If the stress in your life is more than you can cope with, get help right away.
The holidays are over and we're now into the sometimes bleak months of the new year. The word "January" comes from the Roman god Janus who looks back on the past year but also at the same time looks forward into the new year. So what can we learn from last year that we can apply to the upcoming year?
As I reflect on the insights and encouragements from our blog readers, two themes stand out.
So the question for each of us is very simple: What is it that we need to do for ourselves this year? Let's write it down, and let's map out a strategy to achieve that goal. Share with us your plans for 2010.

I would llike to clear out my whole house of all the clutter, get a cookbook and hone my "cooking skills" and listen to more and more positive thinking tapes to keep my mood stable.
CE if you are relaxing and on your porch and enjoying the day, watching a dog pile drying in the sun can be a positive experience. It certainly makes it easier to pick up.
First I plan to clean out all the papers I've accumulated over the years and hope I don't shred something important. Then I'll clean the closet of items not worn in the past two years and vow not to think about the consequences. I'll keep on smiling as I hope for the best but plan for the worst in 2010.
I would like to think I can do all things with no assistance whatsoever. The question is: What power holds up the stars? This is where a higher power comes in. Yes, I have made that list of goals, some of which are private and personal to me. I do like to share one of my aspirations and that is to pray daily for inspiration from my God on what I can do to enjoy better health and add to the quality of my life and that of others. How can I be of service? This is a quiet knowing I want to receive daily. Thank you for your blog, Doctor Creagan. You are doing a good job. Barbara A, author of "Cry Depression, Celebrate Recovery."
C.E. why dont you resolve to be less snarky in the new year?
My resolution for 2009 was just to outlast it; from the start we have got in 2010 I think that resolution will do for 2010. The only place in Canada where they are NOT having a mini ice age is Vancouver where the Winter Olympics are about to start. And the places people go to get out of the cold are either freezing too or under tsunami watch. End Times anyone?
I think C E is funny! But a little harsh on the blog don't you think. :)
This is as helpful as watching a dog pile drying in the sun.

So here it is! The Sweetheart Giveaway!
To open the new site with a bang and celebrate Valentine's Day with some sweet gifts, I worked as fast as I could to pull together a faboo little giveaway for you guys! I started off wanting to give away a mini-session and a few photos on cd, and then more ideas just kept coming to me and I wound up having a lot of details to pull off in a few days! (I had fun though!) I have this friend Michelle, see, and she owns Iron Bear Jewelry. She makes über cute pieces and I've talked to her a few times about wanting to help get her name out there. When I thought about doing the giveaway, I thought "Hey! See if she wants in on it!" and sure enough, she did! After getting the "Yeah!", I thought… how can I showcase some jewelry to give away?? A mini-shoot with someone wearing it, that's how! But who?? I needed a cute couple and fast! Luckily the hubby is smart on a whim and said "Look through all your facebook friends". Lol. So I totally did! And guess who I decided to email in hopes that she was free with no real notice?? The lovely Missy David (aka Honey Bee Mama, who is a well-known blogger for TulsaKids.com, a doula, and a maker of baby carriers!) Fortunately for me, Missy and her hubby Marc were free for a mini-shoot this weekend! Yay!
So I had my cute adult couple to shoot to help showcase the jewelry and go with the whole "Sweetheart" theme for Valentine's Day. Next, since I do actually shoot more children than anything, I decided I had to also do a mini-session of some sweetheart kiddos… but who?? Teeheehee. My son and his future-wifey Gabby, from his pre-k class! (They've been sweet on each other since last year.) I asked Trent very politely if he would do a shoot with Gabby for me… and let her kiss him on the cheek, lol. He blushed and agreed. Fortunately for me, again, Miss Gab and her mama were free this weekend too, so I got to squeeze in a ton of planning and two mini-shoots in a couple of days!
I know, I know… get to the good part, right? Ok so here are the details!
The Prizes:
♥ A 30 minute mini-session with me, for either 1-2 kiddos (does not have to be Valentine-oriented)

♥ 6 fully edited, high-resolution photos on cd with reproduction rights (additional photos can be purchased at $8 each)
♥ One 8×10 print of your choice

Native Kentuckian Abraham Lincoln has always been my favorite president. I have read countless books and articles about his universal empathy. Lincoln demonstrated time and time again "a singular ability to transcend personal vendetta, humiliation or bitterness."
Emulating Lincoln's magnanimous empathy is not easy. The key to developing the same open-mindedness in ourselves is to start small.
If people make you angry, instead of immediately spouting off, put yourself in their shoes.
Why are they behaving the way they are?

Edit:Could you make it that CreaseClay slider is in reality 0to300%while still displaying 0to100%.
Also Invert tool action checkbox is very needed there,Creaseclay in additive mode is very powerful but
holding Ctrl for long time is bad for comfort and precision of strokes.

In the 2nd part of the video watch the inflate clay brush in the new version, it's not working like it was before, please fix it.
Posted 09 May 2012 - 01:11 AM
Hey Andrew, I've recorded a few strokes to show the brush behaviour. GL is awesome! DX is still bumpy, especially on slow strokes, interpolate doesn't help in this case. Small brush sizes produce more bumps than big sizes (at least it feels like). Drawing with constant depth and radius produces no bumps. Pen pressure in Prefs is set to 1023, brush sensitivity is 1. Wacom Prefs pressure compatibility is checked.
In the 2nd part of the video watch the inflate clay brush in the new version, it's not working like it was before, please fix it.
InflateClay is still there but you have to dial the depth higher that 100% for it to stamp the alpha in one click or pen press. I think there will be some adjustments to the percentage gauge as Andrew polishes the brushes..
I tested and was setting mine at 300% to 1000% for testing purposes and it was stamping them like in the other versions...
300% now is like 100% use to be for the LC InflateClay brush
I also love the stamping part of inflateClay as you can stamp all kinds of detail on your models....
Posted 09 May 2012 - 01:23 AM
I will post this one video as it concerns the Draw brush in surface mode and goes with the video post above this one. This brush is not a
refection of the other brushes but the one that seems to have problems still...
I get great looking smooth slow strokes using LC with my own created brushes and alphas with the new update of today...
DX mode
Draw Brush in surface mode
First brush in the e-panel (radius and depth)
No spacing
No reduce stretching selected
No falloff
No focal shift
depth 50%
Radius 6.75
Default alpha (Top right, last one)
Sphere 500,000
Non-Cuda 32 bit
In the first part of the video, I make a slower stroke and you get the bumps, In the second part of the video I hold down the "W"
key (wireframe mode) while brushing a slow stroke and the resulting strokes are very smooth and clean.
Why wireframe would make a difference, I do not know...
Posted 09 May 2012 - 11:54 AM
In DX if you turn on "use spacing" and set spacing to 5% it will yield a nice smooth stroke,
but this reveals some other issues
I've noticed that with a standard brush a stroke's cross section profile doesn't really match the brush's
cross section profile. This is true in both DX and GL, but this mismatch is much more pronounced in DX.
Liveclay results in a better match, but in DX it just isn't as good match.
To me this feels like it might be a surface normal problem.
To do it's thing I assume a brush must gather info about the surface it's going over.
If DX sends, what ends up being (for whatever reason) incorrect normal or averaged normal data,
occasional big errors in that data could easily account for a "bump" in that stroke.
The use of a smaller spacing might provide more samples and eliminate those big errors which makes for a smoother
stroke, but if the normal is still incorrect that might cause a constant virtual tilt to the brush which could possibly
account for the profile mismatch.
Of course this is all just supposition on my part, with no real knowledge of what's actually going on,
so I wouldn't be surprise if it was completely and totally wrong
What really interests me though is it seems like Andrew doesn't experience this on his test machines.
And I'm very curious about what could be different between those and the systems that do get problems with DX.
I get the problem with both these configurations
XP sp3 32-bit, intel chipset & cpu, GeForce 7900 GS driver 191.07, with an Intuos 2
DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
Win7 64-bit, intel chipset & cpu, GeForce 280M driver 258.96 notebook, with an Intuos 4 wireless
Direct 11 built in (it's what comes up if you run dxdiag), but like everyone with
win7 or vista has to do, I added DirectX 9 per the 3DC install instructions.
I used directx_mar2009_redist.exe (downloaded from Microsoft)
Those are two very different systems, but for me the problem is identical on both machines,
and 100 percent repeatable, so I really wonder what the common difference is.
Hmm, wait a minute, just a crazy thought; maybe Andrew has AMD based computers?

I get blobs in the DX paintroom, see attached image.
But only after brushing in voxel surface mode.
If I go directly to the paintroom the paint lines are perfectly smooth,
like the GL example.
In preferences:
Brush pressure levels 1023
Brush sensitivity 1
In Brush options:
zero pressure radius 0.15
Depth Modulator 1
All other options are 0 or off
Pressure sensitive options are
set to mouse not pen
MORE EDIT (again)
OK for moment there I thought had a fix, but sadly it doesn't seem to last
It's weird but it worked great for me for awhile (on 32-bit)
In the brush options panel switch all the pressure sensitivity icons
to "pen", (I did this in the paintroom, but I don't if that's important)
And WHAM, that was it!
Everything's was fixed and brushing worked perfectly in 3DC DX!!!
but when I tried the fix on the win7 machine it didn't work
Then I went back the 32-bit machine and tried brushing on a new layer
and no more perfect, and I haven't been able to get it back.
Posted 09 May 2012 - 01:42 PM
It is still theoretical (can't reproduce exactly), but I am 99% sure that's the reason.
You may check it if you turn off incremental render - fps will fall and strokes will be good.
I will update build today.

The only brush that really needs work for me at the moment is creaseclay which needs an inbed like in zbrush.
It pinch a lot but don't really carve into the surface, making very light creases (i need to push the depth to around 800 to get sensible results).
In fact I would go as far as say Andrew got most of the brush right but the performance was so bad (compared to what it is now) that we couldn't see it.
I agree. CreaseClay is a little too weak at the moment.
Posted 09 May 2012 - 02:30 PM
Seems I found the reason. Funny, it happes if FPS is too high. GL a bit slower, so works well there
It is stii theoretical (can't reproduce exactly), but I am 99% sure it is reason.
You may check it if you will turn off incremental render - fps will fall and strokes will be good.
I will update build today.
I do think you found the reason...
I checked my FPS just now when I brushed a stroke and my FPS went from 95 to 370 (DX mode)
Your FPS goes up (140) but not as high 370 when brushing in wireframe mode so it produces even brush strokes (as shown in the video) in DX mode.
Jitter is unchecked on all my test. I double check my testing parameters and should be as stated in my postings
Tablet setting 1023 on all test, intuos3
I will wait for new build before further testing on the draw brush...
First impression of Voxel grow brush
Voxel grow brush improved, more control at lower extrude settings. Creates more even strokes at lower extrude settings plus smoother in strokes even on lower voxel resolution. I been using surface mode so long now that my opinion on the voxel grow brush might not be as good as someone who uses it all the time...
Smooth brush seems to work better too.
I will have to use the voxel grow brush more to offer a polishing suggestion...
Posted 09 May 2012 - 02:51 PM
You may check it if you will turn off incremental render - fps will fall and strokes will be good.
Ah, that works great!
You just have to make sure the object is dense enough so the fps drop far enough.
I'm really looking forward to the new build!
Posted 09 May 2012 - 04:52 PM
You end up with a really nice clean line in the 3D Coat example but the thing I find most striking is that the initial brush stroke looks better in the ZBrush picture - did you use the same sort of brush for each of those initial strokes? The ZBrush one looks much better for organic style creases/wrinkles as it doesn't look like a 'rut' that has scraped through the mesh - it just has a better shape to it IMHO.
Posted 09 May 2012 - 05:51 PM
- dotting in DX version fixed (I hope)
- Invert tool action for appropriate tools
- stronger Crease clay
- fixed couple of bugs related to brushing over transformed volumes

The worlds greatest villain has just met his greatest challenge: three little girls named Margo, Edith and Agnes.

Gru Meets His Match In Latest Despicable Me 2 Trailer
The film's first teaser was funny, but revealed little about the sequel's plot. But the latest trailer is far more forthcoming. It begins with Gru in suburban bliss, caring for his adopted daughters, Margo, Edith, and Agatha, worrying over boys and giving bedtime tuck-ins. Then, it kicks into full-gear when Gru is confronted by Lucy Wilde (Kristen Wiig) of the Anti-Villain League.

Midnight Sun
- Main article: Midnight Sun
It is noted in Midnight Sun, that Edward and Emmett manipulated Ben to make him pair with Angela for school prom. This was to repay Angela for being unusually kind to Bella. The situation worked out very easily because Ben already had a crush on her.
Angela and Ben develop a relationship which lasts throughout the rest of the series.
New Moon
- Main article: New Moon
In New Moon, Bella and Mike invite their friends to a movie night. Angela and Ben back out at the last minute.
- Main article: Eclipse
Ben and Angela regularly sit with Bella, Edward, and Alice at lunch in Eclipse[1] During Calculus class, he gossips with Mike, Tyler, and Austin about the possibilities of Jacob and Edward fighting, and Ben bets on Edward's winning side, saying that "there is something about him".
Ben also picks up Angela everyday for school in his Dodge Neon, even though she is close enough to walk. In the middle of Eclipse, Angela tells Bella that she will be attending the University of Washington with Ben.
He attends the Cullens' graduation party with Angela as his date.
Breaking Dawn

Ben is described as being 5'7" (shorter than Angela), having black hair, golden brown skin, dark brown eyes, and of Asian descent. He also wears glasses.
Ben loves graphic novels and action movies with good special effects. Edward mentions that Ben is as shy as Angela and kind, but easy to fool. He is one of few male students in school who lack any romantic feelings for Bella.[1]
Angela says that she is glad that Ben has Austin to do "guy stuff" with in Eclipse.
Angela Weber
- Main article: Angela Weber and Ben Cheney
Angela Weber is Ben's girlfriend in the book series (she is dating Eric Yorkie in the films).
They developed a crush on each other in their junior years, but both were too shy to reveal their feelings. With little help from Edward and Emmett, they managed to make Ben willingly ask Angela to be his date to the spring dance. They have been a couple since then.
In Eclipse, she tells Bella that they are both attending the University of Washington after graduation.
Austin Marks
Austin Marks is Ben's best friend. They both share an interest in graphic novels, action movies, indie rock music and video games.
Angela once admits in Eclipse that she is glad that Ben has Austin to do the guy-stuff.
In the Twilight films, Ben was combined with Eric Yorkie to create one character, named Eric. His character is also yet to appear in the graphic novels.

Lenora's Herdier
this wiki
Lenora's Herdier was her main Pokemon in the anime.
Lenora's Lillipup debuted in The Battle According to Lenora!, where it battled Ash's Tepig. When it was first sent out, both Iris and Ash thought it was useless and weak due to its cuteness. However, it was shown to be fierce in battle, surprising Iris. In its battle with Ash, it used Roar to send Tepig back, forcing Oshawott to come out. It was then called back to its Poké Ball. Later it was sent back out when Watchog defeated Oshawott. It was able to easily beat Ash's Tepig with a powerful Take Down, causing Ash to lose the battle to Lenora. Lillipup evolved before the rematch.
Herdier was used to battle Ash's Tepig during Lenora's rematch with him. Since it's evolution it had more powerful attacks including a stronger Shadow Ball, being capable of using four Shadow Balls at once, Protect to block the opponents attacks and the powerful Giga Impact to replace Take Down. Although it was even more powerful than it had been before, it was eventually defeated by Ash's Tepig's Flame Charge attack.

There are a lot of ways you could do this. You could draw a "temporary" solid (or hollow if you prefer) polygon or fractal polygon to represent your continent as a rough outline, then use the drawing tool for creating the continent when you are ready to draw in detail (perhaps on it's own temporary sheet). Or you could just draw a path or fractal path for areas you want to detail now and then when you are ready use the continent drawing tool. In all cases where you have an area pre-drawn that you like, you can use the Trace option with the continent drawing tool to copy that bit of coast into the final continent.
When you are done just delete (or hide) the temporary continent/coast lines.

Power generators are being marshaled, polling locations moved and voting machines hurriedly put into place as officials prepare to hold the election in storm-ravaged sections of New York and New Jersey barely a week after Superstorm Sandy.
Organizers expressed guarded confidence Sunday that the presidential vote will proceed with no major disruptions in most areas hit by the storm. But it was unclear whether the preparations would be enough to avoid depressed turnout in communities where people still lack power or have been driven from their damaged homes.
Some voters will be casting ballots in places different from their usual polls. And some polling places will be running on generators and using emergency lights and portable toilets.

And I say spend 10$ (except - see bellow) for this specific thing of your choice with the parameters of the sale spelled out. I believe there is a difference between these two things.
Yes, there is no risk in this offer, but there is no gain either. Transparency does not protect you from your own foolishness.
This, let's call it graciously, so called offer rewards you nothing other than pieces of vanity, I repeat: You do not gain anything.
Furthermore most of these cards can and have been acquired by singular pulls from the seasonal lotto without spending anything at all. They are from a limited card pool available with various offers to make them much easier available. That has ALWAYS been a good thing about seasonals.
The idea of re-skinning the cards is a splendid idea Rom stole from LoL, but it is simply not worth it in the framerate you layed out. This is apparently obvious to everyone but you.
Sorry, you are no less a greedy **** than the bigsuits sitting in japan. Sorry, if you did not expect this result then I am afraid you are delusional.
Logress wrote:You all may remember when I first took over the game and I made huge posts about how pricing works and how there were two basic ways to fix or at least change it. One was the Market place, of which various events conspired against us, but we're pretty far into the new file editor which is a prerequisite. The other was revamping the entire game first and then addressing it (this is the content of most of the specific complaints above). Our forums search function should get you that stuff. In any case, I found that doing nothing had its own bad side effects so we occasionally do stuff like this. If you don't like it, ignore it. It's not for you and it's not your problem.
I remember, I also remember being pointed out that this approach would prove disastrous and that you need to get your arse moving, if you pardon the expression. Yes, a certain someone pointed out that doing nothing would eventually ruin you; and I am fairly sure this "event" is not moving it into the right direction.
I especially like the bolded part. I don't have to tell YOU how small the player base is, do I?

Bierstadt (1830 – 1902), a German Luminist painter who relocated to the United States, is acclaimed for his precise and natural rendering of subjects suffused in shimmering light. Overwhelmed by majestic scenery during his travels to the West, Bierstadt strove to convey its beauty to residents from the east. Known for immense, dramatic canvases of the Rocky Mountains and Yosemite, Bierstadt founded the Rocky Mountain School of Landscape Painting.

|Minor Character: New York
|New York
|Cab Driver
|Serial Killer
|Modus Operandi
|No. of Victims
|Portrayed By
|Ryan Locke
|First Appearance
|Like Water for Murder
Not much is known about the Cabbie Killer, including his history or even his real name. It was revealed that he was institutionalized at the Mannix Asylum and under heavy medication. Snippets from his file from the institution seen in Personal Foul, in which he was listed as a John Doe, suggests that he was severely abused as a child and that his mother committed suicide. Other keywords in the file were "religious fanaticism" and "multiple knife scars". The only thing that is known about him is that he is very religious and has been living in an abandoned firehouse in Washington Heights, he used to work for Zennith Cabs and he began his killing spree in Rotchester months prior to his appearance in New York. He targeted people who had large advertisements on billboards like lawyers or real estate agents. He uses tarps found in Kings County College to wrap his victims
Season 4
Like Water for Murder
The Cabbie Killer's killing spree in New York begins with him targeting real estate agents, with the murder of Chrissy Watson who showed Stella a condo a few days prior. This was his sloppiest kill, as he failed to poison her, and as a result she attempts to escape so he had to strangle her but also failed there so he just fed her to the sharks killing her and the shark. He then proceeds to kill another real estate agent named Louise Perry but this time she was just poisoned. He proceeds to P.J. Davis' apartment to kill her but has to change plans when Mac and Stella show up and instead picks up a stranger who was just inside with Davis.
Personal Foul
The Cabbie Killer strikes again after taking a break, killing a woman with the same MO but this time her body is in a fountain in Brill Park instead of at a beach. He also unintentionally left his dispatch button behind at this crime scene which allowed the CSIs to track down his former place of employment where they find his DNA which identify him by his patient records at a mental hospital. The DNA also links him it to a murder he committed in Rotchester.
He accidentally ran into another taxi driver named James Comitis and the resulting report would have exposed him, so he sent Reed, who was writing an article on The Cabbie Killer, a mysterious text naming a meeting point and promising more information on the Cabbie Killer. Reed later gets in a taxi, disappointed the person he was supposed to meet with the tip never showed up. He tries to talk to the cabbie, unaware that the driver is the Cabbie Killer, while he drives off with Reed.
He then tells Reed about the markings on the victims necks and gives him Comitis' name as a scapegoat for the killings so people wouldn't trust him. But after Reed publishes the article, things go better then expected as three fellow cabbies end up killing him. After this, he became inspired at how much people were paying attention to Reed's blog and decided to use Reed to get his message out to the world. He kidnaps Reed, binds and gags him, and dumps him in his trunk, while he forced him to listen helplessly as the killer picks up a new victim. After he murders her, he dumps the body in with Reed. The Cabbie Killer forces Reed to blog about his exploits while he carves up his latest victim's neck. But Reed leaves clues in his blogs that allows Mac to figure out he's being held at an abandoned brewery.
Eventually, he slits Reed's throat, but Reed is saved by the timely arrival of the CSIs. Stella manages to slow the bleeding, but The Cabbie Killer escapes. Hawkes matches prints on the killer's cab to those found on Comitis' car, leading the CSIs to realize that Comitis and the killer were in a car accident with their cabs. The CSIs storm the building he's living at and apprehend the killer, a religious fanatic suffering from delusions that made him believe the faces he saw on billboards were sinners he needed to deliver to the underworld.
Modus Operandi
The Cabbie killer would pose as a normal cabbie. When his victims got in his cab, he closed and locked all possible ways of escape. Then, he hit a button on his radio that filtered carbon monoxide into the back seat, slowly killing his victims when they begged for their lives. He then carved L2729, a reference to Leviticus 27:29, "No person devoted to destruction may be ransomed; he must be put to death", into the neck of the body. He then wrapped their bodies in a tarp and dumped them in the ocean where they are eventually washed up on the beach, but as his murders became public and with the authorities finding his dumping ground, he started leaving them at other locations.

Comments On Jun 26, 2012:This chain lube is better than any of the others I have tried. Does not fling off, works great and best of all the price is excellent! Highly recommend.

Comments On Dec 19, 2011:Works great for what I need it for, haven't had any issues with it so I will buy again.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jun 07, 2011:
Sprays on evenly, dries fast, doesn't attract dirt and dust like some oily lubes, but still leaves a good lubricating film.
Bought one can, found it worked well. Ordered twelve more and only have two left.
Best chain lube I have found and have tried many.
Additional Comments On Jul 04, 2011: Be sure to let it dry for an hour or so after applying before riding the bike. It then dries to a film that will NOT fling off! Doesn't seem to build up like the waxie lubes either.

Comments On May 11, 2011:For being lube, I will continue to use this stuff. It doesn't shave lap times down 45 seconds, or cause me to never have to purchase a chain again, but it keeps the chain lubed up enough, repels flash rusting from washes and generally does its job well.
But it doesn't stop there, you can use this stuff like you would wd40 except where you want a longer lasting lubrication. For example, garage door had been squeaking from the hinges, went out with this one evening, gave each hinge a blast a month later I still have a silent garage door. WD40, maybe a week.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Apr 12, 2011:After using a can of this..it's just ok in my opinion. I lube my chain every ride and I heard a lot more chain noise than normal and yes my chain was adjusted properly. I am going to stick with Motul or Maxima.

|Naruto Episode #197

|Hidden Leaf Village Grand Sports Festival!
|Appears in
|Anime, Movie
|Team Info
The Konoha 11 (木ノ葉の11人, Konoha no jūichinin, English TV: Hidden Leaf 11) is the collective nickname of four Konoha genin teams, led by Kakashi Hatake, Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yūhi and Might Guy, minus Sasuke Uchiha.
They are teamed together in various combinations in the anime for missions important to the village that cannot be assigned to more experienced ninja. During the Chūnin Exams, despite being fresh out the Academy, Team 7, 8, and 10 were capable of competing for the rank of chūnin, earning them the moniker the Rookie Nine (新人9人, Rūkī Nain), with Team Guy formed the year before. The name "Konoha 11" stems from the fact that because of Sasuke's defection, there are only eleven members left of the original teams.
With the exception of Naruto Uzumaki (due to not yet having a chance to retake the exams), all of the members have been promoted to chūnin during the time-skip, with Neji Hyūga even becoming a jōnin.
After the Invasion of Pain, ten of the Konoha 11 were prepared to kill Sasuke in order to prevent him or his death at the hands of other villages from initiating any potential war, but were later persuaded by Naruto that he alone would deal with Sasuke.
Later, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, the members of the Konoha 11, and Sai, are seen rushing towards where Naruto, Kakashi Hatake, Might Guy and Killer B are engaged in battle against Tobi and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path in order to provide assistance to the men. They would later arrive alongside the remainder of the Allied Shinobi Forces where they stood to oppose the Ten-Tails as well as Madara and Obito Uchiha, before Neji was killed by the tailed beast.
- In Japanese, the English term Rookie Nine is also used. It is still written in kanji, though. These kanji would usually be pronounced as Shinjin Kyūnin.
- Despite the group canonically appearing in both manga and anime, this name was only given in the latter.

NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. (WRDW) -- Two members of the "Irish Travelers" community from North Augusta are accused of stealing thousands of dollars in jewelry.
Investigators say Tommy Martin Riley and Phillip Michael O'Hara told an 83-year-old Spartanburg woman they were floor salesmen and snuck into her room to steal the jewelry.
Riley was arrested in Kentucky earlier this week, but O'Hara is still on the run.

Carney says the EU decision will allow European officials to crack down on Hezbollah's fundraising, logistics and terror plots in Europe.
