- Bogrod: "Madam Lestrange! Dear me! How — how may I help you today?"
- Hermione Granger (as Bellatrix Lestrange): "I wish to enter my vault."
- — "Bellatrix Lestrange" (actually Hermione Granger in disguise) asks Bogrod to enter her vault.[src]
Bogrod (d. 1 May, 1998) was a goblin and a bank teller at Gringotts Wizarding Bank in the late 1990s. In 1998, during their break-in of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger put Bogrod under the Imperius Curse in order to enter Lestrange Vault undetected. Whilst the trio tried to escape, Bogrod was burnt to death by the security dragon.
Early life
- " […] an old goblin who was examining a thick gold coin through an eyeglass."
- —Description.[src]
Bogrod was apparently an elder Goblin. At some point in his life, he was employed by Gringotts Wizarding Bank and worked in the capacity of bank teller at the main offices in Diagon Alley, by the 1990s.[1]
1998 Gringotts break-In and death
- Bogrod: "You have… identification?"
- Hermione Granger (as Bellatrix Lestrange): "Identification? I — I have never been asked for identification before!"
- Bogrod: "Your wand will do, madam."
- Harry Potter: " Imperio!"
- — Bogrod asks for "Bellatrix"'s identification, and Harry Potter, under the Invisibility Cloak, places him under the Imperius Curse.[src]
As part of the hunt for Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes, Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger had to break into the Lestrange Vault at Gringotts Wizarding Bank to retrieve Helga Hufflepuff's cup.[2]
On 1 May, 1998, Hermione Granger, disguised as Bellatrix Lestrange; Ronald Weasley, disguised as "Dragomir Despard"; Harry Potter and Griphook, both under the Invisibility Cloak, set off to Diagon Alley. Upon their arrival at the bank, they were joined by Travers, a Death Eater. Given the
recent events at Malfoy Manor, after which the occupants were confined to the Manor, Bellatrix's presence at the Bank aroused Travers's and Goblins' suspicion, so Harry Potter placed him and Bogrod, the clerk who was checking Bellatrix's identification, under the Imperius Curse so that they cooperated.[1]
While Travers was sent away, Bogrod escorted them on a cart through the underground levels of the bank. The cart went through the Thief's Downfall, after which Bogrod regained his conscious self momentarily before Harry Potter cast another Imperius Curse at him.
Bogrod lead them past the security dragon, and opened the door to the Lestrange Vault to them. When the treasure inside began to multiply as a result of the Geminio and Flagrante Curses being placed on it as a security measure, Hermione and Ron had to struggle to keep Bogrod from falling under the tide.[1] When Griphook left the Vault with Godric Gryffindor's Sword and joined the Goblins that tried to stop the trio Bogrod left too and, still confused by the Imperius Curse cast on him, stood within the security dragon's reach and was subsequently burned to death by a jet of fire it breathed.[3]
Behind the scenes
- Bogrod was portrayed by Jon Key in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.[4]
- In the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, Bogrod fails to escape with Griphook and is scorched to death by the dragon. In the book, what happened to Bogrod is unspecified, and we last hear of him when Ron and Hermione struggle to keep him from falling under the tide of multiplying gold at the Lestrange Vault. His remains was never shown except in LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 where his skeleton appears after getting burned.

- Title
- Wake and acoustic responses of a circular cylinder to freestream fluctuations
- Author(s)
- Widjaja, Ronny; Ooi, Andrew; Chen, Li; Manasseh, Richard
- Abstract
- An upstream turbulence/fluctuation has been shown to increase the unsteadiness in the wake of a three-dimensional bluff body (Mittal, 2000). This inevitably will influence the radiated acoustic waves in the far field. In this paper, the effects of fluctuating freestream disturbances on the wake structure and sound radiation from a two-dimensional flow over a circular cylinder are investigated. The flow field is obtained by numerically solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. At a Reynolds number of 40, the addition of fluctuating disturbances in the freestream causes the otherwise steady wake to oscillate at the frequency of the disturbance. This oscillation is enhanced with increasing energy and frequency of the fluctuations. The corresponding acoustic field is obtained by using an Expansion about Incompressible Flow (EIF) method. The computed acoustic field shows a dipole directivity, which is similar to that of a natural vortex shedding. Moreover, using the rms plot of the fluctuations of the EIF source terms, the location of the dipole source in the wake of the cylinder is accurately identified.

Crazy Crow Trading Post LLC is the largest supplier of Native American Indian and American Mountain Man crafts, craft supplies and craft kits in the world! Since 1970, Crazy Crow has grown from a single table at a powwow, to a modern 31,000 sq. ft. office and warehouse complex.
With our roots in the Native American craft supply world since 1970, it's only natural that we would have put together an extensive line of the type craft supplies used by American Indians. The bead trade in North America was originally directed toward Native Americans, and the beads used for other projects today are often direct descendants of the ones developed for trade in the 19th century.
Buckskin and elk were (and are) used widely for Native American crafts, as well as the fur trade and frontier era outfits of those of European descent. We offer a wide variety of leather (and fur) for those specific uses, as well cowhide, latigo, buffalo and sheep (when available) as other contemporary popular leather crafts.
Native American dress is renown for its use of feathers. We supply feathers to be used with both traditional, classic regalia such as warbonnets, as well as the bright colored feathers and plumes associated with contemporary American Indian dance styles. Many of these same feathers, as well as our selection of natural plumage, are also popular with fly fisherman and for general feather craftwork.
Crazy Crow Trading Post also features an extensive selection of jewelry findings and supplies. Many popular jewelry styles can be traced to Native American patterns and styles, particularly those of the southwestern United States. You will find everything you need to make beautiful necklaces, bracelets, earrings, chokers and other beautiful items.
If you're looking for the craft supplies needed for virtually any type of Native American tribal regalia, you've found it! Crazy Crow offers the supplies, patterns and kits to suit everyone from advanced to beginner. We also offer a great selection of readymade items for your powwow dance clothes, camp or home décor.
While we don't carry smokepoles, we do provide all the goods you'll need for your rendezvous outfit and camp. The leather, furs, cloth, beads, bone, and other things you will need are from the same era that we've supplied related to Native American trade goods since opening our doors in 1970.
An often followed general rule of thumb for trappers was to dress like the nearby natives, so an outfit supplying those goods (like Crazy Crow) is your best way to go! We also have large selection of handmade frontier knives, knifemaking supply, hawks, kits, accouterments, powderhorns, bags and much more.
Many thousands of reenactors are members of clubs that reenact famous battles in America's history. We have dedicated online sections to each of these 18th and 19th century American wars. Here we group products that are historically accurate for your outfit, camp or personal items.

Tao Huang,
Grad '91
Tao Huang, a computer programmer in China, didn't know
how to speak English when he won an award to study for one year
in the United States. So he chose a school at which he'd
be forced to learn the language: St. Norbert College in De Pere,
Wis., where he was the only Chinese student out of 1,700.
getting a master's in computer science at Marquette, Tao
answered a newspaper ad for Morningstar Inc. and joined the fledgling
company as a software developer.
1998, Tao was named Morningstar's president of international
operations, responsible for opening offices around the world.
At the same time, he began working on his M.B.A.
2000, he became chief operating officer at Morningstar, managing
day-to-day operations. "We strongly believe our mission
of 'helping individual investors make better investment
decisions,'" says Tao. "As an individual investor
myself, I get lots of satisfaction from creating new products
and services knowing people like me will be better off."
2003, Tao was selected as a "Business Leader of Color" by
Chicago United; he received the 2004 Distinguished Young Alumnus
Award from the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business,
and has been one of Chicago's 40 under 40. He currently
serves as a board member for Asian Human Services, a non-profit
organization that provides services for immigrants.
personal formula for success," says Tao, "is giving
120 percent of my efforts to my work and always looking for
new learning opportunities. Although I have worked for the
same company the last 15 years, I have had many different jobs,
which gives me a better understanding of our business and helps
me to be more effective."

I disagree with this.. like the others. The atmosphere is very important but the method definitely works, you just have to work hard to understand it.
That said, I've also seen the Westside template we use just beat the hell out of some completely newbie lifters--my wife included when she first used it. When we stepped back and gave them a solid chance to build a base, gain a few lbs of muscle,then the gains started and did not stop. Lifters using this method need to have a base level of strength or they need to be monitored very carefully to prevent beating themselves up. If I have a completely untrained beginner come to the gym (or someone with hit and miss training) I always make them do at least 1, usually 2-3 twelve week cycles of 5,3,1. Why? to build base strength, to learn exercise form, get an idea of how strong they are, and to give them a chance to get to know everyone else without getting into the way.
Once they have the base strength, I think the sky is the limit after that.

With the Sram PG 990 Cassette you get the same reliable, lightweight performance BlackBox racers enjoy. This top of the line Sram PowerGlide 2 cassette features an ultra lightweight aluminum spider. The PG 990 rings are then coated with a satin chrome finish for durability.
You know we have chains to go with that cassette. Take a look at our selection of 9 speed chains here.
More SRAM chrome-y goodness, and the hidden red on the backside is just super cool. Insanely light & still rock solid reliable.
Smooth, Clean Shift, Looks, Light Weight. Great Buy.
This is my 2nd Sram cassette in 5 years. Great quality, last a long time, looks very nice in red, sounds great, easy shifting and no complaints. Highly recommended.
Just replaced by old worn drive train and opted for this lighter weight cassette from what I'd been riding. A week in Moab and a month on the trails in Bend later and I am thrilled with the purchase. Smooth and clean.
Good cassette, smooth and clean shifting
Bought this to replace my old shimano cassette. The sram is lighter weight then my shimano and so far im pretty satisfied with it.
Was having some issues shifting with my older Sram paired this w/ 991 chain and X9 shifter NO slip smooth as silk. A great upgrade to my bike and rides. Great value.
Love the SRAM line, had to upgrade to this beauty due to slippage on the rear hub. This has been flawless for a year now!
This is my first time with one of SRAM's higher-end cassettes. Usually I go with XT but I've been using this on my mountain wheels for over a full season now and it seems to be very much on par with XT. The red bling of the spider is nice if it matches your rims or hubs as well.
I have used a lot of SRAM cassettes over the years and they are always solid.
Great 9spd product, I have swapped it out for 10spd setup on 3 different bikes. It shifted flawlessly in all 3 setups ON all 3 bikes (1x9, 2x9, 3x9) still have it and plan to use it on next build!
running 1X9 with x9 derailleur, and shifters - smooth clean shifts, light weight no complaints
the rest of the world is passing me by with 1x11 or 2x10, but I'm still running 3x9. I have SRAM x9 drivetrain. Got a new set of wheels and needed a new cassette to mount. This PG990 is really nice. I've used the PG970 in the past. This seems like a nice upgrade. Build quality looks superb. Light. Love the red internals. Have only put a small amount of rides on it, but so far I'm really pleased with it.
Paired this with SRAMs 991 chain, x7 rear mech, and x9 shifters. Smooth shifting! Once my shifters click I don't even hear my chain moving on this cassette when shifting gears! It all mates perfectly together and I love the red back to match accents on my bike!
This cassette is my lil' buddy. I have put a beating on this thing! The one piece aluminum body is light and mine is anodized red, a nice touch of bling :) This paired with a SRAM 9 speed chain and the SRAM X9 rear derailleur and shifters = Quiet Precise and crisp shifts. I Love this cassette period.

Perkins's tent

Perkins owns a tent that is charmed to be larger on the inside than it appears to be on the outside, most likely with the Undetectable Extension Charm. It has a small kitchen, and several small bunks.
Perkins lent the Weasley family his tent to use for the Quidditch World Cup in 1994 after his lumbago got worse and he was no longer had interest in camping. It was used by the Weasleys and their two guests, Harry Potter and Hermione Granger.
In 1997, Arthur Weasley lent the tent to Harry, Hermione, and Ron for their use during their hunt for Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes. The trio used this tent for several months after leaving 12 Grimmauld Place.Ron soon left, but days later came back after destroying the Locket. Then all three planned to go and ask Xenophilius Lovegood about the Deathly Hallows, when they got back to the tent Harry accidentally spoke Voldemort's name. The tent was lost when Snatchers caught them in 1998 and brought them to Malfoy Manor. After they were rescued, they stayed at Shell Cottage for a time. Bill Weasley lent them a similar tent, although they never had a chance to use it before returning to Hogwarts just before the final confrontation with Voldemort.
Behind the scenes
- During the Quidditch World Cup, Arthur Weasley insisted on erecting the tent without the use of magic, to avoid Muggles accidentally seeing magic. It took Harry Potter and Hermione Granger some time to get it ready, but they managed to figure out the stakes eventually and set it up.
- In 1997-1998, the spell Hermione used to magically set up the tent was Erecto.

KILL DEVIL HILLS, N.C. (WUSA) - "I did something real stupid," said Bill Elwang, 58, who is wearing on his head a contraption called a halo, though it looks more devilish than angelic. It is bolted to his skull with eight screws to keep his spine straight.
Elwang has had the halo since July 4th. That's when he made a split second mistake while on a friend's boat on the Albemarle Sound near Nags Head.
"I was on a power boat and I decided to take a swim. I didn't know it was shallow, of course," said Elwang.
He says the depth gauge showed that they were in about six feet of water, but he didn't realize the boat had drifted. They were on a sandbar in only two feet of water.
"I took a running start and bounced off the boat, head first in to the sandbar. I damaged my neck real bad. And the people on the boat, thank God they were experienced paramedics," he said.
They kept him flat, and supported his neck as they raced to shore where rescue crews were waiting. He had broken five vertebrae in his neck: 2,3,4,5, and 7. Fortunately, and perhaps miraculously, his spinal column was not severed.
The crazy thing is, Elwang knew the dangers of open water better than most. He served as a lifeguard for more than ten years at the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, which is well known for its rip currents. Over the years, he saved dozens of people from drowning in the rough surf.
"Anybody that jumps in uncharted waters, you're asking for trouble. You never know what's underneath the water. It might be a piling; it might be an old rock or a piece of metal. I've always taught that, I was a lifeguard and I always taught that, but I didn't think that day," lamented Elwang.
Though the halo screws hurt, and he's in a lot of pain, Elwang knows he's lucky to be alive, and not paralyzed. His doctor hopes his vertebrae will be healed enough by October to remove the Halo, but there's no telling yet, how much permanent damage there may be. Bill is hoping his story will serve as a reminder to others, of what never to do.
"Think before you leap. Think before you do something stupid to hurt yourself."

The MP5, also known simply as SMG, is a sub-machine gun featured in Grand Theft Auto Vice City, GTA San Andreas, GTA Liberty City Stories, GTA Vice City Stories, Grand Theft Auto IV and GTA Chinatown Wars.
Real life
The MP5 was developed in the 1960s by a group of engineers from the West German arms manufacturer Heckler & Koch GmbH (HK). The company, motivated by the success of the Heckler & Koch G3 rifle developed a group of small arms consisting of four types of firearms (all based on the G3 design layout), where the first type was chambered in 7.62 x 51 mm NATO, the second – using the 7.62 x 39 mm round, third – the intermediate 5.56 x 45 mm NATO caliber and the fourth type – chambering the 9 x 19 mm Parabellum pistol cartridge. The MP5 (short for Maschinenpistole 5) was created within the fourth group of firearms, initially known as the HK54.
In game
The SMG is one of the most powerful submachine guns in the GTA series, with devastating effects to both the player and non-player targets alike. It is arguably a better substitute for the Micro Uzi and Micro-SMG, holding a better rate of fire and more damage per round. However, like the Micro-SMG, the MP5 has the disadvantage of disallowing the player from discharging the weapon while running, allowing the player to only stand or stride while taking aim or shooting. Since its inception in GTA Vice City, the weapon is favored by both the FBI (and GTA IV's FIB) and GTA IV's NOOSE tactical units as a weapon of choice. All renditions of the MP5 hold 30 rounds per magazine.
Each MP5 rendition has a variant in the GTA games. GTA Vice City and San Andreas feature an MP5A3, and GTA Liberty City Stories features the MP5K which looks a little lengthier than the other renditions. In Vice City Stories, the SP89 (a civilian version of the MP5K) makes an appearance, but the model also contains parts of the MP5A3, MP5K and MP5SD. In GTA IV, the MP5 is heavily modified and resembles the look of an MP10. In GTA Chinatown Wars the MP5 is called the SMG, just like any other rendition.

GTA IV + Episodes from Liberty City
The SMG can be purchased at the back-alley gun shops for $2500 and each additional magazine costs $150. It can be purchased from Little Jacob for $1750 and each additional magazine will cost $20. It is basically the most used weapon on multiplayer and a good weapon for single player also. It is a 2 hit kill with head-shots on single player and multiplayer. It has about double the range of an Uzi and almost the range of an AK, but not as much range as an M4. This weapon is good for drive-bys and car chases as it has an high rate of fire and a 30 round magazine, but the Uzi is more suited for that purpose and this gun is more suited for attacking on the ground.
- Schottler - Can be found on an air-conditioning duct-work in an alley between Boone St and Dillon St. This pickup isn't so tricky to get to: walk the alley opposite Jacob's home just to the dead end, jump to the left edge. you can't pull onto the roof near the roof windows so move along this edge left then pull up. It is where the mission Jamaican Heat takes place
- Francis International Airport - Can be found on the top level of the parking garage to the southwest of the airport subway station.
- South Bohan/Chase Point - Can be found on the roof of the crack den the player enters during the mission Escuela of the Streets.
- East Holland - Can be found in an alley between Wardite St and Vauxite St.
- North Holland - Can be found on the roof of The Linen Lounge club on the intersection of Vauxite St. and Ivy Drive North.
- Alderney City - Can be found in the alley where you confront the Triads during the mission Truck Hustle.
- Alderney City - Can be found behind the building where you meet Phil Bell for the mission Catch the Wave.
- Normandy - Can be found atop a gantry crane in Port Tudor.
- Acter Industrial Park - Can be found on the seventh floor of an observation platform of a RON Oil refinery on the southern side of the island. This is a particularly long way to go to get this weapon, however, and is not recommended.
In-game model
HUD icons
- Both sides of GTA IV's MP5s feature "MADE IN SCOTLAND" markings (mirrored on the left side), alluding to GTA IV's Scottish developer Rockstar North.
- In the beta version of GTA IV, there was a different looking MP5 as seen in the picture of the right. It has a stock attached to it.
- The MP5, along with the screwdriver and hammer, are the only weapons that has no spawning location in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
- The SP89 is anachronistic to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, which takes place in 1984, while this variant of the MP5 was not made until 1989. In game it is fully-automatic, while in real life it is semi-automatic. However, it may be illegally custom converted to fully-automatic, as its much easier than to obtain a civilian version than a normal version.
- A shorter version of the weapon, the MP5-K, was cut from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Model and textures for the weapon still remain in the game files (mpfshrt.dff and mpfshrt.txd). The weapon can also be seen in the intro of the game, being used by one of the men who ambush the drug deal.
- Bryan Forbes uses a MP5 in GTA Vice City Stories.

The Dune is an off-road truck in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The Dune is designed as an off-road racing adaptation of a large cab-over truck, outfitted with improved suspensions, off-road tires, five running lights, rollbars, and a two-tone racing livery. Its design is similar to endurance trucks competing in long-distance desert rallies, such as the Kamaz rally truck. Like most trucks in the game, the Dune is only capable of carrying two occupants. The Dune can hit various vehicles very hard because of the shocks.
The Dune cannot be modified at any modification garage.
The four wheel drive Dune features a powerful engine, and as a result, is remarkably good when negotiating off-road terrains, being more than capable of climbing up inclines where most vehicles would have more trouble traversing. It has a powerful acceleration. However, its high center of gravity makes the vehicle unstable when tilting sideways, so caution must be exercised when driving the vehicle along bumpy terrain. The truck's soft suspension does help in minimizing rollovers to an extent, as well as easing cornering. While the Dune is ideal for off-roading, it has reasonable performance on tarmac surfaces as well. The speed and acceleration of the Dune is somewhat moderate. Braking is very good because of the soft suspension and high shocks.
- The Dune is sometimes called "Duneride" in the game files.
- The Dune features a graphic glitch wherein the position of the ground's shine from its headlights is incorrectly located beneath the truck (overlapping its shadow); the glitch is eliminated if one side of the headlights is broken.
- The Dune plays the radio station K-JAH Radio West by default when entered.
- If a player attempts to add hydraulics to the dune through modding, the wheels will glitch and move to the sides of both doors.
- Although the truck is very desired for its performance, the Dune easily tips over and lays on its side until it explodes.
- It's the only vehicle in the GTA Series to be based on a russian truck.
- One will always spawn in front of Blackfield Stadium in Las Venturas after the player has completed Kickstart.

Extended Continuing Care
It is now generally accepted that substance use disorders can be chronic conditions for many patients who enter the treatment system. One of the primary research areas of this Center is the development and evaluation of extended continuing care treatment models that are designed to better manage substance use disorders over time. These models provide care for as long as 24 months, through a combination of face-to-face clinic visits and telephone monitoring and counseling. Research in this area is currently focused on the efficacy of different long-term interventions, methods to enhance sustained participation in treatment, and economic issues such as the cost-effectiveness and benefit-cost of the interventions.

There's still more than a month until Dec. 25, but
its already Christmas Day in Hamilton, Va. - at
least in Jeff and Cassie Lauterette's sun room.
Neal Augenstein, wtop.com
HAMILTON, Va. — There's still more than a month until Dec. 25, but its already Christmas Day in Hamilton, Va. — at least in Jeff and Cassie Lauterette's sun room.
For the past 20 years the couple has erected a miniature Christmas village in their home.
What once filled a single card table now takes 18 card tables.
"This year we had to move it into its own room, it's gotten so big," says Jeff.
Hundreds of intricately painted figurines, standing near lifelike buildings, with an O gauge electric train running through snowy hills brings the village alive.
Check out the village below:
"Each year we have an open house, to let the neighbors see it," says Jeff.
"It's a chance to sit, talk and get away from everyday life."
The project takes two weeks to set up, "but only a half hour to put the whole thing away."
"People just love the holiday spirit," says Jeff.

The judge overseeing the criminal case against Aurora movie theater shooting suspect James Holmes has denied a bid by victims of the tragedy to look at sealed court documents.
Three victims of the July 20 shooting who are suing the theater company had asked to be able to look at the arrest and search warrant affidavits in the case, as well as any transcripts of 911 calls made during or after the shooting.
Judge William Sylvester has ordered the affidavits — which detail evidence against Holmes — sealed to protect the fairness of the case.
In an order issued Tuesday, Sylvester denied the motion from the victims to look at the documents, saying the state's Victims' Rights Act doesn't give victims standing to participate this way in a criminal case.
"[T]here is no language in the VRA that specifically states that 'victims may intervene in an existing criminal case,' " Sylvester wrote.
Sylvester also denied the victims' efforts to see 911 transcripts. Sylvester ruled that, because those transcripts are not in the court file, he does not have jurisdiction over them. Aurora police previously denied the victims' the records, saying those transcripts are part of an ongoing investigation.
The three victims — Brandon Axelrod, Denise Traynom and Joshua Nowlan — sued Cinemark, the company that owns the Century Aurora 16 theater where the shooting occured, in September. They argued that lax security enabled the shooting to happen. Cinemark said the shooting was an unforeseeable tragedy.
Since then, other victims and their families have also sued Cinemark.

January 10th, 2013
While you're frying up some eggs and bacon, we're cooking up something else: a way to celebrate today's food holiday.
January 10 is National Bittersweet Chocolate Day!
Not all chocolate is created equal, and not all chocolate tastes the same. Chocolate, which the Mayans thankfully discovered, is classified by the amount of fat in it. Chocolate starts out as chocolate liquor, the nib of the cacao bean that's been ground down or melted. A fat, usually cocoa butter, is then added to this and it forms a solid substance. The amount of fat and sugar mixed into the liquor determines how the chocolate is classified.
Bittersweet chocolate is most often used in baking. It's good for recipes that have sugar in them as it helps keep the dish from being cloyingly sweet. Next time you bake, try using a combination of bittersweet and semi-sweet chocolate together. And remember, the higher the percentage of chocolate liquor, the better the chocolate is for you!

Is the Shinobigashira rank legit or not? I never saw anything about it, does it come from the third data book? Omnibender - Talk 22:57, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
- I would assume so, seeing how the Shinobigashira was present at the Hyuga fiasco (which the Raikage seems to remember), and seeing how it stands for Head Ninja, I'm gonna assume it has to be between Kage and Jonin.--TheUltimate3 23:00, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
- Shinobigashira is considered a rank in the first databook and the fanbook. The fanbook states that "he acts as the corps commander of Kumogakure's shinobi. Ranking above jōnin, he possesses the necessary authority and merit to be able to represent the village". --ShounenSuki 15:08, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
The "Black" Village?
seriously, its the token black village of naruto
The Head Ninja tried to kidnap, Hinata when she was three I think--Inferuno Ryuu 20:58, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
Yes he did.
Kinkaku Force
Someone needs to create a page about the Kinkaku Force. Thanks.--Bartallen2 (talk) 17:09, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
- The Kinkaku Squad article has already been created. Silver Ninja (Talk) 17:17, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
How common sword users really are.
I think the article has a little to much emphasis on sword users, look: Sword users: Killer Bee, Karui and Omoi (would have learned about swords from Killer Bee), Previous Eight-Tails Jinchūriki, Darui,
Not Sword Users: Samui, A, C, J, Motoi, Motoi's father, 3rd Raikage, all of those guys trying to restrain the 8 tailed ox (yes, swords might not have done much, but it would be a 'you never know, and you need all you can get' situation), Head Ninja guy (could have easily brought a sword in a scroll or something, and would have wanted it just in case if stealing a Hyuga kid), J's partner, the four ninja who found J (though the partner may have been with them, it is hard to tell in the manga), the 3 who kidnapped Kushina Uzumaki, Yugito Nii.
Not a lot of precedent here. Thomas Finlayson (talk) 18:11, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
Clans and Locations.
Well, seems to me that ideally all the hidden village articles should resemble the Konohagakure one, right? That is including clans and notable locations. So in this article shouldn't we have the Raikage's place and that Valley where Taka and Bee fought included? --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 14:27, February 28, 2011 (UTC)
Right then, but the Raikage's residence is fair game for this one, right? --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 19:28, February 28, 2011 (UTC)
Flak Jacket
I saw in Three Tails arc that Kumogakure has different flak jacket, not the white ones. Could it be the village has two different flak jackets? --NejiLoverr26 (Talk-Contribs.-Links) 05:24, May 15, 2011 (UTC)
- It seems that all villages have different variants of flak jackets that have changed over time.--Cerez365™ 11:48, May 15, 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah seems likely. --NejiLoverr26 (Talk-Contribs.-Links) 12:27, May 15, 2011 (UTC)
I do understand that we have a page just for flack jackets but for every village we should have the flack jacket on its page. for example we should have the cloud flack jacket on this page.--188.8.131.52 (talk) 20:55, June 15, 2011 (UTC)Black-Light
- I put the flak jacket on this page like i was saying we should do and someone deleted it. Why? Isnt a wiki supposed to make information easier to find I mean come on we dont even have a link to the freakin jacket and its part of Kumogakure isnt it? Im really tired of all the things I do to help this wiki getting erased, and Im getting tired of how they do some things in this wiki--Black-Light (talk) 19:55, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
Someone should update the special page of kumogakure characters. Can someone do it? LIGHTNING HAWK (talk) 01:46, July 23, 2011 (UTC)
- That's not quite an updatable page, not in the way most other articles are. Those pages are created by using Special:BrowseData, which collects information from several articles through infoboxes. For many chapters now, there's something wrong with the MediaWiki platform, so nothing new is detected. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 02:12, July 23, 2011 (UTC)
Should it be noted somewhere (Maybe in the Trivia section) that this village have a large (Or the largest) dark skin Shinobi group in the Naruto Universe?
188.8.131.52 (talk) 18:21, September 1, 2012 (UTC)
Not really, it's obvious--Elveonora (talk) 18:32, September 1, 2012 (UTC)
I'm curious, Does kumogakure have an ANBU force?
Or would their ANBU force be considered Darui an C (shii) as they are the Raikages right hand me Erika5114 (talk) 04:51, October 29, 2012 (UTC)
You should have added a new topic for that question. Still, Darui and C aren't ANBU to our knowledge, they were bodyguards, but so were Kankuro and Temari who aren't ANBU and Fu and Torune are Root operatives, not ANBU. To my understanding the closest unit they have to ANBU, that we're aware of, is the Kinkaku Force. Though it is likely that all of the Hidden Villages would have adopted some form of Special Forces, ANBU, Hunter Nin, Puppet Brigade, Explosive Corps and the Kinkaku Force are just the ones we know about, though the Kinkaku's status as an ANBU type force, or something more akin to the Seven Swordsman of the Mist or the Twelve Guardian Ninja is unknown. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 05:04, October 29, 2012 (UTC)
- They might or they might not have. We've yet to see them.--Cerez365™(talk) 13:04, October 29, 2012 (UTC)
- They probably have. If they didn't have it, it would probably have been listed when Kishimoto did the "shinobi systems of other villages" in a data/fanbook years ago. That's where we learned of Hunter-nin being specific to Kirigakure, and the Head Shinobi being specific to Kumogakure. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:19, October 29, 2012 (UTC)

- Abstract
- The Australian Taxation Office recently issued two draft determinations, TD 2008/4 and TD 2008/5, for public comment, dealing with the proposed tax treatment of deferred purchase agreement (DPA) warrants, and proposing that a DPA warrant is not a "security" within the meaning of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (Cth). According to the preliminary view of the Commissioner of Taxation, the tax treatment of a DPA warrant would ordinarily give rise to a capital gain or loss; however, the Commissioner also describes circumstances where the gain arising from a DPA warrant could be treated as assessable income. This article examines the two determinations and analyses the tax treatment of DPA warrants in light of the Commissioner's preliminary determinations and relevant tax principles.

The recently released 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans urge Americans to eat a plant-based diet. Plant-based diets have many health benefits. With their emphasis on fruits and vegetables, grains, beans and legumes and nuts, this way of eating is rich in fiber, vitamins and other nutrients.
Does this mean you have to become a vegetarian? Not necessarily, though, people who follow a vegetarian diet generally eat fewer calories and less fat, weigh less and have lower cholesterol levels than do nonvegetarians.
You can still eat meat, poultry and fish in moderation as part of a plant-based diet if you're willing to be flexible. Indeed, many people who eat this way call themselves flexitarians. Want to give it a try? It could be just the jump start you need to begin eating healthier.
Start by going meatless one or two days a week. On those days, try the following protein-rich foods instead of meat:
Plan menus that feature entrees you like and that are typically meatless, such as veggie lasagna, minestrone soup and pasta salad. If you need a snack, try a handful of nuts and some fresh fruit.
Do you have other suggestions for ways to transition to a more plant-based diet? Have you made the transition to a flexitarian or vegetarian diet? Please share your experiences.

Before becoming a Flexitarian I was battling a gastric reflux disorder. My doctor did an endless round of testing and was treating me with medications that did not help and had various side effects. I read a number of books and articles on the subject all with various theories but as I experimented more and more and delved deeper into my research the one "diet" that made the most sense, not just for my reflux disorder but for overall health, was a whole food plant-based diet.
Previously I was eating two and sometimes three meals a day containing meat. When I discovered the Flexitarian diet I thought it would be a great and manageable segway into a healthier lifestyle. Just to be clear I am not overweight and I've always been active and vegetables and fruit were a staple in my diet already. But now I limit meat eating to social occasions and I stick to a vegetarian diet the rest of the time. This seems to work well for me. I can't express how good I feel. Digestively I have never felt better. I feel lighter and I have more enery and honestly I don't really miss the meat. I'm really enjoying discovering new recipes everything from plantains with black beans and rice, vegetable curries and stir-fry's and hearty salads and spreads like homemade hommus. For those that are thinking of moving to a Flexitarian diet - I can tell you that you will start to crave vegetables over meat and you will be amazed at how good you will feel!
Ive decided that this diet is the best for me im a southern woman that needs her juicy burger once and a while. But meats make me feel sluggish. when i eat less and more veggies i feel more active. I limit myself meat to once a month and it varies. Basically what ever ive been craving all that month thats the meat choice. And im going gluten free as well. So it may be difficult but i feel better about this decision everyday.
I adopted a flexitarian diet this past January. It was a good health decision for me, for my health. I have always liked a wide variety of foods and I like to cook, so learning new ways to make beans my primary protein has not been difficult. I was surprised that I don't miss meat & poultry, but it makes sense with the flexitarian approach, because if I really want meat or poultry, it's okay; I haven't fallen off a diet.
I've been a flexitarian for awhile, but never knew there was a term for my eating habits until now. Rather than deciding what kind of meat to base my dinner around, I decide what kind of whole-grain pasta or vegetables I want and add a small serving of organic meat if I feel it's necessary for me to feel satisfied by the meal. For example, I'll use one small chicken breast in the meal to be shared by me and my husband, about 6 total ounces. A diet like this could be quite difficult if you can't find the time to cook, because experimentation with spices and vegetables is surely necessary to create wholly satisfying meals. I have very high energy and a fit, healthy figure and never worry about calories or fat since only eating whole foods with plenty of nutritional value eliminates any need to do so.
I recently became a flexitarian. I did this because it seems to me that many spiritual disiplines that seek a more enlightened life have had vegitarian or near vegitarian diets. I decided to cut down on meat.
I decided that the only requirement I would add to my otherwise unrestricted diet would be that I would only eat meat one time a week. I allow myself any vegitarian dishes I desire and do not restrict eggs or dairy during vegitarian meals. During my meat meal I allow myself as much meat of whatever variety I choose.
Before starting this diet I was pretty overweight but as stated before weight loss was not my goal. Nonetheless I have seen my weight decrease from the 280s to the 240s in a relatively short period (around three months). I also do not feel that I am on a diet, since litterally all foods are allowed in their alotted time and I do not pay any attention to nutritional value or calories.
I am comfortable eliminating meat from my diet.Even before I want eating a lot and I think I had a balanced diet but now I am trying to become vegan and things are a bit diffcult.I dont meat that much but two things I always loved are fish and prawns,generally seafood. I might keep this as once or twice a week.Good luck everyone in their transformation.
I am so much more comfortable eliminating meat from my diet. I have lost 12-13 lbs. and I feel so much better.
I find that live vegetables and fruit are delicious and the steamed vegetables have the natural tastes of the food. It is so delicious that seasoning is not needed. Additionally, the green juice including wheatgrass tastes good and is very beneficial. I will still eat fish from time to time. No more fried foods and fattening desserts.
We've been flexitarians for a year now and I can't imagine ever going back. We took the Treehugger approach - we only eat meat on the weekends. We feel and live so much better. Beyond the health benefits, the environmental benefits are also profound. It's nice to see flexitarianism endorsed by a respected medical community like Mayo. Thanks!
(If you're interested in how we became flexitarians, you can check it out here: http://talesofgoodness.com/2011/06/20/good-all-around-become-a-flexitarian-a-weekday-vegetarian/.) Good luck to all those considering the move.
I have switched from a Western diet to a plant based flexitarian diet for the past two months. I have never felt better! I'm not tired, no more headaches and I've lost 7lbs. Initially, it takes a bit more planning, but I've found several "go to" recipies for quick meals and have been having fun experimenting with some new dishes too. I found two cookbooks from the library which had some very good meatless options that are flavorful and filling!
Haven't had a fast-food burger in a couple of years, and after watching documentaries like Food, Inc. and King Corn, I've tried to stay away from High Fructose Corn Syrup and most processed foods. I recently started juicing fruits/veggies and I crave whole, raw, live foods now. I do feel much better and, because I am a 9 year out gastric bypass patient I also take an organic-based, living multivitamin. I just claimed the title "Flexitarian" Yay!
I use to call myself a vegetarian, but ate seafood. When invited to a dinner at someone's home I accepted meat as a sign of socialability - though having very mixed feelings about it. At home it's all veggies. Heard the term flexitarian a year or so ago. Now I had something I could live with.
I have decided to give this a try. I'm tired of feeling lethargic after eating. I don't like the feeling of a heavy stomach. I wish there was a website dedicated to this so I can learn how to transition successfully. I'm concerned that the lack of information and support could derail me. I'll keep Googling...
After being a life long meat eater I have decided to become a Flexitarian. I just finished a 30 day challenge where I was a total vegitairian. I have to say I never felt better. After having my gall bladder removed I just had so many issues with my digestive system inclusing reflux and actual pain. While on a vegetarian diet all that went totally away. I'm going to eat meat 2 times a week and make one of those time fish rich in Omega III. I'm looking forward to seeing what results this has on me physically long term.
I had no idea that this is what this was called. I recently due to a gluten allergy have had to drastically change my diet. I found it to be nice to eat one vegetarian meal a day excluding breakfast. If I eat too much meet my body feels like it craves for vegetables. What helped me switch over was eating a salad at lunch and dinner. Then I started trying other neat dishes with only vegetables like asparagus soup(easy to make, sweat potato fries and stir fry with tofu. After a while it just become second nature for me. Now if I eat something with too much meat my body hates me literally.Plus I found brown rice, tofu and beans to be very filling you almost forget about meat completely. the nice thing I have to admit that I have noticed about eating less meat is that I have more energy and lost some weight as well.
What a great idea! this has been a problem of mine. I want to be a vegetarian to improve my health but i like meat too much to drop it altogether. I will definitely try this. Going to go buy veggies by the bulk soon and then restrict the meat in my diet =)
i have been on this diet for the last 5 years without even knowing it is called `Flexitarian`diet!i was diagnosed with polysistic kidneys,since then i have switched to a low protein diet.i only eat one piece of fish a day and no meat at all.
I am on a protein shake diet now. I am not sure if this works but I have known some people who had this as their diet solution. I just think I am going to give it a go, to see if this can be working for me.
I gave up red meat and pork two-three years ago. Never was crazy about it. The last red meat burger I ate felt like it "stuck" for days! I mostly eat veggies....sometimes chicken, turkey, fish, seafood. I'll go days and only eat veggies...I don't plan it...it just happens...so I was happy to know there is a term for the way I eat!
I guess I have been a flexitarin all my life before it was popular. I was the only member of my family who preferred veggies to meat. I ate very little meat and prefer veggies. i eat them steamed without any gravies. sometimes a little olive oil or perhaps tomato sauce. I always preferred green veggies, the darker the best. I eat eggs, and for protein, I eat soy. but most of my meals contain many more veggies. I am 85 years old, still active, lift weights and many other activities. take care of myself and do not take any or need any medications. therefore, I highly recommend the flexitarian diet to all.
I went flexatarian (I don't eat meat but do eat fish) almost 5 years ago. I had my first blood work done last year since becoming a flexatarian. My cholesterol was lower and I had a perfect proportion of hdl to ldl. My iron was better than before and all other results were great. I feel good and find it easy to manage my weight. I wouldn't go back. I recommend the Whole Foods Cookbook, the Healthy Hedonist and all Moosewood cookbooks.
A few years ago I found I was almost in the same situation as Elsie though my thyroid was hyper rather than hypo. At that time they also found that I was anaemic as I did not wish to increase my problems with my thyroid I decided to have some white meat and fish but also had some red meat. I recently read that they are introducing new ways to 'grow' vegetables and fruits' and I am not so sure now that food from the land is really that.
What inspired me to give up meat was concern for the land and our planet. But all the reasons appeal to me from better health to issues of cruelty. Nevertheless, my biggest impediment to adopting a vegetarian diet was this conditioning we have that there has to be a "main" course on the plate, an entree if you will, and it must contain meat. Who made that rule?! A meal doesn't have to have a main course- it just has to have variety! Now I plan meals to be colorful with several different types of vegetables or beans and fruit along with a starch like corn, rice, pasta, couscous or potatoes. The whole thing is really a combination of "side"dishes. But it always looks pretty and good on the plate.
I do sometimes eat soy foods and have not found it to be a problem even though I did come up hypothyroid last year. I don't think my being vegetarian, had anything to with that. It runs in my meat eating family.
My diet has been flesh free for 17 years and I love my food! I'm never going back.
Cutting down meat consumption is taking a priority in trying to improve physical health. Thus, Meatless Monday, a project of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, has a website rich with recipes from Breakfast (like these Buckwheat Apple Flapjacks: http://www.meatlessmonday.com/buckwheat-apple-flapjacks/) to Dessert (Try this delicious Banana Nut Bread: http://www.meatlessmonday.com/banana-nut-bread/). Meatless Monday's efforts to encourage commitment to a weekly reduction in meat is gaining traction; for more info on the movement check out the Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpnKeYmR1NM
Registered Dietitian Dawn Jackson Blatner brought the most attention to flexitarian eating and has created one of the most healthful eating plans in her book The Flexitarian Diet. I highly highly recommend it!
About 5 years ago I guess I became a flexitarian. I had been a strict vegetarian for over 10 years but change because I noticed that my energy level had decreased. It turned out that I was hypothryoid. Since being diagnosed, I have stopped eating soy products and cruciferous vegetables. I am not sure if soy is truly bad for the thyroid but I would rather not take chances. I stopped eating cruciferous vegetables (kale, broccoli, etc.) because they are know to increase the size of your goiter.
The good thing is that I am eating more vegetables and legumes along with seafood and some chicken. I think this makes for a healthy, balanced diet. Plus, I've lost weight which is always the best part of any diet!

Water Fight
Recorded: Friday, March 7, 2014
Senior Fellow Randy T. Simmons, co-editor of Aquanomics, looks at the battles over water in the western United States. Thirsty citizens of growing cities, farmers, factories and environmentalists are in a fight for a natural resource that is priced arbitrarily. Its value is determined not by the free market, but by bureaucrats. Outdated government reclamation projects and water policies have put residents of the Golden State at the mercy of the weather, and of government's mandatory regulations.

|Archanis IV
|Archanis system
Archanis sector
|Klingon Empire
United Federation of Planets
Archanis IV was an inhabited planet. It was the fourth planet of the Archanis planetary system. This system was located in the Archanis sector. This system was located close to the Federation-Klingon border. (TOS: "Day of the Dove"; DS9: "Broken Link")
In 2267, in the brief First Federation-Klingon War, a Federation research outpost was attacked by the Klingons. They massacred a hundred people.
A year later, while under the influence of the Beta XII-A entity, Pavel Chekov believed he had a brother, Piotr Chekov, who had been killed by the Klingons on Archanis. (TOS: "Day of the Dove")
Four years later, the Klingons relinquished their claim on this planet to the Federation. The Federation would eventually establish a colony on this planet. (DS9: "Broken Link")
Prior to the beginning of the Federation-Klingon War, Gowron sent a message to the Federation Council, telling them to remove all Starfleet forces from the planet and the system. The planet was soon taken over by the Klingons, although Starfleet would be regrouping for a counter-attack on the Archanis sector some months later. (DS9: "Broken Link", "Apocalypse Rising", "Nor the Battle to the Strong")
According to Startrek.com, Archanis Four was located in the Alpha Quadrant (the Archanis sector was adjacent to the Bajor sector). [1]
The fate of Archanis IV after the brief Federation-Klingon war ended in mid-2373 had not been mentioned on screen.
According to the Star Trek: Star Charts (pg. 62), in 2378, Archanis IV was a Federation member.
