Scorpion was the puppet body of Sasori when he was alive. When he inhabited it, it contained his 'core of living flesh' (生身の核, namami no kaku) in the left compartment in its chest.
On the right side of his chest compartment was a mechanism that could spin numerous chakra threads, which allowed Sasori to use his Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets. Its stomach cavity contained a thick cable coiled around a pole (which was coated in Sasori's poison before his death), allowing the puppeteer to use it as a stinger and retract it if necessary. Attached to its back was a scroll holder, containing four scrolls that seem to serve as "ammunition", one of which Sasori used to store his puppets. Scorpion also has a pair of poles to the back of its hips, each equipped with five large blades (also drenched in poison) that could spin like propellers, and pipes running through each of its hands that could spew out intense fire or powerful jets of water.
After Sasori's death, Kankurō retrieved the puppet and made several modifications on it.[1] During Kankurō's usage of the puppet, it was shown to have a Mechanical Light Shield Block installed into it. The left arm of the puppet is also able to extend. Using this puppet, enables Kankurō to use the Red Secret Technique Machinery Triangles.

Same old whining about the ext4... Would it be so hard to test some different filesystems like ext3, xfs, btrfs?!
Phoronix: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Through 10.10 Virtualization Benchmarks
Earlier this month we delivered Ubuntu 10.10 benchmarks from some different hardware comparing the performance of this "Maverick Meerkat" release to that of Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04.1 LTS. The results were interesting, but since then we have had the time to complete additional tests. In this benchmarking roundabout, we decided to see how the performance of every release from Ubuntu 8.04 LTS through the new Ubuntu Linux release performs when tested in a virtualized environment using Linux's KVM virtualization. Here are the virtualized guest results for Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS, 8.10, 9.04, 9.10, 10.04.1 LTS, and 10.10.
Same old whining about the ext4... Would it be so hard to test some different filesystems like ext3, xfs, btrfs?!
These tests are designed to look at the out-of-the-box performance of Ubuntu, if you begin changing out the file-system and other components, you're no longer providing a stock look at the operating system.
In articles where the focus is on the file-system, we of course test different file-systems, but not if trying to look at the performance of Ubuntu over time.
still, it would be really interesting to see the same benchmarks with 10.04 on ext3 and on ext4, just to see if the major difference was due to the filesystem or to other changes in ubuntu/the kernel.
... as well as VirtualBox OSE. I've never seen any stats, but I'd be surprised if there were more KVM installs than virtualbox on the desktop anyway.
As Michael always offers, once you move out from the default install the options become extreme and can be configured in any particular way someone would want.
If you are willing to document (wiki, email, etc) your suggested test configuration, then Michael is generally willing to do a follow up. To date, I don't believe anyone has actually written any suggested configurations.
For PostgreSQL pgbench 8.4.0
The PostgreSQL performance is a similar story to that of our Apache test profile where the transactions per second improved greatly during the switch to EXT4, but with PostgreSQL the numbers continued to improve between 9.10 and 10.04.1 ....
I found that with its result these two statements are against each other. Can anyone explain why?The PostgreSQL database server takes a large performance hit between Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04.1 LTS, which is due to EXT4 changes in the Linux 2.6.32 kernel as we confirmed previously.
That was a very interesting article!! Thank you for the info!
I'm really interested in VM related benchmarks and would like to see more articles like this in the future!
Also it would be so nice of you if you could also include the benchmarks from the actual host to see how they compare to the guests
The software subsystems under test are different. Well, actually the VM based testing is a superset.
For the native testing, IO operations are a lot simpler and in the case of ext4, barriers are used to ensure filesystem consistency. This penalizes numbers where fsyncs and the like are used (since it flushes data to the disk).
When you move to a VM based environment the guest goes through the guest filesystem, the guest block device drivers, the host qemu block device emulation and into the host filesystem, host disk drivers and then into the disk. Barriers are a filesystem construct that forces some level consistency in the data written to disks.
Adding that complexity results in sometimes vastly different behaviours, particularly when it comes to barriers. With that many layers of sw, there are many options about how you can deal with the barriers. For example, six or so months ago I had to dig through KVM/QEMU/SQLITE/Ubuntu for a similar issue - barriers were being ignored. You can then go to barriers being simplistically honored, or you can look to batch the collection of barriers from the upper layers, etc.
Michael's statement for virtualization based tests is that they had a similar change in performance to Apache. He didn't compare the KVM guest behaviour to the native behaviour differences.
Hi, great work. Can you put some Xen stats against it? And again, possibly put up some native numbers to show native, kvm, xen.

Goodguys Southeastern Nationals - Rods And Customs In Nascar Country
Written by on February 10, 2008 Back In Charlotte For The Goodguys Southeastern NationalsIf you've ever been to a famous landmark or met a celebrity--or seen a well-known historic hot rod or race car--you might know how unreal it can be to see a person or place or car that you've only previously seen on television or in photos. There was a little bit of that feeling at the Goodguys 14th Southeastern Nationals, held at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte, the capital city of NASCAR country. Walking through the rows of hot rods, customs, musclecars, street machines, and classic trucks was a familiar enough experience. But looking upward at the banked oval, expansive grandstand, and multi-story suites of the historic superspeedway was a bit of sensory overload. Let's just say it's more impressive in person.
Goodguys made the most of the facility by letting participants drive their cars on the track on Saturday evening. Even at a fraction of the speeds the track is used to, a couple of mile-and-a-half counterclockwise runs is a kick in the pants. Goodguys also set up an autocross driving event for folks who actually wanted to compete in something besides the show `n' shine.
Of course the real action was down on the infield, where an estimated 3,000 cars were lined up for another three-day weekend of good times, Goodguys style .We kept plenty busy that weekend, hiking the rows of rods and customs, photographing as as we could, and selecting 10 of them for the R&C Top Tin corral held on Sunday.
If you've read our show coverage in the past, you know we tend to notice (or imagine) different trends within the hobby in different parts of the country. Here's what we saw in Charlotte: a very high number of '32 Fords in addition to a high number of black cars. It would have been easy to choose 10 excellent black Deuces as our Top Tin winners. We might just do that next year, but this time we decided to find a mix of makes, styles, and model years. Our picks are subjective, but we hope you'll agree with most of them. Of course, what we really want is to get you out to the show so you can see these cars up close. Let's just say they're more impressive in person.

In truth, it's not as bad as it sounds- the problem lies in that people have HIGHLY unrealistic expectations of a LOT of things these days. All the way around on everything, whether you're an employee somewhere, an employer, or one of the consumer crowd.
Right now, I'm just tired beyond description of dealing with people that claim the moral high ground with the GPL and Linux, but yet don't seem to give a tinker's damn about anyone else's rights because 'it's not a guaranteed sale' and 'information wants to be free' and other crap. It gets old when people go and take a copy of something that they technically didn't have rights to but yet get pissy when someone does the same thing with the GPL/LGPL they get their panties in a wad.

by Kristen Schaub If you want big, detailed home theater sound, but don't have the room for large floor-standing speakers, then check out Polk's ultra-compact Blackstone TL2. Thanks to Polk's decades of speaker-building expertise, along with some pretty advanced driver technology, you'll experience effortlessly clear, engaging sound from speakers that take up very little space. Advanced technology produces astonishingly realistic sound The "TL" refers to Polk's "Time Lens" technology, which aligns the drivers in such a way that high- and low-frequency sounds all reach your ears at the same time. This improves the speaker's imaging and soundstaging, so that you'll feel less like you're watching a movie and more like you're part of it. An "acoustic lens" in the speaker grille disperses sound waves in a way that makes your music and movie soundtracks sound larger and more open. The TL2 also features Polk's acclaimed PowerPort® technology to help reinforce bass output. Plus, its sturdy cabinet is reinforced with a steel plate to help fight resonances that can muddy the sound. Easy speaker placement The TL2 has a keyhole slot in the back for easy mounting to your wall straight from the box. You can also use the threaded insert to attach it to an optional speaker bracket or stand. Create your own home theater system using a combination of black TL2's in the front of your room and white TL2 surrounds in the back. Don't forget to add the TL2 center channel speaker and a Polk subwoofer to complete your system. Got wire? Most speakers don't include any.

Bookshelf speakers may be small in size, but they can deliver surprisingly big sound. Some ultra-compact models even fit on a desktop. Most are right at home in tight spaces like shelves, so they're usually good choices for your home theater's rear channels. For the best performance, try placing bookshelf speakers on solid speaker stands to help the sound really "open up." If you want full bass impact, add a powered subwoofer and enjoy punchy sound that's as deeply satisfying as that of floor-standing speakers.
Perfect for my needs Written By Anonymous, Kansas on Thursday, April 02, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) For a recently finished basement for use as a game/movie watching area and kids play zone, these speakers do what I need. Give me something to listen to music/surround sound, yet they didn't blow my budget. Easy install, sleek in design. Very pleased. Pros: Easy install. Good sound quality. Cons: Wish there were more subtle bracket mounting options.
Git my need perfectly. Written By Hank, Illinois on Sunday, March 29, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) As the title says, it fit my need perfectly. I was looking for small speakers to mount in each of the 4 corners of my newly constructed man cave. I have all 4 speakers powered by a older Yamaha 1070 receiver at 110watts per channel. I use the speakers mostly for music and they sound great. The sound is clear and distortion free, even when the volume is way up. They are a bit Ight on bass, but not as much as I thought they would be based on reviews by others. In other words enough bass fo my requirements. Pros: Price, looks, and construction. Cons: None
Powerful little guys! Written By 1NRA, Florida on Tuesday, January 27, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I used four (4) of these as the rear and side surrounds which fit their capabilities perfectly. Very solid and over the past couple of weeks since purchase have worked great. Pros: Easy to hook up and can accommodate many different mounting systems.
Perfect surround speakers Written By Michael, Carson City Nevada on Sunday, January 18, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I had originally planned a different set of surround sound speakers, turns out the Crutchfield rep was of great help selecting the right combination of speakers! Really clear and crisp speakers for movies, TV and music! I purchased some wall mount hangers so I could aim them to where I wanted them to face as well. Pros: Sound and brand. Cons: None
Polk Audio Blackstone TL2 Written By Anonymous, Rhode Island on Monday, December 29, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I just purchased the Blackstone TL250 5.1 surround with two additional TL2 satellite speakers. The system sounds great and fills the room nicely. The room is 16'x24'. Would recommend to anyone.
TL2 review Written By Doug, Wintergreen, VA on Monday, December 08, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great sounding, two forward speakers in my 7.1 surround system. Pros: Good sound quality Cons: None
Great for movies! Written By Enforcer23, Texas on Wednesday, November 19, 2014 Great surround sound speakers. Blu Rays thru my Marantz 5.1 and PS3 sound FANTASTIC. But when it comes to music, they don't quite have the punch I'd like. But I suppose that is to be expected from such small front speakers. Nonetheless, I am happy with my purchase. I will be upgrading the front speakers though :-) Pros: Paired with a Polk Audio Subwoofer that came free with the purchase, Blu Ray Movies sound GREAT. Cons: Not quite the punch I'd like on music. But still not too bad for such small speakers. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars...
TL2 Review Written By Sonya, Griffin, Ga on Friday, April 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Love them, Absolutely great sounds Pros: Great sound quality Cons: bracketts sold separate
Small Speakers, Big Sound Written By Anonymous, Albuquerque, NM on Sunday, April 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Polk makes good speakers. TL2s are perfect for a compact surround setup with an HDTV. I'm using them with a Marantz NR1403 receiver on a 3.1 setup. The Marantz classified them as large speakers during the auto setup. They sound excellent. Pros: compact, great sound, quality construction Cons: none
Polk Blackstone TL2 Written By Anthony G., Albertville, AL on Friday, April 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) If you want surprisingly crisp tones from your rear surround speakers, look no further than Polk's TL2's. How so great sounds come out of a little package has to go back to Polk's engineering. Just by changing these two speakers, (rear surround) in my setup, it awoke by 18 year old system. I can't wait to get my Polk TSi 400's and Polk CS 10 hooked up. Pros: Compact. Aesthetically pleasing. Rich, crisp tones. Cons: I didn't buy more of them
Great surround speaker Written By Vishu, Ocean Springs, MS 39564 on Thursday, January 16, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sounds great for a small speaker
Terrific for a smaller space Written By Bob H, Lake Monticello, VA on Saturday, August 03, 2013 Much depends on the ears of the listener. Polk speakers are noted for the warmth, or smoothness, of their sound quality. For a small office they are excellent when coupled with a receiver also noted for its warmth. I use a Yamaha 573 as my receiver and have Polk TL3s as center channel and front speakers. The TL2s are used for surround center and back speakers with a Polk PSW 111 sub woofer to round out the 7.1 system. For my office space these fill the room with smooth, crisp, music which is slightly warmer than a neutral, flat, sound. Since I find 'bright' or 'brilliant' music tires out my ears I prefer the warmth Polk supplies. I find the Time Lens feature that aims the sounds, especially the treble, to your sitting position a positive feature on these. Pros: Beautiful music, and when watching DVDs, a good reproduction of speech. Cons: I haven't found anything wrong with any of the Polk speakers I have had.
Small footprint, big sound Written By GlennR, Silver Spring, MD on Friday, July 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I replaced some surround sound speakers I have had for years. These TL2s really improve the effect. In fact, my new Sony receiver classified them as big speakers when it did the automatic setup. I tried the TL1s but wasn't happy with them. I love that Crutchfield let me send those back and get these. The customer service was amazing. The day after I shipped the others back I had a credit on my credit card! Pros: Big sound, reasonable price, nice look Cons: Haven't found one yet.
Great Clarity / Good Power / A little more bass? Written By GatorMan, Round Rock, TX on Tuesday, July 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These units are used in my 7.1 system as my surround rear and side speakers. Great clarity and power out of these little guys and they look great. Love the speaker connections on them and easy wall mount capabilities. Lots of power these can be driven by a powerful amp like the Denon I got. But if your looking for more bass then you might want to look at a more traditional style speaker. Pros: Clean Sound / Lots of Power / Easy to Mount Cons: Could have a bit more low / bass to the depth of the speaker.
Great little speakers Written By Pat S., Baltimore, MD on Wednesday, June 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These are great sounding speakers in a very small package. Use them with a subwoofer for very full, rich sound. Pros: small size great sound beautiful high glass finish Cons: made in China
Perfect Surround Speakers Written By Eric K, Philadelphia on Monday, June 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers sound awesome. Pros: Small in size, perfect for surround speakers. Cons: None
Great Written By Daniel M, Conway, AR on Friday, May 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers are great. I have them hooked up with a TL1 Center speaker and 4 Polk RC80i speakers. Couldn't have gotten a better surround sound for the money Pros: loud and small Cons: none
Fantastic Sound Written By Biltil, Keswick on Friday, May 24, 2013 A bit pricey but worth the money if you need quality sound in a small beatifully designed case. Pros: Heavy enough to prevent moving accross the room by itself. Takes volume without the bass doubling back on itself. Brillient highs and a smooth midrange brings it five stars from me. Cons: No cons here except price but then again its pure quality.
Nice Surround Speakers Written By Bob, Amherst, NY on Wednesday, April 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought 2 Polk Audio Blackstone TL2 to compliment my other Polk speakers (Fronts: TSi100, Center: TSi CS10). Needed something that had a small footprint and was white. Placed them on the back wall. Once they were configured properly, they sounded great. Originally had them as front speakers with the TSi CS10. The TSi CS10 over powered them. Moved the TL2s to surround speakers and wow, they performed well. Highly recommend. Pros: Work well as behind the seating surround speakers. Cons: Not good for front speakers.
Polk Blackstone TL2 Written By Stosh, Shermansdale,Pa on Monday, March 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought 2 Polk blackston TL2s to compliment my other Klipsch speakers in my home theater. Placed the Polks on the back wall. It took a while to get them to perform correctly. The auto sound setup on my Yamaha receiver didn't do the job. After manually adjusting the distance and other settings, I finally got the volume corrected. Very happy so far. They have been in use for about 2 weeks. Pros: Work well as behind the seating placement Cons: none
very satisfied Written By Mike W., Hamden , Ct. on Sunday, February 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I use them as sattilite speaker in my home theater and couldn't be happier Pros: nice appearence, great as sattilite speakers Cons: none
Great little speakers!!! Written By Believer, Minneapolis, ks on Sunday, February 03, 2013 I purchased the 5 piece set of the TL2 speakers two years ago and they have been great. The mid-range driver in one of them quit working about two weeks after I bought them, but polk replaced it quickly. Overall they are a great budget speaker, but be sure you have a good subwoofer as these speakers are too small to produce good low frequencies. Oh and if you're buying these as a set and opt to get the free PSW111 I strongly urge you to put the money towards a better sub! These speakers will overpower the sub at high volumes and sound too bright. I just recently upgraded to a PSW505 which is discontinued but can be purchased elsewhere. I have never been happier! Overall the TL2s are worth the money! Pros: Great looks, good sound for movies and low volume music listening. Works well with low power. Cons: If you really put the power to them at high volume they seem too bright, but I would imagine thats just because of the size.
Very Good! Written By foreaces, Royal Oak, Michigan on Wednesday, January 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought these speakers to enhance the high end frequencies of an audio dedicated sound system. Coupled with a pair of floor speakers, these opened up and added more depth to the entire sound spectrum. Worth the money. Pros: Great design, full sound. Cons: None
Superior Design and Sound Written By TJ, Texas City, Texas on Wednesday, November 07, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Since I already purchased the Blackstone 5 Speaker Package a while back, I purchased 2 more BlackStone TL2 speakers to match what I already had and to complete my 7.1 system (for use as either Surround Back or Front Height; currently being used as Front Height Speakers.) Polk sound as usual is superior and the desiign is sleek and modern. I love the black piano color. On a side note, I had to return the first 2 I ordered as both speaker casings were damged. It appeared as if this occured during the manufacturing process. Anyhow, Crutchfiled's process of return and redelivery was a breeze. Pros: Design, size and sound Cons: None
Polk Audio Blackstone TL2 Written By Joe P, Waukesha, Wisconsin on Monday, September 24, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am very pleased with the speakers,lot of sound in a small package
Great Speakers Written By Me, Denver, CO on Tuesday, August 21, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Really love these little speakers. I've paired them with 2 Polk 8 inch in-ceiling speakers, and a PS -10 sub (10", 100W), and everything sounds very good together. There is great difference with the different modes, and I'm using an Onkyo tx-nr414 network receiver. From music to movies, these TL2s are great front speakers, and attractive looking too. Enjoy. Pros: Small, good sound, look great, adaptable. Cons: None.

Polk Audio Blackstone TL2 Written By AmericoA, San German, PR on Sunday, February 27, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sound is great. Crisp and clear. Sensitivity is great with low power AVP.
Polk Audio speakers Written By Ed D, Gloucester, Virginia on Tuesday, February 08, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) We needed small speakers to support our new TV and Blu-ray set. Since the speakers had to be small we wanted to find a set with good quality sound. The Polk Audio units nicely fit our needs.

Anyone Interested In going on a Oregon Biking Adventure??
Here's the deal: I have lived in Portland for one month and now I have to leave. Unfortunately I didn't get to do or see a lot in Oregon.
So...I am going on a week long bike ride around Oregon that will begin and end in Portland. And I wanted to know if anyone wanted to come along. Here is the logistics. I have a route mapped out that I believe would be a lot of fun and get to see a lot of Oregon. It is far easier for me to just e-mail the route to anyone interested because I made it on Gmaps and the link is outrageously long. But basically it would follow all back roads to Bend and then back roads to Eugene, then to the Coast, up the coast to Tillamook and then back to Portland. All and all it will be about 675 miles. I would ideally want leave on 17th or 18th of August. This means cranking out about 100 miles a day. At night just stay at campsites and then possibly stay at a place in Eugene and Tillamook. The kind of people that should come: I don't care age or gender, just be a strong and experienced rider. That means being able to ride long distances at a solid pace. Provide you own food, gear, whatever. Be adventurous and fun to be around for a week. About me: I am a 23 year old male, very active and a recent college grad. Just would like to have one, two, or as many people as we can get to come along. Because doing 675 miles by yourself (even though the route will be beautiful) can be boring and dangerous. Why don't I take a friend? They don't ride bikes but can run really well... If interested I have more info and can send you the route. Respond to this post or to my email email@example.com. Hope to hear from you, Andrew Last edited by K'Tesh; 08-07-2008 at 12:37 PM. |

Nice city centre is small enough to get around on foot. Buses are the main form of public transport and cover most of the city until midnight. The Sunbus is a popular tourist service, running daily to popular tourist destinations within Nice; tickets can be purchased from a local café or tabac. Taxis are not a popular means of transport, as they are known to overcharge tourists and are difficult to flag down. The central train station takes commuters to other towns along the Riviera such as Antibes, Cannes, Monaco and more.
GMT +1 (GMT +2 between last Sunday in March and last Sunday in October).
Electrical current is 220 volts, 50Hz. European two-pin plugs are standard.
The Euro (EUR) is the official currency in France. Currency can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and some large hotels, though you will get a better exchange rate at the ATMs. Major credit cards are widely accepted, particularly in major tourist destinations. Foreign currency is not accepted.
The international access code for France is +33. Most public telephones accept phone cards, which are available in newsagents. Most hotels add a surcharge to calls, which can be very expensive; the cheapest way to call abroad is often with a phone card from a public telephone or at a post office. The local mobile phone operators use GSM networks and have roaming agreements with most international mobile phone companies. Internet cafes are available in towns throughout France.
Emergencies: 112.
Buses leave regularly for hundreds of destinations between Marseilles and Genoa, and Buses 98 and 99 go into Nice every 20-30 minutes. Bus 98 goes from Terminal 1 into central Nice, while Bus 99 goes to the railway station from both terminals. TER and SNCF trains go to Cannes and most other main towns and cities from Nice, and the stations are within a mile of the airport.
All major car rental companies are represented in the arrivals area, including Avis, Europcar, Hertz and Sixt.
Metered taxis are available outside both terminals, and the average fare into Nice is €23-31 during the day and €28-33 at night.
A free shuttle bus connects the two terminals every 5-10 minutes between 4:30am and 12:30am; but they are within easy walking distance at other times.
There are a number of restaurants, bars and shops, banks and foreign exchange facilities in both terminals. Other facilities include a post office, first aid station, VIP lounges, prayer rooms, meeting points, and a business centre with meeting rooms, fax, photocopier and internet facilities. Disabled facilities are good; passengers with special needs should contact their airline in advance. Luggage-wrapping services and porters are available, as well as left-luggage facilities.
There is short and long-term parking available at both terminals. P9 is the most economical, but P2 and P3 are closer to the terminals and charge about double. Extra-security parking is available in lots G1 and G2, and long-term parking is in lot P8, which is served by a free shuttle bus.
Wifi is free in 30-minute increments. Pay-as-you-go internet terminals are also provided.

Command & Coordination Centre
The Command and Coordination Centre (CCC) is the operations room at INTERPOL, offering a point of contact for any member country seeking urgent police information or facing a crisis situation.
The CCC is manned 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by staff members of various backgrounds and nationalities who are fluent in several different languages.
Based at the General Secretariat in Lyon, the CCC is reinforcing its global response with the opening of new sites. In 2011, a second CCC site opened at the INTERPOL Regional Bureau in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and will be followed in the future by a third site in Singapore.
Services and activities
The CCC strengthens the reactivity and operational effectiveness of the world's police through the following functions:
- Assessing all incoming communications and determining the priority level of each message received by the General Secretariat.
- Conducting instant checks on all INTERPOL databases; distributing and assigning information; and replying to all urgent queries immediately.
- Monitoring open sources in order to assess threats and to ensure the full resources of the Organization are ready and available whenever and wherever they may be needed.
- Coordinating the exchange of intelligence and information for important operations, and involving specialist units, regional offices and external partners as necessary.
- Issuing alerts and publishing Notices where threats pose an imminent danger. These include Orange Notices to warn police and/or the public about potential threats, and Purple Notices, used to seek or provide information on modi operandi.
- Assuming a crisis-management role during serious incidents, such as terrorist attacks, and coordinating specialized assistance in the form of an Incident Response Team. This brings together experts in various fields, such as forensic science, DNA, drugs, and so on.
- Deploying support teams at major events with an international implication in order to support national police with security arrangements.

Local chains of trivia hosting whose most common venues are sports pubs or chain restaurants. May also include non-chain restaurants. Format is broken into short rounds, with frequent breaks to make the trivia seem longer without writing lots of questions. Instead of giving the whole night or category a theme, each question is random to provide maximum generic appeal. The host is picked not for their interesting question writing skills, but for their radio-style personality.
I spent 2 hours at a corporate trivia last night and had to drink 4 drinks out of boredom while our annoying trivia host individually graded one question at a time, written on their logo'd trivia notepads. Waste of time and paper.

John,I don't understand what you mean by "there is a lotta parbaking going on..for shame". Do you mean the Joey Mack's pizza?Norma
Yes and elsewhere. It is fairly common unfortunately. I guess in some instances parbaking can be considered part of a "style" but as a crust lover I am not a huge fan of giant crackers.
Thanks for the picture tour of 9th st. They remind me of the Strip District on Penn ave in Pittsburgh, I go there often. Did you ever visit there Norma? My grand dad used to take me and my brothers there for fresh vegies and italian foods early on Sat mornings when we were kids. Penn Mac resides there too.
The little old lady shopping in the one picture has the Texas Pizza Summit t-shirt on. I wonder where she came from.
Norma,I know where that old lady came from. She was one of the Occupy Wall Street people, and can be seen in Reply 39 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,16573.msg161740.html#msg161740. My guess that she was driven out of NYC and headed to Philly, with a stolen Craig shirt from the Texas Summit. She perhaps figures that if she can't be one of the 1%-ters, she can at least dress like one.Peter

Driver killed in Highway 70 crash identified
This trailer, partially consumed, is all that is left from the horrific accident and fire that left the driver dead and a portion of Highway 70 melted in the early morning hours of Tuesday morning, Oct 29. Photo By Will Farris
The big rig driver killed in a fiery crash in the Feather River Canyon on Oct. 29 was identified by the CHP as Franklin Cecil Jarvis, 58, of Chico.
According to the California Highway Patrol, Jarvis worked for Chico Produce out of Durham.
The CHP reported the cause of the accident is still under investigation.
Highway 70 was closed due to damage to the roadway from a vehicle fire .2 miles west of Chambers Creek Bridge, 1.5 miles east of Tobin in the Feather River Canyon. According to dispatch at the California Highway Patrol in Susanville, a big rig was involved in an accident sometime before 3:30 a.m., Tuesday, resulting in a fatality.
According to a CHP news release, "The front of a 2003 Freightliner Tractor Trailer Combination eastbound on SR-70 struck a large rock that was blocking, and on top, of the solid yellow lines. Driver lost control of the Freightliner and allowed it to strike a rock wall north of the north roadway edge of SR-70. The tractor and trailer jackknifed and ruptured a fuel tank. Both the tractor and trailer became fully engulfed in flames. The driver was unable to exit the vehicle and was pronounced deceased at the scene. The collision is still under investigation."
Highway 70 was closed from the Greenville Wye in Plumas County to Big Bend Road in Butte County.
Caltrans official response states, "The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) District 2 crews are on the scene of a fatal accident that has closed Highway 70 in both directions. The fire resulted in damage to the road which is now being repaired. There is no estimated time of reopening. Caltrans would like to remind motorists that the full closure on State Route 32 has been lifted and they are being encouraged to use it as a detour if necessary."
The message on the Highway Information System read: "SR 70 is closed eastbound at Big Bend Road (BUT 70 PM34.0) and westbound at the Greenville Wye (PLU 70 PM33.02) - due to a big rig fire - a detour is not available - motorists are advised to use an alternate route."
Editors note: Highway 70 in the Feather River Canyon has now reopened
Quincy Fire Department, California Highway Patrol, Plumas County Sheriff's Office, Caltrans, PG&E and USFS are some of the agencies that reponded to the scene.
We will update this article as we receive further information.

Red in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen | |
Names | Japanese: Red English: Red |
Gender | Male |
Class | Pokémon Trainer |
Region | Kanto |
Hometown | Pallet Town |
Relatives | Mother |
First Appearance | Pokémon Red and Green (1996) |
Other Appearances | Pokémon Red and Blue (1998) Pokémon Yellow (1999) Pokémon Gold and Silver (2000) Pokémon Crystal (2001) Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen (2004) Super Smash Bros. Brawl (2008) Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver (2010) Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 (2012) |
Rival(s) | Blue |
Main Game Character |
Red (Japanese: レッド Reddo) also known as Fire (ファイア Faia) is a very powerful Pokémon Trainer from Pallet Town, Kanto. He is the first character to be playable in the Pokémon series and his initial appearance is set in the Generation I main games. He has since then made various appearances in Pokémon media, including the Generation III remakes of Pokémon Red, Green and Blue, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. Red is also a NPC (non-playable character) in Gold (Game), Silver (game), Crystal, HeartGold, SoulSilver, Black 2 and White 2.
Red is a very serious person, especially when he battles. This can be seen easily because he seldom smiles. He is very quiet, and is seen only saying many "..."s in the games.Contents
[show]In the anime
- Main article: Ash Ketchum
Red does not appear himself in the anime series, but Ash is his anime counterpart, but Red is confirmed to be appearing on the new upcoming anime special called Pokémon Origins, which appears to be based on the Generation One games.
- Main article: Red (Manga)
His first Pokémon was a Poliwag, which evolved into a Poliwhirl when saving him from drowning prior to the beginning of the story, and evolved once more into a Poliwrath in Buzz off, Electabuzz!
Red is eleven years old at the beginning of the Red, Green & Blue chapter. He is first seen in A Glimpse of the Glow, when he shows a group of children the proper way to catch a Pokémon. He demonstrates by using his Poliwhirl to battle a wild Nidorino. Red is very sentimental, as shown in the battle versus Blue in the ninth annual Pokémon League tournament. He believes that defeating an opponent is no fun if they are at a disadvantage, as seen in both The Secret of Kangaskhan and Make Way for Magmar!. At the beginning of the series, he is quite cocky, as shown in Suddenly Starmie. However, this cockiness has subsided by the end of the RGB saga.
Red's special skill, as described by Professor Oak, is Pokémon battling. As such, he is called the "Fighter" (戦う者Fighter). In later adventures, Red has been viewed as a leader amongst the Pokédex holders.
In the Games
In Red and Blue (Green in Japan) Red is the only playable character. The player advances through the game as Red with, as usual, a name of their choice. He also appears in their remakes, FireRed and LeafGreen, with the same purpose.In Pokémon Gold and Silver and Crystal, and their remakes, Red is fought at Mt. Silver, in which he has Pokémon similar to Ash of the anime (except for the fact that all three starters are fully evolved compared to Ash only having one fully evolved). Red also retakes this role in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. You can battle once again by defeating the Elite Four.
Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold and SoulSilver, he seems like a shady character who has strong Pokémon. Red is the highest leveled trainer of any Pokémon game. This record was broken by Barry in Platinum, but Red broke it again in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
In, Pokémon Black and White Versions 2, he participated in the Pokémon World Tournament. Meaning he has appeared in at least one game in most generations, with the exception of three, it is unknown if he'll appear in six.

Red also makes a appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as the Pokémon Trainer, he is accompanied by Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard and is a newcomer. He only talks when switching Pokémon and when he wins. He does not fight but instead is shown in the background commanding his Pokémon (using special-down will switch them during battle). In story mode he follows the character if he is being used until they get to a point where he is unable to continue, however he will be warped infront of the character at certain times. Each Pokémon he uses is different in weight and evolution. Squirtle is a light weight and is not evolved at all, Ivysaur is an averaged out middle weight and a has evolved once. Charizard is a heavy weight and is fully evolved.
Role in the Subspace Emissary
Red is first introduced when Lucas bumps into him and both are surrounded by Primids. Red uses Squirtle (the only Pokémon available at the start of Red's appearance) to defeat them and continues to go search for more Pokémon (in which Lucas goes with him). They then go to the ruins to find Charizard and Ivysaur, but before they continue, they then are attacked by Wario, which they win. During the story, Red finds Ivysaur as a trophy (likely due to a lost battle with Charizard) and captures it with a Poke Ball, and battles Charizard and captures it as well. He and Lucas then reach the end if the ruins and battle Galeom who fell though the top. After winning, Galeom is revealed to be a Subspace Bomb and grabs Lucas and Red (the latter being knocked out). However Lucas frees them and they are saved by Meta Knight. They then go with Marth, Meta Knight and Ike. They then go to a mountian where a battle is taking place, which ends with an army from Subspace coming to attack. They manage to defeat them (with help from Mario, Link, Kirby, Pit, Yoshi and Ice Climbers). They then meet up with the heroes that were in the Halberd and the Bomb Factory. He (along with the others) go to subspace to defeat Master Hand. However he is defeated with the others by Tabuu. If he is found by King Dedede, Luigi and Ness he will go to fight Tabuu.

- Red is the most powerful trainer in the entire Pokémon franchise, with a Lv 88 Pikachu .
- In his original design, Red was depicted with black hair, but in the latest artwork he is depicted with having light brown hair.
- Red has been referred to as the 'Hero of Kanto,' the 'Ultimate Pokémon Trainer,' and the 'Pokémon Champion'.
- Ash Ketchum is based on Red's first design. They also both have Pikachu, and both have the three Kanto Starters, however Red's are fully evolved where as Ash's Bulbasaur and Squirtle are unevolved and his Charmander evolved fully into Charizard. Ash and Red have both won a championship.
- Also, Ash originally had a Lapras in his team and had a Snorlax as well.
- Red has appeared in every generation of Pokémon, up to and including Generation five, with one exception, Generation three, it is currently unknown if he will make an appearance in Generation six.
- In HeartGold and SoulSilver, his Espeon was replaced with a Lapras.
- Red, being much like all playable charecters, follows a similar trait where he almost never speaks, but when speaking, he simply says "..." or gives commands to his Pokemon.

"Fourteen windows for fourteen years" — that's how our VP of Creative Services, Tom Beebe, describes his work at Paul Stuart when he served as their creative director, decorating the NYC store's 14 window displays each season.
Beebe returned to the store last week, along with others of the Hickey Freeman team, for the Paul Stuart Mad for Plaid party. The party celebrated 6 window displays created by editors and bloggers, including Nick Sullivan of Esquire.
As we ate petite shepherd's pies and ogled the copious styles of suspenders available inside the store, it was easy to forget about the window displays that face passers-by outdoors.
Many of the guest were, fittingly, decked out in plaid. Sullivan was wearing a navy blazer, white shirt, navy tie, and bold green and blue wool plaid pants.
Beebe reminded us how important those displays are for a retail store.
His window designs, he said, focus on movement. He likes to use wires to arrange ties and accessories in unique shapes.
Additionally, he likes to display many options in one category altogether — for example, a rack that displays 40 different colored ties. "That's how men shop," he said. "They compare all the options and pick the best."
Paul Stuart's window displays depicted lifestyle scenes, each including three mannequins. It was surprising to enter and find the vast offerings, including multi-colored velvet smoking jackets and an overwhelming selection of pocket squares, inside the store that took up the space of three floors.
We also respect Paul Stuart for its American heritage. The company was founded in 1938 in New York City.
Visit the store through November 12th to catch the window displays, and pick up deerskin driving gloves or argyle socks to finish your look.

Vote on Common Core education standards delayed in Manchester
Committee member Arthur Beaudry was angered from the start Monday because he said answers to questions from a meeting last month were not made public on the district website until earlier in the day.
Beaudry repeatedly asked for the answers posted online earlier in the day to be reviewed during the meeting, frustrating Ambrogi and Mayor Ted Gatsas several times.
Ryan explained how Common Core is designed to change the way students learn and make them better prepared for the future, whether that includes college or going straight into the workforce. Ryan emphasized that teachers can develop lesson plans from the Common Core foundation.

Merry Christmas Eve All.
Wanted to express to all what a joy it is to be alive this evening.
I am sure I wouldn't be if it wasn't for AA and the mostly the people in it.
I can recall (mostly anyway) in the past I would be passed out on the floor by now.
Good riddens to those days and I don't miss it in the slightest.
I can finally enjoy this night without worrying if I will have enough juice to make it through Christmas itself.
And that I can finally enjoy the time with my family and loved ones.
Merry Christmas to all.
And to All a Sober Night.

True. But if someone needs to order it anyway...why not go to the source. No need to the middle-man, eh? Plus you would then have it delivered directly to your home.
p.s. Of course, if a bookstore will sell it to you for a discount, that could change things.

Words by Gilbert
If you're local to the southern california area, you know when there's a Guppy Grand Opening, Dayuum is always out there in full force promoting it. This was Guppy's 8th location to open up and it was actually a pretty huge success as well. There was lots of foot traffic for a restaurant's grand opening and there were plenty of people in queue to get into the restaurant to eat at the Taiwanese style eatery.
There were go-go dancers like Diana Lushus, Kat Gutierrez, Lynthy Nguyen and Beckie Joon gracing the stage
As well as models in various costumes like Arley Elizabeth, Serena Su, Ashley Clark, Regina Meii, Marie Alvarez and Lily Evans. I didn't manage to get all their photos though, so I apologize for that.
Once again, congrats to the Dayuum Crew on their 2nd Year and Guppy's for their 8th location!

Is your business agreement unfairly valuing your interest?
Blog Entry:
March 27, 2013 4:30 AM | Author: MICHAEL ELLIS
Michael Ellis is a partner in the corporate practice group of
Porter Wright Morris & Arthur LLP
in Cleveland. He focuses his practice in mergers and acquisitions, partnership agreements, and venture capital transactions.
Business partnerships are supposed to last a lifetime. But, like marriages, they often end in separation.
Many business relationships have a close corporation, partnership or operating agreement that sets forth the duties and obligations of the parties, including the treatment of the equity interests of a departing partner. Unfortunately, some agreements only indicate that the departing partner is to receive fair market value for his or her equity. These agreements are insufficient. Fair market value of a minority (less than 50%) interest is not the same as the pro rata percentage interest in the entire venture.
Consider a business that is worth $1 million in a sale. In that case, a 30% owner could expect to receive $300,000 on the sale. If, however, the 30% owner leaves the business and is required to sell his or her equity, such owner is likely to receive far less than $300,000 because the business isn't being sold. In determining fair market value of a minority interest, appraisers are permitted to take into consideration both the "lack of control" common for a minority ownership position, as well as the sparsity of buyers for a minority position in a private company. These "minority" and "lack of liquidity" factors could result in the departing owner's equity being discounted 25 to 50%, resulting in the owner receiving only between $150,000 and $225,000.
In 2012, Ohio amended its dissenters' rights statutes with respect to corporations. Dissenters' rights statutes allow a shareholder, who objects to the price consideration paid in a merger, to ask the state's courts to select an independent appraiser to determine fair cash value. The shareholder is entitled to receive such appraised value, rather than the merger consideration.
Prior to the 2012 amendment, appraisers in dissenters' rights cases could consider lack of marketability or minority status in determining fair cash value. The statutory change eliminates from consideration those discounts, as well as consideration of any premium associated with control of the corporation. In effect, the shareholder is now entitled to receive that portion of the corporation's value as equates to his or her percentage interest. Until the change was made, Ohio was in the minority of states that permitted "discounts" to be considered in determining fair market value in dissenters' rights cases.
It is important to note that the change in the corporations' dissenters' rights statute has not yet been made to similar dissenters' rights laws applicable to limited liability companies or partnerships, nor does the change affect questions of value in cases that do not involve dissenters' rights, such as generally occurs when the ownership of a minority shareholder's equity is purchased under the terms of an existing agreement.
Business owners also should be aware that "fair market value" can mean different things depending on the particular setting. For example, the fair market value of a business determined for estate tax purposes may be less than the value of the business the owners may consider fair and reasonable in a sale. Further, the business value of an ongoing business is greater than the value of the assets were such assets to be sold separately in a liquidation of the business or if a "fire sale" of the business is contemplated.
Accordingly, business owners should be careful in drafting their close corporation, partnership or operating agreements to clearly define fair market value. The definition should require that in determining fair market value, the business be evaluated as a "going concern" and that no discounts or premiums should be applied in valuing the equity position of any owner.

Cute belt!
I love animal print belts done in calf hair because they look so chic and really add a great pop of interest to whatever you're wearing. This one was no exception. The quality was fantastic and the pattern was perfect. The sizing on this is true. I'm typically a medium in belts and the medium fit great.

How to Make Chestnut Puree
I have been looking for chestnut recipes lately and I have seen a few that call for chestnut puree. Since I have a bunch of fresh chestnuts I thought: Why don't I make my own chestnut puree? When making the chestnut puree I used boiled chestnuts as they are softer than roasted chestnuts. Chestnut puree comes both sweetened and unsweetened varieties. If you wasted to make a sweetened puree you could just add sugar or some other sweetener such as maple syrup or honey, etc.
12 chestnuts (boiled and peeled)
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1. Place every thing in a small sauce pan. (The liquid should just cover the chestnuts.)
2. Simmer the chestnuts until soft, about 10-20 minutes. (Watch them as milk can quickly boil over the side of a pan.)
3. Scoop the chestnuts out of the liquid, reserving the liquid.
4. Puree the chestnuts using as much of the reserved liquid as required.
Use in:
Chestnut Cheesecake

What is the difference between food allergy and food intolerance? - Elaine
Food allergies and food intolerances can have similar symptoms, but are very different conditions. Intolerances, such as lactose intolerance and celiac disease, can cause someone to feel ill. Food allergies not only can make someone feel ill, but also can cause a life-threatening reaction.
Food intolerance means either:
Symptoms of food intolerance can include nausea, gas, cramps, abdominal pain, diarrhea, irritability, nervousness, or headaches.
A food allergy occurs when the body's immune system, which normally fights infections, sees the food as an invader. This leads to a response from the immune system — an allergic reaction — in which chemicals like histamine are released in the body. The reaction can cause symptoms like breathing problems, throat tightness, hoarseness, coughing, vomiting, abdominal pain, hives, swelling, or a drop in blood pressure.
Even if previous reactions have been mild, someone with a food allergy is always at risk of the next reaction being life threatening. Eating a microscopic amount of the food, or sometimes even touching or inhaling it, can lead to a serious allergic reaction. For this reason, those with food allergies must avoid the problem food entirely and always carry emergency injectable epinephrine.
In contrast, many with food intolerances can ingest a small amount of the bothersome food without a problem.
