We're gonna need a bigger hotel…
International and local tourism is on the rise, prompting hoteliers to announce plans to open several new hotels in the UAE in the coming year.
January 18, 2011 4:47 by Eva Fernandes
According to recently released statistics from the UN World Tourism Organisation, global tourism is on the rise – and judging by the surge in tourists seen in the UAE in the past year, the Middle East is no exception to the rule.
In fact, while the UN World Tourism Organisation noted a 6.7 percent increase of international tourist arrivals across the planet (up 58 million to reach 935 million), the Middle East experienced a chunky 14 percent increase, up to 60 million with "almost all destinations" growing by 10 percent or more since 2009. Take that, recession!
What is interesting to note is that tourism figures seem to have surpassed pre-crisis levels, and that's despite the disruption in air travel caused by the volcanic eruption in Iceland and the intense weather conditions in parts of Europe and the US.
And, though tourism may not seem to be a particularly thriving industry post-recession, the National reports that both Abu Dhabi and Dubai authorities have reported increases in hotel guests. Judging by the almost overwhelming new supply of hotels, the hospitality giants have taken note and the industry is expecting numbers to continue on an upward trend.
Just this week, hotelier Rotana announced the opening of six hotels in the UAE and one in Qatar this year, with a total of 2,500 rooms coming online. Last year Rotana opened several other properties, including the Amwaj Rotana at JBR, Khalidiya Palace Rayhaan, and two budget Centro hotels in Dubai and Fujairah.
And Rotana isn't alone in its ambitious plan to expand in the country. Ritz-Carlton, Rocco Forte, Park Hyatt and Jumeirah are just a few of the various companies planning new hotels in the coming year. And if speculation is anything to go buy (what else do we work on at Kipp?) Al Habtoor could be planning to build the largest hotel in the UAE (or "in the world" as Emirates 24|7 chose to inaccurately report). Should it be built, the hotel will comprise of 2,000 rooms and would be built on Sheikh Zayed Road.
Though that increased supply of rooms is sure to negatively affect hoteliers in the short term, many say the competitive prices will help attract yet more tourists, especially those who previously thought Dubai was too expensive as a destination. It's a sort of, "if you build it, they will come" attitude.
With all the activity the tourism sector is expected to see in the upcoming years, one recently opened university in the UAE is definitely set to benefit. We are talking, of course, of the Emirates MCC University, which recently launched in RAK and offers students a chance to get a bachelor's degree in Hotel and Tourism Management. Perfect timing for them, thinks Kipp. With the encouraging path tourism in the UAE seems to be taking, don't be surprised if you see us flicking through course brochures soon enough.

Hundreds receive turkeys
Thanksgiving is a time to express gratitude for many good things, and what better way to share that expression than by helping those who are less fortunate.
That is exactly what a group of volunteers did during the brisk early morning hours on Monday at Corning Christian Assistance on Fourth Street.
Preparations to hand out the making for more than 350 Thanksgiving meals has been going on for weeks under the direction of Willie Smith, director of CCA.
"We have been gathering donated food and funds for weeks," she said. "If it wasn't for the generosity of this community there would be a lot of people going with very slim pickings for a Thanksgiving meal."
Add to that the hours of organizing the food, bagging and boxing it up, local businessman and volunteer Pete Dagorret making a run to Willows to pick up more than 300 frozen turkeys and the silent giving of individuals, clubs and organizations who donated money and the community had the makings of a very successful day of thankful gi ing.
"We had students from the high school here volunteering their vacation time, the school's drill team bagged more than 300 bags of food along with many other volunteers," Smith stated. "And members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were here to help. It really is amazing."
One of the most notable volunteers to join the forces during the crisp morning efforts was 9-year-old Landon Touvell of Corning, who has been fighting leukemia for the past few years.
"There have been so many people who have helped me I wanted to give something back," Touvell said as he handed a frozen turkey to one of the more than 350 people standing in line outside CCA's doors on Monday.
Smith is also amazed at the growing number of families who are in need of the help CCA offers.
"Every year, the number just keeps growing. I just wish our ability to help followed suit," Smith said.
The people in line ranged from young to old, individuals to families.
"I just wish we could do more," added Smith. "Seeing the seniors and the children is the hardest."
It has been many, many years that CCA has been providing Thanksgiving meals, and now that this year's turkey day work is done, Smith is already organizing the efforts for Christmas.
"We don't provide nearly as many Christmas dinners because of the Christmas Basket program put on by the Corning Volunteer Fire Department," Smith stated.
For more than 35 years, the fire department has provided brand new toys and a Christmas meal for more than 80 less fortunate families in the community.
"I'm really proud to be a part of this town," Smith said.

The foreclosure law of the state in which the property is located controls how the foreclosure process is completed. Every state's foreclosure statute delineates the various time periods for each step involved in the entire foreclosure process from start to finish. So, the statute can be seen as a roadmap of sorts, assisting homeowners interested in figuring out how to stop the foreclosure of their home.
RealtyTrac has answers to the questions you may already have regarding stopping foreclosure on your home. State Foreclosures
In some states the process is a legal one which is begun in a court of law with the filing of a document called a Lis Pendens (which literally means "a lawsuit pending"). This is known as "judicial" foreclosure.
In other states the process is begun "non-judicially" by the filing and recording of a Notice of Default with the county recorder's office by either the lender directly, or through a disinterested third party known as a "trustee."
The actual length of the foreclosure process varies from state to state depending again on the state's foreclosure statute. In some states it can take as little as three months, while in other states the entire process can drag out for as much as a year.
The links below are categorized as being either judicial or non-judicial foreclosure states. There are also some state that allow both types of foreclosure, although one may be preferred over the other. Those states are singled out as well.

You cut out the good stuff at the end where the whiner started to talk about how big money can take a dysfunctional politician and make him electable. What is this guy's problem? I am sure the liberal ninny does not have issues with Soros and crew dumping tons of money on Obama to make that dysfunctional politician look good. Just another example of liberal hypocrisy. What they are upset about is that Barrett did not get tons of money.

Our site is already very well indexed in the US search engines. Our AdWords & Overture ads are highly ranked top performers. But I'm looking to gain exposure in the German market. It looks as if the top German search engines (from my admittedly basic research) are Google.de, Yahoo.de, Altavista.de, Abacho.com, T-Online.de, Sharelook.de, Euroseek.com, Web.de, and Fireball. Our SERPS results are pretty good on some (Google), but we're near non-existent on others (Altavista). I'm thinking of trying some European PPC ads. The ones I'm looking at are eSpotting & FindWhat. My question is: are they worth it? After analyzing "traffic" from Looksmart it was fairly evident that their clicks are worthless! (Even more hilarious was their email recommendation to increase my budget 10x) I don't want to signup and waste money with a site that just feeds me worthless traffic from the likes of searchfoo.com. Are eSpotting & FindWhat reputable? Are there options to target Germany with our existing Google & Overture accounts? I think the main engines I want to target are Fireball, Altavista & Yahoo. Any suggestions/advice is appreciated.

Abstract | CMP-Kdn synthetase catalyses the reaction of sialic acids (Sia) and cytidine-5′-triphosphate (CTP) to the corresponding activated sugar nucleotide CMP-Sia and pyrophosphate PPi. STD NMR experiments of a recombinant nucleotide cytidine-5′-monophosphate-3-deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-nonulosonic acid synthetase (CMP-Kdn synthetase) were performed to map the binding epitope of the substrate CTP and the product CMP-Neu5Ac. The STD NMR analysis clearly shows that the anomeric proton of the ribose moiety of both investigated compounds is in close proximity to the protein surface and is likely to play a key role in the binding process. The relative rates of the enzyme reaction, derived from 1H NMR signal integrals, show that Kdn is activated at a rate 2.5 and 3.1 faster than Neu5Ac and Neu5Gc, respectively. Furthermore, proton-decoupled 31P NMR spectroscopy was successfully used to follow the enzyme reaction and clearly confirmed the appearance of CMP-Sia and the inorganic pyrophosphate by-product. |

He'd rather keep his delegates and delay endorsing any candidates.
Last night, more than 4,000 people joined Rick and Karen Santorum as they spoke to supporters about his future plans. The intro of the call promised a "special surprise" but by the end of the call, listeners were left with nothing but unfulfilled expectations — much of it was fluff. The call may have been meant more-so as a pitch to ease his debt woes (even though he tried to brush the impact finances had on his campaign).
Callers were able to submit questions for the call; one person asked if he would "un-suspend" his campaign if enough people voted for him — he didn't rule it out.
"Well, I would just say this. The best thing they could do is stay tuned. We really are serious about making sure that the issues that we brought up during this campaign are continued going forward."
"In the next week or two we'll have some announcements as to how we're gonna structure things going forward," Mr. Santorum said. Which basically means "There will be more opportunities to give me money, so save it."
[ALSO READ: Rick Santorum's Greatest Hits]
Mr. Santorum also didn't endorse anyone during the call, saying "As far as who you vote for, that's up to you. I haven't supported any candidate yet." He said he still wants his bound delegates to vote for him at the convention.
On a lighter note, during the call, Bella Santorum could be heard in the background — whom was often said to be the main reason for Mr. Santorum's campaign halt.

Regulation of cholesterol supply for mineralocorticoid biosynthesis
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, Volume 13, Issue 3, 1 April 2002, Pages 118-121
Alessandro M Capponi
AbstractIn addition to intracellular cholesterol synthesis, plasma low- and high-density lipoproteins (LDL and HDL, respectively) are the major potential sources of a cholesterol precursor for steroid synthesis in all steroidogenic tissues. LDL- and HDL-cholesterol are taken up by cells through entirely distinct mechanisms. In the case of aldosterone production in the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex, it has been assumed in the past that LDL is the major supplier of cholesterol. However, recent developments, in particular the discovery of the scavenger receptor class B type I for HDL and the characterization of its properties, have questioned this view. In fact, the nature of the challenging factor (angiotensin II or adrenocorticotropic hormone) appears to determine which pool of cholesterol is preferentially mobilized and which pathway (LDL receptor endocytosis or selective uptake through the HDL receptor) is regulated.

AbstractAlthough high-density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism is a crucial process for cholesterol homeostasis and coronary heart disease, therapeutic approaches for selective modification of plasma HDL levels are not currently available. The discovery of well-defined cell-surface HDL receptors should provide new avenues for treatment of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. In fact, SR-BI, a recently identified receptor for selective HDL cholesterol uptake, is relevant for physiological processes (for example, HDL metabolism, steroidogenesis and biliary cholesterol secretion) and pathophysiological conditions (for example, atherosclerosis) in animal models. If SR-BI has similar activities in humans, it might represent a new therapeutic target for atherosclerosis.

Trends in Cell Biology, Volume 14, Issue 5, 1 May 2004, Pages 250-260
Elisabeth Fayard, Johan Auwerx and Kristina Schoonjans
AbstractThe liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1; NR5A2) and steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1; NR5A1) are two orphan members of the Ftz-F1 subfamily of nuclear receptors. LRH-1 is expressed in tissues derived from endoderm, including intestine, liver and exocrine pancreas, as well as in the ovary. In these tissues, LRH-1 plays a predominant role in development, reverse cholesterol transport, bile-acid homeostasis and steroidogenesis. SF-1 expression is confined to steroidogenic tissues and the hypothalamo–pituitary–adrenal axis, where it is involved in the control of development, differentiation, steroidogenesis and sexual determination. In this article, we will review data concerning the structure, regulation and function of LRH-1. These data highlight structural similarities between LRH-1 and other Ftz-F1 members but also underscore important functional differences, assigning to LRH-1 a unique position among nuclear receptors.

Scavenger receptor class B, type I (SR-BI) is a receptor for high-density lipoprotein (HDL) that mediates cellular uptake of HDL cholesteryl ester (HDL CE) and is the major route for cholesterol delivery to the steroidogenic pathway. SR-BI is localized in specialized microvillar channels in the plasma membrane that retain HDL and are sites of selective uptake of HDL CE. The formation of microvillar channels in the adrenal gland requires SR-BI and is regulated by adrenocorticotropin hormone. SR-BI-mediated uptake of HDL CE is a two-step process that requires high-affinity binding of HDL followed by transfer of CE to the membrane. CE uptake is followed by hydrolysis to free cholesterol by a neutral CE hydrolase. In this review, we describe new information on the mechanism of transfer of cholesterol from plasma HDL to the steroidogenic pathway in endocrine cells.

Description: With the 'Oceana' metal wall sculpture you get another abstract approach from Nicholas Yust, similar to the Deviation and Eccentricity sculptures. These pieces stand out among the others in our Single Pane Metal Gallery because of the unique, experimental grind patterns. The various shapes and lines scattered across the busy surface look almost like artistic doodles by Nicholas. With similar abstract grinds, the major difference between this sculpture and the others mentioned above is the landscape profile of the panel. PRODUCT SPECS:

GH2 is 2/3 stop less sensitive than the G1
A rough equivalency would be the GH2 at 1/250th second and the G1 at
1/400th of a second. That way, image brightness at a given f-stop on the same lens are about the same. Bigger pixels = more sensitive. This is evident on the new Olympus OM-D as well. http://www.pbase.com/andersonrm/pana...ty_differences |

Winter really hit this week – freezing cold temps and the first snowfall of the season. I went out for a walk in the snow yesterday, and ended up at UEA again. I revisited some favourite spots, including this one (which I photographed last week before the snow). The snow completely changes the ambience, and for the better, I think :)

Here's my observations on some content farms that I visit from time to time:
Read what Brinked said in this [webmasterworld.com...]
They (content farms, those that eventually escaped Panda) have done all what they can to make their content farm sites look interactive & worth reading.
Meaning, they improved the user experience by adding videos, related content, images, good nav boxes, etc etc etc.
They also deleted hundreds of thousands of zero traffic pages + structured/categorized optimally their best content.
That's all.
I actually compete two or three about.com sub domains, and I can tell you that they are making a good job having several writers with top SEOs making every page optimized to its neck.
Google algorithm has a hard time recognize whether this content is 100% good or not, because visitors continue to dig reading.
Sometimes it is 'good enough' and sometimes not.

Last week, I got a call from Thomas' school saying that he developed hives after eating peanut butter. He had never eaten pb before. He always told me he didn't like it, but would never try it. I knew they were serving "ants on a log" for "Letter A" week, but I didn't think anything of it. I was surprised that he even ate it! They said he ate it right off the spoon.
I took him to the doctor, and we had blood drawn for an allergy test. The doctor called last night to say it is definitely a peanut allergy. Out of 6 levels, his allergy is a level 4. So, it's not deadly but is pretty serious. She gave me a prescription for an epi-pen jr. I'll keep one and leave one at school.
Has anyone else gone through this? Do you recommend an alert bracelet? What questions should I be asking the doctor? Thanks ladies!
We found out this summer that Callie is allergic to cashews and pistachios. I carry an epi jr, and one is at her daycare, too. Her allergy is a class 3. I'm sorry you have to deal with it :/
I'm sorry Thomas has a peanut allergy I don't have any experience so I am unable to offer any advice. GL and kup on how things go!

Historical Traveler Reviews Constantinou Bros Athena Royal Beach Hotel Paphos
Great place to stay -
This is such a great place to stay - wonderful without children - superb to just have some peace and quiet, relax and chill out.
I love the Hotel
We had a lovely time at the hotel, i fully recommend it. The staff were friendly and attentive. The location of the hote lis perfect, i have no negative things to say about it.
Beautiful Hotel
This hotel provides a service which cannot be beaten.
For accommodation, food, surroundings, leisure facilities and the service given by highly trained personnel. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff wherever they are within the organisation.
I cannot speak too highly of this hotel.
Gorgeous hotel
Been meaning to leave a review of this hotel for ages as it was sooo nice.
Would stay again
rooms are fresh and new ,
threepools one heated plus gym and indoor pool
breakfast realy good every thing you could eat sparkling wine to start your day
wellpriced supermarket
plenty of sunbeds, towels provided.
rooms are well apointed showers very good,bathrobes provided not to be taken to pools or beach ,
although a lot of germans looked stupid walking to the beach/pool area wearing them before striping down to their swim wear.
the only downside, the room appears to be only one brick separation you can hear every noise/sound
Fantastic Hotel!
We stayed at the Athena Royal on a half-board basis in August this year. The hotel staff were all extremely friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The food was very good - especially the breakfasts with a vast selection of hot and cold options. The pool area is fantastic with loads of sunbeds, free beach towels and no kids! As others have said, the beach is a little disappointing though. We'd definitely recommend sampling the cocktails in the bar - they're a little pricier than in the bars on the triangle but worth every penny! Everything about this holiday was excellent - from the wine and fruit in the room when we arrived to the concierge service when we left. We would love to return to the Athena Royal again and would highly recommend this hotel to other couples.
Brilliant New Hotel Athena Royal
Stayed here in June for 12 nights in a superior seaview room. We were a bit worried when we booked this hotel because it had not opened yet and hoped we would not be going to a building site. We could not have been more wrong and need not have worried. The Athena Royal is beautiful and the service first class. The hotel was only half full, probably because it had not been advertised in all the brochures being so new. However, a lot of the guests we spoke to had been transferred from other hotels within the same group and they were all extremely pleased they changed as this hotel is by far the best. The pool areas are spacious and clean and have many sunbeds and umbrelllas, not only around the pools but also on the vast area of grass that leads down to the beach. The two large outdoor swimming pools each have two built in whirlpools which I found to be quite unique. There was never any worry about getting up early to reserve a sunbed as there were so many, This hotel is for adults only, so if you have children I suggest you stay next door at the Athena Beach which caters for families, but is completely separate from the Royal. Food in the restaurant was a very good buffet with many hot and cold choices, and the theme nights held on the patio made a lovely setting with entertainment and dancing. Even lunch at the hotel was really good and not at all expensive, so we did not have to go looking for lunch and leave the pool area. If you want to eat out at night as we did on some occasions, there are some really good restaurants five minutes walk away at the Triangle. The best two were the French and Italian. This hotel is also very close to the Amathus Beach Hotel and to get into town you could either stroll there in 15 minutes, or get the bus which you can catch outside the Athena Beach. There is a PR hostess who comes round at the buffet breakfast just to make sure everyone is happy and she did a marvellous job, she is so friendly and cheerful. When she heard it was our anniversary, she arranged fruit and wine for us in our room when we returned after our day out, and a poster on our door with balloons! Staff on the reception were also very helpful. The hotel has its own well stocked supermarket where you could buy drinks etc to put into your fridge.
Fab holiday......
We were booked into the Athena Beach Hotel next door, but because the Athena Royal was newly openned and so must have had few bookings, we were asked if we would like to stay there.
stayed here for 2 weeks this year!! arrived and was upgraded to a 1 bed suite with extra bedroom great walk in wardrobe!!!. beach not so great still a bit rocky but 3 pools to choose from easy to get a sun bed so no need to get up at the crack of dawn oh except for breakfast which ends at 10!! (8am uk time!!! :o). staff all vert nice except some of the hotel lunch staff come accross a bit rude but not intentionly can give you the evils not good while your tucking in to the lunch try the milkshakes there heaven. no need to take beach towels as you can have as many as you want from the spa every day. other than that not a bad place to stay.

The first sound I heard was a woman's cry
The first word I learned to utter was goodbye
Forgive me if I'm wrong in what I do to you
While passin' through passin' through
Happiness for me cannot be found but yet I still search from town to town
No offence but I don't think I'll find it here with you
Goodbye babe just passin' through
Passin' through your life like a ragin' river
No woman needs or can hold the love I give her
Please understand I can't control these things I do
While passin' through passin' through
What was that did you say you thought you loved me
That's too bad girl cause if you really do
You'll just awaken with the dawn and find your love has flown
Like an old wild goose passin' through
Passin' through your life like a ragin' river...
Like a cold north wind jus a passin' through
Goodbye babe passin' through

I hurt my foot on Friday and today it is still swollen and more painful than it was before. Good thing all my classes are at least a 15 minute walk from my dorm, but most of them are around 30 minutes. And now I have to go to the doctor on Friday because it legitimately hurts to put on a shoe and it's swollen and puffy right over where it hurts, which is on the top of my foot. I'm 90% sure I have a stress fracture, which will be great for when I go to Fright Fest on Friday night and Never Shout Never with A Rocket to the Moon at Starland on Saturday.
I seriously cannot fucking wait to come home. Friday cannot get here fast enough.

Summary | The membrane-associated protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intracellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the ABC1 subfamily. Members of the ABC1 subfamily comprise the only major ABC subfamily found exclusively in multicellular eukaryotes. The full transporter encoded by this gene may be involved in development of resistance to xenobiotics and engulfment during programmed cell death. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. |

Is 9-9-9 enough to keep Herman Cain a GOP front-runner?
Herman Cain is enjoying a surge in popularity in New Hampshire. But will his 9-9-9 tax plan withstand the scrutiny that top-tier candidates must face?
Nashua, NH
Herman Cain is enjoying a surge in popularity in New Hampshire. He finished second to Mitt Romney in a recent poll here and rode a wave of momentum into Tuesday's debate at Dartmouth College, where he proved to be the primary challenger to the front-runner.
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
The question now is whether he can sustain his top-tier status under the scrutiny of voters who like to meet candidates up close and dig for details behind catch phrases such as "9-9-9" – Cain's oft-repeated slogan for his plan to radically alter the federal tax structure.
"He's the latest candidate around whom people who are dissatisfied with the idea of Mitt Romney as the eventual nominee are coalescing," says Christopher Galdieri, who teaches a class on the New Hampshire primary at St. Anselm College in New Hampshire.
RECOMMENDED: Election 101: Herman Cain
But candidates Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, and even Donald Trump have enjoyed such moments in the sun, he notes. It's not clear yet, Mr. Galdieri says, whether there's "genuine strong support for Herman Cain himself or whether it's more conservative Republicans just checking him out ... as a potential nominee."
Cain garnered 20 percent support among likely voters in the New Hampshire Republican party in a poll released Monday by political institutes at St. Anselm and Harvard University. That's still significantly behind former Massachusetts Governor Romney's 38 percent. Congressman Ron Paul of Texas took third place with 13 percent.
But few voters are firm on their preferences at this point. Among Romney supporters in the poll, just 10 percent said they'd definitely vote for him; for Cain it was just 6 percent.
New Hampshire – traditionally the first state in the nation to hold a primary vote – is famous for its anything-can-happen-here reputation. Independents, about 40 percent of the voters in New Hampshire, can opt to vote in either party's primary, and experts say it's hard to gauge how many of them will vote until the election looms much closer. The date of this year's primary vote is still to be decided, but could come as early as December.
Cain, former head of the Godfather's Pizza chain, managed to grab the spotlight during much of Tuesday night's debate, and "he's very engaging in that format," says Linda Fowler, a Dartmouth professor of government who has long followed New Hampshire primaries.
But his appealing shoot-from-the hip style, a quality which served John McCain well in the 2008 Republican primary, may not be enough to sway voters this time around, Professor Fowler says. Voters in New Hampshire, as in the rest of the country, are deeply concerned about the economy, and they'll be looking at the details of his plan to institute a 9 percent income tax, 9 percent business tax, and 9 percent sales tax.

Amy - Welcome to WebmasterWorld. The above sounds like you're talking about the meta keywords tag. It's pretty unlikely that the meta keywords tag is going to help you rank on any search engine these days... and even when it did help, the longer it was, the less likely it was to help. Here are a couple of threads about meta tags... This one discusses the length of the keywords tag: This one discusses the intelligent use of meta tags, and as you can see as you read all of it (and I recommend that you do), the original post was perpetuating some misunderstandings about how useful the tags were... And here's [searchenginewatch.com] by Danny Sullivan about the "Death of a Meta Tag," which talks about the history of the meta keywords tag... and about why it's now ancient history. The title tag is technically not a meta tag, though it's sometimes grouped with them... and that tag is very important to search. There are a lot of reasons why what you can effectively target on one page is limited. The length of the title tag is among them. Try to keep this tag under 60 or 70 characters... less for competitive phrases. Large catalogue sites are particularly hard to optimize. Page focus is extremely important. So, to get back to your original question, whether you use meta keywords or not... you want to think of each page as being optimized for a few phrases, at most, made up of not very many words. Hope this helps.
>>Regarding meta tags - I put the entire list (it's a long one)
of meta tags on every page in the site.<<

The Raijū
by Brent Swancer
Since the dawn of time, humans have looked to the skies with a sense of wonder and fascination. The wind, the sky, clouds, thunder and lighting, these things have always captured the imagination and held a certain mystical quality. Since long before the age of science, human beings have looked to the heavens and sought to explain these phenomena, to find some way to grasp how they fit into the universe that they know.
In Japan, thunder and lightning were the elements of the Raijū, or literally "thunder beast," the mighty servants of the Shinto god of thunder. These creatures were most often described as looking something like a badger, weasel, cat, or fox, although they were sometimes said to look like a wolf or monkey as well. Some accounts speak of the creatures having wings, or having multiple tails. They are quite often depicted as being wreathed in crackling lightning, and their voices were the boom of thunder. Raijū were said to descend to the earth upon lightning bolts, ride atop lighting, or to travel about in hovering balls of lightning. During storms, these creatures would become very agitated, frantically dashing about and leaping from tree to tree, tearing up the bark in the process with their formidable claws. In Japanese folklore, it was said that trees scored by lighting had been the work of Raijū claws.
With all of this fierce and dramatic imagery surrounding Raijū, it is perhaps no wonder that people feared and respected these otherworldly creatures. It did not help that these thunder beasts were thought to be fond of swooping down from trees to bite and slash at passerby. During storms, people avoided hiding under trees, where it was believed the Raijū were most active and likely to attack. It was said that one of the favorite targets of Raijū was the navel, which prompted many to protect their stomach or lie face down during stormy weather. Yet for all of the menace they projected, Raijū were thought to be unable to pass through mosquito nets, and also to abhor the smell of burning incense.
Japan has a long history of stories concerning these strange entities falling from the sky, and a few reports even tell of them being killed and eaten by farmers. There are additionally many accounts of these fallen Raijū actually being captured alive.
One such account concerns a Raijū that was captured in the 18th century on Mt. Asama, Shimane prefecture. This specimen was then kept in an iron net and put on display for all to see. Most onlookers described the animal as looking like something between a fox and a weasel, and possessing sharp, curved claws. The creature refused to eat or drink during its captivity, and would become extremely agitated before the evening rain. During stormy weather, its hair would stand on end and it would emit a high pitched, shrieking noise.
Another such creature was captured in the fiefdom of Lord Nagai, in the Iwatsuki ward of Saitama prefecture. The Raijū was allegedly caught while tearing through a garden and damaging vegetables in the aftermath of a storm. Upon its capture, the creature was kept for a time in a cage before it died from refusing to eat or drink. The animal was reported to have the unusual appearance of a puppy with the claws of a bear. The feet were described as having many knuckles, and the pelt was thin except for thicker fur beneath the legs.
One Raijū allegedly fell into a well in Izumo province, where it became hopelessly entangled in ropes and was captured alive. The creature was subsequently exhibited within a cage of brass in the court of the temple of Tenjin, in Matsue city. The animal was said to resemble a badger. When the weather was clear, the Raijū was quite docile, sleeping quietly in its cage most of the time. However, during storms it would become a ferocious, hissing beast, and its eyes were said to flicker and flash as if filled with lightning.
A farmer captured yet another Raijū in 1766, when one fell from the sky in Oyama in the Sagami province. The farmer showed the animal for money on the Riyo-goku bridge. It was described as black in color, a little larger than a cat, and having the appearance of a weasel. Each of the creature's paws was adorned with five prominent, vicious looking claws. Similarly to the other captured Raijū described so far, this specimen was also tame during calm weather, yet savage during storms, during which it would furiously rattle and claw at its cage. It also refused any food given to it.
In addition to live Raijū, there are many alleged mummies of these creatures kept in locations around Japan. One such mummy is kept at Yuzanji temple in Iwate prefecture. The mummy looks very much like a cat, only with longer legs and no discernible eye sockets. It was allegedly received in the 1960s as a donation from a parishioner, although the exact origin of the mummy is not known.
Another similar looking Raijū mummy is kept at Saishoji temple in Niigata prefecture. The sacred nature of these artifacts makes any DNA testing unlikely, however there is a very good possibility they are examples of elaborate gaffes, or creative taxidermy.
The accounts of creatures riding balls of lightning or crashing to the ground upon lightning bolts may understandably make many skeptical of the existence of a creature like the Raijū. With such fantastical elements, it may appear as though these are beasts from the depths of human imagination rather than from the sky. At the very least it seems obvious that accounts of these creatures have been embellished and imbued with folkloric elements. However, is it possible that somewhere at the heart of this folklore, there might be a zoological explanation for the Raijū?
Certainly the ancient Japanese, like those of many cultures throughout the world, would have looked upon natural phenomena such as storms with a sense of curiosity and awe. Lacking an understanding of science, they may have tried to explain these things with such supernatural tales of divine thunder beasts sent down from the skies. Many known animals in Japan have been linked in folklore with a wide range of natural phenomena. Perhaps with the Raijū we have something that similarly started as a real animal, that became associated with storms and lightning through an attempt to come to grips with these forces, and thus became entrenched in mythological lore. It might have started with something as simple as someone seeing a tree struck by lightning and the animals in question running for cover, which might have given the impression that these creatures had fallen down in a bolt from above. Tales of the Raijū flying within spheres of lightning may have been an attempt to explain ball lightning in the context of an animal they knew about. Could the Raijū have been a real animal seen though the lens of superstition concerning the power and mystery of nature?
Indeed, if one strips away the more outlandish elements such as riding lightning or flying in balls of plasma, we are left with something that seems consistent with a flesh and blood animal.
What animal could possibly account for such outlandish stories? We will explore the answer to this question and more in Part 2. Stay tuned!

I remember once someone LFG for stocks in SW. Someone asked if they had a tank and the reply back is "yeah, and a healer - just looking for a few to join."
Okay, why not?
Um...yeah. The "tank" was also the one who was putting together the run. So why did I put "tank" in quotations? Because a 'lock with a voidwalker that he sends in first is most DEFINITELY NOT a "tank".
At least the healer was a priest - and he was the first one to leave, saying "you can't tank with a pet. Bye."
