If you want a shoe that provides stability, traction and support, then the Babolat Propulse Lady 3 is the shoe for you. While the break-in period is extended, the general comfort of the shoe is commendable. The shoe's support and stability rated highly, with our TW playtesters enjoying the 3-point locking system holding their feet in place. There was no fear of spraining your ankle with the Propulse Lady 3. Our testers did, however, experience pain and discomfort from stiffness in the heel and the height of the heel collar, even though they noted the high level of support. Good durability was matched with a high level of traction, as our testers moved freely and with confidence in this Babolat shoe. As is almost always the case, good durability and support came with one drawback: weight. Despite our testers' preferences for lighter shoes, this heavier shoe still allowed good movement. Visually pleasing in a cosmetically unique package, this Babolat Propulse Lady 3 is a performance shoe that will keep you secure.
Comfort - Score: 2.9
While the Babolat Propulse Lady 3 is a comfortable shoe after a wear-in period, the stiffness in the heel caused some issues. Liking the general comfort, but only finding it after an excessively long break-in, was Tiffani. She said, "Holy break-in, Batgirl! This shoe required a lot of wearing around before it got comfortable. The first time I put on the shoe it felt snug on my wider foot. The forefoot softened up fairly easily, and after an hour or two the uppers felt supple and comfortable. The heel area, however, is another story entirely. It took well over a week of play before it showed any signs of getting more comfortable. The heel area comes up really high and is super stiff. Initially, I made the mistake of wearing no-show socks and my achilles was rubbed raw. There is great support, but it's just too stiff in the heel for me. I don't think Babolat needs the TPU to come up so high because the adjustable heel strap provides enough support on its own. Once I got past the heel issue, the shoe offered good cushioning, but it sure was a chore to get to that point."
"I will first start off with the break-in period," said Brittany. "The shoe is very stiff, and the break-in period was probably the longest I have ever had with a women's shoe. It took over a week of play before they slowly started to loosen up. I ended up with blisters on my heel, specifically higher up on my right heel. I never felt them fully soften up, and they stayed a little on the stiffer side. They did become more comfortable after the break-in period. My biggest complaint was with the ankle collar. I normally wear no-show socks, and the extremely high ankle collar pushed into my ankle, giving me a bruise. I found a fix to this problem by wearing socks that had a cushioned tab at the heel, giving me some relief."
Siobhan agreed with the rest of the playtesters, saying, "Need it be repeated? The break-in is … excessive. The height of the ankle collar and the stiffness of the collar are excessive. I don't really understand the necessity of such protection, especially since it dug into all the places I didn't want hard plastic to dig into. I didn't get any blisters, but it was uncomfortable and it prevented me from moving properly because I didn't want it to dig in (particularly with a sensitive ankle from a past surgery). To reduce the discomfort around the heel collar I loosened the 3-point locking system (the Velcro fasteners that tightened the shoe), which was kind of a catch-22 because I Iost some of the good fit and stability. After break-in, the shoe was pretty comfortable. I feel that Babolat shot itself in the foot a little because the negativity concerning the stiffness and height of the collar really distracts from the fact that I actually found this a decently comfortable shoe. Just don't forget to wear high socks."
Karly was ready for the Propulse Lady 3's initial discomfort. She said, "Luckily, Brittany warned me about the harsh break-in period before I played in them, so I wore them around for a few days before I took them to the court. Even then I got some bad heel blisters after the first hitting session. The heel was definitely the stiffest part of the shoe, and I don't think it will ever fully break-in because of the plastic guard on the heel of the shoe. I think the shoes would've been much more comfortable if it weren't for the extremely firm heel."
Ventilation - Score: 3.1
Although the ventilation wasn't the best, the Propulse Lady 3's breathability was acceptable. For a black shoe, Brittany found it to have good ventilation. She said, "I wouldn't say I found the ventilation to be spectacular, but I found it to be around average for your normal women's tennis shoe."
Karly also found the breathability to be passable. She said, "I thought the ventilation was so-so. The shoes didn't make me want to take them off immediately after play, but they also weren't the most breathable shoes. My feet were a little warm when hitting in them, though not enough to bother me. Overall, breathability was just average."
Tiffani wasn't much of a fan. She said, "The shoe was average at best when it came to ventilation. I didn't notice my feet getting too hot during play, but I had to take these off immediately after playing."
Siobhan agreed with Brittany, adding, "The ventilation wasn't really something I thought about too much. It wasn't the best shoe for breathability, but it's not something that bothered me. For such a heavy duty shoe, I think the ventilation was acceptable."
Arch Support - Score: 3.5
Our playtesters had mixed opinions when it came to the arch support. Having some discomfort was Brittany. She said, "I was not a fan of the arch support in this shoe. The support was lower than I would have liked under my arch. In addition, I found there to be another support on the outside of my foot, creating a very uncomfortable feeling. While that support did slightly compress during the playtest, I was still able to feel it at the end."
Tiffani had more of a neutral opinion regarding the arch support, saying, "I have a low arch, just ask Dr. Scholls. The shoe didn't feel like it had much in terms of arch support to me, but with my foot type that didn't matter at all. I never experienced any pain and didn't think about it much at all."
Karly agreed with Tiffani. She said, "This was another area where I was neutral. The arch support was lower than average, though it didn't cause any discomfort or aching for my feet. I think the support could've been higher, but I was OK with them the way they were."
Siobhan has a high arch, but also didn't have any complaints. She said, "Again, not an issue. The support wasn't necessarily there, but it didn't really need to be any more supportive, as far as I was concerned. On one hand, it's nice to have the support, but I can't really complain about it if it didn't cause my any pain or discomfort by not being there."
Foot Support/Stability - Score: 4.3
The playtesters found the shoe support to be a favorite aspect of the shoe. Two words from Siobhan: "Locked in." She continued, "It had really good support. My only complaint would be that I had to loosen the 3-point support system to reduce the pain around the ankle collar. This made the shoe not as supportive as I would have liked, because I moved around in it a little too much. Aside from that, I had no thoughts of turning an ankle. Once I wore it in a bit I felt a lot more stable because I could tighten everything without the original pain. Despite my initial problems, I enjoy playing in this shoe because it feels like I have armor on my feet and I'm really stabilized."
Thinking that the shoe provided a tremendous amount of support for her feet was Karly. She said, "My ankles felt secure, and I never hesitated when changing directions. I noticed that after I broke them in the front of the shoes got much wider and there was a completely different fit in the forefoot. The more I played, the more room I had in the front of the shoe. I didn't mind since I have a wider forefoot."
Tiffani was also impressed by the support. "This shoe felt like it was built for battle. I could cinch the shoe down really well with the adjustable straps. Though I felt that the heel support was overkill, there was absolutely no question that I was locked into this shoe. Rolling an ankle was the furthest thing from my mind when I was wearing the Propulse Lady 3. The shoe widened up in the forefoot, but that made it a good fit for my wider foot, and I felt like I could trust this shoe in any situation."
Brittany really noticed the 3-point support system. She said, "Due to the various straps on top of the lacing system and around the heel, I found the Babolat Propulse Lady 3 to hold my foot in place well, sometimes almost too well. I did appreciate the ability to adjust the straps to get the right support, and it gave the shoe a glove-like fit, but I found myself adjusting them quite frequently, sometimes throughout a practice. For example, I would start off with the straps a little tighter, then I would have to loosen them, and then adjust them one more time to somewhere in the middle."
Overall Sole Durability - Score: 4.2
Most of our testers thought highly of the outsole of this shoe. Brittany thought that this was the best aspect of the shoe, saying, "I found the sole to have very good durability. The sole is almost perfect at the end of the playtest, with a very small amount of smoothing on the ball of my foot. The bonus: It has a six-month durability guarantee!"
The Propulse Lady 3 landed near the top of the list in the durability category for Tiffani. She said, "I saw very little wear on the outsole after about 15 hours. By this time I would usually see some smoothing out in the tread under ball of my foot. Honestly, this outsole looks like I put just a couple of hours on it. I won't be needing the durability guarantee that Babolat provides for this shoe."
The Propulse Lady 3 didn't live up to Karly's expectations. She said, "The sole durability surprised me. For being a somewhat heavier shoe, I anticipated them to last a little longer than they did. If it weren't for my high expectations I'd say the durability was average, compared to other shoes. I just would've like to have seen them last longer."
Siobhan found the durability up to her standards, particularly because it was such a heavy duty shoe. She said, "I liked the Michelin Tire Man on the sole because it made it seem heavy duty, and I feel like it lived up to my expectations. I had minimal wear after a decent playtesting period, and I had great traction the whole time."
Toe Durability - Score: 4.2
Even our biggest toe draggers were impressed with the durability of the toe bumper. For Karly, the shoe was more durable around the toe than the rest of the sole. She said, "I'm not the world's biggest toe dragger, but I do drag my feet from time to time. I thought the toe box had a good amount of coverage, to where I didn't have to worry about wearing through the front of the shoe when I did drag my toes."
Brittany thought the high durability translated well to the toe protection. She said, "Like the sole durability, toe durability was excellent on this shoe. The toe bumper went up high enough to protect the shoe from dragging and was slightly thicker than most shoes. Because the toe bumper is black there was no cosmetic damage to the shoe, and I can only see a small amount of smoothing."
Also with positive marks for the toe protection was Tiffani. She said, "I was impressed, once again, with the durability. Like the outsole, I saw little to no wear on the toe bumper. It easily withstood my abuse."
Traction - Score: 3.8
Though the reviews were mixed, most of our playtesters found the traction to be optimal. Finding the traction to be more than sufficient was Siobhan. She said, "The traction was really solid. I was able to move in these really well and didn't have any worries about slipping or sticking. The shoe was easy to move in, so no worries here."
Tiffani was really pleased with the traction of the Propulse Lady 3. She said, "Though the shoe took some break-in to get the proper heel-to-toe flex I needed for optimal contact with the court, the traction was outstanding from the get-go. A lot of times durable shoes aren't the best in the traction department, but the Propulse Lady 3 pleased me in both categories. I never slipped and never felt tripped up by too much stick."
Karly thought the shoes lost their traction fairly quickly. She offered, "The more I played in them, the more I tended to slide. The shoe also collected a lot of ball fuzz on the bottom of the shoe, which didn't help with the traction. Every time I finished hitting I had to wipe off all the fuzz on the sole, which was a little annoying."
Brittany needed a bit of an adjustment period when it came to traction on the Babolat Propulse 3. She said, "At the beginning of the playtest I found that the traction was great, so great that I was getting stuck when I had to quickly change directions. After a couple of hits I was able to adjust my movements and was able to utilize the grip of the outsole to my benefit."
Weight - Score: 3.4
While our playtesters moved in the shoes better than they expected, the Propulse Lady 3 does have added weight for durability and stability. Tiffani had some trouble moving, saying, "I don't mind weight in shoes, how they move from step to step is more important to me. This shoe didn't feel heavy, but it felt clunky on my foot. I think it was because the heel counter was too high and didn't allow my foot to bend enough, making me feel the shoe every time I picked up my foot to move."
"Having such good stability and durability has a downside," said Brittany. "I found the weight of the Propulse Lady 3 to be on the heavier side of all the shoes I have playtested. I definitely moved better than I thought I would after I felt the weight of the shoes, but I did not feel as quick on the court as I normally do. I did get used to the weight as the playtest went on. However, I personally prefer a lighter shoe, and would rather sacrifice a little durability and stability."
Siobhan had mixed opinions on the weight. She said, "On the one hand, it felt pretty good for such a durable and stable shoe. You sacrifice weight for those other aspects, and it was definitely playable and fine to move in. I don't have any complaints about this, despite generally favoring lighter shoes. On the other hand, I just feel that the overkill of materials on the ankle and the excessive use of TPU was unnecessary. They need to reduce the clunkiness of this shoe, because it felt more like a boot than a shoe."
Karly threw some wisdom our way, saying, "Take the saying, 'don't judge a book by it's cover', and apply it to these shoes. To me they look like a very heavy shoe, but I felt I moved better in them than I expected. I thought they would weigh me down more when playing in them, but I could move fairly quickly in them, which was a nice surprise."
Overall - Score: 3.6
Brittany - "The durability and stability of the shoe, but most importantly the black/pink/green colorway!"
Karly - "I loved the foot support they offered, especially for the ankle, and Babolat did a great job with the design."
Tiffani - "The black/pink cosmetic is so fun, and the shoe hit all the musts of a hard court shoe with good durability, stability and traction."
Siobhan - "General stability and traction. After the break-in period I was able to move well in these shoes."
Brittany - "I was not a fan of the high collar and the arch support."
Karly - "The rock-solid heel. They tore up the back of my foot, which made it hard to want to continue playing in them."
Tiffani - "The heel support is just too much. It's too high and took way too long to break-in. I'm all for support, but I felt this shoe needs to flex more in the heel to be comfortable."
Siobhan - "The excessive bulkiness on the ankle support and the high collar."
Comparing the Propulse Lady 3s to other shoes they've worn, our testers said:
Brittany - "This shoe has the durability of the adidas Barricade 7 and Asics Gel Resolution 4. The heavier weight reminded me of the KSwiss BigShot."
Karly - "The break-in reminded me of the Barricade IV; they seem to take an eternity to break-in but were a great supportive pair of shoes to play in."
Tiffani - "I am reminded a little bit of the Barricade adilibria. Both of these shoes are built for hard court play with durability and stability in mind, and both required a break-in period. The Propulse Lady 3 opens up more in the toe box after an initial break-in, but offers a similar feel in cushioning and weight. The main difference is the heel. I've never worn a shoe that comes up as high as this Babolat."
Siobhan - "Durability-wise they're similar to the Asics Gel Resolution 4. They're similar to the Barricade adilibria in weight because that's the heaviest shoe I've worn."
Playtester Foot Types:
Brittany - Narrow width / Medium arch
Karly - Medium width / Medium-low arch
Tiffani - Wide width / Low arch
Siobhan - Medium width / High arch

"need for new, larger maps to fully take advantage of the vehicle transportation"
Artists are badly needed for ALL open source fps projects.
That means that developers should equally focus on improving editors and making import/export between various tools a priority for helping artists; most very good artists aren't programming experts.
Xonotic's webpage is terrible. In order to find out how to submit maps, it is a nightmare. If you want to submit code, it is easier...
Their tool of choice appears to be gtkradiant, but that seems terminated since years.
Googling for gtkradiant shows that darkradiant may be a better fork/choice.
It is not obvious at all for a newcomer. At least not from Xonotics homepage.
EDIT 01: Now I found out that they actually use netradiant - http://dev.xonotic.org/projects/xono.../Creating_Maps
But gtkradiant is the one mentioned here http://forums.xonotic.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=13

"Kukuh! Ya know, when those two're together, I can't help but want to cut them apart…! It's something like… Being driven by this urge to want to cut things in two, right… That's me!!"
'Basic Information'
Name: Suigetsu Hōzuki 鬼灯水月
Nickname: "Second Coming of the Demon"
Gender: Male
Clan: Hōzuki clan
Suigetsu is a lean-built young man of average height, straight white hair with a light-blue tint to it, purple eyes and like all members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist pointed teeth — one of which sticks out even with his mouth closed. He wears a purple, sleeveless shirt with grey pants, sandals and a belt around his waist with water bottles attached to it. He also wears another belt strapped to his chest which he uses to carry the Kubikiribōchō. Due to his special body, Suigetsu is able to alter his body size at will, usually to aid in his techniques and when rendered unconscious, he is reduced to a jelly-like state. Whenever he is seen recovering from these unconscious states he is placed in a large tank of water and resembles a fish-like being
Suigetsu appears to be indifferent, caring only for a few things around him. He spends a considerable amount of time mocking and/or being beaten up by Karin. Despite showing initial dislike towards his team-mates, Suigetsu has grown fond of them, and was willing to risk his own life to protect them against the Eight-Tails.
Kisame Hoshigaki claims that Suigetsu is a prodigy in the art of murder, as he has a habit of chopping off his victim's limbs before beheading them. Suigetsu, despite addressing him with the honourific term "senpai", wants to defeat him and take his sword, noting to Sasuke that he will one day serve him as "shark fin soup" (a reference to Kisame's shark-like appearance) after Sasuke suggested that he was not yet strong enough to defeat Kisame, showing it to be a sign of sarcasm rather than respect for Kisame.
As a prodigy at the art of murder, Suigetsu has a certain love for killing, but he refrains from doing so at Sasuke's request. However, there are several occasions where he has killed people when he believed Sasuke wouldn't notice. Suigetsu has been shown to have thoughts such as "just this once" and "he'll forgive me". However, he was noticeably upset that Sasuke killed several samurai during the attack on the Kage Summit, pointing out how many times Sasuke had told him not to kill anyone. He was described to have a belligerent personality, witnessed through his hostile and aggressive attitude most times.
Suigetsu has a passion for collecting exotic swords: he made it his goal to collect all the swords from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. He took Zabuza Momochi's Kubikiribōchō and joined Hebi only to take Kisame Hoshigaki's Samehada. He even went into great detail to explain about the seven swords to Jūgo, with a passionate tone to his storytelling. However, his passion doesn't seem to be entirely limited to the seven blades, as he also expressed interest in Darui's sword. His ultimate goal however, is to collect the seven blades, so he can reform the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and become their leader. Along with this passion for collecting swords, Suigetsu is very mischievous and as such, takes great joy in foiling Karin's plans to be alone with Sasuke and has stated that it is his second favourite thing to do.[6] By his own admission, Suigetsu has an impulse to cut things up, be it a people or relationships, as he does with Sasuke and Karin.
Suigetsu apparently likes animals somewhat seen from his attempt to play with the talking ninja cats from the abandoned Uchiha warehouse at one point. He also lectured Sasuke on treating animals better after Sasuke used Manda to shield himself from Deidara's suicide technique, which resulted in Manda's death. Suigetsu also has what seems to be a chronic fear of Orochimaru, which is to be expected due to the latter imprisoning and experimenting on him. This fear was witnessed when Sasuke declared that he would revive Orochimaru and Suigetsu's ensuing attempt to dissuade him from doing so. When Orochimaru was revived, Suigetsu even refused to stay on the same side of the cave with him, retreating to opposite ends depending on where Orochimaru went.

Part II
Itachi Pursuit Arc
Immediately after Sasuke defeated Orochimaru, he went into one of Orochimaru's many experimentation labs and freed Suigetsu, who was sealed inside a holding tube. After threatening Sasuke, holding his hand in a style reminiscent of the one used to perform his clan's Water Gun Technique, he pointed out that he owed nothing to Sasuke for dealing with Orochimaru as there were many who wanted to do it and it was just a case where Sasuke was able to, because he was always in close proximity to Orochimaru. Suigetsu nevertheless agreed to join him in the hopes of meeting Kisame Hoshigaki and taking Samehada for himself. Once they left, Suigetsu had Sasuke take him to the Land of Waves to retrieve Zabuza's Kubikiribōchō from his grave. In the anime, the story of Suigetsu obtaining Zabuza's sword was expanded and lengthened out slightly for this episode in order to facilitate an earlier display of his abilities. The sword in question was taken from Zabuza's grave by a politician and crime boss named Tenzen Daikoku, who wanted to take the sword as a trophy, and for "revenge" after losing many men during Zabuza's attempted coup years before.
They then went to the base where Karin resided, where Suigetsu was instructed to free all the prisoners. Before releasing them, however, Suigetsu told them to spread the word that Sasuke killed Orochimaru, and would bring peace to the world. As Sasuke hadn't ordered him to say these things, his motives appear to be unclear.
Once Karin was persuaded to join, they headed to meet with Jūgo. They had to fight their way through an army of people branded with the Cursed Seals to reach him, and, under Sasuke's orders, were told not to kill any of them whilst subduing them. When they found Jūgo, who promptly attacked them, Suigetsu attempted to kill him. However, Sasuke intervened, and threatened to kill both of them if they didn't stop fighting. Jūgo eventually calmed down, and, with some persuasion on Sasuke's part, was recruited. Afterwards, Sasuke told them their mission and their new team's name; they would be known as "Hebi", and their mission was to find Itachi Uchiha.
Soon afterwards the team split up, searching for information about Itachi's whereabouts. This led Suigetsu to a bank where Akatsuki member Kakuzu's banker Ginji was. Recognising him as such, Suigetsu threatened him to talk.[11] Seeing Deidara's large suicide bomb's explosion, Suigetsu was drawn to the site of Sasuke's battle with Deidara, where he had used a special seal to summon Manda and had used the snake to escape the explosion. It had, however, been a little too late, and Manda died, making Suigetsu tell Sasuke that he should treat animals a little better.
After they had rested and continued on their way, Sasuke found Itachi in an Akatsuki hideout. The clone of Itachi then guided Sasuke to an Uchiha hideout. On their way there, the group encountered Kisame Hoshigaki, who told them Sasuke must go alone. Leaving Hebi behind, Suigetsu challenged Kisame to a battle, who gladly accepted, while Sasuke finally made Itachi's death a reality. It was later revealed that Zetsu interfered in the fight, leaving both Suigetsu and Kisame alive.
Invasion of Pain Arc Edit
Hebi, now renamed "Taka", began working with Akatsuki. They went to Kumogakure and confronted Killer B, the jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails. Suigetsu attacked him first, but was quickly disarmed. Both Jūgo and Sasuke's individual attempts at subduing Killer B failed as well, and Sasuke would have suffered fatal injuries had Suigetsu not intervened to spare him a finishing blow from the jinchūriki. However, Killer B's electric attack overwhelmed Suigetsu, cleaving a substantial tear in his sword, and it would have severed in half had Sasuke not nullified the attack in time.
After Karin healed Sasuke, Suigetsu, together with Jūgo and Sasuke, engaged Killer B once more to no avail. At one point, Suigetsu succeeded in immobilising Killer B providing an opportunity for Sasuke to use a lightning attack. Unfortunately, to keep Killer B held, Suigetsu voluntarily received Sasuke's lightning technique as well, sustaining considerable damage.
After severely wounding Sasuke, Killer B invokes his tailed beast form in order to deal with the rest of the group. Suigetsu, thrown into the water earlier, emerged, using the body of water, to save his team-mates from what would been a devastating blow. Keeping the Eight-Tails at bay momentarily, Suigetsu valiantly told his weakened team members to escape, though somewhat amused that he was risking his life for them. When Killer B tried to use a Tailed Beast Ball on the team, Suigetsu used himself as a shield, keeping his team-mates safe.
Although Suigetsu was left unconscious, he managed to gain the time Jūgo needed to revive Sasuke. By unleashing Amaterasu on the Eight-Tails, Sasuke was able to turn the tide, at last successfully capturing the Eight-Tails jinchūriki. After the battle was over, Jūgo carried Suigetsu away. While Taka recuperated, Suigetsu recovered in a tank of water. He yelled at Karin for leaving his sword behind, but was later seen to have recovered it.
Five Kage Summit Arc
Once healed, Taka set out for Konoha. Along the way they were intercepted by Tobi, who informed them of Konoha's destruction and their failure to capture the Eight-Tails. He convinced Sasuke to go to the Kage summit to kill Danzō, so Zetsu led them to the Land of Iron. Upon their arrival Suigetsu scouted the area, in order to find a way to the summit, but he found that there were too many samurai patrolling the area. Jūgo found them an alternate route, where they were attacked by the samurai, having been exposed by Zetsu. As Sasuke killed their attackers, Suigetsu pointed out that he (Sasuke) was doing the very thing he forbid him to do. The Fourth Raikage soon arrived to fight Sasuke and Suigetsu tried to help, but the Raikage breaks his Kubikiribōchō in half. He used what remained of his blade to fight Darui, and was able to hold his own, until Darui infused his own blade with electricity, allowing him to overpower Suigetsu and pin him to a wall. When Sasuke destroyed the room they were in, Suigetsu was freed. He retrieved his sword and regrouped with Jūgo. They contemplated following Sasuke and the Raikage, but decided that it would be too dangerous. Instead, they dressed up as samurai to gather information while avoiding drawing attention to themselves, at Suigetsu's suggestion. They were quickly detected, and Jūgo stated that it wasn't the best plan.
Shinobi World War Arc
As the war was being waged, Suigetsu and Jūgo escape their cell in the Land of Iron, having taken care of the guards, and stating that security had got looser. Suigetsu said he wanted to go looking for his Kubikiribōchō, to which Jūgo agrees to help. He then states that Jūgo is nicer than Karin, and then they decide to look for her as well. During their search for the sword, Jūgo asks why Suigetsu, being a person who gets bored easily, is so particularly obsessed with those swords. Suigetsu then reveals his dream of reforming the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and becoming their leader.
Suigetsu and Jūgo escape from the samurai compound. They walk through a forest and discuss their plans. Suigetsu tells Jūgo that even if they reunited with Sasuke and Karin, it wouldn't be a grand reunion of sorts as Karin wanted Sasuke to herself in order to seduce him. As they continue onwards, Suigetsu tells Jūgo that they'd continue to get in Karin's way which was his second favourite thing to do after collecting swords. They proceed to head towards one of Orochimaru's hideouts. On the way there, they learn about the war. After arriving, Jūgo and Suigetsu have a brief conversation before Jūgo loses control and attacks Suigetsu, who is unharmed. Breaking into a wall, Orochimaru's secret room is discovered and within it, Suigetsu finds a scroll — the contents of which shock him somewhat. He takes the scroll stating that it could be beneficial to Sasuke and to possibly gain control of the war.
Later, when Sasuke was being tormented by thoughts concerning what he was, Jūgo and Suigetsu broke through the ceiling and declared that they had finally found him. Suigetsu examined Kabuto's body and expressed his disgust at Kabuto's navel-snake while Jūgo found Anko unconscious on the cave's floor. When Sasuke asks them their purpose of coming there, Suigetsu handed him the scroll — the one with which he exclaimed that their group Taka could use that to rule the shinobi world with — and making him cognisant of reincarnated Madara's presence even though Itachi forced Kabuto to release Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation, which leaves Sasuke somewhat surprised.
After Sasuke declared that he would revive Orochimaru, Suigetsu vehemently opposed this and tried dissuading Sasuke from his actions to no avail. When Orochimaru emerged from Anko's Cursed Seal of Heaven, Suigetsu retreated behind Kabuto's immobile body and sheepishly greeted his former captor. Shocked when he heard that Orochimaru was not interested in the war that was going on, Suigetsu then quickly relocated to the other side of the cave when Orochimaru moved towards Kabuto. Declaring that Orochimaru was going to kill Kabuto, he is corrected by Jūgo who noted that Orochimaru was only draining his own chakra from within Kabuto. He later listened on, confused as Orochimaru told Sasuke that they were going somewhere he knew well.
Hozuki Clan Techniques
(Suiton: Suika no Jutsu) – Water Release: Hydrification technique
(Suiton: Mizudeppō no Jutsu) - Water Release: Water Gun Technique
(Suiton: Kyūryū: Suika no Jutsu) - Torrent: Water Transformation Technique
(Suiton: Gōsuiwan no Jutsu) - Water Release: Great Water Arm Technique
Hōzuki Clan Techniques and Nature Transformation
As a member of the Hōzuki clan, Suigetsu is well versed in the clan's secret techniques. Suigetsu is able to transform his body into a liquid form, and to return to his solid bodily form at will. This ability also allows him to change his body shape, giving him the ability to increase the size of his limbs, thus proportionally increasing his strength if necessary. It also makes striking him somewhat difficult; since he is made of liquid, any regular strike will go right through his watery form. When struck, part of the water he turns into can also split from his body, and be used to attack others, for example, making a water blob around one's head to drown them. As his body is water, he is also capable of merging with already existing water to increase his attack range, as seen when he fought against Killer B, and to use Water Release techniques. When he passes out he enters a jelly-like state, as seen in the battle against Killer B.
Suigetsu is seen carrying water bottles with him, as he frequently needs to consume water in order to stay hydrated. Due to his water-like body, he exhibits weakness against lightning-based techniques, as exhibited in his defence of Sasuke against Killer B's chakra-charged strike against Sasuke.
From his training days with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Suigetsu is quite adept at wielding Zabuza Momochi's Kubikiribōchō. However, he lacks the high degree of physical strength Zabuza had, as carrying the sword around for long distances seems to tire him out, and makes it necessary for him to drink more water. However, he partially makes up for this with his Hydrification Technique, which allows him to expand the muscles in his arms to help him wield such a heavy weapon with more ease. In addition to his own abilities, Suigetsu also has a good perception for swordsmanship skills, as he saw Killer B was a skilled swordsman almost instantly after the fight began. Suigetsu also seems very fast witnessed when he got away from A's assault against Jūgo and almost got C from behind unexpectedly until Darui stopped Suigetsu from landing his assault and he was fast enough to intercept Killer B's attack on Sasuke. He is also skilled as he was able to clash toe-to-toe with an powerful opponent like Darui even with the Kubikiribōchō broken in half.
Water Release
Having mastered Water release Suigetsu can perform all of the Water jutsus with one handseal.
Wind Release
Having mastered Wind release Suigetsu can perform all of the Wind jutsus slightly faster than the average shinobi

I don't think "won't" is the right verbiage. Cant?
12-string bridges are amazing. The intonation is adjusted for each string which is one of the reasons people love them. They would have a pretty tough time getting 12 piezo elements onto those saddles. I'm not saying it isn't possible but it certainly isn't available (today).
One Life
I meant to say "can't". I was really psyched to build a PS CU-24 with 12 string and piezo, but that came crashing down to earth at 8 AM yesterday morning. I do understand that it is a "they would if they could" situation; not a refusal to do it by any means.
How about a Swamp Ash Spesh, 2-piece body, H-H config, Maple Neck and board with black outline birds. Special forum headstock novelty........No finish on body.
That would keep the production costs down low...... THEN each guitar comes with a $500 PTC credit, and we all mod to suit!!
Could change p-ups, colors, fretboard, inlays, fix the term whatever you want, add your own $$ if you want for something crazy!! Send it to someone for a Metal Paint job or a bowling ball swirl then back to PTC for set up who knows......... Send your body all around the world to be signed by forumites, the back to PTC for the clear coat..... Who knows!!
Have a sticky thread and keep track of them all!!
Would be a cool ad for the PTC too!!

You're never too old for tater tots.
You guys are so totally missing the boat, here.
Just choose a regular model, and have PRS paint it paisley, ship it in a paisley case, and include a paisley T-shirt, hat, socks, underwear and strap. Hans may want to skip the socks, but he could always opt for an extra T-shirt.
Better yet, make the paisley finish available to forum members only on any model, and let people scramble to get on board. That way, everyone gets the guitar they want, only it's paisley. Special. Forum. Paisley.
Private stock guys could get a paisley inlay.
I still like my ping pong paddle idea, maybe if the striking surface of the paddle was paisley, you guys would like it better.

So flip flops were a terrible decision on SXSW 2013's third day. Thankfully, we made plenty of other good decisions on Thursday to balance out the pain of 15 hours on your feet in two-year-old Havaianas.
And it started out by securing tickets for Green Day's intimate show at Austin City Limits Live. The show had the kids all abuzz throughout Austin on Thursday with fluorescent T-shirts flooding the streets and "American Idiot' bumping from their parents' cars. These big shows at SXSW are hardly in the spirit of music discovery, but they're fun for the fans and they bring a certain mainstream legitimacy to the event.
Green Day's set was expectedly familiar with FM hits ("Know Your Enemy') and pop-punk-spirited power ballads ("Boulevard of Broken Dreams'), but it was also full of newer material from the band's trio of new records ("99 Revolutions' kicked the night off). Early on in the concert, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong ' fresh from a stint in rehab last fall ' brought a young boy to the stage for a feet-first stage leap. Every other song created a sing-along of sorts, prompting Armstrong to quip, "Everything is louder in Texas.'
But better than any of the band's songs ' from "Burnout,' "Welcome to Paradise' or "Holiday' ' was the energy the show created. Green Day is used to playing to 15,000-20,000-seat arenas, so seeing them in this 2,700-capacity room was truly a spectacle. They slayed the room, from the ground floor to the balcony, and the kids up front couldn't have been more ecstatic to see their heroes in such a unique room.
Thursday also brought us the best set we've seen so far. British rockers Alt-J threw down a stunning early-evening set at the Mohawk that backed up my call that the Mercury Prize winners' "An Awesome Wave' was the best album of 2012. Hearing that album live was a ridiculous treat, with the record's subtleties captured in a challenging live performance setting.
But they pulled it off. And it sounded better than the record ever will. Playing as a four-piece, they looked like proper English gentleman ' but they sounded like the most progressive band in the game. Also: We didn't expect that voice to come from that guy, but when it did, you couldn't help but sing along and throw your hands in the air. When they threw down "Matilda,' wow. And when they let out "Breezeblocks' to close the too-short set, the capacity patio fell into a universal groove. (If you're reading this from Denver, it's worth noting that the band's sold-out Bluebird Theater show originally scheduled for April 3 has been moved to April 23, still at the Bluebird. Also on sale, its show at the significantly larger Fillmore Auditorium on Sept. 5.)
The prettiest set of the day came courtesy of New West Records, which threw its day party in a castle of sorts, situated in a residential neighborhood 15 minutes outside of downtown Austin. Songwriter Patty Griffin, new to New West, played a few songs to the packed, pin-drop-quiet room. "Get Ready Marie' had the crowd swaying, and she closed with "I'll Miss You When You're Gone.' It was a lovely respite from rock 'n' roll, from bars, from mania. And we felt our heads cleared as we left the party to head back to town.
Others worth mentioning from SXSW Thursday:
Wisconsin-rooted troubadour Trapper Schoepp and his band the Shades played an early slot at the 1100 Warehouse, and even though the crowd was thin, the ever-affable Schoepp threw down a lively set of Midwestern bar rock that was as memorable as it was melodic. He closed with the best song off his "Run, Engine, Run' LP, "Tracks,' and that song ' which always reminds me of the Old 97s at their "Too Far to Care' peak ' set the bar high for the rest of the evening.
We caught film director Robert Rodriguez's band Chingon at the Doritos stage. (And that's the strangest sentence I'll write all day.) Rodriguez is competent on guitar, and he was a fierce narrator as he introduced the night's concept: Performing songs to the video backing of the films they appeared in. It worked to varying degrees, but a high point came right away when the band took on its "El Cancion del Mariachi,' a song he wrote with Los Lobos for the film "El Mariachi.' The mostly-locals audience ate it up.
We stumbled upon DJ/producer Cashmere Cat at Republic Live earlier in the night, and his blend of beats and soul made for an intoxicating mix. He hails from Oslo, Norway, but the kids who filled the dance floor in Texas took him in as one of their own.
British songwriter Laura Mvula gave Griffin a run for prettiest set of the day. Mvula, playing a late-night show at the Hype Hotel, had a startlingly beautiful voice. Sadly the venue was a bit loud, and her full band's sound had difficulty carrying across the warehouse-like space. Still, Mvula's music was what I immediately Spotified when I woke up this morning ' and I can't wait to listen to some more after Saturday's fourth and final day of SXSW 2013 wraps up tonight.

Phoronix: Btrfs In 2014: RAID5/RAID6, Data Deduplication
Samsung's F2FS isn't the only Linux file-system receiving new features but the Btrfs developers are currently baking some new treats of their own...
It would be pretty interesting to see some benchmarks of btrfs+bcache with various SSD optimizations enabled. Apparently the default behaviour is that btrfs detects the SSD and enables them, but bcache then sends sequential writes straight to the spinning rust. [1]

Who in their right mind use RAID5? I think it is better if they focus on RAID6 and shoot for triple-parity RAID instead.

NH teen killers to get sentence reviews after state Supreme Court decision
In its Miller v. Alabama ruling in 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court outlawed mandatory life prison sentences without chance of parole for defendants 17 and younger, saying the sentencing scheme violates the Eighth Amendment's protections against cruel and unusual punishment. The court described juveniles as "constitutionally different from adults" in terms of sentencing.
"The states are all over the place on this," said Manchester attorney Andrew Schulman, who represented Soto.
Levick estimated 2,100 juvenile offenders are serving mandatory life without parole prison terms nationwide.
Woodcock said it's possible the courts would impose the same sentence, even after a sentencing hearing. It's also possible a defendant could get a lesser sentence.

Website last updated: 9 Mar, 2015 @ 02:36
The tried and trusted 4-4-2 formation is the most common formation seen in the UK and one that most players have been brought up with. The solid four at the back and the four midfield players are a firm favorite, especially with UK coaches as it is a safe and trusted way of setting up your team.
A successful 4-4-2 formation is helped by good quality wingers with pace. This is a given in the professional game but not so available at grassroots level. However, there are some very good tips to get the best out of your players in this set up and to get the team all thinking on the same wavelength when defending and pressing. A well organized team at grassroots level creates a massive advantage in any fixture.

Thats a great choice for those who fancy Non-Linux, DRM and CLA. Congratz Canonical you are doing so well these days! LOL.
Phoronix: Ubuntu SDK Looks Towards Qt Creator
Another item discussed on the first day of the virtual Ubuntu Developer Summit is about the roadmap for the Ubuntu SDK...
Thats a great choice for those who fancy Non-Linux, DRM and CLA. Congratz Canonical you are doing so well these days! LOL.
This is actually a great choice, and an obvious choice, for them because of porting Unity to Qt/QML
(Funk, I'm ignoring you if you reply to any of my posts so dont bother)
Wait a minute! I'm able to predict the future:
"We think that Qt Creator is a step forward for develop the Ubuntu SDK. We think to write some plug-in for fit it into ubuntu needs."
1 year after...
"Because Qt Creator suffer of x, y and z (immaginary) weakness, we need to build our SDK (means Qt stuff fork) in house."
I like Qt Creator as a full C++ IDE. If they based their SDK with it then I think it will be just great.
Good choice. I just hope they start offering design resources and guidelines so developers can create beautiful Ubuntu apps even if they suck at design (which is often the case with Linux developers, unfortunately) - in the same way Google, Apple and Microsoft have done it for their mobile operating systems. And I hope they scale well to desktop, because I still hate how old and obsolete most Linux programs look today. Ubuntu wants to be a mainstream OS, but that could turn off a lot of users. People want not just beautiful interfaces, but beautiful apps, too.
That sounds good. QtCreator is already a very good IDE. I just need to learn some more QT/C++ (and QML). It's a shame I needed to learn Java first
They should write their own IDE from scratch. They do for almost everything else. In the end, they should also write their own kernel.

King Felix to face off against Rangers' Holland
Seattle righty struggles in Arlington, Texas lefty coming off two-hitter
When the Seattle Mariners have played at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, "King" Felix Hernandez has been a pauper. Dominant everywhere else, Hernandez has struggled in Texas, going 5-8 with a 4.35 ERA in 16 career starts.
A day after beating the Rangers, 9-2, the Mariners will need Hernandez to overcome his Kryptonite if they want to replicate Tuesday's feat. In his two starts against the Rangers this year (both at Safeco Field), Hernandez gave up 10 hits and three earned runs in 6 2/3 innings in a 4-3 loss on April 11, and 11 hits and five runs in 5 2/3 innings in a 5-2 loss on May 25.
The 27-year-old ace has only given up double-digit hits in one other start this season.
Still, the Rangers aren't taking any chances against the 2010 Cy Young Award winner, who is third in the AL with a 2.70 ERA and fourth with 123 strikeouts. Derek Holland will take the mound for the Rangers riding a 14 1/3 scoreless innings streak against Seattle. He pitched a two-hitter in his last start.
"King Felix may not have his best stuff, but he always figures a way to stay in games," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "He's only human. Every now and then they're going to get him. For the most part, he's always in game."
Before Tuesday's loss, the Rangers had won nine of their last 11 games, rebounding after a six-game losing streak. The Rangers have been fighting with Oakland for first place in the AL West for much of the season, and they now trail the A's by a half-game.
Rangers: Cotts and Nathan share Rangers' June award
The local Rangers media voted both Neal Cotts and Joe Nathan as the team's Players of the Month for June, the first shared award since Ivan Rodriguez and Rafael Palmeiro in 1999.
Cotts went 4-1 in June with a 0.59 ERA while holding opponents to a .189 batting average. Nathan recorded 11 saves in the month, while compiling a 0.59 ERA.
• Leonys Martin had two hits on Tuesday, extending his hitting streak to 15 games. It is the longest-active hit streak in the AL, and the longest for a Texas player this season.
Mariners: Hernandez faces familiar foe
When Hernandez pitches against the Rangers, a secondary rivalry is always in play. Former Mariner Adrian Beltre, now an All-Star in Texas, and Hernandez are good friends.
"We always have fun. It's always a battle," Hernandez said. "I'm just always trying to strike him out and he's always trying to hit a homer against me. If he hits a homer, he's probably going to be running around backward. If I strike him out, I'll do something else. That's what we talk about every time. It's awesome. It's awesome to face him."
Beltre is 4-of-7 against Hernandez this season and 7-for-22 in his career (.318) with a homer and six strikeouts.
Worth noting:
• The Rangers are 30-12 since the start of the 2009 season against Seattle in Arlington.
• Raul Ibanez his 20th home run of the season on Tuesday, and the 41-year-old slugger has six in his last eight games.

The best ways to buy mutual funds online
The days where Mutual fund investors seemed to be a pampered lot is gone now as times have changed. This is very much evident once you approach an agent for a mutual fund because most probably he might either offer you an excuse or an Ulip or both.
However unconceivable this might look like, this is the sad truth for the mutual fund industry. The scrapping of entry loads-the bread and butter for many advisers, is partly to be blamed. But since times have changed, there are better options even if you don't have a dependable advisor. This is where the online route comes in thereby helping you to invest in mutual funds.

During our eight years as owners of Deerhill Inn, we have gotten used to hearing accolades about Michael's cooking and the Inn. This includes the term "scrummy" which I was assured was a compliment in the British Isles. I assume it has something to do with scrumptious, but seems to be a bit more homey and comfort foody ish.
The word we hear most often, however, is "amazing" used to describe the cooking, the Inn, the rooms, the mountain views, the gardens, the atmosphere, the robes, the breakfast, the hospitality, the wine, the weekend, the experience, the romance …
Here are just a few which we have picked at random
"Amazing food and lovely décor" – Dan & Sarah, CA
"Amazing! Great Atmosphere, Wonderful Food." – Phil & Sarah, CT (more…)

GameChanger merges traditional board games with the iPad
Identity Games has introduced the GameChanger interactive electronic board for iPad
Article Summary
While the iPad is basically a device intended for use by one person at a time, the tablet has also proved suitable for multiplayer apps. In some cases, however, its 9.7-inch display is certainly too small to replace a larger, traditional game board and besides, many users prefer playing with physical pieces on a physical board. Dutch-based company Identity Games is seeking the middle ground with GameChanger - an interactive electronic board that merges the old and the new to bring family gaming to the iPad.

The future of the human-computer interface
Article Summary
December 2, 2004 A new Australian research facility called the Visual Information Access Room (VIAR) is at the forefront of the coming revolution in human-digital interaction. The current keyboard, mouse and screen configuration will soon be replaced by digital interfaces that utilise touch, gesture and voice control and seek to integrate seamlessly into our environment. Launched by the National ICT Australia (NICTA), the Sydney laboratory looks like a futuristic office, but is in fact a test facility where sophisticated 3D models of complex systems and innovative ways to interact with complex data quickly will be developed.

I like both the bikes, but I chose Acro because.....wheelies are awesome. ._.
Meh, running shoes.
I use a Mach bike all the time, Acro bike only on special occasions.
Mach. Acro is barely faster than the running shoes and I only use a bike because of the speed. Only time I used Acro is when I needed to do those bunny hops to get to those slightly isolated places.

What can I say? I like doing jumps. Acro Bike all the way.
^ This is the reason why I like arguing. If I come off as standoffish or overly angry in an argument, don't worry. I'm probably having the time of my life. Whether I agree with them or not, the pokemon fandom has a lot of different opinions, and I love how nobody is afraid to share them.even if we don't understand each other, that's not a reason to reject each other. There are two sides to any argument. Is there one point of view that has all the answers? Give it some thought.
I never really cared about being able to do stunts or whatever. The game was about beating as many trainers as you can, I didn't want to play BMX. I am all about getting to a place as fast as possible. I used Mach all the time.

I mainly use the acro bike for the majority of the game and it is my favorite out of the two, however when it comes to hatching eggs and needing to get somewhere very quickly the mach bike is the easy to go.
Mach. I'm from the city, I like speed.
I only use the Acro Bike when I have to get somewhere specific. Mach Bike ftw.

I'm obsessed with using bikes. I need to move the fastest way possible, and if it is the Mach Bike then well that is what I'm gonna use!
I used to be all Mach when I was younger, then I hit an Acro stage where I bunny-hopped all over Hoenn.
Now I just run everywhere for the most part, and I switch bikes to meet my needs.
I use the Mach bike to get to places. It was also more convenient for hatching. Mach bikes FTW. Wheelies are also awesome.
Mach. Even though I keep crashing on walls >.>

Acro, because I'm not very good at controlling the Mach Bike. It goes a little TOO fast, in my opinion. xD

Othello is Shakespeare's remarkable domestic tragedy. Almost a chamber play, against the background of the tumult of Venetian trade wars, Othello follows five characters trapped inside the violent revenge fantasy of theater's most chilling psychopath. At the heart of his play, Shakespeare retells the Italian writer Cinthio's story of African Othello, the great general of Venice, driven mad with jealousy at the hands of his trusted officer, Iago. It is a uniquely powerful and moving experience as we watch the most improbable, and simultaneously hopeful, love story—of winter and spring, black and white—disintegrate before us in the hands of what Coleridge called "motiveless malignity."
Directed by John Bouchard
Original music by Allison Johnson
Scenic Design by Aubree Cedillo

Dr. Ying Competition
High School Freshman Takes Home Top Science Prize
15 Year-Old Whiz Kid Wins 13th Annual Orlando Science Center Competition
Orlando, FL - May 1, 2011 - Kristen Clayton, a 15 year-old freshman from Brevard County's Viera High School and a first time participant in the Dr. Nelson Ying Science Competition took home the top prize during the awards ceremony on Sunday, May 1. Clayton takes home a trophy, a $5,000 cash scholarship plus $1,000 awards each for her science teacher and her school. For more than a decade, Philanthropist, Scientist and Entrepreneur Dr. Nelson Ying has hosted this competition in collaboration with the Orlando Science Center to encourage the outstanding scientific accomplishments of our community's teens.
Clayton's research concerns a rapidly growing aquatic plant named Lemna minor and its potential for use in the production of ethanol fuel. Her work allows the plant to absorb large amount of phosphates and nitrates from the water, which helps reduce algae growth while allowing the plant to attain its maximum starch content. This result makes Lemna minor ideal feedstock for ethanol production.
