Ecuador limits to the north with Colombia, to the south and to the east with Peru, and to the west with the Pacific Ocean. There are three well different geographical zones. The first one is the Sierra or high lands of the Andes that go from the Colombian border, in the north, to Peru in the south. In this region there are two mountain range: the Oriental and the Westerner. The second region is the Coast, a coastal plain between the Andes and the Pacific. In this region the large plantations of bananas they are found, cocoa, coffee and sugar. The third one is the East, formed by the high basin of the Amazon River, and that has large rivers surrounded by forest extensions. This zone, though is approximately the 36% of the Ecuadorian territory, only is inhabited by the 3% of the population. The Archipelago of the Galapagos Islands situated to 1000 km. of the continent in the Pacific Ocean also belongs to Ecuador.
By being located in the parallel 0, Ecuador does not have well definite stations. The four regions present different climatic conditions, you determined by their altitude, location and, chiefly, by the presence of the mountain range of the Andes and the maritime influence. The Coast of the Pacific has a rainy station among December to May and another drought from June to November. The temperature oscillates between the 23 and 36 °C. (73 and 97° F) The Andes, they have a rainy climate and cold from November to April and dry from May to October. Their temperature is between the 13 and the 18°C. (55 and 64°F) In the Amazonia, with temperatures between 23 and 36 °C (73 and 97°F), the station is rainy and humid from January to September and drought from October to December. Turtles offer a temperate climate with temperatures between 22 and 32°C (72 and 90° F)
To date they have been described for the Ecuador 369 species, of which 30, that is to say the 8.13%, they are endemic: 12 species are found in Turtles, 12 more in the Andean region and the dispersed remainder in the Coast and the East.
In the continental Ecuador 1578 species of birds exist and in the Galapagos Islands other 38 that are endemic of this place. On the whole 1616 species. With relation to the remainder of countries of the world, the Ecuador is located in fourth place. Approximately the 84% of birds are residents, the remainders are migratory species.
Currently, the diversity of Ecuadorian plants is very large; it is estimated that 20 000 species exist, including ferns and plants with seed. According to the Catalogue of Vascular Plants of Ecuador (1999), prepared for more than 200 scientists, * up to now 15306 species of plants have been described, which they are found placed in the herbariums of the entire world.
Ecuador counts on one of the better internal air transportations in the region. The prices vary according to the distance and to the service. The most long flight inside our hard country around 45 min, excepting the Galapagos Islands, to which arrives in an hour and a half, from Quito or Guayaquil.

Watauga River Fishing Report |

Wautaga Wild on Blue WingsThe Watauga Tailwater is having thick BWO hatches starting from 10:30 am and going until 2:30 everyday. We are using a smaller fly on the Watauga, it is a size 20 cupped wing parachute emerger dry fly. The bite can be very subtle as they gently sip it from the surface and then the next one will attack it like a shark on a feeding frenzy. We are also seeing good generation schedules allowing us to float and throw streamers on the upper river. Nothing like seeing that big shadow come up behind your streamer and then the white of their mouth as it opens and eats your fly. Randy Ratliff |
River Information
The next door neighbor to the South Holston is the Watauga River. A few short miles separate these two waterways, and though they are close in proximity, the fishing experience is much different. The Watauga River flows through the cities of Elizabethton and Johnson City which gives the scenery around this river a much more urban feel than its counterpart. It is actually possible to park at a fast food joint, get a burger to go, and step out of the shop and nearly be in the water.

Watauga Flows Up, Streamer Time
The Watauga is getting lots of water pushed through Wilbur and Watauga Dam and this is not allowing us to fish in the Quality Zone on the lower river, but this is a good thing. We are floating the upper stretches of the river and having great days with Midges and deep nymphs using Copper Johns, San Juan Worms and Zebra Midges. Now that the TVA is giving us good consistent flows, it will be the tossing streamers from now through the second week of March.
Watauga Low & Good
The Watauga is not seeing much in the way of generation, they are installing a water intake for a new water treatment plant for Elizabethton. The river is fishing very well, we are seeing Cranflies, Midges and now the October Caddis are showing up. The fishing for the past week has been days filled with dry fly fishing all day. The river is transitioning into winter mode of hatches so we are also starting to see some Blue Wing Olives on those days of rain.
Randy Ratliff
Watauga fishing great at the moment.
The Watauga Tailwater is fishing great for this time of year, we normally are in the "Dog Days" of our summer heat zone, but we are currently in a very comfortable temperature range keeping the waters cooler. The heavy rains we had in July replenished the water supply and has the fish feeling very comfortable.
We are seeing various hatches throughout the day, Cranflies, Sulphurs, BWO's, and a Slate Grey Drake. The bite is better in the morning for numbers of fish, and the afternoon has been when the bigger fish are feeding under the overhanging trees and in the bigger back eddies.
There is also a good population of the stripers running up out of the lake all the way up to the Blevins Road TWRA ramp. They range in size from ten pounds all the way up to near thirty pounds. We had the best view of one of these thirty (30) pounder stripers trying to eat the twenty-inch rainbow the client was landing. It made for some heart stopping action as the rainbow made a screaming run away from the boat, especially when you have on a size 18 Zebra Midge on 6x tippet.
As we get closer to the fall seaon the TVA will be dropping the lake levels and this will bring out the big boys and our then it will be throwing articulated streamers for the big browns and bows.
Randy Ratliff
Troutfishers Guide Service
Watauga full of water.
The caddis hatch is mostly over this year, but there are still a few hatching in a few spots, and there are always millions of caddis nymphs on the rocks, especially in the middle & lower sections of the river. Caddis nymphs are effective year-round on the Watauga.
With all the rain we've been having lately, TVA has been running a lot of water, mostly in the afternoons. This is only good for the striper anglers on the bottom end of the river (see below). On very-rainy days, the Doe River & Stoney Creek have also been dumping quite a bit of mud into the river, making it tough or nearly-impossible on the lower end; if this happens, try fishing above these areas or else wait for a dry day or two.
We are approaching the time when the lighter-colored bugs (brown, tan, yellow, etc.) are appearing. On warmer-days there have already been a few yellow or cream-colored craneflies hatching, especially in the afternoons. If you're fishing one of these hatches & know you have the right pattern, try giving your fly a twitch or two once in a while & you may have more success.
The usual attractor-nymphs (copper johns, hare's ears, pheasant-tails, etc.) and small midge-patterns have been effective this month, particularly in the mornings. Midges hatch year-round in the Watauga, and small larvae, pupae, and adults can be effective; try patterns such as the WD-40, Jujubee midge, etc. in sizes 18-24; tan & grey & black have been effective fly-colors lately.
Sulphurs beginning to Emerge
Fishing pretty well on bead heads and midges; a few sulphurs have been spotted but unfortunately not in the numbers needed to get the trouts' attention.

The skeletal system is the system that supports us and gives us our shape. Two main structures form the skeletal system: cartilage and bone. Cartilage is largely composed of water and contains no nerves or blood vessels. There are three types of cartilage. Hyaline cartilage provide support with flexibility and resistance. It is the most abundant cartilage. Hyaline cartilage is the cartilage that covers the bone ends at movable joints, connect the ribs to the sternum, form the skeleton of the larynx or voice box, reinforce the passageways of the respiratory system, and forms the end of our nose. Elastic cartilage found in only two locations of the skeletal system which are supporting the external ear and forming the epiglottis. This cartilage is able to stretch and bend repetitively without braking or tearing. Fibrocartilages are cartilages that act as pads to soften the pressure that is exerted from the bones. This cartilage is found in the knee and forms the discs that are between the vertebrae. Bone provide other important functions for us other than giving shape to the body. For one, they provide a hard framework that is able to support the body and cradle the delicate organs that it contains (One must not also forget that the bones themselves are also living organs.). They provide protection for the internal organs. For example, the fused bones of the cranium protect the brain from injury. The bones also allow for movement in that they are a place for the skeletal muscles to attach. In this way the bones act as levers to move parts of the body. The bones also store minerals that the body needs. The most important of these are calcium and phosphate. The bones are able to store the minerals and then release them into the bloodstream as ions. The bones also form most of the blood cells in the blood; this takes place in the bone marrow. In all there are 206 named bones in the human skeleton. These are group into the axial and appendicular skeletons. The axial skeleton is formed by the bones of the head and trunk, and the appendicular skeleton is formed by the bones of the upper and lower limbs and the shoulder and hip bones. |

Well, it's Monday again! At some point I'm going to start doing another day regularly, but for now I'm going to be sure I put something newsworthy up here every Monday. Newsworthy to me at least. OK, I'll try not to do 'human interest' stories until December.
Yeah, yeah. I know. You'll believe it when you see it.

Holforty Picks Up Two Wins At Day One Of NCAA Championship Posted: Friday, March 6, 2009 CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa- After one day of competition, UW-Eau Claire wrestler Josh Holforty (Sr. -Bloomington, Minn./Kennedy) is 2-1 and has advanced to the third-place bracket of the NCAA Championships at the U.S. Cellular Center. With the two victories, Holforty improves to 31-8 on the season and will face off against MIT's Joseph Silverman tomorrow in his fourth match of the 197 pound weight class. Holforty began today's events with a first-round bye. In the second round, Holforty went up against Luther College's Alec Bonander, who is ranked first in the nation and is the No. 1 seed in the tournament. It was the fourth time in two seasons that the two have faced one another. Having lost to Bonander earlier this season 10-0, Holforty turned the tables and pulled off the upset with a 7-3 decision. Holforty is now 2-2 in the last two seasons against Bonander, which includes a medical forfeit in last year's championships. In the third round, Holforty faced No. 8 seed Andy Moore from UW-La Crosse. Moore picked up the 5-2 decision to advance in the championship bracket while Holforty moved down to the third place bracket. Facing elimination in his opening third place match, Holforty stayed alive and posted a 9-4 decision over Nick Shandri of Wartburg College. Heading into tomorrow, Holforty needs three more victories to pick up a third place finish, which would improve on his sixth place finish from a year ago. The final round of competition will begin tomorrow at 10 a.m. - CL - |

Rome Empire Legions
- March 21, 2007 01:43 PM (GMT)
The winter snows are melting and spring run-off water is running down from the mountainside and delights the average peasant of Rome as they prepare for another wonderful year with bountiful crops and with peace and tranquility. However, likewise, in the northern areas of the Roman empire there are Roman legions at the same time as average peasants, working their crops, working to build up the defenses of their encampment from brutal Germanic savages whose one goal is to beat back the Roman defenses and push all the way to Rome and kill every last single peasant and sack the city of its riches. However, that cannot occur as the idea of defending Rome is in the hearts of those brave legion troops that would defend Roman territory to the last man, especially if they were paid the right amount of monies to defend that city, and empire.
Wouldn't you like to take part in such a battle, such an epic battle as Roman Empire Legions. Well come along and join in the fun and try to do your part to ensure the survival of the Roman empire from 510 BC all the way to 476 A.D, when it is under constant threat from Germanic, Irish, African, Middle Eastern, and Asiatic threat of invaders.
Be the emperor of Rome where you can control vast armies of Roman troops, or allied tribe troops and bring the fight to your enemies by invading their homelands and sacking their towns, villages and capitals before they can raise an army to crush your wonderful Rome. Dissolve the Senate if you feel that they are getting to noisy in your perosnal affairs or scream for democracy, and silence the most noisy senator or citizen by exiling them from Roman territory or burning them at the stake for speaking out against your rule on Rome. Or on the flipside, give in to those democratic voices and push for greater senate control of Roman territory and give more provincial rights to groups that reside inside and outside of Roman territory.
As well you can be a Roman Senator that is looking to assist the people of Rome in all their endeavors or find the easiest way to eliminate competition and gain Emperor power for oneself.
As well play as a Roman soldier that works their way up the ranks to ensure their own survival in Roman territory, and stay as a soldier for all their life or just work for the Romans for one or two campaigns. Or fight against Roman occupation as a savage from one of the hinterlands of the Roman Empire or rise up in a tribal or, gladiator revolt to get concessions for the future.
And finally, work as a farmer or peasant in the world of Roman Empire Legions to survive in Rome and its empire. Come and join REL and have the most fun you will ever have.

By ABDI GULED The Associated Press
MOGADISHU, Somalia - Somalia's northern region of Puntland has suspended a controversial deal with a private security firm contracted to train an anti-piracy force, two government officials said Thursday.
Saracen International was hired to train 1,050 men in Puntland to battle the pirates that menace shipping off Somalia's coast.
An Associated Press investigation previously found that the project was linked to Erik Prince, who founded the private security firm Blackwater, and also had a secret mission to go after an Islamist rebel linked to insurgents in southern Somalia.
Lafras Luitingh, the chief operating officer of Beirut-registered Saracen International, said in a statement that the program had been suspended since Feb. 12.
"This decision was reached after close consultation with the UN, and with the full support and concurrence of the government of Puntland, to allow international donor states to comply with all of the UN notification requirements for this activity."
He added that UN staff were welcome to visit Saracen facilities at any time.
Two officials in the Puntland government said the deal had been suspended following international pressure. Both asked for anonymity due to the sensitivity of the subject.
One official said most of Saracen's primarily South African staff have left the country but he expected them to return. The second official said that training has been suspended and that 200 recruits who had graduated from the training program were not paid in February.
Puntland's information minister did not return calls seeking comment on the subject.
A person familiar with the project, who insisted on anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the media, confirmed that the project had been suspended partly due to pressure from the U.N. and the U.S. government.
The two organizations were concerned about the secrecy surrounding the deal, its possible violation of U.N. sanctions and that it might undercut hard-won reforms in the Somali security sector. A mystery donor, believed to be the United Arab Emirates, had already spent millions of dollars on the Saracen deal through a web of companies with false addresses.
Another Saracen deal to train Somali forces in the capital of Mogadishu was canceled by Somalia's parliament in January.
Somalia has not had a functioning government for over 20 years. The failed state is a haven for pirates and Islamist insurgents who are battling the weak U.N.-backed government.

After we put up the competition to win tickets to a screening of Red Dog, every single Australian who follows us on Twitter and Facebook replied telling us how great the movie is! It's hits UK cinemas24th February and you can still enter our screening competition by clicking here. It's also probably worth mentioning that Koko, the dog in the movie, recently beat Uggie, the dog from The Artist to win the award for 'best dog' award at the Golden Collar awards in LA (no lie!!)
Have a watch of the clip below which shows Red Dog playing chicken with a car to demand the right to hitch-hike. It really sets the tone for the movie which I now really want to see!
Red Dog is based on the novel by Louis de Bernieres, is directed by Kriv Stenders and stars Josh Lucas, Rachael Taylor, Noah Taylor, Keisha Castle-Hughes, Luke Ford, Arthur Angel.
Dampier, Western Australia, 1971. A wild and desolate place where workers from all over the world come here to sweat away. When the sun goes down, these grafters make their way to the industrial hick town's only pub where they drink, recall their homes and get involved in fights. But this particular night things are somewhat quieter than usual. In the back room a dog is drawing its last breath. But this isn't just any old cur, this is Red Dog, a dog everybody here knows and loves, and about whom everyone has a story to tell. No doubt about it, Red Dog really is a character –and tonight everyone is prepared to agree for once.
Directed by Kriv Stenders (The Illustrated Family Doctor, Blacktown), written by Dan Taplitz (Chaos Theory, Breakin' All the Rules, Commandments), the film was shot on location in Western Australia, and is based on the novel by Louis De Bernieres (Captain Corelli's Mandolin).
Check out the website for full cinema listings: www.reddogthemovie.co.uk and then have a watch of the clip embedded below.

Dina Lohan is ready to expose her daughter Lindsay in a new tell-all memoir.
TMZ.com, which obtained the prologue to Dina's book, says the memoir was being shopped as recently as two weeks ago, but has yet to secure a publisher.
PHOTOS: Controversial celeb moms
Detailing her conflicted feelings as Lindsay's mother and manager, Dina opens up in the book about her daughter's reckless behavior and legal woes.
VIDEO: How Lindsay's life took a dark turn
"I blamed her friends, her career and her handlers for an [sic] newfound lifestyle of partying excessively. Drinking, drugging and behaving irresponsibly became Lindsay's way of daily living -- and it tore me up inside," Dina writes, according to TMZ.
The 49-year-old TV personality -- who appeared with her children Lindsay, Ali, Cody and Michael Lohan, Jr. on the E! series "Living Lohan" -- also explains why she relocated Lindsay, now 25, to Los Angeles from New York at such an early age.
PHOTOS: How Lindsay's face has changed
"How could I deny my daughter the chance of a lifetime? How could I hold Lindsay back from her dream of becoming an actress?" TMZ quotes Dina as writing. "So, I listened to others and sent my daughter to Hollywood with a few pieces of luggage and a chaperone."
However, Dina Lohan denies trying to shop a negative tell-all book about her famous daughter.
Dina told Gossip Cop, "I would NEVER do a negative book about my child" -- which leaves the door open for a positive book about Lindsay.
On Wednesday, Lindsay's probation was revoked by L.A. Judge Stephanie Sautner, who dismissed attorney Shawn Chapman Holley's argument that the star delayed the completion of her community service requirements because she was out of town on jobs.
PHOTOS: Lindsay's courtroom couture
Lindsay -- who was handcuffed upon exiting the courtroom -- is now required to complete 16 hours of service at the county morgue before her next hearing, on Nov. 2. She showed up 40 minutes late for her first day of work at the morgue Thursday and will be given a second chance on Friday.

I guess you don't realize the economy is in the tank and gas costs nearly 3X what it did under Clinton.
Add on top of that that hours and wages are being cut for many working people to help companies survive the health care act.
Not a good time to raise taxes on people making less than $100k.
Let's face it, IF the taxes were raised AND if everyone got rid of their cell phones then it would be a wash out.
When will there be a shared investment in the USofA? When will people start contributing rather than deducting?
There has to be a return to a community of purpose and, without it, we are truly becoming what Clinton referred to as a diverse country. Of course, he thought diversity was a great thing....I think he is/was stupid.
Pointing out the differences only segments society. Then asking one segment to support the other further segments society.
At what point will we dissolve into a mess of individuals who look for someone else to pay everyone's bills?

Accommodation near Tineghir
Tineghir is at the eastern end of the Dades Valley, with the High Atlas Mountains rising up behind it to the North, and the Jbel Sarhro Mountains spread out at its feet to the South. Originally just the name for the town, the area now known as Tineghir has expanded over time to include all the villages in one of the most beautiful Oases of Southern Morocco.
The main city of Tineghir (Baladia Tineghir) has 36 000 inhabitants, but the oasis as a whole totalled 86 500 inhabitants according to the 2004 Census. Tineghir, as with the region of Ouarzazate, is populated by the Amazighs (Berber people), and is at the centre of the Oasis. The lush palm grove covers a stretch of about 30 miles, varying in width between 500 to 1500 metres along the River Todra.
The Todra Gorge
Take a 20 Km side-trip through the splendid Todra River valley road that takes you through luxuriant ribbons of palm and olive groves, almond and pomegranate trees and patchworks of tiny fields and about a dozen pink-grey villages before entering the mouth of the Todra Gorge. The canyon is 1,000 ft high, cut into the pink and green walls of the High Atlas where birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts can experience some very interesting opportunities. The actual Todra Canyon road is only a few hundred yards long, so to continue further a 4 x 4 vehicle is essential.

Are not this and Land of Waves the same place? I mean that once Land of Waves had its own village Uzushiogakure —This unsigned comment was made by Elveonora (talk • contribs) .
- We thought that at first as well, but checking some chapters and references relevant to the Land of Waves in databooks, it said that the Land of Waves was south to the Land of Fire, not east. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:38, October 1, 2011 (UTC)
Thank you very much for clarification. I get that idea due to similar names and description and there was built Naruto's Bridge in Land of Waves so I thought its something like foreshadowing and irony because I was in that its where his clan came from : ) Also offtopic, but can you please check my talk page and leave a comment to each of my theories ? Thanks.--Elveonora (talk) 16:56, October 4, 2011 (UTC)
- Also, I still think that Land of Waves was before Land of Whirlpools. Why was it removed ? Was this "theory" disproved by later manga material ? I know its not confirmed by Kishi ... but we should use our brains as well. Both are island south of Land of Fire, right ? I think it makes sense that when Uzushio was destroyed, it got renamed to Land of Waves ...--Elveonora (talk) 22:48, October 4, 2011 (UTC)
- Uzushio was east to the Land of Fire, not south. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:32, October 4, 2011 (UTC)
What about Waves ? so they are not the same ? If not, damn Kishi! also, have you checked my talkpage yet ? :D —This unsigned comment was made by Elveonora (talk • contribs) .
- Land of Waves is south to the Land of Fire, meaning it would be south-west to where the Land of Whirlpools was. It appears they're not the same. I've glanced at it, but haven't read it in-depth yet. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:50, October 4, 2011 (UTC)
I see, and please take your time at check it all out ... its not that much. Want to hear your opinion ... also is there a way how to send something like pm ?--Elveonora (talk) 00:35, October 6, 2011 (UTC)
Clans and Villages
Does anyone know if Uzushiogakure had any clans besides Uzumaki? Also, was there any other villages outside the main villages (Uzushiogakure)? —This unsigned comment was made by 188.8.131.52 (talk • contribs) .
- If there were other known clans affiliated with Uzushiogakure, they'd be listed in the page. And I think you're confusing the village, Uzushiogakure, with the country, Uzu no Kuni. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:00, October 1, 2011 (UTC)
excuse me...
why was this village named uzushio no sato (渦潮の里) instead of uzushiogakure no sato (渦潮隠れの里) in this panel [1]???
sorry for my bad english..!!
126.96.36.199 (talk) 10:47, January 13, 2012 (UTC)Pokari
Because characters don't always use the full name of a village. For example, it's far more common to see someone saying "Konoha" than it is to see someone saying "Konohagakure". Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 14:16, January 13, 2012 (UTC)
Village Leader
konoha has the hokage so what was the leader of Uzushiogakure called?—This unsigned comment was made by 22.214.171.124 (talk • contribs) .
- Given that it's not one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries their leader would not have the "Kage" title officially. With that, we haven't the foggiest what they'd be called.--Cerez365™ 01:20, January 27, 2012 (UTC)
so what was the birth name of the leader —This unsigned comment was made by 220.127.116.11 (talk • contribs) .

On November 1st 2011( DATE CHANGE 12-12-12) we all stop buying cars from the auto manufactures and new car dealers. Date for action changed
My Idea will bring to the market what we all have been asking for: A low priced non-fossil fuel auto from the manufacturers. We don't need a $40,000 car that goes 120 miles and then takes 10 hours to charge. We need more and we need it now. I see no help from the auto manufacturing industry as they have no motivation. When every body pulls together and decides to just stop buying new cars a change will happen for sure.

This is how old law firms die: with a crash of titanic egos, a splintering of stubborn partners, a skittish flight of lawyers.
Although by yesterday it was not officially defunct, the once lofty Wall Street firm of Mudge Rose Guthrie Alexander & Ferdon, the 126-year-old institution known best as the legal launching pad of Richard M. Nixon, was visibly self-destructing.
The studied serenity of its aquariumlike 34th-floor lobby at 180 Maiden Lane, the walls and rugs all muted turquoise, with panoramic views of sky, sea and Brooklyn, was belied by the tearful hugs that secretaries exchanged Friday evening in the labyrinth of backstage cubicles where legal grunt work is done. Snippets of talk floating from lawyers' offices touched on plans for packing.
In the latest and worst of recent body blows to Mudge Rose, John J. Kirby Jr., the firm's chairman until last month, defected on Friday to a Los Angeles-based giant, Latham & Watkins, taking with him 12 other partners and 20 associates. The sudden exodus from the 190-lawyer firm, partners and consultants said, appears to mean the end of Mudge Rose as they knew it. There seemed to be only two ways left to save the venerable name, either by reinventing Mudge Rose as a much smaller, specialized firm or by pulling off a quick merger with a more stable group.

The Tea Party sees gridlock, as be a better

Since you are so blinded by the Tea Party (which we all know are for little girls and their imaginary friends) I suggest you get a seeing eye dog to assist you. The Tea Party is the gridlock in Congress.

UPDATE 1-Blackstone buys about $400 mln stake in China shopping mall group-source
- Tweet
- Share this
* Funding pressure creating investment opportunities in China
* Blackstone expects significant amount of real estate investments in China
* SCP malls tap China's growing middle class consumers
By Stephen Aldred and Donny Kwok
HONG KONG, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Blackstone Group LP agreed to pay about $400 million for a stake in Chinese shopping mall group SCP Co Ltd, a source with direct knowledge of the deal said, marking the U.S. private equity firm's largest investment in shopping malls in Asia.
China's banks are facing increased regulatory scrutiny on their lending criteria, putting pressure on small and mid-sized real estate firms to tap alternate funding sources. That is creating opportunities for private equity firms to invest in China's property sector, where they see strong growth potential.
Blackstone is buying a 40 percent stake in Shenzhen-based SCP, while ICBC International Holdings, a unit of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Ltd, is acquiring a 6 percent share, SCP said in a statement on Monday, without disclosing any financial details.
The source declined to be identified as the financial details of Blackstone's stake was confidential.
The Blackstone deal would take private equity investments in China's real estate sector to about $1.2 billion, 53 percent more than last year's total, according to Thomson Reuters data.
"Urbanisation, rising wages and an emerging middle class are all intact and will continue to grow over the medium term, and that will be supportive of not just the mall sector, but other real estate asset classes as well," said Christopher Heady, Blackstone's Hong Kong-based head of Asia real estate.
Heady emphasized that SCP's malls tap China's growing middle class consumers, rather than buyers of luxury brands.
SCP will hold assets totalling in excess of $2 billion after the deal, according to the company.
Unlisted SCP currently manages 19 shopping malls, with tenants including Wal-Mart Stores Inc, Uniqlo and Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group Ltd. It has also partnered with Carlyle Group, Morgan Stanley and China Resources Vanguard on separate projects.
Blackstone is the world's biggest private equity real estate firm with $69 billion in assets under management. It invests in Asia from a $13.3 billion global real estate fund. But the bulk of the SCP investment will come out of its first Asia real estate fund, targeted to raise up to $4 billion.
In August, Blackstone's real estate arm offered to buy Hong Kong-listed construction firm Tysan Holdings Limited for $322.6 million.
New York-headquartered Blackstone, founded in 1985, had $248 billion in total assets under management at the end of September, up 21 percent year on year.
Blackstone's real estate holdings account for 65 percent of its latest earnings, while private equity contributed 13 percent.

When you purchase a new Macintosh system at any Apple store or at there online store you will receive free shipping and free environmentally friendly disposal of your old computer. Apple was named a one of the top ten environmentally progressive companies earlier this week by the Sierra club and its investment advisor, Forward Management. Apples has recycled more than 90% of electronic equipment since 2001 and are hoping that this new free take back program will heighten those numbers.
"Apple is committed to supporting our customers and protecting the environment throughout the entire product life cycle, from purchase through to retirement," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. "Now we are making it even easier for Apple's customers to safely and affordably recycle their used computers and iPods."
Apples iPod 5th generation, iPod nano and iPod shuffle are 100% compliant and way ahead of schedule for upcoming restrictions of hazardous substance (RoHS) in California and Europe which is the new global standard for environmental regulations which is due July 1st. Apple has also exceeded the Energy Star efficiency requirements for California for its iPod power adapter the regulations are to take effect July 1 2008.

Sadie Robertson of "Duck Dynasty" fame had a blast as her entire clan turned up to watch their girl turn heads at the Evening By Sherri Hill fashion show. The 16-year-old was on hand for New York Fashion Week (NYFW) to show off her retro prom dresses on Sept. 9 in the Big Apple. Meanwhile, the reality star turned designer took time off of her busy schedule to pray for Miley Cyrus.
According to Fox News, Sadie and dad Willie discussed the controversial entertainer during a Sept. 10 interview in which the younger Robertson said,
"We feel very bad for [Miley Cyrus] because we know how entertainment can get wrapped up in your head. We try to stay strong as a family. We just pray that [Miley's] family comes back together."
As for Sadie Robertson and her runway experience, the teen was supported by her entire clan.
Sitting in the front row and posing for pictures were "Duck Dynasty" stars Will Robertson, Rebecca Robertson, Bella Robertson, John Luke Robertson, Korie Robertson and Willie Robertson.
All attended the talented girl's sartorial debut during the Evening By Sherri Hill fashion show at Trump Tower in New York City. Congratulations Sadie Robertson on your keen eye while providing for the need for old school fashion to be worn in the modern world.

Transition to Permanent Residence - Job outcomes of work permit holders
One of the greatest issues facing NewZealand is its ability to attract and retain talented people as a means of facilitating economic growth.
The objective of NewZealand's immigration policy is to contribute to economic growth by enhancing the overall level of human capability in NewZealand, encouraging enterprise and innovation, and fostering international links, while contributing to social cohesion. This objective is achieved by selecting a broad mix of migrants on the basis of their skills and experience or their family links to NewZealand or both.
Most people who are not NewZealand citizens and who wish to stay indefinitely in NewZealand must have residence permits to stay in NewZealand.
A large proportion of NewZealand's permanent residents were originally temporary migrants who were granted permits or visas to reside in NewZealand for a limited period. In 2008/09, 81percent of people approved for permanent residence had previously held a temporary permit.[1] Of those, 59percent had previously held a work permit. In this way, temporary migration has become a major source of talent for NewZealand.
The Department wants to understand:
- the work experiences and outcomes of those who transition from temporary to permanent residence
- whether these migrants work in jobs that use their skills and experience.

The Comic Stop: Hoax Hunters #6 Aims To Bunk The Debunkers In A New Storyline
It goes without saying (but I'll say it anyway) that we here at Biff Bam Pop! love our monsters, our aliens, our paranormal and our conspiracy theories. These topics just seem to root, enjoyably so, deep in our pop-culture love lives. And that's why we're enamoured with the comic book series Hoax Hunters, published monthly from Image Comics.
Hoax Hunters scratches that deep-rooted itch in a firm, sharp-nailed, and oh-so satisfying manner. It tells the story of the eccentric hosts of the Hoax Hunters television series – a program dedicated to de-bunking all of those Moth Man, Sasquatch, Chupacabra, Nessie, ghost and witch stories that we've all heard while growing up (or when listening to Coast to Coast each evening). Heck, every once in a while these legends still make the mainstream news!
The most recent story arc (issue #'s 0-5 of the series) has just wrapped up and last month saw the release of the first Hoax Hunters trade paperback, compiling them. That book comes highly recommended – exciting times, indeed! But best of all, this week sees the release of issue #6, which starts up a brand new storyline and makes for a great "jumping on" point for new readers.
Find out why below…
Biff Bam Popcast Episode VI – With Special Guests Michael Moreci and Steve Seeley
Alright, true believers! The next Biff Bam Popcast will go live tonight at 10pm, with Hoax Hunters creators Michael Moreci and Steve Seeley joining our illustrious panel. We'll talk Hoax Hunters, the aftermath of San Diego Comic-Con and we'll see who Glenn Walker offends this week with his take on The Dark Knight. Watch it live hear starting at 10pm (or thereabouts).
It's No Myth: Hoax Hunters Issue 1 Is A Great Read
I was out with a good friend of mine the other night, who got to talking about one of his co-workers who he labeled a right-wing conspiracy nut.
"This guy talks about UFOs and the Illuminati, all that stuff," my friend told me. I smiled at him.
"Hey man, I listen to conspiracy theory radio everyday at work. Don't get me started on the moon landing." My buddy gave me a once over and started laughing.
"I didn't know that about you!"
Yup, I love me a good conspiracy. Makes sense then, that I loved the first issue of Hoax Hunters, the new Image comic from Michael Moreci and Steve Seeley.

Hoax Hunters, Mad Men, Swamp Thing And The Art Of The Origin Story With Guest Blogger Michael Moreci
All this month at Biff Bam Pop we're looking at Origin stories – from films and comics and debut albums, to authors and their work. As part of this, writer Michael Moreci has written about the origin of his new series Hoax Hunters (you can read our previous interview with Michael here). For all you aspiring comic book creators out there, this is great insight into one artists' creative process. Without further adieu, take it away Michael:
Origin stories are boring.
There, I got that off my chest (and I even mean it, in a way).
The necessity of origins stories is an unusual thing, I think, because it's so exclusive to comics. Not to say other mediums don't incorporate origins into their narratives (they do), they just don't have the same level of devotion as comics do. Let's face it: Comics are obsessed with origins. Year One, Earth One, Season One, reboots, secret origins, on and on. It never stops.
Now, before getting any further, let me preface what I'm about to say with a simple disclosure: I will never, ever be the creator who tracks down reviewers and confronts them about a bad review. Unless the critic gets something egregiously wrong or insults a member of my family, I won't dissuade—or worse, bully—them from holding whatever opinion they have. So there. That said, I can express some frustration I had over a few reviews of Hoax Hunters #0 in a general way for the sake of this topic.
The Comic Stop Exclusive Interview: Michael Moreci, Steve Seeley and JM Ringuet on Story, Art, Cryptoids And A Comic Book Called Hoax Hunters
A few weeks ago, the Hoax Hunters introductory issue #0, published by Image Comics, made the Biff Bam Pop! Wednesday Run as the hot comic to pick up. You can read that particular column here. Inspired by conspiracy television shows such as Ancient Aliens, Brad Meltzer's Decoded and Destination Truth, Hoax Hunters turns the genre on its head as the comic book's protagonists attempt to disprove life's oddities in front of the camera –while covering up dark mysteries behind it. Writers Michael Moreci and Steve Seeley and artist JM Ringuet were kind enough to talk to Andy Burns and JP Fallavollita via email about the series, the creative process, monsters, cryptoids, television and much, much more.
Monsters, Aliens & Conspiracy Theories Debunked! It's No Hoax That Today, You Must Make The Wednesday Run – March 21, 2012
Although some might consider me a relative newcomer to the niche, I'm a big fan of late-night conspiracy radio programs. I've been avidly listening to them on a regular basis for nearly fifteen years now. In fact, I'm listening to Coast to Coast as I write this piece. You see, a number of years ago, I was undergoing a bout of insomnia and nothing could fix the problem: not music, not fresh air, not evening exercise and not late-night snacking. The only thing that really came close to helping me get the shut-eye I needed was watching Oliver Stone's JFK in the wee hours of the morning. Which was, looking back, a bit of a tip-off.
I'm also a fan of television shows like Ancient Aliens, Brad Meltzer's Decoded and Mythbusters. Really, it was only a matter of time before some astute writer/artist tandem would merge the conspiracy story-telling industry into a fully-fledged comic book storyline.
Well, that time is now. And that comic book is Hoax Hunters.

However, what do the users want? What type of features will make it easier for users to adopt and promote Debian and free software in general? Could this even help bring improvements to other distributions too?

Eddie Money
Eddie Money arrived in the late '70s at the height of album rock's popularity. While Money didn't have a remarkable voice, he had a knack for catchy, blue-collar rock & roll, which he delivered with a surprising amount of polished, radio-friendly finesse. He was able to survive in the early MTV era by filming a series of funny narrative videos, something his AOR peers were reluctant to do. However, he wasn't able to resist the temptations of a rock & roll lifestyle, and his popularity dipped in the… Show more
