Pink Hippo
Posted by: Loren Coleman on September 30th, 2010
It appears a partially albino juvenile hippo has turned up in Masai Mara, Kenya, Africa. The media is claiming rare pictures of the animal have been taken. Photos of it are being published throughout the press. They are cute and I'm sure your friends will be emailing them to you soon.
They are being sourced to the Burrard-Lucas folks and you can read their original blog posting on this here.
But are they special?
Is it a pink hippo or not? The tour guides at Disney's Wild Kingdom explain that hippo's sweat is pink. As shown in this Disney hippo basking in the sun, he's sweating…and appears as if he's a pink hippopotamus!
Or perhaps it is a skin condition, as photographed on a past safari, below?

Oh no!
That came around suddenly, kind of….
Today marks the first day of IVF cycle IV.
Ever since the unsuccessful end of IVF Cycle III it was presumed there'd be another. Doing cycles two and three "back-to-back†as the footy commentators like to say in place of the term 'consecutive' (as in "Geelong won back-to-back premiershipsâ€*) was quite a challenge, especially when compared to cycle one. That first doomed cycle took forever to begin. When it did begin, it never got that far. Cancellation saw it end rudely before 'egg pick up' or EPU.
Cycle one also left me with a large ovarian cyst, and a growing realisation that our chosen fertility specialist was past caring. With no period meant no way to commence further IVF. A cyst meant no period, but Professor (later dubbed "Professor Doofus†by one bright spark) said we could do nothing but wait.

TV Tropes
Web address | http://tvtropes.org/ |
Commercial? | Ad-supported |
Type of site | Wiki |
Registration | Required to edit |
Available language(s) | English |
Launched | April 2004 |
Current status | Active |
TV Tropes, also known as Television Tropes and Idioms, is a wiki[1] that collects and expands on various conventions and devices (tropes) found within creative works. Since its establishment in 2004, the site has gone from covering only television and film tropes to also covering those in a number of other media such as literature, comics, video games, and even things such as advertisements and toys.[2][3] It is known for approaching topics in a casual and humorous tone[4]—cyberpunk author Bruce Sterling once described its style as a "wry fanfic analysis."[5]
TV Tropes initially focused on the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer,[1] and has since increased its scope to include thousands of other series, films, novels, plays, professional wrestling, video games, anime, manga, comic strips and books, fan fiction, and other subjects, including Internet works such as Wikipedia, which is referred to in-wiki as "The Other Wiki".[6] It has also used its informal style to describe topics such as science, philosophy, politics, and history under its Useful Notes section. TV Tropes does not have notability standards for the works it covers.[7]
The site includes entries on various series and tropes. An article on a work includes a brief summary of the work in question along with a list of associated tropes. In addition to the tropes, most articles about a work also have a "Your Mileage May Vary"[8] (YMMV) page with items that are deemed to be subjective. These items are not usually storytelling tropes, but audience reactions which have been defined and titled. For example, the page of the well known trope "Jumping the shark", the moment at which a series experiences a sharp decline in quality as in the notorious story point in Happy Days, only contains a list of works that reference the phrase. This is an important distinction. TV Tropes does not apply the term to a show, that being a subjective opinion about the show, but cites uses of the phrase by the show.
Trope pages are the inverse of articles on works: after describing the trope itself, it lists the trope's appearance in various works of media. For example, the page for the antihero trope contains a list of works containing varying types of antiheroes. In this way the wiki is fully interconnected through the various connections made between works and their tropes.
Trope pages are generally created through a standardized launching system, known as "You know that thing where ... ", YKTTW, in which other site members, who are referred to as "tropers", have the option of providing examples or suggesting refinements before launch. While going through YKTTW is not necessary to launch a trope, it is very strongly recommended in order to strengthen the trope as much as possible.[9]
Considerable redesign of some aspects of content organization occurred in 2008, such as the introduction of namespaces, while 2009 saw the arrival of other languages, of which German is the most developed. In 2011, TV Tropes branched out into video production, and launched Echo Chamber, a web series about a TV Tropes vlogger explaining and demonstrating tropes.[10]
Economist Robin Hanson, inspired by an analysis of Victorian literature by Kruger et. al.,[11] suggests TV Tropes offers a veritable treasure trove of information about fiction - a prime opportunity for research into its nature.[12]
The site has even created its own self-referencing meta-trope, known as "TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life". It warns some readers may become jaded and cynical as an unanticipated side effect of reading TV Tropes, "[replacing] surprise almost entirely with recognition," referring to the inability to read books, watch films, etc. without identifying each trope as it occurs.[13]

Nonvesicular Inhibitory Neurotransmission via Reversal of the GABA Transporter GAT-1

GABA transporters play an important but poorly understood role in neuronal inhibition. They can reverse, but this is widely thought to occur only under pathological conditions. Here we use a heterologous expression system to show that the reversal potential of GAT-1 under physiologically relevant conditions is near the normal resting potential of neurons and that reversal can occur rapidly enough to release GABA during simulated action potentials. We then use paired recordings from cultured hippocampal neurons and show that GABAergic transmission is not prevented by four methods widely used to block vesicular release. This nonvesicular neurotransmission was potently blocked by GAT-1 antagonists and was enhanced by agents that increase cytosolic [GABA] or [Na+] (which would increase GAT-1 reversal). We conclude that GAT-1 regulates tonic inhibition by clamping ambient [GABA] at a level high enough to activate high-affinity GABAA receptors and that transporter-mediated GABA release can contribute to phasic inhibition.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is an excerpt from One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp (Zondervan).
an emptier, fuller life
Every sin is an attempt to fly from emptiness.
Simone Weil, Gravity and Grace
A glowing sun-orb fills an August sky the day this story begins, the day I am born, the day I begin to live.
And I fill my mother's tearing ring of fire with my body emerging, virgin lungs searing with air of this earth and I enter the world like every person born enters the world: with clenched fists.
From the diameter of her fullness, I empty her out—and she bleeds. Vernix-creased and squalling, I am held to the light.
Then they name me.
Could a name be any shorter? Three letters without even the flourish of an e. Ann, a trio of curves and lines.
It means "full of grace."
I haven't been.
What does it mean to live full of grace? To live fully alive?
They wash my pasty skin and I breathe and I flail. I flail.
For decades, a life, I continue to flail and strive and come up so seemingly ... empty. I haven't lived up to my christening
Maybe in those first few years my life slowly opened, curled like cupped hands, a receptacle open to the gifts God gives. But of those years, I have no memories. They say memory jolts awake with trauma's electricity. That would be the year I turned four. The year when blood pooled and my sister died and I, all of us, snapped shut to grace.
Standing at the side porch window, watching my parents' stunned bending, I wonder if my mother had held me in those natal moments of naming like she held my sister in death.
In November light, I see my mother and father sitting on the back porch step rocking her swaddled body in their arms. I press my face to the kitchen window, the cold glass, and watch them, watch their lips move, not with sleep prayers, but with pleas for waking, whole and miraculous. It does not come. The police do. They fill out reports. Blood seeps through that blanket bound. I see that too, even now.
Memory's surge burns deep.
That staining of her blood scorches me, but less than the blister of seeing her uncovered, lying there. She had only toddled into the farm lane, wandering after a cat, and I can see the delivery truck driver sitting at the kitchen table, his head in his hands, and I remember how he sobbed that he had never seen her. But I still see her, and I cannot forget. Her body, fragile and small, crushed by a truck's load in our farmyard, blood soaking into the thirsty, track-beaten earth. That's the moment the cosmos shifted, shattering any cupping of hands. I can still hear my mother's witnessing-scream, see my father's eyes shot white through.
My parents don't press charges and they are farmers and they keep trying to breathe, keep the body moving to keep the soul from atrophying. Mama cries when she strings out the laundry. She holds my youngest baby sister, a mere three weeks old, to the breast, and I can't imagine how a woman only weeks fragile from the birth of her fourth child witnesses the blood-on-gravel death of her third child and she leaks milk for the babe and she leaks grief for the buried daughter. Dad tells us a thousand times the story after dinner, how her eyes were water-clear and without shores, how she held his neck when she hugged him and held on for dear life. We accept the day of her death as an accident. But an act allowed by God?
For years, my sister flashes through my nights, her body crumpled on gravel. Sometimes in dreams, I cradle her in the quilt Mama made for her, pale green with the hand-embroidered Humpty Dumpty and Little Bo Peep, and she's safely cocooned. I await her unfurling and the rebirth. Instead the earth opens wide and swallows her up.
At the grave's precipice, our feet scuff dirt, and chunks of the firmament fall away. A clod of dirt hits the casket, shatters. Shatters over my little sister with the white-blonde hair, the little sister who teased me and laughed; and the way she'd throw her head back and laugh, her milk-white cheeks dimpled right through with happiness, and I'd scoop close all her belly-giggling life. They lay her gravestone flat into the earth, a black granite slab engraved with no dates, only the five letters of her name. Aimee. It means "loved one." How she was. We had loved her. And with the laying of her gravestone, the closing up of her deathbed, so closed our lives.

I'm overwhelmed with the kindness and love I've received since my most recent post. Your comments, emails, texts, even your rituals performed in seeing me as whole and healed are appreciated more than you know. Truly, thank you. As I wrote before, I am honoring myself as whole and healed right from the beginning. Part of that healing has manifested in a 48 hour girl's trip with one of my closest friends, my mother-in-law. I captured it in photograph form specifically to share with you. (Sorry Tracy, I'm no photographer…this is just me and my iPhone.) We were surrounded with Continue reading >>

Penn and Teller and more Holy Cow
So it turns out sleeping after a Penn and Teller show is impossible. Your brain's just far too fizzy.
The whole show (as the previous post probably indicates) was an inspiration (except, if I'm honest, the nailgun bit, which I'm pretty sure any competent musician could have pulled off for real after a bit of practice and a deep breath). What got me thinking about my own work, though, was the people-wrangling.
The night before, I and the other creators at the WonderLab had run Couple Up for an invited audience. Couple Up was a game we'd created that very afternoon, and only tested once, and was full of imperfections (some deliberate, many not). Running it was a process of getting 30 people, who hadn't come to play, to understand, perform and enjoy a complex physical, social game simultaneously. It went, all things considered, pretty well. But it was a bodge, and required an amount of on-the-fly rule evolution and bit of improv stage-management. As I spend more time designing and running meat-space games, I'm only beginning to learn the dark art of introducing games to players and facilitating and shaping their experience. Godding Werewolf is one thing, getting 30 people to make choices and speak to actors and move around rooms is many orders of magnitude tougher.
So where to turn to for advice on how to take someone who doesn't know the rules and get them to do the things you need them to do? I'd never thought of how abundantly obvious it is: magicians. Magicians' whole careers often depend on their ability to pull people from the audience and get them to do the right thing. I'd thought before about what they might have to teach videogame designers, but hadn't thought about how valuable they'd be for training physical game runners.
Leaving the show tonight, I had the chance to talk the idea over with Stuart Nolan, who extended the idea to specifically learning from busker magicians. Rather than swapping magic tips, he'd had the chance to learn crowd management from buskers. It's crucial to learn how to stop the audience applauding, apparently, because applause signals an ending, and so people start to leave. But how do you perform a trick in such a way that it amazes and delights people but disinclines them to applaud? Stuart Nolan knows, but I don't, and now I want to learn.
It's probably a better use of my excitement-induced insomnia than trying to get a hang of the needle trick.

Leave a comment[...] Thursday was Penn & Teller at the Hammersmith Apollo, and Margaret's also done a great job writing that up, too. [...]
Definately, I am a magician and used to be a street performer – I'd suggest another good place to look is theatre facilitators (used to be one of these too) – getting a group of people, whether they're 4, 14 or 40 years old and who aren't actors, to understand the rules of a theatre game, and then throw themselves into it is closer to the free play we look for in games…

Brad, a 35-year-old husband and father from Michigan, says he gave up a testicle so his wife could see Oprah…literally.
Brad says he tuned in to see Dr. Oz offer advice to an audience full of men . "You were talking about how to give a self-exam for testicular cancer, and I found a lump," he says. "I procrastinated for a while because, like most guys, it's embarrassing to go to the doctor and ask him to check out your balls. So I waited." When Brad finally went to see a physician, he found out he had cancer. He says he had surgery on Christmas Eve to remove the lump, and now, he's doing fantastic. "I really wanted to come here, and on behalf of my two little boys at home and my wife, really just to thank you for saving my life," he says to Dr. Oz. |

The Yamaha YZF1000R Thunderace started out as Yamaha's last throw of the old school superbike dice, and resulted in the final incarnation of the FZR1000 EXUP. But ironically the Thunderace has proved to be a better big bore sports touring motorcycle than out-and-out superbike – albeit a humungously fast one.

First things first: Happy Birthday sib!
It's my sister's birthday today [or it's your birthday today ... if you're my sister] and today's project is the card I made for her / you. But then if it is you, you'll have already seen it as I gave you it last night.
OK! Enough of the time travel confusion .. or maybe not quite enough. You'll see ...
Anyway, here's the card:
But this is not just 'a card', no ... it's an interactive stage-set card complete with a fully functioning David Tennant ... [the latter of which I know for a fact was on her birthday wish list!]
As she recently went to see him perform in Much Ado About Nothing I used some appropriate wording cut from the vintage book [above] which I'm thinning out before I start to use it as an altered book/ journal.
If you'd like the full details on how I made this - it's my Design Team project here on the 3DJean blog today . But basically it's an Artchix chipboard 'Scalloped Stage' decorated with vintage wallpaper, shiny things and doodling - with stamped wording and characters glued to lolly sticks!
I hope she / you liked it!
Love you big sis. x
And if that's whetted your Shakespearean whistle and you fancy a bit more of the Bard then you might like the 'Culture, Literature & Shakespeare' themed pack of Plundered Pages I added to my shop last week:
End of shameless shop-plug.
I'm off to a crafting weekend with friends tomorrow morning .. so if I don't see you before ... I'll see you next week.

I'm sure your sister was thrilled. David Tennant was filming in the building where I work recently but sadly I wasn't there so wasn't one of the lucky ones who bumped into him in the lift or car park.
Enjoy your weekend. - November 17, 2011 9:34 am

GENESEE COUNTY, N.Y. -- A settlement has reached in the death of the man who fell out of a roller coaster at Darien Lake in 2011. Lawyers for the amusement park say a settlement was reached with the family of James Hackemer in November. It was approved by a Chief U.S. District Judge in federal court last week.
Hackemer lost both of his legs in a road side bomb explosion while serving in Iraq. He was killed when he fell out of a car on the Ride of Steel roller coaster.
The exact amount of the settlement has not been released. Lawyers say Hackemer's two daughters will be the primary beneficiaries.

I have a friend who always begged me to put her into a story, so here she is..well here is what she once was. |
Gabrielle sat on the porch in the glow of several candles and lanterns. Ryan sat behind her, gently brushing her soft black hair with an ivory and ruby studded comb.
Gabrielle sang a soft Japanese melody. The moon had already set and the millions of stars fell slowly from the night sky. Gabrielle ceased her melody. "How can you make a wish on a falling star when there are so many?"
"You make one giant wish." Ryan smiled and kissed the top of her head.
"That makes sense. I wish that Rebbecca would never come back, these past six months of freedom have been a dream."
"And like all good dreams they come to an end. I already hear a carriage coming down the lane."
"Perhaps it's just a couple of visitors."
"Of course, our neighbors will come to call on you at two in the morning when they believe you to be a demon." Ryan pulled her hair up into a long braid. "Just as you will go calling on them tomorrow at noon."
"Ryan, be quiet. You are so arrogant and condescending. Why do you insist on irritating me so, and why do I put up with you?"
"Because I can and you love me."
The carriage stopped in front of the large house. The coachman carefully helped a woman out of the carriage. She had a veil over her face and a child held against her breasts.
Ryan stood, "Perhaps you were right."
The woman spoke, "Right about what?"
"Nope Ryan, you were definitely right." Gabrielle stood and took Ryan's hand. "Welcome back Rebbecca.'
Rebbecca looked back at the footman. "Why are you just standing there? Get the luggage inside. Now!"
The footman sprung to action running baggage inside. "Rebbecca where did the baby come from?" Gabrielle had pulled Ryan down the stairs.
"You always said how you regretted that you never had a child."
"That doesn't answer my question."
Rebbecca smiled and walked up the steps in silence.
"Rebbecca you kidnapped a child. How could you?" The white candles all blew out, leaving only the scarlet to light the steps as Gabrielle spoke.
Rebbecca spun around. "You little ungrateful brat. I bring you the one thing you needed to complete the family you've wished for all your life. But like usual you still want more. What do you expect me to do? You can't bear a child and you always were begging for one."
"I expect you to not go and steal children from their mothers. I would have my own child by now if you had honored my wishes and left me mortal."
"You'd be dead now."
"I'd rather be dead and mortal than this life."
"You love your life and would do anything to keep it. And who are you to tell me about stealing children away from their parents, atleast this one is still alive. The stars and ceased to fall or perhaps they were just covered by the thick clouds that conquered the skies.
"I'm happy, because I've worked at being happy. And no one would be dead if it hadnt been for you." The rain began to fall up them. "Give the child to me Rebbecca, before you kill him too."
Rebbecca handed the child over. "What are you going to name your daughter?"
Gabrielle walked into the house and laid the baby girl gently on the bed.
Ryan followed her and put his arms around her. "You're the only mother she'll ever remember in a few months. Take advantage of this opportunity."
"Ryan, have I ever told you that I love you?"
"Yes, you have and I love you too." Ryan kissed her neck then soft lips. "So what are you going to name her?"
"How about if we just call her Sky."
"Call her what you wish, but her name is Skylita. Oh she's cold." Gabrielle carefully wrapped the sleeping babe in a violet sheet and rocked her, singing the lullabies her mother had once sung so many years ago.

Uzumaki Hatake Nila Saga, a Naruto Epilogue.
Hello. In the fanfiction thread that we created so long ago there has been some amazing developement and story telling. When we started that thread and I wrote the beginning of Nila we had no idea it would be so popular and that so many would help us write. Now, I can't take any credit for that post as My only contribution was the beginning. Right after that start I continued the story of Nila and much happened that made me stop writing. I still enjoyed seeing where people took Nila.
From time to time I came back and wrote a little more on my own path of Nila and in the end I ended up with some small chapters. I hope the fan-fic team don't mind me posting my version of that here. I will continually keep posting on this because the story is far from done. I start with the first part I wrote for the other fanfiction with only some small changes. Then I move on to the other path. - enjoy - //ShiverX

Beautiful home located on a secluded/private pristine beach,with a sandy swimming area directly in front of the home. Located between Historic Haleiwa Town (1.5 mi. ), and famous Waimea Bay ( 2 mi. ). Watch the surfers at Laniakea a few hundred yards down the beach or when the surf really gets big, a few will challenge the surf break directly in front of this home known as Himalaya's. Swim, surf or just watch the turtles swim by. Enjoy the breathtaking Hawaiian sunsets and the serenity of this unique location.
This home has been renovated inside and out. Central air conditioning keeps this fully furnished home cool and inviting, or you can relax on the front deck twenty feet from the sandy beach.

I hear you
I accept the apology wistfulthinker. I also appreciate the comments and the critisism. I get where you're coming from in regards to actively seeking the information on my own (which is what I do, for the most part).
Perhaps I jumped the gun and could have looked into it a bit more myself before actually posting. I think my intentions of asking the DP community were based on my assumptions that this site contains some of the brightest people I know. I can always count on SOMEONE from the DP having knowledge about pretty much anything.
Hmmm, also I checked out that ashtar site that you referred to. I've never heard of it before and my apologies as well, if this is the original source for the video. I had actually just found the clip on youtube and meant to just post the video, but I saw that the video descript had the link for the story on 21st Century Wire and included that as well.
Quick question to you sir or ma'am (if you don't mind), I'd like to pick your brain briefly... You're claim is that "there's no such thing as Free Energy". My question to you is this: Do you think that the idea of self-sustaining "Free Energy" itself is impossible? Or is it the lack of physical evidence for such devices that leads you to this conclusion?
I would like to believe in the idea of "free energy", but try not to trap myself in believing something that lacks evidence. On the same token though, I try not to trap myself in fully discrediting something just because the emperical data isn't their either. I am willing to concede that there are things intentionally hidden away from the general public. Is "free energy" one of these things? Who can say for sure, but we should at least keep the discussion going about these things (not necessarily this thread, but the idea).
Anyways, I'll end it here so you're not reading a book. Sorry if I jumped down you're throat in my response to you earlier... I was kind of put into a defensive position and overreacted! Thank you, and I look forward to hearing what you have to say :)

I just got a call from my dad.....his sister-in-law, who inherited the family land from his brother, just sold all the timber. I almost collapsed when I got the news. She is in her 90s, and some guy from the logging company has been pursuing her relentlessly for the last 2-3 years, calling her endlessly, driving all the way to her home in D.C. from time to time, finally showing up at her house with a check for some unknown sum.
She never had hardly any contact with any of us.....nobody has seen hide nor hair of her in decades. My dad, his sister and the rest of us have lived here all our lives...my dad keeps everything cut down, mown and maintained. My dad owns the land our house sits on but SHE owns the rest. We were one of the only land-owning Black families in this area for a long time when the norm was for Black people to be sharecroppers....why did it even pass down to HER and not the actual family???
The entire landscape in all 4 directions will be completely razed, so my dad was thoughtful enough to call me and my sisters in an attempt to prepare us for the shock when we come to visit. He himself had no idea until he saw logging trucks appear at our house.
I have 35 first cousins on my dad's side
(just to give an idea of how many family members there are)
....yet I know nobody will even bother to try and buy the land back to perhaps stop this.
I just can't.......

Minnesota Department of Commerce Cautions Consumers on Mini-Med Plans
July 23, 2012
For Immediate Release
ST. PAUL, MN – The Minnesota Department of Commerce is reminding consumers to fully educate themselves before purchasing Limited Medical Benefit Insurance, or Mini-Med Plans. Often these limited benefit plans are bare bones policies that cover specific expenses and have many more limitations than a comprehensive medical plan. Mini-Med plans may seem like a bargain, but may not always be the best or only option.
"Insurance is an important way to minimize risk and protect yourself, but it is important to understand the product before you buy," said Commerce Commissioner Mike Rothman. "Limited Medical Benefit Insurance is not the same as comprehensive health insurance and should not be considered a substitute."
Unlike traditional health insurance, Limited Medical Benefit Insurance has no limit to what you may need to pay for medical expenses. Many of these policies have a cap on the amount of medical expenses they cover, and the consumer is responsible for the rest. If you have a costly illness or injury and your insurance is too limited, you risk needing to borrow money or face bankruptcy.
"In Minnesota, insurance products must provide the coverage and benefits they advertise," Commissioner Rothman said. "We intend to keep a close watch on these products moving forward, particularly as we move into a new era of health reform."
Rothman encouraged all Minnesotans seeking medical insurance to shop carefully before buying an insurance plan. When deciding which plan is right for you, consider your current and future needs, know the limitations of the policy, and understand what will and will not be covered by the plan. Consumers should take into account the following considerations, provided by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), before purchasing Limited Medical coverage:
How Do I Know If I'm buying a Limited Medical Benefit or Mini-Med Plan?
Mini-Med plans are often sold as a "cheap alternative to major medical health insurance." Some Common phrases often found in advertising for Limited Medical Benefit or Mini-Med plans are:
Real Health Insurance
Guarantee Issue or Acceptance
No Pre-Existing Conditions
Premium Offer is Only Good For Limited "Open Enrollment" Period
Designed to Pay for Smaller, More Common Claims
Affordable Health Insurance
Look Past Sales Pitches and Ask the Agent:
For the full name and address of the insurance company underwriting the coverage
For his/her full name, address and National Producer Number ("NPN"); be sure the agent is licensed in your state and appointed by the insurance company
For a written outline of coverage
To fully explain how much of your monthly cost is actual insurance premium vs. other fees and charges
To fully explain all insurance benefits, limits, and exclusions
What Do I Look Out For?
Offers for health coverage that might not be insurance
Offers the require Association Memberships
Unsolicited calls, emails, or faxes
Any annual limits on what the policy covers
If you have questions or concerns about any insurance product or policy, contact the Minnesota Department of Commerce. The Commerce Department's Consumer Response Team can be reached by phone at 651-296-2488 or by email at email@example.com. Complaints can also be sent by mail to Minnesota Department of Commerce, 85 7th Place East, Suite 500, Saint Paul, MN 55101.

While Air need a total of 4hrs and sold for 500,000 which is 125,000/hr.
So Iron wins! ;)

Knuckles in Twinkle Park
Yes, it is indeed possible to get Knuckles into Twinkle Park. First, grab the statue in front of the burger shop and bring it to the Twinkle Park enterance. There should be two fences, one on each side, of the door. Place the statue on the right side of the right fence. It must be put in just the right spot, so it may take multiple tries. Then run diagnally between the statue and fence. If the statue is in the right place you will slip through the door. If not try again. Once in fly toward the screen un til you see the track.

The name "father" was originally appended to bishops as the living witnesses to Christian tradition. However, from the end of the 4th century the name acquired a more specific sense referring to a rather clearly defined group of ecclesiastical authors of the past whose authority on matters of belief was widely and indisputably accepted. St. Basil the Great and St. Gregory of Nazianzus are among the first who attempted to prove the orthodoxy of their teaching by appealing to the concerted opinions of texts widely accepted at the time as Patristic. Later on during the Christological controversies of the 5th century, all parties claimed the authority of the Fathers behind their teachings.
A noble example is the Council of Ephesos (431) clearly referring to the Fathers and their canons. By the end of the 5th century the name was also applied to teachers and authors who were not bishops. As commonly accepted, the Fathers of the Church were distinguished by orthodoxy of belief, holiness of life, the approval of the Church, and antiquity.But as dogmatics was further developed together with the growth of the Church, the attribute of antiquity began to be extended in time.
