Amegakure (雨隠れの里, Amegakure no Sato, Literally meaning: Village Hidden by Rain) is a small, yet highly industrialised hidden village located in an unnamed country. Its architecture is composed of several metallic skyscrapers with rowed ducts connected to them and many power lines surrounding. A number of smaller villages also surround Amegakure. As its name suggests, it rains almost constantly due to a storm above the village.
There are many ninja from this village who are skilled genjutsu users. It is a hidden village that one by one raises the ability of its shinobi, in turn working out original techniques. They also developed assassination techniques, getting numerous requests from foreign countries because of this.[1]
For many years, Amegakure was led by Hanzō; he led Amegakure's forces against Konohagakure during the Second Shinobi World War. Despite the fact that Hanzō had a huge presence on the battlefield, such that he slaughtered an entire Konoha platoon and allowed ninja as powerful as the young Sannin to live when they managed to hold their own against him, Amegakure lost the war. Amegakure's location between three of the Five Great Shinobi Countries has caused it to serve as a battleground during the various ninja wars, making most of its population war refugees. Amegakure has adopted a heavy isolationist policy because of this, leading to the village's defences to be abnormally impenetrable. To be admitted to the village, visitors, even those coming for Chūnin Exams held in Amegakure, must go through a number of security checks and are under constant surveillance during their stay. Even Hanzō, despite his strength was paranoid and constantly feared being assassinated and as such was rarely seen in public.
During the Third Shinobi World War, a group from Amegakure began advocating peace. When their group became large and popular enough, Hanzō saw this as a threat to his rule. He allied with Danzō Shimura of Konohagakure to have the Akatsuki eliminated. Hanzō lured them to an ambush by claiming to be interested in their ideas and Yahiko, the group's public leader was killed. Nagato tried to take revenge on Hanzō, but succeeded only in killing the other Amegakure ninja present as well as all of Danzō's Root personnel as Hanzō escaped the slaughter.
Nagato, adopting the alias of Pain, soon began a civil war within Amegakure. Forces loyal to his new ideas for the village wore an Amegakure headband with a horizontal slash through the middle, showing their rejection of the former Amegakure leadership and principles. Pain eventually single-handedly killed Hanzō as well as everyone even remotely affiliated with him. He similarly slaughters any remnants loyal to Hanzō that tried to sneak back into the village to assassinate him. Pain's effectiveness has caused the villagers of Amegakure to regard him as a god. The people of Amegakure began to refer to Pain as "Lord Pain", and to Konan who assisted Pain, as "Lady Angel".
During Nagato's reign, he used a technique that made it rain every Sunday or whenever he had to leave the village.[2] The special rain was connected to his senses, and allowed him to sense intruders who tried to enter the village, making infiltration impossible without being detected. After Nagato's death, Konan assumes the duties of Amegakure's leader and swears the village's allegiance to Naruto Uzumaki, but she falls in battle against Tobi, who came to retrieve Nagato's Rinnegan.
Knowledge of Amegakure's civil war was not common throughout the ninja world, and the fate of Hanzō himself was completely unknown to the point that other villages believed him to still be in charge. Because Pain uses the village as his base of operations for Akatsuki, Jiraiya was able to spread news of these developments during the course of his investigation into the organisation. Pain later went to Konohagakure to try to capture Naruto and the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox respectively, after killing Jiraiya. He effectively destroys the majority of Konoha's infrastructure and kills many of its citizens. Later, he is convinced by Naruto's determination and ideals so he decides to revive those who he recently killed using the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique. In this village it rains almost constantly except for when Pain would stop the rain. The only natural incidence of the rain ending was during Konan's fight with Tobi who had come to retrieve the Rinnegan. After Konan's death, however, it is unknown who leads the village.
- The name of the country Amegakure resides in is currently unknown, but because of the very rainy climate and its hidden village called the Hidden Rain, the country has been called the Land of Rain (雨の国, Ame no Kuni) by fans.
- Twenty-one genin from Amegakure participated in the Chūnin Exams, far more than the other minor villages.
- Many characters from Amegakure, such as Shigure and Aoi Rokushō, have been seen using umbrellas that have hidden weapon mechanisms in them. Also, many shinobi from this village wear simple rebreathers.

Abnormal Psychology focuses on the origins of abnormal behavior and its evolution into a scientific principle. The theoretical models of mental illness will be discussed along with the components of anxiety disorder, schizophrenia, and eating disorders. Lifespan development can contribute to the interpretation of abnormal behavior. Different concepts will be discussed relating to abnormal psychology including marriage, family, and religion. Abnormal behavior may be in existence since the beginning of mankind yet its study is barely over 100 years.

There have been some exciting new developments here in SGCC Land lately, and I'm thrilled to finally be able to tell you about them! I've held off until I knew that they were sure things, because…well…because, I don't like to count my chickens before they're hatched. I'd hate to make a big splashy announcement to you all and then have to take it back because things didn't work out as planned!

Coconut Macaroons, 5 Ways
By Ashley Beck | August 6, 2013
With all the French macaron hype, coconut macaroons (Congolais in France) have been left in their almond flour dust. However, these gooey, chewy, coconut-y treats are just as delectable and way easier to make. And just like their French buttercream-filled counterparts, they can be flavored anyway you like it. One of the many things my meins mideg (Armenian for grandmother) taught me was how to transform leftovers and not to waste what we have.
Her leftovers-in-a-cookie-or-boereg (traditionally a cheese and herb filled phyllo dough parcel) ideas don't always work, but when they do, they are magic. And like magic, it's impossible to figure out how it happened (because, of course, she can never remember what bits and pieces she put in it). This idea of resourcefulness is a practice instilled in her by her mother, as they, like many immigrant families, had to make use of every bit they bought. To me, her tendencies to continue to use this "waste not, want not" mentality is not only about being economical, it's about keeping the memories of her mother alive by making these thrifty ideas part of our family's traditions.

The Religion Of The Ignorant
Ignorantism That Opposes the True Religion
Asked "What is religion?" our Prophet (saas) replied, "It is the path you are on." His reply wisely summarizes the matter. Religion (deen) encapsulates all of a person's values, ethical rules and lifestyle—and thus, those of entire societies. For example, the word deen is employed in this sense in Surah Yusuf 76:
Various verses of the Qur'an also revealed that deniers also share a religion: Pharaoh, for example, told his people the following about the Prophet Moses (as):
Other verses describe how pagans remained loyal to their own false religions in the face of the Divine religion brought by the prophet:
As pointed out so far, every human being has a religion. Those who not adhere to the religion of Allah, and even those who describe themselves as atheists, are not totally devoid of religion, but merely adhere to superstitious ones. Some of these "religions" may not presently be described as such, though that is exactly what they all are—as is revealed in the Qur'an. Marxism, for instance, is in one sense a false religion, because that ideology is the "path" down which millions of people have gone. Marxists adopt the intellectual system developed by Karl Marx and Frederich Engels and accept their way of thinking. They analyze the world by means of the standards that they set out. They account for their own existence and the meaning of death based on the unscientific logic of Marx and Engels. In short, as believers in Marxism, they shape their lives and evaluate events accordingly.
Besides Marxism, there are hundreds of other different religions, philosophies, and intellectual systems. All these are superstitious religions, basically produced in order to turn people away from the path of Allah.
The point that really needs to be emphasized is that whatever their ideology, philosophy or world view, those who have turned their backs on the true religion still share one common false belief system: That is the "religion of the ignorant" that gives this book its name and whose outlines we have briefly sketched. It is also one of the most cunning and effective weapons wielded by satan in his endeavors to turn humans from the true path.

Hank Silverberg, wtop.com
SPRINGFIELD, Va. – A child pornography suspect was shot and killed by police Saturday night after evading officers and then threatening them with a sword.
Fairfax County police say the man had eluded them Friday night by using false identification, and then escaped after a brief foot chase.
Officers re-encountered the suspect Saturday night while searching an apartment in the 5700 block of Backlick Road because of a report of a wanted person in a bedroom.
Police say the suspect refused to comply and threatened officers with a sword. Police fired both less-lethal bean bag rounds and real bullets at the suspect. He was transported to a hospital where he died a short time later.
Police say the man, whose name is not being released, had seven outstanding warrants for child pornography, and sex with a minor as well as resisting arrest and identity theft.
The officer involved is on routine administrative leave while the case is investigated.

Auburn, AL (Sports Network) - The seventh-ranked Florida Gators continue their
quest for an SEC regular-season title, as they take on the Auburn Tigers in
league action at Auburn Arena on Saturday.
Billy Donovan's Gators have had a superior season both in and out of
conference. Florida comes into this contest with a stellar 20-3 record, which
includes a near flawless 10-1 mark in SEC play. The lone loss in-conference
came on the road at Arkansas on Feb. 5. The Gators have won two straight
games since then and really showed their dominance this week, with a 69-52
rout of defending national champion Kentucky.
Auburn has struggled this season at 9-15 overall. Wins have been even harder
to come by in-conference, with the Tigers sitting just outside the league
cellar at a mere 3-8. Auburn has dropped two straight and eight of its last
nine games, including an 83-75 setback against Arkansas on Wednesday.
This marks the only regular-season meeting scheduled between these two teams.
Florida trails the all-time series, but has closed the gap with wins in four
straight and 14 of the last 15 meetings, overall.
Stingy defensive play has been the driving force in Florida's run to the
conference crown. The Gators' gaudy +21.3 scoring margin is a direct result of
holding teams to a mere 52.7 ppg (fourth nationally), on just .372 shooting.
Florida also enjoys a +7.4 rebounding margin and is forcing almost 15
turnovers per game. Four of the team's five starters are averaging double
digits in scoring, led by Kenny Boynton's 12.9 ppg. Erik Murphy is a close
second at 12.8 ppg, followed by Mike Rosario and Patric Young, who tack on
12.5 and 10.8 ppg, respectively.
Florida snapped a five-game losing streak to Kentucky emphatically this week,
as the team reached the 20-win mark for the 15th straight season. UF shot a
solid 49 percent from the floor in the game, with five players notching double
figures in the balanced attack. Scottie Wilbekin led the charge with a game-
high 14 points. Young, Rosario and Casey Prather added 12 points each, while
Murphy finished with 10.
In a game that saw the momentum switch throughout the second half, Auburn came
out on the losing end against Arkansas, for the team's second consecutive
loss. Chris Denson led the way in defeat with 18 points. Frankie Sullivan
chipped in 11 points off the bench, but it wasn't enough to push the Tigers to
Offensive proficiency has not been an area of strength for Auburn this season,
as the Tigers are averaging a modest 66.9 ppg on a meager .415 shooting.
Sullivan came off the bench for the first time in the loss to the Razorbacks,
having been a mainstay in the starting lineup in the other 23 games this year.
He currently leads the team in scoring at 15.5 ppg, despite shooting well
under 40 percent from the floor (.377). Denson is currently the only other
Tiger in double figures at 12.2 ppg. Rob Chubb is just under that mark (9.1
ppg), but does lead the team on the boards (7.3 rpg).

- For the Law Agency in the HD Era, see FIB.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is an Agency in the 3D Era, and is based off the real-life FBI law enforcement agency.
GTA III — GTA Vice City Stories
The FBI is the third level of law enforcement that pursues the player. The FBI will appear only when the player's wanted level reaches five stars, before the Army on six stars.
FBI Agents wear blue jackets with "FBI" printed on the back in nearly all of the GTA III era games (excluding GTA III itself). In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories they wear black vests over grey t-shirts with "FBI" printed on the back with dark glasses. The FBI agents are well armed in all appearances, and their vehicles are generally extremely fast. The FBI comes with four agents in each car, and since they are well armed and very accurate, they will kill the player extremely quickly if they have an open range. They carry MP5s in all of the GTA III era games except for Grand Theft Auto III, where this weapon is unavailable, and instead they carry AK-47s and pistols (when killed).
In GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, their headquarters are located in Torrington, Staunton Island, Liberty City.
- In GTA III, the CIA Agents (guarding the Shoreside Lift Bridge in Marked Man) and Liberty City Port Authority officers (in the hangar from Grand Theft Aero) share the same character polygon as the FBI Agents. However, the CIA Agents wear all black, while the Port Authority have different caps.
- In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, some missions have FBI wielding Micro SMGs instead of SMGs. The same case is equivalent to the SWAT in missions wielding SMGs instead of Micro SMGs.
- The FBI Washington in GTA Vice City Stories is the only FBI vehicle in all of the GTA series to be colored white.
- The FBI in GTA Vice City Stories seem to be one of the most hostile in the GTA III era as their blockades will instantly blow up or heavily damage your car on sight. The best way to maneuver through a blockade is to get a bullet-proof car.
- In the GTA III 10th Anniversary Edition, the FBI agents have had the lettering changed from FBI to FIB. This does not apply to the name of the FBI Car, however.
- In GTA IV Era, Rockstar changed the name of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) into the Federal Investigation Bureau (FIB) for some reason.

Dr. Seuss, not-so-arguably one of the greatest children's authors of all time, would be 109 today. From Green Eggs and Ham to Horton Hears a Who!, his books educate and inspire children and adults alike. Here, a few things about the author that may surprise you.
1904: Theodor Seuss Geisel is born.
1925: At Dartmouth College, the humorous writer and poet penned the pseudonym "Seuss" after a drinking violation forbade him from writing for school publications. We can thank Prohibition for this one-of-a-kind byline.
1927: While studying at Oxford University, Seuss met and married his wife, Helen Palmer.
1937: After it was rejected 27 times, Seuss published his first children's book, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street.
1940: Before the U.S. entered WWII, Seuss worked as a cartoonist, drawing over 400 editorial cartoons for the left-wing PM Magazine.
1943: Seuss joined the U.S. Army Air Forces as a captain and wrote Our Job in Japan, a military training film that became the basis for the 1947 Oscar-winning documentary feature, Design for Death.
1954: Horton Hears a Who! – featuring Horton the elephant for the second time and The Whos for the first – was published. Seuss was ever-vocal in his efforts to educate children, and many of his books were allegories for his own political and social concerns. The Lorax speaks to pollution, The Sneetches to racism, and Horton Hears a Who! to American anti-isolationism during WWII.
1957: A turning point came in Seuss's career when he was asked to write a book in response to LIFE's criticism of children's poor reading levels. The result? The Cat in the Hat, which contains over 220 vocabulary words.
1966: How The Grinch Stole Christmas! was adapted into animated film.
1991: With 48 books in his repertoire and over 200 million copies sold, Seuss died at age 87. The New York Times called him the Modern Mother Goose.
Our Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss: Kids' Books, Art, & More Boutique opens Saturday, March 2, at 11AM ET.

We hear so much about the plight of Black children and their low test scores. We have not heard that African American children who are homeschooled are scoring at the 82 percent in reading and 77 percent in math. This is 30-40 percent above their counterparts being taught in school. There is a 30 percent racial gap in schools, but there is no racial gap in reading if taught in the home and only a five percent gap in math.

1. Shark Week is finally here
Discovery Channel's 27th annual Shark Week kicked-off last night with Air Jaws: Fins of Fury, the first of 13 new shows airing through Aug. 16, when it all wraps up with Sharksanity (10 p.m.). Shark Week is a big hit with viewers, but is it getting too sensational? George Burgess, director of the Florida Program for Shark Research in Gainesville, says the Shark Week frenzy is a double-edged sword. "I'm kind of disappointed, and I think most researchers are, too," Burgess said. "It obviously is a big draw, but I'm afraid that the programs have gone more to entertainment and less to documentary over the years."
2. Annual Perseids meteor shower peaks
Look up for shooting stars. The prolific Perseids meteor shower is peaking between Aug. 10 and Aug. 13. Last night, it competed for attention with the Supermoon. This year's show will be muted by the moon as it wanes, but some of the Perseids' brighter meteors should be visible. To find them, look in the constellation Perseus, which is just to the left of the Pleiades, the Seven Sisters constellation, in the northeastern portion of the sky.
3. Protesters hold rally for slain Missouri teen
A St. Louis suburb erupted in violence Sunday night after a candlelight vigil mourning the fatal shooting Saturday of a black teenager by a Ferguson police officer. Several stores were looted and vehicles vandalized as protesters clashed with police. Police say Michael Brown, 18, was shot after he physically assaulted a police officer and struggled to grab the officer's weapon. Police confirmed Brown was unarmed at the time of the shooting. The St. Louis County NAACP said it has launched an investigation and asked the FBI to intervene. Another protest is planned to begin Monday morning.

The military says no rockets were fired Monday at Israel and that the military hasn't targeted any locations in the densely populated territory since the cease-fire went into effect on midnight Sunday.
5. Al-Maliki to file legal complaint against Iraqi president
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, in a surprise televised speech, said he will file a legal complaint Monday against the new president, Fouad Massoum, for committing "a clear constitutional violation." Al-Maliki, whose Shiite-dominated bloc won the most seats in April elections, accused Massoum of neglecting to name a prime minister from the country's largest parliamentary faction by Sunday's deadline. Al-Maliki is seeking a third term.

According to a USA Today report, the Transportation Department plans to close air-traffic control towers at 100 airports that have 150,000 flights or fewer each year, if automatic spending cuts go into effect as scheduled March 1. Five North Carolina airports are on the list for possible tower shut downs. Decisions on which ones will be closed will come out of meetings the FAA has with air-traffic controllers and airlines.
Five North Carolina airports, including 2 in eastern NC, are on the list of 200 airports from which the department says it will select 100 whose towers will be closed by April 1. These are the North Carolina airports on the list.
EWN Coastal Carolina Regional New Bern, N.C.
HKY Hickory Regional Hickory, N.C.
INT Smith Reynolds Winston Salem, N.C.
ISO Kinston Regional Jetport at Stallings Field Kinston, N.C.
JQF Concord Regional Concord, N.C.
The FAA would see $600 million slashed from its budget. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood warned Friday of massive delays in flights.
"Flights to major cities like NY, Chicago, San Francisco and others could experience delays of up to 90 minutes," said LaHood.
So, what does this mean for you? If you have fewer people in air traffic control towers they can't keep up the same pace of takeoffs or landings. That means delays or fewer flights and fewer flights could mean higher ticket prices.
A representative for air traffic controllers, Spencer Dickerson with the U.S. Contract Tower Association, worries about the safety impact.
"It's hard to see how that's not going to impact safety in terms of the efficiency and safety of the system. So we're very concerned on how that's going to play out," said Dickerson Friday.
The transportation department insists these cuts will not impact safety, after the furloughs kick-in around April 1st.

Physician and medical assisting is a key element of the evolving health care system. Physician and medical assistants lighten the load of the managing physician, act as the physician's eyes and ears for at least the initial visit and help keep costs down for not only patients but insurance companies. With the aging population and the sheer increase in patient numbers, the demand for physician and medical assistants will continue to grow. The difference between working in physician and medical assisting is that the medical assistant is responsible for clerical and clinical duties. The physician assistant, on the other hand, not only manages medical assistants but can write prescriptions, make diagnoses, record medical histories, read x-rays and examine patients.
Studying Physician and Medical Assisting
To earn a degree and work in physician and medical assisting, two years of schooling is generally required plus hands-on experience in a health care environment. Accredited programs are generally associated with medical schools. Most physician and medical assisting students have a bachelor's degree and some programs require it. Prerequisites such as math, biology, psychology, English and chemistry should be taken before applying to any physician and medical assisting program. A typical physician and medical assisting program consists of courses in pharmacology, medical ethics, human anatomy, geriatrics and disease prevention. There is also a clinical element in which the student works under supervision in areas such as emergency medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology.
Working in Physician and Medical Assisting
It is not possible to work as a physician assistant or medical assistant unless you pass the Physician Assistants National Certifying Examination and graduate from an accredited program. Just as doctors can specialize in a preferred area of medicine, so can physician and medical assistants. Some specialty areas include internal medicine, pediatrics, emergency medicine and surgery. Physician and medical assistants often work in hospitals, offices, medical facilities and public clinics.
Online Continuing Education in Physician and Medical Assisting
While there aren't accredited programs online for physician and medical assistants, there are online programs for degree completion and continuing education once certification has been achieved. Many working in physician and medical assisting will complete master's degrees online and further specialize in such areas as public health or administration. Many universities offer online and distance learning programs for these purposes.

As example, do you know if say the Phil. 76'ers games (does CSN Philly have their rights?) are blacked out on LP provided by DIRECTV there?
In Philly, CSN has rights to everything except the Eagles. The only time D* subscribers would get to see the Sixers, Flyers, Phillies, or Union is when they are on network TV or if they actually go to the game.
To answer your question, season packages are for out of market games. For example, you could watch the Knicks play the Celtics but you couldn't watch the Lakers or Clippers play anyone unless they are on national TV like ABC, TNT, ESPN et. al.

How to guides
How to prepare your walls for decorating
Walls almost always need some surface preparation before you can start painting. Even brand-new plaster needs sealing. You should fill any cracks and holes and make sure all surfaces are clean, smooth and dry. You can paint over emulsion-painted surfaces that are in good condition, but make certain you strip back or sand off any peeling paint.
Buying guides
Primers buying guide
If you're painting on bare wood, plaster or metal surfaces, you'll get a better result if you use a primer first. It provides a surface which the paint can bond to and stops the paint being absorbed. Find out more what you need and for what surface.
The perfect match - paint mixing
Finding the right combination of colours to match your home and personal taste is essential, but it can often feel like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Council holds hearing on shopping center with Publix across from Trinity Catholic
Published: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 6:37 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 6:37 p.m.
The Ocala City Council on Tuesday conducted the first of two public hearings to amend the developer's agreement for Grand Oaks Town Center, a project that includes a Publix grocery store across from Trinity Catholic High School on the former Stolen Hours Farm in southwest Ocala.
The plan's first phase calls for developing 84,000 square feet of commercial space, including a Publix and three standalone stores. Phase 2 includes 474 apartments on nearly 54 acres. Phase 3 includes 3.5 acres of office space.
The 71.47-acre site at the northeast corner of Southwest 27th Avenue and Southwest 42nd Street is being developed by Benjamin Leon of Leon Ocala Holdings III LLC.
The second public hearing will be held April 2 at 4 p.m. in council chambers on the second floor of City Hall, 110 SE Watula Ave.

The Western Company Mallard is a fixed-wing aircraft in Grand Theft Auto V. It is also a monoplane driven by a single propeller engine.
- "The ultimate kid's toy with adult consequences, this aerobatic stunt plane offers unparalleled handling and performance for the budding free-style [sic] pilot. Nothing gets her hot like seeing you do 5G barrel rolls until you nearly black out. From slow roll into slow clap into hammerhead into scream for daddy, this is perfect for the kind of rich showoff who wants to prove he's still got all the moves. No room for passengers, it's just you and your mortality battling it out up there."
- ―Elitás Travel webpage
The Mallard may be inspired by the Zivko Edge 540, or Extra 300S, with some similarity to the same Pitt's Special S1 based Stuntplane from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas but with a longer wingspan, taking the form of a small, mid-wing aircraft instead of a biplane. Like its predecessor, the Mallard is a relatively slow, yet very agile aircraft. The Collector's and Special Edition versions of the game include time trials, in which the player must follow a set of checkpoints in the quickest time.
- The Mallard features in a number of the Flight School challenges.
- The Mallard is GTA V-substitute to the Stuntplane in GTA: San Andreas, as both are light and agile aircrafts built for aerobatic flying.
- A Mallard is a species of duck that inhabits parts of North America and Europe.
- Can be bought for $250,000 from elitastravel.com.
- Can occassionally be found flying into Sandy Shores Airfield.
