For the first time ever in our state there's no smoking allowed on one beach and you will get a ticket and fine if you light up.
Lawmakers have debated the smoking ban for for nearly two years in Wrightsville Beach and Tuesday voters approved it.
Some beach goers we talked with on the Crystal Coast aren't in favor of it. Nonie Robinson of Emerald Isle said, "I think on the beach it's open, you're in the open, you should be able to smoke on the beach "
Robinson wonders how will it be enforced. "Unless somebody is out there tattling , call the cops, there is a smoker down here."
The Wrightsville Beach town council repeatedly voted against the ban three to two because of concerns of how to enforce it.
Officials at the Crystal Coast say they don't forsee this ban ever happening here, and the reason Wrightsville Beach could pass the ban is because it is owned by the town. Other beaches would have to wait for the state to make it law.
The mayor says starting in the spring if you smoke at Wrightsville Beach you'll get a ticket and a fine of up to $50.00.

He popped the question and she said "yes" at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. A local pair of high school sweethearts got engaged Saturday.
"I do have one more question: you will marry me?" asked Tyler Hainley. His girlfriend immediately responded, with a big smile on her face, "Yes!"
This pair of high school sweethearts got engaged while on a personal tour of the penguin exhibit at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.
Not only do they both love animals, but 19-year-old Tyler picked the penguins because like humans, they choose partners for life. They even wear matching bands, like wedding bands.
Tyler and 18-year-old Alex Suits have been together for three years. They met at the Classical Academy in Colorado Springs.
They have both been waiting for this moment.
"I feel relieved and just overjoyed because I've been waiting for quite a while to do it," said Tyler.
"Happiness, I've been waiting to marry him since I met him," said Alex.
Not only was this a special surprise but the engagement ring is special. The gold band was Tyler's great-grandmother's ring and the diamond belonged to Alex's grandma.
Best wishes from 11 News to the couple who just couldn't stop smiling.

,p>It's easy to eat more vegetables! Check out some of these great tips to make half of your plate fruits and vegetables. Eating vegetables is important because they provide vitamins and minerals and most are low in calories. Vegetables are good fresh, frozen, or canned. Buy fresh vegetables that are in season for maximum flavor at low cost. Frozen vegetables are quick and easy to use and are just as nutritious as fresh ones. You can stock up on vegetables by getting those in the can. Canned vegetables are a great addition to any meal, so keep canned tomatoes, kidney beans, mushrooms, and beets on hand. Be sure to check the label for "reduced sodium," "low sodium," or no salt added."

Talk:Black Receiver
Back to page
this wiki
Should we label the pebbles that Kabuto uses to control the impure world resurrection as chakra receivers? It seems to me that they are —This unsigned comment was made by Timeel39 (talk • contribs) .
- They're mentioned in the technique page, and probably in Kabuto's ability section. That should be enough until more focus and information is given on those pebbles. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:34, December 27, 2010 (UTC)
"Nagato also seemingly went to some lengths to retrieve them"
Wasn't this because if one was to find a way to trace the chakra, (say as how Naruto did by stabbing himself with it), they would of been able to find him? I mean they didn't have to do it like Naruto did, but they would of found a way eventually. Just like everything else they come across, they find a way. So maybe something like "Incase they track it back to him" or something of the sort? SusanooUnleashed (talk) 13:14, December 16, 2011 (UTC)
- That's just there to distinguish between it and the Chakra Disruption Blades. There could be other reasons why he went back for the receiver apart from fearing that they'd trace him.--Cerez365™ 13:36, December 16, 2011 (UTC)
Why don't you list him as an user? He used them to locate Pain. --126.96.36.199 (talk) 00:26, January 9, 2012 (UTC)
- I think he used them more a s a tool to find pain than actually wielding them. ROBO731 (Talk) 00:30, January 9, 2012 (UTC)
- All Naruto did was stab himself with it so he'd have an easier time sensing Nagato's chakra, which went straight into the chakra receiver. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:32, January 9, 2012 (UTC)
Moving around.
Should something be added how the receiver moves on the Jinchuriki once they go through a transformation and get bigger? SusanooUnleashed (talk) 11:49, January 12, 2012 (UTC)
- I s'pose.--Cerez365™ 12:39, January 12, 2012 (UTC)
Shouldn't it be said that these can be used to control others?Undominanthybrid (talk) 14:10, May 16, 2012 (UTC) "...Doing so allowed him to transmit his chakra into the bodies and control them remotely as if they were his own body." ?--Cerez365™(talk) 14:33, May 16, 2012 (UTC)
I meant living, breathing or ressurected people, not dead bodies.Undominanthybrid (talk) 15:02, May 16, 2012 (UTC)
- I'd assume you're referring to Naruto during the invasion? That's being counted as Chakra Disruption Blades, though from the dialogue in the chapter this may need to be re-evaluated. Otherwise, those Edo Tensei's were as good as corpses.--Cerez365™(talk) 15:18, May 16, 2012 (UTC)
chapter 598, a new variant

- Definitely a variation. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:41, August 23, 2012 (UTC)
As for the new variants, I'm confused on how Tobi created them like that. I understand if he used his S/T jutsu to bring them to him, but it doesn't look like something the Statue would create. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 23:56, August 23, 2012 (UTC) Bobbob
Maybe he is a blacksmith--Elveonora (talk) 00:01, August 24, 2012 (UTC)
I'm wondering about that...they look more like a giant version of Nagato's disruption blades, or a new weapon altogether that's related to the blades and receivers...remember those things aren't for offensive use, but to transmit Nagato/Tobi's chakra and control the Six Paths, while the blades were to paralyze and disrupt a foe's chakra flow...this however was stated as a weapon that seals tailed beast powers, so i'm not quite sure. Darksusanoo (talk) 00:58, August 24, 2012 (UTC)
either way, tobi couldv'e simply altered their shape (before or after they were made). they seemed like chakra recievers that were just shaped diferently besides wev'e never seen them being created. still they are almost certainly chakra recievers, as they made those outer path chains and were being used to suppress tailed beasts' power.126.96.36.199 (talk) 01:17, August 24, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan
um creation of all things?126.96.36.199 (talk) 02:58, August 24, 2012 (UTC)
Creation of All Things so far has only been said to be used by the Sage of the Six Paths. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 17:31, August 24, 2012 (UTC) Bobbob
From how i see it this shouldn't chalked up with the chakra receivers, given how their functions are very different...one is used to control the Six Paths of Pain, the other ones are used to restrain Tailed Beasts, plus the differences in shape and size...if a different article was made for the blade variant which is basically an elongated version of the receivers than these should get the same treatment. Darksusanoo (talk) 17:16, December 28, 2012 (UTC)
Split. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:53, December 28, 2012 (UTC)
Kinda confused now, do they come from the statue/Hashirama's clone/Madara ??? They also sprouted from Obito, wonder why it isn't mentioned.--Elveonora (talk) 16:28, October 17, 2012 (UTC)
- The rods are from the Outer Path. Madara could have simply let the statue send the receiver down there or something. As for the bit with Obito, it's being held off on precisely for that reason.--Cerez365™(talk) 16:47, October 17, 2012 (UTC)
- The rods are made utilizing yin-yang release. One needs either the rinnegan or both senju and uchiha dna to make them. Proof of this is when obito first made them when he first activated his mangekyo sharingan. MangekyoSasuke (talk) 04:47, October 18, 2012 (UTC)

Ramsay Bolton
this wiki
- "If you think this has a happy ending you haven't been paying attention."
- ―Ramsay Snow to Theon Greyjoy
Ramsay Snow is a recurring character in the third season. He is portrayed by Iwan Rheon, and debuts in "Dark Wings, Dark Words". He was first referred to in Season 2, but his name is actually mentioned in "Mhysa".
Ramsay Snow, better known as "The Bastard of Bolton", is Lord Roose Bolton's bastard son and only living child. He stayed behind at the Dreadfort when his father left for the south to fight in the War of the Five Kings.
Season 2
Ramsay besieges Winterfell in the name of King Robb Stark as ordered. He infuriates Theon Greyjoy - who currently held the castle in the name of the Iron Islands and his father - by blowing a horn all through the night. In the morning of the next day, when Theon rallies his men to defend the castle, he is betrayed and knocked out cold by his men, who take Robb Stark's offer of mercy for any ironborn in the castle except Theon, as expected. However, the castle is sacked by Ramsay afterwards and instead of letting the ironborn walk free he flays them alive.[1]
Season 3
Following the Sack of Winterfell, Ramsay and his men take Theon to the Dreadfort, where the ironborn prince is subjected to gruesome tortures. Embarking on a twisted campaign of psychological manipulation, Ramsay poses as an ironborn emissary of Theon's sister, Yara, and falsely claims to have been sent by her to liberate him.[2]
Ramsay Snow sends a false report to Harrenhal, where the main force of the Northern army has established, of the sacking of Winterfell by the ironborn, of the disappearance of Bran and Rickon Stark, and the unknown whereabouts of Theon Greyjoy[3]
Later that evening Ramsay returns, and releases Theon, provides him with a horse and tells him to ride east to Deepwood Motte, where his sister is waiting for him. Theon's captors, however, track him down and capture him again. As punishment, their leader attempts to rape Theon. Ramsay appears and swiftly dispatches the kidnappers with bow and arrow, deepening the bond of trust between them.[4]
Afterward Ramsay promises Theon to take him to Deepwood Motte. Some time later the men reach a holdfast, Theon questions them having to sneak inside since Yara's men are loyal to her. Ramsay warns Theon that some of the men belong to his father Balon. As the mysterious boy struggles to open a locked gate Theon confesses his jealousy of Robb's status, the murder of the two boys he passed as Bran and Rickon and acknowledges that Eddard Stark was his true father. After opening the gate Theon and Ramsay enter a darkened room. The young man lights a torch and Theon, much to his horror, notices he's back in the torture chamber. Armed men enter and Ramsay claims that Theon killed their comrades and escaped but he has brought their captive back. Kicking and screaming, Theon is refastened to the rack, as Ramsay drops his facade, grins sadistically and tells the men to put Theon "back where he belongs".[5]
Ramsay awakens Theon with a horn to continue torturing him. He threatens to remove Theon's pinky finger if he cannot guess Ramsay's true identity and their current location. After several guesses, Ramsay tells Theon he is correct in guessing that Ramsay is the brother of Torrhen Karstark, and that they are in Karhold. However he then points out that Theon never asked if he was a liar. He admits that he was lying, and begins flaying Theon's finger.[6]
Theon is freed from his constraints by two young women, Myranda and Violet. They give him water and clean his wounds. Theon is apprehensive about their aid, until they disrobe and begin pleasuring him. The three are soon interrupted by Ramsay, who enters the chamber wielding a knife. After taunting Theon about his sexual prowess, he orders his men to restrain Theon as he appears to remove Theon's genitals.[7]
Ramsay admits that the rumors about Theon were true, and that he did have a "good-sized cock", before momentarily tricking Theon into believing that the pork sausage he is eating is his penis. Ramsay talks about amputees having phantom limbs and wonders if Theon will have a phantom penis, feeling an itch whenever he sees naked girls. When Theon begs to be killed, Ramsay states that he is no good to him dead. Ramsay decides to give Theon a new name, and beats him until he starts calling himself "Reek". Ramsay also sends a letter to Balon Greyjoy and a box containing Theon's penis. He threatens to flay every ironborn in the North alive if they have not left by the full moon.[8]
Spoken by Ramsay
- "My mother taught me not to throw stones at cripples, but my father taught me aim for their head!"
- ―Ramsay Snow to Theon Greyjoy
Spoken about Ramsay
- "I will kill that man. I don't care how many arrows they feather me with, how many spears they run through me - I will kill that hornblowing cunt before I fall!"
- ―Theon Greyjoy
- "Ramsay delivered the terms. The ironborn turned on Theon as we know they would. They handed him over trussed and hooded. But Ramsay... well, Ramsay has his own way of doing things..."

Behind the scenes
Iwan Rheon's character was announced and then credited only as "Boy" in order to keep his true identity as Ramsay Snow a secret until "Mhysa."
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Ramsay Snow is Roose Bolton's bastard son. He is an ugly man. Even splendorous garb cannot disguise this fact. He is big boned and slope shouldered, with a fleshiness to him that suggests that later in life he will turn to fat. Ramsay is a sadistic psychopath, serial rapist, and rumored cannibal. He is cruel, savage and wild, taking delight in torturing others. He is quite fond of the old Bolton custom of flaying their enemies alive.
Ramsay is introduced in A Clash of Kings, though his to appearance in the TV series was pushed back until the third season. He is first mentioned by Lady Donella Hornwood that he masses troops at the Dreadfort. She sends him message inquiring about his intentions, and he rudely answers that it is none of her business.
Following the deaths of Lady Hornwood's husband and son, Ramsay forces her marry him and to sign a will that names him as her heir, so he can inherit her lands. He rapes her and locks her in a tower, and does not give her any food. When Ser Rodrik Cassel finally arrived to free her, it was too late. She starved to death after eating some of her own fingers.
Ramsay and his servant "Reek" catch a peasant girl and raped her to death. Reek continues even after the girl dies. It is then when Ser Rodrik's men find them. Ramsay is supposedly killed, and Reek taken prisoner to Winterfell. Rodrik wishes to put Reek to death, but needs him alive as a witness to many of Ramsay's crimes, hoping that after Roose Bolton hears his tale, he will abandon his claim for the Hornwood lands.
After Theon takes Winterfell, Reek offers to serve him if released from captivity. He becomes one of Theon's supposedly more trustworthy attendants, helping him hunt for Bran and Rickon. It is Reek who advises Theon to kill and flay two unnamed miller's sons to pass off as the Starks, and Theon accepts his advice. Afterwards, Theon orders Reek to secretly murder Gelmarr, Aggar and Gynir for their knowledge of the truth, and he does. Since Theon needs a scapegoat, he falsely accuses Farlen the kennelmaster and executes him. Theon does not kill Reek, fearing that the blackguard hid a written account of what they had done.
After Rodrik defeats Dagmer Cleftjaw at Torrhen's Square, the Northmen march on Winterfell to liberate it. Theon refuses to give up the castle, using Beth Cassel as hostage to prevent Rodrik from attacking, and his men prepare to make a final stand. Reek offers to help Theon by taking a large sum of money to the Dreadfort and returning with much-needed reinforcements, asking for Palla in return. Theon reluctantly agrees, since he has no other choice. He promises to give Palla to Reek providing that he brings two hundred men.
When Northmen led by Rodrik Cassel surround Winterfell, an army of 600 men bearing the flayed man of House Bolton arrives, lead by a mysterious armored captain. As Rodrik offers his hand in friendship, the captain cuts off his arm and the Bolton army attack the other Northmen and defeats them, suffering only minor casualties. They enter the castle and the captain presents Theon with the bodies of Rodrik, Leobald Tallhart and Cley Cerwyn. He removes his helmet and reveals himself to be Reek, then reveals that he is in fact the real Ramsay Snow. He had switched clothes with the real Reek when Rodrik arrived to cheat death and get into Winterfell - while Reek was killed by Rodrik's men. He tells Theon that he would much enjoy the use of his bed-warmer Kyra instead of Palla, and when Theon refuses, Ramsay knocks him out. Ramsay and his men then put Winterfell to the torch and its people to the sword, as well as abducting Theon and killing almost all the other ironborn. In addition to Theon, Ramsay took two of Lord Frey's grandsons who were being fostered at Winterfell, and a few of the castle staff, among them Palla, Old Nan, and Beth Cassel.
In the months following his victory and later the death of Robb Stark and his entire army at the Red Wedding, Ramsay passes the time by regularly taking one of the captured female servants from Winterfell, stripping her naked, then releasing her in the woods around the Dreadfort so he can hunt her for sport. If he feels the woman gave him "bad sport", he will rape her, flay her alive, and then slit her throat. Ramsay rewards those who gave him "good sport" by still raping them, but slitting their throats before he flays their corpses. Ramsay does this quite openly and without fear of reproach; indeed he openly boasts about his hunts, making grim trophies out of the girls' flayed skins and even making the skins into capes which he wears in public. He feeds their flesh to his dogs.
Ramsay is the product of rape: years ago Roose wanted to have sex with the beautiful new wife of a poor miller on his lands, so he had the miller hanged and raped his wife. Roose only acknowledged Ramsay in his teenaged years, thus Ramsay spent a rough youth in poverty as the bastard son of a poor miller's widow - until he somehow found out about his parentage and insisted on claiming his "rights". The result is that - in contrast with Jon Snow, the bastard of Winterfell - Ramsay is a crude, almost half-feral savage who is uneducated and knows nothing about courtly behavior. When Ramsay does send (dictated) letters to his enemies, they are often extremely crass, unstructured, and blunt, laced with profanity and taunting threats. While the letter Ramsay sends to Balon in the Season 3 finale of the TV series is not present in the books, it closely matches his "writing style" from the novels.
It is unclear from the books whether Ramsay contacted his father after Theon let him go, got orders from Roose to destroy Winterfell and followed them, or that he committed all the above actions on his own and only later reported to Roose.
Roose Bolton and the Freys lie about their reports from what happened at Winterfell. Lothar Frey and Walder Rivers inform Robb and Catelyn that they got a letter from Lord Frey's grandsons: Winterfell has been destroyed and Ser Rodrik was killed by the Ironborn, but the survivors were taken to the Dreadfort by Ramsay. Lothar and Walder claim not to be sure of Theon's fate.
Ramsay's torture and emasculation of Theon are not directly described in A Storm of Swords, but rather alluded to in A Dance with Dragons. Ramsay does not send a letter and a box containing Theon's genitals to Balon Greyjoy, the Greyjoys remaining oblivious to Theon's survival. Ramsay does send his father some skin flayed from Theon's finger, which Lord Bolton shows to Robb and Catelyn before the Red Wedding as proof that Theon is being punished for his betrayal. Ramsay sends letter of warning to Asha, to which a piece of Theon's skin is enclosed, but that happens much later. Neither Asha nor any of the Ironborn know what happened to Theon, believing him to be dead (though a few ironborn lords point out that his death was never confirmed).

|List of episodes
Simplified list of episodes
"SpongeBob vs. The Patty Gadget" is a SpongeBob SquarePants episode from season five. In this episode, Squidward makes a machine that cooks Krabby Patties, so SpongeBob challenges it to a "patty war".
- SpongeBob SquarePants
- The Patty Gadget (K.I.A)
- Squidward Tentacles
- Eugene H. Krabs
- Sandy Cheeks
- Patrick Star
- Patchy the Pirate (cameo)
- King Neptune (cameo)
- Don The Whale
Patchy the Pirate is back, and reads a story about Squidward and SpongeBob. Squidward invents a machine that he calls The Patty Gadget, and he insists that Mr. Krabs fire SpongeBob because it can make Patties faster and Mr. Krabs does not have to pay for it. Then, Mr. Krabs declares Krabby Patty War against the Patty Gadget. First, SpongeBob seems to be faster, but the machine is not an easy challenge for him. Everyone was enjoying the fight (except for Patrick who had to go to the bathroom). Squidward then bursts out the handle of the Patty Gadget and SpongeBob kills the enemy off by using his powerful kicking and punching powers against it. However, SpongeBob faints after winning the fight. Everyone thinks that SpongeBob was buried, but it was actually the Patty Gadget. Squidward cried after discovering the death of his machine with the words, "R.I.P, my Krabby Patty Gadget". Patchy closes the book with the picture of the machine's tombstone and then the word The End beside it. The word The Legends of SpongeBob in the end of the book just like from the beginning.

- This episode is available on the Atlantis SquarePantis, Season 5 Volume 1, Complete 5th Season, and First 100 Episodes DVDs.
- The style in which the story is portrayed is similar to books written by the legendary illustrator, Dr. Seuss.
- This episode shows that Squidward might have a hand for inventing.
- This episode proves that Squidward does know the recipe for the Krabby Patty. In past episodes, Squidward says he doesn't know the recipe at all. Though he could have learned it over time.
- This is the only episode that's not a special with Patchy the Pirate in it.
- This is the second time Patchy is a narrator. The first time was in "Christmas Who?."
- The way Patchy narrates the episode is similar to how the story "T'was the Night Before Christmas" is told.
- Every last word Patchy says, it rhymes.
- Potty always appears with Patchy. However, in this episode, Potty doesn't appear.
- At the beginning of the episode, Patchy opens a book. Its cover says The Legend of SpongeBob. A similar title is seen on the "Legends of Bikini Bottom" episodes.
- This episode clearly demonstrates Squidward's sheer hatred for SpongeBob, as he tries to get SpongeBob fired and replaced by a machine.
- This is the second time Squidward goes to the cemetery. The first is "One Krab's Trash." Each time he does so, he is sad, and depressed.
- In Indonesia, Patchy is also confused when SpongeBob isn't buried.
Cultural References
The story is a parody of the legend of John Henry challenging a steam drill. Just like how SpongeBob faints after winning the battle, John Henry passed away due to exhaustion.
- Patchy said 20 patties, but there were actually 15.
- After the scene where SpongeBob faints, there is a normal-sized grave. In the next scene, it was smaller.
- On Squidward's final attempt to beat SpongeBob, he broke the lever on the Patty Gadget, but just before the machine explodes, the lever is in one piece again.
- The grill the SpongeBob hauled to the dining area had no gas/electric line, making it impossible. However, the wire can be seen before the battle.
- Even if the grill was gas, or electric, it was too far from any source of power. Either way it wouldn't operate, unless there is an unseen powerpack on board.

- "Fun? Too much fun - that's always been this family's problem. Fun. Good causes, a good laugh, some stupid dream or some stupid distraction. But never any fucking focus! Never!"
- ―Gerald McReary.
Actions Speak Louder Than Words is the first mission given to Niko Bellic by Irish Mob leader and Packie's brother Gerry McReary in Grand Theft Auto IV.
When Niko meets up with Gerry, evidently, Don Pegorino wants to cause some tension between the Ancelottis and their Albanian muscle. The first step calls for Niko to assassinate some high ranking members. He wants him to kill high-ranking capo Ancelotti member Anthony Spoleto, also known as Tony Black.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Pick up the bomb on Inchon Ave
- Go to the Ancelottis' car and rig it with the bomb
- Go to the back of the Ancelottis' car and rig it with the bomb
- Get a vehicle and move away from the rigged car
- Follow the Ancelottis. Don't let them know you're following them
- Get to a safe point and detonate the bomb
- Call Gerry to detonate the bomb
- Take out the remaining Ancelottis
- Get out of there and lose the wanted level
First, go to an alley way on Inchon Avenue near the McReary house and collect the bomb. The Ancelottis will be meeting with the Albanians in Little Italy. Tony Black's Cognoscenti is parked off an alleyway in Feldspar Street, next to Drusilla's. Get there, plant the bomb on the back of the car, and quickly find a decent car. Tony Black and another member will exit the restaurant and drive off. Follow them back to North Holland. Don't shoot them or get too close. After they arrive, they go to a old factory. Get to a safe distance and detonate the bomb. The car explodes under the gas canisters and Tony is killed in the explosion. Some gang members will survive the explosion. When you finish them off, you get two-star wanted level. After a successful evasion, Niko calls Gerry and the mission ends.
Video Walkthrough
- Anthony Spoleto - Killed by Niko on orders of Gerald McReary.
- Several Ancelotti goons - Several killed in the factory explosion and some of them killed in the shootout by Niko Bellic.
- Some of the Ancelotti gang members shown in this mission are actually members of the Messina Family.

Video: Catholic University President Comments On Pope Resignation
VATICAN CITY (WUSA) -- At Mass at the National Basilica on Monday, the Pope's resignation was on the minds of many people. The Vatican confirmed Monday morning that Pope Benedict XVI plans to resign on Feb. 28. He told others that to be Pope "strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me."
INTERACTIVE: Moments In Pope Benedict XVI's Papacy (http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/Interactives/Pope_Benedict.htm)
The Pope called a meeting of the cardinals to tell them about his decision. He addressed them in Latin, but the statement has been translated to English:
Dear Brothers,
I have convoked you to this Consistory, not only for the three canonizations, but also to communicate to you a decision of great importance for the life of the Church. After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry. I am well aware that this ministry, due to its essential spiritual nature, must be carried out not only with words and deeds, but no less with prayer and suffering. However, in today's world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith, in order to govern the bark of Saint Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me. For this reason, and well aware of the seriousness of this act, with full freedom I declare that I renounce the ministry of Bishop of Rome, Successor of Saint Peter, entrusted to me by the Cardinals on 19 April 2005, in such a way, that as from 28 February 2013, at 20:00 hours, the See of Rome, the See of Saint Peter, will be vacant and a Conclave to elect the new Supreme Pontiff will have to be convoked by those whose competence it is.
Dear Brothers, I thank you most sincerely for all the love and work with which you have supported me in my ministry and I ask pardon for all my defects. And now, let us entrust the Holy Church to the care of Our Supreme Pastor, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and implore his holy Mother Mary, so that she may assist the Cardinal Fathers with her maternal solicitude, in electing a new Supreme Pontiff. With regard to myself, I wish to also devotedly serve the Holy Church of God in the future through a life dedicated to prayer.
From the Vatican, 10 February 2013
The Associated Press reports that the Pope's brother, George Ratzinger, said doctors had told the pope not take any more trans-Atlantic trips. He had already cut down on traveling abroad.
John Garvey, president of Catholic University of America says the Pope's visit 5 years ago left a lasting mark on campus. Garvey admitted the now 85-year-old pontiff looked frail, even then, yet he remains a giant figure.
The resignation allows the Vatican to hold a conclave before Easter to elect a new pope, according to the Associated Press, and Pope Benedict XVI could influence who is chosen as his successor.
EXPERTS: Top 5 Picks For The Next Pope (www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2013/02/11/vatican-next-pope/1908839/)
Pope Benedict XVI tweeted the following on Sunday: "We must trust in the mighty power of God's mercy. We are all sinners, but His grace transforms us and makes us new."

After arriving in Nacrene City and discovering that the Nacrene Gym is inside the city museum, our heroes meet a very scared man. His name is Hawes, and it turns out that he's soon to become co-curator of the museum. He claims to have seen ghostlike apparitions recently, just as the museum is about to launch what is called the Secret Artifact Exhibition. The gang listens to the details of what has been happening, and Iris decides that an "angry spirit" is putting a curse on the museum. Cilan disagrees — he says that there must be a scientific explanation for everything.
- The Moveset the Yamask used in this episode is as follows:
- Psychic to move the armor and skeleton of a Dragonite.
- Haze to create a fog.
- Rain Dance to cause indoor rain.
- Will-O-Wisp for a spooky flame.
- The title of the episode is a parody to the movie "Night at the Museum"
- This is the last episode so far Pikachu used Volt Tackle.

Post-Secular Britain? Religion, Secularity, and Cultural Agency:
Please submit abstracts electronically to:
Conference information: <http://www.uni-oldenburg.de/anglistik/konferenz2008/>
----Since the end of the Cold War, and even more so since '9/11', geopoliticalconstellations appear to offer renewed incentives for casting social andpolitical conflicts and affiliations in religious terms, and there arethose who see in this the symptoms of a new, post-secular phase in Europeansocieties.In British culture, the religious encoding of cultural conflict has a longtradition, from the Reformation and the Civil War to the GloriousRevolution and Protestant Succession, from the Penal Laws and the worlds ofdissent to Catholic emancipation and the long debates aboutDisestablishment, and from the many variants of regional sectarian conflictright down to the London bombings of July 7, 2005.What do we make of this religious encoding of the cultural? How do we haveto read it? Can we simply translate religious terms and lines of conflictinto secular ones and vice versa? What difference does (or did) it make,whether one's position and actions are cast in religious or in secularterms? What constraints does it put on one's scope of action, what optionsdoes it open up? Beyond the personal choices of individuals, one way ofaccounting for the attractions of such religious encoding is to assume thatit may open up spheres of agency which a secular encoding cannot offer.This conference aims to shed light on such questions, and it invitescontributions that would test this hypothesis and engage with the culturalimpact of the specific relations and tensions between the religious and thesecular, across a broad range of contemporary and historical examples.Potential areas of inquiry include * Cultural codes and concepts of religion * Religion, regions, and the production of cultural difference * Religion, tolerance and the state * Religious coding of political debates * History of secularity and of religious pluralism in Britain * Religion, gender and the public sphereIf you wish to present a paper, please send a brief abstract (not longerthan 350 words, ready to be published), which includes the title of yoursuggested presentation, your name and your institutional affiliation, tothe conference organizers.=================================== From the Literary Calls for Papers Mailing List cfp_at_english.upenn.edu more information at http://cfp.english.upenn.edu===================================Received on Sat Apr 12 2008 - 12:16:32 EDT

I checked my edits way back to 2012, and I found this, as well as this. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 10:55, April 15, 2013 (UTC)
You may have not understood me well. I did not call Tony a non-contributing zero. I called the people posting false release dates on websites "non-contributing zeros" because they want to worry gamers for no reason.
Plus, even if I would have called someone a non-contributing zero directly, I wouldn't get in trouble because it's not an insult, and it is part of freedom of speech, which is defended by the first ammendment.
Also, I've read the rules.
The main purpose of GTA Wiki staff is to keep the wiki clean and free of vandalism, to keep it running smoothly, and mainly to help editors.
Therefore, it is not your part to change my attitude.
Good day to you!

From what you told me, I can say he's half-right; the SMGs used by the FIB are modeled after the MP-10 (which is a version of the MP5). As for the second thing you decribed, it sounds like he did a mess. Gonna check history of the pages before I'll decide if he deserves a block or not. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 17:24, April 20, 2013 (UTC)
- Well, I checked his edits. Hard to say it is an act of vandalism. He did good faith edits, with no intention to harm the page. It doesn't justify a block. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 17:34, April 20, 2013 (UTC)
- We had this Policy page all that time? Hmmm, interesting - it doesn't appear on the policy list. Anyway, thanks for this policy I can now block him. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 18:44, April 20, 2013 (UTC)
I've done it already.
Yeah, we're going to the top, the league is almost ours. Benfica and Sporting are both one of each other's rivals, both play in Lisbon. But as they got humiliated to the place where they belong (indeed, they were one point away from the waterline (the line that divides the teams that will stay in the 1st division and the ones that will be depromoted to the 2nd division) at one point this year...we're 37 points away from them haha!!! And 4 points away from Porto.
So, it looks like Steua is gonna be the champ over there, huh?
The Epsilon Program's new "version", I saw it yesterday, it looked really nice. GTA V keeps getting better and better.
Kifflom to you too, brother!
Mikey Klebbitz (talk) 19:44, April 23, 2013 (UTC)
I took care of what you told me yesterday.
On another note, 0-4, Barça vs. BM...it made my day, yesterday, but when I heard of the 4-1 loss of RM, against Dortmund...
I didn't think they'd pose a threat to Real... :(
Mikey Klebbitz (talk) 09:24, April 25, 2013 (UTC)
Of course, the only one actually doing anything was a portuguese man! :D
I didn't know you knew of the eternal Portugal-Spain rivalry.
I could trust a gipsy thief better than a spanish guy...I never trusted brazilians that much, either. Except for my Wiki friends, and some of my colleagues at school.
Dumb king of ours, Peter IV (D.Pedro IV), gave them independence before time and lost the Cisplatina region (currently Uruguay) that was under our domain to the spanish...
How great we were once, the first that ever roamed those large oceans. Can't compare to what we are now...
Mikey Klebbitz (talk) 18:24, April 25, 2013 (UTC)
Our countries ain't that different when you think about it.
The Romans, they feared the Lusitans (Os Lusitanos), great warriors that controlled the north of what today is Portugal, and they only won after the Lusitans betrayed their great leader, Viriato, for a couple of Roman coins. Anyway, the Roman killed the Lusitan traitors that helped them take over.
The Count Henry (Conde D. Henrique) was only given the north-west of the territory controlled by the Spanish king at the time (around 1056). That and his illegitimate daughter, while Henry's cousin, Raymond was given most of the territory and the king's legitimate daughter, when both had fought the Moors with the same courage, for the Christians. Henry died when his son, the first king of Portugal, Afonso Henriques (Henriques meaning "son of Henrique") was very young. Theresa, the illegitimate daughter of the spanish king, the one who had married Henry, then started ratting us out to the Spanish. When Afonso Henriques grew to be a man, he continued his father work, was nominated king of Portugal at his 40's, and defeated his mother's army in a war.
Then, we had a lot of fights with Spain, and we won most of them (we're not even a 1/4 of Spain's size), except for the one in Angra do Heroísmo, Azores (Açores) in the 17th century. After that one, they took us over. They bled us dry, short of money, short of troops, in bad relations with its enemies...but they only had time to have three kings rule both Spain and Portugal. We nailed them again, who did they think we were, the bastards...Also, before that, when Portugal was the RICHEST ($§€£) country on Earth and we divided the world with the Spanish, they broke their oath (and the Pope who was too friendly with Spain did nothing about it). They stole the Antillas from us. If they hadn't done that, perhaps some of America could have been Portuguese at some point.
Then, in the 19th century we said "No." to the French (like that meme, you know?) when that midget, Napoleon told Europe that he was going to take over, and do this, and do that, because we always were friends with England, their enemies. The French came here three times, and three times we kicked them back to France (the ones that could stand on their feet and hadn't been nailed here), with a little help of the English.
We never got told what to do by anyone, except the Pope. And these rich pricks at the EU.

Thanks for the heads up. And when exactly is the current background going to change? --Boomer8 (talk) 02:58, April 26, 2013 (UTC)
Re: Futo
I would say that the Romanian links would be merely coincidences. The design of the car does definitely bear very strong resemblance to a AE86 Levin coupe, such to the extent that for most people there's not really any alternative for its real-life inspiration. There is quite a bit of trivia on the page that links the Futo to the AE86 as well. JBanton (Talk | Contribs) 15:47, April 26, 2013 (UTC)
- I guess it's probably due to long-term exposure, spending quite a bit of time having something to do with a vehicle of some sort. Photographic memory trained from designing and drawing for so long helps as well, thanks for asking. JBanton (Talk | Contribs) 16:10, April 26, 2013 (UTC)
I'm on board with your idea for the new background. Sorry about my late response, I've been busy with college stuff. Tom Talk 13:01, April 27, 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, they did.
But lemme tell you, we're going to give 'em hell, over here!!! Ain't nobody beating us in their home, and in ours at the same time, I'm telling you, we're going to nail Fenerbahçe.
I still think Basel will win Chelsea.

OK, good luck following us. But then again, for that to happen, you can't play against us before the finals.
Bring on Steua, with Mutu then!
It'd be interesting to see.

The clrs added a lot of blank space, making the article look rather odd. As for the image, we do not use the watermark images for vehicle articles, as can be seen on the majority of vehicle articles. As for the numbers, there's still signifcance, so the whole fact shouldn't be removed. JBanton (Talk | Contribs) 11:19, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

So, it looks like Chiriches learned in a good place, right, haha!!!
About GTA V, what was your favorite trailer? Michael's, Franklin's or Trevor's?
My opinion is:
- The most personal: Michael's;
- The funniest: Trevor's;
- The best: Franklin's.
Mikey Klebbitz (talk) 20:15, April 30, 2013 (UTC)
Sorry, school work took me all of yesterday.
Yeah, Michael looks much younger now than he did in the 1st trailer.
I think GTA V is gonna be a great game, and its protags are awesome.
Let's hope the game is as great as it looks...

Let me tell you, the referee was such an ass, that it made me aggressively shout all of what I thought of his family...
Anyway, we did win, even while being ripped off by that idiot.
Chelsea's the last one on the "kill list".
Also, we're 1st and we only need one more victory to secure the Portuguese League (Liga ZON-Sagres).
What about Steua?

He used to edit a lot, cleaning up pages much faster than I did. Sure, he's not very active now, but he still edits whenever he can.
I believe Jeff didn't like your suggestion to demote one of our longest-serving (non-b'crat) admins, and it is possible he thought that your request to him looked like another attempt to be favored by him.
On a side note, I thought on a staff consisted of 3 b'crats, 6 admins and 12 patrollers. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 12:00, May 3, 2013 (UTC)

- It isn't the right size. Sticking with the current background is probably the best option, like I said, just skyscrapers are quite dull, in order to get the image to fit it would be very blurred, and the ferris wheel looks fine. Do you have any ideas about the colours of the theme? Tom Talk 10:01, May 4, 2013 (UTC)

The background looks good. Well, it will take my eyes a few days to recognize the light colors, since they were already used to the dark tones of the previous background already. But, it looks good.

Hey Dodo, I want to know what you think about Shotgun9009. I am really holding my tongue over here, because he is an immature fool who does nothing for this wiki and all he does is convey how everyone is stupid but him.

No problem man, I understand. (Talk) 14:14, May 7, 2013 (UTC)
Well I don't, maybe a header which merges with the current background would be better. Also that image is about seven times too big to be the background, the file size is huge. Tom Talk 15:16, May 7, 2013 (UTC)
Also, the white gap was caused by the fact that I had to delete the middle of the image so that the file size was right, it should be gone now, I can't see it on the main page. Tom Talk 15:40, May 7, 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not saying it merges, I'm saying maybe we should change it to a new images that does. Because the colours do clash, any other ideas? And ok, but that image is over 1mb, and only a 150kb image can be used for the background, hence why I can't use a bigger image for the background. Maybe we should choose a new background image or something. Tom Talk 18:00, May 7, 2013 (UTC)
I've already renamed it.
I can't see any change in the background or in the header...

So I made it, then sure enough a few days later you guys have one. Is this a really trippy coincidence or were you guys inspired by my banner to do it?

Your ice temple would work great for the deity Bhoryal
Hi there. So I want to chuck my hat in the ring for the ICE challenge this month (deadline on the 31st of Jan). I need some inspiration to get something finished for this. I want to do a high fantasy map - some bizarre temple in an unusual place. Ideas:
1. A cloud temple on a mountain - part of the temple on the peak and other parts suspended on the cloud itself.
2. An ice temple (no pun intended for this competition!). A cavernous Ice vault with sharp icicles and crevasses. Not sure what interesting featuers this could have, though a fractured web of ice bridges on the approach over the crevasses would be quite nice.
3. A fire temple (okay, this is all get a little elementat focussed - not my original plan). A volcano lair with lava flows, pillars of flame and basalt altars.
Any other thoughts for nice high fantasy areas with interesting terrain? All inspiration gratefully received!

Okay. Let's play with the ice temple idea a bit. Any thoughts on good features of an ice temple? Crevasses are a must. I'll also go for great icicles and ice pillars. An ice waterfall might make an appearance.
I'm starting to think about this as being a shrine at the end of an almost impossible hike through treacherous lands. So it is less a temple and more of a holy place.
What other icy fun can people think of? Also, how would a god of the bitter cold wish to be worshipped? A simple altar seems a bit bland and benign for such a being.
You could also create a the effect of a stained-glass image (in blues and whites) as sunlight pierces through the ice from above - I'd even place transparent shafts of light causing kaliedoscope effect on the floor coming from the direction of the sunlight.
Ice sculptures could serve as statuary - and if its an evil temple, frozen victims could serve as statuary...
Perhaps a cold fog could exist in a crevasse and seep out into the altar chamber, though that might obfuscate the floor too much.
If the Ice Temple was beneath a glacier accessable via a crevasse the entry tunnel to the altar could be misaligned along a "fault" or large crack in the ice since glaciers still move...

I always think of ice gods as being stern, severe, and harsh thus demanding of worship that's more deed or performance based rather than outright fawning, bootlicking, or sacrifice based (as in animal or human sacrifice). I could see some value being placed upon gems and jewels, diamonds and sapphires rather than rubies and emeralds. Steel might be acceptable since it can be used to shape the ice and silver for its color. Of course wolves and bears would be totems or maybe go obscure and use walrus tusks and whale bones. It would almost have to be on a mountain to let the winds howl through and snow drifts to pile up...like an outdoor shrine with statues around some sort of courtyard with a raised dais at one end with an altar/throne on it or something like that (climb the mountain then climb some steps as symbology for climbing the mountain). Maybe have the dais on a cliffside so that the god could survey the world from atop his perch. I could ramble on with this some more but I just thought I'd pop out some brainstorming. Hope it helps ya some
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

My Maps ~ My Brushes ~ My Tutorials ~ My Challenge Maps
Excellent thoughts there. I think the beings frozen in ice is a must. The light is going to be a very important factor in this as it will show the ice for what it is. Frozen blood should surround any sacrificial area. I like the idea of the howling winds as well - so possibly a shrine inside a mountain top glacier.
Frozen statuary sounds good too, and drifting mist and snow...
The more I think about this, the more I see that my standard approach of a black ink line followed by colour isn't going to work so well. An ice temple is going to look weird with strong black outlines. Perhaps I need to take a shot at a more painterly approach. Definitely something to investigate.
The concept of stained glass patterns from light thrown through a curtain of ice is lovely too. Well, this promises to be a challenge. Now if anyone has an ice temple coming up in their adventure, you can always slip in some requirements here and you might just get an ice temple to fit your needs!
Right, off to play with some sketches now in between figuring out dark matter annihilation in proto-halos.....
Perhaps start with a blue-ish gray background and draw with white lines instead of black, and work in your normal style that way...

What if you put a large frozen creature under the floor, which is polished to a high degree of translucency? Ooh! And it's mortally wounded, but the god froze it there instantly to save its life and now it slumbers, awaiting some hero (or villain) to revive and heal it.
Bryan Ray, visual effects artist
I'll just brainstorm some ideas here...
I can see a large ice window behind a great ice throne. The ice window being sort of like stained glass. The ice throne is suitably sized for a Titan. Along the walls are the bodies of those that attempted the journey but died. They serve as an honor to the ice god. Sort of a gallery of the devoted. Before the throne is a great crevasse that serves to keep the devoted back from actually getting too close to the ice god for fear that their body heat might warm him too much.
The throne itself is composed of ice sculptures. Great polar bears as the arm rests, and an whale fluke as the back rest with the symbol of the god carved into it.
There is a passage that leads around to the outside of the "window" that leads to a great ledge from which he can look to the south across the barren lands in search of the fire goddess whom he fell in love with as a youth and before they were forever separated when the curse of their domains were laid upon their shoulders.
There is a great ice sculpture of a fiery woman in the center of the hall that serves to remind him of her.
Bear and wolf pelts serve as the only other furnishing and as a place for the priests to sit while they worship.
In the far opposite corner of the temple are the actual living quarters for the few priests that were strong enough to make the journey and serve the god. Their rooms are kept at a comfortable 32 degrees so as to not melt the temple, but be warmer than the outside. The stay warm by wearing the furs of the animals whose meat the live off of, and have fashioned their religious symbols and weapons from the same animals' bones since wood is scarce.

- Race To The Top Education
- Dec 11:
- St. Vrain wins more than $16 million Race to the Top funding
- Dec 6:
- Colorado wins Race to the Top money for early childhood push
- Dec 17:
- Colorado misses out on early-childhood Race to the Top funds
After three failed attempts, Colorado has finally landed a Race to the Top grant.
"We're extremely happy," said state Education Commissioner Robert Hammond. "Obviously there's been a lot of hard work and disappointment in the past. Even though this is a reduced amount, we believe it will be extremely helpful."
Colorado was one of seven states that won money for this round of Race to the Top. The fund was set aside for finalists that didn't receive money in the second round.
Nine states were eligible for a share of $200 million provided by Congress. Colorado received $17.9 million.
U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan said all the states funded in this round were finalists that had already earned the department's trust.
"We had a high level of confidence in these states," Duncan said. "We were simply looking for them to articulate their plans and ideas."
Because the grants are smaller than in the first two rounds — Colorado had originally applied for $175 million — the original phase's two applications had to be rewritten to limit the scope.
Putting together the application cost the state $60,000 this year, but the cost was covered with funds that education advocacy groups helped raise.
Colorado focused on four areas covering two projects: implementation of new state standards, including creating assessments and teaching resources for each new standard; and implementing educator evaluation systems.
"We've really been moving forward on this work anyway, so it will accelerate the momentum," said Jill Hawley, the state Education Department's chief of staff and strategy. "We've had such a demand for our services around educator effectiveness. We expect we will be able to reach more districts."
Duncan, who called Colorado a leader in education, said it was the state's persistence with reform that impressed him.
"Colorado didn't stop their reforms," Duncan said. "They are pushing forward with or without our investment. That's exactly the attitude we want."
Half of the money will be distributed directly to interested school districts in the coming months. The rest will help beef up centralized state support, through at least four full-time staff members and additional regional employees who will help school districts train teacher and principal evaluators.
Last week, the federal Department of Education announced winners in the third round of funding for early-childhood education programs. Colorado — one of 37 states to apply for a portion of the $500 million available — had hoped to bring home nearly $60 million but finished 12th, three spots away from the money.

This article has been corrected in this online archive. Originally due to an editing error, the application cost was incorrectly stated. The correct amount is $60,000.

Birkenstock Blue Footbed versus Custom-Made Orthotics
Birkenstock is a German orthopaedic footwear company and has been manufacturing footwear since 1774.
The Birkenstock arch suppport, or more commonly known as the "Blue Footbed", was Birkenstock's first mass produced product. The Blue Footbed is designed in the shape of a healthy foot, contouring to fit all three arches in the rear of the foot. The current version has been tuned to perfection with the use of today's modern computer imaging technology. The philosophy behind Birkenstock's approach to orthopaedic's is to support the foot as if it were healthy, knowing that since the foot is quite flexible, it will return to it's original shape.
The Blue Footbed is made out of a flexible cork and lined with silk, one of the most environmentally sound investments in foot health. The benefits are evident with the realignment of the bones in the feet and the consequent realigning of the human skeletal system. This results in improved posture, increased blood circulation and reduction of stress on all of the structural joints, ankles, knees, hips & spine.
Custom-Made Orthotics are prescribed to a patient who has either foot pain and or other structural issues causing pain. The process involves taking an imprint of the patient's foot, usually in a foam box, and then either casting a plaster cast or sending the imprint away to be "matched" to the appropriate orthotic. The majority of today's custom orthotics are simply stocked on a shelf, and are not actually manufactured to specifications. There may be a greater success rate with those that are manufactured.
The philosophy of the custom-made orthotics seems to be that custom is better, therefore the price can be raised to the limits that the market will bear. Unfortunately, in my opinion, doing the custom orthotics is a mistake. If you are in pain (the reason that you would seek help) chances are that your feet are out of alignment. If they take an impression of your feet when you are ailing, they will supply you with an "orthotic" (and I use the term loosely here) that will only support you to this level of misalignment. In other words, rather than putting total support under your feet, they are providing you with a shim, to stop your foot from collapsing any further. To further add insult to injury, a large percentage of these custom orthotics are made out of a hard plastic and provide no give, so your feet have to suffer even further.
So, which is better for you? You be the judge, but in my opinion the Birkenstock Blue Footbed is by far the best solution.

Get Ready to Market Cattle
ORANGE CITY, Iowa -- Changes in packer requirements will affect the information cattle feeders must provide to market cattle. To help feedlot producers learn about and adapt to these changes, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, Iowa Beef Industry Council and Iowa Cattlemen's Association are co-hosting a series of meetings, "Beef Quality Assurance Certification and Assuring Cattle Care" in northwest Iowa.
"Our consumer has always expected beef produced to be safe and wholesome for their family. The beef industry recognized this many decades ago and developed a voluntary certification program called 'Beef Quality Assurance' for producers to help them produce a safe, high quality product," said Doug Bear, director of industry relations, Iowa Beef Industry Council.
Beth Doran, beef program specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach, adds, "But, now consumers want to know more information and packers have listened closely to consumers' requests. They want to know how the animals are cared for – how they are fed and managed."
A series of meetings will help producers understand these new changes in marketing cattle:
- July 7, 1-3 p.m., Iowa Lakes Community College Auditorium, Emmetsburg. Park in the northeast parking lot and use entrances 1, 2 or 3.
- July 7, 7-9 p.m., Northwest Iowa Community College Auditorium, Sheldon. Park in parking lot #1 and enter Building C.
- July 14, 1-3 p.m., Community Center, Moville. Located at 815 Main Street next to the library.
- July 14, 7-9 p.m., Sac County Fairgrounds, Sac City. Located on east Main Street. Just east of the Raccoon River bridge. Meeting will be in the 4-H Building (old skating rink).
Participants may attend any session. There is no fee to attend, but preregistration is encouraged. To preregister, contact Bear by phone at 515-296-2305 or by email email@example.com or Doran by phone at 712-737-4230 or email email@example.com.
ISU Extension and Outreach puts the university's research and resources to work throughout the state. Extension and Outreach is about people and education is our mission. We're focused on feeding people, keeping them healthy, helping their communities to prosper and thrive, and turning the world over to the next generation in better shape than we found it

Whitney is an experienced user of Normal-type Pokémon, being the Gym Leader of Goldenrod City. However, due to Suicune evaluating the Johto Gym Leaders' strengths, it can be ascertained that she is not a strong Trainer, as Suicune never challenged her. It is also seen during the Gym Leader Tournament, that when Whitney faced off against Misty, she was defeated easily.
Whitney is identical in appearance to her game counterpart.
Gold, Silver and Crystal Chapter
Whitney is recording a session at the Radio Tower with Mary, when Gold bursts in. He notices a Smeargle sitting on the bench besides Mary, as Whitney berates him for interrupting their recording. When the manager gets angry at the two of them, Whitney directly blames the commotion on Gold, while he does the opposite. As reports flood in with positive reviews of the broadcast, Whitney is ecstatic that things worked out so well. She instantly hounds on Gold, stating that she was the one who gave Smeargle to Mary, and the two begin to bicker again. The manager alleviates the situation, announcing that Whitney and Gold will race one another from Cherrygrove City to the National Park and back. Whitney proclaims that she will win the race for Mary, as Gold tells her to stop bragging.
As the manager signals Whitney and Gold to get ready, she uses her Miltank's Spin Attack to knock Gold off balance. When Gold accuses her of cheating, Whitney informs him that there was no pre-ordained rule that said Pokémon were not allowed to be used. Whitney shoots ahead, with Gold in close pursuit. However, Whitney comes across a huge tree blocking the route, and the TV crew informs her that they cannot bypass it. Whitney expresses her anger that Gold will catch up to her, taking it out on the crew. Frustrated with waiting, Whitney orders her Miltank to attack the tree with Tackle, but it was able to withstand the attack. She is surprised at this, as Gold attempts to attack with his Explotaro. Suddenly, the ground begins to shake, as a giant Rhydon appears and kidnaps Whitney.
Gold uses the Sudowoodo to attempt a surprise attack on the Rhydon, which successfully prises Whitney from its grip. However, in the fall, Whitney breaks her arm. When they return to the Goldenrod Radio Tower, Gold proclaims himself as the victor, which prompts Whitney to state that she will win, if they ever hold a rematch. Whitney then faced off against an ice replica of Suicune, which nevertheless was able to decimate all of her Pokémon. However, with assistance from Pryce, Whitney was able to defeat it. Later, during the Gym Leader tournament, Whitney is arranged to fight against Misty, which ultimately results in her defeat.
However, she managed to prove herself useful for once as she was the first to discover the Mask Of Ice's identity who was actually Pryce, the gymleader she befriended. (Though Pryce was suspected by Morty, Gold and Suicune.) She also revealed how the Masked Man and Pryce could be at the same place, explaining that Pryce created a robot disguised as the Masked Man and controlled it via morse code with his cane.
|Miltank is Whitney's strongest Pokémon, used mainly during her bicycle race with Gold, where it attempted to hold off a Rhydon, but got defeated. Later, Miltank faced off against an ice replica of Suicune, and was again easily defeated. When it fought against Misty's Starmie during the Gym Leader tournament, it was easily defeated. Miltank's Moves: Spin Attack, Tackle, Stomp, Milk Drink, Dynamic Punch, Return, Heal Bell, Rollout.
|Miltank ♀
|Cleffa was used in Whitney's fight against the ice replica of Suicune. Its nickname is Fafa. Cleffa's Moves: Attract, Sweet Kiss.
|Cleffa ♂
|Igglybuff was used in Whitney's fight against the ice replica of Suicune. Its nickname is Buffbuff. Igglybuff's Moves: Attract, Sweet Kiss.
|Igglybuff ♂
|Smeargle was a Pokémon that belonged to Whitney, before she gave it to Mary prior to the start of the Gold, Silver and Crystal Chapter. It was first seen drawing upon Gold's face while he was asleep. Smeargle was then chased around Goldenrod City by Gold, but he was unable to catch it. When he pursued it to the Radio Tower, he discovered that it belonged to his idol, Mary. Later, Smeargle was used by Whitney in the fight against the ice replica of Suicune. Smeargle was able to smudge its body slightly, which allows Whitney to see through its ice-replication strategy. During the HeartGold and SoulSilver Chapter, it has since returned to Whitney's possession. Its nickname is Smea-Smea. Smeargle's Moves: Sketch, Flamethrower (through Sketch).
|Smeargle ♂

WASHINGTON (AP) - The job market for new college graduates is brightening but remains weaker than before the Great Recession began.
The Labor Department reports that the unemployment rate for 2013 college graduates - defined as those ages 20 to 29 who earned a four-year or advanced degree - was 10.9 percent. That was down from 13.3 percent in 2012 and was the lowest rate since 7.7 percent in 2007.
Female graduates fared better than men: 9 percent were unemployed as of October last year, compared with 13.7 percent of men. The economy has been generating jobs in many low-wage fields - such as retail and hotels - that disproportionately employ women.
Unemployment for recent grads was slightly above the overall 9.6 percent rate for Americans ages 20 to 29 in October.

Only this time, the 2009 McDonald's All-American and Miss Basketball came back to the Target Center as a member of the WNBA's Washington Mystics, who were in town to play the Minnesota Lynx. Hill, who was the fourth pick of the WNBA draft after an outstanding career at Ohio State University, had a host of family and friends present. These included father PAUL, who starred at South as a guard in the 1980s, brother PJ who played at Minneapolis North and was a point guard at OSU, and sister TANYSHA SCOTT who starred at DeLaSalle and the University of Minnesota-Duluth. Hill scored one point in seven minutes of play in the Mystics' 79-75 win. Continue Reading →
