Capone Says Stop-Motion Animation has a New First Lady--and Her Name is CORALINE!!!
Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here. I've never read the Neil Gaiman novel that inspired director-adapter Henry Selick to create this magnificent work of stop-motion animated art, and frankly I may never want to. I certainly have nothing against Mr. Gaiman's writing, but Selick has done such a complete and fulfilling rendition of the world inhabited by young Coraline Jones that my heart and imagination are stuffed to capacity. Selick has wowed up in the past with such film miracles as THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS and JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH. He's even played God for Wes Anderson, who charged Selick with inventing new species of undersea life for THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZIZOU. And who better to literally invent life forms. He has promoted and elevated the art of stop-motion filmmaking to such a degree, I can't imagine studios not taking a step back from so much CG animation and try having this level of patience with the creative process. In every conceivable way, CORALINE is a celebration of the riches and beauty of all things handmade. Not only is everything we see on screen made by hand, but the story itself is about creating a world by hand. But I also adore CORALINE because it celebrates the role of fear in a child's life. As much as parents try to protect their offspring from all things dangerous, kids will always find something to be scared about, so why not throw them in the deep end of this thrill that featured all manner of perilous elements, including sharp objects--some aimed right at your eye (did I mention that if you see this film in anything other than 3-D, you're missing three-quarters of the film?)--evil creatures, giant bugs that look like furniture, ghost children, dead animals, and loads of other devices aimed at freaking out kids and adults alike. The blue-haired Coraline is voiced with rebellious girlishness by Dakota Fanning, who may seem like an obvious choice, but she's fantastic here. And the worst thing that could happen to a child her age has happened--she's bored. Her parents (John "I'm a PC" Hodgman and Teri Hatcher, who might do the best work of anyone in the film) are co-authoring a gardening book, and are on a tight deadline, leaving them no time to entertain their only child. While exploring the world around their new home, Coraline meets Wybie (Robert Bailey Jr.), an inventive little brat who, by default, becomes Coraline's best friend. He gives her a rag doll with buttons for eyes that bears an almost scary likeness to Coraline. In an effort to kill time, Coraline also meets her new neighbors, including a pair of elderly former actresses Misses Sprink and Forcible (an appropriately teamed Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French), who have a brood of terriers (both living and dead) living with them. She also films amusement with an upstairs neighbor, the acrobatic Mr. Bobinsky ("Deadwood's" Ian McShane), who is in the process of training a group of jumping mice for a special kind of circus act. One night, Coraline discovers a small door behind some furniture. Although during the day with her mother watching, the door had only bricks behind it, at night, the door opens to a long tunnel leading to, well, a version of the house she already lives in. Only in this Other World, everything is exactly how Coraline would like her life to be. Her parents are attentive to her every need and whim, the neighbors are far more entertaining, and Wybie is rendered speechless. But eventually the price for all this perfection reveals itself, and if you've seen even one commercial or trailer for the film, you know what that is. To go into too much more detail about the plot of CORALINE would be to spoil the exciting process of discovery that Selick has in store for you. There are healthy doses on insanity, especially when it comes to Coraline's Other Father. This is not to say that her Other Mother is much better, but the less said about what happens to her character the better. And then there's the mysterious black cat (voiced by velvet-throated Keith David), who seems to have the ability to travel between the real and Other World as easily as our heroine. If I had to pick a character whose likeness I'd like on my shelf, I'd pick the Cat; he's a badass. There's both a sparkling innocence and a terrifying underbelly to CORALINE, and I love how Selick underscores both. The Other World is lush, colorful and so very alive, while the real world is dreary, dirty and rundown. It isn't hard to imagine any child choosing fantasy over reality, like Alice going through the Looking Glass or black-and-white Dorothy landing in Technicolor Oz. We know it's not a safe place, but that isn't going to stop us from having fun with it for a while. The final third of the movie is as suspenseful as just about anything I've seen in the animated world. What I admired so much about CORALINE is that it's about a resourceful, intelligent, fearless female character that I honestly believe young girls can admire, despite her occasional lapses into disobedience. Not to come off like I have some grand feminist agenda, but Coraline stands as one of the great animated ladies in history, and she manages to be so without being a princess, needing a man (unless you count a male cat) to save her, or even having much in the way of fashion sense. The film is a glorious look into an utterly original world in which things made my hand are both cherished and feared (as they should be), and brains count for something. I can't think of a better combination. We're a little over a month into the year, and I've already found my first candidate for one of the best films of 2009. -- Capone email@example.com

Should be very, very awesome.
Sounds like this movie is worth checking out.
Really looking forward to seeing this. Also really looking forward to when my daughter is old enough to see this!
Well that's just fucking GREAT.
It's true that most characters in children's films are characters you would never want your children to emulate. I'm glad to see this is an exception.
but yeah, I wish she was just a little older (she's turning 4 on Monday). She's been fascinated by the commercials, but I know she's way too young for this, especially since she thinks parts of Little Mermaid are too scary. And so far, Kung Fu Panda is the only film she's seen in the theatre. But her mother and I will certainly see it in the theatre and get it on dvd so that she can see it when she's ready. Oh yeah, and I'm a huge Neil Gaiman fan.
I'm crossing my fingers.
I saw it in 3D and spent the whole time wanting to take the glasses off because they make the screen darker. The picture quality is nice and everything, but it would be exactly as effective in 2D -- our brains have been trained so much to accept 2D as "reality" in movies that they fill in the extra dimension automatically.
...but it sure smells good!
...but hated "James & the Giant Peach." The book was far better, and I don't know why the filmmakers strayed so far from it.
I couldn't agree more. Roald Dahl was my favorite author when I was growing up, and James and the Giant Peach was my first foray into his world. The movie was awful.
Freakemovie all 3d movies require a brighter bulb in the projector, perhaps the movie theater didn't put one in when they got this movie. I am quite excited to take my daughter this weekend as Nightmare is one of our favorites
The middle of the movie is indeed brilliant, but I felt the opening and the ending felt very rushed. The opening jumps into an adventure with no sense of reason why, and the end just felt like a classic video game with characters cheering you onto the next level. Definitely a strong movie, but it actually needs a slightly longer running time.
I get confused when the reviewers love turds like 'twilight' and she's just 'not that into your porn' or whatever it's calledthen tell us a clearly awesome movie is awesome. I need an 'awesome movie' meter or something to gauge it against. Is it 'Twilight' awesome or really awesome?
Not that I think it DOESN'T look interesting, just funny to see a bunch of "swooning" reviews of it posted so quickly.
 Oh course, Harry "swoons" for alot that has been not so wonderful, too...
I just saw it in 3D with my 6-year-old niece, and let me tell you, the site's reviews are spot-on. The niece was a bit spooked at some parts, but when we came out she had a barrage of questions. When I dropped her off, she was still thinking and talking about it, as am I. One warning, she is mature at 6, and she was scared at parts. I'd say that's probably around the cutoff age for kids. During the second half she was on my lap pretty much the whole time. But the movie was incredible, and a must-see in 3D, get to it before that accursed NSYNC 3D movie (or whoever the fuck they are) takes over the 3D theaters.
AVOID SPOILERS! (Unless you've read the book that is, which I plan to)

With 100% of the AICN staff. This movie was AMAZING. I first read the book about four years ago (and have read it a few times since--it's a quick read) and as such I was really looking forward to this. I went into it wanting to marvel at the meticulous detail laid out in front of me, but the movie was so well suited for 3d that after the opening credits I stopped trying to be amazed by the tiny clothes and props and fell deeply into a story I already knew forward and backward.

for me, nothing I've seen from this film compares visually to P. Craig Russell's definitive graphic adaptation: http://tinyurl.com/d3buvs
CORPSE BRIDE and MIRRORMASK at the theater, won't miss this one, 3D or not. good to know that stop-motion still lives
I have read the original story and also the P. Craig Russell adaptation. I am going to say that I love what they have done with this movie. The world and characters are amazing. Henry Selick stays true to the book but adds some of his magic to this. I really hope that this movie does well because it would be a shame if this is missed. I think you should give this a chance I don't think you will be disappointed.
That film was amazing. Although I have to disagree with Capone that the film would be missed by 3/4 if not seen in 3-D. That actually serves as an injustice to it. Though, the 3-D aspect of it should not be missed. Worst part about the experience though was that some dunce was yapping, at the top of her lungs on her cell during the opening credits. I was so baffled by this I couldn't say anything at first. I almost wanted to see how long this girl would go on for. On top of that, I was shocked that no one else in the packed theater said anything to her. She was talking like she was standing next to train and the person on the other line could barely hear her. Finally I said, "Excuse me". She keeps talking. At that point, I'd HAD it. "Hey, stop talking on your damn phone!" She then had the nerve to turn to me and say, "At least you could've asked me nicely." Almost wanting to laugh at the stupidity, I didn't. "Either hang up that phone or I'm going to shove it up your ass!" I felt bad because there were kids in the audience but she shut up. At least I didn't pull I gun. :)
Oh, don't worry, I'm definitely going to see it. But the shift from Gaiman's deadpan British Coraline to this movie's spastic American Coraline does worry me.
MirrorMask was gorgeous on the big screen, but I imagine on a nice enough set, it would be good at home.
And it's very good. I don't know if it'll end up on my top ten list for the year, but it's definitely one of the _good_ films, the type we should all hope more gets made of.
 This was my first 3d movie in many years.... and man, the technology has arrived. Do all the realD movies look this good?
All the realD projections I've seen have been phenomenal. A big leap forward for 3d.

Hey I'm a little late to this thread but to be perfectly consist
by DOGSOUP
and loved every 3d eye fucking moment of it. BTW several kids were literally crying in fear of the final form of the villian. The fact that a PG movie can do that in this day and age is awesome.
my bloody valentine almost became annoying with teh amount of over blurring. WIth realD you get more depth the closer you are to an object and in MBV3d teh directors over did it and made what ever's in frame in really sharp focus and everythinge sle(even just 5 feet in the background) extremely blurry. But I've seen coraline and beowulf in 3d as well. Coraline suffers a bit of staggering framerate since it's stop motion at 24 fps being played at 120 fps which just makes for some weird motion at times.
That's what is missing in kids films today. They (and their mind- mush parents) have become so formatted by the shit that has been put out by Hollywood today, and the two decades before, that they believe that everything is hunky-dory and people falling and hurting themselves is funny. Room for brilliance within a dry, stop-motion, honestly scary film has left the building and will be perminately on hiatus until Hollywood continues to put out films where kids are in pure, sincere danger.
Not punching her in the face was asking her nicely. I'm sorry this sublime cinema experience was somewhat ruined for you. I guess I was lucky, there were many kids in the audience, they (including my niece) talked a lot during the 3-D previews, but once Coraline got going everyone shut the hell up.
I saw this yesterday with a friend and it was entertaining for a kiddie movie, but still very much on that level...it was visually impressive but the story was basic with no subtext or much of anything interesting.
Everyone's opinion is valid. That being said, you are wrong.
I could have bet a ball that every reviewer here would just ADORE this movie and of course they all do and it just makes me not want to see this movie EVER. I seriously believe you could have a two-hour stop motion film of a turd slowly pushing it's way out of a sphincter and fanboys would love it. Ugghhhhhhhh.
or you hate life.
Nobody cares. Enjoy your life.
Obviously YOU care enough to reply, so your post makes you stupid in addition to a butt-inski.
...would only enjoy this movie if everybody hated it, and HE were the only one who liked it, and he could lord it over all of us and tell us how stupid we all are. When everybody likes it, it just isn't fun for him.
and see if he goes mental
Why was not his name plastered all over this film? He is the greatest actor living or dead, hands down. Name one bad thing he has ever done? Besides the Navy commercials and getting some paychecks here and there (All About Steve/Delta Farce). He's pretty much flawless.
I don't know if he's the best actor ever, he is indeed great but that's a very strong statement. BTW, you should see Men At Work, with Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez as garbage men, and Keith plays their very crazy boss.
 Why is it that black men have the best voices? Keith David, James Earl Jones... Dammit, I'm a white guy and I want a cool voice too! God is a racist.
that's the important question...

News > Heroism award presented to Maryland State Police AS365 Dauphin crew for swift-water rescue
September 3, 2009
A challenging swift-water rescue with Maryland State Police's AS365 Dauphin was recognized today with Rotor & Wing magazine's Helicopter Heroism Award.
The Public Service award was presented to pilot Jim MacKay and trooper/flight paramedic Nate Wheelock, who received this distinction during the Rotor & Wing 2009 Search and Rescue summit in Reston, Virginia.
Their dramatic rescue operation occurred in December 2008 after a catastrophic water main break in Bethesda, Maryland trapped numerous vehicles in fast-flowing water that was three-to-four feet deep. ¬ÝThe Maryland State Police Aviation Command'Äôs 'ÄúTrooper 2'Äù helicopter with MacKay and Wheelock aboard was dispatched to the scene after 911 calls were received from survivors whose cars had filled with frigid water and were at risk of being swept into a swollen nearby creek.
'ÄúAfter receiving the telephone call and walking out to the hangar, our initial reaction was: 'ÄòA broken water main? That'Äôs something you normally can step over 'Äì so why send out a helicopter?'Äô'Äù MacKay said.¬Ý 'ÄúOnce we were at the scene, we realized what the situation really was 'Äì and we had to assess the ability to perform this rescue with our basket based on trees and wires in the vicinity.'Äù
While making an overhead assessment upon their arrival, the Trooper 2 crew was faced with a number of decisions based on local conditions.¬Ý At least seven cars were stranded by the rushing water, and Trooper 2 was asked by Fire Command to hoist all survivors due to the amount of time they had been exposed to the frigid water and air temperatures.
While MacKay held a precision hover with the AS365 within feet of wires and the canopy of tall trees that partially obstructed the roadway from above, Sgt. Wheelock began the hoist rescues.¬Ý During the first hoist from an altitude of over 100 ft., a 22-year-old woman self-extricated through her open car window and climbed into the rescue basket.¬Ý Sgt. Wheelock controlled the cable while winching the basked up to the Dauphin.¬Ý
Working as a team to keep the helicopter'Äôs rotor blades clear of nearby trees, MacKay repositioned the AS365 forward approximately 20 ft. so that Wheelock could lower the basket for positioning in a 'ÄúV'Äù created by the open front passenger door of a survivor'Äôs vehicle.¬Ý¬Ý Despite the challenges, the basket was accurately placed the second time, and two more survivors 'Äì a mother and her nine-year-old son 'Äì climbed in.¬Ý Wheelock once again guided the cable and basket up past wires and trees.¬Ý
Unable to detach the basket due to a thick coating of ice on the cable hook, the Trooper 2 crew flew to a nearby landing zone.¬Ý With the two survivors still in the basket, MacKay transitioned the AS365 to an open field and touched down 'Äì enabling them to be moved into the aircraft'Äôs cabin.
The Dauphin then departed with its three survivors – all soaking wet and covered with ice – for the nearest trauma center, where they were treated for hypothermia.

Definition of virion in English:
Syllabification: vi·ri·onPronunciation: /ˈvirēˌän, ˈvī-
Microbiology- The complete, infective form of a virus outside a host cell, with a core of RNA or DNA and a capsid.More example sentences
- The humoral arm produces virus-neutralizing antibodies that, when fully effective, completely prevent virions from infecting new host cells.
- It is probable that movement of poliovirions occurs through the interaction of the virions with the host cell actin similar to the mechanisms seen in some bacterial infections 10-12.
- However, the tubes may contain multiple virions, or capsids, like peas in a pod, or the linear arrangement of spores in neurospora filaments.

What Hank Aaron and Barack Obama have in common
Thirty-five years after Hank defied threats and hate mail to break Babe Ruth's home-run record Obama is also showing us a deeper realm of courage, resilience, and justice.
(Page 2 of 2)
Aaron grew up in segregated Mobile, Ala.; in 1953, at age 19, he broke the color barrier in the deep-South Sally League, enduring (with teammates Felix Mantilla and Horace Garner) the kind of racist fury Jackie Robinson had felt a few years earlier in the North. John Lewis, the US congressman and civil rights leader, suggests Aaron was endowed with "that extra ounce of grace" that allows someone to endure extreme hardship. And for a black man in America, especially in the South, that meant not showing your anger.
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
"I think that in order to grow up black in the South, you had to learn that people were trying to do all kinds of things to try to intimidate you," said Mr. Young, recalling Aaron's struggle. "You never got angry. Anger was seen as weakness in the context of civil rights."
In a later generation, Mr. Obama built this understanding into his presidential campaign.
The famously calm demeanor of Obama – like Aaron, he is Number 44 (the 44th president) – can be understood not simply as a character trait, or explained by his never having felt the battering hatred of segregation. Just as significant is Obama's understanding of the psychological and historical dynamics laid out by Harvard psychiatrist Alvin Poussaint: "Because of slavery and all the oppression, the lynchings, there's a feeling that the black man is a very threatening creature."
Both Poussaint and Obama used that understanding to help transform the bogeyman stereotype. The psychiatrist worked with Bill Cosby to create the characters in television's Huxtable family. The candidate did so by his remarkable steadiness and by not taking the bait despite unsubtle jabs (consider the Sarah Palin "real America" comment, which many took to be racial code language). The ultimate transformation of the scary black man image was in how America began to see a young African-American as a cool, steady presence. Beside John McCain, who sometimes came across as frenetic, Obama was the steady one we looked to for guidance.
For Aaron, there was a price to be paid for swallowing his anger and enduring the death threats, racist catcalls, and hundreds of thousands of hate-filled letters. "It carved a part of me out that I will never restore, never regain," he said.
Yet he persisted in part because he felt like he was "in the middle of something." Thus, as he rounded the bases in Atlanta on April 8, 1974, he shed not only the ghost of Babe Ruth, but the burden of the struggle which he was in – a struggle that transcended sports, to a deeper realm of courage, resilience, and justice.
Sandy Tolan is author of "Me and Hank: A Boy and His Hero, Twenty-Five Years Later." He is associate professor at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Southern California.

CONCORD -- The property rate is going up in Cabarrus County, but it does not mean homeowners will be paying more.
In a split vote, the Board of Commissioners approved a 9-percent property tax increase at Monday night's meeting.
These tax increases follow a revaluation in Cabarrus County where a majority of properties actually lost value this year. Depending upon the assessed value of the home, the homeowner could be paying more or less next year.

text: I hate and I love. How much I hunger for the days when I was younger, for the days when I was really free, for the days when I was a real me. And what is happening now? Has the world turned upside down? I do not say any more "Wow!" Nothing surprises me. I can only realize this horrible situation with discomfort and even frustration. Am I on another stage? Is it connected with my age? I don't think so. I can see today the youth who can't find the truth. Isn't it strange that having two higher educations I am on the edge of starvation? Isn't it strange that having worked all my life I have to think how to survive? No one cares about my life, no one worries if I should live or die. I hate those unfair rules which were proclaimed for the fools. I love my motherland, but the life here I can't withstand. I forgot the word "hurray". That was another day. My future is unpredictable as weather. I am like a feather, don't know where to fly. It seems all is a lie. I don't know where this time the wind will blow. Where is my spirits flow? I don't know how to live, I don't know whom to believe. The world has greatly changed. For someone it's not strange. It's only strange that I am still alive and have to think how to survive. Who will tell me what to do? Should I be true with those who cheat, with those who treat me and others as a toy? They are very much annoyed to listen to the truth, but they are not confused to rob, to demand, to occupy my motherland. They even use God's name as a cover for their crimes. They do not hear the church bells chimes, they only hear their own voice, leaving the majority with no choice. My voice is crying in the wildness. Forgetting about gladness I have to know sadness, to learn the rules of a new dirty game. Isn't it the biggest shame? I have no more strength to fight but only to wait for the light at the end of that tunnel, in other words: for my funeral. Where is the way out? It looks as there is only one: to pray, to calm my soul for another stay. ©Larisa Rzhepishevska (Odessa, Ukraine)

I had a freind that had a similar problem as you do and I told her to write to the company. She did, and they Did send her the film! This was a few year's ago, and I'm not sure if it was the same manufacturer? Anyway's it's worth a try right? Sure, it will probably cost you a pretty penny, But it's all in how much you want to use it again? Good Luck!
I also think this price is fantastic! I'm not sure if the quality will be any good at that size though? Do as I do, I have my daughter print all of my picture's off at work, (after of course) then I have them almost right away instead of having to wait forever through one of these sites on line. I can delete which ever ones I don't want before hand to! Simple enough! Thanks Teresa :)

#49 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2012
Created from a 90/10 blend of Prugnolo Pentile (Sangiovese Grosso) and Canaiolo, this wine is deep ruby red with violet hues. The aroma of red fruit is accompanied by the underlying traces of wood having spent 24 months in Slovenian oak casks. The flavor is harmonious and full-bodied with soft tannins and good fruit. Pairs well with red meat, game and semi-mature cheeses.
"This lush, black cherry- and blackberry-flavored red also shows herb and spice notes. A base of gripping tannins provides support as this cruises to the long finish. Shows a touch of heat in the end. Best from 2014 through 2025." 92 Points Wine Spectator
(TUSS-can-ee) One of the most important wine regions in Italy, Tuscany is home to the cities of Florence and Siena, the districts of Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino, and the wineries of Sassicaia, Tignanello and Ornellaia.

The real issue is how it's perceived by your audience, with the ubiquitous YouTube Flash interface and the logo overlay. YouTube is still the land of silly kittens and amateur jackass imitators, embedded on every 15 year old's blog the web over. Your choice if you want to be associated with that. I would suggest that Vimeo or other options, with semi-pro paid options, would be a better choice for anything commercial.
I agree, YouTube is good for starting out and testing the waters, but many businesses probably require a more "personalized" solution. Agree again on the point that there are many other free hosting, or less than $10/month hosting solutions that don't show the logo, don't require that your videos be made available to the general public, and don't pop up ads.

Diversity & Inclusion Abroad-Religious Diversity Abroad
Religion plays a role in many cultures around the world. When you go abroad, you may be exposed to different belief systems, which gives you an opportunity to learn more about your host country's culture.
It is a good idea to research religion in your host country before you go abroad. Maybe you're used to being part of the religious majority at home, but will be part of the religious minority abroad. If you are planning to practice your religion abroad, you can see if there are any places of worship you can visit. You'll also want to find out what degree of religious tolerance there is in your host country. Will it be safe for you to wear religious symbols and/or clothing? How are atheists perceived?
By going abroad, you'll gain a new perspective on religion. You'll return home with an increased familiarity with other belief systems and a greater respect for them.
Visit the Religion and Spirituality Abroad Topic in the Travel Lounge
Must Ask Questions about Religion
· What is the dominant religion in my host country?
· Will I be part of the religious majority or minority abroad?
· Are there any laws regarding religion? Is there a separation between religion and government?
· How tolerant is the host country of other religions? What about atheists and agnostics?
· Is it safe for me to wear religious symbols or clothing?
Tips about Religion
· Stay open minded about religious practices, even if you receive criticism for your beliefs.
· If you are planning to practice your religion abroad, you may want to find out what places of worship there are.
· If you have religious dietary restrictions, be sure to let your program director or appropriate staff know ahead of time.
· Depending on where you go, religion may have a larger or smaller role than it does in the U.S.
· Use your experience abroad to learn about world religions the role they play in diverse cultures.

Favorite Filler Episode...?
Basically, its a thread to discuss your favorite filler (if any). Because although alot of you hate fillers and are waiting for "Naruto II" to finally get animated. I thought i'd create this thread to help you get that off your mind (actually not really I just wanna discuss what your favorite filler was :P)
Mine being the following episodes-
Are spoiler warnings necessary? I dont think a filler is classified as a spoiler... but anyway... read at your own risk if for some reason you haven't seen the following episodes yet...
Episode - 101
I found it hilarious, filler about Team 7 trying to find out how Kakashi's face looks like behind the mask. During second half of the episode the episode, its the same scenario but you find out these 3 goons known as the HAZE Ninja's are after Kakashi to get their revenge for what he did to them a while back.
NOTE: During the Hot Sping scene, the leader of the Haze ninja's pulls a dart Blower from out of his ass... lol
Episode - 169-173 ("The Lost Pages" Scenario)
^ Although a part of the filler Arc, its worth watching it so that you can learn more about Orochimaru's experiments and about Anko's past with Orochimaru and how she had obtained the Cursed Seal.
Episode - 161
Funnier than 174. In this filler episode Gai and Lee leave the village for a while to train. While they are away 2 guys walk into the village of Konoha dressed as Lee and Gai-Sensei, everybody in the village stares and recognizes the imposters. When this is reported to Tsunade she and everybody else decides to have some fun with the situation... Everybody knows they are imposters except for Naruto who constantly beleives that he is training under Gai & Lee.
Episode - 174
Probably not worth watching this filler, but it is pretty funny. Its an episode about a rich spoiled kid who likes Ninja's, so Narut's mission is to baby-sit him for a day. I found it really funny how that kid just threw money out like nothing. If I was Naruto I would've taken the money and let his ass die in that forest. lol
The only thing I didn't like about a majority of those fillers were the fight scenes, they all look low quality and not so interesting, not to mention the villians got odd looking hair or wierd looking lips that make them look like designs for characters from "Pokemon".

A large snow storm rolling out of the southern Rocky Mountains is more likely to do heavy damage in Kansas and Oklahoma than Nebraska and Iowa.
Tom Kines, a meteorologist with AccuWeather, said Sunday that the storm will probably leave 2 to 3 inches of snow in Grand Island, Omaha and Des Moines. He said the storm is likely to leave between 9 to 12 inches in the Kansas cities of Dodge, Wichita and Topeka.
"At this point, it looks like the storm will be too far south to give us a true snow storm," Kines said. "The further north you go will produce a sharp cutoff with most of Nebraska and Iowa getting very little, maybe 3 inches of snow at most."
Kines predicted light snow will begin to fall Monday and continue through Monday night and into Tuesday. High temperatures for the Omaha metropolitan area will be in the lower 30s and Wednesday should be generally dry, he said.
"Once this system passes through, there should be several days of quiet weather."
That prediction is more than fine for city and state employees who have been working since Thursday to clear up an average of 8 inches of snow across the Omaha metropolitan area. Lincoln, according to the National Weather Service, received about 5 inches of snow while Grand Island had 10 and North Platte reported about 7.
A check of a map on the Nebraska Department of Roads found no road closures due to ice or snow Sunday. Highway cameras from around the state universally revealed roads clear of snow and traffic flowing freely.
Scott McIntyre, who heads Omaha's snow removal operation, said crews were on 24-hour shifts through noon on Saturday. About 30 public works staff members began pre-treating the streets for the next snow event Sunday at 6 p.m.
"We will probably go back to the 24-hour shifts for three days until this next threat comes through," McIntyre said. "I think things went real well for this last storm but there's always a street that gets missed or a few residents that would like things done a little differently."
McIntyre said he's aware of some cars being ticketed by police for not complying with parking guidelines after the city declared a snow emergency, but he didn't have an exact number.
"A lot of people are making the effort to comply with the plan and that's good," he said. "It may take several more of these events before everyone is in compliance."
Aida Amoura, a spokeswoman for the Omaha mayor's office, said a snow emergency declaration is not expected to be made for the coming snowfall. Feedback from the public over snow removal has been overwhelmingly positive.
The snow removal hotline at 402-444-4919, Amoura said, has had more compliments that complaints.
"People seem to be catching on with the snow emergency rules," she said. "We're getting the word out and that's really been a case of the community working together."

Neutral Experience
Easy Interview
The process took 1+ week - interviewed at KaVo Kerr Group in March 2010.
Interview Details – Company recruiter was friendly and pleasant, very casual, but I got the impression the decision to hire hadn't been firmly established and the communications leading up to the phone interview were erratic in nature. The phone interview was surprisingly pleasant but the interviewer downplayed or side-stepped the costs associated with a move from the midwest to a very affluent part of southern California.

Abstract or Table of Contents
We measure the elastic response of a free-standing lipid membrane to a local indentation by using an atomic force microscope. Starting point is a planar gold-coated alumina substrate with a chemisorbed 3-mercaptopropionic acid monolayer displaying circular pores of very well defined and tunable size, over which bilayers composed of N,N,-dimethyl-N,N,- dioctadecylammonium bromide or 1,2-dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane chloride were spread. Centrally indenting these ''nanodrums'' with an atomic force microscope tip yields force-indentation curves, which we quantitatively analyze by solving the corresponding shape equations of continuum curvature elasticity. Since the measured response depends in a known way on the system geometry (pore size, tip radius) and on material parameters (bending modulus, lateral tension), this opens the possibility to monitor local elastic properties of lipid membranes in a well-controlled setting.

Maggie came to my work place and we went for a lunch run over the fields, through the woods, and around the lake at the UGA Intramural Fields. Got to hear lots of fun stories about her study abroad. She had a good pair of advisers and she got to meet a number of important people since teh advisers were important people and new everyone and she got to see lots of cool places well off the tourist map. I have two amazing daughters. Maggie is trying to get her fitness back. She ran where it was hard to run but slacked off and laid on the beach in the easy place to run. Actually, her ankle start hurting from running in the same shoes everyday -- she likes switching off -- but she went to the free sunrise and sunset kickboxing, zumba and other ftiness classes on the beach. This was fun. Hoep we can get one more run in before she heads back to Asheville to work with the summer plumbing crew at Warren Wilson College. She travels, she runs, she plumbs.
How fun! She must have some fascinating stories.

Speech to the Electors of Bristol[November 3, 1774] Burke was elected in 1765 to the House of Commons from the borough of Wendover, which was "owned" by Lord Verney (its voters were his tenants and did his bidding). But in 1774, Lord Verney told Burke that financial difficulties prevented him from renominating the impecunious Burke in that year's election. At the last moment, however, after the public poll (which went on for days) had already begun in Bristol, Britain's second most important port, Joseph Harford and Richard Champion, merchants of that city, nominated Burke for one of Bristol's two seats. Burke rushed to Bristol and delivered a speech on his arrival there. What is printed here, however, is Burke's speech at the conclusion of the poll, after he had been elected. It has become the classic exposition of a certain view of the role of an elected representative. To understand some of the things that Burke says in this speech, one will need a bit of historical background. In those days, each parliamentary constituency elected two members of Parliament. Bristol's previous incumbents had been Lord Clare (a courtesy title, since, if he had been a nobleman, he could not have sat in the Commons), a Whig, and Matthew Brickdale, a Tory. But the Whigs were dissatisfied with Lord Clare, who had gone over to the court party, and thought they could take Brickdale's seat as well in the 1774 election. Their first nominee was Henry Cruger, Jr., who came of a prominent commercial family. Some of the Crugers had emigrated to New York, and Henry's uncle, John Cruger, was the Speaker of the New York Assembly when that body elected Edmund Burke in 1770 as the colony's agent at the British royal court. Burke was acquainted with him through official correspondence, and he was still the Speaker at the time of the election in Bristol. His nephew, Henry Cruger, was a political radical, as radicalism was reckoned in that day, and some of his faction of the Whigs had sounded out Burke for the second candidacy. When the two of them met in Burke's home in Beaconsfield, however, it became clear that they had important differences in political philosophy, and Cruger declined to stand for election with Burke. Burke's last-minute nomination was the result of Lord Clare's suddenly withdrawing on the day the poll opened, because he had been assured of a safe seat in another constituency. Harford and Champion, men of more moderate views than Cruger's, now nominated Burke and urged him to come at once to Bristol. Cruger was easily elected, but Burke won only after a closely contested poll. Brickdale, following a custom of losers still practiced to the present day, sought to have the election results nullified on grounds of fraud. A large number of those who had voted, he alleged, were not freemen of Bristol and therefore not entitled to cast a vote. He petitioned the House of Commons not to seat Burke; a committee held hearings and reported in Burke's favor, and the House accepted its recommendation. The important part of this speech, however, is Burke's declaration of the independence that an elected representative ought to enjoy in Parliament. He not only stated his view but acted on it, in ways which his Two Letters on the Trade of Ireland, printed below, illustrate. One may well believe that on the issues on which Burke acted contrary to the wishes of his constituents, he was right and they were wrong. But the discontent he caused in them made it obvious that he could not win in the election of 1780, so he withdrew from the poll and accepted a safe seat from his parliamentary patron, Lord Rockingham, which he held until his retirement in 1794. Mr. Edmund Burke's Speech to the Electors of Bristol[On his being declared by the Sheriffs, duly elected one of the Representatives in Parliament for that City, on Thursday the 3d of November, 1774] Gentlemen, I cannot avoid sympathizing strongly with the feelings of the Gentleman who has received the same honour that you have conferred on me. If he, who was bred and passed his whole Life amongst you; if he, who, through the easy gradations of acquaintance, friendship, and esteem, has obtained the honour, which seems of itself, naturally and almost insensibly, to meet with those, who, by the even tenour of pleasing manners and social virtues, slide into the love and confidence of their fellow-citizens; if he cannot speak but with great emotion on this subject, surrounded as he is on all sides with his old friends; you will have the goodness to excuse me, if my real, unaffected embarrassment prevents me from expressing my gratitude to you as I ought. I was brought hither under the disadvantage of being unknown, even by sight, to any of you. No previous canvass was made for me.1 I was put in nomination after the poll was opened. I did not appear until it was far advanced. If, under all these accumulated disadvantages, your good opinion has carried me to this happy point of success; you will pardon me, if I can only say to you collectively, as I said to you individually, simply and plainly, I thank you—I am obliged to you—I am not insensible of your kindness. This is all that I am able to say for the inestimable favour you have conferred upon me. But I cannot be satisfied, without saying a little more in defence of the right you have to confer such a favour. The person that appeared here as counsel for the Candidate,1 who so long and so earnestly solicited your votes, thinks proper to deny, that a very great part of you have any votes to give. He fixes a standard period of time in his own imagination, not what the law defines, but merely what the convenience of his Client suggests, by which he would cut off, at one stroke, all those freedoms, which are the dearest privileges of your Corporation;2 which the common law authorizes: which your Magistrates are compelled to grant; which come duly authenticated into this Court;3 and are saved in the clearest words, and with the most religious care and tenderness, in that very act of Parliament, which was made to regulate the Elections by Freemen, and to prevent all possible abuses in making them. I do not intend to argue the matter here. My learned Counsel has supported your Cause with his usual Ability; the worthy Sheriffs have acted with their usual equity, and I have no doubt, that the same equity, which dictates the return, will guide the final determination. I had the honour, in conjunction with many far wiser men, to contribute a very small assistance, but however some assistance, to the forming the Judicature which is to try such questions. It would be unnatural in me, to doubt the Justice of that Court,1 in the trial of my own cause, to which I have been so active to give jurisdiction over every other. I assure the worthy Freemen, and this Corporation, that, if the Gentleman perseveres in the intentions, which his present warmth dictates to him, I will attend their cause with diligence, and I hope with effect. For, if I know any thing of myself, it is not my own Interest in it, but my full conviction, that induces me to tell you— I think there is not a shadow of doubt in the case. I do not imagine that you find me rash in declaring myself, or very forward in troubling you. From the beginning to the end of the election, I have kept silence in all matters of discussion. I have never asked a question of a voter on the other side, or supported a doubtful vote on my own. I respected the abilities of my managers; I relied on the candour of the court. I think the worthy sheriffs will bear me witness, that I have never once made an attempt to impose upon their reason, to surprize their justice, or to ruffle their temper. I stood on the hustings (except when I gave my thanks to those who favoured me with their votes) less like a Candidate, than an unconcerned Spectator of a public proceeding. But here the face of things is altered. Here is an attempt for a general massacre of Suffrages; an attempt, by a promiscuous carnage of friends and foes, to exterminate above two thousand votes, including seven hundred polled for the Gentleman himself, who now complains, and who would destroy the Friends whom he has obtained, only because he cannot obtain as many of them as he wishes. How he will be permitted, in another place, to stultify and disable himself, and to plead against his own acts, is another question. The law will decide it. I shall only speak of it as it concerns the propriety of public conduct in this city. I do not pretend to lay down rules of decorum for other Gentlemen. They are best judges of the mode of proceeding that will recommend them to the favour of their fellow-citizens. But I confess, I should look rather awkward, if I had been the very first to produce the new copies of freedom,1 if I had persisted in producing them to the last; if I had ransacked, with the most unremitting industry, and the most penetrating research, the remotest corners of the kingdom to discover them; if I were then, all at once, to turn short, and declare, that I had been sporting all this while with the right of election: and that I had been drawing out a Poll, upon no sort of rational grounds, which disturbed the peace of my fellow-citizens for a month together—I really, for my part, should appear awkward under such circumstances. It would be still more awkward in me, if I were gravely to look the sheriffs in the face, and to tell them, they were not to determine my cause on my own principles; nor to make the return upon those votes, upon which I had rested my election. Such would be my appearance to the court and magistrates. But how should I appear to the Voters themselves? If I had gone round to the citizens intitled to Freedom, and squeezed them by the hand— "Sir, I humbly beg your Vote—I shall be eternally thankful—may I hope for the honour of your support?—Well!—come—we shall see you at the Council-house." —If I were then to deliver them to my managers, pack them into tallies, vote them off in court, and when I heard from the Bar— "Such a one only! and such a one for ever!—he's my man!" — "Thank you, good Sir—Hah! my worthy friend! thank you kindly—that's an honest fellow—how is your good family?" —Whilst these words were hardly out of my mouth, if I should have wheeled round at once, and told them— "Get you gone, you pack of worthless fellows! you have no votes—you are Usurpers! you are intruders on the rights of real freemen! I will have nothing to do with you! you ought never to have been produced at this Election, and the sheriffs ought not to have admitted you to poll." Gentlemen, I should make a strange figure, if my conduct had been of this sort. I am not so old an acquaintance of yours as the worthy Gentleman. Indeed I could not have ventured on such kind of freedoms with you. But I am bound, and I will endeavour, to have justice done to the rights of Freemen; even though I should, at the same time, be obliged to vindicate the former1 part of my antagonist's conduct against his own present inclinations. I owe myself, in all things, to all the freemen of this city. My particular friends have a demand on me, that I should not deceive their expectations. Never was cause or man supported with more constancy, more activity, more spirit. I have been supported with a zeal indeed and heartiness in my friends, which (if their object had been at all proportioned to their endeavours) could never be sufficiently commended. They supported me upon the most liberal principles. They wished that the members for Bristol should be chosen for the City, and for their Country at large, and not for themselves. So far they are not disappointed. If I possess nothing else, I am sure I possess the temper that is fit for your service. I know nothing of Bristol, but by the favours I have received, and the virtues I have seen exerted in it. I shall ever retain, what I now feel, the most perfect and grateful attachment to my friends—and I have no enmities; nor resentment. I never can consider fidelity to engagements, and constancy in friendships, but with the highest approbation; even when those noble qualities are employed against my own pretensions. The Gentleman, who is not fortunate as I have been in this contest, enjoys, in this respect, a consolation full of honour both to himself and to his friends. They have certainly left nothing undone for his service. As for the trifling petulance, which the rage of party stirs up in little minds, though it should shew itself even in this court, it has not made the slightest impression on me. The highest flight of such clamorous birds is winged in an inferior region of the air. We hear them, and we look upon them, just as you, Gentlemen, when you enjoy the serene air on your lofty rocks, look down upon the Gulls, that skim the mud of your river, when it is exhausted of its tide. I am sorry I cannot conclude, without saying a word on a topick touched upon by my worthy Colleague.1 I wish that topick had been passed by; at a time when I have so little leisure to discuss it. But since he has thought proper to throw it out, I owe you a clear explanation of my poor sentiments on that subject. He tells you, that "the topick of Instructions2 has occasioned much altercation and uneasiness in this City"; and he expresses himself (if I understand him rightly) in favour of the coercive authority of such instructions. Certainly, Gentlemen, it ought to be the happiness and glory of a Representative, to live in the strictest union, the closest correspondence, and the most unreserved communication with his constituents. Their wishes ought to have great weight with him; their opinion high respect; their business unremitted attention. It is his duty to sacrifice his repose, his pleasures, his satisfactions, to theirs; and, above all, ever, and in all cases, to prefer their interest to his own. But, his unbiassed opinion, his mature judgement, his enlightened conscience, he ought not to sacrifice to you; to any man, or to any sett of men living. These he does not derive from your pleasure; no, nor from the Law and the Constitution. They are a trust from Providence, for the abuse of which he is deeply answerable. Your Representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgement; and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices it to your opinion. My worthy Colleague says, his Will ought to be subservient to yours. If that be all, the thing is innocent. If Government were a matter of Will upon any side, yours, without question, ought to be superior. But Government and Legislation are matters of reason and judgement, and not of inclination; and, what sort of reason is that, in which the determination precedes the discussion; in which one sett of men deliberate, and another decide; and where those who form the conclusion are perhaps three hundred miles distant from those who hear the arguments? To deliver an opinion, is the right of all men; that of Constituents is a weighty and respectable opinion, which a Representative ought always to rejoice to hear; and which he ought always most seriously to consider. But authoritative instructions; Mandates issued, which the Member is bound blindly and implicitly to obey, to vote, and to argue for, though contrary to the clearest conviction of his judgement and conscience; these are things utterly unknown to the laws of this land, and which arise from a fundamental Mistake of the whole order and tenour of our Constitution. Parliament is not a Congress of Ambassadors from different and hostile interests; which interests each must maintain, as an Agent and Advocate, against other Agents and Advocates; but Parliament is a deliberative Assembly of one Nation, with one Interest, that of the whole; where, not local Purposes, not local Prejudices ought to guide, but the general Good, resulting from the general Reason of the whole. You chuse a Member indeed; but when you have chosen him, he is not Member of Bristol, but he is a Member of Parliament. If the local Constituent should have an Interest, or should form an hasty Opinion, evidently opposite to the real good of the rest of the Community, the Member for that place ought to be as far, as any other, from any endeavour to give it Effect. I beg pardon for saying so much on this subject. I have been unwillingly drawn into it; but I shall ever use a respectful frankness of communication with you. Your faithful friend, your devoted servant, I shall be to the end of my life: A flatterer you do not wish for. On this point of instructions, however, I think it scarcely possible, we ever can have any sort of difference. Perhaps I may give you too much, rather than too little trouble. From the first hour I was encouraged to court your favour to this happy day of obtaining it, I have never promised you any thing, but humble and persevering endeavours to do my duty. The weight of that duty, I confess, makes me tremble; and whoever well considers what it is, of all things in the world will fly from what has the least likeness to a positive and precipitate engagement. To be a good Member of Parliament, is, let me tell you, no easy task; especially at this time, when there is so strong a disposition to run into the perilous extremes of servile compliance, or wild popularity. To unite circumspection with vigour, is absolutely necessary; but it is extremely difficult. We are now Members for a rich commercial City; this City, however, is but a part of a rich commercial Nation, the Interests of which are various, multiform, and intricate. We are Members for that great Nation, which however is itself but part of a great Empire, extended by our Virtue and our Fortune to the farthest limits of the East and of the West. All these wide-spread Interests must be considered; must be compared; must be reconciled if possible. We are Members for a free Country; and surely we all know, that the machine of a free Constitution is no simple thing; but as intricate and as delicate, as it is valuable. We are Members in a great and ancient Monarchy; and we must preserve religiously, the true legal rights of the Sovereign, which form the Key-stone that binds together the noble and well-constructed Arch of our Empire and our Constitution. A Constitution made up of balanced Powers must ever be a critical thing. As such I mean to touch that part of it which comes within my reach. I know my Inability, and I wish for support from every Quarter. In particular I shall aim at the friendship, and shall cultivate the best Correspondence, of the worthy Colleague you have given me. I trouble you no farther than once more to thank you all; you, Gentlemen, for your Favours; the Candidates for their temperate and polite behaviour; and the Sheriffs, for a Conduct which may give a Model for all who are in public Stations.

By HOWARD CURTIS
"International business" can mean different things to different people. If you own and operate an online business, and in the daily course of doing business you occasionally fulfill orders for international customers, perhaps you consider yourself to be an international businessperson. If you regularly travel back and forth from two or more countries in the course of your job role, you too may consider yourself to be operating in the international business arena. But the truth is that not everyone who is engaged in business internationally is an international business professional. There are certain skills and qualities that set these elite professionals apart from the rest.
Defining "International Business"
At its most basic, Wikipedia defines international business as "all those business activities which involve cross border transactions of goods, services, resources between two or more nations." This definition encompasses the broadest possible range of activities that could potentially fall under the umbrella of international business — from the exchange of goods and services to a sharing of knowledge and ideas. This definition, while accurate, does not distinguish individuals possessing special education and skills, such as those who hold an online international business degree to pursue a career in international business.
6 Steps to Success When Traveling
If you aspire to succeed in the international business arena, it will take more than a website with the capacity to accept international orders or a transatlantic phone line to accomplish your goal. Specifically, recruiters and professionals in this field highlight six steps that can prepare you for all the success you can handle on the international business stage.
- Proficiency in multiple languages. Individuals who learn more than one language are already at an advantage in an international forum. If you have your heart set on working in a specific industry that tends to concentrate in certain geographical areas, the smart choice is to begin studying the language in those areas well in advance of the start of your career. However, it is never too late to learn a new language — and there is a good chance that your colleagues across the sea will appreciate even your earliest attempts to learn their language and will encourage you to continue.
- Cultural sensitivity. Here, it is critical to be aware of what daily life is like in the foreign country you intend to work in. You need to understand the people as well as the culture, including dress codes; holidays; religious events; cultural happenings; and legal, gender and financial issues. Your knowledge and awareness will help you sidestep potential cultural "hot button" issues as you work to make your business goals a reality.
- Resilience to travel and long hours. There is no doubt that international business takes an extra toll on your private life and your free time. You can expect to spend many hours traveling and long hours at work. There will be differences in time which will take a toll on your body and mind if you don't get enough rest. Your evening might be your colleagues' morning, or your weekend time might be their Monday morning.
- Top-notch communications skills. While Americans in general are considered to be rather relaxed and accepting, in some countries a lack of formality in communications, etiquette and procedure will result in a lack of business success. Employing extra sensitivity to how you conduct communications and meetings is never optional in an international business setting.
- The right education and training. With the right educational background and training, you will already be aware of potential pitfall issues before you start your career, and you'll be much better equipped to sidestep them with ease.
- Creativity and flexibility. You can expect everything about the countries you work in to be different than your own home country — from the hours, the work style, the weather, the personalities, the cuisine, the driving and even the speed at which negotiations take place. If you are a creative, flexible person who sees possibility rather than roadblocks in these differences, you will likely do quite well in an international business career.
Equipped with these valuable six steps to success, you can forestall errors of judgment or behavior, build new international relationships with ease and achieve your international business goals to the mutual advantage of all involved.
