http://freethinkesblog.blogspot.com/2017/11/a-fair-hearing-by-jury-of-his-pervs-by.html | Tuesday , November 21 , 2017 A Fair Hearing by a Jury of His Pervs by Clarice Feldman Clarice Feldman AMERICAN THINKER - November 19 , 2017 There ’ s a lot going on in DC this week , but it seems to be overshadowed by Weinstein case creep – – the penchant for women coming out of the woodwork to accuse high profile men of sexual misbehavior , much of it from decades earlier and most of it unverifiable . Some these allegations are clearly fabrications . That certainly seems to be true of the claims against Roy Moore . On Twitter , Thomas Wictor has made a credible analysis establishing that the one piece of non - testimonial record against Moore , a yearbook notation Gloria Allred , notorious for sitting with unpersuasive sobbing women as she daubs their tears and peddles incredible tales , repeatedly refused to answer Wolf Blitzer ’ s questions about whether the signature was a forgery and has said she never even asked her client , Mrs . Wilson , whether she actually saw Judge Moore sign it . Moore has demanded the yearbook be turned over for forensic examination and Allred says she ’ ll turn it over only to a ( nonexistent ) Senate Committee for its investigators to study . Foolish deflection from a woman as to whom complaints are ( as far as I can determine ) still pending before the DC and California bars and whose claims in any event , based on her past performances , deserve to be disregarded . The charge , however , has put Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell under fire . Esther Goldberg argues that sex was just the pretext and that Judge Moore is merely a pawn in the fight between Mitch McConnell and Steve Bannon , a repeat of the war they fought against President Trump . Goldberg ’ s theme centers on a lead editorial in the Wall Street Journal that describes the Bannonites ( as they once described Trump ’ s supporters ) as “ cranks and outliers ” and attacks them for their agenda of “ trade protectionism and slashing immigration , ” views Goldberg rightly notes were winning themes in 2016 . Like me , she sees the problem with the candidates McConnell and the WSJ would approve of as non - starters : Problem is that candidates have to get elected first , and the candidates blest by Mitch McConnell and his swamp creatures have n ’ t been able to do so . And those that have been in the legislature for years do n ’ t seem to be interested in doing any of these things . Except for that insurgent Donald Trump who ’ s been busy getting his originalist judges confirmed . Having submitted 105 individuals to vacancies on appeals courts , district courts , and U.S. attorney positions , Trump finally succeeded in lighting a fire under McConnell to speed up the confirmation process in the last few weeks . “ They ’ re waiting forever on line , ” said the President . “ It should n ’ t happen that way . It ’ s not right , it ’ s not fair . ” Judge Roy Moore today Roy Moore is only a pawn in this Game of Thrones . The allegations against him are laughable . “ We do not want to live in a country or political culture in which every accusation of sexual misconduct is automatically accepted as true , ” piously intones the Journal before going on to accept them automatically as true , after a desultory nod to Moore ’ s right to challenge his accusers “ for acts alleged to have happened more than 30 years ago . ” Mitch McConnell had no qualms about convicting Judge Moore on the spot , She notes that while McConnell praised Ted Kennedy for being able to separate the “ personal from the political ” after the latter left a young woman trapped in his car to die underwater , he can not do that with those who threaten his power even when the best he can do is argue they engaged in some unspecified ( and unproven ) sexual misconduct ” nearly four decades earlier . In any event , Allred seems to have opened a Pandora ’ s box . Because now the always vulgar clown Senator Al Franken is under the spotlight for specific sexual misconduct . He ’ s admitted the most serious charge to date and apologized , but some in his party are demanding that he resign , although at least one self - described feminist has leapt to his defense . Some on the left even have found ( 20 years late ) words to admit they were wrong in defending Bill Clinton saying he should have resigned over the Lewinsky affair . McConnell appears not to be the only party leader trying to get rid of inconvenient colleagues and former colleagues , using women ’ s ’ tears as weapons . ( It ’ s hard for me to imagine how “ I am woman hear me roar ” fits in with claims that a pinch on the butt or an unwelcome advance ( rejected ) can prove a traumatic The suggestion by some that Franken should be subject to a Senate ethics hearing ( which Franken actually asked for ) , drew Iowahawk ’ s tweet : “ He deserves a fair hearing by a jury of his pervs . ” And there ’ s a basis for that characterization . The Congressional Office of Compliance notes that an unspecified but substantial amount ( quotes of $ 15 million dollars appear to be an exaggeration ) has been paid out of a not previously disclosed slush fund ( hush fund ? ) as settlement of Congressional harassment claims – – and this after accusers have had to first undergo lengthy mediation and counseling sessions . The public is entitled to a more specific accounting of these claims . The enacted Legislative Branch Appropriations bills of 1996 through 2017 have appropriated funds awards , and settlements under the Act . This year alone almost a million dollars of tax money was spent to settle eight such claims . Now there ’ s talk about setting up “ harassment training for Congress ” – – you know , like the idiotic time wasters their laws have imposed on the rest of us . Iowahawk ( peace be upon him ) will have none of it : “ Forget the stupid " harassment training " fig leaf . If Congress is serious about this , release details of their $ 15 million harassment slush fund payments , including on whose behalf they were paid . ” While attention is focused on the kind of things of great interest only to viewers of daytime television , strapped to hospital beds and unable to reach a remote to turn it off , some important things are happening . The House has passed a tax cut bill , which is heading to the Senate , where I hope the harassment training wo n ’ t cut into their work time , as it apparently has the U.S. Navy ’ s operations . Senator Chuck Grassley has announced he ’ s going ahead with a confirmation hearing for David Stras , a nominee for the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals , ignoring Al Franken ’ s blue slip effort to stop the confirmation hearing , and will as well hold a confirmation hearing for Kyle Duncan for the 5th Circuit , despite his home state senator John Kennedy ‘ s blue slip . Former senator Harry Reid undid a slew of Senate traditions , and his party paved the way for the new majority to follow his lead . Senatorial courtesy , which Rumors are strong that Justice Anthony Kennedy is about to resign from the Supreme Court and the White House has announced five new additions to the slate of potential nominees to fill that slot : The White House on Friday announced the addition of five new names to President Trump ’ s list of potential Supreme Court nominees . . . Two of the latest candidates , Judge Amy Coney Barrett and Judge Kevin C . Newsom , were both nominated to their current positions by Trump in May , according to the White House . Barret serves on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit and Newsom serves on U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit , the statement said . The White House announced both nominations in May . Also on the list are Justice Britt C . Grant of the Supreme Court of Georgia , Judge Brett M . Kavanaugh of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and Justice Patrick Wyrick of the Supreme Court of Oklahoma . The update comes amid ongoing rumors that Justice Anthony Kennedy , 81 , who has served on the court for more than 20 years , is considering retirement . Probably the most important development this week is the effective end of the CFPB ( Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ) , a power grab by Democrats led by Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren , which gives a single director who can only be fired for cause by the president ( a structure designed to operate outside Congressional or executive control ) power to regulate mortgages , credit cards , and retirement and pension investments – – in sum , all consumer financial transactions . Warren originally wanted to run this outfit , but when it was clear she ’ d never The Obama Administration sought en banc review by the entire Circuit Court Panel . In March , the new administration reversed the government ’ s position . The entire panel heard the case in May . While the decision in that case is still pending , Cordray this week resigned , and the president appointed in his place OMB chief Mike Mulvaney as interim head . Mulvaney strongly opposed the creation of this bureau . The President thus has now put in place someone who can be counted on to undo the Democrats ’ machinations to control all our financial transactions by the fiat of a Posted by FreeThinke at 12 : 00 AM Email This BlogThis !

Reply Replies FreeThinke November 21 , 2017 at 4 : 51 PM Please give Clarice Feldman the credit . It is SHE who wrote the piece . The DirtyRat party has opened up a new Pandaora ' s Box with this nonsense . NOW every bimbo , slut , femma fatale , scorned female , bitter old bitch , gold digger , and would - be celebrity in the universe is going to come out of the woodwork tooth and claw SUING every male with prestige and a few extra bucks for all they ' re worth . The CASTRATON of the AMERICAN MALE and the establishment of a VAGINACRACY seems to be the ultimate goal . The saddest part of the whole stinking mess is that the FEMINAZI ' S have managed to transform American Womanhood into a bunch of shrieking , roaring , foul - smelling , fire - breathing HARPIES . Our helpmates , boon companions and the mothers of our children are now THE ENEMY thanks to the likes of Molly Yard , Betty Friedan , Gloria Steinem , Catherine McKinnon , Eve Ensler , and the army of SHRIKES they spawned . Our only refuge may be to resort excusively to MASTURBATION – – OR – – Heaven foreseen – – turn to HOMOSEXUALITY as most virile males do when serving a long prison term . Reply Ernest Philpot November 21 , 2017 at 9 : 17 AM that Clarence Feldman is quite a writer . Looks like a hippie though Rational Nation USA November 21 , 2017 at 12 : 23 PM Clarice Feldman ' s article certainly is well written and provides information with a conseravative bias for consumption and analysis . As with most things there are points to agree wirh and disagree . I am particularly troubled by a concentration of too much authority and power in the hands of one particular individual . Especially when that individual is not answerable to comgress and or the senate . It matters NOT to me wether that person is a conservative , republican , liberal , or democrat . Over centralization within any organizational structure is a danger good management and oftentimes ethical operation . The floodgates have been opened and the level of sexual harrassment , sexual predation , etc . allegations will only increase . I am against anyone , man or women , using their power and influence to secure sexual favors . And if proven they have I believe they deserve whatever judgement and penalty is appropriate to the specific allegations . However , there is a bit of truth to the idea SOME individuals do make accusations that are unfounded in truth and should not be used to destroy another ' s reputation and career . I postred this true story yesterday . It was posted as a reminder of what could happen to anyone of us . I recall a situation almost 30 years ago when I was superintending a corrugated plant . I received a telephone call from one of my supervisors . He told me one of our female employees was claiming sexual harassment , that she was uncomfortable working around a certain male in the department as e was leering at her . As the company I was employed by , as well as myself , took sexual harassment claims very seriously I told my supervisor to meet me on my way to his department . After getting a quick rundown and asking a Clearly , and in bold multi colored lettering were the words , THESE ARE NOT MY EYES emblazoned on her tee shirt . The lettering ran directly across , you guessed it , her breasts . Needless to say the remedy was easy . She was sent home to change with the appropriate loss of pay . She was advised the lettering was inappropriate , to never report for work dressed in such attire again , and should she wish to push a sexual harassment complaint her attire could be considered entrapment by a shred lawyer . The male was told leering was considered harassment and the company expected he refrain from doing so when on our premise . Letters , signed by them , were placed in both employees files along with the notes of my investigation . There was no further incidents . A rush to judgment is almost always the wrong action . Replies Morning Cuppa Joe November 21 , 2017 at 1 : 14 PM Good comment Les . We are in violent agreement . This is a righty biased post . The Allred case is suspicious , but that is only one of the accusers , and to be fair and balanced , the only accusser to allege an attempted rape . The rest of the cases are butt pinches and leering which are disturbing when performed by an old perv on teenage girls , but not the end of the world for gawdsakes . Les you are a wise man and you handled that shop floor incident just right . A women with words printed across her tits expects men to ogle her tits . It do n ' t belong at work where there are forklifts and dangerous machinery .

He is a BLACK man who dared to criticize BLACK CULTURE by idenouncung it as the disgusting degenerate self - defating thing it is while espousing traditional WHITE values – – in PUBLIC ! THAT was Cosby ' s CARDINAL SIN . Whatever he did – – or did not do – – with " women " is really IRRELEVANT – – the " McGuffin " chnucally and hypocritically used by the ENEMEDIA to neutralize and punish an APOSTATE BLACK who DARED ti stray from the LEFTIST ORTHODoX CANT and RHETORIC . Beantown Annie November 22 , 2017 at 8 : 32 AM Blacks spend their day calling each other niggers and hoe ' s . The rappers do the same garbage in their " So Called " songs . I hear black people calling each other those names 100 times a day . . .I have yet to hear a white person call another one a honkey , cracker , etc . Why ? Because it is stupid . . . Yet , Al Sharpton got Don Imus was fired over his remarks . Duh ! Where is Sharpie Sharpton with all of this ? Is he to busy out holding up the corporations , and black mailing them , and threatening to boycott them ! Why does n ' t he join Bill Cosby in his denunciation of black speech patterns and rappers subject matter . All of this is ok to Sharpton and his gang until a white uses such language and then all hell breaks loose . By the way I do think Imus was wrong , but why is he punished to the point of taking away his livelihood and others never I distinctly remember the Tawana Brawley incident that you spoke of . This fool is nothing more than a poverty pimp , just like his cohort " Rev . " Jesse Jackson . I hope one day that these bleeding heart liberals will wake up and smell the roses and see these pimps for who they REALLY are . They may as well wear a " Superfly " hat , and gaudy gold chains around their neck . I wonder who they think they are fooling ? he Al Sharptons of this world will not be happy unless the " white man " is turned into a minority and we revert to the enslavement of the white race . . . . And why do these politicians like Hillary Clinton etc . go around kissing the ring and ass of Rev . Al ? Are they so damn hard - up for the black vote that they have to drop down to Al ' s low level ?

Fred Hauptstuhl November 21 , 2017 at 2 : 41 PM The men in this country have gone weak and handed power to the shrieking blabbermouth feminists .

We need to restore order in this nation , and it begins with a firm hand to a sassy ass . Bill November 21 , 2017 at 3 : 56 PM According to Democratic Party sources and an official who served in both the Clinton and Obama administrations , Clinton , 71 , is being hit with four separate lawsuits by the accusing womens ’ attorneys . A member of Clinton ’ s legal team has confirmed to news media the existence of the new allegations , and that the four women are planning to air their accusations of sexual assault at a press conference Back in the late 1990s , Clinton paid $ 850,000 to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit by former Arkansas state employee Paula Jones . This case led to Clinton ’ s impeachment in the House of Representatives and eventual acquittal by the Senate in 1999 .

Anonymous November 22 , 2017 at 7 : 36 AM The Town Crier said Media Ignores Key Alabama Witness Reports That Refute Roy Moore Accuser … Conservative Treehouse , by Sundance On top of the original story told by Gloria Allred falling apart ; and on top of Allred refusing to produce the yearbook from the accuser that she highlighted as evidence ; the Alabama campaign of Roy Moore has been contacted by several key witnesses who refute the story described by Gloria Allred ’ s client and media accuser Beverly Nelson . Interestingly , the witnesses who have direct and specific knowledge of the events Mrs . Nelson described in 1977 already told the media her story did n ’ t make sense and provided specific examples that refute the Dandy Lion November 22 , 2017 at 8 : 38 AM Okay , that said , it ’ s time we drop our astonishment regarding Donald Trump ’ s locker room banter and start focusing on Hillary ’ s recipe for the dismantling of our republic . The policies being promoted by one Hillary Clinton are most certainly the proper prescription for disaster and let me start with one , very troubling idea she is out there on the campaign trail touting … bringing more and more and more Muslim “ refugees ” to America . First of all … according to our own intel agencies , there is absolutely no way to properly vet pers - 3these so - called “ refugees ” as their countries of origin do n ’ t have any information on who they are . Hillary wants to import more than 200,000 of these unvetted , who - knows - who they are or where they came from Muslims to live in our cities and towns . And why does she want to do this , other than in the name of “ diversity , ” which is a crock of crap ? Because , according to her and her ilk , these people are in danger where they are currently .

November 22 , 2017 at 12 : 56 PM lonestarm3 said Nobody should condone the actions Roy Moore is accused of . But accused is not guilty until proven . One , a dozen or a hundred claims does n t change that . One lady might have decided to wait to come forward until he won a primary run - off three decades later - but all of them ? It comes down to what Georgia voters think . The disappointment of McConnell and all NeverTrump Establishment - for - lifers should n t matter . If there ever was an argument for repeal of the 17th amendment and a new amendment for term limits , they are it . The 2016 election was about " draining the swamp " and dealing with the Democratic establishment is the first step . Dealing with the Republican establishment is the second . The fact that McConnell s PAC money went to the Republican primary rather than the general election says it all . The goal was one more vote for McConnell for leader in January . Throwing it to an anti - gun , pro - aborion high tax progressive Democrat or considering forgiveness of an alleged sin thirty - eight years ago - that is the option for the citizens of Alabama .

Face the Facts November 22 , 2017 at 3 : 36 PM Let ’ s face the facts Old Bernie Sanders is no stranger to hypocrisy . After all , he claims to despise capitalism but made over a million dollars last year , putting him in the top one percent of earners . and let ’ s not forget his wife , who is the epitome Hypocrisy . And since we are facing the facts around $ 800,000 came from an advance on his socialist - leaning book “ Our Revolution . ” He also ran as an “ anti establishment ” presidential candidate , despite the inconvenient fact that he ’ s been a Washington , D.C. insider for nearly three decades . Now , there ’ s another incongruity to add to the list : While wringing his hands about the crisis of sexual harassment allegations sweeping the country , Bernie Sanders refused to agree that serially scandalous Bill Clinton should have resigned during the Monica Lewinsky affair . Just saying November 22 , 2017 at 4 : 14 PM Since the faze of Sexual Abuse has come to light , new survey revealed U.S. adults ’ most popular presidents of the second half of the 20th century , and the findings show former President Bill Clinton ’ s popularity has taken a dramatic hit in recent years .

November 22 , 2017 at 7 : 19 PM I ' m with Mr . Thinke on this . The women accusing Moore are liars . As were the women accusing Trump . The women accusing Democrats are all telling the truth , however . Democrat perverts want to drag down into the mud ( where they love it ) good Christian men like Moore .

http://freeworldfilmworks.com/dov-10danger.htm | Ten Most Wanted False Teachers In America Here is a list of the " Ten Most Wanted " religious false teachers in America today . These men and all the men and women listed on this poster are wanted by all SPIRIT controlled believers ( Eph . 5.18 ) . When these false teachers and false prophets are apprehended they will be tried in a spiritual court of law ( I Kor . 6.2 ) , and when found guilty they will be punished according to the Scriptures ( Rom . 16.17 ; I Tim . 3.5 , 6 ; 2 Tim . 2.25 , 26 ; Tit . 1.9 - 16 ; 3.10 , 11 ) . 1 . Paul Crouch 2 . Pat Robertson 3 . Rick Warren 4 . Chuck Smith 5 . Benny Hinn 6 . Robert Schuller 7 . Oral Roberts 8 . James Swaggart 9 . Joel Osteen 10 . John Hagee Ten Most Wanted 1 . Paul Crouch is the most dangerous religious con - artist because of his network ( TBN ) It is the largest Protestant religious network in the world . He promotes numerous false teachers and false prophets , such as Hal Lindsey , He is an ecumenical leader and he has also been a leader in compelling believers to support a false religion ( Babylonian Talmudic Judaism ) , and a nation ( Israel ) that oppresses half of its citizens ( Palestinians ) . Paul threw Halunatic Lindsey off of his network because Halunatic condemned the Arabs / Muslims on nearly every dov - tbn . htm 2 . Pat Robertson is dangerous because of his network . He teaches the charismatic false doctrines and has led millions astray into the charismatic movement . He is an ecumenical leader and has been a leader in compelling believers in supporting a false religion ( Babylonian Talmudic Judaism ) , and a nation ( Israel ) that oppresses half of its citizens ( Palestinians ) . He is also a GOP stooge and a New World Order Gangster . 3 . Rick Warren is the latest dark star in the Christian world today . His two books have mesmerized the apostate and ignorant Christian masses . He has taken his " seeker friendly " program to thousands of churches around the country and throughout the world . His program is based on the program that Robert Schuller of Crystal Cathedral infamy developed a few decades ago . Warren has also thrown in some New Age mumble jumble , and he uses some of the New Age techniques . He teaches lukewarm , sour milk to his sycophantic parasites who remain in perpetual , dov - warren . htm 4 . Chuck Smith is dangerous because he revived the dead pentecostal movement and allegedly has more than 1,000 subsidiary corporations that propagate charismatic nonsense . He is also heard on several radio stations . He was heard on more than 300 radio stations until he had a falling out with Mike Kestler . The pentecostal / charismatic movement is a cancer in Messianic Faith that is eating it away . It is also the leading evidence we are living in the " apostasy " of the " last days " of the " end times " ( 2 Thes . 2.3 ) . There is no evidence that Chuck Smith is truly born from above . He was allegedly saved in a Four Square assembly . They teach a person must maintain his salvation by works or by abiding in Mashiyach . Chuck holds to that false doctrine and teaches it . If he believed that false doctrine when he made his so - called " decision " to trust YAHSHUA he is not saved . Anyone who trusts YAHSHUA believing they must do something to help Him save him or to keep his salvation , they are not born from above . They have believed a false Gospel ( The emphasis on signs and wonders among these false believers ( Leviy - Matt . 12.39 ) is solid proof they are not born from above or they are apostate . Smith and his disciples are false teachers who have infiltrated Messianic Faith to subvert it ( 2 Keph - Peter 2.1 ) . I seriously doubt Smith or any of his disciples are born from above . The vast majority of people who have been deceived by Smith and other charismatic / pentecostal preachers are not born again and they are headed straight to Hell . Smith , his It ' s possible that Smith and some of his devotees may be born from above , but if any of them are it is obvious from their teaching that they are apostate and are not being taught by the HOLY SPIRIT ( I Yochanan - John 2.20 , 27 ) . Smith has also been a leader in coercing believers into supporting a false religion ( Babylonian Talmudic Judaism ) , and a nation ( Israel ) that oppresses half of its citizens ( Palestinians ) .

Benny Hinn was a disciple of the infamous false teacher Kathryn Khulman , and he propagates the false doctrines that she taught . He has adopted other false teachings from Kenny Copeland and Ken Hagin who picked up the heretical Mormon doctrine that all men can become a god . Benny also teaches the heretical doctrine that YAHSHUA was born - again in Hell . He is a leading " word faith " false teacher who is not born from above and headed straight to Hell ! dov - hinn . htm 6 . Robert Schuller is a notorious false teacher who is not born from above . He is the father of the seeker - friendly craze . 7 . Oral Roberts is another dangerous , spiritual criminal because he launched the careers of myriad false teachers through his school . He is the leading pentecostal preacher in America , although his star has faded in the last decade . 8 . Jimmy Swaggart is dangerous because he has pumped out hundreds of pentecostal preachers through his school and he has deceived millions through his television broadcasts . His influence was greatly diminished when he was caught with a prostitute . 9 . Joel Osteen is the latest feel - good non - preacher . He inherited his empire when his father died . He is a pretty - boy philosopher who rarely teaches the Bible . Instead , he gives wishy - washy pep talks that make his sycophantic parasites feel good . 10 . John Hagee , founder and senior pastor of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio , Texas , a non - denominational charismatic church with more than 19,000 active members , is the chief executive officer ( CEO ) at his non - profit corporation , Global Evangelism Television ( GETV ) . He is also the President and CEO of John Hagee Ministries , which telecasts his national radio and television ministry carried in the United States on 160 TV stations , 50 radio stations . He is a typical Pentecostal , but he teaches that Jesus never claimed to be the Messiah . He is a major leader in coercing believers into supporting a false religion ( Babylonian Talmudic Judaism ) , and a nation ( Israel ) that oppresses half of its citizens ( Palestinians ) . 11 . Franklin William " Billy " Graham has spent 50 years working with false churches in his crusades . The two million people , who have allegedly made decisions for the Lord at his crusades , have been told to attend a local church of any kind , including Roman Catholic Churches . The vast majority of his alleged converts have not been born from above and are headed straight to Hell . He has done a great deal in furthering the ecumenical movement . For detailed proof he is apostate go to - - Billy Graham 12 . Hal Lindsey , the self - proclaimed " Father of the Modern Day False Prophecy Movement , " popularized the false eschatology doctrines of most dispensationalists . His books have influenced thousands of preachers , teachers and laymen leading them astray in the subject of eschatology . Hal has also joined the charispentecostal and ecumenical movements , and has been a leader in coercing believers into supporting a false religion ( Babylonian Talmudic Judaism ) , and a nation ( Israel ) that oppresses nearly half of its citizens ( Palestinians ) . Like most men who have acquired great wealth , prestige and influence he has spent a good deal of time chasing women . His third haLUNACY Hal posted a second web site http : / / www . hallindseyoracle . com / HomePage . html ( Oracle means " Answers from the gods " or " divine announcement . " Does Halunatic truly think he speaks for YHWH ? He has gone over the edge ! With this web site he has revealed his true colors - - he is a FALSE PROFIT ! ! ! He is the Father of the Modern Day False Prophecy Movement ! ! ! His other web site - - http : / / www . iib - report . com was abandoned . He now has another web site - - http : / / www . hallindsey . com 13 . Jack Impe not only pushes the false eschatology doctrines of John F . Walvoord and Hal Lindsey , he is a leading ecumenical who praises John Paul II and the Roman Catholic Church every chance he gets . He also jumped on the Hal Lindsey false prophecy movement making numerous false prophecies concerning the date of the Rapture . Like the rest of these false teachers Jack supports a false religion ( Babylonian Talmudic Judaism ) , and a nation ( Israel ) that oppresses nearly half of its citizens ( Palestinians ) . He is also a leading ecumenicalist who will join hands with anyone as long as they claimed to be a " Christian . " Their doctrines mean little to him . dov - wimpe . htm 14 . Tim LaHaye was dropped from the Top 10 due to the fact that his idiotic " Left Behind " series of fantasy books is completed and his new series is a total flop . He will not negatively impact the Christian world with his nonsense again . Yet his book series will continue to influence apostate Christians and ignorant ones . He also teaches the false eschatology doctrines that Lindsey has popularized , and his " Left Behind " series has made him over $ 100 million . Sadly , he has deceived millions of people with this book series . Tim has also been a major figure in subverting Messianic Faith through the Council for National Policy which he founded in 1981 . This secret council consists of backslidden and apostate believers such as Pat Robertson , Gary Bauer , John Ankerberg , Dave Breese ( deceased ) , Bill Bright ( deceased ) , Larry Burkett , Jim Dobson , Mike Farris , Bob Jones III , D . J . Kennedy deceased ) , Marlin Maddoux , Gary North , R.J. Rushdoony ( deceased ) and New World Order puppets like Jack Kemp , Ed Meese III , Larry North , Richard Allen , Ed Atsinger III , Rich DeVos , Jesse Helms , Reed The success of these men and other false teachers within Messianic Faith is irrefutable proof we are living in the last days ( 2 Thes . 2.1 - 3 ; 2 Tim . 4.3 , 4 ) of the last hour ( I Yochanan - John 2.18 ) .

I attended LBC for one torturous semester and saw first hand how bad that cesspool is . Gerald had also been a leader in coercing believers into supporting a false religion ( Babylonian Talmudic Judaism ) , and a nation ( Israel ) that oppresses a portion of its citizens ( Palestinians ) . He was an ecumencalist who worked with Roman Catholics , Babylonian Talmudic Khazars / Edomites , the Southern Baptist Convention , Sun Yun Moon and anyone he could find that would help his cause . He was also a schill for the corrupt Republican Party and a faithful member of the New World Order Gang . For detailed proof of his apostasy go to Falldown John Wimber has gone to his just punishment and can no longer be listed among the Ten Most Wanted false teachers in America .

They have unequally yoked themselves with the federal and state governments in direct violation of the Scriptures ( 2 Kor . 6.14 - 18 ) . They are NOT qualified to be true Biblical bishops and they can not be referred to as such . All 501c3 CEOs are backslidden and or apostate or NOT born from above ( Yochanan 3.3 ) ! For a study on the duties of dov - bishops . htm You must avoid all 501c3 CEOs at ALL costs ! If you have given them YAHWEH ' S money you have sinned ! Stop giving them YAHWEH ' S money and find a true Biblical bishop who not only refuses to bow down and worship the state by being the CEO of a 501c3 corporation , but also teaches straight Biblical doctrine and speaks out against the myriad false teachers and prophets that plague America . Now that you know the truth , if you continue to support these and other 501c3 CEOs you are part of the problem and will have great loss of reward ( I Kor . 3.15 ) . If you have given any of YAHWEH ' S money to any religious radio or TV CEO you must stop now ! If the fellowship that you are part of is a 501c3 religious corporation confront the CEOs with the truth and if they do NOT terminate the corporation and act according to the Scriptures find a local assembly where the bishops understand DOV Used Book Shoppe " It is most difficult to free slaves from the chains they worship .

http://french.about.com/od/grammar/a/nouns_3.htm | Humanities Languages Masculine and Feminine French Nouns ~ Noms How to Know the Gender of French Nouns by ThoughtCo Updated January 28 , 2019 A noun is a word that represents a person , place , or thing , whether concrete ( e.g. , chair , dog ) or abstract ( idea , happiness ) . In French , all nouns have a gender — they are either masculine or feminine . The gender of some nouns makes sense ( homme [ man ] is masculine , femme [ woman ] is feminine ) but others do n ' t : the words personne [ person ] and victime [ victim ] are always feminine , even when the person or victim is a man ! It is very important to learn a noun ' s gender along with the noun itself because articles adjectives some pronouns , and some verbs have to agree with nouns ; that is , they change depending on the gender of the noun they modify . The best way to learn the gender of French nouns is to make your vocabulary lists with the appropriate definite article or indefinite article . That is , rather than a list like this : livre - book chaise - chair Make French vocabulary lists like this : un livre - book une chaise - chair This will help you learn the gender with the noun . The gender is part of the noun and you will be much better off learning it now , as a beginner , than trying to go back after years of study and memorizing the genders of all the words you ' ve already learned ( we speak from experience ) . Also , there are quite a few French nouns with different meanings depending on whether they are masculine or feminine . Gender of French Nouns French nouns are always masculine or feminine , and you usually ca n ' t determine the gender just by looking at the word or thinking about what it means . While there are some tendencies in the gender of French nouns - see the table below - there are always exceptions . Please do n ' t use these patterns as a way to avoid learning the genders of nouns - just learn each word as gender + noun and then you ' ll know them forever . Nearly all French nouns have different forms for singular and plural . In addition , many nouns that refer to people and animals have both a masculine and a feminine form . Ending is usually : - age masculine Exceptions : une cage , une image , une nage , une page , une plage , une rage - eau masculine Exceptions : l ' eau , la peau - ée feminine un lycée , un musée - ion feminine un avion , un bastion , billion , un million , un lion , un scion - té un comité , un invité In addition , most countries and names that end in e are feminine . French Nouns With Irregular Feminine Forms Most French nouns become feminine according to regular patterns , but there are a number of irregular nouns , based on the final letter ( s ) of the masculine singular noun . Nouns that end in a vowel plus L , N , or T usually become feminine by doubling the consonant before adding E . Ending : en > enne Noun : le gardien ( guard ) Masculine singular le gardien Feminine singular la gardienne Masculine plural les gardiens Feminine plural les gardiennes Ending : el > elle Noun : le colonel ( colonel ) Masculine singular le colonel Feminine singular la colonelle Masculine plural les colonels Feminine plural les colonelles Nouns that end in er need a grave accent er ère le boulanger ( baker ) le boulanger la boulangère les boulangers les boulangères The final letters eur have two possible irregular feminine endings : eur euse un danseur ( dancer ) un danseur une danseuse des danseurs des danseuses rice un acteur ( actor ) un acteur une actrice des acteurs des actrices Notes These rules are similar for making adjectives feminine The rules for making nouns feminine apply only to people and some animals . They do not apply to objects , which have only one form : masculine or feminine . Compound nouns have their own gender rules . French Nouns With Irregular Plurals Most French nouns become plural according to regular patterns , but there are a number of irregular nouns , based on the final letter ( s ) of the singular noun . The endings al and ail change to aux in the plural : Noun : un cheval ( horse ) un cheval des chevaux Noun : un travail ( task , job ) un travail des travaux The endings au eau , and eu take an X for plural : un tuyau ( pipe , tip ) un tuyau des tuyaux un château ( castle ) un château des châteaux un feu ( fire ) un feu des feux Continue Reading | [

Reverse sneezing ? So Hudson has started doing a new thing , and after some googling I have discovered that it is commonly known as reverse sneezing . The poor guy looks so uncomfortable when it ' s happening , and I try to just kind of pat his back until it passes and gently reassure him . It typically occurs when he is just sitting around , so I ' m not sure what the trigger is . Is there anything I can do to make these fits less frequent or more comfortable for him ?

http://freshwaterbiomesemandsyd.weebly.com/climate.html | Climate of a Freshwater Biome The freshwater biome covers only 0.8 % of the total water on this Earth , yet the water which makes up this biome are distributed unevenly throughout the globe ( W2 ) . As a result the climate of these Biomes is greatly diverse depending on the region ( W2 ) . Figure # 1 : The Okanagan Lake , located in British Columbia , is one of the longest lakes in Canada . ( Image source : http : / / upload . wikimedia . org / wikipedia / commons / thumb / 6 / 62 / Okanagan . jpg / 250px - Okanagan . jpg ) On average temperatures range from 65 ° F to 75 ° F in the summer and 35 ° F to 45 ° F in the winter ( W2 ) . Because of the diversity of the number of regions this biome is present in , such a vast range of temperatures ca n ' t be ruled out . The climate of freshwater biomes is determined by by a number of factors including location , season and depth of water as the most prominent ones ( W2 ) . On average the temperatures will decline as the water gets deeper . This pattern is much more common in lakes where there is less water movement and more depth compared to a river or stream . Precipitation and temperatures are also dependent on the region the biome is located in . Many of the worlds wetlands are located in temperate zones , so they will have warmer temperatures and greater precipitation . Lakes and rivers ( refer to figure 1 ) located in mountains and valleys may have lower temperatures and less precipitation . | [

From Century , to Enchantress Planter , to Carlisle , to Continental , to Decorator , to Aristocrat , these vintage manufactured " lava lamps " are still loved by thousands today and www . hippielight . com I would like to take this opportunity to thank Christine Baehr for her kindness and donating such an amazing array of photography and material to the www . hippielight . com archive . I ' d also like to thank a wonderful array of people who have kindly donated information or photography to us , with special thanks to : Bohdan & Patti Rudy , Craig French , George Stadnik , Bob Chudy , Ravi Shah and Jeff in California We document lava lamps from all over the world with designs from Crestworth which was founded by Edward Craven Walker and now known as Mathmos , the inventors of the lava lamp . We also follow the history with designs from the US , UK , Continental Europe and Japan . How did the lava lamp arrive in the USA ? In April 1965 , Crestworth ( now known as Mathmos ) , the inventors of the lava lamp , exhibited the Astro lamp at an International Trade Fair at the Atomium in Brussels . There was a company named Mini Office Belgium , which had seen the lamps at another trade show event and they agreed that Crestworth could display their lamps to enhance their exhibits which were furniture units and were designed to close or fold up when not in use - e.g : Mini Offices . Edward Craven Walker attended the trade show with the two gentlemen who ran Mini Office . An American businessman named Frank G Ellerman visited the trade fair where the Astro lamp caught his attention . He expressed interest in selling the lava lamp in USA and Ellerman subsequently returned to the USA , firstly to New York and then to Chicago , writing in early May from his company named Ellerman Development Co . , Ellerman faded out of the scene later . After a problematic period with Wertheimer , Hy Spector would eventually take over the project with a completely different approach to the business . It is actually due to Hy Spector , that the lava lamp in the USA would reach such a success in the 1960s and the 1970s . Products such as : Century , Aristocrat , Consort , Imperial , Continental , Enchantress , Enchantress Planter are still regarded as some of the finest lava lamps of all time .

The lamp on the left is a typical Aristocrat with the white base and cap combination with the gold flecks of paint on the base and the cap . It is not an early white and gold Aristocrat as earlier versions of these lamps featured a gold cap as opposed to the white / gold cap seen . However unlike normal ones this features an inverted tray that is located on the mid - point of the base . This tray contains two musical windup music motors which play sound . Once the music motors have been wound by clockwork action , they will begin to play music . Funky and great for for the young kids . A few of these lamps have been spotted , therefore these lamps are not just customised pieces . Further to this the part which contains the music box has the same white and gold paintwork on it , which makes us believe this was not customised and shipped from the original factory . A few examples of these have been spotted and are very rare , therefore they may have only been produced for a limited time or in a small number .

http://frogsafe.org.au/ponds/raising_tadpoles.shtml | Raising Tadpoles in Containers and Ponds Caring for a few tadpoles and watching them turn into frogs ( metamorphose ) is a fascinating and rewarding activity for young and old alike . It is also becoming more useful for scientific reasons , too . There are still many things we do n ' t know about frogs while many species worldwide are disappearing before our eyes . Some of the information about a frog ' s life cycle are far easier to obtain from frogs and tadpoles in captivity . It is also much easier to discover if any diseases are active as sick or dead tadpoles are hardly ever found in the wild . With the severity of droughts ( becoming more common all the time ) , the rescue of tadpoles from dwindling puddles or overcrowded frog ponds is that much more important . Do remember , though , that if you are in an area where mosquito - borne diseases like Dengue and Ross River Fever occur , you MUST ensure that your tadpole enclosures do not breed any mosquitos . If you live in Queensland , Tadpoles are generally easy to keep IF you have them set up CORRECTLY . If you are considering doing a tadpole rescue , please remember the following : tadpoles need a certain amount of time ( usually measured in months ) so do n ' t collect them unless you can commit for the time they need depending on what you have available to feed them , you might need to spend some money for food and you will need sufficient rainwater for the entire time of their development - be sure you have all your supplies ready before the tadpoles arrive space to develop - a rough rule - of - thumb is no more than 2 tadpoles per litre of water - so only collect what you have containers to accommodate sufficient oxygen which can be in form of an acquarium aerator or the right plants with a little sunshine a watchful eye during metamorphosis ; if the tads have come from somewhere else , they will need to go back so make sure they do n ' t escape ; if you have rescued a ground dwelling frog , they will need help to get out at the right time as they ca n ' t climb out like the tree frogs do Where Are Tadpoles Found ? There are many places to find tadpoles such as a nearby stream , a swamp , a drainage canal , a dam , pond , lake or billabong . ( Remember to think about your own safety in approaching bodies of water - there might be a risk from weeds which your legs can get tangled in , steep slopes , slippery bottoms , etc . In the tropics , there might also be risks from Leptospirosis in the water , dengue mozzies , etc . - children should bring an adult to help collect the tadpoles . ) Sometimes Before You Collect Tadpoles " . There are serious disease problems around most of Australia and you would not want to find yourself with a tank or pond with contagious animals in it ( disinfecting a contaminated pond can be a labourious , dreaded task ) . Some states also have laws to restrict this activity so you need to check first . After you have read the tadpole distribution information , then you are ready to rescue some tadpoles from a rapidly dwindling puddle or receive extras from a frog pond owner in your neighbourhood . One of the most common questions about collecting tadpoles is how to avoid collecting the tadpoles of cane toads ( referred to as TOADpoles for clarity ) . To tell the difference , visit the Toadpoles vs Tadpoles page . Some people believe that collecting any animal from the wild is wrong and some states have regulations to control this . In Queensland , it IS legal to collect and keep tadpoles until they have turned into frogs and you do not need a licence or permit to KEEP tadpoles but you will need a permit to MOVE / rescue tadpoles ( see the Keeping section - QLD regulations page for more details ) . If you have a Recreational Licence to KEEP frogs in captivity , you can not have any tadpoles at all . If the tads were collected on your own property and kept in containers on your own property , then this is not " moving " them . Under the current regulations , once tadpoles have metamorphed ( this means when they leave the water - not when they grow legs ! ) , they must be released back to where they were collected from or close to it within seven days of metamorphosis . This regulation , unfortunately , is completely inadequate when it comes to knowing if the tadpoles picked up any diseases when they were in the wild . If you wanted to be sure they did not have chytrid fungus , for example , you would need to keep the juveniles for at least Most of the known frog diseases ( including chytrid ) affect the little metamorphs very strongly and cause them to die within the first three weeks after they leave the water . If you release all the metamorphs in seven days ( as regulated in QLD ) , you wo n ' t know if they were exposed to disease or not . If you live in QLD , it is up to you whether you abide by the Queensland regulation . IF you are able to find enough tiny food to keep your metamorphs well fed for four weeks There are genuine conservation benefits to collecting tadpoles from the wild which include : Tadpoles normally do n ' t survive in the wild as well as they do in captivity ( with the right care ) because they are food for other animals and sensitive to changing conditions and weather patterns . By raising tadpoles in captivity , more of them can reach metamorphosis to begin their lives as frogs . The learning experience children and adults get from caring for tadpoles and watching them change into frogs helps keep nature and the environment ' in the picture ' . The more urbanised our towns and cities become , the less connection with nature we have . After awhile , it becomes ' out of sight - out of mind ' and we lose sight of its importance and the needs of the species that need a healthy environment to live . Raising tadpoles and thinking about their needs reminds us that nature is still there and needs to be looked Many professional scientists , veterinarians , biology teachers and wildlife managers started out as a keeper of native animals when they were young . By being allowed to care for and learn more about native animals , their interest was nurtured and kept growing until it became their chosen work . Such career choices are far less likely if the occupant has not had a long term interest and interaction with nature and wildlife . Back to Top Eggs before tadpoles If you have actually found eggs to collect , then there are some minor guidelines for them . Set up the container you plan to put the tadpoles in ( according to information below ) but put the eggs in instead . They will appear to be elongated between 24 and 48 hours after being laid and will leave their gelatinous eggshells about another day after that . They are very tiny for several days but start to grow quickly . Because they are so small , it might be tempting to just keep them in a small bowl of The Container The very first step in setting up your tadpoles is asking what are you going to put them in . The best containers are shorter and wider as opposed to taller and narrower . This has to do with the oxygen availability . Any container made of metal is out of the question , including those coated with enamel or porcelain . Glass is good but consider the weight of it when the container has to be moved or cleaned . Broccoli boxes ( foam boxes ; styrofoam for our American friends ! ) are also a good choice . Plastic is good but do n ' t use a bucket that has already been used to hold any cleaning products or other chemicals . The 36cm plastic ' small critter tanks ' sold in pet shops are also a very good choice but only for a small amount of tadpoles . : they have snap - on ventilated lids to keep the tadpoles in and other things out ; you can sit and watch the tadpoles easily ; you can move the tank to where it will get limited sunlight sometime during the day ; and the snap - on lid will be useful when the tadpoles metamorph ( important if you have rescued tadpoles from outside your neighbourhood - the metamorphs will have to be returned to where you found them ) another of the same type of tank can be setup for the little frogs until you are ready to release them Sand on the bottom of your chosen container can be very useful for tadpoles but we have noticed in tropical Australia that mozzies seem to be more attracted to tanks with sand on the bottom . Tadpoles do seem to like to forage around in the sand looking for microbials but sand will make it harder to clean which is a big factor if you are handling a large number of tadpoles in the tank . Where you get the sand is important . Beach sand is great but you must make sure that every trace of salt is removed To save the hassle of leaching salt , use river sand instead from a section of river that is not tidal . Quarry sand can also be used but the it should be soaked the same way as the beach sand for one or two water changes . Aquarium gravel is only recommended if it is the tiny , very round pebbles . Avoid the glass or other sharp edged gravels or larger pebbles . Arrange the sand along the bottom til it is about half an inch / 15mm deep . Then carefully add the rain water ( see Water below ) . Let the tank sit for a few minutes so that the sand settles and the water clears . Then you can add plants ( see Oxygen below ) and tadpoles . ( If you are caring for a batch of tadpoles which has turned out to be diseased , do n ' t bother with the sand as it will make the frequent water changes more difficult . ) If you How many containers will you need ? It depends on how many tadpoles you plan to accommodate . The ' best practice ' is that you should have a litre of water for each tadpole by the time it gets to adult size but for smaller species , you can put two tads per litre . When they are small , you can fit more than that but you will need to divide them up as they get bigger . A container that holds 20 litres of water ( about 4 gallons ) should only have 20 or 30 full Many people ask about snails in the tadpole tank . If you are in the USA , snails should be removed and a full water change done immediately after because snails can carry larval trematode worms ( flatworm parasites ) which attack the tadpoles and cause deformities . ( The deformed frogs problem infamous in the US midwest is caused by these larval parasites . ) Back to Top The Water Tadpoles have gills so they need really clean water just like your aquarium fish . If you plan to get some tadpoles , you ' ll need to get your water ready before you bring the tadpoles home . The best practice is to use rain water but there will be some who ca n ' t use rain water . Are you in an area of industrial contamination of your water supply ? Are you in an area that suffers from acid rain ? Are you in an area of drought ? Then you will need other sources of water . distilled , Nobles Pure , or reverse osmosis you can purchase distilled water or purify your own with a reverse osmosic filter ready to use for your tads spring water can be purchased but the source can be questionable ; check with your local consumer agency to see if they have any information about the supplier and their source for the water ready to use for your tads tap water WITH fluoride can only be used if you have a reverse osmosis or other special water filter attached which specifically says it removes fluoride do not use unless the fluoride is removed tap water withOUT fluoride must be prepared before using for tads this can be left in open containers out in the sun for four days to allow the chllorine to leach out or you can use an instant aquarium ager , stir and wait an hour ionized water do not use for tads do not use for tads Fluoride - helpful or yet another cause of frog decline ? Residents in other areas have had to tolerate fluoride in their water for many years but most of Queensland is finding fluoridated water to be a new experience and , so far , it is very problematic . We have received reports of tadpoles dying overnight when setup in conditioned tap water ( this process does NOT remove the fluoride ) but the greater impact on frog decline is the effects fluoride has on small fish . Prior to fluoride , small fish like guppies , white clouds and Pacific Blue - eyes were used to control mozzies in ponds while not posing any threats to frog eggs and tadpoles . The use of these species allowed pond owners to comply with the QLD Health Act but also provide a place for local frogs to breed . Fluoridated water has changed all that . The fluoride is causing several dramatic changes in these fish , affecting their behaviour , ability to reproduce and even ability to stay alive . There are studies overseas which reflect some of a ) anorexia - the fish stop eating and slowly starve to death b ) reproductive failure - they stop breeding c ) failure to thrive - probably connected to the anorexia ( about 97 % of all the fish we have acquired in the past two years have died quickly even though we keep them in rain water ( they would have been bred in fluoridated water and their health impacts did not reverse when switched to rainwater ) d ) changes in the brain - these fish which were once safe for frog ponds but they are now voracious predators of frog eggs and tadpoles which means no frog can successfully breed in ponds stocked with such fish We recommend that every Queenslander makes your concerns known to your state government representative . If you have a frog pond , you should ask many questions of your fish supplier as to whether they have a reverse osmosis water filter in use to remove the fluoride from their breeding and sales tanks . If your fish retailer gets their supply from someone else , you ' ll need to ask them to chase up the question with their source to be sure reverse osmosis water is being used throughout their distribution system . If your area has already been fluoridated , please do NOT use the hose to top up your ponds . Put aside some very clean buckets to collect your own rainwater for use in your ponds ( and for all other pets and bird baths ) . If your pond has already had fluoridated water used in it , please drain it ( down the loo ) and get it ready for this year ' s wet season with new fish and plants . If you have a pond with the breeding fish species mentioned above and have not yet Back to other suggestions regarding water . . . . . Many houses have old copper pipes and no amount of aging will remove the copper from the water . If this is the situation in your home , it is far better to collect rain water for your tadpoles . It ' s easier and cleaner and it falls free out of the sky ( if your local council charges for water , then this last point will ring home to you ) ! When collecting rain water , it would be better to avoid water coming off the roof if your roof is metal . Arrange a series of Regular additions of fresh water is crucial for the tadpoles . If you have regular rainfalls , you can let the tank sit under a tree or shrub in the garden and allow the rainfalls to refresh your tank . You just need to watch the level to make sure it does n ' t overflow and wash away some of your tadpoles . You can scoop out some water when it is too close to the top . If there is more than a five day gap in the rainfall , then you can add some of your already If the water is not refreshed often enough , it will start to go off and the tadpoles wo n ' t look as good . Watch for cloudiness or any sort of buildup of sediment in the tank . The water does n ' t have to be " crystal clear " but you should be able to see the bottom . If you ca n ' t , then you can change over about half of the water at least once a week . It is a very good idea to buy an ammonia test kit from the When tadpoles are not doing so well - whether because of poor setup conditions , a contaminant getting into the water , or the tadpoles are diseased - they will change the appearance of the water . A common event is for the water to turn a cloudy yellowish - white and there might be a slimy series of bubbles all along the top of the water ' s edge and around the edges of plants which touch the surface . This is not a good sign . You might need to sacrifice these by sending them to a veterinary If you have been refreshing the water at least once a week , then conditions should look good . If it has gone longer than that or if you have a large number of tadpoles in the tank ( say 10 tads per litre of water ) , you might need to do a 50 % or even a 90 % water change . Carefully scoop out the water and refill slowly so that the tadpoles and any material on the bottom does not get churned up . You can also use a slightly wider version of aquarium tubing to If the tank has been left too long and the water is so bad that tadpoles are looking poorly , then a complete water change is needed . The easiest way is to set up from scratch another container with fresh rain water in it and gently scoop up the tadpoles using a soft net to shift them into the new tank . Be careful not to bump or scratch the tadpoles . They have soft skin and damage during handling can result in deformities when the tadpoles turn into frogs . Dump the old water down the toilet and Oxygen and Hiding According to the calls we get , lack of oxygen seems to be one of the most common mistakes in raising tadpoles . If you are raising tadpoles collected from a stream , it is best to have an aerator running gently ; if they are from stagnant water , aeration might be disruptive and stressful so underwater aquatic plants will be essential for providing oxygen . These plants also provide some shelter and hiding areas for the tadpoles and the tads might also eat algae from the surface of the leaves . . Many people choose decorative plants such as water lilies , reeds or floating ferns but these do not provide enough oxygen for the tadpoles and , the amount of the water ' s surface they interfere with may actually reduce the amount of oxygen available . Leafy plants suspended in the water column are the best type of plants to use . A small amount of floating fern can be used but this should not be allowed to cover over more than 25 % of the surface . Even pest weeds such as combomba are okay so long as they In Queensland , Elodea is commonly available in the shops and grows well so you can start with a bunch and spread it around . The tadpole droppings will fertilise it so you ' ll have more of it by the time the season ends . In the southern states , however , Elodea is a declared pest and not allowed . Whatever plant you use , you want something that is entirely under the water , has a long , stringy growing habit , and lots of small leaves along the length of the stem . Do n ' In order for the plants to survive and produce oxygen for the tadpoles , they will need some sun each day . The tadpoles also need sunlight to obtain vitamin D which in turn helps them process calcium . Position the tadpole containers where they can get an hour or two a day of sun but no more than that . Too much sun will heat the water too much ! . The Food Tadpoles have a long , coiled intestine which is designed for eating plant matter but they love protein when they can get it ( in the same way that we love chocolate cake ! ) . If you can find a clean creek , you can collect some leaves from the bottom which have algae growing on them and throw them in the tadpole tanks ( not too many ! ) . These leaves will settle to the bottom and the tadpoles can hide in them as well . You can also use paw paw ( papaya ) leaves which There ' s a saying : " if in doubt , leave it out " . If you are not sure if something could be toxic ( say a plant in your yard ) , do n ' t risk it on the tadpoles . You can use other green items for the tadpoles such as sliced up zucchini , green grapes sliced in half , peas ( crush slightly to break the outer skin ) , broccoli ( frozen first ) , green capsicum ( pepper ) . Just feed small amount of these until they are gone before Tadpoles need calcium and there are two ways you can add this . Next time you are at the beach , collect some of those cuttlebones . Rinse very thoroughly to remove salt . Break up if they are large - for a container about 30cm ( one foot ) long , you can drop in a piece of cuttlebone about 4 or 5cm ( 2 inches ) in length . Leave in for the entire time of tadpole development . This method might also deliver some other trace elements for the tadoles . The second way is to buy liquid calcium . Whenever you have done a water change or there has been at least 10 % new rainfall into the tank , you can add 2 drops of liquid calcium supplement per litre of water in the tank into the water . One drop per litre of liquid B complex also helps but check the ingredients on the label carefully . A lot of products marketed as ' health foods ' contain nasty additives . ( We use the brand Grants of Australia , www . lateralfood . com ) . Do NOT feed your tadpoles fish flakes , cichlid granules , bread , any kind of meat product , turtle food , axylotyl food , or pellets made for other animals such as chicken pellets . Tadpoles have a vegetarian intestinal tract ; insect proteins ( such as frozen bloodworms ) are a better protein to use occasionally . . Feeding tadpoles requires small amounts of food frequently . You should only throw in a small amount of food which will be gone in about 8 hours . It is better to throw in food a couple times a day rather than once a day or every other day . Do n ' t put a couple days worth of food in to save time - this will instantly foul the water and you ' ll have to spend a lot more time doing a partial or full water change . A tadpole ' s whole life is to eat The Critical Time : Metamorphosis When you see front legs ( arms ) on your tadpoles , they are fast approaching the delicate stage of turning into a frog . This is an amazing stage in a frog ' s life where the sort of special effects that you see in some movies actually take place in real life . At this time : the mouthparts completely change gills stop functioning and lungs start to work the intestinal track changes from the long intestine of a plant eater to the short intestine of a protein eater ( insects are almost entirely protein and fibre ) the skin changes from the smooth , slimy skin of an underwater dweller to porous skin which allows air and water through limbs containing a skeleton grow out of a body which had no limbs or bones the tail muscle and fin deteriorates and is reabsorbed by the body When your new frogs leave the water , they might still have a full tail but they can jump . The tail will shrink and be gone in one or two days . ( Each species is different so some will leave the water with full tails and others will leave the water with the tail almost gone . ) Although most of the tadpoles I ' ve kept simply shimmy or climb up the side of the tank when they leave the water , not all tadpoles will do this . You should put something in the container which Some species are unable to climb out of the water at all , even with a rock . The Ornate Burrowing frog ( for example ) lays its eggs in flooded grassy areas and has a fast developing tadpole . Ideally , the tadpoles are ready to leave the water by the time the puddle they ' re in dries up . They simply wait for the water to drain away . This does n ' t happen in a tank or pond so the metamorph floats on the surface for a day and then drowns . If you are Another way to allow ground dwelling frog metamorphs to leave the water safely is to setup a separate " tilt " tank which is a typical tank propped up at one end by a brick . Pour the water so that it only reaches about 3 / 4 of the way up along the tilted floor . Add some underwater plant for oxygen and just shift any tadpoles into this tank as soon as their front limbs have popped out . They will not be eating much after this point so only a very tiny amount of food needs to Experience is the best teacher when it comes to metamorphs and the species in your area . But the most important thing when a metamorph emerges from the water is that is should be removed from the tadpole tank immediately . ( If you are raising tadpoles which came from your yard or neighbourhood originally , then they can be allowed to simply take off on their own . If you are rescuing tadpoles from another location , you need to catch each metamorph and place it in a tank setup for metamorphs so it can be returned to its If you plan to keep your new frogs for a short time or if you have rescued tadpoles which will need to be returned , you should have a small plastic pet tank ready to place the little frogs in . Put some leaf litter and a small piece of curved bark inside for the frogs to hide in . Some small branches from a bush will also provide hiding and perching space for tree frogs . If you have rescued a ground dwelling species , use some of the same sand you prepared for the tadpole tanks in the Spray the inside of the frog tank with rainwater or non - fluoridated , aged tap water once daily ( not too heavily ) so that the humidity stays high . A shallow jar cap filled with rain water can be placed on the bottom of the tank - but make sure that the water is no deeper than the the frogs ' shoulders when it is sitting so that the frog wo n ' t drown ( some species do learn to switch back and forth between lungs and gills but some species do n ' t and drown The new frogs will not start to eat until the tail has been completely reabsorbed . Once the tail is gone , trap some tiny flies ( such as vinegar or fruit flies ) and put them in the tank . To keep them in the tank , a sheet of thin fabric ( like chiffon or muslin ) can be stretched over the top of the tank but under the lid . Housefly larvae ( maggots ) are also enjoyed by metamorphs . Some species of ground dwelling frogs like those tiny dark ants so try some in the Ready to Rejoin the Bush When it is time to release your frogs , the best place to do this is usually at the place you collected the tadpoles from - - although sometimes , this is not the best thing to do . If you rescued the tadpoles from a swimming pool or flooded curb or from a stream that has since been polluted or developed over , then you need to find someplace else nearby to release the frogs . Choosing the best release site depends on the species of frog you have . Refer to a frog guide and see what is The best time to release tadpoles is on cloudy / rainy days or late afternoons so that the sun is not too strong , the temps are starting to cool but there is still enough light for the tadpoles to move around and choose hiding spots . The tadpoles are dying - - what ' s wrong ? If you find that large numbers of tadpoles are dying in your containers , then something is wrong . Use this checklist to see if something needs to be fixed : Is the water clear or is it starting to go ' off ' ? Have you done an ammonia test ? Has anyone put their hands in the water in the last 24 hours ? Have any cane toads gotten into the container ? Have any chemicals splashed into the water ? Has anyone sprayed any room fresheners , carpet cleaners , bug sprays or other aerosols nearby ? What sort of water did you use ? Was it fluoridated tap water or water with algae in it ? Did you use an old container of fish food ( which might have gone mouldy ) ? Did you wash the lettuce leaves thoroughly before freezing ? Is there enough oxygen in the water ? Do the tadpoles spend any time hanging vertically from the water ' s surface ? If yes , this means there ' s not enough oxygen . Are the tadpoles growing at very erratic rates - some are getting big while many others are still the same size they were when they were a week old ? ( This usually shows they are too overcrowded in the container . ) Is the container getting too much sun ? Adding an aquarium thermometer will help you monitor the temperature - above 32 degrees celsius it too high ! 27 C is a good temperature . Are the tadpole deaths occuring at different times during their growth or are all the deaths occuring at very specific stages such as when rear legs are just starting or the tadpoles are ready to metamorph ? Are any air bubbles , crimped tails , colour shifts to very pale or very dark , shrinking bodies , twisted legs , swimming in circles or rolling upside down present ? Are only a few tadpoles dying or are most of them dying ? Are the tadpoles okay while all the deaths are occuring only after they metamorph ? Are the metamorphs getting enough food ? Did you disinfect the tank and rinse it thoroughly since you used it for the previous batch of tadpoles ? Was the frog tank disinfected and rinsed well before the metamorphs were set up in it ? Was the bucket you used to refill their tank used for any cleaning products ? If you are in Australia and you are having problems with your tadpoles that ca n ' t be fixed by the checklist above , then please contact us to discuss it . If you live in FNQ , we might ask you to give us the remaining live tadpoles so that we can raise them ourselves to try to determine what the problem might be . If you are overseas , you need to find someone local to help you . Phone your nearest Fish and Wildlife office or a university that has a vet school or biology department There are many details to cover when setting up tadpoles in containers , but if these are done properly , raising tadpoles will be very easy and not take up very much of your time . It ' s only when the setup is wrong that a lot of labour comes into it . Good luck with your tadpoles and enjoy the experience ! Tadpole keeping in Queensland Rescuing tadpoles is very important to frog conservation but there are laws which can be used to prevent you from keeping tadpoles if you do not take the right steps to ensure mozzies ca n ' t reproduce . There are two government agencies which are involved in visiting properties to inspect for mozzie breeding sites . They can issue you with a warning and you can be prosecuted if you do not comply with the warning . The first one is the Tropical Public Health Unit in Cairns ( phone 4050 - 3600 ) . They only inspect properties when a case of Dengue has been reported in the immediate vicinity such as a near neighbour . They are only concerned with the breeding of mozzies which are known to carry a disease and they can provide information and advice to you so that you know what needs to be done around your property to stop disease - carrying mozzies from breeding . They can identify mozzie species and they are also experimenting with various types of The second department which can show up on any property is your local council ( e.g. , Cairns Regional Council ) and their inspectors will be looking for breeding sites for ANY mosquito species - not just the disease causing ones . If you are found to have any mozzie breeding sites on your property , council can issue you with a notice under the QLD Health Act . We have received some complaints from Cairns residents who have expressed concern about what is happening on their properties when they are not home and who have been ordered to get rid of their tadpoles . Residents have come home to find bird baths tipped upside down , or been alone at the back of the property only to turn around and have council staff standing behind them ! In one case , we were informed that council staff dumped out a tank full of rescued frog tadpoles while the homeowner was at work . We contacted Cairns Council to Cairns City Council inspectors do NOT have the authority to wander around your property if you are not home . They are allowed to walk up to the front door and knock - if no - one is home , they are supposed to leave a notice in your letterbox for you to contact them . Council inspectors are NOT supposed to interfere with items on your property . If a breach is found , they are supposed to issue you with a warning to comply . Council inspectors will have clearly visible photographic ID badges and will be wearing tan jumpsuits with the CRC logo embroidered on them . Council inspectors are supposed to be knowledgable about how to keep tadpoles without breeding mozzies and should be prepared to discuss your tanks and ponds with you if they feel you are not taking sufficient action to avoid mozzie breeding . Both the TPH Unit and council inspectors can order you to get rid of your tadpoles but they CAN NOT dump out a tank or pond of tadpoles themselves ( frogs are protected so this would be a violation of the Nature Conservation Act ) . If this should happen on your property , you should lodge a complaint immediately with proof of who disposed of the tadpoles ( you ' ll probably get a warning notice ) . The complaint would go to QPWS , Building 2 , 5B Sheridan Street , Cairns , 4870 . If you are If you are taking the correct steps to prevent mozzie breeding in your tadpole enclosures , then there are no grounds for either agency to force you to get rid of your rescued tadpoles . The steps you can take to keep your tadpoles and comply with the QLD Health Act are : The most effective and least labourious method is to have small fish in the enclosure ; natives are better but guppies will do ( before you source your fish , see the Pond considerations page for information about fluoridation and small fish ) . Pacific Blue - eyes are a lovely native fish from FNQ but be aware that they are sensitive to change and must be introduced to the tadpole enclosure according to proper aquarium procedures ( keep fish in bag and hang over side ; once an hour , take out a cup of water and add a You can also use tight fitting covers on tanks to prevent mozzie access but they must be fitted tightly to the lids . Sunlight is needed during the day so we surround the tanks with some mozzie coils and clear the zone first ; then we take the covers off and replace them before the coils run out . We use chiffon fabric which is sheer and fine and lets lots of air and light through . We keep the fabric stretched taught over the tops of the tanks by cutting lengths of elastic ( from the fabric shop ) Other garden items can be sources of mozzie breeding as well such as glogged gutters , bromeliads ( there is a debate on this but be aware ) , and plant cuttings you are trying to strike . Many brom growers believe that the plants excrete a chemical which prevents mozzies using the water in the centre stem but the researchers dispute this and point to published papers on the testing that has been done on broms . A small drop of vegetable oil in the centre of each plant will create a film that prevents reproduction but we do Gutters need to be kept cleared and plant cuttings can be placed in bottles with narrow necks such as soft drink bottles . Use cotton wool or aquarium wool stuffed into the neck to prevent mozzies accessing the inside of the bottle . There is a red wriggler which also finds its way into tanks , especially if you have sand in the bottom , and these are nothing to worry about as far as the legislation is concerned . They are midges ( sand flies ) , they are not a mozzie and they do not carry any diseases ( well , not any diseases that are of concern to the authorities ) . The fish should love them . Dengue mozzies in particular will breed throughout the dry season and they have a preference for the colour black - start changing over your potted plants to other brighter colours or terra cotta and avoid the cheap black plastic pots and dishes . If you have been inspected and ordered to remove your tadpole enclosures , please contact us . We can advise you where to release the tads or we might take them ourselves to complete their rescue and development . | [

http://fromscratchmom.blogspot.com/2012/10/shortening-mens-dress-shirt-sleeves.html | October 15 , 2012 Shortening Men ' s Dress Shirt Sleeves Instructions My husband asked me to make these long sleeve dress shirts into short sleeve dress shirts . I got them completed so I thought I ' d share with you how I did it . Here are my instructions for making a man ' s long sleeve dress shirt into a short sleeve dress shirt . First , measure an existing short sleeve dress shirt to know how long to make the sleeves . On mine , the top measured about 10.5 " . The bottom measured about 5.25 " . For seam allowance , add 1.5 " . So on mine , I measured on the long sleeve shirt 12 " at the top of the sleeve and 6.75 " on the bottom of the sleeve . Draw a line across the sleeve . Cut along the line and removed the excess sleeve . Turn the shirt inside out and press up a hem of 1 / 2 " . Then , fold it up 1 " and press again . Pin it in place . Sew along the hem . Here ' s the finished sewing job still inside out . And here ' s the finished sewing job right side out . Repeat the process with the other sleeve . With a couple of the shirts , I did struggle a bit where the sleeve width changed a lot just in that 1.5 " of hem . The hem would bunch a bit near the seam , but I went ahead and sewed it and they turned out alright . Unless people look closely , I do n ' t think they ' ll notice .

Elsa was born with the powers to manipulate ice and snow and used them to entertain her sister . However , Elsa ' s lack of control resulted in her living in fear of hurting anyone with her powers , and she spent much of her early life shut out from the world . Though it pained her greatly to do so , Elsa also saw it necessary to distance herself from Anna , so there would be no risk of hurting her . After her powers were exposed and nearly harmed several people , Elsa fled Arendelle to ensure such an incident never occurred again . In spite of her self - imposed exile , Elsa found peace , finally able to experiment with her powers without the fear of causing any more harm . Ultimately , Elsa was able to rekindle her relationship with her sister after learning how to fully control and appreciate her powers . Contents show History Early life Early childhood Elsa was born on the winter solstice to King Agnarr and Queen Iduna of Arendelle . She weighed seven pounds , and was born during the occurrence of the aurora borealis . Her birth was also accompanied by an unanticipated weather event which blanketed the village with crystals of ice . When Elsa was three years old , Anna was born , and the two grew to be the best of friends . Eventually , Elsa discovered that she had the ability to produce ice and snow and used her powers to enhance her play with Anna . Accident One night , eight - year - old Elsa found herself being shook awake by Anna , who could not sleep due to the activity of the northern lights and wanted to play . Though Elsa initially insisted they sleep , she excitedly got up when Anna suggested building a snowman . The two stealthily set out for the spacious Great Hall , where Elsa used her magic to cover the room with ice and snow , much to Anna ' s delight . The sisters immediately tasked themselves with what they set out to do by building a snowman , whom Elsa named Olaf . The two continued to play , skating around the Great Hall and even sliding down a snowy hill . Elsa was horrified that she had hurt with her magic . However , their innocent night - time excursion took a deadly turn . Anna began to leap from one snowy heap to another , encouraging her sister Elsa to use her magic to take her to greater heights . But as Anna jumped faster and faster , and higher and higher , Elsa found herself struggling to keep pace . When she slipped on the icy floor while Anna was in mid - leap , Elsa desperately fired a bolt of ice magic in an attempt to cushion Anna ' s fall ; in Elsa ' s haste , the beam was poorly aimed and struck Anna in the face , sending Pabbie ' s warning After briefly struggling to open the frozen doors , Agnarr and Iduna burst in . While Agnarr remarked that Elsa ' s powers were getting out of control , Iduna checked on Anna , concerned that she was " ice - cold " . Agnarr went to the library and found a book containing an image of a troll using healing magic along with a map to the Valley of the Living Rock . Without further ado , the family departed for the valley on horseback ; Elsa ' s fear resulted in the formation of a trail of ice behind the horse she was riding . Upon arriving arriving at the valley , Agnarr called out a plea for help . The trolls responded by rolling out into the open to greet the unexpected visitors and were surprised upon realizing it was the royal family . An elderly troll , Pabbie , made his way over and examined Anna . Though Anna ' s state seemed critical , Pabbie noted that it was fortunate Anna had not been struck in the heart and that healing her head would be a relatively simple task . After Agnarr urged Pabbie to do whatever was necessary , Elsa watched as the elderly troll proceeded to remove her magic , even going so far as to modify Anna ' s memories of her sister ' s powers as a precautionary measure . To her family ' s relief , Anna smiled , indicating that Pabbie Elsa was alarmed by Pabbie ' s warning regarding her powers . Pabbie then turned to Elsa and warned her that her powers would only continue to grow and that they were beautiful but dangerous . He urged Elsa to learn to control her abilities but commented that " fear [ would ] be [ her ] enemy " . At this , Agnarr assured Pabbie that Elsa could learn to control her magic and decided that until then , the castle gates would be locked and Elsa ' s contact with people would be limited , including with Anna . Agnarr had the two separated and moved Elsa and her belongings to a new room . Though Elsa sadly glanced at Anna before locking herself within her new room , she realized the necessity of the situation and accepted it . Hidden from the world Though Elsa tried her best to control her powers , they continued to grow at a rapid rate . Though Anna tried repeatedly to entice her out to play , Elsa always turned her sister down . In the years that followed , Elsa ' s only contact with others was through her parents ; in particular , Agnarr worked closely with Elsa to help her attain control , even teaching her a mantra : " Conceal it , do n ' t feel it . Do n ' t let it show . " When Elsa accidentally froze her window while gazing out at freshly fallen snow , Agnarr decided to give her a pair of gloves in the hopes they could stifle her powers . However , in spite of the gloves , Elsa ' s powers continued to manifest themselves , and when she accidentally froze a portion of her room , Elsa was horrified at the increasing potency of her abilities and even refused her parents to come close , fearing she would hurt them . When Elsa was eighteen , Agnarr and Iduna had to depart on a two - week journey ; Elsa formally curtsied them as they left , but worried about her powers in the absence of her parents , she questioned them about the necessity of their voyage . After expressing his faith that Elsa would be alright , Agnarr departed with Iduna . However , the two monarchs perished during their journey when their boat capsized during a deadly storm at sea ; devastated by this loss , Elsa remained hidden in her room during her parents ' funeral , Coronation day The ceremony Nervous about her powers being exposed , Elsa practiced suppressing them Three years after the passing of Agnarr and Iduna , Elsa was finally of age and ready to embrace the responsibilities of being a queen . The castle gates were to be open for her coronation to accommodate the representatives from other lands who had come to witness the ceremony . It was also an opportunity for the citizens of Arendelle to see their new queen . Having hid from the world for so long , Elsa was apprehensive about the day due to the potential risk her powers would be exposed . She practiced grasping the orb and scepter in the library while gazing at a portrait of her father ' s coronation and repeating their mantra to calm her nerves . Though she froze the candlestick and ornament with which she was practicing with , Elsa reminded herself the gates would only be open for that day and proceeded to tell the guards to open them . She then headed out onto a balcony that overlooked the courtyard to view the arriving guests before making her way to the chapel for her coronation . Her fears overtaking her , Elsa began to cover the orb and scepter with a layer of frost . At the chapel , Elsa was crowned by the bishop , but before being formally ordained as queen , she was required to grasp the orb and scepter . However , as Elsa moved to take the items , the bishop stopped her , reminding her to first remove her gloves . Her nerves threatening to overwhelm her , Elsa did as she was told , lifting the items with her bare hands and turning to face the crowd . As her anxiety caused the orb and scepter to acquire a thin layer of ice , Elsa became increasingly worried about her powers being noticed and barely allowed the bishop Reconnecting Initially only capable of awkward glances , Elsa and Anna slowly grew comfortable near each other . Following the ceremony , the delegates headed into the Great Hall for the post - coronation festivities where they danced and ate . After Kai introduced them to the guests , Elsa and Anna found themselves standing next to each other and unsure of what to say , they both exchanged surreptitious glances . However , Elsa finally greeted her sister and though Anna was taken aback , they slowly eased into a comfortable conversation . This reunion was interrupted by Kai , who introduced the two sisters to the Duke of Weselton , who represented Arendelle ' s closest trading partner and wanted to offer Elsa her first dance as queen . Elsa politely refused the Duke ' s offer , stating she did not dance and suggested that the Duke dance with Anna . Before Anna could protest , the Duke pulled her away and after Anna looked at her desperately , Elsa silently apologized with a wave . Elsa told Anna the castle could not always be so lively . As Anna continued to dance with the Duke , Elsa watched from afar , amused at her sister ' s predicament . When Anna finished the dance and returned to her side , the two of them briefly poked fun at the Duke . Anna commented that she wished the castle could always be this vibrant , and though Elsa agreed , she caught herself and interjected that it was not possible . Anna asked why , but Elsa interrupted by saying " it just ca n ' t " . When Anna excused herself , Elsa sadly watched her Her powers revealed A short time later , Elsa found Anna making her way through the crowd to introduce Hans , whom she acknowledged with a courteous subtle nod . Their previous conversation forgotten , Anna happily informed Elsa of her intention to marry Hans . Shocked by her sister ' s announcement , Elsa firmly told Anna that there would be no marriage and asked Anna if they could have a moment alone . However , Anna refused and promptly told Elsa that if she had an objection , she should address them together . Relenting , Elsa told Anna that she could not marry a man she had just met . Though Anna continued to argue , going so far as to question Elsa ' s knowledge of love , Elsa asserted that she would not bless the marriage and turned to a guard , telling him that the party was over and that the gates were to be closed . He swiftly obliged , much to Anna ' s dismay . Elsa tried to walk away , but Anna frantically reached for her , removing her glove in the process . Afraid that she would be unable to contain her powers , Elsa reached for the glove , but Anna held it away and said that she could not stand living in isolation anymore . Though it pained her to say it , Elsa curtly responded by suggesting that Anna leave . As Elsa turned away again , Anna began to loudly question her , wanting to know what she had done to deserve this treatment . Elsa tried to keep Elsa accidentally exposed her powers following a sudden outburst . Her patience wearing thin , Elsa whirled to face Anna and gestured angrily with her hand , causing ice spikes to erupt across the floor . Immediately regretting losing control of her temper , Elsa slowly realized she had nearly hurt the party - goers and left the room , hoping to find temporary solace in the courtyard . To her horror , the citizens of Arendelle had gathered in large numbers , hoping to catch a glimpse of their new queen . Disconcerted , Elsa backed into a fountain and grasped its edge , causing the water to freeze solid , to the shock of the citizens . The situation only escalated when the Duke of Weselton came into the courtyard with his guards and demanded that someone stop her ; Elsa pleaded with the Duke to keep his distance but accidentally shot a blast of ice at him , causing him and his guards to slip . Further provoked , he called her a " monster " . Glancing around at the fearful crowd , Elsa decided to flee Arendelle , despite Anna ' s attempts to convince her otherwise . As she raced across the fjord , she accidentally froze it and cast a spell of eternal winter over the entire kingdom . Alone , but free Letting go of her fears , Elsa embraced her powers and freely experimented with her abilities After she ran well into the night , Elsa found herself at the North Mountain . Initially , she brooded over her loneliness and her failure to conceal her powers . However , realizing that she was too far away to hurt anyone , Elsa began to experiment with her powers , embracing the aspect of her being that she had tried to keep hidden for so long . Though she started out with simple blasts of snow , Elsa slowly gained more confidence , rebuilding Olaf and constructing an icy staircase to cross a gorge . Wishing to test her limits , Elsa stamped her foot , generating a massive snowflake ; building upon this hexagonal base , Elsa raised her arms upward and caused the snowflake to rise on ice beams , building walls , archways , and a glistening chandelier as she ascended . Wishing to live out her days alone in her new palace , Elsa resolved never to return to Arendelle , and in a symbolic renunciation of her past , she threw away her crown , let down her hair , and transformed her coronation dress into a new ice dress . With the sun rising , Elsa stepped out onto a balcony , and illuminated by the light of dawn , she reveled in her newfound freedom . Elsa ' s curse Though Elsa was determined to live alone , Anna still managed to find her . When she heard her sister enter the ice palace and call out her name , Elsa stood at the top of a staircase , greeting Anna with a gleaming smile . Struck by the beauty of Elsa ' s new look , Anna wasted no time in complimenting her sister . Thanking her for the kind words , Elsa seemed to welcome Anna ' s presence , informing her that prior to leaving Arendelle , she had never known the extent of her capabilities . Despite Anna ' s best efforts , Elsa was still haunted by the past . At that moment , Elsa was astonished to see Olaf gleefully entering the ice palace of his own accord . With Olaf present , Elsa reminisced on her happy childhood with Anna , but the memory of the accident soon overwhelmed her , and with her fleeting smile replaced by a look of sorrow , Elsa turned away from Anna , dismissing her . But Anna refused to relent and pursued Elsa up the steps , fervently insisting that they could make things right Elsa continued to maintain that Anna return home and acknowledged her self - imposed exile as a necessary act to protect everyone . However , after being informed that she had cast an eternal winter over the kingdom and brought suffering upon its inhabitants , Elsa grew fearful . She stated that she did not know how to reverse the effects of her magic and began to produce a swirl of snow around herself in panic . Horrified at what her powers had done , Elsa regarded them as a " curse " once more . Despite her sister ' With Anna ' s revelation that Arendelle was plagued by eternal winter , Elsa found herself feeling her powers to be a curse once more Whirling around at the sound of Anna ' s cry of pain , Elsa gasped at her sister ' s kneeling form but had little time to process what had happened , as Kristoff rushed in to help Anna to her feet . Scared by the appearance of another individual that she could hurt with her powers , Elsa demanded that they leave immediately . However , Anna remained resolute in staying until Elsa agreed to accompany her , saying they could figure out what to do together . Seeing no other alternative , Elsa used her powers to animate a massive snow monster , Marshmallow , who proceeded to expunge the trespassers . Growing fear Summit siege Taking stock of what Anna said about the winter , Elsa tasked herself with controlling her abilities , reverting back to her father ' s mantra . With Anna gone , Elsa tasked herself with controlling her powers , reverting back to the mantra her father had taught her . However , this proved futile ; as Elsa paced back and forth throughout the top floor of her palace , her emotional state caused ice spikes to grow from the walls and ceiling , transforming the pristine palace sanctuary into yet another prison . The next morning at sunrise , Hans arrived at the palace with a group of royal guards and the Duke of Weselton ' s thugs . From the palace doors , Elsa watched Marshmallow attack the intruders but was spotted by the Duke ' s thugs , who abandoned the fight against the snowman to pursue her . As the thugs charged up the ice staircase leading to the palace doors , Elsa turned and fled to the top floor . However , the thugs soon caught up and cornered Elsa , preparing to finish her off with their crossbows Scared , Elsa begged to be left alone , but her plea fell on deaf ears , as one of the Duke ' s thugs fired an arrow . Lifting her arms instinctively to shield herself , Elsa was able to create an ice wall that stopped the arrow just inches from her face . The thugs tried to reposition themselves for another attempt on the queen ' s life , but Elsa was now spurred into action and defended herself with her magic . Realizing it was them or her , she fought with a newfound ferocity , pinning Driven by rage , Elsa would have killed the ' s bodyguards if not for ' timely intervention . When Elsa was mere moments from giving into her rage , Hans arrived with the rest of the troop and begged Elsa to stop , telling her not to be " the monster they [ feared ] " she was . Realizing the truth in Hans ' words , Elsa stopped her assault on the thugs . At this point , the thug pinned to the wall took advantage of Elsa ' s mercy and prepared to fire a bolt at the unsuspecting queen . Catching sight of this movement , Hans rushed to the thug and disrupted his aim Imprisoned While Elsa was incapacitated , Hans brought her back to Arendelle and locked her in the castle dungeons . As Elsa awoke , still slightly disoriented , she noticed a window . She tried to rush over and confirm what Anna had said about an eternal winter but found herself pulled taut by shackles – resembling metal gloves – chained to the center of the cell ' s floor . Pulling against her restraints , Elsa managed to glance out the window and was horrified to see Arendelle frozen over , with more ice and snow continuing to accumulate on the landscape . Believing herself to be a danger to Arendelle , Elsa pleaded with Hans to be freed . At that moment , Hans entered with a torch ; Elsa turned to the prince and asked why she was brought back to Arendelle . Though Hans replied that he could not allow the men to kill her , Elsa insisted that her presence in Arendelle put everyone at risk and asked for Anna . However , Hans revealed that Anna had not yet returned from the mountains , causing Elsa to look out to the storm , concerned for her sister ' s welfare in such turbulent weather conditions . Hans then implored Elsa to stop the winter weather and restore summer , but the queen desperately told him that she had no control over her powers and that it was imperative she be freed . Seeing the truth in Elsa ' s eyes , Hans said he would do what he could and turned to leave the room . Distressed , Elsa heard cracking and looked down to her shackles , realizing they were starting to freeze over . The blizzard Escape With her emotional state worsening and the need to leave Arendelle overwhelming her , Elsa looked with horror as the storm outside began to intensify ; she glanced around her cell and realized it was icing over . Trying to free herself , Elsa pulled at her shackles . Suddenly , she heard the sound of approaching guards and pulled with increased urgency ; to the guards ' dismay , the ice had frozen the doors shut , providing Elsa enough time to free herself . The weight of the ice was too great for the cells ' structure , Devastated by Hans ' purporting of Anna ' s death , Elsa collapsed in grief , halting the storm in the process . As Elsa continued to struggle to navigate through her own storm , she was approached by the dark figure of Hans . Though Elsa tried to flee from him , the prince told her she could not escape the circumstances . With nothing to say for herself , Elsa turned to face Hans and simply implored him to take care of Anna . At this , Hans informed the queen that her sister had returned frail and cold , as Elsa had frozen her heart . Shocked , Elsa had her worst fear confirmed when Hans went on to state Anna ' s sacrifice With Elsa ' s back turned , Hans unsheathed his blade and slowly began to advance on the grieving queen , preparing to strike her . However , before the blade made contact , Anna threw herself between Elsa and Hans , and with a final scream of defiance , she froze to solid ice . The sword made contact with her frozen hand and shattered , and produced a force that knocked Hans to the ground . Alarmed at the sound of her sister , Elsa whirled around and was devastated upon seeing Anna ' s frozen form . As Elsa caressed Anna ' s face , sorrow began to Sven , and Olaf mourned along silently . The citizens and dignitaries gathered at the castle walls bowed their heads in silent acknowledgment of Anna ' s sacrifice . Though all seemed lost , Anna ' s form suddenly began to thaw , and the princess emerged alive and well ; sensing movement , Elsa gazed up at Anna ' s face , and with a mix of astonishment and relief , she embraced her sister . Initially unsure why Anna had chosen to save her , Elsa was touched upon hearing her sister reply simply , " I love you " . Understanding dawned upon Olaf , and the snowman commented that Anna ' s sacrifice was an act of true love and that it had thawed her The Great Thaw Elsa realized that love was the key to controlling her powers and finally restored summer to Arendelle . Elsa took a moment to process Olaf ' s statement and came to the conclusion that " love will thaw " . Realizing love was the key to controlling her powers , Elsa looked to Anna , confidently held out her arms , and raised them , causing the ice and snow to lift up into the air . Gathering the mass of snow into an enormous snowflake , Elsa spread her hands and scattered it across the sky , leaving a warm summer sky . After demonstrating her newfound control over her powers , Elsa happily turned to Anna The peaceful and happy atmosphere was interrupted by the sound of Hans , who had been knocked off his feet from the force of striking Anna ' s frozen body . To Elsa ' s surprise , Kristoff started to walk over to Hans , intent on teaching him a lesson . However , Anna stopped Kristoff and chose to personally deal with Hans . When Hans expressed confusion at her thawed state , Anna informed the prince that he was the only one with a frozen heart . After giving Hans a moment to let the words sink in , Anna punched him in the face , causing him to fall into the waters of the fjord below . Overtaken by happiness , Elsa embraced her sister once more . With Arendelle restored to peace , Elsa returned to her duties as queen , terminating relations with Weselton , and Hans , the Duke of Weselton , and his thugs were expelled from the kingdom . Elsa also helped Anna bestow a new sled upon Kristoff and honored him with the title of " Arendelle Ice Master and Deliverer " . With summer ' s return to Arendelle , the rift between Elsa and Anna was finally healed . Later , Elsa had the gates opened and invited the whole village inside the courtyard , where she created an ice rink . When Anna commented that she liked the open gates , Elsa assured her that they were " never closing them again " . She then used her magic to create a pair of literal ice skates for Anna , who was entranced by their beauty . Then , despite Anna ' s insistence that she did not skate , Elsa playfully pulled her sister along , and with Olaf ' s help , she coached Anna . Christmas To celebrate the festive season , Elsa and her new family prepared a surprise holiday party to celebrate the first formal Christmas the kingdom had seen for thirteen years . Elsa came downstairs to the hall where the preparations had been made , and added frost to the garlands of evergreen wrapped around the banisters . She then explained to Olaf that the celebrations could not begin until the Yule bell had been rung at noon . She gifted Olaf a bow taken from a wreath , and along with Anna the trio made their way out into the courtyard to greet the citizens of Arendelle . Once the Yule bell was hoisted into position , Elsa , Anna and Olaf rang it , signalling the start of the festivities After this , however , Elsa was disappointed to see all the citizens returning home . Elsa and Anna tried to convince them to stay , but they all insisted on returning home to prepare their family traditions , leaving Elsa feeling slightly disappointed . Elsa tried to remember what traditions her family had Kristoff assured the sisters that they did not need a big party , and explained his own family tradition to them . Elsa ' s spirits were lifted by the gesture , but some elements of the tradition left her feeling slightly queasy ; she turned down Kristoff ' s offer of his traditional stew , explaining that she had already eaten a big breakfast . Elsa , Anna and Olaf returned to the dining hall , where Anna asked Elsa if she remembered any family traditions from their childhood ; all Elsa could remember was ringing the bell with her parents . Overcome with sadness , Elsa apologised to Anna and left the hall , closing the door behind her . Later that day , Elsa went to Anna ' s bedroom to apologise for her abrupt exit . She found Anna in the attic space above her bedroom , where Elsa was surprised by Anna springing out of a box where she was looking for family traditions . They looked inside Elsa ' s own trunk , which was mainly filled with satin gloves ; and her beloved childhood toy , Sir Jorgenbjorgen , who she remembered being a good listener . Inside Elsa ' s chest was also a box , containing what she thought to be the answer to their problem of having no traditions . When Sven returned from his travels with Olaf , Elsa was there to interpret his message that Olaf was in lost in the forest and needed help . Elsa , Anna and Kristoff set off to gather the citizens and search for Olaf . Eventually , Elsa and the search party made their way into the surrounding forest , where Elsa and Anna soon found Olaf under a pile of snow , upset to have failed in finding traditions for the pair . Elsa assured him that he had not failed , revealing that he was in fact their tradition , and showed him the box of presents Anna had made for Elsa as they grew up , all featuring Olaf . He had been the one that kept Elsa and Anna connected during their years apart , showing that they still loved each other . The pair hugged Olaf , and Elsa then made him a new Elsa and her family gathered around the Christmas tree . Elsa and the group began to make their way back through the forest , on the way stopping on a frozen lake . Here , Elsa conjured large tables from ice , where the castle staff and citizens laid down food for everyone . Elsa also created a large Christmas tree , and decorated it with lanterns . To finish the tree , she froze a figurine of Olaf inside a star made of ice , and transported Olaf to the top of the tree , where he placed the decoration . On his return , Elsa commented on how Arendelle now had a new family tradition , whereupon a fruitcake fell on Anna ' s birthday Elsa , , and prepared the courtyard for Anna ' s nineteenth birthday On Anna ' s nineteenth birthday , Elsa was determined to give her sister the best celebration possible to make up for the past birthdays that she had missed . Using her magic , Elsa crafted several figurines of herself and Anna atop an ice cream cake , ultimately settling on a design in which they were skating . Politely smiling at Kristoff and Sven ' s contribution , a large banner , Elsa went to wipe paint from the ice harvester ' s face , though her attention was directed at Olaf as he was helping himself to some cake . After stopping the snowman , Elsa told everyone not to touch anything while she went to wake Anna . After eagerly rousing her sister and giving her a new dress to wear , Elsa sneezed and produced two Snowgies , though the tiny snowmen scampered off before she noticed . Anna voiced her concern that Elsa was coming down with a cold ; however , Elsa replied that she did not get colds and proceeded to use her magic to spruce up both her and Anna ' s dresses . Wanting to get started with the celebration , Elsa told Anna to follow a red string that ran throughout the castle and would lead her to presents . For part of this journey , the two rode a bike around the castle halls and down a spiral staircase . The two sisters eventually made their way into the village , though Elsa continued sneezing , obliviously producing more Snowgies in the process . Though she tried to continue the birthday celebrations , conducting a choir to sing for Anna , Elsa ' s state continued to worsen ; she was even offered a cold remedy upon encountering Oaken . As the sun set , Elsa led her sister towards the clock tower , but Anna grew more concerned over Elsa ' s condition . Insisting that she was fine , Elsa climbed up to the top of the tower After a long day , Elsa decided to get some rest and allowed Anna to take care of her . On the way back , Elsa brooded over how she had ruined another birthday , though Anna assured her that this was not the case , instead insisting that Elsa get some rest . However , the two sisters were surprised when the gates opened to reveal the surprise party and the large number of Snowgies in attendance . Initially surprised , Elsa realized that the Snowgies were the result of her sneezes after producing a few more and witnessing them scamper off to join their counterparts in helping to present Anna ' s cake . Seeing that the celebration Personality Elsa masked her insecurities with a calm and composed demeanor . In stark contrast to her sister , Elsa is far calmer and more composed , and prior to accepting her powers , she manifested this demeanor in an extreme manner . Elsa thought out her words and actions with almost cold and calculating precision , taking great care to never reveal her emotions . To some , she appeared very detached and even unsociable , though in truth , she was still very much capable of acting playfully , as when she joked with Anna about the Duke of Weselton . Within her reserved exterior , Elsa concealed a great deal of guilt and was incredibly burdened by her magical abilities . Above all else , Elsa longed for the company of Anna but was haunted by the incident in which her sister nearly perished due to her powers . As such , Elsa tried her best to suppress her abilities ; to some degree , she recognized that her powers were tied to her emotions and chose to adopt a guarded and withdrawn demeanor to conceal them . Despite the way she shut people out , Elsa genuinely cared for Nonetheless , Elsa ' s choice to suppress her true self by acting like the perfect child her parents envisioned had a heavy toll on her . She feared hurting anyone greatly , even to the point where she refused her parents to be near her , concerned that her powers could lash out accidentally . And rather than confronting problems head on , Elsa turned away from unpleasant situations . Appreciating her powers for the first time , Elsa resolved to leave the past in the past . When she nearly hurt innocent people at her coronation party , Elsa reached her breaking point and felt she no longer had any place in Arendelle , deciding to flee the kingdom . Due to the fact she had always shut herself away from others , Elsa was not particularly struck by the loneliness of her self - imposed exile , but rather saw it as a chance for liberation . For the first time in her life , she openly embraced her abilities and appreciated herself for who she was ; at that point , Elsa chose to escape Determined to reside in peace , Elsa became far more liberal regarding the usage of her powers . When Anna refused to leave , Elsa turned to her abilities and created Marshmallow to physically expel her sister from the palace . And when the Duke of Weselton ' s thugs provoked her , after some initial hesitation , Elsa reacted with deadly force . However , the revelation that she had plunged Arendelle into winter caused Elsa to regard her powers with a sense of revulsion once more . Elsa ' s reversion to her old perceptions of herself was Elsa learned to value her gift and share it with everyone else . Ultimately , Anna ' s unconditional love was able to dispel Elsa ' s fear . When Anna sacrificed herself to save Elsa from Hans ' sword , she was able to reverse the effects of Elsa ' s curse and thawed out . Realizing that love was capable of thawing , Elsa suddenly understood how to control her powers and was able to restore summer to Arendelle . Though it took many years , Elsa was finally able to appreciate herself without compromising her relationships with those she cares about . In the months leading up to Anna ' Abilities Winter magic Elsa can magically produce and manipulate ice and snow . Elsa was born with the magical ability to produce and manipulate ice and snow . Despite struggling to control her powers and the low frequency of their use , Elsa is still capable of many feats . At the age of eight , Elsa was capable of freezing the entire floor of the Great Hall with just a touch of her foot . She also produced enough snow to make a snowy hill large enough for her and Anna to slide down . Pabbie noted that Elsa ' s power would only continue to grow , an observation that proved Elsa can use her powers to perform a wide variety of techniques , such as the rapid creation of ice structures like sheets , spikes , and walls . She can use her magic to propel herself across an icy surface . Elsa also displayed the ability to create snow creatures and imbue them with life , enabling them to move of their own accord . This ability can manifest itself consciously , as was the case with Olaf and Marshmallow , or involuntarily , as was the case with the Snowgies . Elsa ' s powers extend to the When her magic struck people , it had adverse effects ; though she did not intend to do so , Elsa struck Anna in the heart with her magic and started a process that would end with her sister becoming an ice statue . The resulting statue was made of such compact ice that it not only resisted a blow from Hans ' sword , but also shattered the blade into many pieces . The statue was also extremely cold , as it caused Hans ' blade to frost over prior to impact . Elsa also stated that she was not bothered by the cold , indicating her powers afford her resistance to frigid air ; she was seen rushing out into her own blizzard wearing a dress made of ice without exhibiting any signs of discomfort . And during Elsa ' s conversation with Hans in the dungeon , only the prince ' s breath was seen condensing , a further indication of Elsa ' s affinity to the cold . Due to her fearful state , Elsa transformed her pristine palace sanctuary into yet another prison . Perhaps the most notable aspect of Elsa ' s powers is their dependence on Elsa ' s emotional state : When Elsa is calm or feels love , she has complete control over her abilities and is capable of producing beautiful magic . But when Elsa is stressed or feels fear , her powers are unstable and can be dangerous to those around her . Despite their instability , Elsa ' s powers are especially potent when she feels fear ; with sheer instinct alone , Elsa was able to intercept an arrow speeding at her with a wall of Other skills Elsa built her entire palace around a snowflake base . Elsa demonstrated herself to be an incredibly fast learner ; despite facing two armed thugs and having no formal training , Elsa was able to defeat and nearly kill both men with her magic . And despite not using her magic for a long time , Elsa was able to gather enough confidence after producing a few blasts of snow to build an ice staircase and an entire ice palace . Elsa also was able to magically weave herself a new dress and cape . Even though she has magical powers , Elsa is physically formidable as well , having had enough endurance to run well into the night from Arendelle all the way to the North Mountain . Elsa also possesses a degree of artistic skill , as she was able to base an entire palace design on a snowflake . In fact , Elsa repeatedly showed herself using the same snowflake design ; it appeared not only on the palace floor , but also on the palace doors , ice chandelier , her clothes and hair accessories , and even on Anna ' s frozen form . In another showcase of her artistic skill , Elsa froze the water in the courtyard fountains into an intricate design and used ice to decorate the whole castle .

Elsa was originally written as a villain , akin to the Snow Queen of Hans Christian Andersen ' s fairy tale ; however , this direction for her character was ultimately scrapped because it proved too difficult to redeem her from a story perspective .

On Anna ' s birthday , the manner in which Elsa roused her sister was similar to how Anna woke her up as children . Despite being able to easily create ice , Elsa ultimately decided to only use her powers for emergencies that arose while serving the citizens of Arendelle .

Anna decided to go after her sister and called for her horse in order to do so . After Kai brought her horse and cloak over to her , Anna reassured Hans that she would be all right during her journey before setting off to find Elsa . The next morning , Anna and her horse had made their way through the forest while the princess called out for Elsa . However , the horse became startled by the howl of a wolf , and after a tree branch fell under the weight of heavy snow down in front of the pair , the horse bucked and galloped away in fear , leaving Anna alone in the wilderness . The horse made its way back to Arendelle , still frightened and panicked . Hans managed to calm it down , but the citizens began to worry about Anna ' s whereabouts . As Hans looked to the mountains , he decided to go in search of Anna . Trivia When Kjekk was young , he was a master escape artist . After the horse ' s twentieth escape , Anna learned how to make the tightest knot possible to keep him from running away .

http://fsi.colostate.edu/cucumbers/ | Cucumbers Last Updated : 10 months ago Agriculture Cucumber Fruit pickle Produce Contents Key Facts Introduction Foodborne Outbreaks Production Food Safety Consumption Nutrition References Key Facts The top three countries that imported cucumbers to the United States in 2013 were Mexico ( 1,144,458,000 Ibs ) Canada ( 215,028,000 lbs ) and Honduras ( 65,244,000 lbs ) In 2012 , top cucumber producing states , as reported by the United States Department of Agriculture , were Georgia and Florida with 283.5 and 280.8 million pounds , respectively There are three growing seasons in South Florida for field planted cucumbers ; the fall season is from September to October , the winter season is from November to December , and the spring season is from January to March In the United States from 1998 to 2013 , there were ten reported outbreaks associated with cucumbers , and 483 people fell ill . The pathogens implicated in these outbreaks were enteropathogenic E . coli , norovirus genogroup I and II , and Salmonella Saintpaul . Introduction The cucumber plant ( Cucumis sativus ) belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family , a part of the Cucumis genus . The Cucumis genus contains nearly 40 species , such as the cantaloupe ( C . melo ) , and watermelon ( Citrullus vulgaris The cucumber has many common names including pepino , cetriolo , gherkin , gurke , krastavac , concombre , hunggua , kiukaba , khira , kiukamupa , and kukamba . Cucumis sativus is a frost sensitive annual , coarse ( large , bold , and rough leaves ) and , creeping vine that can reach upwards of six feet in length . The spiraling hairy vine and tendrils that originate from the axil , allows the plant to readily climb supporting structures . Hairy three to five lobed leaves with a triangular shape that are 10 – 40 cm in size are each supported on a petiole and provide a canopy to cover the flowers and fruit . The overall root system is generally shallow ( usually penetrates top 30 cm of soil ) with lateral roots extending further than the vine ; however , a tap root can reach one meter deep . The cucumber plant produces three types of rough yellow flowers including a male or staminate flower , a female or pistillate flower , and a hermaphrodite flower with both male and female structures . The pistillate flower can be recognized from its ’ thin pedicles and it has a large ovary ( immature fruit ) at its ’ base . The ovary has three chambers and is connected to short , thick stigma lobes . The staminate flower grows in clusters and each flower is on a slender stem having three stamens . Hermaphroditic flowers are able to produce round Cucumber plants are naturally monoecious , meaning there are separate male and female flowers on the same plant . Gynoecious predominately produce female flowers ’ , however they will produce male flowers under conditions that include longer days , high temperatures and with light intense days . The seeds of both monoecious and gynoeccious maybe mixed for planting in the same area . Pollen is transferred by bees and other insects from the male to female flower . On commercial farms , gynoecious hybrids are more frequently used as they are more productive and develop earlier . The cucumbers ’ fruit has a hard , thick , firm outer rind , while being round , triangular - shaped , and is known as a false berry . The fruit goes through two stages , immature and mature . During its ’ immature stage chlorophyll in the cells located under the epidermis makes the rind green in color . In the mature stage , the rind changes into a yellow - white color and the epidermal layer may develop warty areas that form a trichome ( spiky hair ) . The fruit has three locules that contain soft The cucumber plant is native to India and has been cultivated for more than 3000 years . In the United States , the volume of cucumbers pickled is higher than any other vegetable ; with 550,000 metric tons being produced each year . The 2012 , United States Department of Agriculture data , showed the state of Georgia producing more cucumbers than any other state in the United States with producing 283.5 million pounds of cucumbers . Florida followed producing 280.8 million pounds of cucumbers . The most prominent area in Florida producing cucumbers is the west - central region including counties of Hillsborough , Manatee , and Hardee . Burpless cucumber . Photo Common Varieties Cucumbers are commonly grouped into three types : burpless , slicing , and pickling . Greenhouse cucumbers are also classified as a cucumber cultivar and can be included into this list . The information below will provide you with a brief guide on common cucumber types . Burpless This cucumber has a milder taste and contains less of the burp - causing compound called cucurbitacin . Burpless cucumbers are long and slender with tender skin and available year round . The Asian cucumber , a sub variety of the burpless type has a dark green color with semi - rough skin and is 10 to 14 inches long ; usually thin and straight . The taste is milder flavor than standard types . Asian cucumber . Photo Slicing The slicing or fresh market cucumber is usually 8 – 9 inches with blocky ends and small yellow ground spots on a thick dark green skin . The thick skin makes this type of cucumber have the benefit of being less prone to damages during harvest . Slicing cucumbers are considered semi - dwarf . The plant only requires 2 feet of space for growth and is resistant to powdery mildew , anthracnose , cucumber mosaic virus , downy mildew , scab , angular leaf spot . Both monoecious and gynoecious hybrids are available . Regular cucumbers are American cucumbers , belonging to the sub - variety of the slicing cucumber . They are usually 8 inches long with a slight bulge in the middle . After harvest , they are waxed to improve their moisture retention as well as the shelf life . The seeds are larger and more plentiful than other varieties . Photo Credit : Brialle Brewton , English cucumbers sold at Action in Beauvais , France . English cucumbers for sale in at an outdoor market in Beauvais , France . Photo : Brialle Brewton Pickling These cucumbers typically have a warty , thin , usually light green color skin with the fruit size ranging from 3 - 7 inches . Maturation can take up to 50 - 60 days . Commercial cultivars have black or white spines that form as the fruit matures . The white - spined cultivars compared to the black - spined cultivars are usually slower in development , but unlike the black - spined fruit they are able to retain their green color and firmness of their skin longer . The premature black - spined cultivars turn yellow at higher temperatures The skin of the Kirby cucumber is thin , bumpy , and color varies from light to dark green . This cucumber is a sub - variety in pickling cucumbers . Kirby cucumber . It is smaller in size growing 3 – 6 inches long , they often grow in an irregular shape . The flavor it produces is mild to sour . The Gherkin cucumber size is smaller than the other types , and has a long distinctive fruit stem . The color ranges from a light yellow to pale green and the fruit is covered in short fleshy spines . The taste of the West Indian Gherkin is sweet at first then turns sour . The Bush Pickle produces 4 inch fruits that are deep green in color with pale green stripes and a blocky figure having that distinguished “ pickle ” look . Maturation takes place in 55 days . Armenian cucumber . Armenian cucumbers are actually members of the melon family and known as the ‘ snake cucumber ’ , the Armenian cucumber fruit is 12 to 15 inches in length with thin pale green skin . Greenhouse cultivars The appearance of greenhouse cultivars are usually smooth - skinned with rounded ends , and are long and narrow . There are two types of greenhouse cultivars , English and Japanese . The Japanese cucumbers taste is never bitter , and flavors are melon - like . The English types have a high yield potential and are parthenocarpic ( fruit being produced without presence of an egg in the ovary ) with gynoecious expression , which are different from the Japanese types that are primarily monoecious . For more information regarding the production and distribution of Cucumbers please visit the Produce Point of Origin Database Foodborne Outbreaks From 1998 - 2013 in the United States , there have been a total of 10 cucumber associated outbreaks , during which 483 people became ill and eight were hospitalized . Cucumber salad , cucumber sandwiches and raw cucumbers are among the implicated food items . The setting where these outbreaks occurred included private homes , restaurants , conferences , and hotels . In 2013 , an outbreak of Salmonella Saintpaul was linked to imported cucumbers from Mexico . This outbreak caused 84 people to become ill with 17 hospitalizations . On April 24 , 2013 , importation of cucumbers was shut down by The U.S. Food and Drug Administration ; two trading firms were placed on import alert for cucumbers . These two firms had to prove the cucumbers they were importing into the United States were Salmonella - free to have the import alert lifted A 2015 outbreak of Salmonella serotype Poona was linked to and prompted a voluntary recall of cucumbers sold by the distributor Andrew & Williamson Fresh Produce . A second distributor , Custom Produce Sales , also issued a voluntary recall on cucumbers that had been sent by Andrew & Williamson Fresh Produce . The implicated cucumbers were produced by the firm Rancho Don Juanito in Baja California , Mexico and imported to the United States . An investigation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) observed issues with waste water management , equipment design of the pre - wash area , and storage of packing material at this firm . Domestically produced cucumbers were not believed to be involved in this outbreak . A total of 907 people across 40 states were infected with the outbreak strain with 204 hospitalizations and 6 deaths . Illnesses occurring after September 24 , 2015 , when recalled cucumbers should no longer have been available , appeared to have a common source by WGS with illnesses during the peak of the outbreak in August and early September . Investigators were unable to determine if these later illnesses were due to cross - contamination within distribution chains . To contribute to the Cucumber - associated Foodborne Outbreaks section , please follow this link http : / / fsi . colostate . edu / suggest - a - topic / Production Planting With greenhouse types of cucumbers , the growth period lasts from 55 - 60 days . The primary method for cucumber planting is direct seeding . The row ’ s width should be 3 - 4 feet , with a 4 - 8 inch distance between plants in the row and the depth of the seeds 1 - 1 ½ inches . Close proximity of plants will increase the yield , reduce weed growth , and keep the maturity rate uniform . Cucumbers are sensitive to growing conditions . Favorable growing conditions for a cucumber are similar to a semitropical plant in that humidity , high temperatures , intensity of light , and constant water and nutrient supply , are all necessary . Under these conditions with proper pest management , the plants have an opportunity to grow fast and produce heavy yield . Frequent pruning of the stems , laterals , and tendrils as well as vertical wire training is needed in order to uphold a canopy that allows the maximum amount of light and air to the plant and will Air temperature impacts vegetative growth , flower initiation , fruit development and quality . Optimum growing night temperatures range from 66.2 - 68 degrees Fahrenheit and optimum day temperatures range from 68 - 71.6 degrees Fahrenheit . Regulation of greenhouse conditions is important to maximize yield . A disadvantage with high relative humidity is that diseases can develop and there is an increased chance that water condensation could occur on the plants . With low relative humidity the conditions favor formation of powdery mildew and allow spider mites to reside . The irrigation system is a critical component because large amounts of water must be provided to the growing medium without flooding its roots and depriving them of oxygen . The trellis saves space and is used to increase air circulation , helping to decrease risk of disease ; it also serves as a way to protect the cucumber from developing damage due to moisture from lying on the ground . Cucumbers grown in Florida have a long harvest season when field grown . In North Florida , field grown cucumbers are planted from February to April and August to September . In Central Florida the planting season is from January to March and September for the fall season . For the Southern region of Florida planting can commence anytime from September to April . Greenhouse production in Florida is usually done September through June . Planting in greenhouses in summer months ’ are avoided due to high heat and humidity , which reduces the plant ’ s production . The type of soils used in growing cucumbers varies . Some acidic soils can be used but they need liming and fertilization done before the seeds are planted . Cucumbers grow best in slightly acidic soils with a pH range of 5.8 - 6.5 . The soil should be properly prepared before field planting begins . Common steps include soil fumigation , black plastic mulching , applying fertilizer during bed preparation , using foil or other reflective mulches for repelling aphids , and applying direct seeding throughout the mulch . Cucumber seedlings develop faster in higher temperatures , but cucumber growth is improved when soil temperatures are cooler . Nearly all greenhouse production of cucumbers in Florida use bag culture and perlite as the medium . Rockwell could also be used as a medium . Greenhouse cucumbers do best in soil with a pH range of 5.5 - 7.5 , but specifically for mineral soils the pH range must be from 6.0 - 6.5 . As for organic soils in greenhouse production , the optimum pH level must range from 5.0 - 5.5 . Different varieties of cucumbers are able to cross pollinate with each other . A pollen grain is needed for each seed within each cucumber . Without proper pollination the fruit could be aborted , disfigured , or be a poor fruit set ( transition of an ovary to a young fruit ) . Proper pollination hives should be brought to the field when 25 % of the plants in the field have flowered . A single flower needs to be visited by bees 10 - 20 times to be pollinated . If the bees are brought into the fields before When bringing hives to the fields the weather should not be cool , or wet as these conditions are unfavorable for bees , the weather causes the bees to be less active and the outcome is poor fruit sets . Soil and Amendments Cucumber plan after germination . Photo Credit : http : / / publicphoto . org / plants / young - cucumber - plant / Cucumbers are well grown in muck soil , but can be produced in sandy soils as well , which requires less cleaning before marketing . In cucumber production soil amendments are used for improvement of soil quality . Composted green waste or manure can be added to soils before planting begins and this helps to increase the holding capacity for water , and supply nutrients to the crop . Farmers must be careful where they purchase the manure from since traces of E . coli can be found , it is best to look into commercially composted manure . Soil mulches are commonly used to modify soil properties such as temperature , weed control , conserving water , protection fruit from insects , soil moisture There are nutrients that farmers choose to use during the process of producing cucumbers . The primary nutrients used are nitrogen , potassium , phosphate and the secondary nutrients are considered magnesium , calcium , and sulfur . For cucumbers that are grown on mulch that are polyethylene free , reductions of up to one half of the nitrogen and potassium fertilizer are applied at planting . Irrigation Many irrigation systems successfully produce good production results . Different irrigation systems are used and the type is based on technology , natural resources , cost and benefits . Drip , sprinkler , and surface are types of irrigations systems used with mulched production . Drip irrigation uses a variety of plastic pipes to carry a low flow of water under low pressure to plants . The low volume application of water to plant roots allows for a balance of air and water in the soil , providing plants with better growth . Sprinkler irrigation systems are different from the other systems because it applies water through the air versus directly in the soil . The water can be distributed through a pipe or sprinkler head and is sprayed into the air and falls on the ground similar to rainfall . Surface irrigation systems distribute water by gravity flow of water going over the soils ’ surface . As this occurs the soil stores the water and the system acts as a medium spreading and infiltrating the water . Some greenhouse cucumbers are irrigated using a closed irrigation technique or drain - to - waste irrigation . Common sources of water for irrigation are ground , surface , or potable waters . The water ’ s pH is important in an irrigation system , the recommended optimum pH of the nutrient ( nitric , sulfuric , and phosphoric acid ) solution that is applied to the plants through the irrigation system should range in between 5.5 - 6.0 . These conditions vary if the water has a high bicarbonate concentration , which prevents precipitation when fertilizer salts are added . The cucumber is sensitive during its growing process , being sensitive can affect its quality and yield such as salinity , perchlorate , chloride , and glyphosphate toxicity . Salinity can cause the plant growth to be stunted and cause leaves to have the appearance of the cucumber a dull , dark green color with a narrow band of yellow nercrotic tissue around the leaves that are prone to wilting . Studies have demonstrated that with the increase of salt in the water there is a decrease in cucumber yield . Chloride when added to water used in the irrigation system showed the reduction of plant vigor and produced a light green tissue band around the leaves margins , along with necrosis and edge scorching . These leaves are at risk for a reduction in photosynthesis activity and premature leaf abscission . Perchlorate is a strong acid and is available in mineral deposits of natural nitrates . Due to its strong chemical properties it decreases the Ribulose Diphosphate Carboxylase ( RuDP ) enzyme activity used for cultivation in greenhouse vegetables . The symptoms that follow exposure to high concentrations of perchlorate include female flowers beginning to open , leaves curled with partial necrosis causing a reduction in fruit sets which in turn reduced yields , and dysfunctional cucumbers Pests & Insecticides The spotted cucumber beetle , Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi Barber . Photo Credit : James Castner , Entomology and Nematology Department , University of Florida . Pesticides are used in the cucumber production process to help decrease the impact of insects on the plant . There is a range of insects that can attack cucumbers , but the major insects that are prominent in Florida are the pickleworm , melonworm , and silverleaf whitefly . In cucumber greenhouse production the major pest are the whiteflies . Other insects to impact production outside of greenhouse are arthropods as melon thrips , leafminers , banded cucumber beetle , flea beetles , mites , stink bugs , wireworms , grasshoppers , leafhoppers , squash bug , squash vine borer , and loopers . These pests may not cause serious damage of the cucumber but they are a serious concern for the grower due to the very low tolerance for insect damage in the crop . The cucumber beetle is comprised of six different species across the United States . Three of these beetles are found in Florida . The banded cucumber beetle is located in the southern part of Florida . The spotted cucumber beetle and striped beetle are found in North Florida . Pickleworm , Diaphania nitidalis , larva feeding inside a cucumber . Photo Credit : John L . Capinera , University of Florida . The cucumber beetles larvae begin damage by eating away at the plant from the roots to the stems . As an adult host they eat away at the stems that are below the plastic mulch , as well as the leaves , and the fruit . The crop is damaged quickly by feeding on the cotyledons first and then moving to foliage . Crop damage from these beetles often transmits Erwinia tracheiphila , the causal agent of bacterial wilt . The squash mosaic virus can also be transmitted and the increase of incidence of powdery mildew , black rot and fusarium wilt . Insecticides are typically used to combat bacterial wilt . As for the squash mosaic virus , which is transmitted by insects , once the plant is infected it must be removed so that it does not infect the other plants . There are preventative measures that can be taken to try to avoid the occurrence of the virus such as controlling the weeds . In 2000 , Florida growers applied insecticides totaling 15,500 pounds of active ingredient to 97 percent of the state ’ s fresh - market cucumber acreage . Annually between 94 - 97 percent of fresh market cucumber acreage has been treated with insecticides and the most commonly applied insecticides on Florida fresh - market cucumbers are Bacillus Thuringiensis , Methomyl ( Lannate ® ) , and Endosulfan a cyclodiene chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide . Disease Prevention There are a few techniques that are used to help lessen the chance of the cucumber encountering disease . For commercial growers , Utilizing certified disease - free seeds , keeping the garden and surrounding area free of weeds that harbor insects , which can spread viruses and bacterial wilt , and once harvesting is complete remove the plant debris that is left behind in the garden , this is because some diseases have the ability to survive on plant debris . An important measure in controlling disease is host resistance . The types of diseases that can affect cucumbers are gummy stem blight , which is a leaf disease caused by the fungus Didymella bryoniae , Anthracnose caused by the fungus Colletotrichum obiculare , Fusarium wilt caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum , Downy mildew ( favored in moist conditions ) causedby the fungus Pseudoperonospora cubensis Glyphosphate is a herbicide that even in small amounts being absorbed by the cucumber will cause damages such as turning the color of the leaves from light green to a yellow , stunt the growth , and cause upwards curling . Fungicides are most useful when they are applied prior to infection and must be reapplied once the infection occurs every 5 to 7 days . Some examples of the types of fungicides used are Previcur Flex , Gavel , Tanos , and Ranman . Harvesting , Packaging , and Storage The harvesting process can be done by hand or machine and is different depending on the cucumber . The following videos will show different harvesting techniques used in growing cucumbers . Greenhouse Cucumbers : How To Plant Cucumbers in Hydroponic Greenhouse Inside a Seedless Cucumber Greenhouse Harvesting Machines : Harrison Harvester ASA Lift Cucumbers should be picked when crisp , green , and tender ; large fruits should be removed from the vine so that new fruits are encouraged to grow . Slicing cucumbers are hand harvested at a range of 6 - 10 inches long and 1.5 - 2.5 inches in diameter . They usually are picked over a three - week time frame , 6 to 8 times . Pickling cucumbers are generally harvested 5 to 6 times , in 3 to 4 intervals to avoid oversizing . Gherkin cucumbers are harvested daily or every other day based on the weather and the stage of growth . Workers tending to cucumber plants . Photo Credit : Melisa F . Crane and Todd C . Wehner Fresh - market cucumbers and European types they are hand harvested and placed in plastic bins to be transported to the packing - house . Once the cucumbers have reached the packing house they are washed , sorted , and graded . Since the fresh market cucumbers are prone to extreme dryness , they are waxed prior to being packed again to help with reducing water loss and skin injury . As for greenhouse cucumbers , most are shrink - wrapped with polyethylene films . During storage cucumbers should not be stored with produce that generate ethylene . Common produce that produces ethylene are : apples and tomatoes . The ethylene causes the cucumber to become yellow rapidly from the loss of chlorophyll . For the best postharvest results including a long shelf - life , cucumbers should be stored at a temperature ranging from 44.6 - 50 degrees Fahrenheit and 85 - 95 % relative humidity in air , 46.4 - 53.6 degrees Fahrenheit in1 - 4 % oxygen and 50 - 54.5 degrees Fahrenheit in 0 % carbon dioxide . Cucumbers planted in a field . Photo Credit : Cucumber production ( slides ) , 1979 North Carolina State University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Cucumbers can go through a pickling process ; the fermentation of cucumbers can be performed in three general methods . One way is by ‘ salt shock ’ in which cucumbers are preserved in 5 - 8 % sodium chloride until the fermented sugars are converted to acids , increasing the salt concentration along the process . The second method is known as the ‘ genuine dill ’ , the cucumber is fermented in 45 % sodium chloride , flavor is added then the cucumber is sold as is . The ‘ overnight dill ’ is the third method performed For more information on cucumber production , please visit Produce Point of Origin Database Food Safety Cucumbers are often eaten raw ( with and without the skin ) , so consumers should thoroughly wash this vegetable under warm running water before eating , cutting , or cooking . Even if the consumer plans on peeling the cucumber before consumption , it is still important to wash first to avoid cross - contamination . A clean produce brush can also be used to scrub firm produce , such as cucumbers . Any damaged or bruised areas of this vegetable should be cut away and discarded . Pre - cut or pre - peeled produce ( i.e. those found in veggie platters ) should be refrigerated . As cucumbers are often eaten in salads and sandwiches , cross - contamination can occur during meal preparation . In multi - ingredient meals such as these , identification of the vehicle can be difficult . Cucumbers are frequently imported from other countries outside the United States and may therefore undergo handling at many different points before being purchased by the consumer , so washing this vegetable is very important to reduce the risk of foodborne illness . Contamination of cucumbers can occur in the produce field via contact with feces or contaminated water or by unsanitary conditions in packaging or distribution facilities . Consumption From 1995 - 2005 , there was a 15 % growth in the consumption of fresh cucumbers , an approximately 1 pound per capita increase . As of 2012 , Americans consumed an average of 6.5 pounds of fresh cucumbers per person . For pickled cucumber , Americans annually consume a more variable amount averaging 9 - 11 pounds per person . From the 2006 - 2007 FoodNet Atlas of Exposures , 46.9 % of the survey cohort reported eating cucumbers within the past 7 days . More information on storing cucumbers can be found on FoodKeeper App Nutrition Cucumbers are 90 - 95 percent water and have limited nutritional value compared to other vegetables because of this . In one serving of cucumbers there are about 45 calories along with the daily recommended intake ; 6 % of Vitamin A and Vitamin B6 , and 14 % Vitamin C . The cucumber can aid in alleviating irritation and sunburn similarly to the aloe plant by applying the sliced cucumbers to the affected area . The slices can also reduce puffiness under the eyes ( also known as “ bags ” under the eyes ) since it has anti - inflammatory properties and stimulates hair growth . Being rich in vitamin A , B1 , B6 , C , & D , Magnesium , Folate , Calcium , and Potassium , cucumbers contain a good source of silica that allows the connective tissue to be strengthened while promoting healthy joints . Cucumbers contain three lignans : lariciresinol , pinoresinol , and secoisolariciresinol , all of which have traits of reducing the risk of developing several cancers such as breast cancer , ovarian cancer , uterine cancer and prostate cancer .

A household worker is your employee if you can control not only what work is done , but how it is done . If the worker is your employee , it does not matter whether the work is full time or part time , or that you hired the worker through an agency or from a list provided by an agency or association . It also does not matter whether you pay the worker on an hourly , daily , or weekly basis , or by the job . On the other hand , if only the worker can control how the work is done , not your employee , but is self - employed . A self - employed worker usually provides his or her own tools and offers services to the general public in an independent business . If an agency provides the worker and controls what work is done and how it is done , the worker is not your employee . Example You pay Betty to baby sit your child and do light housework four days a week in your home . Betty follows your specific instructions about household and child care duties . You provide the household equipment and supplies that Betty needs to do her work . Betty is your household employee . Example You pay John to care for your lawn . John also offers lawn care services to other homeowners in your neighborhood . He provides his own tools and supplies , and he hires and pays any helpers he needs . Neither John nor his helpers are your household employees . CAN YOUR EMPLOYEE LEGALLY WORK IN THE UNITED STATES ? It is unlawful for you to knowingly hire or continue to employ an alien who can not legally work in the United States . When you hire a household employee to work for you on a regular basis , he or she must complete the employee part of the Immigration and Naturalization Service ( INS ) Form I - 9 , Employment Eligibility Verification . You must verify that the employee is either a U.S. citizen or an alien who can legally work and then complete the employer part of the form . Keep the completed form for your records . Two copies of Form I - 9 are contained in the INS Handbook for Employers . Call the INS at 1 - 800 - 755 - 0777 to order the handbook or additional copies of the form or to get more information . DO YOU NEED TO PAY EMPLOYMENT TAXES ? If you have a household employee , you may need to withhold and pay Social Security and Medicare taxes , or you may need to pay federal unemployment tax , or you may need to do both . To find out , read the table below . If you : Then you need to : Pay cash wages of $ 1,400 or more in 2005 to any one household employee . Do not count wages you pay to : Your spouse , Your child under age 21 , Your parent , or Any employee under age 18 during 2005 . Withhold and pay Social Security and Medicare taxes . The combined taxes are generally 15.3 % of cash wages . Your employee ' s share is 7.65 % . ( You can choose to pay the employee ' s share yourself and not withhold it . ) Your share is a matching 7.65 % . Pay total cash wages of $ 1,000 or more in any calendar quarter of 2004 or 2005 to household employees . Do not count wages you pay to : Your spouse , Your child under age 21 , or Your parent . Pay federal unemployment tax . The tax is usually 6.2 % of cash wages , less a credit for state unemployment tax . Credit is normally 5.4 % , so federal tax is normally .8 % Wages over $ 7 , 000 a year per employee are not taxed . Note : If neither of the two contingencies applies , you do not need to pay any federal unemployment taxes . But you may still need to pay state unemployment taxes . You do not need to withhold federal income tax from your household employee ' s wages . But if your employee asks you to withhold it , you can choose to do so . MORE : If you need to pay Social Security , Medicare , or federal unemployment tax or choose to withhold federal income tax , see the Household Employer ' s Checklist . TIP : If your household employee cares for your dependent who is under age 13 or your spouse or dependent who is not capable of self care , so that you can work , you may be able to take an income tax credit of up to 30 % of your expenses . If you can take the credit , you can include your share of the federal and state employment taxes you pay , as well as the employee ' s wages , in your qualifying expenses . SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE TAXES Both you and your household employee may owe Social Security and Medicare taxes . The taxes for each of you are 7.65 % ( 6.2 % for Social Security tax and 1.45 % for Medicare tax ) of the employee ' s Social Security and Medicare wages . You are responsible for payment of your employee ' s share of the taxes as well as your own . You can either withhold your employee ' s share from the employee ' s wages or pay it from your own funds . Social Security And Medicare Wages You figure Social Security and Medicare taxes on the Social Security and Medicare wages you pay . If you pay your household employee cash wages of $ 1,400 or more in 2005 , all cash wages you pay to that employee in 2005 ( regardless of when the wages were earned ) are Social Security and Medicare wages . If you pay the employee less than $ 1,400 in cash wages in 2005 , none of the wages you pay the employee are Social Security and Medicare wages , and neither you nor your employee will owe Social Security or Wages Not Counted Do not count wages you pay to any of the following individuals as Social Security and Medicare wages : Your spouse . Your child who is under age 21 . Your parent . Note : However , you should count wages to your parent if both of the following apply : ( a ) your child lives with you and is either under age 18 or has a physical or mental condition that requires the personal care of an adult for at least 4 continuous weeks in a calendar quarter , and ( b ) you are divorced and have not remarried , or you are a widow or widower , or you are married to and living with a person whose physical or mental condition prevents him or her from caring for your 4 . An employee who is under age 18 at any time during the year . : However , you should count these wages to an employee under 18 if providing household services is the employee ' s principal occupation . If the employee is a student , providing household services is not considered to be his or her principal occupation . Also , if your employee ' s Social Security and Medicare wages reach $ 90,000 in 2005 , do not count any wages you pay that employee during the rest of the year as Social Security wages to figure Social Security tax . ( But continue to count the employee ' s cash wages as Medicare wages to figure Medicare tax . ) You figure federal income tax withholding on both cash and non - cash wages ( based on their value ) . However , do not count as wages any of the following items : Meals provided at your home for your convenience . Lodging provided at your home for your convenience and as a condition of employment . Up to $ 105 a month in 2005 for bus or train tokens ( passes ) that you give your employee or , in some cases , for cash reimbursement you make for the amount your employee pays to commute to your home by public transit . Up to $ 200 a month in 2005 to reimburse your employee for the cost of parking at or near your home or at or near a location from which your employee commutes to your home . Withholding The Employee ' s Share You should withhold the employee ' s share of Social Security and Medicare taxes if you expect to pay your household employee Social Security and Medicare wages of $ 1,400 or more in 2005 . However , if you prefer to pay the employee ' s share yourself , see " Not Withholding the Employee ' s Share " in the next section . You may withhold the employee ' s share of the taxes even if you are not sure your employee ' s Social Security and Medicare wages will be $ 1,400 or more in 2005 . If you withhold the taxes but then actually pay the employee less than $ 1,400 in Social Security and Medicare wages for the year , you should repay the employee . You pay withheld taxes as part of your regular income tax obligation . You do n ' t deposit them periodically — subject to an exception for business owners . See " Payment Options for Business Employers " below . Withhold 7.65 % ( 6.2 % for Social Security tax and 1.45 % for Medicare tax ) from each payment of Social Security and Medicare wages . Instead of paying this amount to your employee , you will pay it to the IRS with a matching amount for your share of the taxes . If you make an error by withholding too little , you should withhold additional taxes from a later payment . If you withhold too much , you should repay the employee . You hire a household employee ( who is an unrelated individual over age 18 ) to care for your child and agree to pay cash wages of $ 100 every Friday . You expect to pay your employee $ 1,400 or more for the year . You should withhold $ 7.65 from each $ 100 wage payment and pay your employee the remaining $ 92.35 . The $ 7.65 is the sum of $ 6.20 ( $ 100 x 6.2 % ) for your employee ' s share of Social Security tax and $ 1.45 ( $ 100 x 1.45 Not Withholding The Employee ' s Share If you prefer to pay your employee ' s Social Security and Medicare taxes from your own funds , you do not have to withhold them from your employee ' s wages . The Social Security and Medicare taxes you pay to cover your employee ' s share must be included in the employee ' s wages for income tax purposes . However , they are not counted as Social Security and Medicare wages or as federal unemployment ( FUTA ) wages . You hire a household employee ( who is an unrelated individual over age 18 ) to care for your child and agree to pay cash wages of $ 100 every Friday . You expect to pay your employee $ 1,400 or more for the year . You decide to pay your employee ' s share of Social Security and Medicare taxes from your own funds . You pay your employee $ 100 every Friday without withholding any Social Security or Medicare taxes . For each wage payment you will pay $ 15.30 when you pay the taxes . This is FEDERAL UNEMPLOYMENT ( FUTA ) TAX The federal unemployment tax is part of the federal and state program under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act ( FUTA ) that pays unemployment compensation to workers who lose their jobs . Like most employers , you may owe both the federal unemployment tax ( the FUTA tax ) and a state unemployment tax . Or , you may owe only the FUTA tax or only the state unemployment tax . To find out whether you will owe state unemployment tax , contact your state ' s unemployment tax agency . See the list of state unemployment agencies at the The FUTA tax is 6.2 % of your employee ' s FUTA wages . But it is reduced to 0.8 % for 2005 if the FUTA wages you pay are not more than the wages that are subject to state unemployment tax , and you pay all the required contributions for 2005 to your state unemployment fund by April 15 , 2006 . WARNING : Do not withhold the FUTA tax from your employee ' s wages . You must pay it from your own funds . You figure the FUTA tax on the FUTA wages you pay . If you pay cash wages to household employees totaling $ 1,000 or more in any calendar quarter of 2005 , the first $ 7,000 of cash wages you pay to each household employee in 2005 and 2006 is FUTA wages . ( A calendar quarter is January through March , April through June , July through September , or October through December . ) If your employee ' s cash wages reach $ 7,000 during the year , do not figure the FUTA tax on any wages you If you pay less than $ 1,000 cash wages in each calendar quarter of 2005 , but you had a household employee in 2004 , the cash wages you pay in 2005 may still be FUTA wages . They are FUTA wages if the cash wages you paid to household employees in any calendar quarter of 2004 totaled $ 1,000 or more . Do not count wages you pay to any of the following individuals as FUTA wages : Your spouse . Your child who is under age 21 . You hire a household employee ( who is not related to you ) on January 1 , 2005 , and agree to pay cash wages of $ 200 every Friday . During January , February , and March you pay the employee cash wages of $ 2,600 . Because you pay cash wages of $ 1,000 or more in a calendar quarter of 2005 , the first $ 7,000 of cash wages you pay the employee ( or any other employee ) in 2005 or 2006 is FUTA wages . The FUTA wages you pay may also be subject to During 2005 , you pay your household employee cash wages of $ 10,400 . You pay all the required contributions for 2005 to your state unemployment fund by April 15 , 2006 . Your FUTA tax for 2005 is $ 56 ( $ 7,000 x 0.8 % ) . STATE UNEMPLOYMENT TAXES You should contact your state unemployment tax agency to find out whether you need to pay state unemployment tax for your household employee . For the address and phone number , see State Unemployment Tax Agencies You should also find out whether you need to pay or collect other state employment taxes or carry workers ' compensation insurance . : If you do not need to pay Social Security , Medicare , or federal unemployment tax and do not choose to withhold federal income tax , the rest of this publication does not apply to you . DO YOU NEED TO WITHHOLD FEDERAL INCOME TAX ? You are not required to withhold federal income tax from wages you pay a household employee . You should withhold federal income tax only if your household employee asks you to withhold it and you agree . The employee must give you a completed Form W - 4 , Employee ' s Withholding Allowance Certificate . If you agree to withhold federal income tax , you are responsible for paying it to the IRS . Wages You figure federal income tax withholding on both cash and non - cash wages you pay . Measure wages you pay in any form other than cash by the value of the non - cash item . Do not count as wages any of the following items : Meals provided at your home for your convenience . Lodging provided at your home for your convenience and as a condition of employment . Up to $ 105 a month in 2005 for bus or train tokens ( passes ) you give your employee , or for any cash reimbursement you make for the amount your employee pays to commute to your home by public transit . Up to $ 200 a month in 2005 for the value of parking you provide your employee at or near your home or at or near a location from which your employee commutes to your home . Paying Tax Without Withholding Any income tax you pay for your employee without withholding it from the employee ' s wages must be included in the employee ' s wages for federal income tax purposes . It is also counted as Social Security and Medicare wages and as federal unemployment ( FUTA ) wages . HOW DO YOU HANDLE THE EARNED INCOME CREDIT ? Certain workers can take the earned income credit ( EIC ) on their federal income tax return . This credit reduces their tax or allows them to receive a payment from the IRS if they do not owe tax . You may have to make advance payments of part of your household employee ' s EIC along with the employee ' s wages . You also may have to give your employee a notice about the EIC . Advance EIC Payments You must make advance EIC payments if your employee gives you a properly completed Form W - 5 , Earned income Credit Advance Payment Certificate . Any advance EIC payments you make reduce the amount of Social Security and Medicare taxes and withheld federal income tax you need to pay to the IRS . Notice About The EIC The employee ' s copy ( Copy B ) of the IRS 2005 Form W - 2 , Wage and Tax Statement has a statement about the EIC on the back . TIP : If you give your employee that copy by January 31 , 2006 ( as discussed under Form W - 2 ) , you do not have to give the employee any other notice about the EIC . Otherwise , you must give your household employee a notice about the EIC only if you agree to withhold federal income tax from the employee ' s wages but the income tax withholding tables show that no tax should be withheld . Even if not required , you are encouraged to give the employee a notice about the EIC if his or her 2005 wages are less than the amount shown in the instructions to 2005 Form W - 5 . If you do not give your employee Copy B of the IRS Form W - 2 , your notice about the EIC can be any of the following : A substitute Form W - 2 with the same EIC information on the back of the employee ' s copy that is on Copy C of the IRS Form W - 2 , Notice 797 , Possible Federal Tax Refund Due to the Earned Income Credit ( EIC ) , or Your own written statement with the same wording as Notice 797 . If you give your employee a substitute Form W - 2 on time which lacks the required EIC information , you must give notice about the 2005 EIC to the employee within one week of the date you gave him or her the substitute Form W - 2 . If Form W - 2 is required , but not given on time , you must give the employee notice about 2005 EIC by January 31 , 2006 . If Form W - 2 is not required , you must give your notice to the employee by February 7 , 2006 HOW DO YOU MAKE TAX PAYMENTS ?

http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/02/olympics-medal-count-russia-sochi-united-states-most | The 14 most fascinating facts about the final 2014 Winter Olympics medal count By : Chris Chase | February 23 , 2014 10 : 19 am Follow @ firechrischase ( USA TODAY Sports Images ) The competition ended Sunday at the 2014 Winter Olympics . Which nation ruled the medal count ? How did the United States fare ? Which athletes went home with the biggest haul ? And just how dominant was the Dutch speedskating team ? For The Win answers those questions , and many more , with the 14 most interesting facts about the final Winter Olympics medal count . 1 . Russia ruled Russia ( USA TODAY Sports Images ) No matter the metric , the host nation won a decisive medal - count victory . Russia won 13 gold medals in Sochi , two more than runner - up Norway . Overall , Russian athletes won 33 medals , five more than the United States ’ 28 . It ’ s the first time the host nation swept both medal counts since Norway did it at the 1952 Winter Games in Oslo . 2 . United States is king of the bronze USA TODAY Sports It did n ’ t look good for the United States . No medals in individual figure skating for the first time since 1936 . No medals in speedskating for the first time since 1984 . The four most identifiable Winter Olympians — Shaun White , Bode Miller , Lindsey Vonn , Shani Davis — won a total of one bronze medal . ( In Vonn ’ s defense , she was n ’ t competing in Sochi due to injury . ) The women ’ s hockey team blew a late 2 - 0 lead in the gold - 3 . Dutch ( speedskating ) masters The speedskating team from The Netherlands won 23 medals ( eight gold , seven silver , eight bronze ) . Among the remarkable aspects of that achievement : a . The Dutch speedskating team alone would have finished sixth on the overall medal count . b . While the Dutch won 23 medals on the oval , all other nations won 13 medals combined c . Since 1998 , no other country has won more golds in speedskating than the Dutch won in Sochi . ( The U.S. and Germany had seven each . ) d . They did this all with just 41 athletes in Sochi . Canada earned one more medal with 180 more athletes . e . The Netherlands only won one more medal in the Olympics . It came in short - track speedskating , of course . 4 . The rise and fall of Germany For the early days of the Winter Games , Germany led the gold - medal count , thanks to a dominating performance in luge . ( German lugers won all four golds in the luge events . ) But once luge ended , it was all downhill from there , as Germany ended up finishing sixth in both medal counts . That ’ s the worst performance for any post - Berlin Wall German team and the worst for a main German Olympic squad in 46 years . 5 . The Dutch did the most with the least The Dutch team at the Opening Ceremony . ( AP ) We ’ ve listed the medal count by golds , total medals and per - capita rates . So how about medals per athlete in Sochi ? Winning 10 medals with 100 athletes is more impressive than winning 12 medals with 200 athletes , right ? It ’ s no surprise the Netherlands leads this total , with 24 medals from 41 athletes equaling one medal for every 1.7 competitors . Belarus was second ( six medals for 24 competitors ; 1 for 4 ) , followed by Norway ( every 5.15 athletes ) , France ( 7 ) and Russia ( 7.03 ) . The worst medal - per - athlete rate was Slovakia , which won a single medal for its 62 athletes . Croatia was the smallest delegation to medal , winning one with just 11 athletes . The biggest delegations not to 6 . Belarus comes out of nowhere Belarus won more medals in the 15k biathlon than from 2002 - 06 . ( USA TODAY Sports Images ) In its only five Olympics prior to Sochi , the former Soviet Republic earned a total of one gold medal and never finished better than 15th in the medal count . In Sochi , Belarusian athletes won five golds and finished eighth in the medal count . Just by herself , biathlete Darya Domracheva ( three gold medals ) did better in Sochi than her entire nation had done at the five previous Winter Olympics . 7 . Come on , Spain , Chinese Tapei and The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia , pull your weight . Through 44 events , 26 nations won medals at the Winter Olympics , which tied the record set at both the 2006 and 2010 Winter Games . After 98 events , 26 nations won medals at the Winter Olympics . The record remained . ( Stat via @ nzaccardi ) . 8 . The no - medal gold medalists Iceland did n ’ t medal in Sochi . ICE - land did n ’ t medal at the Winter Olympics . That ’ s like , I do n ’ t know , the sun getting shut out at the Summer Olympics . But this is n ’ t as unexpected as you ’ d think . Though it ’ s baffling on all levels , Iceland has actually never medaled at any Winter Games . The tiny nation sent just five athletes to Sochi and none finished better than 34th in their respective events . While it ’ s no surprise countries like Brazil , Lebanon and Togo did n ’ t get medals in Sochi , the lack of success of a few nations might raise an eyebrow . Belgium , for instance , has won just one medal since 1952 and Denmark only has one medal ever 9 . Mikaela Shiffrin pulled a Michael Phelps As noted by Alan Abrahamson , skiing ’ s up - and - coming star finished fifth in her first Olympic race . In her second , she won gold . Phelps pulled the same feat in the Summer Games ( over his first two appearances ) . 10 . Speaking of Phelps … Two years after the swimming star became the most decorated Summer Olympian in history , Norwegian biathlete Ole Einar Bjoerndalen became the most decorated Winter Olympian in history , winning his 13th carer medal in Sochi . That moved him past his countryman and fellow Bjoern , Bjoern Daehlie . Not to be outdone , another Norwegian cross - country skier , Marit Bjoergen , became the most decorated female Winter Olympian ever . She won her sixth career gold in Sochi . 11 . Russian transplants named Vic pay off Viktor Ahn , a South Korean speedskater who defected to Russia after the Vancouver Games , won three gold medals and a bronze in short track speedskating , making him the most decorated athlete in Sochi . Another foreign - born Russian athlete , American Vic Wild , won two golds in snowboard . Together , the Vic transplants would have finished a combined eighth on the overall medal count . The other three - time gold medalists in Sochi : Bjoergen and Domracheva . 12 . Who went home with the most hardware ? ( Getty Images ) Which athlete won the most medals in Sochi ? Would a Dutch speedskater suprise you ? Ireen Wust took home five medals from Russia , winning two golds and three silvers . That was the biggest haul for any athlete and more than all but 19 nations . Norwegian biathlete Tora Berger and Suk Hee Shim , a Korean short - track skater , had the Olympic rainbow award , winning gold , silver and bronze at these Winter Games . The hard - luck athlete in Sochi was Russian cross - country skier Maxim Vylegzhanin . He won three silvers , the final two coming in races that totaled 2 hours , 13 minutes . In those , he was a combined 1.68 seconds away from gold . 13 . Americans did n ’ t double - up Only two Americans won multiple medals in Sochi . Meryl Davis and Charlie White won bronze in the team figure skating competition and a historic gold in the ice dancing . The one gold and one bronze tied them for 39th on the individual medal count . 14 . Who ruled each sport ? Which nations won the medal counts for the 15 sports at the 2014 Winter Olympics ? It was largely spread out , with nine different countries being atop the 15 different sports . Alpine skiing — Austria ( 3 gold / 4 silver / 2 bronze ) Biathlon — Norway ( 3 / 1 / 2 ) Bobsled — Russia ( 2 / 0 / 0 ) Cross - country — Norway ( 5 / 2 / 4 ) Curling — Canada ( 2 / 0 / 0 ) Figure skating — Russia ( 3 / 1 / 1 ) Freestyle skiing — Canada ( 4 / 4 / 1 ) Ice hockey — Canada ( 2 / 0 / 0 ) Luge — Germany ( 4 / 1 / 0 ) Nordic Combined — Norway ( 2 / 1 / 1 ) Short track — Russia ( 3 / 1 / 1 ) Skeleton — Russia ( 1 / 0 / 1 ) Ski jumping — Germany and Poland ( 2 / 0 / 0 ) Snowboarding — United States ( 3 / 0 / 2 ) Speedskating — Netherlands ( 8 / 7 / 8 ) Chris Chase Follow @ firechrischase Chris Chase is a writer for the USA TODAY Sports Media Group .

http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/05/mint-julep-kentucky-derby | What ' s so special about a $ 2,000 mint julep at the Kentucky Derby ? 18k shares share tweet email By : Gary Mihoces | May 2 , 2014 3 : 09 pm Jamie Rhodes - USA TODAY Sports LOUISVILLE , Ky . – Beth Sweeney , TV co - anchor with WFIE of Evansville , Ind . , will end her streak this year of sipping at least one mint julep at every Kentucky Derby she attends . She ’ ll abstain because she is expecting a child . “ I ’ m a born and bred Kentuckian , so I grew up going to the Derby every year . And , of course , when I was of age , that ’ s the first thing that I ordered when I came to Churchill Downs , ” Sweeney said Friday morning from beneath a wide - brimmed , pink Derby hat . “ I ’ ve had one every year for as many years as I can count . … I ’ m due June 8 , so I ’ m counting down the days until I can enjoy something else like a mint julep . ” The drink – made basically with crushed ice , sugar , mint leaves and bourbon whiskey ( or other spirits ) – is part of the Derby scene , just like big hats , betting and the playing of “ My Old Kentucky Home . ” They are served at Derby parties across the country . Churchill Downs estimates it sells about 120,000 of them each year for Friday ’ s Kentucky Oaks for fillies and Saturday ’ s Derby . At the track , they go for $ 11 with a souvenir glass on Friday - Saturday ( up from $ 10 earlier in the week ) . For the ninth year , Woodford Reserve , official bourbon of the Derby , has mint juleps at steeper prices . It is offering 79 of them at $ 1,000 each and another ten at $ 2,000 each . The engraved cups this year have a gold - plated medallion of a horse and a garland of roses . Woodford says proceeds benefit the Old Friends Thoroughbred Retirement Center for former race horses and that more than $ 354,000 has been raised with the program . Credit : Gary Mihoces Chris Morris , master distiller for Woodford Reserve and historian of American spirits , says racing and whiskey making both got their Kentucky starts in the early 1770s . “ We believe the first two things our ancestors brought with them to Kentucky were horses and stills . That was part of that Scotch - Irish - English culture that came to Kentucky , ” says Morris . “ … It was just a horse / whiskey culture . ” So how did the mint and sugar get in the mix ? Morris says that goes back to Colonial drinks originally were called “ smashers ’ ’ or “ bracers . ” They were viewed as medicinal . “ In Virginia , they were made with rum and brandy . So our Virginia ancestors came into Kentucky , and of course there was no brandy here . There was no rum here , ” says Morris . “ They were too far from the sugar cane fields of the Caribbean , and they did not have fruit orchards . But they had corn , and of that led to the development of bourbon … and that led to the mint julep as we know it today . ” The mint julep is not for everybody . With the sugar boiled with water to make a syrup , it ’ s too sweet for some and a waste of good bourbon . For others , it ’ s refreshing . Here ’ s a sampling of track opinions this week : Jason Nuxol , 21 , of Louisville , wore a t - shirt with “ Kentucky Bourbon Trail … Commonwealth of Bourbon ” across the front . “ I just like my bourbon straight with ice , maybe a little water , ” he said . But he said his mom , Lynn , is a julep fan . “ That ’ s her drink , ” he said . Anita Atkinson , between sips on a julep : “ I do n ’ t like bourbon , but I like a mint julep . And I ’ m from the ‘ Bourbon Capital of the World , ’ Bardstown , Ky . ’ ’ Bardstown hosts the Kentucky Bourbon Festival . Eric Thomas , 42 , of Sellersburg , Ind . , with two big mint sprigs in his glass : “ I like them . … It ’ s sweet , it ’ s refreshing and just a break from beer . ” For its $ 1,000 / $ 2,000 juleps , Woodford Reserve ’ s theme this year is the 89th anniversary of the Derby ’ s identification as the “ Run for the Roses . ” That ’ s why it has 89 cups for sale . Beyond the fancy cups and the boxes made of the same American Oak used in its aging barrels , Woodford has added some extras “ We have candied rose petals , actual rose petals that we ’ ve soaked in sugar water , ” says Morris , the master distiller . “ So we ’ re going to put some rose petals in the cup , a little bit of mint , muddle that together . The ice we ’ re using has been made from rose water . … It has the mint , but now it has the rose hint to it . ” Tim Laird is with the Brown - Forman Corp . , producer and marketer of brands such as Woodford Reserve , Jack Daniel ’ s Tennessee Whiskey and Southern Comfort . His title is “ America ’ s CEO . ’ ’ That ’ s “ Chief Entertaining Officer . ” Laird ’ s bottom line on the mint julep : “ It ’ s part of the fabric of the South here . ” 18k shares share tweet email From The Web More FTW Contact For The Win Privacy Notice / Your California Privacy Rights Terms of Service Ad Choices Powered by WordPress . com VIP Show More Information | [

http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/08/5-things-you-need-to-know-about-the-dallas-cowboys-cheerleaders-reality-tv-show | 5 things you need to know about the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders reality TV show By : Laken Litman | August 8 , 2014 9 : 07 am Follow @ LakenLitman ( Tim Heitman , USA TODAY Sports ) The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are the only squad in the NFL with their own successful reality TV show . In case you have n ’ t seen it , Season 9 of “ Making the Team ” premiers Friday on CMT at 9 p.m. ET and it ’ s incredibly entertaining . For The Win went behind the scenes with DCC earlier this summer to learn more about what it takes to become a cheerleader and it ’ s a grueling process . Here are five things you need to know before watching the show : 1 . Everyone tries out There are between 36 - 39 spots on the team , but on the first day of tryouts in May , more than 500 women from all over the world — New York , Miami , Australia , Japan — came to AT&T Stadium in hopes of becoming a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader . There were recent college graduates , triathletes , Laker Girls , and dental hygienists . One girl said she races off - road monster trucks for fun . Another had recently returned from serving eight years in the military . The ages ranged from 18 - 40 . ( Tim Heitman , USA TODAY Sports ) 2 . Jerry Jones ’ daughter is the president Some NFL cheerleading squads are n ’ t as important to their organizations , but in Dallas it is . Jones ’ daughter Charlotte Anderson has been in charge ever since her family bought the team in 1989 . 3 . Being a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader is n ’ t considered a full - time job … but it should be Most cheerleaders have full - time jobs in addition to their cheerleading responsibilities . They do n ’ t do this for a paycheck . “ I was leaving work every day and going straight to practice and not getting home until 11 or 12 at night , ” said Sunni West , who was a cheerleader from 2008 - 11 . “ There was no downtime . No quiet time for me . “ Being a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader is a full - time job . Whether it ’ s rehearsals , calendar shoots , guest appearances , or whatever it is , it is a full - time job . When I was not working or I was not at practice , then I was 90 % doing something that was Cowboys related . ” 4 . The cheerleaders have to tryout every year Even the veterans . And sometimes the veterans get cut . 5 . To make the team , you have to take a test During the tryout process , team director Kelli McGonagill Finglass and choreographer Judy Trammell , who were both cheerleaders in the 1980s and have been in charge since the ’ 90s , conduct background checks , investigate social media backgrounds , teach interviewing skills and give etiquette training . They also give a written test with 80 questions covering the history of the Dallas Cowboys , the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders , current events and nutrition .

http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/01/tom-brady-super-bowl-bill-belichick-xlix-legacy-record | Tom Brady ' s legacy is on the line in Super Bowl XLIX He and Bill Belichick are surefire Hall of Famers , but a fourth Super Bowl puts them on another level . By : Chris Chase | January 18 , 2015 10 : 23 pm Follow @ firechrischase ( USA TODAY Sports Images ) Two weeks from now , Tom Brady and Bill Belichick will play in a Super Bowl that will drastically affect their places in NFL history . A win would give Brady four Super Bowl wins , putting him alongside legends Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montana . The victory would give Bill Belichick his fourth too , breaking a tie with Joe Gibbs and Bill Walsh and tying him for the all - time lead with Chuck Noll . Chuck Noll and Terry Bradshaw in 1975 . ( AP Photo ) But this has been the scenario for a full decade . On Feb . 6 , 2005 , the Patriots capped their third Super Bowl title in four seasons . Tom Brady was 27 years old , the team had no major challengers in the AFC , other than Peyton Manning ’ s defense - challenged Colts , and no one seemed to have a read on what Bill Belichick was doing on defense . This was a team primed to win Super Bowls well into the 2010s . It ’ s unfathomable to think New England has n ’ ot that easy in the NFL Win or lose , no one will ever criticize the Bradychick era . ( They will have won three titles and once had a 16 - 0 season for Pete ’ s sake ! ) The AFC championship game win means the Pats have made the Super Bowl in six of the past 14 years , an unprecedented dynastic run that ’ s the longest in the history of the sport . ( Vince Lombardi only coached the Packers for eight years . The 1970s Steelers won four in six years . Bill Walsh took home his three titles over ( USA TODAY Sports Images ) But it ’ ll be fascinating to see how history regards these Patriots should Seattle win on Feb . 1 . Lose and the Pats will have dropped three straight Super Bowls , gone more than a decade without a title and moved to an impressive , but more pedestrian , 3 - 3 in the title game . They ’ ll have failed to capitalize on that perfect season in 2007 , losing to a team whose coach was unsure whether he ’ d be fired entering that season . In Super Bowl XLVI , New England lost to a mediocre 9 - 7 Giants team that got swept in the regular season by the 5 - 11 Washington Redskins . A loss to Seattle wo n ’ t be as bad as the defeats to the Giants ( New England opened Super Bowl XLIX as underdogs ) but a loss is still a loss . Tom Brady and Bill Belichick are Hall of Fame legends no matters what happens on Feb . 1 . But will they be remembered as the unstoppable dynasty from the start of the century or the superb team that could n ’ t fully capitalize on years of football dominance ?

http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/06/ex-nfl-running-back-lawrence-phillips-sends-terrifying-letters-from-jail-this-place-is-a-jungle | The terrifying prison letters from ex - Nebraska star Lawrence Phillips 182k shares share tweet email By : Josh Peter | June 2 , 2015 7 : 51 am Update ( 1 / 13 / 2016 ) : Lawrence Phillips was found dead on Wednesday , a California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation spokeswoman confirmed to USA TODAY Sports . The handwritten letters have arrived with the same return address : Lawrence Phillips G - 31982 , Kern Valley State Prison , P.O. Box 5101 , Delano , CA 93216 . Yes , that Lawrence Phillips . The star running back on University of Nebraska ’ s national championship teams in 1994 and 1995 . A first - round pick , sixth overall , in the 1996 NFL draft . A convicted felon — sentenced to 31 years for driving his car into three teenagers and assaulting an ex - girlfriend — under suspicion for the recent death of his cellmate in a maximum - security prison 140 miles north of Los Angeles . Authorities have said little about the investigation since finding the body of Damien Soward , a former gang member serving 82 years to life for first - degree murder , unresponsive in his cell on April 11 . That same day , a second inmate was named as a suspect in the death of his cellmate in the prison designed to hold fewer than 2,500 inmates but that currently houses more than 3,700 inmates , a prison spokesman said . Phillips , 40 , appealing his sentence , has made no public comment outside of the courtroom in more than a decade . But USA TODAY Sports obtained copies of letters he has written over the past 18 months that offer insight into his state of mind and situation . He wrote several of the letters to Tony Zane , who coached Phillips at Baldwin Park High School in Southern California . Phillips transferred to the school before his junior year , and Zane recalled starting him at wide receiver , rather than running back , in the season opener . “ Shows you what I know , ” Zane said with a chuckle . Zane moved Phillips to running back that next game , and Phillips helped transform Baldwin Park into a powerhouse as the coach and player developed a strong and lasting relationship . Zane said he has regularly sent Phillips care packages that have included everything from a TV to gym shorts to snacks . Here are Phillips ’ letters to Zane and other coaches . ( They have been edited for length and clarity . ) JAN . 14 , 2014 Dear Coach Zane , How are you doing ? I ’ m doing well . As you might have noticed on the envelope , I have been moved from the cell I was in . I spent some days in the hole for refusing to room with a gang member . They have now took my privileges , which include yard ( exercise ) , canteen , vendor packages , and all personal property for 180 days . I will of course appeal this decision as I was refusing to room with gang members after already having had incidents with gang members . At any rate , I just wanted to write to you and let you know in case that the package I requested was returned . I have not received any mail since moving , so I do not know if you sent the package . They are supposed to re - route mail , but they usually do n ’ t check and make sure they guy in the cell is the correct guy to receive the mail . At any rate , I will appeal the situation and I should get relief due to my several incidents involving gang We are on lock down at this time due to a murder and the stabbing of five other dudes . I hope you and your family are well and had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year . Several letters have been written to Ty Pagone , a retired vice principal and former football coach at Baldwin Park High . Phillips was living at a boys home when he transferred to Baldwin Park and Pagone helped Phillips get on track academically so Phillips would be eligible to accept college scholarships . Phillips and Pagone , a close friend of Zane , also developed a close relationship . MAY 29 , 2014 Dear Coach Pagone , We are still today on lock down due to some stabbings and assaults between black and white inmates . It has been ongoing for sometime . I am glad to hear Marie ’ s wedding was great . Usually an open bar leads to a lot of dancing . I do not have a cell mate . All of these dudes want to use drugs and ( illegible ) weapons in the cell . I ’ m in the process of applying for single - cell status . I will let you know how that goes . A letter written by Lawrence Phillips JUNE 15 , 2014 Dear Coach Pagone , I received your letter and package a day apart . We do get the packages in lock down as the companies do not really want the items back . We have been in lock down about 80 % of the time . You would be surprised at what these altercations are about ! Nonsense ! But when your world is this small all one has to care about is nonsense . That is why I do not want any of these idiots in the cell with me . All they they want to do is the drugs , make knives and make alcohol . Then they say when they get out they will not come back . I tell them of course you will . You are doing the same thing that got you locked up . Of course they do not want to hear that . It is like speaking to a brick wall . Now I understand how people must have felt talking to me . So needless to say I have zero friends inside here . Not one person is in line with my way of thinking . Well that ’ s all from here , Pagone . I will stay out of trouble . I might have to endure some write - ups for refusing a cell mate though . Better that than them getting me into serious trouble . ( AP Photo / James A . Finley ) JULY 6 , 2014 Dear Coach Zane , I hear you were in Hawaii . I am sure you had a good time . Remember when we went out there and kicked their butt in the all - star game and they tried to hold up our bus and all that crap ? Good times . Well there is not much happening here . We are still on lock down because they found a hacksaw in someone ’ s cell . Apparently people use the saw to cut up the bunks and make knives . It is completely nuts in here . It is pretty much a free for all . SEPT . 14 , 2014 Dear Coach D , Huskers kicked butt out there . I only listened to the radio . The game was not televised here . ( Nebraska running back Ameer Abdullah ) has a real chance at the Heisman and the Huskers could win the Big 10 , although the Big 10 is a bit watered down with the injury to O - State Q.B. ( Braxton Miller ) . NFL is going through some stuff . Unfair to blame the NFL for what guys do . … These misdeeds by the players ( are ) being used by the liberal parties and the media to further their particular interests . Next they will be forcing out owners like they did with the Los Angeles Clippers owner ( Donald Sterling ) . Well , there is nothing new happening here . We are still locked down . One of the guards was assaulted so it may be awhile . Coach D , this place is a jungle . Trouble everywhere . One must swallow his pride constantly or one will always be in the hole . But we must deal with the situation we put ourselves in . APRIL 9 , 2015 I was able to get the necessary paper to prove that the court had made a mistake in closing my case in appeal . I was not informed of the ruling by the court and could not have responded in time . When I refer to prison lawyers , I am referring to guys who have been incarcerated for 20 - 30 years and have been in the courts for most of those years . They pretty much have a top notch legal education . Once you have been out of the hole for a certain amount of time you are cleared for a lower security prison . I have been cleared but I have not been moved . There are many people in this same boat . They say it is due to the overcrowding . On the Level IV yards , which is the highest level , not many people go home . Most have life or 30 - 40 - 50 years and in some cases 350 years . So not much new space opens . Hopefully my time will come soon . Three days after sending this letter to Pagone , the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation , announced Phillips was a suspect in the death of his cellmate . MAY 3 , 2015 Dear Coach D , How are you doing coach ? I am doing well . As far as the package , due to my current situation I may not be allowed it . So if you have not already sent the package do not send it . I can not speak of the situation here but I am alright . Please let anyone know who asks you that . I hear Husker spring practices are a little more spirited . That is a plus . I do not think teams will ever practice how we practiced . … If a team ever comes back to that mentality , they will crush the college ranks . Alright Coach D , that ’ s all from here . 182k shares share tweet email From The Web More NFL | [

http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/06/roger-federer-stats-best-tennis-player-ever-goat-wimbledon-us-open-stats | 35 facts that prove Roger Federer is the greatest tennis player ever By : Chris Chase | June 25 , 2015 3 : 06 pm Follow @ firechrischase 1 . Federer is only the first man in the last 45 years to appear in four Grand Slam finals in the same year . And he ’ s done it a staggering three times , winning three of the four titles in 2006 and 2007 and going 2 - 2 in 2009 . The 2006 and 2007 losses were at the French to Rafael Nadal while , ironically , Federer won the French in 2009 but lost the Australian and U.S. Opens . Rod Laver , who won all four slams in 1969 , is the only other player to accomplish the feat in the Open Era , which began in 1968 . ( The rest of the post refers to the Open era 2 . Federer has won 90 more Grand Slam matches ( 285 ) than the next active player , Rafael Nadal ( 195 ) . He ’ s also has 52 more wins than the No . 2 player on the all - time list , Jimmy Connors . ( Getty Images ) 3 . Federer has won 25 % of the tournaments he ’ s entered during his career . That ’ s 86 titles in 334 tourneys , which is amazing given that his rate has obviously dropped since his prime ended five years ago . To put that still - impressive 25 % in perspective , from 2004 - 2006 Federer won 69.4 % of tourneys played ( the record for a three - season stretch ) . 4 . He ’ s the all - time title leader at two different Slams ( Wimbledon , tied with Pete Sampras , and the U.S. Open , tied with Jimmy Connors and Sampras ) . ( Getty Images ) 5 . Just three times in history has a man won 40 or more consecutive matches at a single Grand Slam tournament . Federer has done it two of those times and at different tournaments , no less . Bjorn Borg once won 41 straight at Wimbledon , making him the all - time leader . Federer has streaks of 40 at both Wimbledon and the U.S. Open , with his streaks getting broken by Nadal ( ’ 08 ) at Wimbledon and Juan Martin Del Potro ( ’ 09 ) at the U.S. Open . Speaking of Nadal , it seems bizarre that his French Open dominance did n ’ t crack this list , no ? Well , he ’ s right behind with 39 , which was halted earlier this month by Djokovic . ( Why 6 . Fed is No . 1 in most consecutive Grand Slam finals played with 10 . He ’ s also in second , with eight . 7 . For as dominant as Rafael Nadal was at the French Open , this stat stuns : Rafa ’ s longest streak of Roland Garros finals ( five ) ca n ’ t touch The Fed ’ s seven consecutive Wimbledon finals . Rightly , it ’ s all about Rafa , Rafa , Rafa , when it comes to Grand Slam dominance . That ’ s the result of being 71 - 2 at the French Open . But because of that hiccup to Robin Soderling in 2009 and the unfair quarterfinal loss to Djokovic in 2015 , Nadal ’ s streaks ca n ’ t match Federer ’ s on grass . Weirdly , Federer also has made four straight French Open finals , which ties him with Nadal for second most in that event ( behind Nadal , of course ) . But neither of them are the all - time leader . Ivan Lendl made eight consecutive U.S. Open finals . The Czech turned American was only 3 - 5 in those finals , however . 8 . Federer ’ s ranks in terms of all - time match wins at the four majors ( in order of major , e.g. Aussie , French , Wimbledon , U.S. ) : 1 , 2 , 2 , 4 ( and he ’ ll be No . 3 in Flushing with two wins there in August ) . ( USA TODAY Sports Images ) 9 . The Fed holds the record for most consecutive semifinals at a Grand Slam ( 23 ) and most consecutive quarterfinals at a Grand Slam ( 36 ) . The semifinal record has the makings of an unbreakable one . Novak Djokovic is second with 15 and has a current streak of five . The quarterfinals would seem unbreakable except that Djokovic is only 12 Slams ( or three years ) behind . But , they do n ’ t call them upsets for nothing and Djokovic will be in his 30s at that point . 10 . Lest you think Nadal knocked him completely off his grass game in the ’ 08 Wimbledon finals , Federer is 56 - 7 on the green since . ( AP ) 11 . Federer once had a streak of 105 points without an unforced error . Granted , it came against big - serving and no - returning John Isner , but still . One hundred and five . Sick . 12 . The most tournaments he won in a single year : 12 in 2006 ( tied for most ever with Thomas Muster , of all people ) . The least amount of wins in a season : 1 in 2013 . 13 . The Fed is the only tennis player in history to be perfect on blue clay . This is stupid , but if stupidity was a prerequisite to — I do n ’ t know how I was going to end that sentence . Anyway , the 2012 Madrid Open was played with blue clay as part of a promotional push by Ion Ţiriac , the Count Dracula of tennis . The players hated it , Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic seemed to tank matches just so they could complain about it later . Federer , on the other hand , would play on the white sand of St . Barth ’ s and not mind . Anyway , Federer won Madrid that year , smurf courts and all , and now that the courts have been banned , truly has an unbreakable record . 14 . With his win in Brisbane this January , Federer broke a tie with Ivan Lendl to win a tourney in his 15th straight year ( 2001 - 2015 ) . 15 . Oddly , Federer does n ’ t appear in the all - time top 10 for finals winning percentage . It ’ s a bit of an odd stat with Thomas Muster leading , Nikolay Davydanko tied for second and Juan Martin Del Potro , Thomas Enqvist and Jose Louis Clerc also residing in the top 10 . Federer is just sixth among active players , with the rest of the Big Four occupying spaces three , four and five . Del Potro leads the active group and in second place is — wait for it – Gilles Simon . Overall , Federer is 86 - 44 in finals . The players ranked Nos . 1 , 2 , 4 16 . He ’ s never retired from a match . 17 . He ’ s No . 1 and No . 2 on the list of consecutive hard court wins with 56 straight in 2005 - 06 and 36 straight in 2006 - 2007 . He ’ s also No . 1 on grass , with his 65 straight wins being 50 % higher the No . 2 Bjorn Borg ( 42 ) 18 . Federer is the only player to not drop serve at a Masters 1000 event . The Fed ’ s break - less tournament came in 2012 in Cincinnati , where Federer was pushed to three tiebreaks though . Lame . 19 . In 2005 and 2006 , Federer was a combined 53 - 2 in Grand Slams . ( Reuters ) 20 . Nadal is the only member of the Big Four with a winning record against Federer . Federer has Djokovic and Murray by a match each and currently sports a 32 - 30 against them in total . Though that winning percentage is sure to tumble a bit , with both those players just turning 28 , it ’ s an impressive feat that the soon - to - be 34 - year - old has held them off for so long . Nadal , on the other hand , has a 23 - 10 record against Federer . But take clay out of the equation and that drops to a more pedestrian 13 - 8 . 21 . Federer ’ s ranking records : most weeks at No . 1 ( 302 ) , most consecutive weeks at No . 1 ( 237 ) , most weeks in the top two ( 455 ) and most consecutive weeks in the top two ( 346 ) . 22 . Federer has the most titles at one non - clay tournament . Nadal is No . 1 overall in this category with nine wins at Roland Garros . But with Federer ’ s win in Halle on Sunday , he earned his eighth title there , tying him with Guillermo Vilas ( Bueno Ares ) and Nadal ( Monte Carlo and Barcelona ) for second all time . But those were all on clay , giving Federer the non - dirt honors . Federer does have the record for most finals appearances at one tournament , with 11 in his hometown of Basel . Oddly , he ’ s only 6 - 5 in the Basel finals . 23 . Federer has won seven different tournaments at least five times . Federer ’ s latest title . ( EPA ) 24 . Federer has won three Grand Slams in a single year three times , the rest of the ATP has done it three times , in total . But Federer has never won three back - to - back Slams in a single year , due mainly to Nadal ’ s French Open dominance . He has , however , won three straight spanning two calendar years ( Wimbledon , U.S. Open , Australian Open ) on two occasions . 25 . From October 2003 through September 2005 , Federer won 24 straight finals , crushing Bjorn Borg ’ s previous record of 15 . ( AP ) 26 . The Swiss is in the top - two at each Grand Slam for most consecutive semifinals . He has 11 in Melbourne ( No . 1 ) , five in Roland Garros ( No . 1 , tied with Nadal , Djokovic ) , seven at Wimbledon 7 ( No . 1 ) and eight at the U.S. Open ( No . 2 , tied with Novak Djokovic and Ivan Lendl ) . 27 . With his win in Brisbane this January , Federer broke a tie with Ivan Lendl to win a tourney in his 15th straight year ( 2001 - 2015 ) . 28 . Federer has two double bagels in his career . He has six bagels and breadsticks ( 6 - 0 , 6 - 1 ) but oddly not a single breadstick and bagel ( 6 - 1 , 6 - 0 ) . Overall , he ’ s 87 - 0 when putting up a 6 - 0 set . And the only he himself has been bageled this millennium was when Nadal did it in the final set of the 2008 French Open . 29 . The Fed is No . 3 in most wins ever . He ’ s currently 224 wins behind Connors , who played until he was 44 . He ’ s just 41 wins behind Ivan Lendl , who played until his was 34 , the age Federer will likely be when he passes him . But Federer ’ s accomplishment is probably already more impressive than both . 30 . Federer has 105 more victories against top 10 players than Connors . This suggests that the wild - west atmosphere of tennis in the 1970s led to more victories over lesser players . Connors also is n ’ t in the top 10 for winning percentage against players in the top 10 . He ’ s hovering around 50 % while Federer is a staggering 65 % . 30 . Overall , Federer has averaged 5.7 tournament wins per year ( and we ’ re not yet halfway through 2015 and he already has four titles this year ) . ( EPA ) 31 . The Fed is the only man to win back - to - back Slams five times . He did it at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open from 2004 - 07 and at the French Open and Wimbledon in 2009 . 32 . Federer put up a 166 - 8 mark on hard courts from 2003 - 06 . Nadal , for all his clay - court dominance had a best streak of 118 - 3 , which is still amazing , but gets 10 times the hype of Federer ’ s hard - court mark , which is arguably more impressive given that there are far more “ hard - court specialists ” than clay . In 2005 and 2006 , Federer was a combined 109 - 3 on hard courts too , close to Nadal ’ s clay mark . 33 . The Fed is the career leader in tiebreak win percentage ( 65.02 % , a little better than John Isner ) . He ’ s also played the most ( 586 ) and won the most ( 381 ) . 35 . Overall , Roger Federer has won 81 % of his matches on the ATP , with a 1067 - 243 record . He ’ s the greatest player of all time .

http://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/04/villanova-unc-tops-the-list-of-the-10-best-ncaa-championship-games-ever | Villanova - UNC was the best NCAA championship game ever By : Steven Ruiz | April 5 , 2016 2 : 06 am Follow @ theStevenRuiz The 2016 NCAA tournament final was the perfect ending to an exciting month of college basketball . Villanova and North Carolina proved to be the two best teams in the country and played like it on Monday night , producing arguably the greatest national title game in the history of the tournament . Here ’ s our picks for the top 10 championship games : 1 . 2016 : Villanova beats North Carolina It was n ’ t just the thrilling back - to - back shots by Marcus Paige and Kris Jenkins . This was a well - played basketball game throughout . Both teams played efficiently on the offensive end . Villanova averaged 1.2 points per possession . North Carolina averaged 1.15 . The game was close throughout , with the lead changing hands 11 times . And did I mention those shots ? 2 . 1983 : North Carolina State beats Houston Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available . Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video . 0 : 00 1 : 06 This is typically seen as the greatest title game ever , but not anymore . It had its own thrilling ending , even if it did involve an air - ball . The game , however , was not very good . Neither North Carolina State nor Houston , with its two hall of famers , shot over 40 % from the field . The story surrounding the game ( Jim Valvano leading the Wolfpack on a surprising run ) and the finish are enough to keep it close to the top . 3 . 2008 : Kansas beats Memphis Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available . Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video . 0 : 00 1 : 05 This game featured the last title game buzzer - beater . Mario Chalmers forced overtime with a clutch 3 as time expired . Eight players who appeared in the game were drafted to the NBA , so there was plenty of star power , including Derrick Rose . The overtime period was n ’ t very dramatic , otherwise this game may have topped the list . 4 . 1982 : North Carolina beats Georgetown 0 : 35 Michael Jordan ’ s first notable clutch shot gave the Tar Heels a win over a good Georgetown team . In an interview with Craig Sager , Jordan called the shot “ the birth of Michael Jordan . ” In addition to a great ending , the game was played at a high level — thanks to hall of famers Jordan , James Worthy and Patrick Ewing — with both teams shooting over 50 % from the field . 5 . 1987 : Indiana beats Syracuse 2 : 04 Keith Smart ’ s last - second baseline jumper beat Syracuse and gave Bob Knight his last national championship . Three Indiana players scored at least 20 points , but here ’ s a crazy stat : Only four Hoosiers scored in the game . 6 . 1985 : Villanova beats Georgetown 1 : 28 The game was billed as ‘ Villanova vs . a god , ’ and that was n ’ t far off from being accurate despite the Wildcats coming out on top . Rollie Massimino ’ s team won by just two points despite shooting 78.6 % from the field and knocking down 22 free throws . Villanova needed the perfect game to beat a dominant Georgetown team and got it . 7 . 1989 : Michigan beats Seton Hall in OT 1 : 13 Rumeal Robinson ’ s free throws with three seconds remaining in overtime gave Michigan its first and only national title in basketball . Interim coach Steve Fisher was given the full - time job after the win and he would go onto put together the Fab Five . 8 . 2010 : Duke beats Butler This game would have been much higher on the list had Gordon Hayward ’ s half - court heave dropped at the buzzer . 9 . 1957 : North Carolina beats Kansas in 3OT I ’ m not even going to pretend like I know what happened in this game , but it involved Wilt Chamberlain and went to three overtimes . It sounds like it was a pretty good game — even if it took 65 minutes for the teams to crack the 50 - point mark . 10 . 1966 : Texas Western beats Kentucky This is certainly the most important national title game ever , which warrants its inclusion on this list . Texas Western was the first team starting five black players to win the national championship . Little known fact : Pat Riley was Kentucky ’ s leading scorer in the game . He scored 19 points on 22 shots . Who knew Riley was a chucker ? Steven Ruiz Follow @ theStevenRuiz | [

http://fuelfix.com/blog/2011/05/13/corn-based-ethanol-the-real-cost/ | Corn - based Ethanol : The Real Cost Posted by Michael Economides Date : May 13 , 2011 It was supposed to be the fuel that could wean , at least partially , the United States and other petroleum importing countries from their dependence on foreign oil . Corn - based ethanol was heralded to do the trick and with massive political support from both sides of the political spectrum , it has emerged as the biofuel of choice , anointed by the United States government and enjoying the support of agricultural lobbies and states . Ethanol , added to motor vehicle gasoline , is a great oxygenate and can stretch gasoline supplies blended from 10 to 85 percent , by volume . ( Note that 1.5 gallons of ethanol are needed to replace one gallon of gasoline on an equivalent energy basis . ) The ability of ethanol to stretch the gasoline stocks is the reason it was supposed to provide a measure of energy independence from imported oil . In addition , it is “ renewable ” and it evokes credits in net CO2 emissions because of the photosynthesis during the growing of corn First , the net energy ratio of corn - based ethanol ( useful energy divided by the energy required to produce a unit of ethanol ) is at best 1.25 but in practice a lot worse . Some have calculated a ratio less than one , meaning that it takes more energy to produce ethanol from corn than the energy content of the fuel . Because of very large government subsidies ( see more below ) the growth in corn - based ethanol has been nothing short of meteoric . From 2000 to 2010 , ethanol production in the United States from the fermentation of corn , increased from 1.6 to 13.2 billion gallons per year . In 2011 this is expected to grow to almost 14 billion gallons . Congressional mandates have decreed that by 2022 , biofuels blended into the US gasoline pool will increase to 35 billion gallons per year . Thanks to considerable improvements in productivity for corn and other crops , US planted land has decreased by 39 million acres since 1980 from about 356 to 317 million acres , an 11 % decrease . Corn ’ s share increased from 23.6 % to 27.8 % ( 88 million acres ) displacing 13.4 million acres of other crops ( about 5.9 % of the other crop total ) . Most of this crop displacement by corn ( 5.2 % out of 5.9 % ) has occurred since 2003 . Without the dramatic improvement in corn productivity from 91 bushels Which crops are being displaced by corn ? Food crops , animal feed crops , as well as cotton are all have experienced decreases . Since 2003 , corn acreage increased 12.2 % . Over the same time period : Wheat acreage decreased 13.7 % Sorghum acreage decreased 42.6 % Hay acreage decreased 5.5 % Cotton acreage decreased 18.6 % Barley acreage decreased 46.3 % Oats acreage decreased 31.7 % The farmers are just responding to the economics of corn . High gasoline prices drive ethanol prices up and high ethanol prices drive corn prices up . With corn prices averaging $ 5.40 per bushel in 2010 , farmers could bring in gross revenue of $ 756 per acre for every acre of corn they planted . When cattle feed lots , poultry producers , and hog producers have to pay $ 5.40 per bushel for corn , is it surprising that food prices are increasing ? The decrease in sorghum , hay , and oats acreage only makes the situation worse . With cotton acreage decreasing by 18.6 % , why was it surprising that cotton prices went up 86 % over the past 12 months ? The bottom line is the food versus fuel issue is very real and it will only get worse . To meet the 2022 mandate of 35 billion gallons of biofuels , if corn will be marshaled to fulfill the mandate ( cellulosic ethanol does not seem to be doing any discernible progress ) crop land dedicated to corn will have to increase from 88 million acres to 233 million acres , an increase of 145 million acres . That would increase the total crop land in the U.S. to 461 million acres , which is highly unrealistic because the most The rest of the story is even more unsavory . US taxpayers are subsidizing corn - based ethanol and as a direct consequence food and clothing prices go up . In 2000 , fuel ethanol used 5.9 % of the U.S. corn crop and corn was priced at $ 1.85 / bushel . In 2010 , fuel ethanol used 38.4 % of the U.S. corn crop and corn was priced at $ 5.40 / bushel . In late April of this year , corn futures were over $ 7.60 / bushel . The total crop used for corn - based ethanol in 2010 was about 4.77 billion bushels and 13.2 billion gallons of ethanol were produced . This means 2.77 gallons of ethanol are produced from each bushel of corn . This is a widely accepted number in the industry . At the current corn price of around $ 7.00 per bushel , just the corn feedstock cost for corn - based ethanol should be about $ 2.53 per gallon . On an equivalent energy basis , the cost of the corn feedstock for corn - based ethanol is $ 3.80 per But it does not end there . Robert Bryce wrote on April 29 , 2011 in the Energy Tribune . : “ Last year , the Congressional Budget Office reported that the cost to taxpayers of using corn ethanol to reduce gasoline consumption by one gallon is $ 1.78 . This year , the corn ethanol sector will produce about 13.8 billion gallons of ethanol , the energy equivalent of about 9.1 billion gallons of gasoline . Using the CBO ’ s numbers , the total cost to taxpayers this year for the ethanol boondoggle will be about $ 16.2 billion . ” Summing up the incremental impact on food prices and the direct government subsidies , the use of corn based ethanol costs the country perhaps an incremental amount of nearly $ 4 per gallon , doubling the cost per gallon in the portion that is ethanol compared to petroleum based gasoline . Corn - based ethanol has evolved into the least attractive of all energy ideas of the day . Michael Economides is Editor - in - Chief of the Energy Tribune View Comments | [

Joey ' s career takes a turn for the better when he is offered a job in Las Vegas to open for Wayne Newton . In this season , Michelle turns four , Stephanie enters the third grade at the age of eight , and D.J. begins her final year in junior high at age thirteen . Opening - credits Sequence See also : Opening credits gallery The separate close - up of Michelle is discontinued , and we start with the close - up of Michelle from the angle of Bullet ( Danny ' s car ) , with the image updated again to reflect everyone ' s ages . The soccer scene ( from Griffith Park in Los Angeles ) is also discontinued , going straight into the opening credits . The introduction of the adult actors ( Stamos , Saget , Coulier , and Loughlin ) was filmed on location in San Francisco , with Jesse sitting on a bench and strumming his guitar , Danny cleaning his car , Joey posing at Fisherman ' s Wharf while taking off his shades / sunglasses , and Becky viewing some flowers , with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background . This same sequence would be used until season seven . The girls are introduced on the set , with D.J. placing a younger picture of herself on the mantle and posing next to it ( in reality , it ' s that of a younger Candace ) , Stephanie playing with Comet in the backyard , and Michelle jumping on her bed ( shown only in the truncated version of the theme song ; in the extended version , the older girls ' credits are preceded by their opening credits from seasons 1 and 3 , respectively , to reflect their growing up ; Michelle ' s is preceded by seasons 1 , 2 , and 3 ) . The image of the cast running towards the camera is also updated . The new sequence includes images of Michelle and Jesse kissing and hugging in her room ( carried over from season 3 ' s sequence ) , the family getting off a Powell & Market Sts . cable car the minute it stops , and ends with the girls ' hair - combing scene updated to reflect their ages , then Danny , Jesse , and Joey hanging out at Fisherman ' s Wharf , and then cuts to the family having a picnic on Closing - credits Sequence From this season through season five , some ( if not all ) of the images are updated to match that of the new opening sequence . As usual , it starts with the panoramic sweep of the Golden Gate Bridge and then goes into the image updates : The image featuring D.J. and Stephanie fishing with Danny at Fisherman ’ s Wharf ( from the first three seasons ) is now replaced with the family getting off a Powell & Market Sts . cable car when it stops ( and is the only one used in the opening with the abbreviated theme , as it D.J. ' s Very First Horse " , and only used in the season three opening with the extended theme , regardless of whether Becky is featured in the episode ) , Danny and Michelle napping in a rocking chair in her room ( seasons 2 – 3 , but only used in the opening of the season two premiere ) is replaced with the guys hanging out ( seasons 2 – 3 ) , and ends with the picnic scene . In addition , the Lorimar Television logo is now an in - credit logo and cuts out before the fade to black ( not applicable to syndicated repeats ) , and on occasion will use the music from its 1988 logo . Characters Main John Stamos as Jesse Katsopolis Bob Saget as Danny Tanner Dave Coulier Joey Gladstone Candace Cameron D.J. Tanner Jodie Sweetin Stephanie Tanner Mary - Kate and Ashley Olsen Michelle Tanner Lori Loughlin Rebecca Donaldson ( Rebecca Donaldson - Katsopolis in the second half of the season ) Recurring Andrea Barber Kimmy Gibbler Personnel change Dennis Rinsler and Marc Warren , who had joined in season two as producers and continued in that role in the previous season are promoted to supervising producers . Schedule change Capitalizing on the success of the TGIF block after its first season , ABC decided to make it all Miller - Boyett shows : Full House Family Matters and Perfect Strangers – all retaining their time slots , but in the 9 : 30 / 8 : 30C slot was the new Going Places , which lasted for one season . The block ' s new catchy theme song was altered to remove the lineup ' s animated mascot " Friday the Mouse " . And in addition to the cast previewing their show as well as the others , on occasion , was a " TGIF Trivia " segment regarding each show and a three - choice question regarding the events on that show ( in reality , all three choices are correct , as all scenes are featured in that show ' s episode ) .

http://fulton-armory.com/faqs/M1C-FAQs/M1Carbine.htm | A Pocket History of the M1 Carbine by Robert Gibson Someone wanted some info on M1 Carbine . . . .maybe this will help . Much of it is copied from the NRA ' s booklet " U . S . Caliber .30 Carbine " . Over a span of just 38 months ( the first carbines were delivered in June 1942 , the last in August 1945 ) nine primary contractors established manufacturing facilities , tooled up and turned out some six million carbines of all types - M1 , M1A1 , M2 and T3 / M3 . The production program was such a success that , excepting Inland and Winchester , the remaining contracts were cancelled in mid - 1944 . Those two companies completed their carbine production runs in August , 1945 . M1 Carbine Production Inland Manufacturing Division , G.M.C. . . . . . 2,632,097 43.0 % Winchester Repeating Arms Co . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 828,059 13.5 % Underwood - Elliot - Fisher Co . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 545,616 8.9 % Saginaw Steering Gear Div . , G.M.C. . . . . . . . . . . 517,212 8.5 % * * National Postal Meter Co . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 413,017 6.8 % * * * Quality Hardware & Machine Co . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 359,666 5.9 % International Business Machines Corp ( IBM ) . . 346,500 5.7 % Standard Products Co . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 247,160 4.0 % Rock - Ola Co . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 228,500 3.7 % - - - - - - - - - Total : 6,221,220 * Note that Saginaw had two plants in operation , one in Saginaw , MI and one in Grand Rapids , MI . The Grand Rapids facility assumed a contract that had been originally awarded to Irwin - Pedersen Arms Co . . . .I - P had assembled only 3,542 guns at the time , none of which were accepted by the government . * * Note that a few early NPM receivers are marked " Rochester " , for the Rochester Defence Corp . A very few late receivers are marked " CCC " , for Commecial Controls Corp . * * * Note that some Quality Hardware carbines were assembled using receivers made by Union Switch & Signal Co , hence the " UN - QUALITY " marked carbines . These are highly prized by some carbine aficionados . The history of who made what during the brief 38 months of production is a story that can ( and does ) fill a book . Might I suggest you find a copy of " WAR BABY " or " M1 Carbine Design , Development and Production " by Larry Ruth . Another recommended book is " Guide to Collecting the M1 Carbine " by Robert Gibson ( no relation , by the way ! ) . . .they ' re all good books with tons of info . Another excellent reference book is " U.S. M1 Carbines : Wartime Production " by Craig Riesch , a North Cape Publications " For Collectors Only " series . Which are the most collectable ? Depends on what your own personal criteria might be . Rock - Ola ' s are always desirable , not only because there were fewer made than any other make but because Rock - Ola was a famous juke box maker of the period who ' s product was quite familiar to the WWII GI ' s . Others look to the Winchester carbines because of the name on the receiver . . . .I own one these myself . There are all kinds of reasons to own a particular " brand " of Mechanically they were each and every one built to the same design specs as specified in the contracts the maker signed with the U.S. Government . You could strip 25 M1 Carbines down to their component parts , mixed ' em up in a box and then reassemble them at random back into 25 carbines . . . .they would be expected to function within the specified performance parameters . Finding what you want is another matter . If not available at your local gunshops or gunshows you could get a current issue of Gun List , the indexed firearms paper . . . .many , many M1 Carbines will be found listed in the Military Weapons section . Another source is Fulton Armory . . . .call ( 301 ) 490 - 9485 . On this subject . . . .at a recent gunshow I attended in Birmingham , Alabama ( Jan . 5 , 1997 ) the prices being asked for typical M1 Carbines were running from low of $ 450 for Inlands to a high of $ 650 for Rock - Olas . The Carbines I examined appeared to contain the usual mixed parts one would expect . . . .a combination of the original mix of parts by the manufacturer , augmented by the various arsenal refurbishment programs following WWII and Korean wars . As a counterpoint my local gunsmith still has a few Quality Hardware Carbines for sale at $ 385 . . . .mixed parts so certainly not collectables , but they ' re quite acceptable " shooters " and would satisfy most who have an itch to own a GI Carbine of their own . On this subject I ' ve heard reports of " shooter " grade M1 Carbines still going for between $ 250 to $ 300 in scattered locations around the country . They ' ve not been this affordable in my local area since back in late 1994 or early 1995 Something a Carbine newbie should know . . . .none of the primary contractors made ALL of the parts for these handy firearms . Best among the prime contractors was Underwood - Elliot - Fisher , which made 35 of the M1 Carbine ' s 55 - 58 parts in its Hartford and Bridgeport , Conn . , plants . At the other end of the spectrum , Quality Hardware made only receivers , depending upon government supplied parts and parts from other contractors and sub - contractors from which its guns were assembled . Subcontractors involved in the carbine program number in the hundreds , and made everything from pins and springs to receivers and barrels . The U.S. Cal . .30 Carbine was designed from day one as a true " mixed parts " military firearm . . . .carrying the " any part from any source will fit " philosophy of the U.S. Rifle , Cal . .30 , M1 . . . .the M1 Garand . . . .one step further . In my rather humble opinion the design and manufacture of the M1 Carbine by the American Military Industrial Complex of the WWII era would have to be considered a watershed event in the field of military firearms production . It certainly goes without saying there are no " bad " USGI World War II era M1 Carbines seeing they were all built to the same milspecs and thoroughly inspected before acceptance by Uncle Sam . True , there are many out there now that are in need of large doses of TLC due to their hard travels around the world for the last 50 years . A good service rifle gunsmith can do wonders with one of these rather sad re - imports if someone were so inclined to rescue it , but . . . .supplies of repatriates It now rests in the gunsafe with my Garands , M1911 Govt pistols , M1903 - A3 Remingtons ' n others from the World War II era . . .including a German KAR 98k . Quite a sight actually , old cronies . . .and mortal enemies . . .resting together with actions gleaming and stocks giving off the odor of fresh linseed oil . There were also commercial M1 carbine models produced from 1960 ' s to 1980 ' s by Iver Johnson , Plainfield Machine Co . , & Universal Sporting Goods . I do n ' t much care for commercial M1 carbines so am not really up on their history , OTOH some do prefer them over GI carbines . . .different strokes for different folks . I did see a nickel - plated IJ once that was quite striking . . . .well , to be perfectly honest I thought it was somewhat gaudy . The commercial carbines simply * do not * compare well to a true - blue USGI M1 Carbine that ' s in good repair . . . .my own biased opinion of course ADDENDUM : " Bavarian Carbines " . . . .What Are They ? Following from the " For Collectors Only " edition of " U.S. M1 CARBINES " by Craig Riesch , published by North Cape Publications ( revised , 2nd edition ) " After World War II , the United States , as one of the Occupying Powers in Germany , was responsible for providing community policing in the U.S. Zone . As the United States had no intention of either remaining as an Occupation force in Germany any longer than necessary , or in becoming involved in the day - to - day government of the community , local police forces were established to asume standard policing duties ranging from traffic control to criminal investigation to forestry protection . One of the most extensive of these police forces was the Bavarian " Bavaria is one of the largest German states and included extensive forested and mountainous regions . The U.S. Army made M1 Carbines available to these local police units , many of which remained in service for more than ten years . " Many can be identified by the stampings , " BAVARIAN RURAL POLICE " , " BAVARIAN FORESTRY SERVICE " , " BAVARIAN BORDER POLICE " and " BAVARIAN STATE POLICE " on the receiver . Other carbines were furnished to the federal border guard service , the " BUNDESGRENZSHUTZ " . A variety of city and state police marks will also be noted . Most also had their component parts stamped with the last three or four digits of the original receiver serial number , as was standard German practice . Many of the carbines were reblued or refinished " Occasionally , they were rebarreled with new barrels manufactured by the German firm of ERMA Werke . A non - adjustable rear sight with a " Vee " notch was brazed on the front of the receiver behind the handguard . It provided a sight picture very much like that of the Mauser bolt action rifle , fam - iliar to its new users , many of whom had seen previous police or military service during World War II .

You are here : Home Early Learning Toddler - Safe Play Sand & Beach Small World Toddler - Safe Play Sand & Beach Small World Shared by Mary Catherine 68 Comments Recently , Snoopy and Engineer requested something different to play with while Little Hurricane was napping . I really wanted to make My Nearest and Dearest ’ s Lime Cloud Dough , but we did n ’ t have all of the ingredients . I decided to just use what we had on - hand , which was n ’ t much , and this led to a discovery of play sand that is edible ! I ’ m calling it play sand because that ’ s what the kiddos were calling it . In actuality , it ’ s just a different version of cloud dough ( see the recipe below ) . Affiliate links are included for your convenience Here ’ s the toddler - safe play sand recipe we “ discovered ” : MY LATEST VIDEOS 4 cups whole - wheat flour ( this is what makes it really look and feel like sand from the beach ) 1 / 2 cup vegetable oil It had the consistency of damp beach sand , without being sticky or wet . It was a light brown color , too , which made it look even more like sand . On top of that , it was moldable just like real beach sand ! The fact that it was safe for toddlers made it even better since I watch a couple of little ones most days during the summer . I love using materials that all of the kids ( ages 1 to 6 ) can get into safely . Of course , I watched all of the kiddos as they played ! I did n ’ t encourage the toddlers to eat the play sand , but I was n ’ t worried if they ingested a tiny amount of it . It ’ s not appropriate for kids with wheat allergies , but that was n ’ t a concern for me . Let me tell you , this incredibly simple recipe was enjoyed by many kids both last week and this week ! Engineer and Snoopy spent almost two hours playing with it , happily making a mess in my kitchen ( which is in a constant state of disarray anyway ) ! The goofballs added water to their play sand towards the end of their playtime . This made an even bigger mess , and we were n ’ t able to save the sand , but oh well ! I also brought this concoction to my preschool ’ s Island Aloha summer camp . I made enough to partially fill a kiddie pool with the play sand , and kids of all ages enjoyed playing with it . I ended up using three 5 - pound bags of whole wheat flour and 6 cups of vegetable oil . Since it was safe for kids who still put things in their mouths , the babies and toddlers were able to join the older children in the “ sand ” . Even some older children , who were there helping , Towards the end of the week , Engineer and Snoopy asked if we could bring some play sand to the park . So we did just that ! I ’ m sure I looked a little goofy carrying a bag of whole wheat flour , vegetable oil , and a long plastic tub on the playground ! For the plastic tub , I added one 5 - pound bag of whole wheat flour and two cups of vegetable oil . The kids helped me mix it all up . Then they built mountains and buried sea animals . Little Hurricane The following day , I used the play sand to create a beach small world for Engineer , Determined Diva , and Little Mama ( a 2 - year old that ’ s been visiting this summer ) . I poured it into the bottom of our water table and placed some seashells along the edge . For the “ water ” I placed clear , light green , and blue glass gems in the top section of the table . I also placed toy sharks whales , and other sea creatures along the top of the water table Engineer and Diva were eager to play with the beach scene once I was done setting it up ! Engineer immediately began patting the play sand down to make a firmer beach to play on . He set the seashells along the beach , then decided we needed some “ animals that live on land ” for that section of the small world . He rummaged around in the playroom , eventually settling on a few toy dogs and a toy tiger . Apparently , tigers like the play on the beach ! Who knew ? ! Determined Diva ended up gravitating towards the glass gems first . She liked how they fit into her hand , and she just loved the noises they made ! I watched her like a hawk to ensure none of them went into her mouth , but that did n ’ t end up being a problem at all . I DID have to make sure she did n ’ t toss the gems over the railing though ! After playing in the gems for a bit , she decided she liked the sandy bin better . She ended up alternating Engineer and Little Mama spent most of the morning ( and part of the afternoon ) on the porch playing with the beach small world ! The ocean animals all jumped into the water , which made for a very crowded ocean . Eventually , horses and knights joined the other toys on the beach , too . At one point , the knights and the dogs were burying turtles and snakes in mounds of sand . Engineer had an entire story line to go with all this — love that kid ’ s imagination ! At the end of the day , after a cumulative 4 + hours of play , the beach small world was a crazy mess ! Honestly , this did n ’ t bother me on bit . I loved hearing Engineer ’ s stories , listening to Little Mama ’ s giggles , and seeing Diva ’ s smiles as they played the day away . Plus , the mess just meant they were having fun . Yes , there ’ s also play sand all over the back porch .

http://future.wikia.com/wiki/Hubbert_peak | in : Economy Hubbert peak Edit Comments Share The Hubbert Peak theory posits that for any given geographical area , from an individual oil field to the planet as a whole , the rate of oil production tends to follow a bell - shaped curve . Early in the curve ( pre - peak ) , production increases due to the addition of infrastructure . Late in the curve ( post - peak ) , production declines due to resource depletion . " Peak Oil " as a proper noun , also known as Hubbert ' s peak , refers to a singular event in history : the peak of the entire planet ' s oil production . After Peak Oil , according to the Hubbert Peak Theory , the rate of oil production on Earth will enter a terminal decline . The theory is named after American geophysicist Marion King Hubbert , who created a model of known oil reserves , and proposed , in a paper he presented to the American Petroleum Institute in 1956 [ 3 ] , that In 1956 , Hubbert proposed that crude oil production in a given region over time would follow a bell - shaped curve without giving a precise formula ; he later used the Hubbert curve , the derivative of the logistic curve , for estimating future production . Hubbert assumed that after oil reserves are discovered , oil production at first increases approximately exponentially , as wells are drilled and more efficient facilities are installed . At some point , a peak output is reached , and oil production begins declining until it approximates an exponential decline . The Hubbert curve satisfies these constraints . Furthermore , it is symmetrical , with the peak of production reached when half of the oil that will ultimately be produced has been . It also has a single peak . Given past oil production data , a Hubbert curve may be constructed that attempts to approximate past data , and used to provide estimates for future production . In particular , the date of peak oil production and the total amount of oil ultimately produced can be estimated that way . The standard Hubbert curve is a real - valued function of one real variable ; in order to apply it to the real world , scales have to be chosen , one for time and one for oil production , based on the observed data . They are usually given implicitly by specifying the integral of the Hubbert curve , the ultimate total oil production Q ∞ , with a unit of billions of barrels , and the initial growth rate asymptotically reached for very early times , a , often expressed in percent per year . Hubbert also proposed a method for determining the values for Q ∞ and a based on empirical data , by considering the ratio of production at a given time and cumulative production to that point as a function not of time but of the cumulative production itself ; if production followed a Hubbert curve , this function would have the form , a straight line . Thus , by considering the best linear fit to the function actually observed , estimates for a and Q ∞ can be obtained . Categories Economy | [

http://futurefastforward.com/2017/10/03/marks-beginning-end-petrodollar-system/ | This Marks The Beginning Of The End Of The Petrodollar System This Marks The Beginning Of The End Of The Petrodollar System By Jim Rickards Rickards Gold Speculator Many readers are familiar with the original petrodollar deal the US made with Saudi Arabia It was set up by Henry Kissinger and Saudi princes in 1974 to prop up the US dollar At the time confidence in the dollar was on shaky ground because President Nixon had ended gold convertibility of dollars in 1971 Saudi Arabia was receiving dollars for their oil shipments but they could no longer convert the dollars to gold at a guaranteed price directly with the US Treasury The Saudis were secretly dumping dollars and buying gold on the London market This was putting pressure on the bullion banks receiving the dollar Confidence in the dollar began to crack Henry Kissinger and Treasury Secretary William Simon worked out a plan If the Saudis would price oil in dollars US banks would hold the dollar deposits for the Saudis These dollars would be recycled to developing economy borrowers who in turn would buy manufactured goods from the US and Europe This would help the global economy and help the US maintain price stability The Saudis would get more customers and a stable dollar and the US would force the world to accept dollars because everyone would need the dollars to buy oil Behind this deal was a not so subtle threat to invade Saudi Arabia and take the oil by force I personally discussed these invasion plans in the White House with Kissingers deputy Helmut Sonnenfeldt at the time The petrodollar plan worked brilliantly and the invasion never happened Now 43 years later the wheels are coming off The world is losing confidence in the dollar again China just announced that any oilexporter that accepts yuan for oil can convert the oil to gold on the Shanghai Gold Exchange and hedge the hard currency value of the gold on the Shanghai Futures Exchange The deal has several parts which together spell dollar doom The first part is that China will buy oil from Russia and Iran in exchange for yuan The yuan is not a major reserve currency so its not an especially attractive asset for Russia or Iran to hold China solves that problem by offering to convert yuan into gold on a spot basis on the Shanghai Gold Exchange This straightthrough processing of oiltoyuantogold eliminates the role of the dollar Russia was the first country to agree to accept yuan The rest of the BRICS nations Brazil India and South Africa endorsed Chinas plan at the BRICS summit in China earlier this month Now Venezuela has also now signed on to the plan Russia is 2 and Venezuela is 7 on the list of the ten largest oil exporters in the world Others will follow quickly What can we take away from this This marks the beginning of the end of the petrodollar system that Henry Kissinger worked out with Saudi Arabia in 1974 after Nixon abandoned gold Of course leading reserve currencies do die but not necessarily overnight The process can persist over many years For example the US dollar replaced the UK pound sterling as the leading reserve currency in the 20 th century That process was completed at the Bretton Woods conference in 1944 but it began thirty years earlier in 1914 at the outbreak of World War I Thats when gold began to flow from the UK to New York to pay for badly needed war materials and agricultural exports The UK also took massive loans from New York bankers organized by Jack Morgan head of the Morgan bank at the time The 1920s and 1930s witnessed a long slow decline in sterling as it devalued against gold in 1931 and devalued again against the dollar in 1936 The dollar is losing its leading reserve currency status now but theres no single announcement or crucial event just a long slow process of marginalization I mentioned that Russia and Venezuela are now pricing oil in yuan instead of dollars But Russia has taken its dedollarization plans one step further Russia has now banned dollar payments at its seaports Although these seaport facilities are mostly stateowned many payments like those for fuel and tariffs were still conducted in dollars Not anymore This is just one of many stories from around the world showing how the dollar is being pushed out of international trade and payments to be replaced by yuan rubles euros or gold in this case I believe gold is ultimately heading to 10000 an ounce or higher Now people often ask me How can you say gold prices will rise to 10000 without knowing developments in the world economy or even what actions will be taken by the Federal Reserve Its not made up I dont throw it out there to get headlines et cetera Its the implied nondeflationary price of gold Everyone says you cant have a gold standard because theres not enough gold Theres always enough gold you just have to get the price right Im not saying that we will have a gold standard Im saying if you have anything like a gold standard it will be critical to get the price right The analytical question is you can have a gold standard if you get the price right what is the nondeflationary price What price would gold have to be in order to support global trade and commerce and bank balance sheets without reducing the money supply The answer is 10000 an ounce I use a 40 backing of the M1 money supply Some people argue for 100 backing Historically its been as low as 20 so 40 is my number If you take the global M1 of the major economies times 40 and divide that by the amount of official gold in the world the answer is approximately 10000 an ounce Theres no mystery here Its not a madeup number The math is eighth grade math its not calculus Thats where I get the 10000 figure It is also worth noting that you dont have to have a gold standard but if you do this will be the price The now impending question is are we going to have a gold standard Thats a function of collapse of confidence in central bank money which is already being seen Its happened three times before in 1914 1939 and 1971 Let us not forget that in 1977 the United States issued treasury bonds denominated in Swiss francs because no other country wanted dollars The United States treasury then borrowed in Swiss francs because people didnt want dollars at least at an interest rate that the treasury was willing to pay Thats how bad things were and this type of crisis happens every 30 or 40 years Again we can look to history and see what happened in 1998 Wall Street bailed out a hedge fund to save the world What happened in 2008 The central banks bailed out Wall Street to save the world Whats going to happen in 2018 We dont know for sure But eventually a tipping point will be reached where the dollar collapse suddenly accelerates as happened to sterling in 1931 Investors should acquire gold and other hard assets before that happens | [

http://fw.ky.gov/Education/Pages/Tygarts-Creek.aspx | K ENTUCKY D EPARTMENT of F ISH & W ILDLIFE R ESOURCES Tygarts Creek Click Here to View Moving water throughout the millennia left an indelible mark on Carter County , Kentucky . Water flowing through the ground melted the porous limestone bedrock prior to the creation of the Ohio River , creating a series of labyrinthine caves . The most scenic and unique of these are now contained within the boundaries of Carter Caves State Resort Park . Through time , flowing water cut down into the bedrock and created the spectacular Tygarts Creek Gorge , rivaling anything found in Kentucky . The sheer slate gray bluffs of the gorge that rise straight from the banks and tower above you , the mild rapids and blue - green water draw paddlers to Tygarts Creek from all over Kentucky and surrounding states . A 12 ½ - mile float showcases the Tygarts Creek Gorge . This float is suitable for beginners and families at normal water levels , but grows more challenging at higher water . The float begins in downtown Olive Hill at the Olive Hill Depot Trailhead and Campground Access on Tygart Street , near the KY 986 Bridge over the creek . The take - out is at the KY 182 Bridge at Carter Caves State Resort Park . To reach the take - out , take U.S. 60 north out of Olive Hill to a left on KY 182 . The parking area lies on the right just before you reach the bridge and entrance to the park . This pastoral section of Tygarts Creek flows low and skinny at this time of year . Water levels of less than 150 cubic feet per second ( cfs ) make this stretch a challenge to complete in a day . Check the flows for Tygarts Creek on the U.S. Geological Survey website at www . waterdata . usgs . gov . Plan on launching just after dawn and arriving at the take - out at dusk . Expect to carry your boat over shallow riffles and shoals in summer on this float . The smart paddler would quickly burn the first six miles of water till they reach the I - 64 Bridge , so they may enjoy the incredible views of the Tygarts Creek Gorge that begin shortly after the bridge . At water levels above 300 cfs , this float increases in difficultly , with several borderline Class II rapids . Also , strong current carries you into the many beautiful bluffs with overhanging rocks , so be mindful you do n ’ t crack Toward the end of this float , you will take a hard , tight left hand turn with very high bluffs , followed by Smoky Creek entering on your left ( looking downstream ) followed by another hard left with tall bluffs . You are floating around the geologic formation known as the Devil ’ s Backbone . The take - out at KY 182 Bridge lies just downstream . Look for a set of wooden steps cut into the bank on the left about 150 yards upstream of the bridge . Tygarts Creek , along with the nearby Little Sandy River and Kinniconick Creek , form three legendary native Kentucky muskellunge streams . Long before the construction of Cave Run Lake or Buckhorn Lake , the muskellunge fishing in these streams spawned a regional reputation for excellence . The creek still holds quality muskellunge today . The old time anglers on these streams believed July and August are the two toughest months to fish for muskellunge . The first and last few hours of the day are the best times to try and raise a muskellunge in August , but floating Tygarts Creek from mid - September through November is the better option . Once the water cools from the summer heat , muskellunge grow more active and show interest in lures cast near their woody lairs . Past population studies show muskellunge prefer brush and fallen trees Bass - sized crankbaits with hues of gold or chartreuse mimic the golden redhorse and spotted suckers that muskellunge gorge on when the opportunity arises . A 6 - inch soft plastic swimbait rigged on a ¼ - ounce leadhead in similar colors also works . A large in - line spinner dressed with bucktail is an old - time lure that still works for stream muskellunge when cast near a fallen tree top or sunken log . The long , slower pools in Tygarts Creek are ideal habitat for spotted or Kentucky bass . Like muskellunge , spotted bass lurk in brush , fallen tree tops or under sunken logs . They crush 4 - inch black finesse worms rigged on 1 / 8 - ounce leadheads worked thoroughly in these areas . Spotted bass also hit 3 - inch black curly - tailed grubs , black in - line spinners and small shad - colored crankbaits . Smallmouth bass abound in Tygarts Creek . Concentrate your efforts for smallmouth in the areas above and below riffles . They lie in wait in the seams where swift current meets slower . The same 3 - inch black curly - tailed grub that works for spotted bass also draws smallmouth bass when worked in these current seams . A 4 - inch motor - oil double - tailed skirted grub rigged on a 3 / 16 - ounce standup leadhead is a deadly lure for smallmouth on Tygarts Creek . Let this lure flow down the current seams or As we get into August and September , chrome or bone - colored cigar - shaped topwaters designed for the “ walk the dog ” retrieve draw vicious hits from smallmouth . These lures work best in the slack water behind boulders or in the eddy areas downstream of riffles . In addition to floating and fishing , the Tygarts Creek Gorge area offers scenic hiking and tours of Cascade and X Caves in Carter Caves State Resort Park . Cascade Cave , one of the largest of the over 200 caves in Carter County , features a 30 - foot underground waterfall and a reflecting pool . The X Cave holds unique formations such as Giant Turkey , the Pipe Organ and the Giant Chandelier . Contact the Welcome Center at Carter Caves State Resort Park for tickets to the cave tours . Carter Caves State Resort Park offers accommodations at the Lewis Caveland Lodge and also cottages for rent . The Tierney Cavern Restaurant inside Lewis Caveland Lodge provides breakfast , lunch and dinner . The park also offers seasonal canoe floats through the Tygarts Creek Gorge . View a detailed map .

http://fwp.mt.gov/fishAndWildlife/management/nativeFish.html | Feedback Overview Bull Trout As a group , all 56 native fish still inhabit Montana but some are facing a long fight for survival . Most of our best - known fish - rainbow trout , brown trout , largemouth bass , and walleye - are not native to Montana , but were introduced by newcomers as sport fish . Montana ' s native fish adapted to a life in mountain and prairie streams over thousands of years - enduring wild spring floods , summer droughts , and long , cold winters . As new settlers changed Montana ' s landscape , the cycle of life changed for Montana ' s native fish as well . The eventual planned and unplanned introductions of non - native fish also added new challenges to our native fishes ' struggle to survive in Montana waters . Like a family heirloom passed from generation to generation , Montana ' s native cutthroat trout are among the treasures that make Montana such a special place . Montana ' s native fish are Nature ' s Keepers and it ' s up to all of us to keep it that way . Management Plan Today , many Montanans are rallying to learn more about our nearly forgotten and somewhat mysterious native fish . Montana Fish , Wildlife & Parks ' Native Fish Management Plan will help native fish populations and their habitats .

Thankfully , that is rare as long as a person does not have an outstanding warrant . View More Criminal Defense Articles Supreme Court Ruling : A recent United States Supreme Court ruling concluded that there is no constitutional protection for law enforcement officers arresting you for traffic offenses . However , most law enforcement agencies do not arrest individuals who commit minor traffic offenses because it is a waste of time and money and the political ramifications of arresting individuals for traffic offenses could be problematic . Misdemeanor : Traffic offenses are not civil offenses . Any traffic violation such as a speeding ticket or moving violation are punished as a misdemeanor criminal violation under Georgia law . Change in Law : In 2012 , the Georgia General Assembly discussed the possibility of changing traffic offenses from a criminal violation to a civil or administrative one . As of February 2013 , traffic offenses are still criminal offenses under Georgia law . There are many reasons to hire a criminal defense attorney to represent you on your traffic ticket .

http://galacticcenter.org/how-to-predict-a-sudden-rise-in-life/ | How to Predict a Sudden Rise in Life The Trine with Jupiter and Rahu and the Transiting Stations I nitially when one begins the study of astrology it is believed that all events can be predicted in a chart The chart is a map of the karmas of a soul There is a promise indicated in every chart but the probability of it all coming to fruition is definitely tempered by the fact that we all have free will But some events seem predestined It is our choices and how we operate within the apparent destined events of life that can shift our soul development Much of our free will is developed through our thinking process for we can The curse of Shiva claims that Lord Shiva felt that astrologers were somehow interfering with free will and put a curse on them Essentially he declared that astrologers would never agree with each other In my opinion this is a symbolic story to help us understand we have free will and the planets reveal indications and can not be totally predicable The great guru preceptor Paramahansa Yogananda said there is nothing stronger then the will of man He respects the science of astrology but maintains that we have a certain amount of free will that can overcome the forces of the planets The trance medium Edgar Cayce also believes that astrology is well and true but there is nothing more powerful that the will of man and he repeatedly claims we can change our lives through our will and thoughts And most people would agree that if everything were predestined then there would be absolutely no purpose or meaning for life if we were all puppets acting out a script with no variation or choice Our choices that we make within the parameters of these predestined events determine our spiritual growth and can invariably change the course of our life Will we achieve happiness or misfortune through our opportunities of sudden luck and fortune Likewise our choices in times of a great fall from grace and difficulty are also events that will give us the opportunity for choices to be made and will determine our future circumstances and karma We have free will and the choices made when a fortune suddenly occurs will determine our future karma resulting in happiness or misfortune I believe it Variables Considered in Understanding the Prediction of a Sudden Rise in Fortune Why the TRINE Aspect is Important for Luck Aspect that promotes luck and fortune is the trine which is 120 degrees or 5 or 9 placements signshouses from planets In Vedic astrology Jupiter is the planet of luck and fortune and its full aspect is the trine Houses that promote luck and fortune are the trikonal houses which are 1 5 and 9 they are called the trikonal houses This reinforces the theory of the lucky aspect of the trine 120 degrees Each nakshatra is ruled by a planet There are 9 planets and each of them rule 3 nakshatras The nakshatras that are ruled by the same planet are 120 degrees from each other or trine each other in the zodiac For example the nakshatras Ashwini Magha and Mula are ruled by Ketu All 3 are in the beginning of Fire signs which trine each other When one nakshatra is activated with a transiting planet it activates the other nakshatras ruled by the same planet Simply meaning they are in trine to each other 120 degrees It is believed by most Vedic astrologers that the full aspect of both Rahu and Ketu is the 5 9 aspect which is the trine aspect of 120 degrees Rahu and Ketu definitely predict major changes within life There are many variables involved in predicting the effects of these Therefore Jupiter and Rahu and Ketu cast the same full aspect 5 9 or 120 degrees Trine All these points emphasize the importance of the trine aspect Particularly in predicting favorable events When there are three points that are 120 degrees from each other they form a grand trine in the chart The points will be in the same element and in the 3 nakshatras that are ruled by the same planet close in degree Similarities in the aspect of RahuKetu and Jupiter Jupiter and RahuKetu cast trines for a full aspect Jupiter has 2 stations a year stationary retrograde and stationary direct RahuKetu have 2 eclipses a year where they station Jupiter travels retrograde approximately 910 degrees backwards in the zodiac while RahuKetu travel approximately 912 degrees backwards at each eclipse per year 12 months apart When Jupiter and Rahu aspect one another they cast a trine and aspect the other point simultaneously creating a grand trine in a chart Natal planets aspected by the transiting grand trine create sudden wind falls of luck Rahu and Ketu appear to station and remain the same degree for 23 months twice a year at the time of the solar eclipse This is using the True Nodes which tracks the real movements of the lunar nodes I do not use the mean nodes which are estimated points of the lunar nodes It is believed that planets that cross this degree after the eclipse mark the occurrence of events Some believe it is the degree of the eclipse that marks the sensitive point which is the degree of the New moon at the time of an eclipse I The signs also activated are the signs in trine from both transiting Jupiter and the transiting lunar nodes RahuKetu The degree that Jupiter makes its station prior to the event is very sensitive to transits passing over that degree as well as the stationing degree of RahuKetu These degrees seem to be activated in events of great magnitude Both the stationary retrograde and stationary direct degree of Jupiter are significant Because when a planet stands still it is at its most powerful position Charts of large lottery wins will prove the theory of the aspects of transiting Jupiter and RahuKetu Explanation of Stations When a planet stands still it is at its point of power When a planet changes direction in the retrograde process it appears to stand still this is called a station These are points of power and must be noted The points of Jupiter and Rahu as they station prior to an event become very sensitive zones These degrees of a station mark a very sensitive spot and react like a land mine When a planet crosses over or aspects these sensitive points an event occurs These degrees stay active till another retrograde cycle occurs then a new sensitive point Rahu and Ketu appear to station when there is an eclipse The lunar nodes seem to stand still or station for about 23 months This occurs twice a year when we have the solar eclipse 6 months apart This is when Rahu and Ketu are most powerful and create a sensitive point in the zodiac and when a transit crosses over it an event occurs When a natal planet is aspected tightly in orb by these transiting station degrees an event occurs in the individuals life All these variables are considered in terms of the events that occur at the times of life changing events As an astrologer I am well aware there are many factors to consider for a prediction but for the simplicity of proving this theory we are taking into account only these variables Points Analyzed in Charts Transiting Jupiter to natal planets Conjunctions and forming trines in close proximity Transiting lunar nodes Rahu and Ketu to natal planets conjunctions and forming trines in close proximity Transiting Jupiter to transiting Rahu and Ketu conjunctions and trines Prior stations either stationary retrograde and stationary direct degrees of Jupiter that occur before the event When close to natal planets and activated by aspecting transiting planets an event occurs If they station close to a natal planet then the effects will occur concerning this natal planet house it is in and house it rules Prior stations of RahuKetu that occur around the time of the eclipse These degrees are powerful points in the chart to be activated by aspecting transits and when close to natal planets can create an event Another point that consistently appeared in the events was the connection of the transiting lunar nodes Rahu and Ketu aspecting their natal positions Natal or transiting Saturn is involved many times with the transits of RahuKetu or Jupiter Debra Houle won 26 million dollars 04041997 On that day transiting Jupiter was 21 degrees Capricorn transiting Rahu was 4 degrees Virgo Rahu was conjunct natal Mars in the 2nd house of money and Mars rules the 9th house of luck and fortune Plus transiting Jupiter in Capricorn was aspecting transiting Rahu and natal Rahu There is a grand trine involving transiting Rahu Jupiter aspecting natal Mars Moon Sun and Rahu Transiting Jupiter turned Stationary retrograde in June 1997 at 28 degrees Capricorn Rahu stationed at 4 degrees Capricorn Transiting Jupiter stationed at 28 Capricorn casting the trine aspect to natal Rahu at 28 degrees Taurus Generally the station of Jupiter is taken into account before the event but in this case this indicates the results of the lottery win after the money was received Transiting Rahu stationed at 4 degrees Virgo conjoining natal Mars Additionally the grand trine is occurring in Artha houses in earth signs denoting money Russell Clark won 3 million dollars on 11161991 On that day transiting Jupiter was 17 degrees Leo and Rahu was 17 degrees Sagittarius They are both trine each other and natal Mercury at 18 degrees of Aries completing a grand trine Mercury is in the 11th house of great gains But the last retrograde period for Jupiter was March 1991 at that time transiting Jupiter turned Stationary direct at 9 degrees of Cancer which was conjunct natal Rahu in the 2nd house of money Interestingly enough transiting Saturn activated this point too because on the day of the win transiting Saturn was 8 degrees of Capricorn on natal Ketu aspecting Rahu in the 2nd house the degree stationary Jupiter last marked Rosemary Bowser won 13 million on 12221984 On that day transiting Jupiter was 25 degrees Sagittarius forming a grand trine with the natal Moon 18 degrees Aries and SunVenus 19 degrees Leo and Mercury at 26 degrees Leo Transiting Jupiter was in the 2nd house of money The prior stationary retrograde of Jupiter was 19 degrees Sagittarius in April 1984 It is exactly in trine to the Sun and Venus Transiting Rahu was 3 degrees of Taurus conjunct the natal Rahu at 3 degrees of Taurus Additionally transiting Saturn is at 0 degrees of Scorpio conjunct natal Ketu aspecting both transiting and natal Rahu Richard Harrington won 4 million on 12232002 On that day transiting Jupiter was 23 degrees Cancer and Rahu was 14 degrees of Taurus and transiting Ketu at 14 degrees of Scorpio trines transiting Jupiter Transiting Jupiter is conjunct natal MoonKetu forming a trine to the 8th house planets in Pisces Venus Mars and Mercury The 8th house is frequently involved in lottery wins since it rules unearned money such as inheritances and insurance Transiting Ketu completes the grand trine with 14 degrees of Scorpio Transiting Rahu is trine natal Rahu as well in earth signs in Artha houses representing money matters The stations of both Jupiter and Rahu were about the same degrees that they were at the time of the lottery win Jupiter was stationary retrograde in December at 24 degrees of Cancer and Rahu was 14 degrees of Taurus This empowered these degrees The natal Moon is directly on this station of Jupiter Shirley May won 3 million on 12261991 On that day transiting Jupiter was 20 degrees Leo and transiting Rahu was 16 degrees Sagittarius Both transiting Rahu and Jupiter cast a trine to each other but natal Jupiter complete a grand trine at 24 degrees Aries Transiting Jupiter stationed retrograde 20 degrees Leo at the time of the win Rahu was stationing at 16 degrees as well at this time During the eclipse prior to this event in July Rahu was stationed at 25 Sagittarius within a degree of natal Jupiter Transiting Ketu 16 degrees Gemini was trine natal Mars ruler of the 2nd house of money Sharon Brown won 35 million on 10261996 On that day transiting Jupiter was 18 degrees Sagittarius casting a trine to natal Saturn 19 degrees Leo and completing a grand trine with natal Sun at 10 degrees Aries Natal Saturn rules the 11th house of great gains Transiting Rahu was 14 degrees Virgo conjunct natal Ketu So the transiting nodes are conjunct the natal nodes This is called a natal inversion when Rahu conjuncts Ketu and Ketu conjuncts Rahu The station of Jupiter direct in September was 14 degrees Sagittarius and Rahu was stationing at 14 degrees in October at the time of the win Note transiting Saturn was 7 degrees Pisces conjunct natal Rahu and transiting Ketu Kathleen won 27 million on 12131991 On that day transiting Jupiter was 20 degrees Leo trine transiting Rahu 16 degrees Sagittarius natal Mars fills in the point that both trine creating a grand trine 18 degrees Aries Transiting Rahu was in the 11th house of great gains Both Jupiter and Rahu were stationing on these degrees at the time of this lottery win empowering these points Clifford Turner won 50 million on 03192004 On that day transiting Jupiter was 18 degrees Leo and Rahu was 17 degrees Aries Both Rahu and Jupiter trine each other and transiting Jupiter is conjunct natal Ketu Venus and Mars in the 9th house of luck and fortune Transiting Ketu is aspecting natal Rahu Frequently the transiting lunar nodes are aspecting the natal lunar nodes Jupiter was stationed stationary retrograde in January at 24 Leo which was trine the Ascendant degree Rahu was stationed at 17 degrees the same degree at the time of the win If you include the Ascendant degree 24 degrees Sagittarius there is a grand trine with transiting Rahu 17 Aries Transiting Jupiter 18 degrees Leo and transiting Jupiter is conjunct natal Ketu Venus and Mars Katherine Ippolito won 2 million on 01191992 On that day transiting Jupiter was 20 degrees Leo and transiting Rahu was 16 degrees Sagittarius Both transiting Rahu and Jupiter trine natal Mars at 20 degrees Aries forming a grand trine in the fire signs The stations of both Jupiter and Rahu occurred at the same time of the win so these degrees were also the stationary degrees Transiting Rahu was in the 2nd house of money activating the three Artha houses 2 6 and 10 Artha houses pertain to material things in life such as money possessions work and career Lee Dubin won 26 million on 06251994 On that day transiting Jupiter was 11 degrees Libra and transiting Rahu was also in Libra 29 degrees both conjunct natal Saturn in the 11th house of gains casting a trine to natal Mercury at 12 degrees Aquarius Jupiter was stationed stationary direct in June at the time of the win at 11 degrees of Libra Transiting Rahu stationed in May at 0 degrees Scorpio casting a trine to natal Ketu Again the transiting lunar nodes are aspecting the natal nodes Robert Abney won 1 million on 04022003 On that day transiting Jupiter was 14 degrees Cancer and transiting Ketu was 6 degrees Scorpio casting a trine to each other they both aspect the natal Sun at 6 degrees Pisces completing a grand trine Transiting Ketu is conjunct natal Rahu and transiting Rahu is conjunct natal Ketu and it is aspecting the Ascendant degree at 6 degrees Virgo Jupiter was stationed stationary direct in April at the time of the win at 14 degrees of Cancer It turned stationary retrograde in December 2002 at 24 degrees Cancer very close to the conjunction of natal Jupiter at 29 degrees Cancer in the 11th house of gains Note natal Saturn is conjunct natal Rahu and transiting Ketu is conjunct natal Saturn and Rahu as well Transiting Saturn was at 29 Taurus aspecting natal Jupiter 29 Cancer and conjunct natal Ketu in the 9th house Paula Moore won 24 million on 03171997 On that day transiting Jupiter was 18 degrees Capricorn and transiting Rahu was 4 degrees Virgo they are casting a trine to each other from the earth signs Transiting Rahu is conjunct natal Ketu in Virgo and transiting Ketu is conjunct natal Rahu in Pisces Transiting Rahu is in the 9th house of luck and fortune conjunct natal Sun Mercury and Ketu Transiting Jupiter is trine this house Transiting Rahu is trine the Ascendant degree of 1 degree Capricorn The station of Jupiter stationary retrograde was 23 degrees Sagittarius in May 1996 and the stationary direct was in December 1996 at 14 degrees Sagittarius At both stations natal Venus and Saturn are closely trine by transiting Jupiter Venus and Saturn are in the 8th house of unearned money The station of Rahu was at the same time as the win at 4 degrees of Virgo Transiting Saturn was 14 Pisces conjunct natal Rahu and transiting Ketu aspecting the 9th natal house planets as well Sun Mercury and Ketu Kenneth Green won 13 million on 12221992 On that day transiting Jupiter was 18 degrees Virgo and transiting Rahu 27 degrees Scorpio and transiting Ketu 27 Taurus Transiting Ketu is trine transiting Jupiter and both cast a trine to natal Venus at 22 Capricorn completing the grand trine Transiting Ketu is conjunct the natal Moon which is also involved in this grand trine for transiting Ketu 27 Taurus conjuncts the natal Moon 25 Taurus and transiting Jupiter 18 Virgo trines it and all are trine natal Venus 22 Capricorn The Moon is in the 11th house of gains and natal Venus rules this house Rahu is stationary at the time of the win at 27 degrees of Scorpio It is conjunct natal Saturn 26 Scorpio in the 5th house of speculation Transiting Saturn is 21 degrees Capricorn conjunct natal Venus which is the natal planet involved in the grand trine of transiting Ketu and transiting Jupiter Prior stations were Jupiter stationary retrograde in January at 20 degrees of Leo and in April stationary direct 10 degrees Leo These stations were previously transiting the 2nd house aspecting the natal Sun 19 Sagittarius and natal Ketu 15 degrees Aries The transiting and natal lunar nodes did not aspect at this time Conclusion There are of course many variables to consider when analyzing a chart in terms of a sudden rise in fortune and luck These events are foreseen as the specific karmas of a soul in this lifetime and seem to be activated as to the time of occurrence with the cyclic processes of the transiting planets There does seem to be specific variables pointing to the trine aspect transiting Jupiter and RahuKetu and their degrees of stations We perceive great gains of money as a lucky and fortunate event but the after effects could be interesting as to the karma these individuals create through their sudden gains of fortune Is it a blessing or a curse Here is where freewill comes into play as these individuals decide what they will do with their fortune | [

http://galen.org/2016/changes-to-obamacare-so-far/ | 70 Changes to ObamaCare … — So Far Published on January 28 , 2016 by Grace - Marie Turner ( pdf version ) By our count at the Galen Institute , more than 70 significant changes have been made to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act , at least 43 that the Obama administration has made unilaterally , 24 that Congress has passed and the president has signed , and three by the Supreme Court . Changes By Administrative Action 1 . ) Employee reporting : The IRS announced that , contrary to statutory language , it was delaying the ACA requirement that employers must report to their employees on their W - 2 forms the full cost of their employer - provided health insurance . ( Oct . 12 , 2010 ) 2 . ) Medicare Advantage patch : The administration ordered an advance draw on funds from a Medicare bonus program to provide payments to Medicare Advantage plans . This temporarily forestalled payment cuts called for in the ACA that could have led to cuts in benefits and an early exodus of MA plans from Medicare . The GAO later said the administration did not have authority for its action . ( Nov . 11 , 2010 ) 3 . ) Tax credits for unlawful immigrants : Section 36B of the ACA grants credits to some non - citizens with low - incomes only if they are themselves lawfully present in the U.S. and can not obtain Medicaid coverage . IRS regulations contradict the statute and allow subsidies if “ the taxpayer or a member of the taxpayer ’ s family is lawfully present in the United States , ” and “ the lawfully present taxpayer or family member is not eligible for the Medicaid program . ” ( Aug . 17 , 2011 ) 4 . ) Delaying auto - enrollment for certain large employers : The administration delayed for at least two years an ACA requirement that employers with more than 200 full - time employees must automatically enroll their employees in health coverage , unless the employee opts out , and keep them enrolled . ( Feb . 9 , 2012 . The provision was permanently repealed 2 , 2015 ) 5 . ) Delaying Conscience Mandate Safe Harbor : The administration issued a rule in February 2011 exempting only churches from its mandate that private health insurance plans provide coverage for contraception , sterilization , and abortifacients . After a firestorm of protest , the administration delayed the rule until August 1 , 2013 , later extended to January 1 , 2014 . ( At least 60 cases are making their way through the courts to challenge the rule . ) 10 , 2012 ; Jan . 1 , 2014 ) 6 . ) Subsidies may flow through federal exchanges : The IRS issued a rule that allows premium assistance tax credits to be available in federal exchanges although the law specified that they only would be available through an “ Exchange established by the State . ” ( May 23 , 2012 ) 7 . ) Tax credit subsidies for some people under 100 % FPL : Section 36B of the ACA plainly provides refundable premium tax credits to citizens only when their household incomes are within a specified range ( 100 % to 400 % of the poverty line ) . IRS regulations disregard the statutory limitation and grant credits to potentially several million persons below the 100 % statutory floor . The Treasury regulation effectively provides the largest tax credits to persons who do n ’ t satisfy the statutory criteria for eligibility . ( May 23 , 2012 ) 8 . ) Extension of credits to people receiving employer - sponsored coverage : Section 1511 of the ACA instructs the Labor Department to issue regulations requiring businesses with more than 200 employees to automatically enroll their employees in any health benefits plan offered by the employer . Section 36B denies credits to employees covered by an employer plan . IRS regulations contradict the statutory language and allow credits to taxpayers when they are automatically enrolled in employer minimum essential coverage , potentially subjecting employers to penalties . Treasury implicitly acknowledges there is no statutory authority for its regulatory change . ( May 23 , 2012 ) 9 . ) Delaying low - income plan : The administration until 2015 implementation of the Basic Health Program designed to provide more affordable coverage for certain low - income people not eligible for Medicaid . ( Feb . 7 , 2013 ) 10 . ) Closing the high - risk pool : The administration decided to prematurely halt enrollment in transitional federal high - risk pools created by the law , blocking coverage for an estimated 40,000 new applicants , citing a lack of funds . The administration had money from a fund under then - HHS Secretary Sebelius ’ control to extend the pools , but instead used the money to pay for advertising for Obamacare enrollment and other purposes . ( Feb . 15 , 2013 ) 11 . ) Doubling allowed deductibles : Because some group health plans use more than one benefits administrator , plans were allowed to temporarily apply separate patient cost - sharing limits to different services , such as doctor / hospital and prescription drugs , allowing maximum out - of - pocket costs to be twice as high as the law intended . ( Feb . 20 , 2013 ) 12 . ) Small businesses on hold : The administration said federal exchanges for small businesses will not be ready by the 2014 statutory deadline , and instead until 2015 the provision of SHOP ( Small - Employer Health Option Program ) that requires exchanges to offer a choice of qualified health plans . ( March 11 , 2013 ) 13 . ) Employer mandate delay : The administration announced via Treasury blog post , followed by IRS notification , it was delaying for one year until 2015 , contrary to statutory language , the requirement that employers provide qualified health insurance to workers or pay a fine . ( July 2 , 2013 ) 14 . ) Employer reporting delay : By an administrative action contrary to ACA language , reporting requirements for the employer mandate were by one year until 2015 . ( July 2 , 2013 ) 15 . ) Delaying Electronic Notices for Medicaid and Exchange Subsidies : The administration for a year until 2015 a requirement that state Medicaid programs provide applicants with electronic notification of their eligibility for Medicaid and exchange subsidies . ( July 5 , 2013 ) 16 . ) Self - attestation : Because of the difficulty of verifying income after the employer - reporting requirement was delayed , the administration said it would allow “ self - attestation ” of income and eligibility by applicants for health insurance in the exchanges . ( July 15 , 2013 ) 17 . ) Congressional opt - out decided to offer employer contributions to Members of Congress and their staffs when they purchase insurance on the exchanges created by the ACA , a subsidy the law does n ’ t provide . ( Sept . 30 , 2013 ) 18 . ) Delaying the individual mandate changed the deadline for the individual mandate by declaring that customers who purchased health insurance by March 31 , 2014 , would avoid the tax penalty . The law says they would have had to purchase a plan by mid - February to avoid penalties . ( Oct . 23 , 2013 ) 19 . ) Insurance companies may offer canceled plans : The administration announced that insurance companies may reoffer plans that previous regulations had forced them to cancel , if states allow it . ( Nov . 14 , 2013 ) 20 . ) Delaying the online SHOP exchange : The administration first for a month and later for a year until November 2014 the launch of the online insurance marketplace for small businesses that originally was scheduled to launch on October 1 , 2013 . ( Sept . 26 , 2013 ) ( Nov . 27 , 2013 ) 21 . ) Exempting unions from reinsurance fee : The administration gave unions an exemption from the reinsurance fee . To make up for this exemption , non - exempt plans will have to pay a higher fee , which will likely be passed onto consumers in the form of higher premiums and deductibles . ( Dec . 2 , 2013 ) 22 . ) Extending Preexisting Condition Insurance Plan extended the federal high risk pool until January 31 , 2014 and again until March 15 , 2014 to prevent a coverage gap for the most vulnerable . The plans were scheduled to expire on December 31 , but were extended because it has been impossible for some to sign up for new coverage on healthcare . gov . ( December 12 , 2013 ) ( Jan . 14 , 2014 ) 23 . ) Expanding hardship waiver to those with canceled plans : expanded the hardship waiver – which exempts people from the individual mandate and allows some to purchase catastrophic health insurance – to people who have had their plans canceled because of ObamaCare regulations . The administration later extended this waiver until October 1 , 2016 . ( Dec . 19 , 2013 ) ( March 5 , 2014 ) 24 . ) Bay State bailout : More than 300,000 people in Massachusetts gained temporary Medicaid coverage in 2014 without verification of eligibility , with the Obama and Patrick administrations using a taxpayer - funded bailout to mask the failure of the commonwealth ’ s disastrously malfunctioning website . ( Dec . 30 , 2013 ) 25 . ) Equal employer coverage delayed : Tax officials will not be enforcing in 2014 the mandate requiring employers to offer equal coverage to all employees . This provision of the law was supposed to go into effect in 2010 , but IRS officials have “ yet to issue regulations for employers to follow . ” ( Jan . 18 , 2014 ) 26 . ) Employer - mandate delayed again : for an additional year provisions of the employer mandate , postponing enforcement of the requirement for medium - size employers to provide coverage until 2016 . ( Feb . 10 , 2014 ) 27 . ) Transition relief for large employers : relaxed some requirements for larger companies , allowing them to offer insurance to only 70 % of their full - time workers in 2015 , rather than 95 % , as the statute requires . The higher threshold will begin in 2016 . ( Feb . 10 , 2014 ) 28 . ) Extending subsidies to non - exchange plans : The administration released a bulletin through CMS extending subsidies to individuals who purchased health insurance plans outside of the federal or state exchanges . The bulletin also requires retroactive coverage and subsidies for individuals from the date they applied on the marketplace rather than the date they actually enrolled in a plan . ( Feb . 27 , 2014 ) 29 . ) Non - compliant health plans get two year extension pushed forward by two years the deadline requiring health insurers to cancel plans that are not compliant with ACA mandates . These “ illegal ” plans can be offered until 2017 . This extension prevented a wave of cancellation notices from going out before the 2014 midterm elections . ( March 5 , 2014 ) 30 . ) Reducing out - of - pocket maximum payments : The ACA calls for out - of - pocket maximums to be lowered for enrollees with incomes between 100 - 400 % FPL ( Sec . 1402 ) , but the provision proved unworkable for those 250 - 400 % of FPL in combination with prescribed actuarial value requirements . The law was illegally changed through regulation to apply to only those 100 - 250 % of poverty . ( March 11 , 2014 ) 31 . ) Basic Health Plan for immigrants : The ACA creates a “ Basic Health Program ” ( BHP ) an optional program states may adopt to make subsidized coverage available to lawfully - present immigrants < 133 % FPL . Federal subsidies equal 95 % of the subsidy individuals would have received on an exchange . The HHS ’ final rule extends BHP payments to “ aliens lawfully present ” with incomes > 133 % FPL . ( The ACA permits BHP subsidies for U.S. citizens with incomes from 133 - 200 % FPL and legal aliens with incomes from 0 - 133 % FPL . ) ( March 12 , 2014 ) 32 . ) Delaying the sign up deadline : The administration the March 31 deadline until mid - April to sign up for insurance without penalty . Applicants were to check a box on their application to qualify for the extended sign - up period . ( March 26 , 2014 ) 33 . ) Canceling Medicare Advantage cuts : canceled further scheduled cuts to Medicare Advantage . The ACA calls for $ 200 billion in cuts to Medicare Advantage over 10 years . ( April 7 , 2014 ) 34 . ) More funds for insurer bailout : said it will supplement risk corridor payments to health insurance plans with “ other sources of funding ” if the higher risk profile of enrollees means the plans would lose money . ( May 16 , 2014 ) 35 . ) Exempting U.S. territories : Despite earlier administration claims that “ HHS is not authorized to choose which provisions [ of the ACA ] might apply to the territories , ” HHS waived six major requirements – such as guaranteed issue , community rating , and essential benefit mandates – that were causing serious disruption to health insurance markets covering 4.5 million residents of U.S. territories . ( July 18 , 2014 ) 36 . ) Failure to enforce abortion restrictions : A GAO report found that many exchange insurance plans do n ’ t separate charges for abortion services as required by the ACA , showing the administration is not enforcing the law . In 2014 , abortions were being financed with taxpayer funds in more than 1,000 exchange plans . ( Sept . 16 , 2014 ) 37 . ) Risk corridor coverage : The Obama administration plans to illegally distribute risk corridor payments to insurers , despite studies by both the Congressional Research Service and the GAO saying a congressional appropriation is required before federal agencies can make the payments . ( Sept . 30 , 2014 ) 38 . ) Transparency of coverage : CMS statutory requirements for insurance companies to disclose the number of people enrolled , disenrollment , number of claims denied , costs to consumers of certain services , etc . ( Oct . 20 , 2014 ) 39 . ) Tax penalty pass : Taxpayers who filed returns based upon inaccurate subsidy data they received from the federal government will not have to repay the government if they received too large of a subsidy , the IRS ruled . ( Jan . 26 , 2015 ) 40 . ) Illegal rule regarding out - of - pocket costs : HHS issued a rule changing annual limits on employee cost - sharing as defined in the ACA , forcing many employers to increase premiums to accommodate the requirements . It failed to cite a single statute providing the administration authority to make the change . ( Feb . 27 , 2015 ) 41 . ) Illegal use of exchange grants : CMS issued guidance saying that states operating their own exchanges can use money from federal grants to do outreach and education to increase enrollment , even though the ACA stipulates the grants are to be used only to set up exchanges . ( June 8 , 2015 ) 42 . ) Illegal rule on biosimilar payment : CMS finalized a rule to pay for complex - molecule biosimilar drugs as though they were generics , in direct contradiction of congressional intent to require unique payment codes for the drugs . ( Oct . 30 , 2015 ) 43 . ) Employer mandate reporting requirements delayed again : The IRS further some ACA reporting requirements for employers about health coverage offered to employees until as late as June , 2016 , contrary to statutory language . ( Dec . 28 , 2015 ) Changes By Congress , Signed By President Obama : 44 . ) Military benefits Congress clarified that plans provided by TRICARE , the military ’ s health - insurance program , constitutes minimal essential health - care coverage as required by the ACA ; its benefits and plans would n ’ t normally meet ACA requirements . ( April 26 , 2010 ) 45 . ) VA benefits Congress also clarified that health care provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs constitutes minimum essential health - care coverage as required by the ACA . ( May 27 , 2010 ) 46 . ) Drug - price clarification Congress modified the definition of average manufacturer price ( AMP ) to include inhalation , infusion , implanted , or injectable drugs that are not generally dispensed through a retail pharmacy . ( Aug . 10 , 2010 ) 47 . ) Doc - fix tax Congress modified the amount of premium tax credits that individuals would have to repay if they are over - allotted , an action designed to help offset the costs of the postponement of cuts in Medicare physician payments called for in the ACA . ( Dec . 15 , 2010 ) 48 . ) Extending the adoption credit Congress extended the nonrefundable adoption tax credit , which happened to be included in the ACA , through tax year 2012 . ( Dec . 17 , 2010 ) 49 . ) TRICARE for adult children Congress TRICARE coverage to dependent adult children up to age 26 when it had previously only covered those up to the age of 21 — though beneficiaries still have to pay premiums for them . ( Jan . 7 , 2011 ) 50 . ) 1099 repealed Congress repealed the paperwork ( “ 1099 ” ) mandate that would have required businesses to report to the IRS all of their transactions with vendors totaling $ 600 or more in a year . ( April 14 , 2011 ) 51 . ) No free - choice vouchers Congress repealed a program , supported by Senator Ron Wyden ( D . , Ore . ) that would have allowed “ free - choice vouchers , ” that The Hill warned “ could lead young , healthy workers to opt out ” of their employer plans , “ driving up costs for everybody else . ” The same law barred additional funds for the IRS to hire new agents to enforce the health - care law . ( April 15 , 2011 ) 52 . ) No Medicaid for well - to - do seniors : Congress saved taxpayers $ 13 billion by changing how the eligibility for certain programs is calculated under ObamaCare . Without the change , a couple earning as much as much as $ 64,000 a year would have been able to qualify for Medicaid . ( Nov . 21 , 2011 ) 53 . ) CO - OPs , IPAB , IRS defunded : Congress made cuts in funding to programs and agencies implementing the ACA including the IRS , the “ Consumer Operated and Oriented Plan ” program ( CO - OP ) , and the controversial Independent Payment Advisory Board . ( April 15 , 2011 ; Dec . 23 , 2011 ) 54 . ) Slush - fund savings : Congress cut $ 6.25 billion from the Prevention and Public Health slush fund through 2021 , and $ 2 billion each year thereafter . ( Feb . 22 , 2012 ) 55 . ) Less cash for Louisiana : One of the tricks used to get Obamacare through the Senate was the special “ Louisiana Purchase ” deal to win the vote of then - Sen . Mary Landrieu . Congress saved taxpayers $ 2.5 billion by rescinding some funds from this deal . ( Feb . 22 , 2012 ) 56 . ) CLASS Act eliminated repealed the unsustainable CLASS ( Community Living Assistance Services and Supports ) program of government - subsidized long - term - care insurance , which Sen . Kent Conrad ( D - ND ) dubbed a “ Ponzi scheme of the first order . ” ( Jan . 2 , 2013 ) 57 . ) Defunding CO - OPs Congress cut an additional $ 2.2 billion from the CO - OP program , blocking creation of any new plans . ( Jan . 2 , 2013 ) 58 . ) Trimming the Medicare trust - fund transfer Congress rescinded $ 200 million of the $ 500 million transfer from the Medicare Part A and Part B trust funds for the 5 year Community - Based Care Transition Program and rescinded $ 10 million of IPAB ’ s FY2013 appropriation . ( March 26 , 2013 ) 59 . ) Eliminating caps on deductibles for small group plans : Congress eliminated the cap on deductibles for small group plans as part of the SGR “ doc fix . ” This gives small businesses the freedom to offer high deductible plans that may be paired with a Health Savings Account . ( April 1 , 2014 ) 60 . ) Protecting small businesses : Congress passed and the president signed the Protecting Affordable Coverage for Employees ( PACE ) Act to protect businesses with 51 - 100 employees from ACA rules that would have led to premium increases of 18 % , impacting 150,000 businesses and 3 million workers . ( Oct . 7 , 2015 ) 61 . ) Repeal of Automatic Enrollment : The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 repealed an ACA provision which would have required employers with more than 200 full - time employees to automatically enroll their employees in health coverage , unless the employees opted out , and to keep them enrolled . ( Nov . 2 , 2015 ) 62 . ) Making the risk corridor program budget neutral : The Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2015 provides that CMS may not transfer funds from other accounts to pay for the risk corridor program . Expenditures can not exceed the funds collected in 2014 , blocking CMS from making multi - year calculations . ( Dec . 16 , 2014 ) The budget - neutrality provision for the risk corridor program was extended to payments for 2015 in the Consolidated Appropriations Act for 2016 . ( Dec . 18 , 2015 ) 63 . ) Two - year Cadillac Tax delay : The Consolidated Appropriations Act delayed for two years , from 2018 to 2020 , the effective date of the excise tax on high - cost employer - sponsored coverage . ( Dec . 18 , 2015 ) 64 . ) Cadillac tax allowed as a business expense : The repeals an ACA provision saying that the excise tax was not deductible as a business expense . ( Dec . 18 , 2015 ) 65 . ) Two - year Medical Device Tax delay : The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 delayed for 2016 and 2017 the 2.3 % ACA excise tax on sales by medical device makers . ( Dec . 18 , 2015 ) 66 . ) Delay in Health Insurance Tax collection : The set a moratorium for one year , 2017 , on the collection of the annual health insurance provider fee that has been in effect since 2013 and which increases premiums for a family by $ 530 a year . ( Dec . 18 , 2015 ) 67 . ) No IPAB in 2016 : The for 2016 defunds the Independent Payment Advisory Board for 2016 . ( Dec . 18 , 2015 ) Changes By The Supreme Court : 68 . ) Medicaid expansion made voluntary : The court ruled in NFIB v . Sebelius that it was voluntary , rather than mandatory , for states to expand Medicaid eligibility to people with incomes up to 138 % of poverty . The court rewrote the statute to say the federal government could not block funds for existing state Medicaid programs if states choose not to expand the program . ( June 28 , 2012 ) 69 . ) The individual mandate made a tax : The court also decided that violating the law ’ s mandate that Americans must purchase government - approved health insurance would not produce a “ penalty , ” as stated in the legislation , but rather would result in individuals ’ paying a “ tax . ” Paying a tax would make it , legally speaking , optional for people to comply and therefore would not violate the U.S. Constitution . ( June 28 , 2012 ) 70 . ) The law does n ’ t mean what it says : In King v . Burwell , the court overruled the plain meaning of the ACA limiting tax credits to people living in states that created their own exchanges – cited seven times in the law – and instead allowed tax credits for insurance purchased through federally - facilitated exchanges as well .

http://galileo.phys.virginia.edu/classes/152.mf1i.spring02/DiscoveringGravity.htm | index next PDF Discovering Gravity Michael Fowler Terrestrial Gravity : Galileo Analyzes a Cannonball Trajectory From the earliest times , gravity meant the tendency of most bodies to fall to earth . In contrast , things that leaped upwards , like flames of fire , were said to have “ levity ” . Aristotle was the first writer to attempt a quantitative description of falling motion : he wrote that an object fell at a constant speed , attained shortly after being released , and heavier things fell faster in proportion to their mass . Of course this is nonsense , but in his defense , falling motion is pretty fast — it ’ s Galileo was the first to get it right . ( True , others had improved on Aristotle , but Galileo was the first to get the big picture . ) He realized that a falling body picked up speed at a constant rate — in other words , it had constant acceleration ( as he termed it , the word means “ addition of speed ” in Italian ) . He also made the crucial observation that , if air resistance and buoyancy can be neglected , all bodies fall with the same acceleration , bodies of different weights dropped together reach the ground at the same time . This was a revolutionary idea — as was his assertion that it should be checked by experiment rather than by the traditional method of trying to decipher what ancient authorities might have meant . Galileo also noted that if a ball rolls without interference on a smooth horizontal surface , and friction and air resistance can be neglected , it will move with constant speed in a fixed direction — in modern language , its velocity remains constant . He considered the motion of an object when not subject to interference as its “ natural ” motion . Using his terminology , then , natural horizontal motion is motion at constant velocity , and natural vertical motion is falling at constant acceleration But he did n ’ t stop there — he took an important further step , which made him the first in history to derive useful quantitative results about motion , useful that is to his boss , a duke with military interests . The crucial step was the realization that for a cannonball in flight , the horizontal and vertical motions can be analyzed independently . Here ’ s his picture of the path of a horizontally fired cannonball animation here ! ) : The vertical drop of the cannonball at the end of successive seconds , the lengths of the vertical lines ci df eh are the same vertical distances fallen by something dropped from rest . If you drop a cannonball over a cliff it will fall 5 meters in the first second , if you fire it exactly horizontally at 100 meters per second , it will still fall 5 meters below a horizontal line in the first second . Meanwhile , its horizontal motion will be at a steady speed ( again neglecting air resistance ) , it will go 100 meters in the first second , another 100 meters in the next second , and so on . Vertically , it falls 5 meters in the first second , 20 meters total in two seconds , then 45 and so on . Galileo drew the graph above of the cannonball ’ s position as a function of time , and proved the curve was parabolic . He went on to work out the range for given muzzle velocity and any angle of firing , much to the gratification of his employer . Moving Up : Newton Puts the Cannon on a Very High Mountain Newton asked the question : what if we put the cannon on a really high ( imaginary , of course ! ) mountain above the atmosphere and fired the cannon really fast ? The cannonball would still fall 5 meters in the first second ( ignoring the minor point that g goes down a bit on a really high mountain ) , but if it ’ s going fast enough , do n ’ t forget the curvature of the earth ! The surface of the earth curves away below a horizontal line , so if we choose the right speed , after one second the cannonball will have reached a point where the earth ’ s surface itself has dropped away by 5 meters below the originally horizontal straight line . In that case , the cannonball wo n ’ t have lost any height at all — defining “ height ” as distance above the earth ’ s surface . Furthermore , “ vertically down ” has turned around a bit ( it means perpendicular to the earth ’ s surface ) so the cannonball is still moving “ horizontally ” , meaning moving parallel to the earth ’ s surface directly beneath it . And , since it ’ s above the earth ’ s atmosphere , it wo n ’ t have lost any speed , so exactly the same thing happens in the next second , and the next — it therefore goes in a circular path . Newton had foreseen how a satellite would move — Newton ’ s brilliant insight — the above picture — is fully animated in my applet here We can find how fast the cannonball must move to maintain the circular orbit by using Pythagoras ’ theorem in the diagram below ( which grossly exaggerates the speed so that you can see how to do the proof ) . The cannonball fired from point P goes v meters horizontally in one second and drops 5 meters vertically , and , if v has the right value , the cannonball will still be the same distance R from the earth ’ s center it was at the beginning of the second . ( Bear in mind that is actually about a thousandth of R so the change in the direction of “ down ” will be imperceptible , not like the exaggerated figure here . ) Knowing that the radius of the earth is 6400 km , there is enough information in the above diagram to fix the value of Notice that there is a right angled triangle with sides and and hypoteneuse + 5 . Applying Pythagoras ’ theorem , + 5 2 = 2 10 25 = Newton knew ( in different units ) that = 6400 km , so the 25 in the above equation can be neglected to give : 10 × 6400 × 1000 so 8000 . The units for are of course meters per second , on our diagram we show as a distance , that traveled in the first second . So the cannonball must move at 8 km per second , or 5 miles per second if its falling is to match the earth ’ s curvature — this is 18,000 mph , once round the earth in a little less than an hour and a half . This is in fact about right for a satellite in low earth orbit . Onward into Space : The Cannonball and the Moon It occurred to Newton one day ( possibly because of a falling apple ) that this familiar gravitational force we experience all the time here near the surface of the earth might extend outwards as far as the moon , and in fact might be the reason the moon is in a circular orbit . The radius of the moon ’ s orbit ( 384,000 km ) and its speed in orbit ( about 1 km per second ) had long been known ( see my notes if you ’ re interested in how it was measured ) , so it was easy to find , using the same Pythagorean arguments as used for the cannonball above , that the moon “ falls ” 1.37 millimeters below a straight line trajectory in one second . That is to say , the ratio of the moon ’ s acceleration towards the center of the earth to the cannonball ’ s is 1.37 / 5000 , or about 1 / 3600 . But the radius of the moon ’ s orbit is about 60 times greater than the cannonball ’ s ( which is just the radius of the earth , approximately ) . Since 60 × 60 = 3600 , Newton concluded that the gravitational force decreased with distance as 1 r Newton ’ s Universal Law of Gravitation Newton then boldly extrapolated from the earth , the apple and the moon to everything , asserting his Universal Law of Gravitation : Every body in the universe attracts every other body with a gravitational force that decreases with distance as 1 r But actually he knew more about the gravitational force : from the fact that bodies of different masses near the earth ’ s surface accelerate downwards at the same rate , using F m a ( his Second Law ) if two bodies of different masses have the same acceleration they must be feeling forces in the same ratio as their masses ( so a body twice as massive feels twice the gravitational force ) , that is , the gravitational force of attraction a body feels must be proportional to its mass Now suppose we are considering the gravitational attraction between two bodies ( as we always are ) , one of mass m one of mass By Newton ’ s Third Law , the force body 1 feels from 2 is equal in magnitude ( but of course opposite in direction ) to that 2 feels from 1 . If we think of as the earth , the force feels is proportional to as argued above — so this must be true whatever is . And , since the situation is perfectly symmetrical , the force must also be proportional to Putting all this together , the magnitude of the gravitational force between two bodies of masses and a distance apart F G The constant G = 6.67 × 10 - 11 N.m / kg It is important to realize that can not be measured by any astronomical observations . For example , g at the surface of the earth is given by E E Here is the mass and the radius of the earth . Notice that by measuring and knowing we can find But this does not tell us what is , since we do n ’ t know ! It turns out that this same problem arises with every astronomical observation . Timing the planets around the sun will give us Sun So we can figure out the ratio of the sun ’ s mass to the earth ’ s , but we ca n ’ t find an absolute value for either one . The first measurement of was made in 1798 by Cavendish , a century after Newton ’ s work . Cavendish measured the tiny attractive force between lead spheres of known mass . For details on how an experiment at the University of Virginia in 1969 improved on Cavendish ’ s work , click on the UVa Physics site Cavendish said he was “ weighing the earth ” because once was measured , he could immediately find the mass of the earth from and then go on the find the mass of the sun , etc . Describing the Solar System : Kepler ’ s Laws Newton ’ s first clue that gravitation between bodies fell as the inverse - square of the distance may have come from comparing a falling apple to the falling moon , but important support for his idea was provided by a detailed description of planetary orbits constructed half a century earlier by Johannes Kepler . Kepler had inherited from Tycho Brahe a huge set of precise observations of planetary motions across the sky , spanning decades . Kepler himself spent eight years mathematically analyzing the observations of the motion of Mars , before realizing that Mars was moving in an elliptical path . To appreciate fully how Kepler ’ s discovery confirmed Newton ’ s theory , it is worthwhile to review some basic properties of ellipses . Mathematical Interlude : Ellipses 101 A circle can be defined as the set of all points which are the same distance from a given point , so a circle of radius 1 centered at the origin O is the set of all points distance 1 from O An ellipse can be defined as the set of all points such that the sum of the distances from two fixed points is a constant length ( which must obviously be greater than the distance between the two points ! ) . This is sometimes called the gardener ’ s definition : to set the outline of an elliptic flower bed in a lawn , a gardener would drive in two stakes , tie a loose rope between them , then pull the rope tight in all different directions to form the outline . In the diagram , the stakes are at the red lines are the rope P is an arbitrary point on the ellipse . C A is called the semimajor axis length a C B the semi - minor axis , length b are called the foci ( plural of focus ) . Notice first that the string has to be of length because it must stretch along the major axis from to A then back to and for that configuration there ’ s a double length of string along and a single length from to But the length is the same as so the total length of string is the same as the total length Suppose now we put at B Since and the string has length the length We get a useful result by applying Pythagoras ’ theorem to the triangle − b ( We shall use this shortly . ) Evidently , for a circle , 0 . The eccentricity of the ellipse is defined as the ratio of so eccentricity e √ − The eccentricity of a circle is zero . The eccentricity of a long thin ellipse is just below one . and on the diagram are called the foci of the ellipse ( plural of focus ) because if a point source of light is placed at and the ellipse is a mirror , it will reflect — and therefore focus — all the light to ( This can be proved using the string construction . ) An ellipse is essentially a circle scaled shorter in one direction : in x y coordinates it is described by the equation x y a circle being given by In fact , in analyzing planetary motion , it is more natural to take the origin of coordinates at the center of the Sun rather than the center of the elliptical orbit . It is also more convenient to take θ coordinates instead of coordinates , because the strength of the gravitational force depends only on Therefore , the relevant equation describing a planetary orbit is the θ equation with the origin at one focus . For an ellipse of semi major axis and eccentricity e the equation is : cos It is not difficult to prove that this is equivalent to the traditional equation in terms of presented above . Kepler summarized his findings about the solar system in his three laws : . The planets all move in elliptical orbits with the Sun at one focus . . As a planet moves in its orbit , the line from the center of the Sun to the center of the planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times , so if the area S ( with curved side ) equals the area S D the planet takes the same time to move from as it does from D For my applet illustrating this law , click here . 3 . The time it takes a planet to make one complete orbit around the sun T ( one planet year ) is related to its average distance from the sun T ∝ 3 In other words , if a table is made of the length of year for each planet in the solar system , and its average distance from the sun is computed for each planet , the numbers are all the same . These laws of Kepler ’ s are precise , but they are only descriptive — Kepler did not understand why the planets should behave in this way . Newton ’ s great achievement was to prove that all this complicated behavior was the consequence of one simple law of attraction . How Newton ’ s Law of Universal Gravitation Explains Kepler ’ s Laws Surprisingly , the first of Kepler ’ s laws — that the planetary paths are elliptical — is the toughest to prove beginning with Newton ’ s assumption of inverse - square gravitation . Newton himself did it with an ingenious geometrical argument , famously difficult to follow . It can be more easily proved using calculus , but even this is nontrivial , and we shall not go through it in class . ( The proof is given later in these notes , if you ’ re curious to see how it ’ s done . ) The best strategy turns out to be to attack the laws in reverse order . Kepler ’ s Third Law ( well , for circular orbits ) It is easy to show how Kepler ’ s Third Law follows from the inverse square law if we assume the planets move in perfect circles , which they almost do . The acceleration of a planet moving at speed in a circular orbit of radius is towards the center . ( Of course you already know this , but it is amusing to see how easy it is to prove using the Pythagoras diagram above : just replace the 5 meters by t the “ horizontal ” distance by t write down Pythagoras ’ theorem and take the limit of a very small time . ) Newton ’ s Second Law for a planet in orbit becomes : M Now the time for one orbit is π so dividing both sides of the equation above by we find : π M so 4 This is Kepler ’ s Third Law : has the same numerical value for all the sun ’ s planets . Exercise : how are related if the gravitational force is proportional to ? to ? To The point of the exercise is that Kepler ’ s Third Law , based on observation , forces us to the conclusion that the Law of Gravity is indeed inverse square . In fact , Newton went further — he generalized the proof to elliptic orbits , and established that for the inverse square law the circle radius must ( for ellipses ) be replaced by the semimajor axis of the ellipse , that is to say is the same for all planets . This is in fact exactly what Kepler found to be the case . It follows immediately that all elliptic orbits with the same major axis length , whatever their eccentricity , have the same orbital time . Kepler ’ s Second Law A planet in its path around the sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times . Suppose at a given instant of time the planet is at point in its orbit , moving with a velocity → meters per second in the direction along the tangent at ( see figure ) . In the next second it will move meters , essentially along this line ( the distance is of course greatly exaggerated in the figure ) so the area swept out in that second is that of the triangle SPQ , where is the center of the sun . Fig 23 The area of triangle SPQ is just ½ base × height . The base PQ is meters long , the height is the perpendicular distance ⊥ from the vertex of the triangle at the sun to the baseline PQ , which is just the tangential velocity vector → Hence rate of sweeping out of area = ⊥ Comparing this with the angular momentum L of the planet as it moves around the sun , L it becomes apparent that Kepler ’ s Second Law , the constancy of the area sweeping rate , is telling us that the angular momentum of the planet around the sun is constant In fact , rate of sweeping out of area = To see what this constancy of angular momentum means , think of applying a force to a wheel on a fixed axle : If the force is above the axle , as shown , the wheel will begin to turn anticlockwise ; if it is below the axle the wheel will turn the other way — assuming no friction , the rate of change of angular momentum is equal to the torque , the product of the magnitude of the force and the perpendicular distance of the line of action of the force from the center of rotation , the axle . If the line of action of the force passes through the middle of the axle , there is no torque , For the planet in orbit , the fact that the angular momentum about the sun does not change means that the force acting on the planet has no torque around the sun — the force is directly towards the sun . This now seems obvious , but Kepler himself thought the planets were pushed around their orbits by spokes radiating out from the sun . Newton realized that Kepler ’ s Second Law showed this was wrong — the force must be directly towards the sun * Calculus Derivation of Kepler ’ s First Law Note : I ’ m including this derivation of the elliptic orbit just so you can see that it ’ s calculus , not magic , that gives this result . This is an optional section , and will not appear on any exams . We now back up to Kepler ’ s First Law : proof that the orbit is in fact an ellipse if the gravitational force is inverse square . As usual , we begin with Newton ’ s Second Law : in vector form . The force is in a radial inward direction . But what is the radial acceleration ? Is it just d d Well , no , because if the planet ’ s moving in a circular orbit it ’ s still accelerating inwards at ω ( same as ) even though is not changing at all . The total acceleration is the sum , so becomes : > ω This is n ’ t ready to integrate yet , because varies too ( in the elliptical case ) . But since the angular momentum is constant , and , we can get rid of in the equation to give : This equation can be integrated , using two very unobvious tricks , figured out by hindsight . The first is to change go from the variable to its inverse , u The other is to use the constancy of angular momentum to change the variable Anyway , u so Therefore and similarly Substituting in the equation of motion gives : This equation is easy to solve ! The solution is cos where is a constant of integration , determined by the initial conditions . This is equivalent to the standard equation of an ellipse of semi major axis and eccentricity with the origin at one focus , which is : Deriving Kepler ’ s Third Law for Elliptical Orbits The time it takes a planet to make one complete orbit around the Sun ( one planet year ) is related to the semi - major axis of its elliptic orbit by ∝ We have already shown how this can be proved for circular orbits , however , since we have gone to the trouble of deriving the formula for an elliptic orbit , we add here the ( optional ) proof for that more general case . ( Note that this same result is derived in the next lecture using energy and angular momentum conservation — the proof given here is quicker , but depends on knowing the equation for the ellipse . ) The area of an ellipse is and the rate of sweeping out of area is so the time for a complete orbit is evidently Putting the equation in the standard form we find Now , the top point of the semi - minor axis of the ellipse ( see the diagram above ) must be exactly from ( visualize the string ) , so using Pythagoras ’ theorem for the triangle we find Using the two equations above , the square of the orbital time 4 We have established , then , that the time for one orbit depends only on the semimajor axis of the orbit : it does not depend on how eccentric the orbit is index next PDF | [

Now you can eat with confidence Be Pain Free Within Days Normally $ 25 , Yours Free ! Please provide your email address , and we will email you a FREE 30 - Day Menu & Recipes : Gallbladder Diet Tips Do not overeat Do not eat under stress Eat only fresh foods Do not eat packaged foods This is not a bible . Everyone reacts differently . It is a place from which to start but the most important thing to do is to listen to your own body . Do not avoid all fats unless you are in attack or close to attack mode . Even then , a small amount of the flax oil in the beet recipe can be helpful . Fat - free and low - fat diets can be a cause for gallbladder problems as well as too much of the wrong fats . The body needs fats . Use omega 3 oils like flax or fish oil . Cold - pressed , extra - virgin olive oil is also recommended . Use with vinegar or fresh lemon juice . Garlic – Helpful to Some , Hurtful to Others Many people get reactions like gallbladder attacks from eating onions . Some also have milder symptoms with garlic . However , garlic is helpful for lowering the concentration of cholesterol in the bile which may protect against the formation of gallstones . And garlic contains sulfur which is used by the liver in detoxification . So avoid it when you are symptomatic and then try adding it in slowly . Since you are avoiding breads and other refined foods , garlic bread is NOT the way to eat garlic . Use freshly ground , grated or baked garlic . " Helpful Foods Beets Cucumbers Green beans - are NOT the same as dried Okra Sweet potatoes Avocados - a good way to get needed fats directly from food Vinegars all types Garlic helps with liver cleansing but not processed types like flakes or powder . Some people have difficulty with it but is usually ok and even helpful . Just pay attention to your own body with this one . Radishes Shallots Tomatoes - ripe cold water fish - salmon , trout Lemons ( lemon juice in the morning with hot water helps to clean the liver ) Grapes and fresh organic grape juice apples , berries , papaya , pears , pomegranates watermelon Omega 3 oils like flax or hemp . Use these with fresh lemon juice or vinegar on your salads . DO NOT COOK flax oil . Vegetable juices - Beet and cucumber are especially helpful to gallbladder You can add other green vegetables like tender baby greens , swiss chard , dandelion greens , beet greens , celery , carrots , ginger , tumeric - - avoid the cabbage family ) Avoid all fruit juices except organic grape juice and organic apple ( fresh , self - juiced is best ) . It is wise to dilute with water . All the vegetables listed above for juicing are good . Use baby mixed organic greens for salads and avoid the bitter greens for now . Fiber such as found in fruits and vegetables Avoid These Foods with Gallbladder Problems Eggs ( Research showed that eggs caused symptoms in up to 95 % of patients . Try substituting flax seed gel in recipes that require eggs for the " glue " . That ' s 1 TBSP ground flax seed to 3 TBSP hot water . Let cool and add . ) Pork Onions Fowl ( turkey , chicken ) Dairy ( milk , cheese , cream , butter ) Gluten ( wheat , barley , rye , spelt , kamut , etc . ) Beans and legumes Oranges , grapefruit Chocolate Nuts Trans fats , Hydrogenated , partially - hydrogenated oils Margarine Fried Foods Saturated fats ( even coconut oil until feeling better ) Red meats Coffee , regular or decaf - except for acalculous biliary dyskinesia * Spicy foods Ice cream Black tea Alcohol , beer , wine , liqueur Fruit juice and sugary drinks Tap water Turnips Cabbage , cauliflower Oats ( for some people ) Corn Avoid all artificial sweeteners , sugar , preservatives , refined and bleached foods ( like white flour ) Avoid smoking if possible as it can exacerbate the symptoms . Avoid all possible food allergens . * May be helpful for a low - functioning gallbladder with no stones . Diet After Gallbladder Surgery If you will read the page on gallbladder disease and how you got into trouble in the first place you will begin to understand that gallbladder surgery is not the answer to the underlying problem . This is not to say that surgery is n ' t sometimes necessary and can be helpful with the pain and other symptoms . The most common question asked on this site is why there is still pain / symptoms after gallbladder removal . Your diet needs to be changed with or without possessing a gallbladder , if you have had any form of Fats to Avoid / Fats to Include Most important is to avoid fried foods , fatty foods and particular types of fats like trans fats , hydrogenated fats , partially - hydrogenated fats ( read your labels ) and saturated fats . Include essential fatty acids such as flax oil and fish oil . Depending on how severe or acute your gallbladder problem is at the moment , even this may not be possible for you . Experiment slowly . You may have to be on The 30 Day Gallbladder Solution kit before you can add these . Most people , however , are able to eat small amounts . It should n ' t take more than a week on the products before you feel relief enough to try this . If you have used The Beet Recipe , you have Beet Recipe for Gallbladder Support Coarsely grate 1 large raw organic beet root ( washed but not peeled ) Add juice of lemon to taste ( about 1 / 4 lemon ) 1 - 2 Tbsps flax oil ( Flax oil is by far the superior choice here as it is an omega 3 essential fatty acid , but if you are insulin resistant , use olive oil . ) Take one teaspoon of mixture every hour throughout the day On day two and three make a fresh batch using ¼ of a large beet . Take one teaspoon of mixture 3 to 4 times a day or more . Make this mixture to add to your salads frequently or eat alone as above 2 or 3 times a week . This will keep the bile thin and moving . Note : If you can not get organic beets , be sure to peel them . Otherwise , use the peel as well Beets in any form are an excellent food for both the liver and the gallbladder Eat your regular meals throughout this period , striving to eat lots of fresh vegetables , good fats and to avoid refined sugars and processed foods Green Soup Recipe for Relief of Gallbladder Pain One bunch parsley 3 medium zucchini ½ lb . Green beans 5 stalks celery Steam together for 8 - 10 minutes . Or partially steam and boil in ½ cup water . If you have a steamer , you retain more nutrients and flavor with that method . Puré in a blender . NOTE : THIS SOUP IS NOT FOR A GALLBLADDER ATTACK ! Use the products ( Phos Drops ) . Liquids are best during an attack . You could try the Beet Recipe . Many find it helps , but others do better with just liquids . It is wonderful for relief from all sorts of gastric disturbances such as stomach pain , gas , and indigestion . I do not add any fat or salt to this recipe . It can be used anytime but is particularly useful as a three day fast with nothing else but water . It Getting Enough Protein One of the difficulties in the beginning of a gallbladder diet is getting enough protein . Proteins always come with fats which are often not tolerated . We recommend plant proteins in the form of a shake to supplement your protein while you can not eat many foods . We also recommend nutritional yeast flakes which can contain more than 4 gm of protein per Tbsp . Sprinkle on salads and vegetables or mix into juice . When mixed with a little olive oil it has a similar taste to a cheese sauce . That ' s stretching it a little since the texture is missing , but when you ca n ' t have dairy at all , it is quite satisfying . Watch for recipes in our newsletters . Watercress for Liver and Gallbladder Watercress is from the crussiferous or brassica family along with Brussels sprouts , kale , broccoli and aruglua . Plants in this category are known to support liver cleansing as well as bile flow but should be eaten sparingly when your gallbladder condition is acute . Watercress soup made with potatoes is delicious , filling and good for the gallbladder . The fresh , subtly peppery flavor adds a bite to salads as well . Watercress should not be eaten fresh from the streams due to possible parasitic infections . Rather , they should be purchased from a reputable seller or cleaned thoroughly before ingestion . Artichokes are Good for Bile Flow There are many research studies proving the efficacy of artichoke leaf extract for relieving the symptoms of indigestion including nausea , abdominal pain , vomiting , flatulence , constipation and intolerance of fat . Although eating artichokes as food does is not the same as a concentrated extract , the components in the artichoke leaves are helpful for increasing bile flow and relieving digestive symptoms . Artichoke leaves have liver - protective and cholesterol - lowering effects as well . | [

http://gallbladderattack.com/gallbladder-symptoms/ | Gallbladder Symptoms Gallbladder pain can be either acute or chronic . Acute gallbladder symptoms are those that accompany a gallbladder attack and are characterized by sharp , stabbing pain in the upper right side of the abdomen , nausea , vomiting and possible fever and chills . Chronic gallbladder symptoms are frequent dull pain in the same area , upper right side of the abdomen sometimes accompanied by nausea , gas and bloating and possibly burping . Take the Gallbladder Symptoms Quiz to find out more . Click Here Now Symptoms of Gallbladder Problems People can go for years with digestive symptoms and never realize that they may be related to a problem with their gallbladder . That ' s because they are so interwoven with other digestive symptoms such as indigestion , gas , bloating , constipation , diarrhea and nausea and general digestive discomfort . Constipation and weight gain can also be signs of gallbladder problems . What Causes Gallbladder Problems There could be infection in the gallbladder causing tenderness or the tenderness could simply be due to stasis of bile causing distention . The gallbladder could be not emptying fully ( biliary dyskinesia ) and lack of bile causes improper fat digestion . Gallbladder Symptoms That Start In The Liver It ' s possible that the gallbladder symptoms you are experiencing are caused by a problem that started in your liver – for example , stasis of liver bile and the formation of sludge or tiny calculi , which slows the bile flow and causes it to thicken . This does not necessarily cause a full - on gallbladder attack , but rather contributes to vague , uncomfortable digestive symptoms . Gallbladder Symptoms Video 00 : 00 00 : 00 Gallbladder symptoms may include any of the following : • Pain or tenderness under the rib cage on the right side • Indigestion after eating , especially fatty or greasy foods • Feeling of fullness or food not digesting • Constipation or frequent use of laxatives • Headache over eyes , especially right • Bitter fluid comes up after eating • Pain between shoulder blades or right shoulder • Fatty Stools • Chalky Stools • Diarrhea • Nausea • Vomiting • Dizziness • Gas & Bloating • Burps & Belches • Jaundice Gallbladder Attack Symptoms • Pain or tenderness under the rib cage on the right side • Pain in the right shoulder • Pain between shoulder blades • Girdle pain or pressure that wraps around mid - cage • Pressure or fullness mid - center below the sternum • Nausea or Vomiting • Often at night • Frequently following a fatty meal • Lasts 15 mins – 4 hrs up to 24 hrs What Causes The Symptoms Of A Gallbladder Attack ? The most common cause of a gallbladder attack is a gallstone that gets stuck in the neck of the gallbladder or in the cystic duct or common bile duct . The pain is caused by the bile trying to move but is unable to due to the blockage of the duct by the stone . However , the same symptoms of an attack can happen in someone with acalculous gallbladder disease ( no stones ) as well . A low - functioning gallbladder or a non - functioning gallbladder receives the signal to contract but can not , resulting in Underlying Causes of Gallbladder Disease These are the immediate causes of an attack , and because eating fats causes the gallbladder to contract ( or to try to ) , fats can be considered to cause the gallbladder attack . However , one also needs to look at the root of the problem . Why is the gallbladder unable to contract ? It is made of muscles that are designed to contract and eject the stored bile , after all . Inflammation in the gallbladder walls is one theory . Another question may be , why did gallstones form in the first place ? There are many contributing factors leading to the formation of gallstones , with diet being only one of several on the list . High carbohydrates in the diet , refined foods as well as insulin resistance or blood sugar problems are in that list . Low thyroid , excessive hormones , sedentary lifestyle and two dozen more . Read more about the causes of gallbladder disease . So You Have Gallbladder Symptoms – What Happens Next ? Well , do n ’ t assume you have gallstones . Visit your doctor , get an ultrasound which is generally the first step taken in formulating a diagnosis . If gallbladder stones are found , surgery is usually the recommended treatment of choice . If no gallstones are seen , your doctor might order a HIDA scan which stands for hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid scan , to see if the bile is flowing freely and to measure the ejection fraction or the percentage of bile that is ejected following a simulated fatty meal . Radioactive dye is what they use to track this . A normal ejection fraction is somewhere between 33 - 42 % give or take . The gallbladder does not eject 100 % of the bile . In fact , over 75 % of ejection is called a hyperkinetic gallbladder or hyperkinesis When Gallbladder Symptoms Send You To The Hospital Often if you visit the emergency room in the middle of an attack they will give you pain killers and muscle relaxants and send you home , telling you to see a surgeon and schedule gallbladder removal surgery at a later date . Part of the wisdom in this is because a gallbladder attack will generally subside after a few hours and it causes a lot of inflammation in the area . Excessive inflammation makes it more difficult to see what is going on in there and easier to make mistakes during surgery . So , unless there is an obvious blockage with jaundice , or if there is a fever and / or chills indicating an infection , most likely you will be advised to return for surgery when you are feeling better . While Waiting For Surgery . . . There are steps you can take with your diet , your lifestyle and supplements to minimize any discomfort , reduce inflammation and support your bile , your gallbladder , and all of your digestion . | [

http://gamboool.com/las-vegas-weather-in-september-average-temperature-and-normal-highs-and-lows | Las Vegas Weather in September – Average Temperature and Normal Highs and Lows By Steve Beauregard September may be the month when fall starts , and the NFL kicks into gear , yet Las Vegas weather in September in no way resembles what most of us would consider to be a typical autumn . Temperatures for the Strip , downtown , and other areas typically range from daily lows in the low 70 ’ s , to highs in the mid 90 ’ s Fahrenheit . For those of you who use Celsius , that ’ s roughly from lows of 21.1 to highs of 35 . The normal daily high temperature for each day of the month is 90 degrees or above . Weather in Las Vegas in September is still hot , with an average daily high of 94 degrees . Up until September 16th , the daily high temp is still at least 95 degrees , and often higher ! So do n ’ t bring out those sweaters yet . Average temperature in Las Vegas in September According to the National Weather Service , the normal temperature in Las Vegas in September is 82.6 degrees . While still warm , this represents a nice cool down from the preceding month , as August weather in Las Vegas is much warmer , with a normal temperature of 90.6 degrees . Some other weather facts for September in Sin City : Average High Temperature in September : 94 degrees . Hottest Temperature in September in Las Vegas History The warmest it has ever gotten in the Vegas valley during September is 113 degrees . This happened on September 1 , 1950 . As you might expect , the absolute hottest time in Las Vegas is around Labor Day , when September is basically an extension of summer . The warmest September days are from September 1st through the sixth , when the normal high is 98 degrees or higher . Coldest Temperatures in Las Vegas During September September is the month where the low temperatures of the day ( usually between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m. ) , approach reasonable levels . We ’ re talking temperatures where you would be comfortable getting up early and taking your morning run , which zero percent of you will do , so let ’ s use a more realistic example : the morning lows between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m. are comfortable when you are walking back from a bar or club hungover and broke . The normal daily low for Vegas in September is 71.1 degrees . The coldest temperature ever recorded in Las Vegas in September is 43 degrees . This occurred back on September 27th , 1948 . ( Related : Las Vegas weather in October Precipitation in Las Vegas in September September is the 4th driest month in Las Vegas , as the region receives just .25 inches of precipitation , on average . Strangely , because of monsoons , August is wetter in Las Vegas than September . The September record for amount of precipitation in one day in Las Vegas is 1.18 inches , set on September 11 , 2012 . If 1.18 inches of precipitation does n ’ t sound like much , keep in mind that the city averages just 4.18 inches per year . In other words , on September 11 , 2012 , Las Vegas received 28 % of its annual rainfall . In one day . Other September Las Vegas Weather Facts that may Only Interest Me * For every day in September , the record highest temperature for that day is , at the minimum , 101 degrees Fahrenheit . * The sunniest month in Las Vegas history took place in September of 1942 and 1970 , when , according to the National Weather Service , it was sunny 100 % of the time during both months ( other than nighttime of course ) . Because the NWS stopped tracking the city ’ s sunny levels in 2002 , these two months will hold the record as sunniest Las Vegas months , for eternity . * The highest wind gust recorded in Sin city in September took place on September 4 , 1980 , when gusts reached speeds of 73 miles per hour . * The average high temperature for Labor Day in Las Vegas is 99 degrees . However on Labor Day , temperatures reach triple digits 55 % of the time . September ’ s record high in Las Vegas is 113 degrees . * In terms of visitor traffic , September is the 4th slowest month in the city . On average , there are 3.3 million visitors to Las Vegas in September . * The average daily hotel occupancy rate in September is 85.9 % * The two big conventions in Las Vegas in September are the Pack Expo ( a trade show for packaging and processing professionals ) , and the Super Mobility Week , which is a trade show for the mobile phone and technology industry .

playing the feud Daniel Avidan on many occasions Leigh Daniel Avidan born March 14th 1979 better known as Danny Sexbang of the band Ninja Sex Party and commonly referred to as Dan or Danny is the co host of Game Grumps and a member of Steam Train He joined the show following Jons departure and assumed the title of NotSoGrump Contents show Music The Northern Hues The Northern Hues a band Danny sang in Before Danny was in Game Grumps or Ninja Sex Party he was in an alternative rock band named The Northern Hues a Philadelphiabased sextet which was created in early 2002 by guitarists Aron Brand and Jeff Rains Dan Avidan joined the two shortly thereafter writing songs for many months in North New Jersey and providing vocals In the Spring of 2003 the band broadened to include multitalented Alex Yaker and drummer Ian Creech Their website is now defunct though their Myspace page remains Skyhill After The Northern Hues Danny was also in an electronica duo called Skyhill with Peter Lennox The following paragraph is taken from their website httpwwwskyhillmusiccom Brooklynbased Skyhill was formed in the winter of 2006 when Dan Avidan and Peter Lennox connected through their love of atmospheric beatheavy anthems Writing recording throughout 2006 and early 2007 with Dan on vocals and Peter on guitars keyboards the band completed what would become their selfproduced debut album Run With The Hunted in the spring of 2007 In October 2015 Skyhill started a YouTube channel and posted all ten songs from the Run With the Hunted album as well as a brand new single called

80s NSP started out at a UCB as a musical guest at Dannys storytelling teachers show Strip Stories In the summer of 2014 Ninja Sex Party played a crowd of about 1000 at the NerdHQ in Los Angeles This remained their largest concert ever until they played for over 5000 at MAGFest 2016 with Tupperware Remix Party Starbomb Danny Brian and Arin have formed a band called Starbomb and have released two albums They normally make parody songs of various video games Arin made a guest appearance in the Ninja Sex Party concert at NerdHQ He introduced the duo and later performed Crashervania with them This performance marked the first and only live performance by Starbomb until Arin joined NSP and TWRP onstage at SXSW 2016 Austin to perform I Choose You to Die The Hero of Rhyme and Robots in Need of Disguise Video Mondo Media and Dirty Shorts In mid2012 Danny briefly partnered with Mondo Media to create and host a sketch comedy miniseries written by Lena Dunham called Dirty Shorts in which he portrayed an exaggerated version of himself similar to that of Danny Sexbang The series was not received well and was dropped after the first 12episode season Danny mentioned that the Mondo Media staff experience was welcoming although he was not confident that the way his character was written would appeal to audiences Danny also created wrote and provided voice acting for the studios

of part 4 Who Farted and continues the story in the next episode Jons Favorite Part He was also briefly mentioned in the Mario Party 8 episode Its Retro and the Pocky Rocky episode Rocky Road NotSoGrump and Steam Train Conductor Danny is one of the hosts or conductors on Steam Train Initially the show was planned to be separate from Game Grumps but the decision was made to post Steam Train on the Game Grumps channel Prior to Jons departure from Game Grumps the plan was to have Arin and Jon host Game Grumps while Danny and Ross hosted Steam Train Arin specifically recommended Danny as the cohost of Steam Train to Ross since he felt that Danny would have always been his second choice to cohost Game Grumps if Jon were unavailable However plans changed when Jon left unexpectedly and Danny replaced Jon as Arins cohost Danny made his first Ode to Jon followed by his Mike Tysons PunchOut playthrough Despite being recorded months prior the first episode of Steam Train Whos Calling was uploaded on the same day Due to the massive amount of changes on the Game Grumps channel announced in the matter of a couple of hours including Jons departure and the introduction of Danny Ross and Steam Train Danny was not initially happily welcomed to the Game Grumps channel by fans due to a combination of having become accustomed to Jon and Dannys openness about the fact he was not a deeplyinvolved gamer as Arin and Jon had been Early videos of Game Grumps with Dan and Steam Train received more dislikes than most previous videos on the channel and there was much controversy among As at the time Danny was working on Game Grumps Steam Train Ninja Sex Party and Starbomb his workload became too timeconsuming and Danny had to step down to a recurring role on Steam Train Dannys appearances on Steam Train became less frequent with the introduction of Barry Suzy and Brian onto the show Danny usually returns to the show for specific genres or series of games such as Sierra games Danny has also been in many GrumpOut videos notably the I Burgie Burgie and All Hail Burgie segments in which he plays the role of an emo teen After the introduction of Grumpcade it took Danny

http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Daario_Naharis | in : Second Sons Assassins Slaves and freedmen and 3 more Daario Naharis English Edit Share Daario Naharis Michael Huisman Ed Skrein Season ( s ) 3 4 5 6 First seen Second Sons Last seen The Winds of Winter Appeared in 21 episodes ( see below ) Titles Regent of the Bay of Dragons Commander of the Status Alive Origin Tyrosh Allegiance House Targaryen Culture Tyroshi Lovers Daenerys Targaryen ( formerly ) Portrayed by Ed Skrein ( Season 3 ) Michiel Huisman ( Seasons 4 - 6 ) All rulers are either butchers or meat . ― Daario to Daenerys [ src ] was originally a lieutenant in the , a sellsword company , before taking over the company and killing his superiors Mero and Prendahl na Ghezn . He then aligns with Daenerys Targaryen , and serves as her advisor and enforcer , and also eventually becomes her lover , but he is forced to part ways with her when she sails for Westeros , remaining in the Bay of Dragons to enforce the Queen ' s peace . Contents show Biography Background Daario is a Tyroshi sellsword , employed as a lieutenant in the Second Sons . He is apparently held in high enough regard by the company ' s co - captains , Mero and Prendahl na Ghezn , that they allow him to join them in contract negotiations and discussions of the company ' s future . According to Daario , his mother was a prostitute , and he comes from low beginnings . At the age of 12 , Daario was sold by his mother to a slave master from Tolos due to her declining income , alcoholism and his aggressive , unruly behavior and tendency to get into fights with other boys . He was trained as a pit fighter and had his first match in the pits when he was 16 . Daario rose to fame within the fighting pits earning his master so much money that at the time of his master ' s death Daario was rewarded with freedom . Daario chose to fight as a sellsword for the Second Sons sometime after that . Besides being fluent in the Common Tongue , Daario is also fluent in Low Valyrian due to his Tyroshi origin . Daario also seems to speak some Dothraki , though it is unknown if he is fluent in it . Daario has an unusual code for a sellsword ; he wo n ' t sleep with prostitutes and only kills soldiers who are trying to kill him , not bystanders . He does this because he feels that otherwise there is no sport and it is not exciting . Daario has said that the gods gave men two things to entertain themselves with before they die : the thrill of having sex with a woman who earnestly wants it , and the thrill of killing a man who is trying to kill you first . Daario is a highly skilled and capable warrior . Being trained a pit fighter since the age of 12 and then fighting as a sellsword after that , mostly all of Daario ' s life has revolved around fighting . During his years as a pit fighter he learned to fight with several different fighting styles ; like a Dothraki screamer , a Norvoshi priest and a Westerosi knight . Daario has over several different occasions proven his skills in combat : when he reveals to Daenerys that he single - handedly managed to kill both of the commanding officers of the Second Sons , when he along Ser Jorah and Grey Worm fight severely outnumbered against several guards in the streets of Yunkai , when he kills the Champion of Meereen in single combat with ease or when protecting Daenerys , Tyrion , and Missandei from hundreds of Sons of the Harpy along with Ser Jorah , coming out on top , unharmed , despite being outnumbered severely . Daario ' s weapons - of - choice are a Dothraki arakh and a Myrish stiletto , both which have gold - plated custom - made hilts in the shape of beautiful , naked women . His fighting style is based on speed and quick , accurate strikes with few , mostly finishing , blows based on pure strength due to his relatively small size and lean build compared to the larger , stronger opponents he frequently faced in the fighting pits . Season 3 Daario ( dressed as an Unsullied ) holds a knife at Missandei ' s throat . Daario Naharis joins the captains when they visit , who hopes to convince them to break their contract with Yunkai and fight for her instead . Daario sees through Daenerys ' s bluff that she has 10,000 Unsullied , reminding her that she has only 8,000 . When the Second Sons depart with Daenerys ' s offer and a barrel of wine , Daario ' s gaze lingers on the young queen . Back at their own camp , Daario , Mero and Prendahl discuss the situation , with Mero and Prendahl deciding to assassinate Daenerys . At Mero ' s behest , a bedslave hands out random coins – Daario draws the Braavosi coin that indicates he is the one to do the deed . His only response is " valar morghulis " - " all men must die " . That night , Daario , wearing the armor of an Unsullied slips into Daenerys ' tent and takes Missandei hostage . He then presents the heads of Mero and Prendahl and informs her he has taken command of the Second Sons . Intrigued , Daenerys demands that he swear fealty to her . Daario bends the knee and swears the Second Sons , his sword , his life , and his heart to Daenerys . Daario later assists in planning the siege of Yunkai , and is selected , along with Ser Jorah Mormont Grey Worm to infiltrate the city and open the gates from the inside . The plan succeeds brilliantly , and Jorah and Grey Worm return to their queen triumphant . Daenerys expresses concern over Daario ' s whereabouts , but he appears a moment later , presenting Yunkai ' s bloodstained flag to her . Daario is present outside the walls of Yunkai when Daenerys is greeted by the former slaves who have been liberated . He witnesses as the crowd lifts Daenerys up in the air as they shout " Mhysa " to her . Season 4 Daario gambling with Grey Worm . Ser Barristan and Missandei reveal that Grey Worm and Daario have been indulging in a bit of gambling ; they have been at the contest since midnight and have missed a morning meeting with the queen as a result . Daenerys is very irritated to discover that their contest is a game of who can balance their sword for the longest , the prize being the honor of riding at her side when the march resumes . Daenerys assigns the pair to guard the livestock as punishment for their childish game . When they fail to move , she warns Daario offers Daenerys flowers . ( " Two Swords " ) Later on , Daario slips away from his post to discuss " strategy " with Daenerys ; he gives her flowers under the guise of a lesson in the botany of Slaver ' s Bay in which he points out that Daenerys must know the land she is to rule . Daario prepared to fight the Champion of Meereen . ( " Breaker of Chains " ) At the gate of Meereen , Daario volunteers to fight Meereen ' s champion in single combat after Daenerys rejects the rest of her inner circle from fighting . Daario declines the use of a horse , noting that they are n ' t as intelligent as humans . Daario ends the duel with ruthless efficiency , striking down the horse with his stiletto and decapitating the dazed champion with his arakh . After the Meereenese fire a volley of arrows in a symbol of displeasure , Daario urinates on the nearest one in a symbol of defiance . After Daenerys takes control of Meereen , Daario announces at a council meeting that the Second Sons have captured the 93 ships of the Meereenese Navy on his orders . When asked by Daenerys why the Seconds Sons took the navy without being instructed to , he responds by saying that he heard she liked ships . Daario visits Daenerys at her private quarters . Later on , Daario comes to Daenerys ' private quarters of the Great Pyramid and brings her flowers . As Dany refuses him , he tells he has only two talents in his life : war and women . Daenerys asks him about his loyalty and Daario swears his sword and life are hers and asks her to let him do what he can the best , so to send him to kill her enemies . Instead , Daenerys focuses on the other thing Daario claims to be good at and orders him to take off his clothes . When Hizdahr zo Loraq with Daario and the Second Sons as her ambassador to Yunkai . Season 5 Daario telling Daenerys about his upbringing as a pit fighter . Daario along with the Second Sons and Hizdahr zo Loraq returns from their successful mission in Yunkai and is present within in the Great Pyramid when Hizdahr suggests to Daenerys that she should reopen the fighting pits . Daario is later seen in Dany ' s bed explaining to her that he agrees with Hizdahr ' s suggestion to reopen the pits . He then goes on to telling her about his life growing up as a boy who became a pit fighter himself and how fighting in the pits made him the warrior he is today . He is the only one who will give her honest council . He also explains that a " dragon queen " is no queen without her dragons , which encourages her to visit Rhaegal Viserion , who are chained in the catacombs . Daario and Grey Worm searching for the Son of the Harpy that murdered White Rat . Daario leads to a house where the alleged murderer of White Rat is hiding . He tells Grey Worm that his Second Sons overhear things that the Unsullied do not because they blend in with the local population . Daario is also able to deduce where a member of the Sons of the Harpy was hiding because he also understands fear , while the Unsullied do not . Later , he informs the Daenerys ' council that the man they arrested has very little useful information since Daario had questioned him earlier . When Mossador murders the Son of the Harpy , Daenerys has Daario behead Mossador in public , causing a riot . Daario brings Daenerys the news that Hizdahr zo Loraq , as well as many more supplicants are waiting for her . He states that it is n ' t necessary for Ser Barristan to be present at Daenerys ' s side when she talks with Hizdahr , claiming that he is very much capable of protecting Daenerys against Hizdahr himself , which leads to Ser Barristan taking a walk in the streets instead . He is present when Hizdahr yet again tries to convince Daenerys that the fighting pits should be reopened . Daario and Daenerys in the catacombs . Daario and Daenerys wake over the dead body of Ser Barristan . Hizdahr then enters to offer his condolences . Daario suggests to Daenerys that they could pull back to the pyramid district where they can set up a base of operation so that they can efficiently start working on catching the Sons of the Harpy . Daenerys chose to rather go with Daario ' s other suggestion , which involves apprehending the leaders of all the great families in Meereen and bringing them to her . Hizdahr states in shock of her decision that he is the leader of Rhaegal Viserion . Daario pushes one of the leaders before the dragons and watches as the master is burned alive then eaten . Later , while Daenerys is talking to Missandei she mentions that Daario thinks she should execute all the Great Masters Daario in bed with Daenerys . Daario is in bed with Daenerys , asking her if Hizdahr will soon take his place beside her in her bed . Daenerys notes a hint of jealousy in Daario , which she finds amusing and sweet . Daario suggests that on the opening day of the games in the fighting pits , she should apprehend all the Great Masters , Wise Masters and all other masters of note and execute them . Daenerys responds in horror of this suggestion that she is a queen and not a butcher , to which Daario replies that " All rulers are either butchers or meat " . Daario displaying his skills with his dagger , which makes Hizdahr nervous . Daario along with Daenerys , Tyrion , Missandei and Hizdahr are in the Great Pit of Daznak observing the opening match which is set to take place . The match features two fighters : one large man versus one smaller man . Daario states to Daenerys that she should gamble on the smaller man because Daario thinks that speed defeats size in combat . Daario is referring to himself when he says this because when he was a pit fighter himself he was also small , but this never stopped him from winning the fights , even when he was fighting against men that were much larger than him . Daario goes on explaining why this is Daario , Jorah , Missandei and Tyrion observes as Daenerys is flying on Drogon . Daario along with the others are all shocked when Jorah shows up as the second match is about to commence . Daenerys allows Jorah to fight in the match , and even though Jorah is outmatched for most of the fight he does end up winning the fight in the end . Just after the match has ended , Jorah throws a spear towards the podium where Daenerys is sitting , Daario makes sure the spear does n ' t hit Daenerys by pulling her to the side . The spear that Jorah threw was revealed to be targeted towards instead finding themselves surrounded by a huge number of Sons of the Harpy . Daario , Jorah and the Unsullied manage to kill several of them before they eventually realize that they stand no chance against such a huge number of Sons of the Harpy . Just as hope seems to fade away , Drogon appears in the arena scaring off most of the Sons and killing the rest . Daenerys ends up mounting Drogon on the back and flying out of the arena . Daario , Tyrion , Missandei and Jorah all look up to the sky as Daenerys flies away on Drogon . Daario , Jorah , Missandei , Grey Worm and Tyrion debate what to do next , now that Daenerys is missing . Daario later strategizes – or rather argues – with Tyrion and Jorah in Daenerys ' s throne room . When Missandei arrives with Grey Worm , Daario throws a few barbs his way before firmly declaring that neither Tyrion – who has no tracking or combat skills – nor Grey Worm – who is still recovering – can come with them to track the queen down . Instead , Daario declares , Grey Worm and Missandei must lead the Unsullied in keeping the peace , while Tyrion makes sure the city ' s politics do n ' t bring the Season 6 Daario and Jorah searching for Daenerys . Daario and Jorah ' s search takes them to the Dothraki Sea . Daario gets Jorah to admit that he is in love with Daenerys , while musing that there is no escaping men like them in the world , and that he would like to see Westeros once Daenerys has conquered it . They eventually stumble across a circle of hoof prints with Daenerys ' s ring in the middle , leading them to discover that Daenerys has been taken by a Dothraki khalasar Daario and Jorah overlooking Vaes Dothrak . Daario and Jorah are climbing a hill in order to get a vantage point over Vaes Dothrak , which is where their search for Daenerys has taken them . While climbing Daario continues to make fun of Jorah about how Daenerys chose Daario over him , which keeps annoying Jorah . Upon reaching the top of the hill Jorah lays out a plan on how they are going to rescue Daenerys , a plan which involves sneaking into Vaes Dothrak during nighttime unarmed , because if they were to get caught with weapons they would be killed ( because all weapons are forbidden inside Vaes Dothrak ) , but if they were unarmed they could pose as Greyscale on Jorah ' s wrist , Jorah assures Daario that it did n ' t touch him and that he is aware of the consequences it brings . Daario and Jorah then sneak in to the city during the night . They eventually stumble across the two Dothraki warriors Akho Iggo in a back alley . Jorah tries to convince the two Dothraki that they are merchant whom have gotten lost in the city , but Akho does n ' t believe their story and orders the other Dothraki to alert the city . Daario chases after Iggo while Jorah tries to fight Akho . Daario catches up with Iggo and breaks his neck before he can alert the others . Due to Jorah ' s greyscale condition he is unable to hold his own against Akho and is nearly killed right before Daario arrives to the rescue by stabbing Akho Daario in awe of Daenerys after she emerges from the burning temple . As Daenerys and another Dothraki widow Ornela exit the Temple of the dosh khaleen to get some air they run into Daario and Jorah . Daario seizes Ornela and is about to kill her , but Daenerys makes him stand down . Jorah urges them to leave quickly before the bodies of Aggo and the other Dothraki are discovered . Daenerys however has another idea which involves burning down the temple where all the khals will be meeting to decide Daenerys ' fate . Daenerys enters the temple and after a while of talking she pushes down all the pyres inside causing it to light on fire . Khal Moro attempts to flee out the back door but is unable to because it has been sealed from the outside and its guards have been killed by Daario and Jorah . Daario , Jorah and all the other Dothraki witnesses as Daenerys steps out of the burning temple alive . The Dothraki all bow to her , followed by Jorah , and Daario , who still is in shock of what he just witnessed bows last . Daario observes Jorah as he confesses his love for Daenerys . The morning after the burning of the temple , Daario is present with Daenerys when she confronts Jorah about his recent actions . Daenerys forgives Jorah and welcomes him back to her service , but Jorah refuses her offer and rather tells her to send him away again . Jorah then goes on to show Daenerys his Greyscale infection and confess his love for , which seems to make Daario not jealous but rather sad for Jorah instead , knowing he most likely will die . Instead of sending Jorah away to die , she rather commands him to look Daario watches as Daenerys inspires the Khalasar On their way back to Meereen , Daenerys questions Daario on how ships she will need to take Westeros , to which Daario responds that in order to bring all the Dothraki and their horses , the Unsullied and the Second Sons , they would need a thousand ships if not more . Daario goes on to tell Daenerys that she is n ' t a ruler but rather a conqueror instead as her political rule in Meereen has proven . Daenerys suddenly orders Daario and the Khalasar to stop , and she rides off for unknown reasons . After a long while , Daario announces to the that he is going after her . As he is about to leave , they hear Drogon approaching , with Daenerys on her back . She reveals her true intentions to the khalasar and Daario , who looks at her with satisfaction and admiration . Daario charges Daenerys ' khalasar . Daario leads the Dothraki in their charge towards the gates of Meereen to end the masters ' siege , removing the head of the first Son of the Harpy he encounters . Following the battle , Daario is summoned by his queen . As Daenerys leaves for Westeros she breaks her ties with Daario at Tyrion ' s prompting , fearing that bringing a lover to Westeros would be a detriment to her cause . Daario recognizes Tyrion ' s influence and asks to go with Daenerys , revealing that he has truly grown to love her , but she refuses him . Daario and the Second Sons are left in Meereen to keep the peace while a provisional government transfers power to the people . Season 7 Daario is briefly mentioned in a conversation between Daenerys and Tyrion . Daenerys describes Daario as a would - be hero , much like Drogo , Jorah or Jon Snow , who are brave enough to perform heroic but foolish deeds that will likely seal their fate , as if it was merely some kind of contest .

In the books In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels , Daario Naharis is a sellsword and is one of the three leaders of the mercenary company known as the Stormcrows , who are active in the Slaver ' s Bay region of Essos . The Second Sons is a different company . In the TV series , Daario says that he was the son of a prostitute in Tyrosh , who later sold him into slavery when he was twelve years old , and he was bought by a many in Tolos and trained for combat in the , where he did very well and was freed upon his master ' s death in reward . No information at all has been given about Daario ' s past in the novels , though that also means that his backstory in the TV series does n ' t contradict anything , and it is entirely plausible . In the books , he is described as having dyed blue long curly hair and a matching dyed blue beard with three prongs , though he dyed his mustachios gold . He also has a gold tooth . His loud physical appearance is typical of Tyroshi sellswords , who have a reputation for being flashy and flamboyant . He wears a Dothraki arakh on his left hip and a Myrish stiletto on his right hip , their golden hilts custom - made in the shape of naked wanton women . Daario states that he " count [ s ] no day as lived unless I have loved a woman , slain a foeman , and eaten a fine meal " . As in the series , the Daario of the books is quite taken with Daenerys , and kills Prendahl so he can switch sides . He slays not Mero , but Sallor the Bald , the third captain of the Stormcrows . Mero is killed by Barristan Selmy when he attempts to kill Daenerys while she ' s hailed by the liberated Yunkish slaves . In the show , Daario takes the role of Daenerys ' s champion against the champion of Meereen , instead of Strong Belwas . Also , Daario forms a friendly rivalry with Grey Worm , which is absent in the books . Daario and the Stormcrows remain loyal to Daenerys , although her position grows worse with every passing day . As a part of the peace agreement with Yunkai Wise Masters , Daenerys delivers them Daario and six more of her court as hostages . At the point the fifth novel ends , Daario and two others ( Hero the Unsullied and Jhogo the bloodrider ) are still held captive by the Yunkai . Ser Barristan Selmy has a plan to release them , but it is uncertain if they are still alive . In Daario ' s absence , the Stormcrows are represented at the ruling council by two seasoned sellswords named Jokin and the Widower .

http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Dragons | in : Valyria House Targaryen Animals and 5 more Dragons English View source Share For the unit of currency known as " Gold Dragons " , see " Currency " . Dragons Type Reptile , magical Diet Obligate carnivore Status Extinct from 150 AC 298 AC Endangered Habitat Preferably volcanic mountains Range Westeros ( currently ) Slaver ' s Bay ( formerly ) Valyrian Freehold ( formerly ) Worldwide ( formerly ) Origin Fourteen Fires Valyrian Peninsula Asshai Shadow Lands Essos Dragons are intelligent , more intelligent than men according to some Maesters . They have affection for their friends and fury for their enemies . Tyrion Lannister [ src ] are massive , flying reptiles that can breathe fire onto their enemies and cook their food with the same flame . They are rumored to have a strong connection to magic , which seems to be proven true when magic begins to return to the world after the birth of the first three in over two hundred years . Dragons possess awesome and devastating power , capable of laying waste to armies and burning entire cities to ashes . Men who were able to tame and ride dragons as beasts of war used them to burn their enemies and forge vast empires across the continents of Essos and Westeros The last surviving dragons in the world were possessed by House Targaryen , who used them to conquer and unify the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros three hundred years before the War of the Five Kings . Most of the Targaryen dragons died in the Dance of the Dragons about a century and a half later , and after that , the only dragons the Targaryens had were the size of cats . Soon after the civil war ended , the last Targaryen dragons died , and the species was considered to be extinct throughout the world . At the same time that the War of the Five Kings began in Westeros , Daenerys Targaryen was in possession of three petrified dragons eggs . They were given to her as a wedding gift , beautiful to look upon and valuable beyond comprehension , but otherwise useless . However , in a shocking display of old magic , Daenerys miraculously hatched the eggs and for the first time in generations dragons filled the skies . Contents show Biology Overview Dragons have long serpentine bodies , with proportionately long necks and tails . Their bodies have four limbs : two short back legs and two large wings as forelimbs , a body - plan similar to a bat . In later generations , after the dragons went extinct , physical descriptions of dragons became so confused in memory that artwork sometimes depicted them as having six limbs - two wings growing out of their backs in addition to four legs - but this is inaccurate . The teeth and claws of adult dragons are as long and sharp as swords . Daenerys marches forward with her army and her young dragons . Dragons are covered in scales , as well as spines that run down their backs from head to tail . Particularly large ridges of horns frame the edges of their faces , running along the back of the skull and along the jawline , which grow bigger as they mature . Adult dragons possess two sets of frills that run along the backs of their necks and spine , two along the sides of their necks and another two centered closer to the backbone , for a total of four frills . These are formed from webbing that grows between hackles on its back when agitated ( or a feathered animal such as a goose will puff up its feathers ) , in an attempt to appear bigger so as to intimidate its enemies . Dragons will roast their food before consumption . Dragons are also shown to have a variety of calls , from shrieking roars to low growls or hisses . They can even squeal . Dragons are obligate carnivores , with diets consisting entirely of meat . Dragons need to roast their prey with their fire - breath before consuming it - the only animals apart from humans who prefer cooked meat . Dragons can eat almost any kind of meat , anything from sheep to fish . Historical dragons ridden as beasts of war were known to eat fallen horses and even men on the battlefield . Fully grown dragons could swallow a live horse whole . Color Variations Dragons have different color patterns . The scale color of dragons is highly variable , and historical dragons ranged in color from black to silver , red , gold , and even blue . Some dragons were one solid color throughout , but more often , they tend to have one primary color for most of their body , with highlights in a secondary color along their spinal crests , horns , and wing membranes . Confirmed markings observed so far include : Black with red markings Green with bronze markings Cream with gold markings In addition to the various scales hues observed between specimens , dragons also displayed eyes color variations . Dragons being reptiles , they had vertical slit pupils with large colored irises . Drogon has red eyes while his brother , Viserion , had green eyes . Fire - breath Small tubes in Drogon ' s mouth showing where they spit fire from . Probably the most famous attribute of dragons is their ability to breathe fire . Dragon flame can turn flesh to ash , melt steel , and crack stone . Older dragons can produce more intense flame for longer duration . Dragons seem to produce their fire - breath by expelling chemicals out of two tubes in the back of their throats : when these volatile substances combine , they undergo an intense reaction which bursts into a directed jet of fire . The bodies of dragons are also very resistant to fire , particularly their own flames , which do are fire , fire given form as flesh : it is said that " fire can not kill a dragon " . Reproduction Like most reptiles , dragons lay clutches of eggs . Dragon eggs are roughly the size of a human child ' s head , and as heavy as stone , so they need to be carried with two hands . The outer shell is covered in scales , with vastly different color patterns between eggs , usually matching the color of the dragon inside . Dragon eggs are notoriously difficult to hatch , though they can maintain the spark of life inside of them for decades if not centuries . The secret key to hatching the eggs seems to involve blood magic : as the house words of the Targaryens hint , it requires " fire and blood " . To hatch them , dragon eggs must be burned in roaring flames , with which another creature is simultaneously being burned alive - a life in exchange for a life . In the wild this might just be a prey animal that the parent dragon kills , but human sacrifice will do the trick quite nicely , particularly if there is more than one egg to hatch . The exact details of dragon reproduction fell out of living memory in the nearly two centuries since they died out . Several conflicting theories and rumors have been circulated , some less grounded in fact than others . It is unclear if the mother guarded eggs she had laid , or simply left them to hatch and fend for themselves , or if the father aided the mother in caring for them . Dragons were apparently relatively solitary creatures , though it is unknown if any hierarchical relationships formed within groups of dragons . Dragons , like birds , tend to imprint on whoever is present when they hatch , regarding that person as their parent . Maturation Drogon , the size of a small dog . Newly hatched dragons are about the size of a small cat , but they grow very rapidly , reaching the size of a small dog in about one year , and the size of a small pony in only three or four years . It is unknown at what age dragons reach reproductive maturity . Dragons never stop growing as long as they live , and they can live for centuries , though many died in combat before reaching such an age . The largest Targaryen dragon , Balerion the Black Dread , lived for nearly two centuries and had a skull the size of a carriage . However , if dragons are chained or confined into an enclosed space for long periods of time it can hinder their growth and their overall size . Rhaegal and Viserion who hatched at the same time than Drogon were considerably smaller than their sibling , around half his size after being locked under Meereen ' s great pyramid for almost two years at an early stage of their development . When dragons hatch , they do have horns around their faces and along their spines , but they are still quite small and relatively rounded . Their horns grow increasingly longer and sharper as they mature , quickly making the dragon appear more dangerous and menacing to prey or other dragons . The four lines of webbed frills along a dragon ' s spine only grow to a prominent size after they are about a year old . The bigger the dragon is , the bigger its appetite . When a dragon reaches adolescence , roughly when they are the size of a pony , they tend to be rebellious to a degree , much like how human teenagers are , even snarling at their imprinted parent . However , as they mature , this trait disappears . Training and riding Dragons can not be truly " tamed " , but they can be bonded with and trained . The Valyrians rode dragons for millennia . Aegon I Targaryen and his sister - wives , who descended from Old Valyria , used the last three dragons in the world to conquer and unify the Seven Kingdoms . Dragons are fairly intelligent animals , and like a horse or a dog , they can be trained by their rider to respond to basic voice commands . Tyrion Lannister claims that dragons are intelligent , much more so than most people and will quickly recognize friend from foe . If they are not trained they will quickly lay waste to anything around them . The key to training dragons is making sure they are well fed , a dragon with a full stomach is more obedient . Since they can not be truly tamed , dragons can be very dangerous even to their riders . However , they can form very strong bonds with their riders and will show affection and trust towards them . They will even nuzzle their riders , hoping to be petted . Daenerys Targaryen has trained her three dragons to respond to vocal commands in her mother tongue of High Valyrian . She often uses the command " Dracarys " , to which her dragons respond by instantly breathing fire and burning anything in their path . History Background Five thousand years ago , men of the Valyrian Freehold learned how to master and ride dragons as beasts of war , and used them to forge an empire that stretched across most of the continent of , dominating almost half of the Known World . Four hundred years before the War of the Five Kings , the entire Valyrian empire and almost all of its dragons were destroyed in a single day , during a cataclysmic volcanic eruption known as the Doom of Valyria . One Valyrian noble family , the Targaryens , survived the Doom on the distant island outpost of Dragonstone in the Narrow Sea - along with the last surviving Valyrian dragons . One hundred years later , Aegon I Targaryen and his sisters used the last three surviving dragons in the world to conquer and unify the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros . For generations , the dragon - kings ruled over much of Westeros - but the dragons eventually died out after nearly a century and a half , and the species was subsequently considered to be extinct . Season 1 A dragon egg , used as an heirloom or item of value . In the series the dragon species is established as having been extinct for many years . The only thing left of the race are petrified dragon eggs , which are used as decoration , and the bones which are used for weapon crafting . According to one legend , dragons originated from a second moon that hatched when it drifted too close to the sun . This is mostly dismissed as a simple myth . They remain the sigil of , who were known to have a special affinity with the creatures . Even Daenerys Targaryen who knows nothing of her true heritage feels a connection with the relics of the ancient animals . She appears to feel a connection with the eggs ; causing her to develop a curiosity about the race and the possibility that there may still be living dragons . Daenerys ' s dragon eggs , gifted to her by Illyrio Mopatis . Daenerys is given three petrified dragon eggs as a gift for her wedding to Khal Drogo . The three eggs are black , green , and gold . Daenerys begins caring for the eggs as they become richer in color . She keeps them in a chest surrounded by candles , day and night as she is drawn to them . Arya stumbles upon the massive skull of one of the Targaryen dragons while chasing a cat in the vaults . She hides in the mouth of the skull and overhears the plotting of Illyrio and Varys The skull of a dragon , kept in the vaults below the Red Keep of King ' s Landing . Daenerys continues to experiment with her eggs . She briefly places one of the eggs into a fire pit in an attempt to hatch it , but the egg remains unhatched . She removes the egg from the fire with her bare hands , but remains unhurt . Daenerys Targaryen places the eggs on the funeral pyre of her husband after smothering him with a pillow . She also straps the witch Mirri Maz Duur to the pyre . She then lights the pyre , and walks into it , with all her followers believing her to be dead . In the morning however , she is found with three dragons , a green dragon in her arms , a black dragon clinging on her shoulder and a white - peach colored dragon clinging on her leg . A little moment later , the black dragon screeches and flaps his wings . Season 2 Daenerys tries to feed Drogon raw meat . Daenerys tries unsuccessfully to feed her dragons raw meat , unsure of what she is doing wrong . Later , in Qarth , she realizes that they will only eat cooked meat . She coaxes them into recognizing the Valyrian command , " Dracarys , " to breathe fire , so they can cook their own food . During her stay in Qarth , word of the dragons ' return begins to travel to other parts of Essos ; the rumors are eventually picked up by Varys , who mentions them to . Tyrion is more concerned with the impending Battle of the Blackwater than with newly hatched dragons on the other side of the world . The dragons are later stolen by the warlocks of Qarth and hidden in the House of the Undying The warlocks and Xaro Xhoan Daxos carry out a coup to seize control of the city in the wake of the theft . Pyat Pree invites Daenerys to come to the House of the Undying and be reunited with her ' babies ' . Dany ' s dragons breathe fire in " Valar Morghulis . " Once Daenerys is inside the citadel she is enthralled by two specific illusions : the Iron Throne room with a destroyed roof and snow falling in and the illusion of her dead husband and child . The sound of the crying dragons pulls Daenerys out of the temptation to stay in either illusion . Continuing her search for her dragons she finds them all chained beside each other , and they scream with excitement when she nears them . Daenerys goes to them , only to find herself chained as well . With her arms stretched to either side of first answers her call , but is n ' t very effective by himself . However , both Rhaegal Viserion then join in , setting Pyat Pree ablaze . Season 3 Drogon kills Kraznys . Daenerys arrives with her dragons in Slaver ' s Bay , hoping to acquire an army of Unsullied . With nothing else to pay the slave - masters , she offers them her largest dragon , Drogon , in exchange for all eight thousand of their Unsullied soldiers . However , the deal is a ruse ; after slave master Kraznys mo Nakloz gives her the whip signifying ownership of the Unsullied army , the dragon remains loyal to her . Revealing to everyone that she speaks Valyrian fluently , she orders her new army to slay all of the slave - masters within the city . Daenerys then commands Drogon to attack Kraznys ; the slave master is consumed in a powerful jet of Drogon ' s fire - breath .

Add a photo to this gallery Behind the scenes The dragons in the TV series are CGI creations , though in Season 2 - when they were about the size of small cats - the actors did use prop - dragon puppets on - set , to make sure that their eye - lines matched . Supervising sound editor Tim Kimmel explained in a Season 4 interview what went into creating the dragon scream sound effects and other vocalizations : " Each dragon has multiple animals stacked and put together to create it . . . [ in Season 3 ] we used the sound of two tortoises mating . There are various birds that get used in there . We sneak some other things in there — last season we had some weird dolphin sounds . I believe there ' s a pissed - off seal in there somewhere , during some of the angry To create the noise of dragon claws clacking against hard surfaces as they move around , the sound effects team used a combination of beef - rib bones , and also press - on nails hot - glued to gardening gloves . That way , drumming the fingers of the glove against a hard surface sounds more realistic , like a dragon ' s individual claws hitting a surface . In Season 5 , Drogon is about 40 feet long from snout to tail - tip , and 20 percent bigger than the other two dragons ( making them around 32 feet long ) . In Season 5 , several dragon traits were copied from different real - life animals : Komodo dragons , iguanas , horned lizards , and crocodiles . Dragon physical motions were derived from eagles and bats , while for their takeoff into flight they used pelicans as a reference . Joe Bauer stated that in Season 6 , the dragons will double in size yet again - which would make Drogon roughly 80 feet long , and the other two around 64 feet long . In Season 5 , to give the actors a better prop to react to , instead of just dangling a tennis ball and pretending it was breathing fire , the special effects team took the extra step of custom - building a fire - breathing crane . They began with a Technodolly , a motion controlled crane with a 15 foot high arm that moves in different directions while its base rolls along a track , with a telescopic arm that usually holds a camera . The crew then took the camera out , and in its place mounted a fifty feet . The crane was then programmed with Drogon ' s movements , so it could repeat the same sequence over and over again for multiple takes of the same shot . Thus the stunt team , actors , and directors always knew exactly where the dragon and its fire was supposed to be . After filming finished , digital artists then added Drogon ' s body around the real flames in the shot . A second method they used in Season 5 was the " SimulCam " system : a basic animation of the dragon would be saved on the camera monitor and imposed over what it was pointed at , so the cameramen and directors could always see where a dragon was supposed to be moving in any given shot . In the books Biology In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels , dragons are described as four - limbed creatures , with two legs and two wing - arms , like a bat . In European tradition , this creature was more often called a wyvern , and dragons were described as six - limbed creatures , with four regular legs and a pair of wings sprouting out of their back . As Martin and other Fantasy authors have pointed out , however , in terms of real - life physics , it would be far more difficult for a six - limbed dragon to actually fly than a four - limbed dragon . In the books , the bones of dragons are black due to their high iron content . In the TV series , however , the skull Arya Stark sees beneath the Red Keep is shown to be white . Weapons are sometimes made from dragon bone , and the material is especially favored for making bows , as it is stronger and more flexible than wood , making the arrows fly much farther . Dragon bone is also fireproof , giving it another advantage over wooden bows . Dragons , like certain species of amphibians and fish , have no fixed biological sex ; they can shift between male and female to meet the reproductive needs of the species . Despite this , they are usually referred to as male ; only the ones confirmed to have laid eggs were referred to as female . Growth According to Valyrian records , dragons hatch small - about the size of an average cat – growing larger as they age and as their appetites expand ; physically , a dragon never stops growing as long as it remains fed , and it was said that Balerion the Black Dread Aegon the Conqueror ' s dragon , was so huge by the time he died that he could swallow an aurochs whole . Dragons can have extremely long lifespans , but Barristan Selmy states that it is n ’ t known for certain how long the average dragon lives before dying of natural causes . This is largely because dragons were originally trained and used as weapons of war , and thus usually died of violent unnatural causes . Balerion may well have been the only Targaryen dragon that grew to healthy adulthood and simply died from old age . Feeding Something of a joke throughout the novels is that dragons seem to prefer sheep as their main food ( though they will eat any animal smaller than themselves if they are hungry enough ) . The ancient Valyrians who first trained and rode dragons were shepherds , and as such fed sheep to their mounts . During the great Targaryen civil war known as the , one wild dragon had such a fondness for sheep that the small - folk whose livestock he stole named him " Sheepstealer " . A girl named Nettles ultimately managed to bond with Sheep - stealer when she realized his preference , and brought him a new sheep every day until he grew accustomed to her presence . At ' s dragons often attack the flocks of local shepherds : In an effort placate after he breaks loose , various animals are assembled in local fighting pits to try to keep him well - fed enough so that he wo n ' t attack any more humans : one pen is filled with bulls , and another filled with a wide variety of exotic animals from across the world ( lions , tigers , bears , etc . ) which were meant to fight in the pits - but even with this wide selection of potential meals , Drogon still prefers to go after the pen filled with sheep . This may be a Vulnerabilities Aside from their ability to breathe fire , dragons were ferociously strong . They were , however , vulnerable to sustained arrow fire from the ground , to poison , and to attacks from other dragons . According to Tyrion – who has read books on the subject – a dragon ' s eyes are its only real weak spot ( not the throat or underbelly as old wives ' tales claim ) , and that the only certain way to kill a dragon is to pierce its eyes deep enough to puncture the brain behind them : Meraxes Rhaenys Targaryen ’ s dragon , was killed in precisely this manner during a conflict with the Dornish . Only other dragons are strong enough to pierce a dragon ' s scales , with tooth and claw . Some of the younger dragons that died in the Dance , who did n ' t have thick scales yet , were killed by piercing their hides , but this was still very difficult . The bottom line is that while dragons were extremely powerful , they were not outright invincible . Also , given their rarity and the large effort / expense in training them , they were not simply deployed in battle on a whim : Even Aegon the Conqueror was reluctant to commit all of his dragons to a single battle , for fear that they might be overwhelmed by greater numbers . Thus , Aegon took a calculated risk when he unleashed all three of his dragons for the first and only time at the Field of Fire , the battle which secured his conquest . Intelligence Dragons are very intelligent creatures - at times seeming to approach human levels of intelligence and emotion - but they never specifically display it : Dragons ca n ' t physically talk , and although they can understand voice commands from humans , this is no more than what a dog or a horse can do . Rather , dragons appear to have some sort of higher , unnatural level of intelligence ; they seem to be more in tune with " magic " ( or " fate " or " nature " ) than humans are , and possess a sense of mental awareness that humans do not . Somehow , they are often able to sense when the human rider they are bonded with needs them ( something hinted at in the Season 5 episode " The Dance of Dragons " , when Drogon arrives seemingly out of the blue to rescue Daenerys ) . Historians in have frequently lamented that men could never truly understand the mind of a dragon , and that sometimes dragons took certain actions for inscrutable reasons . Training While the specific methods used in training them are not widely known at the time of the novels ( such information was nearly all lost in the Doom of Valyria ) , it has long been believed that only those who possess Valyrian blood ( such as the Targaryens ) can bond with and ride dragons . This may be for the simple reason that the Valyrians were the first to accomplish this feat , and dragons do seem to be inherently friendlier around people with at least some Valyrian blood . During the Dance of the Dragons , for example , Rhaenyra Targaryen had many dragons at her disposal but not enough allies able to ride them . Therefore , she sought out any surviving Targaryen bastards in the hope that their partial Valyrian descent would enable them to bond with the dragons ( which some were able to do , but not others ) . The dragonlords of Old Valyria were known to control their mounts with whips , binding spells , and sorcerous horns . Euron Greyjoy claims to have such a horn , which he calls " Dragonbinder " . He has given it to his brother Victarion for " binding " Daenerys ' s dragons , but it has not been put to test yet . History The Valyrians first discovered dragons nesting in the warmth of the Fourteen Fires – a chain of volcanoes on the Valyrian Peninsula – but it is not known for certain where dragons originated . The World of Ice & Fire sourcebook mentions that cultures throughout the known world each have their own legends regarding the origins of dragons . Also , ancient dragon bones have been found in such far - flung places as the island of Ib and on the continent of Sothoryos , where the Valyrians never established a significant foothold . Other than Valyria itself , the only plausible origin site for dragons within the known world is Asshai and the surrounding Shadow Lands ; dragon bones and petrified dragon eggs are frequently found there , and the inhabitants claim that dragons existed in the region since before Valyria was founded ( Asshai also claims to be the oldest city in the world , but no one can confirm or deny this ) . The question is further complicated by the fact that multiple " species " of dragons exist - or are said to exist - in different regions of the known world , and there is no evidence to confirm or deny that these species are in any way related to each ice dragons in far northerly reaches of the Shivering Sea ; and the deepest regions of the Sunset Sea are said to be home to enormous sea dragons , such as Nagga in the stories of the ironborn . There is also the possibility that dragons did not originate in any currently explored region of the known world . Whatever the case , the Valyrians were the first people whose interaction with dragons can be historically confirmed , and they succeeded in harnessing the power of dragons as no one else had or ever did . During the conquest of the Rhoynar , the Valyrian Freehold commanded at least 300 dragons and their riders It is not known how many dragons the Freehold possessed in its final years , but the only ones known to have survived the Doom of Valyria were those belonging to House Targaryen , who later used them to conquer the Seven Kingdoms . The Targaryens kept dragons in Westeros for approximately 150 years , roughly half of their dynasty . After the dragons died , their preserved skulls were put on display in the Red Keep . Tyrion states that there are nineteen skulls in all , which for a time led to the misconception that there were only ever nineteen Targaryen dragons - however , Tyrion also says that the oldest skull is three thousand years old : The oldest Targaryen dragon was Balerion , who hatched over four hundred years ago and died after living for about two centuries . Thus the nineteen skulls were never an accurate count of all the Targaryen dragons , and the Targaryens apparently acquired several skulls from . According to information from Martin ' s other writings , there were at least 2 4 Targaryen dragons throughout the dynasty ’ s history ( and possibly a few more ) . Twenty dragons were alive during the Dance of the Dragons ( of which three were hatchlings too small to ride ) , and several hatchlings died young in the generations prior to the Dance , never having riders . Most of the Targaryen dragons were killed in the Dance , which occurred 130 years after the Targaryen Conquest ( 150 years before Robert ' s Rebellion ) . Martin ’ s short story The Princess and the Queen confirmed that twenty dragons were alive at the beginning of the Dance : Rhaenyra ' s faction based at had fourteen dragons ( of which one was a hatchling ) , while Aegon II ' s faction at King ' s Landing had only six ( of which two were hatchlings , but one of the others was the massive Vhagar ) . Only three dragons survived the Dance , all of them left riderless , though another one hatched late in the war . Of Aegon ' s original three dragons , Meraxes was killed in Dorne during Aegon ' s invasion , Balerion died in the peaceful reign of King Jaehaerys I , just under a hundred years after the Conquest , and Vhagar was killed in the Dance of Dragons . The few surviving dragons after the Dance were weak and sickly , with the last dragon ( a stunted creature not much bigger than a large dog ) dying during the reign of Aegon III Targaryen , the Dragonbane , only 22 years after the end of the Dance . The last dragons left behind several eggs , which never hatched . These eggs were later destroyed or lost to the vagaries of history . As a result , dragons are now considered to be extinct . Trivia The method for dragons to breathe fire in this series is likely to be based on what was firstly brought in the SF movie " Reign of Fire " ( 2002 ) , so did Harry Potter movies and other medias such as " Gods of Egypt " ( 2016 ) followed it .

He is a successful DJ , having performed alongside acts such as the Scissor Sisters and worked as far afield as South Africa and Australia Contents show Working on Game of Thrones Game of Thrones marks Nairn ' s first major acting role . He plays the role of Hodor , and announced his casting via Twitter on 22 June 2010 . He initially appeared as a guest star in the first season and returned in this role for the second third and fourth seasons . Hodor does not have a large scar on his right temple in the books . This was added by the TV series ' s makeup department to hide a tattoo possessed by Kristian Nairn . When asked if it was difficult to express a range of emotions when playing a character who can only speak a single word , Kristian responded : " Unlike in the book , where Hodor ' s emotions are portrayed by a combination of the single word , the situation , and the reader ' s imagination , I have a very powerful medium to use as well : my body language . I was partially deaf when I was a child , and often in school , before I was fixed , I had to read context and emotions from people ' s faces and body language . That ' s also a huge part of sign language , and my knowledge of that ( although In an interview with Yahoo News Australia in September 2014 , when asked how he approached playing such an innocent character on a show filled with evil , dark , and violent themes , Nairn responded that he drew from real life experience , having already lived through dark periods surrounded by violence , growing up in Northern Ireland in the 1980 ' s during the Troubles : It does n ' t shock me , I grew up in Northern Ireland , Belfast . . .I ' ve seen some really shocking things in my life . There was a college in the middle of Belfast and every week , every week , there ' d be an evacuation with a bomb , or else it would actually go off , and it ' d just be a matter of fact that you ' d be blown out of your desk or you ' d be lying on the floor . . .You sort of grew up Personal Life Nairn is a fan of the Yogscast podcasting series , which he appeared on for a lengthy interview in their 37th episode . Nairn publicly came out as gay just before Season 4 premiered , in a fansite interview . As he explained , it might be a bit drastic to say he " came out " because he never hid it from those around him , he just never had an opportunity to mention it in the news media : Question : " I have some friends in the gay community , " bears " as they ’ re wont to call themselves , who hold you on a pretty high pedestal . One good friend of mine ( I ' ve known since we were in the 5th grade together ) says your bear following is " extensive . " Is this something you ' re aware of ? Kristian : " Well , in all honesty , when you talk about " the gay community , " you are talking about MY community , haha . I AM aware of it yeah , and I think it ’ s really lovely . There ' s not a day that I do n ’ t get a few messages , but 99 % or more are super sweet and nothing smutty at all ! Again , it ' s a privilege , and I really mean that . I ' ve never hidden my sexuality from anyone , my whole life in fact , and I ' ve been waiting for someone to ask about it in an interview , cos it ' s not something you Question : " Seeing as how some people might react negatively to it , did most of the cast and crew have an understanding of it ? Or was it just never really brought up ? " Kristian : " I had an upbringing to respect other people ' s privacy , and their right to be and choose what they want , and I expect , no , demand no less for myself . It ' s a very small part of who I am on the whole , but nonetheless , in this day and age , it ' s important to stand up and be counted . I have and always will stand my ground . So , yeah , people have been great , on the show , but I do n ' In a followup interview Nairn also said : " I do n ' t want to get married – but I want my friends , who it ' s important to , to be able to get married . And why not ? " In an interview with Yahoo News Australia in September 2014 , Nairn explained that he used to be a drag artist before he became a DJ : " When I was 13 my mum knew that I was gay and she just always knew . . .I used to play Wonder Woman with her when I was a kid and I was always Wonder Woman ( I always stopped short of the outfit , thank God ) . . .I actually started off - believe it or not - doing drag , I travelled the world because I was a completely off the wall drag artist . . .It was n ' t feminine , it was just Marilyn Manson meets Divine meets some sort of monster Game Of Thrones . . . Remarking on the media reaction when he publicly revealed that he was gay at the beginning of Season 4 , Nairn said : " It was interesting to me that the world seemed to care after that . . .I ' ve never given a damn .

The Bear and the Maiden Fair Season 3 Episode 7 Air date May 12 , 2013 Runtime 57 minutes Written by George R.R. Martin Directed by Michelle MacLaren Episode Guide Previous Next The Climb Second Sons The Bear and the Maiden Fair " is the seventh episode of the third season of Game of Thrones . It is the twenty - seventh episode of the series overall . It premiered on May 12 , 2013 . It was written by George R.R. Martin and directed by Michelle MacLaren Contents show Plot Dany exchanges gifts with a slave lord outside of Yunkai . As Sansa frets about her prospects Shae chafes at Tyrion ' s new situation Tywin counsels the king , and Melisandre reveals a secret to Gendry Brienne faces a formidable foe in Harrenhal Summary In the North Jon and Ygritte make their way to Castle Black . After surviving the perilous climb of the Wall Jon Snow Ygritte , and the wildlings led by Tormund Giantsbane make their way towards Castle Black to await Mance Rayder ' s signal to begin the attack on the Night ' s Watch . Afterwards Jon confronts Orell about cutting his and Ygritte ' s rope loose on The Wall , nearly killing the both of them in the process . Orell tells Jon that he does n ' t see Ygritte complaining about what happened because she is a wildling and understood what needed to be done in a pressure situation , also telling Jon that this is the reason he will never be able to keep her . During the journey through the woods , a clearly jealous Orell confronts Ygritte and says that he would be a better man for her than Jon Snow , while continuing to express his distrust in Jon . Jon also tries to persuade Ygritte that the wildlings ' cause is doomed to failure , reminding her that six Kings - Beyond - the - Wall have attacked the southern lands in the past thousand years and all have been repelled . Ygritte refuses to listen and points out that Jon is technically one of them ; if it fails , so does he . She renews her passion for him and tells him bluntly that if they die , they die , but before they die they will live in each other . At his prison , Theon Greyjoy is released from the cross to which he is chained by two beautiful girls . The women lay Theon down on a bed and then proceed to dramatically seduce him . They say repeatedly that they have heard that the heir to Pyke is well endowed and are hoping to get first hand experience . Theon is distrustful at first , fearing that this is another of his tormenter ' s tricks . Theon can not help himself but be aroused when one of the women who has become naked straddles him and begins a rocking motion . Suddenly , boy enters . Theon is terrified and tries to escape , but is struck hard on the head and is flung to the ground . The boy claims he too has heard about Theon ' s famous body part and announces it must very well be his favorite body part . When the sadistic youth brandishes an odd knife , Theon realizes the boy means to remove his penis . Horrified , Theon begs for mercy , but the boy quips that this is mercy as he ' s not killing Theon , merely altering him . Two large men hold In The North , on their way to the Wall , Bran Stark ' s party makes camp . Osha remains distrustful of Meera and Jojen Reed and reacts with horror when they mention they intend to go beyond the Wall . Osha bluntly refuses to go , explaining that she lost her husband , who then rose from the dead and tried to kill her . She rages that none of them understand what lies beyond the Wall and that there is nothing left for men there . In Yunkai Daenerys Targaryen ' s army marches on to the next great city of Slaver ' s Bay Yunkai . She and Barristan Selmy are confident they can take the city , given that Yunkai are famous for training bed slaves rather than soldiers . Ser Jorah notes with wisdom however that Yunkai ' s defenders wo n ' t fight them in open battle , being more likely to hole up behind their walls and chip away at the Targaryen army through guerrilla tactics . He also advises Daenerys that conquering Yunkai does not help them with their main goal of pressing on to retake Westeros . Dany however is adamant on freeing the slaves of Yunkai , who number in the hundreds of thousands . She orders Grey Worm to send a messenger to the city and inform Yunkai ' s slaver rulers that they must either surrender or suffer the same fate as Astapor Daenerys meets with Razdal . The Yunkish herald is carried into Daenerys ' s camp on a litter carried by slaves , along a road flanked by Unsullied Missandei announces the newcomer as Razdal mo Eraz , one of the ruling " Wise Masters " of Yunkai . Daenerys meets the man in her pavilion , flanked by her dragons who vie for her attention and fight over the pieces of meat she tosses to them ; they also snarl at Razdal when he gets too close . Razdal declares that Yunkai was an ancient civilization long before the rise of Valyria and that numerous armies throughout history have tried and failed to conquer it . However Daenerys is not threatened , commenting that a hard - fought battle would give her Unsullied much needed practice . Razdal tries a different tact , asserting there is no need for their factions to fight , that Yunkai is willing to overlook her attack on Astapor and will even provide her with the gold and ships needed to transport her army to Westeros . In exchange , they ask that Daenerys leave Yunkai in peace . Daenerys makes a counter - offer : she will spare the lives of Razdal and the slave - masters of Yunkai if every slave ( men , women and children ) in the city is set free , and given as much food , clothing and property as they can carry in payment for their services . She warns that if her offer is rejected , Yunkai will be shown no mercy . Razdal takes offense , promising that Yunkai will be more of a challenge for her than Astapor or Qarth , and threatens her with the retribution of Yunkai ' s " powerful friends " who he claims will take great pleasure in destroying her army and enslaving the survivors . At that , Drogon and his siblings roar in anger ; Razdal protests that he was promised safe conduct , to which Daenerys counters that her dragons made no such promise and take offense to him threatening their mother . After the dragons prevent his slaves from reclaiming the chests of gold he brought with him , Razdal storms out of the pavilion , muttering curses . Daenerys tells Jorah to find out more about Yunkai ' s " powerful friends " before she commits herself to an attack on the city . On the Narrow Sea Traveling back from the Riverlands , a ship carrying Melisandre and Gendry leaves King ' s Landing and passes through Blackwater Bay . Melisandre stares at the broken wrecks of Stannis ' s fleet destroyed by the wildfire , asserting that her presence might have turned the tide of battle . She questions Gendry and is surprised to learn he is unaware of his father ' s real identity . As they pass by the Red Keep , Melisandre reveals to Gendry that he is King Robert Baratheon ' s bastard son . In the Riverlands Arya begins to hate the Brotherhood . At the camp of the Brotherhood Without Banners Arya , disillusioned with the Brotherhood for selling Gendry , takes an opportunity to escape and runs off into the night . Before she gets too far , however , she is snatched up by Sandor Clegane , who was lying in wait for her . In the Riverlands , en route to The Twins Robb Stark ' s army is forced to make camp , their progress delayed by heavy rain . Catelyn warns them that the prickly Lord Walder Frey will take the delay as a deliberate insult to him , but Edmure Tully points out that Frey is getting the wedding he wanted ; his sister counters that he is getting a wedding , but not the one he wanted , glaring at her son and his wife as she says so , pointing out that Frey wanted one of his daughters wed to a king . Robb retorts that Edmure is the best match House Frey has been offered in its history . Later that night , as Robb and Talisa prepare for bed , she tells him she is pregnant with his child . Robb is gladdened by the news . In King ' s Landing At King ' s Landing , neither Sansa or Tyrion are particularly happy about their impending marriage . Margaery Tyrell consoles Sansa , reminding her that Tyrion is far from the worst Lannister and that Tyrion might be able to make her happy , given his skill as a lover . Bronn , meanwhile , points out to Tyrion that he can easily wed Sansa and get a son and heir from her to placate his father and keep having sex with Shae in private , thereby getting two women and a kingdom to rule for himself . However , Tyrion is concerned his mistress is n ' t going to be so willing to go along with that plan and is less than enthusiastic about having a wife , a mistress and the entire North despising him . Bronn points out that Tyrion is wasting his time trying to be universally loved . Tyrion ' s fears prove accurate as Shae bluntly tells him that she will no longer sleep with him after he weds Sansa . Tywin confronts Joffrey . Meanwhile , Tywin Lannister enters the throne room to answer a summons from King Joffrey . After exchanging some false courtesy Tywin asks why his grandson wished to see him . Joffrey wants an update on what the Small Council has been doing . Tywin informs Joffrey that the king can attend any Small Council meeting should he desire it . The boy king claims that he is too busy to attend said meetings and demands to know why the location of the council meetings has changed . Tywin says that he is holding the meeting in the Tower of the Hand to save time . When Joffrey complains that he would have to climb too many steps should he wish to sit in on a small council meeting , Tywin silently ascends the steps to stand next to the throne , silently glares down at Joffrey , and then sardonically says he could arrange to have Joffrey carried . A disconcerted Joffrey changes the subject to Daenerys Targaryen ; Tywin is surprised that Joffrey even knows about the exiled princess . Tywin admits the reports are apparently true that the last Targaryen is not only alive , but has successfully hatched the first live dragons the world has seen in almost two centuries . Joffrey is puzzled at why Tywin does n ' t think they should do anything about her , but Tywin reminds Joffrey that the last Targaryen dragons were stunted inbred creatures who were n ' t a threat to anyone , and Daenerys ' dragons are probably just curiosities at best , not grand weapons of war . Moreover , Tywin says that even if Daenerys ' dragons do turn out to be as strong as the dragons of centuries long ago , they are on the far side of the world and no threat to Joffrey ' s rule . Tywin also warns his grandson that he should heed his advisor ' s council on matters he does not comprehend . When Joffrey protests that he has n ' t been counseled on anything , Tywin says he is being advised at this very moment and says that he will inform Joffrey should he deem it necessary . Before taking his leave Tywin smiles slightly with an even slighter bow leaving a browbeaten Joffrey squirming on the Iron Throne . Their exchange leaves no doubt as to who is really ruling the kingdom . At Harrenhal At Harrenhal Jaime speaks one last time to Brienne before he leaves . Jaime remarks that he owes Brienne a debt for both keeping him alive on their journey and for giving him a reason to live to rouse him from his suicidal depression after losing his hand . Brienne tells Jaime to repay his debt by keeping his pledge . Jaime promises that he will keep his word to return Catelyn Stark ' s daughters to her . The next day , Jaime leaves Harrenhal in the company of Qyburn ( who is to accompany Jaime to continue treating his arm in the hopes of getting his Maester ' s chain restored through Lord Tywin ' s influence - Jaime jokes that his father will make Qyburn Grand Maester if he grows Jaime a new hand ) and a number of Bolton soldiers under the command of Steelshanks , one of Lord Bolton ' s captains . Lord Roose Bolton , who is also about to depart Harrenhal for the Twins , under orders from Robb Stark , requests that Jaime pass on his regards to Tywin ; Jaime asks that Bolton do the same for him with Robb . Locke , who has been left in charge of the castle in Bolton ' s absence , ca n ' t resist poking fun at the departing Jaime and sneers that he will ' take good care ' of Brienne , though Jaime does n ' t rise to the bait . When their party makes camp , as Qyburn checks Jaime ' s stump , Jaime questions how the former Maester lost his chain . Qyburn explains that he lost it for performing vivisections on the sick and dying in a bid to better understand illness . Jaime is disgusted by this revelation , but Qyburn counters what he learned has saved numerous more lives and questions Jaime on how many he has killed compared to how many he ' s saved . Jaime responds that he has probably killed thousands , but he saved half a million lives when he King ' s Landing , much to Qyburn ' s surprise . Jaime then asks about Brienne ; Qyburn confirms that they sent a raven to her father , Lord Selwyn Tarth , and he offered a ransom of 300 Gold Dragons for his daughter ' s safe return . However , Locke refused the offer ; still under the misapprehension that Tarth owns every sapphire mine in Westeros , Locke is convinced Lord Selwyn is trying to cheat him . When Qyburn mentions that most of the men would rather get some meager entertainment out of killing Brienne before they die in battle or winter , Jaime , feeling guilty because his lie to protect Brienne has invertantly placed her in greater danger , urges Steelshanks to return to Harrenhal . Though the man initially refuses , Jaime uses the promise Brienne is thrown in the bear pit . Upon arriving at Harrenhal , Jaime is shocked and furious to find Locke and his cronies have thrown Brienne into a bear pit , facing an angry bear with only a wooden sword to defend herself , as they all mockingly sing . Jaime orders Locke to pull her out and offers to pay whatever ransom he wants , but Locke dismisses the offer , getting more satisfaction out of the spectacle of Brienne being torn apart . In desperation , Jaime leaps into the pit to help her ; before the bear can harm either of them , Steelshanks shoots it with a crossbow , distracting the beast long enough for Jaime and Brienne to be pulled out of the pit . Locke tries to stop them from leaving , but Jaime angrily tells him that Lord Bolton cares more about Appearances Main : The Bear and the Maiden Fair ( episode ) / Appearances First Razdal mo Eraz Myranda Violet Steelshanks Ser Balon Swann Production Cast Starring Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister Nikolaj Coster - Waldau as Ser Jaime Lannister Emilia Clarke as Queen Kit Harington as Jon Snow Richard Madden as King Robb Stark Iain Glen as Ser Jorah Mormont Michelle Fairley as Lady Catelyn Stark Charles Dance as Lord Tywin Lannister Natalie Dormer as Lady Margaery Tyrell Carice van Houten Isaac Hempstead - Wright as Prince Bran Stark Sophie Turner as Princess Sansa Stark Maisie Williams as Princess Arya Stark Alfie Allen as Prince Theon Greyjoy Oona Chaplin as Queen Talisa Stark Jack Gleeson as King Joffrey Baratheon Joe Dempsie Sibel Kekilli Rose Leslie Ygritte Jerome Flynn Bronn Rory McCann Sandor Clegane Guest starring Mackenzie Crook Orell Gwendoline Christie Brienne of Tarth Richard Dormer as Lord Beric Dondarrion Paul Kaye Thoros of Myr Noah Taylor Locke Natalia Tena Osha Anton Lesser Qyburn Michael McElhatton Roose Bolton Clive Russell Brynden Tully Tobias Menzies Edmure Tully Ian McElhinney Barristan Selmy Iwan Rheon Ramsay Snow Kristofer Hivju Tormund Giantsbane Thomas Brodie - Sangster Jojen Reed Ellie Kendrick Meera Reed Nathalie Emmanuel Missandei Jacob Anderson Grey Worm Kristian Nairn Hodor Philip McGinley Anguy George Georgiou Jamie Michie Charlotte Hope Myranda Stephanie Blacker Violet Art Parkinson Rickon Stark Animal Performer Bart the Bear as the eponymous bear .

Neil Finnighan Jozsef Fodor David Forman Paul Herbert Ben Mahoney Philip McClean Michelle McKeown Domonkos Pardanyi Curtis Rivers Doug Seus C.C. Smiff Scott Smith Melissa Stubs and Mike Vézina were stunt performers in this episode . Notes The title of the episode comes from , a popular song in Westeros This episode was originally announced by George R.R. Martin on his blog in 2012 , almost a year ahead of transmission . The original planned title was " Autumn Storms . " In January 2013 he announced that the title had been changed to " Chains . " However , due to scenes from another episode being moved into it , it was decided to retitle the episode to " The Bear and the Maiden Fair . " Thus Martin himself did n ' t write the scenes that include the bear ( which all occur in one big chunk Parts of this episode were filmed in Los Angeles , USA , because they involve a live actor - bear ( named Bart the Bear ) and there are various legal restrictions on international transport of large animals such as bears As director explained , she chose Bart out of three potential stunt - bears : one from Utah ( Bart ) , one from Canada , and one from Europe . Bart was then flown from Utah to California , where a partial duplicate of the bear pit set at was built in a Los Angeles studio parking lot . Just the pit part was built : the extras crowded around the top of the pit were filmed on the full set in Northern Ireland . Gwendoline Christie Brienne of Tarth ) and Nikolaj Coster - Waldau Jaime Lannister ) were the only cast members flown out to Los Angeles , to film on - set with the bear . The footage from within the pit was then digitally married with the footage of the extras crowded around the top on the duplicate set . Christie explained that she was actually with Bart the bear in the pit , though in real life the crew was being friendly to the bear and saying encouraging things to keep him calm . Christie said that she did every stunt in the bear pit - except for one , when she has to pretend that the bear is hitting her . A stunt double was used for that specific , brief shot , though in real life Bart was just playfully pawing at the stunt man . Due to wear and tear from all the stunt work in the bear pit scene , the costume team actually had to make six identical copies of Brienne ' s dress ( once it gets very badly torn , for continuity reasons , they ca n ' t just stitch the original back up ) . This is the third episode to raise the issue of Margaery Tyrell ' s ambiguous virginity . The first was " What Is Dead May Never Die , " where Renly Baratheon said he doubted Margaery was actually a virgin . The second was in " Dark Wings , Dark Words , " where Cersei got Joffrey to confront Margaery about her childless marriage to Renly . In the first case , Loras Tyrell stated she was officially a virgin , and in the second , Margaery used Renly ' s homosexuality as a defense . In this episode , Margaery uses Sansa ' s own words to deflect the conversation . Her virginity is similarly an ambiguous matter in the books . Margaery tells Sansa " my mother taught me " . This is the only reference in the show to Alerie Tyrell ( without actually mentioning her name ) . This episode marks the first time that has had a significant scene with his grandson King Joffrey Baratheon . They did previously appear together in the Season 2 finale , but that was a public ceremony in which everyone was reciting pre - scripted lines to each other . This marks the first time that Joffrey and Tywin have actually interacted in person - this is somewhat indicated within the story itself , as Joffrey has summoned Tywin to complain that he ' s leaving him out of Small Council meetings . This episode also indicates that a new member of the Kingsguard has been appointed to fill the vacancy left by the death of Ser Mandon Moore and the desertion of - which had left only three living Kingsguard in the Red Keep : Ser Meryn Trant , Ser Boros Blount , and an unnamed Kinsguard this wiki identifies as Ser Preston Greenfield - as no Kingsguard is seen dying in the Riot of King ' s Landing it is also assumed Ser Preston survives , unlike his book counterpart . This wiki will assume the fourth Kingsguard is Ser Balon Swann as this character has the least impact in the book plot as of A Storm of Swords Word has finally reached the highest levels of the Red Keep that has hatched three live dragons in the distant east of Essos Varys has been aware of this for several months , and mentioned it to in " The Prince of Winterfell , " but they decided to focus on the impending Battle of the Blackwater . Tywin was probably notified about the dragons by Varys , but Joffrey must have heard it somewhere else . Actual dead rabbits , not props , were used in the scene where Osha and Meera are arguing over skinning rabbits they ' ve caught . As the cast members have explained , they actually had to film numerous takes of this scene , which meant that they had to skin a new dead rabbit every time . They ended up spending much of the day with their hands covered in raw rabbit blood and guts . Viserys previously described the dragon skulls kept in the throne room when he was having sex with Doreah in " Cripples , Bastards and Broken Things " - except in that episode , Viserys said that the dragon skulls were arranged so that they got progressively bigger as they got closer to the Iron Throne , while in this episode , Tywin says that the smallest skulls were near the Iron Throne and the largest were on the far side of the room . Viserys ( and the books ) said that the skull of the smallest one was n ' t much bigger than that of a dog ' s skull , but Tywin says the smallest was the size of an apple . Tywin was probably exaggerating . Joffrey points out that the biggest skull was the size of a carriage : when Arya stumbled upon a stored dragon skull while wandering the The Wolf and the Lion , " it was indeed bigger than a carriage . The largest dragons were said to be easily capable of swallowing a horse whole . mentions that Tyrion was once married to a whore , and this did n ' t work out well for him . Tyrion says he regrets telling him about that - Tyrion told Bronn ( and Shae ) about his first marriage to Tysha Baelor . " Talisa states in Robb Stark ' s army camp as he leaves Riverrun for the Twins that the War of the Five Kings has lasted two years now . This reinforces the general principle that one TV season equals one year within the story continuity . Talisa reveals she is pregnant with the heir to the North . This is a departure from the books : Robb ' s wife Jeyne Westerling did not conceive a child prior to Edmure ' s wedding . In the DVD commentary , George R.R. Martin explains that he did n ' t write any of the scenes with Theon Greyjoy and Ramsay Snow in this episode ( in which Ramsay emasculates Theon ) . The novels did n ' t state that Ramsay cut off Theon ' s genitals , though it was vaguely implied that he had . Theon being emasculated in this episode is foreshadowed in the Season 2 episode " A Man Without Honor " , in which Theon says " I ' m looking at spending the rest of my life being treated like a fool and a eunuch by my own people . " Interestingly enough , both are the seventh episodes of their respective seasons . It is the second episode in the series in which no actual characters have died , following " Lord Snow " . Jaime tells Qyburn he saved half a million people - the population of King ' s Landing . Given that sixteen years passed since that day , the city population might have increased , thus that number is currently inaccurate . In " A Storm of Swords " , Tyrion tells Oberyn Martell there are half a million people in King ' s Landing , referring to the present population .

In addition , the network was even promoted heavily by legendary game show host Wink Martindale . According to an issue of Broadcasting & Cable magazine ( originally release on May 11 , 1992 ) , the network was originally set to launch on June 1 , 1994 which ultimately never happened later on .

You can only enter one friend code on your account to get 25 free gems , but your friend code can be used by an unlimited amount of other users , and you ’ ll not only get free gems when they first use it , you ’ ll get more when they level up as well . To redeem a friend code , tap Social button , then tap the Redeem Code button . Type in a valid social code and press OK . If a valid code is entered it will give you a message that it worked , and you should find your gems in the Gifts tab . To figure out your friend code , tap the Social button and tap Invite Friends . You ’ ll see your friend code at the top of the screen . Post your friend code on facebook , in facebook fan pages , on forums , on twitter , anywhere you can think of that DragonVale fans might hang out . Looking for a friend code to use ? Redeem my friend code for 25 free gems : 95522815 Entering my friend code will help me get some gems for rushing combinations for new dragons , so every little bit helps me help you ! Free Gems from Gifting One of the easiest ways to get free gems in the game is by gifting . Every day you can send three gems to friends , and in turn they can send them back to you . If you have a circle of friends that understand how hard it is to get gems , then hopefully they ’ ll send them back to you every day . A good way to make this work is to coordinate with a few friends that you know personally . Set it up so that every day you send your gems to the same people , and they send them back to you , so you ’ re essentially guaranteed to get gems on a daily basis . Look down in the comments below for people leaving their GameCenter ID for adding friends . Leave your ID there as well to have people add you ! Check out my other article if you need help adding friends to DragonVale More Free Gems from the Dragonsai Gem Tree You may have seen the Dragonsai Gem Tree before , but did n ’ t know what it did . The Dragonsai Gem Tree makes it possible to gift three more gems per day , which in turn gives you the chance to receive more per day as returned gifts . If you took the idea from the last section and had 6 other close friends all with the Dragonsai Gem Tree , then you would essentially be guaranteed to get at least 6 gems gifted to you every day . The only draw back to this is that the tree costs 100 gems to purchase , but it may be worth it in the long run . Free Gems from the Colosseum If you put a dragon in the Colosseum every day , you get a chance to win some free gems , some coins , and a fair amount of XP as well . Winning a sliver medal nets you two gems , and winning the gold medal nets you five gems , so those can add up quickly . Winning different trophies is pretty random , since the same dragon can win a gold one day , and a bronze the next , but it ’ s still worth it to do the colosseum every day for your chance at some free gems . Free Gems from Gemstone Dragons Gemstone Dragons are dragons that provide you with gems instead of gold . The catch though is that you can only breed up to two kinds of Gemstone Dragons in any given month , and they ca n ’ t breed at all , so they are fairly limited however it ’ s still a valid technique if you manage to breed some over time .

http://gametipcenter.com/pokemon-x-and-y-how-to-beat-the-elite-four-and-champion-diantha | Pokemon X and Y – How to Beat the Elite Four and Champion Diantha Oct 31 , 2013 | Posted by Caleb Cox | 3DS Follow me on my new Twitch Channel , and join me on November 3rd 2018 for my Charity Stream for Extra Life ! Anything you ' re able to donate will help sick kids and their families . In Pokemon X and Y , just like in the previous games , the Elite Four are the best four Trainers in Kalos Region . They can be accessed in the Pokemon League to the east of Santalune City , however you will need to collect all eight Badges before you can reach them . The game allows you take on the Elite Four in any given order and have a re - match at any given time . These four Trainers are : Malva ( Fire - Type ) Wikstorm ( Steel - Type ) Drasna ( Dragon - Type ) Siebold ( Water - Type ) After defeating the Elite Four you can take on the Champion Diantha , which we ’ ll talk about near the end of this guide . Malva ( Fire - Type ) Malva will be in the top - right option that uses Fire - Type Pokemon . Pyroar ( Fire / Normal ) ( Level 63 ) How to beat Pyroar : Its main threat is as a debuffer with Noble Roar which will greatly lower your pokemon ’ s attack and SP . Just use a Water or Fighting - Type to beat Pyroar . Rivalry It increases the Basic Attacks and Special Attacks damage by 50 % if the opponent is of same gender and decreases it by 25 % if it is of different gender . Unnerve It will NOT allow opponent Pokemon to use their Berry while the battle is going on . Torkoal ( Fire ) ( Level 63 ) How to beat Torkoal : Again , a Water - Type pokemon should be used for this fight , try to end this fight quickly because Torkoal can greatly damage pokemon regardless of type . Its Curse power up and Earthquake combo will flatten just about anything if you let it get that far . It has Base Happiness of 70 and Experience Growth of 1,000,000 Points . The abilities at its disposal are : White Smoke The abilities which slow down this Pokemon ’ s abilities have no effect anymore . Shell Armor Enemies will NOT be able to deliver Critical Hits . Chandelure ( Fire / Ghost ) ( Level 63 ) How to beat Chandelure : Again speed is the name of the game , a Water - Type is highly recommended due to Chandelures high Sp . Attack stat , devastating move list and stab damage so you can beat him before he can unleash moves like Flamethrower and Shadow Ball . Flash Fire This increases the damage of Fire - Type Attacks by 1.5 times and makes it immune to all Fire - Type abilities . Flame Body This will allow you to have 30 % increased chances of inducing enemies with BURN while using an attack . Shadow Tag This ability will allow you to trap a Pokémon . The enemy Pokémon will NOT be able to switch or evade the area . Talonflame ( Fire / Flying ) ( Level 65 ) How to beat Talonflame : This pokemon uses a move called Brave Bird to sacrifice a little of its life to destroy yours . To counteract this I would suggest using a Rock - Type with a high health stat to rebuff the effects of Brave Bird and to Stone Edge Talonflame to death . Flame Body This will allow you to have 30 % increased chances of inducing enemies with BURN while using an attack . Wikstorm ( Steel - Type ) Wikstorm uses Steel - Type Pokemon . You can find him in the top - left option . His Pokemon include : Klefki ( Steel / Fairy ) ( Level 63 ) How to beat Klefki : Watch out if you ’ re using an ice or fairy type move because of its Flash Cannon will really hurt you other than that just use a firetype or anything that can cut through steel like water and you got him beat . Prankster Speed Priority of Status category is enhanced by 1 . Probopass ( Steel / Rock ) ( Level 63 ) How to beat Probopass : A strange pokemon to be sure , the hardest part of this battle is finding a pokemon that wo n ’ t be pummeled by Probopass ’ s moves again though a Water - Type will be your best bet . Sturdy Sturdy makes this Pokémon immune from the One Hit Knock Out attacks . Magnet Pull This ability restricts the ability of Steel - Type Pokémon of running and switching . Sand Force The power of Ground - Type , Rock - Type , and Steel - Type is increased by 33 % . Scizor ( Steel / Bug ) ( Level 63 ) How to beat Scizor : A very fast and strong pokemon also watch out for Bullet Punch which will always go first . With a pretty low special defense it will be easily beaten by a fire type . Swarm The power is increased when this Pokémon is running low on HP . Technician This allows the movement with a Base Power of 60 . Light Metal This allows the weight reduction by 50 % . Aegislash ( Steel / Ghost ) ( Level 65 ) How to beat Aegislash : This Pokemon has a defensive and offensive stance but always starts in its defensive stance , the main goal of this fight is goading Aegislash into turning into its offensive form which can be easily beaten by anything except Normal or Fighting Types . The only ability at this Pokemon ’ s disposal is that it is able to change itself depending upon the situation of the battle . Drasna ( Dragon - Type ) This woman is the bottom - left option and uses Dragon - Type Pokemon during her battles . Dragalge ( Dragon / Poison ) ( Level 63 ) How to beat Dragalge : A mostly offensive pokemon , Ground or Dragon types will have the best time with Dragalge just watch out for its Dragon Pulse and Thunderbolt . Poison Point This ability allows you character to induce the enemy with Poison by 30 % . Poison Touch Melee Attacks have 20 % more chances of injecting Poison in the enemies . Altaria ( Dragon / Flying ) ( Level 63 ) How to beat Altaria : Has a move called Sing which has a 50 / 50 chance to put your pokemon to sleep . Other than that all you have to do is use a couple ice moves to beat Altaria down . Natural Cure Statuses like Sleep , Poison , and Freeze are cured with this ability . Cloud Nine It renders all the weather effects useless . Druddigon ( Dragon ) ( Level 63 ) How to beat Druddigon : A monster when it comes to destructive power , it will use physical attacks to stomp on your pokemon with the move Revenge .

Infiltrator The protections and stat boosts by the enemies are useless . Siebold ( Water - Type ) Siebold is the bottom - right option and uses Water - Type Pokémon during the battles . Clawitzer ( Water ) ( Level 63 ) How to beat Clawitzer : A pretty straight forward pokemon but a Water / Dragon Type so Dragons should do well . Mega Launcher The power of Pulse Attacks is increased greatly . Starmie ( Water / Psychic ) ( Level 63 ) How to beat Starmie : A very fast pokemon that loves to use Surf and Light screen to debuff you . Dark - Types are best but anything that can resist water and has a lot of hp will work . Illuminate Your Pokemon will have more chances of meeting wild Pokemon . Natural Cure Statuses like Sleep , Poison , and Freeze are cured with this ability . Analytic This ability allows your Pokemon to increase by 30 % . Gyarados ( Water / Flying ) ( Level 63 ) How to beat Gyarados : This pokemon is incredibly strong and becomes stronger the more it uses Dragon Dance , I would strongly recommend using a Electric - Type to punish Gyarados before it can power up . Intimidate It decreases the enemy Attack stat by 33 % . Moxie After taking out enemy Pokemon , Attack is increased by one stage . Barbaracle ( Water / Rock ) ( Level 65 ) How to beat Barbaracle : A strong but slow pokemon , probably the easiest of the set can be beaten badly with Grass - Types but Electricity will also do well . Tough Claws Melee Attacks have improved damage . Sniper This ability enhances the power of Critical Hits three folds . Champion Diantha You will meet Diantha in a cafe in Lumiose City . She is a Pokemon League Champion and is one of the toughest opponents in Kalos . When you fight her with your Pokemon , know that she will leave Gardevoir last and it will always Mega Evolve . Hawlucha ( Fighting / Flying ) ( Level 64 ) How to beat Hawlucha : Can and will hurt you regardless of your type and will power itself up with Sword Dance but has a fairly poor Speed and Sp . Defense so Psychic and Electric Types will do good damage . Limber Pokemon can not be paralyzed while having this ability . Unburden Speed is doubled once the held item is consumed . Tyrantrum ( Dragon / Rock ) ( Level 65 ) How to beat Tyrantrum : Another high attack low defense pokemon that can be beaten fairly easily if you hit it with Ice or Fairy - Type moves early in the match . Strong Jaw It gives the Pokemon tremendous biting power . Aurorus ( Ice / Rock ) ( Level 65 ) How to beat Aurorus : As the teams buffer it will use Light Screen and reflect to strengthen itself and others , Fighting - Types should do well but make sure to use Brick Break to counter the defenses Aurorus uses . Refrigerate With this ability , normal - type moves become Ice - type moves . Gourgeist ( Ghost / Grass ) ( Level 65 ) How to beat Gourgeist : Has a very strange move called Trick or Treat that turns your pokemon into Ghost - Types and then uses Phantom Force to destroy any and all ghosts on the field . The name of the game here is speed , use fire to beat Gourgeist before he can u . se Trick or Treat Pickup With this ability , there is a 10 % chance of finding and holding an item after battle .

Hydration All status effects — Burn , Paralysis , Sleep , Frozen and Poison are healed when raining . Gardevoir ( Psychic / Fairy ) ( Level 68 ) Be aware that Gardevoir will mega - evolve into Mega Gardevoir every time you fight it , so be prepared for a tough battle . How to beat Gardevoir : This pokemon is always the last you battle and will always mega evolve so be prepared . Mega Gardevoir is strong , fast , relentless , and will destroy Dragon or Dark types with ease thanks to its Moonblast ability . Try using Steel - Types with Physical moves because of Gardevoir ’ s lacking Defense stat and you should have the win . Synchronize It transfers its status effect to its opponent however , there are some exceptions . For example , fire - type and water Veil ability Pokemon can not be Burned , Poison - type and Steel - type and Immunity ability Pokemon can not be Poisoned , and Limber ability Pokemon can not be Paralyzed . Trace With this ability , special ability becomes as that of the opponent . To restore its original ability , you will have to take the Pokemon out of the battle . In a double battle , a random opponent ’ s ability will be copied . Telepathy It ’ s a hidden ability which prevents damage from team - mates during Double and Triple battle . Rewards for Beating Elite Four and Champion Diantha Right after the game is done you will find yourself back Vaniville Town .

http://gamewise.co/games/49214/Asphalt-8-Airborne/Cheats-Tips | Asphalt 8 : Airborne - Cheats / Tips Welcome to the Asphalt 8 : Airborne Cheats and Codes and Tips page where our team of contributors will help you with a set of cheats , codes , hints , tips and unlockables . If you are stuck on something specific and are unable to find any answers on our Asphalt 8 : Airborne Cheats page then be sure to ask the Asphalt 8 : Airborne Forum / Community for help and advice in the discussion box below and they will get back to you as soon as possible with an answer ! Tips and Strategies Drifting By tapping the left side of the screen you will initiate a drift . You can control the degree by turning or tilting your device . Once you do this , level out and after a few seconds your drift will stop . The more you drift , the more boost you earn . Air Get as much air as possible . Ramps and barrel roll ramps are best for getting air and the more you get the more boost you will receive . Hit the boost button as soon as you launch off the ramp , you will speed up and the game will automatically store leftover boost power until you land . You will always land on your tires . Take Out Your Enemies Have no patience for your enemies , Gameloft has introduced a takedown system in Asphalt a few games back which allows you to wreck competitors by driving into them . It is a matter of hitting your boost at the right time and ramming into the opposition . One hit and they are done and the more you do it the more ( yes you guessed it ) boost you will earn . Nitro Icons Scattered across the tracks are icons that will give your nitro tank a quick boost . Blue ones fill your tank about a quarter of the way , while glowing yellow ones go halfway . Pick up three in succession and give yourself a full tank . If you can , pick up some extra Nitro canisters while you are in boost . This will maintain it for a little longer , which could make all the difference to scoring first place . Shortcuts There are various shortcuts in Asphalt 8 and you do n ’ t have to always follow the main track . Shortcuts are useful in three areas : They provide a shorter route than the main path , shaving precious seconds off your race time and giving you a slight lead You will find jumps that give you air time and much - needed boost energy You will find more Nitro pick - ups in these areas , which you can either use immediately or save for that last second boost towards the finish line . Boost to the Finish Line Computer - controlled drivers have a nasty habit of speeding past you right before the finish line . Ensure you have some boost left over so you can maintain your lead . Be Rewarded for your Patience Instead of buying content earlier in the game , like new season events / specific cars you can wait and eventually you can unlock the content free of charge . Save the cash for more important things . Hot Deals Check out the hot deals tab in the main menu . These offer a great selection of cars – usually 10 or so for a bargain of a price . You can use in game currency or real cash , but again things eventually open up the more you play . Hold out for the Tesla Model S and other sports cars . Improvements to Your Cars There are four main areas where you can make improvements to your vehicle . They are : Acceleration Top Speed Handling Nitro What you upgrade first depends on what you as a driver want from your car . If you want superior control concentrate on that . If you want to hold more nitro in the tank , start with that . However , the main areas you should begin with are acceleration and top speed . Other cars have a tendency to go faster than you , and upgrading these two categories will give you superior performance on the road . | [

http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/160223/is-there-a-way-to-always-find-witch-huts | Is there a way to always find witch huts Ask Question 3 I have been searching for ages in my swamp , but I ca n ' t find a witch hut and I do n ' t know how how to build one . Does anyone know of a surefire ( 100 % acurate ) way to find witch huts ? minecraft share improve this question asked Mar 15 ' 14 at 7 : 39 Hugo Dodd 113 6 6 11 add a comment 2 Answers active oldest votes Where witch huts are placed depends on your world seed . You can find out the seed by typing / seed in the console . To find the witch hut , you can either calculate the coordinates by hand ( too complicated ) ; or use an tool like AMIDST The turquoise biome is a swamp , and the purple icons are witch huts ( marked with red borders in my image ) , the house icon is the world spawn . You can find out coordinates of a place by hovering over it with the mouse ; the coordinates will be shown at the top right . If you are looking for a seed with multiple which huts at the same place , you might want to check out this thread : Quad Witch Huts For building an witch hut I would recommend this tutorial : YouTube Video share improve this answer edited Mar 15 ' 14 at 12 : 25 answered Mar 15 ' 14 at 12 : 18 Frithjof 434 4 13 I do have AMIDST and I do know how to use it . Hugo Dodd Mar 15 ' 14 at 21 : 47 add a comment 0 There is not a 100 % sure way because huts are spawned in at random . Also , you can not build one either . The spawning space that actually spawns the witches are in a hut within a 5x5x4 dimension but do n ' t take my word . improve this answer answered Mar 15 ' 14 at 8 : 15 MannyLiens 38 1 1 did you know that if you start a world on peaceful difficulty and change to easy , normal or hard later on , if you find a witch hut , there will be no witch as the witches fromwitch huts are spawned during world generation . So that is a good way to take a witch hut as your home without having to fear and fight the witch . Mar 15 ' 14 at 21 : 51 @ HugoDodd World generation is actually done continuously as you move around , not all at once when you create the world , so starting on Peaceful only influences the initial chunks , not chunks generated later on a harder difficulty . You may actually have been experiencing a known bug with witches not spawning in any houses in certain versions ; it ' s not due to starting on peaceful .

The PSP should show up as a connected drive in your My Computer menu . It ' s probably called " Removable Disk " if you ' re on Windows . Open that drive and navigate to the PSP folder . Copy the SAVEDATA folder onto your PC somewhere like you Desktop . That folder has all your PSP saves and we ' ll copy them to the PS Vita soon . If you ' re concerned about how much space the data will take up on your PS Vita , check how large this SAVEDATA folder is , you ' re about to copy that much data onto your Vita . If it ' s too large , we can only copy the specific games you want the data for later . Prepare your PS Vita to copy the files Download any one PSP game onto your Vita and play it enough to generate a save file . Any game will do , it does n ' t have to be a game you want to copy the save data for . Install the PS Vita Content Manager Assistant for Windows or Mac OSX .

You should see the game you played earlier in a list ; tap the PSP game to select it and hit copy . Click Okay to copy it onto your PC . Find the folder on your PC the Vita copied to ; it should be in your Documents folder in a folder named PS Vita , in that folder there ' s a folder called PSAVEDATA . In that should be a single folder named with random letters and numbers . Open that folder ; this is where we ' re going to copy the PSP Save Data . Copy the files onto your Vita Open up the SAVEDATA folder from earlier , those are your PSP saves . Also open the PS Vita folder we mentioned before that has your PS Vita ' s copy of the save files ( you want to be inside the folder with the name that ' s random letters / numbers ) . Copy and past ALL folders from the SAVEDATA folder into the folder named with random letters . Say Yes to any dialogs that ask if you want to merge / copy files ; this means you ' re overwriting the Vita ' s copy of Now just open Content Manager on the Vita again and pick Copy Content : PC - > PS Vita System . Pick Applications - > Saved Data again . You should now see all of your PSP save data . I recommend hitting Select All and just copying all of this data over . You can also pick and choose just the games ' data you want to copy over if you want to save yourself some space . Pick Copy and hit Okay again , it will ask you if you want to overwrite any data you have on the PS Vita for the PSP games ; you want to do this , so click Apply to All and tap Overwrite .

Plus you can just redownload the games to the PSP later anyway , activating games on PS Vita does n ' t remove your ability to play them on a PSP ( you get to activate on 2 of each console , IIRC ) Jul 8 ' 13 at 13 : 02 add a comment 2 Here how I did it with my Final Fantasy Tactics ( FFT ) save files : I ca n ' t guarantee it ' ll work for you . Your PSP save games are accessible in the memory stick you used to save your files . Find a way to read the memory stick in a PC with a memory card reader ( I do n ' t know if you can backup your files from your PSP direclty to a computer . . . ) . The memory stick will have a folder structure like ( GAMES , SAVEDATA , etc . ) In the SAVEDATA directory you ' ll find a bunch of subfolders for each of your games that had a saved data on this memory Download the PSP games you want to play to your PSVita system . Optionally , to facilitate the transfert , play your game until it create a save game . Then plug your PSVita to your PC and install the Content Manager . Once installed you will be able to save games and files to your PC . Open the Content Manager App inside your PSVita system and select the " PS Vita System to PC " option , then " Applications " , then " Saved Data ( PSP ( tm ) / Other ) " . Check all Go to the locations of the save files in your PC . ( by default it should be inside your " My Documents " folder in a folder named " PS Vita " ) There ' ll be a folder named PSAVEDATA . Inside of it there ' ll be another folder with a random name that is , I think , a reference for your PS Vita system ( In case you have multiple systems saved to the same PC ) . Open it and you ' ll find a list of folders with names that looks just like Now return to your Content Manager app in your PS Vita . If your are still at the previous copy screen then press " Cancel " and the back arrow until you can choose " PC to PS Vita System " option , then " Applications " , " Saved Data . . . " . Check the save game you want to import , press " Copy " and it should be done . You can now go verify into each of your game to make sure your save games have been imported correctly . improve this answer answered Feb 27 ' 12 at 3 : 49 Plexico 21 1 2 One other thing to note . First , if you find the Content Manager icon in the system tray ( by the Clock on the task bar ) , you can right - click on that and pick Settings . On the settings screen toward the bottom there is a hot - link that takes you directly to the folder where you should copy your save files . There are even directions on screen telling you how to move your PSP save files . I was able to move PSOne classic saves such as FFVII , FFIX as well as PSP saves ( Lemmings ) and PSP minis ( Tetris ) by following the on - screen directions . Before trading my PSP Go in to Best Buy , I copied all of my saves files to a NAS drive from my Mac . Then I copied them from the NAS to the PC where I have content manager installed today . Point being , if you have the files saved somewhere , even if you no longer have a PSP this will still Aug 29 ' 12 at 15 : 35 tkunstek 21 1 Plug your PSP into your PS3 with a USB cable and select the USB Connection option in the PSP System menu .

Contents hide 1 Company overview 2 Games 3 Partnerships with other developers 3.1 Naughty Dog 3.2 Sucker Punch Productions 3.3 High Impact Games 4 External links Company overview Insomniac was founded in 1994 as an independent video game developer and is now based in Burbank , California . Its initial game , a first - person shooter called for the PlayStation , was released on November 20 , 1996 , and received critical success . Since then , the company has released eight more games in two series ( both of which were created by the company ) for the PlayStation , PlayStation 2 , and PlayStation 3 and all have been both critical and commercial successes . After the company produced the first three Spyro the Dragon games , the company lost the license to Universal Interactive Studios , which became known as Vivendi Games ( now Activision Blizzard ) , after ending their publishing relationship . They later went on to create the series . The first has the notable distinction of being the first western - produced game to be officially bundled with the PlayStation 2 in Japan . This was a result of being the first western video game to make Japan ' s top 100 list . The company has been named as one of the top 10 Best Small Companies to work for in America for 3 years in a row for their relaxed environment and flexible hours . In 2003 , a few of Insomniac ' s staff members left the company to create a new company called High Impact Games In 2006 , Insomniac released an M - rated PlayStation 3 first - person shooter , very unlike its other works . Its name during production was I - 8 , but it was later renamed Resistance : Fall of Man . The game ' s futuristic weapons seem to be influenced by the company ' s series . At the 2008 Game Developers Conference , Insomniac announced a new project titled the Nocturnal Initiative . This is a free wiki based project designed to encourage the distribution of development technologies which may be used in other games . Insomniac has shared technology they developed for use in titles such as Ratchet & Clank Future : Tools of Destruction and Resistance 2 In an interview with GameDaily BIZ in June 2008 , Ted Price announced that Insomniac Games plans to expand and open a sister studio in North Carolina , with Chad Dezern taking on the role of studio director . Dezern will be hiring twenty - five to thirty new developers and will prepare the studio to begin work on games based on new and existing intellectual properties . The new studio opened January 2009 and has eight opening for North Carolina . In Ratchet & Clank : Going Commando and Ratchet & Clank : Up Your Arsenal , the player can visit an Easter egg known as the " Insomniac Museum " . This is located on the planets Dantopia ( a reference to the late Dan Johnson ) and Burbank ( a reference to the company ' s location ) . The museum lets players find items , enemies , objects and conceptions that did not make it into the final resulting games . The Insomniac Museum in both games has the actual layout of the Insomniac Games offices . This is also true for the more recent game Ratchet & Clank Future : A Crack Games Insomniac Games have released thirteen games since the company was formed .

The company makes games that are similar in style , which sometimes contain references to each other . Demos for one company ' s games often appear on the other ' s releases . For example , Spyro 2 : Ripto ' s Rage ! contained a demo of Crash Team Racing . Because of their friendship , many fans have wondered if the two companies would collaborate on a game . However , it has been publicly stated that the two companies do not have plans for making a game together , although both Jak II feature billboard cameos of each others heroes ( and a scene in Going Commando shows Ratchet playing both Jak games ) . This is taken one step further in Jak X : Combat Racing Ratchet : Deadlocked as both feature Ratchet and Jak respectively as unlockable skins / characters . In the game Daxter , a Ratchet and a Clank mask can be found . Contrary to popular belief , Insomniac never borrowed the Jak and Daxter : The Precursor Legacy engine code from Naughty Dog to use on the games , though several key renderers from Naughty Dog made it into code . As for the two companies ' direct involvement , Naughty Dog ' s Richard Lemarchand said : " We do n ' t really trade anything concrete in terms of technology , but we definitely compare war stories of life in the trenches , and try and learn from each other ' s experiences . " Ted Price clarified Insomniac ' s stance on engine technology while obliquely mentioning the shared renderers : " We ' ve always developed all our own technology . It ' s been a little frustrating in the past for us to hear people say , ' Oh yeah , the Insomniac game is running on the Naughty Dog engine . ' People assumed that we were using Naughty Dog ' s engine for Ratchet , and that was not true . We shared some technology with Naughty Dog way back when , and that was great , but we are a company that puts stock in developing specialized technology and we will continue to do so . " — Ted Price , Independent PlayStation Magazine , September 2006 Despite these quotes , the credits sequence for Ratchet & Clank on the Sony PlayStation 2 states that " The Ratchet and Clank background engine was developed using proprietary techniques and code developed by Naughty Dog . " With the release of the PlayStation 3 , both developers seemed to be changing focus aesthetically from character - based platformers to more realistic , mature - themed action games with Naughty Dog ' s action series Uncharted and Insomniac ' s sci - fi first - person shooter series Resistance . Both main protagonists of these series has the same first name " Nathan " ( Nathan Drake in Uncharted series and Nathan Hale in Resistance series ) . The exception is Insomniac ' s continuation of the Ratchet and Clank series onto the PlayStation 3 . Sucker Punch Productions Although Insomniac is n ' t as close to as they are to Naughty Dog , they do exchange stories and tips . Sucker Punch ( much like Insomniac and Naughty Dog ) created a well known platformer in the PS2 era ( Sly Cooper ) and a more realistic game on the PS3 ( inFamous ) . A demo of Sucker Punch ' s Sly Cooper 2 can be found in Ratchet and Clank : Up Your Arsenal . Sucker Punch is also a second party developer to Sony Computer Entertainment with nearly all their games being published by them and also being PlayStation exclusives . is a company formed by ex - Insomniac staff . They have released the titles Ratchet & Clank : Size Matters Secret Agent Clank for the PlayStation Portable , as well as a PlayStation 2 port of Size Matters . They are also close friends with Naughty Dog and are finished working on Jak and Daxter : The Lost Frontier for PSP PS2 External links Official website Categories Articles using CompanyInfobox Game developers | [

http://gaming.wikia.com/wiki/Unown | Unown navigation search Unown [ [ File : ] ] Page Type ( s ) N / A Franchise Pokémon Basic Information Height 1 ′ 08 ″ ( 0.5m ) Weight 11.0 lbs . ( 5.0kg ) Signature Move Hidden Attack Ability Levitate Evolutionary Information Stage Basic Species Symbol Pokémon The names Unown and Unknown refer to the English word unknown ( meaning " not known " ) . Contents hide 1 Characteristics 2 Appearance 3 Newer varieties 4 Super Smash Bros . Melee 5 In Diamond and Pearl 6 Anime 7 Manga 8 Trading Card game 9 References 10 External links Characteristics Pokédex data states the variety of their abilities . In fact , all Unown have only one move , called Hidden Power , which can be of a different type depending on the IVs ( Individual Values ) of a Pokémon . The Pokédex also states some sort of causal relationship between Unown and ancient hieroglyphic writings . Information from their anime and movie appearances suggest that Unown are Pokémon which appear only in mysterious locations , and are never seen without the presence of other Unown in the area . What is known about these beings is that they have the amazing ability to create new realities and dimensions with their particular brand of psychic powers . They appear to have synchronized minds as well . Sometimes a swarm of them appear and act in perfect unison to create psychic effects beyond the imagination , including projecting illusionary beings such as other Pokémon that seem genuinely corporeal In Pokémon 3 : Spell of the Unown , one of the characters , Professor Hale , is thrown into an another dimension with many Unown circling around him . Because Unown are so rare elsewhere in the Pokémon world , it is supposed that this is their true home . Their psychic power allows them to tap directly into people ' s and Pokémon ' s minds , observing and planting memories and experiences . Unown is a rare card . Unown is able to eat Treat - Things , eggs , broccoli , brand muffins , and milk . Appearance All 28 different types of Unown . From left to right , top to bottom : A , B ; C , D , E , F , G , H ; I , J , K , L , M , N ; O , P , Q , R , S , T ; U , V , W , X , Y , Z , ! , ? Introduced in Pokémon Gold Silver , and Crystal , each of the 26 variations of Unown represented the 26 letters of the English alphabet . Each one was in a shape that was at least vaguely similar to each letter or shape . To show which varieties of Unown the player has caught , an " Unown Mode " ( sometimes referred to as the " Unowndex " ) can be added to the Pokédex in the Gold Silver , and Crystal versions . This mode assigns to each Unown a word beginning with the letter it resembles ; F - shaped Unown , for example , are associated with the word " Find " . In order for the player to get this upgrade , the player must catch three different variations of Unown . The order of the Unown shown in this mode is the order they were captured and the entry of the Unown image in the other modes of the Pokédex is the very first Unown seen by the player . The words associated with the original 26 Unown are as follows : Angry , Bear , Chase , Direct , Engage , Find , Give , Help , Increase , Join , Keep , Laugh , Make , Nuzzle , Observe , Perform , Quicken , Reassure , Search , Tell , Undo , Vanish , Want , Xxxxx , Yield , and Zoom . These names are also the Pokepower that each Unown has in the trading card game , except direct , make and nuzzle are dark , metal and normal , respectively . These Pokémon were originally only catchable in the Ruins of Alph , a mysterious archeological site in Johto which only became more mysterious with the addition of many hidden secret chambers in Pokémon Crystal . They also cause interference on the in - game radio , noticeable only in the Ruins of Alph on Frequency 13.5 . Upon catching all 26 in Pokémon Gold or , any player who owned a Game Boy Printer earned the ability to type in an Unown typeface and then print it onto special paper with the Game Boy Printer In terms of battling prowess , though , Unown are purely novelty . All their stats are below average , and they wield only one attack : Hidden Power , which varies between each Unown dependent on their IVs ( Individual Values ) in element . Unown are essentially meant to be a Pokémon to treat as a whole sub - class of Pokémon to catch on its own . In each chamber except the Unown Shrine is a sliding panel puzzle , plus at the back of each chamber is a strange place where there are Unown words . The Unown words are : " Light " ( use Flash ) , " Water " ( re - enter with a Water Stone in bag ) , " Escape " ( use an Escape Rope then re - enter the room ) , and " Ho - Oh " ( place Ho - Oh at the front of the party ) . Once one has done all of that whether or not one does the sliding puzzle to form either Ho - Oh Omanyte Aerodactyl , or Kabuto , one will open a new chamber where there are four items to collect . Once one opens up the chambers one can fall down the hole to read a message written in Unown font on the floor . The translated text reads : Our words shall remain here for the ages . Thus we shall erect a Pokémon statue outside . They possess great insight and refuse the outside world . We humans must learn to walk in harmony with them . We depart for their sakes . Also , if someone were to play Crystal Version and pull the cartridge out , Unown would be seen for a second . In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon , Unown are the only Pokémon in Unown Relic . Its friend areas are Aged Chambers AN and O ? . Newer varieties In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire , two brand new variations of Unown were introduced but remained uncatchable in the game . They are , however , catchable in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen in the location stated below , and in Pokémon Diamond Pearl once you catch the other 26 ; you then take them to the man who is tunneling a cave with his hands , his tunnel will lead to the room in which the unown are . The two new variations represent an exclamation point ( ) and a question mark ( ) . Both of these variations are extremely rare . It is also noted that both have their eyes only half open also in the cave at Solaceon Town if the player goes through the right passage ways there is a message that reads Friendship all lives touch other lives to create something a new and alive All 28 varieties are catchable in Tanoby Ruins ( located on Seven Island in the Sevii Islands ) in Pokémon FireRed LeafGreen In the DS game , Pokémon Trozei , all 28 varieties of Unown are available to add to the Trozei list . Because the Trozei list uses National Pokédex numbering , this means that when viewing the list , there are 28 slots listed as No . 201 . Different varieties of Unown are encountered in different places in the game , and each one counts as a separate Pokémon towards the Trozei List percentage , so in order to receive credit for getting every type of Pokémon the player has to get one of every type of Unown ( as opposed to Pokémon RPGs , where one must only get one Unown to have Unown registered in the Pokédex ) . This technically brings the count of available Pokémon in Pokémon Trozei to 413 , rather than 386 , since different types of Unown can not match with each other . In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon it is possible to befriend of all 28 Unown in Unown Relic given the player has purchased the Friend Areas Aged Chambers AN and O ? . Super Smash Bros . Melee Unown is one of the Pokémon that the Poké Ball item can unleash in . In the game , the newly released Unown flies to one side of the screen . If lucky enough , it will come in contact with a player , doing potentially fatal damage . Then from that side of the screen , Unown swarm together and attack at a random angle . They do n ' t do much damage , and they do n ' t hit the opponent very far , but about 40 to 50 appear , making the opponent prone to multiple hits . On contact , an Unown sends an opponent directly upwards . Melee was released before the Ruby Sapphire FireRed Emerald versions ) . In the game Super Smash Bros . , there are similar attacks when Onix or Beedrill is summoned from a Poké Ball . Unown is also an unlockable trophy . In Diamond and Pearl In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl , Unown are found in the Solaceon Ruins . There are six sub - levels , each with two small rooms ( one only has 1 , and some contain hidden items ) and a stairway to the next level . In the first sub - level ' s main room , there are only F forms . In the second , there are only R forms . In the third , I forms . In the fourth , E forms . In the fifth , N forms , and in the final room , FRIENDSHIP ALL LIVES TOUCH OTHER LIVES TO CREATE SOMETHING ANEW AND ALIVE ( ! ) and ( ? ) live in a chamber that is only opened when the player has caught all of the 26 letter Unown . The Unowns " F - R - I - E - N - D " only appear in the main rooms while the others appear in the small chambers . If the player shows an Unown to a child in a house just outside the Solaceon ruins , he will give him or her Ball Capsule Seals matching that letter . Anime Unown is featured in Pokémon the Movie 3 : Spell of the Unown as well as in the TV episode " Address Unown " . In the movie they are the main antagonists . The Unown create an Entei to befriend a young girl and grant all of the girl ' s wishes : in the girl ' s case , turning the town she lives in into crystal . Ash and friends convince the girl that Entei is not her true father , since her father was lost on an archeological dig in an Unown temple . The Unown Unown was also featured in Pokémon : Master Quest , in the episode Address Unown . In it , an ill and sick Unown ( with the shape of letter G ) fell out of the sky but quickly recovered thanks to Larvitar . Unown decides to return its kindness by showing Ash and his friends why Larvitar does n ' t open up to people . After he shows the mind of Larvitar he goes back to his dimension . This Unown , unlike the other Unown from the movie , is n ' t evil , and in In the recent Japanese movie , Dialga VS Palkia VS Darkrai , the prologue stated a legend before the movie began . In another dimension , a battle wages between two Pokémon , Dialga and Palkia . Both exchange powerful attacks , resulting in explosions that send groups of Unown flying . Dialga manages to get the upper hand , attacking Palkia with Roar of Time . Palkia quickly defends itself , but in the process gets one of its gems damaged . Both send of powerful waves of energy . This is proof that Unown lives in the same All Unowns ( except ! and ? forms ) are featured again in the episode Journey to the Unown . All the Unowns were affected by Bronzor ' s Confuse Ray after they came back to life from walls in the Solaceon Ruins and they grow enraged with their eyes turning pale red and the inside of the ruins turn black and red and the background changes into a bizarre dimension with endless stairs and a bottomless pit . The Unowns are all glaring at Team Rocket believing that they stole the Spear Key . Unowns attack everyone in the Unown made a last appearance in the Pikachu short movie , Pikachu ' s Really Mysterious Adventure . Unown is seen once again fell out of the sky except its an Unown with the shape of letter F ( similar episode in Address Unown , as G form ) . Unown will follow Pikachu to take it back to its world . Manga Unown first appeared in Volume 8 of Pokémon Special when Gold and Bugsy were in the Ruins of Alph . Gold had his Sunkern use Flash to blind Team Rocket , but accidentally disturbed the Unown from their slumber with the light from Flash . Bugsy later returns to study the Ruins further in Volume 11 , where he captures an Unown ( G ) . Unown later appear in Volume 24 , having been awakened by Sird from the Tanoby Ruins to use as a distraction while she fought Lorelei . The Unown later appear again throughout the volume , being employed by Team Rocket as living security cameras while impeding the progress of Red , Blue and Green . Trading Card game Unown in the Pokémon Trading Card Game The complete set of Unown ( at the time they were printed ) have appeared twice over the course of the Trading Card Game ' s history . The first were distributed among the three consecutive sets Neo Discovery , Neo Revelation , and Neo Destiny , as well as some Promo cards released between these sets . It has been noticed that there was no Unown R at the time . All ran on a weak attack called Hidden Power , but each one had a different Pokémon Power that would affect the game in a way related to Neo Discovery # 14 - Unown A Neo Discovery # 33 - Unown A Neo Discovery # 47 - Unown D Neo Discovery # 48 - Unown F Neo Discovery # 49 - Unown M Neo Discovery # 50 - Unown N Neo Discovery # 51 - Unown U Neo Discovery # 67 - Unown E Neo Discovery # 68 - Unown I Neo Discovery # 69 - Unown O Neo Revelation # 39 - Unown B Neo Revelation # 40 - Unown Y Neo Revelation # 58 - Unown K Neo Destiny # 27 - Unown G Neo Destiny # 28 - Unown H Neo Destiny # 29 - Unown W Neo Destiny # 30 - Unown X Neo Destiny # 55 - Unown C Neo Destiny # 56 - Unown P Neo Destiny # 57 - Unown Q Neo Destiny # 58 - Unown Z Neo Destiny # 87 - Unown L Neo Destiny # 88 - Unown S Neo Destiny # 89 - Unown T Neo Destiny # 90 - Unown V References The following games and their instruction manuals : Pokémon Red Blue Pokémon Yellow Pokémon Stadium Pokémon Stadium 2 Pokémon Ruby Emerald Pokémon Colosseum Pokémon XD : Gale of Darkness Publications Barbo , Maria .

It is widely praised worldwide for its humor , catchy rhythm as well as Psy ' s unusual dance moves , unofficially called " The Horse Dance " . The song was released on July 15 , 2012 , when it debuted at number one on the Gaon Chart . The music video has been viewed over 1,700,000,000 as of August 2013 , making it YouTube ' s most watched K - Pop video , and the most viewed video ever , beating Justin Bieber ' s " Baby " . It is the first Youtube video ver to Contents show Background Edit " Gangnam Style " is a Korean language colloquialism that refers to a luxurious lifestyle associated with the Gangnamdistrict , an affluent area of Seoul , where people are trendy , hip and exude a certain " swag " . The term was listed in TIME ' s weekly vocabulary list as a manner associated with lavish lifestyles in Seoul ’ s Gangnam district . The song is about " the perfect girlfriend who knows when to be refined and when to get wild . " In a CNN interview , PSY has compared Gangnam to Beverly Hills , California , " Gangnam is a territory in Seoul , Korea . I describe it as noble at the daytime and going crazy at the night time . I compare ladies to the territory . So — noble at the daytime , going crazy at the night time — and the lyric says I am the right guy for the lady who is like that . " The song is a satire of conspicuous consumption in South Korea – such satire is unusual in South Korean music , especially in K - Pop , which is known for bubblegum pop . The lyrics are by Psy , music by Psy and Yoo Gun - hyung , and it was arranged by Yoo Gun - hyung , who is a well - known producer in South Korea and also collaborated with Psy in the past .

Lube Systems started by grumpyvette Feb 6 2011 grumpyvette Administrator Staff Member HEY GRUMPYVETTE What would cause 70lbs of oil pressure at idle and none to the push rods Gauge is good I put in a new hv oil pump and still no oil HELP just a tip guys any ELECTRIC DRILL is going to have a difficult time spinning an oil pump priming tool without heating up and at least potentially or eventually burning out simply because electric drills cool with air flow and spinning as slow as an oil pump priming tool with that much resistance to the rotation its not going to be spinning fast enough to get the required air flow to cool properly the correct oil pump primer tool duplicates the distributor body and seals the oil passages you MUST manually rotate the crank a MINIMUM of at least two full revolutions while priming the oil passages to insure all the lifters and push rods get full acess to presurized oil flow there IS a simple solution for anyone who can fabricate that has access to air tools you simply modify an old distributor similar to this picture then weld on a 38 drive socket to the top and your your AIR RATCHET to spin the primer tool which will not overheat and burn up btw the best deal I found lately on basic hydraulic flat tappet lifters httpwwwsummitracingcompartssumht817overview anytime your tracking down a problem you need to isolate and testeach potential source think logically I know some of you would rather be boiled in oil than read links I providebut you might be amazed at the info they contain Id suggest two quick checks first replace your oil filter as they can be defective and block flowwhile its off inspect the spin on oil filter adapter plate and verify your oil levels at the correct level on the dipstick then loosen ALL the rocker arms until they are loose enough to click at idle and use a preluber to furnish the oil pressure without putting any wear on the bearings as you have a friend slowly rotate the crank to allow oil to flow easily httpwwwsummitracingcompartsSUM901010rtype10 READ THIS THREAD viewtopicphpf52t6491p20681hilitsprayspringscoolingp20681 READ THESE threads a clogged oil passage or cam or main bearing oil feed hole bearings full of crud from a previous failed cam lifteror bearing failure or bits of silicone gasket material or the wrong oil filter or oil pump pickup can be a problem source If you find a single lifter or cylinder clicking obviously youll want to verify clearances and adjust the rocker if the ticking continues you might have a worn cam lobe but do some testing and checking Assuming youve located the lifter tick to a single cylinder location do this quick test look carefully a good many lifter ticks are rocker related the oil mist bath being constantly thrown from the rotating crank assembly unto the lower bore wallsand rockers over the valve trainvalve springs rockersrods and underside of the pistons does A GREAT DEAL of the initial heat absorption and heat transfer and prevents the pistons and rings from being damaged only as the hot oil falls and drains back into the lower sump is much of the heat transferred to the coolant in the block oil flow and coolant flow are both required to absorb and remove heat buildup from the engineespecially from the rotating assembly bearingsand valve train components viewtopicphpf51t1479 viewtopicphpf54t3536 viewtopicphpf54t2187

PRESSURE ISSUE you DO REALIZE THAT THE BASE OF THE DISTRIBUTOR OR PRE_OILER MUST look like the one above because it FORMS a wall in the lower lifter gallery oil passage if you use a preoiler or oil pump drive like these below theres a huge internal leak and youll never get much oil flow theres also a plug that can be incorrectly installed correct PLUG BLOCKING OIL PASSAGE which may be your issue the plug is not sideways or missing if it was theres no difference in oil pressure you just have most of the oil byepass the filter if you had both oil pressure and flow for over 1200 miles for the cam break in its not likely the plug personally Id inspect the oil pump and pickup that will require a tool like this one below or pulling the oil pan httpwwwtoolragecomprodViewaspskuSLIPV618 the tool I bought saves me a ton of work think logically 1 if hes got 70 psi at idle theres only a few potential problems 2he cant have a major oil passage plug out of place other than the one I linked too being placed too deeply so it blocks most or all of the oil to the lifter gallery passages 3 he states the GAUGE is correctI tend to doubt that a bit because even a high volume oil pump will rarely reach 70psi at idle but because oil is not compressible yes its entirely possible while your engines running theres several gallons of oil per minutes circulating thru your blocks oil pump and the blocks internal oil passages if you have any crud suspended in that oil like particles of sealant or micro bits of bearing or cam lobe metallic crud from a wiped cam lobe etc its pumped thru the oil system along with the oil flow until its trapped by the oil filter or gets trapped and blocks the oil passages all that extra silicone sealant that gets squeezed out off the gaskets tends to get carried by the oil flow into the oil pan where some of its trapped in the oil filter during each successive trip thru the engine but bits that get trapped in the oil passages can rapidly reduce oil flow and destroy bearings cam lobes and rockers and lifters IN THE PICTURE ABOVE YOU SEE THE RESULTS OF EXCESS GASKET MATERIAL AND SILICONE SEALANT THAT GOT LOOSE IN THE OILAND PASSED INTO THE OIL

httpgaragegrumpysperformancecomindexphpthreadsbbcoilpumpinasbc2598 check all valve train geometry and clearance on any engine you assemble or modify the valve train on the first thing Id be doing here if your not getting a strong oil flow at each rocker while your turn the engine manually and use the oil priming tool is carefully visual checking of BOTH the valve train rocker geometry and that the push rods are completely hollow and free of debris by cleaning each with solvent and high pressure air then mocking the drive train up and verifying that BOTH the rocker and push rod oil feed holes line up at some point in the 720 degrees of rotation and that the bottom end of the push rods if crud blocks most of these leakage points pressure will rapidly increase until the pumps byepass circuit opens to limit pressure to 6570 psi viewtopicphpf54t52 viewtopicphpf54t150 viewtopicphpf54t3536 viewtopicphpf52t6491 did you do what I suggested and loosen every rocker until it clicks the reason is that its entirely possible to cold adjust rockers so the lifter seat cant move far enough up to fill the lifter with oilwhen its on the base of the cam lobe when the rockers not placing spring loads on the lifter seat so that no or darn little oil gets under the push rod seat consequentially noor very little oil moves up the push rods because any missing plug would severely reduce the oil pressure if your not getting oil to the lifters this process of loosening all the lifters to maximize the lifter push rod seat movement is a mandatory first step in locating the source of the problem Last edited by a moderator Jul 3 2018 grumpyvette Feb 6 2011 1 grumpyvette Administrator Staff Member hey grumpyvette Priming motor have oil to all rockers except one Ever see this before I have my drill on my priming tool gauge reads 60psi Initially took about 2 minutes to get oil to flow to the top end but now they all flow within 5 seconds of turning the drill on Except for 6 exhaust No oil comes out Pushrod is clear and so is the rocker arm adjuster I have rotated the engine over 90 increments several times but nothing Tried for over 5 minutes steady All rockerspushrods have great flow otherwise Whats the deal here If it does not flow after 5 minutes of 60psi I dont think it will flow if I fire it up Same block as last time Swapped lifters from Crane rollers to Isky EZX Look at this thing it is bone dry IF your not getting oil flow at the rockers do a few basic tests dont assume anything ARE you 100 sure the push rod feed holes line up with the oil feed holes in the rockers at some point in the engines rotation can you stick a small paper clip wire thru the oil feed hole in the rocker tip so it goes into the tip of the push rod and have you used solvent and air pressure to flush out the interior of the push rods to verify oil can travel up thru them REMEMBER TO CAREFULLY CHECK THE PUSHROD TO CYLINDER HEAD GUIDE AND CYLINDER HEAD CASTING CLEARANCESIF IT BINDS IT MAY CAUSE A LOSS OF OIL FLOW FROM LIFTER TOO ROCKER try backing off on the adjustment nut as the engine idles to the point the rocker clicks noticeably then slowly tighten just to the point the noise stops then add only a 14 turn and see if that doesnt cure the oil feed issue There is an oiling hole in the tip of the rocker that feeds from the lifter to the rocker as the lifter rides up the cam lobe the spring compressed the oil trapped in the lifter forcing it up the push rod that oil in the push rod has to at some point line up with the hole in the push rod to rocker oil feed hole Maybe its not lining up and thats why theres no oil coming out it cant if the holes dont line up at some point in the rotation In this comparison you can see the major difference between a highvolume smallblock pump gear left and the Rat motor gear right The Rat motor pump enjoys a larger diameter and more pump teeth that should create a more stable output curve every choice you make is a compromise in some area yes it takes a couple more horsepower to spin a high volume oil pump at peak rpms as its doing significantly more work pushing cooling and lubricating oil flow at a higher volume but in exchange your getting faster and greater volume of oil flow over the whole rpm range that is slightly more effective at cooling the valve train and bearings and at start up this tends to reduce wear over time and in my experience its to your advantage to use a standard volume bbc oil pump in SOME sbc performance applications I find threads like this a bit amusingMOSTautomotive problems are best solved by a isolate and verify processIM going to assume youve verified the valve train clearances and geometry and that the push rod was clear and rocker oil holes are not blocked and you inspected the lifter before installing it make sure the pushrod guide plates or the cylinder head clearance slot dont touch the pushrod anyplace during the full 720 degree cycle because if they bind the pushrod tip feed hole to lifter seat or pushrod to rocker oil hole alignment may be preventing oil flow logic says that if all but one rockers is getting oil theres obviously something different with that rockerpush rod or lifterthe first test is to loosen the rocker adjustment to allow the rocker to have a bit more slack or lash as it might just be its too tightly lashed if thats not the cure now it should be obvious that the fastest and easiest test would be to swap pushrods and see if the push rod change caused the problem to stay at that location or move with the pushrod if it moves its obviously a defective push rod httpwwwautozonecomautozoneaccess 39313_0_0_ If your installing your own can bearings you want to clean the oil passages out first carefully pay attention during the process and if if the cam bearing your using seams to be loose spend the 20 for a new set of cam bearings rather than chance it coming loose obviously youll need the oil feed holes properly

clone that I am installing a original 1966 big block engine into but its been rebuilt the 396 bbc engine I Purchased a 396 big block with the correct casting numbers from a farmer who had it in his barn for over 20 years said it had been gone through but he didnt know what had been done Long story short I installed it because it looked fine but I didnt have any oil to the rockers when I primed it or briefly started it now what If your concerned about which stock performance camshaft3904362 or 3863143 the 143 has the groove for the 6566 BBC lifter oiling system the 362 does not both are listed as replacement camsand if the groove not present in the early blockit can not be used in a 6566 BBC without having a machine shop cut the groove in the rear cam journal the 1965 and 1966 big block 396 had unique rear cam bearings and required a grooved rear cam journal most cams you buy currently are not grooved the groove can be cut on a lathe its about 188 wide and 125 deep its best to have both the correct cam mods and rear cam bearing the rockers should be checked as they tend to have the problem first as the lifters and bearings usually get at least some oil but dont run it until youve verified thats the problem or youve located the problem any decent machine shop can groove your rear cam bearing journal cheaply 188200 wide and 125 316 deep is usually fine Small Block Chevy Oil Lubrication Systems The Chevy smallblock lubrication system is very reliable and presents no design defects to worry about Just keep everything clean Change the oil and filter on a regular basis and it will provide good service for more than one hundred thousand miles If the recommended main and rod bearing and rod side clearances are maintained a stock volume oil pump is all that is required A highvolume or highpressure pump or an oil pump from a bigblock Chevy are not needed in most street applications These other pumps take additional horsepower to run and add more strain on the camdistributor drive gears and drive shaft Checking the operating clearances on the stock oil pump and optimizing them if necessary will ensure adequate oil pressure The clearance between the pump gears and the pump gear cover should be 002 to 0025 If there is more clearance take a sheet of 400grit sandpaper and some oil then move the main pump body in a figure8 motion over the wet sandpaper to remove material until the clearance is correct If there is less than the minimum clearance you can sand the pump gears Remember to Loctite the pump cover bolts when you put the pump back together Stock small block oil pump Oil pump drive shafts compared The stock standard volume smallblock oil pump will give excellent service in most applications Make sure that the pickup screen you use fits the depth of the oil pan and that the pickup tube is welded or bolted to the pump body The oil pump drive shaft on the left fits any Gen I smallblock except the 400 The 400 shaft on the right is necked down in the center portion to clear the wider main caps found on the 400 Oil pump pressure relief spring You can increase the operating oil pressure in a standard volume oil pump by changing the pressure relief spring to the Z28 302 spring offered under PN3848911 colorcoded white With this highpressure spring there is no need for washer shims or carb jets Operating pressures will be 65 to 70 pounds Two different oil pump intermediate drive shafts have been used in Gen I blocks All Gen I blocks except the 400 use a drive shaft that is 534 long overall and is the same shaft diameter its entire length up to where the plastic or metal coupling sleeve attaches The 400style shaft is the same length but the diameter is necked down in a portion of the shaft to clear the wider journal 400 main caps The oil pump drive shaft for a Chevy bigblock is longer 612 overall and is not interchangeable Gen II engines that have a frontmounted OptiSpark distributor use an oil pump drive shaft stub which connects the gear on the rear of the cam to the oil pump If you have a Gen II longblock and elect to use a Bowtie fourbarrel carburetor aluminum intake and a rearmounted distributor you must change the oil pump stub drive shaft to the conventional intermediate drive shaft found on Gen I motors Have the oil pump screen and pickup tube welded to the pump body Remove the pumps pressure bypass spring in the pump before you do any welding to prevent heat damage to the spring There are some aftermarket pickup screens and tubes that will bolt to the pump and give positive retention of the pickup instead of welding Make sure that you prime the oil pump before you install it Squirt some oil into the pump or stick the pickup down into some oil and turn the pump shaft by hand to coat the pump gears This ensures that the pump will move oil as soon as the new motor is turned over the first time you start it Its also a good practice to use a priming tool on an assembled motor before it is started for the first time Oil can then be pumped throughout the engine Continue to use the priming tool until you see oil come out of all of the rocker arm oiling holes Check that there is 14 to 38 clearance between the lowest point of the pickup screen and the bottom of the oil pan Generally the rule of thumb for oil pressure is 10 pounds of pressure for every 1000 rpm For example you should have 40 pounds of hot oil pressure at 4000 rpm 50 pounds at 5000 rpm and 60 pounds at 6000 rpm Chevrolet makes a highpressure relief spring PN3848911 It is color coded white and will provide a maximum of approximately 70 pounds of oil pressure This spring is used in highperformance oil pump PN3848907 You can add this spring to a stock standard volume oil pump for increased line pressure PN3848907 is a standard volume oil pump with Z28 pressure relief spring PN3848911 is a pressure relief spring Z28 70psi PN3855152 oil pump pickup screen and tube is used with PN465220 Z28 oil pan and standard volume Z28 pump PN10046007 is an oil pump mounting bolt PN3998287 is an oil pump distributor drive shaft use with plastic retainer connector PN3764554 or 10105879 If you do use a highvolume or highpressure oil pump use a pump drive shaft that has a metal coupler instead of using the stock plastic coupler The LS1 Gen III 350 uses a frontmounted gerotor oil pump that is driven by a gear on the crank snout A long pickup tube is routed from the pump to the pickup screen in the Gen III cast aluminum pan Oil Pans First make sure that whichever oil pan you intend to use will fit inside your engine compartment without hitting the front suspension crossmembers Also determine on which side of the engine the dipstick will go It must match the dipstick location in the block and the oil pan If you mistakenly put an oil pan with a passenger side dipstick location on to a block with a drivers side dipstick location you can develop an oil leak Check these things before you build the engine and certainly before you install the engine into the vehicle Over the years twopiece rear main oil seal pans used two different thicknesses of seals between the front oil pan surface and the timing chain cover Heres how to tell which front pan gasket to use On engines from 1955 to 74 a 14 thin gasket was used and from 1975 to 85 a 38 thick gasket was used Take the oil pan youre going to use and place a straightedge across the pan rails over the front gasket halfmoon opening Measure the distance from the seal surface to the bottom of the straightedge If the distance is 214 use the 14 thin seal If the distance is 238 use the 38 thick seal You can use a twopiece seal oil pan with a thick gasket on a block that originally used a thin gasket and pan if you must Just make sure you use the appropriate front pan seal and that the pan has the dipstick location that matches the block and location that you need A Moroso deep sump oil pan A Moroso deep sump oil pan Note the trap door baffle to keep oil around the oil pump pickup screen and the curved portion of the pan rail to accommodate a drivers side dipstick and tube Also make sure that you use a pan for a twopiece rear main oil seal with a block that has the twopiece rear seal Likewise a onepiece rear main seal block and crank requires an oil pan suited for this application Chevy and some aftermarket suppliers do make adapters to mount a twopiece seal crank into a onepiece seal block and use the appropriate pan Make sure you figure this all out and make your parts selection before you build the motor Moroso deep sump oil pan Make sure that the type of pan you have chosen will fit in the engine compartment of your vehicle This type of deep sump pan oil fits most vehicle applications PN359942 is a 5quart oil pan with trap door baffles and a bigger sump It was used on Gen I engines in Corvettes with a twopiece rear oil seal block drivers side dipstick position This pan will fit pre86 Corvettes but may not fit your

I dont see any reason it maters and does less preload result in less valve lift or more valve lift Id figure that the more preload the less lifter plunger moves and the more valve lift READ THIS THREAD viewtopicphpf52t1376p3033p3033 viewtopicphpf52t6491p20681hilitsprayspringscoolingp20681 I dont think you have a firm grasp on whats going onduring the mechanics of the lifters operation the lifter seat is FULLY compressed to its seat as the cam lobe ramp spinning under the lifter base lifts the lifter off the cams base circleand the lifters pushrod seat is compressed against the valve spring oil trapped between the lifter is forced up the pushrod until the lifters pushrod seat reaches its fully depressed location in the lifter body this takes time and depending on the rpm levels it may not reach its full depressed seat location in the lifter the lifter seat is forced back to its full upper location by a combo of engine oil hydraulic pressure and a small spring this also takes time hydraulic lifters will at some point in the upper rpm band fail to fully cycle but generally continue to cycle once the rpms drop again the factory suggests 34 turn as it allows more compensation for wear in the valve train and anything from 1434 works but you get more valve spring cooling with 14 at low and mid rpms the lifter pushrod seat is fully depressed during the lash ramp and has little or no effect on total valve lift see green linethis is mandatory as its how oil is forced up the push rods to lube the valve train at high rpms the lack of time to bleed oil up thru the push rods and allowing the seat to fully seat might add insignificant lift at very high rpms the lifter seat cant collapse the plunger fully and it can cause the valves not to fully seat Ive helped break

grumpyvette Administrator Staff Member Diagnosing Oil Pressure Problems By Larry Carley Larry Carley Every engine requires a certain amount of oil flow to keep the bearings camshaft valvetrain and other moving parts lubricated Oil forms a barrier that prevents metaltometal contact and reduces friction and wear within the engine In the bearings it forms a wedge that actually lifts and supports the crankshaft and camshaft as they rotate Oil also serves as the primary means of cooling the bearings as well as the pistons Whats more oil also serves as a hydraulic fluid inside hydraulic lifters and lash adjusters to maintain proper valve lash On some late model engines with variable valve timing oil also moves the adjuster mechanism that advances and retards cam timing With so many important jobs to do its obvious that the engine needs a steady supply of oil But how do we know if the bearings and other moving parts are being adequately lubricated Since theres no simple way of measuring oil flow inside an engine we use oil pressure as a means of gauging oil flow and lubrication Oddly enough oil pressure by itself doesnt give us the complete picture of whats really going on inside the engine It only tells us the oil is encountering resistance as it circulates through the engine Understanding oil pressure Oil pressure is created when the positive displacement oil pump sucks up oil from the pan and pushes it through the filter into the engines main oil gallery The oil is then routed to where it is needed the main bearings rod bearings cam bearings upper valvetrain and timing chain or tensioner The oils viscosity makes it thick and slows the flow as it passes through the passages and bearings The amount of pressure created thus depends on the bearing clearances as well as the oils viscosity Tighter clearances andor heavier viscosity equal more pressure As the pressure builds up in the oil system it has to go somewhere A springloaded pressure relief valve built in the oil pump or next to the pump opens when pressure exceeds a certain limit and either reroutes oil back into the pumps inlet or the oil pan This prevents a dangerous buildup of pressure that could rupture the oil filter or blow out pressed in oil gallery plugs Most relief valves are set to open when oil pressure exceeds about 50 psi At idle most oil pumps do not produce enough flow to force open the relief valve Oil pumps that are camshaft driven only turn at half engine speed so output isnt great at idle and low rpm Even pumps that are crankshaft driven and turn at engine speed or double engine speed in a few instances dont pump enough oil to overcome the relief valve spring The relief valve generally only comes into play at higher rpms when the pumps output pushes more oil into the system than it can handle Then the relief valve opens to vent oil and Low oil pressure The first indication of low oil pressure is usually a flickering oil warning lamp at idle or a lowerthannormal gauge reading Unfortunately most warning lamps wont come on until the oil pressure is really low like 4 to 5 psi If the warning isnt noticed or heeded the next indication may be valve clatter as the hydraulic lifters or lash adjusters run out of oil If the loss of oil pressure continues much longer the next sound will be the rods knocking followed by silence as the bearings seize Low oil pressure is bad news because it usually means the engine isnt getting enough oil and that can lead to serious trouble very quickly for the rod and main bearings as well as upper valvetrain components especially overhead camshafts For this reason any indication of low oil pressure should not be ignored and should be diagnosed and dealt with immediately In a high mileage engine low oil pressure is often due to a combination of worn bearings and a worn oil pump The oil pump is a high wear component in all engines because it draws in unfiltered oil The pickup screen on most engines is relatively coarse and will only stop relatively large chunks of debris from entering the pump Yet the internal clearances in many pumps is only a few thousandths of an inch between the gears and between the gears and cover Whats more many pickup screens have a relatively large bypass valve or slots that allow When an oil pump ingests debris it can wear or damage the gears As wear increases over time clearances increase causing the pump to work less efficiently As the pump gets weaker oil pressure drops The cure here is to replace the worn pump with a new one Sometimes an oil pump will suck in something that causes it to lock up This usually breaks the pump drive and totally starves the engine for oil Unless the engine is shut off almost immediately its the end of the road for the bearings too Installing a high volume oil pump can increase oil pressure somewhat at idle because the larger gears will displace more oil But high volume oil pumps are designed primarily for high rpm performance applications where increased bearing clearances andor the use of a remote filter or dry oil sump requires more oil flow A high volume oil pump is not a substitute for overhauling or replacing a worn engine As for high pressure oil pumps installing one usually wont make any difference in idle pressure because the relief valve doesnt come into play until higher rpms All this type of pump does is raise maximum oil pressure at higher rpms If you replace an oil pump always replace the pickup too Swishing an old pickup in some solvent may only loosen the crud that has accumulated over the years inside the screen allowing it to be sucked into the new pump as soon as the engine is started Priming the pump prior to starting the engine is also a good idea so theres no delay in oil reaching the bearings Also use care when installing a pickup tube and screen so that it is properly mounted and does not leak As for worn bearings increased clearances allow the oil to leak out of the bearings at a faster rate Only about 001 of wear in the main bearings can reduce oil pressure up to 20 Wear also increases the amount of oil splash inside the crankcase which can overwhelm the rings and cause the engine to burn more oil Excessive bearing clearances will also increase engine noise and pounding which will eventually lead to bearing fatigue and failure The only fix for worn bearings is to replace them or the entire engine Installing a set of standard sized bearings assuming the crankshaft is still within acceptable tolerances can help restore normal oil pressure at idle but the amount of improvement will depend on wear elsewhere in the engine too Bearings alone cant rejuvenate a tired engine that may also have low compression and worn valvetrain components Troubleshooting low pressure Start by checking the oil level on the dipstick If the oil level is low the engine may be leaking andor burning oil Adding oil may temporarily restore normal oil pressure but unless the oil level is maintained the problem will return If the engine is leaking oil recommend new gaskets or seals to fix the leak If the engine is burning oil the valve guides and seals are probably worn and the rings and cylinders might be worn too A wet compression test andor leakdown test can help isolate the wear and determine the best course of action Also note the condition of the oil and make sure it is the correct viscosity for the vehicle and prevailing weather conditions For most late model vehicles the crankcase should contain 5W30 or 10W30 For older high mileage engines 10W40 20W50 or even straight 30W or 40W oil can help maintain good oil pressure in hot weather But 20W50 and straight 30 and 40 are too thick for cold weather driving and may cause startup lubrication problems especially in overhead cam engines Light viscosity oils such as 5W20 and straight 10W can provide good lubrication in cold weather but may If the oil level is OK the next thing to check would probably be the oil pressure sending unit Disconnect the unit and check the warning lamp or gauge reading If the warning light remains on with the sending unit disconnected theres probably a short to ground in the warning lamp circuit Likewise if theres no change in a gauge reading the problem is in the instrumentation not the engine Bad oil pressure sending units are fairly common But if the warning lamp is still on after replacing the unit guess what A sending unit has just been replaced unnecessarily A better approach is to unscrew the sending unit hook up a pressure gauge to the fitting on the block and take an actual pressure reading with the engine running If oil pressure reads low at idle check for a plugged oil filter Is the filter OK Then youll probably have to drop the oil pan to inspect the oil pump pickup screen and bearings With a crankcase mounted pump you can remove the pump cover and check the pumps internal clearances for wear or damage If the pump appears to be in good condition that leaves the bearings Check the clearances on the main bearing closest to the pump since this has the greatest effect on pressure and clearances on the furthest rod bearing since this will show the greatest wear If the bearings are worn your customer either needs a new set of bearings more extensive machine work andor a rebuilt engine But dont install any bearings until youve carefully measured the crankshaft Other checks might include camshaft end play andor pulling a valve cover or the intake manifold to check the cam bearings and lifters Remember excessive clearances or leaks anywhere in the engines oil supply system can contribute to low oil pressure Erratic oil pressure If the oil pressure seems fine one minute then suddenly drops it usually means air is being sucked into the oil pump This can be caused by a low oil level an improperly mounted oil pickup too high in the oil pan leaks between the pickup and pump or too much oil in the crankcase In the case of too much oil in the crankcase windage from the spinning crankshaft whips the oil into foam A missing or loose windage tray inside the oil pan may be a contributing factor If the oil pressure surges at higher rpms it may be the result of air being drawn into the pump for any of the just mentioned reasons or a sticking pressure relief valve Sometimes an engine can run out of oil at higher rpm if the return passages in the head and block are restricted and dont allow the oil to drain back into the pan quickly enough Too much oil pressure Though less common too much oil pressure can also create problems The most likely cause here is a stuck relief valve in the oil pump If the pressure valve fails to open pressure can reach dangerously high levels and may rupture the oil filter or force out oil gallery plugs Replace the pump or valve if separate to cure this condition On 199597 General Motors 23L and 24L engines the OEM oil pump relief valve can stick causing pressure to shoot up to 125 psi or higher GM says pressure should not exceed 85 psi at 3000 rpms on these engines GMs fix for the problem is a revised oil pump pn 24576315 Other causes of excessive oil pressure can include a restriction or blockage in the main oil gallery or a combination of tight bearing clearances high rpm operation and using an oil viscosity thats too thick grumpyvette Jun 20 2013 5 grumpyvette Administrator Staff Member Anytime your tracing a failure to get oil flow youll generally start at the oil pump and oil pump pickup if you have good steady oil pressure readings on the gauge yet the rockers dont seem to flow oil well and especially if they are aftermarket rockers you might be dealing with badly set up rocker geometry defective rockers or restrictive clearances but one very common cause is simply not correctly adjusting the valve train clearances simply backing off the adjustment nuts on the rockers while the engine idles until they click audibly at idle then slowly tightening just until the clicking stops then adding an additional 14 turn of preload as the engine idles works well on most engines check the oil passages m and cam bearing alignment
