BLM Seeks Nominees for California Desert Advisory Council
The Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) California Desert District is soliciting nominations from the public for six members of its California Desert District Advisory Council to serve a three-year term. The council's 15 members provide advice and recommendations to the BLM on the management of 11 million acres (17 thousand square miles) of public lands in eight counties of Southern California.
The council meets in formal session three to four times each year in various locations throughout the California Desert District. Council members serve without compensation. Members serve three-year terms and may be nominated for reappointment for an additional three-year term. The secretary selects council nominees consistent with the requirements of Federal Land Policy and Management Act and the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), which require nominees appointed to the council be balanced in terms of points of view and representative of the various interests concerned with the management of the public lands within the area for which the council is established.
Nominations will be accepted through March 5, 2012. The three-year term would begin immediately upon confirmation by the secretary. The six positions to be filled include one representative of transportation/rights-of-way groups or organizations, one elected official, one representative of renewable energy groups or organizations, one representative of non-renewable resources groups or organizations, one representative of environmental protection groups or organizations, and one representative of the public-at-large.
Any group or individual may nominate a qualified person based upon education, training, and knowledge of the BLM, the California Desert, and the issues involving BLM-administered public lands throughout Southern California. Qualified individuals also may nominate themselves. The nomination form is on the Desert Advisory Council webpage: http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/info/rac/dac.html. Nominations must include letters of support.
Advisory Council members are appointed by the secretary, and will be evaluated based on their education, training, and knowledge of the BLM, the California Desert District, and the issues involving BLM-administered public lands. The Obama Administration prohibits individuals who are currently federally registered lobbyists to serve on any FACA and non-FACA boards, committees, or councils.
Nominations should be sent to Teresa A. Raml, District Manager, BLM California Desert District, 22835 Calle San Juan De Los Lagos, Moreno Valley, CA 92553. For further information, please contact David Briery, BLM California Desert District External Affairs, (951) 697-5220 or email@example.com.

DEARBORN, MI -- A local animal shelter is trying out a new social media-focused method of getting the word out about pets in need of adoption.
The Dearborn Animal Shelter is launching an effort it calls "iFoster," in which volunteers are provided photos and information about individual pets to share via social media.
"This is a great way for someone to get involved that doesn't have time during the day to volunteer at the Shelter or the ability to adopt or foster an animal in their home," said Elaine Greene, executive director of the Friends For the Dearborn Animal Shelter.
"All we are asking is for them to use their keyboard to share about the adoptable pet."
The shelter is also offering reduced adoption fees through Aug. 31.
For more information, email firstname.lastname@example.com, call 313-943-2697 or visit www.DearbornAnimals.org.

L. K. Townsley, E. D. Feigelson, P. S. Broos (PSU), Y.-H. Chu (UIUC), T. Montmerle (Centre d'Etudes de Saclay)
We present the first high-spatial-resolution X-ray images of the Rosette Nebula and Rosette Molecular Cloud (RMC), obtained in a series of 4 20-ksec snapshots with the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer aboard the Chandra X-ray Observatory in January 2001. These images form a striking 1-degree X-ray panorama of a rich high-mass star formation region. The OB association is resolved at the arcsecond level into >300 sources. The other 3 pointings step across the RMC, with >100 X-ray sources in each. Soft diffuse emission is seen at the center of the H~II region and is resolved from the point source population. This extended emission is most likely from the fast O-star winds, which thermalize and shock the surrounding media.
Support for this effort was provided by the Chandra X-ray Observatory GO2 grant G01-2008X.

The page protectors that are compatible with this album are:
Universal 12 x 12 Page Protectors
I am historian for my club chapter and this album is perfect for my job. I put a copy of the chapter flag in the picture pocket on the front, and not only does it hold the picture securely, it looks GREAT! And I have pictures and stories about our monthly functions and the scrapbook makes it so easy to arrange the pages in the order that I want. (Of course, I use archival plastic sheets for each page to further protect everything.) I would certainly recommend these albums!
Thank you, MaryAnn VanVeen, Broken Arrow, OK
I already have one album just like this and have been looking for another one. Luckily I found it on Scrapbook.com. I am using it for my son's junior high sports. Good quality and easy to add and take away pages.
This is the second album by American Crafts that I have, just different colors & I love them, no problems with adding pages & so easy to use.
Album is a nice shade of red, Cardinal. It seems to be sturdy and holds a lot.

Heartbreak for Wildcat football in key Kingco game
Mount Si's football team gave it everything they had in their big Kingco 3A game last Friday, October 15, against the Juanita Rebels. Unfortunately for the Wildcats, however, the Rebels made the critical plays when they needed to and handed Mount Si a heartbreaking loss.
A touchdown with under two minutes remaining by Charles Benjamin gave Juanita the lead after the Wildcats had been in front the entire contest and Mount Si fell 18-17. Joe Farmer scored two touchdowns to lead the Wildcats.
Mount Si opened with a strong defensive stand to stop Juanita's opening possession, then the Wildcats marched down the field methodically on their first offensive series. It resulted in Cameron Van Winkle kicking a 43-yard field goal to put Mount Si up 3-0 with just seconds left in the opening frame.
The Wildcats then converted an onside kick to keep the ball and the resulting possession was finished off in the second quarter with the first of the two Farmer touchdowns. Both scores were on pass receptions from QB Ian Ilgenfritz. This first one was on a two-yard hook which landed in Farmer's hands in the back of the end zone to help extend the Mount Si lead to 10-0, which was how the game went into halftime. "We knew that we had to steal a couple possessions, so we had confidence in our defense early on and so we were able to get a field goal right away, then we opened with that onside kick," Wildcats coach Charlie Kinnune said.
Ilgenfritz and Farmer connected again for the second time early in the third quarter; Ilgenfritz found his senior tight end wide open in the end zone behind the Juanita defense. The pass was for six yards and it propelled the Wildcat lead to 17-0.
Late in the third, the Rebels finally got on the scoreboard. After a big run by quarterback Derek Kaufman put Juanita deep into Mount Si territory, he finished it off with a six-yard scamper into the end zone, narrowing the score to 17-6 going to the final quarter.
Just seconds into the fourth, the Rebels struck again, this time in the air. Kaufman threw a 53-yard pass to Austin Hilliker and the receiver took the ball into the end zone for another Juanita touchdown which put them in business down 17-12.
It looked like Mount Si would seal the game up, but later in the quarter, on a third down just inside Rebel territory at the 43-yard line, Bankston appeared as if he was going to get a first down on a rushing play, but Juanita's defense forced the Wildcat senior to fumble the ball. Mount Si recovered it, but it was short of the first down marker, making the next play a fourth down, and the team was forced to punt the ball away. "If we would have gotten that first down, we would have won the game. Plain and simple," Kinnune said. It was on the resulting Rebel possession that Benjamin scored what turned out to be the game-winning touchdown. The Wildcats had one last chance, but they weren't able to muster the comeback.
Mount Si plays at Bellevue next Friday at 7 p.m. Wildcat RB Aladdin Schirmer expects another gutsy effort.
"Fans can expect us to leave it on the field," the senior said.

Go here [[Pokemon Teams]] than ask the captain if you can join the team it's that e-z! User:Amyroselove
If you mean Pokemon Teams, I only help the teams, I don't belong to a team. Right now we only have one opening, Electric Team, all of the others are full. Crimsonnavy (Talk·Contributions) 19:48, February 23, 2011 (UTC)
- Just add the Electric Members template to your user page and I can take care of the rest. Crimsonnavy (Talk·Contributions)
- It should make a box on your user page, if you want I can fix it for you. Crimsonnavy (Talk·Contributions) 20:00, February 23, 2011 (UTC)
Done, to use a template, make sure that the {{ and }} are facing each other and that text is in the normal format. Crimsonnavy (Talk·Contributions) 20:06, February 23, 2011 (UTC)
Hey SweetSophie19, this is Knight of White Fire 23:01, February 23, 2011 (UTC) returning your message. I'll face you sometime on Battle Revolution, but probably on the weekend. I've got a lot of schoolwork to do during the week. Oh, and thanks for the comment on the pokemon sprites, and yes we can be friends. After all, you know what they say: the more the merrier! Knight of White Fire 23:01, February 23, 2011 (UTC)
Oh right, my Friend Code for BR is 1721-2090-4172. I'll see you soon! Knight of White Fire 23:06, February 23, 2011 (UTC)
Hey SweetSophie19, it's Knight of White Fire here. Anyway, Saturday or Sunday is good, although it might have to be around night time though: I've got work tomorrow, and I've got a take-home mid-term exam. Anyway, I also have a team of level 100's, and I can't wait to do battle either!
P.S., My favorite Gym Leader so far would probably be Volkner. His electric pokemon are pretty cool. By the way, who's your favorite Elite 4 member and Champion. Mine would probably be Drake of the Hoenn Elite 4, and Cynthia the Sinnoh Champion. Drake has awesome dragons, and Cynthia is an awesome champion since she really doesn't limit herself to one main type of pokemon like most champions.
Anyway, I hope to see you soon, Knight of White Fire 02:19, February 26, 2011 (UTC)
I agree with the idea for Koga, although it's his Crobat for me. I kept getting ticked when it kept using fly, so I made my Lugia use Fly in response. My friend in Texas got in a real rage cuz of that, but then he remembered he taught his Lugia Thunder.
Anyway, back to the other question: I like Pokemon Yellow, Gold, Crystal, Sapphire, Diamond, Platinum, Soul Silver, XD Gale of Darkness, Battle Revolution, and Pokemon Ranger Guardian Signs. However, If you're talking about the main handheld console games, then the games would be the first 7 on my list.
One more question: If you could choose between 5 legendary pokemon (including Generation V), Who would be you top 5? Mine would be this:
- Reshiram
- Dialga
- Shaymin
- Jirachi
- Raikou
Just go to http://www.arkeis.com/animatedsprites.html and you should be able to find all of the animated sprites, plus they have a download for all 649 sprites plus some alternate forms near the bottom of the page. By the way, I'm on wi-fi for BR right now. Knight of White Fire 02:10, February 27, 2011 (UTC)
Sure, why not! I'll make yours shortly! Bullet Francisco 21:12, February 27, 2011 (UTC)
No Problem. :) Bullet Francisco 21:22, February 27, 2011 (UTC)
[[File:Giratina.gif|thumb]][[File:Imfernape.gif|thumb]][[File:Kyogre.gif|thumb]][[File:Blaziken.gif|thumb]][[File:Manaphy.gif|thumb]][[File:Suicune.gif|thumb]][[File:487_o.gif|thumb]]Okay, Here are the sprites. I hope you like 'em, and I'll see you on BR tonight! Knight of White Fire 23:32, February 27, 2011 (UTC)
Yep! I'll Head on right now!
Wow! That's an awesome drawing of Cynthia! I'll send you some drawings that I've done of the Unova starters tomorrow: I don't know how to work my dad's scanner, and he's asleep right now... I basically just look at the picture, and I can draw it out (DISCLAIMER: I NEVER TRACE, even though it may look like the original at times) So far I have all base form pokemon all the way up to Blitzle, but Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott are the only ones colored in. Oh and to answer your question from earlier, I'd have to say the first set of clothes as well since he never needed a badge case back then. Oh, and just out of curiosity, who was your favorite character traveling with Ash in all his journies(Including the Unova saga, but not any Pokemon, just people)? Knight of White Fire 03:49, February 28, 2011 (UTC)
You're an awesome battler 8-)
No way, Zoroark?! That's one of my favorite pokemon! Thanks! Take all the time you need with it, after all good art does take time. Anyway to answer my own question, I'd probably have to say Dawn. She has some awesome pokemon on her team, and I personally think she's the coolest person traveling with Ash so far. Plus she had one of my favorite starters: Cyndaquil (though it's a Quilava now). I'll scan my drawings pretty soon! Knight of White Fire 04:35, February 28, 2011 (UTC)
Hey, here are two pages of pics I've drawn. (DISCLAIMER: I do not consider this my own work, the images were provided by the real artist, I just draw from the image!) I hope you like them: It's the three Unova starters in color and their first evolutions in black and white.

Oh I almost forgot, That's an awesome sir aaron and lucario. P.S., it's like you knew that was one of my favorite pokemon movies of all time! pretty awesome! Knight of White Fire 20:56, February 28, 2011 (UTC)
Sorry, I can't: I'm busy with a project for my drawing class tomorrow, and I really need to get it done. I'm sorry... Knight of White Fire 01:45, March 1, 2011 (UTC)
I gotta admit: That's an awesome Zoroark. I'm actually in the middle of making a zorua and zorark sketch now, and I've colored in Servine, Pignite, and Dewott. Oh, and I'm finished with my project so I can do BR tonight if you aren't busy. Knight of White Fire 02:06, March 1, 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, I hear ya, I'm almost done zoroark and zorua. All I need is one more of zoroark's legs and hade on both of them. Knight of White Fire 04:33, March 1, 2011 (UTC)
I'm doing good. I'm working on a mid term for my statistics class tomorrow, and I'm volunteering as a work study person at my college. I just can't believe Black and White come out in 4 days here in America! I'm so pumped! What game are you going to get? Knight of White Fire 01:22, March 3, 2011 (UTC)
PS, Sorry how rude of me... How are you, SweetSophie19?
Actually the celebi event goes on until the 7th which is a monday. Oh, and I'll have some new drawings in tomorrow. Oh and as for me, I want to get pokemon black. Reshiram is the first ever dragon/fire pokemon, and i've been waiting forever for a type like that to be released.
hi harracross is a male because of his horn is shape as a x and donphan is male because it has long horns okay and besides all that u can actually see it
Oh, i think i should mention that the celebi event ends on monday in America, and ends today in euroupe. I'm sorry if I got this info in late...
Knight of White Fire 13:52, March 4, 2011 (UTC)
Nice, I'm glad I wasn't too late with the info. Anyway, I swear you read my mind when it comes to these drawings: Shaymin is one of my all time favorite pokemon. I don't care what people say about an 18 year old dude likeing a tiny pokemon with green and white fur with pink flowers, Shaymin is a totally awesome pokemon. I'm just really pshyched that we only have 2 days left for Black and White. I was fortunate to make a pre-order already. Zorua and Zoroark drawings will be in soon.
Knight of White Fire 03:14, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
Hey SweetSophie19, once I finish the scanning, I'll be putting the drawings up on my profile. Chack them out when you get the chance. I'll be shading and coloring some of them later, and I have to add some evolved forms as well.
Knight of White Fire 04:33, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
No way, seriously?! I love Kyogre!!! I can't wait to see it! Plus I'm interested in seeing how Darkrai will come out. Anyway, you can show my drawings in your gallery, just as long as I get credit for the drawings 8-)!
Knight of White Fire 05:03, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
P.S., I posted up a blog. You can check it out if you want.
Actually, in all four years of high school I took German Classes. I'll have to check those videos out.
Knight of White Fire 05:21, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
Ach ja, Ich liebe Deutsch und Pokemon! I just can't speak in fluent German. I've been out of it for a while. I'm still happy though since I can see my old German teacher at my high school whenever I want. I only live a couple of minutes away from the school, and my college isn't too far either. I'm a bit tired, and I have an early shift tomorrow at work, so I'll talk to you tomorrow. Oh, and I'll be good to do BR on Sunday. Oh, and when you get Black/White, can I have your firend code? (if they still have them) Also the same with heartgold/soulsilver? Just let me knoew if you want mine. Gute Nacht 8-)
Knight of White Fire 05:31, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
Sure, I'd like to be friends. I love Giratina! He's my second favorite pokemon! He's Ghost/Dragon. Thats the best type combo in the entire series!! :D
Actually, I've never heard of it. Pizza definitely sounds good though. Aww great, now I'm thinking about Hawaiian pizza which is soo good!!! It's too bad I wont get Black and White tomorrow since I pre-ordered it, but I can wait a bit longer... Knight of White Fire 05:16, March 6, 2011 (UTC)
Oh yeah, and my soulsilver friend code is: 0647 2866 0394
Hey, I'm sorry i couldn't battle tonight... I was way too busy with some work I had to do for my drawing class. I'll play some other time though, maybe wednesday or something?
Knight of White Fire 03:22, March 7, 2011 (UTC)
P.S., I am slightly jealous 8-) I swear I'm going to make it to the third gym and get victini in the same day on both games when I get them.
Actually, you can do it before the game's completion. I checked the website www.serebii.net and that told me that you can get zorua and zoroark before you beat the game. Just go to a higher floor at a hotel in Castelia City, and there's a guy that will talk to you about a Relocator, ubt it needs two codes. Then when he asks you the codes, you first type in EVERYONE HAPPY. Then you type in SIMPLE CONNECTION. then save and shut off your game. Then you start it up again, and once you do, the relocator will be on the main menu. select it, and do DS Download Play with the game that has Celebi and the shiny Raikou/Entei/Suicune, and they'll be transfered to Black/White. Trust me, I had to help my friend out with it yesterday. Anyway, I should be getting the games soon, and I'm pumped!
Knight of White Fire 04:39, March 8, 2011 (UTC)
P.S., I can't wait to see Kyogre! 8-)
Hey would you mind giving me your pokemon black/white friend code? I got pokemon white 3 days ago (and beat it yesterday) and I wanted a your code. Mine is 5157 2311 3108. I hope to get yours soon. If you need help on anything, let me know.
Knight of White Fire 21:05, March 9, 2011 (UTC)
I don't think I'll be able to tonight either: i just pulled a long shift @ work and I'm a bit tired, sorry...
I agree though, I hate what they did to Munna! I really hate everyone on Team Plasma except fo N.
The only interaction he had as a kid were pokemon that were abandoned by previous trainers, and Ghetis never let N interact with real people with pokemon as their friends. I hope you got that reccomendation i posted from your response on my blog.
Anyway, I'm sorry that I can't do battle tonight, but I probably can on the weekend. Just let me know if that's cool for you. Knight of White Fire 03:21, March 10, 2011 (UTC)
P.S., Congrats on getting Zekrom 8-)
Cobalion is in Mistralton Cave (You must have Surf to access the cave), Terrakion is in a cave in Victory Road (You'll need strength), and Virizion is in Pinwheel Forest (Go along the bridge and there should be a small opening to the right. Once there, follow the forest path all the way to an opening in the trees, You'll find Virizion there) Anyway, my current team is Serperior, Zoroark, Beartic, Seismitoad, Victini, and Zekrom (I don't have Black yet 8-(...So you'll have to face my team in White if we do battle)
Knight of White Fire 03:40, March 11, 2011 (UTC)
I didn't get Kyurem yet. but i did get Volcarona. I do know where he is though. Anyway to answer the other question, I'll try to do BR tomorrow, but it'll have to be around the evening. Oh and for other DS games, I have 2 or 3 sonic games, a lot of Yu-Gi-Oh! games, one Star Wars game, one Bakugan game, and a few Naruto games. Oh and the megaman starforce trilogy. I hope they have a new game though...
Knight of White Fire 02:56, March 13, 2011 (UTC)
P.S., What's your current team? Mine's a Lv 70 Volcarona, Lv 48 Victini, Lv 50 Zoroark, Lv 55 Serperior, Lv 57 Zekrom, and a Lv 54 Seismitoad.
Not really all the time. I can't really think of good names, but I think I will in Black Version.
I feel so special right now! I just caught Jyurem with, no joke, 1 ultra ball. No cheating or anything, all i used were three or Victini's Flame Charges, and one Heat Wave from Volcarona. Sorry if I'm rubbing it in, but i feel so happy right now. Knight of White Fire 04:08, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

Please stop telling people the images you created are userboxes. They're pictures, not templates and you know it. I'm not going to ask you to remove them or anything because you've done nothing wrong. However please do not refer to them as user boxes. They're not templates they're images. Call them Pictures. Take a look at the section of my profile entitled userboxes, or Winxfan1's. They're real. The ones you created are fake/images not templates. Signed Hstar Chief Editor of the Anime Department! 20:16, March 13, 2011 (UTC)
Alright, no need to over use the word "Pictures". I was merely checking you were uploading pictures and not claiming them to be templates. Now I know and I apologise. Also next time you leave a message on a talk page, please entitle the message or add a heading and sign it. Because if I hadn't checked I wouldn't know it was you how wrote that message. Thank you. (By the way if you need any User Boxes making for you, I would be more than happy to make some for you - check out my profile or Burnning Blaze's to see some examples) Signed Hstar Chief Editor of the Anime Department! 20:23, March 13, 2011 (UTC)
To say Sorry
To say Sorry. I'm going to add the following template to your profile as an apology. (I saw you liked Zekrom so...) If you don't like it I'll remove it straight away. If you like it but hate the colours I can change it. Here's a preview of the template.
|SweetSophie19 is a fan of Zekrom.
Signed Hstar Chief Editor of the Anime Department! 20:29, March 13, 2011 (UTC)
I was gonna ask you if you wanted to be friends! I'll add you to my list straight away. Don't worry about adding me onto your profile, I'll do it for you, and I'll even chuck in a Celebi Userbox. Hopefully one day I'll teach you how to make a user box. If you go to source mode, copy and paste that Zekrom Template. Then if you want to change the image, just change the name of the image and it should appear e.g. Zekrom.png to Celebi.jpg If you want to change the text, remove that text and type in something else. If you want to change the colours go to Help:Color Chart and copy and paste a Hex Code from there. When I was learning I just played around with it and experimented until I got my result.

Haha, poor Ash! I wonder how long that bounty has been going on for. You'd wonder if it's gone up by now since Pikachu knows way too many powerful moves! Nice work!

Oh and what do you think of these nicknames: Snivy = Sly, Tepig = Pignitus, Oshawott = Wotta.
I just came up with them today for my starters on Pokemon Black Version (I finally got it!!!), although Sly, Pignitus, and Wotta have evolved into Servine, Pignite, and Dewott. But I'm on the 2nd gym

Hey, it's good to hear from you again. Listen, I won't be able to do BR this week, it my week of Finals, and i got a whole load of work and studying to do. I'm sorry, but after thursday, I'm done school for a week, and I can do BR after Thursday. By the way, how are you doing in Black/White? I restarted my Black version (after trading all my pokemon of course) and I'm doing great. I still haven't caught any shinies yet... 8-(... I know the day will come, and I'm ticked about GTS: People are offering shinies for IMPOSSIBLE Pokemon: a shiny Swoobat for a level 9 or under Reshiram, Who does that?! Man... anyway, I'm willing to offer some pokemon under certain conditions if you want to do a GTS trade. (I don't do legendaries, unless it's for another legendary depending on conditions of course.) Anyway, I'm starting a new drawing soon and I'll post it here when I'm all done. Sorry if this is a long message 8-)

Hey, it's been a while. I'm also working on some school stuff so the drawings may be put on hold for a while... Anyway, good luck with the summer job thing, and speaking of dream cars, (I know it may sound a bit dorky) I was hoping for either a green Dodge Challenger with racing stripes like Kevin E. Levin from Ben 10, or a yellow Camero with racing stripes like Bumblebee from Transformers. As for my favorite Star Wars characterI would say Anakin Skywalker since I have a pretty close resemblance to him before he, well, you know... Actually I'd have to say it's between Anakin or Chewbacca, and as for movies, I'd have to say Revenge of the Sith since it's the only one I currently own, and I don't really remember the others... Who's your favorite? Knight of White Fire 03:52, April 15, 2011 (UTC)
Leah huh? cool. You know My dad was watching oprah one time and the actress who played Princess Leah was on her show as well as her mother.
Anyway, to answer your next question, I have gone camping before, but only with my family. I was never really much for doing boy scouts. Plus I wasn't really the most 'popular' kid around back when i was young so i didn't want to get picked on. However camping with one friend (occasionally), as well as my mom, dad, and my dog is good enough for me. By the way, I know you don't like camping, but have you ever been to Salmon Point Campgound up in Maine? That's a pretty nice place with two nice lakes that are open to the public. one is more for little kids, while the other has a nice space plus a good varirety of spots for grills and stuff. They've even got a dock to dive off of, but it's out in a deeper and of the water.
Anyway camping isn't so bad. True you're away from a lot of tech stuff, but it's those times that really matter. Where you're spending quality time with family outside in the beautiful Great Outdoors. However, just pick a good time to go camping and make sure it's good weather. Sometimes listening to the sounds of nature at night is just so pleasant and heartwarming, almost as if you can see and hear nature's beauty all around you. Woah, sorry I felt like i was writing an essay just now, or at least a response to an online class 8-)
Anyway camping is fun when you're with family, but the only thing i don't like is all the bugs, but that's mainly it. I'm sorry if the message was too long 8-)
Knight of White Fire 03:07, April 17, 2011 (UTC)
I do have a seven year-old yellow lab named Sparkx. As for the BR request, I'm in. All I need is a time tor when you wish for me to head on. You're welcome to join in as well if you want.

Hey do you have an account on Pokemon.com? If you do, then you can enter the Dream World Website. I'm already on and my screen name is Guvz.

Hey, you can join in tonight too if you want to. 8-)
Knight of White Fire 00:30, April 18, 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, it was getting pretty late for me too. I did have a lot of fun though. I'm gonna take a guess and say starmie is nicknamed Captian Kirk so it can boldly go where no starmie has gone before? 8-) Thanks for my shiny comments by the way.
Hey I also remember you saying you were into YuGiOh, if you don't mind me asking, what's your best card so far? and which card is your favorite (if you had to choose just one)?
Knight of White Fire 02:27, April 18, 2011 (UTC)
Sorry I didn't get back to you
Hey SweetSophie19, Sorry I never got back to you, I had no internet service in Mass, and I've been way too busy with schoolwork since I got home on sunday... I hope you had a great easter.
Knight of White Fire 22:57, April 27, 2011 (UTC)
I actually kind of knew what i wanted to do. I'm hopefully going to go for a degree in animation or being a graphic artist. I never even knew about those chucrhes there, that's pretty interesting! By the way,
i've caught a lot of shiny pokemon. Would you like any of them? Just send me a message if you want a certain shiny pokemon. Hopefully if you can access wifi, then we can do some trades. Don't worry I'm not picky about any pokemon offered.
Knight of White Fire 03:35, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
Hey SweetSophie19,
I'm sorry I never responded to your message, I've been way too busy with my school work for college, I'm in my 4th semester and I'm really trying to do well this time around since I got one A and two C's last semester. Anyway as of next Saturday, I'll be in Disney for five days so I won'y be able to contact you. But Man I'm excited, just one more day until the new Yu-Gi-Oh! Game comes out. If you don't know it's titled "Yu-Gi-OH! 5D's World Championship 2011 Over the Nexus" I'm all ready to buy that tomorrow! I just hope the walmart up here has it that day... Oh yeah, I caught a few shiny pokemon already, would you like one? (if you can access wi-fi yet that is)
Knight of White Fire 15:04, May 9, 2011 (UTC)
Hey, sorry.
I've been super busy with college and work. I'm almost done with my 1st degree though, and my b-day is coming in 8 more days!!! BTW, are you a member on pokemon.com? I'm wondering because if it's your birth month, then you'll get a special message with a free togekiss for the pokemon dream world. Anyway i hope to talk to you soon! 8-)
Knight of White Fire 18:02, September 16, 2011 (UTC)
And I do have a 3DS. I got mine around Easter time, and I'm almost done with the 3D Pokedex. All I need is Pansear, Simisear, Male Unfezant, Spring, Fall, and Winter forms of Deerling and Sawsbuck, and a Male Frillish and Jellicent. And if you didn't already know from the episode pictures on serebii.net, Meowth was "fired" from Team rocket in BW045, and in BW049 he revealed it as part of a plan. Anyway, Ash will be facing Elesa in next week's episode, and I hope at least one of his pokemon evolves. Either that or I hope he'll use Palpitoad again. Anyway, I'll probably message you a little later tonight: I have to go to work soon.
I hope to get some more drawings in soon, I recently drew out liepard.
Knight of White Fire 18:32, September 16, 2011 (UTC)
I was a part of a big dinner party with my parent's friends. We did have a lot of fun and my mom made some amazing food. Anyway, sorry i didn't get back to you. I go to work @ 2 tomorrow so i may be able to talk then. By the way, do you read the naruto manga? if you do, They're at a good part in shippuden. Sasuke is finally back and now has his eternal mangekyou sharingan and Naruto is on the battlefield. if you want to look them up you can check mangareader.com or type in naruto 555 on google or something (556 isn't out yet, but they do update on wednesdays) I'll talk to you later then. 8-)
Knight of White Fire 03:43, September 17, 2011 (UTC)
The food was amazind: she made a nice looking tenderloin and tons of grilled vegetables: asparagus, lettuce, summer squash and potatoes. She even threw in some garlic and sprinkled feta cheese on top. Sorry if i made you hungry (or maybe hungrier depending on the time you read this message) By the way, do you like the new Thundercats 2011 version? It's a pretty good show. and if you miss any episodes, you can check out dubhappy.com where they have tons of anime shows including Naruto Shippuden, Pokemon Black and White, and even Thundercats (2011). Anyway, Good Night! 8-)
Knight of White Fire 03:58, September 17, 2011 (UTC)
To be honest, I don't have any 3DS games yet. I am hoping to get Pokemon Rumble Blast when it comes out in October, and I may consider getting a Mario game or something. By the way, you wouldn't believe this, I was playing my FireRed version and I was speeding through the trainer tower when i come across a trainer with a SHINY Meowth!!! I was so upset, since it was a trainer, (and because action replay doesn't work for GBA games) I couldn't catch it! It's true that I could use the AR to catch one in the wild but it wouldn't be the same... 8-(
Anyway, (I may have asked this before, but), do you like Yu-Gi-Oh! ? If you do, I may also post up some ideas that a firend of mine and I came up with for cards. First of all, they're known as a Soul-Fusion Archetype, and we've got some ideas down and I'm drawing out the cards, well, the picture anyway. I'd really like it if you'd critique my work for me so I can get multiple opinions.
Knight of White Fire 16:28, September 17, 2011 (UTC)
Well, in the Fourth Ninja World War, the Ninja from all of the Five Great Nations in Naruto form one group called the Shinobi Alliance, and they've jpoined forces with the Samurai from the Land of Iron. But Still, you gotta love Samurais and Ninjas, or even better, A Samurai-Ninja (or Ninja-Samurai) 8-)
Knight of White Fire 17:08, September 17, 2011 (UTC)
Hey SweetSophie19,
I may have asked this before, but do you have a PS3 at all? if you do, we could be friends online as well as on this site. Anyway, I've been working a lot on the Yu-Gi-Oh! card designs and my partner (the one who thought of the idea) said that it would be a great idea to also have someone to critique our work. Our cards are known as "Soul Fusion" cards. So far, we've pretty much got a full deck, but we need to add in more monsters since the fusions, synchros, and xyz monsters take up most of the deck. If you have any ideas, you can just let me know. My friend and I are looking for monsters (normal or effect monsters) that will have the name
"Soul Fusion - ____ ____" In those you put in one type of animal at the end and add in something cool in the first blank. tell me a level and I'll think of the effect (if it's an effect monster) Also provide a brief description of what the monster would look like so i can try and draw it out. That would be abig help.
Anyway I do have a PS2, but i don't really use it too much. When I do though, I mainly play Spyro and Crash Bandicoot games as well as Sly Cooper games. And I'm pretty much availible any time during the week except Monday nights, Wednesday nights (every other week) and Friday afternoons. Saturday Afternoons vary but I'm usually not availible because of my job. So you can actually contact me any other time really.
Hope to talk to you soon! 8-)
Knight of White Fire 18:23, September 20, 2011 (UTC)
Well well,
Those are pretty cool! You should really make a bit of a character bio for them, after all, they look like characters that could go into a story or something.
As for what I want for a Soul Fusion Monster, I'll give you some examples. These mosters are ones my friend and I have already thought of:
Soul Fusion - Blaze Lion, Soul Fusion - Typhoon Eagle, Soul Fusion - Mega Mauler (bear), Soul Fusion - Shredder Shark, Soul Fusion - Striker Swordfish, Soul Fusion - Nova Phoenix, Soul Fusion - Zenion Dragon, Soul Fusion - Mecha-Turret Panther, Soul Fusion - Lightning Cheetah, Soul Fusion - Hercules Beetle, Soul Fusion - Inferno Soldier, Soul Fusion - Blizzard Beast, Soul Fusion - Snail Destroyer, Soul Fusion - Sky Raider Pegasus, Soul Fusion - Colossal Whale Shark, Soul Fusion - Magma Komodo, Soul Fusion - Hydra Laser, Soul Fusion - Thunder Kraken, Soul Fusion - Mine Turtle, Soul Fusion - Omega Cerberus, Soul Fusion - Berserk Gorilla Titan, Soul Fusion - Utopian Archangel
These are all of the ones that we've though up of so far for the monsters. With spells and traps, we're fine. So pretty much just put in a cool word before it. I hope this helps.
Knight of White Fire 20:47, September 20, 2011 (UTC)
That's wierd, because I aso got a message saying these exact words: "I am sorry, but no more than three personal images are aowed to be uploaded and/or dispayed on a user page, there are some exceptions but you do not fit them. You have been over your limit for a while now, pease mark any extra images for deetion at your earliest convenience or they wi a be deleted." I got that message on the 17th, but I don't get why they did that to you...
Anyway, I really like the idea for Sou Fusion - Electric Inferno Eagle, and even though we aready have Typhoon Eagle, I think I can make some alterations (such as caling it Typhoon Hawk) Anyway I really love that idea, great job! 8-)
Knight of White Fire 03:48, September 23, 2011 (UTC)
In the episode pic from the Nimbasa episode, it was Bianca batting Elesa, and Bianca now has a Shelmet. Ash is battling her next episode, and he uses Palpitoad!
I know, mee too. I'm also excited tat my B-day in is a few hours!!! 8-)
By the way, I was playing my HeartGold version a while back and I caught a shiny spinarak which is now a shiny ariados in the mid 40's. By the way, I may have asked this, but have you ever watched Yu-Gi-Oh! The abridged Series or DragonBall Z Abridged? If you haven't, you can check it out at yugiohabridged.com and teamfourstar.com, Team Four Star are the ones who made DBZ abridged, and Little Kuriboh made Yu-Gi-OH! Abridged, (In fact, LK invented creating abridged series all together.) You should really watch Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged first though, and even though it may seem very strange at first, watch episode 1 (even though LK wasn't as good then as he is now, but it wasn't that bad, after all, he was just starting this whole thing, and it was his first episode.) Trust me, it's hillarious in the long run.
Knight of White Fire 02:37, September 24, 2011 (UTC)
I'm doing pretty good. I'm watching Lucario and the Mystery of Mew right now. One of my favorite movies since Lucario is a totally awesome pokemon. Don't worry i can message you and watch the movie at the same time. anyway, i managed to get a MacBook Pro to help me out w/ schoolwork and so i can make movies, use photoshop, etc. By the way, my friend loved the Idea for Soul Fusion - Electric Inferno Eagle. I also made its design while i was in class one day. When I re-draw it on non-lined paper, I'll send you a pic of the design since I'll have more room, but it's totally cool. Thanks for thinking of that card, and if you have anymore ideas, would you mind telling me?
So anyway, guess what, remember how I saw a shiny Meowth in Trainer Tower on Fire Red, well I forgot that i had one already in SoulSilver, and I'm currently training him in the Pokewalker. Even though it would be more powerful as a Persian, I don't want him to evolve since i'm more of a Meowth fan, plus I'll teach him some awesome moves including Pay Day.
Knight of White Fire 01:23, October 1, 2011 (UTC)
I know what you mean, and Riolu is pretty cool too. at any rate, we already have a shark idea, but hey, i think i may have rushed you right on the spot, but don't worry about it, it takes time to make good card names. but it is a cool name.
Anyway, i may have forgotten if you have any shiny pokemon, but do you have any?
Knight of White Fire 01:41, October 1, 2011 (UTC)
Oh...My...GOD!!! That is an Amazing Monster name!!! We have a sting ray name i think, but this one is the best one yet!!! Way to go! At any rate, I can catch you any shiny pokemon you want if you ever get access to the GTS, and we ca exchange Black and White Friend Codes. By the way the Dream World is giving out a Haloween Banette with Cursed Body and Cotton Guard.
I don't mean to sound like I'm rubbing it in, but through the GTS, I actually got a Japanese Shiny Mew at Level 30
Knight of White Fire 02:01, October 1, 2011 (UTC)
Hey, sorry if i wasn't able to message you tonight, i was watching Transformers Dark of the Moon, EPIC MOVIE!!! One of my all time favorites. By the way, with Pokemon Black and White (anime version), did you notice that they dubbed the episode where Ash caught Roggenrola on my B-Day, I swear that had to have been a sign because I also found a shiny Roggenrola on that same day. I nicknamed him Crysm (mix between crystal and prism), and once he's a Gigalith, I think I'll name him Gigacrysm. Are those good nicknames?
Knight of White Fire 03:25, October 2, 2011 (UTC)
It's going fine actually. Crysm is a Gigalith now, and he's now Gigacrysm. I'm also playing Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness. I just love Miror B.'s new theme music rather than the one on colosseum. By the way, even though I did have fun on my b-day visiting my grandparents in Mass, I somewhat wish that I was able to go down to DC so I could've seen a live concert starring Big Time Rush, but i still had a fun day. I'm so excited for Pokeon Rumble Blast on the 24th, and I've pre-ordered the Skylanders Spyro's Adventure which comes out tomorrow as well as the 3 legendary figures for Spyro, Chop Chop, and Bash. Hope to hear back from you soon.
Knight of White Fire 01:44, October 16, 2011 (UTC)
Sorry if i didn't get back to you, I've been busy with class and work. Plus I got both Rumble Blast and Skylanders Spyro's Adventure around the same time. I actually plan on getting Super Mario 3D Land, but probably for Christmas since I've pre-ordered Assassin's Creed Revalations at a GameStop, and I've pre-paid some of it.
To answer the next part of your message, I haven't played any samurai games at all. I've motly been doing ninja games like Naruto, although I may find interest in them soon.
Now to answer your current messge, I think it would be a cool idea to exchange e-mail, I'll submit mine first.
Have you gotten the Skylanders game yet, it's pretty awesome. (for a true Spyro fan like myself who has been truely dedicated to the series ever since the first game, I was somewhat disappointed with the looks of the game at first, but I later grew into it, plus the main villan is voiced by the same actor who voiced Invader Zim.) It stinks that you have to buy the toys to play the game, but it's still fun since you can play with up to 32 different characters, and even Cynder is in this game. (I was a huge fan of the Legend series)
Anyway, I'll wait for your e-mail reply, and have a Happy Halloween!
Knight of White Fire 12:49, October 31, 2011 (UTC)
Oh by the way, I wanted to show you two pumpkins that I painted. They're pictures of Ghost Nappa from DragonBall Z Abridged and Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z. It's a two sided pumpkin that i painted by looking at two pictures online, tell me what you think.
Knight of White Fire 13:12, October 31, 2011 (UTC)
<gallery captionalign="left"> Ghost Nappa Punpkin.jpg|Ghost Nappa Pumpkin Painting Vegeta Pumpkin.jpg|Vegeta Pumpkin Painting </gallery>
Well, I can tell you that Assassin's Creed Games do have some long storylines, but they're very fun games, and I've beaten the 3 main games before Revalations in at least a month. Assassin's Creed, you play as Altair Ibn-La'Ahad from the Thrid Crusade, and in Assassin's Creed 2, Brotherhood, and in Revalations, you play as Ezio Auditore da Firenze from the Italian Renaissance. In 2, you basically witness Ezio becoming a member of the Assassin Order, in Brotherhood, you witness him free Rome from the Templar threat and rise up to being the Grand Master of the Assassin Order, and in Revalations, you're pretty much going trough Ezio's Final journey where you also play as Altair too. If I had to say what the coolest to do on that game is, well, that would be the Leap of Faith. When you're on a high enough view point to scan out the area, you can jump off the building into a hay barrel and remain unharmed. In this game series, the Assassins are the good guys and the templars are the bad guys. Plus you get a bit of a history lesson behind some of the things that happened in that time period.
Getting off Assassin's Creed for the moment, why don't we go back to that first statement, why don't you give me your e-mail. and I'll try to send you a hello message. I find it wierd that my e-mail didn't work for you.
I have not ever played the Devil May Dry games. To be honest, I don't think I've ever heard of them, sorry 8-(
By the way, I'm really confused. Two new Yu-Gi-Oh! Tins came out today, and when I get my check, I don't know which one I want. One of them has the main card Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, while the second one has Number 10: Illumiknight. Either way, I'll get both of them eventually since I'll be adding one to my Christmas List, but I don't know which one I want...
Plus Sonic Generations is out and I really want that game, but I've pre-ordered and pre-paid for Revalations through Gamestop, and I've gotta save up for that. Not to mention there are some skylanders that I still havent gotten yet, and they're all pretty awesome.
At any rate, I'm currently training my shiny fire starters, (excluding Tepig since I have no shiny Tepig anymore, he's Emboar now) and my shiny Axew. Oh, and if you didn't know, the new Victini Movie with Zekrom is coming out in certain theaters. If you want some more details, go to serebii.net and follow the link after scrolling down.

If only Izzo had taken a breath before continuing to gush about the 6-foot-6 Lansing Sexton prospect and cut down on the comparisons to Earvin, as in Earvin "Magic" Johnson.
Among the Spartans' next class, there are more heralded and/or decorated prospects — McDonald's All-American guard Gary Harris and Michigan Mr. Basketball Matt Costello — but perhaps none more intriguing than Valentine.
He's an oversized point guard, known for his gifted passing, and just led a Lansing Public School to its second straight state title. There's some Magic in that.
"He sees the court as good as anybody I've had here, watching him in high school, anybody I've had here, as far as the passes he makes and the unselfishness he has." Izzo said of Valentine, the son of former Spartan Carlton Valentine. "There are a lot of guys that can make plays and make passes, and make other people better, but he can do it exactly when that guy needs it. Whether he's taking the ball out of bounds after the other team makes the basket, throwing it the length of the court. He doesn't need to make the spectacular pass. He can make the wraparound. Can he go behind his back, between his legs. He can do all those things, or he can make a real, simple, easy pass and enjoys both.
"I mean, I called Day‑Day (Draymond Geen) a miniature, miniature, miniature Magic in a lot of ways. But Denzel has a lot of those qualities that I used to see in films of Earvin because he's always got his head up. If you watch him play, his head is up from the minute he's about to get the ball — meaning, the ball goes through the basket, and he's already got his head up looking at where he's going to outlet the ball to. If he's got the ball in his hands, he sees everybody, everything, and can make a simple pass. He's big enough to see over people."
The question about Valentine is what position does he play in college? If he truly possesses Magic-like qualities, shouldn't he be a point guard? Some see him more on the wing for the Spartans, at least while Keith Appling is around.
Perhaps Michigan State's greatest attribute this past season was its unselfishness, and that began with Green at power forward and Derrick Nix at center as much as anywhere else on the floor.
"If you watched any of the Class A or Class B State Championship team, you've got to give Sexton a lot of credit for the unselfishness," Izzo said. "And it was led by their star, who I think will be coming here to be a very, very good player even as a freshman. That's Valentine. I've never seen a player that passed the ball and was as unselfish."
So much for tempering enthusiasm.

Summer Jar: Make Your Own Monsters
Without a doubt, my favorite Summer Jar activity was making our own stuffed animal monsters. We got the instructions from Craft, which were blissfully straightforward. First, the boys drew pictures of what they wanted their monsters to look like.
Henry drew a wacky elephant thing, and Eli drew a rectangle with a belly button. Then they chose fabric from our scrap bag, cut out the outlines (tip: don't forget to cut the shape a little bigger than the paper cutout, to allow for the seam), and I sewed them together. The boys stuffed them while I worked on eyes and mouths. Eli suddenly took a great interest in sewing while I was doing the second eye for his monster, so I let him sew a bit on the eye, and a lot on the mouth. He totally has the fine motor skills to do it, and was working really hard on sewing his little monster parts. This was really my favorite part — the investment Eli put into the thing now means that his monster is one of his favorite stuffed animals. Here they are, finished:
I told them they had to name them, and they thought about names really earnestly, until Eli came up with "Soup" as his monster's name, which led Henry to choose "Pizza." So here you have it, Soup and Pizza. (This also led to a funny interchange when we briefly looked at a preschool for Eli. The preschool served breakfast and lunch, which was a big disappointment to Eli, who had been looking forward to bringing his lunch in a lunchbox. The school director said, "You could still bring your lunchbox, and you could put a favorite stuffed animal in there." I said, "You could bring Soup in there," and the director looked kind of worried and said, "Well, we do serve lunch, though, so he really wouldn't need to bring soup.")

Testing the "individualization" of CAM treatments
One of the common claims of alternative medicine practitioners is that they individualize their treatment while conventional medicine treats all patients the same. This is nonsense on several levels, but it is also a common excuse for why randomized clinical trials cannot be performed, or cannot be viewed as reliable evidence, in evaluating some alternative therapies. However, some trials have been done that attempt to account for this supposed individualization of therapy, and generally they have failed to show a benefit to the supposedly individualized approach. One of those, involving Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) was recently discussed by Edzard Ernst, one of few, and most productive researchers in the CAM field applying an evidence-based approach:
Matthias Lechner, MD, Iva Steirer, MD, Benno Brinkhaus, MD, Yun Chen, CMD, Claudia Krist-Dungl, MS, Alexandra Koschier, MS, Martina Gantschacher, MA, Kurt Neumann, MS, and Andrea Zauner-Dungl, MD.

Three-time Olympian runner Suzy Favor Hamilton has admitted leading a double life as an escort.
She apologized today after a report by The Smoking Gun website said she had been working as a prostitute in Las Vegas.
The 44-year-old Favor Hamilton lives in Madison, Wis. The Smoking Gun said she has been working for the last year for an escort service.
Soon after the story appeared online, Hamilton released a series of tweets saying in part that she was "drawn to escorting in large part because it provided many coping mechanisms for me when I was going through a very challenging time with my marriage and my life."
A middle-distance runner, Favor Hamilton competed for the U.S. at the Olympics in 1992, 1996 and 2000 but did not win a medal. She won seven U.S. national titles. A multiple-time All-American at the University of Wisconsin, she dominated Big Ten distance running during her collegiate career.

UNESCO publishes outcome of 2008 World Press Freedom Day
UNESCO launches Freedom of Expression, Access to Information and Empowerment of People, a compilation of contributions by the participants of the conference held in Maputo, Mozambique, in May 2008, on the occasion of World Press Freedom Day. A wide variety of authors, from journalists to academics and civil society, express their views on how freedom of information and freedom of expression can help people gain control over their lives.
At the 2008 World Press Freedom Day celebration in Maputo UNESCO explored how both press freedom and freedom of information can feed into the wider objective of empowering people. Representatives of newspapers, civil society and international organizations discussed and declared a number of common principles and guidelines on this subject.
This focus built on an earlier meeting of experts in Paris during 2008, which analysed the link between freedom of information and sustainable development. UNESCO also hosted a lecture series during 2008, on the theme of 'The Potential of Information and Communication Strategy for Development'. All three events are the sources of the content in this publication.
The issues covered in the book are summed up in its title: 'Freedom of Expression, Access to Information and Empowerment of People'. Empowerment is a multi-dimensional social and political process that helps people gain control over their own lives. This in turn depends on access to the means to actively communicate, as well as on access to a plurality of information - including that held by the state.
This new publication particularly stresses the role that community media can play in enriching the pluralism of the media scene. It further highlights the importance of the access to information as an inherent part of the freedom of expression and empowerment of people. Annexed to the book is the Maputo Declaration, which was adopted by consensus at the end of the 2008 World Press Freedom Day.
The publication is available online in English: please click here.

A government minister has warned that a lasting legacy of racial hatred could result from campaigning by far-right candidates in next month's European elections.
Communities Minister Sadiq Khan said that the effect of literature produced by far-right parties, including the British National Party, could continue after the elections on June 4.
"The Jewish community will need to keep a very close eye on literature that could be antisemitic because it will be written in a very clever and cunning way," said Mr Khan.
"The far-right understands how our race and religious hatred laws work and they employ people to tell them what they can and cannot write. Not only have they started to wear suits but they have lawyers to check what they are doing.
"The literature they produce may not be in breach of the law but it is still racist in tone. We rely on the Jewish community and other ethnic communities making the authorities aware of anything that borders on criminality."
Mr Khan said it was "crucial" that as many people as possible turned out to vote in the June 4 poll.
The minister said he was "very pleased" with a coalition between synagogues, churches and mosques in a number of cities, including Manchester and Birmingham.
"The main thing is people must vote. The more votes cast, the harder it is for the BNP candidates to be elected."
The last day to register for voting in the European elections is May 19.
The Young Jewish Political Network has organised a day of action on Sunday and will be distributing 4,000 leaflets about the election to homes in north west London.

No they are not cheaters, not to my knowledge anyway. They are alts of lvl56 players that are known to have very good connections to games. They were probably farming the box for xp. They are in the SSB clan
Hello all,
I ran into a group in Black Box, obviously a team in that all their names were something like <name> i.e. <Fox>, <Sonic>, etc. Anyway I suspect they are hackers since their levels ranged from 19 to 27 and basically they were one shot wonders .so they are using Golden Ammo. And then one of their mates got on our side and he sandbagged the game and just sat there .and his mates wouldnt kill him. Nice sportsmanship.
And since I have your attention, if anyone knows of a player that goes by the name Tango & Cash, could you tell him that proxytonning all the time is frowned upon just ot get his kill rate up. I dont mind having my arse handed to me by some 12 year old .but do it on a level playing field.
Cheers all.

Connection advantage n. [kunex-shun ad'vantadja] 1. the state of having a positive bias toward playing online against other human beings in a digital contest as a result of one's superior or inferior internet speed. 2. contacting someone by telephone and having a conversation with the other party whilst they are unaware of your identity. 3. the state of having someone at a disadvantage due to a forced physical position, often as a result of malice.

We are bracing for another bout on snow tomorrow. Your DPW Dept. Is on standby and ready to salt and clear of streets. Remember only use 911 for a life threatening emergency for non emergencies please use 908-464-1111.
As this may be a wet snow it may cause limbs to break and cause some power outages It is important that if you lose power that you call JCP&L immediately at 800-545-7738, or use the automated line at 888-544-4877, if you have a gas leak or an odor of gas call PSE&G at 800-7734 (PSEG). Please never assume that you neighbor already did it or that the power company already knows about it.
There is still time to prepare do you have flash lights and batteries ready. Since it is cold enough do you have you summer coolers where you can get to them for refrigerated and freezer items. Are you cell phones and laptops fully charged and ready to go. In an emergency Town Hall will be open to charge up your devices.
Finally, if you still need to go Christmas Shopping, as a former retailer, may I suggest that you stay home if it snows and do it Online, HSN or QVC.
Stay Safe and enjoy the Season

A charitable 2 stars. But as a longtime fan of the Cirque, it was really a disappointment. A couple of good acts (gymnastic, acrobatic, juggler types) in the Cirque tradition, and good live music. Really tedious clown acts: tired vaudville jokes and slapstick acts that went on forever. And beware the adult humor if you are bringing the kids!

Finanzstruktur und Wirtschaftswachstum - theoretische und empirische Aspekte
The bank-based financial systems of Germany and Japan were considered most conducive to growth in the 1980s. After the Japanese stagnation of the 1990s and the most recent slump in Germany, the conviction that the market-based Anglo-American financial systems are a prerequisite for a dynamic economic development has gained ground. However, critics have stressed recently that the strong orientation towards "share-holder value" comes at the expense of long-term growth. This has induced the author to analyse the long-term relationship between the financial system/structure and economic growth in depth. This study provides theoretical and empirical evidence.

Winston Churchill once said: "Some see private enterprise as a predatory target to be shot, others as a cow to be milked, but few are those who see it as a sturdy horse pulling the wagon."
The Democrats in the Oregon Legislature decided to "shoot" and "milk." The Democrats, knowingly or unknowingly (both are unacceptable), have most likely snuffed out the fragile flame of an accelerating recovery. They deliberately decided to match income to spending instead of what the rest of us do, which is to match spending to income.
After budgeting almost $5 billion more than the last state budget, they and their income-consuming allies are now telling us they want more. In the process of selling Measures 66 and 67 they are shamefully dividing Oregonians into three classes, two-thirds of which are to be "shot" or "milked."
Please, don't tell me it would have been too difficult and painful to balance the budget without taking more money from a targeted group of Oregonians. Don't tell me that I'm unaware of the trauma of producing a balanced budget. Don't tell me any of that. It took three special sessions to do it in 1982 as Oregon's state income fell. I know it all personally, in excruciating detail, and the memory of that experience remains with me today.
The unemployment rate then was over 12 percent. But unlike today, inflation was raging at 13 percent and interest rates were over 20 percent. That period in Oregon history has been very favorably recognized by Oregonians and the media for the actions we took. I say "we" because it took the Democratic majority and a Republican governor working together. It was not always in harmony, but always with respect.
I am strongly opposed to Measures 66 and 67. I don't want to put Oregon on the side of killing jobs -- an estimated 45,000, according to two leading economists. I have said, time and time again, that government cannot create jobs, but government can create the atmosphere for the creation of jobs by private enterprise. These two ballot measures would do the opposite.
Over my eight years as governor, I worked hard to diversify our economy -- hours upon hours, in other states and overseas. I was determined to put Oregon on the economic map. When I left office, the state no longer was competing against California, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona and Washington. They were competing against us.
I yearn for a majority of legislators who have the far-seeing vision to put Oregon back on track. I'm frustrated to see Oregon once again drop down to a second-class state because too many elected officials make political decisions based on their re-election.
Voters, this is your chance to send the message of hope. Vote "no" on Measures 66 and 67.
Vic Atiyeh was Oregon governor from 1979 to 1987.

[Trigger warning: cissexism, abuse]
What came before:
- You were my girl child [trigger warning: abusive relationship, cissexism, binarism]
(Snippets of) What my mother says:
"It seems like you've decided we're these evil Neanderthal people who ruined you and… it's 'get on board or be labeled a Neanderthal, because I've decided this, and you've gotta get on board.'"
"I have no problem embracing your sexuality. I am your mother and you are a girl, and that is my reality and it's never going to change. If you told me you were a guy, and you wanted to have a sex change operation, I guess I would have to go through that. I'm sorry if you don't understand that; maybe if you have a child you will."
"[Swim trunks are] anatomically developed for a boy and you're anatomically a girl. I'm sorry if you think that means I'm some evil, dark, bad, malicious person, but it's just how I feel. It doesn't mean that you have to change, but it doesn't mean that I have to change. I cannot accept boy swim trunks and I don't think I ever will."
"Well you think that's different from how everyone else feels? I mean men have to wear ties. Nobody likes to wear ties."
"If you're planning any 'surprises' for the wedding, please just don't come. I don't agree with their conservative Baptist stuff, but they're my family, and I don't have much family. It's a wedding, and it's about them, and it's not about me, and it's not about you, and it's not a time to call attention to yourself."
"I will never understand that, honestly."
I am planning to go on this vacation with my family this week. I am planning to go to my cousin's wedding with them in a few weeks more. I asked my brother to have my back at least in private and he said, "Of course."
After this, I think my parents and I may not speak for a while. I think it would be for the best.
I still have the tiniest fear that they are right, I am wrong, and that my life will fall apart by embracing who I think I am. But that comes from a lifetime of gaslighting and abuse.
Well. I won't lie. That tiniest fear is small, but it is sheer molten terror
and a little grief
that this is what it's come to.

By Dave Wagner: CNJ sports writer
After 19 seasons of playing 6-man football, the New Mexico Activities Association has opened the door this year for some of its smaller schools to move a little closer to the traditional 11-man game.
A total of 14 schools, including Melrose, Floyd and Clovis Christian, are preparing for their first taste of 8-man football and, for the most part, they're looking forward to it.
"I think it's going to be good, really," CCS coach Greg Darden said. "You're going to have more kids (playing) who've never had a chance to play 6-man."
While everyone on offense in the 6-man game is able to catch a pass, 8-man features three interior lineman on offense who are not eligible receivers.
Melrose coach Dickie Roybal welcomes the change, even though his team has made three straight appearances in the 6-man state finals and is struggling a bit with numbers this year.
"I played 11-man in high school (at Fort Sumner)," he said. "As far as the kids we've had since the seventh grade, we're just teaching them different concepts.
"There are a lot more schemes in 8-man. I really like it a lot more, and I think the kids are really enjoying it."
As enrollments have changed over the years, the disparity has grown in the 6-man game — to the point where the smallest schools, for whom the game was originally designed, were generally overmatched.
In addition to 8-man, there are 10 Class 1A schools playing 11-man football and seven left in 6-man.
"We're really excited for it," said Mario Martinez, NMAA associate director and former Fort Sumner football coach. "One of our big goals is participation, and the 8-man game allows for that. The lineman type (of player) that doesn't have a lot of speed couldn't play in the 6-man game."
The NMAA brought in former 8-man coaches from Oklahoma to introduce the game. "After that, some of our schools said they were ready to try it," Martinez said.
The standard field will be 100 yards long by 40 yards wide, although some teams like CCS will still play on an 80 x 40 field. Other teams in New Mexico which converted a regular field (100 yards by 53 yards) to 6-man (80 x 40) will be able to go to the longer length.
"The wider field gives fast teams a definite advantage (in 8-man)," Martinez said. "By narrowing it down, it evens the playing field a little more."
The rules are basically the same as in 11-man, he added, except there's no requirement in 8-man that offensive lineman have numbers in the 50s, 60s or 70s.
Floyd coach Rafael Roybal is looking forward to the change, even though the Broncos only have about 10 high school boys out.
Roybal served as an assistant for about two decades at Fort Sumner, but had to learn the nuances of 6-man when he came to Floyd last season.
"Years ago I watched a couple of games," he said. "It's a lot like 11-man except there's one less back and no tackles (on offense).
"I just think this is a better game. It makes my experience a lot more pertinent."
Coaches like the additional strategy, and anticipate far fewer games in the 60s and 70s.
"I think it's going to help us a lot," Darden said of his program. "We didn't have the speed (in 6-man) to keep up with everybody else, but I think this is going to even out the teams a little.
"Now you have to learn blocking schemes and that kind of stuff. We're going to have to go out and do some homework now."
The games should also be more competitive.
"I think there may be a couple of teams better than everybody else, but after that it's wide open," said Dickie Roybal, whose team plays host Menaul Sept. 23 in Albuquerque in the finale of a special 8-man tripleheader. "For defensive coaches, it makes a big difference. It's about impossible in 6-man to have some kind of scheme."

KALAMAZOO — Fewer homes are being purchased in Kalamazoo County, but the ones that are selling are fetching a better price.
The average selling price was up 10 percent year-over-year last month, while the number of homes sold dropped 26 percent, according to a monthly report from the Greater Kalamazoo Association of Realtors.
The reason? The association says there are fewer foreclosures and short sales — what the industry calls distressed sales — on the market.
"There are not as many distressed sales dragging down, pulling down prices" in Kalamazoo County, said Frank Mortl III, association CEO.
It also helps, Mortl said, that inventory is down compared to last year and the distressed properties that are selling are going for higher prices. Mortl said the association believes the price increases also are reflective of a slowly improving local economy.
"For whatever reason, maybe the job market, less foreclosures, the average price is trending up," he said.
Federal tax credits for homebuyers, which had boosted sales for more than a year, ended in June. Since then, the number of homes sold has fallen in each of the last three months.
Month 2010 2009 Change
Jan. 189 169 +11.8%
Feb. 206 189 +9%
March 276 236 +16.9%
April 359 276 +30.1%
May 343 265 +29.4%
June 405 324 +25%
July 241 379 -36.4%
Aug. 249 375 -33.6%
Sept. 254 343 -25.9%

The average price last month was $142,047, up 9.5 percent over the September 2009 average of $129,674. In six of the nine month this year, average prices have shown year-over-year increases.
If there are fewer distressed properties on the market in Kalamazoo County, as the association contends, data on the problem don't show it.
There were 266 homes some stage of mortgage foreclosure in August in Kalamazoo County, a 20 percent increase over August 2009, according to California-based RealtyTrac Inc.
And through Aug. 31, there had been 720 home repossessions this year by mortgage lenders in the county, according to Kalamazoo County Clerk Timothy Snow. The county is on track to log about 1,000 repossessions, roughly the same as the past three years.
"There are a number of factors pushing things up," Mortl said. "It's not a perfect economic climate but it's improving."
