The University of Illinois football team will hold a spring practice at the Sacred Heart-Griffin High School athletic complex on Friday, April 4.
Kent Brown, associate athletics director in media relations for the university, confirmed the practice on Monday. Although details are still to be worked out, the practice will start about 5:30 p.m. and will last 2-2½ hours on the artificial turf field at SHG.
The practice is free and open to the public.
The move follows in the footsteps of the U of I's practice held at Chicago's Gately Stadium last spring. Gately Stadium is one of the best-known football facilities in the Chicago Public Schools system.
"This is a great opportunity to try to do something downstate," Brown said. "We want to see what kind of response we get."
SHG football coach and athletic director Ken Leonard said it was part of the U of I's "Our State, Our Team" motto, and it is a chance for a passionate group of Illinois fans to see the players up close and personally.
Sangamon County is the home to three players who will be on next year's Illini football roster: SHG's Malik Turner and Rochester's state-championship passing duo of quarterback Wes Lunt and receiver Zach Grant.
Turner, a wide receiver, caught 69 passes for 1,361 yards and 22 touchdowns this season to help power SHG to the Class 5A state title, beating four-time defending champion Lombard Montini in the process.
Lunt and Grant were a dangerous combination for the Rockets, helping Rochester win a second straight championship in 2011.
Grant set a state record for receiving yards in a season that year with 2,310, eclipsing the state record of 2,241 set by SHG's Mike Pilger in 1994.
In two years, both culminating with state titles, Lunt threw for 7,418 yards and 65 touchdowns while completing 478 of 664 passes. He had eight interceptions in two seasons.
Lunt went to Oklahoma State and started as a true freshman in 2012 before transferring to Illinois last summer.

EAST LIVERPOOL - A young mother and her child, in need of help and a place to stay.
That modern-day Christmas story, so reminiscent of the ancient one, played itself out at CrossRoads Assisted Living at Beaver Creek on Sunday - with residents and staff reaching out to nine women and 17 children from Fleming House in Lisbon.
The generation-spanning Secret Santa event resulted in an unexpectedly rich Christmas for the children and their benefactors. "I have never seen such generosity," Tabitha Townsend, one of the mothers, told the residents.

"I'm breathless at your generosity for these youngsters and their mothers," said Eloise Traina, executive director of the Family Recovery Center, which runs Fleming House.
CrossRoads chose Fleming House for its Secret Santa event this year because the women who live there - some of them homeless, some just out of treatment - are not in a position to bestow many good things on their children this Christmas, said Penny Traina, CrossRoads executive director.
Fleming House is a transitional home for women and their children, with one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. Women who live there are encouraged to work, perform community service and attend 12-step meetings.
"They go through a recovery program and then graduate. Most of them are employed part time. They do a lot of different things to get themselves back on their feet," Eloise Traina said.
CrossRoads solicited gifts for the children through a giving tree located in the front lobby and through Secret Santa letters written by the children, Penny Traina said. Residents took stockings from the giving tree and registered their gifts at the front desk. Staff members handled the individual gift requests, usually toys, in the letters.
"I really like Batman and the evil villains," wrote a 4-year-old boy named Levi. "They are really fun to play with. I also enjoy watching the 'Power Rangers.' I love reading and learning with my mommy."
A girl named Dorothy, 12, wrote, "I've been good this year. I would like nail polish (neon colors). Or I would like a zebra print pillow."
"I have been real good for my mom," wrote Delos, 9. "Can I have a Nerf gun?"
Penny Traina then assembled a Christmas wish list for the children. "The entire facility had a part in it," she said. "Our goal was for everybody to get a pair of pants, a shirt and a toy."
As she distributed the gifts on Sunday, residential manager Laura Martin said, "I'm getting goosebumps. This is so exciting."
In return, after opening their presents, the children distributed handmade Christmas tree ornaments to the residents. "It's so they learn to give back," Eloise Traina said.

The latest arriving grapes in recent history (Nov. 4th) came from our Oregon friends in the Amity-Eola Hills appellation of the Willamette Valley. Lying west of Salem, the Left Coast properties are on the 45th Parallel which is claimed by Burgundian aficianados to be the ideal latitude for Pinot Noir. Sourced from their Right Bank Block, the vineyard sits on a variety of elevations in a natural amphitheatre on a series of steep south and west facing hills. Planted exclusively to the Pommard clone 5, the vines are on silty loam soils underlain by sedimentary rock made up of sea shells and fossils. There is a sturdiness in the substantial mouthfeel which grows with aeration and builds to a dense tightly knit finish of integrated fruit, tannin and soil influence.

A Vertical Aquaponic Eco Farming Project in PR
Or as I've nick-named it- "The Tryon Project",
after it's creator, Mr. Richard Tryon.
I had the great privilege of meeting Mr. Tryon and his wife where he gave me (and me 1st Mate) the big tour and back-story of his Santa Isabel pilot project.
We got there just as a van full of college students were leaving. That's not Recao, but Cilantro he's holding up. Very polite dude, BTW.
This article is somewhat of a departure from my usual travel material, but I like it because it shows off some of the more interesting projects being done in Puerto Rico. Especially any effort to help create self-suffecient, self-relient individuals like me-self… ARRG! I also thought Puerto Ricans on the mainland would be interested in this as well. So here's what I got. Continue reading

QUESTIONSPosted Sunday, June 19, 2011, at 10:59 PM
I've had a busy week, but several emails have come in to me lately with questions so I'm going to take some time here to answer a few of them.
Q: I keep hearing 'write what you know.' What if I haven't traveled or had a lot of experiences, but I want to write about them?
A: I've heard that expression for years, too, but I'd modify it to "write about what interests you." Stephenie Meyer has found huge success lately with her series about vampires, yet I'm quite sure she has no firsthand knowledge of vampires. The Internet is a wonderful thing, giving us the opportunity to do endless research and to become, in effect, experts in almost any subject. You want to write a John Grisham-like thriller about lawyers, but you're not a lawyer? Research the subject until you feel like an expert, and it will show in your writing.
Q: What does 'show don't tell' mean?
A: One of my favorite quotes about writing is "Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass," by Anton Chekhov. That pretty much sums it up. Don't tell your readers that your character is heartbroken over her lost love. Show them her tears, her withdrawal from friends and family, the bad choices she makes in an attempt to cover her pain.
Q: I'm on my first chapter but can't seem to get past that point. I just keep rewriting it and rewriting it.
A: I always suggest powering through your first full draft, just to get it down on paper. If you try to get chapter one perfect you'll spend the rest of your life on it, because there's no such thing as perfection.
Q: I like to read fantasy and want to write it. But does fantasy really sell?
A: Don't write what you hope will sell. Write what you love to read, and what you truly want to write. Writing is hard enough work as it is. But hard work or not, it should still be fun. If all you're thinking about is if, somewhere down the road, it will "sell," you're ruining the experience for yourself.
Q: I don't have time to write every day. Sometimes it's a week or more before I can get back to my book, then I have to reread almost all of it to refresh my memory on it.
A: I know how hard it is to write every day, but a week or more is too long between writing sessions. You'll lose the thread of your story in that time, and will spend most of your time trying to catch up. Set a writing goal for yourself and try to stick with it. If you know you can't write every day, then set your goal at four times a week (or whatever you think is doable), an hour each time. If you write best in the mornings, then commit to writing for an hour in the morning, four times a week. Just try to be consistent. Make writing a habit.
Q: My serious book has lighthearted undertones, but a friend who read it said she was confused by this. Should I stick to one or the other?
A: Steel Magnolias by Robert Harling is a good example of a book that's filled with humor, yet is also very serious. Larry McMurtry handles the combination of humor and heartbreak with Pulitzer Prize-winning (Lonesome Dove) skill. His novel Terms of Endearment is no doubt a tearjerker, yet it's also very funny. If your book is about a serious subject, you don't want it to be unrelentingly dark. The lighthearted parts are a good way to give your readers a breather from all that drama. And beware of sharing your work with friends and family before you're finished. You'll get too many conflicting opinions. If you start trying to please everyone, you'll end up pleasing no one.
"Writers seldom write the things they think. They simply write the things they think other folks think they think." Elbert Hubbard.

I've joined an online community wehre I can post my writing for others to read and critique. It seems like a good idea, because it gives me some feedback from other writers. But I also wonder about putting my work out there where everyone can see it. what if someone steals my stories?
-- Posted by farmergirl.sp on Thu, Jun 23, 2011, at 5:37 AM
You have a valid concern. I'd suggest posting only a paragraph of your story or, at most, a half a page, for critique. The Internet can be a wonderful tool, but if you post an entire story online you're basically giving it to the world. Anyone could lift it, make a few changes and put their name on it. You might be able to prove that your version was posted first, but even proving it probably wouldn't bring you much satisfaction and no damages because you did, after all, put it on the Internet.

American Aloha: Hula Beyond Hawaii
by Lisette Flanary and Evann Siebens
Few American icons are as well known for their popular kitsch as the hula dance. From old Hollywood movies to entertainment for tourists, the hip-swaying girls in grass skirts and colorful lei have long masked an ancient cultural tradition. Now, after years of being shadowed by stereotypes, the hula is experiencing a rebirth that celebrates Hawaiian culture across the American mainland.

National Alliance on Mental Illness
page printed from http://www2.nami.org/
(800) 950-NAMI; firstname.lastname@example.com
Bipolar Disorder
February 29, 2008
An article from MSNBC.com takes a close look at a new study that blood tests might be used to diagnose mental illness, particularly bipolar disorder.
In a study of 29 patients with bipolar disorder, researchers measured gene activity, while also assessing high or low moods. Using this as well as other research, 10 genes were identified as being related to mood state. By determining whether the genes were active or not in the blood, researchers could predict high or low moods.
More research is needed, but such a blood test could put mental illness on par with tests for other medical conditions, says Dr. Carlos Pato, chair of the psychiatry department at the USC Medical school in Los Angeles. It could help physicians to better understand mental illness and provide the best treatments for each individual.
Ethical concerns do exist about genetic testing, involving privacy and potential stigma and discrimination. In response to an unscientific MSNBC poll of more than 10,000 readers, 83% though a blood test would be good because it would help people get treatment they need; 12% thought not, because the information could be used against them; 5% didn't know.

For lovers of Typically Swiss Hotels
"Nothing is more beautiful than Fafleralp!" This is what Charlie Chaplin, one of its most loyal guests, wrote in the guest book 50 years ago. And even today, Fafleralp remains a world of its own. The lighting in the quaint Walliserstube restaurant, for example, is powered by the hotel's own mini power plant. And to accompany the traditional Valaisan dishes served in the restaurant there are wines from the hotel's own vineyard. Fafleralp also has its own mountain guide to take hikers up into the mountains. The High Alpine location is a source of energy, enabling guests to regenerate – until their next visit to the Lötschental.

The first time I laid eyes on that little sweet girl she was being lifted to me by her left arm and left leg. I grabbed her so fast and forwent the obligatory finger and toe count...I didn't care what she had or didn't, I was just in total love. She was born at 9:15 at night, and she didn't cry. She just looked around and blinked...for hours! :o) She didn't go to sleep till 1 a.m. that day, and she and I sat there just looking at each other for almost 4 hours, no talking, no crying, just blinking. It is one of my favorite memories of my time with her. :o)
This year, I took her for some girl time (no brothers, which is rare!) to the American Girl store to pick out something for her doll (she got a doggie for Kit) and for lunch at the bistro with both our dolls (I took my old Felicity doll). I was totally surprised by how much she enjoyed it! We had lots of fun, and it makes me excited for new chances to do things like this as she gets older. It's always so hard to watch them growing so quickly, but with every year comes new experiences to celebrate. Speaking of new experiences to celebrate, this birthday was a little extra special. It was the year of the purse! She had been asking for one, so I picked her out her first "real" purse at the Vera Bradley store. I actually teared up in the store, but another mother in the store confirmed that she had done the same thing when she recently bought her daughter's first purse, so at least I have company in my silly, sentimental world.
HAPPY 7th BIRTHDAY, MY AMELIA! Your mommy loves you!

Casey Anthony civil trial postponed
Attorneys for Zenaida Gonzalez want more time
UPDATED 4:35 PM EST Nov 16, 2012
The civil trial for Casey Anthony has been postponed to the summer or fall of 2013 after a hearing Friday.
Zenaida Gonzalez's team filed the motion for postponement last week.
The attorneys said they want to make sure Anthony cannot use the Fifth Amendment to avoid their questions.
Gonzalez is suing Anthony for defamation after Anthony claimed a nanny named Zanny kidnapped her daughter.
Anthony was acquitted in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony. She was released from the Orange County Jail in the summer of 2011 and then served one year of probation in a check fraud case.

Top Definition
Verb to partake in a meal with more than one source of meat. Origination came from dining on a combination of beef and turkey - bof from boeuf and urk from turkey. But has evolved to any meal with more than one meat. The noun is bowfurkey.
Last night we bofurked on a great chicken and duck soup.

When I speak to her, I feel she really truly listens. Her deep blue eyes take in my every word. Maybe it's the look on my face that is so interesting.
All I care about is that she knows she is loved.
I watch her fall asleep so innocently and so vulnerable- there in my arms while I just stare at this sleeping beauty.
If someone stared at me while I slept I am pretty sure I would not like it.
But I cradle her and she rests. Her body completely given up to me. I can feel her surrender. The peace.
And how good this makes me feel- to know she knows I will take care of her. I will love her. And everything will be ok.
To feel her let go and let me. A lesson again my children teach me... as I am a child, too. A reminder to let go already. And just let God.

Evolution Hoax
The Signs of Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) Second Coming
Signs of Jesus' (pbuh) Second Coming
The Signs from the Islamic Resources 10
114. The Close Approach of the Markets
... The Day of Judgment will not come until the markets draw close by. (Mecmauz-zevaid, vol. 7, p. 327)
Current opportunities for shopping are now incomparably more advanced than they were in the past. Even villages and small towns have supermarkets and shopping centers in which people can shop at will. In addition, improved methods of transportation allow them to shop in previously inaccessible places.
The Internet has opened up even more opportunities for shopping. While sitting at home, people can buy whatever they want from anyplace in the world. Looked at in these terms, it is as if the markets were actually in peoples' homes.
115. Speaking by Means of the Whip
The Last Hour will not come before the end of a man's whip speaks to him. (Tirmidhi)
In ancient times, the whip was widely used while riding saddle beasts, especially camels and horses. In this hadith, the Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) is making a comparison. Thus, "what speaking object can we compare to the shape of a whip?" The most likely answer would be a cell phone or similar communication devices. Such wireless communication devices as cell phones and satellite phones are very recent developments, and are more indications that the Judgment Day is drawing near.
116. The Speaking of One's Own Voice
There will be no Judgment... until a person's own voice speaks to him. (Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 471)
The message here is quite clear: a person's hearing his own voice is a characteristic of the End Times. For this to become a reality, one's voice first has to be recorded. Such recording and reproduction technology was developed during the twentieth century. This turning point in the advancement of science enabled the birth of the communications and media industries. Voice recording has now reached its apogee via the latest developments in computer and laser technology.
In short, such electronic devices as microphones and speakers have made it possible to record and listen to a person's voice, and thus have fulfilled the above hadith.
117. A Hand from the Firmament
The sign of that day: A hand will be extended from the sky, and people will look and see it. (Ibn Hajar Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Aalamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 53)
The sign of that day is a hand extended in the sky and people stopping to look at it. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi `Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 69)
In these hadiths, the Arabic word for "hand" is yad. This word also has other meanings, such as "power, force, strength, and means." These hadiths probably use yad in these senses.
The idea of a "power, force, strength, or means" extending from the sky and looked upon by people might not have made much sense in the past. However, in our own time, it sheds considerable light on the television, camera, and computer, which have become indispensable parts of modern life. In other words, the "hand" is used in the sense of "force," thereby clearly pointing to television broadcasting in the form of pictures coming down from the sky in waves.
Some other relevant hadiths are very interesting:
A voice will call him by name … and even people in the east and west will hear it. (Ibn Hajar Haythami, Al Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, pp. 54-55)
This voice will spread over the entire world, and every tribe will hear it in their own language. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi `Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 51)
A voice from the sky that everyone will hear in his own language. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi `Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir al-zaman, p. 37)
Evidently, this refers to radio, television, and other such methods of modern communication. This miracle, unimaginable 1,400 years ago, only became a reality a little over 100 years ago.
When Bediuzzaman Said Nursi interpreted these hadiths, he explained that they miraculously foretold the advent of radio, television, and other such communication devices.60
118. Increased Productivity
People will reap 700 measures of wheat for every one they sow… People will throw down a few handfuls of seeds and reap 700 handfuls… Although much rain will fall, none will be wasted. (Ibn Hajar Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 43)
The Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) provided many other details of the technological advances that will accompany the End Times, such as the move toward modern agricultural techniques, the development of new production methods, seed improvement research, and increasing production as a result of the better use of rainwater by building new dams and artificial lakes.
Today, technology is advancing rapidly, and the quality and quantity of products are constantly increasing. This rapid development, particularly in genetics, is creating a revolution in agricultural and other types of technology.
119. The Greening of the Deserts
The Day of Judgment will not come until there are rivers and gardens in Arabia. (Ibn Ahmad Hanbal, Musnad, vol. 17, p. 22, no. 8819)
The Day of Judgment will not come until there are rivers and streams in Arabia. (Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 471)
Another technological development pointing to the abundance available during the End Times is the greening of the deserts. If we consider that 43 percent of the Earth's land surface is comprised of deserts, then we can easier understand the importance of agricultural technology. Production now can be carried out even on the driest soil, as water is brought to infertile deserts. If this advanced technology is implemented in all deserts, then many countries on the brink of starvation will acquire productive lands. This, of course, requires considerable technology.
To green the deserts, sufficient amounts of water and land must be obtained. One relevant technology now being developed is computer-controlled irrigation. This enables water to be sent directly to the plant's roots so that not a single drop is wasted. Given that purified water is a crucial element of desert agriculture, flood and sea water forms the basis of agricultural technology. In this way, vast water resources will be obtained, a development that also will be a major support of countries' economies. Our Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) also indicated the very productive use of water:
Both the Ummah's good and wicked members will be blessed with a blessing, the like of which they have never seen before. Despite the abundance of rain, not a drop will go to waste. The land will grow fruitful and fertile, without demanding a single seed... (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 23)
120. Increased Life Expectancy
At that time... life spans will grow longer. (Ibn Hajar Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 43)
Fourteen centuries have passed since the Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) said these words. Records clearly show that the average life expectancy is now the highest in history. There was already a great difference between the beginning and the end of the twentieth century. For example, a person born in 1995 can expect to live more than 35 years longer than a person born in 1900.61 Another striking example is that in the past, people rarely lived for a 100 years; today, many people reach that age.
According to the United Nations Department of National Population, over the past few years the world's population has continued on its remarkable transition from high birth and death rates to one of low birth and death rates. As a result, we have seen an increased number and proportion of older people. Such a rapid, large, and pervasive increase is unique to our own time.62
One cause for this increase in life expectancy has been the development of health services due to the advance of medical technology. In addition, developments in genetics and the rapidly advancing Human Genome Project are on the verge of ushering in a totally new era in the field of health. No one living in the past could have imagined such profound advances. Based on all of these developments, we can say that people living in our time have reached the long and healthy life described in the above hadith. And, this standard apparently will rise even higher in the near future.
121. The Appearance of False Messiahs
The Hour will not be established until about thirty Dajjals [liars] appear, and each one of them will claim that he is God's Apostle… (Sahih Bukhari)
Those who are unwilling to prepare the coming of this worthy Messenger may be hoping to encourage believers towards slackness by seeking to portray such preparations as unnecessary. One of their ruses will involve the appearance of false messiahs. From time to time, those who were not of sound mind or who had various personal agendas have claimed to be Prophet Jesus (pbuh). Some groups have sought to use such people's ignorance for their own ends, such as by saying, in effect, "Declarations that Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will come have led to the emergence of false messiahs." Such statements are designed to slow down or even end these necessary preparations. However, God will allow nobody to delay this sacred time, which He has promised. In fact, the appearance of false messiahs is a portent, the glad tidings, of the coming of Prophet Jesus (pbuh).
The appearance of 60 liars, each of whom claims that God, the One God, has sent them as a prophet. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi 'Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 36)
The above hadiths remind us of developments in our own day. By taking advantage of the hopes of Muslims and Christians, various deceivers have claimed prophethood and, at times, have caused great suffering.
Experts have noted that the number of so-called messiahs began to proliferate in the 1970s and continue to rise. According to these experts, there are two basic reasons for this increase: the collapse of communism and the possibilities afforded by Internet technology.63
The following excerpts will give us a better understanding of this phenomenon:
The Qur'an also points to the advent of false prophets, as follows:
Who could do greater wrong than someone who invents lies against God or denies His Signs, or who says: "It has been revealed to me," when nothing has been revealed to him, or someone who says: "I will send down the same as God has sent down?" If you could only see the wrongdoers in the throes of death when the angels are stretching out their hands, saying: "Disgorge your own selves! Today you will be repaid with the punishment of humiliation for saying something other than the truth about God, and [for] being arrogant about His Signs." (Surat al-An`am, 6:93)
These people, who may have committed the sin described in the verse, will surely receive their recompense for their lies.
The days when the lies of all false prophets will be eradicated are close, for our Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) announced that, after the liars have gone, Prophet Jesus (pbuh) would return.
True believers will recognize Prophet Jesus (pbuh) from the portents. Each of his deeds will be wise and inimitable, and these portents will set him apart from other people and make him immediately recognizable. No proof will be needed. The efforts of all false messiahs to prove themselves is the clearest indication of their falsity.
Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) actions will prove his identity. He will defeat all atheistic movements and other systems that attempt to spread the denial of God and immorality, use God's revelation to defeat with great ease the snares of the deniers, spread the religion's moral values among people, and negate the efforts of the ungodly. His miracles will prove that God's religion is the true way and that believers will inevitably prevail. In the Qur'an, our Lord gives these glad tidings to believers:
They desire to extinguish God's Light with their mouths, but God will perfect His Light, though the disbelievers hate it. It is He Who sent His Messenger with guidance and the Religion of Truth to exalt it over every other religion, though the associators hate it. (Surat as-Saff, 61:8-9)

☆ Pandaman Hide-and-Seek ☆
∞ Official Thread ∞
☆ Who or what is is Pandaman ☆
Pandaman's appearance is that of muscle bounded figure with a panda face for a head. On it is the word Panda written across his forehead. Whether this is a mask or his real face remains to be seen. His arms are black with bamboo tattoos. On his chest are two heart tattoos. In the series, his appearance would often differ from scene to scene. In one scene, he could be seen as a skinny individual with no black arms or tattoos at all. This is apparently because in order to be properly hidden in some scenes and such, Pandaman's body features require to be less detailed. The only thing that remains constant however is his panda head.
Throughout the series he appears along the crowds and backgrounds everywhere and anytime as an easter egg character. He can be found posing as a citizen, a pirate, a Government agent, and many others. He can even be found in flashbacks, even a 400 year old flashback.
☆ History of Pandaman ☆
Pandaman was originally created by Oda for a character design contest called the "New Super Human Contest". This contest allowed artists to submit character designs for wrestlers to be included in the popular anime and manga series Kinnikuman. In December 16, 1998, the comic in which these designs would be included, "Kinnikuman 77 no Nazo", was released and Pandaman was listed as entry number 12.
When Oda wrote One Piece he decided to include Pandaman as a hidden character along with a little more information. According to Oda, Pandaman is a man of unknown age who originated from Tibet with the mortal blow techniques: S.P.D, Bamboo Leaves Panda Drop, and Giant Panda Deathstock. He was abandoned in a bamboo thicket as an infant and was raised by Giant Pandas. Pandaman would often say that he had seen Kaguyahime. However as no one would believe him, he was often picked on. Since then, Pandaman resolved to become a strong demon superhero. Apparently at some point in time, Pandaman used to be a rich guy living on a certain island until he got into some trouble. Pandaman apparently owed a large sum of money. Since then, the debt collector, Tomato Gang, has been chasing Pandaman in order to collect his debt. Tomato Gang also hired Pandaman's rival Unforgivable Mask to catch him.
Pandaman made his first appearance in the chapter where Gin first showed up in the Baratie. He was later revealed and identified by Oda in one of the SBS questions of the next volume. In the anime, Pandaman made his first appearance in an actual episode in an earlier scene amongst the Black Cat Pirates. Since his first appearance he has been in every arc, with exception of the Amazon Lily arc, where Pandawoman replaced him due to the circumstances surrounding the arc.
Oda later confirmed in SBS form that Pandaman is in love with Pandawoman, however its currently unknown if the feelings are reciprocated.
☆ Purpose of this thread ☆
Pandaman is a joke character created by the author, Eiichiro Oda. He is, so far, the most notable of Oda's joke characters, having appeared hidden in nearly every One Piece chapter, episode, movie, and such.:p
It's the point of this thread to find Pandaman every week in the most recent chapter and to post it here ^x^
If you found Pandaman in a previous chapter you can also post it and I will add it to the Pandaman Archive
☆ Rules ☆

"I'm not going to lie. I've never ridden bareback on a horse, let alone without pants, so that was new," James Van Der Beek – referring to Tuesday's special Sexiest Man Alive episode of his ABC sitcom Don't Trust the B–– in Apt. 23 – told PEOPLE at Tuesday's GQ magazine's 2012 Men of the Year Party, held at Hollywood's Chateau Marmont.
The episode, in which Van Der Beek ends up as PEOPLE's sexy cover guy after a prank is pulled on the magazine staff by the character Chloe (Krysten Ritter), featured a photo layout of the actor wearing only a shirt as he rides a horse.
"One shower later, it all was good," said the real Van Der Beek.
As the camera captured the moment, the actor's wife Kimberly watched the nearly naked shoot – and described it as "surreal."
As for the photo subject himself, Van Der Beek, 35, said: "It was a lot of fun to do something that is tied to something so culturally relevant. "And just to ... drag PEOPLE into our own demented world on the show, and have you guys be such great sports about it, was a lot of fun."
So did his wife find it at all sexy, a nude ride on horseback? Not exactly, she said. She was more worried about his safety.
"I don't how sexy it is when there's, like, 30 people around," said Kimberly. "You have to be careful about how you're getting on that horse! I was more concerned."

I'm not going to blog on it. No, I'm not.
What is the point of blogging on it when there is a new blog on The Language of Food by Dan Jurafsky, which has already done the deed in brilliant historical detail with pretty pictures of menus?
And I'm still on a diet. So I refuse. Enjoy Dan's post and please don't taunt me in the comments with mention of anything that's more than 150 calories.

In Australia an entrée is definitely what you eat before your main meal and is usually more of an appetiser.
I never realised that it referred to the main meal in other places... I would have probably been wondering why all the appetisers (entrées to me) were so large.

I recently visited the US from Britain and was confused to find separate columns for Starters and Entrees - I don't often see entree written in the UK, but when it's there it means starter...
If nothing else, it looks like "enter", so should mean something as an entry to the rest of the meal i.e. a starter or appetiser

NZE is with the Ozzies and the French on this. An entree is a starter - what you have before the main meal.
My mother invariably orders two entrees; one as a starter and the second as a main.
Depending on the restaurant, you might see appetiser, entree or starter used, all meaning the same thing. Most frequently used, however, is certainly entree.

The Talbot Center is doing their Christmas Party on Saturday night at 8:00 PM. Mark Stevens asked if we could give a them a curling lesson. Looks like about 14 people now for 90 minutes.
So far I have Rick, Travis and Joanne available (thank you very much). Could use a couple more, if anyone is free. It would be a nice way to thank them for their hard work getting the ice ready and our dehumidifier repaired.
Don't forget everyone that the Mid-Atlantic starts tomorrow. We need plenty of volunteers for what I am sure will be a fantastic event. Curling starts midday tomorrow. Sandy Bemis is running the show. Come on down and I am sure there will be something we could use some help with.
Good luck to everyone who is curling.
We are looking for help moving the curling stones and new scraper blade on Saturday morning at 11:00 AM. We need to pull them from storage and put them out in the arena to cool down. 6 people would do it, but the more we get the faster and easier.
Thanks and have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
We will be participating in the Easton Christmas parade the evening of Saturday, December 1st to raise awareness of our club. We have a trailer and need to decorate it during the day on Saturday for the parade later that evening. Also need folks to ride on the trailer and walk along beside it handing out flyers and candy.
If you can participate in either the decorating or the parade (or both), please contact Matt O'Shea at email@example.com
Ideas and contributions of materials are also welcome!
Attention CCC Members: The decoy auction party is tomorrow night and we still need volunteers to help and/or bring food.
We are also looking for a toaster oven to borrow for that evening.
Food prep and serving: We have 6 people signed up to help but need about 6 more. If you can help try to be at the rink by 6:00 or earlier.
Appetizers: 11 have signed up to bring food (some more than one dish) We could use more. Food can be brought to the rink any time after 4:30.

Dear Car Coach: I was driving down the highway behind a truck full of gravel, and a piece flew off and nicked my window. I definitely don't have money for a new windshield, and right now the damage is just a small little divot in the glass. What can I do to ensure that this won't spread into a full-blown crack? – S.A.
Dear S.A.: You've seen the guys in the mall asking you if have a chip in your glass. Now you can buy a repair kit in stores for about $10 and repair it yourself. Don't wait or it may turn to a crack and then you're done. If you have glass coverage on your auto insurance, a chip can be repaired for free and if it does turn to a crack they can replace the windshield. Believe it or not the windshield is an integral part of your safety and is an essential part of your car's overall structural integrity which is why you should have it repaired or replaced as soon as you discover any damage. The windshield keeps the roof from crushing in on you in a rollover, it allows the airbags to deploy in the correct position to cushion passengers, and prevents you and your family from being ejected in a serious collision. It's important to your family's safety that the auto glass in your vehicle be installed properly.
When you do get the windshield repaired or replaced, look for a yellow AGRSS decal or sign. The Auto Glass Safety Council is an accredited American National Standards Institute standards development organization. The council was founded and is supported by auto glass companies and other organizations that keep vehicle safety as their primary goal.
Dear Car Coach: How does a driver know when it's time to go shopping for new tires? – B.R.
Dear B.R.: It's important to check your tire pressure once a month, at the same time you should visually inspect the tires. If they appear to be worn unevenly and one side is bald or looks dramatically different from the other side of the tire, you will need new tires. This is also a sign of a misalignment of the wheels. Another way to tell if you need new tires is the quarter test; just take a quarter and place Washington's head directly into the tread. If you can see the top of his head, in at least one location, you need new tires.
Dear Car Coach: What is extended life coolant? When I bought my new car, the sales guy told me I never had to worry about it. I've had the car a few years now. Can you tell me? – P.T.
Dear P.T.: No fluids are good forever and all cars will require some form of maintenance to the nine fluids used in all automobiles. Extended life antifreeze/coolants use organic acid technology (OAT) to improve long-term corrosion protection. They generally carry a five-year or 150,000 mile cooling system warranty depending on the auto manufacturer. If a vehicle comes with extended life antifreeze/coolant, continue using it to maintain the extended life protection. For example, many General Motors vehicles are factory-filled with OAT antifreeze/coolant, so consumers who drive these vehicles should continue to use an extended life antifreeze/coolant that meets GM DEX-COOL® specifications. If you need to top off any radiator, you can also purchase an extended life 5/150 Antifreeze/Coolant at any auto parts store or mass merchandiser. Read the labels and look for a brand that will work with your car.
If you don't have long-life coolant or are not sure, you should have your coolant/antifreeze checked every six months and changed every one to two years, depending on the vehicle's recommended change intervals and on driving conditions. As many do it yourselfers (DIYers) know, the more stop and go and extreme the driving conditions are, the more frequently antifreeze needs to be checked, topped off and possibly changed. Of course, for new vehicles under warranty you should always follow your owner's manual recommendations.
Dear Car Coach: Are there any common household items that can be used to clean my car? – H.F.
Dear H.F.: Never use home cleaning products on your car. Use car products. There are few exceptions. Glass cleaner and old newspaper are a great way to clean glass. Use a vacuum to clean the carpets, but never use home interior cleaner in a car as it can take the color out of plastics, destroy the carpet and take labeling off controls. As for the paint, NEVER use dish soap as it strips the waxes and dulls the paint.

Former South Lake Tahoe City Councilman Ted Long has released a video of the August raid of Gino DiMatteo's home in hopes of showing people authorities have been overzealous in their pursuit of the former medical marijuana dispensary owner.
The video, shot across the street from DiMatteo's house, shows numerous SWAT team members surrounding and entering the home. One of the law enforcement officers can be seen throwing a stun grenade into the home's front hallway.
The video can be found at http://tinyurl.com/DimatteoRaid.
"I'm just hoping to show people that this is out of control," Long said. "This could be your house. This could be you."
DiMatteo was arrested Aug. 31. El Dorado County prosecutors have charged him with felony counts of bribery, possession of marijuana for sale, possession of a controlled substance and possession of ammunition by a convicted felon. He has pleaded not guilty.
The bribery investigation centers around a donation DiMatteo made to Lake Tahoe Educational Foundation, which includes South Lake Tahoe City Councilwoman Angela Swanson as a board member. DiMatteo was asking the City Council to approve a relocation of City of Angels at the time of the donation. Prosecutors have not returned requests for comment regarding the case.
Long called the charge unusual because the public official involved in the allegations has not been charged with a crime.
"It's just a strange case," Long said. "I've never seen a bribery case where they don't arrest the official."
Long said he believes Swanson is innocent and will not be charged.
The attorney also said he feels prosecutors are pursuing DiMatteo aggressively for his operation of the City of Angels 2 medical marijuana dispensary.
Typically in cases of white-collar crime, suspects are notified of the charges against them and are given two or three days to surrender, Long said. DiMatteo was already in custody at the time of the raid on his home, Long added.
DiMatteo's criminal defense attorney Robert Woelfel was in El Dorado County Superior Court in Placerville Tuesday arguing for the District Attorney's Office to release evidence in the case, Long said.
"Right now we've seen zero evidence," Long said. "Why the secrecy? That's what's confusing about it."
Long said he expected to file civil claims in federal court this week regarding the council's denial of DiMatteo's request to move City of Angels 2 and damage caused during the raid of DiMatteo's home.
He estimated the raid caused $20,000 to $30,000 in damage, including holes in the roof and a broken garage door.
Woelfel and Deputy District Attorney James Clinchard, the prosecutor in the case, did not immediately return requests for comment on the case Tuesday.

Comments about this product:
I found Jupiter my first few hours out. Had a clear view of the planet and four of it's moons. BUT had to hold a hand on the mount to keep everything in view.
Other than the weak mount I love the little thing.
The tripod is hefty and holds the telescope without vibrations. But, the azimuth clutches are weak and will not hold the scope in some angles. I tried to slide the scope in it's mounting to balance it better , but little luck in doing that. Needs a geared mount.
This is an excellent scope and needs the details dialed in just a little more.

The federal government is weighing whether to permanently relocate residents from about a half-dozen contaminated Water Street homes in the City of Lockport because of the contamination of Eighteenmile Creek.
That did not seem likely as recently as last month when more than 75 city residents jammed a public forum and heard U.S. Environmental Protection Agency officials discount the suggestion despite ardent pleas from many residents of this narrow, secluded road hugging the contaminated creek and others who live in the city's historic Lowertown neighborhood.
"Permanent relocation is something we are looking at at the current time," said Michael Basile, the local community involvement coordinator for the EPA.
Basile said a proposed remedial action plan will likely be released in early August.
Following five inches of rain June 28, Eighteenmile Creek – with its toxic stew of PCBs, heavy metals and other hazardous materials – overflowed its banks into nearby properties. Residents then renewed demands for a federally funded relocation.
"Getting people out" has turned into a mission for James Stiles, a Water Street resident whose backyard became a three-foot-deep lake and an extension of Eighteenmile Creek during the storm.
"It would be way cheaper for them just to relocate us and save people from potentially more harmful, poisonous materials," said Stiles, who lives in the home with his 3-year-old son. "That creek gets flooded every single year onto my property and into my basement."
Stiles and others on Water Street object to the EPA's suggestion of "capping" the contaminated yards of Water Street residents with clean fill as a way to serve as an immediate, albeit temporary, remedy.
That fill, residents believe, would only get recontaminated the next time the creek overflows, rendering a proposed $1.2 million project a waste of money.
Homes on the street are roughly valued at about $40,000.
"I don't know why they'd even consider that option," said David Pettigrew II of Water Street. "It's like putting a Band-Aid on something that needs to be stitched."
Shirley Nichols, a neighborhood activist who is fighting to get help for Water Street and other parts of Lowertown affected by toxic contamination, said buying out homeowners, even at $50,000 per property, would amount to a $250,000 bill compared with $1.2 million.
"You can come in there and rip it all down and get it right the first time. It makes common sense," said Nichols. "With this flooding and whatnot, all their cellars are contaminated. What are you going to do with that?"
Pettigrew, the father of a newborn son, fears for his child's safety living in a house surrounded by contamination.
"I'm not going to be able to stay here once my child is old enough to go out and play. I'm not going to let my child get sick from this," said Pettigrew, who favors relocation.
Across the street, Pettigrew's mother-in-law, Kristina Morrison, shares the sentiment but finds any of the options heartbreaking.
"It's a bittersweet answer," Morrison said about a possible relocation.
Morrison bought her home on Water Street in 2001 for $36,900. A year later, she said, she received a letter notifying her the pastoral-looking ground around her house, which runs to the western edge of Eighteenmile Creek, was toxic. She said she was warned not to walk barefoot in her yard and instructed not to grow a garden there.
"I haven't planted anything," Morrison said. "Nothing grows here anyways."
Even so, it's her home – one that she picked, ironically, because of what she called a "beautiful," private, quiet location near the creek. Morrison raised her children there and has spent thousands updating the home, including installing a new roof, windows, furnace and hot water tank.
Setting aside those emotional ties, Morrison said she has some practical concerns.
"I bought this house making $8.50 per hour. I bought what I could afford," Morrison said. "Yes, I would love to relocate. My concern is, where are you going to relocate me that I can afford on my income?"
"Either way, it's not going to be a good situation."
During the recent storm, Morrison watched the creek waters seize her expansive backyard, creeping to within several yards of the rear of her home.
Simultaneously, sewer water rushed down Water Street from the other direction toward her home after pressure in the system blew the caps off the mains in the street. Pavement was washed clear off the street.
"The whole crawl space under the house flooded. My whole foundation is completely cracked," Morrison said. "The whole yard is completely contaminated."
Added Pettigrew: "You couldn't tell where the creek started and where the yard started."
Morrison returned to her home the next day and discovered she had neither gas service nor a working furnace.
"We have no other choice; we have nowhere to go," she said.
Basile said the EPA recognizes time is of the essence for many in the neighborhood. That's why since the area was added to the federal Superfund list last year, the agency has been working expeditiously on a proposed remedial action plan.
Once that plan is in place early next month, a 30-day public comment period officially begins. Then, any necessary revisions or alternatives will be made to the plan to "effectively meet the objectives of the Superfund program," Basile said.
"The public will have an opportunity at an open public meeting to agree with us or disagree with us," said Basile.
It is unclear in which direction the EPA recommendations seem to be headed. EPA officials, Basile said, are still formulating the plan, but he said permanent relocation will "definitely be one of the proposed alternatives."
"We listen to the residents," Basile said.

Not everyone appeared to be a "Belieber" on Sunday night.
In what was uncharted territory for the pop superstar – at industry award shows if not his concerts – Justin Bieber heard a chorus of boos as accepted the fan-voted milestone award at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas.
"I'm 19 years old," he told the crowd in accepting the final award of the night. "I think I'm doing a pretty good job."
Those in the crowd said the negative response to Bieber was even louder in the arena than it sounded on television.
"This is not a gimmick," he went on to say, in what sounded like an agitated tone. "I'm an artist, and I should be taken seriously. This other bull should not be spoken of."
After the show, LMFAO's SkyBlu came to his defense, asking reporters, "Does a day go by you don't hear Justin Bieber's name? You've got to give him respect for that."
The night wasn't all bad for Bieber, though, as he also took home the top male artist award as well.
He also performed twice, singing "Take You" from his 2012 album Believe and later taking stage with Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.i.am for their collaboration "#thatPOWER."
