It's a neighborly day in this beautywood,
A neighborly day for a beauty,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?

I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you,
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.

are in danger, and if the mother bear feels personally threatened or if it's a habitual bear looking for human food and is willing to take what it wants.

Their nose is their guide; Black Bears have an exceptional sense of smell. Comparable to both dogs and cats, bears have the ability to sense a present danger up to a mile away and like the feline and K9 crowd, black bears can sense friend or foe more by what they can smell, than see. And what do they like to smell the most? Anything they can eat!

From spring through summer they eat when it suits them and enjoy napping a lot, when fall approaches they stuff themselves on forest harvests in order to build up an adequate layer of nourishing fat for the winter season. During winter they mostly sleep but not a true hibernation. Black Bears of the Southern Appalachian's (Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains) are more active during winter season due to the warmer southern climate. An actual hibernation consists of lower body temperature, heart rate, breathing rate and blood pressure. Black Bears go into a winter sleep though their body temperature and metabolism stay near normal.

They wake up at times after long periods of sleep and will leave the den for short strolls then return for more deep sleep. I wouldn't try waking one, and you should never count on them not being aware of your presence while they are sleeping. Mothers have their cubs when in hibernation and can always sense an intrusion…(click)

…….. sweetly singing
For the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss their white laced lips

And you see a girl's brown body dancing through the turquoise
And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea
And when your fingers find her she drowns you in her body
Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind

The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter

Her name is Aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell
And you know you cannot leave her
For you touched the distant sands with tales of brave Ulysses
How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing

The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter

when Stewie obtains plutonium to power the return pad, Bertram learns of the time machine and sneaks into the Griffin house to kill Stewie's ancestor in order to prevent him from being born. Unfortunately, as Stewie and Brian discover, by preventing the former from being born, then Stewie would not have been able to start the Big Bang, thereby creating a paradox that begins to wipe everything from existence.

Brian and Stewie go back to fifteen minutes before Bertram arrives to stop him from killing Stewie's ancestor, revealed to be Leonardo da Vinci. Stewie guesses that given that Bertram and he share the same DNA, he must have come this far back to eliminate Stewie without affecting his own existence. After a vigorous fight, Bertram has all three of them at crossbow point. Despite being warned that he could destroy all existence, Bertram does not care and shoots da Vinci with a crossbow. In rage, Stewie shoots Bertram in the head and chest with the same crossbow, killing him.

Despite the fact that da Vinci is dead, the universe is still existing. Stewie then concludes that he must be his own ancestor. He sends Brian back to the present, where a letter from the Vatican arrives, detailing that Stewie has buried himself in a cryogenic tube underneath the Griffin household. Once he is unearthed and thawed, Stewie informs Brian he put his DNA into a syringe and injected it into da Vinci's girlfriend. Stewie brings back a candle from da Vinci's time, but Brian would rather have had him bring back one of da Vinci's original notebooks, surprised at Stewie…(click)

ty is often called for lesser infractions such as tripping, elbowing, roughing, high-sticking, delay of the game, too many players on the ice, boarding, illegal equipment, charging (leaping into an opponent or body-checking him after taking more than two strides), holding, interference, hooking, slashing, butt-ending (striking an opponent with the knob of the stick—a very rare penalty) or cross-checking.

As of the 2005–06 season, a minor is also assessed for diving, where a player embellishes a hook or trip. More egregious fouls may be penalized by a four-minute double-minor penalty, particularly those which cause injury to the victimized player. These penalties end either when the time runs out or the other team scores on the power play.

In the case of a goal scored during the first two minutes of a double-minor, the penalty clock is set down to two minutes upon a score effectively expiring the first minor penalty. Five-minute major penalties are called for especially violent instances of most minor infractions that result in intentional injury to an opponent, or when a "minor" penalty results in visible injury (such as bleeding), as well as for fighting. Major penalties are always served in full; they do not terminate on a goal scored by the other team. The foul of 'boarding', defined as "check[ing] an opponent in such a manner that causes the opponent to be thrown violently in the boards" by the NHL Rulebook is penalized either by a minor or major penalty at the discretion of the referee, based on the violence of the hit. A minor or major penalty for boarding is also often assessed when a player checks an opponent from behind and into the boards.

Some varieties of penalties do not always require the offending team to play a man short. Concurrent five-minute major penalties in the NHL usually result from fighting. In the case of two players being assessed five-minute fighting majors, they both serve five minutes without their team incurring a loss of player (both teams still have a full complement of players on the ice). This differs with two players from opposing sides getting minor penalties, at the same time or at any intersecting…(click)

(also known as John Carpenter's The Thing) is a 1982 science fiction horror film directed by John Carpenter, written by Bill Lancaster, and starring Kurt Russell. The film's title refers to its primary antagonist: a parasitic extraterrestrial life form that assimilates other organisms and in turn imitates them. It infiltrates an Antarctic research station, taking the appearance of the researchers that it kills, and paranoia occurs within the group.

Ostensibly a remake of the classic 1951 Howard Hawks-Christian Nyby film The Thing from Another World, Carpenter's film is in fact a more faithful adaptation of the novella Who Goes There? by John W. Campbell, Jr. which inspired the 1951 film, and not a remake in the conventional sense. Carpenter considers The Thing to be the first part of his Apocalypse Trilogy, followed by Prince of Darkness and In the Mouth of Madness. Although the films are unrelated, each features a potentially apocalyptic scenario; should "The Thing" ever reach civilization, it would be only a matter of time before it consumes humanity and takes over the Earth…(click)

is a 1999 American epic space opera film written and directed by George Lucas. It is the fourth film to be released in the Star Wars saga, as the first of a three-part prequel to the original Star Wars trilogy, as well as the first film in the saga in terms of story chronology. The Phantom Menace was also Lucas' first product as a film director after 22 years, and only his fourth overall. The film follows the Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi, who escort and protect Queen Amidala in traveling from the planet Naboo to the planet Coruscant in the hope of finding a peaceful end to a large-scale interplanetary trade dispute. Along the way, they meet Anakin Skywalker, a young slave boy who seems to be unusually strong with nascent powers of The Force, and must contend with the mysterious return of the Sith.

Lucas began production of this motion picture after he had concluded that the science of movie special effects had advanced to the level of what he wanted for his fourth film in the Saga. Its filming took place during 1997 at various locations including Leavesden Film Studios and the Tunisian desert. Its special effects included extensive use of computer-generated imagery (CGI), with some of its characters and its settings being completely computerized and not existing at all in the real world…(click)

looming in the near future like any expectant mother, Panang the elephant wants the very best for her baby, which is evident as she carefully performs her maternity exercises.

Guided by her minder Andi Fries, the 20-year-old elephant did a series of stretches in her pen at the Tierpark Hellabrunn Zoo in Munich.

Panang, who is nearing the end of her two-year gestation period, is due to give birth this month or next.

Zoo keepers are anxious about the birth as Panang has been pregnant twice before – but both calves were stillborn.

Stillbirths are common among elephants, who experience difficult labors, sometimes resulting in the baby becoming stuck between the womb and the pelvis.

Indeed some captive elephants have been discovered to carry mummified fetal remains in their wombs for years.

While emergency Caesareans have been attempted, the procedure is always at the expense of the life of the mother.

Which is why Panang is being put through her regimen of stretching and strengthening exercises, designed to ensure that her calf does not grow too big and to help her build up the muscles she will rely on during labor.

Elephants in captivity usually have their legs tethered during labor to prevent them from hurting themselves or their handlers.

Once the delivery is complete, mother and calf are given space and privacy to bond…(click)
