Seeing Robert Duvall's crazy hermit hair on the back of the DVD case for Get Low made me want to see this movie. In Schneider's movie, Duvall has lived alone for 40 years in the Tennesses backwoods trying to pay penance for some past actions that are slowly revealed throughout the movie. During those 40 years, the townspeople have passed along a lot of stories about what he has done and why he lives alone. He has also become the destination for dares amongst the children who are afraid of him, but also intrigued by the mystery.
Feeling his mortality, Duvall decides to commission a funeral party, but one which he will attend, alive. Bill Murray, an owner of a funeral parlor, decides to make it happen. The prickly and humorous interactions between Murray and Duvall are fun to watch.

Fifth Division

|Fifth Division
Fifth Division (第五部隊, Daigo Butai)
|Volume #55, Naruto Chapter #515
|Naruto Shippūden Episode #256
|Appears in
|Anime, Manga
|Team Info
The Fifth Division (第五部隊, Daigo Butai), also known as the Special Battle Division (戦闘特別部隊, Sentō Tokubetsu Butai) is a battalion in the Allied Shinobi Forces led by the Land of Iron samurai leader Mifune, which is composed entirely of ninja whom specialise in hidden techniques, and was formed in preparation for the Fourth Shinobi World War.
Upon its formation, the Fifth Division disperses itself along the whole length of the Land of Lightning's peninsula. Whenever another Division is in need of assistance, the nearest partition of the Fifth Division is sent to give support. A group consisting of Shino Aburame, Hana and Kiba Inuzuka and their dogs meet up with the Second Division to help eliminate an underground portion of the White Zetsu Army.[1] A second group, which includes Ino Yamanaka, joins elements of the Second and Fourth Divisions in providing backup to the overwhelmed First Division.[2]
Mifune personally leads a group of his samurai in assisting the Surprise Attack Division. They arrive just in time to stop a reincarnated Hanzō from killing Kankurō. Part of their group heals Kankurō and his men, others engage Chiyo and Kimimaro, and Mifune focuses his efforts on Hanzō. After first neutralising Ibuse, Mifune defeats Hanzō, who resolves to commit seppuku, giving the Sealing Team a chance to restrain him. Then they focus their efforts on sealing the other reincarnated shinobi.
As the first day of battle ends, Neji falls down due to the overuse of his Byakugan, so Kiba tells him to go to the medical tents and get treated while he's in charge of watching over any enemies' sign. Neji insists he's fine, but can no longer discern between Kiba and Akamaru. Neji rests on Akamaru's back as the others keep on the lookout.
Seemingly able to defeat all the impostors, they were later instructed to provide backup for Naruto and Killer B on their battlefield.

Hi everyone Im back again. I posted the first bit of this post on the previous thread as thats where the things were that I was commenting on. But its very pleasing to see a few more people posting again especially now theres a male on the forum as well.
Tash Thanks again for coming to the rescue and starting a new thread for us once again. I think youre doing the wise thing in holding off from getting too many new plants until youre well and truly sure the cause of your problems have been sorted out.
I love the Neo. Purple Star though, its certainly one to be admired, and like Wendy I have a few which Im hanging on to as well. I could sell everyone of them as quick as a wink because everyone who sees them wants to buy them. Was that one from our mutual friends collection? She had a really good clone of it and she does grow good quality Neos. I have a few others from different growers and although not as good, theyre all still nice.
Wendy Just beware of these pains in the back when you have a cold; if its just the usual aches and pains, no problem, but if its a sharp pain it could be the start of pleurisy and you need to see a doctor quick smart or it will lay you low a lot longer than a cold will.
You say you have a problem with Johnny flicking channels on the T.V; well I have the same problem with my wife. The thing is she can watch two programmes at once and still follow them, when I complain Im told I should learn to multi-skill like a woman!
Im a bit like you Wendy and have to rely on a note book to remember things as well. The only problem is I often forget where I put the bloody note book!
Ive seen pictures of trees loaded with Tills in other peoples collections as well; infact our president had a Bottle Brush at the front of his house on which he mounted three Tills a few years back; now there are Till. Seedlings popping up all over the place and it makes you wonder that if they started up in the bush somewhere could they become feral like the old mans whiskers has in some areas?
Shirley I like your Neo Peggy Bailey, its a fine example of an albo-marginated plant. And I dont think I can say anything about Purple Star that hasnt already been said. With Neo Midnight (previously called Voo Doo), you can get all of the green markings out of the foliage if you want to by growing it in a pretty much shaded area, in fact it will be that close to black that its hard to see it isnt.
As for the collection belonging to Nina and Jarka Rehak which I spoke of in the previous thread, yes they did it all themselves but I think Nina is the main designer, she never stops. I havent got any pics but if I get up there again Ill take some but its so steep its hard to capture it and show it accurately.
Well Id better finish as Ive already written a bit on the previous page so a few more pics of Lyndis Singapore Garden to finish up with.
All the best, Nev.

If the Secretary determines that all of the required information does not appear to be contained in the application, the Secretary shall notify the applicant and take no further action with respect to the application until such deficiencies have been remedied.
(2) Each application shall include such financial, technical, and other information as the Secretary deems necessary or appropriate. Such information shall include, but need not be limited to—
(A) the name, address, citizenship, telephone number, and the ownership interest in the applicant, of each person having any ownership interest in the applicant of greater than 3 per centum;

(d) Application area; publication in Federal Register; "application area" defined; submission of other applications; notice of intent and submission of completed applications; denial of pending application prior to consideration of other untimely applications
(1) At the time notice of an application is published pursuant to subsection (c) of this section, the Secretary shall publish a description in the Federal Register of an application area encompassing the deepwater port site proposed by such application and within which construction of the proposed deepwater port would eliminate, at the time such application was submitted, the need for any other deepwater port within that application area.

Such application area shall not exceed a circular zone, the center of which is the principal point of loading and unloading at the port, and the radius of which is the distance from such point to the high water mark of the nearest adjacent coastal State.
(3) The Secretary shall accompany such publication with a call for submission of any other applications for licenses for the ownership, construction, and operation of a deepwater port within the designated application area. Persons intending to file applications for such license shall submit a notice of intent to file an application with the Secretary not later than 60 days after the publication of notice pursuant to subsection (c) of this section and shall submit the completed application no later than 90 days after publication of such notice.

(2) An application filed with the Secretary shall constitute an application for all Federal authorizations required for ownership, construction, and operation of a deepwater port. At the time notice of any application is published pursuant to subsection (c) of this section, the Secretary shall forward a copy of such application to those Federal agencies and departments with jurisdiction over any aspect of such ownership, construction, or operation for comment, review, or recommendation as to conditions and for such other action as may be required by law. Each agency or department involved shall review the application and, based upon legal considerations within its area of responsibility, recommend to the Secretary, the approval or disapproval of the application not later than 45 days after the last public hearing on a proposed license for a designated application area. In any case in which the agency or department recommends disapproval, it shall set forth in detail the manner in which the application does not comply with any law or regulation within its area of responsibility and shall notify the Secretary how the application may be amended so as to bring it into compliance with the law or regulation involved.
(f) NEPA compliance
For all applications, the Secretary, in cooperation with other involved Federal agencies and departments, shall comply with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4332) [42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.]. Such compliance shall fulfill the requirement of all Federal agencies in carrying out their responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 pursuant to this chapter.
(g) Public notice and hearings; evidentiary hearing in District of Columbia; decision of Secretary based on evidentiary record; consolidation of hearings
A license may be issued only after public notice and public hearings in accordance with this subsection. At least one such public hearing shall be held in each adjacent coastal State. Any interested person may present relevant material at any hearing. After hearings in each adjacent coastal State are concluded if the Secretary determines that there exists one or more specific and material factual issues which may be resolved by a formal evidentiary hearing, at least one adjudicatory hearing shall be held in accordance with the provisions of section 554 of title 5 in the District of Columbia. The record developed in any such adjudicatory hearing shall be basis for the Secretary's decision to approve or deny a license. Hearings held pursuant to this subsection shall be consolidated insofar as practicable with hearings held by other agencies. All public hearings on all applications for any designated application area shall be consolidated and shall be concluded not later than 240 days after notice of the initial application has been published pursuant to subsection (c) of this section.
(h) Nonrefundable application fee; processing costs; State fees; "land-based facilities directly related to a deepwater port facility" defined; fair market rental value, advance payment
(1) Each person applying for a license pursuant to this chapter shall remit to the Secretary at the time the application is filed a nonrefundable application fee established by regulation by the Secretary. In addition, an applicant shall also reimburse the United States and the appropriate adjacent coastal State for any additional costs incurred in processing an application.
(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, and unless prohibited by law, an adjacent coastal State may fix reasonable fees for the use of a deepwater port facility, and such State and any other State in which land-based facilities directly related to a deepwater port facility are located may set reasonable fees for the use of such land-based facilities. Fees may be fixed under authority of this paragraph as compensation for any economic cost attributable to the construction and operation of such deepwater port and such land-based facilities, which cannot be recovered under other authority of such State or political subdivision thereof, including, but not limited to, ad valorem taxes, and for environmental and administrative costs attributable to the construction and operation of such deepwater port and such land-based facilities. Fees under this paragraph shall not exceed such economic, environmental, and administrative costs of such State. Such fees shall be subject to the approval of the Secretary. As used in this paragraph, the term "land-based facilities directly related to a deepwater port facility" means the onshore tank farm and pipelines connecting such tank farm to the deepwater port facility.
(3) A licensee shall pay annually in advance the fair market rental value (as determined by the Secretary of the Interior) of the subsoil and seabed of the Outer Continental Shelf of the United States to be utilized by the deepwater port, including the fair market rental value of the right-of-way necessary for the pipeline segment of the port located on such subsoil and seabed.
(i) Application approval; period for determination; priorities; criteria for determination of application best serving national interest
(1) The Secretary shall approve or deny any application for a designated application area submitted pursuant to this chapter not later than 90 days after the last public hearing on a proposed license for that area.
(2) In the event more than one application is submitted for an application area, the Secretary, unless one of the proposed deepwater ports clearly best serves the national interest, shall issue a license according to the following order of priorities:
(A) to an adjacent coastal State (or combination of States), any political subdivision thereof, or agency or instrumentality, including a wholly owned corporation of any such government;
(B) to a person who is neither
(ii) an affiliate of any person who is engaged in producing, refining, or marketing oil or an affiliate of any such affiliate;
(3) In determining whether any one proposed deepwater port clearly best serves the national interest, the Secretary shall consider the following factors:
(A) the degree to which the proposed deepwater ports affect the environment, as determined under criteria established pursuant to section 1505 of this title;
(B) any significant differences between anticipated completion dates for the proposed deepwater ports; and
(4) The Secretary shall approve or deny any application for a deepwater port for natural gas submitted pursuant to this chapter not later than 90 days after the last public hearing on a proposed license.

Comments about American Technologies Network ATN PS23-4 4th Generation Night Vision Goggles:
My wife got these for me as a fortieth birthday present. We live in suburbs where there is a lot of street lighting, etc. It's hard for me to find a place where it's really dark to give the device a full workout.
They really do work, though. Pretty amazing. Going to let out son take the goggles to the next Burning Man thing, and I'll ask him to do an update, maybe.
Very prompt shipping.

Greenglass College is the major university servicing Las Venturas, San Andreas and the surrounding areas. It is located in the Blackfield district in the southwest of the city, adjacent to the Blackfield Intersection. Only minutes away to the west is Hunter Quarry, while minutes away to the north, along Julius Thruway West, is Las Venturas Airport and Blackfield Stadium. Students can always be seen frequenting this attractive, yet isolated campus.

- One Horseshoe - At the center of the campus.
- The building closely resembles the Rockstar North Headquarters, which is likely why it is included in the game as the rather extravagant-looking structure serves no purpose in the game except as a pick-up location for a couple of items.
- The college is named after David Greenglass, an American-born Soviet spy who worked in the Manhattan project.

In December of 1975, George and Kathleen Lutz bought a house located at 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York. The house was purchased for what seemed to be a ridiculously low price – $80,000. The six-bedroom house had a boathouse, a swimming pool, a gambrel roof, and it was located on a canal. Overall, it was a deal that was simply too good to pass up, even when George and Kathleen Lutz learned that the previous owners, the DeFeo family, were murdered the previous November.
The Lutz family moved into the house on December 19th, 1975. It was a quick transition, since they had purchased most of the DeFeos furniture in the deal. When a friend of George Lutz learned of the DeFeo murders, the friend recommended that George have a priest bless the house. George and Kathleen contacted a local practicing priest, Father Ralph J. Pecoraro.
The priest arrived some time later and began his blessing rites. When Father Pecoraro splashed the first holy water and began to pray, he heard a masculine voice command that he get out. Father Pecoraro left the haunted house, without any mention of the incident to the Lutz family. Some days later, Father Pecoraro phoned George Lutz and told him to stay out of the room where he had heard the commanding voice. Before the conversation could continue, static cut into the call and it was dropped. Father Pecoraro developed a high fever and blisters on his hands over the next few days.
Here is an audio recording of Father Pecoraro detailing his experience in 112 Ocean Avenue:
George and Kathy Lutz lived in the house for only 28 days. During their time there, they experienced a variety of paranormal phenomena:
- Swarms of flies plagued the house, despite winter weather.
- Unexplainable cold spots and odors of excrement throughout the house.
- Kathy Lutz felt sensations of being embraced.
- George Lutz would awake and go out to the boathouse at 3:15 AM every morning. It was later learned that this was the suspected time of the DeFeo murders.
- The Lutzs five-year-old daughter developed an imaginary friend named Jodie, which is suspected to be a demonic pig-like creature with glowing red eyes.
- Large cloven hoofprints were seen in the snow on January 1st, 1976.
- Green slime occasionally oozed from the walls of the house.
- Kathy Lutz received red welts on her chest from an unseen force stopping on her.
- A small room was discovered in the basement. Its walls were painted completely red, and the Lutzs dog would cower in fear whenever it approached the room.
- Kathy had vivid nightmares depicting the murders of the DeFeo family.
- Doors were heard slamming throughout the house, waking George from his sleep. No other family member heard or awoke to the sounds.
The Lutz family eventually attempted to bless the house, without the aid of a priest, hoping to quell the angry spirits. During the blessing, George heard a chanting of voices saying, Will you stop? The blessing did very little to negate the paranormal phenomena.
In January, after another attempt to bless the house, George and Kathy fled from the house and never returned. When asked to describe their final night at 112 Ocean Avenue, George and Kathy declined any comment and simply said that the events weretoo frightening.
Jay Anson, the author of The Amityville Horror: A True Story, based the title of his book on The Dunwich Horror, a story by H.P. Lovecraft.

Police briefs for Sunday, July 13

Driver rear-ends patrol car
SUMMERFIELD — A driver was ticketed for crashing into the back of a deputy's patrol vehicle Friday night.
Authorities said Deputy Justin Tortora was patrolling northbound on U.S. 301 in Summerfield when he was rear-ended by another vehicle. Tortora was not injured in the crash that occurred on South U.S. 301, just north on County Road 42.
Florida Highway Patrol troopers, who investigated the crash, ticketed Un Chu Staley of Summerfield for careless driving. Staley was taken to The Villages Regional Hospital complaining of knee pain, officials said.
Ocala teen accused of stealing
An 18-year-old was arrested for stealing an alcoholic beverage from a gas station, while two other juveniles who were with the arrested teen were detained, but later released to their parents' custody on Friday.
A clerk at a Kangaroo gas station at 5986 W. Silver Springs Blvd. told Officer T. Barry that three people, later identified as Adiel Lagunas-Josey, 18, and two minors — ages 12 and 15 — were ducking behind shelves, trying to hide from the clerk.
The employee said she was able to see their reflections from the cooler doors and noticed Josey put an alcoholic drink under his shirt and later in his pocket. One of the juveniles also opened the cooler, removed an adult beverage and tried to hide it.
The clerk said she told them to return the beverages or she would call police. The juvenile who took the beverage put it on a shelf, while Josey went to the counter with packs of gum.
Josey paid for the gum, but not the beverage that he had in his pocket, according to the report. The clerk asked Josey about the beverage, and all three fled the store. Police were then notified.
Barry saw the trio at the intersection of Northwest 55th Avenue and First Street. Seeing the officer's patrol car, Josey reached into his pocket and threw something into a nearby wooded area. The officer detained Josey and one of the minors. The second minor ran.Officer Ryan Legget caught him, and all three were taken to the store, where the clerk confirmed their identites.
Officials said they detected alcohol on Josey's breath and his eyes were glassy. They also recovered the item he allegedly had stolen, which was a watermelon-flavored 23.5-ounce Four Loco alcoholic beverage worth $2.99.
Josey was charged with retail petit theft and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The boys were handed over to their parents and no charges were filed against them.

Transgender high school students in Maine will now be able to play for sports teams that match their gender identity. The Maine Principals' Association yesterday gave final approval to the new policy.
Until now, students in Maine could only participate on sports teams according to their biological gender. There were certain exceptions that allowed girls to try out for boys' teams when there was not an equivalent girls' team. But Dick Durost, of the Maine Principals' Association, says that if a transgender athlete who identified as male wanted to swim or play basketball, his only option was to play for a girls' team.
"Within the last year or so I've had a couple requests from transgender students to consider looking at present policy to see whether we might be able to address some of their needs and concerns," Durost says.
Durost found that there are only a handful of states that have policies designed to accommodate transgender student-athletes. Those include Vermont, Colorado and Washington state. Durost says the Maine Principals' Association drew on those states' guidelines and experiences in putting together its Transgender Participation Policy, which was approved overwhelmingly by schools that are members of the MPA.
"There was one vote opposed to the policy, so that's the kind of support that it had," he says.
Under the new policy, transgender students will have to submit a request to the school, along with documentation that their gender identity differs from the biological sex they were assigned at birth. The school will then request a confidential hearing before an MPA Gender Identity Equity Committee.
"The request will be granted unless the committee determines that it's not a bona fide or legitimate request, or if there is the danger of an undue athletic competitive advantage, or the risk of harm or injury to others," Durost says.
Durost cites the example of a student athlete who's 6-feet 2-inches tall, and 250 pounds, born male but who identifies as female, joining a girls' softball or field hockey team. That, he says, could potentially present an unfair or unsafe situation for the other athletes on the team, or on competing teams.
But Durost says he thinks such a case would be rare. And Melanie Craig, the athletic director at Deering High School in Portland, agrees. She is highly supportive of the new policy, and says the point is to create fairness.
"It's nice to see the MPA be proactive," she says. "This is a policy that - it was time. There's been some national cases. And it's nice that we're being proactive to make sure that we're taking care of all of our student athletes."
Craig says she doesn't know of any students at Deering who will make use of the policy. The MPA'S Dick Durost says there are at least one or two transgender students at almost every high school in the state. But he says he doesn't expect the association to be overrun with requests.
"It's simply there as an option to be available for a student who is transgender, has an interest in athletics, and desires to access this policy," he says.
The Transgender Participation Policy goes into effect immediately. It applies to the more than 150 public and private schools that are members of the Maine Principals' Association.

Heather Corinna replies:
My girlfriend and I have been having sex for awhile but recently she had her period. And we both couldn't wait so we had sex during it without a condom. Could she still get pregnant even during her period?
Yes, she could. As well, the same -- and sometimes slightly higher -- STI risks are present during menstruation as any other time.
For most women, pregnancy is substantially less likely from intercourse that happens during menses than from intercourse at other times. However, since sperm can live in the vagina for several days, and some women ovulate early in their cycles, for some women, unprotected sex during menses -- especially at the very end of it -- can be just as much of a pregnancy risk as during other times of the fertility cycle.
So, if this happened less than 120 hours ago, and your partner does NOT want to become pregnant, we'd advise she obtain emergency contraception as soon as possible.
And in the future, I strongly urge you not to gamble with pregnancy and STI risks, especially considering how easy it is to be more responsible about sex. It's very easy to keep condoms handy at all times and always use them, and it's also easy to just stick to outercourse and other activities -- things like mutual masturbation, dry sex, even manual sex -- which don't present these risks if you want to be sexually active when you don't have latex barriers around.

Yin–Yang Release
this wiki
The Yin–Yang Release (陰陽遁, Onmyōton, In'yōton, English TV: Shadow and Light Style)[1][2] techniques make simultaneous use of Yin Release and Yang Release. Yin relates to one's spiritual energy and Yang relates to one's physical energy and it's necessary to utilise both of these in order to mould chakra for ninjutsu. According to Yamato, the manipulation of Yin and Yang is the source of non-elemental techniques such as the Shadow Imitation Technique, Multi-Size Technique, medical ninjutsu, genjutsu, etc.[3] Conversely, while forming the basis of use of ninjutsu, as Tobirama Senju noted, Yin–Yang also has the ability to nullify the effects of all ninjutsu rendering them useless.[4]
The Sage of the Six Paths had such a mastery over the Yin–Yang Release that he used Yin to create form from nothing, and then used Yang to breath life into what he has created.[1] According to Tobi, the Sage's ability was called Creation of All Things (万物創造, Banbutsu Sōzō), which he employed to create the tailed beasts out of the chakra from the Ten-Tails.[1] The technique Izanagi is based on this ability.
Madara Uchiha has insinuated that Yin–Yang Release was involved in the creation of White Zetsu and his clone siblings.[5] Obito Uchiha, after becoming the jinchūriki and gaining control of the Ten-Tails, uses Yin–Yang Release to create a malleable substance which could negate the effects of ninjutsu.[4]

Talk:Anko Mitarashi
Back to page
this wiki
Land of the Sea arc
Is it really necessary to have information from this filler up despite contradicting with the manga canon? in my opinion, it should be removed or at least having a headline put on top, to make it clear that it's not official.
- According to the manga, Orochimaru was still a "loyal" Konoha Ninja AT LEAST/CIRCA 6 years after Minato's death, thus Anko had "abandoned" village with him as 17 years old at earliest.... that contradicts with her being a child in anime during "that time"
- Another proof is Jugo's age, hopefully I don't have to calculate as it's clear.
It brings two issues:
- false information listed in the article
- there's a chance that Kishi might explain the canonical circumstances of why did she leave etc. thus both the anime-manga version can't stay I guess. EDIT:
This has been discussed a few times already, never concluded, often ignored. I think it's very important--Elveonora (talk) 22:58, November 4, 2012 (UTC)
As the only (probably) Anko expert in this wiki, I did do the math, and because the Land of the Sea Arc is a filler, it does make things quite confusing and false for Anko's backstory. However, the idea of removing does not suit well with me. Despite it not being canon to the actual plotline, it still needs to be noted, seeing it is the first and (possibly as of now until Kishi-sensei decides to give her background, which he better or I'm going to be mad!) only inside look of her past. Besides, the article clearly lists "In the anime..." during the parts that lists what happened in the filler arc already. Honestly, I don't really know what do with the article. I do know we shouldn't remove from what we saw in the anime.--NinjaSheik 17:12, November 6, 2012 (UTC)
The filler picture has already been removed. That's good, but now I'm not sure about quotes... the last 2 are filler. I don't remember the manga ever getting into such detail about the relationship between her and Orochimaru. Shouldn't they be just canonical to define and showcase the character?--Elveonora (talk) 21:02, November 6, 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, you're right. I put them there a long time ago, but you can remove them, if you wish.--NinjaSheik 21:13, November 6, 2012 (UTC)
age again
No, I didn't miss the above topics. No databook = no age. But, she is clearly 24 in Part I. thus no 23-24 or 24-25. so we don't have to be afraid of making a mistake due to months. Another reason is, for her birthday being in October, just like Naruto's, thus once the latter turns 17, she will be 28 only 2 weeks later. Since Naruto is 16 at the moment in the story (unless Kishi updates and 4th databook or manga says otherwise) Anko is 27. Why don't we list it when it's a given? Funny as there's no problem with Mei being in her "30's "--Elveonora (talk) 16:21, November 6, 2012 (UTC)
Well, I thought about the same thing a while back, but rules are rules. As much I wanna change it, can't do that without everyone's agreement.--NinjaSheik 17:06, November 6, 2012 (UTC)
Her age is 100% correct, I say hypocrisy since Mei's age is only "circa" and Killer B's only guessed/estimated... sounds like double standards--Elveonora (talk) 21:06, November 6, 2012 (UTC)
Well, you do have a point, but this subject has been debated about for a while now, so I don't know what to do...--NinjaSheik 21:15, November 6, 2012 (UTC)
Where is Anko
so i am confused did Sasuke leave Anko in that cave after reviving Orochimaru
