Kim Young-Guk
this wiki
Kim Young-Guk (김영국) is a North Korean national who tries to bring "Superdollars", or counterfeit US dollars made overseas, into Liberty City. The first time he tried, in 2003, he failed and was arrested, but fled. The second time however, in 2008, he got help from a friend of his father, Derrick McReary and Derrick's friend Niko Bellic. Derrick and Niko had to protect Kim's boat from the other attacking boats. After doing this succesfully, Derrick and Niko followed Kim to his docking point in Bohan.
Later, Kim became the leader of the Korean Mob in Alderney. Gambetti Family leader, Don Jon Gravelli saw the Korean Mob as a threat and wanted to eliminate Kim. Gravelli soon obtained governmental clearence to do so from his friend working at United Liberty Paper and sent Niko Bellic to Kim's HQ in the restaurant Mr. Fuk's Rice Box.
Niko headed over to the restaurant and after killing all the guards inside, he caught up with Kim, who was fleeing the restaurant. During his last moments, Kim pleads to Niko by telling him he is "good friends with Irish junkie man", meaning Derrick McReary. However Niko ignores him (if Niko had killed Derrick during the mission Blood Brothers, he replies sardonically to Kim that "Irish junkie man is dead") and then kills him.
His name may have been inspired by North Korea's dictator Kim Jong Il, or even "Gook", a derogatory and racist term for Asian people.

- In the game files, there are actually three different facial models for Kim, yet two of them are never seen in-game. One is the one that is seen in the game, of Kim with a rough beard. The second is of Kim with slightly lighter skin, darker eyes and a slight goatee instead of a beard. The third is Kim with light grey hair, very faint eyebrows and clean shaven. It is unknown why these two other models were not used in-game.

Exceptionally qualified students entering their third or fourth year may take a program of independent study provided it has been approved both by the Associate Dean (Studies) and by the Department or Departments principally involved.
A Department may approve an independent study program without permitting it to be counted toward a concentration in that Department. It is, consequently, the responsibility of students taking such programs to ensure that the concentration requirements for a degree will be met.
Requests for such a program must be received by the Office of the Associate Deans (Studies) one month before the start of the first term in which the student intends to undertake the program. Requests must include: i) a detailed outline of the project, including its aims, the topics to be studied, and a preliminary list of readings; ii) the names of the faculty members supervising the project, including the principal coordinator; iii) the number of units for which the project is to substitute, based on an estimate of the amount of work to be covered by the project, taking into account the planned learning hours; and iv) the method by which the student's performance is to be evaluated, and the method by which the grade or grades will be assigned.
The Associate Deans (Studies) may, in consultation with the student and faculty members involved, propose modifications in the project, particularly with respect to the number of units to be assigned to it. The Associate Dean (Studies) may require an interview with the student.
Course numbers assigned to independent study are specified under Course Number in the How to Use the Arts and Science Calendar section of the Calendar. The departmental code assigned to the course will be that of the department which is closest to the material studied, provided it has agreed to take academic responsibility for the project.
Credit will be allowed for successful completion of courses in languages other than English and other than those offered at Queen's provided that:
a) The course is in a modern language, defined as one that is currently used by an existing culture;
b) The course is offered by an accredited university, a school affiliated with such a university or by one of the language schools historically recognized by Queen's;
c) Criteria for determining credit equivalency will be by parameters currently in use for all courses, that is, a grade determined by the host institution, number of contact hours, learning objectives/outcomes, type and number of assignments; and
d) The student has the course approved prior to departure by means of an International Letter of Permission, and supplies appropriate evidence of the above on return.
Credit for such language courses will transfer as LANG P10/3.0, for a first course in a modern language, LANG P11/3.0 for a continuation of LANG P10/3.0, LANG 120/3.0, for an advanced-level course in a modern language and LANG 121/3.0 for a continuation of LANG 120/3.0. LANG credits will not be assessed above the 100 level.
The Admission Regulations govern the admission of students into the Faculty of Arts and Science, whether directly from high school, from another postsecondary institution, or from another Faculty or School within Queen's University.
The following Admission Regulations describe the requirements for admission to the Faculty of Arts and Science. The admission requirements stated in this chapter are minimum requirements, and the standing required for admission may be higher. Preference will be given to applicants with the strongest qualifications. Admission Regulations 1 – 11 present the admission requirements for the various categories of admission. Admission Regulation 12 describes the procedures applicants must follow for admission to on-campus studies, and Admission Regulation 13 describes the procedures applicants must follow for admission to distance studies.
Entering students are ordinarily allowed no credits for previous experience or education up to the level of completion of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent. They may, with the consent of the departments concerned, be permitted to take advanced courses or alternative courses if their previous experience and education so warrant.
All applicants should note that the Queen's University Senate Policy on Student Appeals, Rights and Discipline states that applicants seeking admission to the University or a Program at Queen's may not appeal a decision regarding an individual application, whether or not the applicant is, or has been, a student in another Program at Queen's. By extension, applicants may not appeal any regulation stated in the Admission chapter of the Faculty of Arts and Science Calendar.
The following is a summary of the Admission Regulations:
1. English Language Proficiency
2. Admission with an Ontario Secondary School Diploma
3. Admission with OSSD Equivalent Standing
4. Admission from Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology
5. Admission by Transfer

Students must comply with all the academic regulations of the Faculty, as well as those Senate Policies that govern student conduct and academic progression within the University as a whole.
These regulations state the requirements to be met and the procedures to be followed for the awarding of degrees in the Faculty of Arts and Science. All requests for exceptions to the regulations should be made to the appropriate reviewing body (see Appeal of Academic Decisions). Inquiries concerning Faculty regulations should be made to the Faculty of Arts and Science Faculty Office.

18. Jurisdiction
See the full Academic Regulations
The Appeal Regulations govern the process by which students may appeal decisions regarding academic integrity and other academic matters. These might include: the grade received in an assignment, exam or course; to add or drop a course after the academic deadline; to waive a requirement to withdraw; or to request aegrotat or credit standing in a course. Student's attention is also drawn to the Senate Policy on Students' Appeals, Rights and Discipline (SARD), available from the Senate website at: http://www.queensu.ca/secretariat/senate.html
These regulations outline the special regulations for a student who is attempting more than one undergraduate degree within the Faculty of Arts and Science, either concurrently with a degree from another Faculty or School (Dual Degree) or consecutively when the first degree was obtained either from Queen's University or elsewhere (Second Degree). This section also contains information on the degree upgrade process, wherein a student holding a General (3-year) undergraduate degree from the Faculty of Arts and Science at Queen's may upgrade it to an Honours (4-year) degree.

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful, lovely card called the giant bug. Even though everyone else thought he was lame and ugly, one iczer saw his true beauty.
"Ah, Bug-san," cried the iczer, " Let us go and destroy the horde of falkow files in Folrart."
The bug was deeply moved, for he had never been treated as kindly as the iczer was treating him now. The two shared a passionate kiss, mandible to lips before they walked onward to their destiny to destroy the sea of blue.
And destroy they did. The iczer blessed and cured the giant bug while slowly allowing him to grow great and strong. Even Assassins and Song Sorceress + Shelbies could not defeat the iczer and his pet, for the iczer was clever and packed sylph and a unwanted charity.
"cheap gimmick," said one iczer.
"stupid," said another
"THAT FILE MAKES NO CONCEPTUAL SENSE," raged another (ex) silver-star iczer.
And the iczer saw that the tears of rage was good, and the bug and the iczer grew fat and happy.
But one day, the iczer encounter a file that was not like the others.
"What dark colors you have," Said the iczer.
"That' s because I play Lawtia," cackled the evil opponent.
"How annoying your SP drain is!" exclaimed the iczer.
"That's because of my shades and Soul Skills," laughed the evil opponent.
"That's fine," Said the poor, naive iczer, "My giant bug shall defeat you."
And the evil opponent laugh a cruel and evil laugh, for he knew something that the iczer did not.
"I cast: Corruption!" Croaked the evil opponent!
And the bug's beautiful defense fell to zero, as his glamorous hp was cut down to a mere 30, and his attack reduced to a pitiful 20.
"NOOOOOOO!" Cried the iczer tearfully, "My beautiful bug! What have you done to it?!?!?!"
And the evil opponent squashed the no longer giant bug.

New to caring for Bettas. Help me please!
Hey guys, I'm new here.
Let me start off by saying that I have owned at least 3-4 betta's before when I was much younger (12-14ish). Needless to say, I remember them dying pretty early. My parents were never much into fish care.
Now that I'm much older (19) with a job, I can afford proper care for many new animals. I want to get into fish again, as my only other pet is a Siberian Husky who is my best friend. I figured I would start out slow with a Betta or Goldfish, but Bettas are much more attractive to me.
What I am looking for is the following:
Tank & Size (Petsmart/Petco/Wal-Mart availability if possible) Also looking only to keep the Betta in the tank, so I would prefer it to not be so big.
Heater!! (Brand name and store, if possible). This is probably the most important thing to me right now.
Thermometers (Brand/store)
Food (Brand)
Water Conditioner (Brand)
Live Plant types (I really dislike fake plants, but I am unsure of how much care is needed for live ones in a tank.)
Gravel/Sand (if any)
Filter (Brand/Store) if any.
And lastly, what to look for when buying a Betta. Most of the ones I've seen in my lifetime are kept in really, really small bowls, or plastic cups(how cruel...) But those are the only containers I have ever seen them in. I'm unsure if I'm ever going to find different living conditions.
I need to know how a healthy looking Betta acts and looks as I have NO idea.
If there is anything critical I forgot, then please inform me.
I live in Colorado, where it's still very cold right now. That is why I am putting emphasis on a great heater.
Thanks for any help.

Tank & Size (Petsmart/Petco/Wal-Mart availability if possible)
5g minimum size for a betta on it's own. Some say 2.5g but personally I think this is just too small. Larger tanks are a little more forgiving with paramaters also. I know you only want the betta for now, but if you plan on ever adding more fish then you will need a bigger tank. A 30g is a great starting tank size - not too big, but big enough to give a bit of choice when it comes to stocking. If you're sure that you just want the betta then 5g would be ideal.
For a 5g tank a 25W heater will be plenty. This is a pretty standard sized heater so should be available pretty much anywhere that sells fish.
Go for an internal thermometer. brand and store really isn't important. They're all the same as far as i can see. the sticky ones for outside of the tank give something inbetween tank and room temp, whereas the little internal ones that have a suction cup are more accurate, and only cost £1 or so.
Flakes or pellets (many feed hikari betta pellets) is a good staple diet. Once a week, to vary it a bit and keep your fish in good health feed a meaty food like froxen bloodworm or brineshrimp, and again once a week some shelled froxen peas (defrosted) to help prevent bloating and constipation.
Water Conditioner
I use API Stress Coat. Any dechlorinator should do though.
Live Plant types
Depends entirely on your lighting. Bettas usually enjoy floating plants like elodea to play with. Others would be crypts, jave moss, jave fern etc but again this depends on your lighting.
(Gravel/Sand (if any)
This is entirely down to your personal taste. Your betta won't mind at all. if you're going for planted live plants then a pea sized gravel is usually best. if you wanted to go for heavy planting thn eco complete is probably the best plant-substrate you'll find but it is very expensive and i find that regular pea sized gravel does fine with most plants.
Filter (Brand/Store) if any.
I use Elite Stingray 5. Filters are necessary, but bettas don't like strong currents. I find this one (rated for 5g) has a soft enough output not to stress the fish and since you would be keeping a betta alone then the bioloqad wouldn't be too high and this, in the absence of overfeeding, would be plenty. If you did decide to go for a bigger tank in order to have more fish later on then i find the fluval 2+/3+/4+ filters are quite good to start off with. they have variable outputs so you can adjust it to make it soft enough for your betta. They're easy to maintain and are popular so getting aditional media shouldn't be a problem, and they have a wee clogging indicator thing which I think could be useful for anyone new and not sure exactly how to maintain a filter. I use the 4+ in my community, and aside from the points i already mentioned I do actually think it's a good wee filter.

Thanks for the great reply! Allow me to recap, then.
Tank and Size - Alright, I think I'll go with a 5 gallon one then. Would any regular glass fish tank do? I don't know if they sell those aquarium kits where you live, but here, they have whole kits that come with filters and lights. I need to know if I should look into one of those, or customize my own. Whatever is best for the fish.
Heater - Alright, great. Do they sell ones that have a constant 78 degrees temperature?
Thermometers - How tiny are they? I remember we used to have a sticker one that didn't work very well, and it was really tiny. Wouldn't one with a suction cup kinda, I dunno, ruin the view?
Food - Okay, pretty standard. A question about the meaty foods though. You said FROZEN bloodworms or brineshrimp. Do you keep those in a freezer after purchase? Or are you talking about freeze dried food? Also, peas? I couldn't see a betta eating a whole unthawed pea. I'm assuming you dice it up, or mush it into tiny betta fish bites? Or would I let the pea float at the water's surface and let him pick at it?
Water Conditioner - No question here. Are you aware of the Nutrafin Betta Plus water conditioner? Is it a good brand? I actually have a bottle of that.
Live Plants - Okay, biggest question here. Would I have to research these underwater plants before associating them with a fish? Seriously. I have about 4 live house plants and know nothing about water based plants. I see big problems cropping up when you clean the cage. Wouldn't it harm the plant? Also, I don't know what you mean by lighting. I have a normal room light, though my window is wide open (to let sun in) during the day. It lights the room fairly well. Would I have to invest in some UV lamp that sits over the fish tank or something to let the plants thrive?
Gravel - Would pea sized polished rocks work out good? I want something that plants live in well. Like I said, I know nothing about underwater plants.
Filter - Whoa, that stingray filter looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. It looks a little big for a 5 gallon tank though. Is the one you're recommending to me suitable for a 5 gallon tank (size wise?)
Again, thanks a bunch for the help.

Glass thermometers wouldn't ruin the view, some people actually think it's cool :p use one with a suction cup so u can hide it in a corner if you want to.
For food, Ocean Nutrition's betta products are great. ON Atison's betta food is good for staple food. While ON Atison's betta pro is excellent for conditioning. Hikari Bio-gold is very good too. These products, I find, is readily accepted by all bettas. Not like other food some pet stores carry.
Water conditioner I also use API Stress Coat, wonderful.
Live plants will require lighting other than your room light, unless you plan to put it outside. They require around 10 hrs of light a day. If you are a beginner, I don't recommend it. As if you could not take care of it properly, it will just end up polluting your tank.
Gravel has pros and cons. some bettas freak out when they see their reflection on the tank floor, gravel will help with this. Gravel may also make you think that the tank is sparkly clean but in truth, all the dirt is trapped in it. Gravel can also be a good place for the benificial bacteria to grow it, which is good for you. But if it gets too dirty, be ready with your fish medicine as this can make him sick easily.

While you are looking at aquarium kits with light hood and all, keep in mind that for plants you will need at least 10W of fluorescent light. A way to get there without a lot of expense is to get an incandescent hood and then get a screw in fluorescent bulb. They have one with u shaped tubes in the pet area at Walmart. Otherwise you will be looking for custom lighting kits elsewhere such as at AHSupply, on line, to fit into your existing light fixture. I am doing that right now.
For the lower light levels you can get without excessive efforts, the only plants you can grow will be marked as low light plants. They include both common types of java fern and java moss. For a betta, I would lean toward the java ferns since java moss is mostly good hiding places for fry but you won't need that. The java fern comes in a version that has long broad leaves and one that is similar but has a lot of splitting toward the end of the leaf, sort of little leaflets. Do not plant the java fern root crown, it will kill the plant. Instead tie it to something like the decorative wood things they sell and let the roots reach down to the nearby gravel on their own.
Before you start, make sure you read the threads on cycling your tank. If you were trying to keep a betta in a bowl there would not be much point to it since it is all new water every day or two and not pants or decoratins to hold the nitrifying bacteria. In a real tank, it can be the primary difference in how long your betta will live.

Just answering a few of the questions that went unanswered...
Heater: Hydor makes the Theo brand which seems to work pretty good, plus has an indicator light that tells you when its on and it's decently priced. You still need a thermometer (oh well :) )
Tank: For just one fish probably one of those 5 gallon Mini-Bows might be a good tank. It comes with a filter too(Whisper InTank). The only thing is that it's got an incandescent light but I've never really had an issue with temps. If you eventually want more than one fish I'd just do a setup with one of those plain tanks and the equipment that you want. It generally works out to be cheaper anyways. I'll recommend
for your equipment.
Frozen stuff: Keep it in the freezer and then either thaw it, deshell it, and squish it (peas) or hack off a chunk (bloodworm cubes) and either plunk it in the tank or let it thaw and feed it then (I do this because then I can control the "juices" that get into the tank).
I agree about reading up on cycling. This is something that is commonly not researched first (I made the mistake with my first tank too) and then there's people going "oops".
As for looking for a healthy Betta, if you can find some kind of breeder or mom & pop store (I know you said you were limited but sometimes you can find an LFS where you'd least expect it) that sells them you may be better off. Try to avoid the ones that are laying on the bottom of the cups, they're probably beyond help. Don't give in to dirty nasty Betta bowls because it sends the message that it's ok to treat them like that.
And lastly, I'd like to say Welcome to the Fishforum! It's great to see people coming here for advice on how to do things correctly!!!!

I've got my show betta in a 5.5 gallon planted with a 12 watt strip. 25 watt heater (all glass), Duetto 50 filter with the carbon removed and a second sponge added. Sometimes I put some peat granules between the sponges. Plants: Right now mostly Rotala indica with a couple of sprigs of Ludwegia repens and a big wad of floating Riccia fluitans and some java moss. I have plain black spectrastone gravel with a little bit of fluorite mixed in, but ih I were doing it again, I would ise ecocomplete or onyx or fluorite black sand or organic potting soil mixed with some peat (The stuff they sell for bonai is great). From there, you can pretty much do whatever plant wise. Skip the strip light and get a 23 watt CF desk lamp if you prefer (if you get the right one it's a really nice look) and you'll expand the possibilities to growing a lawn in there with sags or hairgrass or glosso or HC.
Now, I also have a couple of ADFs and a Mystery snail in with mine as a janitorial crew (and to force me to feed something other than betta pellets - they're too easy.)

By Dr. Sander A. Diamond, professor of history
This year marks the milestone anniversaries of seven events that changed our nation and the world, altering the lives of the witnesses and all that followed.
The Battle of Gettysburg (150 years), Lincoln's address at Gettysburg (150 years), the inauguration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt as president (80 years), Dr. Martin Luther King's defining oration in Washington, D.C. (50 years), and the assassination of President Kennedy in Dallas (50 years) helped define the American journey and continue to impact our lives. Adolf Hitler's ascension to power (80 years) and the Battle of Stalingrad (70 years) altered the course of world history in ways that were unimaginable at the time.
On Jan. 31, 1933, Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany. Within a year, he consolidated his power, the Third Reich was born, and the course of world history was soon to take a different course.
Three months later, FDR stood on the steps of the Capitol and was sworn in as president in the midst of the Great Depression. Unlike Hitler, who told the German people that the depression was caused by a great conspiracy, FDR told our nation that "all we have to fear is fear itself." FDR led the the nation through the darkest days of the Great Depression and World War II. Rarely has there been a sharper contrast between good and evil, between all that was embodied in FDR and what Der Führer represented.
In the annals of military history, there are battles that turn the tide of warfare. In World War II there were two: D-Day, June 6, 1944 and the Battle of Stalingrad, which came to an end Jan. 31, 1943 with victory by the Red Army. It was after Stalingrad when Hitler acknowledged to his close associates that the war might not end as he imagined.
In World War II, it was Stalingrad and D-Day June 6, 1944. This year we will commemorate the 150th anniversary of a battle that took place in Gettysburg, from July 1-3, 1863. The hilly landscape, with outcroppings of rock and names like Seminary Ridge, Culp's Hill and Cemetery Ridge, became a killing field. When it ended, 56,000 were dead or wounded, and Lee's shattered forces retreated to Virginia. The tide of war had turned and when it ended in April 1865, more than 750,000 men had died, according to recent estimates.
The battlefield was dedicated Nov. 19, 1863, with the grave sites still fresh and much of it still littered with pieces of weapons of war. The words delivered by President Lincoln that day transcend what occurred on that blood-soaked battlefield, "that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from this earth."
One hundred years later, on Nov. 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy, the embodiment of youth and vigor, was shot and a few minutes after 1 p.m. the nation and the world were in a state of shock as they listened to the report from Parkland Hospital. After JFK's death, American politics and foreign policy moved in a different direction. We are left to only speculate what would have happened had he been elected for a second term.
Four months earlier, on Aug. 28, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial overlooking the mall and delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. In the shadow of Lincoln, he called upon the nation to complete its work, the promise of equality for all 100 years after Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address. The Civil Rights Movement had moved to the top of the nation's agenda.
We can never forget the evilness of Hitler, but as we stop and commemorate so many defining events this year, we should be thankful that each generation brought forth people like Lincoln, FDR, JFK and King who in word and deed gave us a better world. Their monuments are less in stone than in ourselves.

OBS sale Day 3 brings huge gains
Published: Wednesday, April 24, 2013 at 6:39 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 24, 2013 at 6:39 p.m.
Three straight days of huge gains at the Ocala Breeders' Sales spring sale of 2-year-old thoroughbreds has not only surprised some, but also helped cauterize the wounds caused to the industry after the 2008 economic meltdown.
Photo Galleries
On Wednesday, nearly $13.5 million worth of horses sold. It was a jump of nearly 58 percent - or almost $5 million - over the same session in 2012.
Each day has seen gains at or above 50 percent, representing a total of more than $16 million in additional spending over last year.
"I don't think anyone (saw) this coming. We were all hoping it would be a good sale and there were signs it would be a good sale, but this is probably one of the best sales in history. I'm not kidding," said Ciaran Dunne, owner of Ocala-based Wavertree Stables.
Dunne sold one of the top-priced colts at the sale on Wednesday.
Leading up to the economic downturn, the industry was booming and more and more people were breeding horses. After 2008, the market dried up and caused some operations, both small and large, to fail. Breeding across the country sank to its lowest numbers in decades. That cut to supply, however, is part of the reason for the higher prices.
"It great to see a little bit of excitement and people smiling, especially after all we had to go through there," Dunne said. "There's a demand for the horses again. There was strength and depth all the way through."
Dunne sold a Birdstone colt for $375,000 to agent Michael Dilger on Wednesday. The colt, listed as hip No. 607 in the catalog, was a pinhook by him and Ron Fein of Superfine Farm in Ocala. They bought the colt as a yearling for $70,000 at the October Fasig-Tipton sale.
"We really didn't expect that price. He was a nice horse, but $375,000 is a lot of money to get for any horse at any sale," he said.
Ocala's Eddie Woods also sold a colt for $375,000. Near the end of Wednesday's session, hip No. 863 by Pulpit was purchased by agent Donato Lanni.
Tod Wojciechowski, OBS director of sales, said that while the auction company was expecting a strong sale, the reality of numbers are a surprise.
"We are in rarefied air," he said. "Things have been really exciting here for the last three days."
Wojciechowski said several factors combined to make the sale a success thus far.
"It's hard to pinpoint an exact cause, but I think it's a combination of the shrinking foal crop - though this sale has maintained its size - the buyers appreciating having a large number of horses to shop over and also the consignors being confident they can get what they feel is fair for their horses," he said.
Thursday is the last day of the sale and a record is within reach. The first three days this year have already handily surpassed 2012's four-day sale total. As of Wednesday, total sales stand at more than $38.5 million. In 2012 the entire sale grossed more than $33.5 million.
"OBS has to be commended. They attracted the buyers here and got the quality horses. With the horses that have come out of this sale, now people want to come. They made it a sale where you want to buy," Dunne said.
The sale continues Thursday at the OBS sales pavilion, at 1701 SW 60th Ave., and starts at 10:30 a.m.

Comments On Mar 13, 2013:Fits perfectly without any break-in. It's light and graphics are sweet! Goggles seem to fit better too than on other helmets - they don't press on my nose as much.

Ever get stuck talking to someone who's wearing something that looks like our Men's Disco Sleaze Costume? Why not impersonate them at your next party by purchasing this dress up set which comes with the vest, jacket, pants, and full mustache? The leisure suit jacket and pants are covered with small tan and brown squares. The neutral colored shirt accents the colors in the rest of this look. Leave it open and order some of our fake chest hair to make this style extra sleazy. We include a bushy mustache that will freak all of the ladies out, but you can also order our Afro wigs to look even hairier.

Bring back this embarrassing outfit by ordering our men's 70s sleaze costume, and have your girlfriend or wife coordinate with our matching women's style.

Hey guys glad to see you're liking the new errata/patch. I can respond to a few things.
1. Gospel isn't getting reworked yet. So far all of our ideas have been wonky and we can't get something we like or is practical and not face rolly.
2. We probably tested serpent in around 50 games or so and decided reverting some of the power creeped cards (serpent and vosrot) wasn't even close enough to a buff since they consistently lost in testing. It has become obvious over time that serpent has become too weak to be a practical file in folrart. Kraken can be hit or miss but generally will be useful. Really hoping to see how he does in folrart generally.
3. Beltorats were basically faster and stronger tanky refess units. They were too strong in the legacy format and are god tier in horizons so we had to bring the power level down.
4. Assassins are also in the same boat as far as god tier goes. I won 40 games straight with them in folrart which got us to look into them. After looking into it we decided they really only needed a light nerf since gafc won't be a part of horizons and the -10 is really effective. I understand marchare can be used in more than just assassins but I feel it was a pretty good move overall.
5. Mid refess is scary o.o
Keep it clean

Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Topic Overview
What is dilated cardiomyopathy?
Dilated cardiomyopathy is a serious condition that weakens your heart muscle and causes it to stretch, or dilate. When your heart muscle is weak, it can't pump out blood as well as it should, so more blood stays in your heart after each heartbeat. As more blood fills and stays in the heart, the heart muscle stretches even more and gets even weaker.
Most of the time, this leads to heart failure. Heart failure does not mean that your heart stops pumping. It means that your heart can't pump enough blood to meet your body's needs.
What causes dilated cardiomyopathy?
The most common type of dilated cardiomyopathy develops after a heart attack has damaged the heart muscle. But it can also be caused by many diseases or problems that may or may not be related to your heart. Sometimes the cause is not known.
Some of the things that can lead to dilated cardiomyopathy include:
- Coronary artery disease and heart attack.
- High blood pressure , which can put stress on the heart walls.
- Heart valve diseases, including aortic valve regurgitation and mitral valve regurgitation.
- Heartbeat problems (arrhythmias).
- Myocarditis, which is inflammation of the heart muscle. It is caused by a virus or an immune system problem.
- Drinking too much alcohol, using certain illegal drugs such as cocaine, or taking certain medicines such as chemotherapy.
- Being exposed to toxic metals, such as lead or mercury.
- Being pregnant. In rare cases, dilated cardiomyopathy develops toward the end of pregnancy or during the first 6 months after a woman gives birth. Experts don't know why this happens.
What are the symptoms?
You may not have any symptoms at first. Or you may have mild symptoms, such as feeling very tired or weak.
If your heart gets weaker, you will develop heart failure. When this happens, you will feel other symptoms, including:
- Shortness of breath, especially with activity.
- Tiredness.
- Trouble breathing when you lie down.
- Swelling in your legs.
You may get these symptoms slowly, over months or years. Or you may get them suddenly, such as after pregnancy or an illness caused by a virus.
Heart failure that suddenly gets worse is an emergency. Get medical help right away if:
- You have severe trouble breathing.
- You cough up pink, foamy mucus.
- You have a new irregular or rapid heartbeat.
When you have heart failure, keeping track of your symptoms every day is important. Call your doctor if:
- You have a sudden weight gain such as 3 lb (1.4 kg) or more in 2 to 3 days.
- Your ability to exercise changes.
- You have any change in your symptoms.
How is dilated cardiomyopathy diagnosed?
Your doctor will ask questions about your symptoms and past health. He or she will want to know about recent illnesses and about heart disease in your family. Your doctor will listen to your heart and lungs and check your legs for fluid buildup.
You may also have other tests, including:
- An electrocardiogram, also known as an ECG or EKG.
- A chest X-ray.
- An echocardiogram.
- Coronary catheterization (angiogram) .
- Routine blood tests.
In some cases, a doctor may want to look at a small sample of heart tissue, called a biopsy, to make a definite diagnosis.
How is it treated?
Treatment for dilated cardiomyopathy focuses on relieving your symptoms, improving heart function, and helping you live longer.
You will probably need to take several medicines to treat heart failure caused by dilated cardiomyopathy. It is very important to take your medicines exactly as your doctor tells you to and to keep taking them. If you don't, your heart failure could get worse.
Your doctor may suggest a mechanical device to help your heart pump blood or to prevent life-threatening irregular heart rhythms. Such devices include a pacemaker for heart failure (also called cardiac resynchronization therapy or CRT), an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), or a combination pacemaker and ICD. If your condition is very bad, a heart transplant may be an option.
Self-care is an important part of your treatment. Self-care includes the things you can do every day to feel better, stay healthy, and avoid the hospital.
Take your medicines as prescribed. This gives you the best chance of being helped by them. Some medicines for heart failure include:
- Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). These make it easier for blood to flow.
- Diuretics. These help remove excess fluid from the body.
- Beta-blockers. These slow the heart rate and can help the heart fill with blood more completely.
- Live a healthy lifestyle. It can help slow down heart failure. Limit salt, try to get regular exercise, and don't smoke.
- Watch for signs you're getting worse. Weighing yourself every day to watch for sudden weight gain is a good way to do this.
- Find out what your triggers are, and learn to avoid them. Triggers are things that make your heart failure worse, often suddenly. A trigger may be eating too much salt, missing a dose of your medicine, or exercising too hard.
What can you expect with dilated cardiomyopathy?
Most of the time, dilated cardiomyopathy leads to heart failure. Heart failure usually gets worse over time, but treatment can slow the disease and help you feel better and live longer. In more and more cases, the problem is being found earlier, when it can be better managed.
Some people develop other problems, including:
- Stroke .
- Heart attack.
- Sudden cardiac death, which means the heart suddenly stops working. This may be more likely to happen to people who have serious rhythm problems (arrhythmias) in one of the lower heart chambers (ventricles).
If a woman gets dilated cardiomyopathy from pregnancy, she should not get pregnant again. This is true even if her heart problem gets better.
If your disease is getting worse, you may want to think about making end-of-life decisions. It can be comforting to know that you will get the type of care you want.

Actor/director Ben Stiller makes a decent go at breathing new life into a classic story by James Thurber that was originally adapted in 1947 with Danny Kaye playing the lead. Thurber disliked the MGM film and I suspect that as an artist who cared deeply about his work, he'd find few remains of his classic tale of a socially awkward introvert prone to vivid daydreaming in Stiller's ambitious yet uneven attempt. It's a movie with a heart even if it's one that is cloying and flavored with a simplistic "just do it" spirit. Stiller's Mitty fantasizes as a means to escape his life of corporate downsizing and failure to find love. As a heroic everyman willing to brave danger to save a damsel in distress, Mitty finds agency, meaning and purpose (the hyper-masculine sort of course) but then again, that's only a narrative exercise that takes place between his ears. It's when he's propelled by urgency, self-interest and romantic inspiration that our ill-at-ease hero pushes aside his fear and anxiety, leading to the a-ha moments one locates in adventure but also the kind found in every self-help book (live life to the fullest dude!). Stiller's harmless, family-friendly and entertaining take on a classic is worth a viewing for its reimagined Mitty and superb cinematography but you may want to simply head to the library and pick up Thurber's story for the substance.

(Written by Elle Yi) For anyone who is searching for the adoption from Ethiopia, Melissa Fay Greene could possibly be a well-known name. Greene is a journalist who does not hesitate on getting closely engaged with her topics, parenting and adoption. As her kids grow, author Melissa Fay Greene makes a decision to extend parenthood by adopting five more children. In the book, Greene specifics her entire engagement through the adoption process.

Our strategy
Improve community infrastructure, health, resiliency and economic opportunities in Indonesia's most challenging urban and coastal areas.
The context
About half of all Indonesians live on less than two dollars a day. Employment growth has been slower than population growth. Public services remain inadequate by middle-income standards, and health indicators are poor. The island is also one of the most disaster-prone nations in the world.
Our work
- Economic opportunity: Providing technical assistance, training and financial services to microfinance institutions throughout the country and helping spice farmers earn more income
- Health: Raising awareness and supporting mothers to practice and promote exclusive breastfeeding
- Water: Improving sanitation and hygiene in crowded urban areas with a mobile sludge removal service
- Disaster preparedness: Identifying and mapping areas at risk and helping those communities plan, train and practice how to respond when disasters occur
- Emergency response: Maintaining a response team ready to quickly deploy and provide immediate relief to survivors during the critical first months after a disaster strikes

Indonesia: Promoting 'Early and Exclusive' Breastfeeding
Tugu Utara, Jakarta — Little Efa lives in one of the poorest and dirtiest sections of Indonesia's crowded capital, but she's as happy and healthy as any 5-month-old girl you'd meet. That may be partly because she is breastfed.
Indonesia: Aceh: Rising from War and Disaster
The Indian Ocean tsunami quite literally shook the world. The magnitude 9.3 earthquake that spawned its catastrophic waves was the second most powerful on record. The waves traveled with such force that, seven hours after the earthquake, they killed almost 300 people on Somalia's coast.
Indonesia: A Voice for Survivors
During the first critical weeks after the Indian Ocean tsunami, Debbie Tomasowa was on the ground at the disaster's ground zero: the decimated city of Banda Aceh, Indonesia.
Indonesia: The Smell of Success
Here in the small village of Nusa, hard hit by the tsunami that devastated Indonesia's Aceh province in late 2004, there is a new smell wafting over the modest wood houses along village's dirt streets: it is the smell of fresh baked bread.

Mary L.G. Theroux | Childhood Poverty, Government Failures, and the Need for Economic Liberty
Recorded: Thursday, March 26, 2015
Independent Institute Senior Vice President Mary L. G. Theroux testified on "Childhood Poverty, Government Failures, and the Need for Economic Liberty", before the California State Senate's Budget Subcommittee on Health and Human Services, at the request of State Senator Jeff Stone. The witnesses spoke about California's Maximum Family Grant rule for families on welfare. The rule caps grants and does not increase grant money to mothers on welfare when they have more children. Mary testified about the causes of poverty and of the need for other, non-government options for poor families. She introduced ideas for helping the poor through private resources and organizations, instead of government agencies where families and women often find themselves trapped in a cycle of poverty.

These colors mix easily and quickly, and their fast drying time allows artists to add new coats after only three days, perfect for glazes and impastos. They're also great for acrylic artists who want to try oil paints without the odor.
The Pebeo XL palette includes both modern and classic fine art colors.
