Scan any supermarket produce section and what do you see? Rows of brightly hued, blemish-free fruits and vegetables. They're gorgeous. But plants, like people, have natural imperfections—and some require more help than others to look good, not to mention maintain their youthful looks as they age.
Get a printable copy of our Organic Fruits and Veggies Shopping Guide.
In the plant world, the equivalent of beauty products are the dozens of chemicals that farmers use to fend off insects, pests, weeds, fungal attacks, and rot. Not surprisingly, plants that are more vulnerable to attack need more of them. To help you tell which is which (and, therefore, which are best to eat organic, as opposed to those you can buy conventionally to save money), the Environmental Working Group publishes two lists—the Dirty Dozen and the Clean 15. The EWG rankings are based on USDA-tested levels of chemical residues that remain on conventionally raised fruits and vegetables after washing. Revised lists came out in spring 2010, with a couple of surprising new additions.
Read on to discover the 12 fruits and veggies best bought organic—and 15 that are safe to eat conventionally grown.

iolo System Mechanic 14.5 reviewTechRadar Pro
iolo's System Mechanic PC maintenance software performs a series of operations to make your computer run faster.
iolo's System Mechanic PC maintenance software performs a series of operations to make your computer run faster.
System Mechanic is a wildly popular PC cleansing tool for people looking to jumpstart their computers. Does the latest update live up to previous versions?
Improve your PC's performance with Iolo's system optimisation tools
Cleaning out your Registry, startup items and other Windows tweaks are all free to execute, but there still exists a trade in so-called system tuners. Largely, these products fail to live up to expectations. Many either do very little or are too destructive in the way they purge system files.
iolo technologies is so achingly cool that it doesn't use capital letters in its name. Its System Shield 3 is similarly pared down as the software contains only the bare essentials of anti-virus, anti-spyware and a firewall for online protection.
Contrary to popular belief, deleted files on your laptop are not gone forever. Often they can be retrieved, even when deleted from your recycle bin. Offering simple data recovery is Iolo Search and Recover 4(£21 inc. VAT).
System Mechanic (£50 inc. VAT) is a set of tools designed to help you keep your laptop running, if not improving its performance
We've all deleted things by mistake. Microsoft aims to tackle this problem with Vista by adding an unlimited 'undelete' function that should enable you to rollback to any previous version of a document or deleted file.
There's no getting away from it: System Mechanic 6 offers very similar functionality to Norton's SystemWorks 2006 and most obviously, SAD's TuneUp 2006. Each application offers a suite of tools designed to keep your computer secure.
As system utilities go, almost every tool needed to keep things ticking over is already available to Windows users. Those of us familiar with the regular housekeeping duties will no doubt feel the necessity of such a package is surplus to requirements

Name Meaning
I read in this forum that "Yahiko" means "vulgar" or "mean child", while here it means "Increasing + Boy". Should we put the name meaning up in the trivia or something? Yatanogarasu 08:53, March 10 2010 (UTC)
- Best to ask ShounenSuki, he/she is the expert in Japanese for the wiki.
¥Super Novice ↔ Talk 2 Me ¥16:55, March 10, 2010 (UTC)
- I sincerely wonder who translated Yahiko's name into mean/vulgar child. The first kanji of his name means increasingly and carries the meaning of something becoming greater. The second kanji is a poetic word for boy and comes from child of the sun (日子).
- There is no negative meaning in Yahiko's name that I was able to find. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 12:52, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
Yahiko's age
Yahiko's age concerns me a little. Nagato said that when Hanzô killed Yahiko they "were just children" (chapter 446, pg12), yet his approximated age stands as 25-30. Shouldn't he logically be 20+-3, as most people are largely fully grown by then (explaining his height), as it seems to me that the assumption of Yahiko being older merely stems from his emotionless face. However, personally I would prefer not to write down any age. --89'
- When Choji is describing the Deva Path, he says it looks to be between 25 and 30 years of age. ~SnapperTo 18:16, July 4, 2010 (UTC)
- Did you check the japanese version? It could be mistranslated (young as in young adult translating into child, maybe?). We've all established that he did live to at least 25. --BeeBwakka (talk) 15:48, August 12, 2010 (UTC)
Shouldn't Yahiko's info box picture be changed to the one in the anime? Peruzka (talk) 20:20, September 25, 2010 (UTC) Peruzka
- Normally, that's what we would do, but because there's one big difference from his actual depiction in the manga (blue eyes), we keep the manga image until there's an anime image of him with blue eyes. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:23, September 25, 2010 (UTC)
Should we put a picture of him as an adult in his info box? 22.214.171.124 (talk) 18:00, January 1, 2013 (UTC) NaruHina4ever
- No, that's not how he was introduced. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:43, January 1, 2013 (UTC)
Feelings for Konan & Madara's words
I think the page needs two changes: 1) We should add that Yahiko showed romantic feelings towards Konan, just was done for the page dedicated to Konan; 2) I think that the sentece "and having been persuaded by Madara, Yahiko formed Akatsuki in an attempt to save their village and the world" is wrong and it should be changed: Madara has only said that he encouraged Yahiko to create Akatsuki, but as far as we know, the boy could also be mesmerized with the sharingan in a way similar to the Mizukage and not really persuased. I don't think so, but for now we can't say anything definite about this argument and I think we should write: "According to Madara, Yahiko was persuaded by him to create the Akatsuki, in an attempt to..."--JK88 (talk) 22:04, September 30, 2010 (UTC)
If your parents died in war and you were all along , hungry ,and had nowhere to go, then one day you walk the street and meet someone else in the same situation what do you think would happen? They loved each other sure, but they were a family already. They went throw so much together that it would be impossible for them not to act accordingly. After he passed you would probably say she felt the same way about Nagato, but it's too vague to know for sure. All we know is that she cared for them deeply because they were all she had. Also even if Mardara did encourage him he just used that same reason to use him like he did Nagato.If you know how someone feels about something its easy to persuade them to do stuff and make them feel like their making it up. EX Nagato hated the leaf Mardara nudged him to go get the nine-tails because he knew if he went he would destroy it because of his view of justice. Yahiko wanted to strengthen the rain so if mardara did have anything to do with it it was still because of that reason that he started it.TwinRisingDragons (talk) 05:59, October 1, 2010 (UTC)
Main Image.
In his main image he is a child, but he died at the age of 25-30!So why do not we add this image:, and his current image call as "Yahiko as a child"?!--Gaara95 (talk) 18:25, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
- See two sections above. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:54, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
Adult voice
Was it just me, or was Yahiko adult voice actor the same as Pain, Ken'yū Horiuchi? According to Wikipedia he was (but we all know someone could have just written that there, right?) But I could swear it's the same voice actor. If it was, shouldn't that be added to his infobox? --Kai Maciel (talk) 21:14, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
Apparence Section Missing
Shouldn't we add to Yahiko the "Appearance" section like all the other characters?--JK88 (talk) 01:54, November 12, 2010 (UTC)
True.--NinjaSheik 01:55, November 12, 2010 (UTC)
Yahiko died in WWII
WWII was a war between Suna-, Konoha- and Iwagakure, right? Nagato said that the war between those countries still waged when Hanzō and his men killed Yahiko (ch. 446), thus Yahiko died during WWII and not WWIII- Seelentau 愛議 16:45, September 19, 2012 (UTC)
- Wow. That's a long-assed war ._. but according to Nagato himself, it was in fact SWWII, not three.--Cerez365™(talk) 16:54, September 19, 2012 (UTC)
- There've been longer ones, at least in real life. So you're agreeing with me? On the other hand, Danzō and Yahiko himself are way older during the battle with Hanzō, than they were in WWII... Seelentau 愛議 17:32, September 19, 2012 (UTC)
- Not too sure, I'm rubbish at stuff like this. From what I've read in the articles the same nations were involved in both wars, so it kinda seems like SWWIII is a direct carry over from SWWII. So maybe that's what Nagato meant when he said that the war was still waging o.O? Either way it does seem as though there was a "break" in the war.--Cerez365™(talk) 17:36, September 19, 2012 (UTC)
- ah, I thought Tobirama died in WWII, but it was WWI. Then it makes sense, since Yahiko doesn't look that much older. So Yahiko died in WWII. Seelentau 愛議 17:42, September 19, 2012 (UTC)

- "Those pages do confirm that the uprising of Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan against Hanzō and Danzō was during the Third war". 188.8.131.52 (talk) 18:31, September 19, 2012 (UTC)
Since Nagato was circa 42 in Part II. and the war had ended circa (at least) 16 years ago, it was of course the 3rd war.--Elveonora (talk) 23:02, September 19, 2012 (UTC)
Ame orphans were children when Sannin receive their title, which was during WW2, meaning they were adults during WW3. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:38, September 20, 2012 (UTC)
ah... Suki-senpai never translated that bit, I didn't know about it. Time to edit my timeline, again~ Seelentau 愛議 08:42, September 20, 2012 (UTC)
- Edit: My bad, he actually did:
- //Many shinobi organisations were also created…!! During the great wars, people appeared who formed shinobi organisations, collecting their characteristic military power.
- During battles for supremacy, they became useful as valued war potential, but too much power was regarded as dangerous and was even destroyed…
- I checked the original, too. It says nothing about the war Akatsuki was formed in. Including what Nagato said about the war Yahiko died in, it is more likely that he talked about WWII. Seelentau 愛議 08:50, September 20, 2012 (UTC)
- Oooon the other hand, it could be like this: Yahiko died 1BN. That means he was born ~26 BN and trained by Jiraiya ~18 BN, being 12 years old. This would fit, since Nagato was ~10 at that time, Yahiko doesn't look like he was that much older... *sigh* Kishimoto needs to publish a fourth databook! ._. Seelentau 愛議 09:23, September 20, 2012 (UTC)
- While making a series of fanbook-related edits, ShounenSuki made this edit. It may not be from the section devoted to the wars, but it obviously comes from somewhere in the fanbook. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 16:18, September 20, 2012 (UTC)
- He's not free of mistakes. Seelentau 愛議 19:35, September 20, 2012 (UTC)
- True. Yet relying on him to be wrong in order to support a theory does not bode well for the theory.
- I don't know Japanese, but unless Yahiko and company are featured on the WW3 page for kicks, ShounenSuki was correct. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 06:31, September 21, 2012 (UTC)
The two world wars were probably just really interrelated. I know wars usually are but these two seem like one directly spilled over into a next generation.--Cerez365™(talk) 10:35, September 21, 2012 (UTC)
I'm just saying he could've had a wrong/different opinion on this. As I said, the Japanese text does not say anything about Akatsuki being founded in WWIII and Nagato's words about the war Yahiko died in suggest he died in WWII. Anyway, I think this is too much into speculation, let's just leave it as it is. Should hopefully be cleared in the next databook. Seelentau 愛議 12:30, September 21, 2012 (UTC)
Definitely 3rd war, Nagato and Konan were circa 42 as of my calculations when they died, there's circa 11 years difference between Kakashi and Nagato and the former was 9 during the 3rd war, meaning Yahiko was 20 back then, meaning he died at the very end of 3rd Shinobi World War, too bad :-/--Elveonora (talk) 17:54, April 14, 2013 (UTC)
In the chapter 607 it's stated that Yahiko as a young man changed his "eye for an eye" philosophy. When the Ame Orphans met Tobi, Yahiko told him that he wanted a world where people would understand each other instead of taking revenge --22.214.171.124 (talk) 21:09, October 24, 2012 (UTC)
- You obviously read a bad translation, or didn't properly read the chapter. Yahiko clearly says that the "knowing pain" he mentioned wasn't revenge. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:56, October 24, 2012 (UTC)
if we dont count Nagato's debut until Jiraiyas flashback, why don't we do the same with Yahiko? His corpse is hardly the same as Yahiko. Either list Nagato's debut as "Pain's" debut, or have them both listed as debuting in Jiraiya's flashback.--RexGodwin (talk) 00:44, March 14, 2013 (UTC)
- Huh, never noticed we didn't do that for Yahiko. Though technically, I think his first appearance would be when we fully see him as the Deva Path, when Konan says Obito has arrived. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:23, March 14, 2013 (UTC)
So whats the verdict? i can go both ways; but i'd like to list Nagato's debut as "Pain". It'd feel weird to have his presecence as the Akatsuki leader not have a debut until we learn of Nagato. Although i do think having Pains debut separated from nagato would be the best choice, but i think most people here wouldnt use that..--RexGodwin (talk) 01:43, March 14, 2013 (UTC)

(a) In general
The Commission and each State commission with regulatory jurisdiction over telecommunications services shall encourage the deployment on a reasonable and timely basis of advanced telecommunications capability to all Americans (including, in particular, elementary and secondary schools and classrooms) by utilizing, in a manner consistent with the public interest, convenience, and necessity, price cap regulation, regulatory forbearance, measures that promote competition in the local telecommunications market, or other regulating methods that remove barriers to infrastructure investment.
(b) Inquiry
The Commission shall, within 30 months after February 8, 1996, and annually thereafter, initiate a notice of inquiry concerning the availability of advanced telecommunications capability to all Americans (including, in particular, elementary and secondary schools and classrooms) and shall complete the inquiry within 180 days after its initiation. In the inquiry, the Commission shall determine whether advanced telecommunications capability is being deployed to all Americans in a reasonable and timely fashion. If the Commission's determination is negative, it shall take immediate action to accelerate deployment of such capability by removing barriers to infrastructure investment and by promoting competition in the telecommunications market.
(c) Demographic information for unserved areas
As part of the inquiry required by subsection (b), the Commission shall compile a list of geographical areas that are not served by any provider of advanced telecommunications capability (as defined by subsection (d)(1)) [1] and to the extent that data from the Census Bureau is available, determine, for each such unserved area—
(d) Definitions
For purposes of this subsection: [2]
(1) Advanced telecommunications capability
The term "advanced telecommunications capability" is defined, without regard to any transmission media or technology, as high-speed, switched, broadband telecommunications capability that enables users to originate and receive high-quality voice, data, graphics, and video telecommunications using any technology.

A Pitt County man accused of brutally beating a woman is off the streets and behind bars.
Greenville police arrested 40-year-old Sherman Smith of Ayden. Officials say he kidnapped a 40-year-old woman Monday, and beat her badly. The woman is being treated for broken ribs, a collapsed lung, severe bruising on various parts of the upper body, a black eye, and a cut lip. Police say Smith also cut her throat when he held a knife to it.
Smith's bond is set at $300,000.
Greenville police originally reported the victim as a 16-year-old girl but later corrected that to say she is a 40-year-old woman.

What were the key events that led to the War of the Roses occurring in England during the 15th century. Was there any particular event that was the tipping point?
One of the events that led to the War of the Roses was the birth of a son, Edward, Prince of Wales, to (Lancastrian) King Henry VI, and his Queen, Margaret of Anjou.
Prior to that time, Richard, Duke of York (a cousin) had been next in line to the throne, and therefore had no incentive to fight. The birth of Henry's son "disinherited" him.

- Harry Potter: "Have it your way. Expelliarmus"
- Lord Voldemort: "{at the same time) Avada Kedavra"
- — The words that start the Priori Incantem[src]
Priori Incantatem is a magical phenomenon that can occur when two wands which share the same source for their cores are forced to compete in combat. It is sometimes referred to as the "reverse-spell effect". It can also be induced by analytical spells, like an extension of the Prior Incantato spell.
During a wand duel, a simultaneous spellcasting by both parties with twin wand cores will trigger an effect whereby both wands are linked through separate threads of spell energy. The two wand holders then compete in a battle of wills, in which the loser's wand is forced to display in ghostly form the spells which had been cast by said wand, in order of most recent to least recent. If any of those spells are Killing Curses, the victims will appear in ghost-like form, capable of holding a conversation with nearby living beings. When the spells come into contact they send out a seismic pulse which has enough force to knock onlookers from their feet. When the spells meet, they intertwine, making it difficult for either caster to break the connection. A spell-like residue falls from the core of the connection, possibly representing the wills of the casters and the energy of the incantations. A dome effect occurs during the connection, in order to keep any intruders from attacking either wizard or witch. The sound of the connection is similar to electrical arcs.
The effect is similar to the spell Prior Incantato, (but this spell does not need a wand connection) which causes the targeted wand to recall its last spells.
Known Instances
The only widely-known instance of Priori Incantatem came about in 1995, at the graveyard in Little Hangleton, when Harry Potter first duelled with the resurrected Lord Voldemort. The two wands in question both had a phoenix feather at their core from Fawkes, pet of Albus Dumbledore.
- Priori Incantatem rarely ever happens when two opponents forcibly use their wands in battle. The reason it happened during the 1995 duel between Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort is due to the cores their wands shared; since the wands recognised each other as "brothers", they refused to destroy each other, and when spurred on, the dominant (Harry's) forced the submissive to regurgitate its spells.
A possible etymology for Priori Incantatem is prior incarnation, refering to its effect of "regurgitating" previous spells. However, the Latin literally means "prior incantation" or "previous spell"; more literally, an incantation is a spell spoken aloud.
Behind the scenes.
- During the duel, Voldemort's wand emitted "echoing screams of pain", which may refer to the Cruciatus Curse he used earlier on both Harry and Wormtail (when punishing the latter for letting Barty Crouch Sr. escape).
- Throughout the film adaptations there are several instances in which two wizards, while duelling, find themselves locking spells with their opponent, using Priori Incantatem. However, this may be disregarded, as all occurrences (save for the one in Goblet of Fire) lack key elements of Priori Incantatem, such as the "regurgitation" of spells performed by the wands, and the presence of two different wand cores. David Yates has admitted that he did want wands to connect in the movies for effect. Instances of this include Albus Dumbledore and Lord Voldemort during the Duel in the Ministry Atrium in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix; a Death Eater and Arthur Weasley in the Battle of Hogwarts in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2; and Harry Potter (using Draco Malfoy's wand) and Lord Voldemort (using the Elder Wand) several times during Voldemort's Last Stand, also in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. From the in-universe perspective it can be explained that the Elder Wand couldn't lose a duel and, in last-mentioned case of connection, refused to kill its master (Harry).

Oldham County may have stumbled to a 1-2 record in district play but that didn't matter much Friday night as the boys in blue made their first big wave of the postseason, edging rival South Oldham 59-52 for the school's third straight 29th District championship.
"That's probably one of the best high school games that I've been a part of," Oldham County coach Jason Holland said. "A lot of runs by both teams and a lot of good defense by both teams, a lot of big plays from both teams and a lot of great coaching."

Here are the basics, there are a whole lot of things to consider but these are the simplest things:
1. Water flows downhill. It will not flow from the plains up and over a mountain chain to some other plains area.
2. Lots of rivers and streams flow into a lake but there is only one that flows out. That one might have some little delta-like thing branching at the start but they will join up to form one river channel and the area with the softest dirt to cut into or the steepest angle to flow down will eventually win out producing one outflowing channel. The known exceptions are: an endorheic basin which forms below sea level so therefore has no outflow; and a crater lake.
3. Rivers wander all over the place and vary in width...flat = fat (generally).
4. Rivers don't split and stay split except in deltas. They may go around a more dense chunk of rock to form and island but they rejoin rather quickly. The reason that they don't rejoin in deltas is that the area is too flat so they wander around like tweens at a sock-hop and they dump into the ocean before they can get a chance to rejoin. This is the biggest thing that people mess up. They usually make these giant deltas and forget about scale. We try to encourage the analogy of a tree - put the branches in the mountains, put the trunk on the plains, and put some tiny tiny roots near the coast.
5. Rivers do not flow so that they connect two oceans or two separate parts of the same ocean. You could have a man-made canal, though.
6. Don't rely on "magic" to explain things away - that's bad physics and would require so much power that only a god could maintain it.
Here is a link to a good discussion:

PVE is fun, rewards for free players are good too (10 gold per day and an additional 30 per week if you play in arena for a certain amount of games).
However, PVP is still pay to win (Taiwanese version of this game was released 6 months ago, and there are next to no free players in 1v1 ladder). Almost every card free player uses has a legendary (5*) or godlike (6*) version, so even if both players use the same card, the one with higher rarity usually has an advantage.
Btw, this is a Chinese game.

- Day after, Broncos lament chance that slipped away vs. Ravens
- Jan 12:
- Broncos and fans shocked, disappointed, upset after loss to Ravens
- Ravens return to Baltimore powered by redemption
- Big Baltimore plays gash Denver defense in Broncos loss
When fans reflect on the Broncos loss to Baltimore, it will be big plays that get most of the attention.The 70-yard missle shot up the sideline here. The misplayed ball there. The interceptions, fumbles and returns for touchdowns.
But how the Broncos fared on some of the smallest plays of the day, the ones that needed to cover just one or two yards, also had a lot to say about the shocking double overtime loss.
They also say a lot about what the Broncos' offense needs to address for 2013 if they are to be a Super Bowl contender.
The Broncos faced six situations Saturday of third-and-2 or less when they tried to run the ball. They had one third-and-2 and five third-and-1s.They converted just three of those plays.
Ravens 38, Broncos 35 (2OT)

- Contribute to The Bronco Bus fan forum.
- Ask Mike Klis about the game in the Broncos Mailbag.
- Scan Broncos 2012 schedule.
Either the Denver offensive line couldn't get the play blocked, or their running backs couldn't break tackles. But the offense won't be all it needs to be until the Broncos can run the ball when they want to, especially in end-of-game situations or when they need a short conversion to keep a drive going.
They don't have to dominate in the run game, but they do have to be functional. And that means picking up 3rd-and-short with a run.
The Broncos lost their best inside runner when Willis McGahee sustained a knee injury against San Diego. McGahee's backup, Knowshon Moreno, went down to a knee injury Saturday.
And the offensive line, with a backup center, Dan Koppen, and right guard Chris Kuper having missed nine full games this season, was unable to carve up enough room in the middle of the field Saturday.
Ronnie Hillman converted his only third-and-1 chance with a 1-yard run, but the Broncos didn't convert a third-and-2 and didn't convert two third-and-1s when Jacob Hester, a player the team signed Nov. 26, carried the ball.One of those plays was wiped out by a Kuper penalty that pushed the Broncos back 10 yards.
But it's clear, even with Peyton Manning at quarterback, the Broncos will need to address their running game in the coming draft and free agency seasons. Because with all that went on Saturday night, if the Broncos could have gained a yard or two when they really needed to, they would still be playing this weekend.

This is a 2003 horror thriller. Take a group of kids in their twenties and have them drive into the back woods of West Virginia where a family who after years of inbreeding have produced mutant looking children and you have yourself a classic hunt the fresh meat and kill most of them but the last one (or two usually a couple) turn the tables and kill the mutants and survive the ordeal. This would make a good addition to your horror viewing for Halloween. In this Wrong Turn movie you have stars like Eliza Dushu (known for her role as a Slayer in the Buffy series) and Jeremy Sisto (who looks majorly different than he does now on the TV series Suburgatory but his voice is still the same, very distinctive). We start the movie following Chris as he drives a very nice mustang along the highway. There is an accident which ties up traffic and Chris tries to find an alternate route. Driving through back roads trying to hurry and make up time when WHAM he smacks into the back end of a SUV that is in the road. Turns out the SUV had driven over barb wire that was placed across the road to snare its victims. Of course cell phones do not work so a group of them head off in search of a phone and one couple stay behind with the car. And it begins. The couple who stayed behind are killed in a grotesque manner. We see the girl looking for her boyfriend and she finds his shoe and then BAM a string of barb wire is wrapped around her head through her mouth and practically cuts her in half. It would be just as deadly around her throat but through her mouth gives you the willies and is therefore a better way to kill in a horror movie designed to give you those thrills. Then the hunt is on for the other victims. We see the mutants and their deformed heads and their disheveled appearance. We find their house and see a stew with body parts. These mutant may be deformed, look hideous and probably have not bathed in years but boy are they fast, and strong. You can be running away from them, lose sight of them and then suddenly find them ahead of you blocking your way. You can knock them out of a tree from so far up you can barely see the ground and yet they get up and dust themselves off, laugh manically and scamper away. I saw this movie back in 2003 and when it came through the library as a new acquisition I watched it again and it kept my attention. Check it out, if you are into mutants hunting down teenagers and mutilating them.

Icy, it was stated that Emana was nerfed not because OP, but to prevent OP with 4* Emana. Whether Emana is powerful on her own doesn't address that central point and the Ex card is more powerful with 4* Emana than 5* Emana would have been had she not been nerfed.
Emana is not playable outside of tribe. She requires at least one, but preferably two other Mermaid cards to be useful, which is significant.
Ex perm. debuffs opponent as well.
Basically, you shouldn't have tried answering that because there is only stupidity behind the whole series of events that no explanation could hide. Hence, the silence.
As an aside, if there's any interaction that should have been prevented, it's Emana & Mystere. It's comical that they tried to enable Mermaid Aquamancer with some of the buffs without acknowledging that the greatest deterrent to playing Aquamancer is that Emana & Mystere are supremely more efficient. I don't expect an explanation to that point either.

The funniest/strangest thing that ever happened to me, well that's hard because there is many but the most strangest/funniest thing that ever happened to me was when I was at the park and when I thought I saw my mom I ran up to her and gave her this huge hug and I also, jumped on her back and she just kept screaming. When I got off of her back and looked at her I realized she wasn't my mom. I felt so stupid, I wanted to disappear. After I talked to her and told her I thought she was my mom she said she wouldn't press charges. This was the most strangest and funniest by far!

Fox River
Inventory and Assessment for the Fox River Watershed
The Fox River basin is a relatively small system of streams which drains 400 square miles in northeastern Missouri and southeastern Iowa upstream of the gage station on Fox River at Wayland, Missouri. Average annual discharge at the gage station is 258 cubic feet per second. The four largest streams in the basin are Fox River (52 miles long in Missouri), Little Fox River (24 miles in Missouri), Honey Creek (36 miles), and Sugar Creek (16 miles). Stream gradients average 3.0 feet per mile on Fox River, 5.0 feet per mile on Little Fox River, 6.7 feet per mile on Honey Creek, and 13.2 feet per mile on Sugar Creek.
Approximately 20% of basin stream mileage is channelized. While the Fox River itself is virtually unaltered, channelized reaches comprise 49% of Little Fox River, 41% of Sugar Creek, and 28% of Honey Creek.
Sedimentation is the only significant form of water pollution in the basin, but it threatens the integrity of the entire ecosystem. In 1984, the watershed was 63% cropland, 16% grassland, and 20% timber. The USDA Soil Conservation Service estimated that annual sediment delivery to the Fox and Wyaconda rivers averaged 3 tons per acre from the 483,780 acres which comprise the combined watersheds; this ranked ninth among 45 Missouri subbasins in rate of sediment delivery to stream channels. This sediment load equates to dumping 100,000 large truck loads of earth fill into these streams annually.
We have documented a reduction in Fox River base flow between the periods 1922-1952 and 1953-1980. Hydrological problems are most probably tied to land use practices which have diminished the moisture retention capacity of basin soils. These net adverse effects have been measurable despite a 5.8% increase in basin timber between 1939 and 1984, indicating that type of vegetative cover alone may not have as significant an effect on basin hydrology as the manner in which cover types are managed. From the 1950s through the 1980s, an increasing dependency on heavy machinery and chemical methods for producing crops has compacted the soil and reduced its organic matter content, thereby reducing its capacity to retain moisture.
The largely agricultural population of Clark County is generally unaware of the adverse effects that channelization, levee construction, riparian corridor clearing, and high-impact agriculture have had on basin streams.
In 1987, a Department of Conservation survey added 16 species to the annotated list of fishes known to the Missouri portion of the Fox River basin, which now number 52. Most fishes in our 1987 samples were widespread, tolerant species.
A statewide telephone survey revealed that 67% of Fox River anglers fished primarily for channel catfish. Our 1987 fish population surveys revealed that most channel catfish (84%) were small (<11 inches). Only 18% of 11-inch-and-larger channel catfish were of "quality" size (16 inches). We suspect that there is insufficient depth and current during much of the year to provide habitat suitable for quality-size channel catfish; they may migrate downstream to the Mississippi River prior to the onset of low-flow conditions. We also feel that migration of adult flathead catfish may significantly influence their density at any point in time. Out 1987 survey yielded only 28 flathead catfish, most small; yet several anglers have reported catching big flatheads during high-flow periods in late spring and early summer. Before we can manage catfish populations in the Fox River basin, we must know whether exploitable stocks are stable or transient. Also, we must learn which methods and times for sampling will provide meaningful information.
Relative to other stream basins in northeastern Missouri, Fox River receives very little attention by anglers or floaters. Boating and canoeing on all tributaries and most of Fox River is hampered by shallow water, log jams, and low base flow. Even though recreational use of basin streams seems low relative to the availability of public stream frontage, there are some unique habitats which might be enjoyed if they were accessible.
Out 25-year strategic plan for the Fox River basin contains goals for the Fisheries Management Section of the Missouri Department of Conservation to improve aquatic habitat, maintain fish species richness and increase density of large sport fish, and increase appreciation for and accessibility to basin streams.
In order to improve aquatic habitat, we should do our best to prevent additional channelization projects, implement stream corridor management plans on public areas, convince basin farmers to engage in low-input sustainable agriculture and use acceptable methods for managing their riparian corridors, and cooperate with others in maintaining base flow at or above current levels.
In order to approach our goal for fish community integrity, we propose to maintain at least 50 native species of fish and to achieve "balanced" populations of channel and flathead catfish in basin streams. An important first step will be to learn enough about catfish migration patterns and catfish population survey methods to define seasonal parameters which may indicate whether "balance" exists in prairie streams.
In order to increase appreciation for and accessibility to basin streams, we should provide public access to the most unique and scenic reaches of basin streams and ensure that all potential stream anglers and floaters have access to information about recreational opportunities at these areas. To achieve this, we propose to amend the Department of Conservation's Stream Areas Acquisition Plan, develop a brochure, and generally facilitate public awareness and involvement with basin streams.
This document was made possible through the diligent efforts of several individuals. Dwight Snead (SCS) provided invaluable land use information. Ken Brummett (MDC) provided support and insightful comments throughout the investigation. Randy Haydon and Kyle Reno (MDC) assisted in habitat and fish sampling. Randy Haydon also processed a significant amount of data on the computer. Mark Reigle (MDC) wrote the computer program MAPWORK, thereby saving a considerable amount of time and increasing our stream mapping accuracy. Dave Neuswanger (MDC) reviewed and revised the descriptive part of this document and prepared the planning section and executive summary. Rich Wehnes and Steve Eder (MDC) provided many helpful comments which were incorporated into the plan.

Even some school superintendents who planned for the loss say the cutbacks are eroding public confidence in the state's ability to pay its bills. But Republicans who supported the curtailment point out that school departments are still receiving more state funding than they did a year ago. A.J. Higgins has more.
Faced with closing a revenue shortfall with only six months left in the current budget cycle, Gov. Paul LePage was forced to take aim at the General Purpose Aid account that provides state funding for more than 200 Maine school departments. Communities across the state will now have to absorb a funding cut of a little more than $12.5 million. But as Sawin Millet, the governor's chief of finance says, it's not as though Maine school districts weren't forewarned.
"Having three, four, five, six months of planning opportunity, many of them had already begun freezing discretionary spending, delaying purchases - I think most superintendents had already begun planning on this eventuality," Millett says. "The feedback we've gotten is that in many cases, they expected it would be much worse."
But for some superintendents, Millet's rationalization is painfully illogical. Frank Sherburne is superintendent of schools for SAD 6 in the Buxton area.
"His statement that, you know, there's a benefit to this because it's less than what was projected - any amount that you cut from education after you have given a proposal hurts," Sherburne says.
Sherburne says he and his school committee prepared for a possible state curtailment by building contingencies into his budget. SAD 6 lost about $290,000 in state funding as the result of the state reduction - the third in five years. The end result, Sherburne says, is a growing sense that the state's financial assumptions are not working.
"There ought to be greater trust in how the state is calculating and projecting revenue," Sherburne says. "We're held very accountable as superintendents and as school districts to our budget and maintaining our budget and projecting a budget that's going to be applicable to a fiscal year. It seems that as though the state doesn't have that same ability to project and make accurate projections to meet the needs that they have obligated themselves to."
"What I hear over and over is that people don't trust the funding formula," says Maine Senate President Justin Alfond. "They always feel they should be getting more or somehow the funding formula hurts rural Maine or hurts urban Maine."
Alfond, a Portland Democrat, says a pending independent evaluation of the state Essential Programs and Services formula that determines each district's share of state funding is long overdue. The report is expected next year, and Alfond says the Legislature should be able to advance legislation that will improve the system.
House Republican Leader Ken Fredette say his hometown of Newport is facing a school funding challenge. Regional School Unit 19 will meet next week to consider the possibility of seeking a union wide referendum vote on a $2.9 million loan to balance the school budget.
The union lost about $108,000 dollars as the result of the curtailment, but Fredette says that even with that reduction, the union and other Maine schools are still receiving more money from the state than they did last year.
"While school districts are going to have to factor this into their bottom line, this is certainly an increase over funding that they were seeing under the Baldacci administration earlier in the decade," Fredette says.
The Legislature's Appropriations Committee is scheduled to take up education curtailment and other budget cuts next week.

Reggie Bullock's gamble to leave the University of North Carolina a year early to enter the NBA draft payed off as the former Kinston High School star was drafted in the 1st round by the Los Angeles Clippers.
Bullock helped the Kinston High School Vikings to two state titles while appearing in three state championship games overall.
At UNC, Bullock averaged 13.9 points per game and shot 43.6 percent on 3-point attempts as a junior. He was also the teams #2 rebounder and NBA teams like the fact that he is an above average defender.

Jones & Vandermeer Follows Thread of Sustainability Throughout Operations
It all started with a ball of yarn. It inspired the founders of Jones & Vandermeer to undertake a year-long adventure to find beautiful, rare, and sustainably created yarns and fabrics, then make those products available to their customers. They carry organic fabrics and have recently launched their own line of organic and fair trade cotton alpaca yarn infused with copper.
Jones and Vandermeer, the owners' dogs, taught them that world is a beautiful place on which to tread lightly and try to leave it better than we found it. By sourcing products from around the globe and getting it to customers as quickly and conveniently as possible, packages must board trucks or planes in the process.
To reduce their carbon footprint, Jones & Vandermeer joined the Carbonfree® Business Partnership program and has renewed that commitment for the past five years. In that time, Jones & Vandermeer has neutralized 395,000 pounds of greenhouse gases, the same quantity as released by combusting over 20,000 gallons of gasoline.
Jones & Vandermeer prints certain product tags and paper materials through a certified green printer, using 100% recycled paper and environmentally friendly soy-based inks. Products are wrapped in either 100% recycled tissue paper or reusable cotton bags, where possible. Jones & Vandermeer understands how to follow the thread of sustainability throughout its operations, and Carbonfund.org is proud to partner with them in these efforts.
Fireclay Tile Neutralizes Annual Operational Emissions with Carbonfund.org
When Carbonfund.org Foundation was created ten years ago with the motto "reduce what you can, offset what you can't™", we knew we were positioning ourselves as the last-in-line solution in sustainability plans. The climate change education component to our mission is a very important one, and a significant portion of our website is dedicated to providing ways that businesses and individuals can reduce their carbon footprint before considering carbon offsetting strategies.
This approach has attracted businesses that take seriously their responsibility to seek out recycling, reuse, energy efficiency and emissions reduction opportunities. Fireclay Tile, a California-based sustainable tile manufacturer, is a great example.
"We are scavengers at heart and scrappy when it comes to saving resources; therefore we are committed to finding new and innovative ways to reuse cast off materials, and to incorporate sustainability into all levels of our manufacturing process, explains Eric Edelson, CEO of Fireclay Tile. "We chose to partner with Carbonfund.org simply because tile is heavy, and we wanted to offset the carbon footprint created by shipping our tile all over the world."
Fireclay Tile's Carbonfree® Business and Shipping program is a final step in the company's commitment to environmental sustainability. Fireclay uses Carbonfund.org's online business calculator to compute annual carbon emissions from office energy usage, business travel, and product shipping and delivery. The resulting offset donation supports forestry initiatives around the world that sequester carbon dioxide in formal third-party validated, verified and audited projects.
Fireclay's unique process includes made-to-order tile using recycled materials and sustainable manufacturing practices in their California operations. Their recycled clay body boasts of over 70% recycled materials, which include post-consumer glass, granite dust, and porcelain from toilets collected to back water conservation efforts in the Bay Area. Fireclay's glass tiles line is composed of 100% recycled glass from local window and solar panel production industries.
Fireclay maintains onsite recycling practices that include water reclamation at cutting and mixing stations, along with rainwater capture at their Aromas, CA factory. Glaze overspray is captured at each glazing station and is included with all scrap material and anything considered defective, then crushed into an aggregate for making the recycled clay. All orders are packaged for shipment using 100% recycled boxes, reused shipping crates, and sawdust from a local furniture manufacturer used to cushion shipments.
A fine example of "reduce what you can, offset what you can't™", Fireclay Tile is walking the walk, and Carbonfund.org is proud to assist in that last step.
Mac-Gray Campus Solution's Lighten the Load™ Program Mitigates over 107 Million Pounds of CO2 with Carbonfund.org Foundation
Mac-Gray Campus Solution's Lighten the Load™ initiative is reducing college carbon footprints while educating students on the benefits of making sustainable choices in the laundry room. We applaud the company for looking at the impact on the environment as a corporate priority. By encouraging campuses to reduce the environmental impact of their properties and facilities, and offering them environmentally responsible solutions to accomplish this objective, Mac-Gray is serving an important role to help campuses further their efforts to promote on campus sustainability. Since the start of the partnership six years ago, we are proud to report that Mac-Gray has mitigated over 107 million pounds of CO2 through external carbon reduction projects chosen to meet the voluntary guidelines set forth by the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment (ACUPCC).
In 2012, Mac-Gray supported our exceptional project located in the "lungs of the Earth" - the Brazilian Amazon. In the world's largest rainforest, the PURUS REDD + (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation) Project will protect over 85,000 acres from slash-and-burn forest clearing and prevent millions of tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. The Purus Project, the first ever REDD+ project in the State of Acre, to achieve dual-validation to the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standard (CCBS) with Gold Distinction, boasts many environmental and community benefits including: reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, mitigation of climate change, conservation of habitat for endangered and threatened species, improvement for local water quality, retaining of top soil and control erosion, establishing alternative sources of income and employment opportunities, and social projects and programs such as building a new school and health clinic. It is a high standard, cutting edge project that proves beneficial for both planet and people.
Carbonfund.org Foundation is a proud partner of Mac-Gray's Lighten the Load program and we look forward to building on the great work that has been done over the past six years.
Documentary Angel Azul Highlights Coral Reefs' Plight from Global Warming
Scientists predict that in 50 years we'll have lost almost 70% of our natural reefs. "Which is quite a heavy statistic," says environmentally inspired artist, Jason deCaires Taylor. He is the focus of a documentary named, Angel Azul, exploring the weaving of art with an important environmental solution; the creation of artificial coral reefs.
You may be asking yourself why coral reefs are important to humans. The fact is that they're important for several reasons. The first is that they provide us with resources and services worth many billions of dollars each year; namely through food, protection and jobs. Coral reef ecosystems support commercial and recreational fisheries and are tourism-related destinations that inject billions of dollars to local economies. Furthermore, healthy coral reefs are a natural shoreline buffer helping to protect us from waves, storms and floods. Lastly, coral reef plants and animals are important sources of new medicines being developed to treat cancer, arthritis, human bacterial infections, heart disease, viruses and other diseases.
"As humans continue to pump greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, the climate is … on the threshold of a new regime, with dire consequences for reef ecosystems unless we get control of climate change," said Richard Aronson, a biology professor at Florida Institute of Technology. He continues to add, "Local issues like pollution and overfishing are major destructive forces and they need to be stopped, but they are trumped by climate change, which right now is the greatest threat to coral reefs."
Taylor founded the Museo Subacuatico de Arte (MUSA) in Cancun, Mexico, installing 400 life-like cement statues made from plaster molds of a diverse selection of human models. The documentary is named for a sculpture of an angel with outstretched arms and Gorgonian coral wings that gently flutter with the tide. The hope is that the Angel Azul will symbolize a guardian of the reef, protecting and nourishing the aquatic life around her. This kinetic sculpture is the first to be installed underwater.
Angel Azul the movie also features Paul Sánchez-Navarro, Director of The Ecological Center in Akumal, Mexico explaining the fragile state of the Yucatán's coral reefs and proposing solutions for their survival. The documentary's narration is provided by actor, writer and social activist, Peter Coyote.
"Obviously this type of work is quite different from normal art projects. Because the main objective of it is about conservation; making an artificial reef, increasing the biomass underwater, creating habitat areas, aggregating fish" says Taylor.
Coral reefs are resilient. They can recover and re-grow, but only if climate change can be mitigated or reversed. We need to examine our lifestyles and find ways to reduce energy use. It will help our wallets and the environment.
2012 Retrospective – Were this Year's Events Enough to Spur Lasting Climate Change Efforts?
This year offered several events that shone a spotlight directly on the important and urgent issue of climate change, but the question remains, "Was it enough to bring about meaningful efforts to reduce climate change?"
June of 2012 presented the United Nations Earth Summit, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil which disappointed many as international representatives hemmed and hawed instead of establishing true endeavors to tackle global warming. Meanwhile the continental United States embarked on summer heat waves that were some of the hottest in its history.
This year also saw drought cover more than half the country; farmers suffered as their crops and animals died.
Then October of 2012 brought superstorm Sandy, this year's biggest example of extreme weather and a deadly harbinger of the devastating effects of climate change. Can we continue to sit idly by in the face of all these signs that global warming is making broad changes to our planet? Should we leave these environmental problems for our children to face as we continue down an unsustainable path?
The close of the year is a time to reflect on the previous events of the year and make resolutions for the coming year. Let's pledge to make 2013 the year where we confront climate change in every possible way. We can all embark on energy efficiency efforts; reducing what we can and lowering our carbon footprints. Every bit helps. Then it is a powerful combination to offset the rest of our carbon emissions. It would be a genuine shame to let the lessons of this past year slip from our consciousness while there is still time and so much that can and should be done to address climate change.
Groundbreaking Fuel Economy Standards – Historic Progress to Limit Carbon Emissions and Tackle Climate Change
In what is easily the best environmental action in a generation, this week, the Obama Administration announced new CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards for cars and light trucks (think minivans and sport utility vehicles). By 2025, these vehicles will be required to average 54.5 miles per gallon (MPG).
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration regulates CAFE standards and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency measures vehicle fuel efficiency. An agreement in support of acceptable standards was made between the government, automakers and their unions, and environmental organizations.
The stage for these historic fuel economy standards was set by an energy law enacted in 2007 under President George W. Bush. Additionally, the 2009 federal bailouts of General Motors and Chrysler were tied to better fuel efficiency.
Fuel-efficient cars and trucks were the U.S. auto industry's saving grace. It makes good sense on multiple levels to continue these efforts. For one, 570,000 new jobs can be created by 2030. Not to mention saving consumers more than $1.7 trillion at the gas pump and reducing U.S. oil consumption by 12 billion barrels. This also translates to strengthening national security by lessening the country's dependence on foreign oil.
What about fighting man-made global warming? The new standards will cut greenhouse gas emissions from cars and light trucks in half by 2025. This reduces emissions by 6 billion metric tons, which is more than the total amount of carbon dioxide emitted by the United States in 2010. We thank President Obama for his leadership on combating climate change, pollution prevention and national security.
Starting in 2017, the standards will be phased in over the course of eight years. New fuel-saving technology is projected to increase the cost of new car or light truck by $3,000 on average. This means consumers will pay a little more when they buy the vehicle, about $50 more a month over a five-year loan, but they'll more than make up for it at the pump with expected gas savings per vehicle between $7,000 - $8,000. And that is good for the environment and our wallets.
Undeniably, the vehicle fuel-efficiency standards represent an unbeatable combination of protecting the environment and strengthening the economy. They're also the nation's single largest effort to combat climate-altering greenhouse gases, but we can't stop building our carbon-reduction portfolios now. Wonderful news like this should push us to continuing to find more ways to reduce our carbon footprint, as individuals and a nation. Now let's go invest in some renewable energy projects!
How to Save Money on Gas
Gas prices are on the rise. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, gasoline prices are up 11%, increasing from $3.29 in mid-December 2011 to $3.65 by mid-February 2012. Assuming you're an average driver who gets fuel economy of 22.5 mpg, pays a fuel cost of $3.65/gallon, and travels 15,000 miles annually, that translates into a $20 increase each month to fuel your vehicle.
The best way to save gas money and reduce your carbon footprint is to stop driving. However, if you cannot walk, ride a bike, or take public transportation to get you where you need to go, heed some of these driving and maintenance tips. They boost your fuel economy and make the most of your monthly gasoline budget:
Drive more efficiently:
- Avoid aggressive driving which includes speeding, rapid acceleration, and braking. When you don't drive sensibly you can lower your gas mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds and by 5 percent around town. Plus if you drive sensibly you may avoid an accident and thereby save on more than just gas.
- Observe the Speed Limit. Gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph. You can assume that each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.30 per gallon for gas.
- Remove Excess Weight. If it is a heavy and unnecessary, take it out of your car; especially if you drive a smaller car. Did you know an additional 100 pounds in your vehicle could reduce your MPG by up to 2 percent?
- Avoid Excessive Idling. Idling can use a quarter to a half gallon of fuel per hour, depending on engine size and air conditioner (AC) use. It only takes a few seconds worth of fuel to restart your vehicle.
- Use Cruise Control. Maintaining a constant speed can help you save gas.
- Use Overdrive Gears. Overdrive gearing reduces your car's engine speed which saves gas and reduces engine wear.

Some Colorado fans are upset after music superstar Madonna used guns during a performance.
Madonna started her show Thursday night at the Pepsi Center in Denver with a gun scene, which she has used in previous performances.
According to KUSA-TV, the station received several calls Friday from concert-goers saying they were offended she used guns and violence as part of her show in light of recent events in the state that included a mass shooting at a theater during a Batman movie on July 20 that left 12 people dead.
In a statement before beginning the tour, Madonna said she does not condone the use of guns. She said she is using the guns as symbols of intolerance and "the pain I have felt from having my heart broken."
