Posts disappearing
Hi all,
Has anyone noticed posts disappearing from their threads? I have found a couple of times now that a whole days worth of posts have gone when I read my oven building thread.
Re: Posts disappearing
All good, I found where they moved to!
Re: Posts disappearing
maybe we can request the mopderator/s to leave a trail when posts get moved. Sometimes posts start out in the introductions but rapidly evolve into another entity susch as Just getting started or Pompeii Construction. When that happends it is weither up to the author to let everyone know they are moving the conversation to the proper folder or as it sounds in this case someone moved it for you.
Re: Posts disappearing
Yes, I can do that. There is an option to leave a "it was moved here" notice, and I will start doing that. Good idea.
Re: Posts disappearing
The website that I used to mod at would also include a post in the thread to tell people why things had been moved. It made things less confusing for the people who's posts been moved. That way they didn't think it was a disciplinary action when in fact it just needed to go to a more appropriate forum. Just thought I'd throw in the idea.
Re: Posts disappearing
whilst we are on this line of thinking, I feel that it seems appropriate that we have some new topic headings/titles for posts that don't really fit the description with any that are currently available.
I have put up a few new threads and searched for a suitable place to start the thread but had to settle for maybe? one that it 'might fit'.
An example is the oven door, quite specific and an extra to the construction, tools tips and tricks, etc.
Also books or references recommended to fellow members, unless they contribute to 'new posts' would have to trip over them or luck onto a search to find something suitable which might otherwise be missed.
May I suggest two extra titles:
Books and References for the WFO and grills - construction, baking and cooking.
Oven extras to improve their performance, doors, blowers, illumination, rotisories, (oven) grilles.
Re: Posts disappearing
That's a good point. I was thinking the just other day it would be nice to have a section on oven doors. There are so many different doors out there, but can be hard to find them even if you know where to look.
Re: Posts disappearing
James, there's probably an option for sub forums. You might consider those rather than having so many new forums. You could have "oven doors" under "building and construction" for example.
We can probably think of a couple dozen more suggestions if you don't have enough to keep you busy...
Re: Posts disappearing
Hi all, I just lost another new thread - about spelt sourdough, in the hearth breads forum. Was this moved somewhere or is there a forum bug maybe?

Winter wheat estimates up slightly in DakotasSIOUX FALLS, S.D. — Winter wheat estimates are up slightly in the Dakotas over the month.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — Winter wheat estimates are up slightly in the Dakotas over the month.
The Agriculture Department on Thursday pegged South Dakota's winter wheat crop at 59 million bushels, up 2 percent from last month, and increased the North Dakota forecast 4 percent to 17.3 million bushels.
South Dakota's forecast is down 8 percent from last year's production, and North Dakota's forecast is down 34 percent. Winter wheat is a minor crop in North Dakota, which sometimes results in wide percentage swings in production.
The average yield in South Dakota is expected to be up 8 bushels from last year to 50 bushels per acre. North Dakota's average yield is projected at a record 54 bushels per acre.

Oil Makes a Come Back
After a long decline, oil is gushing higher.
The decline began last summer when oil was trading above $145 a barrel. As the U.S. economic slowdown spread globally, demand for oil dried up driving the price to just a fraction of the former highs by mid-February.
Since then, oil has begun to bounce back as OPEC cut back production and massive economic stimulus actions in the U.S., China and U.K.Continue Reading »

I had never used this perfume before, I read the reviews and a lot of people seemed to really like it so I ordered the little vial to try it and see if I like it. It smells wonderful, the first time I wore it my sons both asked what perfume I was wearing and told me that I smelled good. My doctor even asked me what perfume I was wearing so he could get some for his wife. I will definitely be getting a regular sized bottle.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Maisie McCabe, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 07 February 2013 08:00AM
Several sources with knowledge of the process said GSK had started the talks ahead of a formal review process and was hoping to appoint a single media agency network. It is unclear whether the review will be confined to or extended beyond roster networks.
WPP's MediaCom handles GSK's £60 million UK media account, while Omnicom's PHD picked up the $1.4 billion (£890 million) US business in late 2010.
MediaCom lost the US account and some European markets, to Starcom Media-Vest Group, as part of two separate reviews in 2010.
WPP will hope to strengthen its relationship with GSK as its part-owned agency CHI & Partners has just won the Maxinutrition ad business. Grey picked up a global brief to create a corporate "masterbrand" campaign in December last year.
The global media review comes as GSK confirmed plans to restructure its European pharmaceuticals operation to cut costs and announced a "strategic review" of Lucozade and Ribena, after it reported a 1 per cent revenue decline in 2012.
GSK hired Sameer Singh, the former Procter & Gamble vice-president of media in Asia and China, to the new position of vice-president and head of global media in September 2012.
Singh was given a brief to spearhead a new approach to media planning, buying and strategy but, at the time, a spokesman said it would have no "immediate" implications for its media agency roster.
A GSK spokeswoman told Campaign this week: "GSK is creating the world's best fast-moving consumer healthcare company. Our approach to media planning, buying and strategy will support this."

Jeremy Renner has a baby on the way with his ex-girlfriend
Jeremy Renner is soon going to be a dad. The "Avengers" star is reportedly expecting his first child with an ex, a woman he used to date but allegedly wasn't very serious about.
Well, they're apparently serious enough to go through with having the baby. Us Weekly overheard Renner tell Eva Longoria on the Golden Globes patio that he's going to "fly in when her water breaks." Longoria's response? "I'm so blown away."
And rightfully so. Renner is notoriously private about his personal life, to the point that he told The Hollywood Reporter, "I want my personal life to be personal."
"I don't care if you're talking about things that are true, you're still talking about my personal life," he said. "How about I go peek in your window, take what underwear you wore last night, whose husband you were f-ing, and shove that in the megaphone throughout your neighborhood? How does that feel?"
He likely isn't too pleased about the fact that this news leaked, especially since a source confirmed to Us that Renner and his ex "used to date but it wasn't serious." The woman is allegedly living with Renner in Los Angeles and is "going on about her life and not hiding" her pregnancy. Unsurprisingly, Renner is allegedly "being ultra-secretive" about the baby on the way, but apparently not secretive enough.

1. Wayne Rooney
The great thing about Wayne Rooney, is that even if he's having an off-day, you know he will put in a shift for his team.
And his off-days are on a rare occasion. The England superstar is wonderful infront of goal, and can pick a 30 or even 40-yard pass with ease.
He tackles, tracks-back and leads by example. A valuable player and crucial for Manchester United once again this season.

Not quite what I was looking for
Jim from LA – Verified Buyer
Years ago I had a stationary, bent wood kneeling chair, and it was SOOOO comfortable. I was searching for another, but apparently they aren't made anymore. After reviewing quite a few options, I decided on this one. It IS comfortable for a little while, but after an hour or so my shins ache. I've tried adjusting the angle to change the pressure, but I just can't sit in it for long periods. On a positive note, it does give relief to my lower back.
Provides short relief
Maribel from Harlingen, TX – Verified Buyer
This chair is great to be used used for short periods of time. It definitely is not great for a days worth of work but it provides the perfect 1-2 hour relief from your office chair. The cushion begins to flatten after about an hour of using and then you can feel the hard metal plate on your knees. Be careful when getting in and out of it because you an twist your knee easily.
Renee from Irvine, CA – Verified Buyer
Easy to install, works fine. I've tried other kneeling chairs that were a little more comfortable (more cushiony). My husband said it's comfortable only for a short period of time, then has to move to a standard chair.
Kneeling Office Chair
Lauren from Toronto, ON – Verified Buyer
Great to kneel on but only for 20 minutes or so. If you have a hip condition, it's not the best to sit on.
kneeling chair
rachael from roseville, MI – Verified Buyer
Is a good chair. Takes some getting used to. Only thing, i wish the kneeling pad was a bit thicker (I'm not a heavy person, but would still like a little more padding ).
Great for the price
Leslie from Round Rock, TX – Verified Buyer
This is a great standard style kneeling chair with adjustable seat. It's a good size and solid and the fabric is nice.
Great Concept - Terrible Cushioning
Marjo Whalen from Edmonton, AB – Verified Buyer
I really like the concept of this chair. It relives a lot of pressure from my lower back and I am far more comfortable on it than sitting in a traditional chair for 8 hours a day. I have no issues with the frame construction or the hydraulic adjust. I am however disappointed with the quality of the cushioning used. Within a week of purchase the padding on the knee rest was worn down so much that my knees and shins were resting on the hard frame inside the rest (not pleasant). Considering that is where the majority of the weight is being rested, I would have expected the used of a higher quality foam. I would recommend spending extra money on a kneeling chair with a higher quality/density cushioning.
Love this style computerdesk chair
Paula from San Francisco, CA
This is a good seat for people with back issues. Just make sure you get up and walk around every so often (whatever works for you), since what works for your back may not be so great for your knees.
love this chair!
melissa from Spartanburg, SC – Verified Buyer
I generally need very supportive seating due to long standing issues with my back. This chair is sturdy & comfortable, well worth paying for & should last a long time.
Drafting Char
Katherine from Windsor, CO – Verified Buyer
Comfortable and sturdy. Just what I was looking for sitting at my computer all dayr. Limited assembly.

Talks on world's fastest nuclear reactor at Sellafield
Last updated at 11:42, Tuesday, 03 April 2012
Talks will take place tomorrow which could see the world's fastest nuclear reactor built at Sellafield.
GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy, the company behind the PRISM reactor, claim it would not only dispose of plutonium stocks at Sellafield but deliver low carbon electricity.
If the talks are successful the firm has predicted a multi-billion investment creating around 900 permanent jobs and a further 1,000 jobs indirectly.
The plant would dispose of 87 metric tonnes of plutonium stored in west Cumbria while generating 600 MW of electricity.
Danny Roderick, senior vice president of new plant projects at GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy, said: "This multi-billion pound investment would stand to create a range of opportunities.
"It would also reaffirm Cumbria's position of nuclear excellence with Britain's Energy Coast.
"We are convinced the PRISM technology provides an innovative solution to the objectives set by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority – the quickest disposal of plutonium at the best value – while providing substantial environmental and economic benefits."
The Department of Energy and Climate Change has said the technology is unproven but GEH say it has been demonstrated in a fast reactor in the United States.
A company spokesman said: "We are currently working closely with the UK government including the NDA to detail why it believes PRISM technology is the best choice for the UK taxpayer."
GEH will sign a memorandum of understanding with the National Nuclear Laboratory Ltd to provide expert technical input to the potential UK deployment of GEH's innovative PRISM reactor.
Mr Roderick said: "We are excited for the potential opportunity to utilise the expertise of NNL and help the UK continue to take a leadership role in the reuse of plutonium."
"We believe that PRISM is the best way to manage the UK's plutonium stockpile efficiently, securely, and safely while generating low-carbon electricity at the same time."
The talks are due to take place at Energus, in Lillyhall tomorrow.

South Korean piracy triggers an "if you can't beat 'em join 'em" experiment. Shutterstock / Keellli
The UpTake: Innovative content creators may want to think twice before they restrict access to their content to generate revenue. Disney and Sony are going the other way, providing a legal alternative to early releases of stolen content.
From Treasure Island to the Pirates of the Caribbean, Disney has been scripting the actions of pirates for decades. But now the roles are reversed.
Disney has been trying for years to get U.S. theaters to relax demands for 90-day exclusive access to films so the entertainment company could release on-demand content sooner, and provide a legal alternative to pirated material.
It turns out, according to a report published today by the Wall Street Journal, that earlier this year Disney and Sony began testing such early on-demand releases in South Korea.
Providing legal alternatives to pirated content could be a more effective way to fight piracy than hunting the pirates themselves, depending on the yet-to-be published results of the experiment.
The Journal reported that "the four other major Hollywood studios" are keeping a close eye on the results. Though Warner Brothers, Universal Pictures, and 20th Century Fox, are the only other studious mentioned by name.
Michael del Castillo is the technology and innovation reporter at Upstart Business Journal, a member of American City Business Journals.

What did you think of this review?
Use Trust Points to see how much you can rely on this review.
Flowers for Algernon is a science fiction short story and subsequent novel written by Daniel Keyes. The short story, written in 1958 and first published in the April 1959 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, won the Hugo Award for Best Short Story in 1960. The novel was published in 1966 and was joint winner of that year's Nebula Award for Best Novel (with Babel-17).
The titular Algernon is a laboratory mouse who has undergone surgery to increase his intelligence by artificial means. The story is told as a series of progress reports written by Charlie, the first human test subject for the surgery, and touches upon many different ethical and moral themes such as the treatment of the mentally disabled.
Although the book has often been challenged for removal from libraries in the US and Canada, sometimes successfully, it is regularly taught in schools around the world and has been adapted numerous times for television, theatre, radio and as the Academy Award-winning film, Charly.

Hand harvested grapes undergo temperature-controlled fermentation and maceration for 16-18 days. The resulting wine matures for 12 months in French and American barriques, 30% of which are new.
Ruby red in color, and aromatic, with scents of ripe cherries, raspberries and vanilla. Full-bodied, soft and well structured, with flavors of wild berries, spice and herbs.
"This edgy, almost sanguine blend is grown in a rocky mix of limestone and sandstone soils on the coast near Grosseto. While the wine's naturally brisk acidity shows the cooling influence of the coastal air, what's most striking is the savory, elegant feel of the tannins. At once powerfully mineral and smooth, they frame deep flavors of dried porcini, ripe cherry and fresh sage in a way that feels vibrant and firm. The complexity is here to age this for a decade, although it would be irresistible now with roast leg of lamb."Wine & SpiritsBest Buy 94/100
The Belguardo estate is located on the hills between Grosseto and Montiano, about six miles inland from Italy's west coast. It comprises a total of 70 hectares (173 acres), including 32 hectares (79 acres) of specialized vineyards, making it one of the most important estates in Maremma.
Belguardo's logo is fashioned after a geometrical symbol sketched by Leonardo da Vinci, which represents a union between precision and perspective. It is emblematic of the Mazzeis' commitment to combining Maremma's exceptional growing conditions with the family's centuries of winemaking expertise to yield concentrated, complex wines that are extraordinarily elegant and aromatic.

ST. LOUIS Pete Carroll, the moneybag in his hand, addressed the striped mammoth in the room first. "No, no," the Seattle Seahawks coach said Wednesday, when asked if he would give back a controversial victory over the Green Bay Packers in Week 3. "We're fortunate we got a win under extreme circumstances, and we feel very fortunate that we got that done." But the mushroom cloud that rose after a red-faced officiating blunder what's the hardest part about moving past that? "That you drag it," Carroll continued, speaking to St. Louis media via teleconference. "You drag the conversation and you drag your focus into the next week. We've had a big approach to all of that that we've worked on so that you don't just try to pull it out when the time comes." There's always a sunrise after the circus. On Monday, Carroll fist-pumped into the night after claiming a 14-12 "victory." Meanwhile, Packers guard T.J. Lang and others with working eyes pumped Twitter with vitriol. The Seahawk...

Foster Farms recalls grilled chicken breast strips in Arizona, 6 other states
SAN FRANCISCO -- Federal agriculture officials said chicken producer Foster Farms is recalling about 6,165 pounds of its ready-to-eat grilled chicken breast strips because the strips contain wheat and soy -- known allergens -- which are not listed on the labels of its packages.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced the recall Tuesday, which affected seven states, including Arizona. The mislabeled packages were discovered when a customer complained. Food safety inspectors and officials at Foster Farms said the problem occurred when labels for another chicken product that does not contain wheat or soy were inadvertently used.
The recalled item, Foster Farms Grilled Chicken Breast Strips Boneless & Skinless With Rib Meat 97% Fat Free, has a case code 000606.
Officials said there have been no reports of adverse reactions from the sale of the mislabeled products.
Besides Arizona, the chicken breast strips being recalled were produced on April 23 and were also distributed to retail establishments in California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington.

Thursday, July 1, 2010
© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
COVINGTON -- Candidates for Georgia House of Representatives District 95 squared off at a forum hosted by the Newton County Voters League on Tuesday evening at the historic courthouse.
Democrats Andre Cooper and Pam Dickerson participated, along with Republican Rodney Upton. Incumbent Toney Collins was absent. The district includes portions of Newton, Rockdale and Gwinnett counties.
The following is a summary of questions and responses.
Q: What will you do to improve education?
Cooper said he would work to reverse cuts to education funding.
Dickerson said she supports smaller classroom sizes and finding nontraditional ways of educating students, such as career academies catering to students who are not college-bound. She also said she does not want additional furloughs for teachers.
Upton said teachers should be paid based on their abilities and level of education, and he supports parents' right to choose where to educate their children. All three candidates said they do not support school vouchers.
Q: Should the state push the federal government to re-evaluate its immigration policy?
Cooper said he would support giving illegal immigrants the opportunity to become legal.
Dickerson said the state should push the federal government to give the state more control on immigration matters because the burden falls on states tax-wise. She said businesses employing illegal immigrants should be required to pay for their living costs, including funding their children's education.
Upton said he supports the state's right to take control of the immigration problem in Georgia and supports all efforts to oust illegals who "put a huge strain on infrastructure" and don't contribute to the tax base.
Q: How will you make sure the district is represented fairly in the Department of Transportation budget?
Cooper said he would work with local government officials to get input on needed road projects and that he supports House Bill 277, which created a statewide comprehensive transportation plan. He said he would also work to get more traffic signals in the district and supports a light rail system.
Dickerson said she would work with local and state officials to secure funding for the district, noting that "I can't do it alone." She said she would try to make sure the district gets its fair share of revenues from the recent TSPLOST bill that was passed.
Upton said he supports division of the state into regions, with each region receiving equal shares of the DOT pot and determining its own transportation needs.
Q: How will you ensure you get input from the people and how will you be accountable?
Cooper said he would host town hall meetings and be accessible via e-mail and will continue attending party and local government meetings.
Dickerson said she would host town hall meetings in all counties in the district and provide information on issues to constituents before they are passed in the General Assembly. She also said she would be available by phone, e-mail and a Web site.
Upton said he will be accessible via Facebook, Twitter, e-mail, a Web site, phone and a physical address. He said he will also strive to make person-to-person contact within the district.
Q: What is your vision for the district?
Cooper said education is his top priority. Specifically, he wants smaller class sizes and no more furloughs for teachers.
Dickerson also named education as her top priority and said other areas of the budget need to be cut. She also said she supports smaller classroom sizes and no furloughs for teachers.
Upton named the creation of jobs as his priority and he wants to get incentives for businesses to locate in the state and "get government out of our way" so small business can grow. He said without jobs, education, the environment and infrastructure suffer.

Saint Joseph Hospital
2900 North Lake Shore Drive
Chicago, IL 60657
Saint Joseph Hospital offers a full spectrum of medical, pharmacological and support therapies for diagnosing, treating and relieving a range of neurological problems such as stroke, epilepsy and Parkinson's disease. These range from prescription medicines and biofeedback to physical therapy. Our team of neurologists and neurosurgeons work with each patient to determine the best treatment plan.
Surgical Services
- Endoscopic Techniques - Used to treat tumors, trigeminal neuralgia and many other problems. These procedures typically involve operating through a small incision using a thin catheter.
- Radiosurgery - Uses focused radiation to treat brain and spinal tumors, aneurysms and blood vessel abnormalities. While called surgery, radiosurgery does not involve any incisions.
- Vagal Nerve Stimulation and Deep Brain Stimulation - Involves the implantation of electrical stimulators to help control Parkinson's disease, epilepsy and other disorders.
- Stereotactic Radiosurgery - Uses sophisticated 3-D computer imaging for treating brain tumors.
- Anterior Cervical Discectomy with Fusion (ACDF) - Performed on the upper spine to relieve pressure on one or more nerve roots or on the spinal cord.
- Micro Discectomy - Is a newer form of back surgery using smaller incisions. This surgery is usually performed on patients with intractable disk disease of the lower spine, typically the lumbar spine.
- Lumbar Fusions - Uses a bone and plating system designed to stop the motion at a painful vertebral segment, which decreases pain generated from the joint. The surgery involves adding bone graft to an area of the spine for regrowth between the two vertebral elements to form one long bone. While used mostly for degenerative disc disease, lumbar fusion surgery may also be used to treat other conditions such as a weak or unstable spine, fractures, scoliosis or deformity.
Medical Neurology Services
Saint Joseph Hospital offers a wide range of neurological testing. After analyzing results, board-certified neurologists will discuss a recommended course of treatment with a patient's referring physician. To make an outpatient appointment, call 773-665-3060.
- Digital Electroencephalograms (EEG) - This painless procedure is a test that measures brainwave activity and is used to check for seizures or other brain problems. Small metal discs (electrodes) are attached to the scalp with paste. Brainwaves are recorded on a computer and are then analyzed by neurologists. Learn more about Digital Electroencephalograms (EEG).
- Electromyography and Nerve Conduction Velocity (EMG/NCV) Studies - These tests measure muscle and nerve function. In most cases, both an EMG and NCV will be performed. During an NCV study, mild electric currents are applied to the skin to see how quickly the impulses travel between nerves. During an EMG, a fine needle is placed under the skin into the muscle to test the electrical activity of the muscle.
- Evoked Potential Testing - The three types of evoked potential tests are visual, brainstem auditory and somatosensory. The tests check signals that the brain and spinal cord receive from other parts of the body. Sounds, visual patterns and mild electric currents are applied to the patient by a trained clinician and are used to measure nervous system activity.

This is a list of creatures in the fictional Star Wars universe. In order to be listed here, creatures must be noted in multiple canonical sources.
Asyyriaks primarily prey upon avians and other small animals. A few small wookiee children are lost each year because of the Asyyriak. Asyyriaks hibernate during cold seasons, choosing hollow tree trunks for dens.
At one point baleen whaletortoise were hunted nearly to extinction as a single specimen was able to feed two dozen humans, forty jawas or seven and a half eopies for over a week, but a law has been put into effect limiting the number of whaletortoise that can be hunted. Other common usages for a hunted whaletortoise are using the skin to create clothing, the baleen to make a very firm but soft bedding, and the breathing tube can be fashioned into a flute-like instrument known as a tochrarm. The tochrarm is the favorite instrument of Jur-Tin, a common performer at the cantina.
Baleen whaletortoise are not male nor female. All animals are able to produce offspring through self-fertilization. The calves are born after 12 months and are large enough to defend themselves from womprat attacks. calves will typically stay with the parent for only two weeks, after which they will move off on their own into the wild. It is believed that they can consume large amounts of barontagash in a single gulp. They are very knowledgeable of the force.
The colo claw fish's lethargic digestive process means it hunts less than the other underwater predators of Naboo's depths, but is no less dangerous. If threatened, the colo will lash out with amazing speed. The beast can release a bizarre hydrosonic shriek that stuns its prey. Its bite delivers a powerful poison to further immobilize its victim. They also have immense jaws hinged to allow the swallowing of large prey whole. Its temporomandibular claws help push prey down its throat, and its stomach expands to hold large amounts of food. After gorging itself, the colo retreats to its cave dwelling to hibernate and digest. Representations of the aquatic monster have been part of the Naboo folk culture for ages, often used to symbolize distrust and fear. This fish is also in a downloadable location (ancient research faculty) for Star Wars Battlefront 2.
In the novel Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter, the Jedi Padawan Darsha Assant, the information broker Lorn Pavan, and Pavan's protocol droid, I5-YQ, were being tracked by Darth Maul and were captured by a group of Cthons, though they escaped when I5-YQ was re-activated and 'screamed.' The sound, horribly painful to humans, caused absolute agony to the Cthons due to their overlarge ears. While Maul was tracking them, he too was attacked by the Cthons; however, he killed eight or nine, sending the rest running for their lives.
Eopies are 1.75 meter tall herbivores native to the planet Tatooine, appearing in all three prequel movies, Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds and Star Wars Galaxies. The quadruped mammals are distinguished by their pale skin and long flexible snouts (it looks rather like a Macrauchenia). An eopies's pale, white skin helps keep the creature cool by reflecting the intense sunlight of the planet's twin stars. A special hinged skull allows for a very flexible, elongated snout and a broader range for sharp incisors. Eopies get most of their moisture from desert lichens and tubers.
Eopies reach maturity around six standard years of age and their average lifespan is 90 standard years, however like most creatures, the animal weakens with age. Young eopies are much more vulnerable to the harsh desert conditions of the twin-sunned world. A young eopie needs to consume more food than a mature one and is also unable to carry as heavy a load. Newborn eopies are slow and awkward and are preyed upon by some of the more dangerous creatures of Tatooine. Older eopies are kept by the planet's moisture farmers to eat desert weeds that absorbs the planet's already valuable moisture. They are also used as transports across the vast desert plains of the arid planet. They also have imperturbable dispositions, reacting to surprises with mild interest instead of panic.
Eopies are renowned for their endurance and ability to carry a lot of cargo. They also have a reputation of being stubborn or grumpy creatures. This however, could be attributed to their owners, who often push these animals to the limit, packing them with extremely heavy loads.
The Ewok is a small, sentient furry creature who lives in trees on the forest moon of Endor. They live in villages hung hundreds of feet off the forest floor, and are very primitive. Despite their extremely short and unimposing stature and obnoxiously unadvanced weapons, they were instrumental in destroying the second death star's planetary shield generator.
The Falumpaset is a large mammal native to Naboo, appearing in The Phantom Menace, The Gungan Frontier, Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, and Star Wars Galaxies: The Ruins of Dantooine. They roamed the plains and swamps of the planet in large herds, and their distinctive call could be heard for kilometers around. Easily domesticated, falumpasets were popular mounts all over the galaxy. They were, however, known for their stubborn and uncooperative temperament.
The Gungans used them to pull their Battle Wagons at the Battle of Naboo. In the following victory parade, Boss Nass rode a falumpaset through the streets of Theed. For in-universe details, see the StarWars.com databank entry
Fambaas are the largest terrestrial herbivores of the Naboo swamp, appearing in The Phantom Menace, The Gungan Frontier, Star Wars Galaxies, Star Wars Battlefront, and Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds. Fambaas are technically amphibians but have the scaly hide of reptiles. These creatures can easily knock over trees to get at leaves and berries. They also forage for underwater plants.
Fambaas in the wild travel in herds of up to 102. They are born with moist skin and gills and upon maturity their tails grow, the gills disappear and their skin hardens. The Fambaa has been domesticated by Gungan for millennia as beasts of burden and cavalry/artillery draft breasts. In wars and battles such as the Battle of Naboo, Fambaas were seen as mech units, being used to carry portable shield generators for protecting their armies. The main breeding herds are so large they are traditionally swamp pastured in sacred areas. There are also special Fambaa stables inside underwater bubble cities. Occasionally these animals suffer predation by the Sando,they are in fact the only natural predator of the adult faamba. Females lay large numbers of sticky, gelatinous eggs, which they deposit in puddles and underwater. The young hatch with moist skin and gills then, upon maturity, the gills disappear and their skin hardens. For more information, see the Fambaa entry on StarWars.com
The native Nelvaanians of Rokrul village have discovered that a horax is repelled by the scent given off by a special elixir made from the tail scales of the creature. One scale can produce enough of the pungent mixture to paint a perimeter around their village that lasts an entire Nelvaanian year. This protective ring has become an important element in the tribal culture of the Nelvaanians. Each year, young Nelvaanian males are sent to find a sleeping horax and return with a tail scale. Doing such is a rite of passage, granting that Nelvaanian into the upper ranks of the village's warrior scouts. Nelvaanian should first confirm that horaxes being sent are pure male before they can be brought by Nelvaanian
Jawa solitary creatures that inhabit Tatooine. They roam the land on sandcrawlers and deal in trade among others. Anakin Skywalker converses with them on Episode II, Attack of the Clones, when he goes to look for his mother, Shmi, after she was kidnapped by Tusken Raiders. Jawas are enemies of the Tusken Raiders. The androids R2-D2 and C-3PO were sold to Luke Skywalker by the Jawas in A New Hope, Episode 4.
Huge and powerful, they rival rancors in their ferocity and, as such, are favoured by wealthy crime lords such as the Hutts. They originally appear in Dark Forces, where in the main character, Kyle Katarn, is forced to face them, without weapons, after being captured by Jabba the Hutt. The Kell Dragon stands 2.4 m (8 ft) tall, and 6.1 m (20 ft) long. Covered in grey scales, its prime method of attack is to dive forward and bite.
Kybucks, which mate for life, raise a yearly litter of two or more foals, which are raised in barb-protected thickets. Parent Kybucks are known to fiercely protect their young.
Wookiees honor the kybuck for having Wookiee-like family instincts, and some leaders even keep kybucks as signs of status. Kybucks are never hunted by Wookiees. The distinguished Jedi Master Yoda, after healing an ill Wookiee princess, was given a kybuck from an elder Wookiee. Yoda brought the creature back with him to Coruscant, but honoring the Jedi way of not claiming ownership over anything, he considered the kybuck as friend instead of a pet. Yoda found that the Kybuck would serve well as a mount, and it was willing to go into battle with him on a few occasions, including during the defensive against General Grievous on the capital planet. Although the creature showed no fear of laser fire Yoda never took it into the thickest parts of the battles. The Jedi Master tried not to make much of an impact on the creature's mind, and to summon it he called it through the Force, for it had no spoken name. It is not known what happened to the kybuck on the night of order 66, the order that turned the clones against their Jedi Masters, but seeing as it was kept deep within the Jedi Temple, it was probably slaughtered in the raid on this landmark. It is also possible that since Yoda was on Kashyyk during Order 66, the Kybuck may have accompanied him there.
The race's leaders take the name "Mandalore", to honor their first leader. Eventually, the race's leader Mandalore the First is bested in combat by the rising Sith lord Ulic Qel-Droma, and the Mandalorians become affiliated as warriors for the Sith, although the race would work for anyone with enough credits.
After two sith wars (see Knights of the Old Republic), and a civil war within the Mandalorian ranks, a bounty hunter named Durge manages to assassinate a member of their rank 60 years prior to Episode IV. This event virtually wipes out the Mandalore, with the exception of Jango Fett and a few survivors. Jango would later become the source of the clone trooper army, along with the remaining Mandalores that would serve as clone trainers. Eventually, only Jango's genetic "son", Boba Fett, remains, although one of Jango's clones goes rogue and restarts the Mandalore race.
Found across the galaxy (having spread prolifically from their original system), mynocks tend to flock together, migrating annually in large groups. The most notable of these migrations were the famed migrations of Roon, where the sky could literally become darkened from swarms of these creatures.
Despite being a silicon-based life form, a properly prepared mynock could be ingested by carbon-based life forms; they were sometimes used in Twi'lek cuisine. The Jedi Order, in honor of the mynock's skill at evading attack, named a form of lightsaber combat after the beast, called Soresu.
They are incredibly fast animals, their agility making them top predators and for this reason, are frequently kept as 'guard-cats' in the compounds of major crime lords to sniff out and devour intruders and spies. They are incredibly hard to domesticate, and are kept as a form of execution method in Outer Rim worlds such as Geonosis and Malastare. The Dug crime lord, Sebolto, kept several Nexu specimens inside his massive Malastare complex that encompassed an area the size of a small jungle. Some are pitted against other deadly creatures in animal arenas on violent, uncivilized worlds.
Nexu that escape from such compounds or roam free have been known to be the thorn in the side of colonists and farmers; they kill cattle and are often known to attack small towns themselves, often picking off small children. They are rarely seen in zoos or private reserves as they are hard to tame and will often eat any other animal, including other Nexu. This makes Nexu skin coats and ivory incredibly expensive, and are often adorned by wealthy diplomats and senators.
After the Massassi had departed from the planet Yavin IV, they left behind a creature known only as The Night Beast to guard and protect their homeworld against anybody who might seek to take it over until they eventually returned.
Although the height of the creature is not known, the beast appears to be as tall as Chewbacca. Its skin is leathery and is murky green in colour, and has slightly acquatic facial features such as large fish-like lips that are filled with enormous teeth. It is a bipedal life form whose feet and hands end with gigantic, devastating claws and it possesses great strength.
The Nuna are gamebirds from Naboo, who can be seen living around the Lianorm Swamp. They are also known as the "Swamp Turkey" because they aren't very intelligent. A dwarf species existed, the adult of which was the same size as a chick of the common species. A number of dwarf nunas were exported to Tatooine as pets of Jabba the Hutt, who enjoyed callously flicking them off great heights to their death. Large numbers of wild dwarf nunas lived in the deserts during the time of the Galactic Civil War.
As a past-time, Gungans were known to use nunas in their bloated, agitated state for sport, kicking them around like footballs. "Nuna-ball" would gain some interest in the rest of the galaxy after the Battle of Naboo, and these creatures would be exported to many worlds for this purpose. Nuna meat was appreciated in cookery, although some alien species, including Twi'leks and Rodians, were allergic to this meat.
Like the native dewbacks of Tatooine, rontos are easy to train and become quite fond of their masters. Rontos have superb senses of hearing and smell, contrasting their poor vision, which is why they are startled by sudden movements. Rontos need a lot of water, although their skins shed excess heat, allowing them to function well in desert conditions. They are rarely exported, as offworlders think their skittishness makes them unreliable in urban environments.
During mating season, female rontos give off a powerful, musky scent, not dissimilar to the smell of a Rodian. During mating season, it is encouraged for Rodians to stay away from male rontos, as the beasts may mistakenly consider the Rodian a potential mate. Rontos are mild-tempered creatures.
In 3 ABY, a hibernating slivilith found itself near the planet of Arbra. It awakened and made a nest for itself inside an immense cavern, which was inhabited by the native Hoojibs. When the Rebel Alliance came to Arbra shortly afterwards, the Hoojibs asked them to exterminate the slivilith. In exchange, the Rebels were allowed to build a base on Arbra.
Urai Fen in the game Star Wars: Empire at War Forces of Corruption (tm) is the only Talortain seen in the Star wars franchise. He is 4000 years old and is second in command of the Zann Consortium. He is the only known living Talortai to date. He wields heavy blades attached to his arm, has a Sonic Stunner and a Personal Cloaking Device and regenerates over time.
Tauntauns are 2.5 m (8.2 ft) tall bipeds, indigenous to the ice planet Hoth. Tauntauns are covered with white fur, downturned horns, four nostrils, and have a foul body odor. They subsist off lichen found in hoarfrost as well as eating mushrooms and other fungi found in ice caves. They give birth to two young at a time, twice in one Hoth year. They are used as mounts by the Rebel Alliance, and have been exported offworld to other cold-climate regions (including Coruscant's polar caps) for use as mounts, beasts of burden, and tourist attractions. Their thick layers of fat and fur provide adequate protection from the cold during the daytime, but tauntauns cannot survive the plummeting night temperatures without shelter. Tauntauns are sometimes preyed upon by the Wampa. The horns aren't used for attack, due to their gentle nature. They are, however, used for defense when utilized as mounts for the Hoth Echo Base scouts. They are fairly common creatures on Hoth.
Luke used to "bullseye womp rats in [his] T-16 back home." Beggar's Canyon, on Tatooine, is a really popular spot for "womp runs," in which lightly armored T-16 skyhoppers race through the narrow canyon picking off womp rats for points. Womp rats have been featured prominently in different episodes of Family Guy. When this happens "Luke" generally follows the exact quote from the original movies before Family Guy changes the scene entirely for comedy.
The womp rat is featured in the LucasArts video game Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy as a playable character

Scores of protesters on Friday chanted slogans in Cairo's Tahrir Square calling for the intervention of the Egyptian army, an Aswat Masriya witness reported.
Hundreds gathered in the square to protest against the rule of President Mohamed Mursi and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Sheikh Mohamed Abdallah, the imam who led Friday noon prayers in Tahrir today, rejected the idea of opening the square to traffic.
Abdallah, founder of a group of Azhar Sheikhs calling for a civil state, accused the brotherhood of rioting and vandalism.
Demonstrators chanted against heads of the military council Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi and Lieutenant General Sami Anan who handed power over to Mursi after he was elected president last June.
Scores of demonstrators also set up a platform at the Ittihadiya presidential palace in Cairo where they placed pictures of 16 soldiers who were killed by Jihadists in an attack on Sinai's Rafah last year.

The ultimate in education apps arrives for iOS with Gojimo
Whether you're a student or a teacher, this latest release from 'Education Apps' – and the developers first on iOS – is sure to attract some attention. Gojimo is a new all in one learning tool which you'll be able to utilize on the go with your iPhone or iPad.
Available on the iPhone and iPad, with content for most British and American secondary school qualifications, Gojimo offers content from some of the world's largest academic publishers including McGraw-Hill Education and Oxford University Press. Students are able to download the app for free and can then purchase textbooks, study guides and quizzes as an in-app purchase.
Gojimo will offer students the ability to download the application for free and then via in-app purchases they can buy the content that is relevant to them. I've been lucky enough to meet with Education Apps creator George Burgess a few times as he has already had success on various platforms with other applications and he's a great guy with a real passion for bringing the finest educational apps to mobile platforms. Better yet, Burgess wants to try and take some of the stress out of exam revision, and make it a little more fun:
"We're playing around with some interesting gamification ideas; the hope is that we can make exam preparation just slightly more bearable for students," says Burgess. "We've seen mobiles and tablets revolutionise every part of our lives, except for education. Gojimo changes that."
If you're in school in the UK or the U.S. then this one is definitely worth checking out. Grab the new app at the App Store link below, and drop back with your thoughts. It's a great app, but we'd love to know what folks in education think of it.

Governments from around the world are meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, this week to frame a global strategy for fighting a flu pandemic. Many already have national plans, but a detailed look shows that few would save us from serious trouble if a pandemic were to strike any time soon.
That could now change. Recent weeks have seen a startling shift in attitudes, with governments taking the threat far more seriously. Last week, the US published a pandemic plan that pledges $7.1 billion, mainly for vaccines and drugs. For the first time the meeting in Geneva includes financial institutions such as the World Bank, which plans a global pandemic fund in 2006.
Further good news has also emerged from a little-publicised meeting in Geneva last week. Vaccine companies and national authorities agreed to test low-dose vaccines against the H5N1 strain of bird flu. The lower the dose, the more vaccine doses ...

Modern Chaplin tells the feeling of no memory
Canada's Dulcinea Langfelder, renowned for recapturing the comic tradition of Charlie Chaplin, will perform "Victoria" for the "Solo Soul" series in July, to be presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department.
"Victoria", based on a text by Charles Fariala, is a multi-media production that roams between reality and imagination.
"Victoria" had lost her memory, her cat, control over her life as well as her bladder but not her zest for life. Her wheelchair was also her rocking chair, her prison, her tango partner and her flying chariot. She savoured every moment and celebrated small, remaining victories of love and imagination. This was a humorous, warm, loving look at ageing woman.
In her performance, Dulcinea Langfelder will tell the poignant tale of death and dying. Langfelder's creations juxtapose elements of acting, singing and interaction with projected images, in richly textured narratives. She studied dance in New York with Paul Sanasardo, mime with Etienne Decroux in Paris, and theatre with Eugenio Barba and Yoshi Oida. She recaptures the comic tradition of Chaplin, with an original and a very contemporary twist, through clever use of technology and multiple disciplines.
The performance will be staged at 8 pm from July 2 to 4 (Friday to Sunday) at the Studio Theatre, Hong Kong Cultural Centre. Tickets priced at $160 and $100 are now available at all URBTIX outlets. Half-price tickets are available for senior citizens, people with disabilities, full-time students and Comprehensive Social Security Assistance recipients, while Friends of LCSD performing venues receive a 10% discount. For group booking discount schemes, please refer to programme leaflets.
For ticketing enquiries and reservations, call 2734 9009; for programme enquiries, call 2268 7323; for credit card telephone bookings, call 2111 5999; for Internet bookings, visit
. For more programme details, visit
There will be a post-performance meet-the-artists session to be held on July 2. Patrons are welcome to stay after the show to meet Langfelder.
Artists and technicians of all disciplines are welcome to attend a master class with Langfelder as instructor at 2 pm on July 4 (Sunday) at the GR1, 6/F, Grand Theatre Backstage, Hong Kong Cultural Centre. Admission is free. Those who are interested, please enrol at 2268 7323.
Other coming attractions of the Solo Soul series include "Metalove" by Daniel Yeung (June 18 and 19 at Hong Kong Cultural Centre), "The Silent and the Obscure" by Wong Bik-wan (June 17 to 20 at Ngau Chi Wan Civic Centre), and dance solo by Vincent Mantsoe from South Africa (July 9 to 11 at Hong Kong Cultural Centre).

Gig 'em Nazareth? Perry announces A&M campus in Israel
By Peggy Fikac | October 23, 2013 | Updated: October 23, 2013 7:44pm
AUSTIN — Gov. Rick Perry, on an overseas trip that's fanning talk of another run for president, said Wednesday he sees a Texas A&M University campus in Israel as a "grassroots" way to help the cause of Middle East peace.
"The real beauty of what Texas A&M is putting forward is this campus where Muslims and Jews and Christians have the opportunity to study together," Perry said in a conference call with reporters after announcing the planned branch, which is called Texas A&M University at Nazareth-Peace Campus.

Miley cyrus debuts new haircut
By Andrea Waguespack | December 9, 2013
Photo By David Livingston/Getty ImagesLena Dunham's platinum blond hair walked the red carpet for the first time on Monday, during the Primetime Emmys. Fans had questioned whether the cut was a wig earlier this month, but she assured them it is not.

Photo By JB Lacroix/Getty ImagesCanadian actress Malin Akerman also debuted a short new cut at the Emmys, chopping off her long layers and shaving the sides of her head.

Photo By Jon Kopaloff/Getty ImagesJulianne Hough caused a stir in early 2014 when she went super-short.

Photo By Getty ImagesWe're not sure what led Jack White to his signature, parted-down-the-middle haircut, but we're glad he decided to go with a new (and still a bit weird) look in August. Photo from Jack White's Instagram feed, thirdmanrecordsofficial.

Photo By Jason Merritt/Getty ImagesFortunately, Joaquin Phoenix quickly recovered. Here he is at at PETA's 30th Anniversary Gala and Humanitarian Awards in September 2010 in Los Angeles.
Photo By MARK RALSTON/AFP/Getty ImagesRihanna got lots of attention in 2010, when she dyed her hair bright red. The singer told Elle Canada she did it to remain "edgy" while wearing more conservative clothes.

Photo By Courtesy of Warner Bros Pictures/Warner Bros. PicturesThe short cut was a far cry from the long, wild locks that became famous through the "Potter" series.

Photo By Kevin Winter/GettyLady Gaga creeped out fans in August 2011 when she showed up to the MTV Music Awards as her greaser alter ego, Jo Calderone.
Photo By Luca Bruno/ASSOCIATED PRESSOf course, no look is too outrageous for Gaga, shown in Italy in October. The world's just waiting to see what she comes up with next.
Just when we think we have a handle on the new and improved Miley Cyrus, another version pops up.
Miley debuted yet another interesting haircut at the 24th Annual KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas in Los Angeles.
The blond bob looks like a cross between Vogue editor Anna Wintour's signature 'do and the hair rocked by Angelina Jolie's character from 'Girl, Interrupted.'
In Miley's defense, though, she might have just hit that awkward growing-out-a-super-short-'do phase. Either that, or it's a wig (in which case, you're on your own, girl.)
