Listless Vice skipped through a thick book with a dark brown cover before closing it with a loud smack and placing it a pile of books that was balancing on the small table next to her. This one wasnt good either. Flashing her red eyes up to the shelf again she examined the rest of the books that were stored there. Most of them were clothed in a jacket of dust that must have taken at least a year to grow. With her finger raised she glided along the books until she found another title that captured her interest.
Amn Saecla. (Races of Amn)
Quickly she scanned the index and skipped past Elves, Dwarfs and Beastkin to find the pages about Inuiks. A frown appeared in her forehead as she read the content of the article. While reading she strolled backwards and kicked a chair back so that she could sit down on it. The chair was pretty dusty too, but Vice didnt care about that now. She placed her legs on the table, unintentionally hitting the enormous pile of books that was still trying to stay balanced, making it fall over and land with a lot of noise on the ground.
Hurriedly the owner of the dusty library came running to the noise. Even though he was an elf his face as bleak and bloated, his eyes small and watery, his back crooked like he was carrying a heavy loath. He clearly spent too much time in the pub.
Is everything all right mam? His voice was weak, just like the man self.
Irritated that she had been interrupted by her reading Vice looked up. Frightened under the glance of her red eyes, which seemed to glow up in the dusty and dark library, the man backed away slightly.
Yeah, yeah, fine. Vice waved the man away while turning back to her book. Sighing she flipped through the pages. She halted briefly by one of the pictures of the anatomy of an Inuik and examined how the wings were attached to the back.
The man eyed her wearily, but didnt move away. Maybe he was afraid to leave her with his books or perhaps he was just too scared to move. It was that Vice couldnt enter the library without him otherwise she would just have forced the door open. But things werent always easy. This library held a spell over it that defended it against unwanted visitors. Without the owner Vice couldnt deactivate this spell and would she find a closed door or maybe not even a door at all, she wasnt sure. There were more libraries with this trait as it served for a good protection. Knowledge was dangerous, especially in the hands of those that did not quite understand it. The problem with this spell was only that if the owner died without naming an heir the library could get lost forever. The library in Nayru probably held another method.
Turning more pages Vice halted briefly by a description of the merpeople, but the book didnt seem to know much about them. That was a shame. Closing it with a smack resulted in a cloud of dust in her face. She sneezed, rubbed her nose and placed to book on the now empty table (the rest of the books were still on the ground). Then she stood up again and walked back to the shelf under the observing eyes of the owner.
She knew that he probably tried to figure out what she was up to, but that he was to afraid to ask. It was clear that the library wasnt that popular by the local people, perhaps because of the small collection of books or the fact that a more proper and bigger library was not too far away.
She kneeled and looked on the lowest shelves. The books werent sorted by name or author or anything at all, which was very frustrating, but also had it good sides. When everything was a mess you most of the time found something you did not expect to see. Not that she expected that much in such a poor library, but, hey, if there was anything that Vice learned the last fifty years than it was that everything was possible. Yet it seemed that this trip had been a waste of her time. Sure, that last book was pretty decent, but the rest utterly failed to intrigue her.
She rose back on her feet and looked over her shoulder to the man who was still considering his options: walking away or staying.
The mans eyes shot towards her.
Vice rolled her own eyes. Is it safe to say that these are all the books in the library? You dont have any others that are kept elsewhere or are borrowed at the moment?
The man thought about this for a moment. There are two out at the moment. His creaky voice sounded hollow in the quiet room. One of them being
I found something.
The mans sentence was cut short by a dark red fairy that had suddenly appeared above the mans shoulder. The man, who wasnt at all prepared for that, jumped up and scoffed to the side.
What did you find? Vice asked curious. Nyx was a rather solemn fairy that tended to sound a bit depressive. She wouldnt comment on something unless it was worth commenting on. This was actually fine with Vice, who talked enough for the two of them most of the time.
Summoning from the Abyss Nyx was also always very straight to the point.
Vice mouth fell open. That cant be true. She said. There is no way that Voco e Vorago is here.
I never said it was Voco e Vorago. I said it was called Summoning from the Abyss. Nyx floated over to Vice.
You are aware of the fact that the translation of Voco e Vorago is Summoning from the Abyss, yes?'
I am. Nyx stated. But this is not Voco e Vorage. It is Summoning from the Abyss.
Vice sighed. Sometimes Nyx was even worse than she was when it came to being perky. Show me.
This way. Nyx spread her small wings and lead Vice to the back of the building. The man strolled after them. In the back was a door, hidden behind some piles of books.
Eh, that place is private, mam. The man tried to comment.
Vice shot a glance to him as Nyx hovered before a small hole in the door through which she had probably entered.
Askari in the mean time did his best to find the main square. He had ended up paying for both his and Vice her drinks back at the tavern and he had the feeling that Vice had somehow made him pay those drinks without her being actually there. Slightly pissed now he strolled through the streets of Monark careful not to trip over stones again. He was sure that if he managed to fall again Vice would be there behind him and she would laugh. Loud.
Now is it a fact that most Beastkin have a good sense of direction. Why this is, isnt exactly knows. Most of the researchers stated that it was because of their beastlike appearance that made their instincts come out more.
Askari is probably the only known exception to this trait. His direction skills were far below average which had let too many hilarious (from Vices side) and irritating (from Askaris side) situations in the past. Askari knew that Vice knew that he had a bad sense of direction and he also knew that she knew that he knew that she knew that. It was irritating to say at least. She had left him alone in an unknown and (very) big city probably while knowing that he would get lost. Still she had done it. He was so going to kill her. He could hear her voice already:
You got lost? How? I told you exactly where you had to be.
And he could see her smirk already. He was so not going to let that happen.
Still it happened.
How it exactly happened was not clear, at least not to him, but the fact was that an hour later he still hadnt found the main square and he was currently staring at a sloppy old road with sloppy old houses filled with sloppy old furniture if there was any furniture at all. The stone road had ended long ago.
With a twitching brow he looked back to where he came from, but the view wasnt different. How had he ended up here in the first place? He should have noticed that the stone road changed into a sandy one? Grunting he turned around and trudged back. If he just could revisit all the steps he had set than he should come by the same tavern from which he started, should he not?
Is something the matter, sir?
Quickly Askari turned to the side and his catlike eyes narrowed while they glided over a dark elf in sloppy old clothes. Arg! He thought irritated. Everything here is sloppy and old!
Actually yes, there is. He said turning to the elf unaware of the red eyes behind him. You dont happen to know where the main square is, do ya? I think Im lo... lo... He cursed under his breath. Vice made him say this, it was all her fault. Im lost. He finished.
The red eyes of the dark elf flickered. Im sure I can help you find your way. He said holding out a hand.
Relieved Askari shook it. Thanks, you dont know how much that means to me. So, which way?
Just follow me. The elf said still holding Askaris hand as he pulled him towards an even small street. I know a shortcut.
And eager Askari followed.

Do These Folks Agree With Cameron's "Solution"
Jim Burroway
May 14th, 2007
Dr. Warren Throckmorton has also posted about Paul Cameron's disturbing views expressed in Cameron's article, "Gays in Nazi Germany." Dr. Throckmorton concludes:
Suffice to say that Dr. Cameron is not simply ideologically opposed to homosexuality, he is fixated on "solutions" that I find abhorrent. I call on fellow social conservatives who still refer to the Camerons' work to take a hard look at these posts and reflect on whether someone with such extreme animosity could possibly approach social science data with sufficient objectivity to be trusted.
When Ex-Gay Watch pointed out that Exodus was using Cameron's research, Exodus finally responded by removing those web pages from their web site. On the other hand, NARTH has so far failed to act.
I wonder how many of these individuals, organizations and publishers agree with Paul Cameron's Solution for those who live "parasitic lives"?
E-mail me or leave a comment if you find someone who is using Cameron's "science" and I'll add them to the list.

National Climate Assessment Finds Warming Could Surpass 10 Degrees
The National Climate Assessment was released this week, which summarizes climate change's impacts on the United States, now and in the future. Produced by a team of more than 300 experts and guided by a 60-member Federal Advisory Committee, the study was also extensively reviewed by the public, federal agencies and a panel of the National Academy of Sciences.
The report finds that if greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase, global warming could exceed 10 degrees by the end of the century. A quote from the study's overview says, "This National Climate Assessment concludes that the evidence of human-induced climate change continues to strengthen and that impacts are increasing across the country."
This scientific report is mandated by Congress and is the pinnacle of years of work by hundreds of the nation's leading climate experts. They reviewed the scientific literature and summarized how climate change is affecting our country. The two main conclusions are:
The planet's climate is changing; it is apparent across the U.S. and the last 50 years' worth is chiefly due to human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels.
Extreme weather is on the rise in recent decades and new, stronger evidence confirms that some of these increases are human-caused.
Our homes, food, water and the very air we breathe are being affected.
Global warming is more than something that our children and future generations will face. It is our reality now. Climate change is already affecting our country and economy. Now that the situation is hitting home, perhaps we will start to make the changes we must make to reduce our carbon footprints and fund clean energy projects.
Read the most recent National Climate Assessment's Overview here.
Dangerous Global Appetite for Fossil Fuels
Many people have read in the news about how the United States is tapping into unprecedented natural gas reserves through the process of hydraulic fracturing, also called fracking, where highly pressurized water, sand and chemicals are inserted to fracture shale rock which releases natural gas. Drilling can have environmental impacts such as contamination of ground water, air quality risks, migration of gases and hydraulic fracturing chemicals to the surface, and surface contamination from spills and flowback.
Or they've read about the controversial Keystone XL pipeline project that is seeking approval to move oil extracted from Canada's tar sands down through the western United States to refineries along the Gulf Coast. There is evidence that extracting oil from the sands are increasing levels of cancer-causing compounds in surrounding lakes far beyond natural levels.
The latest news in accessing exotic forms of carbon comes from Japan, where their government announced that they've successfully extracted natural gas from methane hydrates, also called clathrates, buried beneath the sea bed. Clathrates are an ultra-concentrated frozen mix of water and gas. A cubic meter of clathrate contains 164 times as much methane as a cubic meter of methane gas. Extraction of methane hydrates opens up the possibility for a catastrophic release of gas in the form of accidents during the extraction process. Even releasing a small amount of clathrates could contribute significantly to climate change.
Governments and corporations worldwide need to stop spending hundreds of billions of dollars searching for new fossil fuel reserves and discovering ways to extract ever more unusual forms of buried carbon. And we need to stop giving them incentives to do so. Yes, it is hard to want less and do less, but for the sake of our planet's health we need to curb our global appetite for fossil fuels. Let's start by lowering our carbon footprints. Then we need to agree to leave fossil fuel reserves in the ground.
According to a detailed estimate, we need to leave four-fifths of global fossil fuel reserves untouched for a good chance of preventing more than 2°C of global warming. The worst part is we have already identified more underground carbon than we can afford to burn between now and the year 3000. Now is the time to implement a low carbon lifestyle. We should do it for our planet, ourselves and for the sake of future generations.

- "I've got to blend in with the Angels of Death. And they're bikers. [...] By looking like an idiot having a mid-life crisis."
- ―Lester Leroc to Huang Lee.
Lester "King" Leroc is an Elvis impersonator in Grand Theft Auto, appearing in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars as a main character.
According to the Liberty City Police Database, he is known to frequent Burger Shot restaurants and dressed in a "King of Rock" costume. The database also lists him as "Lee Leroc" as opposed to "Lester". He has been arrested on three occasions: once in 1999 for burglary, in 2003 for possession of a controlled substance (namely cocaine) and in 2004 for burglary. He may also be working as a middleman as the LCPD Database states that the Jaoming supply the Angels of Death with narcotics. At one point, Lester tells Huang that he's divorced.
Events of GTA Chinatown Wars
Entering the gang
Lester works as a private investigator who is working undercover inside The Angels of Death for Hsin Jaoming in order to find a traitor among the Triads' ranks. During his undercover job, Lester becomes involved with the leader's girlfriend, Meredith.
As he doesn't know how to ride on a motorcycle, Lester asks Hsin's henchman Huang Lee to pretend to be him and pass the AOD's intiation test. Wearing Lester's spare jacket and riding his bike, Hunag manages to impress the gang by making several stunts and riding their enemies, The Lost Brotherhood, off their turf. He even destroys the Monoglobe, successfully letting Lester into the AOD. The convoy is soon attacked by The Lost, but Huang manage to fend them off and secure the products, giving Lester a chance to speak with the Meredith.
Despite Huang, pretending to be Lester, was successful with the the first test, Lester revealed there is another, final test: selling the gang's merchandise. However, Lester had to prove himself to other members that he wasn't a "narc", leading him to drink and smoke for two days in row. Huang then sells the merchandise for several potential buyers.
Lester later tells Huang that Meredith may know something about the Triad traitor, but only the most respectful members can talk with her, prompting him to agree protecting an AOD convoy carrying the gang's gear. Huang agrees to help and the two ride to meet up with the convoy.
Finally, Lester is hunted by the Angels, who suspect him to having an affair with their leader's woman, after they had an oral sex. As Meredith was about to tell him about the traitor, Lester asks Huang to keep the AOD away from them for a few minutes, as well as telling him not to rise the woman's suspicions. After driving Meredith to his apartment, Huang protect them from the attacking AOD bikers. While not finding who the traitor is, Lester did find that the Angel of Death were innocent.

Roadside memorials are not an unusual site in Maine - a cross or name plate, maybe flowers and stuffed animals or other items that mark the spot of a fatal accident. One lawmaker is proposing a bill aimed at protecting these makeshift shrines from being removed. But members of a legislative panel exploring the issue say the legislation would create more problems than it solves. A.J. Higgins reports.
At the heart of the proposed bill, says its sponsor, is this: "For those who do choose to recognize a place where their loved one died by placing a cross, it is doubly painful if someone steals it," says state Rep. Kathleen Chase, a Republican from Wells.
Chase says her bill would protect roadside memorials that are under three feet tall and placed in a public right of way. "All this bill is basically requesting is to establish a penalty for deliberately destroying or stealing private memorials at the death of a loved one for one year from the death of that loved one," she told colleagues.
Chase's bill, which went before the Legislature's Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee, would create a new Class D crime of "tampering with a private memorial in a public way," punishable by up to a year in jail and a $2,000 fine. It would exempt individuals from prosecution if they've been given written authority by the family to remove the private memorial, or if the memorial has been on site for more than a year or exceeds three feet in height.
But it doesn't do much to address the concerns of municipal highway workers. Kate Dufour of the Maine Municipal Association says her organization opposes the bill because it turns highway crews into potential offenders.
"If a public employee is performing his or her duties and takes down a cross or memorium, are we then responsible or guilty of a Class D crime, and for the fine or imprisonment of doing our jobs? So our concern is that if there is interest in moving forward that you exempt municipal activities within the right of way from this potential crime or conviction," Dufour said.
"It doesn't matter what you do or don't do, you're going to get a call," said Maine Department of Transportation Deputy Commissioner Bruce Van Note.
Van Note says the memorials are already allowed to remain for a period of time. But just as some families want a site marked, says Van Note, others do not. And he says some support the shrines at first, but cannot when memorials begin to deteriorate.
"If it's deteroriated and it's looking a little ratty and we don't do it, you'll get a call from people saying you're allowing stuff on the side of the road, clean it up," Van Note said. "If you do it too early, you're not caring for the family, if you do it too late you are reminding people of an accident they want to move on from. It's one of those situations that I'm not sure there is a way to eliminate all pain here."
Van Note says his department is taking no position on the bill. Committee members on boths sides of the aisle say the bill might cause problems than it attempts to solve. Democratic House Chair Mark Dion says while he understands the grief of those who have lost family and friends in highway accidents, the bill makes him uncomfortable.
"I mean, clearly, there's a tradition that's running up the idea that we should provide it legal protection, and I'm not sure as an individual legislator that we should be doing that," Dion said.
No one spoke before the committee in favor of Chase's bill/

HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) -- Here's a tweet for Brad Keselowski: NASCAR champion.
Roger Penske must like the sound of that, too.
The kid who stole the show at the season-opening Daytona 500 ended the year under the biggest spotlight of them all Sunday, beating five-time champion Jimmie Johnson to deliver the first Sprint Cup championship to Penske Racing.
It's a trophy that had eluded Penske since he first entered NASCAR in 1972. Although his motorsports organization is considered the gold standard of IndyCar racing -- 15 Indianapolis 500 wins -- and his empire has made Penske one of the most successful businessmen in America, his NASCAR team operation was always just average.
Then came Keselowski, the blue collar, Twitter-loving, Michigan native who convinced "The Captain" his NASCAR team could be a winner, too.

Adventures in San Ignacio, Belize
We recently spent three weeks in Belize and, recalling a favorite trip from ten years ago, decided to travel inland to the town of San Ignacio, the capital of the Cayo district in Western Belize. As soon as we headed away from the coast the terrain became more rugged, green and mountainous. My excitement increased as we neared this teaming city. San Ignacio is more highly populated than Ambergris Caye – and I was hopeful that its food culture would be equally extensive.

I'm jonesing for some new glass and will probably buy one or two new Canon lenses before too long. Since I'm at a crossroads on a few - I figured I'd share my pain here for your opinions.
Currently I have:
50mm f/1.4 USM
24-70mm f/2.8 L
70-200mm f/2.8 L IS
I'm waiting for February to see if Canon is putting out any new bodies. I want another 5D, but I'm in holding pattern at the moment.
The glass I'm looking at are for several different purposes.
I need a macro lens before too long. The 500D filter isn't cutting it. But I don't want to pay a lot for my muffler, as it would only be used few and far between.
Tamron (yes, Tamron!) 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro 1:1 $450 after rebate
I'm really into natural light at weddings, so naturally the two that I want the most right now are primes:
Canon 35mm f/1.4 L $1,135
Canon 135mm f/2 L $875 after rebate
It's inevitable that I'll also get an 85mm... but which one? There is no middle ground!
Canon 85mm f/1.2 L $1,950 after rebate
Canon 85mm f/1.8 USM $320 after rebate
And lastly I need a fish: Performance is the same... do I stay a Canon lens snob!?
Canon 15mm f/2.8 Fishy $550 after rebate
Sigma 15mm f/2.8 Fishy $500
So If anyone has experience or opinions about these lenses, please share them. I've read many reviews and have narrowed my search down to these. Thanks!

Yangtze River
Yangtze River delta and sediment discharge to the East China Sea. @ NASA
The Yangtze River, Asia's longest watercourse at about 6300 kilometers, has a basin that holds approximately one third of the population of China. The headwaters of the Yangtze, also termed the Changjiang River, originate in the snow covered Geladaindong Mountains of the Tibetan Plateau at an elevation of about 6000 meters; discharge is to the East China Sea near Shanghai.
The Chinese government has created the world's largest hydroelectric project at the Three Gorges Dam, an activity that has exacted a great toll in environmental impact to the Yangtze River and massive relocation impacts to more than 1.3 million Chinese people.
The drainage basin of the Yangtze River covers an area of approximately 1.81 million square kilometers.
The upper Yangtze basin is considered the part from the headwaters to the Three Gorges area, or a catchment area of approximately one million square kilometers; this upper basin is quite mountainous.
Upper reach of the Three Gorges, with cleared town in foreground, part of the 1.3 million population relocated for the planned inundation. @ C.Michael Hogan
The middle Yangtze basin drains an area of approximately 680,000 square kilometers, as it meanders through the Dongting and Jianghan Lake basins terminating around Hukou.
The lower Yangtze basin runs from Hukou to the East China Sea and includes all of the estuarine portion of the river. The length of the lower Yangtze is about 900 kilometers, and the catchment area of the lower Yangtze basin is approximately 130,000 square kilometers.
After emergence from the steep Three Gorges reach, the Yangtze flow rate is on the order of one to two meters per second. At such flow rates considerable sediment deposition is occurring, well above historic rates. Thus channel bottom characteristics have been altered by silt accretion well upstream of the Three Gorges Dam.
Sediment loading of the middle Yangtze has risen sharply over the laste several decades, mainly due to anthropogenic activities in the steep watershed; these activities include dam related upstream projects, road grading on steep slopes and massive resettlement efforts in relocation of over 1.3 million native people. Prior to this construction the steep slopes bore dense vegetation, untouched for millennia, and limestone outcrops. Present sediment loading from the Three Gorges stretch amounts to roughly 70 million tons per annum of soil, evidenced by the deep brown colour of the river here. Sediment deposition at the Three Gorges Dam site is quite high, since this sediment load from the Three Gorges runoff is essentially trapped behind the dam; discussions with engineers at the Three Gorges Dam do not indicate confidence that the nominal lifetime of the project can be sustained, given the rate of sediment deposition.
Water quality
Lower and middle basins of the Yangtze carry heavy pollutant loads. In the lower Yangtze basin nitrate levels are high, measuring at about 1000 tons per day at Datong; these levels accrue from high applications of chemical fertilizer applied and also considerable loadings of untreated sewage due to the large human population of the basin, with correspondingly little infrastructure for sewage treatment.
Heavy metal concentrations are also high in the lower Yangtze, with measurements of dissolved lead at 0.078 microgram/liter; cadmium (0.024 microgram/liter), chromium (0.57 microgram/liter), copper (1.9 microgram/liter), and nickel (0.50 microgram/liter). Levels of dissolved arsenic have been measured at 3.3 microgram/liter) and zinc at 1.5 microgram/liter), both notably higher by factors of 5.5 and 2.5 respectively than other typical large world rivers. In Yangtze River suspended sediment, arsenic comprises 31 microgram/gram, lead comprises 83 microgram/gram, and nickel comprises 52 micrograms/gram of sediment content; each of these fractions of suspended sediment are at the maximum levels, for example, recommended by the European Union (EU). Cadmium, chromium, zinc and copper percentages of sediment run at twice the EU standard, while mercury in suspended sediment exceeds the percentage recommended by the EU by a factor of four. Given the high flow rates of the Yangtze, the total heavy metal discharge to the East China Sea is massive with 2008 levels at 4600 kilograms (kg) per day of arsenic; 3000 kg per day of lead; 2000 kg per day of nickel. About 6000 tons per day of dissolved organic carbon is also discharged to the East China Sea. Such quantities pose severe ongoing adverse impacts to the East China Sea ecosystem. It should also be noted that these discharge rates and concentrations are on the increase, based upon the trend of the prior two decades.
On May 15, 2006, Chinese news media reported that engineers were pouring the last of the concrete to finish the construction of the massive Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River in central China. The dam is intended to provide flood control and hydroelectric power. When all the generators are operational, Three Gorges will be the largest hydroelectric project in the world.
This pair of images shows the dam in partial completion in July 2000 and again in May 2006. The Yangtze River flows from upper left toward upper right in the images. In 2000, construction along each riverbank had occurred, but sediment-filled water still flowed freely through a narrow channel near the river's south bank (bottom left). A smaller passage closer to the north bank of the river, where the water appears calmer, is likely a system of temporary locks that allowed for boat passage. A second dam bypass appears to be under construction about one kilometer to the north.
By May 15, 2006, the dam spanned the entire river, and a large reservoir had filled behind it, to the northwest. The new reservoir is more than three kilometers across just upstream of the dam. White spray shoots through gates in the center portion of the dam. The former locks are much less prominent, and the new ones to the north appear as a linear arrangement of thin, blue rectangles.

Three Gorges reach of the Yangtze River. @ C.Michael Hogan The upper Yangtze basin consists chiefly of Paleozoic limestone and terrigenous sedimentary rock, with some granitic material. The most downstream element of the upper Yangtze basin is often termed the Sichuan Basin; here the Yangtze cuts through Triassic and Permian material before entering the Three Gorges. The Three Gorges area is a stretch of the Yangtze that runs approximately 660 kilometers, terminating at the site of the Three Gorges Dam. Prior to construction of the dam, the Three Gorges area was a site of exceptional natural beauty; after dam construction the gorge areas were filled with approximately 100 meters in depth of Yangtze water, and considerable amounts of the watershed were graded to achieve logistical support and relocation of over 1.3 people.
The lower Yangtze basin consists of anabranching river structures and Pleistocene coastal terraces. Prior to development of the Three Gorges Dam, the Yangtze Delta was replenished with a copious sediment load reaching the river mouth; however, the dam has now severely limited the natural flow and deposition of sediment to the delta region. Consequently, the integrity of the delta is been compromised, with scouring exceeding deposition, and the very stability of the delta is endangered.
Aquatic biota
Yangtze River dolphin, thought to be extinct. @ Mt.Holyoke College The Yangtze River dolphin, now thought to be extinct, was endemic to the Yangtze River. No more than 100 of the species were thought to survive by the latter part of the twentieth century. Declining water quality exacerbated by the construction of the Three Gorges Dam are thought to have been the chief drivers of extinction.
There are a large number of native fish species in the Yangtze River, largely attributable to the diversity of riverine habitat types encountered in the river's long course. Several endemic benthopelagic species are found in the upper Yangtze, including: Liobagrus kingi, Anabarilius polylepis, Bangana rendahli, Pseudogyrinocheilus prochilus, Sinocyclocheilus grahami and Siniperca roulei. The demersal fish Silurus meridionalis also is found as a middle reach Yangtze River endemic species.
There are several large native demersal fish found in the Yangtze River, chiefly the 250 centimeter (cm) long endangered Yangtze sturgeon (Acipenser dabryanus), the 120 cm Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis), the 200 cm Giant mottled eel (Anguilla marmorata), the 122 cm black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus), the 300 cm Chinese paddlefish (Psephurus gladius), and the 100 cm Silurus meridionalis. Furthermore, there are a few exceptionally large native benthopelagic fishes found in the Yangtze, namely, the 105 cm Silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), the 200 cm Wuchang bream (Megalobrama amblycephala), the 200 cm yellowcheek (Elopichthys bambusa), the 145 cm common carp (Cyprinus carpio carpio), the 122 cm Mongolian redfin (Chanodichthys mongolicus), the 102 cm predatory carp (Chanodichthys erythropterus) and the 100 cm snakehead (Channa argus argus). All fish lengths given are the expected maximum mature adult length for the given species in the Yangtze Basin. All fish species known to exceed one meter in length are listed in the foregoing.
Terrestrial ecoregions
The most downstream reach of the Yangtze, the lower basin, flows through the Changjiang Plain evergreen forests. Middle elevations of the Yangtze basin are exemplified by the Sichuan Basin evergreen broadleaf forests, whose uncultivated areas include evergreen scrub and forests. The highest elevation ecoregion of the Yangtze Basin is the uppermost reach or headwaters catchment area of the Yangtze, known as the Tibetan Plateau alpine shrub and meadows.
Changjiang Plain evergreen forests
The Changjiang Plain evergreen forests extend along floodplains and low hills that prehistorically supported extensive evergreen oak forests (Cyclobalanopsis spp., Castanopsis spp.) associated with laurels (Phoebe spp., Cinnamomum spp., Persea spp.) as well as some tropical forest taxa. Reed swamps surrounded seasonally inundated lake basins. As of 2012, some of this habitat remains. Most, however, has been converted to paddy rice agriculture which produces massive methane emissions contributing to greenhouse gas buildup in the Earth's atmosphere. Hill areas such as the Dabie Shan once supported a climax forest of conifers (Pinus massoniana, Cunninghamia lanceolata) and deciduous broadleaf taxa like birch (Betula spp.) and maple (Acer spp.). Today most of these areas are reduced to shrublands.
Sichuan Basin evergreen broadleaf forests
Original vegetation in the Sichuan Basin evergreen broadleaf forests ecoregion likely consisted of a mixture of subtropical oak (Quercus, Castanopsis), laurels (Lauraceae), and Schima (Theaceae). Diverse laurel species are also native to the basin; Machilus, Lindera, Litsea, and Cinnamomum are some of the more important genera.
Uncultivated areas in the Sichuan Basin include deforested slopes that now support a scrub of Rhododendron, Vaccinium bracteatum and Myrica nana. Places disturbed less recently may support thin stands of the pine Pinus massoniana or Japanese cypress Cryptomeria japonica, many of which have been planted. Limestone areas support scrub and forest vegetation that is florally distinctive, consisting of dyetrees (Platycarya sp.), Sichuan pepper (Zanthoxylum planispinum) and rose (Rosa spp.)
Tibetan Plateau alpine shrub and meadows
Tibetan Plateau alpine shrub and meadows is the ecoregion occupying the headwaters of the Yangtze. As is characteristic of much of the Eastern Himalayan alpine region, aspect determines the physiognomy of the vegetation. South-facing slopes, frequently snow-free and exposed to cold winds during winter, support sedge meadow vegetation while sheltered, north-facing sites support evergreen shrubs such as juniper (Juniperus) and rhododendron (R. setosum and R. cephalanthus). Valley bottoms with stable, well-drained soils support deciduous shrubs, such as cinquefoil (Potentilla fruticosa), the legume (Caragana jubata), and willows (Salix spp). As in other parts of the Tibetan Plateau, local zonation of plant communities is observed on mountain slopes. Shrubs dominate the lower slopes, especially north-facing aspects. Kobresia meadows occur in the higher, drier locations, with cushion plants (Arenaria musciformis and Androsace tapete). Expanses of bare gravel are found at the sub-nival elevations above 5000 meters.
Han Dynasty bronze, recovered from the Three Gorges region. On display at the Museum of the White Emperor. @ C.Michael Hogan One of the earliest large public works projects in China was construction of the Grand Canal, a major link of which was completed in 483 BC, connecting the Yangtze River with the Huai River; this effort was overseen by King Fuchai of Wu as one of the accomplishments of the Spring and Autumn historical period of ancient China.
One of the notable early accomplishments referencing the Yangtze Basin is the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, constructed on the Min River tributary circa 256 BC. This large scale project carried out in the Iron Age allowed a sizable acceleration of sedentary agriculture in the basin. An accomplishment of the Qin Dynasty during the Warring States Period, the project, although modified over the ages, is still in use today.
By the time of the Song Dynasty, the lower Yangtze Basin had become recognized as the most economically productive and affluent regions of the Chinese people. Significant archaeological sites are found throughout the basin, reaching back to prehistoric as well as historic times. Particularly notable sites are found in the Three Gorges area, many of which have been destroyed by inundation via the Three Gorges Dam construction. One of the most curious site types are the hanging coffins , which actually consist of hundreds of individual prehistoric wooden coffins that are perched high on the limestone cliffs, along tributary gorges of the Yangtze. Many of these remarkable coffins are readily visible and survive inundation from the Three Gorges Dam, due to their extreme height. The Shen Nong River manifests an important tributary where such coffins are extant.

Uptown Riders
this wiki
The Uptown Riders are a gang featured in The Lost and Damned. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars and Grand Theft Auto V.
The Uptown Riders are a motorcycle gang. Their members include Malc and DeSean and their headquarters are in Northwood, Liberty City. The club rides Japanese sport bikes and appear to be predominately African-American, much like the Ruff Ryders.
The Uptown Riders did not appear in GTA IV, but are present in The Lost and Damned. Even though Malc seems to be allied with The Lost Brotherhood, the Uptown Riders will still attack Johnny if he is armed. The Uptown Riders are a GTA IV replica of Ruff Ryders.
They too ride Japenese motorcycles through New York City (mainly Harlem) which in GTA they do it in Holland and Northwood of Liberty City.
They are also said to sell mercandise such as clothing, DVDs, books, and motorcycle equipment. You can hear this on the Beat 102.7 or see this on their website.
Their clubhouse is inaccessible, though you can arm wrestle with members of the Uptown Riders outside the clubhouse, but if you're armed or on a bike, they will attack you (same with the Angels of Death when arm wrestling). If you don't want to be attacked, park your bike somewhere away from their clubhouse.
They also appeared in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, but with a more minor role.

Topic Overview
What are ganglions?
Ganglions are small sacs (cysts) filled with fluid that often appear as bumps on the hands and wrists. They can also develop on feet, ankles, knees, or shoulders. A ganglion can grow out of a joint capsule, which surrounds the joint, or a tendon sheath, which covers the tendon (the fibers connecting muscle to bone). Ganglions aren't cancerous.
Most people with ganglions notice that the bumps appear suddenly. Bumps may be very small or bigger than a cherry. Ganglions may get bigger as activity increases and more fluid collects in the sac. They may also shrink and may break and go away on their own.
Anyone can get a ganglion: adults between 15 and 40 years old are most likely to be affected.1 Children don't usually have ganglions, but if they do, the ganglion will very likely go away without any treatment.
What causes ganglions?
Experts don't know the exact cause of ganglions. They may be linked to:
- Inflammation or irritation of the tendon sheath or joint capsule.
- An injury.
- Overuse or repetitive motions, such as those you do at work.
- Arthritis. A common type of ganglion called a mucous cyst ganglion occurs with arthritis of the hands. It usually affects the joint nearest the fingernail.
What are the symptoms?
Ganglions are usually small, painless bumps and do not cause other symptoms.
Sometimes the bump can be tender to the touch, or there can be pain that gets worse with activity or pressure. If the ganglion puts pressure on nearby nerves, you may have tingling in your fingers, hand, or forearm. Some ganglions can weaken your grip or affect joint motion.
How are ganglions diagnosed?
A ganglion can usually be diagnosed based on how it looks and where it is. Your doctor will also feel the bump and shine a light alongside it. If the bump is a ganglion, the light usually shines through it.
You may need an X-ray if your doctor suspects arthritis or injury. Some of the fluid found in the ganglion may be removed and examined. In rare cases, an MRI or ultrasound may be done.
How are they treated?
Ganglions usually don't need treatment, and they often go away on their own. But treatment may be needed if the ganglion causes pain or other symptoms, limits what you can do, affects your bones or ligaments, or gets infected. You may also want treatment if you're bothered by how the bump looks.
Your doctor may treat a ganglion by:
- Giving you a wrist or finger splint to wear.
- Draining fluid from the bump with a needle (aspiration).
- Injecting hydrocortisone into the joint.
- Doing surgery to remove it.
With or without treatment, ganglions may come and go and may get bigger or smaller.
What can you do at home for a ganglion?
- Use a wrist or finger splint for several weeks. This may be all that is needed for the ganglion to shrink and disappear on its own. Make sure that the splint isn't too tight. Numbness, tingling, pain, or coolness in your hand are signs that you need to loosen the splint.
- Do not smash a ganglion with a book or other heavy object. You may break a bone or otherwise injure your wrist by trying this folk remedy, and the ganglion may return anyway.
- Do not try to drain the fluid by poking the ganglion with a pin or any other sharp object. You could cause an infection.
- If the ganglion breaks open on its own and the skin is broken:
- Apply an antibiotic ointment and a bandage. Stop using the ointment if a rash or irritation develops under the bandage.
- Wash the area 2 or 3 times each day to prevent infection.
- Call your doctor if you have signs of infection (increased pain or redness, red streaks, pus coming from the bump, fever).

AIKEN, S.C. -- Aiken Department of Public Safety officers made three arrests after catching three suspects inside a home on Fairfield Street.
The officers responded to the home after a burglary alarm went off around 1 a.m.
At the scene, they found a broken window and saw one of the suspects run away from the window. Another officer saw one of the suspects trying to jump out a window to escape.
Officers surrounded the home and ordered the suspects to come outside, but the suspects did not comply at first.
Eventually, officers were able to arrest 22-year-old Dawayne Tavoris Nickerson, 18-year-old Allen Thyshawn Johnson and 22-year-old Michael Fuller on first-degree burglary charges. All three suspects are being held at the Aiken County Detention Center.

Chris Jericho at Wrestlemania
In about a week and a half, Chris Jericho and Fozzy will be finishing up their tour of Europe. That is conveniently a weekly before Wrestlemania. Rumors are spreading that Jericho will making an appearance at the pay per view.

Hi Ari,
A friend forwarded your blog posting to me and I was delighted to see your kind words and sentiments (that's me in today's photo). It's nice to hear that "classic Easter Parade" is still appreciated. Each year, it seems, fewer and fewer folks dress in the traditional "high style" that was what the whole parade was about from its inception in the 1880's. The "nabobs" would parade up and down Fifth Avenue after leaving Easter morning services and show off their finery. No judgment here--there's room for all styles at the parade--but it can be a bit dismaying to see this tradition increasingly watered down and seeing classic fashion sort of left in the lurch. It's always heartwarming to have people (most of them, in the "Advanced" category) thank me for keeping the tradition of classic, vintage dress represented on Easter (and beyond). And it was especially nice to see your taking notice, too...as well as your lovely commenters. Er...for the record, to the commenter who suggested I may be John Galliano's father...I looked it up..and he's actually older than I am...but no offense taken. If you want to put me in the "Advanced" category....I'll take it! So, again, thanks, and I look forward to following your blog...and especially to seeing your documentary. It looks to be fantastic! Best of luck to you! And feel free (anyone) to friend me on Facebook. I'm a singer/bandleader here in NYC and am always looking for new friends...especially stylish ones like yourselves!
Best always,
Gregory Moore

I didn't see this elegant gentleman over on Fifth Avenue on Easter, but did take lots of photos of other stylish and imaginative folks that I've included in my blog.
I also saw Bill Cunningham, but he was too busy for me to try to photograph.
