5 CFR 410.307 - Training for promotion or placement in other positions.
(a) General. In determining whether to provide training under this section, agencies should take into account:
(1) Agency authority to modify qualification requirements in certain situations as provided in the OPM Operating Manual for Qualification Standards for General Schedule Positions;
(2) Agency authority to establish training programs that provide intensive and directly job-related training to substitute for all or part of the experience (but not education, licensing, certification, or other specific credentials), required by OPM qualification standards. Such training programs may be established to provide employees with the opportunity to acquire the experience and knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to qualify for another position (including at a higher grade) at an accelerated rate; and
(3) Time-in-grade restrictions on advancement (see5 CFR 300.603(b)(6)).
(b) Training for promotion. Under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 4103, and consistent with merit system principles set forth in 5 U.S.C. 2301(b)(1) and (2), an agency may provide training to non-temporary employees that in certain instances may lead to promotion. An agency must follow its competitive procedures under part 335 of this chapter when selecting a non-temporary employee for training that permits noncompetitive promotion after successful completion of the training.
(1) Grade or pay retention. Under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 4103 and 5 U.S.C. 5364, an agency may train an employee to meet the qualification requirements of another position in the agency if the new position is at or below the retained grade or the grade of the position the employee held before pay retention.
(2) Training for placement in another agency. Under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 4103(b), and consistent with merit system principles set forth in 5 U.S.C. 2301, an agency may train an employee to meet the qualification requirements of a position in another agency if the head of the agency determines that such training would be in the interest of the Government.
(i) Before undertaking any training under this section, the head of the agency shall determine that there exists a reasonable expectation of placement in another agency.
(ii) When selecting an employee for training under this section, the head of the agency shall consider:
(A) The extent to which the employee's current skills, knowledge, and abilities may be utilized in the new position;
(B) The employee's capability to learn skills and acquire knowledge and abilities needed in the new position; and
(C) The benefits to the Government which would result from retaining the employee in the Federal service.
(3) Training displaced or surplus employees. Displaced or surplus employees as defined in 5 CFR 330.602 may be eligible for training or retraining for positions outside Government through programs provided under 29 U.S.C. 1651, or similar authorities. An agency may use its appropriated funds for training displaced or surplus employees for positions outside Government only when specifically authorized by legislation to do so.
(4) Career transition assistance plans. Under 5 CFR part 330, subpart F, agencies are required to establish career transition assistance plans (CTAP) to provide career transition services to displaced and surplus employees.
(i) Under the authority of5 U.S.C. 4109, an agency may:
(D) Pay for training related expenses as provided in5 U.S.C. 4109(a)(2).
(ii) Agency CTAP's will include plans for retraining displaced or surplus employees covered by this part.

The baby bald eagle that hatched close to an exit ramp off E-470 in Commerce City spread her wings and flew for the first time Monday morning.
According to scenes captured by E-470 security cameras as well as a loyal "Eagle Bridgade" volunteer who was watching from the shoulder of 120th Avenue, the eagle fledged to the east — away from the highway — and then faltered and landed in some tall grass nearby.
"We have her on the ground, and she's certainly safe," said Peter Reshetniak, director of the Brighton Raptor Education Foundation. "Now we have to wait for her to get back up into the tree."
VIDEO: Watch the eaglet take its first flight
Reshetniak said the eaglet won't get back into the nest because it's too much of a flight, but she many stay on the ground until her parents show up to feed her later Monday. He said he received a text message from the volunteer who was tasked to guard the nest around 8 a.m. saying that the baby eagle tipped herself out of the nest and onto the ground.
The volunteer "was watching her in the nest, and she just sort of leaned over and fell out," Reshetniak said. "She spread her wings and everything, but it wasn't a volitional, wings-open soar. It was much less graceful."
When he arrived on scene, Reshetniak got about 20 feet away from the eaglet to make sure she didn't hurt herself. He said she is healthy and stable and will remain in the grass until she flies again.
While the bird is on the ground, Reshetniak said it's important that people keep their distance from her. That may be difficult because the bird has garnered a following of guardians who have been watching her progress night and day for nearly three weeks.
The eaglet's perilous nest location originally drew interest from more than 50 bird enthusiasts who wanted to guard her from falling onto the highway.
Reshetniak originally guessed that she would fly sometime between July 3 and 6, but said without knowing when the eaglet hatched, it was difficult to know for sure.
"The landing was OK," said Dan Christopherson, spokesperson for the E-470 Public Highway Authority. "She flew away from the toll road, which is exactly what we hoped for."
E-470 put up temporary signage to alert people about the eagle's nest while the baby bird was in it. They also devoted extra surveillance and Colorado State Patrol personnel to the area since the beginning of the month. The video of the eaglet out of her nest is on the foundation's Facebook page.

A Field Guide to Evangelicals and Their Habitat
By Joel Kilpatrick
HarperCollins Publishers, Inc.Copyright © 2006 Joel Kilpatrick
All right reserved.
Chapter One
What Evangelicals Believe, Plus
a Master List of Who Is Going to Hell
Evangelicals believe in many things: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, church attendance, homeschooling, Fox News, abstinence, personal holiness, toupees, leisure suits, mission work, Dockers, golf, spanking, and dinner, early and often. But the natural starting point for identifying evangelicals by their beliefs is with their best-known doctrine: hell.
. . . In a Handbasket
Evangelicals believe certain people are going to hell -- you, for example, unless you already happen to be an evangelical. But behind the hellfire and brimstone talk are core beliefs that have deep meaning for evangelicals. Here are the three most important ones:
Core Belief #1 -- Every person has an obligation to accept Jesus as his or her personal savior.
The phrase "personal savior" is important, as it separates evangelicals from Catholic and Orthodox Christians who simply run their offspring through the gamut of religious rituals and call it square. To receive Christ "personally" means you have an epiphany about your personal sinfulness and Jesus's unique ability to rescue you from it. This is called "beingsaved." If you have not had this experience, you are considered "unsaved."
Core Belief #2 -- Jesus is coming back soon, probably tomorrow.
Core Belief #3 -- If you have neglected Core Belief #1, and Jesus does indeed come back tomorrow, you are going to hell.
You may read as much evangelical theology as you like, but the essence is contained in these three beliefs. Clearly, these convictions give the evangelical worldview an amazing urgency. Through their lenses, every non-evangelical around them is dancing blindly on a plank overhanging the lake of fire. Evangelicals respond to this urgency with several reasonable behaviors:
They buy television airtime so televangelists can parade the latest in evangelical fashions and hairstyles before receptive American audiences.
They hit the streets and hand out frightening cartoon pamphlets, hoping these will lead people into lifelong, loving relationships with Jesus.
They confront people at work, in school hallways, and in plain view at other public sites about their "relationship with Christ."
They perform spiritual dramas to music, often in public squares, at school talent shows, and in other places where ridicule is guaranteed.
Each of these behaviors is designed, in its own fashion, to rescue people from hell. Perhaps this "fixation" with hell bothers you (readers with high EHQs take note). But from a sociological point of view, believing in hell is thought to be less violence-inducing than believing in heaven. Members of some religions go on suicide runs, thinking they will earn a vaunted position in heaven, including dozens of "extra virgins." In contrast, evangelicals don't want anyone* to die until they have received Jesus. There is no reward in evangelical theology for killing other people, and there hasn't been since about 1270 a.d. (The reward for enslaving people also ran out, in about 1865, and in some southern states in 1972.) For readers with an EHQ above 10, this may be the first attractive thing they have ever learned about evangelicals.
Purgatory and the Pope
Purgatory is an entirely Catholic creation and is completely foreign to evangelicals, who prefer their beliefs in sharp black and white. Why, they wonder, would God create purgatory when heaven and hell do the job of separation so well? The concept of purgatory is what some evangelicals, in their darker moments, expect from the religion that gave the world Mary worship and the Kennedys.
As for the Pope, evangelicals don't recognize him, and there is no Pope-like leader within the evangelical world. The closest thing they have is Billy Graham, but he makes no doctrine. He is only an itinerant preacher who gained renown and became a close spiritual adviser to half a dozen lying, cheating U.S. presidents.
To most evangelicals, the Pope is nothing more than an object of curiosity -- and the punch line of some terrific jokes. Some see him as a decent man stuck in an apostate religion. Others -- those who chart out end-times events in their spare time and memorize the Book of Revelation -- see him as an abomination, even the anti-Christ. But because he shares many evangelical political positions (the death penalty excepted), there is a sense that he is within the family. Many evangelicals look at the Pope and think, "If he weren't the Pope, but instead a plumber from Cincinnati, I bet he would vote Republican straight down the ticket. And that's all right with me." For this reason, most evangelicals don't mind the Pope. After all, he makes Democratic presidential candidates squirm every four years by bringing up their abortion stance, and any religious leader who does that can't be all bad.
The Rapture
Here is another major evangelical belief. For evangelicals, the Rapture promises to be the world's biggest I Told You So, providing final vindication for the unusual way they lived on this planet. They expect to disappear one day in the blink of an eye, journeying through the air to their home in heaven, where they will peer over and watch Left Behind: The Reality Series play out on Earth. This promises to deliver hours of enjoyment for leisure-minded evangelicals in their heavenly mansions.
The only evangelicals who don't look forward to the Rapture are teenage boys, who desperately want to have sex before the Rapture occurs. Teen evangelical boys usually drift to sleep each night praying fervently that God will delay the Rapture until they can lose their virginity. The threat of Rapture also helps to explain the young age at which evangelicals get married and begin breeding.
But even evangelicals don't claim to have all the answers about the Rapture. For example, will people's clothes be left behind when they are caught away (which brings to mind the tricky theological matter of naked evangelicals suspended in midair)? And what will happen to airplanes and heavy machinery when "Raptured" operators disappear? Millions of unsaved people might be put . . .

Catalytic Converter Replacement P0420
Catalytic Converter Replacement P0420
Easy step by step repair guide on how to replace a catalytic converter (P0420 -P0421 below efficiency threshold) though appearances will vary, the process is similar for most vehicles.
Difficulty Scale: 5 of 10
Tools and Supplies Needed
Pry bar
Socket set
Wrench set
Replacement catalytic converter
Shop towels
Protective eye wear and gloves
Begin with the car safely supported in the air with jack stands enough to work on the exhaust system.
Step 1
- Exhaust systems tend to rust the mounting bolts of the system. To help dis-assembly spray the bolts on the manifold and other connections with penetrating lube to help loosen.
Applying WD40 to Rusted Exhaust System Bolts
Step 2
- While the anti-rust liquid is settling in, locate and disconnect the oxygen sensor electrical connectors that are mounted on the converter.
Disconnecting Oxygen Sensors
Step 3
- After the connectors have been released, follow the wiring and removing them from their holders.
Removing Oxygen Sensor Wiring
Step 4
- Most catalytic converter's have heat shields designed to keep heat away from the vehicle. To gain access to mounting bolts some shielding may need to be removed.
Heat Shield Mounting Bolts
Step 5
- After the anti rust liquid has sat for a while, remove the main catalytic converter mounting bolts.
Removing Catalytic Converter Mounting Bolts
Step 6
- Continue by removing the coupler mounting bolts at the rear of the catalytic converter.
Removing Catalytic Converter Coupler Mounting Bolts
Step 7
- Once loose, use a pry bar to further loosen the clamps to aid in removal.
Loosening Clamps with Pry Bar
Step 8
- Once the rear exhaust mount has been removed use a plastic or rubber hammer to separate the muffler from the catalytic converter.
Separating Muffler Using Hammer
Step 9
- After the muffler has been separated, the catalytic converter is ready for removal.
Removing Catalytic Converter
Step 10
- Most catalytic converters have multiple oxygen sensors which need to be labeled to avoid confusion when reassembling.
Installing Labels on Oxygen Sensors
Step 11
- Once successfully labeled remove all sensors from the old catalytic converter.
Removing Oxygen Sensors
Step 12
- After cleaning gasket surfaces install new sealing gaskets.
Installing New Gaskets
Step 13
- Install the labeled oxygen sensors onto the new catalytic converter.
Installing Oxygen Sensors
Step 14
- Once all oxygen sensors have been installed into the new catalytic converter, it is ready for installation.
Installing Catalytic Converter
Step 15
- After the catalytic converter is in place, install all mounting bolts and tighten.
Installing Mounting Bolts
Step 16
- Once the main mounting bolts have been tightened, install and tighten the coupler mounting bolts.
Tightening Coupler Mounting Bolts
Step 17
- Next, reconnect the remaining oxygen sensors.
Reconnecting Oxygen Sensors
Once the oxygen sensors have been connected reinstall all heat shields and exhaust system mounts to complete the job.
Helpful Information
Catalytic converters have been standard equipment since 1976 on most cars and light trucks and is responsible for the cleaner air we enjoy today. A catalytic converter can fail in one of three ways, first the catalytic material can simply wear out loosing its effectiveness, second the material can melt due to extreme temperatures causing the converter to plug which creates a low engine power issue and lastly, the converter material can break apart and leave the converter empty with absolutely no effect on the engine exhaust flowing through it.
Best Practices
Use new gaskets when installing a new catalytic converter.
Spray exhaust mounting bolt with an anti rust lubricant such as WD40 to help aid the dis-assembly process.

Please excuse if it's considered a rude question, but should will we have something to play with (testers)? I have 1 ATI card right now, and will be ordering a much better one to get rid of the Nvidia I have in my computer once a testing driver becomes available that supports one of the newer cards.
Thanks for all your work on this, it's a dream come true.

You can add bookmarks to different pages within an ibook and access them via its Contents Bookmarks Notes screen, but that might not be as sophisticated as you are want.
For the ability to have multiple books open, you can leave feedback for Apple here (these are user-to-user forums and Apple don't monitor them) : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ibooks_ios.html
Christian C. Berclaz Nov 15, 2012 4:09 AM
in response to King_Penguin
Hey King Penguin
That's a good point and indeed I was looking at something a little bit more sophisticated. Though I definitely should look a bit more into the bookmarks. Bookmarks, I believe, do not provide a complete answer to what I was describing because often you will navigate from one book to the other looking for something and thus there are not yet bookmarks.
I will post it to the Apple feedback as well but I wanted to see whether others think the same in the forum.

(English) Zbl 1223.44001 Nonlinear Stud. 18, No. 1, 99-112 (2011). The Sumudu transform was introduced by {\it G. F. Watugala} in an effort to improve Laplace transform techniques (see for instance [Int. J. Math. Educ. Sci. Technol. 24, No. 1, 35--43 (1993; Zbl 0768.44003)]). The Sumudu transform of a function $f(x)$ is defined by the formula $$G(u)= S[f(t)](u)= \int^\infty_0 f(ut)\,e^{-t}\,dt,$$ and is connected to the Laplace transform $$f(t)\to F(s)= \int^\infty_0 f(t) e^{-st}\, dt$$ in a natural way, $G(u)= {1\over u} F({1\over u})$. Using this formula one can translate properties of the Laplace transform into properties of the Sumudu transform and vice versa. This transform is used practically for the same purpose the Laplace transform is used -- for solving ordinary and partial-differential equations. Some formulas turn out to be very convenient. In the present paper, the authors apply the Sumudu transform to fractional calculus, computing the transforms of fractional derivatives and integrals. For instance, if $D^{-\alpha} f$ is the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral, it is shown that $S[D^{-\alpha} f(t)]= u^\alpha G(u)$. The authors also demonstrate how to solve fractional-differential equations with this transform. As an added bonus for the reader, the paper is accompanied by a representative table of transforms $S[D^{-\alpha} f(t)]$.Reviewer: Khristo N.

US Equity and Economic Review: Another Retreat, EditionBy: HaleStewart
Topline U.S. growth is lackluster: 4Q15 GDP grew 1.4% and the initial 1Q16 report was .5%. And the combination of a strong dollar and weak international economies have led to declining corporate profits in 4 of the last 5 quarters. The combination of weak economic and revenue growth is the primary reason equity markets have been unable to break through long-term resistance. Read more

Ouch. Take care of yourself!
This member has provided no bio about themself...
Ouch. Take care of yourself!
I've sort of given up. Mentioned before I will never alpha or even beta fund another project from the indie stone. I'll wait till its a 1.02 or better. Released and patched with reviews for confirmation.
I have faith in their ability for ideas but not their ability to produce them anymore. And I honestly don't feel I'm being unjust either.
LoL bicycles would be awesome! Just imaging the zombie horde on your tail!! Then you spot a pike and start pedaling to safety!!! Then you get a flat!!! Crash into a tree! Wake up to a zombie gnawing on your foot!
I sort of don't get what this is at all.
I would really love to be able to get into another warband SP mod but there is one thing I hate so much that it keeps me away. I hate how NPCs will pile up and swing through each other to hit you. This has always forced me to feel like I either need to play mounted all the time or just let the NPCs do all the fighting.
Is there any chance your AI tweaks can or will address that? The fact that no one else has ever really done anything about it made me think it was in the engine but it can't hurt to ask right?
Glad to see you guys did post up at mmorpg.com. I put in my hype! Even mentioned the kickstarter. Who knows? maybe you will get a last days rush and make the mark?
Man that kickstarter campaign is breaking my heart. :.(... I mean I'm glad to know you guys plan to continue development regardless but still... Would have been nice to see that boost get injected into your resources.
Just oozing atmosphere man. You all did a great job as always.
LOL!!! Whats with passed out guy on the bench?!? Looks good though.
Be fair man. Their other updates talk about plenty of improvements they are making.
They... just couldn't release... Any of them at all. >.> Yeah...
Okay I'm getting sick of these guys too. They have a good game concept. The improvements they talk about sound great. But the actually getting of stuff done and then getting it out to us their fans? It's freakin pathetic. It will be nice if I actually get to play a more polished version of PZ some day but I think I'll make it a point to avoid any other products these guys put out. At least until I see that it's good and finished before hand. I sure wouldn't be supporting them during development. They've shown that to be a mistake.
By making a large enough contribution to their kickstarter campaign.
I'm sort of shocked your kickstarter isn't doing better. I mean you've shown great quality graphics, interesting gameplay, and even had a pretty girl showcasing stuff in one of yours videos! There is still of course plenty of time for it to reach it's goal. I just figured it would have been past it by now!
Might I suggest seeing if you all can't work something out with mmorpg.com ? It's one of my favorite placed to keep track of MMOs. I mean if they are willing I don't think it would cost you anything but time.
At the very least you should be able to set up an account to display info on your game. But considering the uniqueness and quality that you all have shown so far I wouldn't be surprised if they were happy to do an interview.
While I like it considerably less and could tell you little about it Mmohuts.com also seems fairly active and they put up a lot of video reviews using youtube.
I wish I were doing better and could contribute more but these suggestions are all I really have to offer. Good luck and keep up the good work.
Actually I want to touch on that combat system comment myself. I would personally love if the dev team could at some point add an option for a more interesting combat system. Something like oblivion or skyrim had. Or if you are feeling really froggy you could even try to add a better version of the Mount & Blade style combat in. I know it would be a lot of work. New AI, new animations for both third and first person, and a lot of balancing. But still. If you can ever drum up the interest in doing that I'd love you all eternally!
Hehe that looks really good! Of course they all sort of strike me as pine trees but I get that there is a limitation to this sort of art style. ;)
You game only seems more interesting the more I read. Looking forward to more!
Man you guys made a lot of progress! Exciting!
Those bracket looking things on the walls remind me of the old docking bays from X2. Not a bad thing as that was my favorite game from the X-Universe series. I mean sure they made graphical advances and added nice features with 3 and its expansions but X2.. It sucked me in the most. Had the most authentic feel.
I remember trying this out a bit early in testing. The concept was interesting. I wish you the best of luck with your rerelease! My gaming budget is going to be really tight for a good while so this one may have to wait but I'll be sure to give the demo a try and if I like it grab it when I can.
What about night time with rain? O.o
I wish I could afford to contribute to the kick starter. I noticed this game a while ago and was interested. Could have sworn I was tracking it actually. Well, at least that's fixed.
Maybe if the kickstarter goes well you all could eventually start offering pre-order sort of stuff to let those of us who can't afford it now support you all when we can?
:p Bah, I've been watching this mod long enough that if you were going to get sick of me it would have happened around your first release! I just wanted to make sure it was clear I was still an appreciative fan and not one of the nasty, self-entitled mob.
Hey True Zone guys. Thanks for keeping this project going and keeping us fans informed. Sometimes I joke about how badly you all are teasing us with the media updates but those are just that. Jokes. I'm really grateful for your time and effort and hope I never came across as anything else. Looking forward to more of your work!
Finally! I am a fan of fantasy and scifi myself. But the fact that someone is finally letting you play a game like this as a single individual sparks my interest. I've been trying to figure out why no one has done this already for a while now. Nice to see that someone actually IS!
That is a staggering transformation man. And hair or no that is one sexy fictional lady!
:.(.... Why am I not playing 2.0 yet?
That is impressive. And I can only begin to imagine how badly it would have choked the system I had when I originally got this game. LOL
Between the costumes and the harry Potter poster that pic does not inspire a lot of confidence. Amusement sure. Confidence no. And batman, why is there an extremely happy henchmen daintily holding your cape?
Being free actually makes it easier for people to donate time or assets doesn't it?
Just finished reading and got to say it's plenty of info for so early in design and sounds pretty ambitious and exciting for those of us with an interest in this sort of game!
I have only one point of confusion. Possibly because I've never played either of the games you've modded. Do you aim to combine both individual character control/movement with big floating sailing as the entire ship by the time you are nearing basic feature completeness?
Sorry there are actually two. Do you plan to make this a retail game?
hehe Just waking up. Spotted this during my sleep fogged early net wanderings. I'll read it all once my focus is a bit sharper.
I haven't finished reading this just yet but.. Holy crap! Awesome! With this much of your concepts broken down to cover each area few people should be confused on what you all plan so far!

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- People interested in helping the Kosovar Albanian refugees can best support the relief effort by making a cash donation or organizing a fundraiser rather than collecting goods, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the U.S. federal disaster relief agency.
FEMA has extensive experience in coordinating donations to help the victims of catastrophic disasters and is using that expertise to help the Kosovo refugees. FEMA became involved in the Kosovo relief effort at the request of President Clinton, who named Director James Lee Witt to the coordinating council for the U.S. Government's humanitarian response to the refugee crisis.
"Cash donations are really the best way to help," Witt said. "The situation on the ground and in the refugee camps is constantly changing and the needs of the refugees may differ from one place to another. The relief organizations working in the Balkans can use the funds to purchase items they know are needed by the refugees." Donated items and goods require money and time to sort, warehouse and match with refugee needs; then they must be shipped and arrangements made for receipt and distribution, he added.
FEMA, working with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), set up a Kosovo Relief Donations Hotline and center in Hyattsville, Md., where operators are taking calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Since April 6, operators have referred more than 37,000 callers to U.S.-based relief organizations working in the Balkans. The hotline number is 1-800-U-S-A-I-D-Relief (1-800-872-4373).
When people call the donations hotline, FEMA operators tell callers how they can help, advise them that cash is the best way to assist and help them find a reliable, U.S.-based, private relief organization that is providing direct assistance to the people of Kosovo. Americans who have Internet access can go directly to the web page of InterAction, a coalition of established U.S.-based relief organizations at www.interaction.org; click on "Kosovo" for the listing of relief organizations providing help to people displaced by the conflict.
"We want to urge people who want to help to make a financial contribution," Witt said. "It's easy to begin that process by calling 1-800-U-S-A-I-D-Relief."

?Weekly editor and resident dive bar connoisseur Mike Seely recalls his lone visit to Chuck and Sally's Tavern like it was a passionate one-night stand that had the potential for some steady loving, if only fate hadn't intervened. He wistfully describes the neighborhood watering hole near Morgan Street Junction as having several pool tables, a loaded jukebox and a friendly regular who surreptitiously picked up his tab for several pitchers.
King County Department of Assessments The corpse of Chuck and Sally's, on the corner of California Avenue SW and SW Graham Street.
He also recalls returning a month later to rekindle the relationship, only to find that his mistress had sneaked off behind his back and left a temporarily closed sign hanging in the window. The "temporary" sign has remained in the window for three-plus years, and has been the source of much scrutiny and suggestion on the peninsula. But, all speculation aside, the question still remained: Who is/was Chuck
and Sally's owner and why has the building sat vacant now for so long?

Whispering Death
this wiki
- "The Whispering Death knows only one thing, killing!"
- ―Gobber, How to Train Your Dragon exclusive short, from the Book of Dragons.
Whispering Death is a dragon that appears in the film continuity and exclusive short, the Book of Dragons. This dragon is seen when Hiccup reads the Dragon Manual, and they are classified as Boulder Class.
Dragon Appearance
The Whispering Death is somewhat similar to a Deadly Nadder, but with bulging eyes, face and spirals of barbed teeth that line the entirety of his inner mouth. It has a snake body and neck, similar to a Zippleback, but Whispering Deaths have no legs, only the lower spikes (which can be used for locomotion through their tunnels).
Many consider them extremely vicious and often have nightmares after confronting these horrors. Their gaping mouths are full of deadly rotating teeth. Their wings can also be rotated, presumably to aid in the drilling process. They look very similar to the Gulper Eel.
Whispering Deaths are extremely deadly, like most other dragons, and are able to chew their victims after their ingestion, using their multiple rows of rotating teeth. They usually live in underground tunnels they burrow themselves, using a burrowing attack against oncoming enemy/prey.
The Dragon Guide once said that they were extremely dangerous and must be killed on the spot. Nevertheless, despite their fearsome reputation, they wanted to brush their teeth. In What Flies Beneath, Fishlegs noticed that a Whispering Death's eyes were sensitive against direct sunlight, which is why it spends most of its time underground.
When Whispering Deaths find intruders in their tunnels, they will forcibly eject them from the nearest pit. This was done to Bucket, but later, when he did the same to Hiccup, he also tried to kill him, pursuing him even above the ground; this may be because although Bucket had simply fallen in, Hiccup was caught running along its tunnel system. Perhaps the dragon believed he was deeply invading his territory.
Whispering Deaths are known to be more dangerous in their infant stages, in contrast to their teenage or adult forms. They say that they have less control over their rotating teeth and spines, and are described to be "out of control saw blades." Young Whispering Deaths are known to be extremely territorial of their homeland, "claiming it as their own."
Abilities and Weaponry
As hatchlings and adults, they shown to be able to tunnel underground.
Whispering Death has the ability to use its jaw to travel quickly through solid rock, giving it, arguably, the greatest jaw strength in the dragon world. But despite their powerful jaws, they can't break through metal.
Rotating Teeth
They have special ability to tunnel underground with great speeds because of their rotating sharp teeth. As the rows of teeth move backwards, it literally sucks everything in a good range in its path. This is called the Vacuum effect.
Fire Power
Whispering Death can breathe powerful rings of fire. The ring of fire is able to create large fire ball. An immature Whispering Death's fire is considerably weaker to an adults'.
Strength and Combat
These dragons are incredibly strong physically according to Fishlegs, as shown by Toothless' Rival being able to throw Toothless a great distance by using its tail whip.
As proven from Toothless' Nemesis, has proven to be one of few dragons to able to fight against Night Fury.
Speed and Agility
Their body, being long, is extremely flexible, and to fly faster, it simply spins its body in a circular motion at a higher rate. With its long, thin body, the tail often makes a whip-crack noise.
Spine Shot
Whispering Deaths are able to shoot their spines just like a Deadly Nadder, which grow on the head and along the length of his body. According to Fishlegs they can shoot spines from any part of their body.
They have six inner rings of sharp teeth that are able to be rotated in opposite directions the ground to create tunnels. When these teeth move, they make a terrible and eerie noise that sounds like a lot of people whispering. Hearing "The Whisper", together with the ground rumbling, are often the only two warning signs that a Whispering Death is coming from underground tunnels if it is not near the surface, throwing earth and rock. Toothless could detect the presence of one from Hiccup's bedroom, which is above ground level.
Whispering Deaths have high defense, being a Boulder Class dragon. They can take many attacks from their enemies as Toothless' Rival was able to fight against Toothless and even getting hit by large boulder from catapult in the face.
Senses and Immunity
Their sense of vision is strong to see in the dark and underground tunnels. They even have ability to see the viewers closer from certain distance as Toothless' Rival was able to from Toothless head to his tail.
Apparently, it has an immunity to the effects of conventional Dragon Nip. When Hiccup tried to use the Dragon Nip to stop an attacking Whispering Death, sniffing it just made the dragon sneeze. Furthermore, it was shown that is not affected by the roar of the Thunderdrum, but can still be used to push it away a distance. Possibly its having a rock diet might be the cause of its immunity to Dragon Root.
The Whispering Deaths shown have great intelligence as the babies were able to work together as a team to be able to pick up the Screaming Death and Toothless' Rival was able understand that Toothless is unable to fly.
Hunter and Fisher
Whispering Deaths are shown to hunt underground as they can eat animals or humans. It is quite possible they use tunnels to trap their prey so they can hunt on their own terms. It is also implied that the Whispering Death can fish, as the hatchling Whispering Deaths were shown to bring fish to their wounded Screaming Death sibling. This could mean that they have the ability to swim if the young Whispering Deaths were able to get fish.
Whispering Death hate sunlight so they spend their time underground. Although their teeth can break rock, they can not break through metal plating. Like nearly all other dragons, a Whispering Death is believed to avoid eels.
Titan Wing
Source: Dragons: Rise of Berk
Titan Whispering Deaths are armed with many more rows of larger, sharper teeth. They have bigger eyes that do not show their pupils, their eyes are encircled by a small white ring. Titan Whispering Deaths are covered with more dark blue spikes. These spikes can be found on their chin, behind their eyes, their neck and on their tail. They have pairs of purple wings with glossy blue edges. Their body is sand brown and the bottom of their chin is faint purple in colour.
How to Train Your Dragon (film)
Whispering Death is mentioned when Hiccup reads through Dragon Manual for information about Night Furies. Apparently, this dragon is one of the most feared dragons, as Hiccup says it's name with great fear. Extremely dangerous and must be killed on sight.

Whispering Death has a longer appearance in the short film Book of Dragons. Its characteristics and features are spoken about, as well as its' love of having its teeth brushed. It is also shown when he attacks Bork and his girlfriend, it burned Bork.
Dragons: Riders/Defenders of Berk
Whispering Death made its first appearance in the episode What Flies Beneath. This dragon had a grudge with Toothless because of some past confrontation that led to the Night Fury leaving a characteristic scar on the skin of it. Although Toothless tried to fight him on his own, his inability to fly to put him at a disadvantage. The Whispering Death almost killed Toothless, trying to knock him into a canyon. It was only after Toothless accepted Hiccup's help that the Whispering Death is defeated and, at Hiccup's insistence, spared him. Once it fled, the holes that it caused were blocked with boulders.
In We Are Family Part II, a Whispering Death makes another appearance (it is not confirmed whether this is the same dragon that appeared in episode 14). The dragon was seen in the cells on Outcast Island throughout the episode. Alvin tried to get Hiccup to train it along with two other dragons, but Hiccup fled on a Deadly Nadder leaving Alvin disappointed. At the end of the episode, Alvin finally learns to train a dragon, and bonded with a Whispering Death. Thus, Alvin reached his goal at the end of Live and Let Fly. The Outcasts put a large number of Whispering Death eggs under the tunnels of Berk, and soon, one of the eggs hatched.
In The Iron Gronckle, Savage and some Outcasts revisited the tunnels, where many young Whispering Death had hatched and tunnelled. Later, they found the Screaming Death egg, and its very large tunnel. They escaped when they heard the Screaming Death roaring in the distance.
Several appeared in Tunnel Vision. At least three Whispering Death juveniles emerged and attacked the village. After the Whispering Deaths were driven off, the Screaming Death appeared and summoned them back. The Whispering Deaths re-engaged the riders but were eventually defeated. When the Screaming Death was wounded by Hiccup and Toothless, the Whispering Death juveniles came to its aid, carrying it to an unknown location and feeding it to aid in its recovery.
In Cast Out Part II, one is shown on Outcast Island where Mildew is feeding it fish. It also tried to steal his staff. After that, the mother of all the juvenile Whispering Deaths (including the Screaming Death) seen so far is also shown, sleeping above her nest. As part of the plan to rescue Stoick, Hiccup, and Toothless from Dagur, Alvin and Mildew released the dragons. They begin attacking the Berserkers, not to mention destroying the Outcast killing arena. After Fishlegs brought the Screaming Death to Outcast Island, it finally noticed its mother (the one it was looking for in the first place, and it goes berserk), yet Dagur captured and threatened to kill the mother, making the giant dragon go mad once again. Thanks to Snotlout and Hookfang's acts, the mother is freed, and the Screaming Death reunites with it's family, not forgetting to thanks Hiccup and Toothless by roaring at him before flying off with its siblings.

Known Victims
- In the online game Wild Skies, the player can get 2 icons of Whispering Death. "Make Sure to Floss" from training it, and "Furious Digger ' from geting 3 stars in 3 challenges with it.
- According to Astrid, the Whispering Death weights about 2,500 pounds.
- According to Gobber, a Whispering Death knows only one thing: killing. In fact it is kind of true. The Whispering Death that appeared in "What Flies Beneath" was untrainable, and one that appeared in the finale was extremely aggressive towards Hiccup and Mildew. If this saying is true, then it helps to explain why Alvin could train his Whispering Death. Like most dragons and riders, they share personality traits.
- Whispering Deaths are one of the largest dragons along with the Boneknapper, Scauldron, Timberjack, Snaptrapper, Typhoomerang and Screaming Death (although the Screaming Death is actually a sub-species of Whispering Death) .
- A Whispering Death's diet includes cattle, sheep, and yaks, though it also seems to eat humans, or at least those who invade his territory. It is implied they are able to fish.
- Tuffnut wants a Whispering Death and thinks it's name is "... much better than Zippleback!". He and Ruffnut later state that the destruction they cause is 'beautiful'.
- According to statistics, Whispering Death is the third most statistically powerful dragon, the first of which is the Screaming Death, and the second is the Night Fury.
- Whispering Death's are one of the most fearsome dragons, like the Night Fury, Skrill, Boneknapper and Red Death.
- The Whispering Death is the second dragon species to have the word "death" somewhere in its name, the first being the Red Death the third being the Screaming Death, the fourth being the Sweet Death, and the fifth being the Deathsong.
- The Whispering Death is the first dragon immune to other dragons attacks, as Thornado's sonic roar didn't affect it much.
- They seem to be based on a hagfish and snake.
- According to its statistics, the shot limit of the Whispering Death is 2. But in What Flies Beneath, Whispering Death's fire shot more than twice, continuously. According to School of Dragons they have a shot limit of 10 which would appear to be the case.
- A Whispering Death's weakness is sunlight.
- Young Whispering Deaths are more violent than adults, as they have less control of their jaws or their spines.
- Baby Whispering Deaths are able to fly as soon as they hatch.
- Whispering Deaths seem to be loyal to the Screaming Death.
- The Whispering Death resembles the Mongolian Death Worm, a mythical creature from Asia.
- The "whisper" in Whispering Death comes from the sound that its rotating teeth make when it destroys rocks.
- According to School Of Dragons, Whispering Deaths can grow 95 feet long.
- In the Riders of Berk comic book series, it is shown that Whispering Deaths can be trained if they are babies.It is also shown that a dragon's fire can incubate and hatch a Whispering Death egg.
- In Rise of Berk, there are two statues of Whispering Deaths outside the Meade Hall that serves the purpose of torches.
- As demonstrated by Toothless's nemesis Whispering Deaths appear to be one of the few dragons which can go toe to toe with a Night Fury (though this is not officially stated), along with the Skrill (being the only officially stated dragon which can go toe to toe with a Night Fury).

DNA Finds Fungi for Orchids
The secret is in the soil. In one of the oddest couples in the natural world, orchids need fungi to grow. But finding those fungi can be tricky, until a new study from the Plant Ecology Lab used DNA to find those fungi in more places than anyone had suspected. (Photo: Yini Ma)

I'm using the partial classes feature of Linq2SQL to add some helper methods to my objects.
The problem is that I need to perform some additional database queries in these helper methods, so I have to create a new DataContext every time.
I want to reuse a DataContext for all database operations within a single web service query.
If I keep the helper methods in a separate class, I simply initialize the context just once in the class constructor and reuse it for all methods.
With extended Linq2SQL classes I can't figure out how to get a reference to the same DataContext that was used for retrieving the current object.

What to Expect When You're Expecting Review
"The Ups And Downs Of Pregnancy, And Some Laughs Along The Way"
May 20th, 2012
What to Expect is a movie compiled of 5 short stories that all intertwine one way or another. We follow the pregnancy of 5 different women and couples and how they handle the ups and downs and how they come together in the end to be that support they each of them need.
Overall I think it was a great movie. It provided for close to 2 hours of laughs and emotions. The film, in my opinion, closely portrayed pregnancy and how it differs among each and every woman and couple. The cast was absolutely perfect for each part they played, however Diaz never sold me as a muscle hungry woman. She especially lost me when her character said she climbed everest. I'm sorry, but I don't see a muscle toned Diaz climbing Everest.
Other than that, the movie was fantastic. We will definitely be looking to order this one on blu ray when it comes out.

|Putting Off Working On Your Tax Return May Cost You, Financial Planner Warns

3 Tips for Keeping More of Your Own Money
Nearly 150 million Americans will file federal income tax returns this year and, unfortunately, many will be shelling out much more of their hard-earned money than necessary, says veteran financial expert Jeff Gorton.
"With the ridiculous complexity of our tax code, I can understand how the average person might want to put off doing their homework, but that'll cost you," says Gorton, a veteran Certified Public Accountant and Certified Financial Planner™, and head of Gorton Financial Group (www.gortonfinancialgroup.com)
"When you think about all you do to earn your money, and the lengths we'll go to save a few bucks, it doesn't make sense to not do all we can to prepare for the inevitable – our compulsory contribution to Uncle Sam's bank account."
There is nothing unpatriotic about taking advantage of legal measures to reduce your tax bill, Gorton says. Most Americans, however, don't understand the basics of how to minimize the tax burden, he says.
"If you wait until the last minute to do your taxes, you're sure to miss out on savings," says Gorton, who offers some basic and more advanced tax-saving options.

Skip to comments.Mitt Romney attacks Obama's leadership on Oil Spill
Posted on 06/25/2010 9:22:43 AM PDT by Comrade Brother Abu Bubba
Mitt Romney attacks Obama's leadership on Oil Spill
Has it come to this again? The president is meeting with his oil spill experts, he crudely tells us, so that he knows "whose @ss to kick." We have become accustomed to his management style target a scapegoat, assign blame and go on the attack. To win health care legislation, he vilified insurance executives; to escape bankruptcy law for General Motors, he demonized senior lenders; to take the focus from the excesses of government, he castigated business meetings in Las Vegas; and to deflect responsibility for the deepening and lengthening downturn, he blames Wall Street and George W. Bush. But what may make good politics does not make good leadership. And when a crisis is upon us, America wants a leader, not a politician.
The first rule of turnarounds is to focus time, energy and resources on what matters most. The president simply cannot treat this crisis like another of his many problems. The oil disaster could hurt millions of families, slam the regional economy, kill untold numbers of non-human lives and irreparably damage the planet. Among other things, he must not hold more rock concerts at the White House I understand James Carville's venting: His hero (Obama like the Roman Emperor NERO) fiddled as oil churned.
President Obama's instigation of criminal investigations of BP at this juncture is classic diversion politics and worse, it will engender bunker mentality at a time when collaboration and openness are most critical. BP's actions and inactions are reprehensible; it must be made to pay the billions upon billions of dollars that this spill will ultimately cost. But call out the phalanx of lawyers later solve the crisis today.

In about a week, I received a coupon in the mail for a free can of Edge Shaving Cream along with a coupon for a free Schick "Quattro" razor. I went to the same store to exchange the coupon for the "Quattro" (the thing has a battery operated trimmer on the opposite end of the razor).
Just recently, I purchased a can of Edge "Ultra Sensitive" [for conscientious Conservatives :-)] Oatmeal Shaving Gel and am proud to announce that the grey plastic cap has definitely changed for the better - it's more flexible and not susceptible to failure - by breaking apart like in the recent past.
The point I am trying to make is that one person can make a difference. I have actually accomplished something constructive this year, unlike President Obama. Also, wouldn't it be nice if you could call an 800 number to recall a defective product or failure?
Like President Obama who's only "accomplishment" is holding the Gulf of Mexico hostage with his 6 month deep water moratorium!
Let's make 2012 the End of the Obama ERROR.
Make a Difference, Freepers!
How can you attack that which does not exist, Mittt?
Mitt, if all you can attack is Obama's deliberate malfeasance on the oil spill, you will be wasting your money in the primaries....how about the financial control bill that these socialists passed today???
It is our LIBERTY AND FREEDOMS that are being stolen — attack THAT!!!
Mitt Romney... I've heard that name before, I think.
What would you have *DONE* Mitt, had you been the man at the rudder?
Mitt, have a seat.....
That was Comrad Brother Abu Bubba's quote. I don't know who started it, but I like it.
I hope the GOP doesn't sabotage us again by putting mitt (or another RINO) up as the GOP candidate. .. however, that being said, if he ran this article on the liberal CBS, it's good. ANY article that can help enlighten any liberals is a good thing. They need to see more articles more often.
The current admin is quite simply LOOTING our nation via what is nothing less than organized crime. Has it gotten to the point that there is no one who can or is willing to enforce the laws against this corruption?
Now that it's in style, Mittens comes out against 0. But if the winds change, he'll be back cheer leading the rats.
That's today, wonder what he'll think tomorrow?
Things are pretty bad under Obama's Alinskyite dystopia.
But maneuvers are under way to get back into Stockholm
Syndrome with Romney and the Rockefeller Republicans.
This is not a solution.
Another big government plutocrat disconnected from the American people will not provide the needed leadership or conservatism.
Who's "tougher?" A can of hair gel or a teleprompter?
Since I have accomplished something constructive this year unlike the current resident, I am qualified to be President of the United States. Scary thought, standards are so low.
I am pleased Mitt attacked Obama re the oil spill on 10 June.
Again catching up with Sarah Palin who has been condemning
Obama's non leadership of the oil spill since April
and several times thereafter on TV and in print
and suggesting what he should be doing.
Finally, when even MSNBC took off the kneepads for a few moments, Mitt deemed it safe to add his voice to the crowd.
I googled 2012: End of the Obama Error and received no links for a cartoon that went "VIRAL".
Would you please post the cartoon (which went "viral") or the link to the cartoon which went "viral"?
One error was Team Romney attacking Gov. Palin for Obama
to throw the Election to Obama.
How has that worked out for all you RomneyBOTs?
It has ruined America, and the American people will not forget.
The error was anti-McCain people who stayed home throwing the election to Obama.
How is that working out for you?
What I said!
Which is why this is posted over and over.
And that brings up two questions.
Where are Romney's parents' birth certificates,
and ROMNEY has supported Obama, such as with TARP against the American people.
How did that work out for you RomneyBOTs?
America will never forget that while Gov. Palin
helped the Tea Parties and fought ObamaCARE,
where was the perpetual soreloser Mitt Romney?
Why, Romney was backing Obama (again).
You ain't heard NOTHIN' yet!!
What I said.
Romney care is so successful that it needs near a billion a year handout from the Feds..er..us...

It was built in 1156 AD by the Bhati Rajput ruler Rao Jaisal, from where it derives its name. The fort stands proudly amidst the golden stretches of the great Thar Desert, on Trikuta Hill, and has been the scene of many battles. Its massive yellow sandstone walls are a tawny lion color during the day, fading to honey-gold as the sun sets, thereby camouflaging the fort in the yellow desert. For this reason, it is also known as the "Golden Fort".This fort, popularly known as the 'Sonar quilla' by the locals, is located in the very heart the city, and is one of the most breathtaking monuments in the locality.
Very nice. Like.
Really a fantastic building, very very good shot!

So from what I read there is no xposed still for stock based roms? I tried it of corse and sure enough boot loop.
Sent from my SM-G900P using XDA Free mobile app
Ya know what you can try.... install this app, set SeLinux to permissive, then install/flash the alpha 2 of Xposed.
Make a nanoid first, as that's not likely to work. FYI, if using KT Kernel, that feature is now built in.
I thought Rovo created an Xposed uninstaller so people did not have to restore a nandroid and they could instead just flash the Xposed Uninstaller zip?
What feature is built in. The link to playstore?
Sent from my SM-G900P using XDA Free mobile app
No if you are using ktoonz kernel it comes with kTweaker and in that app you can change kernel to permissive or enforcing
