Lions for sale: big game hunting combines with lion bone trade to threaten endangered cats
(04/18/2013) Koos Hermanus would rather not give names to the lions he breeds. So here, behind a 2.4-meter high electric fence, is 1R, a three-and-a-half-year-old male, who consumes 5kg of meat a day and weighs almost 200kg. It will only leave its enclosure once it has been "booked"' by a hunter, most of whom are from the United States. At that point the big cat will be set loose in the wild for the first time in its life, 96 hours before the hunt begins. It usually takes about four days to track down the prey, with the trophy hunter following its trail on foot, accompanied by big-game professionals including Hermanus. He currently has 14 lions at his property near Groot Marico, about two and a half hours by road west of Johannesburg.
Civet poop coffee may be threatening wild species
(04/16/2013) Popularization of the world's strangest coffee may be imperiling a a suite of small mammals in Indonesia, according to a new study in Small Carnivore Conservation. The coffee, known as kopi luwak (kopi for coffee and luwak for the civet), is made from whole coffee beans that have passed through the guts of the animal and out the other side. The coffee is apparently noted for its distinct taste, though some have argued it is little more than novelty.
Yangtze porpoise down to 1,000 animals as world's most degraded river may soon claim another extinction
(04/16/2013) A survey late last year found that the Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis) population has been cut in half in just six years. During a 44-day survey, experts estimated 1,000 river porpoises inhabited the river and adjoining lakes, down from around 2,000 in 2006. The ecology of China's Yangtze River has been decimated the Three Gorges Dam, ship traffic, pollution, electrofishing, and overfishing, making it arguably the world's most degraded major river. These environmental tolls have already led to the likely extinction of the Yangtze river dolphin (Lipotes vexillifer), or baiji, and possibly the Chinese paddlefish (Psephurus gladius), which is one of the world's longest freshwater fish.
Double bad: Chinese vessel that collided with protected coral reef holding 22,000 pounds of pangolin meat
(04/15/2013) What do you do when you're smuggling 22,000 pounds of an endangered species on your boat? Answer: crash into a protected coral reef in the Philippines. Last Monday a Chinese vessel slammed into a coral reef in the Tubbataha National Marine Park; on Saturday the Filipino coastguard discovered 400 boxes of pangolin meat while inspecting the ship. Pangolins, which are scaly insect-eating mammals, have been decimated by the illegal wildlife trade as their scales are prized in Chinese Traditional Medicine and their meat is considered a delicacy.
Future generations to pay for our mistakes: biodiversity loss doesn't appear for decades
(04/15/2013) The biodiversity of Europe today is largely linked to environmental conditions decades ago, according to a new large-scale study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Looking at various social and economic conditions from the last hundred years, scientists found that today's European species were closely aligned to environmental impacts on the continent from 1900 and 1950 instead of more recent times. The findings imply that scientists may be underestimating the total decline in global biodiversity, while future generations will inherit a natural world of our making.
How many animals do we need to keep extinction at bay?
(04/15/2013) How many animal individuals are needed to ensure a species isn't doomed to extinction even with our best conservation efforts? While no one knows exactly, scientists have created complex models to attempt an answer. They call this important threshold the "minimum viable population" and have spilled plenty of ink trying to decipher estimates, many of which fall in the thousands. However, a new study in Conservation Biology shows that some long-lived animals may not need so many individuals to retain a stable population.
Breaking the mold: Divya Karnad takes on fisheries and science journalism in India
(04/15/2013) Fishing is not a woman's domain in most countries across the globe. In parts of India there are fishing communities who believe that having a woman onboard a fishing boat brings bad luck. Despite this, Divya Karnad, a scientist who studies marine life in India, has spent several years studying fisheries and their impact on species like sharks and sea turtles. Her work forms a part of global efforts to track declining marine species and encourage more sustainable fishing.
New insect discovered in Brazil, only third known in its bizarre family (photos)
(04/15/2013) A new species of forcepfly named Austromerope brasiliensis, was recently discovered in Brazil and described in the open access journal Zoo Keys. This is the first discovery of forcepfly in the Neotropics and only the third known worldwide. The forcepfly, often called the earwigfly because the male genital forceps closely resemble the cerci of the common earwig, remains a scientific enigma due to the lack of information on the family.
Market figures out that geckos don't cure AIDS, but killing continues
(04/12/2013) Millions of tokay geckos continue to be traded for traditional medicine, despite waning belief that the colorful lizards are a cure for AIDS, reports a new study from TRAFFIC.
South African reserve poisons rhinos' horns to deter poaching
(04/11/2013) A game reserve in South Africa has taken the radical step of poisoning rhino horns so that people risk becoming 'seriously ill' if they consume them.
Mad Max sequel runs over sensitive desert ecosystem in Namibia
(04/11/2013) The Namib is the oldest desert on Earth, composed of gravel plains and dune fields that have been intact for circa 40 million years. It forms a thin strip along the coast of southwestern Africa running for approximately 2000 km from Namibia into Angola. Its unique assemblage of flora and fauna are specialised for desert life and include one of the longest lived organisms on the planet, a plant named Welwitschia mirabilis.
New species tree-dwelling porcupine discovered in critically threatened Brazilian habitat
(04/11/2013) Scientists in Brazil have described a new species of tree-dwelling porcupine in the country's most endangered ecosystems. The description is published in last week's issue of Zootaxa.
Saviors or villains: controversy erupts as New Zealand plans to drop poison over Critically Endangered frog habitat
(04/10/2013) New Zealand's Department of Conservation (DOC) is facing a backlash over plans to aerially drop a controversial poison, known as 1080, over the habitat of two endangered, prehistoric, and truly bizarre frog species, Archey's and Hochsetter's frogs, on Mount Moehau. Used in New Zealand to kill populations of invasive mammals, such as rats and the Australian long-tailed possum, 1080 has become an increasingly emotive issue in New Zealand, not just splitting the government and environmentalists, but environmental groups among themselves. Critics allege that the poison, for which there is no antidote, decimates local animals as well as invasives, while proponents say the drops are the best way to control invasive mammals that kill endangered species like birds and frogs and may spread bovine tuberculosis (TB).
Sarawak to protect population of rarest orangutan sub-species
(04/10/2013) After facilitating large-scale logging and conversion of extensive areas of rainforest habitat, the government of Sarawak says it will protect a population of up to 200 of the world's rarest Bornean orangutans recently identified during field surveys by conservationists, reports the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).
Beautiful striped bat is the "find of a lifetime" (photos)
(04/10/2013) Scientists have uncovered a rare, brilliantly-striped bat in South Sudan that has yielded new secrets after close study. Working in Bangangai Game Reserve during July of last year, biologist DeeAnn Redeer and conservationist Adrian Garsdie with Fauna & Flora International (FFI) came across an unmissable bat, which has been dubbed by various media outlets as the "badger bat" and the "panda bat."
Amur leopard population rises to 50 animals, but at risk from tigers, poachers
(04/09/2013) In the remote Russian far east, amid pine forests and long winters, a great cat may be beginning to make a recovery. A new survey estimates that the Amur leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis) population has risen to as many as 50 individuals. While this may not sound like much, it's a far cry from the a population that may have fallen to just 25 animals. Sporting the heaviest coat of any leopard, the Amur leopard largely hunts hoofed animals, such as deer and boar, in a forest still ruled by the Siberian tiger.
Looking beyond the hundred legs: finding new centipedes in India requires many tools
(04/08/2013) A small, boneless creature, that lives underground, with a "hundred" legs, and a rather powerful sting; some of these creatures are drab, but some are so beautiful and brightly colored that they can startle. Centipedes. There is more to a centipede than its many legs, and its habit of darting out of dark places. One of the first lifeforms to turn up on land, some centipede fossils date back to about 450 million years ago. They have been evolving steadily since, with some estimates showing about 8,000 species today. Not even half of these species have been taxonomically described.
WWF: careful planning went into announcement on rhino rediscovery in Indonesian Borneo
(04/08/2013) WWF-Indonesia had considered the impact of the publication of finding traces of Sumatran rhinos in Kalimantan. In the two-month period before it was published, WWF-Indonesia had coordinated with various parties, including the local government, the Forestry Ministry, rhino experts, local university and other related parties to set up strategies and to ensure commitment to full protection of the rhino.
Sumatran rhino population plunges, down to 100 animals
(04/08/2013) Less than 100 Sumatran rhinos survive in the world today, according to a bleak new population estimate by experts. The last survey in 2008 estimated that around 250 Sumatran rhinos survived, but that estimate now appears optimistic and has been slashed by 60 percent. However conservationists are responding with a major new agreement between the Indonesian and Malaysian governments at a recent summit by the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Species Survival Commission (IUCN SSC).
Tar sands oil spill: ruptured pipe pours 200,000 gallons of oil into suburban neighborhood (photos)
(04/04/2013) Last Saturday, an oil pipeline carrying tar sands oil from Canada ruptured in Mayflower, Arkansas spilling between 3,500-5,000 barrels of crude (at most 210,000 gallons) into neighborhood streets and lawns. Families from 22 homes have been evacuated while clean-up crews have scrambled to contain the spill. ExxonMobil, which runs the 65-year-old Pegasus pipeline, has stated it will pay for any damage, however critics say the oil spill is more evidence that the Obama Administration should turn down the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.
Has WWF just condemned the last rhino in Kalimantan?
(04/04/2013) WWF-Indonesia recently caught the attention of the global media with their announcement that the Sumatran rhinoceros still exists in Indonesian Borneo, some 40 years after being declared extinct there. This sounds like great news for biodiversity conservation. But is it really?
New giant tarantula that's taken media by storm likely Critically Endangered (photos)
(04/04/2013) Described by a number of media outlets as "the size of your face" a new tree-dwelling tarantula discovered in Sri Lanka has awed arachnophiliacs and terrified arachnophobes alike. But the new species, named Raja's tiger spider (Poecilotheria rajaei), is likely Critically Endangered according to the scientist that discovered it in northern Sri Lanka.
An insidious threat to tropical forests: over-hunting endangers tree species in Asia and Africa
(04/04/2013) A fruit falls to the floor in a rainforest. It waits. And waits. Inside the fruit is a seed, and like most seeds in tropical forests, this one needs an animal—a good-sized animal—to move it to a new place where it can germinate and grow. But it may be waiting in vain. Hunting and poaching has decimated many mammal and bird populations across the tropics, and according to two new studies the loss of these important seed-disperser are imperiling the very nature of rainforests.
Domesticated bees do not replace declining wild insects as agricultural pollinators
(04/03/2013) Sprinkled with pollen, buzzing bees fly from one blossom to another, collecting sweet nectar from brilliantly colored flowers. Bees tend to symbolize the pollination process, but there are many wild insects that carry out the same function. Unfortunately, wild insect populations are in decline, and, according to a recent study, adding more honey bees may not be a viable solution.
Sumatran rhino found in Kalimantan after unseen in region for 20 years
(04/02/2013) Conservationists working to save the Sumatran rhino—one of the world's most imperiled mammals—heard good news this week as WWF-Indonesia has found evidence of at least one Sumatran rhino persisting in the Indonesian state of Kalimantan, located on the island of Borneo. Small populations of Sumatran rhinos (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) survive on Sumatra and on Borneo (in the Malaysian state of Sabah), but this is the first time scientists have confirmed the presence of the notoriously shy animal in Kalimantan in over two decades.
Proposed coal plant threatens Critically Endangered Philippine cockatoo
(04/02/2013) One kilometer off the Philippine island of Palawan lies the Rasa Island Wildlife Sanctuary; here forest grows unimpeded from a coral island surrounded by mangroves and coral reefs. Although tiny, over a hundred bird species have been recorded on the island along with a major population of large flying foxes, while in the waters below swim at least 130 species of coral fish, three types of marine turtles, and that curious-looking marine mammal, dugongs. Most importantly, perhaps, the island is home to the world's largest population of Philippine cockatoos (Cacatua haematuropygia), currently listed as Critically Endangered. But, although uninhabited by people, Rasa Island may soon be altered irrevocably by human impacts.
Poachers enlisting impoverished wildlife rangers as accomplices in elephant, rhino killing
(04/01/2013) Corruption among wildlife rangers is becoming a serious impediment in the fight against poaching, fuelled by soaring levels of cash offered by criminal poacher syndicates, senior conservation chiefs have admitted. Rangers in countries as diverse as Tanzania and Cambodia are being bribed by increasingly organised poaching gangs keen to supply ivory, rhino horn and tiger parts to meet huge consumer demand in Asia.
Madagascar's chameleons came from African mainland
(03/29/2013) Madagascar's color-changing chameleons originated in Africa and crossed over to the island some 65 million years ago, concludes a study published this week in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
Is it the end for Britain's hedgehogs?
(03/28/2013) As hedgehogs all over the United Kingdom wake up from their winter hibernation, activists will be carefully counting their hogs. Every year, the hedgehog population in Britain's rural towns declines by an estimated 5 percent. But between 2011 and 2012, a survey conducted by the People's Trust for Endangered Species (PTES), a UK-based animal activism group, saw the country's European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) population fall a dismal 32 percent.
Relative of the 'penis snake' discovered in South America (photos)
(03/27/2013) A new species of caecilian - a worm-like amphibian - has been discovered in French Guiana.
Scientists discover new genus of crustacean
(03/27/2013) In recent journeys to Madagascar, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, the Philippines, and French Polynesia, scientists from the Centre for Advanced Studies of Blanes and the University of Barcelona have discovered not only five new crustaceous species, but also the existence of a new genus in the family.
Common pesticides disrupt brain functioning in bees
(03/27/2013) Exposure to commonly used pesticides directly disrupts brain functioning in bees, according to new research in Nature. While the study is the first to record that popular pesticides directly injure bee brain physiology, it adds to a slew of recent studies showing that pesticides, especially neonicotinoids, are capable of devastating bee hives and may be, at least, partly responsible for on-going Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD).
2 'giant' yet tiny mouse lemurs identified in Madagascar
(03/27/2013) Scientists have discovered two new species of mouse lemurs in Madagascar, bringing the total number of diminutive primates known to science to 20.
Researchers sequence Aye-aye genome - lemur is more genetically diverse than humans
(03/26/2013) Scientists sequenced the genome of the aye-aye, a bizarre lemur species, for the first time. The research is published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
A thousand soldiers sent after marauding elephant poachers [warning: graphic photos]
(03/26/2013) Eight Central African nations have announced they will send a thousand soldiers after poachers responsible for slaughtering 89 elephants, including over 30 pregnant mothers, in Chad earlier this month. The mobilization of soldiers and law enforcement officers could be a sign that Central African countries are beginning to take elephant poaching, which has decimated populations across Africa, more seriously.
Humans killed over 10 percent of the world's bird species when they colonized the Pacific Islands
(03/25/2013) Around 4,000 years ago intrepid Polynesian seafarers made their way into an untamed wilderness: the far-flung Pacific Islands. Over a thousands or so years, they rowed from one island to another, stepping on shores never yet seen by humans. While this vast colonization brought about a new era of human history, it also ended the existence of well-over a thousand bird species according to a new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
Forging zoos into global conservation centers, an interview with Cristian Samper, head of WCS
(03/25/2013) The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) is one of the world's leading environmental organizations. Founded in 1895 (originally as the New York Zoological Society), the WCS manages 200 million acres of wild places around the globe, with over 500 field conservation projects in 65 countries, and 200 scientists on staff. The WCS also runs five facilities in New York City: the Central Park Zoo, the New York Aquarium, Prospect Park and Queens Zoos, and the world renowned Bronx Zoo.
Scientists discover two new remarkably-colored lizards in the Peruvian Amazon (photos)
(03/21/2013) Scientists have discovered two new species of woodlizards from the Peruvian Amazon. Woodlizards, in the genus Enyalioides, are little-known reptiles with only 10 described species found in South and Central America. Described in a new paper in ZooKeys, both new woodlizards were found in Cordillera Azul National Park, the nations third-largest.
Ant communities more segregated in palm oil plantations than rainforest
(03/21/2013) Ants are an important ecological group in both degraded and natural habitats. They interact with many other species and mediate a range of ecological processes. These interactions are often interpreted in the context of ant mosaics, where dominant species form strict territories, keeping other ants out. This segregation between ant species is well-documented in monoculture plantations. Now new research published in Ecography has shown that these changes are driven by the replacement of rainforests with monocultures and not the arrival of non-native species.
Scientists discover 8 new frogs in one sanctuary, nearly all Critically Endangered (photos)
(03/21/2013) Two surveys in the mountainous forests of Sri Lanka's Peak Wilderness Sanctuary have uncovered eight new species of frogs, according to a massive new paper in the Journal of Threatened Taxa. While every year over a hundred new amphibians are discovered, eight new discoveries in a single park is especially notable. Sri Lanka is an amphibian-lovers paradise with well over 100 described species, most of which are endemic, i.e. found only on the small island country. Unfortunately the country has also seen more frog extinctions than anywhere else, and seven of the eight new species are already thought to be Critically Endangered.
Male lions require dense vegetation for successful ambush hunting
(03/20/2013) For a long time male lions were derided as the lazy ones in the pride, depending on females for the bulk of hunting and not pulling their weight. Much of this was based on field observations—female lions hunt cooperatively, often in open savannah, and therefore are easier to track at night. But new research in Animal Behaviour is showing that males are adroit hunters in their own right, except prickly males hunt alone and use dense vegetation as cover; instead of social hunting in open savannah, they depend on ambushing unsuspecting prey.
Poachers slaughter 89 elephants in Chad, including over 30 pregnant mothers [warning: graphic photos]
(03/19/2013) In what is being called the worst elephant massacre in Africa this year, poachers have recently killed as many as 89 elephants in Chad. Stephanie Vergniault, the Chairman of SOS Elephants in Chad, says the elephants were slaughtered in a two-day period late last week near Tikem, on the southwest border of Chad and Cameroon. At least 30 of the elephants were pregnant. Images from a television news report show what appear to be an elephant still connected to its umbilical cord on the ground. Separately, 12 calves were also slaughtered.
Peruvian night monkey threatened by vanishing forests, lost corridors
(03/18/2013) The Peruvian night monkey (Aotus miconax) is one of the world's least known primates, having never been studied in the wild--until now. Found only in the cloud forests of northern Peru, a group of scientists with Neotropical Primate Conservation and the National University of Mayor San Marcos have spent 12 months following a single group of this enigmatic monkey species in a small forest patch. The results of their research, published in mongabay.com's open access journal Tropical Conservation Science, shows that protecting forests, even small forest fragments, is vital to the species' survival.
Scientists successfully freeze Barbary sheep embryos for conservation purposes
(03/18/2013) The Barbary sheep (Ammotragus lervia), or aoudad, is a goat-antelope found in northern Africa. It is currently listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN Red List, with populations imperiled by hunting, habitat loss, and competition with livestock. Still little is known about its remaining population, prompting scientists in Mexico to test possible assisted reproduction of captive individuals.
Deer populations hurt by poaching in Mexican dry forest
(03/18/2013) White-tailed deer are usually thought of as inhabiting temperate forests in the U.S. and Canada, but this widespread species can also be found across tropical forests, from Mexico to Peru. A new study in mongabay.com's open access journal Tropical Conservation Science investigates the population of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in Mexico's Tehuacan-Cuicatlan Biosphere Reserve (TCBR), and finds that poaching may be having a large impact.
Forgotten lions: shedding light on the fate of lions in unprotected areas
(03/18/2013) African lions (Panthera leo) living outside of protected areas like national parks or reserves also happen to be studied much less than those residing within protected areas, to the detriment of lion conservation initiatives. In response to this trend, a group of researchers surveyed an understudied, unprotected region in northwestern Mozambique called the Tete Province, whose geography and proximity to two national parks suggests a presence of lions.
Scientists successfully reintroduce gaur in Indian park
(03/18/2013) Gaur (Bos gaurus gaurus) is one of the large wild ungulates of Asian jungles. It is the tallest living ox, and one of the four heaviest land mammals (elephant, rhino and wild buffalo are the other three), weighing up to 940 kilograms (2,070 pounds) and standing between 1.6 and 1.9 meters (5.2 to 6.2 feet) at the shoulder. Gaur were once distributed throughout the forested tracts of India and South Nepal, east to Vietnam and south to Malaya. Today, however, they are confined to just over a hundred existing, and 27 proposed, Protected Areas in India.
Heavy metal shark meat: dangerous lead levels found in sharks used as fish food
(03/18/2013) A recent study published in mongabay.com's open access journal Tropical Conservation Science raises concerns about levels of heavy metals, particularly lead (Pb), present in shark meat, as well as the decline of shark abundance due to global fishing pressures. Sharks are primarily caught as by-catch for other fishing industries. By one account, 70% of the total catch in swordfish long-line fisheries was sharks. Due to consumer demand, this by-catch is sold to Asian fish markets as fin and trunk meat. Much of the trunk and organ meat is used to make fish-meal, which is then fed to farmed fish.
Innovative idea: wildlife income may help people withstand drought in Africa
(03/18/2013) Getting local people to become invested in wildlife conservation is not always easy, especially in parts of the world where protected areas are seen as taking away natural resources from local communities. This tension lies around Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe, where a growing population of livestock herders competes with wildlife.
Facing extinction, conservationists call emergency summit to save Sumatran rhinos
(03/17/2013) With the number of Sumatran Rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) now under 200 and declining rapidly, a group of conservationists have organized an emergency summit to discuss courses of action to save the world's smallest remaining rhino from extinction.

Stayed at the Seraphine Gardens for three nights with my twelve year old daughter. I was very happy with the location! Kensington High street has lots of shopping possibilitys as well as dining. It is a very nice, affluent area and it felt very safe to walk around even at night. The hotel is close to the metro station, and it is easy to get around London with the Metro. The hotel was clean, and nice. The rooms were very small, but I knew that from reading other peoples reviews. All in all a great choice for the price, and the location is excellent!

The Seraphine Hotel has a lot going for it. It is ideally located within the city, very close to public transport and shops. The staff of the hotel is pleasantly friendly and helpful and very welcoming. Breakfast is the same standard as with other hotels in London. Within the hotels price category, I would however have expected much higher quality items than just the cheapest type of industrially fabricated jam, cheese, salami and ham. The hotel has apparently been comprehensively renovated recently. The interior designers have done a great job with branding the hotel and making it visually coherent. There are some very good ideas such as setting each of the interiors against a large printed black-and-white photograph from a place in London. Unfortunately, the designers have not been quite as interested in guests' comfort: The mentioned brandmark large image cannot be seen when in bed. It is utterly impossible to shave and to wash one's face in a handwash-only sized basin. The single bed was very narrow indeed (80 cm) and reminded me of experiences of travelling on boats or trains. It seems comical that such a tiny bed should stand freely in the guest room, when this makes an already quite small space additionally crammed - if layed-out more intelligently, there would have been space for a queen-size bed in the room without cramming it. I would definitely not return to book a single room here, but imagine a double might be fine.

I have been travelling to London for the last 5 years at least 2 weeks per time. This is the best hotel within acceptable budget I have ever stayed at. The reception personnel were friendly and helpful. The hotel is new and all appliences work perfectly. As all London Hotels, the rooms are tiny but as a business traveller, all in neeeded was clean facilities, comfortable bed, good TV and good internet conexion.

Adventure Xpress
• A new twist on Match-3 gameplay - Equip weapons, armor, and spells to personalize your strategy against foes. Match three or more runes to attack.
• A huge journey - As part of the Adventure Xpress you'll travel to over 275 battle locations across a sprawling world map.
• Heartwarming stories - If you're risking your life as a courier man or woman to deliver these letters you should at least get to read them, right?
Now, if that isn't enough to sell you - here are some more details:
THE BASICS (in case you're unfamiliar)
- Match runes to attack - three or more horizontally or vertically will charge up your weapon's attack and strike when your turn is over.
- Match four or more to make special runes that when matched will clear even MORE.
- Chain reactions and combos will hit for more damage.
THE TWISTS (bet you didn't think of these!)
At each location you'll encounter multiple enemies. You keep the same rune board and spell power throughout, so as you match you can strategize your plan against later enemies or final boss characters of each location. Vanquish them all and receive the spoils of coins, potions or stamps to upgrade your weapons, armor, and spells.
- Each weapon's stats impact how much it will hit and the number of runes you need to match to activate a Critical in your next turn.
- Some weapons will even regenerate health for matching certain rune types!
- The rune's elemental type determines its strength against the enemy.
- Unlike other Match-3 games, each move doesn't have to be a match so you can strategize combos (though each time you make a move with no match, your enemy gets a free attack on you).
- Request boosts from friends or spend premium currency to tip the scales further in your favor.
THE FEATURE LIST (download it already!)
• Over 275 battle locations over a huge game map
• Battle over 30 types of enemies
• Play as a male or female courier
• Equip 20 types of weapons and 10 types of armor, both with multiple quality and element enchantments
• 5 elemental spells to learn, upgrade and unleash on your foes
• Connect with friends to boost your stats and smite enemies
• Game Services Achievements
• How have you still not put this on your device?

Fuchsia, after Leonhart Fuchs (German botanist).
Welcome aboard, Lisa and Nigel, and do feel confident to ask what you may think are silly questions that everyone except you knows the answer to. One valuable technique in meetings is to 'ask the dumb question', thus prompting the resident expert to recap the important points of a subject - much to the relief of everyone else at the meeting who have forgotten the details or who didn't understand it first time round.
Enjoy the board!
Well, I think you've got the answer there, Rose, which is that it's all about good parenting and education. I spent all my childhood grubbing about among berries, fungi and so on, as did many of my friends, without any ill-effects. The answer is to get closer to the plants rather than further away from them. I'm more concerned about what many people deliberately give their children to eat!
If we took out all the toxic plants, we'd have some very big gaps in gardens! The usual problem is trying to get kids to eat peas or any other greens. I think fear of poisoning is greatly overstated.
Miss Jones,
There was a question on GQT yesterday about Robinias dying, and it is quite a widespread problem. I've had three in my gardens last year.
I'm amazed at your problem with this so-called tree surgeon. I can only assume that he or she is an uninsured chancer masquerading as a professional.
Has anyone bought new ones this year and what do you think of them? The models change so quickly that I'm not interested in reviews of any that are not currently available. Thanks.
There are solitary bees that nest in colonies.
I think it's the Fieldfares who make the clacking noise.
When you say they were 'meant to' do this and that, was that what you agreed with them? In other words, have they charged you for three times as much work as they've actually done?
Better table manners than the Goldfinches then, Bjay.

Not included in your 14 rating points is government red tape.
I recently looked into what it takes to operate a small home business.
I have to get a tax ID number from the IRS.
I have to register with the department of commerce (FEE)
I have to get a sales tax license (FEE)
I have to apply for a conditional use permit (FEE)
I have to get approval from my neighbors.
I have to get a business license from the city (FEE).
Only after jumping through all these hoops and paying hundreds of dollars in fees can I "TRY" to start a business and hopefully turn a profit.
Then, of course, there those reports, forms recurring fees and taxes when I do earn some money.
It makes one wonder why anyone would even try!

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Vampire dog diaries: 'Click! Clack! Click!'
Driven to drugs by Cooper's nocturnal habits
You should take a good look at my face.
I don't mean the face attached to this column; that's a perfectly acceptable newspaper person's face.
I mean the face I'm wearing right now as I sit here at my computer struggling to formulate a coherent thought.
This is not a good face. It is a pasty face. My eyeballs are red and my eyelids are drooping so much I need to prop them open with toothpicks. My cheeks are puffed out like a mutant squirrel on steroids and the bags under my eyes are big enough to hold all your belongings on a European vacation.
You'd think I'm suffering from the Killer Cold from Hell, but I'm not. The problem is I haven't slept in weeks because I am the owner of a 13-year-old basset hound named Cooper who believes that, like a (bad word) vampire, he needs to spend the entire night wandering around in search of his next meal.
It wasn't always this way. What with being a hound with a brain the size of a Cracker Jack prize and a stunning physical resemblance to a sandbag, Cooper was always an outstanding sleeper. When it came to lying on the couch, snoring and emitting potentially toxic aromas, he was best in show.
But that was back in the good old days. Now that he's a senior citizen -- approximately 6,000 in human years -- he doesn't sleep at all. Hold on, I take that back. What I mean is he doesn't sleep at night. During the day, when my wife and I are trying to stay alert and interact with other humans, Cooper is happily sacked out, a biscuit-eating, drooling vampire in his comfy coffin, storing up energy for a busy night to come.
Once my wife and I call it a night, Cooper rises from his tomb and, like a four-legged Flying Dutchman, his nails click-clacking on the hardwood floors, sails around the house, a floppy-eared ghost ship doomed to never make port.
First, he click-clacks into our bedroom, butting the door open with his head, then circles our bed relentlessly while my wife and I pretend to be asleep, praying the other person will drag themselves from under the covers and let him outside to pee, give him the first of countless "breakfasts" throughout the night, then try to herd him back to one of his cosy dog beds.
Then, maybe 30 minutes later, just as we are poised to nod off again, it starts all over. "Click! Clack! Click! Clack!" is the sound we hear over and over as our restless hound resumes his noisy nocturnal ramblings, in and out of the bedroom, weighing anchor just long enough to send me the following telepathic message: "Hey, you hungry? Because I could really go for some pancakes right about now!"
It's a vicious circle. And I do mean vicious, in the sense that when my wife has been deprived of sleep long enough, there is an excellent chance that, after hurling profanity, she will attempt to bean you on the head with a paperback novel flung in the dark with a velocity and accuracy that would turn any major league pitcher green with envy.
If you are considering offering some helpful tips in dog sleep management, don't bother. We have tried almost everything, including late-night walks, hypnotism, bedtime stories and warm milk, to get Cooper to (bad word) sleep.
On the night Barack Obama was re-elected president, armed with frayed nerves and a prescription from our family veterinarian, we began giving this 48-pound, red-eyed, wrinkled insomniac a nightly dose of a famous tranquilizer (for the record, it rhymes with "balium") normally ingested by anxiety-ridden Hollywood starlets.
We had high hopes. During Obama's deeply moving victory speech, Cooper snored happily on the couch at the decibel level of a nuclear blast. It was with a feeling of contentment that I slipped into bed that night, eager to sleep the sleep of the dead.
As you have already deduced, moments later, our eyes popped open as we heard the sound we have come to dread. Only this time it was slightly different. It sounded like this: "Click! Clack! THUMP! Click! Clack! THUMP!"
Groggy from his prescription medication but still refusing to snooze, the Dog That Wouldn't Sleep was on the prowl again, the only difference being that now, as he navigated the hardwood floors en route to our bedroom, he bumped into walls and doors and random pieces of furniture.
It's like this every night at our place. Cooper doesn't mind and I'm putting on a brave, if exhausted, face, but my wife is reaching the breaking point.
She's talking about turning to tranquillizers. My best friend can probably help her out with that but personally, I think she should sleep on it.

Vikes owners hint at retractable roof for stadium
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — The Metrodome always felt like a rental property for Zygi and Mark Wilf, two New Jersey real estate developers who purchased the Minnesota Vikings in 2005 with the hopes of moving out of the place as quickly as possible.
Now the Wilf brothers will have a home of their own, hopefully by the 2016 season.

Escaping Reality
To lie naked on the fiery hot beach Waves crashing and cooling thy soul Washing away pain and misery A blinding sun warming every inch of body and soul
Angel Eyes
Beautiful blue gems, they are Your eyes, send forceful shutters through my spine Stare into them forever, I would Your eyes, see inside my stone protected heart
A Simple Daydream
Pure imagination indeed Reality wanted and needed at the same time A physical love An emotional love
Like A Good Neighbor, State Farm Is Ther...
I must have you, pay for you – or else Expensive you are too, but I need you Send me letters in the mail that make no sense You bill me every six months
Kill You I Would
Kill you I would With passion, hate, and power Stare into your soul and give you back your poison Tease you with my gun, my power, like you used your power over me
Idea Of You
To close my eyes and see your smile Hear your footsteps walking to me The burning sweaty palms of your hands on me Your identifying smell lingering about
I Don't Care
Hate me or love me You choose I don't care
Perverted Justice
Sweet and sour they churn Evil butters of all flavors Spreading their disgusting filthy selves on our children
Please Be Patient
Please be patient My worries take over And I get scared sometimes
See Me
I'm screaming to you at the top of my lungs, only silence is heard And I'm begging you to see it in my eyes, to read my soul And tell me everything will be alright
Could It Be Real
Could it be real? Real in a fantasy world created with hopeful intentions of capturing reality What makes reality real? Real world's life lessons learned and failed?
It keeps you alive, yet scared and tortured at the same time Suffocates like a snake, quickly latching, as everything becomes darker Haunts you when your eyes close Nightmares, endless tears, pictures burnt in memory
Flesh Holes
You there Look away from me For I am too young I am a person too you know
Floating High
Floating high in the sky, touching clouds and poking planes Smiling as I fly, thinking of the day you were found Discovered unexpectedly, my soul leaping with joy Looking down on the trees, on the deep shades of green

Escaping Reality
To lie naked on the fiery hot beach
Waves crashing and cooling thy soul
Washing away pain and misery
A blinding sun warming every inch of body and soul
To fall asleep loudly drowning in music
Songs so loud thy soul cannot think, cannot feel
Floating away in their words, their lyrics, ideas
Eyes closed, singing, emotions floating
Walking hand in hand with you by my side
Staring in your eyes
Crawling into your soul, your heart
I rest inside of you, escaping
