Do you really believe that Magpul pays 90% of their employees enough to consider moving even 100 miles away at the drop of a hat, or commute almost 200 miles round trip everyday ? Most of the people doing the actual work are probably making 30K a year and would tell the company to go get dicked in the throat without quite a bit of advanced notice. Trying to sell a house in this market except at rock bottom price is a pipe dream.
I really hope Magpul makes good on their statement/promise but I also wasn't expecting them to do it overnight.
Just IMO

- Throwing sponges at their teachers? Really? How are teachers going to demand the respect and pay they deserve with that kind of behavior not only allowed but encouraged and cheered on. Shame on the administration for allowing it and shame on the teachers for accepting this as a reasonable reward for their students. Since when did teachers become the target, both literally and figuratively in this case, for such a show of disrespect for them personally and professionally?

Position in the INGO |
President |
Full title and acronym of the INGO |
European Committee for home-based priority action for the Child and the Family (EUROCEF) |
Year participatory status was granted to the INGO |

Ladies and gentlemen,
Having worked originally as a social worker, I am currently a teacher and researcher at a Parisian university. I have always managed to combine my professional activities with my social commitment. The country of my birth taught me how important it is for civil society to be involved in dialogue and constructing social ties, which are the building blocks of democracy.
As the President of Eurocef (European Committee for Home-Based Priority Action for the Child and the Family), which is one of the Conference's member INGOs, I believe in the power of these collective bodies, which can give decision-making bodies the benefit both of their technical expertise and of their practical knowledge of the political and strategic choices to be made to act in an effective, efficient and coherent manner. This stems of course from my own beliefs but also from the European projects which Eurocef has run in partnership with the Conference of INGOs and under the patronage of the Council of Europe.
For several years, I have been actively involved in the work of the Conference of INGOs, particularly as a representative on various committees of experts. Recently, I have been carrying out the duty, assigned to me by the President of the Conference, of representing the Conference on the Lanzarote Committee (Committee of the Parties to the Council of Europe Convention on the protection of children against sexual exploitation and sexual abuse). In connection with this task, a working group on the subject has been set up by the Human Rights Committee.
As a logical extension of this commitment I have decided to stand as a candidate for the post of Rapporteur of the Bureau of the Conference of INGOs in order to place my skills at the service of everyone, in a spirit of collaboration and complementarity.

Recent reviews:
March 6, 2014 - I love the watch, I love the band but the whole thing is much bigger than it looks so I won't be able to wear it comfortably.
February 18, 2014 - Nice design and colors. Havent worn yet, but have a watch now w/ same rubber band- good for active people
February 17, 2014 - Bought two. Both of them did not ever work. Did not ask for my money back because it goes to the animals.
January 21, 2014 - So terribly sad this product did not work out for me. Gorgeous watch... one of a kind indeed! I loved the design but had HORRIBLE luck with it. The first one they sent me was defective (that tab they tell you to pull? I pulled it only to have the watch not work) so they kindly sent me a new one. Customer service was very nice about it too! Sadly, I received the second one in the mail today... the nob which you pull to set the time does not set into the watch. So at any given moment of wearing the watch, the clock hands can move and rework time. That makes this watch terribly inefficient. Perfect style, lovely design but not the best follow-up. Will be returning.
January 9, 2014 - Very cute love the purple & the paw great price & even better it helps abused or homeless animals.

Rhode Island Becomes 10th State To Allow Same-Sex Marriage
Originally published on Thu May 2, 2013 4:18 pm
Update at 7:08 p.m. ET. Governor Signs The Bill:
"We are making history," Gov. Lincoln Chafee said right before he signed a bill that legalizes same-sex marriage in Rhode Island. "We are living up to the ideal of our founders."
With that, the state became the 10th to allow marriages between same-sex couples. The Providence Journal reports that the signing "drew cheers from hundreds who gathered at the south side of the State House."
Our Original Post Continues:
The Rhode Island House of Representatives on Thursday passed a bill that will allow same-sex marriage in the state.
The bill is expected to be signed into law later today by Gov. Lincoln Chafee. WPRI reports:
" 'Today a dream has come true,' state Rep. Frank Ferri, D-Warwick, who is openly gay, said to a standing ovation. 'This moment is surreal. For us in Rhode Island, we have achieved an understanding about the human condition - that we all are one family and need to look out for each other.'
"The House voted 56-15 to give final approval to the bill after a respectful and at times emotional discussion on Thursday afternoon. The result - seen as a foregone conclusion after the bill cleared the Rhode Island Senate last week on a 26-12 vote - was met with huge applause. Those gathered then sang 'My Country 'Tis of Thee.'"
Chafee wrote an op-ed in The New York Times on Wednesday in which he explained why he would sign the bill into law.
"A historic realignment is happening all around us, as Americans from all walks of life realize that this is the right thing to do," Chafee wrote. "It is occurring both inside and outside of politics, through conversations at the office and over kitchen tables, and at different speeds in different parts of the country. But once the people have spoken, politics should do its part to make the change efficient and constructive."
Once the bill becomes law, Rhode Island will join nine other states that allow same-sex marriages.

Sir Nicholas Stern, author of a major report on the economic impact of global warming, has said the latest review of the scientific evidence by United Nations experts had demolished the chief argument of so-called climate sceptics. "I have heard three kinds of argument claiming that it is not necessary to combat climate change. The first is based on saying that scientists are wrong," Stern told a conference in Paris Friday hosted by French President Jacques Chirac. "After the report of the IPCC released today, this position is untenable," said the former World Bank chief economist. The assessment released on Friday by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said global warming was almost certainly caused by humans, and carbon pollution disgorged this century would disrupt the climate system for a thousand years to come. "To do nothing is to run a risk that we cannot afford to take," said Stern, as he called for "urgent, resolute and concerted" action in Europe and the international community as a whole to tackle the challenge. He also rejected the argument that -- even accepting the science -- mankind can easily cope with rising temperatures. "That is an irresponsible position, because it does not take into account the real risks linked to a very high rise in temperatures, for example in the case of a world where temperatures rise by five or six degrees." Five or six degrees Celsius is nine to 10.8 Fahrenheit. Those who dismissed the consequences of global warming as a remote, long-term problem were "indefensible from an ethical point of view," he said. In a report commissioned by the British government last year, Stern warned that without urgent action, the fallout of climate change could be on the scale of the two world wars and the Great Depression of the 1930s. Singling out current and rising economic powerhouses the United States, China and India, he said the world must be prepared to pay now -- in the form of green taxes or emissions trading schemes -- to prevent economic disaster. The IPCC, the United Nations' paramount scientific authority on global warming, on Friday predicted Earth's surface temperatures will rise between 1.8 and 4.0 degrees Celsius (3.2 and 7.2 degrees Farenheit) by 2100. It described this as a "best estimate" within a range of 1.1 to 6.4 degrees C (1.98 to 11.52 degrees F). In 2001, it had forecast a rise of 1.4 to 5.8 C (2.5 to 10.4 F).

I've just watched a show on the TV, and it made me quite mad, because of the typical stereotyping of us Brits, so the show had 2 British kids being babysitted by 2 Americans, then they have new phones and the Americans want some, so they pay $500 for them and the British con them and just give them rocks, then the British start spraying people with a hose and start being a pair of spoilt brats, then they pay $500 for a bingo card to win a tv, but they get arrested. Not all British hate the Americans, and we are not all con men/women, and we are not all spoilt brats that shout and spray people with hoses, and we don't all say "'ello 'ello 'ello what's goin' on 'ere then?" or stuff like that in a stereotypical cockney accent, because not all…

So far, I think that, The Pigman, Paul was a bad idea since there was already a book called "The Pigman". I realize that if I made a show under that name, the show would have some resemblance to that same name, so I decided to delay the idea. Plus, I didn't get the ideas from mostly myself. Some of these ideas I had to get from things like "Fairly OddParents", and mostly I created this show only for a video game in the series. So I decided that since The Pigman, Paul is delayed, I will make a new series replacing it. Problem is, I don't know what the show is called. The reason why I have trouble with dealing with delaying The Pigman, Paul is because the show, I can't think of anything original. Truth is, for me, it's hard to, and it only c…

Hey guys! SO, I have a theory that Stan Pines might be the devil.
1. I was recently watching a video that decoded Bill Cipher. It showed DIpper's hat, an ice bag from one or two of the episodes, and other stuff like that. When my mother saw, she told me to put it right off. As my family is very religious, she said the one eye on Bill CIpher means the devil is watching you or something. She also said that the star on top of GIdeon's tent was another sign of the devil. I am banned from watching that video because of it's contents so I can not give you the link but I think the title was 'Bill Cipher DECODED".
2. On Stan'a car, in the video 'Bottomless Pit' it said 'The Devil' in spanish on Stan's car wheras it could also mean he might have sto…

Well guys, seems like TWO common Wikia glitches has so far happened today. I don't know why these things are happening, but it is just crazy!
1. Chat is broken yet again, just about any chat on Wikia freezes when you enter and strangly, shows the last user(s) that were on before this happened. Hopefuly Wikia should be fixing this soon.
2. Profile pic problem, like a while back, if you switch your profile pic, now you will just get a blank one. I'd advise anyone who hasn't changed their's yet DON'T until this problem is resolved.
3. (Thanks Bill!) There also seems to be a problem with emails as well, as it may end up as just random codings.
I darn hope Wikia can fix this soon because its really boring without chats or your profile pic. …

Hey guys, just wanted to pop in for a bit. So do y'all know Vailskibum94? well he's on youtube and does gravity falls things.And the stanley pines theory got me thinking. There could be a another twin because 1. stan pines and stanley have diffrent glasses lens shapes. One is pointed up and the other is square. 2. stan was kinda grumpy in Carpet Diem when entering the room with the weird carpet.

Apparently another screenshot of Season 2 has been leaked, yet this seems a bit less likely as it is quite gore-ish to be canon, but it looks like it, art style, and it even says it is property of Pruit Prophecy Int.For reference, POSSIBLE SPOILER IMAGE HERE for now.Since there is no proof this is real, obviously, it wouldn't be added to the wiki, but it seems half likely, so if it turns out real, should it be banned from the wiki like the image of the author of the b

Over the days of Gravity Falls, we have never knew what Dipper's real name is. I say that Dipper's name is close to Mabel's. I come to this conclusion by assuming that all twins are similar. For expample, Stan and Stanley. As well as Alex and Ariel. So I think that Dipper's real name is probably Mason or something that starts with M.

I think im just done with disney channel, i mean it went so far down the crapper... the only good show thats like a warm cinnamon bun is gravity falls. I HATE all the other shows because they use over use these canned laughter when its not even funny! and good luck charlie's ending already and they made the right choice to end now than later. Phineas and ferb, well i guess its ok. it doesn't use canned laughter. But seriously guys. gravity falls is so good it deserves a emmy for best cartoon show and its own network. Spongebob, no, not anymore. gravity falls, YES!!!!!!
Alex hirsch needs a short break. i mean, we can wait, right? if we rush the poor guy, the show will be like spongebob!! so calm, it people! so all and all. LOVE gravity falls…

Hi guys, just wanted to discuss a minor thing that I kind of noticed on youtube (sort of). It's not a HUGE problem, but I've seen a few people complain about it. No, it's not the wiki, silly! :P As you may have guessed from the title of this blog, it's about when Season 2 is gonna start. I know there probably is a lot of people that mostly are REALLY impatient with waiting on Season 2. Wel, here's what I think: STOP COMPLAINING! And here's the reasons why I think that:
If you think Season 2 is really long ways from now (which it really isn't by now since its less than a year when it comes out (but I bet there's STILL people complaining)), then here's some statistics about how long stuff happened in season 1:
1. We had a 4 - 5 month hiatus

Name: Madeline Marie Jameson (Maddie)
Age: She is seventeen
Occupation: Works at Mystery shack
Appearance: Normal-ish height, she's 5'5. Has honey-brown hair, loose curls in it almost always. Has deep green eyes. Has a "skinny" figure.
Personality: She's very sweet, but also has a dark side. If you mess with her friends, she'll end you. She's almost always smiling, and when she's not, you know something's wrong.
Background: Maddie grew up as a navy brat, she was always moving around, never had any real friends, and didn't know many people. Even with this, she still had hopes to stay in one place for more than a year. When herself and her parents moved to Gravity Falls, she quickly fell in love. This was ten years ago.

Not so much as in Gravity Falls, but in other T.V. shows like Phineas and Ferb there are many Subliminal Messages. The company having the most movies and shows like this is Disney. They have put an uncountable amount of Sublime in nearly ALL of its shows, from P&F to Gravity Falls. I Wouldnt DARE to mention the crap they put in P&F. Well, since you will probably wonder, i will say one. In a christmas special, you see two oddly shaped presents, and they appear to be representing a sexual image. They are countless others, that being adult content or evil numbers (I hate saying the number, so i wont). I myself actually look for sublime in various content, not just Disney.I have found numorus in Spongebob Squarpants, P&F, iCarly, Sam and Cat, …

There are millions of Palestinians that Israel has been ruling by military force for over 50 years. There is indeed no Arab country with such apartheid system of governance in which your religion of birth decides what rights you ought to have and what land you can live on!! Your claims (all familiar from Israeli apologists) are no different than those who defended the apartheid of Jim Crow or Slavery in the US because well the US respected freedom of religion including to its slaves!! Israeli-Arabs are second class citizens even by the US governments own reports :: "[T]he government [of Israel] generally respected the human rights of its citizens; however, there were problems in some areas, including... institutional, legal, and societal discrimination against the country's Arab citizens.". So in your glorious Israel life is good for all except for native Arabs (Muslims and Christians I must add). That's exactly how the life of a white south african was under apartheid. Again, all these are diversions. If Israel is this heaven as you all pretend, well Arabs won't have a problem with it. They would have welcomed it. Arabs, however and any other people for the matter, do not and will not welcome conquerors who have taken their homes by force from them. If Arabs as you suggest get their "act together" and get rid of "their cancer", well that is not going to be good for Israel. Do you see any prospect of normalization with Israel from free and democratic Tunisia??? Not in hundreds of years. If Arabs got their act together, then they will issue arrest warrants against Israeli war criminals. There is no peace without given the stolen lands back to their owners. If God gave you the land, well you have to take with him whatever he resides, not on planet earth.

LONDON (AP) — James Bond lovers have spent thousands of pounds for pieces of memorabilia from the spy movies at a London auction.
Christie's auction house is selling the items to coincide with the 50th birthday of the Bond movies. The first Bond film, "Dr. No," was released Oct. 5, 1962.
Among the items under the hammer Friday in London was the complete works of Ian Fleming, Bond's creator. That fetched 91,250 pounds ($147,197), handily beating estimates of between 10,000 and 15,000 pounds.
A navy, wool Tom Ford suit worn by Daniel Craig in the new Skyfall film due out on Oct. 26 sold for 46,850 pounds. It was estimated to sell for between 2,000 and 3,000 pounds.
Proceeds will go to several charities, including the U.N. children's fund, UNICEF.

Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light
This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2013) |
The Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) performs basic research in optical metrology, optical communication, new optical materials, plasmonics and nanophotonics and optical applications in biology and medicine. It is part of the Max Planck Society and was founded on January 1, 2009 in Erlangen near Nuremberg. The Institute is based on the Max Planck Research Group "Optics, Information and Photonics", which was founded in 2004 at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, as a precursor.
After a start-up phase the institute will comprise four divisions and several scientific service groups.[1] The following departments are in operation as of August 2009:
Optics and Information Division[edit]
The head of this division and the founding director of the MPL, Prof. Gerd Leuchs, held the chair of optics at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, which is now integrated in the MPL. The range of topics investigated includes classical optics (optical 3D metrology, interferometry, high-resolution interferometry, etc.) as well as quantum information processing and nanophotonics.
Photonics and New Materials Division[edit]
The division "Photonics and New Materials" is led by Prof. Philip St. J. Russell. The winner of the prestigious Körber European Science Prize was awarded the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach chair with his move from the University of Bath to Erlangen. The division investigates new optical materials, especially photonic crystal fibers.
Nanooptics, Biophotonics and Plasmonics[edit]
In 2010 Prof. Vahid Sandoghdar was appointed the third director of the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light. Sandoghdar, previously working at ETH Zurich, was awarded the prestigious Alexander von Humboldt Professorships at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. His fields of interest comprise nanooptics, biophotonics and plasmonics.
Painter Division[edit]
On November 6 2012, it was announced that Prof. Oskar Painter would become the fourth director of the MPL. Like his predecessor Prof. Sandoghdar, Painter was awarded an Alexander von Humboldt Professorship as a professor at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg along with his position as the director of the MPL. From 2008, he was a professor at the Laboratory of Applied Physics and since 2011, a co-director at the Kavli Nanoscience Institute, both located in California Institute of Technology. He also received his PhD from Caltech in 2001. Painter's fields of research are nano-optomechanics and quantum optics in nanoscale and microscale systems.
Max Planck Fellow Group "Laser Physics and Photonics"[edit]
This group was led by Prof. Dr. Lijun Wang and was a division of the former Max Planck Research group, before it was transformed into the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light. The main focus is on applying optic methodologies to high precision measurements of physical parameters (such as gravitation or time).
The purpose of Max Planck Research Groups (MPRG) at various universities is to strengthen networking between universities and institutes of the Max Planck Society.
In 2004, the Max-Planck Society established a new Max Planck Research Group, "Optics, Information, and Photonics", at the Friedrich-Alexander-University, Erlangen-Nuremberg to advance collaboration between that university and the Max Planck Society. In June 2008, after an evaluation, the senate of the Max Planck Society decided to convert this group to a Max Planck institute and thereupon founded the "Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light" (German "Max-Planck-Institut für die Physik des Lichts").[2] with effect from January 1, 2009.

- On the Bennelongia barangaroo lineage (Crustacea, Ostracoda) in Western Australia, with the description of seven new species (2013)
- The ostracod genus Bennelongia De Deckker & McKenzie, 1981 is endemic to Australia and New Zealand. Extensive sampling in Western Australia (WA) revealed a high specific and largely undescribed diversity. Here, we describe seven new species belonging to the B. barangaroo lineage: B. timmsi sp. nov., B. gnamma sp. nov., B. hirsuta sp. nov., B. ivanae sp. nov., B. mcraeae sp. nov., B. scanloni sp. nov. and B. calei sp. nov., and confirm the presence of an additional species, B. dedeckkeri, in WA. For five of these eight species, we could construct molecular phylogenies and parsimonious networks based on COI sequences. We also tested for cryptic diversity and specific status of clusters with a statistical method based on the evolutionary genetic species concept, namely Birky's 4 theta rule. The analyses support the existence of these five species and a further three cryptic species in the WA B. barangaroo lineage. The molecular evidence was particularly relevant because most species described herein have very similar morphologies and can be distinguished from each other only by the shape, size and position of the antero-ventral lapel on the right valve, and, in sexual populations, by the small differences in shape of the hemipenes and the prehensile palps in males. Four species of the WA B. barangaroo lineage occur in small temporary rock pools (gnammas) on rocky outcrops. The other four species are mainly found in soft bottomed seasonal water bodies. One of the latter species, B. scanloni sp. nov., occurs in both claypans and deeper rock pools (pit gnammas). All species, except for B. dedeckkeri, originally described from Queensland, have quite clearly delimited distributions in WA. With the seven new species described here, the genus Bennelongia now comprises 25 nominal species but several more await formal description.
- Second contribution to the knowledge of the Lithosiini of Gabon: the genus Nanna Birket-Smith (Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Arctiinae) (2013)
- The presence of the genus Nanna in Gabon is treated. Four species are recorded, two of which are new to science (N. molouba sp. nov. and N. semigrisea sp. nov.), and the hitherto unknown female of Nannaa ceratopygia is described. A checklist and a key to the species of the genus Nanna are provided.
- Phylogeny of Miliusa (Magnoliales: Annonaceae: Malmeoideae: Miliuseae), with descriptions of two new species from Malesia – Corrigendum (2013)
- Corrigendum: The third author has been added to paper No. 54 (http://dx.doi.org/10.5852/ejt.2013.54
- Two new genera and five new species of Selachinematidae (Nematoda, Chromadorida) from the continental slope of New Zealand (2013)
- Two new genera and five new species of Selachinematidae are described from the New Zealand upper continental slope (350-1240 m depth). Synonchiella rotundicauda sp. nov. is characterised by cephalic setae 0.25 cbd long, mandibles each with two pairs of hooks and two wing-like projections laterally, eight cup-shaped pre-cloacal supplements and short rounded tail. Pseudocheironchus gen. nov. is similar to Cheironchus, but differs from the latter in having a cuticle without lateral differentiation, cephalic setae only slightly longer than the outer labial sensillae, and a posterior buccal cavity with three equal mandibles. Pseudocheironchus ingluviosus gen. et sp. nov. is characterised by mandibles with eight blunt teeth, multispiral amphideal fovea with five turns, and a short rounded tail. Males of this new species with 17-19 cup-shaped pre-cloacal supplements. Males of the genus Cobbionema are described for the first time; C. trigamma sp. nov. is characterised by four long cephalic setae and six smaller outer labial setae in one circle, six rhabdions surrounding the anterior buccal cavity, each with two pairs of pointed projections at their posterior extremities, posterior buccal cavity widening posteriorly, with three pairs of rhabdions fused posteriorly and widening anteriorly, males with two testes pointing anteriorly and with reflexed posterior testis, and no pre-cloacal supplements. Gammanema agglutinans sp. nov. is characterised by a short, stout body often covered in adhering mucus and detritus, cuticle with minute spines, leaf-shaped somatic setae with ducts, sexual dimorphism in the shape of the amphideal fovea (loop-shaped in males and spiral in females), posterior buccal cavity with three pairs of broad, column-shaped rhabdions fused anteriorly, intestine cells with orange-brown granules, and small tubular pre-cloacal supplements. Bendiella gen. nov. is most similar to Halichoanolaimus, but differs from the latter, and all other genera of the family Selachinematidae, in having a cuticle with lateral differentiation consisting of longitudinal rows of larger dots, and from all other genera of the Choniolaiminae in lacking pre-cloacal supplements. Bendiella thalassa gen. et sp. nov. is characterised by amphideal fovea with 5.25 turns, anterior buccal cavity with twelve rhabdions, each with a pair of pointed projections at posterior extremity, posterior buccal cavity with three Y-shaped pairs of slender rhabdions fused from two thirds of distance from anterior ends, and conico-cylindrical tail.
- Iphimediidae of New Zealand (Crustacea, Amphipoda) (2013)
- New Zealand species of Iphimediidae, Amphipoda, are revised. Based on new material from the Chatham Rise, east of New Zealand, two new species are described in detail: Labriphimedia meikae sp. nov. and Labriphimedia martinae sp. nov. A key to the six species belonging to three genera of New Zealand Iphimediidae is provided.
- West Palaearctic species of the genus Diostracus Loew, 1861 (Diptera: Dolichopodidae) (2013)
- A new status (as subgenera of Diostracus Loew, 1861) for Sphyrotarsus Mik, 1874, Lagodechia Negrobov & Tsurikov, 1996 and Ozmena Özdikmen, 2010 stat. nov. is proposed. A new species, Diostracus (Sphyrotarsus) kustovi sp. nov., is described from the Russian Caucasus. The following recombinations (comb. nov.) are also proposed: Diostracus (Sphyrotarsus) argyrostomus (Mik, 1874); D. (S.) caucasicus (Negrobov, 1965); D. (S.) hervebazini (Parent, 1914); D. (S.) hessei (Parent, 1914); D. (S.) hygrophilus (Becker, 1891); D. (S.) leucostomus (Loew, 1861); D. (S.) parenti (Hesse, 1933); D. (Lagodechia) spinulifer Negrobov & Tsurikov, 1988; and D. (Ozmena) stackelbergi (Negrobov, 1965). A key to ten Diostracus species inhabiting the West Palaearctic Region is provided.
- Two new charismatic Pristimantis species (Anura: Craugastoridae) from the tepuis of "The Lost World" (Pantepui region, South America) (2013)
- Two new colourful species of direct-developing frogs of the genus Pristimantis are described from the summit of two isolated tepuis (sandstone table mountains) in the Eastern Pantepui District of the Guiana Shield highlands. Pristimantis jamescameroni sp. nov. is described from the summit of Aprada-tepui from 2557-2571 m elevation, and P. imthurni sp. nov. is described from the summit of Ptaritepui at 2471 m elevation. Both species share the absence of a differentiated tympanic membrane and external tympanic annulus (but presence of tiny pharyngeal ostia), the presence of nuptial pads in males, and the presence of lateral fringes on fingers and toes, a combination of characters that immediately distinguishes them from all other known Pantepui congeners. The two new species are morphologically similar to each other and are phylogenetically closely related, but they can be distinguished based on colour pattern and morphological characters such as head proportions, dorsal skin texture, and condition of the supratympanic fold. The IUCN conservation status of the new species is considered as Endangered (EN) owing to their apparent very restricted ranges. The number of described Pristimantis species occurring exclusively on tepui (and faunistically related granitic mountains) summits and upper slopes now reaches eleven.
- West African pholcid spiders: an overview, with descriptions of five new species (Araneae, Pholcidae) (2013)
- This paper summarizes current knowledge about West African pholcids. West Africa is here defined as the area south of 17°N and west of 5°E, including mainly the Upper Guinean subregion of the Guineo-Congolian center of endemism. This includes all of Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo and Benin. An annotated list of the 14 genera and 38 species recorded from this area is given, together with distribution maps and an identification key to genera. Five species are newly described: Anansus atewa sp. nov., Artema bunkpurugu sp. nov., Leptopholcus kintampo sp. nov., Spermophora akwamu sp. nov., and S. ziama sp. nov. The female of Quamtana kitahurira is newly described. Additional new records are given for 16 previously described species, including 33 new country records. Distribution patterns of West African pholcids are discussed, as well as possible explanations for relatively low West African pholcid species diversity as compared to Central and East Africa.
- Oosagitta gen. nov. from tropical Africa, with revision of two species and description of four new species (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae, Galerucinae) (2013)
- After our taxonomic revision of Ootheca Chevrolat, 1837, and the description of Oothecoides Kortenhaus & Wagner, 2011 and Ootibia Kortenhaus & Wagner, 2012, it became clear that a further four galerucine species, closely related to the above named taxa, form a distinct monophyletic group, that constitutes a new genus, Oosagitta gen. nov. with O. anningae sp. nov., O. geescheae sp. nov., O. melanopicta sp. nov. and O. thomasi sp. nov.. Exosoma angolensis Laboissière, 1939, the type species of the new genus, and Ergana minuta Laboissière, 1937 are newly transferred to Oosagitta gen. nov. All species of Oosagitta gen. nov. are characterized by a broad body and pronotum, a more or less convex dorsum and short legs, and as such are most similar to the other above named genera. The antennae of Oosagitta gen. nov. are distinctly longer than those of Ootheca, Oothecoides and Ootibia. Genital structures of the males allow a reliable identifi cation of the genus. (Re-) descriptions are given for all species, including semi-schematic illustrations depicting the habitus outline, shape of the basal antennomeres and the median lobe. Photographs of the name-bearing types and distribution maps are provided.
- Gladiopycnodontidae, a new family of pycnodontiform fi shes from the Late Cretaceous of Lebanon, with the description of three genera (2013)
- The osteology of Gladiopycnodus karami gen. et sp. nov., of Monocerichthys scheuchzeri gen. et sp. nov. and of Rostropycnodus gayeti gen. et sp. nov., three new fossil fishes from the marine Cenomanian (Late Cretaceous) of Lebanon, is studied in detail. Some of their cranial characters and the presence of a postcoelomic bone clearly refer these fishes to the order Pycnodontiformes. However, they differ from all other described Pycnodontiformes by two important characters. Their snout is elongated as a rostrum, formed by the enlarged prefrontal and the toothless premaxilla, with this premaxilla sutured by its upper margin to the lower margin of the prefrontal. Their pectoral fin is replaced by a strong spine articulated with the cleithrum. These two apomorphies justify the erection of a new family, the Gladiopycnodontidae. The skull of Monocerichthys scheuchzeri sp. nov. does not differ greatly from a classical pycnodontiform skull and this species seems to be the more primitive member of this new family. Gladiopycnodus karami gen. et sp. nov. and Rostropycnodus gayeti gen. et sp. nov. are much more specialized. They share some apomorphies not present in Monocerichthys scheuchzeri gen. et sp. nov., i. e., an extremely long rostrum and an elongated first anal pterygiophore that sustains with the postcoelomic bone a strong and long anal spine. Gladiopycnodontidae fam. nov. and Coccodontidae share a series of apomorphies that justify the erection of a new superfamily, Coccodontoidea, grouping these two families.

That dang Rally Squirrel still haunts Roy Halladay.
Citing a desire to avoid surgery for an ailing back and wanting to spend more time with his family, the two-time Cy Young Award winner retired Monday after 16 seasons in the major leagues with the Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies.
Halladay signed a one-day contract to retire as a member of the Blue Jays, where he spent the first 12 years of his career. The 36-year-old right-hander choked up and held back tears while making the announcement at a news conference at the winter meetings in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.
"As a baseball player, you realize that's something you can't do the rest of your life," Halladay said. "I really don't have any regrets. You realize there's other things for you to accomplish in life."
Halladay pitched a perfect game and also a postseason no-hitter. But never made it to the World Series and leaves without the ring he badly wanted.
The Phillies had already won three straight division championships, the 2008 World Series and 2009 NL championship by the time Halladay arrived in a blockbuster trade the same day Philadelphia sent ace Cliff Lee to Seattle in a separate deal.
The Phillies had the best record in the majors in Halladay's first two seasons, but lost to San Francisco in the 2010 NLCS and St. Louis Cardinals in the 2011 NL division series. In his final postseason performance, Halladay lost to Chris Carpenter and the Cardinals 1-0 in the decisive Game 5 of that 2011 matchup.
Down 2-1 in the series, the Cardinals won two straight to upset the Phillies after a squirrel scampered across home plate as Skip Schumaker batted against Roy Oswalt.
"I think the one thing I took away from that is you can have the best team on paper, you can have the guys who want it the most," Halladay said. "But when the squirrel runs across home plate while your team is trying to pitch, there is nothing you can do about that. So you really start to realize there are a lot of things out of your control. It takes more than nine guys. It takes nine guys, and it takes the 25 on the roster. It takes the coaches, the staff, and it takes a lot of luck."
Halladay played for the Phillies from 2010-13, finishing with two injury-plagued seasons. He won an NL Cy Young Award in 2010, throwing a perfect game that season and a no-hitter in his first postseason appearance.
Halladay was 203-105 with a 3.38 ERA in 416 career games, including 390 starts. He had 67 complete games and 20 shutouts. His resume includes three 20-win seasons, eight All-Star games, and three other top-3 finishes for the Cy Young Award.
Known as a workhorse, Halladay led the league in innings four times and in complete games seven times.
"He was one of the best competitors who ever played this game and taught everyone around him to prepare the right way in order to be the best," Phillies lefty Cole Hamels said.
Halladay was a six-time All-Star, won the 2003 AL Cy Young Award and went 148-76 with a 3.43 ERA in 12 seasons with the Blue Jays. He was traded to the Phillies after the 2009 season, and was 40-16 with a 2.40 ERA in his first two years in Philadelphia. But back and shoulder issues limited Halladay in 2012-13. He was 15-13 with a 5.15 ERA in 38 starts.
Halladay had shoulder surgery during the season and returned in September, but clearly wasn't right. He was 4-5 with a 6.82 ERA in 13 starts this year.
"It's so much fun to play the game and go out and compete," he said. "I looked forward to that fifth day more than anything. To go out there and know it's not going to feel good and I wasn't going to do it the way I wanted was frustrating. I tried to give everything I can but something was holding me back. I felt I couldn't give them what I wanted to."
Despite Halladay's decline, the Phillies were still interested in bringing him back for another year if he was healthy and at a price much lower than the $20 million he earned in each of the last three seasons. He was a popular teammate and a valued presence in the clubhouse for his influence and strong work ethic.
"Roy Halladay is the ultimate competitor," second baseman Chase Utley said. "He is by far the hardest worker that I've ever seen and treated every game as if it were his last. It was no coincidence why he was the best pitcher of his era. I'm honored to have had the opportunity to watch him pitch for four years. I'll miss his presence and passion but, most of all, I will miss his intensity.

You must bear in mind that granite countertops last forever. If you get tired of the colour, you will have to either learn to live with it or rip out the entire counter and replace it. A word to the wise, choose a colour that lends itself to a variety of cabinet colours so that you can still do some remodelling but keep your countertops. Because granite and marble are so heavy, they often require additional structural support, especially in spans and cantilevers. Please make sure that you take this into account when considering upgrading your existing countertops or installing new countertops. Marble or granite tombstones for a lasting reminderMarble or granite tombstones are a lasting reminder of a loved one that has passed on. We supply marble and granite tombstones to retailers as well as directly to the public. As a value-added service, we also provide a cutting and polishing service.

Building a better mouse trip for Mia
In a world of too often violent video games, where thumb dexterity is infinitely more important than the flexing of the cerebrum, there's a place for children and their parents to actually learn something from that multimedia computer/gaming system. Take a deep breath and enter the ROMper Room, where learning is a four-letter word-cool.
A cute rodent gives children entrance to a colorful world as they hone one of the most important skills of their lives in Mia Reading: The Bugaboo Bugs (Kutoka, $24.99).
Geared toward 5- to 9-year-olds, this colorful title is packed into a PC and Mac compatible DVD and mixes a nearly Pixar level of 3-D animation with interactive learning exercises.
In the story, a large clan of pests named the Bugaboos overruns Mia the Mouse's Victorian abode. She must figure out a peaceful way of evicting the insects or face the wrath of the exterminator, who will also take care of her and her family.
The player directs Mia around three-dimensional environments with the mouse pointer, clicks on hot spots, talks to characters, goes on scavenger hunts, collects sparklies (the currency), solves puzzles and can play educational mini-games.
The too-cute action is pretty methodical, standard role-playing. Sounds and dialogue from friends such as the French rat Romaine, an egghead named Marty or the Queen of the Bugaboos are sure to put a warm smile on the younger crowd's faces.
Punctuation, spelling, verb tense, sentence structure and comprehension are just some of the skill sets tackled in the activities that cover curriculums from kindergarten to third-grade. Twelve activities, each with four difficulty levels, are woven into the tale.
For example, after talking to Marty, Mia must find a short list of items so he can build a communications system. To get a piece of steel wool, she must challenge the slightly dopey rat Nopompon to the best two out of three games of tic-tac-toe phonics.
When set at the advanced (third) difficulty level, the challenge involves moving only illustrated pieces that end in a certain letter onto the board. It's a clever way to play and sneak in some learning.
The child is clearly directed on what tasks he needs to accomplish during the entire Mia adventure while encouragement and instructions are given for any wrong answers.
Nice features for added replayability are the ability to save multiple games and either choose to take part in the adventure or get right to the educational activities. Parents also can check a child's progress when on the activities screen.
The latest Mia title is great, but it might appeal more to girls than boys, who probably would rather control one of the rats.

Dodge Dakota: Problems & Solutions
trapezecdn Posts: 13First thank you to everyone who posted the info about engine codes, and the website that explains on how to get them and their explanations. I had the engine light come on for the first time today, and was confounded by it as I had just done a pretty thorough check over with a trustworthy mechanic.
I discovered the code to be P0455 " a large leak in the evaporative system". I am not completely sure what this entails but I did recheck my gas cap, which incidently had just been replaced a week or two ago to pass an emissions test in Ontario. (drove it to California in the meantime) The gas cap seems fine.
So I humbly ask as to what I else I should be looking at or for to solve this problem. It is a 2000 club cab 2wd with a 3.9L.
:confuse: -
dustyk Posts: 2,932No. The faults displayed during the test, with exception of the 110 code, indicate a fault elsewhere in the vehicle communication system. The 110 code is not clearable because it indicates a fault within the instrument cluster itself.
The system actually performs a automatic self test and reset at each switch to the "on" position of the ignition switch. For example, if a 920 code is being displayed ("The instrument cluster is not receiving a vehicle speed message from the Powertrain Control Module [PCM]"), the fault will only be cleared when the cause of the fault has been corrected. In this case the instrument cluster is looking for a lamp off signal from the PCM. That signal will not be transmitted until the PCM circuitry is working correctly.
Best regards,
Dusty -
dustyk Posts: 2,932Well, first if you don't mind, how did you obtain the "P" code?
A loose, defective, or incorrect fuel filler cap will cause this problem. Double check to ensure that you have the correct cap. There are two different caps used on the Dakota depending on the evaporative fuel/emissions package that you have. Depending on the year, whether conventional, Club Cab, or Quad Cab, and whether it has federal or California emissions, your vehicle may or may not have the On-board Refueling Vapor Recovery system.
If you still have the old cap, look at the underside and compare it to the new one. Some will have a plastic base and others will be metal. The new one must be of the same construction. Disregard the color of the upper plastic. The factory ones were black, but Chrysler replacements are medium gray. After market caps may also be a different colr.
If the cap is not the issue, there are neoprene vapor lines going from the Leak Detection Pump under the hood to the top of the fuel tank. Because of the year and age of your Dakota, it is likely they are cracked. This will cause the P0455 code. I would advise replacing all of the lines and any other components that look brittle or cracked.
Best regards,
Dusty -
airzooguy Posts: 1You have all been very helpful to me. Hope this helps someone else.
I just replaced the left upper ball joint on my '98 Dakota. Here's the process I went through. First, get a book and read up on the procedure.
A floor jack is really helpful but you can make due with a scissors jack if you must. You must have a solid jack stand to support the truck while you are working.
The original ball joint is riveted so you are going to have to remove these rivets.
I used a drill and cold chisel to do this job. Center punch each rivet first. Use care while drilling. You are NOT trying to drill through the entire rivet. Brake lines are very close to where you are working so be extra careful where your drill goes. It'll be easier if you slightly loosen the lug nuts before you start. Also put a block behind the rear wheels for safety.
1. Jack up the truck and place a jack stand under a solid part of the frame. Let the truck down onto the jack stand. You're gonna need the jack in a minute.
2. Remove the wheel.
3. Remove the brake caliper and support it with a rope or something so that the weight is not hanging on the brake line.
4. Remove the brake disc. (Good time to inspect pads and rotor.)
5. Use a floor jack to lift the suspension so that the ball joint is not under pressure from the springs. (If you can move the ball joint by hand, you have lifted it enough.)
6. Now comes the fun. Center punch each rivet head (there are 3)
7. I used a 1/4 inch drill which seemed to be about right. Drill the center of the rivet head until the drill is about 1/4 inch deep.
All you are doing is weakening the rivet head. Do not drill into anything else but the rivet.
8. Using a cold chisel, pop the rivet heads off. Sounds easy, doesn't it?
Trust me, you'll need a hammer. (You're using safety glasses, right??)
9. Now remove the cotter pin and large nut from the under side of the ball joint. You're gonna need a breaker bar for this one. Make sure your knuckles are not in harms way when this sucker lets loose.
10. Now get up and go to Sears and buy a ball joint "pickle fork" tool that you forgot to get before you started. It's about 15 bucks.
11. OK, that was a pleasant break, now back to work.
12. Using your shiny new pickle fork tool and your favorite hammer, pop the ball joint loose from the casting.
13. At this point, if you are lucky, the ball joint will pop loose from the newly headless rivets. If not, you still have that hammer & chisel handy.
14. Once the old joint is out, use the chisel to cut off the shaft of the now exposed rivets, then pin punch the remaining portion of the rivet out.
15. Install the new joint. Put in all three bolts to hold it to the frame and start the nuts but don't torque them yet. Pick up the nut you just dropped and start it too.
16. Make sure the hole for the lower bolt is clean and not corroded or out of round, then install the lower bolt through the hole.
17. Once the lower nut is started, tighten and torque the 3 attachment bolts. Then tighten and torque the lower bolt.
18. Make damn sure you use the recommended torque on all of these bolts or you could find yourself with a 3 wheeled truck at an inopportune moment.
19. On the lower bolt, torque it to recommended value and check to see if the cotter pin will fit. If not, use that breaker bar again and slightly TIGHTEN the nut until the cotter pin will fit. Never loosen the nut to put in the cotter pin.
20. Now set back for a minute and admire your work. Then put the rotor back on and reinstall the brake caliper. (You did use correct torque on those caliper pins, right?)
21. Put the tire back on and drive slowly and directly to where ever you are going to have the alignment done. Yes you do have to because you just broke every adjustment there is on that wheel. Be happy. You just saved yourself over 100 bucks and you have a new tool.
Disclaimer. This is what I did. Your mileage may vary. Batteries not included.
working under a vehicle can be dangerous. be careful!!!!!! -
bookitty Posts: 1,303airzooguy, your instructions were extraordinary in their detail as well as extremely clear. But, you failed to mention whether it was a 2 beer, three beer or 5 beer job. Please, in the future, do not leave out this most important detail. Thanks for a great and humorous post.

91dakota Posts: 2I have a '91 dakota (318 v8) and was recently trying to change the engine. I got an engine that was supposidly a 318 w/ a police interceptor out of an '89 diplomat. After pulling both engines I realized that the mounts were in totally different positions causing the new engine to not have room to fit, and that block doesn't have any holes in it to change the position of the mounts.
Does anyone have a solution? -
bocephusnj Posts: 4well fixed head light with display lights, was able to buy new switch for 39 on line and did not fit but was able to swap out bad bulb, a little pricey for a light bulb, but still cheaper then service dept at dealership.

bookitty Posts: 1,303I had an intermittent problem with the rear passenger window in my 2000 Quad cab. It stopped working one day, and I called the dealer to make an appointment. It had failed prior to that, and the dealer told me it would be difficult to trace the problem if it was operating. Every day, I would try the darn thing and of course it worked flawlessly. The day of the appointment, it started working again. Dusty posted that usually the trouble can be found in the main control in the driver's door. I called to cancel and the service rep told me that if it happened again, that he would wok me in somehow. Friday past, it died and no amount of wiggling, door closing and opening had any effect. I drove it over, and they found the regulator faulty, and also replaced the motor (extended warranty). Happy days are here again, and thankfully it never failed in the open position. Thanks to all.

jhensley Posts: 1Hey, since engine changing problems are being discussed, can anyone tell me if it is possible for a V6 or a 318 to bolt up to a transmission that originally had a 4 cylinder engine. My husband and I were given a 95 Dodge Dakota Sport with no engine, and trying to find a 4 cylinder has been a nightmare, so we were wondering if any other engines would bolt up to the transmission. Any help would be appreciated.

stevem1961 Posts: 13Well, here it is Monday and still no conclusive diagnostic, well, not completely anyway. I decided to take a trip to my dodge dealer to get some stuff out of my truck and talk with the mechanic. He said that the new plug wires that I just installed from NAPA were arching and causing a misfire (I admit, I opted for the cheap set ). I informed him that this was after the fact, an attempted repair. He also said that the intake gasket was leaking badly and needed to be replaced. I asked him how many codes he was able to pull off the computer? He replied-0. I asked if that seemed strange given the way the truck was running and backfiring. He admitted that it did seem strange and stated that I may also have a bad Oxygen sensor. I called them back today and asked them to thoroughly check the converter. I figure that the converter may have caused the back fire if it was partially blocked taking out the intake gasket and not displaying any codes if the sensors are indeed bad. The dealer said that I was already up to around $1100.00 without the converter :surprise:
I'll keep you guys posted. -
dak05 Posts: 8Success!! After reading several posts on many other websites, I was led to check out my Crankshaft Position sensor. The check is a simple one, simply measure the resistance between the middle and each outer pin. There should be no continuity. Turns out that mine had continuity in both cases. Replaced the sensor, car started right up...on the road again :shades:

I have decribed the "Evaporative Emission Control System" diagnostics in technical detail in past appends. Please review the archives. You should be able to find out what it means... and what the common fixes are for failure P0441 -
bcarter3 Posts: 145P0441 possible causes: Evap canister
Wiring Harness intermittent
Evap Purge Hose (canister to fuel tank)
Evap Purge Hose (solenoid to canister)
Evap Purge Solenoid Vacuum Supply
Evap Purge Solenoid (leaky/stuck open)
Evap Purge Solenoid (stuck closed)
The code is set if the Leak Detection Pump Test has passed and no air flow through the evaporative system is detected by the evap monitor. The purge solenoid should be mounted under the hood on the driver's side just outboard of the battery. Check the lower hose from the valve to the engine. Also check the electrical plug. -
