This is truly a marvel of a game, a must play for all sorts of gamers. Though the game can be confusing at first, it develops into quite a game. Even though I just started the game, I can tell that I'm going to enjoy it for a long time. Here's a brief of the system requirements :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Xp Service Pack 2 or Vista, Intel Pentium D 2.4 GHz or AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (Dual Core) processor, 512 MB (XP), 1 GB (Vista), 256 MB DirectX 9.0c Graphics Card with Shader Model 3.0 or higher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all the game is based on being an assassin so you can guess what kind of gameplay it has. It has a hell load of stealth in it thats for sure. Then there are advanced techniques by which you can kill your enemies. Such as assassinating them silently with your hidden blades, or just cutting them up with your sword. Then there are the parts where you run up walls and jump from building to building which is loads of fun. Did I tell you? You can ride horses and kill people by running into them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The story is pretty unique as well. Basically some organization kidnaps you, a bartender, to take out some specific memory from your ancestor. They hook you up to a machine called Animus which lets you recollect your ancestors memories. The whole game is based on that while the past story is quite interesting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two words that fit the game while you play as the assassin....."SCREW YOU!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For further information&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin's_Creed"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin's_Creed&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3908053935401628354-1543934875538588208?l=phoenixkai.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://phoenixkai.blogspot.com/feeds/1543934875538588208/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://phoenixkai.blogspot.com/2010/06/assassins-creed.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3908053935401628354/posts/default/1543934875538588208'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3908053935401628354/posts/default/1543934875538588208'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://phoenixkai.blogspot.com/2010/06/assassins-creed.html' title='Assassin&apos;s Creed'/><author><name>Kaijudox(Krishnan)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18090732175054769387</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sYJQy2em6fA/SoAGgd4IeUI/AAAAAAAAAAM/EUtEpGMN8bg/S220/Tauros.PNG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sYJQy2em6fA/TCToMj1u2fI/AAAAAAAAAA4/d_U2KFb0-YA/s72-c/assassins-creed-killer-1037.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3908053935401628354.post-3862789890346354706</id><published>2010-06-19T23:17:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-19T23:17:57.571-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hamster Wheel App</title><content type='html'>&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="outline:none;" data="http://hosting.gmodules.com/ig/gadgets/file/112581010116074801021/hamster.swf?up_waterColor=1C75D4&amp;up_wheelCenterColor=E0E807&amp;up_foodColor=cba920&amp;up_wheelSpokeColor=DEDEDE&amp;up_tailColor=E6DEBE&amp;up_feetColor=D4C898&amp;up_wheelColor=FFFFFF&amp;up_snoutColor=696763&amp;up_eyeColor=C1C7C1&amp;up_earColor=D4C898&amp;up_wheelOuterColor=B03838&amp;up_bgColor=FFFFFF&amp;up_bodyColor=171702&amp;" width="300" height="225"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://hosting.gmodules.com/ig/gadgets/file/112581010116074801021/hamster.swf?up_waterColor=1C75D4&amp;up_wheelCenterColor=E0E807&amp;up_foodColor=cba920&amp;up_wheelSpokeColor=DEDEDE&amp;up_tailColor=E6DEBE&amp;up_feetColor=D4C898&amp;up_wheelColor=FFFFFF&amp;up_snoutColor=696763&amp;up_eyeColor=C1C7C1&amp;up_earColor=D4C898&amp;up_wheelOuterColor=B03838&amp;up_bgColor=FFFFFF&amp;up_bodyColor=171702&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="AllowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="opaque"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3908053935401628354-3862789890346354706?l=phoenixkai.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://phoenixkai.blogspot.com/feeds/3862789890346354706/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://phoenixkai.blogspot.com/2010/06/hamster-wheel-app.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3908053935401628354/posts/default/3862789890346354706'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3908053935401628354/posts/default/3862789890346354706'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://phoenixkai.blogspot.com/2010/06/hamster-wheel-app.html' title='Hamster Wheel App'/><author><name>Kaijudox(Krishnan)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18090732175054769387</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sYJQy2em6fA/SoAGgd4IeUI/AAAAAAAAAAM/EUtEpGMN8bg/S220/Tauros.PNG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3908053935401628354.post-1230132984882008500</id><published>2010-06-18T09:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-18T09:29:15.283-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Plants vs Zombies</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sYJQy2em6fA/TBuezwUWDvI/AAAAAAAAAAw/P20Xsn2KwI4/s1600/Plants_vs_Zombies_cover.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left;

Its also a real fun game for people who are new to gaming. This game has received a lot of praise for its unique styles and ideas, and especially for its musical scores. Its a lovely game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;System requirements: OS: Mac OS X 10.4.11 and later Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 Memory: 512 MB RAM 512+ MB RAM Processor: Intel Core Duo 1.66 GHz 1.2+GHz MHz or faster DirectX: 8.0 &lt;br /&gt;(Pretty simple requirements, nothing much)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The game is a real time strategy based game. The play field is on horizontal strips on your lawn. A plant occupies a single square.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The objective of the game is to protect your house from being invaded by zombies and not allowing them to eat your brains. You do this by planting certain plants such as peashooters which shoot at your opponent. You grow plants by having an amount of resource in the game called falling suns. Each plant does different things in their own style, such as offense or defense. Then there's our crazy neighbour CRAZY DAVE, who helps us some times throughout the game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the unique style of gameplay and the catchy music in the background, you'll be sure to keep playing this game for a long time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For further information&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plants_vs._Zombies"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plants_vs._Zombies&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3908053935401628354-1230132984882008500?l=phoenixkai.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://phoenixkai.blogspot.com/feeds/1230132984882008500/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://phoenixkai.blogspot.com/2010/06/plants-vs-zombies.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3908053935401628354/posts/default/1230132984882008500'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3908053935401628354/posts/default/1230132984882008500'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://phoenixkai.blogspot.com/2010/06/plants-vs-zombies.html' title='Plants vs Zombies'/><author><name>Kaijudox(Krishnan)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18090732175054769387</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sYJQy2em6fA/SoAGgd4IeUI/AAAAAAAAAAM/EUtEpGMN8bg/S220/Tauros.PNG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sYJQy2em6fA/TBuezwUWDvI/AAAAAAAAAAw/P20Xsn2KwI4/s72-c/Plants_vs_Zombies_cover.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3908053935401628354.post-4985967211486757317</id><published>2010-05-02T08:27:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-18T09:30:46.978-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Test Page</title><content type='html'>Just testing, skip thish&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3908053935401628354-4985967211486757317?l=phoenixkai.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://phoenixkai.blogspot.com/feeds/4985967211486757317/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://phoenixkai.blogspot.com/2010/05/moons-of-fire.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3908053935401628354/posts/default/4985967211486757317'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3908053935401628354/posts/default/4985967211486757317'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://phoenixkai.blogspot.com/2010/05/moons-of-fire.html' title='Test Page'/><author><name>Kaijudox(Krishnan)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18090732175054769387</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sYJQy2em6fA/SoAGgd4IeUI/AAAAAAAAAAM/EUtEpGMN8bg/S220/Tauros.PNG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3908053935401628354.post-1258046153349072678</id><published>2010-03-16T02:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-16T02:22:39.874-07:00</updated><title type='text'>HG RELEASES</title><content type='html'>On sunday, march 14th, the game released in the USA&lt;br /&gt;This is the link to the rom, enjoy playing.

I saw a link to a site, called anti pokemon. It was full of stuff like reasons for hating pokemon, pokemon is g**, pokemon is S*** etc. It had a lot of photos of Pikachu being dismembered etc. I'm not meaning to make the people who have done this change and become pokemon fans or anything, but why the hate and the anti pokemon.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Fine, I agree that they dont do anything to us pokemon fans, but whats the use in creating an anti pokemon site? Loads of anti pokemon fans go there to look at dismembered pictures of Pikachu. i dont care about what they do since they dont flame our sites either.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But look at the state of things in the world. Its just like Anti Pokemon, terrorists. I mean, pokemon is a just a video game with small creatures that evolve and stuff and lots of things to do. Its a fun RPG. Nintendo is selling merchandise like crazy such as pokemon cards, pillows clothes etc. So who cares, I mean, they're just trying to make profit. Its the world isn't it. You can't blame Nintendo for selling these things. Lots of people make profit, people other than nintendo, by putting pokemon on files of gadzooks sake.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Is terrorism needed in our soceity? I dont think so. Its a waste of time to prove ones rights or other stupid stuff. Some people say that pokemon goes against their RELIGIOUS BELIEFS! Thats just plain s***. Sorry for the swear word. Who cares about religion, in India we have, or mostly, unity in diversity. What did Mahatma Gandhi and Jinnah, in the very end, say about India? UNITY IN DIVERSITY!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;JAI HIND!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;JAI POKEMON!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3908053935401628354-5477290353375632176?l=phoenixkai.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://phoenixkai.blogspot.com/feeds/5477290353375632176/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://phoenixkai.blogspot.com/2010/02/why-hate-of-pokemon.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3908053935401628354/posts/default/5477290353375632176'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3908053935401628354/posts/default/5477290353375632176'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://phoenixkai.blogspot.com/2010/02/why-hate-of-pokemon.html' title='Why the Hate of Pokemon?'/><author><name>Kaijudox(Krishnan)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18090732175054769387</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sYJQy2em6fA/SoAGgd4IeUI/AAAAAAAAAAM/EUtEpGMN8bg/S220/Tauros.PNG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3908053935401628354.post-9196826948206838901</id><published>2010-02-16T05:01:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-16T05:01:17.430-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Some Jokes</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;;color:#333333"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;This is an answering machine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;; color:#333333"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a name="AdBriteInlineAd_message"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;; color:#006600"&gt;message&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bookmark:AdBriteInlineAd_message"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;; color:#333333"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;;color:#333333"&gt;for a school.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;;color:#333333"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;The outgoing message:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;Hello!

The first one said, "I hear the owner coming! Quick, jump out the window!" The second one said, "Are you crazy? We're on the thirteenth floor!" The first one said, "This is no time to be superstitious!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Joke No. 15&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;A chicken walks into a book store and says, "Book book book book book book." The person at the desk hands a book to the chicken and the chicken walks out. The next day the chicken walks into the book store again and says, "Book book book book book book." The person at the desk hands a book to the chicken and the chicken walks out. The same thing happens over and over and over through the week. The person at the desk starts to wonder what the chicken is doing with the books and he finally decides to follow the chicken next time. The next day the chicken walks into the store and says, "Book book book book book book." The guy behind the desk hands the chicken a book and the chicken walks out. The man follows the chicken into a forest with a long twisty path, after walking for a while the man comes to a pond and he sees the chicken and a frog. The chicken drops the book and says, "Book book book book book book." Then the frog says, "Read it, read it."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Joke No. 16&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;There was a man that was sitting in a recliner on the 1st floor of his house. It started to flood. 1 hour later a boat came and said "c'mon get in!" The man said "no, I have faith in God...he'll save me!", so the boat left.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;2 hours later he was forced to move to the 2nd floor. Another rescue boat came and said "c'mon get in". Again the man said "no, I have faith in God...he'll save me!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;3 hours later he was forced to move up on the roof. A helicopter came and said "c'mon get in". Again the man said "no, I have faith in God...he'll save me." 4 hours later he died and went to heaven and he asked St. Peter why God didn't save him. St. Peter said "He tried! He sent you 2 rescue boats and a helicopter!!!!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Joke No. 17&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;Michael comes back from school and says to his mom, "Mom, my teacher is interested in our family. At recess time, he asked me if I had any brothers or sisters and I told him that I didn't." "And what did he say?", asked his mother. He said, "Thank You God!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Joke No. 18&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;Three guys were stranded on an island. One day, a magic lamp washed ashore. A magic genie popped out. He said "I'll give each of you one wish."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;The 1st man said "I want to go back home"...he disappeared. The 2nd man said "I also want to go home"...he also disappeared. The third man looked around and felt lonely. He said "I want my 2 friends back to keep me company"!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Joke No. 19&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;Once there was a parrot and he swore like a sailor. He belonged to a goody-goody little old man. The old man said, "Parrot, if you don't stop swearing, I will put you in a box!" The parrot kept on swearing. So the little old man put him in a box. The parrot kicked the sides and scratched at the box until the old man took him out. The parrot kept on swearing. The little old man said, "If you don't stop swearing, I will put you in a cupboard!" The parrot kept right on swearing. So the little old man put the parrot in the cupboard. The parrot was kicking the walls and making a lot of racket until the little old man finally took him out. The parrot kept swearing so the little old man said, "If you keep swearing, I am going to put you in the freezer!" The parrot kept right on swearing so the little old man put him in the freezer. The bird was making quite a racket for about 5 minutes then it was all quiet. The Little Old Man was beginning to get scared, so he opened up the freezer. The bird quietly stepped out, his hands folded in front of him. He said, "I will be good as long as I live! By the way, what did the chicken do?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Joke No. 20&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;A moron was in a canoe trying to paddle it through a field. An idiot drives up and says, "what are you doing?" The moron says, "I'm trying to paddle through the water but it doesn't seem to be working." The idiot says, "If I knew how to swim I'd come out there and slap you silly!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;;color:#333333"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a name="AdBriteInlineAd_homes"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:15.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;;color:#006600"&gt;homes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bookmark:AdBriteInlineAd_homes"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:15.0pt; font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;;color:#333333"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;for a happy future. The girl's father started searching for the two&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;lovers but could not find them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;At last, he accepted their love and asked them to come back home in&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;a local newspaper. Her father said "If you both come back I will&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;allow you to marry the guy you love, I accept that you loved each&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;othertruly."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;So in this way, their love won and they returned home.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;The couple went t o town to shop for the wedding dress. He was&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;dressed in white shirt that day. While he was crossing the road to the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;other side to get some drinks for his wife, a car came and hit him and he died&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;on the spot. The girl lost her senses. It was only after sometimes that&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;she recovered from her shock. The funeral and cremation was the very&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;next day because he had died horribly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;Two nights later, the girl's mother had a dream in which she saw an&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;old lady. The old lady asked her mother to wash the blood stains of the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;guy from her daughter's dress as soon as possible. But her mother&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;ignored the dream.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;The next night her father had the same dream, he also ignored it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;Then when the girl had the same dream the next night, she woke up in&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;fear and told her mother about the dream. Her mother asked her to wash&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;the clothes which have blood stains immediately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;she washed t he stains but some remained. Next night she again had&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;the same dream she again washed the stains but some still remained.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;Next night she again had the same dream and this time the old lady&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;gave her a last warning to wash the blood stain, or else something&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;terrible will happen. This time the girl tried her best to wash the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;stains, and the clothes nearly tore, but some stains still remained.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;She was very tired.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;In the late evening the same day while she was alone at home,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;someone knocked the door. When she opened the door she saw the same old&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;lady of her dream standing at her door.

Last year a fresher electrical engineer upgraded his motherboard and CPU. He came down to dinner that evening and complained that his computer kept freezing up shortly after booting. We offered to take a look at it for him, but he insisted that he and his roommate could sort it out themselves. A week later the problem was still there, but his roommate had 'found out' that it was a problem with the sound card, so they were going to buy a new one the next day. I asked if I could just take a look at it before they bought it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;* Me: "What's that noise?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;* Him: "Oh, that's the CPU fan."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;* Me: "It shouldn't be vibrating like that."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;* Him: "It's fine."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;* Me: "No, it should be flush against the CPU and fixed firmly in place."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;* Him: "Don't worry. It's fine."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;After much persuasion, I got him to remove the case.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;* Me: "The fan's being held on by an elastic band!?!?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;* Him: "Yeah, the arm things snapped off when I was putting it back on."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;* Me: (as the rubber band starts to smolder): "Do you have ANY IDEA how hot a Pentium II gets??"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;* Him: "Look, the computer's frozen again. Can't wait to get that new sound card."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;It turned out he had tried to fit the fan on upside down. The fact that the arms only bent the other way didn't deter him, even when they snapped off. Of course the problem was a simple case of the CPU overheating. Now every time I now see him holding a screwdriver with a look of purpose on his face I want to run screaming.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;Two friends and I were standing around one day.

'Sand,' answered the Sardarji.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;Iqbal says, 'We'll just see about that.

He detains the sardarji all night and has the sand analyzed, only to discover that there is nothing but pure sand in the bags. Iqbal releases the sardaji, puts the sand into new bags, hefts them onto the sardarji's shoulders, and lets him cross the border.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;A week later, the same thing happens.

'Sand,' says the Sardarji.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;Iqbal does his thorough examination and discovers that the bags contain nothing but sand. He gives the sand back to the Sardar, and crosses the border on his bike. This sequence of events is repeated every day for three years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;Finally, the Sardarji doesn't show up one day and the guard, Iqbal, meets him in a 'Dhaba' in &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Islamabad&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;'Hey, Buddy,' says Iqbal, 'I know you are smuggling something. It's driving me crazy. It's all I think about...I can't sleep. Just between you and me, what are you smuggling?'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;The Sardaji, sips his Lassi and says, 'Bikes'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Race to the Sun:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;Two Sardarjis, both student of I.I.T, &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;Kanpur&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;, were talking about the American Astronauts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;One said to the other, "What's the big deal about going to the moon-anybody can go to the moon. We are sardars we will go direct to the sun."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;"But if we get within 13 million miles from the sun, we'll melt."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;And the first answered, "So what, we'll go at night."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;;color:#333333"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;;color:#333333"&gt;Sardar’s Reaction to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;; color:#333333"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a name="AdBriteInlineAd_train"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;; color:#006600"&gt;train&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bookmark:AdBriteInlineAd_train"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;; color:#333333"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;;color:#333333"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;A Sardar,who had never seen a train or the tracks they run on. While standing in the middle of the rail tracks one day, he hears this whistle -- Whooee da Whoee! -- but doesn't know what it is.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;Predictably, he's hit and is thrown to the side of the tracks. Fortunately he gets some minor injuries. After weeks in the hospital recovering, he's at his friend's house attending a party one evening. While in the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;kitchen, he suddenly hears the teakettle whistling. He grabs a iron rod from the nearby shelf and proceeds to batter and bash the teakettle into an unrecognizable lump of metal. His friend, rushes into the kitchen,sees what's happened and asks the desert man, "Why did you ruin my good tea kettle?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;The sardar replies, "Man, you gotta kill these&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a name="AdBriteInlineAd_things"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;;color:#006600"&gt;things&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bookmark:AdBriteInlineAd_things"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;; color:#333333"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;;color:#333333"&gt;when they're small."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;;color:#333333"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;;color:#333333"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;Sardar went to the appliance store sale and found a bargain. "I would like to buy this small TV," he told the salesman. "Sorry, we don't sell to SARDARs," he replied. He hurried home removed his turban and changed his&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;; color:#006600"&gt;hair&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;;color:#333333"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;; color:#333333"&gt;style, and returned to tell the salesman "I would like to buy this TV." "Sorry, we don't sell to Sardars," Salesman replied. "Damn, he recognized me," he thought. he went for a complete disguise this time, haircut and new hair color, new outfit, big sunglasses, then waited a few days before he again approached the salesman. "I would like to buy this TV." "Sorry, we don't sell to Sardars," he replied. Frustrated, he exclaimed "How do you know I'm a Sardar?" "Because that's a microwave," he replied.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;; color:#333333"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;;color:#333333"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;Two fast friends, Santa Singh and Banta Singh, were great cricket fanatics.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;They decided that whoever dies first will try to come back in the dreams of the other, and tell the other about the cricket scenario in the heaven.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;Santa Singh dies first. One day as Banta was fast sleep, he heard Santa calling him. He was very happy and was eager to know about cricket there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;"So, Santa! How is cricket in heaven?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;Santa replied, "Hey Banta, I have good news and bad news.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;The good news is that tomorrow we are going to have a day &amp;amp; night tournament here in heaven.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;And the bad news is that you are the opening bowler for tomorrow's match!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;An Englishman, an American and a Sardarji are&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;;color:#006600"&gt;called&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;; color:#333333"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;;color:#333333"&gt;upon to test a lie detector . The Englishman says: "I think I can empty 20 bottles of beer". BUZZZZZZ, goes the lie detector. "Ok", he says, "10 bottles". And the machine is silent. The American says: "I think I can eat 15 hamburgers". BUZZZZZZ, goes the lie detector. "All right, 8 hamburgers". And the machine's silent. The Sardarji says: "I think...", BUZZZZZZ goes the machine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;; color:#333333"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;;color:#333333"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;A Sardarji goes to a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a name="AdBriteInlineAd_hotel"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;; color:#006600"&gt;hotel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bookmark:AdBriteInlineAd_hotel"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;; color:#333333"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;;color:#333333"&gt;and eats heartily. After eating he goes to wash his hands but starts washing the basin instead. The manager comes running and asks him, "Prahji, aap kya kar rahe ho?"

I was minding my own business strolling through the forest hearing the starlys cry somewhere distant. The fog was lifting as the sun was about to enter its peak. This time of the day I’m very weak and I tend to go under cover or should I say into the underbrush. I slowly stroll along longing to see something that would change the stillness of the forest around me. That’s when it happened.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;I was just nearing the stream when I heard a wild cry. I quickened my pace and I looked through the bushes. I saw a flash of pink in the air and another pokemon smashing right into it. There were two trainers there. How I despise them. It appeared as if they were having a pokemon battle. One of the pokemon was a Gabite. The other one was near impossible to see. It streaked here and there smashing a Gabite’s sides, making him trip and sometimes an invisible smash would send it sprawling. The Gabite could take no more and he used the most deadly weapon in his arsenal, the Draco Meteor.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;He blasted out a giant orb of flaming madness from his mouth and it sprawled into the air and came straight down. The pink thing quickly dodged it but was taken aback by the force. That’s when I saw what it was. It was a female Espeon. From the battle you could see that it was highly trained. The Gabite was smashed backwards by the force of his own attack. It was over, the trainer who had the Espeon had won. I didn’t know what happened then but the Espeon got a quick glance at my eyes and I quickly withdrew myself. It felt exhilarating to look at those deep set, truth seeing eyes.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;       &lt;/span&gt;I didn’t see her again. But it was about a month later that I saw her again. I wanted to see her again and an opportunity had shown itself now. That day, I was running to the sunlit cliff. It was about to be sundown and my powers were getting relinquished by each falling ray of moonlight. But it was only rising just like the sun setting. So I only gained a small fraction of my true power. I looked over the cliff and saw the Espeon beating up a very strong Scizor. They were equal in speed and all I could see were blurs of motion smashing each other here and their. Every time I got to look at the way the Espeon battled, my heart beat a little faster. It was amazing, breathtaking even.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;         &lt;/span&gt;The Espeon was highly trained as I said before; it belonged to the niece of the Elite Four Champion. I disliked all trainers, but that’s a story from my past. If you would like to hear it, I shall narrate it. I wasn’t always an Umbreon; I was a small cute little obedient Eevee. I belonged to a boy trainer. He was an expert in battle and by his faith in me and skill, we won countless battles. I loved the trainer with every fiber in my body. Such was my happiness. It happened when we were crossing a rickety bridge. You would think that he probably slipped and fell but know. He had a rival, or an enemy you could say who wanted to beat him no matter what. He showed up and challenged my master to a battle. My master told him to they should get off the bridge first but the rival wanted to battle now. He threw my pokeball into battle and I leapt at the Charmeleon he sent out. The charmeleon spewed out great flames. I knew the flames would burn the ropes. So I concentrated to stay on one spot on the bridge. He sent a direct straight forward un-looping fire blast. I concentrated my energy and then used extreme speed which is one of the few rare moves my master taught me.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;The fire blast was destroyed and I smacked into the Charmeleon and he was knocked backwards. Suddenly the Charmeleon lost his footing, thought he was going to fall and launched a full scale fire spin. I couldn’t stop that. The rope frayed of course and we were sent tumbling to one side. Before we fell into the forest below, my master told me to extreme speed the two up there. I smacked into the charmeleon and his trainer onto the ledge before hurtling down into my master’s open arms. He caught me and we were falling in mid air. I used extreme speed to lower the speed of the fall. It was one of the techniques that came in handy. But for some strange reason my master looked at me, kissed me on the forehead and pushed me away. He fell at a great pace while I followed him. But I landed gently, but a few seconds before his master had smashed into the ground and he had heard the sickening crunch of his neck.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;       &lt;/span&gt;I stayed with my master and it was getting dark. He still didn’t die. He spent his last few minutes stroking me and kissed me on the forehead again before he fell limp. His hand gave way and his eyes looked on at something beyond normal human eyesight. Something that was distant and far away that we couldn’t see. The moonlight shone on me as I howled my sorrow and I evolved into an Umbreon. I felt that my master had betrayed me somehow but he hadn’t. I disliked trainers even if I did know they didn’t do anything. I couldn’t get the idea of my head.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;      &lt;/span&gt;Later I climbed down the cliff. The lady trainer had gone for a bath in the stream with the lady trainer she was fighting. I slowly walked over to where the Espeon was resting. She opened her eyes quickly and she jumped up. She looked at me in such a firm, piercing way that I was sure she was using Glare to paralyze me. I stood my distance. I asked her what her name was. She replied Sasha. When she asked me the same, I just said Chris, because that was my master’s name. She looked at me for a few minutes before she came near me. She gave me a berry. I was overcome with gratitude. No one could’ve shown such gratitude to an outcast such as myself. But there she was.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;I felt something click open in my heart then but I didn’t know what it was. After that fateful encounter, we became friends. Her trainer always came around here to do practice battles with her friends. After the battles me and Sasha would go into the forest and do something together. Some days we would go berry plucking or starly chasing. Or we might’ve just basked under the sun. Even though I didn’t enjoy it much, Sasha loved it. I liked her company so I stayed with her. Sometimes she would show me some moves she used in battle. That’s when she told me she could teach me how to battle.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;Every weekend after that, Sasha would conduct practice battles with me and teach me moves to use. My memory jogged and I still hadn’t lost the ability of extreme speed. This came to an advantage. Sasha knew I wasn’t some normal pokemon though. I learned the moves she taught me with ease because some of these moves were a mixed array of attacks I already learned. I grew stronger day by day and I was now resistant to the sunlight after basking in it day after day with Sasha. I still had my power ups during moonlight though.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;Sasha enjoyed playing with me even though I was very serious and not much of a joker. She said she liked pokemon like me. The lady trainer knew about me now and she would give me pokefood. I wouldn’t go near her much but I ate the food nevertheless. Sometimes when the other trainers came to battle, the lady trainer would ask me to battle with Sasha to make it a double battle. I would fight valiantly along with Sasha. But I didn’t have Sasha’s nature. I tore at the opponent, slashed him apart and sent him sprawling to the other side before he could even blink. And by the other side I mean the unconscious side of a pokemon. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;It was fun while it lasted. But then something attacked my lungs a few days before when I was playing with Sasha. It didn’t seem like much but I knew there was something eating me from the inside out. Something was snapping at my life bit by bit. Sasha quickly steadied me and head butted me and made me get back my breath again. I was thankful to her for that. But then the trainer was asked to come back to her hometown for good. So Sasha had to say goodbye. I was filled with sadness for the next few days and just sulked around my shelter, a small cave near the stream. A week later they departed. I decided I would follow them up to the nearby town.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;       &lt;/span&gt;I trailed behind Sasha. We both didn’t say much. When we got to the town, there was a pokemon festival. So we enjoyed some of the stuff there quietly in friendly silence. Me and Sasha stuck together hand in glove. We were sad to leave each other just when we were becoming the greatest friends ever. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;That night I said goodbye to Sasha and left but part of me wanted to see her. My lungs started to hurt again but it subsided. I watched her through the bushed careful not to be seen. She stood over a small bridge which was half crushed. The fireworks were being launched under the bright light of the full moon.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;I realized I hadn’t had much time left. So I quickly bounded over to Sasha and looked her in the eyes. She looked at me back and she understood why I came back. We had something else for each other even though we didn’t realize it. But the something in their hearts had opened together now. Out faces moved closer together and our lips met. We were locked in an embrace. Our souls intertwined together. And at that wonderful moment my lungs burst and I opened our kiss. I laid down in front of her and I said I was going to see Chris. She cried over my body as the moonlight became hidden under a cloud………………..&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3908053935401628354-6199709092320340375?l=phoenixkai.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://phoenixkai.blogspot.com/feeds/6199709092320340375/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://phoenixkai.blogspot.com/2010/02/moonlight-entangle.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3908053935401628354/posts/default/6199709092320340375'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3908053935401628354/posts/default/6199709092320340375'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://phoenixkai.blogspot.com/2010/02/moonlight-entangle.html' title='A Moonlight Entangle'/><author><name>Kaijudox(Krishnan)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18090732175054769387</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sYJQy2em6fA/SoAGgd4IeUI/AAAAAAAAAAM/EUtEpGMN8bg/S220/Tauros.PNG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3908053935401628354.post-5343521330219755454</id><published>2010-02-04T06:48:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-04T06:49:18.623-08:00</updated><title type='text'>PICTURES MADE FROM CAR DUST</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;

Wolves develop an exceptionally severe aggressive state when rabid and can bite numerous people in a single attack. Before a vaccine was developed, bites were almost always fatal. Today, wolf bites can be treated, but the severity of rabid wolf attacks can sometimes result in outright death, or a bite near the head will make the disease act too fast for the treatment to take effect. Rabid attacks tend to cluster in winter and spring. With the reduction of rabies in Europe and North America, few rabid wolf attacks have been recorded, though some still occur annually in the Middle East.&lt;sup id="cite_ref-Attacks_35-0" class="reference" style="line-height: 1em; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_Wolf#cite_note-Attacks-35" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;36&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; Wolves also carry the &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canine_coronavirus" title="Canine coronavirus" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;Canine coronavirus&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, infections being most prelevant in winter months.&lt;sup id="cite_ref-36" class="reference" style="line-height: 1em; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_Wolf#cite_note-36" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;37&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;Wolves in Russia have been recorded to carry over 50 different kinds of harmful &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitism" title="Parasitism" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;parasites&lt;/a&gt;, including &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echinococcus" title="Echinococcus" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;echinococcus&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cysticercosis" title="Cysticercosis" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;cysticercosis&lt;/a&gt;, and coenuri.&lt;sup id="cite_ref-ill_34-1" class="reference" style="line-height: 1em; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_Wolf#cite_note-ill-34" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;35&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; Wolves are also carriers of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinella_spiralis" title="Trichinella spiralis" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;Trichinella spiralis&lt;/a&gt;.

The majority of interactions between wolves and Brown Bears usually amount to nothing more than mutual avoidance. Serious confrontations depend on the circumstances of the interaction, though the most common factor is defence of food and young. Brown Bears will use their superior size to intimidate wolves from their kills and when sufficiently hungry, will raid wolf dens. Brown Bears usually dominate wolves on kills, though they rarely prevail against wolves defending den sites. Wolves in turn have been observed killing bear cubs, to the extent of even driving off the defending mother bears. Deaths in wolf/bear skirmishes are considered very rare occurrences, the individual power of the brown bear and the collective strength of the wolf pack usually being sufficient deterrents to both sides.&lt;sup id="cite_ref-interaction_78-3" class="reference" style="line-height: 1em; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_Wolf#cite_note-interaction-78" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;79&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; Encounters with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Black_Bear" title="American Black Bear" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;American Black Bears&lt;/a&gt; occur solely in the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americas" title="Americas" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;Americas&lt;/a&gt;; their interactions with wolves are much rarer than those of Brown Bears, due to differences in habitat preferences.

It is thought by certain experts that wolf numbers increased in the region after tigers were largely eliminated during the Russian colonization in the late 1800s and early 1900s. This is corroborated by native inhabitants of the region claiming that they had no memory of wolves inhabiting Sikohte-Alin until the 1930s, when tiger numbers decreased.&lt;sup id="cite_ref-Alin_94-0" class="reference" style="line-height: 1em; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_Wolf#cite_note-Alin-94" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;95&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; Tigers depress wolf numbers, either to the point of localized extinction or to such low numbers as to make them a functionally insignificant component of the ecosystem.

"&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dominance&lt;/b&gt; – A dominant wolf stands stiff legged and tall. The ears are erect and forward, and the hackles bristle slightly. Often the tail is held vertically and curled toward the back. This display asserts the wolf's rank to others in the pack. A dominant wolf may stare at a submissive one, pin it to the ground, "ride up" on its shoulders, or even stand on its hind legs.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Submission (active)&lt;/b&gt; – During active submission, the entire body is lowered, and the lips and ears are drawn back. Sometimes active submission is accompanied by muzzle licking, or the rapid thrusting out of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongue" title="Tongue" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;tongue&lt;/a&gt; and lowering of the hindquarters. The tail is placed down, or halfway or fully between the legs, and the muzzle often points up to the more dominant animal. The back may be partly arched as the submissive wolf humbles itself to its superior; a more arched back and more tucked tail indicate a greater level of submission.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Submission (passive)&lt;/b&gt; – Passive submission is more intense than active submission. The wolf rolls on its back and exposes its vulnerable &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throat" title="Throat" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;throat&lt;/a&gt; and underside. The paws are drawn into the body. This posture is often accompanied by whimpering.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Anger&lt;/b&gt; – An angry wolf's ears are erect, and its fur bristles. The lips may curl up or pull back, and the incisors are displayed. The wolf may also arch its back, lash out, or &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snarl" title="Snarl" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;snarl&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fear&lt;/b&gt; – A frightened wolf attempts to make itself look small and less conspicuous; the ears flatten against the head, and the tail may be tucked between the legs, as with a submissive wolf. There may also be whimpering or barks of fear, and the wolf may arch its back.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Defensive&lt;/b&gt; – A defensive wolf flattens its ears against its head.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Aggression&lt;/b&gt; – An aggressive wolf snarls and its fur bristles. The wolf may crouch, ready to attack if necessary.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Suspicion&lt;/b&gt; – Pulling back of the ears shows a wolf is suspicious. The wolf also narrows its eyes. The tail of a wolf that senses danger points straight out, parallel to the ground.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Relaxation&lt;/b&gt; – A relaxed wolf's tail points straight down, and the wolf may rest &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphinx" title="Sphinx" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;sphinx&lt;/a&gt;-like or on its side. The wolf may also wag its tail. The further down the tail droops, the more relaxed the wolf is.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tension&lt;/b&gt; – An aroused wolf's tail points straight out, and the wolf may crouch as if ready to spring.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Happiness&lt;/b&gt; – As dogs do, a wolf may wag its tail if in a joyful mood. The tongue may roll out of the mouth.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hunting&lt;/b&gt; – A wolf that is hunting is tensed, and therefore the tail is horizontal and straight.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Playfulness&lt;/b&gt; – A playful wolf holds its tail high and wags it. The wolf may &lt;a href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/frolic" class="extiw" title="wikt:frolic" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(51, 102, 187); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;frolic&lt;/a&gt; and dance around, or bow by placing the front of its body down to the ground, while holding the rear high, sometimes wagged.

Howling also helps to call pack members to a specific location. Howling can also serve as a declaration of territory, as shown in a dominant wolf's tendency to respond to a human imitation of a "rival" wolf in an area the wolf considers its own. This behavior is stimulated when a pack has something to protect, such as a fresh kill. As a rule of thumb, large packs will more readily draw attention to themselves than will smaller packs. Adjacent packs may respond to each others' howls, which can mean trouble for the smaller of the two. Wolves therefore tend to howl with great care.&lt;sup id="cite_ref-howl_101-0" class="reference" style="line-height: 1em; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_Wolf#cite_note-howl-101" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;102&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; Wolves will also howl for communal reasons.

This confusion of numbers makes a listening rival pack wary of what action to take. For example, confrontation could be disastrous if the rival pack gravely underestimates the howling pack's numbers. A wolf's howl may be heard from up to ten miles (16 km) away, depending on weather conditions. Observations of wolf packs suggest that howling occurs most often during the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight" title="Twilight" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;twilight&lt;/a&gt; hours, preceding the adults' departure to the hunt and following their return. Studies also show that wolves howl more frequently during the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeding_season" title="Breeding season" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;breeding season&lt;/a&gt; and subsequent rearing process.&lt;sup id="cite_ref-wolfsong-howl_102-0" class="reference" style="line-height: 1em; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_Wolf#cite_note-wolfsong-howl-102" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;103&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; The pups themselves begin howling soon after emerging from their dens and can be provoked into howling sessions easily over the following two months. Such indiscriminate howling usually is intended for communication, and does not harm the wolf so early in its life.&lt;sup id="cite_ref-howl_101-2" class="reference" style="line-height: 1em; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_Wolf#cite_note-howl-101" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;102&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; Howling becomes less indiscriminate as wolves learn to distinguish howling pack members from rival wolves.

Instead they use a low-key, breathy "whuf" sound which can measure from 320–904 Hz&lt;sup id="cite_ref-Arezzo_16-3" class="reference" style="line-height: 1em; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_Wolf#cite_note-Arezzo-16" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;17&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; to immediately get attention from other wolves. Wolves also "bark-howl" by adding a brief howl to the end of a bark. Wolves bark-howl for the same reasons they normally bark. Generally, pups bark and bark-howl much more frequently than adults, using these vocalizations to cry for attention, care, or food. A lesser known sound is the rally. Wolves will gather as a group and, amidst much tail-wagging and muzzle licking, emit a high-pitched wailing noise interspersed with something similar to (but not the same as) a bark. Rallying is often a display of submission to an alpha by the other wolves.&lt;sup id="cite_ref-104" class="reference" style="line-height: 1em; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_Wolf#cite_note-104" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;105&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; Wolves also whimper, a sound with a maximum range of 3,500 Hz,&lt;sup id="cite_ref-Arezzo_16-4" class="reference" style="line-height: 1em; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_Wolf#cite_note-Arezzo-16" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;17&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; usually when submitting to other wolves.
