Togetic (EX Team Rocket Returns 14)
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Togetic (Japanese: トゲチック Togechick) is a Colorless-type Stage 1 Pokémon card. It is part of the EX Team Rocket Returns set.
Card text
Dive is a move in the Pokémon games, though Togetic cannot learn it; however, it should be noted that the Japanese name for this attack does not refer to Dive and is a card game-exclusive move. Rainbow Moves' effect is similar to that of the TCG version of Metronome, which Togetic can learn.
|This article is part of Project TCG, a Bulbapedia project that aims to report on every aspect of the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

Turner Learning is re-launching its CNN-branded educational programs as CNN Student News, an integrated platform offering daily on-air and online resources for middle and high school classrooms. The relaunch also includes a new Education Sponsor initiative that allows sponsors to support additional features, weekly reports and special series on-air and online.
CNN Student News offers teachers more resources and functionality with three components that can be used as a single integrated program or independently: On-Air, Online and Hands-On Resources. The On-Air component includes CNN Student News, formerly CNN Newsroom, a commercial- and cost-free news and features program designed specifically for classroom use. The program is divided into two 15-minute segments - CNN Student News and CNN Student News Perspectives - allowing teachers to select and use the segments that best fit their curriculum requirements.
The Online component complements the on-air program, offering additional detail and resources, including daily lesson plans for teachers, feature articles, in-depth specials, links to other educational resources, video clips and other interactive elements.
The Hands-On Resources component offers expanded resources that allow teachers to integrate news, current events and special programming into their classrooms. A key resource is the CNN Student Bureau, a program that offers a voice to the world's youth. This project-centered learning program gives high school and college students worldwide the opportunity to build a range of skills through journalism, including research, writing and presentation skills. Stories appear on CNN Student News Perspectives and on broader CNN networks. Turner Learning, Atlanta, GA, (800) 344-6219, www.turnerlearning.com.

Stinky mess: Dead fish floating at one of the fish farms in Tanjung Kupang in the Johor Straits near Gelang Patah.
GELANG PATAH: Land reclamation around the Tanjung Kupang area has been causing mass deaths of fishes in farms, claim breeders.
At least 10 fish farms and 250 traditional fishermen are affected after fish started dying in large numbers since Monday.
Dead fish could also be seen floating along the waters from Puteri Harbour in Nusajaya to Tanjung Kupang, and these include jenahak (snapper), kerapu (grouper), senangin (threadfin) and ikan merah (mangrove jack).
Fish farmer Lee Boon Hock, 30, said he suffered losses of more than RM150,000 in three days as more than 90% of his fish as well as 70,000 senangin fry had died.
"We can only salvage what is left but those fish still have to be tested to see if they are safe for consumption," he said at his fish farm near Kampung Pendas, right below the Second Link here yesterday.
He noticed that the sea water had been polluted and turned brownish after the land reclamation project began about a month ago.
Kampung Ladang/Tanjung Kupang Fishermen Club chairman Ibrahim Atan said he had received lots of complaints, especially from fishermen in Kampung Ladang, Tanjung Kupang, Kampung Poh and Tanjung Pelepas.
He said for many of them, fishing was their source of incomeand the incident had caused their catch to drop by 50% since Monday.

PLACARD-waving trade unionists were at locations across South Tyneside today during a day of protest in support of a "decent pay rise".
As part of a national drive, Unison members were organising protests, stunts and rallies at lunchtime, working jointly with the GMB and Unite unions.
In addition to a call for better pay it is designed to highlight the impact government cuts are having on council jobs and services.
In South Tyneside, the main gathering point at noon was to be outside the Central Library in South Shields.
But there were also to be protests at Strathmore House in Jarrow, Hebburn Civic Centre, Middlefields Recycling Village, Chuter Ede Education Centre and Landreth House, all South Shields.
As a day of protest – it is not industrial action – the wide range of activities on the day aim to "highlight the dire state of local government pay and the disastrous impact of cuts on local jobs and services".
The Local Government Employers are consulting councils on pay and will be meeting on February 13 to decide how much they will offer members in response to a pay claim of an additional £1 per hour.
In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, activities will include getting members to write to their councillors and MPs, and send postcards to the Local Government Association, asking it to respond to the pay claim.
Merv Butler, branch secretary of Unison South Tyneside, said: "Maximum pressure needs to be applied before the Local Government Employers meet on February 13 to agree their response to the pay claim.
"The branch is holding lunchtime protests at various workplaces between noon and 1pm.
"We are asking members to come out at lunchtime and show their support for the pay campaign."

Here is a gorgeous pair of aquatic scene vases in translucent green decorated with applied and enameled glass fish swimming against a polychrome underwater scene. Each vase is accented with applied glass `drip' handles and each measures approx 7.75" tall. Each vase is numbered on the bottom, the first with the blue leaf on the back is marked "11" the second with the orange leaf is marked "15". Neither is signed by the maker, however the shape of these particular vases and similar examples at auction over the years tells us they are in fact Moser. The vase with the blue leaf is completely undamaged, no chips or cracks. Both vases have normal wear to the bases, as well as, gilt wear to the top. The vase with the orange leaf on the back is damaged on the bottom (see photo), there is a crack in the glass which can not be felt from the outside that leads away from what we call "point of impact", where it was dropped, the pencil sized "impact point" can be felt, however, that being said we have had this piece for many years and the damage has not `spread'. The vase still displays nice and makes a great companion to the other.

Some cases of MRSA have been reported lately in Lexington, according to the Lexington-Fayette County Health Department.
"We've received several reports at the Health Department of MRSA in the community so we're trying to take a proactive approach to let people know the steps they can take to keep from getting sick from this," says Kevin Hall with the Lexington-Fayette County Health Department.
MRSA, which stands for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, is resistant to many antibiotics.
Health officials say staph infections, including MRSA, are usually found among people in health care facilities who have weakened immune systems.
However, officials say these kinds of infections are becoming more common in people who haven't been to a health care facility.
While infections such as MRSA often cause skin infections such as boils and abscesses, officials say they can also cause more serious infections such as pneumonia or blood infections.
Officials say MRSA can be treated, but it's difficult to cure, so prompt recognition and treatment is important.
"What happens is if you get a wound or cut, the staph infection can get into your body and causes some problems," says Kevin Hall.
The Lexington-Fayette County Health Department provided the following tips to help prevent the spread of MRSA:
" Wash your hands. Use warm, soapy water, and if that's not available, use alcohol-based hand sanitizers. Shower immediately after exercising. Keeping clean and practicing good hygiene can help stop the spread of MRSA.
" Don't share items such as clothing, towels, razors, bars of soap or other personal items. Don't share sports equipment. Again, practicing good hygiene is essential here.
" If you have a cut or wound, be sure to keep it covered with a clean, dry bandage until it has healed.
" Regularly clean frequently touched surfaces and surfaces that come into direct contact with people's skin. Use rubbing alcohol or a diluted bleach solution. Mix one tablespoon of bleach into a quart of water. The solution must be in contact with a surface for a minimum of two minutes for effective disinfection.

Without giving any time frame, the FCC chief also noted his agency is "working with stakeholders" on allowing LTE in the "L band" historically reserved for satellites. That's where LightSquared has sought to deploy a controversial national LTE network. LightSquared, now bankrupt, had its earlier plans shot down by the FCC and recently proposed a new plan that would include a spectrum swap with the government.
The moves Genachowski laid out on Thursday should help build up capacity and keep several competitive carriers supplied with spectrum, said analyst Tim Farrar of TMF Associates. But the planning and building of networks is yet to come, he cautioned.
"No one's going to notice a difference next year because of what he's announcing today," Farrar said. Even the most immediate developments probably won't yield new networks or added performance for two or three years, he said.
In light of this, it's likely the FCC will hand out strict buildout timelines along with the spectrum licenses, Farrar said. When it approved Verizon's acquisition of spectrum from a group of cable companies earlier this year, the agency forced a faster rollout of the network to make sure the spectrum got used, he said. "There've been people who sat on spectrum in the past," Farrar said.

"It's a whole new ball game," Phelps said. "The court said there are no restrictions and all (a concealed carry law) had to be was reasonable."
He said last year's bill included prohibitions on carrying guns in places like schools, sporting events, churches, courthouses and police stations, but that list could be whittled down. He is against allowing guns at schools, and was even before the Connecticut shootings.
Phelps' new proposal likely would contain a provision requiring an applicant to undergo a background check. It also would require training for applicants before they are granted a permit, but perhaps not as extensive as the previous bill's call for an 8-hour training class from state police and both a written and shooting test.
"I'm sure some legislators are going to want 4-5 hours," he said. "Some may want 32 hours, but I doubt they'll get that."
One thing all sides likely will agree on is not letting the 180 days expire without doing something.
"This isn't a fiscal cliff, but it is a cliff," Phelps said

The centuries-old story of their country and culture has been the foundation of the a cappella singing group Ladysmith Black Mambazo since its beginnings, almost fifty years ago. On 'Songs From A Zulu Farm,' out January 25, 2011 (Listen 2 Entertainment Group), the nine-man group returns to their origins in the open fields of Zulu country to recreate the idyllic world in which they once lived by singing traditional folk tunes sung by mothers and fathers to children throughout the generations.
"These are songs from the earliest time in our lives," says Ladysmith Black Mambazo founder and frontman Joseph Shabalala. "When we sing these songs, we're singing from our personal history. It is such a joy for us to put these stories and songs together for our fans to enjoy too."
'Songs From A Zulu Farm' speaks to the universal joys of childhood. "Whether you are in Ladysmith, Virginia, or Ladysmith, South Africa, children are hearing songs they will carry with them for the rest of their lives and share with their own children," Shabalala says. "We hope that these songs sung to South African children can be enjoyed by families in many other places in the world."
Among the 16 tracks on 'Songs From A Zulu Farm' is "Old McDonald… Zulu Style," the classic children's song reworked in ways never before imagined as it's piped through the language and culture of the Zulu people.
Listen to "Old MacDonald" here.
Shabalala professes his love and longing for the times and places of his youth in "Thalaza," a song he composed to encourage Zulus – and people of every nation and culture – to reconnect to the innocence of their younger years. "Your roots are who you are," says Shabalala, who revisits the farmland of his youth every month. "I go home to see the sights I've known since I was a baby. When I see a field there, I see my father and mother standing with me as a little boy. I love going home because it is just that…home."
Check out some Grateful Web coverage of Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
12/16 - Los Angeles, CA - The Troubadour
Three-fourths of California quartet Infantree may still be under 21, but with their startlingly sophisticated songwriting chops and lush vocal harmonies the young musicians are already composing timeless music. Signed to Vapor Records (Jonathan Richman, Everest, Tegan & Sara), the prolific band has released both an EP and a full-length this year. The latter of which, titled Would Work, will be re-released in early March with extra tracks and a bonus disc of video content. Neil Young also invited the guys to perform at this year's Bridge School Benefit alongside artists like Elvis Costello, Emmylou Harris, Modest Mouse, and Grizzly Bear.
With three songwriting members that take turns on lead vocals, Infantree have no true frontman. As a result, their highly collaborative approach creates a unique chemistry and the details of each of their songs are masterfully tailored. It also allows for a diverse set of influences to find their way into the band's music. The band weaves in sun-soaked Americana, intricate baroque pop, dreamy psychedelia, and infectious Spanish melodies, to name a few.
The group has made a video for Would Work track "Mourning Glory." The song slyly and seamlessly shifts between a forlorn, banjo-driven section and a wistful Latin-flavored groove. If you haven't seen the video yet, click HERE to watch the boys don chicken suits and duke it out in a human cockfight.
Infantree's attention to detail covers all aspects of the band, from consistently churning out charming videos for their songs to the band name itself. The guys explain the metaphor behind the name "Infantree" in their own words here:
Cas Haley is breaking out on his own terms.
Connection, his Easy Star Records debut, is aptly named. It's all about those deep-running connections that make him what he is—those unbreakable links between artist and audience, between styles of music, between art and life, and most of all, between all people. As Cas points out, reggae's core message is, after all, "one love."
His crystalline voice and funky, easygoing beats earned Cas a second-place finish on America's Got Talent, which in turn netted him a measure of fame and a following. But the contest also locked the Texan singer/songwriter/guitarist into a major label deal that didn't feel right. So, not wanting to be turned into a manufactured product, he struck out on his own. The superb result: Connection, a collection of songs basking in the philosophical and musical maturity that comes from staying true to his artistic vision.
Raised by musician parents, Cas grew up surrounded by the sounds of blues and 60s-70s rock. He got serious about the guitar at age 12 and was "taught by the tribe" of musicians passing through the house. "The kitchen would be turned into the practice room or for jam sessions, so I was pretty much born into that lifestyle," he says. And from the very beginning he was more inclined to create his own music than to slavishly learn covers.
Also prominent at home were the Bob Marley records his mother would play, which made a profound impression. After a period of heavy immersion in the sounds of the ska/punk/skateboard culture, Cas was blown away by the classic reggae-pop of bands like UB40 and Sublime, and his mature style began to take shape.
Those pop-inflected island grooves and his joyful, versatile voice helped bring Cas to the brink of stardom on America's Got Talent and sell 30,000 copies of a debut album with virtually no promotion. And they're fundamental to the soul of his music—what he calls the "relaxing, effortless playing where everything fits together." Elements of soul, blues, and pop swirl through Cas's strong reggae beats. Just like disparate musical styles, "we're way more connected than we think," Cas says. "We separate ourselves in so many different ways, but the whole theme of the album is that we're all connected."
"Every color," he sings in the title track, "is created from the same light."
Easy Star, the leading U.S.-based independent reggae label, is the ideal home for Connection. The label has been stretching beyond its strictly roots-reggae format, signing progressive bands and artists like John Brown's Body, Tommy T, and The Black Seeds. "Cas's sound is unique, accessible, and a great way to keep expanding the Easy Star audience," says CEO Eric Smith. "And it's not often we come across a singer-songwriter this talented, regardless of genre, so we had to work with Cas."
Mixed by Danny Kalb (Ben Harper, Beck), Connection bristles with chill grooves, rocking guitars, and funky horns, all fueling Cas's irresistible melodies. Meanwhile his lyrics effortlessly balance simple, spiritual truths with thoughtful reflection. Cas's songs recognize the complexities of life—love, family, worldly troubles and uncertainties—but always come back to the central message of connection.
It's the journey that matters; Cas is aiming for success on his own terms. "If I'm not doing it authentically then I don't want it," he says. His only goal: "To authentically express myself and help others do the same. Because it's a sweet life to be able to do that."

Named for a legendary Havana jazz cabaret, "Johnny's Dream Club" represents a place outside time - the vortex between New Orleans and Havana, where the parallel lines of Cuban music and American jazz converge. It's a new dimension of latin jazz --intense, lyrical, dangerously dream-like. Formell and his all-star quartet map this territory in a delirious sequence of juxtapositions: "Ciudad" ("City"), evoking the nightmare of an urban apocalypse, flows into a jazz ballad about an elusive love ("Siempre que te vas"); songs about being lost at sea ("Las islas son malvadas", "Cuando hable de la noche") and the bloody history of the Caribbean ("Yanbando") are set against haunting, mystical love songs ("Sotavento", "Fuego de Amor") inspired by Havana's "Feeling" movement.
A precursor to - and influence upon - bossa nova, Feeling emerged from the Bohemian enclaves of Centro Habana in the late 1940s. Feeling's free-style guitar, with progressive harmonies, diminished chords and bittersweet texts of disillusioned love reflected the sophisticated after-hours atmosphere of Havana's bohemian AfroCuban musicians: composer/guitarists Jose Antonio Mendez and Cesar Portillo de la Luz; singers Elena Burke and Omara Portuondo; pianists Bebo Valdes and Peruchin.
Feeling was also the starting point of Juan-Carlos Formell's biography. Born in Havana in 1964, a fourth generation Cuban musician, he learned the technique of the Feeling guitar from the creators of the genre: Mendez, Froilan, Guyun. He began composing in his teens, and studied bass with Andres Escalona, the first bassist of the Havana Symphony Orchestra. After completing his studies Juan-Carlos became the bassist for the jazz pianist Emiliano Salvador.
As a classically trained bassist, virtuoso guitarist, and composer gifted with a groundbreaking and powerful writing style, Juan-Carlos had all the elements to become a voice of his generation - but instead, was prevented from performing or recording his own work by Cuba's government-controlled music industry because his music didn't fit into any official category. In 1993, after touring Mexico as a replacement for bassist Cachaito Lopez, Juan-Carlos fled to the United State to realize his mission of creating a new wave of Cuban music. He settled in New York City and soon started his own band. His years of struggle were vindicated when he was signed to a major record label in 1999 and his debut album, "Songs from a Little Blue House" was nominated for a Grammy. Part prophet, part poet, in exile Juan-Carlos has forged a post-modern identity for AfroCuban music that has been hailed as "musical magic realism". His five albums constitute an epic poem of Antillean mytho-history, with songs ranging from a paen to the flora and fauna of his native country, a personal invocation to an AfroCuban deity, an ode to a sacred river or a hymn to the "divine light" that brings us to a union with our higher selves. Juan-Carlos describes his new project as "a reflection of our culture today -- in the post-modern landscape, we are all refugees from the broken city, haunted, adrift at sea, in danger of losing our true reference points and losing our way forever. I keep returning to New Orleans for inspiration because I believe that there, at the crossroads of the Caribbean, it's possible to create music that embraces the past while gazing at the future -- a new music without genres and categories."
Juan-Carlos Formell @ Zinc Bar | NYC -- November 10th, 2010
ZINC BAR 82 West 3rd St (btw Sullivan & Thompson) sets: 9:30 PM, 11:30 PM & 1:00 AM
On December 4th, the musicians bring us full circle in a tribute to Jerry Garcia's musical legacy. Join us as we come together to celebrate the music and where it will take us next. Join the Rex Foundation for a one-of-a-kind evening to celebrate the music and the musicians, and to help us cover just a little more ground.
Set up in festive cabaret style with reserved seating on the floor, The Fillmore, with its beauty and iconic connection to Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead, sets the stage for this special occasion. At the pre-concert reception, enjoy hearty finger foods and beverages as you reconnect with friends and family. Your generous reception/concert ticket purchase of $150 or $500, of which all but $70 is a charitable contribution, will fund Rex Foundation grant making, and you'll receive a print of the event poster designed by Cory and Catska Ench.
In 1962, Jerry Garcia began playing the banjo and exploring bluegrass music, forming a band called the Hart Valley Drifters that included David Nelson on guitar. In 1964, Jerry and his pal Sandy Rothman packed up a tape recorder and took off for the American South on a bluegrass pilgrimage, especially wanting to see "Jim and Jesse" (McReynolds), of Dothan, Alabama. Jerry was delighted to see them perform and get Jesse's autograph, and he held Jesse's mandolin playing and music in high esteem for many years. Jim and Jesse went on to legendary status in the bluegrass world, with more than 45 years at the Grand Ole Opry, Grammy nominations and awards, and membership in any Hall of Fame that means anything to this music.
Meanwhile, in 1969, as the Grateful Dead released Aoxomoxoa, they also turned to their own musical roots. Jerry, wanting to play his new pedal steel guitar, reconnected with old friend John "Marmaduke" Dawson and with Nelson, forming New Riders of the Purple Sage. As the Grateful Dead continued to evolve, in 1973 he formed another bluegrass band, Old and in the Way, with David Grisman, John Kahn, Peter Rowan and Vassar Clements.
Fast forward to today: David Nelson and Friends fire up fans with their electric sounds, and the New Riders play their past favorites along with new songs written by David and Robert Hunter. Grammy Award winner and five-time Grammy nominee Peter Rowan is a bluegrass singer/songwriter whose career spans over five decades; his continuous stream of original recordings, collaborative projects and tours has garnered a devoted, international fan base.
Now Jesse has just released Songs of the Grateful Dead - A Tribute to Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter. Collaborating on this special album of 12 classic Dead songs, from Black Muddy River and Ripple to Franklin's Tower and Standing on the Moon, is none other than David Nelson. And, to top it off, there's a brand-new McReynolds-Hunter tune called Day by Day. Check out the music and get a sampling of Jesse McReynolds' talents here.

Neil Fallon, Tim Sult, Dan Maines, and Jean-Paul Gaster will say goodbye to 2010 the same way they began it 365 days prior, kickin' out the jams on the big stage. Asheville, North Carolina's "The Orange Peel" will be the site of veteran rock band Clutch's traditional American New Year's Eve performance. In recent years the four piece Maryland hard rock act has LOUDLY rang in the New Year with epic performances in such great American cities as Detroit, Washington DC, Baltimore, Atlantic City (Sayerville, NJ), Flint, and Grand Rapids, MI. Tickets are available exclusively to fanclub members beginning today, and will be open to the public this Friday. Next week, Clutch will announce a short December tour which will lead up to this special NYE date, as well as the support package which will accompany the band on the road.
2010 has seen Clutch release a plethora of well received international audio, video and digital product via their new label Weathermaker Music, including notable double disc re-issues of "From Beale Street to Oblivion" and "Robot Hive/Exodus." The expanded double disc edition of "Blast Tyrant" will be released in January 2011, with further details to be announced next week at www.Weathermakermusic.com. Weathermaker will also be issuing forth special vinyl editions of all three re-issues, to be ready for turntables in the Spring.
2010 has also seen Clutch experience an increased amount of exposure (due not only to the formation of Weathermaker Music and the band's massive touring schedule) but also due to higher billing on visible events such as Austin City Limits (Austin, TX), The High Voltage Classic Rock Festival (London, UK) and The Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival (Nashville, Manchester, TN). In addition, television appearances such as Comcast Cable's "In Concert - On Demand" and most recently Fox News TV (see below) have given music fans the long awaited visual to match the bands classic sound.
In other Weathermaker Music news, Thanksgiving day (November 25th) will be the live stream debut of the one of a kind (4) hour podcast counting down the Top 20 Clutch songs of all-time! These songs are 100% voted on by the fans during a special Weathermakermusic.com fan-poll which began on October 1st and will close on November 9th. There are currently over 4000 votes to date!

Madame Guillotine is a fine sport pitch on the clean, blank-looking face between Werk Supp and Bastille Crack. Start up Marie Antoinette, a thin crack just to the right of Werk Supp that ends about 20' up. Where the crack ends, embark on a long, rising, bolt-protected traverse to the right (crux). The climbing here is very typical of Eldo: you either have a decent handhold, or a decent foothold, but rarely both! Before reaching Bastille Crack, continue straight up past more bolts on fun, thin face climbing (5.11). After the last bolt, trend right to meet up with Bastille Crack just below its second belay. There are a few worthy variations: If you want a short, single pitch of hard climbing, you can do the crux of MG past the first 4 bolts, and then traverse right into the crux of the Northcutt Start, and finish at the two bolt anchor on that route. If you want a long, but somewhat easier pitch, you can climb Marie Antoinette through it's crux runout (5.9X), up to the bolt on that route, and then traverse up and right to join the upper half of Madame Guillotine (5.11). Belay on Bastille Crack. The proudest link-up would be Madame Guillotine into Hairstyles and Attitudes!
Many draws and a light rack. I used a yellow Alien getting up to the first bolt, and then a green and a red Camalot to make the belay on the Bastille Crack at the end of the pitch (fixed pin here as well).
Sorry, I don't have my guidebook with me to check the FA info. Anyone know who put this up? -Scott
FA: Erik Fedor, Rob Candelaria, 1989.
A few more variations for those looking to enjoy the upper 5.11 section of MG: You can start on the Northcutt Start, and continue up the thin corner to start clipping bolts on MG. You can also Climb Werk Supp to Nexus into the upper 3 bolts of MG. All are great variation pitches on good rock!
News Flash - All nine bolts on Madame Guillotine were recently replaced. All new bolts are 1/2" x 4.75" stainless Powers 5-piece. Allegedly completed by masked bandits with bad attitudes and a beat up Bosch.

Hey fellow Portland metro mate. Yes the little heard of religion whose tenants predate the world's big three religions is recognized by Baha'u'llah as founded by a supreme messenger. But if you're looking for Zoroastrian information in Baha'i texts, you should first understand a small detail that is very misunderstood about the Baha'i Faith.
Well intentioned Baha'is sometimes say that the Baha'i Faith thinks all the religions are true... not exactly. To be more specific, Baha'u'llah named 7 religions being practiced in the world and said that they were founded by a greater Prophet, and all of them fundamentally agree. In a little more detail, the Baha'i writings recognize that the current teachings of most of these religions are far distorted from the originals, that they were religions meant for a past age, and that they represent the absolute truth and only means for eternal life until the next Messenger comes. As if there is a shelf life for religions. In that sense, what Zoroaster said and did is recognized as absolutely from God, but the small group of Zoroastrians in Iran who are dwindling down into extinction are not seen to be in harmony with God's plan. I'm saying this because you will see Zoroaster mentioned as a Messenger, equal with the others, but not a lot more than that.
I hope your attempt to fill out the Zoroastrian pages goes well, but I don't want to put in a lot of time and effort into that project... I would rather be doing Baha'i pages. Let me know if you have any specific questions. Don't forget to mention that the three wise men who visited Jesus were Zoroastrians. And write me if you want to join us for any Baha'i events at PSU. We're having a introduction/social night this weekend. Cuñado - Talk 23:30, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
- No need to apologize, you already know more than half of the United States knows about the Baha'i Faith. I cringe at the word "convert", cause some people think that a single event (declaration of faith) is all that really matters.
- If you want to know how Baha'u'llah came up with the list, I would say he has innate knowledge and just knows. After personally studying a lot, it just makes sense to me, and anyone who doesn't acknowledge the divine origin of all the mentioned religions would be obviously mistaken. Cuñado - Talk 18:45, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
bengali suggestions[edit]
hey khirad i somewhat answered your questions on the bengali talk page. let me know if you have any more thoughts/questions!
--SameerKhan 00:33, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi Khirad![edit]
I found your page realy interesting Khirad , nice to see you here , by the way I am very interested to learn more about Zoroastrian esoteric/mystic practices and traditions and also their contribution to Sufism , unfortunately I have found very little information so far , I guess you can help me , actualy I am well versed in Sufism and have a huge interest in all kinds of mystic and occult thought but do not know so much about Zoroastrianism (shameful eh?),I also would appreciate any help regarding Zoroastrian literature for expanding the almost empty Persian Literature entry.By the way my major fields of study are Persian literature (mostly literature written after Islamic conquest of Persia) , Sufism and the modern occult(19-21 century) ,it seems that you are interested in all of these subjects.
And you might like this proverb : "There is a link between the hearts" (a Persian proverb , used when someone mentions his intentions, emotions etc and it happens to describe his fellow)
Good Luck! Pasha Abd 03:29, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Just want to say I found your page quite fascinating. I am interested in Iran, India, and their religious traditions. I am intrigued by Zoroastrianism, Sufism, and Vaishnavism. I'll read more of your work when I can tear myself away from Civilization IV. :P Siyavash 01:18, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

I agree that Parsi needs to be expanded, particularly the migration from Persia and general history. I'll do it in a couple of weeks after I'm done with my current project if no one else has. Also, do have any idea idea what the -walla means at the end of many Parsi names? My girlfriend would like to know.--Hraefen 07:16, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
Parsi (revisited)[edit]
I wrote the original text for Parsi/Parsee since the original placeholder (->Persian) was (IMO) really unsatisfactory.
I'm glad someone other than me has this on their "to-do" list now. :)
In my original entry, I mentioned Parsis recieving Scheduled Tribe status in 2004. This was based on a statement my father made in early 2005. I've since tried, without any luck, to find a verifiable source that can back this up. Worse yet, it appears to have been adopted by the Adivasi entry. Need help here.
Fullstop 14:15, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
Re: Hraefen's question what the -walla suffix means.
In short, it means "person". :) In the context of a family name, -walla (or -wala or -wallah or -val[l]a) usually indicates "a person who has such-and-such profession", but is also (albeit less commonly) used to indicate "a person who comes from such-and-such place".
-walla may be considered equivalent to the saxon -er or -or as in Miller, Mayor (the professions), or Berninger (as in place). The germanic -man or -mann is similar.
While virtually all Parsi family names are references to profession, they are not necessarily suffixed by -walla, nor are they necessarily typically Parsi (-walla is not necessarily Parsi either). Professions that have a proper name - the equivalent of Smith for instance - do not have a -walla suffix. Neither do names that are in English, like "Doctor", "Engineer", "Cooper" and "Merchant".
The term "walla" (or "wallah" as the British use it) was incorporated into the english language during the colonial years. It has a slight derogatory connotation in British public school english - as in, "he's a Throgmorton Street wallah" to indicate the subject made his fortune on the stock exchange (as opposed to being from a family which would enable him to inherit it).
The Random House dictionary entry for [-]wallah states: "a person in charge of, employed at, or concerned with a particular thing (used in combination)".
Fullstop 14:15, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
Parsi tribal status followup[edit]
I've since removed the lines that state that Parsis have tribal status from both Parsi and Adivasi entries. I've followed up my edits with a comment on the Adivasi talk page. - Fullstop 12:57, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
Parsi disambig[edit]
I've followed your (and Taxman's) suggestion to resolve the disambig Parsi, but rather than move it to another page (as you asked, what title would it have?), I've simply applied a little wordplay at the top to reference the alternate meanings.
Better now? :) -- Fullstop 20:47, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Pre-Islamic Persian literature etc[edit]
Thank you so much Khirad.The proverb in Persian says : "Del Be Del Raah Daarad"
"دل به دل راه دارد"
Among Sufi writers , my most favorite is Ibn Arabi , Sufism and Taoism : A comparative study of key philosophical concepts , Toshihiko Izutsu whose "Sufism" part is entirely deidicated to Ibn Arabi was a particularly interesting book to me.The authors understanding of Sufism is so deep and this book is one of the comparatively few books which discuss the more philosophical side of Sufism (most people focus on the poetic side of the Sufi writings you know).
Looking foreward to more messages from you. Pasha 20:32, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Invitation and Recommendations for writing articles on Hindi Wikipedia[edit]
Hindi wikipedia invites and welcomes Wikipedians to contribute for the cause of spreading knowledge and the Hindi language. This page contains guidelines for writing a wiki-article on any topic at the Hindi Wikipedia, with special recommendations for writing in Hindi (Note: The script/font-family for Hindi is Devanāgari; the script/font-system for English is Roman script, also, the Hindi spelling system is not completely standardized). This article is yet in English language (mostly), in order to encourage even non-native/foreign people who have learnt/are learning Hindi to contribute to the Hindi wikipedia, and native Hindi speakers who normally write in English. The examples given below are only for explanation.
- Firstly for proper viewing, it is recommended to keep all links NOT-UNDERLINED. Otherwise the मात्रा below the Hindi alphabets might get partly hidden behind the underlines. For this, please go to My Preferences (मेरी पसंद) at the top of the page, then click Misc., and then choose "underline links -> Never". Save your settings. Also, do not click yes for "justify paragraphs", otherwise on some browsers, the devanagari script will appear highly distorted.
- All users are requested and encouraged to contribute articles here, especially, to create new articles on general topics. They are also encouraged to expand the existing articles, and improve upon them. A non-user can also do the same; it is recommended but not required to register yourself as a wikipedian user at the Hindi wikipedia. As far as possible, each article should be written with a Neutral Point of View (NPOV)—no nationalistic or partiality or hatred based articles are welcome. The articles should be based on facts—and appropriate references should be provided as and where needed. See the English wiki's help page for editing in general. Almost all the general wiki-features are available for editing on Hindi wiki too. Guidelines for the content matter is mostly the same as given in English wiki.
- Since the Hindi wiki is at its initial stages, users are welcome to take introduction and basic points from the English (or another) wikipedia's corresponding article and translate them for small articles. An in-page link to the English wiki's article will be deemed sufficient for references (a template might be created stating this). For longer articles, it is recommended to mention the references separately.
- Since most computer users in India and elsewhere have the standard Western-type keyboard, it is best recommended (but not necessarily required) to use the virtual (software) keyboard like the one of Hindimozhi or of ISIS (Tavultesoft Keyman)—which are freewares. These are advantageous because the contemporary Hindi-speakers in India often write messages/chat using Hindi words but written in Roman (English) script, and the layout of these keyboards is quite the same that such people use. For example, using the "normal" keyboard with this software, typing ga would give ग and ghaa would give घा.
- Create the article with its name written in Hindi (devanagari script). Always take care to include the nukta (dot below) for foreign / Urdu loanwords wherever it occurs in the standard spelling. For non-Indian names, use that spelling (for article name and other words) which is commonly encountered in Hindi newspapers, G.K.-books, Hindi-dubbed TV documentaries and Hollywood films and magazines. e.g., America-अमरीका (या अमेरिका), China-चीन, French-फ़्रांसिसी. For English acronyms/short-forms, use the initials in Roman script, and again create a full form in Hindi and redirect it to the short form. e.g. IPA (अन्तर्राष्ट्रीय ध्वनि वर्णाक्षर); UNO (संयुक्त राष्ट्र संघ). Doing the opposite is also fine. But creating the article with the Hindi short form, as सं०रा०सं०, is not recommended. Also, the article proper must be written with the proper nukta, as फ़ारसी, and then, a non-nukta (mis-)spelt version फारसी should preferably be created to redirect to the correct spelling.
- Hindi wikipedia strongly recommends the users to write articles in everyday common Hindi in the खड़ीबोली dialect (Hindustani or Hindi-Urdu, i.e., बोलचाल वाली हिन्दी, which may include many loanwords from Persian and Arabic). The use of शुद्ध संस्कृतनिष्ठ हिन्दी is in general neither required nor recommended. E.g., use: वजह instead of कारण, ख़ास instead of विशेष, वगैरह instead of इत्यादि, लेकिन instead of परन्तु etc. However, for technical and specialized vocabulary, the use of शुद्ध संस्कृतनिष्ठ हिन्दी is recommended and usually mandatory. Thus: upper House of Parliament—संसद का उच्च सदन, but not Urdu—मजिलिस का ऐवान-ए-बाला ; Foreign Minister—विदेशमन्त्री, but not Urdu—वज़ीर-ए-ख़ारिजा ; knowledge/science—ज्ञान/विज्ञान, but not इल्म. Use spoken Hindi's ये and वो instead of यह and वह / वे. Do not use the title of respect जी after names, it is unencyclopedic. Thus: कृष्ण / श्री कृष्ण but not कृष्ण जी. Use the आप form and its corresponding 3rd person verbal conjugation for writing about respectable persons. Thus: श्री वाजपेयी मध्य प्रदेश में जन्मे थे. But not: वाजपेयी मध्य प्रदेश में जन्मा था. But do not use the pronoun "आप" itself in-text in biographies.
- English should be used sparingly, only when required; i.e., if the corresponding शुद्ध हिन्दी word is too "difficult and not generally encountered", or if it is a proper name of non-Indian person/place/terminology/title, or if the user is highly unsure of the proper translation. It is recommended (but not required) for English-to-Hindi translation while writing articles, the Shabdkosh online dictionary should be used. For each English word, that alternative should be used which is generally encountered in everyday spoken Hindi, and also fits well into the context. Use of intelligent guesses for newly encountered words is also allowed, and so are translations encountered in Hindi-dubbed TV documentaries, Hollywood films, Hindi-translated books, etc. e.g., दमपिशाच for en:Dementor (used in dubbed HP films).
- If used, it is recommended to use the English words within the articles using the English (Roman) alphabets rather than devanagari (or better, the devanagari transliteration should be used in the sentence, followed by the English word in Roman alphabet in parentheses). Such words should be italicized and not put in quotation marks. Preferably, there should be an in-page interwiki link (like :en:) on the word to the English wikipedia. If the word comes as an integral part of a sentence, so as not to break the continuity, the en: prefix should be hidden by writing the word again after the pipe sign (piped link). Thus, recommended:
हैरी पॉटर ने ''[[:en:Pensieve|Pensieve]]'' के अन्दर ''[[:en:Little Hangleton|Little Hangleton]]'' गाँव में लॉर्ड वोल्डेमॉर्ट की माँ ''[[:en:Merope Gaunt|Merope Gaunt]]'' को देखा. ''[[:en:Resplendent Quetzal|Resplendent Quetzal]]'' पक्षी के ऊपर एक मेक्सिकन पादरी डा० ''[[:en:Pablo de la Llave|Pablo de la Llave]]'' ने काफ़ी शोध किया था.Whence,
- हैरी पॉटर ने Pensieve के अन्दर Little Hangleton गाँव में लॉर्ड वोल्डेमॉर्ट की माँ Merope Gaunt को देखा
- Resplendent Quetzal पक्षी के ऊपर एक मेक्सिकन पादरी डा० Pablo de la Llave ने काफ़ी शोध किया था
- Always start the first 1 or 2 lines of the article giving its definition (from any standard dictionary/other wiki) or suitable introduction. Thus, recommended: ललिता सहस्रनामन हिन्दू धर्मसुधारक आदि शंकराचार्य द्वारा रचित देवी दुर्गा को समर्पित एक पूजा-मन्त्र है, जिसे कई हिन्दू रोज़ श्रद्धा से जपते हैं । But not: ललिता सहस्रनामन मन्त्र जपने के लिये लड्डू-पेड़ा, ताम्बुल, सिन्दूर, लाल चुनरी के साथ नित्य इस मन्त्र का पाठ करें, तो जल्द ही गड़ा हुआ ख़जाना मिलेगा । Recommended: वैमानिक अभियान्त्रिकी (en:Aeronautical engineering) विमानों (en:Aircrafts) की अभिकल्पना, निर्माण और प्रचालन करने का विज्ञान, कला और कार्य है । (translated from Eng. Webster's New World Dictionary). But not: आजकल वैमानिक अभियान्त्रिकी के लिये देशभर में कई कॉलेज खुल गये हैं, जिनमें अग्रणी स्थान यूटोपिया स्थित लालू-यादव टेक्लिनक कॉलेज का है ।
- For names of countries, cities, places, languages, people, books, films, technical vocabulary, mythology, etc, start the article like this:
- 1.
The name in bold ('''अपोलो''')
- 2.
starting parenthesis, then English name in Roman script, in-page interwiki-linked to English wiki ff. by semicolon ((अंग्रेज़ी : [[:en:Apollo]];)
- 3.
The native name(s) if applicable in the italicized native script, preferably followed either by its italicized approximate Hindi pronunciation or non-italicizedphonological transcription
within / /, ff. by closed parenthesis (यूनानी : ''Aπollων अपोल्लोन''))
- 4.
the rest of the definition or introduction (प्राचीन [[यूनानी धर्म]] (ग्रीक धर्म) और प्राचीन [[रोमन धर्म]] के सर्वोच्च देवता थे ।)For country names, only the standard short form of the name is needed in the first line. If there is a common name for a difficult word in Hindustani, also mention it. Whence: अपोलो (अंग्रेज़ी : en:Apollo; यूनानी : Aπollων अपोल्लोन) प्राचीन यूनानी धर्म (ग्रीक धर्म) और प्राचीन रोमन धर्म के सर्वोच्च देवता थे । If you don't give the interwiki English/another language link (which would be deemed to be the default reference), then you MUST provide an appropriate reference.
- Please leave no article without an appropriate category. See the list of created categories here; you can also make a new category (pref. in Hindi). Please leave no article without at least ONE off page (like en:) interwiki link. E.g., the user can check the article name (say Apollo) on the finally redirected English page and append to the Hindi article (
[[en:Appolo]])). These interlanguage links will help a bot to update all interwiki links for that article in all wikipedias. The category and the aforementioned link should be typed at the end of the article. If the article is very small, mention it as a stub/substub.
- Use of templates is welcome. See the list of templates here. If creating a template, name it pref. in Hindi.
- Use पूर्णविराम ( । ) instead of a period (.) for ending statements. The पूर्णविराम, semicolon, colon and dash (but not comma) must come after one space after the word to prevent ambiguity. Use the international form of the Hindu-Arabic numerals (1,2,3 instead of १,२,३), as used by the Constitution and the Government of India (even for Hindi). There is no need to use the हलन्त at the end of Sanskrit words wherever it occurs. Hence, prefer: संसद over संसद्; अथर्वन over अथर्वन्. Use the proper quotation marks "" from the Insert toolbox, not "". Write dates as 2 मई 2006 (ईसवी or ईसापूर्व). Write time as 3:45 pm. Separate common suffix-words like शास्त्र, विज्ञान, ज्ञान with a hyphen. Thus: रसायन-शास्त्र. For most others, leave both the words of the noun-cluster free. Combine them into one word only if it is very common to do so. Thus: सामवेद.
- The use of ज़ for the en:voiced alveolar fricative (/z/, as in zoo, rose) is fundamentally wrong. Its nearest counterpart is the en:voiceless alveolar fricative /s/ (as in sea), and not Hindi ज (en:voiced palatal plosive). Hence, it is suggested and recommended that for the sound /z/, whether it comes in English (etc.) spellings (z) for while pronunciation otherwise, should be transcribed as स़ (स with a dot below, available in the Insert toolbox). Hence: Reason रीस़न, not रीज़न ; Roses रोस़ेस़, not रोज़ेज़. But common Hindi words borrowed from Persian/Arabic (so-called Urdu words) are allowed to continue with ज़ spelling. Thus: ज़रा, नज़र, तर्ज़. The en:voiced postalveolar fricative (/ʒ/ as in treasure), inexistent in Hindi, can similarly be transcribed with श़. Thus: treasure ट्रॅश़र. The nukta (dot) available in the Insert toolbox can be combined with various consonants to suggest a more exact phonetic devanagari rendering of foreign sounds. E.g., since phonetically, English Think and this are not equal to थिंक and दिस, a better transcription could be थ़िंक and द़िस. Please take care of the dot below in so-called Urdu words, otherwise the Hindi spelling is deemed incorrect.
- For the following English vowels met, mate, mat, transcribe as मॅट (short vowel), मेट (not मेइट), मैट (not मॅट, as popular in Marathi). However in contemporary Hindi and here, it is acceptable to use ए instead of ऍ. Thus: अमेरिका is more popular than अमॅरिका. For cot, coat, caught, transcribe as कॉट, कोट, कॉट (not कौट). Transcribe English /t/ and /d/ as ट and ड.
- Use half-न before त, थ, द, ध, न, instead of anuswaar अं. Use half-म before प, फ, ब, भ, म. Use the anuswaar before all the rest of the consonants (not half-ङ, ञ, ण). If the मात्रा is not above the alphabet, use chandra-bindu, but only for nasalization. Thus: अन्दर, not अंदर ; अन्त, not अंत ; हिन्दी, not हिंदी ; सम्भव, not संभव ; पंचमी, not पञ्चमी ; अंडा, not अण्डा ; कंठ, not कण्ठ ; लैंड, not लैण्ड ; आँख, not आंख. However, both forms are acceptable in contemporary Hindi as well as here; the prec. are just recommendations.
- When proceded by another vowel, use the pure vowels instead of य (unless the य is clearly articulated while pronouncing). Thus : जाएँ, not जायें (not जावें) ; आएगा, not आयेगा . However, both forms are acceptable in contemporary Hindi as well as here.
- Please pay careful attention to the masculine/feminine gender (and singular/plural) in adjectives and verbs, else the sentence becomes ungrammatical.
For more information/suggestions/criticisms, please contact any one of the administrators of Hindi wiki here, preferably en:User:Magicalsaumy.

Thanks for uploading Image:Ayria Flicker Promo.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information.

Fair use rationale for Image:Ataraxia_band.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Ataraxia_band.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Thanks for uploading File:Afrinagan Chicago.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included.

Melanie White | April 10, 2014 | Comments
IBM is buying Silverpop, an Atlanta-based marketing automation company, for a reported $250 to $300 million.
IBM is acquiring Silverpop, a privately held Atlanta-based company specializing in marketing automation. The move is aimed at enhancing IBM's portfolio of services and targeting potential customers.
Financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed but reports suggest that it is a $250 to $300 million acquisition.
According to a statement from IBM, the combination of its own enterprise marketing portfolio with Silverpop's real-time personalization technology will create a complete and advanced customer engagement solution for businesses of all sizes and scenarios.
"The acquisition of Silverpop turbocharges IBM's ability to put the customer at the center of any organization," says Craig Hayman, cloud services general manager at IBM.
"Now, nearly any marketing, commerce, or customer service professional from any business will have the ability to deliver the kinds of personalized customer experiences that make a measurable impact on the brand experience and the bottom line," he adds.
IBM has been aggressively building out its marketing suite this year. Just last month the company invested $100 million to expand its data-driven capabilities and consulting strategy. The Silverpop acquisition, if approved by regulators, is expected to be complete by mid-year.

Foreign Correspondents on Vice
Interviews with a Commander and a Rebel Soldier in the FSA
VICE reached out to Robert King in an attempt to arrive at the twisted core of the matter in Syria. Today, we're serving up two interviews he conducted with the commander of the largest FSA brigade in Aleppo and a carpenter turned FSA rebel.
The Man Who Was There
Robert King Is the Bulletproof Ghost of Conflict Reporting
The situation in Syria is like many others throughout history—the eventual fallout of a religious minority ruling and oppressing the majority. I'm just trying to record it all, and I'll be back soon. That's the best I can do.
I Went to Syria to Learn How to Be a Journalist
Sunil Patel had never been published before he decided to go to Syria in August 2012 to become a war correspondent. It was a foolish idea for sure, and he almost died several times during his trip, but we still think his story was worth the risk.

Banks commits as Lewes close in on signings
8:24am Friday 23rd May 2014 in Sport By Howard Griggs
Lewes are closing in on their first new signings of the summer while continuing to tie down members of the existing squad.
Goalkeeper Rikki Banks is the fifth player from the squad Garry Wilson and Danny Bloor have built at the Dripping Pan to pledge his future to the club for next season.
Banks follows Jack Dixon, Fraser Logan, Nathan Crabb and Sam Crabb in agreeing to stay for another season.
Striker Luke Blewden has also made his loan move from Tonbridge Angels permanent.
Wilson and Bloor have met with potential signings and are hoping to get some answers over the next week or so.
Banks missed only four league games for Lewes last season after rejoining the club from Wealdstone.
Bloor said: "Rikki is a popular player at the club and fans will be pleased to hear he has re-signed.
"He did well for last season and is part of our plans as we look to push on.
"Garry and I are pleased all these players have agreed to stay. It is important to what we are trying to do here."

Holiday Letter from Spain
Dear Merrymakers, So it's that time of year again, and here I am in Barcelona, on the 24th of December, the sun shinning bright through the window panes. The news from home is all blizzards and snowmen, (and I'd be lying if I said I don't miss it) but here the weather is warm and […]
