The fūma shuriken is a large, four-bladed shuriken possessing pre-eminent sharpness and lethality. This type of shuriken is considered characteristic to the famous Fūma clan, after whom they were named and who possibly developed them. However, their use is not limited to this clan. Its four blades can be collapsed for easy storage, leading to its nickname Shadow Windmill (影風車, Kage Fūsha).
As Zabuza and Obito demonstrated, the shuriken can be used in melee combat, by spinning the blade in one's hand to slash and stab the opponent directly. In Sasuke's battle with Itachi, he has shown the ability to shuriken can rig the four blades to disconnect via pulling a connected wire and have them fire in cardinal directions as a surprise attack, as well as imbuing it with a Chidori to increase its cutting power.

Summary:To call insurance agent Tim Lippe, "naïve" is a gross understatement. He's never left his small hometown. He's never stayed at a hotel. And he's never experienced anything like Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Sent to represent his company at the annual insurance convention, Tim is soon distracted by three convention veterans who will show him the ropes and push his boundaries. For a guy who plays everything by the book, this convention will be anything but conventional.

Artichoke hearts in hummus? Great idea. Artichoke leaves with hummus on them? Incorrect!
I am part of a degenerate elite
Dragging our society into the street
I don't like artichokes ...
First off, everyone knows that mayonaise is poison so throw that crap right out the window. Fucking horrible shit that should never have been invented. Melted butter is the only choice for discerning artichoke afficiandos such as ma self. Take the artichoke leaf and dip it lightly, with an ever so subtle twist in the melted butter (and I don't mean friggin melted margerine). Then grate that bitch accross yer teeth and give 'er a good pull. That is some good shit.
Next...artichoke hearts, great for cooking with seafood.
I said, "Hi, Greg. I'm the creepy girl." He chuckled, then wanted a handshake and I gave it. I wanted a hug and he gave it. One of his sons was there, too. Cute. Then Pete got him to autograph my sign for me because I was too polite to ask myself since he was on his way to eat. Pete also took this of photo of him holding it. - 8/2/2014.

IT Solutions for Transforming Government
Transform Federal IT with Virtualization
Since 1998, VMware has worked with U.S. Federal and Department of Defense organizations to become the leading provider of virtualization and cloud infrastructure to the federal government, serving all U.S. cabinet agencies, military services and commands, plus the legislative and judicial branches. VMware meets the needs of a modern government while reducing costs and increasing resource utilization.
- FDCCI and consolidation – Meet the requirements of the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative (FDDCI) with virtualization.
- Cloud computing – Build an efficient, agile, elastic pool of on-demand resources.
- Desktop and application virtualization – Deliver and manage desktops as a service. Offer remote access without compromising security.
- Real-time situational awareness – Break past the limits of traditional databases for scalable, real-time awareness.
Meeting Consolidation Requirements
According to the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative (FDCCI), 40% of identified data centers in government agencies should be consolidated by the end of 2015. More federal IT infrastructure is consolidated on VMware than any other platform. VMware virtualization has enabled our federal customers to achieve physical to virtual server consolidation ratios from 2:1 to 12:1 and much higher, reduce associated costs and make their data center infrastructure cloud-ready.
- Respond to changing events and programs faster and more efficiently than ever before.
- Delivers resources, applications—even servers—when and where they're needed.
- Save 50 to 70 percent on overall IT costs by consolidating resource pools and delivering highly available machines with vSphere with Operations Management.
Start the Journey to Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is changing the way federal agencies deliver and consume IT services. Put server, storage, compute, and networking resources on a virtualized platform and create an efficient agile and elastic pool of on-demand resources that make up a cloud. When ready, VMware vCloud Air or VMware vCloud Government Service, based on the same award winning vSphere platform enables agencies to extend those resources to realize the best of all that cloud computing has to offer, whether private, public or both.
VMware vCloud Government Service provided by Carpathia is a FedRAMP compliant infrastructure-as-a-service hybrid cloud that gives IT a common platform to extend their data center and seamlessly run new and existing applications in the cloud.

Power Federal Employee Productivity
Deliver and manage desktops as a cloud-based service with Horizon 6, empowering teleworkers and field-based, office-based, and remote or contractor personnel to be productive from a variety of devices, including government-furnished PCs or laptops, personal computers, thin clients and tablet computers. Telework and COOP planning are just two examples of how VMware end-user computing solutions can be used to:
- Provide personnel with immediate and flexible access to applications and data anytime, anywhere.
- Reduce the cost and complexity of desktop management.
- Give IT organizations the control they need to ensure agency security and compliance.
Secure Mission-Critical Operations
While the same fundamentals of IT security apply in virtual and physical environments, virtualization offers some key additional benefits for securing IT infrastructure, such as reducing the attack profile, easier isolation of contaminated infrastructure, and enhanced stability and availability. VMware has made strategic investments to earn Common Criteria/EAL 4+ Certification, as well as drafted several DISA STIGs and earned FIPS validation for various solutions.
Additionally, in order to provide end-to-end security and privacy for cloud sensitive workloads, VMware builds cloud services in accordance with mandates and security best practices meeting the following standards and certifications.

We're hoping to learn what started a house fire in Northeast Colorado Springs. 11 News was first on scene. Firefighters say it started at around 9 p.m. in the 3600 block of Cranswood, near Woodmen and Rangewood.
We have cell phone video taken just minutes after the fire broke out. It shows how big the flames were early on as Springs firefighters responded.
We talked to Carmen Estrada, a family friend and neighbor, who said the homeowner was completely shocked and distraught. Estrada described to us just how scary it was to see those flames.
"I just stopped the car and I ran (toward the home) and fell because I thought it was my house. It is the most horrible feeling to ever have," Estrada said. "I just saw all these flames and smoke and everything and I parked my truck and ran over here because I thought it was my grandson and my husband over here, but thank goodness they were okay."
The family of four that lives in the home was not there when the fire started. No one was injured.
Fire crews are expected to work into the early morning hours investigating how this fire started.

Albany Med's physicians and scientists are conducting ongoing and significant research on a wide variety of neurological issues in hopes of discovering the underlying causes of many illnesses, identifying better treatments, and improving patient outcomes.
Click here for a searchable database of all clinical research being performed at Albany Med.
Neurosurgeon to Investigate New Way to Treat Brain Tumors
Dr. Julie Pilitsis and research team will work to develop
Julie Pilitsis, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of surgery in the Division of Neurosurgery, is serving as co-principal investigator on a $3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to develop an MRI-guided robotic system that could offer safer, more accurate treatment options for patients with brain tumors.
Dr. Pilitsis, working with a team of engineers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Worcester, MA, is testing an MRI-compatible robotic system that delivers a high-intensity focused ultrasound ablation therapy device through a dime-sized opening in the cranium. The device can heat and erode away cancerous tissue while leaving surrounding normal tissue unaffected, potentially offering a significant improvement over current treatments.
Presently, patients with brain tumors are treated with either stereotactic radiation surgery, which may take multiple treatments and often takes time to work, or traditional brain surgery, which is highly invasive and can lead to other complications.
"Real-time imaging is important because it enables the clinician to identify the precise location of the tumor and surrounding structures that may shift during the procedure," Dr. Pilitsis said. "Because the robot and device can move while images are being taken, we will be able to safely and efficiently eliminate the cancerous tissue without affecting other areas."
The robot will be guided by live MRI images using a novel robotic manipulator developed by principal investigator Gregory Fischer, Ph.D., assistant professor of mechanical engineering and robotics engineering at WPI and director of WPI's Automation and Interventional Medicine Laboratory. Reinhold Ludwig, Ph.D., professor of electrical and computer engineering at WPI, will develop specially-designed MRI coils for the research project.
"This award is significant because it enables a multi-institutional collaboration to take place for the advancement of the treatment of brain tumors," Dr. Pilitsis said. "Our research has the potential to identify ways to use technology to provide safer and more accurate treatment, and may even result in another treatment option for patients with metastatic brain cancer, and perhaps eventually, other cancers. At the end of the grant period, we hope to be ready to conduct patient trials."
Co-investigators on the project are Matthew Gounis, Ph.D., associate professor and co-director of the Advanced MR Imaging Center at UMass Medical School, and Everette Burdette, Ph.D., president and CEO of Acoustic MedSystems, the developer of the MRI-compatible ablation device and software.
A neurosurgeon specializing in deep brain stimulation and with extensive experience in stereotactic surgery, Dr. Pilitsis is serving as lead clinical advisor for the research. She began working with Dr. Fischer and his team on the development of a prototype robot when she served as director of functional neurosurgery at the UMass Memorial Medical Center, where she still serves as adjunct faculty.
Dr. Pilitsis, a graduate of Albany Medical College, is the only neurosurgeon in the region with subspecialty fellowship training in functional neurosurgery.

During a show in Montreal, Beyonce sat down to perform her song "Halo". While she was singing, her hair got caught in a giant fan that was behind her. A crew member eventually had to cut her hair with scissors to free her, but damn if that girl didn't keep on singing right thru it. She also posted a note on Instagram with reworked "Halo" lyrics that took the incident into account saying, "Gravity can't begiiiiiin to pull me out of the fan again/ I felt my hair was YANKIIIIIIIN / From the fan that's always hatiiiiiiin."

Drake posted on his site, "I share responsibility and offer my sincerest apologies for the pain this has caused.

Against Leviathan: Government Power and a Free Society
Recorded: Wednesday, September 29, 2004
September 29, 2004
Oakland, CA
What is fundamentally wrong with government today? Since 2001, despite low inflation, federal spending has increased by a massive 28.8%, creating the largest deficits in U.S. history and the highest rate of government growth since the "guns-and-butter" presidencies of Richard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson. At the same time, federal agencies have been given new powers to secretly search anyone's property and intercept phone, Internet, and other communications, as well as inspect health and financial records. In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, economist and historian Robert Higgs alone predicted this explosion of government power, as politicians have again taken full advantage of a frightened American public.
At this special Independent Policy Forum based on his new book, Against Leviathan, Dr. Higgs will present an unflinchingly critical analysis of the abuse of government power, including pork, the welfare state, protectionism, trampling on the Bill of Rights, and governmental responses to a continuing stream of "crises," including foreign wars, both hot and cold. Dr. Higgs combines an economist's analytical scrutiny, an historian's respect for the facts, and a refusal to accept the standard excuses and cruelties of government officialdom.

GRE Conference Discusses Movement to Revitalize Church
Contact: Joanna Klimaski
(212) 636-7175
The Most Rev. Frank J. Caggiano, S.T.D., said in his keynote address
that the shifting cultural andscape will require the Catholic Church to find new ways to communicate with
its members

April 22, 2013
With roughly 68.5 million members, the largest single Christian denomination in the United States is Roman Catholicism.
The third largest group, if it were a denomination unto itself, would be ex-Catholics.
In response to a net loss of roughly 20 million members over the last few decades, the Catholic Church has launched the New Evangelization movement, a comprehensive effort to reach out to members who have become alienated from the faith.
On April 20, Fordham's
Graduate School of Religion and Religious Education
(GRE) hosted a daylong conference, "Taking It to the Streets: The New Evangelization," which examined the movement's efforts to revitalize the Catholic community.
The Most Rev. Frank J. Caggiano, S.T.D., vicar general and moderator of the curia in the Diocese of Brooklyn, said the key to reversing the decline is to evangelize—or, proclaim the good news—in a way that makes people feel welcomed. In his keynote address, "The New Evangelization: Our Journey Home," Bishop Caggiano said that the church community should be like a home to parishioners.
"The image of home is at the heart of all we do in the New Evangelization," he said. "The image conjures up… welcoming and belonging, a place of community, of relationships, of love, and also a place where we are nourished."
Many Catholics no longer feel welcomed, he said, sensing a disconnection between their own lived experiences and what they hear at Sunday Mass. As a result, church leaders must find new ways to engage with contemporary parishioners.
"A growing number of individuals do not find the proclamation of the community to be credible—and that's the great challenge in the New Evangelization," he said. "The content is the same, but the context has changed. So the New Evangelization is about making the content available in this new context."
In his presentation, "Changing Their Minds About the Faith and the Church: Why Are So Many Catholics Opting Out," Tom Beaudoin, Ph.D., associate professor of theology at GRE, illuminated the staggering statistics that precipitated the New Evangelization.
Beaudoin and J. Patrick Hornbeck, D.Phil., assistant professor of theology, are concluding a study funded by The Louisville Institute on why so many Catholics are either leaving the religion or radically redefining their beliefs—in a word, "de-converting." Since 2011, the team has collected more than 300 survey responses and interviewed dozens of people on why and how their relationship to Catholicism has shifted.
"Deconversion is changing one's faith-mind—that is, beliefs and/or practices—in relationship to normative, or official, Catholicism," Beaudoin said. "According to this definition, you can deconvert and be out the door, or you can deconvert and stay, even go to Mass every week."
Feeling a disconnect between what one hears at Mass and what what one experiences in everyday life is one reason that some people "deconvert," said Tom Beaudoin, Ph.D.

The team found certain themes among the participants' reasons for distancing themselves from Catholicism. First, participants said that the church has failed to modernize, and thus cannot respond to the challenges that modern Catholics face. Second, many participants say church rituals are prosaic. Third, participants cited detrimental relationships with church leaders or communities.
Beaudoin added that an overall cultural shift has also prompted many deconversions—not only within Catholicism but in other religions as well.
"The cultural landscape is changing profoundly about religious identity itself," he said. "People are feeling more agency about religious identity, and they're also trying to find a way on the ground to make sense of the fact that they live in a religiously pluralistic world. They want to take what's good from the many things they're learning. In general, they don't feel that they have to be in church all the time to be a good Catholic, or a good Methodist, or otherwise in the mainline."
A deeper understanding of the data is critical for any work within the New Evangelization movement, Beaudoin said. Moreover, church leaders must cultivate a curiosity about deconversion, rather than a condemnation.
"What is sacred for people in real life, and why are those things sacred?" he said. "For me, that's got to be part of the New Evangelization."

It's Bridal time (FUCK YEAH MARRIAGE)! All the heavy hitters–Carolina Herrera, Monique Lhuillier, Oscar de la Renta–are showing wedding collections for Fall 2012. Interestingly, the heaviest hitter of them all, Vera Wang, was feeling pretty moody: black wedding gown levels of moody. For what it's worth, Wang was wading into darker waters last season (she showed lots of dove gray) but still kept it pretty romantic and delicate. This collection, however, is downright goth. I don't mean to be a completely ridiculous parody of my high school goth self but… I kind of like them?
Granted, I loved Katie Shillingford's "funeral shroud" wedding gown by Gareth Pugh, so that's where I'm at it. Anyway, here's some of Wang's black gowns. Let us know what you think!

A report on EU electricity market rules, which must reflect the energy generation mix of the future and help usher in a flexible power system with a large-scale uptake of wind power and other renewable energy sources.
The report recommends:
- Creating a level playing field for renewable energy sources by tackling structural market deficits.
- Creating functioning markets covering larger geographical regions within Europe so as to reduce the need to balance variable renewables like wind and solar
- Developing intraday and balancing markets at national and cross-border levels
- Creating new markets for 'grid support services', supporting the functioning of the grid to ensure a secure supply of electricity, instead of introducing market distorting capacity payments.

John C. Goodman: What's the Alternative to Obamacare?
Recorded: Tuesday, July 1, 2014
Independent Institute Senior Fellow John C. Goodman, author of "Priceless: Curing the Healthcare Crisis" describes how the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, with its 27,000 pages of rules and regulations, has omitted some basic market-based concepts that would benefit all consumers. Goodman outlines the changes that would make such a healthcare system function, utilizing his extensive knowledge of the subject. Goodman is known as the "Father of Health Savings Accounts" whose suggestions for healthcare reform have been heard around the country. In this video, he highlights what is wrong with Obamacare, and offers his bold ideas on sensible healthcare reform.

Vol State to Receive New Advising Tool for Students
Submitted on November 09, 2011 at 1:43 PM
Volunteer State Community College will have a new high-tech tool soon to help students figure out in which classes they will do well, and assist those students in picking a major. The computer-based Adaptive Advising Tool (AAT) was first developed at Austin Peay State University by Provost, Dr. Tristan Denley. The tool utilizes predictive analytics to provide students with suggested course offerings that not only fulfill the student's program of study, but are also courses in which the student is likely to succeed. Those suggestions are based on the success of other students with similar academic backgrounds. In the first year of implementation at Austin Peay, the AAT accurately predicted a student's grade within half a letter grade.
The AAT program is funded by Complete College America's (CCA) Completion Innovation Challenge (CIC) Grant. Vol State, Nashville State Community College and the University of Memphis were chosen by the grant leadership team as the initial expansion sites in Tennessee. The schools will be assisted in implementation by Provost Denley and staff with the Tennessee Higher Education Commission. Each institution will closely track the effects of the tool on student performance. The ultimate goal is that the AAT will improve student advising and eventually college completion rates.

Prominent American Revolutionary War artist, John Trumbull (1756 – 1843), son of the Governor of Connecticut, created the iconic work "The Declaration of Independence" which appears on the back of the two dollar bill. Despite the loss of one eye to a childhood accident, Trumbull completed 250 paintings including battle scenes to portraiture of President Washington. After Trumbull became President of the American Academy of Fine Arts, students rebelled against his dictatorial fervor to found The National Academy of Design. His masterpieces hang in the US Congress as well as in top collections at museums and universities.

"The band is engineered to act as the foundation of a bra. It carries the weight of the breasts
and provides the basic framework to establish breast support."
•Meet Tomima
Women with cup
sizes larger than a C may need more support than a regular well-fitting
bra can give. For example, they may have pendulous breasts, or have a
massive amount of breast tissue in proportion to their body's frame. When
more support is needed, support panels are the answer.
A support panel
is an additional panel of stiff fabric placed along the arm edge, along
the bottom or around all the sides of a bra cup. Support panels can be
internal or external. If external, they are incorporated into the cup
design itself.
When selecting a bra with support panels, look to see where the support panel is located. If it is along
the outer edge of the cup, its purpose is to move breast tissue out from under the arm and move it towards
your center. If located along the bottom of the cup, its purpose is to give better breast lift. If it encircles
the edge of the cup, its purpose is to create clear breast definition and move the tissue towards a forward position.
See support bras here.
Center Panels:
The center panel can be a triangular shape, or be an extension of a bra's band. It is important to look at where the
center panel falls in relation to the apex or horizontal nipple line of your bust line. A well-supporting bra will have
a center panel both above and below this line. At HerRoom, every bra is photographed on a mannequin with a graphic overlay
that includes the apex line (note: if the bra has lower cup padding, the bra will sit lower on the mannequin). Apart from
providing additional measurements, it will also help you understand the center panel placement and size. Simply click on the
"measured" link at the bottom of each bra photo on our site.
The center panel actually decreases in width as the cup sizes increase. This makes sense when you remember that as breasts
get larger, they also get closer together. The center panel width at the Apex line generally measures as follows: AA=1-1/2",
A= 1-1/4", B=1", C= 3/4", D and larger =1/2". Also, the center panel increases in height as the cup size increases.
A bra band or bra frame is that part of the bra that goes around the ribcage. The band is engineered to carry the weight
and thrust of breasts. Cups are sewn either into or onto the band. It can have several configurations; continuous single piece,
stop at the cups' sides, contain several pieces, include boning etc.
The band is engineered to act as the foundation of a bra. It carries the weight of the breasts and provides the basic framework
to establish breast support. This is why it's so important to find your correct band size - too tight, and underwires dig into your
ribcage, too loose, and breasts won't have proper support.
A band that goes all the way around your ribcage (including under your cups) will always provide the best support because it's the most stabilizing design. And, if that band is made with powernet, you have the strongest support possible. Powernet (known as girdle fabric) is a two-way stretch nylon fabric that provides compressive support. It is the same fabric found in most shapewear.??Women with weight can have a problem with the bottom edge of the band under their arms folding up over itself. This problem can be overcome with side boning placed vertically in the band's side seams. If you are short-waisted or petite and this boning pokes into you, look for a bra with a band made of heavier gauge fabric to act more firmly to prevent the rolling.
Bra Backs:
The bra back is truly the backbone of any bra, yet it's given little, if any, attention by most women during the
bra shopping exercise. This is unfortunate since there are two key bra back features to consider before purchasing
a bra. They are the fabric and closure.
The fabric used to make the bra back is what really separates a cheap bra from a quality bra. An inferior fabric that is
somewhat flimsy and overly stretchy fatigues quickly. The bra's cups may be fine, but the back fabric quickly stretches to
its maximum. The bra must be thrown away after only a few months of wearing. A bra back made with sturdy quality shapewear-like
fabric such as powernet, will provide great support without stretching to its maximum with each wearing. Bras with quality bra
back fabric last years longer. When choosing a bra, give a tug on the back fabric. If it stretches easily, its lifespan is limited.

"Now that's what I call Mongolian barbeque."
"It says Mongolia. Does this look like Mongolia to you?"
The Mongol Empire was a Great Empire[1] stretching across Europe, Asia, and essentially any place reachable by horse. It was home to a diversity of cultures and ethnic groups, all of whom were incidentally subjugated by the native horde of rampaging barbarians. Founded by Genghis "Temujin" Khan, Mongolia quickly rose to becoming the chief exporter of pain and destruction in its region, establishing trade routes to bring their hand-crafted yak bone arrows straight to their customer's torsos.
In spite of the natives' remarkable dedication to "returning all existence into oblivion"[citation needed]., Mongolia never managed to achieve its goal of destroying the entire world. Incidentally, it was ranked as one of the most hydrophobic nations on the planet, having remained as strangely averse to water as the day it was founded.
The word Mongol is based on the Cyrillic word Монгол (pronounced MOH-ron), which roughly translates to "unstoppable swarm of psycho-bronies" and the Russian version of "911". The term was chosen during an assembly between the Mongols and their first trade victims in which Genghis wanted "a catchy name for my new parade of death". Other ideas that were considered include, брокколи (cranium crushers), киви (hell's satans), ананас (the doom patrol), and "Manpunch".
Pre Genghis Khan
A blue wolf took as his spouse, a fallow doe. And the two bred at the head of the Onan river. Thus, the Mongols were born [2].
Though historians were initially skeptical of this claim, recent studies have shown that the indigenous tribes of Mongolia do in fact share common DNA with the blue wolf, the fallow doe, and what scientists believe to be some kind of predatory dinosaur. Unfortunately, this unique combination of genes also led to the Mongols being so "bucket-on-head insane" that they had to almost constantly kill each other. This situation was only made worse by their equally insane neighbor, the Huns, a group nomads who actually had the intelligence to only target other people.
Fortunately, the Mongols were spared from extinction when the Hunnic tribes decided to lose a few brain cells and take on the Chinese Empire, who by then were so high up the tech tree that they were punching out automatic-crossbows and kevlar. And so, following their hilarious defeat at the hands of a dirt wall [3], the Hunnic tribes were expelled to the uninhabitable wastelands of Europe where they would later find the horror that is modern Hungary.
Genghis Khan
After several more years of in-fighting, the Mongol tribes finally managed to battle themselves into a starkly depressing pit of ennui. Meanwhile, many of them were becoming increasingly angry at "all the great stuff people had and the shit lands they owned" while they still lived in the same yak-scented yurts of their forefathers. It was at that time when the completely legitimate son of a woman and a wolf spirit called Temujin[4] (lit. Genghis Khan) set off to unite all 5.8 million tribes in Mongolia out of sheer boredom. After countless battles and a ridiculously outrageous kill-streak, Temujin finally reached his goal of a unified Mongolia and renamed himself Genghis "Temujin" Khan (lit. Genghis Genghis Khan Khan).
And so, with his newly gathered raptor-hybrid army, Genghis Khan embarked on an epic quest to take over and/or destroy the entire world. His hordes (not to be confused with his 'whores') traveled across Eurasia, partaking in various activities with the locals such as: "raze their towns to the ground", "make mountains out of human skulls", and "comedy corpse/puppet theater". Eventually, through a mix of cunning strategy and blood-rage, the Mongols managed to conquer a sizable portion of the Asian and European mainland. However, they continued to stubbornly insist that there was nothing beyond "the horrifying, kraken infested oceans" that could possibly be in need of conquering.
Despite his penchant for destroying civilization and "eviscerating the fruits of the earth", Genghis Khan established a remarkably solid administration during his reign. It was said that a naked woman could carry a bag of gold from one end of his empire to another, without getting attacked and/or molested. Naked men however, weren't so lucky. It should be noted, that the effectiveness of the Khanate's laws was in part due to the strict punishments backing them up. Such punishments include getting killed for stepping inside an officer's tent without permission, getting killed for peeing in running water, or getting violently bound by 19 hot women, for littering. For some reason, candy wrappers and chewed up bubble-gum became extremely abundant after that mandate.
At his height, Genghis Khan had over 1,573 wives 4,908 children, and millions of illegitimate offspring, turning his succession plan into "an unsalvagable bile-spewing snafu". And so at his death, Genghis Khan was forced to pass on his vast domain to the three million members of his heir, all of whom promptly killed each other until only three remained. Unfortunately, like the rest of their kin, the three surviving inheritors knew close to jack-squat on how to rule a pan-continental Empire with millions of ethnic groups that basically want each other boiled in lava. And the case was no different for the fourth heir to the Great Khanate, Kublai "the Incompetent Fatso" Khan.

Mongolian culture has always been centered on Horsemanship, yaks, oddly shaped dildos, and knocking down Chinese based walls. Little kids were often taught how to ride and topple earthquake-proof fortifications before they could even walk, talk, or be potty trained. These skills riding long structures and using dildos would come into use during combat. Mongols would conquer and/or rape anyone on their travels . Since they were always on the move, they had no actual houses, and instead lived in cheap tents called yurts, or the rubble of walls they recently knocked down. Like the Chinese, the Mongols treat women as sex objects. The men were known to like pale women with unibrows and big hips. Men also liked getting drunk on nasty crap made from horse milk, because they were too poor to get real beer.
The traditional religion of Mongolia was Shamanism, which was basically listening to crap that crazy old people made up. Apparently the Mongols invented the sport Polo, as well as their star athlete Marco Polo. Recently, Mongolians have been known for a new tradition of killing survivors of plane crashes, and knocking down some Chinese guy's "City" wall.
A little known fact about Mongolian culture is their penchant for dances, their national dance being Beyonce's "Single Ladies"
Aside from cattle, horse stuff, and beef, the Mongols never really had any sort of economy. They make very few things themselves, and mostly steal Chinese people's stone bricks and sells them on the market. But for the past few centuries, Mongolia hasn't been in any position to steal stuff, so they must be content with being poor stupid bastards who live in gold lands.
Mongolian exports 95% of the world's gold (the kind you find in your country's ground). gold is a very essential part of Mongol diets, as it contains valuable nutrients because it is yellow. Bread is yellow, too. Mongolian bread is made of gold. Mongolian gold is also considered one of the highest quality golds in the world. Its pasty texture and musky aroma are sought after by gold collectors all over the world. The United States imports a great deal of Mongolian gold in order to fill McDonald's hamburger patties, which is a major contributing factor to the restaurant chain's success. Argentinian "gauchos" (cow cowboys that do things to cows) use Mongolian gold to feed their cows. Mongolian gold is also extremely fertile, and so, the Mongolian government has begun a program to fertilize the entire country using its gold. . However, this fertile gold has allowed for the Mongolian beef industry to expand its influence all over the solar system, reaching as far as Yavin 4.
Mongolians and the World
One may wish to explicate further the physics behind the spleen size of Mongolian bluegrass players, on which Raffi Cavoukian did not elaborate. One kazooist from Ulanbator (originally from Boston, Missouri), Terrrigattaditna Eeenimeenidissellini, had an abnormally large follicle hemorrhage whilst playing his kazoo solo on that disco hit "Keep your weenuses off my rhino", which, of course, explains why Tommy from the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers returned so many damn times to the series. However, this brings up another important banana, why did God ever decide to put a beige or brown chin on a human being in the first place, instead of perhaps a crimson, maroon, or even lime-colored chin? This issue could indeed shift your opinion on whether scotch tape was initially designed to fuse Celine Dion's pet crab to a chainsaw, or whether Bart Simpson is actually just wearing yellow make-up. Moving more towards a contemporary view of how turkeys are taking over the world with crate-size vibrators from Bernie and Phyl's (quality, comfort and price! that's nice!); Robert Tilton, the world's fattest hagfish, encourages everyone to oot ooples and banoonoos.

It might be that Apple just made life easier for publishers pondering if they should start developing for smaller-sized devices.
Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs commented during the company's quarterly earnings call yesterday (Monday 18) that he did not believe on an "avalanche of tablets" about to enter the market: "It appears to be just a handful of credible entrants, not exactly an avalanche".
About the seven-inch screens of some of those devices, Jobs said that "This size isn't sufficient to create great tablet apps in our opinion…Given that all users will already have a smartphone in their pockets, giving up precious display area to fit a tablet in our pocket is clearly the wrong tradeoff".
Earlier in October, during the WAN-IFRA 3rd International E-Reading & Tablet Conference, Craig McKinnis from Gannett Digital Ventures, US had already expressed skepticism about a smaller tablet format: "I'd actually be curious to hear from the audience if they have similar concerns or thoughts or if there's just a completely different opinion in Europe than there is in the United States of a seven inch device. But it's quite possibly a negative trend that's coming along in the industry that tablet makers believe a little bit of a smaller screen size might be the, at least for devices a significant market for them. We think for publishing it's probably not a good thing".

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said Tuesday it is pulling out of the proposed redevelopment at East Ninth Avenue and Colorado Boulevard, ending a tumultuous, nearly four-month battle between developer Jeff Fuqua and neighbors who opposed the giant retailer.
While the move is a win for neighbors who vocally opposed the project, it deals another major setback to efforts to revive the former home of the University of Colorado hospital, which has been vacant since 2007.
Neighbors and city leaders envision the former hospital site transitioning into a mixed-used development with residential and retail uses, but previous developers have been unable to make the project work in the down economy.
For its part, Walmart said it is not abandoning its efforts to establish a beachhead in Denver.
"While Walmart will not be part of the planned redevelopment of the former University of Colorado Health Sciences campus, we will continue to evaluate other opportunities to serve Denver-area customers and expand access to affordable groceries," the Bentonville, Ark.-based retailer said in a statement Tuesday afternoon.
The chain's announcement came just hours before a scheduled neighborhood meeting of Mayfair Neighbors Inc. where Mayor Michael Hancock and Fuqua were expected to discuss the project. Ultimately Fuqua did not attend, but his spokesman Marcus Pachner was there.
Cheers erupted when attendees learned Walmart had backed out of the project.
Neighbors had attended previous public meetings and offered a laundry-list of reasons they opposed having a Walmart anchor the development. Their complaints ranged from noise and traffic to the retailer's business practices and low wages.
A handful of neighbors said they were eager to see the site redeveloped — no matter who the anchor tenant was, but they appeared largely outnumbered by the project's opponents.
"My feeling is, you know what? The neighbors can win," said Wayne Sirmons, president of Mayfair Neighbors Inc.
Fuqua earlier in the afternoon called Walmart's withdrawal an unfortunate occurrence for the city and neighborhoods surrounding the development site, but he emphasized that the decision will not impact plans to move "full-speed ahead" with completing the project.
"Ninth and Colorado remains a priority for Denver, but we want a project you can be proud of that creates jobs and reinvigorates the area," Hancock told the crowd at the neighborhood meeting. "The last thing we want to see is this site boarded up for another decade."
The site has been shuttered since the hospital moved to Aurora in 2007. Developer Shea Properties initially was selected by the city to purchase and redevelop the site, but the company was unable to fulfill its contract with the city.
Sembler Co. of Atlanta then stepped in to purchase the site, but changes at the company soon led to another switch. Fuqua took over the contract last March after splitting from Sembler, his former employer.
Fuqua planned to seek tax-increment financing to help pay for demolition and infrastructure of the site, and he previously said the only way he could make the project work was by bringing Walmart on as an anchor.
Those plans appeared to run aground when City Councilwomen Mary Beth Susman and Jeanne Robb announced Sept. 21 they would not support tax-increment financing (TIF) for the project. They cited neighborhood opposition to Walmart, as well as the proposed project's imbalance favoring retail over residential.
The councilwomen's announcement sent Fuqua back to the drawing board to evaluate financial restructuring of the project
"Walmart worked diligently to enhance this premier project, exceeding the requirements of the design plan and creating an exciting neighborhood concept store," Fuqua said in a statement "While we would have preferred to continue with Walmart as one of our lead retailers, we are moving full-speed ahead with restructuring our retail and financing plans to move the development forward."
He said he would continue discussions with city officials and neighborhood groups, adding that the core design and mixed-use plans remain.
Delia Garcia, a spokeswoman for Walmart, said the Ninth and Colorado site presented "multidimensional challenges for the developer, the city, the University of Colorado and the community — irrespective of which prospective tenants might be part of that development."
Attendees at Tuesdays' meeting quickly shifted their attention to what kind of retailer they do want on the site. They submitted ballots on whether they support the project as proposed — but with a general big- box store rather than a Walmart.
"I don't think the fight is over," Sirmons said. "Walmart is not what we wanted, but there are a lot of other things that aren't what we want either."
