(This story appeared in today's edition of USA TODAY.)
TORONTO – They say everything happens for a reason, and it would seem Joseph Benavidez and Demetrious Johnson subscribe to that theory.
It may have taken them a night or two to get fully on board, but the flyweights, who co-headline Saturday's UFC 152 pay-per-view event, are there now – even though they once had top billing on the card.
Benavidez (16-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC) and Johnson (15-2-1 MMA, 3-1-1 UFC) were hit with shrapnel after UFC 151, originally slated for Sept. 1, was canceled last month. When light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones got shifted to Saturday's card in Toronto for a title fight against Vitor Belfort, Benavidez vs. Johnson, the first 125-pound title fight in UFC history, had to take a step back to the co-main event.
But that's OK, the two now figure, because the addition of Jones and Belfort is likely to mean a significant bump in PPV buys — which means more fans will get a chance to see the little guys do their thing at Toronto's Air Canada Centre.
"It's great having these bigger-name guys on the card – Jones, Belfort, even (Michael) Bisping and (Brian) Stann," Benavidez said Wednesday following a workout. "It's going to be awesome. I know 100 percent we're going to deliver, so it's just great knowing we'll have that many more eyes watching us do what we do."
Johnson, of course, is of the same mind. And even though he and Benavidez were close enough to headlining UFC 152 that the posters had already been printed, he'll take the temporary setback if it means the flyweight division, which the UFC adopted just this year, gains some new fans in a sport dominated by the heavier weight classes.
"I think the eyes were going to be on us (before), but now we'll have more eyes with the addition of Jon Jones and Vitor Belfort," Johnson said. "Jon Jones is a phenom in this sport, and he's got a lot of followers, and Vitor Belfort's got Brazil on his back.
"… Me and Joseph are only 26 years old. We don't have a lot of eyes. But with those guys' help, we'll have more."
Benavidez enters the fight after a six-month layoff. It was forced on him when Johnson fought Ian McCall to a controversial draw in March, which necessitated their June rematch. But Benavidez said the layoff shouldn't affect him.
"I've obviously waited a long time for this, but the layoff was nothing," he said. "That just made me hungry and made me better. I've been working and waiting my whole life for this. It's been years and years in the making. This is what I work for, and I just can't wait to go out and do it."

James T. Kirk (alternate reality)
this wiki
(split 2233)
"Four years? I'll do it in three."
- - James T. Kirk to Christopher Pike, 2255
James Tiberius Kirk was a 23rd century Human Federation Starfleet officer. As a Starfleet cadet, he was instrumental in the defeat and death of Nero, a Romulan bent on the obliteration of the United Federation of Planets. As a result, he was commissioned directly to the rank of captain and appointed as commanding officer of the service's flagship, the USS Enterprise. (Star Trek)
Early life
James T. Kirk was the son of Starfleet officer George Kirk, first officer of the USS Kelvin and his wife Winona Kirk. He was born aboard the Kelvin's medical shuttle no. 37, in the midst of an unprovoked attack on the Kelvin by the Narada, a 24th century Romulan mining vessel commanded by Nero. Winona had been evacuated from the severely-crippled Kelvin along with the rest of the crew and gave birth to James while George Kirk died piloting the Kelvin into the Narada in a kamikaze attack. He was named James Tiberius after Winona's father and George's father, respectively.
Kirk was raised in Iowa, in Midwestern North America, on Earth. His mother remarried. As a young boy, Kirk had a somewhat rebellious streak in him as he once, for example, stole his stepfather's '65 Chevy Corvette convertible, drove it recklessly, got into a high speed chase with local police, then nearly died when he barely managed to jump out, as he drove it into a quarry. As he grew up he had little sense of purpose and by 2255, he was an aimless rebel who had found himself on the wrong side of the law on more than one occasion.
While visiting a bar near the Riverside Shipyard, an inebriated Kirk met and began flirting with a Starfleet cadet named Nyota Uhura. Although annoyed by Kirk's advances, Uhura was surprised that Kirk knew what was involved in the study of xenolinguistics. Moments later, Kirk engaged in a bar fight with three male cadets who were irritated at his cocky attitude and the attention he was giving Uhura. He was ultimately overwhelmed by the cadets until Captain Christopher Pike broke up the fight. Pike, who wrote his dissertation on the USS Kelvin and was familiar with Kirk's story pushed the young man to challenge himself and reach the greater potential he was capable of achieving, calling him "the only genius level repeat offender in the Midwest".
Pike tried to persuade him to join Starfleet, firmly believing that he could do more with himself than get into bar fights and break all the laws in the state of Iowa. Kirk laughed at the idea of joining Starfleet, but Pike reassured him that with his "off-the-chart" aptitude he could make captain and have his own ship in only eight years. He reminded him that his father had saved eight-hundred lives, including Kirk's and his mother's, and dared young Kirk to do better.
Soon after their conversation, and to the surprise of Pike, Kirk decided to enlist with the intent of completing the Academy training in three years. He rode onto the shipyard, gave his bike to a construction worker, and boarded a shuttle for new recruits heading to Starfleet Academy. It was on his trip to the Academy where he first met and befriended Doctor Leonard McCoy.
Starfleet academy
Kirk and McCoy became close friends at the Academy, though Kirk frequently exasperated McCoy with his maverick nature. Kirk had an eye for attractive female cadets and he once ended up in the dormitory of an Orion female cadet named Gaila. He was caught and hid under the bed when her roommate, Cadet Uhura, arrived unexpectedly. On discovering him, she angrily threw him out.
It was at the Academy that Kirk also met Commander Spock. Kirk had failed the Kobayashi Maru examination twice but decided to take it a third time, being sure that he would succeed. He eventually managed to cheat the test and won. Spock, who programmed the "no-win scenario," investigated the matter.
While discussing his cheating ways with his superiors, Kirk argued that the test itself was a cheat, and stated that he didn't believe in the no-win scenario. Kirk asked to face his accuser, and Spock stepped up. This was the first time the two met and clashed over their differences.
Kirk and Spock continued to engage in a heated argument (the accused becoming particularly agitated when Spock suggested that, "of all people", George Kirk's son should recognize the no-win scenario), when the hearing was suddenly interrupted after Starfleet had found out that Vulcan was under attack by Nero.
USS Enterprise
Many of the cadets were called into action after the news but Kirk - who had been suspended because of his recent academic dishonesty charges - was not allowed to join. McCoy, however, was able to get him aboard the Enterprise by injecting him with a vaccine that temporarily rendered him sick so he could be transfered to the ship on medical grounds.
Kirk tried telling Captain Pike and Spock about Nero's attack and his trap and with the help of McCoy and Uhura he was able to convince Pike about the trap. Pike raised the Enterprise's shields as they entered the Vulcan system, only to find a massive debris field of destroyed Federation starships having been attacked by Nero.
As Pike was en route to a shuttlecraft to negotiate with Nero, he appointed Kirk as acting first officer under Spock and volunteered Kirk to disable the Narada's drill platform.
First officer
Along with Chief Engineer Olson and Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu, Kirk skydived onto the platform. Facing off against two of Nero's crew, Kirk and Sulu eventually killed both of their adversaries before destroying the platform, but not in time to prevent Nero from successfully completing his plan to destroy the planet Vulcan.
After returning to the Enterprise, Kirk attempted to dissuade Commander Spock from a rendezvous with the rest of Starfleet at the Laurentian system. He urged him to go after the Narada as the ship left for Earth rather than waste time trying to gather additional forces in the opposite direction, but Spock was relentless. When Kirk became more and more heated in his objections, Spock finally ordered Kirk's removal from the bridge, knocked him out and threw him off the ship in an escape pod.
Marooned on Delta Vega
Kirk landed on Delta Vega, some kilometers away from a Starfleet outpost. Despite an inhospitable environment, he left his shuttle and soon was chased into a cave by a predatory creature. Just as he was about to be eaten, the creature was was scared off by an elderly Vulcan man, who revealed himself to be Spock from a future time, which Kirk dismissed as "bullshit" – but changed his mind when the old man mentioned Nero. Spock revealed to Kirk through a mind meld Nero's intentions, also telling him that in his timeline, Kirk was the captain of the Enterprise. Understanding that their only hope was to have the Enterprise pursue the Narada instead of returning to the fleet, they realized that they had to get the other Spock to step down from command. Fortunately, while the Enterprise had long since left the system, Spock was aware that one of the officers at the nearby outpost was Montgomery Scott, who in his universe had devised a way to transport onto a ship at warp speeds. Giving Scotty his own equations a century ahead of schedule, before beaming the pair onto the Enterprise, Spock advised Kirk to elicit an emotional reaction from the young Spock so that everyone could see that he was emotionally compromised and not fit for command, stating that the only way to defeat Nero was for Kirk to take command of the ship himself.
Acting captain
Following the advice of Ambassador Spock, Kirk goaded Spock with assertions that Spock cared nothing for what had happened to Vulcan or the death of his mother, whom he accused Spock of never having loved. The last remark did the job and Spock violently attacked Kirk before Spock's father stepped in and stopped him. Spock immediately relinquished command. Kirk, as acting first officer, took command and ordered pursuit course of the Narada to Earth.
Spock, deferring to Kirk as captain and both successfully beamed onto the Narada. After an intense firefight in which they killed several Romulans, they made it to the elder Spock's ship; upon being identified as its pilot, Spock quickly realized exactly who Kirk's unknown benefactor had been. Leaving Spock to secure the ship, Kirk went to retrieve Captain Pike. In searching for the captain he encountered Nero and his first officer Ayel; the pair easily overpowered him, but when Nero, after boasting that he would kill Kirk just like his father, discovered that Spock had destroyed the drill, he furiously returned to the bridge. Initially, Kirk was no match for Ayel either, but the overconfident Romulan was too busy mocking his "weak" victim to notice the theft of his disruptor, and offered the chance to speak, Kirk's "last words" were "I got your gun!". After retrieving Pike – who repaid his defenseless savior by grabbing the stolen disruptor and gunning down two Romulans walking in on the escape – and against Spock's advice once again, Kirk decided to give Nero and his remaining crew a chance to beam to the Enterprise and surrender. After Nero strongly declined, Kirk easily decided to have all weapons fired and the Narada destroyed.
Captain of the USS Enterprise
Upon his return to Earth, Kirk was commended and officially appointed as Captain of the Enterprise by Admiral Richard Barnett for his actions, which demonstrated his ability as an extremely able commanding officer fully capable of leading a Federation starship crew in the most dire of situations.
Dressed in his new captain's uniform, Kirk took command of the Enterprise. Commander Spock arrived and requested the permanent post as Kirk's first officer, which Kirk was honored to accept.
Kirk initially had a largely antagonistic relationship with Spock, mainly due to their vastly different philosophies and approaches to command. The frictions began first at Starfleet Academy when Kirk cheated on the Kobayashi Maru test Spock had designed, and then later continued when the disparate pair worked side by side on the USS Enterprise and Kirk was put in charge as second in command by Captain Pike. Tensions between the two culminated in Spock throwing Kirk off the ship altogether. However, their attitudes towards each other softened after an encounter with an older version of Spock from an alternate future, who revealed that in fact the two had shared a great friendship in his timeline. After Kirk goaded Spock into revealing his emotional instability, Spock defered to Kirk's command and the two worked as a team to stop Nero and rescue Pike. After learning how important their friendship was from Spock Prime, Spock offered to be Kirk's first officer which he happily accepted.
Leonard McCoy
Kirk and McCoy met on a transport shuttle to Starfleet Academy. The pair found themselves in adjacent seats where a slightly neurotic McCoy instantly opened up to the rebellious and somewhat incredulous Kirk. The two remained good friends throughout their time together at the Academy. When the time came, McCoy always had Kirk's back, such as helping him get aboard the Enterprise after his suspension and berating Spock for throwing Kirk off the ship and marooning him on Delta Vega.
Nyota Uhura
Kirk first met Nyota Uhura at a bar in Iowa in 2255, audaciously flirting with her while intoxicated, angering some other Starfleet cadet patrons of the bar, resulting in a fight. He met her again when the two studied at Starfleet Academy, although she preferred to keep a distance from him - not even ever telling him her first name - as she saw him as brash and uncouth. The pair ended up serving together aboard the Enterprise, but she continued to maintain her distance from him. It was Kirk and his need for a xenolinguist that got her stationed on the bridge. When Kirk was granted permanent command of the Enterprise, he chose Uhura as one of his senior officers.

James T. Kirk (alternate reality) appears in:
Background information
James T. Kirk was portrayed by Chris Pine. Younger versions were portrayed by Jimmy Bennett and an infant performer. For the scene in which Kirk is running into a cave on Delta Vega, child actor Joshua Greene served as body double for Pine. The producers did this to let the entrance of the cave look bigger.
Originally, Winona would not have remarried, but left her boys to be cared for by her brother (or brother-in-law) Frank (Brad William Henke), who was abusive to them whenever she was off-world. This forced George Samuel Kirk to run away from home, and Jim, who was a good pupil who always obeyed orders, to steal George's antique car that Frank treated as if it was his own.
The novelization of 2009's Star Trek by Alan Dean Foster states that Winona Kirk was given an inhibitor that would help slow the birth of James until the Kelvin's return to Earth. However, the impacts to the ship by the Narada's attack cause her to go into early labor. Screenwriter Roberto Orci joked in a message board post that the radiation from Kirk's premature birth in space caused his eyes to go blue. [1] The prime Kirk has hazel eyes. The novelization also merges the conflicting abusive-adult characters, making "Frank" the boys' step-father, and revealing that he wanted the car washed because he planned to sell it behind Winona's back, which is what truly drives Jim to steal it.
One influence on which Orci and Kurtzman based Kirk and Spock's relationship was the friendship between Paul McCartney and John Lennon, two very different musicians who bonded early in life, partly because they both suffered through the loss of a parent (in Kirk's case, his father, and in Spock's, his mother). [2]
Ironically, this incarnation of Kirk is indeed "...from outer space," as Dr. Gillian Taylor asked jokingly in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.

Goldy high Liver enzymes
Hi everyone!
I am from Australia but Goldies across the world are all pretty similar & I found you while trying to find a solution to my dog's health problem.
Chewbacca is an entire male who will be 10 yrs in December. About a month ago he started to go off his food & I put it down to change of seasons as we were starting to get some hot days & he still had a full winter coat. He went off his food altogether just over 2 weeks ago & was very lethargic with horribly pale gums. A trip to the vet involved tests which showed his liver enzyme to be very high & he had a slight temperature, the vet diagnosed him with Hepatitis which is spread between dogs (a lot of unvaccinated dogs in my town) He did 2 weeks antibitotics & SAMe , on top of the Hepatitis he developed a hot spot on his chest & a cyst at the base of his tail. The hot spot I treated with cream & an anti inflam shot which would not cross the liver, the cyst we opened up & cleared out twice in the past 2 weeks.The itch & cyst we are putting down to being triggered by the stress of being ill, he does not cope with new situations & is very attached to me so having to leave me even in the vets causes a problem.
A week into the treatment he started to eat small amounts again & then stopped a few days later, vet told me last week to give him anything I could find that he would eat because he can't afford to keep losing weight like this. I always kept him on a strict diet of mostly dry food due to fresh red meat causing hot spots & also to ensure he kept a safe weight plus a picky eater. A week ago I gave in & started to give him on canned dog food which he ate altho still only small meals twice daily. He refused food again 2 days ago & nothing would get him to eat. I did resort to putting his tablets in half of a cooked sausage as he was too difficult to give them any other way. He ate the small pieces of beef sausage which was good but nowhere near enuf to sustain him.He is drinking & peeing fine so no problems there.
Bottom line is we can't find any foreign object inside that he may have eaten, tried antibiotics & SAMe for 2 weeks, 1 anti inflam injection & tablets for 2 days since to treat the cyst & hot spot. The hot spot & cyst are all healing well so I am going to leave them aside for now as I don't see them as the cause for his illness.
2 weeks into treatment today & back for blood tests again to check the Liver & altho there was a slight decline in the Liver enzymes it was still dangerously high. I discussed it with the vet & decided to give it another week to try to get him to eat again. I went to the shops & bought some Goodo biscuits which are not something I like to use ever & my vet cringed when I said I knew how to get him to eat but it is not a long term diet I wish to use. I have no other options left with food, he hasn't eaten properly for a month now & he is a big boned boy who was lean to start with & this has caused him to lose weight. This evening I offered him a handful of Goodo's & he wolfed them down so another handful followed & again he happily ate them. He refused the usual dry food in between those handfuls & I decided not to give him any more until breakfast time in case they didn't stay down, the last thing he needs right now is to throw food back up.
If anyone has had problems with Liver Enzymes similar to this in a Goldy I would really appreciate hearing from you as I feel I am running out of options & altho he is almost 10 I think he has another 4 or 5 good years left. Other than this illness he was a healthy active dog with no arthritis or other health issues.
Hi, Welcome!
You might want to try "Denamarin", it is a supplement to strengthen the liver. It is made of a combination of SAMe and milk thistle.
One of our members has a dog, that was put on Hepatic Support by his vet in combination with Denamarin. That might be worth checking into, if you can get it in Australia.

Good luck!

My Bonnie takes milk thistle to protect her liver as she is on Rimadyl. Have you tried feeding Satin Balls? I have a 12 year old boy who was loosing weight, I made him some of those, and it really helped him get weight back on. Nothing I would want to feed all the time, but short term it could help.

Forever in my heart!
Aussieladee, I just went through liver issues with my just-turned-ten golden. He didn't want food for a couple of days and then began vomiting. Trip to the vet for blood work and a shot of Cerenia to stop the vomiting. Blood work came back with liver enzymes off the chart high (for instance, alk phos high normal is about 130, Finn's alk phos was 1196). I went straight for an abdominal ultrasound (very pricey). The ultrasound vet did a guided needle biopsy into his liver, where they discovered a very high white cell count. Put him on both Baytril and amoxicillin at the same time, gave him HepatoSupport tablets and Ursodiol (for his gall bladder, because the wall was thickened badly so they wanted to address that as well). After two weeks on meds, he seemed to be himself and follow-up blood work showed all liver values down in the normal range except the alk phos, which was in the 190's. You might try the ultrasound if you can afford it; the results can tell your vet a lot. Fingers crossed that you get to the bottom of the issue and your pup feels much better very soon.
Golden retrievers think life is a party thrown especially for them
Thank you all for your information, Chewbacca had 2 weeks on AB & SAMe which seemed to help him somewhat but the blood tests say otherwise with liver enzymes only slightly lower. They offered to do XRays & an Ultrasound altho they could not find any obvious blockage or foreign object when feeling his internals, unfortunately being on a very limited income & the bill already around 1k I declined the offer & I honestly don't think he has swallowed something he shouldn't have. I did get some Science Diet food that is more suitable for liver illnesses & he is now asking for his dinner when it is time, he manages to gobble 2 cups of it altho for his size it should be 3 I am not going to argue with him. We will be going to back to the Vet on Monday since his gums are very white which concerns me greatly even tho he is acting like his old puppy self again instead of the 10 yrs that he is. I will ask if we can start back on SAMe again to help protect his liver & get a prescription dog food that is going to help. Some of the options I could go for I can only get by prescription which is a nuisance & my vet may not have the food in stock. But at least if I get a script I can ring around to find someone that does.I had never heard of satin balls before & the ingredients include beef so I won't be able to give it to him as he is highly allergic to fresh beef.I may be able to replace the beef with minced chicken so will look into that.
Hepato Support tabs are inexpensive. We're paying $30 for 180 capsules, 2x daily, 2 capsules per dose, usually hidden in his breakfast or dinner. It's my understanding that liver function is one thing - like joints - that can go south as they get into their senior years. Sometimes supplements can help the liver well.
Andy's been on Denamarin for months as well. Even with the chemo and daily Prednisone, his liver values have been in the normal range. When they started going up last visit is when Andy's doc also put him on Hepato Support tabs. You can buy both online. We pay about $110 including shipping for a month's supply of Denamarin. 2 tabs a day, at least 1 hour after or before a meal. We do it in a glob of peanut butter he licks off the end of my index finger.
Also, when Andy got really sick during early chemo someone suggested buying canned green tripe. They described it as 'crack for dogs', and it worked to get him to eat when nothing else would. Good for them too.
I wish you success in getting to the bottom of the problem. Once your docs do, you'll probably be able to control whatever is going on with meds and supplements. All the best

aussieladee (11-24-2012)
I took Chewbacca to the vet again today as his gums were white & his poop was dark so I had concerns about internal bleeding, I checked his poop again after the vet visit & found they were normal colour again which is great.
The vet did a PCV blood test in which his blood count came back low yet still in the acceptable range & she couldn't find anything else wrong other than his liver disease, she ordered in a prescription diet which will aid his liver in recovery & he will start on that in a few days. She said it would not make a difference by starting again on the SAMe because the last liver test showed a slight improvement & if we continue the care & diet he has now then he should recover well enough over the next few months. Given that he is an older dog he won't fully recover & it is hard to tell how long he will live so it is a wait & see thing.
He is eating well on the correct diet & no weight loss this week, he is also acting like a puppy early in the day wanting to play fetch. So life is looking good again for him & hopefully he has a good life for a few years yet.
What did they say about the white gums? That's usually a sign of anemia (low red blood cells).
Hope you get to the bottom of all this

Andy yes his red blood cell count is down but still safe enough that we don't have to take emergency steps to correct it, his vet does not want to add anything to his system till his liver enzymes are lower & in a more acceptable range. Right now the liver is in danger of failing so he is being very spoiled & treated like a king who now rules the house instead of the backyard.
The new food we ordered has been developed specifically for liver disease & it should help him with some of the problems we now face & the best thing for him is rest & no stress. Now he is eating again it is important to keep him on the safe diet that he is enjoying because he is a picky eater we can't go changing anything(unusual for Goldies, my previous one was a real hog with food lol)
This illness has triggered hot spots as well as a cyst on his tail so the poor baby has been through a fair bit in the past month so we live from week to week atm with him & treat anything new as we see it.
He will have a full blood test in 2 weeks unless he goes backwards with his health, hopefully by then he will be out of danger & we can form a management plan so his health improves & stays that way.
Will keep you all updated if any changes occur & I really appreciate the input from all of you, that has helped me get through this with some hope.
Has anyone ever come across a Goldy with an small liver & if so how did the owner manage their dog's health & diet?
We are back again to where we were November last year with liver problems but at this stage does not need medication. Chewy seemed to recover well from his illness so we did not realise his problem was still there till recently when he started to lose condition so we did more tests on him.
The bloodwork which showed his liver enzymes still high & red cell count low, we decided to do an ultrasound & XRay which proved he does not have a tumour but his liver is strangely undersized. The vet could not find a reason for the size of it not has she ever seen it before without a disease associated with it, so we suspect he was born like that which might explain why he never gained weight easily. (He is the thinnest Goldy our vets have seen even when healthy) Everything else is where it should be & nothing remarkable showed in the XRay or Ultrasound so we are left puzzled over it.
The vet said to find something he will eat(fussy eater) but I need to keep his protein intake low because the liver won't cope with high levels but he needs to keep weight on. Fresh beef is out of his diet due to allergies so looking for something to keep weight on him which is healthy that is available here.
Any ideas are welcomed so I can keep him comfortable for the next few years as he ages, the vet thinks he has another 2 or 3 good years left so we want to give him a comfortable retirement now we know what is wrong.
I love my big yellow Chewbacca

If you've been feeling a little too girl-next-door, slip on this costume for your next Halloween party and you'll be dancing on table tops in no time. Just be careful not to break the law. Complete the look with a Katy Perry Last Friday Night Adult Wig and Braces and a Set of Four Bangle Bracelets, sold separately on this site.

Skinny Chip Was Born During My First Lambing Season
I've just posted another chapter from my early years of country living on the Writings From Windridge Farm site. It's called "Midnight Mothers & Minding The Moonsigns: A Busy Spring At Windridge." It's hard to believe it's been six months since I shared the last Windridge story with you. It's even harder to believe that it's been 10 years since I wrote this one. So much has changed--I'm living a whole different life on a whole different farm. But one thing has most definitely stayed exactly the same--springtime is as crazy as ever.
I've put up the entire story at once, so those of you who have been wishing for a longer read will be able to curl up with a cold glass of milk and a slice of cake or a cup of coffee and a little plate of cookies (or perhaps a pot of tea and a couple of cranberry scones?) and settle in for a lengthier visit to the first farm I lived on (back when I really had no idea what I was doing).
Click here to go directly to the new story. Click here to begin at the beginning. And click here if you have no idea what this Windridge stuff is all about but wish you did. Enjoy.
And for the many of you who so kindly keep asking if I have ever thought of putting all this stuff into some sort of book, the answer is a resounding yes! Getting from here to there is, of course, a whole other story, but it is definitely something I really hope to do someday. Maybe once spring is over. . .

A local family is keeping a close eye on their backyard after spotting a bobcat lounging in the family tree house a few days ago.
Jeanne Waneka lives in the Vista Grande neighborhood near Austin Bluffs Parkway and Academy Boulevard. She told 11 News her family sees wildlife fairly regularly, but this is the first time they've seen a bobcat near their home.
Waneka grabbed her video camera.
"I think he was napping...actually he was resting," she said, describing the wildcat that can be seen snoozing in her video. "Then there were two squirrels that were going up the tree not realizing there was a sleeping bobcat. That was pretty awesome."
A spokesperson from Colorado Parks and Wildlife said Friday it's rare for a bobcat to ever attack humans, but they could get aggressive if they feel cornered. People are encouraged to always give the animals lots of room.

Gabite appears to be Ursula's main Pokémon that she uses in Contests. It was first shown in Ursula's debut appearance acting a lot like Ursula. Its battling skills got it to the final stage of the Chocovine Contest however its attacks oculdn't cut it agasin't Dawn's Pachirisu and she ended up losing. It was next seen giving an unusual double performance with Ursula's Jigglypuff winning the first stage. It was then used to battle Dawn in the Grand Festival alongside Ursula's newly evolved Flareon even though it controlled the entire battle and nearly wiped all of Dawn's points it along with Flareon got knocked out by their Ice Chandelier combination.

Gabriel says his mom, Linda, is crazy, intrusive, "religious to the extreme" and causes so much drama that he and his wife, Suzanne, avoid her at all costs in fear of what she'll do next. Linda says she's not meddling, she's just trying to create a happy family — but will she realize she's pushing her loved ones away? Dr. Phil shows this family and others how to tear down the barriers and begin to live with no fear in the New Year.
More than 16 million kids in the United States are at risk for hunger each day. Fortunately, you can help. Visit Feeding America to find your local food bank. And, help Dr. Phil raise enough money for 10 million meals. Donate today!
Meddling Mom?Gabriel says he's at his wits' end with his mom, Linda, whom he calls boisterous, meddling and "religious to the extreme." He says Linda is constantly creating drama and won't take no for an answer. "She screams. She pouts. I've seen her slap herself. It's really embarrassing," he explains.
"She forces her opinions on you," Gabriel's wife, Suzanne adds. "[She tells me] how I should live my life, how my children should be raised, bible quotes — everything you can imagine." She says Linda has caused a lot of friction between her and Gabriel.
"I'm not out to cause any problems," Linda responds. "I have my opinion, and they have theirs." She explains that her faith is very important to her, and she'd like her son and his family to have the same spiritual connection. "I feel that it's very important for Suzanne, Gabriel and the kids to go to church."
Gabriel says Linda micromanages his life and shows up at his home unexpectedly and bangs on the door — sometimes in the middle of the night — just to check up on him. He also says she falsely accuses him of stealing items from her house and using drugs.
"I'm trying very hard to bring Gabriel and Suzanne closer to me, but they're pushing me away," Linda responds.
Dr. Phil asks Gabriel what Linda can do to bring peace to their lives.
"Respect," he responds. "Respect our feelings. Respect our way of life." When asked what Linda can do behaviorally, Gabriel says that she can speak with a respectful tone of voice, stop bringing up the past and stop blaming him and his family for the things she doesn't have.
Dr. Phil asks Linda the same question, and she says Gabriel should stop telling lies.
"Why would I lie about my mom?" Gabriel interjects.
Linda responds to Gabriel's claim that she's had several restraining orders placed against her by a church. Plus, she explains the balcony climbing incident.
Why won't Gabriel and Suzanne let Linda watch their children? Plus, Dr. Phil gives Linda a reality check.

Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If there is, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
If there isn't a lock symbol then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Video: Corpse Flower To Bloom At US Botanic Garden In DC
WASHINGTON (WUSA9/AP) - We're still waiting for the giant rainforest plant known as a corpse flower, for its terrible smell, to bloom at the U.S. Botanic Garden next to the Capitol.
Garden officials say the titan arum flower could bloom any time this week. The garden extended its hours from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. to give visitors the chance to see the flower in full bloom - and to smell its scent of rotting flesh.
Scientists say the flower's strange odor serves to attract beetles for pollination.
This plant is about 10 years old, and this is its first flower. The bloom will only last 24 to 48 hours. The last corpse flower to bloom at the Botanic Garden was in 2007.
You can watch the live stream of the corpse flower here: http://www.usbg.gov/return-titan

While many eastern North Carolinians were hoping for a cheaper trip on the road this holiday, that does not appear to be the hand dealt at the pumps.
People statewide are seeing the first hike in gas prices since the weekend after Labor Day.
According to gasbuddy.com, the state average cost for a gallon of regular is about $3.31. That is a nine cent rise from this time last week.
This time last year, North Carolinians were 12 cents below the national average, while today they are paying a nickel more than the national average.
Before 5 a.m. Monday, WITN looked for the lowest prices around the east listed. Those results are listed below.
Greenville: Shell on Saint Johns Road, $3.25/gallon.
Kinston: Wilco Hess on W. Vernon Ave. and 258 N, $3.28/gallon.
Jacksonville: Wilco Hess on Western Blvd. near the college, $3.23/gallon.

|Next time you have leftover chicken, try this easy chopped salad with Asian flavors!
And just for fun, here's the original photo of this salad from 2006, taken with my very first point-and-shoot digital camera!
Leftover Chicken Asian Chopped Salad
(Makes 2 servings, recipe created by Kalyn when she had leftover chicken from making Greek Lemon Chicken.)
Dressing Ingredients:
3 T rice vinegar (be sure not to get seasoned vinegar, which contains sugar)
1 T soy sauce
1 T Splenda, Stevia In the Raw Granulated Sweetener, or sugar (use Splenda or Stevia for South Beach Diet)
1 tsp. grated ginger root (I used ground ginger from a jar)
1 T sesame oil
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Salad Ingredients:
2 cups chopped leftover chicken
3 cups chopped romaine or iceberg lettuce
6-8 small sweet peppers, sliced (different colors if possible)
1/2 cup sugar snap peas, cut on diagonal into fourths
1/2 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
2 T toasted sesame seed (preferably black sesame seed if you have it)
1/3 cup coarsely chopped cashews
Mix together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sweetener of your choice, and ginger root, and then whisk in the sesame oil and vegetable oil to make the dressing. Chop the chicken and place in Ziploc bag with about 3 T of the dressing mixture to marinate while you cut up the veggies.
Cut peppers into rings and slice sugar snap peas. Chop cilantro, if using. Tear apart the lettuce with your hands and wash and spin dry in salad spinner (or wash in the sink and dry with paper towels.) In large bowl, combine lettuce, peppers, snow peas, and cilantro and toss with dressing. (You may not need all the dressing.)
Divide the lettuce mixture among 2 plates or salad bowls. Arrange chicken over salad and sprinkle with sesame seeds and cashews.
South Beach Suggestions:
Be sure to use Splenda or Stevia if you're making this for the South Beach Diet. Everything in this salad is a perfect low-glycemic ingredient, so this is great for any phase of the South Beach Diet.

SAT Tutoring Options
Dear Parents,
I recognize that the decision to invest in SAT preparation is an important and often difficult one, given all the options. In light of this, my goal is to help you understand how StudyPoint's SAT tutoring is different.
If you're considering SAT classes or small group SAT prep, you should know that StudyPoint specializes in highly personalized, 1-to-1 tutoring in the convenience of your home. Though private SAT tutoring is a premium service, having a private tutor allows your child to receive undivided attention, leading to greater lesson engagement and accountability than what can be achieved in a classroom or group setting. With a StudyPoint SAT tutor your child's needs are the instructor's only focus.
If you've already decided to work with a private tutor, we want you to know that one-to-one tutoring is and always has been our only focus. Many companies offer SAT tutoring, but few actually specialize in it. From an educational perspective, 1-to-1 tutoring is a unique specialty with specific curriculum design needs. Too many companies simply take their small group or classroom SAT materials, change the covers, and hand them to 'tutors'. Developing a world class SAT tutoring operation requires focus and investment, and the quality of programming suffers when companies try to be all things to all people.
I welcome you to learn more about our SAT tutoring. We're very good at what we do, and would welcome the opportunity to work with your family.
CEO & Co-Founder
Personalized SAT Tutoring
StudyPoint recognizes that every student's abilities and needs are unique. For this reason, we've developed one of the most innovative and personalized private SAT tutoring programs in the test preparation industry. Our SAT tutoring program adapts to your child's abilities in three specific ways:
- Practice Test Assessment
Before meeting with a tutor, your child will take an initial diagnostic exam. The results of this exam, as well as your child's performance in the first few sessions, will be used by the tutor to determine the focus of the program and teach to your child's unique strengths and weaknesses. Over the course of the program, your child will take additional practice tests to track progress and ensure that he or she is achieving the desired results.
- Personalized Homework Plans
The work your child and his or her tutor conduct during their lessons is supplemented by a Personalized Online Homework Plan that continuously adapts to your child's abilities; as your child's skills improve, he or she is presented with increasingly difficult material to ensure that he or she is challenged throughout the program.
- The Right Tutor for Your Child
We recognize that the better your child connects with his or her SAT tutor, the more motivated he or she will be during our program. For this reason, we work directly with you (and your child) to understand your child's interests, personality, and learning style and incorporate these factors into the tutor selection process. We work hard to provide your child with a tutor with whom he or she will work well and from whom he or she can easily learn.
Regardless of the specific tutor with whom your child works, you'll have the security of knowing that all of our tutors meet the following minimum requirements. Each tutor has:
- Taught or tutored for at least two years before joining StudyPoint
- Completed his or her undergraduate degree with a minimum 3.0 GPA
- Passed a comprehensive background screening, reference check, and education verification
- Passed a teaching test. Our live teaching tests ensure that our tutors have a firm grasp of the material they're teaching and that they can communicate that material in a dynamic and engaging way
- Undergone an initial 10-12 hours of training on our curriculum as well as ongoing training and professional development
StudyPoint employs some of the strictest hiring criteria in the industry; only about 5% of our tutor applicants ever go on to become StudyPoint tutors.
Security of a Guarantee
Our Guarantee: We guarantee a score increase from your child's actual junior year PSAT scores (or if not taken, a proctored real SAT test).
We offer the following guarantees:

What's Tested On the SAT?
The SAT is a standardized test that measures a student's skills in three core areas: Critical Reading, Math, and Writing. Students in grades 11 and 12 take the SAT so that they can submit their scores to colleges as part of the college application process.
The SAT is composed of ten sections—a 25-minute essay, six 25-minute sections, two 20-minute sections, and one 10-minute section. Total testing time is 3 hours and 45 minutes. The breakdown of each section is as follows:
How is the SAT Scored?
Before taking the SAT, it's important to understand how SAT scoring works. Here's the breakdown:
Scoring for the Critical Reading, Math, and Writing Sections
- Students earn 1 point for each correct answer, lose ¼ point for each incorrect answer (except on the student-produced response math questions), and neither lose nor gain points for each omitted answer.
- A student's raw score for each of the main test sections (Critical Reading, Math, and Writing) is calculated by adding 1 point for each correct answer and subtracting ¼ point for each incorrect answer (again, except on the student-produced response math questions).
- A student's raw score for each of the three main test sections is converted to a scaled score, which ranges between a 200 and an 800, with 800 being the highest possible score. Because the essay factors into a student's Writing scaled score, the score conversion for the Writing section is a bit more complex. See the "Scoring for the Writing Test" section below for details.
- A student's total SAT score is the total of the student's scaled scores for the three main test sections. Example: If a student scored a 550 Critical Reading, a 500 Math, and a 600 Writing, his total SAT score would be 550 + 500 + 600 = 1650.
Scoring for the Writing Test
- Two readers read and score each student's Writing test essay. Essays are scored holistically (i.e., based on the overall impression the essay makes).
- Each reader gives the essay a score ranging between a 1 and a 6, with 6 being the highest possible score. The two scores are added together to get a student's total essay score, which can range between a 2 and a 12, with 12 being the highest possible score. If the two readers' scores differ by more than one point, a third reader will be called in to resolve the disagreement.
- Students receive three Writing scores: their multiple-choice subscore (ranges between a 20 and an 80), their essay subscore (ranges between a 2 and a 12), and their overall Writing scaled score (ranges between a 200 and an 800). The overall Writing score is calculated by scaling the multiple-choice subscore and the essay subscore. The multiple-choice subscore accounts for about 2/3 of the overall Writing scaled score while the essay subscore accounts for the remaining 1/3.
How Does the SAT Compare To the ACT?
The main difference between the SAT & ACT is how each exam tests a student's knowledge. The ACT is a straightforward test of a student's content knowledge while the SAT places slightly more emphasis on logic and reasoning skills.
In March of 2016, the SAT is changing. To see how the new SAT will compare to the ACT, view this infographic.

Blythe Wood Works has designed our new Raised Foundation to accommodate every size of cat and doghouse in our product line. So from our smallest house 17 cathouse, to our largest house the 24 sqft Goliath, the Raised Foundation will support the house 7 inches off the ground and still have enough room for the pet to lie on, or put dog bowls on or even accompany an optional porch and deck.
The construction of these Raised Foundations are made of full sized frame members (1.5 thick x 2.5 width). The posts and frame members are lifetime pressure treated lumber for ground contact. The decking is rich western red cedar which really compliments our beautiful cedar houses.
Raising your pets house off the ground has some very profound benefits. Fleas and ticks will be less prolific in a house that is elevated off the ground.
Dogs that have an elevated platform for doghouse entry is healthy for their hind in larger dogs.
Please note: the small, large and small duplexes are shipped via FedEx ground and can be ordered with or without a doghouse. The extra large, giant, goldzilla, goliath, and large duplex are so large they have to be delivered common carrier. Therefore they must be ordered with a doghouse. If you wish to order them without a house, there will be an additional cost for freight.

| User:Jacce
Hi. I'm a Tumblr user(`vanillasky01`) and a Naruto fan; I don't have a wikia account so I cannot sign my posts. I wanted to say that you guys who edited Sakura's page are wrong, her seal in chapter 632 is called the "Byakugō" Seal, not the "Yin" Seal. I know "Byakugō Seal" sounds exactly like Tsunade's technique "Byakugō", but they are not the same. One is a seal, the other one is a technique. They are different despite the name. And they also have different Kanjis. They also translate differently in English.
Check this Tumblr post made by "Chatte", a Narutobase user and a big Sakura fan:
Please, edit the Seal's name on Sakura's page and add it to her jutsus. Therefore you should create a new page for this Seal, because it's not Tsunade's "Byakugō", it's something new.
Also, I'd like to tell you that part of Sakura's Trivia is wrong: "Despite being the heroine of the series, Kishimoto stated himself during the 2010 interview that Hinata would make a better heroine than Sakura, this is due to the fact that because Sakura not only has a 'normal' background in comparison to Hinata but also because he has a hard time making good roles for female characters like Sakura, having stated on several occasions that he has a very hard time viewing her as the heroine of the series. However, Kishimoto also stated that he would try to have Sakura play more of a heroine role in the future."
-->Kishimoto has NEVER said Hinata would make a better heroine than his main female character, Sakura. I find that irritating because it is untrue. Check this out:
THANK YOU FOR READING! Please tell those who edit her page, because I don't understand this site and idk where to say all of this :D—This unsigned comment was made by 22.214.171.124 (talk • contribs) .

Welcome message
Hey, Jacce! Thanks for your message. So, I am mainly here because I saw a little confusion regarding Sakura's Bio, generally and I wanted to contribute to that. I have seen a lot of misinformation regarding Sakura's character throughout the manga and I would want to clear that as well. Also, some interpretations of the manga facts that I consider to be highly influential so to speak, in this bandwagon hate and all because the misinformation. So, I'd really like to help with that so if you guys could tell me how to work my way around here I'd be really grateful. I will read once again all the bio and expose my problems, so to speak, with the information found in her bio and have some subjects up for debate if possible. Also, I'd be of help with Tsunade's page since these two characters are the characters I have "studied" the most, to say it like this, from a literary point-view and not only.
Thank you in advance!

Youre welcome Dalia0002 (talk) 14:21, June 18, 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for welcoming me/
Thank you so much for welcoming me and for the information! I've been a passionate Naruto fan for 8 years and am an administrator on a Naruto fan page.
For years Narutopedia has been my favorite thing next to Naruto itself! ;) I appreciate it HUGELY, and this definitely is the best Naruto info site out there.
I was reading the Sasori page today and realized that there was a misinforming assumption about the circumstances of his death, so after extensively researching and also re-watching the connected episode in both English and Japanese and re-reading the manga chapter, I dared to create an account and make an edit. The English dub cannot be trusted when it comes to understanding Kishimoto's original meaning. The original Japanese and the manga are better as points of reference, so I referred to them to correct the mistake. (Also, I'm a student of the Japanese language so I care about the true meanings.) I hope to be able to contribute in the future if I ever come across anything else.
This is the Naruto Bible, so perfection is important! :)
--Mariah Dawn (talk) 08:55, June 19, 2013 (UTC)
I noticed that you are referring to Tsunade's lightening release as "presumed" although it was clearly described in the manga that she has a lightening release [[1]]. Also, it is described here in wiki [[2]] and your description of this ninjutsu is easily linked to your own description of the lightening release here in wiki [[3]].
You are taking out an obvious power of Tsunade just because it wasn't confirmed in the databook !?
All the new justsu for all characters aren't included nor described in the databooks yet you are not describing it as "presumed".
The manga should have the priority in describing the powers and jutsu for all characters and you should base the information here on the manga first not the databooks.
Also, don't forget that when Tsunade used the Ranshinsho, it was before Kakashi describes how element types work to Naruto. Therefore, it was acceptable in the beginning to not include it in her data, but not anymore.
Please fix Tsunade's data and remove the "presumed" remark.
If you think I'm wrong then please describe to me how is the Ranshinsho different from the Raikiri or Chidori which led you to the concept of Tsunade not having a lightening release?
Thank you. --Saint Juste (talk) 11:12, June 24, 2013 (UTC)

With the unexpected addition of Meowth added to their roster, Ash and co. are still travelling North to Nimbasa City. During the trip, they meet a male Purrloin which both Meowth and Oshawott fall for, believing he is female. Jessie and James hatch a new scheme at the trainyard. Meanwhile, Cilan meets a girl named Misha who had lost her Purrloin and heard rumors of a Purrloin causing trouble around here. They manage to find it, and the gang but the Purrloin was not happy seeing Misha again thinkng she abandoned him. But when some sand made Ash and the others sink in the mine. Can they get out?
A Pokémon is seen seeing the fruit Tranquil left in its nest. As it goes to get it, it is spotted by another Tranquil. The Pokémon leaves behind the angry Tranquils. The gang is walking down the road. The Pokeomon bumps into Meowth, who gets up angrily, but when he sees it, he becomes in love. The Pokémon is Purrloin - a Pokémon which Cilan cannot stand to be near. He remembers well the last time he was with a Purrloin - a very desperate fate for Cilan, that is. The angry Tranquils come and attack with Wing Attack. Ash sends Oshawott who uses Water Gun. Next, Pikachu electrocutes them with Thunderbolt.
Oshawott falls in love when he sees Purrloin. Cilan is terrified by the fact more trust the Purrloin. Even Iris trusts it and goes to capture it, using a Pokeball. Mewoth interferes, though the ball catches him, but fortunately enough for him, Meowth escapes the ball. Cilan and Ash think that Purrloin is not to be trusted, so they are both attacked by Oshawott's Water Gun. Ash drops his bag, so Purrloin sees the fruit he has been carrying. Meowth translates Purrloin has a friend trapped in the mines, so need to go there. James says he fells different without Mewoth, but Jessie tells him that Meowth's job is now theirs, and is sure Meowth is doing well.
Everyone believes Purrloin, except for Cilan, who decides to stay. The gang (except Cilan) goes up. Mewoth translates that Purrloin thinks that Ash's bag is heavy, but Ash says everything is fine, unfortunately for Purrloin. Cilan waits for others, and a woman with a broken arm comes, asking for a Purrloin. Cilan is shocked, and they run to the gang. Inside the mines, the path becomes less wider, so Ash gives Purrloin the bag, as he would be big for the small passage. They arrive to a pit, so Purrloin points that its friend is there. Ash, Iris, Mewoth, Oshawott and Pikachu go to the pit, but see nothing. However, what they do see is Purrloin going away with Ash's bag. Cilan and the woman come. The woman, named Misha, makes a flashback when she left Purrloin and states that she had to go, but had an accident and couldn't return home.
Purrloin does not trust her. Iris, Mewoth, Ash, Oshawott and Pikachu begin to be drowned in quicksand. Cilan throws a rope, so the woman and him begin to pull them up. Unfortunately, they fall down as well. Purrloin sees them and runs away. They have no choice left, so send Excadrill, Pansage and Snivy to pull the rope. Meowth and Oshawott are drowned. However, the help comes - Tranwuils come to bring them up. Meowth translates that Purrloin asked help from the Tranquils (from whom it got the fruit). At the end of the day, Meowth and Oshawott want to ask Purrloin to a date, but Misha tells them Purrloin is male, much to their shock. At the Nimbasa City, at night, Jessie and James witness something being carried down by an helicopter.
Pokémon Characters
- Purrloin: "Purr-loin"
- Misha:"You see, Purrloin's a guy."
- Meowth and Oshawott : "Aaaaaa!?"
As they were in a state of shock.
- Meowth:"A dude?"
- This episode marks the fourth time Meowth has fallen in love with a region's native cat Pokémon. The first three times were with a female Meowth named Meowsie, the second time was with a female Skitty that was under May's care, and the third time was with a female Glameow, which was short lived when it evolved into Purugly. However, the Purrloin in this episode was actually male pretending to be female in order to steal Ash's berries in his bag.
- Misha's Purrloin is confirmed male in the end of the episode making both Meowth and Ash's Oshawott to be in a state of shock.
- It is revealed in this episode that Cilan has a great fear of Purrloin, when he stated that one of them did something terrible to him to which he refuses to talk about as he does not want to remember it.
- Iris attempt to catch Purrlion failed because Meowth was in the way. This was the 2nd time Meowth was almost caught by Iris even though she wanted to catch Purrloin.
- This episode aired in America on the same day as the theatrical release in America of the 14th movie White - Victini and Zekrom.
- Professor Oak's Live Caster: Beartic
- Who's That Pokémon?: Purrloin (US)
