i just wanted to know why the backround music is necessary and how do you put up a video
sigh, i'll just take my time with it. Its better to not rush it, i've been rping for almost a year now x _ x and i know from experience that is not good to rush, so for this RPC i have i'll just take my time with it till i have accumulated enough post, other then that i'll just hang around in parks/random houses and the beach.

Thnx for the info
I'm just starting nb rping. I'm making a bio and wanted to know how many elements can we start out with and how/when can we learn new ones.
For that background/theme music,is that needed?
Can you add extra things??
Does my rank decide how many elements I can put in my bio?
Why dont you close the other thread with the same information only worse?
Im currently making a Bio. Can I already know any ninjutsu? Or do i only know some basic ninjutsu that you dont need to write? If im starting as a Genin should i wright any ninjutsus at all? And can i posses an element or do i have to learn everything from training?
tried it....mahn nice template
Might I remind everyone of the fact that the template posted in this thread is the official template and your first priority is following it and not to make your bio appealing? As by now a lot of people just take it for granted that they can mess around the template as they see fit just so that it matches their coding. Till now I was always the one who edited it for them or let it slide when it was very minor. However recently most people started making more and more complex codings for their bio's and started to consider the basic template as something they could freely mess around with and new members just started copying them.
Henceforth I will decline bio's if they do not follow the template correctly, no matter how insignificant the problem might be and I will keep doing this until people realize again that the fundamental priority is following the template and that any kind of fancy coding is optional and that you take full responsibility for whatever problems that might cause. The only ones I give some slack are the people who made their first bio's, but anyone else who already made bio's should be aware of what the template looks like.
A few days ago I saw someone who just decided to remove their Village Info and only just said Village of Birth under Basic Information. Currently there is a coding going around that has been used in around 6 to 12 bio's and not a single one of all the persons noticed that there is a freaking huge coding error right in the middle of it and I was the one who had to edit it out and because the coding has become so complex, one tiny mistake of my part and the entire bio might look like hell. Originally when I had to edit stuff it was like playing like a child that is trying to get building blocks in the right hole, square in square, triangle in triangle. Now it feels like I'm doing surgery, making my job even harder and exhausting then it already was. A lot of people also stop counting their battles and then just minimize the Battles part of often even remove it =/
I don't care that you place smilies or N/A or whatever in the won/lost part or that you say "see bio" in the pictures part or that you don't actually post a Theme Song or that you even say in the looks part "see bio" or "see pictures"; however I'm sick of it that people's main concern is their coding and not the template.
So hereby you are warned as I'm going to decline bio's that don't follow it correctly, no matter how stupid the reason might appear to you as I'm responsible for all bio's and this is an issue that's occurring in a lot of them.

- Rory McIlroy quits Honda Classic after dropping seven shots in eight holes
Rory McIlroy's troubled start to the year took another bad turn on Friday when he withdrew from the Honda Classic in Florida without finishing nine holes of his second round. Starting on the back nine, the defending champion and world No1 was seven over for eight holes at Palm Beach Gardens. He hit his second shot into the water on the par-five 18th and was done for the week. He told reporters as he walked to the parking lot that he was not in a good place mentally, before later citing toothache for his withdrawal. In a statement on the PGA Tour's website,
- England suffer warm-up setback after defeat to New Zealand XI
England lost their only first-class warm-up match before the three-Test series starts next week. Having declared at their overnight 256 for nine, they left the New Zealand XI 90 overs in which to chase 334 to win. It was a stiff task in the fourth innings of a match but the pitch was good, some of the bowling indifferent, some batting uplifting and the result was that the match was won, by three wickets, with eight deliveries in hand. The win was founded on a fine undefeated 89 from BJ Watling, the wicketkeeper, which with his unbeaten 66 from the first innings

The Mercedes driver set a lap of one minute 20.558 seconds - the fastest time of the winter so far and 0.708 seconds clear of Ferrari's Felipe Massa in second. Force India's Adrian Sutil was third, ahead of Pastor Maldonado's Williams. Hamilton's pace prompted BBC F1 technical analyst Gary Anderson to predict he could win the 2013 title. "It is important to bring everyone back down to earth and realise we still have a lot of work to do" Lewis Hamilton "Some of the lap times we've seen already from Mercedes have been pretty good but that one is pretty impressive," Anderson said.

Real Madrid attacker Kaka believes Cristiano Ronaldo is the most complete player in football today. The Portuguese was once again at his best in midweek in his side's 3-1 win over Barcelona in the Copa del Rey, scoring two goals on the night to make it 38 goals in 38 games all season. And in light of his impressive displays, Kaka has lavished his teammate with praise and does not believe there is any one like him playing in the world today. "Cristiano is the most complete player we have in football today," Kaka told the press. "The strength he has, he has the

Arsenal striker Lukas Podolski has described the north London derby versus Tottenham as "something special" ahead of the clubs' eagerly anticipated clash at White Hart Lane. The 27-year-old has been in impressive form since his summer move to Arsenal from FC Koln and netted during the 5-2 win against its rival in November. Polish-born German international Podolski rates rival Tottenham very highly, and it goes into the game just four points ahead of Arsenal. "They are a very good team, very strong and they are third in the Premier League," Podolski told the club's official website. "I like derbies, it will be a tough

I've been using Kelp noodles for a while since I've turned to a raw food diet. I make raw Pad Thai and Pesto mainly and I'm happy with this product. I couldn't have it too often though because I used to pay up to AUD$10.50 per pack in Australia! Thanks iHerb for the great price. Tip: you need to wash and rinse them when you get them out of the pack. Then soak them in water with lemon juice and some tamari/nama shoyu or Braggs liquid aminos for approx 3 hours to soften them, or else they are too crunchy and nothing like a noodle. You can then rinse them if you like, to get rid of those flavours if they don't go with your dish. The people who don't like them just don't know how to prepare them, because they taste exactly like any other noodles when prepared as above. They should really have instructions on the packet!

I really like these noodles, but there are two things to note: They are made from kelp, which is great for most of us. However, those with hyPERthyroidism and those with Hashimoto's may notice side effects if you eat the whole package at once (like I do). The other thing to note is that letting these cook for a few minutes or sit in your sauce for 20 minutes or more will soften them; before doing so, they're on the crunchy side.

Love them! Others have suggested soaking them in lemon juice to soften but I think that makes them taste like a bowl of lemons as they have no flavor on their own. I recommend simmering them in water with some herbs for about 15 minutes while preparing the rest of the recipe. I will definitely continue to order Kelp Noodles!

These are delicious, heard some complaints about the crunchiness, but I soaked in water with cider vinegar for 30 minutes and this gave them a great texture, I love these noodles.

My husband is using for weight loss due to low calories in large serving. They are a nice change from wheat noodles, soak with a little lemon juice/water to soften prior to eating.

Is al-Qaeda terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki recruiting leaders of CAIR?
CAIR's Fort Hood Idol
January 22, 2010 by Joe Kaufman 19 Comments
Joe Kaufman is an expert in the fields of counter-terrorism, foreign affairs and energy independence for America. He has been featured on all major cable networks, including Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC and C-SPAN. Kaufman has served as a consultant to different government agencies, and he has been instrumental in getting U.S.-based terrorist charities shut down and terror-related individuals put behind bars. Exactly one month prior to the September 11 attacks, Kaufman predicted the attacks by stating that the 1993 World Trade Center bombing was not an aberration and that it would happen again.

No-one can send the fashion pack into a tailspin better than Mr. Jacobs.
Will his show start on time? Or god forbid, early? Will Lady Gaga have to stand at the back to watch the show again? Will Rachel Zoe make it this season?
To such profound questions we may never know the answer.
What we DO know is that the designer caught everyone off guard by changing the scheduled times of BOTH his shows this NYFW, naturally sending gasps of horror and panic through the industry.
Most of the International editors had flights to London scheduled out of JFK at the new 'curtain up' time for the main collection; and of course had only booked their hotels for a Thursday a.m. check out! Oh the outrageous, disastrous, inconvenience of it all. But the show must go on - and so it did - with no less of a furore, and certainly worth the extra few days of feverish anticipation.
In what was probably one of Jacobs' most paired down collections of late, the models wandered trance like around the enormous circular stage not once , but twice - almost as if making up for the unfortunate scheduling issue and ensuring the editors who HAD changed their plans, got their money's worth.
But there was more to this repetitiveness than a mere bigger bang for our buck. It was clear that Jacobs wanted us to see the collection twice - firstly in a twilight state, and then again, in the cold harsh light of day.
The models, who resembled debauched 60's debutantes, appeared to be doing some 'walk of shame' through the lamp lit streets of some great metropolis just before sunrise - only to find themselves still far from home way after the sun had hit midday.
Some literally half naked, others clutching fur coats closed as if fearing the exposure of their nakedness underneath, the models seemed both fragile and lost, yet determined and resolute, as they circumnavigated the runway under the gaze of an enormous solar disk which was both menacing and comforting in equal measure.
So great a spectacle was the show, that the clothes almost became secondary. Which was possibly the point. In all their excruciating banality, these garments were intended to be a purely incidental part of the landscape of your life, not to become the be all and end all of your existence.
By Andrew Holden in New York

Karen du Toit's insight:
Worthy to bookmark, not only for American school librarians
Libraries are experimenting with some exciting ways to inspire and engage the community by creating meeting and maker spaces with old technology and new
a report just released by the Aspen Institute Dialogue on Public Libraries asks us again to reconsider how the library can serve communities in the 21st century. "Rising to the Challenge: Re-Envisioning Public Libraries" aims to "capture the momentum and excitement of the innovations taking place in public libraries across the country, and the impact these are having on communities," said the group's director, Amy Garmer. The report asks: With all the new technology and layered networks, what can be done beyond current advancements?
"We are a place for the curious, for creativity, a place for learning, a place to experiment. It's always been the mission of the library. We're just using different tools."
The Dialogue on Public Libraries group is supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's Global Libraries Program and is made up of 34 library field leaders, business executives, government officials, education experts and community development visionaries. The group aims for more than just holding up great examples of libraries working well in the digital age.
"We want to provide a catalyst for new thinking about libraries as platforms for learning, creativity and innovation in their communities, and the creation of new networked forms of libraries," Garmer said. If the report could spark engagement at the local, state and national levels to rethink how to use libraries and then constructively act on it, Garmer said, then the group's goal will have been achieved."

Public libraries play a central role in providing access to data and ensuring the freedom of digital knowledge
Data connectivity is intrinsic to most of our daily lives. The place which exists in almost every community large or small, rural or urban, is the public library.
Karen du Toit's insight:
Data connectivity and the public library = synonymous!
Doug Mirams's curator insight, October 23, 9:48 AM
Karen du Toit's insight:Data connectivity and the public library = synonymous!
By Peter C. Herman"For the past few years, both the California State University and the University of California libraries have been experimenting with packages that replace paper books with e-books. The advantages are obvious. With e-books, you no longer have to schlep to a library to take out a book. You just log on from whatever device connects you to the web, at whatever time and in whatever state of dress, and voila! the book appears on your screen.
But the real attraction is price. Library budgets, along with university budgets, have been slashed, and such companies as Pearson and Elsevier offer e-book packages that make it possible to gain access (I'll explain the awkward syntax in a moment) to lots of books at what seems like a minimal cost. The savings are multiplied when the package serves the entire system. So instead of each campus buying a paper book, all 23 CSU's, for instance, share a single e-book. That's the theory, at least. The reality is very different."
"Instead, a library pays to access a data file by one of two routes: "PDA," or "Patron-Driven Acquisition," in which a vendor makes available a variety of e-books, and a certain number of "uses" (the definition varies) triggers a purchase, or a subscription to an e-library that does not involve any mechanism for buying the e-book. Both avenues come loaded with all sorts of problems.
First, reading an e-book is a different, and lesser, experience that reading a paper book, just aswatching a movie at home differs from watching one in a theatre.
There's a huge difference between casual and college reading, and recent studies prove beyond doubt that while e-books are perfectly fine for the latest John Grisham or Fifty Shades of Grey, they actively discourage intense reading and deep learning."
Karen du Toit's insight:
The impact of e-books on libraries and learning. Not good!

"WESTPORT, Conn.—They have blinking eyes and an unnerving way of looking quizzically in the direction of whoever is speaking. They walk, dance and can talk in 19 different languages. About the height of a toddler, they look like bigger, better-dressed cousins of Buzz Lightyear.
And soon, "Vincent" and "Nancy" will be buzzing around the Westport Library, where officials next week will announce the recent acquisition of the pair of humanoid "NAO Evolution" robots. Their primary purpose: to teach the kind of coding and computer-programming skills required to animate such machines.
While it isn't unusual for public libraries to offer instruction in programming or robotics, Westport is the first in the nation to do it with sophisticated humanoid bots made by the French robotics firm Aldebaran. In a brief demonstration last week, Alex Giannini, the library's digital-experience manager, had Vincent kicking a small soccer ball, doing tai chi and taking bows."

Very cool!

"... there is a definite archetype that has been established within our culture when it comes to what a librarian is "supposed" to look/act like, and that figure has permeated the representation of this field for more years than I care to count ... Whether it be film and television, or more modern media outlets like video games and the internet, you can find the librarians' profession portrayed (even ridiculed) with the same basic broad strokes. So, not to put too fine a point on it, but that's where this blog comes in ... THE PLAN Ever since I myself (full disclosure!) began pursuing a Master's Degree in order to join the ranks of the full-fledged librarian, I've become fascinated with the portrayal of this profession in popular culture, particularly those depictions which have made their way onto Youtube ... As such, I decided long ago to begin cataloging as many instances of these representations as I could find on the popular video-sharing site. A daunting task, to be sure, but I gladly accept the challenge ... And, truth be told, there are a LOT more portrayals of librarianship on there than I ever could have imagined! Of course, there's plenty of the familiar (i.e. unflattering) stereotypes on there, but dig deep enough and you can actually find some honest-to-goodness attempts to portray the profession in a positive light (some posted by librarians themselves, some not); you just need to take the time to look ... or follow this blog, either one ;) These portrayals can consist of fictitious characters (television, cartoons, movies, etc.) or real-life flesh-and-blood librarians (news stories, promotional videos, vlogs, etc.) ... Whatever the genre, whatever the format, I'm just looking for YouTube videos that someone out there felt was worth the time and effort to post for a world-wide audience as a representation of the profession (either in a positive or negative light)!"

A stunning collection of portrayals of librarians found on YouTube!

Sharing the knowledge: taking notes on open data from records managers and archivists - Archives Records 2014 Conf
by Alisha Green
"More than 2,300 records managers and archivists from around the world gathered in Washington, DC, last week to talk about public records and managing the massive amount of new information being created by technology. Discussions at the conference made it clear that the open data community can benefit from connecting with and learning from people in the records management and archival communities. We share many of the same challenges and goals with determining how governments can best share information and preserve access to it.
Last week's conference, Archives*Records 2014: Ensuring Access, was a joint meeting of the Council of State Archivists, Society of American Archivists, and National Association of Government Archives & Records Administrators. Topics discussed ranged from copyright law to appraising records for determining what to keep permanently, but some of the conversations most relevant to those interested in open data centered around electronic records and metadata."
Karen du Toit's insight:
Taking this from the notes as well: "There is much to be learned from starting a dialogue between the open data, records management and archival communities. Both open data and the records management communities face similar challenges. We are increasingly sharing our knowledge and resources online, and now it's time to align ourselves as groups with key roles to play in the goal of ensuring access to and preservation of records."
IFLA to build libraries' capacity to positively influence digital information policy through new International Advocacy grant | World Library and Information Congress #wlic2014
"New grant will help build capacity within the profession to advocate for positive policy change to support public access to digital information in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Global Libraries Initiative.
LYON, – 19 August 2014
World Library and Information Congress in Lyon – The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) today announced a new grant for international advocacy activities in support of access to digital information. The investment will develop libraries' ability to react to emerging issues in the digital environment, increase awareness within the public library community of the link between this emerging environment and their work, and create capacity to undertake advocacy activities in support of policy change.
Public access to ICTs, copyright and licensing or eBooks and eLending are just some of the issues being tackled by policymakers at national, regional and international levels, often without satisfactory results for libraries and their users. As a result, libraries can often find themselves having to work in policy environments that are not sensitive to their issues and services to the public in the digital information environment are degraded."

WLIC 2014 Conference on now! Many important announcements and happenings in the library world.
SAA Sampler: Archival Advocacy (PDF)
Compiled with an introduction by Cheryl Oestreicher
This is the second installment in the SAA SAMPLER SERIES, which features select chapters from authoritative books on archives published by the Society of American Archivists. Produced exclusively electronically, the Samplers are designed to give readers an overview of a pertinent topic as well as a taste of the full publications.
This Sampler offers examples of the ways in which you can build advocacy efforts, discussing some of the techniques and tools developed by archivists. The content includes:
"Advocating Within the Institution: Twenty-five Years for the New York Philharmonic Archives" by Barbara Haws, from Many Happy Returns: Advocacy and the Development of Archives edited by Larry Hackman;
"Media Outlets" by Stephanie Gaub, from Public Relations and Marketing for Archives: A How-To-Do-It Manual edited by Peter J. Wosh et al.; and
"Archives 101 in a 2.0 World: The Continuing Need for Parallel Systems" by Randall C. Jimerson, from A Different Kind of Web: New Connections Between Archives and Our Users edited by Kate Theimer.
Archivists must continually explain who they are, what they do, and why archives are important to society. The selected chapters offer different approaches and techniques from three books which align with the core goal of advocating for archives.
Karen du Toit's insight:
Archival advocacy. Unfortunately not free!
"Opensource.com moderator Nicole Engard attended a talk by Phil Shapiro at the 2014 All Things Open conference in Raleigh, NC in which Phil laid out his vision for how libraries need to adapt to the changes ..."
"Phil Shapiro, one of my fellow Opensource.com Community Moderators, gave a talk at All Things Open 2014 about open source and libraries. This is a recap of that talk.
Too many people ask, "What is the future of libraries?" and not, "What should the future be?" A book that we must read is: Expect More: Demanding Better Libraries For Today's Complex World. If we don't expect more of libraries, we're not going to see libraries change. We have to change the frame of mind that libraries belong the directors—they actually belong to the people and they should be serving the people.
Phil asks how we get some communities to participate in managing libraries. Start looking at your library's collection and see if there is at least 1% of the collection in the STEM arena. Should that percent be more? Maybe 5% or 10% more? There is no set answer here, but maybe we need to make a suggestion to our libraries. Maybe instead of just books our funds should go to empower the community more in the technology arena. Maybe we should have co-working space in our library—this can be fee based even—and could be something as low as $30.00/month. That would be a way for libraries to help the unemployed and the community as a whole."

Dayton library seeks to change perception with new programming - Olivia Barrow, Dayton Business Journal
Dayton library seeks to change perception with new programming
"The Dayton Metro Library is debuting a new type of programming as it seeks to update its image as part of its $187 million system-wide renovation.
The library is hosting a free after-work networking event called "ShakesBeer: A Downtown Mix and Mingle" on Thursday, Oct. 9 at 4:30 p.m.
The library is partnering with The Human Race Theatre Company and Warped Wing Brewing Company to offer a modernized, 40-minute version of Shakespeare's Othello, with a craft beer networking session at Warped Wing afterward.
As the library is in the midst of planning its $64 million update to the main facility on Third Street, some residents have expressed concern that building a new library doesn't make sense since physical books are becoming less important in a digital-based society."
Karen du Toit's insight:
Libraries adapting to the future
When you think of a library, most people think of a quiet place to study. If you want to get work done and spread out, you go to a coffee shop. Newer libraries offer the same amenities as coffee shops, and sometimes even more.

Movement 1: Grave Allegro ma non troppo
Movement 2: Andante cantabile
Movement 3: Rondo: Allegro ma non troppo
The example of Mozart's masterly Quintet for piano and wind, K452, clearly lies behind Beethoven's own Quintet for the same combination (piano, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and horn), probably completed during his triumphant visit to Berlin in the summer of 1796 (though it may have been begun as early as 1794) and premiered at a concert at Ignaz Jahn's restaurant in Vienna on 6 April 1797. To maximize sales, Beethoven quickly arranged it, with minimal reworking, as a piano quartet (the keyboard part is unaltered, though the strings sometimes play where the wind were silent). Both versions were published together as Op 16 in 1801.
While this genial, urbane music owes a debt to Mozart in general and his piano and wind quintet in particular, Beethoven's voice and methods remain his own. Mozart had subtly interwoven the piano and the wind quartet. Beethoven, working on a more expansive scale, sets them in opposition, so that the outer movements at times resemble a chamber concerto for piano. Beethoven follows Mozart's plan of opening with a majestic slow introduction, though, typically, his rhetoric is more emphatic. One difference between the quintet version and the piano quartet arrangement is that whereas the leisurely cantabile themes of the Allegro ma non troppo were originally presented as keyboard solos, now the strings join in discreetly midway through. The development immediately transforms the exposition's final cadence in a mock-stormy C minor, with explosive scales from the piano and cussed offbeat accents, before a series of tense string dialogues against rippling keyboard figuration. Where Mozart rounds off his first movement with a tiny tailpiece, Beethoven, characteristically, balances his substantial development with a seventy-bar coda.
The Andante cantabile is a simple rondo design in which increasingly florid appearances of the main theme enfold two contrasting episodes in G minor and B flat minor. As in the first movement, a melody that had originally been a piano solo now acquires string accompaniment halfway through. The first episode opens as a plangent duet for violin and cello, their lines more elaborately ornamented than in the wind original, while in similar fashion the B flat minor episode recasts what was originally a noble horn solo as a more florid melody for viola.
For his finale Beethoven follows the examples of Mozart (in the horn concertos and several piano concertos) and his own B flat Piano Concerto (No 2) and writes a bouncy 'hunting' rondo in 6/8 time, doubtless prompted by the presence of the horn in the original ensemble. There are hints of Beethovenian truculence in the central episode, where the rondo theme suddenly erupts in E flat minor. But otherwise the mood is one of unbridled exuberance, right down to the teasing coda, where a tiny snatch of the main theme in the keyboard repeatedly provokes overlapping echoes in the violin—a charming detail that Beethoven added for the piano quartet version.
