Two different minerals with similar physical properties are talc and pyrophyllite. Their physical properties are nearly identical. Both are very soft: talc is the softest mineral on the Mohs' hardness scale at 1, and pyrophyllite is 1 to 2. Because they are so soft, they can be easily cut and crushed. Archaeological discoveries have shown that talc was carved in ancient Babylonia to make signature seals. Chinese "soapstone" carvings are carved from fine-grained pyrophyllite.
Both talc and pyrophyllite have perfect cleavage in one direction. This means that these minerals break into thin sheets. As a result, both feel greasy to the touch (which is why talc is used as a lubricant). They are both formed in metamorphic environments as the result of changes in silica-rich dolomite.
Steatite and soapstone are impure, massive forms of talc that lack the distinctive cleavage mentioned above.
The name talc is thought to be derived from the Arabic word talg or talk meaning mica since talc forms mica-like flakes. In other words, it displays [[micaceous cleavage]]. The name in its present form was given by Georgius Agricola in 1546.
The name pyrophyllite comes from the Greek words pyr meaning fire and phyllon meaning leaf, a reference to the fact that it flakes when heated. The name was given by R. Hermann in 1829.
There are numerous talc and pyrophyllite resources worldwide. The United States produces enough talc and pyrophyllite to meet its annual needs. Of the seven states producing talc, most is mined in Montana, New York, Texas and Vermont. All the pyrophyllite produced in the United States is mined in North Carolina. Despite the volume of talc/pyrophyllite produced domestically, some is imported from China, Canada, Japan, and other countries. Of the countries importing U.S.-produced talc, Canada is the largest importer.
Unlike other commodities, talc and pyrophyllite are not recycled.
Ground talc is used as an ingredient in ceramics, paper, paint, roofing, plastics, cosmetics, talcum and baby powders, and a variety of other assorted uses such as making rubber and plastics.
Ground pyrophyllite is used in the production of ceramics, heat-resistant products called fractories, and paint.
Soapstone was once used to make chemical-resistant sinks and counter tops for laboratories. Before the days of furnaces, blocks of soapstone were heated on stoves and used as bed warmers.
Substitutes and Alternative Sources
Clays and pyrophyllite can be used in place of talc in the manufacture of ceramics. Kaolin (a clay mineral) and mica can be substituted for talc in the production of rubber, paint, and plastics. Kaolin can be used in place of talc in paper production. The available reserves of talc are sufficient for many decades to come so such substitutions are not necessary, though they may be cost-effective depending on the relative costs of talc, mica, pyrophyllite and kaolin.

Beauvais : Michelin's recommendations
The best views of Beauvais can be enjoyed from the Pont de Paris, from where the imposing bulk of the cathedral, supported by a mass of flying buttresses, rises above the rooftops. Make your way into the town, which suffered some of the worst bomb damage of the Second World War, and you'll pass wood-timbered houses and a few examples of architectural ceramics, one of the region's great traditions. The capital of the Oise and the centre of tapestry remains typical of the Picardy in every way.

I have an issue that i face every time i decide to build a cube, and i haven't found a way to over come it yet.
the issue is how to allow the user to define Range of things automatically without having the need to hard code them in the dimension.
i will explain my problem in an example
i have a table call
and this is the Data in the table
Now if i want to display the data in a Pivot style and group up the Salary and Age in Defined ranges like below
i write this script and define the Ranges
SELECT [CustId]
,[SalaryRange] = case
when cast(salary as float) <= 500 then
'0 - 500'
when cast(salary as float) between 501 and 1000 then
'501 - 1000'
when cast(salary as float) between 1001 and 2000 then
'1001 - 2000'
when cast(salary as float) > 2000 then
[AgeRange] = case
when cast(age as float) < 15 then
'below 15'
when cast(age as float) between 15 and 19 then
'15 - 19'
when cast(age as float) between 20 and 29 then
'20 - 29'
when cast(age as float) between 30 and 39 then
'30 - 39'
when cast(age as float) >= 40 then
FROM [Customers]
Now you see my ranges are hard coded and defined. and when i copy the data to excel sheet and view it in pivot table it appear like below
My Problem is when i want to create a Cube by converting the
Customers table into a Fact table and creating 2 dimension tables
SalaryDim &
SalaryDim table has 2 columns
(SalaryKey,SalaryRange) and the
AgeDim table is similar as well
and my
customer fact table has
[AgeKey] --> foreign Key to AgeDim
[Salarykey] --> foreign Key to SalaryDim
I still have to define my ranges inside these dimensions and every time i connect excel pivot to my cube, i can only see these hardcoded defined ranges.
My question is how to Define Ranges dynamically from the pivot table directly, without creating Their Range Dimensions like
AgeDim Range or
SalaryDim Range
and i dont want to only be stuck to the ranges defined in the dimension
Now the range defined is
'0-25' , '26-30' , '31- 50'
if i want to change it to
'0-20', '21-31' , '32-42'
and so on, and users request different ranges every time
every time i change it i have to change the dimension, how can i improve this process

Rated 5 out of 5 by cruisersab wonderful bag This bag is gorgeous. I like the way is opens fully on the top so you don't have to divide items into sections. It holds more that way. I got the yellow and it is sort of French's mustard color. It is very light weight but quite sturdy. I will be using it as a carry-on for two upcoming trips, one by air and one cruise.Bought it on sale at a great price. I will buy more of this brand if the price is right. January 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by travel4ever well made - great yellow/golden color - a bit larger than I thought but will be able to get more into in for on the plane February 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by JRatt This bag is roomy and light. Not my favorite color but it stands out in a crowd and was nicely priced. Pulls easily and fits under the seat of those troublesome commuter airlines. November 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by 1Rail Love the Bag allows me room for my lunch, coat and all needed items April 1, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by frequenttraveller not stable Bought this in combination with the 18" weekend satchel. Wheeled duffle bag tends to be front/top heavy and would roll over as I was walking through airport where I would end up dragging it instead of rolling it. Also, no pockets of any type on exterior so no convenient place to tuck tickets or ID as I went through security. I thought that the pieces would work together to attach in some way but the 18" satchel that I wanted to strap to the wheeled duffel kept sliding off of and basically under the handles of the wheeled duffle. I could not get it to ride steady or attach in any other way on top of the wheeled duffle and had to carry it on my shoulder. November 27, 2013

- McKay, Dana; Buchanan, George; Vanderschantz, Nicholas; Timpany, Claire; Cunningham, Sally Jo; Hinze, Annika
- Abstract
- Digital library research has demonstrated the impact of content presentation on both search and reading behaviours. In this paper, we scrutinise the influence of ebook presentation on user behaviour, focussing on document thumbnails and the first page view. We demonstrate that flaws in presentation increase the volume of short time-span reading, and reduce the likelihood of long-span reading when compared to other documents. This reflects other patterns of information seeking behaviour that demonstrate increased short-term reading when information content is uncertain, and suggests an ineffective use of reader time on less useful content.

Limited Tsukuyomi 2
I've seen Limited Tsukuyomi performed... It isnt anything like the normal Tsukuyomi. Not at all. He didn't even cast it with his eyes. Also, it's speculation to assume that Obito is using Tsukuyomi. When Madara cast his version of Limited Tsukuyomi on obito, to give him an example of the technique, he used the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path with a regular Sharingan, a non-Mangekyou Sharingan. We also now know the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path is the body of the Ten-Tails.
I think we should create a new page for Infinite Tsukuyomi and Limited Tsukuyomi using what we actually know now. In both depiction and usage of both techniques, they used a regular 3 Tomoe and not the actual Tsukuyomi at that. J/s. Skarrj (talk) 06:09, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
He used his eyes, notice the tomoe reflection on the crystal ball, also we know he has a MS. For Madara, what he did back there also appears to have been Limited Tsukuyomi, I wanted to make a topic on this long ago, thanks for a reminder. Also you are missing a little thing, MS techniques were seen performed with a regular Sharingan (Obito spamming Kamui seemingly with 3 tomoe, Susanoo etc.), not to mention it has been stated that the eye is nothing but a tool, the actual power resides within the user. Special chakra within an Uchiha's brain affects the optic nerve and changes the eye, thus even with an eye replaced, the mangekyou power should still be there. EDIT: but yes, both limited and infinite tsukuyomi should have a separate article from tsukuyomi, a little speculation, but I think LS and IS are yin-yang release versions of Tsukuyomi just as Blaze Release is seemingly yin-yang release version of Amaterasu--Elveonora (talk) 14:56, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
I still don't think what Madara did to Obito counts as a limited Tsukuyomi. What he did to Obito can very reasonably be achieved with Genjutsu: Sharingan, not to mention Madara did not have MS at that point, so in no way that would be a Tsukuyomi. And regarding the chakra, if it was as simple as putting the special chakra to the eyes, they could simply use someone who awakened the MS transplant eyes over and over with other Uchiha so a significant number of them had MS. Heck, just have one of them flow their chakra through an another Uchiha. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:42, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
If they don't feel loss of a close loved one, their brains produce not such chakra, thus transplanting a MS eye into a non-MS Uchiha would grant him those powers only for as long as the eyes are in his sockets. Also back on topic, do you have something against creating one/two articles for this matrix/inception version of Tsukuyomi?--Elveonora (talk) 18:36, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
Everyone thought it was pointless to create an Infinite Tsukuyomi article, and when the name for the Limited Tsukuyomi came along, everyone thought the same. I don't oppose the creation, I just find it unnecessary, if not a bit redundant, since we know that in Tsukuyomi, the user can control everything. Only thing that seems to change between regular, limited and infinite is range and potency. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:53, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
Not just that, Tsukuyomi is nothing but illusion while limited/infinite actually trap people in fake world--Elveonora (talk) 21:26, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
Do you really think that they were actually transported somewhere else? This is more like part 1 filler Kurama clan arc genjutsu than actual alternate reality. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:36, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
I thought you saw the movie, they were sucked into the crystal ball. What confirms the dimension being "real" in a sense is Naruto keeping AU Sakura father's hokage cloak for a brief moment and AU Sakura entering "the real world" in anime. That's what differentiate the two tsukuyomi, one is an illusion that's completely controlled by it's user, the latter is the same just thoughts actually becoming real, wouldn't be the first thing, Izanagi does something similar--Elveonora (talk) 21:41, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
All the show is the crystal ball glowing when they see the moon through it. Nothing indicates them being sucked into it. And when they break out of the genjutsu world, the ball is just shown breaking. When they come to it, they're simply staring, as expected of someone who's trapped in genjutsu. No indication of them being released from another dimension. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:06, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
Read the above again please, also the Kunai he threw at him broke the crystal ball, not to mention Obito wanted to steal Kurama from him within the illusion--Elveonora (talk) 22:19, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
Of course they'd see Obito trying to steal Kurama within the illusion, Obito cast the illusion. Pretty much the whole scene is seen from the perspective of those inside the genjutsu. Relatively speaking, the audience is in the genjutsu. Besides, there's no sign of broken crystal once they come out of it. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:41, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
So you want to tell me Obito cast a genjutsu that made it possible for Naruto to escape from it? Yes, that's why he showed disappointment. And are you saying that the Obito within the genjutsu wasn't real? Then we interpret the movie quite differently--Elveonora (talk) 23:48, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
Madara limited Tsukuyomi
After re-reading chapter 606, it seems to me quite certain that what Madara did to Obito was that technique. He said that the same thing only has to be cast onto everyone using the moon--Elveonora (talk) 23:47, April 5, 2013 (UTC)
- Couldn't be. Tsukuyomi is a MS technique. Madara's MS was in Nagato's eye socket as Rinnegan. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 02:46, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

www.bleeter.biz is a website accessible in The Ballad of Gay Tony. An obvious parody of Twitter, it is a social networking and microblogging site. The site allows users to post "Bleets" from the computer or their phones, which generally contain small snippets of information about what they happen to be doing at the moment of their Bleet, much like Twitter's "Tweets". Also, the verb of Bleeter is "Bleeting", in a in similar vain to Tweeter's "Tweeting". Bleeter's mascot is a sheep and its slogan is "Life suddenly got quick." The site's name comes from the word "bleat," the sound a sheep makes, parodying the mindlessness and banality of sites like it. Also, the sheep's sound effect is heard when a user checks a recently posted Bleet via mobile phone. Like Twitter, it would appear that it is often used by celebrities whose Bleets are subscribed to and read on a frequent basis by fans. The name could be a reference to the British comedian and TV presenter Stephen Fry, a more "famous" user of Tweeter. During his Blackadder years, namely the last series, Fry regularly makes a strange bleating noise or "Baaah!".
It is used by many people throughout The Ballad Of Gay Tony, such as British debutante Daisie Cash-Cooze who, during a random encounter, uses it to track down homosexual movie star Chris Hunt, who regularly Bleets. The Bleets help to pinpoint Hunt's location as he moves throughout Liberty City though they often need to be deciphered to find their true meaning. Evan Moss, Gay Tony's boyfriend is first assumed dead by Luis Lopez and Tony when he Bleets about being cornered by bikers in the mission Frosting on the Cake, which Tony reads. The pair both agree that it is an odd time for anyone to update their Bleeter.
The frequent use of Bleeter may possibly hint that the GTA IV timeline (or at least the episodes) goes into 2009 as the real-life Twitter became a big trend in 2009.

Before he once again dons the tight-fitting yellow uniform of the dashing and daring James T. Kirk, Captain of the USS Enterprise, in Star Trek 2 (working title) or becomes the fourth actor—after Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford and Ben Affleck—to bring Tom Clancy's heroic political character to life in the as-yet-untitled fifth Jack Ryan movie adaptation, rising actor Chris Pine might be playing a more "unsavory" character in a new movie from director Jeff Nichols (Take Shelter) and producers Sarah Green (Tree of Life) and Aaron Ryder (My One and Only) titled Mud.
According to the LA Times, "a source close to the project" revealed that Pine is in talks to star in the coming-of-age drama as the title character, a fugitive of the law who needs the help of two 14-year-old boys to help him get off of an island in the Mississippi (Great Expectations meets The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, anyone?). Pine's Mud would not be a classic "black" villain, but more a shade of gray, a "redemptive character...who teaches the boys as much as he learns from them." In a recent interview, Ryder likened Mud to Stand By Me and said that working with Christopher Nolan on movies like Memento and The Prestige has helped to teach him "that you can make commercially viable movies that people want to see that are still smart and sophisticated."

Twenty-two-year-old Urundi Allen is wanted on a charge of first-degree intentional homicide. He's accused of fatally shooting Lonnie Edmond on Tuesday.
A criminal complaint says Allen called Edmond's girlfriend while she was at Edmond's house and made suggestive comments to her. Edmond then took the phone and began arguing with Allen.
Prosecutors say Allen then called two friends and one of them drove him to Edmond's house. Witnesses told police Allen got a gun out of the trunk and shot Edmond twice before fleeing.
The two friends were taken into custody shortly after the shooting and face criminal charges.

Our love of vampire costumes has brought you the Vampire Woman, Twilight Baby Names, and Porphyria, but now I would like to present you with something so unrealistic that you simply have to read along to believe it.
Jonathon Sharkey, who has the coolest last name I have ever heard of, has already filed the necessary paperwork to run for President as a Republican in 2012. That's not so much of a big deal though, right? People do that all of the time. But Jonathon Sharkey is no normal potential Republican presidential candidate Jonathon Sharkey is a sanguinary vampyre and a Satanist.
Here's a video of ABC News covering Sharkey's running in the next campaign. (Skip to 0:50 to see him.)
Sharkey has gone on the record to state that he drinks the blood of his girlfriends and mistresses twice a week. (How this man has more than one woman willingly offering him their blood, I will never know.) He never drinks the blood of men though, only women. Women are beautiful, he said to MSNBC. And they have beautiful necks and beautiful arms. While I agree that women are beautiful, I have yet to find myself craving a woman's blood.
But let's look at his political beliefs:
"I won't be bullied, I won't be blackmailed. Criminals and terrorists will fear me along with corrupt law enforcement officials. I will not tolerate crime or terrorism."
Tough words, but what about the really tough criminals? Let's go back to Sharkey:
"Certain criminals, instead of being put in jail, they should be brutally tortured and impaled. Upon them being found guilty of their crimes I'll beat them, torture them, dismember them and decapitate them."
Sharkey openly states that has turned against God, and here is why: I will not worship a god who causes the deaths of innocent children. I will not worship a god who allowed his only son to be used as a human sacrifice on the cross for what they believe the sins of the world and while his dying would turn around forsake him on the cross. Obviously these are very powerful words coming from a man who clearly has very powerful beliefs. The only question that remains is, could this man become the next president?
When asked if he believes he stands a chance of being elected, he said, Yes, I have a chance of winning. People like Sarah Palin are making it quite easy to pull off.
So, we can point all fingers at Sarah Palin for the possibility of the first vampiric Republican presidential candidate. Honestly, that may be the first time Sarah Palin's existence has made me smile. Thank you, Palin, and may you never reenter the political limelight again.
Anyway, I just have one last thing to say before we conclude this pleasant article: Swimmers in this year's political waters better be careful….because it's getting Sharkey.

I need help with blending effects in Photoshop 7. I need to blend two distinct areas so the flow between them is not a sudden change in color via a line. Is there a tool/way to achieve this?
I need help with blending effects in Photoshop 7. I need to blend two distinct areas so the flow between them is not a sudden change in color via a line. Is there a tool/way to achieve this?
Are these on the same layer, or different layers? I'd try the smudge tool, with a soft fuzzy brush selected.
You can also try using a Gaussian Blur (Filters > Blur > Gaussian Blur) - you'll need to play with the settings a bit until you get what you like.

My favorite way to tackle this problem, assuming you have both of the two colors on separate layers is a combination of the previous two mentioned methods as well as using a layer mask.
- Place the redish layer on top and fill entirely with your color.
- Create a selection of the area which you want to retain the redish color. Depending on if you want the blending to go down from the current line or up from the current line, you will make your selection end at the line OR higher respectively.
- Optional: Create a channel from the selection for later use
- Add the selection as a layer mask
- In the layers dialog, select the mask instead of the image.
- Use the smudge tool and/or a gausian blur to modify the layer mask. Remember, wherever there is white on the layer mask will show through and where the layer mask is black will be hidden. Any grey value in between the two will be some level of opacity.

If that's on two layers, here's what I would do. First use Rob A's Tutorial on Randomized Coastlines to break up that straight edge. The human mind is really great at seeing that sort of thing. Now that you have a nicely jittered hard selection, this is the time to blur the transition. Don't blur the image itself, but the alpha channel for the upper layer.
Hopefully this is somewhat clearer than mud...

The Mark DeRosa Trade
I feel for Mark DeRosa.
All the guy wants is to play for the Cubs. Instead, he's suiting up with the rival Cardinals.
No doubt it's a move up from playing with god-awful Cleveland, but I would rather see DeRosa in a White Sox uni before seeing him wear the birds on the bat.
It's fitting DeRosa now has the chance to punish his former GM, Jim Hendry, for the remainder of the season, and maybe even longer if the Cardinals decide to resign Mark to a multi-year deal.
What's worse, however, is watching Milton Bradley, DeRosa's offseason replacement; slowly divide the Cubs' clubhouse.
Who knew ditching DeRo would ever hurt the Cubs this much?

Did you know that the annual number of spinal fusion operations in the U.S. increased more than 75 percent between 1996 and 2001? But "failed back sugary syndrome" is still a common problem, with enormous costs to patients, insurers, and society.
According to a study published in Spine last year, spinal fusion surgeries often backfire, failing an astonishing 74 percent of the time!
Researchers looked at 1,450 workers' compensation patients who had diagnosis of disc herniation, radiculopathy, or disc degeneration. Half of the patients had fusion surgery in hopes of curing low back pain. The other half had no surgery, even though they had comparable diagnoses. The results were as follows:
- Two year after fusion surgery, 26 percent of union cases had returned to work, while 67 percent of nonsurgical controls had returned to work within town years from date of injury
- The re-operation rate was 27 percent for surgical patients
- Of the lumbar fusion subjects, 36 percent had complications
- Permanent disability rates were 11 percent for surgery case and 2 percent for nonoperative controls
- For lumbar fusion subjects, daily opioid use increased 41 percent after surgery, with 76 percent of cases continuing opioid use after surgery
- Total number of days off work was more prolonged for surgical cases compared to nonoperative controls, 1140 and 316 days, respectively
From the study's conclusion: "Lumbar fusion for the diagnoses of disc degeneration, disc herniation, and/or radiculopathy in a WC setting is associated with significant increase in disability, opiate use, prolonged work loss, and poor RTW(Return to Work) status."

News 12 First at Five / Thursday, March 21, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Easter is just two Sundays away. The Christian holiday celebrates Jesus' rising from the dead and as churches across the country prepare for that, one Augusta church has a mystery to solve.
"I noticed the lights weren't on, so I went to go check that out and noticed -- oh, Jesus is not here anymore," said Robert Fain, the senior pastor at The Church of the Good Shepherd.
Fain has pastored at the church for almost 30 years.
The statue of a risen Jesus was supposed to be outside the church, but now it's gone.
"You can kind of see where the trash has gone in the back of Jesus' head," pointed out Fain.
Someone removed the statue a few nights ago. Fain says he isn't mad but he does wonder why.
"If anybody takes something from a church, you're always wondering... OK, what kind of place is that person in that brings them to that point?" Fain said.
And he isn't the only one who's not angry about the missing statue.
"It didn't make me mad," said Amy Sutherland Nesbit.
Nesbit has been a member of the church her whole life. And while she also wonders why someone would take a statue, she's praying it's a prank with a bad sense of timing.
"Liturgically, it would have been more appropriate for Jesus to go missing on Good Friday, which is a week from tomorrow," Nesbit said.
And while the timing may be off for the disappearance, Nesbit is still hoping for one thing.
"For Jesus to return Saturday night or Sunday morning for Easter," she said.
Despite the strange crime, the preacher still has a message.
"Wish folks have a happy Easter, and if folks aren't planning to go to church somewhere, we hope they'll think about that and would love to have them come worship with us," Fain said.
The church is praying the thieves do the right thing. If they don't, they want them to know something: Somebody's always watching -- in more ways than one.
Church officials say they won't press charges if the statue is returned, but they will consider pressing charges if the thieves are caught.
The statue is 5 feet tall and made of fiberglass with a resin coating. It's gold with white worn spots on the right side of the statue's head and right arm.

Yvette Picard
this wiki
Yvette Gessard-Picard was a Human woman who lived in La Barre, France during the early-24th century. She was the wife of Maurice Picard, the mother of Robert and Jean-Luc Picard, and the paternal grandmother of René Picard. Yvette was deceased by 2364. Jean-Luc affectionately referred to her as "Maman".
Yvette used to sing "come out, come out wherever you are" to Jean-Luc when he was a young child. (Star Trek: Insurrection)
While in a distant section of the universe where thoughts become reality, Jean-Luc Picard experienced a brief vision of his mother. (TNG: "Where No One Has Gone Before")
As a child, Captain Picard took piano lessons; though he seemed antipathetic to them, in later life he regretted giving them up, as they pleased his mother. (TNG: "The Perfect Mate")

May 2, 2016
Dozens of citizens and interest groups are prepared to try to persuade North Carolina House members to their way of thinking on requiring citizens to show photo identification before voting.
The House Elections Committee scheduled a public hearing Tuesday afternoon in Raleigh. It's part of what Republicans call a deliberative and fair approach to developing a voter ID bill they hope ultimately is approved by the House and Senate and signed into law by Gov. Pat McCrory.
GOP legislators passed a photo ID requirement in 2011 but it was vetoed by Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue.
Supporters say the public wants the requirement to discourage voter fraud. Civil rights groups and their allies say any such law would erode voting rights and they'll fight it in court.

I would like to hear a wolf howl from a dark glen in the deep woods rather than from the stereo speakers in my living room.
But I haven't thought much about how many lambs or beef calves ought to be sacrificed to make this happen.
Nor have I considered who should suffer so that I might enjoy a brief, shivery thrill while sitting beside a campfire.I can afford to ignore such questions because I don't own livestock.
(And I doubt any wolf would bother with my cat.)
But quite a lot of my neighbors here in Baker County do.
And they, unlike me and most people who rhapsodize about the haunting beauty of a wolf's echoing howl, have neither the luxury of pondering wolves in abstract terms, nor of indulging in fantasies about experiencing the vestiges of a purely natural world not yet spoiled by human hands.
Ranchers have bills.
And it's their currency, not mine, that smells like dinner to wolves, and to several other predators besides.
When you have herds to look after I suspect you're too prosaic to ever forget that real wolves, in contrast to the idealized creatures that adorn T-shirts and propagandistic posters, have prodigious appetites and aren't particular about the source of the blood they spill to satiate themselves.
Wolves certainly don't care that your banker counted on you to bring half a ton more meat to the auction block.
This question of balancing the needs of wolves and livestock is not a new one around here.
The federal government brought wolves to Idaho in 1995, and four years later a young female lobo came west across the Snake. That wolf crossed Baker County and then roamed Grant County for a few weeks before the feds trapped her and hauled her back to Idaho.
Nonetheless, I am surprised that the theoretical problem of wolves preying on livestock in Baker County has now given way to the stark reality of a pasture strewn with the carcasses of 24 lambs.
Twice during the past week wolves — at least two of them, based on photographs taken by a motion-sensing camera — have turned the fenced sheep pen on Curt and Annie Jacobs' Keating Valley ranch into an abattoir.
This is the first confirmed case of wolves killing domestic animals in Oregon since the predators returned to Idaho 14 years ago. The slaughter of sheep rapidly energized the debate over whether there is room enough in Oregon, in the geographic as well as the cultural sense, for both a thriving wolf population and a healthy livestock industry.
The state government considered that question almost a century ago and its answer then was a resounding "no."
Oregon's game commission put a $20 bounty on wolves in 1913. Between that year and 1946, the state paid for 393 wolf skins.
That bounty pretty much solved the wolf problem in Oregon. Despite occasional, but rarely confirmed, sightings, wolves were officially absent from Oregon until the Idaho wolf's visit in February and March of 1999.
(The government, incidentally, named that wolf B-45. This seems to me a title ill-suited for a majestic animal, and more appropriate for a chemical used to color breakfast cereal.)
Wolves have rehabilitated their formerly bloodthirsty image in the ensuing decades, this trend aided, I suspect, by their relative scarcity and subsequent lack of slain sheep.
To put it in political terms — which is appropriate, since the management of wolves in the United States is a matter of politics as well as biology — wolves have got themselves a lobby.
This explains in part how it is that wolves have come back to Oregon after such a long hiatus without so much as a shot being fired at them in anger.
Or a lawsuit.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service didn't need voters' approval to release more than 60 wolves in Idaho and Yellowstone National Park during the mid 1990s.
But at least the feds admitted what they were up to in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming.
I suppose the wolves that strayed into Oregon constitute collateral damage, to borrow from the military's deep well of euphemism.
The bottom line for the Jacobses is that the government, without so much as mailing them a polite warning letter (the IRS at least complies with that courtesy), spent some of their taxes to nurture animals that killed two dozen of their sheep under cover of night.
Which is akin to the government sending someone over to pilfer through my wallet while I'm sleeping.
That's not the whole of it, either.
Because wolves will be sheltered by the Endangered Species Act at least until May 4, the Jacobses can for the time being yell and wave their arms at wolves all they want to but they can't, even if they see a wolf with its teeth sunk in a lamb's neck, fire a single lead bullet in the wolf's direction.
Not if they want to stay out of jail, anyway.
Which means that wolves have more rights than human rustlers, who sometimes end up not just harassed but also dead.
I understand we were pretty hard on wolves before World War II. But it seems to me that our government has gone a bit too far in making amends on our behalf.
I'm sure the government didn't mean for the Jacobses' lambs to be mauled.
And I believe that returning wolves to Oregon's wildlands is a noble and worthwhile goal. I hope it happens.
I'm troubled, though, that the first time wolves decided to eviscerate some lambs they chose for the ambush a place less than a quarter-mile from a house.
Sean Stevens, who works for Oregon Wild, contends the "most effective way to minimize conflict between ranchers and wildlife is to protect our remaining roadless backcountry areas, so that wolves and other wildlife have good habitat and are not forced into conflict with humans."
That sounds reasonable.
Except then I had a look at a map of Baker County, which is thumbtacked to the wall a few paces from my desk, and I noticed that the Jacobs ranch is just 15 miles or so from the Eagle Cap Wilderness.
That's the biggest chunk of roadless backcountry in Oregon, sprawling over 364,000 acres.
I hope the wolves like the Eagle Cap better after the snow melts and deer and elk, which wolves supposedly savor, migrate back to the high country.
Of course none of this speculation about assigning or deflecting blame helps the Jacobses.
Their lambs are just as surely dead as if federal employees had dispatched them with rifle fire rather than the Endangered Species Act.
Defenders of Wildlife, a pro-wolf group, has offered to reimburse the Jacobses for the value of their lambs.
I guess that's all right.
But I would prefer the feds made good the Jacobses' losses.
At least then I would know the final destination for a tiny fraction of the taxes I pay.
The government, it's true, showed no more interest in the Jacobses' opinion about wolves repopulating Oregon than it did mine.
But the only thing I'm likely to ever lose to wolves is 15 minutes of sleep, if ever I pitch my tent close by where a pack chooses to serenade.
Some people would gladly buy a ticket for that thrill.
The Jacobses have paid their way, in mutton and wool.

Well our friends bailed on us. Saying it is too cold and windy, but yet one of them would go out and hunt deer in this.
Currently clear cold with 25 mph winds out of the North-Northwest with a balmy wind chill so it feels like 16 degrees currently. Wonder how many other "fair weather fans" will bail today? I need a tailgate to go to!! We have chili and jello-shots.
Is booking my tickets to SD now too ballzy?

Hi Kallie
I can help with some of those.
CU means for commercial use. This means you can use the items in the kit to make commercial products [ so to sell] What it actually means depends on the individual designers TOU [Terms of Use] which you should always read. In the scarpbooking arena it generally means you can use the items to make things for kits you will sell and sometimes to make a small number of craft items]
You can't make them to make a product to then sell as CU. You will sometimes see CU4CU. This means you can make items you then sell for CU.
PU means for personal use. You can use the items in your personal scrapbooking or as in the TOU. You can't sell things made with them or make any money with them.
S4H means scrap for hire. this relates to people who have a business making scrapbook layouts for other people. So if you paid me to make a book for you that is scrap for hire. Some designers allow their prodcuts to be used for that purpose.
V3, V4, I have not heard and can only think of version 3 lol. Hopefully someone else can jump in there.
Just yell if you have any more questions as there is always someone here to help you out.

I know how to catch Groudon with a timer ball
Catch a Duskull at least at level 26 with Levitate. Face Groudon with your line up and make him use all 5 Fire blast. Send out Duskull and all Groudon has left is Earthquake, Bulk Up and Slash. Then weaken it and use Timer Balls. (Only works in Ruby) RTA fan (talk) 10:04, June 11, 2013 (UTC)

Pokebox Template
If you are able to, on the page with the source for the Template for Pokebox the line right above GENERATION AND REGION CATEGORIZATION the line with the fairy type information needs to be moved up so it is on the same line as the steel type information because how it is now makes every Pokemon have the Fairy type catagory.

Ability Count
All of the ability pages have a chart of all the pokémon that have that ability. At the heading of these charts, there is a color that associates with the majority type of pokémon that have that ability. Considering you're an administrator I thought I'd ask you a question on a dilemma I've been having. Should I consider pokémon that have the ability through the Dream World when I count the pokémon that have the ability in total? Because I was thinking that pokémon that naturally have the ability would count for 1, and pokémon that have the ability through the Dream World count for .5. What do you think? So I should go on with the
1 - Natural
.5 - Dream World.
I've noticed that all of the Kalos Pokemon have the categories Generation V Pokemon and Unova Pokemon on thier pages? Is their any way to fix it so that they say Generation VI Pokemon and Kalos Pokemon? I have visited all the new Kalos PKMN pages, and tried to remove them, but there is only one category I can remove! Is there away to fix this? If you don't know what I'm talking about, go to all of the Kalos PKMN and look at the categories. Thanks!--PanchamHelioptile (talk) 16:26, July 14, 2013 (UTC)
Matters to talk to you about.
I just saw you're message, and I would like to explain better. Not in talk page but on chat. A different chat because I don't want anyone speculating. Can we do it on this chat? Also don't tell anyone since I don't want them coming to this chat. Atelda1001 (Talk)

The Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center on Monday told about that outburst by Tamerlan Tsarnaev and provided more details on a second one two months later that the group had previously described.
The group said in its statement that Tsarnaev, who was pronounced dead on Friday after a shootout with police, was not a member of its Cambridge mosque but sometimes attended Friday services and daily prayers over the last year or so. His younger brother, Dzhokhar, who was captured Friday and charged Monday with conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, showed up sometimes for prayers, the group said.
Two U.S. officials told The Associated Press on Monday that the brothers were motivated by religion but appear not to be tied to any Islamic terrorist groups. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly.
Both mosque incidents happened after the older brother returned from a months-long trip to Russia last year. An aunt there said he was studying Islam but struggled to fit in.
The troublesome behavior first came in November, just before Thanksgiving, the mosque said.
The preacher met with Tsarnaev and discussed the issue after the service.
In January, the mosque said Tsarnaev had a similar outburst.
This time, the sermon included praise for Martin Luther King Jr., and this time Tsarnaev shouted, calling the preacher a "non-believer" and "hypocrite" who was "contaminating people's minds." Congregants shouted back at him, telling him to leave, and he did.
Later, volunteer leaders of the mosque met with him and told him that he would not be welcome at service if he interrupted again. The group said he continued attending sometimes and did not cause any more problems.
Associated Press reporters Eileen Sullivan and Pete Yost in Washington and Arsen Mollayev in Makhachkala, Russia, contributed to this report.

Rich Harden Hasn't Been Good Since Leaving Cubs
After missing all of last season due to injury Rich Harden signed a minor league deal with the Twins.
It wouldn't surprise me if the 31-year-old is still being considered a starter. But it feels long over due to start looking at Harden as a reliever.
The guy's durability is nonexistent. So if there's any value left in his right arm why not try and better maintain his health as a late-inning reliever?
It's likely to limit him from making too many back-to-back appearances, but it can't be any worse than Harden's tough luck staying healthy as a starter.
Anyway, I always remember Harden as Jim Hendry's answer to the Brewers trading for CC Sabathia in 2008, who was practically untouchable with Milwaukee (11-2, 1.65). But Harden held his own in 12 starts with Chicago:
(5-1, 1.77), ERA+258. No doubt one of Hendry's better trades.
Unfortunately more arm problems limited Harden to 26 starts the following season (9-9, 4.09) and the Cubs smartly parted ways in the offseason.
Oh yeah, who could forget Harden's ever present smirking grin? Where have I seen that before?

Log in
I still remember the feeling. I was living in Washington, D.C. It was my first time living in the big city as an adult. I missed the woods, the countryside, the quiet calm of my hometown in the Midwest. That D.C. summer was so hot. When you stepped outside, you felt like you were instantly encased in Saran Wrap, so cloying was the humidity. My roommates and I didn't have air conditioning, so we sought relief at the movies.
I lost myself for two hours, watching a group of boys frolic through the woods, narrowly escape a speeding train and a vicious dog, discover another boy's body. I could feel the cool of the green forest and the pull of childhood summers. When we left the movie theater, I was shocked by the brightness and the return of the feel of Saran Wrap. I was so immersed in Stand by Me that, at first, I didn't remember where I was!
Great movies can do that to you.
With Memorial Day around the corner, here are some movies, set in summer (or at least a good chunk of it,) to help you celebrate the season's 'unofficial' start:

Mac-Gray Campus Solution's Lighten the Load™ Program Mitigates over 107 Million Pounds of CO2 with Carbonfund.org Foundation
Mac-Gray Campus Solution's Lighten the Load™ initiative is reducing college carbon footprints while educating students on the benefits of making sustainable choices in the laundry room. We applaud the company for looking at the impact on the environment as a corporate priority. By encouraging campuses to reduce the environmental impact of their properties and facilities, and offering them environmentally responsible solutions to accomplish this objective, Mac-Gray is serving an important role to help campuses further their efforts to promote on campus sustainability. Since the start of the partnership six years ago, we are proud to report that Mac-Gray has mitigated over 107 million pounds of CO2 through external carbon reduction projects chosen to meet the voluntary guidelines set forth by the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment (ACUPCC).
In 2012, Mac-Gray supported our exceptional project located in the "lungs of the Earth" - the Brazilian Amazon. In the world's largest rainforest, the PURUS REDD + (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation) Project will protect over 85,000 acres from slash-and-burn forest clearing and prevent millions of tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. The Purus Project, the first ever REDD+ project in the State of Acre, to achieve dual-validation to the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standard (CCBS) with Gold Distinction, boasts many environmental and community benefits including: reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, mitigation of climate change, conservation of habitat for endangered and threatened species, improvement for local water quality, retaining of top soil and control erosion, establishing alternative sources of income and employment opportunities, and social projects and programs such as building a new school and health clinic. It is a high standard, cutting edge project that proves beneficial for both planet and people.
Carbonfund.org Foundation is a proud partner of Mac-Gray's Lighten the Load program and we look forward to building on the great work that has been done over the past six years.
Seven Years CarbonFree® Matters More to MWW
Seven years into its long-term commitment to environmental leadership, MWW is achieving great things towards its goal to do its part to make the world a better place. MWW, one of the nation's top mid-sized public relations firms and one of the ten largest independent agencies, is recognized for its work in consumer lifestyle marketing, digital marketing and social media, corporate communications, and visual branding.
MWW is also dedicated to reducing its global warming impact, improving quality of life and US energy security. Since 2007, MWW has led by example, committing to being CarbonFree® in partnership with Carbonfund.org. Over the past seven years, MWW has reduced the carbon impact from its business operations, totaling over 19 million pounds of CO2 mitigation, which is equivalent to the electricity use of 1,291 homes for one year through support of Carbonfund.org's renewable energy and forestry projects. That's also equivalent to the emissions from over 20,058 barrels of oil consumed or taking 1,797 cars off the road for one year.
"Our work in corporate social responsibility and corporate citizenship is some of the most important we do," emphasizes Michael Kempner, MWW President and CEO. "MWW remains firmly committed to doing our part to protect and preserve the environment, and we are pleased to continue our seven-year partnership with Carbonfund.org, a leader in carbon reduction and offset solutions. We challenge our peers in the industry, as well as our clients and partners, to join with us in this important work, or to adopt their own programs to help bring about a clean energy economy."
Employees at MWW give back through Good Matters, a company-wide Corporate Social Responsibility program, which enables employees to support local charities and other causes that are close to their hearts. Each year, team members can take advantage of eight hours of paid time off to volunteer for an organization of their choice. These collective efforts have defined MWW's commitment to corporate citizenship, for the environment, community, employees, and their clients. Carbonfund.org is proud to partner with MWW in helping to make the world a better, cleaner place to live.

text: It doesn't take a clairvoyant to predict Lakesia D. Johnson's Iconic: Decoding Images of the Revolutionary Black Woman (Baylor University Press) is headed for sustained popularity. It may take a minute, since college publishers don't have the publicity machinery of big houses. But, once word gets around, Black women, more than a few White ones and brothas with the sense to be interested in what's going on for sistahs are going to snatch this up like it's tomorrow's news. The writing's a bit clunky and on the academic side (after all, Johnson, J.D., Ph.D., is assistant professor of gender, women's and sexuality studies and gender, women's and sexuality studies at Grinnell College in Iowa).

A tie-up with US website eDiets.com will allow Tesco to offer a 'seamless' diet programme, from choosing the plan to generating an automatic shopping list of the necessary foods, which can then be delivered to customers' homes.
Although the diets available include low-calorie and low-carb plans such as Atkins, the supermarket is also targeting people with restricted eating requirements, such as lactose intolerance, who would usually have to check ingredient contents on every product.
It is the latest initiative in Tesco's 'Healthy Living' strategy, following the introduction of a glycemic index rating on food labels in June, as well as the trial of 'traffic light' labelling to indicate foods that are high in fat, sugar and salt.
Tesco.com chief executive Laura Wade-Gery said the move into online dieting was a natural progression for its online shopping service, which now has 3m registered users and sales of more than £500m, making it the world's biggest online grocer.
The deal means Tesco.com controls all licensing for eDiets in the UK and Ireland, the second-biggest diet market in the world after the US.
Tesco claims that converting a diet plan into a food delivery with one click will be a world first.
The subscription service, which will cost £12.99 a month, is the third to be launched by Tesco in as many months, following online DVD rentals, through Video Island, and legal services last month.

It happened at about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday. Police say the suspect walked down a few store aisles, took a soda and gave the cashier $5. But he then pulled out a knife and demanded cash. No one was hurt.
