William J. Chiego: 20 Years as Director
[Excerpt from the Fall 2011 McNay Members' Magazine Impressions]
2011 marks a milestone in the McNay Art Museum's history as we celebrate William J. Chiego's 20th year as director. When the Chiego family moved to San Antonio from Ohio, where he served as director of the Allen Memorial Art Museum at Oberlin College (1986-1991), Chiego faced the challenge of bringing the McNay into the 21st century.
From his first days as director, Dr. Chiego-or Bill as many call him-worked determinedly to establish goals with the Board of Trustees and achieve the highest museum standards important for the McNay's growth and stability. Creating key departments and positions became early priorities. His first years saw the hiring of a collections manager, curator of education, curator of prints and drawings, head librarian, and security manager, as well as construction of Leeper Auditorium and an increase in programs for a range of audiences. By the end of Chiego's first decade, a curator of art after 1945, manager of buildings and grounds, along with an expanded development team had joined the roster. At this 20th year, the museum's full-time staff has grown from fewer than 30 in 1991 to nearly 90. Expanding and caring for the collection persist as duties that William J. Chiego takes on with zealous enthusiasm. During these 20 years, the museum's collection more than doubled from 9,000 to nearly 19,000 works of art, with emphasis on modern sculpture, prints and drawings (especially Mexican prints), theatre arts, and contemporary works in various media. Bringing in conservators to assess the condition of works, along with a total renovation of the museum's dated environmental systems, he emphasizes preservation of the art through a comprehensive conservation program with prioritized treatment of individual objects.
Chiego also pursues an ambitious schedule of exhibitions organized by both McNay staff and other museums. Exhibitions ranging from shows of major artists like Auguste Rodin, Edward Hopper, Joel Shapiro, and Richard Stankiewicz, to surveys of important art movements such as Constructivist theatre design, modern Mexican printmaking, Pop art, and Pre-Raphaelite art have come to the McNay under his directorship. Among the notable exhibitions that William J. Chiego organized for the McNay was the exceptionally successful O'Keeffe and Texas (1998).
In 1996, he initiated a series of South Texas artists' retrospectives with support from collectors Barbara and Harold J. Wood. Featuring Carl Rice Embrey, César Martínez, Reginald Rowe, Kent Rush, and Kathy Vargas, the retrospectives included three organized by Chiego, with catalogues authored by him. Additional McNay publications since 1991 highlight the history of the museum and its areas of collection strength, including Modern Art at The McNay (2001); An Eye for the Stage: The Tobin Collection of Theatre Arts at the McNay Art Museum (2004); From Goya to Johns: Fifty Master Prints at the McNay Art Museum (2004); as well as two new publications, McNay Art Museum: An Introduction (2010) and the soon-to-appear book Jane & Arthur Stieren Center for Exhibitions, McNay Art Museum.
In 1997 Chiego initiated a strategic site and space plan, as it became clear that an impressive exhibition schedule and a growing collection could not coexist without additional space. The McNay trustees, working with the director, reached a consensus to restore and renovate the former McNay residence and environmental systems, build an addition for exhibitions, and increase the endowment to support an expanded museum. The plan culminated with the completion of an over $50 million capital campaign and the 2008 opening of the Jane & Arthur Stieren Center for Exhibitions, nearly doubling the size of the museum. Allowing for year-round installation of significant collection works in the former residence and surrounding additions, the Stieren Center is now the locus for major exhibitions of a greater variety and size, including George Rickey Kinetic Sculpture: A Retrospective; Reclaimed: Paintings from the Collection of Jacques Goudstikker; and George Nelson: Architect, Writer, Designer, Teacher.
Along the way, Chiego instituted annual fundraising events, established an annual fund, and, working with the McNay's board, restructured and invigorated the membership program, which has grown from nearly 1,600 in 1991 to 4,300 today.
The McNay
Built by artist and educator Marion Koogler McNay in the 1920s, the Spanish Colonial Revival-style residence opened as Texas's first museum of modern art in 1954. Today more than 100,000 visitors a year enjoy works by modern masters including Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, Edward Hopper, Georgia O'Keeffe, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. In June 2008, the museum opened the 45,000-square-foot Jane and Arthur Stieren Center for Exhibitions designed by internationally renowned French architect Jean-Paul Viguier. Nearly doubling the McNay's exhibition space, the Stieren Center includes three separate outdoor sculpture galleries.
Tuesday-Friday, 10 am-4 pm;
Thursday, 10 am-9 pm*;
Saturday, 10 am-5 pm;
Sunday, noon-5 pm.
The McNay is closed on Mondays, New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
*Free general admission from 4 to 9 pm.
General Admission
McNay members, free; children 12 and under, free; adults, $8; students 13 and over, seniors (65+), and active military, $5.
An extra admission charge of $5 applies during special exhibitions. There is no charge for general admission on Thursday nights and on the first Sunday of the month. At these times, the extra admission charge applies only for entrance to the special exhibition.

Your opera ticket is your train ticket
A purchased ticket entitles the holder to use all local transport on the day of the performance and is valid from five hours before the performance begins and afterwards, until the public transport system closes down. If you wish to travel first class you will have to up-grade.
Subscription ticket holders' passes also entitle them to use free public transport to travel to and from performances. This does unfortunately NOT apply if you have purchased your ticket through Print@Home-Tickets. We hope this will be possible in the future, when the RMV have come up with a way to make this fraud free.
"Child Minding" at Oper Frankfurt
During performances which take place on afternoons we offer free child minding (click on this link to find dates when this service is available). Please contact Janine Köster, telephone number 069 212 37 348, to make arrangements.
The offer applies only to children between the ages of three and eight: the children are looked after by two teachers and will also be given something to eat - at no cost. When you hand your children over to the carers you must let them know exactly where you are sitting so that you can be found quickly if the need arises.
Programmes on sale at the pre-booking box office
You can buy your programme for the opera when purchasing your ticket at the Städtischen Bühnen's pre-booking box office (programmes for premieres are not available until one day before the first performance). The programmes normally cost €4.50, exceptions to the rule are the less expensive programmes for our productions in the Depot. Our free, and informative, opera magazine is also available at the pre-booking box office.
Introductory talks before the performance
Oper Frankfurt's dramaturges offer free introductory talks (in GERMAN about the synopsis, context and production) half an hour before every performance begins. These take place in the opera house's Holzfoyer (on the first floor) or in the foyer of the Bockenheimer Depot.

1948 Super A Running Problem...dies at will!

1948 Super A Running Problem...dies at will!
Hello Everyone,
Im new here so please be easy on me!
Have a 1948 farmall that Im trying to get running right for a family friend.
BEFORE: tractor would start and run like a champ for 20-30 minutes but then cut out and once it started doing this, would need to sit for 30 min- hour before it would run correctly. However the tractor would always immediately start back up after dying.
SO, after getting my hands on it, I rebuilt the carb to clean it out and repair seals that were leaking in it, found a bare wire contacting metal, added the clip that holds the needle to the float in the carb that was missing, tested the condenser and coil on a multimeter ( appeared ok). I also repolarized the generator and replaced the battery as it was shot.
AFTER: Tractor will now run for 45 min-1hr before it has the same problem. Battery is charging from the generator.
See the video of what it does after that time...any ideas???
Re: 1948 Super A Running Problem...dies at will!
In your description, it sounds very much like a failing coil, but watching your video, I'm inclined to think it's more a fuel flow issue. Check your fuel flow at & through the carb. Also check the fuel cap vent holes, if the tank's not venting, it will act exactly as it's doing.
By the way, welcome to the forum! We have only a few chosen one's we beat on regularly.
Re: 1948 Super A Running Problem...dies at will!
Replace the coil.
Edit: The video sounds like a fuel flow problem. But the 45 minute to hour run before the problem occurs is confusing. Normal fuel flow obstructions only take a minute or two to appear in engine performance. Unless you only have a small restriction in the fuel flow - not quite enough of a fuel flow to fully keep up with carburetor/tractor usage.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: 1948 Super A Running Problem...dies at will!
Eugene, that's why I dwelled a bit on the fuel cap, sometimes it takes a while for that to show up.
Re: 1948 Super A Running Problem...dies at will!
Welcome to the forum. After watching the video, unless there was a time lapse between the stalling and restarting, the problem acted like my H did several years ago. It would idle fine, but die under load. I finally found a piece of an old fuel cap gasket had fallen into the tank and made its way into the shutoff, letting gas flow slowly, but not allowing full flow, acting as a check valve. Probably a long shot, but you might want to check. Good luck! John
Re: 1948 Super A Running Problem...dies at will!
As soon as it stalls yank the gas cap off and listen for a vaccum sound. it seems a lot like the tank not venting. Does it only happen under load or will it do it at an idle as well?
Re: 1948 Super A Running Problem...dies at will!
Well guys, I tried leavin the fuel cap loose last time. There is some debris in fuel supply ( i have seen alot poorer tanks). Keep in mind this was after an hour.
Not sure what to think of this but with cultivators down, upon restart, loading up the clutch will stall it going forwArd but not reverse
My experience suggests its still coil since heat decreases coil efficiency and cylinder pressure will take more energy to fire. Load being cyl pressure etc...
Does it matter if the coil bench tested? Probably not considering its the heat that I was suspecting...
Thanks for all the help and that was real time approximately 1 hour into running on a sunny breezy 80 degree day.
EDIT: so it would run 30 min with corroded loose connections and a crap battery, now it runs 60 min with a new battery and clean terminals, and a working generator...sure sounds like a bandaid for a weak coil now that i think about it.
Re: 1948 Super A Running Problem...dies at will!
Someone also mentioned a screen the the inlet elbow at the carb body. I blew that brass elbow out and disconnected the section of hardline but did not remove the elbow from the body. There are no inline filters ( thinkin about puttin one in) but the carb was gutted and i checked the stand pipee in the tank once when it stalled and it looked clear ???
Re: 1948 Super A Running Problem...dies at will!
The problem with it being a fuel flow issue is how long it takes to appear. Either a fuel flow issue will show up right away if it's a cap/line thing, or at random intervals if you have "floaters" in the tank.
Since it is happening after a regular interval, I would put my money on electrical.
Coils are $25. Not a huge expense. Worth a shot if you ask me.
Re: 1948 Super A Running Problem...dies at will!
I was having the same issue on my 51 cub. I replaced the coil, fixed the vent on my fuel cap and found my newly rebuilt carb needed the float adjusted 3 times BUT now it runs like a Singer sewing machine. Good luck buddy. Btw these guys on here truly helped me with my entire restore. Greatest forum around.
Re: 1948 Super A Running Problem...dies at will!
To comment on your question about bench testing the coil - In my opinion it means nothing if the coil bench tests good. You are correct in that the heat is the problem. I would substitute a new or known-good coil for yours and see if that doesn't cure the problem. You may still have some fuel issues but my money is on the coil as your main problem and it is causing the symptoms you describe.
If a coil bench tests bad it is probably bad. If it bench tests good, it could still be bad.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Re: 1948 Super A Running Problem...dies at will!
Replaced coil this morning and rebuilt generator side of harness. Also put in brand new sediment bowl with screen and shutoff. Now it ran for 20 minutes...
Rebuilding the coil harness to console now. The wires are so old and brittle. It sure does act like electrical.
Anyone seen a main so leaned out it dies when hot??? Thats the only fuel thing I can think of...
EDIT: im pretty sure I was just able to make it sputter and keep goin for a few seconds using the choke. Ughhhh! This thing drives me nuts! Even though ive repaired all the cobble job wiring the right way that obviously tells me its back to " air or fuel"... Too lean main setting, cracked intake, or bad adjustment on the floats. I set the zenith floats at 1 3/8. Can I fill it up more? I gotta get my hands on some propane or somethin.
Re: 1948 Super A Running Problem...dies at will!
That is acting just like my 140 when i got crap in the fuel line.
I assume you checked the fuel bowl inlet screen (I think you have one on the Zenith). This screen is very easy to clog up.
And you checked the the flow coming from the tank. (it should be a strong steady stream of fuel)

Re: 1948 Super A Running Problem...dies at will!
No resolution. Rebuilt carb and brand new sediment assembly. Owner swears it ran 2 hours straight the other night with no hiccup. Strong stream to inlet of carb...headed back tomorrow for one last stab at it!

Jason Giambi, Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez were elected by the fans as starters, while Gary Sheffield and Mariano Rivera were selected in the voting by players, coaches and managers. Tom Gordon was one of seven players added to the team by Torre, who will manage the AL squad for the sixth time since 1997. Hideki Matsui was added as the AL Final Vote winner, and pitcher Javier Vazquez was named as a replacement for injured Tim Hudson on Thursday.
"We have some guys who know how to play and can do some exciting things," Jeter said. "It's good for the organization."
The Midsummer Classic will take place on Tuesday, July 13, at Houston's Minute Maid Park.
Jeter returns to the All-Star team after missing out last year for the first time since 1998. This is the first time in his career that Jeter has been elected by the fans, as A-Rod's move to third base opened the position up. Jeter received 2,052,880 votes, over 400,000 more than second-place finisher Nomar Garciaparra.
"I've been close before, but Nomar got me on the last day or two [in 1999]," Jeter said. "It makes you feel good that the fans want to see you on that stage."
Joining Jeter at shortstop are Baltimore's Miguel Tejada and Texas' Michael Young. This is Jeter's sixth All-Star appearance, having made the team in each season from 1998-2002. Jeter went 3-for-3 in the 2000 game in Atlanta, earning MVP honors.
Jeter, who battled a slump in the early months (he was hitting .189 on May 25), has been on fire ever since. He hit .396 in June with nine home runs, scoring 24 runs in 23 games.
"I think they appreciate what Derek represents. He's a special kid," said Torre of the fans. "Jeter, where he's come to over the last month and a half, that's pretty crazy."
For Rodriguez, this marks his eighth All-Star appearance, but the first as a third baseman. Rodriguez, in his first season with the Yankees after winning the AL MVP award last year, has been everything New York expected offensively, and has played third base like a Gold Glover in his debut season at the position. Texas' Hank Blalock, a former teammate of A-Rod's, will back him up.
Rodriguez received 2,915,901 votes, easily outpacing former teammate Hank Blalock by more than 1.6 million votes. Blalock was named as a reserve for the AL.
"The fact that the fans voted you is nice," Rodriguez said. "Every time you go, it humbles you -- makes you feel appreciative. The fact that the fans voted by just an overwhelming margin makes you that much prouder.
"It's a great honor," he added. "You're there to represent the American League, and now the World Series is at stake."
Giambi is making his fifth consecutive All-Star appearance, having started in 2000 and 2002. He beat out Chicago's Frank Thomas for the starting spot, and will be backed up by Boston's David Ortiz and Kansas City's Ken Harvey.
Giambi, Jeter and Rodriguez will be joined in the starting infield by former Yankee Alfonso Soriano, as the second baseman was the leading votegetter in earning his third All-Star start. Detroit's Ivan Rodriguez beat out Yankees catcher Jorge Posada for the starting job behind the plate, while Cleveland's Victor Martinez was voted in on the player ballot.
"My toughest call was to see Jorge not make it for the first time in a couple of years," Torre said. "This was the first year that you had a real crop of catchers to pick from. Javy Lopez, Jason Varitek, Jorge and Damian Miller -- every one of them was certainly All-Star caliber."
Sheffield is making his eighth All-Star appearance, representing the AL for the first time. Sheffield started for the National League last season, the second time in his career he was elected by the fans (the other was 1993). He will back up starting outfielders Vladimir Guerrero, Manny Ramirez and Ichiro Suzuki.
"It's quite an honor doing it as a Yankee," said Sheffield, who has now made the All-Star team for five different organizations. "It's easy to do it on expansion teams, when you're the only name on the team and they have to pick somebody. To do it on this team, that's an accomplishment."
Rivera has now been selected to six All-Star teams, rejoining the AL squad after his four-year streak was snapped in 2003. Rivera earned the save in his first Midsummer Classic in 1997, and has not allowed a run in three All-Star outings. Although he was chosen for the 2001 team, a foot injury kept him from participating.
"It's a moment where all the stars come together and show their best," Rivera said. "It's an honor to be there. I'll have fun and do the best that I can."
Rivera is one of four closers on the AL team, joining Texas' Francisco Cordero, Minnesota's Joe Nathan and Anaheim's Francisco Rodriguez.
Gordon, who was one of four pitchers added to the team by Torre, is making his second All-Star appearance, his first as a setup man. Gordon, then a closer for the Red Sox, pitched in the 1998 game in Colorado. This season, Gordon has been one of the most dominant setup men in the league, giving the Yankees a solid bridge to Rivera.
"I'm truly blessed and grateful," Gordon said. "In 1998, I got an opportunity to be on the All-Star team, and it went by so quick, I barely remember half the things that took place. This time, I'll really cherish the moments, see what the All-Star experience is. ... Especially the first year coming here to play, being selected as an All-Star, it's tremendous. It's a great thing."
"He was stunned. That was a lot of fun for me," said Torre, who informed Gordon of his selection before Sunday's game. "We wouldn't have had the success that we've had here in the first half without him. I know Mo [Rivera] gets all the attention, but Gordon has made Mo's job a lot easier."
This is the first time since Torre took over the Yankees in 1996 that New York has sent eight players to the All-Star Game. In 2001 and 2002, six Yankees represented the AL, while the team sent five players in 1997, 1998 and 2003.
"Going there with our manager, having a very heavy group of Yankees there," said Rodriguez, "that makes it more special."

NEWPORT BEACH, CA (RNN) - Whether it has been controversial, profitable for schools, meaningful to college football or any other opinions that apply to the BCS, fans at least agree one thing - they could all talk circles around it.
The final championship game under the BCS system is completing that circle. It has brought us back to one of the original teams competing in the first BCS Championship game in 1999 - Florida State.
It has brought us back to Randy Sanders.
Sanders was the offensive coordinator for Tennessee, the team that beat FSU in that national championship 16 years ago.
It was his first game as offensive coordinator of the Volunteers. David Cutcliffe had just left to take the head job at Ole Miss, and Sanders was elevated to the position.
Last year, he was the offensive coordinator for a 2-10 Kentucky team, and now he's the position coach for a Heisman winner and on the staff of an undefeated team.
Yeah, we're really going to miss the BCS.
"If nothing else, I'm the answer to a trivia question, right?" Sanders quipped during Friday's news conference. "It's exciting. When you play in the first one, you can't imagine it would be this long getting back because we had a lot of good things going on at Tennessee at the time. We had a lot of good football teams. I think having been in the first one, not that you take it for granted, but you kind of expect to do it again. And the fact that it's been this number of years between the two, I think not that I've worked any harder or any less for this one, but I've actually taken time to appreciate the fact that I'm here."
Things have come full-circle for wide receivers coach Lawrence Dawsey, as well.
Dawsey played for Northview High School in Dothan, AL, less than three hours south of Auburn. He chose not to play football for the Tigers, instead going two hours south to play receiver for the Seminoles.
Dawsey played in four games against the Tigers, and he claimed victories in three.
It's safe to say a win on Jan. 6 would mean more than the other three combined.
"I'm looking forward to going back to Alabama and saying, 'Hey, we did beat the Auburn Tigers,'" Dawsey said. "My family has been calling me he saying, 'Hey, I don't want to eat crow. They're talking trash back here about the Auburn-Florida State game,' and it reminded me of when I had a chance to play Auburn. So I would say it's a rivalry game."
Since this is football, and nothing is ever a given, it's not proper to say the Seminoles' berth in this game is fitting in the year of the BCS' going-away party.
But it rings with sentimental and highly ironic notes.
The Seminoles were the dynasty of the 1990s and went to, not just the first, but the first three title games.
Their offenses were like Dirty Harry's gun - loaded and high-powered.
Chris Weinke, a Heisman winner, was quarterback of the team in the last two of those games.
This year's defense, though not talked about nearly as much the offense, could be every bit as good as the nasty, bullish units that roamed Tallahassee nearly two decades ago.
But will the result of this BCS Championship be the same as the first for the Seminoles?
"When you've got the opportunity to play in a national championship game and your team is the only team on television, and then this game on my birthday, we're not going out there just to play around," Winston said. "We're not going out there to take anybody for granted. We're going out there to play a great game. We're going out there to do what we came here to do every single game, 13 games. It's not over yet.
"We've got a 14th one, and why not end this year with a victory?"

This summer we were going to venture out on a 25-city, four-week tour of Europe, but we just felt like the whole spending-money-like-a-rap-star thing was really played out.
OK, so the 2012 summer budget really only allowed for sitting in front of the AC eating a pint of ice cream.
Turns out we are in the minority, because AAA travel club reports that the number of Americans traveling has been on a slow and steady increase for the last two years. AAA's travel data from July 4 of this year showed a 4.9 increase from last year for people trekking more than 50 miles from home to celebrate.
"Americans are still in love with their vacations and they are finding ways to finance those vacations despite the slow-growing economy," said Cynthia Brough, director of public relations for AAA's national office. Brough said that travelers these days are looking for value and economy, however they personally define it.
We're sure Fairfield drew in some vacationers, given the town's five beaches (, , , , and ).
Now we know you probably can't top our pint of ice cream experience, but on the off chance you actually traveled outside your kitchen this summer, we'd love to see the photos and live vicariously through them. Maybe you went to the beach, or the mountains, or our personal fave, a cross-country tour of our finest frozen dessert factories.
No matter where you went, inside or outside your Patch, share your photos here so we can get inspired for next year.

Spirit bomb incoming from asf chakra..
As fo sauske, i doubt he will ever be "redeemed" the ninja world is a world of balance, therefore good is balanced out by evil.
Basically naruto is the incarnation of good, his chakra is basically yang, as is the kyuubi's.
Therefore he must be balanced out with evil - sasukes chakra is dark most likely primarilary "ying" chakra.
This makes me think that naruto and sasuke will come together to bring balance, i.e. get rid of juubi / madara, then they will go their seperate ways.
I agree
I don't think those kind of jutsu will do anything against the juubi
I think narutos ultimate jutsu will be so strong as to wound the juubi badly but not kill him

Whatever the new jutsu is, seems like is depended on those guys at the hills waving their fans so it might be a new jutsu but not Naruto's per say.

It isn't a new jutsu, Naruto was just making a comeback statement to emphasize teamwork friends and bond are the strongest things in life....
He was continuing his sentence from the previous page, go back and look and you'll see what I mean //
Please Naruto, don't use talk no jutsu!

what about the powers that he got from the tailed beast?

Manga as well, chp 425 pg 9 :D
this chapter was plot no jutsu 3 i like the begening but the end was lameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I thought for a second there that Obito was being controlled by Madara and Naruto brought out his real emotions, thank goodness it was just Ino So Obito finally realizes that he and Naruto are similar eh? Interesting
Also thought for a second that Sasuke would jump in with the other squads & everyone would be like <.<
@Bold - that would have been hilarious.
*Sasuke Lands*
Sasuke: "Sasuke ... arrived!"
Sasuke: "What?"

Naruto by far.. Can you trust obito and madara? They don't know what new jutsu naruto have created so no! They can't say that this shit is the strongest Jutsu..
OMG I'm so excited right now!!! I'm so happy everyone arrived!!! And I so much loved the jutsu at the end!!!
....no jutsu? Did he mean talk...no jutsu?
Crazy chapter, How bout Obito offering to make Naruto Hokage in his dream world, see, he does care or he wouldn't give a rats a** what happens to Naruto. I don't see Madara extending the same offer. That's the difference between them. I can't believe the K150 finally show up lol
Well everyone except the Kages, Sasuke and Oro isn't there.... let's give them a warm welcoming Naruto.
I don't think Naruto should unleash that right now... cause it's not like it's going to change anything... the real battle has just began
I'm happy everyone's there... it's like a dream come true... I want them all to see Naruto save the shinobi world and not just hear about it.

anybody know where is Yamato? Is he trap inside Juubi?
Yes, finally it becomes interesting!! K11 has arrived with the entire Shinobi alliance!
I was soooooooooo waiting for this.
Now we're going to see real fighting!
And WOW, Ino did Shintenshin on the Juubi?! Dude, that was hella aweeeesome!
I wanna hear someone calling Ino useless again.
As we can see, she is very strong.
Curiously Sakura's medical jutsu area seemed like bigger than before.
And Naruto, Naruto has a new jutsu.
Now I really can't wait for the next chapter.
5/5 this week.
I am just amazed to see naruto pulling up a new justu but as usual he looks confident. So he will manage. As to Obito he seems to be affected from naruto too much so in the end only madara will be a bad ass in the manga.
I Loved How Everyone Comes To Help. Even The Whole Medical Team? Wow, Just Wow.
I have a gut feeling a lot of people are gonna die. Why? The Ten-Tails
Madara is letting the Obito to be killed by the Shinobe Allied.
He is waiting for chance to catch both Bee & Naruto and/or control Juubi.
As for why the Juubi missed, maybe it was done on purpose.
Naruto had linked to all the bijuu inside.........................
Whew, 5/5 I think it was a really great chapter with unexpected help. Seriously I thought they won't show up for like another 5-10 weeks. lol
What I liked:
Kakashi, Kyuubi & Hachibi running out of chakra -> I really like them but come on it would've been lame if they had like unlimited chakra for like ever..
Kyuubi gathering chakra like Naruto in sage-mode -> looked so kewl x)
Obito slowly realizing Naruto is like him and offering to make him Hokage -> I actually want him to turn to the good side.. (anyone else?..) and beat Madara's lying ass up.. >< (lying because I think he has something up his sleeve and is going to betray Obito)
Kiba's "hint" about the relationship from Naruto and Hinata -> PLEASE get together, no one likes Sakura!! xP
Naruto talking about bonds being stronger than some lame Jutsu from Madara
What I didn't like:
Where the hell is Yamato?? Is he dead? Will he come back? -> I want some updates!
I hoped to see some Sasuke and Oro / Kages.. I want to know what they have up their sleeves / if they are going to live, especially Tsunade.. I don't think she will die but show me already!! (they are gone since like what? ..30 chapters? lol)
Madara thinking he's the best and can stay super calm because nothing is going to happen to him.. -> Yes, you're right. I don't like him.
What I didn't get:
What was that Jutsu from Ino + Hyuuga? Did she transfer into Obito or what? And what did the Hyuuga do? Show her who is controlling the Juubi? Confuses me..
I swear i thought sasuke an oro saved naruto but i guess that will hav to wait seriously i would kno how that goddamn jubi bomb was easyly deflected power of plot
my fav part was jubi flick an goddamn jubi is huge need more
Sasuke wtf i was hopeing for one panel or something does anyone think sasuke will meet the So6p sons and i think he might find the spirit weapons that would be crazy well at least yata mirror to block jubi power
naruto new move is the spirit bomb incarnet
Next coming chapters are gonna be interesting X)
I cant wait to see Madara fodderizeing everyone YO

eastern angle. Drawn to the precise forms of Japanese architecture, designer Giorgio Biscaro found a sacred source of inspiration in his recent travels. "In my trip to Japan, I was fascinated by Torii, high portals at shrines where all parts have a specific physical and spiritual meaning," he says. Like a Japanese Torii, the individual elements of this chair relate together as a single holistic structure. Crafted of solid beech wood painted matte white, this design also angles a modern interpretation of a Windsor chair. Learn more about Giorgio Biscaro on our blog.

Roots of history in the UAE go back more than five thousand years, when you would have found people fishing, trading camels and diving for pearls.
The United Arab Emirates consists of Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah and Umm al-Quwain. They're a federation of states located in the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula, next to Saudi Arabia.
The UAE was established in 1971 and rapidly grew in economic status with the help of foreign investment.
UAE is a member of OPEC. Oil was discovered in 1967 in Abu Dhabi, and the Emirates quickly became interested in unification for their common benefit. The U.S. soon overtook Britain as their major business partner, and Abu Dhabi became the largest oil producer in the UAE.
At present, the UAE has one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. Ol, financial services, media and tourism are their major activities.
There are approximately $350 billion of active construction projects, including what will soon be the world's tallest man-made object, the Burj Dubai tower.
Other fun things on the way: a man-made archipelago of islands called The World, DubaiLand (bigger than Disneyland) and the world's largest shopping mall, which will also be in Dubai.
Apparently somebody in Dubai knows how to throw a good party.
The UAE is full of things to do if you can handle the scale they do them on. Football, Tennis, falconry; Formula F1 racing, camel racing (with robotic jockeys) and even skiing!

Comments On Nov 03, 2013:Purchased for a '07 Sportsman 90 (front brakes). Pads fit like a charm until I went to put the drums back on. These have a little thicker pad on them compared to OEM, which caused the drum not to go back on. Seeing Polaris brand is double the price - I broke out the grinder to the shoe. After trimming the flats down where they meet the actuator - drum went on without a problem. Other than having to modify the pads to fit, the brakes do what they are made to do.

Cheap ski holidays in hundreds of ski resorts worldwide.
Nb: infants must be under the age of 2 and
children must be under the age of 12 at the time of
This excellent chalet is located in the new "Le Hameau" area of Verbier. This exciting development has been carefully designed to be a harmonious part of Verbier, utilising traditional old buildings as well as the modern, built in the time-honoured Swiss style.
The chalet has a spacious lounge and dining room with large floor to ceiling windows over-looking the central courtyard of Le Hameau with fabulous views to the Mont Blanc Massif beyond.
Stylish use of light pine panelling and pastel colours give this chalet a very restful ambience.
Ski access from the Hameau is easy; for beginners the nursery slopes are a short walk or for competent skiers the Savoleyres Gondola is a few minutes further on the free ski bus which stops right outside. Skiing back at the end of the day is easy as you can leave the Rouge run midway and walk the final few minutes home.
There is also a steam room in which to relax, ideal after a challenging day on the slopes.

Entrance, lift
First Floor:
Chalet entrance, kitchen, lounge/ dining area with balcony, steam roomRoom 1 - Twin with bath/wcRoom 2 - Twin with corner bath/wcRoom 3 -Twin bunks with shower/wc (discount per person)Suite 4 - Twin/triple/quad (twin bedroom with bath/wc) and lounge with two single sofa beds with shower/wcNote: The baths in rooms 1 and 2 are open to the bedroom but the wcs are enclosed.
For six days of the week the staff prepares all your meals.
Breakfast: We pride ourselves on giving you a great breakfast to start your day, with a choice of cereals, fresh fruit and juices, yoghurts, plentiful English tea and good filter coffee, bread freshly baked in our chalets each morning, cold meats, cheeses and preserves, and boiled eggs. This is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. And to cap it all, we also cook a hot dish of the day for you six days per week, such as sausage and bacon or pancakes with fresh fruit, individually served.
On the chalet hosts' day off, they will prepare a Continental style breakfast for you, which will be left for you to help yourselves, and that evening you have the chance to eat out in one of the local cafés or restaurants – our resort team will be happy to provide some suggestions. In our Chalet Hotels, a full buffet breakfast (including hot option) is also served on the staff's day off.
Afternoon Tea: The traditional 'welcome home' after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you in your chalet or Chalet Hotel, ready for your return, every day except on the staff's one day off per week. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of freshly home-baked cake and keeps hungry skiers happy until dinner is ready. Children's High Tea: In Chalets and Chalet Hotels with family guests, High Tea provides children under 13 years with a healthy menu, tailored more towards children's tastes and puréed food is available for infants on request. High Tea is at 5.30pm, and children do not join the main adult-only dinner. Families staying in one of our Chalet Hotels may choose to eat separately (High Tea at 5:30pm) or all dine together at the later adult dinner time if children who have received a child discount pay the meal upgrade charge at the time of booking only.
Dinner: A tasty and innovative, freshly cooked dinner will be prepared for you six nights per week by your Chalet Host - or by an experienced and professional chef in our larger chalets - and served with a choice of wines. Our 4-course adult-only chalet dinners start with canapés and an apéritif, followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert, and completed by coffee with chocolates to round off your evening. Your choice of complimentary quality wines is unlimited during the meal service, and freshly chilled water is also of course always available.A special feature of our Chalet Hotels is a more extensive culinary experience for our guests. With the greater kitchen facilities of a hotel, our professional chefs are able to offer choices of menu at dinner, generally including lighter as well as more hearty options, and always a vegetarian choice for each course. Guests will be asked to choose their evening meals at breakfast for that evening from a varied daily selection. Vegetarian options are always on our 'Culinary Choice' menu in our Chalet Hotels, and are available in our chalets if you advise us in advance.

ST. PETERSBURG -- A week after Matt Garza pitched the first no-hitter in Rays history, the right-hander was named a co-winner of the Bank of America Presents the American League Player of the Week for the period ending Aug. 1.
Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista, who built up his Major League-leading total to 32 home runs, shared the honor.
On July 26, Garza threw the fifth no-hitter of the season by shutting down the Tigers at Tropicana Field. The MVP of the 2008 AL Championship Series faced the minimum 27 batters in his gem, which came in Tampa Bay's 2,039th game since the franchise's inception, in 1998.
Eighty of Garza's 120 pitches went for strikes, and he fanned six batters against a lone second-inning walk, which was followed by a double play. On Saturday the California native, who is 11-5 with a 4.11 ERA on the year, matched a season high with nine strikeouts in a no-decision against the Yankees, a duel between the top two clubs in the Majors.
Bautista (.545, five home runs, 13 RBIs, 1.364 SLG last week) continued his breakout season by starting last week with an 8-for-12 series against the Orioles with six runs scored, three home runs and eight RBIs. The 2010 All-Star led all of baseball with 11 home runs in July, making him the first Jay to lead the Majors in homers in at least two different months (he also had 12 in May) of a calendar season.

1 Santa Fe Baking Co.
504 W. Cordova Road
In what can be considered a bit of an upset in a competitive category, the Baking Co. takes first place with its killer burrito and charming ambiance.
Its open, airy layout is perfect for people watching; the cheap coffee and free Wi-Fi keep the place busy even at off hours. (We hate to mention the parking, but come on, it's true. How nice is it to be able to park right out front when you're starving and in a rush?) We love it that the Baking Co. offers so many options for burrito fillings: sausage, turkey sausage, chorizo AND veggie sausage?
All four, please! And hey, these aren't tiny burritos. The regular burrito is big enough for a horse; the Burrito Grande, with its side of black beans, well, let's just say it'll keep you going until you finish going through your emails and need to head back up to the counter to order lunch.

(RNN) - The program director for Cleveland 92.3 The Fan said his station did not report that the Cleveland Browns are actively pursuing Alabama coach Nick Saban
The rumors started when two of his hosts were discussing the possibility of a new coach at Cleveland, where Pat Shurmur has a 5-17 record in his second season, said Andy Roth.
"It was a Saturday morning talk show, and two of our hosts were discussing that if the Browns couldn't attract an NFL coach, would they pursue a college coach like Nick Saban," said Andy Roth.
Rumors that the Browns' new owner Jimmy Haslam had targeted Saban for the job erupted on the internet.
Haslam had earlier announced Philadelphia Eagles president Joe Banner would replace Mike Holmgren as the team's president, which led to speculation about Shurmur's future.

I try to port my existing project (developed based on S60 3rd FP2 ) to the latest Symbian Belle FP1. Then I find some functions are not working in Symbian Belle. Not sure if Nokia has block these for security reason or why, e.g. AT command doesn't work at all. I tried to search in this forum but I don't find any useful information.
One of my biggest issue now is that APS (audio proxy server) doesn't work on Symbian Belle anymore. I can install the APS example program on Nokia 700, it seems working, no crash no error, but it just cannot play audio uplink into a ongoing call !! If there is no error... how am I suppose to debug? It feels Nokia has blocked this function from the lower layer, but I am not sure.
Is there absolutely no solution in Symbian Belle to achieve playing audio uplink to a ongoing call???

Chad Tracy (Diamondbacks), INF -- U.S.
Hey Chad, got a question for you. I'm an ECU baseball fan. Where do you like playing more, Tucson or Greenville? -- Alex
It's a totally different atmosphere. In Greenville, your fellow students come out and watch and cheer you on, which is fun. It's a different setting. You're getting paid to do it now, it's a little more serious, a little more pressure. I would have to say they're equally as fun. It's still baseball.
Josh Barfield (Padres), INF -- U.S.
You are a very young and talented player, do you owe your success to hard work or were you just blessed? -- Jesse Fischer, Port Hadlock, WA
Definitely hard work. Everybody in the minor leagues is talented and it's the guys that work hard that succeed the most.
Khalil Greene (Padres), INF -- U.S.
What is it like to go to Chicago and participate in this "All-Star Game" and miss out on some games for your Triple-A team?
It's all right. They'll do fine without me. It's good to get away and get a break. It's an honor to be involved in all of this.
Kevin Youkilis (Red Sox), INF -- U.S.
How do you feel about being given the nickname "The Greek God of Walks?"
I guess it's definitely not a bad gesture. It's good to have patience. Walking's not bad, I guess. It's something you've got to do. It's a little much, though.
Grady Sizemore (Indians), OF -- U.S.
What Major League pitcher are you hoping to face when you get up to the Major League level? -- Matt, Ohio
I guess if I had to face a left-hander, it would be Randy Johnson. He's the most dominant left-handed pitcher there is and I want to see how I matchup with him.
Pete LaForest (Devil Rays), INF -- WORLD
How frustrating was it missing Devil Rays Spring Training because of visa problems? What did you do while stuck in Ontario? -- Josh
It was really frustrating because obviously I had the chance to show myself to a whole new staff. Being stuck in Canada, in six feet of snow, minus 20 every day. I was in the cage, hitting every day and trying to stay in shape. Did some catching drills, tried to do as much as I could.
Rich Harden (Athletics), RHP -- WORLD
How does it feel to be called one of the A's top pitching prospects when you can see what their system has produced over the years? -- Adam
It's pretty exciting to be up there with some of the guys like (Barry) Zito, (Tim) Hudson, and (Mark) Mulder, who were all top prospects back in the day and you look where they are now. Also, it brings a little more media attention, which kind of overwhelms you at first.
What do you like to do before a game to relax or to get pumped up for a game? Good luck in the Futures Game and I hope to see you up in Oakland pretty soon! -- Dana P.
Before a game, I usually throw in a movie, early afternoon, relax, grab a good lunch and then show up at the field a little early, throw on some Dave Matthews to relax me and pretty much almost fall asleep. Then I put on a little harder music to come up after that, maybe some Lincoln Park.
Edgar Gonzalez (Diamondbacks), RHP -- WORLD
What did you learn from the two games you started for the Arizona Diamondbacks in early June? Are you working on improving any areas of your game? -- Josh
I pitched in the big leagues for only two starts and I knew that it would be that many games going in. I focused on going out there for one game or two games. Things went well, I pitched good. The organization said I did a good job. They gave me an opportunity. The next chance for me is so-so.
Alexis Gomez (Royals), OF -- WORLD
You were a volleyball star in the Dominican. Do any of the skills from volleyball transfer to baseball?
Not really anything, except maybe catching the ball in the outfield on the warning track. I started playing baseball because my friend said, 'You don't make any money in volleyball, you better play baseball if you want to make money.' I like baseball better. It's harder. With volleyball, though, it's like a little field out there with six guys on it. So it's hard too.
John Van Benschoten (Pirates), RHP -- U.S.
Congratulations on your selection to the Futures Game! I was just wondering what adjustments have you had to make since being promoted to Double-A? Best of luck to you this year and beyond. -- Mark Honigmann
I haven't made any adjustments. When you get promoted they think you belong in that league. I didn't change my game plan at all. Stick with your game plan. That's what got me there.
Guillermo Quiroz (Blue Jays), C -- WORLD
You were on the 1994 World Champion Little League team from Venezuela. Do you feel that experience has helped you playing for the New Haven Ravens?
I enjoy playing there. The fans treat us real good and it's a nice city. The GM is really trying to do a good job with us. But it's the last year of the team being in New Haven -- the team is moving to New Hampshire next year.
Chris Burke (Astros), INF -- U.S.
Hi Chris. I met you in Wichita during the Double-A All-Star Game. Who is the toughest pitcher you've faced to date? I love hearing player's perspectives on other players.
Congratulations and good luck today! Represent the Texas League! See ya in Wichita. -- Billy
I would say Rich Hardin, Clint Nageotte or Rhett Johnson. All three are pretty tough. They all throw over 93-94 mph with movement and great breaking pitches.
Alexis Rios (Blue Jays), OF -- WORLD
I live in New York and have seen you play at New Haven, and let me start off by saying that you are a great player. How do you like to keep in touch with the fans? -- Adam
I like to stay in touch because we are playing for them. I sign autographs because they support us. They always talk to you, they keep looking up your stats, they're like family kind of.
Neal Cotts (White Sox), LHP -- U.S.
Hey, Neal. Fellow left-hander here. I live in Chicago and I was wondering how it felt to start the game in a ballpark that you will be playing in the next few years? You are a great pitcher and I can't till you are in Chicago. -- Mark L.
It was pretty exciting. But I was also pretty nervous. To be in a big-league ballpark for the first time, it was a little strange, but hopefully it won't be long before I pitch here again.
J.J. Hardy (Brewers), INF -- U.S.
Hi, J.J. How are Dave Krynzel's sideburns coming in?
-Adam M., Milwaukee
Last year in high A ball, beginning of the year, I was looking at guys having sideburns. So I decided to grow sideburns, a bunch of guys helped me out. So I had a bet with Dave to see who could grow better sideburns. I won the bet, he gave me a $5 bill and posted it up on my locker to rub it in. We made a second bet that he would not cut his hair. He didn't cut his hair for a really long time, 5-6 months. He's got really long curly hair now.
Joe Mauer (Twins), C -- U.S.
Joe, how long do you think it will be before you get the Major League call? People are saying it is a mistake that the Twins didn't take Prior. How do you
handle that?
Soon, I hope. I'm having fun,and I'm progressing. He's doing pretty good for himself, too. I'm happy for him. I hope I continue to climb up the ladder and get to the big leagues.
Travis Blackley (Mariners), LHP -- WORLD
Hey Travis, I met you in Wichita during the Double-A All-Star Game. Who is the toughest hitter you've faced to date? --Billy
Scott Wearne. He's an Australian kid, who I think just got picked up by the Pirates. Here, I would say it's Steve Stanley from the Midland Rock Hounds.
Being from Australia, how did you get into baseball? How popular is it there? How is pitching to Australian teams different from pitching to teams in the U.S.? -- Josh
I got into it on a "Bring a friend" day. My brother took me and I started a year after him when I was 12. The biggest difference is they use metal bats in Australia. It's still a step below here a fair bit. There, baseball isn't even in the top 10 sports. Mostly, it's rugby, cricket, futbol, surfing.
Justin Huber (Mets), C -- WORLD
Is it easy to find MLB games on TV in Australia?
Is it surprising to find yourself with fellow Australian Travis Blackley at the Futures Game? Do you hope that one day you can catch for Travis on a Major League team?
It's hard to see games on TV, unless you have cable and probably 80 percent of the people do not have cable.

He will make his first appearance in the Midsummer Classic on July 13 in Houston's Minute Maid Park.
While Lilly was the only Jays player named to the team, he will have some company. Blue Jays manager Carlos Tosca will be one of the coaches on manager Joe Torre's staff.
"I think it's great," Tosca said. "I thought we had three pitching candidates in Lilly, (Miguel) Batista, and 'Doc' (Roy Halladay). I'm glad one of those guys got taken."
After a slow start to the season, Lilly put together an 11-start streak in which he allowed more than two earned runs just twice. Slotted in the rotation after Halladay and Batista, Lilly brings stability to the staff. He made his 17th start of the season on Sunday.
"I know that I'm definitely fortunate to have this experience," Lilly said. "I had some idea it was a possibility, but I thought there were a couple of other guys who were doing better than I was, statistically."
Prior to Sunday's loss to the Expos in Puerto Rico, Lilly (7-5, 4.01 ERA) had won five consecutive games on the road. He also had won five of his last seven starts and seven of his last nine decisions.
Earlier this season, Lilly won five straight games (April 26-June 8), the longest streak by a Blue Jays pitcher this season and one short of his career high.
"I thought I had a chance, but, if anything, I thought Miguel or 'Doc' had a better chance," Lilly said. "So that's one of the reasons I'm so excited -- because it's a little unexpected and a pleasant surprise."
Acquired from Oakland before the season, Lilly's individual efforts have also paid off for the team. The Blue Jays are 9-8 in his 17 starts, and Lilly has worked six-plus innings in six of his last eight starts.
Last season, he established career highs in wins (12), games started (31), innings pitched (178 1/3) and strikeouts (147). He also won a career-high six consecutive decisions while with the A's.
On Sunday, Lilly allowed three runs -- two earned -- in five innings against Montreal. He walked two batters and struck out seven.
"Right now, it's hard to appreciate it as much as I should," Lilly said. "We just lost a game and I'm thinking of things I might have done differently."
Toronto had three All-Stars in 2003, the most the franchise has had since the 2000 season. The Jays haven't had more than three All-Stars since 1994, when they had four. In 1993, the Blue Jays set a franchise record with seven players in the game.
"Choosing Lilly, that was fun for me," Torre said. "Halladay has been there, and he just came off the DL. He's pitching lights-out now, but when I have that choice, I like to favor the guy that hasn't been there."
