand for the national interests and who does not favour particular groups," he stressed.
New Nzega CCM MP-elect Dr Hamis Kigwangallah told this paper that he expected a Speaker who is balanced and who would give equal opportunities to all members of parliament, regardless of party affiliation, the chance to contribute ideas for the development of the nation.
"We want a Speaker who is aware of what is happening around the world; who can ensure there is true democracy in the House and give the MPs liberty to speak out, so that at the end of the day the nation benefits. We do not want somebody who will gag us," said Dr Kigwangallah.
Maswa West (Chadema) MP-elect, John Shibuda advised the ruling party to elect somebody with vision to lead the House.
He advised CCM's Central Committee to carefully scrutinise the applicants and pick a person who will lead the House in the right direction.
Reports from within the ruling party said today the Central Committee will meet to pick three names to be forwarded to CCM MPs who will pick one of them to vie for the Speaker's seat.
Habibu Mnyaa MP-elect for Mkanyageni (CUF) said he preferred the outgoing Speaker to continue leading the National Assembly, adding that he has brought positive changes in the House.
"We want a Speaker who is strong, so that he can control the House," he said.
Mbeya Urban Chadema MP-elect, Joseph Mbilinyi said the new speaker has to give equal chance to all MPs to debate on issues of national interest.
"We do not need a speaker who will only look after his party's interests. We need somebody who will not be biased," said Mbilinyi.
Dr Festus Limbu (CCM, Magu) said people want a speaker who will harmonise the three pillars, namely the Executive, Judiciary and Legislature and successfully resolve antagonisms that might be generated in the House.
Dr Limbu said the speaker has to keep in mind that for the first time the Parliament will have more MPs from the opposition side.
"We want somebody who can run the debates without favouring his party. But we need a person who has great experience in leading the House, and must ensure that the budget which is actually spent on the projects stated and not otherwise," said Dr Limbu.
Dr Athumani Mfutakamba CCM MP-elect for Igalula said he believes in a speaker who will lead the House on the basis of rules and regulations that are set to meet the needs of the people and the country.
Kahama CCM MP-elect, James Lembeli and Mbozi West CCM MP-elect, Godfrey Zambi stated that they were supporting Samuel Sitta for re-election to the Speaker's post, adding that he performed well in the last five years.
They said they wanted him to finish the House improvement programme which he started in 2005.
Already underground campaigns are continuing across party lines here, mounted by those seeking the post.
Meanwhile MPs began arriving in Dodoma yesterday, ready for registration today.

Listen to Vin Scully call Cubs vs. Dodgers game from 1957
I could hardly wait to share the gem I discovered this week at archive.org. Available under 'Old Time Radio Programs' is a free download of a radio broadcast between the Cubs and Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field on
June 4, 1957.
You can listen to the game by clicking here.
The download is of the Dodgers' broadcast and begins with Jerry Doggett, the radio man who joined the Dodgers' booth in 1956 (and stayed with the team until 1987).
At the 7:00 mark Doggett turns the duties over to his long-time partner, and legendary play-by-play man, Vin Scully, who began his accomplished career with the Dodgers in 1950 (unbelievable!).
I was giddy with excitement to hear Scully's voice crackle through the speakers, and he begins by informing the audience he's just spilled a cup of coffee in his lap, and on a suite fresh from the cleaners no less!
On this Tuesday afternoon, the Cubs (who would go on to lose 92 games that year) fell to the Dodgers 7-5. The starting pitching matchup featured two players with ties to the Queen City. Cubs starter Dick Drott, a Cincinnati native, against a 21-year-old left-hander from the University of Cincinnati named Sandy Koufax. That, however, is where the similarities ended.
It didn't take long for Duke Snider, Gil Hodges and Roy Campanella to open up the scoring. Campanella, who would leave the game in the third inning after being plunked in the ribs by a pitch (which we're later informed during the broadcast the team doctor says the catcher is 'ok'), doubled home Snider and Hodges in the bottom of the first. The Dodgers plated another run in the inning and then scored three more runs in the third, including a solo HR by Snider, to knock Drott out of the game.
Hodges went deep in the fifth extending Brooklyn's lead to 7-0 after five innings. The Cubs finally broke through against Koufax in the sixth on a line drive, 2-R HR by left fielder Bob Speake. Ernie Banks (.285, 43 HR, 102 RBI), now in his fifth season with Chicago, turned the trick two innings later taking Koufax deep for a 3-R HR, which concluded the scoring for the afternoon.
Koufax (4-2) earned the win lasting 7.2 innings allowing 5-ER on 4 hits. He walked 5 and struck out 12, fanning Banks in his first two at-bats. The eventual Hall of Fame pitcher, who started just 13 games in this season, finished the campaign (5-4, 3.88). Four years later he blossomed into one of the most dominating left-handed pitchers of all time.
The 1957 season was the Dodgers' (84-70) final chapter in Brooklyn. Ebbets Field closed in Sept. after the season ended and was later demolished in 1960. And for those of you wondering, Jackie Robinson had already retired the year prior in 1956.
I wasn't able to catch the entire broadcast, which lasts 3 hours & 2 minutes, and is why I included the game recap so you can skip along to hear some of the more exciting game action (the advertisement are a treat to listen to as well).
But whatever time you do have available, it's well worth the listen, even though the Cubs lost. But, we're use to that by now anyway.

ok so like back in set 4 we had a card that gave both players 1 sp each turn obviously as it wouldn't be balanced if it only gave it to it's owner.
for some odd reason some bright spark decided that the new version of the card would be perfectly fine giving only the owner 1 sp.
i mean seriously.

[Ricardo Moreno, Architecture, Academy of Arts University] I think architecture is misinterpreted to be how pretty or how ugly a building is. I think it's more about how people interact with each other, how they operate within certain parameters that you as an architect are envisioning. I think overall, with architecture and in general, the world is lacking community. Recently I've been working on a group project that is called Impulse. It's a performance center. The whole idea was to attract people from the city to this isolated part of town. Impulse is based on an exploration with a module, replicating it with different variations of the same sort of DNA. The generation of a physical model starts with the idea sketching and then refining. You go straight ahead into Illustrator and start sketching in a more rigid way where you control the vectors precisely. One thing that is really helpful with the Creative Cloud is that you don't have to transport your files. With the Creative Cloud it's just a matter of uploading it to the Cloud, going to school, downloading the file, and just printing it. Once you have the modules in Illustrator, you go to a laser cutter. Once you have all those modules, you start to generate the structure or the shell of a building. The architect of the 21st century actually has to be thinking about economical aspects, political aspects, and cultural aspects overall. I think I'm a humanist. I want to see this species go forever. As an architect, I would like to impact the world, actually understanding it, and by understanding it, making it more livable. [Ricardo Moreno #madethis] [Make it with Creative Cloud.]

Home Opinion Columns Buster makes an appearance in Baker
Buster makes an appearance in Baker
A famous visitor walked into my office the other day and he came right over and licked my hand.
I have so few famous visitors, and no previous one had ever licked me, and so this incident, despite the saliva, made a routine day mildly interesting for me.
My guest was Buster. He is the most heavily publicized English bulldog I know.
He's also the only English bulldog I know.
This is not of course any fault of Buster's, and I don't believe my inability to get acquainted with multiple bulldogs ought to diminish Buster's celebrity.
Buster, as you might recall, was the subject of several headlines around here during late May and early June of 2007.
Buster's owner, Forrest Keller of Vashon Island, Wash., rode to Baker City during a Memorial Day weekend motorcycle tour.
Unlike most motorcyclists, Keller doesn't mind riding with a bulldog strapped on the gas tank.
Buster goes along with this, too.
Keller was pretty confident in the harness he designed for Buster until his motorcycle blew a tire while he was riding on Highway 7 near Sumpter on May 27.
Keller's bike went down and Buster wriggled out of the harness.
Keller, who suffered minor injuries, blacked out briefly and when he came around Buster was gone.
For the next week or so Keller searched the pine woods beside the highway.
He never found Buster.
But John and Mariland MacDonald did.
The couple were driving toward Baker City from their home in Sumpter the morning of June 7.
Mariland saw a bulldog standing beside the highway. She hollered Buster's name and the dog trotted right over to the couple's pickup truck.
(Now that I think about it, "trotted" doesn't accurately describe the situation. Bulldogs, with their awkward proportions, might not be physically able to manage the sort of gait that a reasonable person would define as a "trot." Bulldogs can, however, lumber on their oddly bent legs with the best of them.)
No one knows where Buster went after the motorcycle accident, how far he traveled or what he ate to survive for 10 days.
I told Keller, while we stood in the newsroom on Wednesday, that I wished Buster had had a video camera attached to his collar so as to preserve the dog's ordeal for posterity.
Keller figures maybe the coyotes and the cougars mistook Buster for a badger and left him alone. It could be — a bulldog at least superficially resembles a badger, low slung and loose-skinned.
Keller had brought Buster to the Herald office a couple other times but I wasn't there. Co-workers told me about those visits and I was sorry I had missed them. I'm glad I was at work Wednesday.
Buster looked healthier than he did the first time I met him, which was last June a few days after the MacDonalds rescued him. He still had a couple bandages then, and his body lacked that beer keg rotundity that somehow looks just right on a bulldog.
Buster seemed quite hale on Wednesday. He strolled around the office with an air of authority, as though he was entitled to examine its nooks and crannies.
Keller said the accident didn't scare Buster off motorcycles. The dog still relishes open-air rides, although he's more securely attached now.
I suppose it's possible that some other dog's exploits will someday surpass Buster's in the annals of local news.
I doubt it, though, and I sort of hope it never happens.
It seems to me a happy coincidence that the canine that claimed the front page as his own in Baker City would, of all possible breeds, be a bulldog.
I mean who wants to see a chihuahua at the homecoming football game?

Follow us:
By Rabbi Robert Harris | Associate Professor of Bible
posted on February 27, 2010 / 13 Adar 5770
The Torah portion of T'tzavveh continues God's instructions to the Israelites for building the Tabernacle in the Wilderness—the central concern of the previous week's Torah portion (T'rumah) and the next three portions as well (Ki Tissa, Va-yakhel, and P'kudei). Altogether, the Tabernacle and its accoutrements are the most prominent subject matter of the entire last section of the book of Exodus, comprising chapters 25 through 40. These portions cover many details, the precise explanation for many of which remains somewhat uncertain to this very day.
In this commentary, I would like to focus on some of the vestments of Aaron that he wore in his capacity as kohen gadol (High Priest). At the beginning of Exodus 28, the Torah commands that the Israelites who are skilled artisans should prepare a specific list of items for Aaron and the priests to wear:
You shall bring forward your brother Aaron, with his sons, from among the Israelites, to serve Me as priests . . . Make sacral vestments for your brother Aaron, for dignity and adornment . . . These are the vestments they are to make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a fringed tunic, a headdress, and a sash. They shall make those sacral vestments for your brother Aaron and his sons, for priestly service to Me . . . (Exod. 28:1-4)
Let us take a closer look at the way in which the Torah describes how Aaron must function vis-à-vis the "clothing items." First, the "ephod" (a garment):
They shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and of fine twisted linen, worked into designs . . . Then take two lazuli stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel . . . attach the two stones to the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, as stones for remembrance of the Israelite people, whose names Aaron shall carry upon his two shoulder-pieces for remembrance before the LORD. (Exod. 28:6-12)
Thus, Aaron is to "carry the names" of the Israelites "for remembrance before the LORD." Later, we shall return to the question of what "carrying" might mean. Secondly, let us examine another of the items, the "breastplate":
You shall make a "breastpiece of decision" (hoshen mishpat), worked into a design; make it in the style of the ephod . . . Set in it mounted stones, in four rows of stones . . . The stones shall correspond in number to the names of the sons of Israel: twelve . . . On the breastpiece make braided chains of corded work in pure gold . . . Aaron shall carry the names of the sons of Israel on the breastpiece of decision over his heart, when he enters the sanctuary, for remembrance before the LORD at all times. 30 Inside the breastpiece of decision you shall place the Urim and Thummim, so that they are over Aaron's heart when he comes before the LORD. Thus Aaron shall carry the instrument of decision for the Israelites over his heart before the LORD at all times. (Exod. 28:15-30)
Once again, Aaron is described as "carrying" (in these instances, the names, again, and the [breastpiece of] decision). Finally, let us look at the "frontlet" (tzitz) that Aaron is to wear on his headdress:
You shall make a frontlet of pure gold and engrave on it the seal inscription: "Holy to the LORD." 37 Suspend it on a cord of blue, so that it may remain on the headdress; it shall remain on the front of the headdress. 38 It shall be on Aaron's forehead, that Aaron may carry any sin arising from the holy things that the Israelites consecrate, from any of their sacred donations; it shall be on his forehead at all times, to win acceptance for them before the LORD. (Exod. 28:36-38)
Here, too, as in each of the other cases, the Torah describes Aaron's function as "carrying" the item, using the Hebrew verb נשׂא (nassa). However, in the first series of commands, the items that Aaron is to carry are physical objects (e.g., stones on the ephod) that function in some unspecified way "on behalf of the Israelites," whereas in the last case Aaron is to carry the sins of the Israelites. Thus, the Torah uses figurative language (a metaphor) to describe sin as though it is a physical burden that is "carried." As it happens, imagining sin as a "burden" is the most typical way in which the Torah describes sin; in later biblical passages, as well as in the vast preponderance of rabbinic literature, sin is imagined as a "debt that must be repaid." For detailed explanation of the figurative language Judaism and Christianity have employed to describe sin, see the wonderful and readable new book by Professor Gary Anderson of Notre Dame University, Sin: A History (Yale University Press).
But back to our parashah: what might the Torah mean that the "frontlet" (or "blossom") on the headdress would enable Aaron to "bear" or "carry away" the sins of the Israelites—an act that is reminiscent of the function of the "scapegoat" on Yom Kippur (see Leviticus 16:22: "Thus the goat shall carry on it all their iniquities to an inaccessible region; and the goat shall be set free in the wilderness")?
Rashi had offered the conventional wisdom of the talmudic Rabbis: the frontlet expiated sins that the kohanim may have committed when performing the sacrificial service. However, while Rashi does see that Aaron bears/carries the burden of the sin that had formerly "rested on" the holy things, the phenomenology of the frontlet itself is not as clear in Rashi's explanation: "Aaron lifts the burden of the sin and (somehow) it follows that the iniquity is dispelled (nimtza mesulak ha-avon)."
Rashbam, Rashi's grandson, goes out of his way to distinguish his explanation from that of his illustrious predecessor—and from every other interpretation that had been offered. He writes: "My grandfather explained [this portion]. I, too, will explain the items in ways that were never explained before" (Rashbam's comment on Exodus 28:6). In his comment on Exodus 28:38, Rashbam attempts to explain the way in which the frontlet functioned:
Aaron will take away any sin through the sacrifices: According to its contextual interpretation (peshat), the verse does not speak about the impurity of sacrifices [offered in an incorrect manner]. Rather this is its explanation: whatever sacrifices the Israelites might bring—whole-burnt offerings, purgation offerings or guilt offerings—to atone for their sins, the frontlet will help, together with the sacrifice, to cause them to be remembered before the Holy One, for receiving favor on behalf of the Israelites and as a remembrance for them, so that they will realize atonement.
Now, to be sure, the idea that a specific priestly implement or tool might "help God," as it were, to "remember" the Israelites during the moment of sacrificial worship, and thereby actually work to create the conditions necessary for their atonement—this idea seems antithetical to the way that most of us think about God. So, however superior Rashbam's contextual reading of the Torah portion might be to that of Rashi, neither reading may speak to our religious sensibilities, the drash that we need to carry within ourselves (!) when we engage the Torah with religious yearnings in our hearts.
Perhaps another way in which both the Bible and subsequent Jewish tradition have understood the Hebrew verb נשׂא (nassa) may help us out of our predicament—even if it does not precisely fit the language of our Torah portion. For this verb, that we have translated "to carry" or "to bear a burden," may also mean "to be lifted up," in the sense of "to exalt" or "to be exalted." In the case of our Torah portion, as in the case of many of the Jewish rituals we perform to this day, and the Jewish ritual objects with which we adorn ourselves and our homes and dining tables—we know that these implements are not totems or actual "power-containing" tools that will "work" on their own. To believe this literally (whether with regard to mezuzot, tefillin, or any other ritual object) is to commit idolatry; or in the Bible's own language, "to worship gods of wood and stone." Ritual objects are not "sacred" in and of themselves—they are only "sacred" if they remind us to perform mitzvot, to become better human beings, to be more compassionate and sensitive towards our fellow human beings, and to be more truly worshipful of the One True God. To invoke an ancient midrash on one of the Levitical tasks (see Deuteronomy 10:8): the Levites may have been the ones charged with carrying the Ark—but it was the Ark that exalted the Levites. There are many implications of this alternative definition of the verb nassa, but perhaps the most prominent one for now is: we should try our hardest to make sure that the burdens we carry will exalt us instead of weighing us down.

Johnny Edgar kept in jail past his scheduled release date, Jodi White wrongfully arrested, according to officials and documents
After roughly 80 days in jail, Johnny Edgar was looking forward to heading home.
It was Feb. 22, a Friday morning, and the Knox County General Session Court judge had dismissed his case.
Edgar, though, didn't get out for another three days.
That's because, officials said, the county's criminal court clerk's office never sent his release papers to the sheriff's department. Without those, he wasn't going anywhere.
"I had to sit there all weekend until Monday morning until I could find out what was going on," said Edgar, 33, who was initially picked up on a gun charge. "I had my stuff packed in my cell. I was ready to go, but then had to sit there."
The following Monday, according to an internal Knox County Sheriff's Office memo, Edgar's attorney reached out to authorities, asking why his client wasn't released. The paperwork was eventually pushed through, and he got out.
"I don't want to point fingers but he was supposed to be out," Edgar's attorney, Bill Petty, told WBIR. "We gave the information to the (Criminal) Court Clerk's Office. "They've got a lot to do, I'm sure, but this should have taken priority. It's unfortunate but we're glad he's out. But in a perfect world he would have been out on a Friday."
Edgar isn't the only defendant to fall victim in the past year or so to mistakes that officials say originate in the Knox County Criminal Court Clerk's Office, which includes Fourth Circuit Court, General Sessions and Criminal Court.
A WBIR Channel10 investigation discovered more than 20 instances of errors that led to residents wrongly taken into custody or kept in jail for days, sometimes weeks, past their scheduled release dates.
The records, obtained through the state's open records act, and interviews with top ranking county leaders suggest that the mistakes date back to at least July 2012 and occurred as recently as early September.
Officials say criminal court clerk's office workers often fail to update the county's Justice Information Management System, or JIMS, which attorneys, the sheriff's office, and the district attorney's office rely on for the latest information and to make decisions on whether a defendant is up-to-date on payments, court appearances, or community service.
Officials also say that the clerks sometimes fail to bring warrants to the judges to dismiss once the defendant completes his or her probationary requirements.
That means judges often issue invalid warrants and authorities act on them. It also means that some defendants have spent more time in jail than they should.
Knox County Criminal Court Clerk Joy McCroskey said "mistakes happen," but said no one was wrongly arrested due to an error by one of her employees.
Top ranking officials, though, said otherwise.
Here's a snapshot of what officials and records say happened to another defendant:
Jodi White was a year removed from probation when Loudon County authorities in early January pulled her over for speeding.
STORY AND SLIDESHOW: Errors leading to wrongful arrests, according to interviews and documents
"They took us out of the car, searched the car and then came back and told me I had a violation of probation warrant," said White, 33, who was with her boyfriend at the time. "I hadn't been on probation in two years, so I knew it wasn't true. They still arrested me and Knox County came and got me."
Records show that White was picked up on Jan. 8, a little more than a year after she completed her probation requirements. She was released on a $500 cash bond, which officials returned to her the next day when they released her.
However, her car was towed when she was taken into custody. That cost her more than $100, which she never got back, she said.
"I had paid all my probation fines. I had done all the classes, they wanted me to do," said White, who was initially on probation for driving under the influence. "My probation was done and over with. There should have been no violation to start with."
White said recalling the event still upsets her.
"This shouldn't happen to people," she added.
Officials say they're looking into the matter, but they're not sure when it will be fixed.
Knox County Sheriff's Office attorney Carlton "Butch" Bryant said "there's times when they bring people out to the detention facility and the staff there realizes that they're not the right person or that they shouldn't have been picked up."
He added: "I would think we've got a problem, but I think that's for other people to judge. When a fellow is released from the courthouse on Friday and has to spend the weekend in jail, and the only reason he gets out on Monday is because his lawyer calls me and I check into it and we have to request the paperwork to let him out, that's just not right."

In 1974, President Richard Nixon resigned before he could face impeachment proceedings. He was the first and only U.S. president to do so. The economy was stagnant in most countries and the U.S. faced its first energy crisis and long lines at the gas pumps. Pocket calculators were sold for the first time and the Sony Walkman was invented. Southern rock, folk, soft and progressive rock were all in vogue, but the decade is perhaps best known for its disco music and outlandish clothes.
Television westerns mostly died out during the seventies and were replaced by jiggle television. These shows, including Three's Company and Charlie's Angels, had scantily clad women and bawdy humor. The decade also advanced the portrayal of minorities on TV with a record number of shows with main characters of color, including Good Times, the Jeffersons, What's Happening and Sanford and Son.

Looks like a seahorse on the second pic... ^^ I think it looks nice, whats the white border around the edges tho? Sometimes the boxpattern(?) disseapears..
i thought i'd post a first look at what i'm currently working on,
adding caverns to my random dungeon generator.
i'm using the cellular automata algorithm from roguebasin for the rough layout,
and making repeated passes at increasingly finer resolution to achieve the final cavern.
the next step is improving performance. 13 seconds for a small dungeon at screen
resolution is a bit much, and generating a print resolution map is crazy.
after that, parsing the rough layout for rooms.

Looks good. I could wait 13 seconds for it tho - thats no biggie. I think quality is more important than a few seconds wait.

i'm down to about 4 seconds for a standard medium size cavern map,
10 seconds with style, and 2 minutes with style at print scale.
i think i'm done with optimization, unless anyone knows some deep magic
for dealing with cellular automata across 9 million cell arrays.
Last edited by drow; 09-17-2010 at 01:07 AM.
my brain won't stop working on this.
now down to 2 seconds, 5 seconds, and 1 minute.
a colossal cavern only takes 15 seconds, 26 seconds with style.
at print resolution should take about 8 minutes, but the process
consumes all the memory on my machine and grinds to a halt.
I dont know what you are talking about but I like the results ; )

Lamp black is a very opaque, heavily staining black pigment that does not have much covering or tinting power. It is typically the most opaque black in watercolor form. Though a very pure black, it tends to muddy slightly in mixtures. Natural sources may be brownish or bluish in tone because of impurities. When used in oil paints, it is one of the slowest drying pigments, and should not be used in underpainting or applied in layers underneath other colors.
Lamp Black is very lightfast and absolutely permanent. It is used in all techniques in permanent painting.
Carbon itself is not considered hazardous, however other combustion products that are hazardous are often present as impurities when Lamp Black is produced from natural materials. For this reason, commercial preparations of the pigment should be considered slightly toxic. Avoid skin contact and inhalation. Where such impurities are present, Lamp Black is a possible human carcinogen.
Lamp Black is a carbon based black traditionally produced by collecting soot (known as lampblack) from oil lamps. It has been used as a pigment since prehistoric times. It is the black found in Egyptian murals and tomb decorations and was the most popular black for fresco painting until the development of Mars Black.

22 U.S. Code § 2151q - Endangered species
prev | next
(a) Congressional findings and purposes
The Congress finds the survival of many animal and plant species is endangered by over-hunting, by the presence of toxic chemicals in water, air and soil, and by the destruction of habitats. The Congress further finds that the extinction of animal and plant species is an irreparable loss with potentially serious environmental and economic consequences for developing and developed countries alike. Accordingly, the preservation of animal and plant species through the regulation of the hunting and trade in endangered species, through limitations on the pollution of natural ecosystems, and through the protection of wildlife habitats should be an important objective of the United States development assistance.
(b) Remedial measures
In order to preserve biological diversity, the President is authorized to furnish assistance under subchapter I of this chapter, notwithstanding section 2420 of this title, to assist countries in protecting and maintaining wildlife habitats and in developing sound wildlife management and plant conservation programs. Special efforts should be made to establish and maintain wildlife sanctuaries, reserves, and parks; to enact and enforce anti-poaching measures; and to identify, study, and catalog animal and plant species, especially in tropical environments.
(c) Funding level
For fiscal year 1987, not less than $2,500,000 of the funds available to carry out subchapter I of this chapter (excluding funds made available to carry out section 2151b (c)(2) of this title, relating to the Child Survival Fund) shall be allocated for assistance pursuant to subsection (b) of this section for activities which were not funded prior to fiscal year 1987. In addition, the Agency for International Development shall, to the fullest extent possible, continue and increase assistance pursuant to subsection (b) of this section for activities for which assistance was provided in fiscal years prior to fiscal year 1987.
(d) Country analysis requirements
Each country development strategy statement or other country plan prepared by the Agency for International Development shall include an analysis of—
(e) Local involvement
To the fullest extent possible, projects supported under this section shall include close consultation with and involvement of local people at all stages of design and implementation.
(f) PVOs and other nongovernmental organizations
Whenever feasible, the objectives of this section shall be accomplished through projects managed by appropriate private and voluntary organizations, or international, regional, or national nongovernmental organizations, which are active in the region or country where the project is located.
(g) Actions by AID
The Administrator of the Agency for International Development shall—
(2) look to the World Conservation Strategy as an overall guide for actions to conserve biological diversity;
(3) engage in dialogues and exchanges of information with recipient countries which stress the importance of conserving biological diversity for the long-term economic benefit of those countries and which identify and focus on policies of those countries which directly or indirectly contribute to loss of biological diversity;
(4) support training and education efforts which improve the capacity of recipient countries to prevent loss of biological diversity;
(5) whenever possible, enter into long-term agreements in which the recipient country agrees to protect ecosystems or other wildlife habitats recommended for protection by relevant governmental or nongovernmental organizations or as a result of activities undertaken pursuant to paragraph (6), and the United States agrees to provide, subject to obtaining the necessary appropriations, additional assistance necessary for the establishment and maintenance of such protected areas;
(6) support, as necessary and in cooperation with the appropriate governmental and nongovernmental organizations, efforts to identify and survey ecosystems in recipient countries worthy of protection;
(7) cooperate with and support the relevant efforts of other agencies of the United States Government, including the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Park Service, the Forest Service, and the Peace Corps;
(8) review the Agency's environmental regulations and revise them as necessary to ensure that ongoing and proposed actions by the Agency do not inadvertently endanger wildlife species or their critical habitats, harm protected areas, or have other adverse impacts on biological diversity (and shall report to the Congress within a year after October 24, 1986, on the actions taken pursuant to this paragraph);
(9) ensure that environmental profiles sponsored by the Agency include information needed for conservation of biological diversity; and

Steveo920, Sora does not use Wind Release: Violent Wind Palm, please read the talkpage. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Nov 24, 2008 @ 06:11 (UTC)
- Steveo920, when writing articles please remember to use Shippūden and Mouryō. Both "Mouryou" and "Shippuuden" are incorrect. We use hepburn romanization, while those use wapuro romaji. [1] It might also be a good idea to make use of a spell checker while you are editing. Most browsers nowadays have them available, I can give you tips on how to get one working depending on what browser/OS you are using. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Dec 2, 2008 @ 17:14 (UTC)
Steveo920, articles are supposed to be written in past-tense. Please do not write any articles mentioning "currently", the moment a new chapter or arc comes out all of what you've written needs to be re-written because it will be incorrect since "current" is no longer current. Articles are meant to be written so that no matter what time they are read at, how far the reader is in the series, or how long they have existed for, they still are relevant to the reader. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Dec 5, 2008 @ 06:59 (UTC)

- "I'm going to ask you (whom i'm assuming is that Steveo user as well) to please stop reverting the changes that have been made to Tsunade's abilities section. Making another edit after it won't help, there's a history section. But since apparently you need reasons:
- That bit about despite her feminine build is unnecessary since I don't remember seeing a woman in this series that had a masculine build.
- That bit about wielding a kunai with a single finger is fodder since all she did was take the kunai out of Naruto's hand.
- "advanced understanding of the flow of chakra"— she's a medical ninja as stated before.
- The first sentence of the Chakra Reserves and Control has been mentioned one time too many and was shortened to actually talk about her chakra reserves and control.--Cerez365™ 15:39, August 8, 2011 (UTC)"
Also stop making decent edits and then shoving back the fodder that was removed along with it.--Cerez365™ 04:44, August 10, 2011 (UTC)
Itachi article
I keep forgetting I've had problems with you in the past and even though you were banned at some point, you don't learn.
When someone corrects your edit, and even goes as far as to leave a detailed edit summary of why it was changed, stop going around and making more changes and then attempt to sneak the same edit back into the article. I've already explained that the way it was makes it sound like Itachi and Shisui are the only people of the Uchiha that were praised for their dōjutsu prowess.--Cerez365™ 13:01, April 3, 2012 (UTC)

When did Sasuke use that on Itachi's Tsukuyomi? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 02:56, July 31, 2012 (UTC)
- When he reversed Itachi's usage of the technique on Sasuke himself.

We don't list them in infoboxes. The only non-blood relations we list there are spouses, godparents/children, and lovers (though very rarely that last one). Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:40, March 25, 2013 (UTC)
Madara phasing
Maybe it should be brought up again on a talkpage first, to discuss what he did. A similar issue was in case of Yamato--Elveonora (talk) 19:56, June 3, 2013 (UTC)

The Stop Climate Chaos Scotland coalition (SCCS), within which RSPB Scotland is a key player, is the largest and most powerful civil society coalition in Scotland. The coalition is composed with different civil society groups which work together under a common goal: to stop climate chaos. They call on civil society groups in other countries to work together to create momentum for urgent action on climate change, and have produced a short film about the role of SCCS in influencing the Scottish Climate Change Act.
