- "I tried telling your brother, he's marching the wrong way. All these swords, they should be going north, boy, not south. The cold winds are rising."
- ―Osha to Bran Stark
Osha is a recurring character in the first, second and third seasons. She is played by guest star Natalia Tena and debuts in "A Golden Crown." Osha is a woman of the Free Folk, now in service to House Stark of Winterfell. Osha is currently escorting Rickon Stark to Last Hearth to seek refuge with House Umber.
Osha is a wildling spearwife, one of the "Free Folk" who live north of the Wall. Like other wildlings, she worships the Old Gods of the Forest.[1] Due to the rising threat of the White Walkers and their undead wights, Osha fled south of the Wall with a group of other wildlings, hoping to go "as far south as south goes".[2] They bypassed the wall by taking a boat across the Bay of Seals, to the east of the Wall.[3]
Season 1
Osha joins Stiv and Wallen to form a band of wildlings. They flee south and abandon their service to Mance Rayder. They cross the Wall and travel into the Wolfswood north of Winterfell. They chance upon Bran Stark and try to steal his horse. Robb Stark intervenes, killing Wallen and disabling Osha. Stiv holds Bran at knifepoint, but is shot in the back by Theon Greyjoy. Osha surrenders to Robb and is taken to Winterfell.[4]
Osha is put to work as a servant. Theon is irritated when she refuses to call him "My lord," especially when she correctly points out that his father is still alive so he is not entitled to the honorific title yet. Maester Luwin sends Theon away and asks Osha why she was south of the Wall. She replies that there were things sleeping under the ice which are not sleeping any more. Luwin is skeptical of her claims.[5]
Osha goes to Winterfell's godswood to pray to the Old Gods of the Forest, and finds Bran there. She tells him that north of the Wall, the old gods are the only gods. She also says that Robb is leading his army in the wrong direction. The true enemy lies to the north, beyond the Wall, not the south. When Hodor passes by naked, Osha remarks he must have giants' blood in him, and tells Bran that giants - and worse - exist north of the Wall.[6]
Bran dreams that he saw his father Ned in the catacombs of Winterfell. Osha carries Bran into the tombs to check. Once inside they are surprised by Shaggydog and find Rickon there too: he has had the same dream. When they emerge from the tomb Luwin tells the boys that their father has been killed.[7]
Season 2
- Main: Osha Season 2
Osha continues to discuss Bran Stark's strange dreams with him. He denies having had any more but nevertheless insists on being taken to the pool in the Godswood. She correctly predicts that the Red Comet signifies the return of Dragons to the world.[8] Bran tells Osha that he has dreamt of a Three-eyed raven but she offers no explanation. He also confides a dream about the sea coming to Winterfell and drowning Ser Rodrik Cassel. Ser Rodrik leaves Winterfell to relieve a siege of nearby Torrhen's Square by unknown forces.[9]
The siege was a feint orchestrated by Theon Greyjoy to draw away Winterfell's defenders. Theon infiltrates and seizes the castle forcing Bran to surrender to him. Osha offers to fight for Theon but he refuses, suspecting treachery. Ser Rodrik is captured and then executed by Theon. Osha tells Bran that his dream has come true.
She seduces Theon, claiming that she wants her freedom. While he sleeps she frees Bran and Rickon and escapes with them. She murders the guard Drennan as they make their exit.[10] They walk to a shepherd's farm in the Stark lands. They consider approaching the farmer for food. Theon tracks them to the farm using hounds and then loses their scent. He returns to Winterfell with the charred corpses of two boys, claiming they are Bran and Rickon. He makes no mention of Osha and Hodor.[11] The escapees actually doubled back, using a stream to mask their scent and are hiding under Theon's nose in the crypts of Winterfell. Luwin spots Osha smuggling bread into the catacombs and follows her. She explains their escape and Luwin tells her that the bodies must be the farmhands. She promises not to tell the boys, agreeing that they have suffered enough.[12]
Before escaping with Bran, Rickon and Hodor she uses a dagger upon the request of a dying Luwin to give him the gift of mercy. Luwin instructs Osha to escort Bran and Rickon to the Wall so that they can find their half-brother, Jon Snow. Osha agrees and leaves Winterfell with Hodor, Bran, Rickon and their direwolves.[13]
Season 3
Fleeing from Winterfell, Bran's group are encountered by Jojen and Meera Reed. Jojen approaches their camp unarmed but Osha sneaks up on him with a sharpened stake - only to realize that Meera snuck up behind her, and held a knife to her throat. Bran insists that everyone calm down. Jojen claims that he received greensight visions which told him where to find Bran, and that he would need their help. The group continues to head north to Castle Black, as Maestr Luwin instructed, hopefully to find Jon Snow.[14]
Fueled by the long animosity of the Northerners and Free Folk towards each other, Osha and Meera get into an argument about which of them can skin a rabbit better, which turns to who is doing the hunting, to arguing about who trusts who. Bran again tells them to make peace. Jojen then starts shaking violently in his sleep, and Meera holds down his tongue with a cord so he doesn't bite himself. She explains that the visions take their toll. Osha dislikes this, thinking it is black magic. On waking, Jojen says that he saw Jon Snow - and that he isn't at Castle Black, but on the north side of the Wall, and surrounded by enemies.[15]
Osha's pent-up frustration comes to a head, and she says she doesn't want Jojen influencing Bran with black magic anymore. Bran explains that because Jojen's vision said Jon Snow isn't even at Castle Black, they shouldn't head there anymore. Instead, Bran and Jojen believe that the Three-eyed raven in his dreams is leading him Beyond the Wall, so they should head directly north to the structure, instead of turning to head to Castle Black. Bran says that he believes that maybe the gods meant for him to find the three-eyed raven, meant for him to have these visions, and ultimately, his fall from the tower that crippled him happened for a reason. Osha is outraged and says she will never go back north of he Wall again.[16]
Osha then explains to them the reason she fled south of the Wall. She once had a husband named Bruni, a good man who loved her. One day he disappeared, and everyone said he'd simply left her, but she knew him better than that. One night he did return to their hut - as an undead wight, with skin pale as a dead man's and his eyes bluer than clear sky. Brune began to strangle her to death. Somehow she managed to get hold of a knife, and rammed it deep into his heart, but he didn't even seem to notice. Osha ultimately managed to get away by burning down their hut with Brune inside it. She didn't ask the gods for that, she says, but their message was clear: north of the Wall is no place for living men to be anymore.[17]

In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels Osha, is a capable spearwife and raider who becomes a servant of the Starks at Winterfell. She is tall and lean with shaggy brown hair, and significantly older than how she is portrayed in the TV series.
In the novels, Osha never had sex with Theon. After he conquered Winterfell, she requested to serve him as fighter, and he agreed on condition that she bent her knee and swore an oath to him. Osha did as he demanded, but it was only pretense.
There is no mentioning in the novels of any husband or other relatives of Osha.
She is described as strong, being able to lift Bran with ease. She is also somewhat informal, dubbing Theon "that squiddy prince" behind his back.
"Osha" is pronounced "oh-shuh", not "ah-shuh", "osh-uh", "ahsh-uh", etc.

Great stuff. Like the way the text looks raised on the land. I have added this into the overall map pic.
Ok so I get my territory and see that it's right next to a patch of some of the biggest mountains on the entire planet so of course I immediately think dwarves. I read all of or most of what was up on wiki and I don't think there are any other dwarf societies out there, cept for a minor mention in the Beastlands.
So dwarves it is. I started creating my map and wanted it to be along the same lines as Thrubmorton Fens, but I lack not only the software but the skill; I hate you redrobes, by the way . Anywho I started thinking how a dwarf would make a map and lacking any more imaginative thoughts I decide to try to create a map chisled from rock.
So here it is, I hope it lives up to the standards that have been set down so far. I am creating a history for the website so the map needs some labeling.
Let me know what ya think and/or how I can improve it, or if ya think I should scrap it all together...
There is some overlap, so if my neighbors have and issue let me know.
Great stuff. Like the way the text looks raised on the land. I have added this into the overall map pic.

Thanks for the comments guys.
I uploaded some history to the wiki, plz let me know if it steps on any toes. I am not very good at wiki so I don't know if I did it right.
Let me know.
Looks great Bohunk. Completely cool and different style which just hints at isometric but isn't if you know what I mean. I'll have a look at the stuff on the wiki but I'm sure the editing types will get there before me.
Thanks for great work.

Updated map. I think its done unless I think of something else in the history I am currently working on.
So I was making a detail B&W of this area when it struck me that Thaydor is sitting on the artic circle, (at least close to what would be the artic circle if this was earth). So I was wondering about a couple of things:
1. The river that flows north out of the map was FT generated, would that freeze and if it would, for how long?
2. How populated would the valley above the mountains be, and judging by how many small kingdoms or clan areas I currently have, and more to come in the west, would or could the area just south of the artic sustain that many people, I am guessing close to one million? Not really worried about the dwarves who I guess would be use to cold living in or under the mountains.
3. Although this is the valley between both sets of mountains, I imagine that its altitude is still high, would that be correct or can we believe that it is close to sea level?
Although it is a fantasy world, I would like this to be as realistic as possible, and if the area is too bleak to carry at least one million humans maybe an alturnative can be found that would give this area some population besides the claw-people(monsters) I have in the extreme north. i know, I know, realistic and claw-people dont go hand in hand but....

Baylor stayed with WVU step for step
MORGANTOWN - Go ahead.
Heap the deserved praise on West Virginia's offense after the Mountaineers' 70-63 basketball-score-like Big 12 football opening victory over Baylor on Saturday.
Just don't ignore the performance of WVU's visitors.
Sure, West Virginia's Geno Smith is receiving the lion's share of the postgame publicity of the shootout, but Bears QB Nick Florence and his cast were spectacular as well. Florence finished 29-of-47 passing with five touchdowns and one interception. Receiver Terrance Williams had an amazing 17 catches for 314 yards and a pair of scores. Tevin Reese added 120 yards receiving.
"We expect to score that way and score more," Florence said afterward. "[West Virginia] had a great scheme though and scored more."
"The game was going back and forth," Williams said. "But the game slowed down for us when we were down 21. It was a crazy game."
It was a crazy game that ultimately went to the Mountaineers, primarily because of Smith. Baylor's players, who watched teammate Robert Griffin III win a Heisman Trophy last season, were complimentary of WVU's candidate. Williams, for instance, was asked if Smith looked like a potential award winner.
"Today he did," said the 6-foot-2, senior receiver. "He played a great game, a dang-near perfect game."
"[Smith] threw the ball on the money," added Baylor linebacker Eddie Lackey. "When we made a mistake, he capitalized."
Williams said Florence did the same against WVU.
"Nick played great," said the receiver. "They might have a Heisman [candidate], but [Florence] stuck with us when we were down. I'll take him over anyone in the country."
Florence said Puskar Stadium was a "fun place to play."
"We fed off the crowd a little," he said. "It was a fun atmosphere."
Lackey called the atmosphere of 60,012 "crazy" and "humongous."
In the end, though, the Bears wanted to win what proved to be a special game.
"It's hard to enjoy when you play like that and still don't win," Reese said.
"All I wanted to do was win," Florence said. "If we would have won, it would have felt more special."

Comments On Jun 13, 2013:I follow the instructions for this oil and have no problems with it running or how sticky it is. I only put it on dry filters and give them time for the oil to set up once it's applied. If you only have one filter for your bike go buy another one, you can always have one ready to go. Your life will be much easier, and your top end will be happy happy happy.

Comments On Jan 19, 2011:Anyone who rates this bad doesn't know how to put it on..
the way i do it?
pour it into a spray bottle(old windex, 409) spray it onto the filter and then wring it out, but not hard enough to squeeze out the oil. This way the oil just starts to almost drip out, but then when you let go it soaks it all back up evenly.
Luckily for everyone who hates going to the autozone to discard your oil.. YOU CAN DUMP IT IN THE GRASS!
need i say more?

Comments On Apr 22, 2009:I bought this to try and it took me a full can of filter oil to get the filter even remotely close to being covered. I ended up cleaning it off with Maxima Filter Cleaner and then applied another filter oil (also spray can). It covered the filter quickly and I hardly used any. This stuff, what a waste of $$$

Coast regional commissioner Mwantumu Mahiza has called on development partners to provide tractors to Pwani Youth Centres of Execellence (PYCE) to enable 38 groups to cultivate large-scale farms in an effort to curb unemployment and poverty.
The call to this end was made recently at a short function during which the National Microfinance Bank (NMB) handed over a check worth 11.4m/- to PYCE groups.
The funds were meant for buying various equipments, including wheel barrows, buckets, spades and pipes, which could be used at the sites of building projects given by the district councils in the region.
Each group would receive 300,000/- as capital. The youths, totaling 350, received the funds after attending one-month training on making bricks of soil cement and building modern houses at low cost that was held from February 1 to March 3, this year at Msoga village in Bagamoyo district.
The youths came from five districts in the region, which are Bagamoyo, Kibaha, Kisarawe, Rufiji and Mkuranga and Kibaha.
"I should thank you for your assistance. The funds would be used for buying equipment…But I request you to bring a new tractor and you will see how the youths would use it. This is to all other interested organisations, let them bring us tractors, we have enough land for cultivation," she said.
Mahiza said that the region had a number of jobless youths and that such an offer would help them to do solve the problem of unemployment and poverty. The RC said that 47.19 per cent of the regional population was made up of youths, most of them unemployed and poor.
She said that 19.01 per cent out of the total youth percentage were educated and had no problem of unemployment because the government had already given them jobs in various sectors.
The rest 28.18 out of the total percentage had secondary and primary education, as a result were lacking employment in the region. The Regional Commissioner said that she would focus on youths in primary and secondary schools.
"Poverty is not disability; let us tackle the problem to the end, until when they [youths] are safe. We have every resource, including fertile land, why should they suffer from poverty and unemployment? Let us support them," she said.
The RC told the 72 youths, who represented their colleagues during the function that the government had already released 100 bags of cement to each group and that each one could be allowed to collect the consignment after securing a project.

The Sioux City Police Department arrested 22 year-old VASEAN RUSSELL MARKWORTH, Sioux City, for two counts of Robbery and one count of False Imprisonment for two incidents in which he used force or the threat of force to take people's money or belongings.
Markworth was identified as the suspect in a strong-arm robbery that occurred at 26th & Pierce St on March 30, 2014 at about 7:35 pm in which he used the threat of force to take money and belongings from two 15 year-old males.
On Aril 16, 2014 Markworth committed a strong-arm robbery in the 2400 block of Pierce St at just before 2:20 am.
Markworth attacked a 28 year-old female that was locking up a business after cleaning it. Markworth demanded her cash and debit card.
Markworth forced the female into her car and drove her to a bank in the 2900 block of Hamilton Blvd where she ran out of the car to a nearby business for help. He then fled on foot and was not located at that time. The female was treated and released from a local hospital for minor injuries as a result of the assault.
On April 17, 2014 at about 6:00 am, officers located Markworth in about the 3000 block of Hamilton Blvd and brought him to the station for questioning. Victims from the two robberies identified Markworth as the suspect in both incidents and it appears he acted alone.
Markworth was arrested and booked into the Woodbury County Jail.

A storm system in the Northern Plains pushed eastward and headed into the Upper Midwest on Monday, while an associated front reached from the Upper Midwest through the Southern Plains later in the day.
Energy from this system and cold temperatures in the north supported more snow shower development and strong northwest winds in parts of the Northern Rockies and the Northern and Central Plains through the Upper Great Lakes as the system shifted eastward.
Northwest winds gusting to 45 mph allowed for periods of blowing snow and ultimately reduced visibilities through the morning and afternoon. Localized blizzard conditions were possible in northeastern North Dakota at times as strong winds produced near white out conditions. Snowfall accumulations of up to 7 inches were anticipated from the Dakotas into Minnesota on Monday.
Meanwhile, to the South, ample moisture from the Gulf of Mexico streamed northward across the western and central Gulf Coasts, allowing showers to develop ahead of the aforementioned front in eastern Texas and the Lower Mississippi Valley.
This activity was expected to spread northward through the Ohio Valley and into the lower tier of the Upper Great Lakes. Due to the fast moving nature of this storm, rainfall amounts across the area were only expected to reach up to an inch in most locations. In addition to showera, isolated thunderstorms were also possible in parts of southern Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas.
Out West, a Pacific frontal system approached the Pacific Northwest and Northern California with rain showers and high elevation snow.

O período para Fazendo Gênero 10 está encerrado.
The International SeminarFazendo Gênero 10 - Desafios Atuais dos Feminismo (Doing Gender 10 - Current Challenges of Feminisms) will be held in Florianopolis, Santa Catarina, from September 16 to 20, 2013. The event is organized by the Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas and the Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, and supported by other schools of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), in partnership with the Centro de Ciências Humanas e Educação of the State University of Santa Catarina (UDESC).
Fazendo Gênero 10 (Doing Gender 10) seeks to: favor the articulation of gender studies with approaches involving other categories of analysis such as class, race, ethnicity, and generations; create spaces for dialogue and exchange of experiences among researchers, teachers and people involved in social movements; encourage the participation of undergraduate and postgraduate students in the field of feminist studies and gender, providing a more qualified training in the area; and produce knowledge that could result in articles to be published in books and periodicals about the theme.
The general conception of the event arises from the consideration that, despite the many advances made by the numerous struggles waged by women, many obstacles still remain, some reconfigured, others recently emerging, thus requiring a debate on the Current Challenges of Feminisms. Such challenges include, among others, the little participation of women in positions of political power; gender inequalities in the work environment and income distribution; the difficulties faced in the struggle for abortion rights; domestic and institutional gender violence; the critical situation of women, especially the low-income ones, in post-colonial and trans-modern contexts; health inequities; the backlash in the struggle for LGBT rights and in the effects of the intersections of gender, class, generation and race / ethnicity; gender imbalance in the production of scientific knowledge; the significant inclusion of women in contemporary mobility, and many others.

- The late mining magnate, Lang Hancock, used to tell a story about Rupert Murdoch. It was about the time Murdoch was considering breaking into the mining industry in Western Australia and wanted a slice of the Pilbara. So he held a meeting with the then-premier Charles Court. According to Hancock, Murdoch turned up on his doorstep late one night to report that the meeting had gone very well. Murdoch explained how he'd convinced Court to give him what he wanted. He said it was easy. He just asked Court a simple question: 'Look you can have a headline a day or a bucket of shit every day. What's it to be?' Whether apocryphal or not, this anecdote seems eerily familiar, watching some of the recent behaviour of the editor in chief of Murdoch's Australian newspaper, Chris Mitchell. Mitchell has shown that he is also willing to harness News Limited's media assets to get his way.

(epoetin alfa) For Injection
WARNINGS: INCREASED MORTALITY, SERIOUS CARDIOVASCULAR EVENTS, THROMBOEMBOLIC EVENTS, STROKE and INCREASED RISK OF TUMOR PROGRESSION OR RECURRENCE
Chronic Renal Failure:
- In clinical studies, patients experienced greater risks for death, serious cardiovascular events, and stroke when administered erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) to target hemoglobin levels of 13 g/dL and above.
- Individualize dosing to achieve and maintain hemoglobin levels within the range of 10 to 12 g/dL.
- ESAs shortened overall survival and/or increased the risk of tumor progression or recurrence in some clinical studies in patients with breast, non-small cell lung, head and neck, lymphoid, and cervical cancers (see WARNINGS: Table 1).
- To decrease these risks, as well as the risk of serious cardio- and thrombovascular events, use the lowest dose needed to avoid red blood cell transfusion.
- Because of these risks, prescribers and hospitals must enroll in and comply with the ESA APPRISE Oncology Program to prescribe and/or dispense PROCRIT® (epoetin alfa) to patients with cancer. To enroll in the ESA APPRISE Oncology Program, visit www.esa-apprise.com or call 1-866-284-8089 for further assistance.
- Use ESAs only for treatment of anemia due to concomitant myelosuppressive chemotherapy.
- ESAs are not indicated for patients receiving myelosuppressive therapy when the anticipated outcome is cure.
- Discontinue following the completion of a chemotherapy course.
Perisurgery: PROCRIT® (epoetin alfa) increased the rate of deep venous thromboses in patients not receiving prophylactic anticoagulation. Consider deep venous thrombosis prophylaxis.
(See WARNINGS: Increased Mortality, Serious Cardiovascular Events, Thromboembolic Events, and Stroke, WARNINGS: Increased Mortality and/or Increased Risk of Tumor Progression or Recurrence, INDICATIONS AND USAGE, and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION.)
Erythropoietin is a glycoprotein which stimulates red blood cell production. It is produced in the kidney and stimulates the division and differentiation of committed erythroid progenitors in the bone marrow. PROCRIT® (epoetin alfa) (Epoetin alfa), a 165 amino acid glycoprotein manufactured by recombinant DNA technology, has the same biological effects as endogenous erythropoietin.1 It has a molecular weight of 30,400 daltons and is produced by mammalian cells into which the human erythropoietin gene has been introduced. The product contains the identical amino acid sequence of isolated natural erythropoietin.
PROCRIT® (epoetin alfa) is formulated as a sterile, colorless liquid in an isotonic sodium chloride/sodium citrate buffered solution or a sodium chloride/sodium phosphate buffered solution for intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SC) administration.

Instead, all that's required is The Hunt and a healthy dose of stealth. Using the app, simply snap a quick photo of the fashionably gifted guy or girl (taking care to not include his or her face) and then share it with fellow users who, with their own fashion savviness, can help identify the items. Consider it crowdsourcing couture.

|Team Info
Taka, originally Hebi, was a team created by Sasuke Uchiha with the original goal of helping him locate Itachi, and prevent anyone from interrupting his battle.
After betraying Orochimaru, Sasuke travelled to various Otogakure bases to recruit his three team-mates, Suigetsu Hōzuki, Karin, and Jūgo. After witnessing Itachi's death, and learning Konoha's role in the Uchiha clan massacre from Tobi, Sasuke renamed the team "Taka" with the new goal to crush Konoha.
Although their team was originally one of necessity, they all came to respect each other as team-mates and even risked their lives to protect one another as time went on, reminding Sasuke of Team 7. However, as Sasuke became more corrupt and focused in his revenge against Konoha, he abandoned Jūgo and Suigetsu in the Land of Iron to pursue Danzō, and, when Karin became a burden to him, he critically wounded her, and also tried to kill her to avoid any trouble with her — but she was saved by Sakura and Kakashi, and taken back to Konoha. Currently, while Karin states that she has finished with Sasuke and tries to escape from the Konoha prison, Jūgo and Suigetsu, not knowing what Sasuke did and tried to do to Karin, reunited with Sasuke and have since continued to assist him.
Sasuke was initially driven by the desire to avenge his clan by killing his brother, and after learning the truth about his brother, avenging him by destroying Konohagakure. Suigetsu, Karin and Jūgo are not exactly fond of one another nor do they really enjoy each other's company. Each of them indicates having their own motive for joining the team upon its formation:[1]
- Suigetsu: Initially joined Taka in order to encounter Kisame Hoshigaki and take Samehada. His complete goal was revealed to be taking possession of all the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist's swords and reforming the organisation.
- Karin: Originally claimed to just be going in the same direction, although she was actually motivated by her infatuation with Sasuke.
- Jūgo: Considers Sasuke to be the only successor to Kimimaro, who was the only other person capable of calming his murderous impulse.
The name "Hawk" likely derives from the Japanese proverb "a hawk born from a kite" (鳶が鷹を生む, tobi ga taka o umu). It normally means that an extraordinarily gifted child can be born from ordinary parents. However, here it gains an extra meaning, since Tobi (whose name can be translated to kite (鳶)) was responsible for the reformation of Hebi into Taka.
- Status: Failure
Upon joining forces with Akatsuki, Taka was assigned to capture the Eight-Tails' jinchūriki. After confronting and seemingly defeating Killer B, Taka took him and gave to Tobi, but during the sealing, it was revealed that Killer B faked his capture.
- Three of the group members' eye colour matches with their hair colour: Sasuke Uchiha (black), Karin (red) and Jūgo (orange).
- And the fourth member, Suigetsu Hōzuki, while not having eyes that match his hair, has an eye colour that matches the shirt he commonly wears (purple).
- All of the members of Taka, when recruited by Sasuke, had an additional side story that only appeared in the anime. Through these, their abilities were shown earlier than in the manga.
- Suigetsu had to retrieve his sword from Tenzen Daikoku. His Hydrification Technique was shown.
- Karin had a flashback of her helping Sasuke retrieve a group of escaped prisoners. Her Mind's Eye of the Kagura technique was shown.
- Jūgo had a flashback of being recruited by Kimimaro to join Orochimaru. His Sage Transformation ability was briefly shown.

The electric vehicle: a not-yet-ready-for-prime-time player?
Back in early September, I talked about vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, and turning batteries into generators, with Dr. Michael Kintner-Meyer, an electrical power systems integration engineer with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
He raised a question in my mind that, in the ensuing months, hasn't been fully resolved for me: will we earn enough by selling our electric vehicles' extra power back to the utility to cover the cost of replacing that battery prematurely? Or is there a better way to go about the whole electric vehicle/balancing load/distributed generation roadmap?
The Green Car Congress (GCC) recently published research from the Carnegie Mellon Electricity Industry Center which takes steps to chip away at the question. Researchers there concluded that a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) pack made up of lithium iron phosphate cells "would incur little capacity loss from combining vehicle-to-grid activities with regular driving." In fact, the GCC went on to note, "Statistical analyses indicated that rapid battery cycling incurred when driving degraded the cells more than slower, vehicle-to-grid galvanostatic cycling."
"However," the GCC article went on to note—and this is a big "however" in the consumer equation, in my opinion—"in a companion paper assessing the economics of V2G for consumers, [the study's authors] also concluded that the maximum annual profit for a PHEV owner to engage in V2G (~$10-$120) would likely prove insufficient to encourage use of the battery pack for grid electricity storage and later off-vehicle use."
This kind of minimal expected profit isn't exactly the carrot needed to entice consumers to share their battery power. Add to that another question: will using an electric car's approximately $8,000 battery for V2G void its warranty? How's this being addressed?
And then, there's the issue of how green electric vehicles really will be, in the general scheme of things. Houston mayor Bill White, a long-time advocate of making the grid more reliable, was in the news over the weekend, pointing out the hypocrisy of a blanket assumption that electric vehicles will green the grid. While he supports electric vehicles, White told the Dallas Morning News: "If they say there's no emissions, they just don't know where the power comes from."
In states using primarily coal-fired electricity, the change the electric vehicle brings to the equation is a lot more complicated, with the end solution to the carbon-use equation a bit more muted. While electric vehicles cut carbon dioxide emissions considerably when compared with cars fueled by gasoline, in carbon-fired states like Texas, which gets about 37 percent of its electricity from coal, they'll still be creating nitrogen oxides in their fueling.
And if that's not enough to get the questions spinning, consider the following: According to the same Dallas Morning News article, while charging an electric vehicle in the state of Texas would create about half as much carbon dioxide as a gasoline vehicle, data from the Environmental Agency on Texas power plant emissions in 2008 indicate an electric vehicle "would be responsible for slightly more nitrogen oxides than a brand-new gasoline car."
Just to muddy the playing field a bit more, let's consider the type of energy used to manufacture the steel, the plastic, the polycarbonates, and even the battery pack for these new electric vehicles. Yes, it's on par with the type of energy used to manufacture a gasoline-fired car. But that means there are no carbon savings there, either.
And then there's the massive increase in demand for lithium ion batteries, and the issue of their eventual disposal. Do we have either of these issues in hand yet?
As with other areas in the emerging smart grid, the technology itself is there, or nearly there. But is the infrastructure, the electricity superhighway we're creating here, ready to deal with all of the technology being put on the on-ramps? Are we really ready for prime time yet?
I look forward to discussing this and other issues with all the players in the emerging intelligent utility. If you have a story to tell me, or thoughts you'd like to share, please contact me by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or by telephone at 720-331-3555.
Electric Vehicles
The solution to emissions linked to electric vehicles is to market these vehicles only in jurisdictions that predominantly run non-fossil fuel electricity generation at the margin during off-peak times when most of these vehicles will be charged.

- Title
- A cost-effective thickness measurement technique for engine propellers
- Author(s)
- Iovenitti, Pio G.; Lam, M. K.; Lee, S. F.; Masood, Syed H.
- Abstract
- This paper describes the design and development of a precision calliper system to measure the surface profile of an outboard marine engine propeller blade. Several instruments that are commonly used for measuring the surface profile of a propeller blade are reviewed in this paper. These include the pitch meter, the profilometer and the computer numerical control coordinate-measuring machine (CNC-CMM). However, the operating practices and availability of different facilities in industry necessitate a more cost-effective approach. An alternative method using a precision calliper system is therefore proposed. Details of the design criteria, principles of operation and the testing and verification of the system are presented. The paper concludes that the precision calliper system is a cost-effective method for measuring the surface profile of a propeller.

|ジガ Jiga
|Naruto Episode #187
|Appears in
|Voice Actors
Jiga (ジガ, Jiga) was the second oldest brother from the Criminal Brothers trio.
Jiga, along with his brothers, established a coup d'etat, which resulted in the death of the Land of Vegetables' daimyō. After their rise to power, the three brothers betrayed their allies, which included greedy and disloyal courtiers they had recruited, and slaughtered them all. The brothers themselves were distrusting of each other, and plotted to kill off the others in order to have more wealth and power for themselves.
From an early age Jiga had ingested iron, which eventually allowed him the ability to magnetise his body and other surrounding objects. He could use his magnetism to disrupt the electrical impulses in the brain, effectively blocking a person's entire nervous system from functioning. He was also able to rip metallic ore and rocks from his environment to make makeshift projectiles to overwhelm an opponent. He turns this ability on and off by slapping his stomach. This ability had a glaring weakness to those who could exploit it: occasionally, during the course of a battle, he had to pause to stop the flow of magnetism. If he remained the ability on for too long, he would attract all nearby ferrous objects against his will.
Jiga was extremely proficient with a kusarigama, enhancing his ability by magnetising the weight and using it to home in on an opponent's ferrous metallic objects (such as a forehead protector). He was also physically strong, seen when he was easily able to swing Naruto, who was stuck at the kusarigama around, and when he almost defeated Hinata with one single punch in the stomach.
Part I
Land of Vegetables Arc
His brother Ruiga was defeated by Naruto, Chōji, and Yurinojō. Jiga then finished Ruiga off himself by burying him in magnetic rocks, stating that one less person sharing the wealth meant a larger share for himself and Renga. After he killed Ruiga, he fought Naruto and quickly defeated him. Hinata arrived soon after Naruto's defeat, and was able to defeat Jiga. She did this by inserting an electric current in his chakra effectively reversing its flow, causing him to become a powerful magnet. He is then sucked into an iron sand vortex, which killed him.
- The "Ji" in his name could be "磁" (Magnetism), a reference to his abilities.

Steven Hirsch has put together a number of portraits of Alien Abductees.
"When I was in my thirties I found out from my father the truth about a government experiment that I was part of in which they were using other alien DNA to create me. I also have been on the ships most of my life off and on. I've had lots of contacts. Most of my contacts began when I was a teenager although I had it when I was younger. I was being taken. I've been taken on ships quite a bit.
I've also been on various ships. Mother ships and transporter ships. I've got to meet numerous types of beings. I've met Salamander beings and I've met Greys, various different types of Greys. I've also met the Blue Arcturians which are incredible. They all have their own personalities and their own purposes. So I've met Blue Arcturians. I've met Andromedans, the Assyrian Warriors of Light. I've met the Sirius Nephrons. I've also met the Cat People that are from Sirius. I've met many. I've actually seen people that can shape shift from human looking to Reptilians.
As far as the abductions. I've had numerous of them where they've shown me around various ships. They've also explained to me about the Hybrids and about the Starseeds that are here on planet Earth, why they're here and how they're here to help humanity. My job primarily is to awaken the Starseeds to remember why they're here on planet Earth. I have communication with beings of all different races. I've had communication with Reptilians as well as those that look like werewolves. They look like werewolves on steroids. I've also had communication with the human looking ones, with Ashtar, with Sananda, with Archangel Michael. I've also been able to help others go to the ships. Part of my mission is to help people get to the ships that need to be on the ships. There's a lot of what you would consider updating when it comes to with what's happening to planet Earth and when strategies have to change then many of the Starseeds that are here on special missions are taken to the ships where they are then informed of the changes in the strategies and so forth of what is going to be happening in the future. I've never yet ever met a being that was malevolent. I've always meet the benevolent ones. I've never experienced unconditional love till I've met them face to face and had conscious contact with them. They have taught me the importance of living with unconditional love and working with the light of source. This is the power that rules the universe.
I saw the three little Greys standing next to my bed. And they were telling me if you don't move we're not going to hurt you and they never hurt me. but they did float me off the bed, and through the window. They took me to their craft which was outside. Laid me on the table.
This went on two, three times a year. I got to where I knew they were coming. I would see them come through a wall or through a door and I would just mentally say do what you have to do as long as you don't hurt me and I'd pass out. Then about four years ago I just got tired of it. I said, "Look you guys you shouldn't be doing that" because I felt like they're down in areas they shouldn't be in you know. Down around the genitals and stuff. They said, "We have the right." I don't know what they meant by that but. Then I said to the one that was working on me which was a taller one with the big head and big face and he always put it right up against my face. All I could see was his big black eyes. And I said, "But why are you doing all this all the time?" And he said, "You will know when it's time." And that was the only message I got and from then on they stopped coming four years ago. I'm disappointed. I liked them coming. I was hoping to learn something. But they never talked to me or anything except to give me a message if I asked something. And the message was basically, shut up.
It happen eleven years ago in St. Louis, Missouri at an exotic dancing bar in North County and I went in there to just have a few drinks and look at some strip you know girls dance around the pole and this guy comes in out of nowhere and he was uh black in color but he had a very strange voice. And he knew things about me that no one in the bar knew. Like how many trips I took. He knew things I was doing. He knew when my parents were gonna die and what they were gonna die of. Then he tells me he's here to abduct me. Replace forty nine chips. And Dr. Lewinsky one of those hybrids, Grey hybrids was gonna do the operation. And they were gonna take me aboard a flying saucer. Um, I thought I escaped this guy. I did a physic reading yesterday with a lady, she told me I was abducted, I was swept up for like three hours and they did exactly what they said they were gonna do to me and then took me back to the bar and woke me up and I lost like three hours in time. That's all I remember. They took my memory away from this abduction.
It was a human hybrid. He looks like a black man but he had a strange voice that wasn't like black in origin. He sounded like a white man.
About my life? I remember my father told me he was abducted by aliens in the 1950's. And now he's dead. He died of cancer just like the aliens said he would. He died in 2001 after September 11th. The aliens said my mother was gonna die in 2011 and she did.
She said I do but I don't know where they are.
November 5, 1975, me and six other men were leaving work in a remote forrest and we encountered an unidentified flying object and I was taken aboard. My co-workers were accused of murdering me and making up a story to cover up for why I was missing. The state police gave them a lie detector test, but even though they passed ever since then it's been one sort of attempt to explain it away anyway they could. If you're going to pass judgement on it get the facts first.
When I regained consciousness on board I encountered some definitely non human entities and also some beings that resembled humans to a high degree. It was a very traumatic experience.
There was a knock at the door and there was a Grey being standing there. And this being handed me this small baby. I looked up to him and he handed me a second one that shouldn't have been there. I woke up screaming and so angry. Come back with bruising or woken up I guess with bruising that shouldn't have been there.
I had a hole in the back of my head that under black light glowed with a triangle around it. I like to tell myself that they were dreams but somewhere inside myself I know it was more than that.
About two thirty in the morning there were four little Greys at the foot of my bed. They were all just alike and I was looking at them and saying, "They're so ugly. Why am I not afraid?" But they had done something to calm me down. And one of them came around to the side of the bed and did something. They were showing me pictures on either side of the bed. Some type of a hologram. I knew it was something about my past life but I didn't know exactly what is was they were showing me.
What they said was that had been coming to me ever since I was a child and they were not doing anything against my will and I used to be one of them and I had agreed to be this bridge between the pleiades. It's where they said they came from and the earth. And they had been teaching me things that I was supposed to bring through and teach to others here on Earth and I hadn't been doing a very good job of it. So they were been giving me a review of what they'd taught me. Which were the holograms on both sides of the bed. They were telling me things about cleaning up the environment, being nicer to each other and having more brotherly love. And also the big thing that was important to them was getting rid of nuclear power plants. They said it was contaminating the earth. And it also had the potential for harming them too.
Wherever I go I have encounters. To my knowledge I've been in contact with six different beings or races from other planets. Some actually look very human and there's two races that look quite different. One is very insectoid looking kind of race another is the guy I call doctor, he has a very leathery look to him. I've had contact with the tall Greys and short little white guys. And the guys in brown hooded robes that use to surround my bed when I was a little girl.
My most recent encounter was December 11th of 2011. It was a very sexual, sensual experience. And it was delightful actually. It was like having a full body orgasm. All I can say is every cell in my body felt alive and vibrating and filled with life and love. It was a very expansive feeling. I was also floating. It was what I would imagine the experience of making love with God would be like.
In September I met two daughters that I didn't know that I have that are hybrids. They're not on this planet. Im not sure if they're on another planet or on a craft.
One of my encounters happened in New Mexico when I was living out in the middle of nowhere. I was walking up the driveway to lock the gate. The only thing I can figure there was a portal on either side of the driveway. A tall Grey being with very large black eyes ran across the driveway, turned and looked at me and telepathically asked me if I had seen his mate cause they apparently had crashed up the road.
I was working down at the forest department. I was trimming trees down for fire protection. Stacking them up and burning it and when I was working late we all piled up in to the truck and started heading home. There was a bright object to the right of us and we couldn't tell what it was. First we thought it was something the hunters made up, you know for hunting season cause it was hunting season. We couldn't tell what it was then when we got closer we stopped in front of it and just saw this thing hovering in the air. Travis Walton he gets out and gets up to it. Everyone was hollering at him to come back. And Allan Dallas he's on the right of me and there was seven of us in a pickup truck and there was three in the front and four in the back. Allan Dallas he hits the floorboard and I get a perfect view. Travis goes up there, he's in front of it. Ducks behind some dead branches and stuff and he just raises up and this thing is just hovering in the air and it starts rocking back and forth. It has a beeping noise to it going, "Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep." And then this blueish, well there was a humming, high pitch too. I can't explain the pitch. It started rocking back and forth and Travis stands up. A blueish green light comes out and zaps him. He flys back about twenty feet where it zapped him I said, "It got him." When I said, "It got him" Mike takes off and leaves him. We were going down the highway. We stopped down the road.
It was a bright white like two cake cans on top of each other. It was a really bright white light. The light that came out and zapped him was blueish green. I didn't see nobody. We stopped down the road a little bit to talk about what happened. And we back to look for him and couldn't find him. So we went into town. Kenny Peterson called the cops and the cops came out there and we told them the story. He didn't believe us. He thought we were drunk or something. Three of us went back. Michael went back, Allan Dallas and Kenny Peterson went back with the cops to look for him. Me and John Goulette and Dwayne Smith. We went home cause I thought he was dead. So the cops went out there to look for him and thought they were gonna find a body. And then the next morning the cops were at my door. They just got a hundred man posse to go look for him. So my moms out there talking to them and telling my mom that they think we killed him. So I snuck out the back door and I hid all day while they were out looking for him cause everybody else went out there with em with the cops. So I figured the cops were gonna find the body and there was no way in hell I was gonna go out there and look for him and find the body. You know. So I hid all day till they came back. And the when they came back I came out of hiding.

News 12 First at Five / Thursday, Feb. 14, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Georgia Regents University is putting good use to a $60,000 grant. They're making a video game for kids just starting school -- helping them learn to read. They say a similar DVD has already been successful.
Now they're trying to continue the success by making a video game. Reading is fundamental and not reading is detrimental, especially to kids who have just started school.
"It's not, 'Here is the ball.' It's language involvement that expands their knowledge base," said GRU Professor Paulette.
Thanks to a federal grant, Georgia Regents University was able to make 20,000 DVDs aimed at improving kids' reading skills.
"The results were a 20-point gain on the average for the Peabody vocabulary test. It tests their receptive vocabulary," Harris said.
"This goes into the homes of kids who don't have many books in the home. It may be single-parent homes where the parent has very little time to read," said Professor Walter Evans.
Now they're using another grant to build a video game focused on improving reading skills.
"We intend to help as many kids as inexpensively as we can," Evans said.
The video game will be a lot like the DVD. The game will be more interactive to help kids understand concepts better.
"They have heard so many classic nursery rhymes and fairy tales.They include long sentences and multisyllabic words," Evans said.
