Kevin Davies, Editor-in-Chief, Bio-IT World : The term next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been around for so long it has become almost meaningless. We use "NGS" to describe platforms that are so well established they are almost institutions, and future (3rd-, 4th-, or whatever) generations promising to do for terrestrial triage what Mr Spock's Tricorder did for intergalactic health care. But as the costs of consumables keep falling, turning the data-generation aspect of NGS increasingly into a commodity, the all-important problems of data analysis, storage, and medical interpretation loom ever larger. "There is a growing gap between the generation of massively parallel sequencing output and the ability to process and analyze the resulting data," says Canadian cancer research John McPherson, feeling the pain of NGS neophytes left to negotiate "a bewildering maze of base calling, alignment, assembly, and analysis tools with often incomplete documentation and no idea how to compare and validate their outputs. Bridging this gap is essential, or the coveted $1,000 genome will come with a $20,000 analysis price tag." "The cost of DNA sequencing might not matter in a few years," says the Broad Institute's Chad Nusbaum. "People are saying they'll be able to sequence the human genome for $100 or less. That's lovely, but it still could cost you $2,500 to store the data, so the cost of storage ultimately becomes the limiting factor, not the cost of sequencing. We can quibble about the dollars and cents, but you can't argue about the trends at all. But these issues look relatively trivial compared to the challenge of mining a personal genome sequence for medically actionable benefit. Stanford's chair of bioengineering, Russ Altman, points out that not only is the cost of sequencing "essentially free," but the computational cost of dealing with the data is also trivial. "I mean, we might need a big computer, but big computers exist, they can be amortized, and it's not a big deal. But the interpretation of the data will be keeping us busy for the next 50 years." Or as Bruce Korf, the president of the American College of Medical Genetics, puts it: "We are close to having a $1,000 genome sequence, but this may be accompanied by a $1,000,000 interpretation." Arbimagical Goal The "$1,000 genome" is, in the view of Infinity Pharmaceuticals' Keith Robison, an "arbimagical goal"—an arbitrary target that has nevertheless obtained a magical notoriety through repetition. The catchphrase was first coined in 2001, although by whom isn't entirely clear. The University of Wisconsin's David Schwartz insists he proposed the term during a National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) retreat in 2001. During a breakout session, he said that NHGRI needed a new technology to complete a human genome sequence in a day. Asked to price that, Schwartz paused: "I thought for a moment and responded, '$1,000.'" However, NHGRI officials say they had already coined the term. The $1,000 genome caught on a year later, when Craig Venter and Gerry Rubin hosted a major symposium in Boston (see, "Wanted: The $1000 Genome," Bio•IT World, Nov 2002). Venter invited George Church and five other hopefuls to present new sequencing technologies, none more riveting than U.S. Genomics founder Eugene Chan, who described an ingenious technology to unfurl DNA molecules that would soon sequence a human genome in an hour. (The company abandoned its sequencing program a year later.) Another of those hopefuls was 454 Life Sciences, which in 2007 made Jim Watson the first personal genome using NGS, at a cost of about $1 million. Since then, the cost of sequencing has plummeted to less than $10,000 in 2010. Much of that has been fueled by the competition between Illumina and Applied Biosystems (ABI). When Illumina said its HiSeq 2000 could sequence a human genome for $10,000, ABI countered with a $6,000 genome dropping to $3,000 at 99.99% accuracy. Earlier this year, Complete Genomics reported its first full human genomes in Science. One of those belonged to George Church, whose genome was sequenced for about $1,500. CEO Cliff Reid told us earlier this year that Complete Genomics now routinely sequenced human genomes at 30x coverage for less than $1,000 in reagent costs. The ever-quotable Clive Brown, formerly a central figure at Solexa and now VP development and informatics for Oxford Nanopore, a 3rd-generation sequencing company says: "I like to think of the Gen 2 systems as giant fighting dinosaurs, '[gigabases] per run—grr—arggh' etc., a volcano of data spewing behind them in a Jurassic landscape—Sequanosaurus Rex. Meanwhile, in the undergrowth, the Gen 3 'mammals' are quietly getting on with evolving and adapting to the imminent climate change... smaller, faster, more agile, and more intelligent." Nearly all the 2nd-generation platforms have placed bets on 3rd-gen technologies. Illumina has partnered with Oxford Nanopore; Life Technologies has countered by acquiring Ion Torrent Systems; and Roche is teaming up with IBM. PacBio has talked about a "15-minute" genome by 2014, Halcyon Molecular promises a "$100 genome," while a Harvard start-up called GnuBio has placed a bet on a mere $30 genome. David Dooling of The Genome Center at Washington University, points out the widely debated cost of the Human Genome Project included everything—the instruments, personnel, overhead, consumables, and IT. But the $1,000 genome—or in 2010 numbers, the $10,000 genome—only refers to flow cells and reagents. Clearly, the true cost of a genome sequence is much higher (see, "The Grand Illusion"). In fact, Dooling estimates the true cost of a "$10,000 genome" as closer to $30,000, by the time one has considered instrument depreciation and sample prep, personnel and IT, informatics and validation, management and overheads. "If you are just costing reagents, most of the vendors could claim a $1,000 genome right now," says Brown. "A more interesting question is: '$1,000 genome—so what?' It's an odd goal because the closer you get to it the less relevant it becomes." This article also appeared in the September-October 2010 issue of Bio-IT World.
Ernie Bush, VP and Scientific Director, Cambridge Healthtech Associates : The following is an interview that Ernie Bush conducted with Paul Watkins in September 2010. Paul Watkins, Professor of Medicine and Pharmacy at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and director of the Hamner-UNC Institute for Drug Safety Sciences, spoke with me about the Hamner Institute's efforts to leverage information from the human genome to explore issues around drug induced liver injury.EB: Could you describe the work you're doing at the Hamner Institute?PW: Rare idiosyncratic drug induced liver injury (DILI) is the major drug toxicity that terminates a new molecular entity in clinical development and it's also the major organ toxicity that leads to regulatory actions on drugs post approval. And there's really been very little insight to date on what is the mechanism of these adverse events, i.e. why a drug that's safe for the vast majority of people can cause life threatening liver injury in a rare person, say 1 in 10,000 or 1 in 50,000. And a very exciting endeavor that's been ongoing now for five years and funded by the NIH is the drug induced liver injury network or DILIN.I chair the steering committee and I also chair the genetics sub-committee for this initiative. It involves finding people around the country who've actually had these rare reactions and recovered, in some cases after a liver transplant. And one of the first areas we're starting on is the genetics. All of these subjects are going to undergo the million SNP chip analysis for a genome-wide association study (GWAS). About half of the 850 have already had this GWAS and there have been some successes just doing this technique.To extend this assessment, what we're now embarking on, and this is in collaboration with David Goldstein's group at Duke, is whole exome sequencing with cases due to certain drugs where we have a relatively large number of well-characterized subjects... There's also a parallel effort in Europe...All these studies in the U.S. and Europe are, of course, generating a huge amount of data. Therefore, the real challenge now is: How do we mine that large data set to get mechanistic insight of why an individual would be susceptible to DILI drug reactions. So here at the Hamner, we've begun several research initiatives designed to synergize and capitalize on these other resources.One is that we're looking at panels of inbred mice that are genetically very well characterized but one strain is significantly different from the other. We use these strains as a model for genetic variation that exists in people. We were fortunate enough to get an NIH grant—that's myself and David Threadgill who's the chair of genetics at NC State University—to start giving drugs to these mice to see if we could find one particular strain or a couple of strains that would manifest the toxicity, just as it occurs in people. Because the genetics is very well worked out and established in these mice, we can immediately see candidate genes that account for the susceptibility in mice and then compare that to the human genetic data in the DILIN and SAE consortium gene banks to test these hypotheses.The other approach is to study the effects of these drugs, the ones implicated as causing liver injury, in primary cultures of human hepatocytes with additional cells that are present in the liver; particularly Kupffer cells to see if we can define the pathways that these drugs perturb as you go from physiologic concentrations to toxic concentrations. These studies may generate a list of suspect genes that we can then go over to the human genetic data and actually look very closely at these genes to see if there's any variation that might cause a susceptibility to DILI.Likewise as David Goldstein's group comes up with certain genetic variations that they say statistically are different between the cases and controls, we can go to our hepatocytes and look to see if that makes sense mechanistically.And then lastly, we're putting all this information together in an in silco model called DILI-SIM. This work is a collaboration between the Food and Drug Administration and a Bay area company called Entelos where we've already begun modeling the major pathways taken by drugs and the major perturbations that drugs cause that can lead to liver toxicity.EB: At the World Pharmaceutical Congress, you presented preliminary data that suggest not so much a metabolic difference in these individuals, but an immune system difference, is that correct?PW: That's right. One of the surprises in the GWAS analysis, both done in the DILIN and the SAE consortium, was that for some drugs the major susceptibility factor that we could identify was within what's called the HLA region of the genome. So this is involved in the immune response—what's called the acquired immune response, suggesting that these severe events may in some cases be due to the body's immune system attacking the liver.In addition to that, we found suggestions for other types of genes including drug metabolism and transporter genes. But, the associations so far have been weak and we've actively working to improve and expand these findings.This article also appeared in the September-October 2010 issue of Bio-IT World.

Isaac the Confessor
Our father among the saints Isaac the Confessor (also known as "Isaac of Dalmatia") is commemorated by the Orthodox Church on March 22, May 30, and August 3. He is known for his struggle against the Arian heresy during the reigns of the Arian emperor Valens and the Orthodox emperor Theodosius.
Conflict with Emperor Valens
Although Elder Isaac is believed to have been a Greek-speaking Syrian, this is not certain. What is known is that he was a Greek-speaking eastern hermit who lived in the wilderness. His hagiographies begin with his appearance before the emperor Valens in the year A.D. 378. Valens had aided the Arians of Constantinople in their persecutions of the Orthodox, which included expelling Orthodox bishops and closing certain churches while giving others to the Arians. At the time of Isaac's visit, Valens and his army were on their way to fight an army of Goths which had marched down from the Danube toward Thrace. Receiving an audience with the emperor, Isaac said to him, "O Emperor, open the churches of the Orthodox, and God will bless your path." Ignoring Isaac's warning, Valens continued his journey to battle.
The next day, Isaac ran out to warn the emperor. Valens, moved by Isaac's boldness and sincerity, was almost persuaded to do as he asked. However, one of his advisors (an Arian) convinced him not to do as Isaac requested. On the third day, Isaac's manner became more confrontational. Tradition says that he ran up to the emperor's horse and grabbed it by the reins. Once again, he begged Valens to give the Church its freedom, this time also adding a warning of divine retribution if Valens did not fulfill his request. Valens, offended at Isaac's audacity, had him thrown into a deep pit, filled with mud and thorns. This would not hinder the saint of God, however.
On the fourth day, Isaac again appeared before the emperor. This time, Isaac said, "You wanted to destroy me, but three angels pulled me from the mire. Hear me, open up the churches for the Orthodox and you shall defeat the enemy. If, however, you do not heed me, then you will not return. You will be captured and burned alive." Isaac added, "Learn from experience that it is hard to kick against the goads. You will not return, and this expedition will be destroyed." Valens, incredulous and offended, ordered his attendants, Saturninus and Victor, to imprison the monk until his return.
On August 9, 378, Valens' army engaged the Goths in what would later become known as the Battle of Adrianople. The Goths utterly defeated the Greek army, and Valens fled into the countryside with his generals. Valens and his generals took refuge in a barn filled with straw, which the Goths surrounded and set ablaze, the emperor perishing exactly as Isaac had foretold.
Some of the soldiers that survived the battle came to Isaac's cell and said to him, "Prepare to make your defense before the emperor, who is coming to fulfill what he spoke against you." Isaac calmly answered, "It has already been seven days since I smelled the stench of his bones, which were burned in the fire."
The Orthodox emperor Theodosius succeeded Valens. Having heard of Isaac's prophecy and its fulfillment, Theodosius released Isaac from prison and summoned him to appear before him. The emperor prostrated himself before the elderly monk, asking his forgiveness. Theodosius did as Isaac had petitioned Valens, also exiling the Arians from the city for their persecution of the Orthodox.
Monastery life
Having restored peace to the Church in Constantinople, Isaac wanted to return to his life in the wilderness. However, he was persuaded to remain in Constantinople. A wealthy aristocrat named Saturninus built a monastery for Isaac within the city, where he lived in ascetic struggle, working many miracles. Isaac is also known for his zealous witness to the Orthodox faith at the Second Ecumenical Council, convened in Constantinople in A.D. 381.
Disputed date of death
Isaac is believed by some authorities to have died in A.D. 383, although others place his death around A.D. 396. However, neither of these might be accurate; the life of John Chrysostom includes mention of St. Isaac living into the fifth century. At least one account says that John, as bishop of Constantinople, disapproved of monks who roamed the streets visiting friends in their private houses, out of his concern that the monastic reputation would be marred. Those who did not approve of Chrysostom's new rules brought their complaints to Isaac, who in turn is said to have voiced them at the Synod of the Oak in A.D. 403.

Phew! It's all non-stop action with the royals these days – weddings, dancing, births (congratulations Vicky and Dan), dancing, anniversaries…..
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, seems to be going gangbusters in her new job as royal celebrity. Stepping out sans Will, she seems to be managing her official duties with aplomb. Meeting the people, smiling for the cameras, managing the flower collection (always bemused by the volume of flower collecting the female royals have to do) – Kate is doing it with style – extra points as she's new (ish) to the game, having lived most of her life as a 'private citizen'. Next stop, March 19 for public speaking. And yikes, will it be public with the world's media on hand, no doubt, to record and transmit her efforts to the world's news broadcasters. Kate says she's looking forward to it – I'll shake in my boots for her then!
QEII is also full steam ahead, as indeed she promised in her 60th anniversary statement on Feb 6. What I'm really enjoying is her outfits these days. Yes, she's privy to her pick of the world's designers but I love the happy colours she chooses and the way she co-ordinates the colours to the event. It seems almost….playful! An inspiration for all the mature ladies out there, methinks.
Of course, her fave hat maker, Philip Somerville prefers to describe QEII as 'professional' – "the most professional hat wearer in the world" in fact. Now, I would love that job! Imagine waking up in the morning knowing that you were: 'The Most Professional Hat Wearer In The World' . No-one wears a hat more professionally than I, one could think. In the world, one could add. One could feel one's work was done with that, really….

Table of Contents
NPC stands for Non-Player Character -- as opposed to a PC. There are various types of NPCs at 'Souls, ranging from aNPCs to pNPCs.
General NPC Guidelines
Absentee NPCs (aNPC)
Absentee NPCs are radically different from all other NPCs. aNPCs are formerly active, played characters that have been dropped, but which still hang around pack territories. Placing an inactive character on aNPC status allows players to go on extended absences without having to come up with a reason for their character to leave and return ICly. aNPCs are presumed to be present and attending to their normal duties.
Specific Guidelines
Companion NPCs (cNPC)
Companion NPCs are "side characters" to individual, active, played character. Every played character of 'Souls is entitled to a single canine cNPC. cNPCs are generally closely related (familial, friendship, mateship, etc.) to their attached character, but can be of any sort of relationship: a random follower, a found puppy, etc.
Specific Guidelines
Youth NPCs (yNPC)
A Youth NPC is any puppy born into 'Souls via our Puppy Procedures (in other words: not all puppies are yNPCs). yNPCs may remain attached to their parent(s) indefinitely, and do not count as the parent character's cNPC.
Ownership of yNPCs
Formal OOC ownership of a yNPC is by the player who contributed the point. For example, if Parent A contributed two points to a litter and Parent B contributed one, then Parent A owns two of the resulting puppies and Parent B owns one.
yNPCs can retain yNPC status in the absence of their parent(s) only when formally ICly adopted by a third party. In these cases, formal OOC ownership of the yNPC passes from the parent(s) to the adopting party. For example, if a puppy's parent(s) die or leave the board without taking them with them, and the puppy is then formally adopted by another character -- the player of that character is the puppy's new owner. It is acceptable for a pack to be the third party; ownership in such cases would be the current leadership of the pack.
If the parent(s) are aNPC'd, their puppies are also aNPC'd.
Pack NPCs (pNPCs) / Board NPCs (bNPCs)
bNPCs and pNPCs are similar, but with a few key differences: namely, who owns the NPCs, and who can roleplay with them. The following stipulations, however, apply to both types of NPCs:
Pack NPCs (pNPCs)
Pack NPCs belong to a pack. Any member of that particular pack may roleplay with the pack NPC freely. pNPC specifications differ by pack -- please check with your pack's information or your leader(s). Show Example
Board NPCs (bNPCs)
Board NPCs belong to the 'Souls Assemblage. Any member of 'Souls is permitted to roleplay with them -- though all bNPCs have specific guidelines (e.g., their personality, purpose, general location, etc.), detailed further on their information pages and this must be adhered to.
Temporary NPCs (tNPC)
For personal and pack plots spanning multiple threads over a short period of time (0-5 weeks), up to five (5) temporary NPCs are permitted for use.
For example, a group of wolves from your character's former pack can come and attack your character and their family. The five tNPC limit remains regardless of how many played characters are involved in the plot.
A plot is defined as a set of multiple threads involving many of the same characters in related scenarios. tNPCs all belong to the same plot if they interact or otherwise contribute to the same events. This is true even if individual tNPCs aren't all of the same alliance or origin. See Example
You don't have to request permission to introduce tNPCs into the game; however, you must create an explicit note regarding their introduction to the game, either in the OOC section of the first post of each thread or by privately via PMing the 'Souls Assemblage.
If more than five NPCs or five weeks are needed, or if after the duration of the plot, you wish you re-use the same NPCs for a new plot, permission must be sought from the 'Souls Assemblage.
Minor NPCs (mNPCs)
Minor, "unimportant" canine NPCs are allowed within reason. You can assume there are plenty of loner NPC canines around 'Souls, and you are free to interact with them and use them in your posts. Minor NPCs are permitted on a single thread basis and cannot be used for multi-thread plots. Recurring minor NPCs are okay, but threads involving reoccurring minor NPCs cannot be related (e.g. not a multi-thread plot). Take care not to abuse mNPCs and threat them like cNPCs. Show Examples
Adoptable NPCs
A clarification regarding NPCs (regardless of their adoption availability): all NPCs must have an active character attachment (i.e., be a Companion NPC to an active character) or they must have an active pack attachment (i.e., be a Pack NPC within an active pack) or they must be a youth NPC (i.e., born into 'Souls via puppy procedures). In other words: there's no such thing as an "adoptable NPC" except that it's a pNPC, yNPC, or cNPC that is available for adoption. Players (and packs) may not create any NPCs beyond their companion or pack NPC allotment.

It's that time of year. Slay bells ringing, children singing…and the UKOUG Conference.
This year, I was lucky to get along to attend the last day in the company of my good friend Alan.
I love going to the Conference. You get the chance to see lots of great presentations about all sorts of things in the Oracle world.
Takeaways from this year? Well, apart from the stress-ball and the cuddly Rhino ( yes, we did have a wander through the exhibition hall as well), I learned quite a bit about Application Express.
Just in case they're struggling for an angle for APEX in the Oracle marketing department, how about :
"Application Express – Forms 3.0 for the Internet Age"
I suppose I'd better do some explaining fairly quickly before I am taken to task by any APEX aficionados who happen to be reading.
Back in the good old days, when I still had hair, Forms 3 was the character based interface for the Oracle database. A major advance on Forms 2.3, you were able to code actual PL/SQL right into the triggers. Of course, everything ran on the server back then. Forms, the database ( we don't talk about SQL*Reportwriter…ever !)
APEX has certain similarities to it's ancestor. The code is stored in the database itself and you can write PL/SQL in it. Of course, it is also "web-aware". It could easily be thought of as a UI for SQL and PL/SQL…without all that mucking about with Java.
Enough of this Oracle Tech naval gazing. The point of this post is that, if you've downloaded Oracle 11g XE, you will have APEX4.0 included. Due to the tiresome reluctance of software vendors to use major release numbers, you may have been under the misapprehension that APEX 4.1 was just a minor tweak. The truth is a rather different.
APEX is maturing rapidly. So, if you're running XE 11g on a Debian OS ( or even 10g XE), you may very well be interested in getting the latest version of APEX to have a play with…
NOTE – I ran this installation on 11g XE running on Mint.
I've tried to highlight any differences you may get when installing on 10gXE, but I haven't actually done the installation on this database version. Continue reading

DOVER — The Great Bay Municipal Coalition officially filed a motion for reconsideration after a judge's recent ruling declining to determine if the state Department of Environmental Services was required to follow the New Hampshire Administrative Rulemaking procedures in developing and imposing nutrient criteria for the Great Bay Estuary.
"The communities of the Great Bay Municipal Coalition believe they are entitled to a ruling by the court on whether the DES' numeric criteria for nitrogen in the Great Bay Estuary is in fact a rule under state law," Dover City Manager Michael Joyal wrote in an email.
Earlier this year, the coalition, comprised of Dover, Portsmouth, Rochester, Exeter and Newmarket, filed suit in Merrimack County Superior Court, saying DES failed to put the Numeric Nutrient Criteria for the Great Bay Estuary document, commonly known as the "2009 Criteria," into effect in June 2009, setting the water quality criteria for the nitrogen in the water.
The motion for reconsideration states, "Petitioners (the Great Bay Municipal Coalition communities) have shown that the 2009 Criteria area de facto rule which threaten to interfere or impair their legal rights and privileges to discharge into the Great Bay Estuary. Since the Court has already determined that the Petitioners have standing, they are entitled to a decision from the Court."
The coalition said once the document was created, DES declared the Great Bay Estuary had too much nitrogen, currently operating with 15 to 20 milligrams of nitrogen per liter. The coalition claims DES had too stringent of water quality standards, which are being followed by the federal Environmental Protection Agency.
To update the facilities to lower the amount of nitrogen in the estuary, the coalition communities would have to spend tens of millions of dollars, with upward of $40 million just in Dover alone. The EPA is suggesting in their permits that the communities must limit the nitrogen in the estuary to 3 milligrams per liter. Newmarket has already received its permit, and the remaining communities are expecting their permits within the next two years.
This requirement of lowering nitrogen comes after Dover hired Wright-Pierce Engineering to draft a design plan to decrease the city's nitrogen discharge from its plant. The proposed scientific plan proved decreasing nitrogen from its current operating level to 8 milligrams per liter would address the troubled health of the estuary and that 3 milligrams per liter was not necessary. However, once the EPA and NHDES administered a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Permit for Dover's treatment facility requiring almost $100 million in upgrades to reduce the amount of nitrogen being discharged into the Great Bay Estuary to three milligrams per liter, the coalition filed suit.
The court's decision from earlier this month states this to be a federal issue and that the EPA is the organization that would make the ultimate decision to harm the coalition and force them to pay for the costly updates to their water treatment facilities.
The motion for reconsideration states, "Both parties need the Court to determine whether the 2009 Criteria are an invalid rule or whether they can be used by DES as water quality criteria to determine the regulatory status of the Great Bay Estuary as 'impaired' for nitrogen as a matter of state law. Addressing the merits of the case would constitute an intelligent and useful decision which will be conclusive as to the ability of DES to enforce its regulatory program, including the imposition of restrictions in state permits, against the Petitioners (the Great Bay Municipal Coalition communities) under state law. Whether the federal government may impose restrictive nitrogen limits following appropriate federal procedures is not material to this dispute."

Third version
Before anyone else decides to talk about it, yeah, I'm pretty much gonna guarantee it being the mascot of BW's third version. No further discussion on this. Until we get the announcement and boxart. TTEchidna 20:28, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
- Unfair. I already did that.--Cold (talk) 20:41, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
What will be the name of the third game?
- Pokémon White Version Reshiram - Pokémon Black Version Zekrom - Pokémon Grey Version Kyurem
It could be, don't ya think?Sakas 19:11, 7 October 2010 (UTC)SakasFixe
- Didn't TTE just say "no further discussion on this"? That's speculation and belongs on the forums, not here. --AndyPKMN 19:14, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
You are bad for people. You want something related to "discussion" you'll have it: Where is the Official artwork of Ken Sugimori? Happy? - unsigned comment from SakasFixe (talk • contribs)
- There is no Sugimori artwork yet for the non-pre-release Pokemon. But that doesn't belong here on Kyurem's talk. 梅子❀✿ 22:41, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
"It may also be based on the Wyvern of Norse mythology, said to wreck havoc in Ragnarök, the end of the world, should it melt from the ice it was imprisoned in."
That's what I've been told. Anyone able to confirm/dismiss that? - unsigned comment from Yurtablemoron (talk • contribs)
- Nope, not true. - 050294 14:32, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
That's basically what Reshiram is (minus the ice) Ataro 21:51, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
I agree with the norsh myth theory also perhaps it has connections to Fimbulvetr? The harsh winter where men will wage ceaseless war against each other and brothers will kill each other= the two brothers using Regish and Zec sound plausible? Frosslass 12:47, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
Overworld Sprite
I don't think this sentence in the physiology section is necessary: "It should be noted that on its overworld sprite, the left part of its overall bodyparts is somehow broken and smaller than the right part." The smaller part is correct, sure, but it isn't broken--it's just smaller because of the perspective. Same goes for its forward-facing battle sprite. At the very least, "overall bodyparts" should be changed to just "body." Phantom♫Junkie 03:32, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
Out of curiosity, how is Kyurem a "Feelings Pokémon"? I think that 境界 kyoukai (boundary) would make more sense than 胸懐 kyoukai (heart/feelings). Though, there's the possibility that "Kyoukai" could be from 鏡 kyou (mirror) and 灰 kai (gray/grey/ash/griseous). 神奇超龍 08:34, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
- The in-game description, according to Veekun, is きょうかい . Compare it to Reshiram's はくよう (white yang) and Zekrom's こくいん (black yin), and we may find something. Eriorguez 06:41, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
Kyurem Origin
As Zekrom and Reshiram are both based on types of energy, is it possible that Kyurem is based on Cold Fusion? --Podunk 07:06, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
- Sigh... Cold Fusion has nothing to do with ice. It's a theoretical variation on a typical fusion reaction which can be done at or near ROOM TEMPERATURE. I removed this origin already, but it keeps getting added. --AndyPKMN 10:52, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
Kyurem's page says that it is an extraterrestrial Pokemon. But it isn't expressly stated that he arrived on that meteor- it's only a legend, same as Clefairy. Neither is there any mention of Kyurem's name in the game when discussing it. Shouldn't it say "may be an extraterrestrial Pokemon", or something similar? Soma K. 21:22, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
Kyurem's Tail Resembles.....
- Reshiram's Tail resembles a Jet Engine - Zekrom's Tail resembles an Electric Generator
But we still don't know what Kyurem's tail looks like. Any ideas?Duo2nd 02:25, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
- A Plug! look at how it's shaped and then look at the lightbulb things on it's wings Ataro 02:56, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
- Doesn't looks like one to me. :/ Duo2nd 08:44, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
- Looks like a plug to me - it's got three prongs, like this. --Poppy :3 15:52, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
- It is not quite like that image, it does have three prongs though it looks more like one of those plastic pizza tables they use to hold the box up then a plug... felinoel 19:45, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
- Could be a bunch of icicles (imagine the tail pointing down to the ground) --Shadowater 01:15, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Pokemon.jp Pokedex pic
I'm thinking it would be a good replacement for the current infobox picture, which not only is tiny, but comes up all pixellated in its file description area. I can't extract from a Flash-based site or upload here, but I know there's people who can. Frezgle 19:21, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
National PokeDex
Other than the event legendarie, Kyurem (And Landorus), according the the guide books, are NOT required to complete the National PokeDex. Why it is like this is what I d0on't lnow, since Kyurem can be caught in any copy of B/W, and Landorus not being required is also unusual because Tornadus and Thundurus are, which both ultimately unlock Landorus anyways. Would it be worth trivia for both of them? Shiramu Kuromu 14:50, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
shiny sprite
Kyurem is grey and it's shiny sprite is -black and white- with the eye color being a combined version of Zekrom's red eyes and Reshiram's blue eyes, notable? Nickvang 19:11, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
- I don't think, but wait for more opinions --SamuStar 21:05, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
It is currently the final officially-revealed Pokémon in National Pokédex order. Huh? --K4kirin 08:32, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
- Kyurem is the last Pokémon in the Pokédex. ★Jo the Marten★ ಠ_ಠ♥ 08:40, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
New Movie?
Oha Suta has revealed a teaser trailer for a movie, it appears that Kyurem and the Musketeer Quartet will be in it. Pokémon Movie 15-Kyurem VS. The Sacred Swordsman Teaser Trailer --Flying Bidoof 12:37, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
- We know, its in Kyurem's 'In the anime' section. and the page is already being made: M15 - unsigned comment from AquaMaster (talk • contribs)
Ideals, truth and dreams.
Drayden told me the third one (dreams) is also in this row (so it would be Kyurem's one). Adding? Nickvang 16:24, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
- Still speculation at the moment. Better to leave it out until is is officially associated with dreams. --SnorlaxMonster 16:40, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
Imprison Level
Do you consider it noteworthy that the levels at which Kyurem (and by extension Reshiram and Zekrom) attempt(s) to learn Imprison are 8 and 64? 8² = 64 and so the root of 64 is eight. Since the games draw some inspiration from mathematics, as seen in N, N's Themes and the boats in Castelia City this might be programmed in intentionally.
Renoir 23:19, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
New FormsLooks like Kyurem gets two new forms: RBK 23:21, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
- It's been confirmed that the formes are Black Kyurem and White Kyurem. Types are waiting for confirmation, although I've heard a couple websites saying that Black Kyurem is Dragon/Electric and White Kyurem is Dragon/Fire. --TrickyB 01:14, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
- The usual Bulbapedia protocol is to wait for official sources before we add new info. So until that happens we're gonna wait it out. --Pokemaster97 01:17, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
- Um isn't Pokemon Smash an official source?? Cuz the forms were revealed on there.RBK 01:19, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
- I've read that they will be Ice/Electric and Ice/Fire respectively, but that makes more sense. We must all wait and see...--×Rsrdaman× 01:20, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
- I was referring to the types not the forms themselves. --Pokemaster97 01:21, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
- They are going to be Ice/Electric and Ice/Fire, i've just realized. Firstly, look at the new logos, they have Ice crytals with the second types color on them. Also look at the full picture there is ice encroaching all over the old B/W background. Like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.--×Rsrdaman× 03:29, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

- I don't think it's appropriate to put the artwork for the new forms in the infobox for Kyurem until we know more about them. ThomasWinwood 09:41, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
- ^this. Masuda confirmed that Black Kyurem and White Kyurem are seperate Pokémon so I'm perplexed as to why Black Kyurem is even the infobox image on the Kyurem page. Ewkay 11:00, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
- He didn't really confirm anything but their names, the way he structured the sentence however could be taken either way. I think we should leave Black Kyurem and White Kyurem on the Kyurem page unless they come out and explicitly state that they are completely new Pokemon with new Pokedex numbers.ArchedThunder 14:38, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
- He said specifically though that they are the names of the new Pokémon. But to reply to Kenji-girl, I'm mostly trying to apply logic to it. Im not giving random-ass guesses, but giving logical, evidence based ones, to better the page.--×Rsrdaman× 15:08, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

"There is placeholder data for an alternate form of Kyurem in Pokémon Black and White. There was the same type of placeholder data for Rotom, Giratina, and Shaymin in Diamond and Pearl." - Could an admin expand on this now, explaining how its two new forms have been revealed? ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 09:52, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
I also think it would be worth noting that Kyurem is the first Pokemon to be the version mascot of two games in the same generation.ArchedThunder 12:46, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
- Oh and of course editing the top of the page to say he is the version mascot of both Black 2 and White 2.ArchedThunder 13:03, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
- Until new info comes out I don't think that either of those are going to be added for now. Frozen Fennec 17:05, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
Art Descriptions
For Kyurem's alternate formes, why does it say "Art by Ken Sugimori from Black 2", etc.? For every other released Pokémon, it says something like "Art by Ken Sugimori from Ruby and Sapphire", even for a version exclusive like Groudon. ~Enervation 21:30, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
- Mostly because I was confused by the switch. D: There would be three image switches, and two different captions. I didn't want it to end up with BW art and saying "Art from Black and White 2", and I also didn't want to be redundant and have Black White 2 be listed twice. But I have nothing against someone using both titles for the artworks. ★Jo the Marten★ ಠ_ಠ♥ 21:34, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
In the trivia, what do you mean by "placeholder data for alternative formes"? RedYoshi 22:15, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
Kyurem had no alternate forms in BW, when a pokemon has no alternate forms they are given a value of Zero in that "section", Kyurem had a Value of one implying that we would see more forms.ArchedThunder 22:46, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
I suggest splitting the article into white kyurem,black kyurem,and kyurem.But not until we know more the first two.--Supermon 12:44, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
- I think that's what we plan to do...--ForceFire 12:52, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
- They are simply Formes, and we have never given alternate Formes their own articles before. If we do, we will be giving Origin Forme Giratina and Sky Forme Shaymin articles too. --SnorlaxMonster 12:56, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
- While I agree that simply giving each form maybe a small section on the page, wouldn't Primal Dialga count as an alternate forme of Dialga? Frozen Fennec 12:57, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
- Primal Dialga ultimately counts as a separate character, not a separate form. Luna Tiger * the Arc Toraph 13:05, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
- Ah, alright then. Frozen Fennec 13:07, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
- Primal Dialga ultimately counts as a separate character, not a separate form. Luna Tiger * the Arc Toraph 13:05, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
- Forms that appear to be the fusion of Kyurem and Zekrom/Reshiram. For all we know, they could be getting treated like entirely new Pokemon instead of forms, with their own Pokedex entries and everything. At this point it is all speculation --Shadowater 18:49, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
- I agree with you there, Snorlax! If we did give each forme its own page, we'd have to have a page for each of Deoxys' different formes, as well as Rotom, Arceus (though it technically doesn't change formes, just coloring and type), Castform, and all of the other Pokémon that have the ability to change forme, which would seriously be going WAY overboard!

I wasn't thinking about that when I suggested it.I guess it is a bad idea.Except we still don't know if they actually are forms.--Supermon 22:39, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
- I know Serebii is a seconhand source, and wouldn't dream of asking you to post this on the article without anything better, but he says they are just alternate formes. --HeroicJay 23:25, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
- They have never added a Pokemon midway through a generation. If this was Gen VI they would be advertising that.ArchedThunder 15:27, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
What about arceus?--Supermon 23:01, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
- Arceus was in the code for Diamond and Pearl. It was not added mid-way through the generation. Werdnae (talk) 03:33, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
I thought they were not forms of Kyurems? They said it was two new/different Pokemon? Also, should you use this picture on the article, as this is what it shows in the anime? like you do with the Castform, and Rotom? [1]? AquaMaster 19:52, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
- Masuda tweeted and stated that they were called 'Black Kyurem' and 'White Kyurem'. I never heard anyone mention that they were different Pokemon. It's Funktastic~! 20:10, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
- We hardly know anything for sure. We know for sure they're Kyurem, and that's it. They've mentioned "separate Pokémon" but if I recall, they said the same thing about almost every form (Rotom for example). So until we know more than just what they look like, and the names of the games, let's not jump any guns, sharks, etc.. ★Jo the Marten★ ಠ_ಠ♥ 20:19, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
- we should use [2] this as the main picture though, cause this is the form which is in the anime etc, can it be changed?AquaMaster 20:31, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
- I think from the trailer, there was a legend which Kyurem was lent the Power from Zekrom and Reshiram under circumstances, from what I can understand, in which the Swordsman did not agree. AquaMaster 14:43, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
Anime images
There's now anime pics for White and Black Kyurem. XVuvuzela2010X 20:17, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
Someone who has permission (probably an admin) should add Kyurem to the "Version Mascot" category, since that's about the only thing we know for sure about these new games.SidStarkiller 22:24, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
New forme names
The new names for the formes have to be added into the article. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 22:27, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
Forme Typing?
I saw on Serebii that the types for each of kyurems formes has been revealed. Aaaaaaaaaand it's the same. So what should be said about this?
- They should put them down. Plus, Black Kyurem's 10'10", while White Kyurem's 11'10". Plus, both formes are 325kg (716.5lb)KirbyRider 00:22, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
- None of that info will be added without an official source. We will not under any circumstances permit theft of information from Serebii. Werdnae (talk) 03:04, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
- The information wasn't from Serebii, they just reported on it, here ya go. ArchedThunder 23:12, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
- None of that info will be added without an official source. We will not under any circumstances permit theft of information from Serebii. Werdnae (talk) 03:04, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

I recently say a picture of a monster called "Wendigo," a winter spirit of starvation and cannibalism. It also looks like White Kyurem. Could White Kyurem be based off it? the winter part reflects Kyurem's ice type, the starvation part could be why White Kyurem is so skinny, and the cannibalism could be why Kyurem is said to eat other Pokemon and people. Here is a picture of a Wendigo, from myexistenz.com [3] Khimerami 18:25, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
- I don't think it's related to the Wendigo. The Wendigo is basically a monster from Indian legends (or so I have heard). It has differing descriptions, and I've seen a lot of other pictures depicting something different. Pringles 19:27, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
- No, Wendingo isn't related to the Indian legends. * Pokégeek 19:40, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry, that's what I thought. Or so I heard. Pringles 02:57, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
- Legendary Pokémon are based on all sorts of myths from various cultures, why should that matter? Anyway, wikipedia mentions that the Wendigo mainly possessed or transformed humans, and especially prefers cannibals. It doesn't really mention the Wendigo itself carrying off humans away to eat, which is more or less what Kyurem did. So I'm not sure if there is that much relevance. Rai Marshall 03:04, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
- The Wendigo comes from North American Native legends --Shadowater (talk) 20:20, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Are those ropes connecting Black/White Kyurem's generator thing to its back? Or is that energy? It's seen on the box art for Black and White 2. Pringles 22:37, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
- The spikes on its shoulders extend and go into the "plugs" on its tail. ★Jo the Marten★ ಠ_ಠ♥ 22:39, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
Different cries?
If you watch the third video here: http://www.filb.de/1772 when Black Kyurem is sent out, it's using Zekrom's cry, rather than Kyurem's. Dilophosaurus Rex 09:25, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
White Kyurem forme change method revealed through M15 trailer?
This trailer from the official Pokémon movie website shows Kyurem using an attack involving fire, which is speculated to be Ice Burn. After use, an orange ball of energy appears within its tail, it flies upward and becomes surrounded in an orange stream of energy and emerges as White Kyurem. Since it is from an official source (however, not directly linked to the games)i think it is worth mentioning. Renoir 17:05, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
- Since we don't know if it is Ice Burn and what caused it, it is best to leave it for now. --SnorlaxMonster 11:47, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
White Kyurem's Picture
Should we really use White Kyurem's picture for the entirety of the page? I mean... regular Kyurem seems more neutral. DevaGolgotha 22:24, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
warning at top of page
the warning says the change only effects the artwork, however when under White Kyurem the high changes from 3.3 meters to 3.6. You might want to change that to avoid confusion. Yamitora1 02:30, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
Origin section
"Given that its Japanese name contains mu, it may be based on the koan mu." From the transliteration in the infobox at the top, the Japanese name doesn't seem to have "mu" in it. ~Enervation 20:19, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
- It actually does have "mu" in it. While Kyurem is the official romanization of Kyurem's Japanese name, it's actually written as "Kyuremu" in Japanese. --It's Funktastic~! 21:38, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
You guys have the wrong palette for Kyurem's party sprite
I'm assuming you guys used the Veekun rip. That rip uses an incorrect palette ID. Notice how the thing on Kyurem's head that's supposed to be yellow is purple on Veekun's icon rip. I checked my game, it uses a different palette than Veekun's incorrect rip, and the thing is yellow, unlike the bad rip where its purple. Here's a more accurate rip: http://www.spriters-resource.com/ds/pokemonblackwhite/sheet/37497 (scroll to the bottom to see Kyurem) Chaos Rush (talk) 13:38, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
It says "its tail appears to be some sort of propulsion device; exactly what it is based on is unclear, though it may be a damaged turbine". It looks like a plug, likely as a reference that Kyurem absorbs energy instead of generating it (unlike Reshiram and Zekrom) to get more power (the new formes). Metalizard (talk) 04:17, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
- That is likely. Heat is a form of energy, so cold is the absence of that energy. Pardon if I sound rude, but this is discussed in the article, in the Origin section under Trivia. It does not give the exact information you pointed out, however. Kyro-Dizzy (talk) 09:04, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
Formes have second highest base stat totals and second highest attack/special attack
Is it worth noting this, considering that it's apparently only two thirds of the full Pokemon? Or is it something that isn't worth noting at all? --Shadowater (talk) 20:18, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
Hourly changes in article also changing the movesets?
I noticed that as of this moment, with the article displaying White Kyurem, it's only showing the moveset for it, with no means to view the movesets for Black or regular Kyurem. I understand the point behind the alternating images to show off the different forms, but this is getting to the point where it makes the article less informative by making it impossible to look up complete information on the pokemon without checking back at three different times. I'm not even remotely familiar with how all the coding for this works, but isn't there a way that it could be set up so that all the moveset information would still be accessible via link or such for the alternate forms regardless of which one is displayed? Because speaking as a casual user who likes to be able to quickly look up information from time to time, this is frankly obnoxious. It's not just an aesthetic change- which would be fine- but actually making it impossible to view a thorough and accurate article at one time. --ACDragonMaster (talk) 01:47, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
- Actually, I believe the switch only switches the learnset visible when you first get on the page. You can get to the other movesets by pressing the small "show" buttons next under the moveset section of the article. --Pokemaster97 01:51, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
In the same vein, I came to this page just to compare the artwork of all three forms, but that can't be done with the current set-up. I cleared the cache which gave me one other artwork, and went into edit the page to get the filenames so I could merely link to them, but they're not there. To this I say, why not implement a gallery section for pages that have this coding to reflect different forms? As also a casual user agreeing with the above poster, I feel it's a good idea in theory but makes finding what you want more difficult. - +DeadlySlashSword+ 01:14, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

- I would not have known to have looked there - again, I bring up the point of ease of accessibility for the massive casual userbase, which you guys haven't touched on. While I thank you for pointing me where I wanted to go, you shouldn't have had to. I should have been able to have found it myself without a ton of digging and searching through links and collapsible boxes. - +DeadlySlashSword+ 00:53, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

Patch 3.2 BOP Items Trade
A very nice feature was added to the game with the latest PTR patch, according to the interface files and a few in-game tests you can now trade BOP items with members of your raid who participated in the kill. This change will probably considerably lower the amount of GM petitions each day.
- BIND_TRADE_TIME_REMAINING = "You may trade this item with players that were also eligible to loot this item for the next %s."; -- Time remaining to trade a bound item. Example: You may trade this item with players that were eligible to loot this item for the next 1 hour 30 minutes.
This is awesome - no more pestering GMs over Master Looter errors and similar things!

The carefree days of summer are here. But it can be difficult to feel confident in shorts and bathing suits when your skin is pale. An actual sun tan, which brings along health risks and premature aging, is not a suitable solution.
Lavera has the answer to your pale skin woes with New Self Tanning Lotion. Same great look and feel of the original, with a few added benefits.
Lavera Self Tanning Lotion is nontoxic, fast-acting, and super natural looking. You do not have to worry about streaks, orange-ness, or harsh chemicals with this natural sunless tanner. Made with Organic Soy extracts and naturally-derived sugars our tanner works by creating a nontoxic reaction on the top layer of skin, creating a tanned look. No need for two separate products, our new self tanner is designed for both face and body.
We have added Organic Macadamia Nut oil to our Self Tanning Lotion for superior hydration and skin-smoothing action. Macadamia Nut oil is closely matched to our skin's own sebum, making it suitable for all skin types. This oil is lightly hydrating and lends a "cushiony" effect to skin, creating a soft and supple look. Macadamia Nut oil also holds regenerative properties and high amounts of antioxidants, providing anti-aging action.
The new formulation is faster absorbing and carries a lighter citrusy scent. Simply apply to clean, exfoliated skin and allow a few minutes to absorb before dressing. Results show in just a few hours and fade away naturally.
A great looking tan, healthy ingredients, and no sun damage. Looks like you've found your summer staple in New Lavera Self Tanning Lotion for Face & Body.

Working gloves are main equipment for any DIY enthusiast and professional. They are designed to protect your hands against abrasions, cuts and other injuries. In addition, they must also guarantee comfort and freedom of movements. The cotton knitted material is responsible for the latter. Harmless to the skin, it doesn't cause allergic reactions and ensures ventilation.

Cotton knitted material in working gloves
Using hose clamps
Hose clamps is a solution commonly used for connections in water, air and gas systems, in gardens and automotive industry. Because of difficult conditions, in which we must work, hose clamps from TOPEX are manufactured from high quality steel (SS 200). This guarantees high durability, resistance to corrosion and difficult weather conditions (acid-proof).
Advantages of technical chalk
Technical chalk can be widely used. Owing to the modified chemical composition, it leaves more durable mark than a traditional chalk and allows simple and quick marking. The chalk can be used on dry, wet and hot surfaces, such as metal, concrete, asphalt, wood, ceramics, plastics and glass.
How is the axe built?
The axe is one of the oldest tools invented by a man. invisible and ensures stable construction of the furniture. The secret of its functionality lies in its simple design. The two main elements of this tool are: a handle and head. The axe head itself consists of 7 elements - the face, ear, cone, cheek, front, feet and nose. Depending on their profiling, the axe may feature varying functionalities.
Phasing of chisels
Phasing is otherwise shaping the side surfaces of the chisel. It affects the cross-section of the tool and its application. Basically three types of chisels can be distinguished in terms of their phasing: chisels with lateral phasing, convergent phasing and without phasing. The first type of chisels features light and delicate blade and enables to perform more precise work.
Pin connection
Connections widely used in cabinetwork. The technique that enables construction of carcass and case (or cabinet) furniture. The connection is made using beech or oak dowels with different diameters as well as carpenter's glue. For more durable connection and better glue bound, the dowels are often carved throughout their entire length. A well performed pin connection is invisible and ensures stable construction of the furniture.
Phillips Screw
The screw was patented by John P. Thompson in 1933, however it was Phillips Screw Company, which made it so popular. Owing to its cross-incision of the screw head, Thompson's invention facilitates work to a great extent. Its special profile shows self-centering properties, which makes it easier to align the tool and prevents it from coming off during installation works.
A hide in working gloves
Abrasions and injuries of the hands are common during DIY works, therefore it is worth to equip yourself with indispensable protective gloves. Gloves with hide-lined working parts are useful in more demanding repair and construction, reloading or ordering works. The split – that is the inner, porous layer of the leather – is usually used for gloves. Its texture increases adherence, thus ensuring secure and stable grip.
Popular types of expansion plus
Expansion plugs are one of the most frequently used joining methods. Their basic division should be known. Universal expansion plugs - available in various shapes and sizes, universal plugs operate on the principle of expansion. Hammer-in plugs - they allow very quick installation of plasterboards, wooden strips, sections or cable and pipe clamps. Screw anchors for soft materials - used for walls.
Household rust removal methods
If you haven't properly preserved your tools or other metal items, with time it will be covered with a red tarnish, also known as rust. There are several household methods to effectively remove rust from metal items. The first method is to use vinegar. Another method involves the use of salt and lemon juice.
Gypsum putty without lumps?
Do you want to patch up a crack in a wall or fill a hole left after you removed a wall plug? If you do, then you will certainly need gypsum putty, but the end result will largely depend on its "smoothness." Homogenous, thick gypsum putty, without any lumps, will result in a perfect appearance of the repair. The key to a perfect homogeneity of the putty is proper order in which the individual components are added.
How to remove old wallpaper?
Removing old wallpaper is not a difficult task, but it may be time consuming. Before the work, one must properly protect the floor and the mop boards with plastic sheets and remove all nails and wall plugs. Then the old wallpaper must be softened and the structure of the adhesive must be loosened. This can be done with special preparations available in DIY stores. One can also use warm water with some vinegar.
Electrical cables and boxes - what should be the spacing?
When installing an electrical system, one must ensure proper location of electrical cables, boxes, and switches. Cables should be installed 30 cm away from the floor and the ceiling and 15 cm from door and window frames. The same rule applies to electrical boxes and sockets.
Construction silicone - types and properties
Silicones are an indispensable element of every workshop. Basically, two types of silicones can be differentiated – acid and neutral. The division depends on a hardening method and conditions an intended purpose of a given agent. In the hardening process, acid silicones (acetate) release acid compounds, thus they cannot be used for joining metals and concrete.
A method for creaking wood floor (talcum)
Wood is a natural material, which reacts to changes in temperature and moinsture. It sometimes leads to unpleasant effects – creaking of wood floors, for example. An unpleasant sound can be eliminated using talcum. Apart from talcum, you can also use baking soda or powdered graphite.
Tool storage
The most frequently used tool storage system are toolboxes. Owing to the system of chambers and containers, TOPEX toolboxes allow to order both tools and equipment (bits, bolts, screws), which translates into work efficiency.
Tools for electric installers
The basic tools in the equipment of an electric installer are pliers, both for cable cutting and for removing cable isolation. Screwdrivers are also essential, only specialized and adapted for operation at high voltages (e.g. up to 1000 V).
Socket wrenches – what to choose?
It is important that the wrenches are solid and durable. TOPEX offers wrenches made of chromium and vanadium steel. The alloy increases the resistance of sockets to abrasion, which in turn increases their life. A kit should offer as many sockets, bits and accessories as possible. This will make us prepared for any challenge.
The correct crimping of cable terminals.
A right tool is most important when crimping cable terminals. TOPEX pliers for cable crimping (32D410) is adapted for work with insulated and non-insulated cable terminals. It is worth to pay attention to the stiffness of the tool construction, which translates to the precision of connections produced.
Which bit to use – or how to select a right screwdriver?
A proper fitting of a screwdriver to the groove on a screw head allows to minimalize abrasion both on the groove and tool tip. It is worth to invest in a kit of screwdrivers of the most popular bit sizes and shapes. A right choice of a bit allows for a full use of a hand force when tightening/unscrewing screws/bolts.
How to precisely measure a room before a renovation?
Are you planning a renovation or a flat décor change? Make sure to precisely measure all rooms, before you buy new furniture. Steel roll-up measuring tapes are perfect for such measurements. They come in different lengths depending on your needs. Measuring tapes with automatic locks are most comfortable while tapes coated with nylon are most durable.
How to facilitate the tightening of a screw?
Right tools and accessories are most important, if you want to facilitate your work. Remember about a comfortable grip – if a screwdriver lies well in your hand, your work will be more pleasant and effective.

I previously used a groin protector in kickboxing but that still hurt when you take a kick.
Most groin protectors will not work in Krav Maga, which is very heavy groin-kick oriented. What makes a good groin protector?
I've been training in (and recently teaching) Krav Maga for a while, and groin kicks are a regular occurrence. From my experience, it really doesn't matter all that much which cup you use, as long as you check it regularly, it shouldn't break spontaneously. Cups will usually crack first. Even if you wear a cup, it's still gonna hurt, you just have to get used to it. The difference is whether or not there is any real damage being done.
There are a few things to make sure of to eliminate the risk of injury:
Besides that, just make sure that whatever you buy has good reviews. And get used to the idea of getting kicked hard in the groin. It's gonna happen a lot, but as long as you are wearing proper groin protection, and you check it regularly, it shouldn't do any real damage.
I use Shock Jock compression shorts with the added cup. How would it handle a full force knee to the groin? No idea, just as I have no idea how well my mouth guard would handle a full force elbow to my chin. It does handle the level of force used in my training, and I have caught some pretty good shots.
Muay Thai steel cups are the only way to go. Anything else has the potential (small, but still potential) of breaking when hit hard enough, and worst case scenario you get your foreskin ripped along with other such unpleasantness. They're also almost always too narrow, so it's easy to get one of your testicles caught between the cup and your thigh, which is actually more painful than just being hit.
If you don't like the 'g-string' aspect of Thai cups, Ring to Cage makes a supporter that goes with a steel cup that should also work fine (I haven't tried it, I wear my cup when I expect the intensity to be high so I don't notice any minor discomfort, so the traditional design doesn't bother me).

Playing tall
Somebody asked me recently how Colorado's Cody Hawkins was doing as a 5-foot-11 quarterback. It made me think of the idiotic question once posed to Doug Williams: "How long have you been a black quarterback?"
Wondering about Cody is different. Considering that many college linemen these days are as tall as power forwards, it's a legitimate football question.

Hasbro recycles the Gelagrub Clone into a generic ROTS clean white "Vintage" version everyone can army build. VC15 Clone Trooper is now ready for perusal in our Image Bank!
If you missed out on the Wal-Mart exclusive Dewback, here's your chance to army build with the new VC14 Sandtrooper. We have to admit that seeing the cardback featuring a POTF2 Sandtrooper on an orange card waxes nostalgic. Can you believe it's been 15 years?
Where the master falls short, the apprentice shines. VC13 Anakin Skywalker is clearly the best iteration of the chosen one yet. Superb sculpt, super articulation, and soft goods that work. Heck, they even nailed the hair.
While the devil wears Prada, VC12 Darth Sidious certainly has a penchant for faux fur. The head sculpt is amazing and kudos on the removal cowl, but the execution of the felt soft goods jacket falls a little short. Sort of like a particularly cranky bag lady look. What makes sense with a Gamorrean Guard doesn't necessarily work with the evil despot of a galaxy far, far away. Just sayin, Big H.
"Ain't Nothing like the real thing, Baby" is a tune that Jodo Kast should have listened to when taking on the reputation and identity of one Boba Fett. This K-Mart exclusive improves upon the 2008 version with a removable helmet and new headsculpt as well as an updated paint app.

csespiritu brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 54 Designs von 10 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Triple Point Security
Triple Point Security is a start-up IT security consulting practice that focuses on securing cutting-edge IT. Our staff is intelligent, inherently technical, and business oriented; and driven by value and common sense. Triple point is a scientific term where the 3 phases of matter (solid, liquid, and gas) are in equilibrium; in practice, we're applying this concept to an organization's business, IT, and security. The company is community-based and philanthropic, utilizing local/regional resources and businesses for our needs and, in turn, giving back to meaningful organizations that are/have supported our staff. Our clients include the commercial and government space as well as non-profits.
I have a biology, chemistry, and mathematics background which plays heavily into the logo design.
General public
Going with the triple point theme, the attached Concept.jpg sits well with me as I like the triple point intersection of the negative space as well as the arrows.
The attached Base Shape.gif is the general shape I would like the logo to take, wider on the perimeter and tapering toward the center.
For colors, the attached Blue and Gray Color.jpg and Orange Color.jpg are roughly the colors I would like to utilized. Similar to the attached Concept.jpg, the gray will serve as the "backside" color of the arrows with the blue in the front.
I would also like to incorporate an orange sphere behind where the arrows converge using the Orange Color.jpg, think nucleus of an atom and the arrows are the path of the electrons.
For the company name, the attached Company Name.jpg is a good example with Triple Point on the top line in logo-matching blue and Security on the bottom line in logo-matching orange, right and left justified. I'd like the font to be a bit more "techie" or "futuristic."
I would like to see a 3D and a 2D version of the logo as I'm not sure which direction to go yet.

Jeremysaid necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 18 diseños de 10 diseñadores freelance.
Power Home Technologies http://www.powerhometech.com
My name is Jeremy Smith. I am the VP of Marketing for Power Home Technologies. We are the largest Vector Security Dealer in the country. On average we install over 800 new security systems per month. We have been recognized as the 39th largest security company in the USA by SDM Magazine in 2010. Power Home Technologies, Inc has grown tremendously over the past couple of years with service locations in Georgia (GA), Florida (FL), Maryland (MD), New York (NY), North Carolina (NC), South Carolina (SC), Tennessee (TN), Texas (TX), and Virginia (VA). Their ultimate goal is "To Make Sure Bad Things Don't Happen To Good People".
My background is in internet marketing coupled with conversion optimization. I strongly believe that in order to increase your bottom line, not only do you need traffic, but you have to have the right user interface to the customer along with good design to be effective in conversions.
Our target audience is:
- Typically Male/Female about a 40/60 ratio of parents who come to our site looking for information on home security systems.
- The age range is typically between 28 and 45
- Average income of about 60 k for the household.
- We have defined geo based markets the center around the eastern US and we are in 12 states with 15 different office locations.
- Affluence: This audience will typically be incentivized by discounts, special offers, internet offers, etc.
Typically a customer is inquiring about more information and/or shopping for pricing. In a service based market, the conversion to call is much higher than to submit a form, however our best and most cost effective lead acquisition technique is to have a user fill out the form. This in turn funnels into our customized CRM and is directed to the appropriate sales manager to manage the lead to closure. Analytics shows us that pricing and locations are amongst the two hottest items that are clicked on the main page.
Home Page Redesign
1. Need to use the current logo
2. Need to use the current color scheme as to fit the colors of the rest of the site.
3. You can be creative with the navigation and layout formatting of the front page. We can always change the header to have a new navigation
4. Need to include the latest blogs on the page for constant content updating.
5. Want to promote somehow that we are on Facebook and Twitter and active on these networks as well. (however they are for more of a culture promotion than anything else)
6. The form is a necessity on the index page and in plain view. If you look at other home security sites you will see this is consistent all the way throughout the site. This form may even need to be above the fold.
7. Was considering having banner rotation at the top to go through different types of offers that are clickable to landing pages.
8. Video can be prominent if determined valuable to the design.
Everything else is open to interpretation.

Christina Jackson, Ph.D. Chicago Campus
"I encourage students to be active
and engaged in their own learning."
Christina Jackson, Ph.D.
Christina Jackson, Ph.D.
Core Faculty, Clinical Mental Health Counseling
When I teach, I encourage students to be active and engaged in their own learning. I practice critical thinking and demonstrate how it can be used in other areas of life. I assess and monitor progress. I respect the diverse learning styles of various students. And I learn and incorporate new teaching methods as often as possible. To achieve these goals, I rely on my personal and professional strengths to take an active role in my students' learning.
I'm at Adler because I support the institution's mission of social justice, just as the University supports my values.
Please email or call me (312.662.4305) if you have questions or would like more information about me.

Hope this is OK to post here...
Hey so my wife and I are intrigued by the low home prices in the suburbs around Atlanta. Seeing as how neither of us has ever been to Georgia, I was hoping that there might be some CC'ers from around there who could tell me A) what they think of the area as far as weather, activities, etc., and B) what the economy is like in terms of job availability, taxes, commuting traffic, etc., C) What are some good neighborhoods, and, more importantly, areas to avoid (high crime, run-down infrastructure, etc).
Also, I work in the engineering and construction field, so if there is anyone who can offer specific info about that, I'd appreciate it.
I know that Mark of Falworth lives in the area, and that there are some nearby Lego conventions, so at least I'm covered in that regard
