|カジカ Kajika
|Naruto: The Cross Roads
|Appears in
|Voice Actors
Kajika (カジカ, Kajika) was a missing-nin from Kirigakure that appeared in Naruto: The Cross Roads.
He had short black hair which was concealed by a grey shark-like top complete with a hood which resembled a shark's head, with an appendage on the back that resembled a dorsal fin and dark pants. He also had two marking under his eyes.
Kajika was shown to be a strong opponent, excelling in both taijutsu and ninjutsu. He was shown to be very deductive, capable of calling Naruto and Sasuke's bluff when they posed as his comrades almost immediately.
Physically, Kajika was both strong and fast, it was shown that he was capable of leaving craters in the earth when he struck it and that one of his clones could easily keep up with Sasuke during a short melee.
In terms of ninjutsu, Kajika was shown excelling with Water Release, using advanced techniques effortlessly with a minimum of time. He was capable of dissolving one of his water clones and use the remaining water offensively in an instant. His most remarkable technique however was his ability to form ice shards with his Water Release: Cold Sky Water Attack.
Plot Overview
Kajika and his group attacked Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha while they were waiting for Kakashi Hatake to finish his reconnaissance for the missing man Genmai who was kidnapped to lure Team 7 and mostly Sasuke. He kidnaps Sakura and takes her to his lair while his team-mates fought Naruto and Sasuke. Kajika's team-mates return only they're Naruto and Sasuke in disguise and he fights against the two. He reveals to Sasuke that his "Lord" sent him and his group to test Sasuke's strength. After some planning, Sasuke traps Kajika in some wires and Naruto and his shadow clones defeat the trapped Kajika. While trying to break free and attack Sasuke, Kajika becomes possessed by Orochimaru. After his short talk with Sasuke, Orochimaru releases his control of Kajika and his body explodes, resulting in his death.

President John F. Kennedy's White House made this jazz summit possible when it booked Brubeck and Bennett to perform at a concert on Aug. 28, 1962, for college-age summer interns. The crowd was so big that the concert had to be moved from the Rose Garden to an open-air theater at the base of the Washington Monument.
After Brubeck and Bennett each performed with their bands, the pianist came back on stage with his drummer Joe Morello and bassist Eugene Wright to accompany the singer on four encore numbers: "We haven't rehearsed this, so lots of luck, folks," Bennett joked with the audience.
"It was very spontaneous—a real jam session, where you really don't plan what you're going to sing or how you're going to play it," said Bennett, who had never previously performed with his Columbia Records labelmate. "I just gave Dave the key and the song, and we just went for it. The audience went crazy, and you can hear the reaction on the record."
Columbia Records had sent its mobile recording unit to tape the concert.
Matt Kelly, director of the archives, was doing routine research last year into Columbia recording sessions done 50 years ago when he pieced together the paper trail that would lead to the tape's discovery. He cross-referenced incomplete logbook entries for an Aug. 28, 1962, live recording in Washington, which didn't list the performers' names, and separate listings for Bennett and Brubeck sessions that same day. After Brubeck's death at age 91 on Dec. 5, Bennett's camp prodded Sony to see if a tape of the Washington concert existed and it was quickly located.
"I was shocked they even had it," Bennett said in a telephone interview.
John Jackson, Sony Legacy's vice president of A&R and Content, was surprised to find the tape in pristine condition and decided it had to be released.
"Both Tony and Dave are absolutely at the top of their game," Jackson said. "It's the only time they were recorded performing together and to have them on tape together was just too good to be true."
Brubeck's classic quartet—with alto saxophonist Paul Desmond—begins the set by playing the odd-metered "Take Five" at a faster tempo than on their groundbreaking 1959 album "Time Out," which the year before had peaked at No. 2 on the pop album charts. The rest of the set includes Brubeck compositions inspired by the rhythms of countries where he had performed—"Nomad" (Afghanistan), "Thank You (Dziekuje)" (Poland) and "Castilian Blues" (Spain).
The smooth-voiced Bennett, accompanied by pianist Ralph Sharon's trio, sings Broadway tunes such as "Just In Time" and "Small World" in his set, which closes with a song that had begun climbing the pop singles chart a few weeks earlier—"I Left My Heart In San Francisco."
Their joint performance offers a rare chance to hear Brubeck perform Great American Songbook standards with a top-flight jazz singer and Bennett unleash his jazz chops often kept in check on his more pop-oriented Columbia recordings.
They begin their impromptu performance with a brisk "Lullaby of Broadway" in which Bennett unexpectedly changes the lyrics to "Come along and listen to the lullaby of ... Dave Brubeck" and the pianist quickly jumps into his solo. On "Chicago (That Toddlin' Town)," Brubeck's solo gets somewhat funky. Bennett starts off singing "There Will Never Be Another You" as a slow ballad, but suddenly shifts to a fast tempo displaying some daring jazz phrasing, accompanied by Brubeck's rapid-fire bop lines.
"It was a matter of listening to one another and we turned each other on," Bennett said. "It's always a joy to perform with people that you've admired your whole life."
They didn't perform together again until the 2009 Newport Jazz Festival when Brubeck sat in with Bennett to reprise "That Old Black Magic"—an encounter encouraged by jazz buff Clint Eastwood, who was producing a Brubeck documentary. At the time, Brubeck expressed his admiration for Bennett.
"Tony has such great command, control and power that it's a thrill to hear him really start to belt it out," Brubeck told the AP. "It's a wonderful experience when somebody has all that power."
His 1962 performance inspired Bennett to work with other jazz pianists. Bennett says he met Bill Evans for the first time at that Washington concert and they would record two albums in the 1970s that rank among the best of the singer's career. He recently recorded an album of Jerome Kern tunes with husband-and-wife jazz pianists Bill Charlap and Renee Rosnes for later release.
Bennett, who will celebrate his 87th birthday in August with a Hollywood Bowl concert, is also planning to record a jazz CD with Lady Gaga later this year. He was impressed by her performance of "The Lady Is a Tramp" on his Grammy-winning 2011 "Duets II" CD.
"We just hit it off and I realized, 'Oh, my God, this woman's a really great jazz singer,'" Bennett said. "She's going to surprise everybody as to how well she's going to sing on this record."

ASHBURN, Va. (WUSA) -- Bethany Anne Decker of Ashburn, Va. has been missing since January 2011 and her case was recently featured on the Investigation Discovery series "Disappeared," say sheriff's office authorities. The episode will air again on Dec. 2 at 7 p.m.
Decker, who was pregnant, was reported missing on Feb. 19, 2011. Her car was left behind in the parking lot of her apartment. Authorities say there was no activity on her bank accounts, cell phones or email and she did not attend any classes after that date at George Mason University, where she was registered as a student. They believe she did not leave the country.
MARCH 2011: Forensic Examination Conducted In Search For Bethany Anne Decker
She has not been seen or heard from since the disappearance, and authorities want anyone who has any information about Decker or the case to call Detective Mark McCaffrey at 703-777-0475.

The Mafia Sentinel is a gang version of the Sentinel used by the Leone Family in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. It accelerates fast and has tight handling, and thus is ideal for street racing. In Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, the vehicle is named the Leone Sentinel, the name also exists in the GTA III beta.
The Mafia Sentinel is evidently a four-door sedan based on the games' renditions of the Sentinel, resembling a real-life mid-1990s BMW 5-series, but this car was closely resembling BMW M5. the Mafia Sentinel is also related to the sporty Sentinel XS variants in later games. It is essentially a tuned version of the Sentinel, with a bodykit, tinted windows, and blinds over the rear window. Its paintjob is always dark gray in GTA III and black in GTA Liberty City Stories, and cannot be resprayed into any other color in a Pay 'n' Spray. In the strategy guide for GTA III, pictures of a white Leone Sentinel can be seen. In the GTA III mission Give Me Liberty, there is a blue blown-up Mafia Sentinel from the GTA III beta.
Like any gang car, attempts to steal one with a Leone Family member inside will result in surrounding peers attacking the player.
Handling is slightly sharpened, whilst average speed is noticeably quicker over its stock counterpart. Its performance coupled with its four occupant capacity makes this an ideal car for bank jobs and attacks on rival gangs. The GTA Liberty City Stories rendition has a supercharged V8 engine and emits a same engine noise as the Sentinel XS. In GTA III, the car only has a turbocharged V6 (like the regular Sentinel).
- Two outside Salvatore's Mansion, just northeast of Saint Mark's, Portland Island
- In an alleyway opposite the Mafia rampage, central Saint Mark's, Portland Island
- Driven around by the Mafia in Saint Mark's, though extremely difficult to obtain after Sayonara Salvatore is completed, because the Leones become hostile to the player, however, some Mafia Sentinels can be seldom see around the borders between Saint Mark's and Chinatown.
GTA Liberty City Stories
- Ma Cipriani's house in Saint Mark's, Portland Island.
- Outside Salvatore's Mansion, just northwest of Saint Mark's, Portland Island (usually beside a PCJ-600).
- Car park outside Marco's Bistro in Saint Mark's, Portland Island.
- In the mission A Volatile Situation, two of the vehicle can be seen behind the casino in Saint Mark's, Portland Island.
- Driven around Saint Mark's.
- After finishing Sayonara Salvatore the only safe way to get a Mafia Sentinel is to drive at the beach behind Salvatore's Gentlemens Club (from Portland Docks) then climb the top of the hill then you will see two of them parked in front. To obtain it, drive down the hill and away on the beach.
- It's strange that in GTA III the car has a turbocharged V6 engine, but in GTA Liberty City Stories it has a supercharged V8 engine, despite Liberty City Stories passing in 1998 and III in 2001. This is due the fact that LCS is newer than III.

Sea Breeze Power Corp., on behalf of its affiliate Sea Breeze Pacific West Coast Cable LP (Sea Breeze Pacific WCC), has provided an update regarding studies of potential new transmission pathways to connect the Pacific Northwest and northern California.
Building upon the work of the Northwest Transmission Assessment Committee's May 2006 'Canada – NW – California' study, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is initiating the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) planning project review process in order to study potential transmission pathways to connect British Columbia and northern California. Sea Breeze Pacific Regional Transmission System Inc. (a joint venture between Sea Breeze Power Corp. and Boundless Energy LLC) has been invited to participate in the regional planning review group.
Potential project alternatives that will be studied include both 500 kV and 765 kV alternating current and high voltage direct current lines via overhead or undersea routes. The purpose of the project alternatives would be to improve northern California's access to incremental renewable generation resources in the western U.S. and Canada, and to improve regional transmission reliability.
Through mutual agreement, PG&E and Sea Breeze Pacific WCC have allowed their memorandum of understanding to lapse prior to the commencement of the regional planning review process. The memorandum was first signed on Oct. 25, 2005, for the purpose of evaluating the possible development, design, construction, operation and ownership of the Sea Breeze Pacific WCC project – a proposed 1,600 MW high voltage direct current submarine transmission cable.
The cable is planned to run 650 miles from a substation near Portland, Ore., to the San Francisco Bay Area, and could enhance power supplies in northern California by connecting the region with sources of low-cost and renewable electricity in the Pacific Northwest and western Canada. Following construction, the cable would be the world's longest submarine high-voltage direct current cable.

Biomass briquette

Last updated: {{{2}}}, 20{{{3}}}
Collect any type of waste from you home or office including paper, cardboard boxes, saw dust, scrap wood, rice husk, fruit wastes, grass, leaves, kitchen wastes, agriculture and forest residues or industrial wastes. Shred 'em, cut 'em, soak 'em and hammer 'em and what you get is a pulp. A stinking good chunk of pulp. Now press the pulp, dry it for two to three days and what you have is your briquette, all ready to burn in a range of stoves ranging from mud stove with one burner to rocket stove and room chimneys. It is energy efficient, cost-effective, manages waste and moreover an inexpensive alternate source of energy that can fuel simple households to business houses.
A kilo of briquettes costs Rs. 16 (20 cents US) and a kg and half will take care of a day's cooking for a family size of four," Shrestha Arpan says, who just got back from training disadvantaged communities in Bajura, Humla & Jumla (Nepal) about this indigenous technology. "If we could take this technology to a larger scale, imagine what 600 tonnes of daily valley waste could be transformed into – 70 per cent of the waste could be utilized to make briquettes while the rest 30 could be used to manufacture compost," she adds...

Looks Good!
This is a very early stage of a map of my heavily Venetian-inspired city-state, Orothos. The part of the map that I've been working on is the old mercantile and administrative part of the city ("Downtown" if you will).
The city itself sits at the entrance to a large estuary and was originally built in mid-water on pilings so there is no land in the city; it's all artificial. Trade, especially in dyes and pigments, in wine, various sea creatures and their products, and in cloth were and still are very important to the economy and culture of the city, which accounts for the names of some of the few places and streets I've put down.
Looks Good!
This cavern is below all, and is the foe of all. It is hatred, without exception. This cavern knows no philosophers; its dagger has never cut a pen. Its blackness has no connection with the sublime blackness of the inkstand. Never have the fingers of night which contract beneath this stifling ceiling, turned the leaves of a book nor unfolded a newspaper.
I am a sucker for good maps of cities on the water.
Very nice start
We do not stop playing because we grow old.
We grow old because we stop playing.
I've expanded a bit, added more streets, and so on. I hope to have the whole of the canal system worked out by Friday.
I would offer that you do not need the bridges over the Serpentine Canal there. If they think in terms of punts/canoes/gondolas then bridges become superfluous for traffic over the larger canals. I would put in docks as points for ferries to cross.
Smaller canals would have bridges because it is easier to walk across than throw something to the other side but if you are using small boats as the main mode of transportation about the city then the main thoroughfare will need very high bridges to allow clearance to the traffic.
Just a thought as I look to see how I would go from place to place in the city.
We do not stop playing because we grow old.
We grow old because we stop playing.
Wow! I was just studying an old map of Venice. Very similar color usage. This is looking great!
Anstett, Venice often tons of bridges over large canals. They are beautiful works of achitecture an a wonder to walk across. Also, walking across a bridge costs no money; taking a boat does.
I did stay in Venice for a week once. There are lots of bridges over the smaller canals it is true. However over the main canal where the shipping is they use the gondola taxis for people rather than a large bridge that would have to have a very high clearance.
When I was laying out my own Venice inspired city I routed all the ship traffic around the outside of the city and only have one bridge with that issue to block ships from entering that part of the city.
Plus with bridges it is much easier to charge a toll to cross, small boats just slip through the canals quietly to a secret meeting.
We do not stop playing because we grow old.
We grow old because we stop playing.
You both make very good points, which I've been mulling over in the back of my mind all day. Anstett's comment about secret meetings, however, has convinced me that I do indeed have too many bridges. Secretive maritime meetings in out of the way places, possibly between illicit traders in beetle resin, between political conspirators, and general skulduggery involving boats on fog-shrouded canals have always been very much a part of this city in my imagining, so, fewer bridges it shall be.
That said, there will still be bridges, and some will probably be wonderfully designed (at least they will be described that way, as I lack the skill to draw them).
Thank you all for you critiques and comments.
Well conceived - and a lot of work still waiting for you, hiding, in the shallows.
Anyway - it's a map, you're not painting the canals, so my twelve hundred running monkeys say a simple representation of a bridge works fine.

Are Sosa, Lofton, McGriff & Palmeiro Hall of Famers?
On the blog Baseball: Past & Present, Graham Womack posted an article on the 50 best players not enshrined in the Hall of Fame.
Four former Cubs made the list according to 148 different voters as part of the project. Below is summary taken from the post about each Cubs player.
To read the full article click here.
- 13 – Rafael Palmeiro (Cubs 1986-88)
- 21 – Sammy Sosa (Cubs 1992-04)
- 24 – Kenny Lofton (Cubs 2003)
- 26 – Fred McGriff (Cubs 2001-02)
Rafael Palmeiro rarely seems to get his due despite an impressive resume. He is 12th all-time with 569 home runs, tied for 6th all-time with 1192 extra-base hits, 11th all-time with 5388 total bases, tied for 19th all-time with 4460 times on base, and a member of the 3000 hit club.
Sammy Sosa's Hall of Fame case comes down to power– the power needed to blast home runs and the power of round numbers and recognizable milestones. Slammin' Sammy is the only player to ever hit 60 home runs in three different seasons and one of eight to crack 600 long balls in his career.
But as Sosa got older and his offensive numbers soared, the right fielder's defensive and base-running abilities shriveled, until he was essentially a one-dimensional masher. In the end, Sosa's candidacy comes down to personal voter philosophy.
Kenny Lofton's legacy is hurt by his having been an almost exact contemporary of Ken Griffey Jr., the greatest centerfielder of the last 40 years. Griffey captivated fans and media members in a way few players in history have, forcing Lofton to work in his vast shadow.
During his prime (1992-1999) Lofton had a slash line of .311/.387/.432. He terrorized pitchers by getting on base at a high clip and stealing more bases than anyone in baseball, with an 80 percent success rate. He played Gold Glove caliber defense too.
Fred McGriff. When he retired in 2004, I thought Fred McGriff was a pretty solid bet to gain eventual enshrinement in the Hall of Fame. His overall mark of 493 home runs ties him with the immortal Lou Gehrig at tenth currently all-time for first basemen (Pujols should pass them both sometime in 2013.)
His 2,239 games played as a first basemen place him third all time. In his fifteen seasons as a full-time player from 1988 to 2002, his 458 home runs, 1460 RBI, 2329 hits and 59.5 fWAR rank third, second, third and fifth respectively among first basemen.
A five-time All-Star, McGriff was somehow not named an All-Star in 1989 and 1993, seasons in which he later won the Silver Slugger award. McGriff also won the Silver Slugger award in 1992. Though he never won an MVP award, McGriff did finish in the top ten of the voting six times.

Decorating the watch
Jaeger-LeCoultre is one of the rare watch Manufactures to cultivate the various decorative arts which transform a timepiece into a work of art – enamelling, engraving and gem setting – all under its own roof. Enamel miniature painting is one of the rarest and most precious of all pictorial arts. Making an enamel miniature demands weeks of intense concentration, extraordinary patience and nimble fingers. Engraving also requires concentrated attention at all moments. Using the point of their graver, the engravers draw all the motifs dreamed up by the imagination of the watch's owner. In lines or in relief, lacquered or gem-set, the engravings are like a fragment of eternity. Jaeger-LeCoultre also blends unique gem-setting techniques which brighten the finest watch creations.

Sage update not completing on windows 7 laptop
My colleague has windows 7 on his laptop. He has installed Sage 2009 and is trying to download updates. he can choose to download the updates but the computer pauses for a few minutes while it looks like the update is running, but then sage just closes. I know there is a fix but i cannot find it - can anyone help?
Sage updates
Has he tried downloading the updates from the Sage website and installing them that way, instead of using the update feature of the program?
I have had a simelar problem with v2010 on win xp, but by downloading them and saving to the PC them installing they worked fine.
If you don't have a log-in for the sage website, email me at [email protected] and I can donwload them for you and email them
-- Witch-Queen
With Vista and 7 the you cannot update the programme, you need to right click on the icon, then select run as administrator, then select yes when the window opens, this will then allow the update to write to the programme.
You will need to do this before opening the programme.
Hope that helps
Sage update not completing on windows 7 laptop
The updates funcyionality for Sage 2009 on Windows Vista and Windows 7 is different from that of running Sage 2009 on Window XP.
There is a dat file within Sage which needs to be deleted and thereafter you will be able to run the Sage updates for the program to work.
I would be willing to assist with the procedure if you are still encountering the problem as mentioned by Lorang.
Should you still require the procedure, kindly email [email protected] and I would sent to you.
However, if you have Sage Cover, call them and inform them that your company etc recently bought a computer and you encountering such a problem which they will be able to assist.
Either way, let me know per above email stated

One of my favorite authors is Jim Collins. His newest release, Great by Choice, addresses the question: why do some companies thrive in uncertainty, even chaos, and others do not?Using a comparison study method as he did in Good to Great, Collins demonstrates the value of strong values, consistently applied and the importance of a long-term approach to mission-driven work. As he nears the close of the book, he reiterates one of the main lessons from his previous work: "Greatness is not a function of circumstance. Greatness is largely a matter of conscious choice and discipline."What conscious choice has your organization made – what is its mission? Do you know it? Does everyone on the staff and board know it? Is it engraved on their hearts?What impact (or difference) does your organization make in the lives of your target audience(s)? How do you know that? Are all of your programs and activities contributing to this impact or could some be changed or abandoned?To succeed in times such as these – indeed, at any time – tough questions need to be addressed. Clarity and focus on mission & purpose is the first step to a thriving organization.Best,ThomJim Collins provides a Good to Great Diagnostic Tool that you may use to assess where your organization is on its journey to being great. When there are differences between businesses and nonprofit (social sector) organizations, he points these out. Find the tool at http://www.jimcollins.com/tools/diagnostic-tool.pdf

The Ten-Tails (十尾, Jūbi) is the original, primordial demon of the series. All nine of the tailed beasts are but portions of chakra divided from the Ten-Tails by the Sage of the Six Paths. The beast is considered to be the progenitor of the world as well as a signal of the beginning of the end of the world, should it ever be revived.[3] Obito Uchiha's ultimate goal, which was inspired and designed by Madara Uchiha,[4] the Eye of the Moon Plan, is to capture and merge all nine of the tailed beasts back into the Ten-Tails, and become its jinchūriki and then cast the reflection of his Sharingan on the moon, casting a genjutsu known as the Infinite Tsukuyomi which will put the entire world under his control.
Centuries before the founding of the hidden villages, the Sage of the Six Paths saved the world from the Ten-Tails. He managed to subdue the beast and seal it within his own body, becoming the first jinchūriki. However, this offered merely a temporary solution to the menace: in the event of his death, the seal would dissolve and the Ten-Tails would once again be unleashed upon the world. Knowing this, the Sage searched for a more permanent solution. Ultimately, the Sage succeeded by using his Creation of All Things ability to separate the Ten-Tails' chakra from its body and divide it into nine separate constructs that would later become known as "tailed beasts", scattering them throughout the world. As a final precaution, using Chibaku Tensei, the Sage entombed the physical remains of the Ten-Tails within a colossal stone prison and hurled it into the heavens, creating the moon.[5][6] The astonishing feat of not only successfully sealing the Ten-Tails, but also suppressing it, made the Sage a deified hero throughout the shinobi world.
Centuries later, after the Rinnegan would once again manifest itself in one of the sage's descendants: Madara Uchiha, a method to summon the empty vessel of the Ten-Tails called the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was realised.[7] This ability would later be passed on to Nagato of Amegakure, and later Obito as well.
Silhouetted prior to its introduction in the story line, the Ten-Tails is cyclops-like humanoid in appearance with a conch shell-like upper body and spike-like protrusions on its back. Its unique eye, taking up most of its head, has four concentric circles with nine tomoe in the three circles closest to the pupil. When seen in a flashback, the Ten-Tails appearance was a bit more "crass". The spiky protrusions on its back were much higher, resembling a conch shell, and its tails were bushier.[2] When revived, though not fully restored, the Ten-Tails has six tomoe in its eye instead of the full nine.[8]
As the original form of all nine tailed beasts, the Ten-Tails was said to possess massive and overwhelmingly foul chakra that is potent enough to bring total despair and destruction to the world. According to Kurama, not only is the Ten-Tails the source of all chakra, but is also the progenitor of everything that exists in this world. Kurama stated that it was a god that created countries and had the power to swallow oceans, split the land, and carry mountains. In addition, Kurama admitted that it alone wouldn't even stand a chance against the Ten-Tails, and stated that the Sage feared that its revival would result in the end of the world.[9] As a tailed beast, it is presumably able to create a Tailed Beast Ball.[10] It was shown having a single unique eye, but what it is or if it is a unique dōjutsu is unknown. Despite being in an incomplete state, a combined Tailed Beast Ball from Naruto and Killer B didn't even damage it.[11]
Part II
Shinobi World War Arc
During their battle with Obito and Madara Uchiha, Naruto and Killer B prepare a massive Tailed Beast Ball in order to destroy the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path before the Ten-Tails could be fully revived. Though the statue's chakra vanished after the attack, once the smoke settled, it was revealed that the beast had successfully been revived. With this, Obito declared the end of this world and Madara notes that they should get on with the plan.[12]
- In the anime, the Ten-Tails was first shown with a red eye with tomoe, like the Sharingan, during its battle with the Sage of Six Paths. Then, when it was about to be sealed into the moon, its eye was purple like the Rinnegan but was missing the tomoe. Its figure and eye were corrected in episode 253.
- Deidarabotchi, also known as Daidarabotchi (ダイダラボッチ, Literally meaning: Giant), was a yōkai of titanic proportions in Japanese mythology. Kurama's explanation of how powerful the Ten-Tails is reflects Daidarabotchi's role in the formation of Japan's wilderness, such as the two peaks of Mount Tsukuba, according to Japanese myth.
- The name "Datara" may refer to Ippon-datara (一本ダタラ, Literally meaning: One-Legged Blacksmith), a one-eyed, one-legged blacksmith said to live deep in the mountains of Kumano. Myths vary on his nature as a yōkai or the fallen deity Ameno-me-Hitotsu. Either way, the legends say of Ippon-datara's ability to forge living things from metal that makes another reference to the Ten-Tails as the progenitor of the world.
- The Ten-Tails can be revived without fully collecting all nine tailed-beasts, having a fraction of the chakra of which is enough to revive it in an incomplete form.[13]

Despite a move by some members of Parliament calling for the resignation of the Minister for Energy and Minerals, William Ngeleja, it turned out that the Parliamentary probe committee cleared him of any wrong doing in David Jairo's fund raising scam.
Earlier, some MPs called for the resignation of Minister Ngeleja as part of taking political responsibility, while others including the author of the scandal, Beatrice Shellukindo, opposition leader in the house Freeman Mbowe, Christopher Ole Sendeka and Anne Kilango defended him.
Those calling for his resignation led by Muleba North MP Charles Mwijage said he should take political responsibility by resigning immediately following the tabling of the report, which directly implicated to three government executives.
Kahama legislator, James Lembeli (CCM) said it is very sad that corruption has entered into the State House. He said that it isn't fair for a reputable person working in the State House to clear a corruption culprit through media.
"I don't understand the reasons why was Jairo cleared from this mess. Corruption has turned into cancer, HIV/Aids…these people have eaten all the fillets…"he noted.
Lembeli questioned on why Ngeleja warmly welcomed Jairo back to the office while knowing he was still investigated.
Head of opposition camp in Parliament, Freeman Mbowe advised the government to take measures against all those implicated. He said, "We want all those involved to be held responsible and not Jairo alone".
Ngeleja (pictured) should resign for agreeing to sign the entertainment allowance totaling Sh4m", he said adding that there wasn't a reason for 243 people to be in Dodoma during budgets. Singida East MP, Tundu Lissu (Chadema) told Parliament that Luhanjo and Jairo should be treated as criminals. He said all those implicated should also be given the same treatment.
Lissu mentioned other ministry officials who were also given allowances, including Igunga MP, Dr Dalaly Kafumu (CCM) who received Sh540,000. He urged Prime Minister to advise President Jakaya Kikwete to take measures against the Controller and Auditor General (CAG) and appoint a committee to investigate him.
But, debating the report yesterday, Madam Beatrice Shellukindo was the first MP to reveal the fund-raising scam in Parliament, defended the Minister saying he wasn't implicated by the Parliamentary Probe Committee.
"I would like to be fair about Honourable Minsiter and therefore I don't see any reason why he should resign for an offence he never committed at all." The Kilindi legislator told the Parliament, stunning some of her colleagues.
Kilindi MP, Beatrice Shelukindo (CCM) said the minister's resignation wouldn't be a solution to corruption problems facing the nation.
Anne Kilango also joined the Ngeleja defense team urging her fellow MPs to fight for the reform of the current system that gives too much power to the Permanent Secretaries, while leaving ministers with ceremonial positions. "Let's fight for the reform of this system instead of calling for political accountability…Our problem is not the Minister but the system." Same East legislator told the House yesterday.
Same East legislator, Anne Kilango Malecela (CCM) advised the government to review its administration system as it gives too many powers to the Permanent Secretaries. She said there is proof that some permanent secretaries do not communicate with their ministers.
"Permanent secretaries have super powers on financial matters. You should review this system to allow the ministers to have powers on financial issues", he said.
However as some MPs called for the resignation of the Minister and his deputy, it turned out that the Probe Committee has cleared them of any wrong doing during its investigation on the Jairo's fund raising scandal.
In report tabled by Parliamentary Committee page 119 and 120, the probe committee established that though the Minister was the overall in-charge of the ministry, he was excluded in financial affairs by the Public Finance Act of 2001.
The Act, according to the Committee's report, gives full authority to the Permanent Secretary as the controller of financial affairs, excluding the Minister and his deputy.
The Parliamentary Probe Committee also recommended that the Act be amended to include the Minister in the matters of financial affairs management at the ministry in order to increase accountability and transparency.

47 U.S. Code § 225 - Telecommunications services for hearing-impaired and speech-impaired individuals
prev | next
(a) Definitions
As used in this section—
(1) Common carrier or carrier
The term "TDD" means a Telecommunications Device for the Deaf, which is a machine that employs graphic communication in the transmission of coded signals through a wire or radio communication system.
(3) Telecommunications relay services
The term "telecommunications relay services" means telephone transmission services that provide the ability for an individual who is deaf, hard of hearing, deaf-blind, or who has a speech disability to engage in communication by wire or radio with one or more individuals, in a manner that is functionally equivalent to the ability of a hearing individual who does not have a speech disability to communicate using voice communication services by wire or radio.
(b) Availability of telecommunications relay services
(1) In general
In order to carry out the purposes established under section 151 of this title, to make available to all individuals in the United States a rapid, efficient nationwide communication service, and to increase the utility of the telephone system of the Nation, the Commission shall ensure that interstate and intrastate telecommunications relay services are available, to the extent possible and in the most efficient manner, to hearing-impaired and speech-impaired individuals in the United States.
(2) Use of general authority and remedies
For the purposes of administering and enforcing the provisions of this section and the regulations prescribed thereunder, the Commission shall have the same authority, power, and functions with respect to common carriers engaged in intrastate communication as the Commission has in administering and enforcing the provisions of this subchapter with respect to any common carrier engaged in interstate communication. Any violation of this section by any common carrier engaged in intrastate communication shall be subject to the same remedies, penalties, and procedures as are applicable to a violation of this chapter by a common carrier engaged in interstate communication.
(c) Provision of services
Each common carrier providing telephone voice transmission services shall, not later than 3 years after July 26, 1990, provide in compliance with the regulations prescribed under this section, throughout the area in which it offers service, telecommunications relay services, individually, through designees, through a competitively selected vendor, or in concert with other carriers. A common carrier shall be considered to be in compliance with such regulations—
(1) with respect to intrastate telecommunications relay services in any State that does not have a certified program under subsection (f) of this section and with respect to interstate telecommunications relay services, if such common carrier (or other entity through which the carrier is providing such relay services) is in compliance with the Commission's regulations under subsection (d) of this section; or
(2) with respect to intrastate telecommunications relay services in any State that has a certified program under subsection (f) of this section for such State, if such common carrier (or other entity through which the carrier is providing such relay services) is in compliance with the program certified under subsection (f) of this section for such State.
(d) Regulations
(1) In general
The Commission shall, not later than 1 year after July 26, 1990, prescribe regulations to implement this section, including regulations that—
(A) establish functional requirements, guidelines, and operations procedures for telecommunications relay services;
(D) require that users of telecommunications relay services pay rates no greater than the rates paid for functionally equivalent voice communication services with respect to such factors as the duration of the call, the time of day, and the distance from point of origination to point of termination;
(E) prohibit relay operators from failing to fulfill the obligations of common carriers by refusing calls or limiting the length of calls that use telecommunications relay services;
(F) prohibit relay operators from disclosing the content of any relayed conversation and from keeping records of the content of any such conversation beyond the duration of the call; and
(2) Technology
(3) Jurisdictional separation of costs
(A) In general
Consistent with the provisions of section 410 of this title, the Commission shall prescribe regulations governing the jurisdictional separation of costs for the services provided pursuant to this section.
(B) Recovering costs
Such regulations shall generally provide that costs caused by interstate telecommunications relay services shall be recovered from all subscribers for every interstate service and costs caused by intrastate telecommunications relay services shall be recovered from the intrastate jurisdiction. In a State that has a certified program under subsection (f) of this section, a State commission shall permit a common carrier to recover the costs incurred in providing intrastate telecommunications relay services by a method consistent with the requirements of this section.
(e) Enforcement
(1) In general
Subject to subsections (f) and (g) of this section, the Commission shall enforce this section.
(f) Certification
(1) State documentation
Any State desiring to establish a State program under this section shall submit documentation to the Commission that describes the program of such State for implementing intrastate telecommunications relay services and the procedures and remedies available for enforcing any requirements imposed by the State program.
(2) Requirements for certification
After review of such documentation, the Commission shall certify the State program if the Commission determines that—
(A) the program makes available to hearing-impaired and speech-impaired individuals, either directly, through designees, through a competitively selected vendor, or through regulation of intrastate common carriers, intrastate telecommunications relay services in such State in a manner that meets or exceeds the requirements of regulations prescribed by the Commission under subsection (d) of this section; and
(3) Method of funding
Except as provided in subsection (d) of this section, the Commission shall not refuse to certify a State program based solely on the method such State will implement for funding intrastate telecommunication relay services.
(4) Suspension or revocation of certification
The Commission may suspend or revoke such certification if, after notice and opportunity for hearing, the Commission determines that such certification is no longer warranted. In a State whose program has been suspended or revoked, the Commission shall take such steps as may be necessary, consistent with this section, to ensure continuity of telecommunications relay services.
(g) Complaint
(1) Referral of complaint
If a complaint to the Commission alleges a violation of this section with respect to intrastate telecommunications relay services within a State and certification of the program of such State under subsection (f) of this section is in effect, the Commission shall refer such complaint to such State.
(2) Jurisdiction of Commission
After referring a complaint to a State under paragraph (1), the Commission shall exercise jurisdiction over such complaint only if—
(A) final action under such State program has not been taken on such complaint by such State—

ARMADA TOWNSHIP, Mich. - Michigan State Police are searching for a suspect who, they say, attempted to kidnap a 13-year-old boy Thursday evening in Armada Township.
Police say the boy was approached by a man in a 2002 or 2003 maroon Ford Taurus near North Avenue and Irwin Street. The man tried to entice the boy to get into the vehicle.
The boy refused to get inside and ran home where he told his parents what happened. Meanwhile, the man fled in the vehicle traveling northbound on North Avenue.
Police have provided a composite sketch of the suspect. He is described as a white man about 35 years old. He has blond hair, straight facial hair and a muscular build. He was wearing a fishing-style hat and white T-shirt.
On Friday night, the quiet Armada Township neighborhood was horrified and on the lookout.
"It's a close neighborhood. Everyone knows their neighbor and what cars they drive, and they'll know if it belongs there or not," said Kim Hattis, who lives in the neighborhood.
Strangers stick out in this community.
"Nowadays, everybody has to stay on alert. You see it on the news ... everybody, you really have to," said Joelle Gerlando, who lives in the area.
Anyone with information on the man described or the vehicle is asked to contact the Michigan State Police Metro Post at 248-584-5740 or Crime Stoppers at 800-773-2587.

Comments On Apr 30, 2013:This bag is almost good, but its uncomfortable to wear because of the design.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Mar 22, 2013:Ordered one of these because it attached to the Scott back pack I purchased (also complete garbage). During my first ride one of the seams completely tore out. Rocky Mountain was good enough to replace it, but the compartment separator on the replacement piece only lasted 2 rides. The bag is complete garbage. Maybe good for your kids show and tell but won't last 10 minutes on the trail.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Sep 22, 2012:Several compartments, plenty of separate storage and elastic tool holders. Large kit, was worried of catching on the back of my chest protector, but there still is clearance and no interference. Really nice bag.
Additional Comments On Feb 06, 2013:Only has a handful of rides with the bag and it started tearing at the waist band where the "kidney belt" type elastic attached to the tool pouche. RM sent me a replacement promptly and the new bag just has the webbing straps. No issues to speak of with the new design, really pleased. Also, worth wrapping smaller items within the pockets in a rag to avoid abrasion holes in the pockets. Interior is not heavy canvas and zippered compartments will easily tear if items are not stored smartly.

Marketplace: Doing Business in Afghanistan
What does it take for economies to grow? For some economies, foreign investment is a very important factor. Afghanistan is one country that would benefit greatly from foreign investment. But its infrastructure was devastated in 2002, and infrastructure problems have discouraged many foreign investors from doing business there, thus preventing economic improvement. While Afghanistan provides one good example of what is required for economic growth, other underdeveloped countries face very similar problems. The economic principles that help to explain Afghanistan's current situation may also be applied in other cases.
In this lesson, you will listen to an audio file about doing business in Afghanistan. While listening, you will use an interactive note-taker to record supporting details about three main ideas presented in the audio. Then, using your notes, you will answer questions related to the situation in Afghanistan.
Activity 1
Listen to the Marketplace audio file about doing business in Afghanistan: www.marketplace.org/shows/2002/05/16_mpp.html timestamp 8:39. While you are listening, use the note-taker to find supporting details related to these four main ideas: The four main ideas you will focus on today are:
- Devastated Infrastructure in Afghanistan
- Foreign Investment Obstacles
- Local Investment Obstacles
- Traveler and Visitor Obstacles
As you listen to the audio, take notes on any words you don't know, or words that may be important economic terms. Then listen to the audio again to gather additional details and possible definitions of the vocabulary words, using context clues, and record the additional information in your note-taker.
Activity 2
Would you do business in Afghanistan? Because of the great need, there are many business opportunities in Afghanistan- for example, in education, construction, telecommunications, security, and transportation services. Discuss the following scenario in small groups and record your ideas. As an entrepreneur you've just been given an opportunity to start a business in Afghanistan. To help you decide whether or not to take the opportunity, visit the U.S.Commercial Service website. Use the following questions from the note-taker to help you with your decision:
1. What type of business do you think might have the best chance of success?
2. What are the major economic risks of doing business in Afghanistan?
3. What are the major personal risks of doing business in Afghanistan?
4. What or who would you need to help you start a business there?
5. Why would an entrepreneur choose to start a business in Afghanistan?
6. Entrepreneurs always weigh risks and potential profits. Do the risks outweigh the profits in this case?
By the conclusion of this lesson, you should be able to identify at least three main factors that have caused the collapse of the economy in Afghanistan.
You should be able to identify at least three obstacles preventing foreign investors from helping the economy in Afghanistan to recover.
1. Hand in your note-taker. Your work should reflect an understanding of the decisions that entrepreneurs must make in order to weigh risks and profits.
2. Discuss Activity 2 in small groups and hand in your recorded ideas. As you reflect on this activity be sure to consider the decision-making process that entrepreneurs go through in order to secure profits and minimize risks.

NORMAN, Okla. - In the middle of driving heat the breezes that cooled many off did little to bother the skilled receivers and quarterbacks that were on hand for Oklahoma's first day of summer camp. It comes as no surprise to anyone that Sooner commitment, Kendal Thompson, from nearby Southmoore high school was on hand but he was far from the only quarterback in attendance.Most notably among the other signal callers was 2012 Houston Second Baptist quarterback Jeremiah Briscoe. The 6-foot-3, 179-pound signal caller showed up and, like Thompson, simply worked out in shorts and a t-shirt but showed quality mechanics and a live arm. He'll definitely be a player to watch moving forward as he steps into the start spot vacated by former Sooner target, and eventual Texas signee Connor Wood.Of course it was Thompson that had many onlookers, including his former Sooner father Charles, interested from the sidelines.On the day Thompson threw the ball well but continues to work on some mechanical issues with the latter portions of his throwing motion. It's something that is simply a clearing up of some extra movement that slows Thompson down a bit from the decision to the moment the ball leaves his hand."I'm having to work on it, he is just making a few little changes," Thompson said after departing from camp.Read much more on the first day of Oklahoma's camp at SoonerScoop.com! ...More...

That's almost as depressing as having a date with a new gal and calling your ex in the middle of dinner to let her know you're having the time of your life.
Dear lord, this allegory is horrible and Alteil is not your girlfriend.
Because you should take a figure of speech by its literal value.
Why are you unable to grasp the real content of my posts beffudles me to no end. Either I am being insane for expecting you eventually will or for thinking you actually can.
On a related note, reading your replies to anything I write while the Yakety Sax plays as background music is quickly becoming a favorite activity of mine. Keep up the good work! You should try it some time, the comedic value is greatly enhanced by Randolph's iconic piece.
...I am sorry, but how is that a figure of speech? I admit, having been an author for what, six years now, my mastery of the language surely isn't as profound as the encyclopedias you are using as a rebuttal reference, but I would advise to pick your sources more carefully next time. Untrained individuals like me may not reach the epiphany from reading your schmendrick, as you have duly noted yourself a few times now. I apologize for all of us being so utterly unable to comprehend high language, because it is clearly the mass at fault.
And as I said, that is a terrible allegory.
I don't even NEED to interpret what your entire post truly contains, because you told me in the chat: You take insults directed at Alteil to a personal level.
You bust into threads like you're the saviour of the delusioned Game Masters and the Father of the Lady of Pain rolled into one poor Lawful Good Paladin.
How has that worked for you so far? Shall we talk about Far's thread and your argumentative backflip you did when he confronted you with it? I am sure you have already embarassed yourself enough, but fishing the respective log from a .json artifact that our new graceful chat provides us with would be no big deal.
Sorry quiggy, you are neither Alteil's lawyer nor their saviour. Call has been defending a valid standpoint since what? 9 sets now? And even if he has a...weird way (I am censoring myself, since the last time I said that I got buggered by Gadu) of expressing it, it has been acknowledged by people with far more experience in the game than either you or I have. (Ignoring that he has been the sole source of entertainment for a looooong time in this forum)
Oh, and when it comes to humorous compositions I prefer Khachaturian's Sabre Danse.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos have selected offensive guard Chris Kuper as their 2012 Ed Block Courage Award winner, it was announced.
Each year, the Ed Block Courage Awards honors players who exemplify commitments to the principles of sportsmanship and courage. Kuper, who suffered a fractured/dislocated ankle in Week 17 last year and fractured his forearm during training camp this season, was named an offensive captain by his teammates in 2012 and was selected as a second alternate for the Pro Bowl after playing seven games (5 starts) for the Broncos in the regular season.
The seventh-year offensive lineman from the University of North Dakota has spent the last five seasons as Denver's starting right guard, allowing just 12 sack sin 78 career starts (67 at right guard, 11 at left guard).
The Ed Block Courage Award is named in honor of Ed Block, the longtime head athletic trainer of the Baltimore Colts, who was a pioneer in his profession and a respected humanitarian. Recipients are selected by their teammates for team effort, as well as individual performance.

|A stack of Diaper Clutches for my book group
LOL…what a riot. I love the last photo…so cute! Have a great week!
Love life moments on film! Kids grow up way, way to quick! My oldest is graduating High School on Sat and off to college by August! Sooo not ready for that one!!
Oh, Amy, I feel for you! I thought people were crazy, too, till I put my daughter on the bus the first day of kindergarten – I cried all day, and took a good couple of months to adjust! Whew! Are there TWO kids in that pile?? Cute! Love those diaper carriers, and good luck in my giveaway that you entered – thanks!
That's what I call "Real Life." I remember those days with 4 children at home. Everyday was an adventure———.
Oh my goodness! You are busy! My oldest starts Kindergarten in September and I think its crazy – she will only be 3 1/2!
Life takes over….It's been pretty crazy for me too!! :)
Sometimes it's nice to step away from the computer though. Can't wait to see what you come up with next. Have a great week!
Thanks for sharing the photos! The mountains are BEAUTIFUL in the background, and your kids are quite lovely, too! Enjoy the chaos! They will grow up and leave your house all too quiet one day.
Glad to see that my kids aren't the only one who pull their mattresses to the floor! And my oldest starts kindergarten in the fall and I feel the same, only difference is mines the big kid of the family. I want summer to crawl along and really enjoy these last few months of him home. Enjoy your time as well, and we will overlook any random or boring blog posts untill then!
The good news is that they are asleep!
As such a busy mother, I don't know how you do all that you do. I hope you have a wonderful summer.
Ha, that last picture is priceless!
Same thing happened here, only about a week and a half behind your schedule. We are trying to figure out our summer schedule and I'm still not finding much time to blog. 🙂
Hi Amy….I have 4 kids too!I remember having a serious cry the day my baby starting KG….next week she graduates HS !! Bittersweet is my word for JUNE …..
WOW – is that your backyard view? Those mountains are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!
I love it! Sounds like we are living very similar lives…nice to know I am not the only one busy with everyday 'life'. Good luck getting a few things accomplished 🙂
I feel your pain. 🙂
My baby is graduating kindergarten and my oldest is graduating 6th grade at the same time tomorrow. Good thing hubby is home. I'm so not ready for middle school, either. :)

Have a great last week of school!
I think I've been hiding under a rock or something. I'm sorry to have missed you at market — I've been reading back over your posts — it looks like you had a FABULOUS time!!! (You cracked me up with your comment about the Moda Utah bag — I said almost exactly the same thing — Had. to. have. it!!!)
Monkeys 🙂 LOL… don't you just *love* it when you suddenly become aware that it's too quiet 🙂 We've got a long weekend this weekend (Queen's Birthday!) so I'm hoping to get a spot of sewing done after I managed to tame our weeds last weekend!
Thanks for the chuckle! I always look when it is quiet!! 🙂
hehehe…I love the picture of the kids sleeping. As I was reading this, my husband and I were actually talking about whether our daughter (2 yo)will ever sleep once we take her out of the crib. He said, yeah, she will probably sleep on the floor in the middle of all of her toys.
Family first… that's one reason why I enjoy following you (not to mention you are crazy talented)! Every milestone with each child is such a precious gift and one day when they are grown you will look back and enjoy sharing these memories with them. They are what make all of the crazy times so worthwhile! Mine are all grownup and they always find there Mama waiting for them at home. God
Amy – I love your blog. You always make me smile. Thanks for keeping it joyful and real.
=)
Sound so familiar. Look forward to seeing the quilts Amy
You are not alone! One note though… It only gets worse from here! Mine range from 22 years to 16 years and I am more disorganized and busier than ever. I was able to have everything under control until the first went to high school and it was all downhill from there. Enjoy it while it lasts. Elementary school is only the calm before the storm!
Have fun!!:)
Uhm, we so live a parallel life!! Blessings upon you!!
Busy can be overwhelming, but it sounds like you all are having fun. Was wondering if you plan to do a tutorial for the clutches, they are adorable.
Love that last photo–terrific. I had my grandsons here last weekend and although it's hard when your children grow up, you get grandchildren! And that's the best ever, although I have to say I didn't believe it when my mother would say it.

I treasure the memories I have of my children, and am glad to see that you are taking the time to make memories–and record them in
I feel like I'm in the same boat as you. My youngest starts K in the fall, too, and I always thought I'd be overjoyed. but now that it's nearly here, I'm thinking I'll be spending a few days lost without anyone at home! Or who knows, maybe I'll be so ready after summer vacation. 😉
Love that last picture – so cute! Just fell upon your blog and I'm glad that I did 🙂
