I was really hoping that one of our better players would do this.
Poison Lover / Rosetta
Card type
None / Royalty
Rarity: EX
03 50 02
00 00 04 03
Price of Ultimate Evil 0sp No unit card in your Card File may be set next turn.
Cleansing Tonic. Soul 0sp Two target units get AT+20, DF=0, AGI-1, and are poisoned until the end of next turn.
Sorry, My Dear. 0sp Target Poisoned unit of LV 2 or lower gets HP=0.
Lady Demon. 0sp Choose one disengaged enemy unit. Do [damage: that unit's AT] to target friendly unit. Engage the enemy unit.
Virulent Poison. 1sp One unit gets AT+20, AGI-1, LV-1, and is also Poisoned until the end of next turn. If the unit selected is friendly, you get SP+1.
Suggested file.
The idea was to have a strong defence and units that could take a hit from her very useful Lady Demon skill. At 50 health she can also take a slight knock, but it is hard enough anyway to keep her alive until you trigger Sorry, My Dear. Virulent Poison can work well on either your own or opponents units. Nice that spirit witch can set up the gowen level for augmented sorcerer, and when they enter the fray you can start taking down big stuff with your halitosis grims. Ok so zombie lord is a bit tacked on and I do always groan when players drop him. To be honest the constant dredging up of old corpses is the winner here, and I do find playing against such files demoralizing.This was a good file however it won and my most successful poison file. I did try her with 6th Heaven Devil / Shvara, but it didn't work out too well. As for the souls? I did put BKR in the first slot, but it didn't seem to work on all my units and only grave me plus 10 attack?
Replay> https://alteil-login.apocoplay.com/audi ... 08a48952fa I had to take my hat off to this guy. Does something I always thought about, but did it nearly to extreme!
She is a great addition for the poison mechanic. I found her interesting to play, but got a feeling she just lacked a little. Until I thought that maybe in the future she will be complemented by other cards.

Boulder Police Officer Sam Carter poses with the elk he shot with his service gun while on duty. (Credit: KCNC)
The Boulder chapter of an animal support group has raised $3,000 to pay for a permanent memorial to a well known elk in its city.
Supporters from the organization In Defense of Animals say the memorial would be a symbol of what is important to Boulder residents.
The Boulder Daily Camera reports two police officers accused of conspiring to illegally kill the trophy elk in Boulder on Jan. 1 resigned. The two were arrested on nine charges, including killing an elk out of season and tampering with evidence.
One of the officers said the elk looked like it needed to be put down because of injuries.

As years pass, skin often starts to shift, sag, wrinkle, and show other unwanted signs of aging. While lines around the lips and eyes can be attributed to laughter and smiles, loose skin around the neck can leave you feeling self-conscious and frustrated. There are many gimmicks and merchandise options available to address this problem, but it is important to use high-quality products you trust. Elemis Neck Firming products are developed to combat this issue, allowing you to greet friends, family, and strangers with the youthful confidence you have always had.
Elemis Neck Firming formulas are much safer than cosmetic surgery. As many individuals turn to plastic surgeons to undo signs of aging, Elemis Neck Firming provides a more natural and safe solution. Developed with the needs and desires of the everyday customer in mind, Elemis Neck Firming formulas employ anti-aging technology to fight the years back and to restore your skin to a youthful appearance. By incorporating Elemis Neck Firming solutions into your skin care regimen, you can drastically reduce the signs of aging and the time you spend worrying about it.
The skin around the neck often loosens as a natural part of aging. Other factors can make these changes more pronounced. Diet, exercise, and genetics can impact whether you develop sagging skin around your neck area. This problem can be more pronounced for some people than others. As with many skin conditions, over-exposure to the sun over a significant number of years can increase the extent of the problem. To address this issue early, it is vital to use a quality SPF product whenever your skin is exposed to the sun for a prolonged period of time. If you expect to be in the sun for longer than 20 minutes, slather your face, neck, and any other exposed body parts with sunscreen. If the skin around your neck is already beginning to loosen, combine this precaution with a more active approach by incorporating Elemis Neck Firming products into your regular skincare routine.
For issues such as loose skin around the neck, it is sometimes necessary to find a product that is more powerful than a traditional moisturizer. Elemis Pro-Collagen Lifting Treatment for Neck and Bust provides a powerful solution targeted at one of the most overlooked trouble spots for aging skin. This formula minimizes the signs of aging in the neck and chest area, revealing smoother and firmer skin. As skin ages, collagen production decreases. Elemis Pro-Collagen Lifting Treatment for Neck and Bust addresses this issue head-on and returns skin to its youthfully radiant and confident state. According to a 28-day clinical study of participants using Elemis Pro-Collagen Lifting Treatment for Neck and Bust, skin firmness can increase by up to 17 percent, skin elasticity can improve by 14 percent, and skin looseness can be reduced by up to 33 percent.

Native plants are an important addition to any wildlife garden. They are well adapted to survive in a particular geographic area according to the climate, soils, rainfall and availability of pollinators and seed dispersers.
Because they are indigenous to a specific region, native plants usually require less maintenance and are welcomed by wildlife, serving an important role in the local ecosystem.
Using non-native or exotic plants can sometimes cause serious problems for an ecosystem if the selected species spread aggressively and are not managed. These so-called "invasives" can outcompete native species for habitat and food, changing the landscape of an area forever.
American Beauties Native Plants® - To help make shopping for native plants easier, NWF has partnered with garden centers in select locations across the United States to carry a special line of American Beauties Native Plants. Look for retailers in your area and check out our four ready-to-plant landscape plans.
Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center's Native Plant Information Network - This site allows you to search for native plant information by traits or names.
There are hundreds of plants native to the many different ecoregions of the United States, which might make it hard to know where to start when it comes to deciding what plants might work in your yard. To help, we've put together the top 10 common native plants by region.
Note: We have not provided a native plant list for Hawaii because the plant diversity changes from island to island.

Burundi based Tanzanian junior player Nicodemous Emanuel has plunged deep in the Confederation of African Tennis by eight steps.
Emmanuel who used to be among the best 16 in the continent has dropped to a 24th position after dismal show in the Africa junior championship held in Cairo.
However, his coach Hassan Kasim created a huge shield to defend his player's poor show. The coach said Emmanuel was making a debut appearance at a high-profile championship in Cairo.
The coach drew optimism over his 14-year old player's improvement in the future. of Emmanuel.
Emmanuel qualified for the event after winning gold medal during the East African qualifying tournament staged in Bujumbura three months ago.
The coach said he has been impressed by the performances of his players, while singling out Tumaini Martini as promising player.
Martin remained in the coach's book as up and coming star given enough time and good preparations.
Martin is also the only Tanzanian player who managed to reach the second round of the Cairo championship and also teamed up with Emmanuel to cruise into the event's quarterfinals in doubles category.
"It is not easy to win games at the African Championship but Tumaini has shown that he has the potential to excel", he said.
The coach also lamented on lack of exposure on his players. He said players of all e countries who competed at the event had enough preparations including a tour of Europe ahead of the games.
According to the rankings released by CAT, of all 5 Tanzania players only Martin has improved from 22 to 15, while John Njau who slumped from 27 to 29, Sala Bura improved from 28 to 23 and Edna John slightly improved from 28 to 27.
Based on the rankings released on March 30, Burundian Saidi Nkurunziza has maintained the number one sport for the third successive time.
The African Junior Championships is taking place at Al-Solimaneyah City, Giza in Egypt.
The tournament, which offers competition in two age categories, Under-14 and 16, has attracted entries from 61 boys and 57 girls from 27 nations.
ITF also offers feed-in consolation events from which players have the opportunity to play singles matches every day, giving them vital competition ahead of their continent's most prestigious junior tennis event.
Players qualified by taking part in one of three zonal championships which took place in January and February in West Central, South and East Africa.
Both events are being hosted by the Egyptian Tennis Federation in collaboration with the ITF and the Confederation of African Tennis (CAT).

Caution before you prepay for lessons
Don't Waste Your Money
Many of us sign up for fitness classes, dance lessons, art lessons, and other activities. Those activities often ask you to pay in advance.
But students at one dance studio are learning the downside of prepaying. And it's a lesson that applies to all of us.
Paid in Advance Just Days Before Closing
Paul and Susan Hill say they've been duped.
They paid upfront for dance lessons.
But now the storefront studio is empty ... mail sits uncollected ...and a sign on the door says "closed for a week due to a family emergency."
But the Hills say it's been 3 weeks, and say no one is responding to calls or emails.
"We sent emails, we tried to leave phone messages, the voice mail box is totally full," Susan Hill said.
Like other students, they paid several thousand dollars upfront.
"We had paid initially about $1,000 for the first group of lessons, and an additional $2,000. So we are out about $2,500," she said.
The Federal Trade Commission, has a caution before you prepay for any kind of lessons, activities, or a gym.
How to Protect Yourself
The FTC says:
- Ask about refunds, if you are injured or move away.
- If you have to prepay, try to pay month to month, not for a full year.
- Understand that if they file bankruptcy, you will lose any money you paid.
- And check the club's record with the Better Business Bureau.
The Hills are angry they were asked to prepay just days before the doors were locked. "The fact they asked us for money on a Friday and closed on a Monday is very frustrating," they said.
But this is an important lesson to anyone considering dance or fitness lessons, art lessons, horseback riding....or any activity where you are asked to make a large payment in advance.
That way you don't waste your money.

For years, the most talked-about trends were thought to be unique, unexpected, and exciting. Then, just when we were getting the hang of things, normcore happened. Lost? Let's take a closer look at the style so average, it's edgy.
The term, a hybrid of "normal" and "hardcore," means normal to the nth degree. Basically, it's a style shift back to basics as outward expression of the ordinary. Used in a sentence (or tweet): "I just scored some serious Birkenstock sandals. #normcore."
Get it? Now, you'll need dad jeans – that's what the kids are wearing these days. And any sort of offbeat athletic clothing or a vintage graphic tee. Before you know it, you'll be rocking normcore with the best of them. Or, perhaps, like the rest of them? Still a little unclear.

Tips for Hanging Curtain Panels
When it comes to length, would you like the panels to hang simply with a 1" clearance (avoiding dust), or would you like them to "puddle" 6-8" onto the floor for added drama?
Measure your windows. Once you've determined the look, measure the window and area to be covered by the curtain panels.
Measuring Width: In addition to measuring the width of the window, determine how much overlap you'd like on each side (1-3" is typical).
Measuring Height: It is typical to mount curtain rods 4" from the top of the window. You can add height to a room by mounting the rod closer to the ceiling. All of our curtain panel heights are measured from the top of the rod pocket to the bottom of the hem. If you are using curtain rings, you will need to add those into your measurements (approximately 1.5-2").

Magellanic subpolar forests
Wulaia Bay, Tierra del Fuego Nothofagus forest. @ C.Michael Hogan
Faunal species richness and endemism is low; for example, a total of only 168 vertebrates has been recorded here. The fauna is related to that of the bordering ecoregions, especially to that of the Valdivian temperate forests and the Patagonian steppe. Nevertheless, its varied and majestic landscapes that include high mountain peaks, enormous icefields, and innumerable fjords are inhabited by unique and endemic animal and plant species that are sometimes locally abundant within this ecoregion.
Location and general description
The subpolar Nothofagus forests extend along the southern Andes Mountains and the Chilean archipelago from 47 ºS to the Cape Horn, including the regions of southern Aisen and Magallanes in Chile. In Argentina it only covers small surfaces of the western side of the province of Santa Cruz and the south of Tierra del Fuego from lake Buenos Aires to Staten Island. At this latitude three parallel regions, the Cordillera Patagónica Insular, the Cordillera Patagónica Occidental, and the Cordillera Patagónica Oriental form the Andes.
The northern end of the subpolar Nothofagus forests matches the limit of the Valdivian temperate forests and the eastern part of the Nothofagus forests borders the Patagonian steppe and the Patagonian grasslands. Towards the west the region is in contact with the cold southern Pacific Ocean, and on the high Andes vegetation floristically related to the south Andean steppe appears in parts as interrupted islands.
The relief of the northern portion has mountains of about 1500 metres (m), but several high peaks mark the limit between Chile and Argentina such as Mt. San Lorenzo (3706 m), Mt. Fitz Roy (3406 m) and Mt. Murallón (3600 m). Towards the west other very high mountains appear such as Mt. San Valentín (3910 m). Large lakes of glacial origin are also found in the limit of Argentina and Chile such as Lago Gral Carrera-Buenos Aires (the deepest and second largest lake in South America), L. Cochrane-Pueyrredón, L. O'Higgins-San Martín, L. Viedma and L. Argentino. The relief of the southern portion generally decreases to less than 1000 m, and in Tierra del Fuego the sizeable L. Fagnano is found.
Permanent snow, ice caps and glaciers are present in the summits of many of the higher elevations. The effect of the cold temperatures, strong and permanent west winds and high precipitation on the windward side of the mountains of about 5000 millimetres (mm) per year has resulted in three enormous icefields. These are the Northern Patagonian Ice Field (approx. 46º30'S to 47º30'S, 4200 square kilometres), the Southern Patagonian Ice Field (48º30'S to 51º30'S, 13000 km2), and the icefield of Cordillera Darwin in the southwest of Tierra del Fuego (54º30'S to 55ºS, 2300 km2). Some glaciers have receded in recent times, with others advancing; however, during the ice ages of the Quaternary, significant expansions of the glaciers in this ecoregion took place. At the end of the last glaciation, one of the more extensive areas in Patagonia had at least five glacial advances lasting between 70,000 and 11,000 years. At this time a continuous ice-sheet formed south of 42ºS from western Patagonia to the Pacific coast, but the north of the Southern Patagonian ice field rose only a differential height of 300 to 700 m, suggesting that the ice cap left part of the topographic relief uncovered.
Magellanic subpolar forested mountains. Background is the Darwin Icefield, one of the two permanent ice fields in South America. @ C.Michael Hogan Soils of the ecoregion are varied, mostly depending on climate, but are generally acid due to high precipitation, low drainage, and slow decomposition of organic matter in relation to low temperatures. Towards the south and west podsols and acid brown forest soils develop in places with better drainage, and peat accumulates in less drained areas with bogs and tundra vegetation.
The climate of this area is generally wet and temperate-cold, with very cold regimes at high elevations. The effect of the cold northward Humboldt and Antarctica currents on the western and southern coasts makes the area colder than others at similar latitudes, with mean January (austral summer) temperatures lower than 10º C. The strong westerly winds blow all year round, producing high rainfall in the windward west side of the mountains and lower precipitation to the east, and no dry season. In general mean annual temperatures are between 6ºC in the north and 3ºC in the south, and mean annual precipitation varies, decreasing from west to east from approximately 4000 mm to 700 mm respectively. For example, mean annual precipitation in Bahía Félix at 53ºS 70ºW is 4845 mm, while in Ushuaia, Argentina at 54ºS 68ºW it is 545 mm. Precipitation as snow can be abundant all the year round.
The vegetation shows principally two types of forest: chiefly evergreen Guindo Beech (Nothofagus betuloides) forests to the west and deciduous Lenga (Nothofagus pumilio) and Antarctic Beech (Nothofagus antarctica) forests towards the east that extend into Argentina. In Tierra del Fuego the evergreen forests are found to the south and the deciduous forests towards the interior. The deciduous forest is formed by almost pure stands of Nothofagus pumilio at lower elevations, in different combinations with the more ecologically tolerant Nothofagus antarctica, which prevails in more arid situations or less drained soils. In frost pockets a heath dominated by Empetrum and Bolax is found. In humid or wet places of these forests especially rich raised bog-communities grow dominated by Sphagnum, and grasses in the families Juncaceae and Cyperaceae.
The deciduous forest shows a transition to the evergreen forest to the west with mixed Nothofagus pumilio-Nothofagus betuloides forests. With approx. 1000 to 4000 mm precipitation N. betuloides becomes dominant, forming pure forests or mixed with Drymis winteri, Maytenus magellanica and Pilgerodendron uvifera. Inland shrubs of the genera Fuchsia, Ribes, Veronica, Gaultheria and Empetrum accompany, while in coastal situations Veronica elliptica forms a dense scrub. In the northern part of the ecoregion, Coigue (Nothofagus dombeyi) and Chiloe's Coigue (N. nitida) occur up to latitude 48ºS, and Chilean Podocarp (Podocarpus nubigena) up to latitude 51ºS.
In the colder areas with high rainfall of the southwestern parts of the ecoregion, a characteristic vegetation usually termed Magellanic moorland or Magellanic tundra extends through the Chilean archipielago to 48ºS. This tundra is characterized by prostrate dwarf shrubs, cushion plants, grass-like plants and bryophytes on water-logged terrain, that in different combinations form vegetation of scrub or bogs. In sheltered areas, even on the outermost islands, only fragments of the evergreen forest develop. The bogs comprise characteristic species, many with austral affinities such as Astelia, Bolax, Caltha, Donatia, Drapetes, Gaimardia, Lepidothamnus and Phyllachne.
Over the highest mountains, usually limited by a belt of low 'krumholz' of prostrate specimens of Nothofagus species, alpine vegetation is found above the forests. The timberline descends from north to south from approximately 1000 m to 500 m. Over it diverse plant communities of dwarf shrubs, cushion heaths, alpine meadows and subnival desert are found. These communities generally increase in richness towards the Patagonian steppe. Similar communities are also found in the vicinity of the glaciers.
The flora of the ecoregion is diverse. The ecoregion is part of the Subantarctic province and shows close relationships to that of the Valdivian temperate forests to the north. This biogeographical province belongs to the Austral realm, and several genera of the ecoregion have representatives or close relatives in Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania, such as Nothofagus trees and Blechnum ferns in the forests, and many cushion and shrub genera of bogs and scrub such as Lepidothamnus, Veronica, Donatia, Gaultheria, Gaimardia, Luzuriaga, Oreobolus, Schoenus and Astelia.
The human populations found in the ecoregion, when Europeans established in the area in the 19th century, were aboriginous groups of maritime cultures that navigated the fjords and canals of the archipielago in bark canoes (e.g., Yamana and Alacaluf), and groups of terrestrial culture that hunted and gathered in the mainland and in the island of Tierra del Fuego (e.g., Aush and Shelknam). Contact of these groups with the European colonists produced reductions in their populations due to violence or lethal, contagious diseases from the Europeans and the relatively few native survivors gradually lost their ancestral customs. Currently this ecoregion is relatively uninhabited in the west as the climate is too harsh, but a few towns are found more to the east such as Cochrane, Puerto Natales, Punta Arenas and Puerto Williams in Chile, and Ushuaia in Argentina. A few roads have been constructed in the latter twentieth century to communicate different parts of the region.
Biodiversity features
This ecoregion is not as biologically rich as the Valdivian forests to the north, which exhibit a large number of woody plant genera that are not found in the subpolar Nothofagus forests. Conspicuous genera of the underforest such as the Chusquea Bamboos (Chusquea), with Neotropical origin, only reach 48ºS. Most of the epiphytes, and all the viny climbers are also absent from this ecoregion. This has sometimes been related to the effect of the glacial extension during the ice ages that so affected the subpolar Nothofagus forests. Nevertheless, important levels of endemism are found among plants, with several mostly herbaceous species being confined to the ecoregion.
A few examples of conspicuous endemic or nearly endemic plant species found in this ecoregion are grasses such as Deschamsia kingii, Festuca cirrosa, Poa darwiniana, P. yaganica, and herbs or subshrubs such as Onuris alismatifolia, Ourisia fuegiana, O. ruelloides, Senecio eightsii, S. humifusus, S. websteri, Nassauvia latissima, Acaena lucida, Perezia lactucoides, Viola commersonii, V. tridentata, Phyllachne uliginosa, Lebetanthus myrsinites, Nardophyllum bryoides, Caltha dioneifolia, Hamadryas magellanica, Ranunculus sericocephalus, Gavilea australis, Olsynium obscura, Valeriana sedifolia, Abrotanella submarginata, A. trilobata and A. emarginata. Many of these species are found in the mountains, in alpine regions above the forests where many endemic species of this ecoregion also occur.
Although plant endemism at the generic level is low, a few endemic, monospecific genera are found, such as Drapetes, Saxifragella and Saxifragodes. Some monospecific genera such as Pilgerodendron (Cupressaceae family), the world's southern-most conifer, are especially well represented in the ecoregion. A few Austral genera are especially relevant, because they are most diversified in the ecoregion, such as Abrotanella and Ourisia; both have several endemic species. Some genera do not have endemics but are well represented in diversity, frequency or abundance such as the Austral parasitic fungus Cyttaria associated to Nothofagus species. Cryptogms in general, i.e., fungi, lichens, mosses and liverworts, are important in the ecoregion.
Endemism in the ecoregion flora, however, is not mirrored in the fauna, where there are few endemics. Among the avifauna, most birds of the subpolar Nothofagus forests extend their ranges to the north into the Valdivian forests such as the conspicuous Green-backed Firecrown hummingbird (Sephanoides sephanoides), Magellanic Woodpecker (Campephilus magellanicus), Thorn-tailed Rayadito (Aphrastura spinicauda), Austral Parakeet (Enicognathus ferrugineus), and Black-throated Huet-huet (Pteroptochos tarnii). Some bird species also extend their ranges into the southern Andean or Patagonian steppe. However, there are a few near-endemics avian taxa, such as the Kelp Goose (Chloephaga hybrida); the Ruddy-headed Goose (C. rubidiceps); Blackish Cinclodes (Cinclodes antarcticus); Canary-winged Finch (Melanodera melanodera); and Striated Caracara (Phalcoboenus australis).
Mammals also tend to have geographic distributions that extend north to other Andean ecoregions or east into the Patagonian steppes. The Puma (Puma concolor); two foxes: Argentine Grey Fox (Dusicyon griseus) and Culpeo Fox (Lycalopex culpaeus); Guanaco (Lama guanicoe); Huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus); Pudu Pudú (Pudu pudu), and Southern River Otter (Lontra provocax) are the largest native terrestrial mammals in the ecoregion, and are locally abundant in some parts of the ecoregion. Historically some of these animals, especially Huemul, have reduced their ranges since the arrival of the Europeans, due to hunting, predation by dogs, susceptibility to cattle diseases, competition with cattle, and competitive conflicts with introduced red deer. The most important populations of huemul are found in the area.
The only endemic and near-endemic mammals are thought to be small ground dwelling mice such as Hershkovitz's Grass Mouse (Akodon hershokovitzi), known to occur only on Isla Capitan Aracena and possibly on the outer islands of the Chilean Archipelago; Woolly Grass Mouse (A. lanosus), occurring in southernmost Chile and Argentina, as far north as northwestern Santa Cruz Province, Argentina; and Markham's Grass Mouse (A. markhami), found only on Isla Wellington in southern Chile.
Thirteen amphibians are found in the ecoregion, all of whom are anuran taxa. Some species of amphibians are characteristic of the ecoregion including the Patagonian Toad (Nannophryne variegata); Marbled Wood Frog (Batrachyla antartandica), found from Mehuin to the Virtudes Islands; Island Spiny-chest Frog (Alsodes monticola), known only from Inchy, in coastal southern Chile; Gray Wood Frog (Batrachyla leptopus), found from Neuquén to lower Río Negro in Argentina, and Concepción to the Aysén Region in Chile.; Gray Four-eyed Frog (Pleurodema bufoninum), occurring in the Patagonian steppe and subpolar forests; Emerald Forest Frog (Hylorina sylvatica), ranging in Chile from the western versant of the Cordillera de Nahuelbuta to Laguna San Rafael, and in Argentina, found in several locations at Nahuel Huapi National Park (southern Neuquén Province and northwestern Río Negro Province) and at Los Alerces National Park (northern Chubut Province); Banded Wood Frog (Batrachyla taeniata), found from Neuquen Province to the lower Rio Negro Province; Chiloe Island Ground Frog (Eupsophus calcaratus), found from Valdivia to Wellington Island in Puerto Eden, Chile to Tromen Lake and Puelo Lake in Argentina; Darwin's Frog (Rhinoderma darwinii VU), occurring in Chile from the province of Maule south to the province of Aisen, and in the Argentine provinces of Neuquen and Rio Negro.
Several amphibians are strictly endemic such as the Puerto Eden Frog (Atelognathus grandisonae), known only from the type locality at Puerto Eden, Wellington Island; Alsodes kaweshkari, found in only two localities: Puerto Edén at Wellington Island and Seno Huemules, both in southern Chile; and Nibaldo's Wood Frog (Batrachyla nibaldoi). No amphibians have been reported in the Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, presumably due to the harsh cold climate.
Only six repilian taxa occur in the ecoregion. Two endemic reptiles are found in the eastern limit of the ecoregion, in the ecotone with the steppe: Liolaemus hatcheri and Magellan's Tree Iguana (Liolaemus magellanicus). Other non-endemic reptiles found here are: Bibron's Iguana (Diplolaemus bibronii); and three further tree iguanas: Phrynosaura audituvelata, Liolaemus exploratorum and Liolaemus maldonadae.
Little is known regarding the terrestrial arthropods of this ecoregion, but many taxa are fundamentally important important in the food chain; moreover, several taxa are involved in damaging Nothofagus forest species.
Historical habitation and exploration
Earliest habitation by humans was by the Yaghan people approximately 11,000 years before present. It is somewhat of a mystery how soon Native Americans found their way to the southernmost part of the Americas not long after original crossing of the Bering ice bridge. Nevertheless, the Yaghans had a very hardy lifestyle that not only made use of the forest resources in building their teepee style homes, but included extensive harvesting of marine resources and swimming in the icy waters of this region.
The first detailed scientific European exploration of the region occurred with Charles Darwin's arrival on the HMS Beagle. Darwin spent considerable effort in cataloguing flora and fauna of this ecoregion before journeying further north to explore the more noted Galapogos leg of his trip.
Ecological status
This ecoregion has several more or less protected areas through all its length. The most important from north to south are Chilean National Parks: Laguna San Rafael, Lago Jeinimeni, Bernardo O'Higgins, Torres del Paine, Alberto De Agostini and Cabo de Hornos, and Argentinean National Parks: Perito Moreno, Los Glaciares and Tierra del Fuego. In Chile there are also several National Reserves: Lago General Carrera, Tamango, Katalalixar, Alacalufes, two Forestal Reserves: Magallanes and Laguna Parrillar, and two Natural Monuments: Laguna de Los Cisnes and Los Pingüinos.
Types and severity of threats
Braided channels of Ainsworth Creek, an area of beaver
invasion, Tierra del Fuego. Source: C.Michael Hogan The subpolar Nothofagus forests are seriously threatened by habitat conversion at the present time. The region has been affected by extensive burning and logging, especially around the principal urban areas and in the more populated areas of the region. A marked increase in the population and tourism in the northern part of the region has been produced by the recent construction of the Chilean Carretera Austral that currently unites Coihaique to Cochrane and Villa O'Higgins. This could produce problems related to the increment of fires, logging and overgrazing by cattle and sheep. Although the vegetation is probably adapted to grazing by native animals such as huemul and guanaco, the introduction of exotic cattle can have an harmful impact on the ecosystems.
The increase in tourism can have far reaching affects such as the introduction of non-native species. Threats from established alien species continue to cause threats to this ecoregion. Some exotic animals have been introduced purposely for hunting or for fur or meat, such as European Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and North American Beaver (Castor canadensis) have already invaded large areas in the southern portion of this ecoregion. Beavers build dams affecting the regeneration of the forest and the hydrology of the region. Alien plants are a major percentage of the flora, especially in open, disturbed places such as in logged or burnt forest. About 25% of exotic species were likely introduced with the European colonization and many have been found on the island of Tierra del Fuego. Although sustainable forestry projects are being attempted in this ecoregion, most forestry management is poor and entire stands are turned into chips of low added value.

Sheriff's Officials say that 56-year-old Frank Plisko of Newport died following an accident Saturday morning at Martin County Airport. Plisko is listed on the Tradewind Sky Sports website as being an instructor as well as an EMT/Paramedic. The school is located at the airport and says that it specializes in first time tandem skydiving.
A friend of Plisko's told WITN via Facebook that Plisko had a 'D' expert skydiving license and had been making jumps for many years.
Investigators have not said yet what they believe led to the accident.

The Phantom is a tractor trailer truck in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V manufactured by Jobuilt, an obvious parody of Peterbilt.
The Phantom has a 24-valve Supercharged engine (over 720hp and, if following the general physics of a diesel engine for torque to power ratios, about 2,500 lbs-ft of torque), allowing the vehicle to accelerate moderately well despite its weight and reach moderately high top speeds, but does nothing to improve its slower brake response and wide turning radius. Its size and weight make it perfect for pushing almost any vehicle out of the way; such is its power that it can cause critical damage to some vehicles (igniting their engine) upon impact. The truck resembles a Peterbilt 359 EXHD.
The Phantom is possibly used in Labor Union Trucking as the truck is driven by the Italian Mafia.
Unlike the tractor trailers in Grand Theft Auto 2 and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the Phantom cannot attach to any trailers parked throughout the city.
The performance for a truck of this size is actually impressive, but obviously not the best. Acceleration is mediocre, but better than its size would suggest. Speed is very good, making the Phantom one of the fastest industrial vehicles in the game, but not as fast as the Fire Truck. Handling is, as expected, poor, but if the player holds the brake and the acceleration buttons at the same time while turning, the truck tends to turn easier. This trick also works with the Biff, Bus, and Flatbed.
- The name "Phantom" is most likely a reference to horror movies in which the antagonist drives a Semi-Truck, or is the Semi-Truck itself. More specifically, "Jobuilt Phantom" may also be a reference to the song "Phantom 309" which tells the tale of a Ghost Truck and it's driver, Big Joe.
- Despite being a enormous vehicle, the Phantom can still be used to perform burnouts and "donuts".
- The Phantom trucks and most other trucks are vehicles in GTA IV that are never locked. However, a wanted level may still be attained when stealing one within police view. A 4-star wanted level will be attained when stealing the one in Francis International Airport, with or without police nearby.
- The default radio station in the Phantom is Liberty Rock Radio 97.8.
- The very back wheels of the truck are not solid, so the player can walk into them, this will allow the player to "slide" along the ground when the truck is moving since the back is still solid, this will not make the player fall over at any speed the truck is moving at.
- A truck similar to the Phantom was seen in the Grand Theft Auto V debut trailer.
- Despite saying "V24 Supercharged," it is most likely a twin turbocharged I6. This can be deduced by the turbo whistle.
- Parked in southern Francis International Airport.
- Parked in front of a gas station near the intersection of Dukes Boulevard and Hewes St in Steinway, Dukes.
- Parked near Union Drive West, just above the Booth Tunnel in Purgatory, Algonquin, Liberty City.
- There are many Phantoms parked in the Port Tudor Docks in Alderney.
- In The Lost and Damned's Gang Warfare, the Italian Mafia drives Phantom trucks that are the target vehicle, they are very well armored and the only effective way to stop it is to shoot the tires, as there are two armed gunmen in the driver and passenger seats, so the only way you can take it is by losing the war.

In your good hands, this board will not only be safe, but grateful. No doubt subtly influencing the bounce of your dice on the padded felt interior, turning a 5,6 into a devastating double at just the right moment.

I once heard a lawyer explain one of these computer aided and animated forensic analysis (in a totally unrelated case to this). He opined the defense would certainly counter with their own version and really what these were are dueling cartoons. FWIW... So I've always been a bit skeptical of this type of thing after he said that. Everything looks plausible when you paint a picture in a world that the creator controls all the variables and can make any changes deemed necessary to reach a conclusion one way or the other.

Acoustic evidence says the last shot game from the grassy knoll...... Also, if there is no single bullet fact (and there is not), there is a conspiracy. It means there had to be at least two shooters which we already know....
R. Lee Ermey in full Metal Jacket says it was Oswald. That's good enough for me.
You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....
I believe that the Zapruder film is the most horrifying thing I have ever seen. Jackie scrambling to pick up pieces of his brain was particularly jarring.
Yes, but it would have had to hit something in the car and there would be a new entrance wound to explain.....
Guess I should make it official...
Lone gunman and it was Lee Harvey Oswald. The job at the School Book Depository was only temporary and the man who hired Oswald had no affiliation with the mafia, Cubans, Russians, or LBJ supporters. Just by bad fate did Oswald get hired and had the opportunity to be in a perfect position for the shooting. I believe history points out the route for Kennedy through Dallas wasn't even known until a week before the assassination. So that's pretty good that evil forces were able to do their best in getting Oswald hired there slightly over a month before the shooting and use their clairvoyant skills to know the parade route would eventually take the President past the buidling. I don't buy it.
Simply Oswald had a skewed view of the United States, had a problem getting a job, knew this job was short, and was pissed off at the world. When you see some of the venom displayed in today's politics this doesn't surprise me.
You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....
Anyway, I don't really know what happened that day, but I've always found it hard to believe that the government could cover something like this up. Too many inept individuals, but it could have been a conspiracy outside of the government for sure. Do I know that LHO was a lone gunman? A patsy? Etc? No, but I do think it's hard to believe it was just a disgruntled dude in a libaray who was a really good shot. Something else was going on that day, just don't think the government was behind it. However pinning it on one guy LHO is certainly less messy for everyone involved and IMO was probably viewed as the easiest way for the country to move on. If you had pinned on the mob, the Cubans, Russians, whatever it would have become an even bigger national crisis, pinning it on one disgruntled individual made it cleaner, so in that sense I do think the government may have done something on that end, but I don't believe they were behind the planning or execution.

I agree with you but they were behind the cover-up for national security reasons.....
Dude, we can't keep half of our national security issue secrets a secret.
The only way to Keep a secret is to make sure you are the only one who knows it and everyone else who may know is dead. sorry I don't buy a conspiracy where the government has to cover so much up
They have been exposed doing it over and over again. The records are set to be released in 2017. Do you really think the entire records will be released? It only takes a small group within the government to cover anything up. We finally found out who deep throat was even though three people knew the truth. I don't think you would pry a secret out of the CIA. I don't think the government was in on the assassination but they were certainly in on the cover-up. Earl Warren was given direct orders to find LHO was the lone assassin for national security reasons (preventing WWIII).
This debate has brought back so many memories of my parents arguing with the cousins, aunts, and uncles at the family thanksgiving. I think they debated this for 5 thanksgivings in a row. I just played with my GI Joes and snuck in the kitchen and eat all the pumpkin pie I wanted.
I will admit deep throat was a good example, but I think thats more a rartity than then norm
Let me make the counter argument- There's all kinds of allegedly leaked information out there. Overall, as Americans we've just chosen not to believe it, simply remain skeptical, or figure that's the way it is and nothing we can do about.
There's always the age old question that unfolds when a coverup is exposed: "Why the coverup? Just admit mistakes were made and move on. Coverups never work". But is that true? Or is the reason there is the occasional exposed scandal mean that they actually DO work and the law of averages just catches up with a few here and there? It's not like we have a running track record of the ones that worked.
And then look at history.... History is littered with things that were exposed many, many, many years later. Ideas that were at the time scoffed at have later either been proven to have been true, or had the likelihood greatly increased by either new information and/or new technology.
Lastly, wouldn't the government work harder to conceal aspects of a conspiracy to assassinate Kennedy over some smaller incident with much less at stake? Wouldn't the threats to keep quiet be more serious, the disinformation campaign more thorough, the reasons why to have it all wrapped in a nice package for public consumption ASAP a paramount concern... even over the truth?
And it doesn't have to be that the government was behind the event. It could be some in the government had info they refused to act upon (for whatever reason). Or it could be some government connected individuals sowed the seeds to make it happen and leaked info that was used by other groups. Or it could just be that the first thing that was decided behind closed doors was to wrap this up ASAP and sweep any loose ends under the rug. Give the American public a neat and tidy narrative, blame the 'lone nut', deflect any and all blame away from anyone else or foreign governments whether connected or not. Let Americans go to bed that night thinking their government was just the same as the day before and under no threat.
And using death to keep the story controlled is always a viable option. Oswald didn't have much time to tell his version of the story before he was killed.
IOW... all the elements you'd look for are here.
Nuntius was right. I was wrong. Frank Vogel has retained his job.

See now I've gone an changed my mind again. Funny how we can have a relationship with China, Russia, or about any country with exception to North Korea and..... Cuba. Been a long time and just maybe we can't bring ourselves to work with Fidel since secretly the government knows Castro was behind everything.
You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....
OK... is that joke? Your thought makes some sense....
Nuntius was right. I was wrong. Frank Vogel has retained his job.

You assume the government has the capacity to keep anything a secret.
I am not saying they have never done it, I am saying if it has happened IMO it is a rarity. And as for information being leaked, I guess the governemnt is really good at helping us "regular" folks discredit the theories I have seen for other events....or they get really lucky as all the leaks are out to bat **** crazy nut bags

Winery Story
De Bortoli Wines is a third generation family wine company established by Vittorio and Giuseppina De Bortoli in 1928. The winemaking philoso... (more...)phy is that great wine begins in the vineyard. The belief is that sustainable vineyard practices will deliver exceptional fruit quality to the winery as well as real environmental benefits. The focus is on careful site selection, vine maturity and high input viticulture with a move towards biological farming principles. There is also increasing awareness of the importance of single vineyard wines. In the winery minimal interference, allowing the wine to 'make itself' and the mantra 'it is harder to do nothing' encapsulate this belief. De Bortoli has expanded into some of Australia's best known wine regions across Victoria and New South Wales including the Yarra, King and Hunter Valleys from its original base in Bilbul, in the Riverina region of southern New South Wales. In New South Wales, the Riverina produces the acclaimed Noble One, world class fortified and premium varietal wines while the Hunter Valley is renowned for the unique character and longevity of its Semillon and Shiraz wines. In Victoria the Yarra Valley is recognized for its cool climate wines made from classic varieties notably Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Viognier, Pinot Noir, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. In the north east the King Valley is establishing a reputation for its delicious European style wines.$10.00 Out of stock

President Barack Obama had a simple message for Republicans in Congress: Do it my way.
Forget about shutting down the government to force spending cuts, he told the GOP in Tuesday night's State of the Union address. Don't think about defaulting on the debt, and, while you're at it, close tax loopholes.
Clearly, Obama wasn't in a mood to compromise.
The president's speech doubled down on his hard-charging inaugural address in promoting liberal Democratic policy ideas, without ceding any ground to Republicans in Congress.
And why should he? The president is fresh off a convincing re-election victory, and Republicans are soul-searching over their party's future, increasingly reluctant to put up a fight. The GOP leadership already flinched by giving in on the debt ceiling and tax hikes. Obama seems determined to see what else he can get out of them.
At a time when Republicans are insisting on spending cuts, Obama pushed more public spending on universal preschool, construction work on bridges and schools and a jobs program rebuilding vacant homes in rundown neighborhoods. He pushed for an increase in the minimum wage to $9 an hour, with future increases tied to the cost of living. And he continued to push in support of left-leaning social issues including gun control, immigration reform, climate change and advancing equal rights for gays.
These were issues he didn't prioritize in his first term as he grappled with two wars and a recession — and faced a re-election bid in which he needed to campaign for America's middle. But fresh off his convincing victory, unburdened by the prospect of another campaign, he has a rare and fleeting moment to push a second-term agenda that could shape his legacy.
The risk is he will alienate Republicans and accelerate gridlock. But Obama warned that voters won't look kindly on a stalemate.
"The American people don't expect government to solve every problem," he argued. "They don't expect those of us in this chamber to agree on every issue. But they do expect us to put the nation's interests before party. They do expect us to forge reasonable compromise where we can. For they know that America moves forward only when we do so together and that the responsibility of improving this union remains the task of us all."
Obama ridiculed Republican calls for cuts to spending on things like education, job training and Medicare and Social Security benefits to cut the deficit. "Deficit reduction alone is not an economic plan," Obama said.
For now, Americans are far happier with Obama's leadership than they are with Congress. A recent Associated Press-GfK poll found that 54 percent of registered voters approve of the job Obama is doing, compared with just 17 percent for Congress.
But that isn't preventing Republicans from digging in their heels. House Speaker John Boehner told TV correspondents and anchors Tuesday that immigration is about the only item on Obama's list that has a chance of passing this year. He said the president is more interested in getting a Democratic majority in both chambers next year and he doesn't believe Obama "has the guts" to take on liberals in his party over spending cuts.
Obama recognized that the divided Congress may not fall in line behind all his priorities, specifically mentioning climate change, but said he'd move forward with or without their support. "If Congress won't act soon to protect future generations, I will," Obama said.
The White House is acutely aware that Obama must act fast if he wants to be a transformational leader. The president has maybe a year before electoral politics tends to accelerate the already nasty gridlock between the White House and GOP lawmakers.
That's because come next year, members of Congress will be focused on their own campaigns for the midterm election.
