CAMBRIA The blubbery hubbub was like a scene from National Geographic TV. Packed flipper-to-flipper on a central California beach, thousands of massive elephant seals noisily fought with each other, brutishly mated, lazily lounged or nursed saucer-eyed babies. Suddenly, one of the bulbous-nosed 5,000-pound bulls of this rare rookery would let out a mad bellow, rise up like a sea monster and slog across the sand to conquer another female for his harem.
"Oh look," the blue-jacketed docent casually said, as we stood on a raised viewing platform staring down at the mesmerizing marine mayhem. "There's a seagull eating a placenta — that seal over there just gave birth." A shiny black pup rested next to a new mom, who soon barred her teeth at an approaching aquatic Lothario.
Watching this colossal colony of pinnipeds — they're called elephant seals because their pendulous schnozzes resemble trunks — is an extraordinary experience especially during mating season. It was first on my to-do list during a trip to Cambria, a picturesque pine tree-shrouded enclave hailed by Forbes as one of "America's Prettiest Towns" and boasting sweeping views of rugged unspoiled coast plus a quaint inland hub of Victorian-motif shops and restaurants.
Cambria is also as slow-moving as elephant seals (who are actually about 14 miles north), so during a 24-hour girls' getaway we had to step it into gear. We were blown away (literally) by spectacular vistas while strolling the boardwalk on wind-whipped cliffs of Moonstone Beach (where you can find the namesake translucent stones that supposedly wield magical powers and crank up your love engine); visited an 1870-built house-turned-museum (where one former occupant, a Prohibition bootlegger, embedded jugs of whiskey in the basement's wall); ducked into a still-serving Wild West saloon originally established in 1866 (now a dive bar); explored specialty shops selling strange stuff (like Confit of Jasmine Flowers and olallieberry licorice); and overnighted in a terrific Travelzoo bargain, the hilltop Cambria Pines Lodge, which "according to legend" was built in 1927 by an eccentric European baroness so she could be close to lavish parties at nearby Hearst Castle.
I've been to that opulent San Simeon estate before, so this trip I decided to see another registered California Historical Landmark that couldn't be, uh, trashier. Nitt Witt Ridge, which the state recognized in 1986 as "remarkable 20th century folk art," is a trash-created, dilapidating ramshackle residence built over a 50-year span by Cambria's garbage collector, the curmudgeonly recluse Art Beal (aka Capt. Nitt Witt and Der Tinkerpaw), now deceased. Beal bought a 2.5-acre lot in 1928, and wielding pick and shovel, constructed a spectacle from junk like abalone shells, car rims, broken tiles he supposedly lifted from Hearst Castle's rubbish, toilets and Busch beer cans (he enjoyed a "coffee break" every 15 minutes, which explains the gazillion Busch containers).
"This is the anti-Hearst castle," said current owner and plumber Mike O'Malley, after unlocking the vandal-thwarting chain-link fence surrounding the terraced oddity. We soon stood in a creepy rundown kitchen with rotting wood cabinets, falling plaster and dust-covered canned goods, seemingly untouched since bachelor Beal, at age 93, moved to a nursing home in 1989 (the last time the home was inhabited). "Beal's Metamucil is still right there."

AdwareThis is a type of software package that automatically displays or downloads advertisements on your computer. Adware was designed to generate revenue for the person/business that developed the software and is generally harmless. However, some adware may come with spyware, keyloggers, and other types of software that may invade your privacy. Any anti-virus software can help prevent and remove adware that may be on your computer.
Anti-Virus This is a type of program designed to protect, prevent, and remove viruses and other forms of malware that may have been unknowingly installed on your computer. There are many trusted anti-virus programs available for purchase and/or download that will go a long way in keeping your computer and your personal information safe and secure. Be wary of those companies claiming to be anti-virus software offering you a deal that seems too good to be true. This could be a Trojan designed to steal your personal information.
DNSThis stands for Domain Name Server, it translates human-friendly host names (for example, www.centralbancompany.com) into an IP address used by computers. Threats to DNS allow someone with malicious intent to impersonate any web site – even the bank's site. Please verify the domain name and the certificate, which can be identified as a padlock just to the right of the URL. When you hover your mouse over the padlock on Central Bancompany's family of bank websites, it will say "Identified by DigiCert."
FirewallThis is a means of separating an organization's computer network from outside networks for security purposes. A firewall can assist in keeping out viruses, as well as to prevent unauthorized outsiders from gaining access to an organization's network. Central Bancompany's firewall is very restrictive and secure. If you choose, you may put a firewall on your home network as well. To do so, please contact your Internet provider for suggestions on how you should go about doing this.
IP AddressThis stands for Internet Protocol address, is a numerical label assigned to each device accessing the internet. An IP address is a series of four groups of numbers separated by dots. Every server has its own unique address. You can find your IP Address at http://whatismyipaddress.com.
Keystroke LoggerThis is someone covertly tracking the keys a person types on a keyboard with the intention of stealing login or other personal information. This keystroke data can be logged and stored for later use or accessed in real-time. Anti-keylogger software and/or anti-virus software is available as an additional layer of security should you choose to protect yourself from key loggers.
MalwareThis is any software designed to do something the user would not wish it to do and often has no knowledge until it's too late. Malware can include viruses, worm holes, Trojans, and Malware, if not treated properly, your computer could be crippled and personal information could be stolen. Typically, anti-virus and malware protection software is available for purchase at any electronics store.
PhishingThis is the act to try and obtain financial or other confidential information, typically sent via email that looks legitimate, but it contains a link to a fake website that looks like a real one. The computer criminal will try to bait the consumer into entering private login credentials. Even if you recognize the email sender, please verify that the link is legitimate and the website you visit is legitimate. It is advised to type the URL instead of clicking on any bank URL in an email. If you feel as though you've been a victim of a Phishing attack, please email email@example.com. Central Bancompany will never ask for personally identifiable information in an email, by phone, or letter, and will never ask for you to enter login account numbers, passwords, or usernames if we contact you.
Pop-upsThis is a form of advertising on the web intended to attract visitors to a specific product or service. A new web browser window will display either on top of the current web page you are viewing or behind the page you are viewing. Most modern browsers have built-in pop-up blockers so your web viewing can remain largely uninterrupted. Please avoid inputting any personal information into pop-up ads, especially your email address, name, Social Security Number, or online banking information.
Screen GrabberThis is a way that computer attackers or other computer criminals can capture still images of your personal computer to steal sensitive information such as usernames, secret words, credit card numbers, and much more. Used in conjunction with keystroke logging, a screen grabber can scrape all the information he or she will need to hijack your online banking account. Please keep your anti-virus software up-to-date and notify the bank if any unusual activity happens within your bank account.
SMiShingThis delivers bait to your cell phone via text message with the intent of stealing information from a URL delivered in the text message. If you receive a text message that seems incorrect, always call the bank and do not click on the link. If you accidentally click on the link, it's fine, just don't enter any personal information anywhere. Central Bancompany will never ask for your account number, passwords, or any other personal identifiable information in a text message, in an email, by phone, or by letter.
SMTPThis stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. Always be wary of emails containing links and emails that seem random in nature or just don't sound like the person sending them. Every day, thousands of email addresses get hijacked with the hopes a computer attacker can gain access to your personal information. As a general rule, it's always better to be overly-critical of email as opposed to having your information stolen. Also, remember that email sent over SMTP is not secure and is sent as plain-text, so anyone with sufficient expertise can intercept the message and read its contents. Never send sensitive data over unsecured email.
SPFThis stands for Sender Policy Framework and is an email validation system that is designed to stop spam from reaching your inbox. While this can make a spammer easier to trace, customers should still be wary of emails soliciting personal information. Remember, any bit of information you give a computer attacker, the closer they get to stealing your identity or stealing money from you.
Spoofed Email/SitesThis is a website or an email that is designed to look familiar, perhaps a website you visit quite regularly or an email from a regular correspondent. A form of phishing, it is designed to steal personal information from you, including bank account information. Please make sure to double check the web address, located in the web browser's address bar (usually at the top of the browser window) to make sure you are on the legitimate website. Additionally, you should make sure everything appears and displays properly on the page and doesn't look out of the ordinary. If you have any feeling like you might be on a spoofed site via a spoofed email, please close your web browser and forward the email to firstname.lastname@example.com. If a hacker tries to mimic Central Bancompany's affiliate sites, it will take full legal action against that person(s).
SpywareThis is a type of malware that is hidden on a victim's computer. It collects small pieces of information about the user such as Internet history, browser settings, redirecting your web browser activity, and more. Spyware invades your privacy and can collect your banking information if you input information somewhere you shouldn't or share that sensitive information via unsecure email. Good anti-virus software should protect you against spyware problems.
SSLThis stands for Secure Sockets Layer, and is a cryptographic protocol to provide security on the Internet. Essentially, it is designed to make the web viewing experience secure and authentic. A virtual handshake, it verifies the website is secure by displaying a padlock on the browser frame (or in the address bar, depending on which browser you're using) and the web address will begin with "https://". When logging in to your online banking account, only Central Bancompany's system can decrypt the material until the browsing session is closed. If the virtual handshake never occurs, Central Bancompany's security system will not allow you to access sensitive information. If you are having problems logging in to your account, please contact your local branch.
TCP/IPThis stands for Transmission Control Protocol and the Internet Protocol, and is the primary foundation for what is the Internet. This allows computers and systems to communicate with a high level of connectivity, data processing, connecting consumers to businesses, social networks and more. With this high level of connectivity comes a danger of sophisticated hackers understanding the deep levels of TCP/IP and leveraging it to steal your information. As a general rule, always keep your anti-virus software up to date, be wary of suspicious emails, and don't click on any links that do not seem correct to you.
TrojanThis is designed to look like an application, this software will perform a desirable function for the user prior to an installation, but after it is installed, it will harm your computer and steal your information. Beware of software and applications that may seem too good to be true. As an example, a customer may think he or she is downloading an anti-virus software to rid a computer of adware or other malware, but he or she is accidentally installing a Trojan. Only install anti-virus software from a trusted source. If you are unsure, do a simple search on the company providing you an offer that seems too good to be true.
URL This stands for Uniform Resource Locator. This is the web address that identifies a particular website. The URL typically starts with http:// or https:// followed by the domain name. For example, Central Bancompany's URL is http://www.centralbancompany.com.
VirusThis is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer. Designed to spread from one computer to another, this is done so if a person clicks on a link, button, or graphic sent by another infected computer or a computer attacker by simply clicking on a link or downloading an application. Viruses are designed to replicate and harm the computer. Many viruses do nothing to raise suspicion and are silently waiting to steal information. Some viruses do nothing except reproduce themselves to harm and slow down a computer's performance.
VishingThis is a telephone-based attack with the intent to gain access to your private financial information. This technique is typically used in identity theft schemes or to steal credit card numbers. Please remember, if a person calls you claiming to be from Central Bancompany, they will never ask for your social security number, credit card number or bank account number.
WormThis is a self-replicating malware computer program which sends copies of itself to other computers on the same network with the intention to cause harm. Most worms are designed to spread and alter the system they pass through, however, some worms will actually manipulate files on your computer with mal-intent. Staying up-to-date on your anti-virus or anti-spyware software is helpful to preventing worms passing through your computer and potentially completing harmful behavior.

Work has begun on a new memorial in Aurora that will commemorate Coloradoans who died in service to their country.
Designed to resemble the shape of the Rocky Mountains, the $700,000 Colorado Freedom Memorial will list the names of nearly 6,000 fallen servicemen and servicewomen.
According to the Denver Post, organizers broke ground Saturday.
Rick Crandall, president of the Colorado Freedom Memorial Foundation, says the memorial "is providing all of us an opportunity to make sure we never forget that loss."
Crandall, a morning radio host for KEZW, formed the foundation after broadcasting live from the American cemetery at Omaha Beach in Normandy, France, in 2000.
The memorial, which will list casualties from every branch of the military, beginning with the Spanish-American War, should be finished by May 26.

How so?
quote:Seriously? Tell us what the GOP do to win. What do you think the media would do to Republicans who called press conferences to blame Democrats?
How so?
But nothing is getting better, so how can anyone call this progress or victory or whatever.
Bad news is bad news...deficit spending is on this President's watch...
Lack of Leadership is Lack of leadership...At some point the MSNBC's of the world have to come to their senses...
rom what it looks like to me, Obama and Boehner-McConnell are posturing while a deal is being worked out. So chill.
quote:the Republicans need to buy commercials on the networks and lay out the facts. Even the networks can't turn down the money. That is the only way it will be shown.
the Republicans need to hold press conferences and call out the Dems on this
Where are you getting this from?
The Republicans don't have to worry about what the media says
Get up on stage and talk and be direct about it
I am sick of this game going on
someone needs to throw a fit, toss over a podium, ask the media questions "Hey Media pal back in the 3rd row, you think this is a joke?, where is your proposal to come up with 1 Trillion?, why are you asking tough questions of the administration, why don't you do your joke, why do you suck so bad? I am mean seriously, you are a complete failure!" show some passion go off on somebody and make the news...Make the evening news
"You know deep down, he is right, now what?"
Nothing of substance from Democrats, just a bunch of crap finger pointing "you are being irresponsible"!!!
All of it is on the Democrats at this point because they hold the cards and the white house.
Lack of Leadership is Lack of leadership...At some point the MSNBC's of the world have to come to their senses...

After the recent expansion and renovation of the Oldham County Public Library's main branch, it looks as if the library hopes to do something similar with it's South Oldham location.
Oldham officials voted Tuesday to allow the library board to move forward in studying a possible expansion to the South Oldham branch. Library Director Susan Eubank asked the court to consider donating or leasing the space between the current South Oldham Library and the government center for an expansion of the library's facility.

As the length of the papilla increases, debris collects and bacteria grow, producing the characteristic dark "furry" appearance. This can be associated with antibiotic use.

The National Council of People Living with HIV/Aids (Nacopha) has called on the government to take action against schools labelling school children living with HIV/Aids.
The call was made in Dar es Salaam at the weekend by Nacopha chairman Vitalis Makayula at a press conference saying early March, this year, the media reported on the practice of discriminating against pupils living with HIV/Aids by marking their school uniforms with a red mark in Kibaha District, Coast Region.
He said the practice was also prevalent in other parts of the country including Iringa, Tanga, Mara, Kigoma, Mwanza and Mtwara regions. "We are still investigating if there are other schools doing the same," he said.
He said he was deeply saddened by such a practice, which was a clear violation of human rights particularly to people living with HIV/Aids. "This contravenes the Constitution of the United Republic, policies, laws, government seculars and international conventions and protocols on human rights that Tanzania had ratified," he noted.
According to him, Nacopha is very much concerned about negative psychological, mental, academic and social effects on children.
Moreover, he said it was distressing to learn that even teachers condoned such an untoward practice.
"The teachers have acknowledged that the practice has been there for a long time but they have not been instructed by any higher authority to do it," he noted.
Furthermore, Nacopha has found out that despite the reports on the practice in some parts of the country, there is no ministry concerned about the welfare of the children including the ministry for children's affairs such as the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training (MoEVT), Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MoHSW), the Ministry of Community Development, Gender and Children (MCDGC), Prime Minister's Office – Regional Administration and Local Governments (PMO-RALG), and the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs (MJCA).
Even when Nacopha met with MoEVT apart from showing shock about the information, the ministry acknowledged that there were no guidelines instructing school authorities to label pupils with any health problem.
For his part, Service Health and Development for People Living Positively with HIV/Aids (Shdepha) Managing Director Joseph Kato said the labelling of primary school children on their school uniforms with a red stripe on their shoulders wasn't proper at all.
Kato said: "Two pupils have already left school in Rufiji District because of being labelled by red stripes on their uniforms as children with health problems and some even wished to shift to other schools.

BW040: Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!
this wiki
With Nimbasa City drawing closer, Ash and Co. check out an ad for the Wonder Launcher and right in front of their eyes was the girl from the ad. However, they find that the girl that was in front of them was actually Zorua, the mischievous, shape-shifting Tricky Fox Pokémon. They also meet its trainer, a young boy named Luke and his Golett. Luke explained that while working on a movie, Zorua got all moody and ran off. Later Ash and co. decide to help Luke by becoming actors in the film so that Zorua will only have one role. Will the movie be a big hit? Yes. And will Ash and co. get a new travelling companion?
The gang arrives to a building where they see a screen featuring a movie. Not much after are they suprised to see the main actress approaching them. Suddenly the actress transforms into Iris, but finally it is shown that Zorua is shape changing. A man runs towards them, demanding his Zorua. Zorua changes into Pikachu and fights with Ash's Pikachu. The man lifts his Pokémon, but he is electrocuted when he realizes that the Pikachu is not Zorua. The man goes after Iris' Axew, but sees that Zorua escapes them.
The man introduces himself as Luke - he is making the movies, like the one they saw on the screen. His comapnion are Zorua (as they saw before) and a Golett. He tells Zorua is the actor - she can change into many characters and Pokémon, but sadly when Luke wanted a Captain, Zorua transformed into a princess and ran away. Team Rocket spy on the situation. They go inside and see the princess. The princess shifts into Zorua, so Cilan believes that Zorua wants to be only the princess. Zorua agrees, but Luke wonders how is he going to make a movie with one character. To help him, Ash offers to help him by being the actor, with others agreeing. Luke gives Ash the role of protagonist - "Knight", Iris is a "Dragon Master" and Cilan is the antagonist - the "Captain". So, Luke goes off to write the scenario, Ash, Iris and Cilan making the movie equipment and Luke's Leavanny and Ash's Swadloon making the costumes.
After some time, the movie can be started. In scene one, "Knight" Ash and Pikachu are seeing "Captain" Cilan taking the princess. Ash is nervous, so Luke and Cilan give him advice that he needs to be himself to overcome nervousness. So, they begin anew - "Knight" demands from the "Captain" the princess. When he refuses, Pikachu uses Electro-Ball while Cilan's Pansage attacks with Solar Beam. With the explosion, the Captain and Princess are disappeared. This ends the scene and Luke is happy everything went right.
The scene two features the "Knight" Ash and "Dragon Master" Iris. The Knight asks him where the Princess is, but the Sage will not tell him if he defeats her. To do that, Pikachu uses Electro-Ball, so Axew dodges, but he isn't fast so is stricken by the attack. Luke does not know if Axew is the best character for the scene, but Cilan proposes that Axew should use Dragon Rage instead. So, they repeat, but Axew uses Dragon Rage, stopping Electro-Ball. The Dragon Master says to the Knight he should look into his heart to attack. So, Pikachu uses Thunderbolt as well to defeat Axew, but both Axew and the Dragon Master disappear.
In 3rd scene, the Knight needs to rescue the Princess from the Captain. Pikachu uses Electro-Ball, but his attack is stopped by Pansage's Solar Beam. Unexpectedly, Team Rocket's Yamask and Woobat attack them, appearing in a plane and stealing the Princess (who transforms into Zorua). Cilan tells Luke to still point the camera. The Captain says he was bad because Team Rocket possessed him, so he reveals to be a magician. Golett uses Shadow Ball to destroy the plane and Pansage uses Bullet Seed to open the cage. However, Yamask uses Shadow Ball and Woobat Air Slash. Zorua goes to the gang, but Meowth appears, so Zorua transforms into a female Meowth, charming him. Pikachu uses Electro-Ball, then Thunderbolt to defeat them, but Team Rocket fly away in jetpacks.
Cilan (aka the "Magician) tells Iris to transform into a princess - Iris has been the princess all the time, to fool Team Rocket from capturing her. In the end of the movie, the Knight and the Magician swear oath to protect the Princess. The viewers are amazed by the movie and the director himself is pleased, although he would've liked to see more exciting battles. He advises Luke to go to the Battle club at Nimbasa City. The gang hears that statement, so they will go with Luke to there as well.

've spent the past two Memorial Days the same way. Both years, I've headed to La Grange to attend – and photograph – the county's annual Memorial Day service, honoring those who have fought and continue to fight for our freedom in the armed forces.
I've listened as the names are read of the soldiers who have lost their lives fighting in our country's wars. I've watched as veterans stand to salute the flag as the Oldham County Community Band plays a medley of each song representing the armed forces.

Is anybody doing this trip on 6/28/12? I'm looking to get to know people before the trip starts.
European Horizon
8 countries \ 11 days \ from US$1515 per person
Seven countries in ten days...sounds like a tour for people who know what they want and don't have time to wait around for it! This is a great introduction to Europe for first timers, giving you a taste for more. Wear clogs in Amsterdam, visit a beerhall in Munich and cruise the canals of Venice on a gondola, you won't want to miss a moment! This trip is also one of the best for scenery lovers with drives over the famous Brenner Pass and past Lake Como.

Nespresso is thinking big in Moscow
A victim of its own success, the Nespresso Boutique that opened in 2004 is about to quadruple in size, to cover an area of 174 m2. To avoid upsetting its crowds of faithful clients it is staying at the same address in the Novinsky Passage, ideally located on the Garden Ring, one of the busiest main streets of the Russian capital. And it has another advantage in a city with such heavy traffic− a huge car park!

Storksak Supports Operation Showers of Appreciation
Storksak and Babymel Partner with OSOA to Help Provide Diaper Bags for Expectant Military Personnel and their Families
Los Angeles, CA – The wife of an active duty United States Marine, Kimberly Felshaw, established Operation Showers of Appreciation in 2006 after members of a local church invited her to attend a shower where she was gifted all the items necessary to care for their first baby. A few weeks after the shower, her daughter Allysa was born. She arrived six weeks early and was diagnosed with a terminal disease called Trisomy 13 and only lived for three short weeks. The kindness and loving support Kimberly received from her local church, both before the birth and after the loss of Allysa, inspired her to start Operation Showers of Appreciation. To date, OSOA has helped hundreds of U.S. military families who either would not have had a shower because they are located so far from friends and family or who are unable to afford many essential parenting items. Beginning with the February 25th shower at Camp Pendleton and continuing throughout the year, Storksak and Babymel will donate 120 diaper bags to military personnel and their families attending these showers.
Each year, Operation Showers of Appreciation hosts over a dozen showers and gifts from 5 up to 150 moms-to-be at each shower. OSOA relies heavily on their extensive network of volunteers, who plan and implement each shower and help solicit in-kind donations. "A diaper bag is not a luxury; every mom needs a reliable bag to help keep parenting essentials organized while on-the-go," said Suzi Bergman, co-founder of Storksak and Babymel. "Operation Showers of Appreciation is an amazing organization and we are so proud to be able to partner with them to help provide assistance to military personnel and their families for the daily sacrifices they make to protect our freedoms," she continued.
About Operation Showers of Appreciation:
OSOA is a 501(c)3, non-profit tax-exempt organization, whose mission is to honor our military families in a unique way by showering them with gifts for their newborn babies, providing support during difficult times, and letting them know the many sacrifices of both the families and service members are appreciated. To make a donation for one or multiple showers, please contact Courtney Hilborn at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Andy Coulson arrested in London by Tommy Sheridan trial perjury inquiry police
11:20 30 May 2012
David Cameron's former communications chief Andy Coulson has been arrested on suspicion of perjury.
The 44-year-old was detained in London this morning by officers from Strathclyde Police in connection with the Tommy Sheridan trial in Glasgow.
Coulson gave evidence in Mr Sheridan's perjury trial at the High Court in Glasgow in December 2010.
He was also arrested last year in relation to Scotland Yard's long-running investigation into phone-hacking at the News of the World.
He was held in July on suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications and corruption and had his bail extended earlier this month.
It is understood Coulson is on his way to Glasgow.
Operation Rubicon detectives have been looking at whether certain witnesses lied to the court during Sheridan's trial as part of a "full" investigation into phone hacking in Scotland.
Sheridan was jailed for three years in January 2011 after being found guilty of perjury during his 2006 defamation action against the News of the World.
He was awarded £200,000 in damages after winning the civil case but a jury at the High Court in Glasgow found him guilty of lying about the now-defunct tabloid's claims that he was an adulterer who visited a swingers' club.
The former MSP was released from jail in January after serving one year of his sentence.

|Naruto: Shippūden #242 (Watch Online)
|"Land Ahoy! Is this the Island of Paradise?"

Naruto's Vow (ナルトの誓い, Naruto no Chikai) is episode 242 of the Naruto: Shippūden anime.
While on his way to meet messengers from Iwagakure, Chōjūrō decides to go on ahead by himself, due to the slow progress in travelling. Naruto and his group stop at one of the smaller islands off the coast of the Land of Water for restocking before going straight to the Land of Lightning. Naruto sets off to eat. Akatsuchi is sent by the Tsuchikage to the same isolated island in the Land of Water to rendezvous with Chōjūrō, and Kurotsuchi tags along. As they await, they're attacked by a group of Kirigakure ninja, led by Ganryū. Battle ensues and Akatsuchi is injured. Naruto and Chōjūrō interfere and stop the battle. Chōjūrō demands Ganryū and his team to withdraw, stating that they are violating the Mizukage's will. The team leaves, and Kurotsuchi argues with Chōjūro to tend Akatsuchi's injuries, who says they need to wait for a medical-nin. Chōjūrō explains those were ninja who oppose the Allied Shinobi Forces, Ganryū being the sole survivor of the Tragedy of Yosuga Pass. Kurotsuchi heads out to kill Ganryū before he can kill her. Naruto however, stops Kurotsuchi from fatally injuring Ganryū, telling Ganryū that it will just create a cycle of hatred. Kurotsuchi attempts to slash Ganryū using her sword, but Naruto blocks it with his body. Ganryū agrees to let Naruto fulfil the peace. Chōjūro arrives with other Kiri ninja, telling Ganryū to surrender, which he does. Chōjūro informs him that the Iwa messenger was sent by the Tsuchikage himself, to formally apologise for the Tragedy of Yogusa Pass, and return a personal belonging of one of Ganryū's team-mates who was killed in it. Chōjūro tells the others that Ganryū won't be sentenced for execution. Akatsuchi then tells Kurotsuchi that Kiri will just owe Iwa a favour in the future to come, delighted that the Iwa-Kiri grudge has come to an end. Naruto leaves in a hurry, without introducing himself to the others. Once arriving with Yamato and the others, they await for a new ship to take them to the island in the Land of Lightning.
- Team Ganryū's flak jackets are erroneously depicted like Iwagakure flak jackets with the exception of their colour.
- Ganryū also wears a white forehead protector cloth; usually only seen on Kumogakure shinobi.

This year's bear hunting regulations now set
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- West Virginia's bear hunting regulations for 2013 are now set.
At their recent quarterly meeting, members of the state Natural Resources Commission changed a couple of the seasons proposed in February by Division of Natural Resources biologists, but accepted most of the DNR proposals without changing them.
Chris Ryan, the DNR's supervisor of game management services, believes one of the commission's changes will increase the bear kill even more than anticipated.
"We had proposed a three-day, mid-October 'early' bear season for the mountain counties," Ryan said. "Commissioner [David] Truban put forth an amendment to make it a six-day season and hold it Sept. 21-27. The other commissioners approved the amendment."
DNR officials already were expecting another 2013 regulation change, one that would allow hunters in the mountain counties to kill bears during the buck deer season, to trigger a record-breaking bear harvest. Ryan believes the commission's change to the early season will increase the kill beyond biologists' expectations.
"I think it's likely that we'll get a bigger harvest now than we would have under the original proposal," he said. "Giving hunters an extra three days in the mountain counties, especially with one of those days being a Saturday, should definitely result in more bears being killed."
Almost as soon as they expanded the early season, commission members voted to tweak the DNR's proposal to allow bear hunting during the mountain counties' buck season.
"Commissioner Truban suggested an amendment that would restrict concurrent bear-buck hunting in those counties to private lands only," Ryan said. "The commission approved that amendment, too."
The change essentially removes from the bear-kill equation any hunters who might have planned to hunt on the Monongahela National Forest or on any of several state wildlife management areas. Ryan added, however, that he doesn't expect the change to have a major effect on the overall harvest.
"Keep in mind that concurrent bear-buck hunting in the mountain counties is by lottery-drawn permit only," he explained. "So the change likely won't have that big an effect."
Ryan said DNR officials would advise hunters who plan to apply for permits to secure access to tracts of private land beforehand.
With the changes, West Virginia's 2013 bear-hunting seasons will be held in the listed counties as follows:

- Hubble Space Telescope photometry of globular clusters in the Sombrero galaxy
- Author(s)
- Larsen, Soren S.; Forbes, Duncan A.; Brodie, Jean P.
- Abstract
- A large number of early-type galaxies are now known to possess blue and red subpopulations of globular clusters. We have compiled a data base of 28 such galaxies exhibiting bimodal globular cluster colour distributions. After converting to a common V–I colour system, we investigate correlations between the mean colour of the blue and red subpopulations with galaxy velocity dispersion. We support previous claims that the mean colours of the blue globular clusters are unrelated to their host galaxy. They must have formed rather independently of the galaxy potential they now inhabit. The mean blue colour is similar to that for halo globular clusters in our Galaxy and M31. The red globular clusters, on the other hand, reveal a strong correlation with galaxy velocity dispersion. Furthermore, in well-studied galaxies the red subpopulation has similar, and possibly identical, colours to the galaxy halo stars. Our results indicate an intimate link between the red globular clusters and the host galaxy; they share a common formation history. A natural explanation for these trends would be the formation of the red globular clusters during galaxy collapse.

Battlemaps are my favorite! Game on!
Hi folks, and welcome to the April/May Lite Challenge. This month's challenge is thus:
Take a minor race that bothers adventurers when they're starting out and create a fiendish lair for them. It could be an abandoned temple repurposed by a tribe of kobolds, thick with traps; it could be a series of mines or caverns inhabited by goblins; it could part of a haunted forest protected by spiteful fey folk; it could be a ruined castle inhabited by a low-ranking necromancer and crawling with hordes of low-level undead. Go crazy!
Additionally, each entry must contain one or more of the following:
1) one watercourse (a stream, a canal, etc)
2) primary and secondary defenses (thought that poison-dart spitting statue was the only trap in the room? Surprise!)
3) two different means of entering the lair (could be a stealth method and a brute force method, for example)
Title each new thread March/April Lite Entry - <your title>
Precede each WIP image with the tag ### Latest WIP ###.
The challenge will end on or around the 13th of May, and the winner will receive a silver compass, and glory.
Battlemaps are my favorite! Game on!

Wow this looks quite exciting... I think I must enter this.
The best maps are the ones we like the most after looking at the longest.
Not so much entrys here, thats weird.
Don't worry, more will come.
We all like to wait until the last week or so before we actually start submitting challenge entries. Procrastinators unite! .....Tomorrow!
Hmm. I like this challenge. Maybe I'm going to enter it...
I've been thinking about a small project to try out some technique, this might be perfect! Sadly I didn't see it until quite late but I might be able to pull something together. A watercourse... yes of course!
Fiendish idea cooking...
Hey guys, just a reminder that this contest will end around 8 or 9 PM Pacific time next monday evening. Make sure all your entries are in by then...
About 7 or 8 hours left. I'll be home from work about then, and threads will be locked down, poll up at that time. So if you've got any last minute additions or changes, now's the time!

Who can use Re$ubmitIt®?
Any business that accepts checks, regardless of the number of bad checks it receives.
What is Electronic Check Re-Presentment (RCK)?
RCK, or Re-presentment Check Entry, is the process of converting a returned paper check into an electronic item and re-submitting it to the check writer's bank account through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network.
Does RCK provide cost savings for a business?
Yes. You spend less time and resources on traditional collection methods, like phone calls and letters.
Is RCK legal?
Yes. The process is federally authorized and approved by NACHA – The Electronic Payments Association. Additional information on this subject is available on the Federal Reserve website.
How many times can a check be presented?
A check can be presented to a check writer's account a total of three times – once by paper draft and twice electronically.
Can Re$ubmitIt® recover all my bad checks electronically?
No. Some items cannot be presented electronically for recovery, e.g., if the account is marked "closed" or "stopped payment;" if the amount of the check is over $2,500; if the check is from a business; or if it is more than 180 days old.
What happens to checks that cannot be collected electronically?
In the event a returned check is not eligible for collection via RCK, or those efforts have been exhausted, Re$ubmitIt® will conduct secondary collection efforts. You are contacted to approve any further collection efforts requiring legal services, such as filing suit to obtain judgment and payment. In such cases, you will receive a percentage of the collected face value, depending on the amount of the check and the steps necessary to collect it.
Do I need to notify my customers?
Yes. You must notify customers of the Re$ubmitIt® electronic check recovery policy by posting notification at the point of sale, or by including notification on invoices, work orders, etc.

The arrival of the Ministers meant a new series of speeches, country by country, some with news of extra financing for biodiversity. Meanwhile there is mounting pressure on all stakeholders to make compromises in order to reach agreement by the end of this week.
The arrival of the ministers and celebrities has given a new stimulus to achieve concrete results here at the CBD COP10.
COP a load of some BirdLife pictures sent directly from BirdLife staff at the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) meeting in Nagoya...
The crucial second week of the conference has begun and today's schedule takes me from one meeting to another.
Today, all the working groups reported on their progress, and everywhere you look there are problems unresolved. COP10 is hardly a step further than when it started on Monday.
There are serious concerns for the success of this important summit. For wherever you look at the issues on the negotiation table, more problems are appearing than being resolved.
The new TEEB report shows that it makes economic sense to protect and restore biodiversity.
The opening statements of almost all developing countries made it clear that they are here on an "all or nothing" ask
The expectations for the COP10 conference are high, judging by the speeches of the leaders at its opening ceremony.

Threw up a Photoshop grid onto the image, each square divided into 5 sections so I can keep the constraints on my walls uniformed. I generally like to take up up 2 fifths of a square for a thin room wall (a fifth on either side of a square tile so that the wall doesn't each up too much of an accessible square).
Making the guides isn't always necessary, but given the amount of brick work that is going to take place I didn't want to keep confusing myself and make the walls too large, or start drawing too much into a square, etc. So the guides will at least give me a consistent size throughout the map.
Next step is doing the basic inking on top, where I'll probably add in the walls brickwork as I go... this may take some time.

Comments On Jul 26, 2011:I bought a 04 warrior 1700 with only 1600 miles on the factory dunlop D220's. Both tires were already worn, and the rear was flat in the center. I put 1000 miles on it in town and went on a 1300 mile trip with in the first 6 month's of owning the bike. Now the rear tire is showing belts and needs replaced at 4000 miles on my bike. Would not recomend this tire.

Stir with Ice, 16"x20" oil on linenFrom the moment I started painting classic cocktails I've been thinking about how to best depict "the stir." It is an elegant technique that is one of the core rituals in cocktail making along with "the shake." When done with expertise, stirring a drink with ice brings out the perfect balance of taste, temperature and texture. The unique Japanese mixing glass heightens the beauty of the stir in such a way that it is no wonder why it has become a staple in so many great bars. Of course this wouldn't be a proper stir if not for those large blocks of ice being twisted around. Ice of all forms is such an important element in the cocktail for both it's use and aesthetic. Watching the ice melt and chill the glass while the drink reaches its finished product is a lovely sight indeed.
