January 23, 2012
Today the Supreme Court issued one decision, described below, of interest to the business community.
Federal Meat Inspection Act—Preemption
National Meat Association v. Harris, No. 10-224 (previously discussed in the June 27, 2011 Docket Report).
The Federal Meat Inspection Act ("FMIA" or "Act") contains an express preemption provision that prohibits States from imposing requirements with respect to the "facilities and operations" of any federally inspected slaughterhouse "which are in addition to, or different than," the requirements imposed by the Act. 21 U.S.C. § 678. Today, in National Meat Association v. Harris, No. 10-224, the Supreme Court held that this provision preempts a California statute that—by making it illegal for any slaughterhouse to "receive," "hold," "butcher," or otherwise "process" nonambulatory swine (Cal. Penal Code § 599f)—effectively requires that federally inspected slaughterhouses immediately euthanatize and dispose of nonambulatory swine upon their discovery.
Today's decision is of immediate importance to the meat packing industry. It is also likely to be important to other regulated industries subject to similarly worded federal statutes, because it makes clear that a statutory prohibition on "additional or different" state requirements precludes even those state laws that do not directly conflict with federal requirements.
In a decision authored by Justice Kagan, the Supreme Court unanimously reversed the Ninth Circuit's judgment below. The Court began by reviewing the detailed federal scheme governing slaughterhouse operations. The FMIA's implementing regulations establish rules that "apply from the moment a truck carrying livestock 'enters, or is in line to enter,' a slaughterhouse's premises." Slip op. 3. Under those rules, a federal inspector may designate a nonambulatory animal for immediate euthanasia and prohibit the sale of its carcass for human consumption, or may instead allow the animal's slaughter and then permit the sale of its carcass for human consumption after a post-mortem inspection.
Noting that the FMIA's preemption clause "sweeps widely" and prevents any state from imposing "any additional or different—even if non-conflicting—requirements" on slaughterhouse facilities or operations that fall within the scope of the Act, the Court concluded that the California statute was expressly preempted because it "compel[led]" slaughterhouses "to deal with nonambulatory pigs on their premises in ways that the federal Act and regulations do not." Slip op. 6. Because the FMIA's preemption clause covered "not just conflicting, but also different or additional state requirements" (id. at 7), it was irrelevant that federal law did not compel the processing of nonambulatory swine or require slaughterhouses to place such animals into the human food stream. The fact that federal law at least permitted their processing and sale while the California statute prohibited the same meant that the state law imposed "additional" requirements beyond those established under federal law. Id. at 7-8.
Finally, the Court rejected the Ninth Circuit's theory that the California statute was not preempted because it simply excluded an entire class of animals from the slaughtering process. Slip op. at 11. The Court noted that the scope of the FMIA extends to many animals on a slaughterhouse's premises that are never destined for human consumption—for example, animals infected with cholera or nonambulatory cattle. Indeed, there was no dispute that the FMIA empowered USDA toissue regulations mandating the immediate euthanasia of nonambulatory swine. Id. at 13. The fact that the agency could have—but did not—promulgate an immediate-euthanasia rule under the Act was proof positive that the state statute fell within the FMIA's scope, and accordingly was preempted inasmuch as it set forth additional requirements that the federal government had not yet seen fit to impose.
Mayer Brown filed an amicus brief on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America in support of petitioner.

RadioShack Corp. announced that it has named former Duane Reade/Walgreen Co. executive Mike De Fazio as senior vice president of store concepts.
Retail News Breaks Archives
FORT WORTH, Texas – RadioShack Corp. announced that it has named former Duane Reade/Walgreen Co. executive Mike De Fazio as senior vice president of store concepts.
The consumer electronics retailer said late Thursday that De Fazio's responsibilities include the conceptualization, design, development and implementation of a new shopping experience for its customers.
News of De Fazio's move to RadioShack was reported by Chain Drug Review last month.
At RadioShack, De Fazio joins Joe Magnacca, who in February became the chain's chief executive officer after leaving Walgreens, where he was executive vice president and president of daily products and solutions.
Most recently, De Fazio was senior director of store concepts for Duane Reade and Walgreens, the New York drug chain's parent company. RadioShack noted that he brings more than 36 years of retail experience to the retailer, including 30 years in store operations and merchandising.
Over the last six years, De Fazio helped lead the transformation of store concepts for Duane Reade and Walgreens into health and daily living destinations. And during his tenure at Walgreens from 2011 to 2013, he helped established the Walgreens "Well Experience" store format as well as the retailer's flagship stores.
"I have worked with Mike since 2008 and know that he has a unique ability to reinvent the shopping experience from the outside in," Magnacca said in a statement. "He starts from the consumer perspective and combines his experience as an operator and merchandiser with his talents as a visual and experiential designer to deliver an exciting, compelling and fun shopping experience to the store.
"Mike has been with the company only a few weeks, and he already has begun work on the transformation of our stores," Magnacca added. "We will be unveiling these new store prototypes over the next several months."
RadioShack's retail network includes about 4,600 company-operated stores in the United States and Mexico plus approximately 1,000 dealer and other outlets worldwide.

"Very great weapons system, very reliable … oldest weapon [still in use] in the United States arsenal" said Staff Sgt. Brian McClelland, training noncommissioned officer, A Company, 126th Brigade Support Battalion, Massachusetts Army National Guard. "Very few changes have been made to this weapon; they added a safety a few years ago," he said.
Other weapons changes have now occurred and the Soldiers who gathered at the 126th's armory in Springfield on February 24 were learning about them.
Three of the changes deal with issues unique to the M2: Changing the barrel and ensuring proper headspace and timing.
Because of the length of the weapon (the barrel alone is 45 inches long) and the fact that the barrel can overheat when firing for an extended period of time, the M2 is designed with a removable barrel. This allows the Soldier in the field to be able to remove/replace the barrel when necessary by screwing the barrel into place by hand. A special glove is included for use when the barrel is hot.
Headspacing the M2 ensures that the barrel is set in the proper position. Proper timing guarantees that all of the weapons moving parts are properly placed so that a round can be loaded and fired safely. This is done by hand and requires a special tool.
This is so important that in the Army field manual for the M2 warns "Firing a weapon that has improperly set headspace and timing could result in damage to the machine gun or injury to the gunner."
The improvement was a small round metal stud that is attached to the barrel and a matching grove placed on the body of the weapon.
"The barrel is being locked into the barrel extension and locked into the same place every time," said Richard Rathburn, training specialist, U.S. Army TACOM. "It alleviates the Soldier from having to set the headspace."
Eliminating the need for constant headspacing also eliminated the need for always timing the weapon. It also lowers the time the M2 is unable to fire to as little as 18 seconds.
"I like the fact that you don't have to do headspace and timing on it; it's already preset," said Sgt. Miguel Nieto, team leader, A Company, 1st Battalion, 181st Infantry Regiment, Massachusetts Army National Guard. "You can use a barrel from a different weapon and put it on the weapon you have … I think it's pretty awesome."
When the headspace and timing on the weapon needs to be done it can't be performed at the operator level and is sent to a maintenance facility.
"We run into that. The one's who love the old .50 cal. are the ones who were actually doing the procedures correctly never had a problem," said Rathburn. "There were training issues where the headspace and timing were not being set properly. There were … catastrophic malfunctions happening, so that's why we went to the headspace and timing [no longer being an operator function]."
One other advantage of the upgrade is that now the headspace and timing only needs to be done after approximately 30,000 – 50,000 rounds have been fired.

so we just got the rental car (and i was not a part of the decision), it's a 2010 Toyota 4 Runner. i saw the recall sticker that assured me that the accelerator wouldn't mess up. althought the sticker had the word safety misspelled... human error or just passed along? whatever, all the new Toyota's have been fixed up so it's no problem. but what a nice slice of humor my dad had when i said "it's a Toyota?". :)
so anyway today me and my family were going to drive up to colorado. it was at a desolate stretch when the cruise control on the suv screwed up. in seconds the speedometer went from 80mph (the speed limit) to 95mph in seconds. i started to freak out but my dad (who was driving) kept calm and slammed on the breaks enough and put the suv in neutral and shut it off. to make this long story short me and my family ended up going back home and we're going to get a rental car. man i hate panic attacks.
i'm so happy! this saturday me and my parents are going to new mexico and then colorado. it's gonna be nice to see a bit more of america, seeing as this is my first out-of-state trip. i don't know if that sounds childish but i'm just excited.
so today i went to a thrift store to browse around. i found this little travel guitar for $9.00 which i thought was overpriced. when i got to the counter to pay i asked why it was so overpriced considering the: no brand name, small size, awful strings, and dirtyness, and i got no answer. i felt so embaressed that i didn't take a second language, spanish inparticular. just because the area i live in is primarily hispanic, including me, doesn't mean i know spanish. there was no other person around to help so i forked over the money and bought it.
well i've been "out" to my dad for awhile and today i "came out" to my mom and it went so well. i never thought that it would go so smoothly but it did and i'm so relieved.
so anyway i'm 17 and last night my dad told me that me and my sister were adopted. i was shocked but i wasen't mad or anything... just shocked. this is the sort of stuff you see on tv or read in a book, i thought. i still love my parents and they're the best. although i'm still trying to grasp what's been said, but it'll sink in eventually.
i just joined since i don't have anything to do. i'm just home alone with my classical guitar... well i should get going.

Space Station: Frontier for iPad is hard to put down
I check the iPad apps lists every day in the hope to uncover new gems. Though the frequency of apps coming into the app store is probably better described as a trickle rather than a flood, there's already been a few keepers that I've spent a lot of time with. One new addition to my iPad is a strategy game like no other I've seen so far and I think it has just the right elements to keep strategy gaming fans coming back for more.

With the rain starting to lash down, festival goers start taking shelter under the lid of the dome-like BBC Introducing Stage where they're in for a fine treat with Findo Gask opening proceedings.
Singer Gerard Black has gone for a fetching purple polo shirt/orange cardigan combination, and sounds for all the world like Morrissey caught moonlighting at choir practise, back when he a prodigiously talented schoolboy.
It's a more cerebral start to the Sunday than many hungover festival goers might be able to handle, but the Glaswegian electro-indie outfit merit the hype surrounding them with a taut, impressive set.
Drummer Michael Marshall provides insistent juttering rhythms as the other three hunch over their electronic implements, though the multi-talented tubthumper switches to guitar for beguiling B-side Nubo, which comes along complete with carefully orchestrated vocal harmonies. They may be a new band, but they've already got their sound down to a T (see what I did there?).
They finish with first single Va Va Va, which starts off in a sensitive indie style before becoming something of a dancefloor stomper – well, if there was a dancefloor rather than some soggy grass to traipse upon.
The band finish, promising to be seen in attendance at the Pet Shop Boys. As it is, Findo Gask are the sort of band you'd fully expect to see further up the bill next year, one that makes you remember why you brave the slightly damp weather. Bright skies lie ahead, it seems...

Yay! It's fat quarter gang day today! It's my turn up for a project this week for Art Gallery Fabrics!
I'm sharing my newest tutorial the INDIE Project Bag Pattern! Anyone who knows me knows that I always have tons of projects on the go. I never go anywhere without at least one knitting/sewing project. Along with my projects I always have my trusty journals to write and sketch more ideas in. I even keep a journal beside the bed for ideas like the INDIE Bag when they pop into my head in the middle of the night.
The INDIE Project Bag came to me late one night when I was laying in bed having trouble sleeping. Sometimes when I can't sleep I think about sewing or knitting and the methodology soothes me. I was thinking of all the projects I have on the go and trying to schedule in my mind when I was going to get them all done. I realized that in order to make it easier for me to transport a lot of my projects at one time to my weekly knit nights or meetings for upcoming projects I would need a bigger project bag. Not just any project bag though. A simple tote just wasn't cutting it for me anymore. I wanted one with some attitude. A bit of modern, a hint of retro and of course, some quilting goodness.
I knew I was going to be using Pat's new line Indie and I had been daydreaming that day about how much I loved the line. All of a sudden visions of the dashes and angles from two of my fave prints in Indie popped into my head and the design of the INDIE project bag was born. It's fun to make, a great project to practice your quilting/topstitching skills and just think of all the fabric and color combos you could use!!
Want to here/see more about the INDIE project bag and make one with me? Pop on over to Art Gallery Fabrics for more yummy pics and a fancy PDF download with pattern pieces!
But don't forget! One of you is going to be a lucky winner of a fat quarter bundle of Indie by Pat Bravo for Art Gallery Fabrics!! Seriously one of my fave collections of the year. Yay!!!! Here's the deets:
- one lucky winner will win a fat quarter bundle of Indie by Pat Bravo for Art Gallery Fabrics.
- leave a comment to let us know when you have done any (or all) of the following:
- you must leave a valid email address in your comment or you will be disqualified.

One man comes up to us every morning. He always wears the same clothes—baggy blue sweatshirt, knitted cap, lone cigarette behind his right ear—and his greeting never varies. He bends over, touches Willa's nose with one stiff finger, chuckles, grips my shoulder hard, and shuffles away again. He never says a word. That one finger offered with courtly precision is his whole conversation, his way of telling us that he's still here. Willa receives his homage graciously. I wait. Someday, I hope, he'll speak.
Willa's most important role at the hospital is also the one she likes best: official conversation starter and soaker-up-of-affection. Before we begin our weekly spirituality group for acutely ill adults, she prances from patient to patient. She nudges hands, snuffles pockets, whacks knees with her tail. Occasionally, she decides that more drastic measures are required. Then she shoves her entire head into someone's lap and sighs theatrically until her patient cracks a smile.
This is Willa's version of pastoral care. I follow her around the circle and gather up the crumbs of stories she shakes loose. People talk haltingly, wistfully.
"I had a dog like that, when I was a kid. Lost him when I got sick."
"My dog's waiting for me, at home. I trained him special."
Or sometimes:
"When I go home, I'm gonna get a dog like her.""When I go home, I'll raise a puppy." When I go home … when I go home …"
Willa reminds people of home. That's the simplest way to explain what she does at John Umstead. My job, as a chaplain, is to stay with my patients wherever they are; I try to keep them company within their shattered realities. Willa's job, as a chaplain's dog, is simply to be real. She is a living, nudging, shedding, thoroughly insistent reminder that life outside the hospital exists. Beyond John Umstead's maze of locked doors, beyond the maze of mental illness, there's a wide, clear world. With dogs in it. Trees. Squirrels. People. Homes. Even cats, if you like them (Willa doesn't).
Because if the world—neatly personified as a Labrador rubbing her face on your jeans—is still there, perhaps there's room to keep hoping. In the end, that's what chaplains come here to say. I can't fix anything. I can't make my patients well (though I want to). But I can stay with them, and hope with them. And, by God's mischievous grace, I can bring my dog along.
Claire Wimbush is a senior divinity student; Willa is her second service dog. The first was a golden retriever named The Patience of Job by the rescue organization that found him and nursed him back to health following treatment for injuries that required amputation of his tail. Affectionately known as Jobie, he retired from service at the age of 9, just as Claire left home to attend the College of William & Mary.

A diet high in fatty fish, bilberries and wholegrain products improves markers of endothelial function and inflammation in individuals with impaired glucose metabolism in a randomised controlled trial: The Sysdimet study

Low-grade inflammation and endothelial dysfunction may play a role in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. We evaluated whether a diet high in fatty fish, bilberries and wholegrain products (Healthy Diet) improves biomarkers reflecting inflammation and endothelial dysfunction in individuals with impaired glucose metabolism.
We recruited individuals with impaired glucose metabolism and features of the metabolic syndrome into a 12 week, parallel design, dietary intervention trial conducted at the Department of Clinical Nutrition, University of Eastern Finland (Kuopio, Finland). Randomisation was performed by matching according to sex and medians of age, BMI and fasting plasma glucose of the study population at screening. The primary endpoint in the present study was the change in plasma inflammatory markers and the measurements were performed blinded to group assignment. High-sensitivity (hs) C-reactive protein (CRP) and E-selectin responses were also analysed separately in participants not using statins (n = 76).
Altogether, 131 individuals were assigned to either the Healthy Diet (n = 44), a whole-grain-enriched diet (WGED) (n = 42) or a control (n = 45) diet, and 104 participants (mean ± SD: age 59 ± 7 years; BMI 31.1 ± 3.5 kg/m2) who had completed the study, were analysed (Healthy Diet n = 36, WGED n = 34 and control diet n = 34). Plasma E-selectin decreased only in the Healthy Diet group. This occurred in all group participants (p < 0.05) and also after excluding participants using statins (p < 0.05). Plasma hsCRP levels decreased in the Healthy Diet (median −17%, p < 0.05) and WGED (median −27%, p < 0.01) groups in participants not using statins. Controlling for confounding factors, including BMI or insulin sensitivity, did not alter the results. A greater increase in plasma concentration of very-long-chain n-3 fatty acids and in the intake of fibre during the study was associated with a greater decrease in plasma E-selectin (p < 0.05). The intake of test breads consumed during the Healthy Diet and WGED interventions was inversely associated with the change in hsCRP levels (p < 0.001).
Our results suggest that the combined effect of fatty fish, bilberries and wholegrain products may improve endothelial dysfunction and inflammation in overweight and obese individuals at high risk of developing diabetes.

Critical Illness Cover may be the right insurance for you.
July 13th, 2011
The world is full of ups and downs and of both pleasant and unpleasant experiences and more often than not we only really concentrate on the pleasant ones and store them in our memories. Unfortunately because many of us do not like to think about the bad things that could happen to us and our loved ones, some people miss out on the opportunity to try and protect themselves financially against anything happening.
This is called taking a preventative measure against the future and safeguarding what you have got. As there is no way of stopping what happens to us, the only way you can protect you and your loved ones is by trying your best to cover every possible eventuality (within your means) to ensure that are covered should something happen. We all know that the thought of dying and becoming ill is not a nice thing to think about, but in some cases it has to be thought of and potentially adequate insurance policies to be taken out to cover just in case anything was to happen.
If you are one of these types of people that put things off until it is possibly too late then maybe you should consider your options sooner rather than later and leaving it too late that something has already happened. Unfortunately we are all only given one life and one life only, so we should try our best to live it the best we can and take cover to safeguard ourselves should something crop up. Why shouldn't we try and look after what we have got so far, cherish the memories we have and look forward to creating new ones.
Life and critical illness insurance is not there to stop us becoming ill, however it can offer us and our loved ones a payout (dependant on the amount you choose to insure for) should in the event anything happen to the insured parties. If you or your partner were to become seriously ill and were unable to work, how would you and your family manage to survive on one wage? This goes without saying but if your illness ended up taking your life, again how would your loved ones cope financially?
A difficult and often worrying question to answer, relying on financial incomes to maintain a steady lifestyle in addition to finding the money to assist a person suffering from a critical illness adapt to their surroundings, how would many of us cope without the financial stability of some form of insurance cover? Critical illness cover prevents the need to disrupt personal lives by offering a tax free lump sum of cash to help the affected individual and their families to maintain as normal an existence as possible and remains to grow in popularity as premiums become more affordable the earlier a policy is taken out and remain highly competitive.
If you had a critical illness insurance policy in force, upon diagnosis of a medically confirmed acceptable critical illness being diagnosed an insurance policy would pay out a tax free cash lump sum for which the remaining members of you family could spend on what they wished. Should you survive the illness you may need medical attention and nursing help at your own home. This of course does not come cheap and again the money from the critical illness insurance pay out could be used to help treat you and look after you needs. Without this money how would your family cope and manage to survive on a daily basis? These are the things that should be taken into consideration when looking around at different types of insurance products to protect you and your loved ones.

Finding a cash loan
July 8th, 2011
Finding a cash loan is one option that people can do to solve their financial problems. Having a cash loan from their friends, family or relatives may be the first thing that they usually do. The reason why they choose their friends or family to borrow the money because they may not charge any interest rates. And this reason is very true and most people do this thing to solve their financial problems. But if they can not find any cash loans from their friends or family, then they may try to apply for a cash loan from financial companies such as bank. Before applying a cash loan to a financial company, people must know how urgent is their financial condition and how fast they need the money. A bank is a good place for people to find a cash loan because the rates is fixed and the company is legal. But there are 2 problems if people need to get the money as soon as possible and if their credit score is bad. A bank will not able to process a loan application within few days, a bank may need a week or even weeks to process a loan application. A bank also will check the credit score of the applicants. If the credit score is bad, then a bank will reject the application.
So if the problem is finding a financial company that can process a loan application quickly and does not check the credit score of the applicants, then people can try to find payday loan lenders. Payday loans online hub is a web blog and you can find more information about payday loans. Payday loans online hub provides basic information about payday loans and people can find the page of payday loans online hub by accessing this http://paydayloansonlinehub.com. A payday loan lender can process and approve a loan application within a day as long as the applicants can submit all the requirements asked. The reason why a payday loan lender can process a loan application within a day because they do not check the credit score of the applicants. Without doing the credit score check, a payday loan lender can speed up the approval process. One most important requirement is that the applicants must be able to give and submit a proove that they are have a job with income not less than $1,000. If their income is less than $1,000 then the lender will not continue the process and will reject the application.

What Happens to Second Mortgage After Foreclosure on the First?
July 6th, 2011
I have a foreclosure soon to take place on my first mortgage. What happens to the second mortgage if it is paid up to date? I was so stupid that paid a company XYZ $1000 to negotiate a plan for paying the first loan. they promised me that the first mortgage lender would surely accept their plan. But they dropped the ball and the first lender won`t take anything. Now, it`s just 10 days left for the foreclosure sale. The lender is simply trying to blame it on me. Is there anyway I can get back the $1000? What`s going to happen when they sell off the home? Will the sheriff come and keep all my possessions if I`m still there in the property? I`m so upset, I could have used the $1000 towards the first mortgage instead of paying XYZ. What do you suggest now?
Once the first mortgage lender forecloses your property, he will sell it to the highest bidder in the foreclosure auction sale. The sale proceeds will be used to pay down your first loan and then the second. If there is a shortage, and the first lender fails to retrieve the entire first loan balance, he may give you a time period as per the state or bank laws after which you`ll have to vacate the property. There`ll be a date set by the Sheriff on which he`ll come and evict you if at all you don`t move out.
Now, when the first lender carries out a foreclosure sale, the second mortgage lender can take the following steps:
File a deficiency judgment against you if the foreclosure sale doesn`t cover the entire second mortgage loan balance.
File a civil judgment against you in court or garnish your income.
Bid for the property at the time of foreclosure sale in order to recover the money the second lender has invested.
Even after the first lender sells off property, the second lender can pay off the required amount of money to the first and get back property at the end of the redemption period.
Apart from the steps above, the second lender can also charge-off any unpaid debt after getting a part of the sale proceeds when the first loan is paid off. This means that the second lender considers the debt as uncollectible. But you still don't lose your obligation to pay off second mortgage after foreclosure.
A 2nd mortgagecharge-off will have a negative impact on your credit score. So, try to repay the charged-off debt and request the second lender so that he reports to the bureaus who can then update the status on your credit report as "Paid Charge-off" or "Settled Charge-off".
In case you don`t pay off the charged-off debt, it may be considered as income and depending upon the state laws, you may have to pay tax on the unpaid debt. However, if your lender forgives the unpaid debt, you may not have to pay tax provided you qualify for tax relief on mortgage debt forgiveness.
What I suggest is, save up your money for rent because foreclosure is inevitable as it`s only 10 days left for the sale. Also, try to negotiate with the second lender so that he accepts the amount that you can pay off in easy installments. This will help you avoid a charge-off being reflected on your credit report.

How do you unlock all of the locked characters?
Games Guru: As far as I can tell, this game has three unlockable characters: Rock Lee, Kyuubi Naruto and Sharingan Kakashi.
To get Rock Lee, you have to make it all the way through Zabuza in the story mode with no continues. After you beat Zabuza, you get a shot at Rock Lee. Beat him, and he's yours.
To unlock Kyuubi, you need to beat the entire game twice with each character in single-player mode.
After you unlock Kyuubi, play the single-player mode one more time as Kakashi. Once you win, Kakashi will be unlocked.
dude there are like 26 unlockable characters!!!!!!!!
i can't get past mission two please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Naruto is the most dumbest,boringest,lame game on this whole entire universe.Chakra is the corniest name ever made up,like i mean come on guys how could you like it.
there is one person more than games guru says demon saske . you have to beat 1p mode 13 times with a score of hokage wich is 999,999 believe me i have done it.NOTE with saska. there is also lee's grampa and sakra's sister
by the way the best akatsuki are kakazu, kisame and sasori
my fave characters (on clash of ninja 2) are sharingan sasuke, orochimaru, rock lee and shikamaru, my friend likes gaara but i think hes only ok
my least fave characters are crow, kankuro and naruto
i have clash of ninja 2 and i have every character. some unlockable characters are: might guy, zabuza, haku, kankuro, akamaru, sharingan kakashi, orochimaru, nine-tailed naruto, crow, sharingan sasuke, mizuki, and iruka. i havent played it for a while so i dont remember everyone, cause theres a LOT!!!
I got this game for 6.99 at half price books ond i love it. However the Ninja counual 3 is better.

I really like this emr. It takes off every trace of eye mu. Even wp mascara, which Bi facil didn't even help with. I haven't had any irritation, and there's no oily feel at all. The skin around my eyes is just soft.
i love love love this EMR! i only use this, i don't use any other kinds. i tried to go cheaper like a d/s one but i HATED it. i dont know why more ppl dont like it, all you have to do is shake it, it's not a big deal at all. i dont saturate my cotton ball in it either, it's that effective. the only issue i have is it does sell out every time!! so i always keep at least one spare on hand. i use this every single day and i dont feel oily after, but very soft. my sister also uses this and loves it.
it has no fragrance and i dont think it's too expensive. i love it. if they were to discontinue it i would literally cry. my eyes are sensitive and i wear contacts, but this doesnt bother them at all. i will repurchase this over and over and over again!
This is my favorite eye makeup remover for the price. It removes all traces of eye makeup even stubborn waterproof mascara gently. It leaves the eye area soft and moiste with no greasy after feel. However, the only thing I don't like about it is the way the oil and the rest of the cleanser are separated so the cleanser is not consistent toward the end of the bottle. For the price Victoria's Secret sells it for, it was completely sold out in my area for 2 months now. Lancome eye makeup remover is also another good one too, but it's just too darn pricey. I would buy this product again.
This is my HG of makeup removers - this stuff is great! It completely removes all of my makeup (including that pesky eyeliner and mascara!) but doesn't leave an oily residue like so many other eye makeup removers. Highly recommended!
This is an okay eye makeup remover. For some reason, I have been losing lashes while using it. So, I won't be repurchasing. Plus, I had a hard time removing my mascara, and I don't even use waterproof.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I like this eye makeup remover. I wear contacts and it's never given me any problems. You have to shake it up a lot in order to get it all to blend but it removes makeup away super fast.
A less expensive version of Lancome's BiFacil. No fragrance. I bought it specifically for removing longwear lipstick and it works beautifully. Works very well at removing eye makeup, too, and does not leave an oily residue. A good find for $8.50 and I'll definitely buy another.
I had always used Clinique's Take Off the Day and wanted to try a new product. When I took it home and shook it up, there were flakes floating around and thought they had given me a tester. When I went back to exchange it, all the bottles had floating things inside. It does a super job of removing my eyeshadow, mascara and liner without being greasy. I am definately going to be buying this again.
I just bought this makeup remover about 2 weeks ago and I have finally found a makeup remover I actually like! I seems oily when you look at it in the bottle but once you shake it up it's not at all. My only beef is that you have to really saturate your cotton ball, but it totally works at taking all of your make up off. Plus it actually has kind of a cooling sensation when it dries.

Pessimistic Existentialism (pt. 4)
from R.C. Sproul Feb 12, 2009 Category: Articles
Here we see the vivid contrast between pessimistic existentialism and Christianity. Christianity also features a ringing call to courage. The most frequent negative prohibition found in the New Testament comes from the lips of Jesus--"Fear not!" This command is given so often by Christ that it almost seems like a greeting. One gets the impression that virtually every time Jesus appears to His disciples, He begins the conversation by saying, "Fear not." Keep Reading -
Pessimistic Existentialism (pt. 3)
from R.C. Sproul Feb 11, 2009 Category: Articles
European films, such as those of Ingmar Bergman, Antonini, and Fellini have communicated some of the motifs of existentialism. The "theater of the absurd," a phenomenon that began in France in the 1950s and came to Broadway in the 1960s, was another vehicle of existentialism. The theater of the absurd gained prominence with Samuel Beckett's play, Waiting for Godot. In this play, two vagrants pass the time while waiting for the unidentified Godot. But Godot never arrives. Godot is a thinly veiled characterization of God. The idea is that modern man lives in the absence of God. He waits for God, but God never shows up. Keep Reading -
Pessimistic Existentialism (pt. 2)
from R.C. Sproul Feb 10, 2009 Category: Articles
Our dilemma is this: We are caring persons living in a world that doesn't care. We cannot look above the universe or outside the universe to find someone who cares. There is nobody out there; there is nobody home in heaven. Dr. James Montgomery Boice tells the story of an amateur mountain climber who fell over the side of a steep precipice which dropped off to a cavern thousands of feet below. One lone scraggly bush clung to the face of the cliff and the climber desperately grasped it to keep from plunging into the abyss. But the bush was not strong enough to bear his weight and began slowly to work lose from its roots. In sheer terror the climber screamed to heaven, "Is there anyone up there who can help me?" Suddenly a sonorous bass voice was heard from the clouds. "Yes, I can help you. But you must trust me. Let go of the bush." The climber stole a glance downward and then looked again toward heaven. He exclaimed, "Is there anyone else up there who can help?!" Keep Reading -
Pessimistic Existentialism (pt. 1)
from R.C. Sproul Feb 09, 2009 Category: Articles
"Man is a useless passion." These words penned by the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre provide the model of modem existentialism. In this simple statement are found the most basic elements of a modern theory of man. It is a bottom-line judgment, a grim conclusion to the question, "What's it all about?" Keep Reading -
The Witness of Matthew
from R.C. Sproul Feb 03, 2009 Category: Articles
In the history of biblical studies, we have seen in the last two centuries the rise of so-called "higher criticism." So much of higher criticism is fueled by skepticism with respect to the reliability of the biblical texts. Since orthodox Christians stand opposed to many of the arguments of higher critics, they sometimes overlook valuable insights that can be gained through critical analysis of the text. Some of these analyses can be very helpful to our endeavor of seeking an accurate understanding of the Bible. Keep Reading -
Secularism: Ignoring the Eternal (pt. 4)
from R.C. Sproul Jan 29, 2009 Category: Articles
Such a standpoint cannot be found in the New Testament. The Christ of Scripture was profoundly concerned with this world. This world was the site and purpose of the Incarnation. The God of heaven so loved this world that He sent His Son to redeem it. This is the world God created. This is the world God is redeeming. There is no other theater of God's redemptive action than this world. There is a profound sense in which we are called to be secular people. Keep Reading -
Secularism: Ignoring the Eternal (pt. 3)
from R.C. Sproul Jan 28, 2009 Category: Articles
For secularism, all life, every human value, every human activity must be understood in light of this present time. The secularist either flatly denies or remains utterly skeptical about the eternal. He either says there is no eternal or if there is we can know nothing about it. What matters is now and only now. All access to the above and the beyond is blocked. There is no exit from the confines of this present world. The secular is all that we have. We must make our decisions, live our lives, make our plans, all within the closed arena of this time--the here and now. Keep Reading -
Secularism: Ignoring the Eternal (pt. 2)
from R.C. Sproul Jan 27, 2009 Category: Articles
Historically, the word secular is a positive word in the Christian's vocabulary. The church has always had a good view of that which was regarded as secular. In the Middle Ages, for example, men were ordained to a specific role in the priesthood that was called the "secular priesthood." These were men who had responsibilities which took them out of the institution of the church to minister in the world where there were specific needs requiring the healing touch or the priestly mission of the church. Keep Reading -
Secularism: Ignoring the Eternal (pt. 1)
from R.C. Sproul Jan 26, 2009 Category: Articles
Students of history realize that no society can survive, no civilization can function, without some unifying system of thought. All societies are made up of different people, different jobs, different values, and different classes. In a broad sense, all societies are melting pots. Keep Reading -
Abortion: The Moral Issue of Our Day
from R.C. Sproul Jan 21, 2009 Category: Articles
On January 22, 1973 the Supreme Court came to a verdict in the case of Roe v. Wade, the case that legalized abortion. This case is still as controversial today as it was in 1973 and continues to be in the forefront of our day. Keep Reading

Sometimes, it is necessary to apply a linear transformation to a random variable. This lesson explains how to make a linear transformation and how to compute the mean and variance of the result.
A linear transformation is a change to a variable characterized by one or more of the following operations: adding a constant to the variable, subtracting a constant from the variable, multiplying the variable by a constant, and/or dividing the variable by a constant.
When a linear transformation is applied to a random variable, a new random variable is created. To illustrate, let X be a random variable, and let m and b be constants. Each of the following examples show how a linear transformation of X defines a new random variable Y.
Note: Suppose X and Z are variables, and the correlation between X and Z is equal to r. If a new variable Y is created by applying a linear transformation to X, then the correlation between Y and Z will also equal r.
Suppose a linear transformation is applied to the random variable X to create a new random variable Y. Then, the mean and variance of the new random variable Y are defined by the following equations.
Y = mX + b and Var(Y) = m2 * Var(X)
where m and b are constants, Y is the mean of Y, X is the mean of X, Var(Y) is the variance of Y, and Var(X) is the variance of X.
Note: The standard deviation (SD) of the transformed variable is equal to the square root of the variance. That is, SD(Y) = sqrt[ Var(Y) ].
Problem 1
The average salary for an employee at Acme Corporation is $30,000 per year. This year, management awards the following bonuses to every employee.
What is the mean bonus received by employees?
(A) $500 (B) $3,000 (C) $3,500 (D) None of the above. (E) There is not enough information to answer this question.
The correct answer is C. To compute the bonus, management applies the following linear transformation to the each employee's salary.
Y = mX + b Y = 0.10 * X + 500
where Y is the transformed variable (the bonus), X is the original variable (the salary), m is the multiplicative constant 0.10, and b is the additive constant 500.
Since we know that the mean salary is $30,000, we can compute the mean bonus from the following equation.
Y = mX + b Y = 0.10 * $30,000 + $500 = $3,500
Problem 2
The average salary for an employee at Acme Corporation is $30,000 per year, with a variance of 4,000,000. This year, management awards the following bonuses to every employee.
What is the standard deviation of employee bonuses?
(A) $200 (B) $3,000 (C) $40,000 (D) None of the above. (E) There is not enough information to answer this question.
The correct answer is A. To compute the bonus, management applies the following linear transformation to the each employee's salary.
Since we know the variance of employee salaries, we can compute the variance of employee bonuses from the following equation.
Var(Y) = m2 * Var(X) = (0.1)2 * 4,000,000 = 40,000
where Var(Y) is the variance of employee bonuses, and Var(X) is the variance of employee salaries.
And finally, since the standard deviation is equal to the square root of the variance, the standard deviation of employee bonuses is equal to the square root of 40,000 or $200.

Featuring pork, cabbage and apples, a German-style supper brings an Oktoberfest feel to your table throughout the year.

Buttered egg noodles and thinly sliced cucumbers with green onions in a mint or herb vinaigrette would be delicious with the pork and cabbage.
For a pretty presentation, mound the cabbage in the center of a platter and arrange slices of the pork and slices of fresh apple around it. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
Look for red cabbage with bright color and firmly packed, crisp-looking leaves. Cooking the cabbage in vinegar helps preserve its rosy red color.

okay, so ridiculous journal name, right?
well, WRONG.
Drive My Car is a Beatles song (from the Rubber Soul album) and it's the tune that's been stuck in my head all day (and is pretty frequent on humming rotation). with every update, whether it be about music, life, or whatever, i'll add the "update hum song", which'll be whatever song that i can't seem to get out of my head.
i guess i'll get the wheels moving by talking about my ambition to live off music. of course it's the most cliche thing for an almost 17 year old band-shirt wearing, big-haired "rocker" kid to say, but damnit, i believe in it.
i started writing for real with just melodies, guitar, and lyrics, but recently i've been experimenting with my friends (almost all of which are musicians in some aspect), and although i'm beginning to gain confidence, i really want to get out of this rut i'm in. the rut being that my friend Macks and I, who jam on a constant basis and have written several unfinished diddies together, have yet to truly form a band or to play a show (which we're capable of doing if we actually practiced). Macks writes a load of his own material and uses his Boss BR-SomethingOrOther to record it (though he's an absolute anal perfectionist so nothing has been released), and has offered to let me use it, but our time schedules never seem to pan out where we can have a real "practice" or record anything we've written.
Macks is an amazing musician (especially as a guitarist and for his age) and i've been told that my style and my personal feel is impressive and unique (though i know that Macks' style is much better). still, i can't seem to finish more than a song, and we've yet to record the one song we have almost entirely finished.
well damn that was a lot.
if you read that, HIGH FIVE!
if not, trust me... i wouldn't.

Steel reserve about a month ago. I had a hangover that same night even before going to bed. Aweful aweful stuff. Me and the lady decided to party it up before she left for a week and were shopping for her camping trip so picked up two of them. Got home and she opened them both, we barely finished one together. Took shots instead.
Steel Reserve is NASTY STUFF!! There was some of that at a party last Saturday. I hadn't tasted the dragon in so long. I went for a can. I was pretty drunk. You know the kind of drunk where painfull is funny? Well I knew it was going to suck but I think I learned my lesson. You know that nasty beer face you get when you drink Natty Ice? Well it goes away after a couple of sips as you adjust. You never adjust with the Reserve. Gut Rot my friends.
While perhaps not the absolute worst beer I've ever had, a few months ago I paid craft brew prices for a 4 pack of Horse Piss Beer. I figured, with a name like that it must be good. Right? It seriously tasted like a blend of Miller Lite, Busch Lite, well water, and Palmolive dish soap. Say, 40/40/15/5 on the proportions. To be avoided.
My FIRST BAD BEER: in 1972 at the age of 6. I got into my Grandfather's "Stash" of "Garage Beer". Garage Beer was the stuff he got as a gift or bought on sale and "Lagered" in his garage by his boat. Cases and cases of stuff that was out of date by a long shot. The First bad beer was a Can of Schitz er ahh Schlitz that HAD NO PULL TAB. Who in hell knows how old it truly was? It was BAD! So Bad, that it was almost 10 years later before I tried another beer/ Bad Beer #2: Carlings Black Label.... made me believe that Canadians were EVIL.
Growing up in a bush village, we never had good beer. So when I went to college in Minnesota, I didn't know that there were different classes of beer. Until I drank Lost Lake. That putrid walleye-piss of a beer was so bad that the three of us ACTUALLY DIDN'T FINISH A 30 PACK! We all had the ****s the next day, and one of us couldn't drink beer for the rest of the week! That being said, to this day, my favorite cheap beer is Keystone Ice. It was the only beer we could get our hands on, and I will always love "Black Beauties." Don't judge me.
"I fear the man who drinks water and so remembers this morning what the rest of us said last night." -Greek Proverb
I brewed an apa a couple months ago that was pretty hideous. It tasted like feet.. nasty, stanky, swamp feet with a hint of ass. Not only did it taste like it was infected but that **** finished at like 1.022 so it was sickeningly sweet. I refused to throw it out and drank 5 gallons of it. Some of it I cut 60/40 with some dunkel weizen which made it much more bearable, some I drank straight but no matter how you sliced it, that **** was ****ing nasty. I figured it would serve as a good reminder to do my best to brew good beer. I haven't used safale 05 since either.
"24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence?"
Absolute worst beer ive ever drunk (more than once)....HEFFENREFFER PRIVATE STOCK...Numerous High School weekenders...lolHaffenreffer Malt Liquor
Steel Reserve is indeed nasty stuff. I bought a 4 pack of it while I was living in downtown Madison. Memories of vomiting loudly are all I can process right now. Hamm's was another bad one. Had that for 50 cents a can at some bar in River Falls. That was a black out night.
Koch's Golden Anniversary Beer is probably the worst beer that I have ever had. In fact, I think a case of Pepsi is more expensive then this beer.
I also gotta toss in a vote for Steel Reserve as well. On the way home from a tattoo session I decided to buy one because i'd never had it before and I couldn't even finish it. Absolutely wretched stuff. My other vote goes to Hurricane High Gravity malt liquor. Had a terrible week at work and just wanted to go home and get druck and chill out. Popped into the local liquor store on the way home, proceeded to the couch and popped open my can of whoop-ass. I think I managed to drink less then half of it down before I ended up giving it back to the porcelain god.
